Sea Exploits of Jones Told in Broadcast On 'Our Freedoms’ Eastern High Students Dramatize Life of iU. S. Naval Hero The story of John Paul Jones and his accomplishments in gaining freedom of the seas for a fledgling United States was the contribution of students of Eastern High School to the series “Our Freedoms” in yesterday’s broadcast sponsored by The Star and the High School Radio Committee through the facilities of Washington’s Blue Network station. America’s first and one of its greatest naval heroes, John Paul followed by Americans at war today. His immortal words, “We have just begun to fight,” uttered during the Revolutionary War battle between his battered ship, Bon Homme Rich- ard, and the British frigate Serapis, characterized the courageous Scot- tish-born naval fighter throughout his entire life on the sea.

The radio story went back to the time young John Paul ran away to America to join the service of the merchant fleet and eventually to win an appointment in its miniature Navy at the start of the War of In- dependence. His surname changed to “Jones,” after family friends in America, the young seaman rapidly established himself by his darng raids on British war and mer- chant vessels in Britain’s home waters. It was the other side of the Atlantic that Capt. Jones in his Jones’ career offers a model to be Tth, 8th and E Streets outmoded French ship climaxed his THE EVENING STAR,” WASHENGTON, career”with the defeatof the splen- didly equipped Serapls.

John T. Chedester, deputy warden for the Friendship area, reported that organization of sector and block wardens is now practically 100 per cent completed. Mrs. R. B.
