FEEL RICHMOND
MORE DISTANT
THAN CAPITAL
Eighth Congressional District
Fighting for Life Under
Reapportionment

The "Back to the District"
movement, which originated in
Arlington county last year, has
been revived in Alexandria
since the plan to eliminate the
Eighth congressional district
has been before the State legis-
lature.
Many residents of the city, who
have expressed willingness to
be taken back into the District
Of Columbia, point out that this
section of Virginia has in the
past years been unable to secure
any recognition from the Rich
mond government and is much
closer to the Capital than to
Richmond.
Meanwhile, the entire Eighth
District is preparing to carry the
fight for existence to the ulti-
mate, which will be Governor
Pollard's signature on the bill.
The chambers of commerce of
Arlington, Alexandria and Fairfax
have already appointed delega-
tionS to go to Richmond and
lobby against the redistricting
and the boards of supervisors of
each of the counties in the dis
trict have also passed resolutions
opposing the elimination of the
district.
The residents of the District
argue that it is the only one, ex-
Cept the Maryland district adjoin-
ing on the north side Of the
Potomac that is affected by Fed
eral legislation and that they
should not be robbed of their
voice in government by being
annexed by the first district,
which includes Newport News and
Portsmouth which have nothing
in common with northern Vir-
ginia.

Visit Your Dentist
To Auoid Danger.

1t is wise man who knows what
to be afraid of, and dull one who is
not afraid.
People are not sufficiently afraid of
a cavity in tooth. They do not re-
alize that by the time cavity is big
enough for them to see there is al
ready danger that the tooth may be
lost. Nor do they realize that the dis
solution of the tooth they see is a
disease headed, inevitably, to the in
side of the body to invade nerves,
bloodvessels, bone and the vital organs.
If they realized these things they
could not ignore dental cavities-fear
would not let them. Your dentist can
not prevent dental cavities. However,
if he has chance to examine your
teeth at least every six months he can
keep cavities at minimum.
Dental examination is regular SER
vice which I render without charge or
obligation.
