RULING WAITED
ON HERND0N
BOND ISSUE

HERNDON, Va, Feb. 23.-The
Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals
is expected to act soon on the ap.
peal of two Hernden citizens for an
injunction to prevent the town
from issuing bonds for $87 400 for
water and sewer systems.
1t has granted a writ of appeal
in the case of Ralph o. Ennis and
Ernest c. Shull, who attacked the
validity of a town election author.
izing the bond issue in the Fairfax
County Circuit Court. Judge Wal
ter T. Mccarthy upheld validity of
the election in a decision given
February IL.
In his decree refusing to grant
the injunction. Judge Mccarthy
held that Virginia law does not
limit the bonded Indebtedness of a
town to 18 per cent of it's assessed
real estate value for specific under.
takings from which revenue may
be derived. This was one point
raised by the two men in their bill
of complaint. They also contended
that the charter of the town re-
Stricts its bonded indebtedness to
$4,000.
The lower court suspended oper.
alton of the decree for 80 days to
permit the complainants to appeal
to the State Supreme Court.
Because the town is anxious to
proceed with the Improvements
without delay, the high court has
been asked to rule on the question
at its present session in Richmond.
OF the total bond issue, $4,000 is
proposed for installation of sewer
system, and $37,40 for extension
and improvement of the present
water system.

that Masonry cannot exist under

RELIEF FUND
REQUEST

After four months Of delay, the
District Commissioners today
threw cold water on the proposal
Of the Board of Public Welfare
for an $S3o,000 deficiency appro-
priation to bolster the Districts
relief program.
Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen
and Assistant Engineer Commis-
sioner Patrick H. Tansey, who
acted in place of Engineer Com
missioner Dan 1. Sultan, called in
a subcommittee representing
group of more than 30 welfare and
social organizations and stated
that nothing could be done on the
welfare boards proposal. The sub
committee was appointed following
a hearing with the Commissioners
more than a month ago to work
out means of realizing the boards
proposal.
NO ID. G. MONEY
At the conclusion of the meet
ing Commissioner Hazen stated:
1--WE told them there just
wasn't anything that could be
done at this time. Everyone
knows that the District has no
money and we do not know Of
any place we could get the
money which had been recon-
mended."
It was revealed by the commit
tee members that the proposal
had been considered by the Bud
get Bureau, but had been turned
down by that agency
Hazen said he advised the sub
committee members to seek a
larger relief appropriation for the
next fiscal year before the Dis
trict appropriations sub-commit-
tees in Congress. The subcom-
mittee was composed of Mrs. w.
A. Roberts, Walter S. Ufford,
Coleman Jennings, Mrs. William
Kittle and Major Campbell C..
johnson.
Request in October
The Welfare Board made it's pro-
posal last October, declaring need
for the funds to aid small-salaried
persons and persons who are un-
employed but employable-both of
which classes are not eligible for
relief-during the winter months.
The Commissioners delayed con-
Sidering the proposal first because
of the pending national elections,
second because of the Inauguration
ceremonies and finally because of
the Presidents birthday ball before
meeting with the welfare organi-
cations on the proposal.
Hazen pointed out that primarily
the proposed fund was for aid dur
ing winter months and that the
cold weather almost was gone.

| LIP-READ|NG
FOR CHILDREN

Six or seven school children
with defective hearing gather each
Saturday from IL a. m. until noon
in the headquarters of the Wash
ington League for the Hard of
Hearing, 1116 Vermont Ave. N. w.,
to study lip-reading.
Aged from 7 to 13 years, the
children are taught. by Miss
Frances Harrod Downes, who is
employed by the league. The lip
reading class Is free.
Miss DowneS, in an interview at
the last class, declared:
There are children who hear
just badly enough to miss the
point of what is said to them.
So they often appear to be stu.
pid when they are not, and in
school they find it easier to say
they do not know something
than to admit they do not hear.
Soon this defective hearing pro-
duceS children who are reticent,
shy and drawing back all the
time"
Miss Downes first makes the
children feel perfectly at ease,
which they do after they realize
there are other boys and girls with
the same handicap. Then she
makes the youngsters feel as
though they are playing a game.
She always has some little prize
to award the one who makes the
least mistakes, and always has a
gift for a new pupil.
Miss DowneS says a word or a
sentence without uttering a sound.
The children closely watch the
movement of her lips, and in turn
are called upon to say out loud
what they could read from her
lips. This is practised so often
that the children soon develop
keen powers of observation and
the ability to know what is said
to them, even though they cannot
always hear.
One mother who brings her 12-
year-old son to class each week
noted a complete change in his
attitude toward deafness as soon
as he started lip-reading.

 By I. L. Crosby,

One of the most enjoyable pro- grams ever presented was enjoyed last night by the PlattS Mills Coin- munity Association when the male sextet of the Naugatuck Bethany Congregational church presented a program of songs and Rev. Thomas Leroy Crosby of the South Feder- ated church spoke on, Our South"
 Rev. MT. Crosby, having lived in the south during some of his early years, discussed authoritatiyely the often misunde derstood customs of the south from a northerners viewpoint and vice versa, aiso the gradual disappearance of this as the south becomes industrialized and ease of travel brings the people of our north, cast and west to the south and the south to the north, east and west.
 The sextet, with Roy M. Johnson as leader, gave several selections irl- cluding two numbers especially for children and one very delightful negro spiritual which followed Rev. MT. Crosby's talk. The members of the sextet included: Leader Roy Johnson, Paul, Walter and Arnold Anderson. Philip Peterson and Paul Johnson. The applause at the com- pletion of each number showed the appreciation of the audience. The program of their songs follows: "AG The Close of The Day.; Be- hold Show You Mystery; keep Sweet; I've Been Listenin"; "The Story Of A Tack; "Fishin' 2; ''Bless This House"
