Change in Rezoning
Procedure Weighed

A requirement that petitions tc
rezone property be presented to the
Arlington County tVa) Board OF
Zoning Appeals before being pre-
sented again to the County Board
for final action, would be dispensed
with in plan being considered to-
day by members of the latter group.
At a meeting Of the County Board
yesterday, Edmund D. Campbell,
one of its members, declared he
thought the present procedure
works an undue hardship
las far as 1 have been able to
learn" Mr.. Campbell said, there
Is nothing in the State law that re-
quires us to operate as we now do
If it is provided for in a local
ordinance, I think it should be re-
pealed. The only authority I find
for the Zoning Board of Appeals
is for its granting exceptions to the
zoning ordinance"
Others Concur in View.
Board Member Basil DeLaShmutt
said he concurred in Mr.. Campbells S
views and Chairman F. Freeland
Chew said he had felt the same way
for long time.
Mr.. Campbell said he would offer
q measure to remedy the situation.
County Engineer C. L. Kinnier,
former board member, said the
present procedure was adopted as a
policy many years ago.
Gilbert L. Hall, chairman of the
Board of Zoning Appeals, declined
to comment on the proposal today.
The board approved petition
from Claudia r. Stone and the Real
Title Corp. to rezone five lots in
the 1000 block of Fourteenth street
north from residential B to local
business.
The board appropriated S7,34985
from the general contingent fund
to extend sidewalk construction and
street widening on Columbia pike,
on the recommendation of Mr.. Kin
nier. Mr.. Kinnier said the location
of the new War Department un-
doubtedly would cause considerable
development in the Arlington (com-
munity) business area of Columbia
pike.
Paving Bill Awarded.
The additional appropriation will
supplement the county's share of
the cost of a widening and sidewalk
construction program previously
authorized and now started by the
State Highway Commission.
A contract was awarded to the
Arlington Asphalt Co., the only
bidder, to resurface Arlington Ridge
road from Lee boulevard to Nine
teenth street north, and Nineteenth
street north from Arlington Ridge
road to North Moore street.
Total expenditures for the first
half of the month were reported
at $122,84790, of which S26, 1891 .85
was for pay roll. The board author
lied a loan" or transfer to the
general fund, from the sewer assess
ment fund of $50.000, bringing to
$4,000 the amount thus transferred
so far this year. The funds are
to be repaid out of tax revenues
which will begin to arrive in De-
cember. These loans" usually are
made lin the fall of each year, but
have occurred later this year than
was necessary in 1940

Weinberg. attorney for licensed en-
ployes of the Claiborne Annapolis
ferry, contended today that State
Roads Commission officials were cit
ing incorrect figures purporting to

Overton Plan
Death Hits
Recreation
Funds Hoped For
To Expand
Playground System

The landslide vote which buried
the Overton plan in the House last
week also knocked a prop from
speedy realization of the proposed
IS 5,580,70 recreation development
program just submitted to the Com
missioners.
The program, calling for develop
ment of % existing centers and
opening of 13 new centers, as well
as park improvements and six new
swimming pools, looked to the
s3,000,000 additional payment which
would have resulted to the District
under the plan as a possible source
OF funds which would cut down the
length of hme required before the
entire program was realized.
About the only extra budgetary
source of funds now in sight is the
other suggested by Acting Co
ordinator of Recreation Milo F.
Christensen in his report-the Lam
ham bill for the relief of national
defense centers whose municipal IA
cilities have been strained because
of defense activities.
Many of the items included in the
development schedule have beer
sought by civic groups for many
years. Obtaining them through thu
regular budgetary channels in $780,.
900 priority annual allotments woulc
doubtless spread the completion Of
the program over at least 10 years

be done in 5.

50 Years of School Work
Include Other Things, Too
Dinner Saturday
To Honor Record
Of Miss Pulizzi

After teaching the boys and girls
of Washington for a half-century
Miss Blanche Louise Pulizzi still
calls them my children" and they
bring her flowers.
But this veteran of so years in
the school system, 25 of them as
principal of Janney School, says:
"If I'd just stayed within this
school belt I'd be so narrow"
To avoid that, to like her children
Just as well at the end of her 50th
year as she did her first, Miss
Pulizzi has regularly recommended
for herself a change of scene.
She has her bridge club, concerts,
her automobile. trips to Florida in
the winter and a perennial battle
for civic Improvements.
Won Vestibule Cars.
Streetcar motormen won closed
vestibule cars because Miss Pulizzi
chanced to notice snow blowing into
motorman's face in one of the
old open cars.
When Tenleytown, now Friend
ship, was just an overgrown farm,
a branch public library was started
in Janney School and later moved
into the building vacated by No. 8
police precinct station. That was
Miss Pulizzi's work, too.
The first traffic light in the
Friendship section was installed
at Wisconsin avenue and Abe
marie street-a dangerous inter-
section for Janney School children,
Miss Pulizzi didn't stop hammering
at officials until it was installed
Then she went after a traffic light
for Wisconsin avenue and Fessen-
den street.
For those achievements and others
Friendship Citizens Association is
giving banquet Saturday in honor
of its vice president for the last
20-odd years-MisS Pulizzi.
Granddaughter of the late Maj
Vennie r. Pulizzi, who was COM
mandant of the Marine Barracks
here, Miss Pulizzi started teaching
at Corcoran School in the first
grade. 1t was a new building then.
Now, says Miss Pulizzi, it looks $50
forlorn."
Then came Force, Addison, Fill
more and Berret Schools. The only
opening for a principal was at the
Industrial Home School. None of
the other principals wanted it. Miss
Pulizzi took II.
Teaching Methods Change.
When Janney School was built
"every hand was out for the job
as principal, but she had been will
ing to take the Industrial Home
School, and Janney School was her
reward.
There have been changes in the
way of teaching these so years, and
sometimes, Miss Pulizzi says, she has
fought it out with myself" when
she saw trends away from formal
| education.
Now she is willing to admit that
the greatest progress made has been
to help each child develop along
the lines he is fitted for-not "huddle
them all together, with everybody
taking algebra when they're better

A special committee of the Fed
Grafton of Civic Associations has
investigated the problem OF tru-
ancy and reported that the law is
not being administered and en-
forced to the satisfaction of the
citizens, principals or teachers Of
the public schools. A digest Of the
report follows:
The attendance problem is
double one, consisting of those who
deliberately defy the law and those
who are ignorant of the law.
In the case of the first group,
teachers and attendance officers
have exhausted means at their
command but can file cases for
Juvenile Court only through the
director. From the records of the
Juvenile Court the number of cases
referred varies from II to 43 during
the years 1935-1940. The figures

The committee suggested seeking
collaboration of the Police Depart
ment and contended there is a twi-
light zone in the theaters which
neither the attendance department
nor the police regularly check for
truants.
Mrs. Sheldon, the report contin-
used, is inclined to temper justice
with mercy. Disposition of the cases
is a problem for the court rather
than the department.
Many non-residents are guilty Of
the violations and should be COM
PEELED to observe the law If they
attend District schools.
The committee therefore recon-
mends:
l. That the attendance depart
ment diligently enforce the COM
pulsory school attendance law with
out fear, favor or sentimentality.
2. That . chief attendance ofncer

visions 1913.
3. That the attendance depart
ment enlist the services of the Po-
lice Department in checking homes

ing those not enrolled.
4. That the department take i'm
mediate and definite steps to have
all children thus found not en-
rolled to enter school without fur
ther delay.
5. That attendance officers regu-
larly check theaters for truants.
6. That attendance officers be
empowered or permitted to enlist
the assistance of any police officer
in the proper enforcement of the
law.
Z. That truants found upon the
streets or In public places be taken
In custody.

showed that the number of cases
where a parent was held response
BILE for the failure of the child to
attend school during this same
period varies from 2 to 27.
In a conference with Mrs. Alice
c. Sheldon, director of attendance,
the committee said Mrs. Sheldon
told 1t the figures were incorrect
and submitted other figures which
the committee was unable to check
in another visit to Juvenile Court
records. The committee felt the
records showed small action in view
of "all the apparent truancy any
citizen may observe on passing
through our streets during school
hours"
The committee also felt a laxity
on the part of the department in
acquainting newcomers to the city
with the existence of compulsory
school-attendance laws.
