CAXIFRAGE or rockfoil. which

able for almost any spot in the
rock garden. 1t is especially fine
where a small plant is needed.
The saNifrage is very hardy
perennial. There are also few
forms of ANIMALS. but the ANIMALS
are less attractive and are
hardly worth bothering with.
The saXifrage blossoms are
either yellow or white and the
leaves frequently form rosettes.
Some kinds grow tall and some
short, but the tall ones are not

FALLS CHURCH, Va, Oct. IA
The Falls Church Town Council
last night set hearings for october
% in the town hall on a record
budget proposal of S42.2l5, but kept
the present tax of s1.85 per $100.
Increased real estate valuations of
S1,750l62. and a record tax collec-
ton of 80 per cent for the current
year prevented an increase in the
levies.
The Council also voted Is new
street lights and $500 for about 100
street signs, and dispensed with the
services of the town labor foreman,
Walter Mitchell
Chief items in the s2,53l budget
increase over 1940-41 were rises of
s720 and $3.50 in the prices of gar
bage and trash removal contracts
for the growing town. An auditing
system for the town will cost an es-
timated $500, and police costs will be
1921 more in the 194l-42 year.
For new street surfacing only
$1,000 was proposed. Total for main
tenance, equipment and new sur
facing was put at S12,725, or s1,75o
less than for the current year.
Town revenues will increase about
s4,368, the Finance Committee,
which submitted the budget, esti-
mated. With transfers of S2500
from the water and sewer funds, this
will provide nearly $1,000 more in
come for the next fiscal year.
Chief increase, S6,845, is expected
in the corporation ,levies, while the
militant collection campaign in ef-
feet this year is expected to cut de-
linquent revenues by s1,87l.
Earlier the Council received a nom
committal reply from the State
Highway Commission about the
widening of Lee highway from
Broad street to its intersection with
Hillwood avenue. The State asked
the town for a resolution guaran-
teeing rights of way for relocating
the Hillwood avenue-Lee highway
junction, but promised no action on
the widening job if the resolution
were passed.

the home of Robert W. Shetterly,
colored, on Washington avenue, just
behind the Meadowbrook Saddle
Club on the EaSt-West highway, as
a mute reminder of the days when
the house was a gathering place for

Fried chicken. sizzling pork chops

by an employe of the Saddle Club
that he serve dinners at his home
on Sundays for persons who rented
horses at the riding academy. He
was then, and still is, employed as
chef in an Arlington County (Va)
restaurant.
TT was good idea for the club"
he remarked. because then the
people would stay out longer. Other
wise, they would have gone home
early to eat I didn't mind, either.
because it brought in extra money
for me, too
Fried chicken was the piece de
resistance at most of the meals, he
recalled, because those people sure
liked to eat hearty after ride" On
frosty nights, baked beans went par
ticularly well.
All the chickens were freshly
killed, as he raised them himself.
Sometimes as many as 80 people
crowded into his home and over
flowed into dining room on the
second floor to eat.
Once" he said, II had to feed so
people. That was some job. But
they all left satisfied. At least no
one ever said otherwise"
Sometimes he would get a call at
work during week day telling him
that group of people were coming
to his house for dinner and he
would have to take time out to cook
an entire meal and send 1t over by
messenger.
