In Fairfax County

155 Acres on Telegraph
And Burgundy Roods
ACQUIRED for Housing

The Alley Dwelling Authority has
acquired 1858 acres of land on
Telegraph ard Burgundy roads in
Fairfax. County, just outside the
Alexandria city limits, for construc-
ton OF several hundred temporary
type demountable houses, 1t was
learned yesterday.
Members of the Fairfax County
Planning Board will meet Tuesday
afternoon with John Ihlder, exec
utive off1cer of the A. D. A., to dis
cuss plans for the development.
Hugh Pomeroy, director Of the Vir-
ginia State Planning Board, also
will be present.
The number Of houses to be
situated on the tract will not be
determined until local conditions
are studied, Mr.. Ihlder said. Those
placed there. however, will apply to
the quota of 1,70O demountable type
houses the A. D. A. has set for
nearby Virginia.
~. Ihlder said A. D. A. oficials
would meet with Montgomery
County school officials to discuss
educational facilities for children Of
families who are to move in the
300 demountable homes to be
erected near Garrett Park, Md.
County School Supt. Edwin w.
Broome said adequate school facil-
tiles for a development of this size
would cost from $150,OO0 to 5000, 900
plus $4,000 to $4,000 q year for
staff and maintenance.
The Fairfax County project will
be situated west of Telegraph road
and south of Cameron Run, a short
distance to the rear Of Belle Haven
and the Lord Fairfax Country Club.
Mr.. Ihlder said he had discussed
the project with Fairfax County

confer with the County Board Of

sewer and water systems was con-
sidered in selecting the site.

about half a mile from the supply
trunk line of the Alexandria Water
Co. on Duke street. City Manager
Carl Budwesky said no arrange
ments had been made for sewer
service from Alexandria.
H. c. Moore of the Fairfax
County Planning Board said there
had been two conferences with the
A. D. A. in recent weeks concern
ing the project, but that the impress
sion was received that the site had
been acquired and there appeared
to be no need for hasty action on
the part Of the planners. He said
he had been told the project would
be quite large, consisting OF several
hundred units.
The deeds Of conveyance for three
tracts involved in the site were re-
corded at the Fairfax Courthouse

By Mrs. Chas. Krantz
Pine County Farmer Fieldwoman.

Now that the smoke of election
has blown away, we settle ourselves
to our daily routine and idly WON
der how the administration of the
next two years is going to affect us.
We farmers have always considered
ourselves more or less as a football
kicked around by the opposing (po-
liticaD teams. We have taken a lot
OF vicious kicks, but we have brought
home many glorious victory. Now
that the Republicans are victorious,
we hear the same old predictions
This country will now 60 to the

ing up" Those who heard our gov
ernor speak via the radio the other
evening must admit that he spoke
nobly, and with a voice that rang
with responsibility and sincerity.
Our farm program was spoken of
with understanding. Let us pledge
our faith to the captain of our state
for his words. Often we farmers do
not understand our own problems.
They are so complex. But no matter
how well meaning our administra-
tors are-victory depends on us as
individuals The old adage, 1T isn't

Church and Home
By REV. M. SEN

The peoples of the earth are pay
ing for their sins.
Yet, are they not a rather small
group, who realize what this terrible
scourge, which is lashing the world
and winding its way across the ma
tons, actually is, leaving horrible
suffering and desolation in its wake?
We do not like to think of our
guilt, much less to think of a God,
who, in His Righteousness, is releas-
ing the powers of punishment upon
the guilty.
Whenever nations do not seek first
the Kingdom of God, but, in their
pride, seek power, markets and ter
ritory for themselves; when they,
instead of feeding the hungry, feed
their own selfish desire and lust for
power and money, and kindle ever
more the fire of hatred in the souls
of men toward those who transgress
upon personal rights, they certainly
invite disaster; when this has been
the order of the day for ever so long,
we should not fail to realize that
some day the consequences of such
folly may assert itself in the form
of a terrible judgment for which they
have gradually been maturing.
God is not Knocked"
We may expect to reap what we
have scattered, and we should there
fore, as we have sown injustice and
yVnnro1 1ovifxy hn 70 CT
along under the burden as bravely
as we can. Of course war is too
heavy burden for any human being
to carry alone, it's too staggering a
load even for humanity as whole,
because it is sin of the first degree,
and, as things have developed today,
it is a sin from which there is no
escape. 1t would be a sinful act in
itself to evade what is, at the same
time, both an obligation and a severe
punishment. All mankind is asked
to do its share in the progress of
reaping. So far, there is no choice;
we are caught, as it were, between
two millstones, committing sin no
matter where we turn; but of the
two evils, however, we are per-
mitted to choose the lesser, and take
it as an indictment justly imposed
upon nations who, transgressing the
laws of God, were of the opinion
that they could do so with impunity.
I find no adequate reason for COM
plant. If God condemns man to
suffer, it is for his own best, and be-
cause he shall come out of the fire
a finer character. Let's go through
the ordeal together hoping, that we
shall come out better nation, and a
better world in which all states, great
or small, shall have equality of right,
and access to all the resources, mater
ial and spiritual, on earth and in
heaven.

Enough for a starving world to eat.

And gamers not for himself alone;
But shares his yield,
In the bitterest want that the world
