Court Deputy Clerk Quits
Arlington Rationinq Post

H. Bruce Green. deputy clerk
of the Circuit Court of Arlington
County, has resigned from the
County Rationing Board, it was re-
vealed yesterday.
Mr.. Green stated that pressure of
work in connection with re-indeX-
ing land records would not permit
him to devote sufficient time to the
boards work.
The re-indexing, which began last
fall, involves photostating all the
land record books in the county
court house and preparing punch
index c4rds for them. Because law
yers must have access to the books
during the day, the re-indexing
work is being done at night.
Mr. Green estimated that the
minimum time required to complete
the work would be four months.

Fairfax Board Puts
Teachers Salaries on
12-Month Basis
Officials Still Weighing
Possible Sites for New
Falls Church High School
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Gpttldl OlSpdllIt 10 iie StdI
FAIRFAX, Va, April 8.-Payment
of teachers on a 12-month basis in
stead of the present l0-month basis,
effective at the beginning of the
next, session, was approved by the
Fairfax County School Board yes
terday. -
Action in dividing salaries over
the entire year was taken. after a
committee composed Of j. H. Rice,
principal of Herndon School, and
Mrs. ]. N. Howdershen. principal of
Fairfax Elementary School, had
recommended the new method,
1t was announced the Federal
Government may take title to any
school plants constructed with funds
granted under the Lanham Act and
then in turn lease the schools to
the County School Board for a
nominal figure.
Division Supt. w. T. Woodson
stated this method of handling con-
struction work would remove posi-
bility of the county encountering
labor difficulties, since the building
would be handled under Govern
ment supervision.
A grant of s168,750 was recently
made to the county, and this will
be used for the construction of a
16-room high school in the vicinity
of Falls Church, and additional
classrooms at Groveton and Wood
lawn schools. School officials are
still considering several possible
sites for the Falls Church School.
Supt Woodson reported he has
been advised by State officials the
county will receive approximately
s9,952 from the State to supplement
its school bus transportation cost,
as result of the bill passed by the
General Assembly this year. This
sum is slightly less than one-quarter
of the annual cost of bus trans
portation.

Prince Georges Gets Rating
For -Four New Schools

The Prince Georges County Board
of Education yesterday received a
project rating of AS from the War
Production Board for the four new
school buildings and three additions
to existing buildings now under con-
struction in the county.
School officials said they were
dubious as to the value of such a
rating in view of the large number
of materials to which priority is not
granted.
Among the materials whose use
was not authorized were structural
steel, metal window frames and
toilet partitions, cast iron wall ven-
tilators and many electrical ap-
pliances.
Officials withheld further comment
on the rating pending more de-
tailed analysis of its probable
effects on the building program.

Before going to employment office
the business agents gave the follow
ing statements to THE UNION TIMES ::
