FAIRFAX, Va, July 23.-Alterna-
tive measures to avoid putting up
a temporary school building in Falls
Church were considered by the
Fairfax County School Board yes
terday.
While both Madison Elementary
and Jefferson High were over
crowded last session, board men,
pers are hopeful that sufficient out
side space may be found to save
the expense of constructing a tenn
porary school. Should q building
be needed. it would be located on
the new high school site recently
purchased.
Meanwhile, school officials de-
cided to 60 ahead with plans for
the new high school building for
the town, although it is probable
it cannot be erected until after the
war.
Federal funds that school officials
were expecting may not be. forth
coming, it was said, with The result
the plant may have to wait until
a literary fund loan can be Sc
cured.
The board approved a bonus
clause in contracts with bus drivers
by which drivers who are not In
volved in accidents and who have
the best all-around records win be
given an additional $25 at the close
Of the session..
In a letter from G. c. Baggett,
school officials were offered the use
Of any railroad stations owned by
the Washington & Old Dominion
Railroad should the proposal to use
school buses for passenger service
be put into operation next session.
School officials have discussed with
representatives Of the Arnold Line
the possibility that school buses
might bring passengers to regularly
established bus lines. Whatever ar
rangement might be worked would
not interfere with the hauling OF
school children.
Division Supt. w. T. Woodson
announced a need for general shop
teachers at Mount Vernon, Fairfax
and Herndon High Schools for the
coming session.
The board voted to secure plans
for three temporary classrooms at
Groveton and two at Franconia

additional classrooms must be made
available by the time schools reopen
in September.
Approval was also given for the
purchase of three acres of land for

In addition each protective group

While the uniform is attractive, 1t
isn't dress" affair. lit is q very
practical garment for all units from
AFRAID wardens to road repair
crews, made of tough denim. rea-
sonable in price, easily washed and
distinctive enough to show without
question the authority of the wearer
as a part of the civilian defense.

sive CT shoes and hats, will be 1895.

RossIyn Terminal
Is Discriminatory

Opposition" to the so-called Van
Duzer plan which would stop Wash

Coach Co buses from entering the
District at Rosslyn, was formally
presented by Arlington County
officials at a conference yesterday
with Guy A. Richardson, director of
the division of local transportation
of the Office of Defense Transporta-
ton.
Attending the session at Mr..
Richardson's Office were Edmund D.
Campbell, County Board chairman;
Frank G. Hanrahan, county man.
ager; Frank l.. Dieter, county plan
ming engineer; Milton E. Diehl,
Northern Virginia ODT transporta-
ton co-ordinator and acting chair
man of the County Public Utilities
Commission, and J. Maynard Ma
gruder, another member of the
utilities commission.
The Arlington Chamber of Com
merce was represented by Howard
B. Bloomer, jr., and E. l.. Usilton.
ODJeClS 10 DlSCIlLulUdLlOn.
Mr.. Campbell said Arlington is
willing to make any necessary sac
riflce to conserve tires, fuel and
transportation equipment, but that
it did not want to be singled out by
discriminatory tactics. He. said
Arlington residents resented the fact
that the county was not consulted
in the preparation Of the report by
District Traffic Director William A..
Van Duzer on a plan which would
affect an estimated $4,000 Virginia
passengers daily.
A system which would require pas
sengers to transfer to Capital Tran
sit Co. streetcars at Rosslyn plaza
is analogous to requiring all bus
passengers from Chevy Chase to
transfer to streetcars at Eighteenth
street and Columbia road NV, Mr..
Campbell asserted.
Mr.. Dieter said figures would be
obtained which would show the Cap
ital Transit Co. is unable to carry
the extra passengers thrown on the
system under the plan.
Sees Saving of Material.
Mr.. Magruder said that critical
materials would be saved If Virginia
bus lines were allowed to continue
trips to downtown Washington and
also allowed to carry passengers be-
tween the Arlington War Depart
ment building and Washington dur
ing rush hours. The Capital Tran
sit Co. now maintains shuttle bus
service for War Department pas
sengers.
Mr.. Usilton charged the Van Duser
report was an effort to benefit the
Capital Transit Co. at the expense,
of other transit firms and COM
muters.
Mr.. Richardson said ODT will act
soon If the Jurisdictions involved
cannot reach some equitable plan to
conserve fuel and equipment.

Lynn Says:

The cherry family is one with,
many branches. In addition to-
the red, tart pitted cherries which
are abundant in the summer and
which can easily be put up well
in cans, there are two other types
of cherries worthy of mention. {
The first of these is a white
type cherry commonly called
Queen Anne. This lends itself
we'll to salads and adds distinc-
tive flavor especially when used
in combination with other fruits
such as pineapple, oranges,
grapefruit and bananas. A little
bit of the Queen Anne CHEEKY goes
a long way.
The other type, called Bing
cherries, are deep, dark red, and
quite sweet. For that reason they
are at home in desserts. They
can be made into sauces and
served over ice creams and pud2
dings. IT.
