At Lobor Meeting

Endorsement of national repre-

position to proposed annexation of
Arlington County and a portion of
Alexandria by Washington, was
voiced last night by Harrie Byrd
Conlin, Republican candidate for
Congress from Virginia's 9th dis

Speaking informally at a meeting
of labor unions at Alexandria S
Labor Temple, Mr.. Conlin expressed
the hope that no Virginia territory
would be returned to the District,
but said that granting the vote to
Washington would prevent dis
enfranchisement of Virginia voters
in the event the annexation plan
of Senator McCarran, Democrat, of
Nevada, or similar program were
approved.
The Republican candidate also
expressed opposition to the poll tax
as a prerequisite to voting.

supplemental report with Judge
Ridgely P. Melvin Of the Anne Arun-

Signed by John Baldwin Rich,

while the rules of the County Board
of Liquor License Commissioners
"are being fairly well enforced,
there Is q tendency on the part of

questionable character to continue
to dispense liquor under the cloak
Of corporation"
In regard to the Annapolis
charges. the report said, that "there
was evident to this grand Jury no
desire on the part 81 the Mayor,
counselor and Aldermen Of the
city to require strict ad-
herehce to its own rules and
these rules have been 90 loosely

yesterday there is no violation of
law involved in operating q motor

Consolidation Of 13
Prince Georges Towns
Urged by Duckett
Tells Women Voters
PIon Would Cut Costs
And Reduce Confusion

Consolidation of the 13 incorpo-
rated towns in Prince Georges Coun-
ty, Md, would coordinate municipal
functions, reduce expenses and
eliminate confusion" T. Howard
Duckett yesterday told the County
League of Women Voters at the Col
lege Park Elementary School.
Mr.. Duckett, who is land purchas-
ing agent for the Maryland National
Capital Park and Planning Commits
sion, also stressed the desirability of
going ahead" with the floating by
the county commissioners of a $780,
600 bond issue for public improve
ments in the metropolitan area of
the county,
Cites Arlington System.
Declaring that there is now little
OF no coordination among the in
corporated towns in the county ad-
jacent to Washington, Mr.. Duckett
advocated placing them under gen.
eral metropolitan government to be
administered along the lines of
either Arlington or Montgomery
County.
The area to be included in the pro-
posed setup would extend as far as
Beltsville and would include Hyatts-
vile, Riverdale, Capitol Heights,
Cheverly. Seat Pleasant, Edmonston,
College Park, Bladensburg, Bradley
Heights, Boulevard Heights, Dupont
Heights, Mount Rainier and Brent
wood.
He predicted that a bill looking
toward ultimate consolidation of the
area would be introduced at the
coming session of the State Legis-
lature.
City Manager Possibility.
The next step. he added, would be
to elect members of the Board of
County Commissioners from the
various election districts so they
could devote all their time to looking
after their own particular area. as
is the case in Montgomery County,
or to elect city manager for the
consolidated area, as in Arlington
County, .-
The $500 900 bond issue was ap-
proved by the county commissioners
in July. 1t is the balance of 100000
worth of bonds which, the Legisla-
ture authorized the commissioners
to issue during 194l and 1912.
In approving the bond issue. Will
liam A. Carson, board chairman,
said that actual construction work
would not begin until after the war.
The Advisory Board to the COM
missioners also has urged immediate
action, pointing out that floating of
the bond issue would create public
works program that would aid in
postwar adjustment

Woodrow Wilson High School,
nothing has been so popular in years
as the new expanded physical fitness
program.
An increase from two to five pc
riods a week of physical education
went in effect in all Washington high
schools this year to prepare students
to do their best in the war effort
Yesterday the students at Wilson
told The Star how they liked the
program at their school.
Il like the classes better with so
many more girls in them," said
pretty Cordella Foresman, IS. as
she bounced a basket ball against
the gymnasium wall.
I'm sure I'm going to be able to
do both the cadets and the physical
fitness program at once" said
George Cooper, Is. Cadets used to
be excused from physical education
but now have to take it along with
non-cadets.
Il like studying nutrition" said
Martin Wolfe, Is. Its interest
ing"
Enthusiasm Buoys Teachers.
The program still has mass of
details to be ironed out, according
TO Miss Belle Myers, physical edu-
cation director for girls at Wilson,
but the enthusiasm of the stu
dents has been a boost for the
teachers. For girls especially, she
said, the task of reorganizing the
course has been tremendous. The
girls had little calisthenics before.
Those who we're seriously interested
in physical education took that as
their major subject and we're never
included in the routine classes.
Now every girl in the school takes
three periods of physical activity
week instead of two and in addi-
tion has two periods of lectures.
The number of medical excuses sub
mitted has dropped sharply Miss
Myers said, because of the new in
terest the students are taking in the
full course.
Doctors can no longer excuse a
student outright from physical ed
ucation but must instead stipulate
what he can do. The list grades
down in activity to complete rest"
No one so far at Wilson has ap-
piled for permission to lie down dur
ing the activity period
According to Carl Heintel. director
for Wilson boys, his reorganization
was not so sweeping. The boys have
always had certain amount of
calisthenics and are used to working
in larger groups than the girls.
More Glasses for Boys.
The numbers of the classes for
boys have greatly increased, Mr..
Heintel said, because of the new
regulation that cadets have to take
physical education, too. The school
store ran out of running pants, he
said, and many of the students new
to the course have to wait for ship
ments of uniforms.
The program in all of the high
schools has meant hiring of many
new physical education teachers. At
Wilson the new woman teacher is
Mrs. Mary c. Spangler who teaches
home nursing to the girls and nutri-
ton to both the boys and girls.
This nutrition course is going to
make difference in what I order

my mother a hint or two, too"

SOME INTERESTING HISTORY

Ding-dong, ding-dong. A bell is

tones of the Lightner's school bell
which now rings only in the mem
ory of those who loved it, Barak
Russell rings this bell. It's a din
ner bell that has been in his fam
lily for many years He rings the
bell each day at HAS a. m. Mr.
Russell is a descendant of the early
settlers of this community and is
familiar with much of it's early his
tory. To him belongs much of the
credit for information about the
history of this locality.
Lightner ridge is typical of many
other rural communities. Quiet and
inactive like an exhausted beehive
after giving forth numerous swarms,
these communities are merely a
hangover from horse-and-buggy
days. They are as remote from
present day activities as from the
airplanes which occasionally pass
overhead. Yet, how vital those
rural homes to our national secur-
ity and morale! Each rural home
is miniature food factory for the
production and processing of foods.
Such homes are the very nucleus of
our civilization.
