Iwhi CHI this Project was started. I
believe that this was for the pur-
pose Of providing homes for worthy
individuals ane that no special type
Iof Individual was specified, except
that the diversified farmer was the
type outlined in the beg inning and
1.-THE writer still thinks that this
type Of farmer will be the most sue
lcessful In the long run.
Enother gu est ton that will face the
new Board Of Director IS in regard
Ito new Manc ger, since the present
Manager has announced that he Will
lloavc In the near future it will be
necessary to secure the services Of
lonother to teke his place.
Some members think that local man
SHOULD be selected, one who under
lstan6s the situati on ane who knows
the people IN this vicinity. others
think that an OUTSIDE man should be
secured, one who has no meet ons
with any local group, and who would
[be impartial to oil members In bus

While others think that the Board
SHOULD handle this matter without
help from the Members. However, it
seems to the writer, that this is
lques tt on that the members could be
Iof help In, in arriving at q de-
lcisi on.
Eve also near some discussion IN re.
Eerd to the Garage since IL has been
Ia source Of worry for some time.
Some think that it shoulo be leased
Iout like the Hospital, ond others
that it should be partly closed, the
fon~paying units, at lease.
The writer feels that the Garage is
TOO large for the bus mess that is
hvai liable, ano it was believed to be
SO, before the Cooperative took it
over. When the clearing pros ram was
discontinued, for viii oh the building
Iwas built an6 EQUIPPED primarily, the
overhead and adIni strative costs be
ccnc too high for the unit to carry,
Fhe employees Of the Garage have
tried very hard to overcome this
load but unless 1t shows a much bet
ter business picture this year, it
WI IL not be profitable to the Assoc
fiation In terms Of profit by these
Pperati ons.

Newcomers Find frontier Days
At FoirIinqton and Porkfoirfox

Newcomers in Washingtons two
great suburban housing develop
mentS at darlington and Parkfair-
fax are sure they are learning
something of what frontier days
were like.
Moving vans roll up at almost
every hour from all parts of the
country. They disgorge packing
cases which reveal origins as far
distant AS Japan Owners appear
to supervise operations and families,
furniture and clouds of dust enter
the newly openend house together
Older residents, and those of more
than two weeks standing can quail
fly here, look on benignly. The grass
is beginning to grow around the
houses now, but residents are un-
decided whether to open the VIM
COWS and let in the dust or keep
them closed and hoard fresh paint
fumes
Bus Drivers PerpleXed.
Changing bus schedules and
routes add their share of confusion
The other day perpleXed bus
driver, uncertain of his destination,
leaned out the window of his ma
chine in Harrington and hailed
another employe of the bus COM
pany.
Say. does this bus go to the
Pentagon?" he asked as his pas
sengers guffawed He was assured
that it did if he could get it there.
In the new northern section Of
darlington those who already have
moved in are living in almost soil
tarv splendOr. In one block where
all the 81 buildings have been COM
pleted occupants are slow to ap-
pear. At night only few scattered
lights gleam amid scattered empty
buildings, now standing ghostlike
in the moonlight. but which soon
will house upwards of $50 families.
Problems Bulletined.
The bulletin board in the Fair
lin2ton administration building dis
plays the problems which perpleX
the newcomers. Here appear the
names and addresses of three
women who would very much like
to secure a fourth for bridge. CUB
scouts. lessons in French. girls to
stay with children and women to
wash windows are among the
wanted items.
There are darlington residents,
too, who would like to purchase
such articles as washing machines,
tricycles, playpens. vacuum cleaners,
refrigerators. strollers, lounge or
easy chairs" not to mention va
rious other items of furniture.
For reasons not given, another

darlington resident, possibly re-
formed, CT possibly overseas, is pre-
pared to sell "one $3.50 gaming
table" for mere SIS and a $75
electric race horse game for S25.
Offered also by the same party is
a s75 portable rowing exerciser for
$25.
Awaiting the ready money also
is pair of BLACK suede peacock
pumps, size 5AA" described as ''prac-
tically new" and for which, it is
pointed out, no ration stamp is
required.
Lost articles cover wide range
from "one galosh' to a Spanish
grammar. Missing also is gold
wrist watch while owners report
that an angora cat and fox ter
rier have left in search of other
surroundings. Tending to balance
off the animal account, another
darlington resident reports via the
bulletin board that he is holding
an Irish setter for its owner.
New residents find that help often
comes from totally unexpected di-
rections. One newcomer took time
by the forelock and notified an
Alexandria laundry of her need for
service week before moving in to
darlington. A pickup was promised
the following Monday but no driver
appeared. More phone calls were
made and each time she was as
Sured the truck would arrive with
banners flying.
Finally one day a driver for a
laundry 7 or 8 miles away
in Northeast Washington casually
stopped by to see if he could pick up
her dirty clothes With four weeks
supply on hand there was no doubt
about the answer
Vie for Customers.

shortages, statesmen from competing

counts. They wait outside the rental
office door to catch the prospects as
they appear. Butter, bread and milk
were brought to one door a half an

peared.
When fully completed, both the
developments will be cities in them
selves. Fairlington is being designed
to house $500 families while Park

1885 families. Some 800 families
already are living at Parkfairfax

was never intended to be a one
way affair" and itemized many
things which it said Britain has
given America without payment"
Between June, 1912, and April.
l943, the United Kingdom provided
to American forces 1,362,68l ship
tons of articles and equipment and
lit, 1884 ship-tons of constructive
materials" the article declared on
the basis of figures it said had been
compiled by British and American
sources.
The contribution hsv ranged
from barbed wire to cooking stoves,
from bombs to locomotives, from
nissen huts to parachutes, from
Spitfres to lemon squash, from ar
tillery to socks
The Daily Mail concluded this
phase of its review with the remark
that it was realized all the time
that 1T was not love of Britain, but
the stark realization of the possibil-
ity of total war engulfing the
United States that promoted pas
sage Of the Lease-Lend Act"
The article then went on to say
Britain not only is repaying and
will continue to repay America, but
is doing her bit of lease lending.
Britain has sent on a mutual aid
basis as many tanks and airplanes
to Russia AS have gone from the
United States, and we have sent to
the U. S. S. R. about one-quarter
OF the amount of other supplies that
America has shipped" it said.
The comments OF the American
Senators aroused the London press
as have few other issues since the
outbreak of the war. and brought
from Sunday Dispatch Columnist
Dorothy Crisp this remark:
within living memory, her
(America's) foreign policy has been
a series Of excursions in opportun-
ism, bent not on the creation of a
sounder future, but on taking pres
ert line of least resistance and ap-
parent material gain"
The Sunday Grapnlc's Now York
correspondent cabled that while the
five Senators were not bitter and
emphatically not advocating a re-
turn to isolationisln,' their ccm-
merts had handed ammunition to
the lsolaticnists on platter"
