lieve water shortage which has
affected about 500 families in Fair

their homes recently have been
without water for several hours
both mornings and evenings. They
said their complaints had been un-

lilies now living in the project were
affected. He said these live in the
higher sections of the development.

and shifts in main connections
would relieve the shortage. He said
no ban would be placed on sprin-
king lawns and gardens unless all
other efforts to remedy the situa-
ton failed.
The county water engineer said
the water distribution system with
in the project is capable of supply
ing the homes IF we can get the
water to it," He said the problem
was the result of war restrictions
and the hot weather. which has
brought an additional strain on the

Judge Duncan Reveals
Lawyers and Agencies
Will Assist Program

Alexandria servicemen's families
are soon to be offered personal
assistance and legal aid without
charge by the Juvenile and Domes-
tic Relations Court according to
plan announced yesterday by
Judge James r. Duncan.
Designed to assist the families
of enlisted men and junior officers
who are not in a position to pay
for legal advice, Judge Duncan's
plan will enlist the cooperation OF
Fort Belvoir officials, Capt. R. B
Simons of the Naval Torpedo Sta
ton, the local chapter of the Red
Cross, Post "a, American Legion
Russell Mitchell Post. Veterans OF
Foreign Wars, and the Veterans
Administration.
A preliminary meeting will be
held Tuesday night in Judge Dun
cans office with representative OF
the cooperating agencies. and it is
expected to result in the annuonce-
ment OF definite night each week
when Judge Duncan and the agency
representatives as we'll as certain OF
the city's lawyers, will be available
to offer assistance
While many of the problems will
require legal advice, such as those
dealing with matters of divorce
real estate holdings, and even traf-
flc and other police and civil court
matters, many will be referred tc
the Legion, VFW or Red. Cross
by the court, Judge Duncan said.
Help in obtaining allotments, ad-
vice on contracting men overseas
and dozens of other matters which
must be dealt with by servicemen's
families will be given during the
weekly sessions,
The plan is designed primarily
for the families of local men, but
help will be given to any service
mans dependent, even if it amounts
only to referring them to the proper
agency at Fort Beivoir or the Tor
pedo Station.
Several local attorneys have vol
unteered their assistance and the
agencies contacted have indicated
that the plan will prove valuable tc
them.
