Alexandra Chest Officials
ExpIoin War Fund Quota Rise

With the special gifts committee
cf the Alexandria Home and War
Fund already canvassing and the
drive for $ll8,70l. So, to begin Sep
tember IS, chest ofncials yesterday
explained why the goal Is 20 much
higher than last year. d
This year Alexandra has pledged
$35, ,644 to the National War Fund
instead Of the 100000 last year.
and the local agencies allotments
amount to 81, 1928, compared to
SIS, ,S82s7 for 1914, exclusive Of Chest
administration, campaign expenses
and shrinkage.
Chest ofncials point to tremendous
growth In the agencies work dur
ing the year, and to changes in the
setup and administration Of several
Of the organizations.
A new agency, the Campfire
Girls has been, added, which, al
though receiving a small budget,
is a growing factor in character
building work.
Though the Alexandria Visiting
Nurse Service was included in the
budget last year, the agency only
started operation in January and
its increased budget is justified by
the fact that 1t has surpassed all
estimates OF the place it would fill
in the community, ofncials pointed
out.
Inadequate Building Abandoned.
The Alexandria Girls Club has
reorganized its board of directors,
abandoned an inadequate building,
and is now cooperating with the
city recreation department in su-
pervising teen-age activity.
Up to May, the Boy Scouts had
no professional leader. At that
time, Harry Switzer was engaged as
field director. He now has been

Maechtle Is full-time director. Mr..
Maechtle, who replaces part-time
director employed most Of last
year, Is stressing athletics, hand
craft. shop work and indoor physical
education.
Since last years drive Girl Scouts
membership has increased to over
500, requiring employment Of Mrs.
Frank Kaserman as assistant to the
director, Mrs. Frank Heileman.
Hospital Needs Greater.
The Alexandria Hospital addition
was completed during the year and
its increased facilities call for a
larger budget to carry the propor-
tionately increased charity load.
The Salvation Army, which was
without a director at the time of the
drive last year, has obtained the
services OF Capt. and Mrs. James
Triton, and their efforts already
have expanded facilities.
The Council of Social Agencies
also has had change in personnel.
With the resignation Of Mrs. Elsa
Butler Grove, executive secretary,
in June, the agency was left with
out director until the recent ap-
pointment of-AEiss Anne Monroe as
part-time executive until q new
director can be employed.
The Community Health Center,
the Family Service Society and
Hopkins House are functioning as
before, but the increased population
has created additional needs for the
services Of all agencies. Chest
officials are hopeful that increased
understanding of the need for. the
agencies will result in meeting the
quota.

Staples SaysChange
In STATE Law Would
Limit Use Of Funds
BY the Associated Press.

RICHMOND, Va, Sept. 16.-Ex-
penditure of excess moneys from
the State Literary Fund, under a
proposed constitutional amendment,
would be- limited solely to public
school purposes in the form of some
permanent fund, Attorney General
A. p. Staples ruled in an opinion
released today by Gov. Darden.
The General Assembly. the attor-
ney general held, would not be en-
powered to use any part of the prin-
cipal in excess of the proposed $10.-
100000 freezing" level for current
school operating expenses nor for
any other governmental operating
costs.
Gov. Darden requested the ruling
after he had concluded that the
language Of the proposed amend
ment was ambiguous. The amend
ment will be submitted to the vote
of the people at the November z
general election.
IT. slneadment provides "that
WHEN and 20 long as the principal
of the literary fund amounts to as
muth as SO 900 900. the General
Assembly may set aside all or any
pah ~ moneys thereafter received
into the principal of said fund for
public school purposes including
teachers retirement fund to be held
and administered in such manner as
may be provided by general law"
The Literary Fund. which dates
back to 1910, amounts now to ap-
proximately $12,000O 900. OF this,
about $6,750,000 Is outstanding in
loans to localities for school build
ing purposes, while the remainder
Is invested in securities.
In his opinion. the attorney gen.
eral held that "since the language
of the proposed amendment clearly
contemplates that the General As
sembly may set aside excess moneys,
and that same shall be held and ad-
minister in such manner as may be
PROVIDED by law, IN my opinion. II
is not contemplated that such excess
principal funds may be used for cur
rent school operating expenses.
"The Legislature, the opinion
added, would be thereby authorized,
in my opinion, to use said excess
principal only to establish or con-
tribute to some permanent fund,
such as the teachers retirement
fund, and the object of any such
fund must be restricted solely to
public school purposes"
The Literary Fund has been de-
scribed as the Magma Charta" Of
public education in Virginia. Since
1906 loans have been made from
the principal of the fund for con-
struction of school buildings.
