The basketball season is here.
Mr. Wagner had his boys in for
their first workout Monday night.
Now if Mr. Wagner can persuade
his boys to go to bed instead of
hauling corn fodder, we may have
a first rate team this year.
Corn fodder reminds us of Hal
lowe'en and the grades certainly
have done justice to that festival
this year. They have their rooms
decorated with pumpkins, witches,
and black cats. They had masqu-
crate parties on Wednesday, too,
with lot Of fun for everyone. The
pop corn, cider, and apples GER
tianly smelled good.
Everyone can relax now. The six
weeks tests are over. Grade cards
came out Wednesday,.
The F. II. A. went to West Lib
erty, Saturday, for the regional
meeting. Besides having lots of fun,
we did learn about the organiZa-
ton, and feel like full-pledged
members now.
Many thanks to all who helped
make our carnival a success. AL
though we may have been a little
tired Saturday morning, we felt
we had accomplished something
besides having a good time.

Magruder Asks Better
Child Health Law

j. Maynard Magruder, Airing
ton Democratic candidate for re-
election to the House of Delegates,
last night told members of the Park
way Citizens Association that he is
a strong advocate of a complete
health plan for the schools of
Virginia"
He said the West law of 1920
provides that pupils shall receive
such examination as shall be pre-
scribed," and that this is inter-
preted in most sections of the State
to mean merely a health inspection
He said he advocates complete
physical examination of every child
entering school, This program, he
said, would call for revision of
the existing law.
In addition, he said, he favors
a program founded on sound edu-
cational principles with adequate
facilities to get results. Such q
program, he said, should include
university and college public health
courses, approved by the depart
ments of health and education;
public health summer courses fol
teachers and the creation of a sepa-
rate school health bureau in the
Department of Health.
Mr.. Magruder also advocated the
follow-up and correction of chill
dren's physical defects at private
expense when possible, but at public
expense If necessary.

The Alexandria City Council last
night set an annual salary of So 400
for the new judge of the Juvenile
and Domestic Relations Court, who
will be elected November 6 to take
office January /. The Juvenile We'll
fare Committee had recommended
a salary of $1,000.
r.. Samuel Luckett, chairman of
the Juvenile Welfare Committee.
told the Council his group had asked
to meet with the Council committee
studying the salary question, but no
such meeting had been arranged.
He pointed out that the probation
officer who will work under the
judge receives 50 500, and the State
code prpyiGes for d $4,000 salary for
cities df 100000 sors more. Since
Alexandria's population Is. well over
$4,000, the committee felt the salary
should be at least half that set by
the code. ~
O Amendment Loses.
Councilman George K. Bender
moved that the committees report
be amended to set the salary at
So 1000, but the motion was lost by
4-to-3 vote.

and chairman of the Alexandria
Housing Authority, presented two
checks aggregating s39 ,9o2.27, repre-
senting payments on housing

ported that the authority has paid
the city a total of $117.S34.s1 since
it has operaetd the war housing and
slum clearance propects built by the
Federal Government in Alexandria.
Want Club for Veterans.
The council received, and referred
to City Manager Carl Budwesky for
investigation, a communication
from the Sixth Ward Citizens Asso-
citation pointing out that the more
than 1,500 discharged veterans are
denied facilities of the USO and are
in need of recreation. The civic
groups asked that the city consider
making the armory available for
athletic events, and also take action
to obtain the ;USO building at
Cameron street for such purposes
when it is no longer used as a serv-
ice club.
| The City Building Inspector and
the City Attorney were instructed
to draw up an amendment to the
building code to provide for con-
struction of new types of buildings
not covered by the code. The ac-
ton followed the request of John
Mcpherson for a waiver to permit
construction of steel and brick
warehouse on U. S. Highway l for
use by the Carrier Air Conditioning
Co., the Strand Steel Division of the
Great Lakes Steel Corp, and the
War Department for storage of food
supplies for the Pentagon Building
restaurant. The building is to be
constructed by the Strand Steel Di-
vision according to designs recently
used by the Bureau of Standards
and other Government agencies, but
not covered by the city code.
The Council approved the follow
ing appropriations: $3.50 to make
surveys of Taylors Run and Timber
branch for development as park
ways; $57 500 to construct No.
Fire House, and $11, Ills to cover cost
of grading and pavement work on
