RlcnarQ SnanQS, an attorney OF
Mclean, Va, yesterday became a
member of the Fairfax County
School Board with the backing OF
the substantial citizens of the court
house" and landowners, who ex-
pressed opposition to the kind of a
school system that would call for
doubling the tax rate.
Mr.. Shands was named to a four
year term by the County School
Trustee Electoral Board following a
public hearing at which representa-
tives of school groups urged the re-
appointment of w. Alvord Sherman
who has represented Providence dis
trict on the board for the last five
years.
Mr.. Stands hackers, who said they
represented county property owners
questioned the right of the school
groups present to speak for the ma
jority of those they claimed to rep
resent.
Douglas S. Mackall, Mclean real
estate man, described Mr.. Stands as
an able lawyer and man who has
contributed his time in the interest
of the Community Chest and Boy
Scout work in the county.
Asked by representatives of school
groups if Mr.. Stands had been ac-
tive in public school work, John c
Mackall, an attorney of Mclean and
a former member of the Virginia
General Assembly, said that he did
not know to what extent Mr.. Shands
had worked with the public schools
but that he had been active in Uni
versity of Virginia alumni affairs.
Courthouse Group Backs Stands.
Charles Pickett, George B. Robey
and Walter T. Oliver, jr., all attor-
neys OF Fairfax, and Richard Smith
Mclean publisher, also appeared ir
support of Mr.. Stands.
Mr.. Pickett said he was an "inac-
tive" member of the Parent Teacher
Association who questioned if the
PTAs always could speak for as
many people as they thought.
While these groups support Mr.
Sherman, Mr.. Pickett said, petition
in support of Mr.. Stands signed by
the substantial citizens Of the
courthouse" had been filed with the
electoral board.
In supporting Mr.. Shands, Mr..
Robey reminded the board that Mr..
Sherman six years ago had been
active in a move to reorganize the
county government, which, he said,
would have affected materially the
county school system.
Opposes Doubling Taxes.
Speaking as a "land owner" Mr..
John G. Mackall charged that he had
heard one PTA member advocate
doubling the tax rate to provide
adequate schools.
'If this is the kind of a school
system they want" he said, IT am
against it"
Referring to PTA Representa-
tives, Mr.. Robey> said he did not
know q single person present. He
was interrupted by Mrs. r. A. os-

He remembered Diana-and the
day he had come home to find her
gone. Dramatic as always, she had
even gone so far as to pin a note
upon the pillow. Forgive me, Phil"

longer. I'm leaving for Hollywood
You can divorce me if you wish. l
hope that some day you'll find a
woman who'll mean all things to
you and that you will also find the
happiness you deserve" He had felt
the same sense Of loneliness then
that he felt now-it had swept over
him like a great, engulfng wave as
he stood with the note in his hand.
Then he had slipped in to look
at DICK, chubby, rosy, asleep in his
CRIB, with ono small fist doubled up
upon the pillow. For Il moment he
had hated Diana-hated all women.
1t had seemed to him then that he
could never again love. And because
of that feeling, he had determined
to be all things that his o needed.
But that was before he had
walked into Miss Minerals office
and seen Helen Millcr's picture.
That was before he had gone up to
New York and met the original,
met her, and come to know that
she was the woman he wanted for
then, and for always.

"Okay!' said Philip. II accept

whose picture I fell in love with
and of the girl herself"

thoughts aren't worth Il penny"
"To me they are" said Philip. He
stopped the car.

"To heck with that,' said Philip.
He took her in his arms and kissed
her long and hard upon the lips.
