District received discharges yester-
day, Col. Albright said he hoped his
special brand of service with a

parting memory of the Army. He
told how, when soldiers come in the
night before discharge, they receive
new, pressed clothing, meals, see
a movie, and after breakfast, are
processed quickly and efficiently
through final physical examina-
ton. After they receive their final
pay, averaging $500, they are deco
rated with medals due them, and
given their certificates as the Army
band plays. A bus waits to take
them to the city.
Maj. Kenneth Potter, overseas
veteran. in command of the point,
thanked the men for their service
to the Army at the afternoon cere-
monies.
AS they ran for the bus, the men
gave him special cheer. That's
the way we want them to go-cheer-
ing. I hope they like the little
things we. try to do for them," Col.
Albright commented.

Office Addition
For Fairfax 10
Cost 100000
Estimate Offered
By Richmond Firm;
Special Brick Ordered

The Fairfax County Board OF
Supervisors will proceed with plans
for the construction of an addition
on the west side of the present

johnson, Richmond architects, who
have prepared plans for the addi-
ton. An alternative plan to include
