Denton WeIch Fischer; S2.5O.l

In March, 1945, this young Eng
klish authors autobiographical
novel, Maiden Voyage" was
published here, and this second
work, also fiction, also is based on
similar family relations: a moth

back to England from China only
once in every three years, two
older brothers of whom the boy
hates one.
In the first novel the hero was
named Welch, but in the second
he has become "Orvil Pym.' Or

Very little happens beyond

heavily embroidered with meta

Snow, Holidays Delay
County Trash Collections

Arlington County trash and refuse
collection schedules are running
week to two weeks late, it was re-
ported today by R. M. Writ, county
sewer department head.
Residents, with unusually large
holiday accumulations, have been
deluging the courthouse switchboard
with calls, he said.
The lag resulted when collection
trucks were unable to operate for
three days during the recent heavy
snow fall, combined with a double
holiday for employees on Christmas
and Christmas eve.
Plans to improve the service, he
continued, involve the need for ad-
ditional supervision of the workers.
Meanwhile, citizens could improve
service by obtaining more adequate
containers, he said, adding that al
though it is still difficult to get
metal cans, it is planned to have
an inspector make personal calls
where receptacles obviously are
unfit.

Montgomery Warns
Residents Of Tax

A new Montgomery County law
requires every person owning tan
gible personal property to file a
return annually during January
instead of once every five years, the
county assessment Office announced.
Forms, which are obtainable at
the Rockville Courthouse or the
County Buildings in Bethesda or
Silver Spring, must be filled in and
returned by January 81 to avoid
risk of fine of $500.
Those who have filed in the past
should make their return in the
same manner as before, Supervisor
of Assessments Wilton T. Allen
announced. He said there was an
exemption of $500 on household
furniture of schedule "a" and $500
on farming implements of schedule
"B," but that these deductions
would @be made by the Board oi
Assessment only and not by the in
dividual. He added that wearing
apparel and jeWelry habitually
worn need not be listed on the
schedule.
Mr.. Allen said it was hoped the
new law would be fair to every one
as heretofore some people hac
moved ie and out of the county
between reassessment periods ano
were never required to file and pay
an equitable tax.
The assessment Office cautioned
that the returns should be on the
present-day value and not the orig.
inal cost of the property.

its kind in the Washington area,
was based on lack of janitor service,

general maintenance of buildings
and grounds, according to the rent
control director.

6O% Of Virginia Men
Back From Services
Have No Job Plans
BY the Associated Press.

D
RICHMOND, Va. Jan. 3.-Report-
ing that an estimated go per cent Of
returning veterans have no immedi-
ate plans for employment, Col. Joel
D., Griffing, State selective service
director. yesterday urged the closest
possible cooperation Of local gov
ernments and business organizations
in developing job opportunities for
ex-servicemen.
The appeal was contained in let
ters sent to Mayors, chairmen Of
Boards of Supervisors, and heads of
local business organizations.
A total of 147.464 Virginians has
been released from military service
and on the basis of the expressed
plans and wishes revealed in sample
reports from local boards, many
thousands have no immediate plans
for work and asked no assistance in
obtaining employment.
Is Per Cent Go Back to Old Jobs.
Col. Griffing pointed out that the
prime objective of the Virginia vet
erans' assistance and postwar en-
ployment program, formulated by
the Virginia State Planning Board
and the selective service system at
the direction of the Governor In
1914, was the employment of veter-
ans in civilian work as rapidly as
civilian activities can absorb them
and as promptly as they desire tt
resume their work, trades or profeS.
sions.
A recent sample study of veterans
plans, as reported to their local
boards, showed that l3 per cent hao
returned to their old jobs, 10 pei
cent sought information regarding
educational and other benefits un-
der the CT bill, 6 per cent sought
new employment, per cent were
self-employed and go per cent hac
no immediate plans and requested
no assistance.
Ready to Go Back In Spring.
1.-THE go per cent who asked nj
assistance command our attention
at once" Col. Griffng said. THE!
are the men to whom thought mus
be given in an attempt to measure
our future problems by present con
ditions. They provide the basi
for our belief that it would be {
serious mistake to assume that ou
postwar employment problems ar
solving themselves, concurrent.
. and apace with rehabilitation"
i The danger, he added, is not il
the natural inclination of service
men to take rest and look arount
before re-entering civilian employ
ment, but in the possibility tina
we; might overlook its true signifi
lcance and be misled into relaxing
our efforts to explore and develoI
every possible job opportunit
against the day when these men an,
/. women will be ready to resume worl
in the early spring"
