Your 2l5;3;A2 Chance

Crossing this threshold was
the beginning of the road
back for Sally and her family.
She and Eddie were married
at the age of 16. Eddie's
mother always resented the
the marriage. When a second
baby came and Eddie lost his
job, it wasn't hard for his
mother to persuade him to
come back home.
Sally kept the children at
her parents home. But in
the midst of one of her
fathers drunken TRADES, she
had to take the children and
leave. She wandered to the
park fronting the General
Accounting Office. Covering
the babies with her coat, she
sat on a bench and pondered.
Finally, she slept.
When she awoke, the sun
was shining on an emblem
she. recognized across the
street. She gathered up the
children and mounted the
steps beside the red shield of
the Salvation Army emer-
gency home.
There were baths, break
fast, a long rest. for all three.
And later a social worker to
whom Sally could pour out
her troubles. Sally still loved
Eddie. The social worker con-
tacted him; reminded him of
his responsibilities his FAM
lily. Finally, Eddie came back.
Four years passed, but Eddie
had begun to drink heavily.
He walked out again. A Sec
ond time, the Salvation Army
worker brought the husband
and wife together. There was
another reconciliation. 1t was
while he was overseas during
the war that Eddie really
began to realize how hard he
had made things.
Today, Sally and Eddie and
their. children are a happy
family. They are members of
the Salvation Army Corps.
Their children are in the
corps youth organizations. A
new baby will be christened
soon.
The Community Chest,
through your contributions,
made it possible for Sally to
find a haven under the red
shield, and start the road back
to happiness. The Community
Chest Is your once-a-year

|5Candidatesf Board
Pledge Regular Visits
To Arlington Schools

Ihe nVe Arlington county SchoOl
Board candidates selected by nom
mating convention of 81 county
civic groups pledged themselves yes
terday to make systematic visits to
the county's schools if they are
elected November 4.
The pledge was made at the con-
clusion of a tour of five schools yes
terday. The candidates will COM
plete their visits to county schools
next Saturday with a tour ending
at Washington-Lee High School.
Asserting that no school board
has made tour of Arlington Coun-
ty schools in Is years, the five can
didates promised that, if elected
they would make systematic visits
to all 81 schools in Arlington each
spring so that needed improvements
can be made during the summer
months.
Comments on Schools.
The five candidates are Mrs. Eliz-
abeth P. Campbell, Bernard Joy
Colin Macpherson, o. Glenn Stahl
and Curtis E. Tuthill. The five
schools they visited yesterday and
a summary of their comments fol-
low:
Kate Waller Barrett-Too crowd
ed despite six new classrooms. AL
though the new classroom space
was added, no additional washroom
facilities we're provided to take care
of the increased enrolment. Two
teachers have to use card tables for
desks. No library, no lunchroom
and facilities for hot lunches.
Bancroft - Additions have been
built housing an auditorium. a clinic
and indoor play space. which seem
adequate at present, but prospects
are that space will become made
quate soon because the school popu-
lation is increasing in that area.
School Already too Small.
Kemper-Although this is new
school, facilities already have be-
come inadequate. and teachers have
had to resort to use of the old build
| Ing Tor some classes. playground
facilities are very poor.
| Patrick Henry-Most disturbing
element here was inequality in the
teacher load One teacher has Al
pupils in the morning and 80 in the
afternoon while two other teachers
have only II pupils each. This is a
result of the half day arrangement
and outmoded trimester system in
use in Arlington schools, the candi-
dates contend. Even though this is
the second largest elementary school
in the county it does not have facil-
tiles found in some smaller schools
such as library or teachers room
1t was feared that the items stored
in the basement of this school fol
use in all the schools might create
a fire hazard. Large drums of wax
are among the items stored, the
candidates reported.
Thomas Jefferson Junior High
Built for an enrolment of 600 OF
less, but now it has more than 70(
pupils. 1t is modern plant with
modern facilities, however, and is
we'll utilized by the principal and q
teachers.

On the Other Hand
New Election Bill Might Be Designed
To Put Labor Further Out Of Politics

out of the primaries they render
them almost irnpotent politically.
In the 1914 campaign much OF the
CLOS effective political work was
done In the primaries. In the South,
OF course, only the primaries have
any Importance. But even In the
North the. big job OF getting the
labor vote organized, registered and
instructed in campaign work was
done chiefly in the primaries.
On the face of It, prohibition Of
contributions by corporations, as
well as labor organizations, would
appear to be equal justice. This
would seem especially true, since
no limit Is put on the amount In
dividuals may give. II q president
or vice president Or simple stock
holder In q corporation wished to
give 5000, $4,000 or 100000 he
could do 50. The same would ap-
ply to the president, vice president
or individual member Of q union
with one slight difference. He
wouldn't have the 5000, 10000 or
$10o, 600.
Their Own Money.
II you have been reading the
reports on corporation salaries, ap-
pearing from time to time in the
papers. you have noted In the case
OF some corporations that as many
as q dozen oficials drew pay OF
$40 ON Or nnnre-snnna ~ thar,
much more. Men In that income
bracket usually have stock inter-
est in addition to their salaries.
So, under the law, those corpora
ton men who have most at stake
can contribute q total as great as
the corporation itself would be
likely to. All the law really does
is to require them to spend their
own money instead Of that Of the
widows and orphans who may also
own stock in.the, corporation. =
It has been that way Under the,
present law, with 5000 linaita-
tforf. To evades the purpose Of the
law, the Du Points, Pews and other
such civic-ninded families have
had to scatter 5000 checks about
through the States. Now there will
be no need for evasion and they
can make their checks as big as
their generous hearts. Now, that
Is, II Senators Ellender. Johnson,
Maybank. Hickeillooper and Bridges
get theirsbill through Congress.
