720 in Groveton Sian
Petition for Closing Of
Beacon Field Airport

More than TOO Groveton (Va.) res
idents. including a large number OF
Parent Teacher Association mem
bers, want the Beacon Field Airport
abolished.
This was disclosed yesterday after
a petition with 720 signatures was
presented the Fairfax County Boaro
outlining the residents objections
to the airport, located on United
States route /, miles south OF
Alexandria.
A spokesman for the Groveton
School Parent Teacher Association
pointed out that, while the petition
did not specifically ask that the air.
port be closed now, it put their OBJ
jections on record in the event that
any renewal of a permit is requested
by operators of the airport.
The petitioners, who included the
principal and teachers of the Grove
ton Elementary School. pointed out
the airport has "in progress at this
time the training of student pilots.
Children Distracted.
1--WE believe that the airport
located on its present site has a very
detrimental effect upon the ability
of the public school teachers to
maintain the interest of the chill
dren in trying to teach them." the
petition stated.
The airport has planes taking
off continuously in front and over
the school and places the life of
every school child in jeopardy should
one of the planes fall upon the
school in taking off or landing
the petition continued.
THE noise created" it said, "has
a tendency to attract the attention
of the children, thereby taking their
minds off their daily studies"
The petition also said, "the air.
planes create considerable dust
which makes 1t practically impos-
sible to keep the Groveton Elemen-
tary School clean and in an orderly
condition"
Held Harmful to Property Values.
~ We feel that the airport
has deprecated the property values
of our homes in addition to becom-
ing a hazard to the residents and a
nuisance with the noise" the signers
said.
The petition was presented to the
board by a delegation of citizens
headed by Mrs. Dewey s. Johnson,
president of the Groveton Parent
Teacher Association.
Attorney Bernard Fagelson, rep
resenting the owners of the airport,
pointed out that the airport was
there when most of the homes were
built and when the school was
erected. He said, however, that the
management would be glad to dis
cuss the matter with representatives
of the petitioners.
A copy. of the petition, Mrs. john
son told the board, has been sent to
Gov. Tuck with the request that
he assist us in the enactment of
necessary legislation to abate such a
hazardous and nuisance condition
at the next session of the General
Assembly"
On motion of Supervisor Herbert
Blunt the board voted to accept the
petition and file it pending an op-
portunity to take action"

Fridays Budget Menu Is Easy;
Leftovers Help Make Meal

for the potatoes, time is saved. It is
much easier and requires less watch
ing ON the part of the cook when she
can arrange an oven meal. The
beets can also be peeled raw. sliced
put into a covered casserole, and
cooked while the potatoes are bak-
ing.
The fish for Friday would not
have been bought when the main
purchases were made last week,
unless they were frozen fllets. It
would be advisable to purchase them
today or tomorrow At the same
time, the green beans might be
bought for Saturdays dinner and
one OF the heads Of lettuce included
in the complete shopping list.
Waste from spoilage is thus kept
to a minimum.
The ether package of prepared
pudding is used for dessert Friday
night. To dress it up a bit, the
beaten whites of one, or two eggs
can be added and the yolks used for
the custard sauce to pour over the
pudding. g..

400 Interior Workers
Return Here Soon;
140 10 Stay Away

More than 400 employees of three
Interior Department agencies re-
turning, here from Chicago in three
scheduled meves this month are
leaving behind about 140 fellow
workers who have elected to remain
or find other employment, rather
than go through the ordeal of apart
ment hunting in Washington.
This appeared to be the situation
today involving the Indian Bureau,
National Park Service and the Fish
and Wild Life Bureau, whose 600
or more employees were transferred
to Chicago in 1943 to make room
here for the swelling army of war
workers.
The first trainload of Office effects
belonging to the Indian Bureau is
scheduled to leave Chicago tomor-
row. BY October II, it was believed,
the 100 or more Indian Bureau en-
ployes coming here will be set up
for normal working conditions in
the Interior Department building.
Housing Committee at Work.
The National Park Service is
bringing back 1876 employees. The
move from Chicago will start Octo-
Der II and will be completed by
October 23 Finally, the Fish and
Wild Life Bureau will bring back
131 workers, starting October II.
They should be set up here by
October 20.
Only about 20 per cent Of the
married workers have succeeded in
arranging for housing accommoda-
tions in Washington it was said
today. A housing committee is
doing the best it can to obtain
houses, single rooms and apart
ments in advance of their arrival.
An advance guard of each bureau
has been here for some time trying
to ease the work of setting up the
main Offices. They spend most of
their spare time hunting apart
ments, houses and rooms for them
selves and friends.
Many of the 40 or more who are
remaining in Chicago or going to
other field Offices notified the In
terror Department they would not
return because of the housing short
age. Others are leaving their fam
lilies in Chicago until they are able
10 locate suitable housing here.
Congress has authorized the pay
ment of communication allowances for
the employees and their families; but
even so, it was said, few will be
able to break. even.
S. Park Service Transfers.
Out of 208 positions, the National
Park Service reported that IS en-
ployes are transferring to other
Government agencies. An advance
guard of 27 officials and employees
already is here.
The Fish and Wild Life Service
now has 81 employees here but will
have IS vacancies to fill. It was
said the Indian Bureau will have to
hire only three persons. A liaison
branch of about 80 employees has re-
manned in Washington.
All three agencies are to be housed
in the Interior building. That
building is undergoing a "shrinkage"
of it's offices to accommodate the
more than 400 returning this month
and the new employees to be hired.
The Indian and Park offices will
occupy some of the corridors in
which they formerly were housed
Fish and Wild Life employees, how
ever, will be introduced to the
building for the first time. That
service was transferred from the
Agriculture Department to Interior
in 1889 but did not then move from
its quarters.

MtCUT(KE0N ASKS CAPITAL BE MOVED
 JUNEAU TO PALMER

Removal of the capital of Alaska from Juneau to Palmer is sought in memorial introduced in the House of Representative by Rep. McCutcheon of Anchorage.
 Juneau, the memorial states, is crowded on to a narrow ledge at th,a foot of two mountains with out any ground available for grow tn of Territorial and State institu- tions, and without characteristics of terrain and weather conducive to regular aviation service and use of large planes, while Palmer, ip the broad and beautiful Matanuska Valley, has ample room and is close to Anchorage, with it's growing air facilities
 Another memorial, by Reps. Eng strom, Laws and Ost, asks that necessary steps be taken to estab- fish railroad connections from the continental United States to Alaska. A tentative route is suggested: Connection at Prince George, B. O., through Hazelton, Atlin, Whitehorse and Gulkana to Anshorage. Anoth- CT railroad is proposed from Fair banks to Nome and spur connec- ton from the main system to Ju- neau and other points on the coast.
