Four overtime parking violations

had received tickets in the Claren-

Notes of 3 Canadian Children
Reach Santa in ArIinqton

Children of the Canadian Province
of New Brunswick have found a
new way to send their requests to
Santa Claus-and new Santa
Claus, for that matter.
This was disclosed when a buyer
of a Christmas tree on an Arlington
sales lot found a note attached to
the trunk of balsam shipped in
from Canada. Within the next few
hours, two similar messages were
discovered on other trees for sale
at North Sixteenth street and
Courthouse road.
And the first-found note, at least,
will bear fruit for its youthful
author.
Miss Gladys Samaha, 20, and her
brother, Nicholas, 18. of 1912 Wilson
boulevard, the finders, said last
night they will send gifts to Bruce
Gallant, Upper Nelson, New Bruns-
wick, Canada, who signed the note
although probably not the bicycle he
requested.
Bruce's note, written in uneven
longhand on a small piece of blue
paper, was wrapped carefully in
table oilcloth and tied to the tree.
It read:

Damages Put al $500
In Two Maryland Fires

Damages estimated at 1900 were
caused by two fires in nearby Mary
land yesterday.
One blaze, in an uncompleted
apartment in the new Queenstown
apartment development in Mount
Rainier, caused about $1,000 worth
of damages, according to Chief Karl
Young of the Mount Rainier Volun-
teer Fire Department.
This fire damaged the interior of
the apartment and a number of ap-
pliances stored there for use in
other apartments on the project.
Volunteer firemen from Mount
Rainier, Brentwood and Hyattsville
had difficulty getting to the blaze
because of the heavy mud on the
uncompleted streets in that portion
of the new community. Chief
Young said the fire was caused by
a carelessly tossed cigarette or
match.
In the other fire, about $500 in
damages was reported on an old
three-story frame house. occupied
only by a caretaker, on New Hamp-
shirt avenue, north of Piney Branch
road, near Avenel. The blaze was
confined to q second-hoor corner
room.

Arlington Man Fined $50
On Tax Return Failure

An Arlington man was fined $50
in Arlington County Court yesterday
for failure to file State tax return.
w. T. McKinnon, "A, of 1923 South
Kent street, was found guilty by
Judge Hugh Reid after Commis-
sioner of Revenue Harry K. Green
testified Mr.. McKipnon had ig-
nored requests to file the return.
Mr.. McKinnon, a Bureau of En-
craving and Printing employe, did
not take the stand. Last week, when
the case first was called, Mr.. Nc
Kinnon questioned authority OF
Virginia to levy taxes on resident
who maintains a legal residence
in another State. He said he is a
legal resident of South Carolina.
Judge Reid told him that the
Supreme Court already has ruled
that States have the authority.
The case was prosecuted by As
sistant Commemorative Attorney
Paul D. Brown.
The law Allows 10 days in which
the convicted man may note an

May Call Conference
On Virginia Building

James w. Smith of Ashland, Va,
president of the Virginia Association
of School Trustees, said yesterday
he would call a, meeting of the
groups executive committee to con-
slider school building needs if the
demand for such a meeting is estab-
lished and IF it gives promise OF
good results"
The Fairfax County School Board
Tuesday night requested its chair
man, F. w. Robinson, to ask Mr..
Smith to call such a meeting to
answer criticism of school building
proposals throughout the State. Mr..
Robinson said yesterday he planned
to make the request after the first
of the year. He said if an executive
committee meeting is called, 1t then
can be decided whether to call a
mass meeting of all State school
boards.
There has been some criticism
in the press as to the amount of
money necessary to finance school
building requests throughout the
State" Mr.. Robinson explained. He
said estimated needs from all parts
of the State for the next 10 years
totaled nearly s400,000,000.
Some of the criticism has been
leveled al school superintendent
who have, been accused of over
estimating school construction
needs, Mr.. Robinson said if the
school trustees association met,
they could then determine if the
school building proposals were ac-
curate and, if so, support them,
instead of leaving the responsibility
for support up to the school super
intendentS.
Mr.. Robinson said it was not
proposed to give any consideration
at the mass meeting as to how the
school building proposals should be
financed, although Fairfax County
school authorities favor imposition
of a sales tax
