| there is a big waiting list. Man
ager Thomas c. Campbell says:
"T1he possibility of accommodate
ing families not now on the watt
ing list in two or three bedroom
apartments within IL or 18
months is extremely remote, and
I'm probably being not very con-
servative at that)
Quota System.
What makes it tougher to get an
apartment at Parkfairfax is the de-
velopment's quota system. To avoid
high turnover percentages and to be
fair to employees of all Government
agencies and private business,
agency and private business tenant
quotas have been set up.
When one agency's quota is filled
up, you can't get an apartment If you
are an employe Of that agency
even II you are at the top OF the
list-until a family moves away and
creates an opening in your agency's
quota.
Right now. Parkfairfax has ten
ants from 68 Government agencies,
plus others from private industry.
OF the total Of 1851 apartments,
719 have one bedroom, 1863 have two
bedrooms, and 80 have three bed
rooms. Some of the two-bedroom
apartments are duplexes, and all the
three-bedroom apartment are du-
plexes. AL apartments have dining
spaces.
Rents Include Utilities.
Rents for one-bedroom suites
range from $50 to $67; for two bed
rooms, simplex and duplex, from
$50 to $85; and for three bedrooms,
all duplexes, from $85 to $97.50.
Rents include cost Of electricity,
gas, water and heat. Heat is pro-
vided by circulating hot water.
Also unusual today is the Park
fairfax management's willingness to
give two-year leases at today's rent
ais, which are the same as when the
development received its first ten
ants October l. 1943.
Duplex suites are two-story units
in two-story buildings. with living
room, dining room and kitchen on
the first floor, and bedrooms and
bath on the upper floor. These
suites. as a result, have q private
home" character.
The developments apartments
have 26 variations of three typical
floor plans. Separate buildings in
the development total 285.

Fairfax Board Weighs
Plans for Purchase
OF Sewer System

Pians for purchasing the Govern
ment-owned sewer system serving
80 square miles adjacent to Alex
andria, Arlington and Falls Church
today were being studied by Fair
fax County Board of Supervisors.
Sanitary Engineer James j. Cor
balls, jr, reported at yesterdays
meeting of the supervisors that he
had completed study of the ad-
visibility of acquiring the facility.
His report includes proposed pur-
chase price, but the supervisors re-
fused to disclose the amount at this
time. The supervisors did not act
on his report but they received
copies after the meeting so the plan
could be studied.
Built at $2.000.000 Cost.
The 20-mile long Government
sewer was built in 1912 through 1914
at a cost of about $4,000 900. 1t
serves the most thickly populated
area of the county, labeled Sanitary
District No. l.
Since the original sewer was laid,
private developers have added 10
miles of lines in the sanitary dis
trict. Mr.. Corbalis said his acquisi-
ton plans did not include these
privately owned lines.
The plans contain two separate
purchase methods, Mr.. Corbalis said.
One Is to make an outright pur-
chase by a cash payment, and the
second is to purchase the system
through long-term contract.
|, The cash purchase plan probably
would require a bond issue. Mr..
Corbalis said the report includes
figures to show how a bond issue
could be retired by payments OF
those the sewer serves.
/ ! Now Operated by County.
/ Although the system now Is owned
by the Government. it is operated
by the county with all revenues
above cost of operation going to the
Government. The monthly charge
for homes Is ST. Mr.. Corbalis said
county acquisition of the system
might permit a reduction of this
charge.
If the county does acquire the
sewer. Mr. Corbalis said, first profits
probably would be used for a sewage
treatment plant and other inn
provements to the system. The
sewer now empties into the Poto-
mac River near New Alexandria.
After studying the purchase pro-
posals, the supervisors indicated
they would hold another conference.
probably tomorrow. They plan to
meet with Representative Smith,
Democrat. of Virginia, next Tues
day, to discuss purchase OF the
sewer

JEFFERSON, Md, Aug. 1s.-The
principal figure in yesterdays con-
servation demonstration near here
was missing when the cue was given
for her appearance on the stage.
She was Mrs. Nellie V. Thrasher,
53-year- widow whose 175-acre
farm was made into modern,
conservation unit In a day. When
she was to be introduced. along with
Secretary of Agriculture Brannan
and Gov. Lane. she couldn't be
found. She finally was located in
the crowd before the speakers plat
form.
Mrs. Thrasher said she slipped
out of the house early. after a crew
OF painters had taken over, and had
wandered from project to project
without being noticed in the crowd
7, Law" she said" people didn't
want to see me, not with all this
fuss going on.
Il don't know what I like best"
she said Its all fine. The first
thing Ill do in the morning she
added. lis to get up and cook my
self a good breakfast
y
Even a bulldozer couldn't cope
with one of the wet spots in the
Thrasher's lower pasture. Used to
smooth out a ditch that had been
blasted with dynamite, the huge
machine mired down in a wet area.
And there it stayed until other
projects were completed and an
other machine could be sent to the
rescue.
This was the area where reed
canary grass was "sprigged7 in, and
even some farmers were curious as
to just what that was.

is good sign, Mr.. Brannan said
the field day also showed the Ameri-
can peoples awareness that the land
is important and its conservation
essential to the Nations continued
well-being.
Il think it is no exaggeration," he
said, that another century and a
half of wasting land. timber and
water might mean that we should
be unable to feed ourselves ade-
quately.'
Lane Cites Initiative.
Praising the people of Frederick
County for job well done, Gov.
Lane said the field day was a DEM
onstration of what can be accom-
plished through local initiative and
cooperation.
Waste, ignorance and an idea
that our bounty was inexhaustible. y
he said. have combined forces in
depicting. to an alarming extent.
the wealth of natural resources with
which nature endowed this great
land"
The Governor said he was glad
this country is able today to pro-
vide food needed in neighboring
countries. But at the same time, he
warned that many American people
do not have an adequate diet and
urged improved distribution meth
DDS to remedy this fact.
The representatives of many ma
lions were on hand to see the DEM
onStration, among them RICARDO
Martinez Vargas. Bolivian Ambas-
sador, and U So Nyun, Ambassador
from Burma. And writers and

the road that was being graded by
giant scrapers and earth carriey.
Farmers also got to see a modern
field chopper at work harvesting
corn and blowing it into the new
silo that had been raised during the
morning.
Speed was the word Of the day.
Five hours after 1S painters started
on the Thrasher house it stood
cleaning white under the clear sky
completely painted, insulated and
the yard newly graded.
In three hours all fences had been
removed, and tractors equipped with
posthole diggers made path for
new fences that will follow the new
pattern of fields.
And in the fields. terraces were
thrown up, contour strips took shape
and clouds of white lime floated
down off the hills, where it was
being spread on pasture. BY noon
the reconversion job was ahead of
schedule.
The job Of keeping men and
machines working together was in
the hands of Carl Ingling. district
supervisor of the Soil Conservation
Service. From a tent atop hill
on the farm he directed the work
by means of Walkie- talkie provided
by the Maryland National Guard.
SawmilI in Operation.
n of ~
toctin Mountain a modern Sawmill
was set up in a forestry demon
stration. There also, the Maryland
Game Commission had a wildlife
area demonstration.
Here spectators who climbed the
steep slope got a glimpse of lumber
being ripped from huge trees; of
quail in their natural habitat. and
of the fish that will eventually be
used to stock the Thrasher pond.
No single element of conserva-
ton was missing from the demon
stration.
( Describing the progress at inter-
walls throughout the day, Edward A.
! Wayne, vice president of the Fed
eral Reserve Bank of Richmond,
urged the crowd to retain the sight
of this demonstration as a "spir-
ltual experience
We must remember he said,
that what is being done here today
will reflect tomorrow in the minds
of our people
BY pm, Mr.. Wayne reported
that the project was 80 per cent
completed. At that time he said the
pond was nearing completion. the
barn was 90 per cent completed and
many other projects had been fin
iShed.
The tremendous job of setting
more than $50 fence posts and of
stringing more than 1922 rods of
barbed wire fencing moved slowly
ard by midafternoon call was is
sued for additional volunteers.
Small Jobs Remain.
When the day was finished. only
two small jobs remained to be done.
A few rods of fencing still had to
be competed, and wet area had
not completely been drained because
of a fouled drag line when a bull
dozer became mired.
l.. H. Crickenberger, field day
manager, said these jobs will be
completed in the next few days.
Watching from the speakers plat
form, Secretary of Agriculture
Brannan, who earlier had expressed
apprehension over the completely
of the operation. saw each project
move toward completion with the
precision of fine clock movement.

Mrs. Thrusher Lost in Crowd,

Service representative in charge OF
the projects, explained that sprigg-
ing in canary grass meant that the
BULBS were planted, instead of the
seed. That way, he added, you get
quicker stand.
incidentally, reed canary grass is
a grass that will grow in places
where the ground is too damp for
grasses like bluegrass or orchard
grass.
Although he couldn't attend, Ed
ward Hotter, who first had the idea
of the one-day demonstration, was
able to follow the events of the day.
In mid-atternoon Mr.. Hotter,
State Grange master and lecturer
for the National organization. called
from Maine to say he was receiving
progress reports by radio.
Franz Jopsis. who arrived three
weeks ago from Holland. thought
the construction of the farm pond
was the most interesting project
in the demonstration.
Franz, whose, father, Garrett Jop-
sis, is the Netherlands representa-
tive on the Far East Commission
said he believed ponds in America
are a good idea.
We have so many of them in
Holland" he said. that I didn't
understand why SO much attention
was given them in this country.
They are good"
Franz also was impressed by the
milking machine that was installed
in the new dairy barn. But he was
disappointed when told that the
milk was drawn into the machines
container and not through the air
pipes into the milk house.
He thought it would be much
simpler to have the milk flow
through the pipes. directly to the
cooler in the adjoining milk house.

There is bit Of confusion In the
minds of many people regarding
this question of democracy in the
schools. Just what does it mean,
how far does 1t reach, and to what
ends?
Democracy in the schools means
for me-friendly good will, help
fullness and cooperation among the
members of the staff, including the
supervisors This does not mean
the elimination of leadership. There
must always be leadership, there
must always be authority. Order,
without which nothing is ever ac-
complished, demands this. Democ-
racy is but an attitude toward life
real and down-to-earth-and life
in school is fundamentally the same
as life outside it.
There is a great deal OF talk
about democracy, but there the
matter seems to end. When in
the life of the school question
arises that breeds controversy, the
usual method OF settling the mat
ter is to impose authority. Is that
right or is 1t wrong, with regard
to democracy?
1t seems to me that If the real
spirit of democracy exists in the
school system, few such controver-
sizes should arise. The teachers are
supreme in their classrooms. The
principal is head of his school. The
Superintendent is the head whose
Evening star., 1948-05-04
Democracy in School

duty 1t Is to see that the laws are
oheyed, and whose privilege it is to
lead and inspire teachers and prin-
cipals in such way as to promote
good will and cooperation among
them all.
When the head Of the school or
the superintendent assumes an
authoritative attitude which, in ef-
feet, says, Teachers have nothing
to say about this" good will flies
out the window, cooperation fades
out. and there is antagonism and
rebellion throughout the system
Where imposed authority displaces
intelligent co-operation-which is
the product of inspired leadership
there can be no democracy.
What we want to have in opera
ton is working plan that creates
in us feeling of friendliness, the
spirit that allows every teacher to
feel he counts, that he is respected
and worthy of being consulted about
what affects his work. his dignity
and his ideals.
Teachers do not want to run the
school. All they ask is that, when
there Is a question that concerns
their work in their classrooms. they
be consulted about it, given an op-
portunity to express their disap-
proval or their acceptance of it. In
short, they want to be felt as per-
sonalities in their places, not robots
And that is not too much to ask
in a democracy.
