CARE FOR GOLDFISH.
From L. S.. WGshinqtofi. J

tcTOWt Il. D., w USfttft9tOIts/
Hope that 8. E. G., Washington,
may benefit by the care that I give
my two goldfish.
I have two goldfish, just plain
goldfish, which I bought at the 10
cent store. I feel sure that they
were young fish, as the tail on each
was quite short and as I've had the
same fish for years and they are
extremely healthy right now. Their
aquarium is set on a table by a win
dow, where they get daylight, but no
sun at all! I change the water once
a week, by putting the fish in the
bathroom basin and washing the
aquarium with soap and water. Be
sure to keep the water the fish are
in at as near the same temperature.
The fish have an average amount of
fish weed (bought at the 10-cent
store, or at pet shop. They have
some small glass stones in the bot
tom Of the aquarium. I got these
at the 10-cent store. I feed them
once day. The food is a box Of
cereal-like granules. Just q good
pinch of it is all they get in day.
Got the food at the 10-cent store,
too.
The fish are very tame and task"
for breakfast" when I feed them
each morning at am. Don't make
the mistake Of feeding the fish
too much!

N The Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va, June - The
school loan mandamus proceeding
brought by Attorney General j.
Lindsay Almond, jr., has been moved
to the head Of the Virginia Supreme
Courts docket. The case will be
heard Monday morning.
Nearly $5,0O0,000 in school con-
struction by Virginia localities has
been suspended pending a decision
by the Appeals Court in the man
damus proceedings.
The loans were approved by the
State Board of Education under acts
of 1916 and 1947. authorizing the
State Retirement Board to invest In
local bonds evidencing loans from
the Literary Fund.
Counsel for State Treasurer Jesse
w. Dillon and State Controller Hen

sources into the exhausted Literary
Fund.
In addition to the mandamus case,
the court expects to hear argument
Monday in two cases testing the
constitutional guarantee Of religious
freedom.
One appeal was brought by three
Nottoway County farmers from $
fines imposed on each of them for
failure to comply with the States
compulsory school attendance law.
They contend their children were
taught at home from McCufiey
readers and other texts because OF
their conviction that the Bible or
ders parents to look after the edu-
cation of their children personally.
The other is the appeal taken by
Dan Leroy Hall, young minister OF
Jehovah's Witnesses, from s. fine
imposed in the Hastings Court OF
Richmond on q charge Of trespass-
ing in the Monroe Terrace apart
ments. Evidence in the case showed
that persons who wished to visit
the apartment had to be cleared by
the hosts.
Despite a warning by the apart
ment house manager and an ex-
planation Of the rule, the minister
insisted on going from apartment
to apartment to distribute litera-
ture.
