BY the Associoted Press

LEXINGTON, Va, Oct. 21.-
Greater highway-railroad grade

modernization of protective de-
vices, Walter l.. Young, assistant

Western Railway, said today.
"Manually protected crossings
both gates and fiagmen-are on
the way out" he told the third
Virginia Highway Conference at
Virginia Military Institute. He
said bells will disappear COM
pletely in a few years.
"Wig-wag signals" he added,
have seen their day; no more will
be installed on our line"
The obsolete signals and signs
are being replaced principally by
automatic gates or flashing lights,
both with better safety records
than the old-style devices, he
noted.
Another railroad official, G. D.
Brooke. chairman of the board
Of the Virginian Railroad. said
commercial highway and air
transportation have become of
age and should be required to as
sumo all the responsibilities of
grownups."

ing Virginia'S roads.

36-year- -old man had been the

said slowly, helps every kind of

But, he continued, man must
keep up his efforts to help those
less fortunate than himself. The

with an annual contribution to
the Chest.
Mr.. Arabian told how he came
to Vienna in 1916 after operating
shoe repair shops in Washington.
At first he rented his shop in an
old dwelling. When he found he
liked the small town and living
there improved his failing health,
he bought the structure.

ond floor for his living quarters.
Then he met Petro Donyluk, q
young DIP working on a farm near
Vienna. Although Mr.. Donyluk
knows little English. they found
they could converse because of
their knowledge of Old World
languages. Mr.. Arabian found
that Mr.. Donyluk is a cobbler by
trade and would like to work at
it again.
At this point. Mr.. Arabian's S
philosophy of helping others was
manifest. He talked with the
people who had gotten Mr.. Dony-
LUX. his wife and two children, to
the United States to work on their
farm and they agreed to let the
cobbler go to work for Mr.. Arab
ian.
Immediately, Mr.. Arabian be-
gan the conversion of the base
ment of his building as living
quarters for Mr.. Donyluk and his
family. The basement, which has
a ground level entrance at the
rear of the building. will make a
neat, pleasant home for the DPS.
Mr.. Donyluk is doing much of the
conversion work.
Mr.. Arabian is happy about the
situation. to say the least. He's
also glad to be the first Vienna
businessman to contribute to the
current Chest campaign. And he
hopes. he will be first again next
year.

field house, a new stadium, a
chapel and" a physical education
and auditorium building, with a
seating capacity of 10000.

said the university is doing well

cratic member of the Virginia
House of Delegates from Arling-
ton, last night attacked the coun-
tvs tax on gross receipts as zone
of the most inequitable taxes ever
imposed.

candidates for county and State
Offices who expressed their views
on current issues before about 80
persons at the Unitarian Church.

Damn Predicts S Million Surplus.
George Damn, another Demo-
cfat who is seeking reelection to

He said this money could be
distributed to counties and cities
for school construction. with each
locality matching the State con-
tribution.
From I. Lee Potter, the only
Republican candidate for the
House of Delegates, came the
claim that the county's present
legislative delegation does not rep
resent the wishes of the people.
He also denied charges that, as
a member of the minority party
he would WELD no influence in
the Legislature.
Accomplishments of the County
Board during the last four years
were outlined by its chairman
Basil M. De Lashmutt, Democrat
who is seeking reelection.

population has. more than dou-
bled in the last nine years, Mr..

mended establishment of citizens

Then, we must understand our

Alexandra Welfare

Pledge State Aid Effort

Armistead Boothe. member of
the Virginia House of Delegates,
last night pledged support of an
increase over the proposed State
welfare budget for the 1s50-52
biennium.
The Alexandria delegate made
the promise at meeting of the
Alexandria Community Welfare
Council which went on record ask
ing revision>of the proposed bud
get to include the estimates of
localities. E. P. Boyden, superin-
tendent Of public welfare in Hen
rico County and chairman of the
Committee on Information for the
League of Local Welfare Execu-
tives, said the State Welfare De-
partment had prepared the pro-
posed budget without considering
the needs estimated by localities.
You have a fair case. Tell your
legislators about it-we'n help you
put this thing over" said Mr..
Boothe.
Mr.. Boyden said other legisla-
tors had expressed the same senti-
ment.
Tells of Richmond Rebuff.
Mr.. Boyden and William M.
Kabler, vice-president of the Alex
andria Family Service Society. told
of their attempt to present the
local budget estimates to the Gov
ernor's Advisory Committee on
the Budget October 5.
Mr.. Kabler said Gov. Tuck told
them he could not accept their fig
ures on estimated welfare needs
and that he chose to work through
the State welfare officers.
He said he didn't believe in
welfare anyhow-that everybody
should work." Mr.. Kabler added.
Mr.. Boothe said the account of
what happened in Richmond
makes my blood boil" He added
that it might become blessing
in disguise" by bringing public
sympathy and attention to the
welfare budget problem.
6 Falls Short by Four Million.
+ Mr.. Boyden said the different
localities estimated their annual
needs at $15,367 900 while the
proposed State budget calls for
only $11, 1853 900. He said the esti-
mates of the localities was COM
piled by the Virginia Conference
of Social Work and the welfare
officials league.
Mr.. Boothe said he felt sure the
organizations estimates were con-
servative and fair.
Hardest hit, Mr.. Boyden said,
would be aid to dependent chill
dren because the State proposed
to eliminate a special fund for
this purpose that has been ap-
propriated since 1914.
The budget will go before Sem
ate and House committees at the
