Effort was made two years ago
to float bonds for school buildings
but the movement was blocked by
legal difficulties arising from the
incorporation of Falls Church as
a city of the second class. The
vote to be taken Wednesday will
culminate efforts made since then
efforts delayed from time to
time because of the city's an
nexation plans.
School authorities estimate SIG
million will be required to pro-
vide an adequate building pro-
gram in the next 10 years. The
bond issue now proposed, together
with SIS million to be obtained
from other sources. would permit
a start on work to be spread over

payers have to furnish the money
with which to build the facilities.
The School Board, the Board of
Supervisors, the Emergency School
Committee and others think the
best way to raise money is by
floating bonds. They set the fig
ure at sos million for immedi-
ate needs.
A bond issue is a method OF
borrowing money. The county
gets the amount it wants in a
lump sum. 1t uses it to build the
schools. 1t retires the bonds
repays the loan slowly, usually
over a period of 20 or 80 years
To get the money for repayment
the county levies a special tax
each year during the life of the
bonds.
Arguments for Issue.
Here are some arguments ad-
vanced in favor of approving the
school bond issue:
/. The money so urgently needed
can be raised quickly. With funds
in hand, building can be started.
2. Cost of the program would
be spread over e. number OF years,
making annual payments less bur-
denSome on each citizen.
8. Financing schools with a bond
issue is similar to financing private
homes with mortgages. 1t is eco
nomically sound.
4. If the bond issue fails. the
county would have just one al
ternative-it would have to raise
money by a big direct tax. This
tax could produce no revenue for
a year and a half. 1t would be
intolerably high to produce the
amount needed. It would fall
entirely upon taxpayers in the
next few years.
S. Costs of a bond issue would
be shared by taxpayers over a
long period-including people who
will benefit from the schools in
the future.
There appears to be no CEN
trally organized opposition to the
bond issue proposal. Neverthe-
less, it is being fought by men,
bers of several groups. One is
the Fairfax Taxpayers Advisory
Association. Another, recently
formed, calls itself the Fairfax
County Better Government Com
mittee.
Arguments Against Bonds.
Here are some of the argu-
ments advanced against the bond
issue:
l. The pay-aS-you-go plan is as
good in building schools as in
other fields. Each year the county
can levy taxes to cover current
costs.
2. The sos million figure set
is too high. All of it could not
be used at once. (School authori-
ties said, however, they would
float the bonds gradually, as new
construction requires.)
8. Interest charges on the bonds
would be burdensome.
4. Complications would result if
the bond issue is approved and
ii parts of Fairfax are annexed
by Falls Church or Alexandria
Both cities have annexation suits
pending. The bond opponents
contend residents of the annex
able area may be liable for "dou-
BILE taxation" (This is denied by

The most important question
Of public education ever submitted
to Fairfax County voters will be
decided Wednesday.
Ballots cast between 7 am. and
7 pm. that day will determine
what the county does to relieve
one of the most critical school
situations in the United States
and how quickly.
The voters will decide whether
to authorize a $10.5 million bond
issue for school construction.
If they approve bonds, Fairfax
will launch a big school building
program within matter of
months. If the voters reject the
proposal, the county then must
find some other solution to a
problem getting worse every day.
In the latter event, delays in re-
lief appear inevitable.
Crisis Due to Growth.
The Fairfax crisis is due pri-
marily to tremendous growth, as a
consequence, of which demands
for government service far exceed
supply. AS the largest single
service, the school system has suf-
fered the heaviest burden.
In 1910. Fairfax schools en-
rolled 8,195 pupils. Two or three
years ago the postwar classroom
crush was felt. In one session,
enrolment jumped almost 1000.
The next session it rose another
1900.
Last January /, the schools had
$4,000 children and they are still
enrolling on an average of 81 each
day. At that rate, 18,400 will be
clamoring for education in Sep
tember, 1851.
BY accepted standards, Fairfax
will need about 900 classrooms for
those pupils. At present, the school
system has just 321 and IS of these
are sub-standard. AS a makeshift.
it is accommodating the present
overflow in II extra spaces. These
include leaky Quonset huts, church
rooms and lodge halls removed
from main school buildings, and
even furnace rooms.
Still Short After Building.
The impact of sudden popula-
ton growth is reflected by some
1948 statistics: At the start of the
year the county had a shortage of
II claSSrooms. 1t managed to build
l6 new ones. Yet, when the year
ended, enrollement had increased
so much that the system was short
so classrooms.
The shortage now is estimated
at 80 rooms. and the outlook for
next term is much darker. School
Supt. w. T. Woodson is hiring 90
more teachers although no one
knows where they will hold classes.
Regardless of the outcome of
Wednesdays bond issue, Fairfax
County will have to build schools.
The vote this week simply helps
determine how the construction
will be financed.
The Virginia Constitution di-
rectS the General Assembly to
establish and maintain an eff
cient system of free schools"
The Assembly. in turn, requires
the counties and cities to operate
such systems under general super
vision of the State.
Citizens Must Pay.
Thus, the Fairfax School Board
faces the legal responsibility of
providing adequate facilities for

Maryland S Debt Hits
Record S69 Million;
Virginia Shows Drop

Maryland's gross debt reached
q record high last year Of $69, 9,182,-
000-nearly double the 1946 figure
while Virginia's Indebtedness
dropped from $22.5 million four
years ago to $18.5 million in 1949.
During the same period, West
Virginia'S debt also was reduced
from $68.2 million to $65.5 million.
These figures were contained
in 26-page report on the POST
war Trend in State Debt" made
public yesterday by the Tax
Foundation, Inc, New York. a
non-proflt research organization.
The study covered the nine-year
period beginning in 1941.
According to the foundation the
gross debt Of the 48 States has
hit an all-time total of SAL billion
and probably will go higher be-
fore it turns down." This repre-
sents 70 per cent increase over
the $2.4 billion in 1946.
Taken in conjunction with the
Federal debt of more than $3.50
billion and local debt of SIT bill
lion. the upward trend in State
debt augurs fiscal trouble" the
foundation warned, especially
since all these debts are mount
ing in prosperous times when in
fiated revenues should enable old
debt to be paid off,"
Downward Trend Reversed.
A chart listing the various State
debts in 1941, 1916, 1947, 1948 and
1949 showed that Maryland owed
$50. $4,000 at the beginning of
the period under study.
It's debt dropped to $34, ,699, 900
in 1946 and to $29, ,266, 900 in 1947
before starting its upward climb
with $33.031,000 the following
year.
Virginia's debt dropped steadi-
ly from $27, ,799, 900 in 1941 to $22,-
$4,000 in 1946, $20,632, 900 in
1947, $19,3O4,00O in 1948 and
$18,532, 900 in 1949.
West Virginia's debt during the
same years was $79,873,000 in
1941, 1926, 900 in 1946, 500 mil
lion in 1947, $66, 1852, 900 in 1948
and 5,651 900 in 1949.
On a per capita basis, Mary
lands debt last year figured out
to $31.81 for every man, woman
and child in the Free State; Vir-
ginia, $5.97. and West Virginia,
1882.
Principal source of debt since
1946, the report stated, has been
the $14 billion in veterans bonus
bonds issued by 10 States. No
such bonds have been issued in
Maryland, Virginia and West Vir-
ginia.
Warning Sounded.

borrowing for postwar construc-
ton has not been an important
factor in the recent rise in debt"

OF the 81 States showing post
war debt increases, Ohio had the
largest-from $40 million in 1945
to 1904 million in 1949, the study
showed.
And of the II States which re-
duced their debt in the postwar
period, Georgia led with a drop
from $8.4 million in 1946 to $32
million in 1949.
Delaware led all States in per

while three States, Idaho, Iowa
and Nebraska, had per capita
debts of less than 81 each. Idaho
had the lowest-53 cents.

Are There College Dates Ahead?
By Kite Turmoil

Does date-life begin at college,
for you or your friends, or your
future dates this September? If
you do not expect to go to college
for a while, if at all, would you
like to know how to fit in with
dates who do.
Most of the traits which
can make you more popular, in
high school and in your home
town, will help you to steer your
social course for college dates too.
You are not expected to change
personality or date-traits in
flash. You are still you and that
is what you want to be. Doubt
less the college men and women
with whom You may go out are
as eager to be natural and friendly
as the girl next door or the girl
in the next block with whom you
would feel at home anywhere.
At the college-date stage, you
are expected to be more mature
and to fit in with campus customs.
These change and differ. Many
schools have their own strong So
cial traditions which 1t is wise to
respect. Do not hesitate to ask
older or former college people for
whatever advice you might want
on how to break the ice'' without
frosting your first college date
chances.
For tips on the date -sophistica-
tion which goes we'll with higher
education, consider the advice
often given to freshman by one
smooth senior man who Is out
standing at his State university
and in his fraternity. For college
date success he counSelS:
SHOW SOME PERSONALITY.
You do not have to be a social
wonder to be interesting, but do
not think that you can get by
on appearance only. In high
school you might be more con-
scious of good looks than in col
lege where it is the pleasing per-
sonality that counts most OF all,
definitely.
TALK ABOUT SOMETHING.
Don't be a glum, silent one. The
boy looks for the girl who can
talk about what interests him.
That could be sports, studies or
what you want to do in life. To
know what is going on and to
think about the future is more
progressive than to hark back to
what you used to do. Forget the
past or your date may forget you,
quickly.
SHOW THAT YOU KNOW HOW
to GET ALONG WITH PEOPLE
IN GENERAL. This is very i'm
portant. To any college date you
will score as a better social mate
if you are friendly to strangers,
gracious to older people, interested
in children and pet, adaptable IN
ali your human relationships.
