flaw so serious that it causes
doubt that Parkfairfax-Fa
ton is a Utopia at all, is the diesel
horn on the yard engine of the
freight spur of the Old Dominion
Railroad which runs through
Four Mile Valley. Although planes
bound for nearby National Air
port sometimes fly so low over the
roof tree that you sit up in bed
and shout for them to pick up
their wheels. the diesel horn is
much worse. The engineer has
to blast it for every crossing
Dominion road, Valley drive and
the Shirley highway.
This reporter, who has lived
for seven years at 1882 Martha
CustiS drive in Parkfairfax, has
never been able to get used to it
There are beautiful diesel horns
available for railroads. On Sleep
less nights he has found the sound
of the diesel trains of the South
ern Railroad as they approach
Alexandria from the South to be
delightful.
If the Old Dominion doesn't
get new and decent horn for
that yard engine, I am going to
organize a gang of Parkfairfax
little cops and robbers and have
them hold up the train and lynch
the engineer.
They'd do it too.

kitchens always are in the front.
While working in the kitchen
every housewife can keep check
on the comings and goings of
everyone in the court. This has
some psychological effect, bor-
rowed from industry. which makes
the work in the kitchen less fatig-
uing. She can also see the callers
in time to doff her apron before
greeting them.
But best of all, due to the vast
amount of space he had to play
with, the architect managed to
give the large windows in every
living room a view of lawn, or
grove or garden.
The buildings have no cellars.
One steps out the rear garden
doors of the apartments onto grass
which is at the same level as
the living room floor.
No Utopia, no matter how idyllic
in beauty and blest in cline, can
be occupied by human beings
without their bringing along some
of the more unfortunate charac-
teristics of the species.
Rivalry Between Development.
Opened to the public at about
the same time, affording much
the same type of apartments at
much the same rates, Parkfairfax
and Harrington presumably were
populated by the same type of
people.
But Immediately rivalry
sprang up and a discussion started
which could be overheard in the
stores. The proposition of the
debate could be formalized by put
ting it thus: Resolved: That
Parkfairfax Cor harrington de-
pending on the residence of the
proponent) is the community on
the right side Of the tracks"
OF course no tracks divide the
community. The expression, as is
well known. has unfortunate con-
notations. 1t seemed a shame that
it should develop in this slumless
community where everybody is
prosperous.
The only divisions were ones of
name, different ownership, and
the Seminary road which, south of
Four Mile run, is the county line.
Parkfairfax is in the City of Alex
andria: Harrington is in Arlington
county.

outfits have laundry rooms
equipped with coin-operated
washing machines and driers
located in every group of build
ngs.
One woman undertakes to put
up schedule once a week at a
time known to all and then the
others sign up for the period they
intend to use. The main difficulty
seems to be that many women
think they have a vested right in
the period they have been using
in past weeks. Routine is irnpor-
tant in the keeping of any we'll
operated household.
It's when they find that some
one else has signed up for their
time that the protests are made
to all ears but those of the Of
fender. And when the interloper
fails to use the stolen" time, the
indignation becomes a dangerous
emotional disturbance.
Another flaw in this Utopia, o

inordinate pride in the fact they
had cellars while their Parkfair-
fax neighbors have none. Some
Parkfairfax families took mex
plicable satisfaction in the fact
that they were tenants of one of
the triumphs of private enterprise
one of Americas largest cor
porations They looked down on
neighbors across the line who not
only worked for the Government
but paid rent to it.
Last Difference Removed.
The last difference finally was
Strengthened out. The Defense
Homes Corp. sold it's properties
and darlington also has private
ownership.
But differences developed
within the two communities. The
Shirley highway, a beautifully
handicapped 4-lane divided thor
oughfare runs through the Fair
lington property, dividing it into a
North and a South darlington.
The North darlington buildings
are little more CONSTRUCTED as to
space. Soon there were South
Harrington residents who said
North darlington was on the
wrong side of the tracks.
In Parkfairfax there could be
no such divisions. But it seems
that two or three two-bathroom
duplex apartments were built on
Mount Eagle place, Parkfairfax's
highest eminence. Soon invidious
remarks were being made about
1.-The aristocrats of Mount Eagle
place."
Many children have been
brought to Parkfairfax-F -Fairling-
ton apartments and many more
have been born to couples living
there. The first big wave of war
time babies is now starting school.
1t is too bad to have to report
this about Utopia but some of
them are particularly self-expres-
sive products of the progressive
idea of education. Sometimes
they fill their squirt guns with
inde]ible dyes then wait for some
one to go by in a new suit.
Washing Is Problem.
But it is not the depradations
of the children but the latest un-
fairness at the laundry that the
tired husband hears about when
he returns to his darlington or
Parkfairfax apartment. Both

earch for Loot
Of Bank Bandits
Continues Here
Safety Deposit Boxes
Scrutinized After
; Suspects Are Held

Three suspects held in the rob-
berries of two Washington banks
may have stored part of their
haul in safety deposit boxes OF
other banks.
This possibility was being in
vestigated by authorities today in
the continuing search for more of
the $4,000 taken by armed
bandits from the Spring Valley
branch of the National Metropoli-
tan Bank on December 7 and from
the Shepherd Park branch of the
Hamilton National Bank last
February.
Two Washington youths, one of
them a new Fort Meade draftee,
and an ex-convict from California
were arrested last Friday and
Saturday in co-ordinated investi-
cation by Metropolitan police and
the Federal Bureau of Investiga-
ton. The arrests and team work
were roundly praised by FBI Di-
rector j. Edgar Hoover.

Those held are Christopher Tas-
SOS, "a, the former convict, who
was arrested Friday in North
Hollywood, Calf; Leon Miskin
%. of the 500 block of Nicholson
street NV. and Nicholas James
Carrigan, %. the draftee.
Washington police had Miskin
and Carrigan under constant
watch for eight days before the
arrests. Police Supt. Robert j.
Barrett said. They were even
standing by when Carrigan was
sworn into the Army last Wednes-
day. Their arrest was delayed un-
til a positive connection could be
made in the case linking them
with TaSsoS.
More than 10 witnesses in recent
robberies looked at Carrigan and
Miskin in a special police lineup
yesterday, and from it came posi-

FOR BUSINESSMEN

vi d. o4NkOoMEN
Seward businessmen and their
families will be protected by
Social Security, starting Janu-
airy 1, 1851, according to James
G. Browne, Manager of the So
cial Security Office in Juneau,
Alaska.
Previously limited to wage
earners, the Old-Age and Survi-
vors Insurance system has been
extended to most self-employed
persons by the 1850 amend
ments.
Under the new Social Securi-
ty Law, net income from self
employment after January | will
count toward Social Security
Benefits if it is $500 or more a
year.
Farm owners and certain pro-
fessional groups will continue to
be exempt, however, these in
clude members of the medical
professions, lawyers, architects,
accountants, professional engin-
GERS, and funeral directors.
Net earnings for this newly
cover ed group will count toward
building ny retirement benefits
and Insurance protection for
their families in case of death
Businessmen will report their
net earnings for Social Security
purposes when they pay their
income tax for the year 1851,
due in 1852. The Social Securi-
ty contribution for self-employed
people will be ga per cent of
their net income up to $4,000
year.
Mr.. Browne warned that all
businessmen should have So
cial Security Account Number
Card, In the event they have lost
their card duplicate may be
obtained in the Juneau Field
Office.

vised Social Security Law may
