Assembly Will Elect
7 More Judges for
Virginia Thursday
BY a siaE Correspondent Of The s,o'

RICHMOND, Mar. 7.-Associate
Judges for the two court circuits
closest to Washington are ex-
pected to be elected by the Gen.
eral Assembly Thursday.
Delegate George Damn, Arling-
ton, secretary of the Democratic
caucus of the House and Senate,
said tentative plans call for get
ting the party members together
tomorrow night to agree on
candidates.
Former State Senator William
D. Medley, Arlington. who has the
unanimous Endorsement of that
county's bar association, is ex-
pected to be the unopposed nom-
inee for the associate judgeship
OF the Thirty-f1fth Circuit pre-
sided over by Judge Walter T..
Mccarthy.
A contest may develop in the
caucus, however, over the nominee
for the Sixteenth Circuit of Judge
Paul E. Brown which includes
Alexandria and the counties of
Fairfax and Prince William. Trial
Justice Harry Carrico, Fairfax,
has the Endorsement of both the
Fairfax County and Alexandria
City Bar Associations. while Arthur
Sinclair, Manassas attorney, has
been recommended by the Prince
William bar.
The Alexandria bar gave its in
dorsement yesterday.
2 Arlington Bills Passed.
For the first time in more than
a week, both houses had rela-
lively quiet sessions and few local
bills affecting Northern Virginia
areas We're acted on. More than
200 House measures approved
Saturday reached the Senate yes
terday and were referred to COM
mittees.
Among bills passed by the SEN
ate yesterday, however, were two
Arlington county measures spon-
sored by Mr.. Damn and Dele
gate j. Maynard Magruder, also
of Arlington.
One authorizes the Arlington
County board toGparalel State law
with local ordinances against mis-
demeanors. This could provide
additional revenue because more
than $4,000 in fines for misde-
meanors were imposed in Arling-
ton last year. If such fines were
collected under local ordinance,
the money would be retained by
the county.
The second bill permits Airing
ton to adopt the same assessment
procedure for installation of side
walks that now is followed for
sewers. Both bills were sent to
the Governor.
18 Bills Passed.
The Senate passed Is bills in a
series by Delegate Armistead
Boothe. Alexandria, carrying out
technical changes recommended
by the State Code Commission,
which Mr.. Boothe heads.
The matter of what action the
House intends to take on poll
tax repeal resolutions rested in
the House Committee on Priv
ileges and Elections. The poll tax
matter was recommitted yester-
day in an apparent move to allow
the committee to try to offer
something a bit stronger than a
substitute resolution it offered
previously The committee pro-
posed a two-year study by the
Virginia Advisory Legislative
Council before giving the 1852
Legislature another try at the
problem.
Privileges and Elections COM
mittees of both House and Senate
have scrapped a number of poll
tax repeal proposals. The simplest
of these merely would change the
constitution to eliminate payment
of the poll tax as a prerequisite
to voting.

The public is learning more and
more about the problems posed
by alcoholism through educational
campaigns emphasizing that alco-
holism is a durable disease.
One such campaign is a series
of special broadcasts, Alcoholism
In Washington" beginning tonight
on WMAL and WMAL-FM, The
Evening Star stations.
Doctors and social workers, po-
lice officials and judges. will ex-
plain the problems and tell what
they are doing to combat them
Recovered alcoholics will give first
hand accounts of their fight to
stop drinking. including one man
who will tell how it feels to have
the DTS"
The series, moderated by Gun
mar Back, former CHS newscaster.
will be heard for eight Tuesdays
from 9::45 to 10 pm. The tape
recorded programs are sponsored
by The Star and two groups in
che forefront of the growing at
tack on alcoholism here-the Dis
trict Health Department and the
Washington Committee for Edu-
cation on Alcoholism.
Experts to Tell Story.
Mr.. Back will let experts tell
the story. They will show that
the alcoholic is a sick person. that
he can be cured and that alco-
holisn is public health problem.
Groups fighting alcoholism here
want the public, including alco-
holics, to know that a cure is pos
sible and that many rehabilita-
ton programs are available. In
respect to theraputic programs,
the District is ahead of most
States, according to DR.. Winfred
Overholser, superintendent of st.
Elizabeths Hospital. But he adds:
We've got a long way to CO."
What gave the District a head
start was the. Hebert Act. estab-
fishing the Health Departments

amble sets the stage for modern
treatment of alcoholism with
these words:
''The alcoholic is a sick person" :"
To cope with these sick per-
sons, the alcoholic clinic holds
four our-long clinic sessions
week. Group therapy sessions, to
which families of the patients are
invited, are held once a week.
There's a workshop for occupa-
tional therapy and a staff of IS
full and part-time employees,
headed by DR.. Leopold E. Wex-
berg.

patients come from the courts. at
the rate of six day. The rest are
voluntary patients.
United States Attorney George
Morris Fay says he believes the
clinic will reduce the number of
repeaters brought into court on
drunk charges. ~
Judge Almond Scott takes the
view the clinic is a step in the
right direction but doesn't go far
enough. For years he has urged
establishment of a large self
sustaining institution along farm
lines to which alcoholics could
be sent. DR.. Wexberg concurs in
this opinion.
In addition to the public clinic,
the Salvation Army is planning to
build one at Ninth and I streets

A talk on the subject of secondary
teaching by Mr.. James E. Solt, prin-
cipal of Hagerstown High School,
highlighted the meeting of the local
Dwight D. Eisenhower Future Teach
ers of America Club, Monday, April
"a.
Beginning his talk Mr.. Solt de-
fined secondary teaching by dividing
it into five parts.
The first of these was: that teach
er must have a subject to teach, but
quickly added = eve don't teach
subjects, we teach children" He
continued then, to point out the need
for a secondary teacher to specialize
in one or two subjects.
A secondary teacher should work
with extra-curricular clubs and ac-
tivities, was the second point brought
out by Mr.. Solt This club or ac-
tivity should correspond with spe-
cial interest of the teacher. BY do
ing this, the teacher can have an op-
portunity to understand the students
better. Closely connected with this,
Mr.. Solt pointed out, secondary
teacher should do much work in the
extra-curricular field
Continuing the talk, the high
school principal brought out the
point that secondary teachers should
not only share in the administrative
affairs of a school, but should also
be willing to share their time, out
side school, with the community. He
furthered the latter point by giving
two reasons why this should be
done: First, in order for the teacher
to know the community, and sec
ondly, because you grow as you
take part in community activities"
The guest speaker then asked,
what sets a secondary teacher
apart from others?" He answered
this question by stating that second
airy teachers work with all types of
teen-age personalities and that they
must plan their work to cope with all
these. Aside from this, a teacher
must be willing to know that he is
near the end of the assembly line
This point was explained as meaning
that when student leaves second
airy school he is then graduated and
the community, judging by these fin
ished products, "evaluates the sec
ondary teachers work perhaps more
than any other teachers"
After the talk the club members
held a short discussion period with
Mr.. Solt, during which many of their
own personal opinions were ex-
pressed.

Book ReuieU
Anne Of Green Gables
by L. M. Montgomery


is a delightful book for girls. It
tells of the trials and tribulations of
an orphan girl adopted by an elderly
brother and sister
Anne Shirley, whose parents died
when she was very young, lived
with neighbor woman who had
done the Shirley laundry, until she
was eight years old, when she was
sent to an orphan asylum.
1t seemed that nobody wanted
Anne; even Matthew and Marilla,
who finally adopted her when she
was IL years old, had wanted a boy
to help with the farm work.
Red haired Anne had vivid mag
ination and an ability to use big
words that often got her into unde-
sirable predicaments. Once, in an
attempt to dye her flaming locks
black, she dyed them green by mis-
take. Another time, when baking a
cake, she used a KIND OF medicine IN
stead of fiavoring.
Eventually, Anne outgrew her
frolicsome ways and, much to her
satisfaction, her hair turned deep
auburn and her freckles disappeared.
She became quite studious and
came out top in the examinations for
scholarship to a teachers college.
At the school she completed a two
years course in one, and won an
other scholarship to four years OF
college.
Then disaster struck. All Matt
hew's and Marilla's money was lost
in bank crash. Matthew died from
the shock, and Green Gables (Anne's
home for the past five years. had to
be sold to make ends meet. Never
theless, Anne's resourcefulness pull
ed all through in the end.
"Anne of Green Gables" is really
intriguing story for girls-be sure
to read it.
