Congress authorized these guar

Green Resumes Fight
Today Against Plan
To Buy Warehouse

Arlington County Treasurer
John Locke Green today will re-
sumo his efforts to prove that the
county School Board has INSULT
cient bond funds to buy a ware
house.
The boards suit to force release
of the money by Mr.. Green Is
being heard by Judge Walter T.
Mccarthy in Arlington Circuit
Court.
Mr.. Green claims a School Board
warrant for purchase of the $780,
750 warehouse next to Washing
ton-Lee High School is illegal.
Among his reasons is that there
is not enough "uncommitted'
money in the bond account.
Sought Postponement.
When called to testify by Law
renee Douglas, attorney for the
School Board, Mr.. Green told of
trying to postpone the auction
sale of the warehouse in behalf
of one of it's stockholders, whom
he represented. Mr.. Green, who
has a private law practice, said
he told the warehouse trustees
he might have an interested buyer
if the sale could be postponed.
But they wouldn't postpone
it. They must have thought
they already had a good buyer
he said.
He added that at that time he
did not know the School Board
was interested in the property and
said his refusal to honor the
School Boards warrant was not
connected with his previous in
terest in the auction sale.
Pamphlet Introduced.
MIR. Green introduced in evi-
dence a pamphlet published by
the School Board 10 days ago
which states that all money from
previous Arlington school bond

set aside "for buildings on which
construction will start soon."
DR.. E. j. Braun, assistant school
superintendent, testified that of
$6,526,000 received from two
school bond issues, the board has
spent $3,674,6 ,683 and is obligated
to pay $1,717,348 more, leaving a
total of $1,133,969 unemcum-
bered.
Judge Mccarthy asked Mr..
Douglas if all the School Boards
present commitments would ex-
fhaust the bond fund.
mo. not even the contracts,
plus the uncontrolled commit
ments plus this $288,000." Mr..
Douglas replied. The warrant
that Mr.. Green refused to sign
was for $288,O00. Part Of the
warehouse sale price already has
been paid by the School Board.

County Manager Plan
Gains Endorsement
OF Linco|nia League

The Greater Lincolnia Com
munity Civic League was on rec
ord today in favor of adopting
county manager government in
Fairfax County.
At a meeting last night in the
Lincolnia School. more than SO
league members voted unanimous
ly in favor of tie manager sys-
tenn. 1t was the first time the
league had voted on the issue, al
though it Is a member of the
Fairfax County Federation of Cit
liens Association which previous
ly indorsed the manager plan.
The league also adopted a reso-
luton denouncing the action of a
group in sponsoring a "so-called'
League of Civic Organizations, as
serting that the new organization
is designed to confuse county
voters in the November Z referen-
dunn.
1t was charged that the new
league does not represent any bona
flde civic associations, but is a
blind for those working against
the manager system.
The action of the Lincoln:a
group followed a talk by Mrs. Ed
ward Macy. president of the
County League of Women Voters
in which she said that II per cent
of the ccunty's residents now have
SO per cent of the representation
on the Board of Supervisors.
Mrs. Macy said the county
should be governed as a unit in
stead of by districts. Mrs. Macy
also said the county would have
better schools quicker under the
manager system than under any
other form of government.

not be irrevocable until she had boarded the

away from her. The thought of it gave her
feeling of panic. If only she could be as sure
she was doing the right thing as her mother!
There were some roses on display at the

succeeding lost argument nibble away at him,
horribly, until he was just tired little man
who smiled ageeably at all times and knew
the Greek word for rose?
Rhoda was flooded by tremendous feeling
of elation. Win or not, mother or not, she
knew what she must do, and the knowledge
lifted up her heart. Then suddenly, with
gasp of dismay, she stopped. For there, across

only half an hour left to make the train.
Now that the painful decision had been
reached, Rhoda felt an unreasonable rebel
lion against it. Even though her family lived
but a three-hour train ride away, and even
though she knew repentant Len would come
for her, the step she was taking both fright
ened and saddened her.
She walked slowly to the dressing table and
picked up Lens comb. Unnecessarily she ran
it through her hair. Then she soberly exam

then the light died from them. and she shook
her head slowly. A note would be conces-

her back, and Rhodas mother had made it
quite clear that such gesture would defeat
the whole purpose of her leaving.
MY DEAR" she had said the day before

and generous, and couldn't be happier that
you chose him."
Rhoda remembered listening carefully.
Everybody listened carefully to her mother,
because Mrs. Powell always knew exactly
what she wanted to say. For her mother life
was quite simple if you merely followed q few

rule was about to be explained to her.

care of themselves nicely. Go to any lengths,

they would have no arguments. And even if
she and Len should have tiny misunder-

VIRGIN ISLANDS FESTIVAL IN NEW YORK
The PROFESSIONAL League of Virgin Islands, an or
ganizaton of Virgin Islanders in New York which deyotes
much OF its efforts to getting across to the public the best side
OF what these islands offer, is completing plans for its Fest
val on June 18th. This will be the second such festival. and
will be held in the spacious auditorium of the Needle Trades
School on West 24th Street in downtown New York.
IN AN EVENINGS program, the Festival will attempt
to portray for its audience the cultural, economic and social
highights of life in the Islands. There will be, for example. a
masquerade troupe, and another group dancing the famed
quadriLe. These and other numbers will bring to the audience
that lighter side of life which is deeply rooted in our culture
Our culture is largely European, and the dance, the music and
much of what we do came from the Old World. MANY ma
tives would prefer not to put forth the quadrlle, but it is a
most gracious and dignified dance, and time was when nc.
real dance was complete without a set or two Of this dance
10 those natives who would reive the social highlights Of the
past, these dances will bring back memories Of a glorious
day when St. Croix and the Islands were in their heyday.
II is GOOD that the Virgin Islands Festival is being
conducted as an annual event. Time has come for these Is
lands to sound their own horns, and to let the world know that
there are good things about us, and that there is much here
that is highly desirable. Other groups unite to ~perpetuate
their manners and customs, and to bring about those things
which they need through effective cooperation. All nationa-
ldeS and groups on the mainland follow this course. Every
year the Irish put on a monster parade, other national groups
do the same, and even West indians are now developing a
carnival featured by calypsos, an event which is gaining pro
minence and popularity. This Virgin Islands Carnival which
is being worked upon may some day become an event Of great
prominence, and it might even be that there is full-scale CO.
operation between the mainland and local groups to make it
a truly outstanding event.
IN CONNECTION with the Festival is a Journal edited
by a young native, Hejner R. K. KIint. This Journal should
help spread the word, and it is hoped that it will be given
the fullest possible support, so that it might find its way IN
the hands of groups and individuals all over the mainland
