eliminating against him on &C
count of his race.
In his petition. Mr.. Raney said
that on April II he boarded a bus
in Suffolk for Norfolk where he
attended college and that when

next to a white person he was
ordered by the driver to move. On
his refusal. he said, the driver
ordered all persons to leave the
bus. drove around the block and
reloaded all passengers except Mr..
Raney. He refused to let Mr..
Raney board the bus and returned

Fairfax School
Bond Sale DELAY
Seen as Costly
Rising Costs Could
Force CurtuiIment
Of Building Plans
By james Birchfield

Litigation delaying the sale of s
sos million school bond issue
may cost Fairfax County thou
sands of dollars, school officials
said today.
Faced with still further delays
in the sale of the bonds, school
officials said rising building costs
may force curtailment of the orig
ina. construction plans.
While no estimate of increased
costs was made, it was agreed
construction costs already exceed
those, figured in the school i'm
provement program.
Alfred j. Anton, attorney fol
Charles Gardner and Paul Rhine
hart, jr., announced he will carry
a suit to prohibit sale of the bonds
to the Virginia Court of Appeals
October Z Deadline.
Mr.. Anton said he intends to file
notice. of appeal before the Oc-
tober 7 deadline in the case. II
the appeal is granted by the higher
court, sale of the bonds must be
delayed until final decision is
made.
Judge Arthur w. Sinclair, on
August IL, dismissed suit to
prohibit the bond sales and set a
$4,000 suspending bond. The
court ruling was to become final
in 81 days, unless the plaintiffs
made bond.
Mr.. Anton said his clients will
ignore the bond, merely serving
notice of their intention to ap-
peal. If the Supreme Court grants
an appeal, he said, a bond then
will be set by the court.
The suspending bond was de-
signed to protect the county
against loss incurred by delays.
The higher court presumably
could set bond sufficiently high
to meet such possible losses.
Contentious in Suit.
In their suit, Mr.. Gardner and
MIR. Rhinehart contend the Schoo
Board and the Board of Super
visors acted without discretion
in holding the referendum before
annexation proceedings against
the county are settled.
Falls Church, which lost its
annexation suit before a three.
man court yesterday, field notice
of appeal. A suit by Alexandria
is still pending and Is expected
to be heard this fall.
The suit also charged the petit
ton for the referendum was i'm
properly signed. that the bond
issue was Improperly drawn, that
proper notices of the referendum
were not posted and that the
School Board set an excessive
sum for construction.

Country Camps Close With Hundreds Children Hoping Come Back 1851

Summer camping ended today
at Prince William Forest Park
with every camper wanting to
come back for more.
Since June %, the Summer Out
ings Committee of the Family
Service Association has operated
two camps in the Federally owned
forest near Triangle. Va.
Camp Good Will. for white chill
dren, and Camp Pleasant. for col
ored, were opened through money
contributed to the Community
Chest and The Evening Star Sum-
mer Camp Fund by generous
Washington residents. The donors
wanted to make sure some under
privileged youngsters would have
lletter memories this summer than
hot, sleepless nights and dirty al
leys during the day.
Three two week periods of
camping brought to ITO of these
children the joys of swimming
and boating and the thrill of liv-
ing in the woods. away from honk-
ing horns and long hours of curb
sitting, wondering how to fill the
sweltering summer days.
Then, on August Is. through
funds contributed to the Wash
ington Heart Association, 112 chill
dren with heart ailments went
off to the camps. These children.

the woods this summer, reluctant
ly came back to the city today.
The cardiac camps, although
the same places as Goodwill and
PEASANT and operated by the same
staff, are supported by the heart
association. Their names are even
different - Sunshine, for white
children, and Wonderland, for
colore5
The heart camps were started
last summer, and counselors report
the children, most of whom had
never been to camp before and
were timid and a little scared,
didn't loosen up and really enjoy
for almost a week.
This year it was a different
story. About half of the children
were back for a second year. They
conf1ded in the newcomers about
the frogs they would catch. the
songs they would sing, the games
they would play and the fun they
would have. In about a day, just
time to rest up from the trip, the
campers were alive with en-
thusiasm.
Perhaps the pace was slower
than at other camps. but interest,
excitement and pleasure were even
greater.
One mother, on visitors day,
asked Mrs. Kit Snyder. director
of Sunshine: What on earth do
you do to these children here that
they don't want to come homer"

there was plenty of business for
bee stings and minor cuts and
bruises but that only two children

for anything more serious.

only real difference he noticed
between the two camps was that
