animals got what he wanted and they lived together
happily ever after.
Now, also, once upon time there was mer-
chants association. In their youth they had tasted
success But upon many occasions it had seemed that
the money they spent just didn't go further as they
expected it to. Then the cry arose. 'ditch the er-
chants association Pm through with it. Why should
we give cur money every year to something that isn't
doing us any good. And the almost perpetual cry OF
Pm not giving any more until this thing is handled
this way that way"
And there was another cry, "come on fellows.
The merchants association is good and necessary les
the only way we keep pace with our rivals we
have to build an organization in this community
that is strong and map direction for the future in
unity there is strength Together we stand divided
we fall Cooperation is the key to success" and a
host of other such remarks.
Now both jackasses knew what they wanted.
They had a common goal. They pulled long time
but didn't get anywhere. But they did wake up TO
the useessness of attempting success by travelling IN
the wrong direction. Once the realization dawned
that after ALL what's good for one good for all and
the way to accomplish this by cooperative efforts
the problem was soloved They had attained success.
Boiled down to brief and simply moral, towns,
organizations and churches can't attain their poten-
t;a nv pulling toward opposite feed bags Success for
one or success for all lies in setting our sights on the
same objective and shouldering the load as we move
together in that direction.

For PinbaI| Machines

Sam Lano, pinball machine
distributor, has taken out licenses
to place four'"legal" machines in
operation in Arlington County.
Court House officials said the
machines will not have the "free
play" device which cost Lano fines
totaling 5000 and costs in County
Court two weeks ago. Lano also
took out licenses for operation of
Shuttle board" and music ma
chimes.
The licenses were taken out un-
der a current ordinance which as
sesses $25 for each machine. The
County Board has given prelim-
mary approval to an ordinance
which will raise the price of a dis
tributor's license from $25 to
$1,000 a year. The board also is
considering increasing drastically
the cost of license for each ma
chine.
Lano, who gives an address in

Break in Water Main Cuts Off
Silver Spring Supply for 8 Hours

employees kept the highway sanded
throughout the night. Police re-
ported no serious accident, al
though many cars skidded on the
road.
The break was attributed to
temperature changes. 1t was re-
ported about noon, Mr.. Jester
said. but because of it's location
beneath the heavily travelled high
way, it was not actually reached
for about eight hours.
At about the same time two
other breaks were reported. One
was in 6-inch main at Bradley
boulevard and Nottingham drive,
Bethesda, and the other in g.
inch main at New Hampshire and

.S2Fairfax Tax Rate
Indicated at Meetinq
OF County Board

Fairfax County residents can
expect a real estate tax rate Of
81 next year.
This was indicated yesterday at
a meeting of the County Board
of Supervisors, after Assessor
Graham James reported the cur
rent re-assessment will result in
a 10 to 80 per cent increase in
valuation.
The present tax rate is $3.19. A
tax. rate of only $1.60 would be
needed to get the same revenue
from the new assessment but the
supervisors indicated 1t will cost
more money to run the county
next year - necessitating a tax
rate of approximately So.
Bills To Be Higher.
I'm other words, the tax rate
will be less. but the taxpayers
bills in most cases will be higher ,
said R. M. Loughborough, execu-
tive secretary.
Mr.. Loughborough indicated a
81 tax rate probably would not
include any additional levy the
School Board may request for con-
struction purposes, because a
sos million school, bond issue is
tied up in litigation.
Mr.. James told the county
leaders only small percentage
of landowners are coming in to
protest their new assessments. He
said that at the first four sched-
uled hearings on assessments. only
Is persons appeareds out of 500
who had the opportunity. Hear
ings are continuing each day,
with each taxpayer being given
an appointed time to appear.
Adoption In April Seen.
Mr.. James said the assessment
probably would be completed by
March l. The 1851 tax rate must
be adopted in April
The county's new health Off
Ger reported he was attempting
to work out an arrangement for
disposal of sewage in the Mount
Vernon-Engleside area where sep
tic tank permits have been denied
because of unsuitable ground con-
ditions.
He said he planned to meet
Tuesday with engineers of the
State Water Control Board and
the State Health Department to

North Virginia
Asks Funds for
Dispersal Role
Regional Planners
Seek Congress Help
To Meet Expenses

Federal aid was requested last
night for Virginia communities
which would be affected by the
proposed dispersal of Govern
ment Offices.
The Northern Virginia Regional
Planning and Economic Develop
ment Commission, meeting at
Fairfax, voted unanimously to
ask the Senate and House COM
mittees on public works to provide
assistance in surveying local
Government needs if dispersal is
approved.
The commission pledged it's full
cooperation in carrying out the
proposed plan to construct eight
new Government centers about 20
miles from the White House.
Early Funds Urged.
Bertram M. Gross of Arlington,
who proposed the resolution to
the regional commission, urged
that funds be provided early so
that the Federal buildings and
community facilities would be
completed at about the same time.
Mr.. Gross said the communities
would need financial and techni-
cal help in increasing facilities
for schools, housing, highways,
police, water. sewers and other
needs. Approval by Congress of
the dispersal plan, Mr.. Gross said,
would create immediate and
pressing problems for Northern
Virginia communities.
The commission also requested
an immediate conference with the
General Services Administration
on its tentative plans for consid-
GRAFTON of the new Government
buildings.
Earlier Vote Reeonsidered.
In other business, the regional
commission agreed to reconsider
an earlier vote on the makeup of
a proposed new National Capital
Park and Planning Commission
Previously. it was voted to ask
Congress that Virginia and Mary
land be authorized one membe,
for each local governing body and
regional planning group.
The State planning commission
er, Raymond v. Long, who at
tended last nights meeting, sug-
gested that "a more equitable
formula for membership could be
set up on the basis of population
