Possible Choices
ey The Associated Pres.

RICHMOND, Oct. 13.-virgin-
las new congressional district will
be carved out of the present 9th
district in Northern Virginia and
the lines Of the present I'd and Sd
congressional districts will be
altered.
That's about all the State Re-
ldistricting Commission would say
latter a meeting here yesterday
The commissions recommends
,tions for the States 10th district
will be ready November Is.
The new district probably will
consist Of Arlington and Fairfax
Counties. Alexandria and possibly
Prince William County.
Pleased With Progress.
Delegate Roy B. Davis Of Hall
fax, commission chairman, SAID
he was pleased with the progress
the commission has made. He re-
fused to say specifically what re-
apportionment the commission
had agreed on.
But. he added. there doesn't
seem to be any question that
Virginia's new 10th congressional
district will be carved from the
northeast corner of the present
9th district near Washington.
It appeared that virtually every
one Of the nine commission mem
Ibers-one from each congressional
IdiStrict-had a redistricting plan
OF his own in his brief case at
the session.
And a member of the group
indicated later that most MEM
berS kept watchful eyes on their
own political fence lines as bound
Iary shifts were discussed.
Redistricting is a duty that
falls in the General Assembly
every 10 years on the basis of the
Idecennial Federal census.
Population 3,318,68O.
Virginia'S population growth
now 3,318,680 according to the
1850 census-entitles the State to
an additional Congressman. And
by constitutional edict. the States
congressional districts must be
composed of compact and con-
tiguous territory containing as
nearly as practicable an equal
number of inhabitants.
That means that the commits
sion must make adequate recon-
Imendations to the General As
Isembly for legislation insofar as
congressional districts are con-
|cerned. The Legislature didn't I'LL
the bill in this respect in 1882 and
the State Supreme Court tossed
out the statute. resulting in the
election of Virginia's nine Con-
gressmen-at-large that year.
So, in addition to making rec
concentrations on the new 10th
district, the recommended legisla-
ton that emerges from the COM
mission doubtless will juggle the
boundaries Of some other districts
to bring district populations more
in balance. ....

program throughout the wear and
sweetheart Bakery has been in the
top 10 during 1851.
1t was also announced that
Sweetheart Bakery has been an
pointed exclusive distributor for
Tastykake and Tasty Pie. A pro-
duct that enjoyed great popularity
on the Delmarva Peninsula until
the outbreak of World War II
when material shortage caused the
Tasty Baking Company to limit
production drastically. When the
Tasty Baking Company started
baking cake back III 1914 the only
bakers cake being sold was in
large loaf cakes which were sliced
by the grOcers. Tastykake as an
individually wrapped and boxed
cake was an innovation and as it
was also a cake of top-notch quail
lty it quickly found a real place
for itself in the areas of prOduc-
ton. Over the years Tastykake
quality has been maintained and
the territory in which it is now
sold now comprise a large part
of four states. In no instance is
sold where it can not
be shipped over night. In 1880 the
Tasty Baking Company introduced
its Tasty Pie and here again a
unique product was offered to the
public. A rectangular individual
Die in a package was produced and
Ound immediate acceptance.
