program has not been satisfac-
tory" and as a result "a serious
pollution situation exists in the
Appomattox River into which
Petersburg discharges untreated
sewage"

Fairfax County's summer play
ground program shows how far a
little money can be stretched with
Ia lot of neighborly cooperation,
With only a $500 budget allo-
Gated by the County's Community
Chest, the Fairfax Recreation
Association has managed this
summer to open % public play
|grounds-each with a paid super
visor and well-rounded program
of activities to keep the youngsters
busy.
The Recreation Association, a
Red Feather agency. had hoped
to get $40. 900 appropriated by the
Fairfax County Board of Super
|visors. But that had to give way
to increased needs Of the schools.
$4,000 Was Amount Sought.
With $40, 900, the Recreation As
ISOLATION could have expanded its
program to at least IS play
grounds. and could have kept 1t
going nine weeks instead Of five.
1t was never even suggested,
however, that the summer play
ground idea be abandoned.
First, it was necessary to pay
Mrs. Ilah Osborn. the director
and supervisors at the play
grounds from the chest funds.
The various civic and PTA
groups that belong to the Recrea-
ton Association carried on from
there. They raised additional
funds which in some cases were
used to hire more playground su-
lpervisors, to supplement the sal
aries paid out of the Chest ap-
preparation, and to buy equip
ment.
Carnival Raises Fund.
The Lincolnia School PTA
raised it's supplemental funds with
| a carnival, a cold plate supper and
a square dance.
The Mount Vernon Citizens AS
sociation, which is composed OF a
number of civic groups in Mount
Vernon District, donated proceeds
from it's annual George Washing
toms Birthday Ball.
A rummage sale and neighbor-
hood dinner brought in funds for
the Hillwood Square playground
Even the children caught the
Idea. Some of them got together
and made ceramics. which they
sold through local merchants to
raise money for their summer
Raising money wasn't all that
had to be done.
At Vienna, where the play
ground is sponsored by the vi
lenna Recreation Association, par
Ients for several years have been
working on the Vienna Park.
Baseball backstops and other
playground equipment were
erected at the Holm Hall play
ground by members Of the Mount
Vernon Citizens Association.

the participating groups in the

More than 200 residents Of the

Der to oppose rezoning Of the De-

A residential.
Commercial Activity Feared.
Nearby residents protested that
the rezoning would bring COM
mercial property too close to their
homes.
The council withdrew It's own
request to rezone the Taylor Run
parkway property from A resi-
dental to B residential which
would have permitted row houses
The council had filed the petition
for rezoning because it felt a
higher price would be received for
the property with rezoned
classification. The planning COM
mission recommended against the
Irezoning, however. and about 90
nearby residents appeared to pro-
test any change.
