Girl, n, Becomes Master Plumber
By Brian Bell, Jr.

Lillian Ann Baumbach started
playing with wrenches instead of
dolls when she was 6 years old.
Now she's the first woman master
plumber in the area.
Now 81 and very pretty, Miss
Baumbach, who lives at 4439
North Fifteenth street, Arlington,
is the service manager of her
fathers plumbing business. She
got her masters license last week.
Despite the fact Miss Baumbach
is in an almost exclusively mascu-
line profession, aS 5-foot-7 and
ITO pounds she is on the slender
side and very feminine.
'My father has been In the
plumbing business for % years"
Miss Baumbach said, and I start

also wait on the customers in the
store and try to tell them what
they want after they tell me
what's wrong"
Though, as Miss Baumbach
puts it, there are oodles of mas
ter plumbers around" it's quite an
accomplishment to be one. The
normal procedure is five years or
more experience as an apprentice
and journeyman before taking the
masters examination.
It's not easy either. Six men

Arlington Plans
Vote This Spring
On School Bonds
February rs Hearing
Scheduled on Type
Of Buildings Needed

Plans for another Arlington
school bond issue referendum this
spring today were announced by
Colin C.. Macpherson, Arlington
School Board chairman.
Mr.. Macpherson said the
amount of bonds has not been de-
cided. He invited all county resi-
dents to attend a public hearing
February 26 at the new Stratford
Junior High School to discuss
what type of buildings should be
constructed.
Last fall county voters defeated
IA proposed $7.5 million school
construction bond issue. It's fail
|ure was blamed on charges that
the School: Board was putting up
too elaborate buildings.
Amount Yet to Be Decided.
In announcing the boards plan,
Mr.. Macpherson declared:
1.-The board has made no deci-
sion as to the amount of bonds
lit will ask the voters to authorize
This will depend in part upon
the type of building that will be
constructed. We cannot set
tie on the amount of money to be
included in the bond election un-
til we are certain of the type of
building the majority of citizens
want" .
The School Board chairman
said that during the last three
years complete schools have been
built with money from past bond
issues.
'We believe complete schools
are the best type to build because
it is more expensive to add needed
facilities later than to include
them in the original building" Mr..
Macpherson said. However, we
want to construct the type of
building the majority of citizens
want"
Favored at Hearing.
A majority of citizens who at
tended a public hearing sponsored
by the School Board on January
20 favored financing school con-
struction principally with bond
money. Mr.. Macpherson recalled.
There is no escaping the fact
that there will be at least 1900
more pupils in Arlington schools
next fall than we have now. In
the fall of 1852 we will have more
than $4,000 students, compared
with the present enrolment of
16,100. We must provide schools
for these children" he declared.
