Falls Church Board
Asks Parents Views
On Religious Course

Falls Church parents have been
asked by the city School Board to
express their views regarding a
proposed course in religious edu-
cation.
Mrs. Helen Regain, chairman OF
the board. made the request last
night. after the president of the
Fairfax Association of Churches
urged the board to approve such a
course, which would be taught by
mobile classroom.
For the first time in the history
Of the two-year-old School Board,
no quorum was present and no
official action was taken. But
Mrs. Regain Informally appointed
a committee to study the associa-
TONS proposal and report to the
board.
One Period a Week.
The Rev j. L. B. Williams of
Emmanuel Church-on-the- Hill,
Alexandria, president of the asso-
citation, requested that elementary
school children be released for one
period a week, provided their
parents give written approval.
Also officially requested by the
association was use of the course,
"A Nation Under God" in the
city high school. The course is
issued by the Virginia Council of
Churches and has the approval of
the State Board of Education.
Mr.. Williams said both of the
associations requests ARE thor
oughly compatible with the opin-
ion of the Attorney General in
the Commonwealth of Virginia as
to legality"
Cost of instruction and mate
rails in the elementary school
course would be borne by the
association.
Courses Submitted.
Mrs. Mary Walton Livingston,
chairman of the religious educa-
ton committee of the association,
presented for study by the COM
mittee a course in religious edu-
cation for each elementary grade.
Mr.. Williams said the Fairfax
County School Board has refused
to approve the released-time in
struction. After-school sessions
We're held at three schools last
year, he said.
The association president well
coined Mrs. Regan's suggestion
that parents be requested to ex-
press their views on the proposal.
Less than third of the chill
dren in the Northern Virginia area
receive formal religious education,
Mr.. Williams said.
Committee Members.
Appointed to the committee were
Willis H. Glover. chairman; John
A. Johnston and James S. Lay, jr.
In other informal action, Mrs.
Regain and Mr.. Glover agreed to
tomorrow some Air Force
barracks, which MAY be available
without cost for school purposes.
The buildings are at Gravelly
Point near National Airport.
Mr.. Glover said the board has
decided some type of temporary
buildings will be needed this fall.
After completion of the new high
school, he added, they could be
used for storage or other purposes.
The location this fall would prob
ably be at the rear of Madison
Elementary School, Mrs. ReganI
said.

JobIeSs Benefits
 Decline During First Quarter

Jobless benefits dropped very sharply during the past three months of this year.
 That's the report of John T. Mclaughlin, director of unem- ployment insurance, employment security commission, Juneau.
 He reported 3,184 beneficiaries drawing at least one benefit check this last quarter compared with 5,006 last year, a decline of 37 per cent. Actual cash paid out to jobless workers through March 31 thisc year totalled $1,- 500,000 last year, a drop of 45 per cent. Dependents allowances amounted to $61,6O0 during the three-month period compared with $103,000 last year, 40 per cent less.
 'The figures indicate a sharp CT decline than do the figures for the three months, Mclaughlin said. First payments for March 1850 were only one per cent less than for February 1850, but this year the March first payments
Valley frontiersman., 1951-05-04

were 40 per cent less, 764 as com pared with 1872.
 Increase in weekly benefit a4 mount, from maximum of $25 to a maximum of $50, goes into effect on all new benefit years begun after June 30.
 New Ruling
 Likewise, beginning July 1st beneficiaries will receive de- pendents' allowances for the full term of their unemployment, ranging from eight to 25 weeks, depending upon previous earn ings. Before the enactment of the bill passed by the last terri torial legislature, a worker who was entitled to maximum bene- fits, or $25 week to a total of $625, who was also entitled to de- pendents' allowances, was re- stricted to a total benefit of $62S regardless of the length of his unemployment.
 After June 30th, an unem- ployed worker entitled to a max imum, who has three dependents residing in Alaska, will draw $50 per week basic benefits, plus SIS allowance for dependents, or $48 a week or $48 for 25 weeks if el- igible in all respects.
