Special Election
IsSought toFi|I
Fairfax Board
Donovun to File Bill
On Report Of County
Redistricting
BY a ssar siaff Correspondent

RICHMOND, Jan. ia bill
authorizing a special election to
name a seventh member of the
Fairfax County Board of Super
visors after the county is re-
districted is being prepared for
General Assembly action.
State Senator John A. K. Dono-
van Of Fairfax yesterday turned
down a request by the county's
Democratic Committee that all
OF the supervisors posts be filled
in another election when the
local redistricting is completed.
Mr.. Donovan said he believed this
would be unconstitutional.
Consequently, he proposes to
amend the optional forms act,
under which Fairfax County
changed over to the executive
form Of government on January
u. He would permit the six su-
pervisors who were elected last
November and who assumed Office
on Jnauary /. to petition the court
to call a special election to fill
the vacancy" created by the ad-
|dition OF a seventh magisterial
district.
The seventh member would be
elected at large and serve until
the expiration Of the terms OF
the present supervisors.
Redistricting Report Due.
A Redistricting Commission
soon is expected to bring in its
report on dividing the county
into seven areas.
Mr.. Donovan said that under
the Constitution it is impossible
to abolish a position which has
been filled by a general election
until the terms of the Office holder
expires. The present six super
visors were elected for four-yeal
terms. He cited section 112 of
the Constitution which requires
that those elected shall hold their
Offices for four years.
The Optional Forms Act pro-
vides that the judge Of the Cir
cult Court shall fill vacancies, but
MIR. Donovan said he is opposed
to this in principle because, 81
believe the courts would prefer
to stick to their judicial duties. y
Question of Board Control.
The question is politically sig
nificant to urban and rural fac
tions within the county, each
trying to control the board.
Mr.. Donovan would not discuss
the political aspects involved, but
said he had an alternate proposal
if his preferred plan fails. to pass
That. he said, would be ar
amendment to the law to permit
the supervisors, themselves, to
elect a member to I'LL the newly
created vacancy.
Mr.. Donovan, the freshman
Senator representing Alexandria
Falls Church and Fairfax ano
Prince William Counties, was
given two major committee as
sigpments by the Senate Steering
Committee.
In addition to Mr.. Donovan's
assignments. another major STEP
up by a Northern Virginia legis.
lator was made by Senator
Charles r. Fenwick of Arlington
who was appointed to the Finance
Committee for the first time.

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-In most
American business offices there
comes a pause in the days occupa-
ton that is known as 'the coffee
hour"
In fact there usually are two
pauses-one in the morning. the
other in the afternoon.
It has grown so insidiously that
it is now a generally accepted fact
of Office life. and is taken as a
normal working condition. Most
employers now put up with it.
They have come to realize that
grownups, like children. have to
have a periodic recess to let off
their pentup nervous energy.
That has taken q lot of fun out
of what used to be thrilling
adventure. Fifteen to Is years ago
the following ominous notice was
a common sight on company bull
letin boards.
"It has come to the manage
ment's attention that a number of
employees are leaving their desk
during their hours of employment
to get coffee. This will not be
Evening star., 1952-12-04
Bosses Are Taking the Joy
And Flavor From Coffee Hour

tolerated and must cease at once"
That, Of course, was a fat dare
and a challenge. An employe would
spend an hour every morning
figuring q new way to sneak down
the back stairs. gulp a quick cup
of coffee, and get back before he
was missed. He felt like a naughty
child disobeying his parents, and
always wondered fearfully:
IF I bump into the boss, will
he fire me?"
Oh, the coffee hour was a fine
thing in those days. If you met
another employe doing the same
thing, you both had a secret to
share: You were putting some
thing over on the boss. Every one
Ion the payroll became linked in
Ia partnership of conspiracy. You
all were getting away with some
thing forbidden.
Gradually the practice became
so widespread that most manage
ments came to realize the rule
against it was as unenforceable
as the prohibition law. So they
quit putting up the notices.
Many went even further. Fol-
lowing the British custom, they
started trundling little coffee and
soft drink carts about twice a
day so that the employees could
have an interlude of gossip and
|refreshment at their desks. This
is now commonplace in many
firms. and this compromise gives
the employer one big advantage:
He at least knows where the en-
ployes are.
An Accepted Institution.
Today the coffee hour is an ac-
cepted institution. It has infected
the bosses themselves. They de-
cided. "Well. if all the hired hands
are going downstairs to get a cup
of coffee, I might as well, too. I
could use q little snack myself"
So what happens? You are sit
ting there enjoying a cup Of
steaming brew, contentedly aware
that you are having it on company
time and are Sinking your duty,
when the boss himself sits down
on the next stool.
"How's everything?" He says
cheerfully, ordering himself a
cup. by the way. how are you
coming along with that Jones
matter?"
For the next IS minutes you
both null the Jones matter over
and finally reach a decision.
When you go back to your desk
you feel vaguely cheated, and
don't know why.
The reason is simple. You
haven't pulled one over the boss's
eyes at all. He has pulled one on
you. Far from letting you escape
from your job, the boss has got
more real action from you in IS
minutes at the coffee counter than
he could in three hours upstairs.
OF course, that's why he is the
boss-because he knows how to
get the most out of you. And to-
day he thinks the coffee hour is
a fine way to get more work done,
and only wonders why he didn't
think up the idea himself.
