Boys Cooking Class Makes Football Seem Easy
By Gene Goodwin

Fourteen Prince Georges County
high school boys this year are
learning how to become successful
husbands through a new course in
home economics for males.
The course at the new North
western High School is teaching
them, among other things, how to
cook and sew and how to purchase
and maintain household equip
ment, such as refrigerators, stoves
and washing machines. They also
are learning techniques of eti-
quette and good grooming and the
care and selection of their clothes.
Later they will receive instruc-
tion in buying and renting homes
and apartments, some of the con-
Struction problems of building a
home and interior decoration.
Don't get the idea that it's sissy
stuff. Ten of the IA boys in the
class are members of the schools
county championship football
team, another is on the wrestling
squad and one is a cross-country
runner.
The course is the first of its
kind ever offered in Prince
Georges County schools, although
some high schools have had chef
clubs for bows.
Most of the students in North
Westerns new course admit they
enrolled in it for a lark because
they thought it would be snap.
But 1t has turned out to be neither
la lark nor a snap. 81
Despite their boyish jesting, it
lis obvious that most of the lads
feel they are learning much Of
practical value.
AS one of them put it: "I'm go
ing to make some girl very happy
some day."
Another commented with a
smile: Since I plan to be a
bachelor. I've got to learn this
stuff or else"
AS for the hopes that the course
would be snap, the boys did not
take into account Mrs. Dorthea
Umbach. a new home economics
teacher from st. Paul, MINI, who
lis teaching the new class. Mrs.
Umbach not only is enthusiastic
and dead serious about the idea
behind the course; she is putting
her students through a program
for the year that must make foot
ball seem relaxing.

FaIIs Church Board
Plans Bond Issue
For School Urgency

A new school construction bond
issue proposal is being prepared
by the Falls Church School Board
| John A. Johnson, the boarc
chairman, told about 200 mem.
bers Of the Madison Elementary
School PTA last night that ar
estimate of urgent school needs
will be presented to the City
Council in the near future.
Fifteen new classrooms will be
required to meet the enrolment
next September, John H. Cline
the boards vice chairman, told
the group. Mr.. Cline said the
space would be needed even il
13 substandard classrooms remain
in use, but he foresaw no pos
Isibility of completing construction
before the coming school year.
Temporary Buildings Involved.
The substandard classrooms
which meet State requirements
but not the standards of the
board. are temporary buildings or
the Madison and Jefferson school
grounds and the 75-year-old
Jefferson building itself.
Prospective enrolment figures
for 1884 show a need for 20 new
|classrooms. II the substandard
claSSroomS were no longer used
however, 28 new classrooms would
be needed this fall and 80 by
September, 1858.
A 100000 bond issue approved
In 1949 and part Of a $500, 900
bond issue passed last year are
financing Mount Daniel Elemen-
tary School, which is nearing
completion, and the George Mason
Junior Senior High School. slated
for occupancy in September.
For 325 Pupils.
Mount Daniel has four class
rooms and the high school will
have Is teaching areas including
three classrooms and laboratories,
shops and other facilities. Com
Portable capacity Of the building
will be 325 students, but MIR. Cline
predicted an enrolment of 413 in
September and 480 a year later.
Falls Church is in an excellent
position to finance a good school
system because of its status as an
independent school district and
because its per capita wealth per
pupil, based on true property
values, is the highest for any city
in the State, Mr.. Johnson said.
The city now has $1.3 million
in borrowing power within the
legal limit Of 18 per cent of
assessed property valuation, the
chairman declared.

Potomac Bridge
Civic Federation
Refers Proposal to .
Highway Committee

Construction of a new bridge
across the Potomac River between
Arlington County and the District
is being studied by the Arlington
Civic Federation.
The proposal was referred to
the federation'S Highway Commit
tee last night with instructions to
report at the February federation
DR.. Victor Meyers of the Fort
Myer Heights Association brought
the proposal for a new bridge be-
fore the federation.
Another Bridge Imperative"
DR.. Meyers said he thought a
new bridge could be built from
Wilson boulevard, crossing the
Potomac River at Roosevelt
Island, and entering the District
at New Hampshire avenue and e
street NV.
1--WE certainly have reached the
stage where it is imperative that
we have a new bridge across the
Potomac River" he said. He
added that the exact location was
not too important, as long as
another bridge is built between
Arlington and the District.
The highway committee also
was asked to include in its study
the possibility of erecting a tenn
porary span to ease traffic con-
gestion on existing bridges.
On recommendation of the local
government committee, the fed
Grafton voted to reopen discussion
Of a proposed increase in the size
of the Arlington County Board
from five to seven members.
Expansion Opposed.
The local government committee
said it thought any increase was
unnecessary and undesirable :.
since five members can perform
their functions on a county wide
basis adequately under the struc-
ture Of a county manager form OF
government"
The federation last October in
dorsed a resolution asking for q
referendum to decide whether the
county board membership should
be increased.
The local government commit
tees new recommendation to re-
verse that action will be voted on
at the February meeting Of the
Federation.
The new recommendation was
contained in an eight-page reply
that the local government COM
mittee presented in answer to
criticisms of the Waycroft-W Wood
lawn Citizens Association. The
latter group recently took issu0
with recommendations of the Fed
Grafton for amendments to the
Arlington County manager plan.
Seen as More Economical.
Defending a recommendation
for a centralized department Of
finance in place of the several
fiscal Offices that the county now
has, the local government COM
mittee declared that it would be
more economical.
The Waycroft- Woodlawn group
also had critized a proposal to
grant the County Board the power
to investigate any County depart
ment and subpoena witnesses. The
local government committee that
such investigatory powers were
routine procedure for urban Vir-
ginia communities.
The local government COMMITTEES
said it also Is routine practive for
the governing bodies of. urban
communities to have legal counsel
apart from the Commonwealth g
Attorneys Office. The Waycroft-
Woodlawn group advocated in-
creasing personnel in the COM
monwealth's Attorneys office.

Fish don't like extremes in

fish died during abnormally

Newspaper Suggests
Southern Convention
To Back Eisenhower

The Hattiesburg American called

to nominate Gen. Eisenhower fol
President of a States Rights ticket
"The Democratic convention die
nothing except play Truman
lpolitics, and it is the South's duty
to repudiate the Truman choices
for President and Vice President,
the paper said in a front page
editorial.
States Rights Convention.
Nothing that the Democrats
did at the convention changes the
opinion of this newspaper that
the South should hold a States
Rights convention in August and
nominate Gen. Eisenhower for
President.
Immediately after Gen. Eisen-
hower's nomination by the Re-
publican Party, the American
made this suggestion in an edi-
torial July IL.
The new editorial concluded:
Few Southerns are stupid
Ienought to believe that the Tru-
man bunch backtracked on the
loyalty pledge and then nominated
Ian Alabama Senator for Vice
President because of an actual
change Of feelings.
All in Same Sack.
Truman and the labor radicals
anointed Stevenson; then Steven
son selected Sparkman of Alabama
for his running mate. Sparkman
lis known as a New Dealer-Fair
Dealer. All this puts Truman,
stevenson and Sparkman in the
same sack.
Gen. Eisenhower is the man
who can make this country safe
from a continuation of Tru-
maniSrn, which is as deadly to true
democracy as are some OF the
other isms. ...
