"a TOWN
REFORM

Seems that prisoners every
where are clamoring for "re-
FORM. That is, these boys
think they are being abused
and they want what they call
better treatment, more privil-
eyes and fancier food.
We don't hold with brutal
ity nor unsanitary conditions
but, by George. we think that
this so-called reform idea can
be carried a bit too far!
Now this feeling doesn't hold
for this country alone. 1t is
the same in Korea. Take a
bunch of bully boys who
would gladly murder their
grandmothers, put 'em behind
bars (iron bars) and they
start screaming to high
heaven that they're being mall
treated.
Same way with the inmates
of several home country pris-
sons we've been reading about
lately. They want this and
that and delivered thus and
SO. These are the same people
who. if the situation were re-
versed, would make you and /
pick with the chickens and
would probably prod us with
a hay fork in the process. No
sir! It just don't make sense!
There must be a happy
medium" somewhere. Maybe
if we just used our muscles
instead of flexing them 1t
would do some good. If this
keeps up some wise guy will
form a union.
GAMES
See by the papers that the
once popular card games of
Finch and Rook are again
coming to the fore. Must get
deck of each. Used to play
these when a kid but have for
got. Anyone for Rook?
pANTiEs
Those college boys who
have been staging panty
raids" on the girls dormitories
have been reprimanded etc.
Some have been dismissed so
that the old draft board can
get 'em. Our own cure would
be to make 'ern wear the
panties!

SUGGESTION
After witnessing the fine

Candidate for Board
AssaiIs QUESTIONABLE
On Arlington Schools

Wesley w. Cooper, Democratic
nominee for the Arlington Coun-
ty Board, yesterday attacked a
QUESTIONABLE sent to candidates
by the Citizens Committee for
School Improvement as device to
make all candidates except Nom
partisans appear to be anti-school.
Mr.. Cooper protested that the
questions are loaded" and he
said the committee would publish
replies "as edited and warped by
themselves"
Although he declined to answer
the QUESTIONABLE, Mr.. Cooper said
he has always been glad to make
his positions on school affairs
known to any citizen who has an
honest question to ask"
Questions Are Quoted.
Among the 20 questions sent
out by the committee are these
Do you think that the present
Arlington school program is too
good for Arlington?
Do you have confidence in the
present members of the elected
Arlington School Board?
Do you feel that the educa-
tional members of the elected
Arlington schools is basically
sound and developing at least
satisfactorily?
Are you willing to be identified
with the record on school mat
tiers of the individuals on the
committees officially supporting
your candidacy?
Pro-School Viewpoint.
Mr.. Cooper said the commit
tee started out as a sincere effort
for school improvement which
has through the years turned into
"a radical affiliate of the Non-par-
tisan party"
In a letter accompanying the
questionnaires sent to candidates
James c. Pettee, chairman of the
c. c. S. l.. said, "You will no doubt
notice that many of the questions
are leading in nature and are
cast to express a pro-school point
of view. This is done deliberately, -
he added. with. a view to bring
ing out the school issues if, in
deed, there are any in this cam
'paign."
The group has questioned can
|didateS in elections since 1947
and has publicized the replies.

ing, an opinion on legality of the
sale. If there are no legal obstacles,
preparations are to be made to sell
the bonds as soon as possible.

hold local Office. The three mem
berS were ousted last month and
successors have taken Office to
serve until after the special elec-
