Fairfax School Board to Add
Member, Not From Herndon

The Supreme Court decision
upset an earlier decision in Fair
fax Circuit Court that Herndon
was entitled to a representative
under a special act Of the Gen.
eral Assembly. Herndon had a
representative on the school
board for many years before
Fairfax adopted the county exec
utive form of government on
January /, 1852.
When the new form of gov
ernment took effect, however,
the Fairfax supervisors held that
Herndon no longer was entitled
to a special School Board repre-:
sentative. The supervisors acted
on the advice Of Common
wealth's Attorney Hugh Marsh,
who said that the county exec
utive law would take precedence
over the special act giving Hern-
don q School Board representa-
tive.
Herndon sent Mrs. Thelma
Detwiler as its representative to
the county School Board after
the new government took effect,
but the School Board refused to
seat her. This prompted the
litigation that ended in yester-
days decision.

The Fairfax County School
Board is about to get seventh

The Virginia Supreme Court

Herndon was not entitled to
special representation on the

The School Board now has
six members, and the representa-
tive sought by Herndon would
have been the seventh.
Now that the Herndon ques-
ton has been settled, county Of
f1cials said there definitely would
be a seventh School Board mem
ber appointed as soon as a new
redistricting plan takes effect,
creating a seventh magisterial
district in the county. This is
expected to take place within
the next several months, and
money has been provided in the
budget to pay a seventh School
Board member.
County officials said the new
member would come from what

sentation on the School Board

Virginia Court Rules
Spray Maker Must
Warn Of Dangers
ey the Associated Press

RICHMOND. AprI1 21.-The
Virginia State Supreme Court of
Appeals split yesterday with two
strong dissents-when it held
that an insecticide manufacturer
should warn of dangers under
unusual circumstances to the
vegetation being sprayed.
The court entered a final de-
cree reversing the Albemarle
Circuit Court and awarding $780,
900 damages to Roy McClana-
han and Oscar T. Detamore as
a result of destruction of the
1949 and 1850 apple crops of the
Carriers Mountain Orchard, near
Monticello in Albemarle County.
Verdict Set Aside.
In the lower court, the jury
had awarded the plaintiffs $780,
900 but the trial judge had set
aside the verdict and found for
the defendant manufacturer.
California Spray-Chemical Corp.
The case grew out of the use
of TAG, an insecticide for the
control of scab on the trees in
the spring of 1949. Following ap-
plication of the spray, testimony
showed, the leaves on the trees
died, causing the 1949 crop to be
a total failure and also the 1850
crop because fruit buds which
normally would have formed in
the spring and summer of 1949
failed to do so.- The plaintiffs
sought damages of $75,048.
California Spray Chemical
contended its product, which was
new at the time, was not ap-
piled in accordance with the di-
rections in that it was sprayed
on the trees after petal fall. The
orchardists, on the other hand,
claimed more sufficient warning
of dangers, If applied after the
petal fall, should have been given.
Duty to Warn OF Risk.
The court majority said if the
defendant knew the spray would
kill the leaves if applied when
they were badly infected, it was
the duty of the defendant to
warn of this admittedly foresee-
able risk" The majority opin-
ion was written by Justice Lem
uel F. Smith and concurred in
with an accompanying opinion
by Justices A. c. Buchanan and
Kennon c. Whittle.
Justice c. Vernon Spratley
wrote a dissent, concurred in by
Justice John w. Eggleston, in
which he said "the majority
opinion fashions a broad, new
law Of negligence in conflict with
that which we have followed for
many years-one apt to cause
embarrassment in the future"
