ChHdren's Own Code

Some months ago, DR.. Carl F.
Hansen, associate superintend-
ent of schools, suggested that all
pupils should think about their
conduct, should even write down
the rules on how to be good
boys and girls.
Several schools acted on his
suggestion. The Shepherd Ele-
mentary School made a project
of it. The Student Council
seized the idea and drew up a
list of rules.
Their parents saw it and liked
1t. They drew up their own
list on how parents can help
young people to keep them from
becoming juvenile delinquentS.
The parents list has achieved
considerable notice and was pub
lished in full in yesterdays Star
The children's list which inspired
it has had less notice.
This is how it read:
We, the children Of Shepherd
School, in order to become better
citizens and to show our appre-
citation for our many privileges
set up for ourselves the follow
ing responsibilities:
/. Do my best at all times.
2. Listen courteously and learn
all I can.
3. Be courteous at all times.
4. Keep my mind and body
healthy and clean.
5. Be prompt and use my time
wisely.
s. Be trustworthy in little
9ainSs as well as in big things.

Arlington Will Offer
School Bondsfor Sale

The Arlington School Board
has decided to try to sell $780,
600 in bonds on November 80 to
continue its construction pro-
gram.
DR.. Curtis E. Tuthill, at a
special board meeting last night,
said he expected that continual
litigation against board members
for the past year probably will
boost the interest rate on the
bonds.
The board agreed that DR..
Tuthill will appoint three per-
sons conversant with the bond
market who would give an opin-
ion on whether the court actions
resulted in higher interest cost.
If there is difference, the
board declared its intention to
bring suit against the parties
responsible for the litigation in
an attempt to recover this
amount.
In other business, the board
approved a resolution to request
the County Board to transfer
about $4,000 to the School
Board to buy six school buses
and for other purposes.

Alexandra INSTALLING
12-Inch Wafer Main

The Alexandria Water Co. has
started installation of a new 12-
inch water main through the old
section of Alexandria to provide
better fire protection.
The 100000 project will carry
the new supplementary main %
blocks through the downtown
area. The main will run from
First and Henry streets, south
on Henry to Montgomery street,
along Montgomery to Royal and
south on Royal to Jefferson
street.

new main would solve the low
pressure water problem along
the waterfront industrial area.
Installation of the main was
recommended by the National
Board of Fire Underwriters. The
Alexandria Fire Department had
difficulty combating several wa
ter-front warehouse blazes be-
cause of low water pressure.
Work is expected to be COM
pleted in about a month.

today was considering strong
protests from county policemen
and firemen over a plan to abol-
ish the present retirement sys-
tenn and replace it with a new
retirement plan based on social
security.
During hearing, which lasted
more than four hours last night,
the board explained that the new
proposal would enable the county
to offer retirement benefits for
the first time to about 800
employees.
Spokesman for the police and
fire associations said they felt
the plan would cost them more
and result in reduced benefits.
Green Opposes Plan.
John Locke Green, Arlington
attorney. representing the two
groups, argued that the board
has a legal and moral response

retirement plan for policemen

L School Buses
Digs Into Emergency
Fund for $40, 900
For Operation

The Montgomery County
Council yesterday dug deeply
into it's emergency fund to pro-
duce $4,000 to operate IL new
buses being bought by the county
school board.
The council also approved a
transfer of $4,000 from teacher
salary funds to capital outlay
to help pay for the new buses.
The action on the school bus
purchases touched off an unsuc-
cessful bid by Councilman Louis
A. Gravelle to cut an even bigger
slice out of the emergency fund
to provide for a pay increase for
county police.
Mr.. Gravelle sought to have
$4,000 of the county's emer-
gency fund earmarked for the
police pay boost.
School Supt. Forbes H. Norris
made a personal appeal to the
council for the school bus funds.
He said present buses are seri-
ously overcrowded, dangerous,
uncomfortable and illegal. The
salary surplus resulted when the
school board hired IS teachers
less than had been anticipated,
he said.
Monarch Opposes Action.
The school bus action was
strongly opposed by j. Louis
Monarch. who noted that the
council during the June budget
sessions had agreed to buy only
five busesVall of them replace
mentS.
Councilman Gravelle and
council President George F. Mes
bitt clashed over the formers
rider proposal on the bus motion.
Mr.. Nesbitt ruled the move
out of order and was supported
by the other councilmen when
Mr.. Gravelle appealed his ruling.
Mr.. Nesbitt said, however. the
police pay raise could not be
given without recommendation
from the Personnel Board. The
board and the county manager
have both recommended against
the pay increase:
Councilwoman Stella B. Werner
also clashed with Mr.. Nesbitt
yesterday as he permitted the
council to act on matters of
business by agenda number only
Mrs. Werner said the council
meeting was public and some
