Farm Girl Reigns as Queen
Over Calvert Fair Tonight

Farmers, homemakers and
youthful understudies started the
fair yesterday, when they f1ocked
to the main exhibit building
with their best specimens of field
and garden products, livestock
and domestic art.
They will vie for awards only
with their neighbors. Calvert's
fair limits competition to resi-
dents of the county.
All entries except livestock will
be judged today. Winning cattle,
sheep and swine will be picked
before the fair closes tomorrow.
Calvert County, the States
smallest, uses no Superlatives
when alluding to the size, num-
ber of entries or attendance of
it's fair. But in the quality of it's
field and home products, the
little subdivision bows to no
other.
In it's light, sandy soil, men
grow some of the areas finest
tobacco; in its homes, women
still bake, can and sew with the
deft touch of the Colonials.

Get the temporary buildings
off the Mall.
That's the message embodied
in an exhibit. which opened yes
terday at the headquarters of
the American Institute of Archi-
tects, 1735 New York avenue
NV. This is keyed to the re-
gional meeting of the Middle At
lantic District of the Ala, to
be held here in the Hotel Statler
from october 81 to %.
700 Architects Expected.
This gathering will bring to
the National Capital architects
from Pennsylvania, New Jersey,

and West Virginia. Urban rede-
velopment will be the prime sub
ject of the conference, at which

Plans are in the making to

various chapters of the Ala.
The exhibit is a concrete fol-
lowup of action taken by the
ALA at its 85th annual conven-
ton at Seattle in June at which
a resolution condemning the con-
tinued use of the temporary
buildings was passed. The reso-
luton also pledged the organi-
zation's active support to restore
the Mall to the purposes for
which it was planned-a great
central park for the National
Capital, f1anked by monumental
buildings for public use.
Planners Cooperate.

Goodness Develops
On Fairfax Board 10
Joint Sewage Plant

Fairfax County shows signs of
growing cool to the proposed
joint sewage disposal system with
Alexandria,
The Board of County Super
visors yesterday decided to con-
fer with G.. Hubbard Massey. con-
sulting engineer. about pros and
cons of the cooperative plan.
Mrs. Anne Wilkins. supervisor
from Falls Church district,
brought the matter to the boards
attention:
"Some people in the county
still are not sure Fairfax is doing
the best thing to go in with
Alexandria on construction of a
sewage disposal plant. I'D like
to have the advice of Mr.. Mas
sey."
Mr.. Massey has served as con-
sulting engineer to the county
on number of sewage projects.
"This is a big thing" said Su-
pervisor Stuart DeBell. I'VE
ought to be careful before we go
in on this"
Lack of Equity Protested.
Supervisor Maurice Fox said
he did not like the idea Of pay
ing county money for use of the
disposal plant year after year
and never gaining any equity in
the plant. He said it would be
just like renting use of the plant.
G. Wallace Carper, chairman,
said Fairfax had given Alexan-
dria the impression the county
was going ahead with the joint
program.
After the meeting, he said Mr..
Massey had raised several queS-
tions about the joint program
which ~ thought should be in
vestigat0. Mr.. Fox said Mr..
Massey suggested it might be
cheaper to expand the Fairfax
sewage disposal plant now under
construction and install new
trunk line, instead of piping ex-
cess Fairfax sewage to the pro-
posed new Alexandria plant.
Joined in Preparing Plans.
County Executive c. c. Massey
reminded the supervisors they
had authorized the Alexandria
Sanitation Authority to have
plans prepared for a plant to
serve both Jurisdictions. He said
the county is committed to pay
it's share for the preparation of
those plans.
The joint Alexandria Fairfax
idea evolved from the regional
sewage survey of nearby Vir-
ginia completed in 1852. En-
gineers estimate Alexandria and
Fairfax can save total of $2.4
million in initial construction by
cooperating.

Northern Virginia
Juvenile Detention
Home Recommended

Construction of a 25-bed
juvenile detention home to serve
the Northern Virginia area is
proposed in a report adopted by
a citizens advisory committee
representing two cities and three
counties.
Representatives of Arlington,
Fairfax and Loudoun Counties
and Alexandria and Falls Church
voted to recommend adoption of
the report by the Northern Vir-
ginia Regional Planning and Eco
nomic Development Commission.
The group is an advisory COM
mittee to the commission.
The report, prepared by Fred
erick Ward, jr., Southern di-
rector of the National Probation
and Parole Association, suggests
such facility be located in Fair
fax County, near Falls Church.
It was suggested that the cost
of putting up a one-story home
like type of building, with fool
proof, yet non-jaillike security
features" be prorated among
the five communities on a popu-
lation basis.
State Aid on Operation.
Operating costs, including two
thirds of the salaries of person.
mel employed at the detention
home, would be paid by the
State, Mr.. Ward reported.
The report said cooperative
effort in providing a regional
facility would be less costly than
each community attempting to
provide adequate detention facil-
tiles on its own. The detention
home would be used only for
children who must be kept in
in secure custody, not those who
can safely be returned to the
custody of their own homes or
to foster homes.
The regional facility should
not be made a place for COM
mitment by the courts, nor
should the children sent there
be expected to stay more than
10 days as rule, the report
recommends.
Sees Jail as Danger.
Mr.. Ward reported that $40
youngsters were detained in the
five communities during a To-
month period ended last May /.
About 95 per cent of these
children were held in jails and
police lockups in the area, he
said.
Such experience "often tends
to aggravate and compound the
child'S problems" Mr.. Ward
said.
There is considerable evidence
to show the psychological dam
age of jailing children with de-
linquent tendencies the
chances of heading in the di-
rection of a criminal career are
greatly increased" he added.
The report recommends med
ical treatment, school work, Or
ganized play and expert guild
ance services be included in the
plan of operation of the regional
home.
The advisory group recon-
mended that the commission
analyze the cost of building a
detention home and recommend
to the five communities govern
ing bodies that the joint pro-
gram be launched.

"A review of the planning for
this key section of the city is
important to preserve the con-
tinuity of effort which is essen
tiaI to the well-ordered growth
of any community" said the
Ala.
cat this time when the pres
ence of large numbers of tempo
