Floyd Kirby Named
As 7th Member Of
Fairfax School Board

The size of the Fairfax School
Board was increased from six to
seven members yesterday, with
the addition of Floyd Kirby of
Chesterbrook.
The Board of County Super
viSors voted to increase the
School Board to give it the same
number of members as there are
supervisors.
The number of supervisors re-
Gently was increased from six to
seven through redistricting. C..
B. Runyon is the new seventh
supervisor.
1t was Mr.. Runyon who moved
to increase the School Board
size, and he promptly nominated
Mr.. Kirby. This was in keeping
with policy established by the
supervisors. when they took over
appointment of School Board
members with change in the
form of government in 1852.
Each of the six supervisors at
that time nominated one School
Board member.
nolax, NFok:o,. Yosk
Mrs. Anne Wilkins, supervisor
from George Mason district,
asked that appointment of Mr..
Kirby be deferred She said he
might be qualified, but most
supervisors did not know him
and should have an opportunity
to study his qualifications.
II know we agreed each super
visor would recommend one
school board member" said Mrs.
Wilkins, but let us realize that
all of us are responsible for the
entire school board"
G. Wallace Carper. chairman,
defended the nomination. He
said no one had questioned the
school board selections of the
other six supervisors in 1852. and
he saw no reason to treat Mr.
Runyon differently. He said he
assumed Mr.. Runyon had looked
into Mr.. Kirby's qualifications
and found them satisfactory.
Mr.. Runyon said Mr.. Kirby is
certified public accountant.
privately employed at the Capt.
tol. Mr.. Kirby is the son of a
former Fairfax sheriff, Eppe
Kirby. Mr.. Runyon said Mr..
Kirby has children in Fairfax
schools.
6-to-1 Vote.
His motion to appoint Mr..
Kirby carried with 6-to-1 vote,
with Mrs. Wilkins dissenting.
Supervisor Arthur Shaffer
recommended that the county
consider tax on property
transactions to help meet grow
ing costs. He said the COM
munity of Bristol. Pa. imposed
a l per cent sales tax on real
estate transactions and that he
thinks the idea may be good for
Fairfax.
I'VE have to find some new
source of revenue, or we'll be
taxed out of existence" said Mr.
Shaffer.
His suggestion was referred to
the Fairfax County Tax Study
Commission recently appointed
by the supervisors.
Bucknell Tract RezOned.
The supervisors yesterday re-
zoned the 160-acre Bucknell tract
south of Marian Forest from
rural to suburban residential.
Representatives of the Mount
Vernon and wellington Heights
Citizens Associations protested
the rezoning, principally because
they said it would jeopardize the
scenic beauty of the Mount
Vernon boulevard.
The property lies between the
boulevard and Fort Hunt road.
Glenn U. Richards, a member
of the Bucknell Syndicate. Inc,
which proposes to develop the
property, said it is planned to
keep as many trees as possible
and build homes to sell for
$4,000 upwards. MI. Richards
declared the property is prac-
tically surrounded by suburban
Zoning.

Board Of Trade Backs
PoIice-Fireman Pay Raise

The Washington Board of
Trade yesterday supported the
principle Of a pay raise for Dis

it should be on the 10 per cent
basis proposed by the Commis-
SionerS.
The board sent a letter to
Chairman Case of the Senate
District Committee outlining it's
support of the raise. The board
said it feels that because of the
Districts current budget troubles
any pay raise should be kept
within the 10 per cent proposed
by the Commissioners.
The 10 per cent proposal would
cost an estimated $2.6 million

The bidding:
North East South West
Pass Pass 4 4heartS Pass

Neither Mr.. Champion nor
his partner could find the values
to come into the auction and
four hearts became the contract.
Mr.. Champion led the king of
spades. When Mrs. Keen flashed
the nine spot, she continued the
suit.
Miss Brash ruffed the second
trick, entered dummy with a
small diamond to the ace and
led back the six of hearts. When
Mrs. Keen played low, she
promptly f1nessed the ten.
Mr.. Meek couldn't bear to
watch. He held his hand over
his eyes. When he looked again,
he saw that the ten had held
and that Miss Brash, showing
no particular elation, was busily
cashing her three top trumps to
clear the suit. Thus she won
five heart tricks, five diamonds
and the ace of clubs, making
f1Ve-odd.
The fineSse of the ten of
hearts on the first lead of
trumps was somewhat sensa-
tional-looking, but a necessary
safety play.
The prime purpose of the play
was not to get trumps out as
quickly as possible, although if
the ten held it would be very
pleasant. Miss Brash's main
idea was to lose the trump trick,
II one needed to be lost, at
time when a trump remained
on the board.
To put it another way, sup
pose she had played her three
top hearts as soon as she got
in. hoping they broke 3-3. Then,
If they did not break, the only
play would be to try and run
the diamonds. The defender
holding the good jack of trumps
would ruff specifically the
third lead of diamonds and re-
turn heart. Rufflng this heart
would take Miss BraSh's last
trump and then she would end
up leading from her club hold
ing.
If the ten-of-hearts finesse
lost. Miss Brash's trump hold
Ing could not be reduced further
because another spade could be
ruffed in dummy.
Miss BraSh explained all this
to Mr.. Meek, but even so he
moved around to watch some
one else for the next deal.

We liked the color film pre-
sented by the Tuna Fish Re
search Foundation. 1t corrected
many of our previous ideas as
to how this versatile food fish is
caught and processed. We didn't
know, for instance, that tuna
fishing is done with hooks and
lines and live bait. When the
clipper locates a school of tuna,
a fisherman called "chummer"
dips into the tank of live bait
and throws it overheard to at
tract tuna to the vessel. The
tuna strike and the fishing'S on.
Men stand at water level in
racks along side the clipper and
pull them in as fast as they can
throw out the line. Bait is con-
tinually being cast over the side
to keep the tuna close. Tuna in
one school run pretty much OF
size. To cope with the different
weights of fish, multiple pole
fishing is used. For 80 to SO
pound fish, two men are re-
quired; if above so pounds, there
are three men on a line.
Since the tuna clippers are out
as long as 3 to 4 months at a
time, the holds are equipped to
carry live bait going out and
frozen tuna on the return trip.
AS soon as the boat returns to
home base it heads straight for
the docks behind the cannerieS
for unloading. From here the
professors take over. The tuna
IS cleaned, steamed and cooled.
Then cut to size. packed in cans
and again cooked 90 minutes in
q paSteuriZation process.
At luncheon we had a choice
of three tuna entrees: A casse-
role with ripe olives and green
limas, a sweet-sour dish served
over Chinese noodles and a
nodded salad. You'll see these

STICKING PANS;
COLE SLAW;
QUERY?


mrs. K. W. G., Silver Spring.
In regard to sticking frying
pans, I've always used iron
skillets, but this method will
do no harm and may help with
your aluminium ones. Place
enough salad or olive oil in the
skillet to cover the bottom
thoroughly. Place skillet on
low burner, as low as possible
and allow to heat about an
hour. When cool, wash with
hot Soapy water. Each time
my Skillets start to stick I
use this method, and it keeps
them from sticking for long
time.
For spicy cole slaw, I use
this basic recipe and then add
the spices we like. For two
people I use 2 tablespoons
sugar, 2 tablespoons vinegar,
2 tablespoons mayonnaise. Mix
m yonn aise and sugar
thoroughly and add vinegar
and spices.

/ have a hand crocheted bed
spread that 1 have had II or
13 years, and use it every
winter. 1t gets washed at the
end of the season and once or
twice during the season. I
wash it in the washer, wringer
type, put it through the
Wringer. When I hang it up I
put a clothes pin in each
scallop across the top and bot
tom on two lines. After it is
dried, pull the sides to get it
back in shape. I also have a
handmade table cloth which is
washed quite often. I put it on
the lines the same. way, but I
steam-iron it. I hope this
works for you.
