Send Kid to Comp
It's Hard to Get Along on $32
While Dad is Getting Well

With the Boyers. it's been a
run Of hard luck recently.
It's tough for the time being,
but it won't last forever.
When they came to Washing
ton from the South two years
ago, they were lucky enough to
rent a f1ye-room house, furn-
ished. T
The house is in a crowded
Southwest Washington neigh
borhood. The children coundn't
believe that yards could be so
small. The rooms are tiny, and
the furniture is dilapidated.
But not every landlady will
take a family with six children.
Ray Boyer was the type Of man
who never missed a days work.
Rain or shine, he'd be on the
job. When the boss needed a
man to work on Sunday, he knew
he could count on Ray.
Then last January 3, there was
an accident on a construction
job. Mr.. Boyer went to the hos
pital with a broken thigh. He
came home last Friday.
Idleness Gets on Nerves.
He gets around on crutches,
and the doctor says eventually
he'll be as good as new. But it's
hard to say when he can go
back to work. He takes treat
ments three times a week. The
enforced idleness gets on his
nerves.
Mrs. Boyer has been running
the house on the $32-a-week
compensation, plus some help
from some of the men Mr.. Boyer
worked with. The rent takes
$75 a month, with another $40
for utilities.

to keep up with the grocery bill
The hardest problem was

to cut down on that. But luckily.
the kids like vegetables. They
don't care much about meat.
"And I was blessed by one
thing: I didn't have any sick
ness with them.
II had to borrow some to
keep going, but I wouldn't like
to ask for relief. would rather
get along OH my own"
Older Children Help.
The older children spend a
lot of time at a settlement house
in the neighborhood. But they
also help Mrs. Boyer with the
housework and the care Of s.
old Martha and 3-year-old Tim.
Much as she would miss their
help. Mrs. Boyer wants her two
elder daughters to have a vaca-
tion at summer camp this year.
|, Cynthia, 10, is a shy little girl.
She went to camp last year and
wanted to go right back. Her
mother said she seemed less
timid after she came back from
camp.
Penny. g.. is more talkative.
She is especially good at man
aging the smaller children. She
organizes games. Cynthia has
told her about camp. and she's
anxious to go. She has never had
a vacation. Her mother thinks
1t would do her good.
Whether or not they get to
go depends on the generosity Of
Washington residents. Would you
like to help sensitive little Gym
thia relax In the friendly atmos-
phere of camp and let Penny
have her first vacation?

Stanley Tells
Why He Delays
Rep|ytoQueries
Will Issue Statements
To All People, He
Says at Richmond
BY ne A,,osiot.d Pres,

RICHMOND, June 4.-Thomas
3. Stanley says he hasn't an
swereds lists of questions asked
him by women'S group because,
he wants to express his views ''in
public statements to all the peo-
ple."
The former Representative
stopped in Luray yesterday in
his campaign to beat State Sen
ator Charles r. Fenwick in the
race for the Democratic NOM
ination for Governor in the July
II primary.
Mr.. Stanley had failed to an
swer Questionnaires submitted
by the Virginia League of Wom-
en- Voters and the State Legisla-
tive Committee of the National
Council of Jewish Women.
Will Reply to All.
Mr.. Stanley said the fact he
had not answered the question:
naires should not be taken as
an intention "in any way to ig-
more these questionnaires or to
bypass these organizations. +
know that they are made up of
many fine Virginians who are
interested in the State and its
welfare"
7 am of the opinion, he
said, that the answers to these
questions should be given in
public statements to all the peo-
pie and directed to every citizen
Of Virginia. It is my inten-
ton to make my views known
on all major issues between now
and election"
Senator Fenwick. meanwhile,
had answered both the question:
naireS and another submitted
by the Public Utilities Commit
tee Of the Arlington Civic Fed
Grafton.
Dispute Over Budget.
Senator Fenwick, in a state
ment yesterday, noted that Mr..
Stanley had attacked his pro-
poSa1 to put the States budget
making on an annual basis.
Senator Fenwick had this to
say: How can Stanley, who
claims to be a businessman,
justify the budgeting which, dur
ing the last two years, has been
wrong by over SIG million?a
Surely Mr.. Stanley wants our
budgetiue of State fiscal affairs
to be on d sound basis. =
His opposition to an interim
session Of the Legislature limited
to budgetary matters" the Ar
lington legislator said, "is typical
Of his drift program and objec-
ton to anything that is new and
progressive"
Hutchinson Hits Candidates.
In another development, Mar
tin A. Hutchinson, a leader Of
the ,anti-organization wing of
Virginia Democrats, revealed
that neither of the candidates
had answered two sets Of ques-
tionS he had mailed them.
Mr.. Hutchison'S attitude was
summed UP in a letter he wrote
to =, Glenn Jordan, one of Mr..
Stanley'S Richmond campaign
managers, in answer to Mr.. Jor-
dams request for support Of
Stanley.
".. You suggest" Mr.. Hutch
inson wrote, that I join with
you in Standing with Stanley
"As presently advised, I do
not care to either sit on the
Fence with Fenwick,' or Stand
with Stanley All we seem to
do in Virginia is sit or stand. In
any event, we sure do not move"
Mr.. Hutchinson said.

Plea for Reopening
berwyn Crossing Is
Dismissed in Court

The Prince Georges Commits
sioners request for a court
order to force reopening Of the
Berwyn (Md.) grade crossing
has been dismissed by a judge
who called. the move "a matter
of digging up a long-buried
bone"
Observing that. the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad crossing be-
tween Berwyn Heights and
Berwyn was closed in 1910 and
that the action to reopen it was
filed last fall. Circuit Judge
Charles c. Marbury said: s.
ssIhis claim is stale and long
since r1aoss-covered. 1t does not
involve a present controversy
but is somewhat of an after
thought"
Lack Of Action Cited. {
Judge Marbury pointed out
that the county commissioners
in Office in 1910 had taken no
action to prevent the closing,
He said nothing should be done
now to force the State Roads
Commission to reopen the cross
ing.
It was closed under an agree
ment between the State Roads
Commission and the railroad
The Federal Government partic-
ipated to the extent Of paying
part Of the cost of the nearby
Greenbelt overpaSs.
Waters Pushed Move.
Commissioner Edward j. Wa
ters, who lives in Berwyn Heights,
last year spanked unsuccessful ne
gotiation with the railroad and
roads commission for its reopen
ing. He later urged the court
action.
The commissioners plea con-
tended that closing of the cross
ing has caused citizens of the
area untold inconvenience and
hardship" and has virtually iso-
lated the two communities.

Residents Win
Zone Change in
Fairfax Tract
Supervisors Action
Kills PIuns for
l58-Home Project

Residents of the exclusive
Ravenwood and Sleepy Hollow
sections Of Fairfax County yes
terday won the first round of
their fight to prevent construc-
tion Of a 158-home subdivision
in their midst.
BY a 3-to-2 vote, the Board
Of County Supervisors changed
the coming classification of q
200-acre tract near Seven Cor
ners, making it impossible for
the prospective developers to
build the 158 houses planned on
a 57-acre portion Of the tract.
The 200 acres which have been
zoned residential since l941
when the county adopted its
zoning. ordinance were changed
yesterday from that classification
to rural residential. The rural
residential classification requires
lot sizes of at least q half acre.
while suburban residential re-
quirements are approximately
one-fourth Of an acre.
Feared Health Menace.
The boards action was request
ed by residents who said the
values of their property would
be decreased by the proposed
subdivision. It would create a
serious storm drainage problem
and would cause a health men
ace by overlooking the trunk
sewer running through the area,
they said.
Lytton Gibson, attorney for
Smell & Murphy. Arlington build
ing firm which owns the 57-acre
portion of the tract. said the
subdivision site was purchased
for $4,000 last March as sub
urban residential property and
that a preliminary plan for 158
homes has been approved by
county planning officials.
Approximately rs home own
ers present for the hearing and
nearly 500 others signing petit
tions claimed most of the homes
now in the area are built on lots
of a half acre or more even
though Zoning regulations per-
mitted smaller sizes. The 200
acre tract includes Ravenwood
and the Buffalo Hills develop
ment and is adjacent to Sleepy
Hollow.
Cite Bigger Revenues.
Supervisors Mrs. Anne Will
kins, Maurice w. Fox and Clar-
ence B. Jett voted for the re-
zoning. They. said residential
areas such as Sleepy Hollow
and Ravenwood should be en-
couraged and. protected be-
cause they produce more tax
revenues than the cost Of county
services require.
Chairman G. Wallace Carper
and Stuart DeBell voted against
the rezoning. Mr.. Carper pre-
dicted the boards action would
discourage development in the
county. People who own land
should have some assurance that
it will stay in one classification
and not be changed by the
board on its own notion"
Yesterdays hearing was called
by the board itself, which has
authority under the zoning or
dinance to advertise a property
for rezoning on its own motion.
To Appeal Decision.
The board overrode the Plan
ming Commission which recon-
mended the tract remain subur-
ban residential. The Planning
Commission vote Monday night
was 8 to /.
Mr.. Gibson said the boards
decision would be appealed to the
Circuit Court.
In another action, the board
employed A. M. Bloxton, Falls
Church attorney. to handle the
county's Injunction suit against
the Virginia Concrete Co. The
board is seeking to halt opera
tions Of the company because it
claims it Is violating the zoning
ordinance.

Greenbrier Farms, nursery.
imported the geese from Africa
for use as grass cutters. The nur-
sery says an African goose plucks
grass but will not touch shrubbery.
This makes the critter pretty i'm
portant to nurserymen.
But are these geese poultry? The
question is vital to the county's
finances. State law requires the
county to pay it's citizens for loss
of poultry killed by stray dogs
Pool said poultry is something
you eat. The geese i'm question. he
said, are employees of Greenbrier
