Census Data Cited
To Support Fairfax
School Bond Issue
The Fairfax School Bond Is

The Fairfax School Bond Is
sue Cooperating Committee
yesterday released figures to
show that children already liv-
ing in the county account for
most of the increased enrolment
to be accommodated by the pro-
posed new $11 million school
construction bond issue.
One of the objections raised
by foes of the bond issue was
that it was planned largely to
keep pace with continued real
estate development which may
not materialiZe.
Jacob Fisher, chairman Of the
cooperating committees re-
search work, stated yesterday
that 28,400 children already are
living in the county who will be
of school age in the fall of 1865.
Looks to FAN Of 1855.
The $11 million bond issue is
planned to meet enrolment
through the fall Of 1855. The
school board estimates the en-
rollment will reach about $4,000
by that time-an increase Of
about 10000 over the present
enrolment.
Mr.. Fisher reached his conclu-
sion from official 1850 census
figures. and from results of a
private census in new subdivi-
sions built since 1850.
The $11 million bond issue is
to be voted February 3, together
with an $50, 900 bond issue pro-
poSal to help finance construc-
ton of a county health center

The Maryland National Cap

petition for commercial zoning Of

The Prince Georges County

Since then, however, the sur

The commission said develop
ment of the triangular artca as
a park would not be in the public
interest and would be hazardous.
If the land is rezoned to COM

hopes to offer it at public sale

The commission added it would
use the money to acquire and de-
velop additional park land.
Aid Park Program.
The commission said it has
limited funds at it's disposal for
park purchases and development,
and the additional money would
aid the park program.
At the same time. a valuable
piece of commercial land would
be added to county tax rolls, the
commission noted.
The commission also promised
to see that the tract is developed

Arlington Board Refuses to Lift
Orderon Firemen s Coat Marks
Volunteers Protest
Over W Stirs
Stormy Session

The dispute over painting V's
on the coats of Arlington volun-
teer firemen was adjudged "a
tempest in a teapot" at yeSter-
days County Board meeting.
But before the tempest blew
over, spectators had witnessed
the stormiest board meeting
since the departure from the
board of Daniel A. Dugan and
his non-partisan colleagues.
The board refused to reverse
the order issued by County
Manager A. r. Lundberg, Di-
rector Of Public Safety Carlisle
Johnstone and Fire Chief A. c.
Scheffel. They had directed that
a v be painted on the coat Of
each volunteer. Mr.. Lundberg
said the move was designed to
make it easier to account for
county property assigned to vol
unteers. The volunteers OBJ
jected to the symbol as discrimi-
nation between them and paid
firemen.
Conference Proposed.
Robert A. Peck, Republican,
chairman Of the board, sug-
gested that the Volunteer Fire
mems Association submit it's
protest in writing to the county
manager, and asked the man
ager to meet with representa-
tives of the association.
Other board members agreed
to this proposal and Mr.. Lund-
berg said it would be carried out.
Board member Alvin F. Kimel,
after listening to volunteers, the
manager and Commemorative S
Attorney William j. Hassan on
the subject, said he thought they
ought to be ashamed of them
selves.
Spanking Suggested.
Mr.. Kimmel said that all par
ties to the controversy should be
spanked. The airing Of such a
grievance in public, he declared,
doesn't accomplish anything.
He urged that they "sit around
a table and discuss it like honest
to-goodness grown men,"
Mr.. Hassan, showing some inn
patience during the board men,
ber's remarks, jumped up to say,
IF I'm going to be spanked in

remarks about it,"
The commemorative attorney
said he was not taking sides in
the argument. He said he was
brought into it only after county
officials foresaw a possible cur
tailment Of the fire departments
service to the public.
Attorney Must Intercede.
Mr.. Hassan said that his duties
as commemorative attorney re-
quire him to intercede in any
case where the public welfare
is threatened. He added he will
continue that policy "for the next
three years. the remainder Of
his term.
John Paul Jones. former pres
ident of the Arlington County
Volunteer Firemen's Association
and q spokesman for the volun-
teers. agreed with Mr.. Kimmel
and Mr.. Lundberg that the dis
pute is "a tempest in a teapot. +"

Mr.. Jones said, "and not with

National Pike Section
Dedicated at Urbana;
McKe|din Rained Out
By 9 stoff eorre.pendent q The star

FREDERICK, Md, Jan. "a
The first fve-mile section Of the
new Washington National pike
was dedicated today. but Gov.
McKeldin was rained out.
The Governor, who seldom
misses an opportunity to snip a
ribbon and pass out some Of his
autographed photos, decided the
weather this morning was fit only
for dedicating duck ponds.
Actually the sun was shining
by 1880 am, when Russell H.
Mccain. chairman of the State
Roads Commission, decided to
go ahead without the Governor.
A crowd of about rs officials and
motorists had waited an hour
through intermittent showers
for the Governor to show up.
RamSburg Pinch Hits.
State Senator Jacob r. Rams
burg, Republican, of Frederick
County, pinch hit for Gov. Nc
Keldin. Delegate Melvin H. Derr,
Republican, of Frederick held
the ribbon for him.
Then everybody hoped in
their cars and drove the length
of the new dual-lane section con-
Meeting Route Is, just south of
here, with Urbana, near the
Montgomery County border.
The Roads Commission is now
working on a second smile Sec
ton from Urbana southwark to
Hyattstown. in Montgomery. 1t
hopes to open that this summer
A third section of about the
same length, connecting Hyatts-
town and Clarksburg, is to be
opened by the end of this year,
Mr.. Mccain said.
Until more sections Of the new
limited access highway are
opened. the smile stretch dedi-
Gated today will not be of much
use to motorists, unless they're
out for a Sunday drive.
DetOur Necessary.
Driving from Washington to
Frederick, for example, a motor
ist would have to detour a halt
mile west off Route 24O at
Urbana to get on the new high
way. When he had driven along
it's five miles to the intersection
with Route IS, it would be neces-
sarp to drive up Route Is about
three miles. to the old 240 in
order to reach Frederick.
Eventually, the commission
hopes to extend the dual-lane,
limited access road all the way
from Frederick to Washington
at Seven Locks road.
Rights of way already have
been obtained between Frederick
and Route 11S, Old Germantown
road, in Montgomery County
Mr.. Mccain said. The pike
which is a relocation Of Route
24O will have by-paSses on botf
the east and west sides of Fred
erick connecting with Route 40

did get to Frederick in time fol

RICHMOND, Va, Jan. a.
one-tenth of all Virginia's pub
lie school teachers are. teaching

Most Are in Grade Schools.
Almost 81 per cent of the sub
standard group are in county
schools. Elementary teachers
hold 81 per cent Of the emerg-
e1lcy certificates, compared to 9
per cent in the high schools,
said the YEA report.
Less than / per cent of Ne
gro teachers hold substandard
licenses. while IA per cent, or
about one out Of seven, of white
teachers are in that class.
Eight localities can boast that
all their teachers are properly
certificated. These are North
ampton, Nottoway, Orange.
Southampton, Alexandra, CharI-
ottesville, Martinsville and Rad
ford.
Those localities with the high
est percentage of teachers with
substandard certificates include

the teachers in that category:
Tazewell. 38.9 per cent; Buchan-
an, 37.7 per cent, and Carroll,

Food Dealers Say
Milk Price Violates
.Unfoir Sales Act
BY the Asseeiofsd Press

RICHMOND, Va, Jan. "a
The Virginia Food Dealers As
sociation today accused the State
Milk Commission of violating the
State Unfair Sales Act in setting
minimum retail milk prices in
the Arlington-Alexandria area.
s. Frank Straus. executive
secretary Of the association, said
he had written a letter to Attor-
ney General j. Lindsay Almond,
jr.. bringing this complaint to
his attention
Mr.. Straus said the Unfair
Sales Act provides a minimum
markup for retailers Of 6 per cent
over wholesale cost. He stated
that the present minimum
markup on milk in the Arling-
ton-Alexandria area affords a
markup of only two and half
per cent. far below any practic-
able cost basis"
Mark Turner of Herndon,
chairman of the State Milk Com
mission, refused request for a
hearing to consider changing
that market price. Mr.. Straus
said.
Reached at his home. Mr..
Turner said that at the time the
commission set the minimum
markup for the Arlington-Alex-
andria area it checked the State
Unfair Sales Act to make certain
it did not violate that law.
