Briefiinq
BY DEGENE CLARKE, JR.

bv a score of 81-17 at Phoenix
Union gymnasium Friday night,
december 18. This game seemed
more like a scrimmage than
a contest. Although this. year the
| Monarchs set record of points
scored for one game. while playing
Camelback, they. will. still have to
90 a little further. to break last
seasons record which was, set
against Gila Bend @{91-38). Charles
Christopher, in the game with
Camelback, was highpoint man for
Carver with seventeen points. Mr..
Littleton led Camelback with only
six points. The junior varsity also
won their game by a close score.
The Monarchs, after getting ac-
ouainted with Phoenix Union gym
at the expense of Camelback, beat
the Phoenix Union Coyotes 52-34,
December 49, The Monarchs were
up for this game and felt opportu-
nifty knocking at the door when
they produced. a. ten point lead at
half-tinle. This was the Monarchs
first time to- beat the Coyotes on
their own floor. Carver made 1t
their first victory. at Carver gym
last year. This was the Coyotes first
defeat of the season while Carver
enjoyed their sixth straight win
and second city-league victory,
Charles Christopher was again
high point-man. with seventeen
points. He was followed closely by
Charles Lucky with sixteen points.
Joey Nunez led the Coyotes with
sixteen points also. The Carver
junior varsity again won their
game, by a score of 36-27.
January 5, the Monarchs will go
to Litchfield Park where they will
tangle with basketball squad that
will give them a battle of game.
Carver beat Litchfield last season,
62-49, but they are expecting a.
team with more class and ability
than last year. Statistics rate both
teams even since they have each
beaten the State Class B Cham
pions (Scottsdale) by an eight
point margin. This game. should
provide lots of excitement and en-
tertainment.

Arlington Federation
Urges $500 Increase
In Teachers Salaries

A proposed $500 pay increase
for Arlington County school
teachers in the coming fiscal
year has the approval of the
Arlington Civic Federation.
The increase, which would
affect teachers not now receiv-
ing the maximum under the
present salary scale, was recon-
mended in a budget proposal
submitted to the school board by
Supt. T. Edward Rutter. It
would cost an estimated 1915 900.
Supports Holiday Policy.
The federation last night also
voted to support the school board
policy of holding classes on Ar
mistice Day and George Wash
ington's Birthday. This policy
of the board has been criticized
by some residents.
In other actions, the group
voted to seek suspension of a
proposed fare increase requested
by the Alexandria, Bancroft g.
Washington Bus Co. and to OPP
pose a revision in operating
schedules sought by the Wash
ington, Virginia & Maryland
Coach Co. (Arnold Line), which
would increase company revenue
by about 100000 a year.
Opponents of the plan offered
by Mr.. Rutter said the salary
scale for teachers should be re-
vised to provide quicker adj
vancement for teachers as they
gain experience.
Mr.. Rutter's plan would in
crease the starting salary scale
from $4,000 to $500 for teach
ers with bachelors degrees and
from $4,000 to $1,000 for those
with masters degrees. No change
is proposed in the maximums
of $4,000 for bachelor degree
holders and $1,000 for those
with masters degrees.
Hearing Set Tomorrow.
The school board will hold a
public hearing at 8 pm. tomor-
row on the overall budget total
ing $7.2 million presented by
Mr.. RIltter.
A County Board policy OF
withholding coming recommen-
dations of the planning COM
mission until the day the board
is to act on rezoning requests
was criticized by the federation
The group adopted a resolution
of its community development
committee asking that pertinent
information on rezoning appli-
cations be released prior to the
board meeting at which the re-
coming requests are considered.
| Approval of the school board
policy of conducting classes on
Armistice Day and George Wash
ington's Birthday was voiced by
the federation because special
observanceS are held in the
schools and parents are able to
visit while classes are in session,

New School Budqet
For Fairfax May Go
10 Supervisors Today

Fairfax County school officials
were revising their proposed
budget today to include changes
approved by the school board at
it's meeting yesterday.
After two hours of changing
revenue estimates, cutting some
items from the budget and in
serting some new ones. no one
was sure what total change had
been made in the original &c.
492. 1876 proposal.
It was clear, however, that the
board members felt the Board
of County Supervisors would not
approve a budget calling for a
tax increase of "a cents per 500
of property valuation. County
Executive Carlton c. Massey told
a public hearing last Friday the
original school board proposal
would require that much of an
increase in the current $2.O5
school tax rate.
The supervisors meet today
and may receive the amended
school budget before they ad-
journ. They will set a public
hearing on the total county
budget. including school funds.
No Decision on Pay.
The School Board considered a
recommended increase in teach
ers' salaries but decided that,
if there is to be a cut in that
item, it will have to be made by
the supervisors. Teacher pay
would be increased 500 or 5000,
depending on length of service,
and the maximum for those with
B.A. degrees would rise from
$4,000 to $4,000.
Board members conceded,
however, that if the supervisors
make a big reduction in the
school budget, one effect will be
to reduce the 1925, 900 recon-
mended for salary increases.
An item of 100000 for free
textbooks for all students was
ordered reduced by the School
Board. If the supervisors ap-
prove, free textbooks will be sup
piled to students in the first
seven grades, at a cost of $74,580
Higher grade student would con-
tinue to pay a book rental fee,
which would. be increased from
$3.50 to $4.25 a year.
Special Teachers Approved.
Hiring of special teachers for
remedial reading, music, art and
speech correction at a cost OF
$4,000 was approved yesterday
Board members said there was
a demand at the public hearing
that these services be included in
the budget.
An item of $50, 500 for pur-
chase of new school buses was
eliminated. Supt w. T. Wood
son said Is new buses already
are on order and replacement OF
seven other vehicles is provided
for in the proposed budget.
