Arlington T Federation
Calls for Commission
To Plan City Charter

The Arlington Civic Federation
last night urged the County
Board to take steps toward Gre
alton of a charter commission
which would prepare new pro-
posed city charter.
The group acted on recommen-
dation of it's committee on local
government. headed by Mrs
Shirley Wheeler. Mrs. Wheeler
said the proposed charter for
Arlington, adopted in 1946 by
the Virginia Legislature and re-
jected in a special election last
November by Arlington residents,
is inadequate.
The federation also asked i'm
mediate action by county author
tiles to replace the present pen
sion and retirement system for
county employees with a new one.
This was a recommendation of
the federation's revenues and
expenditures committee which
reported that only half of the
county's employees are covered
in the present plan.
The basis of any new pension
and retirement plan should be
Federal Social Security with a
local retirement plan added to
it, the committee stated.
Rap Firing of Mrs. Simpson.
The County Board came under
fire by Mrs. Wheeler's committee
and a federation delegate, Rob-
ert w. Cox, former non-partisan
member of the board, for its
dismissal of Mrs. Ruby G. Simp-
son, also a federation delegate,
as clerk to the board.
Mrs. Wheeler said the dis
missal Of Mrs. Simpson was car
lington's first political firing of
the last decade" She said her
committee plans to make more
extensive study of the action and
of functions which the board
clerk should be expected to per-
form in the future.
Mr.. Cox labeled Mrs. Simp-
sons dismissal as one of the
most brutal and one of the
politically lowest events I have
ever witnessed"
Three WalkOut.
Three of the five County Board
members, Chairman Robert A.
Peck, DR.. Robert H. Detwiler and
George M. Rowzee left the meet
ing seconds before Mr.. Cox at
tackled the dismissal. They had
been invited to attend the meet
ing.
Mrs. Simpson and another
delegate, William c. Hull, were
commended for having served
more than Is years each as dele
gates to the organization.
In another action the fedora
tion urged the County Board to
review operations of the county
automotive repair shop to deter
mine if it is more economical
than a privately operated repair
shop. It also recommended a
study to determine whether it is
cheaper for the county to pur-
chase cars and trucks or rent au-
tomotive equipment as Alexan-
dria does.

me and I would go for days not
talking to any one.
Then I overheard one Of the
grips on the set saying how
stuck-up he thought I was. This
was so untrue that I knew I
would have to do something to
make myself friendly"
What did you do?" I wanted
to know.
"I made myself join people, to
laugh and talk with them" Dor

I forced myself and after a while
I got over being frightened.
I'm high school I was an awful
tomboy and not very popular
with the other sex. I had a
crush on a boy and even though
had no escort, I got all dressed
up and went to the high school
party. But I just stood around
hoping he'd ask me to dance.
But no one did. Finally, I
couldn't stand being a wallflower
any more and went home and
cried myself to sleep.
THE reason I mention this is
to encourage any schoolgirl who
is unhappy because she is shy"
Dorothy added. This shyness
doesn't mean she won't get out
of life even more than those
around her who seem so popu-

she had children. But mothers

an impressive example Of this is

How about this?" I asked
Dorothy one afternoon in her
luxurious dressing room which is
furnished in authentic early Vic
torian. How do you keep that

But most of the time I get all the

Dorothy chatted with me
about her family and seemed as
genuinely wrapped up in her
children as any mother with no
thought of a career.
"I consider marriage every bit
as important as acting" Dorothy
confessed. "You have to if you
want to make a go of it. Being
a wife and a mother is career

planned. "They know so much
about the value of foods today
that you can diet with safety and
ease"
I asked Dorothy to tell me her
top beauty secret.
II think the most important
thing is to keep a good complex

think it's a matter of keeping

II don't know how special it
is," Dorothy commented, "but
it's thorough. In order to be
sure I have tiSSued all the cream

which I make myself. I make
this wash by mixing equal parts
Of distilled water and witch hazel
