Citizens Ask
More Fairfax
School Funds,
Seek $500 Increase
In Teachers Pay;
Board Meets Today
By Mary Lou Werner

Confronted with overwhelm-
ing pleas for higher teachers
salaries, more teachers and in
creased taxes, the Fairfax County
School Board was meeting today
to take final action on its pro.
posed 1954-55 budget.
Demands for more spending
instead of less were heaped on
the school board last night at a
public hearing on a proposed
$7.6 million budget for the COM
ing fiscal year.
A crowd of $50 attended and
nearly three dozen spoke. All
but a few insisted that the
budget should be higher. When
a showing of hands was re-
quested. only one was raised
against further increases.
The budget as proposed by the
school board is $12 million above
the current budget, and appar-
emily requires a 31-cent increase
in the county tax rate. The in
creases urged last night would
add another Is cents to the tax
rate, bringing the total 1854 in
crease for schools to 40 cents.
Requested Increases.
The specific increases re-
Quested were:
/. A 5000 increase in the
teacher salary scale. instead of
the 500 increase proposed by the
school board. The 5000 increase
would give the county a salary
scale of $4,000 to $500 for
teachers with A. B. degrees.
Representatives of parent-teacher
associations insisted the 5000
salary scale increase was neces-
sary to bring Fairfax County
salaries in line with those Of
neighboring communities. The
increase would cost the county
$106,820 and require an addi-
tional S cents on the tax levy.
2. Provision for II teachers
above the ISL new teachers pro-
posed by the school board. This
would reduce the pupil teacher
ratio to SOL. instead of the $685.
l as set up in the budget. The
current budget was based on a
pupil-teacher ratio of 3l4 to l
in elementary schools. Those in
favor of increasing the number
of teachers insisted the county
should aim to decrease the size
of classes, instead of increasing
them. It was estimated the II
additional teachers would add
another Is cents to the tax rate.
The traditional foes of higher
taxes and increased spending
were conspicuously absent from
the hearing. although it was
widely publicized.
Citizens Oppose.
The hand raised against the
5000 teacher salary scale increase
was that of Jones Jasper, OF
road.
School board members said
they tried to keep the budget as
low as possible because they
didn't feel the county could afA
ford to spend more for schools.
Thorleif Ellison. Mount YER
non district, told the school board
he was glad the final decision was
in their hands-"and not in the
hands of this crowd here tonight.
All they know is spend, spend,
spend"
After final action by the school
board, the budget goes to the
Board of County Supervisors,
which will hold a public hearing
on the complete county budget
April 10.

Falls Church Council
Clears Way 10 Plan
School Bond Use

The Falls Church City Council
last night took steps to put
funds from the $500, 900 school
bond issue Just approved into
new construction as soon as the
money becomes available, even
though legality of the issue may
be contested.
The council authorized the
school board to spend up to
$4,000 to hire architects to draw
plans for the school additions it
will put up with the bond money
1t also decided to put the sale
Of the bonds in the hands of the
State Local Debt Commission
instead of a private bond broker
Two school board members
have said they will file a pro-
test Of last Wednesdays referen-
dunn. which approved the bond
issue by a slim 16-vote margin.
Attacked as Irregular.
The authorization for archi-
tect fees provoked a rancorous
discussion among council mem
berS. Before the vote to author
ice. with only Charles E. Kellogg
and w. Raymond Taylor dissent
ing. Mr.. Kellogg called the pro-
posed action "presumptuous and
irregular"
Mr.. Kellogg said he objected
to the authorization because it
was requested by School Board
Chairman John A. johnson and
not by the entire School Board.
Council Donald G. Benn de-
clared. however. that the action
was only a time-saving device
and was subject to the action
Of the School Board as a whole.
He said no money could be spent
without a vote of the board.
Councilman Grant Hillker said
the appearance of councilman
at the last School Board meet
ing was "disgraceful." Council
man Taylor had appeared at the
meeting in question to ask the
School Board to reconsider its
building plans in view Of the
substantial negative vote" cast
in the referendum.
2-Acre Site Offered.
In other action the council
referred to the planning COM
mission an offer Of land for a
possible new municipal center.
Sherman M. Wells offered to
sell the city a 2-acre tract at ZIG
East Fairfax street.
The council also instructed the
city attorney to start injunction
proceedings against a builder
who. they said, has been keeping
heavy excavating equipment
overnight on a vacant lot in
violation Of coming ordinances.
The property, at Greenway
Downs and South Washington
street. is zoned commercial. It is
next door," one member said,
to Mayor Eldon Colby's home.
Consideration of the city
budget for next year was deferred
until the next meeting, at City
Manager w. Rodes Woodbury's
request. Mr.. Woodbury. said he
hoped by then to be ready with
detailed recommendations.

Why Grow Old?
By Josephine bowman

It is surprising how many
people are a bit timid or self
conscious. Only ,wholehearted
extroverts are able to feel COM
pletely at ease on all occasions,
and even these. when intelli-
gent, sometimes have qualn1s.
It requires self-confldence to
take the center Of the stage and
one does not have to be on the
stage or screen in order to find
this characteristic valuable.
Every single day Of our lives we
have the center Of the stage in
minor ways.
Perhaps you are making a
speech or reading the minutes
at your club or going down the
aisle of a church or are a brides
snnaid in q wedding. More usual,
sperhaps you are just entering q
9roomful of people at some social
function. Many women expert
sence stage fright when In this
situation.

EXPENSES ON TRIP.


mrs. A. H. O., Washington
In answer to Mrs. J. F.
NICK. s inquiry about expenses
on a trip. Last November my
husband and I took an ex-
tended trip from Washington
to Dallas, Tex, which was
about 5000 miles long. and
since ] kept an accurate
record, I can give you some
statistics.
We drove q 1852 medium
priced car and used 2l0 gall
Ions Of gas and 5 quarts Of
oil. incidentally. this trip took
two weeks. We stopped in
hotels most Of the time. al
though we checked with q
few motels and even in Mo-
vember were surprised to find
that we were unable to get &C
comodations without reserva-
tons In advance. We usually
started out in the morning
about 8 o'clock and finished
driving for the day about 6
in the evening. We averaged
about 400 miles a day but
found that this was tireSome
and did not give us time to-
do much sightseeing. SurpriS-
ingly enough, we had fairly
good luck with meals and
found that truckers stops
offer good breakfasts and
lunches. Dinner was usually in
the city where we stopped for
the night and the medium
priced restaurants offered good
food. Our entire trip, not in
GLIDING hotel bills, cost us
about $3.50. Three days of
this was spent with friends.
but the amount can be low
cred, as we spent $31 in
tips and $34 on souvenirs.
The AAA. If you are a mem
Der, offers a wonderful serv-
ice to its members in planning
trips. Expenses are broken
down and we found they were
very near being correct. They
also have a directory which
lists hotels and approved mo-
tells, which would be invalu-
able, since we found it wise
to use motels with the AAA
approval. This would also aid
in making reservations in adj
vance. I hope this information
will be of some help and since
I have other statistics too
numerous to mention, ] will
be happy to pass it on to Mrs.
NICK. if she will write me
through RICH.

It's too soon to tell how it

that rayon rugs made recently
have a fiber especially devel-
oped for hard wear.
AS for having new rugs made
from old by the 20" company.
several people I know who have
done this are quite pleased
with the reversible feature.
You can also send old clothes
along with old rugs.
Remember, when buying any
rug, get a good pad.
miss r. NJ. F., SilUer Spring.
I have had very good exper-
fence with rugs made from old
ones by the firm you indicated

They are wonderful. wear like

sweeper or light vacuum. They
will also take old clothes, but
pick the best of them and only
