The student, Paul McQuain,
has been out Of classes since
Thursday after the principal.
Elwood B. Mason, asked him to
60 home and change into more
conventionally-cut trousers.

j. j. Tarallo. principal Of
Richard Montgomery High
School, Rockville, sent q boy
home this morning for the same
reason. The youth changed his
pants and returned TO classes.
The Western-style fad among
certain youngsters is narrow in
the legs, tight around the hips
and short IN the seat. Some are
closed by buttons instead Of
zippers. It is supposed to make
a boy look like a cowboy whose
pants dried after coming in out

Fairfax Police
On 5.Day Week
July
Reduced Hours
Require Hiring
OF 10 More Men

Fairfax County police 60 on q
five-day work week beginning
July /.
Reduction Of the current six
day week for police by one day
was authorized by the Board Of.
County Supervisors yesterday. to
coincide with the beginning of
the 1955-6 fiscal year.
Supervisor c. B. Runyon of
fered the resolution granting
police the shorter week after q
delegation from the Fairfax Po-
lice Association requested it. The
delegation. led by Chief Carl
Macintosh and 1t. Grafton
Wells, told the supervisors the
police would prefer q shorter
week than six day week with
extra pay for the sixth day.
Requires 10 More Men.
Chief Macintosh said it will
take 10 additional policemen to
maintain the same amount Of
police coverage that is now pro-
vided with the 70-nan force
working six-day week. He
said he believes the 10 addi-
tional men can be employed by
July /.
No other police department
in nearby Virginia has q five-
day week.
Fairfax police also stand to
share In some pay raises incor-
porated in the new pay plan for
all county employees, due to be
adopted tomorrow. But on the
average they viii get smaller
raises than other county EN-
ployes.
The completed pay plan. as
recommended by James o.
Yarger. who was employed by
the county to draw up 4 per-
sonael and pay classification
system. provides an averave
overall increase Of 4.6 per cent.
This comes to $77,21S above the
present total county payroll Of
l.646.856. not including school
personnel.
Classics Jobs.
The plan Classics each job in
the county and divides each
classification into six grades ac-
cording to years of experience.
Non-teaching school personnel
also are being classified by Mr..
Yarger, but their pay plan goes
before the School Board for
approval.
The supervisors gave tentative
approval to the county's proposed
welfare budget for 1856. The
total proposed welfare budget
comes to $412.856. which is a
$3l.452 increase above last
years. More than $4,000 of
the increase is for direct welfare
assistance.
The county would have to put
up $15l,988 Of the proposed
budget. which is $10.71l above
last years contribution by the
county. The rest of the budget
is to be made up from State and
Federal funds.
The welfare budget now goes
to the State for approval. and
then comes back to the county
for Incorporation in the regular
1855 county budget.

ANNAPOLIS. Jan. ls.--A bill
to protect planning and coming
in the regional district surround-
ing Washington against usur-
patton by Incorporated towns
was introduced in the Maryland
House of Delegates here last
night.
The bill was put in the hopper
by Delegates Blair Lee II. Deni-
ocrat. of Montgomery and CARL
ton r. Sickles. Democrat. Of
Prince Georges.
1t is aimed at curhing the
broad powers granted municipal-
tiles under the home rule con-
stitutional amendment. passed
at last November's election.
At present the Maryland Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission exercises planning
and subdivision control In the
regional district Of Prince
Georges and Montgomery Coun-
ties, but coming is handled Ia
the district by the county gov.
erning bodies.
The bill would bar such ac-
tivities by municipalities In the
present district and would strip
any municipality Of such au-
thority in any area to which the
planning commissions jurisdic-
ton is expanded.
Rockville Asks Exclusion.
AS presently drawn. the bill
would strip Rockville Of such
authority If planning commis-
sion's authority is expanded To
include all Of both counties. a.
is being widely advocated.
Mr.. Lee said the Rockville
Mayor and council have asked
to be excluded from the planning
commissions jurisdiction II the
area is expanded. He added
their wish probably would fh0
granted, since they already have
their own planning and zoning
setup.
Mr.. Lee said the bill is aimed
at preventing the growth Of 3
hodgepodge OF coming ordinances
in the two counties.
The bill Is not expected 70
meet opposition since 1t affects
only the two Washington su.
hurban counties.
Other Bill Hits snag.
A bill proposed by former
Montgomery County Attorney.
David Macdonald that would
protect county planning commits
sions against municipalities
probably would hit a snag in
the Legislature. Mr.. Lee said.
He pointed out that many OF the
so-called rural counties have
fairly large cities. such as Cum
berland, Salisbury and Hagers-
town, and the cities probably
would fight, through the Mary
land Municipal League. any
move to turn their powers over
to the counties.
Mr.. Lee said he probably
would introduce bill today TO
require the Sanitary Commis-
sion to submit all plans for in.
stallation. of trunk sewer and
water lines to the planning
commission for its review.
No Veto Powers.
AS planned, the bill would not
give the planning commission
veto powers over such plans,
but would give them 80 days to
approve or submit recommends
tions on the projects to the san.
itary commission,
Both bills seemed to indicate
that the two delegations we're

second Friday of the month
at ZOO PM in the Croatian

each other.
All parents are also re-

little. BY attending the meet
ings, the juniors will learn
about their organization and
prepare themselves to become

We are of the belief, that
a program, such as we have
planned for this date, has ne
yer been staged in the City of
Canton.
A musical program, which
will highlight the celebra-
ton, will open with the play
ing of the national anthems
by the Sloboda Tamburitzans

may also be of interest to point out that of Jam

$22 for each of insurance in force On December 3d.
1854 this average had increased $240 for each
81 900 of insurance.

A comparison of the Unions dividend payments with
those offered by other fraternal organizations reveals the
beray of the dividend scale Nevertheless the Officers
and Directors have voted to increase the dividend scale by
1885, In other words in 1855 the dividend payments will
be 1880 larger than in 1854.
If present favorable trends continue there is doubt
that the dividend scale be sustained for the dura
ton of the contracts in force The Union be
mended for it's very liberal treatment of its membership
T. Safety Fraternal organization such as the Union
occupies very sacred position of trust since the
placed deposit being held for the future widows
orphans of deceased members and for the retirement of
surviving members Therefore, it is of the utmost impor
tance that the necessary funds be hand at all times
meet the liabilities they mature Life insurance
established for this purpose 1t is the policy of the
Officers and Directors to set up sufficient that all
liabilities will be met as they arise.
Since the last Convention the strengthening
program has been continued provide necessary
with which to meet all liabilities they mature
Since January 1851 the Union has aside additional
$4020e5582 for the purpose Of meeting life insurance IL
abilities they mature Reserves life insurance have
increased from including special contingency
January 1851 to $20 90 on December
3d. 1854 In other words the Union is holding almost 81
Million Dollars exclusively for the purpose guaranteeing
payments to widows and orphans and for the retirement
of it's membership the liabilities These
established very conservative assumptions to in
terest and mortality and include extra set up
of surplus earnings and above the requirements

and above statutory requirements which management has
set up to guarantee the safety of the Unions obligations
include the following:
(a Contingency required by Sec. 226 of
Bylaws .............................$ $79O,369.
(b) For loss of prem in yr of death, $150,211.
(c) For loss of interest in yr. of death, 100000

It is of interest to point out that Union prior to January
1, 1851 had already established about million dollars

certificates that their claims would be when they
