4-Month Curb

Citizens Protesting
In Fuirfux Areas

A four-month ban on outdoor
use Of water today was an
nounced for customers of the
Annandale Water Co. in Fairfax
County.
James A. McWhorter, man
ager and owner, said he ex-
pected the ban to become effec-
tive as soon as notices can be
mailed to the company's $500
customers this week.
The State Corporation Com

Word of the water restrictions
came as residents of the area

moned help from the State
Health Department. He said a
sanitary engineer from Rich
mond was to make an inspec-
ton of the Annandale situation
today to see If some emergency
steps are necessary.
Mr.. McWhorter said he had
hoped restrictions would not be
necessary until later this spring,
but early warm weather caused
an unanticipated drain on the
water system with many residents
watering lawns.
Daily consumption increased
from $780, 900 gallons a day to

McWhorter.
Limited storage facilities
caused the shortage, the utility
manager said. A one-million-
gallon storage tank now under

1t won't be ready for use until

There Is no returning. We must

Sunrise worshipers at Walter

DR.. Frederick Brown Harris,
Senate chaplain and pastor of
Foundry Methodist Church. de-
clare Easter is mot a time for
explanations but for exclarf1a-
tons.
There is but one word, a
glory-freighted word, which is
in any way adequate to carry the
glad surprise, the unspeakable
Joy, the ,breathtaking news that
Joseph's tomb was empty on the
third day. That word is Hallelu-
jah. For Easter changes an obit-
uary notice into a Hallelujah
chorus. Easter declares that
death itself is dead. For Jesus
wrestled with that shrouded
form in a garden and came back
from the struggle with the keys
Of hell and death dangling from
His girdle."

said. "A divine price tag-each
one Of us is Of infinite worth in
the sight Of God. Men were
cheap in the Roman world ;, /.
but the message Of Jesus and
the Resurrection went out to
that Roman world. The mes
sage went down into the ghettos
and slave quarters where men
were bound with every conceiv-
able fetter and chain and put
into their minds a new evalua-

DR.. Elson told $500 worshipers

more than an empty promise.
But. DIR. Elson insisted, "the
message Of Easter brings us hope
at this point too. 5. For a little
while on the Good Fridays of
history, 1t may appear that evil
and sin and the lie are winning.
But then comes the third day
the Resurrection morning and
the triumph Of truth. Across the
centuries comes the answer.

be saved Christ Is risen."
