Jonuory Changes Seen
In Foirfox School Boord

One Of the first jobs Fair
fax County's new Board Of Su-
pervisors Is expected to have
next January is deciding the
composition of the school board.
Last weeks Democratic prim-
airy left three Of the school
board members without a SUI
pervisorS sponsor. One of these
was veteran member Fred w.
Robinson, who has served on
the school board since 1877 and
has been chairman during most
Of that period.
The school board Is composed
Of seven members appointed by
the supervisors. The supervi-
sors. while voting as a body,
have appointed members recon-
mended by individual supervisors
from each Of the county's seven
magiSterial districts. &
Re-districting more than two
years ago left some districts with
two members on the school board
and other districts with none.
So far the supervisors have made
no changes In the membership of
the school board.
Serve at Boards Pleasure
School board members serve
"at the pleasure Of the appoint
ing board" and observers believe
the new county board which will
take Office January will shuttle
Evening star., 1955-07-18

the school board to get a repre-
sentative from each district.
Mr.. Robinson was appointed by
Supervisor Maurice Fox. who was
defeated by Supervisor Stuart T.
Debell in last weeks primary.
Both supervisors were running In
the same district because Of re-
districting.
Mr.. Debell appointed Robert W.
Darr to the school board. Since
Mr.. Robinson supported MIR. Fox
In the Democratic primary, spec
ulation has been that Mr.. De-
bell. If he is successful in the
November general election. will
support Mr.. Darr again for the
school board.
Mrs. Crowther Affected.
Other School Board members
who lost their sponsor in last
weeks election were Mrs. Al
morine Crowther, who was
selected by defeated Supervisor
Arthur I. Shaffer. and Floyd w.
Kirby, who was named by C. B.
Runyon, who did not seek re-
election.
MIR. Robinson said today that
he plans to wait and see what
happens in January.
There's nothing I can do. II
the supervisors decide on some
one else, I guess I'll have TO step
down." MIR. Robinson said.

have been cleaning some ma
chinery with gasoline. according
to Chief r. Weston Scott, jr.,
of the Cottage City Volunteer
Fire Department.
Chief Scott said the explosion
blew out the windows and spread
q flash fire through five rooms.
MIR. Etzal. who is living with
his parents, was taken to Prince
