C,arper Herd
Sold at Auction

The passing Of Fairfax Coun-
tvs rural era was brought into
sharp focus yesterday as the
dairy herd Of q. Wallace Carper
was sold at public auction at
Richmond. Va.
Mr.. Carper, defeated chair
man Of the Fairfax Board OF
County Supervisors. had been
one Of the areas leading dairy
farmers for more than three

Like so many other big far
mers In the county, he found his
herd grew less and less profitable
as production costs went up in
the rapidly urbanizing counties.

area anymore" Mr.. Carper re-
luctantly admitted. Its too
close TO Washington.
His I40-acre farm is on Great
Falls road seven miles from the
District line at Chain Bridge. IT
Is near Mclean. which once was
the heart Of the Fairfax County
dairy section. A few dairy farms
now remain in that area.
The Carper farm has been In
the family for three generations.
II did not become q dairy farm
until 1921, when Mr.. Carper
bought his first herd of dairy
cows.
II became known as q profit,
able. efiiciently-run farm. For
years. Mr.. Carper maintained q
District Health Department score
of 98 or better.
Mr.. Carper was among the
FIRST dairy farmers to join the
Maryland and Virginia Milk
Producers Association when II
feorganized in the early l930s.
He necail1e director IL years
ago and has been one ever since.
He also has been on the asso-
ciation's finance committee for
l8 years. Now out OF the dairy
business, he Is resigning from the
milk board. He also is giving
up his position on the local

which is a subsidiary Of the Vir-
ginia State Milk Commission.

Bond Plans Review
By Arlington Urged
Request Follows
Defeat of Street,
Druinoqe issues

An Arlington County Board
member yesterday suggested that
planning officials begin an inn
mediate review of capital i'm
provement needs. The request
followed the defeat Of two bond
issues for street and drainage
programs in Tuesdays election.
The board also approved hiring
. consultant to complete work
on q land use study, approved Q
contract for widening the Four
Mile Run channel, authorized q
library survey and voted to seek
bids on the first phase Of q
recreation center building pro-
gram.
Alvin F. Kimel attributed the
defeat Of the bond issues at least
partially to failure of the county
to properly inform the citizens
on what was In the bond issues.
Defeated Issues
The defeated issues proposed
expenditures Of $i.2 million for
drainage projects and SIS mill
lion for street and sidewalk con-
struction. A 81 million issue for
sanitary sewers was passed. One
Of the criticisms during the
election campaign was that the
issues were thrown together too
hastily.
Mr.. Kimel suggested that
when the next bond issue is pro-
posed that an informative
letter. be sent to all registered
voters.
County Manager A. T. Lund-
berg reported that Q survey
which viii furnish q guide TO

Commerce, recommended the tax

because they reduce gross taxable
receipts BY selling under

Z. z. Melton, manager ofl
Armed Services Purchasing Co.
Of 204e Wilson boulevard, one
Of the discount houses, disputed
Mr.. Johnson's claim. He said the
discount houses increase taxable
receipts by drawing
trade from Maryland and other
Virginia areas.
The county appropriated s2I,-l
$50 as its share OF widening and
straightening Four Mile Run

turned on the president, expecting
a.im to sound the crusading trum-
pet and outline the strategy. That
he did. For so years the crusading
trumpetscall has inspired the great
work of the Association.
The essence of Trudeau's key
note speech was his faith in the
people themselves - not science
alone, but belief in the ability of
the common man to fight the bat
tie if properly led and equipped.
Given the facts about TB, he said,
the people would demand the pro
'tective measures necessary to curb
the disease and would furnish the

education"
Today, so years later, over 5000
doctors belong to the American
Trudeau Society, the medical
branch of the National Tuberculo-
sis Association. Hundreds of train
ed workers are supplying the lead
ership necessary md litera2ssIy
thousands of volunteer workers
are carrying out Trudeau's basic
plan for combating this disease,
once called s'the white plague"
The death rate has declined to
about one-tenth of what it was
when Trudeau threw out the dar-
ing challege to move mountains.
The big problem now is to keep
public interest alive until the goal
of eradicating the disease entirely
is. reached.
Educating the public has been
accomplished. Very few there are
that do not recognize TB for what
1T is, disease that can lay low
even the strongest man. Hospitals
and clinics there are to combat it.
But funds are needed to wage O
sceaseless war on its eradication,
Buying Christmas Seals is a pain

Using them is good way to keep
the dangers of TB before your
fellowmen.
