Readers of this column have
heard me sing the praises of our
community many times.
Everything flourishes here and
the latest proof comes from the
goat world.
Last Saturday, one of our
n.goats gave birth to bankruptcies
Va rare event in that all the liv-
ing and very fine specimens.
Even more unusual is the fact
that another goat, who had be-
come a mother earlier this year
but lost her offspring, came
along and Immediately claimed
two of the four as her own. She
is still taking care of the ex-
propriated kids and defies any
one to modest her.
My husband picked up one to
bring it into the house for our
little granddaughter to see but
the foster mother took up a
position in front of him in a
businesslike manner. He thought
it wise to put the kid down.
Any better goat stories? Let's

iHirst Hits Plan
For Gaming Bill

Omer L. Hirst. Fairfax County
delegate to the General Assem-
lbly, said today citizens should
favor more county tax funds to
support volunteer fire depart
ments rather than seek changes
in lottery laws to raise funds.
Mr.. Hirst criticized as mis-
leading" q statement by Repub-
lican delegate candidate John
Shultz that he would seek
changes in the laws If elected
this fall. Mr.. Hirst. a Demo-
cratic candidate for reelection,
said it would require an amend
ment TO the State constitution
to change the lottery laws.
The lottery law issue was
raised over the recent arrest of
two Dunn Loring volunteer fire.
men, who were charged with
operating gambling devices at a
fund-raising carnival. Hearings
Ior the Two are Scneoule0 friday
in Trial Justice Court.
In a letter to c. B. Robinson,
president Of the County Fire
mems Association. Mr.. Hirst
said he would support any !egis-
lation that would be constitu-
tional and yet permit greater
latitude for firemen's fund
raising activities, but so far
no such measure has been
worked out. We are up against
a very difiicult problem with no
easy solution.
He said that property owners
who have come to expect
splendid service, using modern
equipment. should not begrudge
use of county funds.
