I must reap that harvest centuries old That thrl-that glitter-that Vein of Gold Come sit with in my miners hovel l have goldpan and pick and shovel The old lure of gold is still manifold The streets Nome are really lined with gold And I split the streets asunder, Because the lining is way down under And the riches that along the beach Still lie in the Sea within my reach Come sit with my miners hovel, I have strong coffee and pick and shovel. A miner must struggle, he must not be queasy, Or things become convenient and life is too easy. I must strive with nature and more; Of course get my yittes at the grocery store. Of all Gods creatures the most ingenious is Man; He store any delcacy in vacuum Come sit with in my miners hovel have opener and pick and shovel
 I pursue life of lonely seeking,
 With only the mountains and seagulls speaking, And wander far in my solitude,
 Where yet ntrude
 It's difficult accomplish this feat today, Where buzzing radios and aeroplanes play Come sit with in my miners hovel,
 have good book and pick and shovel
 The old lure of gold maintains it's magnetism,
 But some glamour is lost in its mechanism.
 I strike it rich" for my satisfaction,
 If it just weren't for all the modern distraction.
 I must hold to my course, be my jailor
 Or I may give in and become failure.
 Come sit with in my miners hovel
 I have Teevson-and pick and shovel.

The Northern Virginia Plan
ming Commission said last night
a proposed reservoir on Goose
Creek in Loudoun County would
not conform to the ultimate
Metropolitan Area water supply
plan and could lead to pollution
of the Districts water source.
The commission voted against
the $4.5 million water program
of the town of Fairfax after it
heard a report from the Water
and Sanitation Committee.
The commission also urged
Congress to make a survey to
determine if widening and deep
ening of the Potomac River
channel is feasible. This project
lis being pushed by Alexandra
which hopes to open up the river
for large ocean-going vessels.
Zoning Group Charged
The commission also voted to
set up a technical planning and
coming committee with represent
|tatives of all Northern Virginia
Jurisdictions. The committee
would serve as a clearing house
for originating coming and
land use plans of the individual
Jurisdictions.
The report on the Goose Greek
reservoir said the Potomac River
lis expected eventually to become

RESERVOIR on Goose Creek would
only be temporary measure and
would not be in keeping with the

average rainfall and water flow
records indicate the water po-
ltential would be adequate for the

Placed on Land
For Reservoir

A fye-n1ember condemnation
commission yesterday ruled that
the Alexandria Water Co. should
|pay nearly SIS, 900 for 80 acres
the company seeks for its new
reservoir on Occoquan Greek.
The commission set the value
Of the land at $1,000, the value
Iof easements through adjacent
property at nearly $4,000 and
1.-THE damage to adjoining prop
Ierty at $4,000.
This was the first suit by the
company to acquire about $500
acres needed along the Occoquan
for the reservoir now under con-
Istruction.
The commission set the value
considerably higher than the
water company expected. The
company valued the land at APP
lproxilnately $3.50 an acre and
said that it could not see that
any damage would be done to
adjoining property. The COM
mission valued the land at nearly
$500 an acre and said the adj
joining land was damaged about
$50 an acre.
The 80 acres is part of a 1922
acre tract owned by the family
Iof Carroll Wright. Arlington real
estate man. The tract is on the
Fairfax County side Of Occoquan
Creek and has a 2.8O0-foot 'front.'

A water company spokesman
said that the court will be asked
to set aside the award. He SAID
that If the company had to pay
similar prices for all Of the 2.50C
acres it needs, it would boost the
land costs to more than $2.5
million.
This would require a boost

Sparrows Point is one Of the

School Heads
Pay Boosted

A new policy for hiring school
supervisors, which will provide
ia starting salary $1,4OO higher
in some cases than in the past,
was adopted last night by the
Montgomery County SCHOOL,
Board.
The change was described by
DR.. Forbes H. Norris, county
school superintendent, as al
standardization Of the beginning
salary scale for supervisors, i've
of whom win be added next fall.
Under the old policy, the basic
salary at the eighth step Of the
pay for supervisors entering the
school system amounted to the
scale for teachers with masters
degrees plus a $400 differential.
"A supervisors starting pay under
this plan was about $3.50 per
year unless the School Board
favored a special salary provision
to attract a highly trained super
visor.
Total Is Raised
Beginning next fall, however,
the Board has agreed to give be-
ginning supervisors the maxi
mum for teachers with masters
degrees-$5, 950-plus the $500
Idifferential, or a total of $3.50.
OF the five new supervisors,
three will be requirements, one
will occupy an untitled position
and one will be an addi-
ton to the staff. The county
next year will have 80 super
viSorS.
DR.. Norris reported to School
Board members that cuts in the
Boards requested capital budget
may be difficult" to apply.
He said the school administra-
ton will proceed with all %
scheduled building projects but
will attempt to list several alter
mates in specifications for each
job.
