AIDE Democrats have held two
important governorships in
Midwest States & Ohio and
Michigan. Gov. Frank j.
Lausche. completing a fifth
term, has now won the Demo-
cratic nomination for Senator.
Gov. G. Mennen Williams has
just announced he will seek
fifth term as Governor of
Michigan.
Republicans are encouraged
in the belief they will win the
Ohio gubernatorial election in
November-and there is a
growing hope they will be able
to displace Gov. Williams. For
Ohio is ordinarily a Republican
State. 1t has in the present
Congress 2 Republican Sem
ators and II Republican mem
berS of the House, as against
6 Democratic representatives.
With President Eisenhower at
the head of the Republican
ticket, the G. o. P. is expected
to do we'll in the Buckeye State.
Primary Interest Cited
While the recent primary
election results in Ohio can by
no means be regarded as con-
elusive, they have certain in
terest, despite the fact the
vote was light. The total vote
in the Republican guberna-
torial primary was 587.843; in
the Democratic primary, 487,-

vote in favor of the Republi-
cans. The Republican nominee
is Attorney General C. William

"ALEXANDRIA. Va.


Dear Sir:
Would like to tell you about
Short-legeed dog in our
neighborhood.
Nearly every morning about
6 o'clock We are awakened by
a bang on our aluminium
storm door.
Our fox terrier hears it
and banks fast and furiously.
For some time we thought it
was the wind banging the
door. Then one morning my
husband arose earlier than
usual. and saw this short
legged dog come up on the
porch. put his front paws on
the door, and wham! goes the
door. Even though it is locked
it gives under pressure and
makes a loud noise.
"Shorty's master delivers
the morning paper on our
street. but he does not come
to our house we take The
Starr. also we are back so
feet from the street.
why do you suppose this
little dog goes out of his way
to bang on our door?
Does he Ike the noise. or
is he teasing our dog to make
him bark?
1T certainly has us guess
ing. Perhaps you can figure
out a motive for Shorty's &C
lions.
Very truly. H. L. Y"
*
Must be a Post dog. sure
enough!
But dogs normally do I'M
accountable things. because
they have a sense of humor, as
well as a marvellous sense of
smell.
The short legged fellow
probably came UP the first
time because he smelled the
home dog.
Then, when he leaped up
and made the noise, he rather
liked it.
The next day he came again,
with the memory of the sound
lingering in his ears.
Dogs enjoy going around
with people better than any
thing. Well, almost.
If they cannot get a human
buddy, for the trip, they go
by themselves. and work out
routes of their own.
There is a small black and
tan fellow out our way We

In a recent letter in The
Star concerning possible an
neXation of Seven Corners,
Karl o. Spiess. ST., a former
resident of Fairfax County,
implies that the Lee Boulevard
Heights Citizens Association
hesitated to fight proposed
annexation by Falls Church in
1912 because of some influence
of mine. l am afraid l have no
recollection of Falls Churchs
1912 annexation suit. At that
time I was busy as a young
mother taking care of small
child and a new home. 1t is
probable. however, that was
not opposed to being annexed
by Falls Church at that time,
as was in favor of it in 1850.
In fact our property was in
cluded in the area sought by
Falls Church in 1850 at my
request.
At that time Fairfax County
was providing very little in the
way of municipal services. The
schools were overcroWded be-
You'd the danger point. There
were 10000 children crammed
into claSsroomS with a capacity
of 1000. Ten years of pounding
at the county government had
failed to persuade it to recog-
nize its responsibilities to a
growing urban population.
Falls Church appeared to be
the only answer to an other
wise hopeless situation for resi-
dents of the area. In spite of
Fairfax County's deficiencies,
Falls Church was unable to
prove to the satisfaction of the
court that it was in a better
position to provide the needed
services, and the annexation
failed.
1t was at about the same
time that things began to inn
prove in Fairfax County. The
first $40 million school bond
issue was passed. A SO million
sewer bond issue was passed in
Sanitary District No. l in 1850.
In 1851, under the leadership
of the League of Women Voters
and the Federation of Citizens
Associations. Fairfax County
adopted the manager form of
government. Since that date
we have added almost $50 mil
lion worth of new school class
rooms, adequate sewers in the
urban areas, a library system,
a recreation program, an en-
larged police force, an ade-
quate public health service.
and almost all desirable serv-
ices.
Soon, I hope. we will have an
adequate master plan which
will prevent the construction
of large apartment projects
tsuch as the WillSton Apart
ments which Mr.. Spiess re-
calls that l opposed in l946l
in the midst of single family
: homes.
/ would say, today, there
fore, that it is neither neces-
sary nor desirable to join Falls
Church or Arlington, since the
Fairfax County urban dweller
gets more service for less
money than does the resident
OF either of the other two
Jurisdictions.
l am proud to have played
an active part in these i'm
provements in Fairfax County,
so that 1t is no longer necessary
to look to another political
subdivision for aid.

Matter of Honor

AS a graduate of Wilson
Teachers College, now called
District Teachers College,
was very perturbed to read the
article in your paper concern
ing the cheating in the "Edu-
cation for American Life"
class.
l feel that certain wrongs
should be clarified and so I
am writing to you. Although
the school was never actually
on the so called "honor sys-
tenn" many examinations that
I took were taken in the alb
sence of the instructor. During
the absence of the instructor
the class was told you are on
your honor" and we all knew
that meant we were to do our
own exams without getting aid
from another.
At no time during these
honor exams did / see any,
one do any copying or any,
thing else that could be called
cheating.
/ only wanted it known that
some of the past students are
still interested in what is oc-
curing at the school now. and
l feel that it should also be
known that in the past
honor" was sacred thing
and all of us made sure that
we kept ours clean.

in the Lords Prayer, And lead

Was the test held at
Teachers College "given under
honor system conditions or
was the professor of the class
on Education for American
Life anticipating cheating on
the part of the students? If so,
like Job. 1.-THE thing that he
feared came upon him."
Let us inspire our children
with love and confidence in
their journey through school
and we will make them love to
attend school instead of trying
at the first opportunity to
leave it because of embarraS-
ing situations.
Again, why should a stigma
be placed on the entire class
if the entire class was not
guilty? If the Dean of Instruc-
ton was in no mood even to
try to find out who "cribbed,"
why not drop the entire affair
after a good lecture to the
group; those guilty would re-
ceive the lesson and profit
thereby.

Learned Easy Way

I have at hand an item
dated April "a about a plan
of Congress to reduce the sec
ondary schools of Washington
by so teachers. 1 hope this
tragic proposal has not yet
been acted on. I, for one, as
more or less fortunate pro-
duct of the D. c. schools,
protest.
/ must confess I find it
somewhat incredible that the
District of Columbia, a city
touted by those wonderful
tourist guides as "the leader
of the free world" finds itself
too poor to educate it's chill
dren. Since it seems progress
is a dead letter, the question is
not whether we can afford to
maintain the status quo. but
whether We can afford not to.
II the honorable members of
our National Legislature will
forget the November election
and bother to reflect, they will
find we cannot afford this cut.
When l graduated from Will
son High School in 1853 and
entered college the following
fall. found myself unable to
spell, unable to study, unable
to grasp and present ideas in
an imaginative manner, un-
able, in short. to cope with
problems calling for some
thing more than social adj
iustment" and good citizen
ship" My position in the grad
uating class was somewhere
in the top ten per cent. My
college education thus has con-
sisted not so much in learning
and developing. but in over
coming the defects and short
comings of 1.-The top high
school in "the top public
school system" In managing
to do fairly we'll in college. I
can only look back with thanks
to three high school teachers.
One of them taught the senior
composition class which, I
find, will have to go if this
lamentable reduction goes
through. This teacher is a
dedicated person, a believer in
real learning and rugged edu-
cation. Her class is doubtless
the hardest in the school sys-
tenn. Because 1t is the hardest,
the most "old-fashioned," it
is the most worthwhile. She
should not be riffed. She
should have her salary raised
ten-fold and should be made
director of the school system.
Public morality and public
policy can only be as good as
the education We provide. Adlai
Stevenson said There are no
gains without pains" Soft
ness does not make for the
painful gain he spoke of and
many more responsible and
Informed persons than / are
speaking up against softneSs
in American education. If my
generation is to face these
problems in manner worthy
of the hard-headed tradition
we call American. our educa-
ton system must not cater to
lazineSs, softness and a disre-
gard for responsibility. 1t must
demand the most of every
child; it must make him strain
to meet the challenge of hard
work and mighty learning. If
we do not educate and dist
pline our children. we cannot,
with justification, moan about
juvenile delinquency. If they
fail us as youths. most as
suredly they will fail the
Western World in 1884. But
because the problem cannot
be marked up in the national
budget. because you cannot
chalk up responsible educa-
ton on record, we imagine
we can push it t, one side. This
is the worst sort of dangerous
folly, and ! hope thinking
observation-disclosures are indignant
al those petty legislators.
