The hearing will be at 1880

At least four routes for the
proposed extension have been
suggested, paralleling the pres

The original route recon-

This proposal drew opposition
from the Northern Virginia Re.

which went on record in favor
of a straighter route sew
eral miles west of the present

The planners said it would be
cheaper to locate the Shirley

Route / several times, because
of lower right-of-way costs. In

You can't train a dog or horse
Unless the trainer know how
And we can't train the young race
right
When we give the women all the
power.
Father working all the week
To take care of his wife and son
Mothers only feeding the child
And a very little training done.
The Bible says to train your child
And yet you fail to obey
What can you say to the Father
When the child has gone astray?
Your mouth is full of lipstick
And your finger nails painted red
You fail to train your children right
And now the father is dead.
You have no income every month
Your hair is turning gray
You fail to train your children right
So now they are going astray.
You never miss a good man
Until his pay checks fail to come
Then you can see your mistake
With your son in front of you.
| only want to do my part
Just to warn you of your wrong
You need not try to train your child
When you have lost your home.
Your husband lift you on every
street
Still you fail to obey
So now you have lost everything
you had
And your children are gone astray.
Mothers don't allow property to
ruin you
Please obey Gods full command
Train your child the way it should
go
And be ready for the Promised
Land.
Oh! for a closer walk with God
Pm trusting in Him every day
I'm begging mothers of children
Don't allow them to go astray.4

So million lawsuit filed against
Confidential last April.
The suit elected the first apology
and settlement from Confidential
in it's history.
Suing in the hope of giving more
people courage to fight back
against this sort of thing" Miss
cambridge settled the suit with the
magazine six weeks later for what
Branton described as "five
figured" sum.
Under the terms of the settle
ment, Branton dictated the word
ing of the retractio1 and apology
and even chose the size of type in
which it was to appear.
The apology confessed that the
article was completely untrue and
without foundation in fact" and
went on:
"The publishers and staff of Con-
fidential magazine extend to you
our deepest apology for the story
and all its implications.
"We hope this will in some meas
ure ameliorate the turmoil and en-
barrassment you have suffered"
Branton said that the prosecu-
tons procedure would probably be
not to call the witnesses at first
unless the magazines attempted to
establish "the defense of truth. u
Then the witnesses would testify
concerning the falsity of the arti-
cles," he said.
In such an event, Dorothy Dan
bridge, to whom Confidential has
already acknowledged error, would
prove a key witness.
In any event, truth is not de-
tense in criminal libel. The pub
Usher has to prove that the ma.
terial was published in the public
interest, not to embarrass or hu.
