Judging by the experience two
of our children have had with
this type of preview before en-
tering Junior High, it is a won
derful help to the kids to have
this kind of introduction to a new
school. At the very minimum, it
gives the youngsters a chance to
learn their way around the build
ing. If it did no more, it would
be valuable, it seems to me. Well
can | remember my terror dur.
ing the first few weeks of high
school, when / was afraid would
never learn to find my next"
classroom within the meagre
time allotted for period change
overs.
However, the orientation activi.
ties do more than show the boys
and girls where the Mushrooms
are. This is the chance to gain
some acquaintance with the per-
sonalities who make up the
school, and to get a feeling for
the place as an institution.
In the case of Walter johnson,
for example, the young people
are sure to hear about Principal
Henry c. Gregory's objections to
hitch-hiking to school, as well as
the schools rule against wearing
skin tight, Levi-type trousers and
cowboy boots" That's in addi-
ton to plenty of information
about things like lunch periods
and football practice. Gives the
kids good sendoff. Gather

The Church of the Redeemer,

Average tax bills will be higher
in Arlington this year, although
the Arlington County Board cut
tax rates on real and personal
property in adopting a $25.7 mil
lion budget for the coming fiscal
year.

result because the tax rate cuts
of ~ cents from the real estate

enough to Offset the effects of a

The reassessment added $36
million to the county's tax base

taxes will go up 4 per cent as a
result of the board action.

Stanley Admits Inability
To Block GombIino Ship

RICHMOND, May is R.-
Gov. Stanley said yesterday he
doesn't like the Idea of a gam
bling and drinking boat opera
ton planned for the Potomac
River of Virginia, but added
there's nothing his State can
do about 1t.
The Potomac-to the low
water mark on the Virginia
side-belongs to the State of
Maryland, which permits Ii
censed operation of bars and,
in some areas. gambling devices.
Virginia law forbids both.
A report from Maryland last
Saturday said operators of the
220-foot former Bay cruise ship,
the colchester, had obtained a
liquor permit from Charles
County. Nd. and planned to
apply this week for permits to
operate 200 slot machines.
Promoters of the project plan
to anchor the ship in Occoquan
Bay OF Freestone Point in Prince
William County.
A similar situation has existed
for several years at Colonial
Beach, where piers lead out
from the Virginia shore to
casino-bars in the Potomac. As
long as the drinking and slot
machine playing is over the
Maryland line. Virginia can't
stop it.
At Colonial Beach the presence
Of the nearby Maryland enter
lprises is accepted, If not en-
couraged, as a tourist-pullin
attraction. Reports from Prince
William County indicate, how
ever, that opposition is developing
to gambling of Freestone Point.
Mrs. John Galleher of Manas-
sas. a member Of the State board
of education, has written letters
of protest to both the Governor
and Atty. Gen. j. Lindsay Al
mond. jr.
Gov. Stanley told reporters it
was probably too late for an

dore r. McKeldin to try to stop

bit of authority, the plan could
move ahead" the legislator said.
He pointed to the fact that
many Of the proposals in the
step-by-step project require
ratification by the State Leg
islatures.
Mr.. Hyde, spearhead in at
tempts to develop the basin
through the cooperative efforts
Of the District, Maryland, Vir-
ginia, West Virginia and Penn
sylvania, said the State Legisla-
lures have battled one another
over jurisdictional and overall
development questions to such a
degree that one Federal agency

Of Public Health-apparently has
declined to use its authority in
one procedural phase because it
doesn't want to start another

The Congressman discussed

tion-particularly of water and
park land-at a meeting of the

In the case of District resi-
dents, he suggested the pressure
might be applied through their
friends and relatives in the af-
fected States.
