board hopes to have a public

An authority would be an

water issue, said it would have
been cheaper to operate d
water system on a sanitary
district basis or some other
whereby county-backed bonds
could be issued. Because of
the possibility of Falls Church
getting the Annandale system,
she said it would take too long
to go through the process of
setting up a sanitary district in
the Annandale area and hold
ing a referendum on a bond
issue.
The water authority can
issue revenue bonds which
would be repaid through reve-
nues produced by the system,
but which are not backed by
the county's credit. This type
of bond usually carries a
higher interest rate.
The board also agreed to
allow the Municipal Service
Co. Of Missouri to proceed with
plans for setting up a non
profit corporation for operating
a water system. This plan,
recommended last week by the
Missouri firm, would be an
alternative to setting up an ,au-
thority.

At the suggestion of Super
visor Joseph Freehill, the board
also instructed county execu-
tive Carlton Massey to nego-

by specially trained Donnelley
employees and executives. The
So-called Junior judges are
college graduates who do the
preliminary sorting of entries.
They receive cram courses on
the merits of the product, what
its advertising t III me has
stressed. what the entrance re-
quirements are. Before they are
permitted to exercise any judg-
ment at all, they are required
to read some 1000 entries just
to get the feel of the contest.
Final Judging Procedure
When the entries 60 up for
final judging. the panel consists
of veteran top Donnelley execu-
tives. At the critical stages, with
judging down to 25 or 80 en-
tries, the names of the con-
teStantS are masked.
In very short time said
Mr.. Morse. "a judge learns to
spot entries written by one or
another of the ghostwriters
who sell entries to contest
suckers. Usually the rules require
that the entry be the product
of the contestant, so this dis
qualities him."
When winners are picked,
Donnelley hires firm of private
detectives to investigate the win
nerS-"only to make certain the
rules have been followed Mr..
Morse said.
Mr.. Morse insists that there is
only one blacklist for contest
ants: That's the names of
people who write or call US, say
ing they'll split the money with
us If we will award them the
prize. The fact that a man
or woman has won an important
contest will not prevent him
from hitting another jackpot.
