Older DeFebio Boy Set
To Drop Out of School

Fourteen-year-old Teddy De-
Febio turned in his school books
yesterday on a matter of prin-
ciple his mother feels strongly
about.
His mother, Mrs. Theo T. De-
Febio, refuses to sign pupil place
ment applications required under
one Of the new laws Virginia
has passed in its attempt to pre-
serve segregated schools.
The Fairfax County School
Board Office said Teddy actually
has until the end of the four
day Easter vacation on Tuesday
to bring the application to Mount
Vernon High School. but Mrs.
DeFebio said she had no inten-
ton of filing it.
So Teddy turned in his books,
filled out the necessary with
drawal papers and bade his
teachers farewell yesterday.
Brother Dropped Week Ago
Teddy's 9-year-oid brother
Nicky was dropped from the
Holm Hall Elementary School
a week ago yesterday, when the
deadline for his application
expired.
Mrs. DeFebio objects to the
applications because she con-
siders them a subterfuge to
thwart the Supreme Courts
desegration decision.
The DeFebio brothers en-
tered Fairfax County schools
January 10. after moving to the
county from North Carolina.
They live with their mother at
Wellington on the Potomac
River.
When placement applications
became available the State Pupil
Placement Board notified local

had to fill them out within Is
days after receiving them, or
their children would be sent

DIAMONDS ARE
FORGOTTEN

All that glitters isn't diamonds at
this season of the year.
ASK any tax lister. Those $500
diamonds not only lose their value
rather hurriendly. Usually they are
completely forgotten.
In way, it's dishonest to have
such a dim memory when the lister
asks about personal belongings.
Yet, it's an age old problem Those
who would like to list property at
its true value find it difficult to pay
the price for integrity.
It's easier to join the majority. The
conscience is eaSed by recalling that
mo one else lists what they have
accurately SO why should II"
There is probably a solution lurk-
ing in the shadows but you won't
find any taxpayers willing to lend q
helping hand. There is strong fear
never get better tax wise so they pre-
fer to retain status quo.
Just thought you'd like to know
that your neighbors wife isn't wear
ing the expensive diamond you
thought. If you don't believe it, Just
check the tax book. But don't blame
anyone. it's just the season of the
year
