father did. Yet instead of feeling like Of
father he generally feels like less of one. Nowadays
he has much harder time being father than woman
has being mother.
Why?
Mainly because Of today'S confusion in the roles OF
men and women. Mothers functions have been
gamor1ed But fathers traditional responsibilities have

School Bond Prospect
Fades in Falls Church

The chances of holding a
school bond referendum this
year in Falls Church appeared
dim after a joint City Council
School Board meeting last
night.
School Supt. Irwin H. Schmitt
was not present.
The two bodies met in closed
session at the call Of Mayor
Thomas O'Halloran TO "get
better acquainted" and review
general school policies. Mr.
O'Halloran had stated earlier
that he hoped the meeting
would iron out differences be-
tween the old School Board and
the council.
The new board was organized
last month with Thomas Lewis
as chairman. H. P. Strople and
Lytton Gibson replaced former
board members Daniel v
Stapleton and John Wells.
Several council members said
anticipated enrolment in the
city's schools never had justi-
fed the School Boards request
for q controversial $785.00C
bond issue, rejected previously
by the council. It was pointed
out that the city already was
in debt beyond the point con-
sidered sound by bonding at
