Chides School Board

The recent action of the
Fairfax County School
Board as reported in The
Star on April l6 regarding
the name of the new high
school being built in Fran:
coma prompts me TO air
my ire.
One might expect the
school board TO devote con-
siderable debate and even 10
reverse itself on some i'm
portant issue, but to de-
vote so much time and come
up with so many opinions
and actions on a relatively
unimportant subject seems
to be a waste Of the boards
time and the taxpayers
money.
The latest excuse for re-
versing themselves is re-
ported to be a comparison Of
cost between a long name and
a short one. AT a figure of
SIS per letter quoted in The
STAR the difference in cost
between the previously APP
proved name. Franconia High
School, and the suggested
Lee High School. which is
about as short a name as we
are likely 10 find. is only
$3.50. This leads one TO Won
der how much the debate has
cost. The cost angle was of
course never brought up
when the name Springfield
High School was being con-
sidered, for obvious reasons.
DR.. Lory and Mr.. Solomon
are to be congratulated on
their sensible presentation
and fortnight stand.

power into years OF bloody
warfare for the selfish lead
ership OF that ancient world.
Sparta'S unbalanced EN-
cheney In one direction proved
a fatal blow TO Greek civili-
zation. and in the end Sparta
herself died. as the contem-
porary historian Toynbee
puts II, an arrested civiliza-

The warning Of both Spar
Ia and Sputnik is that there
must be balanced virtues.
Without that balance, even
virtues become vices. For
instance, liberty is the vital
breath OF life abundant.
Without 1t life is smothered.

brings us face to face with
the Christ whose coming

Him is a perfect symmetry

blazing with indignation. He
is just. but merciful. There
is no characteristic which
bulks in exaggerated form in
the figure of the Crystal
Christ. Well has 1t been said
of mans best Man, He
pushed every good trait of
human character to its ut
most limit. His forgiveness
was unbounded. His generos-
ity was untiring, His patience
was inexhaustible, His mercy
was unreasonable, His cour-
age was illimitable, His wis
dom was unfathomable, His
kindness was interminable.

Comments on OAR

I have always loved the
Daughters Of the American
Revolution and their concern
with my welfare. Their an
nual conference lends color
and charm TO our springtime.
They are not TO be outshone
by cherry blossoms or other
spring flowers. Nor are they
TO be pushed of the front
page by the east front Of the
Capitol. the reorganization Of
the Defense Department, or
by masculine luminarieS.
In the course OF the current
conclave. the Daughters fair
~ outdid themselves in that
they gave concrete expression
to the heartfelt desires Of
every taxpayer in the land.
On April Is. they adopted a
resolution calling for the re-
peal of the Federal income
tax amendment. Here is one
pauperized citizen who wishes
To express his enthusiastic
approval of the fortnight
action OF our beloved Daugh-
tiers.

pose that they Join as Ladies

l commend the lauleS OF
the OAR for the splendid
resolutions they passed at

heart. God bless every one Of
them. and may they keep up
the good work.

100 Years AGO

Georgetown was not always
filled with houses. A hundred
years ago there was a need
for building there. In an item
from Georgetown on April
20, 1858. The Star reported:
I'VE have rarely known so
great a demand for small and
middle sized houses in our
city as exists at the present
time. We have no doubt that
so or more Of this class of
dwellings. situated in pleas
ant localities, would soon be
occupied by good tenants,
paying remunerative rents.
The constant inquiry for such
buildings causes us to wonder
why men Of means have not
invested their surplus funds
in this way :"
A century ago. The Star
took occasion to report on a
nuisance. In its column Of
Washington city news on
April 81, 1858, The Star said:
"A nuisance--that hogshead,
filled with filth. which stands
close to the gutter in Elev-
enth street between Pennsyl-
vania avenue and E street,
and directly in front of an
old clothes shop. This sends
forth a fume this morning
that is poisoning the entire
neighborhood. Why don't
the police look to it,"
Trips down the river were
a favorite paStime a century
ago. On May 3. 1858. The
