Mr.. Reid, but it's a fact that
my mother and my wife have

in my career" 81,
Mrs. Reid has taught as a
substitute in Richmond area
schools. But she says she would
want to devote her time to
settling in a new community
even If Arlington school laws
did not forbid her teaching
while her husband is superin-
tendent.
Mr.. Reid is 5 feet 10 inches
tall. weighs ITS pounds and
has intense blue eyes in a
rudy. slightly freckled face.
He keeps in trim by working
outdoors, mot as a gardener
but as a yardman."
Active In Church
He also finds a relaxing
change of pace by taking an
active part in his church. where
he has been a member of the
official board, and in the Ro-
tary Club, in which he is a
former district governor for
Eastern and Northern Virginia.
He is an excellent tenor, the
song leader for his mems Bible
class, and, when there's time,
enjoys music at home with Mrs.
Reid at the piano. In CONVEX
sation, the Soft-Spoken educa-
tor mixes easy-going rural ex-
pressions with sharp, sometimes
technical phrases on education.
His colleagues regard him as
affable, deliberate and a man
of decision who doesn't finch
in a crisis. There's a battered,
twice-broken finger on his right
hand to testify to his boyhood
deputation for being able to
catch anything, however hot,
that came across home plate.
In Arlington he is stepping
into an area of varied. often
hotly-expressed views, but an
umpire of a number OF such
disputes has no doubt about
Mr.. Reds ability to catch
whatever the times have to
throw.
"In choosing a superin-
tendent," says State Senator
Charles r. Fenwick, "the board
members have selected the
very best possible man."

"Some persons may be con-
cerned, without reason, by that

The two areas Of Virginia
often are pictured as poles
apart in the debate on desegre-
cation Of public schools, but
Mr.. Reid won't be drawn into
argument on that issue.
I'm an educator" he says.
"and will pray, and expect, to
be guided at every turn by what

ST. THOMAS EPISCOPAL

Sunday morning at the eleven
o'clock service Father Louis w.
Johnson delivered a very forceful
sermon on the Crisis of our Age, -
and took as his text Genesis Al :16.
In developing his theme the five
steps were crisis, ordeal, catharsis,
charisma and resurrection. The
thought indicated in each step was
that we are always in crisis, the
difference being in it's size and
effect; in ordeal or suffering we
fear what is ahead; in catharsis or
cleansing, we need to rid ourselves
of the false idea of superior in
ferior races; in charisma, grace or
help when we have reacred that
stage, we go forward in the grace
of God, and finally resurrection
is when we are of one heart, mind
and soul.
Vesper services were conducted
at 8 pm. and were followed by the
Epiphany party held in the under
croft of the church. Progress re-
ports were given by the chairmen
Of the several guilds of the church
on activities during the year OF
1857 and plans laid for 1858.
Mrs. Frank Corners was hos
tess for the evening.
