for these children's rights in
the District by providing that
their fathers must support
them until they are 16 years
old, 1t was noted.
Civil in Nature
Another District Law provides
that children born out OF we'd
lock can now inherit from their
mothers.
The appellate court was told
that 25 States have decided pa
ternity proceedings are civil in
nature and. therefore, need
only the lesser standards Of
proof to determine fatherhood.
Four States have partly GRIM
inal paternity proceedings, as
in the District, but all of them
require only the civil standards
of proof.
Mr.. Kuemmerling noted a
previous District appellate case
in which it was held that a
paternity proceeding here is
neither criminal nor punitive
and that its only object is TO.
provide for support of the
child.
The father was not repre-
sented at the appellate hearing,
and no arguments have been
filed in his behalf.
The District recently asked
the appellate court to hold
nonresident fathers of illegit-
innate children libel to pater-
nifty action. District officials
have expressed concern that 18

budget is being used annually

Mr.. Kuemmerling con-

Laws protecting children

In giving q year-end sum-

the situation has improved
markedly" since an earlier
summary in December. He
added that he also was en-
couraged by the decision of a
Federal Court last Thursday
striking down the Arkansas
school closing law.
Last September, he said, four
schools were closed in Little
Rock, six in Norfolk, two in
Charlottesville, and one in
Warren County.
The reopening of nine schools
in Virginia In February, he
said, was "a source of great
satisfaction to all who believe
the maintenance of the Ameri-
can public school system. The
reopenings occurred after State
and Federal courts killed the
massive resistance laws which
closed them.
Considering the year overall.
the closing of a total of 13
schools in Virginia and Ar
kansas meant a loss of about
1900, 900 pupil-days in the two
States. the secretary noted.
This figure could be increased
by about 10000 pupil-days
because some 1850 students in
Warren County did not attend

noted. The white students have

"The Bulldozer and the

1t was on the destruction
and reconstruction Of
Southwest Washington.
Because so relatively few
Americans, even Washing

quarter OF the old city of
Washington is being COM
pletely destroyed to be re-
built. Dana Doten decided to
do something about it.

"One day it occurred to us
that we ought to make a
record of 1t. Not a documen-
tary. That's a rather for
midable term. I would prefer
the term poetry in its broad
est sense.
II was impressed with the
gardens, and particularly
with the splendid Rose of
Sha aron bushes, now in
bloom, that were somewhat
pathetically left behind by
people who had some culture
and love of home. That's
how we got our title, The
Bulldozer and the Rose"

board whenever they want the
services of over $50 contractors,
suppliers and specialists in
about every possible type of
repair work a home could
require.
AHA has carefully screened
each contractor on its list. 1t
guarantees the contractors
work will be satisfactory, that
the prices quoted will be in line
with the general level, that a
serviceman will show up when
called even for a picayune job,
that a repairman will answer
an emergency call at any hour.
When a contractor does a job
for a member, he bills the AHA
and before paying. Mr.. Yeckes
deducts 10 per cent as his COM
mission. The AHA bills the
member once a month for all
services the member used dur
ing the month.
Idea Is Basic
The idea is basic and simple.
Mr.. Yeckes brings the right
homeowner and right con-
tractor together and for this
service he collects a member
ship fee from the homeowner,
commission from the con-
tractor. The contractors like
the idea because it gives them
a mass market and they don't
have to worry about collecting
from their customers. The
homeowners like it because the
clearinghouse finds the con-
tractors for them, guarantees
the work won't be shoddy or
the prices outrageous.
From nothing in June 1857,
AHA has grown to a member
ship of $500. Members are now
channeling an average Of al
most $500 a year in home re-
pairs, 81 million a year in gross
work Thorough ALIAS tele-
phones. And now Mr.. Yeckes is
going national, establishing
branch ALIAS on a franchise
basis.
