Mrs. Jennie Bell Cantey has
TO move from the house where
she has lived for IS years.
She doesn't mind too much
In fact. in some ways she's
looking forward TO 1t.
But It won't be too easy,
She's 100 years old.
II would like to move into a
place that's heated" the agile
centenarian said, II hope it's
oil heat. My old kerosene heater
here isn't too safe"
The Alexandria Health De-
partment has promised Mrs.
Cantey 1t win find her a new
place in q Federal public hous-
ing project.
"She has TO move" explained
A. Clarke Slaymaker, the Alex
andria director Of sanitation,
because her house violates just
about everything in the hous-
ing hygiene CODE"
Also Fire Hazard
He said the house. at 307
Gihbon street, has no heat, no
electricity, no hot water and is
q fire hazard. Its structure is
substandard. The whole house
leans to the right almost NEIL
acingly.
I'VE have to dispossess her, "
the sanitarian said. "But we're
withholding action until we find
a place for her. We certainly
would never throw her out"
Besides being substandard
and subject to condemnation,
Mrs. Cantey's house is in the

Her case came to light, he
said. during routine health
check Of Alexandria houses.
Hers is one Of 237 houses that
must be substantially repaired
or demolished, Mr.. Slaymaker
said,
Mrs. Cantey explained that
she bought her house and lot in
1904 and has lived there ever
since. The house is far older
than she is.
The two-story frame house,
faced with imitation brick. is
one block from the high-valued
Yates Gardens housing devel-
opment in Alexandria.
High Value on Lot
Mr.. Slaymaker said her lot
has a relatively high value, and
care will be taken to see that
the elderly woman's interests
are protected and that she
receives the full value Of her
land.
Although she was 100 years

RICHMOND. April 10 CAP)-
Today's session Of the Virgins
General Assembly amounted Il
only a brief countdown before
the members left for home.
Floor sessions-with only Is
Of the 40 Senators on hand and
less than half the 100 members
Of the House at their desks
we're merely formalities. No
body questioned the. lack Of
qup-rums and adjournment
came within 10 minutes. Both
houses will meet at noon Mon
day.
Members appeared anxious Ia
get home and sample sentiment
on the schools issue which is
heading for a test between the
administration program and
advocates Of broad constitu-
tional changes.
One member of the group
accommodating the constitu-
tional change said he felt Gov.
Almond might ultimately go
along with the idea.
He expressed hope the ad-
ministration might be willing
TO abandon a key provision Of
the Perrow plan-return of
pupil assignment to the locah-
ties.
There was no indication that
the administration would give
up its assignment bill-now in
the Senate Education Commit
tee. There we're faint hints,
however, the administration
might go along with the long
method Of amending the con-
stitution If new placement bill
were approved also.
Local Option Plan
Most opponents of the place
.ment bill felt their stock had
risen as a result of yesterdays
long public hearing before the
House Education Committee.
The bill came under sharp
attack from a number of speak
ers who urged the Assembly
men to retain the present state
pupil placement act which gives
all assignment powers to a
three-member States board.
The amendment would re-
move the constitutional re-
quirement to operate efficient
public schools and replace it
with a section giving localities
the option of operating public
schools or providing other
means Of educating Sabotage
children.
This constitutional approach
recognizes the idea of local
autonomy and would permit
every locality to offer educa-
tional opportunities for its
youth either through private
schools or private education, Z"
said State Senator Mills E,
Goodwin, jr., of Suffolk, a mas
sive resistance leader.
This recognizes that there
may be some indignation in
some places in Virginia" God
wins statement continued.
This is a fact / deplore and
I will still support any measures
that can legally prevent it. The
local autonomy or freedom of
action choice makes it legally
and constitutionally possible
for the people in every locality

But when the goats come

How do they know what the

That's what the professors
