MEMORIES

A group of women were seated
around the room one day and they
started talking about their child
hood days and what a wonderful
time they had and didn't realize
it. One woman whom I will call
Jane was saying, when I was
at home all I could think of was
getting to be Is years old so I
could leave the farm and go to the
city, get a job and live there! I'VE
all knew what a wonderful farm
and beautiful modern home her
parents owned and we knew, too,
it was one of the finest farms in
that part of the country.
Jane said, what a Ounce I was
not to appreciate it then, but have
I learned to appreciate it since
I have grown up and lived in
houses that were so different from
the farm home. But do you think
would go back and tell my fam
lily just how very much I regretted
ever leaving their home and my
lovely bedroom? No, had talked
too long and too big about how
well could do in the city to go
back and admit defeat. What a
big mistake that was. know now
my parents would have welcomed
me back with open arms and how
used to long for the farm and
to be with my parents and broth
ers doing the many chores that
we had to do on it."
Being young, I had let friends
tell me all about the wonders of
the big city and If one girl will
stay at home with her parents
until she is old enough to leave !
will feel well repaid for telling her
to do that. went to the city and
stayed with friends of my parents
They tried to tell me what a lucky
girl I was to have been raised on
the farm where we had everything
anyone in the city had plus much
more for we had plenty Of good
fresh air and the peace and quiet
that most city folk long for.

in love and married, yes, farmer
who had a small farm not far
from my fathers. was happy
that I had had the experience of
living in the city but much hap
pier to leave it all for the fresh
air of the country. Looking back
now I cannot see how anyone in
their right mind could have given
UP such a wonderful happy home
to go to the city and live in a
small house too full of people. Yet
there are many men and women
who would rather be poor and live
in almost poverty than go back to
their homes in the country or to
their homes that are so much
nicer in another part of the U. S.
There were three Of us. I was
the baby and my father, having no
women relatives put us in an or
phanage, a state orphanage. He
paid for us for a while but soon
got tired paying for us and my
oldest sister and brother were
later adopted but I was a little de-
formed and homely so was still
there when I was II. One day a
couple came through and said they
would like to have me but they
thought I was too small to do
much work but they would hire
me.
I did get to go to school after
had done the breakfast dishes,
helped battle and dress two chill
dren, feed them, dust the house
and anything else had time to
do.
1 ran to school out of breath,
glad to be able to sit down. At
noon ran back and helped with
the lunch, ran to school and had
to hurry back after school in the
afternoon as there was always
ironing, scrubbing or some kind Of
work to be done before time to
help get dinner The family would
go into the sitting room and read
and listen to the radio. was do
ing all the dishes and had to get
on a chair to put them away. When
was finally able to crawl up to
my bed I was too tired to study.
Soon I was doing all Of the iron
ing, by this time I was 10 and
making bread, etc. really was
tired but I was happier than I had
been in all of my Is years because
I was in a home and in their way
they were kind to me.
Today I am glad they taught
me how to keep house and to do
all Of the things had to do for I
can keep my own home as 1t
should be. I look at my Is year
old and am happy she does not
have to work 50 hard but I am
teaching her to help me in the
home so she will know how to
take care of a home Of her own
should she be married some day.
Work did not hurt me although
would not want any Is year
old to have to do the hard work !
did with no pleasure. never knew
what a party was nor any sort OF
entertainment when I was grow
ing up.
Looking at her and knowing she
had a very happy home life now
made us wonder how she would
have been II she had had a normal
childhood. All of US thought the

EwoId Secrecy Charge Stirs
Debate in Alexandra Council

Mayor Leroy S. Bendheim
interrupted to ask City Man
ager Edward G. Heatwole if he
knew of any city employees who
felt they were in a concentra-
ton camp.
ignoring the question, Mr..
Ewald charged, "Our city en-
ployes are the lowest paid in
the metropolitan area"
The Mayor noted that no
vote ever is taken in work ses-
Sions, no official business
transacted; but that promo
tons and personalities are
discussed.
I He declared that all official
council action occurs before
the public at regular meetings
where citizens can question
members fully and be heard on
any issue.
But / want to clear the air

Shots on K St. Point Up
PeriIs of Being Beotnik

The perils Of being a beatnik
were never so acutely brought
out as at 1:20 am. today when
four shots rang out in the 900

The first shot, fired from the
sidewalk. pierced a plate glass

ANY time, brother, that you
sit in this room and close that

The argument turned to the
issue of pay for teachers and
police and whether happenings
in closed meetings can be ex-
planned adequately to the public
Councilman Joseph M. Pan
coast asked:
How are we going to explain
that police are going to get q

School Supt. Carl F. Hansen
will study the possibility Of
raising the compulsory school
attendance age from 16 to 81,
Rowland F. Kinks, a member
of the Board of Education, said
today.
Mr.. Kinks suggested the idea
yesterday in a letter to DR.,
Hansen. The purpose would
be to require all youngsters
capable Of doing so to finish
high school.
He said the 16-year limit
seems to be an arbitrary age
He suggested 81 years because
1t is "the legally recognized age
of maturity"
Youngsters under the higher
age who would not gain from
staying in school could dror
out after taking an examina-
ton, Mr.. Kinks said.
He noted that under the
current system many youth:

Pay Raise
Bid Fails
In Foirfux
BY JACK KELSO
Star stan Writer

The second installment of
Fairfax County's budget trim
ming effort was scheduled to-
day after q move to raise the
pay of county employees was re-
jected.
The proposed $34.6 million
budget would require a $1.20
increase in the present real
estate tax of $3.50 per 500 val
uation, but % cents was pared
from the proposed tax boost
yesterday.
James o. Yarger, county con-
sultant on personnel and sal
aries. told the board yesterday
the county has dropped 9 OF
10 per cent behind such COM
petitors" as Arlington and
Montgomery Counties in sal
aries for county employees.
Under questioning by BOARD
members, Mr.. Yarger said
county employees have received
a Is per cent increase since
1854.
Supervisor Richard p. Oven
shine introduced documents
showing the cost Of living across
the Nation has increased only
10 per cent in that time.
A proposed pay raise, which
would have affected about / ,60C
persons, was defended by Su.
pervisor Thomas S. Gray. who
said "the proposals are not out
of line with what we know 4
| going on around u.s."
The motion rejecting the pay
raise was made by Supervisor
James Keith and seconded by
Supervisor A. Claiborne Leigh
The move had the effect of cut.
ting $4,000 from the proposed
budget.
Cuts also were made in thu
finance department and rec.
reation budgets.
County Executive Carlton C
Massey told the supervisors the
county would have more money
left over at the end of the year
and more revenue next yeal
than originally expected.

Parkway Fund Plea
Backed by Hayden
BeuII Appeals
For 81 Million
House Denied

A bid by Senator Beall, Re-
publican Of Maryland. for 81
million in Federal aid for the
George Washington Memorial
parkway in Prince Georges
County was favorably received
today by the Senate Appropris-
tons Committee.
Committee ChairmanlHay
Democrat Of Arizona. said he
would like ~ see the parkway
built. He promised Senator
Beall he would do his best to
convince other committeeman
of the need for the 8-mile
stretch Of scenic roadway.
Another committee member.
Senator Bible. Democrat Of
Nevada, who serves with Sena-
tor Beall on the Senate District
Committee. was expected to be
sympathetic, too.
Senator Beall is leading a
fight lost in the House for the
money requested in the 1860
budget of the National Capital
Planning Commission.
Unfortunately, the 81 mill
lion was deleted after only
minor opposition" Senator
Beall said. He noted that a
few landowners opposed the
roadway at House Appropria-
tons Committee hearings al
though this is not a matter
of merely local concern-it Is
OF national Importance"
Congress authorized the
parkway through scenic river
shore from Fort Washington
and Mount Vernon TO Great
Potomac in 1880. EXCEPT for
the Prince Georges stretch, the
road is almost completed now.
The House voted $751; 900 to
extend the parkway from
Langley, Va, to the proposed
Cabin John bridge in March.
If cleared by Congress. this al
lowance would complete fund.-
ing for the parkway as far as
Cabin John on both sides Of
the river.
Senator Beall said that
Prince Georges County now
Stands ready to match the Fed
eral share of 81 million.
The State Of Maryland has
kept faith with the Federal
Government under legislation
of $780," he said. "Abrugation
of that agreement of tins late
date would be inconsi>tant with
almost 80 years Of planned
development"

lance at a favorite villain

His charge that public bust

likened working conditions of

to those of a concentration

1t also prompted an irritated

Mr.. Walkers efforts to locate

complained.
An official in the Department

Mr.. Walker had been issued
neither a restaurant license nor

Mr.. Walker and his poetry

Review Board
For Teachers
Is Proposed

Rule 10 Of the District
Board of Education. under
revision since March, under
went further revision today.
Board members picked the
proposed provisions of the new
rule apart yesterday, spottinR
loopholes here and inconsis-
tencies there.
Primarily, the rule is an at
tempt to strengthen certain
administrative practices within
the school system.
One of the major provisions,
which is expected to remain
intact, is withdrawal of the
right Of appeal from a proba-
tionary teacher charged with
incompetency.
Review Board
Yesterday, board members
seemed to favor the Board of
Review" which, instead of the
Board Of Education, would
hear cases in which a proba-
tionary teacher challenges a
ruling of incompetency made
by her superior.
! Sitting on the board of re-
view would be five employees
of the school system. They
would be drawn from a panel
of teachers and officers elected
at the beginning of each school
year. The five would be picked
from a panel of 40 teachers
and officers representing all
levels of the school system.
A finding of incompetency
by the board of review could
be either accepted or rejected
by School Supt. Carl F. Han
sen. He, in turn, would report
his action to the school board
Jurisdiction Not Set
Yesterdays draft of the rule
did not spell out whether the
same board of review would
hear cases involving personnel
other than teachers and adj
ministrative officers. for ex-
ample, custodial help, School
officials hope to clear this mat
ter up at the next meeting OF
the Rules Committee.
During the discussion. one
board member. Rowland F,
Kinks, sharply criticized tenn
porary teachers who do not try
to meet the additional educa-'
ltional requirements which
would give them permanent
status.
He noted that the many.
universities in this area provide
plenty Of opportunity for these
teachers to get the necessary
credits mainly in education
courses. He said they should
either qualify for certiflcation
or leave hte system.
