school board against releasing
the plan.
Mr.. Moss said one Of the
things in the minds of many
county officials is the POSSIBLE
ity that adoption of a volun-
tary desegregation plan by
Fairfax might result in a
switch in the more moderate
feeling of the State Legisla-
ture. He said it could stiffen
resistance in the Legislature
which narrowly passed the
Perrow freedom of choice"
program, after three years Of a
massive resistance policy.
A survey by The Star indi-
Gates that the Fairfax plan
bears similarities to one pro-
posed last February by the
Fairfax County Civic FEEDER
alton. If also resembles grad
ual programs which have sur
vived court tests elsewhere.
Major Provisions
The plan is subject to peri
odic review and modification,
However. as initially conceived,
lit contains these major provi-
sions:
In judging pupil applications
for transfer, the school board
would employ criteria similar to
those which have been recog-
nized by Federal courts in pre-
vious desegregation cases.
No white child would be as
signed to colored school.
Teachers and other school
personnel would receive ORR
entation to help them prevent
or deal with possible desegre-
cation problems.
The whole plan is designed
to minimize such problems by
starting desegregation among
the youngest children.
The plan was formulated
after prolonged, serious and
lat times agonizing, considera-
ton by school board members
/ Sought Balance
In devising it, they struggle
to achieve a successful balance
between their determination
to accomplish two separate
goals.
They were intent upon obey
ing Virginia law and retainine
for Fairfax the good will of the
General Assembly. They alsC
wished to comply with Fedora
law. but at the same time tt
contend realistically with prob.
lens forced by indignation.

And this little lesson al the PEN
ellis rubber tip needs to be learn
ed also by those who are enrolled
as members of a Christian congre-
cation Often and insistently here
the temptation will assail them to
hold court over others; to weigh
their actions and to find them
wanting. Church activities ramify
widely, the methods of doing the
work in these many fields vary
greatly and the occasions thus are
multiplied for the critical to find
fault with the way this, that or the
other thing is done To do better
themselves-well, that is quite an
other matter. And it all makes me
feel that If some good fairy could
and would Danish this host of
chronic fault finders to some dis
-tant beautiful isle of nowhere
many a much-harassed pastor and
congregation would be tempted to
believe that the blessed and long
awaited millennium had dawned.
And If this should happen, If all
hammers" were buried, without
thought of a resurrection, to a
depth no yardstick can measure,
and all members of the church CO.
operated in a fine spirit of har-
mony to do the varied tasks of the
church and leave all the petty bick
ering and back biting to secular
organizations that do not profess
to be motivated by the Master s
spirit of love-oh how easy it would
be to shoulder our share of the
work of congregation OF this kind.
Now presume the day will never
come when the membership of any
church will attain the high sum-
NIT of magnanimity where it will
speak always with charity toward
all and malice toward none. Yet
this is the very ideal toward which
we should strive. We have enlisted
to be the Masters disciples and If
we allow His spirit to animate and
dominate us, we will allow that
non-existent him. or her, that is
without sin to cast the first stone.
Instead we will strive always to
throw. the mantle of charity over
the faults and shortcomings of
others always remembering Christ
Jesus words, First cast out the
beam that is in thine own eye and
then thou shalt see clearly to cast
out the mote that is in thy bro
theirs eye"
When tempted, therefore, to hold
court over others, pick up that
pencil from your desk, look that
little tip of rubber straight in
the face, let it preach to you its
little sermon that we all make mis-
takes-and then keep your mouth
shut

Funds Available
For Computing Center
At State University

A grant of $4,000 has been a.
warded to the University of Della
Saale by the National Science Foun-
dation to support the operation OF
the universityfs computing CEN
ter under the direction of DR.. Rob
ert r. Jackson
The announcement of the grant,
effective December 16, 1868, was
made by Alan T. Waterman, di-
rector of the Foundation. 1t covers
a three-year period, 1858 to 1861.
The primary function of the Ma
tional Science Foundation is the
support of basic research, but as
part of this effort, the Mathe-
matical, Physical and Engineering
Sciences Division of the Founda-
tion offers assistance to facilities
which are used as tools for re-
search or which are the subject of
Investigations designed to. increase
the capabilities.
The Computing Center of the Uni
versity of Delaware was opened in
September, 1857, under the super
vision of DR.. Jackson, professor of
mathematics. An original grant
from the university's board of trus-
tees was supplemented by a $4,000
grant from the National Science
Foundation.
Since that time the use of the
computer has developed steadily.
1t has been used for research pro-
iects in chemical engineering,
mathematics, statistics, chemistry
and mechanical engineering, as well
as by several non-university COM
merciaI organizations. In prepar-
alton are major research studies by
the school of agriculture and the
department of civil engineering and
additional projects by departments
already using the equipment
Under Dr. Jackson's direction,
courses have been offered in auto
matte dignital computation which
involves instruction in machine
coding and operation Demonstra-
ton programs designed to show the
amer workings of the computer by
machine language codes have been
written, and it is planned during
the coming year to cover all possi-
BILE forms of the complex Bendix
G-15D command structure. These
demonstration programs will be
name available to all campus users
of the computer to enhance the eff
ficiency and utility of the machine.
It is planned that the $4,000
grant will be used in amounts of
Sic, 900. $4,000 and $4,000 in the
three year period. the subsidy re-
quired decreasing as the use of the
computer by campus and outside
organizations increases.

business the eye doctors would d0S.
If you keep a sensitive finger
upon the pulse of contemporary
life and thinking you win be aware
how prone. many are to criticize
the faults and mistakes OF others
while overlooking their own. The
following bit of doggerel verse
states this with aptness and humor
sTo a darning needle once
Exclaimed the kitchen sieve,
You've hole right through your
body,
And / wonder how you live
eBut the needle, 1sno was sharp,
Replied, I, too, nave wondered
That you notice my one hole when
In you there are hundred"
In further illustration of this
truth go with me to my desk. Upon
it lies a pencil from which the rub
her eraser has become detachd.
1t easily bridges my thinking back
to the time when my children were
spending their first years in school.
Learning to write, they delighted
to do the rather lengthy exercises
prescribed for them with a pencil
borrowed from their daddy's pocket.
But inexperience, plus many a
lapse in attention, makes it neces-
sary for them to do a great deal OF
erasing. Applying the eraser with
none too skillful hands, it often
happens that the little tip of rub
Der at the pencils end escapes its
metal container and bounces away
and is lost and when daddy wishes
to correct their errors-0r some of
mis- own-he finds it gone. How
much that bit of rubber is missed,
and as one looks into the yawning
emptiness of the nickeled ferrule
that once contained it. it is not
hard to read the moral it would
convey. That moral is that all
daughters and dads-and sons and
mothers, too-make mistakes and
that is why they put, rubbers on
lead pencils.
! And when we stop to think about
it lust a bit more intently-we II
should make the proudest among us
to be humble; it should stop the
mouth of the faultfinder: it should
halt the tongue of those who fool
ishly imagine that they alone do
anything well, for it places us all
into one class and proclaims In
stentorian tones that we all make
mistakes and that therefore 1t Ill
behoves any of us to be too critical
of the words and deeds of others.

Report

The best way TO beat the high.
meat prices this ySek il to eat
chicken. Broiler-sryer continue TO
be an onsstandit &@5uy. selling as
low as 2sc ID bn weekend
specials. These chickens are sold
cut up or whole. making II possible
for more variations in preparations
of this meat. Look for new
chicken dishes" and take advan-.
tage of the present low prices on
the top quality chickens.
Beef prices are mostly penny
or so lower at wholesale level, but
prices are still high. Most of the
beef on local markets is quoted as
choice grade so it is good ana tend
er for the most part when you buy
it. Weekend specials offer the
best opportunities TO ind beef
roasts and steaks at less than aver
age prices.
When shopping for beef this
week. look at the miscellaneous
cuts such as beef plate, beef bris-
ket. flank beef cubes. and knuckIe
soup bone. These cuts are usually
lower in price and with. proper
cooking are just as tasty and good
as the popular cuts of beet.
s Veal remains high and scare The
only price change is on veal liver
lit is up to &c a pound.
Lamb prices are steady with
weekend specials definitely offer
ing the best buy. Leg-of-lamb liz
up a penny at the wholesale level.
and so are loin lamb chops.
Pork prices are lower on some
cuts with pork loin roast offering
the best chance for good buy.
Bacon and sausage are being fea-
tured by many stores at prices
that are very attractive TO the con-
sumner. Since pork is in season
now, continue to look for good
buys.
Celery Is perhaps your best buy
at the vegetable counter this week.
OF course potatoes remain an out
standing buy and will continue for
the next month or so. Peppers.
radishes and escarole are all more
reasonable than they have been.
In general. however, all prices adj
vanced slightly during the past
week. but prices as whole are
less than a year ago on most vege-
tables. Among the canned vege-
tables the following are plentiful:
tomatoes, tomgto products and
peas.
Under the impact OF heavier
shipments from Florida, juice or
anges have declined In price.
Grapefruit is more plentiful and
can be found as low as 4 for 29c
during weekend sales. Banana
supplies will begin 10 increase this
month and prices will be lower, so
look for features on this fruit TO
get good buy.
