teenth street. A map of World
War I in Europe ano an in
scription concerning the life
of the leader of the Ameri-
can Expeditionary Forces.
The Fifteenth street wall
would be about so feet high
and "a feet across. The statue
Of PerShing, probably done in
bronze on a pedestal, would
be silhouetted in the wall OPEN

A petition asking a recount
of the referendum in which
Fairfax County voters approved
a $4.8 million parks and rec
reation bond issue has been
filed in the county's Circuit
Court.
The bond issue, which passed
by only 1875 votes out of "a, ,239,
was the closest of six bond pro-
posalS before the voters in the
November 8 general election.
Prominent among the 70
voters who signed the petition
were Victor E. Parker, Douglas
B. Trittopoe and Harley M.
Williams, all of the County
Taxpayers Alliance. Glenn A.
Burklund, unsuccessful Repub-
ican candidate for the Board

EVE DOESN'T KNOW VIVA

EVE DOESN'T KNOW what
kind of an animal Adam is
She avoids him; then ap-
proaches him. He climbs a
tree. She waits around two
or three days for him to
come down.
Finally they become COM
panions. She is always eat
ing apples, despite his warn
ings. She even discovered fire
and baked an apple. That
must have led to the fall.
Forty years after the fall
when the awareness of NOR
tality is much upon them,
Eve utters her prayer.
"1t is my. prayer, it is my
longing, that we may pass
from this life together - a
longing which shall never
perish from the earth, but
shall have a place in the
heart of every wife that loves,
until the end of time; and
it shall be called by my
name.
But if one of us go first,
it is my prayer that it shall
be I; for he is strong, l am
weak, I am not so necessary
to him as he is to me-life
without him would not be
life; how could I endure it?
This prayer is also immortal,
and will not cease from being
offered up while my race
continues. l am the first
wife; and in the last wife
it will be repeated" ~s

The
Rambler
Muy Become
A Twain Expert
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

If this keeps up, the Ram
bier may become an expert
right now he's a fan-on
Mark Twain.
1t all happened, as almost
everything seems to happen,
through a series of accidents.
The first was a note calling
attention to the first YER
batim report on one of Mark
Twain's talks. 1t was in The
Evening Star after Marks
talk before the Washington
Correspondents Club on
January IL, 1868.
The second was the ap-
pearance of Hal Holbrook in
his remarkable imperSona-
tion of Mark at the White
House Correspondents birth
day dinner for President
Eisenhower on october IL.
The Washington Corre-
spondentS dinner not long
after the Civil War was a
stag affair. Marks huInor
was broad, and some of it
was in poor taste. He was
young-32.
Here's a sample:
Human intelligence can
not estimate what we owe to
woman, sir. She sews on our
buttons; she mends our
clothes. She ropes us in at
the church fairs; she con-
fldeS in us; she tells us what
ever she can find out about
the little private affairs Of
the neighbors. She gives US
advice, and plenty of it. -.
She bears our children-ours

Also expressing opposition to
the merit pay plan was Miss
Elizabeth D. Griffith, legislative
chairman of the Districts Ele-
mentary Classroom Teachers
Association. Every teacher ac-
cepted and retained in the pro-
fession must be highly compe-
tent for the position which he
holds" she said.
Board members last Thurs
day had questioned DR.. Han
sens proposal to give extended
service raises to teachers COM
pleting Is and 20 years in the
system. They thought these
boosts bringing the maximum
salary to $9,100, should be tied
to some criteria other than
simply the number of years
served.
Lone Endorsement

Endorsed a merit plan for top

sociation of Secondary School
Principals.

mel "can easily identify" teach
ing excellence. He also urged
that the salary differential be-
tween elementary and high
school principals be retained.
Qualified support for the
merit plan came from the
Lafayette Home and School
Association. It's legislation
chairman. Mrs. Arnold c.
Sternberg, called for "a thor
ough investigation of the pos
sibilitieS of a workable and fair
merit pay plan. understanding
that any such plan is fraught
with problems"
All for Higher Pay
All IA organizations repre-
sented at yesterdays hearing
strongly indorsed giving teach
ers more money. Most, how
ever. wanted some changes
made in DR.. Hansen's propo-
sal. Some proposed higher
starting salaries and a shorter
number of years for reaching
top scale. Others wanted less
differential between the sala-
ries of teachers and admins
trativei personnel. Additional
suggestions included adding a
fourth training level to the
teacher scale for those with
doctorateS, or the equivalent.
The School Board is not ex-
pected to take final action on
the pay proposal until its De-
cember meeting. Before then
DR.. Hansen, who personally op-
poses merit raises. will give
members a detailed analysis of
the advantages and disadvan-
tages of a merit plan.

TAe airp6 ! seYAge situation
has contAeVersy for a
Aitiafy. The fedefal Avia-
ton Agency proposed only a
modest treatment plant, to
dump airport sewage eff1uent
into the Potomac. Later, FAA
asked Congress for S3.2 million
to build trunk sewer from the
airport to connect with the
District system at Chain Bridge,
thereby eliminating any dis
charge into the river. When
Congress refused, the emphasis
turned to proposals for a more
extensive system - one that
would protect the water. sup
ply above Chain Bridge from
growth around the airport as
well as from the airport itself.
Mr.. Broyhill said he felt, the
idea of Federal loan or loan
guarantee would be attractive
both to the Federal Government
and to local authorities. The
local benefit, he said, is. that
the county or a local authority
would retain "flexibility"- to
design the system in a manner
that best met its needs. Fairfax
officials he has consulted concur
in this approach, he said,
Self-Liquidating,
"The growth of Fairfax coun-
ty is a certainty" he said. t"The
project would be self -liqtIidat-

and borrowing under this plan
would not affect limits on coun-

Latest "instants" to hit the
market are Pillsbury's new
instant mashed and quick
hash brown potatoes. Both
are items to keep in the
pantry shelf for anytime
use.
The hash browns are small,
perfect cubes of real Idaho
potatoes as uniform in size
as you could possibly wish.
To prepare, you simmer the
cubes in sailed water for
about Is minutes, drain,
brown in butter. AS a hash
brown fan, these are tops in
our opinion. Quick and easy
to fix, they're also convenient
to keep on hand. One pack
age makes eight servings.
With the instant mashed
potatoes, the preparation
time is even shorter. Here you
pour boiling water into the
serving bowl, add cold milk,
salt and butter: pour in the
potato flakes, wait a couple
minutes, then whip. Time?
Three minutes. You can't
beat that, can you? Eight
servings to the. box.
Billion Pounds
This week Safeway Stores,
Inc. roasted and sold its one
billionth pound of company
brand coffees.
How much is q billion
pounds? If you laid the
beans end to end, they'd
stretch to the moon and back
four times, company repre-
sentatives say. Or, If you
spread them on the ground,
they would cover nearly 100
square miles. If you used
them for coffee latter all
that's what they're intended
for). you'd have enough to
fill $4,000 Olympic size swim
ming pools.
In spite Of the rising cost
Of food, coffee prices have
come down in the past five
years. In 1854, the company's
Airway brand cost IS cents a
pound, today it's SIS cents.
Mob Hill sold for 81 cents in
1854, So cents now. The
vacuum-packed coffee was
$1.10 in 1854, the current
price is 81 cents.
