The Virginia Highway De-
partment will spend six times
as much money this fiscal year
as last for road construction
and improvement in Fairfax
County, the county supervisors
have been told.
Fred Burroughs, State High
way Department engineer, list
ed his departments tentative
budget for the current fiscal
year yesterday and presented
the supervisors with a list OF
the projects to be carried out
A total of $2.024,60 will be
spent on State maintained
roads in the county this year
compared with $1,350,422 listed
for the last fiscal year, Mr.
Burroughs said. This includes
construction, improvement and
other costs. The current fisca,
year began July /.
Last summer, Mr.. Burroughs
said, the highway department
worked on 400 to 500 miles OF
roadway in the county.
Mr.. Burroughs told the su-
pervisors the department will
spend $l,091 900 for road con-
struetion this year, $750,000 for
ordinary maintenance and
$182,955 for resurfacing and
similar road jobs.
The county's roads, virtually
all of which are owned by the
State. have been a source of
habitual complaint with resi-
dents in the past because there
never was enough money to Ak
all the potholes and widen the
narrow lanes.
The county expects to receive
even more State road money
in the future than it will this
year.

which show the county's popu-
lation has risen above 100000.
In separate action, the super
visors authorized the sale of
$8.5 million in school construc-
ton bonds requested by the
school board.
1t was the second time the
school board had taken the
spending proposals before the
supervisors.
The first time, a majority of
the supervisors indicated they
wanted bigger auditoriums and
gymnasiums at two proposed
high schools and an addition
to Bush Hill Elementary School.

"Oil is different" she goes

Besides" she adds with
a quick smile, "oil is the most

she admits, Il let my violin
express itself on canvas"
An outspoken advocate of
the future of art, Miss Os-
burn believes that painting
has become more vital to our
lives today than in the past.
The mechanization of society
has at the same time freed
man and made it essential
for him to perform some
creative work with his hands.
Society needs arts now more
than ever before"
Her prediction may be at
least partially proven next
week, when local artists, ex-
pected to number some 1900,
begin their yearly exhibit at
the outdoor Art Fair.

FavOrite Subject
The walls of her cheerful
Wisconsin avenue studio are
covered with these semi
distractions, many of them
seaScapes-"the weight of
water and rock is a terrific
subiect-my favorite," and
with studies of a violin. The
latter is a holdover from
Miss Osburn's early musical
ambition. She studied the
violin for 10 years till she
found the two arts of music

She Plays Hide and Seek
Miss Osburn Describes Her Art Technique

The works of a local artist
and her pupils will share
equal billing Thursday when
the D. c. Recreation Depart
ment opens its second annual
outdoor Art Fair on the
grounds south of the White
House.
The painter is Miss Sally
Osburn, art teacher at the
Guy Mason Recreation Cen
ter, whose works will be
placed in the professional"
category of the exhibit. On
view in the amateur" class
lfication will be some 80
paintings done by her pupils
at the Center.
A native WaShingtonian
who began painting at the
age of eight, Miss OSburn has
been at Guy Mason since
1856. Her teaching there,
which totals eight hours a
week, is all individual in
struction.
It's an expression, not an
art history class" is the
definition of Miss Osburn.
Il try to bring out the natu-
raj bent-whatever it is-in
an individuals own style. At
the same time I try to give
the student an appreciation
OF what's happening in his
work"

Art instruction at Guy Ma
