IN FAIRFAX
Housewife
Goes Back
To School

School bells are ringing again
for a 31-year-old Virginia
housewife, now a sophomore at
Fairfax High School.
Mrs. Elizabeth Darlington re-
turned to classes yesterday for
the first time in II years.
She was IA when she had to
quit high school in her former
hometown of Fancy Farm, KY,
because of her mothers death
and the necessity to care for
her younger brother.
Now, Mrs. Darlington is de-
termined to get the high school
diploma she missed and pos
sibly to extend her education
beyond that.
She is doing so at daytime
classes with classmates young
enough to be her own children
and with full approval of Fair
fax County school officials.
The question of whether Mrs.
Darlington should be per-
mitted to attend school again
during the day. rather than at
night, was brought up last
night by county school board
members after the housewife
! 1already had beer accepted at
the school.
They finally granted approval
of the older-th usual stu
dent.
Mrs. harrington, who lives in
a trailer about a mile from the
school with her husband. Wiley,
said her first day back was a
hectic one. She wore fiat shoes,
a white blouse and checkered
skirt. She said mo one seemed
to notice that I was any older
than the rest"
She has enrolled in classes
in algebra, English, Spanish
biology and history.
How does her husband, an
employe of an air-conditioning
firm, feel about her going back
to school?
"He thinks it's wonderful, y

hurried to drive to school today

fraudulent practices IN the
home improvement field.
The bill was one of seven To-
cal measures approved by the
President. One of the others
allows the District to borrow
up to $32 million to fight Poto-
mac River pollution. The
money would be used for sewer
construction.
The home improvement meas
ure moved through Congress
in record time after The Star,
in it's "Homeowner Beware" Sc
ries, exposed the practices that
victimized Washington area
homeownerS.
Effective in 80 Days
The legislation goes into ef-
feet in 80 days. Corporation
Counsel Chester Gray said his
Office was working on the regu-
lations to carry out the licens-
ing and bonding provisions.
Although home improvement
has become a big industry in
| Washington, neither the home
repair contractors nor their
statesmen have ever been Ii
censed and supervised here.
AS The Star series pointed
out, f1y-by-night promoters and
their fast-talking statesmen
preyed on the homeowner's
natural desire to fix up his
home. Upethical practices
ranged from getting money for
work that was never started
or never completed to talking
unwilling homeowners into
signing second mortgages on
their homes to pay inflated
home repair bills.
When the contractors took
the money and decamped, SUBJ
contractors who had performed
the work sought payment from
the homeowner through me-
chanics' liens - although the
homeoWner had already paid
the prime contractor.
!. Paying Twice Now Unlikely
h The new legislation protects
homeowners from paying the
same bill twice by providing
that proof of payment will be
a defense against and render
void a mechanics lien.
The home improvement bill
was introduced in the House
on June 81 and in the Senate
two days later. 1t passed the
Senate before Congress took its
convention recess and cleared
the House on August 26.
The Stars "Homeowner Be-
ware" series was designed to
educate homeowners to guard
against unethical practices as
well as to highlight the need

chatter. On this occasion
Lee was sitting next to his
father, who was driving.
Chevy" Lee would say as
they passed a Chevrolet;
"Caddy," for a Cadillac.
Questioning brought out
that he knew the foreign
cars, especially the sports
models. Now this is not un-
common for children of 8
and 4, but Lee is not yet 3.
Lee has a great uncle by
marriage who is a friend of
the Rambler's. The uncle
was SO impressed with Lees
knowledge of automobiles
that he insisted I go out with
him and watch Lee on a test
run.
He had some difficulties in
pronunciation. The Rambler
the car, not this writer
was IAN Amber" That was
probably due to his japanese
coach. But Lee identified a
Renault with a fine French
roll of the "R."
To Lee, the Mercedes Benz
is just plain "Missus Benz"
Cars have changed greatly
in appearance during the
last few years because of
the introduction of the big
tail fins. The Plymouth was
small in appearance until it
pioneered in the long sweep
of fins on the rear fender.
Lee was able to identify 1854
Plymouths as we'll as 1959S
and 1960s. He was as good
at other makes. And he
had a keen eye for the new
compact cars, the Falcon, the
Corvair and the Valiant.

with keen perception and
lively curiosity who was born

Lee Gardiner Nichols will

There are many children
of his age who can talk a

Lee has been in this coun-
try less than a year. He
was born in Japan, where
his father served as a For
eign Service officer of the

Lees family has roots in
Japan as well as many gen.
erationS in America. The
father was born in Japan,
where his father was a mis-
sionary Episcopal bishop.
Lee understands and speaks
Japanese as we'll as English
in a rudimentary sort of
way.
He spends a great deal of
time with .Konji Hara, the
Nichols japanese house boy.
Because of this, Lees ac-
quaintance with the Japan
ese tongue did not end when
he left Japan shortly after
his second birthday. Konji
talks Japanese to him con-
stantly,
Sometimes Konji takes Lee
for a walk from the Nichols
home at 1888 RittenhouSe

prefers to take Lee for a ride
in the Nichols Jaguar sedan.
Konji is very interested in
automobiles. They are a big
part of his American expert
