We have been studying about
Argentina We have learned about
the climate, rainfall, and the diff
ferent crops. One of the main
crops is alfalfa, which is used
mainly for fattening beef cattle.
Some cattle may weigh 1000 pounds
and eat alfalfa and weigh 5000
pounds. In Argentina cattle are
slaughtered by the thousands to
provide beef for many countries.

Animals and how they. lived about
200 million years ago. Scientists
have found fossils of animals that
lived on the. earth about 500 mill

bones together they found out what
the animals looked like. The first
horses were about the size of po-

have been making things out of
paper, such as pianos, bird houses,

diagrams on the blackboard and

to. do is to keep our ears open and
know how to follow directions.
Soon we will not have to look at

Thomas w. Richards, whose
Arlingtonians for q Better

In . Negro neighborhood known

Location Of a geographical
nature such as will best serve
the purposes for which. this
school Is being built should be
the primary consideration Of
the board" Supt. T. c. williams
told the city's school board.
"Unquestionably this geo.
graphical location Is excellent
to serve those purposes" he
said.
Mr.. Williams last month
urged the city council to take
fast action on a new high school
for the city to ease overcrowd-
ing in its other two predomi-
nantly white high schools. The
new school would serve a pre-
dominantly white area.
Eviction Trick Seen
The proposal to build the new
school on the 3O-acre site,
which adjoins q community Of
expensive white homes on one
side and q large apartment de-
velopment on the other, has
met with angry opposition from
both Negro residents and some

In other business, the board
was told by Mr.. williams that
u former public school pupils
attending private white schools
applied for State tuition grants
for the 1860 session.
The board received nine pro-
posed teacher pay scales from
Mr.. Williams. The school
boards budget for the next rs
cal year must be submitted to
the city by December /.
s2sS.sOO Cost Estimate
The cheapest new proposal
would raise starting pay for
city teachers from $4,000 q year
to $4,000 and boost the present
maximum Of $1,000 after IS
years Of experience to $500
after IS years.
That proposal. MIR. williams
said. would cost the city $685.
800 for next year.
The most expensive proposal
made by Mr.. Williams calls for
raising starting pay to $4,000
and maximum pay to $500
after 10 years Of experience.
Cost details on the other
seven proposals were not re-
vealed BY the board. Mr.. VIII
liams explained the proposals
have not been considered by the
school board and said publicity
might affect pay-raise handling
by the city council.
The board approved the ap.
pointment Of eight new teach
ers to city schools. The move

Representative Broyhill and
his Democratic opponent Ralph
Kaul, their anger rising as
campaign days dwindle. have
hoped from q sewer fight to a
bridge battle.
Mr.. Kaul continues to assert
that his opponent voted against
the Theodore Roosevelt Bridge.
He is telling Northern Vir-
ginians that whenever they be-
come angry at traffic jams. they
also should get mad at Mr.:
Broyhill for helping cause them.
"To 60 around making state
ments like that borders on be-
ing completely dishonest" Mr..
Broyhill declared yesterday at q

merce luncheon.
Mr.. Br0yhill said that In lS94
Congress approved his bill
authorizing the bridge, but that
disputes among Government
agencies about its location de-
layed It's construction. and that
later the House and Senate dis
agreed about whether it should
be o drawbridge.
Opposed Amendment
He reported that in an effort
to obtain an acceptable crossing,
he then proposed building a
tunnel. but that a "monstrous"
amendment calling for erection
Of a fixed drawbridge" was
tackled on his bill.

lous amendment which, even
If written correctly, would not
have resolved the problems,
Mr.. Broyhill said.
