one man from the same family
was hospitalized but left the
hospital 10 days ago against
medical advice.
Meningitis, according to DR..
Kennedy, "is very likely to
spread in overcrowded condi-
tions," but the disease is very
rare" in the county.
Meningitis once was nearly
always fatal, DR.. Kennedy
noted. But modern drugs have
enabled doctors to cure persons
stricken with the disease.
DR.. Kennedy said he would
attempt to put the remaining
residents of the house on medi-
cation. If so, he said, quaran-
tine will not be necessary.
The families living in the
house have been using a single
outside pit privy, but DR.. Ken
nedy said he intended to order
privies installed for each

New Study

The Fairfax Board of County
Supervisors, which, for years
has been studying means of
preventing nearby cities from
annexing large pieces of county
land. decided to study the mat
ter some more yesterday.
After Is minutes of discus
sion over whether all board
members should study it OF
only a few, the supervisors de-
cided that only a few would
examine the facts, then report
to all.
The subject had been set for
consideration a month age
when Chairman Anne Wilkins
suggested that the board dis
cuss the possibility of consoli-
dating with one of the county's
four towns in the hope of pre-
venting annexation attempts.

The RIA board directed Mr..
Rulon to put his plan into writ
ing and submit to the agency by
tomorrow. The board then is
expected to holda special meet
ing Wednesday to consider the
Rulon recommendations.
Staffers Of the urban re-
newal agencies fear the process
may delay things. They had
hoped to submit the Smith plan
to the National Capital Plan
ming Commission for approval
at its April 6 meeting. This
still may be possible though
the timing is tight.
Chairman Neville Miller of
the RIA said he invited Mr..
Rulon to submit his proposal
to the board, adding that the
Smith plan can always be
amended"
However, the staffs of the
RIA, planning commission and
District Office of Urban Re-
newal have done so much work
on the Smith plan that no
wholesale revamping effort is
expected to succeed at this
juncture. But delays are likely.

Alexandria school officials
are preparing to fight pro-
posed $317,625 slash in their
budget for next year.
The cut, they say, could
cripple efforts to raise teacher
pay and relieve overcrowding
in the city'S high schools.
The school officials deny they
agreed to the $317,625 cut in
their budget.
Mayor Leroy S. Bendheim
told the city council Tuesday,
however, that the school board
agreed that afternoon to the
budget cut, recommended by
Eugene L. Barnwell, acting city
manager.
School Supt. T. c. Williams
said he will ask the school board
to hold the line on their initial
request of $6.639,324.
The superintendent said he
may summon public support
for the request, which ear
marked $305,775 for teacher pay
raises and $284,000 for addi-
tional teachers, some to re-
lieve overcrowding in Ham
mond High School.

proposed cut, school officials

The students involved in the
earlier demonstration also were
allowed to request additional
books, but a jailer said the

Mr.. Stockard also asserted
that under Mr.. Reid's direction

that he considers Mr.. Reid "a
fine man personally"
The ABC Council after hear
ing the exchange voted to rec

add funds in next years budget
to begin construction of multi
purpose rooms at the four
schools in the county which do

An Arlington school board
member last night strongly
rebuked School Supt. Ray Reid
and questioned the desirability
of retaining him.
James G. Stockard charged
that Mr.. Reid has failed tc
provide "the leadership we are
paying for and deserve"
He challenged the super
intendent's attitude toward
all facets of desegregation that
have arisen"
He also asserted that Mr.
Reid has to be dragged, kick
ing and screaming into the

has been "supercautiouS" in
developing new school pro-
grams.
Asked for comment today,
Mr.. Reid replied: THE state

However, another school
board member, Mrs. Elizabeth
Campbell. vigorously defended
Mr.. Reid and disputed the
statements made at a meeting
Of the executive council of the
non-partisan coalition, Arling-
tonians For a Better County.
Last week, she joined a ma

Women Are Better
Campers Than Men

The gleam in your hus-
bands eye at the words
camping vacation" may give
you shivers but the % mil
lion tent-pitchers o. last
year testify that camping is
fun for the entire family.
Experience has shown that
women take to camping with
ease and usually prove better
campers than men.
The following tips may add
to family camping fun:
/. Rent or borrow equip
ment before you buy. Try out
items such as tent, cots,
sleeping bags. air mattresses,
lanterns, portable ice box and
stove before making a size
able investment. Many reli-
able sports stores will rent
equipment or steer you to
the right outlet. Try army
surplus stores to save money.
2. Tent size is important.
A small tent is always the
cheapest, but look for a tent
large enough for your fam
lily to sit inside after your
sleeping bags or cots are set
up.
3. Take only useful clothes
since space is at a minimum.
Waterproof shoes or boots,
sweaters, and slackS, prefer
ably wash and wear, are al
ways handy. Take along spare
blankets even if you use sleep
ing bags.
4. Rain is not necessarily a
hazard. Take along a large
tarpaulin or shelter half to
mount on poles or trees for a
dry space for cooking and
eating. In heavy winds mount
your shelter half vertically to
block out the breezes. A tent
with waterproof flooring will
keep sleeping quarters dry. A
portable two-burner gasoline
stove is a welcome precau-
tion since a downpour rem
ders an outdoor fireplace USE
less. Plan a list of activities
for bad days such as motor
trips, movies, museums, COM
munity exhibits.
S. Spray before you tent.
Use a bug bomb around the
area of your campsite be-
fore you put up your tent.
Take along a good insect re-
