Foirfux Budget Cutters
ToEnd At Teocher Jobs

If the suggested budget cuts
are sustained. the resulting to-
tai reduction of $632,93O would
allow a 10 per cent reduction III
the $3.77 tax rate deemed nec-
essary to finance the overall
$50 million budget proposed for
the new fiscal year.
Currently, Fairfax County
has a $3.75 tax rate but as the
result of a reassessment pro-
gram last year the dollars and
cents increase on that tax rate
would mean county residents
would pay an average of % per
cent more into the county
treasury.
Other suggested cuts include
eliminating a $4,000 plan which
would have given teachers with
a masters degree and 80 addi-

$3.50 more than their base scale.

ing positions, holding begin
ming salaries to $4,500 and
scaling down contingency funds

Official action on the tenta-

Currently the teaching salary

a modest step toward develop

money would be divided, ac-
cording to criteria yet to be
determined, among deserving
teachers with is or more years

School authorities think they
will receive an additional $780,

as a result of expansion Of
Arlington's tax base, including
some increases in property as

"If the SIS million we re-

Epiphany

There is an old Portuguese carol which sings of
the Epiphany in these words:
"Out of the Orient they came ariding
Three noble kings, of humble heart and mild,
They came to see the Blessed Lord of Heaven
Descend to earth, to be a little child.
Precious gifts of gold and myrrh and incense,
Bringing God the gifts which God has made:
Low the kings in homage bowling,
AT the feet of Mary laid"
The Venerable Bede, who gave foundation to
the popular tradition that there were three of the Magi
named Melchior, Gaspar, and Bathasar, says the gold
was to acknowledge Christ's klngship, the incense to
adore Him as God, and the myrrh to p~refigure His
sacrificial death.
sINcE THE MAGIS visit to the manger repre-
presents the manifestation of God to the Gentiles, we
of Western Christendom have always regarded the
feast Of the Epiphany most highly.
Besides the l~iturgical observance of the great
feast we should offer the gold of our loyalty TO Christ
the King; the incense of alteration to Christ our God;
and the myrrh of our love to Christ our Redeemer.
WE DO THIS IN practice by making Christ the
King of our hearts and actions; adoring Him privately
and publicly, and loving Him through Holy Communion
and service.
Because the Epiphany has special meaning for all
Christian gentiles we can well pray that the traditional
blessing of this feast may be applied to all in the Dio-
cese:
BLESS. o Lord, almighty God. these thy servants,
that within may be found good health. chastity, the
power of spiritual victory. humility, goodness. meek
ness, the pIeniiude of law, and Thanksgiving TO God,
the Father. Son, and Holy Spirit: and may this bless
ing remain in US forever. Amen" -GAF

we had more often. For a

cial services? Do par e o $
teach them only their duty to

our future generation. Will
our churches in the future
be empty for all extra SER

yet | like to think that I am

having any reason to be cyni-

full that all branches of the

When tensions are in

If, for instance, one has
faith and sees Gods will
in sickness and misfortune
and believes sthat things will
come out all right then ten
sion will not make you one
Of its victims.
II, however, you believe that
your fate is in your own hands
and that when things do not
work out well you have only
yourself to blame, then you
develop not only tensions but
guilt. Guilt is generally not
involved. Hope in God is rath-
er your first approach. Ten
sions are caused by threats
against security but threats
evaporate when God enters
the picture.
GOD ALSO WANTS us to
use human associates and this
is the second rule. When ten
sions trap you it is necessary
to seek out a person you re-
spect and who respects you:
someone in whose maturity
and judgment you have con-
fidence and who listens with
sympathy and understanding:
someone who will keep what
you say confidential. Some
