Group Proposes
Perpetual Care For
Oakland Cemeteries

A proposal for perpetual care
at the Oakland cemeteries was
pr. s2ntcd to the Mayor and Town
Counci. of Oak and at regular
meeting Monday night.

luton approving the pan in princi-
Pile, which was "a plan to assume
maintenance and control of the
Oakland cemetery, composed Of
Catholic, Episcopal, Odd Fellows
and Dawson cemeteries on per-
petual care basis, to be financed
by an inlGal contribution from lot
owners, to be placed in a trust fund
created for this purpose and from
operation of Che various ceme-
teries, and that committee OF
two be appointed to serve with
the Leiqhton committee to make
a detailed report at a later date. "
Appoined on the committee were
Earl Roth and Erwin S. Smith, who
would report back to the council
after studying the project.
Mr.. Thayer indicated there were
7C0 lots in the various cemeteries.
1t was suggested lot owners give
an initial fund of 500 or more,
that the city council take over the
care of the cemetery, that Walter
w. Dawson would turn over what
lots remain in his cemeteries to
the town, and that interest from
the trust fund would be used to
pay for the upkccp of the area.

The mobile unit that fire COM

community worth in practical
way.
Terra Alta sent one truck here

It was estimated that firemen
used some 250OO0 gallons of water

water supply system of the town,
there was sufficient for all needs.
Homer Bennett, of ROlyan's had
200 sandwiches and gallons of cof-
fee ordered from Hinebaugh's, for
use of firemen. Just before the
order Guy William had offered
sandwiches and coffee too.
James Rock was a casualty also

The man told Mr.. Shea he

a month from the drivers.
Specific amounts, the clerk

In the early days Of the pro-

who helped recipients pick up
their food. The volunteers usu-
ally lived in the neighbor-

recipients, and often were
parishioners of one Of the
churches where the food was
distributed.
The supply volunteers d.

BUGGING THE UNIVERSE
Integrution Path Open
To Fort BeIvoir Pupils

Education and Welfare last year
adopted a policy insisting that
Negroes living on military bases
not be compelled to go to
segregated schools in surround
ing communities.
1t has indicated that If they
are so compelled the Govern
ment might go so far as to
build schools on military bases
and remove children of military
families from the public schools
Of the adjoining community.
The Government now main
tains an integrated elementary
school at Fort Belvoir but pays
Fairfax County to educate
some 500 students from the
base in higher grades.
HEW Awaits Report
School board member Martha
Gertwagen Tuesday proposed
that, in compliance with the
HEW directive. the county
automatically place the IL
Negro pupils who will be grad
uated from elementary school
in Walt Whitman next Sep

all Fort Belvoir pupils be auto
matically assigned to the near

gard to race.
An HEW spokesman yester-

what it did Tuesday.

likelihood that it will seek any

which automatically would have
assigned 13 Negro pupils from

next fall rather than requiring
them to enroll in the all-Negro
