TeIstor Described At
BPW Club Dinner

The Durant Business and
Professional Women's Club
was fortunate in having as
their guest speaker at a re-
cent dinner meeting a repre-
sentative from the Southern
Bell Telephone Company,
Mr.. John Edwards, traffic
manager. He talked on the
Telstar and showed an inter-
esting film. The film was not
only a beautiful picture but
was educational. Mr.. Ed
wards gave the history Of
Telstar from the very begin
ming in the Bell Laboratories
to it's launching at Cape Can
averal. 1t was enlightening
to know that the care given
Telstar was the same as
would be given to a patient
in the most immaculate hos
pital; that the most skilled
and trained men handled Tel
star from the time it was be-
gun until it was completed.
Mr.. Edwards also stated that
Telstar was launched with
out one cent of cost to the
u. S. Government, that even
the launching pad was rent
ed by Bell Company. Mr. Ed
wards explained the Rule OF
Communications In Our Ma
tional Defense.
Mrs. Mable Sim m n S,
chairman of the National Sc
curity Committee, introduced
the speaker. She was assisted
in the arrangement of her
program by her co-commlt-
tee chairmen, Mrs. Faye
Owen, Mrs. Doris Bell, Mrs.
Cora Lee B~razeale and Mrs.
Erma White.
Mrs. Lucille Truitt, presi-
dent of the club, gave the in
vocation and welcomed the
members and guests. MI w.
L. Buddy Cook also a mem
Der of the Southern Bell
Company force was a guest.
Hostesses at dinner were
Mrs Roberta York, Mrs. Low

The compromise was to SET

that Ia per cent per month

CoveII Sees Advantage
To Police Living in D. c.

Deputy Police Chief Howard
Covell said today that 1t would
be "a definite advantage" to
the District II all Washington
policemen lived in the city.
However, he said, the District
does not have enough medium
rent housing facilities to per-
NIT all policemen to live in the
city on their salaries, which
start at $500.
Deputy Chief Covell made
these statements at q meeting
Of the Citizens Council Of the
District Of Columbia. which is
considering whether certain
police qualifications should be
changed to enable more Dis
trict residents to join the Met
ropolitan Police Department.
william Bryant. council vice
chairman, asked whether Dis
trict policemen can comply
with the law that they be on
duty "a hours a day If they live
outside the city.
Few Want to Join
Chief Covell said that II he
could find more qualified Dis
trict residents who want to be
policemen, he would certainly
take them.
However. he said that few
people want to be policemen
and as a result the District has
to send recruiting teams to
other States from time to time
to help get sufficient men.
District policemen are now
permitted by law to live as far
away as 20 miles from the
Capitol. Chief Covell replied t.
a question that he did not have
information with him on the
number Of policemen who live
inside the District and those
who live outside.

Chief Covell was asked about

that the maximum age for en-

But Alexandria declared that

Need Stable Tax Base
Fairfax Supervisor William

mittee that to defray the
mounting cost of urbanization,
the county must have a stable
tax base, which can be pro-
vided only II 1t is defended
against augmentation.
He said that within Fairfax
now there are Is communities
which under present law repre-
sent potential cities.
Can you imagine 10 separate
school systems, 10 separate
police departments, 10 separate
planning staffs and planning
commissions governed by more
than 100 legislators?" he asked
IF our county is dismem-
bered by q series of internal
interpretations and annexations
all jurisdictions involved will
suffer, as will the State OF
Virginia. None will have a tar
base adequate to provide the
necessary services to the people
