4-H CLUB FASHIONS—Barbara Reynolds, 17, of

4-H Club Week Draws \
1,350 to U. of Maryland
Some 1,850 youngster* signed
up yesterday for the 33d annual
4-H Club week at the University
of Maryland, but no group of
them had the situation better in
hand than the King family from
Montgomery County—nine in all.
This is only the second year
Sandra Lee, 14, of Woodfleld has
attended, but already she knows
enough to have had herself ap
pointed a registration page.
“My job was to help those
who needed it, and there were
plenty who did,” she exclaimed.
All the Montgomery girls are
staying in St. Mary’s Hall, and
Sandrra Lee has drawn Opal,
14. a neighboring cousin, for a
roommate.
Dresses in Review
“We both can sew pretty good,
but the dresses we entered in the
first dress review contest didn’t
win," Opal said. "1 think it’s
because we don’t model so well.”;
The young homemakers, who
live on farms and attend Damas
cus High School, have selected a
list of classes for the week that)
include the storing of clothes,!
planning luncheon menus, wear
ing accessories, and one called
“How Do We Like Ourselves?” j
Both consider the 4-H week
one of the years’ highlights. Opal
earned her money to attend by
keeping house for an aged
woman.
Concern Over Boys
The two already have shown
concern that there probably
won’t be enough boys on hand
for square dances.
“That’s the way it always is ”
Opal reported. “Girls outnum
ber the boys, and when the boys
do come they just want to talk
to other boys instead of dance.”
Dorothy, 15. who is Opel’s
sister, would hke to learn to run
a tractor, so that ths two girls
can team up on a farm of their
own.
“First, I want to be an artist
or a nurse, and Opal wants to
be a teacher,” Dorothy said.
“Well operate the farm after
we’re settled in our other jobs.”
Used to more responsibility;
then she is burdened this week
is Betty Mae, 15, of Monrovia,
another King cousin, who at
home has to prepare breakfast
and supper for her father and I
sisters, age 12, 11, 10. 8, 6. 5,3,
and a nine-year-old brother.
Her mother died two years ago.
Turns at Dishes
"I also buy the groceries, but
we all take turns doing the!
dishes, and then some of my;
sisters and brother run the
tractor and do the milking every
morning," she said.
Making her first stop at a 4-H
club week is Gloria King, 12. of
Clarksburg, also a eousin and a
sister of Paul King, also in at
tendance.
“I like dairy work the best,
and have two cows and two heif
ers, including a calf 1 care for
myself,” she explained.
Other Kings on the College
Park campus this week are Jack,
13, of Woodfleld, and Anita, 18,
of Boyds.
Absenre Explained
The adult member of the
family delegation is Mrs. Har
rison King, wife of a member of!
the Montgomery County School!
Board. Mrs. King said her coun-|
ty’s showing of 75 girls and 16
boys probably means that most.

Fairfax County’s proposed 1
five-year, S2O-million school con
struction program got a shot
in the arm last night with the
organization of the Fairfax
j County School Bond Co-ordi

j from S2O to $25 million.

ity’s director of school surveys j
and Information, told the coun
cil the five-year program would
build 20 new elementary schools,
three new high schools and ad
jdltions to existing school build
[ ings. The 557 new classrooms
are to help take care of an
estimated 47,500 pupils In 1960.

and a lawyer in the District,
was elected permanent chairman
of the school bond council. C.

recently established Green Com- i
mission to “study” the roads ]

the Virginia Lutheran summer

a record crowd with the ehal- ■
lenge to “set our lives by Jesus [
Christ.”
This is the 26th summer as- j
sembly of the Lutheran Synod ,

chairmen.
Attend as Observers
However, both men—Guy Bayes
; for the Democratic County Com

t the Republic County Committee
—made it clear they were at
tending as observers only.
I Fears of some Federal em
ployes were calmed by Mr. Quen
stedt, who said the school bond
is not a political issue and that
work for the school bond is not
political activity.
The School Board Is to get a
requested report on the proposed
five-year program on Thursday;

tion, signed by 1,000 qualified

Fire Chiefs Hear
Talk by Harrison
STAUNTON, Va., Aug. 9 UP).
—While critical of many of its
actions. Representative Harrison
Democrat, of Virginia, maintains
the opinion that the 84th Con
igress managed to get away from
Washington without doing “too
much harm.”
And he added, “it could have
done much worse,” in an address
last night here before the State
Fire Chiefs Association of Vir
ginia annual convention.
As an example, said the 7th
District Congressman, it could
"have admitted Hawaii to state
hood.”
Mr. Harrison singled out public
housing legislation for his bitter
est attack. He said that the
Government must spend $14,000
to maintain each SII,OOO housing
unit it rents to low income fami
lies.
He declared It would be better
to give the housing away rather
than manage it wastefully. :
The fire chiefs were to con
clude their two-day session!
today.
