• Five directors are to be elected at the annual school election next Tuesday. The Forum makes this suggestion of putting at least two women on the board. As far as we know, there has never been a woman member of the board, nor a woman on the Fairfax Board of Aldermen. Women have as much right to serve on the board as men do. They are just as competent and there are numerous Fairfax women who have the qualifications to serve as directors.

• It’s been a while since many of us have purchased gasoline for 12.5 cents per gallon. In fact, some of us have never seen such low prices and probably never will. But in 1931, Charles L. Moore and his brother, J.W., opened Moore Bros. Oil Co. in Fairfax and motorists could buy eight gallons of gas for a dollar. Charlie’s career spanned more than 44 years until his retirement in October of 1975 and Moore Bros. Oil Co. was purchased by MFA Oil Co.
