The Miller School is in that lovely moun-, tainous section, chose by the University ©f Virginia! * • , ;< The boys were given an historical quiz and when I,read seme of the answer! to 'the quiz, I was not surprised tt|»t the faculty was appalled at the ignorance of youn# America on this subject. I sympathize for when living in theatmosphere of Harvard and Radcliffe I, too, was appalled at the ignorance oi coitege ajuaencs on ?this same subject. The “intensive teaching'’ of history for a period of two weeks was the plan of the Miller School; It seems to one that this plan may do*much to arouse interest but not even the young can store up* too much knowledge in so short a time. They hope to do" away with Vtories, fables and halftruths.” Speak not contemptuously of all eucht These need to be’ passed on by a wise censor as do the movies and much of our literature for the young. One complaint was that a boy knew well the story of Captain John Smith and nothing of ourpresent-day Harry Byrd. There is nothing wrong about knowing, the story of our early heroes even though they be somewhat legendary. While Harry Byrd’s life makes a wonderful story telling the whole instead of the halftrutih\Some boys will be interested because of all the apple trees he has’grown—most boys like apples. Others will be glad that a boy could beeome a great governor and go to the U. S.' Senate when he had not had tim* to go to college. This will lead to the foot that he-is a-good business man and* is trying to keep us out of the poorhouss* and perhaps a discussion of the ‘‘new deal” and the “fair deal." How near or how far was Mr. Byrd from be*, longing to either? Then, from whence came he? His ancestorsfounded a city. HU brother went to the South Pole. What material we have here for the historical story! Tell a jfew personal happenings in His everyday life to bring alive our story and the great man becomes just folks like you and me. Not being one of you, I apoloto you teachers for twitting-in on a history lesson. As I see it, the solution of the problem would be to get the youth of our country interested in its history by giving - them books they will like to read. Do not banish the historical story, for in doing so you will -destroy the means by which Virginia’s children are taught her beautiful way of life through the years to the present, time. Our legends are but the poetic thought of a people. Grounded in the story of a people, their political and scientific growth as a country will follow “as the night tile day.” May the serious and intensive teaching of the Miller School hear fruit in that they teach the lads to think—historically!

Rappahannock News Published Thursday Morning Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia at Dial Washington 2851 lAJCV CATHERINE BOWIE Publisher Application for entry as secondclass matter is pending, y :*2.Subscription:_$2.00 a'year EDITORIAL From The Editor's Desk Long periods of darkness and twilight, adverse Weather, holidays, football crowds and increased drinking are some of the factors making this a deadly traffic season, particularly for pedestrian's. _ ' ‘from the pedestrian's point of tier, three sets of figures should hit harder than an automobile. Last year in Virginia, 2231 pedestrians were listed as involved in' accidents. -Of these, 2022 -were -classified as injured and 209 as killed. Add*8022 and 209 and" you get your 2231 right haek^fn other ■words, pedestrians do not ham steel bodies to protect them and do hot, as do many drivers, survive an accident unscathed. (Right or wrong, pitting flesh and bone against 3000 pounds of steel is something to be avoided and yeu don't walk away when you do. Switching to the driver: sure, the pedestrian is in sane jy at fault fat more times than the general public realizes. However, the mbtorist who hits one is Usually In for remorse, the toils of the law and the manifestations of the' legal mind. Fortune may favor the brave but the underdog is' favored by public opinion, so re-’ * member the pedestfian is the unr derdog and juries are the public. All of us should never forget that, unless we are bedridden, at one time Or another we are pedestrians and potential pedestrian fatalities. * This Could Be You In one of our rural sections, a <3river was transporting an old gentleman and a small dog in the back seat .of his car. Along the way he. encountered a largo snapping turtle which was crossing the road so ho captured it for eoap and stowed it in the back seat. The old gentleman and the dog didn’t like this arrangement. Neither did the turtle and a wild melee ensued. The driver, reaching back to. separate the contestants, . was 1 painfully bitten in the hand, lost control of the car, and endedv against a stump. Fortunately, no. -one was hurt and property damage was slight We forgot to say the turtle did t^e biting. Many more serious accidents are caused by driver distractions •ueh as dogs, bees, children, mothers-in-law and sweethearts. If you must settle something in the ,* car, stop and pull off the road. Why We Chose Rappahannock County . When ready to enter that pe. riod of life that Walter Pitkin calls “The Best Tears,” after ——roaming oxer the face of the earth, we decided to settle in Rap- jjahannock county. We Iptd lived in Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, California, New ..York, Pittsburgh, North Carolina, , Shanghai, China,, Berlin, Germany , and Geneva, Switzerland. We had -seen the beauties of Japan, spent our vacations in the lofty Alps of Switzerland, enjoyed the balmy winters of Alabama and Mississippi, travelled over Central Europe and in England. But when the time came to settle down for the period of life that should bring happiness and tranquility, we turned .our faces to Rappahannock county, where we had spent many happy days and where we could count many kindly friends. In addition to good friends^ without which life can his very ' barren, we chbse this section for other reasons. Ono it the beautiful, ever-changing scenery, of at TCfor twentynseven years.' Alps and the Alleghenies and the Great Smokies have their type of beauty, but to us the beau- ‘ *i*s ®f the Blue Ridge do tomothipg to the soul that others do not. The clear, crisp, bracing mountaia air, th# evening breezes that * ope tt <}ralr up a little cover oa otherwise wtrfff aununer nights; the clear mdCatein streams the dogwood and pink-bud and apple blossoms in spring and glorious color in autumn—thess all beckoned os to come and settle down, which w« did. . When aa otherwise attractive section Is located on well-travelled aatkae1 highways, with rrrtwf ■ ■Charlottesville, and each nice towns as Culpeper, Luray, Warrenton, front Royal and Fredericksburg; and wh%re all the comforts of life found in the city can be enjoyed without the subway rush, dust, noise and' confusion cf city life, and surrounded by gentle, kindly people—who can blame us for wanting to spend the ‘best years’ of our lives here in Rappahannock county? , S.

Apple blossoms in autumn or other spring flowers blooming in - the fall often bring series to the /U, £>. Dept, of Agriculture, as to the reason for such unseasonal bloom. People often believe that mild fall weather, fools na- “ .tore in to supposing spring has arrived. Quite a different explanation comes from horticulturists Of the U.-.SL Department of Agriculture. They say that out of season bloom usually indicates that a tree or plant has gone through hard times and is flowering in order to survive or perpetuate its line. During a long sunny fall a tree may suffer fTom drought so that it loses its leaves. As a result it puts out new leaves^ and also blooms to avoid extinction. This year many apple and pear trees near Washington, D. C., lost their leaves from disease. Many of these trees were blooming in October and some were in almost full loons lIMfllllllMIIMMlHIimtlf HI***" •FOR EXPERT Plumbing and Heating CAUL R. J.

Birthday Party • ' Mr*. David Cotbin entertained at a birthday party at her home in Flint Hill on Saturday evening in celebration of the fifth birthday anniversary of,her - eon, Richards. .« ' Homemakers* Items ‘ Sandpapering the soles of a baby's new shoes before they are worn may keep him from slipping, and so prevent many falls. Many homemakers like the idea of keeping a bottle of vinegar on hand with several cloves of garlic and a few pods of red peppers in it. Such vinegar is particularly pleasing in flavor when used in making mayonnaise or French dressing for Vegetable salads, and is delicious, too, when poured over a roast of lamb or beef. For a satisfactory homemade ■ floor polisher, build a wooden box 71x4Jxtl inches/ and fill it with concrete, made by mixing 2 parts sand and 1 part cement. Put a - ..top on the box nad add a long *•. handle—an old „ mop handle *will do. Cover the bottom and sides of the box with sheepskin or wool cloths. Complete details are giv' en in Extension Seryice Circular 424- '■> Vi --- ■ WORK SKIRT . ... The latest style in skirta may be long or short, tight or full,, pleated, gathered or dressed up with trimmings, flaps 0£ other fancy exaras. But for work around the house or yard, the wise housewife will choose a skirt designed for safety, comfort and convenience. A skirt which is moderately wide bit not full is safest for for work around the house, clothing specialists of the U. S. Department of Agriculture say. Skirts are somewhat shorter this year—and that is all ‘o the good mi* snniilaniAnas a m /I safety. * A gored skirt, the specialists suggest, may be cut wide enough around the bottom to allow for walking, or running when necessary, also for climbing and stooping. Yet it is fitted about the hips so that it stays in place , and does no get in the way. In contrast, a full skirt like a dirndl has a way of billowing out when you bend over so that it may be stepped on in'going down a ladder to wash windows, or in stooping to low shelves. A tight skirt which is close around the bottom restricts steps, may catch and pull uncomfortably • and unsafely, often just whe.i the wearer is in a hurry. Sashes, bows, flaps and fancy loose pockets are accident hazards because they may catch on door knobs, for example, or be slammed in doors. FARM AND CITY LIVING a The level of living of Ameri- | can farm families has riseii’ con- \ siderably in recent years but still \ is below that of city families as a whole, says T. Wilson Longtnorc of the Bureau of Agriculture . Economics,’ U.9. Department of Agriculture. Farm families have less cash to spend than city families, less adequate medical care, .fewer household comforts and conveniences, and less educational opportunities for their children. If homes are rated by 3uch facilities as running water, electric lights, bathrooms, modern installed cooking arrangements,' Mr. Longmore etstimates that farm homes rate only 30 per cent of the national average compared to 115 percent of city and suburban homes. Significant is the lack of such essential home conveniences as running water. At least two-thirds of American farm homes were still withopt running water at the most recent count. Physicians, dentists and hospitals tend to concentrate in cities. The farther a family lives from the city, the less it shares of these health facilities. For each 100,000 people in most rural counties in 1946, there were only 29' physicians, 8 dentists and 20 hos•pital beds. In contrast, most urban counties had 12*0 physicians, 64 dentists and 396 hospital bdUs for each 100,000 people. As for education, in most rural counties only 8 per cent of the people of 25 years or older hare completed high school compared to 27 per cent in' most urban 'counties. A much larger share of the moqtey ‘spenft on education goes to the city or suburban pupil •©•eir-jmprt tomtit ’ areas is estimated at 82 per cent of the national average compared to 116 per cent for pupils living - ,in or close to cities.
