B. Winfrey, principal of Rappahannock County * High School.) Peeping At Onr Schools The outstanding consensus of opinion at the "Look at Our Schools” meeting in Front Royal was that many big problems were hastily touched upon and as hastily left dangling in order to get along to all of the other points mentioned. This meeting may' serve a valuable purpose if other meetings follow up this general summai icing of outstanding problems, and if the meetings are held in tits same general spirit of honest inquiry and earnest effort toward solution. It is important to be aware of the fast that many' of the problems posed have no quick solutions but must be worked out Over a period 'of .yelrl through patient, intelligent, dedicated effort of everyone involved. . ' As one chairman expressed it, the teachers told what was wrong with the parents, the parents told what was wrong with the teachers, and the children told what was wrong with both. Despite some selfishness, prejudice, bombast, and obvious lack of perception, most of the opinions were given in a way to stimulate the best thinking of the various groups. There was indeed enough food for thought to supply the most insatiable appetite. . . and to give it indigestion! That the problems are being recognised by so many, ' who are willing to devote a part of their time towards helping to work towards a solution, is the healthiest sign to emerge in the public school morass for many. years. The membership of the various soups was about 25. - This undoubtedly facilitated some Of the very able summarising, which might serve well as guideposts for future meetings. Indeed , this meeting will have significance ? only if It ie followed up in some. way: either in similar fashion or by having the local PTA’x further, clarify the findings. The subject of overcrowded facilities was loudly indicted as being conducive to many of the . most pressing problems. It was heartening to hear that many felt the teachers were doing the best! they could under these very trying conditions. Divided opinions as to what could constitute the curriculum offered by our schools, apparently clear only in the untrammelled minds of the pupils, is one problem which will not play at "hide and seek" much longer; for n showdown is imminent, it would - seem, as to what is most important in the curriculum. Until there is a meeting of the-minds of the educators and the parents > as ' to what the children should learn, other solutions would seem to pale into insignificance. * Many lay people expressed> themselves as Having been en- ■' lightened as - to what the schools i are; trying to do. Some seemed to realise that the graduate of today cannot be compared to the graduate of yesterday; for where- • as today’s public school educates" all of the children of all of the people, yesterday’s school educat- ’ ed only the better academic minds further than' grammar ‘ school. Naturally the caliber of the finished product was higher ' then, as it would be now if the , same candidates for graduation presented themselves. According to the stSte school law, we do not "screen” applicants for a high school diploma in the public school* which belong to "the people.” The questions of promotions, report cards, homework, provision for the brighter child, public relations, religious instruct tion, and free text books were ' .raised. .While no-defmite"tonciu-r‘J •mas®, wage tegriiaiffiTlWNfrapTMlm paved for further efforts to be made along this line. v Louis Spillman, - editor of the Waynesboro News-Virginian, very •bly presented the topic for the day. His humor and good borsesense added greatly to the appeal of his remarks which swept over his hearers as a very refreshing breexe. He commented that his interest in the “fundamentals” was obvious; for if people could not read, he would have to go out of business. ' i i He stated five goals that should, bo held very prominent in edu-' cation—along with the Three R’s: 1. Providing for sound physical and emotional health of the indithe art of living Vldual; 4 Fostering together; <&"" *2.

This card .is distributed at the request of tho Department of Agriculture in order to secure information for estimating the number of livestock on farms, the number of fall pigs, an - indication for the spring pig crop, and tho number of chickens ^and layers on farms. Accurate information concerning livestock and > poultry is essential for sounds marketing plans and for production planning. Tho information obtained from this survey is used by many farmers, by offices of ; livestock associations, by specialists st VPI and of the U. 8. Department of Agriculture, and by County Agents in order to solve many of our livestock problems. This, will bo tho twenty-sixth year that this survey has been conducted and most fanners are probably already familiar with these cards. The accuracy of the survey depends upon a large number of reports being returned. Therefore, I urge each farmer in this county., who receives one of these cards to take a few minutes time to fill it out, and then put it back in his mail box for his Rural Mail Carrier.

There Were but two' English days of thanksgiving in . the past century. One was February 27, 1872, for the recovery of the Prince of Wales from illness, . and the other, June 21, 1887, for '(the Queen’s Jubilee. - ■ Our American Thanksgivihg— just as we were taught in grhmmar school—began at Plymouth in 1621, the-autumn after the arrival of the Pilgrims, when' a notable thanksgiving was held. Two years' afterward there iwaa another. The records say that “after the fruits and harvests were gathered,” Governor Bradford sent out a company for game |$g| Dish dainty materials for a feast. The New England Thanksgiving dates from 1633, when the Massachusetts Bay Colony set apart a day for thanksgiving. The first national Thanksgiving proclamations were made by Congress during the Revolutionary War. The first great American Thanksgiving Day was in 1784, for the declaration of peace. There was one more national thanksgiving in 1789, and no other until 1863, •when President Lincoln issued a national proclamation for a day of thanksgiving. Since that time the (President has issued an annual proclamation. (The following article is taken from the Washington Post’s “District line,” pn the date of the present Thanksgiving Day.) There seems to be a great deal of confusion as to the date of Thanksgiving this year. And a good part of it stems from the fact that many widely circulated calendars list the date as November 30. A brief review of the Thanksgiving mixup might be in order. For many years the President annually issued a proclamation setting the fourth or final Thursday in November as Thanksgiving Day, and the Governors of the various States called on the people to ob ,h, ' ' *** JP Franklin D. Roosevelt broke the tradition in 1939 and designated the third Thursday for the holiday in an effort to help businessmen by starting the Christman shopping season a. week earlier, i*' • Some Governors went along with the change, others resisted and there was great confusion. Congress finally ruled that, after 1941, the fourth Thursday would be Thanksgiving Day. And that’s the way the matter? stands at present; ? This year, however, there are five Thursdays in November. And because so many folks have become accustomed to thinking of ^fourth” as synonomous with “final,” the misconception has even found its way into our calendars, and some of them show the final Thursday (30th) as the holiday. ” It’s not The fourth Thursday, November 23 rd this year, is Thanksgiving Day. ; ‘ ■ * V * “ ’* . A beautifully graceful deer .stopped in the road near Panorama the other evening. We had. ample time to stop, for the car was going np the mountain. He gave us a scornful look,' blinked slightly into the car lights, turned and trotted sedately up the highway before us for a distance of about 25 or 30 feet,’ and' then ICaped up the bank and disappear; ed into the trees. My 1 but he was a gdVgeous animal 1 I think I understand the lady, whok said she couldn’t, eat goose because she had pet geese. A friend of mine once had a pet fawn, and .after seeing the graoe. ful, soft-eyed ereature pl§y arwmd tiie yard with, the dogs and come UP to be fed grapes and .apricots, I know I. couldn’t shoot one! . A gentleman^ in the county has • stated, that you ;, feel differently, • When those deer, come out of, the park, so tame they defy yipu to bother, them and almost thumb their, noses when, you try to^ run them .out of your garden, and'that you get so disgusted with their at-_ rogance, you would gladly .pick, up a stick and crown theml a ■*; a. It must be ’very easy to, get a deer during hunting season in the park, I ventured an opinion. “Oh, no,” replied the hunter. “You know how squirrels run all over ■ the place. and practically spit in your eye when it’s out of season; well, just let. hunting season'roll around and those crafty little fellows run faster than lightning and you can walk your legs off all day long before you see even one _ -streak by.” .... .i.; * * • 1-5' • Out in Minneapolis the National Baldheaded Club, Inc., has passed a resolution at its convention calling on barbers to lower the price for trimming the hair of men who don’t have much. “Why should we pay as much as other guys?” the president of the club asked as he rubbed his bald spot. “We’ve called for price reductions. The present situation is grossly unfair,” he said. But Minneapolis barbers disagreed. “Those bald-headed boys are all wrong,” said one barber. “It’s more work cutting their hair. You got to look for it first.” This is the first big issue the bald-headed men’s club has tackled, the president announced. The club was formed a year ago to discourage men from being ashamed of bald scalps. “Everybody knows bald-headed men are generally more intelligent,” he stated, and added that the club idea has spread to Berlin, Tokyo and Hong Kong, making the organisation world-wide.

Dean. He adda “that forest fires rank as game’s deadliest enemy—yet careless hunters were responsible for starting more than twenty five per cent of the 1601 forest fires burning in Virginia last year.” Hunting season occurs at a time when forests are the most inflammable, when fire can become very large and extremely destructive to game, game cover, and game food. Forester Dean appeals to hunters entering dry forests and fields to use extreme caution with fire. He recommends the following simple rules: 1. Be sure your match is out-rbreak it. 2. Crush out your cigarette and bury pipe ashes in bare soil. 8. Be careful with campfires— clear a wide space, free from inflammable material before building any fire. 4.

With the two most dangerous months of the year for traffic upon ns, “Don’t Go Out With The Old - Year” was the word of warning from Colonel C. W. Woodson, Jr., Superintendent of State Police and executive Chairman of the Governor’s Highway 'Safety Committee. Through the years, Colonel Woodson stated, December and November continually see the ‘ highest numbers of traffic deaths of any other months and are particularly bad for pedestrians. Ha then pointed out that this is occasioned by heavy holiday traffic, resulting from football games, Thanksgiving, and Christmas shopping, by more hours of darkness, increased drinking and bad weather, At the same time, Colonel Woodson reminded motorists that, because these months see * high death tolls, there is all the mom opportunity for cutting them down.. , According- to State Police sta-* tistics, 'Virginia's 1950 toll for September dropped 25 below that for September 1940 but October saw one more death than in 1949. As of November 1, Virginia’s 1900 deaths were 11.5 per cent above those for the first 10 months of 1049. . In 1949, eight persons died Thanksgiving Day, nine more on Christmas Eve and each week end saw heavy casualties to bring the totals for November and December to 76 and 85 respectively. “A few very simple precautions,” Colonel Woodson said, "can prevent this from happening to anyone. Just drive a little slower, obey the law, be a little more alert and don't drive when drinking.'2 He asked also that everyone consider the effect on the holiday season of themselves and their families of a bad smashup or of the unpleasant consequences of an arrest for a serious traffic violation. In closing, Colonel Woodson asked the pubUe to apply the same wholehearted co-operation they gave to bring the drastic reduction in September to the last days of 1950. "When tempted to speed or break the law in other ways,” be said, "just stop and think how many dismal Christmases were caused by Virginia’s 161 death* last November and December.

Left to right! Thomas David Jones III, the great-grandson of Jacob Rile, the father of the Christmas Seal in Americas Chandler Massey, and Mary Don* nan Tedman. 4,' v Governor John Stewart Battle is still recovering from the astonishment he experienced when his secretary opened the door of his office and showed in the three little “angels” who apologized for not having an appointment. The callers, complete with long gowns and wings and strongly resembling the three angel'children on the 1950 Christmas Seal were ( Mary Ponnen Todjpan, Chandler Massey, and John David Jones 111. "Tommy” Jones is the ' greatgrand-son of Jacob Riis, father of tbh Christmas Seel in America/ '* * Along with the scroll and musical, instruments held by the angels in the 1950 Seal, the' Governor’s little callers each carried sheets of Seals. And they started their business like this: — "We wish to offer you the first sheets of Seals of the 1950 Christ-*, mas Seal Sale,” said T o mm y1 Jones, spokesman, moving closer to the Governor. “That is, w'e’re selling them, not giving them away,” he added hastily. The Governor solemnly thanked the children and stooped low to take the sheets bf Seals and shake each child’s hand. He then went immediately to his desk, wrote his check for the Seals and handed it to the great-grandson of Jacob Riis, the father of the Christmas Seal in America. Then he told his youthful visitors: | “This year’s -Seal has a special meaning for yo» youngsters. The three child angels on the Seal remind us that the fight against tuberculosis is a fight to, make sthi*4 state a safer and healthier one "for-"' you children to live and play and grow in.” Governor Battle then added the following: “Every parent in, this state considers the health of? his children one of his prime concerns. It makes sense for the parents of Virginia to support an organization dedicated to fighting tuberculosis in the state and working the yew round for better community health.” r “Since proceeds from the 1950 Christmas Seal Sale will finance the work of these tuberculosis associations for the coming yew, every pwent who buys and uses as many Christmas Seals as he can is actually contributing to a healthier community for his child,” the Governor concluded. «— The- 1050 Christmas Seal sale , officially opened this iweek when residents throughout the state will rdclive sheets of the Seals in their mail. Closing date of the' Seal Sale is December 25. 1 The 1950 Seal was designed by Andre D u g o, internationally known artist who has also become in recent years a writer and illustrator of children’s books. A native of Hungary, artist Rugo came •to America in 1999 and is now~a resident of New York. This la the second Seal stamp he has designed. . Homemakers Items A kit of simple tools is a handy aid for the homemaker who frequently has to do small repair jobs around the house. For most households, Extension Service specialists at V.P.L suggest a hammer,’large and small screw driver, medium-sized pliers, and a six-inch crescent wrench—f convenient because it had adjustable jaws. . Assemble the tools in a holder jahich can be kept at a central ;p!ace in the house. A homemade case, patterned after those made for table silver, with separate open-top pockets for each tool, may be made of some sturdy material like duck or denim. Put loops at the top so you can hang it opea on the wall for use, and stitch tapes to the back so you can tie it when it’s rolled up. Using tools efficiently is as im- , portent as having them-handy.

Gift Leaf A pound loaf of fruit cake is worth considering as a homemade food gift for Christmas. The re$tangular shape is easier to paik for safe travel than a round cake and also easier to slice thin and evenly, as most people like this holiday delicacy. Here is a recipe for dark fruit cake from the Bureau of Human Nutrition and Home Economics, U. S. Department of Agriculture It makes five loaves of about one pound each, and features moderate cost, generally available ingredients, rather than the more expensive items sometimes called . for in fru.it cake recipes.

ip a inuvv v •- -,; «j.;. v «'«cft-<M^ . ■ far^'j* , District Forester D. G. Wilfong, of Charlottesville, again has made the annual appeal to hunters and sportsmen in the county to use care and caution In preventing forest fires this fall. According to the records kept by the Virginia Forest Service, the number of forest fires each fall in the county can be attributed largely to careless^ hunters. Ap- ' proximately 30% of the forest fires each fall are caused by hunters and each year the Virginia Forest Service makes an extensive drive to sportsmen’s clubs and other conservation agencies to reduce the number of forest fires caused by hunters. All hunters know tiiat an adequate game supply depends upon plentiful fpod and cover and we definitely cannot have both food and cover for gamp ML AND MIS.

Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Pullen expect as their guests for Thanksgiving day, Mr. and Mrs. Wade Pullen and daughter, and Mr. and Mrs. James Ellmore. animals if we are continuously careless in starting forest fires. A wild forest fire is a sure destruction of both food and game cover.

If So, you will soon be an employer under social security. The amended Social Security Act brings household workers under the old-age and survivors insurance system. Beginning in January, they will have the retirement and death benefit protection that millions of Americans in other occupations already have. Perhaps your husband is now in a job that comes und[er social security. You may have heard him say that so much was withheld from his pay check or envelope for his social security tax, or maybe he has his own business and is sending taxes and reports to toe internal revenuue collector on his employees. As a housewife, however, you have not come in direct contact with social security. Well, beginning in January, many housewives—-maybe you, and many workers in private/homes— maybe your cook, will be directly concerned with social security. Her work for you may bring her under the old-age and survivors insurance system. If so, you, as her employer, will'begin keeping a record of her work days and wages, and you will deduct her share of the social security tax from her pay. To this you will add your share of the taxi Does all this sound complicated? well, it really isn’t. The Treasury Department and the Social Se-^ curity Administration, working jointly, have just issued a brief attractive booklet telling the few simple steps for you and your household worker tb takir. It ihcludee a postal card for getting instructions about the easy-to-fillout report form. The title of this leaflet is “Do You Have a Maid?” Perhaps you have one. It not, drop a postcard to Social Security Administration, 81b King Street, Alexandria, Virginia, and you' will get one right away. Just ask for a copy of “Do You Have a-Maid?” . >-/ . .r- . -2, .jj ~ 4 Power Company Ready To Meet Emergencies v The electric service companies in this area—as throughout the country—are prepared to meet all demands of the present emergency, R. Paul Smith, President of the Northern Virginia Power Company stated today. President Smith said that the Potomac Edison System, of which Northern Virginia Power is • part, has increased its capacity €0 per cent since the end of World War II. By. the .close of 1952, he said that capacity will hare been boosted 120 per cent. The dtility company president •aid, “This remarkable building of PE System facilities—made in the face of higher costs and material scarcity—included the addition of a 38,000 kilowatt nnit at Williamsport, Md., and a 38,000 lew unit at Riverton, Va. In addition, he further stated that the power station to be constructed at Albright, W. Va., will have a capacity ol approximately 100,000 kilowatts, of whieh 75,000 low will be used by Potomac Edison System customers. This station is scheduled to go 6n the line in 1962. “Along with the addition of the new generating units,” President Smith said, “the Potomac Edison System has continued its program of line building throughout the portions of the four states we serve. This station-line combination assures this section of Virginia sufficient electric power for any emergency use.” This expansion program, Mr. Smith said, is typical of similar electric service boosting projects from coast to coast. He stated that electric companies since the end of World War II have undertaken the greatest expansion program of any industry in the history of the United States. Top-Dreaaing Pastures Should Be Done Now It’s time to top-dress permanent pastures in Virginia. P. H. DeHart, Extension agronomist at VPI says orchard grass— ladino clover pastures need more fertilizer than other types since they proddee more gracing. During the dormant s&aaon, November through February, orchard grass—ladino pastures should get an spngftl top-drpssing.jof 600 to 1,00 pounds per acre of 0-10-12 or 0-14-14 fertiliser. . . '1,000-pound maximum on pastures which have low fertility or which have been grazed very heav’ ily the past yesr. For blue-grass-white Dutch clover pastures, 0-14-7 or 3-12-0 fertiliser, should be applied as topdressing »t the rate of 1,000 to 1,2^0 pounds per acre every three 'or four years. If annual application Is preferred, apply at this sate of 250 to 800 pounds per acre. • Am for the choice between fer' tilizer mixtures, DeHart suggests 0-14-7 where there are enough legumes to supply nitrogen. Where the grass growth is poor, a complete fertiliser meh as 8-124-is recommended. - a’*-,, *&-. ,.' • v--- - AUXILIARY MEETS 7;' '.7:.

Beef Cattle Die; * # Too Many Acorns Reports of beef cattle dying from eating too many acorns have; been received in the past two weeks from the vicinity of Charlottesville, according to Acie Edwards of the Virginia Forest Service. Dr. Robert F. Estes, veterinarian of Orange, has investigated several deaths of cattle in the past few weeks which were caused by the cattle gorging themselves on acorns. Dr. Estes says that' the cattle will leave the pasture ’ and eat the acorns in preference to grass. The cattle lose weight rather rapidly when allowed tot graze in woodland and feed on acorns, and will often literally eat themselves to death. Dr. Estes-expressed the opinion that death is due either to overloading causing intestinal injuries, or to the harmful effects of the tannic acid impregnated in the acorns on the digestive system. "Allowing cattle to graze the *farm woodldt is poor practice," the Forester said, "because neither the woodland, the cattle, nor the land owner benefits from it."

' Letter *JTo ijwttwk ■ The Town Connell at Ha laat meeting decided not to write the A.B.C. inspector a letter in apportion to issuance of (beer licenses in the corporate limits. There was no .application for a beer lieense before the council and therefore it was felt there was no reason to prematurely decide ah issue that did not exist. One member indicated her ^.desire to have the letter written ‘while the other four members present did not consider it necessary. , In the last issue of the Rappa-' hannock News this matter was incorrectly stated when it reported, “the Council voted five to one that anyone applying for such a license would meet no opposition from ^he town.” In fact, there was no motion on the floor to bo officially voted on; only an informal presentation by me of a suggestion. made by the A.B.C. inspector, The question was whether or no( to adopt the suggestion.

Warning Given Against Eastern-Grown Bean Seed Snap bean growers can save money buying eastern grown, seed, but the disease risk outweighs the saving. That is the opinion of S. B. Fenne, plant pathologist at VPI, who warns that seed grown east of the Mississippi is likely to carry anV thracnose disease. „—Anthracnose, also caned specking, is a rapidly spread disease which causes pinkish, sunken spots on bean pods. An infected crop frequently is a total loss. Virginia snap baan planting*— / either commercial or home garden —should be made with seed produced in the high, arid* western states, Fenne says.

" ’ ■ ■ 1^ would not attempt to tell you Wise garden club ladies how to plant a bulb or what manner of culture to use to' make it grow best; I only know that what the garden needs most is, God's sunehine and Bis rain. v When 1 was in Bicmuond, ,lj Went down, to my favorite haunt, the State library and fhexje t:>, - found many books on gardens of iall time. So the idea came to me io give you a very, condensed general idea of gardens from the beginning of time. ‘ M Ever since Adam and Eve were Ixpelled from the Garden of Sdeft. their descendants have been try-.-, tng to recreate Gardens of Edem. (or themselves. * The first gardens of which anything is known are the gardens of Egypt and Babylon.. .. j The plan of these gardens must be symbolic. In the symbolism of numbers four is the munflber of Creation—the rfrer* that went out ' ef Eden - was divided into- four beads, there are four corners of the earth, four! winds <of Heaven, . (our seasons of the year. ,These early gardens which are said to' Save been exceeding magnificent, Were divided into four parts by' •' fivers, whose source wag in the (enter of the garden. This plan is ** ‘Shown fe Persian garden cafpetft"* ffany iwaterfowl floated on the frface of these waters, making ! most charming spectacle.-1. Shade-; trees were also a dominating feature of these gardens. I quote “We look down on the. flowers of our gardens, but they, look up .to be; • bold the beauty of 'the trees.** Water hM ever been a symbol" of^ beauty,"rest and perpetual freshness, a .picture, of., this b a .solitary tree with' a 'fountain beneath.--; • ; ‘4 M C *£r* ■*$ tion f ancient* too bad a venera_or high places. There were the marvelous Hanging Gardens of Babylon, built by Nebuchadneszar II, king of 'Babylon. Ho built these for his wife, who was home-sick for her mountain home I suspect she was his favorite wife.*, in a wonderful English book I found this description of these gardens—on a series of arches, .Some of them 75 feet high bulit vta the form of a square measuring 400 Greek feet. On these were gardens of trees aqd flowers. Water was raised by means of .screw.from the Euphrates to the. 'top Of this artificial mountain. ' These ‘gardens existed 600 B.C.' ’f A' garden is a beautiful setting for romSnce^ abd many stories of.such haye come <^wn through the ages. - ' In the middle ages we have the story of*Saint Radegonde, queen ofGlothair, who fled from the gay , court of Pqitiers 'Jfid founded a; nunnery and laid out a garden on ~ the sunny slopes under the walls of the city. Here she and the nuns toiled with their own hands. Fortunatus the Bishop-poet, sentviolets and other flowers to the queen and with th$ flowers he wrote: "H*. whp offers violets most in love>e ah eld to offer OX, all , the fragrant herbs % sepd none can compare in nobleness with the ;$urple violet. They shine in royal purple; perfume and beauty unite in their petals. May you show forth in your life what they represent.” 1 The earliest monastery garden of which we know, was that of Gan about the ninth century; The plan of this garden indicates the ‘Roman influence, the largest, space 'was for fruit trees-and-.a kitchen . garde if.

New Currency Issued This Week 1 Don’t get jittery and rush to the Secret Service crying “count-* erfeit” if you happen to get some new, crisp—and slightly different $6, $10, and $20 bills from your bank or otherwise during the next few days. They won’t be bogus bills, necessarily, bat only brand-new banknotes whieh are being put into circulation this week by the. Federal Reserve Bank of Rich* mond. The design of these denominations has been changed slightly from the notes now current. But the changes are. so slight, that unless you are a person who looks loftg at your bankroll you, may not even notice the differi ence. 44-^4 -..i- ... . 4|The Richmond bank will be the first outlet in the country to issue"' the new currency. The institution has received $1,800,000 in the $5 denominations; $8,600,000 id the 10-spots, end $7,200,000 in the $20 or king size. The first issue was made at the main office of the Fifth Federal Reserve District in Richmond and at the branch offices in Baltimore and Charlotte, N.C. 4 The serial numbers of the new notes have been slightly reduced from the former size and are now identical with the numbers of the issuing Federal Reserve Bank and the Treasury seal also are slightly smaller. The reason for the change is explained by a change in the printing methods of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing in Washington, which prints all euiw nsor. 4 feii . 4 A froop of tea or am y—fh§ la «U(h tiwrt feat at lwt oao tHrtlwrtir, liyriiofcofw4, •k ^ ....

CORRECTIONS i v ■ ‘ X '• Perhaps the printer! of Rappahannock'S county .paper- should just re-print last week’s., issue! From all reports there seem to hare been more errors tnan any* -thins else. Please accept the most humble apology offered here and now—and let this one stand for all future errors: We don’t like to make mistakes any better than you do. We distinctly dislike them, in fact. But we are human, and we’re bound to make mistakes. On one fact you may rest assured: we never make them intentionally, and we never mean any harm. We Just blunder along —only sometimes we seem more careless (or ignozfrnt) than at others. Correction No. 1. Mias Sollenberyer’s name was omitted from the list of ladies who helped with the redecorating of the office of the Judge at the Courthouse. She a* ould have been listed along with 'Mrs. Robert Maasie, Miss Ruby Jenkins, Miss Ruth Stevens, Mrs. Paul Thompson, and Mrs. Raynor Snead. Of course, the names of James M. Settle and W. Curtis Campbell ae members of the furniture committee were omitted, too, but they arc merely mail and in the now-widely-publicised '^She-Town” that makes^them of little importance, except, perhaps, in some small disagreeable job Ukc purchasing the new furniture and putting it in place. • (That takes ears of that. The printers feel pretty safe on that correction. Miss SoUeaberger is Very good-natured, and we’re not" afraid of; her- . -much—cad, of course, the men in Washington by now art so cowed there’s no need to fear them.) Correction No. 2. (Look out! This on* might be daageronat) The Ladies of the Town Council state that the meeting last week was imported wrong. All the members were not present, ii the paper asld, for Mrs. J. W. Critser was unable to attend. In addition to this orror, tho paper stated that “the council voted . ►' . that, anyona applying for Such a license (A.B.C.) would, moot no opposition from tho town.’’ That was all wrong. The -editor is glad te print the Mayor's letter- explaining- the- error - made by tite paper._... ______ This paper makes no such statement at saying we artnt afraid of those women. We are. Bnt we shall try in the future to report more carefully and try to understand better what is going on in the council meetings. We are not intimidated, however; we are going to keep on trying Mid maybe one of these days, the council . meeting will be reported correctly in the county paper. Error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it.—Thomas Jefferson.
