RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY (MORNING At Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia \ DIAL WASHINGTON 2851 V 1 . 1.----- r • -■ -- ' .' LUCA CATHERINE BOWIE_Publisher BRUCR S. BOWIE —..— Business Manager Entered as second-class mail matter at the post office at Washington, Virginia SUBSCRIPTION: (in advance)_$2.00 a year HAPPY NEW YEAR! It’s Ererybody’s Problem __ The Parent-Teachers Association at Flint Hill is scheduling their meeting Tuesday night, January 6, to hear reports and make some decisions on improving their school. The Flint Hill meeting is of interest to everyone in the county, not only because it involves education of future citizens, but because thhe Flint Hill folks are advocating the construction of a consolidated elementary school for their end of the county. No definite decisions can be made at this time, and that fact is known. All building, and planned building, has to meet requirements and approval of State authorities, and no definite State approvals of anything in the education line will be forthcoming until after some certain Supreme Court decisions are announced in the Spring. The decisions of the Supreme Court may evoke radical changes — or they may not — no one knows. Meanwhile, the people of Flint Hill and vicinity- have a strong opinion: their school is inadequate, and they want something done about it. They fear that it will be difficult in future years to get teachers, and they don’t blame teachers for going where school buildings are attractive and wellarranged to suit teaching needs. The parents realize that the day of teachers being missionaries and martyrs is becoming a bit out-ofdate. Opposition to building an ele mentary school is on hand. Some 'School Board members see a new elementary school as sure death to a future high school, which is needed worse than words can tell. The school needs in the county seem to be like the colored preacher’s plea for his back salary: “There ain’t no use talking about what I needs; I needs ever’thing, from my hat down, and from my overcoat in.” At any public discussion, many questions are apt to arise. No doubt someone will state that a building is no good without a teacher, and the needs are for more good teachers and less talk about buildings. There are truths here, but the data will not be pertinent at the Tuesday meeting. The problem the Flint Hill parents face is: can we have adequate instruction for our children. Overheard in the County: In discussing the local problem of improving schools, one citizen was heard to say: ’The compulsory education law is like the Volstead Act; a noble experiment, but a dismal failure.” Most of the discussion of schools falls into dissatisfaction with the curriculum. As one fellow said: “We are down-to-earth people, earning a living. We want our children taught to read, to write, and to do some ciphering. We expect the schools to give sound training in the fundamentals, with the thought that the children will have the tools with which to build an education later.” Sympathy goes to the teachers.

Dr. Lewis F. Ball, professor of English at the University of Rich* mond, whose book column enlivens and enriches our Sunday Book Page, issued a pungent jeremiad last Sunday concerning the possibilities that ‘'we are rearing a generation of illiterates." To anyone who strives to teach English in college (he wrote), the results are painfully apparent. Rare is the freshman who can either read or write effectively, In a desperate effort to salvage some of the weakest of them, sections in remedial English are set up and reading clinics are organized. Parents expect the college to accomplish in six months what the schools have failed to do in 12 years. . . Dr. Ball is not alone in his feeling that English instruction in many elementary and high schools is most inadequate. College teachers in this and other states have been saying so for a long time. It is encouraging, therefore, that the Virginia Association of Teachers of English and the Language Arts Teachers of Northern Virginia are both trying to do something about the situation. This is due, in no small measure, to the leadership of such dedicated and effective English teachers as Miss Mary G. Lambert, of John Marshall High School, Richmond, president of the Virginia Association of Teachers of English, and Foster B. Gresham, of Lane High School, Charlottesville, editor of the association’s official publication, the Virginia English Bulle bin* The association unanimously adopted resolutions in October urging that the State Board of Education raise the certification requirements for English teachers in Virginia to 24 semester hours, and that the board include the teaching field of English in the next State teaching scholarship program. 1 It was only as recently as last July that the certification requirement for English teachers was raised from 12 to 18 hours by the •State Board of Education, although North Carolina, Maryland, West Virginia, and the District of ; Columbia require 30, 24, 24 and 30 hours, respectively., The goal of 24 hours, set for Virginia by the association, hardly seems excessive, in View of this. It has been endorsed unanimously by the teachers: They'seem as- confused as the children. Education has become so complex with what we parents call Trills,' that no one seems to know what children are supposed to be studying or are supposed to be taught."

The teaching of English, for some strange reason, has been treated for years in many public schools of the State as a sort of redheaded stepchild. The view has prevailed in some quarters that “anybody who can read and speak — - - - --.. English can teach it”, and relatively little effort has been made to train English teachers properly. The fact that the certification requirement was as fantastically lovr as 12 hours so recently as last July, is sufficient evidence of that. Professor iR. €.

TEACHERS v r (Continued from page 2) the Longwood English faculty, writes in the October issue of the * Virginia English 'Bulletin that “it is not unusual to find teachers of other subjects in the public schools being given an English class just to ‘fill’.” He adds that English and social studies “were the only two fields excluded from the State teaching scholarship program for the next biennium.” This despite the serious shortage of well-trained English teachers. The explanation for theh failure of the authorities to make English teachers eligible for State teaching scholarships can only be that the teaching of English is considered less important than the teaching of other subjects. It would be interesting to learn what subject is deemed more essential to school pupils than a knowledge of their own language—home economics, shop work, vocational agriculture? | Important as these latter subjects are, the exclusion of English from the scholarship program, and the generally cavalier manner in which English teachers are being kicked around by school authorities wquld seem to Indicate a* lamentable lack of appreciation of the subject's importance. As Dr. Ball said in his column last Sunday, “the blight of the immediately practical has fallen upon all the arts.” He went on to declare: Perhaps we shall breed a race of atomic scientists, and, perhaps, in a few more years, the run-of* the-mine high school graduate will be able to take apart and reassemble it blindfolded, but that these same bright geniuses will be capable of reading a page of English prose or poetry with either comprehension or pleasure is, to say the least, highly doubtful. Dr. Ball's alarming observations are commended to our “educationists” for their prayful consideration. Time Hoe Come / tk* Walras isUi . . . Well, here’s 1953—another year so soon! We won’t write more than a half-a-dozen-or-so letters and checks with last year's date before we remember that the calendar has noted a step up in the numerals. Let's see: I'm a year older; the joints creak a year worse; there are a few more gray hairs on the dome; and the motor rebels at being run at top speed. But things could be a lot worse. My digestion is still good and I don't dread sitting down at the table nor do I regret what I've eaten. I sleep like a baby-—when I manage to stop work long enough to/ get to sleep. Yes, it's a pretty good world. 13*52 wasn’t so bad, and I’ve every reason to hope*rl&53 will be just as good, or maybe better. Thank goodness I cant forsee the coming year. It might be nice to anticipate the good things that will come, but then, there would be the bad—and come a few of them must—and I'd rather just face them as they arrive and not have to brood over them aforehand. As a friend so aptly misquoted: Hope springs eternal in the human beast—and so it should. The long-faced pessimist needs a good dosing of religion. He needs faith; be needs to remind himself that thhe Good Lord has taken care of him all during this many years and He’ll continue to do so. o o o Oh, dear-me! I was all prepared to make myself a nice new set of resolutions for the New Year. (It seems like such a harmless form of amusement, and, after all, it only happens once a year.) With a freshly starched halo placed carefully a-top my silvering coiffure (phew! where did that come from?), 1 was preparing to end all my shortcomings with strong resolve to improve. Then— I read a book. (My brother has always told me that was what was wrong with me: I read a book.) The book said that "according to a number of psychiatrists, New Year’s resolutions are just a bit silly." Isn’t that like some mean, smart-aleck to spoil our fun? "They believe," said the book, "that a person who makes resolutions is something of an exhibitionist in addition to being quite childish." Well, what’s so terrible about that?

The subject of the message for this Sunday at 7:30 p.m. is “Christ at the Door.” This same topic will also be used in the First Baptist church of Flint Hill at the 11 o’clock service Sunday morning.

Maybe he’d rather be right than President I wouldn’t have any way of knowing how to choose. I’ve never been President—and I haven’t always been right. (There’s a good idea for a New Year’s resolution: Resolved, henceforth I shall always be right) e o o New Year’s customs and celebrations would fill a book. January, to begin with, got its name from Janus, the two-faced Roman god, credited with the ability to look forward and backward at the same time. . In many parts of New England it is considered unlucky for anyone to go out of the house on New Year’s Day until someone has entered. That seems a , little confusing; who’s going to start the visits? \ To bring good luck and prosperity through the new year, Texans and residents of other southwestern states make a point of including black-eyed peas on the New Year’s menu. \ People in many* parts of the world believe that a full salt shaker on New Year’s is the symbol of a year of plenty and good fortune. The superstition, it is believed, can be traced to the days when salt was a precious it$m in the household. s Philadelphia’s annual Mummer’s parade is a custom coming down from the early English and Swede settlers in the vicinity. The English cherished the traditional Mum* mer play of St. George and the Dragon, while the Swedes were fond of masquerading informally on New Year’s Eve. The two customs merged even before the Revolution. After the Revolution, .George Washington replaced St. George as the central figure of the festivities. It wasn’t until 1901 that the municipal government officially recognized the parade. Today the all-male parade is a community project, with thousand* watching as the floats and figures go by for hours. it with a seme ofc fear and lack of courage. But to the child of God it is a brighter picture because they have God’s own promise, to lead them in this Unknown Path ahead. In Paul’s Epistle to die Romans we find him saying, “As many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are -the children of God.” Again in Isa. 42:16 we find God saying. “I will lead them in paths that they have not known.” The benefits of these promises of course are limited to the child trusting in the Father’s care. Just as the universe is governed by Divine law and cannot be altered to suit man’s desire neither can the laws which govern Christianity be changed to suit our likes and dislikes. We must follow God’s ways and in the end we discover His ways are the best afterall. His wisdom is higher than ours and He knows the future since He holds the future in His hands. There are three things which are liable to happen to us as we cross the threshold of this New Year: First of, all those starting out trusting m their own strength are subject to the peril of loss of courage. Many will take the attitude of "What's the use?" This attitude can be avoided by accepting the guide which God has given us to lead us over this Unknown Path ahead. There is another peril which we will face is the loss of real and enthusiasm. Those facing disappointments and vairous other antagonists are especially prone to take the above attitude. there is the possibility of be coming disgruntled and soured in life in general. This attitude will certainly bring about the loss of friendship, fellowship and many other unpleasant experiences. .But there is a way of avoiding all these catagories of life. The guide which God has promised us will prevent us from shattering our lives upon the rocky shores and rough places of this New Year. God has sent His Son to be our Saviour and our guide. He, Himself said, “Lo I am with you always, even unto the end." Matt. 28:20. With this assurance in our hearts we can enter upon this Unknown Path knowing that our God knows the way and will guide us safely through. —G. M.

It has a re-styled front end incorporating a sturdier grille, two-piece bumper, and a futuristic headlight arrangement. A hew alligator-type hood, long-flowing body lines, new moldings and ventiporta, and horisontal rear fenders with bullet-shaped tail lights, give the car an ultra-modern, sleek appearance. The interior features fresh new colons and tasteful trim. Its wheelbaa? is 131 Vi inches and offered as optional equipment are wire wheel covcra and power steering. FLINT, MICH. — Buiek today presented its 1953 Golden Anniversary line of cars, featuring a high compression, valve-in-head V-8 engine of new design in both the Roadmaster and Super Series, a new Twin Turbine Dynaflow that greatly improves performance and economy, and fresh new styling inside and out. The new engine, which develops 188 horsepower in the Roadmaster and 1T0 in the Super, is of the 90-degree **V" type with a compression ratio of 8.5-to-l, the highest in the industry. Buick’s power steering, which proved so popular last year, has been made standard equipment on the 1953 Roadmaster and ia-offered as an option on the Super and Special. Power brakes, which take 75 per cent of the effort out of braking, are offered as optional equipment on the Roadmaster. New styling features include a »«" en<!* new headlights modelled after those on the BmSc’s famed X P-800, new rear Tenders and interior trim combinations unequalled for beauty and luxury. Buick's generous-sized bodies continue to be featured in 1953. They offer the maximum roomi~ and comfort available in the “We have made more important «« Jk* ££kL *^*!n®eri,n3 changes in the 1958 Buick than in any model we have produced in the last 25 years," said Ivan L. Wiles, general manager of Buick and vice president of General Motors. “Our new engine and new Twin Turbine Dynaflow, coupled with our many styling improvements, make the 1953 Buick the newest car on the market today, and the most out* standing value we have ever of* fered the public." Buick’s 1953 Special Series is powered by the time-proven F-263 Fireball straight eight engine with stepped up horsepower and com* {iression ratio. The improvements n the straight eight engine, plus the new Twin Turbine Dynaflow, make the Special the outstanding performer in its class. The 1953 Buick line comes in 12 different body styles, including the Skylark sports car which will v be produced in limited quantities. The wheelbase, of all Roadmaster models has been reduced 4% inches for easier handling and parking. The wheelbase on the four-door Roadmaster sedan has been reduced from 130.2 inches to 125.5 inches, and on the two-door Roadmaster it has been reduced from 126.2 inches to 121.5 inches. From a styling standpoint the new 1963 Buieka are new inside and out. A new and wider grille provides better cooling for the engine and gives the car lower look. The top line of theliood has been extended forward to give a bolder appearance to the front profile. The headlights are housed in a new bezel patterned after the XP-300, and parking and directional signal lights have been incorporated into the headlight bezel. The hub of the newly-designed steering wheel is decorated with a red, white and blue Golden Anniversary medallion with a gold replica of a 1903 Bufck embossed upon it. Sweepspear and rocker panel moldings are continued on all models. The rear windows are of the one-piece wrap-around type with no posts to obstruct the driver’s vision. Buick’s V-8 engine has a piston displacement of 332 cubic inches in both the Roadmaster and Super Series. The new Twin Turbine Dynaflow takes hold with a more solid feel than its predecessor be- * cause torque multiplication has been increased, yet it retains the same smoothness of operation that has distinguished Dynaflow from other automatic transmissions. Acceleration is faster and quieter. Power brakes, which are optional on the Roadmaster, give the driver toe-tip braking for any stop. A special safety feature permits direct braking action in case the vacuum which provides the power is lost. AND BEST WISHES TO ONE AND ALL ^ it’s a wonderful feeling to look back on a full year of service and know that we have tried our best to satisfy you. We intend to keep right on doing so, and in grateful appre- * ciation we want to send you the warmest greetings of the holiday season. DEPT.
