Rappahannock News, April 29, 1954

Miss Pauline Jenkins of Spep* ryville was the first to give the correct answer to last week question—June 2, 1962 was the date the Supreme Court ruled President Truman’s seizure of the steel mills unconstitutional, and the vote was 6 td 3. o o o o One of the great names in the field of sports celebrated his birthday this week—who was it, and why was he so well known? o o o o We are proud of our Senior Senator in Washington for "the way he conducts himself—like a true gentleman. When he discovered some irregularities in the functioning of v(our government agencies, he asked the Justice Department to investigate it. IJe did not go to the press with a lot of fanfare so as to call attention to himself. u u - V We here at the Rappahannock News miss the daily visits of “Mr. Willie” who has had to forego his uptown trips due to Ibad health. About mail time, Duchess will jump out of her chair as if to say she knows that its time for Mr. Compton. (It’s a well known fact around here' that she will give up her comfortable morris chair for no one ^ccept Mr. Compton, who is a great favorite with her.) , . o o o Dot Estes’ skillfully carved minatures may have won the admiration; Dorothy Davis’ watchul fox, the tricolor; and Rappahannock’s Mass Arrangement, the ‘awes,’ but our heartiest votes we give * to the men who exhibited their ingenuity in “Early Rappahannock Court.. Days.” Not for a’ many a day have our funny bones had such a heyday ... and the memories the compositions brought too . . . A perfect set back hand, a twist of ‘backer,’ a jug and in the background, the pot-bellied old fellow _ whose means of existence these were ... a rafe figure he cut in the court, we can imagine?Then tilery was the pore fellow who was viewing life from behind some not-so gilded bars "As I was going up the hill; they caught me with the still.” (now ma, don’t fret over me) “I’ll be with you in apple blossom time.” . . . And on the more serious and poetic side there’re the arrangements, one of a stirup with apple blossoms and tulips; and the Stone jar filled with broomsage and grasses that talk of • the open field. Yes, we commend these men, and the ladies who arranged and planned a show that was a credit to our county. On the way to Culpeper yesterday, we passed a cloud of dust; and after things, had settled down, we reaized that two cars had gone by. So fast they were traveling that instead of the usual whz when a car is traveling faster than your own, there was _a sharpe zoom. Instinctively. I looked back to see if the three little childre'n that were playing by the road had ducked the cars that were racing up the road. Luckily they had. Suppose they hadn’t . . i would the thrill of racing another car balance the horror of slaying a child -who suddenly darted across the road ... I wonder. Julian Brown % t Undergoes Operation s * Julian Brown, son of Mrs. Catherine Brown of Sperryville, wais recently rushed to the University of —Virginia Hospital for an emergency operation when complications appeared in his recovery from a broken nose. Julian was injured when Struck |by a ball in a game several days ago on the Sperryville School ground. His condition at Jast is favorable. Mrs. Brown, who was in Charlottes with her son during his hospitalization, was joined by her daughter, Mrs. Edward Payne of Arlington School Problems 1 Discussed Monday At Mass Meeting The Town Meeting for Better Schools met Monday night at the Rappahannock High School. The * forum panelists for the discussion were W. C. Campbell, member of the Board of Supervisors; Mrs. Dike Quaintance, principal of the Sperryville School; Q. D. Casque, Supt. of Warren and Rappahannock County Schools, Mrs. A. M. Hickman, president of R. C. H. S. P.-T. A., conduced: the meeting. An airing of our local school problem brought out an optimistic and enthusiastic group. Financial}', the difference to the county, between a bond issue and a loan from the State Literary Fund < , was discussed. Currently, the county can borrow frrom the Literary Fund at a rate of 3%. A bond issue cannot be passed at a lower rate. The county can obtain $165,000 from the Battle Fund. An estimate of building costs fixes the price of a new school at $250,000. The difference, or less,-is what thecountjr would have to borrow. A county loan of $75,000 woud amortize itself at the rate of $4,550 a year. This necessitates a lax levy of 17c or 18c. The county must buy its own equipment, the state not providing funds for fihis purpose. Under school equipment comes a septic tank, * landscaping, tables, chairs, walks, etc. . < The' minimum size class room is 22’ by 28’, or 660 sq. ft. Present building costs. are approximately $11 to $12 5 sq, ft .. ^if._ To instigate new school building programs, the Board of Supervisors submits a written resolution, (a legal obligation), to the School Board to permit them to borrow from the Literary Fund for the purposes of building a school. At the time of approval, the levy need not be made. The original plans, call Tor-a new— ■ Highr School "*at Flat Woods. The elementary schools would Be consolidated in this manner.

Having acted as leader, in several similar discussions held elsewhere in the state, Dr. Love carte to Rappahannock at popular request of some of her leading farm men and women. Actually this will be a forum type discusssion in which those present will be expected to participate iby expressing their viewpoints in various issues pertaining to agricultural policy matters and by asking questions concerning the viewpoints , expressed by,, "others.1 It is not a"discussion meeting ' wherein the leader comes prepared to give the answers, it will be directed1 primarily toward determining WHAT LOCAL FARM PEOPLE THINK a government program should do for farmers and illustrating • how decisions are made through the market place. The illustrated portion will deal with the market as it operates ordinarily when the’ consumer is free to decide what he or she will buy, when it will be bought, how much etc, as contrasted with the hand operated market when government takes responsibility for making arbitrary decisions. Of course, if you do not pay taxes, or don’t eat, this will not arouse your interest, consequently I’m expecting to see you Wednesday evening, May 5. ■ , , , W. H. Lyne, Co.

April Rains Pour Onto Rappahannock "The rains came’ to Rappahannock County this month df April with a ver.genance for their months of absence last summer. Ruby Jenkins, official rainfall observer, reported today that 5.03 inches of rain have already fallen in the town of Washington during this month. Similar high reports have been received from individuals in other sections of the county. Mr. and Mrs. Tom Atkins of Sperryville stated that 6 inches of rain and hail stood in some parts of the lawn at "Honey Suckle Glen.’ Amissville reports a less heavy rainfall. V Miss Jenkins turns in the following report for Washington, which is probably typical of the entire county. The 5.03 rainfall for April is 1.92 over the 88 month average, which is 3.11. In January 2.18 inches of rain fell, in February, 1.51; in March, 3.81. Together, with April’s 5.03, the total for tnis year is 12.53, .20 over the average. Washington Fire Co.

Page, Culpeper, Madison, Fauquier, to mention a few, were represented at the show. The visitor was introduced to the atmosphere of the show by the cleverly decorated walk way bordered by white rocks and flowering shrubs. In the educational building, flower arrangements and compositions lined the walls and filled the long tables, down the center of the room, each composition and arrangement having its. individual niche. The minatures were shown on a special “tree” with a little leaf-shaped shelf for each arrangement. Nosegays were shown in tilted corsage boxes and the arrangements for a kitchap were shown appropriately in the kitchen. Many complimentary comments were overheard concerning the clever plans for staging the show and the outstanding artistry of the arrangements. The sweepstake award in Horticulture classes was won by Mrs. George Jameson of Culpeper and the same award in arrangement was won by Mrs. Dorothy Estes. Mrs. Dorothy Davis received a tri-color award for her composition “Tally-Ho,” which one display alone would have been worth a trip to the show. , The Garden Club members sincerely appreciate the kindness of the Baptist Church officials of Washington in allowing them to use their beautiful new building. It was a most ideal set up for a flower show, and patrons enjoyed being there. Winners in the Rappahannock County Garden Club Flower Show are as follows: Group A.

RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS Published Thursday morninq At Washington, Rappahannock County Virginia DIAL WASHINGTON 2851 BRUCE S. BOWIE..Publisher Entered as second-class mail matter at the post office at Washington, Virginia SUBSCRIPTION: (in advance)---$2.00 a year Are Consolidated Schools Shortchanging The Child? With ,the question “What do you think of the school situation” being asked 'several times daily, we are, trying to publish every bit of information that comes to the editor's desk. The following article was given to us this week by an interested school patron. This article was written by Paul Woodring, Professor of Psychology, Western Washington College of Education, and published in a recent issue of Country Gentleman. —Editor's Note. Bill Martin is a young friend of mine who attended a one-room country school for five years. Last year the district was reorganized and now he is a sixth-grader in a larger consolidated school located in a good sized town ten miles from his home. Bill is not very happy about the change. — At first glance it would appear . that the new school is a great improvement over the old one. There is a fine new building with excellent heating, lighting and ventilation, and this is' a far cry from the one-room school where it was always too hot near the stove and too cold near the window; where it was hard to see the blackboard on cloudy days and a draft came through the cracks in the floor. But a school is more than a building. A school is a way of living for several hours each day and Bill is not sure that the new way is an improvement over the old. This school district probably needed to be consolidated, but in the consolidation several mistakes were made—mistakes which are being made all over the country. Ihe lirst mistake was in locating the new school in town instead of in the country and because property values were high, they bought too little space for the schoolyard. At the ^country school ' there was a play-' ground with trees to climb, a little "stream on which Bill could build mud dams, and a sand-lot baseball diamond. At the new school the playyard is covered with asphalt and is much too small for the several hundred children who use it. In place of trees to climb there is a steel jungle gym. But Bill finds playing on an, asphalt playyard pretty dull and now spends his noon hour at the drug-, store across the street drinking pop and reading the comic books. The second mistake was in locating the school on the busiest street in the county where the traffic hazard is serious and the noise of passing trucks often interferes with school activities. The third error was in thinking that a teacher who handles only one . grade can adequately supervise the work of thirty-five or forty children. "At the* little ' country School the teacher had eight grades in one _room. but she had only fourteen children in all, so that Bill got much more individual attention than he gets This year. The fourth mistake was most serious of al. When the country schools and the city schools were combined the curriculum or program—including the afterschool ? activities—became those of a city school with no allowance being made for the fact that farm children have chores to do at home and must go home on the bus which leaves right after school. None of, these mistakes were an inevitable result of consolidation. A country school, whether it has one room or fifty, ought to be located in the country. Little is gained and much is lost by placing it in a town near busy streets, poolrooms, and drugstores with their soda fountains and comic books. The program of the country school ought to be planned with the special needs* the special' problems and the special knowledges and abilities of farm children in mind. In those schools which are at the same time village schools and rural consolidated schools, the farm boy or girl is at a real disadvantage. The village school, like the oity school, finds it necessary ^,to provide something for the children to do after* school and in the evening. This is necessary because many city children have no work to do at home and they can find little to take up their afterschool hours that is either useful or instructive. Often both parents are employed outside the Tiome and the chidten have no supervision unless the school provides it. So the school offers a broad program of afterschool and evening activity and much of the social ife of the school centers around this* activity. The child in such a school who must miss these activities often feels that he does not quite belong, and I think this is why Bill is unhappy in the new school. Yet the farm boy or girl is needed at home after school and there is much for him to do that is both educational to him and useful to his parents. Even the activities of the regular school hours are planned for the city child rather tl^n for the farm^ child. The farm boy can profitably have some experience with sports, but he has much less need than does the city child of exercise in a gymnasium, for he gets his exercise in a more normal fashion. Nor does he need to be taken on field trips into the country to learn how crops grow and where milk comes from. He knew all about these things before he even started to school; yet, the city child does need such experiences and a school program planned for city children often includes them. This makes it difficult to plan a program that is appropriate for both urlban and country children. It would be possible to compromise, but what most often happens is that the curriculum is planned for city children and farm The city educator often overlooks is a very, educational experience in itself. When I first taught in a city high school, I discovered one day that my eleventh grader did not know the meaning of the word “pullet.” Because I was curious, I tried them out and found that they did not know the difference between wheat and oats or between straw and hay. They thought all com was sweet corn. Several out of a class of thirty did not know that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west and only three could tell a maple tree from an elm. Yet any farm child of half their age who did not know these things would he considered an ignoramus. A good school starts 'with what the child aready knows and takes him on from there. Many of our school programs start with what the city knows rather than what the farm child knows. The farm boy needs to learn many Things which are unnecessary for city children. By the time he completes the eighth grade he should be able to compute accurately the number of bushels in a grain bin and many other things which are easily leartied in an arithmetic class but are being omitted from the books intended for city children. This is just another reason why it is a mistake* to move the country school into town. In all too many cases the consolidated school has become ja weak imitation of the Ibig-city school with the disadvantages of the urban institution, for city schools have always worked under handicaps. Not only are they overcrowded and often so hig that the individual child gets lost in the crowd, but even more serious is the fact that he teachers are frus-' trated by far too many rules and regulations handed down by a complicated hierachy of assistant superinriculum directors and department tendents, principals, supervisors; curheads. In consolidatng our schools, we have quite unnecessarily saddled See SCHOOLS—-Pag* Eleven ' as viewed by , YOUR SENATOR A. WILLIS'ROBERTSON SOUTHEAST ASIA SHOULD FURNISH ITS OWN TROOPS In this column lpst week j'spoke in general terms of the problem of Indo-China which is to be considered by the Geneva Conference. I mentioned the substantial contribution the United States is making toward carrying on ]the war against Communist agression in Southeast Asia and indicated my belief that if we are to continue to invest our dollars an<| material wealth in that cause, we have a right to expect real cooperation from the other democratic nations. • Most of my recent correspondence on the subject of IndoChina has been from Virginians who were alarmed by the VicePresident’s suggestion that Wfe might send American troops into that area. I am , returning to the subject, therefore* to indicate my T belief that what I said about expecting others to do their share in providing financial support applies even more emphatically to the matter of manpower. / Our foreign financial aid program, carried on since the end of World War II on the most lavish scale in recorded history, has proved two fundamental facts: (1) You can’t buy friends with dollars and (2) No type of aid, financial or military, will instill into the hearts of people of a foreign nation a love of personal freedom which they do not ihherently possess. I There is no question about the availability in ‘the general area of Southeast Asia of sufficient mian. power to successfully defend IndoChina and neighboring states against Communism. The so-called perimeter area running from Korea and Japan down through the Philippines to Australia and New Zealand has a total population larger than that of £he United States and the situation has a total pbpulation larger than that of the United States and the situation is more crucial for them than for us because they would be the first to 'be overrun if the Communist advance continues. If those people do not care enough about their freedom to be willing to fight for it, we would merely bankrupt our nation financially and physically if we went in to make the fight for them. In World War II we sent our soldiers into France and Germany and although the war ended in the Summer of 1945, they are still there and the President has said they will remain for an indefinite period. We sent other thousands of troops into South Korea to carry on a fight which might h^ve been avoided if We had previously trained the Koreans to do their own fightihg and many-of those Americans still are there and will be {kept there for an indefinite period. At the present time we have military establishments in forty-nixie nations. If we should send our troops into Southeast Asia, it would be idle to speculate as to how long they would have to remain and it makes no sense to me to say that the only way to save the free* world from Communist agression is for us to send our boys into those steaming jungles where we el v REAL ESTATE ^ ' l MT« proipacti fo* All Kinds of Praportj W.

I am glad that General JVan Fleet will ibe called back into active service and sent to Asia to see what should be done. He got a raw deal in * Korea. He was denied an opportunity to try for a military victory. Notwithstanding the fact that he {was our best It fighting he was brought h o m when he preferred to stay active duty. What the sending of our troops into Indo-China might lead to is indicated by Van Fleet's previously expressed view that we should not go on to the Mainland of Asia with less th^n two and a half million men.

Pre-Autuit 1953 Fathers From the passage of the Selective Service Act of 1948 up to August 25, 1953, ;men who submitted evidence to their local board that '“they were already fathers or who presented a certificate of a licensed physician to the local board attesting the pregnancy of their wives were eligible for deferment. issued Executive Order No. 19469, which amenled {Selective Service Regulations and established Aug, 25, 1953 as the deadline for presenting evidence to the local board of a child in being or a'certificate attesting the wife’s pregnancy. The change in Regulations was announced forty-five days before its effective date. It was given wide-publicity in the press of the Nation and over the radio and television networks in an effort to make sure that all Selective Service registrants were aware of the impending change in regulations. Post-August 1953 Fathers Selective J3ervice local boards cannot accept evidence of fatherhood presented after August 25, 1953. The Executive Order established that date as a cut-off date. The wording of the Executive Order is such that no room is left for the local board to use its own discretion or to make interpretations of it. The new rule is hard and fast. If a man presented evidence of fatherhood to his local “board before midnight of August 24, 1953, he was eligible for deferment. If the evidence was submitted tothe local board after that date, he cannot be deferred on Ithe basis of fatherhood. Extenuating circumstances and excuses canot be accepted. A man presenting the evidence after the deadline date is just too late. Definition of Child Under Selective Service Regulations the term "child” includes a legitimate or illegitimate child from the date of its conception, a child legally adopted, a stepchild, a foster child, and a person who is supported in good fath by the registrant in a relationship similar to that of parent and child but shall not include- any person 18— years of age or over unless he is physically or mentally handicapped._ Family Relationship A man who submitted evidence of fatherhood to his local board before the August 25, 1953 deadline may be deferred only so long as he maintains a bona fide family relationship with the child or children in their home. In other words to qualify for a deferment, father must be living with the children in the home. If he becomes separated or divorced and is no longer living with the children, he is no longer eligible to be defered as a father and he becomes eligible for immediate reclassification.

SCHOOLS—Prom Pt|t Two them with these same disadvantages. The farm child in America is entitled to* an, education -which is every bit as good as that available to the child in the largest city and which at the same time takes advantage of the rural setting and is adapted to the special needs of rural children. We can have such an education if members of local school boards will follow a few basic principles: 1. See to it that the school Cur— riculum is planned by people Who know something about country life and country children—what they already know and what they need to know. For example, training in vocational agricuture should be available for all who want it. 2* School activities and afterschool activities should be planned with the children's working hours in mind. In [ the past there . is little doubt that f some farm chidren have been over-. * worked at home. With modern^ machinery and appliances this should no longer be necessary, but farm chil- 4ren—still-have, and should have, at least a few regular chores to do at home and the child should not find it necessary #to miss interesting and educational activities at school because of these home responsibiities. 3. While you recognize the special | needs of rural children do not overI look the fact that many of thefse jt children will attend colleges and | universities and some of them will | become city adults. Their education | should prepare them both to live as - enlightened country men and women and, if they choose, to live comfort| ably with their city cousins. 4. Build the best school building your community can afford but don’t I spend so much on the building that | you must hire a poor teacher or let I a good teacher get along on an inI adequate salary. If you must choose, a good teacher in a poor building can r do more for your children than a ■ poor teacher in the best of buildings. ; But if your school building is too< bad the good teacher will probably avoid your school. 5. After ytou have invested many thousands of -dollars in - a building don’t make the mistake of trying to . save the few extra dollars it will take to !buy some essential equipment. Even a one-room school should have a good small library including encyclopedia and dictionaries, a good globe and wall maps, a projector and some carefully selected scientific equipment including a small microscope. ~ - -6r Sec that- your school has good* lighting in the classroom?. A few dollars spenfron tights may save many more dollar's in bills frojn the oculist or optometrist. And good heating and ventilation may save in d-octor’9 bills later. s 7. After you have hired good teachers, give them a fair, chance to develop a good school. They should listen to the opinions of the parents and be influenced by them; but they can’t please them all, and the'school board and the reasonable citizens FUMOL MOTH PROTECTION SAVES YOUR CLOTHES—SAVES YOU MONEYi 1 kfh| VMt (MW In today to McROYAL Laundry - Dry Cleaning Phone 49b - FRONT ROYAL should protect them from the busybodies and the pressure groups who make up reasnable and conflicting, demands. 8. There is no reason to jump on every bandwagon, and the fact that something new is called “progressive” does not always mean that it is sound; but.neither does the fact that something was taught in one particular way when you and I were in 1 school mean that it ought to be taughtthat way today. Don’t be afraid to let the teacher tiy out a new teaching method now and then. You don’t operate your farm just as you did in 1920 and the teacher should not be expected to teach just as he did in 1920 either. 9. If you now have a one- or a two-room school you may profitably give some thought to the advantages and the disadvantages of consolidation. If you live hi region of small farms and comparatively dense poplation such consolidation is usually more economical in the long run and may make for better education if the schools are properly planned. But i£ you live in a region of large ranches or in mountainous areas you may find that consolidation will cause your child to spend so many hours on the bus that it is better to improve your local school. s 10. If you find consolidaton impractical because of the distances involved, that does not mean that you must be satisfied with a poor school. If you have a good teacher, a —modern huilding and some essential equipment, a one-room school can provide excellent elementary education, particularly if there are not too many chidren/ A good farm home in a prosperous and enlightened rural community is probably the best place in the world for a child to grow up. But even the child from the best kind of home will need at least twelve years of good schooling if he is to be prepared to _ meet ther problems of living in the United States in the coming, half century.

While she is hospitalized, Mrs. Carson Lillard is acting as assistant clerk in the Flint Hill Post Office. SCHOOL—From Page X The county would close the Forest Grove School, those children going to . an Amissville School to the 3rd grade. The county would use the Washington School as an elementary center, with the upper elementary grades from the other schools. This plan, put into effect, woud also help the very serious teacher shortage. New teachers are no longer interested in the one or two-room school house. The present crop of loca teachers will probably expend itself in ten years. To get competent accredited teachers for our children, we will have to provide adequate school. The graduates from teaching colleges are being lured to more attractive schools. -Ironically, the population _spends three times as much money on liquor ”asGt"d(‘)es‘"oir'g'choo'ls: The film shown-, - “A rlington’s Fightfor Better Schools,” was an excep.-. tionally fine film pointing out the serious conditions of the Arlington Schools, and the way the people of Arlington took it upon themselves to remedy this situation.
