i i} SOME OBSERVATIONS PRO ani CON ' H ipaaa We haven’t been able to fihd out if Maury Brown has been able to use his hand this week, or if he j\'- *till has it i in bandages. Sunday < . . night at Guy’s Restaurant his hand had tp be bandaged — not _, from injurieja—but because he had just shaken j hands with Bob Porterfield, the pitching star of the Washington j Nationals, who with his wife anp two children were having dinner there. The way we understood It Maury was afraid he would fprget and wash the handshake Off, so he had the bandages applied. The first person to recognize j Porterfield was Bobby Menefee-j-we understand there was danger if an eye injury, due to the way nis eyes popped when he recognized the distinguished guest in the jrestaurant. The Chief# now stand 0—8 in the playoffs jwith Flint Hill A.C. Up to the last game it was too much Pickell, but what the reason was in Sunda; r's game we have not been able to ind out. We will try once more to find out the reason for so many losses, after such a good start in the season. Maybe they are trying to follow the pattern of play Nationals—wih of the Washington the early season games, then ehd up in the eellar.

These ladies cut every expense they possibly could until they finally got the budget down to where it required no additional tax on the residents of th# town, for the ensuing year. Sitting on the sidelines 1 did not | envy these ladies their job at all. They were conscientiously working on the problem whereby the people of Washington would be better served.

HITT HAS STARTED MANY ON THEIR PATHS OF LEARNING V. ■ L Jr. • i “Somebody remarked that such and such day would be Miss Della Hitt’s birthday. For the simple reason that a great many people in Rappahannock County have for years regarded Miss Della as an ageless, timeless and unchanging institution, her birthday^ excite little interest in many quarters. If there is such a creation as a living, breathing, entirely human! institution blessed with the divine ability to arouse in first grade schjool children the desire to learn, and to instill into them the orderly, welldisciplined habits of learning, the fundamental traits of good behavior, of politeness, courtesy, respect for authority and theif elders, of truth and fair play, then Miss Della is such an institution. Generations of children have leajmed to read, to write and to figurt,under the care of this watchful* patient, yet firm instructor. j How many times, increasingly1 in the last few years, have fathers and mothers been heard to say, with much more feeling than they show about other things in life, "I hope Miss Della will teach long enough to start my children in school/’ It is difficult indeed, to imagine a higher tribute.” , It was SO years ago that Miss Della’s desk began to accumulate’ apples and flowers. After several years of private tutoring^ she taught at her first school, The Ramey School near the 'top of the mountain. The daily trips from her home in Sperryville to the small school were made by horse and buggy. After 3 years here, Miss Della taught at die Atkins Town , School at the foot of the mountain. tier vigil at tne sperryville acnooi began 4 yean later when! she taught at the old bar room ( where the post office is now located.) This was part , of the crowded Sperryville school. ! ' Though she has taught other grades, Miss Della claims first graden as her love, saying “I don’t know exactly why, Just because I can appeal to them and somehow “reach” them better.’? she Miss Della laughs when thinks of those first yean of teaching. “Every year, I would work harder, so they would want me back next year.” Aqd for 50 yean they have wanted her back. She has become as much a symbol oi education in Sperryville, as school itself. die Born near Sperryville the daughter of James Hitt and Allie Nicholson Hitt, both formerly of Madison, she continued to make her home there with but brief intervals of living elsewhere. Fpr many years she and her sisters, Miss Ebba Hitt and Miss Beulah Hitt, have lived in a large white house in Sperryville, (In their yard in years back Mr. Hitt had his wheelwright shop,) Miss Della claims her education from the little red schoolhouse, followed by several years in private schools and a year or 2 at Farm* ville Normal Training School. Three generations of children have read their first haltering sentences from - the written page, under her patient eyes. Asked about the change in children’s “learning” and “behaving” in .her. years of teaching, Miss Della , replies that children are much the same 1 generation to another. Some put their mind to it, others wait to concentrate at recess, while still others never learn to sacrifice baseball for books. The new books, however, she states, seem easier for a child to learn from. When I talked with Miss Della after school, in her classroom, last week, she said—What’s interesting about me—I haven’t done anything to write about.” But you have, Miss Della, something that is hard to capture on paper. The introductory paragraph of this article was written by one of many who have taught with you. They know what’s interesting about you. Those grown up generations of children that you once taught could tell you too. But most convincingly is it told, Miss Della, by a well scrubbed apple and a shy smile from today’s children. Sperryville Corner Store To Open s >Saturday, October 1 v Sperryville Corner Store, for- ■ merly known as Schwartz’s Store, will have a gala opening this Saturday, October 1, with the owners, Mr. and Mrs. James Falls, promt's-^ ing free soft drinks to everyone. Mr. And Mrs. Falls, of Woodville, will operate the store on a similar scale to the Schwartz’. Mr. Falls, a native of Wood ville, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Layton Falls, now of Warrenton. Mr. Falls, a veteran, has been a salesman for the Pepsi Cola Company, Warrenton. His wife, a daughter of Mr., and Mrs. Weldon Burke, of Woodville, is a former derk in Leggetts’, Culpeper. They krill both clerk in the new store. ' Mr. Falls announces that the store will be dosed Thursday and Friday, so they can get ready for the Saturday opening. Everyone is invited to visit the store for the Grand Opening. ;!. .' * ' ■ ■ •• : f't Unnecessary To Tax Council Cuts Budget $200 From Surplus Taxes will not be levied in Washington, was the decision of the Washington Town Council, in a special meeting Monday night with town treasurer R. L. Brown. Via cutting out of the tentative ■ budget certain . nonesserjtials and dipping into the $3000 surplus, carried on interest in the bank, the balance will be reached. The tentative budget runs over the usual budget due jto the inclusion of several necessary itemsas the renewing of a 10-year lease for the dumping ground and election expenses. Several other items may be deemed necessary at a later date, such as the purchase of a new mower and oil heater. Therefore, a certa'n amount must be maintained in “miscellaneous.” R. L. Brown, in answer to inquiry, stated that $767, had been raised bv a 30c on $100 levy the last year of taxep in Washington. A town license tag, selling for $2.50 had also be used to increase revenue. * Council lady Miss Ruby Jenkins asked Mr. Brown if the'$3000 (surplus) on interest at the bank could be used if a shortage would arise, or was this sum earmarked. Mr. Brown explained that the $3000 could be used like any other revenue that comes to the town each year. To his knowledge it had not been earmarked. (If so, a record would have been made in his office, and it Would be carried on the books under the earmarked title instead of under general expenses. The council then reviewed the tentative budget, to cut out nonessential items. Several to be cut included: ^"purchase of a berJlanent Christmas tree—a ‘temporary one will be bought as in. other years; printing of colored post cards; printing of more town leaflets—700 now on hand; purchase of an oil heater for the town hall; painting of street signs; aad convention expenses. The other items were left “as is,” although there was discussion on how the* could be cut down too. Although cutting but these items left a small amount in miscellaneous, it was felt that' the amount might be too little, should an emergency arise. Therefore, $200 was voted to be taken from the surplus $3000 and put under V “miscellaneous.” High School Completion Exam October 20,21 " ■ Supt. Q. D.

RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MOkNiNG At Washington, Rappahannock County Virginia ’ DIAL WASHINGTON 2861 BRUCE S. BOWIE. PuMuhr' Entered u second-class mail matter at the post Washington. Virginia SUBSCRIPTION: in advance) S2.IIU a year Why Youth “DropOut Of School Albany, .N. Y.—Of 170,466 youngsters who entered the ninth • grade in New York State schools in 1948-49, only 92,764 remained to be graduated from high school. Why did they drop out? In a special report on "Dropout—the Cause and the Cure,” the-? . Regents Council on Readjustment of High School Education cities a survey of 781 high school principals from 93 per cent of the high schools in the state. The school executives were asked to rate drop! out factors as “most important,” of averagr importance," of little importance” or "unimportant.” The poll revealed: 1. Forty-one percent thought retardation (of one year or more) a “most important” factor in drop outs. 2. Thirty-seven percent rated low intelligence a “most important” factor. 3. Thirty-four percent rated "dislike of school" a “most important” factor. ' • 4. 1 hirty-one percent caueu me factor of “parental attitude” a most important one. 5. Only 28 percent thought students were lured away by a job as a most important factor. Principals taking part in the survey submitted jvith their replies some subjective' comments on the reasons for dropouts. A large percentige of school leavers, one principal wrotel “have been or are about to be-retarded one year or more. It is also significant that (many) of these have as the cause of their retardation in the constants, either failure in English or the social studies, or both. The teachers of these subjects feel that the principal contributing factor to failure in these, subjects is retarded reading ability.” Others wrote, “School is not proving to be a satisfactory experience.” and “The climate of the school if. the crux of the whole matter. While I do not underestimate the desirability of a widely differentiated curriculum I am convinced that it is not particular ly’important unless it is adapted to individual needs and growth in a warm atmosphere.” ’ The Regents Council therefore recommended: 1. That parents, members of boards of education, school , administrators, teachers and pupils take ah active part in building a strong CjOmmunity-wide recognition and acceptance of the value of univer >al high school education. 2. Th it the concept of public educatior be changed from the sterotype of “book-learrttng that goes onf in a building” to one of “a flexible Useful satisfying series of sequentat learning experiences in which every youth can participate to the fullest extent of his ability.” 3. That high schools continue their efforts to provide a combination hi general and specialized education which will reflect current soc meet the terminatt school, as continue high scho >1 o-economic changes and needs of those pupils who their education in high well as provide who will heir schooling beyond the 4. That teaching techniques, materials’and equipment be adapted to pupils of differing abilities, interests sand background, so that each pupil is accepted as a person possessing a normal yearning for recognitidn, new experiences, achievemeijrt and security. 5. Thajt practices in relation to standards! promotion, policy-making systdms and graduation re'quiremenis be made consistent with a philosophy which emphasizes individual differences. 6. That since the varied abilities and' inte -ests of youth make a thorough study and understanding of each ii dividual necessary before effective "ducational and vocation-, al needs can be made, a planned alneeds can be made, a planned guidance program beginning in the elementary schools and continuing in all hi jh schools be established without delay. 7.

OP” Culpeper Hospital To Be Discussed In Public Meeting A public meeting to discuss “a hospital in Culpeper” will be held Friday night, September 30 at 8 o'clock in the Municipal Building in Culpeper. At this meeting, a survey made of the needs of Culpeper for a hospital, will be discussed in detail. As Culpeper is the shopping center for a large number of Rappahannock citizens, its proximity would well make it a hospital center far a like number of people. Therefore this meeting is of great importance to Rappahannock citizens, particular in the Sperryville 'area. Plan to attend. Discipline For What “Eddie, You Will Come with Me to the Principal’s Office!” This time-honored practice of disciplining students is examined in detail in an article by Leila Stevens in “The School Review,” published by the University of Chicago. The author, principal of the College Laboratory' School, State Teachers College, Frostburg, Maryland,' presents data which show student reaction to a disciplinary situation involving pupil, teacher and principal. One hundred and fifty seniors from five large high schools located in three sections of Maryland were the subjects of the^tudy. A short “story” was given to each student who, in turn, had three minutes to’read the story and write a response. This was the story: “For severaal days, Eddie has been deliberately interfering with progress in the classroom, the cafeteria, the library, and the corridors by making unnecessary noise and confusion. His teacher has tried in many ways to get his cooperation. At last, she takes him to the principal's office. “How does each person feel?” "What happened in the office?” Various reasons for Eddie’s conduct were given by 44 students. Of these. 18 said Eddie wanted attention ; 11 blamed his conduct on dislike of school or teacher; 9 said the trouble originated in the home. The students gave Eddie a variety of emotions—ranging from fear of pleasure. Fifty-nine percent of the boys answering described emotions pf resentment, khame or fear, while only 46 percent of the girls listed these emotions. Seventy-four students described the teacher’s reaction. Of these. 33 said it would be one of regret; 23 said anger; eight a sense of failure, and another eight a sense of fms- • at popular pricms CHAMBERLAIN & HAMILTON OUTFITTERS , TO Gentlemen WARRENTON VIRGINIA tration. The principal's reaction was highly varied in the eye* of the students. Some said, “He talked to Eddie a* if the boy were his own son.” Qthers, “The principal is inPupils were completely split over what the treatment would be. Sixty-five expected guidance treatment and 72 expected some form of punishment, ranging from threats of expulsion to corporal punishment. The breakdown is interesting. A‘larger percentage of girls than boys anticipated guidance treatment rather than punishment. The girls were more optimistic than the boys over anticipated improvement. Three-quarters of the girls and about half of the boys saw improvement in conduct as a resplt of the conference. • The author concludes: “The great variety of motives ascribed for the misconduct reveal the necessity of diagnosis to ascertain the basic cause before prescribing treatment. The proposes of the effect of the conference .indicate the superiority of guidance over authoritarian methods.

Parsons stated that many survivors of deceased workers who died prior to September 1950 were told that they could not receive payments because the worker had not worked long enough under the law in effect at the time of his death to be insured. However, the 1954 Amendments to the SocialSecurity Act made it possibile to pay benefits to an estimated 200,000 of these survivors. Parsons explained that the social security law provides that no claim for monthly benefits can be retroactive for more than 12 months before the month "of filing. Since this new provision of the law became effective in September 1954, any claim for survivors benefits will have to be made on or before September 30, 1955 in order ta receive full benefits. Assistance in filing a formal application may be obtained from the social security representative who visits Washington, Va., the fourth Wednesday of each month in the Court House.

Lyne County Agent Some of our farmers are rightfully concerned over ensilage or hay that has been made from crops that were flooded as result of August rains. Since sand is to heavy to leave the stomach of ruminants it is possible for such animals to accumulate enough sand from forage crops made into winter feed that came from flooded fields to cause death. Action of the stomach wfall in the digestion processes results in the sand irritating the stomach wall until it is gone resultingi in death of the animal. [ According to Dr. V. M. Graves of Culpeper one of his clients suffered lose of several cows from consuming sand in drinking from shallow streams during the drought last year. Dr. Graves, upon past-morten examination of one of these animals, found .nearly two gallons of sand in the stomach. I have written Dr. S. M. Kileson. Extension Veterinarian ' of V.P.I. as well as C. C. Mast, Extension Animal Husbandman also of V.P.I. in an attempt to find but whether analysiis of samples of such feeds can be made to determine whether -or not it is safe and if so where and by whom.

Lillard HOMEMAKERS’ ITEMS Many window defects! can be cured Jby proper curtaining, say* Miss Ruth Jamison, housej furnishings specialist at VPI. H For instance, on windows too high and narrow for the Wall, extend the draperies out over the wall at each side ’of the window. down Use a | valance that comps slightly below ' the window sash. Use sill-length curtains oj- draperies. Place a piece of furniture under the window. The appearance of a window too short and wide can be improved by bringing the draperies slightly over the window at each side, i and keeping them within % narrow space. Use a wide valance, carried up above the casing onto the wall. Let the draperies hang to the floor if possible; and if there is no radiator beneath the window, the curtaians also can reach the floor. A vertical striped pattern wfill carry the *eye upward, accenting the vertical dimension. A favorite placement of windows in recent years is three windows in a series. Curtain t hem as a urfit. If tie-back'curtains are used, place them only at the end windows, or if the criss-cross curtain is used, bring it across die entire unit of three windows. Draperies and valance, if used, should also enclose the entire unit. If a dormer window does not completely occupy the horizonal .. space of the dormer, a drapery can be used to fill the space from window to enclosing wall at.each side; hut if the window completely fills the dormer from wall towail, »bandon the idea of using .drapery. Choose a simple curtain arrange ment. A dormer windcir is inset and its light is partly cut off from the room, so keep it lightly clothed.

The Department offers it to farmers with the warning that no one can predict prices and be right all the time.) BROILERS Broiler prices probably will come down some more in the next week or so, after a 2-3 cent drop last week to 22-23 cents in Virginia. Georgia’s price was 22 and North Carolina’s 23 to farmers. L-O-ST green tool box CMtiiibi Mckuiu look jo»t Sootkt of Hootly, Vt, Pot Olfico oo Root* #522.

Chief reason is broiler supplies about 18 per cent above the same time last year. Also, farm chickens are about out of the way as a ' factor, and commercial broiler supplies plus slackened demand, are the chief factors in the price. Eggs set are still on the increase. Week before last they were 16 per cent above a year earlier. This means a lot of broilers coming to market around Christmas, which will be a good tiime to avoid marketing your birds. Thanksgiving will be a bad time also. There are plenty of turkeys this year. Adding up the factors, it looks like broiler prices will be below the average grower’s cost of production again in the late fall and winter. With this prospect, the • erowrr has two choices. First he can cut production by betting out of broilers or reducing his numbers. But that's what growers did last year, and in February and March. Virginia’s entire broiler industry lost soiree of its good markets. j Virginia processors couldn’t fill their orders because of the shortage of local birds. Southern broiler areas got those markets because their growers didn’t cut back near as much. The grower’s second choice is to put out his chicks, but protect himself from losses. The competition from down south does this with a contract guaranteeing the grower a profit even when prices are low, if he does a good, efficient job. Some of Virginia’s l»ger contractors are changing to this guarantee and feed conversion type contract. _ CATTLE Prices at Virginia’s first three feeder calf sales were about $1 above the same three sales last year. Steers 350 to 600 pounds, good, choice and fancy grade, averaged $22 to $24.50. The same grade of heifer calves brought $16.50 to $18.50, or 5 to 7 cents less. . For farmers in the market for feeders, heifers look like a good bet. They can be bought 5 to 7 cents below steers, but the difference is only about 2 to 4 cents when the animals come to slaughter, * Also, heifers finish faster and at lower weights. They can be ready by the April-May period next spring, when prices for choice slaughter, stuff usually peak, , But be sure you buy heifers that wiH grade out choice, and be sure you have a local outlet. There is still discrimmination among some • meat users against heifer meat. If you have grass-fed slaughter stuff that is ready for market, bet■ ter unload some of it, even with grass good. ocarrrrra graNs* icu >aio prices now around $22 top, very little below grain-fed beef. When the big run of grass-fed cattle comes, prices will probably drop of? fast. Sell your cows off now. prices slipped a little to $10.10 last week. One heavy frost will bring a Jot of cows to market. If you have calves 175 to 225 pounds that will make good vealers now is the time to sell them, unless they are really good beef type. Veal prices last week at Virginia auctions averaged $23.85, with some markets topping as high as $28 to $30. At last week’s feeder cattle sales of animals 600 to 900 pounds, prices ran about . $19 to $20 for good and choice quality, in case you need something to eat the grass. hogs Sell hogs as soon as they have good finish at 180 to 200 pounds. , Don’t wait to put on extra weight Prices last week held steady at $17 to $17.50 in Richmond, $16.70 at Virginia auctions, and $16.35 to $16.75 at Midwest markets. Prices will be steady to weaker in the next week or so. Hog supplies are now turning bottom and the big' fall supply will start to market soon. | - ' - «/ - EGGS . .. Egg prices are pretty close to their fall peak. There should not be much change in the next week or so. Virginia prices were steady last week, with Grade A large at 57 to 60 cents a dozen and mediums at 45 to 47 cents. New York was down one to three cents to a top of 64 cents for local eggs. • * Ministers of any faith, or members of their congregation, art invited to send in church notices for publication in this column.
