Shifting Load Causes Truck To Overturn In Washington Early Wednesday Morning; Driver Escapes Without Injuries A loud exploiion-liko noil* cracked through the quiet of Washington at 8:30 Wednesday morning, as a tractor trailer, unbalanced by a shifted load, teetered on its wheels and slumped on its right side in front of the Merrill Apartment bouse. Jamas Stinson^ of ^Toan^'&Nhtkri driving the 1956 Novick Transfer Company tractor-trailer, was out of Winchester, enroute to Lynchburg. He was carrying miscellaneous freight. Unhurt, . Stinson said he felt "very lucky” as in those last few; seconds he was fearful the cab would jackknife under the trailer, pinai*g;Maubfc'Wr TtonnefTthe S«ip«ar Stadia accident on the shifting- load. Witnesses stated that Stinson was going only around 15 miles per hour while rounding the corner. the usually busy corner, noisy with children on their way to school, and full of parted cars, was, thanks to Lady Luck, empty for that moment whan the aeeident occurred. ,V" Forest Grove P-TA Note Progress On f Playground Project; ’ The Forest Grove P-TA held its monthly meeting' Monday, March IS to discuss the progress made on the playground program.

She had failed after being rescued, to answer a second $50,000 question which didn’t even bother to leave out die famed “kitchen sink”. The questions that stumped die Mayor were: Q. 1. What was the full name of George Washington’s adopted step-son and who was his tutor? A. 1. John Park Custis; Bouchet Q. 2. Who painted the 30 portraits of George Washington and what was the year of the first painting? A. 2. Charles V. Peal, 1772 "; Q. 3. What was the fraternal order for officers of which George Washington was president? ^ A. 3. Society of Cincinatti Q. 4. Who was George Washing-k ton’s personal secretary in 1786 and who recommended him? A. 4. Tobias Lear, secretary, recommended by Benjamin Lincoln Q. 5. Name the 3 doctors at George Washngton’s death bed and the date of his death ? A* 5. Dr. Crack, Dr. Gustanus Brown, Dr. Dick, 1799. These long weeks, crammed full of study, tension, telephone calls, and advice, reaped for Mrs. Davis $9,000 in material assets, and many new friends, in a less tangible wealth. To the county, it brought, $900 for a new parish house a new power mower, and national recognition. No one can argue that it was surely "time well spent.” Number of Local .«* Children Receive Polio Vaccine This is the report of the total number of individuals in Rapahannock County who have received one or more doses (injections) of Salk Poliomyelitis Vaccine since it was licensed April 12, 1955. School Children, Grades 1-3 1st Injection, 264, 2nd Injection, 155. I through 10 years, 1st Injection 148, 2nd Injection, 154. 3rd Injection 1. Grand total 821. Of this total have had what is considered good protective treatment against paralytic polio. One has received the recommended series of three doses—the second two to six weeks ajfter the first, with a third (booster) dose at least seven months later. One dose of polio vaccine is not td be expected to give protection against paralytic polio, though the results in 1955, where children rejived only one dose of polio vaccine, indicate that one dose is appajrently more protective against jralytic involvement than had n expected. dose builds up some resistance (immunity). The second dose increases the resistance. The (Coatiamd on Pag* 5) Rev, John Divers Returns To County The Reverend John R. Divers, who has been hospitalised and confined to his home as a result of injuries sustained in an automobile accident, will return to the county today, Thursday. Hr. Divers will resume his pastoral duties, and will conduct services in his churches Sunday: at the Washington Baptist Church in the morning;; and in the Flint Hill Baptist Church Sunday evening. Parents and Teachers Try To Remedy Teacher Shortage ; An enthusiastic frank exchange of ideas on the procurement of teachers and “holding them once they are here” was the tone of 1, Tuesday’s Parent-Teacher’s meet- \. ing at RCHS. The school board ' and teachers were well represented but there Was a noticeable shortage of parents, suggesting an alarming i apathy on their part. 1 “What the PTA can do to make Rappahannock more attractive to present and future teachers” brought forth many and varied suggcstidfts, including: i) Let the teachers know they are welcome citizens of the community by your personal attitude; - 2) Even as the teachers respect your job as turner, laborer, wjhite collar worker, io you should show a mutual respect for their work as a teacher; • 3) Improve the housing situar . tion for hoarding teachers 4) Increase recreational facilities. It was the sentiment that not too, much could be done in the latter vein. Liking or disliking the country life, with its opportunities and its drawbacks, depends on the * personality of the teacher, However* * the PTA, the ^hurch guilds and other organizations could make a special effort to welcome the & teachers; ' ■ ■ VV’ / -v-; Members present suggested that the general educaton apathy, die' lack of interest in the school situation, was a county-wide problem, although in Forest Grove and ■ other small communities, there is a - fast awakening, progressive element of interest. In spite of these exceptions there is a general “don't care except when it hits my pocket-> book” attitude. The question was raised as to> whether the present unsettled segregation-integration issue might not promote a lack of interest among the parents. “It provides a good excuse to use instead of their old time worn ones", commented an interested citizen. The “borrowing” of the 10 cent school construction levy to pay .or the reassessment this year as suggested in the tentative budget, was another issue discussed. As •there was no specific promise but only inferences that the levy would be returned to the fund, it was considered wise for the members to show the supervisors they expect it back, come another year. As the reassessment is a financial problem to be coped with every five years and as Rappahannock: has had to cut expenses to the quick, in order to squeeze out a balance in the budget without raising the tax, another form of revenue was thought necessary. E. M. Jones, present at the State Sales Tax committee meeting in Richmond spoke of the increasing sentiment for a sales tax. “There must be additional revenue”. "There must be something to attract and provide jobs for the young people that graduate from our high .school.” Industry was a suggested remedy. Not a large, noisy,, smelly plant, but a small clean, selective industry. One perhaps that would employ a large number of women. Instead of hurting the farm labor stuation, such an industry would stablize the present labor by giving the wives and <C—HwmU M r*c* 8) • ■ . 'V .. .

Do > THERE IS NO CHOICEI (Rsprintad Iran dw NortlramfcnrUnH Eclw, Mink IS, 1SSS). It to to be feared that when the history of these times to written in the light of subsequent developments, the statesmanship of our present political leaders of Virginia will not look good. The 'May, ’64 decision of the U. S. Supreme Court was distressing but it caught few of us really by surprise. Largely, the nature of the decision had been feared and expected. The trend of thinking had warned us. Our first reaction was d i s a p pointment — we had hoped against hope—but there was a general if reluctant admission that that was that and we would have to make the best of it. A possible way out whoch at - least had the laudable vistue of fending off immediate action towards statewide integration was opened up by the proposals of the Gray Commission. The people endorsed these proposals, which did not prohibit integration in areas where integration would be acceptable to the local people bat did seem to offer relief for those sections of the State where the idea of integration was in sharp conflict with local sentiment. The proposal! represented ths moderate course and had the merit of seeming to offer alleviation of a disturbing condition which threatened the cause of public education in Virginia. For a number of different reasons, the people endorsed .them overwhelmingly by voting for a change in the State constitution that would permit those localities that did not want integration to provide funds for the education of students in private schools. The General Assembly, however, seemed to read into the resalts of the referendum a mandate to float the U.S. Supreme Coart. Some of the people did want this and they received encouragement from high quarters. The more sober cinded—and they are many— did not. Before the constitutional convention could get down to business, the Gray proposals had been discarded. Wooed by the siren song of an Oklahoma-born editor of one of the big Virginia dailies, they fell in love with a strange goddess called Interposition. The chief charm of Interposition seemed to be that it had been invoked some 125 years ago, under entirely different circumstances, by Virginia legislators, many of whom bore the same names as the legislators of today. Fortunately, before the thing got to the voting stage, enough of our legislators had either heard from the grassroots or had vaguely sensed there was a strong element of the ridiculous in their actions and the ultimate resolution was toned down from the originally conceived bellow of defiance. But with our embracing of this will-o-thawisp, Virginia became the leader of a movement. Other Southern states followed, and with other resolutions that were more rabid than ours. That is where history is going to point the finger at us. We have led the other states down a cul-de-sac at the end of which, inevitably, they will have to turn back. The actions of the General Assembly, as a result of the referendum vote, have been regretably like, at the opposite polo, ths antics of ths NAACP. Neither has shown common sense or wsiwed I judgment, let alone reason. Everybody who has hind the courage to look the situation square in the eye, lying aside as far as possible inherent prejudices and personal preferences and feelings, knows that integration, eventually, is inevitable. Sound, far-sighted statesmanship would have recognised this, even though such recognition would have been temporarily unpopular, and would have devoted its efforts to creating an atmosphere in which the need for adjusting viewpoints wpuld have been stressed, even as the necessity for delay in implementation of the decree was emphasised. Instead, we have eeen the attempt to prohibit integration' in any section of theh State, the passage of the absurd Pope amendment, and threats of retaliation, etc. Instead of a calm and realistic evaluation of the situation, the historic Virginia General Assembly has seemed to try to outdo the NAACP in vindictiveness, with apparent FITTS’ DRIVE-IN THEATRE FRONT ROYAL On Strasburg Road TBUR - FBI., MAR. 2? - 23 DOUBLE FEATURE ♦LAY THAT RIFLE DOWN’ ROD CAMERON “HEADLINE HUNTERS’* SATURDAY, MARCH 24 FRANK SINATRA STERLING HAYDEN “SUDDENLY” SUN. • MON., MAR 2]5 - 26 dBK DOUGLAS BELLA DARVI * | GILBERT ROLAND “THE RACERS” TUBS. .

The eligible'group (children 1 through 10 and expectant mothers) should receive this protection now to get two doses of vaccine before the 1956 season really starts. Only 25% of the known eligible children have received good protection against paralytic polio. They have had two or more of the recommended doses. One thousand two hundred and thirteen children, one through ten years, were listed in the 1955 school census. There is no way of knowing how many expectant mothers are eligible for the polio vaccine. Expectant mothers are estimated to be about twice as susceptible to paralytic polio as the non-pregnant women of the same age group. Polio vaccine is advised for pregnant women. Polio vaccine may be obtained from the private doctor or may be obtained, by appointment, at the vaccination clinic of .the Rappahannock County Health Department, phone 2631. _ Yum-Home Cooking At Bake Sale, The Ladies Auxiliary of the Washington Fire Co., will sponsor a Bake Sale on Saturday, March 81, in the firehouse, beginning at 10 a.m. Coma and do your Easter marketing.

No Easy Life Is This Telephone Company Trouble-Shooter The Manager of the Sperryville Exchange who has accumulated 31 years of service with the Chesapeake and Potomac T e 1 ephone Company took a breather this week and looked back pver the decades of wrestling with daily problems which make up the job of the fellows who install your telephone and keep your service at peak efficiency. The repair and installation men would consider it a serene life, indeed, if they had only to worry about electrcal shocks, rainstorms and pet rabbits eating , telephone rorrta. .1 ’ll * ’ But not so. Tilings happen. Unexpected things. “There is just no telling what you may run into in this business,” grinned John R. Brown local telephone manager. According to Brown, a resident of Madison for 20 years, the installation representatives and the pole men, the chaps you see daily clinging to the wooden spires, and the engineers, have to know as much about public relations as they do telephones. “They have to meet the public” he said “and the darnest things happen when they do.” Take the case of the poor engineer who drove up to a farmhouse in the county to check a right-of-way permit. Actually he was doing alright until he happened to go through the flower garden in the fear of the house, and what a mistake it was! “It so happened that a young lady was taking a sun bath in her garden. They saw each other at the same time, and,—and, well, that’s why our men get trained in public relations!" Not withstanding such unavoid* able incidents, the telephone com- - pany is one of the safest places to work. Such safety measures as rubber gloves for linemen, that will * withstand a 10,000 volt charge, make it so. The company constantly checks and rechecks standard, safety procedures, seeking to improve them. “Oh we’re safe enough,” said Mr. Brown, “when we are just doing our job. But these situations that always seem to pop up, you can’t guard against these.” “Tell me,” he said, “what can you do when you have finished a )■ job on a pole and some big dog camps down below and starts licking his chops and looking hungry? Well, I had that to happen and 1 finally gave up on him getting bored and going away. I tapped in on the fellow who owned the hound and he came and took him away. Oh don't get me wrong, we like dogs. It’s just that sometimes they don’t seem to care much for Uogs can DC handled, out tne company sometimes has a real problem with people. “You see,” said Mr. Brown, “We had a pole on a farmer’s property. 1 had almost finished my job, but when 1 started to string the lines, the guy appeared with a big rock—, and that was that.” “When such incidents occur, I just don’t argue, I pack up and retreat in a hurry. I then figure a new phase of approach.” “Still—we have it a lot easier than the fellows did years ago, now that we have modern equipped trucks.” Some of the customers were a little leary of changes made by the company over the years. When the old-fashioned desk set ’phone was replaced by the hand set,” according to Brown, “tnfny persons were reluctant to use it. They feared they would “not know which end to talk into.” The practices of the company have changed also, with the passing years. Today, telephone men are not allowed to accept a bottle of beer from a customer. Soft drinks and a doughnut, maybe, but no alcohol. Practical jokes have almost be-. come non-existent With us too, although sometimes we can't resist the opportunity. •. “1 recall the order of no alcohol, many years ago, ’’laughed Brown. “Shortly after that time, I happened to be having a root beer with my lunch. We had a very conscientious foreman and when he saw the brown-colored bottle in my hand he hustled over. I knew what he thought so 1 kind of hid the bottle « as he approached.” 1 -* ■** “Uh—Brown—what are you drinking?” he asked nervously. With a straight face, Brown informed the boss he was “just haying a little beer with my lunch.” According to Brown, the remark had the desired result. Inc headaches come from customers, generally who decide when I nearly have a unit install- -, ed, that they wanted it someplace else in the building after all. The laughs come sometimes from puzzled customers and from the weird happenings which cause a telephone to go out-of-order. Some are not so simple. “I recall one that had me stumped for a while,” said Brown. “I kept getting intermittent trouble on a rural line and couldn’t find it anywhere, until I found that one party line user was putting wet diapers on the telephone set cord.” Happily departing, Mr. Brown said, “It's all part of the job for the telephone 1956 automobile license plates are now on sale at Hampton Inn and Service Station hear Washington, from 8 a,m. until 4 p.m., Monday through Saturday.
