BUMPED OVER BANK

o. F. Carson and wife of Wash
ington were going home, Brandt E.
Clover, of Woodstock, was going to
Strasburg. All were going down
Fishers Hill Tuesday afternoon with
Clowers automobile in the van. The
Woodstock mans speed was too slow
for the Washington autoist and he
passed him. Passed him and in the
wake of the passing the Woodstock
car was standing on all tours at the
foot of the 30-foot embankment on
the East side of the highway.
The Clover machine in leaving
the road, following the bump, struck
telephone pole, righted itself and
plunged to the bottom of a ravine.
Carson does not belong to the hit
and-run class of motorists, and he
came back to the scene of the acct
dent, where he found Mr.. Clover
sitting pretty in his machine, unin-
jured and ready to resume the Jour
ney. The car climbed back in the
road, damaged slightly and paid for,
and the Washington and Woodstock
imam parted friends.

PRAISES LOCAL SCHOOLS

F. B. FitZsimmons in a recent sur
vey of Shenandoah County Schools,
writes f1atteringly of the schools of
the county in the Virginia Journal
of Education. He says:
The writer visited six of the
largest schools in Shenandoah not
long ago and compared their eff
cheney and achievement by the use
of certain standard tests. He was
very much pleased with the spirit of
the teachers and of the pupils. They
are doing standard work. and Su-
perintendent Shoemaker is doing a
fine piece of supervision.
He has surrounded himself with
a group of progressive and efficient
principals. This is the first condi-
ton for successful administration
and supervision. There is no trou-
Bile for superintendent to succeed
when he has well trained and ex-
perienced principals in his big
schools
Again. he has an efficient county
school board back of him in full
accord with his policies and plans.
Not single one is holding back,
but everyone is pulling his load and
is doing even more than his share.
Where there is hearty cooperation
on the part of an efficient board
such as we have in Shenandoah,
satisfactory results will necessarily
be the outcome.
THE schools of Woodstock, stras-
burg. Toms Brook. Mt. Jackson,
Edinburg and New Market were
tested in spelling, reading, several
phases of arithmetic. writing and
English composition In its many
phases of education these schools are
above standard achievement already.
The purpose of the survey, however,
was not to find the strong points
simply, but to discover the weak
spots in the system and to offer rem
edies. | am convinced that many
splendid results will be the outcome
Of this survey"

REALLY SOME WEATHER

With snow covering the mountains
west of Lynchburg, hail and sleet
in the Allghenies and Blue Ridge
and rain everywhere. this section of
the state has had several days of
such weather as only an Eskimo or
Noah would enjoy.
At times it would be warm
enough for Bee Wee Dees and a few
hours later one would dig into the
moth balls for the fleece-lined. The
mean temperature for April has
been high. In fact, the warmest
weather since meteorological records
We're kept in the Valley marked part
of the month. Then came the rains
and scrambled up with the downfall
was just little snow, some sleet
and passing hail stone.

EVEN THE BICYCLES

Roy Turner, 20-year-old youth of
Iarrisonburg, and his now cellmate,
George Otto, 21-year-old Michigan
der, hailing from Grand Rapids, are
in the Woodstock jail for offenses
almost as rare as robbing dodo
nests.
In the days of the nedle-pointed
shoes. and when the cottage organ
was an evidence of affluence, bicy-
Gle thefts were common, but in the
Ford era they seldom ever happen.
Turner and Otto, however, are not
so advanced in their ideas of thiev-
ing, and it is alleged that on Thurs
day night they purloined bicycles be-
longing to w. d. Sager and Jacob
Stoneburner and started north.

fruit and auxiliary organizations are
accomplishing much in bringing to
the Shenandoah Valley the thou

Thousands came to the Apple

these thousands many motored as
far south as Natural Bridge through
the Valley. Naturally the greatest
magnets in the Valley are the cav

and the best of them are located in
this section because of the peculiar
geological conditions which created
them.
Shenandoah County has within its
borders one of the greatest of the
worlds caverns, near Quicksburg

Sweden, after a journey through
Shenandoah Caverns, remarked: "If

GORDON ENDORSES BYRD
Watchdog of Treasury" Regards
Him as One of Best Business
Men in State-Is Against
Bonds

r. Lindsay Gordon, Jr., of Lou
lisa County, for many years one of
the outstanding figures of the Cen
eral Assembly, and often referred to
as the watchdog of the treasury"
has endorsed the candidacy of SEN
ator H. F. Byrd for Governor, in the
following:
ITO Editor of the Times Dispatch:
Sir: Permit me through the
peoples column of your paper to
express my hearty endorsation of
Senator Harry Flood Byrd for the
nomination of Governor of Virginia
in the August primary. l had hoped
that there would be an anti-machine
candidate, but since there is not to
be, shall do all in my power to aid
Senator Byrd's election on account
Of his fight against bonding this state
10 build roads. | believe it was due
very largely to the publicity given to
the question through the papers of
Senator Byrd and Delegate Keezell
that the bond issue was defeated at
the POLLS, and know that no man in
Virginia contributed as much to this
result as Senator Byrd. l had hoped
that the bond issue was dead, but /
see from the press that it is only
sleeping. The school children all
over the state are debating the ques-
ton as to whether the state should
not be bonded for the erection of adj
ditional buildings and other i'm.
Drovements at the institutions oil
higher learning of the state, and ]
understand that the University OF
Virginia or certainly its president
is supporting this proposition. Their
there will be another effort by the
city of Norfolk and Newport News t.
bond this state to improve the por
of Hampton Roads, and | therefore
anticipate struggle in the mex
Legislature to bond the state fo
these purposes and also one to hav,
short term bonds issued to built
roads, and while L do not know Sen
ator Byrd's position. | feel sure tina
the man who made the fight agains
: bonds as he did for roads will op
pose them for any other purpose. L
addition to this | am fond of hir
personally, and regard him as one o
the best business men in the state
aud believe that if elected he wi
give the state businss-like admin
istration with due regard for Thrift
and economy.
