Rev. A. H. Rapking

The following letter from the
Currydale Community in Dodd-
ridge county, West Virginia,
just came to my desk:
Much as we regret your de-
cision to accept the call of duty
to another field, we cannot do
otherwise than accept it as that
of a devout conscientious man
whose aim in life is to serve
rural people. Your years of toll
among West Virginia rural COM
munities have b EN- years of
toll and anxiety. You would not
have had them otherwise.
Existing ,conditions have
made it impracticable for you
to live with e a C h community.
nevertheless, you have come to
Currydale when duties permitted
and brought encouragement and
inspiration, making tn a
better community in which to
live.
GAS you leave for a new field
of activity, our thoughts will
attend you in the devout hope
that your labors there will be
and we shall keep happy mem
cries in our hearts of your mani
fold activities, Of your fellow
ship, and your leadership among
u.s." Very sincerely.
Greta F. Randolph, Pres.
Lucy Fleiffing, and
Pearl Randolph, Committee
l greatly appreciate this word
of appreciation and encourage
ment, and I will continue to
cherish the memory Of the fine
fellowship and comradeship it
was my privilege to have with
many of the good people living
in the rural communities of
West Virginia. When I look
back to the time when | came
to the state to live in 1919 and
think of my experiences and
what has happened during the
years, it almost Stems like a
dream. | am very grateful in
deed for the privilege / had of
sharing so much of my life with
so many of the folk who live in
West Virginia.
An that lead me to say that
it would be well for all of us to
be more grateful for the bless
ings we do enjoy. While on the
train this morning, in talking
with an Italian business man he
said II am glad that l live in
America and not in Europe,

There is entirely too much
seEfishness abroad in our fair
land tod V, and no doubt, it
would be a wholesome exper-
fence for many of our people if
they had to live under dictator
for a while. If they are at all

They were married Just a little over
month after Mrs. PTyors death. They
could not afford to wait longer, they
had waited so long already. 10 years
and before that all the long precious
time when living side by side they had
hardly known each other. They we're
neighbors but Rodney and his mother
weren't people who had ever encour-
aged neighborliness. Annie would nod
and speak to Rodney whenever she
met him on the road and that was
about all.
It had begun the winter Rodney
started taking milk into town to the
restaurants. At that time he had an
old touring car and he would set the
milk bottles in two wooden boxes on
the back seat
One morning when he passed Just
as she was coming down the bank from
the gate on her way to school he
stopped and asked If she didn't want
to ride.
1t wasn't such a long walk to school,

ways then up the long hill and there
you came to the street and the side
walks. But at that, a ride was welcome.
Then 1t got to be a habit for her to
get in and ride with him every morn

wait for her.

Closer inspection and more rigid
restriction on the operation Of
school BUSES In Montana was
urged by state Officials after rem
reSentatives Of three departments
conferred at Helena.
The Officials said the Montana high
way patrol, the state railroad and pub
I lie service commission and the state
/ department Of public instruction were
/ interested in the situation.
/ Lou G. Boedecker, supervisor Of the
4 patrol said he felt I'VE can't be too
/ rigid In regulating the operation Of
buses which transport children to and
from school in our state"
he said other states have regulations
OF much more strict nature on school
buses. particularly the state OF Wash
ngton. He added he and other Off
Gals OF Montana at the present time
were studying copy OF the Washing
ton regulations and had found them
to be highly desirable"
Horace F. Casey, member Of the rail-
road and public service commission.
said his board was interested in the
school bus problem because OF the fact
the commission had learned some bus
drivers were operating their vehicles
for hire after completing their chores
In picking up and delivering students.
wrong Use OF Buses
He also said sworn testimony given
at rail board hearings had produced
such information as was obtained when
one school bus driver testified ne used
his vehicle for a cattle truck off hours.
The rail board member pointed out
that body has no jurisdiction over
school buses except In instances where
they are being operated for hire. In
such cases, all regulations of the rail-
road commission, including display OF
licenses and adherence to published
safety regulations, are required.
Through the state public instruction
office 1t was expected efforts would be
made to contact the various school
districts Of the state to see II boards OF
trustees would cooperate in requiring
stricter safety regulation enforcement,
the officials said
Supervisor Boedecker stated some
of the buses now operating In the
state should be hauled off the high
ways-they are by no means adequate
TO meet safety requirements"
Are Improperly Equipped
He said the patrol had received re-
ports of instances of improper equip
ment being carried on school buses.
Some carry exhaust heating equip
ment; some do not allow for proper
vision In cold weather due to lack OF
frost shield equipment. and many do
not have auxiliary doors, to be used
In case the regular doors we're blocked
Tor some reason.
Pointing to the recent catastrophe
at Salt Lake City, the patrol chief
warned that "the transportation Of
school children is one of the most i'm

Crippled Children Denied Benefits of School
Because Shortage of Funds Limits Bus Routes
Jack Whelan's Plight
Like That of Sir
More in d. e..

Bright, ambitious 9-year-old Jack
Whelan sits at home in his wheel
chair and tries to carry on his educa-
ton in makeshift fashion by studying
his sisters school books.
At Langdon School. the District has
equipped special classroon1s for physi-
cally handicapped children like him
and fitted out other rooms for treat
ments that would help his powerless
legs grow strong as his mind absorbed
the book learning he Graves.
But Jack lives at I'LL Michigan ave-
nue. NE. And Lapgdon School Is at
Twentieth and Evarts streets NE.
That isn't so far for youngstT able
to walk to bus or street car and in
and out Of the school.

self would be as easy as it would be
for you to walk out to the moon His
legs withered by infantile paralysis, he
can't walk.
Six Others Left Out, Too.
He is not alone in his plight. There
are at least six other crippled children
in the District, who. like him. were
happy at Langdon School last year but
are having to stay at home this year,
according to Mrs. M. J. Hanley, 1893
Twenty-fourth street NV, chairman
Of the District PIT. A. Congress Com
mittee for Handicapped Children.
They are left out because the Dis
trict does not have money enough to
include their homes on the route Of
special buses which carry 43 other
crippled children to the LAngdon
School each morning and home each
afternoon.
1T is tragic" Mrs. Hanley COM
mented. that we have all that fine
equipment especially for them at Lang
don and they cannot share in its bene-
Ats just for the lack of . few dollars
to run the buses a bit farther"
Funds Cut to $4,000.
Last year the District had 81, 500 to
spend on this bus service for crippled
children and those requiring it to
attend the special sight conservation
classes and the health school.
The School Board asked for ap-
proximately $25,000 for this purpose
this year, but Congress appropriated
only $4,000.
| AS a result, Robert L. Haycock, as
sistant superintendent Of schools, ex-
planned. officials have had to plan the
bus routes in order to serve the great
est possible number and simply leave
of some Of the children living far out
and considerable distances from other
stops.
This lack of funds caused Jacks
home to be eliminated from the bus
schedule. 1t also affected one of his
classmates, Joseph Henning, 13, of 1914
Eastern avenue NE. whose family
used to take him over to Jacks home.
where the bus would pick up both OF
them.
Joseph isn't 80 badly crippled as
Jack. He is able to walk by himself
in good weather and now is getting to
school by street car. But when winter

comes, he will have to stay at home
too.
Jack can't move out Of his wheel
chair by himself. There were two
men on the bus that came by for him
last year-the driver and an attendant.
The latter would walk to Jacks door,
carry him to the bus. and then carry
him from the bus to another wheel
chair at Langdon School
In the classroom, there was a desk
made especially to rest his withered
legs comfortably. Across the hall
from the classroom, ther is a room
f1tted out with the most modern equip
ment for treating his condition He
got these treatments three times a
week and was showing considerable
improvement. Now he is deprived of
them as well as his schooling, the
handicraft classes where he could learn
to work with his hands, and the COM
panionship Of other handicapped chill
dren which had kept his spirits high

smile as he sat in his wheel chair,

Midshipmen Rescue Woman
Swimming Home at 3 Am.

Three Annapolis midshipmen were
receiving acclaim from their compan-
ions today for rescuing a 24-year-old
woman who awakened them with her
screams about 3 am. yesterday, when
she became frightened while attempt
ing 3-mile swim in the Severn River.
The midshipmen, r. P. Desmond,
A. I. Lyman and J. T. Straker, all Sec
ond classmen, were slumbering in Ban
croft Hall when they were awakened
by a woman screaming for help.
They leaped from their beds, decid-
ing the sound came from the Severn,
commandeered a wherry, or rowboat,
and headed into the dense fog.
They located a woman swimming in
the river and screaming Justify. When
they pulled her out, she was clad in
scanty underthings and shivering.
Meanwhile, Capt. Alfred Benson,
commanding omcer of the station ship
Reina Mercedes, had also been awak-
ened by the screams. He ordered q
crew to the rescue. but the midship-
men got there first With the help Of
the crew. the 1nidshipmen took the
chilled woman 70 tho ship.

RELIEF FUNDS BID
WAITS ON REPORT
D. c. Heads May Put Issue
to Congress-$9OO,0O
Held Far Too Little.

Concluding several days of discus
sion of appropriations requested for
the next fiscal year by District relief
officials, the Commissioners yesterday
indicated they would leave the solu-
ton of the issue directly with Con-
gress.
In view of the fact that an official
survey of the adequacy and admin
istration of relief now is being made
at the direction of Congress. the Com
missioners are expected to withhold
any definite recommendations on the
size of the sum until after the survey
report is published.
For the present year, Congress
granted 100000 for direct relief dis
bursements, sum public and private
welfare leaders have insisted Is far too
small. Miss Alice Hill, relief director,
and Welfare Director Elwood Street
have requested an appropriation for
the next year amounting to 81 49,, 1922
for relief of unemployables, but have
deferred their requests for funds for
employable needy persons until after
the survey is completed. No funds
were granted this year relief Of en-
ployables.
There are indications the Commits
sioners will place in their estimates,
shortly to be sent to the Budget Bu-
reau, a sum of about 5000, 900 for di-
rect relief, merely repeating the sum
granted for this year by Congress, and
Withholding final recommendations
until later.
The survey is being conducted by
Burdette G. Lewis for an advisory COM
mittee including Ringgold Hart, WASH
ington attorney; William L. Beale,
banker, and DR.. Robert Moran. The
report is to be submitted about De-
cember l to Senator Thomas of Ok
lahomA and Representative Collins of
Mississippi, chairmen of the District
subcommittee of the Senate and
House Appropriations Committees.

class If his fortune should change and
he be able to get to school again soon.
He would be in the third grade this
year.
Father Is Pessimistic.
His father is pessimistic, however.
D. J. Whelan, the father, is an engi-
neer at Anacostia High School. He
realizes that school officials would
have the bus come by for Jack if 1t
were possible. His hours Of work
are such that he cannot take the
boy to and from school himself.
Mr.. Whelan explained that Jacks
legs had been helplessly crippled
since he was stricken with infantile
paralysis in 1882. For awhile hi,
whole body was paralyzed, but now
only his legs are affected. The upper
part of his body appears strong and
healthy and his mind is unusually
keen.
In directing attention to Jacks
plight. Mrs Hanley emphasized that
his case differed only in degree OF
his crippled condition from the hall
dozen other children left of the bus
route this year.
Il know the school officials cannot
be blamed for having to limit the
bus service" he said. There just
wasn't enough money appropriated
We can only hope that Congress will
provide more next year"

According to police, the woman said
her name was Mrs. Buryll Lucas. She
gave her age as "a and said she was
the wife of Alfred Lucas of Eastport
Md.
Police said she had been out with
another girl and two sailors Friday
night. On the way home they stopped
for a moment at the Severn River
Bridge, where she suddenly announced
she would swim to her home in East
port, some three miles distant.
She stripped off her dress, dived
40 feet to the water and was promptly
lost from view in the fog. She told
police she had been in the water
about 40 minutes before she discovered
she was swimming in circles. Then
she screamed with such volume as to
awaken slumberers blocks away. When
she was picked up she was about three
quarters of mile from the bridge.
After being wrapped in blankets,
she was treated by doctor and taken
to the home Of her parents In Eastport.
The three midshipmen were ON
cially congratulated for going to the
rescue and being able 10 locate the

There are rs girls and two boys in
the ensemble. The boys didn't ap-
pear at Ben Murch School. where the
classes assemble. yesterday but they
promised to come later Mrs. Giles
would like to have a few more BOYS
for solo work.
Boys shouldn't think of ballet
dancing as sissified," she insisted
ITS really hard work. Look at
Shawn and Nijinski.'
Most From High School.
The girls are all between the ages
OF Is and 20. A few are from George
Washington University, a few from
private schools. but most of them are
from high and junior high schools.
Most of them, too, would never have
the ballet training they love If the
Community Center Department had
not organized the classes last year.
According to Mrs. Giles, the Washing
ton ballet Is the only one she knows
with civic sponsorship.
Mrs. Giles plans to start her STU
dents with the ballet dances of the
Victorian era, interpretations Of the
rose garden. the poppy and the swan.
Later they will progress to more mod
ern themes with a social significance
One of the difficulties faced by the
class now. Mrs. Giles said, is lack
OF proper equipment. The dancers
should have large ballet mirror to
watch their mistakes and correct
them. And they are in need of an
exercise bar. Right now they use
heavy chairs turned against the wall.
The chairs are too low and the girls
have difficulty getting a grip on them.
But the girls are going right
ahead, clumsy chairs, aching muscles
and ALI While their chums are max
ing merry with swing" they are
working to prove the ballet was here
to stay long before the shag.
