Guidance Program

Personnel from the State En-.
ployment Office on Monday, Marci
13, will give individual interviews
to seniors who took the battery Of
employment tests last November
The interview includes an inter.
probation of test results with sug-
c1gestions for types of employment
appropriate to the aptitudes as in
dicated by the tests.
The students record is kept on
file at the Employment Office in
his own interest and for the use OF
prospective employers. Before
graduation, each student will re-
ceive a profile of his aptitudes for
his own information. Also, he may
present this profile whenever he
applies for a position.
Juniors and sophomores have
completed during the past week a
vocational interest and a scholastic
aptitude test. These tests were ad-
ninistered at this time in order to
help the student plan wisely his
program of studies for next year.
Besides, in some cases it will give
valuable leads for career planning.
During the last six weeks, the
eighth grade pupils have been
studying occupations in their social
studies classes. In addition to
learning about the requirements
for various types of work, nature
of the work, ETC., they have been
appraising their own aptitudes and
making tentative course and SUBJ
ject electives for next year.
From now on until the end of the
year we shall be working out in
dividually with grades 8 through
IL, the pupils program of studies
for next year. We should welcome
the parents interest and help in
planning. Generally, better service
is insured by arranging an ap-
pointment.
The Career Conference, schedul-
ed for 1:55 pm. on Friday, March
10, in the auditorium has been ar
ranged to stimulate interest in car
eer planning and to broaden the
students outlook on occupations.
Parents are cordially invited to at
tend both the general meeting:
How to Choose the Right Voca-
tion" and the sectional meetings
giving specific information for one
career.

Most Interesting Exhibit
at the Franklin Institute

The Yacht Exhibit proved most
interesting to me. There was a
wide variety of neatly built models
of ships new and old on display.
There was a model of Fulton's
steamboat and a description of how
it worked. There We're models of
old pirate ships as well as modern
battleships. There was a room built
like a pilots room on a ship. In it
were all the instruments and mech
anisms that pilot uses to guide
the ship. There was also on display
apparatuses that are used on the
sea. A demonstration was given
with the launching of model of
battleship.

My Trip to Franklin Institute
On the morning of March 8,
twenty seven of us left school at
10 o'clock. We sang songs all the
way up on the bus. When we ar
rived at the Institute we checked
our coats and then went down to
the ground floor and ate our lunch.
After we ate we could go through
the Institute until AS. Until then
we wandered around, pushed but
tons, and saw many interesting ex-
hibits. Some of them were in the
Aviation department, Physics
room, Locomotive room, Naviga-
tion in the Marine room, Observa-
tory, Chemistry. At las everyone
met outside the door to the Plane
tarium. The Planetarium was a
large dome with the outline of the
city's skyscrapers around the edge
of the bottom. The lights grew
DINNER gradually until the dome
was supposed to be as dark as a
summer night. The stars were then
projected on the dome. The speaker
pointed out different stars and told
about their connections with
Greek Mythology. After the show
was over we went around to the
parts of the Institute we had not
seen. At 4:45 it was time to leave.
we had not seen every
thing in the Institute we still COW
cred a great part of it. I believe
the trip was very worthwhile and
very educational.

.Anti-PoIlution Task
Poses Problem for
New Market Mayor

NEW MARKET, Va, Sept. A.
How New Market can comply with
Virginia's anti-pollution laws at a
cost Of from 100000 to O,000 to
purify its sewage emptied into the
North Fork Of the Shenandoah
River is major problem confront
ing Mayor T. D. Beahm. The
mayor began his third two-year
term last week.
i New Market has plenty of COM
pany in its predicament. The same
anti-pollution problem, in greater
or less degree, confronts the other
Shenandoah County towns of Mt
jackson. Edinburg, Woodstock and
Strasburg; the Page County town
of Luray; the Rockingham County
towns Of Broadway. Timberville
Bridgewater. Dayton. Elkton, and
the city of Harrisonburg.
Sewage of all these towns, and
OF the city Of Harrisonburg, emp
ties into the Shenandoah River OF
its tributaries.
Mayor Beahm, who is executive
vice president and cashier of New
Markets Citizens National Bank
says this town of TOO hasn't the
money to pay for a sewage-puri-
f1cation plant and it would be most
unwise to float a bond issue to
raise the money. Furthermore, he
thinks the voters would not au-
thorize such bond issue.
New Market still owes $50, 900
of the $85. 900 in waterworks bonds
issued in 1926, and that's enough
bonded Indebtedness for town of
this size" Mr.. Beahm said.
In compliance with instructions
issued by the State Water Control
Board, New Market has already
had a sewage control survey
made, and plans and specifications
drawn for two types of sewage
publication plants. This survey
ana preparation OF plans took the
better part Of the past year.
New Market is ahead of other
Valley towns whose sewage emp
ties into the river or its branches,
most of which have gone no fur
ther than hiring engineers to make
the surveys.
New Markets Sewage-disposal
plans and Specifications have been
drawn by Robert T. REGISTER, con-
sulting engineer of Baltimore, and
have been approved by the State

The Water Control Board has
given New Market until November

with no money in sight, it's

issue is cleared of suits, the school
board proposes to build a Negro

are also planned.
In Maryland, Prince Georges
County's problem is similar to that
Of Fairfax: The school population
has nearly doubled over the last

been completed in the last five
years and several others are in
