Northern Neck Town Can Bank on Its Women
By ChorIes J. Yorbrouah
Star STAFF Correspondent

CALLAO. Va. Nov. 80. - AS
usual, and probably as it should
be, the women handle the money
in this Northern Neck town in
Northumberland County.
From a neat. rose-tinted Office
with everything but chintz cur
tains. Mrs. Nettie c. Pitman has
been running the Bank of Callao
since 1943 and doing a job highly
satisfactory to the customers as
we'll as the directors.
There isn't man on the staff.
Money from the trading area S
fishing industry on the Potomac
two miles away, from farming,
business and stock-breeding, pour
across the heavy oak counters into
the hands of three other women.
Woman's Touch Accepted.
Neighborly economics is about
the word for 1t. First-name trans
actions, whether it involves a $40
check or a $4,000 loan, are the
rule rather than the exception.
The town Of 600 long ago grew to
accept a woman's touch in the
business.
"a man new to the area may
come in and ask for the cashier" :"
pleasant Mrs. Pittman smiled. 81
may be in my Office and one of the
girls will call.
when I walk out, the stranger
sometimes insists. I asked for the
cashier I tell him I'm it. We've
had no complaints"
The bank alone should give
Mrs. Pittman a busy time. But
in addition, she is a member OF
the Chamber of Commerce, treas
urer of the Volunteer Fire Depart
ment she helped found six years
ago, a member of its auxiliary and
one time treasurer and is the new
president OF the Northern Neck
Essex Clearing House Association
of Virginia.
In Insurance Business, Too.
Throw in q one-third partner
ship in the insurance business
with her husband. Lester A. Pitt
man. and Paul r. Dawson and II
adds up to a well-f1lled business
life. But Mrs. Pittman. hand
some. deceptive 40. has acquired
a working grace that makes it
appear easy.
She has q full-time maid In
the neat, fenced, brick bungalow
only a few doors away from the
bank and still has time for oc-
casional evenings at the Tappa-
hammock Yacht Club, week ends
in Richmond and a drive to
movies in nearby towns.
But I guess It's going to run
into 1852 before ] get a vaca-
tion," she said.
Just q Temporary job.
In one of the few female
stated banks in the Nation, she

WARRENTON, Va. Nov. 30. -
Welfare-more commonly known
as relief-is being placed on a
business like footing in this pros
porous Northern Virginia county.
The change has been a gradual
one, starting several months ago
when members of the Fauquier
County Welfare Board discovered
it was costing more to give away
money in the county than to COL
lect the county taxes.
Board members said they were
amazed to find that the welfare
organization in the county was
costing over $4,000 a year to ad-
minister-more than the cost of
the county treasurer's Office:
Last year, a total of 500, 900 was
appropriated for welfare, of which
the county paid about $4,000. The
balance came from the State and
in some cases, Federal funds.
Staff Cut In Half.
The board got out the ak, with
the result that the local staff
was reduced from six to three
persons. and the>local superinten-
dent-a State-approved employe
resigned. The board began an
examination of the relief rolls
an examination that is still in
progress.
Board members said they found
persons on relief who had little or
no reason for being there. They
were removed, and applicants for
help now are examined carefully
by the board before they are
placed on the lists.
There was, for example, a wom-
an drawing relief who owned q
180-acre farm. And there was a
man being allowed enough relief

money to enable him to contrib
ute 81 week to the church.
All Of this, the board thought,
was contrary to the philosophy of
welfare. 1t tends, they argued, to
bring up a generation that looks
to the State for its support.
Tells Story of Hired Man.
One board member told of the
experience Of a neighbor. The
neighbor has a hired man who
cannot be depended on to be at
work promptly each Monday
morning.
Speaking to the hired man one
day, the neighbor asked what he
intended to do when he got old.
He was told his employe would go
lon relief.
But the case that exasperated
the board the most was that Of a
dairy farmer who applied for re-
lief for his mother.
Examination disclosed that the
farmer had a gross income of
$4,000 a year. but claimed that
his costs amounted to $12,600 q
year. He had taken over operation
of the farm at the death Of his
father, and his mother had then
given to him her interest in the
estate.
Board members said the farm
probably was worth $25.000, and
that there was q $4,000 debt
against it.
Appeal Now Pending.
The application was turned
down, and is now pending appeal
to State Welfare Headquarters in
Richmond.
There is another situation that
rankles board members-the State
headquarters has the last word in
local welfare matters. They feel
local board members are better

AS is their custom along about this time of year, the Seattle Rain iers are showing distinct symptoms of momentum today in the Pacific Coast League pennant scramble.
 The Rainiers slipped up into third place last night by trounclng the front running Sacramento Sol ons. Al. and if they perform the way they did last season in vault ing from last place into the flrst division. they could go all the way
 Seattle may not expect many more giveaway victories like the one las' night. however. All four Banner runs came in the fourth inning anc were unearned. Sacramento starter Bob Gillespie walked eight men De- fore he. was removed.
 The conquest put the Rainiers half game ahead of Oakland, Whlch lost at Hollywood, 3-2. Right Field CT Herb German saved the game tol the Stars in that one by a specl.cu- lar catch of Al Davis line drive with the tying run on base in the ninth.
 A ninth inning single by Eddie Barr drove in the run that gave Portland a 3-2 victory over San Diego as Red Adams chucked three hit ball in behalf of the second place Beavers.
 Bob Thurman broke up an over time contest at San Francisco, in which the Seals whipped Los Ang- eles. 5-3. Thurman's two-run homer in the bottom of the tenth decided the issue.

BLOOD BANK UNIT
 10 COLLECT BLOOD
 FOR ARMED FORCES

The local Red Cross in conjun- tion with the King County Gen. tral Blood Bank, Inc, Seattle, will collect blood in Juneau, June 9, for the armed forces in Korea.
 The unit of six people will arrive that day on the first trip of the season for the passenger ship AL eutian, and only will be in town while the ship is in port. The Alaska Steamship Company is transporting the blood bank unit free of charge to all ports of call in the gather ing of blood for the armed forces.
 St. Ann's Hospital is providing the equipment and space for the work to be done here. Nurses and nurses aides will be supplied thru the Red Cross to help the four nurses of the blood bank unit in taking the blood from local donors. Only those people who are in the best of health and have their doc tors approval are requested to give blood that day. Any one desiring to be a donor may call the Red Cross office at 883 morning only.
 Blood taken will be transported by military aircraft to Seattle. There it will be transferred for air shipment to San Francisco, main army distribution point to the armed forces in Korea. The blood must reach Korea within six days after it is taken from a donor.
 General Red Cross chairman for the day the unit will be in Juneau IS Mrs. M. o. Johnson Chairmen working under her will be Mrs. Charles Burdick, nursing services, Mrs Tom Dyer, nurses aides, and Mrs. Fred Henning, home nursing.
 Due to the fact that many nur- ses aides are working at the hos rital completing their periods of service, it is thought that some of the women who have completed the home nursing course could be of service. Aiding the four nurses of the units will be registered and graduate nurses who are organized under the Red Cross with Mrs. Robert Boochever, chairman.
 Mrs. William A. Wood will be in charge of the canteen service June 3 and all canteen workers are asked 70 volunteer their services.

 Told there. is a possibility the NBA might not consider him as champion, Garter said I'm going to give Williams a return bout and I'll knock him out quicker the next time. And after Ike. I'll take on anyone who deserves a chance and can bring in some money"
 The NBA, irked at Williams for not defending his title often enough, said Carter, rated 18th Tn it's rankings, was not considered proper opponent. A high ranking NBA official indicated however that Carter might be recognized Ii ne agrees to meet certain challengers within a definite period.
 The bitter, battered and elum eX- champion, who nursed Jumps under both eyes, said T lost because I took off too much weight too fast. II will be different the next time
