Fredericksburg to Hold
Dog Mart Saturday

FREDERICKSBURG. Va.-Two
hundred and fifty. four years ago,
a group Of Pamunkey Indians
strolled into Fredericksburg with
their peace pipes in hand and
bartered furs and gold for dogs.
That initial trading began what
now is the famous Dog Mart. This
year, the event will be held next
Saturday. There is not only the
Dog Mart now, but also horn
blowing, hog calling, fiddlers play
ing, Indian dancing, and creased
pole climbing adding to the at
traction.
Primarily, however. the day is
still set aside for dogs. Every
one can register his dog for the
mart. There are prizes in many
classes, including several for the
uglieSt dogs. Also, there is a
trick and obedience act.

A Sample Itinero
By Jacques FutreIIe, Jr.
The Stur's 1rovel Editor

Being experts at the business of
arranging vacations, travel agen-
cies have a way of packaging all
expense trips with wide appeal.
Cruise ship operators do the same
thing, and dream up combinations
of ports so attractive that they sell
out big liners for several success
Sive sailings.
There is a difference, though.
AS many as dozen ships may be
scheduled for winter cruises of the
two and three week variety. That
means, roughly. a dozen combina-
tions of different ports. Up to
the limits of their vacation cash,
cruise ship fans have a large Sc
lection of foreign lands. Escorted
train tours of the West during the
summer also offer a variety of des-
tinations and wide price range.
But in many trips packaged by
travel agents. the tendency is to
standardize on one route and a
single series of hotels and attrac-
tions. Such trips are designed
for economy and mass sales, and
the more appealing the price and
itinerary, the more customers.
So, sometimes, it is smart to
watch what is offered in packaged
trips for a guide to must at
fractions in an area, should one
want to make a trip independent
|ly. For instance, one of the world
wide travel agencies has just
announced a series of winter
tours of Florida using air-condi-
toned motor coaches over the
highways. Let's see what the
package contains.
] 900 Miles in 8 Doys
The tours will start at Jackson
vile. a main gateway to the land
where summer spends the winter.
First stop will be Silver Springs

A very interesting unit has just
been completed by the pupils in
Miss Hudson's fourth grade class.
The unit started when Emma
Mizell brought an Indian arrow
to class, after we had been read
ing about Indians in Florida. Miss
Hudson read story about rocks
to the class. The children unani-
mously said, "Miss Hudson, let us
study about rocks" A field trip
was then taken in the eommuni-
ty to see what rocks could be
found. So many rocks came in
daily until one teacher asked if
we were collecting rocks to build.
The class was organized into
committees with chairmen. The
teacher and pupils together plan
ned the things that they wanted
to know about rocks. In connec-
ton with the unit the following
materials from the InStructional
Library were used. Our Earth
Series, filmstrips, Our Soil Re-
sources and Our Earth, films and

been unusually high In their
praise for the activities of the
journal and the opportunity for
participation in such a venture.
The rules and regulations gov
erning nominations are simple
and make it possible for any
teacher who is doing outstanding
work in her school and conImun-
ity to be selected.
The selection is confined to
public school teachers who must
have at least three years of teach
ing experience at the beginning
Of the school year for which they
are nominated. Any individual, a
The Miami times., 1952-11-22

fellow worker, patron or student,
many nominate a candidate. The
only requirement is that there
should be a short statement Of
about one hundred words giving
the reasons for the nomination.
These reasons are expected to
show the teachers outstanding
work.

are given to the individual Sc

GROWING NEED OF ELECTRONIC BRAINS
 IN JET AIRCRAFT DESCRIBED IN PLANES

Pilots of today's supersonic air craft could not survive in combat without the aid of electronic equipment that works faster than their own brains.
 Describing the need for com plex electronic gear in modern jet aircraft, an article in 'Planes," of ficial publication of Aircraft In dustries Association, states that with each advance in speed and performance, devices are neces- sary to compensate for failure of the human element.
 Supersonic speeds have so in creased the complexity of modern military planes that the electrical

and electronic gear alone in the cockpit of one jet aircraft today is equal Gin complexity) to the com bined circuits of a city power system, a radio broadcasting sta ton, a television broadcasting station, and the fire control sys- tenn of a battleship.
 Without the aid of this equip ment, according to Planes, human survival would be impossible. The article adds that the increasing need for 'pilot protection" de- vices is a primary factor contrib uting to the cost of modern mill tary planes.
 Theoretically, if two pilots fly ing at 1,200 m.p.h. emerged from a cloud in collision course about a mile and a half apart, and were looking directly at each other, they would not see one another before they crashed head on. They would be travelling faster than the speed of human nerve impulses.
