. There is hardly a home in the
countryside that will not be rep
resented at the Warrenton bach
elors' bali at the Community
Center on Saturday night but
the following Saturdays, one
after the other, will be parceled
out to the point-to-points.
With all the hunter trials and
point-to-point dates as firmly
fixed as the cork in the lining Of
a hunting cap, this week end is
the last one given over to a two
footed frolic.
Rappahannock Hunt leads off
on March 6 in Washington, Va.
at the Leon Greenaway's Leeway
Farm .. the same setting as
last year and with the same
brand of after-the-race party.
The Blue Ridge Hunt follows on
March Is at the Graham
Doughertys' Woodley Farm near
Berryville. the Warrenton Hunts
old-fashioned point-to-point will
be run on the goth near Warren
ton and on the 9th both Pied
mont in Upperville and the
Green Spring Valley Hunt in
Glyndon, Md, will be held.
There is a concentrated eff
fort being made this year, after
various mutterings in various
boards, to keep point-to-points
to the point - fair test for
horses that have been hunted
regularly and fairly" during the
season, rather than for horses
that are big hunt race material.
Piedmont, whose hunting has
picked up; had a field on Tues
day that was almost as repre-
sentative as the U. N. Mrs. Hol-
ger Bidstrup. Dorothy Fred. Will

who. in catching up with her
hunting. went out with two hunts
in one day last week; Mrs. Ridg-
ley White, who is back from
Ireland. Guy Rust and Jim Skin
ner made up the rest of Pied
mont's field.
Another horse show, new to
these parts. has been tentatively
set for May Is. The Hill School
PFC decided that horse show
out here is the line of least re-
sistance with the best gate re-
turns.
There is almost no organiza-
ton, except maybe the Fire De-
partment, that doesn't put on a
local horse show at one time or
another during the year - the
Foxcroft Show in the spring, the
Loudoun Pony and Junior Show
for the hospital in June, the
S. P. c. A. show in the fall, and
the Trinity Show in the fall.
which, last year, turned into an
auction.
The Trinity Church's fashion
show has changed its formal this
year. 1t will still be held in the
spring, April %. Masculine de-
mand to see what it's paying for
has crept in and it will be at
night so the gentlemen can at
tend without having to leave
their plows.
Instead of the Community
Center in Middleburg, the fash
ion show will be at the new Trim
ity parish hall in Upperville. The
hall is the latest gift of the Paul
MELONS to the Upperville Com
munity and. so far. it has not
had dull moment. Mrs. Thomas
Glascock is chairman of the
show this year with, among
others on her committee, Mrs.
Hunter deButts and Mrs. Paul
Llewellyn.
Mrs. Llewellyn's son. Kenneth
Burt who graduated from Yale
last year where he was on the
crew, is engaged to Sarah Rob-
inson of Belair, Md. Sarah is a
senior at Vassar. After their mar
riage, a year from this spring,
they will live in Chicago where
Ken has been with Republic Steel
since he left Yale.

PTA Council
Supports Teacher
Pay Schedule

The County Council of PTAs
has informed the Board of Educ
alton that the Council supports
the basic salary schedule for
teachers which Superintendent
Norris recommended to the Board
on January u.
The Council also recommended
that this salary schedule be put
into effect as rapidly as possible.
In making the recommendation
the Council stated that it was
fully aware that the proposed
schedule might require additional
taxation.
President of the Council, James
@. Reber, said that the Council
had become increasingly con-
cerned about teachers salaries
in the last two years because
it's. study of the problem clearly
showed:
1. that the County was often
at a salary disadvantage in COM
peting with neighboring areas
for the limited number of first
rate teachers available today;
2. that the County was losing
trained and experienced teachers
to government and private in
dustry for financial reasons; and
3. that over half of the teach
ers had to supplement their in
come by outside employment and
that this number was increasing.
