The scene is a hovel. Eight

Get the cog out, please" Mr..
Estep orders. Dogs, he explains,
are the banes not only of post

know what to expect from a dog

THEY MOVED out of the
rabbit building, into the
stream of fair-goers, and
stopped to let a hog pass.
"Mommy, mommy, look at
the oink-oink," said a small
girl, standing beside them and
holding tightly to her mothers
hand.
The two ladies grinned at
each other, smiled at the girl,
and when the hog was past,
walked on toward the cattle
pavilion and sat down on one
of the benches.

The judge went on saying
nice things, but his true COL

down the line.
"These are fine CATTLE" he
said. But as you can see as

"This one here doesn't have
enough heart" he went on.
I'D like to see stronger legs

"Tsk," one of the little old
ladies said. They got up and

Judges Unfair
: At County Fair?
By JACK JONAS

The judges at a county fair
can be a mighty insulting lot.
Here it was, day with the
sun just high enough and
just hot enough to put every
body in a holiday mood, and
to warm the hearts of even
the hard-bitten concession
aires.
The crowd at the Montgom-
cry County Fair at Gathers
burg was growing. It was
early enough, too, so that the
wide-eyed youngsters weren't
tired enough to be clamoring
to go home, when they knew
full well that dad wanted to
take another look at the trac-
tors.
The cotton candy and the
hot dog business had begun to
pick up. The ferris wheel and
merry-go-round we're turning
with full loads. Farther down,
the man running the freak
show was promising wonders
never before seen.
A man guessing the age and
weight of a woman was hav-
ings some difficulty. After all,
he'd picked a woman. He
wrote down the age on a
card-34.
Twenty" the woman said.
She took her kewpie doll
prize and walked away hap
PLY with her group of chill
dren. The oldest looked about
10 or II.

BY CHARLES G. BROOKS

The ambulance crews at the
District General Hospital have
learned to expect anything from
the critically injured to the tired
man who just wants a free bed
where it's clean.
But they never know. anc
each call is treated with the
same calm haste.
Each ambulance is manned by
two f1rst-aid men who also are
classified as drivers. This started
on July Is when first aid men
were hired to replace interns on
the vehicles.
For longer than a year, con-
troversy ragged over the use OF
interns, with the hospitals
medical staff urging the use OF
first-aid men instead of the
doctors.
This has been done in many
other cities with great success
The theory is that a first aid
man can do as much for an
emergency patient in the few
moments of travel time that q
doctor can do.
More Time in Wards
And it gives the interns, each
of whom spend a month of their
years internship riding the
ambulances, more time to work
in hospital wards.
The drivers, most of whom
have been there for years, feel
the emergency patients may be
getting ven a little better deal.
AS one said. IAN inferno would
just get broken in on the ambu-
lance when he'd be taken of
and fresh one would start"
Mrs. Barbara Hodges. chief
of the hospitals medical assist
ance division. said the ambu-
lance crews are carefully picked
Each man must have a Red Cross
first aid certificate or the equiva-
lent. plus several years of first
aid experience. These, she
added, are minimum require
'ments.

NEARLY EVERYBODY was

NEARLY EVERYBODY was
feeling good, except perhaps
the age and weight man. And
then there were those judges,
! making insulting remarks.
Z Two little old ladies, straight
out of American Gothic, lin
gered outside the rabbit build
ing.
What next, map" one of
them asked.
why don't we go in here?"
the other suggested.
So they went inside the rab-
bit building. There on the
judging table--each in its own
little wire cage-was a group
of the prettiest and biggest
white rabbits ever seen this
side of Easter.
A man in a long white coat,
with a judges blue ribbon
pinned to his lapel, was pull
ing the rabbits out of the
cages one by one and looking
them over.
9 Fair type" he said. "Fair
ears, good head, weak shoul-
derS, fiat rump; good density
of fur, but soft"
He put that one back and
pulled out another.
Fair head" he said. Good
body, but too short to be well
proportioned; flesh weak, fair
shoulders, fair ears"
That was no way to talk,
even about a lady rabbit, or a
gentleman, as the case may
have been.
"Tsk, tsk," one of the little
old ladies said. Lets go some
where else"

Monday would withhold State
funds from any schools that in
tegrate and provide tuition
grants for private education of
students wherever public schools
are closed.
The rebellion rumorS were
brewing in Arlington, Norfolk
and Charlottesville. There was
no organized movement as yet,
but at least one State legislator
was counted among the would-be
rebels.
Two Methods Suggested
Two methods of holding back
taxes were being discussed. One
would be an outright refusal by
individual taxpayers to pay their
State taxes. The State can Jail
those who refuse to file income
tax returns, but can only impose
financial penalties on those who
do not pay.
The second method under con-
Isideration would involve an Or
Iganized action by a county or
city challenging the States
right to collect taxes in any area
that does not receive State funds
for schools.
Senator Garland Gray of
Waverly, chairman of the
Gray Commission, apparently
was aware of a possible tax re-
volt when he announced Wednes-
day that a majority of the
commission had agreed to scrap
tVirginia's original desegregation
plan in favor of the Governors
all-out resistance program.
Issue Posed to Gray
Senator Gray, who was among
the 10 commission members sup
porting Gov. Stanley's plan, was
asked if he expected commune
ties that are cut off from State
school funds to pay State taxes.
They should, I suppose" he
added with uncertainty. He ac-
knowledged that communities
under court order to integrate
would seem to have only two al
Iternatives under the Governors
'Iplan: Cd Pull out from the State
school system and operate their
own schools under some plan of
compliance with the Supreme
Court decision, or 90 close their
public schools and let children
be educated privately with State
tuition grants.
A Norfolk legislator already
has told Gov. Stanley that city
would operate its own school
system if necessary, rather than
close public schools under the
State plan. A desegregation suit
currently is pending against
Norfolk.
It was considered likely that
Arlington and Charlottesville
might do likewise, rather than
close their schools according to
the Stanley plan. Both are
under court order to desegregate.
Local Funds Heavier
The school systems in North
ern Virginia already are sup
ported principally from local
funds. A breakdown Of their
budgets shows it wouldn't take
much more local support to make
up for any cutoff by the State.
The 1S56-57 operating budgets
of the four suburban commune
ties near Washington are sup
ported as follows: Fairfax Coun-
lty. $11.9 million total, with $8.4
million from local funds. $2.1
million from the State and $1.3
million from the Federal Gov
eminent; Arlington County, sos
million total, with $7.3 million
in local funds, $1.3 million State
