AUTO CRASH FUND
OK'D FOR VIRGINIA

RICHMOND up. - The
House gave 58-to-26 APP
proval yesterday to a bill to
set up special fund to pay
damages and injury claims
up to $4,000 to motorists
involved in accidents with
uninsured drivers.
The fund would be financed
by increasing the auto IL
cense tag fee from $40 to
$11. Opponents attacked the
proposal as socialistic and
mandatory insurance in dis
guise.
It now goes to the Senate.

Montgomery County taxpay-
ers today had before them the
outlines of what it will cost to
run the county school system
next year: SIS million for oper-
ating costs plus an additional
$12.2 million to build new
schools.
The outline is far from COM
pete. It was shown last night
when the Board of Education
held its annual public hearing
on the construction budget.
Speakers appearing at the
session in Wheaton High School
raped the board for a hand
to-mouth" approach to school
planning, failure to provide a
timetable for migrating schools
the building of diversified "edu-
cational factories" and the lack
of justification" for individual
projects.
Another expression of dissatis-
faction came from the Mont
gomery County Education Asso-
citation, which called "unrealistic'
tentative proposals to boost
teacher pay scales by 5000 a year
The association is seeking $500
raises.
Increase of SIS Million
The two budgets totaling $685.
million represent a gain of $5.s
million over last years spending
rate, even without teacher pay
increases expected to cost up to
STA million, and without addi-
tional spending for school facili-
ties sought in many sections Of
the county.
The operating budget, which
the board refused to release
night, was barred at the
Wheaton meeting, together with
a report of a lay study commit
tee on teacher salaries.
The association, pointing out
that the teacher report was kept
secret from teachers and the
public until today" said the 5000
pay raise will not keep the county
competitive in enlisting new
teachers.
The organization, represent
ing the county's 1900 teachers,
supported the recommendation
Of DR.. Forbes H. Norris, superin-
tendant, for 5000 raises, with
minimum starting salaries OF
$4,000 for teachers with bach
elor's degrees.

We Toured Yellowstone Park
In Covered Wagon in 1909
By MRS. o. C. LAWRENCE

1T WAS IN the spring of 1909 that
my brother, Fred Schlichting, got the
urge to visit Yellowstone Park. He had
made the acquaintance of a Charles
Mccoy at Hulett, town in the far
northeast corner of Wyoming. Mr.. Nc
Coy had visited the park two years
before and was so impressed with the
wonderful sights in the park that he
was eager tc go again. So Fred and
decided we would like to go and we
planned on leaving in June.
Mr.. Mccoy had covered wagon and
a spring wagon that had buggy top
over the seat. The covered wagon had
bed and stove and we carried a
tent, cots and food in the spring wagon.
He had three horses and I had two,
so we had a team for each wagon and
an extra horse which we led as a saddle
horse.
Started July IL
We were delayed for one reason and
another, so it was July IL before we
started out.
When we reached Moorcroft we met
a family from Rapid City, SD, Mr..
and Mrs. Fred Harris and their four
boys, ages to II. They had sold their
ranch in South Dakota and were headed
for Idaho in covered wagon drawn by
team of mules. They decided they'd
like to see Yellowstone Park, too, and
we were glad to have them join our
party.
At Gillette, where we stopped to visit
some friends, we learned that the roads
on west had been badly washed out by
heavy rains. Mr.. Mccoy and Mr.. Harris
wanted to turn back but my brother
said it was all in lifetime. We'd never
know the difference a hundred years
from now, and we went on.
We got stuck and nearly upset several
times. 1t took us five days to go from
Gillette to Arvada, distance of about
so miles.
Buffalo Looked Good
Finally we reached Buffalo, small
town at the foot of the Big Horn noun
tains. While we were camped there l
made the remark that l would like to
live there-which am now doing.
1t was July &c when we started up
over the mountains. We had to hitch
four horses to each wagon and it took
us It'll noon to reach the top. There
we made camp and found quite a mum.
Der of other tourists camped there
Montana farmer-stockman., 1956-06-15

Three young men from Rapid City were
good fishermen, so they and some of
the other men went back few miles
to Crazy Women Greek where they
caught Sc trout We had all the fish we
could eat.
Later we crossed Powder River pass,
elevation 1866 feet, and drove down
Ten Sleep Canyon and camped near
Ten Sleep, which is 5000 feet lower
Between Ten Sleep and Cody we had
to buy hay for our horses most of the
time, as it was a dry summer and grass
was very short
Good Fishing
We entered the park at the east en-
trance and camped for some time near
the Yellowstone Lake. While we were
camped there Fred and several other
men made a raft and went fishing on
the lake. They caught quite a number
of lake trout but they were not as good
eating as mountain trout.
Mr.. Mccoy wasn't feeling well, so he
remained in the camp while the Har-
rises, Fred and I made the circle road
through the park We took the spring
wagon and left the covered wagon for
Mr. Mccoy
One night while we were camped not
far from the falls of the Yellowstone I
was awakened by noise outside the
tent. I called Fred, who looked out Just
as a bear was jumping out of our
wagon. The bear had taken our bacon,
so we had to do without bacon until
we reached Gardiner, the north en-
trance of the park. The bear also came
back again that night and scattered the
dishes on our table, but no one got up
to drive him away.
Traffic Problem
We proceeded around the circle, visit
ing Mammoth Hot Springs, Old Faithful
and the other wonders of the park. Even
in 1909 traffic was a problem. There
were many horSedrawn wagons on the
roads and the roads were so dusty it
was miserable travelling. One day we
met SO stages, some drawn by as many
as six horses.
After we made the circle we reioined
Mr.. Mccoy and headed for home. This
time we went down around by Their
mopolis On the way between Cody and
MeeteetSe, Mr.. Harris upset their
wagon. 1t gave Mrs. Harris and the
boys quite scare. Dishes and bedding
were scattered but no damage was done

Of Fairfax County territory four
years ago gave residential con-

which has continued undated.
Last year nearly 1000 new
housing units were completed
or begun, nearly all of them in

800 additional units in eight sub
divisions have been approved and
probably will be under construc-
ton during 1856.
Permits for more than $50
million worth of residential con-
struction have been issued since

was in 1858 when permits were
issued for SLAB million worth.
Figures for 1852 show $50 mil
