Judge and Chief
Blame Parents
For DeIinquents

ROANOKE, Va, Sept. "a
(AP). - A police chief and a
juvenile judge had harsh words
yesterday for the parents of
1860.
It is with the recalci-
= trant and reluctant parent that
we have our greatest problem
g. They are the ones who
contribute the most to juvenile
delinquency" Chief William F.
Peach of the Newport News
police said at the conclusion OF
the 335th annual convention OF
the Virginia Association of
Chiefs of Police.
Judge Irene Pahcoast of the
Alexandria Juvenile and Do
meStic Relations Court pointed
an accusing finger at "the
parent who refuses to accept
parenthood the parent of
the child who did not choose to
be born parents who de-
mand too much of their chill
dren."
Law enforcement officials are
all too familiar with parents,
exhausted by problems who &C
cept the line of least resistance.
After winning all of the battles,
the child eventually wins the
war against parental authority,
said Chief Peach.
The chiefs elected Julius F..
Ritchie of Harrisonburg, pres
ident. He succeeded Wilmer j..
Hedrick, Henrico County chief.
Other new officers are John
w. Stover, Bristol, first vice
president, and w. L. Burrow of
Franklin, second vice president.

IDEA BORN 90 YEARS AGO
Campfire Honors Parks Service

Back in September of 1870,
q band of men rested by a
campfire after a month of ex-
ploring the rugged Western
country known as Yellowstone.
Most of the men. seeing the
spectacular falls, canyons and
geysers, had exploitation on
their minds. But one, a judge
in the Montana Territory
named Cornelius Hedges, sug-
gested the land might be turned
into a national park.
Eventually, the others agreed,
and two years later Congress
established Yellowstone Nation
al Park in Wyoming.
Last night, in a grove of
trees near the Carter Barron
Amphitheater, another camp
fire blazed in the night as men,
berS of National Capital Parks
remembered the goth anniver-
sary of the founding of the
national park concept.
About $50 employees of the
park unit and their families
attended the event, sang songs,
watched a Park Police dog
jump through a flaming hoop
and were shown a film about
the great national parks of
the West.
Conrad L. Wirth, director of
the National Park Service, put
a torch to the campfire in rec
ognition of the anniversary.
He described Mission &C."
the Park Services expansion
and improvement program, as
successful to date. He said it
is being revised and that its
new features will be announced
soon.
He added that national parks
throughout the country are at
tracing some IS million visits
each year.

Church Group
Hears Talks
.ByCundidutes

HAGERSTOWN, Md, Sept.
"a (AP) Representative Foley,
Democrat of Maryland, and
his Republican opponent,
Charles (Mac) Matthias, were
not far apart on many of the
national and international is
sues they discussed last night
before a church group.
The two candidates for the
9Th District congressional seat
spoke to about rs members of
the Church of the Brethren.
Their speeches and the ques-
tions steered clear of personal
attacks and local issues. Some
of their remarks on national
and international questions in
cluded:
Separation of church and
state-Mr. Foley, a Catholic.
said, I'VE must adhere to that
time-tested tradition. That
American ideal has set an ex-
ample for all the world" Mr..
Matthias, a Protestant, echoed
Mr.. Foley's sentiments.
Farm problem-Mr. Foley:
"If you are for control, then you
have to be for parity prices.
Until someone has a better
formula. I'm going to vote in
favor of protecting the farmer. "
Mr.. Matthias: The price sup
port of 80 per cent is the root
of the problem. While the
farmers acreage is restricted,
the production per acre will
increase out the competitive in
stinct."
Red China-Mr. Foley said
he favored every possible
means of containing" Red
China but predicted its ulti-
mate admission to the United
Nations. Mr.. Matthias said.
"It's a matter of principle that
Red China not be admitted to
the U. NJ, and we cannot in
dulge in expendiency of the
hour"

The mansion was under
going a $4,000 remodeling job
when fire broke out on Sep
tember 4, destroying all but a
shell despite the efforts of 100
firemen.
The new restoration will cap
years of work by Mr.. Sherman
to preserve the house, which
has been owned by his family
since 1850. Earlier this year he
fought successfully to get an
access road to Dulles Interna-
tional Airport realigned so that
it would not doom the mansion.

photographs and drawings
were made and were included
in the collection of documents

Two old hurricane lights
went for 500; a Whistler etching
for $110; an antique plaster
bust of Benjamin Franklin for
$3.50. and a soda for a quarter
at Sloan'S Friday auction.
"They cost a dime" whisp-

dime for getting it and who
would have the nerve to ask
for nickel back?"
Members of Antiques Anony-

Hepplewhite and orange auction

Thirteenth street art galleries
with visions of taking home a
steal.
"Once you let the bug get
Iyou," warned one, you spend
all your afternoons here"
Standing shoulder to shoulder
in the back of the room were
most of the men. They were as
glazed of eye as the women, but
as one rather thankfully said,

Inever-ending, confusing stac-
cato of prices and descriptions

Their heads snapped from
side to side, as if watching a

back and forth between Mrs.
