Little girls are all incipient homemakers.

Little girls all incipent homemakerS.
At tender age they trot around behind you wanting

Nothing makes them happier than to be given bit

ford their children luxuries
they might otherwise do with
out.
A word of caution here
the most important thing a
mother can give her children
is her time and interest. This
far outweighs any material
luxuries. If giving her chill
dren these luxuries means
denying them Of her time, she
is selling them short.
Many mothers work simply
because it is the easy way
out. There is no more chal-
lenging, arduous and difficult
job than raising young chill
dren. 1t takes all the brains,
ingenuity, skills and patience
one can muster. Many moth
erS find this more than they
can cope with and seek a
job to escape their primary
responsibilities.
These mothers frequently
justify their working with
such excuses like their in
ability to fulfill their crea-
tive needs in the home or
endure the tedium of house
keeping.
To this I say stuff and
nonsense. No matter what
your creative needs, no mat
ter what your skills and abil-
tiles, these can be fulfilled
in the home and community.
Incidentally, I am the
mother of six.

Red Wine

Mrs. L. r. r., Rockville
While I was in Italy I
learned a wonderful way to
get red wine stains out Of a
linen cloth. AS soon as the
wine is spilled, pour table
salt on the stain then rub
the salt into the cloth. Con-
tinue doing this until the
stain is removed.
In the case of a dried stain,
I would recommend wetting
the stain with cold water,
and proceeding in the above
process. Naturally, it will be
more difficult to remove a
stain that has been in the
cloth for some time.

Board Proposes
Changes In Dog
Rabies Law

A change in the starting time
for antirabies vaccination for
dogs in Prince Edward county
from four months to six months
Of age was ordered by the board
of supervisors this week.
While revising the county's
year-old antirabies ordinance to
conform to changes in the state
dog laws made by the last Gen
eral Assembly. supervisors also
added stipulation that sepa-
rate rabies incubation certifi-
Gates and tags must be issued
for each dog.
Heretofore, a blanket certifi-
cate covering any number of
dogs presented for vaccination
by one owner could be covered
by a single certificate. This
made enforcement procedures
difficult when dogs were sold or
their location changed, generally
leaving the new owner without
the required certificate.
These changes will be publish
ed for public study prior to final
approval. This is expected, how
ever. in time to make the re-
visions effective by the time of
the fourth and last 1862 dog~vac-
cination clinic on October 81.
The ordinance provisions re-
garding the use Of three year
effective vaccine, the display of
rabies tags and the presentation
of the rabies certificate when
buying annual Doy license tags
remain unchanged.
Oil Contract
Supervisors made these pro-
posed changes during their regu-
lar September session Tuesday.
During the meeting, the board
also awarded the contract for
heating fuel oil for the county
Court House to Brisentine Oil
Company, low bidder of the five
companies submitting bids.
The bids were requested on
the basis of the normal annual
consumption Of $1,000 to 10000
gallons. The Brisentine bid was

three cents per hundred below
the next bid.
