AS tiny child. l recall the
site Of an old mill on the Newton
Cunningham farm, on a branch
of Spring Greek. The mill has
gone, also the dam, but large
rocks indicated the site. This
was known as "Cunningham's
Mill" and was probably the old
est in that community. and
probably operated by some one
of the Cunningham family.
I also recall hearing my cid
ers speak Of "Taylor's Mill"
which was toward Prospect in
the Sulphur Springs area. No
mill was there in my time.

Impending Decision

INDICATIONS are that the Virginia
Supreme Court of Appeals will an
nounce its decision at the March term
beginning next Monday in the case Of
Griffin, ct al. VS. Board of Supervisors
of Prince Edward County, in which the
petitioners seek writ Of mandamus to
compel the Board of Supervisors of
Prince Edward County to appropriate
and make available to the County
School Board sufficient funds for the
operation and maintenance of public
free schools in the County. This case,
stemming from decision by Federal
Court Judge Oren Lewis of last August,
was argued in January and following
usual procedure, the decision would be
announced next Monday.
The impending decision of this court
appears to be only another step along
the legal maze of the past ten years.
NAACP attorneys have noted an APP
peal to the Fourth District Court of
Judge Lewis August decision on two
points contained in the supplemental
complaint, namely, "a that the county
be required to operate public schools
within the County, and (2) that County
and State scholarship funds used by
parents to pay buttons for children at
tending segregated private school be
declared illegal.
To confuse the legal maze further,

his August decision stated that his de-
cision would continue in force until 20
days after the decision of the Virginia

Fear Can Be
chiId's Big Problem
In A HoSpifdI

Bobby didn't know he was going
to the hospital, in fact, he didn't
even know for sure what hos
pital was. No wonder he was
frightened and bewildered when
his mother suddenly disappeared,
leaving him alone in a strange
place with strange people. No
wonder that when he returned
home he cried and misbehaVed
whenever his mother left him for
even a short time.
1t doesn't have to be this way,
according to the Minnesota State
Medical Association, because there
are many ways parents can take
the fear out of disqualification. The
most important thing, according to
the Association, is to be truthful
with the child. Tell him he is go
ing to a hospital where doctors
and nurses will care for him, and
explain to him that he will eat
and sleep in the hospital, be given
medicine, and that certain tests
will be made.
Parents should check with the
hospital or doctor beforehand and
get an idea of a typical day the
child will experience, and then dis
cuss this with the child. Above all,
says the Association, answer all
questions frankly. Never show
fear to a child. Let him help you
pack his bag and include a fav-
orite toy.
If a child is in for surgery, ex-
plain in terms he can understand
what is going to happen to him.
If he asks If it will hurt, tell him
that it will hurt for a short while,
but that he will feel better when
it is over. Remind him there will
be certain amount Of pain and
discomfort, but 1t will go away.
If he asks about death, tell him
emphatically and in no uncertain
terms that the doctors and nurses
will not permit him to die - then
change the subject as soon as
possible.
When the child is admitted to
the hospital, stay with him until
he is settled in his own bed. Ask
your doctor If he wants you to be
present when the child is examin-
ed or when tests are taken. If
your doctor suggests you leave, do
so.
When you leave, don't make it
an emotional parting - no tears,
no Mysteries. The child may cry,
but nurses are trained to take
care of such a situation. If your
child has been prepared he will
adjust quickly. Remind him that

PLANNING A Trip?

If you are one of the millions of
American motorists who are plan
ming an automobile trip right now
it might be well to pause and look
at a few figures just released by
one of the largest automobile in
surance companies in the country.
The Travellers Insurance Com
panies in their report of highway
accidents during the preceding
year, made annually since 1881
with the exception of the war
years, has compiled a study of the
most dangerous hours and days of
the week on the highways.
1.-THE figures would indicate that
it's best to get an early start and
by the same token stop early in
the day." a spokesman for The
Travellers said in commenting on
the report that analysed last years
$1,000 traffic deaths and 3,057, 900
injuries.
The SO am. period accounted
for 10 percent of the fatalities,
lowest of those times listed while
CT pm. had the worst total, 6.s
percent. In the nine hour period
from am. to pm. total of
$50 percent of the fatal accidents
occurred while during the next
nine hours 51.9 percent of the
highway fatalities took place.
AS to the relative merits of the
respective days of the week, there
is no question that weekend travel
is the most dangerous, The Trav-
elers report said. Friday, Saturday
and Sunday contributed 53.3 per
cent of all fatalities while Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday add
ed up to 34.2 percent.
It was also pointed out that de-
spite the few cars on the road
from 1-6 am, 1853 percent of al
fatalities occurred within thai
period.

Can Exceed u. S.
Production = Upqren

1.-The common market countries
of western Europe can exceed the
United States in mass produc-
ton"
This statement is made by Dr.
Arthur R. Upgren, director of the
Manchester Bureau of Economic
Studies, in new bulletin called
Guide for Wages Today. DR.. Up
gren goes on to say:
Through trial. error, expert
mentation, and the practical con-
sequences of all these, the United
States has come in 1862 to a clear
and emphatic statement of what
is a desirable wage policy 1t is
being adopted and put into prac-
tice in today's wage bargaining
The policy is tested in two ways
fully to affirm its desirability:
Il. The policy will be noninfla-
tionary. To this both President
Kennedy and President Eisenhow-
er have frequently and empha-
tically attested.
"2. The policy will assist the
United States to meet the produc-
ton and productivity challenge OF
the common market of Europe, a
market which contains 1926, 100000
people (two-thirds more than the
United States population), and
which is on the march with pro-
ductivity gains at an average rate
twice that of the United States,
and which can adopt the latest
production methods on a scale
which for the first time in our
nations history exceeds ours.
THE desirable wage policy for
the United States today, as widely
agreed to by economists, much as
in their history-making agreement
in 1880 on the desirability Of lower
tariffs, can be simply stated:
Labor and management in no
case should increase wages in
Guiding fringe benefits above the
average rate of increase in man.
hour production for the entire
economy Of the United States.
Under this policy, wage in
creases will not cause initiation
From this guide, it follows that
there will be no cause operating
from wage policy to initiation. The
total wage increases will permit
workers to buy the total output
