SNCE TIME DlMEMORIAL pain has been identified with
childbirth. Relief from this pain has been goal Of
physicians for generations. As more and more power
fu drugs became available they were put to use to
relieve completely eradicate pain in labor. Ult.
mately, in the era of twilight sleep" in the early
Twentes some mothers received enough drugs to blot
out completely all knowledge Of the birth process
Unexpectedly, hOxepeT, dis goUe rise TO neC
complaint ohildbearng had too Frequently BECOME an
unre'Oarding experience Mothers teh they had been
robbed Of something thOt their babies ,Uere scarcely
theirs. And doctors found that such heavy doses Of
drugs sOsCed labor, could injnve bOh mOher and ciH
The pendulum swung in the other direction, and
an English Obstetrcian Cranty Dick Read led revolt
against the excessive of drugs and the mechanzed
conduct Of labor In 1892 he suggested that the birth
process must be kept natural as possible in the inter-
ests of mother and baby. He argued that birth is
normal physiOlogc event. that it is fear that induces
tension which leads to pain. Countless generations
have fostered that fear by word or deed Read sug-
gested that education concerning the birth process and
the proper preparation of the mother for the most
important time in her life would remove fear and
tension - and pain.

Natural childbirth as practiced by Read and his
loyal disciples became more than new medical ap-
Proach to labor and delivery 1t is religion, and its
disciples must not falter in its administration There
must be no use Of drugs to relieve pain no anesthec
agents during the delivery, and aid in the delivery
OF the babys head by fOrceps. The crownng achieve
ment OF the mother is the unaded birth Of the baby
by her own physical powers.
But after few years it became evident that natural
childbirth. too, had its faults. For one, doctors could
demonstrate that spontaneous delivery can under many
circumstances be more harmful both to babies and
mothers than carefully supervised and assisted delivery
Another, and unexpected, problem arose with some
mothers. In spite Of a womans desire to deliver her
baby without available aids, she may fail to accomplish
her goal Perhaps her labor longer than average
the pains" more severe than she envisioned or the
labor had to be terminated by the doctor because Of
medical complication. Such woman may feel that she
has failed as a mother because she lacked courage,
strength, or the maternal instinct.

"NOrthfield",
Historic Home
Lost In Fire
BY ETHEL FRANCK

CUMBERLAND, April 4-The
home of Mr.. and Mrs. j. T.
known as "Northfield"
farm was completely destroyed
by fire early Sunday morning.
The fire was discovered by a
passing motorist about Sis am.
but was beyond control when
the Cumberland Volunteer Fire
Department arrived on tn E
scene. The Gainesville Fire De
partment answered the call also.
Mr.. Midyette sleeping in a
bedroom in the rear of the large
home, was aroused in time to
escape unhalnled. He was clad
only in paja1nas, and nothing
was saved. The home was furn-
lshed with many valuable heir
looms, antiques, treasured por-
traits and paintings. Numerous
aged boXwoods. magnohas, and
large trees enhanced the beauty
Of the lovely and carefully land
scaped lawn. Some OF these
were damaged by the fire.
Mrs. Midyette was away on
visit at the time Of the fire.
The cause of the fire has not
been determined.

The March IS call statements
showed gains in all departments
when compared to the figures
for the first quarter of 1862.
Total assets of resources were
up S2.4l0.135 to $22.3l5, 596 n d
loans outstanding totaled $780,
377 which was greater by 81, ILL.,
OH than for 1862.
The first quarter call state
ments a year ago we're made as
of March 26, 1862. Call state
ments are required quarterly
by the U. S. Comptroller of the
Currency and the State Depart
ment of Banking.
Capital accounts of the banks
combined were up $84 .l43 over
the corresponding period a year
ago. They totaled ST, 567 All.
1t is interesting to note that
the total deposits at the end of
1862 were S57.815 below the total
deposits at the end of the first
quarter in 1868. This can mean
only one thing. Business is good
in Fal1nville. In fact, the above
figures indicate that it is eX-
tremely good.

Supervisors Get Annual
School Budget Estimates

The Prince Edward board of
supervisors was presented with
three possible school budgets at
its regular meeting Tuesday
Estimate number one totaled
S824.700 This was designed to
provide public schooling for
every child in the county. In
this budget was included 1896, 700
in county funds.
Estimate Ia is a budget for
"Educa tional Purposes" which
also asks 1896, 700 from county
funds. 1t shows the local cost
per pupil to be S111.94. The
number of pupils between the
ages of and 20 is 1888. Thus
the total county funds for opera
ticn would be 1878, 100, plus debt
service of $4,000. making a to-
tai local cost of 1896, 700.
Budgets / and la are identi-
cal in that they both estimate
the total cost of operation to be
1901 100. Also in both budgets is
S23 600 for debt service to amor
tie R. R. Motion High School,
making a total budget of
1924 700. The two are alike also
in that each estimates 1923 900
in funds from the state, Federal
and other sources.
Estimate number two is con-
sidered the realistic budget,
which would provide public
schools for 1000 pupils. This
would provide for an integrated
public c h IL. but recognizes
the fact that most of the white
children would continue to at
tend private schools. In a sur

school board, all but one Or two

Da niger OF Forest Fires
Reaches Critical Point
Don't Burn Any
Brush Until It
Rains, Is Plea
BY BILL WALL

I'VE are ask g area citizens
not to burn at all, until we have
a substantial rain" said May
rard stoadard, district forest
fire chief.
FCres. fires have been coming
at a rapid pace. and the Vir-
ginla Division o. Forestry Office
The Burning index indicates
that the forests are very vulner-
bic to fire al tie present time.
The Burning IndeX is measured
from one to 20a, ard is based on
wind velocity, moisture IN the
woods, and the nanber of days
since the last rain. For the past
week the index has been from
IS to 1870, and reached 40 late
yesterday afternoon as the winds
prang up. Anything over 30
requires a close watch" said r.
P. BrierIey. district forester,
and anything over so is serious.
rkis reading of 40 indicates an
especially dangerous situation"
on East Third street is a bee
hive Of activity. This reporter
started talking with Stoddard at
8 am. this morning, and there
were no fires out of control at
that time BY the time we fin
ished talking at 920 there was
one reported. Stoddard looked up
and shook his head, This is go
ing to be some day"
In asking area residents not
to burn at all, Stoddard pointed
out that this is a request. The
law provides that brush can be
burned from 4 pm. to midnight
Most OF our trouble has come
from legal fires that are getting
away" the forest fire chief said.
Usually the wind slows down
after 4 pm. and there is mois-
ture in the air, but this has not
been true for the past few
days. The outlook is for worse
weather and We are asking the
cooperation of everyone in the
ten county FarnVille district.
The biggest single forest fire
in the district in seven years
burned over 100 acres Tuesday
in LunenbuTg county. This was
started by a violation of the 4
pm. burning law Stoddard
pointed out, land a lot of good
timber and young pines were
destroyed. Seven years ago
there was a bigger fire, burning
over 500 acres in the Abilene
area.l
To give an idea of how diff
cult it is to fight a big forest
fire, Stoddard gave a brief case
history this one got out of hand
at noon. and it was 7 pm. that
night before it was brought
under control A crew Of men

white parents indicated they
would continue to send their
children to private schools if
public schools were reopened.)
This second estimate would
require $272,7OO in county funds.
The total budget would be S471,-
900, which would include the
county funds, plus $190.7OO in
state funds, $500 in federal
lunchroom funds, and $1,000 in
other funds. This budget esti-
mates operating costs will be
1923, 700. capital outlay S25, 900
and debt service S23, 800.
The submission of the budgets
by the school board is required
by state law. The budgets sub
mitted Tuesday are almost
identical to those submitted last
year to the board of supervisors.
The supervisors refused to ap-
prcpriate the funds last June as
they have since 1859.
The budgets were turned over
to a budget committee for study.
In other action, the board of
supervisors heard a report from
D. W. Paulette, Civil Defense
coordinator. The board author
lied a study of the possibility
of converting the basement of
the county jail into a civil de-
Tense control center.
John Mitchell. manager of the
Farmville Dress Company, APP

asked that work be done on the
road leading to the new location
of the dress factory. This will
