But they wouldn't let her 60
without a party. Friends, par
ents, fellow teachers, and stu
dents gathered at Comus Inn
under the sponsorship of the
school faculty and at a recep-
ton at the high school given
by the P.TA for the veteran
teacher.
Miss Virginia Gartrell, then
~ and fresh out of Sherwood
High School--one Of only two
in the county then--faced her
first pupils at Oakland Elemen-
tary, a oneroom school on Red
dick Road near Jacksonville.
There were rs students In
grades one through seven. And
one Of her pupils was Older than
the teacher.
When the Oakland school was
closed the next year, Virginia
moved on to another one-room
school house in Jacksonville, re-
manning there until it, too, was
closed in the move to consoli-
date the county schools. She
then came to Poolesyille School
to teach the fifth and sixth
grades, and continued there
after her marriage in 1925.
In 1880, Mrs. Hersperger took
leave to have her son, who is
now Army Major Webb Sellman
Hersperger, an ear, nose, and
throat specialist, stationed in
Georgia with his wife and two
daughters. Following her hus-
bands death, Mrs. Hersperger
took up her career again at
Bethesda Elementary in Janu-
airy, 1888. She was then living
in Poolesyille so welcomed the
chance the following September
to transfer to another one-room
school house In Comus. She re-
turned to teaching at Pooles-
vile when the building at
Comus was moved to the Pooles-
vile school site where 1t was
used to house the home arts
classes for many years.
Over the years, Mrs. Hers.
perger, In addition to raising
her son, keeping house, and
teaching, has managed to con
tinue her own education at var
ious institutions, including the
University Of Maryland, the
State Teachers College at Tow
son, George Washington and
Johns Hopkins Universities.
At Poolesyille, she taught re-
medal reading and coordinated
the elementary school program
Ia addition to teaching q regular
class. Finally in 1871 she be-
came director" of the elemen-
tary school, a title that arose
from the fact that until last
year Poolesylile School housed
ell grades, kindergarten through
twelfth and only the head Of
the high school rated the title
Of principal In December, 1860,
Mrs. Hersperger became princi-
pal Of the new PoolesWlle Pri-
mary School which next year

out that for the first time In her
long career she opened a school
instead of closing it.
To her the most notable
change in the county since that
opening day Of school in 1918 is
the tremendous growth in the
number Of people in recent
years. 1t seems just a short
while ago when the late DR..
Edwin w. Broome could hold a
meeting of all the teachers In
the county in one classroom and
Virginia Hersperger knew all of
them by name.
Following the teachings Of
DIR. Broome and his assistant,
Thomas w. Pyle, MRS. Hers
perger practices what they
preached in meeting the individ-
ual needs Of children. Her "open
door" policy is a real one as any
visitor to her office will soon
discover. Her children are free
to come at any time to read
their favorite stories to her and
show her their latest efforts in
writing compositions. She has
many samples Of these which
she is proud to read to anyone
who is interested. When she ex-
changes the principals office
for her cottage at the end Of
this month she hopes to keep
the door open to any of her
children that may need her.

NerC Line Expected to Boost
SiIper Spring Water Pressure

Relief from q low water pres
sure problem in some Silver
Spring areas was promised this
week by the Washington Subur-
ban Sanitary Commission.
A reinforcing line to boost the
pressure is expected to be
installed soon, according to a
spokesman for the WSSC.
Some apartment owners and
office building superintendent
have repeatedly noted weaker
water pressure on the higher
floors OF their structures.
a spokesman for the Silver
Spring Volunteer Fire Depart.
ment denied a report his com
pany had experienced difficulty
with low water pressure in
fighting the recent East Silver
Spring elementary Scnool blaze.
The new reinforcing line, how
ever, will greatly facilitate our
Job" he said.
A WSSC official said when the
new line is put into operation
there will be a slight discoIora-
ton Of the water. But it will be
only temporary and the water
will be perfectly acceptable for
drinking purposes, he said.
The new line will not provide
permanent relief, however, he
warned. As tall buildings are
erected at q rapid rate in fast
growing areas, the problem will
continue, he emphasized.

Winter Wheel
Eligible
FOR '63 Program

Farmers who have planted
their winter wheat are still
eligible to participate in the
1868 Wheat Sterilization pro-
gram, Fred Iversen, chairman
of the Richland Agricultural
Sterilization and Conservation
County commit zee, said today.
The chairman explained that
there had been questions on
this point and he wanted to
make it clear that the program
is open % all farmers who
have wheat allotments or
small farm bases. Farmers who
have already seeded more than
the acreage of wheat they
would be permitted to have If
participating in the stabiliza-
ZION program, could dispose of
excess acreage anytime prior
to July IL for winter wheat
and July 81 for spring wheat.
Signups to participate in the
1868 Wheat Sterilization pro-
gram are now being accepted
at the Asses County office,
Iversen said. This is also true
of the 1868 Feed Grain pro-
gram with the signup period
for both programs continuing
through March %.
The chairman emphasized
that participation in either pro-
gram is voluntary but that
only those growers who do sign
intentions to participate and
meet program requirements
will be eligible for diversion
and price support payments
and, in the case of barley anc
corn, price support. Wheat
growers will be eligible fol
price support on their whear
production if they comply with
farm allotments even though
they do not participate in the
sterilization program.
Producers who want to par
ticipate in the wheat stabilize
tion program must agree tt
reduce their wheat acreage b.
