WINCHESTER EVENING STAR Friday, January 24, 1973 Burial of LBJ Reflected the Things He Cared About STONEWALL, Tex. (AP) The burial of former President Lyndon B. Johnson reflected the things he cared about: religious solemnity, military pageantry, deep-felt oratory and the gathering of good friends. In near-freezing weather Thursday afternoon, a crowd estimated at 10,000 gathered outside a waist-high stone fence to get a better look at the 50- minute ceremony which took place in the family cemetery on the LBJ Ranch. Hundreds of others stood across the Pedernales River to listen as the amplified eulogies of evangelist Billy Graham and former Texas Gov.

John B. Connally echoed across the rain dampened pasture. "He loved this hill country," said the Rev. Dr. Graham, resplendent in a dark robe edged near the neck in red.

The evangelist quoted the for- Fond Memories Mrs. Lyndon B. Johnson looks down at the services for him at the family cemetery' on casket of her husband during graveside the LBJ Ranch yesterday. (APWirephoto) Federal Funds Provide Equipment for Hampshire The Elementary and Secondary Education Act called ESEA (Title I) has provided $21 million annually to the 55 counties of West Virginia. Hampshire County's share of these funds in 1972 was $161,738 and so far the 1973 allotment has been $137,477.

Participating schools in Hampshire County are chosen on the basis of percentage of low income families and other federal qualifications. Selection of pupils is based upon need test data, teacher judgement and inability to maintain normal grade level. SERVICES ARE being provided in the following qualified schools: Grassy Lick with 37 qualified pupils, Slanesville with 83, Springfield Green Springs with 113, Hampshire High School with 56, Romney Junior High with 100, Romney Elementary with 100, and Augusta has 15 in Special Education. The program in progress in Hampshire County provides for Special Education in Romney Elementary, Slanesville and Augusta Schools. New improved reading programs conducted by trained aides under the supervision of a reading specialist have been started in Romney Elementary and Junior High Schools.

Health services, both dental and physical, are supervised by a trained nurse and given to all qualified children whose parents give permission and attend a qualified school. Home-School Visitors work with the principals, attendance director and the nurse in problems involving the home and parents with the school. THE ADDITIONAL new teacher aides hired in Hampshire County this year through the regular ESEA Title I Program and the Migrant Program, another part of Title were recommended by the State Directors and Regional Specialist.

The Hampshire County Migrant Children Program, under ESEA Title is to assist the Migrant Child that comes with his parents to harvest crops in the fall and is conducted in cooperation with many other states.

This program provided $42,817 in aid to these children through Hampshire County Schools in 1972. Part of the 1971 Migrant funds were used to purchase a new mobile van to be used in the fall at the migrant camps for learning experiences and a mobile library, to show movies. At the close of the Migrant Children's Program the van can then be moved to a Hampshire County School to relieve overcrowding or to conduct special programs as needed. At present the van is being used at Capon Bridge to house the Special Education Class. A BUILDING attached to the Augusta School, paid for by the Migrant Program, is used as a Child Development Center during the migrant season and by the Hampshire County Early Childhood Program for the remainder of the school year.

Migrant children are given remedial services by teachers and tutorial aides employed by this program. A nurse and home- school visitor arranges for dental and physical examinations, also food and clothing, and assist with many family problems that are school connected. The Migrant Children Program for 1972 will purchase a 16- passenger school bus to be delivered before the end of this month. This equipment will be used to transport migrant children to the Child Development Center for the program duration. But Hampshire County Schools will gain the use of the bus for the major part of the school year for the Early Childhood Program or a more pressing need.

mer president as saying, "I love this country where people know when you are sick, love you while you are alive, and miss you when you die." Johnson, 64, was fatally stricken with a heart attack at the ranch Monday afternoon. He had had major heart attacks in 1955 and 1972. His grave, filled at dark after the crowd had dispersed on foot and in buses and cars, was guarded throughout the night by four military policemen and two Secret Service agents, who sat in a car to avoid the cold. Mrs. Johnson and the families of her two married daughters, Lynda and Luci, visited with friends afterwards at the ranch house, just up a narrow park road from the cemetery.

Johnson's body was borne back to the family cemetery after funeral services at the National City Christian Church in Washington, the capital's last farewell to the man who had served in the U.S. House and U.S. Senate and as vice president and president. Johnson's body was flown back from Washington to Bergstrom Air Force Base, near Austin, aboard the big White House jet on which Johnson was sworn in as president Nov. 22, 1963, shortly after John F.

Kennedy was assassinated. A motorcade carried the body 65 miles to the cemetery, making the final turn down the park road that sweeps across the Pedernales and passes close to the ranch house before cutting back across the river. A group of school children held high a sign saying, "May Mr. Johnson rest in peace." Bells chimed at the Trinity Lutheran Church, almost directly across the river from the cemetery, as family members made their way to the folding chairs near the casket. To their left was a head-high cross of white crysanthemums, leaning against one of the giant oak trees in the cemetery.

Mrs. Johnson sat between her daughters, whose husbands helped to hold their small children in their laps during the services. There were no tears. Mrs. Johnson had a set, wan smile, and Lynda smiled on occasion and talked to her mother, but once it appeared that the daughter had to hold back the tears.

Connally's eyes were red-l dened by the time Anita Bryant' finished singing the Battle Hymn of the Republic. But he brightened later and talked with friends who were at the services. Military pallbearers who had Many Doubt Effectiveness of Viet Cease-Fire Supervision WASHINGTON (AP) "If we couldn't keep track of North Vietnamese infiltration with all the people and equipment we used, how is the international commission going to do it with so much less?" The Army officer asking this question expressed the disbelief of many U.S. military professionals about the effectiveness of the machinery being set up to supervise the Vietnam fire. Behind them are years of frustration trying to cope with a flow of North Vietnamese infiltrators into South Vietnam.

Some officers recall there were 54 Green Beret camps spread all along the border; there were various kinds of exotic sensors and night-vision devices, and still the Americans never really could control infiltration. The new International Control Commission, made up of Canadians, Poles, Hungarians and Indonesians, will have six teams posted at wide intervals along the hundreds of miles of South Vietnam's border with Cambodia and Laos and the Demilitarized Zone separating North and South Vietnam. Another seven teams will be tabbed for duty at additional inland points of entry to be sen later. Still another seven teams, which will be concerned with return of prisoners for the first 60 days of the cease-fire, could be reassigned after that time to inland border surveillance. That would add up to a possible 20 teams, most of them numbering eight men each, to watch over a long inland border masked to a large extent by deep jungle.

50-Year Members To Be Honored Sunday morning, seven men who have been members of the Golden Rule Bible Class for more than 50 years will be honored with a special program. The Love Chorus of Shenandoah Conservatory of Music will bring special music and Rev. Robert Donnelly will teach the lesson. Marvin Hutchinson, president, will conduct the special ceremony for those observing their golden anniversary of membership in this men's class of the Braddock Street United Methodist Church.

Over-all, the international commission will number 1,160 officers and men.

But about half will be at headquarters keeping records. Supplementing the international group will be a temporary joint military commission made up of representatives of the United States, North Vietnam, the South Vietnamese and the Viet Cong. After U.S. troops are withdrawn and all prisoners exchanged within 60 days, this four party group will disappear and a smaller commission composed only of military men Ski Club Plans Trip on Feb. 3 The Shenandoah Valley Ski Club will hold a ski trip to Seven Springs on Feb.

from the rival Vietnamese sides will replace it. This joint-Vietnamese military commission, which is supposed to conduct preliminary investigations of truce violations, will also have 26 small teams spread throughout South Vietnam. The peace agreement and its many implementing documents are silent on any enforcement authority for the international commission or the joint military commission. Their powers are "to deter and detect violations to carry out necessary observations and investigations," and to be "a forum to settle differences."

Johnson. She kissed it and turned slowly away. Gen. William C. Westmoreland, Johnson's chief of staff and also his commander in Vietnam, put a wreath of red and white carnations in place on behalf of President Nixon.

In a deviation from his text, the Rev. Dr. Graham had said of Johnson, "I never heard him criticize President Nixon one time, in private or public, after he left the White House. "He was a mountain of a man with a whirlwind for a heart."
