A discussion on how to stimulate interest in attendance at the stockholders’ meeting led to the suggestion that the meeting next year would be fe<jt"TTred with a banquet. The report of Mrs. B. F. Bruce, cashier, was in the form of a comparison of the condition of the bank at the close of business December 31, 1948, with that of December 31, 1949. This report was received most favorably and on motion of D. D. Miller a vote of thanks was extended Mrs. Bruce and her associates, J. Rodes Brown, Jr., and Allen D. Johnson, with a commendation for their excellent" work of the year. Expressions of other stockholders present re-iterated the satisfaction and confidence created by the work of Mrs. Bruce and her associates.

The executive officers are: Mrs. B. F. Bruce, casher; J. Rodes Brown, Jr., assistant cashier; and Allen D. Johnson, assstant cashier. (Later in the evening, when the "shouting and the tumult” had died, etc., J. Rodes Brown, Jr., requested the following addition to the account of the meeting. In all fairness to Mrs. Bruce, it shoi Id be told that she tried to shut him up, but she was outnumbered when Mr. Biown unaided and abetted by Allen It. Johnson. "Be sure and print that Mrs. Bruce is cashier and Allen and I are janitors, lies broom-man and I'm mop-jockey. A. J. ‘Slaughter is our first assistant. And, don't lorget to say that we asked for raises and all three of us got the same an-wer, but we've got a plan for Mrs. Bruce to get the money and split it three ways.” During the giving of this information by Mr. Brown and Mr. Johnson, Mrs. Brice interrupted in vain. She may get the work out of that pair, but she surely has to take the teasing! It must agree with her, however, for she's as pretty as usual and her health doesn't seem impaired.)

And too much of a stranger to borrow. We issued today our promises to pay, And hoped to redeem on the morrow. I he day> rolled on, and weeks became years, But our coffers were empty still: < oin was so rare that our treasury quaked II a dollat should drop in the till. B t our taith that was in us was strong indeed, And our poverty well discerned And these little checks represented the pay That our suffering volunteers earned. We knew it had hardly a value in gold; ^ et as gold our soldiers received it. Jt gazed on our eyes with a promise to pay. And our patriot soldier's believed it. But our boys thought little of price or pay, Or the bills that were overdue. We knew that ft it brought bread today, 'Twas the best our poor country could do. Keep it, it tells our history over, From the birth of its dream to the last: Modest and born of the Angel Hope, Like the hope of success it passed.

Let’s listen to the final words of Mr. Link, the coach. “. . . and remember, I’d rather you’d lose and 'be good sports, than win and be bad svorts.” It’s nice to win games and it’s hard to lose them, but whatever the case, there’s always an opportunity to exhibit your sportsmanship. It is usually easy to be friendly when you win a game, but the test comes when you lose. That’s when it’s kind of hard not to excuse yourself by blaming the other team or the referee—“She pushed me’’; “those cheating referees, if it hadn’t been for them, we would have had the game TrT the bag!” Granted, it’s a hard test, but show your strength of character and take defeat with a smile—not a smile of defeat, bu,t a smile of determination to Ibe the winner next time. Don’t you feel like yelling “yippee”! “Ray! you’ve won! let. off some steam. You deserve to be happy for you probably flayed a hard game. But remember that the opposing players are human—they hated like the dickens to lose. Be friendly, pat ’em on the back, tell ’em they played a good game. Suppose you do happen to play a rough team who are not good sports, don’t try to rival their bad sportsmanship; control yourself and stay on the beam. As our coach often says “when you’re playing a game away from home, the people form their opin-' ion of Washington High, by your behavior.” In baseball or basketball play your hardest, whether winning or losing, and be good sports—true representatives of W.H.S. |_ An average freight locomotive when in read service consumes approximately a ton of coal for each seven miles of travel. Panthers Lose Double Header To Marshall On January 0 the school 1ms left Washington for Marshall, at 6:00. Everyone was in high spirit. Songs and cheers were given (luting the whole trip. At 7:15 they arrived at the Marshall High School, the girls went directly on the floor for warm-up. The game was hard fought, each team striving for the lead. At the h*alf M.H.S. was 3 points ahead. The last half of ‘.he game the Panthers worked hard for a comeback, bet Marshall finished up wth a victory of 24-18. After this let down, the Panther boys went onto'the floor wit!\ a stronger determination to win. Although they fought hard, tying the score at intervals during the game, they finally played out and M.H.S. took another victory of 43-32. Though the spirit of the Panthers was slightly broken, they have high hopes of making a full comeback when they meet Marshall again on their home court. “Food For Thought” Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not; and a sense of humor to console him for what he is. ¥ ¥ ¥ It is not so much what others do for us as what we do for them, that makes us love them.. —Elberta Wilson ¥ ¥ ¥ Always do right!

“Federal Aid To Education—” Warning local citizens tnat .federal aid to education could mean control of the public schools by Washington, William J. Bird, national affairs advisor of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, on Tuesday called for greater community and state participation in public school systems. Speaking over WCVA, Culpeper, at 7:15 Tuesday in the second of a series of eight broadcasts transcribed from Washington, D. and sponsored by the Culpeper Chamber of Commerce, JBird asked evterv citizen to do what he can to keep free the freedom of tnought and education in America. “Teachers and people like us everywhere, who are vitally interested in good education, have been told only part truths, 'Only one side of the question,” he said. “Even a national teachers’ organizaton announced last summer that it wasn’t interested in printing in its magazine any material against federal aid to education because it didn’t favor that side. “The United States stands apart from the nations of the world today in her approval and support of a system - of public schools. No nation ever before has provided so much education for her people at public expense. And the real measure of success can be laid at the door of local communities all over the land,” he exclaimed.. “Everyone knows we have some serious problems in our educational system' today. We need more classrooms, we ntjed more school buildings, we need more teachers. We need to increase feathers’ salaries. We need more facilities. But let’s not look to federal intervention to obtain the remedy to these needs,” be said. Bird said that one claim of the proponents of federal aid to education is that education snould re equalized between the states. But, he reported, in direct contradiction to this, the proponents would make lederal monies availaide to all states. Every state would receive a minimum of $5 per child per year whether it needs it or not. The speaker Pointed out that this offer was neing made as a political handcut, because proponents of fed eral aid realize that they couldn’t muster enough votes in Congress to pass the bill unl;ess they gave us some money to all states. “Another point is being circulated that only $300-million federal dollars are needed at present for our schools. Now, if these proponents can just get the principle of federal aid established, they admit that .they will soon ask Congress to appropriate as m, eh as $2-hillion for, educational expenditures. “The bill restricts use of the money for school construction, and thereby introduces one of the fust controls of federal government— tnat the money must be used for those purposes,” he said. Saying that the entire federal aid proposal has been based upon the faulty assumption that local states cannot afford to finance their own schools. Bird called upon the individual communities and states to face up to the problem of educaton, instead of facing Washington for funds. “Since the war, every state has been spending .more money for education than ever before,” he reported. "The state of Tennessee recently introduced a general sales tax of which 70 per cent is going to schools. Alabama earmarked a 1 per cent income tax to schools. Florida recently added another f50-mlilion to its schools system. Every state in the south increase*) its expenditures for education by at least $5-million in 1947-48. “Yet, there is plenty of room for imp'Kpvement, and there’s lots of state aid that still can be developed. In 1940, lfi states were spending more than 3 per cent of their income on education. Today there is no state spending more than 3 per cent. Yet incomes, the ability to pay, have increased as much as SO per cent in .some states to over 300 per cent in others. Not a state in the nation today is spending as large a percentage of its income on education as it did before the war. "It is a self-evident fact that our states ha\ e b 8 t h the ability and th*e willingness, as exemplified bv action of state legislatures this year, to increase educational expondit res," /Bipd said. “So 1 am wondering, just who it is at the federal level that can or should determine what our ------ March of DIMES Begins Monday, January 16 Give Generously !

Let’s make up our minds that education is an investment in people; that education is our greatest opportunity for economic, social and spiritual fulfillment; that education needs money; that the better- teachers must ha\ e higher pay; that education is a local and state function and that every state should strengthen its own administration so that the people of that state may more fully realize their their opportunities.

Wirtz, and Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Moffett, Jr. Outlook For 1950 Fewer chickens raised, continued high egg production, and poultry meat production at a states quo—that’s the probable outlook for 1950’s poultry farmer. Dr. Harry Love, head of the agricultural economics department at V.P.I., says prices received by farmers for eggs and poultry meat probably will average less than in 1949. As a result, the gross farm value of poultry and egg products will decline. Egg production during toe first six to eight months of 1950 likely will be from three to four per cent above the same period in 1949. Egg prices in the first half of 1950 may be 10 'o 15 per cent below those of 1949 unless support prices prevent the drop. S pports seem unlikely, since they are discretionary between. 0 and 90 per cent of parity. The supply of broilers, plus frozen poultry, likely will be enough to keep prices from rising much during the first three to four months of 1950. If egg _ prices slip as expected, enough laying hens may be moving to market as culls by March and April to keep poultry meat prices from rising during spring and early summer. Broiler production in the first lew months of the year probably will be a record level, and for the entire year likely will average abo t as in 1949. 1 urkey production will be %letermined to a huge extent by what happens to the rest of the 1949 crop. If prices continue strong the rest of the season, there piobably will be an increase in turkey numbers in 1950. Otherwise—aboyt the same. Turkeys, like eggs and broilers, are in t.ie group of non-basic eonymodities and without mandatory supports. Leaders To Meet Tentative dates have been announced for a series of 14 meetings to be held this month for vegetable gardening and poultry leaders in Virginia home demonstration clubs. *, Harry L. Moore, head of the V.P.I. poultry department, or some member of his staff, will conduct the poultry training. Vegetable gardening training will lie conducted by F. H. Scott, assstant horticulturist at V.P.I. Meetings to include both poultry and gardening instruction will be held: Today, January 12, at Charlottesville; Jan aiy IS, Halifax: January 19, Charlotte Court House; and Januayr 20, Appamattox. Meetings to be held for vegetable gardening leaders only are scheduled for: January 13, Warrenton; January 24, Harrisonburg; January 27, Winchester; and January 31, Clintwood. New Plymouth Car Is On Display Today The 1950 Pylmouth ear, with important styling changes and improvements for safety and riding comfort, .will go on disvlay at Russell Bros, in Flint Hill today, January 12. There are new lines in the ' silhouette which give the new Plymouth g longer, lower, more streamlined appearance.

Agent Knitwear Make Oreri Attractive comfortable clothes' for the youngsters in the family often may be fashioned from old or worn knit garments, discarded by their Riders, clothing specialists of' the U. S. Department of Agriculture say. As proof, they offer an illustrated booklet, entitled “Knitwear .Make Overs” which shows many photographs of young garments made from such frequently discarded items as men's sweaters damaged by moths, worn cotton knit shirts, old jersey dresses, and even long legged underwear. This booklet is free on request to the U. S. Dept, of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. PI ays u its and pajamas f o r youngsters; nightgowns, jackets and underwear for babies; a twopiece suit for a little lad and knit coat and smocked dress for a very young lady are among the made over clothes shown on these pages. Now that the busy holidays are over many mothers have time for make-over jobs that provide needed clothes at little or no expense. The possibilities of old knit garments frequently are overlooked, the specialists say, because the home seamstress fears that the goods will ravel when cut. Many knit goods do not ravel, they say, and if they do, it is easy to “finish edges to prevent it. “Knitwear Makeovers ’ shows not only garments for children in the family but jackets, caps, mittens, socks and slippers for older members. Even scraps of knit goods may be used to good advantage, the booklet shows. Reflecting Roof A shiny insulated roof reflects heat from the sun and not only helps keep the house cool * in summer but helps prevent loss of heat from the house in winter, engineers of the D. S. Dept, of Agriculture say. They have tound_tiiis to be true of shiny all minum roofs, for example. Although such a roof does not admit the heat of the sun to help warm the house in winter, less heat escapes fiom within the house with a net saving in fuel. 1 his is because tne reflective insulation turns back inside heat. Time Money and Food Very careful planning of family meals is essential for the homemaker whose time and money both are limited, say family economists of the U. S. Dept, of Agriculture. Budget meals are more difficult for women with jobs or with small children than those with ample time for mark(See H. D. TIPS, page S.)

LURAY, VIRGINIA The stile (left) at the north entrance of historic “Greenfield,*’ old county home. “.Greenfield" is situated between Washington' and Sperry\ i 11 e on the Lee Highway, one mile south of Washington, amidst the fertile fields of this lovely valley in a beautifil grove which is sheltered 'bv the grand<Air of the Blue Ridge Mountains. This palat ini ancestral home of the Brownings, is a Virginia home famed for generations for its notable gatherings and unbounded hospitality, and which presided over by Mrs. J. Armistead Lewis, widow of the late Jahn A. Browning, Jr., with her exceptional queenly grace, not only equals but surpasses its\erstwnile prestige. The old stile at the north entrance, is still in a good state of preservation. There was originally a stile at both the front and side entrances. The palings in the fence around the yard are the original ones. They are hand cut and also in a good state of preservation. This stile is a gentle reminder of those good old days when nearly every one rode horse back, and the ladies could ride up to ttye stila, dismount anti throw the reins over the posts. Neighbors and friends came on horse back to engage in the long to be remembered dances, the minuet and the Virginia Reel, for which “Gfeenfield” was famous. The original grant for “Greenfield" dated in June 1735, and signed by Lord Fairfax, hangs on the walls of the present mansion as the old "Greenfield” manson was destroyed by (ire in 1735and was rebuilt in 1820 by Willis Browning, grandfather of the late John Armistead Browning, Jr., who purchased the handsome carved mahogany furniture from A. T. Stuart and Company, of New York City, in 1853, and presented it to his son, .John Armistead Browning, Sr., as a bridal present. The present mansion is built of bricks (painted white) which were made by slaves on tie estate. John Armistead Biowning.

The old 'family burying mound at “(j reenfield" holds the remains of John Armistead Browning. Sr., those of Ins parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents. all of whom lived and died on this notable country estate. A great-gi anHmother, Sara Anne I Ruln*rts«>n1 White’s family Biiile is one of the cherished heirlooms of “Greenfield" and also on its walls can he seen the ancestral portraits of the Brownings, Willises, Cartels, and Faint. leroys, many from the brushes of great artists. On October lfi, 1915, John A. Browning, Jr., married Elizabeth Frances Boyd, a daughter of Dr. George W. and Clara R. Boyd, of Washington, D. C., the former of whom is deceased and the latter a resident of Washington, D. C. John A. Browning, Jr., died February 22, 1929, and “Greenfield” is now owned and operated by his widow, Elizabeth Frances Boyd Browning Lewis. In April 1945 Mrs. John Armistead Browning married John Armistead Lewis of “Cleve”, King George County, Va. Mr. Lewis is the nephew of Mrs. Lewis’ former husband and is the son of Belle Browjiing of *‘Greeiffield” an<^ -DangyfieltL Lewis of “Cl^e”. About the'yea* lboo Ashby taught school at “Green- - field.” Among the children at; tending her classes were Charlie, Belle and Bessie Browning and Emma and Ada E^stham. About two miles from “Greenfield” at “San Jacinto”, R. R. Henry taught school for Archilles Murat Willis, great uncle of the Browning children. ' Mr. Henry met Miss Lucy Ashby at “Greenfield”, which resulted in their subsequent marriage in the parlor of that mansion. Mr. Henry j,afterwards became Major Henry and moved with his wife to Tazewell, where he became a successful and distinguished lawyer. After that period a similar school at “Greenfield” was taught by Miss Savilla Denton, of Culpeper. Her students were Fannie Lewis, John, (the late Justice • George L. Browning) and Willis Browning, Charles W. ^Warden and Edward If. Green. „ The third school at “Green field” was taught by Mr. Lewis F. Hite, wiio is now minister in the Sweden Borgian faith, and a teacher in one of the institutes of learning in Massachusetts.' The students were the same as those taught by Miss Denton. Charles Browning, who married Mary Wade Strother, was horn in 174!) and died in 18d!». He lived at “Greenfield” (then in Culpeper County) and was Captain of the Virginia line during the Revolutionary War. ^ John Armistead White, a direct ancestor of the husband of the present owner of “Greenfield” was a major in the Revolutionary War and tqok part in the actions at Valley Forge and Yorktown. At “Greenfield” when the Federal soldiers robbed the meat house — the hams and shoulders having been treated with dark molasses and black pepper wer£ left, as they thought the meat had been poisoned. The soldiers burned some of the outbuildings at “Greenfield.” While the buildings were burning, Mrs. John A. Browning, the mother of nine children, was weepinjj, her fiveyear-old daughter, Mary Landon, tried to comfort her by saying, “Mama, they can’t burn Heaven.” A poem by this title was written by John M. Patton, in memory of the little girl, who died at the age of six. This magnificent old mansion, with its large rooms and handsome mantels, is replete with historic relics of great value and association. In the upper room is a bed which was occupied during the war between the states by General Butler of South Carolina, while a guest at “Greenfield”, and later on Colonel John S. Mosby, was its occupant ’ for three weeks. Tlie late Justice George L. Browning of Orange a former member of the .Virginia Supreme Court was tile last survivor of the Brownings born at “Greenfield." He was recognized throughout Virginia for his outstanding legal ability and was referred to by all who knew him as one of the charming Christian gentlemen of o r Southland. The information for this article was obtained from Mrs. J. Armistead Lewis, and the late Colonel Carroll Menefee of Sperryville, in a research made by Mrs. Margaret Atkins Campbell, a former employee of the Works Progress Administration of Virginia Historical Inventory.

Directory Says Truman Is 33rd President The question of whether President Truman is the 32ml or 33rd president of the United States has been settled as far as the Congressional Directory is concerned. He’s Xo. 33, according to the new edition of Congress’ otficial Utiiide book, issued yesterday. For about the [last 10 years, t.ie Diieetory has been taytrine .Mi. Truman with \o. 32. Before that, it neatly skirted the problem by not numbering the presidents at all, an inspection of early i-sues showed. It was tirover Cleveland who started, the conf.sion, around wlneh a spirited controversy iias been can led on for the last f>7 years. President Cleveland served split terms, the tirst. from 188’> to 18S'.), the second from 18113 to 1807. Until the new edition, the Directory counted e.im as only one President—Xo. 22. s\t the top of the list there was a note saying the .figures indicated the number it different prisons who ha\'e served as President. In the new edition, however, the note is deleted, and Mr. Cleveland, with his split terms, is listed as heiiiKt President Xo. 22 and President No. 24. Proceeding alonsr the numerical line, this makes Mr. Truman Presdent Xo. 33. Janus L. Harrison, staff director of the Joint Committee on Printing, which turns out the Congressional Directory, said his staff had a meeting a while back and came to the conclusion the Directory probably was the only official or general publication that hadn’t gotten into line on calling Mr. Trumait No. 33. So recommendations were submitted to the joint committee, and it was decided to concede the point. H. D. Tips (Continued from page 5.) eting and cooking. The housewife who has time to compare prices from store to store, watch for and take advantage of price specials, and go to market when fresh supplies are stocked usually can buy more thriftily than the one who shops in a hurry on the way home from work, or has her groceries delivered. Also the women who can do their own baking and can prepare economical dishes requiring long cooking often have the advantage over hte ones who must choose, wady prepared and quick cooking foods. Saring Time and Money Compare the cost of different processed foods . . . canned, frozen and dried . . . with fresh foods. If the price difference is largo, it may pay to cook some of those foods the night before, store them in the refrigerator and reheat for ,-erving. During the evening a stew, pot roast or soup may simmer o; beans bake slowly while the housewife is occupied in other ways. Hakim: for the week may he done over the w\ok end, if typos ol cookies, lakes, or bread ate tdtosen which keep well. Those made with dried fr- it! blown sugar, molasses or honey do not dry out as rapidly as others. ■». Though vegetables usually should not be cooked ahead and reheated because of loss of flav or and nutritive value, time may be saved by washing, trimming, and preparing fresh Vegetables for cooking in advance, if they can be kept properly covered am refrigerated.
