Rappahannock News, February 16, 1950

VOL. 1—NO. 16_,_WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1950 $2.00 Per Year No Decision Reached On Consolidating County Schools No definite decisions were made by the approximately 400 people who assembled in Washington High School auditorium last evening to hear a series of recommendations and to conduct a public discussion of what can be done to better the schools of Rappahannock county. Present with the school board and Superintendent Q. D. Casque were visiting members of the committee which was invited several years ago to make recommendations to the county on educational improvement. These included R. Claude Graham, director, division of research and planning, Alfred L. Wingo, supervisor of research, Mr. Bishop, assistant supervisor of school building, Mr. Wimbish, transportation, and W. T. W’oodson, superintendent of Fairfax schools. The purpose of the meeting ■was stated by Mr. Graham who spoke sincerely and calmly, stating the altruistic motVes of the meeting. He emphasised that this committee was seeking to serve the best interests of the county in the long run, and stressed the fact that the welfare of the county is largely invested in the children. He ^then briefly outliiled the recommendations for the county made several years ago; namely: four primary schools, Amissville, Washington, Flint Hill, Sperryville; three elementary schools, Washington, Flint Hill, and Sperryville; and one high school. He continued his explanation by saying that after the tour Wednesday of the inspection of Sperryville, the 20 a»res owned by the county on Route 211 between Sperryville and Washington, and Washington school, he stated that the views of the former recommendations were still . the best policy. However, the committee recognized the possibilities of local limitations. Advantages of consolidation were presented: a wider variety of classes offered in a broader curriculum; additional advantages in science classes, library facilities, agriculture, home economics, and commercial departments. Questions following the recommenrlfvl plan of four primary, three elementary, and one high school proved that such a plan would 'run in excess of $225,000 ana tne cost was prohibitive. Capt. J. P. Cook requested public statements of the possibility of establishing this expensive plan, and Dr. Snead answered with a ready “No. The condition is ideal, we all know', hut there is no money to finance it.” C, W. Keyser voiced the opinion that what was needed was better teachers, not better buildings. Several times duriqg the early portion of the meeting questions ran on a tangent to the subject at discussion. Finally, Mrs. E. T. Cox asked about the accredited rating of the two existing high schools. Mr. Gasque answered the questions with direct “yes” and “no” and then explained that the only difference between “accredited” and “certified” was a matter of the number of pupils. One high school had more than 75, it is called “accredited”; one has less than 75, it is called “certified.” There is no other difference in rating of quality of instruction, nor future acceptance of credits in colleges. W. H. Massie, Jr., suggested the moving of the Sperryville high school pupils to Washington and consolidate into one. Two young men in. rapid succession rose to state that they had understood the purpose of * "the meeting was to decide Where to locate the consolidate^ high school. The latter of the two felt that the citizens should have the right tS choose the location. W. F. Moffett, Jr., asked what recommendations the school board thought best. Chairman Galley Smith replied to this with the statement that there were no funds for any plans. J. W. (Fletcher requested a school board opinion on consolidation—what it should be, and whether there should be a new 'building or use the old ones. Dr. John P. Snead replied to this in- a carefully phrased and concise suggestion. The purpose of the board, he sdid, was to give the children of the county as many advantages as possible in the Tnost economical way possible. He recommended consolidation at once, with the people deciding (See SCHOOL, page 8.) .* •MMirtftSti**’?*• ’.A -mo- , "»»«"• '• Dr. J. G.

B. Winfrey, from Mr. Thomas T. Hamilton, director of secondary education, State Board of Education, Richmond, Sperryville High School has been placed on the certified list of Virginia high schools. According to Mr. Hamilton’s letter no school enrolling fewer than 75 pupils can be accredited by the State Department of Edi cation. A high school employing at least three fulltime teachers and enrolling 50 or more pupils is classified certified. This accounts for the classification of Spen’yville High School being changed from accredited to certified. Graduates of . certified high schools are accepted for entrance to colleges in Virginia on the same basis as graduates from an accredited school. P.-T.A.

Wiener Purchases Flint Hill Property Capt. William Wiener, retired army officer, formerly of Bridgewater, is a new property owqei in Rappahannock county and a new member of the Rappahannock Hunt. W. A. Miller, local broker, reported the sale of four and a half acres of the R. Frank Wood property, next the Baptist parsonage and Woodfs Packing in Flint Hill. The sale was for Forest T. Taylor, of Staunton, to Captain "Wiener. Mr. Miller asked the captain how much family he had and the reply war, “two horses and a dog.” At present the horses are being kept at Bill Williams’ stables and the dog is being kept safe with a friend because of the danger from the highway.

Meats grown in Rappahannock, processed in a meat plant partially owned by Rappahannock farmers,, and then offered to Rappahannock consumers hy Rappahannock stores. While we don’t kuow howmany of our stores are'handling' Shen-Valley brands and don’t mean to be slighting anyone, we do know that Lea Bros, at Washington, James Atkins at Sperryville, and Lyle Rector at Flint Hill have it—try it. And. . .well, what do you know—in popped some more news about ShenValley. The first week in February they sold 302,000 pounds of products, killed 1167 head of hogs and 32 head of cattie; manufactured 10,000 pounds of sausage and 25,000 pounds I of sliced bacon. / Roll on, wheels of progress, roll on! Just recenty the county agent and Bill Saville, the assistant agent along with 48 other agents and specialists spent a day at Shen-Valley. We saw a type demonstration in hogs on foot, grading demonstration in the carcass followed by a cutting demonstration. What did it all add up to? Well the hogs weighed the same on foot but one graded top and the other graded bottom—in the end the top grade hog produced cuts worth $33.43 and the low grade frog produced cuts worth $36.92, proving that all hogs weighing the same are not of the same , value. Conclusion, Mr. Farmer? Produce quality and you get paid for it at Shen-Valley. Quality can be had throughproper breeding and feeding. Coming to Washington one night last weel? and as I walked to the car from my home, I noticed the heavens reddened over Turkey Mountain. As I approached Washington I could tell the fire was over and beyond Pine Knot. N’o siren had been heard— could hardly bo a home or a building—then the burning hillsides came in view! The broomsedge fires have started again and so I was reminded of a poem road recently which had impressed me.

Rappahannock News Published Thursday Morning at Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia iDial Washington 2851 LUCY CATHERINE BOWIE Publisher Entered as second-class mail matter at the post office at Washington, Virginia. Subscription:_ $2.00 a year America Of Yesterday (by Kate Flint Perry) The outstanding event portraying the gTeatness of America’s past, was the Yorktown Sesquicentennial, which was held in October of 1931, marking the 150th anniversary of the surrender of Cornwallis. This was the greatest .historical event ever staged upon American soil. The pages of history were rolled back and Colonial Virginia was presented to representatives of almost every nation upon the earth. So real was all of this that the echo of the voice of Patrick Henry was ever present. You remember how he spoke for the people in the famous Parson’s Case. And again when he spoke . . . and vehemently . against that law passed by the King which said that the Colonists must liuy "stamps from England. These' stamps to be placed on all newspapers, published books and all important documents. Henry declared that the right to tax Virginia did not belong to the King but to Virginia’s •own legislative body—the House i f Burgesses. All history scholars remember this. They remember . too, that Henry so impressed the people about this taxation without representation that he sounded the clarion call which brought upon the stage of action the soldiers of 1775. And it is to their memory and their deeds of valor that the U. S. and other nations still look to Ycirktown as the cradle of American history.' Ever present in that great pageant of October 1931 was the spirit of the men of ’75 marching cn the same old battle fields. Marching with soldiers who had cast aside the tragedies of former cavs . . . Yet marching on a soil already made sacred by the blood < f other years. The old ragged uniforms and the old torn hat had been replaced by military splendor. And hunger and nakedness were only a memory. Even in our minds at this moment we can follow them on to the plains of Bunker Hill . . . On to Princeton and Brandywine. Then to Valley Fodge and suffer with them there as they leave their footprints of blood upon the snow. Molly Pitcher and Monmouth Now the march is on to Monmouth C. H. and we remember how Washington made every effort to clear the women out of the army and to keep them from foJlowing from place to jdace- To do this he gave orders that none of them should be allowed to ride in the wagons’ . . . thinking that the blazing sun would discourage them . . . but he didn’t know women! For on a hot day in June 1778 a woman made Monmouth C. H. famous. During that terrible battle — of which history records—an artilleryman was shot at his post. His wife—Molly Pitcher—while bringing water to her husband from a spring—saw him fall and heard the commander ordey the machinery from the field. Quickly dropping the pail she ran to the cannon—seized the rammer—and with skill and courage . performed her husband’s duty! From that day on she was called “Major Molly" and Congress voted her a Sergeant's commission with half pay for life. After this battle and the defeat of the English the war was practically over in the northern states. And the next battle ground was in South Carolina and Georgia. 'Nothing less than a George Washington and a Molly Pitcher could have inspired soldiers to fight as they did at the battle of Cowpens. Col. William A. Washington—in a personal combat in this battle, wounded JTarleton. Months afterward this British officer while conversing with a witty American woman, sneeringly said “That William Washington is very illiterate. I am told that he cannot write his name.” . . . “Ah Colonel” she replied, “You bear evidence that he can make his mrak.” As for George Washington — and the part he played in this war—we believe that he saw the end of the war at its very beginning. For his very first moves indicated it. He impressed friend anti foe alike that he intended to center every effort on New York and there form his chief attack. In reality Virginia had always been his goal. His letters which were captured by the British were so misleading as to make it impossible for them to concentrate on any special place. And history tells us that Gen. Clinton remained in New York opposing HZgyster FIELDTESTEO FERTILIZERS , Guarantees.... 1—To use only the finest raw materials and \ conditioning agents. | 2—To make only one quality of fertilizer . . . the best that 65 years of laboratory research | factory experience and field testing can produce. * . ► All ROYSTER FERTILIZER Is Top Quality ' ^ Ask for Special Factory to Farm Prices ^ • ^ FOR SALE BY \ i Triplett Milling Co. x 1 | DIAL 8522 CULPEPER, VA. 1 "CAN i CUT THE COST OF MY AUTO INSURANCE?"

The Amissville club met at the home of Mrs. Charlie Smith, Mrs. Joe Hitt, president of the Amissville club presided over the meeting. Final plans were made for the show and dance to be sponsored by the club on February 17. A good reading list was given out to the members, giving them suggestions as to what good books should be read during the year. Great interest was shown in the forthcoming “Floor Sanding” demonstration to be held in the county. Then an excellent demonstration on “How to Make M rtha Washington Candy," was given by Mrs. Jessie Rowzie. The agent gave a demonstration on two other types of candy that are simple and easy to make. One more tray was stenciled by a club member. The meeting adjourned after the serving of refreshments by the hostess and the tasting of the products made at the meeting. Woodville Home Demonstration club met at the home of Mrs. R. M. Johnson. This club really turned out the goods—eight trays were stenciled, two table cloths, eight place mats and a pillow case and sheet. Business was taken up first. Interest was also shown by the club in the forthcoming floor sanding demonstration. Some very excellent timely information was given. The good reading list was passed around, and, accomplishments for the year were discussed. It was decided to have an extra meeting next month, at the home of Mrs. Clarence Johnson, and, re-upholster a sofa. r Washington, leaving Cornwallis unprotected at Yorktowjk And before he realized what was taking place . . . Washington by a stroke of genius slipped away with his army and was on the way to Virginia. By late September he had his American and French armies at Yorktown and had set the stage for the final scene. You know .the rest: Cornwallis saw that he had been outgeneraled so he submitted to the inevitable leaving America to rejoice—not that a foe had fallen—but that a new nation hail been born at Yorktown. To have enacted—Tn this pageant in 1931—scenes and events which took place so many years ago and to have brought to light the real truths of history and thecaliber of the men who made this history—makes us stop and wonoer. \\ under what is happening to America in this year of 1950 We know there are tho-e with*n our borders greedy enough—disloyal enough to sell to enemy nations the tilings that, have kept America democratic . . . The things that no man who i- a man would sell. We know, too, that there are organizations and groups working in such a manner t’at even the best Americans are unable to detect the : ndercurctit of socialism. 1! a message could come to us today from Washington anti toe men who followed him to Yorktown . . . we know that message '■’■'ould be, “America—wake up!" Rob Peter To Pay Paul This ■■ the first of what Mra. Elisabeth Buntin, Supt. of Welfare, hopes will be a aeries of articles designed to acquaint the people of Rappahannock with their public assistance program. Most people know what “robbing Peter to pay Paul" means. A proposal made recently to, cut the public welfare budget in or<fer to furnish money for a health department would be doing just this. Most people realize the benefits to be obtained from a health department and the welfare personnel would be the last to condemn a program which they see the need for almost daily in their contacts with county residents. We agreee that in some way the money should be found to establish a health unit; in the first place, th^ “deal" we would make in getting a program for $1800 which usually costs a county at least $3000 is too good to lose, and then the prospect of our people being healthier and happier and the county 'being a better place to live is wonderful to think about. We think it’s a pretty good place to live right now, but any community needs progress. However, we want to point out that you can’t rob one program to give to another. The health department’s success in eradicating disease and building healthier citizens will depend to a large extent on the help the welfare department can give them in the way of providing the money with which families can buy essential foods and medicines. For most of the health unit’s work will lie with the families who are on the borderline economically or actually receiving assistance. Families... with adequate incomes c..n afford medical care and good food. Of course there is a relation between their wellbeing and the well-being of the jMMjitri emails. rur une tiling, one cannot look down the hill and see poverty and disease and be completely happy with his own cozy home and full stomach. So a health unit will benefit everyone rich or poor. Health depends on minimum essentials—enough to eat, enough to wear, and proper housing. Any physician or nurse will agree that while medical help is of much benefit, it is no substitute for the essentials listed above. Only through welfare funds can the essentials be furnished to those who need them. Counties establishing health departments have found that during the first few years of operation, the welfare department’s case load increased. The explanation is simple. The health department uncovered more needy cases which somehow had escaped detection before; thus, there were more reqrests for help and more aid given by the welfare offfte both in the way of service and financial assistance. Eventually the close co-operation between ti(e two agencies will pay off. Healthier people mean more resourceful people, better able to help themselves, to hold jobs, to support aged parents, to bring up. their families decently. We hope there will bo Ie-S truancy, less juvenile delinquency. winch often stems from e-oromic difficulties in the home, and less crime, all expensive for tne community. But in the immediate future the welfare department is going to need every cent of its already inadequate budget. Used Cars Inspected at Russell Bros., Inc.

CHRYSLER — PLYMOUTH Direct Factory Dealer Flint Hill Phone Wa*h-2575 “Rogue*’ Regiment Is Thrilling New Film “Rogues’ Regiment,” is heralded as a fast-paced adventure film with a story that parallels the hunt by military intelligence units for Martin Bormann, last of the high-ranking Nazi war criminals still not brought to trial for wartime atrocities. The Universal - International picture, will open Monday at the Fairfax Theatre in Culpeper. Dick Powell portrays the leading role of ah American Army officer who leads the search for 'Bormann, called Bruner in the film. Marta Toren, Swedish-born beauty who made her screen debut in “Casbah,” and Vincent Price are other stars of the film. Stephen McNally, vital new personality from the stage, enacts the Nazi fugitive. The story is as current as today’s headlines, and centers around the modern French Foreign Legion. The Legion, in the past has been the basis for many romantic and colorful films. The locale is Indo-China and the plot is backgrounded by the Viet Nam rebellion against the French government. Battles in tropical swamps between LegionrtMires and guerrilas are high-* lights. “Rogues’ Regiment” was directed by. Robert Florey and produced by Robert Buckner, producer of (^Life With Father.” Buckner and Florey wrote the original story. Seen in the imposing cast are such well-knowns as Carol Thurston and Edgar Barrier. And we might add that the welfare department’s funds are a combination of federal, state, and local funds and if their budget is reduced by $1000, roughly $4000 will be lost in federal-state grants.

HAZEL CORBIN Editor-in-Chief ....GLADYS REID Assistant Editor.PHYLISS HUDSON Sports Editor.JO ELLEN WORTH Gossip Editor.HELEN NETHERS George Washington George Washington, born in 1732, took the oath of office as the first president of the United States in 1789, ha\ing been unanimously chosen, under the new Constitution, to fill that office. He was re-elected and served until 1797. Though urged to accept the nomination for a third term, he declined, and retired from public life to Mount Vernon in Virginia. In his farewell address to the people, he pointed out the improtance of the right selection of a man to fill the most important office of the United States government—that of President. George Washington’s life is not complete unless his character is included. Thomas Jefferson, describes Washington as having a great and powerful mind, strong penetration, he gained from his council of war, he selected what,he thought was the best for his country from the suggestions he received from friends. No general has ever been known to plan his battles more wisely, he did not fear war, meeting personal dangers with the calmest unconcern. Perhaps the strongest features in his character was prudence and his pure honesty. On a whole his character was perfect, it has been said that never did nature and fortune combine more perfectly to make a man great, and to place him in such a place that he should be known and recognized as a man having everlasting remembrance. For his was the reward and merit of leading his country successfully through a war which was fought to win its independence; of running its councils through the birth of a government, new to the world in its forms and principles until it had settled down into a quiet and orderly nation, and of obeying the laws through the whole of his career, private and military, of which the' history of the world furnished none who are greater. Student Council On Monday, February 13, the meeting was called to order by the president. The minutes were read and approved. There was a discussion of the basketball tournament, which will be held in Manassas. Work will be started on the annual this week. The letters for the stage curtains will be put on as soon as basketball is over. Mary K. Fincham and Gladys Reid are going to purchase a curtain for the shower room. Charles Scroggins was appointed to see that the broken windows in the cafeteria are replaced. Being no further business the meeting was adjourned. Rosie Mae Mills Secretary Junior New* Eloise H.

Pep Meeting The auditorium rocked with - hearty yells last Friday morning as the first official pep meeting of the year was conducted by . cheerleaders Lucy Mae, Lois W., Rosie Mae and Lois R. For a half hour the high school pupils cheered for the Panthers. The basketball players were called up by Coach Link, who reminded the pupils that these players represent W.H.S. in many towns. The pep meeting seems to have succeeded in its purpose as the Panthers came up with a double victory over Aldie High on Friday night. Since this was the last home game for three senior girls, a special effort was made by them. Jo Ellen Worth was high scorer with 23 points. Eloise Estes and Phyllis Hudson with 'beautiful passwork played a terriffic game. The Panther guards showed outstanding skill when they continuously intercepted the passes of the Aldie forwards. The game ended with the score 33-29. The Panther boys led Aldie from the first. By ex.client teamwork our players ended the game with a score of 39-19. Edwin Scroggins was high scorer with 11 points. quoting me wise The greatest undeveloped territory in the world lies under your hat—Voice of St. Jude. ¥ ¥ ¥ The trouble with being punctual is that nobody’s there to appreciate it.—Franklin P.

January Weather Data At Shenandoah Park January 1950, was a month of phenomenally mild weather in Shenandoah National Park. It was the warmest January for the Park on record, and one of the warmest Januarys in this region in the history of the Weather Bureau. At Big Meadows (elevation 3500 feet), one of the highest and coldest developed areas of the Park, the mean temperature of the month reached 41.9 degrees, the maximum 53 degrees, and the maximum for one day 68 degrees. There were 22 days when the maximum temperature reached 51 degrees or more, and 4 days at 61 degrees or more. Corresponding data for Park Headquarters (elevation 1100 feet), at the* western foot of the Blue Ridge, were 47.6 degrees, 80 degrees, 24 days, and 18 days. These figures contrast strongly with those of January 1948, which was more typically wintry: Big Meadows, 21.5 degrees; 32 degrees! 5Q degrees, and 0 days reaching 51 degrees; Park Headquarters, 26.0 degrees, 33 degrees, 62 degrees, knows why. * ¥ * When Lois Walter rides the Trail way bus wonder why sHe always sits on the front seat on the left hand side.

As a result of this January’s nany warm days, dandelions doomed as high as 3100 feet and ilders and chickweed were in ’lower in lower places. New leafets appeared on willows in the valley, snakes and skunks becam« active, and many other signs of early spring were observed. Tourists also responded to the spring-like weather ^s reflected in an increase in Park travel of 36 per cent over January 1949, and 509 per cent over January 1948. “BOUQUET”—You’ll get the crown for “prettiest potiible" when you don this exquisite Judy Bond Deinty lace and embroidery drift delightfully acron a blouse of imported Swiss batiste.

Snead) 1 was triad when a member of the editorial staff of the Rappahannock News requested that I write something in regard to the schools that I taught in Rappahannock county years ago, especially the school whose pupils are pictured abo\e. I should like for what I write to be considered as a sequel to the article which appeared in this paper in November, concerning the beginning of public education n the co. nty for pupils of grade school age. It was stated that the school established at that time was called “The Academy” and later atffecj'Honately nicknamed "The Rabbit Gum.” I heartily agree with the author that the training given in this type of school was second to none in thoroughness and firm discipline. The schools that 1 taught in the county ware especially designed for students of Jiigh school age in need of training to prepare them for college as well as life, although some younger ones were included. This need was laid upon the minds and hearts of some of the leading citizens of—the countywho caught a vision oT what they wished for the future citizens, the kind of vision witho t which ' the nations perish.” There might even have been presentiment of the heavy burden that would be laid upon the shoulders of their children when the eyes of the whole world woukl be turned to them for leadership in a time of crisis such as exists tody. Among these first citizens I wish to mention two with whom 1 came in closest contact—Mrs. Annie Keyset- of Glen Eyrie and Mr. Frank Dudley of WashingTon. 1 wa- first called to Rappahannock one year after I graduated from Hollins • College, to teach a group of pupils assembled • y .mis. iveyscr in ner own Home. They consisted first of members of her own family, namely: Leila, '-hose lo\ ely face nail sweet manner I recall so vividly, later Mrs. Wheeler Almond. Annie, whose eagerness for knowledge along ail lines made it a pleasure to teach her, she later married my brother John Snead, th-s cementing my close relationship with the county through the years. Ida, so earnest in her work, later Mrs. Frank 1). Wood.; Joe, whose college career was cut short by an accident on the athletic field; Bob, who studied medicine and is now the prominent physician, Dr. R. L. Keyset1, of Baltimore; Jake or J. E. Keyser, who attended William and Mary College, and later taught in the schools of his native county." Also there were the children (of Mr. John J. Miller, Mrs. Keiyser’s brother. They were: Frank, who graduated from West Point and, gave years of service in the army of his country, now Col,, B. F. Miller; Henry, who turned to the study of medicine and practiced for years in Washington, D. C.; John and Sadie, who passed away in early life. Also among my pupils in this school were three fine girls: Lucy Wood, now Mrs. Dudley Wood of Flint Hill; Frances Carter, now living in New York City; and Lavinia Dudley, Mrs. C. A. White. Now, for the group pictured in this issue, these were my pupils some ten or twlev'e years later. Mr. Frank Dudley was the moving spirit in the organization of this school. He assembled the pupils and rented the frame building which stood to the right of the pike as you entered Washington from Sperryville. This building has since been torn down. This picture was made on the high steps of a building a little farther up town. Not having one of these pictures to refer to I cannot name the pi pils according to position, but each stands out in my memory. They were as follows, Frankie Dudley, whose keen intellect fitted her to become a valued worker in her government in Washington, D. C., her vivacious personality made her very popular and her triumphant sickness and death proclaimed her strong Christian faith and were an inspiration to all who knew her. Louemma Carter, in whose kindly home I boarded while teaching this school, she is now Mrs. W. F. Moffett, whose lovely residence stands near the old homestead. Kitty Kinsey, now Mrs. Robert Miller, living in the beautiful F.T. Valley, her brother John Kinsey, whose warm hearted boyish nature endeared him to his teacher and it was with real sorrow that ” learned of his passing in the prime of manhood. Daisy Snead, my youngest sister, who later graduated in music from Hollins College, married U. S. \\ hitaker, of South Carolina and they now live in Washington, D. C". Elizabeth Harris now Mrs. DeBergh, whose sparkling brown eyes and rosy cheeks are still fresh in my memory. Blanch Coates, Lottie Burton and Beulah Atwood all earnest conscientious pupils, as were Scott anti Ariadne Witherow. Louise and Jack Miller were the youngc.-i in toe giuup, Loui.-.c i.s now Mrs. J. \\ . Price and lives in tne colonial home of her parent.-, •lack ./was fur many years the ti listed cas,i:ei of the Rappahannock National Bank. in uappanan hock is a happy memory anti my deep interest in each one of my pupils Still continues. The host that I can wish for all of them is that they will fulfill the high hopes held for them by the splendid men and women who were their ancestors, and that they will do credit to Rappahannock, one of the most beautiful counties in the State of Virginia. There is such a crying need for clear brains, brave hearts and steady hands— as someone has said, “There is no room for littleness anywhere.” In addition to Miss Snead’s report, Mrs. A. M. Verner of Washington gives the following information. of her two sisters. Mrs. Elizabeth Coates Binford graduated from the Fort Louden Seminary at Winchester, and from the Marshall Lodge Home and Retreat, a Masonic, hospital, in Lynchburg. She became superintendent of nurses at the Georgia Baptist hospital in Atlanta and served as a nurse in France during World War I, being made a First Lieutenant in the army reserve at the close of the war. Miss Blanche W. Coates was postmistress at S^rry^ille and taught school in the county for a number of years. She became an employee of the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company, holding the position of supervisor of toll clerks in the Richmond accounting office, and was retired in 1949.

Brucellosis Speech By Dr. W. L. Bendix (Continued From Last Week) Editor's note: This is the conclusion of a speech carried in last week’s issue, by Dr. W. L. Bendix ) If you talk to a man who is a producer of commercial beef cpttlv he will tell you one thing, hut if he i^ talking to a man who is a producer of purebred dairy cattle lie will get a violent disap> cement and finally the pure bred heef man gets into the discussion and there is another opinion that is entirely different from either one of the other two. Most of those discussions end in a feeling that there is nobody who knows what the answer i^ and we might as well go home and work out our own salvation, or there is nothing we can do about it. The truth of the matter is that they are all right. The man with the purebred dairy herd is not in anything like the same position as a man with a commercial beef herd. His problems are different, his market is different, his responsibility to himself, to his herd, to his community are different. * And you must approach this thing on a sound basis and know where you are going and what road you think, or fool, is the best before you start and then, when you make up your mind, stick to it. Adult vaccination or herd vaccination is a last resort measure and should not be undertaken lightly. It should not be undertaken in a spirit of, “well I haven’t got anything to lose and everything to grain and I’ll try it.” It should not be undertaken experimentally by owners oi cattle which are producing: profitable herds. It is a very serious matter. It is a very easy matter to pet the vaccine in the cattle hut a prety difficult one to pet it out of them apain if you rhanpe your mind after you vaccinate them. We have been very reluctant to approve adult herd vaccination. We have disc ssed it at considerable lenpth with a ereat many people, a preat many people have done it. More than 5 0'1 of the people who have done it with our reluctant approval base later come in and pounded on our desk anti asked is “way on earth we ever let them do it?" Somethinp less than 50 r< of the people are rather pleased with the results but there is a place for adult vaccination. Put it is a b- t i esort measure and it should not he undertaken lieht'v and you shoo'd know just exactly what yo are eettine into before you do it. It doesn't cost anythinp to wait a few days t think tlb n\ ei and discuss it but it can co t an awful lot to do it too ii nick I y. Those a re 11 • plat'- that are offered. Now. the testiny ,>f cattle, the test of adult cattle, while it is an impoitan' pait 'of this picture, i ;eht at the- tune it is of lessei importance', certainly in the minds of the various breed associations, than a uniform approach to this whole problem — a serious attempt at vaccinating the maximum number of younsr female or yo tie heifer calves in the State of Virpinia. We are limited in our finances, we are limited very strictly in our personnel. A committee composed of practically all of the breed association officers, experiment station veterinarians, Dr. Young, representati\es of the extension service, and representative's of our office,' has discussed the matter of a practical approach to this problem and the participation of the various agencies in it at considerable length. We have arrived at a solution that appears workable, we are going to try. Certainly it is not the final one, it is just the beginning but I think it is a step in the right direction. It is not quite a give away. In involves certain responsibilities on the part of the owners of the cattle which I think not only right but is the practical approach to it. That which you get absolutely for nothing is 'usually worth just what it cosd you. And unless the owner himself is seriously interested in participating in this as a means of cleaning his own ,herd, I doubt Very much whether ’ any agency, or agencies, will be , *n the position to help him very greatly. Now; with the money we have, and the arrangements we have made,' the practicing veterinarians in the State are going to do a great deal of the actual wprk in this program for w'hich the State of Virginia is prepared to pay him an acceptable fee that he is already agreed to take. The fltate wdl! furnish the vaccine and vaccinate all of the heifer calves between the ages of 4 and 8 months, preferably at 6 months that we can get, we want to vaccinate just as many of these calves as we possibly can. We have for a great many *■ years been furnishing the vaccine and some of you have been getting your veterinarian to administer it, however, participa tion was not wide enough to even slow down spread of Brucellosis. To participate under .the present plan on an unorganized basis would be entirely too costly. While this is not going to cost you anything directly.'every time we vaccinate a calf it cost he taxpayers $1.06. You could get it done probably for less money, but anything the State undertakes usually winds up costing a little more per unit than if it were done by someone else. That is the way things are, I don’t know why but that is just the way things are. We don't want to throw any of this Vaccine away. We want it all to be as effective as we know how to make it. Now, any man who will adopt one of these four plans seriously, and work it conscientiously, may have his calve? vaccinated without cost. I am talking now of the commercial herd and I mean by commercial herd, anv herd that >s operated commercially, whether it be grade herd or a pure bred beef herd, or a dairy herd doesn’t matter. As a commercial hen! I am simply speaking of a herd that is operated commercially and is the main source of income on any farm. They are differsen'tiated from the farm ' cattle, the man who farms, or is a general farmer, or he is hog farmer, or a corn farmer, or anything you like, and has two or thr^e or a half dozen cows for his own, and his tenants use, and raises a couple of calves for replacement or to sell to some dairyman or to some commercial beef herd, we call those ‘farm cows' or ‘family cows’ against the ‘commercial herd. The commercial herd is usually served somewhere by a veterinarian, the practicing: veterinarian. This Veterinarian has already been instructed and briefed on how to do this so all you have to do is contact your veterinarian, and teill him you are interested in Brucellosis control and he will explain the plans to you in detail and if you are seriously interested in it he will furnish you one, or the initial, free test of your herd and send us the bill; provided when you get the test and see where you are, you adopt one of the four plans, continue, to vaccinate your calves, which he will do at our expense without, any further work on your part except seeing that it is done. We will handle th.e details. If you get the man to test your cattle and when you get the report back you look at it and decide, “no. I’m not interested, I don’t believe I want to bother with it. it’s nothing to it, or I’m not concerned," then test is on you. You get the toll If you will go ahead and fall in line and follow one of these plans, its on us. It is of course impos-dhlo for any ot you people, nr most of you people to know 1 \\ hat is the best way to proceed until you have the test on your held. You needn’t select anything or any ope of the plans until you have the test and get it back and discuss it witn your \ eterinarian or if you like with us, or anybody you choose. Take what time you think is reasonable ana rail to mane up your mum. But when you once make up your mind do it seriously, mean it. The only exception to that is this elan C. You may adopt this Plan C without a preliminary test of your herd provided you agree that when 50r« of your producing herd is made up of vaccinated calces, or animals that were vaccinated as calves, you will then test your herd and proceed thoroughly and conscientioi sly with one of the other plans and we will furnish the vaccination without cost. That takes care pretty generally of the commercial herd. The farm cow, the farm calf, is just as much and just as important a part of this picture as the large commercial herds. Our veterinarians, the practitioners, have been instructed in their routine practice when they are visiting farms for this or that or the other purpose to ask the owner, when ever they are through what ever he came out to do, “if he has any calves of vaccinating age?” Then if so, the State is very much interested in having them vaccinated and if he wijl catch them he will do it right now and it won’t cost you a cent. That.will get a great many calves. As th'is .plan develops, as we begin to work at' it more and more, 'people will see what is going on and more and more people will be talking about it and we hope before, too long and when the veterinarian forgets to ask a man whether he has any calves the. man will remind him that he has some calves. If the veterinarian is at your place and he asks you if you have one or two calves and you say yes and the man across the road has a couple and the other guy down the road has a few too we want to get them too, and we will pay for that. There is no obligation on the part of these owners of the,se farm calves to enter an agreement. We are not particularly interested in testing those cows, a few possibly would react. They don’t form a part of this plan that would interfere with the eradication or the control of this disease. Certainly rjot at this time. We are more interested in the backlog of vaccinated farm calves than we are of several file cases full of test records in Richmond on testing ‘farm cows.’ Anybody who wants his ‘farm cow’ tested while the veterinarian is there we are glad to have him do so. Right at this time we are not in the position to pay him for this service although we will offer a one initial test to the commercial herd. That may seem a little unfair and yet we are not much concerned with the feelings of this man against this man just because this man has more cows. We are concerned with finding out where most of our disease, is and doing what we can to isolate it and prevent its further spread. Question, asked by N'ed Jones. Answer: Right. Question: Most people who have commercial herds also have some ‘farm cows’ too—do you test all of tiie cows on the farm, or just the herd? Answer: All on the farm. Oh yes, you test everything on the premises. Question: Well, may I ask a question? (H. M. Miller) If you have a clean herd and you start vaccinating the calves, there is a lot of Bang's aroi ml you, you see, and you start vaccinating these calves, is there any danger of those calves giving it to the cows? Answer: .no. Answer: No-no. The man with the clean herd. I might mention that, if he wants his calves vac-' cinated at State expense, will enter one of these agreements and just keep on doing what he is already doing. If he is already vaccinating then he keeps on doing what he has been doing, except we assume all the cost of the vaccination instead of just part of it. We do not however test his herd because it is clean and he knows it is. And the signing of one of these—it isn’t an agreement, it isn’t a contract or any legal thing, it is just a statement of understanding that doesn’t .bind you to anything, but after all this is public money and I have to face an auditor twice a year and that is why we require these pieces of paper in our tiles. He likes to look at them and I like to stay out of jail. So we have to go through these forms. It seems sometimes rather foolish to require a man to enter into an agreement with you to keep on doing what he possibly has already been doing all tiie time but yet that is government. He is benefitted in that he is getting allthe cost of his vaccination taken off his hands, rather than just a portion of it. To take this one step further, the possibilities for promoting community vaccination that the extension service is going to assume the resoonsibilitv for nro moting. Mr. Lyne has not yet heard about it officially from the director, because we are still working' out the basic plans to get as many of the bugs out as we can before we put it out to try. But he will in due course be advised. That involves briefly the arranging, or lining up if you will of the assembling of calves of the proper age in the communities. This can be done by two or three means. It can be done by lining up all the calves of vaccinating age in a given area, or community, or lining up calves on farms that are contiguous, or all down one road; and it can be done by assembling ' calves at a given point. The first two I think will work very well. The assembly of 6 to 8 months old female calv es on an afternoon all at one point doesn’t sound too smart to me. It may appeal to you people if it does we will be very happy to have you try it, but I don’t know—I just . . . they do that with dogs when they have compulsory rabis Vaccination, they assemble them all on the school horse lawn, but I believe that if w;e had 50 6 to 8 month old Hereford or Angus heifer calves assembled on the school house lawn all at one time, I would want to be some where else. But it might work. I have the latest issue of the West Virginia Market Bulletin that came in this week on my desk now' ancl the man that sent it to me underlined with red pencil a big lead article w’here in West Virginia in one spot—-I have forgotten where it was recently they assembled 26G calves from 48 herds in one place on one afternoon and vaccinated them all. It took quite a group of people to get that done and I can imagine they had themselves quite a time. If you think that will work in your area by all mbans try it. The State will participate to the extent of furnishing the Vaccine and a veterinarian at a prearranged place and time. We will not send a man for less than 25 calves at any one time because that begins to run into too much money. Twenty five is the minimum, as many more as you can get. We would like in counties where there are veterinarians practicing, of course, that that man will do the work. In counties where there are no veterinarians we will select the nearest one, or if the people involved prefer some specific veterinarian and if he is available at the time desired, we will be very happy to furnish him. That is about the size of it at today. Now you will appreciate the vaccination of the calf goes a long way in protecting the next generation of cattle the testing of the adult herd and the retention of the reactors locates the infection and does a great deal toward limiting the spread of the infection, but there is in that picture a gap. The possible additional infection of the clean cow in this infected h'trrd, particularly when the reactors are retained. It is all very well probably when a man has 20"< of his herd infected, he starts vaccinating his calves and they will grow up and he resistant but that doesn't answer the problem in the man's herd about what to do j^bout his present producing cows. In some herds it may be desirable to vaccinate them. If this disease is rapidly progressing and this is a commercial beef operation, it probably would be desirable to vaccinate. If thsi is a pure bred beef operation, if the man is willing to revert that herd from its pure bred breeding to strictly production- of commercial beef, then it may be desirable to vaccinate. If that is a grade or a commercial dairy herd it is most un desirable that he vaccinate tnem because there you have public health problems that so far has not been satisfcatorily answered and until it is you cannot afford to make all of your milk producing cows reactors. If it is a pure bred dairy operation you have two reasons not to vaccinate your adult cattle. Now I am not arguing from the standpoint, or I am not discussing this from a standpoint of the effectiveness of the vaccine. All disease control in livestock is a compromise, t^e have certain methods that we know will work,' We have industry that we are not desirous of wrecking. We apply knowledge to the. industry in the hope we will clean up the infection at the same time keep the industry just as prosperous as we possibly can. Therefore, our compromise is not with oir profit, it is with knowledge of disease control. Surely you could make a pure bred Guernsey as resistant by vaccinating as an adult as you can a grade Hereford calf but to vaccinate the grade Hereford calf or the grade Hereford cow does not seriously complicate the problem of profitably producing for that owner as it does for the pure bred Guernsey breeder. There is the problem that is always before us in regulatory work. If we are going to tell you to do something that we know will control the disease but at the same time will put you out of business you are just as well off not doing anything; better. I think that has contributed more to the confusion in the minds of the people on “who knows what to do about Bangls disease’* and “I don't think anybody does,” than anything else, because you seldom get four people arguing who are all in the same kind of cattle production and therefore the problem is different and the solution is different. Soils are \'ery much like cows; some are good for one crop, some are good for another. No soil is good is good for much if it isn’t well taken care of. DONAHOE’S FLOWER SHOP FRONT ROYAL MRS. C. E.

Selznick’s long-awaited production, “Portrait of Jennie," which is rated one of his finest films since “Gone With the Wind" and which opens next Wednesday at the Pitts Theatre, Culpeper, has a production record which exceeds in scope any recent film release. The picture, stalling Jennifer Jones. Joseph Gotten, Ethel Rarryinoie and other distinguished players, was two years in the making and is a strong candidate for the vario s Academy Award honors. Described as a hauntinglv beautiful .story • of an artist's love for a girl, fought for against the strangest kind of overwhelming odds, “Portrait of Jennie” is based on the widely read novel by Robert Nathan. Paul Osborne, the playwright, wrote the screen play. William Diertle directed. Selznick produced “Portrait of Jennie” with the same meticu ious craitsmansmp ami auenuon ti> detail which have marked his many films for more than two decades. In his search for realism, he directed that the picture 'be photographed on the authentic N’ew York locations of the Nathan romance. Manp of the early scenes were filmed in Manhattan, in Central Park and city streets, where delay was caused by snow storms and icy weather when the temperature dropped as low as 14 degrees below zero. Not once during five winter months the company remained on location in New York and New England could the stars and rew work without heavy clothing. But those hazards were overcome and Director Diertle obtained some of the finest “shots” of the film. As in all his notable productions, Selznick has lavished creative talents and a large sum of money on “Portrait of Jennie”— the climax of which is a spectacular storm sequence reported to he the most thrilling ever filmed. These scenes were made at. historic Graves Light in outer Boston Harbor, where nature itself provided the effects lashing the sea in a spectacle which brings the drama to a close. Another noteworthy feature of “Portrait of Jennie” is Selznick’s use for the first time of the muse of Claude Debussy for the complete score of the production. 'Something For Nothing* Keeps Taxes' High You know that you can’t keep '(rawing money out of your hank account without ever putting any in. The hank doesn’t play that way. This is also true of Federal financing. Every dollar spent must sooner or latef'be collected ip the form of taxes. Many of these taxes are hidden, such as the $2.44 you pay yn a 5 ’ * radio, or the f>2 cents on ■■ average alarm clock. These are in addition to the direct' taxes of which the average citizen is pain fully aware. Tax money is necessary to run our government. But all too much of it is wasted by inefficiency, dup Iication of effort, overlapping of Federal agencies, or appropriat .ons for services to pressure groups. Heretofore, no one has known how much these government ser vices cost us through waste and inefficiency. But some surprising facts have been revealed by th» Commission on the Organization of the Executive Branch of the Government. This twelve-man, bipartisan Commission was created by Congress with the approval of the President. At the suggestion of Mr. Truman, former President Hoover was made its Chairman The Army, Navy, and Air Force asked for $30 billions of annronria tions after being told that $15 billions was all the Nation com!,) afford.

Davit Street Culpeper, Va. Governor Battle Set*. Wildlife Week Governor John S. Battle has issued an executive statement setting aside the week of March 1925 as Wildlife Restoration Week in Virginia. “As springtime approaches," said the mindful governor, “we are reminded again of the glories of nature and of all the living things that make the outdoors what it is. Our wildlife in particular enjoys a new freshness, a new lite to begin all over again the processes of a promising existence." t "Our wildlife is endangered,” ■said the Governor, “and we mud forever be on guard against the forces of destruction which would dissipate it. As Governor of Virginia, therefore, I urge every citizen in the Commonwealth to take an active part in conservation work aimed at the restoration of this great and wonderful heritage. I am pleased to announce the week of March 19 to 25, inclusive, as Wildlife Restoration Week in Virginia, and strongly i rge that these days be observed by providing suitable food and cover and living places for our wildlife.” • * The Governor further urged that sportsmen, organized outdoor clubs, civic bodies, landowners, youth groups —fell —to particularly unite their efforts aimed at wildlife rehabilitation School officials and teachers, and their /pupils,- can profit immeasurably by devoting some' of their time to the study of wildlife conservation. State Game Commission officials are "pleased with Governor Battle’s message and are anxious to coopepat?"-rn every way possible to make ‘Wildlife Week’ a success. Here ai)4 some wildlife activities they recommend during this period: 1. Make wildlife food plantings of lespedezas, millet, combine milo and other bird mixtures and grasses along field borders and fence rows. 2. Refrain from burning fence lines, ditch banks and strips near wooded areas. 3. Practice contour farming and strip cropping and leave small areas for food patches fbr wildlife wherever possible. - 4. Assist in carrying out programs of conservation education. Conduct classroom forums, plan group meetinfi8, prepare display material and discuss conservation. George Robert iFincham Funeral services were held at the Pentaeostal church at Nethers Mills Tuesday, February 14, at 2 o’clock with the Rev. R. H. Scroggins, pastor of the church, officiating. Pallbearers were Meade Nichols, George Jenkins, G. M. Jen7 .. kins, Jaines Fincham, and Bert ' Jenkins. A son of the late Noah Fincham and Ella Fincham of Woodville, George Robert Fincham i = survived by his wife, two daughters, Alice and Shirley, at home, and a son at Lynchburg, three brothers and several sisters. (Continued from page 1.1 School how much debt could be made. He named the advantages of a consolidated high school in extra courses. Prefacing his definite outlined plan with the opinion that Rappahannock’s share of the $45000,000 'Battle school fund would be about $00,000, he recommended : Five primary schools, Amissville, Washington and Flint Hill, with Belle Meade and Woodville grades 1 and 2; two elementary schools, SrleVryville and Flint Hill: and one high school. This would necessitate the building of a $100,000 elementary school at Flint Hill. Before the meeting adjourned, there was a discussion of the financial jjsllity of the county toward school improvement. Through questions and answers,it was brought out that the school debt at present was $83,000, $30,000 of which had been added in the past few years. After lOS^, stated Mr. Casque, the debt would be retired at the rate of $2000 per year. One gentleman suggested that since the transportation rate per child per year was $18.43, it might be cheaper to place more teachers in outlying communities and avoid this expense. Mrs. E. T./Cox apologized to the visitipjj./committeemen for" any discomforture caused them by the citizens present, and after a suggestion that the late hour was inconvenient to some of the visitors, the meeting ended.
