Rappahannock News Published Thursday Morning at Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia Dial Washington 2851 LUCY CATHERINE BOWIE Publisher Entered as second-class mail, matter at the post office at Washington, Virginia. Subscription:__ $2:00 a year An Apology Ignorance is bad; carelessness is worse. Rappahannock News is now feasting on crow. Mr. Lyne, we apologize, humbly, publicly, profoundly. Last week an item appeared in these columns stating that a field fire occurred and ‘‘no damage resulted.” Mr. Lyne, please sir, after all your crusading on the evils of burning fields, we knew better. Carelessness, inexcusable, it was that said ‘‘no damage resulted” from burning over a field. “No damage,’» indeed! It will take five years, no telling how many pounds of fertilizer, and untodl hours of labor to put back into that field what fire took off in a few minutes. After all, broom sedge is The Great Farmer's donation as a last resort to save a field from which man has taken all fertility. When man then uses fire to destroy the sedge, he is at the lowest pdint. He has even destroyed the sedge which would, at least, ■dop the rains from washing away what little soil value that was left. The statement, “no damage resulted," should have been “no buildings destroyed, but the blackened field is now devoid of the sedge which might have been mowed and turned into food for the already poor soil.” Please forgive the carelessness, Mr. Lyne; we’ll not let it happen again.

It is not a fine house built over our head That will prepare Johnny Jones for life, But what, and how it is taught instead That will fit him for this world of strife. If instead of lectures on atoms and stars He is taught the essentials of living, He will find it more useful to know his 3 R’s Than receive what our savants are giving.

M. !4The Time Has Come,’°\ the Walru* said ... : Well, it’s past. Tomorrow will be St. Patrick’s clay—but yesterday, my friends, was Uncle Sammy's day. On March 15, our rich Uncle Sam collected from his about-to-be-tardy income -tax e'd nephews and nieces. Some few of us, of course, sent in the donation to Uncle Sammy’s till early in the year, and the old man felt so sorry for us that he returned hO cents—or maybe it was to prove that he wasn’t a cheap-skate and was willing that we should have that to help pay the interest on the amount we had to borrow in order to pay the income tax-. Then, too, there are a few whom Uncle Sammy considered had been left entirely too much money to waste, so it is understood he sent one fellow a bill for 20 cents additional payment. It is to be hoped that they still (Continued on Page Six) Do You Want To Cut Your Federal Taxes? Overlapping Bureaus The Executive Department of the Federal Government has grown from small beginnings into a mighty colossus composed of 1,812 separate bureaus and agencies employing 2,090,554 civilian workers with an annual payroll of more than $6,000,000,000.00. This growth was haphaxard. What happened was that when a job needed to be done, an agency was hurriedly set up by executive order, or created by Congress, We are now paying for all these mistakes. On July 7, 1947, Congress authorized, by unanimous vota, the launching of the greatest effort yet made to plan an efficient, economical government reorganisation. With the approval of President Truman, a bi-partisan, twelveman commission, headed by former President Hoover, was eatablished. This Commission found many discouraging examples of the confusion in our government machinery, and has made concrete suggestions to correct these ills. >Ab matter* stand, when you attempt to deal with your govsrament, you will find 84 agencies engaged in obtaining land, 10 in Federal construction work, 9 in credit and finance and 60 in gathering statistics. A rancher desiring to pasture his livestock on public lands must obtain separate permits, each containing different terms and conditions, from both the Department of Interior and the Department of Agriculture. The Army Engineers and the Reclamation Bureau cost the taxpayers untold millions of dollars through duplication of effort on water resources development. As an instance of this wasteful duplication, the Hungry Horse Project in' Montana was estimated to cost $6,300,000. The actual cost was $93,500,000. In New Orleans, there are 5 Federal hospitals operated separately by different branches of the government. Their joint capacity is 1,620 beds. When surveyed, they had a total of 913 patients. If you want this waste and inefficiency stopped, write your Congressman. Write the Citizens Committee for Reorganization of the Executive Branch of the Government, 1421 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia 2, Pennsylvania, for further information. Get your neighbors to work with you in this crusade. Old-Age Assistance No “Gravy Train” (Fourth in a serie* of articles by Mrs. Elizabeth Buntin, on old-age assistance in Virginia). Last time I told you about two actual (*ase histories. There were two old sisters who received $11 apiece and an aged man and his wife who got $37 a month to live on. In both cases the needy old people were getting less than they needed because their welfare department did not have enough money. The most we can say for insufficient funds is that they are distributed fairly by reducing all grants alike. But it is a shame to take money away from needy old people in order to get enough to give somebody else. If generous budgets were madeout on each case, it wouldn’t hurt to cut them some, but the fact is that the cost figures used are figured at the very minimum that a person can live on. Do you know that if 100 per cent of needs were met, the average old age assistance grant would be something less than $24.00? I ask you, “Is this an exaggerated figure: How d-oes the State arrive at these cost figures we use? They are based on pricing of actual commodities done throughout the State. Home economists give expert advice on what food items are essential to an adequate diet and just how many clothes are needed by people of all ages. Allowance is made for the fact that an active man eats more and wears out clothes faster than one who is feeble. Cost figures are worked out for each age group They are surprisingly low; for instance, a woman over 65 is allowed $14.05 for food, $3.10 foi clothing. If you think the lattei figure is high, divide by twelve what you 6pent for clothes during the past year. Remembei these figures are based .on mini mum essentials; they add up t< anything but a '“gravy train.” But then the State does not in tend that its assistance program: shall be “gravy trains.” In the matter of income, whicl I spoke of a while back, almos' all recipients of public assistant have some, and the State Depart ment makes sure that it is es timated fairly. Produce, raiscc Vegetables,-fruit, meat, eggs, etc. are real income, as every farm er knows. Anything that reduce: one’s expenses is income. Cos' of production is figured in also After the percentage of tots food requirements that have beei raised has been computed and : 'cash value has been given to it it is deducted from the needs oi the assistance plan, just as othe i kinds of incomd- This involve considerable work. Some states have abandoned it entirely. I have gone into some detail about this in order to show how practical oUr method of determining the amount of a grant is. Standard allowances are realistic, income is taken into consideration, and, providing there are sufficient funds, the grants reflect ver yaccurately the actual needs of the recipients. You can see how money saving this is in comparison with any program, which gives certain flat allowances to its recipients. Naturally a program .like this is going to attract less maligners, because the amount of assistance is not worth bothering about if one does not really need it. But thorough investigation of applicants screens out most maligners. Any public assistance program has a few, but as I have so often told our critics, you can’t condemn a whole program just because of a few people who ought not to be getting assistance. The majority of recipients are genuinely needy. I believe Virginia has as few maligners on its assistance rolls as any state in the Union. Its welfare program is intelligent, its policies sound, and it rates high among other state programs. Here is at least part of the answer to why our assistance rolls are low. The welfare department’s conservative, sane policies should be a source of pride to Virginians, but it is a false sort of pride indeed if we hamper its efficiency by giving it too little money with which to work.

His twenty-four hour -day consisted of eating, sleeping, and working at a very monotonous job. During his spare time, he sat around worrying about himself. This particular person is following the same pattern of life as the lower animals. He isn’t living, he’s only existing! Don’t let this happen to you. Life is real, life is great! There are a thousand and one varied activities to keep you contented and happy. One could spend the rest of his life enjoying the many symphonies, operas, operettas, that have been written for your enjoyment. How many of you are familiar with enduring compositions of Mozart, Beethoven, and Schubert? When you Visit a large city, attend a band, glee club, or symphony concert. If you don’t enjoy it, I’ll refund your money. Perhaps some of you would like to play a trumpet, saxophone, violin, or piano. It’s not impossile. These instruments can be purchased for a very reasonable price. The space of this entire newspaper could be used to list the good books and poems that have been written for your enjoyment. Read the interesting narrative stories of Hawthorne, Sinclair Lewis, Mark Twain, and John Steinbeck. Perhaps you prefer the beautiful rhythmic verses of Longfellow, Poe, Whitman, Milton, Keats, and Byron. If you don’t care to read any leygthy stories, there are numerous magazines with short, brief instructive articles from cover to cover. Life magazine, Reader’s Digest, Coronet, Saturday Evening Post, are just a fettf of them. What would be a better way to spend an hour or two? It would increase your vocabulary, and add much to your knowledge. Have, you ever tried to write a poem or short story? It’s lots of fun. You aren’t going to be in school forever. Try to cultivate and develop sports that you can pursue after leaving these halls of learning. Golf, tennis, ping pong, " swimming, dancing, will offer untold enjoyment. Join the town basketball, softball, and baseball teams. These activities will keep you in good physical shape and offer keen competition between you and your friends. Presumably, the particular job that you have will offer a short vacation. Use this time seeing the beautiful and historical sights of our land. Such panoramic views a3 Niagara Falls, Natural Bridge, Yellow Stone National Park, Grand Canyon, will leave lasting impressions upon your mind. From the above you can readily see there are many worthwhile and instructive ways to spend your time. Keep active and interested in many of these activities. Happiness and contentment will slip into your life without you knowing it. Then, you will be enjoying life at it’s best! F. F. A. New* By S Kir ley Woodward Twenty-eight members of the Washington Chapter attended a Northern Triangle Federation meeting at Berryville, March 1. While there we talked of having a Federation basketball tournament, which was held last Wednesday at Front Royal. Our 'boys won against Front Royal but lost when competing against Loray. While at our meeting we saw a movie and had several other entertainments. After the meeting refreshments were served by two Clark county boys and we left for home. We held our regular F. F. A. meeting Monday, March 6 in our agricultural class room. The boys in shop made a walnut end table and sold chances on it. At our meeting on March 6, we got a grade pupil to come down and draw one of the chances. We didn’t feel that an FFA member should do the drawing as several other people in the ^community took chances. The winner was our chapter secretary, Irvin Corbin. We also have some real nice frying size chickens now for sale. We have sold some and the reports we have gotten back from the buyers is that they are tlje best and the tenderest they have ev’er eaten. So get yours now or you might be left out. Anyone who wants to buy soma, get in toueh with Mr. Wagner or an FFA boy. Home Economics The Junior Home Economics students are now learning the cits of meat and planning ways of cooking them. They have just completed a course in bread making.

C E R T I FI ED LADINO SEED Talk On Social Security by Mary Kay Finckam On Thursday we were fortunate to have Miss Cokey talk to • us about' Social Security. The words Social Security have become popular in the last ten years. Social security for children rests on a partnership of family effort, government services and private facilities. The purpose is to strengthen the home life of America’s children through assurance of a minimum income and to promote the welfare of children through specialized public services in the community. The security of children, wives and aged parents, does not depend on the willingness of their family to support them. It’s written into our laws; enforced in our courts. It is a form of social security because as a society we see to it that members of a family give th,is support when they can, whether they wish to or not. Our greatest success is making life safes- for children. The Social Security Act helps to provide some income to people who are little able or unable to earn. What we want today is what American! Ihave always wanted and worked for. Our security is the security of the whole people. The Echo Under the guidance of Faculty Advisor, Mrs. Bnrford, work has been started on the school annual.

The boys didn’t have such good luck, they were defeated by the same class. Our class is planning to work up a May-day program this spring. We will have a May-pole dance and some other activities. During our last study period we have been enjoying classical music by Beethoven and Haydn. Destination—Jr. Room • Most of you are familiar with Miss E., the subject of this week’s character sketch, for she is an all-around girl. Miss E., is on the honor roll and seems always to be a story or two ahead in Latin; she writes entertaining bits of news for the LWP; Miss E., is a first team forward on the Panther basketball squad and captain of the Junior gills intramural team; and you can depend on her to knock a homer when the bases are loaded and score is tied in the softball finals. These activities seem to leave little time for anything else, bit Miss E., rarely ever misses a square dance. And if you hear a peculiar haunting noise issuing from the closed portals of the .Junior room, don’t dive for a foxhole—just grin and bear it—for Miss E. and her chums are either harmonizing on the latest hit tune or cooking up some mischief. Yes, Miss E.—Eloise Estes—is truly an all-around gal and a jolly junior. Freshman News by Peggy Ann Green We were prod to have ton Freshmen students on Honor Roll this time.

Then you’ll be interested in . this advice from L. C. Beamer, vegetable gardening specialist at VPI. - Beamer says to select a welldrained plot as close as possible to your house. Plow as soon as the ground will permit—it should be done by April 1. Buy disease-resistant \arieties, and balance the leafy and root vegetables. Fertilize with 5-10-5 or 4-12-4 at the rate of 25 to 30 pounds per 1,000 square ifeet, either before planting or at planting time. Be sure the fertilizer is well mixed with the soil before seeding. It might be well to stock up now on materials to control disease and insects. You’ll need a rotenone-copper mixture for general control of both insects and diseases; a copper-DDT mixture for potato insects; sabadilla dust for harlequin bug, sqoash bug, and green stink bug, and nicotine sulphate for aphids. Circular 475, “Vegetable Garden Suggestions for Virginia Farmers,’’ gives detailed instructions on planning the garden, choice of varieties,* fertilizing, and general management.

SperryviHe Sthcol Thoughts On Choosing A Vocation \\ hat am I groins to be when I finish school? That is a question in the minds uf almost every hi^h school student. Some have already made their decision, while others are Mill wondering. Some want tort into business, which absorbs the greatest number of graduates, some want to gvt to college, but haven't the money,—-but we are all thankful that we live in a country where there is oppor tunity for all, some have money enough to attend college, but would rather loaf. What yoi choose for vour life’s work should be something that you like to do and at which you are willing to work hard for success. Maybe you want to be a nurse; then ask yourself, “why do I want to be a nurse?" Is it just because nurses look so nice in their starched uniforms, or is it because you want to keep people from suffering, and cheering them up when they are downhearted. Maybe you want to be a motorcycle cop, ;s it because you think you will look nice in that brand new uniform with the shining badge and a pistol and that handsome motor The rery essence of our professional practice is strict, unvarying precision. For precision is our profession—a profession for which our long years of academic training and our many more years of" practical experience, have fitted us. And ever and always through the years, we have lived up to the highest standards of Pharmacy . . . ever and always our professional pride has driven us to attain perfection that perfection which is expressed in medicine compounded exactly to the letter of your doctor's orders.

The girls worked on their spring gar^ ments and discussed the making of them. Continued From PageuTwo) The Time Has Come teach high school teen-agers “Julius Caesar” if for no other reason than that they may learn in future life to reiterate “Beware the Ides of March.” There’ll be parades in some of the cities of our great country tomorrow when the Irish go all out for Ireland’s Saint Patrick. To some of us, as Scotch'as Lauder’s kilts, it strikes cold, but to everyone with an ear an Irish tenor can melt the heart. Following is a bit of posey contributed by a reader. As for any truth in the matter, I ha’e ma doots. . On the eighth day of March it was, some people say That St. Patrick at mid-night he first saw the day While others declare it was the ninth he was bom And ’twas all a mistake between midnight and morn For mistakes will occur in a hurry and shock And some blame the baby and some blame the clock. Till with all their cross question, sure no one could know If the child was too fast or the clock was too slow. No'., the first faction fight in old Ireland they say Was all oh account of St. Patrick s birthday. Softie fought for the eighth, for the ninth more would die, And w-ho wouldn’t see right sure they blackened his eye, At last both the factions so positive grew That each kept a birthday, so Pat then had two. Till Father Mulcany, who showed them their sins, Said no one could have two birthdays but twins. Says he, “Boys, don’t be fighting for eight or for nine Don’t be always dividing, but sometimes combine. Combiner eight with nine and seventeen is the mark So let that be his brthday,” “Amen!” says the clerk. “If he wasn’t a twins sure o r history will show That at least he’s wortli any two saints that we know.” Then they all got blind drunk which completed their bliss, And we keep up the practice from that day ’till this. It is with apprehension that Rappahannock News learned that two enterprising young men of the Sperryville community were considering going into competition in the news-printing business. Their plans to date seem a little unorthodox to the printers on the corner in Washington, hut everyone realizes in this day and time that the novel sometimes is the greater success. These hoys have in mind the printing of the choice bits of gossip derived mainly from the “grapevine.” They say that they know they can get 50-cents per copy (which no one doubts) but that the main source of revenue will come in the form of “hush money,” on Wednesday night, jvst prior to the hour at which the paper is to be printed. We await the first issue, for we feel that / blue convertible Buick and a green Buick will be making a fast exit from these parts. * * * Back in the fall a tribute was paid to Ned Johnson's 21-year-old Ford pick-up, acknowledging the date of Ned's “Henry” coming of age. Those who believe in giving credit where credit is due insist than an important item was omitted from the account of the veteran pick-up’s vicissitudes. Not only has that remarkable Ford withstood 21 years of hard driving, but bear in mind the road into Ned’s place—that’s the road that Ford has traveled!, Let’s put it this way: WHEREAS: The condition of the road leading into the farm of one Ned Johnson near the town of Sperryville, in Rappahannock Co nty, Virginia, is such as to be indescribable, and WHEREAS: W’ith the least of words, said road is rocky and hilly and bumpy and lumpy beyond the wildest imagination of the average ctizen, and WILEREAS: The people of Rappahannock County are reared to acknowledge with highest. Veneration the just rights due to age and endurance, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: That in the future chronological age enumerated in respect to Ned’s ‘‘Henry’’ shall be doubled and forthwith from this date, Match 16, 1950, said “Henry” shall be referred to as 42 years of age, sueh age being considered as justly earned. * * * We noticed Dick and Jack are all smiles these days, and rightfully so, for have you noticed the new ones delivered in Rappahannock lately.

ELECTRIC COOKING MEANS CLEAN COOKING, that’s just one reason why electric ranges are outselling all other types of ranges today. Only an electric range offers you perfect cooking results without bothersome soot, smoke and ashes. There are no messy liquids with their ever present danger of spilling and leaking. You’ll save hours of kitchen scrubbing drudgery because, with flameless electric cooking, walls, cooking utensils, and curtains remain free from grimy smoke and soot stains. In addition to the immaculate cleanliness of electric cooking, you’ll find—as have thousands of others—that electric cookiog has these many other important and desirable features; (1) Electric cooking is SAFE —no danger of fire or explosion from leaking (2) With electric cooking you get PERFECT RESULTS every time-guesswork is eliminated with exact time and temperature controls. (3) Electric cooking is FAST—heat goes directly to the cooking utensil with no waste in the surrounding air. (4) Electric cooking is CHEAP—only an electric range provides completely controlled temperatures, assuring the least possible use of heat. \5) Electric cooking is AUTOMATIC —lust set the controls, and cooking heat and time are self-regulated, leaving you lots more leisure.

Lewis, of the VPI Agronomy Department visited the county on Tuesday of last week, in preparation for the outlining of corn hybrid experiments to be conducted in Rappahannock this year, through the co-operation of Charles H. Estes on the farm which he recently purchased from Mr. E. M. Schwartz, where 16 different hybrids will be tested. The planning of each hybrid to be repeated four times on the test plot. In addition Mr. Lewis discussed with D. D. Miller his pasture improvement demonstration to be conducted in co-opelration with the Virginia-North Carolina Plant Food Institute. Another farm visit made by Mr. Lewis was that of Clifford Miller’s where Manager G. M. Black is interested in obtaining better pasturage for the dairy cows at Mt. Vernon Stock Farm, While visiting in Rappahannock Mr. Lewis gave the following observations of farmers in different sections of the state having Ladino Clover Orchard grass pasture : 1. A Mr. Hunter, near Holland, has 16 acres of Orchard grass Ladino clover pasture on which in 1949 he grazed 36 to 38 Guernsey and Holstein cows from April to Noyemer. 2. Mr. B. G. Locker of Glasgow, produced 700 to 800 lbs. of beef per acre from Ladino clover orchard grass pasture. 3. In spring 1949 Long Bros, of Luray who had what was considered to be good permanent pasture seeded 15 acres to ladino clover-orchard grass. When Messers Long turned their 20 to 25 dairy cows on this ladino clover orchard grass in August, milk «s=\ fhe Virginia Department of Agriculfsnd Immigration mokes a yearly check >i seed tags for completeness and corecfnesS.

This increase in production which was had through August, September, and October says Long Bros., “Paid for labor, seed and fertilizer cost, etc. in making the stand.’’ 4. On a 11 acre ladino clover orchard grass pasture a Mr. Warren of Mecklenburg county pastured 19 seven-hundred pound ! yearling steers, 23 hogs and a few mules. During hot dry weather the hogs were removed from ladino and put back after the ladino had recovered from rain. 5. On the first eight acres of ladino clover—orchard grass pasture seeded by Turpin Willis of Culpeper, grazing for 48' cows was otained for a total of 60 days while of course he grazed less cows at intervals to allow the pas# ture to recover. 6. William Smith also of Culpeper, finds that his cows obtained their fill on ladino clover— orchard grass in 11 hours . . .rest of the time in the shade resting and making milk while on the old permanent pastures it took same number of cows 5 to 6 hours to get their fill of grass. Mr. Lewis advised that farmers seed 25% to 50% of their total pasturage to ladino clover’orchard grass. The limiting factor being an insurance against the farm because over stocking during a drought. Of course any farm might become over stocked during a drought even when there is only old type pastures as was the case in 1930. Mr. Lewis simply doesn’t want farmers to become over enthused by the carrying capacity of the ladino cloverorchard grass pasture, in view of the current high cost of dairy and beef cattle particularly.

Bee Troubles Forseen Because of Mild Winter Virginia’s bees are likely to be in trouble, because of the mild winter this year,' warns J. M. Amos, insect and disease specialist at VPI. , He explains that normally bees will pass the winter in better condition if temperatures are 2 cool instead of un sually warm. j In warm weather, the colonies be- j gin to raise young bees abnor- j mally early, and will consume un- ; usually large amounts of honey 1 and pollen. It doesn’t take long to exhaust all the reserve food in the colony, and the bees starve. The danger months are March and April, so Amos advises beekeepers to examine the colonies early to determine if they are in need of feeding. Anytime there are less than 15 pounds in the hive, the colony should be fed. The best artificial food for bees is a syrup made of one or two parts of granulated sugar to one part of water. Feed inside the colony, rather than on the outside in the apiary, beca se the weak colonies will be more likely to get their share. A bulletin entitled “B.eekeeping in Virginia” gives directions on how to feed bees, and other information on apiary managemeftt, and is available at the county agent’s office. r/G//r seropt /rsmxrs FOREST FIRES CAUSE A NATIONAL LOSS UP TO $45,000,000 A YEAR IWV r/p£ DONAHOE’S FLOWER SHOP MRS.
