VOL. 1—NO. 21. WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY, MARCH 23, 1950 $2.00 Per Year -V County Horae Demonstfdtion NEWS P? Q State’ Miss Janet Sollenberger, H.A. Schedule for next week: F. T. Valley Home Demonstration Club No. 2 will meet at the home of Mrs. Milton Sisk, March 24 at 2 p.m. The demonstration will be on “Salads That Bring Nutritive Value into the Diet.” There will be a “Caning Chair” demonstration in Amissville. This demonstration will start at 9:30 a.m. March 30. All women that are interested in learning how to cane chairs ire asked to attend. The Sperryville H. D. club met at the home of Mrs. W. H. Lyne, March 14 at 2 p.m. The demonstration was on “What to Know in Buying Fabrics for the Living Room,” and was given by the agent. Most of the clubs that are organized in the county chose this demonstration for the month. Certain pointers were given to the club members to follow when buying fabrics for slip covers and draperies. They were as follow: (a) draperies are used to soften the 'line between the wall and the transparency of the windows, and to add color to the room, thus the fabric used should harmonize in texture, color and design with other furnishings, and the period of the room, (b) It must be durable, firmly woven, with no long floats that are easily pulled, (c) It must be a fabric that does not deteriorate easily when exposed to the sun moisture, air and dust, (d) It must be a fabric that is beautiful, one that will bring not only immediate but long time satisfaction. A slip cover fabric must be strong material that will stand much strain. The heavier and more firmly woven materials will not wrinkle easily, are free from excessive sizing, and dust resisting. It is wise to buy the best material you can afford unless yo»u< wish to use the slip cover f< r only a short while. When selecting either drapery or slip cover materials, if possible, bring one or two yard sample to try in the room. Figured materials show soil less than plain material used with a figure, (e) Both slip cover and drapery material should be one that is vat dyed and pre shrunk. This means that the material is nearly fast to tub and “light and ^won’t shrink more than 1 per cent. Some 'materialsare marked color fast or shrinkatized. This means that the materia! is only fast to the sun and is not guaranteed that it won’t shrink more than 1 per cent, (f) The material should be heavy to hang well for both draperies and slip covers, (g) Be sure the drape material you buy is at least 48 inches wide. An all over design or plain material works up to the best advantage. This is especially true for slip covers. So, if yo^ want to save material buy this type of material, (h) Don’t buy fabric that is less than 54 inches for slip covers, if possible. This works up to the best advantage. |j) When selecting fabrics for both slip covers and draperies be sure and pick 2 fabrics and not three or four to be scattered out through the room. For example, have the sofa a solid color and maybe two chairs in a figured material. The drapes could be the same solid color or figured material used on the sofa or chairs. Many samples of materials were shown that can be bought on the market now. If any of you readers, who are interested in doing something to y«ur living room want ideas on fabric selection you are. welcome to stop by the home agent’s office and look at the samples of materials she has; which are: vat dyed, pre shrunk materials, Zelon treated materials, glazed chintz, Keroseal plastics and McCordi Corp. plastics. Other help can be given you on this subject too. The Belle Meade 4-H Club met at the school, March 15, at 10:30 a.m. Jane Nichols, the vice president, presided over the meeting in the absence of the president, Jacob Sisk. The girls filled out enrollment cards for summer projects. Sweat shirts were given out to the members that ordered them. It was announced that if any members wanted ‘T’ shirts to bring 50c next time for them. The new 4-H leader for this clpb, Annie Perry, attended the meeting with the agent. It was decided by the club to subscribe to National 4-H News Magazine and send it to Miss Perry each month. The meeting ended with a fun hour of games. Home Owners Warned Against Unethical Termite Exterminators Many Virginia home owners each year are victimized by socalled “termite exterminators,’’ warns John Amos, insect and disease specialist at V.P.I. Amos says it is customary for most termite operators to give a five-year contract. The legitimate operator is one who is able to give a bank reference, has been doing business in the same area, usually for several years, and who has a reputation of living up to his contracts. He has a permanent business address and telephone listing, and does not solicit business from house to house. The V.P.I. specialist says that the Virginia State Pest Control Operators Association, an organization formed to promote a high standard of service, has gone on record as opposing the unethical practices, and is co-operating in keeping the inefficient operators out of business. The association members ask home owners to notify them when work is not satisfactorily done, either by members or non-members. A list of the membership has been sent to county and city health departments and Extension Service workers. Henry M. Glasgow, Salem, is association president. Amos also announces that another Pest Control Operators Shoit Course will be held at VPI this year, probably during the fall. It is held at the request of the association in co-operation with the U. S. Public Health Service and the Fish and Wildlife Service. Cancer Society Prepares For April Drive Mrs. H. C.

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 Unsung Heroes This county — not unlike all other counties—has it's unsung heroes: members of county boards managing public business. They are paid nothing, but even if the ealaries were enormous, they wouldn’t be sufficient to compensate for all the headaches and worries connected with the duties. For particular note here are the members of the school board. t_What seems an excellent suggestion is passed on at this time. Require everyone to attend at least one of the sessions of the school board. Let them witness the board members in one of those sweat-it-out meetings until after midnight—h earing complaints; trying to arrange bus schedules so 20 mothers and fathers won’t jump up and howl because a bus is re-routed to help four children; trying to solve problems in everything from where to get bus repairs to how to fix the sewage systems; trying to decide administrative problems, bearing in mind that as employers they must consider the welfare of the employees, as custodians of funds they must protect public funds and property, and as school trustees they must do what is best for the children of the county, To complicate matters, the board members are surrounded by rules and regulations laid down by the State. For all their work and worry, they know the answer: they will receive plenty of criticism; they’ll get cussed out behind their backs and to their faces; and on the occasions when things turn out well, they’ll get no credit and less thanks. They acknowledge they are “soft in the head” for ever taking the job, but someone has it to do, so they let their consciences override their selfishness, and they wade in—to do their best in a mean, thankless job. One of these days—it is to be hoped — every citieen will wake up to the fact that these members of the school board deserve the highest commendation for the r public service. Seed-Treating Cuts Loss Treat spring oat seed with new improved ceresan or ceresan M at least 24 hours before planting. That’s the advice of S. B. Fenne, plant disease specialist at VPI, who points out that seed treatment helps control the disease, Helminthosporium blight, and also controls loose and covered smuts, and aids in the control of root rots. Helminthosporium blight has swept the oat growing states the past few seasons, and has UNTREATED • The illustration above clearly shows what a difference seed treatment can make in the growth of a tomato plant. By similar treatment, Southern States protects beets, cucumbers, spinach, and many other PRE-TREATED vegetables against the ravages of common plant disease such as damping off or black rot. • In treating vegetable seeds, Southern States follows the recommendations of state experiment stations. Materials such os^Arasan, Spergon, Zinc Oxide and the new-type Ceresqn •are applied on the seeds before distribution to patrons. The extra small cost of Southern States Pre-treated Vegetable Seeds (just a few pennies) is well worth the extra protection it gives you when these seeds are planted. So don’t gamble with your garden. Be sure of bigger and better yields by asking ‘ for Southern States Pre-Treated Vegetable Seeds! / We Have A Good Supply of Garden Fertilizer ORDER YOU R SPRING SEEDS Now! Southern States Front Royal Service PHONE 105 FRONT ROYAL JfeliTM? Sorrico to Waakingtoa Ewy MtiLy County P.-T. A. With the school session of 195051 heralding in Rappahannock County High School, a suggestion has come forward that there will be need for a parent-teacher organization of the entire county for the new county high school. This will be independent of the separate P.-T. A.’s in each school (they are necessary in each locality) but the county-wide P.-T. A. will serve where all join for the one high school. The suggestion has been made that this new organization be one for business only, leaving the programs and social affairs for the individual school’s P.-T. A. After all, Amissville, Slate Mills, Forest Grove, Huntly, Flint Hill, Belle Meade, Castleton, Ben Venue, and every other community will be interested in Rappahannock County High School. Our high school of next year will be neither Washington nor Sperryville—it will belong to the entire county to see that Rappahannock County High School is a credit to all. Center of Population Moving Westward The Bureau of the Census of the U. S. Department of Commerce has announced that for over 40 years the State of Virgini was the geographical “center of population” of the United States. This period covers ithe censuses taken from 1810 to 1850 inclusive. In 1810 the center was in Virginia 40 miles northwest by west from Washington, D. C. In 1850 it had moved northwest to 23 miles southeast of Parkersburg, West Virginia, which state at that time wras part of Virginia. Frem 1860 to 1880 the center was located either in southern Ohio or just across the state line in Kentucky. From 1890 up tt and including the 1940 census the center has been in Indiana and slowly moving westward. The total westward movement from 1790 to 1940 was 602 miles. The total southward movement in this time was 22.5 miles. The term “center of population,’ as used by the Census Bureau, is that point which may be considered the center of gravity of the United States, in other words, the point upon which the United States would balance, if it were a rigid plane without weight and the population distributed ■thereon, with each individual assumed to have equal weight and to exert an influence on * a central point proportional to his distance from the point. The exact location of the new population center will not be determined until after compilations Lasel on the result of the 17th Deeennjaj Census have been made. _ This census will be taken during April, 1950. The accurate counting of every person including newborn babes will help to establish the new center of population. You, Mr. and Mrs. Virginia, are urged to cooperate. been responsible for large reductions in yield. Fenne says the seed may be treated several weeks before planting, if it is stored in a dry place out of the reach of animals. | ‘The Time Ha* Come* | s : | the Walrus said ... I i . i Let those who have no wail of toe now share the day with me. Lo, March is nearly gone and spring is sprung. “In spring a young man’s fancy,” etc., but who has fortitude for such? March means income taxes, new auto licenses, extra coal (for, though we had no winter, we likewise seem to have no spring, also). Oustom demands that the coming of spring and the Easter season necessitates a new wardrobe— from bonnet to toe. Yes, sir, March will surely leave the pocketbook as flat as the chest of an adolescent. * * * According to the Page News and Courier, Page county’s telephone discussion will come up in Richmond April 1. Page has a problem of toll charges between two towns in the county, but it is understood that the problem involves only one telephone company and not two, as is Rappahannock's problem. During a conversation Tuesday, our delegate reported on his interest in the county’s problem in the telephone. He said that he would be in Richmond on April 1 on business, and perhaps he will hear what luck Page county has in getting their tollfree telephone. He, like others, states that nothing definite has come up as yet. The last report was the letter received by Rappahannock Board of Supervisors from the Commission to the effect that they had requested the telephone companies to answer the request at their earliest convenience. * * We are going all-out for entertainments during the next week. Flint Hill P.-T.A. is giving their play, “The Campbells Are Coming,” tomorrow and Saturday at Flint Hill. Tuesday night the Lions club of Culpeper will bring their annual Minstrel to Sperryville (benefit of the Sperryville Volunteer Fire Department) and next Friday the Flint Hill P.-T.A. will bring their play to Washington, benefit of the fire company. * ¥ * The society for the prevention of cruelty to dumb animals is going: to get Bill Lyne. To begin with, he jumps the poor, innocent, hard - working, well-meaning-but-limited editor of the county paper because that item about brush fires got overlooked. One of the printers at the News office says now whenever he sees a burned-over field, he blushes with guilt as if he had struck the match himself. In fact, all of us may develop inferiority complexes (or something) if Lyne doesn’t stoP-jicking on-whThe latest piece of his heckling comes with the question: “What has Janet Sollenberger got that I haven't got?” Of course, he got a quick answer to that one: “I wouldn’t know, but you might ask over at the bank.” Then Lyne continues. “Home demonstration news gets put on the front page all the time and my writings get stuck back in some corner and completely hid.’’ There ain’t no answer, Mr. Lyne. * ¥ * It always seemed so nice and refined when ladies could have nervy s breakdowns.

A doctor’s favorite story runs on the subject of nervous breakdowns. An old fellow brought his wife into the doctor’s office because she had been acting so peculiar. “Nervous breakdown,’’ said the doctor.

Ain’t Science wonderful, my friends, With all those "Anti” drugs? —Amy Grief Ladino Acreage Expected To Increase This Year Acreage of ladino clover and orchard grass this year in Virginia is expected to jump to about 750,000 acres—an increase of 75,000 acres over last year, say Extension agronomists at VPI. The value of the increased acreage, they say, is seen in the answer to this question—-“What will a ladino clover and orchard grass pasture do for you?” In swine production, good pasture will reduce the grain requirements by 10 per cent, and the protein supplement requirements by 50 per cent. In raising pullets, the feed cost can be reduced by 10 per cent. On hundred pounds of digestible nutrients from good permanent pasture will cost about 50 to 60 cents: from a mixed dairy ration, it will cost about $5.00. A good system of pastures that will provide at least 240 days of continuous grazing will reduce the feed cost of producing milk by 20 to 25 per cent. As for beef cattle—you’ll be in trouble if you even try to produce them without good pasture. The agronomists point out that with an expected 10 to 15 per cent drop in farm income this year, farmers will have to use cheap, high-quality seed or their livestock if profits are expected.

Hill O’Bannon, Woodville, and Ned Jones, Washington, have recently completed ponds on their respective farms. The Jones pond comprising an area of approximately 1/4 acre will fye utilized mainly to furnish water for spray material, the pond being located in the orchard. The site of the O’Bannon pond is near the farm buildings and thus furnishes fire protection. The 1.2 acre pond will be stocked with 1200 Bream and 120 large mouth black bass. In connection with the construction of the O’Bannon pond the channel of a main stream was changed to attain better drainage of suirounding areas. The area which drains into the pond was also limited by relocating the stream. The owners of Fairview Farms, Inc., Culpeper, have cleared considerable land of pines and cedars and are removing! willows and other obstructions along an old ditch in preparation for the construction of an open ditch designed to carry the How. The cleared land will be seeded to a Ladino Clover and Orchard Grass mixture to pasture dry cows and young cattle. Soil Conservation Service technicians working in co-operation with the Culpeper Soil Conservation district have assisted the local PMA committee in contacting 180 farmers in Cidpepef County who are establishing Ladino clover and Orchard Grass pastures. The PMA committee allocated $12,000 for pasture seeding and improvement. Each farmer may receive assistance on a maximum of 5 acres. If you are easily bored, why not stay home?

But for weeks ’* jubilant admirers have felt it in the air. We pupils of W.H.S. have a special place in our heart for spring—for this is the season when we can excuse our mischievous actions by blaming them on ‘spring fever’. We feel free and unconquerable. Baseball uniforms, smelling of moth balls are proudly displayed by the Panther squad. . . .'. We are reminded that in i the spring a young man's fancy | turns ito thoughts of love . . . All worries are forgotten and f every prospect for the future, f seeming brighter than the sun, in at attempt to redeem itself for the dark winter days, bursts forth in brilliant, cleansing rays. Spring is regarded with a mixture of joy and of sadness, for it is during this season that some of us will receive our diplomas and leave Washington High. It is impossible to harness our thoughts by studying—the hardest lessons Seem trivial for through the window we can see the great outdoors beckoning. Spring! The season of great undertaking and of great accomplishments, is here. Glee Club News ^ Last Thursday the Washington High Glee Club recorded their second radio program for the year, which was broadcast over WFTR. The program began with the Glee Club singing two songs, “The Whiffinpoof Song” and “Bibbi di, Bobbidi Boo”. Next Jo Ellen Worth, soprano, sang a Very beautiful solo “Come To The Fair.” The play “The Unfinished Symphony,, gave a glimpse of Shubert’s hardships and made one realize that his entire life was devoted to music. Those taking part in the play were: Narrator—D. C. Link; Doc tor—Charles Scroggins; Shubert, Newbill Miller; Anselm—Winfrey Burke; Ferdinand—Shubert’s Brother—Robert Harrison; Publisher—Frank Goode. The program which lasted half an hour, was ended by “Fairest Lord Jesus” and Fred Waring’s arrangement of the “Battle Hymn” which was sung by the Glee Club, under the direction of Catherine Cahen. We realize that we are fortunate in having the opportunity to give a performance on the radio, and that the experience is beneficial to all who take part.

Speiryvil.e School Coal Oil Lamp—Gone With the advent of electricity, the coal oil lamp has been relelegated to an attic shelf and to a nailov. ed sp.,t in our memories. Of course, many of the older lamps are being wired and “shaded” for okectricity. Some of these older ones are really beautiful, with tlieir globes of amber or red or milky white adorned with pictures of flowers in color. Do you remember th'e hail ’.amps that were pulled down by a chain for lighting and then caref- lly “run up" again into placeonly to have to be lowered again to adjust ibe wick? What fun it was to see a sexton of the preelectricity days use a hook on a long pole to lower the chandiiier and then let it gradually ascend while the onlookers held their breath—and best of all were those tare times when one lamp in the group would “creep up’ right du.ing preaching, and the Service would be suspended while some ’..rave male “pillar” would correct the troubtle. Of all the thoughts concerning roal oil lamps the ones most firmly fixed in this oldster’s mind are those of having to clean them: first, filling the jamp with kerosene; then trimming the wicfc*with a pair of scissors kept for that purpose only —. not with a pipe stem a-s old Joe Dicken’s junk dealer did in A Christmas Carol; next washing the chimneys and polishing them with a soft cloth. Gone are the coal oil lamps for most of us, and, thank heaven, they took with them that sickenine odor of a eharied wick.

At the -beginning: of the Revolution, he was chosen as delegate to rep_recen‘ Kentucky. In 1778, -as lieutenant colonel, he raised a force of troops and began the conquest of the northvest liv capturing Kaskaskia from the FrencJ’.

In 1780 he accepted a command under Baion Von Steuben to defend Virginia against the British. Ten yfti s after the close of the war, he accepted a commission as major general to recapture Spanish posses ions on the Mississippi for the French, tint the plan was not carried outr- ' - He spent hr- lust days in the present state of Indiana on an < -date which was. a gift from the Virginia legislature. ¥ ¥ ¥ Last week's famous Virginian 1 as .John Sunith Pieston.

And Other Quality BUILDING SUPPLIES GEO. R. ROBSON & CO. Dial Culpeper 8000 RAPP - CHATS I By: W. H. Lyne | County Agent § - Farmers having pigs (from quality sows farrowing between March 15 and April 1, as result of service from a purebred boar) which will be for sale at weaning age (8 to 10) weeks please notify the county agent’s office. Indications are that a good number of high quality pigs will be needed as 4-H club projects to start in May. During the past three years it has proven very difficult to find high quality pigs for 4-H members planning to sell at the Orange Junior Fat Swine Show and Sale. Generally speaking our boys have been doing just as good a job as those from any other county When it comes to fitting and showmanship, however, more quality, usually a result of good blood, is needed if we are to improve our winnings. Rappahannock boys' have proven their ability as feeders, fitters and showmanship. Mr. Farmer . . . let’s help them by letting us know ■where the good high quality pigs are, that were farrowed between March 16 and April 1. Older pigs generally go past 240 before sale date (this year September 15) and younger ones are not permitted, according to sale rules. * * * Every, spring many farmers say “Damit Lyne, you tell me to use this or that Variety of corn hybrid and I can’t find it . . . now what in the Sam Hill am I gonna do?” Yes, it’s like getting caiught with your pants down and there’s not much that can be done when you do.

Agricultural Brass, or those supposedly in the know, say sheep are currently the best livestock investment a fanner can make. When such reports are being made and livestock market reports bear them out, peers to me our sheepmen should at least endeavor to maintain their flocks. Better check for bad mouths and udders when drenching your flock this month to determine which ones to market after shearing and then contact us about the number needed while the cheaper replacements are yet available. * * * A new drench is on the market that will get all types of internal parasites, even tape worms, its a combination of Phenothiazine and Lead Arsenate. Safe to use too, and fulfills its claims however, there is one consideration and one precaution about its use: course not needed if your sheep don’t have tapeworms, cheaper to use straight phenothiazine . . . then too don’t use it over once a year.
