Rappahannock News, March 30, 1950

‘Crosby Day' Will Feature World Premiere of “Rising High” The people of Rappahannock have been extended an invitation to help in the welcoming by this section of Virginia to Bing Crosby at Front Royal Saturday. Here as the guest of Senator Raymond A. Guest, Bing Crosby will be present at the dedication of the “Bing Crosby Stadium’’ and for many other appearances during the day, including the premiere of his latest movie, “Riding High,” at Park Theatre Saturday evening. The parade, with 97 units, will begin at 11 o’clock Saturday morning, starting at the railroad station and proceeding up Maim street to the stop-light, and, turning right, will continue north on Royal Avenue (toward Winchester) until it turns directly to the stadium. Reported to be the largest unrehearsed parade ever to be staged in this section of the country, the bands, floats, and visiting fire companies will form an hour-long procession. Bing Crosby will be at the end of the parade, and if anyone gives him a wise-crack about following the example set ■by his horses in bringing up the rear, not a single native Virginian will claim the ill-mannered blackguard. The entire afterneon .will be given over to entertainment in the stadium. At 1 o’clock Bing Crosby will dedicate the stadium, at 2:15 there will be an exhibition of trained trick horses, at 3:15 there will be a baseball game, University of Virginia versus Front Royal. There is an admission charge for the baseball game and for the dances at night; 7:30 to 11:30, Bing’s Barn Dance, at Warren County High School gymnasium, and 3 to 12 o’clock at TWUA Hall, Bing’s Square Dance. Virginia’s Famous Skline Caverns will hold “open house,, from 1 o’clock in the afternoon to 6 o’clock in the eveping, with no admission charges. A good recommended vantage point from .which to view the parade has been suggested as along Main street, and since everyone will fall into line at the end ...of.. the parade to go to the Jtadium for the dedication ceremonies, it is suggested that good substantial breakfast will be a prerequisite, or else carry a quick lunch in your pocket. - There will be plenty of time to get situated in the stadium after the parade is over. There will be prizes for the best decorated windows in the stores of Front Roval. Additional prizes are being offered for floats and units in tlTe parade, and there will be a special cake baking contest at Warren County High School early in the morning with the winners announced at 2:30 in the afternoon. The special matinee of “Riding High” will be shown at 3 o’clock at the Park Theatre to 550 children of Warren and surrounding counties, including Rappahannock. The tickets for the premiere were all sent out early this week. Bids placed the seats at $5 and up, and it is understood that some of the late arrivals in the $5 class missed out. MRS. GEORGE H.

PARK THEATRE FRONT ROYAL First Showing World Premiere Saturday At Regular Prices Sun.-Mon.-Tues. a 2 - 3-4 Special Matinees Sunday -2. and 4 p.m. Regular Sunday Night, 9 p.m. Monday - Tuesday APRIL 3 - 4 Matinee: 3 p.m. Night: 7 and 9 p.m. Timely Information From The H. D. Agent's Office Changing window proportions, the whole room can be changed by altering the-windows. Windows can be made wider by placing a block of wood, 3 inches to 4 inches outside the frame at the height by placing a board the height desired above the window. Both the height and width of the window can be changed by placing a board above the window on the wall and out from each side 3 inches to 4 inches. The draperies should cover the window frame. The balance should be placed above the boar<Land extended to each outer edge of the frame with added width. To make your own cornice you use a 5 inch thin board that is attached to the top of the window. A rod is provided for each pair of curtains. An extension rod may be used if you prefer. The cornice is made on buckram that is bought 24 inches wide. Usually the width of the cornice is 8 inches or 12 inches. Thus two to three strips of cornice can be made from each width of buckram. Cut the fabric 2 inches wider than the buckram and line it to keep the light from showing through. When made, the buckram is pushed between the lining and covering and the cornice is pressed with a hot iron over a damp cloth. The buckram is placed even with the top edge of the board, and the cover is thumb tacked to the top of the board. Then crease the comer in. Make a sharp edge. An off center window can be made to appear centered by the use of an extension on one side only. If a comice is desired, a board 3-8 inch thick, 5! inches wide and as long as the window plus the extension block is screwed to top of the window. * * * An ordinary grape basket or strawberry box, painted a solid dull color makes an interesting container for a small potted plant.

Addressing the envelopes and,index according to the date they should be mailed. Results . . . big dividends in friendship and good will. ¥ ¥ ¥ You’ll never lose your pie plate v at a church or community supper if you don’t take it. Make your pie on a plate lined, with, aluminum foil. After the pie is baked, slip the pie in foil on a piece of cardboard. ¥ ¥ ¥ Want to dress up your left over creamed potatoes? Here are three suggestions: Mix cooked, chopped bacon with potatoe.s. Bake until eggs are set. Grate cheese added just before the dish is removed from the stove adds to the flavor. Shape potatoes in balls. Roll in crushed corn flakes. Rake on a greased baking sheet for 15 minutes. Serve piping hot, or put creamed potatoes between slices of pressed canned veal or ’ ' nf. Pnkn in moderate oven. Life Expectancy How long will a borne freezer last? A conservative answer is 10 years, says Earl McCracken, phvsiist for the Bureau of Human Xutrition and Home Ec. of U. S. Dept, of Agriculture. Rut no one can predict accurately bow long a freezer should last because freezers have not boon in use enough years to get average life figures. Dr. McCracken uses the 10-year figure in computing the costs of operating a freez.er at home. But some freezer experts and manufacturers count on 121?, 15. and even more years for the life of freezers. Home freezers now on the market should be expected to last longer than those made a few years ago because many of the faults of the earlier models are being and have been corrected. Ensemble for Sewing From needles and pins to the sewing machine, the right sewing tools are important for time-saving and fine workmanship, says Margaret Smith, clothing specialist for the Bureau of Human Nutrition and Home Economics, U.S. Dept, of Agriculture. As yard-* goods counters blossom with summer fabrics, home sewers will welcome some of her suggestions. Miss Smith recommends crewel needles, especially if you have trouble threading them. The eyes are larger and the needle itself is slender. Size 10 needles are b^pt for fine sewing and moat light summer fabrics. Dressmaker pins size 16 are the slim kind that do not make holes in materials. Be sure pins are clean. If they’re rusty or dirty, better discard them and buy new ones, the specialist counsels. A seam guide for the sewing machine is more help than most women realize. It’s a small attachment that screws in place beside the needle and keeps teams an even distance from the edge. For good sewing it’s really a “must” she declares. A couple of new items from notion counters -will appeal to many home sewers. Ono is a folding cutting board, which provides a spacious flat surface for pattern cutting and protects table tops. The board is not an expensive buy and it folds conveniently for storing. Dressmakers’ carbon paper along with colored chalk pencil is handy for marking notches and darts. With the carbon laid face up underneath, two matching pieces of fabrics can be marked' at the same time. Miss Smith prefers the pencil to cutting notches with scissors. Cutting notches outward is a nuisance. And notches c-’t into the edge reduce the seam allowance. Two rulers . . . transparent ones if possible are helpful sewing aids. A six inch ruler is good for measuring hems and making corners accurate. An 18 inch ruler or a yardstick is handy for laying patterns on the straight of the material. One hundred pounds of digestible nutrients from good permanent pasture will cost only 50 to 60 cents.

However^ because the accused pleaded guilty, court was not held, so the pupils began their tour by attending for a short time, a census meeting. They then visited the Commissioner of Revenue’s office; the county agent’s office; and the Home Demonstration Agent’s office, where they enjoyed a brief but thorough speech by Miss Sollenberger. At the clerk’s office, they were allowed to look up severa' wills, deeds and marriage licenses. In the treasurer’s office tax books and dog tags shared the limelight. Next stop on the town was the First National Bank, where several questions which had to be answered in class were answered by Mrs. Bruce, and Mr. Johnson demonstrated the sound of a bur... glar alarm. After looking through the county jail the Seniors hurried back to school. The pupils learned much about the working of county government and are very grateful to the persons who gave of their time to answer their numerous questions.

At this meeting we decided to rent a five acre piece of land from some one and put out a cron of corn next year on shares.

Character Sketch Our heroine, Miss J., is, at 17, a well-rounded girl. In her favorite sport, basketball, she rates as a star player who led the Panther girls in points made last season. Miss J. captains one of the softball teams. And as for lessons—Miss J. is on tne honor roll and while she continually confesses to her pals that she didn’t study enough last night, her fears prove groundless as she comes through with Hying colors. She is a fiery advocate of equal rights for women and a better school system in Virginia. When Miss J. is feeling great, everybody within shouting distance will soon be made aware of this fact. The mere thought of another dance at V.P.I. is enough to make her jubilant. As sports editor for the L.W.P. and the school annual, she accumulates numerous gray hairs. No sketch of senior J. Ellen Worth would be complete unless we mentioned her talent, singing, and her ambition to study music and voice. Good luck, Jo., in your career. We’re in your cheering section.

Well, here goes: One day you’re going to make a startling discovery for you’re going to find out or, rather, realize that all your life you’re going to have to live with yourself. If thus far you’ve lived on the surface, everything you’ve done has been mere actions or words to impress others. You’re due for an abrupt awakening. However, remember the past has past, your future is before you. Begin now and think of how you. can make yourself a better person to live with. Figure out what you’re actually interested in and then cultivate these interests. Understand your ambition and aims. As you progress in this seif study, .-elf-respect, not self-love, will become prominent and will guide you in choosing your way. This project of delving into your soi. 1 is not a selfish one for it is only after you have set your own house in order that you may undertake to set other’s in order. It is only through understanding yourself that you can understand others. Assembly Program Last Tuesday we were delighted to have another of the Southeast Assembly programs at Washington High School.

Rappahannock News Published Thursday Morning at Washington, Rapjfeihannock 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 Facts On The Census By: Malcolm Moore Every decade the United States Government takes an authentic survey of the entire ‘state of the Union.’ The purpose of a census of this sort is obvious. It is t<J show where we, you and I, stand among ourselves and where y/e, collectively, stand among other nations. By a cross-section of this kind, we are able to present an average to aid every farmer, landowner, merchant, in short everyone is figuring his standing in his own community. But the main reason for a census is for comparison with the preceding census. We are certainly more advanced, materialistically speaking, than we were in 1940. Our Survey is more than just a ‘counting of heads.’ The government knows there are approximately 151 million citizens living in America. Rather each citizen will be asked his name, age, sex, race, marital status, occupation, working hours, income, and whether he owns his own home. However, only one person in five will be asked about his income and only one in thirty concerning his marriage. This is expected to give an accurate sample and save the taxpayers money. The census begins on the first •day of April and in order to make the effort successful we should give the agent all the help possible. There is no need to be reticent, or hold back any information because, to the government, you will be primarily a number. Xo names will be involved. This is assured as census takers can be fined 11,000.00 or jailed for 2 years for disclosing any information. This mass feat of tabulating will be very beneficial to all. After the survey is over, the government will spend three years compiling facts and data. This is a vast undertaking and proves that the United States government, despite its many drawbacks and psuedo faults, is the most efficient government in the wot Id. Wo can do our part as citizens by giving them all the information requested. I The Time Hat Come/ j the Walrus said . . The opening of spring means that auction sales will start up again. There are two scheduled within riding distance of us this Saturday—but -ow can a fellow see Bing Crosby and attend two sales at the same time? One of the sales is at Bolivar, near Harpers Ferry, and the other is at Big Spring Filling Station, 4 miles north of Luray. Both of them list antiques and ah! that intriguing item “other articles too numerous to mention.’’ Anyone who attends auction sales oughta’ have his head examined. Make an appointment for me at the same time you arrange yours. * * * * This is one deviation from the usual trend to pick on poor ole’ Bill Lyne, the county agent. This time the sentiment is actually pity. After all his crusading, begging, pleading, and cajolling with the farmers of the county:. “Please don’t burn the broomsedge; cut it and let it form food for the pitiful soil,’’ what do you think they did Monday night? Called him out to help fight a sedge-burning fire that got out of hand! They say most of his language was unprintable— and who can blame him! It is only common sense to cull the farm woods as you cull the poultry flock. Put the culls on the wood pile. Keep the good trees to grow’ into sawlogs, veneer logs, or some other valuable product.

Facts and Figures On Real Estate Taxes Real estate in Rappahannock county is assessed at approximately one-third of actual value. The last re-assessment of real f estate .was made over 20 years ago, according to the best information available. There was an equalization board in 1944, composed of J. Rodes Brown, L. R. Hudson, and Will Sutphin. This b'bard tried to correct inequalities in assessment of real estate and to add tracts of land and buildings not assessed. Working 30 days, by their work they added approximately $3800 increase to annual taxes collected in the county. The Commissioner of Revenue does not change assessment value: . His duty is to add buildings and to make transfers on land books as tracts or parcels of land are sold. A local ordinance requires citizens of Rappahannock to obtain a building permit from the Commissioner of Revenue for any b ilding erected at a cost of more than $500. Unfortunately, this ordinance has not been observed and the Commissioner of Revenue does not have too much powder in enforcing it. Consequently, considerable taxes are lost. - The total assessed valuation in 1949 of land and improvements in Rappahannock is $2,607,386; personal property values bring a figure of $1,785,614, making a total of appi oximately $4,392,000. The tax rate has been $1.85 for all districts exee'pt Piedmont and Hampton; these two had a levy of $2 because of district road bonds outstandng. Hampton has now paid its road bonds and Piedmont has the load bonds outstanding. . For 1950 there is a proposed increase of 15 cents per $100 assessed valuation, making the rate in all districts $2, except Piedmont, which will be $2.15. Of course, no additional levy for reassessment purposes would be necessary next year or until another re-assessment was required by law. The rates for surrounding counties in 1950 are: Warren, $1.85 to $2.20, varying in districts; in Page, maximum $3.25; Culpeper, $2.40; Orange, $2.25; and Fauquier, $1.35. According to a law passed by the General Assembly of Virginia in 1946 there must be a general re-assessment of all real estate in Rappahannock in 1950. This may be done either with or without the assistance of the state office of real estate re-assessment in Richmond. In either case, a local board which has been appointed (Joe D. Keyser, E. M. Jones, C. E. Johnson, Jr.) has full charge of the re-assessment. The total cost of this re-assessment js estimated to be approximately $5,000. The board of supervisors of Rappahannock county has voted to employ an assistant from the state office to help the local board with the re-assessment. The first step in this re-assessment will be to prepare a sheet for each tract of real estate in the county from the county land book. This sheet will list the name of the owner and the acreage. The tax assessor then goes on the land with this sheet and with aerial photograph maps and lists types of improvement on the property, describing completely the number of rooms in the house, whether or not it has central heating and other conveniences, and the type of construction of the house and various outbuildings. Land is classified in 4 different groups: from highly arable to wasteland. By using aerial photos and by completely describing the type of land and improvements f>n it, a true assessment of real estate can be made. The tax assessor reports to the local board, which checks his work and goes on sufficient tracts of land to see that a fair assessment is made. The main purpose of the re-assessment is to see that all property in Rappahannock county is taxed fairly and equally. It is believed that enough property that is not taxed at all at present will be added to pay for the entire cost of the re-assessment. Have You Heard? Heard What? “The Campbells Are.

And properly harvested they reseed themselves. Public Assistance Is A Necessity By: Mr*. Elizabeth Buntin Up to this time I’ve been talking about Virginia’s sensible public assistance program and the need for enough money to give people the minimum essentials in food, clothing, and other necessities. Taxpayers in general are hard to convince. Looking at it from a purely impersonal viewpoint, we can’t blame them. Digging into one’s pocket hurts, as we well know. But perhaps a better acquaintance with the welfare program will make us more resigned to shelling out our hard earned cash even if we don’t develop any profound convictions about this business of public assistance. I think there is a real need for more understanding of public as-i sistance on the part of the community. We cannot truly help our clients until they have a feeling ^ of security that comes from the community’s understanding their need for assistance and wanting to help them. A client haunted by the feeling that he is a social outcast because he is of necessity a welfare recipient or that the pub 4ie beg.udges him his check ana may try to reduce or even cancel his grant cannot be a good citizen. What we are trying to do is give' people the tools to make themselves better citizens, but a client beset by worries about whether he is entitled to his grant and kept just above starvation by an inadequate grant is not in a position to help himself very much. He must have security first in order to plan his future. In spite of the fact that the Social Security Act was passed in 1,935, and Virginia set up its welfare machinery in 1938 based on the theory that public assistance is the right of the individual in need, I have the feeling that acceptance of this idea is far from general. Social workers inspired by this noble idea have forged ahead, not bothering to educate the public along their lines of thinking. Some have done a better job than others; thus, people’s ideas of social welfare vary from section to section and range all the way from medieval thinking to the most modern. Next time we shall see what some of these theories are. Did You Know In 1949 the American Legion sponsored: 16,000 baseball teams, having 750.000 boys on them; 4,000 Boy Scout troops; Boys’ State with 200 boys attending, including 412 Virginia boys.

As previously stated in this column, Newbill Miller and Bobby Atkins, Rappahannock 4-H members will show and sell their baby beeves - at Charlottesville. Indications are that a good many local citizens will be in Charlottesville to see these boys and their calves vie for top honors. a a Mr. Beatty of the Beef Cattle Section at the Beltsville Research Center, was hy the office Friday checking, on the location of twin calves reported in Rappahannock. Unfortunately ^none of the three sets of twins known to be in Rappahannock to date are identical, so we are still looking. Identical twin beef type calves are still wanted by the beef cattlemen at Beltsville for feeding tests, so, anyone knowing where such calves may be, are requested to report them to this office. Increased Forest Fires Reported For Last Year More fires—and more acreage burned in 1949 than in 1948— are reported from the offices of State Forester George W-. Dean in Charlottesville. Last year 1,601 fires burned over 12,131 acres, compared with 1,006 fires and 7,783 acres burned in 1948. Dean attributes most of the increase to irregular distribution of rainfall, which “while nearly normal for the year, did not occur at times favorable to forest fire prevention.” Increased carelessness on the part of smokers, was responsible for 507 fires, or aboiut 32 per cent of those burning during the year. The largest single fire was in Louisa county, and burned over 600 acres. The average size of all fires is reported as’ 7.5. WtfEM I GRoW UP... jj/VERY American boy dreams of being a policeman some day. Because a policeman is the hero who fights crime, yet still remains the child’s friend at the school comer. He’s the symbol of American freedom, where the law is the trusted servant of the people. It’s a lot different in police states, where the man in uniform is the symbol* of tyranny and oppression. It can’t happen here, you say? Yet many a country has been inched into a socialistic form of government, so slowly, so gradually, that its people were enslaved before they realized the danger . . . and all the while their leaders declared, “Everything is being done for the good of the people 1” Yes, even in the United States, we hear people say, “Let the government control certain industries and services. Let it begin by taking over the doctors, the newspapers, the railroads, the electric light and power companies. Government control is good for the people!” This is how a socialistic government gets its foothold. Remember this: Every time government gains control "of something else, you lose something—another liberty. Eventually government grows stronger, and the people become the slaves to the law. The friendly cop on the comer is replaced by the watchful agents of a t^powerful government. Who wants that kind of America? Nobody! Well, it’s up to you!

Northern Virginia Power Company OR YOUR ELECTRICAL DEALER Soil Saver Notes Soil Conservation Service technician, L. B. Henretty, gave an illustrated talk on the use of lime and fertilizer in soil and water conservation, at the George Washington Carver Regional High School Tuesday night, March 28. The talk was presented for the G.I. farm training class in charge of A. C. Washington. Technicians working in co-operation v-ith the Culpeper Soil Conservation District, work very closely with all the G.I. instructors and their classes. “Getting the young G.I. farmers started on a correct land use plan maes for a sound long time agricultural program,” says T. G. Ragsadle, Supervisor of tVp CoVener District. Dick Loving, owner of a small farm near Culpeper, established an open ditch drainage system on "" area of bottom land this week. The land had been in a near swamp condition for several years, and war useless from an agricultural standpoint. The drained area will he seeded to a recommended pasture mixture in late summer. ** Drainage work is dorie by means of a dragline, which actually cuts the ditch and places the dirt along the bank. When the dirt drys out it is spread to the low surrounding areas by means of a bulldozer. The ditches are designed in depth and width according to the amount of drainage area that they must drain. To provide good drainage the banks of the ditch must be lower than adjacent areas. High ditch banks brought about by the method of plowing the field and by continuously piling dirt removed from the ditch on the bank, has caused much of the trouble which ultimately results in sw-ampy areas. This condition is common on nearly every farm in Culpeper and Rappahannock counties in varying degrees. It doesn’t pay to judge by size. Sometimes even a woman’s thumb has a man under it. MRS.
