Rappahannock News, April 13, 1950

Supervisors Petitioned To Reconsider Rescinding Fire Law Letters are being sent out from the office of the Commonwealth Attorney to members of the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors petitioning that the board reconsider their action at the meeting April 5 in rescinding the brusnfire boning laws. A delegation from the State Foiestry Office arrived Thursday morning to protest the action of tne board ip this matter and to emphasize the good that had been accomplished by the restrictions on brusn-burning to the hours 4 p.m. to midnight, March 1 to May lb. In a 3-1 vote, the board had Noted to rescind the brush-file regulations tor Rappahannock. .J. T. Cook of Flint Hill was the one opposing vote, with W. C. Campbell’ and II. B. Wood not voting. Since the dale of the rescinding of the l emulations, four large tires have taken place in the county: one on tne lands of Frank Kinsey, Henry Wharton and Dr. Hughes; one,on lands of Rector and \V. H. Massie near Amissville; one near Slate Milis, starting in Culpeper county; and one was repoi ted yesterday afternoon near Crest Hill. According to Chief File Warden Raymond Johnson, this same policy was tried in Hanover county, where the hoard of supervisors rescinded the file-hours law, •amf according to a report from the Attorney General, this was not allowed. The Attorney General's opinion on the case was that after the board iiad accepted the regulations as passed by the General Assembly, the law then became a state law and could not be rescinded by the local governing body. At the board. meeting April .7, when the 3-1 vote was east, the complaints were to the effect that some people like to bum brush in the damp morning Hours, and thatiat other times an approaching rain (not in scheduled hours) would make burning better than possibly later in the day. The fire wardens were told that the evening hours were set by law because winds seldom rise late in the day and that from 4 o’clock on toward nignt dampness increases. The laws^vere passed, state the fire WardensAto protect tile forests and property. The State Forestry Office represents a valiant fight 'o conserve the forests of the land for the present and future generations. The fire wardens know that since the laws have been in force, fire damage in the state has been reduced to one-tnird of the damage caused before the laws. In the last five years, since the laws have been enforced in Rappahannock, the annual loss by fire ha^ been kept below an average of 30 acres of woodland.

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 Cancer Crusade Opened By Prominent Speakers ” “We^want victory, and we will get it if we march along shoulder to shoulder without any hesitation to the goal that lies in front of us,” President Colgate W. Darden, Jr., of the University of Virginia, Charlottesville, told an audience of approximately 175 of the leaders of the 1950 Cancer Crusade from all over Virginia, who assembled at the Monticello hotel, Charlottesville, Friday evening, March 31, at the State kickoff meeting. The educational and fund-raising crusade will continue through the month of April. A highlight o^, the evening’s program was the presentation of the 1950 medal of the American Cancer Society to Dr. Edwin P. _ Lahman of the University of Virginia “in recognition of his important contribution to the control of cancer.” Dr. Lehman is professor of surgery and gynecology nad director of that department at the University of Virginia as well as chief surgeon and gynecologist for the University of Virginia hospital. At present he is serving on the executive committee and the board of ti ustees of the Virginia division, American Cancer Society, as well as on the executive committee of the national organization. The presentation was made by Ed Phillips, of Richmond, president of the Virginia division. Mrs. I. M. Hufford, of Alexandria, state commander of the Field Army of the ACS, presided, and the Rt. Re'. Monsignor Leo J. Ryan, vicar-general. Diocese of Richmond, gave the invocation. The assemblage was welcomed by Gus Tebell, mayor of Charlottesville. In stressing the importance of continuous" activity in combating cancer, Piesident Darden reminded his audience that nothing great was ever accomplished by one big effort, that great achievements come through mobilization and consistent effort. “What we need,” he said, "is enthusiasm such as that evidenced here, tonight to carry on the campaign.” He predicted that unflagging efforts n the part of many people will bring the defeat of cancer. Mr. Darden referred to what has been accomplished^ in liftingthe health and welfare of the masses in the United States, saying that it is greater than anything ever achieved in this country. The speaker said that we are so impressed with the capacity of people to bring destruction that we are apt to overlook the weapon that have been developed to benefit people and prolong their I NOTICE To Taxpayers Pursuant to Section 309 of the Tax Code of Vir- ' ginia, the Commissioner of the Revenue or a deputy will be at the following named places on the 1 dates specified to receive returns of tangible and intangible personal property and individual in- 1 comes and to transact any other business connected with the duties of Commissioner of the , Revenue.

Respectfully, R. L. MASSIE, CooaiuioDcr of tW Rwmm, R*pptluai<ck Coon 17 lives. “More has been learned about the natuie of diseases with which the medical profession has to deal, and we are developing the weapons that will deal with cancer.” Dr. Ojy R. Fisher, of Staunton, campaign chairman of the Virginia division, also addressed the gathering. “Cancer will hang crepe on eiery other door in America this year,” Dr. Fisher said. "One person in every seven who lives to the age of 40 will die of cancer, and 181 million people living now in the United States will die of the disease. More people tire living to ages when cancer strikes the largest number; consequently more people die of cancer than formerly. Also, belter diagnosis and more accuiate reporting of the disease no doubt account for some of the increase in the figures. ‘‘Cancer is a cell that obeys no physiological or- biological laws. They penetrate normal cells, take their food, and destroy them. Why cells do that we do not know.’’ The speaker declared that it is no more disgraceful to have cancer than it is to have tuberculosis,’ pneumonia, heart trouble or any other disease. He expressed the belief that if more publicity were given to the causes of people’s deaths when they die of cancer great impetus wo-jld be given tov the program for cancer control. Dr. Fisher discussed briefly the seven cancer danger signals: sores and ulcers that do not heal readily, rapidly discoloring or growing moles or warts, indigestion that does not respond to proper treatment and diet, and lasts longer than two weeks, hoarseness, protracted coughs with blood-tinged sputum, unusual secretions and changes in bowel habits. Skin cancers are the most curable of all cancers, the doctor -.aid, pointing out that 98 per cent of them can be cured. Between the ages of 35 and 55 more women have cancer than men, but after 55 more men die with it. If discovered early, cancer is one of the most curable of all diseases. Dr. Fisher warned against drugs and salves as “cures” for cancer. There are only three things that cure cancer—surgery, X-ray and radium. “You have a great message of hope to carry back in this campaign,” Dr. Fisher asserted. He based his statement on the fact that all types of scientists are combined to solve the cancer problem as they have never been united before. L. H. Peterson, of Charlottesville, managing director of the Virginia division, read a letter of good wishes from Gen. William J. Donovan, national campaign chairman. * Assistant 4-H Leader Named By Extension Miss Mary Lucille Graves, of Martha, Tenn., a 1343 graduate of the University of Tennessee. has been appointed assistant State 4-H club leade , effective May 1.

Down Atlanta way a 50-year old woman was arrested Tuesday on a charge of selling liquor, and went off to jail hugging a flour sack containing more than $50,000. The lady spent the night in an office—not a cell—at police headquarters. Detectives said they worried ‘‘about what might happen to that money'* if the lady were locked in a cell with runof-the-mill inmates. Despite a raw Sunday, visitors by the thousands saw Washington’s (D.C.) Cherry BJossoms. It’s now been learned that Yukio Ozaki, 91, Japanese patriarch, who gave the trees ' the United States at .the time he was Mayor of Tokyo, is coming to Washington soon to see the famed Cherry trees. He sent the trees as an expression of'gratitude for President Theodore Roosevelt’s mediation in the Russo-Japanese war in 1905. “If it hadn’t been for this mediation, Japan would have been thrashed,” Ozaki writes, "The Japanese didn’t realize this . . . but I thought something must be done to thank the U.S., so I sent some cherry saplings.’’ -¥—* * " There are still some of us who get a good belly-laugh from those old spoonerisms, regardless of their age. They tell that the name is derived from Rev. William A. Spooner of Oxfoid, England, ( 184 41930) who was addicted to the “accidental transposition of letters in successive words,” thereby having his name perpetuated in a common noun. No one has stated definitely whether or not he was the Re\. who, after performing a wedding ceremony, asked, “Is it kistomary to cuss the bride?” But he might have been.

No Fatal Accidents In Five Virginia Counties Despite a staggering toll of 810 highway deaths for Virginia during 1949, five Virginia counties had a clean record, according to Col. C. W. Woodson, Jr., Executive Chairman of the Governor’s Highway Safety Committee and S> perintondent of State Police. Counties experiencing no deaths within their borders were Fluvanna. King and Queen, Mathews and Richmond. Although no deaths occurred within territory comprising Washington county, three were scored against the town of Bristol and one against Abingdon with which the county cannot be officially charged. Leading the list were Norfolk and Princess Anne with 30 each. Fairfax was next with 25 followed by Warwick which saw 24. Col. Woodson stated that Fairfax showed a substantia] reduction of her 1948 figure and Norfolk kept pace with rising traffic volumes, while both Warwick and Princess Anne showed heavy increases with Warwick jumping from eight to 24. However, Col. Woodson pointed out that each of these areas is subject to dense traffic and unusual conditions. On a death-per-\ehicle-mil« ba*- ' i.«. Surry county with seven deaths had the worst rate; Bland was second with four and Stafford third with 21. In quoting these statistics, Col. Woodson added that in low-mileage counties death rates can be misleading as one multiple-death crash can skyrocket the death rate figure. In the large-city bracket, Norfolk hit a high of 22 which was for more than 1948’s score; Richmond was next with 18, two more than in 1948; Roanoke was third with 10, a 50 per cent increase, and Portsmouth fourth with an increase of from four to five. The only city with a population of. more than 10,000 to .have a clean, slate was Fredericksburg. Petersburg experienced only one death which compared well with the seven of last year. Stating that traffic volumes for 1949 were 12 per cent higher than those of 1948 and, for 1950, eight per cent above Chose tof 1949, Col. Woodson again called for more voluntary obedience of traffic rules by the general public. Deaths for 1950, he said, stand sligthly abo^e those for the same period of 1949. looking so ghum, replied that he had “just received a blushing crow.” . * * * The American Legion is beginning their project of beautitification of the highways of the county.

In the season of bloom she knew it would be fatal to move them, so she took herself upon a hike and tied rags around the ones desired, the proper number of dogwood and the proper number of red bud. When an appropriate time arrived for the moving, there they were, all marked. It is stil! a good idea for tho-e w' o can't tell the trees when not in bloom.

A—The origin “to die” is not known for certain. In one of its senses bucket means a beam or yoke, on which something is hung or carried. In parts of England, bucket is the common word applied to a beam. Pigs are hung from such a beam by their hind legs with t.ieir heads down and when they are killed, they kick the beam or bucket. Another theory says the phrase refers to the method of committing suicide bv standing on a pail or bucket, tying one end of a rflpe ground one's neck and the other to a beam, and the kicking over of their eket. 8—L Class News On Friday, April 7, Lois Racer and .Jean Hawkins sang- in the Faster Cantata at the Baptist ohurch in Washngton.

Smith, Jr., associate horticulturist at V.P.I. lit- .-•ays the flats should be small, not over two inches deep, with ample cracks in the bottom fo.r drainage. Fill 1£ inches deep with a mixture of screened loam and leafmold, or loam and old manure. Sow seed thinly in rows, and water with warm water. After the seeds come up, and when the soil is not wet, scratch between the rows with a pencil or ice pick. Water between rows, and let the water soak into the little trenches. Leave base of plants dry, and keep in the sun as much as possible. Thin plants if they are crowded. As soon as they are large enough to handle, lift ‘with point of knife and transplant. Put them in other flats two inches apart, or in plant beds. Avoid the use of manure and nitiogen fertilizers while the plants arc in flat.-, or pots. If the plants lack greyn color, stir one teaspoon of 5-10-0 fertilizer in a' quart of water. Rooted cuttings of hardy chrysanthc-nT ms should always be grown in flats or pots until they develop strong roots. They may then be planted in the flower horde!' with little chance of loss.

Let's Stump the Experts (An Editorial) Americans have never resented the man with the slide rule, the expert who predicts things to come with the aid of a chart and a graph and the children of average men sliced qui-tly into fractions. We know that when we have a mind to we car. upset what the expert predicts. We have done it before. And in the case of cancer we know we must do it again. We must upset these heartchilling statistical predictions. “If present rates continue, 22 million Americans now living will die of cancer. It will strike in one of every two homes. Half of the victims will be e. rable. But only one-fouith are now seeking medical treatment soon enough to avoid unnecessary deaths.’’ But who says whether or not “present rates’’ WILL continue? The experts? No, You! And your answer will be revealed by whether or not you learn the seven danger signals that may mean the beginning of a cancer, by whether or not you have a thorough medical checkup often enough. Your answer too will be revealed by how you support the American Cancer Society’s program. Forbiinately this April, officially designated by President Truman as Cancer Control Month, it looks as though your answer is going to be “fewer unnecessary cancer deaths.” It looks as thpugh you—by contributing generously—will expand the American Cancer Society’s program of displays, pamphlets, movies, radio programs and just plain neighbor-to-neighbor explaining of the facts about cancer. It looks as though more and more hospital reports will proclaim the triumph of education, “Cancer patients are presenting themselves earlier in their disease.” It looks as though the expert predictions may be wrong. The American Cancer Society says you can make »jre they are by giving to the 1950 Cancer Crusade to expand the education which prevents unnecessary deaths. Everyone can make the ACS slogan “Strike back at cancer” a reality by giving too for research and service to cancer patients.

Disadvantages of this type are: (1) Theie is considerable expense in continuously replacing the heavy poles, (2) An old sow and pigs can run under one, (3) A bull buyer won’t come but once if you ask him t; open one/(-t) Doctor bills resulting front injuries in opening these gates are high, (5) N'o insurance company will risk a person who habitually tries to. open one. 1 In light of the above, you can decide for y> r self._ I have discontinued my study of this type. Type B—The Sagging Susies® The same general principles are involved in building this type as in Type A, however, there are some very essential differences which should be considered before attempting to make a satisfactory Sagging Susie. These are: (1) Poles should be either too little, se\erely bowed like this ( ), or like this ) (; or-same people prefer poles too short or broken. Poles should never be replaced— always wropped with some hay wire, or put together with 20penny nails. (2) Wires should always be loose. (2) Latches should be made of rope or N’o. wire; hnwcvi r, latches are not too inis portar.t a most Sagging Susie advocates do not stem to ear* whether they are open o: 'hut.

WOODY SAYS 9 fl m • EUED m Y* BURN 68 ACRES EVERY MINUTE Egg Prices Expected To Continue Low Egg prices in the spring months —a pei !<><J of seasonally large product,on—are expected to continue substantially lower than in 1949. D. U. Livermore, VPI poultry marketing economist, commenting on estimates from the United States Department of Agriculture, said that February egg prices received by U.S. farmers were ‘29 per cent lower than a year ago. This relationship is expected to coni in ue throughout 19.">(). The average L'.S. egg price in mid-February of 29.0e per dozen was ; e lowest in about six years. The hen, meanwhile, set a new high in February egg production for the sixth conset- tive tiyie. Egg prices strengthened during the tirst three weeks of March when tei initial w holesale qu ta9"-' adc anced 2 to 0 cents above the low levels of. mid-Fehraary. 1 ■ ■ i,- caused by , seasonallv high movement into cold storage, Livei na 11- said. t oid Storage stocks of shell — g- 1 ' March 1 -tood -,t TlM.imO’ cases, a figure live times that ■ ago. sj no 1rI_-yr;ic a'CC1T.,'iYi * '• * '• for Mai eh 1. : - i'7:!,(i|iii.

The USDA report indicates that a heavy in-movement of frozen eggs to cold storage continued in March. On March 18, storage holdings in 35 cities were 36 per cent above a year ago. Facto! s affecting egg prices for tie i c.-t of 1950. as listed by Livermore, are a large! number (if layers than last year, probable high rate of lay per bird, and large storage holdings which will supplement fresh egg production e : :i the last half of the year. Ho a ever. farmers nave said they intend to raise fewei pullets this spring. If this occurs, the excess egg supply situation should he somewhat less price-depressing ; \ f.i ', hen pre.-ent hen numbers are ieplaeed by the expected smaller number of pullets now bein': raised.

New Field Station Opened At Warsaw A new field unit of the Virginia Experiment Station is being opened near Warsaw in Richmond county, and varietal tests will be-, gin there this season. H. L. D u n t o n, head of the agronomy department at VPI, says the unit includes aboot 40 acres of open land and 10 acres of woodland. The unit takes the name and the place of the Eastern Virginia Field Station at Williamsburg, and the station formeily located at Bowling Green. The-Williamsburg station will be closed at the end of the 1950 growing season. H. N. Camper, assstant agronomist at Williamsburg, will be in charge of the ,new station. Soils mainly are of Sassafras fine sandy loam, and are adapted to almost any type of crop. The topography of the land is uniform and very good for experimental work. The varietal tests there will be the first conducted in that area of Virginia, and are expected to lead to better crop varieties for Northern Neck farmers. Later, the tests will expand to include fertilization, weed control* and pasture work. Crops to be grown there this season include corn, spring oats, red clover, soybeans, tomatoes and sweet potatoes. The truck gardening work will be un^er the supervision of Dr. F. S. Andrews, associate horticulturist at VPI.

Coaxed by driving rains, billions of soil particles run off to muddy creeks—leave the farm forever! Fortunately, you can fight this mass migration of topsoil, fertilizer, and organic matter by working your ground on the contour. Of course, contour farming may not in itself < urb emsion completely. It works hand * in c'lj-.e v iui terracing, strip cropping, crop rotation, vegetative gully control, and seasonal cover crops, however, to "hog-tie” uneasy hillsides. You can adapt your land to contour farming with regular tractor equipment, even to sucn specialized soil-saving jobs as gully filling and terracing. Working together with your local agricultural experts you can hold your hillsides and hoist your profits by farming on. the contour.
