Legion Begins Highway Beautification Project The American Legion, with able assistance, planted 65 trees and over 30 forsythia plants Saturday morning along the three roads out of Sperryville. The trees, mostly dogwood and a few beech, were planted on the Panarama road from Mrs. Swindler’s down to Sperryville, from Fletcher’s Mill into town, and from John Wayland’s on Route 211 into town. The 30 forsythia plants were set closer to Sperryville, following a plan suggested by D. N. Rock and Mr. Yowell, of the highway department, who said that the State always recommended that flowering shrubs and plants be kept nearer towns and the native trees be placed out on the highways. People who live near these newly-planted trees and forsythia plants are requested to look out for them as much as possible, and give them a drink of water unless this bad dry spell breaks with about three days of rain. In addition to the Legion members present for the planting, helpers included: Gene Wood, G. M. Black, Charles Brown, Peter Estes, Hugh Atkins, Bob Estes, C. E. Johnson, Jr., and Wigs Pullen. Legion members present Saturday morning were E. M. Jones, R. V. Snead, L. J. Kilby, Jimmie Atkins, Eddie Gore, and W. H. Lyne. Charles Wood has sent word to the committee of the American Legion working on the beautification project that when the program gets to the Flint Hill neighborhood, he wants to help. He has volunteered the use of a tree-digging attachment for a tractor. John R, DeBergh Buys W. G. Wood Farm John R. DeBergh was the purchaser of the tract of land known as the W. G.

Twenty-five guests were present at the shower. Local Views Answer Telegram Request K. V. Snead received a" telegram Tuesday urging that all citizens of Rappahannock send telegrams ~tu—the it representatives in Cdngress to vote fofc a balanced budget and cut out deficit spending. Tl:e following statement by Trial Justice B. M. Miller seemed to fall favorably on a number of ears—but it’s still a free country* and you can stick to your own opinion. Quoth Mr. Miller: “The Free State of Rappahannock is in full support of Senator Byrd, Senator Robertson, and Representative Burr P. Harrison. . . We trust them implicitly in their judgment on this retrenchment program to balance the b.dget and stop deficit spending. . . I used to disagree with Senator Byrd considerably but I've found out I was the one that was wrong. . . I’m reminded of a story told by a colored preacher once. lie said that any Power great eno.gh to control all the planets and keep each one in its own orbit during all these years was enough to convince him to put his trust in It. That’s somewhere near my opinion of Byrd ^ I’ll put my trust in his record.’’ “I don’t mean to bragg,’’ continued Mr. Miller, “but I think we are just about as well represented as any group of people in the country. In fact, there are none better.’’ . Fire Dept.

According, to an opinion expressed by the Attorney General, when the law as passed by the General Assembly was accepted by a majority of the governing body of a county, it then became a state law and the local board of supervisors had no power to rescind it. A fire was reported in Harris Hollow yesterday morning. When Fire Warden Raymond Johnson investigated, J. E. Keyser was most co-operative and extinguished the fire immediately, stating that he understood the hours had been changed and that he could burn hr sh at any hour. Two of the largest timber fires in the county were fought Sunday, April lfi. A fire on the Payne land near Crest Hill, in Flint Hill Neighborhood, burned over 125 acres, and about 70 acres of the land of J. U. Blankenbaker ami others near Laurel Mills was burned over. These estimates of acreage are counting brushland and woodland only, no consideration was made of open land burned. During the last two weeks there have been six fires in Rappahannock county necessitating firefighting crews. D ring these fires some of them have reached such proportions that a ci'ew from Fauquier was called in and on other occasions the Culpeper and Front Royal fire companies helped. The past six weeks have shown the largest fire-fighting season since the forest warden organization was set up. The dry weather and high winds have made fire control difficult. . Fire At Ben ‘ Venue A large fire was being fought all yesterday afternoon in the Ben Venue neighborhood. A 40-mile wind wf. whinping the flames but toward night it was beginning to look like the fire-fighters would win.

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 Public Assistance By: Mr*. Elisabeth Buntin This idea that people have a light to public assistance if they need it is a comparatively new one in the history of civilized man, but of course it is a development of all the thinking that nas gone before. And as we think about the various theories that have been popular in different eras, we can see reflections of them in the various feelings our neighbors express about social welfare. Let me say here that for the following history I am indebted to an article by Elizabeth and Karl de Schweinitz entitled “The Content of the Public Assistance Job”. It was in the 16th century that the government first began taking responsibility fbr those in need. In medieval times the feadal lord had taken care of those who lived on his fief and worked for him. These peasants were largely at his mercy; if he were benevolent, they fared well; if he were cruel, they suffered miserably. Since the common people were in fact slaves, the feudal lord’s help was a type of private welfare. We are not forgetting that the church has always been active in charity work, but we shall not say so much about that since we are thinking right now about the development of public welfare. Private aid wonted fairly well as long as people “stay put,’’ but when the feudal system began to break down and people began to move one community to another, there was real trouble. People began wrangling over who^e responsibility it was to help the poor. Finally in the 16th century the government first assumed the responsibility for helping the needy and the Elizabethan Poor Laws were passed. These laws recognized the necessity for helping the poor but they made almsgiving so unpleasant that the recipient hesitated to apply for help again, no matter how much in need he was. And the first Poor Laws passed by this country were modeled on These old English laws. In the 19th century people’s attitude towai d pmTeTty"changed again. People had gained politi cal freedom. The machine age had begun. The great West was being settled and the United States seemed to have unlimited resources. People found they could by their own efforts rise from rags to riches. Previous to this time there had been a well developed caste system, as there is in some countries even today. If a person was born in a low social class, he had to stay there the rest of his life. But now here was glorius freedom and people began to think that if a person stayed poor it was his very own fault. If he didn’t succeed then he hadnot worked hard enough, or he had been a spendthrift, a drunkard. Proverty ivas a sin in those days. Do we begin to see something that sounds familiar? in spite ol tne leeiing tnat there was unlimited opportunity, there were still poor people, especially in the crowded cities. Charity organizations designed to restore the miserable poor to self support sprang up. They reasoned that individuals could be reformed redeemed from the sin of poverty, so that they would not need financial assistance, Tly? social workers who tried to carry out these aims looked upon the relief provided under the Poor Lawtf as weakening, and encouraging idleness. They tried as much as possible to use the individual’s own recources, those of his family, and gifts froms friends and neighbors. But they were interested in restoring the .individual to self support, not giving him relief. They felt that money and services could not be given at the same time, as money would hurt the effects of the service. Of course today we recognize the necessity of both. As' time went on the workers began to see that the lives of indr iduals were influenced by their families and vice versa. They also found that their success in restoring individuals to self support was limited by conditions in the community. If there was a lack of employment no amount of social service did any good. If times were good and there were opportunities for employment, the number of people asking for help decreased. They found .that they needed more relief money than could be obtained from the client’s family and friends. They began setting up private funds for their use, but they found that even this did not give them enough money and that there was really no substitute for the public relief given by the Poor Laws, no matter how badly they were administered. But the charity organizations influenced the people to feel that private welfare could handle the situation and that public funds were not necessary, and people clung_o..these ...views a_.long-time, Some people still feel that public welfare is not necessary.

'The Time Hag Come,1 the W«lru« itid . . . “Aw-right,” states Henry Wood, sitting on the running board of his truck down at Woodville, “we’ve been having forest fires, but you can’t blame it on the board of supervisors. What we did don’t amount to a hill of beans, anyhow, and even though I didn’t hold with the rescinding of the fire laws, I still say there’s no use blaming the board of supervisors for something they didn’t do!” It's dry weather—and it’s been plenty dry—is the main reason for all the fires, continues Mr. Wood, and people’s carelessness in the forests is more cause of fires than any action taken by the county governing body. With spring a-eprung, we can get to the problem of seeding those bare spots in the yard. It’s a disheartening job, year after yea.. Patches of that desplicable frost-killed grass will creep into the lawn every year. What are they paying for chickweed per ton this year? That would seem to be the only chance to get any returns from the spring grass situation on some lawns— mine included. This annua] fight to get the yard looking decent always brings to mind the story told by the caretaker of one of those magnificent several-acre lawns which are the show places of England. When asked the secret of the beautiful sod, he replied: You seed the lawn, put on plenty of fertilizer, pull out' all the weeds, roll it well with a heavy roller, and keep it cut evenly, but not too short. Follow this practice rigidly every year, and after about 600 years you have a sod like this—and he pointed out over an old English estate. * * * Front Royal's Bing Crosby Day even broke The New Work Times. The following paragraph, labelled "Gratitude,” appeared in the column of A. H. Weiler in the Sunday edition of April 9: GRATITUDE—Bing Crosby is undoubtedly certain at this point that if you give you also receive. The eminent "Groaner,” partaking wholeheartedly in the innocent merriments attending the premiere of his film "Riding High” down in Front Royal, Va~, recently sang, rode in parades, kidded the kids and donated $3,600 of his own money toward building a recreation arena in the Old Dominion town. On the other hand, the grateful local burghers came back with a slew of assorted gifts for their crooning benefactor.,. Li>t among these presents, all of which were turned out by the citizenry, a case of apple and grape preserves; a hand-carved rolling pin; fifty feet of cement curbing; a roll of iridescent Viscose rayon; a hand-cared gavel to be used by Crosby when presiding over meetings with his four boys;- a case of honey; a pair of black suede shoes; plaster book ends; a wash cloth knitted by a 90-year-o!d lady; three loud sports shirts; a pipe; a patchwork cjuiIt; a cake; a scrapbook containing all the publicity on the festivities; lock wool asbestos (500 pounds) for insolation; a live turkey, and, naturally, a smoked Virginia ham. "Riding High” indeed! (A. H. Weiler—N.Y. Times) This is a special notice—and plea—to all citizens of Rappahannock, especially those of a lovelorn natuer. If you want your name in the paper (to impress your girl, 'or any other reason), just let Rappahannock News know about it. Please don’t take desperate methods—such as trying to rob yourself—just voice your wishes. Johnny Jenkins notified the paper once to the effect that he wanted his name in print, and it was a pleasure to accommodate him. lie also reported at the same time that John Turner wanted his name in the paper, too, and John’s Cancer Sunday To Be Observed In Vriginia Cancer Sunday -will be observed April 23 by churches and Sunday schools throughout Vlirginfa, as part of the 1950 Cancer Crusade which is being conducted this month by the Virginia Division, American Cancer Society. At these services emphasis will be laid o« the importance of the public’s co-operating with the fight against cancer by supporting the Cancer Society's program of research, education, and service. Special effort is being made to educate the public about cancer, its danger signals, and the necessity for early treatment. The crusade also includes solicitation of funds to finance the Society’s vast, program of research for simple methods of cancer cure and control, as well as the service program for cancer patients and the cost of administration and cancer literature. Governor John S. Battle is honorary chairman of the State campaign, and Dr. Guy R. Fisher, is State campaign chairman. Letter To Editor Culpeper, Va. April 15, 1950 Rappahannock News: I wish to congratulate Rappahannock county for having such a good weekly paper. Everyone in the county should take an interest in their county paper and get their neighbors to do the same. Trusting the merchants of Culpeper will continue to advertise in Rappahannock News. Very truly yours, Yowell Hardware Co., Inc. Per. John W. Yowell * * * Thank you Mr. Yowell. Rappahannock News appreciates all interest and encouragement shown in Rappahannock’s paper. Editor. Letter To Editor Since March 1 (47 days) my crew and I have attended eight different forest fires. Each fire burned anywhere from four up to 125 acres or more. This is the worst on my record since I have been fire warden. Before this I have never attended more than four fires a year. Sunday April 16, we attended two of our biggest fires this year. 1 urge the people to be more careful now than ever, because it’s so dry and windy, and fires start very easily and get a big start before yo.i can start fighting it. They are hard to control too. RAY T. CANNON Fire Warden.

With sorrow and embarrassment, we fo^nd out later that either John had not made such a statement or else he had changed his mind after voicing the wish to Johnny. As a result. the paper learned a valuable lesson: don’t print a fellow’s name j.n (he paper unless you are sure he wants it there. As soon as time permits, John Tuiner will be interviewed to see if he wants the account of his fishing trip published. * * * “We’re having a time selling tickets to the play Friday night,” says one of the Washington ladies, ‘‘because people have misjudged the title ‘Beacon Hill Billy’ as designating a hill-billy program.” Perhaps it should have been advertised as “Mountain-William.” Since this isn’t a “mountain-william” show, it loses part of its attraction, to my mind. Now, I don’t mean these nasal misarfthropes on some radio programs. Boiling in oil wo.ild be too good for them. But one of the most pleasant experiences of my younger days was the privilege of hearing a performance by a collector of mountain ballads. He sang the genuine articles—no guitar accompanied mush. The only thing anywhere near it that can be heard today is Burl Ives. Some fine musician in the country is now getting ready to classify my taste in music along wit!) the. space of daylight under a snake’s stomach. Oh, well, I still think the “Blue-Tail Fly” is far superior to many of the dissonances concocted by some big name with forty consonants and several vowels. * * Other spring signs are appearing with the beginning of the apple trees to bloom. Clean-up programs are the order of the day and the Updike house across from the post office in Washington is getting shined up with a coat of paint. Fog from lime-spreaders hangs in the hollows between the mountains. Orchards are graywhite with spray. Contour stripping has assumed brighter colors. The beautiful county of Kappahaaaock is getting prettier by the day.

fGtttle Uaaltmgtmt fast Washington High School, Washington, Virginia Staff of “LITTLE WASHINGTON POST’ Paculty Adviser.MRS. HAZEL CORBIN Editor-in-Chief.GLADYS REID Assistant Editor.. PHYLISS HUDSON Sports Editor..JO ELLEN WORTH Gossip Editor.HELEN NETHERS Guest Editorial Recently a curious student asked me to define the word personality. Rather than define thq term, I endeavored to tell the particular individual the importance of having a well-rounded, attractive, and capturing personality. Your success or failure in life will depend upon the type of person that you are. Your beha\ious in the classroom, conduct in the halls, attitude toward the teacher and fellow student will determine the kind of person you will be in the future. In the following paragraphs I will attempt to enumerate some of the ways - that you can improve yourself us a person. The first impression that you make upon other people comes through the medium of conversation. Throughout your life, the greatest contact. th.at_you have with individuals wifi be through words. Your English classes are giving you an opportunity to learn the fundamentals of grammar. Take advantage of such useful and practical knowledge! Speak slow-J ly, clearly, and distinctly. Eliminate suclt common mistakes as using a double negative, putting a singular subject and plural verb in the same sentence. Some of the common errors in grammar that I hear time and time again are as follows: May I get me a drink of water. He couldn't hardly go. They was going to Front Royal. Him and 1 are good friends. She is a better player than me. The student has went home. Such simple mistakes can defeat you. I know of a person who was refused a very attractive job because of his faulty speech. Make every effort to increase your vocabulary. A new word now anti then will go a long way toward making a good impression. An integral part of your personality should be a sense of humility. A sarcastic, arrogant, pernicious person will soon find himself friendless. Don't be a “showoff’’ “know-it-all”. Little learning can take place when this sort of attitude dominates the student. —Roih—the—st- a dents—tend—teachers— breathe a sigh of relief when this type of student is not in their midst, they only hinder those who want to learn. Develop a good sefise of humor. A wholesome joke or pleasant smile will do wonders in strengthening the tide between you and your friends. Learn to develop and cultivate a wide variety of interests. Reading, listening to good music, par ticipating in wholesome sports, attending the best movies,^ joining in scl ool activities, are personality traits that should become habit forming. The attitude, actions and behavior patterns that you are establishing at the present time will determine the type of person you will be in the future. What sort of person are you going to be? Movie At W. H. S. We were very happy when it was announced that we were to have a movie last week. It was “Jack London,” starring Michael O’Shea and Susan Hayward. This was a very interesting movie, especially, since we have read many •stories written by Jack London. . The film traces • the fabulous career of Jack Dondon, author, adventurer, and pioneer war correspondent. It included scenes of the Russo-Japanese war. We are looking forward to the movie next month, “The Call of the Wild.” Tour of Washington, D.C. Bright anil early (at least early) Friday morning, the Seniors left for Washington. D.C. We began our tour in the Capitol. The guide who led us through told us many interesting stories, as the British ransacking and burning part of the building, the spot where you can stand and hear the whisper of a person several yards away— and the masterpieces drawn on the dome by an artist as he lay on his back on a scaffold. '1 he House of Representatives was not in session, but we sat in the balcony while our guide pointed out to whore the Representatives and officers sat and how the meetings were conducted. Sitting in the Speaker’s chair, we visioned the day when we would pilot these lawmakers. We saw President of the Senate Barkley, call the Senate to order and heard the opening prayer by a minister. Riding on the subway, especially built for Senators, was thrilling. Next on the agenda was the Supre me Court Building-, where the laws of the nation receive their final 'and decisive interpretation. A picnic lunch was then eaten in the school bus by the starving seniors. The tour of the F.B.I. showed . s the numerous devices of crime retection and apprehension and confirmed our belief that “Clime Doesn’t Pay.” At las the MOXUMEXT.

It API*.- CHATS j By: W. H. Lyne j County Agent § s Legionnaires reported seeing a large number of Japanese Beetle grubs along the highways near Sperryville, when digging holes in connection with their beautification started last Saturday. Farmers are reminded that to become lax in combatting this pest is but an invitation to trouble. Milky disease spur dust is still the best material that can be used as a permanent Jap beetle control measure when in the grub stage of its life cycle. Our Board of Supervisors last year made spore d-st available to farmers at 50 percent of the purchase price, which actually is but 25 per cent of the retail cost. Spore dust can be purchased at the treasurer’s office, and is distributed through the Agent's office. Farmers having fhade recent purchases are: R. M. Menefee 4 lbs.; and Mrs. Alexander Gordon 80 lbs. Mrs. Gordon intends to apply an additional eighty pounds in.tire near future. X X At A million matches can be made from one tree, but one match in the hands -of a careless person may destroy well over a million trees. Everyone is asked to be careful with matches, cigarette h.tts and to take time out to clean up rubbish heaps that create tire hazards around their premises. The dead plants, leaves, etc., are tinder dry. Rainfall has been negligible . . . winds have been high and persistent, ill of which say: ( itizens be cartful . . . extra careful with hie. In fact, we haven t had any rain since March 21th. Smoke was noted in many sections of the county last Sunday and I dare say om Volunteer fire companies of this and adjoining counties have fought more brush _and field files this spring than in many a year. * ¥ * Planning to do some out-ale painting?

This is due to the unusually successful hatchery opcrations^conducted during the past two ydtirs, and the fish hatchery expansion program . nder monies provided for by the increase in fishing license fees. Id tons are" expected to he stocked during mid-season. In addition Id this, ti.e federal Fish and Wildlife Service has stocked many thousands of mature trout in the national forest streams. Some 22,000 went into the Jefferson National Forest and another 20,000 into the George Washington. Officials are strongly appealing to all trout fishermen of the State to be extra careful about their conduct on Virginia streams this year. More and more trout streams annually are being closed to anglers because of the unsportsmanlike conduct of a few thoughtless fishermen! Most of the streams that ate stocked by the Commission outside ofvthe national forest are on privately-owned land and it is only through the co-operation of the landowners that the Commission is able to carry out this program. The season opened officially at 5:30 a.m. today and closes one hour after sunset on September 15. On intervening days, hours for fishing are from one hour before sunrise to one hour after sunset. Creel limit remains at 12 fish per day. There is no size limit, and all fish caught are to be retained as part of the daily creel limit. Anglers are cautioned that in order to fish on national forest streams they must have, in addition to a regular fishing license, a N'ational Forest Stamp. This costs $1 and is available at ail county clerk’s offices. „ FRONT ROYAL LIVESTOCK April 13, 1950 Dairy Cows—-$200 to $254; medium, $154 to $ 1 - .5; plain, $130 to $150; common down to $90.

Soil Saver Notes Now that spring and warm weahter has finally gotten here, the fifty-eight farm pond owners in C.lpeper and Rappahannock counties are applying fertilizer to their ponds. Ponds are fertilized at intervals, during the seven warm month- or the year at the rate of 1200 to loOO lb per acre of surface water' per year. Regular inorganic pond fertilizer may he purchased directly from dealers. An 8-8-2 analysis is the most com* mon ready mixed fertilizer. Many farmers utilize the regular grain fertilizers that they may have available on the farm. One hundred It) of a 3-12-fi may he fortified with r.tt) of nitrate of soda and applied in that proportion. Only tK so ponds that have been stocked with fish need he fertilized. The use of fertilizer in ponds perform- two functions. It causes the various species of algae to grow in the water, thus providing food for the fish. The presence of algae in the water does not allow the -iin to penetrate to a depth of greater than 12 to 18 inches and therefore eliminates the growth of sea weeds and swamp grasses on the floor of the pond. All ponds '■ '■ ext n vatei! to a minimum depth of two feet.

Beef Cows Show Upward Trend An upward trend ;r. beef cw n iv.bei s PIP.OOP head more now ' ran during the five-year j>e* ici, -T-orp—1 4- malaid hy (', e > ; a- y Herring, ,Fxten-i"n animal hus. t.amdman at V. P. I. Herring says Bureau of Agricultural Economics repots -lii.w ': a* Virginia had 14s.mm ;u.a,j of oeef,cows on January. 1. lli.'u. i "■ average number dumng the five-year period v as IT.oou. nunmer.s at the sene time raw decreased 17 percent. The increase in cow numbers, in part, is a shift from steer enterprises to less speculative cow herds. However, there has bev» a rapid expansion in beef cattle in Virginia on farms that have not previously had them; and in most cases the new producers have established cow herds. M'. ch of the increase has came in areas, such as Southside and Eastern Virginia, which at one time were consideed out of the beef cattle area. The improvement of old pastures^ establishment of new ones, and the increase in yields and acreage of hay crops has been the basis of the expanded cattle business. Another significant change is that the trend in sheep numbers in Virgnia, which has been downward almost without interruption since 1935, has been reversed Virginia showed a 4 per cent increase during 1949. Sheep numbers in the country as a whole continued to decline, and only a few states showed any increase. BOY, THAT IS CLEAN ) And cleanliness is most important in the kitchen. 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. Vou'Il save hours of kitchen scrubbing drudgery because, with llameless 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 cooking has these many other important and desirable features; (1) Electric cooking is SAFE —no danger of fire or explosion from leaking fuel. _(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 p6ssible use of heat. (5) Electric cooking is AUTOMATIC — just set the controls, and cooking heat and time are self-regulated, leaving you lots more leisure. See the 1950 model ranges today!

Timely Information From The H.'D. Agent’s Office Bjr:v Janet Sollenberger Many cotton fabrics selling in stores this spring are ideal for slip covers because they are washable, durable, reasonable in price and attractive in color and design, says Bess Viemont Morrison of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Mrs. Morrison reminds homemakers that slip covers represent a considerable investment in money, and also in labor and time if homemade. Thus, it pays to choose fabric that not only suits the decorative scheme of the room but also wears well, washes without shrinkage and holds its color against light and laundering. Dry cleaning adds to the cost of the slip covers so it pays to use fabrics which can be laundered at home. Closely woven fabrics hold their ehape well, are easy to work on, tailored well and keep dust from •sifting through the furniture underneath. Mrs. Morrison advises against loosely woven, sleazy fabrics which stretch, fray at edges and often pull out at seams, are difficult to make up neatly and are poor protection against dust. Some of the most serviceable cottons for slip covers are: permanently glazed chintz, cretonne, plain or striped denim, galatea, rep, French ticking, and for more dressy appearance, lightweight^ tapestries, drapery sateen and damask. Ginghams and percales wash easily but often wrinkl more than heavier fabrics. They are good lightweight materials for slip covers but generally are only 36 inches wide, thus may not cut to as good advantage as wider materials. If fabric is not labeled as preshrunk and fast color against light and laundering, it is wise to buy about three fourths of a yard and launder it at home. Measure the fabric before and after laundering to see how much it shrinks and to note any loss of color. If shrinkable material still is the choice, it pays to wash and iron it before making up into slip covers. Upper back and arms of chairs or lounges usually get the. most soil and wear. So it often pays to buy enough extra fabric for pieces to baste flat on back and arms. These can be washed separately if necessary. Be sure the design of the extra piece and slip cover match so that these extras don’t show. Bobby Menefee was an overnight guest on Saturday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. P. D.'Wood.

Davie Street Dial MSI Va. Hints On Housecleaning .From The H. D. Agent By: Janet Sollenberger House cleaning today calls for less elbow grease than in years past, because many of the modern detergents dissolve soil . . . especially greasy spil . . . more rapidly and effectively than ordinary soap and water, says Lucille Williamson of the New York State Experiment Station. When washing walls, woodwork and other painted surfaces with the newer cleaners, or shampooing “upholstery and rugs, Mrs. Williamson suggests trying gentle handling instead of old fashioned vigorous lubbing and scrubbing. This saves wear on the housewife as well as on finishes and fabrics. When finishes and fabrics are softened and moistened and made soft with alkaline cleaners or other detergents, scrubbing may cause unnecessary wear. Generally, four steps are recommended when cleaning with water: 1. Removing loose dirt by advance brushing or vacuum cleaning; 2. Applying the detergent solution to the surface rapidly, using as little of the detergent as possible to prevent soaking upholstery or dripping down painted surfaces; 3. Removing the detergent by going over the surface rapidly with a sponge or absorbent cloth wrung out of water; Drying by quick light rubbing with a towel. Directions on some wall cleaners suggest no rinsing. This is probably because manufacturers have found that the small amount of detergent left on the wall will do less damage than too much rubbing when the finish is wet. Avoid scouring walls, woodwork and all finished surfaces, Mrs. Williamson urges. The many good cleaning materials on the market today make scouring unnecessary, even for very soiled paint. Scouring not only removes finish but also roughens the surface so that it gathers soil more easily. Strongly alkaline substances, such as washing soda or ammonia, are hard on paint because they dry it and in time make it flake off. They also may affect the color. When using any cleaner, Mrs. Williamson has found that it pays to read and follow directions carefully! If the cleaner calls for ringing afterwards this should be done thoroughly and carefully, without splashing, dripping or soaking. But if directions advise against rinsing, this indicates that the little cleaner left after drying will not cause undue damage or be as hard on the finish jas wear from rubbing and rinsing. Government Studies People’s Buying Habits An interesting insight into people’s spending habits and the economic impact of personal income changes on the demand for variOUS Hoods_and -.(■ rvicos—us-pro— vided by a U. S. Department of Commerce study of the makeup of personal consumption expendituies and the sensitivity of particular items to tne ups and downs of disposable individual income. Covering the 20-year period f.om 1920 thro.igh 1948, the study bieaks down the various categories of consumer spending by dollar totals into three main classifications of sensitivity—average. above average and below average. The average group comprises those goods and services tor which the demand increases or decreases at the same rate as ci.anges in aggregate disposable personal income or somewhat below. Examples of Variation* Most durable goods fall into the high sensitivity classification, the majority of nondurable outlays in the average group, and about two-thirds of service expenditures in the below average class. But there are variations as between items and types of expenditures throughout the list. An example is provided by the three basic necessities — food, s.ielter and clothing. The shelter category, which includes expenditjres for miscellaneous household opei atior. services, is the only one of the three to rate the low sensitivity classification. Shelter expenditures fluctuate at a rate no more than half that of changes in personal income, and only a handful of items, among which the public utilities are prominent, has a lower sensitivity index. Food falls into the average classification, the records showing that most food expenditures and income tend to change at the^same rate. On the other hand, the greater part of,the clothing group has the above average sensitivity rating except for shoes and footwear, which are average. Auto* Havo High Rating Wide variations are found among durable goods as well. Automobiles, new and used, have a very high sensitivity rating, their demand rising or falling twice as fast as overall income changes. This ratio is higher than that of most other durables and » twice the sensitivity index of refrigerators and washing and sowing machine*.

Timely Information From The H. D. Agent Q—Can I create a center of interest in the living room with a fire place? A—Yes, there are several ways. One successful system is to use a ,long, shallow table, chest, or bookcase, with a large mirro.r over it. Flank with matching wing chair love seats, facing eacn other. ¥ ¥ ¥ Q — Is it all right to use light and dark wood furniture in the same loom? A—Yes. It makes for interest and breaks up the monotony. But the woods sho. Id be of the same formality. For instance, “pickled’’ pine i.> nice with mahogany; or fight and dark mahogany are good together. ¥ ¥ ¥ Q—I am never quite sure how to hang pictures. Can you guide me ? A—Pictures should always be hung -‘blind’’ . . . . that is, without the cord fir wire showing. A good rule is to hang them at the eye level of a person standing. Th grouping pictures, place them one over the other. Side by side, or in the other organized or symmetrical groups. But don’t arrange them in a stair step fashion. The latter treatment is nice only on stair walls. Hang pictures low if you want to add height to your room. Q— Can I have floor-length draperies with a radiator under the window? A—It’s ^easy. Use a cornice board at the top and extend it six or eight inches beyond either side —of the window so the draperies will hang free of the radiator. This treatment gives a broad look to the window, and at the same time will overcome any interference from the radiator. Fishermen Urged To Be Careful Of Forest Fires Green forests and good fishing go together. Blackened forests, destroyed by destructive forest files, are an enemy of the sportsman. The trout fisherman will be traveling to his favorite trout stream Beginning today, which is the opening date of the 1950 tro.t season. District Forester D. G. Wilfong, -Jr., reminds all of the people that April is the most hazardous forest fire month of the year. He requests the co-operation of all persons going trout fishing this year to be extra careful with fire. During 1949 only a very few forest fires were caused in the district by careless fishermen. Forester Wilfong suggests that again this year fishermen be careful with matches, cigarettes, pipe ashes, camp and warming fires. Prevent forest fires and enjoy good fishing this year and in future years. Fashion Shoppe SPRING Clearance SALE COATS SUITS . SHOES Fashion Shoppe DAVIS STREET CULPEPER, VA.
