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 Rappahannock’s Loss Rappahannock feels keenly tae less of her Sheriff, James M. Iillard. Sheriff Lillard was a conscientious officer and served the county well. The office of Sheriff is a responsible one and is hard to fill properly. An officer of the law lives in danger, his job means that he is on call any hour of the day or night, every day of the year. He is thrown in positions when h» job is unpleasant in dealing with mistakes made by his fellow men. He is called upon to apprehend thieves, even when there are no clues. He is expected to protect each and every one of us from all dangers, from lawlessness. It takes a man of sterling character to make a good officer of the law. There is little remuneration for the position of county sheriff, and most of the returns must lie in the satisfaction of a job well done. The Incomplete Census The nose-counting boys — and girls-—of the county are getting^ along with their work. According to their reports, the county numbered 5931 by count up to last Saturday and they still have more to go._ One of the enumerators was heard to groan Monday 'morning when the rain was descending by, the bucketfull: “I can’t even get to these houses left on my - list when the weather is good. They aren’t on good roads even in a dry spell.” The final count in 1940 was 7208, and 1950 may hit 6,000, , and may not. Whether it does, or whether it doesn’t, the census to* tal has surely furnished neat for conversation. Everyone admits the county decrease is cause for alarm but like most pleasant conversation, it isn’t all frightening, for a lighter vein jumps in at times. "Well, there was a time back when things were different,1* stated one Rappahannock ' man. "A fellow owned a few acres up on the mountain, he had a cow and a coupla’ pigs and a garden, and he managed to eat and feed his family. If any cash was needed, he could go down and work a week or two on one of the farins and earn a few spare dollars. Then things began to change. The kids, went to school and learned about inside plumbing and modern living. Ma went to the home demonstration meeting and learned about fancy kitchens and automatic washing machines. Pa began to find a car was necessary for his mental health, and there justf wasn’t enough from his working about on farms. The farm owners couldn’t pay him more, so he went somewhere out of the county to find the higher paying job. The farm owner had to turn to mechanization, in order to get his farm Work done. There’s the picture of Rappahannock’s census.” "There’s the answer to higher taxes,” said another citizen of the county. “A certain amount of money is needed for county ex■ penses; whoever is here has it to pay. Fewer people, higher taxes. That makes sense.” The discussions go on. One fellow said that when the numbers in the county jwent down, we should have chosen a few to be on the list of those missing. “Let me Tix the population: I’d get rid of all the triflin’ ones and I’d just re-populate the county with duplicates of—” and here the fellow began to name some of the h£St citizens. The comment of the listeners was, "That wouldn’t be any county, boy, that’d be Utopia.” WHO WILL GET VOUR S. S. IN CASE OF DEATH?

Timm Ham Comm * Um W«lr«« hU . . You can ride along the road oft business bent with a fixed purpose in mind during eold weather. Let these warm days roll around, and the road signs of “Visit Luray Caverns, Skyline Caverns, and Beautiful Skyline Drive” begin to work havoc with your work. It makes no difference that you ha\'e already seen these advertised wonders. It’s pleasant weather, and the urge to "go somewhere” gets you. Why should <work be so imperative? Rockefeller could easily have supported another child, and why wasn’t I born that one? Then there’d be no working for a livMy education was either seriously neglected or else it was all wrong. , (No wisecracks, please). These new magazines bring out pictures of model homes. “Before and After” are the tag lines on remodeled homes. Nine times out of ten, the before looks better than the after to me. The sensation given is that someone is trying to make the house look like something it ain’t. What’s wrong with a house being "dated”? If it. was good in its day, and the timbers are sound, why must we try to make it look either fifty years older or fifty years younger? . . . This is positively the truth: a picture ip a homemaking magazine recently showed a room re-done by an ambitious* housewife and she had taken a perfectly plain maple bedroom suite and painted it white with blue stripes. I saw the picture myself. That, too, was labeled “before and after.” Saints preserve us! Maybe a spree of something of this sort hit our great-grandmothers, and so today we agonize in removing numberless coats, of paint from fine old pieces of furniture. * * * The Rappahannock river was rolling itself in a frenzy to the sea. after the rains of Sunday night and Monday, down at Remington, the water was red-brown with somebody’s good top-soil.

Highway Accidents In Rappahannock Increase Six 1949 highway deaths earn* pared unfavorably with two for 1948 and sent Rappahannock county from 87th to 90th place among Virginia’s 100 counties in the death-per-vehide-miles travelled standing, E. M. Jones, chairman of the Rappahannock Safety Council announced today. Final statistics compiled by the Governor's Highway Safety Committee gave the county a mileage death rate of 25.6 which sky-’ rockets above the comparatively modest 9.9 of 1948. In addition, he said, reported accidents jumped from 45 to 66 and injured from 25 to 42. Improvement was noted in the town of Washington, which reported only one accident, which was three leas than in 1948. No one was injured while one injury was reported for 1948. Five of the deaths occurred on Route 211. Three were chalked up when fast-moving automobiles went out of control on curves to overturn and strike fixed objects, one when an unlighted, horsedrawn wagon <was struck, and one when a driver lost control attempting to avoid another which was passing a stopped truck. The sixth death, on State Route 729, came when a car skidded on wet glttV^l. Mr. Jones stated that no death reports have been received for 1950 and Urged all residents of the county to use courtesy, caution and common sense in their driving and walking to keep the record clean. Rappahannock’s last deathless year was 1945. In closing, Mr. Jones stated that 1950 deaths for Virginia are in excess of those for the same period of 1949 and that traffic volumes are steadily on the rise. not washing it away. Smart birds know that this conservation practice business is hard-rock common sense. * * * Highway signs are interesting. They tell me that for many years from before World War I until last year) there was a Remount Depot at Front Royal, but it was not until after this had closed and the U. S. Agriculture Research Station was put in its place that the sigh appeared at Massie’s Corner, “Remount Station 12 miles”. There are two road signs always good for a grin: “Slow Men Working” and “Men Working 25 miles Per Hour.” Is it a crime to point the way to Washington? At a point between Warrenton and Amissville, it says “Sperryville so-manymiles” but it doesn’t say that you pass through Washington, the county seat of Rappahannock, before you get there. In fact, my memory can’t place a single roadsign telling you how to find Washington, Virginia. In asking around as to why no signs pointed to W'ashington, the answer was given that it would be confusing to travelers, in that Washington, T).C., is so close by. The answer to that is too easy: Anyone who can’t read Washington, Virginia from Washington, D.C., has no business driving a car, and if a driver is so careless that he mistakes Washington, Virginia, for Washington, D.C., then the drive out of his way will teach him to be more observant in the future. j Pitts Park | THEATRE 1 Front Royal, Virginia I THURSDAY • FRIDAY MAY 18 - 19 ‘ ' “OH, YOU BEAUTIFUL DOLL” -WithJUNE HAVER MARK STEVENS SATURDAY, MAY 20 GENE TIERNEY RICHARD CONTE —lN^. “WHIRLPOOL” SUNDAY, MAY 21 (Ono Day Only) * Skowi 3 and 0 P.M.

PHYLISS HUDSON Sport. Editor ,. .tv..v. .. JO ELLEN WORTH Gossip Editor ................ HELEN NETHERS Senior Class Play By Peggy Ann Crnnn The Senior class of Washington High School presented "Calling. All Girls" in the high school auditorium May 12. The play was under the direction of Mrs. Etta B. Miller. " ^ i The play was attended by a large crowd. The cast was: Three old maids, Polly, Molly, and Dolly Ricker, who were true to life with distinct characteristics. Polly, dominant; Dolly and. Molly timid, they worked in unison in movement and gesture. The parts were played by Gladys Reid, Lois Utx, and Dorothy Prints. David Ricker, who was a shy young man with more interest in stars in the heavens than in girls of marriageable age was acted by Frank Goode, Jr. George Ricker, David’s rich uncle, who tried to get David married, but got married himself, >was played by Junior Martin. James Hilton, who was instructed to get some girls to come to the Ricker home for David to choose one to marry, and becomes involved in quite a complicated affair, was played by Jack Smith. Julius Johnson, who was an undertaker and had four daughters who Rita, Bethie, Maisie, and Norma are mistaken for iwas played by Winfrey Burke. Rita Davis, Bethie Brown, Norma Linden, and Maisie Merrill played by Mary Karland Fincham, Lucy Mae Smith, Jeanne Woodward, and Jo Ellen Worth, were the four girl hitch-hikers who came to the Ricker home. Each thought they would get the rich husband, but Bethie married George Ricker and Starr Mayfield played by Mary Burke married David Ricker. Starr came answering the ad for a maid but was mistaken for the granddaughter of the aunt’s dearest friend. Virgie Ree Dodson and Lillian Sealock were- announcers and stage directors. —^ Jean Woodward has a new nickname—from now on call her "Speechless." P.-T. A.

Armistead Lewis to W. Harri- I son Mechling, of Moorestown, N. f J.( for an undisclosed price. | Included in the sale with the I original estate were parts of r "Echo Dell,” "St. Cloud,” "Ken- | son,” and “Cherry Point” which I sent the total acreage to some f 1300. | Mr. Lewis, who has spent most I of his recent years in Washington, f D. C., inherited “Cleve” from his | father, Daingerfield Lewis, and 1 acquired the adjoining tracts f through the years. 5 The residence house, one wing of which dates from 1729, is unoccupied at present. The manor, a manager’s residence, five bams and several tenant houses are located on the property. The farm passed to the family of Mr. Lewis, a descendant of Betty Washington and her husband, Fielding Lewis, in 1852, when Henry Byrd Lewis, J. Armstead Lewis’s grandfather, bought it from St. Leger Landon Carter, a grandson of the fabled Charles “King” Carter, land agent of Lord Fairfax. “Cleve” manor, originally a brick plantation house, was partly destroyed by (fire in 1800 and completely burned, .but for the remaining wing, in 1917. The present frame house was built in 1923. The plantation stretches about five miles along the Rappahannock’s east bank. Some 300 acres are marshland and more than 400 acres hold timber stands. “Cleve” fronts on the King George Court House-Port Conway road, about 19 miles from Fredericksburg. _James W, Fletcher i epi esented Mr. Lewis in the settlement. Mr. and Mrs. Lewis are now at “Greenfield,” their home near Washington.

In making the quail picture, Mr. Pryer secured the services of some of Virginia’s finest sportsmen and outstanding dog owners; The prise winning "Prince Tornado” and "Lightbulb” are among the top canine performers in the film and many excellent scenes of dogs working, pointing, and retrieving are included. The trout picture should prove of interest to Virginia’s thousands of sports fishermen, since it carries the story of the trout all the way from the egg in the hatchery to the fishes’ ultimate destination in one of Virginia’s mountain streams. Stocking operations are weir covered and some fine fishing scenes are also included in the film. Once the films have been completed and extra copies made, they will be added to the Commission’s film library and made available to sportsmen’s groups, civic organizations, clubs, etc., for showing. Because of the steadily increasing popularity of this phase of the Commission’s Education program, bookings will have to be made well in advance in order to obtain the desired films.

Soil Saver Notes Construction on three farm ponds is now underway in Rappahannock county. Charles E. Marsh Washington, is constructing a 2acre pond and Elmer J. Nolls, also of Washington, is constructing a 0.7-acre pond. Construction on the James K. Vardaman pond is progressing in spite ,of the adverse weather conditions. All of the above mentioned farmers either have developed or are in the process of developing a complete farm plan for their respective farms. The Culpeper Soil Conservation District Supervisors are interested in developing complete farm plans on all the farms in the district. In order to receive fish for stocking ponds through the district, the supervisors specify that the farmer first develop a complete plan in co-operation with the district. Miss Helen Chanel has established 10 acres of contour strips on her farm, locatlfd £ miles north of Culpeper. Rotation in contour strips are established on sloping cropland to prevent soil erosion and excessive loss of rainfall. Saving rainfall in the soil is of vital importance in producing a maximum yield of corn. Run-off water takes with it fertilizer, lime, soil and in many cases seed that may have recently been planted on the field. _Other farmers who have established contour strips for the first time this year include: J. Mai-, colm Hill, Culpeper; A. H. Spilman, Boston; Jack Wall, Culpeper; Walter Petty, White Shop; 0. P. Yowell, Culpeper; Carl J. Smith, Rixeyville; all Culpeper county farmers.

As far as is known, there are two of the charter members living today: William Cliffih, 94 or 95 years old, and Mrs. Mildred Greep, 86 years old. First Baptist Charch The -church at present has a membership of about 140. The first place of worship for the congregation was in the old Reform Episcopal church which stood on the lot now owned by Mrs. Jenkins and Ashby Wayland. The congregation worshipped there a few years and then built the present church, which was remodeled during the pastorate of Rev. James S. Fields and during the pastorate of Rev. D. H. Banks the steeple and Vestibule were added and the church lengthened. While Rev. I. D. Richards was pastor, cathedral windows were installed. Rev. Davis will be the sixth pastor of the congregation since the organization of the church. Rev. George Horner was the first pastor, serving eight years; Rev. James S. Fields, second, serving 20 years; Rev. James S. Woodson, third, serving two years; Rev. D. H. Banks, fourth, serving 38 years and is still honorary pastor; and ReV. Isadore D. Richards, fifth, serving three years. The historical information of the First Baptist church of Washington was ftfrnished by P. S. Green, the church clerk. BETHEL (Amiesvilla) Rev. L. B.
