Under legislation enacted by the 1950 General Assembly, the state may enter the picture in one of three fashions: (1) Maintain the primary highways in the town and pay the town an annual $200 per mile for' the maintenance of XU other streets- which, most certain standards. (2) Maintain the primary high* ways and take over the maintenance of all other streets which meet certain standards. (8) Maintain the primary highways and continue the presept system of maintaining two miles of secondary street plus an additional quarter-mile to be taken' ' over each year. ' Letters have gone to the mayors of Virginia’s 170 incorporated towns with populations of less than 2,500 asking that they advise the Highway Commission of. their choice. . 1’ . To be eligible for the $300 per mile or for ftate maintenance under alternatives (1) and- (2), a ’ street must have a right-of-way of at least SO feet and a hardsurface of at least 12 feet., At present, all towns- under 8,500 come within the provisions of alternative (3). -- * Since the law which authorised the first two alternatives takes affect July 1, the Highway Com*’ mission has requested the mayors to act "as promptly as possible*; ip making their choices. ■ oia*** »** a Its as J.

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 (Your Fire Company; Are You A Supporter? The volunteer firemen of the county are concerned about the condition of their organization end the equipment. The SperryVille men held a meeting last evening hoping to get some suggestions for ways and means of putting a backbone in the organisation. Fire protection is of vital importance. The Soil and Conservation Service has encouraged the construction of farm ponds, primarily for fire protection* but there must be a fire engine present to pump the water through the hose and men must be there to work the fire-fighting equipment. The men of Rappahannock are willing and ready to go to work at any hour to help their neighbor in case of fire. The only drawback the Sperryville men feel now is lack of a “backbone.” People are with them in spirit—but more is needed. They are not on a begging campaigby that one fact they empha • Give your home extra years of enduring beauty with Stag 100% pure linseed oil house paints.

They think that possibly there can be ways suggested1 that' will give the volunteer fire-light* era assurance that the county as a whole is firmly approving of their work and that any backing needed will be given. A suggestion offered has been that the people of the county will co-operate in pledging their support annually. The people could consider themselves members of the fire cohapany, with annual dues—an amount set by each man according to what he felt he was able to contribute to the fire pro-*” tection of his own property and that of his neighbor. Another suggestion is that if there were more co-operation between the two fire-fighting organizations of the county, that of Washington and that of Sperryville, possibly a more efficient organization could be of service to more people in the county. These men of the volunteer fire companies are public spirited and show their willingness to be of service to the community. They receive no pay and in many cases they have had to assume the expenses as well. Most of us are all too glad to contribute to the fire company after they have just finished saving some building: on our place, but that could be like “locking the barn after the hone is stolen.” This support of the fire company is fire insurance. No one can carry insurance to completely cover fire loss, but by supporting a good fire company we can carry insurance to protect us from the small losses incurred before the fire company gets there to stop the fire. Every citizen of the county should give the volunteer fire companies a blanket pledge: “I’m with you. Call on me, and I promise to help in any iway I can to th best of my ability.” That’s the equivalent to the promise volunteer firemen give to home-owners of the county. Homemakers' News Item Treat your rayon curtains as gently as posible if you want them to ware well. It is generally best to wash them byhand in lukewarm water using a mild soap or synthetic detergent. Rinse very carefully until' you are sure the soap has all been removed, and squeeze out the water gently. Roll the material in a turkish towel, and press while damp with a medium warm iron. Iron lengthwise for best results in keeping the curtains in shape. If yon plan to do some landscape planning for your home this spring, be' careful in selecting your plants. The plantings around your house are most important ones. Be particularly careful in selecting shrubs for around the windows and doors. Keep plants low beneath windows. Door, on the other hand, usually look best with taller shrubs on either side. Don’t try to Jam the candle into the caudlesttck balder. If you’re having trouble placing the candle, dip the ends that fit into the cup in a little hot water for a few '.seconds. Then place them in the holders.

Most of us recall all too well how important an occasion this is. They may some day have degrees by the dozens after their names, but this diploma is the most important. Some of os recall graduations when costumes were white dresses and the boys were in blue coats and white trousers. The girls were conscious of bouquets of flowers and the boys were conscious that their jacket sleeves were too short and trousers were too tight. Long-*1 winded speeches marked the graduation exercises and proud parents sat and fanned through the commencement. Those days have changed. The youngsters are still self-conscious, but the caps and gowns will be blamed. The young graduates will look very serious and the commencement addresses will not be as long, but the occasion is just as important as it ever was. A prize story of such an occasion rises to mind: The speaker, as he was going into the auditorium to address the graduates, was searching for a concrete illustration to clinch the main point of his address. As he entered the door to the auditorium, he saw it: “PUSH”, written on the door handle. He gave-his address, emphasizing the necessity of constant work and persistence as a prerequisite to success. “Your key word to future success lies in a word you will find on the door to this auditorium,” the speaker declaimed. “It is by this alone that you can hope to succeed in your future undertaking.” Whereupon, each young graduate turned around and looked. There it was, plainly printed: “PT7TT” The principal of one of the high schools in the county refused to let his picture be put in the paper. (Of course, no one would tell which principal or which _ school this was) One of the printers at Rappahannock News begged and pleaded, but to no avail, the professor had more excuses and reasons than a dog has fleas. Threats were thrown bpt that hadno effect either. The professor might as well know that he escaped retaliation •by a slim margin. The printer knows his sister, and the average person cannot conceive the will-, power exercised in resisting the temptation to go to this sister and borrow a baby picture—preferably, the one, aged 12-or-eo months, in his birthday suit flat It is an opportune moment fo notify the professor now that the •ture, it’d better be furnished. The poor old printers on the corner in Washington (who try to see that.Rappahannock News gets put in the mail each week) have developed inferiority complexes of the first order. You see, they had been |n the county only a few weeks when they were told that the trouble with printers was “they don’t know anything but printing.” That was sufficient to set us back several notches, but then we got to thinking. Mr. Willie Compton was a printer for over BO years and he’ll frankly admit there is much about printing he doesn’t know for he didn’t have time to learn it all. Now, take all of us printers and add up our years „of experience in printing and the sum will not even total that of Mr. Willie. Our ignorance is growing by leaps and bounds! Ah, well, you’ve heard the expression: “Just as happy as if I had good sense.” * * « on his tummy. * * According to a government report there ia a aimple explanation (one even printers can understand) for the increasing traffic on the nation’s highway — more people have more cars. A recordbreaking 44,670,588 vehicles were registered last year, 36,292,708 of them private automobiles. The number of private cars, of which 4,838,342 were new ones, was 9.2 per cent Jiigher than the 1948 total. It is .estmiated that there were 16,677,000^000 miles of travel" on rural roads during * 7.2 per cent increase over the same month last year. m ♦ * That paraghaph should have been a .“filler,” but it was too long. A "filler" to a printer is that bit of remarkable information yon see at the bottom of a column of print, stating something like "lake So-and So is umpteen miles above sea level.” The reason that the gems of wisdom appear is in the mechanical .composition of the page.

It fife la fee 1875 Acres of Forest Lend Burned in District 250 forest fires burned 1,875 acres of forest land this Spring in the sixteen counties cpmpris- - ing the Northern Piedmont District, which includes Rappahannock county, District Forester Dallas Wilfong stated this week. This number of fires and acreage burned includes the months of January through May 12. The month of April was an extremely dry month, making the conditions very hazardous for forest fires throughout the district. Not only was the month of April one of the driest months that has been ex- ' perienced over the past 10 years, but conditions were so that numerous forest fires burned during the warm months of January and February of this year. Over 60 forest fires occurred in the district during the months of Janaary and February, whereas in 1943 throughout Die same area there were only 8 forest fires during these two months. Wilfong also stated that approximately 50 per cent of these flies were caused by brush burners. A large part of this brush burning was illegal and done before 4 p.m. Many of these brush burning fires resulted from people burning during the hours of 4 p.m. and midnight but failed to extinguish the fire and the fire escaped the next day. Other major causes for forest fires this Spring were smokers and incendiaries. There has been a noted increase in the number of fires intentionally set to woods this Spring and many of these fires are still being investigated. If any of the guilty people are found guilty of this violation, they face the maximum penalty o'* 3 years in the penitentiary. Throughout the district. 125 persons were prosecuted for violation of the forest fire laws of Virginia. Of this number, 123 convictions were obtained and only 2 cases were acquitted. The forest wardens organizations of.each county should be praised for their fine effort put fort this Spring, since due to the extreme high hazardous weather_ the average size fire throughout the district was decreased from 12 acrps^to 7 acres per fire. The District Forester says that now that the Spring fire season can be considered over, the fulltime foresters working in the district will have more time to spend no timber management activities throughout the counties. He stigr. gests that any form landowner who would like to have free advice and assistance about his forestlands should write to Box 1363, University Station, Charlottesville, Va., and a forester will contact the interested person immediately. William Shakespeare’s father was official ale taster in the lard’s, home town, Stratford-on-Avon, but records reveal that he was hence, “filler.” At one time an editor, turning religious, decided he would quote verses from the Scripture as “fillers.” All went well until be published the biggest social event of the season, the wedding of the most prominent families. At the end of the account of the marriage, this verse appeared: “All we like sheep have gone astray.” Pitts Park THEATRE Front Rojrtl, Virginia THURSDAY, MAY 25 “PRINCE OF THE FOXES” Starring TYRONE POWER FRIDAY - SATURDAY MAY 26.27 RANDOLPH SCOTT —INFIGHTING Man OF THE PLAINS” Filmed in Cinocolor SUNDAY, MAY 28 ’ (Ona Dag Only) Skew. 3 P.ML and 9 P.M.

The increases in production came in cattle and calves. Hog, sheep, and lamb production stayed about the same. Of the 482,524,000 pounds of meat animals produced in Virginia in 1949, hogs accounted for 251,744,000 ponds, cattle and calves for 213,550,000 pounds, and sheep and lambs 17,230,000 pounds. Cattle and calf income about .6 per cent, hog income 17 per cent, and sheep and lambs about 9 per cent. Herring points oat that in the case of cattle and calves, and sheep and lambs, most of the gross income is cash. However, nearly half o the hogs are produced for /arm slaughter. In the United States as a whole, meat production increased 7 per - cent in 1949 over 1943, and represented the first increase in the past 6 years. The production of cattle and calves, was t^e second largest on record, while that for hogs was fourth largest. Sheep and lamb production, however, was the smallest since 1923. What’s wanted is something: that tastes good, satisfies the appetite and isn’t fattening. Washington Theatre Show Starts at 7il5 P. M.

George Richard Butler, Jr., sod of Mr. and Mrs. George Butler Of Boston.'Carolyn Elizabeth Jenkins, daughter of Mrs. 'Virginia Butler Jenkins, of Woodville. Harry Arthur Trescott, Jr., son of Mrs. Catherine C. Trescott of Sperryville. • Yes, we are very few in number but that hasn't kept us from enjoying our school days at S.H.S. We have had trials and have been trials, as well as comforts, we hope to our various teachers. While in high school the trips , we have taken stand out as high spots in our otherwise hum drum existence. Our FJF.A. and F.H.A. picnics have been at the Hawksbill and our basket ball picnics on the Skyline Drive. This year we splurged and spent the day in Washington, D. C., sightseeing. Among the places visited were the Monument, Smithsonian Institute, Freer Art Gallery, Medical Museum, Lincoln Memorial and Capitol where iwe^saw the House in session. ~~ Then we enjoyed the excitement at Glen Echo for several hours. Probably I’d batter leave a few things for my fellow classmates to tell you. •I*urv,>‘u JINGLES * * Whenever Jean is out of breath Be it night or early morn, We hear her call, “Come fan me, Bill, PAN NON, and on and on.” • *' * * «■;.> Carolyn wears clothes that suit her style, Tailored, neat, and trim; But how she longs for Lacy frills To reminif her of him. * * * .

Twenty-five years ago this class graduated from what was then known as Sperry 'ille High School. I, George Butler, have just letired from the Navy and wanted to show my Chinese wife and family some of thi scenes of my early life. As we passed Sperryville in our “flying suits,” I noticed a parade was in progress. Banners proved this to be a celebration in honor of 'a new school building which had finally been completed after 25 years of discussion. Leading the parade on a white motorcycle, with siren bowline, was Capt. H. A. Treacott, Jr., head of the Second Division of the Virginia State Police. One float showed an artist exhibiting a prize painting-r-thh canvas seemed to have five colors in stripes. It was called “The class of 1950.” The artist, Jean Brown, explained to onlookers that each color represented one of the members of her class, and that the paint had -been applied from the bottom to the top, indicating the success each had made in life. The RED was for Harry Trescott, since fire engines are usually painted that color; the BLACK was for George Butler; the BLUE was for Joan Kelly, who started being blue as she longed for someone in Texas; the LAVENDAR was for Carolyn, since that color goes well with; lace; the GREEN was for the artist, Jean. On another float in the parade' I saw my former classmate, Joan Kelly Aylor, who had become • famous Blues Singer, for the Stork Club. The song she was crooning « »he passed was “Sperryrllle Ain’t What She Used to Be Many Long Tears Ago.” Still another float displayed new types of equipment used by DONAHOE'S FLOWER SHOP MRS. C. E.

There sat Carolyn Jenkins, secretary to the President of the United Nations, showing how in 1975 secretaries merely had to keep office equipment oiled and the electricity flowing. It seemed that the colors in Jean’s painting had been properly applied—my class had gone toward the top! Can You Name This Famous Virginian He was an American soldier, who distinguished himself in active service in the War of 1812, and the Mexican War. He was born near Petersburg, Virginia. He was educated at William and Mary College, where he studied law. In 1812 he was commissioned lieutenant colonel and went to the Canadian border. In 1814 he fought at Chippewa * and at Lundy’s Lane. At the close of the war Congress conferred upon him the rank of major general. He fought in the war with Mexieo and he returned from the war a national hero. He died in 1866 at West Point. * * * Last week’s famous Virginian was Woodrow Wilson. LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT W« the Seniors of the Class of 1950, being anything but sound in mind, do hereby make our last will and testament. Harry Trescott leaves the ten tons of chewing gum he has not had to throw in the wastebasket, along with his interest in sports (minus the r) to F. D. Coffey. George Butler bequeaths th| huge diamond "he won by answering the radio quiz to Barbara Black, <’nuff said.) Joan Kelly Aylor bestows her ability to talk her teachers into her way of thinking to Buddy Harrington to help him in Latin. Carolyn Jenkipis leaves her cake-making ability to Christine Jenkins, for she knows all Corbins like cake. Jean Brown leaves her yen for teasing, along with her tardies, to Peggy Anne Black, so that Peggy can start out with enough tardies for next year and be on time each day. To our teachers we leave our good wishes and the hope that they will not miss us too much. To the juniors we leave all our unfinished tasks and our good grades to help them a'ong next year. Signed and sealed this twentythird day of May in the Senior Year of our sojourn within the walls of this institution for higher and lower learning. The Seniors of S. H. S.

Pentaachlorophenol; Ut one of the most satisfactosy chemkal preservatives f(or fence posts. Patton made these other suggestions: Stack posts a foot or more off the ground, preferably in the shade. Use only round posts, since the ^ exposed heart wood of split posts does not take the jireservativA treatment. ~ Pine and red, black and scarlet or “mixed” oaks take chemical treatment best. Any tank that*' is oil tight and will allow half or more of t1 e post to be submerged at one time will be satisfactory. Other suggestions for treating posts are contained in Forestry Leaflet No. 12.

Agent's Office Paint on Wood: Painting is a good way to make wood houses attractive and to freshen or change their appear* ance. •-_ ~ 7 .. “ " The forest Service of the U. S. Dept, of Agriculture explains that paint prevents the weathering of wood hut does not preserve wood from deterioration due to decay except as it may keep the wood dry. Rotting of wood is spread by a fungus which needs moisture to grow. The natural color of wood after it has been exposed to the weather for a fe wmonths is dark grey or often brown at high altitudes. Some people like these natural weathered shades. If so, wood buildings can remain unpainted and the cost of paint maintenance thereby saved. Two of the oldest frame buildings in the United States have never been painted. One is in ‘ Dedham, Mass., the other in St. .Augustine, Fla. Surviving houses of the Amana Society in Iowa still have unpainted wood siding more than three quarters of a century old. } Freezing Sweet Ckerrie* If you plan to preserve sweet cherries by freezing, choose firm fleshed varieties, advises Frank A. Lee, of the New York State Experiment Station. Dr. Lee’s test with this fruit shows that soft fleshed sweet cherries are likely to be soggy after freezing, but those with firm flesh make an attractive frozen product. Of the varieties grown in New york State, Dr. Lee reports as best for freezing: Schmidt, Lambert and Bing. He rates Victor and Napoleon (Royal Ann) as “Quite Satisfactory.’’ Sweet cherries are less trouble to process than many other fruits, says Dr. Lee. They are stemmed and washed, drained, put into cartons, and covered with syrup of the desired sugar strength. Some people like a syrup made of equal parts sugar and water but others prefer a less sweet syrup for this sweet fruit. j For the best »e*ulta-Dr. £ee recommensd adding ascorbic acid powder (vitamin 0) to the syrup. This powder can be purchased at the drug store and weighed accurately there. For 8 pints of packed cherries, he suggests 1.6 grams of the powder. He dissolves this -this amount in one-eifhtH~measuring cup of water before mixing into the syrup. For best results with sweet cherries as with other products, Dr. Lee cautions against trying to freeze too many at once. Not more than 20 to 26 pints of cherries should be put in a 20 cubic foot freezer at a time, he says. For fast freezing these should be arranged with air space between the boxes, and one side of each box against the bottom side wall of the cabinet for fast freezing. Allow 10 to 12 hours for freezing. After the cherries are frozen, boxes can be packed tightly together for storage in the freezer. $119.95 Warrenton Supply Co, Incorporated Warrenton, Va. MRS.B.

Moser, Jr., Fruit and Vegetable Processing Specialist - Spring is here at last, and many Of us are spending our evenings out in the backyard in the garden. We’re all just a little tired of the canned foods we have been eating during the winter, and as we plant the seeds, we can almost taste that first mess of peas. Those garden fresh vegetables are really g9©d. But the season when we can have most of our vegetables available in a garden fresh state is fairly short. Summer goes by rapidly, and the fresh peas and other garden \egetables are gone. But there is no reason why we can’t have a mess of peas just like they came from the garden any time during the year. Our grandparents and parents could not do that. They had to eat their fresh fpftds when they were in season. Of course, they canned a lot of them, with pretty good results too, but; ,the canned foods did not taste quite like the fresh ones. Those canned vegetables did play an important part in our diet, and they still do. They have done a lot to increase the general health of all of us by making good, nutritious foods available to us throughout the year, and they will continue to play a big part in our diet fqr years to come. •! FOOD FREEZING Jbut lately, a lot of us nave become more quality conscious. We are more particular. We want a garden-fresh flavor and color. We want to keep all of the vitamins we can in our food. So,' we turned to freezing. We have learned that frozen fruits and vegetables have more of the desirable qualities of the fresh foods than those preserved by other means. ^ 1 Now'let's go, back to that backward garden we are planting and make plans for freezing our surplus fruits and vegetables. This will bring up a lot of questions. How will I freeze, thesfe foods? What foods and what varieties will 1 freeze? How will I prepare the food fqr* freezing? What packaging mMijraur -will I use? How will I store these foods? How long can they be stored? How can I use these foods? Other "questions might come up also. How much it will cost Is of interest to everyone. < Some of these questidhs can be answered fairly" easily. Others are harder and depend on individual chneumstances. In this column, we will discuss some of these problems each week. If you have questions on food freezing you want discussed, mail them'to at* at tha Extension. Saruce. VPI, Blacksburg, Va. :-Wr Wild Turkey Production Boosted 25 Per Cent Unless the unforseen happens, and barring accidents, Virginia . sportsmen should see their wild turkey production boosted by 25 per cent this year, so announced officials of the Virginia Game Commission recently. According to Chester P. Phelps chief of the Commission’s Game Division, the wild turkeys at the Cumberland Game Farm are giving good egg production, and if all goes well the number of birds raised this year should amount to 1,500 birds. The Virginia system of propagating wild turkeys is unique in the country. Turkey hens, from the previous year’s production, are taken to fenced-in enclosure* in various areas where native wild gaDDters are known to frequent. Here they mate with the wild gobblers that enter the pens through an ingenious system of gates which provides easy access for the strutting toms on the outside, but through which the hens cannot escape. This method of propagation, " while limiting the number of birds which can be successfully produced, officials said, insures turkeys of the finest possible quality and with the high degree of wildness necessary for successful restocking. Today more than SO of Virginia’s 100 counties are closed to ■wil^ turkey hunting because of the scarcity or complete absence of this fraud fame bird. The most desirable of . these counties from the standpoint of suitable habi* tat (food and cover) are being systematically stocked as the birds are produced. Plantings are made only where there is no native brood stock present and where the wild turkey season is closed for at least 5 years, Officials said that counties already meeting these qualifications can absord the output of the Game Farm for several years. fOR BHr&ER TRIPLETTS 'CHICK STARTER and GROWER TRIPLETTS BROILER MASH On Sale In Stores In Rappahannock County Better Feeds CULPEPER WWW mHWWMHWlMfMMMUMM—•—HHM—mHWl To harmonize with (or match) every one of your gay Summer frocks...divine little multi-colors at BUSKENS marvelous fashion savings I • ^ i 1M Nearest thing to barefoot. .. only much, much prettier... these gay Summer BUSKENS.

1 Washington High School, Washington, Virginia Staff of “LITTLE WASHINGTON POST” Faculty Adviser .......... MRS. HAZEL CORBIN Editor-in-chief ..GLADYS REID Assistant Editor .............. PHYLISS HUDSON Sports Editor .....JO ELLEN WORTH Gossip Editor .....HELEN ^ETHERS W.H.S. Then and Now* At the time the Washington High School was built, in 1908, Mr. Charles Green was superin-, tendent. The first building conaisted of four rooms downstairs, where the four teachers conducted classes; and one large room composed the entire .top floor. This room was the scene of many commencements and. social events. Several public spirited citizens anxious to improve the educational offering of the school saw the need of a fifth teacher. There being no assistance available from county or state, the citizens shouldered the task of providing the necessary funds. They continued to pay the teacher’s salary for several years. < In 1912 the first graduation class embarked from Washington High School. Mr. B. B. Mitchell was principal and Mils Carol Settle assistant principal. The offering was: 4 years of Latin; 4 years of Math; 4 years of English; 2 years of History; 2 years of Science. (No electives). The trustees for Hampton Disrtkt were: B. R. Miller, C. C.: Witherow, George W. Kinsey. The superintendent was John H. Booten. M ■ The principal’s salary was $100 per month, the other teachers received $40. There were 80 pupils in high school. Each grade teacher had 80 pupils, thus a total of 120. ' In the first graduating class— 1912—there were five pupile: • Judith Miller, president and salutatorian; Marguerite Heterick, _ prophet; Jessie Taylor Harris, poet; Achsah Miller Dudley, valedictorian; Edward Keyser, his to nun. In 1912 there were no school * buses to csrry the pupils to and from school. Instead of a paved walk, there was a mud path. On either side of the road the children viewed --Aft. Salem orchards instead of Mt. Salem homes- The school was almost isolated. If the child lived too faf from school to walk, he came in a buggy or on horseback. Behind the school building there Was a shed where horses could be tied. , Hot lunches were unthought of, except in dreams. A cold sandwich in the dinner pail provided lunch for the hungry child. Ai we take part in the commencemdfit exercises of the class of ’50 mt minds can but wander to the fontrast between the school days of 1912 and the school days of 1950. The school building now.has 1.1. class rooms, an auditorium, a library, a Home Ec. department, a shop and a cafeteria. 4 The offering consists of: • 4 years of English; 4 years of Social Studies; 3 years of Math; . 2 years of Science; 2 years of Latin; 4 years of Home Ec.; 4 years of Agriculture; 2 years of Shop; 1 year of Bible and Economics. Mr. 1). C. Link is principal With 15 teachers assisting him. There has been a great increase in the salary of the teachers. In the graduating class of 1950 there are 14 pupils. ' These pupils have comfortable methods of transportation. They have. the opportunity to enjoy good wholesome lunches prepared in the cafeteria. What is even more important is that these pupils have a greater opportunity of developing their individual abilities through organizations such as Glee Chib, First Aid Club, Library Club, F.H.A. and F.F.A.. Electing capable pupils to the Student Council, and class officers, provides valuable lessons in self government.

C. Link, Principal There are several qualities in America and her people that seta this nation apart as distinctive among the nations of the world. Among these are: an unwilling* ness to become stagnant by be* coming too satisfied; abundant and bubbling energy, willingness to try that which is new; readiness to try the impossible; a strong feeling of individuality and a keen - sense of the worth of an individual and his right to an equal chance at life and happiness. Of them all, the last is perhaps the most important and distinctive, and it is the ona to be most zealously preserved. To you who are coming to the D. C. Link close of your high school careers, let me say that you are typically American. You meet everyone of the specifications just mentioned and I would like to point out a few wdrthwUHe things for you to think about as you- **go on your way. Up to now, you have had very” little chance to the full expression to your own ideas and individuality. It is true that you have in a measure, been able to formulate some of your own ideas and carry out some of your own plans, but mostly*' your activities have been as some older person ~~har"directcth—Henceforward—your_ opportunities for self expression will increase as the years come and go. New fields of service and endeavor will open to you. Many times you will be faced with the challenge of doing things which seem impossible. Often dis. couragement and disappointments ' will appear to have joined hands in trying to break your spirit and morale. Occasionally you will be tempted to give up and say, “It can’t be done.” But remember tjwf^Yhe person who has enough indi'idjality and determination to . stay with'whatever he has set out to accomplish, until his task is completed is the one who makes a favorable and lasting impression on those with whom he is associated. The one who never completes any task soon forfeits his right to any further chances of opportunity. “God-helps those who help themselves” is an old adage that is quite true. You will find that others are not going to be willing to do for you, that wihch you can do for yourself. You will also find that you must depend on your own resourcefulness and initiative to find ways and means of performing yoUr task satisfactorily. If yon are to Have an equal chance with your fellows at life and happiness, you must do your part. You must be, willing to make some sacrifices, and to forego tome things in order to <be able to concentrate your energies on whatever you are doing. No doubt'home of yon already have in n&id what you plan <to make yonr life's work. Others of yon have not folly decided. But regardless of what yen plan to do, devote your life and time to it. Let me say here that you will not find any one profession or occupation that, is absolutely perfect in every respect. They all ha ye their good and bad points. Yon are-the gn who has to decide these things and yon are the one who has to see yonr plans through to a finish. Toil is an ingredient of any real success. Thomas Edison is credited with saying that success is one-tenth inspiration and ninetenths perspiration. The inspiration comes first, and it should stay with us aD the way; hot we do not cross the goal line until ws are dripping with perspiration— and sometimes net oh til we drop is a»X*n»eL«v. *ha Wll that ww* carried until it aswaii we Pictured above is the graduating class from Washington High School of 1950.

Estes Friday, May 19 a Glee Club operetta, "The Minister’s Aunt,” under ■ the direction ' of Mrs*. Catherine Cahen and Mrs. Hazel Corbin, was presented in the school auditorium at 1:30 p.m. All twelve grades were present and we were very glad indeed to see some of our neighbors here, and we do hope they enjoyed the program as much as the members of W.H.S. The characters were dressed in gay nineties costumes, some of whicjj Were lent by neighboring people in the county, others were made of crepe paper by the Home Economics students with the help of their advisor, Miss Owen. Jo Ellen Worth and Lois Walter are due a lot of credit for their solos. Jo Ellen sang “My Heart Has A Song” and Lois sang “A Patchwork Quilt” and “Advice.” Our pianist, Lucy Mae Smith, did a splendid job of playing for the operetta and she also played while Mrs. Cahen sang “My Hero” which she did beautifully. Since we had never had an operetta we must say this was certainly one of the most eagerly awaited happenings of the year. Senior Motto * “Not on the Heights but Climbing.” „ Class color—pink and white. Class flower—pink roses and white roses, .i-st* could run no farther. Courage is essential, too. We would do well to remember the old story of the drummer boy who was ordered to sound retreat but replied that he didn’t know how— and sounded the charge instead— and saw the troops fling them* selves forward to victory instead of defeat. Seniors, choose a right step and ' keep climbing, though the rocks be rugged for: In the ladder of lives we are given to climb Each life counts for only a second’s time. The one thing to do la this brief little space le te make the world glad that pea are in the roe*. Last Assembly Presented Mrs. Moffett and her English class had charge of assembly last Friday morning at 11 o’clock. A play “Dates Incorporated* was presented. Characters were Arthur Powers — Rodney Vest; Ralph Stout—James Goode; Peggy Chalmers — Rosie Mae Mills; Frances Blake—Virginia KeyseP; Miss Miller—Ruth Ccwgill; Mr. Chalmers — George Lawrence; Charles Remington — Harvey Sftxwt; Sarah T.—Delores Foster; Bill Butts — Shirley Woodward; Barbara Fincham acted as mistress of ceremonies. The seniors breathed a sigh of relief when assembly was over. For months they had been dreading this hour. “The hour of the speeches.” But as it turned out it wasn't so bad. Instead of making individual speeches, they joined in their class song Class Song: Now the time has come, to bid you all adieu, Soon we’ll be pouring out into the world, to fulfill our place intended there for us, After we’re gone oh, please remember us. Now is the hour, when we must say good-bye, soon we’ll be leaving Dear Old Washington High. After we’re gone <we’ll always think of you and to this school we’ll be forever true. To our Principal, Mr. Lank, we - say, thanks for the help you’ve given us each day. Teachers schoolmates too, we all say thanks to you, for the happiness we’ve shared our school days through. Senior Lucy Mae Smith then turned over the piano to a junior Lois Walter, to the heart-tearing •trains of “Auld Lang Syne”. Miss Colvin and the 14 seniors filed out.

Physical Ed Tests %ing Conducted If you hoar any groans around school now you will know that the State Physical Education test program is in full swing. Twice a year the teachers are required to give these tests, in order t$ determine the children’s individual needs. For instance, the "push ups” and "pull ups” are used to test arm and shoulder strength. If in this group the student. is below average we know that he 'should' be .given more attention daily to conditioning exercises, sueh as game skills, which contribute to the development of arm and shoulder .strength. Events in other groups are given to test "trunk” and "leg” strength, as .well as the shoulder and arms. The <f.estion of the season now is, "who will win the softball tournament?” All the captains rase at the trophy, hoping their names will go on it. But there are only three teams eligible, Mary Burke, Lois Uts, and Jo laien worth. They have not lest a game.

Goes Christmas.” After the play we gave out Christmas gifts and sang carols. Also on , December 22 our holiday for Christmas began. We returned January 3, with thoughts of examinations which were just ahead. un April 14, tne seniors went on a tour of^ educational value in Washingtno, D. C. Although it ’ turned out to be a cold day they ■ 'had a 'wonderful time. On April 28 we had our second and last social of the year. On May 4 F.F.A. and F.H.A. chapters went to Hawksbill on a picnic. The food was provided by the chapters and prepared by the Home Ec girls. * On May 12 the seniors presented “Calling All Girls,” to approximately three-hundred people. The play was directed by Mrs. D. D. Miller, with all sixteen seniors participating. On May 16 a music festival was given at Washington High School.

French Slaughter, prominent dairyman and owner of Brooltside ^ farm near Mitchells, haa recently completed another open ditch drainage project. Last Summer Mr. Slaughter installed one system of drainage ditches on another drainage area on his farm. “The open ditches that were built last year are doing an excellent job,” said Mr. Slaughter,” “and the land around them has dried out very well.” % Nearly every farm in Culpeper and Rappahannock counties has some land that is not well drained and could be benefitted by either closed drains or a system of open ditches. “Swampy areas in pasture fields are a great disadvantage in several ways,” says T. <3. Ragsdale, manager of Beauregard farm, Brandy. “They cause an inconvenience in mowing pastures® they do not produce desirable ■ vegetation for cattle and most important ef all they encourage foot rot in cattle which may prove to be very costly, and even the loss of the animal.” Many farmers are- whipping the ■;;» rainy weather his year by utilising their first cutting of alfalfa as grass ensilage rather than attempting to make—hay. The grass— and legume" mixtures may be placed in the silo directly after mowing providing a preservative is used. If the grass is allowed to wilt in the field before picking it up no preservative is necessary. Both methods are used satisfactorily in the Culpeper Soil Conservation District, by many farmers. A silo seems to be one of the best answers to saving the first cutting of alfalfa and surplus Ladino Clover, Orchard grass that is not needed for grazing in the early spring. Grass farming can be an economical but profitable operation on farms ' where close growing grasses and legumes can bo grown. This method of farming is also excellent soil and water conservation. Lightning Enriches Soil Lightning, which sometimes catises damage, does far more good than harm. In its passage through the air oxygen and nitrogen are combined by the electric arc action to form oxides which unite with the rain drops to form nitric acid. In this manner the soil is enriched to the extent of 100 million tons of nitric acid annually—more than is produced by the combined output of ail the world’s fertilizer plants. Fishery Biologist Studies Streams in Shenandoah The superintendent of Shen- 1 andoah National Park has announced' that Fishery Research Biologist T. K. Chamberlain of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service is now engaged in a comprehensive study of htreams within the Park to determine what is necessary to accomplish the ParkVobjective of providing good sport fishing during the season, in keeping with National Park Service policies. Mr. Chamberlain, who has been on this assignment since April 14, is well qualified in this work and has had considerable experience in fresh-water fisheries management. He was detailed in 1936 to work with the U. S. Forest Service on the Pisgah National Forest in the development of a trout fishing policy for the Southern Appalachian National Forests. In 1941 his assignment was a study of trout streams and warm water farm ponds or “tanks” in Arizona and New Mexico for the Indian Service. Since then he has been on fishery assignments for has Service in Texas, Colorado, Florida and Oklahoma. The present survey at Shenandoah National Park should provide information on what management is necessary to provide the best possible sport fishing consistant with the basic policies of the National Park Service, one of which is that wildlife shall be fully protected under natural conditions. The taking of fish within • national park, therefore, it a special concession to the followers of one highly popular form of outdoor recreation. However, it should be with as little interference to the natural fish population as conditions will permit. The angler should expect the fish in streams of a national park to be in the original and primitive conditions under whic' his forefathers found them a century or more ago; and the fish in as nearly ^a wild condition as possible. The streams in Shenandoah National Park which have already been studied contain natural fish food in abundance. On these streams it may no? be difficult to maintain a balanced population ■ of both immature and legal-sized trout through natural reproduction alone. Many sportsmen prefer the wild or “native” trout which more fully tests their angling ability. A considerable number of these sportsmen have expressed approval of Park regulations, such as the use of artificial lure only, and are wholeheartedly in agreement with the Park's fisheries management CHURCH CALENDAR (FOURTH SUNDAY ^ AMISSVILLE BAPTIST j Rev.
