* ' s * r : VOL. 1—NO. 32. WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 8. 1950 $2.00 Per Year County Borrows $9,900 To Finish Fiscal Year County Health Nurse Assured By Unknown Donor The sum of $3,900 was borrowed under the authorization of the Board of Supervisors, in meeting Wednesday, June 7, when the report of Treasurer Robert L. Brown showed insufficient funds to meet the expenses. This sum will be borrowed on June 30, to be paid by the 1959 taxes. The sum was kept this low by the fact that an amount iwas transferred from the Dog Fund to the general fund and there was also a transfer of about $2900 from the Hampton’ District Road Fund to the general fund. The board of supervisors was requested <to accept a gift pf $800 from an anonymous donor in order to make up the necessary amount to get a county health nurse. The Tuberculosis Association had stated previously that $590 waa available; from their funds for one year and possibly two, if necessary. At present work is being done to see if $500 can be obtained from $1040 vin the local Red Cross funds to be transferred to the county health fund and the nurse will be assured. The supervisors gladly accepted the gift, for with the situation such as it is, there were no funds available in the county treasury for such, and the board was glad to accept the generous gift, providing for the county nurse. A report from Charles Wood on the county 1950 census was read (a copy appears in the paper). The decline in population of the county was cause for comment. It was voted to increase the taxes on carnivals in the county by a raise of 50 per cent over the old taxes. The former taxes were: on shows, one to two loads, $5; 3-6 loads, $8; 6-10 loads, $15; 11-20 loads, $20; 21-SQ loads, $30; 31-50 loads, $40; and ovor 50 loads, $50. On side < shows,, and - curiosity shows, etc., on a lot with a circus, owned by other than the circus, $15 per day. The new tax rates will add 50 per cent to these taxes. ment of property in the county will arrive about July 15 to begin the work of re-assessment. The board passed a resolution to have state auditors for the accounts and records of the county, including the board of supervisors, the school board, and the board of welfare, for the period ending June 30, 1950.

Write-In Ballots Await Tuesday Town Election With no candidates filed, the ballots for Tuesday’s town election in Washington are printed with the block squares and blank lines. Voters will place the X in the block and write in the seven names, one for mayor and six for members of the town council. According to information, a list of candidates — all women — has been compiled: Mrs. Achsah Dudley Miller, Miss Ruby Jenkins, Mrs. Dorothy Hawkins, and Miss Elizabeth Racer. It is understood that these ladies have agreed to serve if elected. The names of several others are omitted because they had not been questioned as to whether they would take on the duties, if elected. The incumbents are; Mayor W. F. Moffett, Jr., and councilmen, L. J. Turner, C. E. Giles, Upton G. Weakley, H. T. Updike, D. C. Updike, and C. T. Bruce. John R. Harris Retires Chief Pay Clerk John Richard Harris retired on Thursday, June 1, from the U. S. Coast Guard after 30 years of service. He is the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. James Taylor Harris and the brother of Mrs. Elizabeth DeBergn and Mrs. Jessie Cox of Rappahannock. A picture of Mr. Harris sitting at his office desk, along with avery complimentary history of his past service, appeared in the June issue of the U. S. Coast Guard Magazine. In the magazine article Mr. Harris is referred to as “Uncle John” or “Slick," as many knew him, and he was considered to be one of the service's best liked v. men. He enlisted first in the navy in June 1920 at Cleveeand, Ohio, as an apprentice seaman and “immediately he began to striket for yeoman," states the article. . * > “In the year 1940, considered "a busy year for the Coast Guard, which was growing by leaps ani' bounds, promotions were rampant and “Uncle John" was among the first to be swept along with a rapid period of promotions. In .1944 he foond himself "in the capacity of Supply Officer on the USS Monticello. It seems that the revision period caught up with him and he dropped on-half stripe and reported aboard the Duane as a lieutenant, assigned to France and supply duties.” Again in 1947, according to the article, the ladder of success lost a rung and he (was further reverted to the rank of Chief Warrant Pay Clerk with orders to proceed to the CG Training Station at Groton, Conn., where he was stationed until his retirement. The future plans of Mr. Harris are to enter college under the GI Bill of Rights, now that his retirement has become effective. “ ‘Uncle John’ will never forget nor will his classmates forget him. From battle wagon to patrol boa*, from the 327’s to the world’s largest transports, he has brightened the corner of every vessel with his cheery smile and his friendly attitude,” states the Coast Guard Magazine. E. S. Wagner Accepts Rockingham Position Eugene S. Wagneij has resigned his position as agriculture instructor of Washington and Sperryville schools to accept a position as agriculture instructor, at Montivideo.

Miller, chair Party at ‘Thornton Hill* Will Honor Miss Hite On Friday, June 16, between the hours of 3 and 5 p.m., at “Thornton Hill,” the home of Mrs. William Meade Fletcher at Sperry%ille, friends of Miss Mary Elizabeth Hite will entertain at a complimentary party honoring Rappahannock’s new authoress, in recognition of her recent publication, “My Rappahannock Story Book, ’ which is just off the press. The county community is invited to honor Miss Dolly Hite on the occasion of the publication of her book. “My Rappahannock Story Book” Is Off Press Cards have been received in the county announcing that “My Rappahannock Story Book,” by Mary Elizabeth Hite, is off the press. The publishers announce that Miss Hite’s new book contains many intimate stories, anecdotes, romances and much hitherto unpublished material on the old homes and families of Rappahannock county. It has been one of the neglected counties in Vriginia history, so the Hite story book may prove to be one basis of intensive research in the future. My Rappahannock Story Book is tha romance of people of many diff :erent nationalities who found* ed and settled this county several centuries ago—and who, incidentally, made of it a great place in which to lire. The author tells the stories of the cavaliers from Tidewater who came to the section; of Francis Thornton . who built for his sons beautiful “Montpelier” and lovely old “Thornton Hill,” of Henry Miller, the Prussian officer who after being persecuted in his homeland came to Rappahannock to find his “haven of rest.” Then, there are the accounts of the Gordons, noble Scottish clansmen, who. found the scenery comparable to that ef their be- loved highlands; at “Wakefield Manor” when t he Duchess ef Windsor <Wallis Warfield) often visited her cousin, Mrs. Basil Gordon. Also, the accounts of “Montpelier” in the F,T, Valley, where lived Caroline Homassel, wife of Dr. Philip Thornton. In her diary, which is reprinted in the book, she tells of her grandfather escaping from the Bastille, of her love for Alfred Madison, nephew of the President, and the dramatic eye-witness account of the burning of the old Richmond Theatre in 1811, and the saving of her life by Dr. Thornton whom she afterwards married. Miss Hite’s book is divided into three parts. The first part con tains a valuable collection of pictures of old homes whose architecture is as varied as those who dwelt within them and who have added the “character lustre” to an historical book of this type. With each picture of the story of the home, ot the old mill, or the structure. , The second part'of the volume tills of old chnrches and their ministers. It is a valuable contribution ' to- ‘ future religious Virginiansr The third part is made up of miscellaneous stories—stories that will be preserved permanently in this book through the careful study and research of Miss Hite. The author of “My Rappahannock Story Book” was born at “Mont Medi," ancestral home of her people,^tucked away in F.T. Valley. “Dolly” Hite, as she is known to her many friends, spent her childhood there, riding and playing with her five brothers. There she developed a deep love for her own spot of earth that has influenced her life—-and which has made this book possible. The occasion of the publication of this,', the first large and exhaustive book on Rappahannock county, will be of immense interest, not only to Virginians, but to those in other sates whose ancestral roots are in the Old Dominion. ' The .book is published this month, . , ... . 'Washington Cafe* Will Open July 1 “Washington Cafe” will open fpr business on Saturday, July 1, under the management of Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Jenkins.

At Woodville the agent taught the members how to set a table properly, went over the “Basic 7," helped the girls plan a dinner for a week, taught the girls how to make a tossed salad, French dressing and a cheese souffle. Amissville 4-H club had one of the largest summer attendances that the club has had in the last two years. In the morning a discussion was held on the Bingo party the club will sponsor June 17. The club members have collected nice prizes for the party. Then it was decided when and where the club would meet this silmmer. The members divided for project work. All the girls taking clothing, assembled in one room to go over with their leader,, Mrt. Katherine Riley, the requirements and the rest of the girls assembled in a room with Mrs. Graham Hack, ley to learn of the meal planning preparation and service prejeet "requirements.

Anyone wishing to have their canner tested, bring it to the office or to your home demonstration meeting. All canners should be tested every two years. ¥ # * Homemaker’s Items Do your French fried potatoes ever turn out to be soggy and lukewarm? It’s easy to send them to the table piping hot and golden brown. The trick is to partially cook them about two hours before you need them—cook about five minutes in deep fat at 370-degrees F. Then just before serving, reheat fat to 390-degrees F. and copk potatoes about two minutes, or until brown. Drain on absorbant paper an dserve immediately. Among all the many “do’s and; don’t” of mbat cookery, there is one that is more important than all the rest. Remember never to boil meat. High temperatures toughen even the most tender meat. Keep the cooking temperature just below boiling, or at a simmering temperature for the best results. Use your alarm clock when cooking food in the kitchen while doing other housework. Set it so it will ring when food should' be removed from the stove. If a small amount of glycerine is added to the last washing water, woolens will feel soft and fluffy when used. Glycerine also is good to use when washing pigskin or other leather gloves. -Burn your grapefruit, orange, and lemon peels in the stove to cUhto' but *<fuY stove pipe, ^ Liberty Bell on Exhibition In Washington Monday George H.

The program, sponsored by the American Legion, will be held at 7 o’clock in the evening when a parade, forming at L. V. Merril’s home, will proceed down Main street, turn at corner of the C.T. Bruce residence and conclude at the Courthouse. A program follows at the Courthouse and here will be heard the ringing of the Liberty Bell. When the Treasury announced in March that a Savings Bond drive would be conducted with the Liberty Bell as its symbol and '‘Save for your Independence” as its Blogan, the copper industry volunteeerd an unprecedented suggestion They offered to have exact copies of the Liberty Bell made to provide impetus to the Drive. The Treasury accepted this generous offer, and Arthur L Bigelow, one of America’s foremost bellmasters, volunteered his assistance in designing the duplicate beUs. Bigelow, a professor of engineering as well as bellmasiei at Princeton University, made an exhaustive study of the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia and a search for a foundry to produce the bells began. . The United States lacked a bell foundry of the type necessary to produce these bells in time for the drive’s opening. A little town in France, called Annecy, where the art of bellmaking has been practiced for centuries, was selected for the task of making these bells and was welcomed by this little community, which served in the French resistance movement during the second World War. Casting of the bells began in, late March at th# Anneney-leVieux, Haute Savoie, France, with the first shipment of thirteen bells arriving April 21. The little community was excited about the project and poured the best of their craftsmanship and art into the molds that formed the Liberty Bells. They finished their first thirteen bells on time, and there was a warm welcome reception in New Jersey when they arrived April 21. Bellmasters claim that these bells because of their exact similarity to the original, reproduces perfectly the sound of the long-silent Liberty BelL On Monday, June 12, the citizens of Rappphannock will see their Liberty Bell. They will hear its voice at special ceremonies which are being arranged by the American Legion. L»on't tail to see your Liberty Bell.

Rappahannock News Published Thursday Morning 1 at f! 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 Unpleasant News! Charier Wood reported most an. pleasant news for the hoard of supervisors yesterday in the facts of the 1950 census. ■ Some of us were brought up on the old saying: “If you can’t say something pleasant, keep your anopth shut” ... Of course, Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch stack strictly to the “say something pleasant” regardless of circumstances. when Mr. Wiggs exhibited no redeeming characteristics, she still said “Well, you know, he writes a good hand.” . If Charles Wood doesn’t look out, some of us will be saying he “writes a good hand,” as the only pleasant thing we can think of about *him. His dismal picture states that by 1970 Rappahannock eitisens will resemble the dodo bird, or a dinosaur, if you prefer. That makes me most unhappy, -fiince “the first hundred years are the hardest,” I had magnificent plans of spending the second hunsired of mine snugly situated right .here in the county. Now, it so happens my age will not be. 100 by 1970, and that sad prediction of ■Charles Wood’s leaves me with my life’s ambition nipped in the bud. Even if I am the one exception to prove this declining population theory, it is still an unhappy picture. Rappahannock is beautiful, yes, but who wants to live here by himself? It’s Rappahannock people, too, who make up the -county’s charm. Maybe Mr. Wood’s census calls for an organizatioif. They say there’s a Society for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities. What is needed here is an organization for the preservation of Rappahannock’s population. (Don’t look my; way; the extent of my co-operation is limited.) The organization or society or whatever-you-call-it must save Rappahannock before we become a fit subject for the SPVA. Fun aside; it’s no laughing mat. ter throughout. The picture does -present a serious problem,Now we see why taxes are higher: there are 1000 less people to help pay them. Something should be done to bring small business into Rappa^bannock; some way to furnish employment. Suggestions have poured from every side since it began to be hinted that the bounty population would show a decline. One fellow thinks there might be branches of factories that this location would suit; another suggested that an apple saucecannery could run similar to the apple juice plant; still another thinks there may be a lumber business possible; and other suggestions go on. Surely a county chamber of commerce couldn’t do any harm. It’s an encouraging sign just to hear the suggestions. At least many people realize the necessity of action. Railroads are not essential to small business. With the highways that Rappahannock has products could be trucked to any point. Frederick, Bedford 4-Her* Chosen Delegates to Camp Roxanne Rogers, Winchester, . and Wilfond W. Spradlin, of Bedford county, have been chosen as the two 4-H club members to represent Virginia at the annual leadership training camps at Camp Minniwanca, Michigan. The announcement was made this week by Dr. William Skelton and Miss Hallie Hughes, of the State 4-H office at VPI, who explained that the delegates are chosen on basis of club work, leadership ability, and community activities in competition with all 4H club members in the state over 14 years of age. Roxanne Rogers, a club member of seven years, will attend the camp from July 31 to1 August 13. yTh* Tim* Hom Comm,9 | the WakM mU .. ^ The county seat of Rappahannock — the first Washington — is a-whirl over the coming town election, Tuesday, June 13. (It has been suggested to Jock Brown that he sell ringside seats to help with the county deficit.) It all started something like this: no one filed, nor qualified, so the ballots were printed blank— a blank line for mayor and six ’ blank lines for the councilmen. Someone suggested an allwoman ticket. They got the six council-ladies all lined up, but had some trouble finding a lady to agree to be mayor. "Snippy” Miller says the women have been running the town always, anyway, so they might as well do it legally. When no lady mayor was located, someone suggested leaving His Honor, Mayor William F. Moffett, Jr., in this position and placing the six council-ladies with him. “Oh, No!” commented another kind-hearted citizen, “What has Billy done to deserve that?” Well, come what may! Rappahannock elections have been decidedly on the warm side in previous days and we lived through it. This “battle of the sexes,” come Tuesday, cant be any worse than some elections in the past. Back in 1928 — in case you cant remember—it got to the point where families hardly spoke. They tell the story that in the famous Smith—Hoover fracas, one of the Jimmy Settle youngsters pinned a Hoover button on pa's back. Since he didn’t know which one of the kids was guilty, he just paddled the^whole crowd of ’em! It takes more nerve than here present to spit out a little quotation that flashed to mind when first news came of the coming election in Washington. Methinks ’tis Euripides. Meleager, Fragment 625. Why these bits of childhood reading flash to mind has always been a puzzle. It could be due to a teacher I had back in one of the grades. “Settin’ in” was never a passive' affair with this schoolma’am. She saw to it you were employed. The task was usually memorizing. Retrospection convinces me I must have been apprehended in more than a normal share of mischief—otherwise how could I constantly have these bits of miscellaneous quotations popping up. Many a season has elapsed since I sat under the stern but benevolenteyed! this teacher^ Long since have I forgot the bit of misbehavior pertinent to the occasion, but still do I recall “London is a vast congeries of isolated municipalities which have coalesced by acretion.” “Recite it; spell each word, give the meaning, and use it in another sentence,” she stated. Yes, ma’am. * * * Every now and then there arises the old argument about the authenticity of Washington’s claim to “The First Washington.” From this corner the opinion is: It is “The First Washington” until proven otherwise. Circumstantial evidence is in favor of George Washington’s having laid off the town in August 1749, and that stands until someone proves he didn’t. * * # Rappahannock.is rightfully becoming quite puffed up over its ^famous daughter, Miss Dollie Hite. With her “My Rappahannock Story Book” juri. off the press, she is the toast of many others besides her friends in her own county. * * * This busy season on the farm brings to mind a pithy quote of a few years back. Finding himself a slave to the multitudinous weeds in the garden, the fellow reported: “I squared myself and looked at that ground. ‘Look here,’ I says, ‘I own you; you don’t own me.’ And I just quit working like a dog.’’ Very fine sentiments, If you can get by with it. However, most any farmer — or businessman — will inform you that the farm owns him (and runs him) no matter how much he might enjoy saying he owns and runs the farm. ¥ ¥ ¥ This is a favorable season for slipping .roses. If you have a particularly satisfactory rose bush, Virginia Wins Awards ' * In Safety Program Announcement «u made recently by Col. C. W. Woodson, Jr., Superintendent of State Police and Executive Chairman of the Governor’s Highway Safety Committee, that Virginia, in spite of an increase in traffic fatalities during 1949, won four national awards for her safety program. Awards listed by Col. Woodson were first place in her group for outstanding performance in trace engineering, given by the Institute of Traffc Engineers; group first place for outstanding performance in traffic-law enforcement given by the International Association of Chiefs of Police; special citation by the. AAA for the excellence of her pedestrian program and honorable mention from the National Safety Council in its, annual traffic safety contest. Col. Woodson added that, in the Safety Council’s contest, Virginia was tops for the Southern Region ifi public information, accident records, traffic legislation, traffic engineering, enforcement, school safety and motor vehicle inspection. In addition, she was given special commendation for public information, school safety and accident records. In the light of these honors won in national competition, the Safety Official stated that it is more than apparent that Virginia’s substantial death increase was due to lack of individual co-operation. “Virginia's program,” be said, "has been adjudged sound by competent and impartial judges but this disgraceful killing continues for no other reason thap suicidal carelessness in driving and walklag, Cities with populations of ftom 5,000 to 10,000 in Virginia which will receive a place on the National Safety Council’s honor roll for no 1949 fatalities were Clifton, Forge, Covington, Hampton, Harrisonburg, Marion, Radford, Salem, South Boston and South Norfolk. Arlington took national first place among her population group in the National Safety Council’s contest and in the Institute of Traffic Engineers’ contest for achievement in traffic engineering. Col. Woodson reported that the Commonwealth’s awards were accepted by Governor Battle at the 16th Annual Virginia Statewide Safety Conference held in Roanoke June 1, 2, and 3. romiry rederation To Observe 25th Anniversary The VtFglnia StafePoultry FecTof activities at sessions at V.P.I. eration will celebrate its 25th year July 6 and 7.

Starkey, the Scout Executive, who will direct the camp, is urging all troops not now registered to complete their registration as soon as possible. There is room for 10 or 12 boys in the fourth week, and room for 87 in the second., Starkey also announced that the staff is practically complete and that contracts have been sent out. He stated that the staff is one of the finest ever selected for camp, and that the program should be one of the best ever. Four new rifles have been purchased for useon the rifle range, and two canoes have been added to the fleet of boats and canoes. Saturday, May 20, the seventh annual Rock Enon Day was held and in spite of the weather 100 people came to give the camp its annual face lifting. The dining tables were all painted, as well as the kitchen. New plaster put on the walls of the walk-in refrigerator and Fred Bame has installed refrigeration equipment, which will change the refrigerator from the use of ice to the use of electricity.

Amos, associate 'plant pothoiogist at V.P.I. Amos says for the past two years weather conditions have been very favorable for black rot on grapes. The solution? Generally, you’ll need to spray at least three times during the growing season. To control diseases use ferbam chemicals or bordeaux mixture. To control insects at the same time add DDT wettable powder or methoxychlor. The first spray should be appled when the shoots are 6 to 10 inches long, or when the third leaf shows. Make the seeond application just before the blossoms open, and the third after the bios, soms fall. No spray should be applied to the open blossoms. To prevent wormy grapes, spray just before the berries touch in the elueter. • was overshadowed by Troop 8 from Shenandoah, who drove 80 miles with 10 boys and arrived at camp by 8 a.m. They took the project of repairing latrines and wash ho usee.

Highway Dep’t Making Surrey of Farm-to*Market Secondary Roads The State Highway Department has initiated'a Statewide survey to determine the long-range cost of 'bringing Virginia’s secondary highway system to standards adequate for present-day farm-tomarket travel. The department has established these long-range objectives for developing the secondary system: 1. Hard surfacing all roads carrying 50 or more vehicles daily. 2. All weather surfacing on roads carrying 10 to 50 vehicles. 3. Light surfacing on roads carrying less than 10 vehicles. 4. Strengthening all bridges, and culverts to • minimum capacity of 10 tons. 5. Eliminating all open fords. Engineers emphasized that the; survey is not designed to develop an immediate plan of construction -—its purpose is simply to inventory the needs, to determine the cost and to estimate how quickly the objectives can be reached. The total cost is expected to run upwards of 1200,000,000.- —— Time required to attain objectives will vary from county to county—depending on the amount of heavy work, the extent of the needs, and the volume of necps WITH 4-SPEED TRANSMISSION • Wkt'i ftmrf fordo* Iroctof.rotv*. 4->»ood trommlioion «i*« rl»h* M>ood far tHo DOZENS •f job* yov 4* wMt Simplicity fowar.

'A- -v; * Secondary roads in the State have shown steady improvement since the end of the war when the General Assembly added a penny to the gasoline tax and ear-marked it for the fnrfn-to-market roads. At the beginning of this year, hard surfaced mileage on the secondary system stood at 11,179. The stabilization program which the highway department launched in 1946 gave an all weather surface to thousands of other miles of school bus, RFD and farm-tomarket roads. Much of this afforded only temporary relief, engineers explained, relief necessitated by widespread mud conditions which followed •wartime years when road improvements were virtually suspended. '/ Many roads improved since the war still require widening, more adequate drainage, new bridges ; and new. surfaces. & , ^, & 'i% The cost survey will determine how many miles must be rebuilt! , ’how many miles require a hard surface, light surface or all weather surface, how many bridges must be rebuilt, and the cost of each operation. The bridge situation intensifies the problem of developing the secondary system, engineers pointed out. In many counties a large number of bridges will require replacement at great cost’. Recently the department listed Mme 3,600 secondary bridges with ^ a less than 10 ton capacity. Bring ing these up to standard, poses the toughest problem faced by the State in developing thq secondary road system, highway offici,.ale commented.' . -. ‘ Soil Saver Notes A joint meeting of county forestry committees from Orange, Madison, Greene, Culpeper, and Rappahannock counties met in Madison Wednesday, May 31, at 8 p.m. in the War Memorial building, to plan a program of action for the coming year.

The award to Mr. Myers, the only one in the five counties comprising the Culpeper Soil Conservation District, was made in recognition of the management and pro. tection of his 500 acres of timberland in conformance with the standards established by the Virginia Forestry Committee. In spite of numerous rains last week, farm drainage continues to be an important phase of bhe work of Soil Conservation Service technicians in the Culpeper District. D. French Slaughter, Mitchells, completed additional drainage work. W. H. Hurt, Batna, has cleaned, widened, straightened and sloped the banks on a portion of Brook Run which quite frequently overflows. E. W. Sims, Crooked Run, has recently drained wet and swampy areas in pasture and cropland. All drainage work was accomplished by a dragline rented from a local contractor. The dirt removed from the ditches will be spread by a bulldozer at a later date, when dry. With Chemicals Either 2-4-D or Ammate will kill the troublesome poison ivy, says John M.

History of Willis Chapel Willi* Chap], a small Methodist church at the foot* of the mountains on the highway between Front Royal and Flint Bill,: has a history surrounded by memories of the Civil War. Today it is * known at “Willis Memorial.” I This chapel waB built in memory of the Rev. Edward Willis on the place where he volunteered to give up his life, October 14, 1864, for a fellow soldier, one of the famous Mosby Rangers. The construction of Willis Chapel was brought about by the missionary efforts of the late Joseph Reid, father of Charles Garrison Reid of Washington. Mr. Reid twas a well known cattle dealer of Rappahannock county, and also the chief corner stone and one of the main pillars of financial support in the Flint Hill Methodist "church, in which he served as steward and superintendent of the Sunday School. The home of Mr. Reid was not far from the place .'where the Rev. Willis was hanged. Rev. Willis, a chaplain of the Mosby Rangers was a member of .« leading Rappahannock family, •but his home was near Rapidan Station, Fauquier county. An interesting reminiscence written by Mrs. Anna Hilldrup Pullen, mother of Mr& Fannie Eastham of Flint Hill, concerning th« early hiatory of Willis Chapel states, “More than half a century ago my father, the late Rev. John Wesley Hilldrup, a member of the Virginia Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, founded a Sunday school in a little one-room school house away up in the Blue Ridge mountains, west of Flint Hill. Then he commenced to preach there and continued to do so until he left the charge. Later a church was built near the school house and was called Shiloh, where during the successive years the Methodist preachers on the Rappahannock Circuit continued to preach. “In 1914 the quarterly con-: ference of the circuit ordered the . moving of the chapel from the original site, as there had been quite an exodus of people from that section, and the placing of it on the pike. This was done during the pastorate of Rev. A. P. Williams, and the nfcme *ras changed to jWiilis Chapel, and ■.concerning the change there is quite an interesting history, and it is as follows: “During the Civil War a deserter from the Northern army was met near Flint Hill by some of Mosby’s men, who being under the influence of whiskey accosted the man, some words ye re exchanged and the deserter was killed by the Confederate soldiers. They then threw his body in the nearby grove, the property of Colonel Thomas Settle, (father-in-law of the late Joseph Reid and father of the late George W. Settle of Flint Hill). Mosby’s Men, still somewhat intoxicated, went on FORD TRACTORS are real bargains because . . • e RUST COST IS 4^ • UPKEEP is &&&«# PERFORMANCE IS e RESALE VALUE IS To* owe it to yourself to see a Ford Tractor perform.

Settle, and he and his wife had gone immediately to the scene and after wrapping the body in a blanket, had quickly buried it. “A little later a detachment of Federal soldiers was passing through the village, and hearing through some sympathizer, perhaps, of the killing of one of their men, swore vengeance upon the ‘rebels/ even Jhough their man was a deserter. Soon they came upon two of Mosby’s men and captured them. One of these soldiers was a young Baptist preacher, whose name was Willis. The Yanks declared they would loll one of the men in retaliation of the death of their comrade, and compelled the men to draw straws and thus decide who was to dig. The companion of young Willis drew the fatal straw, and he immediately became greatly distressed, declaring that he was not ready to die and that he had five young children dependent upon him. “Then the young Christian warrior, Willis, stepped forward and surrendered his life, snaring he was ready to die and had no one dependent upon him—a marvelous instance of a great love, for ‘greater love hath no man than this that he lay down his life for a friend.’ "Hut before he had (rotten eold, Miss Lucy Twisdale, rid;Eg horseback looking for some cows that ha a been stolen from her widowed sister, Mrs. Alice Reid, lode upon this detachment of noithern soldiers. Like many another Virginia young woman in those trying days, she was brave and unafraid, and from the accounts handed down to us, we conclude that in the altercation between her and the soldiers she held up her side with courage and daring, and to such a degree that one of the soldiers told her, finally, if she did not hush, she would share the same fate of ‘that man.’ Turning, she saw the dead body of Willis hanging from a tree. “She returned to the village and reported what she had seen, and some of the citizens went to the scene, cut the body down, brought it to Flint'Hill and buried it in the church yard of the Bap- ’ tist church. From this incident th,e ‘Shiloh Church’ became in name ‘Willis Chapel.’ “A good many years ago, Mrs. Joseph Reid succeeded in getting a marker for the grave of Willis through Mrs. Bailie Davis, whose Husband was one of Mushy's Men.— It was put in place by Mr. Reid and Mr. Bob Eastham, who was also one of Mosby’s Men.” The wife of Joe Reid wrote to President Herbert Hoover and in graceful terms dwelt upon the President’s great interst in the mountain people of this section. She gave a brief history of the chuich, which had just been completed, and the reason for its construction, and presumed to ask him for a contribution. Almost by return mail came a check for $25 from the President, with a most gracious letter saying that as soon as possible for one of his secretaries to do so, he would have him look for a bell. In ten days, October 7, 1929, the bell arrived at Front Royal, express prepaid. Joe Reid, a wood-carver of great artistic skill and merit, in recognition of the President’s most gracious benefaction, sent him the masterpiece of all his productions, a can cut from the woods surrounding the President’s sum mer home on the Rapides where he vacationed during hi* yean in the White House. He also carved some beautiful souvenirs from some of the wood which he secured from the wreck* ed "Willi* tree.” These he sold and turned the money over to the repair fund of the church. The Willis tree was unwittingly cut down while some work was being done to the pike, leaving only the stump standing near the location where the chapel now stands. The Willis Memorial church stands today not only a monument to Chaplain Willis’ memory, but hlso a monument to the efforts of the late Mr. and Mrs. Joe Reid without whom it would never have been built.

Census Report Goes To Supervisors « Following is a copy of the report sent by Charlse Wood to the Board of Supervisors in meeting Wednesday morning: I wish to thank the Board of - Supervisors for the use of the Courthouse room in training the Census Enumerators. The enumeration is completed for the county. Below I am listing by district the populatoin for 1340 and 1950. District Hampton _ Piedmont_ Stonewall_ Hawthorne_ Jackson ___ Wakefield. 1940 1950 1764 1460 1091 1008 875 609 617 604 1291 1122 1570 1373 7208 6076 Total You will notice there has been a decline of 1132 in our county population in the past decade. This means that the county will have less money allotted for roads and schools by the state because the population is one of the factors used in determining a county's allotment. This rate of decline has been in progress for the past’ 30 years. In the last 30 years the population has declined > nearly 3000. If this trend continues, you can readily see what the county population will b^ in 1980. In other words, by 1980 each individual's county tax will be doubled. You will notice that Piedmont : enjoyed less decline than any other distrcit. This is due primari- V ly to the light seasonal industry located in that area. Doesn’t this indicate that our county needs some type of industry to maintain its present popultaion? I would like to see the Board appoint a Commission to look into the prospect of inviting a suitable industry to locate in the county. Our county is strategically located to serve the Atlantic Coast belt, both north and south.—Charles B. Wood. LEGION AUXILIARY TO MEET The American Legion Auxiliary will meet Tuesday, June 13, at 8 o’clock at the Washington Fire House.

Lyne f County Agent f It’s in the ground—finally ole mother earth dried off enough to get the outlying Corn Hybrid Experiment planted at Charles Estes’ place, just in back of Bradley Atkins’ Senice Station, on Saturday morning, June 3. There are sixteen different corn hybrid varieties in this test and have been planted in the following manner, each number representing a different variety, and its location on the test plot of land. FROZEN FOODS No IV Bjr H»y E. Moitr, Jr., Fruit mmI 1 Vegetable Proceasing Specialist Extension Service, VPI There’s an old saying that "you Can’t get something for nothing.” This applies to frozen foods too. Those fruits and vegetables we freeze can’t be a bit better after they are frozen than they were when we harvested them. Since we want a good high quality frozen food, let’s see what we can do now about assuring a supply of high grade fruits and vegetables to freeze. Some varieties do freeze better than others. But even with a good -'ariety, success depends a lot on how we grow and handle the crop. It is hardly necessary to talk •boat fertilizers and Insecticide* and their importance in producing high quality foods. But I believe that we should pay a little more attention to harvesting our crop. Maturity is a very important factor to consider when freezing foods. Undesirable qualities go hand in hand with both underripe and overripe fruits and vegetables.. The underripe fruits and vegetables are small, lacking in color and flavor, and would not produce a good frozen product. Overripe foods are perhaps even worse. Often vegetables get tough, and fruits get mushy. They spoil rapidly when thawed. It is generally true that the fruit that is best for eating out of hand is the best for freezing. Fruit should* kS 'troo-riponod to this degree, m the flavor 4a hotter than when it ia picked end laid until ripe. Vegetable* should be fully developed, but still tender and succulent. Use the same kind you would cook for dihner. Another point on harvesting. Handle your fruits and vegetables carefully. Do not bruise them. Bruised tissue is very susceptible to changes which make it unfit for freezing. The bruised spot turns brown, has an olT-flavor, and has to be trimmed off. Remember, you can't make quality. Your frozen food can be no better than the food you freeze. . ■ ■ t Mrs. Lily Barber was a dinner guest at “Clover Hill’’ Sunday.
