VOL. 1—NO. 33. WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 15, 1950 $2.00 Per Year Rappahannock Certified As “Disaster Area” Says Harrison Loan* Made-Possible To Fruit Grower* After Special Plea J And Assembling Data Rep. Burr P. Harrison was notified last Friday that tlfe Department of Agriculture had greed to certify Rappahannock county as a “disaster area” for the purpose of GpVernment loans to distressed _fruit growers.____ - Information on the procedure for obtaining loans will be made available through County Agent W. H. Lyne to interested growers. The plight of Rappahannock fruit farmers was emphasized to Department of Agriculture officials by Mr. Harrison, after County Agent Lyne had assembled data on crop failures. The Seventh District Representative pointed out that, although the number of pros, pective borrowers was small, their need of assistance eras nonetheless acute. It is estimated approximately five growers, representing a total _of 328 acres of orchards, will require Federal loans to continue their operations. Poultry Club Members Expected To Top Record Virginia 4-H poultry club members in 1950 are expected to top their last year’s record of raising over 200,000 chickens, turkeys, ducks and geese, says Denver Bragg, 4-H club specialist at VPI. Bragg reports that last year’s poultry club enrollment—a record 4,790—-also is expected to be exceeded. Nation-wide,. 4-H’ers last, year raised 8,000,000 birds. The enrollment figure stood at 150,000. Bragg explains that members are encouraged to carry out tile six main objectives of the program, which are: Learn the place _of poaltry in farm economy ; Ic'"quire skill in poultry raising; apk predate the nutritive value of \ eggs; learn to grade and market poultry products; and study scientific developments and apply. 3le knowledge to home flock pro^ uction. The 4-H’ers keep records on production and on general achievements in other phases of club .work. At the end of the year, these records are judged for special honors. Five sterling silver medals will be presented to winners in each county; a trip to National 4-H Club Congress goes to the state winners; and college scholarships of 8390 each to the 19 national winners.

In addition they will explain: Their method of selecting bulls; performance tests on beef cattle lines; and performance tests on bulls and cows within the three major beef breeds, namely Shorthorn, Angus, and Hereford. These tests, are not an . attempt to prove which is the* best breed as results of any tests will be equally applicable to either of.„ these breeds. Following the expla-— nation of the programs being conducted at the Research Center an inspection tour of the entire operation will be made.

Arlington and Lee Conte. Other ex-, periments arousing much concern included: rates of seeding orchard grass and Ladino, comparison between Orchard grass and Ladino, and Kentucky 31 fescue when seeded with Ladino, the importance of using the better orchard grass and Red Clover varieties (orchard grass No. 22883 looked especially promising while Kenland and Northern Neck Red Clover have proven superior). * * ♦ .

Gink McGaheysville. / , Liberty Bell Exhibition And Parade Held Monday The parade and the Liberty Bell repilca exhibition program, sponsored by the American Legion, at Washington Monday evening, was well attended by the citizens of the county. The parade, forming at the residence of L. V. Merrill, proceeded down Main street, turning at the C. T. Bruce residence and concluded at the Courthouse. “Miss Liberty,” Mary Norman Davis, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George H. Davis, Jr.1, and John Turner, son of Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Turner, were leaders of the parade. They were followed in line by the American Legion Post 245 color guard, Edward W. Gore, C. H. Cloud, W. H. Lyne and M. W. Bivsn, who preceeded the Liberty Bell. Following were members of the Washington, Sperryville and Flint Hill Boy Scout Troops, accompanied by Scoutmasters Rev. A. Paul Thompson of Sperryville and Paul L. Miller of Flint Hill. Following next in line was the Washington Fire Department truck driven by Charlie Jenkins, accompanied by members of the Woman’s Auxiliary. The fire truck of the Sperryville Volunteer Fire Department, with H. H. Aylor as driver, concluded the parade, which disbanded in front of hte courthouse, where the program was held. atucg n . cicbuuci of Sperryville extended a greeting of welcome to all those attending the Liberty Bell program, stating that this was a very appropriate time for such a patriotic celebration, since it was being held on the eve of the town election. Mr. Fletcher related important events in the history of the Liberty Bell, and talked about its importance to the American people. He expressed his appreciation to those who attended the program and those participating in it, and stated that he felt confident that Rappahannock would do its part in the savings bond drive, now being. launched, as it . had done in the past ones -held— in the county. The National Anthem was sung by a quartet composed of Mrs. Hlen Kilby, Mrs. Lucy Clater, Jack Brown, and L. J. Turner. Dr. W. G. Pendleton delivered an address on “The Meaning of Independence Todfcy,?’ speaking about the meaning of liberty and security. Real liberty he pointed out is only experienced by those who live entirely alone and do not owe their fellowmen a debt of fellowship. Children think of liberty as being unrestrained in their actions, but this has been proven to be unsatisfactory by the many accidents in which they are involved. When a player goes out to participate in the playing of a game he has to observe the rules of the game in order to be a success in the game. He talked about the two parts of a man, the lower self which leads to slavery and the upper self which can lead the way to liberty. True liberty he pointed out can only be brought about by laws which are properly enforced, but the American people are losing their liberties by having too many laws which are not properly enforced. Dr. Pendleton concluded his speech with words “And Ye Shall Know the Truth, and the Truth Shall Make You Free.” jura. u. j. fwuoy lead tne assemblage in ringing “America," followed by the preamble of the Declaration of Independence recited hy John Turner, dressed as Uncle Sam. The Pledge of Allegiance by the entire assemblage was led by the Boy Scouts of the county. The program was concluded with the ringing of the Liberty Bell by Mary Norman sDarii, dressed in patriotic colors, representing Miss Liberty. An invitation to inspect the Lib. •rty Bell after the conclusion of the program was extended to the assemblage. *, SPECIAL SERVICES AT AMI3SVILLE METHODIST Special Services at Amissville Methodist church, Sunday, June 18, at 11 a.m. Rev.

Flint Hill 4-H club met with Mrs. Frank Cary, June 5. Nine 4-H members were present, along with tne two 4-H leaders, Mrs. Frank Cary and Mrs, Baxjbara Gentry. The girls were shown how to make cheese souffle, plan a, dlfifier Tor i week and set a table, by Mrs. Gentry. This was all done in the morning. In the afternoon the girls divided into groups, according to the projects they were taking. Mrs. Cary helped the ones taking clotning to fill out their clothing manuals. Mrs. Gentry helped the girls taking foods to fill out the foods manual, and the Home Agent talked to the Room Improvement project girls, about what they wished to do to their loom this summer to improve it. The leaders are doing an excellent job in this club wita their members. They plan to meet three times more with the club during the summer without the agent’s presence. Washington Jr. and Sri 4-tH club had a large turn-out. 18 members were present at the meeting, June 7. This was just an afternoon meeting but a great deal was gotten across to the members. Mrs. Ada Mae Anderson, 4-H leader, helped two clothing project girls cut out two dresss. The agent talked to the girls on filling out their foods and clothing manuals. A demonstration was given on how to make macaroni and cheese and how to make a tossed salad, by the agent. The girls actually measured out the ingredients for the salad and cheese dish. By the next meeting the girls are to set the table every day, plan a meal every day for a week, make a milk dish at least six times and a salad at least ten times.. Mrs. Lucio Kilby held the Sperryville 4-H club at her home, June 8. She is doing an excellent job with the club and will meet with them every week for the next four weeks until they complete their project. At this meeting Mrs. Kilby showed the girls how to make four or five different kinds of salads. She, also, had the girls plan meals and explained what to include in a meal to make a nutritious one. The girls gained so very much from this meeting. An all day meeting of the Forest Grove 4-H club was held* at the home of Mrs. Clarence Scott. All the girls in this club are taking clothing. The two leaders and the agent helped the girls eut out their skirts and blouses. Mrs. Scott and Mrs. Doris Coughlin, the two leaders for this club, are planning to hold three more similar meetings for the club this summer. At these meetings the girls will have a chance to complete their garments. H.D. date Meet ! Three home demonstration elubs met last week, Huntly club met June 6 at the home of Mr*.

When (Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown, so history says, the bands played “The World Is Upside Down.’’ That occasion was nothing. Tuesday’s town election in the First Washington pointed the sign for the ladies to take over in September—a woman mayor and an all-woman council. They take office the first Thursday in September. No one filed or qualified and it was a complete write-in ballot Mrs. Achsah D. Miller polled the largest vote, 70, from 90 ballots, with one thrown out as marked wrong. The future Her Honor, the Mayor, Mrs. George H. Davis, Jr., defeatd Councilman C. T. Bruce with a narrow margin of 51-47. Elected council-ladies are Mrs. C. J. Miller, Miss Ruby Jenkins, Mrs. M. M. Hawkins, Mrs. J. W. Price, Mrs. J. W. Critzer, and Miss Elizabeth Racer. Votes received by the councilladies were: • .Mrs Achsah Dudley Miller_70 Mrs. Louise Miller Price .—67 Mrs. Robbie Critser_65 Miss Ruby Jenkins_54 Miss Elizabet' Racer_51 Mrs. Dorothy Hawkins_48 Defeated councilmen were: U.

Moffett, Jr., had announced last week that he was not a candidate for re-election. - Upton G. Weakley, with tae^wp vote on the mens slats, ran only one vote short of the petticoat brigade. There have been threats to impose an amusement tar on’ Trial Justice B. M. Miller, the ladies' campaign manager, for the air he has breathed for the past ten days. The Judge has had much help from both ladies and gentlemen in the campaign which swept the; women into every town office, but he couldn’t call it work. He enjoyed every minute of it. C. Oden had announced publicly that he was “100 per cent for the ladies.” Luther Jenkins is quoted with the reply: “I like the ladies as well as any man does, but I’m not voting for ’em”—a statement causing no worry when it was discovered Mr. Jenkins did not vote in Washington. Jack Miller (he’s the man Mrs. Miller allows to wash dishes at her home) made this bitter statement Wednesday: “I’ve been trying for 25 years to get her to let me run for town couhcil. Now, here she gets herself elected without even asking me.” A telephone call Tuesday night, shortly after the results iwere announced, found George Davis washing dishes. It is reported that other ladies soon caught on and, with interpretation of the election results as an emancipation proclamation, the Commonwealtn Attorney iwap located at home, baby-sitting. An answer to “Why the change? Why the decision toward an allwoman government?* brings varied replies, none definite. Dr. Snead’s story in reply is typical: “Snippy Miller sat on the benches in front of the Courthouse so much that he collected a splinter. As the splinter festered, so festered the idea of a woman mayor and council.” Snippy affirms the (See ELECTION, page 3.) Washington Baslu In Election Limelight Washington'—Virginia—yes, air —er, I mean, "yes, ma’am”—is so puffed up with all this publicity about the' election that one will have to forgive the town if it doesn't gpt back down to earth for a few days. The Evening Star yesterday carried the newly-elected mayor’s picture on the front page along with the list of the women council members. A reporter and a photographer were in town from ' The Evening Star for several hours yesterday photographing and interviewing out famous all- * , woman town government. The Washington Post, too, had reporters in the town, and the \ « national newscasts carried a re- 7* port -of the toOm’s “Revolt of ‘ the Wpaaen.”

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 A Matter of Opinion There's no place like Rappahannock. It flashes upon us heavier at certain times. This is one of them. Swelling with pride, Rappahannock citizens are sitting 'back and glorying in Miss Dollie Hite’s “My Rappahannock Story Book.” It’a a.toss-up as to whether we are proudest of the county and ita history and beauty or of Miss « Dollie for writing it all down. Raymond Johnson says that he claims no one knows of half the the beauty of Rappahannock until he has viewed h from the Fire Tower on Red Oak mountain. He teased a lady of the county for bragging about Rappahannock’s natural glory when she had not seen the most beautiful view afforded in the county. It serves him right in printing his atate'ment, because now we want to hear him defend his belief when other folks in the county begin to point out other spots which are the most scenic — in their opinions. I hope his teasing gets him in hot water. .Brother Kaymond Johnson is in for it. Wait until the people in the F.T. Valley get through telling him about their part of the county. When they finish, the folks above Sperryville toward Pane-* rama will wade into him. Before they get well started, there are some folks living on a ridge near Laurel Mills who will have a thing or two to tell the gentleman. And wait until some of the citizens from the hollows get through with him! Poor Mr. Johnson hasn't a chance. Each fellow in Rappahannock knows be lives in the most beautiful section, and even if Mr. Johnson ran a personally conducted tour for them, there’s no sure sign he could convince them that the view from Red Oak Tower is as good as that of their locality. v - If I Wore Twenty-One! Just as kt Christmas each year you will find a reprint of“Dear Virginia", here is one that will become, no doubt, another Newspaper Classic. It was written for the Des Moines Capital by a former U. S. Senator, who left this message to he read to his grand children on their 21st birthdays. It has been used frequently at commencement time. IF I WERE TWENTY-ONE Every grown man thinks that if he had another chance and his age were twenty-one he would set the world afire in the way of achievement. He thinks he would omit every mistake which he feels he has made and make everything count. It is perfectly right for every man to feel this way but it is perfectly right for him to know that if he were starting over again he would duplicate his former mistakes and make more co'ossal errors. A man who has succeeded reasonably well might succeed better. Those who have failed would undoubtedly fail again. If I were twenty-one 1 would devote more time to sport and when I worked I would work harder than I have ever been able to work. I would not search the world SPERRYYILLE THEATRE Skowa at 7:30 and 0:18 P.M.

I would not aspire to sodden wealth nor would I make my standards all on a financial basis. At the age of twenty-one a man never expects to die. He attends all the funerals as a looker on without deep concern. He feels sorry for the person in the coffin but the thought never enters his head that sometime or other people will be standing around his grave. If I were twenty-one I would start with the firm belief that it is to be an eternal life after death. I would carry this belief with me in all my ambitions and undertakings. I would understand that though a great American has said that opportunity knocks but once that opportunity is knocking all the time in all lives where there is any brain power cooperating with physical strength. ‘ If I'were twenty-one I would form friendships of the right kind intending that I would be useful to my friends and that I would expect them to be useful to -me. Thus I would have a co operative organization f©i our mutual welfare. I should not ask my friends to indorse my note and seldom would I ask any on« of them to lend me money. Fortunes that endure are the fortunes which start with one's own strength and will to achieve. I would not try to make my fortune grow and I would enjoy a considerable part of it as I went along. I would realize that speculations seldom make permanent fortunes. I have often read of young men and young women inheriting fortunes from their kindred. I never heard of such fortunes doing permanent service to those who came into possession of them. I would never sit down to live off a fortune. I would not he ambitious to build a home half as big as a township. I would not do this if I had the money. I would not put this in my plan. A well-known society has frequently been singing during the last few years about aspiring to a cottage by the road to be a friend to man. Poets would not say this was good poetry but I believe the doctrines are good. I would learn as early as 1 could that whatever came to me must come in joy and sorrow as a part of my life. I would learn that joys cannot be compelled to appear and sorrows cannot forever be avoided. I would try to have the common sense to enjoy my joys and the fortitude to endure my sorrows. —I would not be moving every_ month of the year. I would not be in a hurry to leave the place where I was born. It is the thought of the young American that he must break away and go into new fields. Many have adopted this plan. I would not object to staying at home. I would not object to my habitation having a name. I would think it were a delight to remember the old trees and the grass. I would fight the good fight. I would aspire to having a wife and children, thus L would have a home. If 1 were able to do so I would want to travel to see the interesting parts of the world. I would never repudiate a debt. 1 would never lie to anybody. I’d know something about the sky. I would know all that science could tell about the beginning of everything. I would do everything to maintain health. I would read good books. I would rejoice if my children could make music on instruments or with their voices. I would realize from the oppor-' tunities afforded by America and the lives of our great Americans that there was no place on earth Theatre Show Start* at 7:18 P. M.

There should be large numbers of privileges with old age to compensate for the sorrows of those first, days when the information arrived sternly: put on your shoes, you are too old now to go barefooted. « • • Ain’t it a shame? Miss Dollie will have to send all the copies of “My Rappahannock Story Book” back to the Dietz Press and have another piece of county history inserted. The First Washington elected its first all-woman governing body Tuesday, June 13, 1960. On that date the town was exactly 200 years, 10 months, and 9 days old. Maybe George Washington shouldn't 'uv done it. If he hadn’t laid off the town, this catastrophe might have been prevented. But, as Snippy Miller had said, prior to the election, “The women have always run the town anyway, they might as well do it legally.” Cheese Oden announced long and loud from the front door of Lea’s Store Monday morning that he was “100 percent for the' ladies,” and you may quiz him as -to how he finished the statement.— It cant be printed here. He must ljave had plenty of others who agreed with him from the count of the votes. * * * “There must be an editorial on Washington^! all-woman council and mayor,” stated a visitor in the News office Tuesday night. In my past I have made sad mistakes; in my future, no doubt, I shall make more, unwillingly, but this is not one of them. In a town that will have a woman for mayor, a town council of women, ia woman editor of the paper, a woman cashier at the bank, and 22 widows—here’s one place where the less said the better. « * .* Letters from readers will he welcome. No rash promises are made that they will all he printed; we got caught in that once, but we will print all we think we can get by with. ' * * * “Paradoxically speaking, newspapers take the blue ribbon.” Where is there another business which must try to please one. like our own land. I would attend’ all patriotic celebrations. I would not object to belonging to social clubs, but I would remember that my home was the place for my hopes and fears.

There have to be readers—ee the printinn try to find font what the readers want to read. But tine subscriptions won’t pay for the printing*-of ■ the paper, so there 'must be advertisers. Continuing the paradox, advertisers won't patronize papers if they are nothing but advertising, neither will the readers. Yet, if the paper doesn’t have advertising, business men won’t place more advertising in it. Advertisers are the means whereby a county can have a paper of its own. The business men want your business, and by supporting your paper with their advertising, they expect your business in return. Every now and then—on a rare and radiant occasion—the newspaper has a trial and tribulation or two. (This statement is necessary since it is known that no other working man has any trouble.) Some advertiser will want to dictate what must be printed in the paper; or some reader will decide that it’s time he laid down the law as to what should be printed. ^ , The result is: the printers stumble along, doing the best they can, "with malice toward none,”'and. hope that the average will even up the score. Bill Lyne’s “Rapp Chats” is written by him. The News mereily follows his copy and prints it, try* in? to remove printer’s errors, but attempting no editing nor revising. Mrs. Maxie D. Finch&m Mrs. Maxie Dodson Fincham, 67, died at her home in Woodville Thursday night, June 8. Funeral services were held at the Woodville Baptist church Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock with Rev. S.

Like it or not every Rappahannock land owner will sooner or later be fore* ed to start waging war oh the Japanese beetle. In such a combat the most effective weapon has proven to milky disease spore dust, on pasturs or lawn once treated with material can be forgotten, as it rend era permanent protection to such sods. Spore dust is easily applied and is available through your Treasurer’s office at a very cheap rate. One Rappahannock farmer realizing the importance of protecting the good pastures developed through liming fertilization, and other worth while practices, has recently purchased 130 lbs. and had it applied in pasture fields adjacent to existing primary food plants of the adult beetles near which the female lays her eggs in short growth as pastures and lawns wherein the beetle grubs live for a period of about 8 months duration by feeding on the grass roots. . Mr. Sam Compton from Amissville was in the office recently and reported excellent results from his Ladino Orchard grass seeding made this spring. 46 4ft 4ft Richard Griffith, son of Mr. and Mrs; Will Griffith near Rock Mills was winner of the 1949*50 4-H Farm Flock contest. G. B. Allison, County Agent of Page, scored all the flock projects on such management practices as: Identifies-* tion tags, use of purebred ram, external and internal parasite eradication, lambs docked and altered, flock shorn by owner and fleece preparation, quarters, rations, record book, type-size-quality, and condition of ewe flock and lambs at shearing time. Richard scored a total of 87 points out of a possible 100 on the above practices and barely nosed out Kelly Updike, son of Mr. and Mrs. John B. Updike for first place by providing winter pasture. Richard fed a ration to his ewe3 consisting of a mixture of: corn, oats, bran and bean meal. While all of his current lamb crop had not been marketed at the time Mr. Allison scored his project, it appeared his flock would certainly yield a profitable return. In 1949 Richard’s six ewes netted him an average of $16.17 each after deducting feed cost, depreciation not to mention the misfortune of losing twin lambs born prematurely as a result of dogs. ‘ A 4-H member of Page county recently scored by your county •gent in return of the favor done -by. .Mil, Allison in scoring the Rappahannock flocks, had purchased" Western ewes out of the carload which included many of the ewes which came to Rappahannock at $22.50 each. It appeared this boy would gross about $135.00 on his first lamb crop and in addition $19.00 for his 38 ibs. of wool which averaged 7.6 lbs per ewe. This boy used a Southdown ram and all lambs certainly would grade blue circle or top grade. * * * Cattle, especially those with horns, and more especially Angus, are the best natural protection to sheep against tramp dogs which usually are the sheep killers. Since cattle naake just as good gains whether run with sheep or not and in view of the above a good rule Order of Publication VIRGINIA: IN THE CLERK’S OFFICE OF THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE COUNTY OF RAPPAHANNOCK, ON THE 22nd DAY OF MAY, 1950: DOLLY MAE HUDSON v. EDWARD BROWN HUDSON ' Rising Sun, Maryland.
