VOL. 1—jSTo. 38 r,' ‘ ' WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY, JULY 20, 1950 $2.00 Per Year Sperryville Fire Co. Aux. Realizes $500 From Party About $500 was realized for the, Sperryville Volunteer Fire Department Friday night, July 14, at the bingo, party, held at Sperryville school auditorium. Robert Estes held the lucky number ticket and was given the television set. It cost him $5, ‘however, for he jokingly told his brother, “Mutt” Estes, that he would bet him $5 to a nickel that he wouldn’t win it. When the announcement was made that Bob had received the television set, bis brother reminded him of the bet and made him give the $5 to the fire company. A large crowd, representing every section of the’ county, was on hand to help the newly organized ladies auxiliary to tjie fire company give their first [party. Every lady in Sperryville, and many of their nearby neighbors, worked hard to make the party a success and they have every right to be proud of the job. The evening was one of sociable entertainment. Visitors played bingo for a while and then sat •round the sidelines and enjoyed good company and good conversation. , .4, The crowd was larger than anticipated but extra tables (were brought in add the people took turns playing. Joe Johnson conducted an auction of some of the gifts donated for the bingp table. The prises were such nice ones that the auction was arranged. At the conclusion of the party all of the food on hand was auctioned off—including the cooked hot-dogs—but many of the gifts were kept. The ladies plan to have these gifts on hand , for another party soon. In addition to the large list (published last week) of merchants who donated to the firemen’s party, these names should be added: Merchants Grocery, of Culpeper; Mr. Willie Dulaney and Mr. Weldon Burke, Woodville.

Free Movie Passes For A Dozen Children Collect your dozen children and get down to Pitts Theatre in Culpeper on Tuesday or Wednesday, July 25 - 26, and the manager will hand you passes for yourself and all the family. "The movie is the now famous story of the Gilbreaths, “Cheaper By The Dozen.” How many candidates for free tickets are unknown. One lady was heard to say that she had known many a day when her three children sounded like a dozen with all the noise they made. Surely someone in Rappahannock will show up with the family of twelve and claim the free tickets to th* movies. It seems possible that any family having a dozen children could find material for a book, but when father is an efficiency expert, the instruction and rearing of the dozen surely should furnish rare entainnient. $100 Realized From Auxiliary Supper The amount of $100 was realiz. ed from the supper served by the Woman’s Auxiliary of Trinity Episcopal church Saturday evening.

ANNE jUPIHKE BREAKS AMf J t Myrla Anne Updike was a pa| tient at the Front Royal Community Hospital Monday, after hay| ing 'had the- misfortune to (alt Sunday and break ,her, arm. , 4, Senator Robertson Cites Dangers of Infation (Excerpt from remarks of S«b» ator A. Willis Robertson on the Senate Floor, Friday, July 14, 1950) Prices are now increasing by leaps and bounds. 1 do not think increased prices are justified. I read in a New York newspaper that it was said iwe were buying 1,00Q tons of sugar from the Philippines for delivery in August and September, and paying 6 cents a pound for it. Evtryone knows there is plenty of sugar. Everyone knows that Cuba has a million tons of surplus sugar which, tip t© this point, she has not known what to do with. Either such statements are merely false propaganda to start as run by housewives to get sugar or else, the 1,000 tons of sugar are being purchased in ordcrr to raise the price of the other thousands of tons which are already here, and which are owned in Cuba, to be unloaded at an unconscionable price. I note that the steel companies, with no increase in the cost of steel, were operating at full capacity, with full employment. I saw where the manufacturers had advanced the price of stainless steel, which is in sharp demand, thua taking advantage of this situation to gouge the public. I read that cotton advanced $10 a bale in one day, although the crop reporta show that the coming cotton crop will be more than can be used domestically. Certainly we have a big surplus which the government owns. I read that the price of hogs went up in Chicago $1 a hundred in one day, although but a few; days before, the crop report showed a great increase in the prospective corn crop, and there has been a great increase in the number of hogs moved to market, farmers taking advantage of the war psychology. Mr. President, I am on the Senate committee which must coni aider another OPA if it comes. I am on the committee which must consider allocations of scarce materials, if it comes. I am on the committee which must consider all questions affecting war controls, if the Congress is forced by tha greed and selfishness of producers and distributors, because of war psychology, to impose controls for the protection of the consuming public, and to put our economy in a straight-jacket. Nothing could please the Kremlin more than that. We do not get maximum production under government control— we never have, and we never will. But if prices are pushel up and up and up, Congress may be forced to impose controls, and the men in the Kremlin will smile, because they know that our production will be reduced, that our inflation willbeincreased, and they will then lift the war cloud and say, “Well, let us have some peace; we really were not interested in Korea, anyway; that was the fight of the North Koreans and we did nob have anything to do with it." W© shall then be' plunged into the worst depression we ever saw, and will play right into the hands of the Kremlin. I beg the American people not to be stampeded by the threat of war. I beg the manufacturers of this country not to be selfish. They have had the best dividends, in spite of high taxation, they have ever had. They are looking forward now to full employment. Open Tent Meetings Rev. R. H. Scroggins is conducting a series of open service tent meetings on the George Wood, place, Route 211 between Washington and Sper-ryville, each night in the week with the exception of Monday, at 8 o’clock.

Howard Superintendent of Public Instruction State Department of Education, Richmond 16, Virginia. Dear Mr. Howard: In compliance with your request, I have given serious attention to the situation at the George Washington Carver High School On July 12th, I visited this Bchool and had a conference with the Superintendent and the Principal. In addition, I discussed the school situation with several reputable citizens of both Orange and Culpeper Counties. My conclusion is that these accusations are false. The person or persons sending the communication to the Governor used a fictitious name. I am attaching this written report so that you may have this information for your record. Sincerely yours, A. G. Richardson, Assistant Supervisor of Elementary aqd Secondary Education. ‘ ■** It M Report on the Situation at the 5£eorge Washington Carver High School in Culpeper, July 14, 1950 The following accusations were brought against school officials of the George Washington Carver Regional High School in Culpeper County. 1 have discussed each accusation with officials of this school and submit their reactions below: r 1. That only .persona from'far away places and who are good rental prospects are eligible for employment as teachers at this plant. False—The school this year employed 7 local people. 2. That no eligible Negro applicants from any of the four counties who apply for teaching jobs will be approved. False. 8. That all local teachers who were employed at the plant with two exceptions have been let out. False—Two local assorted teachers left this year because of pregnancy. 4. That these two remaining teachers are slated to go at the' end of the 1958-51 school year. False, 5. That the chairman of the reI think the nicest job in the world would he executive director ef * —fra> admiration society ef which there are hundreds. gional school board who incidentally is also supervisor of public instruction at Culpeper, Va., and a firm located in Culpeper, Ye., have erected sweat boxes adjacent and adjoining the regional high school and. who is• now erecting more of these sweat boxes is putting the squeeze on the principal to eliminate every teacher who is not a good rental prospect in order to still continue fleece the taxpayers for personal gain and thus show outwardly the conspiracy against good government. False—Me squeeze is being get en any teacher te live in the houses that were built by the Superintendent with the cooperation ef a local building turn. I MM Boacei wtrt nm btuim boarding places i* Culpeper fee colored teachers were met available and the teachers applied fee the kemses voluntarily. fi. That teachers have been hired who are not qualified according to State requirements to satisfy the personal likes and dislikes of the wife of the principal. Said persons do not hold the necessary requirements according to State specifications. Thir privilege is given the principal's wife as a co-conspirator against a decent system. Fake. 7. That the property upon which these sweat boxes have been erected was invigled out of the owner under the disguise that the regional school board needed the property to build houses for teachers and when the sale was confirmed it was discovered that the principal and a business firm in Culpeper, Va., the owner stating that had he known the property was not for the school he would not have made the sale. False—The property on which these homses are built was sold and the deed was made out to the Superintendent and firm with the full knowledge on the part of Mr. Nosh Price, former owner, as to the purpose for which the lend was to be used. The principal of the school did net participate in the transaction. 8. That only students from Hampton Institute, and said students must be from other localities, are eligible. This privilege is given the principal as hid share of remuneration in the conspiracy, he having graduated from Hampton Institute. False—Only one teacher who Is a graduate of Hampton Institute is employed nt the present time in this school. 9. That the wife of the principal is disrupting the good government as her share of the conspiracy, she having the privilege to pass upon all applicants before the principal can add his approval. This is confirmed by a statement in the presence of the Negro Supervisor of Home Economics that all she recommended she can handle. Falsa. 10. That the principal is only a rubber stamp official interested only in his job and not the school and the children, and is slated as the agent for these property owners to fill these houses and keep them filled. False—The principal has nothing to do with tho housing whatsoever. Tho houses are not on school property. 11. That teachers who rent have to pay the rent the year round in order to hold their jobs whether they stay there or not. False. 12. That the renters cannot take in renters unless they state to the owners through the principal how much rent they are getting. False. 13. That the turnover of local teachers in the last two years has been alarming.

The Orange editor refused to publish the accusations. However, they were published in the Rappahannock News dated June 22, I960, under the > heading, “Letters to the Editor.” The same name, D. J. Johnson, was signed to the communication which appeared in the paper. The local school and civil authorities in the four counties are trying to locate the writer of these accusations, but to date no such person as D. J. Johnson has been located. Recommendations: As a result of the findings in this matter, I wish to make the following recommendations: 1. That no further attention be given to the accusations until the party or parties making the accusations are identified. 2. That in event that these parties are identified, the State and local officials request them to sign affidavits to the effect that these accusations are-true. 3. That if they sign such affidavits, they be required to prove in court the accusations to be true. 4. That if the party or parties refuse to sign such affidavits, the whole matter be dropped.

The hour awaited since the end of those glorious free two weeks last summer is here at last. A car load of the vacationists stopped on the corner at Wash* ington early Monday morning. It was nice of them to furnish entertainment for us local yokels. We don’t often get an opportu-4 nity to see sights like that—in fact, the likes of this had never appeared here before.

You don’t have to believe the sight was as awful as here described ; I saw it and I don’t be* lieve it, myself. The other lady .wore slacks. It was obvious that she eould have inspired the writ* in? of "Ladies in slacks should look a their backs." (Dorothy Parker, I think.) Not that their appearance should matter in the least, Is the reasoning of the moment. They were from a state some distance away, and they will never know of this piece of print Next year . they will probably vacation in a different direction. It brings to mind the story told on a Rappahannock man who yrent to New York on his honeymoon. "Enjoyed it fine," was his comment "Nobody knew me, didn’t have to shave or dress up the whole time I was there.” * * * The beetles are surely here. They hang in clusters on shrubs and trees; they leave the grapevines with leaves of veins, and they swarm along the road and pepper the car as you drive into them. There is still one consolation: you don’t have to stand them. Give 'em a drink. It’s hot weather, be thoughtful of the little green bugs; a mixture of DDT is "good for what ails ’em." . « * *. .

Dried Egg Inventory - Equal To Three Yean Virginia Production f ! ^ Jrae amount of dried egg* in f price support inventory in the nation is equal 16 nearly three | tiroes the total annual egg pro* duction in Virginia. 11 j D. U. Livermore, poultry marketing specialist at V. P. I., says the March 81 report from U. 8. D.A. shows an inventory of 84,000,000 pounds of dried eggs, valued at 8104,000,000. Converted ' to shell egg equivalent, this amounts to an accumulation of about five percent of a year’s pro. duction in the United States or the removal of about 3,000,000,000 eggs from ordinary marketing channels. >cuuung r. m. a. reports, jLiversnore says egg prices will be supported through July and August att levels that will reflect at least at 26c per dozen to producers. 26 cents per dozen to producers. This is a continuation of the program in effect since January un-. der which dried eggs are bought from processors who certify that the minium price has been paid to producers for shell eggs. Through May 24 government contracts for dried egg purchases in 19 6 0 for price support purposes totalad 42,000,000 pounds. A A P.M.A. report for 1960 through April 30 indicates that 1,714,000 pounds of dried eggs have been made available, free at point of storage, school lunches, public welfare institutitions, private welfare groups, Indian wel*mre> and for other similar purposes including flood relief. In addition, nearly 4,000,000 pounds of dried eggs iwere donated to private organizations for foreign relief. The principal recipient countries include Austria, China, Prance, Germany, Greece, India, Israel, Italy, and Japan. FARM WOODLANDS By Caleb Pannock, Jr., Foraatar When our ancesters first settled in Virginia, the extent of the original forests .was ao vast that until recently no one thought they could possibly be' exhausted. At first the forests were a nuisance te be removed, and later, a source of income to be taken advantage of. The result of this impact on our wood reserves has been tragic. So tragic that with a growing population , a constantly improving standard of living and an ever increasing demand for forest products, the proper management of our present woodlands is a must. The farmer has a great respon siDimy since ne is one custodian of a considerable portion of our timber supply. Thus, with this responsibility, how can the farmer do anything else but take a vital interest in where trees grow, how they are protected and the future supply upon which his children will >be even more dependent?

Some 123 projects during^^ie year were designed to qSmtrol erosion or to provide mor| adequate roadside drainage, the department reported. The program was handled by the department’s landscape division, but highway officials said its primary purpose was to reduce maintenance costs and to lengthen the life of Virginia's highways. Roadside beautification was an “important by-product,” they added. When erosion conditions exists, debris is washed into roadside ditches, clogging them and causing water to back up. Frequently the water cuts under the roadway surface and brings about costly damage, engineers explained. Inadequate drainage results in the same condition, they added. The road agency also reported these landscape activities during the fiscal year: Special studies of controlling tweeds and brush through chemical application were underway on 81 roadside acies. Engineers said results were "fairly satisfactory.” Five new highway wayside picnic areas were developed and modern toilet and drinking water facilities were installed in two others; Officials, noted a "constant - increase” in the use of waysides, picnic tables and parking turnouts at historical markers. At the beginning of the year, the department took over the maintenance and installation of state historical markers, which are prepared and provided by the Department of Conservation and Development. Nearly 500 were made to develop mechanical equipment for roadside operations, Such equipment rwill materially re-r duce operating costs, the department said. Improvements were made in a mulch-fertilizer-seed spray outfit and an ensilage cutter was converted into a machine for blowing straw or hay mulch on roadside slopes. Under development is a pump for spraying light asphalt emulsion over mulch to* hold it in place until anchored by the turf. FOOD FREEZING No. 10 Roy E. Moitr, Jr., Ext. Ser. VPI Frozen berries have become very popular lately. Blackberries, raspberries, dewberries and others can be frozen easily and make a good product. Then these berries can be used the year around for desserts. As with other fruit*, the berries must be picked ripe, but not overripe. They should be at the peak of perfection. Once picked, they should be frozen rapidly to protect and preserve all of their goodness. The berries must be picked carefully and handled gently throughout preparation to prevent bruising. Wash the berries in- cold water and drain thoroughly^ Sort out any moldy, rotten or green berries. There are several ways to pack berries. For dessert use, a sirup pack is best. If you want the berries for pies later, a sugar pack is recommended. Determine which type pack you prefer, based on the way you will use the fruit. For a dry pack mix one (1) cupful of sugar with each six (6) cupfuls of berries, and package. For the sirup pack, place the berries in the package, and cover with a sirup made by adding four (4) cupfuls of sugar and four (4) cupfuls of water. Be sure to leave room in the package for the product to expand when frozen. , Heavily waxed cartons, waxed cartons with vapor-proof liners, Deer Repellent Available Fruit growers who are troubled with deer damage in their orchards will be interested in this tip from Fred Dreiling, tree fruits specialist at V.P.I.

S. Department of Agriculture. About 99 percent of the calcium in the body is used for framework. Small but important, the other one percent remains in body fluids, such as blood. Without this calcium, muscles can’t contract and relax, and nerves can’t carry their messages. The outstanding food for calcium is milk. The body can hardly get enough calcium without using a good deal of milk in some form, Next-best foods for calcium are some leafy green vegetables, notably turnip tops, mustard greens and kale.

Upswing In Hog Prices Noted In Recent Weeks A rapid advance in' price* of market bog* ha* been recorded in the past few weeks, and in early July the Chicago market reached the highest peak since November 30, 1048. George Herring, animal husbandman for the Extension Ser, wice at V.P.I., said the rise in prices brought about a much more favorable relationship between the price of feed and the price of hogs. The strong demand for pork products coupled with reduced supplies was responsible for the unusual price rise, he say*. A look ahead shows an expected slight decrease in the fall pig crop. High feed prices in relation to market hog prices in April and May when most sows in Virginia are bred for fall farrow no doubt bad their effect. The Virginia spring pig crop, on the other hand, showed a 2 per cent increase over 1949. Nationally, the 1950 spring pig crop totaled 60,079,000 head, an increase of 8 per cent over 1949. The number of sows farrowing was 6 per eent above last year, but less pigs were saved per litter. Reports on breeding intentions in dicat* a 6 per cent increase in sows farrowing this all overlS49.'

Old raspberry canes which bore fruit this year should be cut off and burned as soon a* possible after harvest. H. "Bruce Aroian, small fruits specialist at V.BLI.; says, these! old canes will not bear fruft'agaih, and, if not removed, will be a means of spreading disease to new growth which will become the fruiting canes next year.

These, he said, were in addition to numerous warnings in cases where violations were of minor nature or where there were mitigating circumstances and literally thousands of cases in which stranded, confused or lost motorists were aided and .accidents were .investigated.

However, he observed that careless or illegal operation of a motor vehicle cannot be excused on the grounds of ignorance, inattention or forgetfulness and that In these cases offenders must expect to be penalized since such action often brings death or injury to absolutely innocent per-'" sons.

Mayor Stirling King welcomed the assembly to Richmond and wished' the Vet-; erans of Foreign Wars a successful encampment. Mrs. Doris Reynolds, Department Patriotic Instructor, presented an American flag to Mayor King on behalf of . the Ladies Auxiliary.

Handy, Jr., Quartermaster General, Mrs., Ethel M. Griffith, National Jr* Vice President of the Ladies Auxiliary, Mrs Alice Chadwick, Fast National President of the Ladies Auxiliary and National Councilwoman, Lillian L. Duffy. On Monday afternoon the delegates visied patients at the McGuire Veterans Hospital and provided them ,with entertainmeijb and refreshments.

As a part of the Americanism * Pragram, the Ladies Auxiliary sponsors an essay contest, and the theme this year was, ‘‘Peace with Honor for America.” The winner, Fay Francisco, a 17-yearold girl, graduate from St. Paul’s School in Portsmouth was awarded an essay medal and a $500 Scholarship, by Miss Aileen Brown Essay Chairman, _ __ The business sessions of the Ladies Auxiliary were full of reports of outstanding work done in every section of Virginia. Over eight thousand hours of service were provided and over nine thousand dollars spent in Veterans Hospitals through the state. One of the most heartrending stories was told by Mrs. Grace Jones, Hospital Chairman. It concerned the fate of three children, Carl, 10, Helerr, 8, and Cailyn, age 6. Their father, Carl Smith was not a VFW member. He was killed in a booby trap Jane 18, 1945, in France, just four months after entering the service. Having beard her husband say that he expected to join the VFW as soon' aa^ eligible, Mrs. Smith, did the next' best thing—joined the Carthage, New York, VFW Auxiliary. Three years,ago she came to Newport) News to make her home and raise her children. April of this year she transferred her member to Auxiliary 176 in Newport News. Shortly after this she learned she had; cancer of the spine and had only three months to live. She had no close relatives who could take the children, so she appealed to the VFW to get them in the National Home at Eaton Rapids, Mich.This home was built and is maintained by the Veterans of Foreign Wars and their Ladies Auxiliary, but no one has ever been known to enter except those whose father was a member -of the, VFW. Nevertheless, the Chairman of the Board of the home and its members were contacted and the case explained to them. On May 18, Comrade ' Marvin Hargraves, Commander of Wilkins-Edwards Post 176, Newport News and two members of the Auxiliary left for the National Home' with the three Smith children. Thirty minutes after the children left for the home, Mrs. Smith was taken to the hospital with only a fe^ days to live, but happy in the know-' ledge that her faith • in the VFW was not broken. Mrs. Smith died) on Memorial Day as taps were sounded during the Memorial Day Service. Mrs. Smith’s courage and faith in the VFW should certainly be a lesson to us who are so easily discouraged. The Banner Auxiliary Chairman announced that twenty auxiliaries had won their banners. Mrs. Bruce Rothgeb received the banner awarded to Comer Jones Auxiliary No. 621. ■, , j ^ ’ The closing day of the encamp* ment was the election and installation of officers.

It is extremely important to plow land eirly in order to allow sufficient time for the land to settle and to develop a' fine firm seed bed. On seed beds prepared during short periods by intensive working of the land, much moisture is lost. Whereas land prepared over a period of several weeks has a greater, chance of holding and accumulating more moisture. Experience has taught farmers in Northern Virginia that alfalfa Should be -seeded as soon after July 25, as possible, provided the seed bed is properly prepared and sufficient subsoil moisture exists. Late seedings sometimes do not survive the winter largely because they have not had sufficient time tfi establish an extensive root system. several factors are responsible for poor alfalfa stands, most of which can be eliminated. Most common among these is a loose, cloddy seed bed which does not hold moisture well and allows the seed to be covered too deeply. Lack of proper fertility level and sufficient application of commercial fertilizer results in short lived stands. jl - Sheet and gully erosion account for many poor and weedy stands. ■Gully erosion also leaves the field scarred and hard to work over. Sheet erosion removes the seed, •fertilizer and soil from scattered areas over the field. C. R. Tinsley, prominent farmer near - Griffinsburg, states that al-, falfa should be established in contour strips on sloping fields. “The erosion hazard is then eliminated,” says Mr. Tihsley. Soil ConservaService technicians working in co-operation with the Culpeper Soil Conservation District assisted Mr. Tinsley in establishing his contour lines. * , DEARBORN-WOOD BROS FARM EQUIPMENT YOU'LL LIKE THESE FEATURES • Flexible Gathering Points • Tlift* Gathering Oiaiiu..

Low Poultry Price* Expected Through 1950 Little relief from the current low poultry prices is forseen for the remainder of 1950,-says D. U. Livermore, poultry marketing specialist at VPI. Storage stocks of shell eggs are double those of a year ago, and frozen egg stocks are 45 percent greater. The large storage foldings, Livermore says, will compete with fresh egg supplies the last half 'of 1950, and probably will offset in part any decrease insuppiy- . Meanwhile, a sharp decrease in hatchings in June is reported, and ■ is believed to be a reflection of the unfavorable egg-feed and chicken-feed ratios that have prevailed this year. Livermore says a 10 percent reduction in chickens raised this spring probably twill not result in a corresponding 10 percent reduction in the number of laying hena on farms in 1951. This is because the number of hens carried over is seldom reduced as much as the number of chickens raised. Present hen numbers are too large, and egg supplies exceed demand, as evidenced by the 56,000,000 pounds of dried egga which had been purchased through May under the government price support program. This is 12,000,000 more pounds than were bought daring the corresponding period last’ year. Egg purchases are expected 40 continue at levels sharply in excess of a year ago.

Scott, vegetable gardening specialist at VPI. Work the parts of the garden available' now. Don’t prepare the soil too deeply, though, as it will interfere with the movement of moisture to the surface. Plant the seeci a little deeper than the correct depth for spring seeding. Fertilizer usually is needed for most crops, but ordinarily not as much is needed for the fall garden as for the spring garden. The amount of fertilizer needed depends on the crop, the soil, and the amount of plant food still available. Fertilizer needs can be determined fairly accurately by soil testsl There are many vegetables that can still be planted—Such as snap beans, broccoli, cabbage, kale, FRONT ROYAL LIVESTOCK MARKET July 13, 1950 Dairy Co-w», good_$225-$310 —Medium , . ,L, Tir 17Q- 200 Plain ..140- 160 Common 1__ down to 101 StOck cows_ 140- 225 Stock Steers_;_HO- 154 par Cwt.
