She 'graduated from Luray high school and entered tne teaching profession. Her teacher training was’ received at University of Virginia - -summer -sessions, the last one la*194fc Miss Atkins joined the Reynolds Memorial Baptist church (then the Sperryville Baptist church) September 10,. 1918. She rendered valuable service to her church, especially as organist and pianist. She was a member of the Adult mole class. Miss Margaret taught public school for 9 years in the Rappahannock system and 22 years in ihe Page system, with 20 years in the Luray elementary school. She was teaching the seventh .grade at the time her health became impaired. “A teacher is born, not made.” Again and again a life illustrates the truth of this statement. To those who knew Miss Margaret best, it is a general feeling that she was the ideal teacher. A person of high ideals, rich experience, courageous, loyal to her profession, and faithful to her charge of the classroom, she held a wellbalanced sense between the practical and the’theoretical. Her sue. cess has proven her to have been a faithful teacher.

He suggested the title above and told me I had no alternative. I could not talk about •Homo, the sap, and his Seven Smart Sons, or the Curious Case df Homo the Sap. I must talk about The Curious Case of Homo The Sap and His Seven S^art Sons. I am going to tell the story just as Dr. Peddiwell told it to me. , You need not draw any morals from it as there are no morals to draw. If you do draw any, they are not mine but yours and you must take the consequences. I must admit that it seemed to me that-sDr. Peddiwell lied a little to tell the whole story and make his point, but that is his nature and you will have to submit to that. Please remember now that I am only telling you what Dr. Peddi^weU_4pld me and you.will hav«t. also to remember that when I use the personal pronoun, I, in narrating the story, I mean Dr. Peddiwell. A good many years ago, Homo the Sap came in to this Valley. He had always lived by killing pack* rgts and seemed to be very lazy. But after a while he came to do more or less what other people in the Valley did, to try to raise some corn and beans. However, Homo the Sap was very lazy and he just scratched the ground a little and put in the corn and beans and if it came up, all right, and if it did* not all right. Homo didn’t know how old he was and he did not care. He was very onery. He was ignorant and mean. In fact he was about the meanest man I ever saw. I say he was mean because whenever he got into an argument and he couldn't win by arguing, he would get a club and his opponent had to watch out. Homo was so ignorant and mean *nd just plain no-account that I couldn’t bear him. I didn’t see any good in him for the longest time. But one day I saw a great commotion in the Valley that was to show that Homo, the Sap, had some go6d > in him. I went down Close, enough to see what was happening and it appeared that Homo •had lost some member of his family, perhaps an uncle, and they were burying bin*. And this was what the Sap was doing. He was putting in the grave some of the things that the dead uncle had used. Homo must have a little sense for he knew enough for this, and better still, he must think something of his group. I thought there was something in the Sap if he had some group loyalty, and thought something of his kin and tribe. So I decided to watch the Sap more closely after this and see if he did anything else that seemed to be of some little value. This time he seemed to show that he had an idea even if it was wrong, and I think it is much better to haVe ideas even if they are wrong ones. It wasn’t long after this when I saw the Sap come down into the Valley with his oldest son, a boy of about ten years of age. Remember all this time that Sap had mainly been a pack-rat hunter. He was a good pack-rat hunter, and it was now time to teach the oldest son how to be a good packrat hunter such as he was. So I saw him take a stick and aim it at a rock and hit the rock and then give his boy a stick and the boy would try to do the same. And the son would try and try and try and after a while he was able to hit the rock. Then they went after pack-rats, and the boy could kill a pack-rat, and later on when the boy was about 18 he got to be as good a pack-rat hunter as the Old Sap himself, and maybe a little better. I thought the Sap was quite ah educator when I saw all this. He seened to realise the value of a very practical education. I wondered if he had any more sons and whether he would teach them the same way. The very next spring I saw the Sap' come over the ridge into the Valley with hi* second son. This thhe the Sap didn't teach the bo^ to throw sticks at rocks and then at pack-rats, but be *at down and hummed sort of a song or tune. Then he started to throw sand over first his right, and then his left shoulder. And the second eon would repeat this magical tune and throw the sand over his right and then his left shoulder, and that was all there was to it. After a lot of practice in this sort of thing they both got up and went away and the second son had had his preparation for pock-rat hunting,' though 4t. whs a vary V* <So*«U DELTA Fegm4> ** James W.

Rappahannock' News Published Thursday Moraine 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 Out of Hie Mouths Of Babes By Aaae K. Meaefee Little Joe Aylor has been recognized as a Sperryville songbird for the greater portion of his yean—all of two! Recently he interrupted a particularly lusty rendition of Jesus Lovss Me to announce to his mother: “Jesus in my gill friend . . Jesus lores me.” Such childish, albeit unholy, logic leaves the majority of mothers somewhat shaken if not totally inadequate; but Joe’s mother Tali* antly sought-to set her wee charge straight: “No, Joe, Jesus eant be your girl friend; He is not a girl. He is the Son of Cod.” “Who is He?” was the inevitable demand of the unimpressed songbird. “Why, God is our Father who lives up in Heaven,” came the traditionally feeble explanation with, its accompanying embellishment of the glories of the Unknown. “How did He get up there?” joe was eager to learn; but Mommy thought she had to see about fixing a hamburger for a custo•sner. .. • . Undaunted at being unanswcr. ed, Joe persisted with an easy one j for Mommy whose glowing description of Heaven had fired her eon’s imagination: “Well, how can I get up there? I’d like to aee Heaven.’ Mommy patiently explained that when Joe became an old man end died, God iwould send an angel to get him and take him to Heaven. As she smilingly faced her son after this definite termination of a conversation that was getting out of hand, she was met with one final cherubic request: “Tell Him to send two blue angels for me." _ _ This brings to mind the logic of another member of the County’s Small Fry set. This particular young hopeful was obviously impressed by his Sunday School teachings. From the beginning his interest in singing had been matched by his reluctance in parting with his nickels which, heretofore, had represented bubble! gum or popsicles. His teacher had been painstaking in her explanations that he was "giving to God” and had taught him a song stressing this. Afterwards his mother noticed his heightened interest in the Sunday School treasurer as he came to the Primary department to collect the money. One morning Small Fry and mother arived at Sunday School simultaneously with the treasurer. The young cherub breathlessly piped, “Mommy, is that God?” “Why, no,’’ his mother smiled at the unGod-lilse appearance of the treasurer as he stumbled over the curbing. “Why do you ask, dear?” “ ’Cause he’s the one I give the money to,” was the unabashed reply. I I |'The Time Hat Come* | | tk« Walrna laid ... j illlUNHIHHH NMIHNHIIIIH Many and varied are the opinions concerning the possibility of the location of a government agency in Rappahannock county. With the census report standing at 6067, then there will be 6067 opinions. Discussion runs pro and con on the advantages and disadvantages. Some think that value of real estate will be helped. Some arei afraid of circumstances involving discrimination problems. Some think that the new people brought in by the«government agency will be a social asset. Others think that if the people could be hand picked to suit the community, it would be all right. Some wonder if too many new people in the countyv would change the county for better, or not. Some argue that it is a conservative county, and most folks like it as it is—or is the expression something like a desire to maintain the status quo rather than “fly to evils we know not of." One opinion was to the effect that the topic furnished pleasant conversation and that there was not one chance in a million that the agency would be located here, anyway, so enjoy the discussion and let the worries alone. • * jU No claim is made in these quarters as to ability to locate quotations, etc., and most certainly too Herculean task ff tracing .down “expressions" is not io he under*' taken here. 2a reply to a request, hewewer, her* k the nearest answer to . th* expression “What’s time to A haw*?” A farmer had hk hawgs near his house. Twice daily he drove them ’way down the hill and through the hollow to water. “Why don’t you put the haw*-pen down near the water?” asked a neighbor. “Look at all the time a-wasted going back and forth, morning and evening.” "What’s time to a haw*?” was the reply. • * * We’re always hearing of “the good old days” when grandpa was a boy, but here lately some fellow debunked the whole business by writing of the disadvantages of those by-gone days. He even went so far as to comment upon the way the ladies tried to keep the inch-or-more of dust swept from the streets with their long skirts; how the cat slept in the crackerbarrel in the store; and a few; other choice items. He failed to' mention the days when stringed, fan-contraptions hung above the family dining table and were waved back and forth continuously to save the flies an inglorious death by being eaten alive. These “by-gone” days are not regretted. But Monday I saw an electric iee cream freezer. Powered by motor it was. You just put some ice cubes around it and plug in the motor. Modern science has cheated the youngsters. Fathers and mothers will have to describe to their underprivileged offspring the joys f putting ice ter an old sack, poutfd^ ihg it up with the axe, applying the ice, putting on the salt, and then turning the cranlc. Vicariously must the young learn of the joys of the occasion of that freeze rof home-made ice cream: chunk, ing the hole in the side of the freezer to un-stick the ice; the mounting excitement as the handle becomes harder and harden to turn; and then, ah, joy! licking the dasher—the reward for the work! No ice cream ever tastes the same as when it’s licked from the dasher. ¥ ¥ ¥ Slightly tangle-footed, a gentleman walked into a laundry of automatic home washers. He sat in front of one of the machines and stared at the round glass opening. Intently he observed the constant churning of the washing clothes. Swish-swash, swish-swash, back and forth. He watched about an hour. Finally one of the attendants approached. You’ve been waiting a long time, could I help you?” “You know what," said the gentleman, “I don't believe thish here television is much of a successh.” ¥ ¥ ¥ The healtiest sign in these United States is marked by a time when problems begin to be jokes. Some years back a famous comedian made the statement that America need never fear a dictator-rule. He said Hitler could never have gained power for he would have been mimicked and ridiculed until he would have been glad to get out of the public eye. A few weeks back some of us were concerned about the dangers of hoarding. Sugar was being bought up by the hundreds of pounds. Take all of your worries and pack ’em in moth balls, for here’s the latest: “Where’s grandpa?” “He’s up in the attic pounding up the lumps of sugar.” Birth Announcement Mr. and Mrs. Winston Siebert of Washington, D.

This trend is of relatively long standing and is apparent in the first four Censuses of Business taken between 1929 and 1939. It is more pronounced in the latest of these censuses, that for 1943," figures for which are just being made public. Thus along with evidence of a similar nature m other sectors of the economy, this trend in retailing provides another indication of the greater than average growth of small and mediumsized business and the broadening of opportunity in general that have accompanied the record expansion of the population and the spectacular economic progress of recent years. Comparative Sale* Gala* Retail sales in the big cities, of course, have shown marked gains over the last decade in common with the great growth of the nation’s retail trade and the economy as a whole in the period. How. ever, on a relative basis the retail sales gains in the leading cities have been outstripped by those in the rest of the nation in the aggregate between 1939 and 1948. Furthermore, the number of retail establishments in the bfg cities, with few exceptions, has declined substantially in the last decade and in'the aggregate is now lower than it was in 1929, according to the latest figures. This is in marked contrast with the rise in the number of retailing outlets in the suburbs and in the small and medium-sized communities, not only since prewar but as compared with 1929 as well. It is this latter trend which is entirely responsible for the fact that there are now about a quarter of a million more retail establishments in the United States than there were in 1929.

The combined sales of ' these stores in 1929 came to f 17.4 billions, or 95 per cent of the total U.S. retail business in that year. In 1948, however, these 82 cities had some 6,000 fewer retail outlets than in 1929 and proportion* ately only 22 per cent of the total number of retail establishments in the nation, while their segregate sales, though up to over |S8 billions for that year, represented only 29 per cent of the total U.S. ^ retail, business, i* .1*48.^,,— For the nation as a whole, the total number of retail stores increased 16 per cent between 1929 and 1948 while the aggregate dollar volume of sales rose by 186 per cent. As against this yardstick, the number of Tetail stores in the 32 big cities proper decreased one per cent in the two decades while their sales rose by 119 per cent. For the rest of the nation, however, the number of stores was 20 per cent higher in 1948 than in 1929 while sales increased 191 per cent in the period. Growth is Suburbs A substantial part of the growth of the retail business outside of the big cities has taken place in the suburbs, reflecting the rapid population growth in these areas, especially after the war. In the decade between 1939 and 1348 for example, the number of stores in the metropolitan areas of the 32 leading cities, exclusive of the cities themselves, gained by nearly 13,000 while the retail sales in these communities were up approximately 226 per cent.

PHI DELTA KAPPA (Cestiaaed fraos Pag* 1) queer one and a sort of magical education, as you can very well see. The amazing thing about it was that his son became a pretty nearly as good as the first son. I was now very curious and wondered greatly what method the Sap would use with the third son, nod I was hoping he would go back to the method he used with the first, the practical kind of method and not the magical kind. Then one day he came into.thq Valley with the third son. He again sat down in the sun on the sand and I was afraid he would use the same method he had used with the second son. He didn't. No, Homo the Sap used another method. He talked to the boy an<^ drew a diagram in the sand. He drew a lot'of patterns and diagrams and then after a time he orew a sort of scientific generalization from these patterns and diagrams and pictures in the sand. The Sap, by this procedure, gave the third son a kind of vicarious experience in pack - rat hunting, quicker than the first two sons. He too in time became a pretty fair packrrat hunter, though not, as good as the firit son. I was vary curious to know what th« old man would do next, whether he would use the praetical method or the magical method or the scientific method. But be-i lieve it or not, Sap didn’t use any of these methods with this boy. No, he was learning different methods himself and so the Sap taught this fourth smart son with a brand new method of pack-rat hunting. You might call this the theoretical method. He used words this time. There were just a lot of words, long words and hard words. This was the most interests ing thing, iwhen one good word was found, two or more words were found for each other word' used in the education of this boy in pack-rat hunting. I was pretty skeptical of this method, as it didnot seem possible that this smart son would be smart enough or be able to hunt pack-rats after all these words. But he did do some hunting and catch some pack- rats, though he didn’t do nearly as well as the first boy or quite as well as some of the others. But he did really become very expert in the philosophy of pack-cat r/intingj Yes, he was the outstanding philosopher of pack-rat hunting in the family of Homo the Sap, after he had learned his lessons well. These methods of education became more and more interesting to me and 1 waited with great interest and impatience for the education by Homo the Sap of the fifth son. TMs time they started with throwing sticks a little like the way the first son was taught but still very differently. I soon saw that they were keeping the old sticks and throwing all the newest ones away, and if one of the sticks was very old they would patch it up and make it better than it was before. Any new sticks were not considered good. The older the stick the better. They kept just hundred sticks. (And here Dr. Peddiwell made a slight reference to some likenesses he saw with the ideas of a young man out at Chicago, and another young man at Annapolis'w%o also think tnai me oiuer sucks ana jusi a hundred of them are much better than new sticks.) And Dr. Peddiwell also got a little poetic and repeated this brief and very toychins poem: “A hundred books well picked by Cultured Nose, A cigarette, a seminar, a pose, How doth the nose know when the Culture’s there? Ah love! It knows it just because IT KNOWS!” So Homo and his smart son not only kept the old sticks, but they had a seminar, or course, on each one of them which you see made them sood as or a good deal better than new. The fifth boy did knock some pack-rats down and’ did quite a bit better than the fourth boy who learned the huntins of packrats only by the philosopy of packrat huntins and with substituting two words where one would do just as well or better, except for purposes of instruction. I could hardly wait to see what. would happen next. But as the Sap was coming over the hill with the sixth son, the Other sons came, running from another direction over the ridge where their enemios lived. They said the crowd over there was getting ready to come over and take their pack-rat huntmg-grounds. The Boys were very excited and each one tried to tell how he thought they could get rid of their enemiee.' The first hoy shewed how they coaid use sticks each asks apod in pack-rat huat’ iog. The socead bcy aaag hia little tune and threw Mod over bio right and then his loft shoulder, and the third hoy drew a lot ot interesting diagrams and patterns in the send. The* fourth boy, listened to all the others and then gave them words. In fleet hp,spent hia efforts trying to find.the proper words in order to beat the enemy. ■ The fifth boy added the idea that > preparation should be made by .repeating the more important seminars with the best of the hundred old and tested sticks. So, the sixth smart son didn't ha\e a real chance at an education. For the •eke of security he had to help fight to keep peck-rat huntinggrounds away from the enemy and to he had only a kind of negative and military education in the art of warfare. It iwas not long after the war was won, that Homo the Sep came •long with the seventh and last son. By this time old Sap who had been such a. mean, ornery, and ignorant old man to start with but who had given his sons so many different kinds of education seemed very puzzled and troubled. So this is where I (that is Dr. Peddiwell) thought it best to come into the picture.

Livestock Diet Elements Studied by Researchers Are livestock on dicta lacking in minor elements more likely to suffer from internal parasites? Dr. W, L. Threlkeld, associate soologist at the Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station, believes it might be so, and is conducting studies to discover the relationship between minor element deficiencies and the likelihood of parasite infestations. He explains that research done in England, New Zealand, and some places in the United States, has shown the need of cobalt in the daily diet of sheep and calves. The importance of some of the finor elements in the diet of animals is not completely understood. Dr. Threlkeld says that since the physical symptoms of animals suffering from a deficiency or an over-supply of some of the minor elements are similar in many ways to the symptoms of parasit isf, it Menu probable that there < Is some relationship. For example, it ia posaible that cobalt deficiency may make animala more ausceptible to paraaitea; and that enough cobalt may help them resist parasites. Field studies indicate, Dr. Threlkeld reports, that lambs with cobalt deficiency seldom recover from an infestation of parasites; while those with enough cobalt in their diet are able, with the aid of medical treatment, to make recovery. He is how studying four groups of lambs. One is parasite-free and one on a cobalt deficiency diet. A second is on the same diet and has parasites. A third is on a normal diet and has parasites. And a fourth is on the same normal diet» and is parasite-free. Other minor elements, such as copper, sulfur, and molybdenum, will be similarly used in the diets of parasitised and parasite-free lembs. tw NEWS classified ads ' WE ARE NOWIN OUR New Location (Next Door to Masonic Temple) BEGINNING TODAY :v AUGUST 10,1950 The “WELCOME MAT** Is Before The Door Visit the new* fjonel Radio.

W. 'Brown to rest in the Lodge Eternal and at 10:30 p.m. he quietly passed to his Heavenly rest. Not only a a tried, trusted and true Mason, but as a man like Christ, he devoted his entire life to the alleviation of the ills and sufferings of those people around him, at all times having the best interest of his patients first and foremost in his heart and mind. He was always ready and willing, regardless of his personal comfort, to go to the relief of someone in trouble. He was spared in this work for 70 years. AND WHEREAS he was initiated June 18, 1889, passed July 12, 1889 and raised September 3, 1889. He served' as Master of Washington Lodge AF and AM No. 78, from 1894 to 1905. He served as Secretary for 40 years and pras rarely absent from his desk in the Southeast, and then only on account of illness in his family or that of someone else. He filled this position until he became so incapacitated that he could not attend Lodge even with helpTruly a great Mason, a man who loved his Lodge and his Brethren, a splendid Physician, a man very temperate in his habits, a devout Baptist, and a true Virginia gentleman has passed. What more could be said of any man? THEREFORE we the committee appointed at the last stated communication express ot the# Lodge and each.-' member- thereof sur deepest regrets at the passing of Brother Brown and to the widow we express our deepest sympathy. both on our part and the part of the entire Lodge. It is the desire of this committee that copy of these resolutions be filed with the minutes of the Lodge, a copy sent to his widow, a copy to the Grand Lodge and copies to the several newspapers. Respectfully submitted, E. G. HACKLEY, S.W. R. H. ROWZIE, J.M. J.'R. BOLDRIDGE, P.M. Milk-Feed Ratio On Downgrade The value of Virginia’s milk, in relation to the amount of dairy feed it would buy, dropped in June; but State dairmen still were in a better position than the average for the United States. Ben P. Morgan, Jr., dairy marketing specialist at V.P.I., said Virginia dairymen could buy only 112 pounds of dairy feed with 100 pounds of milk in June, as compared to 117 pounds of feed in May. This was about 10 pounds below the average for June, and one pound below June a year ago. However, the average United States dairyman could buy only 92 pounds of dairy feed with 100 pounds of milk. Dairymen in South Atlantic states were in a more favorable position. They could buy 118 pounds of feed with 100 pounds of milk; Morgan says dairymen can expect little relief in feed prices during the next year. The price support for the 1950 wheat crop in Virginia—$2.24 a bushel, 4c above last year—will have its effect. And other factors, such as an expected shorter crop and increased insect damage, will support higher feed costs. Prices received for all Virginia milk in June averaged 20c per 100 pounds below May, but 20c per 100 pounds above June a year ago. Morgan explains that' this year’s higher average price is largely due to a 10c per 100 pounds higher manufactured milk price, and a larger percentage of Virginia’s total production in the higher-priced fluid channels. Those two factors have raised the price for all milk even though the fluid milk price is down some from last year.

The road people hare a number of tricks to tell whether the count is true or false. This practice is negligible on primary highways, engineers say. However, on the rural secondary roads the custom of "running up” traffic counts is general throughout the State. The practice may even backfire and result in a lowering of the count. The machines click off time intervals and any abnormal counts during a period are thrown out by traffic engineers. These are some of the check methods: Previous counts for each station and each period are used for comparison. Check stations at other points show what average traffic goes in or out on a road. Primary highway counts measure all directions of traffic and tell whether the local road traffic was merely running up and down a section or went onto the through highway. Counts at particular times -of the day when traffic is at its normal low or high show whether there has been out of the ordinary traffic at other times. Traffic flow usually follows a normal pattern on all roads, with unusual . upward spurtf occuring only for special occasions—or by1 ‘'made" traffic. If the count is above normal for much of the time, a personal check and count are made. Local highway and traffic engineers know exactly what points— residencies, schools, churches, factories, etc,, each section of secon dary road serves. Arid they know from traveling the roads relatively how much traffic each carries. State highway traffic engineers also pointed out that tampering With the counting machines is a misdemeanor. Several cases have been prosecuted where the State property was tampered with or removed. BILLY LA1NG BREAKS ARM Billy Laing had the misfortune to fall out of a tree and strike his head on a rock.

BUY NOW while roads and lanes are suitable for baaling and land is firm enough for spreading. * LIME is still a limited factor in legume growth in thou* sands of farms attempting to grow livestock. Better have your soil tested for' acidity now and spread enough LIME this summer to correct it. A proper soil reaction will enable desirable grass and clover to crowd weeds out of a properly fertilized pasture. For other information CALL Front Royal S4-F-53 or write OWEN D.

Residues Of Spray*' v: W On fruits Studied Ir ' : DDT Applied to peaches in the fourth or fifth cover spray two to, three weeks before harvest, may still be present on the peaches “in alarming amounts” at harvest time. , ■. Dr. L. L. Davis, of the Virginia Experiment Station, says however, that the DDT is removed when the peaches are peeled. On the other hand, BHC applied in the first cover spray, or in later sprays, is not removed when the peaches are peeled, and will likely cause a musty, off-flavor. Applications of BHC in earlier sprays rarely persist until harvest. Standard Materials Best * For Insect Control „ A warning to home gardeners against haphazardly “trying out” some of the newer insecticides has been given by J. O. Rowell, insect control specialist at VPI. Rowell says the home gardener should be “extremely cautious” in selecting insecticides. It usually is wise, he says, to use the standard materials. There is danger of poisonous residues on Vegetables when materials which have not then thoroughly field-tested are used. He says that if home gardeners try some of the newer insecticides, they should follow very closely the directions of the manufacturer. Rotenone preparations are still .standard foe the control, of moat of the common pests of the home garden. Use a ready-prepared dust mixture containing at least 0.75 percent of rotenone; or, if you prefer a spray, mix 3 level tablespoonfuls of 5 percent rotenone powder in one. gallon of water. Rotenone leaves no poisonous residue. Sabadilla dust is recommended: for the control of the harlequin DONAHOE'S FLOWER SHOP MES. C. E.
