VOL. 1—No. 45, WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1950 $2.00 Per Year \ •* Hi Women Council installed In Impressive Ceremony With a dignity indicative of their • determination to do a good job, the ladies of Washington’s municipal government took over the reigns in induction ceremonies Friday afternoon, September 1. About 300 local citizens and visitors were on hand to beam with pride when the ladies presented a picture worthy to accompany the county’s natural beauty. The County is getting prepared to amend its bragging: everyone knows Rappahannock is the “Land of Finest Livestock and Apples,” and after the ceremonies Friday, the folks are beginning to realize that the good-looking ladies are an asset to join the ranks of the county listing. On a stand on the Courthouse Lawn, with the Confederate Monument as a background, the ladies replied firmly when the oath of office was administered by the Hon. William F. Moffett, Jr. 4 J A beautiful prayer of invoeatidh by Dr. W. G. Pendletod opened the ceremony, ami the Rev. M. E. Sliger pronounced the benediction. Just before the program was to begin, a dog-fight took place within fifteen feet of the platform. There were a few accusations, to the effect that it must have been planned, since the ladies had expressed a policy pending to rid the town of all the stray dogs roaming the streets. The visiting newspaper reporters and photographers enjoyed the good ftatured laugh that ran through the crowed when the sounds of the dog-fight rose into the quiet calm of the afternoon. | Photographers .and reporters were presented from Collier’s fnagatine, Life, and The Evening Star and The Washington Post. The Star carried pictures and an ■ . account of the ceremonies on Saturday, and The Post carried a fullpage spread in the Sunday edition. - It is thought that the Life picture^ story will probably appear;: in a couple of weeks and the Collier’s * story and pictures are scheduled for the first of October. ry The Seventh District’s own Burr P. Harrison Was chairman of the program. He was in his usual good S spirits and saw to it that the crowd had as good a time as he always does. He cautioned everyone to notice his bravery in being up on the platform with all those ladies _but he emphasized that he was glad, he was not a weed in Washington, for he knew how determined a group of ladies could be when they set their heads. Congressman Harrison had some male associates on the platform, how ever, for besides the two ministers, and former Mayor W. P. Moffett, Jr., former Mayor W. E. Compton was on hand to give the welcome address. Miss Catherine Falvey and Mrs. “ George H. Davis, Jr. did the honi ors of the day in the speech making. Miss Faivey drew her subject from the woman’s ability to serve in public office and Mrs. ' Davis cited woman’s duty and responsibility to do her part in government service. ‘ Miss Fahey, a native of Massachusetts, has served two terms in the legislature of her state, in addition at service in the armed forces, having been a major in the WAC. >>'r X t ■ ''s' \ * T^p. * ■ '■ IS® Mrs. Davis, stating that if the saying “woman’s place is in the home’’ is true, the woman is obligated to do whatever she can to see that outside influences in her home are proper, for the “home" is not just within the front gate. She clarified any doubts that the new council might have any revolutionary ideas. Their purpose, said Mrs. Davis, is to retain' and, improve all the charm and-individuality that the old. town has, along with its naiurid b^ut^,but,ghtiEn, he ladies of the fire aukiliary served refreshments following the ceremonies. ' , Following a number of private parties „in the community, the day’s entertainment culminated with a square dance in. the school auditorium at Washington. MISSIONARY SOCIETY MEETS ; The Washington Baptist Missionary Society met at the church Tuesday with nine members present. Mrs. C. K. Racer spoke on “Can We Read."

Working on the theory that one must practice what is preached, Mrs. Cook means to take it all seriously.

Lyne County Agent iNWHimmniMiimHNiniiiiimiiiniiiiiiiHiiiiNHiimiii SURVEY REVEALS OVER 400THOUSAND BEETLE GRUBS PER ACRE . 4 §V> Mr. Jacobs, who worked for the past week here in Rappahannock county in connection with the Japanese Beetle Grub Survey being conducted by our state entomologist, Dr. G. T. Francs, reported an average of 422,532 grubs per acre, according to our arithmetic. While the survey reported this time in writing, differs a bit from that printed in Rapp-Chats of last week, which was quoted by Mr. Jacobs from memory, it is still most alarming. Here is the report in detail: C. W. Keyser farm, two diggings (each digging on a square foot area) 11 grubs; I. S. Compton’s, three diggings and 10 grubs; Mt. - Vemor, 5 diggings 15 grubs; J. W. Fletcher, four diggings, 29 grubs; Henry Cannon, four diggings, 29 grubs; H. C. Warwick, five diggings, 42 grubs; Robert E. Miller, four dieeinvs. 83 imihs: W. H. Massie, Jr., ten diggings, 166 grubs; Clarence Cough (Echo Hill), two diggings, 24 grubs. The above report covers work done August 28 - Sept. 1. At present no report is available on survey work done during the previous week, however it will be published upon receipt from thi State entomologist’s office. In addition your county 'agent has requested Dr. French to extend the survey beyond the area already covered to include properties along routes 722, 640, 642, 618, 628, and 522 in the vicinity of Flint Hill and northward, and on route 622 where heaviest infestation of adult Japanese Beetle seemed to v he or was equla to the areas already surveyed. The full force of the results of this survey aren’t full comprehended and even then ’tis .only a guess .*. . until you stop to realise that adult female beetles are yet laying eggs and all those eggs produced this season haven’t hatched. Anyway, it is htoped the public in general will get concerned enough over this menace to start a wholesale war against the beetles. The county agent’s office has complete information on how to combat the beetle, available free for the asking. County Home ^Demonstration ©MEWS By Janet Sollenberger Schedule for the week: .

All Expense* Paid On Induction Ceremonies Letters of appreciation have been sent to the Association for Greater Warrenton and the Culpeper Chamber of Commerce for their kindness in agreeing to underwrite the expenses of Washington’s ceremonies in connection -with the induction of the lady mayor and the all-lady town council. Just because the town did not need the donations the neighboring counties so willingly offered is no sign that they were not appreciated. The town, through donations and receipts from the dance, was able to meet all the expenses. All the bill* are not in, but the pres* «nt .financial statements looks like there wilf be a small surplus. Engagement Announced Mr. and Mrs. Jonas Althur, of Sperryville, announce the engagement of their daughter Evelyn Marie to Bruce H. Brown, son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Brown, of Woodville.

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 Aesop's Fable and Rapp’k High School By Anny Onimous Most of us are laminar wun Aesop’s fable of “The Miller, His Son, and the Ass.” The miller and his son were driving an ass to market to be sold. The first person they encountered said, “Have you no more wit than to both trudge on foot while your ass goes light?” Thereby the boy got on the ass and they proceeded. , “You laxy rascal,” said the next person, “to ride and let your old lather go on foot.” The man lifted off the boy and got up himself. Two women soon passed and one said. “Look at the old fellowr riding while his little son follows.” The miller thereupon put the boy behind him. The next traveler asked the old man whether or not the .ass was . his own. Being told that he was. the traveler ^said, “No one would think so from the way you use it.” So the miller and his son tied the ass’s legs to a pole which they shouldered and staggered along under the weight. On entering the town their appearance caused so much laughter that the miller, mad with vexation at the result of his endeavors to satisfy everyone, threw the ass into the river, took his son by the hand, and started home again. Aesop closed his fable with the moral: Try to please everybody and you will succeed in pleasing nobody. And so it is with any undertaking. Rappahannock County High School is beginning its first session this week. At the outset, we must face the fact that everyone will not be pleased with everything about the venture. Attitudes will vary from charitable tolerance to unrestrained criticism. The “Do-Nothings” will do nothing to cause any trouble; but likewise, they will not lift their voice to question any derogatory remarks that will snowball their way around the community. Such division of opinion is natural enough in any community, and RappahaUnock is not immune from division in interests, sense of values, and methods of procedure. A number of residents wanted a new set-up, start to finish. Some of the residents are opposed to any change at alL Some are in favor of the sort of middle-of-the-road solution that is being tried out. And so it is readily seen that the old-new school at Rappahannock H. S. will need more support than could be supplied by the taxpayer’s money. This school was created for the children of Rappahannock county—and is op-. erated solely for their benefit. Barents are urged to have a healthful attitude toward school. A chance remark by a dissatisfied parent can deeply affect the child. It is better to bring problems directly to the school, and enlist the willing co-operation of the teachers.' 'Naturally the time for this is not when the teacher’s time is taken up with the duties of the day. Private conferences can be arranged and are the only method for dealing with many things that inevitably present themselves. It is to be hoped that everyone will do everything within his power to launch the new school, and that he will give unstintingly of his time and talent to do his part towards preventing anything that would handicap a project so Vital to the interests of the entire county. It is hoped thft the recommendations of the hew school will be met with honest support and that the? elements looking toward a progressive adaptation to the county’s changed and changing conditions will not «gs »r axpend-thair. energies in^a rj>und. of recriminations. The important thing is that the people of Rappahannock*>should have the best possible school in which to train its future citizens. . . the most priceless asset of any community! Be sure you FUSSELLS ICECREAM FUSSEIX-YOUNG ICE <^KEAM COMPANY • a#* ' mmm 'The Time Ha* Come * the Walrnt mU . . . The county newspaper—placing another stone in that famous road paved with good intentions—tried last week to do its bit in helping in the safety campain. “Let’s make it a WRECKLESS weekend” screamed a banner headline across the top of* the paper. Before the effort was a dozen hours old, two cars smashed together on the cornext to the newspaper office! _The occupants of the cars were not injured seriously, thank goodness. They tore up two good cars; one lady had some stitching done on a knee; one young lady is going to sport a “shiner” for th'e opening of school; another lady, had a good case of hysterics; and the crash of one car against the light pole cut off the electricity. Until a repairman arrived, the' modern housekeeper of the neighborhood found herself without stove, refrigerator, lights or an electric fan. A bitter lesson has been learned. You can preach safety; you can howl it on the radio; you can beg and plead; you can plaster she road sides with caution signs; you can print the papers full of safety warnings—still there are accidents. The fellow who invents a wreckless car has a fortune awaiting him. (Like the farmer who’s gonna grow square-sided peas—so’s ~ they won’tjikp off’en your knife.) « « * School days! School days! * * Dear ole Golden Rule days! Readin ’n Ritin ’n Rithmetic Taught to the tune of a hickory stick. Like everything else, school has changed. It’s had to meet changing conditions and un-changing human, nature. From all the wild tales told, there’s no way to know what schools are like unless you visit and then it’s likely to be the ease of the blind men going to see the elephant. So many tales have been spread on modern day education that I know I don’t understand it and sometimes there’s doubt if the educator does. Articles are written telling that such-and-such a grade has classes in everything from how to be a success at a party to how to pour tea *or mend the screen door. Numbers of paragraphs tell of youngsters in college totally unprepared. Then when it’s all proved that education is totally inadequate, a record comes out showing one of our boys or girls who is making an A-l success of his college or business, and, since he attended the same school as all the others, he must have had a pretty fair education. Tie a healthy sign when the educators are dissatisfied. They're looking for something better. My guess is that they hope to retain the best of the past and improve the future in the school’s training of the youngsters. The little town of Fillmore, New York, pulled their 100th birthday party this summer with a felogan of a “Century of Rigor Mortis," nothing had been accomplished in the town for the first hundred years, the citizens maintained. Their celebration is over and the town fathers say the slogan has been changed and money is in the till. Like the neighbors in Culpeper county alter their 200th birthday party, the New York town has been able to finance the party and refund much of the donations to the town merchants who underwrote the centennial celebration. The slogan has been changed to “no rigor but more vigor." ♦ * * “Nature in a whimsical mood, is never dull and in her lighter moments has produced such things as two-headed trout, antlered doe •■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ Baseball I UNDER LIGHTS j NIGHTS AT 8:00 I 4 miles from Culpeper on Orange RoadAdmission: 25c & 60c.

PLAY-OFFS START TUESDAY, SEPT. 12 deer, cream-colored black bears, men who believe snipe can be captured at night through the medium of a tow bag and a red lantern, and now a man wants to know, when Guatemalan long-tail rabbits were introduced in Massachusetts.” There was suspicion that someone’s leg was being yanked, but this item is true. Long-tailed rabbits were introduced about two years ago in Massachusetss, but have almost disappeared. They were initially introduced because of their ability to run down and kill red foxes, which they did. Unfortunately, the area of their lease had a Targe griy fox‘population. The inability to overtake and kill tms more elusive fox so frustrated the long-tails that they ceased breeding. The ultimate decimation of the long-tails, however, was attributed to stone walls. As there are no stone walls in Guatemala, from whence the long-tails were brought to Massachusetts, the animals had no inherited instinct for dealing with them. When a long-tail encountered a stone wall, his only recourse was to follow it, hoping for a break in this barrier which would permit him to pass through. He ran himself to death. With the death of the long-tails, the hopes of the foxhound breeders are dashed low. They had hoped to bring about a cross with the} longtail and thus create a superior strain of foxhound. As there has been no success in the efforts to cross the beaver and retriever, to create a trout dog which would gnaw down a streamside tree ani retrieve th* angler's fly from the branches, the fox-hound-long-tail cross might also have been doomed to failure.

Get a system that will meet your needs now and in the future. ^Buying a pump too small, is a common mistake. Be sure your automatic pump is properly installed.
