OCT 7 I5?0 VOL. 1—NO. 49 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY. OCTOBER 5, 1950 $2.00 Per Year Rappahannock Boys Win At Richmond 'Fair By W. H. Lyne, Co. Ag«nt Three Rappahannock 4.H boys entered seven hogs at the Atlantic Rural Exposition and won seven ribbons. Competition was open to any 4-H club of F.F.A. members in the United States. Jacob Sisk, son of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Sisk of Woodtille, exhibited a pen of three market Berkshire barrows. Jacob won first in the pen of three Berkshires, first in market. Berkshire single, and Reserve Champion pen and Reserve Champion Single Barrow over all breeds in the Junior department, > for a total of $30 cash. Archie Bailey, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Bailey of Washington, won second in both the pen of Berkshires and Berkshires single for a total of $24 cash. Archie unfortunately was sick and could not see his hogs which were shown by Nelson Atkins, Jr., of Flint Hill. ' ‘ Both the Sisk and Bailey hogs were .bred by Gordon .Thornhill ' of Boston. Nelson Atkins, Jr,, of Flint Hill exhibited a purebred Poland-China gilt bred by himself and .won third price of $8. Unfortunately this gilt injured her hind ankle in being loaded and showed a bit tender, otherwise, according to the opinions of several out-of-state swine breeders, this gilt would hare won her class handily. This gilt, "Susie,” is out of "Brass Lady,” one of the original purebred Polands placed with Rappahannock 4-H boys by Sean, Roebuck Foundation of Atlanta, Ga. Brass Lady has produced six litters : two of eight pigs each, two of ten pigs each, one of 12, and her last, which are now suckling pigs, consisted of 13 head. A Maryland Poland China breeder plans to buy “Susie” at a satisfactory price if she gets over her lameness before Saturday, the end of the 1950 Atlantic Rural Exposition. Should the Grand Champion Pen or Grand Champion single of •. the Junior swine department,win in the Sweepstalfe show champions. then Jacob Sisk’s hogs will be eligible to compete for the Reserve Championships in the Sweepstakes.

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 Fight For a Free Press Has Been a Battle Of The Common Man By M. TYUS BUTLER With war and threat of war constantly at hand, each American becomes increasingly aware of the freedom he possesses in this, one of the few remaining countries where the theory of the equality of man still remains. More than ever before, freedom is now, symbolically and literally, based on man’s right to print and publish what he desires, being limited primarily by the responsi^ bility for what he writes. The fight for freedom of the press is one in which all Americans can take pride because although only a few have played a major role in cementing this right, all citizens have given it .their approval. In periods when this freedom is in , danger, they add their voices to those of thq many editors, reporter^ and writers over the coun-v try in a swelling cry for guarantee of that freedom. The colonists who came to this country did not bring with them any constitutional guarantee of freedom of the press, nor did that right come easy to the Americans (whose ideas of independence and freedom increased with the distance between them and the seat of government. The first great impetus to freedom of the press in this country was given in the trihl of John Peter Zenger, a German immigrant who in 1733 started the New York Weekly Journal as an avowed opposition paper to the mouthpiece of the royal governor of the colony of New York. Supported by the common people of that colony, Zenger’s paper aroused the anger of the governing .body, and after the appearance of several strong articles on the usurpation of power by the governor, Zenger in November, 1734, was seized, throvfa -■ into jail, and charged with seditious libel. This was the first recorded case of a newspaper started in America for the purpose of opposing a governing political group, although James Franklin, Benjamin’s brother, began his New England Courant in 1721 as a voice opposing the dominating religious body in the Bay colony. The existing law pertaining to libel, as it was brought over from England, was that truth could not be used as a defense, nor could the jury determine any phase of the legal question involved in the trial. All the jury could do was to rule on whether Zenger was the person responsible for the publication of the articles claimed to have been seditious. The legal counsel which came to the support of the defendant was ruled ineligible to practice in the New York courts, so -t the last minute Andrew Hamilton, an 80-year-old Philadelphia lawyer, made the trip to New York to enter a plea to the jury which will always remain in the hoatory books of this coun try. The jury, taking upon itself broad powers, returned the verdict of “guilty of publishing.” As this constituted no crime, the result was Zenger’s acquittal of the charge of seditious libel. The welcome of this vendict by the liberal elements was not confined to the American colonies, but was celebrated just as strongly in England where is helped to pave the way for the passage of the Fox Libel Law in 1792. The Fox measure liberalized the English law a great deal. The Zenger decision went a long way toward establishing truth as a defense for seditious libel. The theory involved culminated ih the Declaration of Independence; in which Thomas Jeffereon -•charted a new course for govern- ments of the world. The first constitutional guarantee of free speech and a free press was perhaps contained in the writings of George Mason who prepared the Bill of Rights for the Constitution of Virginia. This view was included in the Federal Bill of Rights, and today all 48 states have expressions in their constitutions that differ only to a slight degree. The author of the Declaration of Independence furnished another * great force for the common man’s' fight for all freedoms when he accepted the mandate of the small fanners and backwoodsmen in his election of 1800 to broaden their participation in government. Tensed the “bloodless revolution of 1800” Jefferson’s election guar* mnteed that the Alien and Sedition him. passed under the Federalist Administration of John Adams would not be renewed when they were scheduled to expire in 1801. These laws bad limited the activity of editors and writers and had made them vulnerable to the political whims of those in power. Although few were convicted un-. der the Alien and Sedition laiws, they remained a threat held over the heads of each editor to ste that he soft pedal any criticism he might have of the administration in power. Two outstanding cases in this century concerning freedom of the press that have been passed on by the United States Supreme Court have been those that have gone up from the states of Minnesota and of Louisiana. The former case is based on a statute passed by the Minnesota state legislature which provided that a person engaged in the business of publishing a malicious, scandalous, and defamatory newspaper could be found guilty of maintaining a nuisance and could be enjoined perpetually from continuing the publishing of the paper. A case was brought up under this statute and enjoinment, was twice upheld by the Minnesota State Supreme Court, the state court decision was reversed and that statute was held to be an infringement of freedom of the press, because it imposed a previous restraint upon publication equivalent to censorship. The decision taken by the U. S. Supreme Court finally established by precedent the rule that freedom of the press and of speech are definitely included in the liberty protected by the Fourteenth Amendment from state encroachment. The Louisiana case grew out of Huey Long’s fight with the newspapers of the state and his attempt to force them into line. The state legislature of Louisiana passed an act in 1934 which placed a twe percent levy against the gross receipts of all newspapers having a weekly circulation of more than 20,000. The legislative act was upheld by the state courts, but was reversed by the United States Supreme Court, which found the act unconstitutional on the ground that the tax was an indirect method of limiting the circulation of information to which the public was entitled by virtue of their constitutional guaranties. The Supreme Court decision emphasised the need for a free press in these words, "A free press stands as one of the great interpreters between the government and the people. To allow it to be fettered is to fetter ourselves.” Thus through almost 300 years the American people, as citizens of Great Britain and of the United States, have through their leaders and through their own power of public opinion insisted that the right. to speak and to write be left free of governmental restrictions. Newspaper editors as a group have taken upon themselves the ethical responsibility of voluntary self-restriction to protect the general welfare of the public and to meet the demands of good taste and decency. The strength of a people is in. its right to talk and to be heard, and to formulate a- public opinion which will include the democratic views which Jefferson and most of our leaders have f claimed for each American. 'October --- Our year would b« drab indeed ■without October, a veritable Joseph among months. Its manycolored coat is flung across the hills to be seen afar, in time as well as distance. We look forward to October color as one. of the magnificent spectacles of our land; and when the leases have gone and the world is gray and white with winter we look back and remember autumn at its height in October. Spring is full of color, but no matter how lush it may seem at the time it is color on a minor scale. It is the color of a million miniatures, each spring flower a 'tiny brush-etrolce. 'Rut October is autumn, and autumn is a mural •e met it outranges the eye. Ton look for spring la a Ml * beside a break. Tea ■ . •' . : v V. ' V ' don't have to look for October. It covers a whole hillside. It cloaks the valleys and knows no horizon. A whole grove of maples lights up with the fire of autumn, with every flame color in the spectrum. A valley gleams and shimmers* with gold from swamp wil* low and sycamore, a whole broad valley full and brimming. An upland pasture lined with briars and blueberries is twenty acres of^ green and forty rods of purple1 and crimson. And when the winds of late October blow, even the wind is full of color. The month is so full of color it can scatter it to tfeeskies and rustle it under- i foot. Even the skies of October, once the rains have cleared September’s dust, are the bluest of all skies, with the whitest of all huge clouds. October is a long mon'h, as our months run. But few Octobers are long enough to wear out their welcome. Sun-ripe and color-bold, October holds a special place in our affection.—N. Y. Times. O Wad Some Power The Gif tie Gie Us Many pupils at Rappahannock High responded wholeheartedly to a request that they enumerate desirable qualities in a pupil andin a teacher—as they saw it! It was obvious that many regarded this as a long felt need to “tell off’ the teacher, and tell off they did. It was interesting to note that they were evidently sincere for they listed equally rigid criticisms and suggestions for the pupils. Illuminating definitions usually result from this type assignment. Samples from the recent inquiry are: Pupil: “A person who wants to learn and understand things.” Teacher: “A person who understands the problems of the students.” If nothing else had resulted from this canvass of opinions, the above two definitions from two pupils' papers would have made worthwhile the time spent. Under the first definition may be included thoughts from other papers. Most of the pupils stated that they thought a good pupil should be attentive and should avoid being noisy in class. The papers reflected that the interested, and even the disinterested, Pitts Park THEATRE Front Royal, Virginia THURSDAY, OCT. 5 BARBARA STANWYCK —in— “No Man Of Her Own” FRIDAY, OCT. « (One Day Only) HUMPHREY BOGART “Chain Lightning" SATURDAY, OCT. 7 waBXsgdxa VIRGINIA MAYO “ —in— “Backfire” SUNDAY, OCT. 8 Shows at 3 and 9 P.M.

Pupils expressed beliefs that they must try to get along with others, that they muet be punctual, courteous, loyal to the school, helpful to teachers and to each other, able to accept blame and to take criticism. In short, their requirements for themselves were very rigid and would b# conducive to a veritable Utopia. Other requirements for themselves included such definite end important things as neatness, cleanliness, obedience, cheerfulness, end interest in their work. Many papers emphasized that the teacher must be fair. It was repeated over and over: "No pets’* “honest,” "interested in all the pupils". One opinion whose sage advice far exceeded its years of experience was that the good teacher is "interested in all pupils and gets them interested.” Ouch! How many teachers can feel that they get their pupils interested? And if they could, Utopia again would be possible. Other specifications were to be helpful, explain the easiest way they 'could (good idea!), friendly, polite, keep order. Nearly all the pupils, believe it or not, wanted their teachers to have good order in the room. Other opinions less definite were: "A good teacher is not too hard and not too easy.” “Not too long assignments, but enough to keep them busy.” - Probably the choice statement about the good teacher among the great sheaf of papers was this one* “A good teach4r>wm ‘not* blow her topi” Granted!

It; matters not if it made money, it is of little consequence if hundreds of thousands of people attended; the number and quality of exhibits may have been higher and that, too, was not all important. The people had a good time and in cash that can’t be measured. It was a time for folks to visit, to talk, to enjoy the company of their neighbors in the county, and in that respect it was a prime success. Let it- not be said of Rappahannock that they can’t just get together and have a good time. State it plainly: we like good company and we knew where to find , ■ it right at home. * ¥ ¥ One of Rappahannock’s expressions is often used when letterwriting time rolls around. Brevity is more than the soul of wit—it’a often a necessity and is certainly more kind to the recipient who would like to know what it is you have to say without going “all around Robin Hood’s .barn’’ first. Some years ago a gentleman of the county went to Mr. B. and asked him to write a letter for him—to his true love. Pen in hand, Mr. B. turned to the gentleman: “Well, yyhat do you want to tell her?” “Tell that girl I love her x and bring it to a close,” was the probipt reply. "T ¥ * ¥ They’ve found in Florida living ivory-billed woodpeckers, America’s rarest birds, and now the government is establishing a sanctuary for them, announces the National Audubon Society. This bears study. There are some rare birds in Rappahannock, and some of them are tough enough to make ivory bills seem like jelly. It is not wise, however, to say that sanctuaries are to 'be established. That pounds as \t you were encouraging these birds, and they need no more encouragement. The varieties of rare birds that exist in Rappahannock are so many that it would require a new method of classification. There is the variety that loves to tease—goodness knows 1 that Va« . riety needs no' encouragement! There is'the variety that loves to tell tall tales, and the only reason to establish a sanctuary for them would be to relieve the rest of the Citizens of having to listen. There is the variety that enjoys furnishing the basis of the tales that othtefs tell-—and, mercy on us! don’t do anything to encourage them! Yes, sir, Florida is not the only state with rare birds. The main difference seems to be that the people .down there have just discovered them, and Rappahannock has known all along that there were many rare birds in the county—then, too, Rappahannocjc is not planning any means to preserve them for posterity.

It was suppressed after the first issue. The editor of an early Boston newspaper organized public meeting and demonstrations in favor of forming a United States with a Constitution. It is believed that his activities did much to cause Massachusetts to ratify the Constitution. An early patriot editor carried legal government notices in his> newspaper free of charge, refusing to accept payment until finally George Washington thanked him for his generosity to the fledgling government and insisted that he _ accept-pay_ The< first newspaper in the American colonies told its readers, “It’ is designed that the Countrey shall be' furnished once a moneth (or if any Glut * or Occurences 'of Bueif consideraiold fthingsr a*' have arrived unto our Notice.” * The first printing press was imported into this country in 1639. The first daily in the United States appeared in Philadelphia in 1784. Many early colonial printers and editors conducted “general stores” in connection with their newsJ paper plants. The Boston tea party was planned in the back room of the Boston Gazette. The Boston News-Letter, first successful American newspaper, had a circulation of 300 after 15 years of publishing in 1719. Colonial newspapers were the mainstay of the movement for independence. At the end of the American Revelation there mere 4S newepepere In the eoknlee. Culpeper Hospital Gifts Reach $30,000 Marie A. D. Williams, chairman of the committee for'the Culpeper Hospital and Health Center, and E. i. Nottingha, Jr., of the committee for soliciting special gifts for memorials, have announced that plans are being formed to start an organization in Rappahannock county to include this county in the memorials. Donations and gifts for the Culpeper Hospital and Health Center have reached a mark of $30,000, according to the sign posted on the corner of Main and Davis streets in the town. The goal is set at $50,000. According to Col. William Nalle most of the gifts are in the form of memorials to individuals. Although the hospital and health center was established primarily as a memorial to the veterans of World Wars I and II, many gifts are memorials to those other than veterans. Memorials range in size from $500 to $8000. One memorial of $6000 has been received and the emergency operating room will bear the memorial placque from' this gift.

Department of Agriculture has announced that it' will, pay shippers one half the purchase price, freight alongside ship, not to exceed $1.25 per bu. The program, which is practically the same as that on last year’s crop, became effective September 11 and will extend through May,' 1951. It is available to exporters of apples produced in the United States meeting at least ,U. S. No.. 1 or State Fancy grade and packed in new export tub ' baskets or boxes in accordance with program requirements. Complete information on the program and forms used thereunder may be obtained from Norman F. Horsey, Fruit and Vegetable Branch, PMA, U. S. Department of Agri/culture, Washington, 25, D. C. According to R. B. Bridgforth, state chairman of the Production Marketing Administration, considerable interest in the program is expected. He said that Virginia shippers under the 1949-50 export program shipped 149,819 bushels of apples on which they received USDA payments of $165,112, averaging about $1.10 per bushel, in addition to the export sales price. ; Recent figures from the Office of Foreign Agricultural Relations . show that apple exports from the United States have slumped sharply from pre-war, levels; 1% the ' period 1335-39,’ exports a&fi»ge<T 9,730,000 bushels per year; dropped to 894,000 per yjear during the 1940-44 war period; and have averaged only 2> 852,000 per year since the war. Last year exports were down to 1,853,000 bushels. Imports in the United Kingdom, one of the big markets for apples, have dropped to about one-third of the 13,638,000 bushel pre-war average. The Fresh Apple Export Program seeks to restore some of these overseas markets. A better than average apple crop in Virginia is expected byBureau of Agricultural Economics statisticians. Their September crop report shows an indicated commercial apple crop here mf 11,730,000 bushels this year, compared to a production of 8,525,; 000 last year, and a ten-year (1939-48) average of 9,589,000.

Hood Wayland, charged with assault and battery against Town Policeman ^ Horace Johnson, was heard Fri-^ ' day, September 29, before Trial Justice C. E. Reams, Jr. The judge will announce his decision later. The hearing was an outcome of an altercation in the county jail September 1 when Officer Johnson went to the jail to remove a prisoner for bond, and was ordered out of the jail by Sheriff Wayland. At the hearing Friday Officer Johnson testified the sheriff struck him twice with a blackjack, while he defended himself only with his arm. The prisoner he had sought to release corroborated Officer Johnson’s testimony. _Following the hearing of testimony in the .crowded office of the Trial Justice, the defense attorneys, Clarence Carter of Orange and Jackson L. Fray of Culpeper, asked to review the case. They retired from the courtroom with the town attorney, State Senator Robert Button, the defense witnesses, and Sheriff Wayland. Upon their retmrn, both sides expressed the desire-“not to argue the case.” A reporter from The Evening Star stated: “The judge smiled and said he would make his decision later. His secretary, Mrs. Virginia B. Wood, who had been knitting throughout the proceedings, looked up and smiled, too. Asked by a reported when he thought he would reach a decision, the judge answered, ‘It may be a day or it may be a year.’ He was certain, though, it would not be today.” Sheriff B. Hood Wayland, 63, has been sheriff in Culpeper county for 11 years. Officer Johnson, 46, has been on the town police force 13 years. It is stated that the sheriff and the town officer had not been on ,friendly terms for some time, reportedly since the town officer gave the sheriff a parking ticket some months ago.

School Lunch Fund Allotment Is Delayed The Agriculture Department said recently it has been delayed in allotting funds to States for this year’s school lunch program because it is not certain yet how much money will be available. , Congress appropriated $83,500,000 for the program, the same amount as last year. But it gave President Truman authority to reduce this and other nondefense items in order to hold down Federal expenditures. Normally,'such Federal funds before the school terms opened. The department said it hopes to ^et a White House dedsibn within a few days. If allowed the full amount.of the appropriation, the department would allot about $65,000,000 *o the states to help finance the program. . The remainder of the money would be used by the ’department to buy surplus foods for distribution among the participating schools. Officials said the schools Joining in the program should go ahead with it, because they are certain to get some Federal aid.

One letter of particular interest from an outstanding farmer and citizen was recently received by the writer. The letter follows— Beauregard Stock Farm Brandy, Virginia. Dear Mr. Henretty: The recent heavy rains have caused severe erosion on many of our Culpeper farms. I hope you have been able to get a picture of some of the washed away fields for use in our future Conservation work. These pictures can be used in our educational program to show our young people what damage one rain storm can do to* poorly protected fields. Last Wednesday afternoon, I stood upon the banks of Mountain Run and watched the swirling muddy waters taking away tons of good soil as well as trash, small grain and corn stubble which had been torn from the fields. A short drive on any highway leading out of Culpeper will show field after field recently plowed and in many cases seeded in fall crops that are now cut up and crisscrossed with gullies, in addition to the loss of soil, and in many cases high priced fertilizer, seed and labor, are gone for keeps. This, to my mind would he tragic under any circumstances, but today when we have the knowledge, tools and organizations with which to prevent this waste of our resources it is doubly tragic. Remembering that disaster often stirs in us new determinations to remedy our mistakes, I believe cies should take advantage of this' opportunity and get as many people as possible, particularly our young farmers, to look at- and compare the damage to unprotected areas subject to erosion iwith farms that are following a complete soil and water conservation plan. Only minor damage can be . found on fully protected farms. Let’s not forget that for months this year we did not have enough water and we can truthfully point out to those who are interested and care to look that these same conservation plans referred to will only prevent the soil and crops from washing away but will hold back the water until large amounts can soak in the ground and help carry our crops with less damage, through dry spells. This, too, every farmer should .be vitally, interest?.. '- M in. NLet tail all do Overy thing Teachers Meeting Friday Will Close County Schools Schools of Rapp&iianttock county will be closed tomorrow, October 6, for the annual teachers’ meeting of District-H, Virginia Education Association, to be held at Culpeper High School.
