Harri~aon returns to the Congress with a complimentary majority over his Republican opponent, J. A. Garber. Rappahannock’s 6-to-l vote for the Representative was running close behind Mr. Harrison’s home town of Winchester with a 7%-to-l vote for her native son. Rappahannock’s vote by precincts was: • . - , 1 Precinct Harrison Garber Amissville «... 60 20 Flint Hill 108 12 Hawlin __—42 1) < Sperryville 167 16 Washington 163 ‘ 28 Woodville _78 ■ ■ 6 Total 60S , 04 Mr. Harrison’s vote in thd county of 603-94 can be compared with 869-252 in the election two years ago, when "his opponent was Timberlake. The comparison seta only 324 votes difference between a presidential and non-presidential election year, and also shows that Harrison’s majority this year ^was^ higher proportionatfly. than two years ago, by about 2 per cent. Mr. Harrison carried every city ■and county in the Seventh District including traditionally Republican Page. The district includes the counties and cities of Amherst, Augusta, Bath, Buena Vista, .Clarke, Frederick, Highland, Harrisonburg, Nelson, Page, Rappahannock, Rockbridge, Rockingham, Shenandoah, Staunton, and Warren. Representative Howard W. Smith from the neighboring Eighth District won easily over Republican Tyrell Krum who carried Arling, ton county but lost out in the district. Smith defeated Krum with a slightly higher majority than that polled in 1948. Democrats won the five contested Congressional seats in the state by wide margins. Both amendments to the State Constitution were passed, though not without some opposition. * The ax fell throughout the land <m Democrats,— Luc**, Tydingei Myers, and many others (including Mrs. Helen Gahagan Douglas), and the new Senate will see a Democratic majority “by the skin of the teeth,” 49-47. Some unofficial returns say 30 House seats were gained by Republicans, while conservative estimates say 25. - Jim Berryman’s cartoon of yesterday’s Evening Star shows J. Q. Voter proudly displaying his new infant, a be-whiskered, diapered 82nd Congress in a baby basket. Wrlnkled-browed President Truman views the infant with the comment: “I hope he’s not going' to be another problem child!’’ Following a concerted campaign to emphasize the importance of voting, a total of about- 110,000 votes were cast in the state as compared with about 224,000 in the 1948 presidential election.

Reid Have Same Birthday Mr. and Mrs. Charles Garrison Beid celebrated their birthday anniversaries, Tuesday, November 7. Mr. Reid would probably tell how many years ago it was that the boy arrived in the Reid family, but it’s usually ticklish ground in asking such a question of a lady, so the story reads thus: Just exactly (blank) years ago there arrived in the state of Virginia a baby boy and a baby girl, born the same day, November 7. The little girl arrived at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Bradley in Luray and the local paper carried the birth announcement. -•“On the same day there was great excitement at the household of Joseph Reid in Flint Hill. When the baby' boy was born, it was announced that his name would be Charles Garrison, (He should have been born at Flint Hill, and'thereby goes one of the family jokes: •Mrs? Reid loved to be “on the go” and she was visiting in Warren bounty at the time the boy was born. The grandchildren love to tell that “Granny couldn’t even stay home long enough for Daddy to be born.”) The boy and the girl grew up and were married when they were 23 years old. There is some comment on the suitability of this identical age in a marriage. A story is told of a couple where the wife was three days older than her husband and he never failed to tease her about it; said she was older than he and should have known better! At the Reid household there can never be any such argument. There are now three boys and three girls to help their mother and father celebrate the one birthday. The boys are Joe, C. G., and Bobby; the girls are Mrs. Paul Miller, Mrs. Downing Wood, and Gladys Bradley. Joe has just won high scholastic honors at N. C. State; C. G. was recently heard from with the Merchant Marine in Brazil; and Bobby was last heard from with the army in San Francisco. Gladys, the baby of the family, is at Madison College; and the two married daughters are at their homes in Flint Hill and Harris Hollow. 4-H Achievement Week By W. V. SavilU Assistant County Agent The week fo November 4-12 is National 4-H Achievement Week, a week when outstanding members are rewarded for their interest and work fbr'their year of toil., ’ Rappahannock county's 72 boys ate making money. The" profit they have made on their projects from November 1949 to November 1950 is $1765.25 or $34 profit per boy. This money usually is spent on hew projects, furthering old projects or saving for the future. Nearly every member makes a profit on his project. This is due largely to good management, keeping of records and choaIng a suitable project.

After the tour everybody met back at the Firehouse. Slides were shown by the agent on 'Williamsburg Bouquets,” and then a demonstration was given on winter bouquets. Hostesses, Mrs. Ora Ramey and Mrs. Jessie' Rowsie, served the group with splendid refreshments. * - . David Lyne, son of Igj^-eM Mrs. W. H. Lyne, has been quite sick for the past week with tonsilitis. _ . . ■ . . : \ ■ . -■ I- - Four people were caught lash Thursday night removing apples from the orchard of Wade H. Massie, Jr., at Massie’a Corner. In jail at present is Jack Maid* en, and out on bail are Mrs. Mar* tha Weaver Maiden^ and Fred Leake. The other member of the party was a Weaver boy, brother of Mrs. Maiden. He was released and returned to his home in Cul* peper county the following morn* ing. Apples had been missing and the men on the Massie farm had been on the look-out for possible raid* ing parties. As Ray Clatterbuck and Charlie Williams, the latter colored, both; workmen on the Massie place, were returning home late Wednesday night, they noticed a car in the orchard. Flashing their spot* light on the car, they got the license number and started for. Washington to get the sheriff. The car followed them as far as Massie’s Cornet and "then turned and went 'back. Sheriff Critzer and Trooper W. Buntin accompanied the men back to the orchard and, with Mr. Mas* fie, they came upon the four members of the "apple gathering** party, who had returned to their work in the orchard. Following the statement of the boy, young Weaver, the group (Leake, and Mr. and Mrs. Maiden) admitted that they had made trips to the orchard on previous oc* casions, and that they had been peddling the apples, but they reported that some of the apples were stored at their place in Culpeper county, near Catalpa. Mr. Massie was able to recover the apples which had been stored. It is estimated that the raiders got 47 bushels Monday night and 22 bushels Tuesday night. Trial Justice B. M. Miller has disqualified himself and the trial is awaiting the naming of another Rapp’k County Farmer* Requested to Vote For P.M.A. Committeemen ‘A final call to Rappahannock county farmers who are eligible to vote in the PMA farmer-committemen elections, was issued by H.

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 What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it it dearness only that gives everything its value—Payne. Double Standard Prevails In Judging ‘Timid’ Editor Sometimes this business of what to print and what to omit in the way of news stories becomes a bit confusing. It becomes more confusing when the weekly press is chastised for being “timid" by a daily press which does the same thing on a larger seal. It was (well-known that the late President Roosevelt suffered a great deal due to the crippling re-t suits of polio. Photographers and newspapermen were careful to avoid reference to his defection. That was fitting and proper. , Cut is the weekly newspaperman timid when he “overlooks" a similarly uninfportant detail about a local resident—for instance, in the writing -pf an obituary about a, local resident who had a club foot? Those critics of the press who single out the rural press for special attention would think so. There is another example: Recently President “let it slip" in a press conference that General MacArthur was going to demand the North Korean surrender. Then he prevailed upon the newsmen to withhold the release untilitcame from Tokyo. The newsman did. But the town council meets and one of the members lets out a hint about a story that the mayor was preparing to proclaim officially in a later issue of the paper. Of course, you don’t print the story. Are you thereby derelict in your duty to your readers—or to the paper? We think not but a lot of our critics might. * We believe that there is a great deal of unnecessary timidity in all newspapering—and it is probably true that the weekly press is more guilty than any other. But we also believe that everything must be viewed in the proper perspective. If it was proper to avoid mention of the late President Roosevelt’s affliction—and it was—it is proper to avoid mentioning similar facts about a smalltown resident who might never be known beyond the town limits. If it is proper to co-operate with President Truman in the withholding of a story for a more appropriate time of release, it is proper to co-operate with your mayor, or the grocer or the gal down the street who got married secretly in a nearby state and does ItltlimitlllllllMMIHMtllllHI FOOTBALL UNDER LIGHTS — 8 p.m. | Friday, November 10 I To Be Broadcast over WCVA I z z s s I Culpeper High School f i in. | I Fairfax High School I C.

I | I the Walrus said ... i i i JIIIMtHtlflM* iniMIIHIIIIMI The stores have begun their Christmas advertising — reminding us that all Christmas packages must be sent to boys overseas before next Wednesday, November 15. The name given to the celebration of Christ’s birthday— Christ’s Mass—should be written in full. During the past years when man has learned to cut corners and abbreviate for speed, the, heathen custom of writing “Xmas” has arisen. As far as it lies within the power of the Poor Old Walrus, such will not appear in print in the paper! Some years ago I heard a preacher speak on this subject. He said that “X” was the unknown quantity, and truly Christ had become the unknown quantity in Christmas—that the season had been commercialized until the real meaning, a celebration of the birth of the Son of Cod, had been for■ gotten,. - ---.-:~rsI’ve been self-conscioul ‘ about the use of “Xmas” ever since. Of course, the paper can do nothing about it if some advertiser wishes to put “Xmas” in his advertisement. He pays for that space and he can advertise tissuepaper overcoats if he wants to— and pays for it. However, whenever “Xmas” is seen in print in 4he RappahannoekNews, it is not with the approval of the Walrus. * * * Someone asked if the Walruscolumn were written by an “old man.” No, sir, it is not. The word “man” may be forgiven—but that word “old” was the one that will not be forgot. Reference to age is a touchy subject among the “more deadly sex.” * * * Don’t let anyone tell you politics has not changed. A few years back, advertisements used to appear in the newspaper. “I’d see a blurred picture of some old codger, and then I’d have to read half-way down the column of fine print to see if. the fellow was trying to be elected to something, or whether he was givin* a testimonial for somebody’s little liver pills, or something,” states a fellow. “Times is changed, though. Now the fellows buy radio programs and holler their heads off at you.” _ One politician last Saturday night spoke over the radio. He said that the party was paying for the time and he meant to make the most of it.

The entire nation would have welcomed the “piffle of a pointless pen-pusher” Saturday evening. I blushed, knowing that the world was hearing the Chief Executive of these United States make such a disgusting spectacle of himself! He said something about “having heads examined” and he’s right. I Should have mind examined for listening to the slobbering. It couldn’t be noticed that Staseen did much better when it came to giving facts and information. Grade Allen could have used that radio time and brought relaxation to some of us taxpayers at the end of a hard day. * * * The season is rolling around when men have an excuse to play with electric trains again. Of course, the story is told of the man who bought an electric train for his six-weeks-old daughter, but this seems* slightly extreme. It is generally conceded however, that father enjoys the electric train more than the youngster in the family. There’s a fellow in an adjoining town who has a hobby of fancy electric trains. He has quite an outlay of fancy track and scalemodel trains. .^s * prank one day, * he placed a large photo of a cornheld against the iwall of his basement, placed his toy train on the toy track before the photo and then took a picture of it. His greatest pleasure came when he took the picture down to the station and had all the railroad engineers trying to guess where on the line the photo was made, “i know I’ve seen that held somewhere,” said one engineer, “But I just can’t place it.” * * * It would be interesting to be a fly on the wall and hear a discussion of something overheard Tuesday: “Today is the time of laborsaving devices,” went the electionday monologue. “Everything of the modern time is to save time. My wife has automatic washers, dish-washers, ironers, and 'most every other known gadget. I note that in my work every idea is to save "time. For what? I work harder and longer than I used to. I rush madly from place to place when my grandfather seemed to manage to feed his family without super-speed. I’m all confused; I have reached the conclusion that Iwaste time saving time. . . . What has caused qll the extra .work when devices are supposed to save time? Has super-efficiency consumed my extra time that I was supposed to get from all these time-saving devices? Be-dogged if I know!” Mister, I don’t know, either. Im sorta like you; I’m running around m such a hurry—using time-saving devices—that I don’t aeem td get time to stop long enough to think over1 your problem. But I’m interested. Let me know whet the outcome is—but don’t make the explanation very’ lengthy, or I won’t have time to listen. « * * Aye, an* it is foriver I be takin’ a ribbin’ from ma friends for bein’ so tight-wad stingy Scotch, but I bow low to an acquaintance I chanced to meet t’other day. ”1 donna wan to subscribe to yer paper,” he says, “but I am interested when bits of; items appear in print concernin’ ma own community. So, wheniver a story is in yer paper about this part o’ the county, I’d like a copy mailed to me, and joust send me a bill.” Faith, mon! D’ya realize I'd have to peruse a separate list each week, wrop yer a siparate paper, stamp it, and then at the end of the month use ma printed billheads and envelopes to mail yer a bill for 5-cents, affixin’ a threecent stamp? I told the above story to a visitor at the newspaper office. Doggone his hide, he topped itt I hate bad enough to be beat at story telling, but the insult was heaped with injury, for the man was a damyankee from Maine l * * * Skipper Giles says, "For more than 15 years now Charlie Jenkins has been yelling about my bald head. I want it known by all in the county that he’s got no more hair on his head than I’Ve .got on mine!” Farmer Upholds* County's Reputation For Gracious Hospitality Rappahannock is still struggling to maintain its reputation for gracious hospitality. Mr. M . . realized last week that he had been having guests at his apple-packing shed. He kpew that he had not been on hand to speak— to .them in a cordial and hospitable manner. This caused him great anxiety. He feared that the county’s reputation for cheery greetings given to visitors would be lost! In fact, he had all kinds of thoughts running through his head. Mr. M . . made plans whereby this situation could be changed. ,He appointed a reception committee to be" on hand at all hours. He insisted that any guests at his home should be greeted in a. manner befitting the occasion and the hour. The first night the reception committee had an uneventful monotonous period of waiting, but on the second night they were called upon to step forward and meet Uninvited guests. The visitors arrived rather late at night, and they were in the process of borrowing some crates of apples. The appointed reception committee stepped forward and made a valianat attempt to uphold the traditions of hospitality k n o w n j throughout the county. They may* have neglected to roll down the velvet cyarpet, but they greeted the visitors in a cordial manner Pitts Drive-In Theatre IVz Mile from Culpeper, on Brandy Road Two Shows Each Night — 7 P.M. and 9 P.M. ..«......

The visitors were then given comfortable quarters for the rest of the night; and Mr. M . . called Sheriff Critzer to see that it was all attended to in the nicest and best manner. It is reported that the Commonwealth Attorney asked the visitors the next morning if they would like fried apples for breakfast, but the guests by that time either were not as interested in apples as they had been the night before or else their appetites had been spoiled. If there were any humor in the situation, they failed to see it. It will give Rappahannock great pleasure to greet all such visitors in like manner. Too well it is remembered that some time back a bunch of unwelcome visitors got themselves into the habit'of backing trucks up to pastures and “borrowing” cattle. There are occasional instances of a few chickens being “borrowed" from chick' en houses, also. All the county would enjoy seeing special reception committees greeting these “guests” who .choose the middle of the night to make their visits, The folks of the county resemble many other parts of the country in their opinion of thieves; We all know the winking that goes on over government “thievery” but it is still known that there is nothing much more low-down and ’onery than night-prowling chicken or apple or cattle thieves. Use NEWS classified ads Farmers Urged To Buy U. S. Savings Bonds Farmers of Rappahannock conn* ty are urged by J. Rodes Brown, Jr., to put part of their profits to work in one' of the safest investments in the world, United States Savings Bonds. "You worked hard for your money, make it work for you,” Mr. Brown stated in quoting a national Savings Bonds slogan for farmers. He asked farmers to be sure their hard-earned money is (working in a safe interest-earning security like Savings Bonds. After ten years, money invested in Savings Bonds increases by one-third. Meanwhile the farm family always has an easily available financial reserve for emergencies. Mr. Brown pointed out farmers are engaged in a risky business and therefore should put their profits in a non-risk investment. Savings Bonds can be purchased in convenient denominations at any bank or post office. MRS. HUFF ENTERTAINS Mrs. Henry Huff entertained at dinner recently at her home, "Mt.

Under such procedure the state meets the cost as a part of her Bang’s Disease Control Program. ¥ * * Regardless whether your ewe flock seems in top shape, give (them an individual dose of phenothiazine this month. Internal parasites can and frequently do cause death when sheep are apparently in the pink of condition. Remember that November is the month to do the dosing individually. * * * Vaccinate pigs as a protection against cholera with Hog Cholera Vaccine sometimes called “Crystal Violet Vaccine.” Since this is a comparatively new product, the following immunization procedure is offered: 1. Colorado Hog Cholera Vaccine was designed for the single purpose of immunizing healthy hogs against the ravage of cholera, before the disease is prevalent. 2. The recommended dosage of all pigs regardless of weight and age is 5 cc. ( 3. Preferably only healthy pigs should be vaccinated two (weeks or more after weaning. Vaccinating suckling pigs is not recommended. 4. Colorado Hog Cholera Vaccine does not possess any curative ■qualities. J*— — 5. Administer the vaccine subcutaneously, preferably under the foreleg, with a 16 * gauge, oneinch needle. Observe all aseptic precautions by applying disinfectant to site of injections and sterilizing all vaccinating equipment. 6. This is a sterile product. Great care was exercised in its production. Exercise simple precautions in administering. 7. Any equipment or clothing formerly used in or around hog cholera virus, or employed in routine vaccination with serum and virus, should not be used when administering Hog Cholera Vaccine, unless such equipment has. been thoroughly sterilized. 8. If regular amounts of hog cholera serum have been given, this vaccine should not be administered until four weeks later, as in such cases a protective immunity may not be established. 9. Duration of immunity is approximately one year. 10. This vaccine does not permanently stain tissue in routine vaccination. 11. Stain resulting from use of the vaccine may be removed from syringes and instruments with alcohol. 12. This product is sold only in conformity with regulations of the state of destination. Since the product can easily ibe administered by unskilled persons _and is comparatively eheap, it is being very readily received by. famers over the nation.

There are duties,,for the patrons, as 'the following re* minders will show. These are excerpts from the , Postal Bulletin, October 26, 1950: “Where weeds along a highway might cause the drifting of snow, postmasters should recommend the removal of the weeds before the beginning of the snow season. At the approach of the winter season, postmasters should inform patrons that' they are expected to see that roads are put in auchi condition after heavy snows that it will be possible for rural carrier* to travel them. “Postmasters should remind patrons that they are required to keep clear the approaches to their mail boxes by promptly removing obstructions, including snow, which render it difficult or impossible for the carrier to deliver mail to the boxes without alighting from his vfehide. “Carriers are not required to perform service on foot when roads cannot be traveled with the conveyances ordinarily used by them, but, they are expected to make every reasonable effort to serve as many of their patrons as possible.” The rural box holder should keep the approach to his mail box . clear and free from all obstructions if he expects delivery service. The Postal Bulletin recommends that the box holder make arrangements to relocate their boxes or make other arrangements to'receive, their mail dining the’ winter weather if the road is not open for the rural mail carrier to drive up to the box. The rural mail carrier has available for the convenience of the rural mail patron a supply of stamps’ahd stamped envelopes.

Turkeys For Every Table In Virginia .... Three turkeys for every house* hold—that’s the story in Virginia this year. D. U. Livermore, poultry mark* eting specialist at VPI says the record-breaking crop of 1,908,000 birds this year places Virginia fifth in the United States in turkey production—and assures plenty of economic eating for everyone. * The 1950 production is more than double the production of ten years ago, and triple that of 20. years ago. Consumers seem to like the idea of plenty of turkey, Livermore says. Per capita consumption has increased from less than two pounds in 1930 to an expeeted 4.6 pounds in 1950. Many housewives, Livermore says, are putting turkey on the table the year around—instead of just on special occasions. The price of turkey this year, the specialist says, will be set by the forces of supply and demand _in the market place, in contrast to last year when government price support was in operation. The lack of price support, and a national supply six percent greater than in 1049 should mean that housewives will find turkey selling at retail at a price which will compare favorably with other meat prices, Livermore says. In general poultry and eggs this year have been selling at or below the 1949 price level, in ontrast to price advances in many other commodities. On the other hand, consumer purchasing power is jat record ley'"' els andt£ the * tdrkey ‘ crop is expected to move from the farm to the consumer’s table under more favorable marketing conditions than would otherwise be the case. FARM WOODLANDS , Many .people have aeen poster*, pamphlets, and other fire prevention advertising material containing a picture of a beir named Smokey. How many realise that there is a bear called Smokey, whose home was destroyed by a forest fire. , Smokey’s home was in the Lincoln National Forest in New Mexico. One day, through someone’s carelessness, a fire was started and seventeen thousand acres of woodland were destroyed. It was during this fire that a couple of fiTe fight* ers found Smokey in a charred and duined area. The pads of his feet had been burned to the bone. Fully recovered from the burns suffered from the fire, Smokey is now living—in tbe National Zoological Park at Washington, D.C. People who see him are reminded to be careful in the woods. One match or a lighted cigarette carelessly tossed into the brush, leaves or grass without being properly extinguished can destroy wildlife and our future timber supply._ Hunting and fall fire season start around the same time of the year. When you are in the woods hunting for game, be careful when smoking. Be sure your cigarett or other lighted tobacco is out before discarding it. Break your match after extinguishing it. Remember only you can prevent forest fires. ENTERTAIN AT BRIDGE Mr. and Mrs. John S.

NEWS FOR VETERANS Due to a flood of new applications for National Service Life Insurance, the Veterans Administration has expanded its insurance service. VA has announced that a new underwriting unit has been set up in the Philadelphia district office. In addition the underwriting service in the central office, Washington, D.C., will be expanded as far as office space and available personnel will permit. The , new applications result (from the Korean conflict and th« stepped up rate of induction into the armed services, VA said, with thousands of new applications being received daily. National Service Life Insur ance, it was stated, is available in amounts ranging from $1,000 to $10,000 to any person entering active duty in the armed forces. Types of policies include low-premium term insurance as well as six permanent plans, including endowments. Among the thousands of new applications reaching VA, many are incomplete, lacking either signatures, health statements or other essential information. VA (warned servicemen that applications can not be honored when they lack essential information! or are not signed 'by the applicant. The agency also warned new applicants to make sure that premiums due before the allotments from service pay become effective, are paid. Unless these precautions are taken, the serviceman may find he is not covered by GI insurance, VA said, even though he authorized deductions from his pay to take care of the premiums. Vtlclallo AUIlllIUSUablVll set up machinery for recovering GI Bill subsistence allowance overpayments from schools which willfully or negligently fail to report veteran-students’ excessive absences, drop-outs or interruptions of training. The machinery, authorized under Public Law 610, applies only in those cases where willful or negligent failure to inform V-A entered the picture at any time after July 13, I960, effective date of the law. In all other cases, VA said, veterans still can be held liable for subsistence overpayments which they receive for periods when they should have been cut off GI training rolls. The fact of a school’s willful or negligent failure to report has to be proved at a hearing before a VA Committee on Waivers before VA can take action to recover the overpayment from the school, VA pointed out. Once that fact has been established, VA can recover the money by (1) offset from amounts otherwise due the school, or (2) direct collection from the school. ‘ VA cited an example of a case in which it might bring its newlycreated machinery into play. It would do so if a school, with a record of repeated failures to furnish information^ or otherwise comply with VA regu^Hbns, again allegedly failed to report a veteran’s excessive absences, discontinuances ~'ot Interruptions. But - ‘ ftrabj vf sciwbf wdulif have a chance to be heard before the Committee oh WaiverA On the other hand, VA would not necessarily take action if the failure to report appeared to be an isolated incident, and the school otherwise had a smoothlyrunning reporting system. |Jnder the law, if a veteran refunds to VA a subsistence overpayment after VA had recovered that amount from a school, VA would be required to return the amount of overpayment to the eehoe^^.tf j :> •*. „ ■>» Statesmanship should quickly Imutb tli« lesson of biology*, a* stated by Conklin, that “woods* 4*H Achievement Week Observed in Virginia The spotlight is on youth this •week as the world’s largest rural youth organization—the 4-H clubs —observes National 4-H Achievement Week,............ The observances began November 4 and are scheduled to last through November 12. Club members number nearly 2,000,000, of which some 53,000 are in Virginia. The enrollment this year in Virginia has shown a substantial increase—about 3,000—over last year. Dr. W. E. Skelton, state club agent at V.P.I., said general purposes of Achievement Week are to: Make a report to the nation on 1950’s accomplishments. See that parents understand what youth is doing through club work. Help 4-H members develop their 1951 plans. Emphasize opportunities afforded rural young people through 4-H clubs. “Earn—Save—Serve,” the theme of the National 4-H thrift program also will be featured on achievement week programs in Virginia, Dr. Skelton said. The program is designated to emphasize the thrift factor already included in the 4-H program. Some of the things club members are urged to do are to invest in U. S. savings bonds, buy life insurance, and establish savings accounts in local banks. FLINT HILL 4-H CLUB Flint Hill 4-H club held its regular monthly meeting November 6 at Flint Hill school, with 28 of the 29 members present. ■ The meeting opened with Dorothy Jane Williams reading a Bible selection.

Never shall our memories fade; A loving thought shall ever wander To the spot where you are laid. If all the world was mine to give; I’d give it, yes, and more To see the .face of my dear boy Come smiling through the door. Your memory is all we have, Your cares are all at rest,, You .will never be forgotten By the ones who loved you best. • Gone but not forgotten, (by his devoted Mother and Brother, Lola C. Bridgett and Carroll Bridgets ltp CARVER H. S. BOY RECEIVES FFA BULL FROM SEARS One of the <S0 registered Hereford bull calves recently donated to the Virginia Association of Future Farmers of America by the Sears Roebuck Foundation, Inc., has been consigned to the Carver Regional High School NFA chapter, it is announced by Overton R. Johnson, vocational agriculture instructor at the school. The chapter in turn has assigned the bull to Clifton Hill, Jr., freshman vocational agriculture student -and O. R. Johnson NFA chapter member. “The O. R. Johnson NFA chapter was elected to receive one of the bulls primarily because of the interest, and efforts of the Carver Regional Vo-ag students and instructor of vocational agriculture to produce better livestock in their community,” says Paul Hounshell, division superintendent of schools. Selection of chapters was made by the state office on the basis of applications showing number of head of livestock in the area served by the school, the need for a purebred sire, and evidence on the part of the students and teacher of vocational agriculture to make most effective use of -a purebred bull. The young bull assigned to Hill, and the other 49 bulls distributed to >FFA and NFA chapters in the state, will be used to up-bred and improve the quality of livestock in the communities in which they are located. “This is not a ‘bullchain’ or purebred livestock project,” Johnson points out. While the young bulls, as soon as they become of breeding age, may be used with purebred beef cows, they will also be used (with grade cows to up-grade beef cattle and produce better veal calves. The bulls came from Mill Iron Ranches in Texas. Covering 130,000 acres and operated on*’* a unique unit system, Mill Iron Ranches is the largest producer of registered Hereferds in the world. J. A. Hardy, Pulaski, and W. C. Dudley, Appomattox area supervisors of vocational agriculture, selected the 50 bulls purchased by Sears Roebuck Foundation, Inc., for the Virginia FFA. The bulla were shipped to Virginia by truck and distributed from Roanoke and Richmond. Young fanner Hill with vo-ag instructor Johnson selected the O. R. Johnson chapter bull from the Richmond lot of 25. They were accompanied by the president of the Madison* County Agricultural Advisory Council,'James Walker; Clifton Hill, father of the boy to whom the bull was assigned, and * John Francis, treasurer of th)e UFA chapter. On assumption that business prospers when agriculture prospers, the Sears Roebuck Foundation. donated the bulls to the FFA as a means-of increasing farm income from livestock.

So far the first time there appears to be a reasonable hope that within the next half century America’s dead chestnut forests may be restored. Beureau of Plant Industry experts now are repeating, wherever they drive along country roads in the East, the methods of Johnny Appleseed—distributing at likely farmhouses seed chestnuts of the new variety and asking that they be planted. Up to now the struggle for restoration of the chestnut has been discouraging. About 30 y jars ago the great blight, starting irom « New York City park, swept northward and southward along the Appalachians. Within a decade only ghost forests remained. The mountainsides werte covered with dead white trunks. The blight came'from Asia. The only countermove possible was to introduce Chinese and Japanese varieties resistant to the disease With the hope that one or more of them would fit into soil and climatic conditions of North America and would yield nuts and lumber of a quality as good as the native variety. v : v ' Several score Varieties have been introduced. None, up to now, has proved very satisfactory. The new chestnut was in a lot brought in from China about 60 years ago. It seemed to have no par t ie u la|^ .premia e. Lately, however, it has proved by far the most adaptable of all. It grows rapidly, advancing from the seed to the nut-bearing stage in about ten years. The nuts have a flavor very nearly equal to that of the native chestnuts. The timber is of excellent quality. The yield of tannin for the leather industry is quite high._*An experimental plot is being maintained in the George Washington National Forest near Roanoke. There on a sunlit hillside, the new chestnut is planted among a wide variety of other chestnuts —and easily has out-stripped all. Everywhere it has proved to be blight-resistant. It is vigorous, a hea\y nut bearer, and entirely able to fend for itself in competion with other trees. It is, however, by no means a duplicate of the dead American chestnut. It does best in sheltered mountain hollows, rather than on mountainsides and crests. Hope has by no means been given up for an even better variety that may turn up among the imports. There still are probably scores of unknown species in the wyest China mountains, but that region now is closed tos^.merican plant explorers.

B™__ _ Homemaker’s items What do you do with a }eftover glove when its mate is lost —-or a lone stocking after the other has been rained by a ran or tear—or even a solitary over- ; shoe? Clothing specialists say don’t throw those things away. They may oe used to save money and clothes. Good leather from a stray glove ( is useful in trimming or strength^ ening children’s winter mittens or gloves, or it may be used for elbow patches on jackets and play coats. It may bind edges of sleeves or jackets that get hard wear. Bits of good leather may cover buttons for sports jackets. The left-over stocking or sock needn’t go to waste. Yarn from it may come in handy for mending. Ravel the yarn and wind on spools for the mending basket. A good piece of rubber fabric often is needed to patch a child’s overshoe—and a stray can provide it. Tale-bearers are as bad as tale- *, makers.—Sheridan Um NEWS CloMifiod Ad.
