WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1950 $2.00 Per Year Isaac Be*hm Elected Legion Post Adjutant # The American Legion met Tuesday night, December 12, with Isaac Beahm elected adjutant of the Rappahannock Post No. 245. The poet voted to give the P.« T.A. of Spenrjnrille School #10 to apply to the cost of a flag polo upon its installation. ■'I; The nest meeting of the post will be held Tuesday, January 2, 1951, at 7:00 p.m. at the V.P.W. hall in Sperryville. .■■;v|aVaffic Lights Can Be Hassirds The famiHar stop-and-go light la one of the most misunderstood of all traffic control devices. ■ This opinion was expressed recently by traffic engineers of the State Highway Department. qAlmost daily, they said, the dopertinent's mail brings a demand for the installation of a stop-andgo light. Moat of the letters come from resident* of towns and small communities where the state maintains the streets, or from thicklysettled areas along the highways. Generally, they shape up something like this: v f "Are yon going to wait until someone la Irfflett before you do aomethtngt** In many inetancca, state trail te anfinaara explain ad, installation «f the requested lights would in* eraasa tha likelihood of “someone gatting killed." Traffic signals aftai increase rather than da* , crease tha number of accidents. They pointed to a recent study * of of 20 signalised intersections In various sections of the state. Bines the lights ware installed, traffic at these points has increased an average of 26 par cant—but the number of accidents has iar creased 46 per cent. ' They found further evidence in n study of accident experience over the past 16 years in Philadelphia and Wilmington, Del In these cities, the accident hasard at signalised intersections was - eight times as great as at inter* . sections where Aero arm-a**lights. Does this mean that tha stopand-go light should be abandoned as a traffic control measure f Definitely not, say tha engineers. Where certain conditions eorist, traffic lights greatly increase the vehicular capacity of a street or Intersection. . i In short, the primary benefit of § stop-and-go light is facilitating traffic. However, if traffic vol ume does not average arouna <ov Vehicles por hoar, a stop-and-go light Is likely to delay rather tha« to speed the flow of traffic. Why does a etop-and-go light; tend to increase the number of accidents? Engineers pointed to a number of reasons—-most of them based on the human factor. Too many motorists, they said, place a 100 per cent faith in the uroteetion afforded by a green light. AH too often, another driver nuns through a red light and; crashes into the ▼Chide which has the green signal. _ Many motorists are inctinad to “step on the gas” in an effort to make a green light before it changes. Moving at a high speed, sometimes they can’t stop the light turns red. And if they stop quickly, they are likely to be ,y struck from behind by a following motorist. Lights, too, frequently increase the hazard to pedestrians, simply because the pedestrian often ignores a red light. For these reasons, all reuests for traffic lights are carefully) screened before a light is installed. Studies are made to determine the number of vehicles qpd pedestrians entering an intersection, the vehicle turning movements *nd other technical factors.* Often, such a survey indicates that a traffic light would do more harm than good, and its installation is denied. Not, engineer* emphasized, because they «re waiting ‘‘until someone is killed,” but because the light actually might increase the changes of a fatal accident—to say nothing of creating dxtra delay, and inconvenience for a whole lot of motorists. ; Wright Farm Sold To Dr. W.

Jump Predicted In Virginia Draft Calls • Substantial increases in Virginia’s draft calls for January and February appeared imminent following boosts in the national induction demands for both of these two coming months, according to a dispatch from Richmond Tuesday. The government raised its January draft call from 40,000 to 80,000 men and its February call from 00,000 to 80,000 men. _ State Selective Service faea& quarters said Tuesday it bad received no orders increasing tha state’s calls bat indicated they could be expected in view of thehike in the national call. Virginia already has a January sail for 871 non and another for 1,081 non in February. On the basis of previous manpower do* stands, the January call probably will bo" doubled while the February call would bo increased by approximately 088. This would make Virginia's January call about 1,748 men and the February call about 1,885 on the basis of unofficial estimates. On Sunday, State Selective Service headquarters almost tripled the state’s December physical examination call, adding 8,080 men to the 1,586 already on call for pre-induetior exams in December. CAPT.

If the envelope Is addressed to the Rappahannock Tuberculosis Association, that brief moment may help save a life. Some of ns may have neglected to take that moment to acknowledge our Christmas Seals when we received them in oar mail recently. It is easy to pat something like this aside during the busy pre-Christmas days. But it is not too late to take.a moment off to make oar return for the Seals. Funds realised from the sale of Christmas Seals are the sole financial support of the association in its work to bring tuberculosis under complete control in our community. A vigorous effort during 1951 to carry on the activities of this organization may make the difference between life and death to some of our residents. Surely no one of us will want to slow down that effort. It will take but a moment to tell the association we are back of its year-round life-saving program; only a second to acknowledge our Christmas Seal Letter.

Thirty-nine bushels of the new Andrew Spring oat are available for the first time to Rappahannock fanners below market price through your county agent. Seeds of proven production superiority as discovered are made available in this manner to insure state-wide distribution of initial stock and in order to afford quicker availability to other farmers of a convenient source of seed. Any farmer getting a part of this original allocation of Andrew Oats agrees to plant for seed production. This new variety was first entered in the Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station’s spring oat varietal tests in 1948, and since . that time has given outstanding performance. In the Piedmont area it has averaged 10 bushels per acre higher than Clinton or Benton. At Orange the three year average per acre yield was 01.9 ' bushels. Andrew Is a selection from • crow of Bond X Rainbow and was developed bjr the Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station and released to farmers in that State in 1949. For maximum yields plant Andrew variety as early in the spiiac •» possible. While it is resistant te smut sad to Helminthospoium blight it is still a good idea to treat the seed with New * Improved Cedtssn or Cereean M following directions on the can. Rappahannock fanners who wish to get some Andrew Oats at the special price of 92.25 per bushel should contact this office at once. .* * • hundred and twenty Rappahannock and Madison orchardmen attended the apple and peach pruning demonstrations held last Friday at the J. G. Revereomb and V..D. Wood orchards and the general discussion held at the court house that evening. While many of our orchardists were conspicuous by their absence, it was gratifying to see the number of orchard workers present. High lights of the evening discussion were: i (A) Mouse Control: Seemingly there are more mice this year with possibly the exception of where parathion wss used. Use one teaspoon sine phosphide to three medium sited apples cubed vo i cu. mca. wnen Dsiung w not tramp down run ways. Concentration station method is very good. . . . use slabe or boards. Practice mice control every year. Bait at beginning of good weather, putting out bait only in the morning of a warm day. In extreme problems with mice change off to strychnine periodically. Use of hogs not as good control as sine phosphide. Runways the size of two fingers that are also deep indicate pine mice which do the most damage while shallow runways teh size of theree ringers indicate meadow mice. When using poison grain place one teaspoon full at each station. One can of zinc phosphide will make enough bait to treat five acres. Prepare fresh bait every day and bait at monthly intervals. Pruning. Plant one year old whipe . . . they can be more easily trained. The spread between main branches should be 12 inches to 14 inches and the first lime 18 inches to 20 inches from the surface.

annock News FobHshed 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 {Senator Byrd Paints Dark Picture of Conditions In a talk before a group in Culpeper Monday night, Senator Harry F. Byrd painted a dark picture of our country’s present condition and advocated—or reiterated —a strong nation at home as the beet policy toward world peace. Virginia’s Senior Senator deplored the astronomical figure of the national debt and begged, again, for economy. He expressed a hope to see three measures of defense; a radar screen around the United States, universal military training, and a strong army, at home. Socialised medicine, agricultu1*1 psradies and the Brannon plan,' as Usual, meet1 his ‘Strongj disfavor. With his usual plea for private enterprise, the. Senator listed Antprica’s powar’ to produce as one of her strongest weapons in defense, for he said the world—and communism— had seen twice what the nation’s ability to produce could mean in time of war. :_. the senator had telephoned that duties of a busy day would make thim a little late for the scheduled € :80 o’clock dinner. A local citizen recalled a former* visit of Byrd to Culpeper at the time of the dedication of the Municipal Building, when the present Senator was Governor of Virginia. At that time, also, he was late. A Culpeper man, busy with the occasion, /was trying to keep everything in order. “Everybody’s here and they axe ready to take pictures,” he exclaimed, “now, where in the b—’a the Governor?” And at hia elbow, in a quiet voice, came the reply, “Here I am, sir.” senator Byrd, in his talk Monday night, made some reference to a remark once made about there being “too many ‘birds’ in the Senate.” The Senator should know that from Washington, Va., to Washington, D.C., the man who made that remark received a slingshot. A 10-year-old future voter of “The First Washington” made the sling-ehot and mailed it to the White House. His accompanying suggestion was that the slingshot seemed the only way to kill Virginia-'Birds’, since votes were far from fatal. Soil Saver Notes By L. B. Hearetty Thirteen Culpeper county farmers have organized a game preserve designed specifically to increase the bird population on their farms. This is the first organization of ite kind to come into being in Culpeper county, although other farmer groups are getting under way. All of the farms join making up a large block of approximately 6500 acres. The area is bounded roughly by the Brandy* Alanthus road, the Northern boundary of Brandy Rock Farm, the Hazel River and Highways 675 and 677 extending from Elkwood to the Hazel River and U.S. Highway 29 from Elkwood to Brandy. The group participating in the project includes: James Broyles, Hubert Burke, Roger Button, R. A. Bickers, J. M. Dyer, ^Philip Jackson, Beauregard Farm,"'ll. W. Pound, Turner Ratrie, W. A. Spillman, Brandy Rock Farm, Felix Swan and Francis Yancey. The major steps are being taken by the group to— (A) Prohibit'hunting with gun or dogs for a period of several years. (B) Provide cover and feed to encourage wildlife. (C) Re-stock birds wherever possible. The Culpeper Soil Conservation District and the Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries will render full co-operation to the newly organized group. Plants and seed for establishing) food patches as well as technical assistance will be available through the district. The Game Commission will provide technical assistance and law enforcement officers to protect the rights of the preserve. Any trespassers will be prosecuted under the law. The district encourages this type of organization among farm groups. The low game population can be greatly increased if farmers will co-operate in such a program. Time Hm Com#,* j the Wilrw itid • • • | s aifmmtMMM Hnimmnwi Letterwriting seems to be a favorite topic of conversation these days. All this discussion of letters can bring to mind many things, including the old parody all of us heard as kids: Lives of great men all remind us As the pages we o’erturn, We are apt to leave behind us Letters that we ought to burn. Or another turn of the discussion of letter-writing may go to the elderly fellow who tried to apologize for a foolish letter written by his child. “The trouble is,” said the father, “they teach ’em how to write but don’t teach ’em what to write.” The father’s statement is applicable in a number of cases.

Light-Weight Cattle Production Expected In Virginia A quickened trend in Virginia toward production of light weight cattle probably will result from the revision .of Federal grade standards for steer, heifer and cow carcasses recently announced by the Production and Marketing Administration, according to a prediction by Curtis C. Mast, associate animal husbandman at V.P.L Mast says there has been a gradual shift in Virginia from producing three-year-old to produc- . ing two-year-old grass-1 fed cattle for several years. Now, however, the trend is expected to become more pronounced. The higher-quality young beef currently is graded “commercial.” Under the new set-up it will fall into the “good" grade, and as such is expected to be in greater demand, Mast says. The new classification probably will ease the Virginia producer’s dissatisfaction over present grading for young beef, but there’s little chance of its helping heavy cattle, Mast predicts. Briefly the revision includes combining the present prime and choice beef grades under the name prime, renaming the present good grade as choice, and setting up a new grade to be called good which will consist of-beef from the higher quality young cattle now graded commercial. Beef from older cattle will continue to be graded commercial. Mast explains that the new "choice” beef is that which bps been most desired by the housewife, even though heretofore it has been graded "good.” ENTERTAIN AT HAMPDEN HALL Mr. and Mrs. Wade H.

Leigh THE colorful country of our West now calls to many minds a land of oil-field riches, but the old West before the days of the derrick, is perpetuated in the paintings of W. R. Leigh, America's much loved painter of “Westerns.” Cowboys, horses and Indians are vividly depicted by Leigh in action which* this artist, a descendant of Pocahontas who has spent much of his life in faraway places, knows like “nobody’s business.” Probably every man, woman and youth who feels the excite I ment of the original Western scene will thrill to see the story and reproductions of some of these paintings in full color in November 11th Collier's. Leigh is to have two 1950-51 exhibitions in New York this winter at the Grand Central Art Galleries. If you write to his wife, who is the founder of the Traphagen School of Art at 1680 Broadway, New York, she will send you the dates, when they are announced, and invitations to the exhibits, for she is also one of her husband’s most enthusiastic fans.

Pennock, Jr. Trees are just like people; we must have young trees to take the place of those ready to be cut because of maturity. Trees have many enemies which cause them to die to be deformed, dr to prevent the establishment of timber growth. Many people do not realize that cattle are one of the main enemies of a farm woodland. The author takes this viewpoint because during his traveling throughout the county he continually see* cattle being permitted to graze within the various timber areas.' When livestock graze within a Wooded area, they are inclined to destroy or deform young seedlings by eating the leaves and tender shoots. They-also destroy the rich mulch m leavts and humus on the forest floor which provides the necessary food for satisfactory timber growth. v^aiue are not omy narmiui to young trees but they also injure, the older timber growth with their, hoofs. The life of a tree may b4T shortened considerably as a r^ suit from such injuries. The s6il within a iwoodland. which mi allowed to be grazed,” becomes hard and dry. Such a; soil condition is unfavorable for the establishment of future timber, growth. As a result, after the present trees on the area are mature and should be cut, there will, be nothing to take their place. J Grazing destroys your woodlands and cattle receive very little food value from the forest. If. the livestock must have a little protection from the weather, use. only a small portion of your timber area for this purpose. *'•. Men Needed For Va. State Police Force £ The present international situation has produced a shortage of manpower which has prevented filling of new positions authorized the State Police by the 1950 General Assembly. In addition, selective service is depleting the existing ranks. Suitable police officers in sufficient number are vitally necessary to curb our alarming rate of traffic deaths. With our rapidly rising traffic volumes, it is most desirable that the l>epartment be maintained at the fullest possible strength. It is felt that citizens who have evinced an interest in the important matter of traffic safety can strike no better blow than to interest or sponsor suitable young men in a police career. At present 93 positions are vacant. Minimum requirements are resedlnce in Virginia for six months, willingness to serve anywhere in the Commonwealth, a high school education or its equivalent, suitable physical condition and prop er moral quaun cations. Starting: salary, beginning immediately upon appointment, is <$2,662 with merit increases bringing it to $3,336 for a trooper. In addition, uniforms and equipment are furnished and certain expenses are paid. Promotion, of course, brings additional pay. Full information as to requirements and application blanks are available from the Department of State Police, Box 1299, Richmond, Virginia. Gov. Battle Emphasizes Care in Holiday Driving In an effort to reduce the shocking toll of traffic deaths which usually comes with - December, Governor John S. Battle called upon all citizens of the Commonwealth to Obey the Golden Rule in their Wdrivinsr'anfr Walking number of homes desolated by holiday traffic' accidents may be kept to the minimum "December is almost invariably the month seeing our highest number of traffic deaths with the Christmas-New Year period the most dangerous," Governor Battle said, "and nothing could be more beneficial to the safety of our people than adherence to the true spirit of the season in our traffic manners. “As Governor of Virginia and Chairman of our Highway Safety Comanitteefl I urge wholehearted co-operation in the voluntary obedience of traffic laws and in considering the rights of others with - whom we slums our streets and Wghwaga. ’ "Last December there were 8S traffic death* In Virginia, with aim occurring on Christmas Era a, and nearly 2,000 injuries. I hope all will be mindful of the tragedy brought to the home* of these victims, their friends and relatives, and will reaohre to make every effort by careful driving and walking to avoid being involved in a traffic mishap.” BROCCOLI VARIETIES SHORT PROMISE At TECH " ■> Two varieties of broccoli under test at Virginia Experiment Station are snowing promise of becoming leaders.

Corporation Commission Warn on Stock Purchases "A state-wide newspaper and radio campaign is to be employed by the State Corporation Commission to educate the people in Virginia against buying mining and oil stocks offered them from Ontario, Canada,” says William C. King, director of the securities division in Richmond., “Haavy^ losses have been suffered by Virginians who have been taken in by Ontario brokers through the use of the mails, telephone and telegraph, and many,” says Mr. King, “stand to lose their Christ* mas savings by sending it to Can' ada in exchange for worthless securities. ’‘Unscrupulous stock brokers in Ontario are flooding the United States mails, and Virginia citizens are receiving circulars urging them to purchase stocks. The Ontario peddlers are making a desperate effort to high pressure our citizens to purchase their securities, all of which are unlicensed and unlawful in this state. “The prices of these stocks are usually from 30c to &5c per share. Everyone has the urge to make money, and when the unsuspecting citizen receives letters telling him how he might make a fortune, unless he is on his guard, 'he is very likely to send some of his hard-earned dollars to purchase some of the stock. It is conservatively estimate dthat hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash are lost by Virginians in this class of securities. “These Ontario brokers realize that they can’s sell their securities at home or through reputable stock brokers in this state. They know that people of means throw such trash in the waste basket. Therefore, they make up their mailing lists of low income citizens who can ill afford to lose a dollar but who need to snails some extra money. Then through high pressure literature, telephone calls and telegrams they persuade our citizens to purchase shares of this stock. He is told that he has to invest only $30 or $50 or $150 and that he stands a good chance of making a fortune.* “The unsuspecting victim is usually told of other Canadian mining stocks that have increased in price and they furnish so-called examples of fortunes made by in VitAumH fylaw&i EUop Page Theatre Building VIVIAN R. BLACK Phone 480 Luray, Va. vestors in cheap stocks. However, the fact remains that they have as yet to five the name of a single Virginian who cashed in on any sach opportunity. Aa a matter of fact, there are no instances what* soever in the flies of the State Corporation Commission where any Virginian ever made money by investing in Qenadian mail order securities. They have all been a total loss," says King. State Corporation' Com* mission wants to impress upon the citizens of Virginia that Canadian stock broken are not licensed to sell stocks in this state and that they all operate unlawfully when they do so. The Commission strongly warns against investing a single dollar in Canadian mail order securities. It is well to remember that if the stocks were one-tenth as valuable as advertised they would never be offered to people in Virginia. They would be kept in Canada for investment by their^own citizens. Why should Canadian broken want to make Virginia citizens wealthy when they could save that wealth for themselves? ' “It is better to be safe than to be sorry, and once your money Is gone it is impossible to get it back. There are many reliablebroken and dealers in Virginia and once again the investing public is warned not to invest its money, no matter how little, until you have consulted a licensed'' dealer ot banker." All who receive Canadian cir— culars are urged to send them to William C. iKng, director, Securities Division, State Corporation' Commission, Richmond.
