New* Mores Machinery To New Building | The presses start rollibgiomor*ow at the corner of Main and Middle streets in Washington-:— rolling down to the new location, of the printing office on Main, street, next to Watts’ Barber and Beauty Shop, across hte street from the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wade H. Massie, Jr. The new building is located on Lot No. 1<3, according to the map of the town of Washington, which, was surveyed by “The Father of Our Country” (until someoab proves he didn’t). In a proud place on the wall of the new office will hang a framed copy of the map of the town, presented to Rappahannock News by F. Clyde Baggarly. The new building, of cinderblocjc construction, was built by Paul A. Walker, local contractor. It is fireproof throughout, with concrete floor and steel sash windows. The new location will have no more actual square-foot spece than is in the present location, but the arrangement is much better for a printing shop and office. The present location, on the corner, was formerly a residence and was also the location of the Cherry Tree and Hatchet, famous restaurant. What made very convenient quarters for a restaurant was not so convenient for a printing plant. The new building of the printing plant was built to fit the machinery and add to easy working conditions for a printer. -Sometime during Friday the phone will be disconnected and moved to the new office. If you wish to get a message to the News office during that time, eithjer Payne Motor Co. or Merrill Motor Co, will deliver it by calling across the street and catching one of the printers “on the mov^.” The printers are dreading the >f the moving liKe a good of tne toothache! The machinery is awkward and heavy. Solne of it is top-heavy, and some is -just plain heavy. Superman would be a welcome guest at Rappahannock News this week end.

-Rappahannock News _%.***• ' t- «V, • •' • * * Published Thursday Morning at s’ Washington, Rappahannock County, ’Virginia « ■ Dial Washington 2851 ■* LUCY CATHERINE BOWIE 7. Publisher Entered as second-class mail matter at the post office at Washington, Virginia. Subscription:__ $2.00 a year Mush Bums If You Don't Stir It Pierce Munsey of Denver, Colorado, recently retired after 40 years of the printing trade, having begun as apprentice printer and punctuated his printing career as reporter, editor, advertising manager, and publisher. Mr. Munsey still keeps his hand in the business as a frequent contributor to his home-town paper. “Remember mush will burn if you don’t stir it,” the veteran editor warns and he sees “the community without a newspaper which keeps things moving, gradually decaying.” The elderly editor gave all newspapers in general, and the weeklies in particular, a sound rolling-over-th e-coale for failing to keep communities what be call-,, ed “stirred up to accomplishing something.” No one argues with the gentleman. He has lived long enough to know more than the rest of us without his years. "The newspaper has a moral obligation to the community, and h is not to be published merely to make its owner a living. Beyond the news it ghes the paper owes ‘a fair and careful analysis’ of news that may affect tne community welfare,” Mr. Munsey declares. This justifies the editorial, be continues, and requires that the editor nave an open mind and ‘guts’—following public opinion when it is right and opposing it when it is wrong. The old gentleman is probably right. However, he is throwing a lot of responsibility on the shoulders of the newspaper in the community when some of the responsibility should be cast upon the organizations, the churches, homes and individuals. The newspaper is willing to take its share. i qere are no New Years resolutions for the paper to make. The f paper has stated, and will •bide by it, that its share of responsibilities will be undertaken. As for editoriarpolicies: they vary with conditions. If a situation is delicate and controversial, and the paper can see no way that active participation will be of any value, then the subject is dead as far as the paper is concerned. We don’t back down from a fight; we just see no reason to poke our noses into a fight that is of no • concern to the county’s good. The paper feels that it would rather be called on to help—any way it can—with projects for the good of the county by organizations' working in the county. Editorially, the paper wishes the old printer had not used the exact words he did. “Mush bums if you don’t stir it.” Sometimes you can get burned stirring, too. Captain Leta Frank, of Camp Lee and Mr. and Mrs. Warren Frank, of Luray, were guests on Christmas Day of Mrs. George Settle, at her home “Locust Grqve”. K “Twas The Night ^ After Christmas” t$&v., <8y Hw*»b K»r) | , ’Twas the night after Christmas, and boy what * house! I felt like the devil, and so did the; Spouse. ' .v-‘' Vw . The eggnog and turkey and candy were swell, But ten hours later they sure gave me hell. The stocking wern’t hung by the chimney with care, \ The darn things were sprawled on the back of a chair." The children were nestled al] snug in their bed, But I had a large cake of ice on my head. And when I finally dozed off in a nap, The ice cake woke me up when it fell in my lap. Then for some unknown reason, I wanted a drink, So I started in feeling my way to the sink. I got along fine tilt I stepped on the cat, I don’t recall just what occured after that. When I came to the house was all 4 flooded with light, Although under the table, I’m as high as a kite. While visions of sugar plums danced in my head, I somehow got up and then back into bed. Then what to my wandering mind . should appear, But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer. The sleigh seemed to change to a red fire truck And each reindeer turned into a teieary-eyed buck. I knew in a moment it must be old Kki, And I tried to cry out but my tongue was too thick. Then the old devil whistled and Shouted with glee While the bucks pawed the earth ana looked daggers at me. Ties he called them by name, and the names made me shudder, When I heard them I felt like a ship minus rudder. Now Egg-nog, Bacardi, Four Roses and Brandy, Now Fruit Cake, Cold Turkey, Clin Rickey and Candy. To the tip of his dome, to the top of his skull, Now whack away, crack away with thumps that are dull. Then in a twinkling I felt on my roof The prancing and pawing of each cloven hoof. How long this went on I’m sure I can’t say. But it seemed like eternity, plus a long day. • Bur finally the night after Christmas had passed And I found I really could think good at last. So I thought of the New Year, a few days away And I’ve made me a Vow that no tempter can sway. I'm sticking to water, don’t even want ice For there’s nothing as tasty and and nothing as nice. The night after New Year’s may bother some guys But I’ve learned my lesson, and Brother, I’m wise. You can have all your victuals, and liquor that’s red But what goes to my stomach won’t go to my head. So a Big Happy New Year to you and to all, I’m back on the wagon and I hope I don’t fall. Mrs. Russell Wood and Miss Ruth Stevens had as their guests Sunday Mr. and Mrs. Bob Miller of Culpeper and Mrs. Lucy Wood. Good luck to you and. yours —and all things you want • in full measure for 1951 CULPEPER PLANING MILL Culpeper, Virginia Jr y . *• made here. The old’ Walrus learn* ed al-too-many years ago that it's just so much wasted time. Resolutions aren’t just broken—they are busted. Now the use of words is odd. It’s like the young school-boy who announced belligerently, “I ain’t got no pencil!” * ' “Why, Arthur, you know better than that,” said his teacher. “You should say, “I haven’t a pencil.” “Yes’m, jbut that air/t it. I had a pencil just a minute ago and now I ain’t got one.” Along this same line of thought in the careful use of language, it is appropriate to say that New Year’s resolutions are not broken, they are busted. Bemoan not your lot. You may think you have troubles, but one of the country’s most unhappy men was a visitor in the News office Tuesday afternoon. He was among the Unfortunates chosen to act as judge in the door-decoration contest at the county seat. He knew that he could name some dozen-or-so other things he would rather be doing instead of riding around in tlfe cold looking 'at decorated doors. He realized it was an honor to have been selected as one of the judges. He was well aware of the fast that, not having been an avid reader of House Beautiful magazines of the like, he was hardly informed up to the minute on what is considered the “best” in doorway accoutrements. But all this was not the reason for his doleful and apprehensive mug —his face was that of his Cocker Spaniel in cheerfulness. “It’s those that don’t win the prize,” he , moaned. “I can’t hope to pick the one that people think should win. I’ll just have to pick the one I like the looks of, and you know what will be said. ‘Why in the world did that one win? Mrs. Soand so’s was much prettier!” Sir, you have my deepest sympathies. I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I hope all your troubles are little ones. I’ll baby-sit for you. I’ll wash dishes and scrub floors. I’ll carry out the ashes, wind the cat and put out the clock, but, Mister, you can have your job of judging the door decorations! The ladied Axed those doors up, each according to her tastes, and each one knows that she should have the first prize. Oh, no, sir. You may have your job; I’ve got troubles enough as it is. Christmas stories may come and go but methinks I’ll always cherish the one about the four-year-old who labored daily to learn her part in the Sunday School pageant. The part, a prayer, was a little hard for the child to understand and she had no little difficulty mastering it. The night before the pageant, “One more time, dear”. Little Gracie again patiently stumbled over the prayer to her attentive mother—who, satisfied, went back to the kitchen. Uncle Cap, driven frantic by the unceasing chant and by pride in his niece’s oratory abilities pitched down his “Esquire” and called the child to him. At the Sunday School pageant, Mom and pop beamed in the front row as Gracie, angelic in a white dress, stepped forward, folded her hands and bowed her head. Her childish voice broke through the hush in the closing prayer: “Christmas comes but once a year Apple Jack and ’Simmon beer If I get drunk, I don’t keer Cause Christmas comes but once a year.” (Evidently Uncle Cap patronized a different Sunday School).

Miller were dinner guests Christmas Day of Mr. and MrS. Charles Bowersett. at their home in Laurel, Md. Late at night in late December a long time ago, a man stepped off a train in d strange town. It was New Year’s Eve and he was sad for he was far from home. He: thought of his friends gathered together so rriany miles away and he was sadder still. There were no cabs, so picking up his heavy bag, he began to walk the few blocks to his hotel. As he reached the court house square he heard the bell in the tower still vibrating from the last stroke of midnight. It was one minute past twelve. * - Vr “Happy New Year,” said an old man who was locking up a shop. “Happy New Year to you,” the traveler replied. “But you are not happy,” said the old man. “No,” answered the traveler, “I am not happy. It is one minute past twelve and I am a year nearer the grave. Time moves faster and faster and a man can never catch it. I must even travel on business on the New Year.” And the traveler shed a tear in self-pity. “Time does not move,” said the old man. “We move through time. But we generally move in the wrong direction.” The old man put the key in his pocket. “What do you do to move in the nght direction?” he asked. “Why,” said the traveler, “I support my family.” “So does a robin, and sings besides,” the old' man said. “The way to move in the right direction is to act always as if this were to be your last day on earth.” And the old man was gone. The traveler picked up his heavy bag and walked on. Presently he met a shivering man who asked for the price of a cup of coffee. As the traveler reached in his pocket he remembered what the old man had said. So he asked the shivering man to go with him to an all-night restaurant and he bought him a roast beef dinner. And when he left he felt better. Around the comer the traveler met an old woman sellmg flowers- on the street. “Buy my flowers,” she called, but few bought. The traveler bought aU her flowers and gently pinned them in a big Bi\nch.fev the old wcftsasi’s And his.bagfelt so light that he almost skipped as he crossed a.n o^anage and put a ten dollar bill in the mail slot. All night long the traveler walked the streets of the strange town. He found a policeman for a little boy who was loSt. He helped a cab driver change a tire-. He helped a scrubwoman wash the floor at the bus station. He bought coffee for some firemen Who were putting out a fire. And after a long time he went to his hotel, feeling very happy, and very young. Just before he got into bed he walked to the window to look over the town that was no longer strange. And as the traveler saw the court house tower in the square, he suddenly realized what the old man had meant. ■■■ “-y**"' .»:■ fSi i ■ ■■ -J ■ -i 1 • - v ' hands of the clock in the court house 0 m$y minute past twelve.
