Wmmm VA. BUXts Libmj WclimOBd.lt. VOL. 2—NO. 10. WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, i,\K 5 1951 THURSDAY, JANUARY 4,. 1951 $9 HO Pnt* Vaoh -• * V ■ " • • ••-.. V. '■ • Co-operation Assures Rappahannock Location Of Supuner Music Camp , ' The Virginia State Orchestra Guild, through its director, has chosen Rappahannock county over other contenders to be the summer music center anfi summer borne of the state organization. The scenery of the eounty, its natural setting for a music center, nearness to Washington, D. C., and the reception given by the people to the director, William Haaker, and Mrs. Haaker, were >•' factors leading to the decision. . I This decision is based on the assumption that music lovers and civic-minded citizens of the county will give definite assurance immediately that a very modest amount of money will be provided through contributions and memberships to pay the expenses of v bringing to Rappahannock firstclass musicians to offer at least three quality concerts during the summer. The minimum required is said to be $600, the maximum $1500. This money is to be handled by a local treasurer and Rappahannock people are to have a voice in deciding the kind of ;‘i concerts to be given. The more membership tickets that can be •old, the better the concerts that can be provided. AH overhead expenses, including professional direction of concerto and teaching of music will be covered by the state organisation. Those who have met Mr. and Mrs. Haaker have been impressed with their sincerity, and those! who have heard Mr. Haaker in concert performance at Culpeper, recognize hie high quality as a trained musician. He is director of the Richmond Symphony as well as of the state orchestra. As soon as definite assurance of tho necessary funds is placed in the hands of the director, steps will be taken to form a county chapter of the state guild and arrangements made for the accommodation of the concerts, hoepi-4 tality to the visiting musicians, living quarters for the director! and his wife and for the music students, as well as other details. With the enthusiastic interest expressed by numerous citizens and the endorsement of organizations and business men, there should be no difficulty in securing the necessary funds and perfecting a strong organization to guide and support the interesting project. Those who are interested in the development that may mean much to Rappahannock county are^ invited to express themselves in*the .newspaper and to bear in mind (that a very important meeting to bring the matter to a satisfactory conclusion will be held Monday evening, January 15. The place of meeting will be announced next week. Mr. Haaker is planning to be present at this meeting. While in the county a few days sgo, Mr. Haaker made clear the objective of the new plan by this statement: “The object is to establish and operate a non-profit summer music center and summer headquarters of the State Orchestra of Virginia, in which qualified musicians will teach music to students over a period of three to six weeks each summer, and at least three high-grade concerts will be given for the public.” It is stated that Rappahannock is indeed fortunate. This is seen as an opportunity for the county, to obtain benefits and opportune ties offered to few places in the entire nation. > Engagement Announced *- Mr. and Mrs. James Minor Settle of Flint Hill have announce the engagement and approach^ 'M. .'JEW**- woghtwy Bowersette, son of Mr. and Mrs. fi. F. Bowersette of Laurel, Maryland. Miss Settle was graduated from Warren County High School, Front iRoyal, in the class of 1947 and attended the College of William and Mary, Williamsburg, in her freshman year. She is now* a Senior at University of Maryland, majoring in education Mr. Bowersette was graduated from Washington High School, Washington, Virginia, and attended Virginia Polytechnic Institute, Blacksburg. He is now a senior at Maryland University and will receive his degree in animal hup-’ bandry. , The wedding will»take place February 3, after which the couple «riU reside in College Park, Maryland.

Legion Begins Campaign Of “Tide of Toys” American Legion Post No 245 of Rappahannock is opening its drive foe serviceable toys for “Tide of Toys’* campaign. This drive was begun at the meeting Tuesday night. The Legion usually meets the second Tuesday in the month, but the date was set ahead this time in order to get the toy drive in motion. This “Tide of Toys" campaign, with Bing Crosby as national honorary chairman, is a program of the American Legion to furnish toys te the “no-have” children of war-torn countries. Each child in America is asked to bring a toy, wrapped well, and with a card attached giving name, age, and address of the giver. It is hoped that this will stimulate correspondence with the child in some foreign country who receives the gift toy. Chairmen in Rappahannock, to be contacted, are Lyle Rector in Flint Hill, E. M. Jones in Washington, and W. H. Lyne, Sperryville. They can tell where the wrapped and tagged toys are to be collected. An additional piece of business of the American Legion meeting Tuesday night was the' decision to purchase five “Drive Carefully) Protect Our Children” signs to bet placed at approaches where cnildi ren are subject to auto hazaras. Legion members stated that they knew many places where such signs were needed, and as funds ' were available, more would bet put up. Anyone who wishes to contribute to the purchase of extra signs, will find their donations welcome. $215 Needed For County (Mobile Dental Clinic |430 of the necessary funds •re on hand for the mobile dental unit to visit Rappahannock schools, both white and colored, to Ax children’s teeth at a minimum coat. 3213 ia the, .amount lacking and this must be raised before the unit arrives. A schedule is already set for the mobile unit to be in Rappahannock during the months of March, April, and May. It has been impossible to secure these services in former years because Rappahannock had no health department, but now with the local division of the state depart^ ment of health, such opportunities are available. A survey has been made of the schools in the county as to the amount of dental work needed by the school children. Records are not available in all schools, but in one school of the county it was found that of 140 pupils, 104 needed dental defects corrected. This health department mobile dental service is for school children in grades 1 to 7. Donations toward this project may be sent to Miss Ruby Jenkins, at Washington, or to Mrs. Mary Quaintance, Sperryville School. NEW YEAR’S WATCH PARTY Mrs. Virginia M.

According to press dispatches, 'his endorsement for one of three Demecratic vacancies on the taxwriting group also marked a victory for rebellious Southern Democrats and a defeat for the administration. His name was placed before the caucus by Representative Howard W. Smith, a leader of the conservative Southern Democratic group which frequently lines up with House Republicans against administration measures. The choice of Harrison gives the* Southerners a new voice not only in tax legislation but also in selecting members of other House committees. Besides handling tax bills, the Ways and Means Committee in effect serves as the House steering committee^ Vacant seats on other House committees go to whomever is recommended by a majority of the Ways and Means Committee.

Churce Notices ■ Trinity Episcopal church services at 11 a.m. January 7. Dr. W. G. Pendleton, minister. I. n,—.I,^ j ■ ..i, ' Susan Wood Missionary Society will meet with Mrs. W. H. Lyne Flint Hill P.-T.A To Hold Discussion Meeting Jan. 9 The Flint Hill P.-T.A. urges all patrons and friends of the school to be present at a meeting at the Flint Hill school January 9 at 7:30 p.m. At this time every person present will have an opportunity to discuss those things which he considers wrong in our school system, and the meeting is for the purpose of recommending measures to remedy these conditions. The General Assembly has created a commission to study the foundation program of the public schools, and this commission is asking interested groups all over the state to consider the following questions, and make a report on them. 1. What courses are most important for the public schools to teach? 2. What are the objectives of the public schools? That is, should schools attempt to educate the children for all possible conditions they may encounter in life, or should the schools offer thorough training in basic courses, on which the pupil may continue his education? 8. What are the respective responsibilities of the home and school? That is, is it the responsibility of the home or school to teach courtesy, living with one’s fellow citizen, and other matters which historically are the responsibility of the home? The Flint Hill P.-T.A. feels that at long last the average citizen is being given an opportunity to express his views on the trend of modem education, and feels that no serious-minded school patron will allow this opportunity to pass without having a voice in the discussion made, and the recommendations sent to the As.wm. bly. The P.-T.A. as represented by* those present on January 9, will make suggestions which they hope will be the voice of the majority of the citizens. This will be possible only if everyone attends. The officers of the P.T.A. feel strongly that the community should be heard on this vital sub—if not interested enough to attend, have we a right to complain of the school curriculum and policies? Discussions will be led by Mrs. B. J. Wood, Miss Margaret Dodson, Charles Wood, and Rev. N. J. Flythe. On Saturday morning; January 6, trucks will call for food donations for the Flint Hill school lunch room. Donations ready on time will prevent delay. birth announcement Mr. and Mrs. F.

Mrs. Frances Thornton, county health nurse, and Mrs. Ruth A. Aylor, clerk, were on • hand) to greet Dr. W. R. Johnson, health officer for Prince William, Fauquier, and Rappahannock counties, and other guests, including four state restaurant inspectors, Missl 'Gladys Girfcon, district nursing supervisor, and Miss Rice, instrucing Mrs. Aylor in setting up tha records of the office. The building, freshly painted, consists of two rooms. The county health office will be open Monday through Friday, 8:15 to 5 o’clock. There are no office hours on Saturday. The telephone number is Washington2631. The opening work of the health office will be the job of bringing up to date and filing of records from a former health department, from records, 1942-1945, and fil-* ing records referred to this county from other‘health departments. When asked what was the best and quickest help that the citisena of the county could giro their new health department,' Mrs. Thornton stated that it would be in furnishing transportation of patients to clinics and taking them for x-rays when mobile units are in the county, and whenever such trips are needed between times. The county’s sanitation officer will arrive February 1, and will possibly make his home in Rappahannock. He will be sanitation officer for two counties, Rappahannock and Fauquier. His duties^ will include inspection of restaurants, water supplies, and sewerage disposal, and in a few cases. dames. The public health department, like public education, is for instruction. The health nurse help# in the detection of injuries, such as crippled children, and she investigates cases and helps get aid. She is not a nurse in the sense of caring for the sick. She is a public officer, primarily for instruction of the public. She may also sist in teaching people how to care for the sick in their homes, but she may not do the nursing. She also may assist in seeing) that quarantine is kept when necessary. Emphasis is placed in assuring the public that the county health nurse is not for the medically indigent; she is in the county for instruction and aid toward good health for everyone, just as the public schools are for all children. The four state restaurant in-* spectors who were in the county Tuesday inspected all the restaurants and issued permits for the coming year. Following this inpection, thpey will turn their records over to the local sanitation officer. With Rappahannock’s heqlth office set up, there remain eight other counties in the state which have appropriations but are awaiting personnel, and 10 countie# with no health units. This means 82 counties have health departments. Many cities have separate health departments not with the counties, such as, Winchester and Fredericksburg. Atkins—Curry It has been announced that Mrs. Rowena Margaret Curry, the former Rowena Margaret Whiteley, daughter of ReV. and Mrs. W. W.

Rappahannock News Putfithed 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: —-- $2.00 a year Big New Year Plans Rappahannock has every reason to look for a wide-awake and up-and-coming 1051. Plans are a-foot itt the county for the improvement of health. With the Public Health Nurse on the job and the health department active, there are plana for mass x-rays for detection of tuberculosis and possibly a mobile unit for the correction of faulty teeth among school children. Other plans are shaping up toward getting the Virginia Orchestra summer camp located in the county. With aU this activity, local citizens wouldn’t be surprised at anything that comes to Rappahannock! We may wake up any morning and see some factory located •within the county. We may even see beautiful school building arise; hr—who can tell?—perhaps some miracle can occur and we can have a toll-free telephone system throughout the county. I ‘The Time Ha* Come* j | the Walras said ... | HHiniiumtu We rm\e moveu me pnnung plant. With the exception of one wrenched back, three pairs of aching feet, three tempers worn very thin, and no-telling haw many things put away too carefully (lost), there were no major casualties. At the present time, we can completely understand the sentiment expressed once by a lady who had moved from her old home where the family had lived and accumulated for several generations. “Never again!” she affirmed. ‘Tin buying this house and the next time I move, six men will carry me and I won’t know anything about it.” The only hope of the printers at Rappahannock News is that some time within the next six months we shall be able to locate all the items we packed so carefully (in*order to find them easily, we thought) and eventually get the new quarters'straight and in a livable condition. This issue of the paper wa$ printed with conversation, the beginning of each sentence of which had one of these three phrases: “Do you know where we put . “Have ybu seen . . ?" “What did we do with . . ?” The printers realize that the day _ will come when we can look back Upon the moving of the plant and Joke about it. Right now it ain’t funny. * * * There was one consolation in our moving. At least iwe didn’t have the experience of the County Health Nurse. On her first day in her new office—with all the ■tate big-wigs present—she had • nice office minus equipment! Somewhere along the line, all tl*e office furniture got put elsewhere and not in tfci office building; ad' they spent part of their opening day locating and moving the desk* and filing cabinets. * * 0 It would be interesting to hear little Alice’s ideas on the subject of the new baby now. Some time, ago, Alice, aged 5, was babysitting the 2-year-old. The baby (or the job) annoyed Alice to some extent, and she finally said in disgust, “Go on and yell your head off; we're going to get a new baby anyway and we’ll just throw you away.” There is the possibility she may re-act differently now that the new baby has arrived. She may be like the little boy who said, “I think I’ll keep the old one; dhe’s prettier than the new baby.” County News Notes Mr. and Mrs. Burrell Atkina were dinner guests of Miss Clara Clatterbuck on Saturday.
