VOL. a—NO. 18. WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, S2.00 Per Year THURSDAY MARCH 1, 1951. P.-T. A, Approve* Building New County High School , In meeting: Monday night, the ; Rappahannock County P.-/T. A. went on record as approving the building of a high school for the - county, with a minimum of $225,<000 and a maximum of $250,000, ? approximately $>100,000 of which I Would come from the Battle Fund. Representatives of all but one. . district in the county were pres‘ ent at one of the best attended meetings of the year’s session of £ the county-wide P-TA for the the county-wide consolidated high j| school. ^ a. wnirey, principal oi Rappahannock High School, gave ^he . report for the county committee, composed of two patrons, one teacher, one member of the board of supervisors, and a member of the school board. } % The report of this committee | recommended the borrowing of 1126,000 from the Literary Fund to be paid at the rate of 65,000 or $6,000 annually for SO years, i' The committee reported, after i examining records, that the payment of this debt would cost the I average taxpayer in the county 66 a year, with the highest taxpayer set at an annual payment 4 of M7. I It was reported also that the required amount, 6645, for the visit of the state dental clinic had been raised and the clinic would now be scheduled at the earliest available date.'' * .Vs $862.50 Secured For ^4 Music Festival- ‘ Another meeting ef the officers and campaign workers of the Blue Bidge Music Festival Association was held Sunday afternoon at the v Sperryville home of Mr. and Mrs. James Atkina. — Additional memberships were reported to bring the total amount of money to 6862.50, as follows: Washington and vicinity, Mrs. ,p. D. Miller in charge, 6482.09. • Sperryville and vicinity, Rev. A. Paul Thompson in change, 6287.50* I The officers, 6143.00. Total, 6862.50. - . In order to avoid conflict with the Red Cross campaign, it was decided to bring the active campaign to a close, but all workers were requested to finish up their calls and make a final report by Friday of this week. It was predicted that returns from those not yet seen would bring the total _well beyond thethousand dollar mark. The sale of tickets at the Rappahannock News office and otherprominent places throughout the county will enable those who have not been- seen to reserve theirs. The price for adults is 63, entitling the holder to three concerts In August. Student tickets at 61.50 will also be scalable. These are for any student regardless of age, who la-attending school or college full time or for any boy qr girl up to 12 years of age. '* Those who have not made their reservations for the concerts are reminded that membership tickets bought in advance, of the concerts ’ - are not subject to tax, while ad* ' missions paid at.the door are taxed at the usual rate. ? The search for a suitable place for the concerts is continuing with the hope that a decision may be reached by this week end when a representative of the Virginia Orchestra, the parent body, is expected in Rappahannock. Additional steps are to be taken shortly to extend the organization of the Blue Ridge Music Festival | Association to nearby counties, including Culpeper, Madison, ,Fau1 quier, Page, Warren and Frederick. Expressions of interest have. | come from all these counties. Thus far,; the uncertainty of 'ample, - i bousing accomodations for a large crowd at the concerts has made it > necessary to limit the number of memberships to 100 for each of the other counties, at least f qr the , first yean It is expected that * many tourists will also be attracted , and will want to attend the eon- ; v *«rta if seating .space permit?.

The speaking program will .begin at eleven o’clock in the morning at Sperryville School auditoriums. If you happen to be one of those •fruit growers who thinks he knows it all . . . better stay home . . . however, I believe every man should strive always to improve his business and that this school will offer much of value to the fruit growers. I urge that all of Rappahannock orchardists attend and am sure you will be welcomed. Lunch will be served by the Home Demonstration club ladies. Plans Dropped kk Pooled Chicken Orders Floyd Compton, president of Rappahannock poultry producers, announced yesterday plans to pool orders for baby chicks from leading hatcheries in Viifeinlia had been dropped due to lateness of ■♦receiving replies from hatcheries contacted and a majority of producers having already placed their ^orders. This does not mean the association has completely forsaken the pooled order idea for certain definite advantages have been revealed as a result of investigating a number of hatcheries. It means the group will start work on pooling orders for next year in. December instead of February. Results of the investigation including: factual data as to quality of'"chicks offered and production capabilities of their parents, health, price etc., are available at the county agent’s office and may be'seen .upon request. Poultrymen who have not already placed their baby chick orders are urged to take advantage of this opportunity.

The public is again reminded that the appeal for funds is made only once each year, and is asked for a generous response at this time. The great I majority of Red Cross workers find pleasure in giving time and ' effort to the cause of humanity. Remember, you are giving moral support to them, and help to some needy or distressed person by cheerfully contributing as much as you are able to the organization. We have been instructed by an official from Red Cross National Headquarters to inform the public that nothing is being sold to soldiers in Korea, and all the Red Cross is doing for them is without cost. This is to correct erroneous reports that get out from time . to time, and the public is entitled to know how funds contributed ingood faith are being spent. The Red Cross Is the only organizatkm of its kind that is abbs , to give emergency aid on such a - large scale in any part of the world it operates. Very few places in the world of today are unacquainted with the Red Cross and its nmork. - In our own Rappahannock County Chapter we have an organization that is ready and able to give emergency assistance in case of need or distress, and we know of no better way to help comfort your fellow man than by contributing your funds, and Just as important, give it your moral support.

Subscription: ,—_ 12.00 a year “The man that hath no mnsto in hiamelf, . yi Nor is not moved with tostonl; of sweat sounds, . .> Is St for treasons, stratagems, . -and spoils.” —The Merchant of Venice Although we may not be able to explain why, moat of us are conscious of the fact that we have a liking and a certain amount of aptitude for music. Someone has well called it the most universal avocation, meaning that it is the thing we most naturally turn to for a hobby, when we would study, briefly, our reasons for liking music. We like music because it instills in us a sense of well-being; it sets us up, so to speak, both physically and emotionally. We seem to be endowed with some sort of mechanism that reacts and responds to sounds. „ Another, and very important, reason for our liking music is the fact that its domain is so largely outside our ordinary world, its field of operations so entirely beyond these sensory impressions and physical reactions. We may not be able to help reacting to music physically, but our greatest enjoyment of it eomes from the fact that its world is so largely one of memory, imagination, and feeling. In the midst of a humdrum, practical, pressing world, one which badgers and confuses, music takes us outside ourselves,, transports us, as nothing else can, into another existence. What haunts our minds and captures our spirits is music’s peculiar blend of things that exist best in ■the memory, and its suggestion of things that have never really existed at all. National Smile Week " According to bulletins — and ‘ whence they come, no man can ■tell— this is National Smile Week. Its purpose is not a false one. No suggestion is offered that you forget your troubles. The purpose is to spread sunshine by being pleasant in appearance. Greet your fellow man as if the entire world bad a rosy hue just because be hove into sight. Spread your face and make him feel assured that your day would have been a complete failure had you not chanced * to view bis countenance. Tbe doctors will tell you that it takes so-many muscles to frown or scowl, and only a few to smile. The frown radiates discomfort and gloom to your fellow man, while the smilerequires much less . effort on your part—spreads cheer and good will. Goodness knows, there’s little enough cheer and good-will running around loose, eo if squeezing a few seldom-used muscles will help, all of us should put forth the effort. ’Tis admitted that a smile is difficult at times. Man is not given to a cheery countenance when he strikes his shin on a rocker. Neither does he wear the appearance of the Cheshire-cat when the apple season is bad and business is worse. •• Now, the preachers may expound that a lie "is the intention to deceive," but even the best of tiie preachers will hold that it doesn’t hang dn the wrong side of the recording-angel’s ledger if you try to help lessen gloom with a good, broad grin even if times do not warrant it. "Laugh; and the world laughs with you; weep, and you weep alone," was one of the few sayings thrown about in the oldfashioned schools. This can’t, be termed a particularly brilliant bit of wording. It is too logical. Laughing—smiling—is a companionable act. Who wants to sit down by himself and laugh like an idiot? The main pleasure of a good laugh is in sharing it. And when a fellow wants to cry, gracious knows, h« doesn't want com- ' pany! Neither does he'cry better for sharing it, nor does he want another to cty with him. He take* his misery alone because he like* It better that way. Likewise, he takes his laughing with his friends, for there it is a better laugh. The only virtue reasoned so far from having this National Smile Week is this: if we try a whole week of smiling, wo will like the change so well that we will continue it throughout the entire year, ■ ■ i -»*• r; <o*r c.

T \ Sportsmanship With tb« Rappahannock High School girl* losing their champ* ionship try in the finals, the local cRisen* have just cause to be particularly proud of the manner in which they met defeat. One of the teachers, who (went to see the girls take a try at the Northern 'Virginia championship, -reported that she was more than satisfied with the game. “They played hard and did their best. The other team just out-played them. Our girls took it like the fine sports they ate, and handled themselves like ladies," was the report. . Of that fine record, the county has a right to be as proud as if the girls bad brought home the championship—in fact, in an odd fashion, somehow, we feel a bib more pride than we would have . had they won. We would have ing about how good they were as players. Now, circumstances being as they are, yre do very little talking, but every time we see one of those “good sports," there arises’ in the mind the splendid picture they presented. They were licked, but they didn't complain. They had met defeat, but they didn’t scream behind alibis of “the game wasn't fair" and such cheap exhibitionism. They1 lost, but they proved that they1 werfe made of good material, and though they had had little experience with defeat (the championship game is the only one they lost " all season)'* they rose to the occasion and conducted themselves with a display of good manners. V- The county is proud of that team. It has a right to be, for the team earned the county’s respect with their display of good ' sportsmanship. As long as the young people of the county can go out from Rappahannock-High School, -carrying the county’s name with them, and show to all other schools that they knoiw the full meaning of good - sportsmanship, the county will remain proud of them. Winning a championship is fine —we all like to win—but there are times when it’s more important to be a lady, or a gentleman, than it is to win a game. Our high school students seemed to have learned this, and because of this lesson they have learned, we are proud of them, proud of the school, and proud of our county’s name being held in esteem as the location of good sports. Letter To The Editor I agree with Bystander that we don’t want to return to the horse and buggy days, memorialised by F. D. R. But let us too remember that Mr. R’s grandiose schemes have carried us to the brink of bankruptcy. He also has me postdated, for my school days, it was Shank’s Mare that conveyed us back and forth as much as 5 or 6 miles to'the little school house in the sticks. 1 would also have him know that we are not ashamed of our trans- , portation whose blood lines are recorded much farther back than those of the Arab, the chariot, ‘ the tin-lizzie or the New Deal. I also agree with him that our teachers should have all comforts and pleasures possible, even those, of urban society. I feel, however, that we should think too of the little tqts, standing by the wayside' in the cold rain and snow, waiting for the bus. I also agree with Breathless in “keeping up with the Jones,’*, if you have the hay, but think he should have given us our proposed tax. rate, not the ' present one, and also compared the taxable assets of the two counties. We can’t understand why our school authoritiei have not used some of the effort they put forth for buildinges in behalf of better roads over which to haul country children. Ride over them or ask the bus drivers and you will find that they are not only uneconomical, because of bus upkeep, but actually unsafe. Why do we have money to spend and waste manicuring the Lee Highway for the benefit of tourists and .overloaded' out-of-state trucks and for building auditoriums, athletic fields, etc., .and cant find the pittance deeded to make 'these bus routes decent? ' Isn’t Bonn explanation also doe * mm to why the $100,000 Battle Fund can be used to force ua to a bond issue? Whose money is it? Where did it come from? If this is Democracy, why are we fighting the Nasi and Comma* nist? I was unde? the impression that our schools were intended to -prepare our children for the struggle of life and not leave than dependent on the welfare promises of transient politicians and the thin veneer of education that we -now give them. ^ j I sometimes iwonder if 'our op-, tlmlsts are too young or to weal- ‘ hhy to recall the dark days of the depression eras.

LYLE MILLER -—P.S.—The reference in a letter to Mr. Miller’s suggestion that we send children to Front Royal school must have been one of the pseudonyms. I didn't write it. * D. L. M. Letter To The 'Editor In the many suggestions made concerning.the school situation-in Rappahannock county, 1 have not heard the following given: Why not use the Battle Fund to build aa large a school as possible on the Flat Woods location, this building to be an embryo school, to be added on as funds permit? These rooms could be used for the elementary grades which are now housed at the Rappahannock County High School, thus allowing the rooms' now in use for the elementary grades to be allocated lor high school uses. As for paying back “painlessly” the money necessary to build a complete new school, I would advise all citisens to talk to their district supervisors. It has recently come to my attention that we, the county, already owe around $80,000,000; some of this is payment of the building of the present Rappahannock High School. If this debt hai not been more greatly reduced in the years since that school was built, why fool ourselves that we can repay $100,000, “painlessly”? Most of us have to curtail our individual desires and do only those things which we can afford; iwhy not use that principle in our county finances? Surely, if we begin with that which we can afford, and add gradually as we can afford it, we will eventually have that which we all either secretly or openly desire — a nice new school. AN INTERESTED PATRON Men Or Mice? Our Principal Resource What is the principal resource of Rappahannock county? Some folks would say cattle, others apples, and stiU others might say poultry, I, for one, say that our principal resource is our children. One of my reasons for thinking so is that you can love a child (even more than money)'; another is that our Lord Jesus Christ put man above all other earthly creatures. Some folks do not have children as resources, but if they are honest with themselves, they will agree that the children are the principal resource. If any of our farmers needed a barn, a packing house, or a chicken bouse as badly as we need a high school, and if he had_nearly half of the money to build one, I believe he would borrow the balance and put the building up. I know the building iwill cost money (perhaps 15c per hundred on our present taxable values for a period of 30 years) and it will cost a little more to give our children high school insi|ruction' that they need, but if a person wants badly enough for the children to have what they need, he is willing to pay for it. Our county can progress oi^ly as rapidly as our children progress.—Contributed.

Daily Nm JPhe official stenographer in Ui« gold-draped sanctum o£ the' House Ways and Means Commit* tee was scribbling furiously. The statesmen on the walnut bench were listening open-mouthed to the witness. -—They’re the gentlemen who ire faced with the unhappy tn»fr of boosting taxes on rich and poor alike. Russ Nixon, the economist of the United Electric Radio and Machinists Union, was going great guns, proving that most Americans today are too poor to pay the taxes already charged against "them." . . ■ ANTI-CLIMAX Mr. Nixon was a persuasive fellow—for the first half hoar. He was a youngish man with a small "bald spot, a faultlessly tailored suit gray shepherd's plaid, light horn-rim eyeglasses, and t genuine gift of gab. He said that the average working man today earns so little in terms of what inflated dollars will bay that he can afford a new auto every 17 years and a new kitchen stove every 100 years. He and his family barely get enough to eat, Nixon continued. It was here that Rep. Burr PHarrison (D., Va.) used his Southern accent gently to interrupt him. "You're a neighbor of mine in Arlington county, Mr. Nixon,” he began. “And are you here representing workers or some foreign powers?” “The workers, of course,” snap-* ped Mr. Nixon. ‘1 mean are you a member of the Communist Party?” demanded Rep. Harrison. . - . “No sir,” said Mr. Nixon. > , “Have you ever been?” Mr. Nixon refused to answer - that. He said he was talking about taxes; not testifying before the Un-American Activities Committee. “But your union was excluded from the CIO because it was Com-" munist-dominated,” Rep. Harrison insisted. . ■' ■■ “We’ got out of the CIO,” Mr. Nixon replied. "*Tf this man is a Communist, I don’t want to bear him,” interjected Rep. Thomas Jenkins (R., 0.). “Do you work for a Communist” asked Rep. Richard M. Simpson <R., Pa.). “I work for a union,” retorted Mr. Nixon. ’ “Well, would you work for a. union, some of whose officers wave Communists?” Rep. Simpson queried. Mr. Nixon said that wouldn't • matter to him, if the union, itself, was loyal. . The chairman, Rep. Robert L. Doughton (D., N.C.) asked if he was through. Mr. Nixon said no, he was not; he had more to say about taxing the people into poverty. This seemed to be a mistake. Mr. Nixon now talked to congress, men who were paying no attention. Rep. Doughton chatted with his neighbor on the Republican side. The reporters stopped taking notes. And the statement of Mr. Nixon that began so eloquently wound up like a Hollywood face on the cutting room floor. t Mr. and Mrs. P. R.

I 1 | ‘The Time Ha* Come/ | I tU Wklru laid ... | ■MNMMMSSSM •lUlHimilllH .Learning ’is a Wonderful thing. For instance, the New York Times the other day passed along such '‘ Vital information as this in its practically-eantified columns: If a cow has no birth certificate, here’s how to figure her age: / “At 12 months or younger, all the milk (calf) incisor teeth are in place. At 15 months, the center pair of incisor teeth may be replaced by a center pair of permanent incisors, these being through the gums but not yet in wear. At 18 months, the center pair of permanent incisors should be fully up and in wear, but the next pair, the first intermediates, have not eut through the gums. At three years, there should be three pairs of broad teeth fully up with the corner permanent teeth and in wear and the corner milk teeth may be shed or shedding, just appearing through the gums." Life has a fuller meaning to me now that I have acquired that information. All I now have to do is (1) commit the above facts to memory, (2) give myself a little practical experience by running around through /pastures opening, cows’ mouths and staring therein. In the future if anytime I want to know the age of a cow, I shall be well qualified to judge. In fact, there is a possible opening in th« field of specialization. Perhaps I should rid myself of the tediousness of my present work and become a Cow’s Age Teller. Yes, they tell me that the only hope of success in this day and time is to be a specialist, to master one Job. . . . Now, what the country needs is a good, fivecent Cow’s Age Teller. o o o _ Lists of the forth-coming spring garden and home tours are appearing. The Deep South and Midsouth, iwith six states on the 1 list, have set the dates of the Azalea Trail Festi-al, the Azalea Festival, Historic Charleston Foundation, and others. More than 2Q0 early homes will be shown to visitors during Virginia’s Historic Garden Week from April 21 to 28. Garden ^ Week Headquarters, Jefferson Hotel, Richmond, will furnish details about sight-seeing. It is hoped that the homes in Rappahannock - will be open again this year, following the charming tour arranged by the garden club last year. From April 27 to May 9, Maryland will entertain its House and Garden Pilgrimage guests. Under this program a day is devoted to each county in the state when gardens, homes, and heirlooms are placed on display. Hostesses will serve tea in the lace and brocades of grandma’s day. ' . OtO ' The Common Cold Research Unit of Salisbury, England, has • been hard at work lately, but they 1 admit they have “gathered little information of importance” «a the spread of colds. Three doctors - placed 12 volunteers on an isolated ) island near Scotland and the ex, periments began las* July. Up to the latest date the facts diseoveri, ed were this: it is hard to give 1■« a man a cold by natural surroundings and exposure to weather, but as soon as a victim of a bad cold was placed nsar the 12 volunteers, they quickly caught it. Heck! that’s . I no news.

A Striking 'Dream Last night I had a shocking dream That filled me with dismay: Our fighting men had gone on strike, • Demanding higher pay. They wanted overtime, it seemed, For dying in the mud, And shorter working hours for The shedding of their blood.“How dare they strike!” the home front screamed, “When we gave up so much, Like candy bars and~pleasure cars and cigarettes and such!” The foe broke through the picket line And left a trail of graves, And overnight our people all Were changed to fettered slaves. I woke to find our boys still fought And that the end seemed near, They weren’t striking over there— The strike was OVER HERE! —Anonymous.

New Amendments For Veterans Social Security Millions of veterans were earning Social Security when they entered the service during World War II. While in the service, they couldn’t add to their Social Security accounts. Many Veterans returned home to find that their accounts were not in force because no payments could be made during the period of service. The 1950 amendments to the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance program give World War II veterans wage.credits of $160.00 for each month of active military or naval service performed during the war. These credits toward Social Security benefits may be used even though the Veterans Administration pays a pension or compensation. They won’t be given if the military or naval service leads to retirement benefits under any other Federal system. These wage credits go to veterafis who had at least 90 days of service between September 16, 1940 and July 24, 1947 and whose discharge or release from service was not dishonorable. These wage credits can be used in determining the amount of insurance payments due the veteran and his family when he is 65 or over and retires, to the family of a serviceman or service woman now deceased, regardless of whether death occurred in service, and to the family of « veteran if he should die. If you are a World War II veteran these wage credits for active service may enable you to regain Social Security rights built up 'Bev* fore the iwar or to increase the benefits to your family if you should die. World War II wage credits for servicemen and servicewomen will be given at time a claim is filed. Every survivor who lost a son, daughter or husband during or after World War 11 should check with the Social Security office as they may be entitled to Social Security payments. Benefits may be lost if you do not get in touch with the office before March 31. Tkrn’t rely on information secured from others. They may be misinformed end their misinformation could cost you- the benefit to which you may be entitled. ■''* “ The s'*'’-ess of ther Alexandria - office is 81F King Street.
