Last week’s RappChata (paragraph 6) stated: “All Virginia Strains were decidly inferior". This should have been SUPERIOR. In fact the only strain of orchard grass comparable to our Virginia strains was F. C. 22884. ~ • • * Reseeding Crimson Clover has aroused interest among some of our Rappahannock farmers as result of articles bn the subject appearing in farm publications among which was “Tractor Farming” distributed locally by A. W. Mitchell A Company of Culpeper. For this reason the following ‘untinted’ information ii offered for what it may be worth to our farmers concerned. Regular Crimson Clover seed mature and fall to the ground in June and after a few good rains they germinate. The hot dry weather that usually follows germination usually kills most, if not all* the young seedlings. The reseeding type produces a large percentage of hard seed that do not germinate until later in summer when conditions are more favorable, thus it can reseed itself. in* inxie urimson Clover is a reseeding type and includes three different strains among which is Antanga produced in Alabama. These re-seeding strains hare been successfully grown at Williamsburg for four to fire years,hare reseeded aind produced as much growth as the common type. The most rital concern howerer over this re-seeding Crimson Clover is just how it will fit into our farming system here in Rappahannock. This is rather difficult to get through plot work as there are many possible uses and different farming systems. A few of the plans where this clover may Imre « place here in Rappahannock are: (. Seeding in Corn at Last Cuttiration. Seeding of Crimson Clorer sometimes is very difficult and to do a good job corer nigh impossible; thus the reseeding type may have some advantages for this purpose. There may be a good place in our county where corn is grown on the same ground year after year because of lack of suitability of land for row crop production. 2. Pasture. Another possible use would be with Korea, Kobe, or Common Lespedeza in order to provide both winter and summer grazing but it is not known whether the lespedeza will re-seed under these conditions. If the Crimson Clover is grazed fairly close from February to maturtiy the lespedeza may re-seed, but the crimson clover may not hare a good stand. Interested farmers may disc a small area of lespedeza in August or early September and seed some of the Re-seeding Crimson Clover and observe tne results. All Crimson Clover makes a quick come back but are cut back by frosts thus it is my opinion that in this section especially when weather conditions are such as experienced recently a mixture of small grain and rye grass would provide winter pasturage more resistant to frosts than Crimson lover. T'1! To clarify the difference between this clover and red clover which seems to be confusing some of our farmers Crimson Clover is sometimes referred to as German Clover; also crimson clover has an elongated blossom that is crimson in clover while' the blossom that is crimson in clover while the blossom of red clover iq more rounded in shape and pink in color. ; First Aid Classes To Start April 5 At High School ■» Classes ip first aid will start April 5 at 7:30 p.m. at the Rappahannock County High School.

ftUUwd Thureday Moraine it 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 - School Question* Pros and Cons A serious effort has been mad* to collect the reasons given both for and against the building of a, new high school in Rappahannock. In many interviews the reasons "were stated in different manners, but following is a condensed summary. of the main reasons stated most frequently. THE PROS— Those in favor of the building of the new school givh* the following reasons: There is insufficient room in the present building to house comfortably and adequately the present enrollment of approximately 236 in the high school, and the knowledge that next year's estimate stands at 260-260 (a conservative estimate) means conditions will be much worse. The statement is made that, .where last year and in years previously the number of pupils in the build—ing was very few less than now, this year the pupils are more of high school age and sise and more space per -pupil ia required. The Battle Fond available at the present time will help the county bear the added tax burden of the new building, and advantage should be taken, also, of the loans available from the Literary Fund upon which interest is 3%. - i . . . ..— The fact that the building will be needed worse in future years adds to the belief of some that it is better to build now when money is available and when materia als are no higher. There is also some expression of the opinion that if materials are not obtained immediately, they may not be available later. „ Opinion is stated that a new there would be many advantages to having a separate elementary and secondary school. It is estimated that 60% of the teachers are local taxpayers, and they know the conditions under which they are working and feel that a new building is necessary and worth the cost. ' THE CONS— Those against the building of the new secondary school state the following reasons: That taxes to finance the new building and the increased cost of the operation of a new school aTe too much for the taxpayers to undertake when the population of the county decreased in the last census and the evaluation of real estate went down about $50,000 in the recent re-assessment. Opinion is stated that an we building would be financed by a ,15-cent levy (for 30 years) for construction, with an (estimated) - additional 10-cent levy for the operation of the school after it is built. This 25-cent levy (15construction, 10-operation) will be above the present $1.80 levy for operation of schools, and 40-cents for the general fund. The total tax for the county would be $2.20 per $100 without the school and $2.45 if it is built. Those who oppose the building of the new school cannot understand how the school population is increasing when the total population of the county is decreasing. There is a feeling that the building is not as necessary as some Ml Shows'start at 7:15 and 9 P.M. On# Shenr Only Wed.' 8:00 FRL - SAT., MAR. 28 - 24 ROT ROGERS M Wffw.. * ^Sunset In The We#!"

Thera is some expression of opinion that the schools cannot— or do not—produce sufficiently to justify the amount of money that would be put into them. Some opinion has been expressed that comparisons of present-day education results with results of a former day are odious, and the thought has been expressed that the inadequacy of the schools io not buildings but the quality and quantity of instruction. (The following questions were sent to Q. D. Casque, superintendent of schools, with the hope that his answers would help explain the “Battle Fund" to those who did not understand how the money could me used.—ed. note.) WHAT IS THE “BATTLE FUND? The School Construction Fund, House Bill No. 9fi—is generally referred to as the “Battle Fund”. The General Assembly passed this bill at its 19S0 session making aq appropriation of of $45,000,000.00 available to the localities, $80, 000,000.00 to he available the first year and $15,000,000.00 the second year. Ten per cent of the amount available each year is to be held in a special fund known as the “Equalisation” fund and this fund is to^he allocated to such counties an<f cities which have passed a local levy equal to, or greater than, 70 cents per $100 based on the "true value of locally taxable wealth. (Rappahannock county qualifies under this provision.) The “Equalisation" fundi is to be spent on new construction only. “.; r~'~ HOW MUCH “BATTLE FUND” WILL BE AVAILABLE TO RAPPAHANNOCK? Rappahannock county has been —allocated the-following funds to date: From funds available the first year—$62,174.65 (1) footnote. Equalisation funds the first year—$4,879.55, (2) footnote. From funds available the second year—$30,653.66 (3) footnote. — Total available at the end of _ session 1351, not including second year’s equalisation fund—$97,707.97. DOES THIS MONEY HAVE TO BE PAID BACK? No. This money was appropri-' ated by the 1950 General Assent bly—House Bill No. 96 —from State Surplus Funds and is an outright grant to the localities. WHAT DOES THE COUNTY HAVE TO PROMISE IN ORDER GET THIS “BATTLE FUND" MONEY? (a) Plan a program of school construction for a four-year period ending June 30, 1954, that is acceptable to the State Board of Education. Such a program was adopted by the School Board at its meeting on December 20, 1950, and has been approved by the State Board. This program calls only for the erection of a County High School. (b) School Board must plan *n “Acceptable Unit”. This unit shall include proposed classroom area, including administration offices, adequate utility facilities, clinic room, and library and the plans must show that provision has been made for subsequent addition of auxiliary facilities which may include a gymnasium, and audito Pitts Park THEATRE Front Royal, Virginia THUR. - FRL, MAR. 22-23 DONALD O’CONNOR JIMMY DURANTE “The Milkman” SATURDAY, MAR. 24 FORREST TUCKER BRUCE CABOT “Rock Island Trail” SUN. .

Burr P.

The subject of the hearing will be "Problems of Small Business Related to the National Emergency”. It will be conducted by a subcommittee headed by Rep. Mike' Mansfield, Democrat, of Montana. "We are fortunate in having the Hon. Clarence G. Burton of the 6th Virginia District as a member of this subcommittee," Mr. Harrison commented. "I shall be happy to transmit to Mr. Burton, for submission to the sub-commit-, tee chairman, the names of an/ businessmen of the 7th District who desire to testify at the hearing."

Quoth the Senator: “the White House is for a combination of Lincoln, Jefferson, Clev eland, the two Roosevelts, and Sandow the Strong Man." As a postscript, he added that the man in the White House also, needed the patience of Job. Some people are wondering if the Senator was serious in thinking it necessary for a President to hold even half of these qualifications, or was he doing a little wishful thinking. * * * Spring sprung yesterday. According to the best almanac lore, the sun crossed some Hne or other and the turn of the season was marked thereby. Anyway, it’s what’s commonly referred to a» the Equinox, and it usually means Tain for three or four days. This predicted rain is'hard on some of the young ladies with fresh Easter bonnets ready for church services Sunday morning. Perhaps the weatherman can be persuaded to hold the showers back long enough not to spoil all the Easter finery out on parade. They’ve finally got the cat out of the church organ. Newspapers of recent date have carried stories of the black cat hiding in the pipe organ of a church in England end no amount of persuasion could get Tommy (or Tabby—the papers never said which) to come out. The organist turned the trick. He gave a spirited rendition of the Hallelujah Chorus and the cat came out. Now, there have been times when it was thought the church choir had a cat in it—but this is the first public record of a cat be* ing in the church organ. A piano tuner recites a list of the articles he removed from a piano in a school auditorium—a song book, two old spellers, a tomato sand-* wich, and a light bulb—but he failed to mention a cat.

Now this is the group that on Tuesday Nights, Note ■Gathers together to polish their . throat. And if you’re around at half after seven, You’ll hear the best music, this side of Heaven. People and Music Just as music is made by people, so people are made by music. For music can create in those who hear it a “clean heart” and renew -within them a “right spirit”. Music grows out of life. Music in turn can help life to grow happier and more expressive. A beloved American scholar, Dr. Henry Van Dyke, when asked “why the world needle musty” gave this memorable answer: “Good music seems to me the expression of the lofty soul, the trained intelylect, and the disciplined emotions. When I hea£ beautiful music I am carried out' of myself . . . into a region of beauty and sublimity which has a divine order. Music contributes so much to the higher joy of life, the higher understanding. We should remember the words of the poet Wordsworth: ‘Without pleasure we really do not know how to understand anything.’ Music is a wonderful opener of the heart. In music we do not want to be moved by mere physical sensations but by emotions regular and eontroll- 1 ed by the deep laws of melody and harmony.” •-*«'* ~ Van Dyke really sums up the story of peojrie and music in bis fine lines: • ■ - -'V'x ■ Great Nature had a million words, In tongues of trees and songs of birds, But none to breathe the heart __ of man, c I Till Music filled the pipes , ■> . o’ Pan. ;<f . ' ' Motorist* Advised To Pw«m Auto Pistes Coincident with the beginning Of the annual period for registering their automobile for the 1951 license year, Virginia motorists were advised by the Division of Motor Vehicles to take good care of their bright, new 1951 plates during the next twelve months. The reason-t—they may only get ‘ a tab to validate their plates during 1952 if plans now contemplated go into effect; which Commissioner C. P. Joyner, Jr., said would effect a saving of 700 tons of steel, and conform to the drastic economy which is being urged in connection with the defense program. ~ The Commissioner pointed out that this tab-validating system was in effect in Virginia for one license year during World War II, and today is being employed by several of the states in their licensing operations for 1951 registrations. In addition to advising motorists to take care of their 1951 plates, Mr. Joyner also called attention to the fact that they would have to save their 1951 registration cards in order to obtain the 1952 tags. Just * little extra care of their 1951 plates, the proper method of affixing them to the vehicle so that they will sustain only the minimum of wear will be a splendid contribution by Virginia motorists to the economy of one one basic material so urgently needed in these critical days of preparedness which the nation faces, the Commissioner commented. (Rust-proof bolts to secure your new plates may be purchased at the local license sales office— Hampton Service Station, one mile west of Washington). . “There never was a truer saying that if we save, we serve. The 700 tons of steel which Virginia motorists will save by co-operating now with our contemplated plan for 1952 may mean the saving of lives aiid property in the event that we are attacked**, he ” said.

Lyne, county agent, t*- * ported, that a county-wide property inspection for stem-rust susceptible barberry bushes is soon r to take place. -:The barberry eradication project is a cooperative activity of the State and Federal Departments of Agriculture. The eradication of barberry bushes to control stem rust of wheat, oats, bar? ley, and rye was started by Id gram-producing states and the U.S. Department of Agriculture in 1018 following the severe rust epidemic in 1016. The control area extended to include Virginia and four other states in 1S34. , Since then barberry eradication bas been conducted in 28 «mn-- - ties where several million bushes have been found and eradicated. Stem rust is caused by a fungus plant that lives on barberry busfa-i es ana certain grama and grasses. JjThe fungus survives the winter in the block-spore stage on grain stubble, old straw piles, and grasses. These airborne spores are not capable of infecting new grain in the spring but they infest barberry bushes, and the spring stage of the rust develops on the leaves. Spores from diseased barberry levee infect grain and grass plants nearby. Once this stage is established, rust spreads by means of wind-borne spores from plant to plant and from field to field. The .elimination of barberry bushes breaks the cycle of rust development and controls the disease.

Pannock, Foraatar) Let the cook go away—say fare* well to the laundress—and boodbye to the butler—but no woman in her senses would ever fire her most precious servant—WOOD; »A woman is nearly absolutely - dependent on trees of oak, pins,; walnut, and many more. Floors jwd trim in her home are made of wood, the wallpaper comes from wood pulp, rayon upholstery, curtain drapes, and bedspreads are a wood product. Wood products slip into the make of her new hat and her telephone is based on plastic wood. It is' likely that her house is built of wood, ditto the fine furniture. Junior does arithmetic with a wood lead pencil and carves his initials on a wooden desk. Naturally it might be thought that a woman would treat wood ia any form with all the tenderness given her rich uncle from Florida. Instead, as a rule, she pays not attention to its destruction from various causes or the prevention thereof. ■ f Women will painstakingly remind their husbands that the lawn has to be mowed, there are weed# in the garden to be polled, or th« JKreae aeadato be paiatad. But, if she secs hubby burning trash near the woods on a dry, windy day in violation of the 4 p.m. Brush Burning Law or using destructive cutting practices within their woods,'she pays very little attention. It’s up to the women to keep the men on the job. Remind your husbands about fire danger and the various forest fire laws. If your property supports a wooded area, insist that it be cut and managed according to proper forestry practices. Duties of Local Board Clerks Outlined The local board office, more commonly known as “the draft board office,” is headquarters for the Selective Service System in the community under its jurisdiction. Local board clerks act as office managers and custodians of the records of registrants, it was stated by State headquarters for selective service recently. The local board clerk must have a working knowledge of selective service regulations and policies, which calls for constantstudy in order to keep abreast of the information being sent down from National and State headquarters. The clerk is glad to give out such information pertaining to selective service to registrants or other interested persons. In many cases registrants are’ going to extreme trouble to get information which is readily available at the local board office in his community, whether he is registered with that particular board or not. Local board clerk* do not classify or reclassify registrants. Thia can only be done by the local board at a board meeting, at which the clerk has no voice or vote. The -clerk will bring to the attention of the board all information submitted by the registrant, his de»' pendents or his employer, but under no circumstances is the clerk empowered with the right to argue the registrant’s case before the local board. The local board clerk may accept a registrant’s note of appeal or his application to volunteer for induction and register new registrants as they become eligible for registration. —In the files at the local board offieve lies information of such deep personal intimacy as to make the local board clerks observe the same code of strict secrecy as applies to doctors. Some of this information has a .tinge of humor, some routine, some pathetic, but Federal law requires that all the information in the file of each SERVICES AT SPERRYVILLB v Then will be service! tonight!
