The Boy Scouts are volunteering for «lean-up projects on the alleys; neighbors are co-operating to help keep vacant lots clean; and property owners are raking, scrubbing, and brushing. Plans are a-f oot to plant shrubs near the town marker and at the two entrances to town. Mrs. Shndmch, of Rockland Nursery, Culpeper, has donated a three-foot magnolia tree to be given as a prise in the clean-up campaign, and Waynesboro Nursery has donated two |5 credits for prises for the best improved property. . When the ladies of the town first took over the government, they announced that one of their goals was to “clean-up the town." A big-city newspaper interpreted this to mean grnft jmd afl fWms of vicious crime. For the benefit of those who do not understand that large graft would be slightly difficult in the fair- “First Washington of Them All”, this statement is made clearly «ad concisely: the Clean-up Campaign means cleaning property, yards, streets, alleys, vacant lota, and making « definite effort .to remove the horrible mutilation done by man to 'Washington’s natural beauty.

Washington 2851 LUCY CATHKKBf® BOWIE~ Publisher Entered as second-class moil ■utter at the post office at Washington, Virginia. Subscription: .... (2.00 a year Wake Up Rappakannock Wake Up Are we in Rappahannock going to let our county exist as a hermit? The county has let every county-owned public building become a disgrace to the county, until it was forced by law to rebuild or repair them. Everyone realises that under such circumstances, as law enforcement, buildings caji be'very costly and that order usually comes at a time when you are least prepared to meet its demands. Let os as citizens open our eyes to the reality that id a few years our county will fb(e (facing the problem of having to rebuild the three major school centers in the comity. Wouldn't it be good business to start on the school rebuilding program now in a small way, when we can elect our own time and place, with the aid of the Battle Fund, than to wait until we are forced into the rebuilding of the three centers, perhaps all three at one time? There ere those who say that we don’t have to use the Battle Fund now; let’s wait awhile. How long do you think the seventy some odd counties, who are utiliring the Fund, are going to let their Legislators let the twenty some odd counties hold their portion of the Fund in the State Treasury—no longer than it will take for the Legislators of the seventy odd counties to enact a law making the balance of the Fund available to the counties who are trying to improve their school systems. There are those who are advocating the use of the Battle Fund to construct some additional’ ler the Washington or Fund could he used on a at either of these locations. Even if it were possible to use the Fluid to construct a building at such locations, we would have nothing more than we already have — poorly arranged and totally inadequate buildings—except more of it. If the county had used all the money it has spent on the schools in Washington, Sperryville and Flint Hill in the past 15 years, on a new building, the county could have had a high Bchool building that would have cost the county little if any more than the improvements made at the' above mentioned schools. Let us not be guilty of this mistake again! At the present, we have structures that are best described by an incident that took place not so many months ago in one of the schools. A prominent citizen was saying to another, “I don’t see how the children learn anything in these class rooms, I never saw such a dirty, dingy atmosphere.” To make the situation more ironical, the remark was overheard by a person who suggested that a new school building would correct the situation. The prominent citizen replied “Oh, No! We just can’t do that.” Let us also open our eyes to the fact that there are those who are trying to confuse the public by quoting building and operational costs of a new building excessively high. The purpose of this planned confusion is to MU the issue at the next Board of Supervisors meeting. The issue that the Board of Supervisors will have to vote on at-the next meeting, April II, will be whether or hot to authorise the School Board to borrow the necessary funds, not to exceed 1125,000.06 from the Literary Fund to construct the new building. The tax rate will not be affected until a full pear after construction has begun. Payment on the loan will not be due until the county has had the use of the money for a year. There will be no new increase in taxes for the constructkm of the new school this year. If the issue for the new building is killed at this meeting, we can expect the idea to be dropped until we are forced by law to do something about it. Let the county citisens arouse themselves end take notice of those who are giving the strongest and loudeet voice against a new school building. Wouldn’t the -majority fit this group fall into two categories? Those who do nob have any children and those who 'are able to send their children to prep schools to finish their high school? It doesn’t make sense to most good business people, why those who send their children to prep school would rather pay 12000.00 per year per child to an outer county institution, than to pay out a lesser amount into the county. The proposed new building will net cost the largest taxpayer over the period of thirty years, as much as it would cost to send one child one year to prep school. If the new building was a reality, the privileged child would not only have the advantage of just one .or two good years of good schooling, but it would have the benefit of five years of good schooling. Let as, who are interested in the progress of Rappahannock awaken ourselves to the fact our county is slipping. Proof of this fact can be found in the census reports for the past thirty years. The trend will continue if we continually have to go out of the county to obtain the things that we need. Let us each contact our - Supervisor and tell him our county has slipped far enough. We can start up the ladder by voting his confidence in the School Board recommendation that a new high school building is needed. CHARLES WOOD ALL’S WELL PRICES HAVE FALLEN Swiftly all our hopes departed, As prices rose most every day. Filling all our lives with sadness, As we journeyed on our way. We were promised no inflation, A ceiling would be placed on pay. On price of food and cost of living, We still await that one sweet day. Harry spent the many millions, Said to stop the price advance. Only to increase all prices, We lost all—except our pants Now all’s well—there’s no inflation, What Harry said was not a fake. The prices now are back to normal, Since soap’s reduced ONE CENT a cake. Cheap soap will wash the dirty linen, As one commentator wisely wrote. Let’s now invent a disinfectant, To deodorize the swell MINK COAT. F.C.B.

With the county getting in practice for the forthcoming talent show, some of os will recall our reading of a feVyearB hack, during school days. It must have been in "Artemu* Ward’s Lecture” that this was spoke: “I can’t sing. As a singist I am not a success. I am saddest when I sing. SC are those who hear me. They are saddest even than I am." All joking aside—there is much anticipation of the talent show. Folks are looking forward to it, as an evening of entertainment as well as a benefit for a fine cause—the Cancer Fund. There’s much talent in Rappahannock, and when it comes to putting on a good show, the local folks can do it—and do it right! « ♦ * I saw a lady shopping the other day. She had four, small, stairstepped boys with her. Her patience was a thing of beauty—hut after they had got into one too many pieces of mischief, she took the situation in hand. She lined them up along a counter, paddled each one, separately and firmly, and double-black-dog-dared them to move. When I saw them last, they were still standing solemn, round-eyed, and exactly where mama had placed them. Many deserved Congressional Medals do not go where they belong. So you think you’ve had trouble? Listen to this story from a sou* thorn Virginia tobacco fanner: “My little boy had chicken pox; I had appendicitis; my wife had a baby; when she. and the baby got home from the hospital, she,- the baby, and the little boy, all three, had whooping cough; I wrecked my car; the hogs died with cholera; the chickens all had diarrhea; the cat died; and the dogs had distem t-^pr. Yep, it’s been a hard year.” ¥ * * “Cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.” (That is not mine; Mark Twain penned it.) I wanted to put that in the paper last year when some of the citizens of the county were freezing cauliflower, canning cauliflower, eating cauliflower, and giring cauliflower to the hogs— the rest they just threw down the hill—but it was a touchy subject at the time and was best left alone. There were a few youngsters in a few families, no doubt, who would have read the lines and thought them extremely funny. But I love children, and I would have hated to think that upon me would rest the blame for what would have happened when they quoted the “funny” lines at an inappropriate hour; i.e., for instance, after ma had finished a full day of worrying with all the excessive and too numerous cauliflower, or at an hour after pa had spent a back-breaking day putting rubber bands around the danged things. To The Editor of Rappahannock News: The opinions of certain persons, quoted in your editorial last week to the effect that the schools do not produce sufficiently and that comparisons of present day education results with those of former days are odious, and the thought that the inadequacy of the schools is not the buildings but the quantity and quality of instruction, is a reflection, not only on the public school teachers of Rappahannock County, but also on the graduates of the schools of the past several years. For the information of those who desire the truth, let us examine the products.

Of the more than 500 graduates listed above, 170 matriculated* since 1028 at colleges and other institutions ^of higher learning and successfully completed their courses. All in all, the foregoing graduates of Rappahannock schools are good citizens. Some have achieved prominence and a few have accumulated wealth. The teachers of Rappahannock are proud of these products of our schools and I believe that few if any of these graduates are ashamed of the schools or of the men and' women who taught them.. If the ones who went to college were able to make their work, they must have been exposed to some good teaching in high school. Those who did not go to college were exposed to the same training and have achieved comparable success in whatever circumstances they found themselves. H. B. WINFREY DONAHOE’S FLOWER SHOP MRS. C. E.

After carefully considering the building needs of the county and the ability of the county to finance a construction program, the Board adopted a program of construction which calls for the erection of a high school on the “Flat Woods” site now owned by the School Board. The School Construction Fund, “Battle Fund”, would be added to the amount of the Literary Fund Loan which would make available for this building approximately $225,000.00. The proposed building has an area of 17,886 square feet exclusive of the separate shop building. It is estimated that the cost of construction will be about $10.00 to $10.90 per square foot: Balding proper---$196,000.00 Sh°P -. 10,000.00 Equipment ....._ 16,000.00 Well, sewage disposal, road and walks_ 5,000.00 Still Owing $22,500 83,600 10,800 Annual Payment $2,000 1,200 600 - - w.T0TAL-----$226,000.00 To retire the loan over a thirty year period will require a fifteen cent levy producing $6,600.00 per year. The present indebtedness of the county .for schools is $66,900.00: Orig Year Purpose Debt 1986 Wash, and Spenryville schools $48,000 1946 G. W. Carver H. School __ 36,000 1947 SperryvSle Auditorium__ 12,000 Several plans were studied and discussed before one was tentatively adopted. This plan includes seven regular classrooms, library, principal’s office and clinic, science laboratory, commercial room, home economics room, shop, kitchen, and auditorium-cafeteria. The 'specifications caH for cinder block construction. o The building, is planned teahouse about 270 pupils. While the enrollment of the high school may exceed this figure at some time, the Board is mindful of the decrease in population in the county which will inevitably be reflected in the number -of pupils enrolled. The following tables show the population trend.

It is estimated that the increased costs of operation and maintenance wiU be approximately $3,000.00 a year. In order to meet this additional cost a levy of approximately 7 cents would be necessary. It is not necessary to lay additional levy for operation and maintenance as a part of the 1950-51 school budget. Next week, another article will appear in this paper on the operation of the proposed Rappahannock County High School.
