WASHINGTON,-VIRGINIA, THURSDAY, APRIL 5, 1951 $2.00 Per Year Point-To-Point Provet .“Greenaway” l>ay Mr. and Mis. Leon T. Greenaway proved to be tops Saturday at Rappahannock Hunt’s Point-toPoint races, taking the lead in three of the races. The Fanners’ Race, opening the afternoon, saw Wade H. Massie HI winner, riding an entry of W. G. Eaatham. Tommy Eastham drew second spot, with Frank Dodson’s horse third, ridden hy Mitchell Dodson. Leon T. Greenaway on “Gold Barron” and John R. DeBergh on “Red Bug” fought it out for the second race, The Battle Run. First one and then the other took the lead during the race. They closed ’at the last jump, taking it simultaneously, and Greenaway pulled out on the stretch to win by half a length. P. M. Lewis on “Wings” was third. This close and exciting hit of close racing was typical of the afternoon, when keen competition gave the crowd intense interest. Mrs. John R. DeBergh, on “Tech”, took the .lead in the third race, The Mount Salem, for ladies, and held it to the last jump. At the stretch, Mrs. Greenaway, on “Run Bob”, owned by Manly J. Bruce, broke into the lead and was given a dose finish by Miss Hitchcock of Middleburg, riding Sydney Culver's “Jack Rabbit." Miss Hitchcock did not make her bid until after the final jump, and she was closing Mrs. Greenaway's lead so fast that the crowd held its breath. Georg© Bishop, on Oliver Durant’s “Odd Man", lead most of the way in the fourth race, Hie Rappahannock Bowl, and faded in •the stretch to give the lead to Wade H. Hassle HI on “Cigarette" and John Hartigan on Mrs. Alan D; Kinsley's “Forest Gray” who photo-finished with Hartigan ahead. . Greenaway, tiding “Happy", led all the way, with plenty to spare, in the fifth race, The Mount Marshall. Wesley Dennis was in second place to receive the heavy weight trophy. (Greenaway received the lightweight trophy in the second race.) Sidney Culver took third place. AH .trophies were appropriately engraved and marked with the RH insignia of Rappahannock Hunt, donating all the trophies exoept that for the Battle Run, which was given by Mrs. Maurice Fitzgerald of Washington, D.C. The hound race started with about 25 hounds and Gabe Burke’s ring-necked red came in the winner. Some of the hounds jumped another fox, supposedly, and took off into the mountains and a few didn’t return until Tuesday. It is estimated that a crowd of ever 1500 saw the races and State Trooper Buntin reported an estimate of 350 cars parked. The crowd iwas one of the Ingest ever seen at any event of this kind in the county and reminded some of the days of the horse shows of a few years back. The course was declared excellent and hopes were expressed that the event will become an annual affair; Mr. and Mr*. Hickman Entertain Cancer Drive District Worker* Alfred Hickman, chairman of the Cancer Society for Rappahan- nock county, and Mrs. Hickman entertianed at luncheon Monday, before the Cancer movie shown at Washington theatre* Guests in* eluded Mrs. Augusta Jarman, field worker of? the Cancer Society, with headquarters in Charlotteatille, Mrs. Clark Cullers of Front Royal, volunteer district chairman" of Northern Virginia.

HL Lyna County Agent Results of the outlying com hybrid variety experiment conducted on Charlie Estes’ Schwarts farm last year, while NOT CONCLUSIVE, has aroused much concern over: (1) whether varieties adapted to Rappahannock’s climatic conditions are known; (2) whether blackbirds or, (3) too deep cultivation was the cause of an open pollinated (old type) com nearly equallying and in some cases surpassing the yield from recommended hybrid varieties! To get such factual data was precisely why the experiment was conducted. Of the 15 hybrids grown in the experiment, eight were on .thej recommended list as a result of proven superiority at the Experiment Stations in the Piedmont while others had shown promise. Readers of this column will recall that the com in the Estes experiment was hill dropped aiming at three stalks per hilL Blackbirds proved a decided menace by pulling up many of the young seedlings to eat the sprouted grains. The extent of tills sort of damage of course influenced the results as normally sound methmatical corrections could not in some cases offset the differences in stand. Since one of the principal characteristics by which com hybrids are able to outyield open pollinated com is its larger root system; it is easily understood why TOO DEEP CULTIVATION will reduce yields from corn hybrids or compared to old type corn. When a corn hybrid reaches knee height CULTIVATIONS OVER 2 or 3 inches DEEP WILL DESTROY a large number of corn roots. For this reason farmers are urged to check their cultivator plates while cultivating corn to make sure they are not cutting roots which, if they are, will be hung on the plates. Since one year’s results are not to be taken as conclusive evidence and in view of the importance of conducting the experiment under as identical-conditions as possible, Mr. Estes has agreed to repeating the experiment' in 1951 and we hope again in 1952. D. D. Miller’s veterans’ class assisted in checking the results of the experiment by harvesting the 1950 crop. For tlve coming season it is recommended that our farmers continue planting the hybTid varieties they have found satisfactory. Contestants in the 1950 “100Bushel Corn Contest’’ will dine at the Lee Highway Hotel at Sperryville at 7 o’clock tomorrow evening. These contestants include: Adult division — D. D. Miller, Earl Kilby, Nelson Atkins, Bub Gore, and Stan Weaver; Junior division — Richard Griffith, Kelly Updike, and Newbill Miller. At this time yields will be announced and prizes awarded. Prices include the sterling silber plate donated by Southern States and Rappahannock Supply; the latter organisation will also donate: for first prise one bushel adapted certified corn hybrid seed and %-bushel for 2nd and 3rd in both the adult and junior divisions! D. D. Miller assisted Fred Dreil4ngr associate horticulturist of V. P.J., in establishing the result demonstrations in pruning apple varieties at the tU W. Miller and Joe D. Keyser orchards on March 29, while your scribe was being exposed to the "In Service Training Short Course" at V.P.I. The demonstration will be continued at the John R. Moore orchard and is an integral part of the horticultural goals established by this Sperryville Parents Give Teachers Confidence Vote The Sperryville Parent-Teacher Association at its meeting April 1, unanimously passed the follow* ing resolution: The Sperryville P.-T. Association wishes to express its appreciation for the work of the teachers and believes that the local teachers, individually and as a group are at least equal of teachers in similar localities in training, ability, in interest in the pupils and community. Additional plans were discussed on a clean-up program around the school and through the town. More definite plans-will be made and prizes (will be given for accomplishment. Other discussions concerned report cards for another year and the teaching of religious education in the schools. The parents requested that the teachers vote for a grading system using the A, B, C, D, F, rather than the O, S, U, system. The parents gave their reasons by stating that the fivestep grading system was more easily understood by them than the three-step grading on report cards. The parents also expressed tiie opinion that religious education in the schools was a subject that required Very careful handling, and that they thought the teachers at present handled the situation adequately: Bible stories for the smaller children, and Bible reading and prayer for the older pupils. They said that it would be fine if a class in Bible could be taught in high school, but they did not consider now was the time to set up the program. FRANCES B. THORNTON Acting Secretary Beautification Program .

Rappahannock News FabHshad 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 Rappahannock County High iSchool by Q. D. Last week, an effort was made to deal with the cost of construction of the proposed Rappahannock County High School, the past and present indebtedness of the county due to school building construction, the county and school census, and the enrollment in the white schools in the county since 1940-41. This week, additional questions concerning construction will be discussed in connection with the purpose of and the need for, a new county high school. When the consolidation program for the two high schools was put into effect, it was necessary to transport the pupils regularly enrolled in the fifth, sixth, and seventh grades at Washington to the Sperryville Elementary School center. This required additional transportation expense and also a longer bus route for many pupils. The same situation obtained for those high school pupils who formerly attended the Sperryville High School, but the transportation of high school pupils for longer distances is not as undesirable as adding to the distances elementary pupils are to be transported. This is especially true of the primary grades. For this reason, the primary department consisting of grades one to four, inclusive, was left at the Washington center. The four rooms at Washington used for these t four grades surround the auditorium. When the auditorium is in use by other groups or when it is necessary for groups oi children to move through the auditorium, the efficiency of teaching in these Hour rooms is greatly reduced. If Washington, were used as an elementary center, most of this interference would be eliminated because the school would be organized as an elementary unit rather than as a primary unit and a high school unit, each working on a different time schedule. All other available rooms and spaces are used by the high school department and, in order to get the pupils into the building, the library must be used not only as a library but also as a homeroom, a classroom, and a study hall. The home economics room must serve as a homeroom and the equipment necessary for a home economics room is unsuited for use as a homeroom or for any other purpose other than for the one intended. The business education room is located under the stage. When any activity is being held, on the stage or the auditorium, the noise creates an impossible situation for the efficient use of this business room. The shop class room is constantly in use and, lime*, offers no possibility for tltended Me. There is no epooe in the present building which may be satisfactorily used as a science laboratory. Proper science instruction must include a laboratory if the full advantages of such courses are to bo realised. The auditorium is inadequate and, as aforementioned poorly placed. When the two high schools were brought together, the School Board added business education to the curriculum. This met a long felt need in Rappahannock county and was a step in the right direction towards providing adequate program of instruction for high School pupils. If the desirable outcomes of this program are to be realised, adequate space and equipment are essential. The School Boand hopes to provide adequate shop space so that a gens eral shop program can be made available to any boy in the high school, but present facilities make this impossible except in s limited number of cases. The question hss often been asked, “Why not add to the present facilities, instead of planning s new and separate building?". This question has been discussed for years by the School Board, and the Supervisor of School Buildings, State Department. of Education, has made two inspection trips to determine the feasibility of such an addition. Ha recommended definitely against an addition and presented some of the following facta for his reason: The hasting plant is insufficient in either building to take care of an addition of sufficient sise to provide the additional space needed now to operate a high school program efficiently. Enlarging the auditor rium and making the structural changes necessary would involve a considerable outlay of money and building spaces in an addition immediately behind the auditorium (would be inefficient due to improper lighting. This latter condition could be eliminated only by the use of a corridor and the masonry walls at the rear of toe present' auditorium and toilets could not be used as a part of the addition. In other words, any addition would in reality be a saparate building connected to the present building by means of a corridor. The kitchen and cafeteria facilities iq the present building are scarcely adequate to serve tne present enrollment. The increase in the high school enrollment, and returning the fifth, sixth and seventh grades to the Washington center, would necessitate a new cafeteria in the addition. Another consideration in making an addition to either of the present buildings at Sperryville or Washington is the requirement of an adequate site. The present requirement for a new high school building or for the addition to a high school building is a site of ten acres plus one acre additional for every one hundred pupils enrolled above the first hundred. (Note: The site now owned by the School Board at Flat Woods contains approximately 20 acres.) The School Board then requested an architect to confer with them regarding the possibility of making additions to either of the present plans. The architect pointed out many of the difficulties involved and stated H was his opinion that a suitable addition to either plant would cost almost as much as a new separate building Notice of Proposed Increase in Local Tax Levies <rt»«nPr.HLt0»“eti0n ,'t582 of *he ^ »' !»5». »«tice » hereby given that the Board of Supervisors of Rappahannock Countv Vir SDtheT Tu °” thC 9th ^ °f APRIL’ 1951 at 10:00 o’clock a m. citizens of ?>,HOr ** ** W“hin»ton« Virginia, at which time and place th/f«n f th“ C°U F WiU b* heard by the “W board for or against the following proposed increases in local tax levies for the tax year beginning January 1, 1951: yea County Schools.Ml**" 1951 TT*”* ***» General Fund___ .10 High School Bldg.

The Board believes that the plan proposed will provide adequate apace for a proper high school program within a reasonable cost. The Board also went on record as stating that said high schqpl building must be erected under a contract and at a cost not to exceed a total of $226,000. Of this amount, approximately $100,000 will be received from the School Construction Fund, generally referred to as the “Battle Fund”. In connection with this construction fund, it should be pointed out that the equalization part of this “Battle Fund” can be used only for the construction of n*t buildings. Rappahannock County's share'of the first allottment will he |4,878.55. The equalization fund for the second year has not yet been determined. Sooner or later, an adequate high school building will become such a necessity that further hesitation will be impossible. Why not proceed with this construction now while we are certain of the financial assistance provided by the “Battle FundV?if.i ‘The Time Hoe Come,* | the Walras said . . . Ayei the day of the races was a gala day! The weatherman not only gave his nod of approval, he plumb’ busted a gusset to order up the prettiest day that could have been (wished fori Members of the Rappahannock Hunt should have one of the worst cases of swell-head on reeord. They should sit back and beam. They not only pulled off a good Point-to-Point, but they did it up in fine style! Neighbors from adjoining counties almost raved. Their comments were to the effect that the whole day was one of the best of its kind ever known in this section of the county. They complimenfted the course; they complimented the manner in which the races were arranged and carried^ out; and they enjoyed the races because they were good. The Walrus has often heard “He who tooteth not his own horn, getteth It not tooted.** Well, I'm afraid that those who worked to make the Point-to-Point gaces a success will not do enough "tooting of their own horns,” so, some of the rest of us will have to toot for them. Please consider this a very loud blast. * * * When the time comes to clean, prunings from the orchards, the orchardist wishes he had one of those fancy contraptions that eliminates the burden of moving the branches. The machine just ridesover the brush and chews it up. After the exciting races at Rappahannock Hunt’s Point-to-Point Saturday, the printers at the paper are wishing they had all manner of engraving equipment in order to print all the pictures made of the races. Unfortunately, the country weekly hasfft the fancy equipment of the big city dailies, and engravings take some days to be sent off and returned, and, likewise, photographers require a day or two to do their developing of the pictures—so there we sit. The secretary of Rappahannock Hunt has some fine pictures made during the races. There is one of Wade III with his hat half-way to the ground. The photographer caught the picture just as he was going over a jump and lost his hat. The pictures showed the countryside to be as beautiful as all the age-old bragging of every citizen who ever loved the country.

I thought I had picked up a fragment from a today’s newspaper, when, lo! and behold! it was ‘Written by a man who died in 347 B.C.! Could it be just slightly possible that back in ancient history we might find the answer to some of these modern-day problems? Did they have to face the business of whether or not to build a consolidated school? How did they turn out? Lack-a-dayl Here we fret ourselves into a heat, and we find that the self-same problems were met thousands of years ago—and the world kept on turning. * ¥ * “The codfish lays a million eggs While the helpful hen lays one, But the codfish doesn’t cackle To tell you what she’s done.

In desperation, he decided to spend 50c of every dollar for advertising. Last year he grossed 324-million and spent 312mfilion doing it. Instead of sitting down and crying about how much he had to spend, he asked his Hollywood audience, “is there anything wrong with having 312million left?’’ This year, he expects to spend 330- to 335-million and gross 360- to 370-million.

For those who mentioned the dwindling population, I don’t see what else they could expect when Rappahannock has an inadequate school building . with buses that break down frequently. We don't have a community center of any kind, and it seems that Rappahannock offers very little to encourage the younger generation to stay here. As to the lack of the present quality of instruction, I wonder if these people really think that they are better 'educated thanthe students of today, or if they are merely trying to think of reasons, besides the increase in taxes, for not building the school. 1 am a recent graduate of Sperryville High School, and I have found in competing with many out-of-state students at the College of William and Mary that the quality of instruction I received in high school has not bean a handicap. Instead, I have found my disadvantages in having to spend time taking such courses as typing, which should have been offered in the *»ig*« schools here many .years ago. It seems to me that the people of Rappalymnock should have enough pride to want to see a good school, even if it did mean an increase in taxes.

She attended a private school at "Oak Hill,” home of Mr. and Mrs. Jim Wood.

Wood. farm woodlands by Caleb Pen nock, Jr., Forester If cattle should remain at a high price and beef products should become correspondingly high, would the lumberman who buys beef products be as much victimised as the farmer who buys lumber? Due to the growth rate of timber, the large amount that is being cut each year, and the manner in which it is being cut, trees of saw-timber rise are diminishing throughout our farm woodlands. Because of the improper cutting practiced and general woodland management, these areas will not produce trees of saw-timber size for many years to come. Also, the quality of the future timber will be poorer than before. There is no greater sucker than the fanner who buys lumber at fancy prices which he can avoid buying by making the best use of woodland. But the typical farmer pastures his woodland, sees it diminish and disappear, and buys high priced lumber." Fortunately there are many fanners who have begun to realize the enormous amount of savings gained each year through the proper management of their wood- - lands. Not only will they have plenty of lumber to meet their necessary repairs at the present and in the future, but they also will have enough to sell as stumpage two or three times during their lifetime.

THIS IS NATIONAL THRIFT WEEK -«-•-■ Rappahannock Insurance Agency High ftchoot Graduates Succeed it Unhr. of Va. The generally accepted belief that graduates of Virginia’* public high schools do not fare a* well academically as preparatory school and out>«of-State students at the University of Virginia has been refuted again by the records which they have made during their first two years at the University. Of tiie thirty-five recipients this year of Intermediate Honors, (Honors are conferred on those students who are included on the Dean’s List of Distinguished Students for each semester of their attendance during the first two years!, twenty were graduates of Virginia’s public high schools. The twenty students represent six per cent of the total number • of students enrolled at the University of Virginia from Virginia public , high schools who were eligible for this distinction. This academic superiority comes as ho surprise to members of the University faculty who have followed the records of Virginia public high school men in the University during the papt twenty years. Surprising to some, however, is the fact that non-Virginia publie high schools likewise produced more men wno earned Intermediate Honors, in terms of percentage enrolled, than did preparatory schools, either if Virginia or out of State. Four per cent of the nonVirginia public high school graduates enrolled were included on the ■Honors list. Virginia preparatory schools were represented by two per cent of their graduates elegjble for Honors distinction. Non-Virginia preparatory schools had only onehalf of one per cent. Heading the list of Virginia public schools whose graduates were honored W*fe Lane.High School of Charlottesville with four students. Maury High School of Norfolk with three, and Geo. Washington High School of Dan\ille with two. Reassuring to those who sometimes wonder about the academic success at the University of graduates of -smaller schools is the fact' that seven of the twenty Virginia public high school men receiving Intermediate Honors were graduated from smaller city and county high schools. The list included Poquoson, Falmouth, Tazewell, Varina, .Harrisonburg, Suffolk, and Orange high schools. Authorities at the University regard the record at the University Of students who have graduated from Virginia public schools as evidence of the quality of their preparation, and are increasingly hopeful that more men so qualified will chdose to enter tht University of Virginia in years to come.

DON'T MISS IT! Creel limits Set (or 1961 Virginia's fishermen can start making plana and catting their fishing tackle ready once again. Ike Commission of Game and In* land Fisheries, meeting in executive session at Richmond, set the seasons and creel limits for fresh water fishing in the Old Dominion for 1961. , The trout season will open on April 20 as usual, but the opening time will be changed from 6:80 a.m. to 12:00 o'clock noon. This change is effective only on opening day, and all other days of the season will open at the usual “on« hour before sunrise'' time and close at one hour after sunset. The change to noontime in the opening day schedule is expected to cut down on the number of “gun jumpers" who in them eagerness to fill their creels at the expense of the sportsman, ignore the starting hour and fish the heavily stocked streams under cover of darkness. Although many good reason* were advanced for changing the opening day to May 1, the Commission finally decided that since a large number of sportsmen had timed their vacations to coincide with the usual April 20 opening date, it would cause too much disruption in their plans if the change became effective this year. However, in 1962 the opening date will be May 1. Since the Commission xeit that trout fishing is a sport and not a “meat getting proposition,” and since the trout stocked in Virginia’s streams ‘this year by the Commission were all iwo-yearolds averaging 12 to 18 inches, the creel limit was set at 8 trout in order to spread the fishing opportunity over a greater number of fishermen. Closing date for the trout season will be at one hour after sunset on September 15. In further action during the session, the Commission added 20 days more fishing for the bass) and wall-eyed pike fisherman by moving the opening day on these fish up to June 1 this year, instead of June 20 as in previous, years. Closing dates on bass fishing will he December 31 west of the Blue Ridgte and March 15 east of the mountains. Claytor Lake will have no closed season, except on bass during the months of April and May. Well-eyed pike in the New River will have e season that will extend to March 31. Other actions taken by the Commission, at the session included the closing of certain sections of the South Holston Reservoir and Middle Fork of the Holston River; the agreement to prohibit fishing on Sunday in Botetourt county except in the James River and Garvin’s Cove, and the decision to prohibit fishing of all kinds in Craig and John Creek in Craig county between May 1 and May 81.

Given under my hand this 28rd day of March, 1951. pline.” Beethoven tuui defined music u the “link which connects the spiritusil with (he sensuous life.’* In addition to its existence as sound, music is a means of communication by which something of the processes of a man's inner life is revealed to his fellow men. Music lovers often ask if there are any special qualities, apart from the natural faculties of keenness and the power of attention yahich nature may have given them, that they should cultivate. Apart from the actual ability to read music, the greatest technical need of the music lover is to develop his power of memory. Music is unlike any other art in that it goes past like a flash, and every particular piece may not be immediately available again. One may stand before a piece of sculpture and take one’s time enjoying its details. Even if i piece of music be played over many times, one may not remember all its fine detail; and from one hearing the less experienced listener, however eagerly he may desire to take it in, may well come away baffled. Patience and time are needed, and the cultivation of the memory— not only for tunes, bu£ for whatl the composer does with them—for the structural logic of a music work. A symphonic movement may last a quarter of an hour or more. It is obvious that, only the impatient and thoughtless listener would expect to understand all that such a work had to tell him even after two or three hearings. The best resources of all, un doubtedly, it the power to read th« printed ecore; but that power ■hall not presume to exist among most of ua in Rappahannock, while congratulating those who have cultivated it or are cultivating it. One of the best mottoes that a group of musical amateufrs could adopt would be: “Poco a poco.” Little by little is the right way to tackle any study; and if music is worth our attention at all, it is worth being taken seriously, like hny other study in which we seek to educate ourselves and by which we wish to make of ourselved whole and balanced citizens of the world. Yet music is not, and should not be made, a forbiddingly difficult subject. Our greatest desire should be to make the enjoyment of music poseible. That isthe purpose of the music festival for our county. It is not necessary to know all the big works; we can learn to study examples of the beauties of form, tune, rhythm, program, and) pageantry. We can learn that an understanding of all these, while not absolutely necessary, will increase the listener’s enjoyment County News Notes jj John Turner missed several several days last week from school because of a very badly bruised leg.
