A. held a discussion of how the Battle ’ Fund could be put to use in the county. ok« on ijujn,. vj. v. (jrasqu how the fund can be used in the county. He said that neither the school at Sperryville nos Wasiiington has sufficient acreage, as the State requirement is l , of 10 acres, plus one acre for each 100 children above the first: 100. This is not a requirement of the Battle Fund, but of the State board of education,*fnd the Battle Fund can be used if enough land is available for n«fw> buddings, continued the report. One State requirement says that no rooms can be added dh to a frame building if it has 4 rooms or more. This means Rappahannock county cannot add rooms to the school buddings at Sperryville or Washington, because of tire shortage of land and the construction of the buildings, which are of frame covered with stucco. During the meeting it was stated that Rappahannock county is anxious not to lose the Battle Fund allotment due the 'county, and. attempt will be made to find some way of obtaining the use of the near $100,000.00 •H. B. Whrfrey reported that the number of 5-pointers in the school's health program had inrr saei it from zero-per cent to 16% and that 150 dental corrections This work was paid for by the parents of the children. Miss 'Ruby Jenkins reported that assurance had been given that a State dentist would be in the schools of the county for two months next Fall, conducting a clinic. This dintd will enable corrections to be made with a large saving in cost. ft Urns announced that the school May Day will be held May 1, Tuesday. The program (will be at Rappahannock High exercises. The public is in-vited to attend the exercises and the exact hour of the program will be announced later.

Avon Mills Selected As Music Festival Site The contract has been signed leasing Avon Mills for use for the -summer musie esmpand location for three concerts by the Virginia State Orchestra the first three weeks in August. F. Clyde Baggarly, owner of Avon Mills, states that it was included in the contract to use the name “Avon Mills” in connection with the location of the music camp. A deed dated 1852, when the property was sold by the Jett family, shows that the old mill was known as Avon Mills, and Mr. Baggarly wishes the name to be retained. Actually, the name Avon goes back into the 1700‘s, when a lord Effington received the land in a grant and referred to it ais Avondale, the name of his home in England. Mr. Baggdrly’s effort - to keep the name preserves a 200year-old title in the county. The contract Iwas signed Saturday, April 14, by Mr. Baggarly and 'William Heaker, conductor of the Virginia Symphony Orchestra. Work of restoration on the old Mill—Avon Mills—will begin as soon as possible in order to be reedy for the concerts, beginning August <6 and running for three weeks. Paul A. Walker, general contractor, is in charge of the restoration. Swan Announces New Ferguson Dealership The latest announcement from J. A. Swan, Jr., A Co., of Culpeper is that they are now an authorized agency for Ferguson traitors and farming equipment, sales and service. “Hearing all about the 5-star General Mac Arthur, reminded us that now we are a 5-star dealer— Oliver, New Holland, Frigidaire, Jeep, and Ferguson," stated J. Douglas Swan of J. A. Swan, Jr., A Co. “We’ve been in business for 50 years,” continued Mr. Swan, “and a great deal of thought and planning was given before we took this dealership. Our decision was reached after we found how well it (works in with our other lines. It m>w~ gives us farm equipment from the smallest tractors, and price ranges through a large line of wheel type, gas and diesel tractors, into the big crawlers. It now means a complete line, of equipment under one roof for the customer.” Mi*. Swan reiterated that this was no temporary" move, it is a permanent dealership, and the first order for parts had gone in and some were already on hand. “Service behind the equipment,” has always been our policy,” Mr. swan stated. “There are five men here who have serviced farm equipment for J. A. Swan, A Co., for a total of store than 100 years,” he said.

As a result of lack of farmer . interest.in .1950 . the -Rappahannock Agronomy Committee decided at its January meeting that the “100 Bushel Corn Club" had fulfilled its purpose in stimulating “higher corn yields per acre on less acres’’ and thus would not sponsor the contest this year. However, at the Corn Club banquet held last week members reported more interest in their respective communities than in the past and suggested it be continued in 1951. The Agronomy Committee and its co-sponsor Rappahannock Supply are anxious to continue their effort to stimulate corn yields and thus a 1951 CONTEST WILL BE* HELD PROVIDED A MINIMUM OP FIFTEEN ADULT AND JUNIOR FARMERS APPLY FOR MEMBERSHIP! Rules and regulations for 1951 will be the same as those for last year. Each adult farmer must enter a minimum of three adjacent acres in adapted corn hybrid, while 4-H and FFA members must have.a minimum of one acre of corn. The membership fee for adults is $5.09, while that for junior farmers is $1. Membership fees are to cover costs of banquet and the remainder to be divided among win. tiers. Last year’s (winners and awards were as follows: Adult—Earl Kilby, 117 bushels per acre; 2nd Nelson Atkins, 118 busheis per acre; 3rd D. D. Miller, 106 bushels per acre. Junior—1st Kelly Updike, 98.7 bushels per acre; 2od Richard Griffith, 90.0 bushels per acre; 3rd, Newbill Miller, 89.0 bushels per acre. Rappahannock Supply gave a bushel of adapted certified seed com to each first place winner and a half bushel to each making the "Second and third highest yield. T. W. Wood and Sons also gave seed corn as awards to all participants. While the Virginia-North Carolina ‘corn war’ has been discontinued—(getting beat two successive years was just too much for the Tar Heels) farmers of this Stalte have been asked to increase their total com yield 2% this year as a contribution towards the war effort. Rappahannock farmers are a patriotic lot, so by trying to make a higher corn yield this year they will be doing something for their country as well as for themselves. Agronomy Committee Announces Prizes H. S. Barksdale, chairman of the Rappahannock Agronomy Committee, announces that prizes for the Quality Pasture Club of Rappahannock will be as follows: 1st prize about $60.00 worth of fertilizer; 2nd prize $40.00 in fertilizer; 3rd prize $20.00 in seed and lime and 4th and 5th prizes $10.00 in seed. Prizes will be awarded to farmers having the highest percentage of improved pasture capable of affording 200 days grazing for one cow, or the equivalent of one cow, per acre. There is no entry fee! inese prizes were made available through the following firms as indicated. Rappahannock National Bank $37.80; Flint Hill National Bank $15.00; Culpeper National Bank $25.00; Second National Bank of Culpeper $25.00, Culpeper Farm Bureau a ton of 2-12-12 fertilizer. Prizes are to be applied to or In connection with establishing improved pastures. While there are a number of high quality pastures in Rappahannock censue figures of 1945 indicated about 4.5 acres were necessary to. support miitee and its co-sponsors therefore feels this acreage is too high for efficient livestock production and that it is high time an aH-out pasture improvement program be launched. , Last year aproximately 500 acres was seeded to Ladino-Orchard grass or Ladino Fescue pasturage. On March 1 of th)k year, Earh Yancey, chief clerk of PMA reported farmers planned to seed over 700 additional acres. It all boils down to this: If its more security you want-— If its eye appeal you’d like— If its conservation you need— If its the satisfaction of taking part, or— if ita doing something for posterity— YOU can have any or all these through establishing Quality Pastures. ■ - - : For further details the contest see H. 8.

The Lady’s Not For Burning At the present moment, famine stalks countless millions Man has managed to destroy harvests, dismantle agricultural machinery and disrupt shipping sufficiently for a decade to throw the world’s economic system completely out of whack. Man is man’s worst enemy. Well, almost.' Medicine’s aim, on the other hand, is to see that more people live until they have hud their fill of life. This requires endless research. Is it'worth the money: that is, your money—not the other fellow’s? When anaesthetics were invented, some people denounced them as an attempts to thwart God’s will. But perhfcps in the end they were grateful for the boon. For endless centuries; lunatics were treated to systematic and conscientious brutality. Demons inhabited those who (were mad and were only to be driven out by inflicting terrible pain. These ages appear strange to us. Perhaps our age will appear strange to future generations,^ for we have our own set of demons under other names. We are subject to many, false beliefs; beliefs as fantastic as those of the 17th Century when all believed in demons, and black magic, and witchcraft. To not believe in witches was heresy—for a witch rode a broom and injured her neighbors from malice and sheer hatred and not from any desire for gain. It explained many misfortunes. Science, today, has given some insight into natural causation and has dissapated the general belief in magic. But the basic fears which grave rise to those beliefs are still with us. Now men often succeed (without sacrificing their self importance) in explaining many of the misfortunes to which they are subject. But sometimes the misfortune befalls the whblly virtuous. What are we to say to that case? Shall we blame a witch? Since none of us is wicked by hypothesis, this must be due to some malice, some hatred—rather than the hope of gain. Witches were burned. There is a Biblical warrant for this, for the Bible says: “Thou shall not suffer a witch to live.” Cancer is a sort of witch. We should not suffer it to increase every year as it does. Science tries to burn this witch with drugs, and radium, and x-rays. But there must be a better way. The quota for medical research is, in this county, only $500. But despite this terrible witch that threatens us all, rich or poor, young or old, only a few have contributed so far. Please don’t wait to be asked.

Selective Service Delinquents Defined Local boards in Virginia and throughout the country are posting in their offices rosters of Se' USSR# Setfvifeff dr$tfi«WMar4t' was revealed by State headquarters for Selective Service this week. “A ‘delinquent’ is s person required to be registered under the selective law woh fails or neglects to perform any duty required of him under the provisions of the Selective Service Law." That definition is a direct quote from seleeAny nude person residing within tha jurisdiction of n local board who is not on active duty with the armed forces hut who has reached his eighteenth birthday is n delinquent if he fails to register. Sneh duty is required of him by the Selective Service Law. It is also true that any male who has reached his ninebirthday bat who has not attained the age of twenty-six, residing within the joradietioa of s local heard, is a delinquent if ho is required to register and has fhfltd to do so, or If he has failed te perform any set qr duty lawfully required of him by the local board. Failure of tho it to perform such act or 4«t| bectuM he did not receive the communication from hit local board is uo excuse, provided the local board mailed the communication to the last known address of the registrant. The registrant is required to keep his local board infprmed of his current address at all times. * Selective Service regulations state as follows: “If a registrant or a person required to present himself for snd submit to regiertation foils to perform any duty prescribed by the Selective Service law, or directions given pursuant thereto, within the required time, he shall be liable to fine and imprisonment under Section 12 of the Selective Service Act of 1948.’* This section of the law prescribes punishment, “ .-. . by imprisonment for not more than live years or a fine of not more than flO,000.00 or both fine and imprisonment . . . ** Unless the registrant immediately presents convincing evidence to his local hoard which will enable it to relieve him of the charge, the local board is required by law to order the registrant for induction. If he does not report for induction in accordance with his induction order, the local board is again required by law to report the registrant to the United States Attorney. I" i « The Time Ha* Coma,' the Walras said There's'no reason to doubt the fellow in any part of his story. Is there man or boy in Rappahannock county iwho hasn’t been tempted to bury half the seeds he was designated to plant? A couple of youngsters were sent out to plant corn-field beans. It was a beautiful day, made-toorder for fishing,^ not for planting beans down tile long rows in the cornfield. The lads got down the length of the corn row, and found that the trip ended beside a nice sassafras patch on the otheT side of the rail fence. It was more than a boy’s nature could stand in the face of such temptation. All remaining bean-seeds were hurled beneath the loving shelter of those sassafras bushes. "We dared not tell pa,” said one of the lads, “for we knew we’d be tarred for fair!” “But, would you believe it,” he continued, “every one of those beans came up in the sassafras patch? Yes, sir. Finest crop of beans I ever saw. You could just crawl around under those sassafras^bushes and gather the beans in clusters. And not a single bean came up in the corn field.” It’s high time these lazy birds (and I mean the feathered ones) began to scout for their own food. I enjoyed feeding them all winter. There was a feeding station outside the dining room window. Redbirds, downy woodpeckers, chicka-dees, a titmouse and another titmouse, (I don’t know whether to say tit-mice or tit-mouaes) joined us for meals. Mr. Downy Woodpecker, also called treecreeper and sap-sucker, feasted on suet. Mr. Redbird preferred the' grain. The chickadees ate both, and so did Mr. and Mrs. Titmouse and the white-throated sparrow. But it is noiw time for them to begin .to find their own food. The other day we had let the feeder dwindle in supplies., and what did the spoiled birds do but ait outside the window and cuss us out.! They let us know—in a language we did not comprehend but in tones unmistakable—that we were so-and-so’s from way back and had been for several generations! I did not appreciate their impertinence, and I surely condemnthem for their lack of appreciation. Think of the expense, time, and trouble wasted upon them all winter. Yea, I bought more feed.

It depends upon what newspaper yon read was one ef the bits hurled ot the complaining crusader. There are the sensational scandal-sheets—a few—but the papers of America, as a rule, are clean, and they are interested in the community in which they are located. More often than not, they pot forth every effort for the good of the community, and they art inclined — partially through civic pride and partially through consideration of the families of criminals—to overlook and play down, rather than play up, any crime in their localities.

He reads about the weddings and snorts like all get out; He reads the social doin’s with a most derisive shout, He says they make the papers for the women folks alone; He’ll read, about the parties and . he’ll fume and fret and groan. He says of information it doesn’t have a crumb— But you ought to hear him holler when the paper doesn’t come. He is always first to .grab it and he reads it plumb clean thru.

The average homemaker walk* more than 3,000 mile* every year doing housework, washes 81,270 dishes and prepares more than 1,060 meals for her family. - For these reasons, say home demonstration specialists at VPI, a convenient kitchen should have a high priority in home improvement plans. Here are a few suggestions: Casseroles, saucepans, seasoning, and other items used first at the range should be stored near the range. Supplies end utensils used for * water should be placed near the sink. Glass and china used to serve " food should be near the range to make food service easier. Heavy items which are used frequently should be located as near the counter level as possible. Lighter items can be placed above or below the counter level. Fresh fruit and vegetables should be stored as near the sink as possible. Perishables should be stored in the refrigerator. Items of the same size and shape can be stacked. Items of graded size such as mixing bowls should not be stacked. Entertain at “Erin” Jffn. R. S- Wood entertained at dessert bridge Wednesday evening, having as guests Mrs. T. C. Lea, Mrs. Wade H.

A LITTLE OF THIS & THAT by easily b. miller Clean-up day is over as a pTOSram sponsored by the town council and mayor of ‘‘she town”, but 'we hope it is always going to be clean up day in the minds of the people of our town and county. We all know what fun has been had in joking and talking about “SHE TOWN”, but the ladies do deserve credit for the work they have done since last Sept 1. Of course some men are still dubious about “She Town” overhearing a telephone conversation the other day I heard a Man About the Country remark “gotta” get out’a this town “look what’s happened to Lee Thornton since his wife (went to work in “She Town”. * * ¥ A lady from a neighboring town waa very angry over the lack of chairs and heat in the clerk’s office Friday, seems she was doing some research work, she was tired, her feet were killing her and she was freezing to death. I tried to explain to the lady that it was clean-up day and more peopie were in town than usual to help, “Well tell them all they need around here is chairs and heat.” All right “Court House Gang” it’s up to you now! » » * * ¥ Seems Mr. D. Lyle hates to see all the nice pretty young ladies getting married, but instead of weeping Mr. D. Lyle is making the best he can of a sorry situation and giving them all a big kiss. All he asks for now is more brides. * * * ' Besides being named the “Peaches and Cream Widow,” Mrs. W. Price has another name, it was given to her by the children of the high school—she is now called “THE SHERIFF”. * * * Talking to W. C. Campbell the other day he informed us he had been very fortunate in locating a mule in Tennessee, just exactly what he wanted to hunt next season. # * * 5 p.m. Mrs. Buntin on her way home from work, offices closing for the day all over town. The children playing base ball and wishing to .goodness the. apples would hurry and grow just a little bit, they have forgotten their stomach aches of last Spring7 The" fish are biting good, and the water in the old swimming hole iwill soon be fine. The children agree that Spring is wonderful, and I agree too. Don't forget the white elephant ■ale the court house gang is having Saturday at 7:30, right across the street from the movie house in Washington, and if you have anything saleable you would like to give the ladies, please call Washington 2461 or 2231. The money from the sale will be used to improve YOUR county court house. * * * Leaving the ridiculous for the sublime, as we have often heard a friend of ours say. There have been a great many questions,— “Why did you write “If The Cap Fits’?" It was written very innocently. Gossip has the power to murder, steal, and crucify; it is as powerful as war. In my opinion it is almost as serious as war, rape, or any horrible crime you read about in your big city newspapers. Wonder if the gossiper himself realises what he or she is doing at the time they are so sensational by being so noticeable to the crowd gathered around. Does the gossip realize that humanity would really be much better off if he would “hush" go home and work the garden or cook dinner. There are so many small and big things to do, and the time is so short in which you can do them. I have often heard an old saying from the older folks, “People who live in glass houses should not throw stones." This column is not a crusade againqt gossip, but as I wrote before—“Does the cap fit?—if so wear it. . Back to Spring, the most wonderful time of the year. The flowers are blooming, the world is beautiful, just let’s all thank the Lord for the wonderful place we live in and keep right on rejoicing, not complaining.

There were no movies, no airplanes, no automobiles, few bathrooms, practically no efficient electrical appliances. If you contracted diabetes or pernicious anemia, your days were numbered: Your blood just "changed to sugar” in the former, "to water” -in- the latter. There was little protection against virulent epidemics. Smallpox vaccine was the only biological on the market. When diphtheria or typhoid ravaged a community, there was nothing to do but wait it out in hope and dread. Yes, a return to the "good old days” would mean, among other things, the sacrifice of the major portion of the contribution of medicine and pharmacy to your health - and well-being.

Soil Saver Notes Bjr L. B. Henretty Laying out and marking of contour lines for rotations in contour strips continues to be the most important practice to be carried out at this season by the technicians of the Culpeper Soil Conservation District. _____ In Culpeper county, Cahin McCloud, whose farm is located be> tween Slate Mills and Reva, has marked an additional 20 acres of land which he recently acquired, to be established in a contour strip rotation. Carl L, Padgett, Amissville, has established approximately 22 acres in contour strips. Rappahannock county farmers recently establishing rotations in contour strips on sloping land include Jim Yates, Peola Mills, 20 acres; C. R. Wire, “The Shade” approximately 80 acres; H. L. ManwarWng, Rudasills Mill, an additional 35 acres. On all of the above farms all natural draws and swails are being left in sod for a sod waterway. The sod waterway is wide enoug^i to carry the surplus run-off water from the field without erosion damage to a safe disposal point. Tillage tools are lifted when crossing these waterways so the grass will not be destroyed. The edge of the waterway is purposely left ragged to retard the formation of gullies wh$re the sod of the waterway joins the cultivated land. Maintaining sod waterways is largely a matter of continued care and common sense. In addition to lifting or straightening harrows, disc, and tillage implements when crossing, care should be taken never to plow parallel to the waterway. The stand of grass should be limed, fertilized and mowed when necessary. In some cases where the waterway is large enough to justify it, the grass and clover is mowed for hay. Use NEWS Classified Ad.
