Pawnee Bros. Circus To Show Here Monday —Pawnee Bros. -Circus is- coming— to Washington Monday, April 30, for afternoon and evening performances at 3 and 8 p.m. Doors open one hour earlier to allow time to inspect the big menagerie. The circus is under the auspices of Rappahannock Volunteer Fire Co. This is the first circus to show in Washington for a number of years. Clowns are the comic strips and cartoons to the Pawnee Bros. Circus. They brighten the performance the same way Micky Mouse and Donald Duck enliven your movie programs. Their merry interludes relieve the tension of thrilling aerialists and acrobatic feats and exciting animal acts. But make no mistake about the clowns work being a snap. The ability to make people laugh nowadays is an altogether exacting art and calls for a keen knowledge of human psychology and great gifts of originality. Lake tne cartoonist, the clown draws many of his ideas from current happenings and the humorous foibles of human nature. He must express his ideas in the simplest possible terms so that the audience can get the idea at a fleeting glance. He must exaggerate and distort but always with the expert skill of a caricaturist. Pawnee Bros. 'Circus carries an imposing aggregation of clowns of all sorts arid sizes, headed by American and European buffoons of world renown. Among which are Frank Qppie, Billy Winters and Irish McGee.

Rappahannock News Published 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 BE THANKFUL! "B*- thankful «»«ry moraine_ when you get up that you ban something to do that day which must be done, whether you like it or not. Being forced to work, and forced to do your best, will breed in you temperance and self-control, diligence and strength of will, cheerfulness and content, and a hundred virtues which the idle never know. —Charles Kingsley * * * * The Mountaineer A recent magazine carried an article ab^ut the Kentucky mountaineer and declaimed him as something rather unusual, picturesque, and antique because he still retains his love of personal freedom. If a retention of love of freedom is a characteristic of the mountaineer, then most of tne citizens of Rappahannock are going to qualify. Like that Kentucky ■variety, described in the magazine article, the man in Rappahannock, also, considers his castle his home, and he feels that his rights of being his own boss were given to him by his sires back in 1776. The only alarming angle seen in this magazine article is the one that gives the writer reason to think it unusual for an American to be set apart—marked diffeaent —by .believing in personal freedom. The writer explains that the Kentucky mountaineer “m o o nshiner” took up his trade when he had to compete with corn-producers in the rich low-lands. The rocky, mountainous farm land would not raise the quantity and quality of corn which the low-land farmer could produce, so the mountaineer turned his corn into a marketable product, sometimes referred to as “white lightning.” The mountaineer resented the revenue officer, for the officer was looked upon as one who was interfering with the mountaineer’s earning a living. The mountaineer saw no difference in shooting the "revenuer” any more <*5han he would become squeamish about shooting a chicken-thief; each was depriving him of his livelihood. Though most of us in Rappahannock no longer make a living by production of “white lighti ning”, or “mountain dew”, or whatever it may be termed, twe begin to fear excessive taxes imposed by a far-removed government in the same line of thought. We acknowledge our responsibilities to the banded-together states in the .union; we recognize and accept responsibility toward the care of indigent and aged; we know our duties to protect our country when its freedom is threatened by outside military forces. What we are beginning to fear most is our loss of freedom toy excessive taxes and a wasteful government handling of public funds. A few scholars Will tell us that such was one of the first causes listed in the fall of ancient republics. It is difficult for freedom-loving people (and here we shall proudly align ourselves with the Kentucky mountaineer) to understand how this threat to our frefedom has crept so insiduously into the ruling forces of the nation. YOU CAN TAKE THE BOY OUT OF THE COUNTRY — (But you can’t take the Country out of the boy). The mails are loaded to the gills ■with cards announcing such tripe as this: “Only fl brings you seven months of this magazine of New York that people everywhere are reading, enjoying, talking about!

The sophisticated New Yorkers will never read this — and they Iwouldnt believe it, anyway—and they will continue to pity me lor my ignorance and for the lamentable lot that has befallen, causing me to take up my abode in the wiljis of the mountains. Dear Mr. New-York-magazine7-months-for-Sl: The fact that people everywhere are reading and talking about your magazine isn’t quite enough recommendation. Everybody read and talked about “Tobacco Road” once, too, but I can’t say I enjoyed it. As for it being “an exciting discovery,” we are used to those. Or have you ever gone to a neighbor's house and found the youngsters playing “Annie-Over” with a butcherknife ? That, too, was “an exciting discovery,” but I’d not care Tor seven months of it for $1. “Intimate, revealing arucies about colorful New York personalities”—phew! Don’t embarrass us. Intimate, revealing articles, besides being extremely vulgar, are more than likely also poor taste. And why insult me by insinuating I’d be interested? As for “colorful personalities,” I’m sorry to have to tell you, Mr. New Yorker, but your proportion of such is so far outshone by t.ie proportion in my home county of Rappahannock, that you can’t find me exhibiting much enthusiasm. You see, sir, out of your millions of citizens, you find a sufficiently small number of “colorful personalities” to justify your writing an article on one or a dozen-or-so of them. Here in Rappahannock, (with a population around 6,000, we have so many personalities— and “colorful” is a mild adjective —that if we began now and printed ten in every edition of the paper, we wouldn’t even have caught up with the older generation by tne end of the present decade. Your photos, which you say capture all the excitement and variety of New York, wouldn’t stand a chance right now against the views I see each day. You see, sir, your skyscrapers give you no chance to see the mountains in purple-blue after a rain, and you may continue to gaze upon your magnificent structures of steel and glass—this morning I can look upon apple orchards coming into bloom. Why didn’t you send me this attractive card during the winter months, (when the world was more drab in appearance? I'm sorry, sir, but right now, with Rappahannock county around me as beautiful as it is, I find I can’t work up much enthusiasm for your city excitement. \*The Time Hat Come/ j i | I the Walru» said ... : 11 s With a circus coming into the county for the first time in many years, sortie of the local folks got to reminiscing about the olden days when the arrival of the circus was a gala day. One fellow remembers hearing about the mighty Barnum being in Rappahannock. The circus played a stop-over between Front Royal and Culpeper, and word spread throughout the hills and hollows about the big circus. One Rappahannock native arrived already fortified with sufficient spirits to guarantee a pleasant evening. He walked up toxthe tiger cage. He’d never seen a tiger before. “Nice kitty, come-’ere, kitty,” he greeted the caged animal. Everything would have been fine, but some of the circus men tried to get the fellow away from the cage with the “nice kitty” in it. He objected. The whole story wound up on a free-for-all fight, between the circus men and the local talent. About 30 got locked up in the jail at Washington (no partiality shown, circus men and local voters alike) and the great Barnum’s circus had to borrow money to get the crew bailed out, so they could continue their travels to“neighbor Theatre Shows start at 7:15 and 9 P.M.

By the hardest, high school algebra was' Anally placed as a credit on my record, but my record was no credit to the teacher. This national debt business is so far beyond my thinking, that I’m very quiet when it is a topic of conversation. No use displaying any more ignorance than necessary. But a man the other day explained those big figures in a nice simple language so I could understand it. of a billion is this: “If 779 years before the birth of Christ, a man had borrowed a billion dollars— without interest—and had started the next day to pay it baefc at the rate of $1,000 a day, he would have made his final payment on January 1, 1941.” Gee! think what a relief it must have been to him to get out of debt at lastl * * * If you want to forget all your troubles, wear tight shoes. * * * A group of ministers and a salesmen's organization were holding conventions in the same hotel, recounts the Detroit Free. Press. The catering department was working at top speed, serving dinners to both. The salesmen were having “spiked watermelon” for dessert, but the harrassed chef discovered this alcoholic tidbit was being served to the ministers by mis XHKC. “Quick,” he said to the waiter. “If they haven’t eaten the watermelon, 'bring it back and we’ll give it to the salesmen.” The Iwaiter reported that it was too late—the minister^ were eating the prized dessert. “Well,” demanded the excited chef, “what did they say? How did they like it? “Don’t know how they like it,” the waiter said, “but they’re all putting the seeds in their pockets.” # * * A letter to the editor in a city paper the other day made this statement: “It is a sad commentary that a great military General went through all those battles unscarred to be kicked by a Missouri mule.” Just think of it: one of our good men in Rappahannock has been reporting weekly to the local paper about his trips far and wide, trying to locate a mule. He said he was going to Texas, to Arkansas, and various other remote spots, looking for a mule. ’Tis sad to think of all that wasted time and effort, if it is- true that he could have located the braying, ill-begotten animal only 68 miles from his own front door. , An Appreciation The Woman’s Society of the Methodist church of Flint Hill wishes to say how much they enjoy and appreciate the Church Directory in the paper.

County Agent Receives Copies of *50 Farm Census I»y W. H. Lyne, County Agant Preliminary copies of the 1950 Farm Census received at the county agent’s office show pertinent data as to progress and production trends some of the most outstanding being as follows: per acre corn yield increased an amazing 34 per cent (from 32.6 bushels to 43.8 bushels per acre)! Acreage and total yield were reduced by 3424r acres and 45,677 bushels. Our topography generally speaking is not adapted to corn and “more corn from less acres” has been the theme of the, Agronomy Committee. While the acreage in alfalfa remained the same- the yield ^er acre more than doubled. I wish to congratulate you farmers on the above,, however urge that you strive towards doubling the alfalfa acreage as well as the yield. While the total value of all products sold was a bit lower in 1943 than 1944, the value of live-t stock and livestock products other than dairy and poultry almost doubled. Value of fruits and nuts sold was only a third of that five years earlier. Value of horticultural specialties sold have not been determined to date. Figures in livestock numbers are not comparable due to the difference in time of year the census were taken. Value of livestock and livestock products had i ncreased to nearly a million and a quarter dollars. More Com Needed For Defense The 1951 corn crop is getting off to an uncertain start. At least that’s the fact according to a report from the Production and Marketing Administration which indicates that growers intend to plant only 95 per cent of the corn acreage guide. National and State acreage guides iwere established by the U.S. Department of Agriculture earlier thia year to assure sufficient feed grains for livestock production. Except for corn, most of Virginia’s grain acreage was already seeded at that time. The production guide for corn in Virginia is 1,180,000 acres, and the PMA report shows that farmers intend to plant 1,128,000 acres or 96 per cent of the guide. R. B. Bridgforth, State Production and Marketing Administra-. tion chairman, in his capacity as head of the State Agricultural Mobilization Committee asks Vit-> ginia farmers not only to reach, but to exceed the State acreage. He also asks for increased yields. In most sections of the State, there is a certain amount of idle cropland suitable for corn without disturbing pasture or other crops, Bridgforth said.

Use a hybrid adapted to your county. 2. Prepare a good seedbed and plant corn about an inch deep. 3. Be sure the soil has enough nitrogen, phosphate and potash, the exact amount depending on soil fertility, whether manured, and whether a legume was turned. For average soils, the use of 600 to 900 pounds of a complete fer-. tilizer, as recommended by your County Agent, and 60 to 80 lbs. of nitrogen should) produce 76 to 100 bushels of corn. 4. Plant corn for a final stand of 12,000 to 16,000 stalks per 5. Cultivate shallow. I Bridgforth pointed out that despite a large corn crop last year, a record in Virginia, there is nevertheless need for still more this year. He explained that livestock numbers are increasing rapidly due to the high demand for meat brought about partly by the national emergency. This demand has forced the Nation to draw heavily on our reserve corn supply. It is estimated that reserve com stocks on October 1, 1951, the beginning of the marketing year, will be one third less than a year ago. For this reason, Bridgforth said that a 1951 crop national acreage guide of 90,000,000 acres has been set. That is 6,000,000 more than was planted in 1950. Virginia was also asked to produce more soybeans for beans. According to March planting intentions, State farmers will probably plant 148,000 acres of soybeans. That (would be 6 per cent more than the 1951 guide of 140,000 and well above the 133,000 acres planted last year.

B. Henretty Much wet, swampy land in Culpeper and Rappahannock Counties are being reclaimed this year by open ditch drainage systems. Farmers are realizing more and more the importance of utilizing each acre on tile farm for the purpose for which it is best suited. Poorly drained acres not only contribute nothing to the farm income but they bring about inconveniences and frequently encourage mos-uitoes. Open ditches constructed according to specifications are more easily maintained and arenvore— effective in draining the land. Farmers constructing such ditches may be reimbursed at the rate of 12c per cubic yard for dirt moved not to exceed $100.00. Soil Conservation Service technicians working in co-operation with the Culpeper Soil Conservation District assist farmers in locating their ditch lines and outline tne specifications for the particular conditions. Technicians also assist farmers in determining the type of equipment that is best suited for accomplishing the work. Heavy equipment for moving dirt may be rented from local contractors who are experienced in the' various conservation jobs. _ Bernard Inskeep, dairyman, Rapidan; J. Carlton Clore and Clyde Deaver, beef cattleman and,' dairyman respectively, both located near Culpeper, have added to their network of open ditches this spring. '‘Land that was wet last summer is noiw growing excellent Ladino Clover and Orchard grass pasture,” says Clyde Weaver. Twenty-six additional landowners have requested assistance in farm drainage from Soil Conservation technicians so far this year. Child Labor On Farms Under Wage-Hour Law Employment of children under 16 years of age for work in the strawberry, spinach, bean, tomato and potato fields or for other agricultural work, if the crops are shipped either directly or indirect^ ly out of the state, is subject to the child labor provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act (Wage and Hour Law), it was pointed out today by William M. Eaves, Regional Director of the U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour and Public Contracts Divisions. Eaves explained that the law sets no limit for the agricultural employment of children if the employment is after school hours in the district, or if the children are employed by their parents on their parents’ farms. The law furthermore exempts children in agricultural employment from its minimum wage and overtime provisions. Eaves said that prospective employers of children of doubtful age could protect themselves from unwitting violation of the law by having on file a proof-of-age certificate for each employed child. Such certificate can be obtained by the prospective employee from a local school official. “The law as amended, effective January 25, 1950,” Eaves said, “prohibits the employment of children under 16 years of age in interstate agriculture during the hours that .school is in session in the district in which they live. It applies equally to resident as well as to migratory child labor.” Jloohina loti a aaod USED CAR DON’T MISS THESE BEAUTIES 1940—CHEVROLET Fleetmaster, 4-dr..$ 895 1948—CHEVROLET Fleetline, 4-dr. _ 1195 1948—CHEVROLET 5-passenger coupe_ 1095 1948—CHEVROLET Fleetline, 2-dr. 1195 1948— CHEVROLET, Fleetmaster, 5-passenger_ 1150 1949— CHEVROLET, Fleetline, 2-dr, .. 1395 1936— CHEVROLET, 4-dr. _ ____ 150 1937— CHEVROLET, Coupe_— _____ 150 1950—CHEVROLET Ms-ton Pick-up_1150 1949—DODGE Ms-ton Pick-up, with-stake racks__' 1095 1947—Sedan Delivery ____750 1947—FORD Ms-ton Panel ....... 695 1938—CHEVROLET 1-ton Pick-up___ 125 A FEW OLDER MODELS — PRICED TO SELL LOOK THEM OVER! ^ PARKWAY CHEVROLET, INC.

Nearly Million Americans Own Washington Address More than 900,000 people live in the 38 comunities of the United States which bear the place name of Washington, according to figures taken from preliminary 1950 census population reports issued by the Bureau of the Census, U. S. Department of Commerce. For 29 of these places, the Census Bureau has compiled 1950 population counts. Nine other places bearing the name of the country’s first president also are listed as post offices. However, population figures are not available for them because they are unincorporated places without boundaries. The largest of the Washingtons is the national capital with 802,178 inhabitants; the smallest is Washington, Nebraska, with 56 inhabitants. Second in population si*e is Washington, Pennsylvania, with 25,994 inhabitants. Washington, Indiana, ranks third with 10,987; Washington Courthouse, Ohio, fourth with 10,543; and Washington, N. C., fifth with • 9,698. Washington, Virginia, outshines all the others for a number of seasons: (1) it enjoys the unique privilege of being located in Rappahannock county; (2) it is the “First Washington”—until somebody proves it isn’t; (3) it is the only Washington governed solely by ladies; and (4) it is the only Washington where the mayor received a letter addressed “Washington, near Woodville, in the U. S. A.” Twelve of the Washingtons each have more than 2,500 inhabitants, the Census Bureau’s base figure for classifying municipalities as urban. There also is a Washington in each of 31 states.

ROY JONES OPTOMETRIST — JEWELER — OPTICIAN Culpeper, Va. Davis Street Telephone's 75th Birthday Marks Vast Growth in Communications Alexander Bell's Invention Transformed U. S. Pattern of Living Telephones of Yesterday—The telephones shown above are representative of the types of instruments used by Bell System subscribers from 18*7 to 1900. The 1877 box (upper left) was sometimes as much as 14 inches long. You could talk and listen over the same instrument The dignified 1891 wall model (third from the left at bottom) made the telephone an ornament in any home. These are rarities now and have been sought by antique dealers at fabulous prices. Three-quarters of a century ago a young inventor, working with his assistant in an attic - laboratory in Boston, Massachusetts uttered seven words into a crude transmitter and in that instant the teletftione was born. That young inventor was Alexander Graham Bell who early in the 1870’s conceived the idea that if he could generate an electrical current that would vary in intensity as the air varies in density when a sound is passing through it he could transmit spoken words by wire. Working on that theory, Bell succeeded in transforming his idea into a reality—the telephone— a conveyor of speech by wires. Despite1 the fact that on March 10, 1876, Bell’s instrument was the only speaking telephone in al) the universe capable of transmitting one sentence a distance of only 40 feet in one-direction, the scientist •had great faith in his invention and prophesied a useful future for it It is doubtful, however, that even Bell could foresee, 75 years ago, that the telephone would transform the whole pattern of living in the United States and to some extent in the world at large. ^ Tdday the world’s telephones number 70.3 million. In the U. S. A. alone, 35 million Bell telephones are carrying an average of 140 million two-way conversations a day, with calls being made no( only between homes and offices all over the land, bat from automobiles, railroad ears, locomotives, yachts, harbor craft, ships at sea and airplanes. Telephones operated by some 6,600 Independent companies bring the total in America to 48 million, and build the calling rate to about 170 million conversations a day—or more than 1,900 every second. Astonishing as the progress of telephony has been in the last 75 years, the fastest growth and some of the most notable technical achievements have taken place within the past decade. In that time the number of telephones in the U. S. A. has doubled. “Coaxial cable” has become a familiar term and an extreftiely important advance in providing superhighways for carrying long distance calls and television programs. Microwave radio relay transmission has come into being as part of long distance and television networks. Recent years also have seen the advent of operator toll dialing which has helped meet the heaviest demand ever experienced for more and faster long distance service. The tremendous development in telephone art since Alexander Graham Bell first transmitted the spoken work by wire is tribute to ceaseless scientific research and to the loyalty and skill of hundreds of thousands of men and women who build and operate the voiceways of America. These things plus the confidence of nearly a million people in all walks of life who invest their savings to enlarge and improve the telephone plant, have given America the best telephone service the world knows today—a servlet made possible by American freedom and democracy which 75 yean ago encouraged a young inventor to indulge the vision he had of “some day talking by telegraph.” w About 1,130,000. ^ A list of post offices bearing1 the historic name of Washington, with the state and county in which they are located, and their preliminary 1050 population follows: Arkansas, Hempstead county, Washington_ 344 Connecticut, Litchfield county, Washington_ 2,227 Georgia, Wilkes county Washington_ 3,801 Illinois, Tazewell county, Washington_4,297 Illinois, St. Clair county Washington Park_ 5,856 Indiana, Davies county Washington_10,987 Iowa, Washington county, Washington_ 5,902 Kansas, Washington county Washington_ 1,530 Louisiana, St. Landry parish, Washington_ 1,291 Maine, Knox county, Washington_ 722 Maryland, Montgomery county, Washington Grove- 400 Michigan, Macomb county, Washington_ 3,496 Missouri, Franklin county, Washington___ 6,860 Nebraska, Washington county, Washington_ 55 New Hampshire, Sullivan county, Washington_ 168 New Jersey, Warren county, Washington Boro.- 4 803 New York, Orange county, Washingtonville - 816 North Carolina, Beaufort county, Washington- 9,698 Ohio, Fayette county, Washington Gourthouse 10,543 Ohio, Columbiana cohnty, Washingtonville - 848 Oklahoma, McClain county, Washington_- 292 Pennsylvania, Montour county, Washingtonville - 194 Pennsylvania, Washington county, Washington-25,994 Utah,Washington county, Washington- 435 Utah, Weber county Washington Terrace __ 5,819 Vermont, Orange county, Washington_- 6i>0 Virginia, Rappahannock county, Washington- 247 Wisconsin, Door county, Washington Island- 775 District of Columbia, OUL, l 4 0 asnmgion In addition to the places listed above, there are nine other postoffices bearing the name of Washington but population figures are Tint available for them because they are unincorporated places for which boundaries are not available.

Homemakers’ Items You don’t need a fireplace to enjoy outdoor cookery . . . though it’s a big help. Food specialists at VPI recommend borrowing one or two steel racks from the family oven. These can be supported over sturdy rocks, bricks, or green forked sticks driven into the ground. Your outdoor grill is now ready for use. Prepare a bed of glowing coals from either wood or charcoal as the first step in delicious broiled, fried, or barbecued dishes. * * * To clean thick coatings of grease from inside an oven—put small open dishes filled with ammonia inside the broiler and oven sections. Leave them there overnight. The ammonia fumes will loosen the accumulated grime enough to make your cleanup an easier job. Mrs. Lyne Entertains Bridge Club Last Week Mrs. W. H.

Volunteers May Enlist For 21 Months or 3 Years Many draft-age men who wish to volunteer for service before their draft boards call them still think they cannot do so for less than three years through the recruiting service. This is wrong, the Culpeper recruiting station points out. Anyone between the ages of 19 and 26 can enlist in the army for 21 months or three years, whichever he prefers, by applying to the U. S. Army and U. S. Air Force Recruiting Station, 126 S. Main Street, Culpeper. In addtion, three-year enlistments are open to both men and women. For Original enlistments, the former must be between the ages of 17 and 35 and the latter between 18 and 35. This age lim> itation does not apply to former service individuals. Both white and colored applicants are eligible to enlist either in the Army or the Air Force. Stop At The ATLANTIC SIGN ATLANTIC Motor oil J. BRADLEY ATKINS Atlantic Service Station SPERRY'VILLE, VA.

Automobile Inspection Begins May 1 Two thousand official inspection stations and 10,000 certified mechanics will await nearly one million Virginia motor vehicles on Tuesday, May 1, as the official spring inspection period opens, was the reminder today from Captain W. L. Groth, safety engineer for the State Police, as police authorities urged motorists to have their cars inspected early and avoid the u~ual last minute rush. Captain Groth stated that additional stations have been approved in areas where they were needed and this was done after the usual thorough investigation of the stations' personnel, facilities and .f-epufatloris. Iri addition, the~ certified mechanics have been required to attend official in structional sessions which were conducted in all parts of hte state. The inspection period will close at.midnight, June 15, and Captain Groth was definite in saying that there can be no extension. At the same time he warned that it is illegal to drive after the deadline without tlie new gold sticker. As yet, he said, no serious shortage of replacement parts has developed. He pointed out also that Virginia’s percentage of defective vehicles in fatal accidents had been consistently about two-thirds that of the national average and that, unlike other forms of insurance, a safe car prevents trouble rather than easing the burden after it happens. Debits On Cancer Ledger Far Exceed Credits “The debit side of the cancer ledger exceeds the credit by more than 150 fold.’’ This observation by Dr. Guy Fisher of Staunton, campaign chairman for the Virginia Division of the American Cancer Society, means that although cancer costs the family and society, on an average, $10,000 for each cancer death, only $66 was given the American Cancer Society last year for every cancer fatality. Dr. Fisher issued the statement in connection with the 1951 Cancer crusade in Virginia which is seeking $242,000 as its share of the national goal of $14,565,000 which is needed to maintain the ACS programs of research, education, and treatment. “It is apparent that the amount given to fight cancer is unrealistic in the light of the many needs of cancer control,” the chairman said. “But people,” he added, “will give a great deal more when they realize the extent of the problem, part of our task is to help the public evaluate the worth of their expenditures. “If an amount equal to what is spend each month to tip waiters, for instance, were given to the Cancer Crusade, we would receive twice as much as our goal for 1951.” Dr. Fisher listed a number items and their annual cost to the public which he said should be compared with the $13,900,000 given the ACS in 1950 During 1950 the public spent $404,000,000 for restaurant tips; $4,266,000,000 for tobacco; $8,550,000,000 for intoxicants; $175,000,000 for athletic and social club fees. Even the cost of nail polish, $15,825,000, and mouth wash, $24,778,000 exceeded that contributed to the Cancer Crusade. The best way to stall a creative mind is to swamp it with detail.
