With Paul A. Walker in charge of construction, several days’ work was done this week. The six old mill stones, weighing from a ton to a ton-and-a-half apiece, have been moved out of the old mill to enable a new floor to be put in. The gears and shafts have also been moved. The cleared acre-plot in front of the mill has been cleaned and burned over. The plot is flat, with several large trees and some smaller ones, about 40 feet in height, left standing. Most of the trees are locust. The workmen spent the first days of their work encountering snakes, but with the brush cleared away and the large rocks moved, they expect that trouble will vanish. Work next week will probably begin repairing the stone foundation Avails. WILLIAM J. KENDRICK RECEIVES PROMOTION William J. Kendrick, son of Mrs. W. J.

Wallace Russell Injured In Freak Accident Wallace Russell of Flint Hill is -4ft-Warrenton - hospital," Bufferingfrom what may be a slight concussion, following an automobile accident Saturday night nea^ Cross Creek Cabins, near Amissville. Mr. Russell’s condition is satisfactory and he may b4 able to return to his home by Friday. Mr. Russell recalls nothing of the accident and does not know what happened. It is surmised that his car came over a slight hill and he struck another car in the highway—or it struck him. Whether the other car, bearing a New York license, was moving or was parked is not known. In fact, the accident should have a record on what is not known: no one seems to know who was driving the New York car; no one seems to know to whom it belonged; and no one seems to know anything about the accident. • Two items are positive facts: Wallace Russell knows he has a splitting headache and that his car is smashed up in the front. The New York car is supposed to have had five occupants: two were located in Culpeper, two in Fredericksburg, and one is still missing. No one of the four located knows who was driving. Sdmeone says the ear belonged to a boss of one of the men; someone else says the New York car is a taxi. No one say the accident. Some- ~ one came upon the scene and took Wallace Russell to Warrenton to the hospital, and he was unconscious about eight hours. There was nfo one in the New York car when Mr. Russell iwas found. Officer Moore of Culpeper was called. •"E—'-- _ Mrs. Eva Mason Grimsley Graveside funeral services were held Friday afternoon at 2:00 in the family cemetery for Mrs. Eva Mason Grimsley, 80, widow of 'Wiyjam Grimfchejy, who ''r die^^ffcer/p^iong period of declining health, although Mrs. Grimsley remained active until a week before her death.

Subscription:__ $2.00 a year If all good people were clever, And all clever people were good, The world would be nicer than ever We thought that it possibly could.

Wordsworth If the Fat Fit*— There was no one in mind when the government article on the dangers of excess fat iwas printed in the paper last week. That article was put out by a government agency to warn all of , Uncle Sam’s nieces and nephews of the trouble they were inviting with every extra pound of fat they were carrying around. It caused so much comment— and a few people seemed to take it as a personal affront—that this haste is made to assure “to whom it may concern’’ that no person was in mind with the printing. The article stated that for every inch a man’s waist measure exceeded his chest measure, he may deduct five years from his expected life span. “Gosh!” was the comment of an obese companion, “According to that, I died several years ago!” There is never any offense meant in any of the columns of the county paper. If, by any chance, there happens to appear a story by someone, reporting that they don’t like yellow cats with -pink, eyes, a special—appeal goesforth here and now to all owners of yellow cats with pink eyes: nothing personal is meant and the paper does not mean to insult you nor the cat. The paper has no o^ection to fat. As far ae the*' 'ufity r paper is concerned,* avCTage weight of every citizen may t>e 300 pounds, and no tears will be shed. Innocently, the government agency’s warning was printed. The county paper is not concerned in which direction your excess weight protrudes, nor can serious consideration be given as to its location. “Company Manner*” “Company manners,” as instilled in youngsters, are all wrong. The best manners you own should be reserved for your family and friends. They love you the best •nd appreciate your demonstrations of good manners. It’s fine to exhibit “company manners for visitors and strangers for it shows your parents tried to train yo properly, but it means nothing more. Those visitors won’t be near when any trouble comes rolling your way, and they’ll stick by you about as long as the blossom in the flower garden; for the length of time that it suits their nature and fancy, they 'bloom before your eyes and charm you. But let the winds blow apd frost arrive and watch them wilt. To your family and friends you have the power to 'bring disgrace, sorrow, humiliation. To those acquaintances, on whom you shower your “company manners,” you will merely furnish a nice, juicy topic of unkind criticism. To your family and friends your joys are their’s; to the casual acquaintance, you’re a bore. Of course, good manners are always appropriate, but if you must give vent to an ill nature, inflict it on a stranger or a casual acquaintance. They won’t POLIO PROTECTION * Two year policy.

Rappahannock County Chapter of the Red Cross has not met its quota for 1951, but it is hoped thatjthis deficit can be overcome with a little help from those who expected to help and as yet have failed to do So. Please make any contributions-to your local worker and help put Rappahannock over the top. All workers who have not turned in their final reports are requested to do this as soon as possible. The officers of the Rappahannock Red Cross wish to thank Allen Johnson and his staff for their efforts during the drive for funds, as this is mostly a thankless job. The average person does not stop to think that these people spend their time and money with no thought of pay except the thanks of those who are interested in, and helped by the Red Cross. Let us show appreciation for the volunteer Red Cross workers, for without them a great American institution would not be able to function. JAMES ATKINS u. 4The Time Has Come * the Walrus said . . . “A small town is a place where people stand in the middle of tne street and visit, and a driver going by stops and joins in the conversation.-’ I wonder what small town that bird had driven through. With his statement, he has proved that he’s never lived in one,To begin with, no one stands in the street. There are fences to lean against. And you just try once to stop and butt into a conversation, and you’ll get your ears pinned back in exactly* the fashion you deserve! If you’ll only the content of the conversation later, anyway, so why bother. * * * “If you ask any successful man the reason for his making good, he will tell you it is 'because he li(k.es hjs iwoiifI«rindeed, loves it.

He walks, he talks his work, he is entirely inseparable from his work—and that is the way everyone worth his salt ought to be if he wants to make his work what it should be, and make of himself what he wants to be.” Mister, you have a perfect rigut to your own opinion!

That's what pa and grandpa didn’t have so much of, and I got too much of.” * * * Suppose the Rip Van Winkle story could be true? You could waked him up in 1850, and after a short time he could have adjusted himself to the few noticeable changes. Lights would be about the same; travel, about the same; little change in the general manner of living. But, oh, boy! wouldn't it be a sight to see Old Rip if you had started him on a nap in 1850 and waked him up in 19501 I can see him now: when he came down out of the hollows in Rappahannock and saw either Route 211 or 522 on a clear Sunday afternoon! Giant, metal horseless carriages zooming by him at 60 miles an hour! I’m a kind-hearted person. I’d just knock him in the head and relieve him of his misery before he happened to arrive in one of the cities and got caught in an escalator or an automat! And I would certainly see to it that the old fellow didn’t see a newspaper with all its government wrangling, crime, and airplane crashes. It’s a good thing, old Rip’s sleep is mythological. Some Ph.D., aspirant would try it, if he could; and the S.P.C.A. would have to deal with him. -- Soil Saver Notes By L. B.

Lyne f County Agent I naaaaaaaiaaaaaaataaaaaaiaaaaaattaataaaaaanaaattaaaaaaaiaaaaaaaaMnaar Ladino-Orchard grass or LadinoFescue pastures require good management during May if maximum pasturage is to be obtained. Both these grasses will make strong bids to head this month, particularly Fescue and should be clipped to prevent them doing so. Such a practice will also help free the field of noxious weeds. I was in error last week in stating Blackleg-Malignent edima bacterin was available through our Commissioner of Agriculture. Having seen a cardboard carton containing some of this serum packed with the Commissioners return address posted thereon, I assumed his office to be the source. Clostridium Chauvei-Septicus bacterin, as it is called, U available through most veterinarian supply houses, such as O. M. Franklin Serum Co., of Kansas City. Cattle producers are cautioned not to disregard the possibility of lice on young stock. Just recently I noticed a young Angus calf apparentlyless than 30 days oldthat was practically “crawlin’ witn lice.” Cattle lice control recommendations are: 1. Lindane—mix I'h. pounds of a 25% wettable powder to 100 gallons of water. Spray thoroughly. One application will give good results. 2. B.H.C.—Spray with mixture 7 pounds B.H.C. wettable powder containing 6% gamma isomer to 100 gallons water. One thorough treatment should give good control. If calves under three months are treated, dilute this mixture to one-half strength. PITTS DRIVE-IN ||gl 'SO1 )n Brandy Road (Route 15) lVt Miles North of CULPEPER, VA. ! Shows Nightly 7 and 9 P.M.

Pendleton » In Virginia, following the custom of the colonial Church of England, Parishes follow geographical lines, rather than communities or cities. Thus Bromfield Parish comprises the counties of Madisofi and Rappahannock. Bromfield Parish was cut’off from St. Mark’s Parish. Cul- ' peper, in 1752. In 1735 it had been ordered that a “Chapel of Ease” be built between Shaw’s Mountain and the River. This was a wooden church built about 1740. After 1752, a brick church was built near Slate Mills, with Rev. Adam Menzies as its first Rector. It is a matter of record that George Washington, while making surveys in this vicinity, worshipped in this church. It was known as the “F T” church. After the Revolution this church was not used, and was later torn down, and now only a brick marker, made from the original bricks, has been erected on the site. The next Church in Bromfield Parish was St. Paul’s Chtirch at Woodville, which some years ago was destroyed by a tornado. Members living around Washington, the county seat, determined to have a church, so a meeting was called, funds raised, and Trinity Church was built at a cost of $1800. This church was consecrated by Rt. Rev. John Johns, assistant Bishop of Virginia, on November 29, 1857. Rev. William T. Leavell was the first Rector of this Church. It is an interesting coincidence that his son, William T. Leavell, Jr., married a sister of the present Rector, Rev. W. G. Pendleton. The records of the Parish are not complete, as some were destroyed during the war between the states. As far as we can, learn the Rectors are as follows: William T. Leavell; R. T. Brown; J. T. Minnigerode; J. M. Meredith; E. T. Worth; E. W. Hubard; W. N. Claybrook; W. N. Tillinghast; A. P. Gray; John Lloyd; Frank Cox; Carter Harrison; Lawrence Brent; Francis Allison; C. E. Range, and W. T. Waterhouse. Attend Church This Sunday. If there are no services in your church, you are invited to worship with a neighboring congregation. EPISCOPAL TRINITY EPISCOPAL (Washington) Dr. W. G.

But you—at the wheel—enjoy a long list of differences that go far deeper than looks. The ride is different—level and true. av v sit thecaad wi#h special assurance — because Buick’s torque-tube drive keeps rear wheels firmly aligned—soft ' coil springs on all four wheels soak up the bumps and bobbles—honest weight keeps you on a steady keel. , y i W’—--j TmM la HENRY J. TAYLOR, ABC N.hroft, .wr ktoajar tmnlng. The power is different—eager and sure. Buick’s high-compression Fireball engine does wonders with fuel —and no matter what you demand in emergency, there’s horsepower to spare. Handling is different—this car seems to steer itself on straightaway or curve —and swings lightly into parking spots inches shorter than you’d think you need. Capping it all, there’s the silken versatility of Dynaflow Drive,* that takes all the tenseness out of driving — responds to your slightest wish with a, surging swoop of power. No doubt about it, what you get in a Buick is far more than just a new car — it’s a whole new experience in getting pleasurably from here to there. <6o why not explore this difference?
