WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY, MAY 17, 1951 . $2.00 Per Year Mass Chest X-Ray June 5 and 6 The Virginia Department of Health mobile chest x-ray unit will be in Sperryville June 5 and in Washington June 6 for free chest x-rays of an? person in t.bw . county. 'this is the first time the x-ray unit has been in Rappahannock and the health department requests that every person take advantage of the opportunity and have an x-ray. All farmers are urged to see that their tenants avail themselves of the opportunity on one of these dates. Mass x-ray surveys are being conducted to determine more accurately the total extent of the overall problem of tuberculosis and the real magnitude of its incidence in areas of greeter than average morbidity. This knowledge will make possible more prompt and effective (therefore, more economical) utilization of tuberculosis control measures in a nation-wide effort aimed at virtual eradication. For the first time in history total eradication looms as a truly feasible goal in the United States, due to (1) the tremendous reduction in mortality rate which has already taken place in the past fifty years, (2) modern methods of education and communication (by which all segments of the population can readily be reached) and (3) the recent technical triumph of minifilm. a ne need ior a thorough casefinding program as an important preliminary step in a total eradication dampaign should be apparent. In the past a great number of cases of tuberculosis have been found to have had far-advanced disease by the time they were first diagnosed. Many, if not most of these, had consulted their physicians months or years before their symptoms became sufficiently definite or intense epough to suggest tuberculosis as a possible cause, either to them or to their physicians. Other persons become spreaders of infection months before they become in, or ill enough to consult a physician. Careful studies have shown that examination of close contacts to communicable cas s of tuberculosis uncovers only about 25 per cent of the new cases reported each year; i.e., three out of four cases are derived from the apparently healthy population about whom. there was no previous record of exposijre to any known case. It has been reliabily estimated that for every known case of active tuberculosis in the United States, there is at least one unknown active-case. Moreover, the best way to protect children from tuberculosis is to x-ray their parents and all other close adult associates. Obviously large scale chest x-ray surveys must be carried out sooner or later throughout the apparently healthy population, if the public is*to be protected from exposure to these hidden cases of tuberculosis and if tuberculosis is to be eliminated as a serious public health problem within a comparatively short spap of years. -* Floyd Benton Seal Floyd Benton Seal, 50, died suddenly Sunday of a heart ailment at his home in Flint Hill. Services were conducted from the Primitive Baptist church at Thornton Gap Tuesday, Elder J. H. Daily officiating. Burial was in the family lot in the Masonic cemetery at Washington.

E. Wood, at Sperryville, and occupied by the Lewis Woodward- family, was set on fire Tuesday. It was reported that Mrs. Woodward had put the children to bed upstairs where they found some loose matches and were playing with them when one set the bed on fire. Mrs. Corbin and Tom Leake, neighbors of the Woodwards sane smoke coming from the house and notified Mrs. Woodward who Was asleep. The Sperryville Volunteer fire Company was called and they extinguished the blase before much damage was Mrs. Kistner Lectures On Flower Arrangement The Rappahannock Garden Club was most fortunate in procuring the services of Mrs. Ruth Kistner, of New York, to give two lectures on flower arrangement, at the Sperryville school auditorium on Monday, May 14. These lectures were open to the public and those who attended feel that those not attending missed a wonderful opportunity of seeing an artist at work with flowers. Mrs. Kistner handled flowers just like an artist handles his brush and paints. Each bunch of flowers that she touched, with Very little effort, turned into an artistic creation. One of the most interesting things that she taught was how to condition flowers so that they stay fresh for weeks at a time. The morning session was taken up with designs of arrangements. To demonstrate these she made arraigjgefrients to show the different basic designs used in flower arranging. She brought out that each arrangement must have three dimensions — height, width and depth. The three mechanics of flower arranging are pin holder, linen thread and sharp scissors. At noon the ladies of the Sper-v ryville Methodist church served a delicious luncheon at the Lee Highway hotel. In the afternoon session Mrs. .Kistner took up color in flower arrangements. She made many beautiful flower arrangements in color and showed the art of color harmony and which colors are most complimentary to each other. Of especial interest to the ones attending the lectures was the fact that Mrs. Kistner is author of the book Flower Arrangement For The American Home, which most of them had read. Mrs. Kistner has made seven lectures in London and has had ted in the palace with Queen Elizabeth, “also she has arranged flowers for the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. When Princess Elizabeth iwas marired the flower containers were sent to America from the palace in London, flowers were arranged in them by Mrs. Kistner .and flown baek to London for the Royal wedding. Mrs. Kistner said the most fun she had was arranging the flowers in the entire suite at the Waldorf Astoria for Gen. and Mrs. MacArthur when they arrived in New York. It was a wonderful day and everyone came away feeling that the time iwas well spent. The Rappahannock Garden Club for allowing us the privelige of hearing Mrs. Kistner and seeing her works of art in the making. Roberta K. Massie -If- • 14,000 Tree Seedlings Planted In Rappahannock The Virginia Forest Service recently closed the 1951 spring reforestation season by announcing that more than 4,250,000 forest tree seedlings have been planted in Virginia since last fall. Althou this shows a slight increase over the number of seedlings planted last year, it does not show" the great interest being demonstrated by landowners in replanting their idle acres with forest tree seedlings. Due to an unequaled demand for this forest tree planting stock, the two State nurseries^Were unable to fill many requests. In Rappahannock county 14,000 tree seedlings were planted this spring AUj landowners who wish to ordhr^eedlings for the next fall or spring planting seasons are urged to do so now. By getting your application in now you will be sure to get your seedlings. The main species available will be loblolly pine, sbortleaf pine, white pine, yellow poplar, black locust and black walnut. Applications may be given to SKAMtttfdGl’ to the District Forester, Box 1368 University Station Charlottesville, Virginia. -W— MR. AND MRS. R. E. WOOD ENTERTAIN AT BRIDGE Mr. and Mrs. R. E.

Council Asks Citizens Attend Budget Meeting The ladies of the town council of Washington, in meeting Tuesday evening, May 8, suggested that the June meeting be set aside for citizens to attend for a study of the budget. When needs are stated, it can then be found if present funds are adequate or whether it will be necessary to impose a tax to meet the. needs requested by the citizens. The ordinance regarding hog pens was amended by the ladies of the council. The ordinance reads that no citizen may have hog pens closer than 200 feet to any street, and the amendment passed now states that .any hog pen within the corporate limits, regardless of its location, must pass inspection of the county sanitation officer at regular intervals. Reports of the committees stated that the benches for the town would be purchased in the near future. RAPP • OHATS | By: W. H. Lyne County Agent “Forest Fire,” a true story of our forests by “Smokey,” the forest-fire-preventing bear in comic book form, has been presented to every child in grade school, or at least to every family having children in the grades. Already, a number of school principals, teachers, and pupils have expressed their appreciation for this medium of conservation education in pur schools. These booklets were made available through the County Forestry Committee, The Rappahannock National Bank, and the P.-T.A. organizations. Several 4-H’ers having top quality Poland China pigs for sale as breeding stock include: Jackie Sisk, son of MiRon Sisk; Aylette Buckner, III, son of A. H. Buckner, Jr.; Ennis Jenkins, Jr., son of Ennis Jenkins; Larry Wayland, son of Earl Wayland, all of Sperryville; and Buddy Tapp, son of John Tapp of Amissv'ille. Though these pigs are only just about at weaning age, one boar has been sold to Nelson Atkins of Flint Hill and another has been engaged by a breeder of Greene county. Rappahannock farmers who will be needing a registered Poland China male for fall service, or who wish to improve the quality of their she-stock, should contact one of these boys. Whoa! At this point, Dewey Anderson, farmer of Amissville, came into the office . . . asked about Poland China gilts . . . and bought three! D. D. Miller of Washington reports having three purebred Hampshire pigs “too nice for slaughter.” There are two gilts and a boar. Hampshires, too, are a popular breed, so these should be readily ‘taken up’ by farmers of the county. G. B. Allison, county agent of Page county, was in Rappahannock yesterday scoring the 4-H sheep projects being conducted this year by: Donald Gore, Francis Bruce, Jackie Sisk, Kelly Updike, Melvin Williams, Douglas Martin, Richard Griffith, and Bobby Atkins. By next Thursday we hope to be able to announce the winners. A. T. Lassiter of the VPI Animal Husbandry Department, accompanied W. V. Saville, assistant county agent, last week in visiting the Sears-Roebuck Foundation Purebred swine projects for the purpose of making the final scorings.. Winners Weiae: First—Jackie Sisk, $60; ■*25; Third—Ennis Jenkins, $15; -Fourth—Larry Wayland, $5; Fifth—Dearl Cloud, $5. In both' of these projects, boys’ work is scored to include management, feeding, housing, pasturage, records, interest, etc. Very commendable results were* accomplished by all.

Teske, Extension Horticulturist will meet with the fruit growers at 8 p.m. in the Court Room at Washington. June-14, Wool will be pooled at Washington Co-operative Fruit Growers Packing House from 8 ».m. to 2 p.m. Garden Tour Brings Many Visitors It is estimated that three times as many guests were in Rappahannock Thursday, May 10, for the second annual Garden .Club’s tour of homes as were present for last year’s opening tour. This fine attendance is a credit to the fine tour aifanged last year, as well as the arrangement of the tour this year. It was thought that the publicity was not as wide-spread as it had been for last year’s tour, and that possibly those interested would not have heard about it. Evidently, the tour last year was worth talking about, and guests must have convinced others of the pleasant trip they missed, and caused resolutions to be on the lookout for the date of the tour this year. -JfMiss Latham Accepts Position With Bank Miss Mary Miller Latham of Amissville, has accepted a position as bookkeeper for the Rappahannock National Bank. Miss Latham assumed her duties May 16. Miss Latham was a graduate of the class of 1349 at Washington High School, and attended Strayers Business School in Washington, D.C. Allen D.

D. French Slaughter reportedly selected as the Democratic choice for Culpeper’s and Rappahannock’s representative in the House of Delegates, there has arisen some discussion as to whether or not the old rotation system has been forgot. Assurance is given in several quarters that it has not been overlooked, that the old plan wae to have two terms served by a Culpeper man and two. terms by a Rappahannock county man. For the past twelve years a Culpeper representative has held the place, but this can be an advantage in seniority, and for that reason the rotation system is overlooked. The verbal agreement between the two counties’ committee members is that whenever it is to the advantage to retain the incumbept, and it is agreeable with both counties to do so, then the rotation system will be set aside temporarily. There is some speculation to the effect that the committee members will remember the old custom of sharing representation, but that the average voter will not. There is doubt as to whether Culpeper county, by far the larger in number of voters, wij} pefys^ to yse ner superior pbWer and will neve? allow Rappahannock a representative. Several members of the committee seem to think this unlikely. They express the opinion that when Rappahannock brings forth a candidate, the adjoining county will remember that they have had the representative for a number of years and will readily agree to this county furnishing a representative. A Rappahannock Fable Once upon a time a strange Little Animal came to the home of the Millers. (The name Miller i§ used because it is universal in the county and can justify the title of this tale.) The Little Animal was welcomed into the Miller home and extended all the gracious hospitality the family knew. Since the Little Animal had brought along with him all his necessities, he did not help with the farm chores to earn his keep. The Miller family was kind, but, most of all, one of the Miller boys befriended the strange Little Animal. He talked kindly with him; he showed the Little Animal some places to cross the swamps by stepping carefully on certain stones and thus avoid getting his feet soiled by mud; he often chopped holes in the earth to help the Little Animal with his digging; and he spoke kindly of the Little Animal when some of the neighbors criticized his strangeness. One sad day, without rhyme nor Stop At The ATLANTIC SIGN J. BRADLEY ATKINS Atlantic Service Station SPERRYVILLE, VA. L. B. DULIN, JR DISTRIBUTOR Atlantic Refining Company CULPEPER, VA. reason, the strange Little Animal suddenly turned upon the Hiller boy, his friend, and savagely bit him. Then the Little Animal spent days walking about the home, snarling, with hair upright on the back of his neck. The Miller boy was hurt—but his feelings were hurt more deeply that that hurt caused by the vicious bite of the Little Animal’s teeth. The Little Animal, which he had befriended and defended, had turned on him. The moral of this tale is this: don’t expect gratitude from any strange little animal that drifts to your home, no matter what nor how much you do to help him. Let your pleasure be derived in th« satisfaction you get in giving help; and expect nothing in return. ‘The Time Hat Come * til* Walrna uid . . . Despite all its recent publicity, Washington, “The First of Them All,” Virginia, Rappahannock, is still referred to as "Little Washington.” It’s a source of touchy feelings among some of the 245 citizens of Rappahannock’s county seat, and some of the Sperryvillians delight in poking fun by speaking of “Little Washington.” There’s one good-sized citizen of Sperryville who insists upon sending bills to a customer, addressed to “Little Washington.” The customer very promptly returns the bills, with the notation: No Such Place. And the customer refused to pay the bill until it is sent with the proper “Washington, Virginia” on it. Mr. Allie Slaughter is the latest Washington citizen to have his revenge for the thoughtlessness of a fellow who did not know that the “First .Washington of Them All” resented the term “little.” Mr. Slaughter’s letter came from Crozet to “Little Washington,” so Mr. Slaughter directed his answer to “Little Crozet, Albemarle County, Virginia.” * * * The following yellowed clipping from an old Blue Ridge Guide was sent to Rappahannock News from a reader in Birmingham, Alabama. ‘’‘The eff'eminization and -progressive tendency of the world—and we do not mean to say that these terms are synonomous—are nowhere more plainly seen than in the simple things of bank supplies. Time was iwhen all a bank needed, for its work was a bottle of red ink, a bottle of black ink, a dirty sponge, a high stool, sleeve protectors to have the sleeves Saturday like they were Monday, an eye shade, a few pens and a foot press. Now every • well-conducted bank has a typewriter, an adding machine to save the brains, a chamois skin to remove the polish from the nose, a marble roller to moisten the fingers in counting money, a box of scented powder to camouflage the face, a bookkeeping machine to do the thinking, a mirrow to show whether or not the lily really has been paint-* ed, fly paper to catch and hold the flies that bald-headed cashiers formerly were satisfied to smack to death on the bald spot.” The rest of the clipping states that it’s time the county kept up with the rest of the changes and should take time to show gratitude to the boys returning from the war. “Let’s have an old-fashioned all-day gathering with dinner on the ground for the men who fought in this war and for the remaining men of the Confederate army,” continues the clipping. ♦ * * If you’re a man of few words, you won’t have to take so many of them ba,ck. * * * Worry is like a rocking chair.

I’ll bet that he thinks that the T-bone’s for soup, That its usual habitat is somewhere on the Loop, That the tenderloin steak is a bet in Manhattan, And the porterhouse, a place to drink beer, in Latin. He knows that most pigs are fattened on votes, That the Bulls and the Bears are only Wall street quotes, But he would climb on a fence and view with alarm If he ever saw either at large on a farm. , He hands out protection to millionaire packers, And a mite of the same to the diners and snackers. Then puts all the loss on the folks on the farm, Thinking *by this, some voters to charm. Just wait ’til they are dining on spaghetti and salads, No roasts nor steaks for meathungry palates, I’ll bet these dispensers of chicanery and harm Will soon come a-begging to the folks on the farm.

All over our land tribute was paid to mothers by visits of children, by speeches over radio, and by various remembrances sent to mothers by children too far away from home to visit them. Recently a minister talking to a group said that the mother holds the job which, wields the greatest amount of influence in modern life. Comparing the variety of work which women are doing away from home with the job of the mothers who stay at home, this speaker pointed out that “the home is where the man and woman take hold of the social situation,, of the world. It is the handle, so to speak, of our social structure. In the home we have a better chance than any place to put into operation the ideals of the Kingdom of God.” After reading this profound statement, I asked myself, “How does our Social Security program help in promoting high ideals and in keeping a family together?” It does so in the following ways: Pitts Park THEATRE Front Royal, Virginia THURSDAY, MAY 17 WENDELL COREY MacDONALD CAREY —in— t “Great Missouri Raid** FRI. - SAT., MAY 18 - 19 RONALD REAGAN, DIANA LYNN — in — “Bedtime For Bonzo** SUN. .

Byrd said: “I was a copatron on an amendment to the deficiency appropriation bill this week which will prohibit payment of European recovery funds to any nation that deals in strategic war materials with a country at war with the United States. The amendment was adopted unanimously by the Senate. “This amendment is particularly aimed at Great Britain. Tne fact that Great Britain has been sending war materials to the Red Chinese through Hong Kong is to me a most outrageous procedure. -These war materials are being used not only against Americans in Korea but against the British troops iwho are there. “To ship such materials to the Red Chinese will definitely prolong the Korean War. It must ba stopped immediately, otherwise, we should take strong steps to do so. I believe the adoption of the amendment of which I was a cosponsor, will ble a clear warning to Great Britain that she must change her course. “I have been a strong supporter of the United Nations but our fellow members in the United Na PITTS On Brandy Road (Route 15) Miles North of CULPEPER, VA. 2 Shows Nightly 7 and 9 P.M.

T. Quinn, Executive Director of the Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries. Personnel of the law enforcement division will attend sessions on the campus of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute during the week of August 20 for refresher courses in all phases of their work. The game and fish protectors will be given courses in court procedure, laws of arrests, public relations, safety with firearms, fishing techniques, and many other subjects pertaining to their duties. - Mr. Quinn pointed out that law enforcement is one of the most important sections of game commission work, and a properly instructed and trained warden force is vital to the maintenance of Virginia’s (wildlife.

But I guess that is much the safest way to write. As my good and faithful readers (and I do have a few) know I am not much of a columnist, but as one of my ' good friends said the other day, “It is a break in the paper.” I hope she meant a good break. * * * Washington never did see as many dressed up folks in one day as the day of the Rappahannock Carden Tour. They were everywhere, and from all reports and all the cars and the folks we saw, it was a huge success. Before long we’ll see Washington, Flint Hill and Amiss vilie on the road signs as well as. Massies Corner and SperryVille, which hhve been ahead of us along that line for some time, they have been on the road signs for years. * * * I read in the paper the other, day that General MacArthur is now having tailored civvies made, certainly must feel funny to him after all these years to settle down to the everyday way of living. It’s like the lovely lady after the night of the ball or Cinderella after the clock struck twelve. * * * Again we begin Summer with no LIGHTS, the current is off. We had a storm, company coming for supper, oh, dear, what can I do? That as always is the general cry—It cornea as certain as does Spring. WeU, ladies, the best I can do to fcelp you out is ask you to call SperryVille 8766, ask for Mr. | Rossen (Reddy Kilo Watt) and he will have your lights on and your ■upper going before you can aay scat. Write the number down, as it is not listed in the directory as yet. ___ * * * “Revenge is digging a grave for two” as I noted in a short story I read the other night. Revenge is a mean word and as always it not only hurts one person, but two, and maybe more. Its a funny old world as well as a grand old world, it takes all kinds of peopfe to make it. If we were asked the question of what we would change about it, we’d stop and think, then say nothing. Some people make the excitement, some the quiet and peace, and. some give us a chance to get storming mad and blow our top, whioh all goes to stimulate us and make this old world a very interesting place to be. * * * To practice what one preaches is comparatively easy.

Merchants Still Lag In OPS Compliance Despite extensions of deadlines and every effort on the part of the Office of Price Stabilization to assist merchants and others coming under ceiling price regulations, many grocers, restaurant operators, and merchants operating types of businesses controlled by OPS are lagging in their compliance with regulations. District OPS offices in Region IV—Virginia, North Carolina, West Virginia, Maryland, and the District of Columbia—report that large numbers of those required by law to file forms, pricing charts, and other data have failed to do so to date. Apparently, says /OPS enforcement officials, many do not realize that there are penalties for non-compliance with ceiling price regulations. These penalties may include injunctions to prevent further conduct of business, or e nevfines of $10,000 and/or one year in prison. Where Farms May Be Secured If you are one of those who still has not secured the necessary Office of Price Stabilization forms for compliance with ceiling price regulations, these may be gotten from your local bank or the nearest Chamber of Commerce, says OPS officials in the District office. An adequate supply of these forms has been supplied all banks and Chambers of Commerce in your area. -JfUse NEWS Classified Ads MRS.

Using a synthetic substance, which .they substituted for an antigen obtained from human cancerous liver tissue, the doctors obtained almost identical results when the material came into contact with the blood serum of a person afflicted with cancer. The tests were more than 98 per cent correct in confirming positive cancer diagnosis. Tests using the synthetic material on more than 900 patients were-described in papers read before the annual meeting of the American Association for Cancer research in Cleveland, Ohio, by Dr. Claude S. Mummtf, chief of the eye, ear, nose and thrpfct department, and Dr.' F. X.»Byron, chief-of thoracic surgery, in the Los Angeles VA Hospital. The work described was done in conjunction with a group of medical scientists from the University of California at Los Angeles, working in the VA Hospital the past four years. Known in medical circles as the “sero-fioeeuiation reaction,” the blood serum method of testing is expected to lead to earlier* discovery of cancerous lesions in the lungs and other chest areas. In his paper evaluating the blood serum test, Dr. Byron said that the nature of the bronchogenic carcinoma (cancer of the chest or longs) made diagnosis “potentially difficult.’’ He pointed out that such cancer often simulates other types of pulmonary lesions and often leads to late . diagnosis even when the patient presents himself to a physician early in the course of the disease. - AMS.

Kenland Red Clover Gains In Popularity With State Farmers Kenland red clover, a hardy, high-yielding variety, is becoming increasingly popular with Virginia farmers, says W. W. Lewis, associate agronomist at VPI. He says the variety is well adapted to that part of the red clover belt where southern anthracnose is prevalent and frequently very destructive. When subjected to heavy artificial inoculation, more than twice as many Kenland plants survive as of any other variety. An average of 39 tests over a five-year period in eight states shows that Kenland yielded 16 per cent more forage than the best of numerous other clover strains. At some locations, the yield advantage for Kenland has been over 40 per cent. In Virginia at four locations, Kenland has consistently outyielded other varieties. For instance, at Williamsburg the three-year average yield for enland was 5,862 pounds per acre; while the nearest contender, Ky. 215, yielded 5,539; and Virginia Adapted dropped to 4,760 pounds. At Staunton, the two-year average yield for Kenland was 5,494 pounds per acre. Ky. 215, again the runner-up, yielded only 4,642 pounds. Yield comparisons were similar at Blacksburg and at Orange. Lewis says in terms of soil improvement Kenland’s yielding ability means additional nitrogen and organic matter. Tops and roots of Kenland with a 40 per cent hay yield advantage would contain 35 to 45 pounds more nitrogen to the acre than ordinary clover. The soil building advantage alone is often worth the entire seed cost to users of Kenland. Though certified seed production of Kenland in 1950 was only a third of a million pounds, the 1951 production will be much larger—possibly 2,000,000 pounds. By 1954 or 1955 production may reach or pass the 15,000,000-lb. mark. IT New Beef Ceiling Prices Next Week Retail butchers are required to post in their shops by June 4 the new ceiling prices for beef cuts that go into effect May 14, says the OPS District Office of the Office of Price Stabilization. These beef prices will be effective until July 31. On July 31- OPS will put into effect the first of two ceiling price reductions, the second taking place on October 1. These ptep-foy-btep reductions in beef prices will result by fall in reductions of about 10 per cent in the prices consumers pay, says the OPS District Office. Actual percentage reductions will be dependent partly on the type and style of beef cuts. The ceilings effective next (week hold retail prices at about the same level as of last February. The OPS regulation controlling beef prices is part of a group of regulations thiat reduce the prices that slaughterers can pay for beef cattle and that wholesalers can charge retail butchers. The'cattle prices will be reduced about 10 per cent on May 20, another 4i on July 29, and still another 4i on September 30. v The prices slaughterers may pay for cattle are the lowest which would protect cattle feeders against inventory losses on cattle acquired before' the freeze date. The three reductions take into consideration both the feeders’ positions and assurance of orderly marketing through facing us all.” -rfObserve BRUSH BURNING LAW » Mrs. Jack Broca and Miss Mary Jenkins were in Gulpeper shopping Friday.

Bell, as Trustees for and on behalf of the Presbyterian Church of Washington, the eastern one-half part of Town Lot No. 22, at the southwestern corner of Gay and Calvert Streets, for the purpose of erecting thereon a house of public worship. As far as can be ascertained the supervision and construction was under the entire direction of James Leake Powers, a contemporary of Thomas Jefferson, having been born June 10, 1799 and who died during the year 1889, at the age of 90 years. Mr. Powers left many monuments to his skill as an artisan, having been employed on the construction of the University of Virginia and also the woodwork on the County Court House. He was the builder of Trinity Episcopal Church, considered among the best reproductions of English architecture in the State, and also a number of the more prominent homes in the town. The Presbyterian Church is of brick construction and of Doric architecture, from which there was little, departure, other than the large fan window in the front gable, which to a great , extent characterized the buildings designed by Mr. Powers. There is no roster or record of the number of Presbyterians in the Town or vicinity when the building was constructed. It is known, however, that within the past forty or fifty years the membership was depleted to a very few. It is within the recollection of the present generation, that while there was no regular minister, the Reverend Robert S. Bell and the Reverend William Jacob Warden for many years contributed their'services as ministers without remuneration other than the satisfaction these Godly men enjoyed in the service of their God. The Presbytery of Potomac being of the opinion there was no opportunity to revive or reestablish a membership within the Town by reason of three other churches, and of the further, opinion that through the sale of the property the payment could be used in building a church where there was prospect for success, directed Charles W. Warden, T. E. BartenstSm and Alfred Thomson, Trustees, petition the Circuit Court of Rappahannock County for leave to sell the said property and to execute proper deed therefor. * The Court having granted the petition of the Trustees for the sale of the property and F. C. Baggarly, the purchaser, having agreed to the consideration as authorized by the Presbytery of Potomac and as approved by the Court, deed was executed on the 15th day of February, 1939.

Savings Bonds Begin Maturing Ten years ago this month the United States' Treasury sold the first Series E Savings Bonds. Americans now hold around SOO,000,000 such ‘bonds, worth some $34,500,000,000, present cash value. On May 1 such bonds began to mature. Chairman J. Rodes Brown, Jr., of the Rappahannock Savings Bond Committee, said yesterday that about $1,096,000,000 of Series E bonds issued in 1941 are ■till outstanding and will mature month by month between now and the end of 1951. In 1952 and 1054 the amounts maturing will markedly increase, reflecting the heavy wartime sales of E Bonds in war loan drives and under the payroll savings plan during 1942-44. In 1955, maturities will begin to come down to peacetime levels. • Classified Ads Rates: 2c per word first insertion; lc per word each additional; 25c minimum; 25c booking charge if less than $1.00.

J. M, Amos, associate plant pathologist at V.P.I., says spray to control anthracnose, bitter rot, black rot, and mildew should be applied when the second or third leaf shows. ' ordeaux mixture is the suggested control material, although fermate is gradually coming into widespread use. For three gallons' of spray use 1 tolVi ounces of fermate, or a bordeaux mixture made of 4 ounces of powdered bluestone and 5 ounces of hydrated lime. One ounce of soybean flour or V4 pint of skim milk may be added to bordeaux to increase the spreading and sticking qualities of the spray. Another spray for disease and insect control should be applied just before the grape blossoms open. For this spray use either of the suggested materials and add 1 Vi ounces of DDT wettable powder or 2 ounces of lead arsenate for leafbopper and rose chafer control. Further information is available from county agents* or from Amos at V.P.I., Blacksburg. Contestants Named For Sheep Shearing Event Ten 4-H club members have been chosen to compete in the state sheep shearing contest, to be held at V.P.I. sometime during the week of the annual 4-H short course, June 25-30. The boys won the right to vie for state honors at a recent sheep shearing contest in Staunton, which was conducted by E. A. Warner, of the Sunbeam Corporation, Chicago. In the order of their placings, they are: Billy Ramsey, Albemarle; Harold Hotinger, Rockbridge; Frank Kessling, Loudoun; Pat Stewart, Rockbridge; Billy Armstrong, Highland; Larry Arehart, Augusta; Jack Huffman, Page; William Maxey, Buckingham; Jerry Hoak, Page; and Nelson Grove, Augusta. The top boy, Billy Ramsey, has clipped some 3,000 sheep during tne past two years. Winner of the state contest will receive an all-expense-paid trip to the International Livestock Exposition in Chicago where he will compete for national honors. Expenses are paid by United Wool Growers’ Association in Harrisonburg. The Sunbeam Corporation sponsors the national contests --»Arm For Annual Battle Against Insects, Diseases The annual battle against bugs ind diseases will soon be on in • Virginia’s home gardens, and Ex:ension specialists at V.P.I. have i few tips. They say there are a few basic rules for spraying or dusting. Start applications early. Don’t vait until serious injury has been lone. Use the recommended materials. The material must control :he pests without injury to the plants. Be thorough—cover the entire plant. Spray or dust often enough for good controy. A copper-rotenone dust is effective in controlling most of the ieaf-spot diseases, and insects of the home garden. It will control leaf spots and leaf blights on vegetables and flowers, and most of ;he common garden insects such as the Mexican bean beetle, the cucumber beetle, potato beetles, cabbage worms, and the young stages of aphids or plant lice. A 20 per cent sabadilla dust or a 10 per cent activated sabadilla dust is better than rotenone for the control of Harlequin cabbage bug, squash bug, and green stinkbug. DDT-copper dusts and sprays are suggested for use on Irish potatoes. To controy aphids or plant lice, use nicotine sulfate. Cutworms can be controlled by using paper collars around the stems of the plants at setting. About an inch of paper should be below the surface of the ground, and one or two inchest above the surface. Cutworms can .be controlled also with poison bran bait made by mixing 5 lbs. of dry bran, Wr^pound of Paris green, %-pint of cheap molasses, and enough water to make a crumbly mash. The bait also will kill grasshoppers and slugs. -*Farmer Field Days Planned For Fall Field days for farmers will not be held at outlying field units of Virginia Experiment Station this spring, but are being scheduled for the fall. P. H. DeHart, Extension agromist at VPI says most of the proejects underway at the field stations can be inspected in the fall. However, a series of training meetings will be held this spring to train parofessional workers to conduct groups over the station without the assistance of the station agronomist. The meetings—for professional workers only—will be held: May 18 at the Southside Station at Charlotte; May 23 at the Piedmont Station at Orange; May 24 at the Shenandoah Station at Staunton; May 24 at the Eastern Station at Warsa#; and June 1 at the Northern Station at Middleburg. -- NEW STRAWBERRY RUNNERS MUST BE SPACED PROPERLY Proper spacing of new strawberry runners is important, says Bruce Aroian, associate horticulturist at V.P.I. He says first runners usually begin appearing in mid-May in Virginia. The easiest and cheapest method of handling the new runner plants is to let them root as lP" ~~ f ****** * f I *l/v* H. M. KEYSER, JR., LISTED AMONG R.-M. A. GRADUATES Listed among the 57 cadets as candidates for graduation at Randolph-Macon Academy, Front Royal, is Henry MaGruder Keyser, Jr., grandson of Mrs. Will Keyser, of “Pleasant View,” Washington. Graduation exercises will be held Monday, June 4, for the graduates of the 59th session of the academy. they will until late August. Cultivation at the side of the rows will keep the runners from spreading out of the rows. Plants that become too thick may be dug up. To get even distribution of plants in a row, it is often desirable tQ train the new runners by moving them with a hoe to the space the plants are needed. If needed, a small clod or stone back of teh tip of the runner will keep it in position until rooted. The best way to distribute the runners from a plant is to train them in all directions so the mothe plant is completely sur rounded by new growth. If a plant has too few runners, early runners from a nearby plant can be trained to the empty space to fill the row. iiiiiiiiiiicaiiiiiiiiiiiicaiiiiiiiiiiiicaiiiiiiiiiincsi REAL ESTATE I have prospect* for All Kinds of Property Outside Connections W.
