VOL. 2—No. 29. -—WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY, MAY 24, 1951 $2.00 Per Year Saturday I* Poppy Day In Rappahannock At its regular meeting, May 21, the Rappahannock Post, Veterans of Foreign Wars, voted to set May 26 as Poppy Day. It is hoped that all who are contacted will buy a poppy and contribute something to the general cause. Receipts from these sales are used to help needy veterans, and especial-* ly for wounded and handicapped men. Don’t ft»rget these fellows who have done so much for you. On Decoration Day members of the Rappahannock Post will place markers on the graves of deceased members of the Veterans of Foreign Wars organization. This will be done in different areas of the county and all graves will be marked in the near future. Please notify Carson Johnson or James Atkins at Sperryville if there is a member of yol*r family, or some friend, whose last resting place should have one of these markers. This will be done for all veterans whether they were killed in the service or have since died of natural causes. * All members are requested to attend the next regular meeting June 4, at the V.F.W. Hall. -j/-. Children's Home Society Drive Now Underway , Edward A. Wayne of Richmond, Chairman of the State-wide annual solicitation for the Children’s Home Society of Virginia, announced the appointment of Mrs. D. D. Miller of Washington, as chairman for Rappahannock, with the following assistants: Slate Mills, Mrs. L. R. Hudson; Woodville, Miss Bertha Johnson; Sperryville, Mrs. M. Kathleen Lawrence ; Amissville, Mrs. A. C. Latham, Jr.; Flint HHl, Mrs. Frances ■Gilbert, and fo* Washington, Mrs. Floyd Compton. The local drive is scheduled to be conducted the last two weeks in May. Mr. Wayne, who is a vice-president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, said, “We are very glad to secure Mrs. Miller and her assistants and are looking for. ward to having a very successful campaign in Rappahannock. We do not expect to achieve an easy success in our efforts to raise $150,000 throughout the State, but we know how very important our work is in times like these. The .Society took large numbers of babies into care during both the first* and second world wars and we know that mobilization and the consequent dislocation of normal family life will increase the calls made on us. They are increasing already.”— Last year the Society increased the number of new children received, the total number in care and the number placed for adoption. “But we need to increase our income also if we are to continue to do this work,” said Mr. Wayne. “Our costs have gone up like everything else. When your people contribute this year ask them to give something extra, if possible.” Among the thousands of contributors are two brothers living in another state who send generous checks year after year with a letter expressing their approval of the work the Society is doing. Twenty-five years ago the Children’s Home Society found a home for them. Mrs. Eunice Atkins Dies At Home In Linden Mrs. Eunice Ella Atkins died Saturday at her heme in Linden, aged 62.

It is reported that Culpeper farmers during November 16 to April 30, purchased more registered sires of the beef, swine, and sheep breeds in proportion to her livestock numbers than any other county in Virginia, however, Rappahannock farmers are expected to surpass them. Watch out, Culpeper ... we are out to get ahead I Any Rappahannock farmer having purchased a purebred sire(s) and whose name does not appear above, please contact my officek Also Robert E. (Sam) Miller is indeed of two good Angus bulls 18-24 months of age. * * * Ceiling prices on beef cattle is a general gripe and probably rightfully so; however, it peers like our members of Shen-Valley Meat Packers, Inc. have an advantage. Since apparently under the new regulations cattle are to be priced on a dressing percentage basis, and this plant capsaccurately determine such to a fraction, members should not worry about anyone out-guessing or out-talking them on this point. Then, too, members will share equally in the profits made on the meat processed and sold by Shen-Valley.* * * Rappahannock Fruit Growers are again reminded that Professor Teske will be here for a discussion of their orchard problems today, May 24, at 8 o’clock this evening at the Courthouse in Washington. Also tentative plans are to have a peach-thinning demonstration (hose method) on June 1 by Fred Dreiling, also of VPI Horticulture staff. * * * Finally the new bayonet point ordered somt time ago for the county-owned motor-driven shearing outfit arrived. Frank Grimsley has been taught how to operate this machine and is making good progress as a shearer. Brewton and Lee Settle are shearing with the electric shears, so with three rigs going there should be no ex-i cuse for anyone hot to have their sheep shorn by wool-pooling date, June 14. HOWEVER, DON’T WAIT until the last minute tomake your shearing plans. All of these shearers have their own crops, livestock, and general farm work to look after and there have been some idle machines when they could have been away shear-* ing, .

Do so now and shift the flock to a new field. Just this week I saw a sizeable flock of ewes with lambs old enough to. have been marketed but which will not be ready for market until fall—all because of internal parasites intensified by continuous grazing in the same field. Such negligence of “puttin’ off” usually equals the difference between success and failure. end guest of Mrs. Betsy Harrell.

Junior Class Host to Seniors The Juniors of Rappahannock County High School, class of ’52, entertained the Seniors at a picnic supper and movie party at Old Hickory Tea Room in Culpeper Thursday, May 17. The students left the school at four o’clock via' school bus, with the intrepid and efficient John Walker Jenkins as chauffeur. It was only on the return trip that John Walker found it -*-er,—ah— expedient to surrender his duties to the equally capable George Lawrence. After a picnic supper, consisting of hot dogs, potato salad and chips, pickles, pie, and soft drinks, the group was entertained briefly by watching the Falmouth—Culpeper H. S. teams “warming up” for their night game. Others of the party danced to the juke box, and everyone seemed to eat continuously of the bountiful fare. Movie time seemed to roll around all too soon for many, but others were eager to be off for the Drive-Inn Theatre, where Mr. T. I. Martin, manager of Pitts Theatres was gracious host to the party. This selection of theatres proved to be a happy one as some of the wallets in some of the iblue jeans of the Juniors were a little worn! The entire group declared the picnjf a great success, doubtlessly caused by the fact that all who went were there because they wanted to be there. “Doubting Thomases” need only to have heard the “joyful noise” both going and coming. * * * * R.

H Man Inhabited America When -Glaciers Retreated An “atomic” calendar has indicated that man first lived in North America 10,000 years ago, shortly after the glaciers receded. The calendar, based on a study of radioactive carbon which can be dated, was prepared by a team of Chicago scientists and described at a recent meeting of the National Academy of Sciences in session at General Electric’s new research laboratory. Dr. Willard F. Libby of the University of Chicago, leader of the group that prepared the master calendar said it also showed that: The first known human beings on North America lived in Oregon and Nevada, and man did not live on the east coast until 5000 years ago. In 4000 B.C. Egypt had a simple village and agricultural existence. By 3000 B.C. it had its first dynasty. Mexico was inhabited at least 7000 years ago. The famous pyramid of the sun near Mexico City was built about 300 B.C. The volcanic explosion which created Crater Lake, Oregon, occurred 6500 years ago. These estimates are based on a study of radioactive carbon formed in the upper atmosphere by cosmic rays which have what scientists call a 5568-year halflife. This means that in many years the substance loses half its radiaactivity. After some 25,000 years, only %a minute amount of radiothe block that stoc WILL E AT!

Washington, y a. activity can b« detected. Thus the atomic calendar can go no further back than 25,000 years. Libby estimated that the cypress wood swamp at Myrtle Beach, N.C., is “more than 20,000 year* old.” Ho said the last ice age in the middle west was 12,000 years ago, rather than 20,600 years as is generally estimated by geologists. He also said this glacial era apparently was going on at the same time in Ireland, England and Germany. The calendar showed that during a recession of the ice cap in North America, spruce tree&grew in what today is known as the Two Creeks, Wise., forest bed and that when the climate turned colder, the advancing ice mowed down the trees, which today are found under a sheath of rubble. The scientists measured minute amount of radioactive carbon in 300 pairs of fiber sandals found in a cave in eastern Oregon by L. S. Cressman of the University of Oregon and estimated that the sandals were 10,000 years old. They studied a fish weir made of stakes found during excavations in Boylston St., Boston, to make the estimate of first human life in the east. They also studied ^ncient charcoal remnants of camp fires in New York State and deer antlers from Kentucky. In studying the radioactivity, Dr. Libby uses a geiger counter, a delicate instrument that records the tiniest spark of radiation. Tne carbon is extracted from fossils by chemical separation. -W tMtHmaitiMmiiitMitMiHiiimMiiiiiiMMiiiimiiiiiiiiiMiifMI I ‘The Time Has Come * j the Walru* iiid ... : i 1 It’s powerful dry on gardens.

There’s a Bureau of Weights and Measures, sending men about to check on scales in stores to see that they give accurate measures, to check on gas tanks to see that you get all the gas you pay for, and they even check to see that the bottom of an apple basket isn’t packed with paper. These men really have tales to tell. They found a meat-seller who didn’t resort to the old gag of “(weighing his thumb,” but placed an electric fan at a point where the “blow” from the fan would cause the scales to give him a oneounce advantage over the customer. The inspectors caught him. * * * Did you see the cartoon where the housewife asked the butcher “What are you going to name your yacht?” when he informed her the round steaks were selling at $1.15 a pound, and pork chops at 79-cents? * * * History tells us that momentous occasions have occurred at this season of the year. Seven years ago, about this time, was the great Mississippi flood, when we sat by the radio and listened to reports of the destruction of life and property caused by Old Man Rivei* going amuck. May 21, 1327 was the day Lindbergh landed in Paris, after his one-man conquering of the Atlnatie. 250 years ago yesterday, May 23, 1701, Captain Kidd was hanged in London. 132 years ago today, Queen victoria was born. About this time, some years back, I was busily trying to get up all the required book reports, write-ups, and various other neglected items of my school work, in one last, final effort to redeem my record sufficiently to get my name inscribed upon a high school diploma. But I suppose times have chang-, ed.

Articles told brides about customs of weddings, who foots what bills (poor pa!), and what kind of music is best for the church ceremony. * It’s odd how quickly one’s mind jumps from the sublime to the ridiculous at the mention of a subject. That mention of the church wedding music reminded me of two experiences. One was the time I attended a womanless wedding and the solo of the occasion was “Just Before the Battle, Mother.” The other occasion brought to mind was- the time >we kids had the funeral for the kitten. The youngsters were so upset at the untimely departure of the kitten that someone suggested a funeral to divert attention. It was a gala affair. It required plans for half the day and necessitated inviting all the kids from the neighborhood. Time has erased from memory most of the program arranged, but I recall that the limit of our musical numbers for solo consisted of “I’m Forever Blowing Bubbles,” and one of the brighter kids * of the neighborhood had. learned the Marseillaise, in French, at Chautauqua that summer. That added much to the program, and' gave a small case of hysterics to the grown-ups next door who attended the services. I can’t remember much more about the occasion, but It’s pretty certain that if the kids in the neighborhood were invited, they expected — and got — refreshments before they went home. Washington W. S. C. S. Met Last Thursday The W.S.C.S. of the Washington Methodist church met with Miss Ethel Jenkins and Mrs. Clarence Racer Thursday night with sixteen members, four visitors and one new member, Mrs. Rhoda Pullen.

Mr. Martin is from a little village, Haggenback Haut-Rhin, in the southern part of France, Mr. deFerandy is from a village in-the northern part of France, called Sarthe, even though they are from the same country their accent is entirely different. They had not known each other until coming to our country this spring. Mr. Martin was in World War II for three years, for a year and a half he was a prisoner of the Germans. Mr. deFerandy served as a paratrooper in the French army, he as yet is still unmarried (he is teased a great deal about trying to find a wife, he gets a big laugh from this and seems to enjoy the teasing). deFerandy is the son of an army colonel. His family had hoped he would also love the army and make it his life work, but he loved the land, so he bought himself a farm. He also has orchards, which surprised me, as I did not realise apples were grown in France commercially. His greatest wonder on seeing the farms in America were the homes on the farms, “they are so big and the barns so small,” in my country the houses small, barns they are big, the barns are three and four hundred years old, the ways this big” (showing us how big with his hands). English speaking does not come as easily to Mr. deFerany as to Mr. Martin, but iwith his little English dictionary he does remarkably well. Another thing which surprised him very much was seeing a well-dressed man chewing tobacco, said he had always heard America was very sanitary, “but that is dirty,” Mrs. Wood and I tried to explain to him that it was not really dirty, but just a very bad habit, he agreed it was, and also dirty.

Asking Martin the other night about conditions in his country and in Europe, he replied “bad, place to live right now”, but the people have great faith in General Eisenhower, and believe he, will help bring lasting peace, but he remarked, “He only has one or two years to be there, this is the v> «► 32 latest model American stock cars got amazing 23.923 miles per gallon in grueling, 840-mile Los Angeles-to-Grand Canyon Mobilgas Economy Rim ... proof that you can improve the performance of your car, too!

JFirat Baptist CMpirrlf FLINT MILL, VIRGINIA It was around the year 1770 that Allen Wiley, a Baptist preacher came to the Flint Hill community. Bitter opposition forced him to move on to Orange county. Later on another Bap tist preacher, L<ewis Conner moved nearby and preached where he was permitted to hold servicesNot until December 20, 1853, was there any organized group of people called ‘‘Baptists’’. On this date the Baptist Society of Flint Hill purchased a large lot in the heart of the village.-’ James Moore consented to oversee the building of the church and freely gave of his time labor of his slaves. Records reveal the writing of the Church Covenant and the constitution of a Flint Hill Baptist \. ttui Church, September zs, 1854. It is thought the church building was completed at this time, and the same building is being used today. - The first congregation was composed of 6 men and 18 women as charter members of the church- They were members of “good standing” from the mother church of the same faith and order; Mount Salem Baptist church- In October, 1854 Barnett Grimsley became the first pastor and the church became affiliated with the Shiloh Association of the General Baptist Association of Virginia. In October, 1864, during the Civil War, a theological student by the name of Albert Willis was buried in the cemetery back of the church. Willis was taken captive the day before and was put to death without ’trial. While he was not a chaplain of the Confederate Army, he was carrying on a pastoral service for the men in Mosby’s Rangers. In the year 1872 the church called Thomas F. Grimsley, son of the much beloved pastor. He served for seven years and was followed by S. J. Fristoe, Hugh Goodwin, Atwell Tucker and F. P. Berkley. The church membership was increased to a total of sixty-five at the turn of the centuryOther pastors have been L- D. Bass, J. E. Raymond, C. W. Collier, M. F. Sanford, Charles Clement, W. J.

Without any tax load it would cost you only $1,486. The tax alone costs the buyer $230 down and $30 per month for~15 months under the present Federal Reserve Board Regulation “W”. Then Mr. Car Buyer purchases the car on top of the Federal and State taxes, paying 1/3 down or $495 more and $66 per month for 15 months. Putting the two together, it’s $726 down payment and $96 per month and no interest or insurance is included. 31% of your new car will be taxes if we let the new Excise Tax become law. The. contemplated new tax ST $161.00 will come out of the car buyer’s pocket. If the buyer purchased the new car at dealer cost, the $675 would still be there: And the interest of f JQl^on, the lower priced cars will be there unless Mr. Public writes or wires the Ways and Means Committee, Washington, D.C., that you have had enough. The full increase will not be a profit item to the manufacturer, or the dealer— it will be collected from the ultimate consumer and returned to the government. ALREADY 25%, appropriately, of what you pay for a new car is Taxes—already your new car dealer is compelled to pass on to you a 3V2% car price increase recently established by the government —already another government regulation has compelled you to pay one-third down and limited your time-payments to fifteen months—and now a bill being considered by the Ways and Means Committee of Congress would increase the present 7% Federal Excise Tax on new cars to 20%. Already millions3of people who need cars in the conduct of their work are priced out of car ownership. This new tax threatens to increase the cost of evep the lowest-priced car beyond the reach of millions of additional potential buyers—and to increase the cost of larger cars as much as $334.20. HALF OF THE CARS SOLD IN 1950 WERE PLYMOUTH-FORD-CHEVROLET Yes! 49-1% of the 6,663,461 passenger cars pro* duced in 1950 were 3,276,525 Plymouths, 'Fords, Chevrolets of the low price field- These were built to fill the needs and fit the pocketbooks of the 84% of working families who earn less than $5,' 000 a year. Of the 49,000,000 (millions) employed families an.d unrelated employed persons (comprising our 153 million population) 39% earned less than $2,000 annually, and only 16% made more than $5,000 annually. These 49.1% ($5,000 or less payearners) are the people who will be priced out of th car-owning market if the now contemplated increase in Federal Excise Tax on automobiles becomes law. This is more than a matter that concerns the 50,000 automobile dealers in U.S.A. and their 500,000 emplovees plus their families. It more than concerns the motor vehicle manufacturers, their employees and their stockholders. It is a matter that concerns every person in U S A. It vitally concerns every one of the 49.1% who buy cars in the low price field—and practically all of the 84% who earn less than $5,000 per year. YOUR CAR IS ESSENTIAL The essentiality of the automobile in American life is more vital today than ever before. We are at war, and preparing for an enormous defense program. Whether we like it or not, we are a nation long since committed to going to Work and transporting the product of our work in motor vehicles. The very locations of our factories and the travel arteries that reach them are, based upon the essentiality of motor vehicle transportation. An.d topping this essentiality is the family automobile. The family that is without one is out of quick transportation, out of luck; and often out of productive work. LET CONGRESS KNOW HOW YOU FEEL!
