' ■ . ' VA^oa*VOL. 2—No. 30. WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY. MAY 31,1951. Dog Law Enforcement Demands Much Time According to figures compiled by the law enforcement division of the Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries, game, wardens of the commission destroyed more than 34,000 stray and unlicensed dogs throughout the State during 1950 in the course of their official duties. : In addition to this number, approximately25,000 dogs were killed on the highways of the Old Dominion throughout the year, for a total mortality of close to 60thousand. However, even -with the removal of this large section of the canine population, dog license sales at the Game Commission have increased at the rate of 5 per cent~ each year for the past several years. Law enforcement officials at ' the Commission are becoming concerned over the Increasing amount of time that the wardens have to devote to the enforcement of the dog laws of the state. Including time given to the investigation of damage claims for poultry and livestock due to marauding dogs, it is estimated that at present more than 40 per cent of a warden’s active duty - time is now given over to this phase of the enforcement picture. In some instances, particularly in those areas embracing a large urban population, the figure often rises to 90 per cent of the work lead. -Game officials point out that time so devoted by the warden must necessarily be at the expense of protection and development work for the wildlife of the state, supposedly the game warden’s chief interest, and today a 100-million-dollar-a-year industry in Virginia. In addition to Virginia, only two other states in the union, Delaware and Arkansas, hold the Game Commission responsible for dog law enforcement work, and in one of these, Arkansas, the Game Commission is responsible for the licensing of hunting dogs alone. -if--—New Manager At Southern States William J.

Campbell’s orchard, located at “Flat Woods” at ten o’clock Friday morning, June 1. Mr. Drieling will demonstrate and •instruct in the hose method, of thinning peaches which is a great labor and time saver. With the outlook for quality peaches being good; a heavy set being in some orchards, plus low moisture content of the soil being its present condition, thinning becomes all the mqre necessary if maximum ' returns are to be had. All peach growers are urged to take advantage of this opportunity to learn this method of thinning. Come and bring your orchard help. * * * Plans for the Four-State-FarmTour will get underway Thursday afternoon at 2 p.m. at the County Agent’s office in Winchester, according to Herman Stockslager, President. Maurice O’Bannon, C. C. Zinn and your county agent have been Invited to attend. These local committeemen would like to receive suggestions from our farmers regarding modern methods on farm equipment they would like to see demonstrated at the tour usually held in August. In the past this tour has attracted thousands of farm men and women, 4-H and FFA members from Pennsylvania,— Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia. Rappahannock for the past two years has had a commendable delegation in attendance. * * * Over the grapevine comes the word that Mrs. Frank Glass was made an offer of $1.25 per pound for the wool produced at Jessamine Hill, but refused to sell and will hold for the pool. Congratulations Mrs. Glass! For the past several years farmers selling their wool through the pool have received more money than those selling to dealers. Eddie Gore was offered $1.40 per pound for his sheep wool plus 5c commission on all he could buy at that figure. Eddie too knows where he can receive the most for his wool and declined the offer. * * * Recent observations have plainly indicated that sheep .well fed and housed during the past winter are shearing 3 to 5 pounds more per fleece than those given scant grain rations plus poor housing. This comparison was made on several lots of sheep all of which were of Western breeding and received by their owners from a carload shipment. The bulletin “Prosper with Sheep” is available at my office upon request and offers helpful suggestions proven worthy. » C. C. Zinn, manager The Shade, obtained blueprints qjf cattle pens and squeeze from this office, made certain modifications — most outstanding of ythich is an Automatic ' “cow catcher” of his own design —it works most satisfactorily! In fact, though the whole Affair lacks a few finishing touches which Mr. Zinn plans to put on, in one day from eight a.m. until fiye p.m. with an hour off for lunch, 1’39 cows, 6 bulls, and forty-odd cows were chained, ear tagged, bled and Vaccinated. From 5 to 6 p.m. all head were sprayed. Yes sir, we call this a good days work in nine hours on any man’s farm.

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 The Better Way I’d rather see a sermon than hear one any day; I’d rather one should -Walk -with me than merely show the way. The eyes a better pupil and more twilling than the ear; Fine counsel is confusing, but examples always clear; And the best of all the preachers are the men who live their creeds, For to see the good in action is what everybody needs. I can soon learn how to do it if you let me see it done, I can watch your hands in action, but your'tongue too fast may run; And the lectures you deliver maybe very wise and true, But I’d rather get my lesson by observing what you do. For I may misunderstand you and the high advice you give, But there’s no misunderstanding how you act and how you live. —Contributed Our Teachers— Bless ’Em Whtn the cares of the world begin to get you down, it takes but a short time to find a good reason to be thankful of your lot in many ways. The newspaper the other day carried articles about the school-teachers in New York on strike for higher wages. Run your mind over the list of teachers we have here in Rappahannock and see if you can locate one who would stoop to such indignity. One article in the papers was headed “regardless of who wins, the children lose.’’ Whether the teachers get higher pay and fewer work hours in the great city, the youngsters have paid for the time lost from their schooling, and they have paid for the inefficient hours of schooling they were supposed to get while the teachers’ minds were occupied with their own attempts toward getting their pay raised. Another article told that teachers had been refusing — during past years—to assume responsibility of extra-curricular activities of the schools, stating that they Would., not assume extra duties without extra pay. We don’t know when we are blessed. Look at the hours and extra evenings our teachers spend at the school, taking part in all manner of extra entertainments and activities for the children, or if for no other reason, just being present to show their interest. Can we, at any time even in the wildest notion of imagination, see our teachers participating in anything as course and common as to strike for higher pay? It’s so impossible it’s ridiculous. The school year is ending. The nerves of the teachers are frayed to thin threads. They’ve sweated, cajolled, pleaded, threatened, encouraged, and pushed the little ‘“darlings” all year to try to put something in«. the unwilling, thick little skulls. 'Hey know that where failure is their reward there will be children and parents who will state blandly, “the teacher didn’t pass him.” It never seems to occur to pupil and parent that the teacher enjoys failure about as much as the orchardist enjoys seeing his crop a failure. The teachers have worked hard "all year, and the object of their work war to see the children accomplish a year’s learning. When a child fails, the teacher feels she has failed, too, and failure is no pleasure. The teacher’s greatest joy is to see the youngster finish the year’s work with a record of accomplishment and success. We in Rappahannock are blessed with 9 group of conscientious, hard-working teachers who are interested in the progress of the learning of our children1. We are thankful for these teachers, and we are appreciative for their work • Auto Insurance • At Low A* $7.50 » (Down Payment) ■Would you like to pay for your ■ insurance by the month, quar■ter, or aemi*annually? • Call, write, or come in to see ua 5 about our easier way of paying ■ for any type of insurance. iRspniMlisi the largest ami 2 strongest companies is America !

It is our sincere hope that every teacher will enjoy her summer vacation, that she will rest—and, faith, she'll need it — and come back next fall, having forgot the hard work of the year, and tackle a new crowd of little urchins and try to make good ^citizens of them and pound a few facts into their heads. -- Advertisements Some people say the first thing they read in the paper is the classified column. “Not that I want to buy,” they’ll say, “just want to see what other folks have to sell, or what they want to buy.” Call it curiosity, or interest, or whatever you please, it’s just human nature to look and see what other folks are doing. The newspaper business is advertising. There are a few problems connected therewith, but there are interesting sidelights, too. Take, as an example, the fellow who hands over a long list of items he wants advertised for sale. He wants to be sure everyone sees the advertisement, but he also wants to see that it doesn’t cost him much. The printers joke about it, and declare that they are going to use 6-point type (that’s the size all the fine print is on contracts—necessitating a magnifying glass to even see it) and cram all>the advertising in the smallest possible space, and then sit back and listen to the fellow fuss about how his “ad” didn’t show up. There arise a few problems, too. A shoe store, as an example, will advertise certain shoes: “$3 off.-’ And a dozen-or-so people will come into the store and demand to see “them $3 shoes you adver- * tised in the paper.” The store-, manager calls the printer to task for not fixing the ad up right. The only explanation the printer can find is that he merely prints the paper, he can’t be responsible for the reading habits of the public. A story is told of a printer in Connecticut who made his living printing poorly. He printed handbills—and they attracted attention and comment. He mixed all sizes of type in a single word, or he’d print one or two letters upside-down, or perhaps misspell one very conspicuous word, or print part of the lines crooked. The purpose was to be sure people noticed the advertisement, and they did. --rfThe Country Doctor Say*: By R. M. METCALF, D.D. When polio came to Wytheville last summer, Johnny was lucky to have such a wise mother. She didn’t lose her head. She let Johnny keep on playing with his friends. She didn’t let a cousin from Kentucky visit them, however. She tried to keep her son from getting over-tired. The fact that polio germs are passed in human waste was known to Johnny’s mother; therefore she was very careful Johnny did not use another person’s towel, dishes, or tableware. During the epidemic she was even more particular than usual that Johnny wash his hands carefully before eating and after bowel movements. When Johnny got a sore throat his mother did not go into a panic. She put him to bed and watched closely. When he developed headache, fever, upset stomach, sore muscles, and a stiff neck she called the family doctor. The doctor studied Johnny for two days before lje was able to say definitely that polio was the cause of hissymptoms. Johnny recovered promptly. H^ is one of the half or more patients with polio who develop _no paralysis at all. But fof the wisdom of his mother he might have been one of the eight pec cent who die with the disease or one of the fifteen per cent who suffer severe paralysis. Polio may come to your community this summer. When it should be met with courage and knowledge.

It is unlikely that a city boy who doesn’t know the difference between a sawhorse and a work horse wants to set up practice in a rural county seat. Dr. Harold Diehl of the University of Minnesota investigated where the doctors graduating from that school came from and where they went to practice. Only a few (22 per cent) of the students who grew up in large cities settled in rural areas. The chances were two and a half times as great that a medical student, who had grown up in a rural community would set up practice in such an area. —Reprinted from Farm-Ranch magazine. -- MfttmMnMMNtNMIHMHUlHtHIHIUMNIHNMINMmnMV i § i'The Time Hat Come,9 1 S the Walras said ... f MtinniNiMiM With living costs higher and higher by the day, and taxes getting ready to follow the cow over the moon, a fellow in a clothing store the other day was trying to find his answer. A clothing store proprietor in a neighboring town tells of an old man coming into the store to buy a suit. The prices were too high to agree with his pocketbook—or his good sense. Finally, he tried to strike a bargain with the proprietor: “I’ll pay double the price you have on that suit if you’ll guarantee it’ll last twice as long as this suit I’m wearing,-’ was his side of the bargain offered. “How long have you had that suit?” questioned the proprietor. “Sixteen years,” came the reply- plyNow, there is sound reasoning. If we could have some guarantee that the food would do twice the regular amount of feeding, clothes would wear twice as long, and cars would give twice as much service, we would see some sense in paying twice as much cost and taxes. —Not that it does a bit of good to try to get some sense out of the high costs: you’ve got to buy necessities, anyway, and it’s the lucky man who can come out somewhere near even. * * * Don’t believe the world owes you a living; the world owes you nothing—it was here first. * * * —.Some corny guy has sent this ‘along the way: “Our vacation consists of 2 weeks which are 2 short, after which we are 2 tired 2 return 2 work and 2 broke not 2.” It is just such a thing as that which leads to the thought that some day we may be denied tne privilege of writing because of the abuse of it. * * * I’d love to idle by the sea and spend tl^e day in reverie, and dream of glories yet to come—and so would every other bum. * * * Back some years, a fellow said that a genius had made an automobile, but they let fools drive them.

School buses are guilty In this respect. I had one to stop in front of me the other morning, on a'curve with a solid line; no signal of any kind was given, and the red flashing light began to work after the bus had stopped and the door was opened. Fortunately I am afraid of just such tricks and I had seen the bus ahead of me. There was no way for my stopping had I not seen the bus earlier, for it pulled out of sight around the curve, and was stopped in the highway when I came around the curve on it. There happened to be a wide lane entrance where the bus stopped, but the driver did not use it. Had I crashed into that school bus, I would be termed an animal of the lowest order. It would have been my fault, and there is no telling to what extent I would have been prosecuted. I fear a school bus on the highway just a little more than a rat-, tlesnake. * * * This is the season of brides.' For fear some bridegroom may feel that he is of some importance, let him digest this: “Life isn’t fair to us men. When we are born, our mothers get the compliments and the flowers. When we are married, our brides get the presents and the publicity. When we die, our widows get the life insurance and the winters in Florida.” * * * Resolve to confer happiness on others—even if you have to let them alone to do it.° * * * They tell me basketball is a rough game. It’s even said that football is so violent that it should be Outlawed. Reports are that baseball season foretells the battle-royal which is prefaced by shouts of “Kill the umpire!” These games are employment of sissies. The region inhabited by cloven-footed imps hath no fury to compare with that which will soon be issuing from the front yards of many a home on a pleasant summer evening. Football is mild; basketball is sweet-tempered activity; and baseball is “mild as cottage cheese” in comparison to the feuds that can be raised over a game of croquet! The apparently meek contest of balls-wickets-and-mallets can raise a ruckus and temper like unto politick! Families have been known to sever speaking relations over the innocent little game. ,To guard your summer health: beware of dog-days and croquet l -- ENTERTAIN AT BRIDGE Mrs. G. W.

Of the nine Virginia Forest Service Districts in the state, the three west of the Blue Ridge had a lighter year than usual, due to rain and snow Henrico and Chesterfield counties of the Richmond district had over 100 forest fires in each county, partially due to the heavy population of these counties. However, these -fires were small, usually not exceeding three to four acres each.

Henrotty Bringing wet, swampy areas into production by- open ditch drainage is again coming to the front this year as an important soil and water conservation practice in the Culpeper Soil Conservation District. “Land which does not contribute to the overall production of a farm is costly in any farm operation,” says T. G. Ragsdals, Manager, Beauregard Farm, Brandy. The Production and Marketing Administration is in a position to 'lend financial aid to farmers who carry out open ditch drainage projects on their farms. A payment of 12c per cubic yard is paid for dirt moved from open ditches not to exceed $100.00 per farm. The project must first be surveyed by the Soil Conservation Service Technician before any iwork is done and again after the work is completed to determine if the work is up to standard. Six farmers have already done opjpn djitch drainage work this year and are eligible for payment through the FMA.. Included in this group are: Gore Bros. Reva; Ed Floyd, Brandy; James A. Weaver, Culpeper; William J. Smith ’ and Son, Culpeper; Dick C. Weaver, Boston; and J. Carlton Clore, Culpeper.

SILVEY On the 12th day of August 1829, Benjamin Bayse and Ruth his wife, of the County of Culpeper (before Rappahannock was cut off from Culpeper County), sold a piece of land, one-half acre upon which the Methodist Church now stands, to the following, viz.: John Amiss, Elizah Amiss, Joseph Amiss and Thomas Spindle, Trustees for the Methodist Episcopal Church. A deed was given by Benjamin Bayse and Ruth his wife, and was recorded by the Clerk of County, Court of Culpeper, and personally acknowledged by the two Justices of the Peace, viz.: Pierce Perry and Daniel Ward on the 2nd day of March 1831, and put on Record on the 18th day of April 1831. Teste by F. T. Lightfoot, County Clerk. So there can be no question raised to refute the assertion' that the Amissville Methodist Church is the oldest Methodist Church in the County of Rappahannock. It is very evident that there was an old Church erected some time between 1829 and 1831. The present building was erected on same ground before * the Civil War 1861 and contractors and carpenters were Billy Baker, Macrus Lawler and Edwin Green, Mr. Green who moved later to Front Royal. The only Camp Meeting held on the Rappahannock Charge was conducted at Amissville every summer continuously for ten years. The camp meetings lasted for about ten days each year and some of the able ministers of the Virginia Conference attended and conducted services. A Tabernacle was erected to hold at least 1,000 people and a good many tents were constructed and were occupied by families during the time Camp Meeting was running. The first Sunday School Superintendent that we can recall was Mr. William Spindle, afterwards were Samuel F. Baker, L. E. Hackley, J. Maurice Rowzie and Graham Hackley. It is evidently true from statistics we have mentioned that Amissville Methodist Church has existed over one hundred years and could with propriety, celebrate its 100th Anniversary at any time. From 1840 to 1849 the membership included 368 whites and 16 Negroes. The Charge was called Culpeper but in 1871 we find Rappahannock Mission is mentional along with Rappahannock Circuit. - - - It is very interesting to note that Rappahannock Charge has been on eight different districts, viz.: James River, Richmond, Fredericksburg, Rappahannock, Randolph-Macon, Washington, Alexandria, and Charlottesville. The first Methodist parsonage on the Rappahannock Charge was in Amissville. The writer can remember when it was occupied hy Rev. Lewis H. Graybill from 1865 to 1869. The first District Conference held on the charge was at Amissville in 1877 and Rev. J. W. Hildrup was pastor. It might be of interest to note that he was the father of Mrs. T. G. Pullen. There have been two other District Conferences held on the charge. One at Flint Hill in 1890 during the pastorate of Rev. Charles H. McGee and the other at Sperryville in 1928 while Rec. C. L. Salmon was serving the charge as pastor. Rev. James B. Fitzpatrick was pastor at the beginning of the Civil War. He married a Miss Dear of Washington, Va., who was a sister of Charlie Dear. It is reported that he formed a company, trained them and was later made captain. The Amissville Methodist Church has the honor- of having been the home church of the Rev. Edward Amiss Roads.

THIS & THAT by e-nily b. miller Once there were 4,000,000 soldiers of the Civil War, last year there were 43, last March there were 26; now there are only 20— 13 of the Confederate Army and seven of the Union Army — a shi inking biidgehead in time. While talking- to them they patiently make .the long journey back in memory to Shiloli, Gettysburg and Vicksburg, to the last time Americans fought Americans. Now 86 years after Appomattox there are just these few ltmainiiig Old Soldiers (as MacArthur quoted a song “Old Soldiers neve: die, they just fade away'. Only four of the 20 were able to attend the annual reunion in Norfolk Wednesday the 30th— John A. Marcum of Berta, Ark. is the youngest, he is 97; James A.

The people of Rappahannock will lemember the picnic lunches given for the Confederate Soldiers for a great many years by Mr. and Mrs. Willie Wood at their home “Ivy Hill”. As a child I can remember hearing a tale told of an old soldier who lived at the Old Soldiers’ Home in Richmond—a young attiactive widow who hail recently lost her husband had taken her children for an outing to the Soldier’s Home (theie was a beautiful pa;k there), up came'this very old and crippled soldier and seeing the lady was dressed in mourning, ne sat down by her, and asked “What you doing over here young lady, looking 'em over?” * * * Answer to last week’s .quiz-—A louse. The louse has not been domesticated, and belongs to the animal kingdom. 1 heir name is legion,'habitat from Pole to Pole, prey on animals 24 hours in the day, 12 months in the year. As aphids they prey on vegetation from April to frost. It is said that a louse can be a grandmother in 48 hours. * * * THE LEGEND OF THE DOGWOOD TREE At the time of Christ’s Crucifixion, the dogwood tree was as large and strong as the rugged oak, and was chosen as the timber for the cross. To be used for this cruel purpose distressed the dogwood tree, and Jesus,in His great pity, promised: - “Never again shall you grow laige enough to be used for a cross. From this moment forward the dogwood tree shall be slender and twisted; its blossoms in the form of a cross—two long and two short petals. At the edge of each petal there shall be nail prints in the center of the flower, a Crown of Thorns. And this tree shall be cherished as a reminder of My Cross.” And so it has been. During each springtime the flowering of the Dogwood has remained a symbol of Divine Sacrifice and the triumph of Eternal Life. -IfMr. and Mrs. Alfred Armstrong of Williamsburg and sons Miller and Freddie were week-end guests of Mrs. Armstrong’s mother Mrs. --Lily Barber.

Thirty-one members of the Pittsburgh Section, Society of Automotive Engineers (indicated by numbers at left of diagram), recently drove the same automobile over the same course. Their results (shown by position ,of autos above) ranged from a low of 10.32 miles per gallon to an average of 13.50, to a high of 17.28. High scorer got 70% more mileage than the low.

Pennock, Jr., Forester How long does it take a tree to reach maturity? Depending upon the species, it usually takes about 50 to 100 years to grow a tree from a seedling to that of sawtimber size. Therefore, you can easily see, if you cut all your timber at one time, it may be another 50 to 100 years before you again have trees of sawtimber size. The average volume of sawtimber per. acre for the forest lands in Virginia is only 1,700 board feet, and the annual growth per acre is only 112 board feet. If this condition is permitted to continue, trees suitable for lumber will no longer exist. Our forests will grow 2 to 3 times more sawtimber per acre LOOK AT THE From Top to ★ 8 Vi cu. ft. within the main shelf area—p/u* 2 extra cu. ft. utilized by the refrigerated Fruit-Freshener! ★ 40-lb.
