fa***' ••••«*• '*** u sut* w®**'* mch»oM-»* WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 28, 1951 Sperryville Fire Co. Oean $560 On Carnival The Sperryville Fire Company realized $560.88 on the carnival held last week on the school grounds. ‘ That’s the whole story. The ,fact that that one statement is the whole story is the greatest sadness that befalls the local newspaper.' There are many good stories, that could be told about the time the local people had at the carnival, but the fellows who print the newspaper don’t want to be run out of the couny. There’s the story of the fellow who was kidded for working in a "gambling” booth, and his mother such a religious lady, too. He’d shoot somebody if that story came out in the paper. There waa a “hoochy-coochy” dancing show—and nobody closed it. Many a good story can be told about that one, but, there again, it can’t be printed. Woe is the poor newspaper printer, If you want to know bow much th|e county people enjoyed the fireman’s carnival, ask them! ■ ■ ■ w.. Bible School Holds Commencement Exercises At the regular fourth Sunday evening aervices, Washington Baptist church, the commencement for Vacation Church School iwas held, June 24. A large per cent of the 86 enrolled during the previous week were present. The boys end girls participated in their service with hymns, scripture reading, prayers, responses, and special music. The beginner class san "Happy Day” and the primary group gave “Father, We Thank Thee” as a special number. The junior class offered “He Loves Me” and “He Sends the Rainbow,” while the intermediate group gave the hymn, “O, Jesus, I Have Promised.” The service included the pledges to the American and Christian flags and to the Bible. Two large silk flags added color to the worship service. The offering taken totaled 112.28. Each boy and girl was given a certificate of Vacation Church Attendance. Fifteen adults on the faculty gave freely of their services and time. Another feature of the evening was the display of handwork. The main articles were, beginners, paper cut-out church; primary, Bible picture books; juniors, Bible book warks in leather; intermediates, “Favorite Bible Verse” autograph book in wood. The service was concluded with a sermon for children taken from the parable of the "Foolish Rich Man.” -- Waring—Chapman The marriage of Miss Betty Jane Chapman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David Vance Chapman, Jr., to Burnet Lewis Waring, son of Mr. and Mrs. William George Waring of West Point, took place Saturday afternoon, June 23, in Westhampton Methodist church. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Harry Eaton, assisted by the Rev. James Lincoln of St. John’s Episcopal church at West Point. The bride is a granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. V. Chapman of Sperryville. Miss Patricia Forbes of Front Royal, a cousin of the bride, was a member of the wedding party, and David Vance Chapman, III, was a groomsman. A reception was held at. the Officers Club, Richmond, after which Mr. and Mrs. Waring left for a southern wedding trip. -W Plan* Discussed Monday For Blood Mobile Unit Miss Marion DeLeon, general field representative. Eastern Area Aihencan* vriA m nappahannock county Monday to meet with a group of interested citisens regarding this county’s participation in the Red Cross blood donor program. The discussion lead to the present set-up of trying to see if there is a possibility of having one of the Red Cross mobile units come into the county to receive the blood from donors. Local citizens feel that it is not fair to ask the mobile unit to plan the trip unless the regular number of donors can be obtained. A mobile unit expects to get 150 pints of blood per visit and it makes two visits per jfbar. This. blood given to the Red Cross is primarily for civilian use. Any county patient is entitled to this blood free of charge. Some of the blood, of course, is sent to Korea if it is needed, but most of it is in hospitals for use by the ill from the county from which it is giran. RAPP-OHATS By: W. H. Lyne County AgOnt Waa in Arlington over the past week end. Saw Japanese Beetle emerging by the thousands! Never before (witnessed such a thing . . while beetles only started ‘coming out’ four days previous, they were coming out of the sod 10-15 at a time in areas less than a square foot and thqye was no trouble seeing where they were coming out . . . here . . . there. . . everywhere! Those city-dwellers had paid $8 per yard (postage stamp size) to have them treated with milky spore dust. It’ll not cost you yard owners here in Rappahannock that much even if there is an acre in-your yard . . matter of fact, it’ll cost here about 75-cents per yard in Washington, Flint Hill, Sperryville, Amissville, or, Woodville. Those Arlington folks I mentioned above were in a new development. Your problem is not as great as theirs (yet). Get ready. Get Spore Dust. Get rid of the beetles. Shoot at them with both barrels. DDT for the adult and spore dust to make your yards and pastures, beetlegrub-proof. Another thing — ’t/was hot as Hades, too, but before a lady’s laundry could dry, I saw her rush out and brush the beetles off halfa-dozen times or more. Matter of fact, I’ve known cases right here in Rappahannock where- housewives have had to re-do the laundry because of beetle. Remember, we have the spore dust here at |1.26 per pound or you can buy it elsewhere for f 4.50, One thing for sure, if Rappahannock's supply of spore dust isn’t used shortly, the Board of Supervisors is going to sell it to other county residents. Let a word to the wise be sufficient. * * e Guy de Faraudy, the French farmer at Downing Wood's, will soon be leaving Rappahannock county to observe and work at orcharding in another section of the great ole U.S.A. A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of having Guy /with me over the week end at my parent’s-in-law during which time all of us grew to like Guy more than just a little. I have never seen a. more courteous young man nor one more desirous of learning not only fruit production but anything there . was to know about farm operations, fianancing, management, etc. Guy, we wish you a pleasant journey throughout your stay here in our country and will always remember Lafayette’s assistance at Yorktown. I’m the more happy to have been able to show you those battlefields as well as Williamsburg and Jamestown. -X‘Preparation Day’ Set for Vacation Bible School “Preparation Day” for the Vacation Bible School of Amissville and Viewtown communities will be held Friday, June 29, at Amissville Baptist church. All boys and girls of these communities are urged to be present Friday morning at 10 o’cloc. The school will continue through the next week concluding on July 6.

We, the people of the United States, are 175 years old, and yet, as individuals, we are the same that we were in 1776. We believe in liberty for individuals, just as did Thomas Jefferson, who penned the lines quoted above; j’ust as did George Washington, a wealthy planter who could have sat at home in comfort, but preferred to spend a winter in Valley Forge defending man’s liberty; just as have 175 years of men and women who still believe the lines ‘‘their . . . Rights ... are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.” The struggle to maintain liberty has been hard, it is hard, and always will be hard. It is difficult to face service in the armed forces to preserve liberty. It is diffcult to remember in daily living that the other man has equal rights with you and he must be treated fairly. It will be difficult in the future* as it is now, to convince all men, regardless of greed and jealousy, that each man has the right to liberty and choice, and that communism, totalitarianism, nor any other ’ism can be forced up&n him. Liberty is our birthright; 175 years old. Leave Wildlife Alone About this tim« of year outdoor lovers begin to run across young fawns, bear cubs, baby raccoons, and the young of other animals, all of which make wonder, ful pets. In practically all cases, these animals are captured by persons who think they have been lost or left to starve by their parents. Actually, such an occurrence is rare, as in most instances the parent has been frightened away and has left its young only temporarily. “These animals should be left in the woods where they belong,” warns Ned Thornton, assistant chief of the Commission’s game division. “It is against the law to do otherwise, and good sportsmen and conservation-minded individuals will leaYe them there so that they may furnish sport and pleasure to all.” -rf-— Bndge Club Meets At “The Mades” Mrs. J.

Students May Choose Branch of Service Virginia Selective Service local boards are now sending letters to college and high school students which will give each student, who has beeft ordered for induction, the opportunity to request permission to enlist in the branch of service of his choice, provided he makes this choice within 30 days. College students who do not qualify scholastically for deferment or do not make the necessary score on the Selective. Service college qualification test may choose their branch of service. College and high school students who have been ordered for induction and whose induction was postponed until the end of the academic year must enlist and report for active duty within 30 days after the close of school. Letters are also being mailed to college students, whether ordered for induction or not, requesting information as to whether the student has taken or will take the Selective Service college qualification test, and whether or not the college that he attended during the last academic year is going to inform the local board of his scholastic standing. A college student, whether ordered for induction or not, will be considered for defesment during the nest school year if he makes a qualifying score on the test or has a qualifying scholastic standing. “Students should promptly reply to letters from their local boards regarding the tests and class standing in order that the local board may delay further processing of the student for induction long enough to consider the evidence to be received,” an official at state headquarters has said.

Henretty Culpeper and Rappahannock county fishermen will be interest* ed to know that six more farm ponds have been stocked with large mouth black bass by Soil Conservation Service technicians working in co-operation with the Culpeper Soil Conservation District. Those farmers receiving fish through the district included: Charles E. Marsh, Washington, 1.7 acres; Robert L. Brown, Wodville, .8 acre; R. E. Jones, Culpeper, .7 acre; E. H. McMullen, Crooked Run, .3 acre; Jere T. White, White Shop, .6 acre; and E. W. Sims, Crooked Run, 1 acre. With the exception of Jock Brown’s pond, all the ponds were constructed last, fall and winter and have been completely filled with water for several months. The above mentioned group oi; farmers have all developed complete soil and water conservation plans in cooperation with their 6oil conservation district and are eligible to receive fish through the district. “A farmer must have at least declared his intention to become a conservation farmer before he can be granted fish through the soil conservation district,” says T. G. Ragsdale, supervisor from Culpeper county on the district board. Twelve to 1500 pounds of fertilizer per acre of surface water per year is being applied to the more successful farm pond owners. Ponds that are not well fertilized are not desirable for fish culture and the fish will not make proper growth. Ponds in northern Virginia should yield from 200 to 400 pounds of fish per acre per year after they are properly esablished according to experimental results. -w Miss Gertrude Burdette Mias Gertrud* Burdette died Friday, June 22, at the home of her cousins, Misses Susie and Lucy StringfeUow and.

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 Tomorrow He was going to all that a mortal could be Tomorrow; No one should be kinder or braver than he Tomorrow; A friend who was troubled and (weary he knew Who’d be glad of a lift and who needed it, too; On him he would call and see what he could do Tomorrow. Each morning he stacked up the letter he’d write Tomorrow; And he thought of the folks he would fill with delight Tomorrow; It was bad, indeed, he was busy today, And hadn’t a minute to stop on his way; "More time I’ll have to give others,” he’d say, "Tomorrow.” The greatest of workers this man would have been Tomorrow; The world would have known him had-he ever seen Tomorrow; But the fact is he died and he faded from view, And all that he left here when living was through Was a mountain of things he intended to do Tomorrow. —Anonymous (contributed) ->«/ Concern Is A Good Sign Some of the volunteer firemen of Rappahannock Volunteer Fire Company are seriously and genuinely concerned about the inactivity of the fire company at Washington. v One fireman stated yesterday that he was going to attend the town council meeting and see if something could be done to encourage the fire company to have drills and keep up efficiency and interest in the fire-fighting group. “It’s too late after a fire has swept out somebody’s home,” was his comment. Other firemen say that, while there is little actual fire-fighting to do—thank goodness—; it is necessary to keep interest alive and keep the firemen and the citizens awake to dangers and awake to the necessity of keeping a ready, willing, and able group of Volunteer fire-fighters. It is thought that a number of young men in the community should be interested in joining the group to protect homes, but there is defficulty in keeping the interest unless the gorup of firemen is more actively engaged in practice with the fire equipment and shows an interest in the organization. The dissatisfaction of the firemen is a healthy sign. When a fellow recognizes the dangers, he can do something about them, ^he greatest danger lies when no one can see the faults of an organization and see where improvement is needed. Whence the Name? Front Royal is distributing a charming little leaflet telling of the assumed origin of the city’s name. < “In Colonial days, a giant oak —the “royal” tree'of England— stood in the public square where Chester and Main streets now join. There, on Muster Days, was drilled the local militia, composed of raw recruits slow to learn military commands and maneuvers. On one occasion, the sorely tried drill sergeant became so exasperated by the clumsy efforts of his troops and their failure to follow his command, that he hit upon a phrase all eouid understand and shouted: “Front the royal oak!” Among the spectators was a Mr. Forsythe, who had been a professional soldier, and was so amused by the officer’s coined order that he and his friends found much sport in telling of the occurrence, repeating “Front the Royal oak” until Front Royal was the resulting derivation. (Information furnished by Miss Virginia Hale)” Around our cotfnty, it’s not so hard to know the origin of the names of m%st of the villages. There is a sledgehammer convenient to brain the first wisecracker who says, "Where did Washington get its name?” Sperryville is supposed to have been named for a family by the name of Sperry #ho once lived there; and there are enough Wood families in the county to give a pretty good idea where Woodville got its name. Some years ago J. J. Silvey wrote a history of Amissville and told of the great excitement when the Amisses and Luttrells voted for the name of their locality, and there were more votes on the Amiss side; hence, Amissville. A story is told about Huntly’s name (rather recently given, for it was formerly Sandy Hook.) but the facts aren’t too well known. It is generally reported that the name is derived from one of the Gordon estates. The origin of Flint Hill is nob certain. Some people seem to be of the opinion that a family by the name of Flint may have lived there. There are people by this name in an adjoining county, but none left in Rappahannock. Other folks seem to think that the name comes from the-white flint rocks located about the land. One of these days someone will take time off and tell the printers at the News office how the other names of localities came in the county: Castleton, Hawlin, Smed FREE BLUEPRINTS TO CUSTOMERS.

The answer most eagerly await, ed is this: where did the “Fodderstack Road” get its name? -W The Farmer's Side of It! Has agriculture been profiting unduly at the exepnse of the consumer? A great many people think that is the case, and it is a theory •which has been effectively argued by distinguished economists and others. But there is another side to the coin, and it is well presented by Herschel D. Newsom, Master of the National Grange, in the June issue of Country Gentleman. Mr. Newsom’s article is descriptively entitled, “The Farmer’s Side of It.” He says frankly, “All of us who live by agriculture must face the brutal fact that if a popularity poll were taken throughout the nation today, the farmer perhaps would get the lowest rating in his-* tory. More than that, he would be accused by many town and city families as a Government-supported gouger who has caused the cost of living to spiral.” He admits that some farm prices are out of line and that there are flaws in the government’s farm program. Then he says, “I want to say that the farmer and his programs are NOT to blame for the high cost of living which worries all of us . . . There is no villian except inflation.” Agriculture, Mr. Newsom feels, has been made a scapegoat for sins of omission and commission over which it has little or no control. It is true that there has been a very fast rise in the prices of many farm products since the Korean war began. But, he observes, “In the two years before June, 1950, the average of farm prices declined 26 per cent—and this decline, which led almost to the verge of another farm-fed depression, went virtually unnoticed in the city press. Most farm prices have not yet caught up with either wages or prices of industrial goods.” Mr. Newsom implements this statement with some impressive statistics. The average of farm prices still is almost 15 per cent below 1947 — by contrast, both corporate profits and hourly wages of factory workers are 18 per cent above that level. In 1947, he says, net farm income was $18,000,000,000. In 1949 it was $14,000,000,000, and in 1950 it was.down still more to $13,000,000,000. He writes, “Last year the 20 per cent of the U.S. population that lives on the farms received only 12 per cent of the national income.” Mr. Newsom is the first to admit that serious mistakes have been made in the price-support program —such as the potato-support fiasco which stirred up so much bitter criticism some time ago, But, as a general rule, hfe writes, “those supports have helped to hold food prices down.” Here his reasoning runs like this: government purchases have taken surplus products from the market at times of unreasonably low prices. These surpluses have been held in reserve, and have been fed back into the market when prices threatened to go unreasonably high. As a consequence, he says, “Consumers have benefited as much or more than farmers from most of these programs.” Finally, Mr. Newsom feels that inflation must be fought hard on Pitts Park THEATRE Front Royal, Virginia THURSDAY, JUNE 28 LIZABETH SCOTT DENNIS O’KEEFE ' —in— “The Company She Keeps" FRI.SAT., JUNE 23 - 30 ; N BILL WILLIAMS JANE NIGH in— “Blue Blood" (Color by Cinecolor) SUNDAY, JULY 1 (One Day Only) ANN BLYTH MARK STEVENS — in — “Katie Did It" ' MON. - TUBS., JULY 2 - 8 DAVID WAYNE TOM EWELL —in— » “Up Front” "* 1 ...M .....

If these measures fail to do the job, he continues, price, wage and rationing controls must be applied to the whole country. In advocating this program, Mr. Newsom is largely in agreement with our leading economists. -2ii ‘The Time Hat Come * I the Welraa amid ... “Would that this too, too solid flesh would melt . . .” and for the past week that’s what it’s been doing! o o o With the hot weather of the week end, the youngsters in Rappahannock said that the only place fit to be was “Ole ’Hollow’’ swimming hole. It’s always cool there, and the cold water makes it necessary to come out in the sunshine every now and then to get warmed up. Tis with envy I view lady-like creatures in hot weather. I wish I pould step daintily out on a blistering-hot day and look cool as a cucumber. Not me! No such good luck. When the weather is hot, i don’t perspire, I sweat. My brow is not flushed as a lady’s should be; I’m red as a beet and cross as the ole’ scratch. Some nice, refined lady will become faint with the heat and have to be fanned gently; while I get sick at my stomach and the results ain’t refined nor ladylike! With each sultry day I become shorter tempered; I can’t even stand myself, much less expect anyone else to stand me. I promise myself faithfully that when winter comes—oh joy!—and the winds and sleet howl and blow, when the snow piles high, and my feet freeze, then shall I revel - in the glory of—er, chapped hands, a red nose, and bad colds. ^ o o o If a man gives in when he’s wrong, he’s a wise man. If he gives in when he’s right, he’s a married man. o o o I heard a fellow the other day in a perfect sweat of a temper fit! He was beyond the boiling point and his blood-pressure must have been nearing an altitude record. The temper was caused by a caustic—and unkind—remark by a man whom he had always called a friend. At that time I wanted to give him a little saying that was handed down to me from my father; “No gentleman would insult me and no one else can.” It was no use trying to tell the fellow at the time he was in such PITTS DRIVE-IN L*-„- "theatre On Brandy Road (Route 15) Miles North of CULPEPER, VA. 2 Shows Nightly 7 and 9 P.M.

He couldn’t have thought straight enough to have taken it in, and it would have done him no good then nor later. But, perhaps, by now he has cooled down, and the little statement will answer in hjs own mind any unkindness meant by the man who spoke cruelly to him. “No gentleman would insult me,” and that is true.. On many* occasions we have all said tactless things that wo did not mean in the manner in which they were blurted out. The minute the words were spoken, we knew they were conveying a meaning we had nob intended. The only recourse is to hope the fellow will understand the way we meant the word—or phrase—and overlook the careless manner of the wording. “• •*nd no one else can” There’s r the real answer. A gentleman didn’t mean the statement to be insulting, and if he is a gentleman, there is no reason to be offended. If he is not a gentleman, and did mean to be insulting, he is not worth the trouble in allowing yourself to become up9et. Avoid him. And if he insults you the second time, it’s your own fault; no one but a fool gets caught at the same trick twice. o o o The man* who boasts that he runs things around the house is probably talking about the lawn mower. o o o Don’t worry too much about what people think—most of them don’t. -wUm NEWS Classified Adi YOUNG MEN WANTED - The Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Co., has openings for several young men who are interested in making a career of telephone work.

The first rector of St. Paul’s Church, Rev. William Thomas Leavell, accepted a call to this parish in 1853. His son, William Thomas, was christened in St. Paul’s in 1855 with Mrs. Skinner and Mrs. Leavell as sponsors. After John Brown’s Raid at Harpers Ferry, Mr. Leavell returned to his home in Jefferson County. Following the war between the states the Parish was in the care of such distinguished ministers as Rev. Rutherford Brown; Rev. J. Gibbon Minnegerode; and Rev. John Ambler. Well remembered are Rev. Willoughby Newton Claybrook and Rev. Norwood Tillinghast. In 1929 while Rev. Laurance Brent was-rector, the church was demolished by a terrific tornado. Among well-known families that have worshipped in the little church were the Voss, Skinner, Walden, Fitzhugh, Pringle, Mason, Fletcher, Crane, Asquith, Manning, Hughes, Anderson, Shackelford, Winfield and Reid families. Thomas Vigis, of Parish Munden, Hertfordshire, England, was a prominent member of the vestry. Captain Walden, an active vestryman in the early life of the church. In later years James W. Fletcher and William Mason. A marker now stands on the spot where once stood the communion table. A peaceful church-yard is all that remains — St. Paul’s Episcopal Church-yard. / EPISCOPAL TRINITY EPISCOPAL (Washington) Dr. W. G.

It seems to be the general impression that this is true. I want to make a correction on this ana I state that this is absolutely NOT true. It is the Treasurer’s duty to collect all unpaid, taxes as soon after December 5th as possible. I base this statement on the following law: CODE OP VIRGINIA. Section 58-966. Collection of taxes not paid (when due; distress for same.—The treasurer, after the fifth day of December, shall call upon each person chargeable with taxes and levies who has not paid the same prior to that time, or upon the agent, if any, of such person resident within the County or corporation for payment thereof; and upon failure or refusal of such person or agent to paly the same he shall proceed to cob lect them by distress or otherwise. Should it come to the knowledge of the treasurer that any suth person or persons owing such taxes or levies is moving or contemplates moving from the county or corporation prior to the fifth day of December, he shall have power to collect the same by distress or otherwise at any' time after such bills have ctome into his hands.
