WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY, JULY 19, 1951. Jill 2 01951. STATE LIBRARY! $2.00 Per Year L. V. Merrill Head* Re-Organized Firemen r ' In a meeting of re-organization Tuesday evening, the Rappahannock Volunteer Fire Company of Washington elected officers and scheduled a program of study and active membership. Chief L. V. Merrill was re, elected fire chief, with T. C. Lea •; as secretary-treasurer, and Char« lie Jenkins and Bruce Bowie as first and second assistant chiefs. The list of firemen is to be revised, . designating active and inactive membership. Many former residents, retaining an interest in the community but living beyond the sound of the fire siren will be designated as inactive member^, 'They still will toe able to lend support to the fire company in scheduled activities, hut cannot be called active fire-fighters on a moment’s notice. New members were enrolled at the meeting and the firemen voted to welcome all new members who might wish to join the company. - j T. C. Lea, as secretary, will revise the list and'report at the next meeting as to the exact stand. ' ing of the membership, active and " , inactive. He also will be able to give a financial statement of the present condition of the company ■ at that time. The fixe company voted unanimously to request the Board of Supervisors to rescind the license proposal on carnivals, since most of the company’s revenue is derived That way. " The company - voted that all carnivals be clean and wholesome entertainment. The company voted tp bold in* struction classes for operation of the pumper. Anyone wishing to take this .training is asked to she Charlie Jenkins, First Assistant! " . chief. " Regular meetings are to be held the first Tuesday in the month and . ^ . attendance at the meetings will be , ,7 ~ considered indicative of interest in the company. . A problem discussed concerned ^ the habit of people calling Guy a Burke to find the iocaiton of a fire after the fire siren sounded. This keeps Mr. Burke from telling the firemen the location of the Are, » * ‘ • f f:% f A bulletin board will be placed in the firehouse to notify lateerriving firemen of thp fire’s location, and the citieens will be' forced to find out as best they can. (It is thoroughly understood that Phyllis Vemer is missed. As telephone operator, she could answer all the qfaestions at once and notify the firemen at the sama —U-time. But those days are gone. The dial phones are here, and the * public will have to take the consequences and manage to live without knowing where the fire is until they hear elsewhere.) * —. w_ Machinery Leading Factor. r— In Farm Accidents According to the National Safe.. . ty Council the greatest number of accidental deaths on farms are caused by farm machinery, tractors leading the list. C. D. Jordan, PM A chairman, suggests that all farmer* using machinery cheek their work habits by asking themselves these questions: DO I ALWAYS 1. Stop all machines while oiling, cleaning, or adjusting? 2. Couple tractor to other implements only while in the seat? 8. Prevent children from riding ' farm machines? 4. Stop the pulley before putting on or removing a tyelt? 6. Keep guards in place on all machines? + 6. Make certain no one ia behind . before backing a machine? . — 7. Avoid stepping over or under moving belts? * 8. Avoid loose fitting clothing or gloves around machinery? 9. cut Iff motors before fueling and allow motor to cool? ' 10. Start machines only when they • ' ore in good working order? 11 Avoid standing over, or climbing over s running combine or «. thresher? Hi, Avo«* unclogging Jfafmu '‘'^“'"''"“Buskers, or shredders in gear? — Fanners are reminded that • these are tihly a few causes of -farm accidents. Each farmer is urged to take timw to check farm buddings for potential fire or.ac•X- cident hazards, The saving of lives and property will many times , over pay for the time and cost r . of .removing hazards. „ U,\ :iV Flint HOI Baptist To ^ Observe Memorial Supper The congregation of the First.

Mrs. Lewis Turner received one of the more seriousl blows of the storm when lightning burned outi Iher electric stove, with ithe dinner ! chicken frying thereon. She transported the hot rolls to her neigh* bor, Mrs. W. C. Campbell, and let them finish cooking. The yard at the hoirfe of Mrs. Prank Moffett was . strewn with, limbs and branches of trees. Mrs. Downing Wood got caught . with a carload of children on their ■way from the swimming Role when a fallen tree blocked the road. She was rescued by Charles G. Reid and ^others who chopped the tree out of the way. _ Trees were broken in the Epls-' copal church yard ^ a tree limb fell in the yard of Mrs. B. R. Cox; and a falling branch at “Mt. Prospect” broke a window glass from the car of John Caskie, a guest at the W. A. Miller home. -' One of the old apple trees was blown down on the Gteest lot, now being fixed up as the town playground. The tree nearest the street (was the one to go and it was the shade to be used for the pic; nic table and the little tots’ sandbox. ' \ " At Harris Hollow Farm, Mrs. Elizabeth DeBergh entertained the "bridge club in a romantic fashion" of a former day—coal-oil lamps and candles—when a falling tpee got a power line. Telephone service was disrupted for days. Local calls were resumed shortly after the storm, but longdistance calls wens'impossible until many wires were put up again. Charlie Bruce bad some extra twigs to pick up from his lawn. Tis known that went against his "grain, seriously, for he declares Mrs. Bruce walks around the place looking for dead leaves for him to trim and pick up, anyway, and a wind-storm just located more for her to see.

There’s much work to be done before the tennis court is ready*for use and volunteers should contact R. V. Snead as to what and when to do. If you have a spare hour, use it to help fix the tennis court. When the time came to set up the see-saws and sliding board for the children, Rayner Snead and Paul A. Walker were on band to pour the concrete foundations for posts and Roscoe Dodson also vol-» unteered his work. The ehildren etood by, eyes wide iwith excitement, awaiting the last bolt in the assembling. Other equipment will be added in the near future.

Who Lives The Life Of Riley Now? The RILEY in question is the one who lived the life of. Nobody lives the life of Riley any more. Our rich men are all aiflicted with an anxiety neurosis about income tax, super-tax, excess profits tax and inheritance tax. You never see a policeman rocking on his heels any more. Farmers don’t sit on rail fences now, while their team of horses rests under a tree. No; they go hucketting around a 20-acre field in a tractor. Bricklayers don’t lead tha life ox Kiiey any more, wnen Kiiey was alive among us, bricklayers , just used to lay bricks, and be damned to you. Now they have to count the bricks they lay. When you used <to turn a bend in the highway and see the sign Men at Work, there were a dozen or so characters leaning on their picks and shovels, as merry and happy and idle a bunch as you would ever want to see. But now when you round a bend and see. that sign, what lies beyond? A scene of dire action, bulldozers snorting and bellowing, tractors kicking up clods, blasters drilling ^holes, frantic little men in rubber boots dashing about— nobody with a shovel. If these are any shovels there, they are steam shovels. . When Riley was alive we' all envied him. Whether he was rich or poor, whether he was a millionaire taking, four * months off to visit Paris or a carpenter enjoying a public holiday in a beer saloon, the rest of us iwere entitled' to dream of some day living the life of Riley and being care-free. But something terrible has happened. Riley’s dead. And if you go into a beer saloon, you don’t see any carpen- ters enjoying public holidays any more. They are hunched over tha tables, arguing covertly about social security. Riley just wanted to be free. With him gone, all vje want to be is secure. It’s not the same. Let us take the rich Rileys first. It’s hard to believe that income tax . did not exist before 1917 and World War I. Starting then, air the business and excess profits taxes, and the insidiously mounting personal income taxes were contrived, one after the other. It’s tough to be rich now.

He could do what he liked with it, and'he liked doing it. He bnilt great mansions or great factories, whichever he had a mind to. To, save face, he eould endow a college or a charity or a hospital; or he could go and hide his face in a yacht in the Mediterranean. The main thing was that he could do what he likJed. It was the life of Riley. It inspired in the rest of us many things — envy, unrest, hatred, a sense of. injustice. But it would he stupid of us to forget that it also inspired a curious sense of human dignity and the freedom of the human spirit. It was part of an ancient tradition that men could dream of doing what they pleased. Maybe you think that all those people you see pictures of leading the life of Riley down on the Flo.rida beaches or Bermuda or California are the idle rich. Do you know who they are? They are members of the clothing trade desperately trying to drum up business. They hire all those pretty models to go down there and loll around in the sun. The fat ones, of course, are the presidents and vice-presidents and their wives, writing off expenses ' to sales promotion, in a pitiable effort to excite the Rileys of the world to go and buy a lot of resort clothing and come to Florida. ' But Riley’s dead.- The only, people who come sure a bunch of urea oia laaies ana gentlemen •with heart conditions due (to hypertension induced by overwork at the head office. They don’t boy any clothes. And as soon as they find out who all those pretty models are, and .who the other guests are, they come back home. That is why even those pretty models wear that anxious look in. the pictures: they’re afraid of losing their jobs. You can’t really loll in that frame of mind. Nobody could lead the life of Riley more individualistically than farmers. In Riley’s day, you never saw a farmer actually plowing. He was either just going to plow, just leaving plowing, or else resting from plowing in the corner of the field. But today you can hardly enjoy a drive in the country without seeing the poor devils, hunched like monkeys up on the seats of the tractors, slogging and teetering and jouncingr over the landscape. Harrowing a field with a good team of horses used to have! some diversion to it. But now they plow, harrow and seed a field with machines. Why, they can even rig a headlight on a tractor and plow all night. They can do their.field work, a little ■frantically, in a quarter the time it used to take. But owing to the fact that the farms are all electrified and lighted from stem to gudgeon, there is no excuse for a farmer sitting around the kitchen any more. Everything is organized for him to be working att somjething or. other all the time. When we consider the bricklayers and carpenters, the skilled mechanics in factories and others who might reasonably aspire to some freedom and not a little human dignity, t wie find that ’they have organized Riley right out of the union. We come at last to the laborer* —those fellows on the road, leaning on their picks and shovels, just after you met the sign on thei highway, Mjen at Work. Today, two men in a bulldozer can dig the foundations of an entire housing enterprise. Labor-saving devices have become so multifarious, ao huge and go entirely marvelous that it is a wonder anybody has to work any more. But the tragic fact is that every^ body, from laborer to millionaire, is working harder today, with more anxiety, more stress, more control to submit to, and less right to do what he pleases, (than in the entire human story. . I don’t say it is right, or wrong, good or bad. ' All I say is, it looks as if RilSy’s dead. He must have passed away quietly, at a time when iwe were all too busy to notice it. Hardly- anybody was at' his funeral. ' (The above article is reprinted in toto, from “Everybody’s Digest” for some of us will nob agree with the author. Riley ain’t dead. It is with regret that we learn he has been made to fee? no welcome in some portions of the country. In Rappahannock hq is more than welcome; and here he is encouraged to live.) {NtMWMItmMtMMaaMMMMmMMMtAtl ‘The Time Has Come * f ! the Walras said “People are always talking about the weather, but .never doing anything about it.” Somewhere along the line, I got told the thing needed was “constructive criticism.” The ex-, planation was: when you do not approve of a situation as it exists, state where it is wrong and offer suggestions to improve it. Here are my plans for improving the weaitber situation. Next year all hay crops are going to be got up in April. It’S pleasant to jje out of doors on the beautiful first days of spring. The weather is not so hot as it is now in July and the /workers in the hayfield will mot be apt to get sick from over-heating and sunstroke. October will be a better time for wheat harvest. If you don’t sweat and get sticky the chaff won’t itch so bad. Again, too, the weather is more pleasant. All canning and other hot kitchen work will be scheduled for the long, pleasant winter evenings. ' ■Now, that’s all set. Hot-weather work has been re-arranged to take place when the thermometer is nearer a decent height. This constitutes my contribution to “constructive criticism,” and, if you’ll pardon my mentioning it, It’s about as sensible as most such criticism usually is. * * * Life has tyecome entirely too complicated. It used to be when you needed a "new chicken house, corn-crib, or any other out-building, you got the materials and a carpenter and built it. Now, it’s a permit for this fend that, permission from the state, town, or county to build, and inspection to see that it’s right.

Mrs. James Settle has been visiting her son-in-law and daughter, Lieut, and Mrs. Bob Peterson “ »t Fort Benning, -Georgia. -WTRAVELING WITH DON HENDERSON, Thjese little items are instrumented by hearing that the new Agricultural Yearbook.is stressing Farm Byproducts. While I’ve never seen it, here’s betting these items are not listed or discussed. Listen therefore. RABBIT MEAT — Rabbit meat* is becoming more and more popular in Virginia- This demand exceeds the supply. Not considering the commercial end of an enterprise, there are many farms where someone in the family has hutchlea of rabbits which supply a welcome change from the ordinary diet* and save the old pocketbook' too* But there’s a knowhow to it, so, while the books may say you can* raise a 4*6 pound rabbit in two months, don’t just buy a pair of rabbits and sit back and wait for. the end of the two months to eat liberally and well of the biblical conny. That’s a word to the wise, helpfully given in no wise intended to deter the project. GOOSE MEAT —There’s no 'easier way to :have delicious meals now and then than to have a small - flock of geese,-especially if you've a patch of clover or alfalfa * around the house. They'll graze like sheep, act as their own watchdogs, and are literally no bother, until the time comes to pluck them. To get the feathers off soap the feathers well, wrap them in a • sack for a while with hot water, and those feabhers’ll come out like peeling a hot potato. Easier in fact. People who don’t have a few geese are missing a bet. But never m try to stick your teeth into the old ones, your store teeth won’t stand it. Besides, geese are like _~ old other -things, '.they improve.. with age, the older birds are the heat breeders. „ FROGS LEGS—Lots of folks are frog-leg-shy, and they’re missing a great delicacy. Its not hard to raise enough frogs round the ponds or streams to have a mess of frogs legs now and then. They* are delicate as young chicken and to this taste better, though of course half of the food is the good v.: batter they are cooked in. There is a big old hull frog in a pond! outside my window, I’d never eat / him, he’s my pal and greets me when the light goes on, but I’ll eat all of his relatives. MUSKRATS—I’ve heard some r say they’d never* leat the dirty things, they’re clean - in their habits and so delicious. In many* of the streams of this state the natives trap and eat ibhem. Along the shores of Lake St. Glair the natives trap and sell them at the open market in Detroit. Try muskrats, please, you’ll never regret ' it. r! - i-'v -y^'- ■ v ■ GROUND HOG —“Who ever heard of eating ground hog!” and the speaker will shudder attractively, if female, and like an idiot if its a man. They’re the cleanest eaters ever and something, in a stew or pot roast or something or other like that. They’re rich food, and tasty as all get-out, very fat, and the youngsters when they make their first trips abroad are something to set your teeth into. Try them by all means, you’ll be v delighted that you took this word of advice. These are a few of the things that people do eat, enjoy and live afterwards, its a thought passed on to you as supplemental food.* for the table. Even good steak gets monotonous, even Angus steak can, or can it? I don't know, leave it up to you, for there I may* lye treading on dangerous ground, if I want to earn money enough) to buy, even a hamburger. (Released by Va.

THIS & THAT by emily b. miller There is no reason for writing one’s name in small letters, but if it does cause so much interest as to have other columnists write in their column, I must have some* thing, or maybe the columnist is short of material. Well, as I have said before, I do not know how to write; it’s really not my life’# work (I’m a darn’ good cook)* go anything I can do to make folks read “This & That" and my ramb* ling on’s, let it be. Maybe after I’m a veteran of 15 or . 20 years, I will be able also to write as my fellow newswomen. * * * As long as gossips stick to lies, you have nothing to worry about; it’s when they start telling the truth you better worry. * * * * “The old saying ‘it’s an ill wind that blows nobody good* must be true. Within the last week we were listening to the radio and heard the announcement of the ten per cent increase' on the cost of newsprint. We immediately; reached for the aspirin, which, of course1, helped the aspirin business. It seems as though every thing is bound to help someone.” * * * * The playground is just about ready for the children, both young and old; the tennis court is in full swing. “Why, Rayner Snead even had Jackie Price and Billy Moffett working on it." (That’s areally true.) The Btorn last Thors* ' day broke ope of the old apple trees/ but I guess the children won’t worry over not enough shade. * • * « No man for any considerable period can wear one face to himself and another to the multitude, without finally getting bewildered as to which may be the true. * * * A referee’s whistle can be' a real help to a busy housewife. Use it to call the children from play. (It’s grand for grandchildren, too,* Mrs. Price.) or your husband to answer the phone. Each and every one has to work out his own signal. I believe in Rappahannock they pilfer to hollar, but the whistle is a good idea. H * * * Homemaker’d items which will save your during this hot weather. Next time you are ready to hang curtains, just wrap aluminum foil over the curtain rod, the curtain will then slip through without catching the materials. Cover your worn-out hot' mats with oil cloth and they look like new. Save your odds and ends of soap, dry, thoroughly, then run through your food chopper. You will have a fine powder for dish-washing. * * * Pessisimism is only the name that- men of weak nerves give to wisdom.—Mark Twain. .It is better to prevent errore than to correct.it.

MAYNARD Threats of Punishment Should the refusal of a ride to Sunday school he held as a constant thread of punishment over' children in one’s neighborhood and should l ever accept that ride again even after an apologyt The answer to the first question is an obvious “no.” In fact, threats of any kiml are poor disciplinary measures. It would seem especially undesirable to associate Sunday school with the.idea of punishment. Unfortunately, too. for some children, the inability to jet to Sunday school might not he deemed punishment. The answer to your second question « is obviously "yes.” It's a pretty small person that will not ace<pt n sincere*, apology in good faith and fry to let. "bygones be bygones.” The Generous Soul /low can 1 help my daughter to he less generous without making her selfishf She allows people to impose upon » her—helps classmates tcith their :iork, lends books she needs herself, uses her time to do things for others that they should do themselves. Here we apparently have quite a! different problem. In thia case, we must discover the satisfaction your - - daughter is getting out of letting peo-, pie impose upon her. It may be that she lacks self-confidence, thinks she isn’t attractive, especially to boys, isn’t as popular as she_ wouitl like to be, uud in general feels inferior to those of her own age. ♦ She has discovered that by putting ' herself out to help others she gains the attention and approval she so desperately craves. , .. If this is the situation, you need to be pntient and understanding withher. Kncottrnge her to develop skills of-her own that will secure the respect aud admiration of her peers; help her make herself more attractive: have young people frequently in your home so that she may have a wholesome so- . cial life; and in every possible way strive to give her confidence in herself. Fathers can be of help here by complimenting their daughters upon their apjtea ranee. Suppose the above pictuw*Tioesn’t j ■ fit your daughter at all. What then? It may be that she Js just one of the,: f generous souls that, although often! imposed upon, nevertheless bripgg' much more happiness than gloom to the world. Do not be too disturbed about it. * ‘ You may. however, want to help her see that it is not wise always to do! for others that which they should do for themselves. By being too generous and helpful she can keep her friends from developing the inner disciplines they so sorely need. > Remind her of one of the queer quirks of human nature, which is that we are likely to care less for those who go out-of their way to help us For Buying and Selling REAL 5TATE SEE RAY T.

A certain amount of so-called “silly" behavior is more or less normal for 'children and as a rule should cause parents no alarm. .Whether such lieliuvior iH desirable or not depends: largely upon the reasons for it. There are at least three: 1. There is that type of silliness which occurs when children are tired or have been -unduly excited. At the close of a ' busy day. for example-, brothers and sisters may gat hUale-tii. and giggly.

Children sometimes are silly Is* I cause they do not know what to do or say nod consequently are embar rasSSed. If they have not been taugh' how to greet guests, or even so hov-* had little experience in doing so, the. funny face may be simply an attempt ■ to cover up their embarrassment.; 8. Children get tired of doing Vvert thing the same way all the time. They like to experiment and many time*their experiments seem silly to adultr. Nevertheless, a certain amount cr learning by trial and error is essenti: if children are to develop normally. Sometimes this deviation from stand ard behavior is for the purpose of seeing what the reaction of the parentwill be. Punching holes in the breae may belong to this category. If yotoi child sees it doesn’t bother yon and you make no comment about it, he probably will stop doing it in a short time Ton must not expect “adult mat ners” of children, however.

Sliger ■ X On the present site of this church in Amissville an Episcopal Chapel stood in the year 1888. Due to the decline of that con— gregaiion the building was offered to the newly organized AmissviHe Baptist church tor the sum of $300. At the organization, under the advisory counsel of A. M. Grimsley, M. R. Grimsley and S. M, Athey the new church had its beginning on December 29, 1888. At this meeting S. M. Athey acted as moderator and A. C. Jennings was elected acting secretary. The church covenant and articles of faith were read by the acting secretary and 36 charter members were received. The membership was composed of twenty-six members from Gourd vine Baptist church, three from Jefferson, and two each from Culpeper, and Orleans* and one from Long Branch Baptist church. One other was received upon his statement of faith and previous baptism. Mrs. Hugh Bywaters of Korea, is the only living charter member of the church. A year later the church had grown to a membership of ninety- * one and became a member of the Shiloh Association, General AsL_ sociation of Virginia and the Southern Baptist Convention.s The congregation elected M. R. Grimsley as first pastor January 17, 1889 and the first deacons were B. H. Spilman, William Doyle and O. M. Corbin. The present building was.built in 1891, at the cost of $1,700 and the pews and the hardwood floors were given by Ham Fletcher of Ben Venue. Also there were many contributions of “labor” which lead the church to pay off the indebtedness that same year. The Shiloh Baptist Association has been entertained by the Amissville Baptist church three times. The first year, August 29,1899 when the moderator was Thomas F. Grimsley. The second time was August 27-28, 1918 and again during August 31September 1, 1938. On Sunday, July 31, 1938 the church celebrated the fiftieth anniversary with a homecoming, and many of the non-resident members as well as many friends of the church were present. The baptistry and two Sunday school rooms were added in the year 1915 for the sum of $465. In 1918 the ladies were given the privilege of voting in church conferences. The young people of the church purchased a Delco lighting plant, costing $400, and was installed in 1926. Outstanding in the Amissville Baptist history are the six men to have entered the gospel ministry: Warren Luttrell, 1894; S. H. Templeman, 1899; Lester A. Brown, 1899; M. L. Collins, 1914; B. L. Mozingo, 1924; R. R. Clement, 1929. The congregation has been served by the following pastors: M. R. Grimsley, 1888-99; L. R. Thornhill, 1899-1905; M. F. San* ford, 1905-1909; Charles Clement, 1909-1934; J. A. StClair, 1935-1942; A. C. Walker, Jr., 1942-1945; Louis R. Broughman, 1945-1948; M. E. Sliger, 1949-. - . -'V, ' •' The present membership of the church is one hundred sixtyfive and the Unified Budget for 1951 calls for $3,600 for all causes. - Jackson K.

Board The consideration of registrants for classification and for induction is not a matter of choice with local boards it was stated by State headquarters for Selective Service.

The registrant is allowed hen days in which to complete h i s classification questionnaire and return it to the local board of jurisdiction. . Upon the receipt by the local board of the completed classification questionnaire, the local board tmust determine the classification of the registrant in question. If the classification questionnaire is not returned within the allotted time, the registrant is delinquent and is subject to such action ad applies to delinquency. Each local board, upon receiving a notice of call from the State Director of selective service for ft specified number of men, selects fthd orders to report for induction the number of men required to fill the call from among its registrants who have been classified in Clasai I-A and Class I-A-0 and have been found acceptable for service in the armed forces and <to whom the local board has mailed a certificate of acceptability at least 21 days before the date fixed for induction. Such registrants are selected and ordered to report for induction in the following order: (1) .Volunteers in the sequence in which they have volunteered for induction. (2) Non-volunteers in the ordea of their dates birth with the oldest ‘being selected first, except that a delinquent shall, regardless of his age, be selected and or* dered to report for induction before any other non-volunteer* When two Or more such registrants have the same date of birth) they shall, as among themselves, he selected in alphabetical order. Local boards, in selecting regis-' trants, work from a large ledger ■boOk similar to large inventory sheets, wherein is contained the registrant’s selective service number, name, date of birth, and certain other information pertinent to the local board.
