Henrvtty The great damage resulting from the recent Kansas-Missouri flood has caused many to wonder Just how a re-occurrence can be {prevented. One plan is being sponsored to construct a aeries of large, extremely costly dams on the various streams and tributaries. Thereby, being able to store the (water in large reservoir back of each dam and release it at a rate so as not to cause flood damage to down stream areas. This, of course, is "a fhethod devised to take care of flood water after it once reaches the streams. Apparently, this method of controlling floods has been proven satisfactory on most watersheds with one exception. The exception is, how to prevent the reservoir from filling up with soil and debris that is washed from the fields above. As the reservoir fills up the capacity to store water is reduced proportionately. It is interesting to note here that Dan River Reservoir at Sehoolfield, near Danville, filled completely with soil and formed an island eupportitig vegetation in less than 15 years. • Only a portion of the soil stops in the reservoir, the remainder goes on down stream and out to the ocean. A lot of sound thinking citizens are beginning to wonder why more should not be done to keep the soil where it belongs. This (would then benefit agriculture aa well as prevent siltation of th© streams and reservoirs. Slowing down the rate at which water runs off the land and keeping the soil on the hills goes a long way in preventing floods. This is mere common sense. Soil and water conservation is not the sole answer to flood control on large watersheds, but it is a step that should be taken prior to the construction of large expensive dams, if they are to be effective for a long period of years. Maybe we are getting the cart before, the horse. P.

WASHINGTON WATER SUPPLY BUILDS BACK TO RESERVOIR With the water supply in the town reservoir hitting low during the recent dry spell, the citizens of Washington groaned when it became necessary to fall into the artesian well water reserve for the daily wetting of the whistle. Local citizens are badly spoiled about the good, soft water which comes from the large reservoir, and when the artesian well supply has to be used, they complain long and -loud about bow hard! the water is. Soap won’t dissolve right; dishes won’t wash shiny; and the water tastes! Someone actually reported that the water was not clean and that it was dangerous and might make everyone aick! Of course, ,the artesian well water is inspected at regular intervals and is exactly as it should be to meet health - specifications, but the citizens are eo spoiled to good wagpr that they howl at the change. Happier days are in sight, however, for R. V. Snead reports that the rains of the past week have raised the level of the reservoir and soon it will be possible to be back with the soft water and everyone will be happy.

Barnett, com. mandant of the U.S. Marine Corps, during World War I. Mrs. Barnett is spending the summer at her estate “Wakefield Manor”, at Huntly. On hand to wish her happy birthday and do her honors were members of her family and a few close friends. It will be remembered by the people in Rappahannock when Wallis Warfield, now the Duchess of Windsor, would visit her aunt Mrs. Barnett at Wakefield, and the wonderful dances and parties were held in her honor. Clyde Beggarly, going through some old papers since coming to make his home at Avon Hall, ran across an old dance score showing he had had ithe pleasure of dancing with the Duchess at one of the parties held by Mrs. Barnett, along with the other young men of the bounty. Jack Miller and the late John Kinsey were among the young men in Rappahannock who would take Mrs. Barnett’s charming niece for buggy rides on hot summer afternoons. ALL SURVIVE HAY RIDEINCLUDING GROWN-UPS For two years Olivia (Libbie) Litsey has been fussin’ and feudin' because she never could have a party; so, if on Wednesday, July 18, yon saw Wade Pullen’s big! truck loaded with hay and 20 kids, that was Libby’s party bn their way for a picnic on Skyline Drive.

Smith, and Mrs. Wade Pollen accompanied the track lead of childrea with band-aids and morthiolats. Decline of ‘Eating Apple* Market Seen in Virginia Virginia’s apple industry had better improve its methods lest-it continue to suffer declines in market prestige, states a dispatch from Richmond. Such is the view of the Advisory Council on the Virginia Economy, which recently issued an exhaustive 98-page report on the state's apple business. The report takes Virginia producers to task for having taken the easiest, short-term road in the face of growing competition. When the fresh fruit, “eating apple” markets began to decline for the Old Dominion product, most growers simply turned the crop toward processors who manufacture cider, vinegar, and other apple-base products. Now, state growers have two types of competition to fight. First, all apple growers in the nation are being plagued by the inroads made by citrus fruits into the fresh fruit field. Second, the Virginia producers have to compete with Washington state and Michigan apples into the southern market. The report points out that extensive promotion efforts by Washington state growers, in particular, have succeeded in convincing consumers that apples must be large and red. The result, the council found out, is that Delicious varieties grown 3,000 miles from Virginia have pushed many local apples off, the retailers’ floor. Virginia apples also are losing prestige in the market place because of their lack of uniformity, due to insufficient use of grading practices, and the fact that much of .the crop is still packed in round bushel baskets. Competitive Washington state apples shipped to Virginia, at a freight cost of 75 cents per bushel, come packed in easily handled restangular crates, are uniform and graded, and the resulting high price offsets the extra transportation costs. Yet, the study makes clear, Virginia's geographic location gives her a “natural” market of 40million people in ten states, only one of which (Pennsylvania) topsi the Old Dominion in apple production. Among recommendation set forth in the report is a suggestion that intensive study be given the truck load limit regulations on Virginia’s highways to establish whether they present a serious obstacle to the movement of apples to market. The report was prepared for the council's marketing committee by Mogene D. Newman of the College of William and Mary. Mr. Newman concludes that the apple industry can reap a larger profit—provided it places a better product on the market, and is willing to keep step with modern, upto-date marketing practices that have boosted western apples. _ Uf__ Forester Reports On County Marked Timber During; the past six months, from January 1 to July 1, approximately 3,201,000 board feed of sawtimber was marked and estimated for harveeiting by the Virginia Forest Service in Rappahannock county. This volume of sawtimber was selected and cub according to proper forestry prac. tices, which include the marking of only mature, overmature, diseased, and damaged trees and the leaving of young, . thrifty, growing trees for a future cut-: ting. «. During the same period, about 1,374 acres of woodland were examined and reported on by the Virginia Forest Service in this county. Many landowners were given advice and recommendations concerning their various problems toward the correct' management of their woodlands. This examination service’■Is free of charge and does not pot the' landowner small charge for the marking service.- *’* All timberland owners interested in developing our present and future timber supply and harvest- * ing timber as a crop through prop- . *r forest management should contact the Virginia Forest Service, Box 111, Warrenton, Va. —-—'ftRev.

Meditations WISDOM from a WATERMELON I was passing through Columbus, Ohio, some years ago and stopped to eat in the depot restaurant. My attention was called to a slice of watermelon, and I ordered it and ate it. I was so pleased with tfye melon that I asked the waiter to dry some of. the seeds that I might take them borne and plant them in my gardep. That night a thought came into my mind—I would use that watermelon as an illustration. So, the next morning when I reached Chicago, I had enough seeds weighed to find out that it would take about 5,000 watermelon seeds to weigh a pound, and I estimated that the watermelon weighed about 40 pounds. Then I applied mathematics to the watermelon. A few weeks before, someone —I know not who—had planted a little seed in the ground. Under the influence of sunshine and shower, that little watermelon seed had taken off its coat and gone to work; it had gathered from somewhere 200,000 times its own weight, and forced that enormous weight through a tiny stem and built a watermelon. On the outside it had put a covering of green, within that a rind of white, and within that #a core of red. Then it had scattered through tha red, little seeds, each one capable of doing the same work over again. What architect drew the plan? Where did that little watermelon seed get its tremendous strength? Where did it find its flavoring extract and its coloring matter? How did it build a watermelon? Until you* can explain a watermelon, do not be too sure that you can set limits to tha power of the Almighty, or tell just what He will do, or how He will do it. The most learned man in tha world cannot explain a watermelon, but the most ignorant man can eat a watermelon and enjoy it. God has given us the things that we need, and He has given us the knowledge necessary to use those things. And the truth that He has revealed to us is infinitely more important for our welfare than it would be to understand the mysteries that He has seen fit to conceal from us.—William Jennings Bryan. -W ‘Be Prepared’—Our Motto Rappahannock is having to adopt the Scouts’ motto — “Be Prepared”—for the forth-coming musical season in the county at Avon Mills. ' Some folks in the county are not up to the latest in matters concerning concerts, attendance, behavior, appreciation, etd. No one wantg to embarrass those in the county who are well-versed in all such matters, so vte have been trying to bone-up on all the eti(fuette demanded for the occasion. We don’t want to admit, as one local fellow put .It, that we can’t ?tell “God Save the Weasel” from “Pop Goe$ the King.” ' _' . "jOy feftow down in the Sperry- >uie -Wfrrnory ccfttieSeds'xM? ifts - knowledge of music is limited. During hi8 army experience when the band started playing, he looked around quickly; if the others stood at salute, then he knew the tune was the “Star-Spangled Banner.” Therein » the sum total of his knowledge of music. Some of the rest of us are not much betteP, hut we want to know how to act when the tunes begin. Publicity has run far and wide on the location of the mnsic festival at Avon Mills near Washington. The local folks have got to live up to all the fancy stories. A national magazine published in August has given lots of help. It can't tell exactly all the circumstances, hot it does give a tip or two, like waking for others to applaud so you won’t bust outenthusiastically between the movf merits of * Sonata. It also advises against going to sleep; /or, the writer warns, you will wake up at the slightest silence and are apt to begin to applaud at a most inopportune moment, such as. the exact time when the performing musician is dramatically produce ing a great effect with a moment’s hesitation. Another article in this helpful magazine explains that because the music is not to your taste doesn’t mean that it is not good. The general public divides music into classical and popular, but these two vary and overlap as the colors of the rainbow run from violet to red. Unless you are deaf, there are parts of all kinds of, music to be enjoyed. Deems Taylor has contributed a most soothing answer to one of the problems for folks who will be attending the forth-coming concerts. He says we don’t have to be ashamed if the mind starts wandering. Right in the middle of a movement of a symphony, we find that the mind is off in a fog <—must renfemiber to gdt that birthday present for Cousin Emma . . . reckon the fellows who built the old mill never had any idea it would be used like this . . . that third stone over on the corner is like (the one at the swimming hole where you gotta watch or you’ll get scratched.— That’s all right about your daydreaming. Keep right ahead doing it. h There are two kinds of listeners, Mr. Taylor assures us. Some listen for what the music has to say; and some listen unconsciously with the music creating a pleasant mood. We get that same kind of music at a movie when our emotions are played upon by the music as the acting runs before our eyes. It’s in the same line of thought with looking at a sunset and just plain enjoying the beatity; it isn’t necessary to analyze all the coIotsj So, thanks to Mr. Taylor, we know that if we get to day-dreaming a ibit during the concerts, it’s all right and we haven’t embarrassed our neighbors. Another writer in this helpful book—from which we have tried to alleviate some of our ignorance —says there are several kinds of musical snobs. He insists that we cannot pick “classical” or “popular” as the kind of music we like and ignore the other. Much of the classical has. been popular— otherwise, it would not have en-« dured time—and much that is popular today will not be so this time next year. Goodness knows, we’ve heard “popular” tunes beat, hollered, pounded, screamed, and squawked to death! It is pretty safe to say that a (musical “snob,” one who turns up his nose at some form of music, is missing a lot. The point for us-everyday-citizens to remember is that all music is good of it is well done, and music is meant to be enjoyed, whether it be symphony, boogie, or hill-billy.

MMMMmjl There’s a book called “Number,” by Tobias Dantzig, PhD. professor of mathematics,. University of Maryland, published 1930. According to my reading, few peoplp know that the invention of the zero was probably the biggest thing that ever happened in the world. Yes, sir! The human race floundered for thousands of years before the Christian era. They counted sums on Ungers or used an “abacas” which was never improved and is still used by primi live people. » When Xerxes wanted to count his-army,-he had his soldiers file through a gate, and one pebble was dropped for each man. When ten pebbles were counted, a pebble was dropped into a pile representing ten., Progress was possible,- says' the author, “until a symbol was invented for nothing, our modem zero.” It’s a good thing the inventor of the zero has passed on to his (reward. Show him a modern-day estimate of the national debt and he’d go crazy after seeing what these succeeding generations have done with his little Zero! Have you ever noticed how those who seem to desire fame lack the equipment to obtain it? Some readeilz of the county 'weekly have requested the printers dig up more of the news of years ago—like “20 Years lAgo.” The Hems are often interesting; such is admitted: But problems m brought forward, also. You Shave to delete, tactfully, the age on the little girl's birthday party, for with the passing years she may have doctored that age a wee bit, and the paper has made an undying enemy in printing the correct age. Then/ too, an old editor relates one of his sad experience; and we are trying to profit by it. In putting the paper together one week, quite by mistake one of the items got taken out of the “25-Years Ago” column and put over in the regular news notes. It wouldn’t .have been so had, maybe, but it announced that Mrs. So-and-Such was being congratulated on the birth of a daughter —and the lady had been a widow for 15 years! The poor ole’ editor said he went fishing for the day after the paper came out and then took a much-needed vacation in a distant section of the state for the rest of the week! He knew that if he tried to correct the error, it would cause more commerJ)-, so be just hoped didn’t many people see it. POO Bobbie Massie, new printer’s devil, is learning a ffw bitter lessons on the tkialq of newspaper work. Last week he was reading proofs to ferret out and correct errors. Despite his labors, something got scrambled, and woe betide! it was his mother’s party, that caught the worst end of the bargain! The story stated something about some lady winning the prize for men and said Capt. Warwick had won Rayner Snead. Bobbie has been teased about it untfl he wishes he had never heard of any part of it! o o o It isn’t the heat, it’s the stupidity. “They say’’ that over near Warrenton on some government project the laborers are making $2 an hour. The natural consequence follows: farmers c*’t get any help. Such news always starts off a series of indignation statements. “How can you expect to get teachers, when they see brawn paid more than brain?” “What’s the use of trying to educate your children if they are going to earn a living with their hides instead of their heads?” “What’s goin to happen when the farmer can’t get help to raise food?” And on, and on, and on. And the laborers who get the $2 an hour squawk like fury when with-holding tax, social security, union dues, and several other unidentified deductions knock their checks about half in two. They can't understand that the government is taking part of it to pay back to other businesses who will go under for lack of laborers. It all may be plain as the nose on your face—I don’t understand it 1 , o o o Someone told me. a story the other day of a teacher who explained socialism in his classes by practicing it for a few weeks. The theory seemed to be “From each according to his ability to each according to his need." The practice in the classroom ran to grades on work done.

The teacher then informed the .boy that he needed only 80 to pass, so he had 17 points he could give to some other pupil who was under par. Some fellow who was below the passing 80 would receive ‘‘according tp his need*’ the extra points from the fellow who did well, “according to his ability.’’ Socialism made a mighty poor showing when the industrious, capable boy had to go home with his report card and explain that his grades were the same as those of the lazy lad. o o o Oddly enough, it is less painful to remember the times we were wicked than the times we were ridiculous. o o o Little Sammy, about 3, had been invited to return for another visit in the afternoon, following bis morning visit. He didn’t come. Later, the hostess asked, “What happened, Sammy? You didn’t come bade as you said you would.” “I didn’t have time,” he said, with a weary tone copied from an exhausted parent “I didn’t have time to get out the door* before mamma caught me.” o o o (The following letter has arrived from Flint Hill.)

Ckarck CI.rk The First Baptist Church of Washington, Virginia, is located on Main street, about 325 feet from the comer of Wheeler and Main. This church was organized by Rev. George W. Homer in the year of 1876 with 45 members, all of whom were baptized in Rush River the same day. Since there were no Negro churches in the town, this group was allowed to carry on their worship services in the old church which stood on Lot 41 on Wheeler street. This lot was set apart, we are told, by one Mr. Wheeler for Christian worship and to be used forever for that purpose. However, the few members continued to hold their»meetings in the above named church until August 28, 1880 they purchased a lot on Main street from the Witzpatrick and Dear heirs, at a cost of 50.00. This lot was deeded to the following trustees: James * Banks, Lewis Barbour, Milton Cliff in, John Gillis, Charles Roy and Lewis Carter, Sr., the following year they started a building on tiiis lot and called same First Baptist Church. The cost of this ■ building was shared: one-third by the Rising Hope Lodge Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, who maintained an assembly hall above the church. The architectural work was done bv Mr. V. Veers. The comer stone was laid in 1881 by the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows Lodge from Luray, Va. This fete drew a large crowd from the adjoining counties, a free witl offering was raised by each donor placing his or her gift in the comer stone, which had been hewn out. A bystander from Luray seeing all this money placed in the comer stone and failed to see the trustee remove it, but did see the stone placed in the building, thinking all the money was left 4a the stone, he came by night and removed the stone, but only found a few pennies. This church has had seven pastors: Rev. George W. Homer, Rev. Davenport, Rev. James S. Fields, Rev. James S. Woodson, Rev. D. H. Banks, B.D.; Rev. Isadore D. Richards, and Rev. R. C. Davis. . Under Rev. Fields’ administration, the church was german . sided, and a new roof put. Rev. Fields who would often walk from his home in Winston, Va., and back, donated a full year’s salary toward improvement on the church. Under Rev. Banks’ reign, additional land was purchased from Mrs. A. Wood to enlarge the yard; a vestibule and bell tower were built, church lengthened 10 feet; choir room and pastor’s study built, choir stand built and 1400 pound bell installed.' To finance all of this the church was forced to borrow a sum of money —before the loan was paid the pastor’s health broke down, thereupon Mrs. Anna W. Green the church organist and choir instructor organized in the church and school a club, known as the Gold Star Mothers Club, which played a large part in liquidating this debt. This club still exists and is doing good work. Incidentally Mrs. Green organized a similar club in every school community while she was supervisor. Under Rev. Richards, cathedral windows were installed in the church and electric organ installed, and robes purchased for the choir. Under Rev. R. C. Davis work has begun on the project of putting running water in the church and modern conveniences. Contract has been let and work started. We hope to put in a new floor and baptizing pool before we stop. After the Mt. Salem Church disbanded, they united with the First Baptist Church of Washington. This church is a member of the Wayland Blue Ridge Baptist Association, and has entertained that body twice—1904 and 1949. This church has licensed two ministers—Rev. John W. Dennis, who lives in Washington, D.C.; and Rev. R. J. Green, A.B. Bth.D.D. now Dean of Morgan College, Little Rock, Arkansas. The Wayland Blue Ridge Baptist Sunday School-Union was founded and organized in the First Baptist Church by a member of this church who has served as president of the organization ever since its organization (1914-1951). This organisation gave a $410.00 scholarship to a young minister last year. Before Main street was macadamized the church built a boprd walk from the corner of Wheeler and Main streets to the church. . j episcopal TRINITY EPISCOPAL (Washington) Dr. W. G.

MAYNARD rhe Ealing Problem Our eight-C'rnonlh-rld sen doesn’t Have a very /ool pelite -rl oil he eats at xon-e mezls in h:s milk. I have tried many •my* to fict him to eat, bat my husband believes the only stay is to force him to eat and spank hint when he spits out the food that is forced down him. 1 tried to discourage my huslnmd hut it did no good, so finally l let him handle it his way. He scolded the babyc shook and spanked him until the baby was so upset that he vomited several times. JIow can I Help my husband see how harmful his attitude is toward the childf 1 First of all, let me commend 7011 on your understanding of your problem. Forcing children to eat not only tends to create a violent dislike Set. the food forced upon them but, al?«, to create an emotional state that tr.ke* away their appetite and make* it difficult to digest the food that is eaten. If yonr husband but knew it, he ia using the method almost universally condemned by experts in child pamphlets on eating issued by the Children's Bureau, The United States Department of Labor, Washington, D. C. It might he worth your while to order these aud have them around the housg, hoping your husband will pick one up and read it. The Pocket Book of Baby and Child Care, by Spock, that can be secured from almost any newsstand, contains good suggestions concerning how to get children to eat. Dr. Florence Dunbar, in her bonk. Your Child’s Mind and Body, has an excellent chapter on eating that should be helpful to your husband. Food should not be forced upon your child, hr even given to him with the attitude, “Xow you’ll find .out how wrong you've been." Let him either pick them up of his own accord, or suggest that since you do have this problem of eating, it might be helpful if both of you would try to find out what some of the experts advise. In addition to having books and pamphiks on eating around, it might be helpful for you and your husband to have a conference with your physician about the problem. Your doctor should l>e able to suggest to your husband more desirable ways of dealing with the situation. Old Folks and New Rules I live in a three-generation home. Tfoto can my hatband and I keep grandma and- grandpa from spoiling our young tonf It it hard to observe tchedulet because they want to play with him. They tay our “rules” are poppycock. The three-generation home that does not face the problem you have presented is indeed a rarity. For all parents so situated, let me suggest first of all that you try to be as "understanding of and patient with the grandparents as possible. It if Stop At The ATLANTIC SIGN J. BRADLEY ATKINS Atlantic Service Station SPERRYVILLE, VA. L. B. DULIN, JR. DISTRIBUTOR Atlantic Reining Company CULPEPER, VA. .r i 'vi juite to be expected that they should feel that their way of bringing up children cannot be surpassed. After all, haven’t they raised their own, and aren’t you a shining example of the success of their method! So really you should feel complimented when they look somewhat askance at what seems to them to be your newfangled and thoroughly absurd ideas about raising youngsters. It would not be altogether out of place, furthermore, for you to look a bit more closely at the rules you have established to see whether or not any of them really are “poppycock.” It U well to remember that sometimes young parents, in their seal to do what is right, place too much emphasis upon routines and schedules and hot enough upon the need of chQdren fbi attention and affection. Wouldn't it be fine, too, if, as you rethink your rules, you would get suggestions from the grandparents? Of course, you will not be able to accept all of them, but the simple fact that If you have a question about your child—from infancy through the teens—semi it to Donald M. Maynard, 810 Broadway, Nashville 2. Tennessee, to be answered through a future column. they have been consulted will east" the tension somewhat. If yon can accept one or two of their suggestions, assuring them jjow grateful you are for them, they may "even decide that yon have inherited at least a wee hit of their intelligence! You will want to get the judgment of your physician and of others whe have given much thought to chile guidance. As you make ont your new set of rules, don’t forget that yout •boy probably needs to have the grand parents play with him at least occasionally. Provide times in your schedule, therefore, when they can do so. There will be other times, of course, when the boy must not be disturbed. ■With your new schedule carefully thought out, you now are ready to take a firm stand with respect to it. I,et the grandparents know the reasons for it. Face frankly with them the fact that they may not agree with all of the rules, but that you expect them to co-operate with you. Be tactful and understanding but firm. ‘They . may grumble a bit, but probably will cooperate as beat they can. It ia important that yon and the grandparents should not qnarrel about these rules in front of your boy. To do so will bring to him a sentw of confusion, frustration, and inse&rity. May I add that it would seem very desirable to encourage the grandparents to read such magaxinea as The Chrutian Home and Parentt* Magazine.

Pardon us if we play switchman with a familiar railroad phrase, but we aim to flag down some certain people .Tin Those folks who’ve always had a great big yen for a new Buick, but a big worry that Buick prices ran too high for their budgets. . Now we’ll have to grdnt you that —on style and beauty and size and impressive appearance —a 1951 Buick looks like a pretty high price tag. And we’ll have to grant, too, that the zooming power and the luxurious ride and the heavyweight steadiness you get in a Buick would also indicate prices beyond the reach of most people. But honestly, could anything be farther from the truth when you note the sample prices for 1951 Buicks in the panel yonder? Isn’t that beauty —with the big-power, big-mileage, eightcylinder, valve-in-head Fireball Engine—and with prices starting below those of many of today’s sixes—really within your budget picture? Won’t you admit here and now that you can have Buick room and comfort, can have Buick ride and handling, can have Buick style and size—for little, if any, more than you’ve been paying for lesser cars? That leaves the next step up to you—stopping in to see us. Come in soon, look over the Special, Super or Roadmaster you’ve always wanted — and let that happy glow go surging all through you as you sign up for your smart-buy Buick.
