WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 9, 1951 Family Farm Surrey Begins This Week A “grass-roots” survey of U. S. Department of Agriculture farm policies is getting under way in Rappahannock county, H. S. Barksdale, chairman of the county Agricultural Mobilisation Committee has stated. , The survey, known as the Family Farm Review, is part of a state-wide canvass designed to touch every farm family. County agricultural mobilization committees, composed of persons representing various state and federal farm agencies, will be responsible for conducting the survey, Mr. Barksdale said. Be explained that the purpose of the survey is to get a critical analysis of the department’s farm policies, with the ultimate objective of improving service to farmers. “The Department of Agriculture, in co-operation with the landgrant colleges, farm organizations, and other interested groups,” Mr. Barksdale said, "has initiated, and expects to carry through a nationwide, department-wide review and critical analysis of its programs and policies to determine ways in which they can provide more effective and efficient service to the family farm during this period of mobilization emergency as well as in peacetime.” In Rappahannock county the agricultural mobilisation pommittew has called a meeting of a numher of farmers and others associated with farm life in the county to bo * held in the Courthouse, Tuesday, August 14, 1*51, at 8 p m. These farmers win be expected to help in making the county-wide survey. In reviewing the policies of the 12 agencies of the department of agriculture, farmers will be asked to recommend changes, suggest new programs, and advise what portions of present programs could be abolished. The findings will bo submitted to the state agricultural mobilization committee to become a part ofsh state-wide report. The survey must be completed by September IQ. “What the department wants and needs are the recommendations of farmers themselves and others interested In agriculture for the improvement of farm -pro grams,” Mr. Barksdale said. :__ _ 3 Auto Accidents Occur Three automobile accidents occurred around Washington for the week end: two Saturday night near Rediviva bridge and one Sunday night near “Rote Hill.” The first accident on Saturday night, involving a '41 Chevrolet and a car driven by Henry Jackson.

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 Highway Safety Calls For Action Like the weather — people are always talking about it, but doing nothing—the highway safety problem gets the talk treatment, as a rule. Here lately, it looks like something is going to be done to help make the highways less of a death trap for motorists and pedestrians. In Washington, D.C., a Judge has announced a “get tough” policy, and he’s beginning to put it into practice. When he gets a repeat offender in his traffic , court, he throws the book at ’em, dishing out jail sentences for driving with revoked permits, and slapping prison sentences on reckless drivers. After hearing some of the first on the list get the stiff sentences from the Judge, other holders of traffic violation tickets quickly got their hearing postponed, to take their chances with a jury or else get a chance at a less-serious-minded judge. The Judge may have the answer. Maybe accidents are too numerous because we can get by too easily in case of violations of traffic laws. If we know that sentences are strict, hard, and definitely going to fall on us, we may be more careful. The Governor, long given to serious study and strenuous effort to reduce the state’s highway death toll, is advocating more serious punishment and heavier fines. The idea here is that most of us have to learn the "hard way” before any sense can be knocked into our thick skulls. Children have safety pounded in to them at school daily. Every precaution is taken to protect the youngsters while they ride the buses. The safety preached at them may last .while they are in school, but evidence doesn’t prove that it carries over with them after they leave the classroom. Several weeks ago, late at night, several of the boys—you ng men— were racing cars on the highway from Washington out to Mac’s place and back. The cars they were racing were not in what you might call perfect condition; had something gone wrong while they Stop At The ATLANTIC SIGN J. BRADLEY ATKINS Atlantic Service Station SPERRYVILLE, VA. L. B. DULIN, JR. , DISTRIBUTOR Atlantic Refining Ccriipany CULPEPER, VA. v were racing, the answer would noti have been pretty and their families would have had sadness the following days. These boys ha,ve not been out of the school room rpany years: either they did not learn the common sense of safety on the highway, or else they were too stupid to retain what they were taught. If they were too stupid to learn, they should have heen denied driving permits. Driving on the highways today is a serious business and only those capable of assuming responsibility should be allowed to drive. -W Banks Approve Increased Farm Production One of the most effective ways to fight inflation is to increase production of basic commodities such as food, feed, and fiber, according to J. Rodes Brown, Jr., cashier of Rappahannock National Bank, iwho represents the Virginia Bankers Association as Rappahannock county Agricultural Key Banker. An accurate gauge of production levels is a comparison of farm marketing income. During the five years ending December 31, 1950, Mr. Brown noted, cash income of Virginia farms advanced 29 per cent from $351,724,000 to $468,010,000. “This substantial increase in agricultural income is indicative of th greater farm production vital }o the nation’s defense effort,” he said. “The increase was made, however, within the framework of sound agricultural practice—better farming methods, diversified, production of crops and livestock, and a high degree of mechanization. The rural banks of our state have worked closely with their farm customers and have given wholehearted support to programs of soiT conservation, -pasture improvement, and other programs benefitting our rural communities. Bank loans which increase production and farm efficiency are one of our greatest weapons against runaway "inflation. "In carrying out their individual projects of mechanization and better land use, our farmers have found bank credit an increasingly useful tool.” Quoting from the tenth national survey of farm lending by the Agricultural Commission .of the American Bankers Association, Mr. Brown noted that “in 1350, the last full year of operation, the 'Virginia banks serving agricultural communities loaned $56,680.000 to 32,020 fanners to meet all types of financial needs. Of the total amount loaned, $45,-, 654.000 was borrowed by 28,656 farmers to finance production and operational requirements. This compares with 34,099 production loans, totaling $37,221,000 during 1949. The rapid repayment olj production loans is shown by the fact that on January 1, 1951, only $29,336,000 remained outstanding. “On January 1, 1050, farmers had a total of bank-held mortgage debt of $28,177,000. During the year, banks made 3,364 additional agricultural real estate loans in an aggregate amount of $11,026,000. Yet, at the end of the year, only $29,351,000 of this long term debt was outstanding, indicating that this type of debt is being held to a minimum. “The increased cost of production to the individual farmer ia shown by the rise in the average production loan from $1,092 in 1949 to $1,590 in 1350. The average agricultural real estate loan in 1950 was $3,278. “The total of bank-held agricultural debt outstanding in Virginia on January 1 of this year was $58,687,000, excluding C.C.C. loans,” Mr. Brown said. -- *The Time Has Come * } the Walrus said . . . I see by the papers, says the old man, that they are selling ladies’ bathing suits 50% off. Prom the looks of the pictures, it ain’t even worth the time and trouble to try to put on the re>, maining 60%—won’t be enough left to find! o o o One .of the mpre pleasant items in the recent papers was that of the. boy who received the halfWillion-dollar income tax return from the government. He had a part-time job and was supposed to get about a $25 return, but the government chdck arrived for something over $500,000. He took it to his employer, who called the bureau of “infernal revenue” and informed them of the error. They* refused to believe it, stating that their machines could make no error! Of course, it all wound up with the boy returning the big check to the government. It seems a shame, somehow. There‘s the possibility that the money might have done the boy some good—and think of the thousands of ways the government will waste that half-million, dozens of times, and accomplish nd good. The lad could have furnished an excellent source of reading matter for children in teaching a lesson on honesty: the story of the boy who returned the check because it was not his, and then was rewarded for his honesty. The lesson on honesty might have done some good in the future—and precious few lessons on honesty are being taught by the government officials in these days! We owe much to an older generation who added bits of wisdom to our learning to help us over difficult spots. This one tale came from a friend, who expressed gratitude to her mother. The girl was having difficulty overcoming a personality clash with an associate; the working partner was pompous and’- over-bearing, and had the ability to- “rub your fur the wrong way.” “Don’t let it bother you,” advised the mother. “The next time the lady’s over-bearing manner begins to irk you, just think this: ‘Stand aside, still water, and let the deep water roll’.” ' “I followed Mother’s advice,’f said the girl, “and now every time I see the woman getting swelled-up and pompous, I get tickled.” A similar story comes from a young friend who used to get nervous and excited when she had to appear in public, for something like a piano recital. “You seem determined to worry,” " said a friend. “Instead of worrying about the same old thing, why not try a different worry? Did it ever occur to you that just as you walk onto the stage you might trip over your own feet and fall flat on your face? Worry about that for a change.” It does appear to be ft good idea. We worry about the same things all the time. It can become monotonous. Let’s invent a few ridiculous wdrrys and forget the old ones for awhile. o o o One of our fine citizens of Rappahannock tells of fishing in the Pitts Park THEATRE Front Royal, Virginia THURSDAY, AUG. 9 LOUIS JOURDAN DEBRA PAGET —in— “Bird of Paradise” (Color by Technicolor) FRI. - SAT., AUG. 10-11 LEX BARKER VANESSA BROWN —in— “Tarz&n And The Slave Girl” SUN. - MON., AUG. 12-13 JOAN CRAWFORD WENDELL COREY —in— “Harriet Craig” TUESDAY (Only) AUG. 14 GLENN FORD ANNE BAXTER DENNIS O’KEEFE —in— “Follow The Sun” WED. - THUR., AUG. 16 - 16 GARY COOPER JANE GREER —in— “You're In The Navy Now” Edded Attraction Robinson-Tarpin Fight Pictnro DeBergh’s pond.

O O i © Some time back, a plea went out in the county that if anyone knew—or could locate—the name of the carrier Indian women used to transport the babies, please send the information in to the paper. Lately, a report has come from a lady in Amissville, ufho says the word is “pohcooch” and that she obtained her information from a man of Indian extraction. A report comes from the Totem Pole, a restaurant on Route 29 south of Madison, where the proprietor has collected Indian data and lore. By searching through books, it was found by the folks at the Totem Pole that, though different Indian tribe had different patterns for making (these piggy-back baby carriers, there* was not a specific Indian name listed. Pictures of the different varieties used by the . various tribes called them “baby carriers’’, and “cradle boards” but any Indian name therefor was not to be found in the books. Since all this searching was for a youngster at Sperryville, it is best fo let him make his choice as to whether he wishes to take “pohcooch” as a name or just call it “baby carrier” or “cradle board.” The whole affair began when the sole grandchild in the family was being teased because he was no longer to be the "only pebble on the beach;” there was going to be another grandchild. The boy’s grandfather and “uncle spent their time eiter teasing him or telling him all manner of wild tales. If the new baby were an Eskimo, they were going to give it to Grandmother to put in the deep PITTS On Brandy Road (Route 15) 1% Miles North of CULPEPER, VA. 2 Shows Nightly 7 and 9 P.M.

When the baby arrived and was of a reddish hue, grandson knew it was his, so he began preparations to carry the baby about in true Indian fashion. Hence, the search for the information. o o o Here’s the answer to another query: Whence the name of "shirt-tail weekly” giver; to newspepers? As near as can be determined, the origin of the term is in early American history of the settling of the west. As new communities sprang up along the trails to the Gold Bust, a .weekly newspaper followed the wagon trains. It is said that a printer grabbed up all the type he could carry in his shirt-tail and moved along with the wagon train to start a newspaper in the new town. The term is much older than machinery used in printing today, for a “shirt-tail" of type would hardly suffice in establishing even the smallest of weekly newspapers in this present time.

Parents’ Problems By DONALD M. MAYNARD ‘‘Special” Pals My only child, a nine-year-old girl,1 was hurt recently because her very best, friend has begun paying a great deal of attention to another girl in their class, j Should I teach my daughter that if s' 'rest to be “good friendir with several ,:rls and not to have “one special pal”? I am not sure that I would teach her _jit she should not have a special pal. It is more or less inevitable that some nildren should be especially attracted i each other and thus become special -tends. These special friends mean a •t, especially to a child who is someiat shy or timid, or who just isn’t the regarious type.” To be sure, when a •sild has “a special friend” she runs ■ >! chance of having her feelings hurt. ■* your child has, when the friend turns -r attention elsewhere, but this is one > f the heartaches that children must ;rn to handle. Although I would not suggest, there•»re, that you give your daughter the ipression that she should not have a >ecial friend, I certainly would sug- - ■st that you encourage her to have any good friends so that when the one weial friend falls by the wayside, she 'ill not have the feeling of suddenly coming friendless, which is so devas■it ing and which creates such a feeling f insecurity. You can help the situation consider - My by providing situations in your own ome in which several of your daughter’s rienda will be present frequently, rather •tan just the one friend. There is no reason, furthermore, why on should not help .her see that we -hange our special friends from time i time and that when this is done, one •f the special friends is likely to be -vnewhat hurt. "The Same Old Stuff” I have taught my nine-year-aid daughter to be fair and take turns iaith'her jellote playmates. But now she has come r to me with tears in her eyes. Some of the other children fust don’t seem to want to play fair. I tell her to be potent with those children. Yesterday she became annoyed with me far “telling her the same old stuff" all over again. She said “Mother, that stuff fust doesn’t work with-, but you wouldn’t understand.’’ What, can t do to help her? When your daughter accuses you of “telling her the same old stuff” all over again, it suggests that you may land to It’s serious business, but don’t be stuffy, Dr. Maynard saya in his book* let. Your Child Today. It’s free to readers of this newspaper. Mall a postcard to Donald M. Maynard, 810 Broadway, Nashville 2, Tannas (or a copy. be a bit too with bar. Incidentally , it la those of us who ■Wmd'bar* ■S|hk|(iib^hHm who do not play fair, drip that bit of advice, except very rarely, in the future. After all, perhaps she shouldn’t always be patient with those who won’t play fair; too much patience by your daughter may give them the impression they can “get away” with such tactics. When your daughter comes to you disturbed because of the behavior of her playmates; help her realize that although most children do play fair, it seems there always are some who don’t and that when they don’t, there isn’t much we can do about it, except to continue to play fair ourselves. Guard even then against giving her a long lecture on the importance of playing fair. Children frequently handle situations like this better when there is no adult interference. The Habit of Swearing W e have three tons. The oldest it eleven years old and somehow he has formed the habit of swearing. He does not hear it in his own home but from adult relatives and from the neighborhood children. I have tried everything short of svashing his mouth with soap, to no avail. When l scold he says he is sorry, that it just slipped out; and he promises not to do it again. But in a little while he slips again. Do you have any idea of a way we could break him of this habitf I am sure you realise that if your son continues to hear his relatives swear, some of whom may eveu be his favorite relatives, and is also thrown constantly with children who swear, it ia going to be exceedingly difficult for him to overcome this unfortunate and undesirable habit. -..—_ A chill cf eJevm is considerably iniliboeed L-y his phyma:.?*. Fortunately, be also is considerably influenced by his home environment and it is because of this that yon need-not despair. Your son will i'nt be able to forget the example of you end your husband, even though other influences for the tune being have developed in him the habit of swearing. Inasmuch as yonr son seems to be genuinely sorry when hi swears*1 would suggest that you gaspiagainst. seeUUws,. him unduly for so doing. Too m«ch stalling may make him want to swear! Assume that he regrets the hibit and is | eager to overcome it. Sit down with 1 hint and have a ‘'man to man” talk as to what may be done to help him stop the ; liabit. (Incidentally, your husband may. i be able to do this better than you can.) Let him give suggestion as to what he thinka may help him. For example, lie may be willing to impose upon himself some penalty, such as denying himself a privilege, when he breaks over and swears. I doubt whether washing his mouth with soap would be of much vsloe, Ut he might lot you ej w»»h that method to sen H it la of Ut me ur, . wr sou.Ua. day.
