(It is sincerely hoped that the fourth movement will in no way be considered a prediction of weather; especially since the first appearance of the orchestra on August 12 was marked by a heavy down-pour for the Opening number.) Additional numbers on the program will be Vienna Life, Strauss; Mississippi Suite of Grofe, including Father of Waters, Huckelberry Finn, Old Creole Days, and Mardi Gras; and Prelude to “Die Meistersinger” of Wagner. An enthusiastic audience of 900 heard Miss Katharine Hansel, aoprono, and Glenn Darwin, baritone, last Sunday evening at Avon Mills. The student concert hud evening was most favorably received. The students performed creditably and proved the value of their sessions’ study at tbs summer music camp. Beetle Dost !• Spread Throughout County Lindsay Blair, Wabb Simmons and Doug Clark are at work throughout the county spreading milky spore dust to combat the Japanese beetle grub. The treatment on Rappahannock pasture; lands started Wednesday morning. -They will be working for the next three weeks primarily in the areas where no milky spore dust has been. used before and where no parasites have been released to work on the beetle grub. A’ year ago the board of supervisors purchased 1000 pounds of the beetle-fighting dust to sell to county farmers at wholesale. Most of the dust sold to farmers went in the Flint Hill Re-settlement area, around Washington, and around Sperryville. The remaining spore dust was sold to the state entomologist, Dr. French, on the condition that it would be used within the county. * 'Red Cross flood Relief Fund Still Under Goal Donations for the American Red Cross flood relief fund have now reached $38, reports Mrs. D.

LOCAL OFFICERS PLAN TO MAKE RAPPAHANNOCK HIGHWAYS SAFE In line with the Governor’s Safety Campaign, Sheriff J. W. Critzer and State Police William Buntin have announced their full co-operation in helping to prevent death on the highways in Rappahannock. This campiagn toward highway safety has. been brought more and more into pubilc notice with the startling and horrifying news of the numbers of deaths on highways throughout the state and nation. Sheriff Critzer and Trooper Buntin have stated their willingness to do their share in preventing accidents in the county. They agree that, if need be, they will drive a hard bargain against the dangers of speed and carelessness shown by drivers on the county highways. They hope that unpleasantness may not have to occur, but if their duties do lead to making some arrests that seem harsh, they know that if one life is saved, then the campaign is worthwhile. The object of this concerted effort to wipe speed and carelessness from the highways is to furnish the “ouncf of prevention” and make unnecessary the “pound of cure.” School will open in twelve more days. The children will be on the highways, at the mercy of drivers of automobiles. If a few arrests will help make drivers more conscious of their responsibilities, then it is best to let them learn this way rather than have a child killed. Young drivers need to be reminded that the lives of other people depend upon the manner in which they drive. Children need to be cautioned daily to watch when they cross highways. Many drivers need to be reminded that a sleepy driver can be a killer, even though he may not mean to be. The dangers from an intoxicated driver have been re-iterated and everyone knows them. •Missionary Society Making Articles To Sell At a recent meeting of the Julia Hagood Graham missionary circle of the Flint Hill Baptist church, the members promoted a scheme which they say .will not onljr help the missionary cause, for which all missionary sdfcieties are organized, but will help each one of the members individually. Each member taking a dollar for starting capital, the girls are using their talents in making saleable articles which can be used for small gifts for various occasions, such as birthday gifts, bridge prizes, and any other small remembrances. Profits are turned into the circle treasury, and the capital- used again, with hopes of more profits. The circle is divided into two teams, the Whizzers and Buzzers, and the girls are expending their energies vicing for more sales for their respective teams. Purchases which can be made from members of the missionary circle are as follows: Fancy crocheted pot holders— Mrs. Buck Williams. Bridge table covers and napkins —Mrs. W. A. Moore, Jr. Christmas cards—Mrs. Earl Edmonds. Applesauce nut cakes — Mrs. Clyde Lillard. Ear rings—Mrs. Walter Krouse. Bridge tallies—Mrs. B. J. Wood. Chocolate nut fudge—Mrs. David Corbin.

Soil Saver Notes By L. B. Henretty Culpeper and Rappahannock counties held preliminary meetings last week for representatives of agriculture, business, banking, and industry to discuss the functions of the various bureaus operating under the U. S. Department of Agriculture. The Department of Agriculture is requesting that all farmers express their frank opinions relative to how the various programs may be improved to render greater assistance to farmers. It is hoped that the individuals attending the meeting this week will discuss the programs with their friends and neighbors in order that all those attending the county-wide meeting will be in a position to give numerous suggestions. This survey is known as the “Farm Family Policy Deview.” "Grass Root” reactions and suggestons on all of the farm programs from farmers is particularly requested. The Under Secretary of Agriculture specifically states that all persons making recommendations be identified and indicate if they are speaking as a representative of any organization. Occasional requests have come in from Culpeper and Baypahannock county farmers for information on weed conjU'ol in • farm ponds. Weeds ere a constant problem to farm pond owners when ponds are improperly constructed and when sufficient fertiliser is not applied. Correct pond construction for weed control includes removal of dirt around the edge of the pond to eliminate shallow water areas. A minimum depth of two feet is adequate. The slopes on the wet side of the fill should be three to one and on the dry side two to one. The use of a properly in-* stalled overflow* pipe will eliminate wet, swampy areas around the fill and spillway. One of the safest methods of eliminating weeds is to fertilize the pond well. After fertilization the water in the pond will take on a color or “bloom” which is a cloudiness of the water caused by the presence of millions of plants and animals which are microscopic in size. The bloom is highly effective in shading out most of the plants submerged in the pond. If various circumstances make weed control impossible by fertilization or other methods, the most practical of all methods is to pull the weeds by hand. Plants such as cattails and spikerush are almost sure to become established around the water line- of old ponds. The weeds should be pulled before they become established in deeper water. As a last resort, weeds may foe controlled by poisoning the water to reaches submerged plants on spraying chemicals on the leaves of plants above the water. Clarence Gough recently completed a .6-acre pond at “Echo Hill" near Washington. Mr. Gough expects to construct another pond immediately that will be somewhat larger in surface area. Fish for stocking both ponds will be made available at a later date through the Culpeper Soil Conservation District. All farmers who have • developed complete plans for soil and water conservation may receive fish through their soil conservation district, in cases where ponds are properly constructed. ----- Birth Announcement Mr. and Mrs. T.

Farmers To Hold Meeting Friday At Courthouse Farmers of the entire county will gather at the Courthouse totomorrow night, Friday, August 24, to discuss and hear discussion, of the Family Farm Review. Giles H. Miller, Jr., of Culpeper, has been invited to address the group." Mr. Miller, bankerfarmer, has made a study of this impending review and has agreed to pass on the information he has gathered to the farmers of Rappahannock. In the first meeting Tuesday, August 4, a few farmers met with members of the agricultural work and tried to study out the purposei of the Family Farm Review and. the proposed research and recommendations. The proposed review was incomprehensible to the farm- . ers who wanted to know how the information was going to he used) before they gave their approval. They seemed to fear that the whole thing “smacked of socialism” and they thought the facte might be mis-used in presentation to Congress. It was because of what they did not know and what they eould nob find out that they became suspicious of the proposed effort to contact the “grass roots” for their opinions on matters pertaining to fanning. The farmers were doubtful of the review when the following facts came to light: e comprehensive survey was to be conducted throughout the entire county in 45 days, with 15 of them gone; and the county was asked for a farm survey to get information on the value of agencies under the U. S. Department when these 14& agencies would be helping to conduct the survey. Relatively few farmers were present for that first meeting, hut} it is expected that almost all the farmers of the entire county will be present Friday night to hear what's going on ud protect their interests. v ---Wi— "Cold Hill” Changed To "Headwaters Farm” E. G. Howes, Jr., has announced that his home near Huntjy has been named “Headwaters Farm," because it lies at the headwaters of the Rappahannock River, At Chester Gap, just above the farm, rises a tiny stream, and on “Headwaters Farm” several other small streams join it to begin the river that becomes the “Mighty Rappahannock” by the time it reaches Ferdericksburg. * “Headwaters Farm,” known locally as the Downing Place or “Cold Hill,” is actually in Fauquier county, the large white house and parts of the farm. Rappahan. nock county begins at the top of the mountain at Chester Gap, but by some freak of map-making, the house, seen plainly from the high* way coming down the mountain toward Huntly, is located in Fauquier. Mr. and Mrs. Howes are now now living at “Headwaters Farm.*'' Their daughter, Miss Wendy Howes, is being married at Cape Cod next month, and their son, Samuel C. Howes, is a student at Middlesex School in Massachusetts. He is spending the summer with* his parents here. - TVEntertain At Bridge Mrs. Will Keyser, Joe DeJ. Keyser and Mr. and Mrs. A. H.

' Davenant (1606-1668) * * * The Fanner Should Be Very Happy Since last week’s meeting concerning the Family Farm Review, the local farmers can find out very little in answer to what they don’t know. In a joking mood, they can quote: “Where ignorance is bliss, Tis folly to be wise,” and announce that they should be very * happy. But, when there has crept Into the whole affair a smell of socialism, the farmer isn’t as happy as he should be. The meeting Friday night should clear up some of the puzzles, however, when the county farmers gather at the Courthouse to try to find out what’s brewing. --'ft-: Don’t Look Now; But Your Feud's Showing After last week’s poem on “Sperryville, Our Town,” written by one of the citizens of that noble village, the feud’s on again! The last piece of news was to the effect that a citizen of illustrious Washington—First of Them All —was preparing an answer, but he was hasing trouble getting some one to put it into rhyme and his talents didn’t run along that line. A citizen of Flint Hill has expressed the sentiment that they are tired of being left out: they want to be in a feud, too. It seems to be so much fun. In Flint Hill they are debating whether to start htemselves an original feud, all their own, or whether to align themselves on the side of either Washington or Sperryville and join in the one already going strong. There are arguments on both sides. They might discover that Amissville or Woodville would enjoy the fun of a feud, to sharpen wits and furnish conversation and impetus to poetic talent. Then, two communities could be made happy. If they align their forces with either Washington or Sperryville, they will break thei balance of power; since these two towns have about the same number, Flint Hill’s joining will throw the feud on unequal proportions. That might lessen the fun, or it might bring Amissville or Woodville into the feud on the side of the under-dog to even the bal YOUR HOME SWEET HOME!

There's been publicity of ell kinds on the Blue Ridge Music Festival, but one Betty Beale, in the Evening Star of recent date, entitled “Exclusively Yours" takes the cake! That lady should be handed the trophy, for she has furnished more amusement to the local people than any other newspaper contributor. ' The lady's story runs like this: “The accent in the Virginia Hunt Country this week end is not on the hounds, the horses or even the houses. It’s on the opening—and it may some day be termed historic—-of the Blue Ridge Music Festival. “Landowners, fox hunters and just plain residents from around Warren ton and Middleburg, from the Shenandoah Valley, from, in fact, .numerous counties all the iway up to Washington, D.C., will head for little Washington, >Va., Sunday afternoon for the pre-< micro of Virginia’s Tanglewood.’’ “Seated ip the idyllic surroundings of a grove of locust trees they will bear a full symphony orchestra play its first concert at the old Avon Mill which the best families in Rappahannock County thfemselves converted into an outdoor concert stage. In shirtsleeves .and dungarees they ipent a good part of the summer sawing and painting the mill and clearing the land up to Rush River.’’ The lady’s dissertation ain’t concluded yet, but we pause for breath, since that last paragraph just about took our breath away. “Best families in Rappahannock County” eh? Upon -consulting Paul Walker, who was contractor in charge of restoring the old mill, the following facts were gleaned: he and George Davis worked on .the old mill, yes; but he was born in Washington, D.C., and George Davis, is from Warrenton. Let’s see, now, hack to our lady’s story on the Festival. Oh, yes, she put Mr. Haaker’s name in the story twice. One time she spelled it Baker and the next time Hakker. It’s to be hoped thd pianist and conductor isn’t sensitive about how people spell his name; if Ihe is, he’s spent an unhappy evening. Continues our columnist: “Federal Reserve Board Governor Jim Vardaman is one of the directors of the Blue Ridge Music Festival Association, and editor and novelist Ralph Ingersoll and his wife of New York were among the first to become members. They are currently doing over an old Federal period house they have purchased near little Washington.” Give me a clothes-pin; I need it to put on my nose! Tis many interesting bits of information the lady put in that paragraph. According to information around these parts, the directors of the festival have not been named, and the publicity director no later than Tuesday informed the local newspaper office that names would be released next week, after the final concert. Mr. Vardaman should have told us he was one of the directors—that is, if he knew it.-1_ The way the lady’s story reads it sounds as if editor and novelist Ralph Ingersoll and his wife have purchased a home in our county. Get ready, folks, we have new! neighbors and should go calling or show we’re socially-inclined. Back to the lady’s story again: “Of course, the George H. Davis, Jr.’s, will be very much in evidence.” —Is that nice?—“Dorothy* Davis is the lady mayor of Washance—and then there’d be a nice, big, county-wide fight. That would be fun! THE AMERICAN WAY KOssW Sucker Bait ington, whose population of 342 swept in an all-petticoat government a year ago and therein lies one very good reason why Little Washington became the site of the festival.” " Stop! We’ve had enough! The town had 245 when the census was taken last year. That 342 can certainly state the town is increasing! There have been a few birth announcements, but not that many!

That goes back to favorable prices and ample corn to feed pigs, which, in turn, has meant more pigs and Anally more pork on meat counters. The 1950 count of pigs in this country was more than 100-million—largest in peacetime. This year the number of pigs is expected to reach 106-million. Result: more pork in prospect not only for this year but through much of 1962. Cattle numbers are larger this year, too, but during the first half of the year many cattle have been held on farms.

He is of a happy disposition—bright, alert, and healthy. Ever since ha was six or eight months old he has responded by crying and yelling, often for a long period of time, over any little thing that didn’t go his way. When he was a year old a person of some authority suggested that we shut him in a room alone until he stopped screaming. This produced hysterics, continuing an hour or more, and we thought it unwise to keep it up. What should we do, completely ignore him? So far this treatment has worked the best although it has not lessened the number of attacks. One would need considerably more information than is given above to answer this question adequately. The following suggestions, however, may prove helpful: 1. Find out if the crying » the result of physical causes. Food that does not digest, teeth coming in, undue fatigue, or other physical discomforts may be a factor in his tendency to cry frequently. Keep close, therefore, to your physician. 2. You are wise in discontinuing the practice of putting him in a room alone. This is the advice that frequently was given ten or fifteen years ago, but pediatricians are increasingly realizing that such advice is not wise. ■ ;?■ 3. Make every effort to avoid situations in which your child will feel frustrated. Your child will not be able always to have his own way, of course, l,«,t t k.ro ic nn T(‘ tl AII WilV tuftTf* enrml/l Hut t iici “ atr itu tnmtrar nut lutaqraapwM^• be frequent occasions when he feels thwarted. Right now he needs many happy and satisfying experiences. Be sure h<- has play materials that are suitable for him and that do not put him under tension. 4. Be certain that he has plenty of ■ affection and love from both you and your husband. He needs these if he is to have that feeling of security that will enable him to face obstacles without being overwhelmed emotionally. 5. Although it may be necessary to ignore the crying when he has one of his spells, this does not necessarily mean that you must ignore him. At times you can divert his attention to something that is interesting and thus stop his crying. After he has stopped crying, be sure that he does not feel that you are angry with him. Learning to Talk Out son is eighteen months old. He; has been walking for ten months. He is very active and independent physicaily, but he won’t try to talk. Occasionally he says a word or so. Should we try to teach him to talk or let him take his time? Most children begin to say words somewhere bctwern the ages of one and two, so you should not consider your child in any way retarded in his speech development. Individual differences are quite apparent in the time that children begin to talk and even though your child may not talk much at the age of two, there is nothing particular 1o worry about. If at the age of two and a half I or three he does not talk, then you may have some reason for concern. In your son’s case, I rather suspect that when he wants to talk he will begin to do so. I Would not unduly , urge him to talk as this may cause him to develop more rapidly than is normal for hint J see no reason, however, why you should not teach him a word, now and then and express approval when he uses If you have a question about your child—from infancy through the teens —send h to Donald M. Maynard. 810 •Broadway, Nashville 2, Tennessee, to be answered through a future column in this newspaper. one correctly. There it a difference between “urging” and “encouraging.” En| courage but not urge, therefore, is perhaps the beat way to indicate what you should do. Wise parents will be sure that the ^child knows the name of various objects and will then refuse to give them to him until he asks for (hem by their correct names. When be does so, furthermore, they will be generous in their approval, although they will, guard against giving. so much approval that the child becontes spoiled and folks in order to show off. if the patents of these retarded children follow these suggestions and no tmprovemlht results, tie retardation may be due to physical causes, such as deafness or malnutrition.

" > - Large Families We have a happy home, three hue boys, and ore mutually happy, as hur band and wife. For the last year or so. i have hud « desire to have one or two more children, maybe even a girl! Or even more boys, as I love them all. The idea of th%'ild-fashioned family strikes me favorably and I love it! However, in moments of consideration, l realize the strenuousness of these times, the financial responsibilities, doing our best by the three we now have; and in addition, the vital need for help in the communities, the schools, the churches. Is it practical, or advisable, in these days to Jsave a large family? My husband agrees with my attitude. It seems to me that you and your husband may be just the ones who should have a large family. Certainly you should not let the needs of thf church and the community for your services deter you from having additional children. There is no better way to serve either than by bringing up to maturity fine, intelligent children who are socially and spiritually sensitive. If your family income, therefore, is such that you -can assure your children wholesome living conditions and adequate educational opportunities, there wotifd seem to be no reason why you ahould not have the family you desire. w > You were right Jim, ovon tho old tractor pulls w bettor! .

HARVEY DAILY Thornton’s Gap Primitive Baptist Church was. organized in November, 1787, in what is known as the Old Hollow. The records do not show who or how many were in the constitution, but .says, “The church was composed of a considerable number of persons baptized by immersion on profession of their faith. This church was constituted on the principles generally received by the Baptists. Elders William Mason, Hemy Goodlow, John Pickett, John Koons, being present declared them an orderly Bapitst church of Christ, at which time the church made choice of Elder John Koons as pastor.” Jackson, Adams, John Swindler, Joseph Biyan, Sara Bryan, Sofa Jones, Cloe Swindler, were among the early members. September 11, 1790. “A matter of distress arose between Ann Chapman and Betsey Smith and John Koons, Charles Yates, Mollie Yates, Betsey Manefee, and Cloe Swindler appointed to settle the matter. John Swindler and Hen. ry Manifee chosen to prepare a deed for Isaiah Bryan to acknowledge, a piece of land to the church where the church house stands.” Until 1826 the church was a member of the Shilo Baptist Association, but because of Missionary Societies they withdrew from the association. At a church meeting July 1,1826, an order was made “to have nothing to do with the General Association of Missionary Sociaties of Virginia.” February 21,1891, the church again divided. Elder Charles L. Yates and his followers started Sunday School and Missionary Society, preaching the means doctrine, the things the church had declared against in 1826. It was agreed that each side hold meetings in the same house. The old meeting house became in bad repair and rather than repair it it was agreed that the side known as the Regular Baptists have the hill and the old house while the Primitive Baptist side built their house in the lower land. While Elder J. B. Jenkins was pastor in 1916 the Primitive Baptist built a new house and held their first meeting in the house the fifth Sunday in October, 1916. Since this time Elder J. B. Jenkins, Elder A. F. Suddeth, and Clarence Frazier have been pastors. The writer is the present' pastor. EPISCOPAL TRINITY EPISCOPAL (Washington) Dr. W. G.

Undulant fever is an infectious disease caused by an organism ■which is usually derived froift infected cattle, hogs, or goats. It is known to be the same organism which causes infectious abortion in cattle. Clinical Description—Incubation period or the tinie which elapses between the date of infection and the appearance of first symptoms is usually fifteen to thirty days, but apparently may be as short as six days. Symptoms—These vary greatly; but in typical cases some or all of the following usually occur: headache, fatigue; chills or chilliness; backache; loss of appetite; fever, with a marked daily rise and fall (hence, the term “undulant" fever), accompanied at times with temporary abatement of symptoms; constipation occasionally preceded by diarrhea; profuse sweating, especially at night; nervousness; mental depression; sleeplessness; pain in abdomen, joints or muscles; and progressive loss of weight and strength. Relapses may occur, but as a rule they are less severe than the original attack. ' The illness may occur in a mild form in which weakness, fatigue and a slight rise intemperature! are the only manifestations found. In other instances, the patient may be severely ill. He may be prostrated for several months and if relapses occur, for a year or even longer. The gradual onset of the disease and the symptoms, at times, are suggestive of typhoid fever or gall bladder infection, especially when the fever is of more or less continuous type. The clinical picture of undulant f ever may be variable and may simulate a number of other diseases, such as influenza, bronchopneumonia, tuberculosis, malaria, rheumatic fever, arthritis, and appendicitis. The disease ia Aaissals— The inciting microorganism in domestic animals and man is the same but the clinical manifestations differ markedly. Abortion is apparently the outstanding symptom in cattle and hogs. Infected goats may show few, if any, abnormalities. Also cattle and hogs affected by the disease sometimes appear to be in perfect condition. Many farmers are eliminating Bang’s abortion disease in their herds by testing their cows at regular intervals, disposing of those found infected, and purchasing only cows B • sure yoj FUSSELLS ICECREAM FUSSELL-YOUNG ICE CREAM COMPANY '_Calptptr, Virginia For Buying and Selling REAL ESTATE SEE RAY T.

On June 6, 1951, I filed a declaration of candidacy with the Rappahannock County Democratic Committee and a few days later I was d^plared the Dembcratic Nominee for Sheriff of Rappahannock County. Should you see fit to elect me ob November-6th, I, will -endeavor to render to you the same service l have given you for the last 14 months. > Thanking you for your consideration, I am, Gratefully yours, tfc J. W. CR1TZBR. Candidate's Card I hereby announce that I am a candidate for election to the County Board of Supervisors, representing Piedmont Magisterial District, subject to the General Election, November 6, 1951. I respectfully solicit the support of each and every voter in the district and, if-elected, I pledge my every effort to perform the duties of this office to the beet of my ability. . EDWARD M. ESTES 8-23,30; 9-25; 10-1 V which have been tested and found to be free of the infection. \ . .Methods of Transmission— Thetransmission of the organisms to man from animals may occur in several ways: by consumption of . raw milk or cream fronri infected animals; through the abraded or the unbroken skin or mucous mem. brane; by contact with the blood or organs of living infected animals, or the carcasses of slaughtered infected animals. The last mentioned mode of exposure is of particular importance in the case of veterinarians, dairy farmers, meat inspectors, packing house workers, and butchers. In New York state, most of the cases of undulant fever are believed to have been'1 contracted through the use of raw milk or cream from infected cattle. As far as is known, the disease is rarely, if ever, transmitted from one human being to another. Prevention—To avoid contracting undulant fever through the consumption of milk, use only properly pasteurised milk and cream. To avoid ufcdulant fever infection through contact with infected cattle and hogs, those whose occupations necessitate handling such animals or any part of their deaff bodies should appreciate the danger involved in their work. They should vdiaenfeet wounds and skin abrasions immediately and use rubber gloves in their work when practicable. Heavy Egg Consumption 'Predicted for Year « Each American civilian likely will eat an average of 406 eggs in 1061, 12 more than last year’s record consumption, and over 100 more than during the five years before World War H. D. U. Livermore, poultry marketing specialist at says this heavy egg-eating probably will continue even in the third quarter of 1961 when retail prices are expected to be well above the relatively low level of a year ago. In the last quarter prices may average about the same as a year earlier. 'Em production during the first six months of 1051 was somewhat lower than for- the corresponding period in I960, but supplies distributed to civilians for current consumption were larger. This arises from the fact that no government purchases of eggs for price support have been made this year, and the net movement of eggs 4n storage during the period decreased sharply. On July 1 cold storage stocks of shell and frozen eggs were 6 per cent smaller than those of a year earlier, while holdings of shell eggs were the second smallest on record for that date and about onethird below* last year. ( Egg production during the last half of the year likely will be somewhat larger than a year earlier.- This will offset the reduced supplies available from cold storage stocks. While the number of mature chickens in laying flocks at mid-year was about the same as a year ago, the output of eggs is expected to expand because of the higher rate of lay per bird. More chickens are being raised for farm flock replacement than in 1956, but the increase in egg supplies from this source will not occur until later in the year.
