V v • VOL. 2.—No. 48. WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY. OCTOBER 4, 19S1 on Pm* v««* |S Johnson family Holds First Re-union ; - . ■ -*■ : About 1®0 members ©f the . •r-- Johnson family gathered on Bed ; Oak mountain, near Woodville, Sunday, September 30, .for the first of the Johnson Family reunions; . “<■ The number in attendance ap*peered eren more remarkable iwhen it is known that the idea was only a month old. Stemming . 4 from a suggestion made by Mrs. ' p John iBoldridge, word got around of the purpose of establishing, an annual picnic, meeting, and gath" ering of the Johnson family. JE. E. Jonnson, attorney ox vw, peper, vu elected president of the event, -with C. E. Johnson Jr. (Ned)' of Sperryville as vicepresident and Mrs. R. M. Johnson of Woodrille as secretary. •E. E. Johnson in a short talk to the group, stated that the land on $he Red Oak mountain had been in the Johnson family fox 7 over ZOO years, an nnusnal fact in tide day and time. There are - . 7 few pieces of land left todays I' that have been owned by on# family for that length of time. It -1s said that the original grant of g the land from the King is still in u the possession of a member of * the family. It ia written on skin, rather than paper, and is cara' folly preserved. 1 The oldest member of the family present for the re-onion was a lady, 00 year* old. The age of the youngest was not annonneed, but his own nnnounee• meat of his presence proved hie longs were good. A genuine good humor prevailed throughout the throng during the day. Moat of those in at, V. tendance admitted they had saten 7 toe much, but they had had a fine day. Cousins greeted eld cousins they hadn’t seen for a long time, and located new cousins they had never seen. One lady was approached with this greeting, “You must be Cousin So-and-So’s daughter, yon look eo most like her.” “No, ma’am,” was, jt the answer, “I just happened to ■t marry a man whose mother was a /•v Johnson. I got to this picnic by marriage, not by birth.” ’ ’' ' , One ox the teen age members ii. of the family was heard to rat f nark, “Give me the city life; none of this country!’’ And when one of his country cousins asked himr where be was from—thinking it i must be Philadelphia or New York ” —the “city” cousin replied, ‘KJol~ peper.” . • ' The following article was contributed by one who signed the writing as “One of the In-Laws.” The Johnson Re-anion On September BO, 1951, automobiles were winding their way up the steep road to the top. of Red Oak mountain. The people who occupied these s.1- cam were possessed by a mysterious and unprecedented urge to leave their homes and the feverish pursuit of business, to seek refreshing rest and fellowship with _ thorn bound by the indissoluble v tie of Family Connection. „ This connection ia like a great, strong bridge, spanning the rivers and valleys along the .highway of life, silently possessing strength || and ability to bear the heavy bur- ' dens of its Toaring traffic, because it was built by the infallible wisdom of a Divine Creator on, the « solid foundations of Faith and Love. Endowed with power to. V withstand the strain of heavy traffic of the' succeeding generations since its creation in the Garden of Eden. Despite the eontinuous attacks of its arc enemy, its clear call comes ringing down v f the ages to §Q whose lives are built on the said foundations of Faith and 'Love. v.' & » | 7 Loyalty and devotion to this inner urge of the family spirit inspired the members of the John* soh Family tq leave their; homes and go to the top of “Red Oak,” their native soil, and with wellfilled baskets of'the good things With which a loving Creator “satis-.; fies the thoths” of His creatures, , -they met to share with each other' ' a delicious repast and become bet. ter acquainted. ' . There was a spontaneous freshness and wholesomeness about this vnprogrammed gathering that permeated' the atmosphere ah they gathered about the long table that had been so thoughtfully prepared1 for the occasion, but which , was in adequate for the bounteous feast that loving hands had mt: lavishly prepared. -:t One could not resist the impression of unity of spirit that rested upon the crowd as “Grace** : was said before eating, reminding one of that occasion when that Mysterious Something by which the two who entertained the Christ after His Reseurection, fad recognized Him by the way. “Be took bread and blessed it, and Igraka, and, gave to them," (Luka (See JOHNSON, page 8.) - County Home By MIm Elisa!** Fut v Hon* A|wt At 8 o’clock Friday, October 6, the Fire House in Washington will be the scene of at big hat re* rue.

On September 4, the first day of school, announcements were made to the high school. Two new rulings were explained to the group. One, by order of the school board, that there' would be no student can parked ott the school ground. On account of traffic congestions at the school, this ruling has relieved a great deal of the presaure. The second, that there ' would be a 8-minute bell between classes, at tin end of which time each pupil is required to he in his classroom. This has eliminated much lagging, confusion in the halls, and has brourht about a more business-like attitude on the part of the pupils. On September 2, the high school pupils assembled in the auditorium for the last half of the closing period, and enjoyed an informal "sing” under the guidance of Miss Charlotte Golladay, county music instructor. ^ “ On September 27, the Rev. E. Wayne Thompson, visiting minister, gave a short, informal talk to the students. They were much impressed by Mr. Thompson’s ability and sincerity.

Methodists Ask Return Of Her. Norman J. Flythe It was voted unanimously for the pastor, Rev. N J. Flythe, to return to Rappahannock Chirks At the fourth quarterly conference Tuesday at the Methodist church in Sperryville. In requesting the Rev. FlytheV return, a comment was made-on his faithful labors among his people. He is now entering his fourth year on this charge. - The Rev. R. Aubrey Hughes preached at the 11 o’clock service. Following the lunch, which was served by the host church assisted by the Methodist congregation of the Washington church, the business session was held. Represen- tatives from each of the seven churches in the charge came with splendid reports of the work as well as good financial report. Be-' sides the official board, a large crowd from the different churches was present. Dry'Weather Compared With Summer of 1930 The brown field* of the county bear mute witness to many a far* oner's statement that the past two months have been as dry as the terrible summer of 1M0. One farmer started to say “the pastures are” and then changed the statement to "The pastures aren’t" One livestock man stated he turned the stock into, the les* pedeza, because these was no usecutting hay if you have to feed it before it’s stored. The water system in the town of Washington has been low for some weeks. A dangerously low point of last week was relieved somewhat when the high school was closed Friday for a teachers’ meeting, followed by the regular week-end holiday. The school uses a large share of the water furnished for the town. People in Washington have been notified not to .water lawns and shrubs or to wash cars.' Every eare is Urged to save water and use only what is necessary. Happy Creek near Front Royal is a golly of reeks. Other stream* are dry to the point where fish are dying and farmers are having to dig out holes in creek beds to "water stock; ' >. ,• - The problem of lack of water is becoming acute. Many folks expressed the hope that September 511 and the Equinox would mean a good rainy spell, but, so far, all signs have failed. Some people have recalled the mid-west • country editor who, in the dreadful drought of 1930,. brought out his weekly paper with large headlines, "Lord, We Confess Our Sins; Please Send Rain.” Others have remembered the story of the little girl who went to the prayer meeting to pray for rain' •und took her umbrella. Small Boy Injured In Fall Franklin Pullen, small son of Mr. and Mrs. James H. (“Goose”) Pullen, was injured Tuesday in a fall through the elevator shaft at Sperryville Cold Storage. The boy fell from the second floor through to the first. He is in Front Royal hospital where reports say he has a fractured skull -, and chest injuries. <$!)*;■'?> —-—w .

E Lynn, > ■ County Agent Twenty -four Rappahannock .farmers attended the beef cattle grading demonstration at “Clover Hill” farm, Woodville, on Friday, September 28, and from followup accounts, enjoyed the work and words of Messrs. Dalton and Jim* my SheUburne Very much, as .well as the hospitality of the OTBannons. Dalton explained that Hie difference between grades of feeder cattle had proven to be 12 bbis. of corn and 36 days earlier marketing in Experiment Station feed lots; Also that given the opportunity, a feeder steer of one grade could be marketed in one grade higher as a finished product. Since prime cattle fetch top slaughter prices and require lees Corn and less time to reach-this grade, you can ponder the whjrs and wherefors of producing or purchasing the best possible. In grading finished cattle about onethird is based on conformation, one-third on finish, and the balance on type (the first impression an animal makes on your mind's eye—or, described by some, as the reason a man stops, turns around and looks at a slick chick he has met on the street—gives a long, low whistle and thenwell, you know that's “tpya.” — ®»eh of the feeder steers eras graded by Jimmy Shelburne, who gave his reasons for each, and was permanently identified. Maurice O'Bannon planned to weigh each steer and check rate of gain through the feeding period at the end of which -each steer will be graded as a finished product on the hoof and, we hope, in the carcass. 5 Conserve water and feed like you’ve never conserved before. ' * * *_ In checking 100-(Bushel Corn Club, applicants we’re finding as high as 35-40% reduction in yield «s result of Jap beetles, not to mention effects of- dry weather. However, at present, looks Uke Earl Kilby may continue his habit of making 100-bushels of com to the .acre. Quality Pasture Contest postponed until 1952, due to dryness. Decision made by H. S. Barksdale, C. M. Ramey, and Earl Kilby, upon recommendation of yours truly and Bill Lewis, extension agronomist, who had made spot checks in the county and found no qualifying pasture.

Honor At Stake A nation’s honor is its most precious possession. It is the basis upon which it builds world prestige, and upon which it may wield real world power. Finland is a case in point; In its international relations we find the highest code of honor expressed both in the material and in the moral. At a time when Russia refuses to return some 600 U.S. vessels she was granted the use of under a loose lend-leaae agreement, little Finland is struggling to pay the debt of a. few millions, refusing to accept any monetary gift from the Uffited States. > What makes one nation hon- orable and another dishonorable? Here we must go to the people Of a country for the answer. In Finland the people are free. In that freedom they exercise the virtue of honor in their dealings with each other. A Finn’s word is ad'" good as a written and documented contract. Thus the mass-honor communicates itself with- impact upon its national leaders in their inter-national dealings, and the worl.d terms Finland an honorable nation. . In Russia the people are enslaved. Enslavement forces the individual to resort to certain ^expedients” of behavior not prescribed by codes of honor. Every act is'merely a means to an-end. Crime in Russia is en masse, with the top Russian national leadership leading the parade. The world today assesses Russia a dishonorable nation. The United, States has' an impressive record of honor among nations of the world. From our early days as a struggling young nation we have inherited an historic background of honor, expressing the composite will of in-, dividuals in a free society where each citizen assumed full responsibility for his acts and actions. But this precious heritage of honor is being seriously threatened today. Not so long ago 90 promising young men were discharged from our military academy for having broken the honor code of that institution. % This incident, which should have shocked the nation, caused instead ' a hue and cry against the West Point “system.” Everywhere people were heard saying: After all, those young men are merely reflecting the time and conditions under which we live. From the lowest to the highest offices in _ our. government we see codes of honor broken, so why punish a few young men because of infractions that seem to be the order of the. day? - <, ' "l , How euy it has become for us, to hide behind alibis. The rich man’s son is a failure because he has too much money, the poor man’s son because he hasn’feenough, and those in-between because of one reason or another. Individually no one must be blamed. He is what he is because of some “system” or “condition” of which be is the product and victim.. 1 ~ .This nation attained its eminence because the individuals therein were willing to assume responsibility for their own acta In the ratio to which’we refuse ■to accept that aesponsibility ab»7f • become a nation of dishonor. - You and I, and those 90 young men of West Point will continue to contribute to the delinquency' of this nation so long as we^choose to regard ourselves the weak “viem.,.. Ill ggg lr¥ tV.-' rtti^tims” of something or other. The time is here for all of na to stand erect, admit our errors, and take our medicine as men—free men, • fully responsible for our acta. ' » Unlesa we do, we shall cravenly desecrate a heritage of honor the like with which few peoples have been so singularly blessed. More than that, through unwillingness to assume responsibility for our individual acta, w*. shall forge another link in the chain that may eventually enslave us and all free men—M.C. ^. ..- ’J’ ;• sg JO? - “Politics is the art at looking % 1 'tor trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it wronf'i0< IT. applying the wrong MM* 0iy.^mr amrnt Mm . * ‘ ' “ '' - .........

And the reason for this is what the Commerce Department calls a “softening of consumer demands.” T h at is, people didn’t buy as much as they had previously—anud so the retailer trimmed his sails to fit the prevailing wind. There was nothing else he could do. Some people still think that the retailer is a tough customer who’s prime ambition in life is to outsmart and exploit them. The retailer couldn’t be that even if he wanted to—not if he means to stay in business for any length of time. Just as a burnt child dreads the fire, so does a customer hurry by the store where he got a read or fancied trimming. The competitor down the street' is there to welcome him with open arms. The-, biggest problem any retailer has— all the way from the one-man specialty shop to the chain with thousands .of outlets—Is trying to figure out i what the consumer wants, what he will or can pay, what his desires will be tomorrow or next week or next year. The bulk of buyers are primarily interested in price—and that is especially true in this inflationary er*; For reasons of self-preservation if no other, retailers keep ’ prices as low as possible. You can offer the consumer goods, but you can’t force him to buy. In the long run, the consumer is the boss. ----— Use the NEWS Classifed AAs c & c tPRIVE-IH THEATRE V | _ On Strasburg Road" FRONT ROYAL 2 SHOWS: 7 and 9 P.M.

President Truman lias strongly defended his proposed Federal, budget, contending that no major eust can be made in any part of it without endangering the welfare of the nation. In a recent speech the President took his most aggressive position, when he stated that charges of waste and extravagance in the Federal establishment amount to a “pack of lies.” The President has every right to his views. But if he is correct in this instance the country certainly is full of “packs of liars,” and they abound in the Demoicratic as well as the Republican party.

The Hoover Commission, which !was entirely non-partisan, showed precisely where - hUlions are. wasted in the administration of the government. Only a few of the Hoover Commission recommendations have been adopted and those that have been are of a relatively minor character. The President's stand is logical only if we assume that centralized government must do everything for everybody. In essence, this assumption says that the people are incapable of taking care of themselves, and that, consequently they must be wards of the state. That is a philosophy of defeat and despair, and no nation could accept it and retain its strength and Pitts Park THEATRE Fr«at Royal, Virginia THUR. - FBI., OCT, 4 - 5 JEANNE CRAIN DALE ROBERTSON 4<Take Care Of My Little Girl” ...mUBPALJiCL-L™. fcOD CAMERON * WAYNE -MORRIS . ‘Stage To Tuceon” SUN. - MON., OCT. 7 • S BEST LANCASTER “Jim Thorpe The All American” Tinjs. .

Other conclusions and recommendations included: 1. The present system of requiring weighmasters on reasolutieuoftha governing body of the county in which the market is. . located should-be continued; if weighmasters are required, the! use of registering weight beams or weight recorders should be provided for., ■ *. 2. All livestock o which is sold by weight should be sold on the basis <of weight determined at the time and place of sale, unless /' otherwise publicly announced. * 4; 3. Bond required to be posted by a market should be increased to a minimum of $5,000 and a maximum of $20,000 (the present Requirement is $3,000.) ' 4. Funds should be appropriated to augment the staff of the state veterinarian to provide for ade4 quate sanitation and disease control at the markets, t 8. The state fire marshall, with the Commissioner of Agriculture, should examine fire hazards at some of the markets.- 4' v6. Collusive sales should be guarded against “and the Com promptly' investigate reports of .collusion amqng buyers.” * 7. The growth and development, of livestock a u c t io n markets should “not be hampered” by re* quirements of certificates of convenience and necessity. 8. Any person regularly buying livestock for resale on sale days within one-half mile of a livestock auction market, except at the market, should be considered a dealer and be required to give bond in the amount of $1,000. 8. Steps should be, taken through an educational campaign __ hr farm agencies and organizations to., prevent damage to stock iby rough handling. ’ The Council Committee which conducted the study was composed ' v' of Senator U. M. Long of St. Paul, Chairman; Parke C. Brinkley, State Commissioner of Agriculture; Dr. Paul D. Sanders, Editor of the Southern Planter, ‘ farm magazine; A. K. Gilmer, of Lebanon; G. Dayton Hodges o£i ■; ? Staunton, Jack Howell of-New •§ Glasgow, and Senator Harry C.4; ; Stuart of Elk Carden. v f The report traced the rapid, j. growth of the public livestock aucJ- tion market in Virginia in the past 20 years, and emphasized the ins-, importance of animal health safe-'i guards at the markets in view of touch hazards as Bang’s disease, | foot rot and other diseases of live* Stock.; The group recommended “administrative action by the Com* missioner of Agriculture” where there was evidence of collusion. ; Its recommendation for the licens* ing of "dealers” within a'one-half .mile radius of a market yras dir* ected at the temptation to engage in "fradulent practices” in the vicinity of an auction center by those who would “siphon^ into their own pockets profits which legitimately should be received by the farmer whose efforts have produced the stock which is brought to market.” v 'Council members approving the report in addition to Senator Long were Senators Ben T.

Even four-lane divided highways are no guarantee of safety when there is excessive speed, lack of attention, improper driving or vehicle failures. While no breakdown was given in the'report as to cl&ss of road on which the accidents occurred, within recent weeks three people were killed on a four-lane divided section *f U.S, Route 11 west of Salem, and 10 were injured in one accident* on the modern Shirley expressway south of Washington, D.

Mr U»re«7Mr«id ton always wants to do exactly the opposite fi anythin* we ask him to do. We can’t make kirn do anythin*. What punishment (if any) do yon an**eat to kelp him be agreeable? It k mil to remember that such beharior, which the psychologists call “negativism,” i» not at all tuuuual for two- or three-year-old children. . There are tefenl possible reasons for It For example, when a child this age wants something, he wants it right now. He has what has been termed “little tension capacity.” It may be that you and your husband hare said “no” to him more frequently than is necessary. Quite naturally he resents your interference with what he wants to tfo and he may hare developed a general attitude of resistance toward yon, a resistance that expresses itself by always wanting to do exactly the opposite of what you ask him. " ( Let me suggest that you reduce your commands to a minimum, that you me suggestions rather than commands whenever possible, and that you see to it that yon help him achieve his desires more frequently than you obstruct their realization. Let your commands be more in the form of requests, and watch the tone of your voice and the expression on your face when yon give them. Children don’t respond to the “top sergeant” approach. Sometimes children oppose their parents because to do to gives tnem * fading of power and usually brings to them the attention they so desperately desire. The more disturbed you are by their opposition, the more delighted they are. It is exciting to pit their wills against yours. In fact, they would rather he punished than not to get any attention at all, or to have no excitement If you think this may bo true of your son, your doe is to guide him increasingly into creative activities that he finds satisfying, to give him approval for his achievements,-and to assure him of your love and pride. He should have his desire for poster gratified through hie accomplishments, rather than through opposing you. know jot Would it he harmful for n alas-ymr old boy moving picture which la of lower standard if moat of the those of high quality? (It is asoomwd that he would ha by s parent and comparisons of qualities of ■»*•) v... ----- I find some difficulty in answering your first question as I So what you mean by a “lower standard.” The answer depends how “low” the picture is. I certainly would not want him to see pictures that are morally vicious, although at his age atMM of the ankle inferences in such pictures may escape him. On the other hand, if he attends pictures with any degree of regularity. It is inevitable that he should see some pictures in which low standards of conduct are at least countenanced, if not encouraged. In such cases, your suggestion is a gsod one that the parent should help him to see the difference between the pictures of higher and lower standards. You are quite right in aaeoming that one of oar tasks as parents is to help our children Worn to discriminate dm good and the bad. injured and homes wean destroyed. Some of the children with Haabe and other injuries show great nervousness and emotions Some are frightfully nervous and restless at night. How is the 1 for parents to help the children overcome this terrible An experience as vivid and terrible as the one you describe inevitably emotional scars that are exceedingly difficult to obliterate—in fact, they may remain throughout life. There is no way by which these children may be restored immediately to a normal emotional state. Nevertheless, there are suggestions which, if followed, will help them in their effort to regain normalcy;—1. Tim example of the parents is tremendously important. As they make every possible effort to return to the normal routines of home and community life and to react normally to everyday experiences, the children will be encouraged to do so, also. ‘ ' . ’ 2. Guide the children'into activities, that are intriguing and normal for those of their age. As children forget themselves in interesting pursuits, they aim “forget” themselves into better emotional health. ■, In extreme cases, that seem to be getting worse rather «hf« better, it may be wise to consult a psychiatrist. . «' Dr. Maynard suggests how yon may answer children’s questions about death in a free booklet.

L. Groth, Safety Engineer for the State Police and Depty Administrator of the Governor’s Highway Safety Committee stated today as preparations were completed for the official fall inspection period opening October i. .With 2,090 official stations and 9,000 certified mechanics, Capt. Groth said there' should be no crowding if motorists would avoid, the usually inevitable last-minute rush. When this occurs, stations, are overtaxed and car owners who cannot procure the now green and red sticker will be subject to arrest if they drive their vehicles. In making this request, Capti Groth noted that there are not about 30,000 more motor vehicles in Virginia than there were during the spring period. He added, however, that the extra burden could be handled by the stations and that, as yet, there was no indication that a shortage of replacement parts would appear. The Safety Engineer noted also that the final instruction period for certified mechanics took place September 24 and that stickers* and receipts were mailed to the stations the 25th. Mechanics this (period, he said, appeared to show . a greater interest than usual which is possably due ,t° thsi mounting n u m b e r of highway deaths... t While every effort is made in approving stations and mechanics and supervising their activities, he pointed out that some irregularities were expected to appear and that the public is invited to" make p r o p e r.reports of them. Since the first of the year, he said, 14 stations have had their privileges suspended and 40 others have received official reprimands. He noted further that defective cars'involved-in crashes decreased from 8.7 percent in 1949 ,to 8.2 In id£0, . I» closing, he asked motorists to present their cars personally to avoid misunderstandings, reminded them that no station could compel them to have repairs done but that they could get estimates from other stations, asked them to allow for honest mistakes which" were corrected and for normal differences in estimates and to bear in mind always that the repairs or 'adjustments effected could well be the wieans of saving a life. * ....._ * - - - k : . ■ • V .
