VOL. a—No. 52. Sen. Guest Stresses Value of Blood Bank The Rappahannock County Chapter of the American Red Cross met in the Court House, at Washington, Virginia, on October S8, 1M1, at 2:*0 p m. The meeting urea called to order by the Acting Chairman, Mrs. D. D. Miller, who informed us that the purpose of the meeting was to secure a Red Cross Mobile Blood Unit for Rappahannock County to obtain blood for our service boys as well as civilian use. Mrs. Miller then requested James W. Fletcher, of SperryviUe, Virginia, to introduce the guest speaker. Mr. Fletcher accordingly made a short introductory speech, introducing Senator Raymond R. Guest of Bnyard, Virginia, our guest speaker on this occasion. . Senator Guest gave an excellent speech, in which he set forth the various uses and necessity for blood end plasma in the armed forces as well as for civilian usage. He set forth that from our stockpile, a reserve saved from World War II and built up since, we had shipped to Korea Mood dere vatives equivalent to 4M.000 pint* of blood donated by the American people, bet that the requirements of Korea had virtually exhausted the supply. He further stated that a coal- of 2*00,000 pints of whole blood mast be reached by July, 1052, which would mean a donation of 200,000 pints of blood per month. Senator (Guest then |»W us a stirring account of some of the previous world combats and bow the use of blood and blood derivatives had lessened the death rate and saved many a boy bn the battle- field, who would otherwise not have returned He described in aebl rending words an American soldier lying unconscious on a liter at a Korean dressing station and the miracle preformed by the immediate injection of plasma, which Cave this young soldier another chance in life. He then gave us ah ' of the casualties in a city from on# “A Bomb” it forth that a possible 20,000 from 80,000 Japanese killed H with blood a principal one. In other words that there should be adequate blood and plasma quickly available for possible multipie bombings of American cities, as well as for qse on the battlefield. He stated that whole blood could not be stored or preserved for more than 21 to 80 days, however there is great hope of preserving the * whole blood for a longer period, poasibly 00 days, but on the other hand they can preserve blood plasma for five years. Senator Guest told us that anyone between the ages of 21 and 50 in good health could donate blood, but that it wae necessary to obtain tiie permission of the parents or guardians of those between 10 and 21. Senator Guest ended h i s (speech with the following words: “None of you, 1 know, would hesitate to give his life to save a Child from death. All you are now being asked to do is to contribute a small amount of the precious fluid that a boy in Korea may live”. The acting chairman expressed our appreciation to Senator Guest for his speech and begged us to do everything possible to assist in this essential program, setting forth that Rappahannock county’s quota would be 200 pints of blood a year at the present, hut that this quota might be raised, which would at this time mean that we would be expected to donate 120 pints of (See BLOOD BANK, page 6) Bradley Addas Buys ^ Cottage Near Old Hollow Mrs. Viola M.

Ttrsary several weeks ago, mark* lag a milestone that is a record among native bon citisens. Her parents, John Thornton, a veteran 6f the Civil War, and Elisabeth Clark, were both natives of Rappahannock. Mrs. Alice. Clark eras bon near Flint Hill; she has been married twice and both husbands were natives of Rappahannock. One daughter, Mrs. Matilda Walker still sticks to (Rappahannock, but a son and a daughter, Dr. J.W. Clark and Mrs. Mary Marshall, have deserted the county to become foreigners elsewhere in the state, the son in Martinsville and the daughter at Burke. Mrs. Clark is spry and active, coming up town to the post office and visiting about whenever she pleases. Her disposition is bright and sunny and almost as famous a§ her stories—tales of events in the neighborhood and some prised jokes. Her remarkable sense of humor and story-telling ability make her company sought, and a visit with her proves fine entertainment. s It is reported that she is a firm believer in old-fashioned home remedies for illness, though she , has little sucess in convincing her doctor-son of file values of these remedies. The family tells that he listens—es he should-but he does not exhibit enthusiasm, and this provokes Mrs. Clark on few. occasions. Mrs. Clark is out-spoken. Whet she thinks, she thinks orally, and she has never forgiven Roosevelt for killing the little pigs. “The time will come,” she stated at the fateful time, “when those little pigs will be needed.” She still retain* the same opinion. Her annual cew-trading is a ,eomxnunity affair. Everyone knows about it, and is interested in finding out how she profits in the deal. Sometimes, she profits; and sometimes she doesn’t. One of Mrs. Clark’s prised birthday gifts was a “nice bottle of brandy” which she is saving for the first snowy day. Mrs. Louemma Sue Tharp Mrs. Louemma Sue Tharp, widow of Elisha Tliarp of Castleton, died October 24, at the home of Mrs. Ella Baily, Round Hill. She was 75 years of age. She is survived by a son, Elisha Tharp, Jr., of Castleton, a daughter, Mrs. John Cloud of Amissville, fourteen grandchildren and two greatgrandchildren. The funeral services were held from Masonova church Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m. and burial iwas in the family cemetery. The services were conducted by Rev. M. E. Sliger and Rev. Frank JCinsey.

Mrs. Roberta K. iMassie says she thought a picnic ham she had last 'week was especially good. She cooked a tenderized ham by placing it in a paper bag and twisting the ehd to keep in all steam. Put the ham on a pan to catch any fat which might seep (through. Then she cooked it in an oven 625° allowing 20 minutes per pound. Caution: be careful of the steam and hot fat when removing the paper bag. xnis meinoa coma oe usea veryeasily in heating over a ham which yon hod cooked previously.

This method allows tike meat to retain its natural jnice and it reduces shrinkage. The time for cooking depends on how large the piece of meat is: Ham—12 to IS lbs. requires Id to 17 minutes per pound; Id to 12 lbs. requires 18 minutes per pound; under 10 lbs. requires 20 minutes per pound.

Dennis of Cistle* ton entered Die armed sendees on Tuesday morning. f* | ceived recently from the owner of two of the largest dairy farms in Northern Virginia. Mr. J. Clifford Miller, Jr., owner of Beauregard Stock Farm, Brandy, and Mount Vernon Farm, tSperryville, tells us what he thinks of conservation. The letter to Rappahannock News follows: Beauregard Stock Barm Brandy Station, Va. October 22, 1951 Editor, Rappahannock New* Washington, Va. When your present Conservation Supervisor, Mr. T. G. Ragsdale. first came to Beaureuard. He started talking conservation planning, but we did not get far with this for several years due to a severe attack of Bang’s Disease in our dairy herd, and the fact that the war came along and I was gone for a couple of years. My first real interest started when 1 saw the State Highway trucks hauling- red soil from the highway that runs on one side of nr farm. I thought it ni a waste of tho State's money tor the highway to haul dirt off a macadam road, end also realized that it was a tremendous waste of my money when this dirt was my topsoil that had been washed on the highway by a recent rain. Contour strip cropping nras our first step in conservation. The cultivation of the row crops, amino ly corn, was at first a little difficult because of so many short rows, but we soon realised that the extra work caused by the short rows was less than the saving in time through cultivating the much longer rows, which naturally resulted, and also the elimination of the necessity of pulling machines up and down hillsT^ ‘ Now when we have heavy reins, no more of our soil and fertiliser (washes to be hauled away by the highway Department, nor does it wash into Fleetwood Branch and head for the Rappahannock River. Our next move was to start using grass silage. After four yean we have gradually gone from 1,000 • tegs of earn silage to 800 tons of grass and 200 tons of corn. Our feeling is that grata silage is equally as good for the cows and certainly many times better for our land. Along with our change in farm methods we have increased our livestock from a straight dairy operation to a better diversified one of dairy, beef, sheep, and hogs. This helps, as the prke of milk does not always cover the cost, or the drought hurts the quantity of milk we have to sell. We then have cattle or hogs to sell. It also enables us to use the extra grass and grain which resulted from better land use program. Our farm at Mount Vernon in Sperryville, where Mr. G. M. Black successfully installed a conservation and land use program, followed the one nt Brandy by about two years. He even set out an orehard on the contour. There was some doubt in our minds about this, but Mr. Henretty said that we would like it, and remembering our experience with strip cropping at Beauregard, we decided to go along with the contour orchard plan. We are simply delighted with ‘the results, and we are now resetting an old abandoned orehard on Turkey Mountain on the contour. By planting it this way we are able to get over the orchard and ’do the spraying and clipping with our machinery. This could not have been done with the old orchard set as it was up and down the mountain. The conaervation and land use plans we have' been working on both farms are so satisfactory that I do not hesitate to be as enthusiastic a supporter as (Mr. Ragsdale and Mr. Black are. I recommended and almost insisted that my fox-hunting friend, Mr. James A. Saunders, ty Goochland awiAjs I know he will foe a better friend than ever because of my recommendation. Because of the plans that were laid out very clearly by Mr. Henretty and followed so well by Mr. Ragsdale and Mr. Black, I am confident that Mount Vernon, which has been in our family for five generations, and Beauregard;, which has been in for two, will be much better farms, and that the younger generations will find farming not only a pleasure but profitable. Yours very truly, J. Clifford Miller, Jr. WJML5.

Primitive man worshipped what he saw, and that gates off hinges? Don’t give it a thought! With all these candidates coining up for election next Tuesday, call one of them. o o o Down in Roanoke recently the newspaper carried a story about a reporter having walked oh the streets and asked about 200 persons at random who their representative in Congress was. Sixty per cent of them did not know Clarence <3. Burton’s nameor else they could not remember it at the time. Such a thing could not happen to us in Rappahannock. There are several reasons, a few of which might be these: Representative Harrison is a familiar sight in the county, in addition to his annual trip to every post office, and he keeps in close touch with his people. However, the street query was hardly a fair sampling of public opinion. This can be understood by anyone. Picture yourself walking down the street—mind occupied, intent upon what you are doing-and someone stops you and asks some question such as the one. “Who is your representative in Congress?” If you answered quickly, it might be “Remember to get two 60-watt light bulbs’’ or some other item you had on your mind at the moment. It brings to mind-an old story told of school days. Eleanor and Pete were sitting in the back of the class room matching pennies. The professor was calling the roll. They were so engrossed in what they were doing that they did not hear their names. The professor Cleared his throat and called the lady’s name loudly. She straightened up quickly and her answer rang clear in the quiet room, “Tails!” o o o There’ve been some prize stories - told of auction sales.

Latham, chairman of local hoard 102, Rappahannock county, reminded college students today that the deadline for filing application blanks for the new series of selective service college qualification tests is fast approaching and he stressed the importance of ali eligible students taking the test if they intend to apply for deferment as students. The test dates in the second series are December 18, 1901 and April 24, 1052. The tests are conducted by the educational testing service of Princeton, New Jersey. Blanks may be obtained by the registrant in any local board office. , Mr. Latham, said that students whose academic year will end in January, of 1952 are urged to apply for the December 13 test, so they will have scores in their tiles when the local boards consider their cases in January. A. C. Latham, indicated that those who do not have test score results in their cover sheets may have “a very difficult time indeed” in convincing their local boards that they should be deferred as students. Application blanks for the "December 18, 1961 test must be posfer marked not later than midnight, Monday, November 5, 1961. Applications for the April M, 1962 test must be postmarked not later than midnight, March 10, 1962. The criteria for deferment as a student is either h satisfactory score (70) on the selective service college qualification test or satisfactory rank in class (upper half, of the freshmen class, upper twothirds of the sophomore class, upper three-fourths of the junior class). Seniors accepted for admission to a graduate school satisfy the criteria if they stand in the upper half of their class, or make a score of 75 or better on the test. Students already enrolled in graduate schools'may be defer, red so long as they remain in good jfjjinding. . — -/*.-^ The standards may be raised or lowered as necessity demands. It is not mandatory for the local boards to follow the criteria. Registrants may obtain a list of the testing centers in the bulletin of information on the college qualification test by requesting the * bulletin in ' person irons any selective service local board. -5-Jf ---• County News Notes Mias Florence Fitzgerald visited ‘Mr. and Mrs. John R.

Highway Equipment Reedy for Winter The State Highway 'Department said recently that plana are being made for what it hopes will he the cleanest Wintef on record. While hoping for a mild one, engineers still are preparing for the worst eventuality with the greatest lineup of equipment and facilities ever operated to keep the roads open? For the first time, there will he a Ctate-wide radio hook-up of all district. and residency offices, equipment shops and engineers' cars for the quick movement of men, equipment or materials to a stricken area. . Small transmitting and receiving sets have been installed in all residency offices except Chatham and Newport News, and these should be complete within 30 days, according to Delamater Davis, highway equipment engineer in charge of the work. The Newport News installation has been held up by a lack of copper antenna cable, and the Chatham office by a pending movement of the residency office. > '* The Bristol, Lynchburg, Richmond, Suffolk and Fredericksburg district offices also are scheduled to have all equipment installed within a month, Davis said. Stations have previously been installed for the Salem and the Staunton and Culpeper districts. To meet disasters, such as flash floods, the roafl agency has acquired three large dormitory and kitchen trailers to accomodate men who must be rushed to isolated areas where there are no nearby living or eating accommodations. Equipment includes some 1,500 straight blade snow plows, a dozen rotary snow blowers, two large drift busters, hundreds of trucks and -tractors and fix new automatic abrasive spreaders. Around 13.000 tons of chemicals and more than 100,000 tons of abrasives are on hand for the fight-if it comesengineers said. Preparations have i n c 1 u d ed trial runs of all eqqipment'completely manned and mounted for actual snow fighting, the erection of some 200 miles of snow fence, and stock piling materials on roadsides and at equipment lots. The trial runs are made as equipment is released from Summer work. Other preparations include contacting city and town authorities for ice and snow removal on State highway routes through the municipalities, making, arrangements in small communities for help in opening roads, contracting superintendents of schools and State, City and County police; in^ntorying heavy equipment available from contractors for emergency work, and arranging for the employment of school bus drivers or other qualified operators when extra help is needed. : , Priorities for road cleaning come in the order of importance, with heavily traveled roads, school bus routes, milk routes and mail routes tops. \ With all these preparations, however, the road agency cautioned that heavy snows with high winds, or thick ice on pavements, will spell trouble, and at such 'times any necessary driving should be done with chains. Highway forces work around the clock during Winter storms, but it is impossible to remove instantly all snow or ice on the spoiling road network, they pointed out. C— iComdr is of F. and Mrs. John R.

FORMULA FOR FAILURE Replying to the tributes paid to him at a testimonial dinner, Herbert Bayard Swope said: "I cannot give you the formula for success, but 1 can give you the formula for failure — Try to please everybody.” THERE IS A WATKINS VITAMIN SUPPLEMENT FOR EVERY FEEDING PROBLEM All livestock and poultry need vitamins. This has been proved by the UJ3.D A., by state experimental farms, and by tens of thousands of farmers all over the country. The real problem is not “Do my livestock need vitamins?”, but "What kinds of vitamins do mjr livestock and poultry need?” Some types of stock need one combination of vitamins, and other kinds of stock need an altogether different group. You can take the guesswork out of vitamin feeding when you ttl»e Watkins Vitamin Supplements. I have six different vitamin supplements—one for every feeding program on your farm. Let me show you these tilted and proved feed-balancers when I call at your farm: Multi-Vitamin Supplement (with or without BIX and Antibiotic).

Paul Thompson, who delivered a short and beautiful prayer. The program had the sanction of Dr. Johnson of the Department of Public Health, and asked for Comment by Dr. John P. Snead and Dr. R. W. Quaintance, both of whom stated that it had their endorsement and that they felt that the program was needed and necessary. •Everyone present was requested to do all they could to help to see that the Blood Unit be brought to (Rappahannock county and that each person present appoint themselves to bring donors. Mrs. Miller set forth that high blood pressure, malaria and other disorders of this type would not necessarily mean that persons who had these could not donate as this blood could be made into plasma. The area representative of The American Bed Cross, Miss DeLeon of Charlottesville, told of the organisation of the unit and stated that this unit would be set up in the baaement of the Baptist church at Spenryville and tha^ there was a unit at the University of Virginia Hospital at Charlottesville, which would be open at all times and that if any local person bloodr could Have Good Record Northern Virginia Power Company and Potomac Edison System truck drivers have placed third in the utility division of the National Safety Council’s Fleet Safety nation-wide Contest, it was announced here this week. The utility company drivers traveled 2,6215,000 miles between July, 1950 and June, 1951, record* ing 29 accidents. This gave them third place among 41 companies. Drivers competing in this contest handle utility company construction, Line Department, Service Department and other division trucks. PE’s safety supervisor Raymond Beard congratulated local driven who helped place the company in the top safety bracket. He stated that last year, Potomac Edison driven finished in thirteenth place in this same contest. He expressed the hope that, “we will continue to advance in the safety standings from year to year." There were 255 Potomac Edison System trucks entered in the 1950-51 NSB contest. The distance they traveled is equal to more than 100 trips around the world.' j. Vegetable Seed In Short Supply Large-scale vegetable gardener* are advised to plan now for needed supplies in 1*68. Stocks of many vegetable seeds were depleted because of lack of rainfall this year, and marketing specialists at V.P.I. say vegetable growers who are planning foil operations for 1668 should start to stock certain supplies, including spray and dust materials, high mixed fertilisers and nifcof such seeds as dwarf wax beans, dwarf limaa, broccoli. Chines# cabbage, cauliflower, hybird aweet corn, kale, squash, spinach, tomatoe and several other vegetables are below those of tide Virginia vegetable growers are especially interested in the supplies of hybird sweet corn, kale Cucumber, squash, spinach and tomatoe seed supplies. In general stocks of bybird sweet corn art only 61 per cent as large as they ware this season; kale, 61 percent cucumbers, 60 percent; squash for summer, 85 percent; squash for winter, 70 percent; spinach, 71 percent; and tomatoes, 84 percent. . Stocks of a fens- vegetable eeed are in adequate supply. These include green beanjL collards, smooth and wrinkled peas, peppers turnips, and rutabagas. - HOMEMAKERS* ITEMS Gifts from the farm or kitchen •re suggested by Catherine Peery, rural arts specialist at V.P.I., as an inexpensive and plesant way of remembering birthdays, anniversaries, and other special occasions, Miss Peery says a nice gift does not necessarily have to be “store bought.” A friend who lives in an apartment in town would like some fiesh country eggs, a bouquet of flowers, or a glass of jelly from your pantry shelf. Gifts of food are nearly always welcomed by people who buy all of their food. .. a fact many farm people tend to forget. Food can be wrapped as effectively as any gift, and material can be^found around any home. Aluminum foil is a food 'wrap for perishable food and is easy to handle in wrapping jars and odd-shaped containers. Coffee cans and oatmeal boxes •re nice for packaging candy and puddings. These containers may be painted or covered with wallpaper. At Christmas time, many farm families send greens . .holly and mistletoe . . .as gifts, in time to decorate for the holidays. Handmade toys are fun to make and give. Old felt hats oat be made into such toys as heads for stick horses, bean bags, and bath scuffs. One color felt can be used to trim another. Felt is easy to work with and never ravels. Toys made from empty spools are liked by small children. Miss Peery says to remember that children vary in interests according to age, and it may be wise to check on these interests if you are giving a gift to a child you have-not seen for a while.. stas fin': FLOWERS FOR ALL OCCASIONS ’'391 MRS.
