Rappahannock News, November 8, 1951

VOLUME 3 — NUMBER 1. WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1951. 12.00 PER YEAR ‘News' Begins Third Year With this issue, Rappahannock News'begins its third year. To help celebrate the paper’s second birthday, the county paper is ail dressed up with a “new look.” It is now printed five-columns wide where It used to be six-columns, and the length is four inches shorter. It has more pages of a smaller size. The sum total of printing is the same; it is just easier to handle. The new size has two advantages : one to the reader and one to the advertiser. Fof the reader, the advantage comes in being a handier size for holding, for turning the pages, and for carrying around. Many weekly newspapers have switched to this size within the past year. City papers found that the smaller size paper meant the officeholder riding home from work oaihe bus or street-car, could read his paper without punching his elbows in his I neighbor’s eye. In rural sections and in small towns, the smaller size was declared more convenient because of the nature of the conutry weekly newspaper. The country weekly has joined the semi-magazine class of publication. When the daily paper is thrown out at the end of the day because another is arriving tomorrow, the weekly hangs around the house, often- on the living room table, since another copy does not arrive until next week. The weekly newspaper carries the listings of the movies for the whole week, so it is kept for reference. Likewise, auction sales, special sales on special days in stores, and other items make the ■weekly paper one that remains in the home until next week’s paper comes to take its place. Being a smaller size makes it more comfortable for the paper to lie around the house. The value to the advertiser lies in the fact that he can have less competition on the page with his advertisement. For the same amount of money that would buy only a small part of a large page, he can draw more attention to his advertisement on a smaller size page. American Legion Pl&cque To Be Dedicated Monday When the American Legion Auxiliary was organized in 1947, one of their goals was to place a placque in the Courthouse in hon«r of the county men and women -who served their country in the armed forces. The organization has realized this goal, with the placque placed on the Courthouse wall in April of this year. Dedication of this placque will be on Monday, November 12, at 2:3<J P-m. at the Courthouse. Everyone is invited to attend and pay a small tribute to those who served their country. -'jf__ “Come, See, and Hear Uncle Fred”, Nov. 15 Come, see and hear Uncle Fred and the Dixie Night Hawks at the Flint Hill school Thursday, November 15, -8 P.M.

W. Arthur Miller, real estate broker, is the only business in Rappahannock who has never missed a single issue for advertising in his local paper. One business in Front Royal, one in Culpeper, and the Pitts’ Theatres in Culpeper and Front Royal are the three consistent advertisers. Donahoe’a Flower Shop in Front Royal, with Mrs. C. E. Giles of Washington as county representative, has had its notice in every issue of the paper sifice the first one. C. Roy Jones, jeweler of Culpeper, is the business from that neighboring town who has had ah advertisement in Rappahannock’s paper every issue since the paper started. There are many advertisers who have been consistent advertisers in the paper, if not in every issue. Some of these advertise their business every other week, and have done so consistently. There are several advertisers who have missed one or two issues, but do not have 100 per cent records like the four listed. Watt* and Newberry’* Share News Anniversary When Rappahannock News got ready to celebrate its birthday, it was discovered that Watts’ Barber and Beauty Shop, Washing, and Newberry’s in Front Royal are having anniversaries also. Marion G. Watts is twice as old as Rappahannock News with his Barber and Beauty Shop, but he never will be again. Hereafter, he’s only two years older. Newberry’s in Front Royal is celebrating the second anniversary of the opening of their enlarged store. The famous ten-cent store had been in Front Royal before November, 1949, but it grew up to be a big store at that time, so that’s the birthday they celebrate. Ned Bowen, in J. F. Forsyth Hardware "Store says they’re going to wait awhile to celebrate an anniversary. The business is onlg 76 years old, so they are going to celebrate in 24 more years and make it an even 100!

H. Lyne County Agent Through the kindness of members of the Rappahannock Angus Breeders Feeder Calf Sale and those of the Northern Virginia Feeder Calf Sale, I was able to attend the convention of the National Association of County Agriculture Agents, held this year at Memphis, the last of October. The program exceeded by far my expectations in every respect and consequently I am eager to report, via the press, to those who might be interested. First of all, may I say there were 1035 county agents there from Maine across to Washington and south! In fact, at the roll call, the only places I caught without representatives were Vermont and the Philippines. Even little ole’ Rhode Island had one of its county agents representing exactly 50 per cent of its men in this profession. There were 26 county agents in attendance from Virginia. The program got underway at 6:45 Sunday morning with breakfast in West Memphis, Arkansas, as guests of the Crittendon County Farm Bureau and was followed by a tour to Wilson to observe cotton ginning and processing of cottonseed and soy beans. At the processing plant I was most impressed with the size of a pile of soybeans (under roof) which was about three times the size of our county Courthouse. Then, too, we saw the two grades of lint being taken from the cotton seeds as it comes from the .gin; also, cottonseed meal, cottonseed cake, cot(See RAPP-CHATS, Page 6) Teen-Age Club Names Officers and Rules Teen-ag«rs of Rappahannock met Tuesday evening to organize the Rappahannock Teen-Age Club, elect officers, and set up necessary rules for the organization.

Most Incumbents Return In County Election With many voters staying: away from the polls, all but one of the incumbents were returned to office in Tuesday’s election for Rappanannock county. In Piedmont Magisterial District, Edward M. Estes defeated the incumbent, Paul Frank Brown, for Supervisor. (S«e Vote Tablvition, page 12.)

Rappahannock News Published Thursday Morhing at Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia Dial Washington 2851 LUCY CATHERINE BOWIE Publisher Entered as second-clas3 mail matter at ths post office at Washington, Virginia. Subscription:-$2.00 a year The Country Newspaper The country newspaper-the county .weekly—takes tes place in the American pictuivyis firmly as framed pictures of George Washington and school children memorizing the preamble to the Constitution. The county weekly is a part of our way. of life. There’s nothing so “stupendous, gigantic, and colossal” about the 10,000 country weekly newspapers in these United States. Occasionally one of them is cited with a prize of some nature for exceptional public service, but the majority of them are printed year in and year out serving their place in the community with no particular fanfare. ' The small weekly newspaper is the souree of much joking and poking of fun by the big city brothers-in-the-business. The large! city daily paper is a highly specialized affair, with reporters in foreign countries and news coming in by wire every hour of the day. The city daily is, also, a part of our American way of life and it exerts a tremendous influence on out opinions with its reporting and daily cartoons. The weekly paper is news of the home town and surrounding community. To the native who has moved elsewhere, it is a weekly letter from home. To the local folks it is a means of keeping up With their neighbors and knowing pPpi is going on. The local happenings are not news to everyone throughout the nation, but they are important around the community. The county weekly serves the people of the small community with help in working out their problems at home. It is a means of spreading news of benefit parties to be given, church meetings, and meetings of the farmers to discuss business. Through the local paper goes information of the happiness and sorrows of our neighbor.

The death of a citizen in the small community is a sorrow, for it affects all his neighbors. The weekly bridge clubs are a source of reading interest; some people may complain that they are always the same, week after week, but that is The weekly newspaper is the means of the storekeeper letting the people in the community know what he has to sell. It would be to no advantage for him to run advertisements in™ some large city paper, for it covers so much territory that would not be near him; neither could he afford the high prices of advertising in the big papers. The classified advertisements serve the same purpose for local folks to sell some item which they no longer need but is too good to throw away and may be of use to a neighbor. When radio and television and the big city newspaper began such “big business,” the prognosticators went to work overtime. They knew the little country weekly was on the way out. They predicted its early. demise. But, as with so many other predictions, 10,€00 country weeklies are still being printed. It is a form of service to the small community that no other medium has been able to perform in quite the same manner. The large metropolitan areas may think that they control the nation, but the voters in the combined small communities have given them a set-back on occasions. The little country paper serves the small community in stating its views—and stating them plainly. The small paper is numerous throughout the nation, and it is read more carefully and thoroughly than its bulky city-sister. -- IMIMIMliaillF L s f5 ‘The Time Has Come? | the Walrus said i s Two years, 104 issues of Rappahannock News, and some thousand-odd hours of sleep lost later, here comes Volume 3, No. 1 of the county weekly.

They placed Sperryville in serious danger. Last year they almost wrecked the business establishment of a reputable business man. Not content with that they turned their attention to the welfare and safety of Sperryville itself. They drove around in a car and with a small gun shot out the street lights, putting the town in darkness. They then put the lights at the ‘hotel out of business. But that was not enough. They further jeopardized the town by shooting out the safety light in front of the, fire station. • Even this was not enough. They sought out the only automobile in town equipped and used for emergency ambulance service . When the owner was ready to drive it out the next^ morning^ he found the air out o£ the tires, so hisi appointment in ano*her town had to be delayed, while he walked across town to borrow a hand pump and inflate his tires. Had he been on a mission of mercy, to rush a serious illness or accident to the hospital, -as he has done more than once during recent months, the patient may have died while the car owner was overcoming the delay caused by these thoughtless and near-criminal youngsters. This is not harmless fun. It is a record of disgraceful and dangerous conduct.—Contributed Let Him Have It! Sitting at his desk at the city paper, the bighly-s p e c i a 1 zied worker dreams of “getting a little country paper and retiring.” That is one of the standard jokes told by country printers on country newspapers—and several have threatened to give their paper to the next city reporter who makes the statement.

If anyone ever told him about the work that goes along with that farm and those cattle-plus the tough breaks that can and do occur—he either doesn’t hear it or doesn’t take it in. In a city newspaper there’s a pressman who walks around with an oil can. He keeps the presses oiled and running, and that’s all he does—a stated number of hours and no overtime. A linotype operator walks into the building in the morning, cuts on the switch to the machine, and there he sits and works until the ibell announces “quittin’ time.” Another man does nothing, but make-up; a reporter probably doesn’t know which end of the press is up; and many another man, with some specific job, has no idea of the process of. the printing. The country printer is a combination of city-editor, reporter, " advertising copy writer, linotype operator, make-up man, pressman machinist, and janitor!

T Newspaper Personnel Changes Little The personnel at Rappahannock News has changed little in the first two years of the newspaper’s short .life. Two of the original four are out of the county; two workers since have gone to other work in tne county; two new workers) have just started getting mixed up in printer’s ink; and two of the original four are still alive and kicKing on Idle job. The original four, who put out Volume l, iNO. 1 of Rappahannock News, back in November, J.SM9, were Bruce Bowie, Lucy Catherine Bowie, John M. (jack) Barber, Jr. and lVixss Pnyllis Verner. Jack Barber answered the call of Uncle 'Sam into the Air 'Force in June, 1951, and Miss Phyllis Verner accepted a position at a nursing home in Dunn Loring in September, 1950. Mrs. Arthur Miller worked as news-nound in the place of Miss Verner for 13 months, from August, i960, to September, 1951, when sbe left to run a business of “her own, the Opportunity Shop, in Washington. R. L. (Bobby) Massie, Jr., worked as printer’s devil during the summer of 1951, after Jack Barber went into the air force. The opening of school gave Bobby a chance to get the ink out from under his fingernails when he left the print shop to enter the junior class at Rappahannock High School. Mrs. Dick Miller now presides over the typewriter and babysits the telephone. She’s the newsgatherer in the office, and if the fancy term is required, she’ll answer to the tag of “society editor.” The new printer’s devil is Miss Louise Cloud, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Cloud, and a graduate of Rappahannock High School of last session. Like printer’s devils, she is learning all the machinery, and getting her share of teasing. She’s sweating over the linotype and shows excellent progress. She is learning what Jack Barber meant when he used to say, “I’ve got trials, troubles, and tributaries!” Lucy Catherine Bowie and ' Bruce Bowie, the sister-brother combination, are still on the job. Their sister, Miss A. Burma Bowie, does the bookkeeping. Honorary member of the staff F at the News office and shop is Mr. Willie Compton, who brings the mail twice daily and wa&hes the work in progress Mr. Compton, a retired printer, began his career as printer's devil in 18-78 in Rappahannock, working ‘on the Blue Ridge Echo, published by the late Judge W. W. Moffett, 'Father of Mrs. J. Frank Jones, and Commonwealth Attorney H. u. Moffett, grandfather of W. F. Moffett, Jr. Mr. Willie set type on *the Congressional Record in 1886, and in 1887 located in New Jersey •where he worked for various newspapers until his retirement in 1830. He wears his 50-year printer’s button and is a consolation to other printers when they make mistakes. He readily admits, that though he had. many years' experience, there is much he does not know about printing. --- Council (Continued from page 3) twenty yearsthereafter, was Baldwin Bradford Baggarly, son of David Clark Baggarly and Catherine Russell Bradford, both of Fauquier county. Mr. Baggarly for several years attended the Halowell Institute in Alexandria, where he graduated in surveying, which he pursued for only a short time, having thereafter engaged in the wholesale feed business in Warrenton, under the partnership of Baggarly and Sedwick, until the war between the states. He joined the Black Horse Cavalry, of Fauquier and was a soldier in the Confederate States Cavalry from the first Battle of Manassas until the close of the war. Having returned to his home in Fauquier and later to Warrenton, and later still to Washington. Mr. Baggarly, on June 11, 1867 married Emma Jane Moore, daughter of George Moore and Ann Singleton of “‘Springdale” Fauquier county. There were^ four children, two girls, who died’in infancy and two boys, Dr. Carroll Moore Baggarly, who died a young man while practicing surgery in Richmond, and F. Clyde Baggarly, the youngest son and child, now resides with his wife in the old homestead “Avon Hall” in Washington. -W Do not be breakin’ a shin op a stool that’s not in your way.

Early American Heritage These bedroom furniture pieces take their name from—Dorothy ROj1 inson ... a very real person, who today represents the fifth generation of her family . . . and it is in the old Robinson Family home which dates back to 1838 that we “discovered" some original antiques' to give us the inspiration for creating the reproductions pictured herewith. Not all “old” furniture is worthy of reproduction and the same is true of some so-called colonial antiques—but once in a long time we come upon a “gem" piece—so delicate in proportion and style as to literally label itself a masterpiece—and that is what we discovered in the old family home—a spool bed and dresser, more than 150 years old probably, but perfect in that kind of perfection you can see at a glance. So we copied these pieces and from them created the necessary companion pieces to make the Dorothy Robinkon Group; authentic to the last detail, even to tim solM mshOgany'used thrOughfitir’ and the Colonial design that is our Early American Heritage. A smooth hand-rubbed satin finish brings out and protects the beautiful solid mahogany. The inner construction is of the highest standards with smooth working drawers and dust proof partitions between all drawers. Remember, too, it is the easiest furniture to fit in to your decorative scheme that you can buy. We have sketched herein several combinations in ioom settings to show how adaptable the pieces of the Dorothy Robinson Series are to any size or type of room arrangement. You will note the choice of three beds which are available in either twin or double size. Of course, the handsome double dresser is a feature piece in any bedroom, but there is also a single dresser with a choice of-mirrors and a very attractive and appealing vanity with its typical Colonial' mirror and standards Every room needs one chest or a pair, and the simple lines of both the six and seven drawer chests, with of without portable mirror standards, affofd the choice of most any effective combination desired.

Pictured (right) at the desk in the office is Miss Burma Bowie, bookkeeper. On the wall'of the office hangs a picture of the honorary member of the paper’s staff, Mr. W. E. Compton, retired printer and ex-Mayor of Washington. Other pictures are of two men who have proved to be eery good friends of the paper, Charles Wood Keyser and Rep. Burr P. Harrison. Another picture shows the three printers who started the paper in 1949, L. C. Bowie, Bruce Bowie, and Jack Barber, standing in front of the building on the corner in Washington, where the first issue was printed. * Walrus, _ (Continued from page 2) where along the line (exactly where and when is difficult to determine) the paper has acquired: a few gray hairs, several extra wrinkles in the face, a shortly temper, longer hours of work than Were thought possible, plenty of headaches (of varied and sundry aspects), and so many good friends that ail the foregoing named fade into relative unimportance. If asked how we feel about our first two years of the newspaper in the couhty, we would be in’ clined to answer as a teacher once said about teaching a one-room school: “I wouldn’t take a million dollars for having done it, and I wouldn’t do it again for another million!” o o o There is no chance of a printer ever becoming *‘smarty” about his job. He may become an expert in one small part of the process of printing, but he’ll never reach the point where he knows it all. Mr. Willie Compton will verify that statement. Although he has retired with over 50 years of printing, he’ll tell you there is plenty he doesn’t know about the trade. With Johannes Gutenburg beginning the process of printing with movable type back in the fifteenth century, any printer beginning today has over 400 years to catch up in learning before he really gets started. As if that were not enough, someone has come up with the news now that the Koreans had printing from movable type 47 years before Mr. Gutenburg published his Bible in Germany. It’s surprising the Russians didn’t claim it. f o o o In celebrating the second birthday, the paper staff is enjoying the’ privilege of an honoree at a birthday party. We’ve stuck ourselves as the center of attention and^lapped up the fuss and party trimmings.

'■■■ © On a day in April, 247 years ago a man in Boston printed a little newspaper, called the Boston News-Letter. It was issued once a week. Scholars usually refer to the Boston News-Letter as Hie first newspaper to be published in the later-to-be United States. Something called a newspaper had ' been printed 14 years earlier by Benjamin Harris,)but it was suppressed by the Boston government after the first issue, and it is hard to call anything a newspaper unless it appears at least a few times. According to Ramon Coffman, who studies these things, the first newspaper in what was later the l United States, was published by John Campbell. He was postmaster at Boston. The position sounded high but the pay was low, and, being a Scot, he probably thought he could make a better living if he published a newspaper on the side. He kept his place as postmaster and gathered his news by talking with people who brought letters to mail or came to receive letters. Things went pretty well with the (first newspaper and John Campbell gave up hiji job as postmaster to devote himself to his paper. The new postmaster was one William Brooker, and you know what he did : he started the second newspaper, The Boston Gazette, dated December 21, 1719, just 14 years after Mr. Campbell had started his paper. As might be expected, Mr. Campbell failed to greet the rival paper with pleasure. He made some uncomplimentary remarks, in fact. One of them read something like this: “Its sheets smell stronger of beer than of midnight oil.” To the present day, there is a wealth of information in that sentence. Printers burned midnight oil in those days, too; they did not greet their rivals kindly; and they were given to colorful language if the occasion demanded it. , o ■ o o About the same time that the second paper appeared in Boston —with a date only one day later —a Philadelphia man, Andrew Bradford, started the American Weekly Mercury. He was the Philadelphia postmaster. In November, 1949, a brother and sister started a paper in a county in Virginia. Their greatgrandmother was named Sophia Bradford. <She married a man named Newton Bowie. o o o Jackie Barber, formerly printer at Rappahannock News but at present on Uncle Yarn’s pay-roll, got himself written up by a fellow in the Air Force. It was of interest to his fellow printers, back here in Virginia, that Jack still classes himself proudly as one trained by Raleigh T. Green at Printers—and many who did not stick to the trade of ink and grease—saw a period of tutoring under the eccentric and gentle touch of “The Old Man,” as he was called by his family and those who worked for him. Raleigh Travers Green, late publisher of the 71-year-old Culpeper Exponent, began many a boy on the mysieries of printing. (Since Jack Barber has so proudly claimed Mr. Green as his sire in the printing trade, it has been brought to light that many of the publishers and printers of northern Virginia began their training in the old Exponent building at Culpeper. James W. Green, publisher of The Orange Review, a relative of Raleigh T. Green, can toe listed as beginning his train* ” ing at the Exponent; Rufus G. Roberts, owner of The Virginia Star at Culpeper, worked for Mr. Green on the Exponent, and nearly all the force at The Virginia Star saw their early newspaper days under Mr. Green’s guidance: Mrs. B. G. Calfee, Claude W. Inskeep, L. H. McAllister, and Douglas Grady. The publisher of Rappahannock News was chided constantly by her brother, Bruce Bowie, and by Jack Barber because she had not been “started off right” by being trained at The Exponent. They both announced that they were superior because of this training. Finally, the publisher went to the Exponent and asked them to let her work there for a week, just so -she could boast of it. It did no good. Despite the week's work , within the walls of the old paper office and shop, the printers declared that without the fine hand of “The Old Man,” the training was not authentic and,, therefore, valueless. From the print shop of The Culpeper Exponent have gone the future owners of print shops in Washington, D.C., and several of the city dailies have workmen who received their training under Mr. Green. - ■■ ._ The Exponent, one of tl\e older weeklies in the state, is now published by Raleigh TV Green’s son and daughter, John Buckner Green and Mrs. Erskine Strother (Anne Green). Their mother was the former Miss Lucille Dove, of Rappahannock. -- County News Notes 'Miss Barbara Brown, who has A position with the School Board in Arlington, spent the week end at her home in Sperryville.

Newspaper Invites Plant Inspection Rappahannock News wishes to extend an invitation to anyone interested in seeing the machinery? to visit the plant in Washington and observe the process of printing a paper. Special invitations are extended to school, classes to visit the printing plant. It is requested that they set a special time to visit. If the printers know when the classes are coming for a visit, they can try to have different pieces of machinery at work for the school children to see. Machinery used in printing the weekly newspaper is at work on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday with more machinery running on Wednesday than any other day. Job-printing work is in progress on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, so a different set of machinery is in operation on these days. Visiters are welcome at the newspaper office at all times. .. -CLArmistice Day Services At Amissville Baptist At the regular morning service, November 11 a special Armistice Day Memorial service will be held.

There are good schools for my kids and we have nice churches and I make good money. If we want to, we folks can keep a cow, and raise our own hogs.” Lunch was served, courtesy Mississippi County Farm Bureau. An odd thing about this large county is ’ that it has two governing bodies (county commissioners fchey’re called instead of supervisors) and two county agents.

RACER TACKLES ORCHID-RAISING • Mrs. H. J. Racer of Washington has been sent an orchid plant by her daughter, Mrs. D. T. Gardiner, of Palm Beach, Florida, along with instructions on raising the delicate plant. The question is often asked if orchids can be grown in the home and Mrs. Racer is tackling the job to see if it can be done. The plant, which she received by' air express, is six years old and, as stated by the sender, Mrs. Gardiner, is supposed to bldom next month. Instructions say it should be placed in a south or east window for plenty of sunshine, and it must be kept warm. It only requires water even ten days. At present the plant has two buds, and each bud should produce two or three orchids.. This early in the game, Mrs. Racer is making no promises on the outcome of her orchid-raising project, nor will she give any estimates on how long one must wait for an orchid corsage for a special occasion Mis* Mary K.

A Musical Program and Mixer sponsored by the Standard Oil Company was held from 7 to 9 o'clock at which the leader and orchestra displayed goed versatility in stunts and music by playing numerous state songs during which the respective agents stood and sang. The singing wasn’t so hot but, believe me, the spirit was there. The International Harvester Co. was host at breakfast Monday at 6:45 and was followed by a tour Of the I-H plant where we saw tractors, holers, and cotton pick-1 ers being molded and assembled. At 10 the convention was officially opened by President Edwin Bay of Springfield, 111., who was followed by address of welcome by Mayor Aatkins Overton of Memphis and Robert W. Moore, vice director of Extension Service, University of Tennessee College of Agriculture. Reports of national committeemen follow until recess for lunch. The afternoon was devoted to regional meetings during which final association political issues 'of the association were ironed out. Believe you me, various states had some county agents who were really high-powered Hoss Traders * but Virginia came out pretty well considering her period of activity in getting L. B. Wilkins, county agent of Norfolk, elected director for a two-year term to the National Board of Directors, representing the southern region which includes Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Arkansas, and states thereof. Also, we*>with cohorts of the solid south, were unsuccessful in getting the convention rotated equally among the regions instead of its being held every even year at Chicago. This work was started last year with an ultimate goal of bringing the convention to Virginia in 1955. The evening program consisted of “A Good Ole-Fashioned Barbecue” by the boys from Texas and Sears Roebuck Foundation, at which 1300 Were served in 30 minutes. The prime beef from Texas was superb and was brought up by check wagon preceeded by the head chef in a yellow 1951-Cadillac convertible. We were greeted by Texas agents exhibiting tengallon-hat-sized hamburgers, containing four pounds of prime beef each. Nobody got sick. The barbecue was followed by a floor show and dancing at the Casino buliding at the Memphis Fair Grounds. > On Tuesday, the Firestone Tire and Rubber Co. came forth with a nice breakfast and talk by Mr. Firestone himself, which was followed on Wednesday afternoon with a tour of their Memphis plant, the largest in the world, 37 acres under one roof! Here we saw all sizes of auto, truck, and tractor tires and innertubes being made from beginning to end. Incidentally, their weekly pay-rool wasJ better than a third of a million bucks; kinder nice to have that much money around any city, eh? The business meeting of the association started with an address on “The Co-operative Extension Service” by Aubrey Gates, Arkansas dierctor of extension service, who received atomic applause from the county agents. Dr. Crates is also chairman of committee on organization and policy of the Land* Grant College Association. His principal point and charge was that the U.S. Agricultural Department operates beyond its legal assignment^ in that it is beginning to operate a hand-medown federal extension program instead of one formulated by the people of each state according to their individual needs and wants! The remainder of the day was devoted to outstanding talks directed at professional improvement, too numerouse to mention. Actually, it was not only my first NACAA convention, but the first of any fort that all the speakers were good or better! The inspiration from these talks, as well as that garnered from the comparatively few county agents (considering the large number present) which time allowed conversational contact individually was wonderful. The convention banquet was held at the Peabody Hotel that evening and was immediately fol lowed by each state distributing representative agriculture products. Virginia agents distributed Luckies, tobacco from the Larus Tobacco Co. in Richmond, canned apple products from National Fruit, And apple juice (which really went over big) from the Blue Ridge Fruit Growers Association. The Virginia Bankers Association furnished fairy stone goodluck charms to the ladies. The 1 only place in the world where these stones are found is in Ole Virginny. * Florida served cold fresh orange juice; Iowa, pop-corn; Oregon, canned black berries; Michigan, cherries; etc. Tl^e good habit of large firms serving breakfast continued Wednesday with an excellent meal at the courtesy of Julius Hyman & Co. and the Shell Chemical Corp. Business meetings followed immediately -with additional committee renorts until th*> tour of the -- Firestone plant already mentioned. The convention was concluded with a banquet at the King Cotton Hotel, courtesy of Dearborn Motors. President Thomas A. Ferrell was host and introduced toastmaster Sherman Hoar, president-elect of NACAA, from Sterling, Colo. Dr. George S. Benson, president of Harding college, Searey, Ark., held his audience spellbound with his talk on citizenship and service —a grand finale to a'grand con- " ventionl Thanks, ever so much.

News Marks Anniversary With this issue, Rappahannock News is two years old. The first copy of the county newspaper was issued November 3, 1949. This week’s copy bears the marking of Volume III, No. 1. The years rush by more rapidly than can be imagined. It doesn’t seem possible that 104 issues of the paper have gone out through the county since that first copy told of the county’s fifth paper opening in Rappahannock. With a gap of 13 years after (Mr. George C. Cary ceased the publication of his Blue Ridget Guide, Rappahannock gave its own country paper a warm welcome. The printers at Rappahannock News have realized more and more during the past two years hotw much the people of Rappahannock wanted their own weekly paper. The support of the citizens of the county has proved that they felt the need for their own paper and wanted a place to put their county news and views. The two-year-old infant newspaper in the county is beginning to belong in the Rappahannock family. Like some sections of the county, the paper thinks RapIf'fjahariiiock is the most beautiful spot in the conutry. The baby-twoyear-old is quickly absorbing the firm knowledge that Rappahannock people are the finest in the world, and that there’s no other place worth living! ' Like all other infants learning to walk, the first two years have produced a few bumps and falls, but the young business is learning, as every infant must, and it shows promise of being a strong child and growing properly. , Mr. and Mr*/Frank Guinn of Washington, D.C., were week-end gueets of Mrs. Guinn’s mother Mrs. Inea Bruce. ...»■— 1 f" .... - ■—.... ■' FIRE AUXILIARY PLANS AMISSV1LLE BAKE SALE The Rappahannock Fire Company's Ladies Auxiliary, in meeting Monday night, planned a bake sale to be given by the ladies in Amissville.

Along with his pride of ownership, Newbill reported that he arrived home with a flat pocket book, but the looks of those two black calves put enough joy in him to compensate for his lack of suf ficient financial to even refer to it as a status. The world had a rosy glow that beautiful evening. Newbill rode home in the truck with those two black animals not trusting them to the driver alone-and he put the calves in the barn. He spent the evening teasing himself about not having any money left and how his life’s savings was walking around the barn on eight hoofs. Juife had a rosy tinge when he took himself to bed that night. On the following morning, Newbill’s world collapsed. On arrival at the barn to feed his “hunks of gold on hoof”, they were gone! Not a sign of them, hieh nor low! pis father, Dick Miller, wanted Newbill to go to school and he would look for the calves and inform Newbill of the outcome. Mother, however, realized that NewbilPs mind would be far from concentrating on “book learning’ that maoming and she begged of f for him. Before the morning was too old, Mr. Miller and Newbill located the precious investment - one calf on the Browning place and the other on W. C. Campbell’s land. Right now, Newbill still shivers when he thinks of those calves out on the highway at night! He can niiimiiiMmtiiiiiiimiMiiiiiMaiMiitiiHiiiiiiiiiHiiiMiiiMMtii tell the story with a fairly calm voice by this time . and he might even joke about it a, little, but on that morning when he faced an empty barn it was nd joking matter!

DISTRIBUTOR Atlantic Refining Company _ CULPEPER, VA. “Jack” Likes His Weekly MOUNTAIN HOME AIR FORCE BASE, IDAHO Most young men of this atomic age scurry off to big cities for fame and fortune, but Pfc. John .M. Barber, Jr. says printing in a smalltown weekly newspaper shop is his way of life. The Culpeper, Virginia, airman doesn’t go for modern printing ways either. He loVes the country shop, with its flatbed presses and handset type. Jack says he’d be content to settle in the foothills of Virginia in some country weekly shop and dabble in his chosen profession, forgetting the hurry-scurry of neon lights^ subways, and world turmoil. Jack left his “way of life” in June when Uncle Sam crooked a finger at him. However,* the 24year-old Virginian has “peace of mind” once again in the U.* S. Air Force. He will continue his “way of life” with the 5Slst Air Resupply and Communications Wing here. He has been assigned to the 581st Reproduction Squardon. With ten years experience as a printer, Jack was classified a senior pressman after completing basic training at Sampson AFB, N«w York. He began his trade in 1941 when he became a printer’s devil for the Culpeper Exponent, under the supervision of Raleigh T. Green. In 1343, hie went to work for The Virginia Star in Culpeper. While on these jobs he did everything from cleaning press rollers to cutting stock. ‘ Jack helped print Vol. 1, No. 1 of the Rappahannock News in November, 1949, where he worked, until entering the Air (Force. “Printing is what you make it,” Jack says. “I don’t think I could be away from it very long. As a printer, I’m peaceful and happy; I have no one to bother me.” His ambition is to own a weekly shop and “keep ink on my fingers all the time.” Jack is the son of Mr. and Mrs. John M. Barber of West Culpeper. He attended Culpeper High School and is a member of Hie Culpeper Municipal Band. He plays the bass drum. Around 581st ARC Wing headquarters, Jack is known for his ingenuity. He builds office equipment and does details far after duty hours. His generosity spills on everyone. Airmen in the wing have reported that Jack often shines their shoes merely to prove that he likes people as much as he says. Recently a wing captain wrote Jack’s commanding officer a personal letter and commended Jack for his “industrious efforts” and hard work in the Wing. When Jack came to Mountain Home, he could hardly wait to visit the Mountain Home News, a weekly. Scarcely a week passed before he had put on his printer’s apron, rolled up his GI sleeves and was running the News press. Bob Cooley, News owner and editor, reports that Jack came in one night and asked if he could go to work—without pay. He told Editor Cooley that he was just “itching” to get back to printing. Now he works at the News in his spare! time—without compensation. His list of hobbies is naturally headed by printing but he likes gardening, woodwork, and flowers. And Of course he likes pipes, since he’s never seen without one. He is a member of t&e Culpeper Methodist Church. EGISTERED BULL CALVES 7 Months Old Sired hy Eponian XV of Gilnockie C. R. WALTER Care of W. W. Walter AMISSVILLE, VA. Teenager# Need Professional Care, Too, You've heard that familiar expression “getting off on the right foot” and you know exactly what this means. In the instance of beauty, however, that saying might better be changed to “geting off on the right face.” This is particulaily so in the case of the teenage young lady. This good advice ‘comes to us from the professional beauty experts who are observing this week as National Beauty Salon Week in dedication to more beautiful women. It is extremely important that teenagers take care and pains with their youthful loveliness so that they can look forward to a future of continued beauty salon for professional advice and care is imperative. Here, they will learn the basics of beauty to remember all through life. Their first lesson will be cleanliness.; how to keep the skin healthy, youthful and attractive. They will see the value of using lots of soap and water; the complexion brush, . the astringent or cold water to close pores. Makeup will be taught so that it is skillfully applied for the most flattering and natural results to avoid that “painted” look. Well-caredfor-hands will be stressed, for, as with no other age range, the hands cause embarrassment. Because attractive hair is so vitally important to the teenagers fresh beauty, the professional Hair stylist will shampoo, shape and style the hair to highlight all its natural l oveliness. This will prove the need for daily brushing: and attention for permanent beauty. Above all, during her first beauty salon appointment, the teenager learns that good grooming gives the impression of charm and loveliness. . . a goal that can be attained every day of her life. iH To err is human; to forgive divine.

Virginia (Paint Law It has recently been brought to the attention of Virginia Division of •Chemistry that paint sprayers have been traveling through several of the counties offering to spray barns and barn roofs, in particular, with paint claimed to be of the highest quality but, in the opinion of some »t those who have had spraying done, to be very inferior. The paint which they are using will not dry properly and after a rain will wash off the roof onto the side of the building. The surface is put into such poor condition that the paint must be entirely removed before an acceptance job can be done with a reputable manufactuer’s product. These men travel in trucks bearing out-of-State license tags and, seemingly, cannot be located after they have once sprayed a building, collected for it, and left. It appears difficult to legally prosecute these men except under the Virginia Paint Law 1950 which provides that all paints sold in the State be registered with this Department and bear proper labels in order to avoid fraud and deception which would otherwise occur. It is not the purpose of the Law to grade paint but only to provide true labels for these containers. The officials of one county have notified their police officers to be on the lookout for these offenders and have stated they would be prosecuted if the facts presented a proped case. .With your aid and the co-operation of the law enforcement officers throughout Virginia this type of fraud and deception can be eliminated.

Compton, with the aid of County Clerk, James M. Settle, there have been five newspapers in the county. The first paper m the county had the same name taken by the present paper. It was Rappahannock News, published in Washington in the same building in which its namesake began publication in 1949. One record says it was published in 1877, but a letter of the late George E. Cary gives the date of 1870. The second county paper was The Blue Ridge Echo, published for a year, 1878, by Judge W. W. Moffett and Commonwealth Attorney H. G. Moffett. James M. Settle has found records in the clerk's office of official publications in The Call, but exact dates and identity of this county paper cannot be located. A belief has been expressed that this paper was published outside the county and brought in, rather than being a local printing plant. The Blue Ridge Guide, published from 1886 to 1936, was established by W. B. Settle, father of Slater Settle, and brother of the late George W. Settle. Mr. W. B. Settle returned to Rappahannock county from a law practice in a western state and was editor of The Blue Ridge Guide until his death. In 1889, the late George Edward Cary, father of Edward B. (“Jake”) Cary of Washington, acquired ownership of The Blue the Ridge Guide end published paper for 47 years. For nearly 13 years there was bo paper published in the county until the establishing of Rappahannock News in 1949. BUTCHERING AND MEAT-CURING SUPPLIES 4 lbs. Morton's* Tender Quick.$ -9S 7 Vs lbs.

Two Yean In County Sees Some History When the first edition of Rappahannock News came off the press ih November 1949, the county was present and accounted for. It still is. Little record-making items have appeared for print—but nothing remains exactly the same so some history is recorded. Eight months after the newspaper got itself settled, the county seat of Rappahannock got itself spread throughout magazines and city newspapers with the election of a lady mayor and all-lady town council. Much fanfare and to-do accompanied the ceremonies of putting the ladies in office. As with anything that is much discussed, there were a few harsh words spoken and a few people thought the whole affair was disgusting. A year and a half later, now, the results of the ladies' work is obvious. The clean-up program shows definate improvement in the village’s appearance. There have been three autums of good apple crops since the paper came to the county. The columns of the county News have carried stories of prize cattle raised on the pastures. A special promotion on improving pasture land in the county was sponsored by the Agriculture Extension Service, under County Agent H. Lyne’s supervision. Recently conservation was stressed, showing results in LI B. Henretty’s program on soil conservation in Rappahannock. The first paper two years ago carried the news of Washington High 'School and Sperryville High School. Through the long and harsh struggle of consolidation, the newspaper has carried the history-making news items of the birth of Rappahannock County High School, one high school for the entire county, with elementary and primary schools at other points in the county. --rfFlint Hill W.S.C.Sr Meets with Mrs. Lillard The W.S.C.S. of Flint Hill Methodist church met Thursday evening, October 25, at the home of Mrs. Carson Lillard.
