Rappahannock News, November 22, 1951

WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1951 VOL. 3—NUMBER 3 Dental Corrections Made At County Clinic A report of the Rappahannock County Dental Clink, from Sep-i tember 10 to November 10, shows 548 corrections made on teeth of county school children, with an additional 252 sodium flouride treatments. i Estimating the average trip to the dentist as costing $2, the average flouride treatment at $8, the expenses incurred with the state dental clinic represented a saving to county parents of $1560. These figures were estimated aa 548 corrections at $2 each would be $1006; 252 flouride treatments at $8 would be $2016;. totaling $5112 as total cost for the children’s dental corrections, plus the fact that transportation would have to be furnished to and form' the dentist office. The state dental clinic was set upf Jin a trailer at SperrytfiRte* school with Dr. Pell in chargeivThe cost of dental corrections was ents each for 548 correct; ns, $274; the 4 flouride treatments were $1.50 each for 252 children, $378. This, with the county donation of $000, is $1552 and when compared with the $3112 estimated for regular dental wc»rk, it shows a saving of $1560 for fixing the teeth of the children' of the county.

Johnson Jr., reports Shen Valley Meat Packers, Inc., as having its best month since operations began- 'During October making a fairly nice profit. Ned also reports that last week the plant slaughtered 207 cattle, 1140 hogs and 84 sheep, lambs and veals. A pretty good week's work if you calculate the cost of livestock handled and the fact that November 12th was a holiday. BIRTHDAY PARTY Mrs. James J.

Those present were Jo Ann Fox, -Gloria Durden, Bill Durden, Bonnie Kay Durden, Mika Brown, Caroline Brown, Busan Schaefer, Buddy Broyles, Bill Anderson, Jackie Broom, Joe Brown and Nancy Brown. Games were played and refreshments were served by Mrs. Wayland. jg|. immJM: Thanksgiving The good old American feast is here. Strictly our own American heritage, we like to think of Thanksgiving as a representation of our nation: a home gathering of the family, to attend church services in the morning and give thanks to God for the blessings of our land, and to over-eat at the family dinner table. The history of Thanksgiving becomes more charming as the years roll by and story-tellers gather new facts about which to weave a tale. Most of us are inclined to think that fiction aids fact in making a god story, but some of the facts are true, if slightly glamorized by time and telling. While Mother i s wondering whether the turkey will be sufficient for tomorrow’s hash, and the company is sitting about, stupidly stuffed with too much turkey-andall-the-fixin’s, a few thoughts drift by about the Pilgrims at that first Thanksgiving dinner. Just *to start with, they had 90 unexpected guests. They had planned a small feast to celebrate their first harvest and to give thanks that their little community (See THANKSGIVING, page8) 'Music Festival Plans 2nd Annual Summer The election of executive of* fleers and the formulation of concert plans for the second annual Blue Ridge Music Festival were highlights of the Festival Association's November meeting which; has just been held in Washington, Virginia. ’Chief interest at the meeting was centered on the nominations of Board Members from six Virginia counties and five Old Dominion cities.

Cole of Orange was appointed Acting Secretary for this November meeting. Guest speaker for this special Blue Ridge Music Festival Association meeting was Conductor William Haaker, who journeyed I from state capitol to present the seasonal plans for this second annual festival. Conductor Haaker stressed the importance of the summer music series to the people of the surrounding counties and cited the work of the Virginia Orchestra in bringing good music to the state’s outlying areas. This year marks the third annual tour of the state symphony and will extend from April 5 through May 20. Haaker spoke at the festival meeting just prior to his embarkation on a .piano recital tour that will take him to Georgia, Mississippi and throughout the state of Texas. Present plans for the 1962 summer concert series includes a full month of Sunday programs featuring outstanding artists and offering listeners the full tonal effects of * master symphony orchestra under the baton of Will, iam Haaker Officers elected at the November meeting will assume their full duties immediately and are presently working out details of landscaping and construction which wffl expand the present festival site at Avon Mills on U. 8.

Lyne, Back about eighteen months to two years ago a skeleton Civilian Defense organization was set up in 'Rappahannock^ county. At the time, and once or twice since, some publicity regarding this organization was carried in our paper. However, of late Apparently a number of citizens seem to have forgotten about its why and wheTefors or else never heard of such, or don’t give a continental - - - -. Naturally the Rappahannock organization will never be called upon to function comparatively with that of Warren, Fairfax, or Arlington counties, nevertheless ours is a definite link necessary in having smooth and effective functioning on a state or national basis even if we are outside any particular potential target area or located “up a mountain hollow” to quote a local person. Here are those who have consented or have asked to serve: Chief Emergency Police Service—J. W. Critzer, Washington. Chief Emergency Medical Service, Dr. W. R. Johnson, Washington.

Chief Emergency Fire Service, L. V. Merritt,Their jobs in the event of an emergency are generally indicated by their titles. Actually those who are expected to be the most active an# of greatest immediate importance are the sapervisoas and observers of our four aircraft observation posts.

Rappahannock News Published Thursday Morning at Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia Dial Wmhington 2851 LUCY CATHERINE BOWIE Publisher Entered as second-class mail matter at the post office at Washington, Virginia. Subscription;-$2.00 a year The Lady’s Done It Again Her Honor, the Mayor of Washington, Mrs. Davis, has got herself into public print, the public eye, and the public ear, again. She’s gonna bake a cherry pie, billy-boy. _ ■She surely let a golden opportunity slip by when she said “cherry pie.” Why didn’t she offer to bake the President an apple pie _made from the best apples in the world, Rappahanonck apples-— and give the President a real pie worth eating? President Truman probably has never had the privilege of eating a real apple pie, made of real Rappahannock apples, and he should be given the honor. With the story going over the 11 o’clock news radio report at Height, it would have carried the name of Rappahannock apples over the 48 states. Publicity like that can’t be bought, and it would have been a good chance to help sell Rappahannock apples and spread their fame. Perhaps next time Her Honor, the Mayor, will remember to turn some of her publicity toward the county's products and help the local business man. There’s something about that cherry pie story that isn’t all out in the story. Where everything seemed to be in fun "with the tale as told in Monday’s city papers; back on Friday the Harrisonburg paper carried a story saying that Fredericksburg’s ire was raised by the President and the challenge for him to throw the dime across the Rappahannock had an “eat your words” note. The story told on Friday was: (From Fredericksburg) President"^ ruman was invited today (November 15) to eat a cherry pie—or his words—by the city of Fredericksburg. He also may be able to get a Tide bade up the road to Washington (D.C.) in a plush-lined wheelbarrow if he wants it. These odd invitations cropped up because Mr. Truman last week touched on a matter closely kin to Fredericksburg’s history: Geo. Washington’s heave of a dollar across the Rappahannock river. Mr. Truman told the national cartoonist society he didn’t think the first President’s toss was such a feat when you look how narrow the Rappahannock is near the spot where Washington lived- Besides, the President added, it was not a dollar Washington threw, it was a Spanish piece of eight. (Pairson Weems, chronicler of Washington legends, including the cherry tree chopping, said it was not a dollar, a Spanish piece of eight, nor even a dime that Washington threw. The Parson said it was a small stone.) In fact, said Mr. Truman, any KNyeai^old boy could throw a dime across the river at that point. That last was what got the city fathers.

(Mr. Truman is 67 ) The site: Ferry farm where Washington spent his boyhood. The stakes: a big cherry pie says the President cant do it. The mayor thinks his bet is safe —even if the president accepts— because his telegram went on to say: 'After yon first failed to emu* late the first Preeident of Ihe United States—-in this deed at least—we will bo honored to have you attend our annual George Washington birthday banquet that evening to hear anything further you have to say on that or any other subject.' The Fredericksburg daily newspaper (Free Lance-Star) added the other part of the challenge. It said editorially its editor would ‘trundle you from here to Washington in a plush-lined (wheelbarrow* if the Preeident could throw the dime across the Rappahannock. -- (Farm Scrap Metal Needed For Defense There's money lying around Rappahannock County - money in the form of scrap metal. It may pay farmers to round up some of this scrap, according to H. S. Barksdale, Chairman of the County Agricultural Mobilization Committee. The financial returns are not large, he says, but prices now being paid are higher than during World War II, and it's better to get some cash return than to let machinery rust away. Collecting scrap iron and steel these days is not only the thrifty thing to do - it’s patriotic to “Join the Scrap Harvest.’’ The Scrap Drive is spearheaded by the County AM Committee and extends from October 15 to November lb. Its purpose is to help assure an adequate flow of iron and steel scrap tb the steel industry, especially for the manufacture of ships, planes, guns, and various items of farm machinery. Farmers can sell their scrap through the usual channels-their local scrap or junk dealers. Prices paid are in accordance with the the type of scrap metal offered. All kinds of scrap is needed - old farm equipment, water tanks and tank towers worn out storage batteries, plough points and shares. The Secretary of Agriculture is expecting farmers to supply a substantial portion of the tonnage^ of scrap needed to maintain the production of essential items at the required levels. Mr. Barksdale said that the allotment of steel for the manufacture of farm machinery and equipment may be determined somewhat -by the extent to which farmers contribute their scrap in this campaign. If a farmer does not ’know the name of his local dealers, he can consult the local PMA Office. Mrs. Pat Carrigan and son, Dan spent Sunday with Mrs. John R.

After losing a cow during last year’s hunting season, the fanner this year bought large placards and labeled his animals “C-O-W.” o o o The election the first of the month gave a lot of pleasant conversation in the county—as is the way with most elections.

Yours truly, Soil Tost Advised A few cents spent now for a soil test could mean a saving of several dollars for Virginia farmers when they buy next year's fertilisers. W. H. Lyne, county agent, says if a farmer knows well in advance just what plant nutrients are needed, he can make his fertiliser purchases accordingly. -Money spent for any particular plant food is wasted if the field already has enough. The point is, he ssys, a fertiliser dollar goes further if it is spent for exactly what a field needs. Early testing is particularly beneficial in cases where lime is needed, since lime should be applied as much as six months in advance of seeding of certain crops. Hunting Season Opens Virginia’s 1951 hunting season went into full swing on November 20, when the wraps came off statewide on deer, bear, turkey, •quail, grouse, rabbits, and squirrels. According to I. T. Quinn, executive director of the Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries, the average hunter’s chances of returning home with something in the game bag are excellent this; year. testing conditions for state’s upland game birds ran from fair to good through th nesting season, with the res that more quail coveys should before the nimrod’s guns this y The turkey populations are fai They are reportedly up west of th Blue Ridge, but only holding thei own in the east. Deer prospects look good throughout Virginia. They abound in highest numbers from Central Piedmont to the Tidewater. The Game Commission is making a special plea to the hunters tills year to be careful with fire when they are in the woods and fields. Carelessness with matches or cigarette butts can ruin the hunting prospects for years to come. -WUse the NEWS Clvssited Ads Pitts’ Culpeper Theatres Pitts' Theatre Shows Daily at 7<1S and 9:00 Matiaees: Tuesday, Thursday at 3:30; Saturday, 2:00 Adults 29c plus 6c tax—35 c Children 13c plus 3c tax—16c THURSDAY, NOV. 22 JOHN PAYNE ARLEEN WHALEN 2 DENNIS O’KEEFE —in— “Passage West” (Color by Technicolor) Cartoon • Novelty PRI. - SAT., NOV. 23 - 24 ERROL FLYNN 'T^‘ • ..T.r?c; 77 ~T~jC" A —in— “Adventure* Of Captain Fabian" Mysterious Island, Episode 9 SUNDAY - MONDAY, NOVEMBER 25 - 26 ESTHER WILLIAMS — RED SKELTON in “TEXAS CARNIVAL” Color by Technicolor — 2 Shows: 3 p.m - 9 p.m. TUESDAY, NOY. 27 KEEFE BRASSELLE SALLY FORREST LIONEL BARRYMORE “BANNERLINE” Cartoon • Novelty WED. .

In some counties where hunting of deer and bear is not permitted, but turkey hunting is legal, stations ■will be established where the hunters will be able to cheek their featured prises. Checking stations will be distributed throughout every county having open season on bear, deer, and turkeys, at strategic and convenient locations, such as crossroads, filling stations, and stores.

Main Street CULPEPER DIAL S312 • For Appointment Mayoress Offers To Bake President A Cherry Pie President Truman wont have to worry about baking his own cherry pie -should he be unable to hurl a dime across the Rappahannock River. The pretty lady Mayor of this Blue Ridge Mountain town offered today to bake the pie herself. As yet, the President hasn’t ac- ' cepted the challenge of Mayoij C. M. Cowan, of Fredericksburg, who Thursday invited Mr. Truman to try his southpaw slants on the river across which, tradition say3, George Washington once tossed a silver dollar. Cowan said he’d wager the President a cherry pie he couldn’t get s dime across to the other bank. Should Mr. Truman lose, Mayor. Dorothy Davis, of Washington, said she’d handle the culinary chore. She telegraphed the President: ■I will bake the cherry pie if you forfeit to Mayor Cowan, since I doubt it possible to make a dime go as far now as a dollar in the eighteenth century." The above story appeared in a Richmond paper on Monday, following the announcement of the story over a nation-wide radio hook-up on news reports Sunday night and Monday morning. Mrs. Davis, Washington’s ladymayor, states that the origin of the story begins with Mayor Cowan of Fredericksburg. Mayor.. Cowan has enjoyed teasing the Lady Mayor, asking her if she really can cook, and remarking on the width of the Rappahannock River up in her native county as compared with the mighty Rappahannock at his city of Fredericksburg. When Mayor Davis heard that Mayor Cowan had wagered the President couldn’t throw a dollar across the Rappahannock, Mrs. Davis thought it was time she got back at Mayor Cowan for some of his teasing. She volunteered to cook the pip for the President and told Mayor Cowan she would prove that she really : could cook. ■ As the story turned out, following the telegram to the President, it gave the appearance she might be hitting at the administration’s "spending, but that was not the original beginning of the story at all, and was beyond any meaning of hers, the Mayor says. rrs hawg killin' TIME 71/* ibc.

The deer ran directly beside the. engine cab for almost a mile, confined to the right-of-way by a wire fence. The speedometer on the engine recorded forty miles per hour, probably a newly established speed record for white-tailed deer. Thousands of miles of right-of* way for power and telephone lines, forming a network over .America, could be developed into excellent wildlife habitat with mutual benefits to game, sports men, and the utility corporations, according to the Wildlife Management Institute. Utilities could retard the growth of undesirable brush and trees by sowing Lespedeza sericea and other species that choke out brush and form an excellent cover for quail, pheasants, rabbits, and other wildlife. Hunting season is now here and so is fall fire season. When you are out in the woods this fall hunting for game, be sure your cigarette or other lighted tobacco is out before discarding it, break your match after extinguishing it, and be careful when smoking in the woods.

ENTERS SERVICE Franklin “BUI” Dodaon left Tuesday to enter tke Armed Ser. rices. - f ■ 4t f : Thanksgiving (Continued from page 1)" had survived hard times. Months of privation had taken their toll. There had been many deaths, but now they saw hope ahead. Full of good will, they asked Massasoit, a friendly Indian, and his family to attend the feast. Massasoit showed up with 90 braves. There were twice as many Indians as Pilgrims. But the Indians had 'brought along five deer, which were a big help. It took them a week to get ready and when they started, they feasted for three days. There were only five mature,women and a few girls to do the cooking. The men went hunting. Governor William Bradford and four men killed as many wild turkeys as possible. Two fishermen came in with eels, clams, and oysters. The youngsters picked wild cranberries, cherries, and grapesMost of the cooking was done in the Open. The birds were roasted on spits, the sea food on coals. The first Thanksgiving pie was made when the women cooked some of their dried fruits in dough cases. They had wine which they had made from wild grapes, and beer. A shortage of beer had been an important reason for their settling in what is now Massachusetts instead of Virginia where they had intended to go. One Pilgrim journal explains—“for we could, not now take tome for further search or consideration, our victuals being much spent, especially our beere.” One feature of the celebration was a big hit with the children. That was the popcorn the Indiana brought along. They popped it in a big pan and then poured maple syrup over it. It was messy, but good and the children chewed on it for three days. *In those days the children did not have so many table manners to watch. They had no napkins, forks, or even plates. They did have some knives to cut the meat and some wooden spoons. This was a decided lightening of the dish-washing problem. The Indians joined them in races and jumping contests. And the red men had archery contests in which they showed off their skill. The white men banged away with their guns and played tunes on bugles to the amazement of their red friends. Miles Standish got an ovation when he marched his little group of soldiers up and down the clearing. • World Famous BULOVA 21 Jewel Movomont • Matching Expansion Bracolot • Fashion Academy Award Stylo • AMERICA'S GREATEST • WATCH VALUE* WNCaEMMHI raSMVNTM ACADEMY AWARD BENEFIT SQUARE DANCE FRIDAY.
