Lyne County Agent •Several farmers have asked about the advisability of immunizing livestock against Rabies. In general veterinarians advise it is too expensive, however reports on dosage vary. One report says farm animals such as sheep, cattle, swine, mules, horses,etc. should receive 10 c.c. of the vaccine before exposure and 20 c. c. daily for six consecutive days after exposure. One veterinarian says that to give only one 50 c. c. dose as a preventative is a waste of time and money, that three such dose* should be administered at intervals. Thus you see the discrepency Fve run into, however all agree general immunization of farm animals is impractical. Possibly it will be wise to consult your own Veterinarian about the "question. In Fauquier, it is estimated about fifty farm animals have been lost as result of rabies. Also quotations received through the grapevine supposedly orginating (See RAPP-CHATS Page 10) MRS. RUTH E.

Brady Mark 50th Anniversary With nieces, nephews, brothers, sisters, and neighbors in to greet them, Mr. and Mrs. William Strother Brady celebrated their golden wedding anniversary Tuesday, January 29, at their home near Flint Hill. %. >. A county newspaper published about this time 50 years ago, would have carried an item something like this: “Mr. and Mrs. •George Washington Pullen have announced the marriage of their daughter, Ida Bessie, to William Strother Brady. The marriage took place January 29, 1902, at the home of the bride’s parents in Clark Hollow, with the Rev. Mr. Clark, Methodist minister o£ Flint Hill, officiating." There is no strangeness in the fact that all the family kin of nieces and nephews was present for the occasion of the golden wedding. Mr. and Mrs. Brady are first cousins, and three of the Brady brothers married three of the Pullen sisters, while a Brady sister married a Pullen brother. It’s strictly a family affair—-this getting married! “Yes,” commented Mr. Brady, “four of us married four of the "Pullens," and with a twinkle in the eye, he added, “one of the Pullen girls got left because we ran out of Brady boys?* , We grew op together in Clark • Hollow,*' stated Mr. Brady, whose mother was 6. W. Pullen’s sister. Clark Hollow got its name from the Clark family who lived there, -Mrs- Brady’s mother having been Susan Catherine Clark before her ■marriage to 6. W. Pullen. I Mrs. Brady said that someone commented to her father about his daughter marrying her first cousin, to which her father replied, “I married my first cousin, my father married his first cousin, and my grandfather married his first cousin. Mrs! Brady does not know whether her father iwas just jokihg or whether it is a true statement, •but the quotation remains in the' family store of -tales. The family is full of stories and little jokes of the neighborhood. Mr. Brady can tell tales on everyone in the community and can recite the rhymes the kids used to sing-song as they walked the road to and from school. One of these went: “Claris Hollow and Pullen Street, Fa’ people and nothin’ to eat!” He can continue with tales of the joking between his uncle* and Mr. Dabney Eastham. His uncle enjoyed teasing Mr. Eastham about being homely in appearance, and Mr. Eastham retaliated. “One day I was riding in the wagon with Uncle,” says Mr. Brady, “when we came by Mr. Eastham’s yard. Uncle hollered out ‘Whoa!’ to the team, and then called to Mr. Eastham, ‘Ho! Dabney! Would you mind turning* your back so I can get this team by (without scaring ’em?” Another series of tales Mr. Brady likes to tell involves jokes that he and Mr. Bob Ricketts used to play on each other. . ., , . • Mr. Brady, 78, speaks with some pride in saying that “if I have an - enemy, I don't know it," and that he has lived in the county all hia life “and never been into court. “I’ve done my jury duty, but I’ve neyen been one to get into trouble."Tragedy has fallen into the lives of Mr. and Mrs. Brady during their 60 years. Two little boys were born; one died in infancy, and the .other, Lyle Brown Brady, died at seven years of age. Hav-< ing no children of their own, they take great interest in the nieces and nephews and their families. . 3 Mr. and Mrs. Brady celebrate their birthdays just two days apart, hers* on March 7,' his on March 9, although he is too years per senior. ■ & For the past 28 years they hav* „ fc- s- ' * i , ’’ 1 ’ * ■- t * r'Pj' -County Home .Demonstration By Mis* Elisabeth Fum Horn* Agent An upholstery clink was held at the home of Mrs. L.

Entered as second-class mail matter 'at th9 post office at Washington, Virginia. Subscription:_$2.00 a year . Private Enterprise By George Peck Much has been written and said in recent years about Private En-' .?terprise. Its friends and proponents have eulogized it in words , i of warm and enthusiastic praise, ascribing to it the credit for the unprecedented achievements ' of this nation during the first cenf tury and a half of its history. The foes of Private Enterprise s ;5 have vilified it in caustic and scathing language, blaming it for all the nation’s ills, and deihanding that this system be displaced by one or other of he economies which time and time again have been tried and found wanting. Despite the fact that in two — world wars America electrified the world with its production for war, the planned economists persist in venting their spleen against ,Pth vate Enterprise, the spark plug of our American Capitalistic System, responsible or those -miracles of ' production. It is strange that there are still some among us who “ are so blind as not to see what is so plainly visible. The common sense of the Amer-, ican people, which at times has ' seemed to go temporarily into hiding, but which when the chips are down always hps manifested itself, Will dictate the retention of Pri*• vate Enterprise. It is the nation’s one great hope jn the gigantic struggle to save us and the rest of the free world from godless, tyrannical communism. From time to time rewards have been offered for the best definition of Free or Private Enter-prise. There have been numerous. .contests in which prizes have been offered for the best essays setting forth just what Private En« -terprise is, what makes it “tick” and what it has done for America. The scribes and poets of the na*. ’ tioa bent their pens to the task and many beautful compositions expounding the virtues of Private Enterprise have been written and publicized One of the clearest descriptions is a little poem which appeared on the front pageofthe Septem. her 1944 issue of the Arkansas Banker, the official organ of the Arkansas Bankers Association. Who is the author of this poem I am unable to tell. Apparently, he or she, with becoming modesty, prefers to be unnamed, for inquiry to the Arkansas Bankers Association failed to elicit a reply as to the identity of the poet who bas made this magnificent contribution. I cannot tell the author’s name, but I can pass on the poem: PRIVATE‘ENTERPRISE The power to choose the work1 we do, ; lo grow and have the larger view, To know' and feel that we are free. To stand erect, ndt bow the knee. To be no chattel of the State, ' To be the master of our fate, To dare, to risk* to lose, to win, f To make our own career begin. To serve the (world in our own way, To gain in wisdom, day by day. With hope and rest to climb, to ■Sv rise; ■ 4 That is PRIVATE ENTERPRISE. This columnist would be the - last to claim that Private Enterprise is a perfect system, but it’s the best yet devised to serve man-' kind. Over the years we’ve made improvements in it—in the future further refining adjustments wiU be made—to make the bast ;7 . even, better, v v;.. Folks wouldn*t worry so much •bout what others thought of them if they'd realise how seldom • they «Hd. Clergy Challenged , It is unfortunate that tike “Brass Hats” of the National Council of Churches create the impression that the majority of Protestant ministers are opposed to our American capitalistic system. Such is not the case. A poll recently made by the American Institute of Public Opinion reveals that the vast majority of clergymen believe in, and are prepared to defend, our American system. The sad thing is that the general public is not aware of this. The noisy minority in the National Council of Churches is the voice the citizens hear. And that Voice rants against business profits, which constitute the keystone of our American capitalistic system. This minority would have us believe that there is something sinister and ignoble about the profit motive and that it is incompatible with Christianity. now wrong this noisy minority is! More than any other economic sftetem, Our capitalistic system is in conformity with Christian principles. It is the one system that recognizes the worth and dignity Christ taught by word and example. Moreover, capitalism gave the individual his first real opportunity. It released him from bondage and enabled him to live his1 own life, express his thoughts and to worship according to the dictates of his conscience.—This was aptly expressed by Dr. Harold R. Husted, minister of the First Baptist Church of Plainfield, N.J., when he said: “The more our government attempts to control the 'economy, the more it must attempt to control the actions of individuals and take away their freedom. It is not more government in business that we need, but more moral integrity, honesty, unselfishness, and the spirit of brotherhood in the lives of the citizens whp are the foundaion of this democratic land. Christianity and our economy, based upon free enterprise, are inseparable." From time to time, I receive letters from readers expressing the opinion that clergymen have no business to engage in politics and to take a stand either pro or con regarding our economic system. To deny a “man-of-the-cloth” the right to engage in politics is virtually to take away his American citizenship, surely too great a sacrifice to ask, even of a minister. As to a minister not expressing his opinion regarding our economic system, that is heer nonsense. As a spiritual leader, he has an obligation to do so. The churches should be concerned about the survival of our capitalistic system. Its destruction would bring about some form of totalitarianism, which would recognize no moral law. Churches would be under attack, and ultimately freedom ^of worship forbidden. We Americans would find ourselves in the untenable position of being forced to worship the state and a handful of powerful bureaucrats at its helm. A minority of ministers, concerned that there is still some poverty and distress in America—the world’s most prosperous nation— have fallen for the humanitarian promises of the collectivists. They have been fooled by these falsa and illusionary promises. They do no realize that a collectivist society has never worked because it has a crippling effect upon individual initiative. They do not know that under socialism the end result is simply a distribution of poverty, while on the other hand, the objective of our American capitalistic system is to raise everybody’s living standards by (producing more at* less cost. Therefore, the majority of our clergy whose thinking has not been warped by the Utopian preachments of the collectivists, not only have every right to bespeak themselves, in fact, it is» their Christian obligation to do so. The chips are down. The battle 3a joined between Christianity and godless totalitarianism. Can a clergyman have any choice be* tween these two ideologies? Hi*» Betty Orange returned to her classes in Rappahannock High School this week after * 4 absent on account of “flu.* . w Let Ut Worship Him *. By Dr. Alfred P. Haake The United States was founded on faith. The very freedom on Which and with which we built this nation from the outset was “freedom under God”. The Declaration of Independence itself recognizes the overlordship of God in human affairs and acknotw^ ledges that men are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happness are not the gift of government, but are rights granted by God, and we have made it the duty of government to respect and protect those rights. It is though allegiance to God that we escape slavery under despotism. That ns why communism fights so desperately against religion and so vehemently denies God as the author of civil, political and religious liberty. It is when communism induces men to cease their reliance on God and to seek instead the grace of government, that dictatorship is on its way to fulfillment and permanence. -w- ■ BRIDGE PARTY Mr. and Mrs. Paul Miller entertained a table of Canasta.

The fellow gets up in the dark and goes*to work; it’s •dark by quitting time. By the time -January is over, he realizes he i* facing February, March, and up to April 13 before Easter holiday rolls around, and he develops what is known as "February-itis*” He begins to think an afternoon in. the sun would .be a good tonic; he gets to studying the garden catalogs; the days won't get longer fast enough to suit him, and a severe case of February-itis has him in the clutches. V--Q.-Q“The things that women can make the most out of nothing are a hat, a salad, and a quarrel.” That dainty bit of “wit” was contributed for printing. It is customary for communications to be signed before they are printed, and this one was anonymous. It should be ignored, but there are two trains, of thought (no cracks, (please, about their being a string of empties) on the item’s being anonymous. To begin with, it is evident a man wrote it. Thought No. 1: if he’s married, he was afraid to sign it. Thought No. 2: if he isn’t married, he still knows better than to sign his name to a statement like THE DRUGGIST IS REQUIRED TO KNOW COSMETOLOGY ^Cosmetology is the science *of compounding cosmetics. Although the druggist seldom prepares any of the cosmetics he offers for sale (he leaves that job to reliable manufacturers), he makes it his business to know what ingredients are used in their formulas and which preparations are recom_ mended for specific skirt conditions. J v DIAL 8322 CULPEPER, VA. PRESCRIPTIONS ACCURATELY COMPOUNDED that. Note: Deer Anonymous Sir, I don’t think you are funny. o o o Little boy overhearing his parents talking of needing money writes,God a letter: “Dear God, We lure without food or money. Please send us $100.00.” Upon receiving the letter, the {postmaster sent it to the mayor, the mayor sent it to the governor, and the governor sent it to the. President. One of the President's Staff decided to send the boy $5. Upon receipt of the $5 the little boy wrote another note: “Dean God, thanks for the money, but next time send it direct., You sent this by way of Washington and they took out $95 for taxes.” (Southeastern Road Builder.) Failure To 'Register Is Violation Of Law Calling attention to the ' fact that failure to register is a violation of law and makes the delinquent liable for immediate induction A. C. Latham, Sr., Chairman of Local Board 102 for entire county of Rappahannock expressed fear that many youths were placing themselves in jeopardy unwillingly. No estimate of the number of eligibles who were not registered; was made but local boards have standing instructions to turn over names and suspected delinquents under the selective service law tor federal authorities for investigation and prosecution if facts warrant. \ Although the young man who becomes IS is required to register at a local board office within five days of the date of his eighteenth birthday, Mr. Latham explained, if he happens to be away from home he need not return : He may register at the nearest local board convenient to him and the record will be sent to the local board having jurisdiction, even though it is in another state. After he registers, the universal military training and service act requires that a registrant keep his local board informed of any change in his address or change in status, the chairman pointed out, and this applies after he becomes 26 as well as before. (Questioned concerning the man Jwho did not register because he was on active duty in the armed forces, it was explained that such a man is required to register within 30 days of the time he is separated from the armed forces. * “Any person who changes from a status which did not require his registration to a status which does require it must register promptly to be within the law,” the local draft official said, adding that those (who were out of the country on the registrations days must register within five days following the date they re-enter the United States, which includes Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Noncitizens entering the United States for the first time are required to register at a local board within six months following the date of their entry. BRIDGE PARTY Mr. and Mrs. B. M.

Washington, Virginia’s “prettiest mayor ever”, Mrs. Dorothy Davis, and her all-woman council are setting a national Example for town-house keeping this month. Picked from scores of successful women in public office throughout the country, in the February* Ladies’ Home Journal they are telling other women how to roll up , their sleeves and do a job in government. The article is one-of the current series entitled Political PilgrimsJ Progress, the purpose of whieh is to get more women into active politics who will work for better government. ’ More than two hundred years ago,” says the writer, “George Washington surveyed the town of Washington, Virginia. Lately, a woman mayor and her alliwoman city council have been surveying the town a bit themselves. As a re* suit, grass no longer grows in the streets of Washington, stray dogs do not roam the town and there are no dark street* with broken " street lamps. During the past year they’ve _ been able to institute better town ; housekeeping, as well as tend their own, is observed. The account is highly complementary, “Young and pretty as a cover girl, Her Honor, Mayor Davis, is the wife of a Justice Department ' attorney, George H. Davis Jr., has three young children as well as a town to manage. The election all started tue*-v much as a joke, Dorothy Davis admits, someone just happened to say that town housekeeping was bad and that the women could do a better job of it. The little town of 250 took the women up on it. Trial Justice, B. M. Miller took over their campaign and they were swept into office.” But once in office, the women have given the town its first budget, havq reported a surplus because “we shop around for the \ most value for our money, as all housewives have to do,” the article lauds. • ■ ■, ’• . —.::-/ '. — W ...

In the firs* ^tace, let me suggest that .you atop en y scolding, threatening, f : spanking, ana making promise*. As you already have discovered, such methods are ineffective, tend to create undesirable attitudes of hostility between yon and your children, and make the matter of eating a contest of wills between you and them. Let aae suggest that you try die following: L Plan food attractively, which means both color and variety. Make a special effort to avoid having on the Elates food that runs, together or that i soft and sloppy. Children do not like messy plates. 2. Put small helpings on the plate. i Sometimes a mother thinks a child will eat more if large helpings are placed before him. Just the opposite is true. 3. Occasionally—perhaps even rather frequently—let your sons decide what ‘.you are going to have for lunch or the evening meal. If their preferences are taken into consideration, they are more likely to eat. 4 Do not compare one child* eating habits with the other’s. To do so may arouse resentment in the less favored child, and may cause him to fed that you cue more for the other. 5. Let mealtime be a pleasant experience. Do not criticize their table manners or their nibbling at the food. Encourage each member of the family to tal some of the interesting things that may have happened during die day. & H yon have followed the above amount of food year sonseat. Some days they vffl need more than on ethers and consequently ant more. Do not soold nr act aggrieved Jf they do not eat who! yon think they shoald. Ignore their net ailing, hnt give approval when they da 7. Thane is nereaeon why they should thing light ta eat before bedtime. t. If yuu iaal yarn children an ad * well physically, ha son to check whh a ■■ and is it advisable to pay a child? Your question assumes correctly that a child mould take some responsibility for the work of the household. The. amount of work, of course, depends upon his age and the extent of his outside activities and interests. Small children can learn to pick up their clothes, to put away toys, to run the sweeper. As they get older, they will take the responsibility of washing the dishes, dusting, looking after the lawk, firing the furnace, and other similar duties. It is well to remember die following about the distribution of work: Let each member of the family have specific responsibilities, so that he will know just what he is supposed to do and will know when he has finished his work. Let the decision as to the responsibilities assigned be made in the family council. Be sure the work is significant, especially as the children get older. Vary the tasks from time to time. Don’t let one person have all the drudgery. Aa a member of the family group, the child has certain privileges, one of which Is aa allowance. He also has certain responsibilities. Work that done ever aad above his ■ag be paid foe. iu5 k to BtotoS M. Maynard, 819 Broadway, Nad▼IHe 2, TcoacMae, to be aaowwed mm k> dbcdum.

The apple juice for the breakfast beverage was donated by the Blue Ridge [Fruit Growers Coop. Inc., at Sperryville, Rappahannock County. • " Highlights on the two day program included a welcome address by T. Nelson Parker, Mayor, City ' of Richmond. Mr. J. W. Sargent, | Assistant Regional Director, Soil • Conservation Service, Spartan- / burg, S. C., addressed the convention on the matter of “Assisting Districts With the Technical Job of Soil and Water Conservation.** The Honorable John S.

Dairy scientists at the Station, 'who used the entire dairy research herd last season to test the value o{ three different pasture mixtures for milk production, have tabulated these results: -Ladino clover-orchard grass produced the greatest amount of total digestible nutrients and milk per acre. It gave 6% percent more nutrients and 10.4 percent more milk than did ladino clover Kentucky 31 fescue. Ladino doverorchard grass produced 26.4 per cent more nutrients and 16.6 per cent more milkeper acre than did) alfalfa-orchard grass pastures. Net gains of body weight! followed the same pattern, the (highest net gains occurring on N ladino clover-orchard grass. The researchers said an inter* dating observation was made in ... respect to the way the cows re* ■ •ponded whenever they were turned on a new pasture to graze. On the first day of grazing milk production always dropped regardless of the pasture mixture. On. the succeeding three days, mfik production went up, until the fourth ' day when it again declined. The researchers say it appears that a > ■ higher producton could be maintained if the cows wore allowed to graze a new pasture lot every ^ fifth day. Grazing longer than this may cause a lowered milk produc•tion. r : NOTICE ; • ' Hbbmii who hurt not sSflrMd l ihoir 1952 PMA worluboct an «**•* to do so ofc oo«« »* Fobru-. «ry 5, 1952 is tho list doy to sJ(il Irrin R.
