VOLUME 3—NUMBER 20 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY, MARCH 20, 1952 $2.00 PER YEAR Fox Attacks School Children The five children of George Smoot beat off an attaching fox Tuesday afternoon on their way home from school. Hanging in age from 7 to 18. the children left the school bus on the Harris Hollow raod and began a two-mile walk on the open road through fields to their homeWhen the fox came across the open field toward them, they began to grab stones to defend themselves. They killed the fox with the stones and then started running home. The father. George Smoot, reports that when the children arrived at home they were so breathless and frightened* that he wondered if they had their story mixed up. He went back to the open field and there was the body of the dead fox, just as the children had reported. Mr. Smoot brought the animal to the Game Warden, but the head was so crushed by stones that It was of no value tor examination. Mr. Smoot reports that he has lost three calves and two dogs from what he supposed to be rabies and the veterinarian agreed with him in the case of one of the dogs. The dogs had been givn the rabies shots about five weeks before their death. Mr. Smoot is alarmed now because he had cattle loose in the open field where the children killed the fox and he has no way of knowing if they have been bit or not. The children refused to go to school Wednesday morning, following their experience of Tuesday afternoon, and Mr. Smoot aaid he could hardly blame them. He says that he will have to make arrangements to bring them to the school bus in the morning and return to meet them in the afternoon.

Several Rappahannock farmers have indicated interest in Sorgo •which has been used in Fauquier county. Upon an investigation the following letter, which may prove of interest was received from Lemuel' Sutphin, County Agent'of that county. *For the past several years, and it increased considerably last year, the farmers in the northern part of this county have been using Atlas Sorgo, which is a giant type of grain sorghum. These farmers have drilled Atlas JSorgo in rows such as they would drill corn. About 14 lb. of seed has been used per acre. The yield has been about 15 tons of silage per acre. The sorgo has been planted alone and in no case that I know of has it been planted with corn. The farmers are well pleased with the silage which they made from Atlas Sorgo. It contains about the same total digestible nutrients as corn being low in protein but carrying a high content of sugars. Their chief reason for planting the sorgo, hoiwever, has been due to the fact that the Japanese Beetle does not damage this crop.” AUTO LICENSES DUE NOW With the time at hand for new auto tags, the plea comes from Gibson Whorton, at Hampton Service Station, please don’t wait until the last minute to buy the 1952 tags.

Subscription $2.00 a year A Dip Into The Future It is 1956 and a certain President has been elected again and the country has become accustomed to socialized medicine. A man feeling ’the need of medical service went to the building arranged for that purpose and upon entering the front door found himself faced with a battery of doors, each marked with the name of an ailment, such as appendicitis, heart trouble, cancer, etc. He felt sure his tffcuble would be diagnosed as appendicitis so he entered the door marked herewith and upon entering found himself faced with two doors, one marked male and the other, female. Of course he entered the door marked male and immediately found himself in a corridor where there were two doors, one marked Protestant and one marked Catholic. Since he was Protestant he entered the proper door, and found himself facing two doors, one marked white and one marked colored. He entered the white door and again found himself faced with two doors, one marked taxpayer and one marked non-taxpayer. He still owned an equity in his home so he went through the door marked taxpayer end found himself still confronted with doors, marked married and single. He had a wife at home so he entered the proper door and once more there were two doors, marked Republican and Democrat. He was a Republican so he entered the proper door and—fell nine floors to an alley. Thus ends the story.

A case of postponing didn't deaden the pain.

You can t win." o o o I see by the papers Mr. Truman still doesn’t know if he will run or not. The lady mayor of the county seat of Rappahannock county made a similar statement some time ago, according to a Richmond newspaper, but circumstances are a little different in Washington, Old Dominion. After all, the lady could make her announcement at a pretty late date for this June’s electon, since a six-hour tour could just about give her time to visit each one of the votors. o o o une internal Revenue clerk received an unusual inquiry this year. “Can I put undej charity,” asked the taxpayer, “mone'y spent for clothes to replace good suits that my wife gives to rummage sales?” o o o A newspaper editor in Mississippi has rebelled at beng a taxcollector for Uncle Sam. Most of us think she won’t get by with it, of course, and the Treasury Boys will get her sooner or later, but you can’t help admire her for sticking to her guns. “I have closed by bank account and declared through my newspaper that my husband is in no way responsible for either the Summit Sun or Mary D.

NEWS (Continued from pace 1). of gathered skirts. Miss Mary Settle, housing specialist from V.P.I., visited Miss Elsie Courtney of Castlefcon, Mrs. Will Walter of Amissville and Mrs. Barbara Gentry of Flint Hill on Wednesday. Miss Settle gave advice on installation of both location and arrangement of bathroom ^nd kitchen sinks and suggested that: oaniiary conditions and facilities for the farmhouse are essential for safe guarding the health of the farm family and the community. These should take first place in a family’s program of housing improvement. Minimum sanitation requirements include: (1.) A plentiful water supply, uncontaminated. This means a well, spring or cistern properly located, walled up, and securely covered to prevent contamination. (2.) A sanitary toilet iwhich meets State Health Department requirements. (3.) Windows and doors properly screened. While the above are minimum, it is desirable for every family to achieve, as early as possible, sanitation facilities which are not only safe but convenient.. Running water and a bathroom contribute to health by making cleanliness easier to achieve saving human energy, making sewage disposal safe, and increasing physical comfort. The family that wants running water and plumbing can get these advantages by degrees, if willing to plan and work for them. Every family could have at least a kitchen sink with a drain, and probably water piped to the kitchen, or a pump at the sink.
