VOLUME 3—NUMBER 24 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY, APRIL 17, 1952 MOUNT VERNON FARM OBTAINS TWO OUTSTANDING HERD BULLS Two Holstein bulls, 12 and 13 months old, arc now at Mout Vernon Stock Farm, Sperryville, having been leased for two years by General Mills, Inc. Research Farm, near Detroit, to the Rappahannock county dairy farm. The occasion and circumstances are flattering to Mount Vernon Stock Farm, tp J. Gifford Miller, Jr., and to G. M. Black, manager. General Mills, Inc., Research Farm had these two fine animals and, needless to say, they were going to be careful and mighty particular where the animals were placed. These two animals are not for sale, and it is understood that Michigan State University wanted them- There are no other bulls from General Mills, Inc. Research Farm in the state of Virginia, other than the* two now at Moun: Vernon Stock Farm. G- M. Black went to Detroit and brought the animals bade. One of the bulls, Laro Apex Royal Ormsby, is a son of a famous dam who made two national records in the first two lactations, and is the only Holstein to ever make two national records. At first lactation, aged 2 years, from twice milking, she produced 19,931 pounds of milk with a 3*9 test, and 707.5 lb. butterfat. As a 3%-year-old, she produced 22,440 pounds of milk, 4 per cent test, and 887.6 lb. butterfat. The other bull, Laro Apex Ormsby Fobes, has the dam which was Michigan state leader four years and second high in the nation for milk one of these years. As a 4%-yearold,on twice, milking, s^e produced 20,398 pounds of milk, 3.9 test, 8024) lb, butterfat. The sire of these two bulls is Winterthur Fobes Kann Apex, and has daughters testing as high as 4.1 per cent. The grandsire is Posch Ormsby Fobes 14th, was leading honor list sire for 1943, 1945, 1946, 1947, and. 1949; was Reserve Grand Champion, 1940; has 71 AR daughters, 10 from 801 to 989 pounds butterfat.

Miss Catherine Allen, specialist in recreation at University of Tennessee, gave a very excellent and varied program. The program included mixers, quiet games, folk dances, and square dances. Recreation develops and leads to well balanced leisure time life. Families can do much in their own homes in providing recreation. Parents can play with children, as hikes, games, etc-: plan family events and celebrations and provide more opportunities for young people. Below are some suggested games which could be played in your home with no equipment. 1. “Musical Hunt.” One person goes out of the room while a small object IS "Wing hidden. He returns and searches for it. The group sings softly when the hunter is far away from the hiding place and as he nears it, they gradually increase the volume. The singing is very loud as he gets nearer and nearer, and a yell or two adds zest. 2. “I say stoop” Played just like “Simon Savs” only the leader says (See H-D. NEWS, page 4) FIRE AUXILIARY NETS $45 AT DOLPH SALE SATURDAY $45 was realized by the Ladies Auxiliary to Rappahannock Fire Company at the sale at Dolmont on Saturday. The ladies sold sandwiches and soft drinks. Miss Ruth Stevens, a member of the auxiliary, served as clerk ofv the sale. LOST HEIFER FOUND The F.F-A. boys’ lost Hereford heifer has been found—and there are many relieved minds among the boys of the Future Farmers club. They were beginning to worry as to where the money was coming from to foot the bills, if the heifer was lost.. Last fall Wiliam Estes bought the animal from N. K. H. Tholand’s Piedmont Farm as an F.F.A. project. After William moved from the county, the F.F.A. boys took over the calf as a breeder. Life was a. happy series of events until March 31, when the calf strayed away. The boys searched in vain, until Thursday, April 10, the heifer was found by ' Melvin Brooks on Miss Mary Bruce’s farm. The animal was in fair condition. "ODDS AND ENDS» SALE An "Odds and Ends” sale will be held Saturday, April 19, at the Fire House, Washington, beginning at 10 a.m. This sale is being held by the Lou Keyser circle of Wasjiington Baptist church.

Madison County Gets Welcome into ?tli District With Congressman Burr P. Harrison as host, Madison county was welcomed into the newly-arranged 7th Congressional District at a banquet Friday evening, April 11, in the Fire House at Madison. A group from Rappahannock was on hand to help extend‘the band of greeting, since Rappahannock and her next-door neighbor, Madison, are now the two counties east of the Blue Ridge in the 7th District. Those from Rappahannock in attendance included James W. Fletcher, chairman of the 7th District Democratic committee; Robert L. Brown, P. Lee Thornton, Jr., E. M. Jones, H. S. Barksdale, and Miss Lucy Catherine Bowie. Norman Bailey, member of the state legislature for Madison and Orange counties, was present and expressed tactfully the situation which existed when there came time to re-arrange the districts. -Prior to 1980 Madison had been in the 7th District, but from 1930 to 1952 the county had been associated with its eastern neighbor, Culpeper, in the 3th District. Mr. Bailey stated that Madison was hesitant in wishing to be transferred and the district had appreciated the fine representation in Judge Howard W. Smith, but since the re-arrangement was made, he felt sure that Madison would find itself well represented with Congressman Harrison. Judge Harrison had spent the day Friday visiting the post offices and country stores throughout the county. When asked where he had iuncn tnat day, he replied that he had eaten cheese and crackers at the store at Aylor. As a note of information on his trip to Aylor, Judge Harrison said he found a man there who was not named Aylor. In reply to the query, “How did you get here?” the man re-) plied that he had married an Aylor and that gave him a right to live in the community. Judge Harrison teased himself and a friend from Rockingham county by saying that the largevoting counties were ruled by the smallest county in the district— Rappahannock—and now, that Madison had joined with her neighbor east of the Ridge, the big counties across the mountain (Sec 7th DISTRICT, page 3) Rev. John A. St Clair In Washington Communfty Revival The Reverend John A. St. Clair, pastor of the Airlee Court Baptist Church, Roanoke will be the guest minister for revival service.

Barksdale, C. H. Estes, J. R. Latham and your county agent spent last Monday journeying to Blacksburg foil the purpose of conferring with, Drs. H. N. Young, Head-Viiginia Agricultural Experiment Station; H. L. Dunton, Head VPI Agronomy Department; and S. S. Qbenshain, Agronomist Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station on the possibilities of getting a complete soil survey made in Rappahannock County. At present soils are being mappCounties. In this area, soils of Culpeper, Fauquier, and Loudon Counties have already been surveyed and maps completed. Just where experiment station crews go next depends largely on interest shown by the people of the counties concerned. " - ■ * ■ The Rappahannock delegation found the VPI men in charge of, this work very receptive but quite stubborn in committing themselves on where the states money for this work would next be spent as they want to do so where the results will be used. Thus it is going to take a lot of hammering on our part to get a soil survey. We certainly found out that its going to require a lot more than one trip and one letter of request. Consequnetly the Rappahannock group asked the Agronomy Department and Experiment Station personnel to conduct a “Soils Tour” in the county during the second week of .Tu-ly for the pur— pose of teaching a few of her leading farmers, businessmen, and agricultural workers something about her soils.* In short a soil survey is the classifying of soils within a given area according to type. Type depends on the nature of the parent (See RAPP-CHATS, page 4) LADIES AUXILIARY TO SPONSOR PROGRAM On Thursday evening, April 17, at 7:30 p.m., the Ladies Auxilary of the Rappahannock Fire Department, is sponsoring the following program* “Carry Me Back To Ole Virginny” and a Magician show.

B. Dolph. The Dolphs acquired the farm from the late Russel Wood- Mr. Dolph reserved about 23 acres with a small house across the Lee Highway from the Dolmont house. ~ On Saturday, April 12, W. B. Dolph and Paul Zinn, manager, successfully sold at public auction some household and kitchen furniture, farm machinery, and livestock. Mr. and Mrs. Dolph have pur* chased an estate near Charlottesville where they expect to make their permanent home.

Rappahannock News Published Thursday Morning at Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia Dial Washington 2851 LUCY CATHERINE BOWIE Publisher Entered as second-class mail matter at the post office at Washington, Virginia. Subscription:-$2.00 a year America Defined By DcWitt Emery Several years ago, after having spent considerable time in trying to find a suitable definition of our American Way of Life, I asked several of my writer friends to write such a definition for me. Each promised that he would do so, but never did. So, my friends having failed me, I decided to have a go at it myself. In simple, homey, downto-earth fashion, I attempted to express just what America means to me. Apparently, my effort struck a responsive chord because it was widely quoted in newspapers and magazines, over the radio and from the lecture platform. In this National Elections year it would seem to be a most appropriate time to repeat this definition: Our American Way of Life Our American way of life is made up of many things, bathtubs and automobiles; big cities and small towns; farms and back yard gardens; mammoth steel mills and village machine shops; colossal educational institutions and the country school beside the road; churches and hospitals; railroads and air lines; chewing gum and ice cream; department stores and cross-road general stores; specialty shops and beauty par& lors; pool rooms and race tracks; Hollywood, Broadway and the High School play; laughter and sorrow; eagerness and despair and people—millions of all kinds of people—gathered together from all over the world, drawn by the magnet of Freedom, Opportunity and Justice. Our American way of life provides each individual an opportunity to go as far and climb as high as his willingness to work, his skill, ingenuity and integrity will carry him. Our American way of life recognizes that the individual hast the right to work when and where he wishes, the right to worship as he pleases, to speak his mind on any subject, to meet with his fellow men for any peaceful purpose, to be secure in his possessions and to have his day in a free court. It also recognizes that the individual is superior to the State, PITTS YAL rHUR. - FRI., APRIL 17- 18 ERROL FLYNN — in . Mountain’* SATURDAY, APRIL 19 CROSBY "Riding High” SUN. - MON..

These things taken together created an atmosphere of freedom and an economic climate which made possible in the United 'States the greatest production and diffusion of wealth in the history of the world, and the establishment for even the lowest paid workers, of the highest standard of living the twprld has ever known. Why? Because for more than one hundred and fifty years, free men in a free country# have been working together to provide this better way of life. Let us hold what they have given us and go forward ‘in the sure faith that the American way of life is the greatest blessing known to mankind any place on the face of God’s earth. Communism In Iowa Taught Them A Lesson Would communism work here? Ask Iowa’s Amana Society. They tried it. The Amana people, a small offshoot of the German Lutheran church, came to America in 1842, first settled near Buffalo, N.Y., later moved to Iowa. Today 2,000 strong, they own 25 000 acres, live in seven villages 20 miles west of Cedar Rapids. Until 20 years ago, they practiced strict economic communism ate in communal groups, cooked in communal kitchens. The community owned the land and houses; each man took over a job he was thought best fitted for. Farmers turned over their produce to a community storehouse. a poor worker received the same rewards as his skilled, more productive neighbor: free clothing, free medical care, schooling f<Jr his children and community support when he was too old to work. It worked well—for a time. But many farmers and workers, knowing that hey would be taken care of regardless of their output eventually ceased to carry their share of the burden. By 1931 the society was $500,000 in the red. Shocked into taking stock, Amana’s people overwhelmingly approved a new “capitalist” constitution. It gave each member a share of stock and extra shares for each year he had worked in the colony.

Soon industry sprung up. Townsfolk spruced up their homes, installed modern plumbing. Electricity, radios and cars became a part of Ataana life. Today, the society’s assets are estimated at $6 million. Last fortnight, in accordance with Iowa law which requires corporations to renew their charters every 20 years, the Amanas voted to incorporate for another 20 years. The vote: 633 to 0. —Pathfnder. •mm*:«•;« ... : i 'The Jime Hat Come,* f the W«trn said . . . I Someone has put out a bunch of statistics—I couldn’t understand ‘em even if I read 'em—but in one place it states: “The average life span in the United States has increased to a record high of 68 years. This is a gain of 20 years over normal life expectancy in 1900 and a triumph for medical science.” Yep we’ve got diets, vitamins, and miracle drugs that folks didn’t have in 1900. So, we are going to live 20 years longer. Now, what most of us are interested in is this: what are we going to do about the extra 20 years? Do we know how to use the years any better than the folks did in 1900, or have we deteriorated to the point where it takes us an extra 20 years to get one lifetime lived as well as they did in 1900? “Don’t feel sorry for yourself— feel sorry for the folks who have to live with you.” o o o With the day for qualifying for the forthcoming election in Washington all over, it’-s found that there are seven candidates for an all-woman government and one lone man who left his name en the list. Two other men withdrew their names, so the story goes. This whole business is very disappointing at the newspaper office. Whenever prin ter a WASHINGTON THEATRE '* start at 7:15 and 9 P.

With mil the wild tales, the Rappahannock printers had one story that could top them all! We had printed blank ballots! That’s no wild story, either, for we could prove it. Two years ago, (when the date arrived for someone to qualify for a town mayor or councilman, no one bothered. In fact, there had been a time—so the tales go—that the town even forgot to have an election. The same town government just served until another election day rolled around and they remembered the date. With all the hullabaloo raised over this present government, the olden days of calm and quiet have passed into oblivion. o o o Every now and then somebody says Americans can’t spell as well as they used to, and asks why. The fact seems to be that interest in spelling comes and goes. The founding fathers, judging by their uncorrected letters, were not interested; they spelled every which way. Lincoln in his early writings was still making slips in spelling: “begining” beginning, for example. But remember, he did not have access to enormous budgeted public schools. •Noah Webster, (whose spelling book sold by the millions, helped to correct this situation, m did th* old-fa&honed spelling bee. There's a general belief that spelling hi a talent—like drawing—either you can or you can’t But I once heard an artist say that anyone who can be taught to write can also be taught to draw; whether they become an artist depends upon the desire. Maybe spelling is like that; anyone who can learn to read can learn to epell, the degree of efficiency upon the desire. o o o Merchants tell me—after quizzing —that the reason the New York | Times put out a whole section on men’s fashions is because men aren't dressing up as much as they used to. Some merchants say that the sale of white shirts has fallen off considerably since men have started wearing so many more of the sport shirts with open collars. This came as somewhat of a sut* prise. Perhaps we aren’t as. conscious of dress as we should be, but the men-folks always seemed to be dressed up pretty nicely if the occasion demanded it. There comes to mind a story of a few years back. An 8-year-old friend of mine moved to New York City.' When the day came to begin school, he dressed himself up in his loudest plaid cowboy shirt and his blue jeans’ .

Letter To Editor The citizens of Rappahannock County are indeed fortunate in having the Virginia State Highway Department care so well for the streets of the County Seat. A number of years ago a group of interested and far-sighted men succeeded in getting the streets of the town—THEN—proudly referred to as “The First Washington of All,” placed under the Highway System. It was the first town of its size in Virginia to have all of its streets macadamized. Recently the writer noticed a bad place on the side of one of the streets where cars had cut in and mud was being carried out on the street. She called Mr. M. H. Brady, superintendent of roads in this district, and in less than a half-hour, he was there to see what was needed. The next day the place was fixed in a most satisfactory manner I am sure there are many, in addition to myself, who appreciate Mr. Brady’s promptness, quiet efficiency and courtesy in caring for the streets of the County Seat of Rappahannock County. —Louemma Carter Moffett 7th District (Continued from page 1) wouldn’t stand much show. After the Congressman finished the lighter vein of the welcoming address, he entered a herious statement of what he stood for in government. He stated plainly, as his record has shown, he stands for the proved principles of democratic government. He resents a statement of “horse-and-buggy principles in an atomic age,” for ho thinks the phasing is mis-leading. “■Principles of democratic government,” Congressman Harrison asserted, “are the same a9 they were with the founding fathers. Just as thousands of years ago a man proved that a straight line is the shortest distance between two points, that same principle stands today despite changing times.” He continued by stating that * the rights of the American are the same today as they were throughout our history, and times do not alter them. Judge Harrison was openly alarmed at the violation of rights in the President's seizure of the steel mills. “They are a business owned by individuals, just like you and me, and now one has the power to take them over,” the Congressman affirmed. He continued by saying he feared the precedent: “Suppose some years from now some President will decide he doesn’t like the way farmers are running your farms. He can look back and see that President Truman seized the steel mills, so he may decide to take over your farms.” “Three times,” the Congressman said, “the President has come to the representatives of the people and asked for special powers. Three times the representatives have refused.” The seizure of the steel mills was a high-handed, dictatorial act was the opinion of Judge Harrison, and a violation of personal rights meets no approval in his ideas of government. Expressions from citizens of Harrisonburg and Rappahannock county assured the people of Madison that they were getting a Congressman in their place in the 7th District who was a conscientious servant of the people he represented. “Nothing is too much trouble,” stated the visitors present, and they assured the people of Madison county that they would soon find this out if and when they needed help. Walrus and marched proudly off to school. He came home 'broken-spirited and definitely hurt. The teacher had belittled his- appeararffce" and informed him that it was a rule of the New York City schools that he wear a dress-tjp shirt and a necktie when he attended classes. Maybe the tax-paying merchants in that city put in that ruling to help their business. But I couldn’t help but feel sorry for the little countryraised boy who had to endure a necktie in order to have the greater advantages of the city school. I've often wondered if he wouldn’t be satisfied with lesser learning and have his barefoot days back again, and be able to climb a tree instead of just looking at them in the park.

Soil Saver Notes Twenty five Culpeper and Rappahannock County farmers are in the process of establishing wildlife food and cover patches and woodland borders of Biceler Lespedeza, this week. The Culpeper Soil Conservation District has made available to farmers various kinds of seed mixtures as well as Biceler plants, that provide food for quail and other birds during the winter when the ground-is -covered-with snow. Among these farmers who have taken a special interest in a wildlife program on their farms are ineluded: John S. Thornton, Culpeper; W. D. Troxell, Rapidan; J. M. Dyer, Rixeyillle; Dr. P. A. Williams, Rapidan; Oliver Durant, Griffinsburg; T. G. Ragsdale, Brandy and L. L. Strauss, Brandy, all Culpeper County farmers. Earl Combs, Woodville; and C. R. Wire, Washington, both Rappahannock County farmers are getting started this year in their rather extensive wildlife program. Biceler Lespedeza is a perman ent perennial shrub that grow* 5 to 10 feet high. Each spring it leafs out as do other woody shrubs. It is a legume which supplies its own nitrogen after the first year. Its seed? are eaten readily by the bobwhite quail; the bark and leaves are eaten by rabbits; and the flowers are attractive to bees. Biceler has the ability to hold its seed most of the winter and thus provide food for the birds at a time when all other sources are covered with snow. Wildlife research indicates that many of our birds perish during these critical winter periods for the lack of food. Annual feed patches ere also valuable for birds during the summer and fall. These patches are approximately one eighth acre in size may be established in odd corners and on idle lands at random over the farm. The mixtures which must be seeded each spring contain mile, beans, annual lespedezas and various other summer plants that are relished by birds. STRIKE BACK AT CANCER!.
