Sperryville will help make room for the additional 60 high school students expected to enter high school next year. Grades one, two, and three will be left at Washington unless additional changes are necessary. AH present teachers of the ’5152 session .were re-appointed, which means that contracts will be mailed out, but until each teacher signs and returns the contract, it will not be known which ' ones will return for the school session of 1952~53. The high school next year has been notified that it must offer 30 credits in order to maintain its accredited rating. The present offering is 29, so one more must be added for next year. -Predictions are to the effect that by the session 1958-54 several more academic credits must be added as* well as two additional credits in liberal arts. The comment of the school authoriti#* on these future additions is *tae*U cross those bridges when we get to them.” Among the problems at hand for next year are providing apace and classes for the pupils expected to enroll. ; Gilbert Gibson Wborton Gilbert Gibson Whorton, 72, died Fttday at University Hospital at Charlottesville, where he had been a patient, for the past six weeks.

Subscription: .... $2.00 a year Need for Course In Handshaking * The-handshake-i'S- an-'Cviden’Ce'-of ■ friendship. Tradition has it that men first held out their hands, palms up, to show they carried no concealed weapons. Then some smart-aleck probably learned to hide a knife between his fingers, and so the handshake was invented. There ought to be a course in handshaking. Colleges should set it up as a requirement for graduation, and give the youngsters a thorough drilling in the fundamentals. Thus we might rid ourselves of those two extremists—the guy who lets you shake his hand like a sack of sawdust, and the other one who likes to break a knuckle or two just to prove how strong a grip he has. Both such handshakes should never he allowed to mingle with human society. Just a cordial grip backed by a friendly smile—those seem to be the chief essentials in telling .people you're glad to see them. Price* and Incomes It is something of an economic axiom that the price of any article is determined largely by how much there is of it—and how badly people want it. And that fact has led to a considerable amount of confusion in the public mind. Take, for example, so simple and so widely-consumed a product as pork chops. The housewife will argue that the price of these chops is way too high—and automatically reason from that that all meat prices are too high. Actually, pork chops are expensive because there are so few of them. After a 240-pound hog is butchered and processed, only about 150 pounds of pork products are left for the butcher to sell. And only 10 pounds of those products are center cut pork chops—the cuts most people like best. So it is entirely natural and •inevitable that the chops cost substantially more than other pork products which are just as nutritious. This goes for other kinds of meat as well. Only a small part of a steer, for instance, winds up in the butcher’s show window in the form of T-bones.

I pray that I may never again go around with my finger to my lips and "S-s-h-h, I never said that,” or “Don’t you dare say 1 told such a thing.” What I am trying to say is that if each of us will realize how much kind words mean to us, we will all try to use more of them. Again I thank you, one and all of my great host of Friends and sympathizers. Sincerely, „ JAKE KEYSER mation has been making the rounds concerning the meat price situation. If you told the average housewife that meat costs./less now than it did in the 30’s she’d look on you as a candidate for the booby-hatch. But meat does cost a little less—if the price is measured in proportion to family incomes, which is the only accurate yardstick. According to U.S. Department of Agriculture figures, meat accounted for 6 per cent of the average consumer’s disposable income during the 1930-39 period. During the four-year 1948-51 period, on the other hand, it took 5J per cent. And we eat more meat and better meat now -than we did in the past:Meat prices have risen—certainly. But our incomes, on the average, have risen even more. Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Lyne and their daughter, Peachie Lyne were guests on Sunday of Col. and Mrs. R. G. Lyne at Waterford.

Some association in Florida has figured out that this year, up to May 19, all the money the average American has earned must be paid out in local, state, or federal taxes, and that the average worker's overall tax load has increased -io-the-.point--where it-sew-takes 38 cents out of every dollar he earns. Frankly, I haven’t noticed the difference these past ten days. Maybe it’ll take a little more time for the realization to sink in. a o o No one is too big to be kind and courteous, but many are too little. o o o The difference in interest and curiosity is decided in nature but difficult to express, so they say. One fellow says the main difference is that curiosity is insatiable, but since his subject was abstract, his explanation was abstract. Another fellow, says that he can illustrate and explain it better. "When I ask a guy how his sick child is, then I’m interested.

Walrus (Continued from page 2) •’ One thing I do recall, however; the valedictorian of the class had a sense of humor and1 a typed copy of the speech he wanted to make was given to each of his classmates. (It definitely was not the one 'he delivered to the faculty and proud parents!) In the address (for the classmates only) he made a few suggestions to the faculty: “Do not think me impertinent if I presume to make a few suggestions to you, dear faculty. Life as we have heard about it in these storied halls is sicklied o’er with the pale cast of thought. But life as she comes to us in xne tabloids is raw. It seems to us that our course in political science could have been re-arranged. I iaouW junk the psychology and substitute a practical course in hitch-hiking. For required reading I would prescribe the WantAd section, specializing in the Help Wanted departments, and for the graduate who actually landed a job I would endow a chair in a one-arm lunchroom.” The last paragraph ran something like this: “Ah, yes, beyond the Alps lies Italy, and Insull is safe in Greece; life is real and life is earnest, and the angles of the base of an isosceles triangle are equal. But a? «o Hotter here this lovely June morning, fanning our pretty wings in the open window of life, we, the graduating class, have" only one question in our minds, one thought in our hearts: When do we eat?” County News Notes Mr. and Mrs. V.

Willis , Jr. owner of a large dairy and beef cattle farm near Remington has constructed an open ditch drainage system. The system will drain approximately 10 acres of potentially good level land, which will be developed as grass and legume pasture. Soil Conservation Service Technicians assisted the farmer in location and design of the ditches as well as supervising construction. The work was done by means of heavy equipment rented from a local contractor. M. A. Utz, manager of Horseshoe Farnj near Rapidan, is finishing laying 1475 feet of tile to eliminate swampy areas on level cropland along the Rapidan River. Many farmers are taking advantage of the financial assistance given by the Production Marketing Administration this year in farm drainage. An allowance of 12c per cu. yd. of dirt moved from open ditches, 10c per linear ft. on 4 and 5 in. tile and 15c per linear ft. on 6 in. and above is made on all work that is carried out according to specifications. N. K.G. Tholand, owner of Piedmont Farm in F. T. Valley, has added over 200 acres to his farm, making a total of approximately 900 acres, assisted by Soil Conservation Service Technicians, Mr. Tholand has revised his complete farm plan to include the additional land and to balance hay and pasture. Piedmont Farm is operated as a beef cattle unit, growing only small grain, hay and pasture. In this scheme much of the hay is utilized as grass and legume on silage, thus making a minimum amount of hay, which Mr. Tholand considers is much cheaper. Damage From European Corn Borer Mounts The European com borer, a troublesome insect now known to be in 69 Virginia counties, continues to spread, reports A. M. Woodside, assistant entomologist at VPI Agricultural Experiment Station. Possibly the borer exists in some of the other 31 counties in Virginia, Woodside said. However, no systematic study has been made. Although damage was lighter in 1951 than in several previous years, it amounted to over $482,000 in the eight counties surveyed In Virginia. Heaviest losses were in Rockingham, Augusta, Clarke, and Shenandoah. Woodside said the counties from which no reports have been made of the, borer include three in the southwest,—three^alofig-the-eentFal- part of~ the West Virginia line, and 25 in central and southside Virginia. Most of the loss caused by the corn borer, where infestation is moderate, is the result of the breakage of stalks and dropping of ears, rather than an actual reduction in yield. This breakage and dropping causes spoilage and waste, and increases the cost of harvesting because it is necessary to pick up behind the harvesting machinery. Miss Bessie Carder returned Sunday after a visit with Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Carder Jr. Miss Mattie Rector is the guest this week of Mrs. Florence Johnson.

OHIO Behind the Scenes Of a Flower Show Almost a year ago it was decided by the Garden Club to have a flower show this spring! The president appointed the chairman in January and the committees were appointed to the February meeting. After due discussion it was decided to use the title of a collect composed by one of the members as the theme. The collect has been in the year book each year and is repeated at the meetings. It also has appeared in a gardening magazine and on a national radio program. The club members are justly proud of the author and showed it by the choice of the theme. .... jSInce, the,Jsehed«le™is.cen&i4ore4 the law of a show and governs its size, appeal, and scope, the Schedule Committee molded numerous suggestions, their horticultural knowledge, and the theme together to form a balanced picture. The publicity committee started >. making the public flower-show conscious as soon as the time, the place, and theme had been decided upon and kept up interest by use of posters, newspaper articles, and radio.

J. DAY, Manager PHONE 105 FRONT ROYAL Mi vary to WuUa|toa Every MeWay written up.' Using the schedule as a basis, the Staging Committee dreamed up the show and enlisted the aid of the membership as a whole to carry out the over-all plan. As one of the most difficult aspects of the horticultural section is to display individual specimens effectively, it was decided by the club to have gTeen specimen stands made, patterned after those Used by the Pork Service. The R. C. H. S. shop boys made these with concealed testtubes to hold water for the stems. These are a permanent investment and are for rent to other clubs. Members took care of numerous jobs, such as white-washing wheel ■barrows, Imngi n g tables and equipment, staging bird houses in a tree, making brockets for the miniatures, wiring for the shadow boxes, setting up the niches, making large niches, designing and building the entrance and theme of l^the show, and decorating the stage and auditorium as a whole. After the show is staged by the Staging and Properties Committee, the Entries Committee has the responsibility of keeping a record of each entry and making a corresponding card to accompany the exhibit. The Classification Committee sees that the entry is placed in the proper class and is classified according to the schedule. There is a period of about one half-hour between the closing of entries, general cleaning up and the arrival of the judges. - * The Judging Chairman, who has seeured the judges well in advance, meets them and introduces their clerks, who keep a record of the judges’ decisions and apply the necessary ribbons to the proper entries. The clerks use their records to compute the number of points to arrive at the horticultural and over-all sweepstakes as stated in the schedule. The Reception Committee takes care of registering the' visitors and the silver offering at the door and is on duty from the time the show is opened until it closes.. There is, naturally, much interest in the ribbons but some of the most interesting incidents are never known; such as, one man worked two whole days helping decorate the stage and it was suggested that he deserved a blue ribbon on merit. Later, he found the weathered wood lad won the tri-color while he was getting evergreens, and he was sporting the tri-color after the show. Some of the ladies stayed up until 3 a.m. making arrangements and decided it was worth the effort when they saw their ribbons. The school children paid twice as much attention to the bird houses, shadow boxes, and conservation exhibit put on by the Park Service than to the specimens and arrangements. Most husbands were more impressed by ribbons than hy the artistic perfection of the wives1 exhibits. Most people agreed that the loveliest sight was the white wheelbarrow filld with collections of perennials. One hour’s dismantling by all available help ofter the close of the show, and two hours’ work by the Dismantling Committee the next morning took care of obliterating three months’ planning and work.—Contributed.

' In releasing these figures today, Miss Lois Cockey, field representative of the Alexandria social security office, also said that these monthly payments under old-age and survivors insurance program amounted to $1,908 in this area. “Without thesCpayments earned by workers under this contributory system, theability of many people to pay for necessities would have been drastically curtailed or entirely ended,” she said. More than two-third of all people over 65 in the United States who could not count on income from work for support, were getting social security insurance benefits. About 45 persons over age 65 in Rappahannock county were receiving these payments. Mis? Cockey pointed out that this Federal program is of fording substantial survivor insurance protection. Three out of every four mothers and young children in the nation are now assured of monthly payments if the . insured breadwinner of the family dies. In this connection sht cited monthly payments totaling $572 to 22 children and 5 widowed mothers in the Rappahannock Caunty area. These monthly payments are going to families deprived of earned income by the ^ untimely death of the wage earner. They are making it possible to keep families together, and keep children in school, and at the same time, lessening the drain on both public and private welfare funds, she declared.

Livestock Auction Market Popular The livestock auction market is the most popular outlet for livestock sales in Virginia, according to recently compiled results of a survey of some 7,000 farms in 47 Virginia counties. J. D. Johnson, agricultural economist at the VPI .Agricultural Experiment Station, says further about 80 percent of the farmers selling livestock through auction markets live within 30 miles of the auction. Many farmers, the study also showed, were relying on the buyer to transport their livestock in 1950. About 33 percent of the cattle, 23 per cent of the calves, 39 percent of the hogs and 16 percent of the lambs were moved from the farm in the buyer’s truck. The livestock producer selling only a few animals for slaughter purposes tends to depend more on the buyer’s mode of transportation than does the larger producer. About 1/3 of the slaughter cattle and calves sold by Virginia farmers in 1950 were classed as dairy* type animals. Nearly 1/4 of all cattle and calves were less than 6 months old when sold. However, the largest percentage of slaughter cattle were sold when two years old or older. Only 8 percent of the beef-type animals were sold when less than 6 months old, whereas 42 percent of the mixed-type and 55 percent of the dairy-type were less than 6 months old when sold. Farmers reported very little grain finishing of slaughter cattle or lambs. Slightly over 88 percent of the slaughter cattle, and 93 percent of the lambs were finished on grass. About 63 percent of the slaughter hogs were sold when they were "between 5 and 12 months of age at average of 205 pounds. (Josnson notes that these lighter weights are recommended, and have proved more profitable.) About 63 percent of Virginia's lambs were sold when less than 6 months old, at average weight of 85 pounds. Most of the slaughter cattle sold in Virginia were sold by farmers reporting sales of 10 animals or more in 1950. About 314 of the slaughter cattle were sold by 1/4 of the farmers reporting. The same general pattern, though not as pronounced, existed with respect to veal calves and stockers and feeders.

A recently completed 112-day test at VPI Agricultural Experiment Station indicates that the answer is no. „ Dr. G. C. Graf, dairy researcher at the Station, says the question has been discussed pro and con for a long time, but on. the basis of observations, not experimental evidence. The VPI test is believed to. be the first of its kind. In the test, 12 lactating cows wera selected and grouped according to age size, milk production, and stage of lactation. The two groups were fed alike, and each cow received alfalfa hay, corn silage and grain. The only difference in the rations of the two groups was in the land of water consumed. One group .received water as it was pumped from the wells on the. campus. The other group received water from the same source which was softened by the zeolite process in which the calcium and magnesium were removed, and sodium added in their place. The “hard” water was somewhat “harder” than the average housewife wishes for washing clothes and dishes. After the water passed through the zeolite practically no hardness was present. During the 112-day test the average daily feed consumption was 10 lbs. of alfalfa hay, 30 pounds of com silage, and 12 pounds of grain per cow. The cows on “hard” water produced 33 pounds of milk and consumed 97.1 pounds of water daily. The cows on “soft” water produced 33.2 pounds of milk da\y, and consumed exactly the same amount of water. There was a slight difference in the rate of gain in body weight per day between the two groups, but not a significant difference. It could have been due to chance, Dr. Graf said. He concluded: “The results indicate that for the factors studied, and when the water is no “harder” than that used in the test, there is no need of softening the water used for lactating cows.” 2,4-D Kills Honeysuckle Don’t kill honeysuckle indiscriminately—it has some uses. John /»nos, weed specialist at VPI, says that in many locations, honeysuckle prevnts 1 erosion, provides cover for wildlife, and some forage for cattle when little else, is available. Honeysuckle does contain some animab food nutrients; -however, modern forage crops are much superior. To kill honeysuckle along roadsides in front of houses, where it hides a scenic view, and in other undesirable places, Amos suggests using 2,4-"D at the rates suggested on the container. If there are also brambles and small woody bushes in the^area to be cleared, a mixture of 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T will give better results. Be careful when spraying 2,4-D about the home, as the spray may CLASSIFIED ADS Rates: 2c per word first insertion: lc per word each additional; 25c minimum; 25c booking charge if less than'$l In Memoriams, $1 minimum, 50c per inch over 3 inches.

Awards will be in equipment necessary for the furthering of each project based on what each boy already has to work with. 1951-52 winners of the Sears-Roebuck Foundation sponsored pig-chickheifer contest among 4-H club boys Wjgre as follows: 1st Melvin Williams, 2nd Joe Williams, 3rd Herman Williams, 4th Bradley Williams and 5th Randy Settle. Competition was keenest in the five year history of the project in Rappahannock as was evidenced by the final average scorethere was but four points difference between the score of the boy winning first place and that winning fifth! f f These boys were scored last fall by Dave Brower, at that time 4-H livestock specialist of V. P. I., when their gilts were 6-7 months of age and last week by D. D. Miller when pigs were of weaning age. Awards made by Sears-Roebuck Foundation of Atlanta are: 1st $60 towards the purchase of a purebred heifer. 2nd $25 towards establishment of a poultry project of furthering the boys current swine breeding project. Other prizes to be used in a sitnillar manner are $15, $5, and $5. With the similarity of final average scores wq would like to award each boy first place but such are the rules in most any contest. Boys who will compete in the! 1952-53 Sears Roebuck contest are: Glenn Hitt, son of Charlie Hitt of Castleton; Junior Sisk, son of Leej Sisk of Woodville; Billy Menefee, son of Isaac Menefee of Boston; Davie Butler, son of George Butler of Boston; and Junior Frye, son of Carrol ..
