Game Division Warns “Leave Deer Fawni/Alone” Chester Phelps, chief, dl the Commission’s game divisio.i, warned i persons finding young deer fawns in the woods or open fields to “LEAVE THEM ALONE.”. Phelps declared that these helpless _looking fawns are not tost nor- in any danger, other than from the people who thoughtlessly pick them up and carry them away. He said that they are always under the protective care of the adult doe and | wherever the fawn is( found, the doc is nearby. Phelps further warned that, “not only is it against the law to capture 1these fawns, but the Commission ' never issues permits to allow people [ hold them in captivity: The best > thing that a person can do when he j sees a ‘helpless fawn’ is to get out of the area as quickly as possible. “In the last 10 years, and in the hundred of instances where someone picked up a fawn, only one of these instances was justified. This case was when the doe had been killed accidently and the fawn was close to her side,” Phelps said. This warning applies not only to deer, but to bear cubs, mink, rabbits, and every other wild game or furbearing animal.

Soil Conservation Service Technicians working in co-operation with the Culpeper Soil Conservation District delivered the fish from ttve U. S. Department of Interior Hatchery in West Virginia. The fish are granted to ail farmers having developed complete farm plans for soil-water conservation. The ponds must meet construction specifications, however. ■ Farmers in Rappahannock county included L. L,. Voight, Flint Hill; and Clarence Gough, Wash-, ington, each having two ponds. Two species of fish are placed in each ponu on the basis of the size. Large Mouth Bass and Bream (Blue Gills) are the twe species most commonly used. They seem to be the only species that will maintain the proper balance over a period of time. They are placed in the ponds at the ratio of 100 Bass to 1U00 Bream per acre of surface water. For good fish culture it is very necessary that ponds be fertilized at the rate of to 1600 lb. of an $-8-4 or its ekuivalent per acre of surface water each year. The fertilizer should be applted during the period April through October. Fertilizer in the pond produces food for the small fish and in turn the small fish provide the food for the larger/ fish. Fertilizer is also necessary to control the various water plants that are common in most ponds. All kinds of growth or trash are undesirable in a farm pond and should be discouraged. ... I RAPP - OH ATS By: W. H. Lyne County Agent •••HiiamMiianiituiiimamiaiimiMiimiMMiMt MR. FARMER ..... don’t forget to let me know whether you do or do not have heifer calves four to eight • months of age to lie vaccinated against Bangs disease. As of Monday morning replies had been received from 79 land owners, representing only 13% of those written about the program to be conducted next month. Of the seventy-nine reporting- fifty-seven have no heifers to-be—vaeetnated while twenty-twohave a total of one hundred-six heifers. Keep sending in your replies so we can get this job done on schedule and not miss a single heifer to lie kept as a replacement. Twentyfive cents is a small sum to pay for protection against abortions caused by Brucellosis. This is insurance that most every farmer can expect to reap the dividends from. Frequently the best measure for planning the future comes from past experience—just good common sense eh? Well, if our past experience with apple marketing means anything it seems advisable to aim at high quality packaged fruit this fall. My wife says apple sauce cap be bought cheaper than she can make it. . . so t from that can not see much promise in growing by product apples and besides our good clean packed apples sold well during the past marketing season.

Rappahannock News Published Thursday Morning at Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia Dial Washington 2851 LUCY CATHERINE BOWIE Publisher Enter'd as second-class mail matter at the post office at Washington, Virginia. Subscription: —— $2.00 a year Byrd States Facts On F.E.P.C. The following statement has been issued by Senator Harry F. Byrd. Honorable W. Averell Harriman, in a radio broadcast especially for Virginia over Station WMBG, Richmond, Sunday, injected himself into the Virginia primary campaign for nomination to the United States Senate by referring to me.in a manner indicating his disapproval of my reelection. _ . _ Mr. Harriman is a member of the Truman official family in high standing. He is a 100 per cent Trumanite, and evidently he is trying to help his Brother Trumanite, Francis Pickens Miller—another 100 per center—who, on April 1, said: “On every one of the great issues which have confronted him during his administration, the President has made the right decision.” I doubt whether even Senator Humphrey would give a stronger blanket endorsement to Mr. Truman than Francis Pickens Miller did in that statement In his WMBG broadcast to a Virginia audience, Mr. Harriman sa:d the National Democratic Party must “stick to our progressive platform and our progressive policy,” and that in order to do so the next Democratic platform must include, and the Democratic Party, if elected, must pass, a compulsory FEPC. Trumanism is one of the great basic issues between Francis Pickens Miller and me. President Truman has been speaking more kindly of Mr. Harriman than of any of th« other Presidential candidates. As his boss, the President is allowing time, to campaign for the Presidential nomination. The President is pressing hard for a compulsory FEPC. So is Mr. Harriman. What will this mean? If enacted, that proposal will completely destroy the fundamental principles of States Rights. appointed, known as the Fair Employment Practices Commission. It would be another costly, powerful and inquisitorial bureau of the Federal Government empowered to send the strong arm of the national government into the daily transactions PITTS FRONT ROYAL THURSDAY, JUNE 26 BRIAN AHERNE VICTOR McLAGLEN — in — “CAPTAIN FURY” FRI.-SAT., JUNE 27 - 28 GARY COOPER RUTH ROMAN — in — “DALLAS” (Color by Technicolor) SUN. .

Federal inquisitors, appointed by the Commission, under this legislation would have the authority to enter every employer’s place of business, to examine—his—books and papers without processes from court and to search for evidence on which to base charges against him. _If enacted, this proposal would deprive people of their constitutional rights by forcing them to give evidence against themselves. It would provide federally appointed examiners to hear the evidence, and the record could be against the employer in his absence. Fines and imprisonment would be imposed against,any person found to be hindering the operation of the commission in its mission. Thus far this iniquitous legislation has been defeated by Southern Senators and Congressmen. A compulsory FEPC would be tragic for the South and would cancel out the great economic progress the South is now enjoying. Mr. Harriman said he would demand that the Democratic National Convention, next month, adopt a resolution promising prompt enactment of the FEPC, even if means a Southern revolt. Qould it be that Mr. Harriman thinks Mr. Miller, if elected to the Senate, would help him and Mr. Truman in this matter? Or could it be, that the injection of a top flight Truman political associate in the Virginia campaign may be construed to be that Mr. Truman thinks Mr. Miller needs his help? Whatever the situation may be, the fact that the Presidential Candidate most favored by Mr! Truman to date took occasion to criticize my public record in a broadcast to Virginians over station WMBG demonstrates the bitter and relentless determination of those opposing me to accomplish my defeat because I have stood firmly for the principles of States Rights and our Representative Democracy. Mr. and Mrs. P. W. Scudere arrived on Thursday from San Francisco at -the home of Mrs. Scudere’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. D. C. Updike where they will spend several weeks while Mr. Scudere is recuperating from a spell of illness. Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Dudley of Alexandria were Sunday guests of Mrs. E. W. Brown of Washington.

Tyranny in the world didn’t die with po’r old George III—as crazy "as the old fellow was. Tyranny is just getting itself dressed up in fancier language: it's calling itself a government that is responsible for “a chicken in every pot,” “two cars in every garage,” “television arrial on every roof,” “security for every man in hi* old age,” and “fluoridation to prevent tooth decay.” Let’s jump on one of these and roll it around a bit—just for the fun of it. “A chicken in every pot." That’s sorta’ out of date by now, and besides I’m like the young man who was forced to give up his study for the ministry: he didn’t like what he referred to as "gospel bird,” and I’m not overly fond of chicken, either. “Two cars in every garage.” That might be a nice subject to pick on, but a car these days is so temporary. The new model comes out and your— old jalopy is as antique as a horsehair sofa. Each year’s new model is a fancier tin can with a more powerful airplane motor. The cars are beautifully built, but they ain’t foolproof, so people take ’em out on roads that were built for the 1952 models and speeds—and the annual death toll is the answer. Nope, that subject is too unpleasant to enjoy. “Television aerial on every roof.” Since the industry is so young, let’s give it a chance fo grow a bit. At present, some of the programs are a little too infantile to suit most fancy. “Security for every man in his old age.” Don't get me started on that one! If it could be accompanied by the stipulaton that a fellow is supposed to put a little effort on his own part, then it might be viewed slightly more kindly—but only slightly. "Fluoridation to prevent tooth decay.” Some folks say it is good for kid’s teeth, and other folks say it is not. Regardless of whether it’s good or♦ bad, you’re getting back ot those ten amendments which are still referred to as the Bill of Rights, and they guarantee individual inviolability of home and person. The fluoridation of public water supplies forces people to drink diluted rat poison. No one seems to know what difference there is between naturally and artificially fluoridated waters, but ayyn if it were believed harmless to'w^ jhe diluted poison with drinking .water, no governmenti’ Fitts Park THEATRE Front Royal, Virginia THURSDAY, JUNE 26 TONY CURTIS JAN STERLING MONA FREEMAN —in— “Flesh and fury” FRI. - SAT., JUNE 27 - 28 WILL BILD ELLIOTT —in— “THE LONGHORN” SUN.-MON.-TUES., JUNE 29-30 - July 1 MARJORE MAIN PERCY KILBRIDE —in— “MA and PA KETTLE AT THE FAIR” WEDNESDAY, JULY 2 JEFF CHANDLER ALEX NICOL — in — “The RED BALL EXPRESS” THURS.-FRI.-SAT., JULY 3-4-5 JOHN LUND <JEFF CHANDLER — in — “THE BATTLE AT APACHE PASS” (Filmed in Technicolor) has the constitutional right to prescribe medical treatment of the people through the drinking water, certainly not without their express and adequate prior approval. There are claims, too serious to be ignored, that 'fluorine accumulating bodies of adults, and even of child rep, is a possible cause of increased deaths from heart disease, nephritis, and a possible stimulant to the growth of cancer, along with other effects not yet clearly discerned or determined. The American Medical Association has admitted that not enough is yet known of the effects of fluorines on adults to make positive statements concerning those effects. In the meantime, some of us figure that no government has legal or moral right to make guinea pigs out of citizens through wholesale medication. The Bill of Rights still gives us the privilege of some decision as to what we wish to do— even if it hurts us.

We observed his birthday on the Fourth by taking him to the only celebration in his town—a baseball game. And Dad was overflowing with memories as he looked back into a long yesterday. “When I was a youngster,” he said, “the Fourth of July was a great day for us. If you lived on a farm, you knew what it meant. You got up very early and got the chores done, —and—father got the team out and hitched them to the farm wagon. In the wagon there was some hay and a box of oats and a box of dinner, and the whole family. And we drove to the grove where an all-day celebration was held. And there were firecrackers and lemonade, a brass band and pounding feet on the old dance floor. ’ _ “The ceremonies themselves always began with a prayer.from the minister. He told the Almighty everything that had happened since the last 4th of July, and told Him what to do until the next came around. Then somebody read the Declaration of Independence and finally the orator •of the day came out. “He was usually a lawyer from the city—and a Republican. He wore gray-striped trousers and a long Prince Albert coat. He had a hardboiled white shirt and a colar so high he had to jump to spit over it. “He told about America, how it reaches from snow-capped mountains of Canada to the sun-kissed waters of the Gulf of Mexico; from the stormy Atlantic to the peaceful Pacific. And in his enthusiasm he would point to us boys standing on one side and predict that one of us would some day be President of the United States. Then he always concluded with: Thou, too, sail on, oh ship of state; said on, oh union, strong and great.' And when he finally stopped everybody said it was a great speech. “It was as empty as a brass drum. There wasn’t one idea in the whole thing. It was full of uhe cheapest platitudes of Daniel Webster—but it had one quality. It had quality of faith in the country, an unlimited belief in the capacity of the folks out there in that great farm belt who ■worked in the fields. And when we went away, we did so with feeling that we lived in a country which was the greatest in the w'orld and in which the hardworking farm boy had as much opportunity as anybody, if he had any character. “Everybody felt that when they saw the flag it meant something—it Be sure you FUSSELLS ICE CREAM FLttSELL-YOUNG ICE CREAM COMPANY Culpeper, Virginia REAL ESTATE W.

DAVIS STREET — In GEEST BUILDING CULPEPER, VIRGINIA V .- - FARM WOODLANDS * William C. Vernam, Forester Are the leaves of your Sycamore trees turning brown and dropping from the tree? Are the trees nearly devoid of leaves and look as though they are dying? If your Sycamores have these symptoms* do not be too alarmed as the trees are not dying and probably won’t die even though they look mighty bad at the present time. Sycamore trees with these symptoms are suffering from a leaf and twig blight known as “anthracnose” which is quite prevalent in Virginia this year. This fungal disease is wide spread in the eastern United States attacking both the leaves and smaller twigs of Sycamore. “Anthracnose” appears1 in the spring and it seems to be encouraged by wet weather. The leaves and growing tips of the twigs usually brown and die as they emerge from the bud and this stage of the disease is often confused with the late frost injury. The leaves usually develop brown spots along the veins which rapidly enlarge into dead areas causing the leaves to curl up and finally drop from the tree. Infected trees may lose their entire crop of leaves and remain bare until a second crop is produced later *in the summer. Small twigs are killed by a canker which forms on twigs tip to one inch in diameter. Generally the disease is not fatal although it may kill a young tree or weaken a tree to such a degree that it becomes prey to insect attack and other diseases. No practical control has been devised for forest trees. Control measures for shade trees consist of pruning the infected twigs and then burning the dead leaves and twigs. Spraying with a bordeaux mixture may help but the spray must be applied just after the buds have opened and the leaves are half grown. Sprays applied when the leaves are beginning to turn,^brown are of little use. ! *1 Sew Your Own i_' HOT WEATHER CLOTHES - AN!)
