VOLUME 3—NUMBER 38 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY, JULY 24, 1352 Vi .00 PER YEAR School Board Selects Three * Teachers Por Coming Yew At the regular meeting of Rappahannock County School Board Wednesday, July 16, the appointment of three teachers for next (school session was announced. These new teachers are Mrs. W. L. Wake, who will teach at Woodrille; and Mi;, and Mrs. Donald groseclose, who will teach shop and the eighth grade. Mrs. W. L. Wake, whose home is now in Washington, was formerly a teacher in the Amissville school (Miss Lauck, of Front Royal). /" ■Mr. and Mrs. Groseclose, formerly of Radford, are temporarily at the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Winfrey, until they secure an apartment at the home of Mrs. D. B. Smith, about September 1. There are still three vacancies in the high school faculty to be filled. The School Board also passed a resolution prohibiting the future use of school grounds for carnivals. This resolution followed complaints from citizens as well as studies of 'sanitation conditions connected with the use of school grounds for such purposes. The name of Groseclose is not native to Rappahannock, and with two families of that name arriving in the county within a short time, there was some confusion when the names of the netw teachers were first announced. Mr. and Mrs. Elgin Groseclose purchased “Trianon," the property west of Robert Mercer Menefee’s “San Jacinto,*' near Covington River on the Washington-Sperryille road. This family of Grose* oses has just returned from Teeran. Mr. and Mrs. Donald Groseclose Are the new teachers in the high school. He teaches shop classes, while Mrs. Groseclose will have * "Charge of the eighth grade and ' probably some .departmentalized sections of other high school grades. r AmissviUe Fire Company |6enefit Supper Friday !

The sup; per will be held over the firehouse in Washington. An unofficial spokesman for the women declared: “We ladies of the auxiliary want to help Amissville put across this fire company. They need money badly. I underj stand they have only about $200 J in the treasury. > “Amissville has had two bad , fires already this year and cer_Jainly needs a fire company.

Lyne have. arranged the program of he 1952 Four-State Farm Tour, being held Friday, August 8. at the Middleburg Branch of VPI’s Experimental Station. They believe all of the Tour features will be of great interest and value to dairy and beef farmers of this area. Among the local men_ active in planning the ‘52 Farm Tour were: C. C. Zinn of Washington and Maurice O’Bannon of Woodville. The '52 Tour will be held at Middleburg, about *30 miles southeast of Winchester, on U- S. Route 50. Here, a series of tests are being conducted covering a wide range of grasses and methods of the applications of fertilizers. These tests are just beginning to show results. Middleburg Station tests include grass mixtures for the grazing of ■Loth beef and dairy cattle mixtures for the making of hay and silage, and some for all three—grazing, hay and In addition, tests are l>eing made as to the use of fertilizers with the grasses. Various mixtures of fertilizers, the amount used per acre, the times and methods of application, are being tested. Tests are also being made to show how well different grasses are liked by the animals and how this may effect their production of milk or beef. According to Herman Stockslager, president of the Four-State Farmers’ Committee, many of he varieties of grasses being tested at Middieburg are common on local * grass farms. The results being shown in these tests may bring higher beef and milk productivity to farmers in this region and all are urged to get first-hand information at Middleburg on August 8, the day of the 1952 Four-State Farm Tour.

County Agent A tour of the Piedmont Experiment Station at Orange by Rappahannock farmers is being, planned for Monday, July 28. Those making the tour will assemble at the Court House in Washington by not later than 8:30 a.m. time of departure. Indications are that a goodly unmber of our farmers will attend, however, it is hoped Rappahannock will exceed or at least equal the delegation from Culpeper (62) who recently studied the experiments being conducted. Some of the things of importance particularly to Rappahannock are: varietal tests of Orchard grass and alfalfa as well as ferilization rates and analysis, pasture studifes, fertilization rates in rotation, chemical weed control etc. Come along, this will help tremendously to keep up with new facts in agriculture being through research. _ __ Tlie Institute of Rural Affairs will be held at Blacksburg Jhly 30-31 and August 1. Cost will be $1 per nite for lodging, meals 60c each with a $1.50 registration iee. Contact me if you’d like to go along Mr. Farmer. I am sure it will be well worth your while. Some of the high-lights of this year’s Institute are; As in years past, they will have their choice of three sessions each morning to attend—economics, youth, and family life. Evening speakers will be: Dr. R. F.Chandler, president of the University of New Hampshire, on Thursday, July 31; and Senator A. E. S. Stephens, veteran legislator from Smithfield, on Friday, August 1. Dr. Chandler will discuss the general theme of the Institue “The LandGrant College Serves the People.” (See RAPP-CHATS Page 8) Revercomb Boys Receive ftratse -' Trio Motor Sales, prominent Used Car Dealers and Sinclair Service Station operators located on Lee Highway about 2 miles west of Kamp Washington has achieved a noteworthy degree of* well deserved success since the inception of the business here on February 1, 1949 at which time it was opened for business by the friendly and congenial brothers Russel S., Clyde A., and L. Nelson Revercomb. The firm has been an important asset and a vital factor in the continued growth and development of all of Northern Virginia and is numbered among the most highly regarded and reliable business concerns in this section enjoying the full confidence of a large and ever increasing patronage. The Sinclair Service Station adjoining the Used Car sales lot ■was opened in A u g u st of 1950 and is completely equipped with the latest and most modern facilities for Lubrication, Car Washinf, Minor repairs, and other outstanding Sinclair Services. The Service Station and Used Car lot with a frontage of 200 ft. on Lee Highway and 200 ft. in depth is one of the most attractive locations between Washington and Richmond. The Revercomb boys were born in Rappahannock County, Virginia and have been residents of this area for the past four years. Clyde and Nelson Revercomb the later of whom has been employed by the U. S. Department of Agriculture for the past several years are both veterans of World War II. Both attained the rank of Sergeant and both are members of the American Legion and VFW. It is a pleasure to include this brief resume of ,the Trio Motor Sales in this Historical Survey and to wish the friendly Revercomb brothers many more years of continued success. —Guoted from Fairfax Journal.

Tuck’s keynote address at the Roanoke State Democratic Convention Thursday, July 17, is reprinted here because only parts of it appeared in the Richmond papers. »Tis the opinion that all of it is too excellent to miss, and that school children will do well to study the facts while the parents can reaffirm their faith in the Commonwealth and some of the fine leaders with which the Old Dominion is blessed.) “We assemble today under the proud and untarnished name of Virginia Democracy. We meet with unfurrowed brow, unashamed and unafraid, because the long and illustrious history of our people, running back to the very foundation of the republic, has been free of moral defilement. We meet in th confident and comforting knowledge that Virginia Democracy has kept the faith, has fought a good fight, and whether or not the battle is won, has continued to stand inflexibly for those imperishable principles of liberty so firmly established on the virgin soil of our 'Commonwealth. “We have cast out from our presence those evil influences which would infringe upon our liberties, while others have succumbed to these same lethal ele ments by failure to examine and analyze their true nature and paralyzing effects. We have passed untouched the odorous fleshpots proffered by ubiquitous Federal officeholders for consumption by political rapscallions who have dragged the hitherto unblemished name of our party through a mire of corruption and immorality until the nation itself nears the brink of disaster. We can take courage in the knowledge that we did not yield to the blandishments of these traducers. We exult because our transgressions have been few and because the Democrats of Virginia have not been destitute of those qualities of mind and character which enable them to resist such tormenting minions of vice and veaality. . “WE CAN BO^ST, too that, despite the trying ordeal of these years of punishment, we have furnished and maintained in the clean and invigorating atmosphere of PITTS FRONT ROYAL THUR. - FRI., JULY 24 - 25 LARAINE DAY CARY GRANT — in — “MR.

We have declined to abdicate to a group of would-be usurpers whose insatiable appetite for power already has sapped the strength of the national government. “We have preserved the sacred rights of individual citizens.

Any man in Virginia can engage in his lawful occupation without fear of being compelled to submit to the whim of ruthless tyrants. “Interference from Washington and elsewhere has not prevented us from promoting the public safety and protecting the public interest.. There has not been, and I predict there will not be,any interruption of essential public utility service in Virginia.

TUCK (•Continued from page 2) “Our people have the vigor and determination to preserve our liberties and the fundamental con cepts of the republic. We have been singularly free of unscrupulous politicians who promote and foster popular prejudice to gain and hold office, influence and poweri “The white and Negro races of Virginia have lived together jn peace, harmony, and understanding for more than three hundred years—longer than any other place in the Western Hemisphere. They will continue to do so, if left free from the extraneous and unwarranted interference of the Humphreys, the Harrimans and their ilk who know nothing of the Negro and care less except to use him. as a vehicle upon which to ride into high public offfice. v “There has not been a death by lynching in Virginia since the passage of the Byrd anti-lynch law in 1328. This indefensible crime is all but extinct in the South—the incontrovertible and final answer to continued agitation for Federal anti-lynch laws. “Our government is efficient and economical and clean. “We enjoy the benefits of a conservative welfare program, adequate public parks and recreation areas in our Commonwealth. “Improvement in appropriations to our public school system has more than kept pace with the rest of the states of the nation. During the four years of my term as Governor, the appropriations from state funds for the public school system totaled more than a 122million dollars. Thjs represented an increase of more than 52-million dollars, or approximately 75% over the period 1942-1946. “This increase alone lar exceeds th entire appropriation for public schools for the four years 1938 to 1942. The administration of my distinguished successor, Governor John S. Battle has been marked by the largest increases in appropriations to public education in the history of the state. Aside from $75,000,000 to aid the localities in school building construction, funds allocated by the General Assembly for public school purposes now total almost $100,000,000 each -two years. “Our public health and hospital facilities have been vastly improved. “Our highway and bridge system is unsurpassed. We have more than 49,000 miles of highways constructed at a cost of approxi— mately $900 million dollars, and for which Virginia does not owe one farthing. v “VIRGINIA HAS been able to discharge all of her governmental functions in a highly acceptable and commendable manner. We have adequately met the needs and demands of our people on current revenues at a reasonably low per capita tax rate. Our land taxes are the lowest, according to true value, of any other state in the Union, except one. “We have no state debt. Virginia operates under the system of a balanced budget. “All this and more we have been able to do despite the fact that Virginia was the battleground } of the War Between the States, which left her prostrate, the lands and fields impoverished, her resources exhausted, and her manpower depleted. Yet the fields which ran red with blood of her valorous people in April 18&5 were rich with a teeming harvest in September. Our people were in pain and hunger and in the most destitute and necessitious circumstances, and without tools and the instruments and means with which to work. We did not have the benefit of any Marshall Plan. Neither did we have Social Security nor public relief. We had only the will and the determination produced in adversity, to combine our hardy characteristics of independence and self-reliance for the mutual good. “Tbu», despite the eaormoni handicaps and the molestations' of the Carpetbaggers and Scalawags, we recovered our strength and re• turned to a position of economic and governmental leadership in the sisterhood of states. “The experience of the 1860’s had a lasting influence on the character and determination of our people, as reflected in this assemblage today. The kind of Democrats who are responsible for the conditions we now enjoy in Virginia are oldfashioned Democrats, so old-fashioned that they believe in economy and honesty in government; so old fashioned that "they “believe in paying their debts; so old-fashioned that they have clung to the teachings of Democrats who believed in the fundamental principles of liberty—such , as Thomas Jefferson, who believed ‘that government is best which governs least’; Andrew Jackson, who paid off the public debt during his administration; Grover Cleveland, who Affirmed it ‘the duty of the people to support the government, not the government the people’; that great Virginian, Woodrow Wilson, whose sound domestic policies were overshadowed by his unsuccessful effort to lead the world into peace; another wise and farsighted Virginian, the late United tates Senator Carter Glass; and still another great Virginian, our senior United States Senator, Harry Flood Byrd. “SENATOR BYRD, straining against the flood of federal profligacy through the years, many times has stood alone to save the bulwarks of our national solvency by individual determination and patriotic dedication to principles of sound government. '“Senator Byrd has opposed opening the coffers of the Federal treasury to the wastrels and the squanderers who already have debauched our currency and who would not hesitate to sacrifice the American people for their own selfish gain. He has stood for the solidarity and integrity of America and has resisted the venal influences which have enveloped the halls of our central government. He has had the courage to vote his convictions and has not sue cumbed to the pompous and arrogant Lilliputian leadership which has descended upon Washington, and which if allowed to remain in power, will result in the utter destruction of much, if not all, that we as American citizens cherish and hold dear. His only master has been his own conscince and the best interest of the American people. He has fostered the fundamental principles of our Founding Fathers. He has opposed to the full extent of his ability the spurious emanations from Washington bureaucracy. In the early days of this political orgy, he did not hestiate to defend singlehandedly the sacred principles of government established on the soil of Virginia, that pure and undefiled Americanism which we shall ever nurture with tenderness and care. “When Harry Byrd began this fight, it was not a popular one. We hear now much about his “voting with the Republicans.'’ He did not vote with them then nor did they with him. What few Republicans were left either vanished or ran to cover, with our valiant Senator fighting the- battle alone with his customary patriotic zeal and determination. So successful has he .been, that well may we say in the language of the patriarch: ‘The stone which the builders rejected, the same has become the head of the corner.’ "We cannot deal here in polite language and evasive phrase. The hour is too late. The stakes are too high. Easy diplomacy and kid glove politics will not do. We-Jy^yc no place for political cowards. We must lead our country from dark* ness into light, from great sin to ffr*at virtues, from crime to righteousness, from insane extrava* gance to sensible frugality, and from political frailty to exemplary principal and honorable purpose. Nothing less will do. The National Democratic Party as at present constituted, cannot long endure. Its very vitals^ have been eaten awgy by an insidious rot, foisted **• I* by politically ruthless, unprincipled and conscienceless men, more concerned with winning elections and a distribution of favors than with preserving a system of T free government without peer in recorded history. It is an unparalleled heritage that these * men would sacrifice at the altar of political greed and venality, a heri tage we enjoy because our valiant forebears willed it to us by the dint of faith, sacrifice and service. “From the high principles and standards of Jefferson, Jackson, Cleveland, and Wilson and from these lofty human endeavors the National Democratic Party has i)een plunged into a dismaT abyss by the usurpers of its hallowed name. Never before has so much power rested in such impotent and palsied hands; never before has the civilized world been so cursed and afflicted. “Not only the South, but the country as a whole, virtually has been sold into Socialism by the architects of Democratic doom who have traded our party principles for a mess of Pendergast pottage. The South has been humiliated and vilified. The American people have been oppressively taxed, restricted, regulated, and regimented. The Federal debt, already astronomical, is augmented daily, despite the greatest tax burden in our peacetime history. “The so-called Fair Employment Practices Commission — the diabolical FEPC—is but one sample of the vehicles by which the vote hungry, power-crazed scavengers of our party seek to ride into office at the expense of constitutional government and honest, law abiding citizens. Those who conceived and agitated this scheme have no interest in the welfare of the citizens of this country; their purpose is to kowtow to pressure groups and minority blocs whose strategically placed vote may elevate some unprincipled politician to public office. It is of no concern to such ambitious purveyors of falsehood that in so doing they may abrogate the remaining liberties of the American people. “So intoxicated has the present national administration become with its assumed powers that only recently, without the remotest statutory or constitutional authority, it seized one of our greatest industries in the name of the government and prepared to enforce wage and working conditions dictated by political confederates, the czars of ‘Big Labor.’ The American people can give fervant thanks to God that the Supreme Court of the United States, in a monumental decision, saved them for the time being from the tyranny of a governmental collossus, a vast bureaucracy grown fat, wasteful, corrupt, and arrogant tunder the leadership of a Pendergast machine politician. “OUR POSITION in international affairs has been compromised. The bungling at Yalta and Potsdam, with our State Department being advised by fellow travelers, did not constitute error enough; our long-time friends, the Chinese, were then delivered into —the hands-of the Communists. Finally, our desperate attempt to recapture our lost position in Asia, brought armed intervention to prevent the Communist rape of South Koi*ea. That hideously costly and bloody stalemate now remains a fearful and enormous riddle which only the wisest and calmest mind's can possibly solve. “Where can we, as Americans and Democrats, turn in these perilous times for the moral and political leadership which can-guide us into paths of. individual and governmental sanity and rectitude? Where is the American spirit of old that knew no compromise with perfidy, evil, or treason? “The Sputh, through kuch statesmen as Senator Byrd and a great array of other patriotic, conscientious senators and congressmen, has fought steadfastly for the principles of good government. They are those Who have sought to continue the Democratic party as the party of the people, rather than the party of labor barons, the pressure groups, the big city machines, the shiftless and something-for-nothing boys who Would peddle the honor of *their government for pap from the public trough. “These great and loyal men of Virginia and the South, the birthplace and stronghold of the Deni ocratic party, are those who have fought through the years for the future of the principles embodied in this alliance of men and women, who believe in free government and individual rights. "I urge this convention to larm those who ore to represent us at the National Convention with the support and wholehearted backing that will make them an influence far out of proportion to their number; and I pray that our dele* gation will be joined by others, sufficient in character and vigor, to return the Democratic Party to its rightful place and to the paths of our forebears. “I say to the purveyors and practitioners of those spurious doctrines which now threaten to engulf us that we will not be fettered and enchained. We will not servilely genuflect to ‘Trumanism’ and ‘Fair Deal ism.’ We will not be suppressed by iniquitous FEPC acts, the unrestrained tyranny of union bosses, or the wanton profligacy of governmental, wastrels. We will not be driven in the full embrace of socialism, nor its Russian counterpart, Communism. We will not capitulate, nor give quarter to any foe of Americanism and free institutions, whether he seeks to cloak himslef in the raiment of a Democrat or a Republican. We shall battle for right and high principle in the counties and the cities, on the roads and highways, on the creek banks and the branch heads, in the convention halls and wherever else injusticeand ...evil .raise their j&ada^ “THIS CONVENTION must prepare itself to wage this all-important crusade to the finish. By proper action before recessing today, it is essential that the delegates here assembled be assured of the opportunity of reconvening if necessary, after the Chicago convention to take such further steps as may be in order for the protection, first of all, of the basic American principles and traditions so dear to all of us; and, secondly, "forcratic Party of Virginia. “In this endeavor, we shall not stand alone. There are friends and neighbors throughout our Southland of similar mind and like determination. Together, we will stand upon the ramparts of liberty and hold high, for all the nation to see, the banner of genuine Democracy. “The flag of our country has never trailed in the humiliating dust of defeat. The spirit of our people here in Virginia and the South oft has been trampld but never broken. We cannot fail our flag or our heroes of this and other generations who have given their blood for our liberty, and for the freedom of all Americans.” FUSSELLS ICECREAM Checks are fashion $13.95 first in seersucker ^ now Check our tub-happy, wearable wonder for now and later... the perfect suiter for your important occasions f You'll love the belted jacket, with cavalier cuffed sleeves and mock tab pockets... softly skirted for walking ease.

As the season progresses, home maxers are canning ana ireezing garden produce to preserve for the seasons of scarcity. With the home freezer and locker plant in Sperryville you can bring your garden freshness to your family table all year long. Freezing gives you a bright color, fresh flavor and most of the vitamins values of fresh vegetables and fruit. Frozen foods keep for months5 because organism that cause spoilage are inactive at 0 degrees F. temperature at which frozen foods are stored. Since freezng does not destroy these organism, they become more active as the temprature rises. Therefore frozen foods lose quality and may spoil soon after _they are thawed. By carefully following modern methods for preparing and packaging you can successfully freeze most fruits and vegetables. Food that comes out of the locker won’t be any better than the food you put in. Best for freezing are firm, well ripened fruits and vegetables, tender vegetables right from . the orchard and garden. Wash food thoroughly in clean water and drain. Sort according to size.. Peel, trim and slice. Prepare foods as for cooking or as served at the table. Some light colored fruits need special treatment to prevent darkening. For example to prevent this is to let fruit stand in citric acid solution . : (1/4 teaspoon citric acid to 1 qt. water) for one or two minutes before packing in syrup or sugar. For all vegetables except green peppers the dry pack is satisfactory^ —-amHess Trouble.' Green peppers are best packed in weak salt solution (1 teaspoon salt to 1 cup water.) Scald before packing. Scalding lessons the action of emzynes present. Scalding also brightens the color and softens the vegetables making them easier to pack. Afer scalding chill food quickly and thoroughly by immersng in ice water. You’ll find cardboard containers and moisture proof bags to go in— side them. These will keep food from drying out; they come in i pint, pint * and quart sizes. All easy to store. Label and date every package ; never keep a package more than 8-12 months. From USDA bulletin, freezing fruits and vegetables, with the following suggestions: Lima beans—blanch shelled young beans 2 minutes; mature 3 minutes. Snap beans—wash; leave whole or cut in pieces. Blanch 2-3 minutes; chill; pack. Broccolli—cut off large leaves and tough stalks. Wash well and soak heads down in salted water (4t. salt to 1 gal. cold water)' 4 hour then planch 4 minutes, chill and pack. Brussell Sprouts—same as broccolli.

Tivis Wicker, Vocalist, At Avon Mills In August -4 > V 4 The Old 'Dominion’s scenic ibeauty will receive a melodic fillip again this August when the Blue Ridge Music Festival begins it’s second season of Sunday afternoon concerts in the sylvan glen of Avon Mills just out of Washington. The Blue Ridge Music Center will present a series of four regular concerts and two bonus attractions each August Sunday afternoon at 4:00 (EST). A cool “pause for culture” for motorists and a must for music lovers, this season’s festival iwill offer Sunday holidayits a variety of music programs that ’includes two full scale Virginia Symphony Orchestra concerts, a piano recital by Conductor-P i a n i s t William Haaker and a vocal concert spotlighting the baritone talents of Tivis Wicker. In addition to this musical choice, visitors to the Sunday festival programs will also be treated to open air art exhibits featuring the work of both Old Dominion and District of Columbia artists plus picnic facilities. ~ Avon Mills, site of the concerts, is the pre-Revolutionary gristmill which was converted into an orchestra shell for these programs last season. It’s loading level has been turned into a stage and the audience is seated in a cool, well shaded amphitheatre of natural beauty.

Social Secority News About 100 people in Rappahannock County will receive higher social securty payments as a result of the amendments which President Truman signed into law last Friday. The first increased checks will be for the month of September, delivered early in October. Miss Henrietta Mode, field representative of the Alexandria social security office, emphasized that no one needs to apply for the increased payments. “The Social Security Administration is already changing the amounts,” she pointed out. “We expect to get them changed in time to have in the mail October 3, the regular delivery date, but if in a few cases we don’t meet that schedule we’ll send the regular check and make up the difference in a later check.” Miss Mode pointed out that although nearly every family receiving payments would receive an increase, the additional amount would not always be divided among all the members of the family receiving monthly, checks. In some cases he entire increase will go to the retired worker. Under terms of the law, most families will get an increase of about $5 some will get less, some will, get more. A few benefits now being paid and most of those payable in the future, will be based on earnings after 1950 instead of after 1936. The amended law provides a new formula for determining the amount of payments in these cases. Under it, a retired worker’s monthly benefit would be 55% of the first $100 of two 'Virginia Symphony Orchestra concerts will occupy the music bill-of-fare for August 24. The final program of the current season of open air concerts will spotlight the State Symphony, under the baton of' William Haaker, on August 31. his average mohthly earnings plus 15% of the remainder up to $300. Beginning September 1, the new law increased to $75 a month, instead of $50 the amount of money a beneficiary may earn and still receive the monthly benefits. Self-employed people entitled to dld-age and survivors insurance benefits may receive the payment for each month of the year if their net earnings during the entire year are not over $900.

Volunteers Needed For Ground Observer Corps ■Governor Battle has issued a call for volunteers to help man the Ground Observer Corps in Virginia, an important link in the nation’s air defense system. The Governor emphasized that the Ground Observers are bridging ing one major gap in the nation’s defense by reporting low flying planes, which cannot be picked up by the radar system. He also quoted this statement from representatives of the Department of Defense with reference to the need for a 24-hour operation: “For the past two years, other elements of the air defense system, that is the Ground ■Radar Stations, and the Fighter Interceptor Aircraft, have been h operating on a continuous 24hour basis. During this period, Army anti-aircraft artillery has been positioned around some., of our major cities on the same alert basis. The final link in our defense is the Ground Observer 'Corps. When this element is brought to full operational capacity, all elements of our air defense system will be continuously operational. If the Ground Observer Corps had been well enough organized and trained two years ago, the Air Force would have requested that it be placed on full time duty at that time. “The threat of atomic attack against the^ major cities and industries of this country is a real one. Our military estimate is that the Russians have over 400 long range atomic bombers of the TU-4 type, similar to our B-29’s, which they can launch against this country at any time. These aircraft, loaded with atomic and conventional bombs, have the capacity of releasing these bombs into all of our major cities. Flying time for this type of aircraft between the USSR bases and their targets in the I United States in most cases is ap\ proximately 12 hours.” “We cannot afford to take any . canoes, and the cooperation of I many hundreds of our citizens is H needed to bridge this gap in our defense. Here in Virginia, we have ‘been unable to operate all of our ground observation posts and adequately man the Filter Center positions because of insufficient vol Farm Tonr To Be Held At Middlebnrg August 8 - The 1952 Four-State Farm Tour to be held Friday, August 8, at the Middleburg Branch of VPI’s Experimental Station, approximately 30 miles, southeast of Winchester, on U.S. Route 50, will feature important tests , being conducted in the various major phases of grass farming. At this relatively new test farm, given to VPI by the Mellon family of Pittsburgh, answers are being developed for the many problems involved in grass farming that affect all farmers who are using grass as a major feed for either dairy or beef cattle. Results of the Station’s tests are of increasing importance to farmers of this area because they are accurately measured while only observational values are made by the farmers on their own farms. The soil, climate and topography of the Four-State Tour site are similar to those in this area. Thus, farmers may see experiments being conducted under conditions similar to those on their own land. At the Middleburg Experimental Station, studies are being made on all types of silage grasses, hay grasses and pasture mixtures. Those attending the Tour will be able to see these experiments in their initial stages; later they are unteers. Posts throughout Eastern and Northern. Virginia are included in the current 24-hour operation and volunteer^ are particularly needed in these areas, as well as in other sections of the State. “I feel confident that we can count upon the people of Virginia to render this necessary service; and I urge all those who possibly can do so to make themselves available as members of the Ground Observer Corps. This can be done simply by contacting the local Civil Defense Coordinator, or the supervisor of the nearest Ground Observation post. Many hundred men and women are participating in this activity and we are deeply grateful for this patriotic, unselfish service. I am sure many others will join them in strengthening the nation’s defenses.” J.E.KEYSER- REAL ESTATE Associated with Pentagon Real Estate Company Fairfax, Virginia IF YOU THINK NO ONE WANTS IT LET ME TRY TO SELL IT Telephone u Washington, Va. 2551 i .<ke ttsjbf 1949, PLYMOUTH 4-door Sedan • 1941 * PLYMOUTH Coupe 1941 CHEVROLET 2-door Sedan 1941 CHRYSLER 4-door Sedan 1940 CHEVROLET 2-door Sedan RUSSELL BROS., INC CHRYSLER Sales Service PLYMOUTH CALL WASHINGTON 2575 Flint Hill, Va.: Rente 522 New Traffic Laws Being Emphasized Thousands of Virginia’s visitors by motor car are receiving as they enter the State a leaflet outlining numerous changes in Virginia’s traffic laws that became law on July 1.

VPI officials have made he Middleburg Station available as a “source of continuing information” for those interested from this section. Experienced Middleburg Station personnel will be on hand throughout the Tour to answer questions concerning the various tests being conducted. Herman Stockslager,N president of the Four-State Farmers’ Committee, stated this week that the 1952 Tour should be one of the “most beneficial and instructive ever held.” President Stockslager said that the value of the Tour will not only come on Tour day, but in the future as local farmers make use better their own management Of grasses for hay, silage and pas-' ture. eral passenger car speed limit to 55 miles an hour but also authorized the suspension of drivers licenses for ten days in cases of first conviction for speeding more than five miles faster than the legal limit in areas where the legal limit is 4-5 miles per hour or more. For second convictions within the year a sixty day suspension of driving license is mandatory. The limit for trucks has been reduced to 46 miles per hour. “No trooper wants to arrest a visitor or anyone else, but rather to prevent accidents", according to a statement by the State Commission on Conservation and Development, “he will help any motorist in trouble to the fullest extent but the 999 dead of 1951 call for no pampering of lawbreakers.

Battle, Governor of Virginia, has again proclaimed, “Natural Resources Conservation Week,” to be held the week of October 19. All of the twenty-three Soil Conservation Districts in Virginia will sponsor various activities during the week. The supervisors of the Culpeper District are now making plans for contests, tours and generally outlining their program for the entire week. The Culpeper Soil Conservation District comprises the counties of Culpeper Rappahannock, Orange,, Madison and Greene. Several Culpeper County farmers are asking advantage of the dry soil conditions by /constructing open ditches in normally wet areas by means of a bulldozer. Where conditions are favorable land can be drained with bulldozer constructed ditches cheaper than with a dragline. Those farmers having participated in the drainage program this week include New'ton Lindsey of Brandy, J C. Geil of Raccoon Ford and Mrs. Ellen Burton of Brandy. Soil Conservation Service Technicians working in cooperation with the Culpeper Soil Conservation District—assisted the farmers in the location and design of the drainage systems. This week is “National Farm Safety Week.” During this week everyone is being asked to recognige and eliminate the various hazzards around the farm that cause accidents. Approximately 1,500,000 farm folks received lost time or fatal injuries last year in the United States. This is a serious and costly threat to our agriculture:-Do youi pai t^=effminatc hazards that are responsible for most of the injuries on your farm.

OHIO the ram sale held Monday at Winchester by the Virginia Purebred Sheep Breeders Association. Prices were from a third to half of what they were last year. Undoubtedly the heat kept a number of buyers away because the sheep business, though somewhat off from what it was a year ago, is still good. While your writer did not see every sheep sold . . . we missed a few while trying to contact some Rappahannock sheep owners via telephone . . . here is the way they sold: Top price $133.00 for Champion Hamp ram bred by Bob Sharp of The Plains . . . average price 26 Hamp rams $67.40; five Dorsets averaged $36.70; 3 Southdowns $61.60; 10 Shrops $45.00; Suffolks $79.50, and the only Corriedale we saw sold fetched but $32.50. With these averages you can readily surmise that several nice registered yearling rams brought little more than an early spring lamb did last May. John McCl$naghan, who lives at the home of hie aunt, Mrs. D. B. Smith, near Massie’s Corner, reports he has several Hamp rams to sell. These rams are located on the Witherow place formerly owned by Morgan Johnston. John obtained his foundation stock from Bob Sharp, breeder of the Champion Hampshire at VVinchester, and from the late John A. Keyser.
