$2.00 PER YEAR VOLUME 3—NUMBER 40. WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 7, 1952 j* Fire Destroys Barn Friday OnJLtyle Miller Farm During an electrical storm, about 11 p.m. Friday night, a large horse and hay bam on the farm of D. Lyle Miller, Jr., was destroyed by fire. The barn, struck by lightning, ignited so quickly, according to a neighbor, that if the fire companies had been on the scene they could not have saved it. When the two fire companies, i Jsperryville and Rappahannock, Responded to the call, they found the fire had gained so much headway it was impossible to save anything. , No livestock was in the barn at the time. Mr. Miller had just finished filling the bam with hay and had taken out insurance on the contents that day. In addition to the hay a large amount of harness and other articles were .destroyed. Record Rainfall Hits Washington, Tuesday Registered 4.98 inches of rain fell Tuesday evening in less than half an hour between 5:80 and 6 • o’clock. The town of Washington witnessed sheets of rain that obscured vision like a heavy fog. D. C. Updike was at his barn when the rain began. His family - became concerned about him, but couldn't reach him in a car beoause the small stream between the house and barn had him marooned. His son-in-law, Pete Scudere, donned a bathing suit and • waded the stream to find~lfrr-Updike safe on an island in the barn. Can backed up for several hundred yards when a small stream near Mac's Place turned across the highway.Lightning did same fancy spitting and popping about transformers and light poles. The lights in bouse* went off on, and aev, oral families had cold supper when r* electric stoves went out for about an hour. \ A tree came down in the highway near Wayland’s Service Station. A man was seen, in the blinding rain, removing the large wood from the highway for, being just over the brow of a hill, a motorist "-could not have seen it in time to prevent a wreck. Cars were parked on the highway when drivers realized they could not see sufficiently to drive. The rain was most welcome, following the recent dry spell, but, as some hove commented, iwe can take it easier in smaller doses and more often. Neighboring counties received a rain, but not the heavy rain that fell in Rappahannock. Bradley Atkins says ** they don’t pay the preacher a* well as we do in Rappahannqpk and that's why they don’t get the rain when they need it. ; lyt '^ccord‘nS to Bill Lyne, who got ^ tied up in a mess of higher ^.thematics, a 4.98-inch rain put i 35,227.9 gallons of water per ♦ere. He also stated that if you ♦rant to know how many pounds •of iwater that is* you can multiply by 8-and-a-third I ; „The official 4.98 reading is the largest in many a day. Miss Ituby Jenkins, who has been keeping the official records for ten years, says that only nine times in her records does an entire month have as much as 4.98 inches of rainfall, and there is no other single rainfall that large recorded.

WHERE THERE’S A WILL By George Peck “Where there’s a: will, there is a way.*’ If you doubt the truth of that old saying, please read on and be convinced. In the summer of 1937 serious physical trouble came to .visit an ' eleven-year-old Ohio boy. Traveling with his parents on a vacation trip, Ira Gossett Hawk picked up an infanile paralysis germ which p'Tit him into plaster casts for the next 23 months, and which even today, many years later, has left him crippled. But that infantile paralysis germ which so badly ravaged his physical being, more than met its master when it sought to carry its devastation to he brave spirit with which God had Endowed this boy from the Buckeye State. You will recall that America was languishing iri the slough of depression when this disaster struck young Hawk—it was a period when a paternalistic “government^ with every good intention but unwise, judgment, was attempting to overcome that depression by doing things for people rather than encouraging people to do things for themselves; when boys, strong of body, unconsciously were absorbing the defeatist philosophy being propagandized that America had no new frontiers, that there were no new worlds to conquer., and that only government could save -the people from want and starvation. Ira Gossett Hawk stood as a living symbol to refute these false defeatist theories. His record of accomplishment, despite pain and suffering, despite physical handicap, bore excellent -testimony to the fact that “Where there’s a will there’s a way,” and that “You just can’t keep a good boy down.” Shortly after his affliction, Gossett launched a newspaper, “The Salem Echo”. Its slogan was, “The Echo Echoes The American Way.” —and it did just that. Its youthful publisher succeeded in putting into it considerable of his indomitable spirit. The first printing of the “Echo” was a modest 100 copies, PITTS FRONT ROYAL THUR. - FRI., AUG 7 - 8 .

It Wdmbered among its subscribers many famous people, ranging from the Duke and Duchess of Windsor to the then Governor of Ohio, John W. Bricker. Subscribers were located in all 48 states and 15 foreign countries. In 1941, the National Junior Newspaper League, of which the “Echo” was a memd>er,- adjudged it the best junior newspaper in the nation, r The nftany duties involved and the long hours entailed in ’publishing this newspaper did not interfere with Gossett’s schooling. He completed 12 grades of' public school in 8 years, graduating in May, 1943, as valedictorian of his class. Carrying off all honors in scholarship tests, he won a scholarship to Wilmington’ College where he enrolled that Fall and made as brilliant a record, as he did in grade school. During his college years, he continued to publish the “Salem Echo” in order to help pay his college expenses. My good friend and associate, Dr. Alfred P. Haake, one of America’s outstanding lecturei’s, whose eloquence has enthralled millions, ha\ing learned of this young man’s remarkable achievements, wrote him a letter w'hich carried such a beautiful message that I cannot refxain from quoting it here. Wrote orator Haake to editor Hawk: “I am grateful to a good friend for presenting me with a three year subscription to your paper . . I have another good friend who is fond of saying that our handicaps become our opportunities. I think that can be made true by any man who has the courage, persistence and vision to make it true. Your handicap has annoyed you plenty, I have no doubt, but the extra effort you must put forth because of it, will undoubtedly pay * you big dividends before the race— is over for you. “I know this to be true. You sec, when T^was fourteen I could not talk, I stammered so frightfully that I was not permitted to recite in scbool—-it made too much commotion. Then one day I heard a man say that any of us could do anything if we only had faith in ourselves. I believed him. And today I make my living as' a lecturer. You see, I had to learn to talk, and the extra effort to learn carried me much further than I would have gone had I not had the handicap. So I say, ‘Thank God PITTS On Brandy Road (Route 15) \xh.

Swim campaign in which I was an instructor. There was that same determination to “do it this time” and the same pridejn_accomplishment by even the youngest ^ducklings. This time I joined the other parents in that moment of suspense, “can he do it?” and felt that same smile creep over my face when “he dood it!” I hdpe, too, that Mr. Camp got a lift of the heart over being able to accomplish so much in so short a time. I would like to join the citizens of the community in expressing the appreciation of our family to Mrs. Slaughter and Mr. Davis and other members of the Red Cross for making it possible. > This was. an opportunity which I would like to see repeated in 1953, when the Paddlers of 1952 will become Beginners and the Beginners' of this year will move on to higher classifications. Sincerely yours, WILLIAM L. LITSEY for our handicaps and the courage to overcome them.’ ” What has brought this remarkable success story to mind at this time is that I recently heard from and of Ira Gossett Hawk. He has continued to climb the ladder of success; has proved conclusively that his achievements duripg his teens were no mere “flah in the * pan.” But the story of his more recent exploits must wait for a future article.

They’re like the fellow with a new car and nowhere to go, or a girl with a new dress and nowhere to wear it. No one in Amissville will have a fire, now that the company has the equipment and is ready to go. -Of course, the mail carrier is teasing again (and as usual). He says the Amissville Fire company is unlike an undertaker going into business: he’s burning up for somebody to die, while the fire company is dying for somebody to burn up.' The mail carrier pulled that story and then left for an extended trip through the southern states. One of these days he’s going to pull some of his teasing and the Amissville people are goin’ to catch him before he can run. ‘ . o o o The difference between me and other people is that their money looks bigger and their troubles smaller,^ * These are difficult days.

Walrus (Continued from page 2) the time.’' I have never voted for a Congressman nor a Senator that I felt needed watching. If other states have such inferior quality men and that’s all they have to vote for, then my sincere sympathy is extended. To place our Senate and House of Representatives on a par with “Howdy Hoody” and term them entertainment in undignified, uncouth, and ill-appointed. Their business they conduct is our business—and involves our own wellbeing as well as that of much of the world. o^oo. It’s so nice and confusing to be just an average little guy in this great, wide world. Wars get started; we’re not always sure what started the fight, but we know we are called upon to fight it; we’re not certain exactly why we * are fighting, but we do our best—and then, like as not, we never find out what it was all about, anyway. LINES PY SOGLOW Does money burn a hole in your pocket? Do as a lot of wise folks are doing. Save before you spend ... buy United States Defense Bonds through the Payroll Savings Plan where you work. It’s a simple, sure - fire way to save money. Through this automatic plan, your boss sets aside a certain amount of your pay every payday . . . the amount you want to sive!

Political "conventions get held to nominate candidates for the Big Office. We're not sure exactly how it is done; we’re not certain what each candidate stands for; hut we know we're supposed to elect the proper man to fill the job. / In Older to add to our confusion, it seems the little-duck-inthe-big-puddles are doing a lot of quacking, while what we’d always considered some of. our big-ducks are keeping so quiet that their silence is noisy; There might be cause for our spirits to be crushed with all this lack of information as to the whys and wherefores, but, .with hope springing eternal, we muddle along. In our politics, like in our everyday living, if we make a mistake in our judgment and elect the wrong man, we can get rid ofa him and try again. The country is young, that is true, but we are old enough to know we can outlive a mistake—which iwe have often— and try again. O O I’m beginning to get a little fed up with all this “equality” talk. “We’re all born equal!” shout3 some carefully trained voice over the air. Bosh! I want to shout back at him! If we’d all been born equal, I’d be Albert Einstein, Laj^ burner, Marian Anderson, Josef Hofmann, and Senator Byrd — all rolled into one! - ' Certainly we’re not all born equal. We’re not born with equal intelligence quotients, equal talents, equal health, equal opportunities, nor equal ability to make use of any of the items named. We come nearer having equal rights before the law than any other equalities, and such, is proper. The law was made for every man, and we sin more in laxit$ of law enforcement than in harsh judgment toward the offender. Whenever I see in print all this fol-de-rol abddt “equality,” I'm reminded of a professor’s summary of some speeches made in a bygone day: “Pusillanimous piffle of a pointless «perf-pusher.” Eat less and live longer.

Wood, chairman <?f the Second Annual Blue Ridgt Music Festival. ^ Wholehearted endorsement by the Virginia Museum of. Fine Arts has resulted in an exhibit of 21 watercolor originals which will represent the Old Dominion during the five weeks of the Festival. Original art work valued as high as $200 will decorate one side of the .natural amphitheatre on the banks of the Rush River and add pre-concert art browsing to the musical programs. Prominent Old Dominion, artists suctaas Jewett Campbell, Mrs. William R. Perkins, Jr, William Gains and Elizabeth Nottingham will be spotlighted by their watercolor originals. And such diversified subject' matter as “Chickens in Snow,” “Solar Ballet” and “Easter Egg Hunt will highlight the Virginia portiop of the open air art exhibits.

The 1952 sales will start off Sept. 19 at Ewing, where the first such sale • was held in 1939. Others are scheduled: September 23, Christ^insburg :s September 24, Charlottesville; Sept. 25, Culpeperg Sept. 26, Orange; Sept. 30, Christainsburg; October 1, Buena Vista; October 2, Lynchburg; Oct. 3.

The numbers of calves consigned, and, the average plrices, have shown a steady increase since that time. Needlecraft IVewso—-^*--^ ' ' "■ • rr„-_r ,| -...-. by NaneyBaxter Stoles are fashion-right this year. It’s not unusual for a woman tw . have two of-three of them in her wardrobe to harmonize with her outfits. For over her best frocks, dramatic white or black stoles are very effective; for casual wear, the gayer shades arf more appropriate. Stoles have even found their place at the beach in terry cloth which are being worn over wet bathing suits. WHERE DID STOLES COME FROM? The stole, as it is worn today, evolved from the fur shoulder scarf which was originated in the early 1900’s, j However, the first stole known was an ecclesiastical vest-! ment, narrow at the neck and ! shoulders and becoming wider* at the front. These garments,' usually embroidered and1 fringed, are still worn in the church today. Actually, the - wrap-around shoulder scarf is not exclusively a 20th century fashion. The modern stole resembles the shawl worn j by women throughout his-; tory. Perhaps the only differ*; ence between the two would I be that the stole is used pri- j marily as a decorative acces- j sory, whereas shawls have j been known as more practical garments to be worn as a protection against the ele-' m^ots. ! 1 EASY TO MAKE For the beginning crocheter, knitter or sewer, stoles are among the easiest items with which to start. There is no fitting involved, no corners < to turn, no involved trimmings to contend with. Jjjst one uncomplicated piece to make—it’s like walking down a straight road; there are no deviations to confuse you. • - DRAMATTG CROCHETEB STOLE_ ! Drape yourself in a brilliant white stole which will add a look of! luxury to your dress. This design has a pocket which adds a distinctive touch to this wrap-around—it’s practical for carrying a compact and) comb; it's extra pretty when you pin a flower or rhinestone cluster on it. In a wink, you’ll learn the few simple stitches necessary for making this bit of lovliness. Once you’ve learned the basic ehain stitch, single, double and half crochet stitches (these are the only stitches required for this stole), you'll find that you have aTgood starting knowledge for crocheting * almost anything. Directions for crocheting a NIGHT LIFE stole may be obtained by sending a stamped, self-addressed envelope to the Needlework Department of this paper and requesting Leaflet No. WS 104. Why delay . . . order your Southern States Fertilizer today for early deliv- . ery. You'll save money, and you’ll be reasonably certain of getting exactly the amounts and analyses you want.

Commissioner Parke C. Brinkley said advertising of the product claimed it was a fertilizer as well as a soil conditioner. Actually, he said, there was not enough plant food in samples the Department tested to classify the material as a fertilizer at all. In their test, Department chemists found only 5.23 per cent plant food in a sample of “Loamium,” where the label claimed 45 per cent Under Virginia law, any fertilizer sold in the state must contain at least 18 per cent plant food. “The sale of Loamium in Virginia is illegal, since it is not registered as a fertilizer and will not qualify as a fertilizer, although the manufacturer is making fertilizer claims,” Bj^nkley said. _ „ However, lie said, the product is being, distributed entirely by mail, from out of the state, and consequently is beyond the reach of Virginia law. There .are' a number of effective still conditioners on the market in Virginia, but Loamium is the only one the Department has found which is making claims as a fertilizer. T he Commissioner emphasized’that the Department was not in a position, to judge the merits of LoamTum as a soil conditioner. Soil conditioners are not covered in the law. The DepaMBw came into the picture, he said, when the manufacturer, The White House Company, of Harrison, N.J. began making fertilizer claims. That brought Loamium under the Virginia Fertilizer Law. State - chemists analyzed a sample of Loamium and found 1.4 per cent .nitrogen, 2.5 per cent phosphoric acid and 1.23 per cent potash, the three principle plant foods. The label, Brinkley said, claimed 15 per cent nitrogen 15 per cent available phosphoric acid and 15 per cent potash. The chemists gave the product the benefit of the doubt, since they assumed that all the plant food they found was actually available to the soil, Brinkley said. “Their fertilizer claims on the Loaimium label are false and misleading,” the Commissioner said, “but - they are conservative . compared to claims made by this company in fullpage newspaper advertising."

Mitchell, the exposition’s general manager, announced today. - A $9,000 concrete block building in the grandstand area, to provide additional comfort stations was scheduled to be pressed into service over the " past week-end for the 200-mile ’ championship auto faces. The Junior Exhibits Building, made possible by a $10,000 gift from the Sears Roebuck Foundation, is about 80% complete. Workmen have finished the welded steel framework and metal roof. Concrete block sides and seats are to be added. It covers 5,400 sq. feet and will be used as a judging area for Junior exhibitors. . Also about 50% complete is the ■ Junior Club Building of concrete and concrete block construction. Funds amounting to $20,000 for this structure, to provide dormitory facilities, showers, etc., for Juniors, were donated by the Old Dominion Foundation. Ft occupies 2,132 sq. feeC More than a half mile of new water and sewer lines have been installed to accommodate the new buildings. Exhibit buildings, pylons, fences, and concession stands are receiving their bright new colors in preparation for the “big show,” that will be the 1952 Atlantic Rural Exposition. Everywhere there is activity as the showgrounds are made ready for the thousands of visitors that annually flock to see what’s new in agriculture, commerce-and industry. Temporary Silos Can Be Used To Store Corn Cut Farmers who are finding it necessary to eut corn for silage because of the severe drouth in many parts of the state will find temporary silos the answer to proper storage where there are no permanent silos. G. D. Kite,s associate agricultural engineer, at YPI, says the drouth is reducing hay and corn crops to the danger point, and that some corn will have" to he cut for silage. Some soyl.»eans also may have to l>e cut for silage to assure an adequate supply of feed for late fail and winter. A trench silo can be used to advantage on many farms. A bulldozer or power scoop can dig a trench having a capacity of 100 tons, in 10 to 12 hours. The natural earth banks can be used for several years. Concrete or masonry walls will' eventually be needed. A trench 8 feet deep, 8 feet wide at the bottom and 12 feet wide at the top, and 70 feet long will hold 95 tons. An aboverground silo made of snow fencing or welded wire and lined with a reinforced asphalt paper is easily erected and will provide good storage for silage. The fencing or wire can be used for many years, if properly cared for. However, new paper will be needed each year. Material will cost from $75 to $150, depending on the size. Reinforced asphalt paper and snow fence or welded wire are usually available at building material of farm supply store*. The height 'of the silo should be no greater than the diameter. A silo 16 feet in diameter with 4 rings (total height about 16 feet) will hold 45 to 50 tons. Warrenton Horse Show Announces Fall Date ; * The Warrenton Horse Show Association will present its 53rd annual Labor Day Show Saturday, Sunday and Monday the 30, and 31st of August and 1st of September, president William, N.

Pleas* Drive Sanely Today And Be Able To Drive Tomorrow Hot Weather Aids Listed For Poultrymen Paint saves poultry—on hot days. Lee W. Herrick, associate poultry husbandman at VPI, says painting poultry house roofs will keep them cooler in the summertime. He cites the experience of a Weedonville poultryman, Charles T. Bevan, who has* painted the metal roof of his poultry house with aluminum paint, says the inside temperature lowered by 5 to 10 degrees. Poultrymen with a tar paper roof can use a special alunimum paint with an asphalt base. Herrick says extreme heat often means losses in the poultry flock. Birds of all ages may die from heat, and laying hens often slow-down or stop egg production. Slow growth, caused by a drop in feed consumption in hot weather, means losses for broiler and turkey growers. There are other ways to keep poultry houses cool. Many farmers make openings in the sides of the houses, of reft on all four sides. Mrs. Kitty Weaver, Aldie, built a poultry - house with large frames, hung on door tracks which provide the side wall. These cover all the space from the ground to the fotQi, and are covered with a blass substitute. To open the house, she slides several of the frames to ope area. Other aids in hot weather include roof ventilitors; extra waterers;, sprinkling the ceiling, wall and floor; and reducing the number of birds in the house. Fans inside the house help when there is no breeze. Herrick says plans are available from county agents or from the Agricultural Extension Service at VPI for new, large, wide houfees with'wide doors in both ends, windows in both sides, "A” roofs and roof ventilators. The new houses are adaptable to extremes in weather. They can be dosed tight in winter, and opened wide in summer. Built with concrete or cinder blocks, tbtor wo* «uefcnao®ler than narrow houses with shed roofs.
