V st»u VOL. 3—NO. 43 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 28, 1852 $2.00 PER YEAR FINAL CONCERTS SET ' FOR MUSIC FESTIVAL On the agenda of the Blue Ridge Music ‘Festival this week are two piano recitals in Warrenton on Thursday *and Friday evenings, and the final Sunday afternoon concert at Avon Mills. An enlarged chamber group at Avon Mills will feature works by Mozart and Beethoven done in the authentic instrumentation. William Haaker, director of music for the le Ridge Festival Association, has arranged for the ensemble to be presented Sunday because of the tremendous interest that came forth from the concert last week by the Blue Ridge String Quartet. Haaker states, “the old mill is ideal for chamber music concerts and especially now that the audiences can be seated inside. It is our desire to present programs of the highest calibre to our audiences that travel to hear chamber music in a rustic setting." An added attraction of festival concerts are the piano recitals to he given by William Haaker on Thursday and Friday of this week. These concerts have been moved to the Stuyvesant' Barn (formerly scheduled for Avon Mills) in Warrenton, located just behind the main building at the Stuyvesant Boys School. The school has generously offered their facilities due to the large interest of concertgoers in the Warrenton area. Haaker believes that music lovers (will find these surroundings well suited for programs of recital nature. By special request Haaker has programmed again his concert of “Familiar Favorites’' i n c 1 u d ing Moonlight Sonata, Beethoven; Leibestraum, Clair de Lune, Polonaise in A Flat; and Rhapsodie in Blue. The concerts at Stuyvesant are slated for an 8:00 curtain time. H. E Aylor Visits „ Detroit Factory H. H.

Mr. Aylor won this trip in a contest sponsored by Tractor and Farm Supplies, Ferguson Distributors, Aberdeen, Maryland. A special field demonstration of revolutionary semi-self propelled harvesting equipment was shown ‘o contest winners. These new implements, Mr. Aylorstates, should- cot" local farmers cost of handling summer and fall crops by many thousands of dollars.

Suggested articles to be stenfciled are scarfs, table mats, curtains, drapes, .children’s pinafores, housecoats. 1 Combination in fabrics is the big news in fashions for fall. These combinations will include bulky jackets over slim smooth dresses: tweed with velveteeti and fleece with gabardine. Babardines, jerseys and tweeds are in abundance while velvets and satins will be used for accent dress up occasions. Crepe has made a big comback and will be used alone as a basic dress or dressy frocks in wool acetate or rayon. . p. Cotton is being featured in lovely fall colors and interesting prints, plaids, and corduroy velveteens. A variety of silhouettes are shown for fall. Select garments tfi&t will be effective worn together. For example slim fitted waistline and hipline garments are better under princess coats.

Lewis Henry Walters Dies In Anto Accident Lewis Henry. Walters, 19, of Flint Hill was killed in an automobile accident at about 6 o’clock Saturday evening. The accident occurred about one and a half miles southwest of. Flint Htll on a road surfaced with loose gravel. The youth was headed towards the home of his mother, located about one-fourth mile, from the scene of the accident. He, apparently, lost control of his car which zig-zagged across the roadway for some distance and their overturned several times. The vehicle w^s badly wrecked. . The young man was the son of Mrs. Hattie Walters and the late Norman Walters. Also surviving are three brothers, Clarence AValters and Norman Walters Jr. of Flint Hill; and James Walters of Front Royal. A 12-year-old sister, Myrtie Walters, of Flint Hill also survives. Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at 2 o’clock in the chapel of Scott Funeral Home in Front Royal, conducted by the Rev. Roscoe C. Johnson. Interment was in Masonic Cemetery, Washington. Palll>earers were six cousins, Tommy Eastham, Raymond Rector, . Howard Walters, Edward Welch, Julian Welch and William P. Welch. “Red Oak Johnsons” Meet On Labor Day “All those desiring to make political speeches come early and finish before the others get there, “states the notice announcing the family re-union of the “Red Oak Johnsons” on Monday, Labor Day, September 1. Meeting beside the Fire Tower on the Red Oak Mountain, the Johnson clan will gather, meeting on land which ,^s an original grant to the family and which has remained in the family for more than 200 years. A picnic lunch will be held at noon and the announcement states further, “There is no age limit. Apple crates will be furnished to be used for baby pens or sitting rooms.” “The Lake” Enjoys Successful Opening According to a statement from Gibson Wharton, manager, the opening barn dance at The Lake, Washington, was a success. A professional figure - caller rolled off the dances, calling some with iwhich the dancers were not too familiar and they had to work to keep up with him. Reports state that the dance floor, a pavilion on the edge of the water, proved ample in size and furnished comfortable space for the square dancers. One fellow, stating, he was too warm, took a running dive from the dance floor flat into the lake. He seemed slightly chagrined when the water at that spot proved to be _only two feet deep, but he waded about in the mud to cool off. No one has been able to find out the name of the fellow; he Vas not local and no one knew him; and there were a few whispers that probably it was a putup job and he had been hired to jump in the lake as entertainment. There had been some previous discussion that the advertisements should read: “If you don’t want to dance, you can jump in The Lake!” The dapce Saturday night was cooled off by the weather and the crowd was small. Additional dances will be held this Friday and Saturday, and also^ Monday night. SPERRYVILLE FIRE COMPANY NETS $700.00 FROM CARNIVAL Robert Estes of Sperryville, reported that the carnival Jast week was a success, large crowds, good behavior, and a purse of approximately $7 00.00, realized by the fire company. ..... !

Whittemore, Associate Dean of Engineering, announces the beginning this fall of a Cooperative Engineering Program at VPI, whereby it will be possible for worthy and needy students to obtain an engineering education with very little personal cost. The student will go to college for one quarter and then will be employed in an industry. He iwill alternate between college and industry until he reaches his senior year which will be spent in college. A few pamphlets describing the program are available at this office to interested parties. r , * * * I am happy to learn that Tommy Eastham of Flint Hill, ha3 procured a “Bush Hog” and will do custom work in clearing land of bushes, briars and small saplings. This piece of machinery apparently is a great labor saver and should prove popular on many of our farms where owners haven’t been able to keep as neat as they would like because of labor costs and scarcity. Your writer saw Tommy clear piece of land in less than an hour which would have taken qne man at least a full day to clean with a bush scythe and in addition the filth was pulverized into a mulch which would readily decay. Bob Graves of Madison county, purchased one of these machines and reported clearing an acre of land (new ground) in 45 minutes which contained saplings as large in diameter as his forearm. It will be interesting to see how well a “bush hog” can handle prunings winrowed in an orchard. J. A. Waller, Agricultural Engineer of VFI (will be in Rappahannock on a day or as long^ as is necessary to help any one interested in having a home water supply survey . made.1 Those having already requested Mr. Waller’s assistance are: Earl Putnam, Amissville; and Mrs. Mamie Leake, Castleton. Persons interested in a survey are asked to let their wants he known. C. D. Wheary will be available for advising those planning home construction or renpodeling. Here again let us know in case you wish Mr. Wheary to visit your place. * * * A fence post treating demonstration has been scheduled for September 9 in Page county. If any redder wishes to attend I will be glad to take a carload over or 'can arrange to have a demonstration here later on after posts have seasoned. Treated pine posts last for about 20 years as compared to a 5-8 year life of untreated pine posts. Yellow locusts are very scarce on most farms today. While there is an abundance of young yellow locust on my farms these are largely sap wood and thus must be replaced in 8-10 years unless treated. Treating costs about 20c per post. Advise us if further information is desired.^ Seeing eye dogs are trained at Morristown, N. J. . . “BOBBY” REID RECEIVES BRONZE STAR Last week through the mail, Mr. and Mrs. C. G. Reid received a tubular piece »f mail. It proved to be an engraved certificate reading thus: The United States of America. To all who shall see these presents, Greeting: This is to certify that The President of the United States of America ~ authorized by Executive Order, February 4, 1944 has awarded The Bronze Star Medal to Sergeant First Class Thomas Barbee Reid, RA13239703, Corps of Engineers, for Meritorious Achievement in Ground Operations Against the Enemy in Korea, 20 November 1950 - 3 November 1951. Given under my hand in the City of Washington this 19th day of August, 1952. (Signed) William E. Bergen, Major General, USA, The Adjutant General and (illegible) Acting Secretary of the Army. There is no reason to publish a picture of Bobby Reid. To anyone who knows him, the above is a good picture of him. His folks didn’t even know he had the medal, and they don’t know, now what he got it for. Bobby is the kind of fellow who would do what the occasion called for, and then say nothing about it. In asking questions among ex-servicemen, it is known that the Bronze Star is given for heroism of many kinds. One soldier recalls that a buddy of his got one for bringing in a wounded comrade under heavy fire. Jane’s Private School Opens Tnesday Jane’s Private School in Front Royal begins the year’s session Tuesday morning, September 2, at 9 o’cloak.

Published Thursday Morning at Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia Dial Washington^ 2851 LUCY CATHERINE BOWIE Publisher - Entered as second-class mail matter at the post office at Washington, Virginia. Subscription: $2.00 a year OUR OWN CARNIVAL— WE CAN HAVE IT This may sound like “locking the barn* after the horse is stolen,” but it never occurred to anyone that people would fall for all the gambling games at the carnival last week. - The word “gambling” is misused, for which I apologize. In a “gamble” you have a chance; in those wheel-games, turn-around joints, bucket stores, and swinging ball joints, you haven’t a chance. The parlance among the carnival people is “flat-joints,” and they got the name because no one leaves until he’s flat-brok£. A man was overheard asking one of the carnival men how he could win at one of those games. The reply came quick and honest: “If I should happen to break a leg or fall dead, you might win.” The carnival was for the benefit of the fire company, and the fire company got precious little of the money that was spent. These carnival people lose so much money on their games is the reason they can afford to lay on the beaches of Florida all winter, and watch the dog and horse races, while we are working in the snow and ice trying to make a few dollars for them the next summer. Here’s a suggestion, formulated into a plan. (If a set of plans can be drawn up, it gives something to tear down and start building upon.) L«et s nave a carnival, ownea and operated by the three fire companies of the county: Amissville, Rappahannock (Washington) and Sperryville. Let the carnival fee held three times a summer, once in each locality. Let all three companies co-operate in each locality, but when the carnival is near one town, allow that company to receive the profits. And have a large sign printed at the entrance gate: “Every nickel spent here is for the fire companies in Rappahannock.” During the winter, when there is a little spare time, let the men & PITTS FRONT ROYAL THUR. - FRL, AUG. 28 - 29 DOUBLE FEATURE ROBERT LOWERY HELEN GILBERT “GOD’S COUNTRY” .Plus ' BELA LUGOSI GEORGE ZUCCO — in — “Scared To Death” SATURDAY, AUG. 30 JAMES ELLISON MARY BETH HUGHES — in — ‘Last of The Wild Horses* SUNDAY, AUGUST 81 MONDAY, SEPT. 1 * IT’S PUN TIME!

TIME TO HOLLER A recent editorial in the Portland, Oregon, Journal cited some facts that should make the weary, beaten taxpayers of the country sit up on their hind legs and holler. There is a schoolteacher for every 132 people in Oregon—but there is a Federal civilian employe for each 85 persons. Totll government payrolls— Federal, state and local—came to $1,895,000,000 last April alone. This was a rise of 16 per cent from the same month in 1951 and marked the biggest April-to-April jump on record. In that month, the number of public employees, all supported out of Federal, state, or local taxes, was just under 7,000,000. The Journal said, “No wonder the taxpayer groans.” He’s going to groan a lot louder unless drastic action is taken to cut out government waste and extravagance in every department of government. The demand for that must have its origin in the grassroots — in every town and city and rural area in the country. And we must demand economy in matters that affect us—not just the other fellow. The lead must be taken by chambers of commerce and every kind of business, civic, labor and consumer groups. Then, and only then, will Congress and legislatures listen and do something beside talk.

And then, according to the Dean of Canterbury, who was sitting beside Churchill: “Mr. Churchill put his hand over the microphone, and in an aside to me with a smile, ‘And We will hit them over the heads with beer bottles, which is all we have really got.’ ” When the 11th edition of 'Bartlett’s was published in 1037 it was thought that another compilation might be postponed until I960. The pace of time has proved more rapid than the publishers anticipated. o o o Some fellow has said that a hobby is hard work at which a man would be fool to try to earn a living. Most of us have hobbies in one form or another. Like the peculiar varieties into which man is made, some folks take a hobby to extremes, while others flit about, none too seriously, with dozens. I located a lady in the county recently who, along with a general gardening hobby, has taken a special interest in cantaloupes.

When I report that some of the cantaloupes were swung in hammocks on the fence, I'm not telling something you needn’t believe; I saw them. I root evergreens for a parttime hobby. About three varieties of English boxwood I’ve had pretty good luck with, but my favorite task is trying to root something impossible; such as, trying to get a long-leaf pine to grow in this climate, completely foreign to its nature. I probably won't succeed; but I'll have just as much fun as does the lady who hangs cantaloupes in hammocks on the fence. A hobby can't hit me too seriously. I’ve seen people who collected beer steins, postage stamps, or buttons with a zeal religious in fervor. I can’t get that excited over a hobby, but if they enjoy their extreme participation in proportion to the fun I derive from small hobbies, then, more power to ’em. o o o My heart bleeds—not too deeply—for the teachers come Tuesday. For those of us who work the year round, a few days’ holiday so demoralizes us that iwe find it near’ impossible to get back to work. (I’ve even been told that Monday morning is referred to as Blue Monday because it follows Saturday and Sunday of vacation.) Think of those poor teachers: they’ve had three months of no punching the time-clock, no dear little cherubs to coax into learning, and no temptations to pick up a couple of these s&me little cherubs and bash their heads together. But Tuesday morning they are back in the grind—up to their ears. Ah! ain’t it pitiful! It seems a shame that people have to work for a living! Now, I have real sympathy for the school children. After the summer of no clock-watching, it’s back in a stuffy room to go, waiting for three o’clock. True, they've had duties and jobs to do all summer, but there wasn’t that plague’ element of time and bells clocking each hour. You could work a little faster, finish the chores, and get a reprieve to go to the swimming hole. Now, it’s back in school. The*! youngsters will, no doubt, be glad to see their friends and enjoy the comradship of games, but work is <work, and it’s hard for the first couple of weeks. We’ve had the little cool spell that usually comes along to get folks in the notion to start back to school. But just watch it; as (See WALRUS, page 3.)

The first part of the paragraph stated that the concerts will be moved to “the Stuyvesant Bam” and a few lines below is a quote saying that “music lovers will find these surroundings well suited for programs of recital nature.” The wise-cracks should be good; we can imagine a few.

In a week pactyd with activities, everyone of the campus and leaders expressed their satisfaction in the well rounded schedule followed- Everyone had plenty of time for gwimming, ball playing, square darfcing, nature study, and handicraft work plus the ritual of 4-H camp life, and just about everyone said at one time or another that they wished the camp was a two-week affair rather than one. Both tribes co-operated exceldently with the leaders and competition between the two tribes throughout the week was keen. After Newbill Miller had been elected as Big Chief and Sara Flythe elected as big scribe to assist him, the tribes elected the following officers: _ CHEROKEES: Peachy Lyne, chief; Clayburn Kuhn, scribe; Newbill Miller, song leader; Billy Nicholson, cheer leader; Arthur Smoot, notch cutter; and braves, Eleanor Foster, Eleanor Jenkins, Peggy Burke, Shirley Smoot, Frances Walker, Paula Miller, Ruth Jenkins. «MOHAWKS: Faye Black, chief; Donald Gore, song leader; Carolyn REAL ESTATE I hare prospects for All Kinds of Property Outside Connections W.

When the smoke of battle had cleared, the Mohawks had won the tribal competition by registering the most notches on their totem pole. That night, after E. H. Munch had spoken on the history of Fort Valley, each brave marched in Indian file to the swimming pool where, with their symbolic lighted candles held high, the week was inyjressively closed. Every 4-J3 club boy or girl in the county who enjoy good food, clean and healthy athletics, and* exceptional fellowship should be looking forward to next year’s additions of the Powell Fort valley 4-H camp.

During the year 1951, 4,288,000 board feet of timber with a stumpage value of approximately $120,00 was marked and estimated for harvesting by the Virginia Forest Service in Rappahannock County. Some 30 landowners in the county availed themselves of the timber service program offered by the Forest Service with foresters making timberland examinations and recommendations for proper forest management on some 2,188 acres of private timber holdings. The Virginia Forest Service, •through its timber management program, provides forestry assistance to the individual landowner so that his timberlands may be managed to produce the greatest volume of timber of the best species possible in the shortest period of time. At the landowner’s request, a trained forester will make a preliminary examination of an owners timber holdings, advise him on the correct methods of managing it, and submit a detailed renprt, together with recommendations, on his findings. This .is free, there is no charge for a timberland examination. In the event that mature exists on the tract, the Virginia Forest Service will mark and estimate the trees ready for harvesting. A fee of 60e per thousand board feet for sawtimber marked or 15c per standard cord for pulpwood marked is charged for this service. On completion of the marking work, the owner receives a report showing the number of trees marked by species and the volume of timber marked for cutting on the area. If you desire assistance in any phase of forest management, whether your trees are young and immature or mature and ready for harvesting, or if you desire to reforest some unproductive land, you may have the help of a trained forester by writing the Virginia Forest Service, Box 111, Warrenton, Virginia.

Meat Packers Explain Strike To Stockholders As pickets recently surrounded the strike-closed Shen-Valley Meat Packers, Inc., plant at Timberville, the board of directors, of fwhich President Robert Graves, of Syria, is chairman, sent a letter to all of the 1700 stockholders of the cooperative advising them of the negotiations which preceded the closing of the most modern establishment- of its kind in the East. The plant closed Monday, Aug. 4, with the exception of the shipment of meat which was processed before the shut-down. The Meat Packers letter stated that it made a wage increase and job classification proposal to the union. This proposal, adds the letter, would have cost the companya minimum of $10,000 additional per year to do business and would have established the highest industrial wage being paid workers by any plant in this area. The letter adds that the Union first accepted/ the proposal and then decided to call the strike because the company could not guarantee at least f^ur hours work on Monday, Aug. 4 and Tuesday, Aug. 5. It adds the company could not give this guarantee as it had no livestock to work on, having ceased buying iwith a strike impending. The stockholders were asked to give their views to their directors as to. what could be done in the situation. After calling attention to the hardships encountered in establishing the plant, the letter adds: “Your directors felt that in view of the financial position of the plant and the fact that it was just getting started, they could not endanger the very existence of the business by giving employees something the business did not have. Wage increases cannot continue to be paid by borrowing more money.” The board of directors letter, in' tended primarily for the stockholders who live at a distance and are not familiar with the situation follows: “After weeks of negotiating between the management of the company and the Union (American Federation of Labor, Local No. 393) without satisfactory results, your board of directors met Saturday, August 2, iwith the conciliator, appointed by the government as the arbitrator in this base, and after careful consideration and due deliberation made the Union an offer covering wages and working conditions for all employees of the company. “This proposal offered would have established va job classification system with i common labor rate of 93 cents per hour for men and 88 cents per hour for wom$n with a 4 cent increase between job classification above common labor, there being six of these job classifications. This would have given every employee with the exception of eight or ten an increase in pay. Those individuals not given ’ an increase would have taken no .—,-. Medium _..

It would have established the highest industrial iwage being paid workers by any plant in this area. “This proposal of the board of directors covering wages and working conditions was- accepted by the Union, and the company so notified Sunday, August 3, at 5:30 p.m. Then, due to ahe fact that the company could not (having no livestock available for immediate slaughter) guarantee every employee four hours work, or four hours pay if they did not work on the following Monday, August 4, or Tuesday* August 5, the company was later notified that the employees were going on strike Monday, August 4. _44 yniT nrn fomilinr *|V TT tory of the company, the many hardships that have 'been encountered and the effort that has been required of the stockholders, directors and those charged with the responsibility of managing your business. You are also aware of the heavy financial burden that you and others had to shoulder to get Shen-Valley established. “Your directors felt that in vieiw of the financial position of the plant and the fact that it was just getting started, they could not endanger the verjr existence of the business by giving to employees something the business^ did not have. Wage increases cannot continue to be paid by borrowing more money. “Having been advised by the Union that unless their demands were met, the employees were going on strike, your management before the strike) started c utting back production, and we are pleased to report that there will be no product losses as a result of the strike. All products have either 'been sold or placed in a freezer. “This strike against you 1700 farmers and businessmen who own the business will, in any event, be expensive and a setback that will be hard to overcome. The problem is : what do you as owners of the business want to do about it? May we suggest that you contact your director immediately and give him the benefit of any ideas you may have as to 'best method of overcoming this situation.” FOR SALE USED WATCHES We have for sale, a large number of used watches that have been put in order.
