Apple Season Gets Going The “juice-plant” at Sperryville began the season’s operations yesterday, Wednesday, September 10, with what might be termed the official openng of the apple season in RapnahaTitiAplf - - paiiat 11 tv/viv. * The packing houses at Sperryville and Flat Woods (Washington) will probably begin operations Friday. Downing Wood’s packing house at Washington opened when peaches were packed, and the crew went straight into apple-packing after that. Wood Bros, packing house in. Flint Hill will probably begn operations in another week. No opinion on the season’s. crop can be got from a grower. With their customary long faces, they bemoan their fates and telf how terrible the crop is, but one opinion ventures the guess that the crop this year is about two-thirds that of last year in ■quantity. No statement is made as to quality; the growers await the grading and make no predictions. Flint Hill P.-Tl. 'Mrs. Paul Miller was named president at the first meeting of Flint Hill P-T A, held Tuesday, September 9, at the school. Vicepresident is Mrs. Nelson Atkins, with Mrs. W. A. Moore as treasurer, and Mrs. Glenn Williams as secretary. Mrs. M. R. Bradford the program committee, with Mrsf Walter Krause as co-chairman; membership and publicity committee is headed by Mrs. W. O. Dabney; Mrs. ClaudeCook, health committee, with Mrs. Carson Lillard as co-chairman; and finance commit tee, Mrs. Louis Moore. A recommendation 'was made to the school board that the driveway of the school be changed so that buses will be able to load and unload on the school ground instead of on the highway. It is believed that present arrangements constitue a hazard. It was voted that the surplus foods now in Flint Hill School be donated to Rappahannock County School lunch program. The Flint Hill lunch program was discontinued in July, by vote of a special meeting of P-T A. Some tentative plans for the year were made. Two entertainments will be held. One at Hallowe’en for the street light fund and one in the spring for P.T.A. The street light fund is at present depleted. It was decided that rather than raise the dues from $3 per year to $4, that an entertainment would be held and the money put in a street light fund for street lights. In this way the $3.00 per year payments may be continued. The program committee gave a tentative program for the year for films to be shown at regular meetings. Why Should I Give My Precious Blood? BECAUSE it will help save the lives of tens of thousands 'of men, women and children each year. BECAUSE it will help build lip a stockpile of plasma and source of whole blood for fightng men If America is attacked. BECAUSE it will provide the necessary plasma and source of human blood if atom bombs should attack us. Giving blood is safe and easy and there is no harm to you. There is no pain. About a fourth of all those who give blood are repeaters, those who have done it before and know how simple it is. Every pint is precious and you can give several simes a year without injury to you. And what satisfaction it brings to remember that by giving a little of your own blood you may be saving the life pf some soldier or person. Giving blood is good citizenship. Your own life or that of your loved ones may depend upon it Senator Guest Declares For Eisenhower State Senator Raymond R. Guest has declared his support for Eisenhower for President. In a statement Senator Guest says, “I assure you this decision was only reached after a great deal of thought. I hope I have done the right thing." The full statement reads thus: “Because it is my sincere conviction that Trumanism has brought our country to the brink of moral and financial bankruptcy, and because I want to help save the TRUE democratic party, I am in favour of a change of administration this year, 1952." “Accordingly, I intend to join the Virginia Democrats for Eisenhower Organization and do anything in my power to help elect Dwight D. Eisenhower in his great struggle to save our country." Trial Justice Court Franklin Roosevelt (Bill) Dodson, Haywood and Robert Dodson, who were arrested on the night of August 30, charged with assaulting John Lee Miller by requiring him at the point of a knife to drive them to the home of James Fletcher (colored), where they tried to obtain wine. After they were not able to secure the wine, they tufned their attention to chicken theft, where by they forced Miller to several other homes in order to visit the chicken houses. This case set for Tuesday, September 5, was continued until Monday, September 8, at 2 p.m., until Robert and Haywood could employ a lawyer. They secured the services of Attorney George H. Davis Jr„ because of other business Mr. Davis could not appear at this time. Their case is continued until a later date. Bill Dodson, who is in the armed services, appeared on the above said date and pleaded guilty to both charges, felonius assault and petit larceny. Bll was sentenced to six months for assault of Miller and fwo months for chicken theft. As he had to report to camp on Tuesday to be sent to foreign service in the Armed Forces, his sentence was suspended until he is discharged from service. CHURCH NOTICES Rev.

Rappahannock News 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 With A Touch of Envy Reading of State Senator Raymond R. Guest's announcement that he is supporting Eisenhower for President marks the mind with a touch of envy. „ Most citizens are still studying speeches, thinking, worrying, and trying to decide what is best to do. Senator Guest %as made his decision. It is with regret that we learn the State Senator hasn't had time to let us voers know what he knows, in order that we, too, couM get our minds made up. Some of us are still of the opinion that we’re “between the devil and the deep-blue sea,” and that neither party nor candidate is to our liking. It’s a difficult decision to make when the voter feels that he must decide between the “lesser of two evils.” From some source, unavailable to us, Senator Guest must have some information. It is to be hoped that he passes it along soon. We are interested and deeply concerned. A Man’s Religion Is His Own Business Again into our political scene that ugly dragon has reared its head; a man’s religious beliefs. Our Constitution — what’s left of it—still maintains that a man has the right to worship God as he sees fit, and no man may molest him while he worships. Whether or not a political candidate’sreligious beliefs coincide with mine bears np weight in my opinion of his abilities at governing. It galls me to hear the subject mentioned. There are many of us who recognize that no one church organization can meet the needs of all people in worshipping as they believe. Proof of this can be cited within the bounds of our own small county. For many years there were several church denominations within the county, and there were many people who did not worship in any church.

Sobriety was foreign, and lawlessness held ^vay. Largely through the efforts’ of a minister .of the Gospel, using some methods unorthodox to the minds of many, a change was effected in the lives of many families in that hollotw "■ until today the community is lawabiding, respectable, and the children are being sent to Sunday School. It little behooves some of us to criticize the methods used by the minister, who must receive credit for much good works. The churches we attend had been here for more than 100 years, but they counldn’t meet the needs of this particular group of people. There is a place in the world for all types of worship of God. There is a need for different forms of worship to meet the needs of the different temperaments of people. As quickly as anyone, we will rise up and fight any religious group that tries to ram its beliefs down our throats, but we stand as freedom-loving Americans, stating that a man’s religious beliefs are his own and he has a right to them. A political campaign is no place to discuss a man’s church affiliatidns. Give Us Time! sin 1913, after a sufficient number of states had ratified the 16th amendment, a seemingly innocuous laiw was passed by Congress permitting a levy on the income of individuals and corporations. Count von Bernstorff, then German Ambassador to the United States, said: “You have adopted an income tax. That is the beginning. You will have more and more burdensome taxes. What amazes me is that your people •seem intent upon following our example, instead of developing the system provided by your Constitution. Wait a few years and see the result.” PITTS CULPEPER On Brandy Road (Route 15) lVfe Miles North of Culpeper 2 Shows N'gfitly : 7:30 and 9:30 A CAR FULL FOR $100 Plus 20c tax .TOTAL $1.20 “Come Shine or Shower” THUR. - FRL, SEPT. 11-12 DOUBLE FEATURE BARGAIN PROGRAM LEO GORCEY The Bowery Boys —in— “HOLD THAT BABY” — Hit Nof 2 — ARTHUR LAKE LON CHANEY •» —in— “16 FATHOMS DEEP” (Filmed in Color) SATURDAY, SEPT. 13 ROY ROGERS ^ —in— “HELDORADO” Special - Cartoon - Novelty SUN. - MON., SEPT. 14 - 15 BILL WILLIAMS JANE NIGH i —in1 ■ * “BLUE BLOOD” (Color by Cinecolor) TerryToon - Novelty TUBS. - WED., SEPT. 16 - 17 LLOYD NOLAN JANE WYATT JAMES GLEASON —in— “BAD BOY” "Little Rascals", Comedy THUR. - FRL, SEPT.

Beginning in 1*14, with a very modest share of the citizens’ earnings, this tax is now extracting from individuals alone more than 27 billion dollars per year or $460 for every working person in the country. Taxation in the United States has passed the point of oppression. About all that can be said is that the tax forms of our Internal Revenue department do not yet bear the flourish of royal decree. I i | T/ie Time Hat Come/ | | the Walras said ... | Dear Billy Schwartz: .Thanks for, the card you sent from Europe. Back in Rappahannock, we're all glad you’re having such a good time and that you weren’t sea-sick. Of course, we iwant to Keep you as merry and bright as we can, now that you’ve gone on a nice vacation. We suppose, since your father built up the business at the Sperryville store, and since you’ve helped keep it up, it doesn’t matter in what condition it gets while you are gone. You’d better get a good rest, ’cause you’re *gonna’ need extra strength when you return. > In the store the other day, a customer was overhead asking your sister for “5 pounds of 8penny nails.” Your sister looked a little bewildered, and her" face went slightly blank. A neighbor, who happened to be in the store, undertook to help her out: “Let’s see,” he said, “ er, ruh, . . 5 lb. of 8-penny; uh . . 5 eights are 40, and so are 4 tens . . . ask that customer if 4 pounds of tenpenny nails will do just as good.

Your sister has posted it in the store for everybody to see, but what makes you think you’ll have any customers when you get back? By the way, where do you keep the overshoes? A shipment of ’em came in, but they’re still stacked in a box in the middle of the floor. Nobody knows where to put ’em. The county hasn’t changed much, despite the fact that a citizen can pack up her tooth-brush and her other pair of socks and sail herself off to Europe. - There were a couple of cases in court the other day. Not so spectacular, you might say; just a case of so-called chicken thieving and a bit of noisy disturbing of public worship. Both occasions started out as an evening’s entertainment^ but the refreshments seem to have had the vfrong influence. Apples are being picked by the truckload. Growers, as usual, complain of how terrible the crop is, and then show you nothing but the facing apples. Bill Lyne is running around at break-neck speed, as usual. This time he’s getting up the Rappahannock All-Angus Feeder Calf shin-dig. A snap judgment would say that the people in the county are going in for house face-lifting. Over in Flint Hill the Cook’s haw the front of their house torn up, either putting down a new porch floor or putting on a new roof— or both — and the front of the Methodist church' is torn off, either replacing the pillars or repairing them. At Washington, the Updike house has had its front remodeled. The Johnson Family Reunion, after a rainy day before, was held on Red, Oak mountain on a day that was beautiful beyond imagination. Of course, the county Johnsons spent most of their day showing the city cousins the dif-*i ferent points of interest to be ob-" served in the seven counties visible from Red Oak fire tower.

Last Call For Help One final call is being made for funds to finance the Old Hollow swimmng project. Contributions have been most generous but more money is needed and it is hoped that persons who have not yet made donations will’do so before bills start rolling in for work already done. Any amount of cash from a dime to a dollar is most gratefully accepted and the spirit of the giving warms the heart much more than the size of the check. Mrs. Kilby received many heart-warming letters from people who are. interested in this project and she has chosen one letter of particular historical interest and poetic language to reproduce here. My Dear Mrs. Kilby . Being very much interested in improvements now under consideration of the Old Hollow Baptismal and Swimming Pool, I am happy to enclose a small contribution toward that end. My interest goes back to my earliest recollection—(I am eightyfour) of gojrig to “preaching” in the O. S. Baptist Church built by the grandfather of the late Wiflam Jennings Bryan called The Old Hollow Meeting House. My grandparents,' John and Rebeccah Broy, joined that church and were baptized in that pool, now under consideration. If not charter members, next in line. Four of their children, two sons, John and James Broy, two daughters, Sarah Broy and Ann Broy Romihe were baptized in that pool—“and the river keeps rolling on." .My grandchildren found it the high spot of enjoyment in childhood and now so “grown-ups” still enjoy it. Such a lovely spot with the grove of “singing pines” casting cooling shadows over rippling water is hard to find else where than at “The Old Hollow Pool.” If I can be of any service at any time in the cause, please let me know. Sincerely Yours, Mary Grove Taylor _At preset: The following are persons who have contributed since the last list (Rapp’k News - August 21.) • Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Burch, $5; Mr. and Mrs. Johnny Campbell, $2;’Mr. and Mrs. William L. Litsey, $5; Mr. and Mrs. Williamson, $5; Mr. and Mrs. Downing Wood, $10. Excavaton in the pool is completed except for clearing out rocks by hand (as wre stub our toes on them or before.) Other work will include levelng banks, clearing woods, cleaning up trash, ^spraying poison vy; etc. Friday afternoon and Saturday morning are times set for clearing and cleanng at the Old Hollow Pool. Many people offered earlier to help whenever it was ready for that kind of work. Now they are all urged to spend a few hours on one of those two days; Tools needed include pruning shears, hatchets, rakes, small hand saws, work gloves and a few tall boys with wading clothes. Come one, come all—bring your lunch and whistle while you work. FOR SALE USED WATCHES 2 We have for sale, a large number of need watches that have been put in order. In the lot are men’s pocket watches as well as ladies’ and wen’s wrist watches. It will pay you much better to buy a watch of this type, than to buy a junk or cheap watch that won’t be worth repairing when it gets out of order. Come in and look them over. C. ROY JONES * • • ^ 3 JEWELER Culpeper, Virginia Beahm Family The following information was sent from a paper in Washington state, giving a remarkable bit of history concerning the Beahm family of Rappahannock. "Word received recently by Hamilton Peyton Beahm, of 728 So. Mission St., Wenatchee, Washington, of the death of a brother in Culpeper, Virginia, at the age of 83 years, brings to light some interestng family history of one of Virginia’s oldest families.” “John W. Beahm, the deceased, was one of eight brothers, the seven surviving ranging in age from 65 to 90 years. Besides the sons, there were seven daughters born to George W. and Nancy E. Beahm. John W. Beahm’s death marked the first death among the eight brothers. Of the seven daughters, two are now living.” "George W. and Nancy E. Beahm were the oldest living couple in the state of Virginia prior to the death of Mrs. Beahm, who passed away at the age of 89, after 71 years of wedded life. Her husband lived to the age of 99 years after living in the same hpuse on his 350-acre farm in the Blue Ridge mountains, in Rappahannock County, Virginia for over 70 years.” * “The couple left a total of 202 descendants as follows: 7 daughters, 8 sons, 75 grandchildren, 95 greatgrandchildren, and 7 great-greatgrandchildren.” "This hardy Virginia family traces its ancestry back to the early history of the state; the Beahm family being descendants of Pocahantas through DONAHOE’S FLOWER SHOP PHONE 415 FRONT ROYAL, VA.

For some reason, lots of people just can’t believe they can buy a Buick at a price so close to “the low-priced three.” Maybe it’s because a Buick seems so much better and bigger. Maybe it’s because they think Buick has so much more power and room—which is true. Maybe it is because so many distinguished people own Buicks—which is also a fact.

While gathering eggs, sheG noticed what looked to her like a snake skin. She reported the incident to her mother, Mrs. F. Downing Wood, and Mother dispatched a man to investigate. It was a snake skin, all right, with six feet of snake inside of it. Alice, with her magnificent 7year-old composure, relates the tale as if it fwere a mere trifle. She says-she didn’t put her hand on the snake, ’though it was near her, wrapped around a pole. This incident occurred some time ago but could not be published until Miss Alice gave her consent:' The printers got in terrific hot-water once for stating that Alice, after visiting cousins in Louisa county, had been “driven home by” her relatives. The news»v paper meant transportation, but Alice wouldn’t give time for an explanation. She stated emphati Distinguished Visitors Coming To Sperryville Dr. and Mrs. Donald Pierson, who hive spent many years in Brazil as the representatives of the Smithsonian Institute, are expected to arriye in Sperryvlle on September 19 to occupy “Apple Tree Cottage," the home of Mr. and Mrs. S.
