VOLUME 3—NO.-<48 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1952 X tf&frO PER YEAR Amissville Firemen Count Festival ■ As Encouragement September 26 and 27 will be remembered by the Amissville Volunteer Fire Department, and the Ladies Auxiliary thereof; as the happy culmination of a mid-summer night’s dream—a dream born of anxiety one early June evening for the security ’^of community property against fireravage. Several damaging fires had recently occurred. Thus, the Amissville Volunteer Fire Department came into being. It has made rapid progress in a short time, even to the point of sponsoring a Firemen’s Festival the past weekend. And the events of this affair have l)cen both heartening and highly gratifying. The little hamlet of Amissville has been almost stunned by the public response to its Festival efforts. On Friday evening, some 2,000 patrons of good will gathered into its Festival enclosure to enjoy the good food, fun, and concessions of carnival fame—the musical merry-goround, the rollicking kiddy-car rides, the real back-to-the-saddle rides on cow-boy saddles girthed to sturdy Shetland ponies, and the favorite old munch—munch of the popcorn stand. Then, too, there was the attraction of the new 1952 Ford Sedan on display. But, Saturday evening broke all expectations. Imagine Amissville with 5,000 people to entertain! They came, they stayed until midnight, they left in a happy mood—an orderly, jovial crowd throughout. What did they see? Asid^ from all the entertainment in the enclosure, they saw an unique parade of Volunteer FireFighters from seven neighboring towns, and that of Amissville, too, leading the parade. This display of Fire Equipment was judged and awards placed for excellence of turn-out by Judges from the Washington, D. C. Fire Department, with the results indicated below: Orange—Best Fire Equipment for town use. Warrenton — Best Special Fire Equipment. The Plains—Best Country Fire Equipment. Elkton—Best Firemen’s Spirit— coming longest distance. Culpeper—Best Firemen’s Uniforms. Sperryville—Best Aged Apparatus in use. Round Hill—Best Equipment in its class. Amissville—Last but not least, best effort to get-going. Those who so ably judged this event were: Chief Cpnroy and Lieut. Peel of Washington, D. C. Fire Departmen t; William Price of American Federation of Fire- Fighters Association; and Chief Boswell of Washington, D. C. Fire Department aided the judges in deciding the ratings and awards. It must be said that the Amissville Firemen’s Festival has been a great uccess and a boon to the efforts previously made. The treasurer, being a busy man, has not yet made public the net amount of the funds received. This will be known and published shortly. However, four figures will be needed to express the returns, and that, together with generous donations previously ° made by publicspirited citizens. A plot of land for the fire house, a quantity of cinderblocks f«r the building, a number of v sizeable cash donations and considerable lumber will enable our builders to proceed. Thomas Tear, as president of the Amissville Fire Company, reports the Firemen's Festival as a “huge success." With the largest crowd ever seen in Amissville, the festival was put on by local talent, with exception of two rides and a popcorn and novelty stand “Snooks" Lillard was hard pressed to keep the crowd at the food stand supplied with hot dogs and hamburgers.^ By Elizabeth Fuss SCHEDULE FOR NEXT WEEK Monday, Oct. 6, Flint Hill 4-H at 1:00 p.m. * Tuesday, Oct. 7, Sperryville II 4H at 10:30 a.m. Speriyville I at 1:00-p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 8, Belle Meade 4-H at 11 a.m. Amissville H.D. at the Jiome"of Mrs. Joe Hitt at 2 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 9, F.T.

Group Thursday evening. During the meeting the^Jadies stencilled, towels, pillow cases and aprons. The Estes H. D. met with Mrs. Eddie Martin Friday evening. Some beautiful articles were stenciled by the members. TRIAL JUSTICE COURT Haywood and Robert Dodson, who were arrested August 30, charged with petty larceny and assaulting John Lee Bfiller, had their case continued until their attorney, George H. Davis, Jr., could; be present. Trial iwas in Trial Justice Court, Monday, September 29, at which time sentence was 60 days for chicken theft, and the case was sent to grand jury for the assault charge. *sr .—.—— ■ . SHILOH ASSOCIATION MEETING The Sue Slaughter/ Group of Shiloh Association win meet with the Washington Baptis^ Church, Saturday, October 11, at 10:30 a.m. Miss Ora Lea, of Forpaosa, will be the guest speaker. James Ellmore, at the car stand, was busy with his pencil and tickets. Mrs. G. M. M. Green did a “bangup" job at the cake stand, disposing of not less than 40 cakes and 30 pies, and various other sweets. Jamesby Dennis and Virgie Bywaters collected hundreds of items for the White Elephant sale and did a good job of selling them to the advantage of the La'dies Auxiliary. Members of the new Amissville fire company have been overwhelmed by the kindness of neighbors in helping get the new fire company started. “We deeply appreciate the help given by the various fire departments, especially Warrenton, which was kind enaugh to lend us wiring, wheels, and equipment for the food stand." “We owe many thanks to the Northern Virginia Power Company for sending three trucks with ten men to install a large transformer and furnished wire and switches so we could begin operations on time Friday night,” were the sentiments expressed by officers of the fife company. Jack Hitt wired the stands and was kept busy when the popcorn stand overloaded the line and put the party in the dark for a few minutes before the trouble was found and corrected. A final accounting of the proceeds has not been made, but it is figured* that the company will clear in the neighborhood of $4000. This will be enough, the fire Company members say, to allow them to start building the fire house on the lot donated bj^ Henry C. Carder. R. C. H. S. News Barbara Griffith, Reporter Pupils of R. C. H. S. who attended camps during the summer are as follows: 4-H Camp—Donald Gore, Bobby Lillard, Billy. Nicholason, Claybum Kuhn, Faye Black, Bernice Nethers, Newbill Miller, Kelly Updike, Caroletta Gough and Frances Walker. Boy Scout Camp—James Yates, Hill Walker, Dudley Wood, Galley Smith and John Turner.

These are Mayor Dorothy C. Davis, of Washington; Mrs. George Taylor and Miss Joan jf Aylor of Sperryville. The Pilot Life Insurance Company of Greensboro, North Carolina is offering accident insurance to school pupils and teachers for the small sum of $1.00 per year. The school boards of Rappahannock and Warren Counties have approved this advantage of this wonderful offer. The closing date for signing for this policy is Tuesday, October 7. The 42 pupils who attended the Atlantic Rural Exposition at Richmond on Wednesday, September 23, reported “as having the best time of their lives.” Under the direction of Clyde Atkins, the bus driver, and Mr. and Mrs. Donald Grosdose, the trip really proved to be a success. The F.F.A. boys enjoyed the livestock shows and the judging of cattle which were held in the Agricultural Building and also the different kinds, of farm machinery and shop equipment displayed for their benefit. The F.H.A. girls enjoyed going through a part of the Commerce Industry Building which contained various exhibits of Home Demonstration and Home Economics Clubs. Some other interesting parts of the exhibit were a completely furnished tworoom house trailer, and a modern fully-equipped kitchen. Such things as ducks, gold fish, and teddy bears were among the treasured prizes brought back by the pupils. Harold Brown Estes Transferred To West Va. Harold Brown Estes^ who was severely injured in an automobile accident last week, is greatly improved, although he will have to remain in a hospital for some time.

Time Nov To Sign For 1953 Conservation Program From now until November 30 farmers of Rappahannock County will have an opportunity to sign requests for assistance under the 1953 Agricultural Conservation Program, according to H. S. Barksdale, chairman of the PM A County Committee. He said that the plan for conducting the program on a “farm-by-farm” basis, which was tried out in Amelia County in 1952, will be in effect in all Virginia counties this year. The purpose of that procedure is to center conservation efforts on the practices most needed on each individual farm. To assure the most effective use of the ACP assistance that will be available to Rappahannock County for 1953. Mr. Barksdale said that community committeemen, who were elected on August 29, will conduct a field survey. In a personal on-farm discussion With the farm • operator, the plan for ^carrying out the most effective practices for each farm will be developed. The PM A Committeemen will give each operator at that time a chance to sign up for 1953 ACP assistance. The Chairman noted that “the amount of aid will vary with the need, the size and type of farming operation, and in acordance the amount of money which Rappahannock County is allocated.” He aded that “Local farmers find that ACP is an incentive to carry out far more soil and water conservation that that Jfor which they receive assistance in part.” - Conservation plans already developed by any ofy the other county agricultural agencies will be considered in setting up a farm’s 1953 conservation program, Mr. Barksdale said.

Rappahannock News Pnblished Thursday Morning at Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia Dial Washington 2851 LUQY CATHERINE BOWIE Publisher Entered as second-class mail matter at the post office at .u Washington, Virginia. . Subscription:-$2.00 a year “Get Off the Fence” Orders have been thrown at the Rappahannock News from neighboring Warrenton, “Get off the fence!" the neighbor hollered. “Either be a Democrat or a Republican.” That’s easy to answer: the editor has always been a Democrat, and no change is anticipated now. The newspaper, however, is declared independent. Views of either side will be printed, whenever requested. It’s The Appearance At Amissville’s Firemen’s Festival parade Saturday evenning,. the absence of the Rappahannock Fire Company was. conspicuous until several visiting firemen from out of the county commented upon it. . _Sperryville Fi re Co mpany w a s there, with the truck, both nights, and made, their presence .known as a sigh of encouragement to the sturdy men of Amissville who are organizing their own company ancf letting the rest of the country know that they are doing their best to protect themselves and their neighbors when fire strikes. The people of the town of Washington were present. It was just that no one took the trouble to carry the fire truck to have it appear in the parade as a public sign that the Rappahannock Fire Department, also, wished well to the new fire company in the county. It was the appearance of the thing that caused criticism. As stated, people from the county seat were there to show their well wishes and donate to the new fire company. In the crowd either Friday night or Saturday night, or both, were seen enough Washington people to almost call- the roll, street by street. But, still the Fire Company, as such, was not represented, and it gave firemen from visiting counties the opportunity to notice the absence. They did not know that Washington citizens were there; they don’t know them; but they did know that there was no fire truck present with Rappahannock’s name on it. This kind of oversight can cause trouble in the future. Members of the fire company must realize that failure to show appreciation to their neighbors can give a black-eye to the company. It can give them a reputation of non-co-operation. It falls back into that old admonition to P I4T T S FRONT ROYAL .

The presence of Rappahannock Fire Company’s track at the festival would have served the same purpose as placing" a flag on the mast of a ship: it would show under what colors you are sailing. Freedom From Government The Saturday Evening Post recently ran an editorial called “The America We Lost,” by Dr. Mario A. Pei, who emigrated to this country from Italy' in 1908 and is now an Associate Professor of Romance Philology at Columbia University. Dr. Pei’s theme is one that should be pondered by every American who loves this country, its traditions, and what it has stood for. He writes, “When I first came to America, 44 years ago, I learned a new meaning of the word ‘Liberty’—freedom from government.” He had come from a country which was dominated by an o c t o p u s-like bureaucracy. The implest activity resulted in govern.ment intervention. In his words, “America in those days made you open your lungs wide and inhale great gulps of freedont-laden air, for here was one additional freedom—freedom from government.” This, Dr. Pei finds with sorrow, is the America xvt have lost. To quote him once more, “Foreign-born citizens have been' watching with alarm the gradual Europeanization of America over the past 20 years. They have seen the growth of the fiuniliar. Etiropean-style Government octopus, along with the vanishing of the American spirit of freedom and opportunity and its replacement by a breathless search for ‘security’ that is doomed to defeat in advance in a world where nothing, not even life itself, is secure. “Far more than the native-born, they are in a position to make comparsions. They see that America is fast becoming a nineteenth-centurymodel European country. They are asked to believe that this is progress. But they know from bitter experience that it just isn’t so.”Those who, like Dr. Pei, came to us from across the seas in search of opportunity and freedom and the right and the chance to be their own PITTS DRIVE-IN THEATRE C U L P EjP E R On Brandy Road (Route 15) 1 Vz Miles North of Culpeper 2 Shows N>f?htly: 7:30 and 9:30 | A CAR FULL FOR $1.00 i Plus 20c tax . .

We can only save it by turning our backs squarely on political philosophies which have made much of the world into a vast slave camp. Credit Where Credit Is Due > •• Mrs. Bertha Brock has voiced deep appreciation for what the Red Cross has done for her within the past two weeks, following an auto accident when her son, Harold Brown Estes, was injured. The Red Cross Bloodmobile Unit, with Rappahannock county listed as donating, meant that the many transfusions her boy had were given „.without charge. The Red Cross sent to Texas for her other son, Everett Estes, so he could leave his post with the Air Force and be with his mother and brother during the first days of shock following the accident. <mPraise for the Red Cross is high on Mrs. Brock’s list right now, but she has always upheld the organization and the fine things it does. She admits that there may lie some cause for some of the stories told in derogatory terms, but she is certain that such is only a normal result. Any organization composed of thousands of people is bound to get a sorry one or Two,, but the. whole, need not l>c judged by a few. During the time of war-time firstaid training, Mrs. Brock took the complete training course, qualified as an instructor and taught classes at Viewtown and other points. On severaroccasions she has been credited with life-saving because of her knowledge of first-aid at the time of wrecks. She once rode in an ambu WASHINGTON THEATRE "S start at 7:15 and 9 P.

I haven’t heard a single argument that was for anything or any candidate. Some are against Truman, some are against the Northern Democrats, some are against the Republican party, some are against Eisenhower, and some are against Stevenson. Right many are against saying anything, o o o Tcou know, the smartest people in world are those who speak our own sentiments.

So he announced that he had ’‘hitched up the surrey and driV’ the children to Fredericksburg” because he didn’t want ’em to grow up in ignorance. My folks never drove me to Fredericksburg — but they drove me to school plenty of mornings, and they drove me to homework at night, and they drove me behind the woodshed (when my school work wasn’t up to their satisfaction.

National Newspaper Week This is National Newspaper Week. As is usually the case, emphasis is placed on freedom of speech, since it is the great American heritage 'used daily by newspapers throughout the land. Newspaper History, and newspaper people, figure very small in tire celebration. Some one may print that the Alexandria Gazette is the oldest daily paper in the United States, and there may be a note on the fact that the New York Times is in its 102nd year of continuous print. Like every other trade, there are newspaper men who have clung tenaciously to their work, taking the easy with the hard, because they enjoy the fruits of their labor. The life of the newspaper worker is no bed of roses. . . neither is the life of the apple grower, the grocery store clerk, the riverter, carpenter, or banker. Each fellow works at what he lilkes. Every man’s life is tied up with his freedom. His right to work at his job; his right to worship as he pleases; and his right to know the truth and speak it are all part of the American way of life. Since the last of these freedoms falls heavily in the work of the newspaper, then National Newspaper Week calls attention to our right to speak and think as we please. ihe free press has particular significance at this time, with the election just a month in the future. A candidate made a classic remark years ago that is usually repeated in newspaperworkers’ circles of talk; “It’s not freedom of the press that bothers me,’’ the candidate is quoted ,as stating, “but fear of the press.” That statement was a compliment to newspapers; for if a candidate fears the free press, he must have something to hide. With about 60% of the newspapers declared for Eisenhower at this time, it would seem that the Democrat candidate might cry for a little more “freedom” of the press for him. Some newspaper men will te^, Mr. Stevenson to cease his worry; for it is recalled that about that same percentage of newspapers in 1948 were declared fpr Dewey! WALRUS (Continued from page 2) and the rest of the responsibility will have to fall on me, I reckon. o o o A copy of a weekly paper 'has just arrived from a printer friend in Georgia. I see by an announcment that he has just got a new printer’s devil and an item reads: “All the mistakes in the paper are due to the printer’s devil, who is new at the job; please excuse.” Phew If that printer’s devil is willing to be whipping boy, he can have his choice of any job anywhere. That’s what we need (and I doubt that the printing business is by itself in this respect)—some one to take the blame for all our mistakes! o o o “If all the cars in the country were placed bumper to bumper, it would be Sunday afternoon.” We can surely agree with the quote for the next three weeks. Rappahannock and Skyline Drive will be putting on its autumn show »nd tourists will be on hand to see. We could blush as red as a dogwood leaf if we could sec more than the magnificent beauty. We hear a preaching of “social security,” and along the ridge are trees that have become gnarled and knotted in surviving the winds; stumps show the weakness of trees that did not {withstand. Nature points again and again at the survival of the fittest, yet man, with a conceit inconceivable, rearranges his life to fit a pattern contrary. Perhaps we humans are all mistletoe, looking for a giant oak on which to lead a parasitic existence. IT TAKES ENERGY TO WIN CONSISTENTLY Royal Sojftuud Bread ROYAL BAKING CO.

Farmers Take Action— Slash Southern States _ Prices jk z Farmers are squeezed by feed prices that are too high in relation •o prices received for meat, milk and eggs. The fennel's who own and use Southern States Cooperative—272,000 strong—arw doing something about it. Southern States Cooperative has made a sharp reduction in Us mixed feed prices—is pricing them at less than actual cost. Southern States-Service Agencies, working hand In hand with the farmers they serve, have reduced their handling margins to approximate actual cost. The result is a reduction of $4.00 to $5.00 per ton (20 to 25 cents per bag) in Southern States feeds • which were already tew in price as compared with commercial feed of comparable quality. This program of self-help by farmers will continue until it forces the price of commercial formula feeds to a more reasonable level from the standpoint of farmers. A big crop of com and other feed grains will soon be pressing on the market. This also should help.
