Grandmother loved to grow and to use a variety of herbs and spices to give her food pep and zest; but modem cookery has neglected these interesting flavors until recently. Now herb shops and homemakers are becoming interested in knowing how to grow and use these herbs. The most commonly used herbs today are chives, parsley, mine, and sage but dill, tarragon, sweet marjorm and thyme are worth the gardner's notice. Why not bring your herb garden (See H.D.

Major Hughes and family will spend Thanksgiving with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Puller A. Hughes of "Horse Shoe Hill.” EXCUSE IT. PLEASE! It is a dirty trick to bring unpleasantness into the happy holiday season, but there is a request to remind everyone that next Friday is December 6 and the final day for payment of taxes without having that extra 5% stuck on for penalty. That spoiler - of - holidays, that wolf in sheep's clothing, that thief of baby's , candy — the tax collector (please observe no names are called)—has insisted folks be reminded of taxes dne. Here's the reminder, but it’s still a dirty trick to serve this kind of news along with Thanksgiving. How can a fellow, be thankful and face a tax bill? HUHMtnntlilMIIIIIIIMMliniMMfWntlMnNIMNHHIMNMI RAPP - OHATS By: W. H. Lyne County Agent Keith Houston, associate extension dairyman of VPI, who was in the county for October 31st meeting with a group of dairymen interested in Artificial breeding of dairy cattle, advises that: “There is partically no hope of getting service from the Culpeper organization as H. FL Hawkins, the technician in that aera is completely loaded.’’ This means that Rappahannock will have to form its own “Artificial Breeding Association” if the service is to become available to local milk shippers. Jhe ly49 census shows Joyb head of dairy cattle in Rappahannock Co. Mr. Houston states 500-600 head of cows are the minimum number for a good part time association while 1100-1200 head are needed for a full time association. Most Artificial Breeding Associations are set up as follows: All time membership fee of $7. Of this amount $2 goes to the Virginia Artificial Breeding Association towards maintainence and purchase of necessary equipment at the Bull Center. The remaining five dollars remains in the local association for the purchase of an insemination kit and carrying case, microscope, glove and sleeve, dozen glass syring«, 500 plastic tubes and charter. This equipment and charter will cost apporximately $220 or that part of 44 membership fees which remain in the local treasury. At present there are ten farmers who want to join and others have indicated keen interest. Should a Rappahannock Association be formed local dairymen who are at present members of the Culpeper Association may be released if they so desire. Also same would apply to a few dairymen around Etlan, in Madison County. This would make around 100 more cows available to the Rappahannock Association, which, if agreeable to make the change would amount to about 20% of the required number for a part time association. Copies of membership agreements are expected most any date. Upon their arrival interested persons will start contacting farmers relative to joining. Woodrow Coughlin reports much interest in his end of the county and interest is growing around SperryvilleA breeding fee of $7.50’per cow is charged. This covers cost of semen, expenses and salary of technician; and three services, where needed, to start a new gestation period. If additional services are needed they are made available at $2 each however, it is highly questionable whether a shy breeding cow is worth keeping in the herd. Mrs. T. C. Lea Appointed Director of March of Dimes Announcement has been made by Captain Edmund F. Jewell, U. S. N. R., Fairfax, Chairman for the 1953 March of Dimes, of the appointment of Mr. Daniel E. Leatherman, Winchester, as an area March of Dimes Advisor. Mr. Leatherman will serve as a volunteer consultant and as a liason between Captain Jewell and March of Dinjes campaign directors in the following chapters: Clarke, Frederick, Greene, Madison, Page, Rappahannock, Rockingham, Shenandoah and Warren. Mrs. T. C. Lea, Washington, is the March of Dimes director for Rappahannock County. Mr. Leatherman, a District Manager for the United Laboratories, Inc, Cleveand, Ohio has long been interested in March of Dimes activities, having served in past years as a Frederick County March of Dimes director and an area advisor. A. J. Slaughter, who has been on the sick list for the past few days, is much better. 3-County Judge To Be Named By January 1 With the resignation of Judge J. R. H. Alexander for January 1, a new judge will be named for the three counties of Loudoun, Fauquier, and Rappahannock. Commonwealth Attorney Rayner V. Snead has been named by the bar of Rappahannock as this county's choice for a position which has always gone to the larger neighbors, Loudoun and Fauquier. The present resigning judge is of Loudoun county, and his two predecessors, Judge Fletcher and Judge Turner, were from Fauquier county. There is strong sentiment in Rappahannock that some form of rotation system should allow Rappahannock to have the next judge. Candidates from Loudoun and Fauquier are Attorney Phillips and Attorney Bain, the latter of Warrenton. The usual procedure in naming: a judge follows a policy of having the General Assembly name a candidate, if the Genet'll Assembly is in session at the time the Vacancy occurs. At other intervals, the Governor names the new judge, with later approval by the Assembly. Rappahannock's Commonwealth Attorney is the youngest of the three candidates for the judgeship. Rayner V. Snead, 35, is ten years younger than Attorney Bain of Fauquier, and lo years younger than Attorney Phillips of Loudoun. R. V. Snead is the only one of the three candidates holding the office of Commonwealth Attorney, Bain, of. Warrenton, having been defeated in the election for that office. It is understood that Delegate D. French Slaughter and Senators Curry Carter and Raymond Guest have expressed their interest in Mr. Snead's being named judge. Were R. V. Snead to receive the appointment, as judge he would name his successor to fill his unexpired term as Commonwealth Attorney in the county. Six lawyers would qualify: F. Clyde Baggarly, George H. Davis, Jr., James W. Fletcher, Alfred M. Hickman, William F. Moffett, Jri, and John W. Price, Jr. Supt. Q. D. Gasque To Speak In Flint Hill School Supt- Q. D. Gasque of Front Royal, will speak at the Flint Hill School, Tuesday, December 2, on the proposed consolidated elementary school for Flint Hill. Everyone is urged to be present at this meeting. STANLEY PARTY A Stanley Party sponsored by the Ladies’ Auxiliary of the Rappahannock Volunteer Fire Company will be held at the Fire House, Washington, Monday, December 1, at 7:30 p.m- The public is cordially invited to attend. • "JUST ANOTHER SCAR" George H. Davis III cut his face with a tin can on Friday and had to >e taken to Warrenton, where grand father Davis took six stitches. George and R. V- Snead Jr. were batting tin cans when one back-fired and got George on the head. He laughingly says when asked about the accident, “Oh, I am all right, just another scar added to my head.” RETURN FROM TRIP Gibson Whorton and L. V. Merrill returned on Monday from a business trip in Florida. Mr. Whorton expects to return to Florida on business the first of the year. MRS. J. W. PRICE IN HOSPITAL Mrs. J. W. Price, who entered the University Hospital on Monday, was operated on Tuesday morning and is doing well

Subscription:__ $2.00 a year Thanksgiving Day On Thanksgiving Day it is not enough to say, “I am thankful that the American way of life is wonderful” American freedom will continue only if American citizens are resolved to perform personal sacrifices in its behalf, every day of the year. Democracy demands more civic responsibility than any other form of government Being a citizen in a democracy entails more work than any other type citizenship. Democracy demands an active, personal citizenship. If individual citizens do not participate, democratic government becomes a mockery, and our freedoms will disappear. The freedom of the ballot depends upon our duty to vote intelligently. Our right to a fair trial rests upon our readiness to serve on the jury when called. The right to worship God in our own way parallels our duty to extend respect to the religious beliefs of others. Freedom of the press depends upon the obligations of the press to publish the truth as it sees it. Equality of opportunity and freedom from discrimination depends upon our refraining from racial, religious and class prejudices. The right to assure our children of a free education depends upon our obligation to take an active interest in educational issues and to pay taxes to support the public schools. Our right to work in an occupation and locality of our choice and our right In a - CURLEE SUIT Yon’re always at ease . What is the most valuable thing in a man’s suit? It isn’t only a matter of style, of fit, or of pattern. These are important qualities, of course. But, of far greater importance is the way you feel in a suit, regardless of time or place. That’s why you’ll prefer a Curlee suit—you’re always at ease because you always look your best. * • The new Curlee line is now on display—drop in and see how you can look your best. You'll also be interested in our wide assortment of accessories. Front Royal to own property rest upon our duty to extend similar rights to our fellow men. Though we are genuinely grateful for our great American Heritage we must not be content to rest upon that thankfulness. Not only must we pre-» serve the freedoms handed down to us, but we must also expand and improve those freedoms. On this Thanksgiving Day we must remember that liberty, as Jefferson said, cannot be completely inherited, but “must be won anew for every issue in every generation.” Foods Served On Thanksgiving Mostly American Thanksgiving Day is a purely American feast, begun traditionally by the Pilgrims, and continued through the centuries as a national day of religious and gastronomic significance. Even today when all the foods of the world are available to enrich our daily diet, the Thanksgiving menu of the average household is still predominantly American in origin and production. A sumptuous feast can be spread with only the kinds of food that the pre-Columbian Indians knew and taught the white men how to raise and use- An all-American Thanks giving menu is tempting to a gourmet’s taste and satisfying to a hungry, growing boy. Turkey, cranberries, both white and sweet potatoes, numberous softs of beans, squash, pumpkin, tapioca, corn, including sweet com and popcorn, peppers, avocado, cocoa and chooolate, oysters, pineapple, chestnuts, peanuts,' brazil nuts, cashew nuts, and while not strictly a food, •the tobacco of the after-dinner cigaret, cigar or pipe. All of these are of strictly American origin. Even * without excluding nonAmerican dishes, the usual Thanksgiving dinner, with roast turkey, cranberry sauce, string beans, oom bread, pumpkin pie on the menu, is American enough. Those who wish can easily build in their kitchens a strictly made-in-America Thanksgiving bill of fare. The turkey that is the center of the usual Thanksgiving feast has a dual claim of the 100 per cent citizenship. It is a native to the American continent as the Indians. Yet the turkey also has a record of early immigration from Europe. Cranberry sauce is as American as the roast turkey that it accompanies to the relish of the feast. Cranberries are found only on the American continent. The cranberry bogs of New Jersey are famous the world over.

At any rate, they thrive best now in the warmer parts of the country. The white potatoe is not Irish but Peruvian in origin. It got its misnomer because it was so widely 'grown there and Irish immigrants in the early 1700’s brought large quantities of them to the United States. For the salad course, there may be avocadoes, also called alligator pears, for these are native to this hemisphere. The bread should be corn bread, of course. Com is the greatest of the agricultural gifts of America to the world. When the first settlers from England found this grain being cultivated by the Indians they called it Indian com to distinguish it from the use of the word com to mean in British usage all kinds of grain, wheat, barley, rye and all the rest Com probably originated in the South American highlands but by the time the white men came its cultivation had spread as far north on this continent as the climate permitted.

' ' The Time Hat Came; the Walrus said • • • A mild lecture came my way t'other day—by conversation—-on the theme that we Virginians, and . southerners in general, cannot appreciate Thanksgiving in the same spirit with which New Englanders take the annual harvest festival. I took the lecture with attentive ear, for to some extent I agree with the lecturer, and to some, I didn't. On the latter phase I remained silent. Whenever one sees Thanksgiving symbols, quoth the lecturer, they are four: the Bible, the turkey, an axe, and a gun. The usual picture may be decorated with a Pilgrim’s hat, an Indian feather, or a pumpkin, but always there are the four. These symbols were well-known to the Pilgrim fathers. The Bible led them to this strange and lonely land, as the Word of God, and need for freedom to worship Him (See WALRtWS, page 3.)

WALRUS (Continued from page 2) ■were *es lead other thousands in their own time to help build a great nation: Roger Williams to Rhode Island, the Quakers to Pennsylvania, the Catholics to Mainland, the Wesleyans to Georgia, the Jews to Newport and Charleston, and the Mormons to Utah. — The wild turkey’s forbidding countenance and incredibly tender flesh seemed from the start to symbolize the country the rugged New Englanders found; a country whose stern and forbidding forests, tumbled mountains, and endless plains hid richness unsuspected. It was a country that beckoned the brave and laughed at the weak ... a land that placed great premium on courage and skill . . . a wilderness waiting to be reclaimed only by strength and steel, by the axe and the plow and the steel rail. _, , - Always with the American went the gun. As the silent wilderness had concealed the threat of savage and serpent, so the uncovering of its wealth bred new dangers and the need for defense against them: the tyrant in a hundred guises who sought to make the rewards of other men’s labor his own. So, the right to keep and bear arms became fundamental to the American. The steel of his tools and of his weapons alike have always reflected the bright metal of his own spirit___ These are the symbols of the day we celebrate; of American freedom; of its inspiration and its attainment; of its rich reward and its price. These are our hallmarks, the tokens of our creed and destiny, the things we stand for: faith in God; zeal and achievement; the pot of gold at the rainbow’s end; abiding love of country — the Bible, the axe, the turkey, and the gun. It may be quite true that we Virginians have not inherited the true spirit of the Pilgrim fathers in their first Thanksgiving harvest festival. On that topic I will not take issue with the lecturer; but I would feel -that where Virginia produced the man who worded the Declaration o f Independence, would it not be fair to. say that we Virginians accept a national Thanksgiving as a part of our heritage as much as the New Englanders accept the July 4th document? O 0*0 There are so many things to be thankful for that we shall leave the ministers to cite all the large ones at Thanksgiving services in the churches. lm thankful for the beauty of the gold willow tree at Fletcher’s Mill. I’m thankful for the apple orchards, presenting a picture at this time: naked branches with occasional bright red or yellow fruit, left by the picker. I’m thankful for the haze that is on the mountains at this time of year. I’m thankful, also, that I beat off that gesky sniffle I was trying to develop and didn’t have to endure a bad cold for the Thanksgiving holidays! o o o The old joke of the fellow who said he’d never own another automobile because he had a flat tire with the last one has now been topped by a storekeeper who sells paint. (And this one is a so-tale, honest-truth, I heard it with my own ears.) A certain brand of paint—known far and wide for its good reputation — has been thoroughly discrdited by a housewife. “No, indeed, I can’t recommend it,” said the lady, “I used some black paint of that kind on some wooden chairs and it scratched off on the rounds where the children pilt their feet. It’s no good.!” Madam, what you needed was cast iron! The day you find paint that survives the foot-scratching of children, you let the whole world know about it l 0 0 0 . The best thing about a popular song is that it is not popular very long. For the benefit of those who have not realized it yet, we are now beginning a five-weeks’ spell of “White Christmas” and “Silent Night” sung off-beat.

Methodist Program Emphasizes “Religion In American Life” A concerted effort through local Religion In American Life .program during November will seek to encourage increased attendance and support for all churches of Rappahannock County. “Local campaign activities,” Rev. Menchhofer said, “will coincide with the nation-wide drive by the Religion In American Life movement to millions of Americans the importance of religion in personal and community life.” The national program will stress the value of religion in family life with the 1952 theme, “Show Them The Way . . This Week. _ “The local campaign,” Rev. Menchoffer stated, “will seek to emphasize the vital need for basing fam————~~ ily life on regular attendance at worship services. By attending each week the church of its choice, the family continually strengthens the moral and spiritual foundations of enduring family unity.” The national movement, started in 1949, is sponsored by a committee composed of representatives of the three major faiths and headed by Charles E. Wilson, former director of defnse mobilization. It is supported by 22 national religious organizations. * American business, through The Advertising Coundl of New York, each year contributes nationwide advertising in support of the Religion In American Life campaign by newspapers, radio, television, billboards and car cards. This support represents the first time in the history of organized religion that all the facilities of national mass advertising have been placed at tEe service of religious institutions.

In his small parish at Ridleyville, Penn., he brooded over the low ebb of the nation's fortunes. One cheerless November day in 1861 he sat down at the antique desk in his rectory and wrote a letter of singular eloquence to the Secretary of the Treasury, Salmon P. Chase. “One fact touching our currency has hitherto been seriously overlooked," he wrote. “I mean the recognition of the Almighty God in some form on our coins." Secretary of the Treasu^jr Chase, in whose honor the Chase National Bank later was named, and who also was Chief Justice of the United States, read this letter from the Rev. Mr. Watkinson and promptly recognized the merit of his plea. Within a week he had dispatched a note to the Director of the Mint in Philadelphia, James fohock: “No nation can be strong except in the strength of God,” he wrote, echoing the sentiments of the clergyman, “or safe except in His defense. The trust of our people in God should be declared on our national coins. “You will therefore cause a device to be prepared without unnecessary delay with a motto expressing in the fewest and tersest words possible this national recognition.’* It was in 1854 that “In God We Trust” first appeared on a United States coin, a two-cent piece. Chase himself had proposed this inscription. Most U.S. coins in circulation today bear the inscription “In God We Trust.” Silver dollars, halfdollars, and quarters were minted with the motto in 1866 and have carried it ever since. It first appeared on the penny in 1909, but not on the dime until 1916. The five-cent piece carried the motto from 1866 to 1883, and after a long lapse resumed # in 1938. Elsie Mae Jenkins, who has been quite sick, is better and hopes to be out in a few days.

Thanksgiving is just about the only holiday a body can remember e,about before he was born. Sounds queer, but along about this time of year the Recollections of a hundred oT time Thanksgivings are drifting around, so clear and strong you can almost step right inside them. Maybe you were born just yesterday; maybe, 1925. But come Thanksgiving, and it won’t take much concentration to make it 1870—or even 1840-*- and the ripe, round smell of the squashes and pumpkins is real as it can be in the* sqmmer-kitcben shed. There ’re winey apples spilling on the floor; the fat turkey is all waiting to be dressed and it’s hanging high. And whether you’re a boy able to slip off on a rabbit hunt on Thanksgiving morning or a girl supposed to help mother in the kitchen—or the grown-up person you really are—you’re suddenly kind of glad you’re living in a country that has Thanksgiving —a holiday made up of so many old-timey good ones that you can really recollect about the ones that happened years before you were born. ■ IN CULPEPER

Toot Toot “Tootsie” Goodbye By W. H. Lyn«, County Agent Yes, it’s just that. Tootsie is dead* Tootsie had never been sick in her long, productive life-time until she got out and licked some paint in the city dump. Lead poisoning set in, seemingly Tootsie knew she was going to die and hid herself. After hours of searching she was found and the family was mighty pleased though deeply saddened over her condition. The veterinarian was called and he did all he could for Tootsie, but her eighteen years plus the lead poisoning proved too much. She fought her brave fight for nearly two weeks and then went quietly to sleeo, forever. Tootsie was the family cow of the J. B. Updike family.• Tootsie was half Guernsey and half Milking Shorthorn, a heifer first born, and therefore considered not worth much by the owner of the dam. Mr. Upk dike bought her for a dollar, put her in a cotton feed bag and took her home. He had his eye set on a young maiden (namd) and figured, “if I get her, we’ll be needing a cow” . . little Tootsie was to be it. “Edly” as he is called, got his gal as well as his family cow. Their first son, Kelly, was born July 6, 1936- Both Kelly and Tootsie got pains in their tummy on July 23, 1936. Time proved that Kelly had -the—colick and that the time had come for Tootsie’s first calf to be born. Mr. Updike had been walking the floor all night with Kelly when he finally gave up and, like most men, lost no tme in getting out of the house away from that bawlin’ brat. It was then, he discovered that Tootsie had a nice calf. Somewhat elated he returned to his home to tell Mrs. Updike the news and found Kelly still bawling at the top of his lungs. Having tried everything he could think of to offer Kelly as a passifyer during the night without success, he offered Tootsie’s new calf. Kelly quieted. After that first calf was dropped, Tootsie produced another annually for fourteen consecutive years. In* fact Tootsie now has sixteen daughters, granddaughters, great-granddaughters and great-great-granddaughters on the Updike farm! Besides rearing a bountiful family of her own Tootsie practically raised the entire Updike family, four of the five children, all boys, were nourished from her milk as infants and on through boyhood. The calf, shown above with Tootsie, is her fifteenth. This calf is Glenn Updike’s 4-H project. When Glenn learned an attempt was to be made in getting a picture of Tootsie he went to the lower farm to get his calf where she had been kept since being weaned. As Glenn came through the gate into the pasture with his heifer she lowed upon seeing her dam. Tootsie, who had been listlessly lying in the same spot for several days, pricked her ears, turned and looked at her baby. Glenn dropped the lead strap to his heifer’s halter. She walked up to Tootsie and dropped her head over her mother’s shoulders in a caressing manner. Shortly thereafter, Tootsie got to her feet, walked feebly to the creek for a drink of cool water, which proved "to be her last. Miss Annie Stephenson and Harry Stephenson were Sunday dinner guests of Mrs. Zula Sealock at the Lee Highway Hotel. Mrs. Lily Barber, Miss Lizzie O’Bannon and Miss Annie Stephenson spent Monday in Charlottesville. H-DNEWS (Continued from page O. into the kitchen for the winter.
