Rappahannock News Published Thursday Morning at Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia Pkl W—hington 28S1 LUCY CATHERINE BOWIE Publisher Entered as second-class mail matter at the post office at Washington, Virginia. Subscription: .... $2.00 a year Quiet Waiting If suspense is necessary, then Rappahannock’s living should be quite satisfactory. A couple of hems up for discussion have sufficient influence in the county to keep interest keen: * the re-districting being discussed in Richmond, and the coming appointment of a judge,for the three counties of Rappaharupck, Fauquier, and Loudoun. The re-districting seems to noia plans of placing Rappahannock with Fauquier county, if Culpeper gets put into a district with Orange for representation in the House of Delegates. A conversation of the when’s and if’s furnishes much information; such as, if Culpeper goes in with Orangey that leaves the Hon. Norman Bailey of Orange as a Delegate and also the Hon. D. French Slaughter of Culpeper from that territory. Then, again, another if: if Rappahannock gets placed in with Fauquier, then the Delegate there is Tom Frost, a new member of the House of Delegates, but popularly received and recognized as a wide a-wake, business-like representative of his people in the Assembly. The appointment of the new judge brings Rappahannock conversation back to one theme: it’s about time Rappahannock had "something.” The Delegates have come from an adjoining county for many years; the Senator is from over the mountain in Warren county; Loudoun has just had the judge and the two before him came from Fauquier; and then Rappahannock begins the same tune, second verse just like the first, “it’s about time for Rappahannock to get a break.” With the Commonwealth Attorney named by the bar of the county, there has been recounting of favorable signs pointing to the ~ naming of Rayner V. Snead a$ the next district judge. It is understood generally that the Governor will name the new judge and speculation is high as to whether Rappahannock will have a chance against Fauquier and Loudoun. The waiting is furnishing plenty of talk and speculation. What Are “The Good Old Days?” Who knows when “the good old days” were? Maybe we’re living in them. Maybe in years to come we’ll look back to this very time and think of it as “the good old days.” The “good old days” are difficult to define. But perhaps when we speak of them most of us have in mind some period of the past, when, as we remember it, or as we have read of it, life seemed to be more pleasant, more predictable, or safer and sounder, or more glamorous and exciting than it now is* But memory sometimes plays tricks on us. Memory sometimes puts a halo upon the past and forgets the privileges and pleasures and opportunities of the present. In “the good old days” that many of us remember, we didn’t have penicillin. Pneumonia went its own way. We didn’t have antitetanus shots or diphtheria serums, or anti-toxins for typhoid. And they all took their toll. We didn't have inspected foods and milk sealed under sanitary supervision. We didn’t have billions for every difficulty at every crosroads. We weren’t on a spending spree. We did not pay people for what they didn’t do. We didn’t have as many laws. W« didn’t have as many taxes. We didn’t have central heating, or air conditioning, or Social Security, or luxury liners, or streamliners, or Community Chests, or PTA, or TV A or atomic trouble. Some of us can look back to the time when we didn’t have most of the things on thjs long list, and somehow think of those days as “the good old days.” Perhaps some of ns have forgotten how much we can get along without and still live reasonably happy lives. Perhaps some of us fall to appreciate the past, and some of us fail to appreciate the present. But this we must remember: We may now be living in “the good: old days”—in the good old days of tomorrow. Sometimes we may look back to this very hour and say aloud or silently, that these were “the good old days.” A Modern Horatio Algo: By Georg* Peck Some time ago mention was made of Ira Gossett Hawk, how in the summer of 1937 he was strickend with infantile paralysis which put him into plaster casts for 23 months and which .even today, many years later, has left him crippled. This Ohio youngster refused to “stay down for the count.” Shortly after his affliction he started to publish the “Salem Echo;” the while he completed 12 grades of public school in 8 years, graduating in 1843 as valedictorian of his class; carrying off all honors in scholarship tests and won a scholarship to Wilmington College where he enrolled that fall and duplicated the brilliant record he had achieved in grade school. From 1943-1946, while enrolled at Wilmington College, young Hawk worked part-time as a reporter on the Wilmington Daily News-Journal, covering sports and all the news of his college. During vacations he labored full-time for this daily. Also during the 1945 vacation young Hawk took on another assignment as reporter-photographer and feature writer for the Columbus (Ohio) Citizen. From March 1 to September 15, 1944, by way of extra good measure, he took on a job as field representative for Wilmington college, making personal contacts with high school principals and guidance directors, and pre-freshman counseling with prospective students and their families.

In 1946, Wilmington college graduated Ira Gossett Hawk with a degree of Bachelor of Arts. Then he enrolled at Ohio State University where he majored in public relations and journalism; graduating in 1947 with a degree of Master of Arts. For the next five years he served as director of public relations and admissions and instructor of journalism at Wilmington college. He was in charge of all publicity, alumni relations, college publications, student recruitment and selection of new students, photoggraphy, special events, production of college radio and video programs. These duties would seem to have been enough to keep anyone busy, but somehow Hawk also found time to assist with the col-* lege fund-raising work and to teach courses in journalism and radio. » Then, this year, real opportunity knocked on young Hawk's door. His prodigious accomplishments came to the attention of America's largest industry. General Motors Corp. Like all major corporations.

Returns-Per-Ewe Contest Open To Virginia Sheepmen Farmers in Virginia who own 15 ewes or more are eligible to compete for prizes in a “returnsper-ewe” contest. George Allen, Jr., associate animal husbandman at VPI, says the contest, now in its second year, is designed to encourage better flock management practices in Virginia. It is sponsored by the Virginia Purebred Sheep Breeders’ Association and the VPI Agricultural Extension Service. , Sheepmen interested in competing should sign up by February 28. Entry blanks are available* from county agents, members of the Sheep Breeders Association, or the animal husbandry department at “VPI. Farmers entering the contest should have an official count made of ewes in December or January. County agents, vocational education instructors, SOS representatives, or any member of the Association can make the count. The contestants who have the greatest returns per ewe will be the winners of the contest. Prizes are: first, $35; second, $20; third, $10; and fourth to tenth, $5 each. Contestants must keep records on: wool -freight and receipts; market weight; grade and price of lambs sold; and must give ewe lambs kept for replacement the same per head value as average lambs in the first shipment. They also must use a registered ram, and keep for official records during the contest the exact number of ewes signed up for originally. Homemaker’s Items Buying a snowsuit? Then you*ll be interested in these tips from Miss I. Byrd Johnson, clothing specialist at VPI. Raglan sleeves allow freedom of movement and growth. Wristlets and anklets of the knit variety, long enough to'double back, the first year, make it possible to> use the snowsuit at least two years. Inside wristlets give added protection. The lighter, water-repellent suits are satisfactory for Virginia climate. In extreme cold, a sweater or heavier suit jacket .can be used under the snowsuit. A good fitting collar which will keep the child warm without the need of a scarf is another suggested feature. Look also for: bright colors for safety (driver can see child easily) ; fast color, easily cleaned, wind and water repellent fabrics; designed to make it easy for the child to dress and undress; slide fasteners at ankles; easy side openings; a zipper guard flap; patches on knee and seat; bib in front and back of pants with adjustable suspenders. Some manufacturers are giving a height-weight chart for size. Others have devised other measurements to help fit correctly. Be sure to check the label for this information, and to see how the garment should be cared for before deciding to buy. - ^ Gentlemen never swear at their wives ip the presence of ladies.

Lync, County Agent The Federal-State Crop and Livestock Service in December is requesting farmers throughout the State to give information concerning the numbers of livestock on their farms. The Rural Mail Carriers about November 25 will leave a card in the mail box of about one out of every twelve farmers on their routes. Most farmers will be able to fill out these cards in about five minutes. The Department of Agriculture will use the information obtained to estimate numbers of cattle on farms, number of sheep, number of sows farrowing this fall and pigs saved, the number of sows expected to farrow next spring, and the number of chickens on farms. Also, information is obtained which greatly helps in making the annual estimates of milk and egg production. The more cards received, the more accurate the estimates will be. Therefore, I want to urge every farmer who receives one of these cards to fill it out immediately and to put it in his mail box for the rural carrier to collect and forward to the Departmnt of Agriculture in Richmond. The results of this survey will help farmers to determine whether to increase or decrease their livestock during the coming year. These reports are the basis for county estimates which show the trend in livestock numbers Good Neighbors Exchange At a suggestion from S. E. Honing, a new column will run in Rappahannock News, called “Good Neighbors Exchange.” The purpose is to notify people of articles on hand for which you have no use but are too good to throw away. The idea comes from a newspaper in Florida. A few samples are given here: “We have a pecan tree cut up so it can be hauled away. Will give it to the first one who calls for it in the back yard at 1244 Second Street, in exchange for some poinsettias.” (signed with initials) i “Does anyone have any apron patterns they no longer want or will lend.” (signed with a telephone number) “Some empty packing barrels and strong wooden boxes to give away; would like to exchange for small trunk.” (signed with a telephone number) nave some aancmg suppers, size 7, would like to exchange for baby bed or bassinette.*’ (signed with telephone number) “My son’s out-grown bicycle can be had for an arranged number of hours of weeding or handy-man errands about house.” (signed with initials and telephone number). These examples are given as an idea on what the column can inelude. The information will be run without charge, and the purpose of the column is to distribute information on give-away and exchange articles. No article will be listed in the column with a cash price. Thanks go to Mr. Hening for the suggestion, and right before Christmas you may be able to find discarded toys about the house that can help brighten some child’s holiday season. Mail f or telephone your “Exchange” idea to Rappahannock News, Washington-2851. > Rifle vs Shotgun Question Raised In Many Counties Several Virginia counties have recently raised the question as to the advisability of prohibiting the use of high-powered rifles in the hunting of big game, I. T. Quinn, executive director of the Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries, reports. The question has been raised because some officials feel that highpowered rifles are more dangerous than shot guns. Quinn did not state whether or not he felt that these rifles were more dangerous but he did present the following facts from which some conclusions could possibly be drawn: Last year acording to records of the Game Commission, there were only two fatal accidents resulting from the use of rifles, with approximately SCO.OOO gunnery in the field. One of these fatalities resulted from a highpowered rifle, and one from a 22 caliber rifle. There were three nonfatal accidents caused by rifles, also, one of which was known to have been a high-powered rifle. All rifle accidents occurred in the mountain counties west of the Blue Ridge. “There was only one fatal shotgun accident west of the Blue Ridge, whereas, in eastern counties there were 6.. fatal accidents and S nonfatal accidents resulting from shotguns.” Quinn summed up the situation as follows: "Last hunting season there was a total of 29 hunting accidents, 13 fatal and 16 non-fatal. Two of the fatalities were from rifles as were 3 of the non-fatalities. There were 9 fatalities from shotguns and 13 non-fatalities. Twp ‘coon hunters were drowned. Despite how bad these numbers seem, Virginia's hunting accidents are believed to be among the least of all states in the Union in proportion to the number of gunners afield. Imagination is given to people to compensate them for what they are not, and a sense of humor to compensate them for what .they arte. from year-to-year and help me and other agricultural workers to judge the effectiveness of various programs, especially pasture improvement. ATTEND FOOTBALL GAME Among those from Washington who attended the University of Virginia—Washington and Lee football game in Charlottesville were Mr. and Mrs. George H. Davis, Mr. and Mrs. R. V. Snead, Mr. and Mrs. Ned, Jones and daughter, Miss Becky JonesCare of Juveniles ,To Be Discussed at Meeting Dec. 10 The problem of temporary care of juveniles is the need chosen by District 6, which includes Rappahannock county, of the Virginia Conference of Social Work for discussion at their meeting to be held Wednesday, December 10, at 8 p.m. at Madison school, Lee Highway, Falls Church. This is one of the three major needs developed in services for children that came out of the second regional conference on health and welfare held last May. Dr. John J. N. Finley, director of the Northern Virginia University Center will introduce the program and summarize the planning and development to date. The Honorable Hugh Reid, judge of the Juvenile and Domestic Relations court of Arlington will discuss the viewpoint of the court on interim care between custody and court action for juve mies. Miss T. Mary Deacham, Superintendent of Public Welfare of Fairfax county, will talk on the relationship between the court and welfare department in problems of temporary care. Dr. William Young, director of the mental hygiene clinic of Alexandria, will tell of the use of the mental hygiene clinic for juveniles under temporary care. J. H. Palmieri, director of social services of the Juvenile and Domestic Relations court of the District of Columbia will make suggestions of the needs and possible solutions to our problems of temporary care of juveniles as seen iby an outside observer. This meeting is open to all persons interested in the study and solution of this problem. The will of the people was expressed and the general recognition reflected that existing services for juveniles appearing before the courts have been inadequate by the provisions of the juvenile court law enacted during the 1950 session of the Virginia General Assembly, that directs the Department of Welfare and Institutions to “plan and establish an adequate and coordinated program of social services, probation and detention facilities to all juvenile and domestic rela tions courts.” It is disturbing to learn that 70 children were lodged in jail during the first nine months of 1952 in Arlington, and according to the , survey made by the National Probation and Parole Association of New York in 1®51, “In most places in Virginia, jail is the usual place where children are held pending a decision by the court.” This survey further points out that, “The expense of institutional care greatly exceeds the cost of providing adequate probation service in the child’s community. Therefore, it is false economy to “skimp” on serivce at the local level. Detention must not be construed as child storage for the convenience of the court. It should hav4 a therapeutic value to the child at a crucial time in his development and it should serve the court with information to supplement the probation officer's social investigation. The Department of Public Welfare and Institutions made a study of city and county jails and city jail farms for the period from July 1, 1949 to June 90, 1959. This study revealed that 198 children between 6 and 13 years of age had been detained in 46 jails and one jail farm during the period. Most of the jails serve only two meals a day and children are given the same fare as adults. Fresh milk and vegetables are rarities; the needs of children who require a special are ignored. Skimpy, illprepared, poorly balanced meals may not be a serious problem for children detained overnight, but for the 26 percent who are jailed for a week to as much as three months, or more, this kind of neglect has serious consequences. In most jails a separate section, or separate cell, is reserved for children, but usually it is badly situated so that youngsters can see, or hear, the adult prisoners. When the jails are crowded children are confined in the same cell block with adnlts. Daily, while being confined in the jails a great many children are exposed to hardened criminals, prostitutes, the depraved and the drug addicted. The effect on youngsters exposed to these experiences is uncalculable.” The conclusions and recommendations of this survey were, “That a detention home should be available to every child who requires secure custody. That we are dealing with an emergency that must be met now and can be met only by immediate, although not ideal measures; it cannot be met by a program that consists solely on long range planning.” Tax Notice —-'! * ' * Friday, December 5th is the last day to pay your taxes in order to save 5 per cent penalty.
