Rappahannock News, December 18, 1952

VIRGINIA DEC 1 9 1991 TA'Ifi LiBtlA VOLUME 4—NUMBER 7 r -W$2.00 pin yeas $700 Worth of Tools Stolen from Highway Garage Friday morning, December 5, when Robert W, (Buck) Brown and his brother, Edward Brown, entered their place of business, Highway Garage, on the Sperryville-Washington highway, they found .that the place had closing hours the night before and opening hours that morning. It is estimated by the Brown brothers that the loss is between $700 and $800 worth of mechanic’s tools and auto accessories. Less than ten dollars in cash in the cash register had disappeared also. The thieves must have entered through the side rear door, using a •skeleton key, for there were no signs of locks broken, nor windows forced. Notification was sent immediately to the Sheriff and to state investigators, who were soon on the scene. To •date, no news helps to solve the mystery and find the thieves. There was no insurance on the tools and accessories, and it looks as if Christmas is going to be pretty slim for the Browns. The expensive tools had to be replaced immediately, since a mechanic can’t work without them. Revoked License Brings Jail Sentence Friday, December 12, marked the first case in Rappahannock county -when failure to turn in a revoked ■driver’s license caused a jail sentence. Ten days in jail, right before 'Christmas, was the subject’s penalty for failing to answer a request to turn in his driver’s license after it had been revoked. Inspector Miller, of Luriy, stated that the Division of Motor Yehicles notifies a person to send a revoked license in to Richmond, and if this is not done immediately, then the subject is carried into court and a fine and jail sentence result Driver’s permits are revoked for two charges of reckless driving within 12 months, and drivng under the influence of intoxicants. Either or iboth of these offences suspends a driver’s permit at the hour of conviction and the permit should be mailed to Richmond. Sneads In Auto Accident Saturday evening as Mr. and Mrs. R. V. Snead and family, Ray, Dana and Sam, and Miss Mary Miller Wood were reluming from Washington, D. C in route 211, between Rmkland arfd New Baltimore, when a truck jammed into the rear of Snead’s car. Both vehicles were damaged, but the passengers received -only a few bruises and stiff necks. The 1952 Chevrolet pick-up truck, owned by the Gallaghen Farm, was firiven by Henry C. Jenkins. Mr. Jenkins has never had an accident or a permit during his twenty-odd years in operating.a car. He was given permission to drive by the owner of the pick-up. The Sneads aryl Miss Wood were returning from a visit to Mr. Snead’s sister, Miss Marjorie Snead, a patient at Garfield hospital. V. F. W.

Shirley Burke gave report on County Council and Gladys Jenkins led the club in Christmas carols, their De cember program. Project work this month was the “washing of a sweater.” In the Christmas rush too many toys are bought hastily or on impulse and they prove disappointing. Novelties that appeal to adults often hold only brief interest for the child because he can do so little with them. Many toys with eye appeal are poor investments because they are shoddily made or are made so that the child cannot use them successfully. A familiar example of this is a doll with fancy clothes that cannot be removed for dressing and undressing or even to keep clean. V The best investment is the toy suited to t)te child’s age, interest and play needs, especially that he can use in many ways and that is sturdy enough for long use. Simple toys that have stood the test of time are gen(Sm H-D NEWS pmf 10) D. L Grosedose Appointed Local Forest Warden > Chief Forest Warden Raymond M. Johnson of Rappahannock County announces the appointment of Donald L. Grosedose, Vocational Agriculture Teacher of Rappahannock County High School, as Local Forest Warden. With the apppointment of Mr. Grosedose it will increase the fiVe control organization of Rappahannock County to 17 wardens. This will be one warden to each 2,824 acres of woodland which has to be protected from forest fires. This, as you will notice, is considerable forest acreage for so few men to protect, but with the asistance of the regular fire fighting crews which the present wardens have registered to work under them and the cooperation of the general public in responding to re quests to help fight a forest fire, the Chief Warden is of the opinion that most of the fires in the county can be controlled before they develop into large fires. Mr. Groseclose will be given a commission by Governor Battle which will convey the authority •to hire fire fighters and to help enforce the State forest fire laws in accordance with instructions from the State Forester and the Chief Forest Warden. Mr. Groseclose will head up in his school one of the most important and deeply appreciated fire fighting units within the Virginia Forest Service Organization, that is, the well known K.V.G. (Keep Virginia Green) boys. These boys are trained in forest fire control methods and are used as an auxiliary force to be called upon to help suppress arge forest fires throughout the county. They also do very important and valued work in spreading the gospel of forest fire prevention. The value of the K.V.G. Crews is recognized by everyone who appreciates our forests and wants to help Keep Virginia Green. Forest Wardens have the authority to summon able bodied men for forest fire fighting. Anyone who detects a smoke in the vicinity of woodland or brush land should investigate same and if they find that the fire is out of control or burning unattended, they should call Mr. Gboseclose or Mr. Johnson, Chief Forest Warden of the county. Council Meeting At a regular meeting of the Town Council of the town of Washington, Rappahannock county, Virginia, held on the ninth day of December, upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the Mayor was instructed to convey the following resoluton to Delegates Tom Frost and D. t French Slaughter: Whereas, the General Assembly at . a special session in December, 1952, passed an Act redistricting the State of Virginia for selection of members to the General Assembly; and, Whereas, by such act approaching county representation, Rappahannock was aligned with ^’auquier for the selection of a representation in the House of Delegates; Whereas, Rappahannock was formerly combined with Culpeper, we regret the loss of our former representative and good friend D. French Slaughter, who ably co-operated in promoting our best interests through mutual understanding of our counties. Now, therefore, be it resolved that this Council expresses its good fortune and pleasure of joint representation with Fauquier county and state its desire 'for a high degree of cooperation in selecting the most qualified person available to promote our common interest. , . Respectfully submitted Dorothy C. Davis, Mayor CHRISTMAS PAGEANT Sunday, December 21 at 10:45 a.m. a Christmas Pageant by the children and young people of the Sunday school will be given ia the basement assembly room of the Reynolds Memorial Baptist church. iMINttfllltiaiMtlfM mnhiiihi RAPP - OHATS By: W. H. Lyne County Agent Question of the Year: What effect wilt the new regulation issued by the &ate Veterinarian governing sale of cows (by the head) through livestock markets have; on cattle prices; in controlling Brucellosis etc, the dealer in livestock? ? ? ? The only information the writer can find on the subject w|ich was received by him from the State Department of Agriculture is in the July issue of Bulletin No. - 514 “Department of Agriculture Immigration of Virginia." Under division of Animal Industry this bulletin states.” Among other things, these regulatons provide that all dairy and breeding cows not accompanied by a health chart shall be tested by a veterinarian at the market, unless they are sold for immediate slaughter.” Representatives of the Front Royal Livestock Market and a couple of Rappahannock Livestockmen attended a meeting in Staunton. I believe in August, on this regulation. At conclusion of this meeting the belief ,was that the idea of putting this regulation enforce had been squelched. Now it has come to the fore again and if I’m informed correctly, and I believe I am, here is the sum and substance: Beginning Jahuary 1, 1953, no cow can be sold at any livestock market in Virginia by the head unless she has been tested and found free of Bangs disease within thirty days prior to date of sale. George Wallahan advised by telephone last Saturday night his market plans to begin advertising this fact this week. I’m inclined to think this regulation will, in Virginia, throw a lot of “cheap beef’’ on the market. Certain cattle prices received by farmers have already declined 33 1/3% in tlie past 12-14 months. All cattle prices are on> the decline possibly with the exception of dairy cattle. What about the herds that were adult vaccinated against Bangs with the State Veterinarian’s approval? A vast majority will always react positive to any Bangs Test. Must such cows be sold by the pound rather than by the head which usually fetches more to the farmer.? Are there enough Veterinarians in Virginia to do the job? I understand there are two tests to determine whether a cow has or has not Bangs disease namely the agglutination test (which requires 4-6 days between bleeding and getting results On the test), and the plate method, which can be done on the spot in 2-4 hours. Virginia heretofore hasn’t recognized the Plate test. If it hasn’t been accurate enough for general acceptance hereto fore is it now? Livestock markets certainly could not hold cows 4-6 days to learn vvheher hey do or do not have Bangs disease while the agglutination test is in process. ■ . in marketing processes several cows usually go to market in the same truck or are penned together at least for a while at the market. Let’s say four cows go to market in the same truck, three react clean and the fourth has Bangs. This cow has exposed the others, yet they could be sold by the head as “clean tnimals” and would be dangerous to take home and put with the farmer-buyer’s herd. I’ve always heard Bangs disease is very contagious' consequently the question „ in my mind is . . Will the regulation be effective in controlling or helping to control Bangs disease or Brucellosis? My guess is it will not. My guess is the rqgulaton will also create a greater amount of selling or trading from the dealer’s truck.

Subscription: _$2.00 a year Can Ton Keep Christmas? Are you willing to forget what you have done for other people, and to remember what other people have done for you; to ignore what the world owes yon and to think what you owe the world; to put your rights in the background, and your duties in the middle distance, and your chances to do a little more than your duty in the foreground; to see that your fellow men are just as real as you are, and try to look behind their faces to their hearts, hungry for joy; to own that probably the only good reason for your existence is not what you are going to give to life; to close your book of complaints; to against the management of the universe and look around you for a place where you can sow a /ew seeds of happiness—are you willing to do these things even for a day? Then you can keep Christmas. --^-Henry Van Dyke No Door Knob Needed William Hodman Hunt, great English artist of the Pre-Raphaelite school, painted a garden scene which was hung in the Royal Academy in London. The painting, appropriately called “The Light of the World,” shows the Master standing in the garden at night, holding a lantern. He is knocking on the door and awaiting an answer from within. A critic looked at the painting, turned to Mr. Hunt and said: "Lovey painting, Mr. Hunt, but you have forgotten something. That door upon which the Master is knocking— is it never to be opened ? You’ve forgotten to put a knob on the door.” v. Mr. Hunt smiled with great understanding. “My friend that door on which the Master is knocking is not just an ordinary door. It is the door to the human heart. It needs no knob, for it can only be opened from with’ 99 in. Interesting Facts THE TEARS from your eyes are the most powerful germ-killers devised by nature.

Rales Governed Life of Store Clerk 100 Years Ago California settlers of the goldrush days were not all of the swashbuckling sort described in fiction. In a men’s-furnishings store established in San* Francisco in 1853 a prospective clerk was handed rules of the house before he could be trusted to do any selling over the counter: Store must be kept open from 6 a.m. to 9 pm. the year around. Store must be swept; counters, bases, shelves and showcases dusted. Lamps trimmed, filled, and chimneys cleaned; pens made; doors and windows opened; a pail of water, also a bucket of coal, brought in before breakfast. Store must not be opened on the Sabbath unless necessary and then only a few minutes. The employee who is in the habit of being shaved at the barber, going to dances and other places of amusement, will give his employer reason to be suspicious of his integrity and honesty. Each employee must not pay less than $5 per year to the church and must attend Sunday school regularly. Men employees are given one evening a week for courting, two if they go to prayer meeting. After 14 hours of work in the store, the leisure time should be spent mostly in reading. —Christian Science Monitor -iiiiiniuniitiiMiiiMuiiinii 'The Time Has Come* the Walras said I asked a fellow the other day, "Has your boy from the city been to see you lately ?” "Oh, yeah,” came the quick reply. "You can bet he has. Didn't stay long; made a short visit. No matter how far away in the city a boy gets, you can bet he can smell fresh meat back in the country.” • o o o * The teacher denies it, but this story is told anyway. The teacher was testing the knowledge of her class of beginners. Slapp ing a quarter on the desk, she asked, "What is that?” Quickly a small boy piped up, "Tails!” o o e We've heard of these Christmas clubs, where a regular weekly deposit at the bank is mailed back to you just before Christmas, but a woman we know has established an unorthodox method of setting up her Christmas* shopping fund Never having much success in, keeping her checkbook straight, this lady has solved her problem by keeping the record without cents. If a bill is for $7.30, she makes out the check for that amount and records it as $8. If the amount is for $10.74, she enters it as $11. At the end of the month, after making out the household and personal checks, she has a balance of about $20 that she thinks kie spent but didn’t. At the end of the year, there it is—her Christmas fund. Fortunately, her husband is not an accountant, and also, he is a very patient man. With the approaching end of the year, the realization comes again that old age is creeping up on us. It seems I’ve hardly become accustomed to writing 1952 before I must start in on 1953. What with rheumatism, and a few other signs that mark the passage of many years, we would have cause to be unhappy—but there’s too much to enjoy and too much to do to allow time for worry about the years. The future looks bright. Take, as a shining example, the story of a five-year-old in the county. Yes, sir, Rappahannock has the makings of a fine business man in that youngster. The other day, the five-year-old lad informed granddaddy that there was no feed for his two pigs and slop on hand was insufficient. “I'll tell you what, Granddaddy,” said the young business manager, “you buy the feed with your own money and don't take it out of my bank. I'll give you one of the pigs.” The arrangement was made. The rest of the day the boy was unusually quiet and showed preoccupation. Granddaddy recognized the signs of a young mind at work. After a while the plans came out “111 give you one of the pigs, Granddaddy,” spoke up the young genius, “but I've decided that when they are big and are sold, I’ll keep the money for both of them.” Granddaddy has a sneaking suspicion that he came out at the bad end of the bargain. o o o What is called intuition in women is that wh«ch when found in men is usually known as suspicion. o o o You can’t plow a field by turning it over in your mind.

The mimeographed, small publication is the sixe of regular typewriter paper, arid its three pages are held together by a small staple. Boldly emblazoned across the masthead is a large sun, with its heavy rays pointing in all directions. The paper's motto is printed just below the name: "Do unto others as you’d have them do unto yoa” Evelyn Tyler Miller is listed as editor, with Eleanor Jenkins • as assistant editor. Gass officers of the seventh grade are listed along with the staff, which gives the impression that it is a class publication, rather than that of the school, but this impression dies when the first page carries a list of birthday anniversaries for the month of November and names first, second and third grade students and on through the seventh grade. The newspaper carries on (and only one) very conspicuous advertisement. “Buy at Lea Bros., Washington, Va. Best of quality in both goods and clerks,” says the ad (with the large word “advertisement” printed above the notation.) A history of Sperryville School appears as a feature story on the front page.
