**■$>** “MARC80F DIMES” ENDS SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 7 VOLUME 4—NUMBER 14 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 5,1953 Earl Kilby Declared Corn King Earl J. Kilby, Woodville, was declared Corn King King of Rappahannock County at the banquet held last Friday night in the basement of Reynolds Memorial Baptist church at Sperryville, honoring those attaining the one hundred bushel per acre production goal in 1952. Mr. Kilby, who has never produced under 100 bushels of cofn per acre since first entering the contest five years ago, made a yield of 125.4 bushels. In doing so Mr. Kilby conducted the following cultural practices: planted an adapted variety (US 505) having a stalk every eight inches apart in the row with rows 42 inches apart thus allowing 18,750 stalks of com per acre. In addition he applied 300 lbs. of 2-12-12 fertilizer which was worked into the seed bed with an additional 300 lbs. applied in bands in the row at seeding. Also 200 lbs. of nitrogenous fertiliser was applied as a top dressing. Cultivation was shallow and just enough to hold down weeds. •' , The sterling silver challenge trophy, donated by Rappahannock Supply, will again go to Mr. Kilby for a year giving him two-thirds of a leg towards permanent possession. In addition Mr. Kilby won a bushel of adapted hybird seed com donated by Culpeper Farmers Coop, and $6 in cash as the winners share of proneds from membership fees.

Its firefighters got there just in time to extinguish a brush fire that would have destroyed both. The brush fire- started from a trash fire whipped out; of control by high wind and was racing rapidly toward the garage when the alarm was given. The department’s engine, onjy about a half a mile away in front of Elmer Jenkins’s garage, was there within minutes. This is the third serious brush fire put out by the AmissviUe VFD since it was organized only a few months ago. All was extinguished in time to avoid destruction of valuable property. Department members feel proud of their new department’s record: Three alarms, three successful put-outs. Response to the department’s plea for donations of cinder block has been so good that original plans for second-floor wood construction have been changed to build the new firehouse entirely of cinder block. \ Ml Farm and Home Electric Project To Begin Neit Week 4-H Farm and Home Electric project (Unit I) will begin classes next week. Enrollment this year was, so large it was decided best to divide the class. The county wide class, which includes 37 boys and girls, will be held at' the Washington Fire House beginning at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, February 10 and continue weekly through February 24. The Reager group which includes 16 boys and girls will get underway March 3 at 2 p.m. and continue weekly through March 17.

LELIA GENTRY Firemen’s Banquet The annual banquet honoring the Rappahannock Volunteer Fire Department on Friday was pronounced a success. This “get together” each year seems to stimulate and entourage the members to go forward. William F. Moffett, Jr., the toastmaster, was true to form (a Rappahannock man) with his eyes glancing at the kitchen door, "Billy” did not refrain from uttering his thoughts; as the first waitress entered, he exclaimed, “Here comes the banquet and here's when I sit down.” Mrs. George H. Davis, Jr., mayor of the town and a member of the auxiliary, presented, in the most unique manner, the check of $500 to • Chief L. V. Merrill. Mrs. Davis stated mat Mr. Merrill would be able to find out the age of the auxiliary, when he received the money, as he opened the tenth box, which was considerable smaller then the outside one, the check was discovered. Highlights of the evening were the inspiration and instructive addresses by W. H. Peters of Front Royal and Hon. Tom Frost of Warrenton. Mr. Peters told some very-amusing jokes, before entering into more serious phase of his talk, which was outstanding as he handled his subject in an interesting and most convincing manner. Speaking on “Co-operation,” Mr. Peters said: “My town is the place where my home is founded, where my business is situated, where my vote is cast, where my children are educated, where soy friends and neighbors dwelt and where my life is chiefly lived. It is my home spot for me. My town and community has the right to my civic loyalty. It supports me and I should support it. My town wants my citizenship, not my partisanship; my friendliness, not my dissension; my sympathy, not my criticism; My intelligence, not my indifference. My town supplies me with protection, tra'de, friends, education, schools, Churches and the right to free moral citizenship.” ^ W, F. Moffett Jr., introduced George H Davis Jr., formerly of Warrenton, who presented Representative Tom Frost of Warenton, IVORY ATKINS Persons Having completed Unit I may enroll in Unit II which as one would expect is a more advanced project. For these reasons Classes in Unit II will be held March 2| and 31 to be concluded with a tour of the new power plant of the Northern Virginia Power Company •which is located near Cedarville. Those who completed Unit I last year and have already indicated they will enroll in Unit II are: Pfeula Miller, Ivory' Atkins, Jimmy Sealock, Jacob Sisk, Leila Gentry, and Betty Johnson. In the past, several parents havs proven enthusiastic scholars in these project classes and will again be welcomed to attend with t^eir 441 members. Supervisors Meeting A problem of finances greeted the Board of Supervisors at its regular meeting, Wednesday, February 4, at 10 a.m. The meeting was called to order by Channan W. Curtis Campbell, with all six members present. Mrs. W. A Buntin, Supt. of Public Welfare, and Mrs. C. E. Johnson, member of the Board, presented a tenative welfare budget, to the board of supervisors for the year ending June 30, 1954. They asked for an increase of $34471* which if allowed, would bring into the county $4,300, making the 1953-54 budget $7320, in-, stead ot $6,985.30 as of 1952-53. Capt J. P. Cook stated that in view of the fact that the board had no way of determining the finances of the county until an assessment was maA» chat he would hesitate to recommend any increase at this time. After due consideration and the decision had to, be made because of the state welfare office, the members could not afford to allow this amount to be lost by the county. Mr. Cook moved that it be increased, which was seconded by Mr. Buckner All members voted to allow the $334.70 to be matched by $4,300. Dr. W R. Johnson appeared before the Board to ask an increase of 10% for the Health Budget. He gave a most convincing report of the value of their work with concrete examples. The same old story, “Where is the money coming from ” The board decided to take this matter under consideration and if finances were available they would allow the increase. Dr. Johnson atated that Mrs. Ifilton Gore, secretary of the Health Department for the county, had to be on duty during the day. However, having some spare tme which could be given to any other county official, and if the county would install an extension telephone for her to use, she would help other offices, could secure her services. P. D. Coldiron, state engineer, appeared before the board and stated the conditions of certain routes. It was moved by Mr. Cook and seconded by Mr. Latham to transfer $300 from the road budget of route 622 to route 729 for the purpose of constructing a bridge span. It was decided to construct shelves in the Judge’s office. Mr. Ingersol appeared before the board and was allowed $20.40 for a lamb killed by dogs. The budget committee was decided*' upon. Members for said county budget are J. M. Settle, Mrs. Roberta K. Massie, Robert L. Brown, W. F. Moffett Jr., and W. C. Campbell. March of Dimes Drive Closes Saturday The 'drive for the “March of Dimes” will close on Saturday. February 7 and as of date the contributions have not been encouraging. Those of you who have not sent in your contributions and wish to do so, send k as soon as possible to Mrs. T. C. Lea. county chairman. TB Clinic To Be fleiT At Washington Cooperating with the medical profession of the county, a tuberculosis clinic will be held February 9 and 10 in Washington, at Health Department, under the direction of a specialist from the State Department of Health. There will be no charge except for the chest x-rays at a maximum cost of one dollar ($1.00) per person. A written request for these examinations must be obtained from your doctor. H. H. Sandidge was an over-night guest of Mrs. W. F. Moffett and Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Moffett, Jr, on Tuesday.

RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia DIAL WASHINGTON 2851 Ll^CY CATHERINE BOWIE__Publisher Entered as second-class mail matter at the post office at Washington, Virginia SUBSCRIPTION: (in advance)_$2.00 a year Possible Soil Surrey It is still a “posiblc” soil survey for the county unless the people make it known that they want it. With the adjoining counties mapped and the soil types marked and in working order, the value of the soil suhrey is known. Farmers in Rappahannock realize that a soil survey would help them; one orchardisT believes it will be worth $100,000 to the county; the Rappahannock National Bank knows the value of such a survey and Isas donated office space to the workmen while they are in the county; the county agent has written letters to urge that this county be selected for survey—now comes the time when the people’s wishes will count. The biggest factor in obtaining this survey now lies in the people saying they want it. There are many, other counties in the State pleading for their county to be the one surveyed this year. Some counties are even putting up large cash donations to get the survey. Letters will count now. If you realize the value of a soil survey to you, write to Dr. S. S. Obenshain, Agronimist, V. P. I. Experiment Station, Blacksburg, Va., and say so. It’s a case of “speak now" pr regret it later. A Neighbor’s Welcome It was a warm arid sincere greeting given by the Hon. Tom Frost of Warrenton at the firemen's banquet ait Washington last Friday evening. Fauquier’s energetic and alert Delegate to the General Assembly gave the county a warm welcome into the association with neighboring Fauquier. He explained why Fauquier had said they did not welcome an association with neighboring Rappahannock. Fauquier had always had its own delegate, shared with no one, ahd they did not want to change; also, Mr. Frost stated, since D. F. Slaughter had requested that Rappahannock (be put back with Culpeper, then, he, Mr. Frost, would do nothing to go against the wishes of his friend. It’s explanation was pretty well known throughout the county, but coming from Mr. Frost, and accompanied with his warm welcome, it made the county people who heard him feel more comfortable about the new association with Fauquier county. Finance Campaign Of Boy Scouts Plans ate now being completed for the annual fund raising campaign for ithe Shenandoah Area Council Boy Scouts of America. The campaign will be conducted during Boy Scout week, February 7-13. This is the 43rd anniversary of Scouting in America. The local chairmen are: Flint Hill, Charles Wood; Washington, Mrs. George Davis; Sperryville, no chairman has been secured as yet. These chairmen are now securing workers who will do the soliciting. The funds raised are used to maintain the Shenandoah Area Council Washington As Viewed 8; Your Senator, A. Willis Robertson WHEAT EXPORT SUBSIDY REDUCES SUPPORT COST Congress was prepared to quicken its pace this week after receiving the personally delivered message of President Eisenhower. Committees which have been organised but have been waiting for an indication of the legislative program which the President would recommend are now prepared to start hearings on top items of legislation. The lull in Washington last week, m»iii»niHW»iMiiiiHmm«Mii«wMiMniiimniiimw>»W 1 The Time Hat Come,' the Walras said • . • February isn’t such a bad month. Twenty-three days from now it will all be over, anyway, so there isn’t reason to worry too much about it. The first day of spring is only six weeks away, and if we have the worst weather ever during the next six weeks, we have no howl coming; it has been a pretty good winter so far. e e o Someone told me that authors drink coffee because of the Balzac tradition. I labor under no delusions that 1 shall ever be an author, but in earning a living 1 do sometimes put a few words together in groups with a capital letter at beginning and period at end. 1 usually drink black coffee while 1 do it, but Balzac had nothing to do with it. 1 was drinking coffee like a fiend before I ever heard of Balzac. following confirmation of the Eisenhower Cabinet, gave me an opportunity for a quick trip to Southwest Virginia, where 1 addresdd a Democratic rally at Norton. In that speech 1 emphasized the importance to Southwest Virginia, as well as other areas, of a healthy program of foreign trade. I pointed out that the plan of “trade and not aid” now being advocated by a Republican President had long been sound Democratic doctrine and that I had actively supported this progrom since it was initiated by Cordell Hull in 1934. My immediate personal interest in this subject centers around the meeting of the International Wheat Council which opened in Washington on Friday, January 30. This is a continuation of discussions started in London last April by the forty-six nations participating in the International Wheat Agreement of 1949. More than two-thirds of the world’s wheat trade is being carried on under this agreement, -which set the maximum price which the four exporting nations. .(Canada, Australia, France and United States) could charge and a minimum price which the forty-two importing countries would pay, with a free market between those limits. The agreement will expire at the end of next July unless the participating countries agree to mew it. There is some opposition in the U.S. because of the subsidy cost, amounting to nearly $580,000,000 during the four year period. But those who favor he agreement point out that it will have permitted the farmers of the United States to export nearly a billion bushels of surplus wheat in an orderly manner while parity prices were being maintained on our home markets. Wheat is elgible for government loans at 90 percent of parity and the subsidy that may be paid by our government if the international agreement is extended will cost the taxpayers less than the loan value. Wheat growers will, of course, take the loan if they can’t find commercial markets at parity prices. We also must remember that Russia has wheat for export which she is willing to barter for .industrial supplies and our allies in Europe will undoubtedly get wheat from Russia before they will go hungry. I have been chosen to represent the Senate Appropriations Committee on the United States Committee which will advise the Secretary of Agriculture in connection with the current wheat council meeting and I shall, therefore, follow its deliberations closely. My objective will be a plan to preserve the foreign agricultural trade which is vital to our Nation as a whole, as well as to the farmers, but to keep the cost at an absolute minimum. » Someone told me, also, that Balxac died of overwork. Coffee never killed anybody, bat overwork has slain its millions. I’m remembering that thought with serious consideration, especially since H takes so little to overwork me. O o o With next Thursday Lincoln’s birthday, I quizzed the banks to see if they were going to have holiday. “No ma’am!” came the prompt reply, “We ain’t Yankees.'* Well, I didn't know. We always tease the bankers by telling them they take every excuse for a holiday (even Benedict Arnold’s birthday) and we didn’t know but what the Great Emancipator would be listed. t With one grandfather arriving late at Gettysburg under Longstreet's unfortunate division, and the other grandfather having arrived with Pickett's, the printers at Rappahannock News will come to work on Lincoln’s birthday at the usual hour. It would seem downright disrespectful to our grandsires to take the day off. A County Character The county has had—and still has—many folks referred to, affectionately, disgustedly, and by way of explanation, as “characters.” Will Starks has just completed a 60-day tour of duty at the large red brick building next to the Courthouse in Washington. “Old Will,” as he calls himself, is definitely one of the county's characters. Some people speak of him as “Poor Old WiU.” They recall that the associates of his younger days have gone on to their reward and left Will to battle the world alone. His 80-some years have grayed his once coal-black kinks. The only time Wilt is known to refer to himself as “Po’ Ole Will” is when he is trying to get a lawyer in the county to rise to his defense in Trial Justice Court. On such occasions ‘To’ Ole Will” will tearfully announce to the world that his lot is a hard one* and that “Mr. Lyle and Mr. Horace would never have let this happen to Ole Willf* Fifteen minutes later one is likely to see Wills bouncing stride going down the highway, a nice fat chicken in hand, on his way home for a supper of his own killing. “Ole Will” is no subject fov pity. As many a local citizen will comment: let me see you live as long as he has and never know a care nor a worry; he's neveT had to work for a living, and everyone has spoiled him.

He had been housed mad fed—«t county expense—since before Christmas. (No one can recall exactly why. He may have been drunk again; or he may have gotten into another fight with his ex-wife.) . Just prior 'to the date for WilTs venture forth back into the cold, cold world, a friend in Front Royal remembered the county’s famous colored man with a large donation of very fine clothes. Will stepped forth diked out fit to Idlll Prior to his leaving, Will was the perfect gentleman. He went to his hostess and thanked her for her kindness. He'paid her a compliment on her fine cooking by remarking that “Ole Will’s so fat from three meals a day that the folks in the county ain’t gonna know him.” He told the lady, who had been his unsought hostess for the past 60 days, that if ever she wanted any errands run, “Jos’ call on Will,” and he’d be delighted to be helpful. But Will insisted that he was not returning to the free lodging under similar circumstances, for, said he, “From now on Ole Will’s gonna’ treat Nannie like a lady!” Old Will is spoiled, there is no donbt about that. Old Will is likewise shrewd; his wits have kept him one jump ahead of retribution. A lawyer in the county once gave Will the straight truth. Will had been tearfully begging for legal aid, winding up his sorrowful plea with “The trouble with po' ole' Will that he’s jes’ an ole’ black nigger.” And the lawyer answered quickly, “And it’s lucky, too; any white man would have been hanged long ago for the things you ve done!* There are times when folks get so disgusted they feel like Will should be drowned in the nearest rain barrel for all his deeds. But Will is a county character, and as such, enjoys certain immunity. There remains one fact: if the county did not enjoy and apprecaate a “character,” he would not exist and thrive.

G. M. Prof itt Ordains Flint Hill Deacons The Rev. G. M. Profitt of the Hint Hill Baptist church conducted the ordination service for the incoming deacons at the 11 un. services on Sunday. The subject of Mr. Profitt's sermon was "Putting Out From the Land.” He was asisted in the ordaining of Miss Ruth Stevens, Mrs. Lewis Moore and Jacob Williams as the present deacons, James F Massie, Earl Edmonds, David Corbin, William Gilbert, Brue Wood and ■Charles Wood. Mrs. Charles Wood had charge of the decoration of the church for this service. Her color scheme was orange, green, and white, which was carried out in a most appropriate and impressive manner by using the subject of the message. T'Sgt Charles Lewis Stationed In Greenland THULE A B GREENLAND It was revealed today that T/Sgt. Charles R. Lewis, USAF, son of Mrs. Virginia Lewis, Sperryville, is stationed at this vast, new, top-ofthe-world Air Base. His Assignment as NCOIC, Commissary has until now been cloaked in the secrecy which has protected the building of this vital outpost in the Air Defense of the United States. Multi-million dollar Thufe Air Base is the farthest north of all Air Force installations, a scant 930 icy miles from the North Pole. In two short summers it has mushroomed from rough, rocky, airstrip with a dozen shacks to a gaint all year Ih-'-" " ~ airhead, with weather-tight barracks, hot and cold running water, electric lights, and other "normal" comforts of life which are totally unexpected in this ice-lockdd land of numbing cold. Commanding by Colonel Robert W. Humphreys of Wayne, Penn, the men of the Air Force here maintain their unending vigil, standing quand through the long winter night When temperature drops to a mind-numbing 40 below zero and gales spring up without warning, hurtling ferociously across the base with speeds as high as 150 miles an hour. Under these conditions, just staying alive becomes a major problem. If caught outside, men strive to find the ropes which are strung along all roads to serve as life lines to the nearest building, so they may fight their way to safety against the deadly whip of the arctic wind which can freeze exposed skin in 30 seconds. These are the conditions at a site which was select dd because of the comparative "mildness" of the weather. On the bleak Ice Cap Itself, temperatures drop to 80 and 90 below zero, and winds go up to 200 miles an hour or more. This Northeast Air Command defense bastion is located on the West Coast of Greenland, a Danish colony, and is the product of a joint military agreement between Denmark and US under the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Startegically situated on the polar air lanes, the control of which will be a major prize in any future war, it serves as a primary support for the defense of the free nations of the Western Hehisphere. Important work is seldom done when one is feeling important. ggggn1-'. gggg——" ■ ji DUMONT FIRST WITH THE FINEST IN TELEVISION Mailed with the newest All-Channel Antenna FRONT ROYAL APPLIANCE COMPANY C.

The biil each month is $11.25. It takes more than the $3 assessed five families to pay for one street light. In 1952^ in October there was no money in the Street light fund to pay for the lights for the rest of the year. Some people did not pay and it was discussed raising the annual fee to $4. Rather than do this, the PTA paid the street lights for the balance of 1952 and set the amount again for $3 in 1953. If everyone receiving notices pays $3, we will have $135 exactly. Notices have been sent out to all people reminding them that the street light funds are due.
