Rappahannock News, February 12, 1953

MB**# VOLUME 4—NUMBER 15 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 12, 1353 The Rappahannock Hunt, "A Recognized Hunt” At the annual meeting of the masters of the Foxhounds Association of America ( January 30, the Executive committee found that the Rappahannock Hunt had complied with all the requirements of the association and therefore, was entitled * to be a Recognized Hunt Briefly, in order to become recognized, a hunt club must first apply for registration with the association and serve a probationary period of one year. The club then applies in writing for •recognition. Following this, the District Representative inspects the chib and checks the applicant’s hunting establishment and hunting activities. For example, a minimum of twelve couples of entered hounds must be maintained and they must be obedient to voice and horn. Also there must be permanently established kennel and two hunting days a week to be scheduled. On January 22, Alexander McKay Smith, who is the Virginia District Representative, hunted with the club and found that the Rappahannock Hunt had complied with all requirements. Virginia has the largest number of Hunt Clubs in North America. There are twenty-one clubs, sixteen recognized, three registered and two inactive. Pennsylvania is next with twenty, followed by New York with ten and Maryland with eight One of the most interesting features of this year’s meeting was a discussion of questions irjp pertaining to all phases of fMdftmting, which were sent out to 109 hunts. Acceding to the Chronicle, 78 of these were returned. The Rappahannock Hunt is the only hunt that sponsors a hunt race, and one of the few hunts that has a junior race and a draft horse race. It will undoubtedly please the men to know that in the majority of hunts they outnumber the women. Rappahannock Garden Ctab Met With Mrs. Turner The Rappahannock Garden club met in the home of Mrs. L. J. Turner on January 28. Mrs. R. V. Snead gave a very interesting lecture on “The Use of Broad Leaf Evergreens in Landscaping.” The prizes went to the following ladies: Arrangement, Mrs. George Taylor first, Mrs. L. J. Turner second, *and Mrs. W. R. Williams third; Mrs. C. R. Hite won first in the horticulture display. The February meeting of the club will be held with Mrs. James Ml Settle on February 28. Mrs. Beecher, landscape architect from VPI will give a lecture and demonstration on pruning. The date of this meeting has been changed because of the change in Mrs. Beecher’s schedule. - The exhibit will consist of forced branches in antique containers. Bryant Whorton Bryant Whorton of Washington died Tuesday, February 10, in Front Royal Memorial hospital where he had been a patient for ten days. Survivors are his yvife, Mrs. Sissies Fincham Whorton, two sons and a daughter, Garence and William Whorton and Mrs. Roy Clatterbuck, all of Washington; and two brothers and three sisters, Frank Whorton of Culpeper,* Dick Whorton of .

Teske, of the VPI Horticultural Department, is undertaking a survey of the peach industry through letter to all growers requesting data on number of'trees by variety. A summary of these data will give a clear picture of the situation and will be of great help in planning a peach program. All Rappahannock peach producers are urged to cooperate with Mr. Teske by completing and returning the form letter which he has mailed each individual direct. A few crispy cracks appear in this months issue of the Cattle Feeder to quote: “He’s the kind of a guy who would marry Marilyn Monroe for her money.” Can’t imagine such a crack being made about a Rappahannock man! Shen-Valley has announced the Rappahannock stockholders meeting for Thursday, February 5 at 7:30 o’clock in the evening at the Court House. Jobs to get done include: Nominating a director, electing committeemen, and a report on 1052 operations. Any reader knowing the availability of good Hereford heifers, yearlings, or bred, calf hood voecinated, please report to the office. Have a local fanner needing around fifteen.

Shreve, who purchased the Hisle farm near Sperryville, reports having purchased several Angus heifers from leeway Farm. Don’t forget to buy your 1953 Alfalfa seed supplies as soon as such comes on the market. From the Corn Belt Cattle Feeder again: “Our idea of nonsense is an elephant hanging over a cliff with his tail wrapped around a daisy.” Enterprising Farmer’s Wife— While tasking a farm visit Monday I saw something that impressed me exceedingly. It was something one doesn’t run into just every day—nay, seldom in a month or so--something 1 really like to see; an enterprising person in action. As some of you know, Woodrow Coughlin is to be one of the two Pilot Farm Demonstrators in Rappahannock. I had been working on a five-year program of operation for the farm at the office when I found crop acreages would be outof-balance in 1966 in considering present plans, so decided had best go talk to Woodrow about a change. Found Woodrow and his wife out in a small field, he cleaning out an old fence row and she plowing the sod in extending the contour strips recently laid out by me wii uuuservauon service. Talked to Woodrow got the cropping plan idea straight and headed back to the car, noticing that Mrs. Coughlin had plowed a few yards with the tractor, stopped and dismounted and was scratching in the newly turned furrow with a potato fork. What do you guess she was doing? Since it was such a nice afternoon I thought she was getHing a few worms to fish with, but no, I was very much wrong. She was scratching out Japanese beetle grubs and placing them in a bucket to *ell to J. A. Ditman Company, manufacturers of Milky Disease Spore Dust used in protecting sods permanently from the damage done to roots by the grubs. Mrs. Coughlin looked up with a smile and said1 “It's tough work but life can be that way too and I get some extra money, about 14.00 an afternoon for a thousand (See RAPP-CHATS, page 4) Doll Show Held At Sperryrille School On January 27, at the Sperryville auditorium, Mrs. Keyser’s sixth grade room held a Doll Show.

Funds in hand at this time are sufficient to warrant beginning actual construction. The church in regular-business session on Sunday evening, February 1, authorized the Building Committee to go ahedd with construction on the pay-as-you-go plan. Actual construction got underway with excavation for the basement early this week with Sam Riley in charee. The house is to he a seven room rambler of frame construction. It is hoped that major portion of the construction can be completed at this time. The estimated cost of construction and goal of the Parsonage Fund Committee is $14,00. Approximately a little over half of this amount is now in hand and it is hoped that the remainder will be obtained in the near future. A second Parsonage Fund Day will be observed by the church on Sunday, February 15. The goal for the day is $1,000. However,, with the fact that actual construction has now gotten underway it is hoped that this goal will be reached and passed by a good margin. The church is proceeding on the pay-as-you-go plan and therefore can only complete the entire construction as the needed funds are received- Contributions by the members are the church's life’s blood it is to see its dream for a parsonage of its own become a reality. jCounuj Home INIWS Miar By Elizabeth Fuss SCHEDULE FOR NEXT WEEK Monday, Feb. 16, Huntly H.D. at 7:30 at Reager School.

McDaniel, of the Northern Virginia Power Co., was present at the town council meeting Tuesday evening to discuss the renewal of fran- - chise for the town of Washington. “The word ‘franchise* is misleading,” Mr. McDaniel explained, “since many people consider it granting an ‘exclusive right’ for a long period of time to a company.” Mr. McDaniel then stated that a franchise was no more than giving a company a right to set up poles-on property of the town. When the Northern Virginia Power Company took over the smaller companies throughout this section (Luray and Madison), work was begun renewing franchises to make all of approximately the same duration. Washington's present franchise does not expire until 1959 and the renewal discussed now will be for 23 years beginning on that date. Regular legal channels must be gone through before the franchise is accepted. Routine town business conducted by the lady-council included a request to place a stop-sign at the intersection where Blue Ridge Avenue enters Main Street; setting a tentative date for spring “clean-up” just prior to Garden Week; petitioning the judge to allow free water for the town’s fire hydrants and two fountains; inspection of die road leading to the town trash dump; and accepting an offer by Mr. McDaniel to have suggestions made for improving the street lighting in the town. The town council went on record as opposed to discontinuing one of the two present daily mail services through the county. Mr. McDaniel was acompanied by Mr. Haynes, also of the power company, and James W. Fletcher, attorney. Overseas Soldier Praises County Apple Juice A letter from a soldier overseas tells of enjoying the canned apple juice that comes from the “juice plant” at Sperryville. The letter, signed Pfc. Thomas T. Morgan, relates that the writer and many of the other soldiers first became acquainted with the apple juice when they arrived overseas last October and they've been enjoying it ever since. t. “When I get back to Louisiana next December I'll be looking forward to enjoying (the apple juice) that much more,” says the overseas soldier. “Thanks a million for furnishing us guys with such a fine and low priced drink.” Billy Kilby, at the Blue Ridge Fruit Growers, states that a rtumiber of shipments have gone for government use and that several times letters have come from soldiers all over the world congratulating the juice plant on the fine product. 4 Nokesville V.F.D.

RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At Washington, Rappahannock Connty, Virginia DIAL WASHINGTON 2861 m - - - - — .. . * ■ ■»- 1 ■■■ . LUCY CATHERINE BOWIE-—----~---* Publisher Entered as second-class mail matter at the post office at Washington, Virginia SUBSCRIPTION: (in advance)-~-— $2.00 a year No! Not Again! The latest news thrown at Rappahannock is that someone has suggested the stopping of half the mail service through the county. This new idea means only one daily mail trip from Front Royai to Culpeper and back, in place oz the morning and evening service both ways at present. It looks like we'll have to holler for Burr Harrison. He manages to think Rappahannock is a pretty good place and he usually sees we get looked out for. Maybe we’d all better start yelling—long and long ——or someone will suggest Rappahannock gets wiped off the map completely! If care is not taken, the county of Rappahannock is going to develop an inferiority complex. First, we got handed around in the redistricting without any respect to our wishes. Then, the bus company up and removed the bus service through the county, despite the protests of citizens. The bus from Fredericksburg to Winchester runs on Saturday only now. The county ego jumped up several notches when Governor ‘Battle remembered that Rappahannock still existed and named a judge from this county. Here we go — getting pushed down again—with somebody’s suggestion that the mail service get cut in half. It might be of interest to know just who made this suggestion? Does he live in the county and thinks his mail comes too often? Or does he live out of the county and doesn't know how we feel about it? Or maybe he suggested that all the mail throughout the state be cut in half in delivery service, especially in the locality where he lives? Or maybe he's getting ready to run for an office and thinks that advocating “economy” would better his condition? May we suggest that in place of cutting our mail delivery to one mail daily, that the fine fellow who had this brain storm just keep his thoughts to himself in the future, and leave us in Rappahannock alone. We like the mail service in Rappahannock; it's good, and we prefer to keep it that way. Correct Address Urged For License Registration . With the 1953 period of registration for Virginia motorists less than sixty (60) days away, arid the Division of Motor Vehicles preparing new applications for almost 1,250,000 licensees, Chester H. Lamb, Acting Commissioner, today urged all Virginia motorists who have changed their address since registering their vehicles last year to notify the Division immediately, furnishing the following information: new address, tide number, make and motor number, and license number, and name as shown on the old registration card. Change of address blanks may be secured from the Division’s 110 license agents throughout the State and seven branch of fives located in some Qf the principal cities of the States. If a Virginia motorist plans an extended trip out of the State during the registration period, March 15, to April 15—there are fifteen days of grace between March 31 to April 15, midnight—he should leave his correct forwarding address in brder that he may receive fads registration card. “Failure to notify the Division of change of address and the other information listed above works a hardship on the license and may cause him considerable inconvenience, especially if through failure to supply the correct address, he does npt receive his application card promptly," said Mr. Lamb.

Willis Robertson DEMOCRATS WILL SUPPORT EISENHOWER PROPOSALS President Eisenhower’s first message to the Congress—calling for a positive foreign policy of international cope ration, including world trade, and a “middle way” in domestic affairs—presented broad outlines of a program which I and other Democrats will gladly support. Practically every time in recent years when I have spoken of international problems, 1 have emphasized, as President Eisenhower did, that no single country can alone defend the liberty of all nations; that mutual security requires mutual cooperation and that mutual cooperation will be promoted by mutually beneficial foreign trade. I was glad he called, once more for a practical unity of Western Europe and warned that our help to other nations must be measured by their efforts to do their share of our tjommon task. The President’s announcement that the Seventh Fleet would no longer shield Communist China from Nationalist Chinese raids took the headlines, but is, I believe, of limited immediate significance. It is not belived in Washington that Chaing Kai-shek’s forces on Formosa could now maintain themselves on the mainland without our help and die President and Secretary of State have made it clear that the order to the fleet did not involve providing such help. Current thinking also is that there is no immediate way to win a military victory in Korea without hazarding a larger war which neither we nor our allies want. In discussing foreign trade, President Eisenhower properly recommended removing some existing harriers and extending the Reciprocal Trade Agreements. But he added: “this objective must not ignore legimate safeguarding of domestic industries, agriculture and labor standards.” My fear is that many Republicans will place a broader interpretation on that than the President intended. There is no tariff, or a very small one, on most of the raw materials we need, such as rubber and ore. What Europe wants to sell us is manufactured goods, on which there are some rather high tariffs. The question will be whether “safeguarding domestic industries” is to be interpreted as meaning the large interests of farmers and others dependent on foreign markets are to be jeopardized in order to help some of our less efficient producers meet foreign price competition. I have repeatedly advocated the program now proposed by the President which would put balancing the Federal budget ahead of tax reduction. I am in accord with his view that under present conditions we do not need to continue price and wage controls but that We still need some controls over materials essential to our defense. His promise of executive action to increase the efficiency of the Post Office Department, which has been running on too large a deficit basis, is to be commended and the President is on cound ground when he says that we must be strong in arms and strong in productivity but, above all, strong in our spiritual resources. I am glad that he opens his cabinet meetings with prayer. The likenesses of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Andrew Jackson and Woodrow Wilson look down upon those cabinet meetings. The first three did much to give m a Republic; the latter two did much to preserve it The problems facing President Eisenhower are no less grave. TAf Time Hat Comm,9 Someone has tried to tel! a story of the l^dy who had the doctor prescribe the following: “Ma’am, get yourself a job—even if it doesn’t pay anything—but be occupied from 9 to 5." The day some doctor tells me that I’m gonna shoot him—-dead! It’s not fair to tell that story without the preamble. The lady had always worked. Her habits were geared from “9 to 5” and when'she tried to retire, it just woudn’t work. She was restless and began to have imaginary illnesses. It is not too far off to suggest that the same thing would happen to most anyone, if, after years of work, a fellow tried to stop and do nothing. Most of us would be miserable. We know that from the acute agony that befalls when enforced inactivity hits; don’t pity the guy who has a broken leg for the hurt in the leg—pity him for the weeks he has to sit and wait for that pesky leg to mend. o o o A most pleasant affair it would be to print a newspaper, if one could just prfnt the stories that get told. However, and here is the draw-back, it’s difficult to trace the tales down and find out how much is truth and how much is embroidery. Take as a sample the story of the visiting revenuers* in the county a couple of weeks ago. (There’s absolutely no way to know if there is one grain of truth, one ounce, or a pound or a ton, in the whole story.) Anyway, so the reports go, revenuers came into the county; located a still, with mash on hand; estimated that the fellow would have about three imore days to wait before he could make his “run;’’ decided that Monday would be the day to catch him redhanded; and departed to spend a quiet week-end at home. Bright and early Monday morning they were back on the job—-to find the territory as bare as any scene in the woods! Gone—still, mash, man, and lilcker! Just like they had vanished from a nightmare! A search found the still tfied up in one tree, the worm tied up in another. The bootlegger they sought had finished up his business on Sunday; they had misjudged the timing. Please do not ask any questions: that’s the way the story was told to me. I wasn’t there; I didn’t see it; and what’s more I don’t believe it. o o o For wild story Number 2, take this one: The wires in one village of the community m.at be foaled up—but Pitts Park THEATRE Frbjt Royal, Virginia THURS., FEB. 12 VAN JOHNSON PATRICIA NEAL —in— / “Washington Story* ■ -r= FRI.-SAT., FEB. 18 - 14 ANTHONY DEXTER JODY LAWRENCE — in — “THE BRIGAND** (Color by Technicolor) SUN. - MON. - TUES. — 3 DAYS — FEBRUARY 16 - 16 - 17 MARGE and GOWER * CHAMPION DENNIS O’KEEFE *•— in —“EVERYTHING I HAVE IS YOURS** (Color by Technicolor) WED.-THURS., FEB. 18 - 19 GIG YOUNG KEENAN WYNN - In — ‘HOLIDAY for SINNERS* i completely.

It would have been easy to understand ii it hadn’t been for that private line part; the age-old evesdropping on party telephone lines is as old as Mr. Bell’s invention. The part that baffles is the “private line” angle. The tale continues by saying that the telephone company is working on the trouble. Ignorance of the working principles has me baffled. Let me see, the radio is wireless, while telephone has wires. How come they get fouled up? Aw-aw, heck! Why worry!

Around seven o'clock Monday, Clarence Fincham, because it seemed to be such a beautiufl, calm day, decided to set fire to some brush and rubbish on his “Toll Gate" property. At first the idea worked beautifully, so Mrv Fincham continued to let the fire spread gently, but around 11 o'clock a keen wind sprang up and the fire began to spread. In a §hort time be realized that he alone was helpless, so he called the Fire Department Within a few minutes the members including a group of high school boys appeared on the scene and within half an hour the fire was conquered.

Come to think of it Mrs. Coughlin was doing something more than just gathering grubs to sell. In doing so she was helping her husband get ready for spring planting and with twenty-odd thousand fewer grubs on the farm there will likely be fewer adult Jap beetles to damage crops this summer. And, yes, folks I’ll wager you Mia.

Mrs. Cox, acting president, opened the meeting with the reading of the following poem. "Do You Just Belong ?” Are you an active member, the kind that would be missed? Or are you just contented that your nameus on the list? Do you attend the meetings and mingle with the crowd ; Or do you stay at home and crab both long and loud ? Or you take an active part, help the association along; * Or are you satisfied to be the kind who “Just Belongs ?” Do you ever go to visit a member, who is sick; Or leave the work to just a few, then talk about the “clique?” There is quite a program scheduled that means success if done; Artd it can be accompanied with the , help of every one. So attend the meeting regularly, help witlyhand and heart; Don’t be “Just a member, .but take an active part.

Sperryville Dances Prove Entertaining-and Profitable Reporting on the recent monthly dances, the Sperryville Fire Company announces with pride that the dance Friday, February 6, continued the gradual growth of crowd and finances for the fire company. Sponsoring these round dances -once a month was a discouraging business at first Several of the first dances barely made expenses, the .treasurer reported. With this last dance, business is showing an improvement Besides paying all expenses,-and purchasing' a piano (so the orchestras need not use the school piano, the fire company has $204 profit on hand. The original plan to hold these round dances was met with some fear that the project would fail financially. Square dances seem to make money, but round dances had smaller crowds. Some advocates of the round dance said there were many people who preferred the round dance, and if the orchestras were good and the floor not too crowded, people would come. This- latter idea proved correct. At the dance Friday night an attempt was made to get everyone to register. The two purposes here were to find out where the people were from and get the addresses in order to notify therh when the next dance would be. It was found that 17 counties were represented at the dance. Whereas the average square dance is sport shirt-and-blue-' jeans, the* Sperryville dances are strictly coatand-tie. The atmosphere is friendly, and the general pronouncement is “the dances at Sperryville are a success." Church Services Rappahannock Methodist Charge services this Sunday will be at Willis Chapel at 9:45 a.m.; Flint Hill at 11 am; and at Sperryville at 7:30 p.m. Rev.

Rente 522 tcdcwfi Su4ine44 demands modern tnefAcdb 4o Aottayh cooAintj MODERN ELECTRIC RANGE Maybe you are not in business for yourself but you've heard enough about present day problems to realize the importance of modem methods and equipment. Besides making work easier-—they save money when every penny counts. And you know a home is much like a business. It has problems of income and expense, depreciation, and maintenance, expansion and replacement—even personnel problems. . That comparison started me thinking. If a commercial business needs modem equipment, a “home business” deserves the same consideration. So I did some checking on stoves. I found an electric range would save time and work because it is cleaner, fully A automatic and more convenient. It would save money because I would always get perfect results, no spoilage and lower operation costs. I would also get o cooler kitchen and better, tastier food. So for “business” reasons I bought o modem electric range. , For the sake of your“home business”! suggest that you consider an electrical range. t M demands a Your Electric Appliance Dealer or NORTH to VIRGINIA POWER CO.
