' Amissrille VFD Adopts Pay-As-You-Go Policy In a lively discussion at its March meeting last week (March 4) the AmissvHle VFD decided to slow up construction of its new firehouse until more money became available. The action was based on Treasurer Theadore Barron’s report (that construction funds were almost exhausted. Simultaneously the building com* mittee reported that the upper floor was still incomplete, a well had to be drilled for a water supply, and many other needs had to be met. A motion offered by A. C. Latham, seconded by Fire Chief Charles 'Compton, to adopt a pay-as-you-go policy of construction was put to vote by President Thomas Tear and carried 16 to 8. Proponents of the motion maintained that not enough emphasis was being placed on fire fighting equipment. Members were unanimous in agreeing, however, that more effort had to be made to get community donations, and that a strong drive for funds was necessary. Announcing that C. M. M. Green had donated $500 on top of other previous gifts of cash and materials, President Tear declared: “We've got to interest every member of the community to contribute to this community project to the extent of his ability, even if it is only a small sum. Few of us can pfford to be a ■generous as Mr Green but all of us can contribute something. Even a dollar win help.” 7 Other donors to the department’s firehouse in .addition to Mr. Green wcr^jypnouneefc McDaniel, Culpeper, $25; Wv A. Laing, Sr., Elmer T. Jenkins, L. H. Luttrefl, all of Amissville, 1G0 cinder Mocks each; Frank Kinsey, $5. Plans for a minstrel show of the building dedication were almost discussed at the meeting. Local talent will be scouted. Col. J.

RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia DIAL WASHINGTON 2851 LUCY CATHERINE BOWIE -___Publisher Entered as second-class mail matter at the post office at Washington, Virginia SUBSCRIPTION: (in advance) - $2.00 a year A Real Hope By George Peek (George Peck is chairman of the Board of the National LaborManagement Foundation and Executive Editor of its official public cation, PARTNERS.) Anyone who has read my column consistently over the years will know that I 4m a most enthusiastic admirer of the 4-H Club organization. Ih a recent article, 1 pointed out that the future of agriculture is one thing about which we need entertain no concern-— because growing to manhood and womanhood on America’s farms are 2 million boys and girls who are being thoroughly trained through membership in 4-H Clubs, to take over the huge task of running those farms and of feeding America, as well as other "parts of the world. In December of last year some . ■■■-• 1,200 of these 4-H Club members met in Chicago for the 31st National 4-H Club Congress. These were the winners of 4-H Club projects conducted under the State and Federal Extension Services. In traditional Chicago manner these youngsters were royally entertained. They had heaps of fun, but the business end of the Congress was not overshadowed by the festivity. Sometimes I think that nothing better could happen to all of us ancient Democrats and Republicans than to be given the opporEJ tunity, for a few hours or days, to see things through the bright, clear eyes of intelligent and wideawake young men and women. Anyone fortunate enough to look in on this 4-H Congress was given just such an opportunity. Literally, it was a treat for tired old eyes and jaded ears. As a fur-instance, Lawrence Beymer, age 20, of Montpelier, Indiana, was a star performer. For establishing an unusually fine, all-around 4-H record, he had been selected as an International Farm Youth Exchange Delegate for 1062, and Jpst summer and fall spent four months in Holland. At one of the sessions of the 4-H Congress, Lawrence was reporting his experiences to the State Champions for 1952 in the National 4-H Farm and Home Safety Program, which is sponsored annually by General Motors Corporation. Concluding his presentation, Lawrence addressed this inspiring charge to his young audience: “There are three things I want you to remember tonight if you forget everything else I have said. First, young people in foreign countries are just the same as we are. We have the same hopes, desires and fears. We hope for peace ^pd prosperity. We fear war and want. “Second, 4-H Club Work isn't the most important activity you can be in today. What's the use of building up a herd of purebred animals if they must be slaughtered to feed an invading army, as happened in Holland? What’s the use bf learning to sew fine clothes if you can’t find material or someplace *to wear them? What’s the advantage of a perfectly decorated room if a tank comes through the wall as 1 saw evidence of in Holland? The great, est activity anyone can be in today is working for world peace. None of us are doing enough. ’"Thirdly, just because you’ve won national 4-H honors, please v don’t think you’re through. When they asked me in Holland what 1 thought American youth needed most, I said, ’better examples.’ You are and will be the example for hundreds at home. If you really deserve these honors you have won, and I’m sure you do, you’re far from through. You have just begun.’’ It must have sounded a bit strange to our friends in Holland to hear a champion of champions from America telling what we need most in this country is “better examples”—here, where we too o£ten take such stuffy pride in our standard of living, just because it happens to be the world’s best. There was no smugness in Lawrence Beymer’s attitude. No complacency. No satisfaction with things as they are. Those remarks of a young champion talking to other young champions had a most refreshing ring—they sounded a rear hope for the future of America. 1 / WE MAKE ’EM FIT FOR YOU!

Willis Robertson PROBLEM IS TO MAKE CUT IN FUNDS STICK Hie first appropriation bill passed nearly 6 per cent below the total asked by the Administration.‘It would be wrong to assume, however, that this indicated what can be done with the budget requests for the next fiscal year. A large part of the reduction of more than a billion dollars in this bill, which was to provide funds for the remainder of this fiscal year, resulted from allowing the Defense Department to transfer available funds. This means that unless we later eliminate some activities which have been authorized, the projects which lost funds this year will ask for them in the regular budget. On my motion the Senate Appropriation Committee approved an amendment to this hill which wiU allow Alexandria and Arlington and Fairfax Counties to count 'school ' children whose parents are employed on federal property in die District of Columbia or Maryland in determining their share of the federal aid which is being given to school areas abnormally burdened by expansion of defense activities. x The conferences in Washington last week and this week between the! British Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary Eden and Chancellor of the Exchequer Richard Butler and American officials are highly significant because Of their relation to our efforts to shift from a program of foreign aid to one of balanced foreign trade. Mr. Eden gave assurance, on arrival in Washington, that the British mission was not here to ask for more WASHINGTON THEATRE Show: 7tlS and 9:00 P.1^ FRI., MARCH 13 VAN HEFLIN PATRICIA NEAL “weekIend WITH FATHER” Cartoon - Serial SAT., MARCH 14 WILD BILL ELLIOTT —in— “Wagon Tracks West” Cartoon - Serial rUES.-WED, MARCH 17 - 18 DONALD O’CONNOR FRANCIS, the Talking Mule “Frauds at West Point” _Now - Comedy Pitts Park ' THEATRE Fmt Royal, Virginia THURS., MARCH 12 TONY CURTIS PIPER LAURIE “Son Of All Baba” (Color by Technicolor) FRI.-SAT., MARCH 18 - 14 ROBERT RYAN ROCK HUDSON JULIA ADAMS — in — “HORIZONS WEST” (Color by ^Technicolor) SUN. - MON. .

This thought was reemphasized by Mr. Butler who said that the Sterling nations no longer wanted preferences or a discriminatory bkJc with a ring fence around it Through our ‘givf away' program since the end of World War II our exports have been averaging fivd billion dollars a yfear more than our imports. Last year when we cut down’ on economic aid, our ^exports of farm products fell off thirty per cent and the effect upon farm prices soon was apparent Wheat, for example, dropped some thirty cents a bushel in the free market, notwithstanding exports under the International Wheat Agreement For the last five weeks representatives of over forty nations have been t Washington for a new »ent but have been dead* the exporting nationsthe United States, Canada, Australia and Prance—will not agree taHhe low ! price demanded by importing nations; If those delegates leave Washington without reaching an agreement, it is not likely that one can be reached before the present agreeynent expire* on June 30. That emphasizes the necessity for continuation of tha Reciprocal Trade program. The American producer sells his goods for dollars orily and the exchange of any other country is worthless to him unless and until converted into dollars. But there are only two ways in which foreign nations can get dollars. One is for us to give them away and we have tried that program and it has* failed. The other is for us to huy foreign goods and pay dollars for them. If we can 'obtain genuine cooperation with the British Commonwealth nations toward this end—which means that they must eliminate some of their own barriers in trading with our other allies—we shall have real progress toward a stronger economic as well as military defense of_ the. free world against Communism.

It's such a comforting excuse when one can lay all his sins at the doorstep of his education. In this day and time we hear about all this “modern method" of education—don’t ask me what it is; I’ve never been able to find out—‘ and the advocates say that the little cherubs must be bandied with kid gloves and treated justao, or they will develop all kinds <of criminal tendencies, solely be> •cause the education system isn’t exactly what it should be. My I Myl ————If you listen to the tales told on Tessor Mitchell, of some years pack, you can .marvel that some •of our very creditable citizens weren’t quickly bound for a chain The ’Fessor—that was hi* name as well as title—believed in strict adherence to a rigid set of rules. (He had never heard of “let the little darlings express their own personalities” and “they must not be told ‘no’ and ‘don’t’.”) • ’Fessor Mitchell had a Friday afternoon spelling class. Words to learn were assigned on Monday morniqg and nothing more' was heard of them until Friday afternoon; but, no pupil left school on Friday afternoon until every word was mastered: spelling, definition, pronunciation, and use. Some of the boys decided one Friday they .would “sit the professor out,” in other words, they attempted to patch their adolescent wits with a gentleman who fcfcd been dealing with children for many a day. To state it mildly, the youngsters tackled a task far out of their class. Friday afternoon hours began; the boys repeatedly missed words in their spelling.

Another darkening half hour elapsed. “’Feasor Mitchell!” "Yes, young man?” “It’s getting so dark, Sir, I can’t see how to study.” “Very well, we shall remedy that condtion. Howard, go up to Mr. Coleman’s store and tell him to send me two coal-oil lamps. . . And, ^toward, tell him to be sure they are full of oil.” t We learned the words, reports one of those former high school students. And it was well past bedtime before we got home. Yes, sir! The Tessor meant business. Take, as an example, the time a group of youngsters had got into some trouble, and ’Fessor had lined them up, to take their turn at a sound whipping — and the Professor knew how to administer it. — “ Tessor,” chirped one young hopeful, “my father said he didn’t Want me whipped at school.” “Very well, young man, produce a written statement to that effect before it gets to be your turn.” » I've realized of late that my school days havcL deprived me of ever aspiring to a big government job. You see, the year I was in the fourth grade someone put a skunk in the ventilator. It would be impossible to prove to any Senatorial investigating committee that I was innocent.

RAPP-OHATS By: W. H. Lyn« County Agent I had a rare experience last Tuesday morning. Rare because it is all too seldom that we experience meeting and talking with someone who is truly big, yet thoroughly humble; one who is making a great contribution towards hi* feltowman just because he loves it. Combine: brains, humility, will power, ^perservance, love, ambition and godliness into a man with a purpose in life and you’ll get an idea of the sort of person I’m trying to describe. Better yet some of you will soon have an opportunity of meeting this man. He is Ralph BeUwood, Executive Secretary-Director of Patrick Henry Boys’ Plantation, Inc. located near Brookmal, Va. He is brother to Mrs. W. R. Williamson of Woodville. He ft a minister by profession without a charge yet preaches Somewhere twice every Sunday. Patrick Henry Boys’ Plantation, Inc., includes about 900 acres of land (“Red Hill”) developed several years ago in one of the much publicized Soil Conservation twentyyear plans completed-in-a-day. It will be a home for teen-age boys. Red Hill will become the site of a home similar fo Nebraska’s famous Boys’ Town. Ford Times (Feb. 1953) carries a write-up of the plan. It is endorsed by such men as: J. Edgar Hoover, Governor Battle, cx-Govemor Tuck, Judge Hoge Rex, General George C. Marshall. About nine miles of fencing has been erected by veterans class members of the area. Crtops are now growing a water system is being installed, Red English, VPI alumnus and head of the English Construction Company has pledged the donation of a $10,000 housing unit, beef cattiers over the state .are donating heifers to form the foundation herd. Here is wftere Rappahannock farm' ers will have a chance. Rev. Beflw*ood plans to come to Rappahannock for several days in the near future to contact breeders personally.

PAUL MILLER Seles Representative “Tim’s Rom for AH” Proof that electric cooperatives and private utilities can and do live and thrive in the same economy with ample room for public service by both has been emphasised in an address by Francis D. Pitts, of Sparta, in Caroline'County.”.T2E , "f'.r Mr. Pitts, president of the Virginia Electric Cooperative, at Bowling Green, was the feature speaker at a dinner in Washington attended by nearly 200 persons including directors of 18 of the 19 electric cooperatives in Virginia, Maryland and Delaware and members of the delegations in Congress from these th*ee states. Those present from the Northern Piedmont Electric Cooperative were H. it. Shelton and R. N. Early of Stanardsville; Mr. and Mrs. John S. Thornton and Mr. and Mrs. T. A. Jeffries of Culpeper; Mr. and Mrs. Thomas N. Broles of Reva; and Mr. and Mrs. W. O. Smith, Jr., of Locust Dale. The guests of honor were Senators A. Willis Robertson, John J. Williams and J. Allen Frear, Jr., also Congressman Howard W. Smith and Mrs. Smith, Porter Hardy and Mrs. Hardy, DeWtit S. Hyde and Mrs. Hyde, Edwin T. Miller and Mrs. Miller, Herbert Warburton and Mrs. Warbunton, Thomas Stanley, Vaughn Garey, Watkins ’Abbott, Burr Harri??6n, and E. J. Robeson, Jr., and also Calvin Haley, of Judge Smith’s office and Mrs, Haley. . . . ■ v Congressman Howard W. Smith, representative from the Eight Congressional District, in commenting on the address which he had printed in the Congressional Record, characterized the speech as- “Thoughtful anld Instructive.” He told Congress in session last Thursday that “the: successful progress made by the REA cooperatives demonstrates clearly that the REA and private industry can and do live and thrive in the same economy with junple room for public services for both.” Congressman Smith continued; It is particularly illuminating in that it completely dispels the contention thatthe friends of rural electrification seek to supplant and destroy the private udlities and embark upon a socialistic public-power program.” In his address asking that Mr. Pitts' entire speech be inserted in the Congressional Record, and k was printed in full, Congressman Smith added: “It is most encouraging to those of us who have believed in REA‘from the inception of the program that the cooperatives are on a sound financial basis and meeting their payments promptly, and at the same time setting aside ample depreciation allowances.” In Mr. Pitts’ speech, he said: “In appropriating funds for rural electric lines, Congress has said that service and not profit shall be the driving force behind the program. I can assure you that we have not veered one, iota from this cardinal principle. The going has not been easy, but tonight we can say that the accomplishment of our original mission is now in sight. “Over 90 per cent of the rural homes, farms, and business establishments are now using central station electric service, and only one-fifth of one per cent of the loans made to REA cooperatives are delinquent. That record excells that of any lending agency I have ever heard of— either governmental or private. ' As we review the past and take a look ahead, there is one factor which stands out above everything else and which causes us much concern—dependable, low-cost wholesale power. “The Congress has wisely provided that under certain conditions REA funds might be expanded for the construction of generating and transmission facilities. I, along with an overwhelming majority of rural elec FUSSELL-YOUNG ICE CREAM COMPANY trification people, can honestly say that we do not want to spend toward this type of construction one dollar that is not absolutely necessary or expedient, but I say to you tonight that without the bargaining position which this right to generate power to us, we could /iot have made the hope to meet the demands of future growth and development. “Likewise the so-called preference clause in the Flood Control Act of 1944 gives electric coops and municipalities first call on power generated at Government hydrodams. "Gentlemen of Congress, may I respectfully say to you that the elimination of the preference clause from fheFlood Control Act of 1944 will spell out the beginning of the end for the vast farmer-owned and farmercontrolled / private American enterprise, which has done so much for our rural people and for the Nation as a whole. “There is unlimited space in this great land for private competitive enterprise. It will continue to make us great and keep us free. There is also a definite place for private monopoly as long as it fulfills the mission for which it is intended. But we shall never stand idly by and permit selfish interests to deny our people the benefits of the human and ArtificaUj Sired' i Cows High Prodocers1 gg High milk production is being recorded by artificially sired cows in Virginia. - Dr. K. A. Huston, associate dairy husbandman at VPI, says the first production report qn artifidally sired cows, in the state has just been released. It ’shows that 316 cows produced 9,279 pounds of milk and 395 pounds <of 'fat. This is twice the, production of the average dairy cow in Virginia in 1952. Dr. Houston also says that latest reports point to 1952 as a record year for dairy cattle improvement. Over 42,000 cows, better thin 9 percent of all the dairy cows in the state, were artifidally bred to production-proven bulls. It is expected that over 46,000 cows will be bred artificially in 1953 ip Virginia. Good grammar and accent are offensive to nobody. natural resources with which we are so bountifully blessed. “We are for whatever is best for our country and you may rest assured that if America is threatened by any kind of ‘ism’ it wiH not originate with the American farmer.” NOTICE TO TAXPAYERS OF RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY Pursuant to Section 309 of the Tax Code of Virginia, the Commissioner of the Revenue will be at the following named places on the dates specified, to receive returns of tangible and intangible personal property and individual incomes and to transact any other business connected with the duties of the Commissioner of Revenue.

The Past Rappahannock 4-H Clubs 4-H Agricultural clubs were organized in Rappahannock m the spring of 1924, directly after our first county , agent, Sam Preston, came. The dubs organized were : Washington, Amissville, Flint Hill, SperryviHe, Forest Grove, Belle Meade, Woodville and Viewtown. No records are available for other clubs, but officers in fhe Washington dub were: Anna Keyser (Mrs. Kent Wool folk), president; Marjorie Snead, vke president and Mary Ashby Slaughter, secretary-treasurer. Our first demonstration team and die only one that year was on poultry. Anna Keyser and Majorie Snead worked it up. They were the only members to attend Short course at Blacksburg on VPI campus. Ten boys'and girls attended the District Short Course at Randolph Macon Academy in Front Royal. The counties in our district were Rappahannock, Warren, Madison, Culpeper, Shenandoah and Prince William. (These District Short Courses are no longer hdd.) ” In 1925 there were more members, more delegates and a team that had the highest score in the state. Two demonstration teams and a livestock judging team went to Short Course. ■ of Commerce, Kimanis, and Rdtary Clubs, etc. -Mm ■ We congratulate the girls cm their success and are proud to know that Virginia representatives to the National 4-H club Congress1 will be furnished by Rappahannock County. It is hoped that other dub boys and girls will emulate the example of Marjorie and Anna and work hard for the honor which will be awarded next yC'ar to two dub ‘members in Just to show what fun the girls had here's the menu for the big banquet at Chicago, (held December 1, 1925) : seafood combination cocktail, celery, mixed nuts, boiled migron of beef, elamart, potatoes au gratin and peas paysanne, heart of lettuce salad with thousand island dressing, hazelnut parfait, assorted cakes and milk, completd the menu. Besides this banquet, they attended another at the Hotel La Salle and a complimentary dinner at the “Gold Room” Congress Hotel. Maybe there were “competent chaperons” but here’s a boy’s autograph on one banquet program. 4-H members just haven’t changed a bit. At the Congress in 1952, they drank over 1300 cokes a day and the hotel ran out. Getting back to the girls who won the trip in 1925, their schedule included tours o£ the International In 1925, * county'4-H Poultry Team won first prize in a state contest, winning a trip to Chicago. Pictured above are the winning * team members: Miss Marjorie Snead and Miss Anna Keyser. Our poultry team, Misses Anna Keyser and Majorie Snead won first in state and a trip to Chicago. Their demonstration was on * “Natural Brooding of Baby Chicks.” They stayed at Blacksburg an extra week to give their demonstration to the Farmers’ Institute, one of four teams iii the state selected for this honor. A clipping from Rappahannock’s paper, The Blue Ridge Guide, rdad as follows: "Rappahannock 4-H Club Girls Win High Honors.” “The following is an extract from a letter received by the county agent from the Gub Department, Blacksburg, Va., under date of August 20th (26). Anna Keyser and Marjorie Snead of Rappahannock County have been selected to attend National 4-H Gub Congress in Chicago. The subject .of their demonstration "Natural Brooding of -Baby Chicks.” This means that these girls are to represent Virginia in club work at meeting of the National 4-H Gub Congress which is held annually at Chicago and is composed of demonstration teams from each state of he Union.” This is probably the highest honor that can be won by club members since the teams selected for this trip are those that make the highest scores in their respective projects and demonstrations. Tt will be remembered that Anna and Marjorie were among 20 boys and girls from Rappahannock County who attended hte State Short Course in Blacksburg the first week in August; they were one of the four demonstration teams of 52 counties represented at Short Coure that were held over with all expenses paid, to give their demonstration before the Farmers’ Institute during the second week in August. All of the expenses of the Chicago trip will be paid1 by business men of the country who have become interestel in dub work and are giving of their means to encourage the junior farm demonstration woric which is conducted by the 4-H dub boys and girls. The girls from Virginia will join representatives from other states at places to be designated by the Gub Department and will make the trip to Chicago in company with competent chaperones. On arriving in Chicago they will be entertained by such organizations as the Chamber Harvester and Montgomery Ward factories. They were treated to a free movie starring Mary Pickford. Banquets were broadcast oyer “radio phone.” So our girls made demonstrations on “Natural Brooding” and won the state contest. A Httle verse from the Short (Course paper said: We never had a mother • Strange as it may seem We never heard a cluck, cluck, cluck They hatched us out by steam. They say it's scientific, And I suppose it's true But I’d rather have a mother Now really wouldn’t you?” That’s what chickens thought of natural brooding. A clipping from the “Guide” written by Marjorie Snead, headed “Our Trip to Chicago” said this: “When we were told last August that we had won a trip to Chicago, if there was ever a happier moment in our lives we do not now recall it. And we feel sure no two prouder or happier girls ever lived lhan we were when! we boarded the rain for Chicago, November 27. Miss Burke, our chaperone, met us in Charlottesville with pullman tickets. My! we did enjoy traveling in such fine style. Wer did not have to change trains at all. We arrived in Chicago Saturday afternoon at 6 o’clock and took a taxi to La Salle Hotel where we had rooms reserved. We had a good time^ sight-seeing Sunday, although it.was snowing a little and it was even cold enough for the children to be skating. Sunday night we went to church where special services were arranged for dub boys and girls. Monday morning we awoke bright and early and determined to see all the city that was to be seen in one short week. That day we went to the International Livestock Exposition where we saw the champion livestock of the worid. The Prince of Wales had a beautiful herd and took prize on some of them. The Amphitheatre, the place where the show was hekf, was beautifully decorated with flags of different nations. From the show we went to the plant of Wilson and Company. Mir.' Wilson being the chairman of National Committee on Boys’ and Girls* club work. There was a most delightful supper served and after supper, a special entertainmerit was orovidcd by the com rainy con aiming of ventreloquism, magic and a little dancing artbt. Tuesday morning our Battalion was the breakfast guest of Swift and Co. At 9:30 we bad a special educational tour through this great packing plant. This was very interesting for there we saw hogs, cattle, and sheep slaughtered and the different process they -were carHed lhroagtr before being packed for market. After we enjoyed ' a luncheon given by the Chicago Livestock Exchange, the girls were taken through the great Marshal Field and Co. Department Store, one of the largest department stores of the world. We saw a beautiful piece of tapestry here that cost twelve thousand dollars. At 6:30 p.m., the club members had the annual Grand Rally and Banquet in the ball room of the Sherman Hotel After eating to our heart's content, we were highly entertained by William Ferguson, noted cartoonist of Corn Belt Farm Dailies. It was wonderful to see him draw *the funny cartoons in such a short time. An address by Hon. E. T. Meredith, former secretary of agriculture, was educational as welt as entertaining. Wednesday morning we visited the plant of Montgomery Ward and Co., where a mighty good breakfast was served us and they gave us nice souyeniors. After breakfast we were entertained by a funny clown. Then we were taken all* through the establishment, which was very interesting for we saw the many employees and the care that was taken in wrapping and mailing each package. Little wonder that it is such a popular mail order company. We could have stayed in anyone of these big establishments for days and enjoyed it, but we did not have time, so from there the girls went to the plant of the Northwestern Yeast Co. and had an instructive trip through the factory. We .saw what the yeast was made from and the different stages it was in before being made ino a yeast cake. After leaving this interesting place we went to the American Furniture Mart, the home of the furniture industry of America and the largest building in the world. The cost of this building Was ten million dollars and it covers an entire city block. It is sixteen stories high and contains 40 acres of floor space. At 6;30 a banquet was given .to the delegation in he ball room of La Salle Hotel as guests of National Livestock Producers Association. Thursday, we saw Mary Pickford in “Little Annie Rooney.” That night a final banquet was given us in the Gold Room of Congress Hotel by nine .Chicago railroads. One of the days we also went to the zoo where we saw bears and animals of all kinds and birds from every part of the world, ec. Friday, we could go anywhere we wanted so we went to different stores and saw the beautiful Christmas decorations. We must not close without mentioning how generous the state was in furnishing us such a splendid and competent chaperone, Miss Burke. She did everything to make the trip happy for us. We also wish to add that the state was most generous in is apportionment,, even paying for our shoe shines and the bananas we ate on the train. They toM us if they hadn’t put up money enough, to write for more; however it was more than enough so we had some to return. / Last but by no means least, let us remember that all of diis was made possible by our couny agent, Mr. Preston, who Whored so faithfully and perservingly the long summer hours teaching us our demonstration.” Our group to District Shdk Course was larger that year (1925) too. We had 48, the largest number of any of the 6 courfties attending. Courses of instruction were: Stock judging, potihry management and judging, agronomy and home economics. Recreation included swimming, baseball and those wonderful new “movies” A clipping says “Evrybody seemed to have a good time as well as learn a few dungs.” No records were found of what boys were on tye livestock team but they won fourth place in'the contest held at the State Fair in Richmond. Anna Keyser was made *the firtt AH Star from Rappahannock and the first county fair was held? In 1926 Rappahannock team winning second in state in poultry was Annie Laurie Bywaters and Ida Harly. Team first in the state was from Rappahannock and they won a trip to Camp Vail, Mass. This team ; ivzd +-n viuo winners were Miss Jessie Miller ' Jones and Miss Dorothy Atkins. They won a trip to Camp Vail, Mass. was Jessie Miller Jones (Mrs. L JJ. Turner) and Dorothy Adkins. A clipping from he State 4-H News letter tells this: “The party assembled in Washington, September 16th and spent the afternoon sight-seeing in the capitol. C. L. Chanbers accompanied 'them onHhe trips over Washington. The morning of the 17th was spent in Baltimore, where they were entertained at luncheon by Mr. Vaden, president of the Federal Land Bank. The party left Baltimore at 1:45 and reached New York at 4:55 tha)t afternoon. The twenty-four hours spent in the world’s largest city was ’filled with interesting experience for these Virginia club members. The delegation reached Springfield on the evenihg of the 18th when the fun of mingling with club members from other states began. They were welcomed by Eliza Copenhaver and L. M. Walker Jr., who were Virginia’s delegates to the Leadership Conference the previous week. During the week the boys and girls introduced the visitors to the Exposition et the delegates of real Virginia peanuts. From their attractive booth' decorated with peanuts in all stages from those on the vine to the various products ready for market, they soM peanut brittle, salted peanuts arid ham sandwiches made from Vygima’s famous peanut fed hogs. A It was a happy week for those _ boys and girls and they have learned to appreciate their club brothers from other states more than would have been possible without this opportunity, of working and playing together. On September 25 the Virginia delegation returned to Washington, where they separated an<^ those who composed it left for their several homes. The name of Theodore Vail will long be honored by 4-H club members and held in grateful remepbrance for all the opportunities he made possible for them.” Jessie Miller’s story says they enjoyed getting supper at the Automat Caferteria and seeing the tights on Broadway. Our livesock this year (1926) won fourth place at the State Fair. This (team was Ned Jones, Downing Wood and Dutch Updike. The community exhibits of die Washington club won first place at the Rappahannock fair. Superintendents in charge of Departments at the fair were: Poultry, liams;Anna Keyser and Minnie Williams ; Swine, Gilbert Tobin, and Thomas Williams; Cattle, Ned Jones and Burrell Cannon; Sheep, Downing Wood and Virgil Updike; Farm crops, Homer Rowzie and John Tapp; Vegetables, Veva Hackley and Ida Hardy; Flowers, Jessie Miller Jones and Kittie Wood The District Short Course was again held at Randolph Macon and 4-H did) members planned and ran it - And in another county, Mecklenburg, our future county agent, Lewis John Turner made news by building the latest type of chicken house. He and his brother built R themselves and k was used as a model for people who wanted the best. They came to get plans and dimensions from it The State news letter that tol4 of a dipping about if mRappahannock too. It said that each member that carried’ a project must demonstrate and help another boy or girt , ieam better methods. It read “A Demonstration that Demonstrate*” Below is a report of a 1st year poultry club demonstration that demonstrated. The club member wrote the following to the county agent February 2. “My Chickens arel doing fine and I get eight to ten Igp ilJiy and onr day l got twelve from my thirteen pullets. Don’t you think that is going good?” Sincerely, Gladys Newman. P.S. “I got 178 eggs in January.” * Mr. Preston, the county agent, says.' “The enclosed card is from a first year club member in a community (Viewtown) where there was not a single purebred flock until last spring when the club members’ chicks started to hatch. This girt sold a lot of her cockerels Tight in the community for $1.50 each and has had many orders for hatching eggs, which she is selling for $1 a setting. A 4-H dub was organized last year and the devdopment in the community brought on by club work is very interesting. Gladys exhibited some of her poultry at the Rappahannock, Culpeper, and State fairs, and got within the winnings at each place.” By 1928, Gladys Newman made the highest score in the state on poultry judging but getting back to 1926, the clubs of the county held a quarterly meeting at WoodviHe and a rule was adopted whereby anyone who did not turn in records was dropped from the dub and no poultry dub member who sold pullets from the first hatch » could remain in club work. This was done to build up a laying flock which was the object of the poultry clubs. A clipping telling die resuk of club work in Virginia as a whole in 1926 lists 74 counties having 4-H clubs as contrasted with 52 in 1924. Competition was getting stiffer but Rappahannock continued to win. A letter from the President of the United States, Calvin Cooiidfee to the 4-H clubs and the Boy Scouts: “As we go into the New Year, I send you my greetings and best wishes for health and happiness ini the coming twelve months. “In my holiday message a year agjcj I pointed out the many advantages of membership in associations such as yours. If we should try to express their prindples in a single word, that word, it seems to me would be “Helpfulness.” You help ohers and you help yourself by helping others. "I congratulate you on the accomplishments of 1926 and know you will have abundant opportunities for usefulness in 1927. “We get happiness from doing a little more than is necessary, and from doing things as near right as we can. “Our communities and our country are the better because of what you, boys and girls are, what you do, and what you wiH mean to our social and economic lift as the men and women of he future.” —Calvin Cootidge In 1927 Anna Keyser won first place in the state on poultry judging and won a free trip to Madison Square Garden Poultry show. She was unable to attend. Our livestock team won first place in the state and went to Chicago to* •the International Livestock Exhibition. The members of the team were Ned Jones, Thomas Williams and Downing Wood. They won eighth in the national competition of twenty states. JNed Jones tied for fourth place as individual judge, sixty competing. A dipping from the Guide follows: “Wins State Championship.” Rappahannock 4-H Stock Judging Team ' Wins State Championship. Ned Jones, Thomas Williams and Downing Wood carried away the honors this year in the stock judging contest held last week at the State Fair, winning over teams from Rockingham, Augusta, Rockbridge, Montgomery and , Warren countie?. The winners in this contest are given a free trip to the International Livestock Exposition, i Chicago, Illinds, where they will compete with teams from other states, Anna Keyser, Washingon, Va., wort a place on the State Poultry Judging team, which will compete with teams v from other states at the Madison Square Garden Poultry Show, New York City in January.

W Wood and Son in order to get die best I used * great deal of barnyard fertiliser as well as bought fertilizer. After the corn was about six weeks old 1 put three hundred pounds of Chilean Nitratte of soda on it to complete it As a result I got 18 bushels of com from my project which was 8 bushels more than that produced1 on a field which was not treated with the nitrate of soda. 1 have taken the same project this year but have not finished at the present time. While I was taking up the com project, I luMi&SM&iw on the judging team. Last year was my first year at judging and the team as a whole placed sixth in the state at Blacksburg. This year we all worked harder and came out second in the state winch won for us a trip to Richmond with a chance to try for the Chicago trip.

They decided that young people should learn how to live as well as to make a liying, that the pu pil was morf important than any lesson. The primary purpose to teach farm youth to farm and to make a home was important but the boy or girl was more important than the field of wheat or the curtains in the kitchen. At first the leaders and instructors were regular school teachers but as time went on it was realized that teachers who were teaching a room of pupils, often more than one grade, had no time to carry on a really successful program. Therefore it was combined with Agricultural Extension Work, with the State land grant colleges and the Department of Agriculture cooperating. The objects of clul? work were to develop the economic, physical, intelectual, and spiritual life of farm boys and girls. This is done by creating interest among the young people in problems pertaining to farm and community, and enlisting their efforts and co-operation along with that of their parents and neighbors in establishing better agriculture and home economic practices, and in rural betterment generally. This enables the boys and girls to come in con- , tact with the best there is in farm* home and community life:^to ac~ ijdifi « love for rural life; to sea the possibilities of community development: and to develop,_thamg.__. selves into efficient, useful and public spirited citizens. The 4 iH’s stand for Head, Heart, Hands, and Health. The Creed reads “I believe in Boy’s and Girl’s 4-H Club Work for the opportunity it gives me to become a useful citizen. ——“I believe in the training of my Head for the power it will give me to Think, Plan and Reason. “I believe in the training of my Heart for the nobleness it will give me to be Kind, Sympathetic and True. “I believe in the training of my Hands for the ability it will give me to be Helpful, Skillful, and Useful. “I believe in the training of my Health for the strength it will give* me to Enjoy life, Resist disease* and Work efficiently. “I believe- in my country, my State, my community, and in my responsibility for their develop^ meat*-L-7“In all these things I believeand I am willing to dedicate my efforts to their fulfillment.” - * When a member becomees an All Star, which is a grat honor* the fifth H is added to his pin or badge. This stands for Home, the foundation of all living. One of the basic ideas of club work was “every member a demonstrator.” Every boy or girl whosuccessfully Completed a project or learned a r.ew thing should demonstrate it to another boy on girl. This has helped the 4-H Club to grow to bd the largest rural youth organization in the .United States. The emblem, of a clover leaf represents the principles of scientific farming, rotation of crops, soil building and larger production and greater profits on less acres.. It shows a legume, clover needed to replace minerals from worn soil and return it to productivity;. So 4-H work is not only to make a farm youth love the land as a way to make a living but as a way to live, it is not to develop* land but to develop better citigens* not to develop more food or fiber bu more useful men and women. mmm © Select well-drained soil of good fertility, fairly free of weeds and conveniently located. ©Have your soil tested and lime accordingly.

SHORT COURSE - '5tite”'4-h Shpri Course is held tending arrive on Monday from all over the State. The All Stars meet the week end before and stay 10 days. They help members get rooms, -carry luggage and help with registration. An assenfbly is held Monday night after supper, and classes stant •on Tuesday. Some State contests are Tun off at Short Course, so you way see the State winners in your project .give his demonstration. Besides project teaching you got social dancing, square dancing, record books, manners and junior leadership. Everything you learn can be brought back and used in -your dub. - _After lunch am assembly is held and State winners are announced, awards^ given and delegate* to foreigncountries, camps and Club Congress give talks and reports. Young people visiting the U.S. under the International Foreign. Youth Exchange program give talks*on ^their lands and about their stay in the U. S. After assembly . tours are * ronducted of the campus, those who wish may swim or play baseball. One evening the tractor driving conftst is held to pick the State winner. Those who wish to appear on the talent show go for tryouts. One -evening a tea is held so members can meet officers of the Short Course, visitors and the faculty of the college. Everyone wears his 'best and if you think farm boys and girls can’t dress up you just ought to see them ! After supper, which is served as all the meals,, in the college dining hall, vespers are held. 4-H members help * conduct vespers and also assemblies. Vespers are followed by an| hour of folk games on the drill field. After this, night assembly is he4d. All assemblies are opened with group singing and one really gets a 4-H feeling, hearing a thousand boys and girls singing the 4-H hymn, “Give to me the 4-H to guide my ways and lead me onward," or making the rafters ring with “Over hill, over dale we will find the 4-H trail." One night (the program is the Big Talent Shoiw. Winners in the Recreation and Rural Arts "project compete for the prize. Winners are sent out entertain^ at Club Congress. Every sont of act front acrobatic dancing to readings are on this program and Eric Lund, of Lynchburg radio, is master o£ ceremonies. .» ~ -y ; After assembly everyone returns to rooms and lights are (supposedly) w jMttjK!>on._ This year, one night someone told (fie teadcrVtBajTflR summer -t a “pantie raid” and nobody went to sleep ’til the fnoming. (They did not). Officers for the following year’s short course are elected and campaigns are really something. Posters, handbills, cars with placards and speeches. The installation ceremony is the first time you find out who won. The new. officers are installed in office and the old ones retire. On Friday night the All Star ceremonial is held. Members sit in a huge circle by counties and the All Stars, dressed in which, march in and form —a standing circle,—Scouts go out, get new members and present them to the chief. It is very formal and impressive and is a great honor to be made an All Star. Records must be good and candidates are watched while at Short Course to see they are worthy of this honor. I’m sure anyone who ever waitched this ceremony would want to become an All Star. New AH Stars are initiated .and meet the old ATI Stars later. Everyone else attends a huge party and what fun! Folk games, square dancing, social dancing and wonder^ ful refreshments. Then rush back to your room, do your last minute packing. On Saturday morning, leave for home after promising to come back next year to Short Course at VPI. —Lelia Gentry 4-H Camp 4-H Camp this past year was held at Powell’s Fort Valley on August 1®, 1952. Rappahannock was the only county going, as Loudoun county was quarantined with polio. Everyone had a wonderful time. We divided into two different tribes and gave them Indian names. Each tribe had a totem pole on which they cut a notch for each point scored. We had swimming, dancing, softball, nature study, handicraft, and doz* ens of other things to do. We swam in a nice pool and had a swimming instructor and life guard. • ; We hope to have more members from Rappahannock this year. If you’re a 4-H’er why don’t you go this August?

By Rachel Deal and Rachel Jenkins There are ten members in the 4-H club at Belle Meade School this year. The girls are taking his year as their project, “Make and Remake.” In this project the three girls Me making a dress. “ The boys have as their project: 3 have pigs, 2 have rabbits, 1 has a sheep and one has a calf. Last summer the girls had as their Project cooking. They learned to set the table, make, bake, and serve some vegetables, prepare and serve a salad, help prepare and serve club refreshments. When our project was finished, our agent took us on a swimming party. Last year we entered a feed bag contest and we also helped the county council by giving food.sj'wo of our members went to camp fleet year. The boys gave a demonstration on how to sharpen a knife and drench a sheep. At least two members have attended county council meetings for the last two years. ' *, To make money for our club this year -we sold 18 boxes of cards and made $7.75. The weeir of March 7 is National 4-H Club Week and our club is planning to have an exhibit 4-H Sapper By Frances Walker The Rappahannock County 4-H tdub Council held a supper at the fire hall in Washington in the spring of 1952 for the benefit of the council. This money we used to send delegates to 4-H Shortcourse and to camp, purchase 4-H club banner and other needs. Our parents were-good enough to donate and help us get our things together. The girls did most of the cooking. Miss Fuss thought of a real cute center piece and place cards which were fun to make and also very suitable for the occasion. We had turkey with all the trimmings which we hope everyone enjoyed. We‘plan to have another dinner on March 13. The menu as last year will consist of roast turkey with dressing an$i gravy,, candied sweet potatoes, green peas, cole slaw, cranberry sauce, celery and carrot sticks, hot rolls, butter, apple pie and coffee Tickets will be $1.50 for adults and $1 for children. We hope you will all come and enjoy it Reager Plans For Rational 4-H Week For National 4-H plub Weak March 7-16 we are going to make a poster and put it in the post office window. The poster will show the projects which we are taking; they are “Food for Pep/* electricity, and safety. We have learned the 4-H Pastoral, and 4-H Held song, which we will use in a special program on Friday. AH members of the club will take part We are going to have an exhibit at thi Projects and Prizes As you look over the club roll —for 1934 notice that there were _OPly around six or eight different projects, corn, small fruit, pig, poultry, etc. One reason for this was that there waa no home agent in the county at that time and girls were carrying much the same projects as the boys. Compare those projects to the number and variety offered now. Club members can win awards on everything from entertaining and recreation to entomology or insect collecting, fr.om citizenship to public speaking. Most of these projects were not offered in the first years of club work. Field crops, canning, poultry, meat animal and similar projects are still the backbone of most club work but boys can now take tractor maintenance, soil and water conservation or forestry, to name a few. Girls can take frozen foods, home improvement, dairy foods, or anyone of a number of clothing and dress revue projects. Both boys and girls compete in safety, recreation, leadership, gardon, health improvement, electric, beautification of home grounds and achievement contests. Records also can win prizes. Some Other contests include community relations, knitting, better grooming, ironing, laundry, crocheting, and dairy achievement. — Tift meat animal projects include calf and pig, market lambs and rabbits. All of these are carried in this county. Field crops include corn, wheat and other small grain. Our boys are carrying corn projects and some have raised a hundred bushels per acre and belong to the corn club. Boys are also carrying poultry, dairy, and the rural electrification projects. If possible, this Spring the tractor maintenance project will be offered. Girls in the county are carrying »«wing projects, some the simpler ones like “So You’l Like to Sew” and older members more difficult ones like “Clothing Construction.” Girls carry food preparation, food for pep, and dairy foods, breads, housekeeping, canning, and laundry. Homs improve? ment is being carried on in a county-wide group which meets every two weeks. 'Girls are also giving lots of support to the rural electrification project end some have worked on home grounds beautification. You can see we have a much more varied list of projects and could carry many more. Lots of counties in the State are featuring the entomology project to help control insects like Japanese beetles. In this project members study insect control, make collections of insects and use poisons on harmful insects. In conservation, members plant trees on cut-over land, build gully dams and work for wild life conservation. Some help to re-stock areas with pheasants by brooding the eggs under hens and letting < chicks loose in under-stocked areas. These are just examples of the projects that are being started in lots of counties. You can see that they would be fun and would also be very instructive. Perhaps in a year or so we will have some of them also. The latest new program is one of awards given to former members, certificates to two jn a county. After finding such wonderful records of members we are eligible to award these certificates to some of these outstanding men and women. This is an awards program, not a 4-H project. Awards are given in every project, for county, usually medals, area, district and State. District winners in some contests get gold watches and other awards. State winners get watches, staturees, U.S. Savings Bonds, trips to Club Congress, and certificates of Honor. <$>, National winners' are awarded scholarships to college. The winner choaes his college, but donors would rather money went toward an agricultural or home economic course. So members today can do more things and win more prizes than fill? on aw CALF SHUW On April 26 of last year, a Cali Show was heW at Dolmont Farm. cialist of V. P. I. Extension Service, judged the show and Sam Spangler of the Virginia Angus Association presented the ribbons. This show included both 4-H and P.P.A. boys and girls.

The leader attends the club meetings and learns the project requirements, helps the members prepare demonstrations and actually helps master new skills in carrying out the projects. Many leaders work with their members between the regular monthly meetings, giving cooking and sewing instruction, helping . members fill out work sheets and preparing progams. Leaders are especially helpful in the summer months when most project work is done in tile homes, such as canning and freesing foods, and some home improvement projects. Parents can be helpful in encouraging youth, and that is one of the greatest needs in club work now. Some members are trying to carry on their work without their parents co-operation, which is hard to do. Most of the projects require little expense and are planned to make home and farm work more efficient, quicker and more fun. The parents can profit by this quite as much as the club ’member. When the parent has done all he can the leader can help'those who need more help. It is the greatest desire of the leader to help the 4-H’ers and their families accomplish the most good and create the greatest happiness possible. There is need for more leaders to work in this county, especially men leaders. It keeps one young , to work with youth and yields many satisfying experiences. The summer leaders for Reager . Club are Mrs, Herman Williams, Mrs. Stanley Williams, Mrs. Bradley Williams, Miss Mattie Robinson and Mrs. Barbara Gentry. Former leaders are Mrs. Louis Harrison, Miss Pauline Rutherford and Mrs. Pearl Mills. —Mrs. Barbara Gentry SPORTS OF 1952 { Wc played (two games of basketball with Boyce. Both of these games were in favor of them but the one we played here was a very close game. They only beat us by a couple of points. The girls playing on the teams were Irene Jenkins, Pauline Jenkins, Frances Walker, Faye Black, Mabel Hawkins, Eleanor Leake and Betty Rutherford. I was really proud of my team even though! we .were losers in Both games. They played wonderful. We also played two games of sofit ball with the Culpeper 4-H girls. This game was in *J une, and boy, was it hot! We were los««» in both of these g&me% too, but of course it was all because of the weather. After this •ball game we were invited to a picnic with the Culpeper girls. We all had a wonderful (time and dub*

Miss Elizabeth Farrar, Culpeper Home Agent, made comments on the demonstrations and awarded ribbons. We then adjourned with a song led by Betty Lou Rutherford. SPORTS OF 1953 On February 29 the 4-H girls of Washington Sr., Club played Boyce 4-H girls in a basketball game. The score aft the end of this game was 4E to 21 in favor a Boyce. This was just too much. My team said right then and there "They Won’t beat us next time.” The girls on this team were Jane NidcJas, Esther Pullen, Martha Smoot, Mary Jane Atkins, Betty Johnson and Betty Rutherford. Lelia Gentry was our faithful substitute. Then came the %ig game on February 19. This game was played at SperryviHe and the score was 15 to 15. We played the Boyce can well see. Even though we didn't either, k shows we really had to work. The girls playing on (this team. were Faye Black, Jane Nicldas, Betty' Johnson, Martha Smoot, Mary Jane Atkins, and Botty Rutherford.

The Fntnre ' The future of the 4-H chib in this comity, as a winning, meaningful organization, depends a good deal ort leaders. The best are past members who are now aduhs. ™_Jdfew.j^Quldtkc..?]u and 30’s win so many prizes, when present dubs have never won any higher prize than an area contest? How did they win so many state prizes? Well, there was a little less 'competition but the main thing was that there was much better adult leadership. The county agent had anore time to work with each member; but each* community had one or two adult leaders, sometimes former members of 4-H clubs themselves. Each dub had a leader who really worked with R and leaders went on trips, provided transportation and helped plan programs. Leaders held meetings' when the agent didn’t have time and ■often leaders provided the meeting place. Now, leaders, especially fpr boys, are hard to find. Maybe • nobody ever asked you to be a leader, mayho you didn’t know they were needed. Well, they are needed and if mbody has asked you before, we are asking you now. The county agent and the assistant agent just don’t have timsl to visit each boy’s project or help each member separately. The ciub meetings held once a month include business meetings, reports on activi- _ "lies, reports bit county council and finally, projet discussion. W'hea some toys are taking one project, some another and some have more experience than -others in the project, it’s pretty hard to help any one person much. They could help boys on one project while the agent worked on t another. They could help boys fill out record books and discuss projects with them. Or maybe the excuse is I dont know enough to teach anybody correctly.” Any farmer who has been running a farm for say 20 years, belongs to the corn dub and the artificai breeders association and the Angus Breeders can certainly help the boy who’s taking a Field crop or meat animal project If ypu can't help a whole club, help a single member. Just go over once every week or so and see how he’s, doing. TeU him that he’s got a nice field of corn or a good looking sheep. SRow him how to groom his cart • for a show. You can feel mighty proud when a boy you help wins a oontest or ribbon. Show him about keeping records and feed costs and how ti figure if the animal is getting his correct ration of minerals, etc. There is no better way to learn how to do a thing yourself than to show others how (to do it If you ever took stock or corn judging in 4-H, F.F.A. or in college, why not tell the agent that you’ll brush up on it and help out some dub boys ? The agent doesn’t alwas have as much time as you think, and certainly one or two meetings wouldn’t take much &f yours, but it might mean a state winner in a few years. If you have raised dairy cattle or beef cattle for years, why can’t you help train a judging team? There has not been a judging team trained in this county since 1934 or 1935; when before that time our teams won state contests. Maybe you’ll have to study the latest and best methods a little so as to be sure you are right but there’s where it will help you too. If you know the latest rules of judging then you can better prepare your own animals to win prizes. Find out what boys in your community are in the dub from the agent and help that group of boys ibe the best in the county or someday in the state Girls' clubs work o» a project called ‘So You’d Like To Sew.” First year members learn how ttr hem fringe draw a, thread etc. But second year girls who could be making a dress, have to take the project over because the agent hasn’t time to conduct two projects. After about the second year, they drop out because they’ve done it all before If there was just a leader there to take the older* girls and go a little farther, to teach • few points like fitting, altering and finishing touches. Or an adult who would have the members to her home lor an extra session of making something really good, a finished product to he proud of. Hold a few food preparation meetings at your hone hi the summer time, tYou didn’t know Officers of Amissville 4-H are, left to right, Barbara Sisk, game leader; Betty Scott, secretary; Ashby Green, treasurer; Donald Settle, president. Officers not, pictured are Theodore Riley, . ▼ice president; Elizabeth Latham, song leader; and Carol Row that some members had never in their lives baked a sake, did you? Maybe there’s only one dr two in a club but just watch her face when it comes out of the oven. If you have a freezer or do any canning you could help with a group taking a project along .this line-. Expect a few accidents, but now can a gtri Know now to noia a can if no one ever showed her? This doesn't just go for those who can be leaders Parents are important too. Let our girl try to do it. If everybody said “You can’t because you never have before, how could we learn at all? Does this mean that all members keep on taking the same project over and over? No, it doesn’t While there are not enough leaders for some' clubs, the ones we have are doing a grand job and clubs are progressing. But with more leaders, we could get right to the top. Prizes and Honors aren’t the most imporant thing, the fact that a girl you helped is the best housekeeper in town can mean a lot and who can telrwhat new methods you might learn yourself? The future also depends on the club meiribers themselves. Why do they drop club work when they get in high school? One reason is that old thing of taking the same project over and over and another is they join Home Ec or Agriculture classes and learn so much that 4-H work seems, dull. It’s just that they don’t realize how much fun the work could be if they were on some of those teams we talked about training or if they had cooked up some wonderful dishes at club meetings. With out more leaders, I’m afraid the dub will keep going in its old circle of training all the boys and girls who have just turned ten and having most of them drop out in three or four wears. Parents have given support to the County banquet and the Rural Electrification project. They are becoming more interested and are helping dub members more. Business men gave prizes for the fairs and have helped support 4-H work. Projects are getting better and more* interesting but there is still too much repeating of old projects when there should be progress to new. If a giri makes a cotton dress every ear for three years or a boy buys a calf, raises it and sells it instead of budding a herd, where is the progress or profit? The club motto is "Make the Best Better" not "Leam one thing and do it ^forever." What does the future depend on? First the member then the parent and then the leader, not necessarily in that order. We need more members who are willing to, work, more parents to help, approve and take interest and leaders who would rather raise a boy who knows and loves good stock than to raise the stock, to raise a girl who can make wonderful cake than bake it. It’s one way of having your cake and eating it too to hear a successful member say "My leader helped me win.” And we could have winners if members stayed in and built a record. Most of the county winners for 19461950 are still in high school. They dropped club work because it wasn't interesting. Perhaps so much changing of home agents helped some. But if ready effective and worthwhile projects ar supported by parents and taught by leaders, there’s no telling whet m could do in the future. Some boys and girls seem to think however, that after one year in a sewing project, they know alt about County Plans For 1953 In 1953 the clubs in the county plan to have two county wide projects, Rural Electrificaltion and Tractor Maintenance. The Elecrric project is conducted by representatives of our neighboring power companies who give the instruction in wiring, reading meters and changing fuses. Each member learns how to wire a lamp and btlild a brooder. In the tractor project boys, learn how to keep the tractor in good running condition at all times. It is not to teach how to repair the machine byt how to keep it in better order so that R does not need so many repairs. The classes in this project are taught by a representative of a tractor company or dealer. One of the most exciting contests at Short Course is the Tractor Driving Contest. Boys who have won District prize in this project drive a tractor through a course that in minutes. While records count 75% on this contest tl^ey realty handle their wheel like that was the whole contest. If this cahnot be started this year, it will begin next soring. The annua) County Council banquet is being held March 13 at the fire house. This is the second banquet and tiie one held last year was a Mg success. A plate of turkey and all the “fixings” was served by 4-H dub girls. Food is donated by parents and Home Demonstration Club Women. The County Council helped to pay the way of the delegates to State Short: Course last year. We hope to have more attending this year. If we bad judging earns, we could send them in addition to our quota. All Stars are also not counted in the quota of two boys and two girls as delegates. Each club in the county will try to make an exhibit or observe in some way, National 4-H Club Week which is from March 7-14. Last year some dubs made window displays, some made scrap books of projects they were taking. Ibis special issue of the Rappahannock News was to help weeks to learn the elementary facts sewing or after raising one field of com they know all the tricks. It just doesn’t work that way. Contests are all judged on past records in a project and if some of our members who (think they have learned all there is to know about a project in a year could see some of the state prize winning record hooks they might wake up a little. Most of th^ state winners have carried the project anywhere from 4-10 years and are still improving on it. They could tell you that the first year's result or the second year's result were pretty small compared to their project now. * Some of our club members want the agent to do it all, show them how and do the work or let Mom and Dad take over when the going gets harder. Somebody else can serve on die committee, do a job for the dub, but they will just attend the meeting and miss a class. They are one reason that percentage of project kjojow. They are members, okay, bit than all you can say, But there are some members who work, lead, do the job and also carry a few «*ra projects.

Some clubs Observe Rural life Sunday which falls on the tenth of May this year. Some dubs had special church services last year and will have .them this year. The County Coundl is making plans for a 4-H fair this fall. The County fairs which were held in 194951 had lots of 4-H exhibits, lots of homemakers* exhibits, but with judges from Blacksburg the farm exhibits just werenlt anything. There were not as many as ten plates of apples from the whole county, when they are one of the main crops. That is just an example but the fair will he strictly 4-H unless there is more real support and interest than before. The dub will have a show of some kind/ for livestock projects much like that at Dolmorrt Farm last summer. This may be combined with the fair. County Contest for girls wiH he held in the fall.
