K i’; ■ 1 I \ ^B ^B ^B |H ^B ^B Vr__M ^B $3.15 Tax Passes Unanimously; • Uobody Looked Hamnr The supervisors, in the special meeting Monday, April 6, passed the increased tax rate of $3.15 per $10(7 for Rappahannock county. It was an unhappy and dejected looking crowd. A. C. Latham and A. H. Buckner, supervisors from Amissvflle and the F. T. Valley, made one , last try at finding somewhere to whittle down expenses and save from . having to raise the tax rates. Mr. Ldlham asked Q. D. Gasque what would happen if the school term were cut to eight months, instead of the present nine. The superintendent’s reply was that state funds were .granted on the basis of accredited schools and that it took 180 days of school annually to get the state help. When it was pointed out that the state gives almost 50 per cent of the ; funds, then failure to comply with regulations was prohibitive. Mr. Buckner asked if the visiting teacher could be eliminated and have the sheriff serve as truant officer. The explanation then came that, again due to sthte appropriations, the county only paid about $300 annually toward the salary of the visiting teacher and the sheriff would not take on her many duties for that sum. Chairman W. C. Campbell called for a motion for the adoption of the proposed budget, and the silence was heavy and prolonged. Finally, with a preface that “there’s nothing else to do,” A. H. Buckner made the motion of acceptance of the budget and H. B. Wood voioed a reluctantly growled second. The motion passed unanimously. Charles Wood Keyser complained of the constant rise in taxes and voiced the fear that there was no end in sight for the ever-present increases. J.P. Cook, of Flint Hill, was absent due to sickness. There was a relatively small attendance, considering that increase of taxes was the potent subject at hand. Tins lack of a crowd was interpreted to mean that the people realised nothing could be done and that the increase in taxes was inevitable. democrats set ao Days For Candidate Filing The Democratic committees for both Senatorial and Legislative offices of state legislature have announced that candidates shall file notice with the chairman of each committee ninety days prior to the primary, July 14. ' In regular 3-day month counting, that means the forthcoming Senator and Representative shall file their declaration of candidacy by next Tuesday, April 14. With, May having 31 days, the final date may be counted as Wednesday, April lb. It is understood ths* Tom Frost will be unopposed as Delegate for the new district of Rappahannock and Fauquier. Mr. Frost’s record of service for his own county, plus his general popularity m Rappahannock, assures that he will be the delegate. There has been speculation on who will be the Senator from the 24th district. Raymond Guest’s resignation came as a surprise to many of the people and at first there were three names suggested in general talk about the county as to who would be the next Senator. No statements have been made by any of the three names that werq first discussed. W. C. Armstrong, Jr., and James W. Fletcher, two named as likely candidates, are both popular in Rappa■ hannock, and public sentiment , says that either one would carry a solid vote In the county. Fred SeritymV'Of Harrisonburg, also a very popular figure with Demo-’ 1 crate, has been named as a possible candidate.

AUXILIARY MEETING * The regular monthly meeting of the Ladies Auxiliary of the Rappahannock Fire Company will be held Tuesday, April 14, at 7 :30 p.m. Frost Files As Delegate For Legislate Delegate Tom Frost, completing his first term in the Virginia General Assembly, filed Wednesday, April 1, as a candidate for a second term. Mr. Frost /now • represents Fauquier County in the legislature, but because of redistricting during his term filed this year to. represent the new district of Fauquier and Rappahannock counties. Rappahannock has been represented in the legislature by Delegate D. French Slaughter of Culpeper, which county has been redistricted with CulOrange and Madison. Mr. Slaughter has announced he will not seek reelection, leaving the field open for Delegate Norman Bailey of Orange. The primary election to select the Democratic candidate for the office is scheduled July 14. Mr. Frost, so far, is the only candidate.. Miss Nancy Yowell Named To Plu Beta Kappa Miss Nancy C. Yowell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Yowell, has been named as one of 14^ students of the College of William and Mary as a member of 'Phi Bata Kappa honor scholastic fraternity. The memberselect will be initiated May 3. Miss Yowell, a senoir student, graduated from Sperryville High School, 1949. She is remembered by her teachers as an excellent student and pleasant personality. As far as can be located, Miss Yowell is the second Phi Beta Kappa key to come from the former Sperryville High School. Dr. Alfred Armstrong, now a professor at William and Mary, is also a member of Phi , Beta Kappa and a graduate of Sperryville. In a search for Phi Beta Kappa keys in Rappahannock, it was found that these two are die only rlalm^ the county can make. An Eastham kin from the Flint Hill neighborhood is a member, but the county cannot claim him until he comes here to live (which he plans to do, so a kinsman says). One item of interest turned up in the search for scholostic honors among county citizens. Rappahannock has two Jack son-Hope medaldTa fact unusual for a county as small as it is. These two are C. E. Johnson, Jr., of Sperryville, and John Rust of Rint Hill. County’s First Lady Juror Senes As Forman Mr. Galley W. Smith, Jr., has served as the first woman juror in, Rappahannock county, serving as foreman on the case. Mrs. Smith, following the regular form sent out to women in the county about a year ago, had agreed to serve if called. Sheriff J. W. Crilzer sent the notice several weeks ago, and when Mrs. Smith arrived at the Courthouse, she found herself as number 13 with 12 men chosen on the list of possible jurors. James W. Fletcher and Alfred M. Hickman, lawyers on the case at hand, failed to strike the woman juror, so she was named to serve. The jury of six included Henry Wood Virgil (Dutch) Updike, George Miller, Moffett Goud, and Mrs. Smith. The men named her as fore* man. The case involved payment for' a horse that had been boarded out on property and had died. The defendant was declared not guilty of negligence. * ,, M. Mrs. Smith stated that she was most surprised when she found out that she was to be paid for her time. "I thought a citizen was supposed to do his duty in jury service,” was the lady’s reaction, “I never thought about being paid for it. I enjoyed the atudying and thinking connected with jury duty, *nd I’m glad I was asked” RAPP-OHATS By: W. H. Lyne County Agtnt BUMMttNHMMnHMMMIHMMIUMHMMMNMMMframMHMi* Rappahannock Breeders Association reports four cows being bred last week by inseminator, Gordon Thornhill. The cows belonged to Herbert Foster, Windsor Lodge Farm; Ellis Bennett, and Col. W. R. Williamson. "Mrs. D. B. Smith made application for membership subscribing six cows. Also Cletus Printz paid mmbership dues. To date the association has 93 members subscribing 610 cows. o o o The following letter was received from the State Veterinarian, Dr. \ft. L. Bendix and is ‘offered fro the consideration of any Rappahannock swine producers that might be feeding bargabe. Final Warning To Garbage Feeders: ~ .Virginia cannot endanger its $50,000,000-a year swine industry because a few garbage feeders will not cooperate. After all that has been said about vesicular exanthema, there are still feeders who are not cooking their garbage. Three of them in the last three months have lost their herds because they became infected. The same thing can happen to any feeder who persists in feeding garbage raw. The Federal Government says it will quarantine any state which does not treat every hog fed raw garbage as a hog exposed to vesicular This department cannot allow the whole state of Virginia' to be quarantined, and is prepared to take whatever measures are necesary to prevent such a quarantine. Cooking garbage is not expensive. All you need to do is boil it 30 min. The Division of Animal Industry, State Office Buliding, Richmond, can tell you how to do it Remember, there is not much time. This department must take action in the next few weeks. Any feeder who is not cooking garbage at that time will have to take the consequences. W. L. Bendix * State Veterinarian ^-:-i Another Rabid Fox Killed in County A report has returned from the Lurmy Laboratory stating that a gray fox, carried to the lab Monday by Game Warden C. Ennis Brown, showed positive signs of rabies. * The gray fox had bit four dogs owned by James Campbell at Woodville. The report was sent to the health department Tuesday. “Bee” Miller & BA Weddle Named Co-Managers Ball Team - D. Lyle Miller, Jr. (“Bee"), and B. H. Weddle have accepted the invitation to be co-managers of the county fireman’s baseball team, sponsored by the fire companies of Amissville, Sperryville, and Washington. At the last meeting <of the firemen and those interested, in the baseball team, it was decided that uniforms would be purchased for the players. Charlie Jenkins was appointed to order the uniforms. First practice will foe Sunday. April 12, at 2 o’clock on the Rappahannock High School diamond. Because of Easter it was postponed from last Sunday, as first decided. Co-Managers Miller and Weddle have reqtfested all who wish to go out for the team to be present, or let their wishes be known this Sunday in order that plans may be made and uniforms ordered. 3 Men Meet Death In Plane Crash ; A Piper Cub plane carried thrCe men to their deaths Saturday, April 4, when it crashed in a field on the Clark farm, about a mile out of Washington on the Fodderstack road. Papers in and around the wreckage identified the three men as Dean Hawley, Jr., believed to be the pilot, of Bye, N.Y.; Kenneth Shaften and Joel H. Hill, both of New York City. All knowledge of the riders of the plane had to be obtained from papers, since all three men were killed instantly. The bodies of two were still in the plane when people first arrived on the scene; the body of the third had been thrown from the plane and was several hundred feet from the wreckage. * Credentials give evidence that the three men had rented the plane; they were obviously accustomed to traveling for there were credit cards for hotels all over the countryy. Other papers indicated that their business was photography and they may have done some work for the government. The three men were in the heavyweight class; and although the combined weights of the three passengers was almost equal to that of the plane, some experts said the plane was not overloaded, for it was a four-passenger cub, It will be. almost impossible, state many opinions, to ever find out exactly what happened to cause the crash. Eye witnesses give many and various accounts: some say the plane was flying high and the motor cut off; another witness says positively the motor wis running when he saw' the crash; children playing near the scene state they thought the plane would crash into the barn and that smoke was streaming behind it; some witnesses say the plane circled twice before it came down; some say the plane plummeted straight into the earth. The most generally accepted opinion is that first the plane started down, possibly with some engine fau^t, but that the pilot was making a definite attempt to to get but of the small valley and, perhaps, could not get the Cub to pick up altitude as fast as was needed. A city newspaper stated the plane “stalled at the top of a loop,” and “crashed in a field near Warrenton.” It is generally supposed that two stories became confused, since the crash was on the old road between Washington and Flint Hill. The “stalled at the top of a loop” gave the impression that the plane was stunting. Sheriff Critrer, who accompanied the Civil Aeronautics inspectors on their tour and heard the accounts of many eye-witnesses, can recall no witness saying anything about any looping the plane was doing. The three victims were young men: Dean Hawley, Jr., 33; Kenneth Shaften, 32, and Joel Hill, 23. Shaften was a Lieutenant^Commander in the Navy, World War 11, and his funeral was held in Arlington National Cemetery Tuesday. The bodies of Hawley and Hill were taken to a crematory in Washington, D. C., Tuesday, and the ashes will be sent to their families in New York. Hawley and Hill were first cousins; their mothers were sisters. R.CJLS.

RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At Washington, Rappahannock County Virginia DIAL WASHINGTON 2851 LUCY CATHERINE BOWIE --1-. Publisher Entered as second-class mail matter at the post office at Washington, Virginia SUBSCRIPTION: (in advance) $2.00 a year Adult Education May Be the Answer Concern and dissatisfact’on with their childrens’ schooling seems to point that perhaps parents need to learn more about present day schools in order to understand what is being done. Parents do not recognize the modern school as a learning organ when they recall their own schooling. A father, the other day, was concerned because he said that his boy could not read, couldn’t write, and couldn't spell. “I don’t like it,” said the father. “How can the boy expect to get along in the world when he has no idea of the use of his own language?” This same opinion was expressed by another father in an answer he gave his son. The boy inquired of his father: “The teacher says that next year I will Jbe in high school and 1 am supposed to say what subjects I’m going to take. Must I take French, Spanish, or Latin?” asked the boy. The father’s reply was pointed: "I’d be happy if you learned something of your own language; it seems to me you need a thorough study of English before you try learning another man’s language.” Examples are known (this story came from a community in Rappahannock) where a high school graduate was not able to read well enough to follow instructions on the cans of orchard spray. Of course, this is a rare example, but it is too obviously a show of poor learning to miss observation. Thfe parents are not happy about the schools. They are ambitious for their children. They are not satisfied that schools be "just as good as they were;” a parent wants to know his child gets better schooling than he got, that marks progress. Somewhere is the answer. Complete co-operation is needed between the school and the parent in order to improve the school When the parent can begin to understand the learning processes of the modern school, then perhaps they can be happier about the child’s education. MISSIONARY MEETING The Julia Hagood Graham Missionary Society met on Saturday night with Mrs, Lewis Moore and Mrs. Walter Krause as hostesses. Nine members were present. Mrs. Williams was in charge of the program with “Mexico” as the subject.

C. As Viewed By Yonr Senator, A. Willis Robertson NATIONAL SAFETY NEEDS SHOULD HAVE PRIORITY Participation in a nation-wide television broadcast last week gave me an opportunity to point out the difficult choice now facing us of deciding how best to protect ourselves from atomic bomb attacks. All military experts are agreed that the Russians have such bombs and and Air Force capable of dropping them in the United States . There is agreement too that we have no adequate defense now against such an attack. The civil defense advocates are urging construction of bomb shelters to minimize the danger "of attack while military leaders urge that emphasis be placed on radar screens, interceptor planes and anti-aircraft gurts, including the new NIKE j<ftpropelled rocket which can reach any plane that Hies, is faster than any plane that flies and can follow the plane any way it may twist or dodge. A demonstration of its remarkable destructive power will be conducted this month in New Mexico. Either course will involve tremendous expeditures but either, in my opinion, would be better than the cheaper choice of assuming that the Russians never will start World War III and that we can, therefore, afford to cut defense appropriations to balance the national budget this year.

It is my earnest hope, however, that the Congress will not yield to that temptation before we know the real intent of the new Stalin and of Lenin, both of whom repeatedly said Communism and Capitalism could not liy.e at peace in tfie same world. The peace gestures made by Malenkov in recent weeks have been words only. He has the power to stop fighting in Korea whenever he sees fit, 1>ut by bitter experience from the Yalta Conference through the Pamunjum truce talks we know that the Communists have np regard for their pledged word. If Malenkov decides to end the Korean war and to ease the Cold War in Europe, it will be more logical to assume that he is using that device to end the rearmament program of the free world and cause a division over the resulting economic strains and stresses .that would be a fertile field for Communistic propaganda than to assume that the Politburo has abandoned the Lenin-Stalin conception of world domination. If we fail to get peace in Korea on honorable terms in the near future, I hope our President, his Cabinet and the Congress will agree that we cannot afford to gamble with the destiny of this nation by giving up the restraining influence of potent armed forces in return for what is euphoniously called “butter instead of guns.” Former Speaker Rayburn of the House has assured President Eisenhower that he will support any defense program which the President deems necessary for our safety. And so will I. Last week was the anniversary of the supreme sacrifice made for mankind by the Prince of Peace. Nearly two thousand years ago He gave the world a plan for peace but the worldwide lack of faith in that plan was reflected in the synical remark of Stalin to Roosevelt at Yalta when Roosevelt refered to the Pope’s influence among his Catholic followers. "How many divisions does the Pope have?” asked Stalin. Stalin had respect for physical force and so doe* WASHINGTON THEATRE Slwwit 7:15 and 9:00 P.M.

WALRUS— (Continued from page 2) and not clutter up some school-child’s future English Literature dases. o o o A professor at Oxford has been making a study on one of his former assocates, Prof. Charles L. Dodgson, known to us as Lewis Carroll, who gave us “Alice in Wonderland” and “Alice Through the Looking Glass.” (The latter has always been my favorite, but I'll not argue its merit over the former.) Prof. Dodgson, states the presentday student of the gentleman, in a Lewis Carroll frame of mind once described the branches of arithmetic as “ambition, distraction, uglification, and derision,” but he took a painstaking interest in accounts of the common room. ^ Prbt Dodgsdn was concerned, about the temperature of wines served there too. He sought the advice of three .wine merchants who disagreed. So he averaged the figures the wine men gave him, hoping thereby to approximate ultimate wisdom in the matter of cooling wine. There remained the problem of measuring the temperatures accurately. To accomplish that to his precise satisfaction, he ordered three thermometers from three competing manufacturers, checking one against the other. He calculated the volume of glasses. Then on a cardboard gauge set beside a glass, he marked the height to which glasses should be filled with variously priced drinks. The Mad Hatter couldn’t have been nore precise. ... FRIDAY, APRIL 17 AT v- — WASHINGTON, VA. SCHOOL AUDITORIUM Daiicing From 9 ’til Benefit of R.C.HJS. GROUNDS FUND MUSIC BY. VANCE BUTLER and HU Playboys FRANK HUFF, Figure Caller $1.50 Stag or Drag There’s an old saying that a thing is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. Well, if you could tour the wholesale and retail used car auctions around the country, if you could survey hundreds of used car lots you would discover that used Fords bring higher prices than any competitive make—and by substantial amounts. THAT’S WHY we feel our ’53 cars should not be compared with cars in the same price range. Not because our competitors don’t do a good job—-obviously they do—but because we feel Ford Cars have more in common with the highest priced automobiles. The similarities are far greater than the differences! For example. Today, the most expensive cars in this country have V-type, 8-cylinder engines. Ford Cars have had this exact same type of engine for over 20 years. What’s more astounding, the current Strato-Star . V-8 sells for hundreds of dollars less than several other makers charge for a six-cylinder car. Now there’s nothing wrong with a Six but they do cost less to make. Ford makes *a Six—the most modern overhead valve Six in, the industry. And if it's a six-cylinder car you want, Ford has it and for less money than the V-8, which is as it should be. What about rule? Here’s another Ford similarity with high-priced cars . . . Riding Comfort. One of the misconceptions for many years has been that weight—sheer weight—is what it takes to make a car ride well. Ford has found that you can make a 3000-pound car ride softer and hold the road better by far than many cars that weigh a full 1000 pounds more. In the ’53 Ford, for example, front end road shock has been reduced up to 80%. We say it compares most favorably with the heaviest cars sold today. . What about automatic transmissions? It would take the fingers of both hands to count the various kinds of automatic and semi-automatic transmissions on the market today. The one we offer is called Fordomatic. It is the most versatile on the market, it represents the most profound consideration of engine-to-wheel power transfer— and that it does the best job for our engines isn’t even open to question. It "shifts” better than you could shift by hand. What you can see 2s also important. Here again Ford Cars lead not only in their price field but in the medium and upper brackets as well. Ford visibility is Full-Circle Visibility. This means huge, curved unobstructed glass area, front and rear, plus side windows that allow all passengers what the hotels call "room with a view.” * Appearance? A higher price, of course, does not make a car more beautiful. Conversely, beauty in a Ford comes "for free.” Ford has found that it costs no more to develop a beautiful car than one that is less pleasing in appearance. You can drive up to the most exclusive doorways in the world and feel perfectly at home in your Ford. Fords , "belong” ... in exactly the same social category as the finest, one-of-kind creations. After all, a Ford is a custom creation multiplied. What about running poets? Here’s one place that Ford’s advantages are obvious. For oil and gas economy Ford has the big cars whipped. Ford parts cost less. Ford service charges are less. Ford tire mileage is thousands of miles greater. And, Ford depreciation is the lowest of any car on the market—bar none. What are Fords made of? Some people have the idea that the costliest cars are made of "better stuff.” It’s true that some high-priced cars have costlier upholstery and fittings. What Ford has is so good, both in durability and appearance, that you probably could not tell the difference. You might even prefer it, because of its better design . and more pleasing appearance. Then there's the question of sheet metal. If you were to measure and analyze the sheet metal structure in the most expensive car, you most . likely would find it identical in thickness to the corresponding panels in Ford, After ail, then, what is the difference between a Ford and the costliest cars? In our opinion, the difference is largely a matter of dimensions, weight (and the power required to move it) plus the distinction of owning a car that not so many other people own. The desire for these things is understandable . .. and probably justified for people'who are willing to pay the price to satisfy it. As to comparing Ford with other cars in its price range, by all means do so if you wish. But, as we said before, you’ll get a better picture of Ford value by comparing with cars that are most like Fords—those that are priced up to twice as much. In fact, we think you’ll quickly begin comparing the other cars with Ford—because the 1953 Ford has really established the New Standard of the American Road. ’53 FORD j < Worth more when you buy it . , .

Hoe ire Answers To, Lawn Problems Should the new lawn be seeded to permanent grasses in the spring? The answer to that question is "no" , says A. G. Smith, associate horticulturist at VPL However, he has some alternate suggestions for this time of year : - - Complete grading and soil preparation. Apply a low-nitrogen fertilizer such as 2-12-li2^ using 12 pounds to 1,000 square feet. Sow Korean lespedeza early, using about 1/3 the weight recommended for grass seed. Cut weeds before they go to seed. In late summer cut lespedeza and remove hay. Apply a fertilizer high in nitrogen. Sow grass seed in the stubble. After the lespedeza hay dries, scatter it as a light mulch. Do not turn soil with spade or plow. Cowpeas may be used instead of lespe• deza. Another alternative: Instead of using legumes as the summer covering for the lawn, sow red top. Apply nitrogen fertilizer, then sow seed. Cut weeds before they go to seed. In the fall mow close to the ground, sweep loose grass off and apply a mixed fertilizer high in nitrogen. Sow grass seed. Do not turn soil with spade or plow. The horticulturist says crabgrass is an annual. It grows when the days are hot and long.

Red Apples Dominate Market, Experts Say The new red sports are taking over Virginia apple circles, the Virginia department of agriculture said today. The old time green apple that lived in a barrel is getting the bulldozer. The Department cast a generally approving eye on this change in apple fashions. It is most likely, the Department said, to please the consumer, who thinks an apple should be red. Moreover, the Department’s apple and peach tree survey shows that old, low-yielding orchards are being plowed under, which should hdp the industry catch up with the competition. Even the Albemarle Pippin, which tickled the palate of Queen Victoria years ago, is a casualty of the reds. The survey showed a 33 per cent decrease in this variety since 1949. It was the same story for Yorks, Staymans, Ben Davis and Winesaps, with reductions ranging from 13 to 24 per cent On the other hand, red strains of Rome Beauty were up 39 per cent, York Imperial reds 17 per cent red Staymans 4 per cent and Red Delicious nearly 8 per* cent since 1949. In the three-year period, 18 per IT cent of all Virginia commercial trees were abandoned or removed and only about 5 per cent of all trees replanted, the Department said. But this was on the rosy side because better located and more efficient orchards were left to overcome Virginia's big drawback, low yields per tree. Production in the same three years, the Department noted, has stuck pretty close to 10,000,000 bushels, despite the 13 per cent net loss of trees. For peaches the survey story was the same. The' breeds that blush easily were on the up trend, the others down. Elbentas lost 7 per cent of their trees, although these good shipping peaches still made up more than twothirds of all trees. Belle of Georgia, Golden Jubilee ami Hate declined about 25 percent and tfalehaven, Shippers Late Red and'Early Elberta about 7 per cent. Peaches with the pink cheeks are best for the new pick-‘em-yourself trend in peach marketing, the Department said. -«*• ** ' Around many Virginia cities, peach orchardists sell to the city folks who ride out and like to get their peaches fresh from the tree. .

Amissville VFD Reverses Pay-As-You-Go Stand By a close vote of 8 to 7, with 6 members abstaining; the Amissville Volunteer Fire Department reversed itself on its recently adopted Pay-asYou-Go policy, at its regular meeting, April 1. The Department now plans to try to borrow money on its partially completed firehouse building in order to have the second story floored, a well drilled,, the electric wiring completed, lighting fixtures and toilet facilities installed. The reversal came about as a result of non-progress on the building. It was found that members were' too hard pressed by other obligations to finish the building by volunteer labor. The well-drilling in any case could not be handled by the membership. New donors to the fire department were announced by Treasurer Theodore Barron as follows: Mr. and Mrs. Mark Payne, $30, and Dorothy Sayre, F. G.
