HP-aum- '%&%:vr VOLUME 4—NUMBER 26, WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY MORNING, APRIL 30, 1953 - H- v I 1 bm [ V H ... :|| yW V ■ ■ ■ M 1 MM ■ Jo Ellen Worth Is Soloist With Madison Glee Clnb (Miss Jo Ellen Worth, talented young soprano soloist for the Madison College Glee Qub, came home Thursday night to highlight a program of choral music and special selections at the Sperryville School .auditorium. Miss Worth, a native of Washington and a junior at Madison College, has had “a flair for music” since she -was a little girl. On the program Thursday night, Miss Worth sang “The Night is (Calm and Cloudless” and “Love is Where You Find It." She also teamed 'with Wayne Garber, guest baritone, in two duet renditions, “Imponte (from ‘La Traviata')” and “Indian Love Call.” Miss Worth’s calm stage manner and crystal clear mature soprano voice added a professional touch to the program. The Glee Club, under direction of Edna T. Shaeffer, performed flawlessly during the one hour program. The appearance at Sperryville was the third the Glee Club had made that day. The 47-girl group has toured central points throughout the state during the season, which has included a program with the National Symphony ind a television show at Roanoke. Miss Worth, a graduate of Washington High School, is majoring in business administration at Madison. She said Thursday night that she hopes to get an office job with the State Department or some organization with which she might go abroad and study in Europe. She has been with the Glee Club since she entered Madison College on a scholarship three years ago. The Worth-Garber duet team is rating a “fixture” around Madison College, members of the Glee Club said. The two are contacted to sing for various programs and in the Harrisonburg churches. Mr. Garber Thursday night supplied a sort of aiistic, comic interlude with his whimsical rendition of “Jonah and the Whale.” Still in a light, but less whimsical mood, the young baritone came back for an enchore with "Song of The Open Road” Among the selections by the Glee Club were “Salutaton,” by Gains; Pueri Hebraeorum, by Thompson: Greensleeves; and “The Magic Hour,” by Read. Minstrel Show Postponed The V.F.D. county-wide minstrel show has been postponed in order to give participants more time to polish itheir various, acts, CoJ. J. N. Caperton, chairman of the entertainment committee, has announced. AmissviHe Happy Stringers were ready to go. $ Braxton James and his mandolin, Bobby Cocder and his guitar, are the leaders of this lively act “If other performers show the same spirit as these Amissville Happy Stringers,” said the Col., “the minstrel may be ready for its first performance in early June. Now, however, we need more time to insure a real show.” „ * The date for the next practice session for the minstrel show wiU be determined by the entertainment committee, at itf next meeting, May 14, at the Washington Fire House, at 7:30 p.m. Complete attendance is urged .

Of course, the fisherman’s story has been getting warmed up during the past few weeks. The gentlemen of the angle, rod and red, are preparing themselves for the stories they shall bring home after tomorrow. Mrs. Arthur Miller reports that Jimmie Settle pulled a four-pound bass from the Miller pond the other day. Mrs. Miller, fast becoming a fishing enthusiast, is showing no signs of qualifying in the class of regular fisherman story-tellers; she (admits that she caught one only two inches long—and no fisherman would say that! Jimmie Settle’s four-pound bass was photographed, according to reports from the Miller household, and Mrs. Miller says, “It was a shame to, cook anything that pretty; we should have mounted it so we could show it off." Bulb Annonncment Mr. and Mrs. Russell Racer are (receiving congratulations on the birth of a sop, Russell McKinley, bom Monday, April 27, in Warren Memorial Hospital, Front Royal.

Members of her family have been constantly at her bedside. Elder and Mrs. Daily have been notified of the continued illness of Mrs. Liseie Biggs at her home in Ealls Church.. Jackie Sisk Sets Strike-Out Record By Nick Cassio The old saying that “you can’t hit it if you can't see it” came true to form as Jackie Sisk, young sophomore pitcher from Rappahannock County High School, sent Stuyvesant back to Warrenton to the tune of 18 strike-outs as R. C. H. S. scored its first win, 6-5. Strike-outs are nothing new to Jackie, as he had breezed through 13 just two days prior against Madison. To date, Jade has pitched 14 innings with a total of 31 strike-outs. Firemen-High School Baseball Game The practice game for the county firemen's baseball team took place Sunday afternoon on the high school baseball diamond at Washington when the County Firemen played the Rappahannock High School team. Both teams fought hard for the game. The school boys showed practice and gave the be9t that was in them, as some were in hopes of making die firemen’s team. There was a large crowd present and even though the firemen, who had put in eighteen men to test ability as players, lost 6-4. EVeryone seemed to have had a good time. The enthusiasm was as it should have been, "All for Rappahannock.” Mayor Will Pitch First Ball Opening Firemen's Her Honor, (Mayor Dorothy C. Davis, win pitch out the first ball opening the season for the fireman’s baseball team at the high school diamond, Washington, on Sunday afternoon at 8 o’clock. (There have been no announcements as to whether Hie (Mayor has another date to play golf.) Bon Weddle will pitch at the opening of the Chiefs first game. The three fire companies of Rappahannock have joined forces to organise the "Fire Chiefs” into a team. Plans a-foot designate that the first few games must be played on the present available fields, but the firemen are scheduling work on cleaning a permanent and adequate baseball diamond at Flat Woods, between Washington and Sperryville. The first game will be with Stephens City, which was listed as leader of the league last year. Admiseien price is 56 cents, set by the league officials. R.C.H.S. Meats Stnyresant R.U.H.S. registered its first win of the baseball season Friday, April 24, when the high school team defeated Stuyvesant School of Warrenton in a regular schedule 7-inning game that ran to 10 innings. John Turner started for the Rappahannock boys but ran into trouble when lie lost his control in the third inning. Up to then Turner had credited himself with six strike-outs. The climax of the game came when Sonny Brown, star catcher for the Panthers, bunted safely down the first base line on a beautifully executed squeeze play for Jackie Sisk to come in, knotting the score five-aU. The shades of ‘Scooter* Rizzuti were on the field as Strother Brown, versatile athlete, doubled and later scored as the “Iron Man Himself,” Punk Pullen, lined one down to first base. Thus ended thh ball game, 6-5. May 8 the Panthers again will take to the field seeking a second win in interscholastic competition. —N.C. AMISSVILLE P.-T. A. The next meeting of the Amissville P. T. A. will be held in the school May & at 7 p-m. .__ RAPP-CHATS By: W. £L Lyne County Agent Several of Rappahannock’s leading citizens and landowners have donated cash, many have written letters. What is it all about and what are the results? What more i$ needed ?? ? Some of you know the Rappahannock Commodity Committees (horticulture, agronomy, livestock, and poultry) have been trying to get a complete survey of the soils in our county. Why—because such will reveal in detail the physical characteristics or properties of our soils on any given acre of land in question. These physical characteristics determine what that acre of land is. capable of producing economically. Chemical content of soils; or the amount of the major plant food elements such as phosphates, potassium, magnesium and calcium; have a great influence on productivity, but regardless of how abundant they may be in a soil their influence is governed by the physical characteristics of the soil in which they are associated. Now it would sound (and be) silly, were anyone to keep a sow to insure a good milk supply for one’s family. Neither would it be sensible for anyone to use a concrete mixer to stir up a dozen or so eggs. Yes, these are extreme examples, but after all it is the knowlcdae of their structure Few of us can ever become expert soil technicians and it’s not necessary that many of us try to. What we should know is what these technicians find out for us through a soil survey just as a doctor may find out through his examination what may be best for our ailment. So much for what it is all about Now for the most redent results and I quote a letter dated April 27th from Dr. S. S. Obershain, in charge of Soil Survey Work in Virginia: “Dear Billy:— I have your*letter of April 23rd indicating that you and your co-workers have done one of the most sincere jobs towards obtaining a survey, of anyone I have known. I assure you that we are bending every effort towards coming this year, and our plans include such a move. There are a number of “difficulties wich we have not yet been able to get around, which makes it impossible for us to make a definite announcement yet We are planning to try to get our plans together so we can make an announcement as soon as possible. I am afraid it is going to be almost July 1st before we can make up definite plans. Thdre are a number of things that have come in and have seriously interfered. One is you know there is reorganization on the Federal level. This makes our Federal Co-operation uncertain. We hope it will be more, it may be nothing/We received a wire yesterday from Fairfax stating that they had included an item in their budget for $15,000 a year to make us move there. We have two counties that we must complete this year and get out of, and there is another area that we need to get into so desperately from the point of view of using poor surveys that have already been made. I will push things along as hard as I can, so that we can make a definite commitment, but k will be a few weeks, I am afraid, before k can be done. In the meantime, I assure you that we are doing everything that we possibly can to meet the sincere efforts aqd requests on the part of you and our co-workers with kindest personal regards, I am ■r ' Yours truly, *..t 8. S. Obeushain Aldhizer Declares For State Senate George 9. Aldhizer II, of Harrisonburg, was the only candidate qualifying as Democrat for the State Senate representing the 24th Senatorial Dtsirict. This is to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Raymond Guest, former Senator for this district. Mr. Aldhizer, a lawyer and farmer, represents several farmers organizations. He is a former Delegate, having represented the county of Rockingham and the city of Harrisonburg. Telephoae Call Frem Tokyo Seems Impossible “People keep telling me it must have been a tape-recording,” says Mrs. Irving E. Sisk, Jr., of Washing-* ton, in telling about a telephone call she had from her husband, Pfc. Irving Sisk, from Tokyo. “I know that can’t he true,” she says, “because he sounded as if he might be at Merrill's Garage, or just as close. He said he couldn’t hear me so well, but I could hear him fine. Besides, if it were a tape-recording, how would he have known what questions I asked him and given the answers?” Mrs. Side, who spends her time half with her family, Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Woodward, and the other half with her husband’s family, stated that she had to sit at the phone for 25 minutes waiting for the call to come through. It was a person-to0|^|| ^ ' '£g£jp£ - * making her reassert the fact that she was the Jean Sisk to whom die call was sent. After the call finally came through, she and Mr. and Mrs. Sisk had * five-minute chat with Pfc. Sisk in Tokyo. Pfc. Irving E. Sisk, Jr., was inducted in February 1952 and went overseas in September. He had been in Korea but was back in Tokyo for a week of rest and recreation when he made the phone call home last Friday. He hopes to ship back to the States in August James H. Falls Stationed In Japan Army Pvt. James H. Falls, son of Mr. and Mrs. Layton Falls of Warrenton, recently arrived in Japan and is now serving with the 1st Cavalry Division. Part of the U. S. security forces in Japan, the 1st Cavalry Division is undergoing intensive field training. It was rotated from Korea in late 1951 after 17 months of combat duty. Private Falls, whose wife, Myrtle, lives in* Woodville with her parents. Mr. and Mrs. Weldon Burke, entered the Army last August and received his basic training at Camp Pickett. Wheat Price Support Set At $2.40 for County A base price support of $2.40 per bushel for 1953 wheat in Rappahannock county has just been announced by the local office of Production and Marketing Administration. H. S. Barksdale, PMA county chairman, said supports will be carried out through loans and purchase agreements, both available to producers through January 81, 1964. Wheat‘loans mature April 30, 1954. Virginia farmers placed nearly a million bushels of wheat from the 1952 crop under PMA’s loan program, Mr. Barksdale said, representing 2,991 separate loans. In Rappahannock county there were 8 loans made oh 8,166.67 bushels of wheat. ENTERS ARMED FORCES James W. Jenkins, WoodvUfe, left Tuesday, April 28, for Alexandria, where he will join the Armed Forces.

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 OLDMAN ADAM By Dr; Alfred P. Haake (Editor’s Notes Alfred P. Haake, Ph.D., it Chairman of the Laymens National Committee and Mayor of Park Ridge, Illinois.) Somebody said that civilization is only skin deep. I’d like to add my five cents worth and say that the skin is pretty thin. Old Adam bursts out on the slightest provocation and sometimes the skin is badly torn in getting the old rascal back where he belongs. Automobiles attract the old scoundrel enormously. You can go on building up a fine personality, gentle and courteous‘in all walks of life. You can barely tip someone on the elbow standing in a crowded elevator, and turn to apologize for the error. But, when you sit in an automobile, behind that steering wheel to unlimited adventure, the old Adam springs out and takes control in the most awkward and distressing manner. The gentlemanly or ladylike mien, developed in the growing personality disappears like magic, and a snarl crowds its way to the kindly face of a few moments ago. Instead of the “I beg your pardon,” of the elevator, there is the “What the—do you think you’re doing?” of the automobile. The other day I parked my car at the end of the row of legal parking places. As I came out of the building to drive .off, another car tried to squeeze in behind me. The driver jumped out, left his motor running, and dashed into the building. His car whammed into the bade of mine. Mine was just three days old, in my possession, and I was still meticulously careful about it I saw a slight dent where the jalopy had whammed into my rear bumper, but I decided to let it go and pull out. v Nothing doing, as I started forward to turn out, the jalopy closed in behind me and whammed again as I stopped to get out I saw that the young heathen had a brake lever in his car but apparently no brakes operating on the car. It could not be stopped even on the gentle incline where we stood. -So I went into the building to ask him to hold his engine long enough <to let me get out from in front of him. He finally dashed out, barely glanced at my bumper with his car nestled against it, ignored me, pumped into his car, and with a squeal and a succession of rearend explosions he went like a bat out of Hades around On STRASBURG ROAD FRONT ROYAL THURSDAY, APRIL 30 JAMES STEWART —in— “BEND OF THE RIVER” (Color by Technicolor) FRI.-SAT., MAY 1 - 2 ANTHONY STEELE DINAH SHERIDAN — in — “IVORY HUNTER” (Color by Technicolor) SUN.-MON., MAY 3 - 4 ABBOTT and COSTELLO — In-— “LOST IN ALASKA” TUES.-WEDM MAY 5 - 6 4 MAUREEN O’HARA JEFF CHANDLER if “FLAME~OF~MIA Washington D.

I could not follow him, angry as I was, for I have to pay respect to speed laws in our town, and the young heathen was already more than a block away before I realized how he had skirted my left end for a touchdown with the jalopy. Then I went to the -police station, with three counts against the young heathen. Illegal parking, speeding and driving without brakes. A few minutes ago the Chief of Police called me. That car, he told me, belonged to the high school son of a friend of mine. Did I want to press the charges against him? I thought it over. "No, I guess not, Chief. Just call the lad in and show him the danger of driving and parking as he does. You might also tell him that he would certainly have been arrested if he had been less fortunate in choosing his father.” So now I realize that I was a bit hasty and perhaps I was a bit overindignant when I told him about his terrier bumping into my car. Perhaps I am wrong in not forgetting that he did not even say “Sorry,” when he saw what he had done. But,'I don’t know. And I can't get myself to believe that I was to blame for being in his way when his car failed to stay put where he tossed it Good old Adam!

On April 22nd, at Roanoke, I discussed international cooperation before a meeting of the Virginia Federation of Women’s Clubs, and stressed the need for us to make sacrifices to meet the current Soviet threat to our security. These two topics were dramatically tied togeter for me the day when I returned from Roanoke and found in my mail a letter from a seventeenyear old Italian school boy. Pfcviously this boy had written to thank me for sending him information about our national parks and recreation facilities and in my reply I had commented on my impression, during two trips to Italy, of an apparent misunderstanding of our European aid program. I expressed the fear that many Italians thought we were trying to dominate their economic and political life whereas all we asked in return for our billions of dollars was assurance that we would have worthwhile allies in a free world and respected, as ours does, the sacred night of the individual. In his reply to this letter the Italian school boy said he must regretfully agree with what I said about the attitude of some of his people and he illustrated this by telling of some communist skiing companions who refused to believe the Soviet Union was not a "paradise.” He then wrote: "I am very grateful to your People for his help, which allowed my country to rise moral if America, instead of presentagain. But I think it would be more ing us millions and millions of dollars would make us able to earn them, liberalizing trades, lowering and reducing customs duties and migration "We must learn your economic way of life (high production and high wages) to allow greater welfare, and we must learn to unite Europe because only this way is good to increase standard life. But the same progress which obliges Europe to unite, acts on the whole world. Certainly it is necessary, as you say, to fight for a free world, but it must be a truly free one and not only by half.

Indeed, his exposition of the principles of “trade, not aid/’ seemed so fine, not only for a school boy but for one of ahy age, that I had the letter printed in the Congressional Record for the benefit of my colleagues who soon will be considering a bill to renew our reciprocal trade program and the question of what further appropriations we should make for European recovery aid. WS.C.S. MEETING The W.S.C.S. of Washington Methodist church met Thursday evening in the home of Mrs. Gilbert Updike with fifteen members present. The program based on the Evangelistis Mission.

That’s the last day of the month because of a poem kids have always Beamed: “Thirty days hath. . ” etc. April 30 is also the birthday of Sir 'John Lubbock, English naturalist (If that’s not true, you can sue the encylopaedia.) He was a big banker and politician, so the story goes, but be is Chiefly known as the man who had a tame wasp. He caught the wasp young, fed her on his hand, stroked her on the back, and carried her in a bottle on his journeys, and she only stung him once when she was flustfated by a train conductor. o o o Tomorrow will be the first day of May. If a maiden wakes early, finds a four-leaf clover, and then washes her face in the early morning dew, she wiH be guaranteed beauty—so the tales say. If she finds a dime, instead of the four-leaf clover, she can purchase a cake of soap and wash her face, and she’ll be dean—and that would be more practical if less romantic.

W ALKUS(Continued from page 2) There is one period when a man is undisputed master in his own house: it’s from the day of his birth until about his third year. o o o Blessed is die mad who can say, "I ain’t mad at nobody.” o o o I saw by a city paper the other day that a Congressman complains the farm family is being driven to extinction. He meant, not that the farm could cease, but that a certain segment of American society which an the past has produced the “local boy made good” was now in danger of being wiped out of existence. (And the first fellow who comments: “Brother when you live on a farm, ‘exist’ is what you do!” will have to stand in the corner for his ill-timed jest.) A late March issue of Pennsylvania Farmer carried a brief but significant article by Wellington D. Smith of the Pcnnsplvania Young Farmers Association. His theme was the almost incredible progress we have witnessed since the turn of the century. As he put it, “Fifty-two years ago tEe telephone and electricity were in the infant stage. No one believed in the horseless carriage or the gasoline engine. Old Ddbbin and the wagon wheel were here to stay. The breech loader was then our secret weapon. “Today I am surrounded with the necessary but apparently luxurious automobile, streamliner, super-sonic jet aircraft, atomic submarine, radio, television, deep freeze, electric kitchen combine, hay baler, field chopper and diesel tractor. Even old| Daisy (the family cow) is equipped with a jet pump. During the years following World War II there have been fabu-1 lous investments made in agricultural enterprises. Such investments have served to cause a tremendous increase in agricultural production” The result of this, Mr. Smith believes, is that farming is becoming a true and integral part of our vast ndustrial system. And here he node the telling observation that farming '*.... is no longer a proposition for the man with the hoe. It s a profession for the man with a knowledge of the science of the soils, the language of a cow, and the heart of a tractor.” Science and machines have gone a long way to transform the face of the land. And the are transforming the Ives of the men and women who live on the land. o o o Next morning our bedside memoranda usually turns out to be iniecipherable or inane.
