VOLUME 4—NUMBER 27 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY MORNING, MAY 7, 1053 $2.00 PER YEAB Overturning Tractor Kills Workman Forest Haney, 36-year-old colored workman, was killed Friday, May 1, when a tractor overturned and crushed his chest. working at a stump-removing job at “Thornton Hill” near Sperryville, Haney did not report from work on Friday afternoon. This was hot considered unusual, since it was closer ^to his home where he was working - than if he had checked back in at the farm. When he did not return to his home by Saturday morning, his wife became concerned and sent someone in search. Haney was found in the field, near the tractor, dead. Marks of the tractor wheel were on his shirt, and the left side of his chest was crushed in. According to reports of Sheriff Critzer and others who investigated the scene, Haney never knew what hit him; he evidently was killed instantly. Haney was not a regular worker at “Thornton Hill” but was employed for the special clean-up job. Funeral services were held Monday from Shiloh Baptist church, Woodville, with intermerft in the church cemetery. A son of Forest Haney and Della Haney, Forest Haney leaves a wife, Frances Andes Haney, and two adopted small children. He was a veteran of World War II. R.C.H.S.

All warm blooded animals are susceptible. The disease is transmitted by the bite of a rabid animal, and there is no evidence that eating the food of an infected animal will cause rabies. Bites of wild animals such as foxes, wolves and wildcats are usually more dangerous since these animals bite deeper. SYMPTONS OF RABIES IN ANIMALS The average incubation time of rabies varies from 2 to 6 weeks, but in some cases may be prolonged as long as 4 months or a year. There are two types of rabies, the “furious" and “dumb" but these types may merge or appear at different stages in the same animal. In the vicious or furious type, one of the first symptons in an altered disposition. The gentle dog becomes morose, hides and refuses food. Then the dog becomes restless, irritable and agitated, particularly when restrained. Strangers may be attacked' without warning. The animal will run an$ shy at the slightest noises. It harks and growls, snarling viciously at anything in its path. If free, it leaves the house, and travels many miles, attacking men and animal’s alike, including the cats, dogs, poultry, horses and cows with which it had lived peacefully. It attacks and passes on, to die in a spastic fit, or fall with its leggs paralyzed. Ammais ariectea witn tne aumD or This type may be unrecognized, alparalytic type do not uually wander, though it is conpnon, since the stage of excitement or irritability is absent or unnoticed, Paralysis sets in early, the jaws gape and saliva drops from the mouth. „ Swallowing becomes painful, and then impossible. This gives the disease the name of “hydro- • phobia," since neither men nor animals can be induced to drink water. The animal falls mto a coma as the paralysis increases and dies. Persons may become infected with this type in attempting to treat the throat of the sick animal, particularly cattle and horses, believing them to be choking. Do not put your hands into these animals' throats without first calling your veterinarian. Animals suffering from rabies, are (See RABIES, page 8) IK APP - OHATS By: W. H. Lyne County Agept The home water supply was started last February by the County Committee organized to do something toward increasing the number of our homes with this important feature. The purpose of the survey is to learn: (1) Which homes do not have home water supply systems; (2) which ones have a water system whch is unsatisfactory; (3) • and from these groups who would like to have a water supply survey made to determine: (a) adequacy of supply, (b) the type of pump that should be used, (c) size of storage tank, (d) amount and size of pipe that would be necessary and (e) and an estimate on the cost of making such an installation. There will be NO charge for such a survey. To date the survey summary shows here are 210 homes with home water supply systems, thus much progress has been made by home owners since our last Agricultural Census was made revealing but 90 homes with pressure water systems. Of this number there are teii unsatisfactory systems. There are 243 homes without water systems of which about 60% are privately owned homes. Reasons given for nobhaving water system are: cost, lack of information, inadequate supply and combinations of these three primary reasons: The remaining home owners (268) have been mailed survey cards which are now in process of being completed and returned to the county agent’s office. It is hoped aM cards will be returned by mid-May at which time the total findings lyill be presented to a second county wide meeting. This meeting will include representatives of all county communities, professional agricultural workers, loan agencies including our banks, well diggers, pump and accessory dealers. The tentative water-supply systems, ways and means of financing systems, planning and scheduling surveys for those desiring samfc and possibly a method demonstration showing a system being installed’ Agifqjiltural engineers of the VPI Extension Service Power Companies and our County Health Department have agreed to help. Richard Edward Luttrell Richard Edward Luttrell, 87, died Monday, May 4, at his home in Amissville after a long period of declining health. Funeral services were conducted Wednesday afternoon at 3 o’clock from Amissvlle Baptist church with the Rev. Harold Carder and. the Rev, J. T. Edwards officiating. Masonic rites were conducted by Washington Masonic Lodge No. 78, A.F.&A.M., with interment in the church cemetery. Son of the late Burrell Edmund' Luttrell and Mrs. Mary Nelson Luttrell, Mr. Luttrell had been a prominent farmer and owner of a tourist court at Amissville until his health became impaired several years ago. He was superinendent of the Amissville Baptist Sunday School and also served as a church deacon. He was a member of Washington Masonic Lodge for 64 years. Mr. Luttrell is survived by his wife, Mrs. Florie Latham Luttrell and four children: Miss Landon H. Luttrell, Amissville; Dr. H. B. Luttrell, of Pulaski; Charles N. Luttrell of Arcadia, California; and James E. Luttrell of C?fcig» Colo.; two 'brothers, David Russell Luttrell of Arlington, and John A. Luttrell of Richmond. Services will be held May 17 and 24 at the Emmanuel Episcopal church at Sperryville with Rev. Arthur L. Ribble conducting. Supervisors Hear Concern Ova* Rabies Epidemic \ Health officers, the county agent, and the county veterinarian were present at the meeting of the Board of Supervisors in the Courthouse Wednesday to voice a serious concern about the rabies cases in the county. v Stating that the conditions at present constitute an epidemic, the health officers and the veterinarian urged that the Board pass a ruling for compulsory innoculation of all dogs in an effort to control the spread of rabies. Dr. Giles, health officer, stated that since March 12 six people had been treated with anti-rabies shots. Rabies at present has already been found in dogs, cats and rats, besides foxes and one bob-cat...=.-— Dr. W. L. Wake, veterinarian, agreed to - co-operate wholeheartedly with an program that would help eradicate rabies. Reports were made showing that rabies innoculations for dogs must be given each year in order to protect the dog and people. Some wrong statements have been made in the past, saying that a dog has to be given shots only every three years, and this has been proved Wrong. In the absence of Commonwealth Attorney W. F. Moffett, Jr., the Board members hesitated to pass any ruing until they knew what the law would be concerning a compulsory innoculation law. The Board recommendation that every dog be innoculated. - Rappahannock Chiefs Lose Opener The Rappahannock Chiefs came out on the short end of a nine to six decision this past Sunday at the high school diamond in Washington. Mayor Dorothy Davis’ throwing out the first ball (a perfect strike) seemed to spark the visitors from Middletown more than the Chiefs; and they pushed across eight quick runs, when loose fielding by the locals set the stage for some power hitting by Judy and Headley of the visitors who obliged with long triples. After die fifth inning the big bat of Elmer Foster, who drove home five runs with three successive hits including a double and a triple; and the fancy wrinkles of Junior Hawkins who handcuffed the visitors for the final innings, enabled the local ball dub to whittle down but not overcome the big lead built up by Middletown in the early nnings. From the fifth on, the Chiefs took command and made a real game foit. No doubt the Chiefs will improve as they gain experience playing together ; and when the reader con- ^ siders that Middletown led the league last year, it looks as though the Chiefs are due for a good season. Next Sunday, May 10th, the Chiefs travel to Winchester to play the White Sox of that town in a game scheduled for 3 p.m. Support such as was shown at the season’s opener* will surely prove a big factor in keepihe local hustlers scrapping through-out the year, so come on out to the ballpark whenever the boys are playing. . Ladies Auviliary Meeting The regular meeting of the Ladies Auxiliary of the Rappahannock Fire 'Company met Monday evening over the Fire House with Mrs. Cox, president, presiding. Mrs. Cox stated that she would accept the presidency and Mrs. C. T. Bruce was elected vice president. With regular business taken care of, die meeting adjourned. Service will be held at the Triaty Episcopal Church May 1ft with WUham Gresham, now' workng at Blue Ridge School and a lay reader, conducting the services.

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 Washington D. C. As Viewed By Yonr Senator, A. Willis Robertson PISTOL OR ATOMIC BOMB, PRINCIPLE IS THE SAME When a panel of reporters questioned Virginia members of Congress at a State Chamber of Commerce dinner in Washington last week and I was asked my opinion of the prospects for peace in Korea, I was compelled to give a pesimistic answer. The Korean action is only one part of a world struggle in which the Soviet leaders are applying economic, political and psychological as well as military pressure. The war Started in Korea because the Politburo did not ’believe we would fight there. It will end, in my opinion, only when those who started it feel that i£ to their interest. It is difficult to see what the Soviet would gain now by ending a war in which the Russians have lost no soldiers, while we have los»t thousands, h&ve tied up at least one half of our effective military force and have spent billions of dollars. 1 A more serious question than when the Korean war will end is: When wiH the Soviet leaders take other agressive steps that will start World War III? One of the most prominent political commentators in Washington told me last week his guess was that Russians would start World War III in 1955, by which time they would have an adequate stock pile of atomic bombs. He recalled a conversaton he had wfrh the late Senator Brien McMahon on the race between the United States and the Soviet Union to stock-pile atomic bombs. McMahon said our situaton was like that of a man in a community whose neighbor had sworn to kill him and then had started to make a pistol. His choice, if he wanted to live was then to prevent the neighbor from making the pistol or else to make two him On STRASBURG ROAD FRONT ROYAL THURS.-FRI., MAY 1 - 8 — DOUBLE FEATURE — BORIS KARLOFF —in— “HOUSE OF FRANKENSTEIN —Hit No. 2ANDREWS SISTERS “GIVE OUT, ASTERS” SATURDAY, MAY 9 JOHN WAYNE DENNIS O’KEEFE — in — “PASSAGE WEST” • (Color by Technicolor) SUN.-MON., MAY 10-11 .

We do not know just how our that of the Soviet but military experts atomic production compares with are agreed that Rtrssia and her satel- ' lites have a larger military force than we and our allies and that they are increasing their force fasfter than we are. If we try to build faster than they * do (like the man making two pistols) we must undertake a financial burden that threatens to disrupt the economy of the free world, and especially that of the United States which is now spending a larger proportion of its budget for defense than any other free nation. It would seejn more logical to deny the Soviet Union access to markets from which esential military supplies can' be obtained (like preventing the man from making the pistol) but we have so far received little cooperation along this line from our European allies, who have insisted they must trade valuabe goods (just as Great Britain gave the jet engine to Russia) in return for supplies they need although there is actually no raw materal which we along wth Canada, Australia and South America could not supply if proper trade arrangements are worked out. In other words, our willingness to stimulate trade as a substitute for foreign ia dmay have a vital bearing in deciding the question of whether or when there will be another world war so destructive that there can be no real victor. tTime Ha* Come/ tk» Walrm Mid . . • Th* Constitution says the VicePresident shall be the president of the Senate and shall vote in case of PITTS On Brandy Road ( Rt 15) li miles North of CULPEPER 2 SHOWS NIGHTLY 7:30 * 9:30 A CAR FULL for $1.00 Plus: 20c tax . . .

Dogs and Foxes ire Rabies Danger, Health Doctor Says Rabid animals are again biting dogs and livestock in this area. Since March 12, 5 foxes, 1 bob-cat, 1 house cat and 1 dog have been found to have rabies in Rappahannock atone. There have been outbreaks in Madison, Culpeper, Orange, Warren, Frederick and Fauquier Counties. Since the dog as a household pet comes in closest contact with man, prevention of rabies in the human is primarily directed at dogs, in requiring annual inoculation of dogs prior to licensing. If you have a cat which you are fond of, it would be well to have yo^r cat vaccinated also. All stray dogs or cats should be destroyed. Your dog should be vaccinated every year so long as the rabies epidemic threatens. Once the symptons of rabies appear in man or animal it is 100% fatal. Unfortunately, there is no known treatment. Rabies, however, can be controlled and prevented. There is a need for further reduction of the fox population before a rabies epidemic reoccurs in this area and goes on to infect other new areas. Otherwise there may occur a Tables epidemic that will not only destroy valuable cattle but may wipe out the foxes completely. Each county involved with rabies could safely stand a reduction of 750 or even 1000 foves and still leave a healthy hunting population. Every citizen is urged to destroy all stray unlicensed dogs and cats, and to take measures against foxes. Dog and cat owners should make sure dog immunized and that the game that they have a certificate for each warden gets the duplicate. This way we will know what dogs are unlicensed and therefore susceptible to rabies. L. T. Giles, M.D. Director, Rappahannock Co. Health Department Flint Hill News Notes James M.

Rabid wild animals will enter farm premises and fearlessly attack dogs or humans. Another characteristic is the tendency of the animal to chew hard objects such as wood, rocks or even glass. Horses and cattle will be nervous and excitable and bite their stalls or mangers, sometimes hard enough to break their teeth. WHAT TO DO IF BITTEN BY • A DOG OR OTHER RABID ANIMAL Rabies is contracted chiefly through btes. Immediately, wash the wound with soap and water and encourage bleeding. This removes most of the caliva including the virus if the animal has rabies. See your doctor and let him decide whether further local treatment or vaccine treatment should be given. WHAT TO DO WITH SUSPECTED ANIMALS Even if the biting dog appears to have rabies it should not be killed unless necessary, but should be locked up for a period'of seven days. This allows time for observation and prevents the animal’s escape if he does have #the disease. An animal with rabies always dies within 10 days of beginning symptons. During the early stages of the disease it is often impossible to determine whether or not animal is infected, but if it dies or is killed late in disease laboratory diagnosis is fairly easily. Do not shoot the animal through the head or hit him on the head as the brain only is used for laboratory diagnosis. If a wild animal bites a domesticated one, it is advised to confine the animal bitten until and examination can be done on animal dping biting. If this examination is not possible it is suggested that animal be confined for 60 days and a veterinarian be cantracted regarding Pasteur treatment. Sometimes the Negri bodies in the brain which are characteristic of rabies, do not show up in early stages of the disease. When a suspected animal dies or is killed the head should be removed very carefully so as not to scratch infected materal into the skin. The wearing of gloves for this has been advised! You can contact your local game warden and local health department Sanitation Officer for information regarding sending the head to the lab. L. T.
