Lyne County Agent Fred Dreiling, associate horticulturist of V.P.I., visited a number of apple orchards in the county recently with the county agent and that evening discussed his observations with a pitifully small gathering of growers. Dreiling reported apple set as follows: Winesap, good; Stayman fair; Delicious, light to poor and scattered; Yorks, spotty as this is an off year as a whole in the county; Golden Delicious, off year; Rambo, good set. The insect and disease situation is briefly as follows: Frog Eye—a black rot organism on foliage which traces back to blighted twigs where it entered after the heavy fire blight last year. While not alarming at present, this could cause trouble later on in the season. If weather is wet or damp last of June and first of July, put on a material like Ferbam or Captan. Watch out for this disease carefully. Scab—there is some, particular ly on Rambos, but not alarming. The regular spray program timely applied should control. Rosy Aphids—scattered infestation, not enough to spray for, also will soon be leaving to go to another plant. Red Mites—one orchard heavily infested with 10-12 mites per leaf. Did not know whether this orchard received m dormant spray or not. Where mite infestation is this heavy, spray now using parathion or EPN or Aramite will control. Leaf Roller—none found. Cedar Rust—found on one tree in one orchard; nothing to be (See RAPP-GHATS, page 6) Colorful History Re-told is Washington Baptist Church Lays Corner-Stone of Hew Sunday School Rooms (With Washington Baptist Church faying the corner-stone in their new Sunday school rooms Sunday, May 17, the history of the church has been revised and brought up to date.) The Washington Baptist Church is located in Washington, Rappahannock county, Virginia. Until May, 1952 it was a church field composed of four or more churches, since then the field has been consolidated and Flint Hill and Washington now comprise a two-church field- At Washington services are held the second and third Sunday mornings, and the first and fourth Sunday nights. In this way there are services in the church every Sunday except die fifth Sunday when the Methodists hold services. The church is built on a lot given by Miss Mary Long, and another lot bought from her for $100. The church is a brick two-story structure built in 1873 as a branch of Mt. Salem church. It was paid by some members from Mb Salem, and members of the Masonic Lodge. The Masons own the upper story and pay two fifths of the upkeep of the main part of the building* The building committees for the Church and Lodge were as follows: for Church, Dr. A. W. Read, James A. Templeton, James F- Kemper, B. F. Miller, F. L. Slaughter; For Lodge Thomas B. Massie, Baldwin B. Baggarly, Robert L- Menefee, N. B- , Nichol, John A. Compton. Although the church was built in 1873 it was not organised until January 10th, 1882. On that date the following charter member adapted a covenant apd Articles of Faith: Mr. and Mrs- James M. Gordon, Mrs., T. B. Massie. Miss Maggie Massie, Mrs. Eliza Jones Sr., Mrs. Lewis Massie, Mr. John J. Miller, Mr. James T. Harris, Mrs. G B. Wood, Mrs. B.F Miller, Mrs. N. H. Keyser, Miss Alice Miller, Miss Saintie Carter, Miss Ida F. Miller, Mrs. C. A. Wood- It is interesting to note that many of these charter members have decendants in the Church now who are trying to carry on the work. At nearly ©very service for the first few years there were additions. The first to come by •baptism were Miss Bertie Jenkins and Miss Lizzie Thornton. Mr. James F. Kemper preached the first few months, the church called him. but he found out he could not accept the call. The first regular pastor was Rev. L. R- Steel, and his first sermon was the Great Commission found in Matt- 28:19-21. The church appointed collectors for the different mission boards soon after it was organized, and also applied for membership in the Shiloh Association August 29th, 1882 through their delegates'being Mr. N. H. Keyser and Mr. James T. Harris. During Mr. Steel’s ministry a missionary society was organized in January 1884, and for these sixty-nine years has tried to carry out the teachings of the Oreat Commission. The first protracted meeting was held in September 1882, and several members were added to the church. Through the years the church has had many good pastors, and when we were without a pastor we have%been blessed by haying good supplies. Our , pastors have been Rev. L. R. Steel from July 25th, 1882 until April 4th, 1884. A. G. Fristoe September 1884 unti—? Rev. Hugh Goodwin February 1889-June 1892. Then the church was without a pastor for some time, and the thinutes were either lost or not kept for about five years. However, part of this time Dr. S. C. Clopton supplied for us. Rev- S- W. (Cole was our pastor September 1899— May 1903. For eighteen months our church was pastorless then Mr. M. R. (See Church History, page 4) County Firemen Hold Business Meet Tonight On Thursday evening.

Chiefs Even League Record With 8 - 6 Victory Behind the fine pitching of Junior Hawkins and Ned Settle, the Rappahannock Chiefs won their first league victory at Winchester Sunday, May 10, by an 8 to 6 count. In a slow-moving game that saw the lead change five times, the local boys wore down each of the five pitchers used by the White Sox to gain the win. Elmer Foster continued to show the way for the Chief hitters as he collected a single and a double, while Charles Dodson, Ned Settle and Pete Clater netted a pair of singles each. The big blow of the game, however, was pounded out by the winning pitcher, Ned Settle, as he came through in the ninth with a bases-loaded double. While winning, the Chiefs were only able to touch to Winchester hurlers for eight hits. Ten baaes on balls, plus some sloppy fielding allowed plenty of the Rappahannock boys to get on base. Although 8 runs were scored, 21 other Chiefs were left«stranded on the tv'ses as the scoring punch was JM>ing time and again. ^ Vfinl turn-out of local fans heldicr-v-e Chiefs put this game aw/.y. Rappahannock fans outnumbered the Winchester fans by close to ten-to-one. No question about it, this enthusiasm aided the Chiefs considerably in winning.

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 Your Senator, A. Willis Robertson DIRECTION OF administration MORE EVIDENT PROGRESS Many attempts have been made recently to appraise the first 100 days of the new national administration. To me, the significant thing about this period has been the direction in which the administration is headed, rather than the progress that has (been made. The Eisenhower administration is headed toward a more simplified and less costly form of government; toward more private enterprise and less paternalism and toward greater recognition of both States’ rights and States’ duties and obligations. So far, however, none of the major administrative proposals has been written into law and my ©pinion is that if the program covered by the President in his State of the Union Message is to be carried out, the Congress will be in session during the “dog days” of next summer. One item of the administration program, but not a major one, which has been approved by the House and' the Senate is the proposal, to give the states clear title to the submerged lands resources within their historic boundaries. States’ rights are confirmed by this bill only out to the three mile limit, except in the case of •Florida and Texas which will be given an opportunity to establish iQ court their claim to the three league (approximately ten mile) line in the Gulf of Mexico. Most of the oil resources off our coasts, however, are under the continental shelf beyond the historic state boundaries and a bill confirming federal jurisdiction over this area still is to be considered by the . Congress. I anticipate little difficulty will be encountered in passing this bill which will provide much more potential revenue than the three-mile limit bill which was argued for a month The foreign policy of the administration is gradually taking shape but it hinges on congressional action on the reciprocal trade act and on the defense and foreign aid items in the budget. President Eisenhower is seeking to carry forward the fundamental principles of previous administrations in matters of interna THURSDAY, MAY 14 GREGORY PECK ‘ ‘ BLYTH —in— “THE WORLD IN HIS ARMS” FRI.-SAT., MAY 15 - 15 AUDIE MURPHY YVETTE DUGAY -r- in — “The Cimarron Kid” (Color by Technicolor) SUN.-MON., MAY 17 - 18 PIPER LAURIE ROOK HUDSON — in — “HAS ANYBODY SEEN MY GAL” TUBS.-WED., MAY 19 - 25 DORIS DAY RONALD REAGAN “THE WINNING TEAM” tional cooperation but on a less expensive basis. The President asked for a one year continuation of the reciprocal trade act in its present form to implement the Republican slogan of last year, “trade, not aid,” but between 200 and 300 witnesses have asked to testify before the House Ways and Means Committee in behalf of a more restricted trade program. My present guess is that the President’s position will prevail, with Democratic help, but only if he continues to take a firm position in its behalf. President Truman last January presented what he termed a tight budget and said it could not be cut, but it will be cut, in some instances rather drastically. My guess is that the spending budget next year will slightly exceed revenue for that year but the difference will be furnished by earmarked funds such as Social Security payroll taxes for which government bonds are issued as soon as the money is received. This increases the national debt but removes the necessity for inflationary •borrowing from commercial banks. 2 'The Time Hat Come / 1 ... the Walrus said ... “Tell me,” said the conversationally inclined neighbor, “what it is in human nature that makes people so selfishly inconsiderate?” “Now, whoa! hack up a njinute,” said I, "what <Jo you mean ?” “Well, as an example,” continued the friend, “you go to a movie. There are people there who don’t like the show—it just isn’t their kind—what do they do? They talk and make so much noise that the rest of us who happen to like that kind of movie can’t hear. It never seems to occur to them to consider the other fellow.

It might be that I went there to hear my child but others who are not interested never seem to think about that; so, just at the time when I want to listen, somebody begins to talk or be noisy. I can give you another example: I went to' an auction sale the other day and some women, who must have come to catch up on their visiting, talked so loud and so long that half the time I couldn't even hear what the auctioneer was selling.” “Look, friend,” was my answer. “I’d like to give you the stock reply a printer friend used to give whenever anyone complained: ‘Don’t tell me your troubles; I got troubles o’ my own!’ Even if I knew the answer—and I don’t think anyone does—you wouldn’t believe it.” The Bible says something about the “poor ye have with ye always” and perhaps some copying-monk through the Middle Ages, who preserved the Book for us, failed to include the words “rude and inconsiderate” along with “poor.” Dear rriend, I agree with you; lots of people are inconsiderate of othersThey are noisy when other people prefer quiet. But, goodness knows, I don't know why. Maybe the trouble is with us- Maybe we are old-fashioned and were brought up in an age when it was stylish to teach children to be considerate of others. Maybe we were told that being noisy in a public place is a mark of rudeness and ill-breeding. Maybe that isn't stylish any more. I just plain don’t know the answer to your question; but, my Friend, I’ll let you in on this little secret. I don’t like the noise any better than you do. o o o I started to complain of the hot weather the other day, and then, I remembered something: school is going to be late letting out this summer because of days missed during the winter.

CHURCH HISTORY (Continued irom pact 1) Sanford supplied for a year. Rev. J. F. Kemper became pastor September 1908 and stayed with us until Decetriber 1909. In June 1910, Rev. W-J. Reynolds became our pastor and was with us until February 1915- For a year we had Mr. McFadden and then again Mr. S- W. Cole from June 1917 until he was called to his Heavenly Home January 1929. While he was with us he was granted a three months leave of absence to serve with the State Mission Board at Norfolk to look after the spiritual needs of the soldiers in War I. Mr. John \. St Clair was our pastor from September 1934 until November 1941. In July 1944. Mr. Lewis Broughman became our pastor and stayed with us until January 1949. Mr. M. E. Sliger came to us September 1949 and was with us until May 1952. In November 1952 our present pastor Mr. G. M. Profitt came and under his Christian leadership we hope to go forward “attempting great things for God, and expecting great things from God.” All of these pastors have been godly men who like die great apostle Paul “Press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God is Christ Jesus." The church has been pastorles^ much of the time, but we have been fortunate enough to have had such supplies as: Mr. P. H- Chelf, Dr. E. L. Honts, Dr. Gatlin, Mr. David Hammock, Dr. G.

Circle and Counselor for the G.A.’sThe Sunday School was organized two months after the church wlas, and through the years has- meant much for the spiritual welfare of the community. For years it has been the only Sunday School in the village. Some of the menders from the other two denominations by their help and'’cooperation have aided much to its success. The late Mr. John A- Keyser was forty years our Superintendent. His faithfulness was ever an in spiration to tne members. His nephew, Judge R. V. Snead is now our Superintendent and under his guidance we are growing. In 1951 as a trial we adopted the United Budget which has proved a success, so it continues through the years. The church property has been improved from time to time. In May 1911 the side aisles were closed and a center one fixed. The choir stand was made level with the pulpit, and the building painted inside and outside. At the same time the WUIing Workers built a gas house and put gas in the church, electric lights were later installed. In 1927 two S- S. rooms were added to each side of the church. The members of the church dedicated one room to Miss Mary Long who gave the lot for the building, another room was given in honor of Mrs. • Annie Keyser, a charter member by the members of her family and a third room was given by the Jones family in memory of Mrs. Elizabeth E. Jones, the first president of the missionary society. In 1939 the church was improved by putting in new electric light fixtures, painting the church on the inside, putting drapes at the windows and laying a new carpet. In 1949 a central heating plant was installed which has been very satisfactory. In the fall of 1951 the inside and outside of the church was painted. In 1952 we began to build an addition at the back of the church, which consisted of four S.S. rooms, two rest rooms, and a small kitchen. The corner stone given by Mr. Carlton Clore of Culpeper, will be laid after services Sunday morning May 17th, 1953. This building Has not been completed, but when it is we feel sure it will add much to the effectiveness of our Sunday School* We, the present members, of Washington Baptist Church are proud of our church and the organizations connected with it, and we hope each member will ever follow in the footsteps of our Master; like the early members who in 1882 organised the church and dedicated it to the glory of God and the work of His Kingdom. —Written and revised by Mrs. J. Frank Jones May, 1953 Strauss Will Speak - At June 3 Exercises By Mrs. B. O. Cal fee The announcement that Admiral Lewis L. Strauss, nationally known for his outstanding services in special objectives both during and following World War II would be the guest speaker at Confederate Memorial Day, June 3, was made at the meeting of Culpeper Chapter, U.D.C, held on Friday, May 8, Culpeper Baptist church. The services on June 3, to which everyone is cordially invited, would be held, it was said, in Culpeper Courthouse, and the speaker would be presented by Judge Burnett Miller Jr. Southern music will feature the program, and the exercises in the court house will be followed by a short program at the Confederate monument in Fairview cemetery, where the mound will be covered with flowers and small Confederate flags. During the business session with the president, Mrs. Thomas A. Jeffries, presiding a cordial welcome was extended to a new member, Mrs. William Ashby Hetrick, and to a prospective member, Mrs. Margaret Jones Stone- In the report given by members who had attended the Fourth District Meeting held recently in Stanardsville, was said that this meeting had unanimously endorsed Mrs. Ferguson Cary, past state historian and even more recently past historian-general, for the office of State President Mrs. Cary was nominated by Mrs. D- E.

The historical program, which was in charge of Mrs. B. T. Loy, included many interesting details of the life of Southern Women during the War Between the States, the speaker telling much of their hard home life in the years that they kept the homes and the farms going as best i they could—which sometimes was very good, indeed—white the men were away in the army. She also told of just ho# many of these women braved life and safety to “run the blockade" by bringing medicine and other necessaries to the south from other more favored sections. At the conclusion of her paper, which had been greeted with applause, incidents were told of a former Culpeper lady, Mrs. Gertrude Williams of “Redwood,” who in her frequent trips to her former home in Baltimore, was able to bring hack much needed medicine .

Senior Play Proves Entertaining and Profitable “Autograph Annie,” the play presented by the Senior Class of Rappahannock County High School Friday evening, proved that the county has nothing to be ashamed of as to the ability and conduct of its future leaders. Peggy Ann Green, as Autograph Annie, and Newbill Miller, as the assistant English professor who made the campus famous, were ably supported by Joan tBrown and Mary Frances Dodson, representatives from rival sororities for the title of University Girl. The roles of the various types of college girls were well portrayed by Catherine Lillard, Ann Lynn Atkins, Shirley Weaver, Dorothy 'Hitt, Bessie Dodson, Mary Helen Bruce, Annie Mary Williams, Louise Deal, and Lucille Pullen. Louise Johnson and Barbara Griffith played the parts of the ladies’ maid and the kitchen maid. Newbill Miller’s fraternity brothers, who helped him elect Anne to the coveted honor of University Girl, were Franklin Hawkins, George Pullen, Ned Johnson, Daniel Keyser, Edward Armentrout, Douglas Martin, Fraanklin Payne, Arthur Pullen, Bobby Massie, Winfrey Thornhill, and Wilbert Pullen. T The school, the patrons, and the county are all proud of this good-looking group of young people. $175 was realised from the performances.—M.H.W.

Twenty home demonstration members from Rappahannock cuonty attended the district meeting in Madison on Wednesday.

The first week of May 3 through the 9th again has been marked for national recognition of home demonstration women, of their work and their leadership. “Today’s Home Builds Tomorrow’s World.” is the theme for the week. It also is die thought on which many of the programs and activities of the clubs are planned. But the members Uve in today's world and they realize that their dividuals and as groups to develop families do, too. They work as inpeace and calm in conduct and in thought, so htat they and their families can live in today’s confusion without (being confused. Women who are members of home demonstration dubs, their families, communities and our nation are rfiher because of the values that come from studying and working together. RAPP-CHATS alarmed about. Mr. Dreiling called attention to the error on First Cover Spray Card for apples. Alternate plan (2) should include 3 lbs. lead arsenate, NO spray lime. I like to see farmers look ahead and plan ahead even though plans can’t always be followed. Henry Wood, Earl Wayland, and Joe Yowell are looking ahead to their liming plans preparatory to seeding. Alfalfa or clover. Soil samples have been collected and sent off for analysis with reports received on two. Why? Simply there is no ned to use liming materials if not needed. Similarly, there’s no need to think of seeding alfalfa or red clover on acid soil. Did it pay to get these analyses? Joe Yowell found out he not only doesn’t need to lime his corn land this year nor will he need to do so for the next 3-4 years. He has been liming once in rotation (3 yrs.) when the land is put to cut. With a pH of 6.5 calcium content high and bagnesium content medium. Mr. Yowell will find it more economical to spend his lime dollars elsewhere. Earl Wayland who plans to seed alfalfa in August on his property near Amissville finds the pH of his soil almost high enough for alfalfa; one ton of ground limestone will do the job, especially since he will make the application several months in advance to allow time for the lime to react. Henry Wood, we expect your report in a few days. I hear there are several farmers down F. T. way experiencing difficulty in getting good stands of clover. May I suggest: first getting a soil test, (let me know if you desire one innoculate the seed with a commercial innoculant (cheap and easy to do) and above all, buy and plant either Kenland Red Clover or Virginia Adapted red clover. Do not accept Vir ginia Grown red clover; it may or may not be Anthraenose resistant. This disease lias wiped out many a good stand of red clover here in Rappahannock.
