^VbrftT* VOLUME 4—NUMBER 29 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY MORNING, MAY 21, 1953 Last Inning Rally Falls Short, Chiefs Lose 8 - 6 In a game that saw the Rappahannock Chiefs load the bases with one man away in the last inning, but then fail to push across those game-winning runs as Hornshell, the Clarke County pitcher, born down, the local Chiefs lost their second home encounter Sunday, May 17, after a delayed start stortened the game by two innings. Ranny Aylor started for the Chiefs, but was driven from the mound by the big Clarke Co. bats which hammered out 8 hits and 8 runs before Ned Settle came in from third base to extinguish the fire. Old Ned really handcuffed the visitors; from then on he allowed single hits each inning from the second on out and allowed only one runner to advance to second. Wisecarver was top man for the day as he collected 4 straight safeties. He was aided by 3 of his teammates who knocked out a pair of singles each. Top honor for the Chiefs at the plate went to Ned Settle who smacked a double and a single and Sissy Corder who netted a pair of one base knocks. No doubt the poor playing conditions made some difference to the boys in the field, but in spite of the mud and slick grass, the Chiefs played the cleanest game of the season. Another good turn-out by local fans kpt the game moving at a lively pace. Sunday’s game will be played at Stevenson, on Route 11 north of Winchester.

Williams of Castleton purchased at the Tri-Breed Sale what is felt to be by several local cattlemen the best Hereford bull ever to come to Rappahannock County. Certainly this is the best looking Hereford your scribe has ever known to be locally owned. Congratulations Thomas! With a declining beef market quality is all the more important. I hope and believe this herd sire will prove an economical move. Hereford breeders, go see this animal. I’m sure Thomas will be proud to show him off.

An old fashioned Virginia supper was served at twelve in the spacious dining room and at 2 o’clock Chauncey Brown’s orchestra played “Home Sweet Home” and guests departed. “Better than gifts of gold, Or gems of brilliant hues, Better than travel o'er land Or to sail bn many seas, Are the treasures we hold— And guard in our hearts, Our beautiful memories.” —Contributed. Members of the committee for the Hunt all included Mrs. W. P. Slaughter, Mrs. Wade H. Massie III, Mrs. C. Raymond Wire, W. F. Moffett, Jr., and George E. Muth, Jr. The hospitality committee listed (See HUNT BALL, page 4)

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 p'ost office at Washington, Virginia SUBSCRIPTION: (in advance) --$2.00 a year Washington D. C. As Viewed By Your Senator, A. Willis Robertson LEADERSHIP OF VIRGINIA RECALLED BY CEREMONIES Last week I had the privilege of accompanying President Eisenhower to Williamsburg, the Colonial Capital of Virginia, where he received an honorary degree and participated in the inauguration of Admiral Alvin D. Chandler as President of the College of William and Mary. My personal interest in this event was increased by the fact that Admiral Chandler’s father, Dr. J. A. C. Chandler, a former President of William and Mary, was my English teacher at Richmond College. 1 he son does credit to a distinguished father. On May 15, 1926, as a member of "Governor Byrd’s staff I helped to entertain President Coolidge when he came to Williamsburg for the 150th anniversary of the Virginia Resolution of Independence and to receive a degree. Restoration of- 13th Century Williamsurg was just beginning then 'but last week President Eisenhower spoke in the Chamber of the House of Burgesses in the reconstructed Capitol and had in front of him the original document drafted by Edmund Pendleton and passed by the Virginia Convention on May 15, 1776. To me the most significant feature of the program was the fact that for the first time a President of the U.S. spoke from the historic site where the foundation was laid for our American heritage of Constitutional Liberty. I his observance was important Decause it called national attention *o the fact that Virginia declared her own independence and hauled down the British flag at Williamsburg fifty days before the Declaration of Independence was adopted at Philadelphia and in that intervening period, Virginia continued to lead the way by approving George Mason’s Declaration of Rights, which became the basis for the Bill of Rights in the Federal Constitution; adopting a Plan of Government, which was the first successful State Constitution and a model for the Federal Constitution, and setting up an independent State government with Patrick Henry as governor. The Williamsburg ceremony served also to recall the part that six famous Lee brothers played in the birth of a On STRASBURG ROAD FRONT ROYAL THURS.-FRI., MAY 21 - 22 ANN BLYTH DAVID FARRAR —in— “THE GOLDEN HORDE” OF GENGHIS KHAN (Color by Technicolor) SATURDAY, MAY 23 WILLIAM POWELL JULIA ADAMS * THE TREASURE OF LOST CANYON” (Color by Technicolor), ~SUN.-MON., MAY 24 - 25 JOEL McCREA — in — “CATTLE DRIVE” (In Technicolor) TUES.-WED., MAY 26 - 27 BETTY HUTTON FRED ASTAIRE —in— “LETS DANCE” new nation. The greatest orator of the six - Richard Henry Lee - offered in the Continental Congress the resolution adopted on July 2, 1776 to declare the indepenlence of the Colonies. As author of the resolution Lee was entitled to be appointed chairman of the committee to draft it but partisan politics in the Virginia delegation shoved him aside in favor of Jefferson. Jefferson modestly proposed that Jefferson do it 'because, “You are a Virginian, and a Virginian ought to appear at the head of this business. Virginians must accept with responsibility, as well as view with pride, this tribute to the accomplishments of their forefathers. The Virginia Resolution for Independence was adopted in 1776 largely because the planter-aristocrats of this colony regarded participation in public affairs as a duty and responsibility as well as a right and privilege. They did riot consider matters of government as things to be left for those seeking personal gain or who had so few affairs of their own to attend to that they had time to spare. Similarly today, the obligation placed on the United States as the leader of the world struggle to preserve individual liberty against the corrosive influence of Communism, can be met only if the most capable citizens of Virginia and other states are willing to recognize their individual responsibiliity. And that responsibility includes the substitution of courage for fear - courage based upo^i the faith that God governs in the affairs of men. CONDUCTS DEVOTIONALS The Rev. J.

H. Lytle, County Agent One of the big problems of our farmers today is that of producing insect-free grain and preventing 'insect, rodent, and bird contamination of this grain in storage. Yet it is largely the farmers responsibility to deliver to the millers and grain dealers a higher quality grain before much further progress can be made in supplying consumers with contamination-free meal, flour and processed cereal foods. Recently the senate committee on Agriculture and Forestry concluded hearings on the grain sanitation program of the Food and Drug Administration. This group had announced previously that proposed regulations with respect to insect in-, festations in grain would become effective July 1, 1953. The rodent control phase of the Agency’s program has been in effect for about a year Since last fall they have seized 30 car loads of wheat in interstate commerce because of rodent contamination alone. Regardless of what action is finally taken with respect to the proposed regulations the Extension Service proposes to continue its educational program for clean grain. Loss of stored grains due to insects, birds or rodent contamination is an economic drain on the producer.

We can go from the sublime to the ridiculous—or you can pick your own adjective. On last Saturday night the citizens of the county who, shall we say, have had opportunities to learn the better ways of living, met together and enjoyed a full-dress evening’s entertainment. The following evening, the Sabbath, a bunch of boys gathered in a community when there were two very ill citizens, some elderly people, and two church services, and proceded to entertain themselves by shooting off firecrackers. Meanwhile, on both evenings aforementioned, some of the rest of the citizens went to bed early, glad to rest after a hard day’s work.

The shock of the machinery was lessened and he had more strength for his work. Other fellows in the shop noticed the mat, thought it was a fine idea and whenever he would leave the machine they’d come and snitch his mat. ^So, he improved the mat idea.

Before long, the “rubber mat- man” was very busy cutting out rubber heels tor his shop mates. The man’s name was O'Sullivan. Now, these rubber heels are made by thousands. The little idea developed into a great industry that has made life easier for thousands of men and women and made a fortune for the man who first had the idea. This story of O’Sullivan has a moral: the next time you get an idea, don’t let people discourage you from carrying it through.

And the weeks it took to can and preserve enough food to last the winter! ** Our mothers demanded relief from these countless hours of kitchen drudgery. So, American business put its resources to work: The result, as everyone knows, was a revolution in housekeeping. It really began when the American Can Company perfected the modem tin can. Constant improvement in design and manufacture of containers made it possible to put foods and beverages of every kind on your table, regardless of season. For the modem wife and mother the can has made simpler and shorter the job of feeding her family. Best of all, she has many more hours to relax and enjoy herself. Many other good things come from can-making and can-using activities. Thousands of well-paid jobs—many of them right here in Virginia—have been created. Farmers have found a stable market and higher prices for their larger, better crops. Whole new businesses have been able to *et started. Your desire for more and more hours of leisure is one of the incentives that make the 35,000 people of Canco strive so hard to help you take it easier than Grandma. Constantly satisfying your needs is a big part of what businesses such as ours do to help make America a wonderful country to live and work and relax in.

Nothing else you buy provides greater benefit, or contains greater value, than does prescribed medicine. Far from being a burdensome addition to the cost of illness, a prescription actually lessens the cost by shortening the duration of the illness and speeding the return to work. Illnesses which once meant weeks — and sometimes months — of convalescence now yield in a matter of days to treatment with the “miracle” drugs. Even if you could put a price upon a thing so priceless as your health, this alone would demonstrate that prescribed medicine is the biggest bargain for the money.

National Heme Demonstration Week was May 3-3, with a theme of “Today’s Home Builds Tomorrow’s World.” In the fiftieth anniversary year, it is recalled that S. A. Knapp, first director of Extension, realized. the importance of the home. It was he who said. “The home eventually controls the viewpoint of a- man; and you may do all that you are a mind to in schools, but unless you reach and get hold of that home and change its conditions, you are nullifying the uplift of the schools. We are reach- ing for the home.” To emphasize the importance of the home and how the home demonstration work has helped in the homes, Mrs. Lily Barber, Mrs. B. Gentry, Mrs. Jessie Rowzie, and 'Mrs, C. R. Hite have expressed their views in letters. Home Maker’s Creed A* Homemakers, we will strive to: Have our organization foster the highest ideals in home* church, school, and public life. Have our homes reach out in service to the communities and help unite the people. Have co-operation and progress the leading forces in our communities. Study the best ways to do everyday work, that we may find joy in common tasks .well done. Be kind beyond the standards of charity; avoid thoughts and words that condemn; be more thoughtful than love requires; maintain the highest ideals of Christian life. During National Home Demonstration Club week this year we looked carefully at our creed, which we repeat at each meeting. It is no small task to strive to have our club foster the highest ideals in our homes, for there it is the task of the individual member. As our homes live up to these ideals, the church, school and public life also improve. Our homes must reach out in service to the communities, for we are ever learning new methods and skills that make our lives more pleasant, and this we must share. Every homemaker knows the value of co-operation, and progress in the home and wishes to make her commcnity better as her home improves’. As the community improves, so does the state and nation and the world. Citizenship and repsonsibiTity are stressed, that our influence may be felt in government, and that progress may be made. World friendship is fostered by the annual collection of “pennies for friendship’' and letters to and from home makers in other countries. Methods to make every day work seem lighter, crafts to beautify the home and stimulate creative talent make the lives of club members richer and more comfortable. The last but far from least aspect of our creed challenges us to our very best living. How often we need to remember to be kind beyond the standards of charity!

SAVED FROM THE FLAMES or SHE WAS ALWAYS TIED DOWN a one act drama with a happy ending “Save me, please save me,” cries Mrs. Housewife. “I’m always tied down to my hot, old fashioned kitchen, cooking meals for my hungry family.” To the rescue speeds Reddy Kilowatt, the idol of millions pf modern housewives. First Reddy disposes of that villian, Mr. Flame, so Mrs. Housewife never again has to wash smoke and soot out of her curtains or off her walls. Next, Reddy installs his speedy, economical electric range. Mrs. Housewife now finds she can put the food in the oven, set the controls and leave the kitchen—which, by the way, is now always fresh and cool because there’s no escaping heat from the cooking surfaces. Long hours of cooking and kitchen cleaning out* of the way, Mrs. Housewife now has many more hours for leisure or other household chores. The curtain falls as Mrs. Housewife’s electric range cooks the foods quickly, economically, deliciously. stt m Miw electric Musts mow at uictric aphiamce dealers or NORTHERN VIRGINIA POWER CO.

Much love in our hearts will enable us to be more thoughtful, not only of other people and their rights, but of all great things, including the highest ideals of Christian life. If we really think on these things, our club can be a positive force in our homes, communities, and country. MRS. BARBARA GENTRY Knowledge Is Help We as Homemakers are faced with tne every day task of preparing three meals each day; keeping our homes clean; and keeping our families well and happy. It takes good planning and the knowledge of the best ways to do each task; as well as how to spend your money wisely, so you can have fun and time for recreation. It is through the Home Demon- * strati on agent and the staff at Blacksburg that we can get this help. Theey are always ready and willing to do all they can to help solve the homemaker’s problems. A good breakfast is a good start for the day. We had a very interesting demonstration on “Better Breakfasts’’ and a wholesome breakfast for growing children was stressed. We were shown that you can broil bacon instead of instead of always frying it for a change. The agent suggested different ways to vary a nourishing breakfast. Our eyes are very valuable. To keep our eyes good, we need the right light in the right place. We enjoyed an educational movie demonstrating the correct position for the light. This lighting demonstration led to wiring and repairing lamps and making lamp shades. A convenient, well- planned, step-saving kitchen is a joy forever. Just call on your home agent and she can help you with any problem you have in your kitchen. In our club we used the living room as our project. We studied the different wall finishes, suitable draperies, rugs, how to sand and refinish floors, and arrange the furniture to the best advantage. Some of us are partial to the craft demonstrations. We have hammered, etched, and stenciled trays, etched glass, stenciled cloth, re-seated chairs and refinished furniture. After our demonstrations we always enjoy the social side of our meetings. The home of today builds the world of tomorrow. We need all the help we can get to work toward this goal. MRS. C. R. HITE Agent Gets A Piece of Advice Miss Fuss has asked me to give an account of what the Home Demonstration Agent has meant to me personally. It would require too much time and space in our county paper if I attempted to enumerate everything. But we have had from one dish meals to making trays and upholstering furniture.

I have heard of clubs who have less strenuous work to do, for instance, one lady saved up an apron full of her husband’s socks and carried them to the club in order to get them darned. Miss Fuss might get a clue from this as I recall no less than three of Rappahannock’s agents who got husbands from the county. Perhaps they did not put that demonstration on until after they captured their husbands, but I think it a good one. MRS. LILY BARBER H-D Work Shows Progress The Home Demonstration work means a great deal to Rappahannock County. The agents are so anxious and willing to go into homes and show one how to do anything they need help with, besides doing every thing possible in club rrteetings to help the members. The work is progressing nicely, many living rooms and kitchens are improved, gardens landscaped, old furnituree refinished i and re-upholstered, many chairs and stools reseate.d, oil lamps electrified, new electric lamps made, also many slip covers and rugs made, re-styling hats, and learning many crafts, also freezing, canning and cooking foods. We have been on several garden tours, a sight-seeing trip to Washington, D.C., and given picnics for the school children. Our clubs are well scattered and reach into many homes. MRS. JESSIE H.
