VOLUME 4—NUMBER 33 _WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE" 18, 1953 $2.00 PER YEAR , Miller Bros. VMI Captains I Seldom have two brothers been |cadet captains at Virginia Military Institute, hut G. Tyler Miller, Jr., 21, and William W. Miller, 19, sons of l Madison College President G. Tyler Miller, himself a V.M.I. graduate, I enjoy this distinction. | V.M.I. men say it is indeed a djs[ tinction because there are but 13 f captains in the corps of 800 cadets, r and rarely in the Institute’s 114 yearslias a brother followed another as a captain. G. Tyler Miller, Jr., was graduated June^O, with a degree of B. S. in Chemistry. He was captain of the | Band Company. ^ ^ I William W. Miller completed his p second class (Junior) year June 8, and was promoted from supply sergeant of the Band Company to its captaia G. Tyler Miller Jr., was business . manager of the cadet’s monthly maga{ zine, “The Turnout,” and his brother | William succeeded him in this position. The elder brother was president of the noted V.M.I. Glee Club. The younger brother did.not succeed as president, but, for next year, has been elected the Glee Club’s business manager. G. Tyler Miller, Jr., was an honor student in chemistry and has been awarded a graduate assistantship in chemistry at the University of Vir: ginia for two years' study toward a 1 Master’s degree. This assistantship is worth $1,000 a year in cash, plus tuition charges worth another $500 yearly. .: ; _i Upon graduation, G. Tyler Miller, Jr., was commissioned a second lieu*tenant in the U. S. Army Reserve, but will not have to serve his two years j of active Army duty until after completion of work for his Master’s de| gree. On June 15, he reports at the Viscose Corporation's c h £"m i cal laboratory, Front Royal, Va., to work there until the University at Charlottesville starts its Fall term in .September. William W. Miller the past year | was designed an honor student and a distinguished military student. He is | taking a pre-medical course at V.M.I., land received the Phlip H. Killey [ Award for highest academic stand[ ing among second classmen (juniors) ? in pre-medical work. He is a member of the R.O.T.C. and on June 20/ will report at Fort Knox, Kentucky for six weeks’ special training in the Armored Services. ^ * Mai) X. Fincham Joins Flint Hill Faculty (Reprint from Flint Hill News) Miss Mary K. Fincham has signed her contract to teach at Flint Hill t School next year. There will be 5 ! rooms' at the school next year instead ^ of 4. Miss Fincham will teach the 4th ^and 5th grades. Mrs. Edmonds will teach the 1st grade. Mrs. Johnson will peach the 6th.

Lyne County Agent ^iiiHMiiiiiiniiiiiMiiiiHiMiiiMiiuiininiuiiiiuiiiiiniiii ' Don’t-forget that Saturday, June 20, is the final date set for home owners to request a detailed Farm and Home Water' supply survey. This closing date was necessary in order to allow time to organize and allocate the surveys to the teams coming to the county the latter part of the month from the In-Service-Train - ing School of Health Department Sanitation Officers now in session at Orange. At the conclusion of this school the men attending will then come to Rappahannock the latter part of the month to make the surveys without charge or obligation to those requesting it. As of last Monday morning sur- Vey requests had been received from Jos. D. Keyser, Annie Turner, W. A. - Miller, Milton Sisk, Henry Sisk, F. R. Taylor, Fred -Driebus, Andrew Copperthite, Elmer Jenkins, Robt. J. Boyd, James Bennett, and John B. Updike. Anyone who owns a home in Rappahannock and wants a survey but did not receive a card, call Washington-2231 to let your wants ibe known. Each person who requests a survey should try to decide where and for what purpose the water is to be used prior to the home visit by the survey team. Also they should determine the flow of water from the spring in gallons per ?. minute. In the event an existing well is to be used, pump it off by i hand and measure the flow, as some wells that have furnished an abundant supply under a pump operated by hand may not. afford sufficient flow under -a pressure water system, f * ^ -^..... t a - Mr. Weatherford, the state bee inspector, was in the county last week and visited several apiaries with your county agent. While I'm pleased to announce Mr. Weatherford found no-foul brood in Rappahannock, many of the hives and swarms inspected were in a neglected state resulting in no income from the bees except the great value they do in pollinization. » “Know-How” in bee management pays off. In 19‘52 one man with 194 swarms and a $2000 investment sold $3,000 in hone and rented the swarms at $6.00 each to orchardists for pollinization in addition. That sort of a return is what we all like and can get if we’ll try to improve our knowledge of how to handle bees and then do the job right. While my knowledge of bees is scant, I stand ready to help any one I can. Also, Ben Weddle, our part-time assistant, had a course in Bee Keeping while at V.P.I., which included both class room instruction and lab work with the bees themselves. There is a good new bulletin on Bee Management available at the office for anyone wanting one. We hope to at least take a car load of bee keepers to this _ short course as reports on those held in the past have been highly endorsed by both the professional and amateur bee keeper. . Sound off if you want to go. j Then, too . . . what’s better eating than hot buttered biscuit with honey and plenty of sweet •milk? Be danged if I know, unless it’s corn pone, cress salad cooked with hog jowl, and a tall glass of fresh cold buttermilk. I’ll settle for either any time! (Ed. Note: Shut up, Bill Lynej what are you trying to do? Get all the readers to drooling? Just from reading now I’m so hungry I’m slobbering.

RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING Washington, Rappahannock County Virginia DIAL WASHINGTON 2851 LUCY CATHERINE BOWIE Publisher Entered a§ second-class mail matter at the post office at Washington, Virginia SUBSCRIPTION: (in advance) $2.00 a year Why No Football? It’s more than just talk now: “Why can’t we have high school, football ?” Some practical suggestions are goming forward and fathers and interested football fans are beginning to formulate plans for the county high school to have a football team next season. With Nick Cascio, the school coach, agreeing to return next year, the promise of a football team seems sure. The coach agrees with the fathers ami the football fans; it can be done. The equipment is not nearly as expensive as was thought, for investigation shows that high schools and colleges (where money is more plentiful) are constantly replacing uniforms. Sometimes they decide to buy a new color; the old uniforms are still good and these can be purchased very reasonably. It’s going to be work and pulling together. Everyone who is interested, is asked here and now to pull out the wallet and count the change. Do you have enough to spare to maybe buy half of one boy’s uniform? Would you be willing to work a couple of hours some afternoon to help get a football field cleared of brush? If you have any suggestions toward getting this football team started, please let them be known. The county paper would welcome letters expressing opinions. -Call some of your football-fan-friends and discuss the business with them; see what they think, and then let the opinions be known. The Ladies-God Bless ‘Em! The residents of the First Washington—jail 245 of them—can point with pride to one job well done by the Ladies of the Council. The town playground, formerly an eye-sore of thigh-high weeds and brush, is now a beautiful green carpet, carefully cut, and a definite asset to the town. Next door to the print shop, we have ample opportunity to observe how children of the town enjoy the playground, and how tourists stop to have lunch. (In fact, the playground looks so nice we are DRIVE-IN THEATRE On STRASBURG ROAD FRONT ROYAL THURS.-FRL, JUNE 18 - 19 (DOUBLE FEATURE) JEAN PARKER JOHN ARCHER —in— “HI, NEIGHBOR” —Hit No. 2JOHNNY WEISMULLER —in— JUNGLE JIM In The Forbidden Land SATURDAY, JUNE 20 « JOHN HALL — in — “BRAVE WARRIOR” (Color by Technicolor) SUN.-MON., JUNE 21-22 HURT LANCASTER — in — “TEN TALL MEN” (Color by Technicolor) TUES.-WED., JUNE 23 - 24 “OPERATION SECRET” beginning to be ashamed of our untidy premises adjoining, and we hope to improve the looks of our own yard.) The ladies can take full credit for engineering the piece of improvement. They thought of it; they asked the owner to let them have the use of the property; they got someone to donate the equipment; and they are keeping the lawn motoed and clean. Of course, the story has a few unhappy moments, but these are expected. A couple of weeks ago, some half-grown young people were swinging in the baby-children’s swings and had to be asked to not break up the equipment. .They got mad, of. course, but such little affairs occur with public property; someone will sooner or later abuse the privileges. Taking it all and all, it has been one of the most orderly and happy playgrounds to be found. During the summer you will find a neighboring school teacher voluntarily on hand to keep little tykes in order. Definitely, the playground is a good _thing. The ladies of the town council should be able to take any amount of teasing and fun-poking that comes their way; the satisfaction derived from this excellent job should compensate them well for the unhappy moments that come with their job. It’s Good To Hear Our President’s Sunday speech about freedom—and hitting at the book burners—sounded like good-olddown-to-earth American patriotism of the variety we used to study in School text books.

C. As Viewed By Yonr Senator, A. Willis Robertson SUPREME COURT QUESTIONS WARN OF SCHOOL PROBLEM Because of the splendid arguments presented to the Supreme Court last year by that great constitutional lawyer, John W. Davis, and several State Attorneys General, including J. Lindsay Almond, Jr. of Virginia, I was confident that the Court would uphold State school segregation laws. I became concerned last week, however, when the Court announced that before deciding the pending school segregation case it wanted to hear further argument on whether the Congress which submitted the Fourteenth (equal rights) Amendment and the State Legislatures and Conventions which ratified the Amendment believed it would abolish segregation in the schools. The Court also asked whether the framers of this Amendment believed Congress could use it snear at everything. Guilt is acknowledged in this corner, also. The first thought that passed through the head was: sounds like the journalism teacher back in under-graduate school, when he said there is never any trouble filling editorial columns; if there is no real material at hand, you are always safe with some righteous, holier-than-thou preaching; i* makes the ladies of the churches happy and sounds pious. _That our* President was sincere-^ and right—is beyond question. Censorship can’t work in the America we know. On the theory of “forbidden fruits,” the people will want to know why a certain book shouldn’t be read. Leave the book on the public book shelves and its communistic teachings will be the object of scorn. Where some of us may not be convinced that our President is .the greatest the country has ever known, we beamed with pride at his declaration of freedom and the implied denunciation of what is termed “McCarthyism.” It begins to look like a shame that the President can’t bite some of his associates; perhaps they would catch his disease of commonsense and American freedom.

Previously I had felt those questions were fully and adequately answered by the arguments of Davis and the others who pointed out that after the adoption of the Amendment Congress had passed a law authorizing segregation in the District of Columbia and several states which voted to ratify the Amendment passed school segregation laws. Even the religious organizations which had •sponsored the Fourteenth Amendment later established segregated schools for negroes in the South. 1 he fact that the Court has asked these questions is significant, however, especially since this was done on the same day that a decision was given upholding a “forgotten” law which makes it a criminal offense for restaurants in the District of Columbia to maintain racial barriers. Virginia and other southern states have been doing everything within their financial power to comply with a previous decision of the Supreme Court requiring that equal facilities and opportunities for education be made available for all, regardless of race. But, if the Court goes further and declares that the facilities can-' not be equal if they are separate and that segregation in the public schools must end, I fear that under the guise of promoting equal opportunity for the colored people of the Southsir witt^do^thenr^ ifii^arable harm. Colored leaders in Virginia and generally throughout the South realize that 90 per cent or more of the cost of the public schools is paid by white people although in twenty Virginia counties and in some whole states there are as many colored pupils as there are white.

Charge Accounts Invited TO The jobs that come in cans The American Can Company hasn’t yet worked out a practical container for packing jobs and economic security. We make cans—we do no canning. But, by making better cans, we have actually created job opportunities in many different fields. All kinds of things—foods and beverages, paints and varnishes, tobacco and teqnis balls—keep better, are more convenient and easier to use when they are - packed in the right kind of container. So, markets for these products expand. Thousands of new, well-paid jobs open up, and incomes climb. In fact, whole new businesses have been able to get started because a suitable can was developed to hold a product. You probably know of manufacturing plants right in Virginia that owe their existence to the industry. Creating new jobs is only one example of what America has accomplished in our free, competitive way of doing business. People working together, playing together and living together bring social and economic gains to all. And such teamwork between our people and our business system promises greater prosperity and more jobs for our future. # American Can Company CONTAINERS ... to help people live better Mr. and Mrs. W.
