Rappahannock News, July 30, 1953

* IUcWnd-19 VOLUME 4—NUMBER 39 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY MORNIG, JULY 30, 1933 $2.00 PER YEAR Old Hollow Gean-Up Progresses If you have some children who have “swimming on the brain" or if you’re an eager beaver “this warmish weather” for the sport yourself, you have no doubt noticed the results of the Old Hollow Clean-Up program sponsored by Mrs. L. J. Kilby. Even though the pool has been made much safer and more usable by the improver rnents there is still much work left to bring the pool up to its potentials. Numerous persons have donated both labor and money toward the Old Hollow project during the 1953 season. Funds have been received from the following: Rev. and Mrs. A. Paul Thompson, $5; Mr. and Mrs. C. E. ... Dodson, $3; Miss Ebba Hitt, $3 ; Mr. and Mrs. Jack Weaver, $3; and Miss Mary Sue Atkins, $1. In addition to this, $16.40 was raised by Jtaking a collection for “Old Hoi— low” at. a 4th of July party for the children and young people of Sperryvile at the home of Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Kilby. This collection represents the donations of between 65 and 70 children. Work done this year includes bulldozer work on the pool and banks by Ralph Pullen directed by Mrs. L. J. Kilby and Mr. Camp, area water safety director for the Red Cross, who happened to arrive on the scene as work was in progress. S. E. Hening has erected additional benches between trees and joined Mrs. Kilby and Bobby Stuart in cementing stones for a fireplace^ Poison ivy and other weed pests were sprayed last week with a week-killer. The work Is expected to continue for some time. CpL William L Ramey Cited For Meritorious Action CpI. William L. Ramey, “Bin/’ to his Rappahannock friends, was highly praised in a letter of appreciation from Major Sam Almon to his Com- manding Officer at MacDill Air Force Base, Florida, on June 4. The citation reads as follows; On May 22, 1953 I was flying as pilot on the Second Air Force Courier on a C-47 type aircraft. A/2c William L. Ramey, AF 13387055, 809th Operations Squadron, was the engineer. It was necessary to feather the right engine at an altitude of 700 feet after take off from Brookley Air Force Base, Mobile, Alabama. Norma single engine procedure was accomplished. After turning on the approach and trying to put the landing gear down, it , became apparent that the hydraulic pump on the left engine was either malfunctioning or completely inoperative. The gear was hanging down and I could neither lock it down nor pull ' it up. A/2c Ramey changed the \ hydraulic pump selector several times but could not get any hydraulic pressure. V, I successfully attempted a single r engine go-around procedure and tried to make co-pilot understand that the right engine should be started. I instructed A/2c Ramey to start the engine, which he did immediately. ' Hydraulic pressure came up when the engine started and a successful landing was made. A/2c Ramey acted with remarkable coolness and dispatch during the entire emergency. It is unusual to find an individual so young and with such * little experience, who can keep, his I head so well during an emergency. Airman Ramey's quick action and understanding of the problem undoubtedly saved the arcraft and possibly injury, if not the lives, of the crew and seven passengers aboard. I would like to express my appreciation to Airman Ramey for the presence of mind he displayed, and to state that I would be proud to have ^ him; as my engineer on any flight at _ any tune., -County Horae ^Demonstration jFNtWS By Elizabeth Fuss Wednesday, August 5—Washington H.

Drought reports are predicted as follows; (for Rappahannock county) — tjorn—early corn yields reduced an estimate of 50 per cent. Late corn stunted, possibly will recover if soaking rains come now. Hay—second cuttings light, possibly one-fourth to one-half normal yield. Many farmers have ibeen forced to turn livestock in ■hay helds for pasturage. Pastures—at hest, only 25 per cent. Pastures stocked to normal carrying capacity practically useless. Those lightly stocked may hold out a week longer.

Cautions Directed On Water Shortage Citizens of Washington are cautioned to conserve water until a rain can restore the supply to its regular abundance. According to J. Rodes Brown, in charge of the water system of Washington, it was necessary some days ago to start using the pump on the artesian well. Admitting the hard water from the the well is not quite so pleasant as the soft spring water, Jkfr. Brown said, “ At least, it’s wet, and with this dry spell we can be thankful the shortage is no worse.” Caution says there is to be no more washing of cars, watering of lawsn, or other unnecessary use of water until the present dry season is broken.

Co-op Hospital Plans Include Rappahannock T ’ s Rappahannock County has been invited to join a group of other, counties in this region to plan the building of a cooperative hospital for the aged and chronically ill. The location of the hospital has not as yet been determinedbut Fredercksburg and Bowl-._’ ing Green have been suggested as being centrally located and accessible to medical and domestic staff. The one floor rambling type institution! would be open to those who could afford to pay as well as to the indigent. ' The chronically ill, the convalescent, and the aged from participating counties would be offered care at a per day. cost of $2.25 to $2.50, which is "well below the cost of a reputable nursing home or hospital. A group of about eighteen counties has been asked to participate. Financing will follow the plan used successfully by the Patrick Henry Hospital in Warwick County. There will be an initial contribution by each county through an appropriation by the Board of Supervisors as well as contributions from churches, organizations, industrial plants, businesses and private individuals. Tentative plans are for a 100 bed hospiital at an approximate cost of $2000 per bed. Mrs. C. E. Johnson Jr., chairman of the County Welfare Board, Mrs. Frances Thornton, Public Health Nurse, and the Rev. A. Paul Thompson have volunteered to act as a steering committee to make plans for a county-wide meeting to find out v if the citizens of Rappahannock Cot are interested in joining this group. This meeting will be held the last week in August. Watch your paper for announcement of the exact date.

P. Slaughter has been cited with many expressions of thanks from the parents of children who are enjoying the use of the swimming pool at“Meadowbrook” while they receive swimming instructions. Mrs. Slaughter was most kind in - allowing her pool to be used and, as might be expected, she’s had the customery trouble that comes when private property is turned over to public use. Some people seemed to think just because the lady was nice enough to allow swimming classes to be held (at stated hours on stated days) that the pool had become public property. They failed to realize that a private swimming pool was private property. They failed to realize that a private swimming pool _was private property, and it’s the usual thing for a fellow to wait for an invitation before barging into someone’s home. The children are trying to show their appreciation to Mrs. Slaughter for her kindness in lending the pool for the swimming classes. They are trying to pass the word around that the pool is for the use of the classes only and at all other times it is private property'. wtHuiaiiiHHiuiiMmimiuiMfiii 'The Time Hat Come/ the Walras said ...

The firemen are planning a —Tig carnival at Washington, and nothing (unless it*might be a planned Baptist or Methodist Sunday School pichic) is bound to bring rain quicker. The only regret is that we didn’t think to ask the firemen to plan the carnival aljout a month ago—but you know how men are: they have to take their time about deciding such things; they never thought how important it is to have the rain. r o o o A most informative book, given me by a friend, gives bits of history for . each day in the year. As an example, the little book says that on this day in 1930 the Prince of Wales flew to Belgium, and President Hoover went to a baseball game. It also says that Dr. Davidson Black announced the discovery of the second Peking Man Pitts Park THEATRE Front Royal, Virginia THURSDAY, JULY 30 ROSALIND RUSSELL PAUL DOUGLAS “NEVER WAVE AT A WAC” FRf^AT., JULY 31-AUG.l JANE RUSSELL GEORGE BRENT — in — “MONTANA BELLE” (In Trueolor)51 SUN.-MON., AUG. 2 - 3 fMITZI GAYNOR DAVID WAYNE —in— “The I-DON’T-CARE GIRL” (Color by Technicolor) TUES. - WED. - THURS.

(Don’t ask me how I know what you’ll be told “if you inquire”.) o o o If you fall asleep while sun-bathing, you have my deepest sympathy. I belong to the cult who agrees with that little saying about “mad dogsand Englishmen.” At a tender age (both in number of years and condition of hide) I went to the beach. It was a cloudy day and a cool wind was blowing. We went swimming, we went boating— and since there was little sun, we thought not of the consequences. When the sharp wind hit, we would roll into the water and warm up (thereby accomplishing what was known as “basting” to a cook). At the end of the day I was well done. The next three days and. nights were sleepless. I sat on that portion of my anatomy which faced south when I faced north; I could sleep on the north-facing side, provded I hung arms -and chin over sides and end of the bed. Many years have slipped by since that date. My memory’s good. When I see these sun-worshippers, I cringe; I wish I might tell them what I learned so sadly—hut positively. They wouldn’t listen. They, too, must learn the hard way. They tell me that man has conquered the air, the water, and the earth, but there are three things he’ll never defeat: the horses, John Barleycorn, and Old Sol. o o o Not so long ago a complaint was mailed to Rappahannock News from a former county citizen, w'hose body is out of the county, but evidently her heart remains in the mountains. She objected when the counties of Richmond, Lancaster, Northumberland, and Westmoreland crowned a queen “Miss Rappahannock” at some local festivities. Of course, we know they picked up the name from the river and they probably didn’t give the little county a thought. I agree with the former citizen; I’m inclined to think we have an exclusive right to use the name—'but then, come to think of it, suppose they had to use the name of just any river or creek that ran through their territory? “Miss Muddy Run” wouldn’t sound very queenly, or maybe "Miss Turtle 'Creek” or “Miss Blackwater Creek” drive-in THEATRE On STRASBURG ROAD FRONT ROYAL THURSDAY, JULY 30 JOHN LUND JEFF CHANDLER v —in— “THE BATTLE AT APACHE PASS” (Color by Technicolor) FRI.-SAT., JULY 31-AUG. 1 JOSEPH COTTEN SHELLEY WINTERS SCOTT BRADY — in — “UNTAMED FRONTIER” (Color by Technicolor) SUNwMON., AUG. 2 - 3 TONY CURTIS PIPER LAURIE —in— “THE PRINCE WHO WAS A THIEF” .
