So popular has she become in Virginia through her WRVA program, that she was crowned “Queen of the HillBillies," a title given her by Virginia’s former Governor William M. Tuck. Born Mary Arlene Higdon, she was le last of seven children of farm |olks in Keosauqua, Iowa. When she ited John Workman for the first ime, she began the life-long use of le singing voice that was to become famous. The two married right if ter high school at a time when the >30 depression gripped the nation, id when, as Sue puts it, “You could >t buy a job.” ie Workmans eventually got an jrtunity to sing and play the guitar small Iowa station, went on to a cr one. The trail to hillbilly fame lem to Chicago and the “National Dance,” and finally, in 1940, to lond. BRpie got her name during the early IK&ic performances. One morning, announcer, unable to remember HpR^T name of their act, crooked his Ifinger at her and said, “Hey, you you there—Sunshine Sue—that’s what I'll call you. Anyone who can look that bright at this time in the morning deserves to be called Sunshine." In 1935, when the Workmans joined the “National Barn Dance” in Chicago, there were three Sallys already, and so her name became Sunshine Sue. Sue plans eleven Old Dominon Barn Dance programs each week, and serves as mistress of ceremonies for most of them. A unit from the bam dance troupe puts on a Sunshine Sue planned program at various places in Virginia, North Carolina or Maryland several times each week. Sue appears with most of these units. Son Bill, who is 12 years old, and little daughter, Virginia Sue, four years old, come in for a great share of Sue’s attention.

Lyne County Agent The drought, while creating many current hardships, could well spur farmers into progressive action; know what I mean, sure you do, every reader no doubt has heard “necessity is the mother of invention.” The drought has mothered the births of many a trench silo (or snow fence silo) in the county. This type of silo properly constructed has proved most practical and profitable drought or no drought. Just to mention some of those who have either called, come by the office, or stopped your scribe along the by-ways of Rappahannock, or just used their own brains and initiative and gone ahead with construction are: I. L. Parrish, Arthur Woodward, C. J. Miller, Henry Wood, Jock Brown, Clifton Clark, Harry Williams, R. W. Miller, C. E. Marsh, Mrs. W. P. Slaughter, L. L. Voigt, Joe D. Keyser, J. D. Janney, John T. Woodward, Dan Jacobs, and John Davis. Others have come by for info but can’t say whether they have gone ahead or. not. What appeals to me most about a trench silo are the low cost of construction, they can be made permanent ease of filling and feeding out of, and a farmer need not tie up a lot of money in machinery necessary for filling operations! My next wonder is whether or not fewer of our farmers will continue to depend on Lespedeza for their hay. Census shows fifty per cent of our hay tonnage to be Lespedeza. While lespedeza hay properly made is excellent feed it is strictly a one-cutting-a-year-crop. Speaking of maxims ■believe there is one about eggs in one basket. * * * Bill Daughtrey, Acting Director of Extension Service, called Wednesday evening of last week, relative to first hand report on the drought situation in Rappahannock and surrounding counties. Gathered: 1. Governor Battle’s Drought Relief Committee of which Bill is a member was to meet again next day; 2. Rappahannock would be included on the critical list; 3. Possibility of grains being made available through Surplus Commodities Corporation, and 4. Committee trying to get reduced freight rates on hay. Watch your daily as well as this paper regarding further info ths subject. Also hope my brief talks with Park Brinkley at Orange last Tuesday and while at Blacksburg did some good. One thing for sure I do know Bill and Park hold the welfare of Rappahannock farmers close to their hearts. From the Virginia Cooperative Crop Reporting Service, “Virginia: Total liveweight of cattle, calves, hogs and sheep and lambs slaughtered in July was 18% more than in July 1952. The number of cattle slaughtered in July was 58% greater than a year ago; number of calves 50% greater, number of sheep and lambs 37 % greater; and the number of hogs the same as last year. The average weight of cattle and calves slaughtered in July was higher than a year earlier, "but weights of hogs and sheep, lighter. United States: The July output was the same as June but was 16% more than the 1,576 million pounds produced in July 1952.

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 School Begins Rappahannock County High School began the 1953-54 session last Thursday according to schedule and in spite of sizzling heat. New teachers are Mrs. Arlene Wake, Washington, third grade; in the high school department, Miss Jean Brown, Sperryville; Miss Emma Lee McArthur, Greenville, N. C.; James Bettendorf, Lanham, Md.; Alvin Barker, Greenville, S. C., and Fred Hutcherson. Other high school teachers returning for the present session are Mrs. Fisher Burford, Mrs. Mary Hart Winfrey, Mrs. Hazel Corbin, Mrs. Paul Nichols, Mrs. C. B. Johnson, Nick Cascio and H. B. Winfrey. In charge of the first and third grades are Miss Mary Jenkins and Mrs. Jessie Cox. Enrollment on the first day was as folows: 1st grade, 26; second grade, 32; third grade, 31; In the high school in the eighth grade, 84; ninth, 75; tenth, 40; eleventh, 53 and twelfth 30. Total enrollment of whom 282 are in the high school, an increase of forty pupils in the high school enrollment over the same period last year. These' figures are further proof of what many people already know; that whatever the total school enrollment for the county may be, the high school s more crowded than ever. Classrooms in the nearly fifty year-old building were designed for twentyfour to twenty-eight pupils. In several classes, there are more than forty pupils. Gymnasium and auditorium facilities are entirely inadequate, even by scheduling classes in physical education at different periods each day. The auditorium will not seat the enrollment, except by jamming" chairs to the walls and omitting the safety aisles down the center and along the sides. The vocational agriculture building, classroom and shop, was built to accommodate 20 students. This year 45 pupils are taking the courses, with more to come. The luncheon and kitchen, space for which was dug from under the auditorium about eight years ago, are insufficient in area and lighting. The stove is too small for varied menus, and there is no room for a larger stove. The same may be said of the refrigerator. By courtesy of the ice cream company supplying the school, a very limited amount of fresh meat is stored in a section of the ice cream box. ‘4 In the light of these facts, which can be verified by any patron or citizen interested enough in his high school to pay a visit during school •hours, it is remarkable, fortunate and entirely temporary that a faculty was assembled. The pay scale for teachers in Rappahannock County compares not unfavorably with those of several nearby counties, but facilities for teaching—and for learning—are superior in these same counties. And he whole country is calling for teachers. Some years ago, incompliance with state regulations, and at a cost of several thousand dollars, Rappahannock modernized its Jail and its courthouse. So far, and three years after consolidation of the Sperryville and NlMIIHKHiaiMIMIIIIIHMIinillllKimMUmilimHIMHilHf . I i 'The Time hat Come/ \ j the Walrus said ... j •auinimiia fimtiiiiiimii There seem to be two lines of thought concerning Jock’s “Episcopal Beagle.” When the Old-Time Tent Revival services were held next door, the beagle hound sat in the side yard and awaited the opening of the services. When the folk in the tent lifted their voices in song, Jock’s beagle pointed her nose to the sky and howled long, mournful’, and loud. Now, the arguments are two: Had Jock so thoroughly indoctrinated his “Episcopal Beagle” until she was voicing a protest at the Baptist tent meeting; or was Jock betrayed by his “Episcopal Beagle”, who hearing good Baptist music for the first time, was joinWashington high schools, nothing has been done to relieve crowded school conditions.

The next morning it was discovered that they were bride and groom and, evidently, wedding reception refreshments had been a little too potent or else they had imbibed too freely. Reports state that where the newlyweds were hilarious when they entered the county’s free-boardand-lodging accommodations, they were sober enough the next morning.

The conversation had run along the usual lines: children did not study any more-; they played most of the day; we are raising a sissy generation; etc., etc. After a few minutes of such raving, the conversation switched: “oh no, the present day hyper-tension is makchildren tough; they grow up too young." Through the conservation the philosopher sat. Finally he spoke, “H—!” he said, “There isn’t a one in the crowd, past generation or present, who could have survived the winter of 1620 at Plymouth or 1607 at Jamestown!” Another topic of conversation began immediately thereafter.
