r £961,$ ld3S VOLUME 4 — NUMBER 46 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 17, 1953 ■ . Wheat Causing Interest In PMA Vote "Much interest is being expressed locally in the annual PMA committeeman elections to held a week from Friday,” County PMA Chairman Barksdale said yesterday. “It may be due to the wheat situation.” f He clarified the remark by stating that a large number of farmers are attaching special importance to the marketing quota and price support 'programs on wheat in view of the present and possible continued low market price on wheat due to the large national surplus. PMA committtee adminster both programs. Farmers voted for high level wheat price supports last month when they endorsed a 1954 wheat quota program by an 87 per cent majority. Now they have a chance to say who runs the program in each county. It’s democracy at its best.” In additon, Mr. Barksdale said that he expected “less” flexbility in the 1954 Agricultural Conservation Program which may require more exacting adminstration than in other years. However, he made it clear that provisions of the conservation program are yet to be announced. Voting on September 25 will be by secret ballot, as usual, and polls in Rappahannock County will be located in the places below, all open from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. Woodville, Flint Hill, Washington, Sperryville, and Amissville.

CONFEDERATE MEMORIAL IS REPAIRED * The Confederate Memorial in the courthouse . yard -recently underwent a general repair and cleaning. Learning that it was fast becoming a hazard to the children who played around it, the U.D.C. of Culpeper appropriated funds for its repair. The 'balance was 'subscribed by interested local citizens. The rifles were replaced by a slab of marble and several parts in danger of Jailing were removed. The marble was cleaned to a pure whiteness. Mr. Tucker of Huntngton, West Va., and G. M. Slaughter of Charleston, West Va., visited A. J. Slaughter on Wednesday, September 9. Mr. Slaughter, a native of Rappahannock, left the county 52 years ago and has lived in West Virginia since that time. It has been five years since he has visited his brother in the county. NEED HAY? By the time this gets in print I expect to have prices and description of hay that is for sale by four Augusta farmers. Every known source is being investigated, however, should any reader have any info on availability of hay let us know so we will be in better position to help our Rappahannock farmers locate winter feed. * * * I’m told telephone charges are based on the distance of the home from the switchboard because of the cost to the utility company in constructing the line. Of course, I’m no utility expert, however, this looks odd to me. I’ve always felt a man paid for service or quality. Our farmers, generally speaking, are on party lines. Party lines certainly afford less service. We are told the farmer is now feeding 15 city dwellers yet his brother in the city pays less for his telephone service simply because his country kin is out there where he can grow the food while he is close to the switch board. Which gests the most service from his telephone? Rates have gone up all over but I have yet to see any improvement in Rappahannock’s telephone service since July 1946 other than the dial system. To try and make a telephone call from Washington to Sperryvlle or vice versa is for the most part exasperating. How about improving , the service and having a common rate to every one? LITTER OF NINETEEN PIGS Rasmus Singleton, Sperryville, reports his sow farrowed a total of nineteen pigs on Monday of this week, To quote Mr. Singleton; “I don’t know whether this is a record or not but it is certainly a record as far as my farm is concerned.” Eighteen of the pigs were born alive and persumably, one was mashed by the mother ^hich no doubt must have been disturbed over having so many squealing pigs around looking to her for nourishment; It* seems I’ve heard of a litter of 22$$jng farrowed at the Beltsville Swine Experiment farm, however, IQ in one litter is news wherever such might occur. Arthur L. Anderson in his book, “Swine Enterprises’’ states the average pig weighs 2.5 lbs. at birth and the average litter is from 8 to 9 pigs. Also he reports on a study where twenty-one sows in pig were slaughtered and examined. This examination reveals an average of 18 eggs shed, the number of normal young was 12, the number of degenerate young was 2; the remaining 4 were not found, either because of non-fertilization or early de generation. Anderson further states the limit of profitable prolificacy to be 11 to 13 pigs per litter and apparently Mr. Singleton is in the know and agrees with Mr. Anderson. It is reported that he told the Missus she could have all of the pigs above 12 in number. Then too the proud or bewildered mother has but 14 plates set at her table! CARS COLLIDE (as reported by the Flint Hill News) On Tuesday afternoon, September 1 at about 4 p.m., a car from Michigan collided with the car belonging to Mrs. Claude Cook, who was driving, at the lane that goes to Carson Lillard’s house. Mrs. Cook was turning into the ane when the car from Michigan skidded into Mrs. Cook’s back fender, which was badly smashed. Both cars were insured, luckily. A flare was put in the middle of the road opposite Mrs. Rust’s house. William Buntin, a state policeman, arrived promptly. 4-H’ers Win At Orange ■ Four Rappahannock 4-H boys exhibited and sold eleven head of hogs at the Orange, Area Market Hog Show and Sale on Sept. 1.

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 i ‘The Time Hoe Come/ 1 1 the Walrus said . . . utaiitMiNin mmmmmmm Tomorrow will be the birthday anniversary of one, the famous Doctor Samuel Johnson. The great lexicographer would be 244 years old if he were still living; fortunately, he isn’t for it’s generally believed the stickler of English usage would have had so many attacks of apoplexy with all this modern butchering of the King’s language that the torture would have given someone excuse to put him out of his misery. Dr. Johnson was no more popular in his time than his famous dictionary is today.. You’ve heard, of course, of the man who said the dictionary was a very interesting book, but didn’t seem to have much of a plot. Then, too, there are always the people who explained that there’s no use trying to use a dictionary, since you have to know how to spell a word before you can find it; and if you already know how to spell it, there’s no use looking up a word. I’m not an authority on the dictionary, myself, having failed to use it as prodigiously as is recommended. The famous Doctor should have lived in Rappahannock where he would have been appreciated. He was somewhat of a character. The tale is told that on one occasion he attended a dinner party attired as was his custom: last week’s breakfast egg on his shirt-front, and several week’s accumulation of body oils un-soaped from his carcass. He overheard one lady whisper to her neighbor, “I just can’t eat next to Dr. Johnon; he s-m-e-l-l-s.” To which the great student of the English language replied, “No, madam; you are in error; you smell, I stink.” You don’t have to think that funny if you don’t want to. Despite politics, you may still have freedom of opinion—provided you keep to yourself the word “loan” used as a verb. I might wish that put me in the class with Samuel Johnson. It doesn’t, o o o Time for reading is a little scarce around these busy fall days, but here’s one; “ ‘Dear Sir: My boy friend has many good qualities, but he seems to have an ugly temper. What shall I do?’ “Take a little dry starch, moisten it with cold water and apply to the injured part. Do this at once, to prevent the air from touching the area. No discoloration should result. Some authorities recommend raw beefsteak.” — ■■■■ — o—o— -©—.— -— The Democratic convention is in Chicago again, but it’s not near as much fun as the time before. Those hot summer nights of television will stick in the mind for many days. Then, too, conditions now are a little different.

I see by the papers that the Republican party is sending carpetbaggers back into the South with a two-fold purpose: to split the Democratic Party and to make the Republican Party respectable. They’ve picked up quite a job if they anticipate success in some quarters on both scores.

I Electricity from an Eg Electric Company \ Electricity from the : Federal Government Two kinds off electricity... Do you know the difference? They seem very much alike. They do the same things. They are produced in the same ways. One is the electricity the federal government produces and distributes. The other, electricity you get from a business-managed electric company. There are big differences between them — differences that directly or indirectly affect you and your family. Here’s what they boil down to... Company Electricity • Its rates are strictly regulated by people cnosen to represent you. • It is available to everyone in the company area without discrimination. • It pays taxes (about 23c out of every dollar you pay for electric service). • It plays a key role in America’s free enterprise system. Government Electricity • Its rates are exempt from normal regulation, • It goes first to certain favored groups. • It pays little or no taxes. • It is a step toward a government power monopoly—and socialism. Tax-paying, business-managed electric companies can provide the electric power America needs. Isn't it extravagant jor the federal government to spend your tax money to, provide it? The answer to that question is important to every taxpayer. That’s why these facts are presented to you. NORTHERN VA. POWER CO. Mr. and Mrs. Fred W. Schaefer spent the week end in Washington, D.

THE HOSPITALITY THAT COMES IN CANS There was a time when the words “gracious living” suggested candlelight on mahogany tables and long hours for Mother in the kitchen getting ready for “company.” Today, with a simple twist of the wrist, Mother can serve company or unexpected guests table-ready canned foods of a freshness and variety that were beyond the dreams of anyone only 50 years ago . . . from lobster bisque and whole pheasant to quick, easy-to-fix “one-dish” meals. And today’s canned foods are less costly, keep indefinitely on your pantry shelves or in your refrigerator without losing vitamins and other nutritional values. Also, today the party is liable to center in the kitchen or on the patio in stead of the dining room. And, whether he is the party chef or simply whipping up the family meal, you’ll often find Dad enjoying a can of cold beer and broiling the canned franks over charcoal in the fireplace. The 35,000 people of Canco are proud of their contribution to modern living in America. Around the clock and around the calendar, we strive to give you increased leisure, informality and freedom. The “housekeeping revolution'’ that began when Canco developed the modem food container is just one of the big changes in our everyday lives that have made the United States such a satisfying place in which to live and work and play.
