Playing leading H roles in the full length-color picture §1 are Redd Harper and Cindy Walker, « 'both professional western stars who' fj| have already made their decision to {§, give their lives and talents to Christ I* ian service. Produced as an experiment, “Mr. || Texas” has amazed religious leaders H and motion picture authorities alike P during its first year of‘showings. At | the film’s preview in Hollywood ; Bowl on October 1, 1951, a record ! throng of 25,000 persons jammed into the huge amphitheater for the largest attendance any motion picture has ever had in this country. During the past year and a half of showings an estimated 4,000,000 persons have seen the film. From this number of viewers, over 100,000 have made decisions to accept the Christian way of life, according to records on file in the Graham film organization’s v Washington, D. C. office. Both figures v indicate new highs in evangelistic circles. The story revolves around the Billy Graham Coliseum in Fort Worth, Texas. To produce the film, an entire motion picture company moved from Hollywood to Texas and made all of the Texas scenes in the vicinity of Fort Worth. The rodeo scenes, some of the most beautiful color photography being seen today, were made at Hardin Simmons University, and feture the world champion Mayo Rodeo Riders, together with the r famous Hardin Simmons Cowboy I Band.

Preliminary reports indicate it will be wise for the feeder purchasing steer calves, or farmers who bought or kept replacement heifers, to worm them using phenothiazine at the rate precribed by the manufacturer. * * * * In case you were not one of the forty-odd livestock producers who attended Operation Big Stretch held last Tuesday, at the Court House, a few copies of the mimeographed materials distributed on ways and means of stretching your winter feed supplies are available at the office for any Rappahannock livestock owner. Call Washington 2231 if you would like for us to send you a copy. * * * * Since sending out suggestions for spraying cattle for lice control to all Rappahannock farmers several tele* phone calls and office. visits have been made by farmers who have found their cattle or calves to' be lousy but, who apparently did not get the mimeographed instructions. We also have a few of these suggestions so call in case you want them. *• Regardless check and re-check your cattle for lice infestation no matter whether you did or did not spray for flies last summer. This may have killed lice then but there have been plenty of opportunities for reinfestation since. Like it or 'not most -cattle—anywhere in Virginia are lousy—the important thing is not to neglect treatment to get rid of 'em. * * * * >• I set and hear of fruit growers who in an efturt to carry out desirable cultural, practices in their orchards clean debris from under their trees, spread nitrogen fertilizer and then distribute poisoned bait. Each practice within itself is fine; * however, Dr. ‘Horsfall,. who is in charge of orchard rodent control research at VPI, advises to treat for mice before the orchard floor is disturbed otherwise the chances are that in cleaning from under the trees you will tend to drive the mice deeper making poisoning operations more difficult. Also Dr. Horsfall states the presence of apples on the floor of the orchard does not reduce the take of poisoned apple bait if bait- . ing is done properly and on days when mice are active. He recommends the placing of zinc phosphaide treated apple cubes and zinc phosphide chufas together in <the bait station. Rappahahnock Supply has zinc phosphide on hand, and directions for preparing and distributing poisoned baits to all purchasers of this poison; directions are also available at this office. W. M. S. MEETING The W. M. S. of the Washington Bapitist Church will meet in the home of Mrs. Charles Reid, Tuesday at 2:30. The discussion at this meeting is to be very important. All those who are interested are invited to attend. - , •. CELEBRATES 9th BIRTHDAY Miss Louise Mae Racer celebrated Her ninth birthday, Friday, November 20. Louise is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David J. Racer. Her guest was James C Racer Sr., and Miss Lois Racer, Thomas B. Reid Receives Purple Heart Medal Master Sergeant Thomas B. Reid, United States Army, has been awarded the Purple Heart for wounds received on June 13, 1953, while engaged in action against an armed enemy near Songnae-Dong, Korea. Sgt. Reid is also the recipient of the Silver Star for gallantry in action. In a notice to Sgt. Reid s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Reid, of Washington, the following account is given: During the early morning hours of 13 June, 1953, Sergeant Reid was the non-commissioned officer in charge o£ a mine- detail which had the assigned mission of laying a mine field on 'the forward slopes of a friendly outpost position in the vicinity of Songnae-dong, Korea. The mine detail was committed as infantry when the friendly infantry unit which was occupying the outpost suffered heavy casualties as a result of enemy action. Sergeant Reid was placed in command of a squad from the detail and was instructed to occupy a position on the right flank of the outpost, then occupied by friendly troops. When he arrived at the friendly position, he found that it had- been overrun by the enemy and that only a few friendly troops remained, the others having been mortally wounded , or rendered casualties. He immediately led his men to the position and engaged the enemy in hand-to-hand combat and was successful in driving them from the position. Although Sergeant Reid_ was wounded during the action, he refused to leave the position^ He quickly reorganized his men, assisted in the evacuation of the wounded and resupply of ammunition. Despite his wound and intense artillery, mortar and small arms fire, he remained in the impact area throughout the remainder of the night. He constantly checked his men, offered them encouragement insured that they were in the most advantageous positions— and kept them supplied with ammunition. Sergeant Reid's outstanding gallantry and devoton to duty reflect great credit upon himself and the military service. Mr: Reid having recently received his discharge from the Armed Forces is a student at the University of North Carolina.

Everyone knows about those that are nationally observed, such as New Year’s Day, July 4, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas. But for most Americans, who work a five-day week, there are a hundred more than occur, usually on Saturday and Sunday, aside from their customary two-week vacation periods. it is no wonder, then, that week-ends, like holidays, are periods of mass slaughter on the highways. Unfortunately, however, American families are not accustomed to thinking of their Saturday and Sunday holidays as constantly recurring danger periods for automobile travel, as they have been taught to regard the national holidays. When week-ends coincide with a national holiday, there is always a long list of dead and injured that gives at least a momentary shock to most people. Perhaps some may drive more safely for a few days, but when the next week end rolls around too many have lapsed back into unsafe motoring practices which cause the weekly bulges in accidents that pile up lists of dead and injured almost as long as those compiled following tht official holidays. And this goes on throughout the year, with the result that 41 percent of all highway fatalities and 36 percent of all injuries occur in week end accidents. Only last week end this writer observed two forceful reminders of careless driving on our highways: one morning while sitting in the restaurant next door I overheard the following conversation between two young men “how fast were we going when* the car turned over”—this from the one with several cuts and bruises on his face and a whiskey bottle protruding from his pocket-—the answer came from his companion who had a like number of cuts and bruises, “I don’t know, I reckon about 80, all the car would do, I had the accelerator on the floor.’* This car had turned over three times—luckily they were the only drivers on that stretch of road at that particular time. Another morning while coming back from Culpeper I was driving the third car in a line of cars when I noticed a car approaching from the rear. For a short distance he followed me—through my side mirror I could see that he was straddling the white line— Just before reaching the foot of the hill and a bridge he passed me and I remarked then about tne chance he was taking with a car full of little children. Before reaching the top of the next hill. he had passed two more cars and in so doing had been driving on the left side of a solid white line. I wish'I might have been able to make out the full license number of this car, but I could only get the first three numbers—565-. The death toll on an average week end runs to about 290 men, women and children. Add to that an average of more than 13,600 injured victims, and you' begin to get the picture of a single week end’s accidents. It should make sense to the ordinary family driver, therefore, that a double dose of caution is in order during week ends when the risk of an accident is much greater. Besides being especially careful about his own actions at the wheel, he must also “watch out for the other fellow” whose recklessness might cause a serious accident. At all times, but especially on week ends, every family driver^, should remember the safety rule: “Slow down—lives are in your hands!” It will help bring the family back home alive. What we want, we can usually get if we limit our wants. ✓ George C. Ramsey .'...' HARDWARE Front Royal, Va. Phone 47 J .

Why don't we ever have cheese ■ crackers n* beer for breakfast when yon’re home?” An Essential Job There’s many the man who bemoans the day that Drew Pearson penned his first biting column. They, no doubt, curse the fate that placed him in this country to pester them with his everlasting uncovering of shady deals. A disturber of the peace, is among the mildest of names hurled his way. Yet, think about this man Pearson and about his chosen job. Is he a party man, concentrating on tfye evils of the opposite party. Or does he dip just as liberally into the juicy off-color dealings of one party as into those of another. Does he not base his revelations upon pure fact, and not hearsay or insinuation. Do not his well-laid facts push the wheels of investigation into these matters under question. And of not little import. Does not his syndicated column touching on far-flung communities, put the “fear of Pearson” (symbolically) into many, and cause another moment of hesitation before joining the league of traitors. His is a necessary job. It is an unpopular, and often an unhealthy livelihood. We recognize the worth of his undertaking, and the high caliber of his accomplishment. Can You Believe? Rev. H. G. Tkach “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” St. John 4:24. . One of the most popular evangelists of our day. often uses an expression that, to my way of thinking, causes some people to become discouraged in their effort to mature spiritually. The expression is' this, “The Bible* says.” This creates in the mind of the hearer the need to believe everything they read in the Bible to be absolute truth. There are many who find it impossible to believe what they read is true simply becuse it is in the Bibig, but they find themselves believing it is in the Bible because it is t9*e. Therefore, many are no longer using the Bible to prove their contentions, but are asking that the Bible be read to fortify experience. Can you believe that. God is a Spirit without adding, “because it is in the Bible?” Or have you found through worshiping in spirit and truth that God truly is a Spirit and the Bible verifies the fact of your experience? ' I forget quickly, for which I am grateful. SINGER SEWING MACHINE— On* demonstrator available at reduced price. Singer Sewing Center, 108 E. Daria St., Cul* paper, Va. Phone 9042. STOP!

TULAREMIA As hunting season moves into full swing in Virginia,JJtate Health Commissioner Mack I. Shanholtz called the attention of hunters to tularemia, a disease often transmitted to man by wild life. Already this year 27 csaes of tularemia have been reported to the State Health Department, he said. ---- "Tularemia, an infectious disease I primarily of rabbits and rabbit-like I animals, is transmitted from animal | to animal by ticks, flies, fleas, *and I lice. Man is usually infected by con| tact with infected animals and in|T sects,” Dr. Shanholtz said. He added I that while tularemia is not usually | fatal, it can be very painful with I fever, chills, and sores at the site of I infection. According to Dr. Shanholtz, the | control of tularemia is dependent 1 upon * th^e precautions which each | person must take for his own safety. These are: . 1. Use rubber gloves at all times when skinning, dressing, or otherwise handling wild animals, especially rabbits. 2. Thoroughly cook all wild game until no red juices remain, even in the meat around the bones. The meat should be boiled twenty minutes regardless of how it is to be‘prepared and served. 3. Wash the hands with soap and water after any handling of wild animals. 4. Destroy all animals whose in_ ternal organs are studded with white shots. These spots are most likely tularemia abcesses. 5. When hunting, shoot only rabbits on the run. The slow, sluggish rabbit may be sick with tularemia. 6. Avoid drinking raw water in areas where tularemia prevails among wild animals. “Being reasonably careful is a small price to pay for safety against tularemia. Not being careful enough may demand a vastly higher price,” Dr. Shanholtz said. sewing Machines electrified. Singer Sewing Center, 105 East Devie St., Culpeper, Va.

S. Barksdale, chairman of the Rappahannock County PMA Committee, said, today. .. — To sign up, a farmer should come to the County PMA Office before December 12, 1953- In signing up to carry out approved soil and water conservation practices, the farmer does not obligate himself in any way, but he does make himself eligible for program assistance in carrying out the practices. Under the 1953 Agricultural Conservation Program, approximately 500. Rappahannock farmers will use the program to strengthen .Rappahannock County and the Nation’s soil and water resources. This cooperation with the farmers of other States has helped make possible the favorable food situation today, the County Chairman said. Ihe Chairman points out that there are ample supplies of all major foods to meeit all civilian and military needs. Present production is on a scale to provide a considerably higher standard of diet than the average for 1935-39, and this, according to the Chairman, is an indication of the effectiveness of the program in which farmers and the Nation share the cost of practices which protect the Nation’s food and fiber producing ability. “Any farmer who cooperates in ACP by building up the land’s resistance to erosion and improving its capacity to produce can be proud of his part in strengthening the country’s defenses and assuring ample food supplies for prseent and future generations,’’ H. S. Barksdale said. Farmers who cooperate in this program must put up their share of the out-of-pockef costs of the approved conservation practices. In turn both the farmer and the Nation share in' the benefits from these practices.” Farm Woodlands Last year District 3 of the Vir- . gioia Forest. Service received 446 requests for woodland management assistance from landowners residing within the distrto’s 16 county area. Foresters assisted 437 owners making timberland examinations on 37,868 acres of woodland. 20,228,000 hoard feet of timber was marked and estimated for harvesting by the ^Virginia Forest Service with a stumpage value in excess of $505,700. Growing timber in Virginia is good business. The Virginia Forest Service, through its timber management program, provides forestry assistance to the individual landowner so that his timberlands may be managed to produce the greatest volume of timber of the best " species possible in the shortest period of time. At a landowner’s request, a trained forester will make a preliminary'examination of an owner’s timber holdings, advise him on the correct methods of managing it and submit a detailed report, together with decommenda* tions on his findings. This is free, there is no charge for a timberland examination. In the event that mature timber exists on the tract, the Virginia Forest Service will mark and estimate the trees ready for harvesting. A fee of 60c per thousand board ft. ’for sawtimber marked and 15c per, standard cord for pulpwood marked is charged for this service. On completion of the marking work, the owner receives a report showing the number of trees marked by species and the volume of timber marked for cutting on the area. If you desire assistance in any phase of forest ‘management, whether your trees are young and immature or mature and ready for harvesting, or if you desire to re-forest some unproductive land, you may have the help of a trained forester by writing ' the Virginia Forest Service, Box 111, Warrenton, Virginia. Preventing Motion Sickness $ peed and mobility are *e«enfid I to the operation of-our armed forces. S _ peed and mobility are * vifal a Iso to our everyday life y> many travelers, both ' civilian and military, motion means that“green sickness* now drug, however,may . put an »nd 'h> motion oickness by Sci«nc^ ilurtt The funny man with the green face leaning over the rail of the A rolling ocean liner haa been the basis of many a movie joke, but to the traveler who is bothered with a queasy stomach, the joke •S is not well taken. Actually, motion sickness is a 5 serious problem. In-the armed forces, the success of a bombing raid or an amphibious landing may be jeopardized by motion sickness. In everyday life, the “green sickness” can spoil a vacation, a business trip by plane, or i - even a motoring holiday. For these reasons doctors in the armed forces, as well as civilian clinicians, have been conducting exhaustive tests on all drugs which promise to put an end to motion sickness. The latest and by far the most important drug to be tested is one called Bonamme. The U.S. Air ;« Force, as well as the Army and I Navy, tested it against other drugs and reported it to be the only one that gave 24-hour protection against air and seasickness. . In tests aboard an Atlantic it'. .i:-' - V * ipshxp the drug, Riven as a >!et, kept 109 of 115 soldiers om the rail. Paratroopers, too. r * led the tablet, and 97.4% of <0)2 jumpers were able to do their job without any trouble. Tests have shown that some drugs have a definite effect on vertigo, the medical term for the feeling that the world is revolving about you, or that you ‘yourself are revolving in space. Along with this feeling comes the other symptoms of motion sicknesspallor, cold sweating, nausea, and vomiting. f These symptoms are the result of the stimulation, by constant repeating motion, of certain sense organs in the body. Motion sickness preventatives have a depressive effect on the excitability ( of these organs. The value of the new drug over others is that one Bonamine tablet will give protection for a 24-hour period as compared with only 6 to 8 hours for the best of the other drugs used against motion sickness. It's easy to see how important this factor is, particularly in military operaJtions,_____w _ Gif18 Galore At Charlie?8 Store Chrome Chairs and Tables Folding Tibles and Chairs Upholstered Rockers Games — Dolls — Tricycles —• Wagons Candy and Magazines CHARLIE HILL’S VARIETY STORE E.

COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA Department of Taxation November 30, 1953 To the Treasurers.of the Counties and Cities: The 5% penalty accruing December 5 for the nonpayment of taxes and levies inaugurates no grace period nor gives any taxpayer any reason or right to expect that he may wait until the following June 30 to pay. Section 58965 of the Code of Virginia expressly provides that: “The treasurer, after the fifth day of December, . shall call upon each person chargeable with taxes and levies who has not paid the same prior to that time, or upon the agent* if any, of such person resident within the county or corporation for payment thereof; and upon failure or refusal of such person or agent to pay the same he shall proceed ^—to collect them by distress or otherwise.” Notwithstanding the plain provisions of the law and „ the publicity heretofore given this matter, information has reached me that in some counties and cities certain taxpayers still take the view that if they do not pay by December 5 of the tax assessment year, the accrual of the 5% penalty as of that date gives them some sort of right or excnap further to delay payment for five or six months, or some such time. The taxpayer who takes this erroneous view apparently feels that he ought to be allowed to recoup the greater part of the 5% penalty by retaining the use of his money until about the time the final delinquency date of June 30 is reached. There is no support whatever, in law or in reason, for such a point of view. The statute above quoted makes it the duty of the treasurer to proceed to collect the taxes and levies by distress or otherwise after December 5 if the tax. payer does not pay them on demand made by the treasurer »at any time subsequent to December 5. The object of the 5% penalty is to encourage taxpayers to pay their taxes by December 5. If the accrual of the 5% penalty on a past due tax bill were allowed to operate as an “extension" of five or six months, or some such time, for the payment of the taxpayer’s past due taxes, thus enabling the taxpayer to recoup the greater part of the penalty by retaining the use of his money, it is evident that the object of the 5% penalty would be practically nullified..

Main St. — Phone 1005 FRONT ROYAL, VA. * Opposite Ramsey’s' Hardware G. R. Mathews, of VPI‘s agronomy staff, told the farmers that the severe drouth this year re-emphasizes the need for developing a year-round feed pasture during the grazing sea-, son and furnish high quality hay and silage for the winter feeding period. Specifically, his suggestions were: Topdress alfalfa, pasture and hay crops during the rest of this fall, winter or early spring; and topdress small grains intended for silage, hay or grain with nitrogen for early spring, grazing. Use cover crops for grazing—boost the carrying capacity by applying 30 to 60 pounds of nitrogen per acre in January or February. Seed winter oats for grazing, silage, hay or grain as soon after February 1 as the land can be prepared. Overseed poor .stands or lost stands of small grain with winter or spring oats. .Seed spring oats for silage hay or grain; and seed sweet sudart grass for mid-summer grazing, silage or hay. George W. L'tton, animal husbandman from VPI. outlined waVs livestock men can make certain substitutions, and how they can “stre*ch” the winter feed supply. The “stretchers7 he mentioned include: Oil meal—protein improves digestion and saves feed. A rule of thumb is to use 10 pounds of oil meal to each 100 pounds of farm grains where hay is fair. With top quality hay in abundance, oil meal is unnecessary. Molasses—3 pounds equal 2 pounds of corn for wintering. At $50 a ton molasses is equal to $75-a-ton corn. With molasses, more* poor roughages will be eaten. Purdue supplement A—when feed with hay Purdue supplement A is no better than ordinary oil meal, so use the cheapest. The more complex supplement is necessary, though, with SINGER SEWING MACHINES— Portable re-conditioned by Singer $59.50. Singer Sewing Center, 105 E. Davit St., Culpeper, Va. Pbone 9042.

NORTHERN VIRGINIA POWER COMPANY straw and cobs. Honeysuckle—graze it, but usually it will take additional feed. Pellets—easier fed in small quanities than meal; reduces from wind blowing. Litton said also that where half enough or more hay is available, its lack can be made up by substituting —one pound of grain for 2i to 4 pounds of hay. The minimum roughage needs are 7 pounds of hay per cow or 3 pounds per calf each day, but silage can be used at the rate of 3 pounds of silage equaling 1 pound of hay. He emphasized that the greater feeding saving of all will come from killing lice, grubs, and internal parasites. Keith Huston, of VPI’s dairy department, said dairy farmers may need to feed more grain to supplement their home supply of roughages. In some cases it may pay to buy limited amounts of top quality _ legume hay to be doled out to the cows through the winter months to furnish the cows with needed vitamins, minerals and proteins essential —to health and dairy production._ He had these specific suggestions: Cull the herd to avoid wasting feed. Salvage and preserve all drought-damaged forage to reduce the amounts of forage that must be purchased. Extend the supply of inferior forage by chopping it and adding molasses to the forage when fed. Feed all roughage in the barn. Rack feeding is wasteful. Estimate your feed needs closely. Try . to include at least a small amount of good quality hay in each cow's daily ration. Feed at least li pounds of hay equivalent forage per 100 pounds of cow daily. Three pounds of silage or 3/4 pound of concentrates is equivalent to 1 pound of hay on the basis of U.S. grades. Molasses is a good condiment, Six' and otie-half gallons of molasses is equivalent to one bushel of corn ’n feeding value. Keep mineral supplement an4 salt before the cattle at all times. Sell any surplus'breeding stock to save feed and to furnish capital for carrying the remainder of the herd ‘through the drought period. Farmers desiring some of the,, ^suggestions in detail my get a copy of tl\e following mimeographed material from the county agent’s office: “Suggestions to Dairymen for Meeting Local Feed Shortages,” “Drought Emergency Feeding and Management of Beef, Cattle and Sheep,” “Dairy Cattle Feeding Recommendation,” “Emergency Feeding Suggestions,” “Stretch Your Winter Feed Supplies.” Pine Better Than Cedar 1 For Christmas Trees The common Virginia pine is a better Christmas tree than the more popular red cedar. Foresters at, VPI say red cedar, - which is the most popular native tree . in Virginia, has several disadvantages. Cedar is very inflammable. It is one of the few trees which will burn fiercely even while still green. The needles # are sharp, making the tree disagreeable "to handle. The branches are slender and drooping, making them hard to trim and unsuitable for holding gift packages. Furthermore, the red cedar is a valuable tree and easily sold for cedar* chesrts, fence ^posts, and other uses. j The foresters remind Christmas tree-fanciers that when trees are growing on land belonging to someone else, pay for them. Trees are the product of the land on which someone has been paying taxes. A farmer is as entitled <to receiving pay for a Christmas tree as are you for something that belongs to you or for your lal)or.

' ■ ",/ ■ ;, '1 Gtucthe Gj£ of secu with ‘Drive for Status I A recent headline .announces: “Philadelphia Police Nab 1,000 in Teen-Age Crime Roundup.” The accompanying story tells of a police drive to crack down on youthful gangs, confiscate their guns and switchblade knives (recemly made’ illegal by a city ordinance), and release most of them in custody of _ their parents, with stern warnings _ ‘ against future gang activities. -Another—headline—reads: “Gang Wars Curbed by City Mediators.”, This story tells of New York City’s progress in curbing juvenile gang warfare by the use of city board employees. Establishing contact with the groups by ‘‘the hanging-around method,” these understanding individuals are able to find jobs for some of the youths, find halls where the gangs Can hold dances under better conditions than have surrounded their usual rowdy “sessions,” and guide responsibility while satisfying the “drive for status” that lies behind the formation of a gang.( A third Headline reads: “TeenAgers War Upon Vandalisnij” Here we read of 700 young Bostonians, representative of high school Key Clubs, meeting in Faneuil Hall (of Revolutionary fame) to proclaim their intent to attack the evils of vandalism and youthful violence by their own methods. Not curfews and extra police, they insist, but enlisting the resources of law-abiding youth is the way to deal with the shameful and costly vandalism committed by some 2 per cent of the city’s juvenile population. .' Here are three methods of approach. The first, which is the least constructive, may be necessary as an emergency method on occasion, hut leaves the root of the matter untouched. The second represents one of the most creative—and probably efiective—means of reorienting existing gangs toward more socially desirable ends. The third holds a promise of tapping youthful energies to produce from the young people themselves a better climate of ideals within which to satisfy the natural “drive for status.” Youth normally prefers constructive to destructive ends if given half a chance. —Christian Science Monitor. * Christinas In Virginia / Short-cuts to an easy Christmas holiday have been listed by nutritionists at VPI.
