An old farmer, placed on probation after pleading guilty to operating a whiskey-making still, was summoned before the judge for return to your "whiskey-making.” With ' a little hesitation the defendant told the court, "No sir, not unless I have to. I got to have my whiskey, though. But I guess I won’t need to mak^ it, because I think I’ll go on welfare.” Birth Announcement Mr. and Mrs. Carson Jenkins of Woodville are receiving congratulations on the birth of a daughter, bom December 8, in the Warren Memorial Hospital, Front Royal. * Birth Announcement Mr. and Mrs. Joseph M.

RAPPAHANNOCK' NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING ' ’ * *■ At Washington, Rappahannock County Virginia DIAL WASHINGTON 2851 , BRUCE S. BOWIE......:.Publisher Entered as second-class mail matter at the post office at Washington, Virginia SUBSCRIPTION: (in advance)___$2.00 a year Can You Believe? . ... This is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.” St. John 3:19. This statement by the historical Jesus of Nazareth, who has been hailed as the very manifestation of the God of this world by countless millions, was directed ~ primarily . at the religious leaders of his day. Is it possible that they recognized their darkness (inability, spiritual blindness, sinfulness) for what it truly was and still loved it more than light (clean living, understanding, ability to commune with a living God) ? Can you believe that a people can come to love their own way of life so intensely that they are -blind to their own errors? It is hard to believe any generation could love darkness when their own Creator provides light. Yet it seems to have happened many times in history regarding many things that were given to the world. Can you believe snat there is hope for our world to know true peace if the Light which comes from God is ignored by more than fifty per cent of the people? I think it is an established fact that those who seek'sincerely, repentantly, and humbly, find “that light is come into the world” and that “God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.” St. John 3:17. Santa*8 A Christian We’ve often heard the bemoaning of the fact that “Christmas is no longer the celebration of Christ’s birthday, but the celebration of Santa IClaus’s yearly visit.” People interpret this as a sign that we are drifting more and more toward materialism, ignoring the principles of Christianity. This is false. Santa Gaus, himself, is a symbol of unselfishness, of a desire to give, and at the same time of reward for good behavior. None of these characteristics are nonChristian. They are quite Christian. Of course any good thing can be carried to extremes until eventually •the good once inherent, rots and the thing is evil. Thus to concentrate on the giving and receiving of gifts to the exclusion of the other1 good things of Christmas, is unwise. Santa Claus is a symbol which can be understood by the child. He is a necessary part of youth, a stage of development. Build into your child’s Santa, the Christian truths. SENSE AND CENSORS It is difficult to understand the reasoning of the woman member of the Indiana state textbooks commission in urging a ban on mention of Robin Hood and the Quaker faith in textbooks in that state. She found fault with Robin Hood because of his "legendary activities as a robber of the rich and benefactor of the poor, a philosophy she mistakenly applies to the Communists. Her disapproval Of the Quakers is because “they don’t believe inp fighting wars . . . it’s the same as the Communist crusade for peace—everybody lay down their arms and they’ll take over.” It is best to dispose of the issue raised about the Quakers first. Quakers played an important part in the history of our country and the state of Pennsylvania was founded and settled by these friendly, gentle people who were among the first in the World to grant religious toleration to faiths other than their own. In our recent history, Herbert Hover who was raised a Quaker, served as President. Many critisisms have been brought against Mr. Hoover but it . has never been suggested that he might be subversive. • As for Robin Hood, generations of children have read of the outlaw’s adventures with no apparent bad results. The governor of Indiana, commenting on the suggestion that Robin Hood might be ' subversive reading, admitted that it had been a long time since anyone had read him the stories. As the governor of a great state he does not seem to have been damaged by his early exposure to the legends. In our justifiable concern about Communism is it impossible for us to retain some perspective? Are we to resort to the same stupid approach which has characterized Communism and made it destestable? These questions are more than rhetorical. An appointed official in a great state has publicly demonstrated that when hysteria comes in the front door, common sense is thrown out of the window. —Somerset Star, Somerville, N.J. Mere Belongers At a recent meeting of a local county organization, out of, say 30 or 35 names called by. the secretary during roll call, a total of 6 were present. This—wasn’t— surprising. It is a monthly occurence. Is it the fault of the organization and its leaders for not drawing its members by more interesting programs? „ . . Partly, and only partly, is this true. It is the fault, mostly, of persons we shall call, habitual belongers. Start a new organization and they’re the first to pen their names to the charter. A month or two, the novelty wears off and they find themselves unable to attend the routine monthly meeting due to a sick headache, cold, etc. This, slackness seems unimportant; however, it is a sign of a deeper slackness. It’s a weakness. When you join an organization you automatically pledge your support. These organizations are still founded for tlie good purpose for which you first joined them. Yet you ignore any responsibility you may feel towards them. How many organizations, reader, do you belong to? How many roll calls do you answer each month?. A Neighborhood By Clarence E. Flynn I know a little neighborhood , Where lovely gardens grow, And pleasant little homes are stood All in a friendly row; Where happy children romp and play, And kind hearts understand, And each is ready any day To lend a helping hand. Suspicion mars no friendship there, And falsehoods spread no gall Sorrow and joy both are shared And each keeps faith with all. Now if one little neighborhood Such blessedness can claim, Why in the name of all that’s good Can’t the whole world do the same7 —Contributed by Mrs. F. D. Wood * - Wells Welcome Overdue Rain A nice steady rain descended Sunday afternoon and continued through Sunday night to the delight of Rappahannock dwellers, long ago tired of the dry spell, Usually rainy days are Tather gloomy and the overcast sky spells trouble to mothers who have youngsters to “keep busy.” It’s odd with what a different attitude one greets a long-absent friend.

The Singing Child As yrarmly personal as the children singing carols at the door, the 1953 Christmas Seal, symbol of the fight' against tuberculosis, ■ will bring Christmas into every home in the community. The carol singers, or "waits,” as they are called in England, come to your door, bundled against the cold in, overcoats, knitted mufflers, and * caps, "bringing Christmas.” Almost literally, this* year's Christmas Seal —does the ^ame thing. It features the joyful face of a singing child, wearing red mittens, and an old-fashioned green stocking-cap and muffler, and holding an open book of carols. The artist who designed the 1953 Seal, Elmer Jacobs of Chicago, sought to capture in the child’s upturned face “the faith, purity, love, and all the things that should be foremost in our thoughts, particularly during the holiday season.!’ It reminds one of the familiar card: “We are not sturdy beggars who go from door to door, But we are neighbors’ children whom you have seen before.” The singing child on the Christmas Seal is also no stranger but, like the Christmas Seal itself, it is a symbol of hope to millions of Americans. The Christmas Seal represents our faith in a full, happy, healthy future for our children. The Christmas Seal sale is {he $ole means of the local tuberculosis associations to finance their work in Health education, prevention, finding, and curing tuberculosis. Missionary Society Holds December Meeting Eleven members attended the December meeting of the Julia Hagood Graham Missionary Society that was called to order in the home of Mrs. Walter Krause, Thursday evening. There was a full program with Mrs. Glenn Williams in charge of the regular program and Mrs. Moore presenting the annual Lottie Moon project. The members brought in clothing for their Christmas family. In a social hour Christmas gifts were exchanged among the ladies. Tree Presents Top ~ Christmas Fire Hazard ;> The festive act of “bringing in the Christmas tree'' is also a potentially dangerous one. That tree is highly combustible. Filled with pitch and resin, it will ignite very easily and bum so furiously that it is almost impossible to extinguish. Bringing it into the home brings in a definite and serious fire hazard. To minimize the danger, the National Board of Fire Underwriters suggests some simple but effective safety precautions: 1. Choose a small tree. It’s just as pret'ty and is less of a hazard than a large tree. 2. Keep it outdoors Until a day or two before Christmas. 3. When you set it up, stand it in water .... or use a live tree in a _pot of earth. _ _ _ 4. Place the tree in the coolest part of the house, away from radiators, heaters or* fireplaces. Don’t let - it block an exit. If it must go near a radiator, turn that radiator off. Come in and see our selection of ?
