Well, folks much to my surprise ho one answered the question of last week. Edward G. Ross was the Kansas Senator casting the deciding vote of “Not Guilty” in the o o o o The question for this week is “How does the dandelion get its name?” The first person to answer this question either by phone or letter (we will note the post mark) will receive one year’s subscription to the Rappahannock News. o o o o Air of Yesterday “afternoon arid one slightly leaning post, I’m a woman of experience on dents in fenders. One helpful -suggestion I may render to the femles who partake of this column, “A hammer won’t work—though it should."’~Of course a rubber hammer or a hammer with a piece of felt (preferably not from the offended —husband’s best hat) ought to do the job. The last is a mere straggle of thought, untried. ‘ , o o o o These last few days of sunshine have been like a reprieve. When you ^ think about it, we’re really lucky to live in a climate with so ..much variety. The change of seasons give you a taste of them all. When one is 5 wearing your patience thin, the other shtfws up. And it makes you appreciate seasons ... in the raging cold of winter, you love the blazing heat of summer, and in the summer you dream of those won^erfu^cold d#ys, „ _ you had in. the winter. This is good news for the property owners of this end of the county: Friday night at 7:30 the Washington Fire Department will hold a special meeting to discuss the purchase of another piece of fire-fighting equipment. The local fire company feels that the homo owners in the Flint Hill, Huntly, Chester Gap area do not have the fire protection they are entitled to, and additional equipment will be oof great benefit to the entire community. o o o o It is with 'sincere regret that we learn of the departure of Dr. Wake from our midst. During his stay in the county he and Mrs. Wake have made a host of friends, and Dr. Wake has built up quite a reputation as a veterinarian. We f hate to see them leave opr community, but we are glad to hear that “Doc” has landed such a fine position with the U. S. Dept, of Agriculture, Research B.ureau. . We are gratified to learn of the effort being put forth by some of the citizens 'in the county to get a dentist to locate locally. Bill Lyne sent us a copy of a letter from the School of Dentistry in Richmond concerning the locating of a dentist for the county, and the prospects really look good.

V * J- -« W * ■ J«; Ladies Entertain Washington Fitemen In the Fire House Hall, cleverly lecorated with pines, and red candles, the Ladies Auxiliary to the Rapjahannock Fire Company entertained :he firemen and their guests, Friday :vening, January 29. Around sixty lome firemen, visiting firemen and members of the Rescue Squad, were present to enjoy the meal of turkey and all that "goes with it.” H. S. Barksdale, the ^ witty ' toastmaster opened the program and called on W. C.. Compton for the invocation. Mrs. Bruce Bowie, president of the Ladies Auxiliary, welcomed the group to the banquet. Following the meal, the guests were entertained and instructed by a brief speech by J. Everett Wills/ president of the Virginia State Firemen’s Association and Past President of the Northern Virginia Firemen’s Association. Bruce Bowie, in his in- - iroduction of Mr. Wills, reminded the group that Mr. Wills was an old friend of theirs (having spoken at the Firemen's picnic during the summer) and a person that was always at home with firemen, wherever they gather. - Mr. Wills, in an attractive persuasive ^ manner, ^convinced the group of the necessity of having a fire company in every community. He told the group of the state-wide progress, in past days and of the ambitions plans under discussion for future progress. He vowed that he knew of no other organization composed of all creeds and colors that worked so effectively for one common cause. , - Receive $600 in Gift* / .

Fire Chief L. V.' Merrill with a check for $100. A native' of Rappahannock, the Hon. W. C. Armstrong of Front Royal, presented the guest speaker of the evening, Frank Stoutamyer of Front Royal. Mr. §.toutamyer,' chief " of the Front Royal Fire Company, is no stranger in Rappahannock having i spoken here on several previous occasions. Mr. Armstrong’s recollections, reviewed in his introduction, were amusing to all, and especially so to the “old timers” present. The firemen’-s duty to prevent fires, as well as fight them, was stressed by Mr. Stoutamyer.' A fireman should be fire conscious at all times. Furthermore, his work with the fire company, should blend into the other phases of his life and influence him for the good. Throughout the program there was group singing, • led by Mrs. Paul Nichols. The whole evening’s entertainment gave one a feeling of beginning *to know the real work of a fire company and to realfze its value in any community’s life. Leave For Physical Exam. The following boys left on February 1 for a physical examination preparatory to entering the Armed Forces: ; - Benton M. Oatterbuck, Allie P. Huff, Cleveland Woodard, Charles P.

Center Photo—Postmaster Greely receives first sack o? mail from Joe Jenkins. Bottom Photo—Cary Williams, native of Chester Gap, buys stamp on opening day. About a mile from the main highway as you cross the mountain into Warren Countyrthere stands a small village—hardly a village, with the few houses scattered thinly within the forest of growth. . . This is Chester Gap of years gone by, the Chester Gap which is still recalled by those who have failed to note the rapid growth of this village. THe Chester Gap of Thursday, 1954, is a far cry from this. The mountains have made way to*new houses, neat and clean; to. enthusiastic young faces, whipped- red by the mountain Wnd. A good dirt road winds around the hills and between the houses. Tuesday mprning, February 2, another outward sign of growth was evidenced when a post office was opened in Greeley’s store. This post office with its two daily deliveries, 9:55 a.m. and 3:45 p.m., will serve around 70 families. Merritt A. Greeley, who first opened the store two years ago, will serve as postmaster, with Minnie Williams, Mrs. Greeley and Cary Wiliams, assistants. Jqe Jenkins will deliver the morning and afternoon mails. The building in which the post office is housed is a combination grocery, hardware, sourvenir and antique store. Almost any time of day one can . find .several men sitting around the potbelly stove, passing the time of day. The postoffice is located in the left side of the store in a neat room with a large map of Chester Gap and vicinity pasted on the far wall. Greeley's Store personifies Chester' Gap. On one side there’s the potbelly stove, a relic of the days when the village was only a few houses, and on the other," a modern day post office with twice daily deliveries, a reminder that the village is growing. Birth Announcement Mr. and Mrs. Everett Smith are receiving congratulations on the birtlv of a daughter, Nancy Lee, born at Warrenton Physicians* Hospital on January 27. Nancy Lee is the granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Smith and Mr. and Mrs. Henry Hitt Supervisors Hold February Meeting A large delegation from the EstesCastleton section of Rappahannock County, appeared before the six supervisors in their February meeting, Wednesday morning, to^ register a complaint about the prevailing condition of the roads from Viewtown to Castleton and from Estes to Castleton. Resident Engineer P. B. Coldiron, explained that a plan had been proposed some time ago to hard surface these roads; however, due to lack of state funds appropriated for road repair, these plans have lain dormant for sometime. These secondary roads, he continued, will be cared for in case of snow, etc., as soon as the primary roads are satisfactorily cleared, As soon as the necessary_ funds are available, the other plans will be carried out. Five sheep claims were brought before the board and acknowledged: W. A. Long, Jr., $20; Miss Virginia Tapp, $10; C. R. Wire, $20; Roland Welch, $36; Miss Florence Settle, $40; and Nish North, $17.50. • Mrs. Elizabeth Buntin and Mrs. C. E Johnson Jr. presented the budget for the Rappahannock Welfare Department for the coming fiscal year. The budget was discussed among the members and a motion was made and carried that the proposed budget be accepted. The Board oi Supervisors agreed to pay half of the cost of building a fence from the Health Department office (the Moffett office) to the Gyde Baggarly line of property. The other half of the expenses was to be carried by the town of Washington. : A proposal was made and agreed Upon that the Board go on record* of opposing examination for renewal of driving permit after 65 years, unless required by a physician. (As the rule is now, one pass 65 must take an examination every year to renew his driving certificate. By the supervisors' agreement, this would be eliminated unless a physician so required). Sperryville Firemen Answer Three Calls Three calls were made this past week. Two calls were made to ex* tinguish a fence fire at the home of Mrs. Holmes Hall at Woodville. At 7:10 a.m. January 28, the company w~' called to the home of E, B. Updike at Peola Mills for a chimney fire. The fires were put out with no damage reported. Earlier this month four other calls were made. On January 1, a brush fire was extinguished at Buckley’s Store, 2 miles east of Sperryville. While the fire was being extinguished at Buckley’s Store, a second call was placed for a trash and brush fire which threatened H. H. Aylor’s garage and service station. Both fires were put out with no damages. Around noon on the 5th, the company answered a call to Green’s home in Gid Brown Hollow. This colored home was a complete loss. The house was like a torch, being on fire on all sides from top to bottom, on arrival. On the morning of January 13, a call was made to a tenant home of J. W. Fletcher. This was a chimney fire and was bought undercontrol with no damage. i ATTENTION FIREMEN!

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 Washington as viewed by YOUR SENATOR A. WILLIS ROBERTSON BACKGROUND OF DEBATE ON BR1CKER AMENDMENT The most controversial matter so considered at this term of the Congress is the Bricker Amendment—a proposal to amend our Constitution by limiting the present power to make treaties and executive agreements. When Senator Bricker invited members of the Senate to become ro-patrons of his amendment in January 1953, I, along with sixty other Senators, agreed to do so because I agreed with his stated purpose of making it crystal clear that no treaty could be valid which was in conflict with our Constitution. I was particularly concerned because House and Senate Labor Committees, in recommending passage of a Fair Employment Practices Bill, which I considered unconstitutional, had argued that whether or not such action wais authorized ' under our Constitution, it could be done under a section of the Charter of the United Nations, which we had accepted as a treaty. I also was concerned by the fact that' when President Truman seized the steel industry and the Chief Justice and two other members of the Supreme Court said, in a minority opinion, that his action was authorized they put considerable emphasis upon the President's obligation to carry out our responsibilities as a signer of the United Nations Charter. Before the Bricker Amendment was placed before the Senate for action, however the Judiciary Committee amended it to include provisions which it did not contain at the time 1 agreed to sponsor it, including the so-called “which clause.” There is no agreement on what that clause means, but no one denies that it changes ‘ the Constitution as originally drafted by giving States in some instances a veto power over treaties. The Bricker Resolution as amended was strongly opposed by President Eisenhower, Secretary of State Dulles and others who said it would "hamstring” the President, in carrying out concern because I have consistently supported the kind of internationalism involved in the Hull Reciprocal Trade program and I believe our nation cannot live unto itself in the modern world. I also was impressed hy.the fact that opponents of the Bricker Resolution included John W. Davis, who , successfully argued before the Supreme Court against the President’s proposed seizure4 of the steel mills and an overwhelming majority of law school deans and teachers of international law, including Dean Rib ble, of the University of Virginia, whom I had found so helpful when I was assembling arguments against the F.E.P.C. The law experts argued that the proposed amendment was not needed and that its cost to our position in world affairs would be staggering. They pointed out that we already are safeguarded by an elected President, sworn to uphold the Constitution, two-thirds of the members of the Senate, who must approve all treaties, and a Supreme Court which can declare any treaty " invalid if it conflicts with the Con- » stitution. I decided, therefore, that the only logical course, in keeping with my convictions was for me to support a substitute amendment drawn by Senator George of Georgia, one of the best constitutional lawyers in the Senate. The substitute amendment Complex Apparatus Serves as Heart and Lungs in Operation Setting of an historic operation at Philadelphia’s Jefferson Medical College Hospital, utilizing for the first time a heart-lung apparatus (left and foreground) to detour blood around the patient’s heart as well as to oxygenate the blood, is shown in the above photograph. The operation was instrumental in restoring Cecelia Bavolek, 18-year-old college freshman, to normal health. „■ Both the “heart" and the /lung" sections of the complex ' apparatus, developed by Dr. John H. Gibbon, Jr., were used in the operation, which was performed to correct a malformation diagnosed earlier as a hole in the .wall between the two upper chambers (auricles) of the patient’s heart. ! For 26 minutes the machine breathed for Miss Bavolek and ‘pumped her blood. In that time, her heart was opened and the aperture—as big as a half dollar —between the auricles was In fvrtl view. Although her heart kept beating the surgeon found the closing of the opening a rela* tively easy task, since he was working in a “dry field.” “The machine Is not a cure* all for all heart conditions,” ex* plains Dr. Gibbon. “It will prob* ably be used chiefly on patients born with a deformed heart. It can’t help coronary artery dlt» ease or hearts crippled by dls* eases of old age.” Many years of ^development and testing preceded actual us# of the heart-lung machine oh an operation.

Con* tributions should be sent to your Heart Association or simply to “HEART.” care of Post Office. says that any treaty or international agreement which conflicts with the Constitution shall have no force and effect. This is similar to the first section 6f the Bricker Amendment and was not objected to by President Eisenhower although Dean Ribble and others have said it is unnecessary because the Consitution already is clear on that point. The substitute also says that any international agreement other tharTa treaty-shall hofbe- ~ come internal law for the1 United States' except by an act of Congress. This -does not touch the President’s treaty-making powers and also allows him to enter into executive agreements covering international affairs but simply prevents the executive from using an international agreement to change the internal laws of the United States without the approval of the Congress. This, I believe, is a reasonable compromise which should serve the ends I had* in view when I first agreed to back the Bricker Amendment. Christ, The Living Bread John 6:48-69 The Scripture lesson for Sunday February 7 is taken from the Gospel of John 6:40-71. In this particular section of John’s Gospel we see Jesus manifesting Himself as the source of life. That is He is the sustenance of life. That which is not only the source of life, but also that which continues to sustain life. When Jesus proclaimed Himself, “The bread of life,”, it aroused a controversy among those who heard him. In verses 41 to 59 we see the account of the controversy in regard to this person and purpose in life and the remainder of the chapter gives the effects which this claim had upon the disciples and followers of Jesus. As to His Person: They thought they ktiew all about Him and His family, but the fact,was they knew, very little about the mystery of His person. Mary could not reveal this to the public without being in danger, of being stoned to death or at least great embarrassment and ridicule. This was a part of the sword which was to pierce her heart according to Nathaniel’s prophecy. Their problem arose beca.use*-of their ignorance as to His person. Often our own problems arise likewise “because of ignorance. He made no attempt to correct their ignorance, but proceeded to reveal Himself in another way. In v. 44 He tells us, “No one can come to Me except the Father which sent Me draw him.” That is no one can see and understand Him except the Father reveals it to us. We cannot see something which is hidden from us. However, we often fail to heed ijoas teacning ana arawing. He told Nicodemus that he could not see the Kingdom of God except he was born of God. Now notice that while this relationship with Christ depends upon Gcxfs action, it is equally true that man must respond to God’s invitation. There is no excuse for our ignorance as God is drawing us all. "They shall all be taught of God.” Difficulty as to His Flesh: v. 48 "I am the bread of life.” What did He mean here? In John’s prologue we find the statement "The Word became flesh and dwelt among us.” Now the phrase "The Word became flesh,” is another way of saying that when He 'came into the world veiled in the flesh of man, that God by the way of immaculate conception and the Virgin birth created a new humanity which would be free from Adams fall, but yet grateful on to the old race by his mother. That is He would be free from sin by overcoming sin and prepare a way for you and I to return to the Father^ His flesh was a new humanity “That is the living bread?” His flesh was thus given for the life of the world, and human life can be sustained and satisfied only as it finds its source and sustainance in Christ, Who is the source of all life. Except as we take that life which He manifested in the flesh and assimilate into our own so that we in turn become Christ like we fail. As to the effect of this claim upon the Disciples: We find them saying, “This is a harsh saying, who can hear it.” And many turned back. They were spiritually blind and thus could not understand so they gave up. This, is typical of/ many today. But we see in Peter’s statement the symbol of those who follow by faith and not by sight. In otherwords Peter declared the uselessness of turning elsewhere and reveals the reason for staying, verse 68. In this group we see Peter is always pictured at the top while Judas is at the bottom until he finally fades out all together. Jesus rebuked these people for living only on the material level and make the claim that He is able to satisfy every human need if we will only come with them to Him in an unbiased faith in Him only. 7 Washington News Notes Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Jenkins, Miss Alice Mae Coughlin and Bobby were guests Sunday afternoon' of Mr. and Mrs. W.

News Among Our Colored Readers THE NEW FARMER TODAY— -THE SUCCESSFUL FARMERTOMORROW Clifton Hill, Jr., a senior at the George Washington Carver Regional High School, is looking forward to becoming successfully established in farming. He is an outstanding fourstanch New Farmer of America member. Because of his leadership abilities, Clifton often serves in the capacity of advisor in the absence of Mr. Nicholas. Clifton won second place in the State last year for Farm and Home Improvement. This year Jbe will be competing for the Soil and water Management Award, both ^tate and national, and a candidate /for the Modern Farmer Degree. If his farming plans are carried to materialization, he will be a strong candidate for the H. O. Sargent Award in a few years to some. Gif Ion's supervised farming pro=~ gram include the following: one beef cow; one beef calf; one fat hog; 5a corn; 5a. oats; and 5a. mixed hay along with a number of improvement projects and supplementary farm jobs.

BUut&tH Front Royal, Va. “HopeT Is Basis Of Heart Campaign High among the objectives of the 1954 Heart Fund, now underway in Virginia and throughout the nation, is the conquest of rheumatic fever, forerunner of rheumatic heart disease. It is childhood’s number one enemy. Striking most often in the five to ninteen year age bracket, rheumatic fever is responsible for more than ninty percent of defective heartenchildren, and for a great many crippled hearts in adult life. Despite the fact that in some areas of the United States rheumatic fever causes nearly five times as many deaths as polio, meningitis, whooping cough, measles and diptheria combined, the outlook Warrants optimism. Almost invariably rheumatic fever is ,preceded by “strep" infection. Prompt and efficient treatment with antibiotics under a doctor’s direction, may prevent development of rheumatic fever. Moreover, recurrent rheumatic fever attacks can be -forestalled through the* use of certain drugs and antibiotics. Research investigators supported by Heart Fund contributions are seek- * ing to identify the precise agent responsible for the inflamation and scarring of the heart muscle and valves in rheumatic fever. Some significant leads have been developed. Notable advances also are being made in surgery, to correct heart valves dangerously narrowed ana scarred by rheumatic heart disease. Apart from its support of re-, search aimed at the ultimate conquest of rheumatic heart disease, Heart Fund contributions help programs of community education to alert parents to the need to have ‘‘strep’’ , infections promptly treated by a physician. Community heart programs, conducted by Virginia Heart Association and its local associations, are designed to enable heart sufferers to live useful and productive lives. Rheumatic heart disease is but one of a score of heart diseases with which Heart Associations are concerned. Contributions may be mailed to “Heart—c/o Postmaster.” Mrs. Paul Miller is the chairman of the 'Heart Fund Drive for Rappahannock County.
