Can you think of a more worthwhile cause. o o o o A stranger driving through Rappahannock county would get the impression that we are a class of people that never dyink water, if the number of beer cans and bottles that can be found along our highways could be used as a sign. Can anyone come forward with a suggestion on how to help keep our highways free from such unsightly conditions. , ,.. o O 0 04 Miss Julia Atkips of Washing* ton phoned in the correct answer last Thursday morning, to the question for the , week — John,.Shackelford Oreen. Miss Atkins found the answer in Miss Dollie Hite’s "Rtppahsnnoek Story —Book’V My source of information was from Maj.

Week Future Farmers of America ment, bers throughout the nation are scheduling special activities to focus public attention on the work of their organization during National F.F.A. Week, February 20-27. Members of the Rappahannock F. F. A. chapter plan to make posters to be placed in store windows of the county and have one radio program during the week. Other activities have been planned to be carried out in observance of National F.F.A. Week. Membership in the F. F. A. is made ' up of farm boys who are students of vocational agriculture in high school. The organization’s activities are designed primarily to help develop rural leadership and good citizenship, and 4o stimulate the boys tp better achievement in their study and work ' toward successful establishment in farming. The Rappahannock County F.F.A. chapter has 46 members. Officers are: Kelly Updike, President; J. T. Dwyer, Vice-President; Dickie Atkins, Secretary; Robert Thornhill, •Reporter; Strother Brown, Treasurer and Bill Leake, Sentinal. Future Farmers choose the week of George Washington's birthday each year for the observance of National F.F.A. Week. Although generally recognized as a Revolutionary War general and out first President, Washington’s first love was the farm he called Mount Vernon. There, he was one of the first in the nation to practice contour planting, crop rotations, fertilization, and other soid conservation and improvement methods. It was more than a century after Washington’s death , before general use was made of many of the sound agricultural practices that he advocated. Local Red Cross Drive Opens March 1 The annual drive for Reel Cross memberships and funds which of4 ficially opens March 1, will get under way in Rappahannock soon, according o Mrs. Kathleen Lawrence, Chapter Chairman. Mrs. G. W. Smith of Flint Hill, who heads the fund drive, ur&es generous contributions to enable the county to surpass its $1120 quota for the relief of suffering not only locally but throughout the United States and the world. The membership quota for 1954 is 600. As everyone knows, or should ... know* that the American Red Cross is the only organization that helps __cveryone in-need in-4imcs-of-disaster.-" The word “disaster” covers many things„.fires, tornadoes, hoods, damage done by explosions, or any other emergency. An emergency is defined as “immediate help.” No other organization helps more people during a disaster than the Red Cross. The blood bank maintained by the Rappahannock County Chapter of the Red Cross provides blood needed by any citizen of the county. During 1953 sixty-eight (68) pints of blood were used free of Any cost except hospital administration charges, by Rappahannock citizens at the University of Va. Hospital, Charlottesville. Cost would have been $1700 at $25 a pint. Our chapter contributed to the National Blood Program which provided blood that saved thousands of our soldiers tites. The chapter also collected blood, for the gamma globulin program. - ^ Besides the reKef work, the Red Cross sponsored water safety training for the youngsters in the county. About one hundred and twenty-five children and young people enrolled with thirty-two (32) completing the course and receiving certificates. The. • drought which struck the county and repleted the water supplies, acounted for the drop outs. Plans are already -(St« Rod Cross - pt(« 8) S.F.V.C.

The first annual Firemen’s Banquet honoring the members of the Amissville Fire Department, brought many boquets of congratulations to the Ladies Auxiliary to the Fire Department, who .sponsored the get-together Friday evening. The banquet table, in a horseshoe Shape, was cleverly dotted with red and white candles. Through the center of the table ran loose sprays of box wood. Beside each setting was a red hatchet enclosing the menu. The candlelight heightened the effect of the George Washington Birthday set- - ting. Following several minutes of informal conservation among the guests. Reverend Harold Thach Of the Amissville Methodist Church offered the invocation.

Neighboring departments represented included: Sperryville, Washington, Culpeper, Front Royal, Orange, Madison, Brandy, Washington, D. C., felkton, Franconia, Remington, The Plains and Warrenton. Then came the part'of the evening which we daresay will linger longest in the memory of many of the guests—“the meal,” , consisting of a salad, tomato juice, turkey, dressing arid gravy, peas, candied yams with cranberries, pickles and olives, rolls and butter, nuts and mints and topped off with that second cup of coffee and a generous slice of cherry pie,— Mrs. Hitt played softly throughout the meal, thus lending another satisfying strain of atmosphere. After the feast there was a pause for a much needed stretch ‘and a loosing of the joints, while Mrs. Hitt sang “The End of A Perfect Day.” The Rev. Paul Bowden, chaplain of - the Warrenton Fire Department, was toastmaster for the evening. He presented Mrs. Graham Hackley, president of the Amissville Auxiliary, who with many a smile, presented to'the firemen, a check foir$500.

RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS ■' , - ... . * ... j r t■ ' * m 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 MORE DEBATE JUSTIFIED ON HAWAIIAN STATEHOOD During the twenty years that Statehood for Hawaii has been agitated, more than, 700 witnesses have filled more than five thousand pages of printed testimony. Those urging immediate action on the bill now pending in the Senate argue that there is no need for exitended debate but an examination of the many hearings discloses the fact that more than nine-tenths of the witnesses at these hearings favored Statehood and that many of them came to Washington with all expenses paid while opponents could come only at their .own expense. It is also a fact that many in Hawaii who were opposed to Statehood have been afraid to publicly say so for fear of hurting their business or their political aspirations. This has made it difficult for Statehood opponents to get their side on the record. Also when the record against Statehood has been made it has not been widely publicized whereas $150,000 a year has been made available from Hawaiian tax funds to the Statehood Commission to advertise and otherwise promote the cause of Statehood. Under these circumstances it is not surprising that Gallup polls seem to show a majority favoring Statehood and that Statehood has received favorable nods in {he platforms of both major political parties. It is important, therefore, that those who are opposed to Statehood now have the time and opportunity to get their views before all the people before a final vote is taken, because once taken, the action will be irrevocable* And it is especially important, I believe, that the people of the United States be given an opportunity to evaluate the most recent testimony on the threat of Communism in Hawaii. One of the witnesses on this subject was former Governor Stainbeck of Hawaii, now a Federal Judge in the Islands. Judge Stainbeck had appeared previously as an advocate of Statehood but this year he confessed that he had been wrong, at least so far as granting immediate Statehood is concerned, although, he still looks to it as a future goal. Judge Stainbeck’s testimony, back You may bo ono who mistakonly believe* that to be fully insured costs too much. Have you ever.., • considered the cost of not being fully insured? A broad coverage policy with 80% collision protection may cost .less than you think. H. H. (Buddy) Aylor Phone 2544 SPERRYVILLE, VA. STATE FARM MUTUAL AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE COMPANY BLOOMINGTON, ILLINOIS ed by that of other witnesses, was that the whole economy of Hawaii is at the mercy of a single labor union which controls workers in shipping and in the pineapple and sugar industries; that the leadership of this union is openly communist and that through economic pressure these union leaders could at least exercise a “veto’* power over the selection of men whom the State of Hawaii would send to serve in the United States Senate and House of Representatives. That testimony was not only substantiated by an immigration official who testified before the Jenner Committee on Subversive Activities but he likewise called alttention to the fact that Statehood for Hawaii would make it possible for thousands of aliens in the Hawaiian Islands, some of whom may be communists, to freely visit our mainland from which they can now be excluded. It would certainly make a farce of our immigration laws which prohibit alien communists from entering our country to enable spies who wish to operate in our country to enter by way of Hawaii. With the international situation aS critical as it is today I think we should be wary of action which Would make it possible for followers of the Kremlin to influence the selection of members of the Congress who would be sympathetic with their viewpoint if not actually subject to their direction, to say nothing of abandoning the historic concept of the Monroe Doctrine which has so far limited our territorial expansion. flutentAfic M1ATINO COMPOST v /; * «t<wuCoili INSTALL A ;xe^Koaifka STOKOR CONVERSION UNIT Burning Anthracite Rice PROMPT DELIVERY Phone 966 Front Royal STOUTAMYER and KERFOOT INC. The Good Shepherd • John 10 By G. M. Profitt, Chapter 10 is a continuation of Chapter 9. It grows out of the spiritual blindness of the Jewish leaders of the day and their treatment of the blind man who had received his sight. These leaders had proved themselves ~to be incapable asshepherdsofthe— people and so as a result of their failure Jesus illustrated His ability and compassion as the True Shepherd by telling them of the sheepfold. He and He only is. the true shepherd, whidh will not flee when danger approaches. This chapter reveals Jesus in His best loved and also most beautiful portraits. Here His compassion is revealed at its best. , In Chapter 9 the rulers had rejected the man who had received his sight, because he would not classify Jesus as a siftngr because He had broken one of their traditions. But when Jesus heard of their cruelty He came and took the man into His Kingdom and then proceeded to illustrate the True Shepherds work, love and leadership. Verses 1-6 reveal the true Shepherd in attitude method and love. Here he enters by the door and the sheep know him and love him and also follow him. But an untrue shepherd sneaks up some other way and flustrates the sheep rather than comforts and cares for them. These leaders were unable to feed the flock because of their hard headed and distorted views of God's Word, work and methods. Because Jesus had not fulfilled their ideal as a Messiah they would not accept Him. He also condeemned much of their traditions and customs which they held to be necessary for salvation and so they sought every means possible to get rid of Him. Jesus had come not to bind heavy burdens upon the shoulders of the people but to loose ’them and lead them into the fulness of life and into the presence of God as a true Father. In verses 7-9 Jesus reveals Himself as the only Door. Now the Eastern shepherd is a 4-walled structure having only one entrance' into it. There is no shutter for the opening and after the shepherd leads his sheep into the enclosure he himself lies down across the opening forming the way of entrance into the Kingdom of God. Just as no enemy could get into the fold without crossing the body of the shepherd neither can any enemy get to you if you are one of the Lord's sheep without-crossing— His body as He is the door of entrance. Neither can a sheep get out of the fold without crossing the body of the shepherd so this also shows how secure we are in Christ. He is ready if necessary to give His life for the safety of the sheep and this He did on the cross that you and I might truly have this security and eternal life. * In verse 10 JeSus reveals His true mission in life.; that of coming to loose us from the bondage of sin and help us enter into the fulness of life. Satan js always seeking to enslave us by various ways, but Christ came to loose us that we in turn might live an abundant life like on a higher plane than merely one of worldly honor and fame.

ROY JONES JEWELER i v:- i Davit Street—Culpeper, Va. X voluntary sacrifice as the good shepherd defending hie flock. This He did oh the cross overcoming Satan and cnvhing the power of sin over all who will trust in Him as the good shepherd. He laid down His life voluntarily because He loved us and took it up again that we might* overcome the world in Him. He says, "My sheep hear my voice and I know them and they follow— me.” This is ,a real test of Christianity: Are we really following* Christ or some/other person. It is so easy to follow a person and completely loose sight of Christ. He knows whether y6u are His and He has also given us the assurance that we can al- > so know that we are His. He says, "His sheep know His voice and follow Him.” Also He has given us many other assurances in His word as to how we can know whether or not we are saved. One of these references is I John (5:13. R.V.) "But these are written that ye may know that ye have eternal life, even unto you that believe on the name of of. Son of God.” Won’t you let Him become your Shepherd today?

' The Rappahannock County Chapter is organizing a Diaster Program with Bruce Bowie of Washington, as chairman. They plan to purchase sufficient equipment to take care of a disaster should one strike in our county. We read in the papers and hear over the radio -of tornadoes striking other localities ! and we in Rappahannock should bear in mind that one _could strike here. —The Red Cross Home Service is an immediate contact between a service man and his family in an emergency, whether the service man is stationed in the United States or overseas. This is one of the major services of the Red Cross. The Rappahannock County Chapter took care of many Home Service calls last year. It costs money to give the citizens of Rappaannock these Red Cross services. We urge every citizen of Rappahannock these Red Crqss services. We urge every citizen to become a member of this great organization. It is hoped that all subscribers to the drive will be as generous as possible and try to increase their donations of last year. Our Red Cross Chapter is what we make it, so let’s have a chapter everyone can be proud of. We hope the 1954 slogan: “Answer the Call— Join and Serve” will reach every citizen in the county. —'Mrs. Kathleen Lawrence County Chairman Peola Mills News _Miss -Phyllis Updike of Madison College spent the fceek end with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. E.
