One of the members of the church visited there recently and noticed that 2 large wooden-bottom arm chairs, and one of the chairs from the pulpit—black, cushioned back and bottom—have been removed from the church. Anyone having information as to where these chairs are is asked to notify Mrs. Henry v— Cannon, Woodville, RFD -or call Washington 2851. : ; ir O O O O v - Noticed recently that some of the fire plugs in Washington had been painted—wonder when any of them have been tested to see if the are in working condition? {o o o o When Spring is here and everything seems right with the world, ideas of a home for the aged in their “fall” years seem unnecessary and — :even impolite when they butt into our more pleasant daydreaming. Too, the days when we may have to lean on -just ^uch a home, seem distant All" this is tommyrot . . . It’s not only the responsibility of every citizen to be interested in plans for a home, it’s our privilege.

Be there next Friday night, April 2 to discuss its possibilities. Don’t say you’re too busy. Thatfls a 'feeble excuse when such an issue is at stake.

RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At Washington, Rappahannock Cobnty Virginia DIAL WASHINGTON 2851 - — — ■■■!■■■ ■■■■■■■ ■■■■■ 1 BRUCE S. BOWIE...Publisher Entered as second-class mail matter at the post office at Washington, Virginia SUBSCRIPTION: fin advance) . $2.00 a year Letter To The Editor The Town Council of the Town of Washington, Virginia, has design^ ated Tuesday, April 20th as Cleanup Day. As in the past, during the Clean-up Campaign, we are seeking the co-operation and support of all business and civic organizations connected with the town, as well as each individual citizen, to make it a success. Last year during the campaign a citizen suggested that we encourage everyone to plant at least one dogwood. Since, it was too late at that time to follow through with the idea we hope to see it realized this year. Roy Henzel, the assistant County Agent and Fred Hutchinson, the FFA teacher have volunteered to supervise the 4-H and FFA Boys in getting the dogwood trees to he planted. These trees will be planted along the highway at the approaches to the town and at other points throughout the town. Also, these boys will help achieve the goal of one new dogwood on the premises of every citizen. If you are unaable to plant a dogwood at this time, call 2231 on or before April 10th and these boys will plant a tree for you on April 12th. Land owners with an abundance of wild dogwood have generously given permission for the trees to be gotten from their property. The Town Council wishes to express its appreciation for the cooperation that has made possible this beautification project. Sincerely, Dorothy C. Davis, Moyor. Learn To Take It Easy For some years now the nation has witnessed the sad results of “supers speeds" on the rural highways in the “super-accidents" they cause. Deaths have mounted in rural areas consistently, while in urban sections fatalities have remained at about the same levels or declined. The only valid reason seems to be that motorists, who definitely are not “Super-drivers" and therefore control the “super-speeds” of their vehicles are having far more accidents on the open road than in the days before the “horsepower race" began. Thomas N. Boate, accident prevention department manager of the Association of Casualty and Surety , Companies, who has watched this situation closely, believes there is a <iirect relationship between excessive speeds on rural highways and the rising tolls of death and injury in rural areas. In his opinion, a downward turn from the present steady upward trend cannot be expected until average speeds on rural highways diminish. “Drivers must learn to take it easy on the open highway if they want to live longer," he declares. What happens to the speeders, as related by Mr. Boate in the experience of one southwestern state •with ‘‘plenty of wide open spaces” and a 60 mile speed limit, provides some arresting facts for sober reflections on the 'benefits of "taking it easy.” Of all rural fatal accidents in that state, nearly 70 per cent can be traced to the speed factor. Twentyeight percent were head-on collisions which occurred when one or both drivers lost control at high speed, another 29 per cent were vehicles that ran off the roadway, four percent more overturned on the highways and another eight percent resulted from hitting a fixed object., Evidently the price of super-speds, like super-cars, comes very high! But fear of an accident alone won’t reduce the death toll. When the average driver is deterred from traveling at excessive speeds because he also fears loss of his driving license * or severe punishment in the counts for this major offense against public Safety, general improvement in the rural accident situation can be hoped for, according to Mr. Boate. Now, he iWaScMWOK arvmmm-mm as viewed by YOUR SENATOR A. WILLIS ROBERTSON McCarthy controversy IS HURTING U.S. ABROAD Toy headlines in Washington newspapers were given last week to developments in the dispute (between the Army and Senator McCarthy’s Investigating Subcommittee and little attention was paid to well documented speeches made on the Flocw of the Senate by opponents of Statehood for Hawaii. This was understandable, from a journalistic point of view and I do not criticize the papers for giving prominence to what they felt would appeal to the largest number of readers. Butr nevertheless, I feel the result was regrettable from a national standpoint on two grounds: First, because I feel more attention should be paid to the material threat of Communism in Hawaii, and second, because the controversy over methods used by some of those who have been v dealing with subversives in this nation gives! aid and comfort to the Communists abroad and discourages our democratic allies. I believe we must be constantly on the alert ]to identify and to remove from government service all Communists and prosecute under the Smith Act all who advocate -the overthrow of our Government by force or who would make us subject to alien control. I voted for the appropriation for the original Dies Committee on Un-American Activities and as a member of the House and the Senate I have voted for every subsequent appropriation for investi—gation of subversive or- un-atncrican activities. I also believe, however, that in conducting these investigations we must adhere to American methods, which means not only respecting Constitutional rights but also proceeding in the spirit of that great document which is based on recognition •of the sacredness of the rights of the individual. Even those who have generally approved of the activities of Senator McCarthy and felt he was doing a worthwhile job in his Committee activities have not attempted to defend the manner in which he question ed an Army officer who was obeying orders of his superiors in refusing to- 'answer certain questions and, unfortunately, this is the kind of incident which can be magnified and exploited abroad by those who are sympathetic .with Communism to discredit all our efforts to deal with subversives. The presen* open row in which Army officials accused Senator McCarthy and his committee staff of, using improper influence on behalf of an enlisted man and pursuing investigations possibly motivated by revenge because they did not get the. favors they sought and the countercharge that the Secretary of the Army and his legal advisor sought to “blackmair the committee is even worse. It goes beyond the question of methods and personal veracity. It involves who is to be in charge of the Republican Party—the President or McCarthy. When a member of a European Parliament makes a serious charge against a Cabinet memadds, too many drivers “go along”~m tthe tide of. speeders and are carried beyond their depth in the perilous moments of split-second emergencies. So, if you want to live, slow down! BEFORE FIRE STRIKES YOOR HOME^y i K-rjwr1' ****•<£» ber the Prime Minister must move for a vote of confidence and failing to get it _he and his Cabinet must resign. Our European allies can’t understand our method of handling such a contest. This controversy must be cleared up by a full and unbiased investigation to see who is telling truth and that testimony of sworn witnesses referred to the Justice Department for criminal action against any who were guilty'of perjury. In the meantime, let us remember that our main fight against Communism must be carried on in the war zones of Korea and Indo-China, in the streets of Berlin, in the villages of India, Indonesia and Burma, in Europe and Asia or wherever people are called upon to choose between the ideals of totalitarianism and of constitutional liberty. We Are the Red Cross What does the Red Cross mean to us? Suppose you child came home from school tomorrow, threw down his hooks and excitedly began to relate a tale of neighborhood tragedy and fear. “Daddy! Jimmy Jones has polio. The doctor says he won’t be able to play baseball on ohr team next year. Do you think he will ever play with us again?” You’d probably grasp for the best protection possible to prevent your son, or daughter, from being stricken with paralysis in the same way. That's where, the Red Cross comes in —with gamma globulin—and that’s just one of the many things that Red Cross means to you, your neighbor and the people who work around you. •• _The Red Cross means much more to you—and your gift and membership in Red Cross means aid to the. n^edy of war and natural disasters; of aid to the sick; succor and guidance to the war widow and her child. The Korean War is over. But thousands of those who fought it will lie for a long time in hospitals, some for the rest of their lives. The widows and children ...of some who fought it still bear the grief of conflict. The Red Cross is their com-* forter and guidance. The family whose home and possessions go with the flood or fire finds the friendly symbol of the Red Cross there to aid them—but only so long as all of us support the services the symbol represents—for WOE ar ethe RED CROSS. Your Red Cross membership contribution is the best possible insur-’ ance in time of well being against the tim? when tragedy strikes. > From the Virginia Journal of Education PITTS’ DRIVE-IN THEATRE FRONT ROYAL On Str&sburg Road THURS.-FRI., MARCH 25-26 « —- DOUBLE FEATURE — HENRY FONDA - HI - “MY DARLING \ CLEMENTINE” A ILONA MASSEY “Frankenstein Meets The Wolf Man” SATURDAY, MARCH £7 Bold Adventure Drama of THE ROARING WEST! — in — “APACHE WAR SMOKE” EDMOND O’BRIEN STERLING HAYDEN — in — “Denver & Rio Grande” TUES.-WED., MARCH 30-31 JOAN FONTAINE RAY MILLAND — in — “SOMETHING TO LIVE FOR” PARK THEATRE FRONT ROYAL TOURS., MARCH 25 BING CROSBY CLAUDE DAUPHIN — in — “LITTLE BOY LOST” FRI.-SAT., MARCH 26 V 27 JEFF CHANDLER MARILYN MAXWELL — in — N “EAST OF SUMATRA” (Color by Technicolor)) SUN.-MON., MARCH 28 - 29 TONY CURTIS JANET LEIGH ^ — in —The Great Dare-Devil! “HOUDINI” (Color -by Technicolor) ,TUES. - WED. - TOURS.

Can You Believe? ■ Rev. H. G. Thach 'Can you believe that God is making progress in His great effort to have His will done on earth? It is true that millions are not lending a hand in the work of creating and maintaining the spirit of brotherhood and good-will among men; but it is also true that millions are. We are a part of the active Church when we are numbered among those who believe, trust, and give time and money to the great work God is doing. We may * not flbe able to believe that God’s Spirit is active and beating the human pilgrimage on its way because we have lost the sense of His action in our own lives. It is the downfall of nations, but not of God, when the people, one by one, lose the sense of th peaee bringing activity iof the Holy Spirit.-God has not forsaken the people and He does prove Himself to every individual who believes. One who believes in God surely has the assurance that God is not going to be defeated in His plans for his world even though millions chose to sit on the side-lines and criticize. Yes, millions fall by the way-side because they stop believing that God proposes to have His will be done. , Plato, the Greek philosopher, said tva/tr? \ A homogenized -----T-- “ I process for drydeaned clothes! **£ iV* *£:**■ ■■'**"' ■ * % -■- ■-■- ■ That’s right!

The Holy Spirit and Mission* John 15-16 By Rev. G. M. Profitt In our travels with Jesus, we follow Him now as He and His little band leaves the upper room and heads for the garden. This 15th chapter was spoken somewhere- along the way to Gethsemane and most likely they were then passing along and ibeholdinrg the vineyards of Palestine as IhejT talked- He took the symbols the vine and applied it to Himself as the central source of strength, life and general supply to the branches. He then warned them as to their imperative need of being in Him in order to bear fruit for the Kingdom of God. Israel is referred to in various places as God’s Vineyard. Ps. 80:8, Hcsea 10:1; Is. 5, speaks of Israel as a grape vine bringing forth wild grapes and many other references are made by various authors. Now some people try to take this Chapter and prove the falling from grace idea, but Jesus had no reference to that. He knew all children when they are born and up to the age of accountability are covered by His grace, but each one must choose for himself as to whether he wants to serve Jesus or Satan. If we choose Jesus we are in the Vine-and will bear fruit as an evidence of our abiding in the Vine. But if we have only made a lifeservice confession and pur fruit is wild grapes instead of real cultivated ones then we aren’t in the vine and will be cast forth to be burned. After Jesus had spoken of the vine and the branches and of our dependence upon-Hitn^a^ the-souree^fall good and of all righteousness in life, He promised the Comforter as one who will sit alongside of us to strengthen, support and comfort us in our trials and persecutions /because of our witnessing for Him. He begins the 16th chapter with a warning about persecutipns. Some will persecute His followers because they think they are doing God a service in getting rid of these changes of traditious, etc. They will 'do this .4% ignorance because they do not really know God afld since they do not know Him, they are zealous for the established and conventional methods of worship. Their religion is not personal, but second hand-handed down from one generation to another and they seek to encase it in a system of hard and fast ritual in order to preserve it. Rut Christianity is a living organism and cannot be encased in any hard and fast ecclesiastical system. Their ignorance will not exempt them from punishment and responsibility. Now in verses 7-11 Jesus speaks of the work of the Holy Spirit. First of all He will reprove,the world of sin. “That is He will prick the conscience of men and convict them of sin. .Awaken them to the effects and results of sin. He will reveal to them that they are condemned because of unbelief in Christ and that their. only hope is in and through Christ as our Saviour through faith and repentance. The Holy Spirit will also convict the world-of righteousness, THE TIME FACTOR When you have a prescription to be filled, you want the medi. cine as quickly as possible. With full appreciation of this , desire, we reduce the time factor to the minimum by firing prescriptions the right of way. They receive the immediate .and undivided .attention of registered pharmacists - who proceed to compound the medicine with all the speed professional proficiency permits. ! Avoid annoying waits. {Bring your prescriptions to us for prompt service. v that is He will make man aware of his need of turning from evil to good. This good can come .only through Christ, not of ourselves, but of Christ. Then last He will convict the world of judgement. Men will be awakened to the fear of God’s judgement upon them if they continue in sin. -They will be made to *see that, “The wages of sin is death.” When we awaken to all these things we see , then our only hope is in Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection for us. We are living in a world of sin, but we can arise above it like the pond lily rises above the*mud, water and pond scum on top of the water to bloom in response to God’s love and sunshine, so can we rise above the scum of sin and bloom through the Holy Spirit in response to God’s love made manifest to us by Jesus’s death upon the cross. Won’t you let the Holy Spirit be your teacher and guide to turn you back to God and the Way?
