An Xray will take only a few moments, you don’t have to undress and of course, you don’t even feel it. The mobile chest X-ray unit will ■be in Washington, at the Health De- * partment, May 11, from 12 noon to 8 p.m. ] ~in Sperryville at the Elementary School from 9 a.m. to 5 p. m. on May 12; and in Flint Hill at Bradford's Store, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on May 13. Contact the following persons, if you wish to make an appointment for the x-ray clinic. Welfare Office, Washington, Va., Phone-2381; Mrs. G. W. Smith, Flint Hill, Phone 2579; Mrs. Jack Weaver, Sperryville, Phone 3695; Mrs. John Davis, Woodville, Phone 3753; Mrs. Floyd Hitt, Amissville; .Mrs. Havannah Jeffries, Washington, Phone Sperryville-3863. If you have failed to make an appointment, do not hesitate to attend this clinic; come anyway. This is the second time the x-ray unit has been in Rappahannock and the health department requests that every person take advantage of the opportunity and have an x-ray. All farmers are urged to see that their tenants avail themselves of the opportunity on one of these dates. (Note the 12 noon to 8 p.m. date) ..Mass x-ray surveys are being con-" ducted to (determine more accurately* the total extent of the overall problem. of tuberculosis and $he,,real> magnitude" of its incidence hi areas of greater than average morbidity. This knowledge will make possible - more‘prompt and effective (therefore, more economical) utilization of tion-wide effort aimed at virtual -eradicat'kjiir'Fo'rthe~first~'t'iffieTn"hTs-' lory total eradication loom's as a truly feasible goal in' the United States, due to (1) the tremendous reduction in mortality rate which has already taken place in the -past fifty years, (2) modern methods of education and communication (by which all segments or tne population can readily be reached) and (3) the recent technical triumph of minifilm. The need for a thorough case-finding program as an important preliminary step in a total eradication campaign should be apparent. In the past a great number of cases of tuberculosis have been found to have had faradvanced disease by the t&ne they were first diagnosed. Many, if not most of these, had consulted their physicians months or years before their symptoms 'became sufficiently definite or intense enough to suggest tuberculosis as a possible cause, either to them or to their physicians. Other persons become spreaders of infection months before they become ill, or ill enough to consult a physician. - Careful studies have shown that examination of clo'se contacts to communicable cases of tuberculosis uncovers only about 25 per cent of the new cases reported each year; i.e., three out of four cases are derived from the apparently healthy population about whom there was no pre-' vious record of exposure to any known case. It has been reliabily estimated that for every known case of active tuberculosis in the United States, there, is at least one unknown active case. Moreover, the best way to protect children from tuberculosis is to x-ray their parents and all other * close adult associates. Obviously large scale chest x-ray surveys must be carried out sooner or 1 later throughout the apparently healthy population, if the public is to jbe protected from exposure to these hidden cases of tuberculosis and if tuberculosis is to be eliminated as a serious public health problem within a comparatively short span of years, * •' * - < u * ' ... ■■■' . *' \'r ’' 1 Chief8 Take Opener From Flint Hill A.C. Pitchers Sisk and Settle led the Rappahannock Fire Chiefs to a 7-6 victory over the Flint Hill A. C.’s in a close, well-played game on the Flint Hill diamond Sunday afternoon. Osborne Mills, A.C.’s, record of three hits out of five times alt bat, gave him the batting honors while “Sissy” Corder of the A.C.*s and Sonny Brown of the Chiefs with two runs apiece, crossed home plate for the most runs. -7From the beginning of the game the Chiefs surged ahead, scoring 2 runs in the first inning; 1 in second; 1 in third; 2 in fourth; and 1 in the fifth. The A. C.’s brought in their first run in the third and had their best inning of the game in the fourth with three runs driven in; 2 more came in during the fifth and sixth innings. McGarthy was the losing pitcher. There was a large crowd on hand to cheer the teams on in their opening game of the 1954 season.

Supervisors Discuss Plans For Home For The Aged The Rappahannock Board of Supervisors in their May meeting appointed the Welfare Board to represent them in discussions on the proposed home for the Aged and ’Chronically 111, reviewed the tentatiye road budget and discussed various— smaller matters. The decision to enter into discussion concerning the proposed home . does not com it Rappahannock cither one way or the other; it merely says that the county would like to look further into this matter, before making any definite, binding vote on the issue. From time to time the board from the Welfare Department will report back to the Board of Supervisors, as to the progress and direction of the plans. A motion was made by Supervisor Wood to discontinue the program of allowing money for “investigating and travel from,” afforded a commonwealth > attorney. This discussion was introduced when a bill was presented by Commonwealth Attorney W. F. Moffett for the above mentioned expenses. Several of the supervisors seemed to have interpreted the salary of the commonwealth attorney to include such expenses. However, it was stated that the practice of alloting this money had been .practice^ ^ over a period of years. The discussion was tabled until the next meet-'ing of the supervisors when the commonwealth attorney will quote the law on such a practice, and when and why it was adopted in Rappahannock. , Early in die meeting, A. C. Latham made a motion “to appoint road viewers, one person from each dis- j trict, to view all the -proposed”roads in the county, with not less than three to act.” Thus instead of being drawn only from the interested district, the committee would be drawn from the county, allowing a more overall look at the situation. This motion was —seconded b^ W. 'Cr Campbell and-ap--— proved by the Board. * . P. D. Coldiron, Resident Engineer, * presented the tentative road budget for the 1954-1955 year. It was discussed and approved. Coldiron reported that the road viewers on the committee appointed to view the section of route 630, had sent in a negative report on the matter of including it in the secondary system. The reason presumed was that there were too few persons making permanent residence in this vicinity., No action could be taken on this report as it had not been officially signed by the viewers. It was decided to “do what was necessary towards guaranteeing the 30 foot right of way at the Amissville School. This would be added to the resolution discussed in a previous meeting. Roland Welch was awarded a sheep claim of $20; and George Devers, one of $50. The sheep belonging to the— two men had seemingly been attacked by the same dogs. This matter was ■ investigated by game warden, C._ Ennis Brown. i Missionary Society Meets With Mrs. Bradford The Flint Hill Missionary Society met at the home of Mrs. ./M. R.

RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBUSHED 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 FIGHT STILL TO COME ON FARM LEGISLATION Senate debate last week on the wool bill represented merely a preliminary skirmish on the broad question of what should be done about agricutural price supports. Administration leaders promised the Senate an early opportunity to consider a general farm bill and after the Senate had passed the bill making special provisions to encourage production of wool, rtw>. ■Q^qpaa^LjJbttJHo.ttafe_ Agriculture Committee indicated no action would be taken on this bill by the House until after a general bill had been considered. The major question at issue is whether price supports for basic cross now fixed at 90 percent of parity should be placed on a flexible sliding scale basis next year, as provided in the present law, pr whether the effective date of this change should be deferred for one or more years. The Agricultural Adjustment Act, passed in 1938 was intended for the dual purpose of helping farmers to obtain prices which would keep their purchasing power on a fair level _compared <o other portions of the popuation (which is the “parity” concept) and assuring consumers an adequate and steady supply of commodities at fair prices. -sr -phis law was important factor in encouraging American farmers to produce enough food and fibre to •world’s population during an<f after World War II because they were assured that when hostilities ended there would not be a sudden drop toward the depression levels of 1932 when wheat brought 38.2 cents a bushel, corn 31.9 cents a bushel, hogs, 3.3 cents a pound, cattle, 4.2 a pound, cotton 6.5 cents a pound and tobacco 10.5 cents a pound. In 1948, when export markets were disappearing and surpluses accumulating, the law was amended, putting farmers on notice that the level of future price supports would depend upon their willingness to keep production in line with consumer demand. The whole picture changed, however, when the Korean War started in 1950 and the effective date of the change in the price support law was postponed" while farmers again were urged to increase their production. Since the end of fighting in Korea crop surpluses again have been. accumulating at a disturbing rate but I Ibelieve it is only fair to recognize that in making their plans for future crops many farmers were influen^ ced by the 1952 campaign promises of ^improved, export markets and other “programs* to remove existing surpluses without interfering with commercial markets. However, these programs have not materialized, and instead of the predicted expanded program of “trade? not aid," there will be difficulty in obtaining even a one year extension of the present Reciprocal *-*Trade Agreements Act which expires next * month—an Act which the Randall Commission said must be liberalized, if it is to fee effective in promoting foreign trade. There is therefore, a reasonable basis for the arguments of those farmers who point out that their buying power dropped eight percent from 1952 to 1953 ahd who say that •before they are hit another blow by RAPP - GHATS By: W. H. Lyse , County Agent | Twenty-five Rapphannock sheepmen have said they will put a total of 711 Iambs in the spring lamb sales to be held in May, June and July at Front oyal Livestock market. While lambs are very ununiform in .size brought about by wide variation in lambing dates as an indirect result of the drought enthusiasm is keen. The idea of organized spring lamb ssales was first concerned and bom here in Rappahannock County. The idea has now grown to the extent that sheepmen, from Clark, Fauquier and Page have joined in with Rappahannock and Warren Counties in this efort to improve prices through improved packaging^ and marketing._ It is said that-we- need to “dean our own back yard first.” Sheepmen have become careless of late when it comes to producing a nice attractive product in their lambs. Recent farm fock inspections revealed between 40 and 50% of our lambs have not been docked or castrated. The reason for this is that there has been no variation in price grade between docked and castrated lambs and those that have not been. While the price for a blue circle ram lamb and the price for a blue circle whether lamb may be the same keep foremost in mind that about 40% more of our male lambs wil grade higher when castrated at the proper time than will be the case if this job is neglected. Other reasons or castrating t ram lambs is that they usually dress out a higher percentage of meat and produce more saleable carcasses. . _ If our orgaanized lamb sales are to be a success we must satisfy and hold buyers. Then too, the later in the season the more advantage castrated lambs have. Buck lambs are more removal the existing price supports for basic crops more progress should be made toward a permanent solution of our agricultural production problem. I That solution, in my opinion, must depend upon expanded markets because in the long run rigid price supports and the restrictions on production which they will entail can only mean stabilized poverty for our small farmers ^VE YOU HEAR/), ! ! WARRENTON . LITE CLEANERS and LAUNDRY OFFERS YOU A COMPLETE DRY CLEANING AND LAUNDRY SERVICE ALSO STORAGE VAULTS Mr. Russell Hitt will start weekly pickup service to Washington and Amissville Monday, May 3 with delivery on Thursday /• BLACKWELL DAVIS, Proprietor ing keeps lambs cleaner,^ tey present a neater appearance to buyers and you should hear the sheepmen squawk when is properly packaged jobs have long taied lambs mixed in with his. According to George Litton, “Docking is more a matter of pride than money.” Castrating is definitely a money maker.” — JEarly in the season prrice spread between grades is never as wide as it is in the late summer and early fall months. You can keep your late born lambs in the upper price level by docking and castrating now. The wise sheepmen no longer worry about flies or screw worms now tha» we have EQ 335 on the market. Incidentally Lea Bros, at Washington and Rappahannock Supply have agreed to make this product available to you. It was formulated by the Bureau of Animal Industry, U.S.D.A. and their research showed it to be much more effective than Smear 62. While Smear 62 is a good product if you don’t have either on hand be sure to get a bottle as screw worms appeared in. two flocks at Flint Hill two weeks ago. EQ 335 is also excellent in keeping screw worms away from the naval of new bom calves. Use a small paint brush and daub the hair around the calve’s naval well; in docking lambs daub EQ 335 into the open wound and around the wool on the dock.

I H-D Work Answers Need O f Women (l The lot of the farm woman has never been an easy one. But she has come a long, way since 1913 when the . .... Secretary of Agriculture wrote to J the wives of his crbp reporters. He wanted to know how the department of Agriculture could better serve farm women. They answered his let—ter, 2,241 of them wrote loneliness, isolotion, lack of social and educational opportunities were their problems. For example, “In all these years . I’ve never had a vacation—just work... ed early and late with a snatch for reading in between. The greatest need of the farm wife is inspiration,” Help organize get together clubs for information and cooperation. At the same time the Smith-Lever was being considered by Congress and became a law in 1914. The Extension > Service was established which includes the home demonstration pro... gram in which the U. S. D. of Agriculture, the state land grant colleges and the local county governments cooperate. .Now o million women take part in home demonstration work in 62000 communities. About half of these women belong to home demonstration clubs organized to help them get the most from epclpnsion education. The other half receive help through the Home Demonstration Agents in some other way. More than half still live on farms. Women, who take part in home demonstration work to what ever seems most important to them in jmproving their homes Or helping their families. - In Rappahannock 249 homemakers belong to home demonstration clubs and estimated that 460 of farm families and 274 non farm families are reached through extension either 4-H or H. D. Long Time Goals—For the past ;; two or three years the clubs have been working on three long time goals: 1. Youtfi and Community Recreation. 2. Housing—with emphasis on improving living rooms, kitchens and adding water and bathrooms. 3. Improving Home Crounds. 4 This year .pur federation goal is citizenship. Study of state govern. ment—How liw is passed, et<§ However, with our citizenship goal, special emphasis is being placed on work with 4-H’ers and on recreation for the communities, as well as promoting better international understanding through “Pen Women” and talks by IFYE students.

R. Hudson, Slate Mills; Mrs. Carl Carpenter, Huntly; Mrs. Clarence Baldwin, Washington; Mrs. Ralph Rowzie, Amissville; Mrs. James Massie and Miss Nellie Johnson. I’m certain any of these ladies will be glad to show you their new chairs and tell you all about them. Chair reseating that is split or cane chairs seats were put in by Ajnissville and Woodville groups. Mrs. Woodrow Coughlin, Miss Nellie Johnson and Mrs. Mabel Lillard will show you the big improvement that can be made by sanding the floors and refinishing them in the natural color. Improving the working conditions of your kitchen—that is placing your equipment and storage cabinets for least amount of steps in your daily meal planning and preparing, and brightening your kitchen workshop with your favorite coldrs in wall covering, cabinets and floor coverings. Mrs. H. J. Racer in Washington and Mrs. Luther Stuart are completely remodeling their kitchens this year. Mrs. Anne Thompson has installed water recently. Ask her how much time as well as labor is saved by this investment. Improving appearance of the home grounds. It is a pleasure to ride through the county and see improvements being made that were .planned several years ago and to watch different shrubs and plants grow to give desired effect. Seventeen families are continuing to work on the outside improvement. These vary from planting annuals for quick showing color to long time planning the home grounds. Long time plans have been made recently for^the home grounds of Mrs. Ray'S, m<?nd Johnson. She i*- terracing her yard and replanting the >hrubs and perennials she already.^# to a tetter —advantage.

He proclaimed the prophecy of more .than 3 years of drouth, with neither rain nor dear a$a judgment of - God , upon Israel for their wickedness and idol worship. After Elijah made his prophecy and pronounced the judgment he disappeared as dramatically as he had appeared. Elijah was hidden by Jehovah aand miraculously cared for by the ravens* until the brook dried up and he was -then directed to stay with the Widow of Zarepath. Now this widow was blest in many ways by Jehovah for her part in caring for the Prophet. After about 3 years Elijah appeared again in Ahab’s court and charged him to be the cause of the people worshipping Baal. This took a lot of courage; but Elijah knew God was with him in this matter. He cried out unto all the people and said, “How .long halt ye between two opinions ”_ That is, how long are. they going to be undecided in. serving Jehovah orw» SAVE 20% ON 1954 ELGIN WATCHES At C.

Davis Street * CULPEPER Baal. They had been doing both as many people are doing today* serving mammon and in outward appearance appearing to serve God. To settle this indecision, Elijah called for a very dramatic test of the power of each god. The prophets of Baal, which were several hundred and the people were to gather on Mt. Carmel, with only Elijah representing Jehovah. Here they would prepare two sacrifices and the God who answered to the prophets’ prayers with fire would be the God to worship. The prophets of Baal prepared their sacrifice but no fire came and lighted >the altar. Elijah made sport of them telling them to cry louder, maybe Baal was asleep or away but still no fire came. Then he went over to the simple altar he had prepared and commanded that it be drenched with water so as to avoid any possible suspicion of someone setting fife to the sacrifice, and he then offered a simple prayer to Jehovah imploring God to vindicate his faith in Him by sending fire. The fire immediately came and consumed the sacrifice; altar, and licked up the water in the trench about the altar. This established the fact that ffe is God and that He does answer the prayer of His faithful servants. This aso revealed that Baal is nothing but an idol having ho power whatsoever.----~ . A$ the God> of parity, holiness-, and righteoifsnesS. He is also the Gover-' nor of the universe and as such, is the God of Judgement and destruction upon those who refuse Him anad spurn His love. There are several lessons we receive from this lesson on Elijah and Ahab. First, of all God is alive and all governments are subject unto Him. If they honor. Him, they are blest of him, if not the axe of judgment must invariably fall upon them sooner or later. Another lesson is: In times of stress and national bpostasy God is able to raise up men who are not afraid to call men back to God. Another is: They who dare to be brave for God may safely trust Him for protection. We also learn how great may be the power of aft individual life. In times of national apostasy God is busy preparing His instruments for His Work. It is general y under a deep sense of sin, or through deep waters, that God leads to*real acquaintance with the truth. This He did to Israel through the famine and die Prophet Elijah. Idolatry in any form is a curse to any people whether k be king or layman.

Jackson at Front Royal Rappahannock at Oak Grove ' Middletown at Flint Hill FUSSELV-YOUNG ICE CREAM COMPANY Cvlpapwr, Virginia County Agent \ Many of our brainy people say an economy of plenty is much better than economy of scarcity and far Ibe it from rile to question that belief. No doubt most Americans, whether they have Been outside of all U. S. A. or not will agree that living conditions here are much better than in some of the famine stricken countries of the world. For sure HI never forget seeing six men dive for a slice of white bread into a barge filled with garbage from the Queen Mary while enroute to Australia during World War II. I also learned during World War II how delicious a slice of dry bread really is but not as positively as those men at Cape Town. Never had I seen such a demonstration of hunger before, haven’t since and hope I never will. Both economies create problems however, and the problem of our abundance is Where Will Our Farmers Store the 1954 Small Grain Crop? Here is the way I got the picture of~ the problem and what the individual farmer can do to help himself. uur country (you and me) has about seven and a half million dollars invested in public storage facilities for 850 million bushels of wheat and 900 million bushels of com. In 1953 produced a billion one hundred ninety million bushels of wheat and a billion two hundred million bushels of corn and a billion two hundred million bushels of oats. With wheat acreage allotments for the 1954 crop year farmers seeded the diverted acres to another small grain—oats, barley, rye and thus the total bushels will be about the same. In 1953 common public storage was found available for 1,565,000 bushels. The 1954 small grain crop Virginia wise is space available shorter than usual because of the carry over. Boats in James River , and Chesapeake Bay are full—but few more are available, many public storages are full. While small grain, especially wheat is not generally thought of as a cash crop in Rappahannock our farmers had difficulty in finding storage space last year. Nearby elevators were filled from crops maturing ahead of us because of an earlier season. Some wheat had to be sold on a glutted market, other crops hauled to Balti—more. As sure as night is coming so is small grain harvest. You planted within your allotment and seeded oats or barley—it is your problem and up to you to solve it. You have about 60 days to do so. What can you do r Remodel storages or buildings on hand or build. Last year newly constructed farm graneries paid for themselves because of the greater price farmers received later in the year than was available at harvest time. A thous- < and bushel storage cost is reported to cost 15.8c per bushel" including fixed and variable costs for a six months period. Construction costs may vary from 30 to 70c per bushel storage capacity. Prices by fall or .winter are expected to be 30-75c per ■bushel better than at harvest time this year. Our government has provided price supports based on quality or grade when stored—this grade must be maintained. You can’t maintain grade without proper storages. Government, loans through A. C. S. are available for 80% of construction costs of approved .structure 4% iqterset for a period of four years. To get "price supports a . farmer must: .1. Comply with acreage allotment. 2. Meet wheat grades specified. 3. Have adequate storage. Remember public storage is short because of the carryover—when grain* is stored on your farm it is entirely your responsibility to maintain grade. Loan are also available for drying equipment at 4% for 75% of cost (new equipment only) for a 4 year period, • Basic requirements of good storages are: ? 1. Sound floor free of moisture 2. A weather, bird, rodent proof structure. 3. A building easily cleaned and 4. One that permits fumigation, f Remember wheat is food—it is your responsibility to keep it clean. Damage from the grainmoth and rice weavil can be controled with fumigation—grains can be protected through the use of pyretherum preparation—on the market D. D. T. and Methoxichlor can be used in ridding existing storages of grain damaging insects-—clean them qut now and burn ^he refuse—then spray walls, etc. i Fumigants recommended are the 3 in 1 and 4 in 1 mixtures—6 gallons required per 1000 bu. grain. Cooperative storage may be answered for a group of small producers. Control rats—kill em with warfarin—it gets the mice too. Keep : sparrows, pigeons out of your granery. They all leave thefr ’'calling cards.” REAL ESTATE * <ur« prospect* for Ail Kinds of Property' W. A. MILLER Local Broker WASHINGTON, VA.
