L^J'jJ.A.:'. O ■ O O— Listening to L. J. bemoaning the fate of the Washington State / apple growers from the freezing weather they 'have been haying, when Ned spoke up and told him he knew just how sorry he felt for their loss — there were several understanding smiles in the crowd after that remark. o o o o ; 1 was reading the replies to one of the inquiring reporters from a daily paper the other day. The question had been asked of several people, what would they do for a vacation if money was no object. AH kinds of answers were forthcoming——go to Paris—*go to Bermuda—go to Florida and follow the Horse races—go to Hawaii etc., but the one that took my fancy as coming from a JREAL AMERICAN was spend two weeks in Yellowstone National Park in a tent, close to nature's beauty. The only way I know of to improve on his desire would be a few days or weeks just loafing somewhere up in the mountains that can be seen from the back window of bur shop. V O \J if What's come over the people of Washington to make them so efferent from other people. I read an article in a Richmond paper the other day where our mayor had stated that the Town of Washington had money, but the people of the town would not ask for anything so the money could be spent.

W- . ¥ ■■ ¥ 4-H’er Of The Month Jackie Sisk, son of Mr. and Mrs. Milton Sisk of Sperryville, has been chosen 4-H’er for the month of May. Although Jackie is only 14 years old he has been a member of the Sperryville 4-H club for 3 year and is now a active member of the Washington Sr. 4-H Club. Jackie’s long suit in 4-H is his interest in livestock. He has taken a wide variety of projects in his 4 years of club work and has completed very good work in all of them. His principal work has been with sheep. Starting with 5 ewes in his farm flock project four years *go he hasr increased his sheep number to 12 and 14 lambs. He will show and sell his lambs again this year at the Harrisonburg 4-H Lamb Show and Sale. He has shown a net profit of $214.20 on his sheep in addition to collecting $50.00 in prize money. Jackie received pair of electric shears in his sheep project and has attended the 4-H sbeep shearing school each year; consequently he shears his own sheep and has placed second in the sheep shear mg contest at Warrenton this year. For this honor he has won an expense paid trip to Staunton for two days schooling and participation in the state contest. i In 1951# Jackie started with a purebred Poland China Gilt in the Sears, Roebuck pig chain. The next year he was awarded first prize of $60.00 for doing the best job of caring for his sow and litter. This prize money was used to purchase a Holstein Heifer which widened his experience In livestock. He has cared for 100 hens for several years and the profit they, have shown is a good indication that Jackie has -learned something about poultry. Raising corn helped him to get a better idea of live-v stock production. --- Jackie has completed 10 projects in his 4-H work. Not only have his livestock numbers been on ,the increase but the quality of his animals as well. His records show a net profit of $512.60 on his - projects along with $112.00 in prize money. Besides being a member of the team that represented the county in the sheep shearing contest Jackie is also a member of the Rappahannock Livestock Judging i teams. The team trained at the school in Madison, at Front Royal, and worked out on herds in the county in preparation for the contest in Staunton. > To quote Jackie—"I have enjoyed my 4-H work so far and will continue to be a member as long as | can. i* :?r. -,*. >> ;■ "*/: S > A\/4i Miss Racer Reigns As Queen of May In Friday’s Festival Miss Lois Racer and Harold Brown will reign as Queen and King of the May in the annual May Day program at Rappahannock County High School, presented this year on Friday, May 14 at M a.m. Maid of Honor, to her majesty, the queen, is Miss Shirley Williams.

L. Parrish farm near Estes, 2:00 p. m. at Woodrow Coughlin’s farm near Castleton. On Saturday, May 15th, a tour will be made of C. E. Johnson’s farm at Sperryville. The Extension Agronomy Committee is very much concerned over: the immuch of our county’s farming land; the lack of a legume-grass hay mixtures in crop rotations; the small amount of land devoted to Alfalfa production; and the lack of know-how in controlling insects doing much harm to crops. Farmers attending these farm • tours can see what these men are doing and how they do it successfully. While some of the things are identical many other shpw a different approach. Why should one man using the same kind of seed, seeded at the same rate, fertilized and limed the same and grown on the same kind of soil have a stand of alfalfa or clover that is 15 to 25% more productive? No one can make you do any job better. No one can operate your farm better than you yourself can ... you are far more aware of your problems than is , any one else. The'desire to do better must first come frrom within. There are many who are willing to help. Many who are helping others. Some do not seek and do not find* SPERRYVILLE MAY DAY PROGRAM USES "GOOD HEALTH” AS THEME From the cornation of the lovely Health Queen to the parade of ~5-pointers, Sperryville Elementary School’s May Day, Friday evening, was a unique salute to the virtue ‘Good Health’. •The auditorium was crowded to capacity with parents, and school youths filled the remaining chairs and lined*the walls.

In voting against the issue, the Boards Chairman, J. P. Cook, voiced the - belief that this 10c levy was not sufficient to serve its purpose. a At the beginning of this meeting, the minutes of the last regular meeting of the Board were read, upon request, to clarify the “purpose of the tax levy.” After a brief discussion, it was decided that the fund collected from the levy, about $3,500 a year, will be; used for no pre-designated plan, but for any school emergency, which might arise. Q. D. Gasque, too, felt that this was a more flexible, working plan. It was expressed, however, that the money be saved to buy equipment for a new school. From the floor, E. M. Jones, asked that the money be put to some use so as tq* gain- interest. This proposal was not acted upon. Following some further discussion, the budget with the levy inclusive, was adopted.

' 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 b| a. Willis robertson , LARGER HOSPITAL FUND WILL BE RECOMMENDED Under Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare Nelson Rockerfeller told our Appropriations Subcommittee last week that the President would send a special message to the Congress asking that $75,000,000 be provided for, Federal aid to hospital construction in the riext fiscal year instead of the $50,000,000 proposed in the President’s budget message or the, $65,000,000 appropriated for this year. The proposed increase would mean that Virginia’s allotment for next year would amount to $2,230,318 compared with $1,479,068 available under the budget figure but information given our „ committee by Dr. Cronin, Chief of the Hospital Construction Division of the Public Health Service indicated this still would fall far short of what would be needed to carry out the full program which has been proposed by the Virginia State. Health Department. Dr. Cronin said the Virginia Department had reported twelve projects as eligible federal aid next year. These would provide _390 additional general hospital beds, 200 additional—beds for tuberculous patients and five new public health centers. The total cost of these projects was estimated at $8,460,000 and the federal government’s share of this, on 3 basis of matching funds on practically a 50-50 basis would be $4,653,000. That; is more than twice the allotment which could be expected under the President’s new recommendation. Neither the . House nor Senate committees have so far acted on the hospital appropriation item. Desirable as it would be to get on quickly with the program of building badly needed hospitals, of doubling federal aid for highways and continuing all the other types _of aid to state activities, we cannot ignore an increasingly difficult budget situation, wherein the federal government will have to -borrowifor an indefinite period the aid it grants tostatesthat arc in a better financial condition than" the central government. Simply because states do not repay federal aid it is .erroneous to assume the people of a state are receiving free money. They must repay to the federal government in taxes and long before money now being borrowed by the federal government for state aid has been repaid interest charges will have far exceeded the principal. The House so far has acted on six departmental appropriation bills and has six more and the foreign aid bill still to handle. The net effect of the six bills, which have been sent to the Senate is to reduce spending £1,787,479,611 below the President’s budget recommendations. But, $1,202,804,514 of that amount was in defense appropriations which may not only have to be restored to the budget level but might have to be increased if the international situation does not improve. . When Secretary of State Dulles returned frofn the Geneva Conference last week it seemed apparent that our- two principal allies—Great Britain and France—were unwilling to unite with us in positive action against Communist aggression in IndoChina or anywhere else. If we find at the end of the Geneva Conference that there are no strong allies ready to stand firm with us when the chips are down, our foreign policy will have to be revised and spending for defense forces of our own will have to be measurably increased. - These facts give point to the recent statement of former President Herbert Hoover that the budget deficit next year may be as high as $7 billion and that this is therefore not a proper time for future tax cuts regardless of the desirability of revising the tax code.

A cedar tree in the Rowzie cemetery, a power transformer, two hundred yards from the ceme-_ tary and an oak tree in the Rowzie yard were damaged. The lightening ran down the cedar tree and dug a trench over a foot deep in a grave at the base of the tree; then jumped to the iron fence which surrounded the cemetery and ran out from each of the four comers twenty five feet, leaving a furrow of loose earth and sod several inches deep. In the basement of the Rowzie residence, all of the fuses were blown; one blowing the metal box open was thrown across the room. Telephone and power service was disrupted several miles away and numerous telephone fuse box covers were blown off the walls of houses. Eyewitnesses nearby said they had observed a huge cloud of dust ' around the scene of the strike. People a mile away claimed that a noise similar to a shot gun blast was heard as the charge traveled over the wires.
