Rappahannock News, May 20, 1954

VOLUME 5—NUMBER 28 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY MORNING; MAY 20, 1954 Prte# U.OO PER YEAR With the handing down of the Supreme Court’s decision on "the equalization .of segregation,” the, United States has been issued into a new era, one* which of necessity must bring enlightment and understanding. Hesitantly Rappahannock views the era and hesitantly she considers the changes which this turn of progress make inevitable. Let us hope that we are beyond the prejudice of past generations, and will instead base our decisions and actions, not on such emotionalized prejudices but on right as we see it in this era. o o o o There’s a world of difference between “begging” and “asking” donations for a public organization. The former brings a sum in various denominations and the giver expects nothing in return. Depending on the mood you’re in, “begging” is either repulsive or it is pity arousing, thusprofitable for the beggar. An entirely different occurences is “asking for donations.” This is usually entered into by a volun . teer who offers bis services because he is in sympathy with the cause, and who derives no material compensation for his services. When you give to such a cause, as for example, the P.-T. A., «;the Fire Company, the Polio Fund or the Rescue Squad, you are giving not to the person soliciting, but rather to - an organization which provides you with the same protection as it provides the solicitor. You are hot giving out of mere chairty but as a security. Your contribution will help to raise funds for the cause and thus allow it to continue to protect you through its continued existence. .you are. approached and don't act so “put upon,” so “relucantly consenting.” To those tof you who have already reached this superior attitude, I extend my congratulations. o o o o Do you belong to an organization? Are you on hand at every major undertaking that it sponsors? Yes. So far,- so good. But here comes the'killer diller. Do you attend its meetings? No organization can long exist if there is not an active interested membership present to discuss the important, often times, duller details that must be discussed if the organization is to be strong. The Flint Hill Pareitts-Teachers Association has died; a slow death brought on by the common ailment which too often follows the enthusiasm of the first newness. All over the county there are organizations which are suffering from this common illness. It is not an abstract problem, for you are probably a disease carrier and the organization which is bn its death bed is yours. .. . o o o o Try the same question this week : .“What is the lowest recorded temperature in U.S., date & place? Garden Club Reception Mr. and Mrs. S. E. Hening will hold an informal reception to the members of the Rappahannock; Garden Club, their families and ' friends, Sunday afternoon, May 23, from three to six o'clock in their home, Apple Tree Cottage, the yard and flower, gardens in Sperryville. It is expected that the roses will be in full bloom at that time.

May Queen and Court at R. C. H. S. Winding around the lane from theschoolhouseto the athleticfield, a procession of lovely girls, handsome boys and cute little tykes makes its way to the athletic field opposite the Rappahannock County High School where annually the student body gathers to crown their chosen Queen of the May. Following her coronation, she does view many and marvelous feats of -bravery and strength performed. by her loyal subjects./ ’ Against a white latticework entwined with green leaves, Miss Lois Racer was crowned queen by her most noble squire, “King” Harold Brown, in the R.C.H.S. May Day Festival, Fridajr morn-, ing at 11 o’clock. The court attendants danced the “stately minuet,” and then the Rhythm Band rendered musical —selection. Four tiny ballet dancers gracefully expressed their talents before her majesty, the queen.. The Primary Grades presented the butterfly waltz and flowers and the American parade. The remainder of the May Day program . was conducted by the Physical Ed. Classes: first, gymnastics, skillfully performed, a square dance, making one’s feet itch to join the figure, rhythmical calisthenics and as a grand climax, the May Pole dance., With the recessional, the monK ing’s impressive' prograxh came to. a close. Behind the scenes a shivering youth grabbed a handy sweater, the lovely princesses shook off their pumps, and the stately prince loosened his tie and realized that he was hungry. :< ' Byrd Urges Caution, Mature Judgment On Segregation Issue The unanimous decision of the Supreme Court to abolish segrega-. tion in public education is not only sweeping but will bring implications and dangers of the greatest consequence. the most serious blow that ha$' yet been struck against the rights of the states in a matter vitally affecting their authority and welfare. : its previous decision directing “separate but equal” facilities for the education of both races. Nothing now remains for the Supreme Court to do except to determine the effective date and the method of the. application of its decision.. One of the cruel results arising out of this “about-face” of the Supreme Court is that the South- ~ ern States, accepting the validity of the previous decision in recent, years have expended hundreds of millions of dollars for construction of new Negro school facilities to conform with the policy preViously laid down by the Court. Great progress has been made at tremendous cost throughout the Southern States to carry out that which our Southern State Governments had the right to believe was the law of the land. This reversal by -the Supreme Court from its • “separate but equal” policy to complete abolition of segregation will create problems such as have never confronted us before. _ ' The decision will be deplored by millions of Americans, and, instead of promoting the education of our children, it is my belief that it will have the opposite~effecTin many areas of The country. Jn Vir~ ginia we are. facing now-a crisis o£— the first magnitude. Those in authority, and theparents directly affected in the education of their children, should exercise the greatest wisdom in* shaping our future course. Whatever is done should be based on our most matured judgment after sober and exhaustive consideration. Charles R. Brown Promoted To Sergeant ' 7th Division, Korea—Charles R. Brown, son of Mr. and Mrs. Maury W. Brown, Sperryville* was recently promoted to sergeant while serving in Korea with the 7th Infantry Division.

RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At Washington, Rappahannock County Virginia : DIAL WASHINGTON 2851 BRUCE S. BOWIE I' 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 ENCOURAGING REPORTS OF MEDICAL RESEARCH When Senator Clyde Hoey of North Carolina died in his of-' fice on Wednesday of last week he was the fifteenth member of the Senate to be taken by death since 1 became a member of this body in 1947. That is a high rate -of loos for a group which has only 96 members, even though many of them start their term of ser-~ vice, when they are in dramatic of loss for a group which has only the upper age brackets. My realization of this fact gave dramatic significance to testimony given on the same day by the Director of the National Heart Institute. Dr. James Watt told our Appropriations Subcommittee of a research program which has resulted in a major advance'in drug treatment of hypertension, which is one of the -most common ail-, ments of older persons. The ancient Greeks found that honey from flowers of the Rhododen-dron was poisonous and the American Indians recognized this bush, so common in our Virginia mountains, as the source of a -powerful and dangerous drug. It — was not- until recent experiments were sponsored by the NationalHeart 'Institute, however, that it was found that tiny amounts of extract from Rhododendron leaves would reduce blood pressure of normal animals and this, in turn, led to a technique for treating persons suffering from high blood pressure. Dr. Watt also told how a reduction is being made in -the number of young persons who contract rheumatic heart disease. Heart Institute research showed that there were anti-bodies in the blood of persons subject to this form of heart ailment which could be detected by tests before serious damage was done and this permitted production of this substance in the blood followed streptococcal infections and that if the first infection was treated with penicillin and the sulpha drugs it could be checked without leading to the heart damage. Ip one Ohio _community selected for a wide— spread test, Dr. Watt said this preventative program has produced dramatic results. At the same session of our committee, Dr. James A. Shannon, Associate Director of the National Institutes of Health, told us of advances made in the use of . Cortisone and ATCH for treatment of crippling arthritis. We were shown pictures of a ten year ■old girl, already deformed and practically helpless, who completely recovered after eighteen months of the drug treatment and who has atpw gone for three years without ■a recurrence of the disease and Is. able to go to school and le$d a normal life. I questioned Dr. Shannon closely as to the dangers of using these drugs and was told that there still is a shortage of medical, men trained to use them properly but most of the harmful side effects are temporary and can be largely avoided if the treatment is stopped promptly for those patients whom it does not suit. Dr. Shannon said it was believed that seventy-five percent of crippling arthritis cases can be prevented. when the new drug techniques are perfected. Another witness, Dr. Pearce Bailey, Director of the National institute for N etrr o 1 o g rc al Diseases and Blindness, told us of discovery of a substance which may give the relief to an estimated million persons who have epilepsy that insulin has done for diabetic sufferers. Instead of merely suppressing convulsions, as earlier drugs have done, this drug—Glutamine-—provides_a substance which may give the relief to an estimated million persons who have epilepsy and thus removefHEhe^ cause of the disease so long as it is taken regularly. The least encouraging report we had was that from Dr. Victor H. Haas, Director of the National Microbiological Institute, who said thljit in spite of continuing research efforts no one really knows what the common cold is, how to prevent colds or any specific treatment for colds. 10 While heart disease and cancer are the two big killers, the microbiological diseases disable more people than either of the big killers. Money spent in that type of research is well invested. .SQUALOR ON THEROADSIDES* _Is the . person who litters the roadside with trash invariably a monster ? Probably not. He is, of course,, if he loads his car with junk and deliberately deposits it along the highway under cover of darkness. The tourist who carelessly tosses the wrapper of a candy bar out of a car window may really be a decent human being led into error by the condition - of the roadsides as left by those who came ahead of him. But in this way the nuisance is compounded; we are all degraded by contributing to roadside squalor,, even moderately, or by tolerating, it. Sick and tired of the, litter and of the task of hauling it away, highway departments have begun to try to reason with people, appealing to pride and purse. .. The Missouri State Highway Department has invited drivers and passengers to throw a penny—or possibil? a nickel—out the win-# f dow with each piece of rubbish discarded, as a reminder of the cost of roadside cleanup. The new anti-litter film of the. Nebraska Department of Roads and Irrigation ... mixes persuasion, logic and ridicule . . . To all the education we suggest that a direct address to the pocketbook and to self-respect be added. Double vigilance, catch the worst offenders if you can, fine them and see that their names reach the editors of local papers. —Better Roads Magazine Nov. 1953 ' •*. v w.t-, 1,11 —— i ■ — . . _> . • » • Any man who aspires to power - without first becoming humble, is attempting to grasp the strength of the wind in his hand. To many the leaps of impulse are considerably greater than the bounds of reason, V Un-Comical Comic Books Comic books, of all things, have caused quite a stir recently in some congressional and publishing circles. The word “comic” is used loosely, of course. Comic books that are the concern of the Senate Judiciary sub-committee are far from the Mutt and Jeff type of humor. These particular "comic” books, concern crime, horror, lust and, brutality. They have come to be labeled “horror” comics. The committee’s investigation has centered largely in New York, where most of the horror comics are published. The reason for the investigation is the possibility that such comic books may have a harmful effect on children.Whether they do or not has not been clearly indicated-, but it is pretty well agreed ' that they are not doing any good. Richard Clendenen, the Senate Judiciary subcommittee’s staff director, testified that the reading of crime and horror comics will not make a well adjusted and well socialized child “go out and commit a crime,” but the disturbed child “may react” to the material. Dr. Harris Peck, director of the hureaurrofr mental healthr servicer for the Domestic Relations court, New York, agreed with this view. But Dr. Frederick Wertham, FOR GRADUATION UDY E16IN IIOSSOM 21 Jewels Was $71.50 now *57?2 „ CMJSAMR 19 jewels Was $65.00 now *5292 LOTUS 17 Jewels. Expansion Bracelet Wes $47 50 now *38°?

RUFUS W, WALL Jeweler t •• Front Royal, Virginia •' a psychiatrist, did not. According to Dr. Wertham, it is “primarily a normal child” who is harmed by “crime and horror comics.” v:;Most morbid children,” he said, “are wrapped up in their own fantasies.” _ i All of which brings us back to the point that this type of cornics certainly don’t do any good. Even William M. Gaines, who produces a million and a half copies of horror comics every month, says that, although he doesn’t think they do “a bit of harm.” To us, it seems unfortunate that any publisher is willing to take even the slightest risk of contributing to the nation’s delinquency problem. But if they don’t agree to do so voluntarily, the government may find it necessary to take measure - es to compel them to print only comics which can be considered wholesome. And that, definitely, would not be a good thing. Censorship, once it gets a stronghold, can spread. Small beginnings in other countries have lead to control of news and editorial pages. We can only hope that the comic book publishers will agree to discipline themselves. If they do, it should result in a healthier situation for the country as a whole, and the press in particular.

For instance the proper leg length and foot size mean not only attractive appearance and greater comfort but better wear, too. Other important points are denier; gauge and proper care. Women’s hose are sold by denier and gauge. Denier can influence your stockings. Stocking yam is made in 'rhariy different deniers - 12, 15, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 70 deniers. Denier is the weight and thickness of each thread. The higher the denier number the heavier and stronger the thread; 30 denier, for instance, is twice as heavy and twice as strong as 15 denier. ' Gauge describes the closeness of the stitches in the fabric. Knitting machines range from 39-72, high gauge such as 51 mean more stitches.

1 Killed, 3 Injured In Auto Accident One person was killed and three injured in an accident on route 211, Amissville, at 8:15 Sunday night, when a run away car crashed into a bridge abutment, hurled at a tree nearby and was completely demolished. The accident brought ,death to Ervin Jenkins, Jr., 23, c, of Bealton ; Jenkins’ neck was broken in the crash. ,The injured were treated on the scene by Dr. J. Russell Boldridge, and were then rushed to Physicians’ Hospital, Warrenton. Clifton Luther Washington, 27, c, of Midland, the driver of the car, and the son of Charlie Washington, suffered injuries of the chest and back, lacerations of the right arm and legs. His condition is reported as fair. Washington is now receiving treatment in Fort Belvoir Army Hospital. Miss Elinor Mae Woodson, 21, c, of Calverton, daughter of Lucille Woodson, underwent an amputation operation in the Warrenton Hospital after her right arm was cut off in the accident. She also suffered extreme cerebral concussion, shattering of the right shoulder blade and many cuts and bruises. Her condition is reported by the Warrenton Physicians’ Hospital as extremely serious. Miss Lucy Mae Wilks, 24, c, of Calverton, daughter of John Woodson Wilks of Emporia, was transferred to Freedman’s Hospital, Washington, D. C. following treatment for compound fracture of the lower left leg, cerebral concussion and minor cuts and bruises. Condition is reported as “fair.” Washington apparently lost control of the car, after he swung around the long curve. The group of Negroes had attended the baseball game at Pine Knot Inn and were probably enroute home. Amissville V.F.D. To Elect New Slate Of Officers With the announcement by Thomas Tear that he does not wish to serve another term as president, a new slate of officers is indicated for the Amissville V.F.D. Elections will be held during the next meeting of the department, June 2, and possible successars to PresidencETear as.well as other officials are being earnestly discussed by Amissvillians. In making his announcement during the May meeting, Mr. Tear declared that he felt he should be relieved of the burden he has carried since -the department was first begun, v . . v,\; “In only two years we have built a fine firehouse and will soon get a new fire engine to give this community adequate fire protection, ne saia. j. vc sci-vcu as president from the very beginning, and now that we are solidly established1 I think some. one else should take over the helm.” Other new officials for the department seem likely also. Walter Slavik, present secretary and chairman of the publicity committee, has declared he will not be a candidate for re-election. \ “Newcomers to this area like myself and President Tear have been prominent in the organization and establishment df the fire company, and I believe the time has come for the older residents to take over and assume a larger share of responsibility.” t During the May meeting President Tear appointed a committee 1 to arrange .amusement concessions for the Fall Festival to be held September 17 and 18. W. A. IJLaing, Jr., was named its chairman. He will be assisted by A. C. Latham, Jr., Ralph Rowzie, Charles D. Burrough and WiU Jr : 1 „ ' . ttj- ■ H liam R. Smith. Three new membership ap-, plications to the department were accepted at the meeting, bringing the total membership to over 50. The new members are Alan Poe, Roadcap Atkins Jr., and Silas Martin Jr. The membership voted approval of the purchase of some bats and balls for the Junior Auxiliary which has started a baseball team under the guidance of Alan Poe. In its first real contest the Amissville VFD Juniors licked a team from The Plains recently. Treasurer L. B. Stuart reported that donations in the department’s drive for money to buy a new fire engine were slowing up, and urged new efforts to build up the department’s finances._ Approval was given the Flint Hill VFD Ladies Auxiliary to use the firehall for a dinner Saturday, June 12. Several Amissville fire department members expect to attend the Northern Virginia Firemen’s Association convenion in Waynesboro, June 24 and 25. It was voted during the meeting also to have the company represented in the Orange VFD’s parade June 11. High School Teachers_ Enjoy “Indoor Picnic” The recent arrival of the outof-season cold weather changed_ the well-laid plans of the teacher^ of Rappahannock High for their annual outdoor picnic. Instead of the rustic benches of the spacious outside, they feasted on familiar tables in the school auditorium Wednesday evening, May 5. The arrangement committee consisting of Mrs. David. Corbin, Mrs* Fisher Burford and Fred Hutchison, made the change with ease, and the result was equally enjoyable. Among those present at the picnic in addition to the committee were Miss Mary Jenkins, Mrs. Arlene Wake, Mrs. Jessie Cox, v and her guest, Mrs. AM. Hickman, D. C. Cascio, A. P. Barker, Miss Emma MacArthur, David and Richard Corbin,_Miss Jean__ Brown, Mr. and Mrs. J. H« Bettondorf, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Nichols, Mrs. Fred Hutchison, Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Johnson and Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Winfrey. 4-H NEWS In the last month several events have taken place that are very important to the Rappahannock 4-H Club boys. The Rappahannock County Sears, Roebuck Pig Chain was judged for the second time by Ralph Westing, Extension Swine Specialist from V. P. I. All the hogs in the chain are registered purebred Poland China with litters. The Flint 4-H’ers were awarded prizes at a banquet given by the' Sears, Roebuck at Warrenton for this good work in caring for the hogs this year, Ivory Atkins, Jr. received top honors and $60.00 in prize money "for the best sow and litter. Eddie Sutphin won second _ prize and $25.00 and Glen Updike won third prize and $15.00, and Charles Leake won $10.00 and the 4th prize ribbon. The scores were very close and all of these should be congratulated for their fine work. The 4-H boys on the Rappahannock livestock judging team tried their luck in the area contest at Staunton in April after attending the livestock judging school in Madison and numerous workouts in judging livestock on farms. The team composed of Kelly Updike, Jackie Sisk, Glen Updike, Jimmy Yates, placed 9th out of 15 teams in the contest. This record is very good consider-; ing the competition of the more experienced teams of the area. On April 15th, five 4-H boy# who arc raising sheep as one of their projects attended the sheep shearing school in Warrenton. These boys, Jackie Sisk, Kelly Updike, Richard Griffith, Glen Updike, and Randall Updike, participated in a contest at the end of the school where the best shearer was judged according to speed, condition of the fleece, etc. Kelly Updike and Jackie Sisk placed first and second winning a chance to attend the all expense paid trip to Staunton for a two day shearing school and contest. We feel that this kind of com petition and training not only help the boys with their livestock now but will mean much more to them in later years. They have represented Rappahannock County well at these contest and we feel very proud of them. Just a reminder to you parents of 4-H’ers that it time for your son to be getting a pig if he wants to show in the Orange Area Pig show and sale on September 6th. It should be a March pig and weigh 170-245 by September. Come by and see us. Selective Service Major General Lewis B. Hershey, Director of Selective Service, today announced an additional Selective Service College qualification Test to be held May 20 at 1.000 testing centers. This will be a “clean-up test” for the benefit of students prevented by illness or other emergency from taking the test on April 22 of this year, and for those who failed to jnake application before the deadline for the April test. General Hershey said he could not emphasize too strongly that students who have a certificate of admission for the April 22 test which they failed to use on the assigned date must submit a new application if they wish to take the May 20 test. “The old certificate,” he pointed out, “will not admit a student to the May 20 test/’ He must secure a new certificate of admission. . Application blanks for the May 20 test may be obtained from the student’s nearest local board and should be sent in as soon as possible to the Educational Testing Service, Princeton, New Jersey. Students who attain a prescribed upper class standing or make a score of 70 or better on the May 20 test are eligible for consideration by their local boards for deferment during the next academic year. Local boards are not required to defer students who meet one or both o ftheir criteria, General Hershey pointed out, but their classifications are subject to appeal. CARD PARTY The card party given by the Ladies Auxiliary to the Fire Co. of Flint Hill on Thursday evening was quite a success, socially and financially. The party, given in Russell Bros, garage, consisted of parties entertained by persons from Sperryville, Washington and Flint Hill. After the game a salad course was served and prizes were awarded to. the high scores of each table. Batton. v-----' Boy Scouts Plan “Operation Korea” Boy Scouts of the Shenandoah Area Council, with headquarters at Winchester, Va. have accepted,* an invitation from the AmericanKorean Foundation to cooperate with it by undertaking a special project known as “Operation Korea” within the next 30 days. W. C. Gleason, Scout Executive of the area Council, said that its members will develop a “Boy Scout Friendship Package” for the Boy Scouts of South Korea, in response to a request received from Dr. Arthur A. Schuck,- Chief Scout Executive of the Boy Scouts of America. r Usable, clean Boy Scout and Cub Scout Uniforms, specified camping equipment and first aid kits be packed in a wooden case —and loaded on some of the “Help Korea Trains” that will soon be across the country. These trains will also receive other items contributed by American business, industry and national organizations for the people of South Korea. President Eisenhower attaches great importance and significance to the Campaign, Dr. Schuck said. He wrote the nation’s Scout Executives that President Eisenhawer endorsed the program in a letter to Dr. Howard Rusk,' President of the American-Korean Foundation, saying: “The timing of the AmericanKorean Foundation’s campaign is particularly fortunate, for with the opening of the truce talks in Geneva, it is urgent that we do everything possible to let our brave Korean allies know how deeply we feel toward them and that in a democracy we stand by those who fight with us to resist Communist aggression.. I attach the greatest importance ’to the work of the American-Korean Foundation, for it is serving our -national jnteresti*^^1^^ Expressing confidence that each < ±Council “will do an effective and meaningful job”, Dr. Schuck said that by each Council developing one crate it “becomes a noteworthy contribution to the Boy Scouts of South Korea, who are in such great need.” Each “standard” Boy Scout Friendship Package, carefully developed, is to include the following: v 4 2-boy light weight tents with collapsible poles and tent pegs. 1 Dining fly without poles (trail tent 10’ x 10’). 1 Trench shoyel. 1 Single Bit axe (hand or long handled).!; 1 Patrol first aid kit. 1 Trail Chef cook kit with 4 additional cups and plates. _1 Chef Kit consisting of 1 basting spoon, 1 ladle, pot fork, spatula, slicer fruit knife, 2 potato peelers. . _ 8 Boy Scout uniforms—including: cap or hat, shirt (V neck or regular) neckerchief slide, trousers or shorts, belt, socks dr stockings, pack or haversack. 8 Boy Scout knives. 8 Canteens. .

Governor Voices ' Approval Of, Anti-Litterbug Campaign' Governor Thomas B. Stanley has sent his encouragement to the Anti-Litterbug Campaign that began May 16 in the 13 counties and three cities that make up the Culpeper Highway District in, Northern and Central Virginia. The Governor expressed hi$ hope that the volunteer educatipnal program, under the auspices of the Virginia Anti-Litterbug Council, will be extended later throughout Virginia. The statement was released today by Giles H. Miller, Jr, president of The Culpeper National Bank and chairman of the District Anti-Litterbug Campaign. Governor Stanley said; “The trash, strewn along our highways Imposes considerable expense upon' pin* Department of Highways and fears the beauty of our landscape. In many instances it becomes a public nuisance and traffic hazard* “It is encouraging to witness this voluntary’effort to make ouij highways safer and neater, and I trust the endeavor will meet with the support of every Virginian.” Farmers, Prepare To Store Your Wheat “Farmers need storage space to take advantage of the 1954 Wheat Prrice Support Program,” said E. D. Duncan, Chairman of the Virginia State ASC Committee. Mr. Duncan pointed out that while price support on 1954 wheat are available aj 90 per cent of parity this means nothing to the farmer who cannot find commercial storage space and who has no storage facilities on his farm. With most of the commercial CASTLETON CHINA \ DOLLY MADISON—A lovely rose with exquisite pastel shadings and delicate green leaves is centered on translucent ivory-toned Castleton China. The pearl-edge is enriched with gold. Five piece place-setting, $17.75 P. M. SHIREY Jeweler Phone 93_— FRONT ROYAL, VA. warehouse space available in Virginia already filled with 1953 wheat, and with an uncertain outlook for moving out this old wheat to make room for the new cjjpp, farmers were urged by Mr. Duncan not to count too heavily on warehouse storage. “The outlook for storage is worse," he said, “than it has been in a number of years.” Duncan pointed out that a good farm building.for storing grain is one of the best investments a farmer can make, and is aguarantee to the farmer tjhat jhe price support program will mean. something. Many farmers last year were forced to dump wheat on a glutted market at prices of 30 to 50 cents below the loan level because no storage could be found., Virginia Farmers cannot pile wheat on the ground in the open as it is occasionally done in the arid sections of the West. If there is no place to store it, it must usually be disposed of on the market for a distress price. The Government loan program becomes a hollow mockery to farmers in such a situation, according to Duncan. He further stated that wheat price support would be available to farmers with suitable warehouse or on-the-farm storage- at 90 per cent of parity through loan and purchase agreements. He addel! that loans and purchase agreements would be limited to far-* mers who were in compliance with farm acreage allotment. Duncan stated that at the direction of the Secretary of Agriculture he had appointed a special Grain Storage Committee consisting of representatives of the Extension Service, the ASC, the State Department of Agriculture, warehousmen, and farm organizations. This Committee is holding three area meetings with agricultural leaders and representatives of the U. S. Department of Agri- , culture agencies in Richmond, Luray and Lynchburg for the purpose of developing ways and means of dealing with the grain storage problem. v LookoutTowersClosed Until Fall Chief Forest Warden Raymond M. Johnson of Rappahannock County states that since the vegetation has come out, and with the recent showers, it is unnecessary to man the Virginia Forest Service lookout towers at the present time. However, if we have a prolonged dry spell, thfe Lookout Watchman will be back on duty. Mr. Johnson requests the cooperation of the general public in being careful with the handling of outdoor fires and that. they do everything reasonable to prevent the spread of these fires to woodland. In case there are any fires in your neighborhood, please report them directly to your Chief Forest Warden, telephone number Sperryville 2443, and crews will be dispatched to that area to help control the fire.'

SPITTLEBUG?rhe spittlebug is described as a yellowish young insect, called a nymph, which occur in masses of . spittle-like secretions on plants. It is a one generation insect and there, fore only damages the first cutting of Clover and Alfalfa by sucking the sap from the plants. Besides reducing the total yield. of hay the spittlebug reduces the, quality by sucking the juices from" the plant reducing its vitamin content. Infestation is considered serious when spittle masses give the ground surface a foot a whitish appearance. ALSO CONTROLS ROOT CURCULIO: In addition to controlling the spittlebug, heptachlor is the only chemical known to effectively control the clover root curculio.- The larvae of this insect feeds on the feeder and tap roots of both alfalfa and clover which reduces the plants ability to take up plant, foods and water which in turn reduces growth and in addition allows entry of fungi which may kill the root entirely or increase, loss of plants through heaving of the soil in freezing and thawing. This insect was one of the pri-Jtn-irv reasons agronomist until comparatively recent years con-^ ~sfdered“red‘xlover a biennial thus great things are expected of heptachlor. It will be interesting to observe come back ability as well as the longevity of the stands of alfalfa and clover at these farms for herein also lies a means of measuring the economy of its use. At present it is estimated to cost $10.00$12.00 per acre to treat with heptachlor, however, rates of application and concentrate farms are still to be studied.

^aL- ” .MILLiii, JII., of • Culpeper, chairman of the District. AntiLit: oils Campaign, holds a ‘ Don’t be a LITTERBUG” poster beneath t-'t Department sign of its type erected in Virginia. The sign is on U.S. 29 just north of Culpeper. In observance of Antl-Liltert. - i.. n vV i: lk in the 1 :> counties and three cities that make up the Cu.peper Highway District, the Highway Department is erectin in'-' v-'v ■K ■ ' - c'ti Signs th oughout the district—on highways enterin Vii g.ria from I ha District of Columbia, West Virginia, and Maryland; ccs into the district; and on highways leading out of D n "War has been declared in 16 counties and cities of Northern and Central Virginia, including our- -angry county of Rappahannock. The enemy is the Jitterbug— that person who goes around littering the roadside. Waging of war against him will begin next week. During the week of May 1622 the litterbug will be fired upon—with every weapon known to those who are seeking to kill this, menace and banish chim forever from the waysides and streets of Virginia. In each county and city in the district an nnti-Jitterbug chairman« has been designated bv the Vir'"guiiarT Anti-kdttcrBug Council to organize the attack. In Rappahannock County it is iC C. Strawn ~ Chiles Hv—Millet. Jr., president— Zof iThC _ Cill pepejPZVnTiona 1 11 an k, is the chairman for the Id counties * and three cities that make up the area, the Culpeper Highway District. Tlfe territory extends from the Potomac River on Virginia’s northern boundary to the James River south of Charlottesville. In the battleground area of 5,035 square miles are more than a half million people. ‘‘With the cooperation of the county and city chairmen and the scores of cooperating citizens who a re -assist-in g each • of them,’ ’ M r. Miller said today, “I hope that hv this time next week even' one of our half million residents will have joined the war against the Jitterbug—even if.it be himself.” “It is our hope that this program will come to the attention of every person in the district. From my own experience‘so far, I find that it is contagious. A per'son will hesitate to throw trash in public places after he has heard about the litterbug campaign,” Mr. Miller said. This district campaign is the first such drive undertaken in the United States, and its program and accomplishments will be watched cloSely by public and private officials who are concerned with the litter problem. The Virginia ^Anti-Litterbug Council, made up of some 25 civic, business and trade, farm, and women's organizations, designated the Culpeper District because it has one of the highest litterbug attack rates in Virginia. Earl J. Shiflet, State Deputy of the National Grange, was the first chairman of the Council. “Its - purpose,”v he said “is to stop the indiscrirniitatc disposal of trash .around homes, farms, highways, and public places." This year’s chairman, succeeding Mr. Shiflet, is Paid Sanders, editor of the . Southern Planter. Keep America Beautiful, Inc., a public service organization established last year for the elimination of litter, is.assisting the Virginia Council ail'd the district and county committees in their campaign in this district, providing the part-time services of—John Guenther, of New York City, and Matthews A. Griffith, of Y/avnesboro. * ^ Keep America Beautiful, Inc., looks upon the district campaign .in Virginia as a “testing ground’’!: or “pilot study” for similaroperations throughout the counter. -Thr -VirnfiaJsFcooperating m campaign audx spokesmen have stated, unite franklv, they hope similar drives will be conducted in the other seven highway districts in Virginia. Id. J. Neale, landscape engineer of the Highwav Department and one of the vice chairmen of the Virginia Anti-Litterbug Council, savs. “ Promecuous s c a 11 e ri n g of trash and debris along our high way runa over youiJ.UUU a year to clean up. This money could be used to much better advantage in putting roads into better condition, or better yet, to build more safety into all of Our highways for you and your family and friends.” County and city chairmen have in formed M r. Miller tbat, be* ginning with concentrated effort in next week’s Anti-Litterbug Campaign Week and continuing until the victory is won, they are requesting the assistance ~of newspapers, radio stations, schools, civic clubs, women’s and farm organizations and “everybody else.” The chairmen in several of the county and city areas are arranging special eventrfor Friday, May 21, to dramatize and symbolize the local campaigns. Several 'are considering the mass clean-up of a designated section of highway, street, or park. Several have indicated they are planning “stunts” which will be closely held secrets Until they are sprung, Mr. Miller today listed the following county and city chaii'-j men, named by the Virginia AntiLitterbug Council: Arlington County, F.
