Rappahannock News, July 15, 1954

With regret we hear of the increase of the speed limit in the town of Washington from 25 miles to 35 miles. Moreover we are sorry to see the-increase in the speed limit in Woodville from 35 to 45 miles. The increase in Washington’s speed limit is more lamentable as it came before the vote of the town council and was approved by a 4-2 majority. The council could have rejected the resolution. But this sound decision to change the limit was arrived at in a logical manner, we are told* For, following the two tests in the ' town, an average of 36 miles was recorded. And, after consideration it was decided that perhaps we should adjust the law to fit the motorists. For after all what is a difference of 10. miles. Beists who break the limitTToo, « lot of other towns are doing it. Good arguments? Tell them to a mother bending over the limp body , of a careless child. Shout them so they will drown out her memory of screeching brakes. Repeat them as she turns away with a moan of helplessness. Good arguments ?Remember this :a motorist ' who does not respect a speed limit of 25,will not develop a ‘respect when given a 35 mile speed limit. « n <1 n Last Sunday’s turn out at the re-opening meeting at- Mount -Salem Church was very good, numbering around 50. The preaching was godly and the or_ganizing plans, well thought out. Yet this is only the beginning. For a new thing always draws curious persons. However, it was evident that there were persons present with real interest, in the reopening of a church, the preserving of a landmark in Rappahannock, o o o o Last week’s question, “What American fiction character is most popular with Russian children?” Mrs. B. M. Varner of Sperryville^ phoned in the correct answer: “Mark Twain’s Tom Sawyer.” 'oo o o Answer this one for a year’s _subscription: “Jose Toscano was once picked up as a ‘juvenile wet-” back’; so anxious was he to enter this golden land of opportunity. Once legally in, he quickly took . advantages of these opportunities and developed his talents until to* day they bring joy to many citizens of his chosen land? Now, who is this Jose Toscano? PLATE SUPPER The Susan Wood Missionary Society of Reynolds—Memorial Baptist Church, Sperryville, will sponsor a cold plate supper on July 23 from 6 to 8 o’clock p.m. :f in the church. Fried chicken, snap beans, stuffed tomatoes as salad, hot rolls, coffee or tea and pie for dessert will be included on the menu. Plates sell for $1.25. ATTENTION WAKEFIELD ,.i - ;# . 4 5, All citizens of Wakefield District are invited by their Fire Auxiliary to give articles of any kind for the. auction booth and other stands, . at the Firemen’s Carnival, July 23 and 24. Prizes are being collected by Mrs. John S. Browning and Miss Elsie Dodson or may be brought to the school house the night of July 19 at 7:30 p.m. v -• Mt. Salem Church To Be Re-opened Memories of days long past mingled with the shadows cast by the lamplight Sunday evening as fifty folk gathered to pledge their interest in the re-opening of Mt. Salem Baptist Church at Rock Mills. The closed doors of the church shut within themselves not only* the history of a mother church but’ also the history of a Rappahannock Landmark. In the spring of 1824, a small the hill above the present location of Mount Salem, and constituted the church. A building was constructed around the school house. (Later on, the school house was torn down and moved out). The present Mount Salem was built during the 1850’s on land given by Henry Miller, great grandfather of D. D. Miller of of Culpeper. William F. Broadus served as first pastor for the newly baptized church. His years of pastorship added to those of the next three pastors, Cumberland George, Barnett Grimsley and S. M. Athey accounted for 84 years of growth in “wisdom and statue” by Mount Salem. From the farthest reaches of Rappahannock County, Christians ' traveled many miles to Mount ’•’Salem, bringing thefr children there to be baptized, and in turn watching their children hand their sons and daughters into safekeep mg. Bad roads, augmented by win—ter snows, encouraged 47 members to leave the mother church and found the Flint Hill Baptist Church. Likewise the Washington Baptist Church had its beginning. As these and other children churches began to develop distinct personalities, the mother church’s membership dwindled. . Generations came and went in the young churches, with fewer and fewer returning to Mount Salem for renewal of allegiance. Youths grew to old age in the offspring churches making them complete families within themselves. Now a century after its found—ing, Mount Salem, yet a strong stone structure, begins to show the results of “dis”, and “mis” use.' Thieves have plundered it, taking a step from an entrance, a chair from its pulpit, and the collection plates from its altar. Of necessity some step must be taken. It is believed by a large number that there are now enough interested persons to revive the church. They moreover believe in , the need to reopen the church. -In order to best gather these persons and best measure the sentiment of the public, Revival Services will be conducted at Mount •Salem from Monday, July 19 through Sunday, July 25 (except Saturday) at 7:30. Following the week of services®a meeting will’be held and the decision on the operting, 'made. The. Rev. Joseph Graver of Elkwood will conduct the services, during the revival. He is also through personal visits taking a census of public opinion on this issue. Holiday Mail Stops The Star Route from Culpeper to Castleton was discontinued on holidays as of July 1, over the objections of the post office’s employees and the mail carrier. Council Approves Speed Increase To 35 Miles Per Hour The Washington Town Council in their July meeting held Tues' day night, July 13, approved a resolution to. increase the speed limit in the town of Washington from one of 25 miles per hour to 35 miles per hour by *a vote of 4-2. "The resolution was made by Mrs. C. J. Miller and seconded by Mrs. J. W. Price, in response to a request made by P. D. Coldfrom Resident Engineer of the Highway Department. Mr. Colditon appeared before the Council and stated that 2 tests had been made"in 'Washington--and the results showed that 86% of the motorists go through town at an average of 36 miles per hour. Adding that the speed limits in a number of towns had been increased, he called for a resolution to raise per hour. Four members of the council, including Mayor Davis, Council- 1 ladies Miller, Price, Hawkins and^ Benton approved the resolution. Critzer and Jenkins cast the dissenting votes. -— Following some discussion of the water works issue, , it was agreed to table the discussion until the August meeting. However, plans were made to have a public meeting at some designated date and at this meeting, ask qualified persons, familiar with the issue, to present the problems to the people. Then the citizens would air their opinions and a decision would be reached based on these views at —lhe-Jiext rnnnril meeting. __ -Mr. Coldiron told the ladies that within the next week several streets in town would be resurfaced. The 26th of July was set for a meeting to discuss the town budget. Requests for graats and increases or decreases . in the present expenditures will be approved at the August meeting of the council; and the final draft of the budget made. Chiefs Win Over F.H. Move To 3rd Place A large crowd watched the Flint Hill Athletic Club take an early lead over the Rappahannock Chiefs in Sunday afternoon’s Shenandoah League game, and hold fast to this lead until in the eighth when the* Chiefs crumbled the A. C.’s hopes with 7 runs on 7 hits and 3 errors. In the first inning, Strother on a walk, and was brought in by a single, hit by Ned Settle, scoring the first run of the game. Flint Hill played good ball in the second inning, bringing in 3 runs for a 3-1 lead over the Chiefs. Again in the fifth the A. C.’s got nice clean hits and chalked up two more runs, giving them a more comfortable lead of 5-1. - In their half of the fifth, the Chiefs made another run, and in the sixth, 2 runs. Charles Dodson started the rally in the eighth with a double while 2' were on base. In quick succession came the other 6 hits pushing the Chiefs ahead of *the A. C.’s.

Chapman Awarded Certificate Fifteen years of perserverance , paid off for a native of Sperryville as in climax to part time v. night school and endless extension course studies, David V. Chapman was awarded a State certificate as a professional engineer in the field of electrical engineering. Mr. Chapman, State superintendent of grounds and buildings,' ' was presented the State license— following an oral examination by the licensing board—in a brief ceremony by State Budget Director J. H. Bradford, Turner N. Burton, director of the Department of Professional and Occupational Registration, which is the administrative office for various State boards. The son of Mr. and Mrs. D. V. Chapman Sr., of Sperryville, Mr. Chapman was born and reared in the county, graduated from Sperryville High School in 1927, and a year later from Southern Brothers Steward Business University, Washington, D. C. He pursued a course of study in the field of Electrical Engineering in the VPI Extension Division at the Virginia Mechanics Institute night school in Richmond from 1939 through 1945. After an interruption due to World War II, he resumed his studies in the University 6f Virginia Extension Division, also in Richmond, leading to his certification as a Pro- fessional Engineer. , " He entered the Virginia State Service in 1935, and rose rapidly • until he achieved his present posi-> tion of State Superintendent of •» ; Grounds and Buildings, of the "7 77 Division of the Budget in the Governor’s Office._ '_ Because of his extensive studies, the State board waived the written examination and qualified him on the basis of the oral test. His studies are the equivalent to college work leading to a degree in electrical engineering according to the board’s standards. Mr. Bradford praised Mr. Chapman on his perservance, telling the group present, of the five years that Chapman had commuted to Richmond to take night 7 classes in engineering while he was holding down the full time responsibility for the physical plant at Goochland farm. He further congratulated Chapman on the added presitge Chapman’s achievement gives the grounds and buildings section, an arm of the budget division. <.

[Washington as viewed by YOUR SENATOR A. WILLIS ROBERTSON ALTERNATIVE IS OFFERED TO AVOID APPEASEMENT . Recent developments have given new significance to the Statement of Secretary Dulles several months ago that we may have *to reappraise our foreign policy. News dispatches have indicated that the french have to all intents and purposes given up the fight in Indo-china. Whether or not they can salvage anything at the conference table remains to be seen but Communists seldom make concessions except to superior force. That means the more than two billion dollars we have spent helping the French in that war has gone down the drain. Recent conferences among our\ Asian allies concerning a new line of defense against Communism extending from Japan through the Philippines to Australia have produced no tangible results, as is indicated by the statement of the Premier of New Zealand advocating admission of Red China to the United Nations. Public statements issued after the conference" between Sir Winston Churchill and President Eisenhower threw little light on the tenor of their private conversations and did little to off set the speech of Foreign Minister Eden in the Hpuse of Commons before coming to Washington in which he too advocated recognition of Red China and in effect a program of appeasement. The British people love their freedom and can be counted on to give a good account of themselves in battle but it seems evident they have reached the conclusion that they, have no adequate defense against destruction if there is another world war and they are un- ‘ willing to take a stand which they feel risks touching off such a conflict. France and Italy continue to hold back on ratification of the EDC which was designed to pro vide a unified military force in Western Europe. This inaction has prevented the arming of ten German divisions 'and the EDC program in Germany was the key to any effective plan to strengthen the barrier against Communism in Europe. -- The net result of all of this is that although since World War II we have appropriated sixty billion dollars with the hope that we could develop allies in all of the free parts of the world we find the United States in the position of a leader without followers. The London Times said in a recent editiorial that the admission of Red China to the United Nations was a legal and not a moral question. But the hands of the Chinese Communists are dripping with the blood of American boys in Korea and that, to? me. involves a moral and not a legal question. Communistsalready in the United Nations have made a farce of that organization from the standpoint of preventing unprovoked aggression and the admission of another Communist nation will merely pr&ve the statement of mv grandfather that “the tendency of everything is to be more so. It is my deliberate opinion that if our nation joins an international program of appeasing Communism the free world is doomed. I had hoped that the other free nations would reeogfiize this danger and stand beside us, but if they do not I believe we still have an alternative better than appeasement to pirevent a third world war. That is to build as rapidly as’ possible during the next three years a fleet of not less than six hundred B-52 bombers capable of flying to Russia from bases we own with any type of bomb we have and then returning. Tho'se bombers would cost possibly four billion dollars but that is a small fraction of the amount we already have spent in an effort to obtain dependable allies. We still have in our foreign aid program more than ten billion dollars of unexpended funds, not counting the three and a half billion the President is requested this year. Perhaps we should include in our reappraisement of foreign policy the question of whether or not some of that jnoney might better be spent on a strategic air force which will make plain to the Communist world that if the Communists start World War III they can’t win it.

An Investment ' Many feeder calf producers are rightfully concerned over the ratio between production costs and receipts on todays market. There is no maybe so about it that the Rappahannock farmer whose major source of farm income is -from the sale of feeder calves must concentrate, on not only the improvement in both quantity and quality of his output but in addition must find other mean^of increasing his gross farm income if he is to show a profit at the end of a year’s operation. Of course, it is possible that his business show a net income IF THE PRICES OF THE THINGS HE BUYS ARE REDUCED SHARPLY. But what individual farmer can control these prices? Again, the feeder calf producer can cut down on production costs by reducing the amount of production material purchased such as, fertilizer but, in my opinion, this would in most cases surely spell quicker doom to his business. Wade H. Massie Jr. told me not so long ago that the first flock of ewes he had. which he himself attended to and built largely from the daughters and granddaughters of one ewe which was a superior milker that usually produced twins, convinced him there was money in sheep. Just when this was, Mr. Massie didn’t say, however today there are sheep at “Hampden Hall,” sheep at “Meadow Green,” and sheep at “Red Hill.” All of these farms are beef cattle farms and I’ll wager that all will be producing beef and lambs for years to come. Again I invite you to consider the production costs of lambs and wool as compared to receipts. With reasonable attention there will be clear money in sheep for years to come. Recently in cleaning out my desk I came across a letter from a friend for whom I purchased 35 ewes (1949) which came in a car : Load primarily for Rappahannock farmers. As a matter of curiosity, I wrote this friend asking him many of .the original ewes were still on hand and what they hac| done for him. Today, Dan Kite, whom many of you know, replied as follows: “In 1949 the 35 ewes and one buck cost me $863. The returns were as follows: 1950—35 ewes—return approximately $1200; 1951—34 ewes— return approximately $1700; 1952 32 ewes—return . approximately $1400; 1953—31 ewes—return approximately $1100. ■ A total return for four years— $5400.00. - • At the present time there arc 28 or 29 ewes remaining from the original 35. I purchased an additional 35 ewes last summer.” — Dan is also a feeder calf producer on his Culpeper county farm He was not farm reared and hense did not have the advantages many of us had in getting such valuable experience. He is conducting a successful farming operation, WHAT WILL IT COST TODAY TO GET A SHEEP FLOCK???? Westerning yearling ewes are selling nearby for $25.00 to $22.50 per head. While none of the purebred ram sales, have held so far this year my guess is they yill fetch $75.00. Thus you could today have a flock equal to that of Dan’s at about the same cost. This year the early “blue circle” lambs fetched from $31.00 per hundred weight down to $26.00. It is still possible to pay for that flock, ram,- and their feed in the first year. Several farmers have given me several REASONS WHY THEY DON’T WANT SHEEP. Probably first and foremost has been the DOG PROBLEM. The best advice I can give is that cows with calves are the best natural-around-the-clock protection anyone can have for sheep. How many times have you known * of dogs bothering sheep where they were run with cows ? Secondly pasture the sheep in fields within sight of your farmstead if at all possible. Thirdly, bell at least 15% of the flock. The “long distance” type of bell is the best. Bells serve as a warning to the sheepman, for that matter, and,' what’s prettier than the sound of tinkling bells of different tones. Possibly the second most quoted reason for not having sheep is UNSUITABLE FENCES. There is no question about fencing costs being high, however, when you do put in a new fence my advice is to put in a fence that will hold other types of livestock as .■ well as cattle. Woven wire fencing makes land usage more flexible. In most instances, the more different uses you can make of anything the more likely it is to be of greater value to you. Others have sold their sheep because “I COULDN’T FIND ANY ONE TO SHEAR THEM.” Today this situation has changed largely as a result of the cooperation of the V.P.I. Extension Service, Ed. Warner of the Sunbeam Corporation, and others have given the industry in connection with shearing schools for 4-H club members. This spring there were five custom shearers operating in Rappahannock County that I know of, namely Kelly Updike, Jackie Sisk, Charles Cannon, Randy Foster and Joe Powers and it-is my belief that anyone could have shorn more sheep than he was asked to do. Give 'em a few more years to grow and toughen-up in and both Glenn and Randall Updike will be on the job helping sheepmen as well as earning a little money for themselves. Others have stated “that sheep are too nasty for me to fool with.” While there is much to be learned about any phase of any agricultural enterprise there is rarely an excuse for snotty nosed, taggy ewes except shear negligence of the shepherd. Through timely dosages for stomach worms with phenothiazine, phenithiazine lead, bluestone with blackleaf 40, tags and messy noses among sheep are conditions of the past. A little treatment and attention at the time needed, plus good feeding will keep ewes thrifty. They require good feed yes, but not much of it. Ninety pounds of grain and 275 to 300 lbs. of good leafy legume hay will winter a ewe. IVJanv of the better shepherds in Virginia are. averaging better than $40.00 gross per eWe per year. In fact I’m advised that George Litton figures two ewes will equal one beef cow in gross returns per year at present lamb and feeder calf values. Two ewes will eat abbut one fifth the amount of hay required of one cow’s winter ration and with a few acres of small grain pasture for the ewe flock winter feed requirements can be cut in halt. Don't forget too that where you have enough pasturage to keep one cow in good shape during the normal grazing season there is ENOUGH GRAZING LEFT OVER to take care of one ewe. If you’ll follow this rule of thumb you’ll bo Oil sound footing and your ewe. has not cost you one single extra penny from the standpoint of feed for 6 to 7 months of the year. Stock heavier with sheep and you’ll get in trouble—the cows will go hungry before the sheep will. The sheep population is down too—-national population is down 3% and the number of babies is increasing steadily. Spring lamb, while relished by many adults is highly recommended by doctors as a baby food. Can’t say whether stomach ulcers are increasing or decreasing but feel like it is the former situation; here again lamb is one of the meats an ulcer sufferer can eat. Mrs. House wife, lamb is a good meat buy— make price comparison for your self. Yes, from any angle, it appears to me that ewes are a good investment. Several farmers have indicated they are considering purchase of ewes. One has asked me to get his 22 head. Time is short, however, the breeding season will soon be here, ram sales started this month at Orange on the 14th, at Winchester 19th. So let’s act quickly—let’s pool orders and get in at least ji couple of car loads— all for Rappahannock farmers!!!! _a_ Bridge Party Mrs. W. F.
