Carnival Proves Adage: Cooperation Reaps Success Av tremendous crowd came to the Flint Hill Firemen’s first carnival held in front of the Keyser Packing House in Flint Hill last Friday and Saturday nights, July 23 and 24. Kiddies stood in line 2 deep to claim their ride on the ferris wheel as parents filled the bingo stands to capacity. Friday night’s attendance was surpassed by that of Saturday nightr when persons came from , Amissville, Washington, Sperryville, Culpeper,' Front Royal, Warrenton, Washington, D. C. and numerous other places to show their approval of the Flint Hill Firemen’s undertaking. Miss Mary Karland Fincham was crowned queen of the Carnival by Master of Ceremonies, H. S. Barksdale, who appeared to feel^ no displeasure in discharging his duties. Pretty little Miss Nancy Atkins was the runner up contestant w^th attractive Miss Carolyn Williams receiving the third highest number of points in the contest for Queen of the Flint Hill Carnival. The 1954 Plymouth that was given away by the Flint Hill Firemen was received by Ashby Butler of Woodville. BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENT Mr. and Mrs. Jesste Settle of Amissville are receiving congratulations on the birth of a daughter, Vickie Ellen, born Sunday, July 25 at Winchester Memorial Hosv pitaL r;., . Wheat Growers To Determine Marketing Quota On Friday, July 23, Rappahannock county wheat growers joined other growers throughout the State and nation to decide whether or not the wheat marketing quota program would continue in operation for the 1955 crop. In accordance with law, Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson recently proclaimed marketing quotas for the 1955 wheat crop subject to approval by growers in a nation-wide referendum. At least two-thirds of the wheat growers who voted in the referendum on July 23 must approve wheat marketing Quotas if thev are to go into effect, Barksdale, chair-‘ man of the ASC committee, explained. If the quota program approved, growers who plant within their 1955 acreage allotments would be eligible to market the' .wheat free of a marketing penalty7~ Mr. Barksdale also explained that the favorable Vote in the referendum would mean that growers who exceed their 1955 - wheat allotment will be subject to penalty equal to 45 percent of parity on May 15, 1955 on excess wheat production. The penalty on the 1954 wheat crop is $1.12 per bushel.. If growers reject wheat quotas in the referendum, there will be no marketing penalty in effect. For purposes of price support the 1955 wheat program is somewhat stricter than that of the 1954 program. To be eligible for price support on any crop produced on the farm in 1955, the producermust comply with all acreage allotment established for his farm for that year. On farms where the crop allotments call for a diverted acreage of more than ID acres, there will be established a total acreage allotment for the farm for all allotment crops within which the producer must plant to be^eligible for price support. In making his allotment pro. clamation, Secretary Benson stated that: “The long range interest of agriculture and the national economy will best be served when - we can have less—and not more— government regulation and control.” He added, however, that under present conditions “we have no immediate choice. With approximately a two-years’ supply of wheat expected to be on hand ■ when this year’s crop is harvested, there is no question at all about the requirement for marketing quotas and the establishment of a national wheat acreage allotment at the level prescribed by law.’* Referring to the cross-compliance, requirement, making it necessary for the farmer to stay within all acreage allotments established for his farm to be eligible for price support, the Secretary said: “Neither is there any question about the need to require cross-compliance with established acreage allotments. It does not make sense to encourage the build~ing of new problems through the unwise shifting of acres from one surplus crop to another.” In the referendum conducted a v year ago, fanners approved marketing quotas by an 87 percent majority. BV a special Act of Congress the national 1954 acreage allotment was 62 million acres. The 1955 national wheat allotment is 55 million acres which is (Continued to page 11) >• ■* .

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 Letter To The Editor Dear Editor: All around Flint Hill the question is being asked, “Why was the carnival such a success?” The answer, I believe, is that every man, woman, and child in Wakefield District gave generously and freely of his time, talent and money. No job was too big, nor, as it sometimes happens, too small, but that there was a volunteer ready to do it. The carnival planning committee which started with no experience, formed a framework so good that each individual felt that there was something which he could contribute in the building of the carnival. To that committee, each of which gave so much, a great amount of the credit for 'success is due. To that committee should go a vote of thanks for. allowing people to choose the job at which they could feel they could do their best work. One of our oldest citizens made and contributed one of the loviest pieces of handwork exhibited; one of our youngest got himself lost and gave the Boy Scouts their chance for a good deed. No children in the community saw less of the carnival than the Boy Scouts. They had the thankless job of parking the multitude of cars, and under the direction of their Scout Master, they worked far, iar into the night. Few complaints were heard from the Scouts. Last, but not least, we owe a debt of gratitude to the generous, friendly, wonderful spirit of our friends and neighbors of other communities, for without them, and their cooperation in every phase of the carnival, it could not have been acclaimed a success. The spirit of cooperation demonstrated by every individual who attended should be an inspiration to us in future undertakings, and it is from grateful and truly humble hearts that Flint Hillians say thanks for the wonderful things you did to help, and for not doing those things which' would have lessened the pleasures and prosperity of the first Firemen’s carnival of Flint Hill. —An Auxiliary Member O O o Dear Editor: Now that the county has four fire departments, every undertaking of the individual departments must come more of a community affair, a town and vicinity project. The carnival sponsored by the Washington Fire Department, is a carnival sponsored by the community of Washington for the good of the community of Washington as the Flint Hill carnival was designed for the good of that community. In turn they are for the good of the county as a whole. But while to make the carnival a ‘success, the county must stand together, to plan it and put it on must be the responsibility and obligation of the town of Washington. Every person in the town and vicinity will be called upon to help for it is their project, it js their Fire Department that is sponsoring it. v 1 —A Citizen A Success Story— From the line of Boy Scouts at the entrance to the trio of ladies in the food booth; from the caller at the bingo stand to the youth behind the grab bags, the carnival sponsored by the Flint Hill Fire men on Friday and Saturday nights was a perfect success story. In telling verse, it expressed the result of long hours of planning and actual preparation by the whole community. The smooth manner in which the carnival moved was evidence^ of this hard work. Proud of their neighboring community and somewhat curious as to the results of their work, the entire county and outlaying towns came to the carnival, on Friday and Saturday nights. And once there, they felt their pride doubly justified. For around the carnival, a friendly air prevailed, .people worked together in friendly spirit, people who felt fine because they were making money for a good cause, one that would spell protection for them, their family and the entire community. This carnival shows *what can be done if the persons in a community work together. It shows what can be accomplished if the communities in a county work together. Yes, this is what can be done when persons forget for a moment their petty disagreements, their individual prejudices and merge their cooperative spirit with othprs. This is the results of cooperation. a: WILUS ROBERTSON FRENCH RATIFICATION IS ESSENTIAL TO EDC During the past week our Appropriations Committee has been ^conducting two sets of hearings at the same time—one on the foreign aid bill and one on a supplemental appropriation bill of approximately two billion dollars, about onehalf of which is for the military establishments. A tabulation by our staff of all types of foreign aid since fiscal ‘41 indicates total appropriations of one hundred and fifteen billion dollars. At present time, there is an unexpended balance in the foreign aid program of approximately ten billion dollars to.which the President has asked us to add another three and a half billion dollars. The present type of foreign aid was authorized by the Act of 1949 and first called the Marshall Plan. Since then it has had a variety of names but all meaning substantially the same thing. Total net expenditures, for all purposes, in that program have been $25,852,000,000. While the expenditure of those vast funds has undoubtedly helped to stem the tide of communism in Western Europe it did not stem it in Asia and even the most ardent supporter of the program must admit that net results have been disappointing. Naturally, therefore, a major point of discussion both in the Foreign Relations Committee, ins authorizing a continuation of the mutual aid program and in the Appropriations Committee, where a breakdown of the inquest was submitted, has been “What allies do we now have that are dependable and what military defense have we succeeded in creating?” That question cannot be answered until we know what'the French Parliament is going to do about ratifying the European s Defense Community. V Premier Mendes-France has promised to submit to the French Parliament before it adjourns nfext month a request for the ratification of EDC. Personally, he favors ratification but previously doubted if he could secure a majority in Parliament for his proposal. Of course, his popularity in France has been increased by his ability to end the war in Indochina which had become very unpopular even though he ended it on terms that amounted to a communist victory. T he decision of France on EDC is one of vital importance to us. There can be no successful defense of Western Europe without the use of German troops, and there is no practical plan for the rearming of Germany without French consent. EDC was a French proposal aimed at controlling the military strength of a liberated Germany. Great Britain and the United States prepared and approved a treaty to liberate Western Germany after EDC has been approved by France and five other European powers. But the so-called peace treaty with Western Germany has not been approved by France because France has not yet approved EDC although it has been approved by Germany, Holland. Belgium, and Luxemburg. If France votes to amend the treaty the only way Germany could be • rearmed would be through the joint action of Great Britain and the U. S. in granting national sovereignty to the areas of Western Germany, which "they now occupy. Under that sover-. eignty, Germany could be accepted as a member of NATO. Bift action of that character does not dispose of the French troops in the area, of Western Germany occupied by the French nor does it dispose of the issue of our subsquent use of major airfields built in France at great expense and lines of communication across France to supply troops in Germany. The principal reason „ t h a t France has not approved EDC is that under it a super-Government is to be s#t up and those who join that super-Government will waive some elements of sovereignty. The communist party in the French Parliament, which is the largest of all, is opposed to EDC because it wants no strong defense in Europe against the communists. Extreme Nationalists like General De Gaulle are opposed to EDC because of theit pride and their hope that France will continue to be treated as a _ major world power* Fanning Under Communism Here is America, first-class equipment is regarded by farmers as a basic necessity. They own it and they use it as they choose. It has resulted in more production accompanied by sharp drops in the amount of human and animal labor required. It is a bjulwork of agriculture’s earning power and living standards. It has been largely responsible for the transformation of farming into a business. What we should never forget is that it, like all the other tools we use, is a fruit of free enterprise system which is the source of our strength and wealth. One of the best of the national TV programs recently showed a motion picture film taken in Communist East Germany. The cameraman, who made the film at enormous personal risk had escaped with his family to the West. The film amounts to a grim exposure of the material and spiritual degradation of the people that is the hall mark of this and all the other communist “workers’ paradises.” And it .shows, far better, than words can describe, the incrediably low living and working standards imposed in the police states. One series of scenes in the film should be of exceptional interest to American farmers. A large piece of mechanized farm equip-' ment, which, like practically every thing else, is under government control, is brought into a village. The local farmers make a major celebration of the occasion, out of gratitude to the authorities who are graciously giving them the temporary services of the machine. For a brief spell they will enjoy the wonderful boon of mechanical power. The rest of the time, of course, they must do the work with their own backs, and arms, * aided by a few undernourished draft animals. Missionary Societies The Missionary Society of the Reynolds Memorial Baptist church met on Saturday afternoon, July 17 at the home of Mrs. R. E. Wood. Mrs. S. E. Hening was program leader. The subject was “The Quakers.” Eight members were present. SEWING MACHINES —We repair all makes. Free estimate in advance. Singer Sewing Center, * ' 105 E. Davis St. Culpeper, Va. Phone 9042.—adv.

Fund Drive, Reports Chairman Rappahannock County is still $200 short of their $1120 Red Cross Fund Drive goal set for 1954, with only $920.96 having been received by Mrs. G. W. Smith of Flint Hill, Fund Chairman. To date 500 people have signed up'Tor membership in the Red Crosf here in Rappahannock this year. The goal for the campaign was 600, leaving us 100 short of our quota. In checking over the records of 1953 it is noted that many who contributed last year* have forgotten or overooked a donation this year. We were one of the few chapters in the state to go over the top in 1953 and it is believed if the regular members of the Red Cross will still donate their membership fee of $1.00 or more, we can go over the top again this year. Although the volunteer workers have finished soliciting, the cam paign does not officially close until December 31, 1954. Any donations will be most welcome and will help the Rappahannock Chapter obtain its goal in funds as well as in membership. This chapter is YOUR Red Cross chapter, so help make it a success by supporting its membership drive by-becobiing a-membeFi-—Mail your contributions to the Fund Chairman, Mrs. G. W.

HOFFMAN IMPLEMENT SERVICE v*Service When You Need It” CULPEPER, VIRGINIA SMS-STAND MASS SICDIB ••TUCKS MACH SSSD TO BSD — m rHi roe halt much or soil" Miss Yates Enroute To Jr. Championship Swiftly, with case, Miss Terry Yates f is moving to the inside track in the race for the Virginia Horse Show Junior Champion—ship. Terry is the. 13 year old daughter of Frank A. Yates, native of Rappahannock and Mrs. Yates, who make their home in Alexandria, granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edley Yates of Mount Ida, Huntly, and niece of Mr. and Mrs. Jim Yates of Meadow Green Farm. Terry’s partner in the streak of victories is a 6-year-old chdStnut mare, 15.2 hands high w’ith Man O’ War blood in her, Little Craft by War-Craft-Little Princess (War-Craft is owned by W. A. Miller and Little Princess raised bv Oliver Durant). Just last week end, Miss Yates earned 10 points to be runner-up Farmington Junior Horse Show in Charlottesville, bringing her record to a total of 15214 points. This far outpaces all other Virginia contestants. Young Terry’s ability comes natural, for Frank Yates has been riding to hounds since boyhood. He walked little as a lad. The story goes1 that one pony was tethered at the front door of his ancestral Rappahannock home, and another—at the rear stoop. When he stepped outside, "Boots, Saddle, To Horse and Away.” Farm chores phased him not a bit. For he even rode his pony into the chicken house to gather the eggs, the nests having been built at a convenient height. In fact, Frank rode so much and walked so seldom that he found it a trifle disconcerting when he had to make long marches at military school. Having such a deepseated love for the sport himself, Frank determined that Terry should be given every chance to enjoy the thrill of hunting that goes with this Virginia way of life. At two years of age she was placed astride a hunter for a moment—she main_ taincd a perfect seat. When 8, she was given a pony. When a trifle older, the daughter was taken on her first hunt. She was so quick to grasp the finer points of the chase that soon she was riding regularly Alongside her father with the Rappahannock Hunts, the Fairfax Hunts and the Hazelview Hounds. soon l erry i ates was sent into competition in the horse shows. In her first big exhibition, at Upperville, America’s oldest horse show, she faced much older and far more experienced ' riders. Nevertheless her horsemanship drew favorable comment from veterans of the shows. — Previously, in her own class, Terry had won the Small Hunter Championship at the Congressional Horse Show at Burtonsville, Md.; and the Reserve Jr. . Championship at an earlier Fairfax Show.x Late in ^une, Terry won the blue, one red, one yellow and two whites at the Junior Equitation Show at the Red Barn, Alexandria plus the Junior Championship with its Silver Plate. In Warrenton’s July Show she won the Junior Championship; taking first in the Junior Corinthian Hunters, and third in Junior Hunters Under Saddle. Terry tips the scales just above 90 pounds. She’s five feet three inches tall. When away from the show ring she is a slightly reserved girl, but with the poise of a champion. Though horses appear to be her great love, she can chat endlessly on a variety of subjects, not mentioning her four-footed friends. Her Rappahannock friends ymember her as a graceful dancer and an expert swimmer. Whether she wins r loses this, her biggest race, a.aiss Terry Yates will be ever riding hard , to bring honor to her family and her Rappahannock relatives. Shen-Valley Meat Packers, Inc.

The switch to the new sign, which highway engineers believe provides a more effective warning, is being made gradually as the yel— low and black signs wear out or are damaged and have to be replaced. Highway engineers said the use. of stop signs having white letters on a red background has proven very effective in other states. Because red is commonly associated with stop or danger, it has the effect of alerting drivers more quickly than the yellow and black combination, which resembles a number of other warning signs used on* Virginia’s highway system. • ; The red and white signs are eight-sided and are of two sizes_ 30 inc res- and 24 inches. The larger signs have 10-inch letters and J&e installed at more important highway intersections. - The signs, that have been erected so far have been installed, at various points throughout the state.

During the drought of 1953 it was necessary for many farmers to turn to their woods to receive a cash crop when their farm crops failed. Many forest landowners in 1953 liguidated their forest stand, and by cutting everything merchantable at that time,^ will not be able to get another crop from their forest land in many cases for as long as fifty to seventy years. The Virginia Forest Service recommends that mature,, timber should be cut when ready 'and also ir pulpwood should be thinned from crowded pine stands. During these management, practices the landowner is able to receive periodical - crops instead of one crop from his woods each generation. GIGANTIC SUMMER CLEARANCE Starts Thursday A.M.
