There are- plans underway in the Flint Hill community to organize a Little League Baseball Team. This activity could provide wholesome fun for the younger set, an every game practice of good, sportsmanship, as well as preparing youths for county teams. It is hoped that the idea will not die out for lack of support from the older folks. o o o o Mkny persons have contributed their time and energy to working in_the Washington_Firemen’s Carnival. These are .to be con• gratulated for their clear thinking that has made them realize that; this is a COMMUNITY UNDERTAKING, not an individual or a group one. However, on the darker side, there are yet —some who let petty grudges or disagreements keep them from volunteering their help. For goodness sakes, push aside these childish difficulties and pitch in and da your part. Don’t wait to be asked.\ o o o o Mrs. Gordon Thorrthill of Boston phoned in the answer to last week’s question: Who is the commander-in-chief of the Pacific Fleet and what incident, prompted his remark: “U. S. fliers are under orders to be quick on the trigger if a hostile pass is made at them.” Commander-in-Chief Felix Stump was discussing the shooting down of two Chinese Red planes by American fliers. •-a O- O O . . " ' ’ " * ',■* * •--.•■/yjr For this "week’s question we go to the world of poetry: What Russian poet is looked upon as the Shakespeare of Russia?” For the correct answer to this one, there’s a free subscription, _~ Less Rain In 1954 During the month of July 1954> 2.27 inches of rain fell in Washington, Virginia giving us 1.31 inches more than in July 1953 and .84 inches less than a seven year annual average. To date we have had 1.31 inches less rain than the first seven months in 1953. Trial Justice Coses N The Commonwealth vs. Pete Anderson Atkins; charged with forgery; sent to grand jury.

The Commonwealth vs. George Brook Jenkins; charged with allowing non-licensed operator to operate motor vehicle on highway; The Commonwealth vs. James Matthew Settle; charged with,no operator’s license; fined $5 and Firemen’s Carnival Opened Monday Night As the ferris wheel moves swiftly, its star of spokes glittering and the bomber glides gracefully in its arc, from the twister comes shrill laughter and from the kiddie boats, happy “clang clangs." . . . With all its charms, the carnival has come to the world of youth. -Not-confuring itself—to—the younger set, the carnival in Washington this week of August 2-7, has drawn, with its attractions, etfery age to enjoy the numerous games, sticky apples and the carnival hot dog. Behavior at the Washington Firemen’s carnival has been excellent due largely to the cleanness, of* the show itself. Among displays on the grounds is the Washington Rescue Squad Car and its equipment including the Oxygen Equipment, First Aid Kit, stretchers and splints. A deep freeze will be given away by^ the Fire Company as a grand climax to the carnival on Saturday night. Each night free prizes are given to persons attending the carnival. With only three more nights remaining of the festivities, the time is short for you £q make plans for the Washington Carnival. CHIEFS TROUNCE FRONT ROYAL A. C. The hard hitting Rappahannock Chiefs ran up a 23-3 score over the Front Royal Athletic Club, Sunday afterhodn as Jackie Sisk sehf one Front Royal hitter after another to the ^howers with his 14 strike-outs._ _ _ The Athletic Club led off in the first inning with a 1-0 score over the £hiefs as Hurst walked, Pingly singled, and Ellinger singled to bring in the run. Rappahannock began their streak of good hits when Strother Brown smashed a home run in their half of the frame. In the 2nd, Rappahannock, brought in 5 on singles-by Newbill Miller, Jim Settle and Jackie Sisk, a home run by Strother Brown, and two more singles from the bats of Pete Clater and Ned Settle. Front Royal, overwhelmed by the furious hitting of the Chiefs, failed to score until the 9th. Meanwhile, the Rappahannock team continued advancing their lead. In the fourth, they added one run on a single by J. Sisk and Pete Clater* ^ r Ned Settle walked in the first' of the fifth, as E. Foster tripled, Charles Dodson knocked a homer, N. ^Miller walked, J. Settle singled, J. Sisk walked, S. Brown, doubled and Pete Clater, Ned Settle and Charles Dodson singled, accounting for 9 runs. „ Home ruiis by Pete Clater and Ned Settje and a double by S. Brown sent the Chiefs 3 more runs forward in their one sided victory. The seventh saw more fine hitting from every member of the Chiefs’ nine. Newbill Miller singled, Edward Clark walked, S. Brown doubled and Pete Clater and B. Clater singled* Both sides failed to score in the eighth. In their final inning, Front Royal’s Ellinger was safe on an, error, Shipe was safe on an error and Ramey clouted a triple to bring in 2 runs. 98 Enrolled In Bible School At Amissville Commencement exercises for the Amissville Baptist Church Vacation Bible School were conducted Friday night, July 30 with each department presenting a resime of their week’s activities. Many articles which had been made in handicraft classes were gn display, including boudoir dolls, fashioned—by the intermediate girls, bookends, built by the intermediate girls, small doll beds made in the junior girls’ class and numerous other products of hours of patient work. Ninty-eight pupils and workers enrolled in the Bible School by Friday with an average daily at—tendance for the week of 84. An offering was taken each day for missions; this offering amounted to $15.00. Friday night’s offering went to defray the expenses of materials and refreshmentsr Miss Helen Craddock of Charlottesville advised and assisted the faculty and workers in their guidance of the pupils. The teachers of the, school would like to thank all of those interested persons who helped to make the Bible School the success it undoubtedly was. Warren J. Riley Warren Jackson Riley of Vienna, formerly a resident of Amissville, and the *on of Mm Maggie Riley, was drowned Sunday at Benedict, Md. in the Patuexent River when friends were unable to rescue him after ' he dived from his fishing boat into the water for a swim. - Mr. Riley attended Rapparannock High School and served in the Army during the war with a paratroop unit in the European Theater. He was wounded while on active duty in Holland. Mr. Riley is surrvived by his wife, Eunice, three children, his; mother, three sisters and a brother. FLINT HILL A. C. TOPS NT. JACKSON Keyser’s 3 hits in 5 trips to bat lead the Flint Hill Athletic Club to a 7-3 win over Mt. Jackson in Sunday’s game, on the Athletic Club’s home diamond. North went the distance for Flint Hill allowing 3 unearned runs while giving up only 5 hits and no walks/ Bauserman was the losing pitcher with 7 runs on 16 hits and no walks. - MT.

Supervisors A. C. Latham, E. M. Estes, Henry Wood and chairman J. P. Cook discussed various road problems, heard two cairns and met the new Sanatarian. Supervisor AVt C. Campbell had —been excused.P. D. Cold iron appeared before the board at the request of the Supervisors to advise them on local road issues. There was discussion on the question brought up by> Estes “to work on the streets in the town of Sperryville.” Supervisor Wood expressed his opinion that any extra money left over from any designated fund, should be used in his district. Further discussion on this matter was tabled until the September meeting, as there was involved the point of whether funds once designated for a specific purpose could be used once the initial purpose was fulfilled, for other work ini that district; for work in another; district, or must they be turneddirectly back into a general fund; Two claims were presented by C. Ennis Brown, Game Warden, on behalf of G. W. Timber and D. T. Smith. Timbers lost chickens and for this fowl claim was awarded $5.50. Smith’s sheep 'daitn was upheld and compensation was $14.00. Rappahannock’s Sanitarian, Lowry M. Stoops, expressed his willingness to meet with the supervisors at any future meeting to report on county conditions. _Various smaller matters were under discussion but no new motions were made. Rapplt Fanners Flan Field Demonstration t J. M. O’Bannon, A. C. Latham, Sr., and "County Agent W. H. Lyne represent Rappahannock on the Four State Farmers Committee, which recently selected the equipment to be demonstrated in the 'Field Demonstration Day, the new name for the annual farm tour sponsored by the Four State Farmers. This year, the tour will be held on August 20 at the farms of Earl Remsberg, Buckeystown, Maryland, located on Route 15 about 5 miles east of Frederick, -Maryland. The name of the organization's yearly event has been changed, states President Herman Stockslager, because “we have had to stop going from farm to farm due to the tremendous number of fanners attending these demonstrations. Our first four eight years ago was attended by about 80 persons; our last tour drew approximately 3,000. That* is far too many people to move from farm to farm so we are how bringing the equipment to adjoining farms to be demonstrated.” This day-long demonstration will be jointly presented by the Four-State Farmers Association and the Mar-Del-Va Farm Equipment Dealers Association.' The program will be conducted with the assistance of the Extension Service of the Agricultural Engineering Dept., College of Agriculture, University of Maryland and the Farm Department, Poto- • mac Edison System. Flint Hill Boy Scouts Honor Troop At Camp Rock Enon In competition with numerous other troops, Flint Hill Boy Scout Troop 36 was chosen 3 days as the honor troop during their week of camping at Camp Rock Enon at Gore, July 25-August 1. The Scouts were rated fourth when matched with 10 other troops in Field Day events on Saturday. Scout Master Paul Nichols, Dudley Wood and Johnny Browning, Star Scouts ; Glenn Williams,' Buddy and Bobby Moore, Second Class; and Tenderfeet Marvin Bradford, III, Larry Carpenter and Bobby Sealock took part in; every available educational activity and placed winners in many, events. Dudley Wood and Johnny Browning were awarded Nature Merit Badges and Firemanship Badges while Buddy Moore received an honor merit for Firemanship. Eight points were won by the Scouts as they placed fourth in, the Saturday Field Day, where the following placings were awarded: Bobby Sealock, 3rd, Sitting Down Broad Jump; Larry Carpenter and Marvin Bradford, 3rd, String Burning; Johnny Browning, 2nd, Undressing Race; Dudley Wood, 3rd, Tembcr Hitch; Dudley Wood and Buddy Moore, 2nd, Potato Relay; Bobby Moore, 3rd, Steam Boat Race. ■ . V -rSwimming Classes 7 Draw 38 Pupils Thirty-eight youths and young people of the county, including 30 from Sperryville, Woodville and vicinity and eight from Washington and vicinity are attending regularly the swimming classes being conducted at Old Hollow this; week by instructor Miss Mary Martha Korte of Culpeper. A certified Red Cross swimming instructor, Miss Korte is^ quickly winning the admiration and respect of her pupils and their, parents, with her pleasing personality and her teaching technic. Several parents are taking turns at staying during lessons to assist Miss Korte, if she would need their help. An interesting observation made by several parents is that in 1952 when the classes were first organized the majority of tlie students were in the beginners _ class or else the non-swimmers classes. This year the beginners, class is quite small. And all of the original beginners are now swimming with the greatest of ease and cPnfidence. These advanced groups are working to improve their technique and to learn all of the main strokes and kicks. It is very evident' that the past two years of classes have helped the students. ' These swimming classes are sponsored by the local. Red Cross 'chapter. Chiefs To Meet First Place Grovers The Rappahannock Chiefs will meet the League Leading Oak Grovers on the Chiefs’ home diamond this Sunday afternoon at 2:30. Although the Chiefs have won their last five games and hold se6ond place by 2 games they have never won over the Grovers. i

Washington as viewed by YOUR SENATOR A. WILLIS ROBERTSON AEC BILL IMPROVED BY LENGTHY DEBATE The two weeks of debate, including four allnight sessions, which preceded passage of the bill Amending the Atomic Energy Act aroused the usual criticism of filibuster tactics and prompted suggestions that Senate rules permitting unlrmfteddebate should—be changed. Unquestionably time was wasted by repeating the same statements of facts over and over and there were instances of Sena tors wandering from the subject of debate for the obvious purpose of consuming time. Talcen as a whole, - however, this debate illustrated the value of a system abased on rules formulated by Thomas Jefferson, because it allowed -time—for members -of -the— Senate to inform themselves and obtain public reaction to the proposals before us and I believe the bill we passed was superior in many respects to the one reported by the Committee. That bill was more than one hundred pages in length and revised every one of the twenty-one sections of the Atomic Energy Control Act passed in 1946, the year after our first nuclear bomb was exploded. Last February, in a special message to Congress, Presdent Eisenhower recommended changes in the law whch admi n >. tr a t i o n_lAders I n corporated in two separate blls, one dealing with international aspects and the other concerned primarily with tby* WaU-FUttd Reductions Up To 25% SUMMER SHOES Complete, selections from our regular stocks representing exceptional Values, substantially reduced in price for this great semi-annual thrift event.

BOWIE.... • • * ^ , v ./ ; ‘ ., Entered as second-class mail matter at the post office at Washington, Virginia - -----rr-——■— -——• SUBSCRIPTION; (in advance) .—,—-----’— $2.00 a year encouragng development of peacetime uses of atomc energy in the United States. The .subject matter of both of these bills was included in the single bill whch the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy presented to the House and Senate for acton last- month. l nere was little disagreement on the international aspects of the bill but the domestic development proposals were highly controversial. The first attack came on a proposal for the Atomic Energy Commisson to contact private' utilities to build a steam plant which would furnish electrcity to 1VA at Memphis, Tennessee to replace energy used by the AEC at Paducah, Kentucky. This was opposed not only by a group of senators who wanted the TVA to bi^ld its own steam plant but also by others who were^ concerned about terms of the contract, especially a provision that the private utility company would be reimbursed for all Federal, State and local tax payments. Efforts to block the contract failed but an Amendment was adopted forbdding the AEC to reimburse Federal income tax payments under any of its contracts with private companies. But, the major objection ter the bill was based upon fears that the public interest, represented by an investment of twelve billion dollars of Federal tax funds in nuclear research and production, might not be adequately safeguarded and that some companies or individuals might be given an unfair advantage as compared wth others. At the insistence of those who opposed the bill because of those fears, the Senate adopted amendments which included the following provisions: Authorizing establishment of a division in the Atomic Energy^ Commission to . study civilian uses. Requiring the Federal Power Commission to regulate those licensed for interstate transmission of power produced by atomic energy. Permitting the Atomic Energy Commtsstoa ^t^cotildnict realtors—to— produce power for its own use as well as for experimental purposes if it chooses to do so and if Congress is willing to provide the necessary funds. Requiring those who obtain patents on atomic processes during the next 10 years to license others to use those processes, thus preventing monopolies by companies which Have had experience under past government contracts. Requiring an executive order certifying to the defense requirements before atomic developments can be undertaken in national parks.
