Rappahannock News, September 16, 1954

Business seems to be swinging back to normal when automobile salesmen furnish cigars while demonstrating their convertibles, and then buy the customer a hot dog after the demonstration. That is the way I understand one salesman treats his customers. Next time you are down that way don't forget to stop by and get your cigar and hot dog. —-0 o o o __ A notice fronv the Board of Supervisors states that they will have a hearing on the Sunday - sale of beer and wine in Rappahannock County, at their next regular meeting, October 6. Anyone having any views on this matter should be at this meeting. v v u u With traditionally {Republican ‘Maine electing a Democratic governor the hopes of the Democratic Party are building up for more of the same in other sections of the country this Fall.

This is .84 over the rainfall in September 1953. WORK STARTED ON FLINT HILL FIRE HOUSE The dreams of a Fire House for Flint Hill took more tangible shape last week when excavation began on the site behind the home of Mrs. R. L* Massie, opening on the old Flint Hill Road. A one-story cinderblock building with basement under part of the first floor, will be constructed on this property given the Fire Company by Mrs. Massie. In the building, according to the latest plans, will be included a kitchen, a men and a ladies toilet, and recreation room (32x70) in addition to the firehouse proper. Since Clarence Jones began excavation last Wednesday with a bulldozer, the work has progressed rapidly. The basement has been pushed out and the foundation is now being dug. Cinderblock are being hauled in. By the first of the Week, the laying of the block will'' most probable begin. Since its organization in February, the Flint Hill Volunteer Fire Company, assisted by its Ladies Auxiliary, has sponsored many projects which through community cooperation, have proved successful. In this, their most ambitious undertaking, a similar spirit of cooperation already prevails. -5 *'£■■**• ■- • - • . h - ' ■. - - 4* - ' - • • Figures Prove 1954 Increase In County H, S.

This win moves the Chiefs into one game out of first place, with 13 wins and 7 losses, and automatically elects them to the play-offs. Charles Dodson was the hitting demon, getting 2 doubles and a single out of 4 times at bat. D. Dykes of the Grovers led off in the third inning with a single, followed by a double off the bat of Baskman which scored Dykes. Wyman singled,’ bringing in Baskmari for the 2-0 count. The game was tied up in the fourth as Elmer Foster singled, Charles Dodson doubled, and Ned Settle rapped out a single. A safe hit by Dodson sent him to base.

^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)-i-$2.00 a year WMNIIIliiillNIIHmiMIIUUni !••••«• i ttiaaiuaiiiMMMM RAPP-CHATS By: yjL. H. Lyne County Agent The U. S. Department of Agriculture recently announced the designation of crops which will be included under “total acreage allotments” when such allotments, are established for individual farms in connection with the administration of “Cross-Compliance and “use of diverted acres” in, 1955. Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson announced on June 22, at the time the 1955 wheat marketing quota was announced, that special provisions would be in effect in 1955 to influence the use of acres diverted from allotment crops. The special program requirements are designed to influence the use of diverted acres, helping to prevent shifts frofn surplus crops to other crops which might themselves soon be in surplus trouble. ine program is designed to aid In attaining a more balanced production and in bringing supplies more nearly in line with demand. Compliance with the program is voluntary except for crops under marketing quotas. Producers will have the choice of complying with their allotments and being eligible for price supports or disregarding their allotments and foregoing price-support privileges. Producers of crops under marketing quotas in .1955 are cautioned, however, that exceeding the farm acreage allot-? ments of marketing quota crops will make them subject to marketing quota penalties. For all farms, these provisions will require compliance with all individual crop acreage allotments established for the farm as a condition of eligibility for price support on any crop grown on the farm. IP Farmers have already been notified ^of their 1955 wheat acreage allotments. Allotment determinations for the other five basic crops (cotton, corn, peanuts, tobacco, and rice) have not yet been made. For farms where the limitations of individual crop allotments call for the diversion of more than 10 acres there will be an additional requirement. These larger operations will have a “total acreage allotment” established for the farm. In general, the total allotment will include the individual crop allot-i ments and the 1953 acreage of! other crops designated below. County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committees will be authorized to make limited adjustments in the 1953 acreage of designated crops in eases where the acreage were not representa-< tive because of drought or other conditions beyond the control of the operator. Operators of these total acreage allotment frams will then have to stay within the total farm acreage allotment, as well as within all individual crop allotments for the farm, in order to be eligible for price support on any crop. Total acreage allotments for farms will be determined before the planting season for spring crops. rarmers planting fall and winter seeded crops can use their 1953 acreage as a guide, since the 1953 acreage of all the crops and uses listed under group 1 and 2 below will be used 4n establishing the total farm acreage allotments. Today’s announcement designates the crops which will be included in determining the “total acreage allotment” and which also will be included in determing conn pliance with the total allotment in 19^5. Total farm acreage allotments in 1955 will include the following crops and crop uses: 1. The acreage of the following crops for harvest as grain or seed; small grains (such as buckwheat, barley, oats, spelt, emmer, etc.) the three scourges of man Devastating epidemics have ranked with war and famine as population levelers. Of these three scourges of man, pestilence was most dreaded. During the Black Plague epidemic of 1348, it was estimated that in some places over two-thirds of the population was wiped out. The discovery of bacteria as the cause of infectious disease is still within the memory of the living. Pasteur developed the first vaccine for rabies in 1885. Since that time many immunizing procedures have become routine. As a consequence, deaths from infectious diseases have been drastically reduced. , „ Everyone should be protected against-smallpox and diphtheria as an absolute minimum. Do net wait for an epidemic to break out. Then it is often too late. We maintain complete stocks of biologicals, subject to the orders of your physician. - LEWIS PHARMACY Dial 8322 CULPEPER v or mixture of small grains; wheat mixtures (in designated wheat mixture counties) soybeans annual ryegrass; sudan grass and millet; summer legume (such as cowpea, blafckeyed peas, velvet beans, mung beans, etc.); winter legumes (such as Austrian winte? peas, rough peas, crimson clover, vetch, lupines, etc). 2. The acreage of the following crops regardless of use, except as otherwise noted; sugar cane ot sorghum (sorgo) for sirup; field corn in non-commercial counties; Sorghums, except sorghum cut green for hay; popcorn, broomcorn and sweet corn; flaxseed tobacco not under marketing quotas; dry beans, dry peas, and lentils; Irish potatoes and sweet potatoes; commercial vegetables, melons and truck crops for fresh market or processing; ^ berries and small fruits; peanuts not picked and threshed; and hops. 3. The individual crop acreage allotments established for 1953 (wheat, corn in commercial areas, peanuts, tobacco, and both upland and extra long staple cotton are under allotments in 1954). 4. The acreage of any basic crop not under allotments (rice is the only basic crop not under allotments in 1954). 5. The planted acreage of sugar; beets and sugar cane in 1953, unless proportionate shares for farms are established for these crops. If proportionate shares are established for 1955, these will be used in calculating total farm allotments. (On August 26, USDA announced proportionate share for1 sugarcane farms in La. and Fla., for the 1955 crop.) Hay, cover crop, green manure crops, pasture, summer fallow, idle cropland, and any other crops or uses not listed above are outside the group used in determining “total farm acreage allotments” or in determining compliance with such allotments. They can be grown to any extent the farmer wishes. The Johnson Reunion (Editor’s Note—As August 27 fell on our vacation week, we had to forego the below described gathering, to which we were so generously invited. It was with misgiving that we did forego it, and now, hearing talk of such ‘feasting, and good times’ we again bemoan our absence.) On August 27, 1954, the clan of Johnsons that descended from William Johnson I of the Red Oak Mountains met for their 4th Reunion at the old Wood place near Sperryville, the former home of J. Walton Wood, now owned by C. El (Ned) Johnson, Jr. We found this lovely place an ideal setting for such a gathering. The large magnificant oaks furnished a splendid shade for a hot day. The folks gathered from far and near—JNew York^, JNew Jersey, Maryland, Washington, D. C., Florida and Virginia. There were about 160 or more present. After greeting each other the clan was called to order by the President C. E. Johnson, Jr. Mr. Johnson introduced Albert Johnson of New York, who in turn introduced Judge Bolitha Laws, of Washington, D. C. Mr. Laws made a very interesting short talk. A delicious picnic lunch was served with most everything good to eat and drink that any one could wish for. After lunch (when all were so full of good things- the clan was again called to order and the officers were appointed for the coming year. They were: President* C. E. Johrison, Jr.; 1st Vice-President, Raymond Johnson; 2nd Vice President, William H. Johnson; Sec.-Treas., Mrs. R. M. Johnson. After more talking, the clan disbanded promising to meet again next year if the Lord be willing. We hope to have a larger gather ing another year. —One of the Clan Mr. and Mrs. Russell Cave have moved here from Griffinsburg into the tenant house t>f Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Ramey.

Changes Among the recent changes made in the Social Security law was an increase in the amount of the monthly payment? made to individuals who are now receiving oldage and survivors insurance checks, according to Henrietta Mode, field representative of the Alexandria social security office. She stressed that it is not necessary for beneficiaries to contact a social security office to apply for these increases, as they will be made automatically. The checks issued in October for the month of September will contain the higher amount. There are 106 men, women and children in Rappahannock County receiving old-age and survivor’s insurance benefits. Miss Mode explained that the amount of the increase will not be the same for everyone. In the case of a retired worker, the increase; will be at least $5. His dependents or survivors who are receiving monthly benefits will, in most; cases, receive a proportionate increase in their payments. Thd minimum social security payment has been increased from $25 to $30, and the maximum payment has been increased from $85 to $98.50. The maximum monthly amount payable on one record has been increased from $168.75 to $200. All increases will be made in accordance with a table set forth in the law. A sample table showing some of the increases in the retired workers checks is given below: Old Payment New Payment! (monthly) A $25.00 $30.00 40.00 45.00 55.00 60.00 70.00 78.50 85.00 98.50 A representative of the Alexandria social security office is in Washington, Va., on the fourth Wednesday of each month, and may be contacted at County Agent’s Office, Court House, fof information on social security and for assistance in filing claims for benefits.

Avoid Drinking Unapproved Water Avoid drinking water from any source other than an approved public supply or from wells or springs that are examined regularly and are known' to be safe for drinking. If it should be necessary to drink water that is suspected of being contaminated or the safety of which is unknown, boil it before taking it into the body. Water differs from other articles of diet in that it is partaken raw while 90 per cent of all other food is disinfected by cooking before it is consumed. It comes in contact with many different thiifgs spread over wide areas and is the natural vehicle for removal of wastes from these areas.
