Rappahannock News, September 23, 1954

V I «.flii OBSERVATIONS PRO and CON %%%%%%% W. A. Miller answered last week’s .question correctly when he told us early Tuesday morning that Robert W. Service in his poem: “The Law of the Yukon” said “Send not your foolish and feeble send me your strong and your sane —” ' o o o o For this week’s free subscription to the Rappahannock News be the first to correctly identify the following extract from a poem and its author. “It’s easy enough in the world to live after the world’s opinion. It’s easy enough' in solitude to live after your own ... But the great qian is he who in the midst of the crowd can keep with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.” ' According to columnist Benjamin 'Muse, an unofficial applause meter at the Jefferson-Jackson - Day Dinner in Richmond last Mar. . 4, showed the following results: Senator A. Willis Robertson, 100; former Gov. John S. Battle, 94; Stephen T. Mitchell, Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, ,89; Congressman Tuck, 85; Senator Byrd, 81; Governor Stanley, 73. From this report it is easy to see that the “bloom is off the rose.” - . ' ' ^ * ^ '* O O rt ^ With election day only six weeks -off it istime to make comparisons between a man who has spent the greater portion of his life serving the citizens of Virginia—in the State Legislature, in the House of Representatives and in the U. S. Senate. Or a man vvho has only in the past few years moved into the State, and has spent a number of years out- of the United States, and out of touch with the needs of the people he now is asking to represent. o o o o We would like to know what the men . on the Washington town council did—:if anything—prior to 1950. According to the report of the accomplishments of the ladies, furnished us this week, nothing of importance could have been done. Everything must have been left for the ladies. Of course, the town did have a Town Hall, the streets were all paved, there was a water system, street lights, street marker signs, financial assistance given to the Washington Volunteer Fire Department, $3,000.00 in a savings account, $1,333.89 on a checking account. But, really none of that is worth mentioning in comparison to the 48 accomplish-' v ments enumerated by the ladies’ report. . o o o o We wish we could let you know the number of Sunday Schools in this county, but that would take up too much space, so we are going, to mention just a few: The \r Washington Methodist Sunday School, organized this year and having a wonderful meeting every ) Sunday; the Mount Salem Sunday C School, (organized last Sunday. , - And the Episcopal Sunday School, to be started in the very near future. Do you want any better , proof that our county is a wideawake and prospering county? We feel that every community has a need for as many denominational Sunday Schools, &a there are denominations in the community, - , and’each one has its place and need."" ' v - ' need. Therefore we look with pride at these'three nefr Sunday Schools. Centennial Services At Flint Hill Baptist Church Sunday, 26 The Centennial of the Flint Hill First Baptist Church will be observed with Homecorfting and All Day services this Sunday, September 26. , The Morning Service, beginning at 11 o’clock will include a sermon: “God’s People” by the beloved former pastor, Rev. Louis » Broughman, and special music rendered by the Senior arid Junior Choirs. In the afternoon services, opening at 2 p.m. with a hymn, Rev. G. M. Peters will deliver the message, and the choir will again render special music. = All the friends of the church are invited to attend this Centennial All Day Service. Building Erected 1&54 HISTORY OF FLINT HILL BAPTIST CHURCH Sometime before 1770, while the community was still sparsely settled, Allen Wiley, whom Semple the historian, calls a man of respectable standing, in the absence of a spiritual leader gathered his friends at his home and urged upon them the claims of the Gospel. We are told that Mr. , Wiley went all the way to Pittsylvania County in search of a preacher to preach the Gospel in his community. There-he met Elder Samuel Harris whom he persuaded to return with him to what is now Rappahannock, but then a part of Culpeper County.- On their return Mr. Harris held services in the Wiley home. Bitter opposition, however, drove him from there to Orange County. And thus Baptist preaching was first introduced into our county. It may be of interest to state that Mr. Wiley lived near the present village of Flint Hill. Probably on the farm now owned by the Devers family. After the days of Mr. Wiley there lived and died an honest Baptist minister in the neighborhood of Flint Hill. We refer to the Rev. Lewis Connor, a faithful preacher of the truth, as it is in Jesus. Mr. Connor died at his home near Flint Hill during the summer of 1832, ibeing 86 years of age. See CHURCH—page 7 Attention... Flint Hill Patrons All patrons and friends of Flint Hill Elementary School are invit-** ed to meet in the school building on Tuesday, September 28 at 7:30 p.m. At this time we hope to decide whether the Flint Hill school will reorganize a Parents-Teacher .Association for the 1954-55 session. \ ' Mrs. Annie A. Cooke /v Mt. Salem Organizes Sunday School Dept. In an organization meeting Sunday afternoon, Mt. Salem Baptist Church in Rock Mills elected officers for a Sunday School Department addition to their recently re-opened Church. James Burke was elected as the Sunday School’s Superintendent with Miss Mary E. Smoot elected as the Assistant Superintendent. For the responsible position of Secretary-Treasurer the 25 persons present chose Miss Corine Burke. t Miss Smoot also will teach [the combined Beginner and Primary Department, with James Burke teaching the Juniors and Miss Martha Smoot, the Intermediates.

Henley officiated at the burial services. A native of Rappahannock, Mr. Jenkins lived as a farmer at Nethers Mill for many of his 70 some years. He was sick for some time prior to his death. Mr. Jenkins is survived by his wife, Mrs. Yenie Jenkins of Nethers Mill and a son,Hugh, of Luray. Chiefs Lose 4-0; Give Mt. Jackson IsL Of Series Four unearned runs gave Mt.

MELVIN WILLIAMS If you were to visit the farm of Miss Mary Bruce at Forest Grove you wTould be sure to notice some very definite improvements made this summer —mainly the new white board fence and the addition to the barn to accommodate their 12 dairy cows. Melvin Williams had a good bit to do with these improvements. Melvin is our 4-H dairyman in Rappahannock County. He has been a 4-H club member for eight years and has been increasing his projects each year. Last year Melvin was awarded the coveted achievement award for his 4-H work so far. His net profit on his 15 different projects stands at $670.55. Melvin owns six dairy cows that are in production at the present time. He is installing a milk cooler and a concrete floor for grade B milk. Even though the conversion costs some money, Melvin says “with the extra 60c per 100 pounds of milk, I figure the cooler and concrete will pay for itself before to long.” Year before last Melvin tried his hand at the Farm and »Home Electrication project. He finished as the boy doing the best job in the county and was awarded a 3day all-expense-paid trip to Richmond to attend the Electric Congress. After dairying, Melvin’s next interest is with beef cattle. He has. a very good start with an Angus cow and heifer that he originally bought from J. Rodes Brown through the Rappahannock Angus Breeders Association. He is continuing his corn project again this year and has three acres of pretty decent corn to feed his livestock. Melvin has held offices in his school club and now we are depending on him as a leader for the Forest Grove 4-H Club. We shall be proud to present Melvin with a year pin this fall for his 8 years of good club work. BREAKS ARM /AT. FALL Richard Burke fell while swinging on a pole in his yard Saturday afternoon, and suffered a broken arm. Young Richard, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Lester Burke of Washington, was rushed to the Warren Memorial Hospital, where x-rays confirmed the feared break. His arm was set, and Richard returned home with his parents.. .. ...V Sv • ' , . “ •' Ladies Make List Of “Good Deeds” In Two Terms September 1, 1950 when the ladies went into office the Town of Washington had a bank balance of $3000.00 on savings and $1333.89 on checking account.

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 : fin advance) r______ $2.00 a year “Education” In Virginia According to information from some of the counties throughout the Old Dominion school facilities are on the increase. Consequently the growth of the counties is inevitable, for with better schools more business will enter these counties, furnishing better means of livelihood for the high school graduates. * In the Tidewater area, prefabricated school buildings allowed 4,200 pupils to go to school all day last year, instead of in shifts. The local boards took a chance on a new development in the construction industry . . and the chance seems to ibe paying off. Since the Fall of 1953, 138 desperately needed classrooms have been built in the Tidewater area under the pre-fab idea, at a cost of from $4,500 to $6,000 apiece. The buildings require only 45 to 6*0 days to complete. Norfolk County pioneered in the effort, with an eight-room addition to its Pineridge School that was started on October 10, 1953. The addition consisted of two steel buildings, erected side by side, with a 12-foot corridor running between. The total cost was $44,000, compared with $135,000 for a six-room addition of conventional masonry al^ a nearby school. The result of the experiment was that the addition was open for the youngsters after Christinas vacations. The construction took a little more than two months. In Buckingham County two major school projects: One is a $350,000 Negro high school; the other is a $250,000 white elementary school. . Nelson County is spending $600,000 for a consolidated high school to replace the secondary schools. Madison County has a school project for a $500,000 white high school. Greene County officials are preparing to ask bids for a new Ne Australian Newsman Takes Objective jLook at America Often one can’t see the forest for all of the trees. ’Being too close to something too long can dull perception. Bryce Kinnear, an Australian newspaperman who visited the United States for three months, came on the American scene with the friendly inquisitiveness of a stranger. He looked, and then looked again. What he saw puzzled, pleased, mystified and sometimes intrigued him. What many Americans take for granted he questioned. The American standard of living, on the average, is higher than the Australian standard, he observed. “But basically, jt’s higher m things that are adjuncts to life, not essential to it. Things like bigger automobiles with more chrome more often, home freezers as well_ as refrigerators, television sets, and dishwashing machines.” These things, he maintained, drive Americans forward in a frenzied rush to nowhere. As a side reaction, fatigued persons, unable to enjo^ what .they’ve worked so hard to gain, fall prey to fear. Jealously they see inAgj^ nary sectional and national plots to part them from their possessions. The extreme preoccupation of adults, on one hand, and the almost irresponsibility of youth, on the other, is a paradox of extravagant productive and competitive races. Youth, schooled to be carefree and happy, mature one bright day gro elementary school. r Louisa County is constructing a $41,500 Negro elementary school; a $55,000 Negro e 1 e m e ntary school; a $90,000 addition to the Louisa High School, and a $63,000 addition to the Louisa elementary school. Facts and figures on school construction in Rappahannock could not be secured . . . ! "this our fathers bought for us.. Kipling was speaking of precious human freedom when he wrote, 'This our fathers bought for us long and long ago.” But courage and valor are not solely the virtues of brave fighting men in combat. It took no less courage for men like Pasteur, Lister, Koch, and hosts of others to struggle for scientific truth against cries of heresy from the ignorant and the super* stitious.

Then, unprepared for the ordeal, they fall into the same grind and compound the errors of their - parents, mistakingly hoping to gain more happiness with more products, produced faster. Mr. Kinner intimated that a slower pace and a revived interest in uncluttered family life could really wring more from the American productive machine. Instead of harried parents urging their children out to enjoy the felicities of high speed autos, more serene parents could cultivate their children’s mental and moral worth. Mr. Kinnear’s suggestions and observations merit consideration. The road to the grave doesn’t have to be a speed-scorched stainless steel expressway.

Forester Marks Trees For Removal ' . 4f A VIRGINIA FOREST SERVICE FORESTER ^marking trees which should be removed from a young immature forest stand. By removing crooked, weak and unhealthy trees, a greater return can be obtained from the forest in future cuttings. | RAPP-CHATS ! s s : By: W. H. Lyne Z 2 z s I County Agent I 8 CORN: Last year we learned much about how corn will substitute in part for roughage in maintaining cattle. George C. Herring, Assistant Director of tfie V. P. I. Extension Service, advises corn harvest has started in Southeastern Virginia and already is moving to the market direct from the field at prices favorable to the buyer. Sources of supply and prices have been requested—if you are interested contact us. Save your best heifer calves for herd replacements. The Animal Husbandry Department of V. P. I. announces a new leaflet on steer production will soon be out. Judging by the moore recent publications put out “by these men I’ll wager this leaflet will be chock full of good information. Copies will soon be available here at the office. The commercial cow business is alright, however, the steer business has been neglected by your scribe. There are many Rappahannock farms adapted to steer production and maybe our cow • business is getting a bit crowded. - Yearling steer sales started in Virginia some three years ago have proven very satisfactory to both the producer and buyer. America’s favorite hat the whippet by STETSON Here is one popular reason why more people wear Stetson hats than any other brand—the Stetson Whippet, biggest selling hat in America. , Men feel the Whippet rounds out their wardrobes, brings out their own distinctive good looks. It's trim, jaunt versatile—in good taste anywhere. Try it on today—ryou won't tvant to take it off. $]Q F.E. WHITE & CO. ‘THE WHITE SHOP” i .. CULPEPER • «. • . * »* * r Madison County is holding its first yearling steer sale at Culpeper at 3:30 p.m. on October 1. With organized outlets of this, sort coming along it might be worth your while to buy feeder steer calves at the fall or spring sales and cash in on them the following fall. These sales, are packaging their offering *in a manner similar to our Feeder Calf Sales with which you are familiar. Then too the Rappahannock Angus Feeder Calf Association will have about 100 yearling steers to offer at their sale on October 12 at Front Royal Livestock Market.Our producers of grass finished steers need no longer go to North Carolina or into southwestern Virginia to purchase their feeders. It will be plenty convenient to buy them close by and in many cases you’ll probably be able to get much more uniformity in size, quality and color. We have certainly seen some ragged lots come With continuing dry weather we can expect more Vitamin A trouble in sheep this year. Results of such a shortage are: Premature lambs, or if carried the normal length of time, they may be born dead or very week and die shortly after birth. The best winter sources of Vitamin A are: winter pastures, yellow corn, and green leafy legume hay. If these are not available then feed a Vitamin A Supplement before and after lambing with the grain ration. - If you plan to buy ewes in the next few weeks, buy them bred. Sheep are a mighty good livestock investment. Now is the time to market hogs weighing 180-200 lbs. Additional gairis usually means less profit. Water Facility Loans Now Available Charles B. Waddell, State Director of Farmers Home Administration, has announced that Waiter Facilities loans are now available to Virginia farmers. Soil Conservation loans also will be available as soon as detailed arrangements can be worked out, Mr. Waddell added. Water % Facilities loans have been available in the 17 Western — States since 1937 and legislation recently passed by Congress extended the water facilities loans to-the entire United States. It is believed that these loans will be of benefit especially to drought-stricken farmers for establishment of irrigation systems and other water facilities. Many farmers have been hard hit by drought the past 3# years. « Loan* funds may be ik»£ d to pay cash cost of materials, equipment and services directly related to the application of soil and water conservation practices, water facilities and drainage. This includes construction or repair of terraces, ditches, ponds, wells, pumping and irrigation equipment and similar facilities. % Waddell said soil and water conservation loans will be made to carry out only the types of soil and water conservation practices that are recommended by Extension Service or Soil Conservation Service. The Farmers Home Administration is authorized to insure loans up to a total of $25,000,000 etch fiscal year. Congress also appropriated $11,500,000 for this type of direct assistance for the 1955 fiscal year. Loans from appropriated funds carry an interest charge of 5per cent, On insured loans, private lenders will receive 4 per cent and in addition the borower will pay 1 per cent for insurance. ' Loans, either insured or direct, cannot be made to farmers who are able to obtain necessary credit on reasonable terms from private or cooperative sources, It is expected that water facilities loans to a farmer will be $5,000 or less. All loans will be secured by the best lien obtainable on chattels or real estate to the extent necessary to adequately protect the interest of the government. Farmers from Rappahannock County may apply for this assistance at the Farmers Home Administration Office in Culpeper at 505 North Main Street, Telephone No. 8115.

Miss Ruby Jenkins, Clerk Washington Town Council CHURCH—From page 1 Thaadeus Herndon told the “Story of Jesus”, in and around the village of Flint Hill. In fact, it was he who encouraged Alfred Dearing, Braxton Eastham, Anson Dearing, James Moore and a few others to erect in the village of Flint Hill, a house to the honor and glory of God. And. so on the 20th of December in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and fifty-three Alfred Dearing and his wife in consideration of the sum of one dollar conveyed to Anson Dearing, James Moore, Edward Dearing, Willis Dearing and Braxton Eastham trustees for the Baptist Society in Flint Hill and to their successors in office forever a certain parcel of land now commonly known as the Baptist Church lot. The same to be used and kept as a place of public worship for their proper use and benefit of their successors forever. James Moore consented to oversee the building of the house and freely gave of his time arid the labor of his slaves. Anson Dearing gave a considerable sum of money that the house might be erected. And we have reason to believe the church was finished the following year. For on September 28th,/T854 the covenant was written and signed. Anson Dearing, James Moore, Alfred Dearing, John S. Browning, James Young, Sr., Braxton Eastham, Margaret Ball, Sarah F. Young, Ann M. Browning, Louisa Jordan, Martha A. Jett, Jane Wood, Maria Moore, Ann Dearing, (Mary A. Brown, Ann E. Dearing, Mary E. Wood, Phoebe Eastham, Mary Morrison, Martha E. Moore, Jane N. Moore, Ann Amiss, Alice Reid, Lucy E. Eastham, William G. Wood, Elvina Moore, Sarah M.* Moore are believed to have been the charter members. These members brought letters stating they were members of good standing in a church of the same faith, Mt. Salem, which is near Washington, is thought of as the “Mother Church” as many of the charter members held membership and worshiped there. Although^ Thaadeus Herndon ~ was instrumental in the building of the church, he was not called to administer to the flock which he had gathered. In October 1854 Barnett Grimsley became the first pastor of the church. During the first year of Mr. Grimsley’s pastorate the church was admitted into the Shiloh Association and sent the following delegates—Alfred Dearing, Braxton Eastham, James Moore and Dr. John S. Browning. Within the next few years the debt incurred while building the house was eliminated and the church was more thoroughly organized by the election of a faithful corps of deacons namely: Anson Dearing, Alfred Dearing, and James Moore. Each of these continued to serve as lohg as he lived. Dr. John S. Browning was elected clerk land served faithfully for many years. Dr. Browning was the youngest of this group. During the Rev. Barnett Grimsley’s pastorate the war between the states was fought. In church records we find no direct references to the war, but in the church yard we find a simple shaft on which is inscribed, A. C. Willis, Mosby’s Command, Killed October 13, 1&64. Willis was a young Baptist layman. He was hanged by command of General Powell, a Union officer, in retaliation for a Union soldier said to have been killed by Mosby’s men. t'he Union soldier was acting as a spy. Willis is remembered because he willingly took the place of a comrade; the comrade feeling that he was not prepared to die. We like to think that his sacrifice illustrates the death of Christ for, “Greater love hath no man than this; that a man lay down his life for his friends”. Four score years later another - soldier, a soldier of World War I, home on furlough carved fromwood taken from the tree on which Willis was hanged, a gavel. This gavel was presented to the Shiloh Baptist Association and i3 used at the Association meetings.

The 1954 Amendments to the So.cial Security Act contain a provision that directly concerns survivors of certain individuals who died after 1939 and before September 1950. If sifeh an individual had at least six quarters of coverage,, or one and one-half years of work covered by the law, his survivors may now be entitled to social security benefits. Under the prvious law, workers who died prior to September 1950 must have had more than six quarters of coverage to be insured upon death. In many of these coses*,the survivors inquired or applied for benefits, and were told they "\Vere not entitled because the deceased ' worker did not have the required amount of work. However, many of these workers did have as muc as one and one-half years, ami now their survivors may be entitled to benefits. The survivors who may be entitled to monthly benefits under this provision are the unremarried widow age 65 or over, the unremarried widow under age 65 who has a child under 18 in her care, and children under 18. Benefits may also be paid to dependent pa^rentsif the worker was not survived by a widow or child. In order to receive benefits, eligible survivors must file application with a social security office, and submit birth certificates of children under 18, marriage certificate, and proof of age in cases of widows who are age 65 or over. For the convenience of residents of Rappahannock County, a i^*resentative of the Alexandria t cial security office may be conta< ed in Washington on the four • ^Wednesday of each month at the County Agent’s office.
