VOLUME 5—NUMBER 50 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 14, 1054 1 Price $2.00 PER YEAS * . \ \ The first person to correctly answer the following question will receive a year’s subscription to this paper: “How many square ^ inches of paper were used in publishing this week’s Rappahannock News? Mrs. Lawrence Buckley correctly answered last week's question : What is the "Blue Shirt Field?” In contrast to the white collar workers, the laboring class, or those persons who make their living with their hands are referred to as belonging to the blue shirt field. o o o o When going through our new 1954 telephone directory we discovered a new name in the listlng, and not knowing any family of that name in the community we decided to call the number and see if we could get some news to help fill the space around the ads. Not getting any reply we tried other sources aiM the oijly - information we got ‘concerning a person of the same~iiame as-the new telephone subscriber was: „ INFORMATION FROM THE 3T FILES OF THE COMMITTEE ON UN-AMERICAN ACTIVITIES U. S.- House of Representatives SUBJECT: Helen Fuller The following information from the public records, files and publications of this Committee should not be construed as representing results of an investigation by or findings of this Committee; it should be noted that the subject individual is not necessarily a Communist, a Communist sympathizer, or a fellow-traveler, unless otherwise indicated. Helen .Fuller was a member of the Board of Representatives of the Southern Conference for Human Welfare, 1947-1948. (The Southern Patriot for December 1946, page 8; and the report of this Committee on the Southern Conference . . . dated June 12, 1947, page 1). She was a speaker for the Southern Conference at a meeting held in Birmingham, Alabama, November 20-23, 1938, as shown in an official report of the organization. She was a consultant on the panel, Youth and Training: Civilian and Military, ' at the Third Meeting of the Southern Conference held in Nashville, Tenn., April 19-21, 1942, as shown in an official report of the organization in which source she was identified with the Washington Bureau, New Republic. In the report of March 29, 1944, * the Special Committee on UnAmerican Activities cited the Souj, thern Conference for Human Welfare as a Communist-front organi" zation (page 147); the Southern Conference was the subject of a special report released by the Committee on Un-American Ac- tivities June 12, 1947, in which it was stated that the organization “seeks to attract southern liberals on the basis of its seeming interest in the problems of the South” although its “professed interest in southern welfare is simply an expedient for larger aims serving the Soviet Union and {Continved ea page 8) ;*v 1935 A.S. Show How “Pa” Played i “The Old Gray Mare, She Ain’t What She Used To Be” was drowned out Sunday evening by the crack of a well hit ball, and the thump-thumping of feet crossing home plate, as the 1935 All Stars won a 4-3 count over the 1954 All Stars in a benefit performance. In the second game of a doubleheader which netted the Volunteer Fire Department around $116, the “ *35-54 All Stars” completely Stole the show from the Hume All Star-Rappahannock All Star game. The latter dragged through 9 innings with a final score,'4 12-1, chalked up in favor of Hume. After five innings, the second game was called because of* darkness. Ned Settle pitching for the 1935 All Stars held the youngsters to a minimum of hits. Herbert Foster and Mahlon Ramey were among the ‘35’ers that connected for long safe hits. _Included on the 1935 All-Star team were: Herbert Foster, catcher; Ned Settle, pitcher “B” Miller, first base; Buddy Moore, second base; James Settle, third base; Bob Cook, short stop; Mahlon Ramey, right field; John R. Moore, center field; and Jack Bruce, left field. For the 1954 All Stars the fbl-Jowing players took the field: -Buck £later, catcher ; McGarthy,' pitcher, relieved by* G. W. Smith,Jr.; Charles Corder, first base; Charles Foster, second base; Strother Brown, short stop; Lil* _lard, third base; Russell, center field; Atkins, right field; and Smith, left field.

A youth on a bicycle is riding through the streets of Sperryville. In rounding the sharp corner and passing a parked vehicle, the car does not see him approaching—At the hospital “A transfusion could save his life." A car moves slowly toward the caution light in Washington. Seeing no car approaching, it speeds up to cross the intersection. Suddenly a convertible darts into the scene and cannot stop—As the doctor treats the victims in th$ hospital he says: “They must have blood of this type. Do we have it?" ' , A youhg man from Flint Hill undergoes an operation. An old lady from Amissville, weakened by long illness, is dying—“He must have a transfusion." “She needs blood." This is why it is urgent that you come to the Rappahannock Blood Bank at the Reynolds Memorial Baptist Church, Friday, October 29 and give of your blood. Rappahannock County has never met its quota in the Blood Bank. Yet each year, citizens draw from this Bank. This year they have drawn much more than was given through the Blood Bank.

RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS* M PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At Washington, Rappahannock County Virginia DIAL WASHINGTON 2851 BRHGE-Sr-BQWIE- Puh!i,h,r \ Entered as second-class mail matter at the post office at Washington, Virginia SUBSCRIPTION: 'in advance) $2.00 a year LOOKING AHEAD By Dr. George S. Benson Director, National Education Program It “Coexistence” Possiblef The Congressional Committee on Communist Aggression, composed of five Republicans and four Democrats, returned recently from Europe where a series of hearings in London, Munich and Berlin led to the labeling of Communism for. what it is. Among the 112 witnesses heard were exiled King Michael of Rumania, Col. Grigori Stephanovic Burlitski, former - top official in the Russian MVD, high ranking former officials of the governments of Estonia^ Czechoslovakia, Ukrania, Poland and scores of citizen leaders who had lived under Communism in a half dozen Iron Curtain countries, before escaping to the West. On the basis of the testimony given, together with its previous investigations over a considerable period the Congressional Committee has just published a series of clear-headed conclusions and has addressed an urgent recommendation to President Eisenhower (House Report No. 2650). Highlights of the findings are: 1. “Life under communism is one of ruthless and absolute tyranny. The State is good. The dignity and inherent rights of man have no place under communism.,, 2. “Communism is a conspiracy which utilizes * an extensive and complex international criminal mechanism. It seeks to destroy all free nations and to replace them with a system of Red colonialism.” 3. “The leaders of the inter~ national Communist . conspiracy regard the United States as the main roadblock to their plan for world conquest.” 4. “Communism is able to maintain control over the people it enslaves only by the exercise of the most brutal and inhuman methods known to mankind, such as wholeI sale arrests and deportations, forced famines, mass killings, and the crime genocide against entire nations." • To the President ° “Because .of the foregoing findings, based on testimony sworn to before the committee, we conclude," the Committee said, “that peaceful coexistence is a Communist myth which can be attained only through the complete surrender of our free way of life for -one of slavery under Moscow controlled communism." The following recommendations were ad-* dressed to Congress and the President: _“That the President of the United States take the initiative in convening an international con-' ference of all free no-Communist nations for the following purposes: _“(a) To express formal recognition of the fact that the Communist governments, which now control over 800 million human beings, are not representative of the will of the people. “(b) To seek agreement whereby the free non-Communist nations acting in concert will withdraw diplomatic recognition from all Moscow-controlled Communist governments. “(c) To reaffairm the friendship and solidarity of the people of the free world with the people and nations enslaved by communism. “(d) To develop a program for the rapid and complete termination of all commercial treaties and trade with Communist governments and the initiation of a program of trade among all nonCommunist nations which will strengthen the security of the freeworld. “(e) To develop an overall, dynamic program for the defeat of the international Communist conspiracy _J* “That peaceful coexistence be clearly identified as a Communist SPe/£-tj{{edtca/i(>n <ifb Q)anpebcn4 The human body is the most complicated mechanism ever created. Not all of its processes are thoroughly under* stood even by those who devote their lives to a study of them. It is not surprising, therefore, that persons without medical training who attempt to diagnose and prescribe for their own serious ills often do themselves irreparable damage. Have respect for your body. You can never get another. When illness comes, consult a physician. He is a specialist in his line, just as we are in the business of • ~> - filling his prescriptions. LEWIS PHARMACY Dial 8322 CULPEPER jmyth. It should be rejected on the grounds that it is impossible for a civilization based on a belief in Almighty God, to coexist with an _ aggressive criminal conspiracy dedicated to the destruction of . civilization and to the enslavement of all mankind.” ~~£rhc~"Committcc issuing these powerful recommendations is made up of calm, deliberative Congressmen of both parties. Their findings and recommendations deserve serious" consideration. NATIONAL BIBLE WEEK The Laymen’s National Committee announces that the 14th annual' observance of National Bible Week will be held from October 18 through 24th. Its purpose is to encourage everyone to read the Bible—and thus to help find the spiritual strength and courage which is so necessary to our very survival in today’s chaotic world. Abraham Lincoln once said that the Bible is “the best gift God has’ giyen to man.” Its presents are timeless and as enduring as the world itself. Read the Bible during the Week. •’ _ DO YOU KNOW? 1.

Sponge lightly and press on wront side. Press dry. Use a hot iron. Linen can take the highest temperature on dial. RAYON. Press on wrong side with low temperature. If moisture is needed, cover garment with dry press cloth and sponge lightly, or lay damp lighter muslin on dry press cloth.

Use medium - or perature than on rapon. WOQL. Press on wrong side when possible, as in skirts, dresses, k or blouses. Lay wool press doth on board next to right side of wool ^garment. Press with a damp heavy doth and leave steam rising wherT cloth, is removed. Never press wool dry. On jackets, coats, or trousers, press on the right side. Place the wool press cloth on the right side of garment, and place the damp, heavy press' doth over it.

TOO YOUNG TO DIE ! Jk- «£_ epidemic strikes and takes its sudden and deadly count of the young, it tears at our heartstrings for there is so little we can do about it. Such tragedies may occur once in a year or two. But the highway toll of young innocents produces a casualty list every day, year after year. There is much we can do about it, for we are responsible. ' Jn one year 4,300 young lives are snuffed out, over 200,000 injured andv maimed for life. Three out of every four of these lives sacrificed to carelessness are from 5 to 14 years of age. Too young to die! School safety patrols are holding down the casualties of children going to or coming from school. Two out of three are killed while outside of school supervision. That’s the big reason why it’s up to you, Mr. and Mrs. Driver, to protect little children. Be alert for the unpredictable actions of youngsters at play, crossing streets, chasing balls and riding bikes. _ Little ones are thoughtless of danger; perhaps, too, they trust grown folks to guard them. Don’t be the one to carry on your conscience the life of a child. Slow down, be alert where children may be at your mercy. S L O W D OWN-l IV E S ARE IN YOU R HANDS!

"Is Your Soil Fully Productive?” A good liming program is the foundation of a sound fertility program. Without it soil fertility and soil management practices will be inefficient in producing crops. Increase crops and profits by proper use of lime. Use Riverton Lime and Stone Company agricultural ground limestone in your soil program. It contains the necessary amounts of calcium and magnesium to make the soil fully productive. Fertilizers and manure do not replace lime, they need lime to produce soil fertility. Insist on Riverton agricultural ground.dimestone at all times to increase your crops and your profits. Phone Front Royal 1600 or write to Riverton Lime and Stone Company, Riverton, Virginia, for aid in your soil management plan, and nearest spreader. Accept no substitute.

OLYMPIC DAY SATURDAY, 16 October T6~ has been declared Olympic Day by Presidential Proclamation. ' Anyone caring to make contribution to the U. S. Equestrian Team, please contact Mrs. John R. DeBergh, Washington. . * YOUTHS NOW ENJOY HEALTHIER SCHOOL LIFE Chances of today’s school age children in Virginia—-5 through 19—dying of disease have been cut by 68.9 per cent in the past 15 years, a State Health Department statistical summary shows. Thus, excluding accidents, the school age set has more than three times as much chance of living to collect high school diplomas than had the class of ’38. State Health Commissioner Mack I. Shanholtz attributes healthier school life in 1954 to improved environment at home and school, immunization and vaccination programs, improved drug therapy, and education of the lay public on the importance of Parents of Virginia’s 893,603 children of school age can breathe easier knowing that in 1953 only 1 death from diphtheria occurred in comparsion with 38 deaths in 1938. Thirty deaths from influenza and pneumonia ' occurred in this age group in 1953, com pared with 156 in 1938. Three deaths from scarlet fever in 1938 were cut, to a flat zero in 1953. —Fifteen years ago, the summary shows, school child deaths from all causes reached 1,333, compared with 664 deaths last year. And, enrollment in 1938. “Typhoid fever is an excellent example of what can be accomplished by simply cleaning up fly breeding areas, improving sewage and garbage disposal, and by improving water and milk supplies,” Dr. Shanholtz said. Typhoid caused the death of 21 school children in 1938. This disease did not claim a single life last year. The figures concerning accidental deaths aren’t as bright as these on disease-producing fatalities. Accidents accounted for only 21.8 per cent of all school age deaths in 1938, compared with 44.6 per cent in 1953. Accident prevention programs probably represent the most urgent field for student health education, Dr. Shanholtz believes. STUDY IS CONDUCTED •AMONG H. D.

The questionaires from all the counties in the state will be summarized in this state-wide study. You may be interested to know that every club member in the county will not be asked to fill in a questionaire. Instead all names of home demonstration members are listed alphabetically. Then certain members are chosen at random. p It takes only 10-15 minutes to fill in a questionaire. All members whose names were drawn in this study are urged to return the questionaire to the Home Demonstration Agent as soon as possible. FACTS ON SOCIAL SECURITY Farm families are directly affected by two of the recent changes in the social security law. One concerns the farm operator and the other concerns the farm worker. The farm operator who makes a profit of at least $400 in a year will be covered by the social security law beginning January 1, 1955. The new law gives the farm operator the same protection that self-employed individuals have had ~ since 1951. In other words, the farm operator and his family will be entitled to retirement benefits when he retires after reaching age 65, or his survivors will be entitled to benefits upon his death at any age. The farm operator who has a net income of at least $400 in a year will file his social security report at the end of the year when he files his income tax return. This will be done even though the farm operator is not required to pay an income tax. There are two methods by which a farm operator who has a gross income of $1800 or less may figure his net income. He may figure his actual net income by deducting his business expenses from his gross income, or he may assume that 50 percent of his gross income is net income. If by using either method his net income is less than $400, he is not under social security for that particular year. The farm operator will file his first social security tax return early in 1956 for the year 1955. His tax will be 3 percent of his net income up to $4200. i nere is a significant cnange in the law as it affects the farm worker. Prior to 1955, only the regular farm workers were under social security. Beginning Janu-, ary 1, 1955, all farm workers who are paid at least $100 in a year by a farm operator are covered under social security. Two percent of total wages up to $4200 in a year will be withheld by the farm operator from wages paid such ;farm workers. The farm operator will add a like amount as his share of the tax, and will file the necessary reports with the Internal Revenue Service. This new law provides most farm workers and their families the same protection under, social security that other workers have had for several years. It should be remembered that both these changes are compulsory. It is, therefore, important that farm operators maintain adequate records for use in filling the necessary tax returns. If a farm operator or a farm worker has never had a social security card or has lost his card, he should get an application from the local post office or from any social security . office. The completed application should be mailed to your social security office.
