S. Green both supplied approximately the correct answer to last; week’s question; How many square inches of paper were used in publishing this week’s Rappahannock News? The answer; approximately 1,944,000 square ' inches. For a free subscription to the paper* be the first to call in the answer to this question: “If yoti saw ‘Big Ben’ and ‘Old Lady of Threadneedle Street* dancing the Paul Jones, what spectacle would you be witnessing?” O O'- o In a period of one season, the P '•.ppahannock Chiefs advanced from a basement ball club to a first division club; As they did this they netted for the Sperryville and Washington Volunteer Fire Departments, a welcome sum. This club, something of a county project, owes its success to .the faithfulness of its players and to several persons who followed it through thick and thin. These persons are to be congratulated: Mahlon _Ramey, manager; Carlton Atkins; ticket collector; and Frank Huff and Whitt Hudson, soft drink sellers. The crowd of home rooters are thanked for their support of this project. May next year see more such interested persons. o o o If we had an “Orchids and Onions” column as do many high school papers, we should send a whole bouquet of white orchids t</ the Rappahannock Hunt and tb Hazelmere Hounds for the go*ji organization and managemr/*t which made the Hunter Triab/in Culpeper such a success.

Oct. 29 The Bloodmobile returns at 12 noon on October 29th and will be at the Reynolds Memorial Baptist Church at Sperryville until 6 p.m. Rappahannock has never filled her' quota, and during the last six months, more pints of blood have been returned to persons living in the county than was donated in the last visit. When we subtract from that the amount given to the, Armed Forces and Veterans Hospitals, you see we have really fallen down. The blood is needed for civilian, disaster, sickness and accident, for Veteran’s Hospitals and the Armed Forces. The Armed Forces and Veterans Hospitals have first priority. There is no way to manufacture blood—it must be given by persons who are concerned about suffering. When you go to the Bloodmobile, your blood pressure is taken and other tests are made. If the Red Cross nurses and doctors have the slightest question as to your fitness to donate blood, you are deferred until a later date or rejected. Rappahannock County has been, lucky in that it has been spared the epidemics and disasters which have swept other, parts of our country. When disaster strikes the Red Cross does not ask if you have done your part—it comes without question, with its efficient organization and operates to help. Let everyone ask himself if he has done his part. _•_ Contact the following persons for appointments or come without an appointment: Wakefield: Mary R.

Stanley has designated October 17-23, 1954 as Virginia Natural Resources Conservation Week. This week is designated by Gov. Stanley as a means of causing everyone to become more conscious of the importance of our natural resources—Soil, Water, Forests and . Wildlife. The Farmers _ H o m e Administration feels that it is an excellent opportunity for our farm families to take a personal inventory of the natural resources of their individual farms, M. B. Fields, local FHA County Supervisor, stated. Since Soil and Water is the basis of any farm operation FHA borrowers are encouraged first of all to practice good soil and water conservation as this will be the determining factor in their success or failure. Prospective borrowers are encouraged to request assistance from their local Soil Conservation District for developing complete plans for soil and water conservation for their farms. All farmers must-bear in mind See F.H.A.—Page 12 . •' ' ts ■ v : ft :V'A Hurricane Hazel Takes Heavy Toll In RappTt Orchards , Hurricane Hazel came to Rappahannock County, Friday evening in a torrent or driving rain and high winds. Though the eye of thq hurricane bypassed the county, heq long arm reached with devastating» results into the county’s apple' orchards. -It—is estimated by county growers that 1,000 trees were completely destroyed and 2,000 blown over and injured. A total of 50,000 to 60,000 bushels of apples were blown from the trees. A stretch through F. T. Valleyr and Peola Mills felt the storm at’ its strongest. Countless trees were uprooted, barns destroyed and roofs buckled. J. L. Yowell lost a horse, when it fell into a hole left by an uprooted tree. The F. T. orchards suffered great losses both in trees uprooted and trees injured by the wind. outside or jf lint mil, jtlazel uprooted huge trees in Jake Keysets yard, and moving across the} road, laid waste to his orchard,' and sped on to the orchards owned by Mrs. C. R. Rust. ,She estimates* a loss of between 600 and 700 trees. In Washington, a grower lost 200 trees with 2,450 bushels of apples blown off and in Sperry* ville, another counted his loss as 150 bearing and 50 young with 2500 to 3000 crates of apples blown from the trees. Though damaging, these losses, representative of their localities, do not compare with the F. T. orchards and Rust orchard estimates. The county schools closed at 11 o’clock on Friday in order that the pupils and bus drivers couldi reach their homes before the hurricane’s arrival. The day was cloudy with an almost steady drizzle, interrupted by occasional downppurs. At times the sky would brighten to the point of clearing off, but then would switch to a somber cast. Directly in the communities of Washington, Flint Hill, Sperryville, and Amissville, “Hazel” blew down fences, knocked off limbs, uprooted several trees and broke numerous television antennas. The electricity was off in sections of these towns. The one good thing that “Hazel” willed to Rappahannock was the rain.,In Washington 4.59 inches of rain fell between 4 a.m* Friday and 7 o’clock Friday even* ing. This rain came at a time when the d rough was fast approaching alarming proportions. Wilbur Houghton Wilbur Hayes Houghton, 79, died at his home in Markham*' Monday, from burns received when his clothing caught on fire: while burning off a field at his ' home. Mr. Hdughton, a well known farmer, was bom in Rappahannock County, March 11, 1875, a son of Thomas H. and Martha Williams Houghton.

RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNIN<G At Washington, Rappahannock County Virginia DIAL WASHINGTON 2851 , “BRUCE S.-BOWIEt:-. .JPjtblisJier Entered as second-class mail matter at the post office at Washington, Virginia SUBSCRIPTION: (in advance)----$2.00 a year The Trouble With ... The trouble with blood is that, when it’s needed, it is always -■'■peeded immediately and often in n large quantities. The trouble with disaster,- a sickness or accidents, is that they strike anywhere, anytime, and without warning. If our town or our neighbors were so stricken, most of us wouldn’t hesitate a moment in offering our blood for relief of sickness or injury. But the trouble with us is that, until sickness, accidents or disaster strikes, we don’t feel too urgently the need for giving blood. We do not realize that the blood we Would receive in emergencies Wouldn't all be blood donated on. the spot—though some of it might be—but blood donated earlier, many miles away, by people like us, in towns like ours, who did - recognize the need for reserve supplies of blood. Chances are that these people donated their blood—a pint per. person, which they really didn’t miss—during the visit of the Red Cross Bloodmobile, to their communities. In many cases, that Bloodmobile visit is the only, chance they have to give blood. The Bloodmobile will be in Sperryville on Friday, October 29, with its headquarters in the Reynolds Memorial Baptist Church. You cam make an appointment by contacting the county chairman, Mrs. t). D. Miller. Don’t wait until another Hurricane Hazel roars through the country, carving a bloody path of disaster ; don’t wait any longer— for every 20 seconds there is a hospital patient in the United States, receiving a blood transfusion supplied by fellow Americans^ through this Red Cross service. He is depending on you “not waiting.” The Bloodmobile will be there. The trained doctors and nurses will be there. And the need will be there. See that you are there. ■M»immmmntiinntMiMimmmimnmiiimmiinimMi I RAPP-CHATS j : \ By: W. H. Lyne __ I County Ajrent § While Hurricane Hazel created much damage, not to mention the loss of human lives, she brought rain—much needed rain. What a boost it is to see streams flowing whose beds have been dry for many months. Your heart and mind both get a boost when you see small grain sprouting through moist soil rather than the young seedlings peaking through dust or just a seedbed so bonedry that nothing has sprouted. With pastures and many hayfields literally grazed into the ground run off was heavy. It is doubtful if over one fourth of the 4.59 inches of water that fell really soaked in; soaked in to the extent our below surface water table \vas helped to the extent it might have been. And on the heels of the drought broken by Hazel comes “Conservation Week.” A week set aside to get us people more soil and water saving conscious. Rough calculations indicate this rainfall amounted to around 145,000 gallons of water per acre. Could we have done a better job towards reducing the run-off? True, neither Contour cultivation, farm ponds, nor trees growing on our steeper slopes could have stopped run off completely when that much water falls on a baked and practically bare surface in so short a time, however, every observing person realizes that where such farming practices were on the land they did reduce the run-off, they did hold more water, not as much soil was lost from our cultivated fields, less damage was done to our secondary road system. The cost through such losses SPAfill SPfand >> Few thoughts ever recorded are more inspiring than the familiar scriptural truth "Seest thou a man diligent in his business and he shall stand before kings.” It applies to a business no less 'than to a man.

Stanley Urges Conservation Of Natural Resources The economic strength of the Commonwealth can be measured by the condition of its soils, waters, forests and wildlife resources. Over the years these resources have contributed materially to the development of the industry, business and agriculture of the State. Because of the great dependence of all Virginians upon the natural resources of the State and the importance of conserving them—the week of October 17th through 23rd, 1954, has been designated as Virginia Natural Resources Conservation Week. — Much progress has been made in protecting and conserving Virginia’s natural resources. Notable among our efforts in combating soil erosion and promoting a program of wise use of our farm, lands and forests has been the formation of 28 Spil Conservation Districts, embracing ninety-seven of the ninety-eight agricultural counties of the State. This organized action on the part of Vi rginia landowners clearly indicate their intention to work together in the all important job of protecting the soil, water, forests and wildlife of the Commonwealth. As a result, complete soil and water conservation plans have been developed on more than one-fourth of the farms of the State. These plans are based on the proper use of each .acre of land the application of the required conservation practices to maintain and improve the farmlands and forests of the State. Many thousands of land-owners who do not have complete soil and water conservation plans on their farms haye applied one or more conservation measures.

Fields advised that funds for, soil and water conservation practices applicable to the particular farm are provided the farm families through regular operating loans along with other assistance such , as purchase of livestock, equipment, fencing, farm -building repairs, etc. He also stated that the FHA lending program is being greatly expanded by the passage of a bill recently by Congres authorizing Soil and Water Conservation loans to farmers in all states. The basic objectives of Soil and : Water Conservation ‘ loans git to encourage and facilitate the improvement, protection, and proper use of farm land by providing adequate financing for soil conservation; water development, conservation, and use; forestation, drainage of farm land; the establishment and improvement of permanent pasture, and other related measures. The achievement of these objectives should assist farmers in making needed land use adjustments in bringing about desirable uses of their farm land and in meeting the impact of adverse weather conditions on their farm* ing operations. “This Is Soil Conservation Week . . .
