Rappahannock News, October 28, 1954

VOLUME 5—NUMBER 52 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 28/1954 - Price $2.00 PER YEAR / rA"VrS?1v tj*i<m OBSERVATIONS PRO and CON Words do not adequately pay tribute to such a person as “Mr. Willie” Compton. Mr. Willie was for many years a source of sunshine and encouragement to the ones at Rappahannock News. He twice daily paid a visit t o the office and his merry hello was always elevating to the printers. We were all proud to call Mr. Willie a friend and fellow-printer. Having worked at his chosen profession for 63 years he came back to his native town to retire. Once asked by a member of the staff _how long it took to learn all of , the phases of printing, he answered “I didn’t have time to learn it all”. He was beloved by all here, even the mascot “Duchess’ would get up out of Mr. Willie’s big arm chair when she saw him coma in. He was always interested in what was going on in the town and especially in the Fire Department— 'being an honorary member, and one of the organizers of the Fire Department. — To his family we would like to express our deepest sympathy.—— cr '' Last Saturday morning while looking at an over-turned truck near Massies Corner, the question came to mind—“what would have happened to anyone traveling on that piece of road at the time this truck came around the corner?” The driver, when asked what happened, replied “I just went to sleep.” JUST WENT TO SLEEP! Is that an excuse for 20 tons of fast rolling death to be permitted on the highways? When a driver is found guilty of driving under the influence of intoxicants, he has his permit revoked—-can yeu see why one driver should be permitted to continue driving, and endangering the lives of careful drivers, and the other one have his permit revoked? I say that the penalty should i>e^"the-same~ifor each offender. One is just as careless as the other. -- (Picture on pageR) o ooo Well, we attended the Deatherage sale Saturday afternoon, attended was all, for we were not in the class with the antique collectors that clamored for ownership of the beautiful offerings at the sale. We did manage to purchase a cup Si coffee from the ladies selling refreshments there, but, as one person remarked -“she would like to get a cup of coffee, but (was afraid someone would start bidding on it and run the price up.” Although we are not antique collectors, we had a wonderful time watching others pay what we thought were scandalous prices for articles-—still, it takes all kinds to make a world—and each man to his liking. U V u w -We have heard of countless contrivings to battle the cost of living, high prices, etc.; but the Ralph Rowzies seem to have hit upon a unique one that may pay dividends. His wife opened an extra .large egg, laid by a hen on their farm, and found inside, another perfectly formed hard shell egg. . . This 2 in 1 idea sounds fine to us—no comments yet recorded as to chicken’s sentiments. We are now wondering what she feeds those hens??? (Lester Yates reports that he has found an egg like the one found by the Rowzies). In commenting on the fine work and cooperation shown in the Chiefs’ organization, we failed to mention 2 who helped the club tremendously: Ollie Fincham, who sweated out the hot summer evenings behind an umpire’s protector, and Bob Estes, who took charge of the proceeds from the games. Both should be recognized OBSERVATIONS, Pag* 12) Bloodmobile Comes To Rappahannock Friday, October 29 Eighteen pints of blood have recently been called from the Blood Bank for a Rappahannock citizen. Add those 18 to the many others that are used in emergencies and in operations throughout the year and you will see why it is vital that every person who is able, come to the Bloodmobile, Friday. ~ The Bloodmobile returns at 12 noon and will be at the Reynolds Memorial Baptist Church in Sperryville, until 6 p.m. When you go to the Blood- . mobile, 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 to a later date or rejected. , . i .. •, • HALLOWEEN PARTY AT FLINT HILL, FRIDAY Tomorrow about this time, ghosts will be donning their sheets, old women, their wigs and devils, their horns—they’ll all be practicing for their role in the Flint • Hill Halloween Party, which will be held in the Flint Hill School tomorrow night (Friday). Prizes will be awarded to the best dressed haunts. Homemade cake, gingerbread, hot dogs, cider and soft drinks will be on sale. A, ham will be given away. All proceeds of the party will go* to the Flint Hill ParentsTeachers Association. Admission at the door will be 10c. _ LADIES PLAN BAZAAR FOR NOVEMBER 6th —- The Ladies Class of the Wash- • ington Baptist Church will sponsor a bazaar for Saturday, November 6 in the Fire House. Surprise packages, homecooked food and handiwork will be on sale. Miss Black Chosen 4-H’er Of The Month Miss Faye Black, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. M. Black of Sperryville, has been selected as the 4-H honoree for the month of October. Miss Black excells in project work, haying completed 11 projects in 6 years. Of these 11, Faye prefers “room improvement,” which was one of her summer projects. Her improvements include: ing pictures, dying curtains and . rug and caring for room. Faye also likes to sew and has demonstrated her skill in four garments. In the cooking line, she specializes in breads. Faye is well liked by her school mates. She is secretary of the 10th .grade and serves as secretary of the Varsity Club of Rappahannock County High School. Stating emphatically that “I like being a 4-H’er,” Faye continues, explaining that her 4-H training and these 11 projects have helped her to -do -much better work. TRINITY AUXILIARY SELLS CHRISTMAS CARDS The Trinity Episcopal Church Auxiliary is selling Christmas Cards, wrappings, string and stationery. Samples for selections may be seen at Mrs. R. V. Snead’s home in Washington. Anyone interested in the above please contact Mrs. Snead or one of the other members of the Auxiliary. ANTIQUE LOVERS HAVE FIELD-DAY AT SALE Antique lovers and other sale enthusiasts flocked to the Deatherage Sale by tens and scores last Saturday afternoon, October 23. The day was perfect with not a cloud scaring the blue of the sky. The crowd milled around inspecting the articles, and trying to keep up with Joe Jdhnson’s constant line of ‘sales talk'. All conditions contributed to the sale, fever that seemed to sweep through the'viewers. . Douglas G. Jonney, of Fredericksburg purchased the real estate for $20,900. DR. SNEAD ATTENDS MEDICAL CONVENTION ;Dr. J. P. Snead will not be in his office on November 1 and 2 (this Monday and Tuesday). He has been selected as a delegate to the joint meeting of the Virginia Medical Society and the District Medical Society to be held in Washington, D. C. mart week. Foster — Willis Mr. and Mrs. Edward Willis of Washington have announced the marriage of their daughter* Ruth, to Earl Foster, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Eddie Foster of Washington. ' ■-■; -... The ceremony was performed on October 3rd in Luray. ,:r.- ,, W. E. Compton A long and useful life came to a close Monday night when William Eugene Compton died at the age of 88 at his home in Washington, following several months of declining health. Funeral services were conducted from the home, Wednesday afternoon at 3:30 with burial in the Masonic Cemetery. The Rev. G.‘M. Profitt, H. G. Thatch and 'John Frizzell officiating. - The son of John A. Compton and Sarah Frances Compton, Mr. Compton was horn on January 12, 1866. One of 8 children, he is survived by a sister, Miss Margaret Compton, who has been his constant companion for many years, and 2 brothers, Floyd Compton of Washington and Earnest Compton of Florida. • Well known and greatly loved in his native Washington, “Mr. Willie” was elected its mayor for 16 years, 1932-1948. During this time the town progressed steadily. Mr. Compton rehdcrcduriusuaU assistance in obtaining a water system for the town, in addition to other services. Though a mayor by election, Mr. Compton was a printer by choice. He watched his profession move from the age of Ben Franklin presses and hand-set type to the day of high-speed automatics and the linotype. Both during and following his school days at The Academy, Mr. Compton served his apprenticeship on the Blue Ridge Echo in Washington, first getting ink on his hands at the age > of 12. As a journeyman, he was located in Cumberland, Maryland, Philadelphia, Trenton, N. J. and New York. In 1886, he set type on the—“Congressional Record” for one term of Congress. He then located in Newark, N. J. where he worked foryariousnewspapers as a printer. After the first linotype Came into use, he was an operator and remained one until his retirement in 1930. Never did Mr. Compton lose interest in the printing field. Until his failing health denied it, he kept abreast of its advancements. He proudly wore a 50-year pin, honoring his 50 years of membership in the typographical union. — A man of many talents and great knowledge, “Mr. Willie” attracted friends from all ages. Many of these gathered at the home Wednesday afternoon to pay him final tribute. Fred Dodson Fred William Dodson, long a Rappahannock farmer and a resident of Flint Hill, died Monday afternoon in Warren Memorial Hospital where he had been a patient for 3 days.

NATIONALLY KNOWN * MEN'S WEAR General Election Next Tuesday Tuesday, November 2, the entire House of Representatives and one-third of our United States Senators will be elected. That makes the occasion an extremely important one, yet little interest is apparently being engendered. This election is of considerable interest in Virginia. One of our two Senators is up for re-election—Mayor A. Willis Robertson former Representative in Congress from our Seventh District and, for the past eight years, a member of the United States Senate. Pursuing the skein of the election further, we find that our own Seventh District Congressman for the past eight years, the Hon. Burr P. Harrison, likewise comes before the voters for re-election. Major Robertson has two opponents—Clarke _T. Robb, a Socialist-Democrat, and Charles William Lewis, Jr., who lists himself as an Independent but who, most assuredly, is blessed by the inner circle of the Republican! party. Certainly he makes no bones about the fact that he woos GOP. support. Mr. Harrison, too, has opposi_tion. John Paul Ruddick, of Highland County, is the nominee of the Republican party. Mr. Ruddick, equipped with an artistically engrossed station wagon and aided by a professional promotor, originated in Canada and came to Highland a few years ago by the way of Washington, D. C. In fact, according to official information provided by the Chief of the Miscellaneous Services Sec| tion of the Office of Internal i Revenue, Mr. John Paul Ruddick. gave 1705 N Street, N.W., Washington, D. C. as his address on his* last two income tax returns (1952 and 1953) ! It is likewise true that Mr. Ruddick was never registered as a, voter in Highland County in our Seventh Virginia District until just a month ago (Sept. 21, 1954). This provides us with the paradoxical situation of a candi-, date offering to represent Virginians in Congress who does not count Virginia as his official income tax residence and who never bothered' to legally qualify as a Virginia voter until some six weeks before the election in which he seeks preferment! We have no quarrel with Mr. Ruddick, or anyone else, as to the address they may use in filing income tax returns. It is strangely peculiar, however, that a man who seeks s#ch an important office as Representative In Congress should be so inadequately informed and so completely indifferent to the legal qualifications of voting and lidding office that he fails to be conversant with such .a basic requirement of the Virginia franchise as registration. It seems inconceivable that voters of the Seventh District, who have benefitted so immensely from the effective efforts of Mr. Harrison in Congress, will now reject him for unknown and untried hands. Mr. Harrison stands shoulderto-shoulder with both Senators Byrd and Robertson in opposition, to an increased national debt and he voted against the foreign aid program of President Eisenhower. His integrity, his experience, his initiative and his loyalty are unim RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS. PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At Washington, Rappahannock County Virginia DIAL WASHINGTON 2851 ~ BRUCE S.

Senator Robertson, whose services for the Seventh Virginia District in the House of Representatives from the day of his election 1932 to 1946, and whose services to the entire state since 1946 as a member of the United States Senate, are indelibly written in the hearts and minds of our citizens. He is, indeed, ideally equipped to continue that service. We would be unmindful of and ungrateful for the services of these two staunch Virginians in Washington, if we fail to give them a rousing vote of confidence on Tuesday, November 2. Dr. Dr ash Answers Questions on R. C. Blood Bank Program “There is no charge for blood which is furnished by the Red Cross blood program, either at the -University of Virginia Hospital or at any other hospital which has a Red Cross blood bank,” Dr. E. Cato Drash, professor of surgery and chairman of the Blood Bank Committee, emphasized today in an interview occasioned by the belief, still current among many people, that patients are charged for blood used in transfusions. Why does such a rumor crop up from time to time? Through misin formation and_misunderstanding, Dr. Drash says. Prior to the institution of the Red Cross Blood - bank program in November, 1951, blood used at the University Hospital was supplied largely through professional blood donors, who received $25 per pint, he explained. “When a patient who needed blood came into the hospital, we had to ask him to have friends and. relatives bring in blood immediately. If he had no friends or relatives who could supply the necessary blood, we had to use blood from our blood bank and charge him what it cost us—that is, $>25 per pint, plus the cost of drawing the blood, cross-matching, and administering it to him. Many people know about the old setup, but do not know the facts regarding the new program, and therefore are confused.” _ CHARGE FOR SERVICES Now, Dr. Drash said, although no charge is made for blood, there is a necessary charge for hospital services in cross-matching and administering blood. * The hospital has to provide skilled technicians, many supplies, and a laboratory in which we draw blood, process it, match it, and store it. Then there is the cost of administering it. The service charge to the patient is based on the actual cost of labor and supplies, and does not include any charge for the blood itself.” Dr. Drasn pointea our uwi blood is available, free of charge, to every patient because others have already contributed it, bur that each pint of blood used must be replaced as soon as possible, so that a continuous supply can be kept_on_hand for life-saving emergencies. Relatives and friends of patients receiving blood are requested to restore the amount used through blood donations whenever possible. Since many patients come to the .University of Virginia Hospital 'from great distances, donors may contribute to their nearest Red Cross Blood Bank or “BloodMobile” and ask that Red Cross chapter to notify the hospital that replacement has been made, thus eliminating a trip which might impose undue hardship on the blood donors. OTHER QUESTIONS Is it true that patients are “charged for blood they don’t receive”? That, Dr. Drash said, is another question sometimes asked. He reiterated that no charge is ever made for blood, but added that a necessary charge is made for hospital services performed. “If I order four pints of blood for a patient undergoing chest surgery, those- four pints are taken out of blood from the patient. They are then set - aside for that patient. Even if the blood is not used, the patient has had the benefit of the time, skill, and services of technicians in cross-matching and assignment of blood, and the patient is billed for those services, whether he has received the blood or not.” PITTS THEATRE Matinee: Tues., Thur., Sat. 3:30 C U L P E P E R Evening: 7:15 and 9:15 ADMISSION: Children 16c Adult* 35c THUR. - FRI., OCT. 28 - 23 DEAN MARTIN JERRY LEWIS “MONEY FROM HOME” (Color by Technicolor) Variety SATURDAY, OCT. 30 ROCK HUDSON STEVE COCHRAN “Back To God's Country*' (Color by Technicolor) _ Snapshot _ .

Ragsdale — Wherever two or more people meet today they will soon be talking about the shortage of water. More than two years of drouth has dryed up most of the surface water and smaller streams and greatly lowered the underground water level. What are we doing about water? A committee named by Governor Battle began work several years ago gathering facts to aid the legislature in writing a law defining water rights and the use ir of water.’ A water law will probably be passed when the facts are all in. A law, however, cannot solve the present or the future water shortage. The full use of all water that falls on the land can come only through the conservation and development of water and land resources of each and every watershed. The development of a watershed means applying to the land every conservation practice that will aid the soil in soaking up the Water as it falls and building structures such as ponds and lakes to catch the run-off during heavy rainfall. Ponds and lakes should not be built without fully protect ing them against siltation. In the country we are greatly expanding ' the use of water. To meet this de-i mand well planned water conservation measures are the only , answer.- . Soil vand water conservation cannot be separated. Correct land lr use, plus every good planning and forestry practice must be brought together to assure a successful conservation and development program. The recent passage by congress of a small watershed bill is intended to help us carry forward just such a planned program. We hope that every county in Virginia will soon be working on at least one project of this kind. 1947 Internal.

i RAPP-CHATS IHIIIMIHIimi'IIIIIIIMMilllHMIlUIIIIMinilllllKIII The cost of wintering the beef cow must be charged to the calf. With feed shortage existing on many of our farms and hay prices rather high compared to calf values here are some tips which may help you reduce winter feeding cost. 1. Feed poorest hay first while cattle have summertime-stored supplies of minerals and’vitamins. Feed the best hay when the calf arrives and milking starts. 2. Always feed a balanced ration. Small amounts of feed will go further and digestion will be improved. 3. If you have a limited amounf of roughage, stretdi it twith grain, by letting one pound of grain equal 4Vz to 5 lbs. of hay. Don’t reduce roughage more than fifty* per cent. 4. If legume content of hay gets below five pounds feed a protein supplement at one to one and a half pounds per cow per day. 5. Twenty pounds ground corn cobs and 3^ pounds protein-molasses supplement may be the cheapest daily cow ration you can I find. -Early in October feed dealers outside the drought area in Virginia were offering corn as fol~~ lows: Louis Groh & Son, Clay Bank, Va.—No. 2 yellow corn at $1.70 per bushel delivered in bags subject to confirmation and bags to be returned or exchanged.

Hazel Does Damage To Forest Lands Hurricane Hazel has already been forgotten by some of us. The damage she did was not consistent throughout the State. Some property owners were hard hit and some weren’t even bothered. -There are many . timberland owners who were saddened by the varying degrees of blow-down which occurred in their woods. To some of these people the possibility of ever having a vyell regulated plan of timber production may seem very remote; consequently, it is easy to give up and follow the advice of those who suggest clearcutting the woodland. There are very few cases where any cutting as drastic as this is necessary. A salvage cut can be made in most damaged woodlands which will —utilize the downed timber before it decays and also improve the remaining stand. Contact Dallas G. Wilfong Jr., for advice on damaged timber. WELL DRILLING L. & S. LUMBER COMPANY Phone 1262 FRONT ROYAL, VA.

This census is the 16th in a series of nationwide farm canvasses since the first farm census in 1840, over 100 years ago. In most States, copies of the census questionaire are being mailed to farm operators in advance of. the enumeration which began early in October and will continue into December. The starting date for the census, has been set for the close of the normal crop harvesting season in each area. Questioned res to be used in different areas have been designed, to cover the crops commonly produced in these areas, while a number of questions common to all farms will be included in each variation of the questionnaire. In seven Southern States where the sharecropper system is followed, the questionaires will be delivered in person by the enumerators to assure the consolidation of reports for multipleunit farms. The mail questionaire used in most of the States is accompanied by a letter from Director Robert W. Burgess of the Bureau of the Census. The Census questionaire is designed to collect information about the number and size of farms, tenure, acreage of land in various uses, crops harvested, livestock inventory and production, expenditures for selected items (labor hire, machine hire, feed, fertilizers and lime, gasoline and other petroleum fuels and oil), inventory of selected facilities and equipment (televisions, food freezer, piped running water, tractor, harvesting machines, automobile, truck, etc.) irrigation, conserva-' tion practices, farm value, mortgage debt, and cash rent. Regional variations of the questionaire will be used so that inquiries about crops, for instance, will be limited in each area to the crops common in that area. On an average, each • farmer will be asked about 100 questions, many of which can be answered “yes” or "no.” \ Social Security Facts Several groups of self-employed individuals are affected by the new social security law. These groups are the farm operators, funeral d i r e ct o r s, accountants, architects, and engineers. The effective date for coverage of these groups is January 1, 1955.

It is most refreshing to find certain individuals who realize that when the job becomes more difficult, the challenge thereby becomes greater and they become more determind than ever before to meet that challenge head on. This, it seems to me, is what happened in your case and it has paid a handsome dividend in the form of a better record being set in tax collecting in Virginia. I do want you to know that l am deeply grateful for this very fine record and your contribution to the fiscal welfare of your county and State. _Sjncerely yours,___ Gordon M.

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY OF THE SEVENTH DISTRICT In a public letter to the Clarke Courier, published at Berryville, the Republican Committee of the 7th District, through Pete Dunning, who signs as Chairman, bitterly abuses Congressman Burr P. Harrison because “HE HAS SHOWN AN INTEREST IN PUT- . TING HIS BEST EFFORT TO BETTER THE APPLE GROWING FEW". Because Burr P. Harrison has fought to help the apple farmer, the Republican Committee Chairman urges election of his candidate, who in March of this year made oath he was a resident of Washington, D.C. and who registered for the first time as a Virginia voter on September 21,1954, two months after he was nominated for Congress. Is it not enough that Republican leaders of the 7th District care nothing and do nothing about the distress of the farmers, without abusing a Congressman for being their friend?\ ^; * Farmers, Burr P. Harrison will stay your friend regardless of how much Republican leaders slur him : • for it.1 VOTE FOR BURR P. HARRISON 0*.;.. - FOR CONGRESS ■-1 4, '
