Rappahannock News, December 2, 1954

******* wcxxxxx No one supplied the correct answer to last week’s question. The term: “Live Free or Die” should be most familiar to the --people of New Hampshire as it is their state motto. For this week’s question we go to the world of literature: What famous writer popularized these lines: “You are Old Father William.” ? Be the first to correctly answer the question and you will receive a free subscription for one year to the Rappahannock News. - ' *\ —V .0000 / , % The Ladies’ Auxiliary to the V Washington Fire Company is V gradually, but surely, passing on— fls membership that attends meetings numbers in the vicinity of 5, Jbften less. A series of arguments . and misunderstandings thru the years have aided it to this end. However, there are many persons who are willing to help when the Auxiliary pounds doors. They are interested and would like to help. The auxiliary could not have existed these years without such persons. They appreciate them. And yet, to transact any business and plan activities there must be more than a handful who will attend meetings to discuss same, to organize the plans; and to see that they are carried through. The Auxiliary is a good organization—too good to die. It is open to every lady in the vicinity pf Washington. There are no bars. Each individual member has the right to voice their ,opinion. " Friday night will see no hand raising as to who is and to who is not going to come to the meetings. There is to be no high pressure salesman, to intice you to join. This is simply a meeting for the women of the town to talk informally about the situation. If you are interested, you will come. .

WEIGHT RECORD SET; THO DEER KILL LOW „ Although no deer were checked in during this week of hunting season, and the total stands at a low of 3, Rappahannock can claim a record-over the 1953 hunting season. Last season, Allison Atkins of Sperryville killed an 8 point, 170 pound buck, the largest of 8 felled during the open season in Rappahannock. ' A 218 pound, 8 point deer was checked in at Payne’s Garage last week by Mrs. Clark Jones. Her deer is reported by several old timers to be the largest they have ever seen. Away To The Hunt In days past, the journalistic emphasis in the Hunt field was on the hunt itself and not on the hunt breakfast. The hunt was described in detail by a member of the hunt or by an interested observer. It read like an exciting narrative, with a less brilliant light cast on the social event—the hunt breakfast. Mrs. Frank Moffett has described many a hunt, picturing with skill the hunter’s sentiments outlined i n his native jargon: Given below is one of her best accounts of the hunt as published in The Chase.” It would be interesting to read of the local hunts in such a way. Following an old custom, Rappahannock foxhunters celebrated George Washington’s birthday with a joint meet, Hunt Club hounds and hounds owned by John F. Kinsey and Billy Moffett making up the pack. The merits of the individual, hounds “bringing on quite a lot of talk” before, and after the hunt. This was followed by the traditional “breakfast” at Mt. Prospect, the home of W. A. Miller, Master of the Rappahannock Hounds, and Mrs. Miller, to which the countryside and a number of additional guests were invited. Aside from the usual reasons, and the fact that “The Father of His Country” was a great foxhunter himself, lovers of the chase in Rappahannock” County have especial reasons for celebrating February 22. For wasn’t their county seat “The First Washington of All,” surveyed and platted by George, Washington with the assistance of John Lonem and Edward Corder, chainmen, on August 3, 1749” and named by the town fathers for the young surveyor? The Town Marker testifies to the fact, and so real—and infinitely dear are these traditions connecting George Washington * with Rappahannock County that it takes little imagination for its foxhunters—especially the old timers—out for a genuine George Washington Birthday Celebration, to hear “Old Vulcan” leading the ' pack in “full cry”—and to see The General, himself, “riding hard oh Blueskin.” . The field was a little later than usual moving off, as the time for the meet had been changed to suit See HUNT — Page 4 Sunday Ban To Go On Sale Of Wine _A 3-3 tie on the question' of banning the sale of wine in the county on Sunday was broken Wednesday morning at the December meeting of the Board of Supervisors when ' James W. Fletcher voiced his approval of the Sunday ban, -----,. The “wine ban” motion was made by Supervisor W. C. Camp^ bell in last month’s meeting, when a previous proposal to ban the sale of beer and wine on Sunday was rejected. Supervisor Henry Wood seconded this motion and the vote stood Estes, Latham and Buckner opposing the ban and Cook, Wood and Campbell supporting the . amendment to the initial motion. (Attorney Fletcher is the board’s official tie-breaker, and thus was called in for this meeting.) The Sunday ban on the sale of wine will not go into effect until the licenses of the present dealers have expired. County To Re-Appeal For Drought Relief W. H. Lyne and Milton Gore discussed the drought situation, reminding the Board that though Rappahannock County had been turned down by the Drought Relief Board, as had the state of Virginia that several nearby counties and the state had been approved on second consideration. Furthermore they voiced the opinion that if the facts were put before the board they would feel Rappahannock in need of the relief funds. They cited figures gleaned from 30 farmers throughout the county_ showing clearly that Rappahan- _ nock had been hit hard by the _ drought. It was estimated by them with the aid of these figures, that_, the corn crop was only 45% of, normal, as was also the hay crop. (The corn crop estimate was made before shucking.) It was felt by many of the Board members that these figures were too high—the county had been hit even harder than they reflected. Not only is the situation serious because of the neglihle amount of , rainfall, but also because of the lack of reserve in the soil, caused by the small rainfall last season. The drought results were shown also in a home report made by y Mrs. Elizabeth Fuss Powers stat-< ing that the amount of food canned in 1953 and 1954 was only 1/3 as much as was canned in 1952. There was also an impressive difference in the amount of food frozen. Too, if Rappahannock—waseligible in 1953 it should be that much more eligible this year, being in the second serious year of drought, with little reserve. Supervisors Wood and Buckner, seconded by comments from other supervisors voiced their disapproval at the rules and regula- - tions governing who does and who does not qualify for the relief. It was'agreed, however, to look into the situation and to send representatives from the county to the Relief Board meeting to be held in Richmond on Friday. Supervisor Latham in the beginning of the discussion expressed his willingness to support the program and to work for Rappahannock’s acceptance as a drought stricken county. A committee of W. H. Lyne and Supervisor Latham were appointed to attend the meeting in Richmond and present jhe county’s condition. \ * 'w/r . ir'- 4VXI. SM • ' • • vjurc stated tnat a meeting Supervisor* — Pag* 4

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) $2.00 a year Lesson In Safety A commercial airline pilot is re—ported to have told his passengers cently as their plane was landing: “You are about to experience the most dangerous part of your journey—the drive from the airport to your homes.” . Unfortunately, the pilot was so right. The fatality rate per hundred million miles flown by scheduled domestic airlines last year was 0.7 as contrasted to 7.1 deaths for every hundred million miles of motor travel. Why? In spite of clearly marked lanes channeling traffic over mile after mile of smooth pavement—in spite of traffic signals and warning signs at every potential danger point—why .is driving on the ground still ten times more perilous than flying thousands of feet above the earth? To get the answer to this riddle, we must look to the human element—to theman at the controls—whether it be the fourengine airliner of the six-cylinder motor car. He Writes your safety record—good or bad. Airline pilots are trained specialists-—experts at their job of carrying people safely from one place to another. They have a healthy respect for both man-made and natural laws, because they realize their own survival depends on strict observance of those laws. If you’re the average motorist, you can’t expect to equal the skill of a professional airline pilot. But you can work toward smooth driving, perfect timing, constant control, good judgment and respect for traffic laws. Above all, it’s necessary to remember that you’re at the controls of a land vehicle, not a plane. The —giant air transport of today can zoom safely through the air at fantastic speeds, but you had better slow down if you want to live. —Virginia P.I.C.

Cannon, B and S, 25.48 Acres in Stonewall District. Facts On Social Security Some individuals in the Washington area may be losing social security benefits because they are unaware of a special provision contained in the new social security law, according to Miss Henrietta Mode, the social security representative for this area. Miss Mode said that the 1954 amendments reduced the time required for an insured status in tht case of an individual who died after^ June 1940 and before Sep tember 19$0. She added that the individual must have had approximately 18 months of work under social security or that much tim$ in the military service. She urged all dependent survivors of persons who died during this period and had not worked long enough under social security to be insured at the time of death to inquire about* their benefit rights under the new law. Miss Mode pointed out that only monthly benefits are payable and that ^eligibility may be established beginning with the month of September.

Be Careful And Live To Hunt Another Day Last year in Virginia 8 hunters lost their lives jn hunting accidents. These tragic accidents point out the necessity of practicing safe hunting habits, according to Dr. Mack I. Shanholtz, State Health Commissioner. Many of these accidents resulted from the careless handling of guns, the Commissioner .said. “While; yoil are resting, before you start walking, or before you put ■ the gun in’ the car, always break and unload it. Before crossingover or going through a fence, unload your gun and place it on the other side_of the fence. Never hand a companion a loaded gun,” he cautioned. Dr. Shanholta noted that in adprecautions should be taken to protect the health of the hunter while on hunting excursions. “Men who are not accustomed to tramping in the woods should be careful not to overexert themselves. Stop and rest for a few minutes every hour or so. If you wear heavy boots or shoes, loosen them when you eat or rest because heavy leather and tight lacing restrict the circulation,” he added. “Strong, warm, and light cloth* - ing is best to wear for hunting. Be sure to wear a bright colored cap or shirt, preferably red, so that other hunters can see you easily in the woods. Health Department Cautions Housewife On Food Handling With all the ‘never dones’ that confront the harried housewife during the holiday season, it seems unfair to add another furrow to her brow. However, it should be remembered in the bustle of planning and preparing meals that there can easily be a break in the principles of food handling—clean hands, thorough cooking, proper refrigeration.

However, there would doubtless be cases when patients would be taken in from this county, and then being themselves unable to pay their bills, would necessitate the case being referred to the_ county Welfare Department. Then after investigation the Board would decide whether or not the patient actually could defray his own expenses. In many cases of this kind, the Welfare would out of its alloted fund pay the bill. However, in such cases as they would not be able to pay the bills, although they declare the individual unable to pay them himself, would the Board hearing the Welfare’s report, assume the debt. This would be merely a gentlemen’s agreement, that would not burden unnecessarily the Board of Supervisors, and yet it would not leave the hospital itself with the expenses. The Board unanimously entered into the agreement. $900 More For Foster Homes Welfare Superintendent Mrs. Elizabeth Buntin asked the Board for a $900 allotment that would be needed in excess of her previously approved budget. This money is needed in the foster care department of her office. In the department’s budget, Mrs. Buntin had allotted for a certain number of foster care cases as based on the need in preceding years. Due to 11 new cases, in addition to the previously alloted ones, the additional sum is needed. The figure $900 is based on the actual expense that will be charged during December and the following 5 month period. Upon hearing Mrs. Buntin, the Supervisors agreed to pay this additional, spread over the period, as long as possible. Board Discusses Smaller Matters Sheep claims were entered by William Payne, Brue Settle and A. H. Buckner. Payment of the claims was agreed. Mr. Campbell entered the petition containing the signatures of 6 families that have asked that a road in his district off 211 near Gibson “Wharton’s be included oh the State System. The supervisors unanimously agreed that the section was acceptable to them. Mr. Campbell also discussed with Mr. Coldiron, Resident Engineer, a matter brought up by a citizen of his district: that individuals were driving too fast on the Gid Brown Hollow road, although they were not exceeding the speed limit. Mr. Campbell inquired into the possibility of changing the speed limit. This matter will be looked into by rr77mTrrrrTrrrrrrrrrr 'Mr. Coldiron. Various bills payable out of general fund were considered and payment approved. mmmnm , ■---. ■■ i ■ ■ —. J . HUNT—from Page 1 the convenience of members of the Potomac Hunt, who were guests. High wind all Friday night and until 5 a.m. Saturday morning eliminated the chances of picking up an old trail, and the hounds— cast on the south end of the C. J. Miller farm near the river, hunted well the “Peyton Place”; “Jessamine Hill” and the “Tom Kinsey Place” before striking the trail of a “red” on the south end of Long Mountain. From here the chase led north, the fox keeping to the crest of the mountain. Breaking cover at the north end of “Long” the red turned east and crossed the large body of rolling farm land that lies between Long and Round Mountain. Crossing this area, the field and the many hounds—pink coats adding color—presented a perfect piece of hunting pageantry. Reaching “Round” the fox circled the mountain, turned east, crossed the farm of R. C. Brooks and went to Chapipalier—taking the west side of the mountain. From there the chase led to Aron’s Mountain—from there back to Long, where the red was run to earth within 150 yards of the place where he was jumped.

The construction of farm ponds is now a qualifying practice under the 1954 and 1955 Agriculture Conservative and Stabilization program. For these reasons I felt some of the readers of this column would be interested in two articles coming to my office pertaining water. The first: “Policy For Locating Farm Ponds on State Highway Right of Way.” In accordance with the attached specifications, the Virginia Department of Highways will grant property owners permits for the establishment of farm ponds against highway fills when in conformity with the followings policy 1. The Soil Conservation District Board of Supervisors will advise the Highway District Engineer in writing of their official agent to act for them concerning the establishment of farm ponds on State right of way located with in their jurisdiction. The District Engineer will notify this agent of Make His A Leather Christmas 'a , STAR Shoe Repair Shop FRONT ROYAL Scene of a recent accident at Turn Bridge, just before you begin to climb the Luray Mountain in earnest. The setting was a foggy, rainy day. Only one person was in the car, a lady, name unknown, with home address, Winchester. She was taken to Warren Memorial with a possible fractured leg and other less serious injuries. construction projects within the area when he receives plans for Field Inspection. The agent will then in turn notify all landowners along the project who may be interested in establishing farm ponds. 2. The agent will report to the Resident Engineer the names of all property owners interested in ponds. The Resident Engineer will notify the agent regarding each case, whether a permit will be required or the necessary arrangements should be made in right of way negotiations. 3. The petitioner, with the assistance of the Soil Conservation Service, will determine the feasibility of the proposed pond and furnish the Highway Department details of the pond, namely—area of watershed, area of proposed pond surface, elevation of water surface desired, purpose of the pond and any other pertinent technical data. After the above details are furnished, the Highway Department will determine the feasibility of allowing the farm pond to be impounded against the highway fill or on the right of way. 4. The Resident or District Engineer wrill notify the Soil Conservation District Board of Supervisors, or their agent, who will advise the applicant of approval or disapproval. 5. Upon approval, the Department of Highways will design the required embankment and structures and furnish a cost estimate. 6. The Resident or District Engineer will then notify the applicant of the estimated cost to him, of his responsibility regarding the landscaping, maintenance, and WATCH REPAIRING QUICK SERVICE COVERSTON’S WATCH SHOP Main Street FRONT ROYAL ' Get it thick-sliced for hearty young appetites!

He will also advise the applicant of any possible future revisions in the highway and their effect on this construction. The second: “Needed—A New Water Low in Virginia.” A copy of a broadcast by Dr. H. N. Young, Director Virginia Agriculture Experiment Station, who was asked by the Governor’s legislative advisory committee to make a study of water useage problems which is as fllows. - 1. Drainage Area. The basin drained by the streams contributing to the reservoir shall be run out to determine the area. Dependable topographic maps when available may be used for this purpose. 2. Structures. All drainage structures conducting the effluent from*the ponds through the highway fills shall be adequate to carry the maximum discharge from any flood originating in the 4rain^— age basin. The structures shall be so designed and constructed that the maximum high water from any flood shall not be higher than three feet below the crown of the highway at its lowest point adjacent to the pond or its basin. No moveable gates or ^valves will be permitted. _ ' 1 3. Roadway Fills. All highway embankments which serve as dams — to impound water in the farm ponds shall be critically examined to determine their suitability for this purpose. If found to be of doubtful stability, permits will not be granted, unless or until, the fills are strengthened or stabilized to the satisfaction o£ the Commissioner and at the sole expense of the petitioner. * 4. Landscaping. All of the area to be impounded within sight distance of the highway shall be cleaned of all trees and bushes, and the shore line shall he left in a neat and presentable condition. 5. Engineering. All measurements, calculations, design, and construction shall be performed by or under the supervision of the engineers of the Department of Highways, andtheir decisions— shall be final. * * 6. Cost. The cost of all work ' and appurtenances incident thereto required for the construction of farm ponds shall be borne solely by the petitioner, less the amount which department would have to spend for drainage structure if spillway had not been built. 7. Bond. The cost of the work contemplated shall be estimated by the Engineer of the Department of Highways, and the petitioner shall furnish bond to cover said estimate before work is started. Any balance of this amount not expended by the Commissioner shall be reimbursed to the petitioner. .......iL. HEALTH—from Page 2 . ' ‘ -r Although the warm season is sometimes thought of as the time )rhen cafe is most important in, food handling, we have to remem . / ’f ber that germs will grow readily at any time of the year in custards, sauces, and other foods prepared ahead of time and kept in a warm place. _ Here m Virginia, a number of resort guests were taken sick with an acute gastro-intestinal illness. Following a careful investigation, the food common to all was found to be broccoli—with hollandaise sauce. Laboratory examinations revealed staphylococcus aureus in the hollandaise. Staphylococcus aureus was also found in cultures from the nose and throat of the cook, who admitted taste-testing with his finger while preparing the sauce. Kept at room temperature, hollandaise was a perfect medium for the growth of the offending organism and the production of toxin. And so caution in selecting,, handling and storing of food may Keep The Well As Happy. I I LET’S DANCE TO THE MUSIC OF THE GREEN VALLEY BOYS RADIO AND TV STARS FRIDAY.

For, two of his great* est heroes are John Deere men—Dad and Grandads To him, the green and yellow of John Deere Tractors and implements is as natural to the landscape as the green of the cornstalks the gold of ripened grain. And ever since he's been old enough to lisp the word "tractor/' he's known that the name John Deere stands for something special in the way of farm equipment. He's heard Dad and Grandad fallr farm equipment time and time again. And, although some of the words have been a bit beyond him—■-words like . "quality" and "durability" and "efficiency"—he's got the drift of them, just the same. - That's why this pride of his is a natural thing—as much' a family trait as his cowlick, his tilted freckled nose, and the confident way he says: "I'm a John Deere man, myself." “Service When You Need lt” Dial 2791 CULPEPER, VA. \ Gins FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY Campbell Kids Cooking Set.*.... $4.95 Tea Sets .$1.98 up Texan Holster Spt, 2 guns... $7.49 Smokey Joe Play Suit...$3.95 Tractor Trailor Truck ..... $4.95 * Tractors .. $2.95 Steam Shovels... $6.75 Tool Chest (Jr. wood works) .$4.95 Lionel Electric Trains. $19.95 up .

Tops in State, Two 4-H » Winners Get Chicago Trips , Georg* Cather Lelia Gantry An old house transformed by a 17-year-old girl, a series of profitable meat animal projects on the part of a 20-year-old boy, plus dozens of other outstanding achievements, have resulted in trips for the two to National 4-H Club Congress in Chicago, 111., November 28-December 3. The two are George Cather of Winchester and Lelia Gentry of Flint Hill in Rappahannock county, state winners in meat animal and home improvement projects, respectively. * . When Miss Gentry took over the job of 'remodeling her family’s very old home, she. found that some of the rooms had never been painted, the paper was peeling, and the floors were in bad condition. She did a complete face-lifting job in those departments, then branched out into making curtains, laying linoleum, tying springs and refinishing and upholstering furniture. She also has been active in such projects as cheese making, planning and preparing meals, canning and clothing. Her trip is sponsored by the Sears Roebuck Foundation. In a different field, Cather has been equally successful. His meat animal projects in baby beef, sheep, _broilers, dairy cattle, swine and rabbits, plus field crops, has brought him an income of over $7,000 during his nine years in club work. Adept at showing champion animals, he has won some $435 in prizes. He was a 1953 delegate to National 4-H Camp in Washington, D. C., and is an active participant in county 4-H and FFA fairs. He has been a sweepstakes -winner for two years, an accomplishment no other Frederick county club member can claim. He also had a perfect score of 300 points in the district livestock judging contest in which 35 teams participated—an-, other unmatched record in the district. His trip is sponsored by the Plant Food Institute of Virginia and North Carolina. 4-H work in Virginia is conducted by the VPI Agricultural Extension Service. Peola Mills News Mrs. W. B.
