Rappahannock News, December 9, 1954

•vVOLUME 6—NUMBER 6 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 9, 1964 Price $2.00 PER YEAR. ~ Mrs. John Frizzell was the first person to identify the famous writer that popularized these lines: “You are Old Father Williams,” as Lewis Carroll. For this week’s free subscription be the first to correctly answer this question: “Who in years past was known as Old Probabilities?” o o o o “Jolly Old Santa Claus and his 7 prancing reindeer” have been sadly exploited. Not so much by stores, though they too are at fault; but the individual parent has exploited him even more. And thus* we arrive at a time, when the so-called religious may say, “All the children talk about is Santa Claus. . .why they don’t even know whose birthday it is—awful, awful.” And in attempting to reverse the pendulum they talk) endlessly of the Christmas story. The Christmas story is a lovely one it grows on you with age, becoming more meaniful each year, But even so is Santa Claus a wonderful story. Seen clearly, he is „rQuite Christlike. More important, he is a living image, that a child’s mind can grasp much more readily than he can, angels, and wise men, He has a disposition that makes him a cheerful giver and a gracious receiver. The gracious receiver, w< have exploited, often ignoring the • “giver.” This year, when we talk oi Santa’s trip down the chimney let’s have a word and a thoughl for the “giving Santa.” Let’s teacl our children to see Skfita Claus as a live person and as an image too So. when they grow to the age ol realization, they will not experience a rude awakening but i transfer of allegiance from the _one to the other. Thus they will see Santa Claus all around them and perhaps, in the looking glass too. RAPP’K APPROVED FOR DROUGHT RELIEF PROGM. BY STATE COM Last Friday, a committee consisting of A. C. Latham and Milton Gore appeared before the State new a request thaf Rappahahnock be included in the drought reliei program. (Committeeman W. H. Lyne could not attend.)

Hampton District still leads in total sales, having turned in $76.00. Wakefield made a sizable gain of $29 this week over their $50.50 contribution total last week. Piedmont is third with $49 and the other, districts follow: Jackson, $39.50; Hawthorne, $26.50 and Stonewall, $26.00. This cause to which the contributions are dedicated is not an abstract one.

June 1, Deadline For Excess Wheat — Fanners who have 1955 wheat acreage in excess of the farm allotment or 15 acres, whichever is the larger, may utilize the excess acreage as green manure, cover crop, hay or silage to avoid having a farm marketing excess of wheat. Farmers with 15 acres or less may also utilize acreage in excess of their allotments to qualify for price support. In Rappahannock County the date by which excess wheat shall be utilized is June 1, 1955 according to H. S. Barksdale, County ASC chairman. He stated that acreage in excess of the allotment and 15 acres not utilized for one of the foregoing purposes by this date will be ^subject to a penalty equal to 45 p&r cent of the wheat parity price on May 1, 1955. The penalty rate onthe 1954 crop was $1.12 per bushel. The ASC chairman cautioned all wheat farmers in the county who have excess wheat, whether intentionally seeded or otherwise, to make a memorandum of the June 1 date of utilization. There are no provisions under the 1955 wheat marketings program - fon granting an extension of that date. Farmers who plant wheat and other grain for mixture are also reminded that such mixtures must be less than 50 per cent by weightof wheat when seeded, as well as when harvested, to quality as a wheat mixture under the definition of the marketing quota program. The responsibility of a wheat mixture turning out to be less than 50 per cent pf wheat by weight when harvested is entirely upon the wheat farmer. Any acreage which do not qualify under the definition of a wheat mixture and which acreages are in excess of the farm allotment will be subject to marketing quota penalties on the production therefrom. ~ CIRCLE COLLECTS WORN CLOTHES If you have some clothes that your children have outgrown or some other, worn but good, clothes you don’t need, contact a member of the Lou Keyser Circle of the Washington Baptist Church.

Agriculture Census/ Enters Final Stages The 1954 Census of Agriculture is in its final stages locally and can he completed within the next two weeks if farmers will fill out their questionnaires and have them ready for the enumerator when he calls, according to Field Supervisor Cameron H. Belland. The farm census questionaires were mailed in advance of the start of the field enumeration for the purpose of giving farm operators time to consult their records and fill out the forms before the enumerators began their rounds. This procedure was planned to insure greater accuracy and to save time for both the farmer and the farm census on time will not only help in keeping costs ddwn but will aid in prompt publication of the > results. ! These goals cannot be reached, however, unless farmers assist, the supervisor pointed out, urging local farmers to fill out their questionnaires and have them ready when the enumerator calls. To date, approximately 65,000 farms have been enumerated in the -Northern Virginia counties under the supervision of the local office.

I just got back from a week of three banquets a day, including steak and .fried potatoes for breakfast. I received gifts, from orchids and candy to a model Ford tractor and a thermos jug. I spent a week with folks from 48 states and 23 foreign countries. I attended the ThirtyThird National 4-H Club Congress! My trip was sponsored by Sears, Roebuck and Co. My project wa Home Improvement or decorating I didn’t win in one year—it took ? ■ seven, but I still didn’t earn all . this. It’s like a dream, to see and live through a week like this. The Virginia delegation left or\4 the Norfolk and Western’s Powhatan Arrow on Friday, November 26. As we rolled across the country, our 30 delegates and 6 leaders got to know each others It--™ was a wonderful group, and by the1 end of the week over a fourth had won national honors. We boarded Pullman in Cincinnati. I had nevet slept on a train before but after such an exciting day, I did sleep. We arrived very early Saturday morning, ’midst snow and fog. We didn’t see the sun again ‘til we got back to Virginia on December 3. We were assigned rooms in the Conrad Hilton, the largest hotel in the world, with over 3,000 rooms, its own power plant, laundry and stores. That -morning we shopped in Marshall Field’s and ate lunch under the lovely 4-story high Christmas tree. ~ .. * Back at the hotel, we greeted delegates arriving every hour. Westerners in big hats, southerners who hadn’t seen snow in nine years, an American Indian wh° was so American he didn’t know what his name meant in Hopi, and 4-H’ers from Alaska and Puerto Rica were all there. I found this one of the most memorable experiences at Congress, this meeting boys and girls from all over our land. It made you stand up straight when the lights were out and a spot light was on the waving flag and we sang “The Star Spangled Banner” (i a • . t n ui uic uciiuuiui.-. We also stood up and cheered when “Carry Me Back” or ‘‘Dixie” was played. Of course, the band also played “Yankee Doodle” . and “Home On the Range.” After all this one band played “Hail, hail the gang’s all here.” That’s . really the way we felt, especially when we heard speakers like the Honorable John Foster Dulles and Ezra Taft Benson. We felt •> proud to be Americans, and to be 4-H members, 1300 out of 2 million, the largest rural youth group in the world. Saturday evening we had a special show at the WLS barn’ dance, oldest in America. We saw JHomer and Jethro, Woody Mercer and many other top bam dance entertainers. ) That night our state had its own banquet, where we learned that 8 of our number had won $300 scholraships as national winners. One of our boys, Edward Felton, was absolute tops in the nation in public speaking. Three of f our members presided at meals during the week. Sunday morning all 1300 deleSh 4-H — Page 11

RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS -PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At Washington, Rappahannock County Virginia DIAL WASHINGTON 2851 __ BRUCE S. BOWIE ....... Publisher Entcrcdassecond-dass mail matter at thc postX'fficc at Washington Virginia SUBSCRIPTION: 'in advance)___:__$2.00 a year A MAN LEAVES HIS HOME TOWN Editor’s Note—(Although the following article was written by Paul R. Busch in the Howells (Neb.) Journal on the occasion of leaving his home town, it can, with a little imagination, be our town that is being left by a boy, now man . . . ) As we finished packing early Monday morning and prepared to start for the East, I slipped away from the house and sat in the yard for a few minutes. I looked over the town of Howells and it was a beautiful sight as it.lay sleeping in the wide, tree green valley of the Maple Creek. To a man from Mars, Howells would probably look like any other midwestern hamlet, but to me it was excitingly different, because I knew the people who worked in those stores, who lived in those homes and who worshipped in those churches.--i—■_ I had seen them happy and gay at dances and parties. I had seen them bury their dead and christen their children. Gay, generous, stingy, petty, affectionate, thoughtful, revengeful, forgiving, diligent, slothful, forgetful, meticulous—I had seen them in every light. I knew their fathers and mothers and most of their grandfathers and grandmothers and on that quiet September morning I realized anew that a town is not a collection of buildings situated on a certain legal description. A town is the people who live in it and for those (like me) who have been blessed with the privilege of living much of their life in = one community, a town is not only the present, but also the past—a thousand words and deeds that dwell only in the Palace of Memory. For me a part of Howells is the wind blowing through Bobisud’s cottonwood tree (long since gone) and lulling a tired boy to sleep; the fire siren wailing and blowing as Copy Dickey’s funeral procession climbed the long mile to the cemetery; Dr. Myers whistling as he marched down the‘street; the sun shining through the gold stained glass window and painting a strange mosaic picture on the church floor; Jim Drahota laughSTOP!

Srb addressing the high school students and tugging at his sagging trousers without losing an ouncesof his majestic dignity; Anton Mesti climbing up and down and over a threshing machine on exhibition in front of the store; old ‘‘Iron Mike.” a water hydrant at the corner where the drug store is—a cold, Refreshing drink that ran day and night for the special benefit of boys who ran too far and too fast; Tillmann’s grove where we spent so many happy evenings frying steaks, and the church bells that woke us each morning and reminded us each evening that there is more to life than bread and wine. As I sat in the yard looking at our town the thought came to me that if a catastrophe would wipe Howells off the face of the earth this second, it would live for decades in the fond memory of hundreds of men and women who had the privilege of being part of Howells during a chapter of their life. And as they tell their children and grandchildren about the heartaches and laughter they shared in Howells, the town could live on and on forever. People make a town and good* people have made Howells a good town. . # DEEDS RECORDED IN rRAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY December 3 — December 6 From Price S. Yancey to Andrew W.

Quinn, of the Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries says that the Commission is often asked why it is permitted to hunt deer with dogs east of the Blue Ridge, but not west of the mountains. Quinn says it is not practical to hunl deer with dogs west of the Blue Ridge where the high-powered rifle is in common use and where stalking deer is the usual hunting procedure. In. the low level lands of eastern Virginia, stalking deer is not practical and therefore dogs are used. Hunters take definite stands and - remain on them, hoping that the “ dogs will chase the deer by. —-— 17 ATTEND SUPPER AUXILIARY SPONSORS - VOICE INTEREST The Ladies Auxiliary of Rappahannock Fire Company gave a spaghetti supper at the Fire House Friday evening.

Many cases of simple constipation do not require a laxative at all, but only a minor change in diet and habit. „ The habitual use of cathartics is dangerous. Such misuse is often followed by chronic ill health. Strong laxatives are particularly dangerous when taken to \ relieve abdominal distress. The source of the pain should always be accurately determined by your physician.' The safe procedure is to consult him. If a laxative is needed, he will prescribe a safe prepara- * * tion with proper instructions for dosage. Then bring , your prescription to us for expert compounding.

- The Real Atmosphere and Meaning of Christmas,” the chosen theme of the Front Royal Christmas parade, held Friday night, was told and , retold in a countless number of graceful floats picturing choral singing, winter scenes and religious portraits. Included in the floats was the onfe pictured above, with its accompanying caption, Put Christ In Christmas. _ _ ___ * An estimated 9,000 spectators jammed the curbsides and stood on tiptoes as Front Royal launched the Yule tide season. 4-H — (con’t from page I) gates gathered in the grand ballroom for church. Dr. Kenneth Hilderband spoke’to us on “Your Dreams Count, Too.” We felt his topic fitted us as this week was a dream-come-true. Paul Harvey, famous radio commentator, read the scriptures. It was wonderful to sing “Give heart and soul and mind and strength to serve The King of Kings” with 13004-H’ers. It was our pledge in different words. » That evening, I attended the special banquet given by Sears for Home Improvement state winners. I received an orchid corsage and a lovely book on decorating and enjoyed top entertainment. There was one boy, from Kentucky, who had won in this contest. The rest were girls, many of whom I met. Sunday night, all of us attended the Sunday Evening Club, where we were welcomed by Edward Foss Wilson, of Wilson and Co. Everyone sang the 4-H songs and foreign delegates were presented to us by Dr. Fred Frutchey of U.S.D.A.

Royal Ave. FRONT ROYAL Day Phone: 217 Night Phone: 355 or 879 spoke on "The Power to Become.” It was a most inspiring service for all of us. Coming out, I spoke to the Canadian delegation and remarked I enjoyed their radio programs. They replied that their favorite station was WWVA, Wheeling, West Virginia, especially the allnight show. Something in common already! The next day began the schedule of fabulous entertainment and meals, with a breakfast given by . Firestone, with all five of the Firestone sons present. They presented a musical revue, featuring Christmas music. I enjoyed the girls, dressed in white, who played carols by jumping up and down to ring bells on belts around their waists. Later we attended Cinerama as guests of International Harvester. It stirred our pride in America to see it presented in this new exciting, new medium. Our lunch was also presented by International. At the annual Thomas E. Wilson banquet, a meal \ which has been served at every club congress, we met Bob Feller, Otto Graham, Arnold Palmer and Don Liddle. The sports stars agreed that it takes a good man, no matter what his race, to play a good game.The main speaker ,at this meal however, was Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, who presented the nation’s newest development in foreign policy. We felt honored to be the first to hear this address. He helped us understand the theme of this club congress “Working together for world understanding.” The breakfast program next morning was presented by Sears, Roebuck and Co. The Purdue University Glee Club sang. This was most enjoyable and their singing of “The Lord’s Prayer” was impressive. Lunch was donated by Montgomery Ward, at the South Shore Country Club. Each girl received an informative and useful cook book. After the meal, Fred Waring'and the Pennsylvanians sang, among the selections “A Place In the Sun.” He wrote this song and • # \ • •••»* ■ dedicated it Jp the 4-H Clubs. We sang “Where, Oh Where, but in America” with him. His group also presented a square dance, a minstrel and a selection of Christmas songs. ^”The For(f‘Mot6f Cor also presented a luncheon program where we were entertained by Ed Sullivan, June Valley and other members -of—Sullivan V latest TV "shows. We “were proTid~ta"4rave^ Paul Saunders, our national achievement winner, preside at this meal."Ford presented us with scale model tractors. The U. S. Rubber Co. gave a breakfast with national 4-H talent Winners entertainment. It was as good jls any of the professional talent, With acts from a maremba player and rope jumpers to cowboy bands and an accordian player. Virginia was pleased to have Billy Thomas sing “Old Man River,” which we had enjoyed so much at short course. --- Lunch was given by General Motors at the Palmer House. Every member received a model 1955 Pontiac. Entertainment was presented by a dancing team, jugglers, a TV performer and Lew Diamond’s orchestra. Thursday night, everyone attended the annual 4-H banquet, where dessert was “illuminated 4-H bombs” brought into the darkened room on lighted blocks of ice. The dessert course at another meal was accompanied by 4-H Club spelled out in huge blocks of ice. This banquet, like the others, is held in the grand bail room with its six giant chandeliers. It is a beautiful room, especially when every girl there is wearing an orchid and every boy, a carnation! Did you ever see 800 orchids at once? I hadn’t either, but they were presented to us at the U. S. Rubber Co. breakfast. Also at these banquets, national winners were presented. The donors were the sponsors of the meals. At the last one, on Thursday night, national winners received $300 college scholarships, sets of silver and silver trays, depending on their project. Even those of us who won no national award felt honored to have so mpch done for us and given to us. We learned it costs some sponsor about $900 to send a delegate. Then, all these other companies presented meals, entertainment and gifts. These gifts beside flowers and tractors included a jar of dates from Kerr, a steel rule, a thermos jug and a free program from Cinerama. In case you think we did nothing but eat, we had a fashion show presenting the winners in style revue, and showing of the - new movie oa 4-H produced by Ford. ,We were allowed to criticize this movie, choose the name and suggest places where it will be shown,-—— At this time^- -Secretary of Agriculture Benson spoke to us. He was given a copy of the film and he said he would show it to his family, to the president and his cabinet. In fact Mr. Benson said he wished every American could see this film. ? We had a party, given by Coats and Clark in the beautiful and unusual Aragon ballroom. It is built to resemble a French market square, with “houses” around the walls. The balconies have chairs and tables, the ceiling is deep blue with stars which twinkled and clouds moying across it. We danced to Eddie Howard’s orchestra, while he was broadcasting over WLS. , On Wednesday evening, we attended the International Livestock Exhibition where we saw the evening horse show. Then Curtis Candy Co. gave us a box supper, while our own 4-H band from Shawnee, Kansas, played. The group toured the exhibits where we saw the grand champions, including the 4-H. girls’ bull, which later sold for $15 a pound. Later, we formed in lines of four in the ramps. We marched into the arena, to the music of the .band, and formed 4 giant H’s with 30 columns of 4 in each “leg” of the letter. As we repeated our pledge, we lighted flash lights, so the giant letters glowed in the darkened arena. How inspiring to hear 1,300 voices singing “Sons of the soil are we, men of the coming years!” That’s another moment I’ll never forget, seeing the flags of our 48 states and the 23 foreign countries ranged around the edge with the 4-H’s in the center. On Thursday night, we had a farewell party, came to our rooms and packed. We even packed our gift thermos jugs full—no space went to waste. ~ Friday, our Virginia delegation went to Don McNeil’s Breakfast Club. Two of ou r number were on the show and afterwards, I drew cards for door prizes. We enjoyed this very much, though we nearly went to sleep while waiting. At 1 p.m. we boarded the train for home. The North Carolina dele gation came back with us, so we had a falent show with them. Our talent included W. A. Turner singing “Water Boy.” The next morning as we said goodbye, we realized what a ^wonderful week it had been. I can never thank, iriperS0n,all those people who helped me go—there are too many. These include my 4-H—leaders,—my_parents, my teachers, my competitors and, of course' my donorT- --- I hope that I can repay some of it by helping other 4-H members win this trip some day. It was The Time of My Life—and—I— would like to think I had helped someone else have this wonderful experience. But that’s the future, right now “Carry me back to old Virginia” where the sun shines and I can get some sleep and some soft bread.
