JS&3V ^ : VOLUME «—NUMBER 12 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY MORNING, JANUARY 20, 1955 Pries |2.00 PER YEAR 3 Down near Richmond stands a building in which the walla of one room are covered with portrait* of State Troopers that have given their lives in line of duty. These portraits are a token of appreciation to these brave men from the people of Virginia. We think this token of appreciation is !a fine thing, but, unless the citizens Of our State will render more cooperation to the law enforcement agencies we will have to build a larger building in which to house the portraits. We (feel that you should read the pledge of a State Trooper: ■'•<3 •• “Humbly recognizing the responsibilities entrusted to me as a member of the Department of State Police, an organization dedicated to the preservation of hitman life and property, I pledge myself to perform my duties honestly and faithfully to the best of my ability and without fear, favor or prejudice. I shall aid those in danger or distress, and shall strive always to make my State and country a safer place in which to live .... ! '■ I shall wage Unceasing war against crime in all itai forms, add shall consider no sacrifice too great In the performance of my duty. I shall obey the lows of the United States of America and of tile commonwealth of Virginia, aiid shall support and defend their constitutions against all enemies whomsoever, foreign and domestic. I shall always be loyal to and upbold the honor of my organization,., my State, and my Country.’* We feel that the State Troopert throughout this great State are doing their utmost to conform to this pledge, and we as citisens of this Commonwealth should give them our support, or they will be powerless to protect and make safe our homes and highways, oooo Mrs. Clyde Baggarly Was the first to answer correctly last week's question :V‘By what other name is the Countess Cassini known?”. Gene Tierney is the screen name of the Cpuntess Cassini. For a free subscription be the first to correctly answer th|s question: "There is a sea without any shore. What is its name and how do you explain this statementj? o o o O i At their annual meeting, the stockholders of Rappahannock Home Mutual Fire Insurance Co. voted to donate $200 to each of the 4 fire companies in the county. They are to be congratulated for this generous gesture of tion of the value of these fire < panics in the county. 4 * A notice has recently been ceived from the Dell Publis Company, Inc., a large comic l publisher, that thfy have initiate a pledge to parents to be carrie out in thef books under it dominion. They guarantee that these magazines will contain only dean and wholesome juvenile etj tertainment. The code willpramiaj the elimination entirdy o£ objec tionable material, instead of mer regulation of this material. In th recent emphasis on bad comics, a .a result of attempts to rid mark of horror, sadist, • stories, other perverted types of material, many persons have cepted the idea that “all” are 1 and should be banned as unhealthy reading matter for their offsprin There are countless numbers constructive, entertaining . books on sale. These boob are be recommended and the publis! ing companies, Dell inducted, to be congratulated for their work.

The recruiting station is located at the, Port Office Building in Culpeper. ivory Atkins, Jr. 4-H*er Of The Month ' ri « . ", *' -Mr - We are proud to present another Flint Hill boy, Ivory Atkins Jr., as 4-H’er of the month. Even though Ivory has conducted some very outstanding project work since 1950 perhaps his long suit is in his leadership recorcj. In' the four years of active dub work Ivory has completed projects in Market ■■ Hogs, Dairy Heifers, Tomatoes, Rural Electrification, Purebred Hogs, and/ Sheep. Although he has specialized, mainly in meat animal projedSklyoVywon top honors in the county with the Rural Electrification project^in 1952 winning a three day all expense paid trip to the Richmond Electric Congress as a county winner from Rappahannock. The next year, 1953, Ivory increased his projects to four—one of which was a purebred Poland Chjna gilt. By this time he was also devotion leader and finance committee chairman of the Flifit .Hill Club. By 1954 Ivory had won first place in the Purebred Pig Chain and received $60.00 prize money from the Sear’s Roebuck Foundation. Ivory used the $60.00 prize money toward the purchase of a purebred ^Holstein , Heifer for another project last year. In addition to his hogs and heifer, Ivory added five ewes to his project fist this year. With the help of his neighbors, Nelson and Lynn Atkins, Ivory expects to be in the sheep business soon. He also became a junior leader, along with Eddie Sutphin, for the Flint Hill Club. Even though Ivory has been increasing his number of •projects and his profits, all is not gravy because he lost his original Sears Sow at faxrowing the second time. He proved his ability to handle livestock by saving the one day old! fitter. . f. This year, Ivory became a member of die Washington Senior Club and we have big hopes for him irvthe future. This is another good example of what parents’ cooperation and encouragement will do.'

I have been in touch with some good Baptist -folks who, I believe, will assume the responsibility of conducting a Sunday School there each week. Money has been donated and material purchased to wire the Church and the Electric Company is now running a survey prepara-> tory to getting a line to the building. As soon as this is done there will be electric lights at Mt Salem. There are a great many people living within a mile or so of Mt -- '' Salem who do not attend Sunday School or Preaching Services anywhere and it is hoped that opening this‘Church will provide an opportunity for them to attend Church. - ’ There will be a Preaching Ser- vice at Mt Salem on 'Sunday, January 30 at, 2f pjm. at which time plans will be made for the future.
