The proceeds of the carnival are undetermined. What With the bad weather the carnival met both this and last year, and the rainy night the Ladies Carnival saw a few months ago, one individual has suggested ..a solution: When there is a dry spell let the county farmers pitch in and get the Washington Firemen to have a carnival.

'' Though the TV had been disconnected the lightning jumped from the end of the line, laying on the floor, straight to the TV set, playing havoc in it. Luckily none of the family was close to the set, and thus were uninjured. GUEST SPEAKER~AT~~~ BAPTIST CHURCHES The Reverend John D.

Following Charlie Estes in a Jeep pickup, the car Went several more miles. Back in the road, the car v moved forward slowly on a road bed that was described as “just like a river bed”. When it reached a stream it could not navigate, the Jeep towed it over. Coming to , a bridge washed out, the men left die car, and taking the stretcher, went on in the Jeep, They went to within 30 yards of the house, when they reached a second bridge washed out. They waded die' ‘stream and putting Mrs. Dickinson on the stretcher*, began their return trip, by Jeep and by foot alternately until they reached the rescue car. Coming back by the road that cuts off at Old Hollow the rescue car soon reached the main road and rushed the patient to the Warren Memorial Hospital. At'7:10 Mrs. Dickinson was on the x-ray table. • Recognition should be made of the following persons who took part in the call—Willis Burke, Charlie Jenkins, Husky Scroggins, Robert Settle, Lyle Rector, and E.

BOW.IE. ..FuUhkn Ei*«red Mi xcond-d»M mail matter at nt peat ooce at Waabitifto*. Yinpma SUBSCRIPTION’ : advance) --- SLOO a 7—9 Latter To Tba Editor Dear Editor: 1 here seems to oe some misunderstanding about what happened Sunday afternoon when the Rescue call came in from above Spertyville. We had the call around five p.m. that a woman had broken her . hip and needed to be taken to the hospital. • Now right -here is where I get my Irish up—some one made a statement that there were no rescue squad members Acre and the ones who went out shouldn’t have done so. Do they mean that if all the members were out of town and a call came in die car should stay there. That must be what they mean. With the help of Charlie Estes we made it over the road that had been torn up by high water. Charlie did more to help us than we can ever thank him for. It would be pretty bad if it had happened up here because some folks here don’t seem to do anything but criticize what others are trying to do. Charlie Esites went out of his way to do all he could and Lyle Rector from Flint Hill came over to help all he could—Yet there are people who sit up on the corner and say things about the men who Were not members but saw it was their duty and answered the call. I am thankful we still have men who will do things and try to help their fellow man. Folks we can’t live without one another and team work. If you can’t help by going or by belonging to helpful organizations, and you can’t say something useful about them, then keep your mouth shut. It is hard “enough to keep things going and we don’t appreciate people sitting around thinking and talking about things they don’t try to help with. Another thing I want to say— the siren on the rescue car is not * on there for looks. We don’t blow it just to make a noise. It is on there to Warn drivers to give the right of way for an emergency. Most out-of-state cars do pull over and stop, and in Front Royal they will yield the right of way, ( but so many of our local drivers will just ignore the siren—be it on the Rescue Car or the Fire 1 rucc. it must dc uwi uwj don’t realize that it could be their loved one that is being rushed to the hospital—when a matter of minutes could mean the difference between life and death. 1 I want to thank from the bottom of my heart every man who helped Sunday and if there is any other way I can thank them, I will be glad to do so. We have only one rescue squad to serve the entire county. I would like to see in time every community in the county have one, for I think they are very necessary to a community. _ ( So you folks who sit and talk about whether all taking part at an emergency are members of the squad, that person is doing what 1 he can to help. You who jt around and criticize could put'That time to a more useful purpose—get a first aid book and study it and practice the first aid technique and become a full fledged member of an organization that is trying to do some good. ( And for1 the information of those who said no member of the squad was on this trip — two regular member* were then, i1m| with a man who had Red Crow pint Aid—so you see before you talk you had better knew what you are talking about. Let’s talk it over in the open and work it out together. Sincerely, Jack Barber ' Rescue Squad Member *nd Fireman. Trial Justice Cases The Commonwealth vs. Lewis S.

Memoriae your local signals so you will know what to do instinctively. The ALERT SIGNAL, which means attack is probable, is a steady blast of three to five minutes’ duration.. When you hear this, it indicates Conelrad (640 or 1240). Follow civil defense directions promptly. The alert signal will mean evacuation or mobilization of civil defense forces, depending on your location. The TAKE COVER SIGNAL is a wailing tone, or a series of short blasts, of three minutes’ duration. When you haer this, it indicates that attack is imminent and you must take the best available shelter. Stay in the shelter until civil defense authorities tell you it is safe to come out. If in doubt, switch your radio to the emergency frequencies (640 or 1240)—FAST. SLAUGHTER—fro* page 1 ary they were getting. All of $25 i inofith**9 young Allie left school at IS , to {work on tut father'* farm. “The hour* were really long then—eun up to sun down. Jf you came in before dark, father would want to know what broke down”. In 1889, when he was 16 Allie brent on his longest trip alone, to Front Royal After £3 year* ot farming, which he laved, the young man came .m Washington and operated a harness shop for several years. , He then married Virginia Jackson Daniel of Rappahannock, and the couple lived at The Oaks for several years. In Man* of 1901, Mr. Slaughter went to Newport News to work in die ship yards. Hearing that the Jefferson Hotd in Richmond had burned the previous night, he hurried around to see the remains. The walls were standing, but inside wba a burned shamble. Mrs. Slaughter joined her husband shortly, but due to her ill health, they returned to Washington. He farmed the Greenaway Farm, then known as “Willis Hill”. He also lived in what is now the Hugh J. Racer home, for 11 years, the Kinsey Farm, for 10 years, and at Mcadowbrook Farm for two years, as well as in Flint Hill briefly. (Mr. Slaughter did not just say “couple, several”—he gave the day, month and year, and we daresay, if we had asked the time of day, he would have had it on the tip of his tongue.) \ .From 1927-1939,1 the Slaughter family lived in the Wood house in Washington. After the death of Mrs. Slaughter, Mr. Allie moved into the D. G Updike home, where he made his home for 13 years. He then moved to the jail house, where he now boards1 with Mr. and Mrs. Guy Burke. (Many are his jokes about "being sent to jail” and finally being made a “trusty”. For many years, Mr. Slaughter was a construction worker, 'building several bams in this vicinity, and doing extensive work on the Wade Massie home and on the Rappahannock School House. This working with wood has grown into a love, which shows iftelf in the delicate masterpieces he has turned out, from shaping tiny monkeys out of peach seeds, to figuring a miniature grandfather’s clock, and on the larger scale, lovely coffee tables and sideboards. Many of his friends have received the tiny monkeys. Since the first, made in 1895, he estimates, 3 CONFIDENCE...

His vivid memory of another day-one past—has not shut the door on an interesting present, where with % pleasant wit and a kind thought, he has made hit impression. Round Of Strikes Bad For Farmers The recent round of strikes resulting in wage increases and guaranteed wages can be interpreted for fanners in two words— “higher costs’’—says Dr. J. L. Max ton, agricultural economist at VPI. Although some of the higher wages will be spent for food and other farm products, they >are not expected to add up to any net increases in farm income, Dr. Maxton says. He has some tips on what to look for, and what to do about farm prices. Hog prices are due for some decline from late July to November. Prices may drop as much as 5c a pound, then strengthen in Dep / r t s’ DRIVE-IN THEATRE FRONT ROYAL On Straaburg Road THURSDAY, AUG. 26 H. G.

All the time it rained. Everything was slush. Everybody was sick and tired of it all. In the midst of this depressing state of affairs one fair lady of the county was splashing her way down town in Washington, and seeing the proprietor of Washington Cash Store, arranging a display on his front porch Mopped to chat, and seeing the display to shake with glee. The display— you guessed it—little, big and middle sized SPRINKLERS. As a modern sequel to that tale, we hear that as the hurricane rains threatened to drown the county, on Skipper's porch, with a proud “for sale sign” set—a Sprinkler. (All similarity between this story and any other stories, living or dead, is purely intentional. IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of our dear son and brother, Russell Lee Racer, who departed this life one year ago August 26, 1954. Today recalls sad memories of a loved onie gone to rest, and the ones who think of you today are the ones who loved you best. We can never forget that sad day that Jesus called our loved one away. Leaving us without his care. And wondering why he had to die, without a chance to say goodbye. From this world of pain and sorrow to the land of joy and rest God has taken you, dear one, where you'll find eternal rest. God saw the road was getting rough, the hills so hard to climb, he gently closed your, loving eyes and said, "Peace be thine”. Days of sadness still come over • us, hidden tears so often flow, memory keeps our loved one .near us,, though he died one year ago. We will try to still our heartache and do our best to smile, for, God will let us come to you alter • a little while. Mother and Father Sisters and Brother BRIDGE CLUB MET WITH MRS. BURFORD Mrs. L.'

Starch it! Mias Helen D. Alverson, home management specialist at VPI Agricultural Extension Service, says putting the perkiness back into nylon taffeta is easy with instant (precooked} cold water laundry starch. Launder petticoat as usual. Leave it damp for starching. Measure two quarts of cold water into pan large enough for starching. Gradually add 1V4 cups starch, swishing with hand until starch is completely dissolved. Dip petticoat up and down several times in starch solution, pressing the solution through garment. Do not wring. Fasten dripping skirt by waistband to hanger (or line) and let it drip dry. Petticoat will be extremely stiff when dry, but will have a slightly softer finish after ironing. Iron petticoat with iron set at proper temperature for nylon—* “low” if your iron has no fabnc. indicators on dial. With dry iron, iron petticoat while still slightly damp, sponging any dry areas lightly before ironing. With steam iron, if it has a steam setting for STOCK-FEEDER: Steers.
