oouaiw r? n SOME OBSERVATIONS . /. ,3' P*0 CON I want you M*aiaaoot to try an experi■nant with ine. Road the followinf quotations. Do you know who said them. Dp your children know? 1. "I only re fret that 1 have but tone life to ^oee for my country.” X “I have npt yet befun to fight." 3. “We heve met the enemy and they are 4. “Don’t ghle up the •hip!’* *• “Give me! liberty or give me death!" In a author Dick magazine of Dispatch, it of our rias are fadi| textbooks no America's hei last words." At a era, the department o: school told Mi article by teacher* ddy in This Week Richmond Thneasts ted that “many national memo, because today's longer find room for >ic episodes and galof history teach* of the history a large city high Reddy that there was nothing unusual in the fact that, out of nearly 500 high-school students in her class, leas than a dozen recognised Patrick Henry's stirring declaration “Give Me Liberty, or Give Me DeathF’. The teacher continued “If they today's history iboolcs forty years ago I certainly jwouldn’t be a his* tory teacher noyr full of anecdo' 1 mous sayings tory full of ' spiration.

He found No. 1 in 11; No. 2 in 8; No. S in 7; No. 4 in 1*; and No. 5 in 12. TTien he looked through 45 model n text books. He found No. 1 In <nly 1; No. 2 in none; No. 8 in mme; No. 4 in 2; and No, 5 in 8. In other words they’ve just abou disappeared. "The personality began to disappear from our texts just after the first World War. The biggest single reason forj the disappear^ ance was lack of |pace. Individual instances of patriotism and gal* lantry, however imfcirational to young readers, were allowed to be crowded out of thi texts.” “The stirring tales that erery child vpnce knew, r rpidly dropped out c/f the texts. Although they jhsd-heeii worth a thousand brass bands in instilling pride of conn* try, nothing appeared to take their place." o o o j o On hii return from a siege in the hospital, Charlie Jenkins gays us the following poem. We can sympathise with Kin} heartily. J*m tired of pills and [capsules red; Pm tired of being all day in bed; I’m tired of nurse’s finger tips, * thermometers between my lips. And I’m tired as I can be Of doctors going os I’m tired of putting all my hopes Bi pressure pumps land stethoscopes.

Bjri W. H. Ljp* Since most of the agronomic qualifying practices that a farm* er map carry ont in earning his payment under the Agricultural Conservation Program require that a soil test be made ah a guide -in determining the need of the practice; as many as S to 40 soil samples are being \ handled weekly through this apd Bub Gore's office. These samples represent approximately 750 acres of land and involve the farmers spending $12,000 to $15,000 In lime and' fertiliser. The toil tests are made in laboratories at Virginia Tech land returned to the County Agent for making recommendations for the amount of lime to be used and the analysis as well as amount of fertiliser to be used. To recommendations requires make interfalls protation of results of soil tests in relationship to the crop to be grown, soil type, field production and treatment history. Since this responsibility upon county agents, I naturally am most anxious to make sound recommendations that will not only satisfy the ACP committee but the farmer as well. Both having finances at stake; both! want and need to get tire desired results. ' ir :‘Unfortunately the resnljts of soil tests and the field production and treatment history ha4 not jibed in better than fifty per cent of the cases, thus respiting in the possibility of my recommendations being fifty per I cent off which could mean the spepdingf of $7000 to $7500 for practically naught Fields that have hid no lime in recent years and ‘have been yielding poorly simply shouldn’t show a high pH, nor a high calcium or magnesium! content Tet analysis results are coming in showing a pH of (J to 7.0 and having "High" to ‘fVery High” calcium jand magnesium content, when Ipplication Of no lime was reported, either should fields having no, hr even light applications, of fertilizer that have been giving poor yields (other than yields affected by weather conditions) show high phosphate as preand potash content Yet, viously stated in this column, 11 soil tests received in one ; day showed that such was the caps in five of the results, or that results were too low, or too high, when considering the relative hjigh amounts of fertiliser or Umejthat had boon applied in recent years. The next day seventeen tests came in. Beaults of ten aoeimod off. In two day* 15“ out of M results definitely looked wrong* Such made me believe someone was making a mistake or mistakes which could easily result in mining faith in a good tool . . . {soil testing. Either: (1) laboratory technicians were careless in making tests: (2) farmers were collecting soil samples improperly; or (S) farmers were feeling that the history of field production, fertilization, and liming were unimportant and therefore were gjvimportant and therefore were giving unaccurete reports. Any oiie, or combination, of these would ijesult in my making unsound recommendations.

The girls wjll now seranade you With hats both big and small Some of theta were bought last summer ; . And some ojf them this fall. We’ve often! heard-you talk and 1*US^ *: And tell us that our hats were funny, v But what you really objected to « Was that “they cost a lot of money.” i , .Y. . .„ So please forget your foolish. little peeve tonight And enter inti) this game with us Lighthearted and without spite. We want you to pick the prettiest and the! most styish too And last of till the ugliest, the tone that wiould never, never do. j| > And after the! judging is over We'have a surprise for you Now listen very carefully And we’ll give you all a clue Examine all these hats both inside and out\ And what you find in them surely won’t make you pout. Mrs. C. T. Bruce’s hat wasyud- ' ged die prettiest and Mrs. Hickman’s the most stylish. (The firemen gallantly, however, commented that all the hats were pretty.) A check for $250.00 was found in the brown velvet hat by Frank Huff, while Mahlon Ramey found - the firemen’s checkfor $250.00 in the ribbons tied over another hat. The Fire Company presented ; Mrs. B. R.

. RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia DIAL: WASHINGTON 2851 % BRUCE S. BOWIE. ..!.. .Publish*, Entered as second-class mail at the post office at Washington, Va. SUBSCRIPTION (inadvance)___1_ $2.00 a year Letter To The Editor Editor of Rappahannock News Washington, Va. Dear Sir; r I want to thank you and youp paper for the fine job you did in raising money for the repair work on old Mt. Salem Baptist Church. I would like to report that tie chimney has been repaired and that in the near future work will be begun on the roof and ceiling. I appreciate the interest that the folks have shown in restoring this historic Church and we are looking forward to a homecoming day this summer when the completely restored building can be re-dedicated to the Lord’s service. Inasmuch as the good people of, Rappahannock county and other neighbors have made this work possible when it is all completed I will send to your paper a complete report on the work done and the money expended. Again thanking you, I am, very cordially yours, Joseph S. Graver YOUR CONGRESSMAN REPORTS By Rep. Burr P. Harrison Anyone who has a home or business on or near the Valley Pike (U. S. Route 11),or, for that matter, who uses the road frequently has a direct stake in highway legislation being considered in Congross. Actually, any new Federal highway program will affect the pocketbooks of ill of us. A Federal "grant” merely means that our tax money goes to Washington, .where the bureaucrats “process” it, and some of it finds its way back as a “grant” for roads or other public improvements. I mention the Valley Pike particularly because it is one of the Virginia highways in the 40,000 miles of key roads of the United States included in the National Interstate System. These are the roads considered most important to the Nation,from standpoints of commerce and national defense. Federal highway officials would like to see most of them built to four lanes or better, with limited access, as soon as possible. In the case of the Valley Pike, this could mean drastic relocation of the road, with by-passes around all principal cities and towns. Present Federal standards for major highways in the National Interstate System call for elimination of level intersections and installation of a limited number of grade separations ( underpasses and overpasses). These would be the only places at which the motorist or trucker could get onto, or off, the “new” Valley Pike. Even more drastic is the Federal idea that the rights of way 'for principal roads in the-National Interstate System should be wide enough to insure governmental control ovier all business establishments located along the superhighways, such as restaurants, filling stations and motels. This policy was carried to the ultimate in the report of the Clay Commission, which President Eisenhower" urged Congress to adopt last year. The Commission proposed establishment of a new Federal corporation which would is sue bonds and use the proceeds to build, superhighways inthe National Interstate System. This corporation would have power to come into any State and condemn land for rpads. It would control the' routing and design of the highways and, presumably, would set up a licensing, or concession, system with respect to the public facilities to be provided along the roads. • The present Valley Pike, in such circumstances, could become “a "side road”, and the effects on business and property values would be incalculable. • Congress did not act on the Clay Commission scheme. Instead, the Senate passed the Gore bill and the House considered, but rejected, the Fallon Bill. Both placed emphasis on additional money for the National interstate System. The difference between the original program of President Eisenhower and the alternative highway bills so far considered in Congress is that the former would give the Federal Government absolute control over construction in the National , Interstate System, while the latter would allow the Federal Government to establish standards, as at present, but leave to the States the decision as to whether Federal money was to be requested for a particular road. This is another year, and new highway bilb will be up lor discussion in Congress. Federal road officials still want the National Interstate System completed to Federal standards as soon as possible, so there will be proposals for the Federal Government to put up 90% or more of the cost, instead of 60%, as at present, for these major roads. If Federal money .is used, there, is no doubt Federal design standards will have to be observed. A key point to look for in highway bills, however, is whether we will be given a new superhighway, a new and relocated Valley Pike, for instance, whether we want it or not or have a chance, through the State Highway Commission, to decide which roads we want built or improved, and for which of these we Will ask Federal money. It has been suggested that Virginia might be able to handle most of its road construction with its own tax funds if the Federal Government gave up the 2-cent excise tax on gasoline. (Th$ State then could raise its own gasoline tax 2 cents without increasing the burden on the highway user.) At present, the Federal gasoline tax produces approximately a billion dollars in revenue—almost double the federal contribution to the cost of building roads—so much of this money is used for other Federal expenses. Last week, during consideration in the House Committee on Ways and Means of a proposal to relieve fanners from the Federal gasoline tax with respect to fuel used off the highway (in tractors, etc.), I moved to abolish the federal tax on gasoline. My motion was defeated by an overwhelming margin. This indicated clearly {hat the Federal Government will continue to collect its gasoline tax. The only way in which all of this money can be obtained for highway work, therefore, is by increasing the federal share of the cost of highway construction. There was a man who called a spade a spade ... until be stumbled over one in the dark. SPERRYVILLE METHODIST CHURCH On May 6th, 1954, a parcel of land was sold by Mrs. Lucy Wood for $25.00 to seven men, the trustees of Sperryville Methodist Church. These men were James Hull, Lyle Millan, W'illiam Hopper, William Hopkins, William Alsop, John Partlow and John Buckner. Some of the older people living in 1925 said that the church was built by Messers Bob and Scott Bruce of Fauquier County. The following were the charter members: Mrs. Jane Arnold, Miss Tenny Atkins, Miss Sara Broy, Mrs. Kitty Totten, Mrs. Ann Rudasill, Mrs. George Taylor, Mr. William Hull and the above named board of trustees. Others who were inembers as far back as the Civil War were: Mrs. Fanny Bruce, Mrs. Beech, Mrs. Jenny Thompson, Mrs. Sallie Hyde, Mrs. Frank Millan, Miss Ann Millan and Miss Lina Johnson. The first minister to hold services in this church was Rev. James B. Fitzgerald, who married Miss Lizzie Dear of Washington, during his pastorate here. In 1915, during ^he pastorate of the Rev. A. P. Williams, the old church was tom down and the present church built on the same site. During the time of rebuilding, services were held in the Masonic Hall. The cornerstone was laid with Masonic Ceremonies, August 12, 1915, condulted by the Rev. Dr. T. W. Hooper of Culpeper, who made the address. Bishop Collins Denny dedicated thechurch in 1928 during the District Conference which was held that year at Sperryville. Sunday School Superintendents have been: Mr. William Hull, Mr. John Schwartz, Mrs. Joseph F. Johnson, Mr. James Estes, Mr. Fremont Menefee, Mr. John Strole, Mr. Raymond Dodson, and Mr. Sidney Perry. The Church was redecorated during the pastorate of the Rev. L. C. Vaughan. Chimes were installed during the pastorate of the Rev. O. W. Lynch. The latest improvement is the memorial window installed in 1951. This window was presented by Mr. James A. Estes in memory of his wife, Mrs. Ella V. Estes. The following is the list of Ministers that have served the Church since the building was erected: Charles H. McGee, M. A. Davidson, W. A. S. Conrad, Richard Ferguson, R. T. Clarke, H. J. Brown, T. G Pullen, P. M. Bell, A. P. Williams, W. A. Osser, C. C. Jones, J. K. Holman, C. L. Salmon, J. H. Abernathy, D. L. Hager, L. H. Youell, S. W. Wilkinson, L. C. Vaughan, O. W. Lynch, E. E. Henley, Norman J. Flythe, David Menchhofer, H. G. Thach, and A. D. Goodson. SOCIAL SECURITY “Many Rappahannock county, farmers have already filed tax returns for the 1955 calender year," Robert E. Parsons, assistant manager of the Alexandria social security office, announced today. “This year for the first time they have paid self-employment tax for social security protection.” Parsons emphasized that all farmers who netted $400 or more in 1955 from farming must file these returns by April 15, 1956. Proper tax returns and advice concerning taxes can be obtained from the nearest office of Internal Revenue. Parsons explained, “This social security credit will mean much to farm families. Suppose we take the case of a young and prosperous farmer with a wife and child. His earnings up to $4200 a year are taxable for social security. In the event he should die soon after the close of his second crop year under social security and had made the maximum of $4200 in both yean, the widow and small dhild would receive a monthly benefit of $162.80. “Few fanners make $4200 a year,” Parsons continued. “Let us consider an instance where the farmer makes $1200 a year on an average. At that rate he can qualify for $55 per month when he is 65. His wife, after reaching 65 may qualify for $27.50 per month, or a total of $82.50 for the two. If a farmer who makes $1200 each year,(two crop years if the minimum requirement) after 19 54 should die, survived by a widow and two young children, $82.60 could be paid them every month, terminating when the youngest child reaches 18. Payments to the widow could be resumed when she reaches 65. , [■ ■ Parsons cautioned farmers not to overlook the filing of their tax return before April 15, 1956. WASHINGTON WJS.CA. The W. S. C.

Rev. Francis Allison . Director Of Conference Center *Twenty-five or more years ago, the Reverend W. Francis Allison ' came to Rappahannock to make a home and pastor a people. During /hi* ten years here the Episcopal churches in Speriyville and WashJ ington grew rapidly. The dream the congregations had of a rectory became a reality under the pastor’s •guidance. His was the first family to make their home in the Rectory * Before coming to Rappahannock, Mr. Allison had under his charge the churches in Brandy, Remington, Washington, Sperryville, and Madison. Before the Rectory was completed, the Reverend and-his family lived in the Sealock house. Mr. Allison rented, an office for ,hi* study from Miss Louise O'Baiinon, in Sperryville. From Rappahannock, Mr. Allison and family moved to Belvedere, N.J., and then to Montrose, Pennsylvania where Jie has ministered for 8 Vi year*. A clipping was recently received ' from a friend in the county, telling of the Reverend Mr. Allison’* - resignation from the Montrose church, St. Paul’s, to accept in appointment as director of the new Diocesan Conference' Center at. Mountain Top, Penna. , The new diocesan center, an estate valued at $750,000 given to the diocese, wiH be the center forvarious kinds of conferences and regional meetings of the churches Wifhin the diocese as well as other churches. The article went on to highly praise the Reverend Mr. Allison for his activities.not only as a pastor but as a civic-minded perron, lending his time to such organiza-' rytions as the Red Cross, Free , .library Association, and the County Ministerium. It is interesting to note that «ven as the pastor, in the early days of his ministry caused die churches in Rappahannock to grow and die Rectory, to materialize, even so has he left a mark of progress in every community where he has served as minister. ’ Miss Eva Minix Gives Pointers On .

Boys Lose To Marshall 71-49 Wc went to Marshall Tuesday night to break this losing Streaky Russell Sisk was the acting captain for this game. The starting five were: Bruce, Rutherford, Walker Sisk and Clater.Sisk jumped center and Marchall got the ball and scored first. Rutherford hit three consective times to put Rappahannock ahead 6-3. The scoring was see-sawing with both teams looking good, I , hope Rappahannock can keep it up. Wright, Marshall’s tall center looked good here in the first quarter. The first quarter ends 19-12, Marshall, with Rutherford getting 8 so far. Second quarter: Marshall starts scoring early, 25-16 after Walker has hit. At this point Marshall is doninating both back-boards. 33-18,(we can’t cope with this center) Brown comes in for Rutherford, 36-22, Walker begins to get nasty with foul shots. 40-24. Updike comes in for Clater. 44-27, Bruce, like Walker, begins to hit the free throws. The half ends, 44-27, Marshall. Third quarter...As the second half got under way, Marshall got the jump and proceeded from there. Marshall dominates play 48-27. Walker hits. These guys are playing a fast game. Walker again, 59-31. Third quarter ends 64-31 with Rappahannock being badly out-played. Fourth quarter: Marshall gets the jump and scored, 66-31. That Wright again! 68-35, Walker and Rutherford hit, the play is getting faster. 68-37, Rutherford, again. Clater hits, 70-39. The game ends 71-49 with Bruce and Walker hitting the last couple of minutes. j R.CJLS.

Of these 83 were purchased by means of the State-aid Library Plan and 143 were donated to the school by Mrs. T. J. Pillar, Mrs. Z. H. Sealock, Mrs. Fred Schaefer^’ Mrs. T. E.

First person to bring in the name of Miss X will receive a free paper for the monthi of February. P.S. Francis Bruce was Mr. X for die month of' November. > Neville Wood and George Davis won the paper for being first to identify Mr. X. Christmas Pageant Glee Club Presented On December 22 1955, the Glee Club gave a Christmas Pageant entitled “The Christmas Crib.” Before the pageant, with the voices of the Glee Club, the primary grades gave a play.

EVERYDAY LIFE ATR.C.H.S. , By Audrey Pullen Monday morning rolls around! The weekend is over and we are . all back at the old grind once more. The majority of us are wondering what we had for homework, not that we didn’t have the best of intentions of doing it, but we. just didn’t get around to it somehow. Anyway, as I was saying we’re * back at school and you just try and forget that. •, The 9:15 bell has rung and we are to go to our first period classes, in which we cause the poor teachers to become very annoyed at us by telling of our weekend events. The 10:10 bell ringsi for 2nd period class, and we all get the teachers so discusted at us: for talking and yawning and of coarse, forgetting to do our homework. We never can forget drat! The 11:15 bell, go to the 3rd period classes which we aggravate everyone by discussing the topic “What’s for lunch”? j At 12 KX), there is a mad rush for the lunch room. Afterward everyone gathers into individual . groups for gossiping. When the 12:30 bell rings for 4th period class, everyone is searching for his books. By this time you - would think everyone would be talked out. You ought to listen to ~ ' the 4th period chit-chat. The 1:25 bell, 5th period, every* ones tarts talking about die day being almost gone. Thank goodness! At 2:30, the 6th and last of the day, Ho Humm... Thus Monday is the Worst day of the week for Pupils and Teachers alike, is gone. Gosh, only four more days before another weekend.

EDITORIAL WHAT IS CHRISTMASt Hid D*a It Effect You? Often we hear someone say that they sure are glad when Christmas is over, and they can gte rested up again! Is Christmas supposed to be just a long vacation, filled with fun? No . . • Christmas Day’s meaning is often mistaken. When we think of Christmas Day, do we remember what it stands for? Do we remember that Christ was bora, and that it has been celebrated annually for that reason, and not just to have an opportunity to eat, drink and he merry? What did “we” do good this Christmas? Do you have an empty feeling; a feeling that you have missed die true spirit of Christmas? Let’s take time t<? help others. THE EDjxORS, ’56 It Good Sportsmanship Important This month you 'readers will probably think that the Editorials in the Hi Lite* are turning into Lectures, but they’ve told us that we are supposed to express our bpinkms, so here goes. Is it true that R.C.H.S. some times shows bad sportsmanship? Do “we ourselves", including you, me, and everyone else realize it? Are we i guilty of teasing the opposition teams’ players, when on the.court; do we scream out mean things at the referees when our team is losing; how about, trying to trip people from the visitor’s side when they walk by. Is this funny? How would you feel? Stop and think—~ Remember the Golden Rule, ‘Do unto others as you would have them do unto .you." Hat-Rodding Disease l '‘Spin a wheel”, “Drag”, and “Dual Carbs” are names associated With a disease much in the same manner that pain, sufferings and death are associated with Infantile paralysis, Cancer, etc. Aim a high powered rifle, at a group of people, pull the trigger, and one or more people will die. Let’s realize what a deadly weapon an automobile,^ improperly handled, is. . „ Basically, every hob hot rods at some time in his, life. It is an Expression of an inner emotion which demands satisfaction. Every boy yearns to be a man; Lacking manhood, he does whatever he can to attract attention to himself much as the two year old who has tantrums, or cries to attract attention. . In summary, fellows, and girls, grow up 1 Don't get in a situation, wherein ten years from now, you will still be known as that kid wrho killed Joe Smith, or Sally Brown. OnrThanks For Everything! Sometimes we, the students of R.C.H.S. forget how much we have to be thankful for, but I sat thinking the other day. just how much we do have. It isn t very often that ‘this’ happens, as with, “as they say—a growing Teen-Ager." Somehow teen-agers have received a reputation through the years as being self-centered and having growing up plans! I don’t think this b true. Most of us do think of others, and try to help our friends out in time of need. To get back to the subject, have we realized lately how very much we have? “We” the young people of die world, who some day will make up. the Senate, Congress, maybe even we know a future President in short—The citizens of the United States of America. That’s what I’m thankful for—being free, healthy, and happy. ' i ¥ **i:*-' i REPLACEMENTS During the summer of 1955, three classrooms , die school office, die agriculture classroom, roof of main building and that of die agriculture shop building and hallways in main building,upstairs and down were given much needed coats of (Mint. The cost was borne by the School Board, as was the cost of new shades for three classrooms. , In addition, shades for three more classrooms, repairs and paint for the boys’ wadi room and a new adding machine for 'the office, athletic equipment, and blackout shades for die auditorium have been provided by the school, from it’s “ice. cream money” and. other receipts. The blackout curtains are being purchased with funds left for school improvement by the Class of 1955. A large, best quality new American flag' has been puij^iased by the school and is flown from the pole every day of school, weather permitting. V The school and the State Department of Education arepaying for new •equiptnent for the classes in Vocational Agriculture. There may be no clearly defined line of demarcation, indicating where or when or for what the Board pays, and for what, when or where the School pays, but so far both agencies have been and are working in complete cooperation in an effort to keep the old ship afloat. . Addenda: The gas cook stove used for two or three years in the Flint Hill school when the school operated a lunch room* has been added to'the kitchen equipment of the high school. It was installed during the Thanksgiving holidays and releaves the pressure considerably. . . Next step: Repainting completely the kitchen and lunch room* THE COMMON CHATTER By "Hootie Owl" Well—Christmas is over, and all of us, well—most of us are back at school.

Favor Foster is practically floating on air these days since he s a husband! , ... Judy Hawkins’ hair looks different since Christmas— wonder why that blonde streak isn’t in there? . Glen Williams just loves Fairfax County now, doesn’t it? Also Lynn is an awfully pretty name, isn’t it Glen ? ? ? Buddy Zinn looks worried, these days—could it be because die Warrenton boys are coming to Rapp’k too often ? Bobby Menefee seems mad lately ! 1 ! Why? Evelyn Miller likes Harrisonburg quite a lot doesn’t she, or does, she l ! ! What about us ? Anna Boyd 'loves to fight first during Christmas, doesn’t she ? Jimmy Yates is interested in an eleventh grade figure, but it’s not Geometry is it' Mrs. Burford? Miss Dillon milked cows from Wednesday 11 to Friday 13. While the cat is away, do the mice play.

PARALYSIS JANUARY 3-31 New Black-Out Curtains For School "Why don’t we have movies at school?” Most of us have asked* that question sometime during our school yean here at R. C. H. S. Why don’t we? Well, why hav*- j n’t we done something about it instead of just complaining? Arc we always going to sit around and complain, and do nothing? Finally we have found a way to have our movies, thanks to Mrs, Johnson, Mr. Level and Mr. Winfrey. We are selling subscriptions to the Rappahannock News and Mr. Bowie is nice enough to give us a percentage of the sales. Why don’t we work together? That’s how we build school, community, a nation and how we make friends. Lets work together....Why not? FHA On December 14, Rebecca Fin-, cham, accompanied by Miss Dillon, entered the State Cherry Pin Baking Contest in Winchester. She was eligible by winning the Chapter contest. Other counties competing were Clarke, Fauquier and Warren. The contestant from Clarke county won. She will go to Chicago for die National contest. Fads ’N Fashions Girls are usually the ones to start fads but in R.C.H.S. the boys seem to have taken over. Here are just a few of the ideas they have come up with: We are sure everyone has noticed the white bucks painted in red and blue that have been walking around school. Decorated in nail polish with the latest Bop sayings they’re sure to be noticed wherever they go. The boys have also adopted a style from the gay-nineties that is —vests! Bright plaids, bold print, or gay colors, anything as long as they are loud enough td be seen. The boys also have discovered hats, all shapes and sizes. We think this one fad that will stick. Enough for the fads—now for some of the fashions. Everyone, both boys and girls are wearing V-necked sweaters. They come in orlon or wool in a great variety of colors. For the girls they look very . nice worn with a scarf or collar. More and more pretty belts are coming on the market this year. Franceen Fashions puts out a cowhide that comes with a choice of monograms to slip into the brass buckle. It comes in orange, tan, brown or navy. For the personal touch—a belt buckle covered in the same fabric as your favorite dress. All you need is a slim rustproof buckle, plus a bias strip of your own fabric to cover it. CLASS NEWS—9-B Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Burford visited relatives in Amherst during the Christmas holidays. Florence Atkins spent a week with her sister in Baltimore over the Christmas holidays.

Spending thousands of dollars; taxation dollars, farmers operating capital ... dollars that affect standard of living which would mean waste! Conscience demanded effort to try and And out who was wrong and doing so quickly. This meant traveling all over the county, making repeat farm visits several times before finding the land owner at home, getting the job done ahead of falling snow. Cold—yes; disagreeable—yes, but no one cares about such things when they •feel they kre doing something worthwhile ... something that should help somebody. The more people you feel will be benefitted the greater the desire there is to do, (not just me,, any average person). I first decided to check on test results that seemed '‘wrong” then got cautious and decided “brother you could be wrong yourself;” check those that seem right to you as well. , Soil samples were drawn from the first eleven results referred to above (six that looked right and five wrong)., At on* farm where the soil test revealed a pH that looked “too high” on the original test the owner recalled that lime had been applied at the rate of two tons per acre in 1953 instead of none in the past three yean. Decided Td better get another sample anyway, the phosphate content looked tpo high when only 300 lbs of 2-12-12 had been applied in three years. Second tests showed pH almost the same as original test, phosphate content “low” instead of “very high”. At another place where pH looked too high, since no lime had been applied in three yean, I found the soil to be Gritty Brandywine. This type soil does not require as much lime to sweeten it as do soils of higher clay content. Had it ever been limed?

SlumeJvL jbfuuf StaH* Front Royal Yae, at 2 or S tons par acre 4 or S years ago. Below normal rainfall since then could mean much of the lima was still present. Results of second tests showed this to bt trust. At three other places where liberal to fairly liberal applications of lime and fertiliser had been applied and test results on original samples Were low (all on pasture fields), I learned that one man had t*ken the soil sample to.a 78 inch depth rather than, to a depth of 2.6 to S inch depth. Only on crop land should the sample be taken to plow depth. Results of second tests hare not been received from the soil laboratory. What about the possibility of error at the laboratory? After collecting soil samples sach was thoroughly mixed, divided equally and sent to tho lab as two ,separate samples. Results; although the technician had no way of tell* ing sample A and sample B were actually from the same field* their readings were identical as follows: Six out of fourteen on pH, fourteen out of fourteen on calcium, fourteen out of fourteen on magnesium, fourteen out of fourteen on phosphate level, and thirteen out of fourteen on potash. The variation in pH was from 0.1 to 0.2 which is very close. Mighty accurate work, Fd say. Now what? We must simply concentrate greater effort in, teaching people how to take a soil sample using available tools, emphasizing the difference in getting a sample from a pasture field from the method of getting a sample from a pasture field from the method of getting a sample from a crop field. Also we must encourage farmers to make accurate reports on field history. Also fanners should learn all they can about sdil types on their farms while Mr. Coleman or Mr. Derting or Mr. Carter are making the soil survey. If such has already been done then I suggest you go see these men and find out what you have to work with and what it is good for. A soil test is an excellent guide but can be not better than the manner in which the sample is taken. It might be compared to a thermometer reading in diagnosing an illness. Below normal temperatures are expected with many diseases, above normal with others. Doctors not only need thermometer readings, they listen to your respiration, check blood pressure, pay close attention to outward appearances of the patient, etc., and then prescribe. Thus a county agent must nave accurate information on not only soil tests but,in addition know what crop is to be crown on what type of soil and the past performance of the field as well as past treat* ment Method detnonstrations on taking soil samples will be conducted by your county agent as follows: Wednesday, February 1—9 K)0 a.m., Thompson Adams; 10:15 a.m., Thomas Taylor; 11:30 in., Jim Smith; 1:00 pm., Frank Armentrout; 2:30 p.m., Oscar Jenkins; 8 'JO p.m., Brown Miller.

I sincerely hope that you will come and learn how to do the job if you are not sure you are doing to in a proper manner.

Ifni County A|nt Having a couple of water pipes nigh impossible to insulate properly because of location, your scpibe commenced looking about for a electric heating cable which is approved by Fire Underwriters and which he had heard about through Agric. Engineers of VPI Since the insulating I had done proved ineffective' with temperatures below 20 degrees and forecasts called for continued cold weather I began searching electric appliance places in a hurry without success. An appeal to Bill Varner did the trick. Results excellent protection against cold, very simple and easy to install and very economical especially from the standpoint of current usage. County Agent Doings T’was nice to have the new year get started in a big way in; requests from farmers for guidance in their business affairs: January 2nd to Doug Smith’s to try and cull a mighty uniform good producing beef herd of 38 cows built from an original purchase of two purebred cows.

The Virginia Veas office has even sought the help of Iowa State since the Experimental station of that, institution has donfc more swine disease research than probably any other. Conclusions: Wise to have swine double inoculated against cholera and by all means report sickness quickly to Dr. Wake (telephone Warrenton 15) as a cooperative effort in finding out just what the trouble is.
