ROB Dramatic (M ‘ Enters “Box and Cox” In State Contest Tor the first time in the history of Rapahannock County, the high school is entering the Virginia High School League One-Act Play Contest. For the premier performance, the newly organized Dramatics Club is presenting “Box and Cox,“a farce by J. M. Morton. The cast includes Mrs. Bouncer, a boarding house owner, portrayed by Mary Norman Davis, ' Mr. Box, a journeyman printer, .played by Galley Smith, III, and Mr. Cox, a journeyman hatter, played by Francis Bruce. The time of the play is the middle nineteenth century and the setting is one of the rooms in Mrs. Bouncer’s boarding house. This venerable female has let the room to two men, one of whom works in the daytime and sleeps at night and the other works at night and sleeps during the day. Her scheme is found out by the two gentlemen and the ensuing problems provide hilarious entertainment. - i The play will be entered in the District 'V. H. S. L. contest at Gar-Field High School February 27. The winner of the District contest goes to the State contest at the University of Virginia in April. The play will also be given at Rappahannock County High School on Friday, February 24 at 10:00 a. m. The public is cordially invited. Admission is 10 cents. Officers of the DramaiicsClub are: President, Faye/Black^SecTres. Jimmy Yates; Program Chairman, Frances Walker; Sponsor, Miss Nora Dillon. Any High School student interested in play production, whether it be acting, staging, makeup or lighting is eligible for membership. Only those with a “B” average may try out for the parts in dramatic productions. First President Helps First Lady Win $5000.00 “The Big Surprise” Never has Father George s . birthday been so totally and enthusiastically remembered as it was yesterday iri Washington, V*. falling in the 'midst of Mayor Dorothy Da vs’” appearances on the coast-to coast quiz show, The Big Surprise, with her cfiosen subject, “George Washington’s America." .Stepping into the television screen of millions of V i ewers (approximately 249 in Washington) Saturday night, Mrs. Davis answered, with ease, four questions, of 2 parts each, moving her winnings to $5,000 and guaranteeing her a minimum take home . purse of $1500. Were Mrs. Davis to miss (Heaven forbid) her next question, for $10,000, then she would be allowed a rescuer, and a chance for another try for the "/ $10,000. If she were to miss after , the rescuer saved her (again this is pure fiction) Her Honor would. pay the rescuer $1,000 out of heir earnings of $2500 and go home with $1500 (which ain’t chicken, • feed.) Mrs. uavis, loosing sum ana pretty in a smoke brown dr^ss, chatted with MC Jack Barry, telling him of her duties as mayor and ' about her family. Occasionally the cameras would flash out into the ' audience, and home television parties were broken up by waves and calls to George, III; and MaryNorman. In addition to her two oldest children, Mrs. Davis was accompanied to New York by Mrs. James Austin and children. • Sixty letters, two tejegrams and three long distance telephone callshave poured in from well wishers,, - not to mention, the scores of personal congratulations received each day. The^Apple Blosscim Festival have invited her to be a honored ~ guest at their festival, and a dress designer from New, York has asked permission to design a dress, especially for her to |wear next Saturday night. ‘ ! . f One tenth of her TV winnings | will be given to the Parish Hall fund of Trinity Episcopal Church, \Yashington, for the planned Parish Hall for Brotnfield Parish. To the town, Mrs. Davis will give a much needed and longed for power lawn mower. (The lawn mower was included in this year’s tentative budget, but due to Insuf- J ficient funds, its purchase was postponed. The rest of the money will be put aside for the chidren’s education. Mrs. Davis is the mother of three daughters and' a son. When asked what she would have done with the money supposing she had no civic of family responsibility, she answ'ered: “Well I might have taken a tramp steamer around the world.”1 One of the children, whp accompanied Mrs. Davis on the 'trip, commented, "Gee, I’m tired, on TV and Radio all in one day.” While on a tour the children were on, the radio show “Monitor.” They also visited the Empire State Building and rode the subway. When the next to the youngest daughter, . Dotty Taylor, asked her mother when she could go to New York, her mother replied, "When I’m trying for the $100, (Contiaaaii mm Pa$a 2)

RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia DIAt: WASHINGTON 2851 BRUCE S. BOWIE.. .. .. . .PuHisket Entered as second-class mail at the post office at Washington, Va. - SUBSCRIPTION (inadvance)_._1_____$2.00 a year YOUR CONGRESSMAN REPORTS By Rep. Burr P. Harrison When the average citizen goes into the voting booth on Election Day amfe prepares to mark his ballot for Representative in Congress, I believe he has two points in mind. He intends to vote for the individual he thinks will be the most likely to reflect his own views on public questions. He expects his choice to study carefully each piece of legislation and to exercise his best judgment. The voter has a right to demand . that his Representative examine a bill closely and decide whether a ■ “yea” or a “nay” vote on it would be in line with the best interests, and the wishes, of the citizens in his home district. After all, those who exercise the right of the ballot in the United States are the employers of legislators. The Representative, once elected has the further responsibility of reporting to the citizens on what is happening in Congress that might affect their interests. That is the only excuse for this news• paper column. He must realize too, that public opinion changes, and that issues which were not active during an election campaign often become very important many months later, when the President makes a recommendation to Congress, dr a controversial bill is introduced. ' During the recesses of Congress, it is possible for a Representative to come home from Washington and Jcarn how folks are thinking. Now ' with Congress in session and its committees operating full blast, the trips home must be fewer and shorter. That is why 1 am imposing on the citizens of the Seventh Congressional District of Virginia by* sending them, through the mails a questionaire. This set of 38 questions, with "* an explanatory .letter, has been mailed on a non partisan basis to voting households. My plan was to reach each home in which there is a registered voter, but I found it more of a job than I had anticipated to compile a list of all the voters with their proper mailing addresses. If your home was missed, therefore, and you are a voter interested in seeing the questionaire, send me a postal card at the House of Representatives in Washington, and I will mail you one. Obviously, it would require many more than 38 questions to poll citizens on all the thousands of pieces of legislation pending in Congress. I have selected those major issues which have been occupying the attention of Congressional committees. Many of the questions have been based on recommendations made to Congress by President Eisenhower, s as Federal aid to education, foreign aid, liberalization of imrafgration, public housing, die soil bant plan for agriculture, increased postal rates and a new Federal highway program with emphasis on interstate roads. As you know, Congress does not follow always the recommendations of a President, but his legislative proposals usually set the pattern of activity in Congress. The committees can be expected to concern themselves with the President’s bills, or substitutes for them. The questionaire is divided into Sre categories—international rations, agriculture, Federal finances, public improvements and labor and, social welfare. There is space for" general comments. Those voters who write their names and addresses on the form 'will be sent a report on the poll results. Unsigned returns will be counted in the totals.. All individual expressions of opinion will be kept strictly confidental by me, but I will make the overall results public. I realize that it is asking a good deal of a citizen, who may be occupied at this time with income tax forms, to'confront him with a list of 38 questions. I do hope, though, that voters wil be inclined to give me this assistance in my effort to represent them in accordance with their wishes. ; FOR THE FAMILY THAT ALREADY HAS A BIBLE '• Till Rtvlnd Standard Vonion This Easter yea can own a Bible so clearly written R will be renewed incentive to the study of God's Word.

BRUCE RECEIVES AWARD FOR BOND SALES MAYOR DAVIS 000.” Dotty Taylor was cred+. ulous, however, and told all her schoolmates thatshe was going to New York, just as soon as her mother got to the $100,00 Question. “Just in case I don’t get to the $100,000 question, I may take her this week,” Mrs. Davis laughingly told us. In order to have a rescuer on hand “just in case,” the interviewing board for The Big Surprise, phoned to ask M rs. Davis’ color of hair, eyes, complexion, and her weight. They also asked her hobby and where she would like to go on a vacation, to the mountains or to the seashore, plus her favorite form of recreation. Commencing that reading was her choice for the latter, she chose the seashore for her vacation spot, for “I live in the mountains already.” Holding in a tight grip a volumn of George Washington’s America, by Tebell (a student of Douglas Freeman) Mrs. Davis tackled her category, by coincidence, entitled George Washington’s America. The questions, and her answers as she remembers them are: $500—Where did (J e o r g e Washington deliver his farewell address to his soldiers at the end of the Revolutionary War and what was the month and year.? Ans. Sam Fraunces’ Tavern in New York on December 4, 1783 $1000—Who was the Minister to France that was instrumental in securing the French Aliance and who was the French nobleman who helped the American cause during the Revolution? Ans. Benjamin Franklin and Marquis de Lafayette. $2000—Who was the British officer who was captured with papers that implicated Benedict Arnold in a conspiracy to turn over West Point to the British ? Ahs. Hajor John Andre’ Who was killed in a duel that was fought between a former cabinet member and a former vice president over politica diffenences? Ans. Alexander Hamilton, cabinet members $5000—Who we $5000—Who were the members of the first cabinet offices after they were created by the government? Ans. State, Jefferson, Treasurer Hamilton, War, Knox. Who was the Attorney General and Chief Justice which were not cabinet posts at the time? (CntiaiW from Pag* 1) Randolph and John Jay. Trial Justice Cases The Commonwealth versus Max German Burdette, of Franklin. Tennessee, charged with petty larceny; Burdette was sentenced to 10 days in jail. Th* jail sentence was suspended on payment of the costs of the court. State Trooper, VV. A. Buntin, was the arresting officer. Mrs. B. F. Bruce, Assistant;;.

Flint Hill 4-Wers Attend Electric Project Meet A large group of 4-H chib members from Flint Hill attended the first meeting for the electric project, in Washington, and an even larger group turned out for the second session. The new members of the class are Buddy Lillard, Charles Bowling, Jr., Marlyn Sutphin, and Paul Baker. There are so many things to be learned in reference to electricity that many of the boys and girls are taking the first unit for the second or third time. In this unit care of home appliances and simple repairs to cords are taught. Those taking the advanced unit are'learning how to build electric brooders, plan a home water system and plan a home lighting system, and how to read the electric meter. This must be done for several months in order to complete the project. When the record books are completed, some time early in the summer, the whole group plans to hold a picnic, as they did last year. The boy and girl who turn in the best record will be awarded a trip to Richmond in September. Second place winners will receive a medal. ft 1954 GMC Pick-Up 8-FL Body, with Stock Racks Low Mileage ' One Owner — Looks and Runs Like New A Bargain At *1175“ TOM On The By-Pass ffARRENTON, VA. V
