Just a few short weeks ago we were told to trust the members of the legislature on . the Constitutional Convention— they advised us to vote in a hurry so they could pass on the hill during-this session. As soon as the people of | Virginia blindly follow £ their advieje they display the most t lastardly ■■.5: bill and the paper edi State have ouble-cross imaginable. Speaker iof the House E. Blackburn Moore comes up with a bill to postpone action until a later session. Thje Attorney-General of r Virginia advised against such a leading daily newsore throughout the commented editorially against such a measure. But, displaying the r arrogance a majority of the :nembers of the legislature blin ily follow-th e-leader. What will! happen next in Richmond is unpredictable. The only, thing we cad do is hope and pray, and remember all this doublecrossing whien another election rolls around! Doubtless we need a new Speaker in the House, that will speak add act the same way. o o u o Two mors 'donation* hove boon received for She repair of. Old Mt.

This law prohibits the burning of brush, trash, or other , debris within 300 feet of Woodland, or in inflammable material Which would lead to woodland, except between 4 .-00 p. m. and 12:00 midnight. This law is a fire prevention measure which helps to decrease the danger of forest fires quring the dry spring period, at. which time forest fire danger is highest. The law has been effective in curb-. ing the number of fires in the County, but the danger of fires escaping after 4:00 p. m. is still present. Johnson encourages everyone to bum only after 4:00 p.' m.j,and then only on a calm, moist j day. Prevention measures to prevent the fire from escaping should be taken because, regardless ofl the tiftie a fire is started, any person who allows a fire to escape because of carelessness is responsible for tha * cost of suppression.

RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia DIAL: WASHINGTON 2851 BRUCE S. BOWIE...Publishe, Entered as second-class mail at the post office at Washington,' Va. SUBSCRIPTION (inadvance) (2.00 a year YOUR CONGRESSMAN REPORTS By Rep. Burr P. Harrison We regret that Representative Harrison’s column is omitted this -week. The report was sent in on time, but in some way we misplaced it—our fault, not Bur's. LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor: I do not know who is writing the histories of the churches in Rappahannock, but as long as 1 was a member of Flint Hill church for sixty years, 1 hope you will allow me to make a few corrections. Between the pastorate of Barnett Grimsley and Thomas F. Grimsley, Rev. I. N. May served the church for several years, I do not know the dates, as that was before I even lived near Flint Hill, and was too young to remember. I was baptized by Rev. A. J. Fristoe, who was succeeded by Hugh Goodwin, Atwell Tucker, and F. P. Berkley. Rev. M. _ F. Sanford was then pastor, until Charles Clement was called, about four years, I think. Mr. Clement came to the field in 1909, and served continuously until 1923, when he resigned, and was succeeded by Rev. George F. Cook. Rev. W. J. Reynolds was never pastor of Flint HilL The remainder of the data is correct. Hope you will not think I am ‘butting in’, but we older folks remember past events pretty well. Sincerely, Mrs. R. E. Miller, Culpeper, Va. Editors Note:—We greatly appreciate the above information. It is difficult to get the facts on the churches in the county, and we appreciate anyone correcting ns when we make a mistake in the histories.—Editor.

DAVIS—From P«c« 1 the week before the intervew than I have since.” When asked in New York what her library facilities were, Mrs. Davis answered “my dining room table." Interested friends^ have loaned her 25 books, mahy the latest writing on her subject. In addition, quantities of odd bits of information are given her daily, on her way to the post office, or while hanging up clothes. It’s no easy task interviewing A celebrity. A question and then Before the answer can be thought of, the telephone brings a “congratulations.” The answer, then again Mr. Bell’s miraculous, if sometimes relentless, invention tolls again, with this time an “invitation.” On and on.... Mrs. Davis was invited to attend the National Capital Flower and (garden Show as an honored guest. (Mrs. Eisenhower is to preside) However, since she and her lady council members will be enroute, by train, to New York, this honor had to be refused. (Mrs. Rayner V. Snead and Mrs. Lewis J. Turner, members of the Rappahanoock Garden Club, are planning to attend.) Floyd LaVancher, of New York Mrs. Davis’ partner on the Two For die Money quiz wrote &Mrs. Davis this week offering his good wishes. She hears each week from the lady whose great, great, great grandfather was Robert Livingston, who swore in George Washington. In spite of the deluge of complimentary stories in town, city and state publications, and having risen in a few short weeks to a wealth of at least $4,000, Mrs. Davis remains the unassuming attractive young woman elected as mayor of Washington. She has no desire to go on a buying spree, or even to buy a new dftss. In fact she feels so natural that' it’s almost unnatural, she comments. Last week she was happy with her minimum winnings of $1500, this week she is happy with the $4UW minimum take home purse. It just means, she did say, that the children can have perhaps a choice of a better college. By special invitation of The Big Surprise, the ladies of the town council will accompany Mrs. Davis Saturday night. While last Saturn day night the county people were treated to a glimpse of Mrs. B. M. Miller, and the show stealer, Dorothy Taylor, this week they will see the Mayor and Mrs. John R. Frizzell, Jr., Miss Ruby Jenkins, Mrs. Morgan Johnson, Mrs.Milton Hawkins, Mrs. A. M. Vemer and Mrs. J. W. Critzer.

That is crew cuts. It seems every spring al the boy* start getting crew cuts an d by sum* mer a boy with long hair is very rare indeed. v Not many girls change hair styles for spring, but tjhey emit brighten up their outfits: by wearing gay flowers and decoj-ations in their hair or around thjeir ponytails. Another thing, how apout that felt skirt hanging in your jdoset because you are tired of wearing it? ,Get it out, and sew a bright bunch of daisies or other posies on it to give it a new look. Toj make it dressy looking, sequins ahd beads can be used instead. Here’s some bright ideas j for summer jewelry. Jangling gilt coins from far away places make a merry bangle bracelet,5 a circle pin, and clip earrings. Alljby Marina: each about $1.00.

For instance, we paint initials alii over our shoes, and wear crazy hats, and wear what is called stupid hair cuts. I overheard a conversation between two adults one day last week. They were speaking of “this younger generation” which, in short (neans us! Adults claim that we, thei teenagers are wild, irresponsihjej, and on the whole lazier than thejf ever were. Well—are we—on the Whole? I don’t think so, I honestly believe that the majority of us try ito do what’s best and to help others. Could it be that the word “juvenile delinquent” was not yet discovered or known when they were growing up? Have they forgotten 'when they were young??? . Things I Didn’t Know TOl Now teachDuring the career of most ers, they run across a great deal of information that would otherwise remain obsolete if it were npt for examinations, during the course of mid-semester exams in this school.

Any resemblance between j these facts and truth its purely jcoinddental. George Washington—British General during the American Revolution. I Jamestown was settled by the Puritans.

Representatives From R.C.H.S. To S Warrenton > Joyce Walter and Henry Zinn represented RCHS at a discusson to promote Safe Driving in Warrenton, Va., on Friday February 10th. This meeting was sponsor-^ ed by the Home Demonstration Clubs of Northern Virginia. Mrs. Robertson, Mr. Taylor and Sgt. Benton led the panel talks, from which a number of worthwhile facts were disclosed. Our representatives learned that Delaware is the only state that has a driving course in every school. Virginia has 417 high schools; 216 of / these have a course in studying about safe driving while 113 have a behind-thc-wheel course. N Boys have more accidents and are more reckless than girls; therefore, insurance rates for boys under 25 years of age are 50% more than the normal rate. Beginning February 1, 1956 boys who have studied driving in schools will get a 5% deduction from the 50%and if they have had both the study and behind-the-wheel course, they will have 10% deducted from the 50%. The courses include . 30 classroom hours of study and 6 hours behind-the-wheel to get a half credit toward high school graduation. Although some RCHS pupils are receiving classroom instruction in safe driving, we would like to have the complete course next year if possible. What Would Happen Students didn’t ride to school with teachers? ?*■ * There were no studies st RCHS? Polly Nethers and John Eubank didn’t know each other? Mary Norman Davis d i d n’t like to act in plays? Hill Walker wasn’t a good basketbalj player? - Patricia Reeves wasn’t so attractive? - Johnny Weaver didn’t like Biology? s Johnny Jenkins wasn’t quiet? S Hootie Owl minded his own , business? ■

For example, in the class-room an opportunity to cheat - may arise. In our minds it could . be easier for us to copy our classmates paper. Here is where we iiecd| courage. Who couldn’t win by cheating? Who coudn’t pass by cheating How do you feel with an Al won that way I Not only in .class room do we need courage, but at home, on the highway or at socials. As teenagers we need to think not only of things that might happen to us, but how it would affect others. One of the mo6t , courageous things in life is to follow this maxim: "Look before you leap.” Courage is not right thinking but right acting as well. It will mean a life for each of us where in we may say, “I did my best.” Hill Walker Co-Editor. THINGS I piDNT KNOW (CoatinMd from F*"* P*l*) irig machine. Elias Howe invented the cotton > gin.

Let’s all go... I’m gonna’ go so I’ll see you there. Is it really true that there’s a new fad gping around school? All our students are getting married! Charles Henry Sisk seems to like Culpeper plenty, doesn’t he? I wonder why? I hear Patricia Weaver is counting the days until graduation. Is there any special reason? Rachel Deal thought that blue rings are pretty, and what she did proves it. Her hand is pretty heavy now. Mrs. Dorothy Bonner, formerly Dorothy Wiliams certainly is happy these days. We’ll sure miss her when she goes to Okla. won't we? Peachy Lyne seems terribly interested in Flint Hill lately, WHY? Jean Jenkins certainly likes the initials E. M. doesn’t she? Could the first name be Earl? From all I hear, Miss Blagg is awfully anxious for June to come. Now I can’t imagine why. Wedding bells wil be ringing??? Weill! Is it really true that the Sperryville 4H Dance really changed things between D. G. and M. S.? How about it Millie? Glen Williams sterns to have decided that Fairfax County isn’t quite as wonderful as Rapp’k after all. O. K. Glen? Is it true that Carolyn Turner has lost interest in R. M. A.' for another reason?

Mr. Codbin wishes to thank all those who‘gave him their pennies so he could have a vacation, especially the Varsity Club. 4-H Dance The Sperryville Senior Club held a dance on February 4th. Everyone seemed to have a good time. The chaperone judged each couple on their dancing Including how well they danced together, how mueh they danced and how friendly and co-operative with the others. On this basis they chose a king and queen. We are proud to say Galley Smith and Peachy Lyne were chosen. Mrs. Gentry crowned the kjng and in return the king crowned the queen. Kenneth Clater won a cake decorated for Valentines. Now we will let you in on a little secret. It was baked by Peachy Lyne!! We wish to thank the people who helped to decorate very much. $18.00 was taken in on the dance and we cleared $11.00. Why? Why? Why? As usual there’s always someone in a group of people who have to “stick out” like a broken finger. Why is it that when we have a basket ball game, etc. that someone always has to show bad sportsmanship ? Its’ been noticed that at some of our games that there are always one or two people who yell ugly remarks to the players, try to trip them, or call them dishonest when our opposition is ahead. We’re' proud of RCHS. Why ruin it by giving us a bad name of "bad sports” ? The ones who' usually cause trouble think no one notices them, but ire do, so think and remember the Golden Rule.!!!! 1 “Fantasy In Ink” A dance is being planned" for March 2nd by the Hi-LiteS staff. It was voted on that the name would be “Fantasy In Ink” and that we would not have an orchestra for it, but if it succeeded to have a larger dance in the spring. Those ’ that wish to attend this dance may buy their tickets from any member of the staff. We hope you will all come, and we guarantee a good time for all. Notice To Dance Committee All those on committees, or those who wish to be on one please see your editors sometime during the next week. We need all the help to make our dance a success, so let’s all “pitch in.” The Editors. “Miss X” Miss X is a junior and is quite a popular gal 1 'She has blonde hair, blue eyes, and rides a school bus from Amissville every morning to school. She has an older sister who graduated two years ago, and is now living in Culpeper with her husband. Miss X likes to dance, go to movies, and does not plan to go to college. Who is she???? I I WASHINGTON METHODIST CHURCH The Methodist Episcopal Church South, as formerly known, is located on the southwestern part of Town Lot No. 43, at the northeastern corner of Gay and Jett streets, in the Town of Washington, Virginia. * The records disclose that during the year 1888, at the time the building of a Methodist Church at the County Seat of Rappahannock was contemplated, there were within the Town and the immediate vicinity but eight persons affiliated with the denomination, which were Baldwin B. Baggarly, his wife, Mrs. Baggarly, Mrs. Charles Henry Dear, Mrs. William B. Settle, her daughter, Miss Alma Settle, later Mrs. Clarence Bragg, John Albert Compton, Stephen Hicks, and his daughter, Miss Eugenia Hicks. The lot on which the Church was to be erected was donated by Mr. Baggarly. It was through solicitation of contributions both within and without the Town, County and State a very large part of the money to erect the Church was procured. Through solicited subscriptions, gifts and the funds acquired by ladies’ organizations, some four or five thousand dollars became available for the construction of the building. The corner Stone of the Church was iaiS by Washington Lodge No. 78, Aftcient Free and Accepted Masons, and bears the inscription “M. E. Church South, September 6, 1889”. = The building was erected by John A. Cannon, of Manassas, a well known and experienced contractor and builder. It was completed during the year 1890. Special donations to the Church during construction included the following: The walnut Chancel Rail, a gift of Warrenton Methodist Church; the Bible Stand or Pulpit, a gift of Mrs. Emma Baggarly; the Weather Vane on the spire, an infallable weather prognosticator, thought to be a gift of the contractor and builder, Mr. Cannon; the marble Corner Stone, the name of the giver no record; the abstract of title and the deed of gift to the lot, was prepared by William B. Settle, an attorney, without compensation; more recently, the walnut, pews, a gift of Washington Presbyterian Church. j The Dedication Sermon was by the Reverend J. R. Griffith, well loved and distinguished Methodist minister, who' served the small membership during those years the building of a House of Worship was contemplated. It was some years later to the Dedication, before the Church was financially able to secure all its requirements. The organ was. purchased, and the Bell, which was hung in the Belfrey Saturday, March 30, 1895. j 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.
