RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY HORNING At Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia TELEPHONE: WASHINGTON 2851 JOHN M. BARBER JR. and ROBERT E. MANY Editors and Publishers Entered as Second Class Mail at the Post Office at Washington, Vs. ^SUBSCRIPTION (in advance) ...»2.00 PER YEAR LETTER TO THE EDITOR: October 20, 1956 ~~ I have read Mrs. Moffett’s article on how President Eisenhower gives away all the government’s natural resources to large Republican corporations. For the sake of the intellectually underpinveleged, I will explain just how this works. Well, large corporations have tens of thousands of stockholders or owners—sometimes hundreds of thousands. So you can see that it is pretty hard to get all of these owners to be Republicans. Now President Eisenhower has all the deeds to the country’s natural resourses. He keeps them in a desk drawiy, like, green stamps. Naturally, when a corporation gets to be 100% Republican, they become entitled to so many green stamps, so they get them from Ike. Then they take them around to the Treasury and cash them in. The Defnocratic Congress and the Democratic Supreme Court don’t know anything about this because they are too bus>' trying to put Democratic corporations' together, so that they can get green stamps too. So you can see that it was a good thing for Mrs. Moffett to show how wicked those Republicans are. She eforgot to mention, though, that some fifty odd of Harry Truman’s friends were sent to the penitentiary. ThejTgot a little mixed up between green stamps and green backs, I guess. Alfred M. Hickman (I really think that we, who voted for Ike, are entitled to this reply. A. M. H. County Home I ^Er-ctoEtfrdtios! Schedule for Next Week: Thursday, Nov. 1, Radio at 12 noon.

Groceries still take about 25c of every’ dollar in our ftnmtry. According to the figures from a U. S. D. A. survey in Spring 1955 urban families spent $30.00 a week for food while farm families only $17.00. So there is still much we can save by hdme production of our food. W. S. C. S Bake Sale The W. S.

CARPENTER MOTOR COMPANY Phone: 2511 Madison, VaDealer’s Licenses No. 765 MAKING "JACK” IN THE COW BUSINESS By W. H. LYNE, County Agent I believe it was a movie producer by the name of Hitchcock who, .when having someone say “all work and no play makes Johnnie a dull boy” replied: “Yes, but it makes Jack!” Certainly most of us could well work our brains, muscles, or what ever our talents may be. a bit more if we are to become better off in the cow business. For instance, lets take another look at last week's calf sale results. How about each consignor taking another look at his calf sale check stub and pondering a while over what happened when insofar as the goings-on his farm for the past twelve months are concerned-especially the things which did or did not happen over which he had or could have had, some direct control. Before proceeding further let me quote you some quotes. M r. Frank Glass gave me a couple of davs aeo that I got quite a bang rut of and which might well be '•mnloved here: “Where are we ''.waning to go?” Might we add: In fV Cow Business?” Another w-s" “If vou don’t watch oul yon w-il have your tail in the crack” which is an Arkansas expression meaning to be in trouble. Ever see ’ cat in that shape? If ut ponder, but don’t see, or do, then many more of us will be “towarding to go to get our tails in a crack” whether we like it or not and it’ll take more than a Democratic Administration, more than a Republican Administration, and more than a. States Righter’s Administration to get you turned around. or. if your tail is alreadv in a crack, to get it out. Actually some people yet believe that this business of carrying ones own load still can do more towards getting vour tail out of a crack or towarding to go in the right direction than anything else one can do. How do you feel about it? Of course at our calf sale there was $33.75 per head difference irv value in the average sized calf sim-. ply because a heifer was bom a she instead of a he. You may want to take off “towarding to go” towards njaking all calves come male but then our friend, Curtis Campbell says he would be opposed to learning or finding out how to do it. You mav find your tail in a crack too, but I’ll wager you’d have your jack made if you could discover how to control the sex of a cow’s or bull’s offspring. Tlut then.... It might be easier and you might make more iact if von consider setting your goals to maintain the high oinlitv and production your herd mav already have, or for:(l) having a 90^ or better calf crop, (2) having all calves born before th>* end of March, f .V)e1iminating calves being reiected because of improper alteration, and (4) raising the aualitv and growth rate of vonr calf crop. ' The average consignment at our calf sale on Oct. 16th was about 24 head of calves representing approximately 14 steer and ID heifer calves. If you were just an average producer these calves would have fetched you $2243.06 less certain marketing and promotional fees as well as hauling costs. Also you would have had to take one calf back home either because it was improperly castrated, physically defective in some wav. or just plain common in grade. Can vou be content to remain average? That of course depends upon vour attitude, wants and inhibitions. Mv guess is, if you are average “vo.i’ll soon be towarding to go” and. if you’re below average, your tail is alreadv in a crack that is jvpchf'ng mightv hard and you may awaken one of these days without any tail at all. That could be tough Old timers to say “let the tail go along with the hide if you don’t want any trouble." When we look further at the calf sale records we see that there was a decided spread in price between grades of the same sex. For instance Fancy steers fetched $3.12 more per hundred weight than choice grade steers, * Choice were $229 above Goods, and Goods $2.47 above Medium grade steers. Insofar as heifers were concerned the average of Fancy and Choice grades was $3.46 per hundred weight above the average price of goods and Mediums! Grade in feeder cattle means the same as type does in breeding cattle. Grade wise the calves sold proved to be 15% fancy, 38% choice. 34% good and 129? medium. Again it might be well for you to compare grade of your lot sold. ! could say that Mr.X’s averaged $xxx.xx per head with umptee per cent Fancy and Choice while Mr. Z’s brought only an average of twirmp dollars and only tutation % grade in the upper brackets. Mur fh-n nrrfir dorrs usually separate themselves anyway and up pops another quote “You can fool some people, some of the time but not all people all the time” But then nohcdv wants to fool anybody.

Two Count; Postmasters Attend National Association Of Postmasters In New York That some business was transr acted at the National Association qf Postmasters of the United States convention at Hotel New York.; last week is a fact, but committee reports, addresses by various dignataries and elections were not the only activities. Host postmaster, Mr. Robert H, Schaffer of New York city left nothing undone to show everyone a good time. An ice breaker in the form of! a Hawaiian party in -honor of the national president, John Fixa of San FranV cisco, was the first social of the convention, Sunday evening. Old friendships wertv renewed and new awes made. “Miss New York Postoffice was chosen in a closely run beauty contest, where each contestant was so lovely that the judges were completely stymied for a while. His Eminence Francis Cardinal Spellman of New Yark opened the business' session Monday morning followed by reports of national office and addresses by Postmaster General Arthur Summerfield, his assistant, Eugene Lyons and deputy, * Maurice Stans. Some postmasters took a sightseeing trip to United Nations building and China Town, some went to Radio City Music Hall where the famed Rockettes gave their Autumn show’ with color, music and Ballet. The Coca Cola company was host,to a variety show Monday evening, 'featuring such talent as - Dorothv Sarnoff (of The King r and I, fame) Raul and Eva Reyes ’ and, others. They were all so well received that they were forced to give encore after encore. Many groups gave small private parties following the evening programs. I." making the nights gay with singing and dancing. All ladies at the convention were guests at a luncheon at Hotel Statler, after which the newest fashions for spring and resort wear were shown. What the well dressed resort dweller will wear is probably quite different from what postmasters and wives of postmasters will wear but it was fun anyway. The Couture group of New York Dress Institute gave the show with top models often seen in high fashion magazines. All ticket# for Pajama Game and Damn Yankees, Broadway plays were procured for the postmasters and everyone went to one of the plays Wednesday afternoon. Broadway musical stars and Emmett Kelly, the great clown were on the Wednesday evening program, after which a grand march and ball for Postmaster General Summerfield followed. Ray Middleton. Lois Hunt Felix Knight. Jack Russell. Staphnnie Augustine, Maria Neglia (violinist) the Ralph Hunter singers were the stars who brought an outstanding p’-ogram of entertainment from Broadway plays. Between the planned programs were plenty of time to eat lunch at the Waldorf Astoria, see a new movie, dine at the Taft hotel and enjov Vincent Lopez and his romantic orchestra. Night clubs and fern’ boat rides, shopping, visiting, subway rides, a flower show at the Statler. to mention only a few of the diversions enjoyed between sessions, used all the time until Thursday evening when the big banquet was given at the plush 4 WSHOOTING MATCH AT GREELEY’S MOUNTAIN STORE ON FRIDAY OCTOBER 26,1956 16 and 12 Gauge Guns 7:00 P.M.

FUR TRAPPING (C*at!*«*4 from Pag* 4) ing out”! Perhaps the mos: enthusiastic group of trappers in this vicinity, certainly the best remembered were, Bob and Paul Massle, Jack Stuart, French Carter, ] H. Dudley and Joe Keyser. It was to them that the Fur Dealers from Front Royal, Montrell and Sager first came when they started out to buy furs. It is said their bargaining was unique . . . something never to be forgotten. But|; “The Big Six”, were not the tjnly ones who sold furs in Rappalfanock. There was a trapper on I nearly every farm and after visiting “The Big Dealers”, Montrell; and Sager would comb the County for its fur . . . rabbit skids included.

Mr. Gooden served in this capacity in 1955, and, according to Mr. Hartman, was re-appointed because of his interest, hard work, and sympathy with the cause of the Tuberculosis Association. Mr. Hartman asserted that he feels sure Mr. Gooden will do an outstanding job in conducting the Seal Sales Campaign in view of his past service and experience. .Upon, accepting the Chairmanship, Mr. Gooden declared: “Acceptance of the 1956 Seal Sale Chairmanship represents the second opportunity that I have had to serve the local Association. The splendid support or our local people last year gives me a great deal of confidence in leading this campaign again during 1956. "I should like to extend a warm welcome to the people of Rappahannock County in uniting with the Front Roval-Warren County Tuberculosis Association. You can be sure that we in Warren Countv are ready to serve and work with you and for you toward the common goal of victory over the dreaded disease of Tuberculosis. “As our citizens know from past work, the purpose of a Tuberculosis Association is to carry on an effective program to aid in meeting communin' needs necessary for the control of Tuberculosis. These needs are met thru the annual sale of Christmas Seals. “Tuberculosis is still the nation’s most serious infectious disease. In 1955, Tuberculosis killed 45 people per dav. In Warren County, we have 58 persons with TB, 7 suspected of having the disease, and 99 have- been in direct contact and are being checked. Although a great deal of progress has been made, we still have a big job to do. Tuberculosis is serious and the support of every citizen in this community is needed. The success of the 1956 Christmas Seal Sale Campaign can be made possible only thru the generosity and thoughtfulness of our citizens who purchase and use these seals.

By far the heaviest concentration is known to occur in the counties borderipg West Virginia from Bath County northward through Frederick County. The 1956 aerial survey indicated no particular increase in range of infection over past years, but was noteworthy because it failed to show additional new infections in the areas in Bath, and Highland counties where heavy infection was noted in 1953 and 1954. TTiis failure to note new infections following repeated flights over suspect areas in these two counties gives us hope for the eventual success of the control program which has been in progress in Virginia during the past two years. Fiftysix hours were spent in the air and portions of 19 counties were surveyed. Areas of known heavy infection were surveyed twice and in one case three time during July and August. Thirty-one infection spots were _ y i*o7-i*sr ANNOUNCING THE AGENCY FO$ Phillips 66 Fuel Oil — Gas Complete Farm Lubrication Specializing in SERVICE and QUALITY Call or See W. A.

Ph. 9000 Culpeper, Va. jBPPOBBOOOPOBPOOOPOOOOPSX located during 1956. Over half (60%) of these areas involved only a sihgle wilting tree, indicating infection probably took place during the early spring of this year. The remainder of the spots had been active from two to five years before their discovery; The ability of .the disease to spread rapidly on occasional favorable years, as it did in 1956, indicates its potential seriousness in Virginia. We know that in Wisconsin, for instance, where the disease was first recognized in 1942 and where it had been active for probably 40 years, that the disease is so widespread that control operations have been abandoned. Investigators in that state have reported that in four counties where damage is particularly severe, almost 4% percent of the oak type forest is killed in a 7 to 10 year period. (Continued from Pag* 5) myself, “That bird just dipped his bill a little too often in some moonshiner’s mash barrel. An old hunter out in Highland County told me the reason these birds killed themselves was because of the thousands of hawks that migrate about this time of the year. I have been told that these hawks migrate from Canada, and winter in Western Texas. The color of these birds, is a light gray and about the size of a croiv and; I have on several occasions seen thousands in , one bunch, going South. j They fly at ap elevation of i several thousand feet, and I have only seen them while being ort the top j of some high mountain.

Weekly Farm Price Outlook CORN Corn movement has flowed in Virginia, and prices should hold steady to maybe some strength. Richmond dropped a penny during last week to $1.24; Norfolk down 3c to $1.25 to $1.28; Petersburg, $1.29; Northern Neck down 3c to $1,23; and the Valley is still at $1.50 to $1.55 ;for 14% moisture com. TURKEYS There’s nothing that looks like any big change in the next couple of weeks. Thanksgiving committments are probably already largely made but those prices won’t be reflected until holiday birds begin to move. Slaughter figures have pulled out of their recent short slump to start upward again. Storage is 24% above a year ago, 42% above the 5 year average. i In the Valley, heavy hens last week were 26Va to 27c; toms, 24 to 24%c; broiler-fryers were 2626V&C. I Virginia has 14% turkeys this year the most on record, and U.S. production is up 16% oni all turkey* ! ■ \ - EGGS „ There are several factors that add a little encouragement to the egg pictufe, holding up hopes for at least steadiness if not a little strength j somewhere along the line. | ft* Cooler weather will make a denf in production, "the colder it. is the bigger the dent.

Under the supervision of the United States Auto Club and the Federation Internationale de Automobile, each of these two *57 Fords traveled 50,000 miles in less than 20 days. Ford No. 1 averaged 108.16 mph for the. entire run... Ford No. 2, over 107 mph. These averages include time for all pit stops. In all, the *57 Ford smashed 458 national and international records. This test was run on the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah ... it was the longest left turn in history. A car, like a man, is known by its deeds; not words. That is why, we at Ford, despite our confidence in our ’57 cars, let their deeds of accomplishment speak for themselves. Therefore, we engaged an independent engineering organization to test our ’57 cars more thoroughly than any other cars have ever been tested before —in this country or abroad. We provided them with ’5‘TFords—cars identical with those now offered by Ford Dealers. The rest we left np to them. Here is what they did: They took these cars to the Salt Flats at Bonneville, Utah. Here, twelve of the world’s greatest drivers took over. In relays they drove these cars night and day for a distance greater than twice around the world ... a distance equal to 5 years of normal driving. Not in all history has a man-built machine traveled so far in so short a time— by land or seal But this was not a test of speed-but of endurance of the “Inner Ford.” A trial to take the measure of Thunderbird Yblock V-8 power without qualification of any kind. A test of running gear-of brakes, of materials in body and chassis. Of steering and roadability, yes, and comfort, too! ^ A test, indeed, such as no other cars have ever undergone, let alone successfully concluded. Surely they have told you, in decisive terms, that they are worth more when you buy ... and when you sell! Your Ford Dealer will gladly place at your disposal the new kind of Ford that means a new kind of value for your carbuying dollar—the greatest the world has ever seen.
