White, Luray Oak Shade _ Cong. To Buy St. Mark*8 Church The Rev. Robert E. Lee, pastor of the Little Fork Methodist Charge, announced last week that the Oak Shade congregation of the Charge is taking steps to purchase St. Mark’s Episcopal Chapel in Rixeyville. St. Mark’s Chapel is now under the jurisdiction of St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church in Culpeper and the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia. - * St. Mark”s Chapel was built in 18% on land donated by John Smith, storekeeper and postmaster at the time. It is the only church ever built in Rixeyville. The Methodist congregation formerly worshipped in historic Little Fork Episcopal Church, commonly called Oak Shade. It is reported that an organized Oietnoaisr congregation nas Functioned in the older building for more than eighty years. A fire in Little Fork Church In the fall of 1955 forced the Methodists to discontinue services there. During the winter months services were held across Ac road from Little Fori at the home of Mrs. Leonard Carder. Last March the Methodists moved by invitation to the Chapel in Rixeyville. Since moving" to Rixeyville, the Methodists have seen a marked increase in membership and attendance. It is reported that new members have been reernved for the first time in three years. Attendance has doubled and tripled within a year. The budget of the church is now three time* what it was> four years ago. The Oak $hade congregation contributes monthly to the payment of a $17,000 parsonage for the Charge. The congregation is now participating in a District “No Silent Pulpit” program, which. with the help of guest lav speakers from Culpeper and vicinity* enables them to have a service eyerv Sundov. the first and third Sundays at 11:00 a. m. and the second and fourth Sundavt at 2:30 p. m.

Summerfield said today. Mr. Summerfield said he was calling this to public attention because many patrons apparently are not aware they no longer need to take time and trouble to put this notation on their parcel post. A recent rule change, which has already won wide public favor, abolished the requirement that sealed parcel post packages contain the notation or be subject to higher postage rat's. This means, Mr. Summerfield pointed out, that no parcel post» package, however it is sent, needs' to contain the “may be opened” inscription. (Unsealed parcels never have been subject to the requirement.) ■ « Under previous rules, if the patron sealed the parcel post package and did not indicate that it could be opened for' postaT inspection, it was subject to a higher first-class postage Assessment, c o 11 e c t i ble from either sender or addressee. Thus, the new rule not only cuts out a bothersome bit of red tape, but it prevents mailers from becoming charged with unexpected high postage fees because of a small oversight, Mr. Summerfield noted. H. D. Supply of Polio Vaccine Discontinued State Department of Health has notified each local Health Department that the supply of Polio vaccine for use in the 0 through 19 year age group and expectant mothers will be discontinued after a final allotment, based on population. Page-Rappahannock-Shenandoah Warren Health Departments will have no polio vaccine for distribution after this supply has been used. No polio Vaccine will be given at Health Department Clinics. ,!.m — ±m The Rappahannock Hunt starts the Virginia ppint-to point season on March 2nd at 12:30 P.

RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia TELEPHONE: WASHINGTON 2851 JOHN M. BARBER JR. and ROBERT E. MANY Editors and Publishers Entered m Second Class Mail at the Post Office at Washington, Va. -SUBSCRIPTION (in advance) 12.00 PER YEAR ' 1 LETTER TO THE EDITOR To the Citizens of Rappahannock County. It’s been rumors going around th^t everyone that owns an autotnobile will have to pay $10 on a county tag. I know that other counties have been paying $2 or$3 ior county tags but with no public work or good paying jobs in the county-why should the tags be so much higher than other counties? ‘ Why don’t we have a drug store or a doctor or a dentist, a bus line ■better roads and I heard that a company wanted to build a factory around here, but why?? Most of the people in the county have to go our of the county to make a decent living. Under the poor school conditions we have here a new school is what we need, but I don”t think it should be put before just 5 or6 people to decide. It should be a county vote. Also I think every parent wants the best for their child ren. I think every parent woud rather donate some money toward the school fund instead of taking it this way, because a lot of people have children and don’t have cars and vice-versa. Another thing 1 think the pupils need a change as well as the teachers. A good education is awfully important, but the teachers should encourage the children more to come to school, instead of telling them that they don’t try and that they should quit and join a circus or get a job. I know the teachers have a hard tough job, but the children have an awful lot to put up with also. A Tax Payer and Parent. February 7, 1957 The Editors The Rappahannock News Washington, Va. Dear Sirs: As President of the Rappahannock County High School Parent-Teachers Association, 1 WILL YOU HELP GET A DENTIST??? I would like to see a dentist open an office in Rappa bannock County.

Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Mahoney and four daughters were Sunday guests of Mrs. Joe Woodard in Amissville, Va. . Members of the Boy Scout Committee and of Troop 125 attended a Round Table Meeting Wednesday night at the Baptist Church in - Washington, Va. REPORT OF THE CITIZENS COMMITTEE ON SCHOOLS to the BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY Continued from Last Week ITEM 7. “The advisability of present construction due to existing •'onditions—recommendations of state officials as to present action by Vxralities where need exists." It is probable that existing school conditions may be changed or clarified before completion of the above program. ITEM 8. “The possibility of raising additional taxes for the benefit of schools rather than arbitrarily placing an increased tax on the lands if the county” We recommend ^n annual vehicle license tax of $10,00 each on every automobile, pick-up truck and truck which carries a state license tag and which is owned and operated in Rappahannock County. Funds derived from this tax would go into our General Fund and a like amount would be set aside for the benefit of the above school program. Two sources of ^information were used in arriving at our estimate of the total number of sueh vehicles in Rappahannock County. From the lists of assessed personal property, we found this total to be 1,389. From the registration lists furnished by the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles, we found 1,870. We suggest that this discrepancy be investigated. Using the arbitrarary figure of 1,500 vehicles, we derive revenue as follow: 1,500 vehicles at $10.00 each _*... $15,000.00 Less est. manufacture and administrative cost, 75c each_ 1,125. 00 Net _ $13,875.00 inis revenue would take care ot additional expenses outlined below: Approximate additional costs of paying for and operating the above mentioned new high school unit: Janitor __—. $1,400.00 Insurance..—---—--- 1,000.00 Fuel .....„..... 800.00 Interest on La tarary Loan —,---— .:- 3,000.00 Loan Installment ---—..—.—.- 3.300.00 2 Bus Drivers ....---------- 1,530.00 Operation of 2 Busses -,—..—--- 1,000.00 Building Maintenance ----- 1,500.00 , Total _ $13,530.00 We further recommend that a ten-cent (10c) levy be retained in our local tax structure for the improvement of salaries of qualified teachers. It will be noted that neighboring counties have already taken steps in this, direction. The 10c levy would give a $100.00 a year salary increase to the'qualified teachers now in the county’. It should be further noted _ that, of the present 44 teachers in all Rappahannock schools, 6 do not possess certificates. COMMITTEE COMMENT: Of every tax dollar collected in the United States, approximately 75 cents goes to the Federal Government, leaving only 25 cents to be divided between the states and localities. Unless the trend for more and more federal services is reversed, the states and localities w'ill have even less to spend as they see fit in the future. A vehicle tax will raise local funds to be spent locally. Without a vehicle tax, the additional expenses in Item 8, above, would mean an increase of 34 cfcnts in our present rate of tax on real estate and personal property. It should be noted that, at the present, 85% of all • tax- money collected in Rappahannock County is used for the benefit -of our schools.' The Committee recommends the vehicle tax for two reasons: 1. To prevent'an increase in the already burdensome load carried by real setate; 2. To broaden our tax structure so more of our citizens will feel an active interest in our school system. The building program outlined above is predicted on the passage of thC vehicle license tax. If this can not be done, and an additional load . is placed on the real estate in the county, the Committee withdraws its recommendation for the construction of a new school building.

Anyone wishing to learn skills envolved in making a dress are invited to come to the second meeting on Friday, Feb. 15th at the home of Mrs. Ruby Cannon. To the study on house and daytime dresses by the Household Economics and Clothing Section of U.S.D.A.' have been added figures on children’s dresses. When made by an experienced seamstress, the monev savings in dollars and time cost in hours were "•Yen: House dress (size 14) $1.12 1.5 cony of ready to wear Made from commercial patterns .61 2.0 Day-time dress ’ 4.91 2?. 9 (size 14) Child’s dress (size 8) 2.13 1.9 If you can make a day-time dress in 2 hrs., 54 min., it would be the best investment of time. The child’s dress of the $$2.99 to $5.99 price range in ready to-wear would be the next best use of time. The use of' one’s time in making a house dress is very doubtful, at a saving of 61c when made in two hours, except as a means of learning to use patterns and equipment, and to gain skills which can be used on better dresses and perhaps tailored garments.

Critzer • Janurary 28, 1956 CHATS ABOUT CHICKENS Prepare Non For Next Fall’s Egg Profits In the automobile industrey, the planning for 1957 start' ed years ago. Long before 1957, designers, engineers, stylists, and other experts started planning the 1957 models. Every nut and bolt got attention. Once these have made all their plans and the car goes into production and there’s not much they can do. If the customers don’t like the looks of the car, they can’t very well change it, for it takes years to make plans and fool around with the dies and such. About all that can be done is to take out a few of the minor bugs. Poultry raising is a lot the same way. Right now, you’re thinking of your next year’s laying flock ... or should be. You’re getting ready for your baby chicks. The success of your fock next year depends on what you do between now and next fall, for most of your profits depend on how you grow, your chicks. Once you get the birds in the laying house, you can make only minor adjustments. Your situation is the same asthat of the automobile maker. What you do in preparation will reflect itself in your success. Right now, you should be getting ready for baby chicks. On most farms the work load isn’t quite so heavy now. That means you might have time now to clean out the brooder house. And Clean it well. A few bugs hanging around can get into the chicks and hurt them badly enough to cost you extra eggs next fall. | Clean out the house with lye water, or any disinfectant recommended for the purpose. Get is spanking clean for the little ones. .After you have it clean, move it to a new location. * Most broode^ houses are portable. I don’t mean you can carry them on your back but you can move them with your tractor. Movipg the brooder house means you leave a lot of bugs behind. To make sure you don’t move the house on top of a pile of bugs, though, move it to ground on which chickens haven’t been brooded for two years. Two years is time enough for practically all the bugs to have died natural deaths. , [ ' ! v Plan your range, too. Many poultrymen use their brooder houses for range shelters. So, tote the brooder house close , to a clean range . .. again where you haven't had checkens for a couple pf years. Plan on raising a clean flock . . . especially on the inside they should be clean already. Bugs that get into the chickens while they are growing will often hurt egg production after they get in the house. After they’re in the house, there’s! not much you can do. Preparation of the flock is the key td profit. Order your Hy-Line Layer’s, today, from—. • Heatwole Hatchery of Orange, Inc. Box 893, Orange, Virginia W. Stewart Miller, Manager
