Davis Many people have asked me if I was “rigged” on the TV quiz jsliow “Big Surprise”, and my answer .is still “no.” The Congressional investigation of quiz show rigging has cast doubt an the honest contestant as well as the dishonest; but one thing is to be remembered—if a contestant was figged, he or she took the top windings. My reward for six weeks of emotional drain was $9,000 out of $100,000', or less than 10 per cent (if the top money received by many, i Of course there are two types of quiz shows; first, is the show with two contestants, each competing against the other ,and second, is the solo quiz with but one contestant competing against no one.

Rappahannock News Celebrates Birthday The Rappahannock News had its origin in Washington, Virginia, under the ownership of Mis sLucy Catherine Bowie and Bruce Bowie, in the building on the comer a— which belonged to L. S. Morean, with equipment bought from a Scttsville, Va. newspaper which they hauled in a car trailer a piece at a time. In 1950 the Bowies bought a lot from H. C. Geest and construction of the present building began and was completed fn 1951. Newer equipment was gradually added. 1 o get out the first paper, Miss Bowie, Mr, Bowie and Jack Barber, who was employed by them, worked from 8 a.m. til midnite Monday and Tuesday and all day and all night Wednesday, to get home Thursday evening about 9. They were fortunate to sufficiently recover to get back to work on Saturday. At that time 12 point machine type was the largest they had and anything larger had to be set up by hand. In those days Mr. Willie Compton, a retired printer, and Mr. AUie Slaughter were fre- > < quent visitors at the News office, a stint in the Air Force, retumto the office after his tenure of service, later going to Orange, Va. where he is tiow associated with the Orange Review, Note, He comes back and helps us occasionally and worked with us on this anniversary edition. Miss Bowie sold her interest in the paper to her brother and in 1956 Mr. B. C. Burke, Jr. of Madison and the owner oi the ' Madison County Eagle, purchased '’the Rappahannock News. In the ten years of its existence, those who have worked at the paper are Phyllis Vemer, Mrs. D. D. Miller, Billy Worth, Giles Miller (fram Bealton}, Mis.

Please feel free to drop in and chat with us. YOUR CONGRESSMAN REPORTS Bf Rep. Burr P. Harrison • Washington—As this r e a c h e s print, we shall be moving through our second week of public hearings here on administrative problems arising under the disability benefit provisions of ihe Social Security Act. In this study, dry statistics and intricate organizational flow of charts come into contrast with the grim and pathos-touched human hardship of physical disability. The mail purpose of the hearings before a subcommittee of which I happen to be doorman is to obtain information as to how the social security disability benefits program has been working out in the few yean it has been in operation. We want to know if the intent of Congress in writing this program into law is being carried out—are the provisions of the law being applied fairly to the hundreds of thousands of citizens who are applying for benefits? . . The testimony and questioning, it is hoped, also will suggest ways in which the processing time and red tape could be reduced, in the interests both of the claimant and taxpayers generally. We have heard officials of the Social Security Administration and the General Accounting Office. We also have had testimony from State officials concerned with disability and vocational rdiabilitation matters. In addition, we have had public witnesses, including representatives of the medical profession, vocational retraining specialists, labor unions and other groups. With the assistance of the General . Accounting Office, the sub committee also will study a sampline of individual cases. Two things which the subcommittee will not do Should be emphasized: 1. It will not consider or recommend specific legislative proposals, because its authority is limited to the observation of administration of existing law; 2. It will not act as a reviewing agency with respect to individual claims which have been turned down, because it has not power to overrule determinations made by the original and appellate jurisdictions established by law. iln due course, the subcommittee will report its tfindingp to the Committee on Ways and Means, the legislative responsibility of which includes the Social Security Act. If the findings of the subcommittee indicate that consideration/ should be given to changes in the law, the matter may receive further action in the fuH committee. On the other hand, it may be that the disability benefits program could be made a smoother and more equitable operation by procedural changes which the Social Security Arministration could work out cooperatively with the States. When the disability benefits were enacted five years ago.'providing that a person covered by socal security could begin receiving payments at age 50 if totally and permanently disabled, the Congress determined that the States should have a major responsibility_that of deciding whether a claimant should or should not be considered so disabled as to be unfit for any substantially gainful employment. It was .determined further, that that State vocational rehabilitation agencies should be brought into the program to assist in judging each case against (the strict standards of the law. There are certain appeals procedures available to the claimant who has been turned down, includ TO THE PEOPLE OF RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY When in Culpeper visit us at our new location on the Brandy Road just past the Fair grounds on Rte. 16t29, Our Bert Wishes to the Rappahannock News on their 10th Anniversary. Bor and Marie Ftotdur, Manager* and Owner* ' / Machine Sales Authorised Singer Dealer Culpeper, Va. Phone VA P-9042 ing a final recourse to the tedenu courts. At every level, however, a case must be tested against the law, and it may well be that there are many individuals who have been forced to give up their employment on accou.rt of disability who cannot understand why they are not entitled to disability benefits under social security. The law doesn’t say, however,, that the benefits will be paid if one no longer can follow hs usual occupation because of disability. If one retains the capacity t^ do some other kind of work, even at much specialists believe one could be retained to earn a living at something never tried before, the claim for benefits must be rejected under present law. In any case, benefits do not become payable until age 50. Our subcommittee may not concern itself wttih proposals to make the law less strict. It must follow its instructions to see that the law as now written, is being carried out as effectively and economically as possible. The testimony before our committee indicates, however, that the coming session of Congress will be likely to give serious consideration to a change in the present requirements that a disabled person be 50 years of age or older, before he may receive payments. This limitation was written in to insure the solvency of the disability insurance fund, from which the payments come, but the information furnished the subcommittee is to the effect that this age requirement could be reduced substantially, or perhaps even eliminated, at existing social security ta* progressions. LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor, Congratulations on the newspaper’s tenth birthday. I suppose you’d say I was present when the baby’s bottom was spanked. In remembering Vol. I, No. I: that first issue of Rappahannock News was a dilly, all right! Jack Barber, my brother and I put in many long hour’s work—and loved it. Any fanner in Rappahannock understands when the statement is made: sure it was hard work, but rewarding. We worked hard and we were happy. We had, in superabundance, the good wishes and encouragement of the people of the county. They found that people need a newspaper, whether to speak for them, with them, or some times against them; nevertheless, the paper should be there. As long as a newspaper remembers that its sole purpose is to serve the community, it justifies its existence and the printer can earn his living just as any other public servant. I shall always be interested in Rappahannock and its newspaper. Please accept this as a sincere wish for many years of good living, health and happiness and many happy returns of the birthday.

Thomas & Settle Thomas S. Settle, 78, retired secretary and legal adviser for the National Capital Park and Planning Commission and tireless civit worker, died Tuesday, Novembei 3, at his home m Washington, D. C. He retired from the Hanning Commission in! 1951 after 20 yean of service. Mr. Settle said his goal had been “to "make the National Capital an ideal city.” Among the legislation and programs which Mr. Settle fought for were construction of the George Washington Memorial Parkway, creation of the District Recreation Board and passage of the Alley Dwelling Authority Act and urban redevelopment legislation. Although gifted with a rare tact he was extremely stubborn in fighting for his objectives. Born of Virginia parents in Fort Benton, Mont., Mr. Settle moved with hjs lawyer father to Washington, Va. at an early age. He attended the University of Virginia, receiving his bachelor of arts degree from that institution. He taught school in his spare time to help pay for his education. After graduation Mr. Settle received a Rockefeller Foundation grant to work for better schools and roads in Virginia. In 1913, the National recreational Association asked him to become its secretary. He stayed on this job for 14 years, during which he stumped the country, visiting city after cky to persuade them to set up recreation departments and get youngsters off the street and into playgrounds. Learning of his wide experience in recreation and community development, the Chandler of Commerce oi Warrington, D. C., now the Metropolitan Washington Board of Trade, made him chairman of its Parks and Streets Committee. I' His record! and work for this committee came to the attention of the planning commission. At the commissions request, he took a special competitive examination for the position of commission secretary. Mr. Settle leaves his wife, Loraine of Washington, D. C. as his only immediate survivor. Services were held at noon, October 5th at the Hines Funeral ,Hme in Washington, D. C. and burial was in Culpeper, Va.

What’s Left Of The Editor 4-H Accomplishments ' During the last ten years, Rappahannockans have seen an increase of 4-H participation from less than .200 club members, both boys and girls, to 295 club members enrolled this year. A larger increase of boys attending club meetings has been noticed in .this time, with less than seventy club members enrolled in 1949, to well over one hundred and forty boys now enrolled. The constant winnings of the Updike Brothers and Jack Sisk at out-of-county 4-H events has been the needed incentive for other boys in the county to take pride in their projects and exhibit them at these same shows and sales. This year new comers to the “show circuit” included Harrison Powers, John O’Ban non, Milton Gore, Billy Sisk and Anna Catherine Sites. One new hog show and sale, held in Front Royal last August, was added to the list of 4-H shows. A local “Baby Beef show will be held next May in Front Royal, with three Rappahannock 4-H’ers ensigning their baby beeves to the War ren-Page-Rappahan nock Baby Beef Show and Sale. Many outstanding achievements and honors have been won over the past ten year period which certainly bears mentioning: In 1954 Newbill Miller was selected by the State 4-H Cldb Dept, to be one of the two Virginia Club Members representing the state at the North Carolina 4-H Short Course. Newbill was elected, also the same year, to the office of First VicePresident of the 1954 Virginia 4-H Short Course, an honor which very few club members in their 4-H careers achieve. In 1957, Glen Updike was selected to attend the National 4-H Congress in Chicago, from his winning record submitted to the State 4-H office on his achievements in his “Meat Animal Record.” In the summer of 1958, Rappahannock 4-H’ers were again put in the limelight, when Rod Regan was the State Public Speaking Contest winner, and Jack Sisk was the State Sheep Shearing Contest winner. Again, that same year, Jack Sisk placed third in the National Sheep Shearing Contest held in Chicago, helping to put Rappahannock 4-H’ers on the “map”. . This past June, the County 4-H Livestock Judging Team composed of Randall Updike, Francis Updike, Walter B. Kilby and Lyle Updike won the State Contest held at State Short Course. Randall and Francie Updike were the top scoring individuals on the county team as well as top sooring indviduals in the contest and earned themselves a place on the State 4-H Livestock Judging Team along with two cjub members from Clarke and Montgomery counties. These boys will compete at the Eastern National 4-H Judging Contest on November 14th held at Tanonium, Md. and at the National Contest in Chicago November 27th. Also this same year, Glen Updike was se.ected by the State 4-H Club Dept, to be one of the three 4-H 'ers representing Virginia to attend the opening of the new National 4-*H Center in Chevy Chase, Md. at the Annual 4-H National Conference. It goes without saying, that in order to have a successful 4-H program, the people in the county must be interested and willing to support such a program the interest of the club members is not enough! Ten years ago, Bruce and Lucy Katherine Bowie, then edi tors of the Rappahannock News, offered the dub members * money making project for their mdrvidual dubs by selling subscriptions to the News. Through this interest shown by the Rappakaaaock Newt, the overall interest in 4-H activities began to grow in the county. Today, as it was ten years ago, the Rappchamroct News is furthering their interest and support through their pictures and articles about 4-H members and 4-H events. The ‘Farm Bureau and the local Banks have also taken an active part in supporting die 4-H progiam. When funds were needed to send our 4-H “Sheep shearing champion” to Chicago, these organizations as well as people all over the county graciously contributed money which enabled our "County Boy ” to complete in this National Event. These concerns also sponsored our newly organized Honor Club at a banquet last spring honoring club members for their outstanding achievements. The many local businesses, stores and garages have showed their continued interest by also being eager to support the county 4-H program. The 4-H Leaders, helping with die individual clubs, parents and friends of club members have given much of their time in supporting something they truly believe in, “4-H Clubs , ofRappahannock County.” BEST WISHES to the RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS for 10 Years of Service to the County and Surrounding Communities.

If you use phenothizaine get them drenched at . least j30 days P^°r to lambing, otherwise the nervous system of the young may be affected. Keep ewes gaining from now on until lambing time.

Ten Years Of Home Demonstration Clubs The past ten year* have seen many changes taking place in both Home Demonstration and 4-H Club work. In 1949 there were 14 H. D. groups organized in the county. These have decreased to the present number of 6, however several of the dubs are combined so that most people are still served by the Extension Program. The six dubs functioning are Flint Hill, Sperryville, WoodvHle, Slate Mills Castleton and die A, and W. During 1959 die District Federation Chairman was Mrs. Barbara Gentry from Rappahannock. Also the 'H. D Clubs of the county were hostess for the District meeting held last April. During these years, topics of interest have been planned by the members for their programs. Not only have the dubs had training from agents, but members have been trained at county meetings and have given demonstrations for their clubs. In 4-H dubs there has been a steady increase in enrollment of girls during the past years. At present 149 girls are enrolled in nine clubs. This foil at the county council meeting there was a record attendance with all nine chibs being represented. This year eight girls had 16 entries in the Warren Coupty Fair and received 13 prizes. Brenda Nalls, Katherine Nalls, Jean Lfllard, Judy Kay Lillard, Virginia Bradford, Dana Snead, Rebecca Rector and Peachey Lyne were die exhibitors. This is a beginning for future years. - • j During 1954 Lelia Gentry won in die state contort in Room Improvement and received a trip to National Club Congress held each year in Chicago. - Camp attendance in the past years has increased. This year 34 boys and {iris attended 4-H camp. Leaders have played a big pari in helping the 4-H program. The year there are five full time leaders working with school and community groups. Others help with various events when called upon. However, there are several chibs that do not have adult leaders. The interest and support of the people in the county have been the real reasons for the growth in the program. The growth is not always seen in numbers but in results obtained. W.S.C.S.

Quiz Rigging Continued from pug* on* “Big Surprise" was the solo type of quiz show, and as yet has not been subjected to investigation by Congress, or the New York Grand Jury. When two contestants are required to answer the same questions in order to win, a fix is very simple; one contestant is given the 1 answers and the other is riot. In my program I was the only participant on the subject of George Washington. When I knew the answers I won. When I did not know the answer I lost. If the producers wanted the participant to win the top money, he or she wap asked questions they knew the contestant could answer. To this extent the show was controlled by the “feed back" method, that is, asking questions on the show that were previously asked during the warm-up session. Questions were “fed back" to me until I won $5,000, however, I answered the ten and twenty thousand dollar questions on my own and lost on the $50,000. I do not believe that either Jack Barry or Mike Wallace, the two Masters of Ceremony, participated in any fix on the “Big Surprise”. It was not the type of show for a fix. However, it is apparent form the recent investigations into the quiz show scandals that Barry was very active in the rigging of “21”. It is also apparent that Shirley Bernstein, associate producer of the $64,000 Challenge, participated in a “fix” for that show. Miss Bernstein was also associate producer of th “Big Surprise”, and the person who prepared my - questions. She in no way helped me with the answers and whether she helped oth ere who in no W*y 6bmpeted with me, I don’t know.If she or any of her associates did give answers to any participants on the “Big Surprise, I fail to see how that in any way hurt or caused me tow-in less.

Strout Realty Opens Branch Office A new branch office of Strout Realty, Inc. has been opended at Criglersville it is announced this week. ! The Strout organization began operations in 1900 and has since extended its activities to a nationwide scope with hundreds of offices from coast to coast. Through 1957, 133,304'sales have been made. The new branch office is a move to expand Strout’s well known service to Madison, Greene, Culpeper and Rappahannock counties and will be an addition to the service already being given to Madison and vicinity. The company’s new representative at Criglersville is Roy Ramsdell who has been selling country properties throughout Northern Virginia for the past five years. Mr. Ramsdell, who is also president of Ramsdell Associates, Inc., promises to make the resources of the famous Strout Organization available to any resident of this area desiring to list property for sale through their facilities. A descriptive write-up of this section and environs, with descriptions of farms, homes, resort properties and highway businesses for sale appears,j-egularly in die big Strout Catalog which has nationwide distribution i . Remnant Shop Needed j On November 30 it will be two years since the Amissville Remnant Shop closed it’s doors, because it was too successful! “Believe k or not”, that is the truth, in spite of the fact that it is generally believed that nothing really succeeds in Rappahannock, except fanning and orchards. Mrs. L. B. Stuart and Mrs. Stanish Riley, after nineteen months of success felt that they had either to expand or to close. They decided that in justice to themselves and to their homes that they should close, much to the regret of a host of supporters. It was hoped by their many patrons, that the business would be taken over by someone as interested as Mrs. Stuart and Mrs. Riley, (they realized however, that would be almost impossible) and that the business would grow, be not only helpful to the people of Rappahannock, but to the neighboring counties. The citizens of Rappahannock have had two years to think about it, but to date no one seems sufficienty interested in building on a successful business, to hang out a sign reading “Remnant Shop.’’, It is 1 believed by many that a good business opportunity is wait- ; ing for someone. Mrs. Riley keeps a limited supply of goods at her home at Amissville. t •Forest Grove Church Moves Along Practically all of the churches in Rappahannock County of all denominations, white and colored, irt recent years have been engaged in building programs and expanded missionary work.

Davis St Culpeper, Va. who does not feel a kinship for the little country church at the edge of the forest ? Perhaps it’s story, if we look back far enough, is the story of them all_.the story of the universal church. Forest Grove Church has been constantly tin the move since it was organized October 24, 1886. The building was small at that time, but it’s membership grew and in 1907 they decided to add to it_ keeping all of the old_because they loved it. The late John S., Hughes of “Laurel Hill” donated the lumber, and men of the church went into the forest, cut the timber, sawed it and built their church. It has served the community in many ways ever since. Last year the members of Firest Grove again decided they needed more space to “carry on the Lord’s work.” They took a page from their Church History._...and as in 1907 the men of the church went into the forest, cut and sawed tir-her that had been given them and started to build. This time the women of the church served hot lunches every day to their “Lumberjacks” and fhe work was accomplished in a' remarkably short time, Work on the new addition is well under way at this time and interest and enthusiasm is growing. Completed, it will be two stories, contain 12 rooms, and office, kitchen and two rest rooms: the to a ha It would be impossible to give names of all who have helped make Forest Grove Church such to the community.

Gayle Updike called and told me her little cat, Sammy, was returned to her after Virginia Estes read rin my Rambling? that it was lost Gayle was mighty happy. Thanks so much Ginny. Well, and I could keep right on saying well! Was I scared Friday? Of all places to be at 10 o’clock. Right at the foot of the stairs in Weaver’s store when W illie Denny murdered his wife. I knew, her from seeing her in the News stand and had often spoken to her and talked to her in traveling far ads in Front Royal. I saw her Friday, go up the steps to the office in Weaver’s. She came in the back door, her husband fallowing her. In a few seconds all hades broke loose. Someone came running down the steps screaming. It was Mrs. Denny’s niece who works in the office. Before *e reached the bottom a shot rang out. I was sure she had been hit, but she was trying to get out for help, as was Mrs. Gore from the upstairs office. I asked someone what in Heaven’s name was going on. “A man is shooting!” I said “I know that, but at what?” It wasn’t long before we realized what had happened, and I am sure every one in the store stopoed and said a silent prayer for their life.

Rappahannock News Washington, Virginia Monday, November 9, 1959 _ Are You Planning A Deerskin Coat? With the hunting season just a few days off, hunters are already out in their red caps speculating on the amount of game in the country. All are agreed that there will be many deer taken as they are most plentiful. The ladies are becoming mo6t interested in the skins for coats, gloves, handbags, moccasins, wallets, coin purses and key cases, and many other small articles that are made from pieces of leather left from coats (so the ladies are expected to' do all they can > to get the hunters off early on hunting days and to cooperate in every way. Instructions for the care of the skins before shipping to the taxidermist is being passed around. 1. Stretch skins as much as you can and spread on a dry floor, flesh side up. 2. Sprinkle two pounds of salt on flerit side and let stand for three or four day*. 3. ShA*! off the damp salt, wrap well, place in box and send via parcel post to your taxidermist. It requires, about thirty four square feet for a leather jacket, which is equal to about three largp deer skins. It requires four skins of deer are small. Dr. Cbutahan, son-in-law of Mr. W. C.

A Brief History Of Rappahannock Hunt With hounds of Sprata; never did lI hear Such gallant chiding; for, besides the groves, The skies, the fountains, every region near Seem’d all one piutual cry; I never - heard So musical a discord, such sweet thunder. j Midsummer Night’s Dream “Horn of ’Uncle' Bob Eastham of Rappahannock County, Virginia, engraved with foxhunting scenes, 25 inches.” This is the interesting description we stumbled on while studying a photographed collection of the traditional hunting horns of tthe Wjestern World of the 17th and 18th Centuries. The picture showed the familiar Mexican cowhorn type used today by the Rappahannock Hunt. Since the original sparse settling of this rugged county,, the same “sweet thunder” of1 hounds and the same haunting low voice of, the cowhorn have been echoed off the mountainsides and floated through the valleys. “The Shade”, now -the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. Raymond Wire, has been, known as the “Cradle of the American Foxhounds". Though the exclusiveness of the statement can be challenged, the fact is that during the most disasterous years of the War Between the States, Col. Charles Green, owner of The l Shade, continued to sustain and ‘breed his pack, thus keeping alive the excellent proven bloodlines of his American Foxhounds. | Since the early 18th Century, Rappahannock County has been known outside of Virginia, in the States and in Europe, for its many keen hunting njen, the outstandingly high quality of its privately bibd hounds, such as the famous Bywater Hounds, and its challenging foxhunting terraine. In 1926, Joseph B. Johnson, MFH, of Sperryville, gave identity add personality to the Rappahannock Hunt Club pack. He used the Thomas hounds which he kenneled behind Henry Brown’s Store. The foxhunting of those days was exciting, spontaneous, and informal. From 1935 to 1946, Arthur Miller took over as Master of Foxhounds. For a time during his tenure of office, Oliver Durant,II, took responsi bilities as Joint-Master with Mr. Miller. Thrilling, and sometimes a bit chilling, are the stories of the memorable fox races of that period. During 1946-48, Mr. Miller and J. E. Keyser shared the Mastership of the Club pack.

Rappahannock has had it’s share of visits from the great and near great and the “autograph album" of Miss Louise O'Bannon of Sperryville give? the exact date and a number of interesting details connected with the visit of one of our world citizens. We quote: “Be good sweet maid, and let those who will, be clever”. Signed William Jennings Bryan, Lincoln Nebraska, June 19, 1897. . “The silver-tongued Bryan’1' visited his cousin „ Col.

O’ Bannon not to make any speaking engagements for him, as he wished to spend the time quietly with the family, but it was impossible to keep his visit a secret. It is* said that practically everybody in Rappahannock was in Sperryville when he arrived. He spoke to the crowd from the porch of the country store (Sperryville Corner Store now) and they went wild with enthusiasm, cheering, weeping and laughing. Those hearing the Great Bryan speak had come to Sperryville on horseback, on foot, in carriages and buggies and in rood wagons. Parents took their children along. On the trip back home ,a small boy heard a fellow passenger in •^ the wagon remark, “There is no doubt about it, Bryan is the biggest man in this country.” Tugging at the sleeve of a tall man he had * wedged in against in the hay wagon, he said, “Oh no he isn’t anything like as big as Uncle Bill WS liams, is be cousin Harry? “Well now John, I believe you are right_Uncle Bill “is a little bigger,” cousin Harry replied.
