RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia TELEPHONE: WASHINGTON 2861 BASIL C. BURKE, JR. Owner MRS. SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Entered a* Second Class Mail at the Post Office at Washington, Vs. SUBSCRIPTION (in advance)...$2.50 PER YEAR OUR SCHOOL On the first day of school everyone was anxious to get inside to look at the new school, which they had wanted, and needed for such a long time. Once inside they saw a very attractive building with rooms that were adequately furnished and properly lighted. First they saw the clinic room where people may gq when they get sick. It was recently changed to the guidance room, which is a program being worked on by three of our teachers for every student’s future. The modern cafeteria, whiah is also used as a class room for science and algebra classes, is something we are fortunate to have this year inside the school building. The home economics department contains two kitchens, work space and a living-dining area which is arranged with all new furniture. I know that all the home economics students and their teacher are glad to have this large room. The teachers this year are very fortunate to have a lounge as a rescue against us annoying kids. These teachers are very deserving of this furnished room. Everyone I m sure is proud of our very beautiful auditorium-gymnasium combination. I hope everyone will do their best to keep it as nice as it is now. It will make everyone much more spirited at the games being able to play them at our own school on such a fine court. The bleachers are very convenient, and will be handy to have for basketball games and other activities here at school. The library is one of the best furnished rooms.in the school. We are grateful to Mrs. Moffett who has tried her best to keep the furniture looking nice. The inter-com system has proved to be a very handy device in saving steps when looking for someone or making- an nouncements. The laboratory is not yet finished but should be very well equipped when it is completed. Jacqueline (She) Many Our Responsibility to Our School This year we were most fortunate in moving into a new school building. The people of Rappahannock County have worked for many years to give us, their children, this schooil so that we may have better facilities for getting a better education. In return for their work we should be eternally grateful . To show our appreciation we must keep this new school new for the many students who will coine here in the future. To keep it new we must keep it clean. We must put paper and trash where it belongs in the waste basket5. Iion't be lazy and put it in a desk or on the floor for someone else to pick up. We are supposed to be growing into responsible adults but we must show our responsibility by keeping this building new and clean. Ice cream can ruin this floor if it is left on it. What’s more, it is very hard to get oft the floor once it is dry. Mr. Atkins is doing a wonderful job but, must we give him more work? Bat your ice crearrt in the proper place and if you happen to drop some clean it up It seem« another habit of ours is to carve our names in various places. All of us want to be remembered but do we want to be remembered as the thoughtless student who ruined a new desk with his name. Certainly not, if you want to carve your name, carve it on a piece of paper and hold it up for all your friends to see. They will centainly remember you for that! These are only a few of the many things we can do to keep our school new for many years to come. Ask yourself these questions. What will our school look like in the future, Will we be growing into responsible adults by keeping it new, will we be careless teen-age children by letting our school show its age of use? Bonnie Brown Thanksgiving Dinner Now And Then 'H,o Pilgrim homemaker boiled ami toilol for days to prepare foi the first Thanksgiv ing dinner in 11)21. Hut thanks to methods of food pies e r vati o n she never dreamed of, her modern sister can put a similar feast on the table in a matter of hours. I r~ was aJmost 2* 10 yea re after (Jovenjor William Bradford deeree«l a day of thanksgiving that canning was invented. A candvmaker named Nicholas Appert published the report of his invention in 1810. after collecting the prize of 12,000 francs that the French government had offered for a method of preserving food for its Now the housewife can simply open ;i can of mincemeat, pumpkin or cranberrv sauce or any of the other foods that bring the yearly retail value of canned foords to appiovimatelv Is4.s billion. ()r. she can roast a frozen turkey and open a package of frozen corn, parr rtf the $2 billion worth of frozen food that is produced annually, according to World Book Encyclopedia.* The Pilgrims probably kept some foods on ice, but it was the mechanical refrigeration developed in the late 1800’s and the quick-freezing process of Clarence Birdseye developed in the 1420’s that made freezing an important means of food preservation. In Thanksgiving dinners yet to come, the housewife may serve a freeze-dried turkey, one that has been quick-frozen And the moisture removed. Freezedrying was used in the days of the Pilgrims but only for preserv ing biological specimens in the laboratory. Just a few decades ago, scientists began to apply this method to food. A shipment of freeze-dried food currently is nourishing the World Book. Encyclopedia Scientific Expedition to the Himalaye, led by Sir Edmund Hillary. Recently scientists heve been experimenting with irradiation as a method of preserving food. If further experiments are successful, tomorrow's turkey dinner may be chock full of gamma rays. Of Senator Bryd I was appalled when I read in my own newspaper a front page reference to the Hon. Harry E. B\ rd as the “grinning little mountain climber.” While I am not in sympathy with Senator Byrd's policy of golden silence being a firm believer in the proposition that politics cannot operate in a vacuum, 1 regret and repudiate the lack of respect and good taste in such a comment.

Harrison has asked the Army for assurance that its Cheatham Annex cold storage depot near Williamsburg. Virginia, will continue in operation as a receiving point for Viiginia poultry' and other perishable food items. The Seventh District representati\e who represents Virginia’s major poultry producing region, the Shenandoah Valley, expressed concern over recurring reports that Cheatham Annex would be deactivated in favor of commercial storage facilities in the New York City area. Mr. Harnson said it was his understanding that the Cheatham Annex facility had been an efficient operation which had saved the Government money in Army procurement of poultry and other perishables. In a new letter to the Quartermaster General, A. T. McNamara, he referred to General McNamara’s assurance of last May that the Army then had no plans to change the status of the Cheatham Annex. Mr. (damson's letter follows: Major General A. T. McNamara The Quartermaster General I Vp. ' tment of the Army Washington 2N I). C.

A Thanksgiving Thought For America Rev. Dabney Carr Thanksgiving 1960 raninds us of two Gospel parables. One is the faithful steward who used the talents his; master intrusted to him to produce more. The other is the prodigal son who took his inheritance and squandered it. ,We jue reminded of these two parables because if any land in modern; history has seemed to be the Biblical promised land “where we eat bread without scarcity and lack nothing, a land whose stones are iron and out of whose hills we can dig copper," it is America. The two parables remind us of the kinds of stewardship we may choose. Ours! is a land to which countless millions since Columbus’ day have looked for freedom to grow and prosper as children of God, inheritors of the promise made to Abraham. For them, America holds out the, hope and possibility of economic, ipolitical and religious freedom. As we look back at our history we see that all that has been promised has come to pass. And as we look forward to our destiny we see that the eyes of all the world still wait upon us. There are still countless millions who look to us for the fulfillment of God's promise. Will they be able to share in the richness of God’s creation because we have been good and faithful stewards? Or will they wait upon janother because we have squandered the inheritance that has beQn given us? The1 choice is by no means certain. Therefore, let us pause this Thanksgiving and offer our thanks to CM f°r the gifts of his creation and ask that his 'Holy Spirit may cqme and dwell among us so that \ye may be faithful stewards of all that has been given us. Almighty Cod, whose loving hand hath given us all that we possess; Grant us grace that lie may honour thee uith our substance, and remembering the account which we must one day give, may he faithful stewards of thy bounty; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Mrs, Almond Gets Fi rst Christmas Seals ! “Ncl one would know by lookI : ing at them how dose these children hafe been to tragedy,” Mrs. J. Lindsay Almond, Jr., wife of the Governor of Virginia said as she received Virginia’s first 1960 two of Virginia’s Christmas Seail Christinas Seals from the.hands of Children on November 14 to officially <j>pen the 51st Christmas Seal Camp4ign in Virginia. “These children represent the tremendous progress that has been made in the tight against tuberculosis,” Mrs. Almond continued, “and they also represent the great job (still to be done if TB is to be conquered.” Unknowingly infected with tuberculosis by a loving grandmother, the children were treated in a Medical College clinic partly supported by Christmas Seals and the U.S. Public Health Service. One of them has been infected with tuberculosis and the other so endangered that preventive measures have had to be taken to ensure her safety, i “These children are fortunate that they lived where they could get immediate help,” Mrs. Almond said. “Despite the progress made against TB which can save such children from the ravages of tuberculosis there are still boys and girls in our TB hospitals that have very little hope for sound bodies. The: Christmas Seal has worked for over 50 years to teach people how ,to protect themselves again: tuberculosis, to support medical research, nursing scholarships, health education and rehabilitation. I am more than happy to take these Seals from Cathy and Ronnie as a symbol of my continuing personal fight against tuberculosis. Please support the Christmas Seals in your community.” Boston News Mrs. AUce Dorsey Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Hash had as their over night guest Tuesday, Mrs. Hash’s aunt, Mrs. O. C.

Davis, Jr. Traffic Fatalities Continue Downward In spite of an October weekend that saw 17 traffic deaths in Virginia, the month ended with 66 deaths to preserve the downward trend they have taken during 1960, Colonel C. W. Woodson, Jr., Chairman of the Governor’s Highway Safety Committee and Superintendent of State Police, announced today. The 66 deaths recorded exactly duplicated the score for October last year and is the lowest October total since the 64 of October, 1956. As of October 31, Colonel Woodson noted, the 1960 toll stood at 606 to compare favorably with the 688 for the corresponding period of 1959. Traffic volumes are up about 2 percent for the year. Colonel Woodson was quick to point out that good fortune, rather than any revolutionary improvement in driver behavior, was the big factor in this reduction. During the first 10 months of 1960, Virginia saw 54 crashes which killed more than one person each for a total of 119 deaths. For the same period of 1959, there were 72 multiple fatal crashes killing 183 people. “The same driver fault which causes a fatal crash,” he said, “can bring the deaths of as many people as happen to occupy the involved vehicle and who have no part in causing the crash.” Colonel Woodson sounded a word of warning in describing November and December as very dangerous months trafficwise, with December averaging the highest toll of any month, and asked that everyone, walking and driving, keep this in mind.

Rules For Mental Health The Rappahannock News has just received its autumn copy of “Mental Health’', published by the Board of the Department of Mental Hygiene and Hospitals of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Following are nine mental health rules recommended by Dr. Joseph Fetterman: 1. Have A Hobby—Acquire pursuits which absorb your interest. Sports and nature are best. 2. Develop A Philosophy—Adapt yourself to social and spiritual surroundings. 3. Share Your Thoughts—Cultivate companionship in thought and feeling. Confide, confess, consult. 1 4. Face Your Fears—Analyze them; daylight dismisses ghosts. 5. Balance Fantasy With Facts —Dream, but also do; wish but build; imagine but ever face reality. 6. Beware Alluring Escapees— Alcohol, opiates and barbitals may prove faithless friends. 7. Exercise—Walk; golf; muscles need activity. 8. Don’t Become Eirgulfed In A Whirlpool Of Worries—Call early for help. The doctor is ready for your rescue. 9. Trust In Time—Be patient and hopeful; time is a great therapist. BRUCE NOLAND Continued from page one tee. He is a personal friend of President-elect John F. Kennedy. Mr. Noland feels the war veteran should be better represented in Richmond. During the Presideirtal campaign he says he “discovered many things about the state of (Virginia that really awed me. Virginia is 41st in the United States in education. Infant mortality in Virginia is 40 in every one thousand births. Only one state has a worse ratio. In other words Virginia is at the bottom of the heap in many things. We have a fine and glorious past, but we are not ahead, nor even staying abreast of the rest of the nation. CONVENTION »uo »6d4 uMuj ppnuijuoj announced. Mrs. J. H. Williams, Chairman, Rappahannock Woman’s Committee of the Farm Bureau expects to attend the convention, in addition to Mr. Johnson. Irvin O. Wolf, who is a voting delegate and Gen. Daniel Noce, president Rappahannock Farm Bureau. The vesper service will be held on the roof garden of the hotel and will be in charge of the VFBF Woman’s Committee. Weekly Farm Price Outlook EGGS Egg prices look as if they still have some more rise in them before the end-of-the-vear decline. They have already bounced back to mid-October levels from a sharp slump late in that month. Reason for the strength is that old hens finally went to market in good numbers, leaving about six per cent fewer total layers across the nation. Virginia Grade A large eggs stood at 56% to 57 last week, with mediums 47U> to 48. In New York, Grade A large were 58 to MADISON LIVESTOCK MARKET Madison Mills. Va.

CATTLE Slaughter cattle prices probably will lose the dollar or so they have gained in the past few weeks, but then they should level out and hold until about the first of the year. Prices of both slaughter and feeder and Stocker cattle have been easing up from $2 under last year to about $1 under, but during the next few weeks they will probably ease back. The number of cattle on feed to come to market between now and the first of the year will be a little below a year ago, but grass fed slaughter cattle moving to market will be enough to hold beef supplies up to or above a year earlier, however, lower hog slaughter figures will keep red meat supplies pretty well in line with demand, up substantially. If you have slaughter cattle to sell, it will pay to hold them for a better finish. Good grade steers at Virginia auction last week were bringing $21.50 to $23.75, with standard grade at $19 to $21.50. Choice and prime steers in Chicago brought $25.25 to $27.25, with good grade at $24 to $25. We Can Supply All Your CULPEPER BUILDING & SUPPLY CORP.
