RCHS Drops Games To Loudoun The Panthers and Pantherettes of Rappahannock County High School bowed o Loudoun County High at the opening game of the season Friday, December 2 in the first game on the new RCHS court with a capacity house attending. In the first half of the girl’s game, Rappahannock’s guards were lax on rebounding and the forwards were definitely having an off night. Though their game improved in the second half, Loudoun had too great a lead to be overcome. Shirley Brown was high scorer. The Panthers seemed a bit disorganized in their attempt against Loudoun. Butch Browning was high point man. The RCHS Junior Varsity and boys teams played Warren County Wlid Cats Tuesday, December 6 on Rappahannock’s court with the Panthers the victors and the Junior boys losing to Warren County.

E. M. Jones presiding. Present were Supervisors L. H. Luttrell, Herbert Foster, E. M. Estes, and H. B. Wood. A. H. Buckner was absent. D. G. Wilfong of the Division of Forestry and Raymond Johnson, Forest Warden for Rappahannock, made a request for funds for a twoway radio for the Warden’s truck which would be matched by the state with a radio for the tower. The request never reached the form of a motion, so consequently was dropped. Method and rate payment to registrars for purging the registration books was discussed and it was decided that Chairman Jones should meet with D .D. Miller of the electoral board, to make a decision on this matter. The Clerk of the Circuit Court, who was allowed $800 for part time help for the year, asked for an additional $43.75 to finish out this year. After a discussion that this walbad business to raise appropriations'for it could become a bad habit, the money was granted. Abuse of dog laws in the county was next on the agenda and it was felt though there was a dog law in force it was not enforced. Dog owners who let their animals run at large can be fined as much as $500 and it was agreed that action would be necessary after an owner was notified of his dog becoming a nuisance. Building permits, which are required but often overlooked, were discussed and the present ordinance is to be amended to include the builder as responsible as well as the owner so that proper assessment can be made. Resolutions on better and area distance phone service were adopted. Motion was made for payment of current bills and salaries and a bill for expenses for the Commonwealth Attorney in investigating recent crimnal cases was approved.

If you have a 1960 Virginia license plate issued in your name and have changed your address during the current year, please notify the Division of Motor Vehicles, P.O. Box 1298, Richmond, Virginia at once, so we can mail to your correct address a license application in 1961. If you fail to notify the Division of your change of address your new license form cannot be delivered and this is bound to work ? hardship on the licensee and causes him considerab'.f inconvenience.” Commissioner Lamb stated that the following information should be included in notifying his office of a change of address: New address, title number, make and identification number and' name as shown on the current registration card. He suggested that a postal card carrying this information be mailed directly to the Division of Motor Vehicles, P.O.

ASC Office Advises Farmers To Keep Records Here is advice from the ASC office to Rappahannock County sheep producers ttfho market unshorn lambs this fall. Keep a full record of all sales so proper application for payment may be made next spring under the Wool Incentive Program. “Failure to keep full records has caused some producers difficulties in the past,” Rappahannock ASC County office manager said. “Sales records must include the name of the buyer, his signature, the number and liveweight of lambs sold with the notation ‘unshorn’ thereon.” ! i ; M. C. Gore said producers should keep these records in a safe place at home or deliver them to the ASC county office for safekeepin. Although the final date for' making application for payment under the 1960 wool program is not until April 30, 1961, the applications may be submitted to thte ASC office any time between now and then. “It’s mighty easy for farmers to misplace sales slips over the win-' ter,” M. C. Gore said, “and I strongly suggest that farmers let us lock up the sales slips here in the county office for safekeeping until next spring.” FIRE and RESCUE SQUAD NOTES Saturday night, December 3 the Flint Hill Rescue Squad took an Atkins boy from Sperryville to the Warren Memorial Hospital.

LATHAM, Managing Editor Entered as Second Class Mai! at the Post Office at Washington, Va. SUBSCRIPTION (in advance) $2.50 PER YEAR Banning Censorship By Taxation Last June the Hot^se Ways and Means Committee approved a bill to permit the cost of lobbying to be deducted from taxable income. This measure, if it becomes law, would reverse a Treasury Department ruling holding that deductions of this nature are net a necessary and legitimate business expense, and hence are not allowable. In the words of a UPI news report, “Under the bill, business men could deduct from gross income the cost of influencing action by Congress or by state or other legislatures or influencing action by the voters on proposals submitted to them. The deductions could be claimed as long as the expenses qualified under the test of existing law as ‘ordinary and necessary’ to the conduct of business.” It is difficult to see how the Committee could have taken any other action. The Treasury was held that the cost of advertising dealing with legislative proposals or designed to influence the public’s attitude toward these proposals “is not deductable as a business expense, even though the legislation may directly affect the taxpayer’s business.” This means, in certain instances, that an industry may not defend itself against movements wihch would destroy it, save by paying a heavy tax penalty. The light and power utilities are an outstanding example. Through advertising and in other open and legal ways they have opposed socialized power. This, to them, is literally a life and death matter. And if advertising designed to save them from extinction isn’t a legitimate business expense what is? The bill which the Committee approved finally is designed to ban censorship by taxation. That kind of censorship is repellent to every American ideal and principle. The editorial above appeared in the September 22 issue of the Southwest;VirginiaEnterprise and was chosen by the Farm Bureau as a winning editorial based on freedom and liberty. How Did Jesus Grow? by Rev. Warren L. Wilbur Luke 2:52 "And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.” Thanksgiving has passed and Christinas is just around the corner. The Bethlehem scene in all it's beauty and mystery will again be brought into focus. It is my desire to point out that Jesus did not remain in the manger, or cradle. This child grew into a man whose word:% are imperishable—though He himself never wrote a book. Though there are various ministries of the life of Jesus we could stress —such as healer or counselor—I have chosen to discuss how Jesus grew into becoming a preacher. In His inaugural address He said, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach...to preach the gospeL— to preach deliverance. to preach the acceptable year of the Lord” (Luke 4:18-19) In short, Jesus is saying that He has been sent by (lod to preach to men. We shall now see how Jesus prepared Himself for this task. Physical Preparation ; 1. He was physically prepared t'> preach. Being known as a carpenter, the long walks referred to in the New Testament, the hot and dusty climate during the thirty davs of temptation, the temple conflict and the ordeal of the trial and curcifixion. These instances indicate that Jesus was physically prepared to preach. We who profess to be Christians sometimes neglect the upkeep of our bodies. We forget that when we break God’s physical laws we have grieved the Holy Spirit. The Bible states that we ■'re the temple of the Holy Spirit. Let us keep this temple in the same condition as we would keep our church sanctuary. Intellectual Preparation 2. He was intelectuallv prepared to preach. From the profound teachings of Jesus we know that the silent years He spent at Nazai us were nor wasted. His grasp of the Ohl Testament is constantly revealed. His beatitude, “Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth’’ is taken from Psalm 37:11. His words, “My God, mv God, why hast thou forsaken me?" are taken from Psalm 22:1. His knowledge of Rabbinic teachings were stated in the negative as He HOLIDAY BAKER’S PRIDE... Our fruit cak'j is overflowing with foodneis. Chock - f.ill of fruits and nuts.

Thus, we see Jesus intellectually prepared in the scriptures, the teachings and the languages in His area. Suffice it to say that a dull mind is not to be praised. Men used by God in the past who were intelectually weak, were used in spite of their weakness, not because of it. The last preparation of Jesus is the one in which He excelled magnificantly. This is possibly our weakest step concerning the Christian pilgrimage. Spiritual Preparation 3. He was spiritually prepared to preach. Jesus took His spiritual preparation for granted in that He constantly kept working at it. We, His followers, take our spiritual preparation for granted in that we don't bother to develope godly habits. What a difference! He was the Son of God, yet He went apart to pray. His life was filled with thoughtful meditations. This was His source of strength. Possibly if our lives ^nd homes possessed this same kind of prayer and meditation we could find the “eye”, the inner circle of (iiod’s peace in these whirling days of activity.

No Heotachlor To Be Used On Alfalfa The Virginia Department of Agriculture has announced there will be no fertilizer-heptachlor mixtures approved for use on alfalfa to control weevils for application in the spring of 1961. The same goes for straight heptachlor. The announcement followed a meeting of the Department’s Fertilizer Advisory Committee, which includes representatives of the fertilizer industry, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and farm organizations. At the same time, the Department ruled out heptachlor from fertilizer mixtures to be used on peanuts in 1961, but allowed some fertilizer-heptachlor mixtures for corn. Reasons for all three actions were the same, possible residue that might reach dairy or beef cattle through feed crops and end up in milk or meat. Any heptachlor found in milk will cut a dairyman off from his market for an extended period until the residue clears up, the Department said. To avoid this possibility, the Federal Food and Drug Administration last spring clamped .a zero toleriance for heptachlor in any form on alfalfa shipped interstate. On recommendation of VPI, the Department approved heptachlor and some of its fertilizer mixtures for use on alfalfa after the 1960 crop was completely harvested, but prior to October 15. Today's announcement ruled out spring application on the 1961 crop.

Thirtyfive or so hikers began the ascent at 10:25 from Etlan and after a leisurely trip up the mountain and lunch on the summit, they returned at 4 pun. The weather was “made to order’’ with clear skies and very moderate temperatures. As a matter of fact some of us were slightly over dressed, expecting it to be much cooler than it was. A road has been made up the mountain which is 3,295 feet in elevation, but does not extend entireto the top. Mr. and Mrs. Charles H.

Social Security News Many senior citizens who are living on a limited budget may be entitled to social security payments which they are not now receiving, according to Miss Florence Schaffner, Field Representative of the Alexandria Social Security Office. Miss Schaffner stated that these senior citizens are persons who have reached the age of 65 but failed to qualify for benefits because they did not have enough work under social security to give them an insured status. The I960 amendments reduced by about onethird the length of time a person has to work under social security to become insured for the payment of benefits to himself and his family. Unchanged, however, is the provision that no one may get benefits without at least six quarters of work. Miss Schaffner urges those who ha\e had some work under social security but did not have enough credits to be insured, to contact the social security’ office to find out if this new provision now makes rhem eligible. *XXX* %XXXXX V WXXXXXXXXXXXXX V\VV\V\\ *VV\VV^V^^v» Watch and Clock Repairing QUICK EXPERT SERVICE COVERSTON’S WATCH SHOP Main Street Front RoyaI> Va. kXXXX SQUARE DANCE FLINT HILL FIRE HALL Friday, December 16, 1960 J Benefit: FLINT HILL VOL.

irginia’s Art By Leslie Cheek, Jr. Director, Virginia Museum of Fine Arts The Virginia Museum is celebrating its 25th Birthday. In 1936, as the nation's first state-supported art museum, it was given a mandate to promote the enjoyment of art throughout Virginia. Today it is one of the leading non-metropolitan museums in the •world. Its pioneer Artmobile visits the cities and towns of Virginia, and traveling exhibitions go constantly to schools, libraries, clubs, colleges and art centers throughout the Commonwealth. The nationally known director of the state museum, Leslie Cheek, Jr., describes the great masterpieces of art in the museum's collections— the cultural heritage of all Virginians. This is one of a series of articles which will appear each week in this newspaper. Two Boys, a Bird, and a Nurse EARLY VIRGINIANS BY AM ANONYMOUS ARTIST When Miss Dorothy Payne gave the portrait of “Alexander Spottswood Payne and his brother John Robert Dandridge Payne, with their Nurse” to the Virgflfti# Museum of Fine Arts in 1953, It had been rolled up and stored in an attic forbears and was very much darkened and damaged by age. The Museum sent it to erne of the best restorers in the country and the handsome and important painting reproduced above began to emerge from the long and painstaking process of cleaning. ITte elder of the two Payne boys, Alexander Spottswood, was born on October 20, 1780, the son of Archer and Martha Dandridge Payne of “New Market” in Goochland. Co. Thus it is possible to date the painting at about 1790, for Alexander Spottswood is ceri tainly about ten years old. He has been amusing -himself by hunting birds with his bow and arrow and is offering the trophy of his hunt, a woodpecker, to his younger brother, John Robert Dandridge Payne. John, who is dressed only in his shirt, is being encouraged to accept the bird by his nurse who, in spite of the simplicity of her clothes, is wearing a charming necklace of brilliant blue beads. The artist, whose name is unknown, has placed this lively scene on an unusually large canvas, 56 inches high by 69 inches wide, and in a delightful setting of trees with a corner of the house showing and a view of the mountains seen through the trees. He has even included the household dog, or at least one assumes that it is the household dog since it has been DOLL HOUSE SET t*T'» KJLVX OID-MWIIONKj CXlURU** ^9- Oiftg Galove .£33* ... oo<r WMalir . « Friday evening December 23rd at 9:00 P.

The painting is the work of one of the 18 century limners, that anonymous group of painters that went from town to town and house to house paipting such subjects as came their way. Alhough they were often untoutered, their freshness of vision, their sharp colors and their direct attack in setting down a likeness of the sitter frequently gave their work far more interest than that of their more academically trained but less talented colleagues. They usually concentrated on a single sitter, and usually completed their paintings on cancases far smaller than this one. The importance of this painting stems from several facts—its unusually large scale, its inclusion of more than one sitter, its early date, its depiction of plantation life, its animation, and its record of a Virginia family.. In addition, it shows influence of the English “conversation piece”—paintings so-called because they showed two or more people at their daily amusements and conversing. It was a considerable journey for such an influence to travel—across the Atlantic and inland from the ports as far as Goochlaind Co.—and it produced this very important and most delightful portrait of the Payne brothers.
