Rappahannock News, December 15, 1960

« • t Merit Scholarship Examination All 1962 graduates of Rappahannock County 'High School who wish to enter the 1961-62 National Merit Scholarship competition should register now at the school office, Mr. H ,B. Winfrey, principal, announced today. The National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test will be given at 9 a.m. Saturday, March 11, 1961. To be eligible for the test, Rappahannock County High School students must be second semester juniors at the time of the examination. Students must pay a $1 fee on the day of the test. The, tests are given each year by the .National Merit Scholarship Corporation as part of the nation’s largtest independent scholarship program. Awards are granted on the basis of Intellectual merit but student financial needs determine the size of individual stipends, which are renewable each year without further tiesting. The NMS exam, administered by Science Research Associates of Chicago, also is valuable to students for selecting their careers or planning their courses in high school and college, Mr, Winfrey observed. After the test, each participating student will receive an interperative folder that reports individual test results for comparison with scores of high school students across the country. Thus, Mr. Winfrey saidj, students may learn their educational strengths and weaknesses, whether or not they plan to attend college. In addition to the NMS grants established in 1955 by the Ford Foundation and the Carnegie Corporation of New York, about 155 industrial corporations, foundations and! other individuals give scholarships through NMSC. A considerable number of other scholarship agencies utilize the services of the NAtlSC in awarding their scholarships. Work On Library Progressing ^ork is progressing on the Rappahjannock Library- as rapidly as funds become available. Most recent work was the removal of the floor when it was discovered that there has been considerable termite damage to the supporting beams. Estimates are being received to termite-proof the building so that thefe will be no further trouble of this sort in the future. The old flooring, which is made of one and one! eight inch pine boards is largely salvagable, and will be replaced to retain the authenticity of this finej old building. Vents have been put| into the foundation walls to prevent dampness under the floor, another means of protection against dan|ip rot and termites. Rians have been made to repair the ceiling at this time also with tunas available and an appeal is made again for donations to continije this restoration. Donations are tax deductible on this year’s income tax whereever such donations are desired. It is suggested further that there is no finer memorial to the memory of members of our community than a donation madq in their name. Checks may be made payable to the Rappahannock' Library, In care of Mrs. B. ^1. Miller, Washington, Va. Remember This Date December ‘ 16—Sperryville Fire Co.

Project The Lions Club of Rappahannock County has recently agreed' to accept financial responsibility i for the examination, treatment and j provision of eye glasses for the indigent school children of the coun-! ty where needed, and to provide such other service through it’s Sight Conservation Committee asi is possible with the funds available) to it. Dr. John L. Miller, Optome-i trist, of Culpeper, is graciously cooperating with -\the Lion’s Club in this program and the Club state? that without his kind service, the program would be impossible. Working with Mrs. Frances B, Thornton, Public Health Departs nient, and Mrs. Elizabeth M. Buntin, Public Welfare Department* of the County, the Club has established regular procedures which must be followed in each and every case. Where such aid is desired, the patient must make application through Mrs; Thornton who will be provided with the necessary forms and whose certification as to need, as well as the certification of Mrs. Buntin as to indigency will be required prior to forwarding the request to the Lion’s Club for approval. The Lion’s have siet a policy requiring a nominal contribution from the patient, however, considering the high cost of medical attention at the present time; such contribution should be" no deterrent in the case of urgent need. In connection with this program, the Lion’s Club deserves the support of the community in their various endeavors to raise money for financing their good work.

RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia TELEPHONE: WASHINGTON 2851 BASIL C. BURKE, JR. Owner MRS. SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Entered as Second Class Mail at the Post Office at Washington, Va. SUBSCRIPTION (in advance).---$2.50 PER YEAR CHRISTMAS— Sad or Glad Rn<*°WiUiam A. Jester Text: Malachi 3:16...“Then they that feared the Lord spoke often one to another and the Lord hearkened, and heard it. and a book of remembrance teas urittten before llim for .them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon His name." Will Christmas this year be sad or glad for you? The answer depends on you. It isn’t necessary for Christmas to be a sad time. All of life could be sad if you let it. It isn’t all sunshine, some rain must fall. " We should be grateful if we have the capacity to remember ’ things that should be treasured in memory, ami if we have the capacity to forget the things that should he torn out of the book of life. 1. One great enemy in life that we need to deal with properly is INORATITI DK. Ingratitude is to lose the capacity to say,- “Bless the I xml, O my soul, and forget not all of His benefits unto me.” We people in America are always in danger of being ungrateful because we have so much. We all have a lot more now than just a tew years ago, but we also have many more obligations. A layman in the church said not long ago, “We’ve got homes to build; we’ve got automobiles and televisions to buy, but we should let nothing stand between us and building the Kingdom.” We all have obligations, but let’s remember that God is the giver of every good and perfect gift. Over fifty million people on earth today are starving, and there are little children who have never known what it is to have a full stomach. And as we look to a joyous and happy full Christinas, let’s not be ungrateful. May we sing the tune over and over again: Count your many blessings, Name them one by one, And it will surprise you What the Lord hath done.” II. Another enemy in life that we need to deal witht properly is ]•- ORGETFUL NESS. Every Christian should have a book of remembrance. “And they that feared the Lord, they spoke one with another. Christian people ought to speak a lot with each other. Memory is a blessed thing. We need to remember things that should never be forgotten. But we should forget things we need to forget. And if we have the capacity to remember when we die, if in some other place, we can remember and we can feel remorse and regret, what a ghastly punishment it ingoing to be for some of us. You remember the lines: - sat alone with my const ience CLORE FUNERAL HOME “The Home of Thoughtful Service’’ Culpeper, Virginia Phone VA 5-2361 Ambulance Service With Oxygen in a place where time had ceased, And I thought of my former living and the land where the years increased And I know of that future judgment how dreadful soe’er it be, That to sit alone with my conscience will be judgment enough for me.” - Charles Dickens, in his story of The Haunted House, tells of a man w’ho sat by his fire one night. He was miserable.full of bitter memories. The things he wanted he couldn't have, and the things he had, he didn’t want. Dickens portrays a spirit coming and speaking to him, saying, “1 can relieve you of all your bitterness if ybu will give up your memory.” They made a deal and the man gave up his ability to remember. His life became empty and how he suffered. no pictures on the wall and no glad voices echoing across the hills of rime, Dickens closed the story with a little prayer. The man got down and prayed to God. He said, “O Lord, keep my memories green, keep my memories green.. Let me write in the book of remembrance.” Maybe we need to pray that same prayer. Hair you stopped this Christmas sea on to say, “Bless the Lord, O my soul.” Will you bow your head and say, “Lord, keep my memories green. Give me the capacity to shut up in the little rooms the things that should be shut there but to keep the windows up and let the sunshine in.” Christmas will not be sad for you if you thank God for green memoriees and for the lamps that have been lighted because of the flower that blooms upon the win dow sill of our souls. If you don't h. ve a little book or remembrance, whv don't you make it a Christmas gift to \ourself and begin to put d r.vi there all the people that love '.on. and all the people who believe in you. And how God loves you. All of these are your assets. All the g< od things that have happened to voti, and things that you had no part in, that have brought joy and sun-hme into your life. Continue h day to tell another story of ( ’.id's goodness and God's love, "And a book of remembrance was written for them that feared the Lord, and thought upon His name." May this be a glad Christmas for each o* ,.s in that we will think upon the name of the Lord. Let us love and fear Him, and let us keep a little book of remembrance... filled with gratitude.

irginia’s Art By Leslie Check, Jt. Director, Virginia Museum of Fine Arts 2 V* 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 sum-metropolitan museums in the world. Its pioneer Artmobile visits the cities and towns of Virginia, and traveling exhibitions go constantly to schools, libraries, clubs, k 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. The Emperor Taiso and the Camel CHINESE TERRA COTTA FIGURING The camel is, a reast to the Western mind, the most exotic and the most romantic of all modes of transportation used by man. Trained as a beast of burden from very early times and celebrated in a host of drawings, paintings and sculptures from antiquity to the present, the camel has always fascinated he observer and has always been a precious possession of his owner. It was the custom during the Tang era (61.8-906 A.I).) in China to furnish the tombs of the more important people with terra cotta images of those possessions which might be considered essential to their happiness in the after life. ()f the representations of the .animal-kingdom found in the T'ang tombs, that of the horse is the most frequent, but other animals and sometimes domestic birds are also discovered in the tomjrs. The camel is not unusual in this group of fig ures, tmt nc occurs witn sutric.enr infrequei.cv to indicate that he was not too nemo ally owned, and his presence in a tomb i' interpreted as a mark of very high respect indeed. One of the most touching manifestation^ of this regard is found in the T’ang tomb figure of a camel now in the collections of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. The Museum’s camel is exceedingly interesting from two viewpoints.from that of the realistic information to be obtained from it and as a piece of, sculpture. Realistically one can' sgb quite clearly the sling or saddle which holds the load in place, the nntscular bracing of the animal to support that load, aixl the sense of balance the camel has achieved in order to make the load bearable. In addition it is possible to make out the gourds which were Ini water and the game, in this case a pheasant and a rabbit, % Sweeten <Jreb Qkn^UmaA.

It is even possible to see how all these things have been fastened to the saddle. All these details show that the Chinese of the epoch were thoroughly familiar wih long journeys, as was indeed the case, for under the second T'ang Emperor, Taiso, who reigned from 627 to 6S0, the Chinese armies, pilgrims and trade’-, penetrated as tar we-t as Turkestan aaid India and received embassies from Persia.

Rapp - Chats Py W. H. LYNE County A^fent This office daily receives a number of srfil test resjults for which I am expected to write fertilizer and lime recommendations. This, I am glad to do, however I must remind farmers that for me to do so not knowing the soil type he is dealing with puts me at a disadvantage and could mean wasteful spending of his money. For instance let’s assume the soil test shows a PH of 0.0 If in this case soil type is Congaree fine sandy loam, 2 tons of limestone will do the job; if the soil is Brandywine loam, 3 tons are recommended ; and should the soil be a clay loam, 6 tons will be needed to sweeten the soil to the same level. Fertilizer recommendations are not as closely governed by soil type as are those for lime, however fertilization rates are governed considerably by the soil ty pe. One soil has the ability to hold improvement while rainfall or snow may cause much of the added fertility to reach be&nv the root zone and as a result it is lost. Both the County Agent's office and the ASC office each has a complete set of soil survey maps. You should personally bring your soil samples to either of these offfices and at the time check with me or Milton Gore so the soil types can be entered on the soil rest record sheet for each field a soil test is to be run on. By doing so you might be doubly benefited. Just recently one of our farmers wanted to know whether lime was needed and what .fertilizer and how much would be needed fo rcorn. The soil of the field he had in mind planting was unsuited for corn. The soil of the field he much lime or feritlizer may have been applied, the corn yield would have been very poor. • • • • LAND OWNERS BEWARE of shady characters, or poor woodsmen when selling your timber! Most land owners sell timber b«cause they need the money. When you sell, be sure you: 1. have y'our timber cruised; 2. are selling to a reputable buyer and 3. that he is a gcxxl woodsman. Check with your Chief Warden. Raymond Johnson at Woodville or W. C. Vernam, District Forester at Warrenton. They are your friends. You'll profit by doing so. Remember, it^is always easier to stay out than to get out of trouble. • « * • The first PROGRESS RE PORT of bulls on ROP feed test at Culpeper was received this week. Piedmont Farm and The Oaks (Tholand and Johnson respectively) are Rappahannock farms with bulls on test this year._ The overall average daily gain, through December 6th was 3.08 pounds per day for the 88 bulls on test. Since one pen of 15 bulls were stricken with severe colds, 1 would say this rate of gain is excellent. Three of the bulls from the The Oaks having a daily gain of 3.39, 3.21 and 3.92 pounds are above average; however, the Piedmont bull unfortunately was among those bulls suffering from bad colds. Most of these bulls are now recovered, according to those in charge and are eating much better. SQUARE DANCE FLINT HILL FIRE HALL Friday, December 16, 1960 Benefit: FLINT HILL VOL.

Christmas Dinner For Those Who Wore The Grey Louemma Moffett Vying for space in our newspaers and for the thoughts of people all over our land, are the plans for the "New Administration” and the “Confederacy”, often referred to as “The Lost Cause.” _ If the people of Rappahannock could find their old newspapers of December in the early nineteen hundreds they would certainly find an account of the Annual Christmas Dinner that the Daughters of the Confederacy always served those who wore the Grey. They never forgot and it was the event of the year until the older members of the Organization passed on and the chapter had to fold. Rut it was an active and devoted group that erected the monument ori'-the Court House lawn, fed, entertained, cheered and honored 1 those old men who fought so bravely for what they.''believed to be right. There was always an address by a visitor, either at the Court House or the Methodist Church, followed by dinner at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Bradford Baggarly. A dinner that included turkey, duck, (Mrs. Eugenia Dudley’s roast ducks were always in demand) old Virginia ham, roast pork and, beef and gallons of oysters; and off course all the trimmings. Children of the Daughters helped.they sang, recited poems of the Confederacy and waited on the tables and did all they could in their youthful way; to entertain the “()Id Soldiers.” Mrs. C. H. Dear, wife of one of Moseby's men, was the president of the Society for many years. .• Other members who always helped were Mrs. Emma Moore Baggarly, Dora Menefee, Mrs. Eugenia Eastham Dudley, Mrs. William Andersob. Mrs. Horatio Gates Moffett, Mrs. J. VV. Clark, Mrs. F. P. Carter, Mrs. E. W. Brown, Mrs. M. W. Massie, Mrs. William Carter, Mrs. Swindler, Mrs. T. E. Smith and a number of others. The Christmas dinner for the soldiers was “the event” of Rappahannock for many years, and in the words of Charles Dickens, speaking of the regeneration of Ebenezer Scrooge, it was said of them, the Daughters, “They knew how to keep Christmas well.” Note: One of the small fry who waited on the table at one of the dinners remembers that on one occasion she was a bit disappointed. When the time came for those who had helped, to be served, all of the roast duck was gone!! Chi Sigma News Due to the sudden snow, our last week's meeting was called off. We had planned to go to Front Royal for the Civic Program produced by the local bands of Front Royal. However, neither this or a local meeting was held. Next Sunday night, December 18, our group is planning to go Christmas caroling. All members are to meet at Trinity Episcopal Parish Hall at 6:30. The hall will be open and heated so we can thaw out.

Virginia Highway Conference Of all the Annual Conferences held in Virginia during 1%0, it sate to say that the Virginia Highway Conference,, held at Virginia 1 Military Institute. Lexington, Va. brought out facts rhat should be the .concern of every citizen of the 'late and especially to those in the rural areas. ‘ Recent statistics show that 3 out of even" 4 highway deaths occur on RURAL ROADS which carry only half of the total traffic. Rural fatality rate is 7.4 and urban 3.2. A delegate to the conference declared, “We must do something about it.” A panel of outstanding newsmen, highway offifcials and Legislators determined that the best way to develop our highway systems was to keep the public informed. To develop an "awareness” among all the people and ask them to “do somehing about it.” Said a delegate, “We have the men.the equipment.—the material-'.we can get the money of there i- a proper public awarenes-. 1. AWARENESS that traffic congestion is not a necessary evil. not an inescapable heritage of modern living. 2. AWARENESS that there are ready answers to most of our highway needs that can provide without undue drains upon our tax sources or on our national economy. 3. AWARENESS that the dreadful accident toll can be materially reduced through improved highway design. 4. Awareness that adequate roads don’t cost.they pay. “Creating such an awareness among 180,000,(XX) people, combating misinformation, inertia mistrust, reaction..isn’t easy'. but it can, and must be done. “The voice of a single citizen may not carry far, but the voice of citizens in concert carries power, that forces action.” The Rappahannock News enjoyed reviewing the November / irginia Road Builder and especially the splendid article on the con ference at V.M.I. It hopes that the citizens of Rappahannock will become aware of the many problems and do something about them.
