operryville Phone Directories Mailed The new 1961 Sperryville telephone directories were mailed to customers this week, according to the Chesapeake and Potornac Telephone Company of Virginia. Deliveries will be completed by the end of the week. H. E. Lindsey, are* manager, urg?d that all old directories be destroyed when the mew ones are received. Many additions, changes and deletions are reflected in the new issue. Corrections have been made to December 15, 1960. After verification, Mr. Liqdsey suggested that all local emergency call numbers and frequently called numbers be transferred to page one of the new directory. No change was made in the first and last listing in the Speriyville section. William E. Abbott is the first listing and J, M. Yowefl b the last listing. Any new lbtings or ones which have been changed since September 1 are shown in the directory with "all-nUmbers”, 987 preceding the telephone number instead of Yu 7. This does not involve any technical change since the dialing of the numbers represents the same as dialing the letters. “All-number calling" (ANC) system of numbering provides for 800 dialing combinations as compared to 540 combinations with the two letters and five numbers. Mr. Lindsey stated that these additional dialing combinations are needed ip «he large and fast growing network of direct distance dialing. As necessary, all numbers in die Speriyville exchange will be changed to the prefix 987.

The concert opentd with a stirring account of the creation with narration and back ground music. It then progressed through the Old and New Testaments. All of the musical selections were bridged by selected scripture passages spoken by the entire choir or solo narration. The music was new and refreshing as many of the selections were written especially for this choir by Texas composers. The audience was also privileged to hear Handel’s “Thanks Be To Thee” and Palestrina’s “We Adore Thee.” A special feature following the sacred concert was a medley of tunes from the Broadway musical “Brigadoon.” There were other secular songs in the form of a love duet, trio and an outstanding solo, “Shadrack, Meshack And Abednego,” sung by Olen Massey. The three hundred who braved the cold weather were thoroughly warmed by the spirit and musicanship of the young College group under the direction of Miss Martha Barkema. The members of the choir were also warmed by the fine spirit the Rappahannock people showed them.

Woodward, Marshall farmer, this week announced his candidacy for the House oi Delegatees, representing Fauquier and Rappahannock Counties, subject to the July Democratic Primary. Mr. Woodward said, as a farmer I am personally concerned with the problems of the farmers and businessmen in the District. Farming is the basis for our economy ; when the farmer prospers then the whole business economy prospers. I am aware of the problems of schools, employment, taxes, roads and production and marketing in agriculture confronting the* residents of Fauquier and Rappahannock Counties, and 1 earnestly solicit the support of every person who is interested in the future of our counties. If elected., I will, work for the needs and represent the wishes of all the people of my District.” Mr. Woodward is 39 years old, and was reared at Clarendon Farm near Marshall, Fauquier County. He is the son of Clemma S. and the late Lambert E. Woodward. .

LATHAM, Managing Editor Entered as Second Class Mail at the Post Office at Washington, Va. SUBSCRIPTION (in advance) —-$2.50 PER YEAR The Economic Crisis Of all the problems facing President Kennedy and his brave new administration, the economic recession promises to be the mbst difficult to ^blve. ^ *f*he reasons for this are basic and, as a practical matter, the methods of solving them are almost impossible. We- have today a labor inflation that is reflected in the non-competitive price of our national product. This "inflation occurred during the 15 post-war boom years when powerful labor demanded and profit, thirsty .management conceded to unrealistic spiraling wage scales. For 15 years product demand absorbed this labor, inflation. Now produc~ tion has exceeded demand and what is the result? ^ There are over one million cars held by dealers in inventory for just one reason: the price is too high. There are 6 million unemployed people in the United States because the price of what they produce is too high. My wife buys very attractive shirts at a local store for our boys. They are made in Hong Kong. Meanwhile Blue Bell closes down to a three day week. I buy barbed wire for my farm. Its made in Belgium. Toys are from Western Germany and Japan. Steel comes from Britain and Sweden. The better clothes come from Italy. The rate of flow of American capital to foreign countries is at the rate of 3 billion dollars per year. This not only figures in our gold outflow. Obviously it also accounts fo* increasing foreign competition. Sperry-Rand will no longer build typewriters (except electric ones) in the Unitea States They’ll be built overseas. Singer makes all of its sewing machines in Scotland, and ships them to this country. Unfortunately, its cheaper that way. The trend is before us. How can the Kennedy Administration reverse it? The International Garment Workers Union has asked for a higher tariff on foreign made clothes. Funny, high tariff, the friend of capital years ago should now become the friend of labor. But of course, high tariff is no solution. You can’t live by yourself, economically. You got to compete. A large electrical workers local m Chicago had another answer. Taking note of the di.op in rto membership from 47,000 to 23,00, it served notice on several employing corporations that, as of May 1st; no member of tne hnion wotiid work on appliances using Japanese made com~ ponents. Again an attempt to side-step competition can on y lead to a greater evil: the manufacturer will build the entire appliance in Japan and ship the finished product to the United States. No one wants to see the standard of living of the American worker go down, But the price of our products must return to a competitive level. To do this we must either have more automation or lower wage scales. Both have been fought by the unions, historically and we can expect them to continue to do so. And who can deny the political debt Mr. Kennedy owes to organized labor. On Mowing Machine ' Pruning Articles in recent agricultural publications on pruning apples and peaches with mowing machine type gadgets stimulated curiosity. As a result your County Agent wrote Dr. Howard A. Rollins, Extension Horticulturist^ior more information on the rtjachines themselves and the practicality of employing this method. • ' “Jack” as fw is known to most of our fruit growers, wrote a reply which I am sure will be of interest to our Rappahannock growers: “I have beben following the development of various pieces of power pruning equipment with a great deal of interest because I am a firm believer that we will see some revolutionary changes in the mechanization of four fruit operations in the near future. However, apparently the publicity that has surrounded the mowing machine type of pruning equipment has exceeded the practicality of such equipment, at least to date. Michigan State University does have one such piece of equipment, but from all I can gather they have done a limited ■ amount of research with the equipment with respect to response of the tree to such pruning. While 1 have never seen one in operation, I understand that equipment similar to that they have in Michigan is being used in citrus groves in Florida. The basic principle, as I understand it. is a series of rotary saw blades. “When I was in Michigan last spring, I had an opportunity to spend an hour or two with a man by the name of Friday who is a grower of both small and trfee fruits in Michigan and apparently a mechanical gpnius. He has developed several pieces of equipment which are in wide usage in several smalL fruit enterprises such as a Friday hoe for hoeing grapes, a mechanical mulicher for strawberries, etc. He also has developed a piece of equipment that can be used in' apple orchards to transport a man from tree to tree and throughout the tree while the man manipulates power pruning equipment. The" thing is sort of a tower on three wheels that can be driven from the top of the tower. This piece of equipment is being used somewhat in Michigan but is dependent upon relatively level land. “Mr, Friday discussed at some length with me, a pruning gadget similar to that used in citrus groves in Florida for apple trees and he Continued o* j\agt eight irginias Art By Leslie Cheek, Jr. Director, Virginia Museum of Fine Arts The nationally known director ct die State Mnaeum ienlliH die geeet masterpieces of ext in die Museum’* collections—the cultural heritage of all Virginiant.

The ancient Romans considered the rose the symbol of victory, pride and triumpant love. In the East the scent created from rose petals was one of the most desired. In Christian symbolism the red rose is the symbol of martyrdom and the white rose symbolized purity. The rose has had as great a fascination for painters as it has had for symbolists or for gardeners. Although its symbolic use in painting is of very ancient origin, It has also been a favorite with painters of still life, as in the painting of Andre Derain in the collections of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. In this painting Derain has exhibited a tenderness of sentiment ncl t.r be expected from his background, for he paralleled his training in painting with training as a boxer and as a competitive bicycle rider. Bom in Chatou, near Paris, in 1880, the young Derain was not allowed to devote himself wholly to painting until the objections of his parents had been overcome through the influence of Matisse, who had already had a certain success. Derain had studied at the Academic Carriere where he had ' met Matisse. In- Chatou he had also met Vlaminck, for Vlaminck used to go there to exercise on his bicycle. „ Matisse has left this description of Derain and Vlaminck, both of whom he saw at an exhibition-soon after this_“I saw Derain accompanied by a young giant who wasvoicing his enthusiasm in authoritattve tones and declaring that one 'must paint with pure vermilion, pure Veronese green and pure cobalt; Derain, I think, was a little afraid of him while observing his ardour and enthusiasm.” This “ardour and enthusiasm” for brilliant colors had been sparked by the Van Gogh exhibition of 1901 in Paris and rise a little later to a group of painters, including Derain, called by a critic,. “Les Fauvees” / the Savage^). But as early as 1908 Derain himself destroyed many of his Fauve pictures, Py 1914 Derain was beginning to receive eood prices for his painting and he was designing especially witty sets and costumes for rhe ballet. After his demobilization from the army in 1918 he devd-' oped a personal pictorial style of great individuality which remained a marie of his work throughout the rest of his life.

Peace Convention Of 1861 Day after tomorrow—February 4.—one hundred years ago—February 4, 1861—.one of Rappahannock’s most loyal citizens was in Washington, D. C. at the old Willard Hotel to meet with lepresentatives of 21 states to try : nd find a way to “resolve the differences between the North and South and avert war:” The Peace Convention lasted 23 days. j • A delegate to that Convention, Horatio Gates Moffett, of “Glenwood.” which is about a mile and a half from the town of Washington, Va., had gotten up early on February 3rd, had traveled to Calverton. Va. by horse and buggy where he took fhe train to Wash ington, D. C. He arrived in the Capitol late in the evening of February 3rd and was present at the opening meeting of the Convention on the fourth. It was always a source of great sorrow to rim that South Carolina, Miscissippi. Florida, A ha bam a, (ico:gia, Louisiana and Texas had ignored Virginia’s invitation to meet with them in an effort to save the Union and spare the country civil war. He voted against secession. Memb-is of his family say he came home wth a heavy heart—believing as did a great majority of die convention, that war cpuld have been averted except for the emotional fear and hatred that had developed in North and South. This fear and hatred he believed had personal ambitions—unscrupulous politicians.„_the press and alas— the oulpit. Horatio Gates Moffett, as a member of the1 Peace Convention, did ever) thing in his power to save the Union, but when Virginia seceeded, ht sent two of his three sons, the youngest only 16, to join the Confederate Army. Frank, the youngest, was killed at Yellow Tavern; Billy died several years after the close of the war of tuberculosis contacted in a Confederate camp. His family recorded that when he was a very old man he said, "I have pondered a lot about “patriotism". Hav- asked myself many questions. What is its full meaning_....how far does it go? “Patriotism".just how patriotic can—or should a man be?"

..Rappahannock First One-Room Country School . , , Lour m ntc M of frit A until boj takes in a wooden bench after it bad been used for visitors for tK« Friday afternoon ball fane at Mt. Salem School. According to the most reliable records, the. one room country school house, situated at the north end oi Long- Mountain and know as ‘‘Mt. Salem School" is the first rf its kind built in Rappahannock County. It is just a short distance from ‘‘Old Alt. Salem Church” atid is said jto have been built after the “Holtzman Private School”, which was in the same community as the church, yvas closed. A school for colored people, of practically the same size and design was built at the south end of Long Mountain. A survey of the whole .. country shows rhat the churches and schools were nearly always located close together and shared the same names. In Rappahannock it was Forest Grove Church and Forest Grove School, Oakley Church and Oakley School, Sycamore Church and Sycamore School. Always they were togethei. Those- who were active in the churches worked to build up the schools. The school teachers helped in the Sunday Schools and often led the “mid-week prayer meeting.” The Mt. Salem School enjoyed, . over a long period, a splendid record. Patrons were co-operative, and it has been said by many, that there were no really bad boys in the school, consequently it was never difficult to secure a teacher,, as was the case in some rural Schools^ The late George F. Kinsey of •^Jessamine Hill” was a member of the County School Board for a ; number of years, and took a great interest in the little schuof that was only a short distance from his home. At times the teacher stayed at “Jessamine Hill’’ and Mr. Kinsey’s grandson would go to and from school with her. Teachers could always count on Mr. Kinsey for help with any problems that might arise. Some of-the children rode to school.most of them walked. Bessie Rowles always arrived On the “Rowles donkey”_facing jts rear end,^explaining that she could use “the persuader" (a stout switch) better if she rode that way. Her arrival..._.and departure were great evehts of thf day. Among'the teachers who taught the three R’s at Mt. Salem were Miss Fannie Anderson, who boarded with the Shotwell family, going to her home on the Richmond Road for the weekend. Miss Elizabeth Harris, who stayed in the Kinsey home..._Miss Ma?es Dudley, who was with Mr. and Mrs. C. Dudley Wood at “Hillside” during the week and rode their much loved saddle horse, “Bird” to and from school. She recalls that she opened and shuit ten gates going to and from school and that hei classes were from the ABC group to the eightn grade. Other teachers were Miss Mary Bruce, who stayed at “Jessamine Hill” and Miss Louemma Carter who rode horseback from her home in town, (opening and shutting ten gates also), frequently taking up behind her on her horse a small boy who was walking to school. One snowy, windy day as they were riding along, snow caused the teacher to cough violently. The coughing over, she said to the small lad behind her, “O, please excuse me, Tommie.” O runted the boy. “Well you sure ain’t done nothin’ to me.” It was the custom with many schools to have a “Friday Program”. with school closings little early. Patrons and school officials were always welcome and sometimes came. The children recited..... acted in little plays and sang. Quite an effort was made to have every child participate in some way. ; At Christmas time and at the close of school there war. always a “treat”. One year a big candy making was decided upon for the closing day. The recipe selected called for pounds and pounds of brown sugar.grated chocolate_ fresh butter and heavy cream. The teacher was to bring the ‘•ugar and chocolate. The children were to crack the walnuts and bring the butter and cream. Large preserving kettle to make the candy in were borrowed, with other utensils, from Mrs. Updike at riie foot of rite hill, who also took care of the butter and cream in her spring house until needed. The day of the celebration and candy making, the teacher, instead of riding horse back to school, drove down in Mr. Will Oden’s new buggy wtih bags of sugar she had purchased from “Mr. Willy," an obliging clerk at Stuart’s Store, filling up the baggage compartment. "My, you sure are going to make a lot of candy,’’ said Mr. Willy, as he put the sugar in the back of the buggy. • When everything was ,-eady the sugar was opened, and to the horror of everyone, it was coarse white sugar......not the fine brown sugar that makes such lovely candy. It was really a tragic moment for all. It was too late to get the brown sugar.the candy had to be made with the coarse white sugar_or not at all. stead of brownto shrdlu cmfwypa “Ol”, wailed the teacher_why did Mr. Willy give me white sugar when 1 told him three times I Continued on page eight Birth Announced Mr. and Mrs. Hubie Gilkcy are receiving congratulations on the birth of a daughter, Kim Denise, born Friday, January 27 at Warren Memorial Hospital..

Your journey is .over, a job well done Behind you left your loved ones. Three grandchildren who loved you dear, No more your voice will they hear I told them not to fret or weep, Because you’re now it} God’s kcp. We miss you so much here, But for you there is no fear. We know you’re in God’s hands Above the clouds in that promised land. We still feel your closeness and the love on your face, You were a dear soul, God gave you such grace. You worked so hard with one thought in mind To help all mankind. In your footsteps we’ll try to keep. For God’s kingdom is what we seek. , When our life on earth is through We’ll come to heaven to join you.

He has planted his trees very close together and will handle them as a hedge. After talkwith Mr. Friday, I am nearly convinced that when a practical piece of pruning machinery is developed he will be in the lead. “I do not know of any outfit that is producing the equipment we are alking about for apple orchards and I believe it is premature to consider the demonstration of such equipment but on the other hand, I think that we should keep our eyes open and as soon as anything develops which would be even remotely practical, we should try to get it in front of the growers in order that they might pass their iudement on it. “Personally, Bill, l think that one of the major problems that is likely to be involved with equipment that would merely prune apple trees similar to a hedge or cut off everything that extends past a certain point, is that this would have a tendency to stimulate mule tail type growth on the ends of each terminal cut back and that the mass effect after a year or two might be to have a heavy mantle of growth shading the inner portions of the tree. It might be, How evtp, that a person could get awav with it once every few years with more conventional type punin-? during the intervening years. While completely mechanical pro: ers and completely mechanic: !, harvesters and similar equipment rvtv not be availabje at the present time I do believe that such equipment is definitely in the offering and that fruit growers would do well in attempting to anticipate mechanization when th'1 err?1''>'h new plantings and try to establish orchards that would leH selves to increased mechan z * *1.

SOYBEANS Don’t be in a hurry to sell soybeans. The present price flurry has a lot of speculation in it, but there is a solid shortage of beans world-' wide, and there will be some peaks above what we have already seen.
