Rappahannock was still digging out tiom the week before snow when the new storm struck. All activity a-.id traffic was at a standstill. Secondary roads were completely impassable. The main highways weie barricaded at times by the wind-driven snow, despite the efforts of the Highway Department aided by privately owned equipment and operators. The individuals lending a hand with - dozers, graders etc were Wallace Critzer,Lewis Moore, Robert L. Hickcrson, and Albert Wines.

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 as Second Class Mail at the Post Office at Washington, Va, SUBSCRIPTION (in advance) —..$2.50 PER YEAR irginias Art By Leslie Check, Jr. Director, Virginia Museum of Fine Arts The nationally known director of the State Museum 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 during the Virginia Museum’s 25th Birthday year. Regency Taste and Royal Worcester EARLY 17TH CENTURY GLACIER When trade between the Western world and China was sufficiently well established for an easy flow of pioducts, one of those products most desired in the West was Chinese porcelain, for in all its centuiies of working with day the West had never developed so fine or so delicate a product from its kilns. The demand for porcelain -in Emope and in England became so great that rhany attempts were made to establish porcelain works, and rivalries grew so intense that potters who reputedly knew the secret of true porcelain were often bribed or even kidnapped by proprietors wishing to establish new factories. „ One of the most successful of the English factories was that founded at Worcester. Its date may be’casily fixed by the date of the lease tor the house where operations were to take place, May 16, 1751. By 1763 it was acknowledged to be the maker of die finest hard paste porcelain in England. In fact, some dealers had it shipped to France,, decorated and reimpoited to England as French ware! In 1738 the factory was purchased by a Mr. Flight, who had been the London agent, with his showroom at No. 2 Bread Street, London. He received a Royal patent (whence our term “Royal Worcester”) in 1788, and by 1739 * had taken Martin Barr as a partner. Bar. seems to have managed the factory in Worcester while Flight preterred the London showr room. And so by the lime Martin Barr’s son. Martin Barr, Jr., became a partner in 1807 we find the factory being called Barr, Flight and Barr while the London showroom was usually called Plight,' Ban and Barr. When Lady Nancy Astor gave the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts a pair of Royal Worcester glaciers. or ice cream servers in 1951, she not only gave two most beautiful pieces of Regency porcelain, but she also presented the Museum with a problem of dating its new acquisitions. There is a “B” impressed in the clay on the bottom of each glacier, a mark most fre quently used during the time wnen Martin Barr, Sr. alone was a partner, that is from 1783-1807, but other information indicates that they were made during the partnership of both Barrs with Flight, a,partnership which lasted from 1807-1813 Perhaps the Museum’s serv ers are best dated at 1807 when one could exepet a ccitain confusion because of the transition from one partnership to another. Whatever the date, the Museum’s glaciers reflect the Greek influence cm. the Regency taste with their freuuent use of the Greek frets and other ornaments in the painted decorative bands The influence of the PWnce Regent, himself, is displayed in the panels of painted shells, for it was he more than any e ther person who had established the seaside as a place of fashion. It was the custom with Barr, Flight and Barr to have its large pieces thrown on the wheel, rather than cast, and to reserve modeling tor the handles, a practice which is seen in the Museum’s glaciers. It was also the custom at the time for dessert service, of which these glaciers formed a part, to be extremely elaborate. There is a recoid, for example, of a dessert service made for the Princess Charlotte. It contained no less than six glaciers, called Warwick ice paiis on the original invoice, and they cost ten guineas each. The Museum’s glaciers are a *perfect'reco.d of an era of tastte, of the dining habits of our ancestors, and of the splendid porcelain created at Worcester. Old Papers Available To News Mrs. Minor Botts Lewis, Jr. of Spei ryville, Va. has made available to the Rappahannock News, through one of its corespondents, a number of aid iicwsjjapers of the Civil War period. Several are dated 1859. > The paper, yellow with age but in fair condition, were among the papers of Mrs. Lewis’ husband’s grandfather, the late D. S. Lewis of Auburn, Culpeper County, who at one lime published a paper in Harrisonburg, Va. Among die papeis; carefully saved for over a hundred years are: Daily Richmond Examiner; Daily Dispatch, published jn Richmond. Morning News; Richmond Daily Whig; the Daily Richmond Enquirer and the Virginia Citizens, Harrisonburg, Va. . Much of interest concerning die "tragic era” is recorded, and die Rappahannock News will from time to time reprint some of the articles, feeling sure they will be :njoyed by its readers. Confederate Steam Shin Rappahannock by Loutmma Moffett Part II The one hundred Confederate seamen, otficers and crew, of the Confederate steamship Rappahapnock, encountered many vexing situations while they were detained at the port of Calais, France, waiting for their , ship to be equipped for service as a man-of-war. The Confederate Navy was young_so were its officers and sailors. In the early days of the „ war, President Jeffersoh Davis realized the great need of instruction for midshipmen, The great naval powers of the earth were giving particular caie to the education of their officers, more than tvSt now, as great changes were being introduced in every field of naval warfare. j Officers were appointed from civil life_often not even possessing the vocabulary of their profession. Often they were sent to vessels or batteries where it was impossible for them to obtain a knowledge of its most important branches, which can be best, if not only acquired by methodical study. To meet the need, the steamer Patrick Henry was fitted up and organized as a school-ship and anchored in the James River. From this school came the officers of the Confederate Navy. But it takes time to tiain naval officers for effective service especially jn a foreign land and the young officers and the crew of the Rappahannock became much discouraged. After repeated setbacks the Flag Officer wrote his commanding officer that the French Government’s action in detaining his ship was “unexplained and unjustifiable’’— that he and all those connected with the Rappahannock had violated none of the laws of neutrality— nor the lights of hospitality.—that all of their actions since entering the harbor of Calais had been open and above board, with the full authority and knowledge and consent fit the authorities of Calais. The officer and crew of the Rappahannock felt that they had selected a splendid place to meet the Geoigii—"a fine cut of the way harbor on the coast of Morocco.secure from the notice of all Europeans’’ and when they were prevented again from sailing after several attempts they were very disappointed and demoralized. There was sickness among the men_a shortage of coal, even at the highest price which was always paid in cotton. All transactions, were based and dependent upon the cotton belonging to the Government. Transacting business was most difficult, and consumed much time. In addition there were the usual and ever • present and dishonest “War Contractors”, “Special Agents”, “Political Favorites” with their special axes to grind. -These, ever ready to feather their nests, in times of war at the expense of those who “bore the burden and heat of battle.” It had ever been thus. A shipment of clothes, that had been looked forward to with great interest, was received—was found too small for the men and couldn’t be used by them! The seamen asked to go home— to be transferred. A few reached home—tnanv never did. Source of information: Official Records of the Union and Confederate Navies during the War of the Rebellion, published under the direction of the Hon. Josephus Daniels, Sect, of the Navy. Attend Grand Lodge .

Washington WMS Meeting The regular February meeting of the Woman’s Missionary Society of Washington Baptist Church was held Tuesday at the church with a very good attendance. Mrs. W. C. Campbell, who has had charge of'the Febiuary meeting for several years, presented a program that covered much ground with emphasis on the region from Florida to Alaska. Let s Travel, she said, and continued, “In the year 1613, a voyage t rom the new world to Europe took about three months. Recently a traveler left London at one in the afternoon and at threethirty, New York time, was in New Yoik. Actually the flight was about seven jet hours but by some “sleight-of- hand” this amazing thing happened. Our program today vyill enable WMS members to visit Europeans here in America in less than one hour’s tune. Our calling list will include Italians, Russians and Spaniards. Scripture reading, which was by the entire group, related to the “Heart” and passages from the Book of Mathew and Proverbs were read from red hearts, pointing to the fact that every period including the Valentine Season, can be used by those who believe in “Witnessing Where You Are.” Mrs. B. R. Cox gave a most informative talk. Her subject: “Advance or Retreat.” It was a call to action on alcholism. A social hour follov.cd the business session which was conducted by Mis.

To Run For Virginia Senate When Seat Vacated Warrcnton, Va., reb. l>Hubert B. Phipps, of Recto rtown, publisher end livestock grower, said today that he intends to run for the Virginia Senate if and when' Senator Robert Y. Button resigns from office. Mr. Button, who is senator from the district made up of Culpeper, Fauquirf and Loudoun counties, is a candic^te for Virginia attomeygenerai. He is thus fai unopposed for the Dunocratic nomination. ■ “Since Mr. Button seeks another office,” Mr. Phipps said, “there is more than a possibility that die office of State senator will be open. In this case, a new senator will be chosen at ?. special election. When an election is called, I definitely will be a candidate.’’ “I am a lifelong Democrat,” Mr. Phipps said. ‘‘I have worked hard for the party on local, state and national levels. I am not committed to any candidates. Individually and as a newspaperman, I intend fully, now and in the future, to support the nominees of the Democratic party.” Mr, Phipps is publisher of The Fauquic; Democrat, Warreirton, president of The Loudoun TimesMirroi, Leesburg, and publisher of a farm magazine, The Livestock Breeder-journal, published at Warrcnton and Macoi^Ga. He is a member of the Fauquier County Democratic Committee, and the executive committee of the Virginia Democratic Central Committee. He is a former member of the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors. “It is premature to discuss a campaign,” Mr. Phipps said. “But I stand 100 per cent for the sovereignty of the States, including the State’s right to operate its public school system as it sees fit.” Mr. Phipps has played a prominent role in many civic, farm and charitable organizations. He has a commercial cattle herd and thoroughbred breeding establishment at his kockburn Farm, Rectortown. He is an (Episcopalian, and is married to the former Lady Phoebe Pleydell-Bouverie. They have two children.

Health organizations like the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis and the American Cancer Society have shared in the treasure of the Wishing Well in past years. This j ear, a check for $14,218.86 has gone to the American Heart Association which in turn presented it to the Virginia Heart Association. This check represented more than a half a million coiR) dropped into the Wishing Well during a 3-year period by over a million visitors to Luray Caverns. The check was accepted for Heait by 7-year-old Debbie and Donna Horst of Philadelphia, the 1961 Heart Fund Sweethearts for the campaign this month. These little girls are identical blond twins who experienced successful heart surgery or. the same day. About half of the $14,218.86 supplied by "Well Wishers” will be used for heart research. This type of research is directed toward the .development of techniques for various heart operations and treatmerits, and development of new drugs for heart patients. A portion of the money will be used to advance programs of heart education, and another portion will be used to finance community service. Community service includes reha- - bilitation c-f cardiacs and other re-« lated programs to make life better for the cardiac and thus ior society as a whole. Many Wishing Well dollars will be used to finance heart research at the Medical College of Virginia and the University of Virginia School of Medicine.

RCHS reopened on Tuesday, 14th, after another week of sno-li-days. Our biggest news this week is the fact that we are going to school. Fortunately we managed to sandwich our exams in between snows so report cards are out today. Guess that’s good news and bad news for some. . Mrs. Moffett is still welcoming any magazines with good educational articles in them. The basketball tournament is to be played at Osborne High at Manassas instead of Madison as previously reported. Dates are Thursday, Friday and Saturday of next week, weather permitting, I guess. In basketball, we have a busy schedule this week. We played Handley Tuesday, and I might add, we lost—-both boys and JV. Wedne sday we played Nokesville. Our girls won—-boys lost. Don't miss the Sock Hop which will be held after the ballgame with Madison. It is sponsored by the Junior Class and* is the first one held this year.

Patrols of 12 different municipal transportation lines tossed “tokens” along with their wishes, together with a miscellaneous collection of sun-glasses, combs, ballpoint pens, dog tags, poker chips, and assorted charms. Kennedy buttons outnumbered Nixon buttons by four to one L The 504,144 reclaimeiKAmerican coins have been put back into circulation by the Federal Reserve Bank_ready to help make other wishes come true. If these coins were stacked one on tep of the other, they would make a column taller than a 40-story building. But value is what counts.
