Shirley MacLaine, A Granddaughter Of Rapplc No matter which way you look at her, this week’s cover girl (Life Magazine) is Shirley MacLaine in Japan practicing her dual role for the movie, “My Geisha.” Friends and relatives of Shirley - - in Rappahannock Countftre never surprised when they hear about her undertakings. ‘’She seems to be able to fit in ! anywhere,” a friend was heard to remark. “The movie people seem to think so too. She was selected to receive Khrushchev”, was the remark of another. Life, February 17,1961 devoted seven pages to the East-West meetings. Rappahannock County claims Shirley as its “Granddaughter.” Her grandmother, the late Ada Partlow Beatty, was bom and reared in the county and at one time taught in die little one-room school at Mt.

Leaders for the project will be Mr. Wallace Russell, Mr. Raymond Sutphin and Mr. Eddie Sutphin. The 4-lH Tractor program is designed to teach young men to be safe and intelligent machine operators. They are given the opportunity by the “learn by doing” process to properly operate and maintain tractors and other farm machines. Therefore, the 4-H Tractor Maintenance project should be a natural for all farm boys in the county,. The expanded use and need of tractors in the county, combined with increased costs of tractors makes any program to reduce tractor costs important to farmers. The 4-H tractor program helps by teaching members proper care of farm machines. Proper care not only reduces operating costs but repair costs and the inconvenience of having the tractor in the shop when there is work to be done.

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 Poat Office at Washington, Va. SUBSCRIPTION (in advance)___... 12.50 PER YEAR —--——-*4 Problem Number Two - I r \ The problem of containing international communism appears to be, if we might quote a phrase, the second first most important thing facing the Kennedy Administration. Since the end of World War II, our primary defense rgainst communistic expansion has been economic aid to backward or,depressed areas. The modest and temporary Marshall Plan of President Truman grew into the annual three to four billion dollar foreign aid programs set out in eight years of the Eisenhower budgets. When we look at Laos and the Congo, Viet Nam and Guinea and above all, Tito's Yugoslavia, we wonder just how worthwhile this spending program has been. Certainly it appears that Germany, Italy and1 Japan, without our economic assistance, and in fact, each with reparations to pay and a ruined country to rebuild, have progressed further along the road toward political and economic stability than any of he backward countries into which we have poured billions of American dollars. Now whether or not our aid was worthwhile becomes a moot question. The fact is that with'our deep recession at home and a serious imbalance of gold flow abroad, it is no longer feasible for the United States to continue buying foreign stability. Unless our former enemies will take up where we left off, and that seems unlikely, foreign aid is out. and a new diplomatic approach must be found. It’s time for another agonizing reappraisal. When you consider that eight years ago 157,530 American casualties were sustained in- Korea to contain world wide communism and keep it 1500 miles from our shore, only to see within the past twelve months this same communism take over in Cuba, 90 miles from our shore, it is high time' that our diplomatic approach to the problem of containing communism underwent a serious reappraisal. > RC-B.J r. lrgmias t By Leslie Cheek, Jr. Director, Virginia Museum of Fine Arts i ■ .1 ' ■ ■ c The nationally known itnclof of the State Museum At great masterpieces of ait in die Museum’s rnlliTtiraii the enltmJ heritage of all Virginians. This is one of a series of strides which wfll appear each week during the Virginia Museum's 25th Birthday year. Painter, Collector and Advisor mmmm. “rHl BAXJO LEM ok” *T MAJtr CASIATT A painter may become rich, but he is rarely born rich- A painter may advise purchases of his own canvases and frequently does, (wt he rarely advises collectors to such -an extent about the work of others fhat their collections become the__ pride of great museums. If these two qualities should happen to be combined in a painter, it is even more rarely that his paintings are of first-rate quality. Mary Cassatt (1846-1926) was that rarest of all painters—rich from birth, the trusted adviser of great collectors, and an artist of absolute first rank. Mary Cassatt was a Philadelphian whose father’s fortune was in railroads. When she was twentythree and rather bored with drawing casts at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts (young ladies were not often allowed to draw from the life model at that time, or, if they were, the model wa* masked!) die told her family die intended to go to Paris to study. Her father said to her, “I would rather see you dead," but go she did and in a few years she was one of the very few pupils of Degas. By 1874 die had exhibited in the Salon, by 1878 she had begun to buy from the Impressionists for her own collections and in 1879 Degas put her work in the 4th Impressionist Exhibit. She exhibited again in the 5th Impressionist Exhibit and the 6th Impressionist Exhibit. By 1881, Mary Cassat had found her favorite subjects which were those she had used in the paintings die sent to die 6th Impressionist ^Exhibit— women and children, interiors and garden scenes. "The Banjo Lesson,” a purchase for the collection of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts from-the Williams Fund, it such a printing, or rather pastel, for like her master, Degas, she worked in both oils and pasteis. It was painted about 1894 and is a brilliant statement of a fleeting moment of childhood concentration. It is not known who the models were, but there is a striking resemblance between the child and the 18% portrait of Electra Havemeyer, the daughter of one of the two collectors for whom Miss Cassatt acted as adviser. Mary Cassatt' and Mrs. Henry O. Havemeyer had been childhood friends and while Mrs. Havemeyer was only twenty-two and studying in Paris, die was guided in the purchaes of a Degas (for only $100.00) by Mary Cassatt. wnen Mr. tiavemeyer organ to be a serious collector, he and his wife turned to Mary Cassatt for constant advice, and die not only helped tliem in their purchases of old masters, but persuaded them to buy many of the finest Impressionists paintings which were ever brought into this country. Perhaps Miss Cassatt’s scale of livng—her maids, her car, her chauffeur, her gardener_gfc.ve Mr. Havemeyer confidence in her judgment. Mrs. Potter Palmer was another collector who knew and allowed herself to be advised by Miss Cassatt, for she bought her first Impressionist painting under Miss Cassatt’s tutelage in 1889.

Mr. Frank Dawson, hospital administrator, expressed again the appreciation of the hospital board, staff, as well as himself, for the work of the pink ladies. He said, "We couldn’t get along without you." He also thanked them for their gift of $1,000 which made possible the purchase of orthopedic equipment which has already been put to use in between 30 or 40 orthopedic procedures. He said they were trying to work out an insurance policy which would cover the ladies while on duty at the hospital should an accident occur. The hospital has received national recognition for its enviommental control program and has not yet had a case of hospital borne infection_an unusual record of which he is very proud.

-^Ayoung generation at work planting Idle land to young trees, in order to help provide forest products for their needs in the future. ■ ■ ■ - If you have any land suitable for the planting and growing of forest trees, contact your county chief for, ' est warden or area forester of the Virginia Division of Forestry for more infomation. EXTRA - EXTRA j By Ed News is a little more plentiful this week. Was beginning to think that tj»e two vacuum cleaner salesmen who have been in town swept all thi news away. Anyway the ladies around town have been swept off their‘feet by them. One lady told them on her first encounter, “there’s no soap here.”, but by the next morning she was calling around looking for them and purchased the works. Another of our fair ladies informed die boys when they called that she did not want to buy a thing but would allow them fifteen minutes of her time for them to demonstrate. She, too, bought the works. They must be super salesmen. Oh well, they say it’s a ladies privilege to change her mind. t # * • * . Home Service in Washington now has an automatic telephone answering device installed at their shop. If you call for service when they are out on another call, you leave your name and message, which is recorded on a tape. Whert they return they play hick the tape and answer your call. Isn’t this age of giutomotion remarkable and fascinating? • • * • A local fellow is really up in the clouds these days. He was hauling road material for the state to the Middleburg vicinity when he met two ladies on horses. They waved to him as they passed. One of them was none other than Mrs. Kennedy. Don’t think that fellow’s feet have hit the ground since. He said she was most beautiful. • • • • My apologies to the excavating firm of Moore, Kelly and Reddish in Culpeper for omitting them from the list of the equipment used for snow removal in this county. Moore, Kelly and ReddiA had four bulldozers and one big loader in operation here. They came to help clean up one anow when the two-day blizzard swept in on us, and they stayed until the last road and drift was cleaned up. I might also mention that Gip Whorton at Hampton Inn and Service Station opened his house for the weary men working on the roads "to get some sleep after pulling long hours on the job. One man told me he worked 52 hours before resting. X am sure there were many more such thoughtful and helpful acts _ by others, about which I have not heat'd. • • * • RCHS Home Ec girls are putting to use some of their training these days. They are busy sewing numbers on the boys basketball uniforms. Some of the shirts had large numbers on them and have to be replaced with digits under 5 so the referees can signal the numbers with their fingers when a foul is called on a player. A recent ruling makes it illegal to have numbers above five and a technical foul can be called in such case. • • • • ’Sno news like snow news-. Richard Burke told me a week ago that the name of the recording “North To Alaska” had been changed._Now it’s “South To Alaska” 11 Someone made the remark, “after this snow melts, there is no telling what will come crawling out. One official’s business has been rather dull these days. He said the weather had been so bad that folks couldn’t even get out to commit a crime. / • • • • Ip the days when a. woodshed stood behind a typical American home, a great deal of what now passes for juvenile delinquency was settled out of court. | Tree Seedlings To ' * Be Delivered Forest fires for the last two months are at an all time low, “thanks to the snow,” quoted D. G. Wilfong, District Forester. On the serious side, though, the Virginia Division of Forestry has problems, even with no forest fires, in other phases of work with the snow blanketing the ground. 55,000,000 forest tree seedlings must be delivered and planted during the next eight to ten weeks. Orders for seedlings are at an all time high and conservation minded 4 landowners are ordering trees daily i despite the snow problem. Wilfong stated that although the trees cannot be delivered or planted at this * time, tlie two state tree nurseries are “geared” to handle 'the trees when the weather breaks. The tree nurseries will be working seven days a week and two shifts a day if necessary to make sure the tree seedling* are delivered to the land owners as requested during March and April. The District Forester invites all persons interested in reforestation, who have not yet ordered trees to do so. The orders will be handled although the supply of some species are nearly exhausted. H Card Of Thanks We wish to thank those who have sent the'schol magazines and are still -interested in more mazazines. Mrs. Jean Moffett, Librarian of R.C.H.S.

-WConfederate Steam Ship Rappahannock h Louemma Moffett Part III Although the Confederate Steam Ship Rappahannock had never been able to operate on the high seas— had never had a gun arid had spent her time bottled up in the harbor of Calais, France, she was able to keep no less than three Yankee Men of War (believe it or not) occupied. On July 13, 1864 S. Barron, Flag Officer of the Rappahannock wrote to the Hon. S. R. Mallory, Secretary of the Confederate Navy, “In the course of this week I hope to have the pleasure of reporting the Rappahannock at sea... ,She is strictly watched by Federal cruisers in the channel: Kearsarge at Dover; Niagra at, or off, Cherbough and Sacramento off Ushant. This disposition of the enemy’s ships increases the risks and affords decided chances of capture, but if we be permitted to leave port, with the number of officers and men on board, I shall assuredly encounter all the chances and risfa, knowing your anxiety and the great importance of keeping a sufficient number of vessels afloat.” The men were eager to go to sea. The information that the Iroquois was at Brest also watching them and the fact that there would be only three or four hours of darkness all combined to render the chance of escape—even if she got out, doubtful. Later the. Flag Officer wrote to the Secretary, “The Rappahannock’s case is far from being an exception.” The loss of the Alabama did not help the spirit of the sailors._but they were still anxious to be out of the harbor of Calais. The Secretary of the Navy wrote the Commanding Officer, “Circumscribed, watched, and opposed as we are, fighting as it were the (European world, we must surrender to expediency some of our views. If we cannot get whOtwe want, let us do the best we can. Du not. w# jfo^imtfurtiops^-da, the best you cad 4kader*%he arauif ■ stances." Ships afloat were throwing over _ board their cotton to escape capture_Cotton that was to be used to buy clothing and provisions. The Flag Officer S. Harron, in spite of many misunderstandings, never failed to believe that the French Government was friendly to the Confederacy. On December STOP! AT THIS SIGN tREMlU* Moroni J. Bradley Atkins ' ATLANTIC Service Station SPERRYV1LLE, VA. LR. Waters Atlantic Refining Co. CULPEPER, VA. 15, 1863, he wrote to the Hon. S. R. Mallory, “My impression is that this Government is as friendly to us as the Government of Great Britain is hostile—They will see nothing that they are not positively made to look at.” He always trusted the Emperor Louis Napoleon. An entry in his diary shows that he had reason to. “Last evening received a note from Mr. S. (Slidell) telling me that he had news about the Rappahannock and asking me to come up. On seeing him, learned that the Emperor had ordered the Rappahannock to be permitted to leave French waters. I saw the autographed letter of His Majesty to Persigny in which he states he has given the order. Dispatched Whittle to inform Fauntleroy and tell him to be ready and not to return into a French port if it be possible to avoid doing so. 1 telegraphed to Bulloch and also wrote him. His Majesty’s note said the American Minister must not know it.” Since the American Revolution when Lafayette was entertained in a number of Virginia homes, most cordial relations had existed between a number of Virginia families and die French. It was most gratifying to the Flag Officer to believe in their friendship. Source of information: Offficial Records of the Union and Confederate Navies in the War of the Rebellion.

Twenty Years Ago Jn Rappahannock February 22,1941 Foxhunten of “yesteryear1” kept up with each other j“from coast to coast”, but there was perhaps a closer personal tiej between the lovers of the chase in Virginia and Kentucky than therie was between foxhunters in any j of the ; other states. Efcrly in 1941 the Editor of “The Chase”, a “full cry” of hunt-! ing published in Lexington, Kentucky, wrote a member of the Rappahannock Hunt urging the Hunt Club to celebrate George Washington’s birthday with an unusually “big hunt” and! to send “The Chase” an account |of it, as they were always interested in fox hunting stories and were particularly interested in a story from Washington, Virginia on Washington’s birthday. J. E. Keyser, W. A. Miller and Jr. were Joint Masters of the Rappahannock 'Hounds at die time, and with the cooperation of the other members of the club arranged a hunt in honor of the "Father of His Cottntry” that is well and pleasantly remembered by all who were fortunate enough to participate. A good car and a good driver, well acquainted with ‘‘foxhunting via automobile, wasi provided for the reporter who was to let friends in Kentucky kinow all about it. Kentucky friends were most appreciative. The account of the hunt Chase”, Lex:wenty years as published in “The ington, Kentucky ago follows: Following an old custom, Rappahannock foxhunters celebrated George Washington’^ birthday with a joint meetj Hunt club hounds, and hounds owned by John F. Kinsey of “Jessamine Hill” and W. F. Moffett, Jr., made up the pack. The merits of the individual hounds “bringing on quite a lot of talk” before and after the Hunt. This was followed by the traditional "breakfast” at Mt. Prospect, the home of W. A. Miller, Master of the Rappahannock Hounds, and Mrs. Miller, to which the countryside and a number of additional guests were invited. Aside from the usual reasons and the fact that “The Father of His Country" was a greiat foxhunter himself .lovers of the chase in Rappahannock County have especial reasons for celebrating February 22. I Wasn’t their county seat, “The First Washington of All,” surveyed and platted by George Washington with the assistance of John Lonem and Edward Corder, chairmen, on August 4, 1749 and framed for the young; suvreyor? The town marker testifies to the fact and so real__and infinitely dear are these traditions connecting George Washington with Rappahannock County—that it takes little imagination for it’s foxhunters_^specially it’s old timers.—out for a genuine George Washington birthday celebration tjo hear “Old Vulcan” leading the pack in “full cry” and see the General himself— riding hard on Blueski'n. The field was a little later than usual moving off, as the time for the meet had been changed to suit the convenience of members of the Potomac Hunt, who were guests. High wind all Friday night and until 5 ajn. Saturday eliminated the chances of picking up an old trail, and the hounds_cast on the sbutjt end of the C. J. Miller place near the river, hunted well the “Peyton Place”; “Jessamine Hill" and the “Tom Kinsey Place”, before striking the trail of a red on the south <!n|d of Long Mountain. From here die chase led north, the fox keeping to the crest of the mountain. Breaking cover at the north end of Long, the Red turned east—crossed the large body of rolling farm land that lies between Long and Round Mountain. Crossing this area. _-.the field and many hounds, pink coats adding color, presented a perfect piece of hunting pageantry. ' Reaching Round, the fox circled the mountain, turned east, crossed the farm of R. C. Brooks and went to Chappalier, taking the west side of the mountain. From there the chase led to Aron’s Mountain, from there back to Lpng where Reynard was run to earth within 15 yards of the place where he was jumped. Among those from a distance here for the George Washington Day Hunt were Dr. and Mrs. James-Greer, Mr. and Mrs. Stephen M. Walter, Billy Hetzler, Commander J, IS. Lee, USN and Mrs. Lee, Mr. and Mrs. J. Altemus, Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Durant,, Mrs. Julia Yates Blunt, Miss Ely Riley, Miss Mary IHunt and Miss Frances Dudley all of Washington, D. C.

MATHEWS Bentonville, Virginia Phone Front Royal ME 5-8510 Weekly Farm Price Outlook CATTLE parked by USDA lopping about five million 'head from January 1 cattle estinfates, slaughter prices should pull out of the present short time seasonal dip during the next two pr three weeks, and continue on up to April-May peaks. Revising estimates based on census figures, the Crop Reporting Service last week cut its January numbers from 101.5 million to 96.2 million. The January 1, 1961 es timate is placed at 97,139,000 for all cattle_up one per cent from the revised year earlier number. Compared to revised Januay 1, 1960 figures, the estimte on January 1, 1961, shows dairy cattle down one per cent, but beef catttle up two per cent for the nation. Tire breakdown shows beef cows up two per cent, heifers the same, calves up one per cent and steers up four per cent. There is nothing in these figures to indicate anything like a bust in cattle prices this year. Plotted against former years, the Candied Cherry Bread Food la always fun. And. between-meal eating can be a common sense sort of pleasure, too. With a little. thought, snacks and goodies can be made a part of your daily food plan for health. Candied Cherry Bread tastes Just as good as it looks, even pixrr if you prefer, you may spread it with.butter or margarine or with softened cream cheese. In any case, you re sure of a generous contribution of needed nutrients calcium, niacin, riboflavin, thiamine and food iron. You’ll like this easy-to-make recipe'for Candied Cherry Bread. It calls for self-rising flour which saves you time in measuring because it already contains the needed baking powder and salt. Self-rising flour insures failure-free results, too, because the baking powder has been scientifically proportioned by the miller. You can. use self-rising flour to make biscuits, muffins, cakes, cookies, qrncki coffee cakes, and other baked products in recipes calling for-ljaking powder. Just omit the baking powder and salt from thJjfecipe when you use self-rising flour. CANDIED CHERRY BREAD g caps sifted enriched selfrising flour Yi cup sugar 1 cup chopped candied cherries •/, cup chopped nuts 1 egg, slightly beaten <4 cup salad oil 114 cups milk Sift together flour and sugar. Mix in cherries and nuts. Combine egg, oil and milk. Pour into flour mixture and stir Just enough to moisten flour. Turn into greased 3% x 9*4-inch loaf pan. Bake In moderate oven (350°F.) about 1 hour and 10 minutes. Cool a few minutes before turning from pan. This loaf slices best when completely cooled. Makes 1 loaf. We Can.

Phone: VA 6-8013 CULPEPER, VA. K'l ' . K figures indicate producers are doing what hog and broiler producers have done, staying in the business and smoothing out ups and downs and adjusting faster to the supply and demand situation. There’s some evidence too of generally increased demand as a factor in the prices of all three major meat items. If you have cattle on feed, don’t panic over the price dip. If you have feed, hold them, unless they will go too heavy. By too heavy, figure over 1,200 pounds. - For the coming year, feeder calf prices this spring should be equal to or bettetr than last year, and considerably better than last fall. Feeders for immediate delivery on major markets are running within 25 or 50 cents of last year now, with undertones of strengtth. To give you an idea of what feeders think, dealers in Amarillo the week of February 4 were contracting 500 to 650-pound choice steers for March delivery at $24 to $26 and for July delivery at $22.25. But watch for signs of how the President’s new grain price support program will do in Congress. A jump in feed prices might take the steam out of demand for feeders. Slaughter cattle on Virginia auctions last week averaged $24.50 for good grade and $23 for standard, Virginia prices were generally about 75 cents lower for the week, with Chicago steady at 50 cents lower, particularly on lower grades. HAY If you have hay to sell, let it go. Take the $10 rise in price in the last few weeks and don’t gamble with the weather. Dealers in the Vally say hay is beginning tomove, with Number 2 leafy alfalffa bringing $40 to $45 to farmers, straight alfalfa $35 to $38, and clover-timothy mixes $23 to $27.
