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 Poat Office at Washington, Va. SUBSCRIPTION (in advance).- $2.W> PER YEAR irginia’s Art By Leslie Check, Jr. Director, Virginia Museum of Fine Aits The nationally known director of the State Museum Metafiles the great masterpieces of ait in the Museum’s collections—the cultural heritage rf all Virginians. This is one rf a series of articles which vrfll appear each week during the Virginia Museum's 25th Blrtlalsy year* Silver, Indians and Tea ■ BICIIARDSON OUUIOW Though more common than gold, silver has always been one of the most sought after metals for household use. In spite of the enormous amount of silverware of fine quality manufactured today, it is no longer practical to have the individual piece designed and made for the individual consumer. (It is said, moreover, that there is only one commercially productive si 1 v e rsmith, as opposed to the many craftsmen in factories, in the entire country now, and he is in Virginia. A high point in the production of silver by silversmiths in this country came at the end of the 18th and early part of the 19th Centuries when pieces with a great variety of designs were produced for individual buyers. This is not to say that the art of the silversmith was essentially of the 18th Century, for it is recorded by no less a personage than Captain John Smith that two goldsmiths, who were also workers in silver, arrived in Virginia in 1608. A Robert Sanderson, who came to Massachusetts in 1683, was the earliest ‘ilver^mith in this country, examples of whose work are known today'. As early as 1660 Boston found it necessary to regu-' late apprentices by a law which Specified “It is therefore ordered that no person shall henceforth open a shop in this Towne, nor occupy any manufacture ofscience till hee hath compleated 21 years of age, nor except hee hath served seven years Apprenticeship.” This law was especially necessary in the case of silversmiths, since they often served as local bankers as well as craftsmen, and needed the responsibility of both training and age. The first Philadlelphia silversmiths were established as early as 1693, and from that time on Philadelphia was one of the most important centers of the craft. A member of an important family of silversmiths was the maker of the Virginia Museums of ?F!ne Art’s creampot, purchased in 1952. This was Joseph Richardson, Jr.» (1752-1831). The creampot is marked JR twice on the opposite corners of the base. Our Joseph was the grandson of Francis Richardson who established the family business in Philadelphia. His two sons, Francis, Jr. and Joseph, were trained as silversmiths, but Joseph Richardson, Sr. inherited his father’s tools and business provided he remain with his mother and carry on the work at the shop until he was twenty-one. Joseph, Jr. was especially known for his Indian medals, but if we are to judge by the Museum’s creampot, with its urn shape, its high lip and strap handle, its beading on the rim and splayed foot, and its square plinth he was equally at home with some of the most sophistocated silver forms that have ever beenfnade. When one realizes that such a vessel had to be beaten or "raised” from a flat disc of silver, the skill of the craftsmfen becomes even more astonishing. $2.60 PER TEAS RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS Date..!__ NAME......R.

Magazines For RCHS As many people have asked me about the kinds of magazines requested by the high school, I should like to explain just which magazines we need, and for what we will use them. Such magazines as Time, Life, Look, Good Housekeeping, Holiday, Reader's Digest, McCalls, Ladies Home Journal, Newsweek, US. News and IVorld Report, Popular Science, Popular Mechanics, National Geographic, Outdoor Lift and any others containing pictures and articles on current events and people, which will be useful for future reference for reports and term papers by the pupils, are most acceptable. Also :.ny good up-to-date fiction, biography, or history books and books of animals, sports or teen age mystery and romance books, as Nancy Drew Mystery Storiees, Hardy Boys Series, and Tom Swift Series, which are no longer used at home and are in good condition, will be most gratefully received and used by students. Many people have been most kind in sending or bringing us magazines and we should like to thank them and let others who wish to send us their magazines and books know, they too, will be most acceptable. Jean B. Moffett, Librarian Ladies Auxiliary Organized 18 Years Do you know that the Ladies Fire Auxiliary of Washington, Va.. was eighteen years old on January 18th. Their initial purposes were to lend aid socially, physically and . financially to the firemen. (I feel free to comment only on the latter). According to the constitution, the dues were to be $1.20 a year. Everything else has gone up, but this is still the same bargain. Men were permitted to join but they were to have no voice in the “affairs relative to the auxiliary." This is still that same bargain! I • There were to be regular monthly meetings. This, too, is still true. Come and join our March 6th meeting at 7:30 p.m. in the bank building. The first president was Mis. Mary Partlow and the vice president was Mrs. L. V. Merrill. ; Other bits of historical intercut, gleaned from the archives of Fine Auxiliaria: always count 1 ^b. of turkey per person and 3 biscuits per person. This undoubtedly builds big, strong firemen.

Many home owners of the county have reported being pestered with hun dreds of flies since last fall. These flies have been found to be of three species: the common blow fly, the face fly and the cluster fly. Suggested control measurees listSuggested control measures are listed below, however,, none are fully effective as the flies continue to emerge from hibernation over a long period of time. “When cool weather forces insects to seek overwintering quarters. cluster flies (or attic flies), Pollenia ruris, appear in homes ana puDitc Duuaings. “Larger and more clumsy in flight than house flies, these insects bumble about houses during the warm days of autumn and through out the winter. They come in through cracks around screens, louvres and eaves of buildings, especially on sunny exposures. Because attics are less carefully sealed large numbers may gather there. Clusters sometimes include thousands of flies, “The cluster fly female lays single eggs in soil where earthworms are likely to be present. The maggot hatches and immediately enters the soil. It attacks the skin off an earthworm, burrows inside the body, and eats the internal organs of its host. The maggot feeds and grows for three to four weeks, generally killing the host. The fully grown larva leaves the worm and pupates beneath the surface of the soil. About a week later, the adult emerges to begin breeding activities. The total life cycle lasts 35 to 45 days. There may be from three to five generations per year. “The cluster fly is most easily distinguished from other flies by a combination of features. There are no definite lines on the thorax, and the black hairs in this area are sprinkled with very fine yellow fleece. The abdomen has irregular Continued on page eight Brush Burning Law Beginning March 1st through May ISth, open fires of any type are unlawful if within 300 feet of woodland or debris, except between the hours of 4.00 p.m. and midnight. With the approach of warm and windy weather in March, we should be especially careful of our burring at any time. Never burn until after 4:00 p.m.; have sufficient tools and help and be sure fire is out before leaving it unattended.

Palmer The Rappahannock Lions Club held its regular meeting at Hampton Inn Wednesday night, February 22. The meeting that was to be held on the second Wednesday was cancelled because of bad weather and the local 'Lions seemed to be rather glad to be back together again. Capt. Luther Stuart was unable' to be present so there was no official report on glasses collections, however, individual members reported that donations of old glasses were coming in quite well. We would like to say again that any and all old glasses can be used to an advantage through the Lions Clubs all over the world so please look through your things and donate those old glasses to the cause. It may be well to note that these old glasses that are being collected are not in any way connected with the glasses that are being provided to local school children through the Lions Club. These old glasses are sent to a national headquarters where all usable parts are salvaged and distributed through an International organization to all parts of the world. The recipients of these re-claimed glasses would not otherwise have glasses of any type. A large part of the discussion during the meeting was taken up with fund raising ideas and even though there was no definite fund raising schedule adopted, you may look forward to a drive for funds in the near future. As the scope of activities of the local club is broadened, there is an ever increasing need for money to meet the obligations. Please support your Lions Club for it means greater benefits to the community. We would also like to extend to the High School Basketball Teams our most hearty congratulations for their most successful season and hope that our efforts in improving facilities contributed in some measure to the wonderful achievements. The worst thing about history is that everytime it repeats itself the price goes up.

I am respectfully, ycur obedient servant, Gideon Welles Secretary of the Navy He also received the following letter: The Commonwealth of Virginia To Captain Samuel Barron ** Greetings, Know you, that from special trust and confidence reposed in your fidelity...courage ami good conduct, our Governor,_in persuance of the authority vested in him by the Constitution and laws of the Commonwealth, dojth commission you a Captain in the Navy of Virginia. John Leljcher Governor of Virginia By the Governor George W. Munford, Sect, of the Committee. The official records df the Confederate Navy give proof that Governor I etchers confidence andl trust in Captain Barron was well! placed. The odds just seemed against him, but he left; no detail unattended to, if it wjas possible; to do something. On August 2, 1864 he wrote to the Secretary of the Navy, concerning the Rappahannock. “This vessel has been from the day she entered Calais a source ,of intense anxiety and annoyance to both Mr. Slidell and myself, and f now feci mortified at our. ill success.” Commander James Dj. Bulloch,: Confederate States Navy, was always ready to help Captain Barron in every way possible, but he had not the confidence in the attitude; of the French toward the Confederacy that Captain Barron had. In fact it was just the opposite. He had come to Europe in the early days of the War Of the Rebellion to buy ships for the Confederacy. He had been given a free Continued on page eight - ■ Panther Tales By Haras Nelle Victory, Victory was our cry_ and we got it!-Two (beautiful trophies have come to their final resting place in the trophy case at RCHS. A net cut from the Osbourrl goal by Mr. Bolyard, our coach, is also on display. We are very proud of both our boys and girls basketball teams. The Panthers will go to the Regional Tournament on Friday night at Charlottesville where they will meet the tough, undefeated Midlothian Team. This is the first time the boys have been District Champions. A bus will leave RCHS Friday evening for Charlottesville, carrying the Cheerleaders, chaperones, and about 45 students. We expect a big Rappahannock crowd to be there supporting the team. The Sock Hop held two weeks ago was a great success. Around 100 people talked and danced to “swing sounds.” Maybe we can do it again sometime??? Rena Pullen has returned to our midst after participating in the ' National Cherry Pie Baking Contest in Chicago. Although she did not win, she is still our State Chamn. Behind closed doors, the Juniors meet. The subject of their discussions.._..The Junior-Senior Prom! I -understand that the prom theme has been chosen but it is to remain a deep, dark secret. Meanwhile, the Seniors are working away on the Annual. The current work room, the lab, is topsy turvy with pencils, papers, pens, and people. Typewriter keys click, cameras flash, and the old adage holds, “The Show Must Go On.” In spite of the difficulties they’ve faced, such as a late start, and loss of time from school because of the snow, they are doing very well. Students were amazed to see “time fly” Monday as the hands of the docks jumped and jerked around the face. The power failure Sunday had messed up the syetem somewhat, but it was straightened out. The student body assembled in the auditorium Wednesday to congratulate bur basketball teams, thank cheerleaders and spectators, and to congratulate Rena Pullen and Lvle Updike (pie baking and judging team state winners). Just a nice fellowship meeting. For a small school, guess we haven’t done too badly. Miss Mildred Many returned to her home in Washington, D. C.

"Complete control of cluster flies is almost impossible since the overwintering insects are concealed in walls, window casings, attics, and other inaccessible places. When possible, close all openings where flies get in. A favorite entrance is the pulley openings through which window weight cords run. “Apply a chlordane or DDT spray, using a small, hand-operated, compressed air sprayer or other suitable sprayer. In attics, basements, and other places where surface stains do not matter, wet surface thoroughly with chlordane or DDT emulsion concentrate diluted with water according to directions on the label.

If you use an aerosol bomb, make the application in all fly-infested rooms. These aerosols provide little or no residual protection on wall surfaces.” The face fly is a comparatively new specie and although Dr. Turner of VPI’s Entomology Research staff has been studying its control as a cattle pest for at least a year, no satisfactory control has been found.

Secretary Mallory said in a letter to him, “The class of vessels desired for immediate use, is that which offers the greatest chances of success against the enemy’s commerce, and in their selection, the department is unwilling to limit your judgment.” It was Commander Bullock, who had purchased the Rappahannock in England. She had gotten to Calais, but a without battery. Naturally Commander Bullock was anxious to help in every way. However his experience had taught him to be realistic and not to be taken in by “sympathetic words,” but actions., On August 4, 1864 he wrote to the Secretary of the Navy: “You allude to the Emperor’s policy towards us. Before this readies you, you will have learned, through previous reports of my own, as well as through the public prints, that his policy has been made manifest, and although his Majesty, in his own language, and through the medium of his ministers of State, speaks sympathetically of our cause, you will have perceived that the acts of his Government have practically been more unfriendly than those of Lord Russell.” “In England an unfriendly ministry has strained the law against us_But then there was never a pretense of sympathy with us. Lord Russell has always been our enemy. The Emperor’s Government, on tions of friendship Pei, h NCkm. the contrary, who was warm in assertions of friendship, invited us to supply our necessities in France. We began the construction of our ships by the direct invitation of the Government, with the assurance that they would be allowed to sail when completed. But every pledge has been violated and we have encountered nothing but deception and duplicity and are now their victims. Captain James D. Bullock “laid it on the line.” It was now too late to do anything, but he saw the situation for what it was, and began to plan to make the best of it.

TREE SEEDLINGS NOW BEING SHIPPED Moving day has come for the young forest tree seedlings in the state’forest tree nurseries at Charlottesville and New Kept. Young trees for Virginia’s future forests are now traveling the highways of the state on their way to new homes in mountain, piedmont and tidewater Sections of the state. With the melting of heavy winter snows and early signs of spring, the Virginia Division of Forestry reports that tree lifting, packing and shipping is now in full swing at the two state nurseries. Some 55 million trees are now being forwarded to landowners for planting in the months of March and April 1961. These trees will be used to reforest cutover woodlands, abandoned land and to conserve soil and water. William C. Vemam, Forester, reports that seedlings are still available to landowners at the low cost of $4.50 to $$.50 per thousand trees delivered to the planting site. People interested in reforsetation projects should contact the Virginia Division of Forestry, Box 111, Warrenton, Virginia or Chief Forest Warden Raymond M. Johnson, Woodville, Virginia for free planting advice and assistance in ordering and planting trees. Plant trees have a share in developing Virginia’s forests in the future. \S\wumimumu/////, Madison Livestock ' Market Madison Mills, Va.
