Questionnaires For Selective Service All men born after August 30, 1922 registered in Virginia who are not on active duty will receive a “Current Information Questionnaire” from Virginia local boards. If you are registered in Virginia and have not sent your local board your current address, do this right away. If you have received this questionnaire be sure to return it promptly. Rappahannock County Local Board has sent out questionnaires to men born through 1929. If you are in this age group and have not received your questionnaire, get in touch with your local board. Some registrants have not given the board a current address. The local board that had jurisdiction over your permanent home address when you registered is still your local board. Local boards do not change no matter where you move. However, you may always transact any selective service business through your nearest local board. School Bus And Truck Crash A Rappahannock County School' bus collided with a truck on Route 522 at Scrabble last Friday morning. Though the two vehicles were” badly damaged no one was injured. The 1950 Ford bus, owned by the county school board, was driven by William Arthur Carpenter. His view was blinded by children standing in the entrance of the bus, as he pulled from a side road onto Route 522, in the path of an oncoming truck. The 1959 Chevrolet truck was owned and operated by Granville Middleton Hall of Heathsville,s Va. According to Trooper W. A* Buntin, about $1,500 damage was done to the two vehicles. Here And There Much has been said and written concerning the advantage of the Americans and the British working together in various fields. It “Anglican” that (generally to the advantage of the “Anglican”) however, we have reason to believe that certain groups in Rappahannock see “eye to eye” with certain ones in Durham, England, concerning “cold drafts” in their jail cell, and that they dealt with it in the same manner. The United Press brings the following : Durham, England—Two prisoners aroused guards in Eiurhanv jail before dawn to complain they could not sleep because of the draft whistling through a hole in their cell. Investigating, the guards discovered that a metal grill was missing. Also missing—prisoner Tom Heslop. ' You have company Guy. Feel better ? An old saying.most true—misery loves company. *-H County Council To Meet The Spring Meeting pf the 4-H County Council will be held on Thursday, March 30 beginning at 7:30 p.m. at the Court House in Washington.

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. $2.50 PER YEAR SUBSCRIPTION (in advance) Essay Contest Winners At Sperryville One of the projects this year of the Student Cooperative Association of _ Rappahannock, of which every child in grades 5 through 7 >■ is a member, was an essay contest. The topic for the seventh grade was “My Responsibility To My Country.” The sixth grade chose “What America Means To Me,” and the fifth grade wrote about “Symbols of Democracy.” The essays ylere judged by three persons, none of whom knew how the others had voted. A first place vote counted five points; second place counted three points and the essay getting the most points was chosen as the winer. Following are the essays of the first place winner in each grade. '* • • • My Responsibility To My Country Much has been said about the three R’s_reading and ’riting and ’rithmetic_but I think the fourth R is just as important as the bther three. This R stands for responsibility. I think, just as other boys and girls think, that one big repsonsibility is to get a good education. This helps one to meet and ' to cope with the changes that come / to our country year after year. We should obey all traffic laws, school laws, and any other laws that would help us to become a better citizen. We should keep picnic grounds neat and never throw trash on the highway. I believe that all boys and girls should belong to some club or organization in order to learn hpw to do things for themselves. As it is said in the Declaration of Independence, everyone is entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Let’s start with life. Everyone has only one life to live, so we should make it a good and useful one. We should go to the church of our choice and support it. i Living means freedom and freedom, with responsibility, can help us to work and play happily together. Responsibiliy is a long word with lots of meanings. I have named just a few, but 1 hope to learn and do more about my responsibility. to my country. Cecil Pullen, Grade 7 • • * • What America Means To Me America means many things to me. It means that I have freedom of worship. I can p> to any church I choose and worship God in the way I believe. America to- me means freedom of speech. !I can say how I feel about things without fear of being put in prison like they do in some other countries. America also means that there are good schools and good teachers. It does not make any difference whether I am rich or poor, I can go to public schools and receive a good education. America also means to me a country where we can vote as we want. We can elect our president by voting. We do not have a king or a dictator, America means all people are equal. If I want a job, and can prove that ll am capable, I have as good a chance as any one else. I can choose the work I want and where I want to do it. I am a free person and not a slave. America means to me a great and wealthy nation that will give help to other countries and people that need help. America means to me a nation with freedom for all people. Jackie Brown, Grade 6 • • • * Signs And Symbols „ Of Democracy One of the most important and interesting symbols of our government is the bald eagle. This famous bird has its proud portrait on alnlost every emblem of out government. The eagle is shown with a bundle of arrows in his right claw. This stands for America as a strong nation, a nation always prepared for an enemy’s attack. The eagle’s portrait is on flags, coins, stamps, certificates, and as I said, almost every emblem' of our government. Justice’s symbol is a scale equal on both sides. It means that everybody should have equal justice. A friend of mine told me that before and during World War II, many of his relatives living in Germany were shot or put in concentration camps just because they did not agree with Hitler or the Nazi party, or .because itheir |religion was different. This is one of the most maddening examples of injustice I have ever heard. In a country such as Germany, they did not have the great freedoms which the symbols represent. "Uncle Sam” is the cartoon symbol of our government. I had a friend once who was a cartoonist. Whenever he Wanted to draw a symbol representing pur Government, he would draw “Uncle Sam.” The Statue of Liberty is on Bedloe’s Island. It is ihere to welcome immigrants, entering the country. You would never guess what could be going on in an immigrant’s mind when he sees the Statueof Liberty, so I will tell you. To an immigrant, America means peace and security, equal justice for all. It means fairness, the right to vote, the right to worship God as we please. It means justice, it means freedom and liberty. All these great freedoms and rights we rarely think about. We do not realize that we are really the most fortunate people in all the world because we live in such a land. Yet the immigrant thinks of all this; he thinks how lucky he will be to live in a country with the freedoms that these symbols represent.

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF From the Daily Richmond Enqoirer, Thursday morning; November 23, 1854. It was 107 years ago and die people of Virginia were very much upset about a number of things. Some of the problems were much the same as they are today, adding more faith in the old saying that “History Repeats Itself.” The Enquirer reprinted from a New Orleans paper the following news story: “The steamer JBlack Warrior from Havana, with dates to the 16th has arrived; The Delta announces having! received information from authentic source, that the inhabitants,of Cuba are in the wildest state of enthusiasm and contemplate an important uprising in a few days. The same paper published a bold and energetic proclamation issued from the Cuba Club of Terrorists. The other papers of this city, however, have no information in reguard to the matter and discredit the report. The Governor of Trinidad is reported to be a prisoner in Havana.” Had we read the above in our morning paper, we wouldn't have been at all surprised. PAGE THEATRE LURAY, VIRGINIA FRI.SAT.

Selective Service Qualification Tests Captain Charles L. Kessler, State Director of Selective Service for Virginia, announced that the annual Selective Service College Qualification Test will be offered to college students April 27 at approximately 50Q colleges throughout the Nationj The score made on the test is a help to local boards in considering students for deferment from induction for study as undergraduate or graduate students. Captain Kessler urged students to take the teit. “The test js foi the students benefit as welt as for the Nation’s good,’’ Captain Kessler said. “A local board should have full information about a student in order to classify him, including his class standing and h score on this test. A high test score may compensate for low class standing; and high class standing may compensate for a low test score. g "The purpose of student deferments is to give promising students an opportunity r to continue to prepare themselves for careers in support of the national interest. "The undergraduate student who today dojes not plan on graduate study may change his plans as he nears graduation,” Captain Kessler added. “That is the time that a defermjent may be most important. That is also the time when a test $core may be important in the local board’s decision concerning deferment,” Application materials! for the test will be j available about the first week of March at the nearest local board office. Students are urged to make application early. The application must be postmarked not later than midnight, April 6. Full instructional materials are issued with the applications.

Director, Virginia Museum of Fine Arts The nation*!!? known director of die State Museum faahl A* treat masterpieces of art in die Museum’s collections—the cultural heritage of all Virginians. This is one of a series of articles which will appear each week during die Virginia Museum’s 25 th Birthday year. Glass and Worship Today when we see stained glass which is so blank from the outside in the daytime and equally blank from the inside at night, we tend to forget that it was developed as an aid to worship and that, at the time it was developed, worship normally occured inside a church during the day. And, of course, it is during the day that stained glass is at its most glorious when seen from with in a church. Its richness was immediately recognized from the time of its earliest use, for its manufacture quickly spread to all the Christian areas of Europe. There are not many examples of medieval glass in this country, and even fewer examples of a complete window. In 1955 the . Virginia Museum of Fine Arts was especially fortunate in being able to purchase, through the Williams Fund, an entire stained glass window of the 14th Century from St. Leonhard in Lava-'tcale, Carinthia, Austria. Not only did the Museum find an entire window, but the window, divided into six major panels, has five of those panels executed at the same time and from the same work shop. They depict, reading from left to right and from bottom to SUITS $39.50 to $65.00 SPORT COATS $29.50 to $35.0Q Designed for Spring with You in Mind Be sure to see our full line of spring and sum[ mer suits soon. ! __ With all your Purchases S & H GREEN STAMPS "SMITH’S” BETTER MEN’S WEAR Across from Ramsey’s Hdwe.

I4XH GSZVTTOY *TAH«D CUM Klosterneuburg, one of Austria’s great religious centers, lies in the same valley and only 130 miles from St. Leonhard in Lavanttale. It very probably influenced the work of the local craftsmen over a wide area and undoubtedly influenced the glass painters who worked on the Museum’s window, to judge by such early glass as has survived from the 14th Century buildings of Klosterneuburg. As one sees this window in the Museum, its brilliant colors, its design and its carefully worked out symbolism convey a large meas-, ure of the original and very strong religious impulse which led to its creation, and one senses the worshipful use for' which it was designed. i EXTRA EXTRA By Ed Spring has sprung as a matter of fact it has “busted” wide open. One day after the official ‘first day of spring” our country side is graced with a beautiful blanket of snow. ,It is most picturesque as it clings to every bush bough and blossom, (yes, the crocus and forsythia don’t look too well) Weve had sleet, rain, hail and snow.

Confederate Steam Ship Rappahannock Louemma C. Moffett Part VI Commander James! D. Bullock of Montgomery, Ala., was sent to Europe early in 1861 j by the Confederate States Government to purchase, or have built, ships for the Confederate Nayji. The Secretary of tjhe Navy relied completely on his judgment in securing ships to be;used against the enemy’s commerce. He only pointed out what would be expected of the ‘blockade runners.’ “Our ships,” he wrote, ‘‘must be able to keep the sea, make extended cruises, have speed, power, a battery of one or two heavy pivot guns and two or more broadside guns, being sufficient against "commerce.” Concerning supplies needed immediately in the Confederate States, he wrote, “It may be necessary and advisable to place all the arms and munitions on board the swiftest vessel, and to embark in her yourself. i Ine best manner ot entering the Southern ports is necessarily left to your judgment. Should the Vessels under the British flag be warned off by a blockading force, they might try the next port, running the Virginia, C i r o 1 i n a s, Georgia and Florida coasts down successively.” It was an exciting ife for the crews of the blockade runners...... All were anxious to get to sea, and bottled up in the harbour of Calais became restless and And the ease of the Ra was far from being an Commander Bullock in the crews of the blockade run ners of the Confederacy discouraged, ppahannock exception. * had faith ...was a bit disgusted with the opinion that “private enterprise was more efficient. Late in 1864 he w|ote to the Secretary of the Navy concerning “Private Enterprise.’“Private blodtade runners are increasing the number cf their vessels, and will be active in engaging every kind of professional aid. It has often been said that the Government can not compete with Private Enterprise in supplying its own needs. TTiis I am convinced, from experience, is a great mistake, and it is besides equivalent to the declaration that even ir these trying times, energy and zeal can only be obtained by money." Commander Bullock trusted and had confidence in the crews of the blockade runners under his control, and the records show that they had confidence in him, and trusted him more than any other agent in Europe. On June 19, 1865, he sent to the Commanding Officers of all the ships under his control the following letter: Sir: ^ On the 9th day of April last, General Lee was forced to evacuate the lines of Petersburg and Richmond after three days of continuous and sanguinary battle, and on the 10th of the same month, being sui rounded by overwhelming numbers, he surrendered the remnant of his army to General Grant only, however, when its last ration had been consumed and its military supplies were entirely exhausted, This event has been followed consecutively by the surrender of Generals Johnston and Taylor, commanding all the Confederate States troops east of the Mississippi and General Kirby Smith, the commander in chief of the trans-Mississippi Department. "President Davis, Vice President Stephens and several members of the Confederate Cabinet have been arrested and are now held as close prisoners by the U. S. States Government. President Johnson has formally declared the war at an end, has removed all restrictions upon foreign commerce by reopening the southern ports to general trade. Furthermore, the principal European powers have withdrawn the recognition of belligerent rights accorded to them to the Confederate States in 1861, and have forbidden the entry of vessels bearing the Confederate States Flag into their ports for any purpose of repair or supply. ‘‘I have discussed the above circumstances with Hon. James Mason, the diplomatic representative of the Confederate States in England, and in accordance with his opinion and advice, I hereby direct you to desist from any further destruction of United States property upon the high seas and from all offensive operations against the citizens of that country. Your first duty will be to take care of the personnel of your command and to pay off and discharge the crew, with due reguard to their safety and the facilities for returning to their homes.” The crew of the Confederate Steamship Rappahannock, with the crews of a number of the blockade runners were relieved that the war was over, but they were not to get home as soon as they had with new improved TURBO TINES t ONLY $25.00 DO EASY TERMS WN ■^2 No extra charge for\ TINE REVERSE DKIVl^/ mom or 4 tamous-mako engines: 3 n.p. to 4n n.p. — power to spore for every tilling jobl ** Convenient, fingertip controls for forward and reverse tine operation.

Phone VA 5-8381 News For Veterans Many veterans who are physicdaily no longer able to work are waiting until age 65 to apply for pension under the new pension law. This waiting is not necessary if they are totally disabled from any cause, except misconduct. In assessing the extent of permanent physical or mental disability with which a veteran is afflicted the VA has to apply the percentage requirements set out in the VA rating schedule as approved by Congress. This is the same schedule used by the armed services in deciding if a service man should be retired or discharged, or retained on active duty. It is true that the older veteran, the less rigid are the disability standards because age is an important factor in determining unemploy-ability. However, there are many cardiac, respiratory, or arthritic cripples under 65 who have become unemployable.
