Rappahannock News, March 30, 1961

Bloodmobile To Visit Rappk April 5' The Red Cross Bloodmobile will visit Rappahannock County next week, giving us another opportunity to donate blood that others might liye. Date: Wednesday, April 5 Time: 12 noim to 4:00 p.m. Place: Flint jHill Fire Hall The Red Cross Bloodmobile is visiting us just? as Spring weather breaks. It’s a good time to take stock of our part in the Blood Donor Program. A few people have really done their part and then some, coming forward to donate a pint of blood every time the Bloodmobile visits the county. We jexpect to see them again on Wednejsday. But their unselfish gift is not enough to keep pace with the constant requirement for blood by the sick and injured. A lot more of i|s need to join the band of loyal donors. Perhaps we hjave thought, about doing just that!but something always comes up to prevent us giving blood. Something always will get in the way if We let it. There is always more than enough work to do around thej farm or at our desks. We are jafraid that giving blood will so Weaken us that we won’t be able tp work for a day or two. Actually, most people go right back to Work after a brief rest at the mobile unit. And they return to work with the satisfying feeling that they were able to help some one Who needed help badly. Just think, the blood that makes fife possible fort us can, be , used to make life possible for someone else too. It is not often that we get a chance to share our lives with others in such a direct way. So, come on but on Wednesday and give a pint pf blood that others may enjoy tljis spring with us. Bake Sale AtjEtlan There will be a bake sale at the D. E. Yowell Sore in Etlan Friday afternoon and Saturday morning.

Falls — Hazards In The Home Mr.-Raymond Johnson, Chairman, Safety Committee, asked me to write an article on “Falls—-Our No. 1 Hazard in Rappahannock.” This seemed like a simple little request, but when I started to write, that was another matter. All I could think of to start was, “Don’t Fall” which seemed fairly obvious. So I asked my husband, “What can 1 write about Falls?" “Oh,” he said, “There are 101 things you can write about that. You could write that conditions which cause falls should be avoided; never pile all the old magazines which you intend to store upstairs, on the steps (like you do) ; and never put all the empty jars for the basement on the basement steps (like you do); and never kick off your shoes in the middle of the floor for people to fall over (like you do). As a matter of fact, it is a mystery to me how you ever got on a safety council!” I thought, I throw so much around I have to be careful, but I said, “1 only asked you for one thing.” He had gotten warmed up to the subject, however, and he continued, “You might say when using a ladder, always be sure you are on the floor or ground before letting og. You have no idea how many falls result from that. I think I heard a member of the council had trouble with that. Also, one of your club members climbed up on the kitchen cabinet and stepped off.” I said, “Please, this is enough oh safety for one day. I don’t believe the newspaper will give me any more space than this.” 'In case I am not asked to write another article, please people of Rappahannock, watch your step. We are in a safety survey and we don’t want the counties around to think people in Rappahannock are careless. Watch your step and please don’t fall. The main thing is to be conscious of the hazards. If‘ you are fortunate enough to havd a husband (or wife) like mine, you will be. . ' “Reformed Litterbug” Caster Bake Sale Saturday The ladies of the Washington Methodist Church will hold an Easter Bake Sale on Saturday; April 1 in the Cary building across the street from the old post office.

Ned Johnsons Score Again The Ned Johnsons again received national recognition, this time in the April issue of the Farm Journal. This time the article features the Johnson’s Angus cattle. Before it was the Johnson family themselves, in the Progressive Fanner. The sequence couldn’t have been better; the people, the land, the cattle. Another pojnt of interest: The ~ same day our copy of the Farm Journal came, there was an envelope addressed to me containing a letter to Mr. Johnson. I quote: “Your article in the Farm Journal was read with much interest. I „ would like more oinformation about your cattle, and what kind of : price you have on a two year old bull.” Signed, James C. Rice; i ' Spencer, Ind. “P.S. Mi. County Agent give this to Mr. Johnson.” See why a chilly shfver ran up my spine ? The bull in the picture (and its a beauty in color - lush green pastures, neat fencing and the Blue Ridge as the back ground) is the one Ned got at one of the R.O.P. sales held at Front Royal Beef Cattle Research Center. (That should make Bob Priode, Supt. proud). Rode to this sale with Ned^and “Mom,” as he affectionately call his wife, En route to the sale Johnson kept quiet about his being on the _>-rlook for a bull. Shortly after* getting there “B” Miller came and asked that I help him pick a bull. We went over the records on-dam and on-feed and made a selection,, then confirmed it by looking at the bulls. “B” asked that I bid on the bull for him. When the auction started, we four Rappahannockans were together on the bleechers, “B”, then me, then Ned with Elizabeth on his right. Soon “our” bull was led into the auction ring. At iirst thebidding was fast and from all over! Gradually it narrowed torfour interested parties, then to three, and then to two! I noticed the ring man was taking bids from someone close to me. The son-of-agun ran my bids up better than $100.00! Who was he? The ring man’s eyes shifted slightly. Finally I turned and asked Ned if he was bidding? He exploded. “B” laughed and said “let him have the bull.” 1 So Johnsons got the Angus featured in the Farm Journal article and I all but lost my ride back home! Resume* Church Services Beginning Sunday, April 2, services at the Pentecostal Church in Chester Gap will be resumed, with Sunday School at 1:30 and worship service at 2:30 p.m. The public is invited to attend. FIRE and RESCUE SQUAD NOTES Rappahannock Rescue Squad brought Mrs. Hattie Nalls from Warren Memorial Hospital Monday. Wednesday it took Mrs. Abbey Woodard to Warren Memo■ial Hospital.

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 aa Second Class Mail at the Post Office at Washington. Va. SUBSCRIPTION (in advance).- *2.50 PER YEAR LAOS AND RUSSIA It should be quite obvious, upon reflection, that the Russians will not be stiff-necked about reaching a settlement of the Laotian war. In competition for supremacy in the Eurasian land mass, the two great powers emerging are Russia and China. And China today is in much the same position Russia was in the twenties and thirties: undeveloped, beset by internal economic difficulties, yet possessing a tremendous latent power. To China, the world is a potential battleground, for she has little to lose. The Russians, on the other hand, have tasted relative prosperity. They have seen the development of a burgeois society that owns and enjoys. They are no longer convinced that war with capitalism is inevitable, but that co-existanee can be a reality. To them, China is more a potential enemy than an ally. „ , Consequently, it can be expected that the Russians will rather easily accept a cease fire in Laos. They should have little desire to expand communism where it will inure to the sole benefit of their Chinese competitors. The intriguing question is: why did the Russians place their weight behind the Loatian rebels at all? Was it because they were forced to in their quasi-alliance with China Or was it an attempt to feel out President Kennedy’s resolve, while restricting themselves to an area where a communistjdefeat would not be detrimental to Russia? We suspect it was the latter, and if so, the Russians should now have a clear idea of how vigorously and firmly President Kennedy can act. Events portend a change from the Eisenhower chain-of-coromand, golf course regime. ■RCTt.Tr. t Letter To The Editor Washington, Va. Dear Editor r As an active member of the Rappahannock Rescue Squad, I speak for myself and my fellow members, in saying that it is gratifying to know that there are people in our county who feel as Mr. Hening does toward the rescue squad. We are all working people and have our daily duties and obligations and it if difficult at times for us to get to see everyone. We are only too glad and thankful ■'to God' for the strength and ability to get out when called upon to help our fellow citizens all over the county or where ever we are needed. We appreciate Mr. Hening’s attitude very much. Bertha M. Armel Sec. & Treas. of Rappahannock Rescue Squad Note of Appreciation Fauquier Hospital Warrenton, Va.

Ewe Management For Top-Lamb Values The market value of the lambs we sell tan be increased about $8.00 each through planned breeding and marketing at little, or no, increase in production costs. How? By getting the ewes in breeding condition early, breeding them to Start lambing December 1-15, and getting the lambs to weigh 90-100 pounds and to market in April, May or June when prices are highest. A study of 1239 Rappahannock lambs marketed in 1959 shows: we sold lambs every month of the year; sold 60% when prices were lowest; and 53% at weights too light to make top market grade. Grade and weight are very closely related: 63% of the Blue O (Prime) grade weighed 91-100 pounds; 48 % of the Red O s (the next lowest grade) weighed 81-90 pounds; and 58% of the Red Shoulder lambs weighed 71-80 pounds. The average prices of these grades throughout the year at all markets were as follows: Blue 0-$23.32; .Red 0-$21.54 and Red Shoulder-$18.24. It is fine that 53 % of our lambs graded choice or better, but only 25% weighed 91 pounds and up.. Again weight is more important than grade when we consider the price spread between Blue O and Red O’s plus the fact that some ✓of the Red O’s would have beeri Blue O’s had they been a little older and with more finish. But What Can Be Done About It? Now that lambs to be marketed are already here, about all we "can do is to continue practices, that most sheepmen are already doing. Until grass comes, allow each ewe suckling a lamb 1 % pounds J4% dairy feed, (or lVi pounds ora mixture of equal parts by measure of corn, oats, bran), plus 3 to 5 pounds leafy legume hay.

Next step (also July) is to drench the ewes for internal parasites put them on fresh pasture and turn the ram in two weeks later. Doing so will mean lambs will start coming in December and you’31 have a more uniform lamb crop and less frequent marketings. Lambs will also be mature enough to put them in top market grades weighing 90-100 pounds by July 1, 1962. If the above practice does not result in all ewes lambing before February 1st, they are naturally late breeders .... mark ’em at shearing time and sell ’em. A shepherd who leaves his ram with the flock year round, or has lambs born too late to hit the early (April, May and June) market will put himself out of the sheep business. In most cases he will fail because of problems he creates.

Confederate Steam Ship Rappahannock. Louemma C. Moffett Conclusion Waiting for an opportunity to get back to the Confederacy—and home was very trying to the officers and crews of the ships in European waters under the control of Commander Bullock. The crew ' members could be found in nearly all of the European ports..trying in some way to secure passage on ships sailing for* Bermuda, Trinidad, Nassau and other islands along the coast of the Americas. They were strange looking travelers, dressed as they were, in any kind of clothes, as they dare not ^.wear the uniform of the Confederacy. Always mindful of the needs of the men “who went down to the sea in ships”_Commander Bullock notified them all that he was staying in Liverpool, for an indefinite time._at the same address— that he could be reached there by anyone who needed him. The message brought a measure of comfort to them all. They knew that it came from a man with the soul of a Soldier—who would help them if he could. Following Shortly after Commander Bullock’s letter announcing the surrender of General Lee at Appomattox came the announcement of a change in the situation. The following announcement was sent to all .of the ship commanders in foreign waters.' “The terms of a proclamation issued by the President of the United States are such as to exclude most of the officers of your command from the privilege of returning at once to their original homes and I would advise all of you to come to Europe, or wait elsewhere, the further develop-., ments in the United States before venturing to go to any part of that country of the Confederate States. Circumstances you will readily understand, the force of which you will appreciate, compel me to be brief and general in these instructions. You will therefore exerase your discretion in arranging all details. 1 shall remain in Liverpool, and you can communicate^with me there at my usual address. The men receiving the terms of the President’s proclamation fully realized the force of them. They understood why Commander Bullock was brief. His instructions to them were always clear and to the point. Beneath them they saw and appreciated an officer of fine fibre_one of striking worth, coupled with intelligence and heart, sonraciooaecsGMotxxsroaocxx: UNMATCHED fOI IU6GED PERFORMANCE .

The Confederate Steam Ship, Rappahannock, in the harbour of Calais, afforded little comfort to those who waited to go home. ■*T>ne of the latest reports of the Flag Officer, Samuel Barron, to Hon. S. H. Mallory, Secretary of the Confederate Navy, contained the following: “The Rappahannock lies in die basin at Calais still. The water has been recently let out, which rendered the removal of much of the weight out of die ship necessary; and the authorities have offered storehouse for the safekeeping. There are on board only officers and men enough to take care of Government property.” About the only comfort that the officers and crews of the Confederate ships had to count/On as they waited in many parts of Europe for permission to return to their homes, was that Commander James D. Bullock, whom they loved and respected, waited with them.

Friends, if you have any stitches to be taken from cuts, hasten to Dr. P. K. Candler of the Fauquier Hospital or office in Warrenton. No one can tell my face was ever cut. He really is an excellent physician. The hospital is beautiful and all the nurses, aids and help are just wonderful, but oh how underpaid they are! I do hope something can be done to raise their pay for the hard work they do. My friends and patrons from Herndon, Floris, Qiantilly,' and We Caui Supply All Your CULPEPER BUILDING & SUPPLY CORP.

Falls Church have been so wonderful to me. il just can’t answer all of their expressions of attention either. There hasn’t been a day in three weeks 1 haven’t received mail and how^hat does help one in such circumstances as this. Officers Buntin and Lowman, it never occurred such would happen to me. Though I knew the accident was not my fault, it was wonderful to hear a voice on the scene say it. but still more wonderful to hear the officer in the emergency room say, “Miss Almond, it was not your fault.’’ As he left, he said, "Don’t worry about a thing except getting yourself well.” The officer was certainly gentle of manner and kind of understanding, I In fact everyone, even to the Governor of Virginia is. “pulling for my recovery” and with such assistance how could one fail to respond ? May God’s blessing be upon each of you and I know His blessings have been with me throughout the entire experience. Sincerely, Annie Miller Almond CRUSHED STONE All Sizes RIVERTON LIME & STONE CO.
