RCHS Senior Play Next Wednesday The Senior Class of Rappahannock County High School is deviating from the regular pattern of hillbilly humor and ghastly dramas this year to present a contemporary play about the “now” generation. “Hip Hippie Hooray”, a three act play, has something for everyone: wild characterizations (would you believe the captain of the basketball team as a guru?), outlandish costumes, humor, and every now and then - acting! The scene is set in the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco. Suzy Stevenson, a little “white gloved square” arrives on the scene to find her brother who has joined the movement. She decides to open the “Eat-Inn”, a free restaurant for Hippies, hoping of course that her brother will show up. First she must win the confidence of the Hippies who are using the empty restaurant as a temporary pad. And, an even more difficult task, she must get them to work, a dirty word in Haight-Ashbury. The restaurant is finally opened, however, despite a landlord who hates Hippies, peace-loving cops, and an acute shortage of bread (money). Hip Hippie Hooray is a play for everyone from the tiny teeny bopper to the over 30 generation. The date is May 7 in the Rappahannock County High School Gym. Adults, $1.50; students, $1.00; and children under 12, 50 cents. Tickets may be purchased from any member of the Senior Class. Junior Fox Hunters Plan Bench Show !

Many and varied assortments of handwork and needlework, and a display of bookbinding done locally by R. E. Thompsen. The Arts and Crafts Group is stimulating interest in old crafts and exploring new mediums Several people who have participated in classes sponsored by the Arts and Crafts group have become quite professional and are making careers of their accomplishments. Courses in basic knitting ot five, two-hour sessions have been sponsored by the Arts and Crafts group since 1965. Eleven classes have been given with a total of 90 receiving instructions. They came from Amissville, Castleton, Boston, Flint Hill, Hume, Huntly, Sperryville, Washington and Woodville. (Chester Gap held its own course.) Certificates for satisfactory completion of the course have been awarded 69 and ten additional certificates were given that number who completed the course twice.

Engrossing and Calligraphy Are Interesting Profession for Local Man Engrossing and calligraphy are fast becoming professions of the past as the tempo of today’s already hurried existence accelerates. Engrossing is the art of copying legal or other documents in impressive and ornamental hand lettering or script while calligraphy is the art of penmanship. Few engrossers or calligraphers remain in the business and even few schools remain which train or teach the profession. Richard W. Pierson of! Amissville is among the sparse number of engrossers of a recent generation. He is only 29 years of; age; studied and worked for Five years at the Zanerian College of Penmanship in Columbus, Ohio and while there handled all of the correspondence lessons for the school. He holds four teaching certificates in calligraphy. Mr. Pierson is self-employed and, all of his work is done in his studio at his home here. Among special work done by an engrosser are tributes, memorials, resolutions, invitations, certificates, diplomas and testimonials. Mr. Pierson wrote the official invitation to the inauguration of President Richard Nixon in January. From his original invitation in handwritten script, the engraving plate was made and thousands of envitations engraved from it. His most recent work, done just this week, is a tribute in memory of the late General Dwight D. Eisenhower which will be presented Mrs. Eisenhower in the very near future by the Republican National Committee. rhis engrossment is a four-page album on off-white paper done in black Old English Text, embellished with color illumination and pure gold. There are many forms and styles of engrossing and calligraphy in bold shades and delicate hairlines. All are done by hand with a simple pen. In script the nib of the pen is spread by pressure on the down stroke to produce a bold line and a fine line is made with a light upward stroke. In text or hand lettering a broadpoint pen is used. A special pen has been developed with the point anchored^ to one side to avoid hand cramping. Some engrossing is rather plain though it can be very intricate and flourishing with color lavished if desired. Costs of the work depends on the several factors, including quality of paper, and intricacy of style and type lettering. Business is \ sometimes seasonal for in the early summer graduation diplomas are in demand while at Christmas the card business is expanded. Mr. Pierson designs greeting and business cards, monograms, brochures, etc. Much of this work is secured in the metropolitan area but he is attempting to develope a local line also, particularly writing names on diplomas which have been printed or engraved earlier. Mr. Pierson worked on a farm until he began his study of penmanship which had been a challenge for a long time. He moved with his wife from Ohio t'o (Continued on Page 3)

LATHAM, Managing Editor Entered as 2nd Class Mail at the P. O. at Washington, Va. Subscriptions (in, advance) $3.00 in Rappahannock and adjacent counties; $3.50 East coast; $4.00 mid-west; $4.50 West. Letter To Editor Dear Mrs. Latham: Thank you for the publicity you gave the 1969 Cancer Crusade in the Rappahannock News. Your support helped us reach our goal. I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to the residents of Rappahannock County for their contributions. Fund raising is not easy. Special appreciation goes to my Co-Chairman, Mrs. Robert Anderson, for her excellent co-operation, and to the Captain of each district: Hampton-Mrs. Harold Scoggin Wakefield-Mrs. Robert Clatterbuck Piedmont-Mrs. Allan Stokes Hawthome-Mrs. J.L. Yowell Stonewall-Mrs. Amos Butler Jackson-Mrs. Herman Scharmer Mrs. Lee Thomton and Miss Judy Burtner presented movies on the danger of smoking to classes at both the Elementary School and the Rappahannock County High School. I would like to publicly thank Mrs. Mary Quaintance and Mr. Dennis Wingfield for their assistance. It took over fifty workers to canvass the County. I appreciate their efforts. Sincerely, Mary S. van Brederode Unit Chairman Rappahannock County 1969 Cancer Crusade From The Book “Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.” (Pro. 14:43) Let us apply the Biblical law oi sowing and reaping to oui situation in America. In recent years we have been sold some theories that contradict the laws of God revealed in the Bible. We are now beginning to reap. One such theory is the non-restrictive method of raising children. Another is the theory that man is the product of evolution from the lower forms of life. Still another is that salvation can be obtained by education and culture. We are now beginning to reap the results of these non-Biblica) theories. I realize we have many / law-abiding, upright people, but just look at the increasing number of the otherwise. Count the criminals, the hippies, the drunkards, the immoral, the perverted, the rioters, blasphemers, etc. What is producing this great number of wrecks on the highway Letter To Editor Dear Editor: I wish to thank the people who called to congratulate me for the article in your paper. Also want to thank the ones who dropped money in a jar at the Sandwich Shop, which 1 gave to the Youth Group. This week I would like to let the citizens ' of Rappahannock County know that we are losing Mr. James Jackson Wayland, one of the best 7th grade teachers we have ever had. Since he has been teaching in our Elementary School he has taken so much interest in our young people, the future leaders of our County. He is highly respected by all students, which means a lot. A child learns far more when he, or she has respect for the one who is teaching them. If the County Supervisors, or School Board do not see fit to pay Mr. Wayland the salary he thought he’d eventually get when he came to Rappahannock, why not get together and have a fund raising for him. Should any one have any doubts as to his qualification, check with the ones who have had classes under him, or the teachers with whom he has worked. Some try to make me believe all, or the best portion of our tax money goes to the schools, but quite a bit has been thrown away other ways. How about the BOUNDARY LINE? The money spent to find out about that WORTHLESS land would have paid a teacher’s salary at least two years. Please wake up before it’s too late. Yours truly, Perle Coffey of life? First of all, a lack of discipline in childhood. Secondly, the idea that man is only a superdeveloped animal. Thirdly, the notion that salvation comes through education and culture. How does it work? Young people without discipline and restraint are off on the wrong foot at the beginning. Then if they are taught they came from the animals, they may decide to live like them (actually much worse). And they have no fear of God, for after all, God didn’t have much to do with their evolutionary ancestry. And then if they are not particularly interested in education and culture, the church has nothing to offer. How foolish it is for a nation to depart from God. The Bible teaches that children should be restrained and carefully trained in the right way and that God created man. And that salvation is for all, the learned and unlearned, through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Panther Tales By Sieve Gore The Panthers will tangle with Luray at Luray today. They will try to improve their record further. The SCA has completed the' new revised handbook and it will be submitted to the school board for approval. This Friday students will have a vacation. School will not be in session because of the Apple Blossom Festival. I hope everyone enjoys the day of rest from the old grind. The Senior play is progressing. Tickets can be purchased at the door on Wednesday, May 7, or from any senior. Charlotte Printz won the pie-baking contest and will represent Rappahannock at the Apple Blossom Festival. Congratulations, Charlotte. If enough students are interested, a summer school program will be offered at Rappahannock. If you are interested and haven’t found out the facts see Mr. Neff or Mr. Wingfield. A Go Cart and a Mini Bike will be given away in the near future. Both were made by boys in the Vo-Ag shop. Contact any one of them for details. The Last Rail Laid; Spike Driven Washington - “The last rail is laid, the last spike driven,” a telegraph key clicked. “The Pacific railroad is completed.” The news from Promontory, Utah, on May 10, 1869, thrilled the Nation. Bells rang in Washington, D.C. A magnetic ball dropped from a pole atop the Capitol dome. A four-mile-long parade wound through Chicago. “San Francisco annexes the United States!” California boasted. From coast to coast, cannon fire hailed the linking of two rail lines at Promontory - one from the Missouri River and the other from Sacramento, California. The first transcontinental railroad was complete. Two Companies Named Legislation signed by President Abraham Lincoln on July 1, 1862, authorized the Union Pacific Railroad Company to build westward from the Missouri and the Central Pacific eastward from Sacramento, the National Geographic Society says. The companies faced identical problems: Too few laborers and too many Indians. Both lines filled the labor shortage in colorful fashion.

The president called the meeting to order and the devotional leader led us in the 23rd Psalm. Song leader led us in the songs “Swing Low Sweet Chariot” and “This Land is Your Land”. The secretary read the minutes from the last meeting. The vice president led us in the act Cinderella. Mr. Brumback told us about 4-H Camp and the Share-the-Fund Contest. He had some pictures of insects and showed us how to mount them. Reporter, Mary Corder Hudson mmigrants, ex-convicts, and war /eterans. Central Pacific imported Dig-tailed Chinese from Canton. Criticized for using such puny-looking workmen, construction boss Charles Crocker retorted, ‘.They built the Great Wall of China, didn’t they?” Hostile Indians posed a more delicate difficulty. Central Pacific found an ingenious solution. Collis P. Huntington, one of the company’s “Big Four,” later explained: “We gave the old chiefs a pass each, good on the passenger cars, and we told our men to let the common Indians ride on the freight cars whenever they saw fit.” Union Pacific’s tactics proved less successful. As General William T. Sherman recalled, the crews futilely tried to distribute “enough whisky to kill all the Indians within 300 miles.” After feverish work across Sierra granite and Nevada flats, the two lines met in western Utah in early 1869. Neither admitted it. Anxious for government land and loans that accrued with each mile laid, the crews kept constructing - right past each other for 225 miles. “Oratory and Whisky” Rival crews traded pot shots, rolled boulders at each other, and blasted opposing grades. Then Congress intervened. I he companies finally agreed to meet at the shack town of Promontory. The ceremony, a historian reported, was a “scene of low comedy” where “oratory and whisky flowed in about equal amounts.” A raucous audience of crewmen and spectators greeted the customary speeches. Then a golden spike-now enshrined at Stanford University - was inserted into a hole punched in a tie of California laurel. Central' Pacific’s Leland Stanford swung a silver sledge at the spike - and missed. The rowdy mob roared with rude laughter. Union Pacific’s Thomas C. Durant took his turn at the sledge - and missed. The heckling grew louder. More experienced hands finally drove the spike into place. As everyone cheered, the Union Pacific’s Pullman No. 119 and Central Pacific’s Jupiter touched cowcatchers over the spike, uniting the coasts.

Who is a consumer? Well, each and everyone ot you is a consumer. Every person using goods and services of one kind or another is a consumer. When you buy a loaf of bread, shoes for your children, go to your doctor for a check-up, or use a telephone you are acting as a consumer. How much do you know about being a consumer? The answer to that depends to a large extent upon how much you know about you. An individual’s buying is a function of what he is, what he has, the recent history of his purchase, what others have or buy, what he expects, what he hopes, what habits he has established and nearly everything else. One may buy a car with all the extras. All the extra luxuries he can buy or borrow. Nothing wrong with buying luxuries, that’s what part of our money is for if we can afford it. Another man skips the extras and puts his money into camping equipment for family weekends. Which one was right? No one but the one making the purchase could answer that one. There is no “best” for everyone in everything. Your likes, your wants, what you have, what you need, how much you can spend, all help to determine whether its the best buy for you. The best buy for one is not necessarily the best buy for another. Some of us like to pay cash, we just don’t relax, if we know the bills are waiting for us back home. Which attitude is right? Pay cash, or buy on credit. You decide for you. Buying is always a matter of making choices. Choices must be made between wants and needs, between luxuries and necessities, between one product and another of the same kind, between two entirely different kinds of products, and between spending your money now or saving it for another purpose. Being a consumer means making decisions and living with the results. When you decide to buy a bright yellow coat, you have also decided to spend umpteen dollars on cleaning bills whether you know it or not. A darker coat might spend less time at the cleaners but it might not really satisfy you. The important factors on your choice might be the color, style, and enjoyment. Its your coat and your decision. When the label says dry clean only, and you decide to wash it, you may have to try “squeezing” into your own decisions. Any time any of us make the decision of “I don’t read the label club” we may find ourselves doing just that. So, being a consumer means making decisions and living with the results. You are responsible for the decision and the results. Dates to Remember: Woodville H. D. Club, Tuesday, May 6 at 7:30 p.m. Mrs. Amos Butler’s, Woodville.

RAPP CHATS Rap Owings Extension Aeent, Agriculture Now is the time to plant corn, spray for thistles and check for Alfalfa weevil. According to the signs, corn planting time is here. Jenkins Mountain has greened up all the way to the top; dogwoods are in full bloom, white oak leaves are bigger than a squirrels ear and the call of the whip-poor-wil is heard throughout the hollows. Most experts, seed dealers and local agronomist agree that sometime between April 21st and May 10th is the time to plant com in Rappahannock. Planting too early often results in poor stands and excessive flea bettle damage. Plant too late and yields are reduced, stalks grow taller and there is more danger of lodging. The real art and science of corn production in this area lies in the farmers’ ability to adjust his rate of planting and fertilization to his soil type. Selecting a variety that will yield well under these conditions and then following through with a good weed control program. Why not talk over your corn planting plans with us. Thistles are in a prime stage for spraying right now. A couple of weeks from now it will be too late for best results or effective control. Please remember to reduce drift and the danger of injurying your neighbor’s orchard, garden or ornamentals by spraying when: 1. Wind is 5 mph or less. 2. With pressure of 20-30 psi. 3. With proper nozzle tip (8003 or larger or equivalent) These are samples of Mr. Pierson's work in engrossing.

POTTER JUNE JORAN SHAPES A POT ... on the potter’s wheel in the University of West Florida art studio. June Jordan Teaches “Earthy” Profession in Florida College The potter, taking clay from the earth and shaping it into things useful and decorative, was one of the world’s first artisans. Today, in a time charactized by mass production and fast-paced industry the profession has undergone a revival. The potter has come of age again in the past thirty years. June Jordan, visiting assistant professor of art at the University of West Florida, is one of those who have chosen to make a living from the potter’s wheel. Miss Jordan decided she liked the professional aspects of pottery rather than teaching after receiving her bachelor of fine arts and master of fine arts degrees from the University of Georgia, so in 1966 she opened her own shop. At the shop, located in the Blue Ridge foothills at Washington, Va., she produces and sells her pottery. She also has outlets in Atlanta, Ga., Richmond, Va., and Charlottesville, N. C. When asked if the profession was profitable she said, “you really have to hustle to make what people would call a good living. I prefer not to hustle. You CLORE FUNERAL HOME “The Home of -Thoughtful Service’’ Culpeper, Va. Phone 825-2361 Ambulance Service With Oxygen have to make a choice. It’s what 1 want to do.” Miss Jordan closed her shop and came to UWF last quarter. “We’re just setting up the program here,” she said. “We’ve just had the first Tiring of the University’s new kiln.” There is more to the art of pottery-making than forming clay and firing it, Miss Jordan explained. The developing and mixing of the clays and glazes is as important as the actual working on the pots. Some potters dig and refine their own clay. Today most potters buy their clay in the dry form and by mixing different types of clay: can compose a clay body of the desired consistency. Clays range from coarse to smooth in consistency and from light buff to black in color. UWF students will be sent out of clay digging expeditions later this quarter near the campus’ old fish camp. The clay found on campus is light buff in color. Before it can be shaped, the clay must be “wedged” to get rid of lumps and air bubbles. This process is similar to kneading dough. Alter wedging, the clay is formed by hand building or throwing on the wheel. Finishing techniques, such as trimming the foot, decorating or adding handles, are done when the pot is in a leather hard state. When the piece has dried it is bisque fired to about 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit. After this first firing the clay is hard, but still absorbent enough to hold a glaze. After glazing the pottery is refired at 2,200-2,300 F. This process takes frfrom 24 hours to three days. When it cools a finished product emerges. What are the advantages of working with clay? Its plastic qualities lend to a variety of techniques, pinching, coiling, slabbing and throwing. Clay can be built up or carved away and can be worked in a soft or hard state. “It is an inexpensive material,” said Miss Jordan. “The value coming from what you do with it.” It might well be called an earthy profession.

I was not sure at the time, but was thinking about the beauty of the dogwoods. My wife had just complimented me on making such a beautiful hill. I reminded her that the hill had always been there, that I had only removed the undesirable undergrowth and left the dogwoods and redbud, Judas if you prefer. I am only an instrument in the hands of the greatest Gardener, with His help the hill is more beautiful. Driving over to Culpeper a few days ago, suddenly a motorist left his line of traffic and was coming down hill at a terrific speed. I couldn’t get off the road so I stopped. My wife and grandchildren were screaming, I was thinking; IS THIS IT? I’ve often expressed a wish when my time comes it will be sudden and as painless as possible, (I’m a coward.) I don’t want others to be involved in my demise. Is it morbid to ask at a time when the Dark Angel hovers near, IS IT NOW? Several years ago I composed this poem and titled it: DOGWOODS ’66 I have this thing (Pardon the slang) Going with God That He grant me Another spring. May I assume That I’ll remain Till greening sod. And o’er hill and plain Dogwoods bloom. I found this poem in my scrapbook. The poet is not known, but the words seem especially fitting at this season. Oh there will come a time when April will Drive through a greening meadow once again.
