2: Refuse to resign, and (a) continue their divisive tactics to the detriment of the whole community until their terms run out, or other legal measures are found to terminate their tenure, or (b) continue their term in office but honestly study the ways available to them to help the citizens of the county achieve and maintain a school system which is as effective as possible. I hope each member of the School Board will consider seriously his relationship to the future of Rappahannock’s Schools.
A. Stanley Thompson, Sperryville
A host of activities is being planned for the Fourth of July celebration in Washington, Va. under the sponsorship of the Washington Business Council and the Washington Fire Department. A gala, old fashioned Fourth will begin at 10 a m. and continue all day, ending at 10 p.m. In a tour of the town you may find the village smithy hammering out his wares, see cloth being woven or wool spun. There will be demonstrations on seat caning and rushing, and the many steps of basketry or the fascination of a potter’s wheel may hold your attention. There will be many old time crafts demonstrated and products for sale. If this is not enough, there is more! A delightful music festival is planned, including the bluegrass, fife and drum corps, an organ recital, woodwind trio and the Rappahannock Chorus. Added to this will be buggy rides and games. In a patriotic spirit, a pageant with readings will remind everyone of the meaning of the celebration, our Independence Day. This will be directed by Mr. and Mrs. Waldron O’Connor. A food booth will be handled by the Ladies Auxiliary of the Washington Fire Department where home baked goods, ham biscuits, sandwiches, hotdogs, ice cream, coffee and drinks will be available and the Fire Department will serve a barbecue dinner starting and 4:30 p.m. The Ladies of the auxiliary will also have their Thrift Shop open for browsing or purchasing choice items at very reasonably priced. Another feature of the day will be the bicycle decorating contest under the auspices of Eileen Day, Realtor and the Business Council... Climaxing the day’s activities will be the annual fireworks display at Avon Hall, through the generosity of Mr. and Mrs. Carrigan. A patriotic program will precede the fireworks.
