SENATOR BYRD EXPRESSES VIEWS ON CONDITION OF NATION TODAY I believe the American Republic today faces its greatest peril. Decisions will be made in the few ntonths ahead which may will determine our destiny. From time to time I report to you the conditions as I see them. As the people of Virginia, you are entitled to all the information I can give you. As your representative in the Senate 1 desire your advice and counsel. The greatest force in our free democracy is an aroused and an enlightened public opinion backed up by facts. I am a member of the Armed Services and Finance Committees, otte dealing with our military defense, and t'.e other with the preservation of our economic system. Hatters are reported to these committees which in times such as these cannot always be divulged immediately^ Rut, 1 btelieve the American people should fcmnr the ""truth always providing that Its discourse does not jeopardise the welfare of the nation or its armed forces. I have observed,, however, that sometimes information already in the hands of the Russians is kept secret from dor own people. It1 is a fact that communists have infiltrated this country. By this I do not charge that communists hold high government positions, but I refer especially to the communist infiltration of our national industrial life. Communist infiltration is clover —and not always traceable. Unfortunately, for instance, we were unable, until it was too late, to trace the communist Fuchs who confessed that he betrayed our atom bomb secret to Russia and expedited her atomic production schedule by years. He was sent, here by England which vouched for his loyalty. Fuchs was tried in England for treason but he could die a thousand deaths and never repay the injury he has done free nations by his traitorous act. Two weeks ago it was clearly ..obvious to those inforaed of the*, "►fhcirfhat AmedattTtiSdpe boihr to be evacuated from Korea as speedily as possible. Our forces, according to reports by General Mac Arthur, are faced in combat with a million Chinese and 200,000 North Koreans. We have no training combat reserves in Korea, in Japan, or in this country, except one division find we have been notified that the United Nations will send no reinforcements. v In simple language we are .outnumbered and defeated in Korea to the extent that death or capture is inevitable unless retreat and evacation is possible. I repeat, we cannot send reinforcements from Japan or from this country and reinforcements are not forthcoming from our United Nations members. We have stripped our own defenses at home so that today we hare one lone well-trained divis(See BYRD, page 5.) Slate Mills HD. Club Met With Mrs. H. D. Burke ' Mrs. J. B. Burke entertained the Slate Mills Home Demonstration club last Tuesday, December 12. This club as many other clubs in the county, decided to give a radio program some time during the month of June. As this is the month for gifts, Christmas trimmings, and party giving, the agent gave .some ideas on the above subjects. The demonstration given mainly emphasised “Wrapping Christmas Presents,” but a few ideas were given on how to make your own Christmas trimmings, and on party favor making. The $K>ste8s served delicious cake and cocoa. Her. decorations followed the Christmas line. ;■ v; Sperryville Room Mothers Hold Meeting Dec. 14 Mrs. W. H.

Lyne - County Agent ' Several days ago while discussing the approaching Christmas (with a friend, that friend remarked “I declare with all the strife in the world today it is nigh impossible for me to look forward to Christmas with any happiness or enthusiasm.” This friend wasn’t about to give up yet I realized there were many other people who felt just like this friend. Just a short while afterward came a Christmas greeting from my State boss, the Director of the VPI Extension Service—a man I am proud to work under—a man I wish you all could know better. To me thfe greeting contains a fair sample of what “Diet’,’ is like and certainly^sut1' passes any timely greeting I could write Or send to any of you. GREETINGS! Dear Friends: I heard the bells on Christmas Day Their old familiar carols play, And wild and sw$et the word* repeat Of peace on earth, good-will to nun. -7 And in despair I bowed my head, “There is no peace on,, earth,” I ‘ “For hate is strong and mocks the song Of peace on earth, good-will to men." Christmas 18>63!t Then Henry Wadsworth Longfellow looked out over America in the throes of civil war. Brothers were aligned against brothers. Peace seemed far away. As be heard the Christmas bells ring out is it strange that he questioned their massage? Christmas 19501 Today our Nation is at war. No one can forsee the future. Peace seems far away. So we are tempted as individuals and as a Nation to question, tp give way to despair. The hope of the world at such a time lies in personal, consecrated service to our fellowmen. We in the Extension Service have a great responsibility and a fine opportunity at such a time. Over a period of years, unset Ah service :to the people has won their respect and confidence, In. |he trying days ahead we shall continue to fulfill opr trust, r : As Director, I am prdud of your (See RAPP-CHATS, page S.) .

Musis Secretary Pro-Tem The Rappahannock County P.T.A. met at the Rappahannock High School on Monday, December 18 at 7:30 p.m. C. E. Johnson president, called the meeting to order and the minutes of th|e last meeting were read and approved. Mr. Johnson said that the general opinion of most people in the county had been that having one high school in the county might not work because: (1) The children from the different schools might not get along together. (2) The building was not suitable. -. Johnson masked Mr. Wtnfrey to answer these questions. Mr. Winfrey called on the teachers present to give their opinions and he and all of the teachers agreed that the children had made the adjustment well, and that there had been very little friction among the children. As to the building itself Mr. Winfrey took us on a tour of the school and let us see the inadequacy there. Mr. Johnson then gave us a brief report of what he had found out by talkng to Senator Robert Button, member of the State Board of Education and Mr. How* ard, Superintendent of Public Instruction. The gentlemen said that the State has certain regulations for public buildings, such as certain sanitary requirements, lighting and ceiling heights, but that a school building could be made as plain at the people wanted it. We will) be eligible for the Battle Fund if a building plan for the next four years is submitted to Richmond by January 1, 1951. Submitting these plans does not necessarily mean that we must build, but it will make us eligible for our put of the Battle Fund. - Mrs. C. E. Johnson made'-H* motion the School Board of Rappahannock County be requested to submit a building plan for Rappahannock County by the first of of the year, applying for Rappahannock’s share in the Battle Found. This motion was seconded and passed by the organization. The acting secretary was asked to siibmit this to the School Board before their meeting Wednesday night. Mrs. Charles Green sent word that she was unable to serve as Treasurer of the Rappahannock County P.-T. A. Miss Owen made a motion that Mrs. Turner be (See P.-T.A., page 12.)

Subscription: ._$2.00 a year Christmas. The next few days will he celebrated throughout the land, in each family, among different faiths and nationalities, each man according to his own customs. Youngsters in school have carefully gathered information and facts and written their themes on customs in every land for celebrating the Christmas season. They will think that every child in The Netherlands will place his wooden ahoes for their interpretation of St. Nicholas to fill. Legend tells them that the saint rides a white horse and is accompanied by a colored servant, Ruppert, who places switches in the wooden . shoes of bed hoys and girls. The school children %rilfstudy farther and learn of the Scandinavian customs of feeding the animals extra on Christmas Day; the English Yule-log custom; tbs Spanish celebration in breaking the season’s clay bowl in which presents are . . kept. As these school children grow older they will begin to realize (that the Holy Season of Christ's Birthday is celebrated not by any set routine in any nation. The celebration is one of family customs. Here in the United States, and in Rappahannock county, the methods of observing the Christmas season vary with each household. To some it is a family gathering, a special season when the whole family “clan gathers” to renew family ties. To some it is accompanied by the custom of the family attending church, and their are mute evidences that the insistence that eVery member attend has met with some small difficulties. Little sister is apt to bring the new doll to church with her, refusing to part with it and mother and father haven’t time to argue iwith her. Little Brother is Hopalong Cassii dy in person, present in the family grou]^ in body only, for his mind is elsewhere on the trail of bad men. Mother and Father usually look a little haggard, the result of getting to bed late from all the Christmas secret preparations and then having the wild Indians of the family up Christmas morning ahead of the sun. To some the season is one of social hours; hours of pleasant visits and chatter among their friends. This Christmas season will be a happy one in many homes—as it should be. As in all years through the ages, there are many homes where sadness mars the season. Annually it is heard through the land that Christmas has become commercialized until it has lost its real meaning as the Season of the Greatest Gift from God to Man. There is no reason for this talk. The commercialized Christmas has been forced upon no one. Regardless of how dark the outlook is at this moment in history, we are free people still. We can accept or reject the “commercialism” as we please. If a man has become bound by a com roercialixed Christmas, it is b*> esnc be chose it sad he obviously preferred it. If he does not like the commercialized season, then he retains the form he pre-, fen. Being a Christian season of celebration, the church furnishes the center of the season's true service. The Miracle of ' the Holy Child returns to us each year. The Bible stories of Mark and Luke come to our ears and renew the thrill in hearing it again. Never during the year does music sound quite the same. The carols ring again, and unlike any other music, they cannot be ruined—regardless of how badly they are butchered by; some of these modern methods of Aadio and phonograph—for thq mind and heart hear the “Silent Night” rather than the ears. Our hearts still hear the Angelic Chorus, “Glory to God in the highest and on Earth Peace, Good-will to men.” Holiday Safety Comes again the happy Yuletide and we prepare to cross the threshold of a new year which we hope will see us free from the horrible insecurity of the present international fiasco. Back in the First Century B.C., Pliny the Elder wrote: “With man, most of his misfortunes are occasioned by man.” Somej, 1760 years’ later Bobby Burns echoed the observation with, “Man’s inhumanity to man makes countless thousands mourn.” “Man’s inhumanity to man” is a thought upon which we can. ponder long. Two thousand years since we were given the Christian faith, yet not only have we failed to eliminate war but wars become succetediitgly more hideous and disastrous. Both authors, Roman and Gael, make a tragic parody of the Christian Faith’s basic tenet of goodwill to men. Nbt only has this inhumanity brought us the portent of national disaster but an absolutely pre-t ventable casualty list which dwarfs the dismal roll from the frozen rice paddies of Korea in size and heartache if not in news value. So ingrained in our very beings is the theory of goodwill at Christ* mastime that many Americans of non-Christian faith, while not observing the same religious significance of the season, manifest their love for fellow men in much the same way as Christians. Still, an estimated 90 percent of what we call traffic “accidents” are occasioned by violations of the Golden Rule and, here, after more than 2000 years of a faith based upon it, we not only are harassed by wars and rumors of wars but are fast making the worst traffic death record since 1946. About 900 people iwill have 'been cata-i paulted into eternity at the year’s end by the willful negligence of their fellow beings. People who make war do it to advance their own interests. In these cases there is wealth, power and territory at stake. While war mongering—to put it mildly —is greatly to be deplored, warmongers strive for some very concrete gain. The same holds thru® usually with a murderer. As antisocial as is his behavior, he seeks some large personal gain. How about those 900 traffic deaths? Each death was occasioned because someone wasn’t willing to lose a few seconds, didn’t take the trouble to have his car repaired, insisted upon driving or walking when he was in no physical condition to do so or some such trifle as that. In other words, we have 900 deaths because people simply wouldn’t make minor con f MAKE IT A MERRY CHRISTMAS. .. . . . all through your homo! Add comfort and convenience fa your homo by remodeling!

With the beginning of the paper’s second year, the nicest notes have been arriving. Many of the people we don’t even know, except by their handwriting, but the notes of encouragement and the pleasure they receive from their copies of Rappahannock News is just like so many Christmas presents to the printers. We work hard to have the paper please the readers, and when they take the time and trouble to notify us that they enjoy the paper, we are exactly like a bunch of kids when praised for bringing home a good report card! For all the lovely thoughts expressed to us at the printing office, in turn, we wish for each of you a very pleasant holiday season and the hope that the coming year will be one of happiness and prosperity for you and all your family and kin. * * * With the coming- of Christmas Day, again there arises in the hearts of a few of us extreme pity for the few who have to celebrate :*theff birthdays darthe ©n*jiay inthe year when they were going to get a present anyway. One fellow in a neighboring community, whose birthday falls on December 26, insists that he must receive two presents and that it’s not his fault be was born on Christmas Dayl He won’t even let the regular Christmas baking take the place of a birthday cake and has to have a separate one baked. (He’s lucky to be able to get by with all that ordering about of the household.) * * * It is evident that the Walrus is not the only one who resorts to such low-brow reading matter aa “Alice Through hte Looking Glass,” for a cartoon in a recent daily showed two more characters f.em another poetic (?) narrative from that same book. The cartoon depicted a man of the government telling “Tweedledum and Tweedledee” that it was time for them to be put aside in this national emergency. Tweedledum and Tweedledee, so the story goes, “agreed to have a battle; for Tweedledum said Tweedledee had spoiled his nice new rattle. Just then flew down a monstrous crow, as black as a tar-barrel; which frightened both the heroes so, they quite forgot their quarrel.” * * * One of the most charming of this year's Christmas stories was the one that came from Richmond of the Sunday School class who is making Christmas for the Swift Run Gap mission in Greene couni ty. The youngsters of the city Sunday School class started their gathering of presents at the Christmas season some years ago when they heard the story of want in the mountain mission territory. This year their industrious saving cessions towards a proper and just sharing of the highway with their fellow men. This occurred despite the fact that in 1949 it meant death for one or more persons in 706 cases, injury in more than 11,000 cases and property damage in some 66,000. Virginia motorists and pedestrans learned no lesson from that but came back strong to worsen the record this year. The inhuman side of the story lies in their absolute refusal to inconvenience themselves to the slightest degree by sharing the road properly or considering human life.

There •re two American divisions in ' Europe. One is adequately trained for combat. ' '0 The war in Korea started a* a police action. It developed into the fourth greatest war in .our history. The implications of this action and the military reverses which resulted have brought about national peril in a degree which we have never faced before in our history. After spending more than fifty billion dollars for defense in the past five years we were able to field in Korea no more than 200,000 soldiers equipped to fight. It is not my purpose mt this time to discuss the responsibility for this failure beyond the point necessary to correct the conditions which brought about our deplorable predicament. This is a United Nations war,' but tbo United States is fighting it and taking the consequences. Nearly six months ago the United Nations appealed to its membership of 65 nations to supply troop* and material for its action hi Korea. For weeks the response was negligible. After nearly six months a total of only about 20000 troops havo been sent to fieixtfonce the American forces. Of these 60 percent are British and 26 percent are Turkish. Together all other United Nations troops, ineluding the British and Turks, total only about 6 percent of the American and South Korean forces. Of all the 56 United Nations members only nine, including the United States, furnishes any combat troops in Korea. . Perhaps the greatest of all the tragic implications coming out of the United Nations failure in Korea is that it is another successful step in the Russian effort to destroy freedom and democracy in la series of side-line wars which expose neither Russian soldiers nor Russian arms. If we continue to become involved in every war touched rdf and directed by Rua— eia in remote parts of the globe we shall divide our strength, dissipate our military and economic^ power, and in time ourselves become anj easy prey, for. Russian aggression. Russia controls the war making timetable. As I have stated frequently in the past, it baa been my judgment for a long time that Russia hase been wagring a war of economic and military attrition against the United States. She seeks first to destroy our 6cbn-. omy which is the foundation for our mass production capacity to turn out more military armament and material than the rest of the world combined once we set our FARMS WANTED I have several preferred customers desiring to purchase farms ranging in price from $10,000 to $15,000.

As a member of the Senate Services Committee I pledge to you that I will do all in my power to provide an impregnable national defense. I am for compulsory military training. I am for a trained army within our borders. I am for a navy second to none. .1 am for an air force of 70 groups or more. I am for a radar screen around this country. I have been advocating and voting for these things for years. We do not have them now. We shall do our level best to prod those responsible to get them quickly. On the civilian side we must recognize and make the sacrifices required in the deep adjustments which are necessary to our federal domestic policies and our personal conditions. * .. we must stop the give-away programs at home and abroad. We must eliminate $6 billion or more in federal budget items for non-defense spending. I shall make a speech Very shortly in the Senate, outlining necessary reductions in detail. We must tax every dollar to the greatest extent that our private enterprise system can stand and even then there is little hope1* that federal revnue will match federal expenditures. We must work longer hours, and accomplish more. _ We must mobilize to its utmost the industrial capacity of this country and immeasurably increase the production of those things needed for our military security. We must accept a period of austerity such as our generation has not known. All these things must be done to save us. They can be done only by the force of public opinion enlightened by the facts which confront us, and a will to do those things for our own protection which is in jeopardy—not in the future—now!

Russell Wood; And whereas, Brother Wood labored long and faithfully in the service of the Flint Hill Baptist church, he beings a life member of the Board of Deacons and treasurer of the Sunday school for more than twenty years; And whereas, he gave of his time freely and unstintedly to the work of his church and his denomination, never shirking a task that presented itself and never counting the cost in time or otherwise that his work demanded, ever putting the work of his Savior before his earthly activities; never losing sight of his duties to bis home and family wherein he was a devoted husband; showing always kindness and regard for his fellow man as his Savior taught. • And whereas, his passing has brought grief to those who labor after him, even though in the knowledge that his life was well spent and that he has been gathered to his Heavenly Father; It is resolved that a page be set aside in the minutes book of the Flint Hill Baptist church as a memorial to his life and work and that a copy of these resolutions be sent to his family and that they be published in the Religious Herald as a testimony to the love and respect in which Brother Wood was held by this congregation.

The handbook lists the conservation practices which the Rappahannock PMA County Committee has selected as the most needed and adaptable to local agriculture, •Mr. Barksdale, the Committee’s chairman said. The chairman noted that the practices are Very similar to those approved under the 1950 program and emphasize building soil reserves as a defense measure. Mr. Barksdale said that farmers will be encouraged to stockpile plant food reserves by growing more green manure and cover cropsl Emphasis is also placed on improving pasture lands through the use of. lime, fertilizer, and better seeding. Rappahannock county farmers will begin signing 1951 ACP worksheets on January 2, 1951. At the same time, they indicate the conservation practices which they intend to carry out, they may also place orders for materials.

DECORATION SUGGESTION For your centerpiece foT Christmas, use a flat-bottomed potato as a base to keep the greens fresh longer, and it makes a very attractive decoration. Place the potato in the bottom of a container, stick boxwood, holly, or whatever greens you prefer, into the potato, leaving enough space to place a big white candle in one end. A large red bow will decorate the candle. You may also use silver or gold pine cones in this arrangement.

Notes From The County Agent’s Office A tightening of supplies for all household equipment, with price changes upward but varying with individual items, is predicted for 1961. Economists *who have recently compiled their 1951 “outlook" information for farm families, say also that another group of commodities, including sheets, linens, rugs, towels, and upholstered furniture, will be more in demand— but shorter in supply. Production of furnishings for civilian use will be cut substantially below current rates in the early part of 1961. Supplies of certain types of clothing and textiles may be relatively; short during the year when higher purchasing power is diverted to these products. There fore, farther increases in clothing prices at the retail level are likely. The tight supply situation for several building materials is like* ly to continue until the seasonal down-turn in building activity. V, Additional hospital facilities in Virginia’s rural areas are expected during 1951, hut mainly in the wealthier sections. A recent study in Virginia showed that in 19 counties there were 5,090 to 10,000 people per doctor, and in € counties there were over 10,000 people per doctor. Lack of adequate facilities discourages medical personnel from getting into certain areas, and also retards the work of those already there. The economists say one answer to the problem undoubtedly lies in encouraging youth reared in the country to enter the medical profession. * * * Among the swine sales, spon' sored by the Virginia Purebred Swine Breeders’ Association, to be held this winter, one will be in Winchester, February 9. It is estimated that about 60 •'head will be offered at this sale. AH offerings will be from litters of five or more pigs. Good boars on Rappahannock farms are far too scarce.

Boxwoods of “Rose Hill” ..... By lUrr Elisabeth Hit* The Rappahannock Garden Club held it* December meeting at “Rose Hill,” home of Mrs. W. C. Hall. Mm. John B. Revercomb was joint hostess with Mrs. Hall. Mrs. George Davis showed Christmas decorations and attractive, original gift wrappings. The president Mrs. Ned Jones discussed the possibility of a music colony in Rappahannock and great interest was manifested by the club members. These music colonies have made many of the rural districts which they have adopted, famous. The Bezkshires in Massachusetts have had mueh added to their fame by the leader of the Boston Symphony Orchestra and seme of its members making their summer home in these mountains. Serge Koussevitsky has orchestral concerts in this wonderfully beautiful setting of the mountains, therby making a cultural enter that attracts people from every part of the country. A vision of out-of-door concerts in the lovely hills of Rappahannock is most intriquing. On this bleak December day magnificent old “Rose Hill" was like unto , a great rose made to bloom in the midst of snow-covered mountains, looking out from the great windows <we looked on the most exquisite ancient English boxwood. It has taken the best part of two centuries to grow such as this. Eliza Green Lane, wife of William Armistead Lane, here planted her garden with boxwood, on either side the long gravel walk it grew, and in her garden, to the side of the house. When Julia, young daughter of the house married James Jett and went to be the mistress of “Ellerslif," she must also have a boxwood garden. It was in 1816 that she carried plantings from her mothers garden to “Ellertlie." It was in 1926 they came seeking boxwood for the Bishop's Garden. Even though the mansion house at “Ellerslie” was in ruins the boxwood grew more beautiful with the years. • It grows now for all to see in the Bishop’s Garden at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., a descendant of the boxwood at “Rose Hill.” Helen Lane (Mrs. Arthur Johns), beauty and belle of “Reconstruction” days, was invited to view the boxwood of ' ' * t '5 X. • • V - • ' ‘ ' / ■' '• ' V ■ ' - Interest Expressed In Prqposed Rappahannock , County Music Center The announcement that thia county had been selected as the summer music center, by the Virginia State Orchestra has caused considerable comment and much interest among music lovers and those who are interested in seeing Rappahannock county on the map. i - The Rappahannock Garden Club at its meeting a few days age went on record as favoring the idea and offering co-operation. The Rappahannock ParentTeachers Association at its meeting Monday night voted approval implying whatever co-operation might be required. It nas been pointea our mat chambers of commerce and other civic bodies frequently put forth strong efforts and spend considerable sums of1 money to seek the recognition that has come to us voluntarily. Since other counties are eager for the honor of being the summer music center of the State, and the requirements to meet the conditions of the State organization are so mild and reasonable, it seems likely that there will be sufficient response to assure the establishment of the proposed center by the spring of next year. Since the State orchestra is a purely non-profit organization and offers to bring competent music teachers here for the summer, and train young people in music and provide several high-class concerts for this community if we show enough interest to provide a modest sum of money through patronage memberships and contributions, it seems that the county huts everything to gain and nothing to lose by accepting the honor placed before it. Several suggestions for housing the concerts are being considered, including the use of one of the school buildings at least for the her family, transplanted as she had been from “Rose Hill” in Rappahannock. “Silvery with flecks of white flint, beaten hard into the ground by the passing of feet, this garden pathway is bordered with boxwood whose wonderful beauty casts a spell.” : A FEW LAST MINUTE SUGGESTIONS BEFORE CHRISTMAS AMERICAN FLYER TRAINS FLEXIBLE FLYER SLEDS BICYCLES TRICYCLES TRAINER BIKES SCOOTERS WAGONS HOLSTER SETS COWBOY SUITS POOL TABLES ERECTOR SETS WOODBURNING SETS DOLLS DOLL CARRIAGES G AMES ' DOLL HOUSES TABLE AND CHAIR SETS DESKS BLACKBOARDS 1 ■ -•—! | TOYLAND - SECOND FLOOR i AT ; BRADFORD’S STORE f OPEN EVERY EVENING UNTIL 10:30 f : f FLINT HILL, VIRGINIA first year.

Those who have met Mr. William Haaker, the director of the State symphony, and his wife, have been favorably impressed by them and would welcome- them as assets to the county. Mr. Haaker ranks high in professional music circles. He was trained at the famous Eastman School of Music in Rochester, N.Y. He has established and operated a music center in the Ozarks of Arkansas, which has received much favorable comment. Folk music and symphonies pleasing to the average ear are featured by Mr. Haaker.

To Farmers In . Rappahannock County Some fanners in this part of the State have been selling sod in the past few yean to real estate firms for landscaping new developments. The Virginia PMA State Committee 'has stated that this is a practice that tends to defeat the purpose of the Agricultural Conservation Program. They have therefore outlined the policy that no assistance can be allowed tinder the 1951 Agricultural Conservation Program to any farmer selling sod in 1951. This does not mean that farmers who have sold sod in 1950 or previous years are not eligible for assistance under the 1951 Program. It does mean that if you sell sod from your farm in 1951, you will not be eligible to receive any assistance in 1951. If you should receive conservation materials through the program and then sell sod later in 1951, you will he required to refund to the government the amount of any materials furnished you.

P.-T.A (Continued from page 1.) made treasurer. This motion was seconded and carried and the acting secretary was asked to inform Mrs. Turner. Mr. Winfrey was asked to advise us as to some of the present needs of the school. He said that they needed a new curtain for the stage—the cbst of this will be from $600.00 to $800.00. Also there is an outdoor drinking fountain at the school which needs to be installed. Mr. Johnson then introduced Mr. Hening from Sperryville who talked to us about Mr. Haaker, director of the Virginia Symphony were very much taken with Rappahannock county* and would like to settle here next summer and give about three concerts. Their idea is to develop a music center in Rappahannock county on •-.)[ modest scale. This would not be a money-making proposition. To finance this they would call on the music lovers to subscribe a nominal sum. They hope to do the same thing for music here that the Barter Players did for the •tags in Abingdon. Mr. Hening wanted to know if our organization was interested in the project. ,. Mrs. Jack Bruce made a motion that this organization go on record as indorsing the project as outlined by Mr. Hening, this motion was seconded and approved ^ by the organisation. „ This being all of our bnsinwe ' wo adjourned to meat again JaauIS .S£y-5 *.t ‘ . * i > jSg . f ■' . t/ ■ ■ ' • ’ •, ■ l Telephone Price Increase To Begin Jimurjr 15,1951 • With application to the State Corporation Commission, the Virginia Telephone and Telegraph Company has announced a price increase in the regular service charges to begin January 15, 1951. These increases in rates do not affect toll calls, but only the regular charges for telephones. The new scales, which affects the Washington and Huntly section of the county is listed as follows with .the old rate and the new proposed rate. Private phone—business, $4.25, $5.70; residence, $2.85, $3.70. 2-party line — business, $3.75, $4.60; residence, $2.60,( $3.VO. 4-party line—Business, $3.25, $3.85; residence, $2.35, $2.60. Rural—Business, $3.50, $3.85; residence, $2.50, $2.75. Extension —: Business, $1,25, $1.50; residence, $1.00, $1.10. This increase in rates does not affect the eastern and southern parts of the county—Sperryville, Woodville, Amissville, Castleton, and Slate Mills—since they are on the C & P Telephone Company exchanges. In making the application to the State Corporation Commission for the increase in rates, the Virginia Telephone and Talegraph Company stated that the increased rates would result In about #1*40,000 annually to the company. The application stated that the present, rates were not sufficient to meet the demands of subscribers for additional telephone service and improved service. The authorized present rates •were in effect before World War II, and since that time wages and materials have constantly grown larger with no increase in charges, the telephone company stated. The company found this increase imperative and so stated to the State Corporation Commission. In addition to the phones at Washington and Huntly in Rappahannock county, the following cities are also affected by this rate increase: Altavista, Btaeksrtone, Brookneal, Brodnax, Buckingham, Burkeville, Crozet, Charlottesville, Crewe, Dillwyn, Fork Union, Front Royal, Halifax, Kenbridge, Hampden-Sydney, Luray, Palmyra, Rustburg, Scottsville, Shenandoah, South Boston, South Hill, Stanardsville, and Victoria.
