Rappahannock News, November 29, 1951

M WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER, 23, 1951 VOLUME 3—NUMBER 4 12.00 PER YEAR Look Before You Give In these days of many appeals and hard-pressed dollars, it is plain common sense to look before we give, making certain our humanitarian gifts buy maximum ben. fdits and that the intergrity and record of sponsoring organizations merit our support. Ohe cause that njtfueationably -deserves wholehearted public co-operation is the ^annual Christmas Seal Sale spon1 sored by the Rappahannock County Tuberculosis Association. LOOK AT THE PURPOSE Christmas Seal proceeds are used to fight tuberculosis, most lethal killer among all infectious diseases. LOOK AT THE NEED. The need is great. It is estimated that approximately 600.000 persons in the United States now have active tuberculosis apd that one half of this number are unknown to health authorities and, in many instances, are unaware that they have the disease. TB is - the first cause of death from disease in all persons between 16 and 36 and in the population as a whole kills more people than any other infectious diseases. TB kills 40,<000 persons a year, 100 a day. It strikes 100,000 new victims annually. It * robs people of the prime of life, putting wage earners and homemakers ont of action when they axe needed most. TB can destroy health even when It due* not kiH. Patients may have to spend months or years in a TB hospital or sanitorium before they are cured. LOOK AT THE RECORD Progress has been made. Tha Rappahannock County Tuberculosis Association, along with all the 8,000 TB associations affiliated with the National Tuberculosis Association, have played a major role in cutting down the TB death rate 35 per cent since 1000. Since that time, TB has been cheated of 6,000,000 American lives, for that is the number who would have died of TB in the intervening years if the death rate had continued at the 1900 rate. These accomplishments are possible thanks largely to the efforts of TB associations like ours, which help to discover home-town TB ' victims, support rehabilitation programs, and teach people how TB can be prevented and how to avoid spreading it to their family, » friends, and neighbors. They also help support valuable medical .research. LOOK HOW THE FUNDS ARE USED. The work of the tuberculosis associations is supported^ by Christmas Seal Sales. 50 per cent of all Christmas Seal proceeds remain right here in the county where they are raised. The Christmas Seal Sale supplies the funds for our Rappahannock r''unty< Tuberculosis Association in important fight to control and tome day annihilate TB in our community. they helped to make possible the mobile x-ray clinics, board for indigent patients in a sanitorium and a large contribution toward the county’s financial part in maintaining a Health Department to instruct patients and their families in the care of tuberculosis in the home. 50 per cent of Christmas Seal funds is forwarded to the state association for research and education Six per cent is sent to the National Tuberculosis Association, which provides advice and consuls ation to state and local associations, produces materials for the use of the associations, and makes grants for medical research. All this work is vital to the perjpponal health and happiness of all “ die season, us. In our Christmas dollars not only ease the suffering'of others, but, tike the bread unen f the is <«ee SEAL*, p*fi #| Verdict of Murder Returned for Gatewood The Jury, oat 40 minute*, returned a verdict of first degree murder against Otha McKinley Gatewood, Negro, for the fatal shooting of Morton (Brownie) Clanagan, Negro, three months ago. The verdict carried a penitentiary sentence of 80 years, but at the conclusion of the trial, Attorney Alfred M. Hickman, counsel for Gatewood, moved the Court to set aside the verdict aB ‘contrary to evidence.” The motion was continued and will be heard at a later date. The jury was composed of J. B. Johnson, foreman; W. H. Wood, Jr., 6. A. Nethers, Wade H. Massie III, J. R. Latham, T. F. Atkins, J. F. Yowell, John R. Revercomb, C. E. Johnson, Jr., Gibson Whorton, J. A. Courtney, and Charles H.

Lassiter will conduct a cut-out demonstration on “killing hogs” at Sperryville Locker Plant beginning at 10 a.m. 'Saturday, December 1, to show desirable methods in cutting out and curing pork on the farm. Plans are to have three large hogs on the grounds; two will be of approximately the same weight of which one will be overfat and the other of desirable finish, the third hog will be a heavy weight—450500 pounds. Also, the cut-out demonstration will be on carcasses from hogs of size and finish similar to those on foot and will show the comparative production costa on a pound of pork basis when feeding to a 200-225 lb. liveweight as compared to feeding a hog to 400-450 lbs. liveweight. Mr. Herring will also discuss curing of pork on the farm. With production costs high and swine prices low, it is hoped that the public will take advantage of this demonstration and come see and hear what these men have to offer. >It makes no never-mind whether you are fattening one or a carload of hogs or butchering 20 bead or but one—come; we’ll be glad to see you. ■, • * e A. T. Lassiter, Jr., associate animal husbandman of VPI, was ht Psppplwsifmfr county Friday, November 10, scoring the Sears-Roebuck Foundation gilts with Assistant County Agent, Bill Seville. Commented Mr. Lassiter, “Again 1 think you have one of the best Sears projects that I have seen since I have been in Virginia. All of those boys are certainly interested in their project and, too, they must have their father or grandfather backing them.” Although your scribe has not seen the projects in any other Virginia county, he agrees wholeheartedly that our boys are doing a fine job with their Poland China gilts. By “our boys” we mean: Melvin Williams, son of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Williams; Bradley Williams, son of Mr. and Mrs. Bradley Williams; Herman Williams, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Williams, Jr.; Ranny Settle, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Settle; and Joe Williams, son of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Williams., The following letter was just received—we hope it will be of interest to readers of this column: ‘The Virginia boys at the County Agents National Convention in Memphis gave us as a souvenir some of the most delicious apple juice my wife and I have ever had. I noticed this was packed by Blue Ridge Fruit Growers Co-op., Inc., under a Skyline label in Sperryville, Va. which I believe is in your county. If possible I would like to have a case of this in family size and wondered if you would be interested in trading with me in exchange for citrus fruits, if so, I will be very glad to make the exchange. If you do not care to make the trade, if it is not too much- trouble, I would appreciate your having these people ship me the juice.” Signed: C. R. Boyles, County Agent, Okeechobee county, Florida. I agree 100% with Boyles bn the flavor of this product apd though the kids make it difficult, try +o keep some in the refrigerator, at all times. You bet your boots well get the juice on the way to Mr. Boyles, however, what astonishes me most is the number of Rappahanock people who have missed completely the treat, of having a nice cold glass U ihpltae apple juice i . Change In Delegate For Rappahannock Listed by State Board The change for Rappahannock in the recommended redristricting plan for Virginia will fail only in the representative to the House of Delegates, since no change is recommended in the Seventh Congressional district nor the 24th State Senatorial District. The recommendation lists Rappahannock in a newly-arranged 27th District for House of Delegates, comprising Page, Warren, and Rappahannock. Charles B. Price of Stanley, Page county, is the present delegate for Warren and Page. ' The present Culpeper-Rappahannock combination would be broken by listing Culpeper with Fauquier as the 28th District. The new Culpeper-Fauquier combination will bring together Delegate D. French Slaughter of Culpeper, and Delegate Tom Frost of Fauquier. A bare majority of the State Redistricting Commission on Sat* urday recommended a plan for Virginia that would: (1) Create a new Tenth District of Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax and Falls Church—all to be taken out of the present Eighth •District. (2) Rebalance five districts by, reducing the Second and Third and enlarging the First, Fourth and remnant -Eighth. (8) Hakes no changes in the present Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Ninth District lines. Five members of the nine-man commission, which had wrestled for months with the politically unhappy task of preparing rodistricting legislation for the 1952 General Assembly, endorsed the plan. Four others diasentel sharply, but filed no substitute plan. The four dissenters held that the majority’s pattern posed too great a “disparity in population” --ranging from 263,854 in the Eighth to 446,200 in the Second. It would Violate State constitutional requirements as construed by the Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals, they said. All nine members, however, agreed in proposing a new format for General Assembly districts—a plan which generally would give more representation to heavily populated urban areas. The Assembly recommendations would make changes in 19 of the present 36 Senate districts and 32 of the present 79 House districts. from the standpoint of practical political amenities, the proposed congressional redistricting contained the virtue of not putting any two of the present Congressmen into he same district. In effect, it also leaves Representative Howard W. Smith, of the present Eighth District, in a position to choose whether he will have his residence in the Eighth or the new Tenth. Smith in recent years has made his home in Alexandria, but he also has spent considerable time at the Fauquier county farm which has been owned by his family for many years. Republican Trend in Tenth Political speculation has held that Smith probably will .. make Fauquier his legal residence and' stay in the Eighth, leaving the turbulent new Tenth to newcomers. Among prospective candidates in the Tenth, the name of State Senator Charles R. Fenwick, of Arlington, a Democrat, has been mentioned most frequently. The area of the proposed Tenth W shown a strong streak of Republicanism, however, as well as a rend to oppose the dominant State Democratic organisation. It is expected to be a hot battleground of. Democratic-Republican candidates. The majority’s redistricting plan otherwise should have little effect on the present political leaninm « (Sfe DISTRICTS, psgnff*

Rappahannock News FaMIsbcd Thursday Morning at Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia Dial Washington 2M1 LUCY CATHERINE BOWIE Publisher Entered aa second-dees mail matter at the post office at Washington, Virginia. Subscription: .... $2.00 a year The Hearth There is this about a chill November: It makes one appreciate a fireside. And there is this about a hearth: it calls for small company, for companionship. A hearth fire is a wasteful thing, in terms of economics. But so is much of the talk that generates beside an open fire, for it seldom settles big problems and it never pays the taxes. Much of it, like the heat from the logs on the andirons, goes up the chimney. But when you have said that, you have pretty well exhausted the case against the simmering log and the slow talk and the leisurely evening. And there still remains the reflected glow, which is its own excuse and needs no defense. . For there are times and occasions when quick heat and sharp words are among the world’s largest inefficiencies. Some things, and friendships and understanding are high among them, mature best by ember-light and in a small company. It is doubtful that mob rule was ever inspired by the slow gleam of a fireplace. The tinder of violence and fanaticism requires a bigger fire and larger arena. Philosophy. and faith are companions on the hearth, and ever have been. There are beter ways to heat a house, true, but neither love nor friendship is concerned too much with economics. Man built a home around his fire, and there {he family grew, to his fireside he brought his 'friends,, and friendship grew, and understandingjrSo hearth became home, and homeJbecame heart. And it has little changed over the centuries. What greater friendship than understanding? What deeper understanding is there than that which stands, back to hearth, and faces outer cold and darkness? — The New York Times.

Along with Revolutionary uniforms, Whitney’s cotton gin, and the “Spirit of St. Louis,” will go the penny postal. Lots of other items have fallen to the change of .the times. A pen. ny now is something to add on to a regular price, rather than being a purchasing piece of money in it9 own right. Some of us, who can recall when a penny bought a pencil, a stick of candy, and many other useful items, have watched the copper become less and less in value. Now, even the penny postal is gone. With February 1, 1952, you can no longer notify the fuel oil man nor the gas man by dropping the penny postal in the mail. Youngsters off at school 4*e going to be nurt by this death of the penny post card. It was just as convenient as a means of writing home for money as any other—and much cheaper. After February 1, it’ll take a three-cent letter to run all the little errands formerly done by the penny postal. o o ' o There’s nothing like getting your ears pinned back good and proper. After stating in a very » superior manner that 1 didn’t like television, the information was •passed a^ong, quietly but firmly, that many a man—and woman-expressed the saiqe opinion regarding the horseless carriage. Hereafter, maybe I should keep my opinions to myself. But that would take se much pleasure out of living. It s a free Moatqr still (t) rad I don’t have to like something just because other people do. “The sports are good on TV," says * friend. Wed, I’ll edge back a bit on my broad statement of dislike. The football games are fine; also the baseball series. And I confess the roller derbies Jure exciting; and the wrestling matches are as good a comedy as anyone wants to see. I’ll take a fair-sized dish of hockey. But-it’s still a free country, remember 1—111 not torture myself with the poor drama and the poorer vodvil, and the worst slap-stick. I still like my history and who-done-its printed. Let’s just compromise and admit that no one medium is complete in itself. Let TV take the sports, give radio to the commentators, hand the good drama to the legitimate theatre, stick to the movies for the colorful entertainment, give the phonograph to the musicans, and finally admit that books can push all of them close in a race. • o o There's something extra special in this time of the year. The air is crisp and cold—makes you step lively. After stepping around in the cold, getting the work done, there’s nothing that touches the luxury of the warm fire at the end of the day. Brisk stepping works up an appetite; food tastes good; you eat too much and then sit before a fire and watch the flames. That’s living! o o o A women was overheard the other day: “I'm all through for Christmas. My fruit cakes and mincemeat are made, and every present is bought, wrapped up, and tagged.” Madam, that ain’t even decent! ■Such efficiency represents the coldest, most mercenary exhibitionism yet beheld in this commercialized Christian season! Perhaps I have already taken my hike to locate a tree; I may even admit I tied a rag on it so I could find it easily on Christmas Eve. I may admit—under pressure— that one or two presents planned required some early preliminary work—but they axe not wrappel and placed on the closet shelf before December has even dawned! When I reach the time that Christmas can’t have some excitement and last-minute rush before the actual day arrives, I’m going to sleep through it. If I can’t be half worn-out by the time the carollers come around, it just won’t be Christmas! I approve of efficiency. Good business is right. Being prepared for certain times is all well and good-but that’s not Christmas and I refuse to have it that way. Christmas is a Very special timeall its own-and I'm not having mine spoiled by turning it into any modern-day assembly line of “getting things done” in any particularly efficient manner.

Puriot grammarians hare long contended no word should separate the preposition “to” from its verb. When Judge Scheinman found the phrases “to completely disregard” and “to so treat such a situation/' in the “Book Approval Jury Instruction” he remonstrated with the author, his fellow Los Angeles Jurist, William J. Palmer. Judge Palmer promptly wrote an opinion. He cited various authorities, in numerous grammatical texts, to bulwark his decision. Judge Scheinman capitulated yesterday. He wrote to Judge Palmer: “to always split an infinitive, I think, would be to sadly torture the English language. But it probably is all right to now and then split one.” This brings to mind another rule of the grammarians: “A preposition is not a good word to end a sentence with.” Too Little Calcium Causes Soft Shells Too little calcium in poultry feed may be to blame when hens lay soft-ehelled eggs. This tip comes from W. H. Lyne county agent, who says soft-shellcounty agent, who says soft shells may result when birds fail to get enough calcium from oyster shell or limestone in their feed. He advises keeping oyster shell in seperate hoppers before birds at all times. Keep the hopper free of litter and accumulated fine oyster shell powder. Mash, and to a lesser extent, animal protein concentrates, normally contain some calcium. Also listed as an important factor in producing sound egg shells is vitamin D. When short, cloudy winter days reduce the amount of this vitamin available from sunlight, oil or a dryvitamin D concentrate should be added to mash. the closet shelf, that’s all right with me, but I’m going to be at my home for Christmas—where there’ll be rush and hustle and bustle—and Iw don't* want to come near your house until around New Year’s.

Airy, NX.; spent Thanksgiving: with Mr. and Mrs. Burton Orange.* Fanii Hog Slaughtering Is Big Business Farm slaughter of hogs in Virginia is big business. . . -valued at over $20,000,000 last year. . .and farmers stand to lose much of the profit if they don’t follow some ' careful practices, warns George Herring, animal husbandman at V.P.I. Herring says the $20,000,000 represents about 43 percent of the total gross income from hogs in Virginia last year. A five percent loss in farm slaughtered pork, a conservative estimate, amounts to $1,000,000. Much of the loss can be avoided by proper slaughtering and handling. Some losses are caused by bad handling of hogs before killing. Avoid getting hogs heated or excited because it results in poor bleeding- Injuries to hogs may* cause spoilage of cuts. Improper sticking also may result in a poor bleed or in damage to the shoulders. The greatest cause of pork spoilage, however, is failure to get carcasses c h i 1 l.e d quickly Proper weather or refrigeration is necessary. Most of the 80 locker plants in Virginia are equipped after slaughtering, or are slaughtered there, temperature is no problem. Hogs can be killed when they are ready and when it's convenient. •However, if you depend on the weather to get hogs chilled, wait until a cold spell. There usually; will be several between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Killing the hogs in the early part of a cold spell is better than waiting until the weather starts to warm up. A weather report announcing the approach of cold weather may be used as a signal to get ready for , farm slaughtering. Carcasses will chill quicker if the leaf fat is removed after the hogs are dressed, and the hogs split down the middle of the back bone. This permits air circulation between the two sides. In nearfreezing weather carcasses will be thoroughly chilled by hanging over night, and ready for cutting and placing in cure by the next morn- " Insect damage, mainly caused by the skipper fly, is another source of pork losses- The skipper fly usually appears during* the first warm days of early February or March- If hogs are killed in early December, the meat can be cured, smoked, and properly stored before the fly arrives.

(Continued from page 1) Districts of the other districts. AH nine members of the commission ere Democrats who generally are in sympathy with the dominant organizations. Aside from putting the new Tenth in Northern Virginia— which had been expected—the majority's plan would involve these shifts by districts: First District — Loses Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania to the Eighth. Gains Charles City, James City, New Kent and Williamsburg from the Third. Second District—Shorn of Isle of Wight, Nansemond, Southampton and Suffolk, all transferred to the Fourth the new Second would include Norfolk, Portsmouth, South Norfolk, Princess Anne and Norfolk county. Third District—Of the present district, Hanover and King William would go to the Eighth, and Charles City, James City, New Kent and Williamsburg, to the First. This leaves a Third composed of Richmond, Henrico, Chesterfield and Colonial Heights. Fourth District — Keeping all present localities except Powhatan county, which is shifted to the Eighth, the Fourth would gain Isle of Wight, Nansemond, Southampton and Suffolk from.the Second. Eighth District — Retaining its present counties except for those making up the new Tenth, the Eighth would take Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania from the First, Hanover and King William from the Third, and Powhatan from the Fourth. Two 'Masts* Faced Planners Two “musts” faced the redistricters in their planning. One was the necessity of apportioning the State into 10 congressional districts—one more than the present total—because Virginia’s population growth from 1940 to 1950 entitled it to another seat in the House of Representatives. The other was the State Constitution’s requirement that congressional districts “be composed of contiguous and compact territory containing as nearly as practicable an equal number of inhabitants.” It was over the constitutional question that the majority and minority reports differed. Ideally, the commission noted, the population per district should be 331,668, or one-tenth of the State’s 3,318,660 population as re ported by the MSO Mason. The majority plan would five the Tenth tOS^SK population. For the revised districts, the proposed and present population figures are: (First, $12,327 and 314,000; Second, 443,200 and 323,000; Third, 334,127 and 385,000; Fourth, 832,058 and 250,000; Eighth, 263,000 and 507,000. Totals for unchanged districts are: Fifth, 316,784; Sixth, 337,947; Seventh, 281,325; Ninth, 390,380. The majority—Chairman Rey B. Davis, of Halifax; Senator Andrew W. Clarke of Alexandria; Senator W. C. Caudill of Giles; Delegate John Warren Cooke of Mathews; and Senator A. S. Harrison, Jr., of Lawrenceville — agreed that the Constitution requires “a reasonable adherence to equality of representation." But they believed “unusual cimcumstances . . . may modify this provision." Population Factor Invalidate* The minority—Delegates G. Edmond Massie of Richmond; George S. Aldhizer, II, of Harrisonburg; Harry B. Davis of Princess Anne, and duVal Ralford, of Bedford— thought the majority had modified the population factor to the point of invalidating the entire plan. Both groups recalled that the Virginia Supreme Court in 1982 nullified a redistricting act on grounds that it violated the Constitution’s mandate for practical equality in population. The minority added: “The lisparity in population in the majority report is greater than that” of the 1982 act junked by the Supreme Court. For this “and for other minor reasons which it is not deemed necessary to set out in detail,” the minority said they cannot “conscientiously concur” in the majority report. Difference in Districts The minority noted there is a difference between the smallest and largest district populations under the majority plan. To the majority the Supreme Court’s “language in the case of Browe vs. Saunders (the 1932 case does not necessarily require blind adherence to an average' when other factors must apply.” The other factors which impressed the majority were compactness and contiguity — including factors of distance, area, natural boundaries and communities of like interests.

In tackling the old oversized Second, the majority concluded "the most practical solution appeared to be the formation of a district with a city as the core, surrounded by satellite areas of like interest." They added: Their proposal "makes a big district from a population standpoint, but many people who live in Norfolk county work in one of these cities. Any other grouping would violate contiguity, compactness or mutuality of interest . . . The representative can visit any portion of the district quickly and easily." The Seventh District, said the majority, is "fairly low in population." But, they added, "it has been the long-established policy of Virginia to maintain the Valley of Virginia as a separate district. The mountains which form the eastern boundary of the district constitute a major barrier to communication should a county to the east of the mountains be added to the present district . . . The present Seventh is compact and contiguous, and the addition of any other area in an attempt to meet a criteria of population alone will defeat the other objectives.” The Eighth is left "sorely lacking in population” by subtraction of the new Tenth, the majority said. ‘TSven though low in population, the area is large,” they added. "Effective representation well nigh precludes the addition of more territory to the Eighth.” <T=- = ZF' PLOW WITH "RAZOR HADE" SHARIS YOU NEVER SHARPER L so low pHcod you throw mod ones away!

An indication of the extent that government—Federal, State and local combined—has grown in importance as a source of personal income, counting only direct payments to individuals, is provided by figures compiled by the U. S. Department of Commerce. These figures, which cover the trend; and origin of State and regional income payments to individuals over the last two decades, show that aggregate Government payments of this type came to a record *35.2 billions last yean This sum was the equivalent of One-sixth of every dollar of income received by the American people from all sources in 1950, a proportion that in the past was topped only during World War II when an adnormally high level of Government personal income payments was to be expected. Need For Economy Rims Government income payments to individuals consist primarily of the public civilian payroll, pay of the armed forces including family allowances, various benefit payments such as those to veterans and from social benefit funds, and 5 publie assistance and other birect relief. They include Fereral, State and locally-owned Government business enterprises. Such payments in the aggregate, therefore, measure only in part the full impact of Government spending on the nation’s economic activity, especially today. In view of the rise in expenditures at all levels of Government over the years, particularly in the Federal sphere, the question of how and where Government bodies are spending the people’s money, and to what extent efforts at economy are being practiced, are matters of increasing national concern. These questions apply with eren greater force unde* „$oday’s condition's in view of the Sit of rearmanent, the record rden of taxation now borne by i people at large end by business and industry, and the fact that unbalanced Federal budgets and renewed deficit financing are again in prospect despite a flow of revenues far greater than any in the past. Growth trends Compered It is significant to note in this connection the extent that combined Government income payments to individuals have grown as compared with other major sources of personal income over the years. Trade and services represent the biggest single source of personal income- Back in 1929 this classification represented 24.4 per cent of total income payments to individuals. The proportion last year was 26.3 per cent of the total, representing a gain of about 8 per cent in the period in the contribution of trade and service income to the people’s total income. Rabies Epizoodic Still On The rabies epizoodic in foxe3 in Fauquier county is not abating, states Dr. W. R. Johnson, health department official. Last week four fox heads were submitted to the laboratory for reports and this week three fox heads were sent. All seven heads were reported positive for rabies. Dr. Johnson concludes tha£ the epizodic recognized since February x»f this year will probably not end until foxes are so few that traffic between infected dens and uninfected dens ceases. Dr. Johnson believes that Rappahannock county has been protected by the river barrier. Loudoun county has no such protection and is now experiencing the epizoodic. t Dr. Johnson states that wise dog owners will see that their dogs are protected from rabies by regular annual vaccination. Dogs, by their intimate association with humqna, are thfe source of almost all hutnari rabies. Dr. Joiftisoft cautions that there is - no authentic case of human or canine rabies having ever recovered. --rfIN MEMORIAM In loving remembrance of our father and husband, Henry Taylor Whorton, who departed from this world, November 26,1950.

HOMEMAKERS’ ITEMS It pays to weatherstrip doors and windows! Extension specialists at V.P.I. say cracks around doors and windows can account for as much as 25 percent of the heat loss in an average home. Weatherstripping alone will cut down both heat losses and drafts, and the savings in fuel and int creased comfort soon justify the cost. When weatherstripping is used along with insulation and storm windows, the benefits increase. > The best weatherstripping is the metal kind which requires grooves cut into the window sashes and frames. This kind of insulation requires special tools in the hands of a skilled worker. However, there are several other kinds of .weatherstripping on the market which can be tacked to the sash or frame. The cheapest kind is felt which comes in a roll. It will give reasonably good service for one or two seasons, but tends to shrink and break, and then needs replacing. A more durable and effective type is made of light metal ©15 wood with a felt interior. The felt protrudes far enough to make a tight seal between the sash and frame. Directions for installing each kind usually are provided by the manufacturer. One general rule is to have the windows or doors closed and locked while attaching the strips. This makes for a closer I fit and better seal. Ilf the crack at the bottom of the door is too wide to be sealed with weatherstripping alone, screw a strip of wood to the bottom edge [ of the door. Sometimes there are other cracks and small openings around door and window frames which should be closed with caulking compound. It is usually possible to borrow or rent a caulking gun to ; apply the compouhd properly. ;State Horticultural Society Hosts to .National Group The Virginia State Horticultural Society will ba host te the American Pomological Society at its 56th annual meeting in Roan'oke, January 7, 8, and 9. John Watson, Staunton, secretary of the Society, said the program committees of ~the two organizations have arranged an'toutstanding program.” it Monday morning, January 7, the groups will boar discussions on merchandising and advertising the apple crop. That afternoon, production of cherries, mouse control, and grower-processor relations, will be discussed. Monday night the V.P.I. student speaking contest, and a lecture by Dr. Walter Flick, Washington and Lee University, .will be featured. Tuesday morning sessions will be devoted to “Harnessing Hormones'* an d1" Peach Varieties and Trends.” Tuesday afternoon, the group will hear lectures on apple and peach harvesting and storage problems. Speaker for the annual banquet Tuesday night will be Sam Fraser, Rochester, New York, secretary, International Apple Association, who will speak on “Economic Trends in the Fruit Business.” In addition, recongnition will be given members of +he Pomological Society, and Applachian Quality Apple Club membership awards and Wilder medal awards will be given. i The Wednesday morning session will feature discussions on fruit spray problems. The women’s Auxilary of the ISociety .will hold concurrent sessions. Watson said additional speakers will be announced later. Lice Control on Cattle Needed Before Putting In Winter Quarters Treat cattle for lice before put. ting them in winter quarters. That’s the advice from J. 0. Rowell, Extension entomologist at V.P.I., who warns that lice often are the cause of declines in milk and beef production. They ■should be destroyed any time they are found on animals, but it is especially important to control them at this time of year, since the lice reproduce and spread rapidly among cattle in warm, congested quarters. A single thorough treatment with a 1J percent DDT spray will eliminate lice completely, but should not be uged on* cattle 'n the milking herd of being finished for slaughter. ___r One application of a lindane spray can be used on dairy anmals and beef animals alike. Apply lindane at the rate of li pounds of a 25 percent gamma wettable powder to 100 gallons of water.

REP. HARRISON CRITICIZES ADMINISTRATION CHICANERY V'T*•••■' 1 vVr.'f , ' s ■' Tli* following • pooch wm made by Representative Burr P. Harrison at 4 recent mooting of the Chamber of Commerce in I- Harrisonhnrg. Extracts of his I talk appeared hi the Harrison* I hnrg newspaper, and a small part of it was broadcast over the Harrisonburg radio station. ' Rep. Harrison furbished a copy of the speech upon request and it is published, complete. I am honored that you asked me o coma to this banquet. 1 am iroud in these serious times, to reiresent Rockingham County and larrisonburg National Legislate. These times wouldn't be so roubleaome if we could instill ino the nation’s leaders in Washingon the type of thinking that is ►revalent in Rockingham County rod Harrisonburg. If the people in Washington thought like the people of this Valley area: 1. The Government today would lot owe over 270 billion dollars. , 2. The Government wouldn’t be pending today between 85 and 90 billions a year. 6. ine tax take from the people wouldn’t be running' about 70 bill* ion a year. 4. Communists wouldn’t lie swarming over our Capital and into the bloodstream of almost all American effort. 6. And dishonesty and graft wouldn’t be prevalent among those in high government positions. The clean intensive thinking characteristics of the people of this Valley, is the prime need of the Nation at this moment-thinking based on intergrity,, not only in Washington, but throughout the United States, and in the international councils of the free world. The salvation of the free [ world, and our own individual existence, depend on the quality of this resource, as much as on the quality and number of our arms. In a free nation everyone may do his own thinking. Obviously, though, the vital thinking, the vital conduct, is that which is done at the policy levels of government. This week, in an address to a conference of the Governors of the distinguished friend, Sam Rayburn of Texas, said that in these troubled times, we must have respect for the integrity, honesty and efficiency of our legislative and executive leaders. I fully agree that such united respect is indispensible for the security and preservation of the United States. Our leadership must have confidence and support if the official voice of the United States is to be Recognized on both sides of the Iron Curtain as tile voice of a determined and united people. Hope remains strong when the clouds of disaster hover, as long as the people have faith in their government. But for the people to retain such faith, the thinking and the conduct of those in high places must be such as to justify faith in their competence, courage and integrity. The qualities which combine to produce general confidence in national leadership in a time of grave national crisis are not to be found in the Nation’s Capital today. During the last few weeks, I have had the pleasure of visiting many communities in the Seventh Congressional District. Most of those with whom I have talked have not expressed the faith in the honesty, integrity and efficiency of our leaders which Speaker Rayburn says they should have. Instead they have expressed themselves in indignation and anger. They have demanded—and with every right-to know just what has been going on in Washington, anyway. I've had to say, frankly, that I share their indignation and anger. And I’ve had to admit that the best Congress has been able to do has been to keep one step behind the connivers, ehiselerS and crooks who move brashly about our Nation’s Capital. Qf course, there was a day, not too long ago, when members of Congress had little responsibility over such things and were able to concentrate on legislative prob lems, while the Executive Branch devoted itself to the proper administration of the laws. This proper Constitutional division of responsbility has gone by the board—not because Congress wants to take over the Executive Branch, but because the basis of trust has been removed. Today, a member of Congress who goes home at the end of a session needs to keep looking over his shoulder toward Washington. There’s always the chance he’ll find the Capitol gone—carted off to Kansas City. Apparently the angle shooters haven’t thought of using RFC funds to remodel the Capitol into a Pendergast meftiorial clubhouse, but one never can be too sure these days. In the half-light of intrigue and double-dealing, the public has caught glimpses of a shadow government. Political confidence men operate in an atmosphere of connivance and corruption, and officials sworn to uphold the laws of the United States look the other way. The power of this shadowy force is tremendous. If I tried to tell the whole story, we’d spend the rest of the week on the sordid details. Deep freezing* units; $9,000 pastel mink coats; stuffed ballot boxes; the ghost of Tom Pendergast; the racket boss who is ready with- his ill-gotten funds to contribute heavily to the campaign chest; the alarming epidemic of bad health which has kept high officials from the witness box and forced them to resign under fire; the multiplicity of trails leading into tangles of favoritism and corruption in the Bureau of Internal Revenue—all of these are symbols of deterioration of morality in present day public life. Even more appaling is the attitude to be found in the highest levels of our government, an attitude that permits public officials to deny the existence of corruption and disloyalty—then to minimize, and even to forget it. And finally, to proclaim, “I’ll vote for them regardless, otherwise we might lose our committee assignments’’. wre Christian virtues, but they have 6een perverted in their application to bright young men and women who busily betray their nation to its enemies, and to political cronies who regard law and ethics as no more than petty inconveniences or inconsequential strictures. i ne snameiui story starts m 1945. After the earthly remains of Franklin D. Roosevelt were sadly moved from his Georgia retreat to the soil of his beloved Hyde Park, a new President took over. It might be more appropriate to say a new President moved into the White House, and a cadre of Tom Pendergast’s pals took over. Harry H. Vaughn, a completely undistinguished military hack, became military aide to the President. Things have moved so fast since then that many of General Vaughn’s escapades have been cast into the gloom of the past. But do you remember the deepfreezers? They were distributed in certain high Washington circles after General Vaughn had arranged for a perfume peddler to fly to Europe on a priority—while the war was still on-and bring back $53,000 worth of perfume. His legitimate competitors had to wait for the war’s end to resume their European business connections. Remember John Maragon—the ex-bootblack? General Vaughn arranged his transportation too. John was known around the White, House as quite a card. He tried to' play a little joke on the customs boys on his way back from Europe; told them his perfume was champagne. When Maragon went to jail, there was sadness around the White House. John was such a lovable little guy. General Vaughn’s official duties include standing by the President at parades, handing him wreaths on Memorial Day and other strenous services. The General says he considers it part of his duty to provide Mr. Truman with one good belly-laugh a day. I’m sure you don't mind making a contribution in taxes toward the salary of this court jester, parti, cularly when the General makes such industrious use of his spare time. He seems glad to pick up his telephone and murmur something about “the White House is interested” while he puts the heat on a Federal agency for someone who comes recommended by the right sources. In 1946, President Truman decided he needed a more tractable Congressman from his home District in Missouri, and the word went out that Democrat Roger Slaughter had to be knocked out in the Democratic primary. This was the kind of job the Pendergaat machine knew how to do. Still well-oiled despite the death of old Tom, it had the assistance of such competent thugs as Charley Binaggio, an underworld character and campaign contributor. Charley later died with his slimy boots on— shot to death in a Democratic club under a picture of Harry S Truman. The President was made happy by the results of the primary. A Democrat who didn't vote along Mr. Truman’s lines was defeated. But later fraud was charged. A grand jury indicted 71 persons. This called upon the machine for swift and courageous action. It was forthcoming within a few hours. Thugs entered the Jackson County Court House and carted out the impounded ballots. The President said such goings-on should be investigated. Attorney General Tom Clark, now rewarded with a seat on the Supreme Court, said they certainly should. Nothing ever happened, though, and none of the old grads of the Pendergast School of Applied Politics was embarrassed. Another of the carefree characters who sees nothing wrong in cutting comers or letting seedy types in the back door of the White House is Donald Dawson, the# President’s advisor on whom to appoint to important jobs. Donald’s friends, Mr. and Mrs. Merl Young, of pastel mink fame, also were in the club until recently. * aty haven’t died; they’ve just f&d«d away. Mn. Dawson,. conveniently placed as head of the file room at the RFC, just announced her decision to leave the* Federal service. Good old Bill Boyle was another man it paid to see, until he decided to retire for reasons of health. I’m not a doctor, but I suspect Bill’s ailment is akin to that which prompted another Bill—O’Dwyer —to decide the climate of Mexico was healthier than that of New York City. New York weather certainly became pretty rough just after O’Dwyer left. More than a hundred policemen suddenly decided their health demanded that they retire rather than face a grand jury. Ex-Mayor O’Dwyer came before the Kefauver Crime Committee for a chat. He seemed surprised that anyone was disturbed by his acquaintanceship with Gangster Frank Costello. His feelings were hurt further when his old pal, Jim. Moran, to whom he gave a lifetime job as water commissioner of New York City, was indicted for perjury. Mr. O’Dwyer still is the Ambassador of the United States of America to Mexico. The President and Mr. Acheson say they’re wellsatisfied with him. The implication is that we ought to he satisfied too, and ought to stop picking on BiU. James M. Curley of Boston, another sick friend of the White House, was in and out of jail, but •managed to keep his job as Mayor of Boston during part of the time he was in the clink. When his friends said Jim was a tired, sick old man, Mr. Truman gave him a full pardon. Jim regained his health sufficiently to make another try for the mayorship this year. Edward F. Pritchard, Jr., a former bright young man of the Administration, got out of jail early, too, by authority of the White House, after he had served a little time for bungling a ballot-boxstuffing job in Kentucky. Faced with the tremendous costs of the preparedness program, the Congress'has been obliged to increase the back-breaking tax burden of our people. Isn't it reassuring, then, to find some tax collectors gleefully feathering their own nests through private deals with favored taxpayers? The Commissioner of Internal Revenue says there’s no cause for alarm. No cause for alarm, he says, when a collector claims he failed to report $32,000 in taxable income over a four-year period because a mistake brought his return back to his own office, instead of sending it to the auditors. No cause for lack of confidence says the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, when one of his deputies claims he doesn't remember how he earned $43,000 in 1048 and says he won $2800 on the Kentucky derby by betting on a horse thaWidn’t run that year. No cause for alarm, when the worried taxpayer, on going to a deputy collector for advice, is told the collector's private law firm can do him some good for a fee. No cause for lack of confidence, says Speaker Rayburn, when the Department of Justice, which has the duty of vigorously investigating and prosecuting government rascality readies itself as the spotlight approaches &e conduct of its own officials. I hope you won’t be too critical of Attorney General McGrath if he seems not to carry the prosecution, ball, which is his job on the team. He may fumble the ball, but I want you to know he’s one of the best blockers in the game. He blocked me when I tried to find out how many officials of his Department belonged to a lawyers organization which J. Edgar Hoover said is a notorious Communist front. His blocking of the McCarran Anti-Subversive Act has been brilliant, as have been his speeches blocking Congressional investigations generally. But the investigators on the Ways and Means subcommittee appear at last to be inside of his blocking, and ready to tackle the grave charges against his department. In the coming weeks, the field play should be worth watching.

Hajiiscn (Con turned from page 1<3.) Assistant Attorney 'General in charg; of tax fraud prosecutions, and be prepared to become familiar w.th big-time Kentucky liquor dealers, North Carolina taxi-fleet owners and a concern that went under the name of the Gulf Coast Tobacco Company. Time forbids my going into more serious history of actual disloyalty in Government. The damage done by the Alger Hisses., William Remingtons and Judy Coplons makes a wretched story. Now, what does all this add up to? In some way, consciences in high places have become encrusted. Reactions to sharp practice, downright dishonesty and even treason have been dulled. Our top law-enforcement officers have -adopted a strategy of defensein-depth, apparently calculated to defeat every effort to bring corruption and disloyalty into the open and * to administer punishment. The President of the United States affirms his conviction that all who serve him—all who share his confidence—are honorable men. The first principle seems to be to stand by one’s cronies; to shield the chiseler, the sharp operator and the fool; to sneer or crack wise at suggestions that common decency should be a guide in the conduct of a public official. Speaker Rayburn says he thinks we’ve been getting along pretty well. I think we’ve been getting along pretty rotten, if you ask me. And we won’t get along any better until there is a public demand for honesty and simple ethics which gets through to those who persist in regarding the White House as a ward-heelers club houac. The Speaker complains about lack of faith in the lymesty, integrity and efficiency of our national leaders. Those responsible for that lack of faith include the military aide who sandbagged federal agencies in behalf of get-richquick operators; and the White House physician who gambled in commodity futures, and the tax collectors who stole money wrung from the sweat of the people. Lack of public faith is born of quick paroles and pardons for lawbreakers who • are “right” politically and of lethargic law enforcement, particularly as to gangsters who ante up for political campaigns. These persons, and those who appointed them and maintain them in high office, are the ones responsible for lack of public faith in our National leadership, and the fact that the Nation is in a serious emergency only makes matters worse. It can never be proved, but it is my firm opinion that the Soviets would never have dared to open war in Korea, or to murder 5,560 American boys, if American leadership had commanded the kind of united support at home and respect abroad to which the American people are entitled. Now, your son and my 10-yearold son must give up the pursuits of peace to enter the military service to protect the Nation from the mess in which we have been plunged by the ineptness, the weakness and the rascality of the Truman Administration. Speaker Rayburn says we should' . be loyal Democrats, and I’ll follow that advice by standing by the precept of Democratic . President Grover Cleveland who considered' a public office a publi? trust, and not the softest racket of all. * The Speaker told the Southern Governors he wants “to be friends with all Democrats, on all sides.” But my hand of friendship will not be offered to those on the crooked side. --- iiiiiiiiiiicaiiiiiiiuincsmiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiicai REAL ESTATE I lurt prospects for All Kinds of Property * Outside Connections W. A. MILLER Local Broker WASHINGTON, VA. CALL day, 2861; Nights or Sundays,‘2161. By William Sarilla Assistant County Agent The above pictures show results of a pruning demonstration which was held at R. W. Miller’s orchard. The Delicious tree on the right was pruned last winter by Mr. Miller’s men the usual way and yielded 10 bushels of apples. The tree on the left was pruned by Fred Dreiling, Extension Horticul> turist, V.P.I., using the thinning out method of pruning. This tree yielded 18)4 bushels of apples. Trees of different varieties were also pruned at J. D. Keysets and John R. Moore's orchards. The purposes of these demonstrations are to show that proper pruning will increase yields by improving sizes, quality, and color by allowing spray materials and sun to penetrate more thoroughly. The York trees pruned at Mr. Moore’s orchard did not have * crop this year. The trees pruned at Hr. Keyder's orchard were picked before results were taken but the orchard men reported that the trees pruned by Mr. Dreiling had much larger apples.. Plans are to follow up by pruning the same trees for several years and checking results. Fred Dreiling will be here Wednesday, December 5, to demonstrate the "thinning out method” of pruning as follows: 10 a.m.—Mt. Vernon apple orchard, Sperryville; 1 p.m.—Downing Wood’s peach orchard, Washington; 2:30 p.m.—Wood Bros., Sunny Slope orchard, (apple trees) at Flint Hill. Mr. Dreiling plans to demonstrate a power saw and the power pruner. These tools are great labor savors. Let’s all come out to see this new equipment operate and to get other pointers on pruning. -- Birth Announcement Mr. and Mrs. Willaim Nuckole of Shady Side, Maryland announce the birth of a daughter, born November 24.
