Curtis Campbell was named Chairman of the Board of Supervisors at the first meeting of 1952 Wednesday, January 8, at the ^Courthouse. Clerk James M. Settle presided at the opening of the meeting to conduct the election of the chairman. » E. M. Estes, new member of the board from Piedmont district, ..nominated Mr. Campbell and H. **B. Wood seconded. A. H. Buckner cast an opposing vote and J. P. Cook was absent. Following the election. Chairman Campbell presided ever the meeting, opening his chairmanship with an expression, of appreciation to the supervisors for their confidence and stated his resolution to perform his duties to the best of his ability. * The Board approved the recommendation! of the state compensation board, fixing the salaries and expenses of the treasurer's office at $4297.63, and the office of . sheriff and deputy, plus expenses, at $2860. A motion was made by H. B. Wood,^seconded by E. M. Estes, to object to the recommendation of the compensation board of $8880.26 as expenses and salary of the office of Commissioner of Revenue, because this figure was more than that previously set by tfcp local board of supervisors. A. H. Buckner voted with Mr. Wood and Mr. Estes, but A. C. Latham stated that he had met with the compensation board in Richmond and had agreed with them on their recommendation* and he retained his opinion with a vote of “no” on the motion. This 'new expense and salary figure of $8830 is $200 less than the amount set for the office of Commissioner of Revenue last year. Of this amount, $2600 is salary for the Commissioner. Commonwealth Attorney R. V. Snead reported that the commissioner’s salary could be $8600 by law. Following the passing of the motion, Chairman Campbell appointed H. B. Wood, A. H. Buckner, and E. M.

This year-end appraisal of Richard Worthington, of Warrenton, Resident Engineer for the department, emphasized the top need of the highway system in trying to overcome the obsolescence of Secondary bridges. There are some 6,800 Secondary bridges of 20 feet in length or more, but many of these structures are taxed to meet the steadilygrowing demands of traffic, with its heavily-loaded vehicles. But the problem of replacing the old bridges has been complicated, however, it was pointed out by Highway Department Bridge Engineer William R. Glidden in a recent division report, by a steady spiral of increasing construction costs, a shortage of steel, and a lack of trained personnel. Bridge construction costs have increased 150 per eent since the ~ start of World War II, Glidden pointed out. The largest of the secondary1 bridges built by the highway department during the 1051 calendar year in Rappahannock was a 40foot structure over Battle Run on Route 008. In addition to the 7 new bridges built, repairs were made on four bridges, Resident Engineer Worthington said. There were 10 miles of secondary roads in the county given an allegeather surface with mttfrfliitofi atone by the highway department, which also sought to strengten many roads following tile Spring break-up period. While facing a serious problem of sufficient personnel, the highway department in 1952 hopes to continue to replace many of the inadequate bridges and to stabilize as many of the roads in Rappahannock County as funds will permit. -HJanuary 15 Deadline On 1951 ACP Reports Farmers of Rappahannock who still have not made a report of practices carried out under the 1951 Agricultural Conservation Program have less than two weeks left/ H.

Nature is always ready to take over at any time or place. Let a ten-mile stretch of concrete pavement go unused and untended for a year and weeds will sprout in tiny crevices, water will get under the concrete, and when the ice comes it will crack. Anyone who has planted a garden ten feet square knows that to bring the simplest vegetables to maturity requires toil. Nature is lavish with her gifts of rain and sunshine but she doesn’t care what prospers—weeds or bugs—so long as there is activity. It is all right to offer pray era of gratitude to nature, but it is the endless generations of our human forebears, reaching back through the centuries of time, who brought about the comfortable existence that is possible today. It is also men of energy, will, and vision who keep us from backsliding. Without their firm spirit this planet .would soon be in a sorry mess. Laziness and stupidity can inflict more destruction than war. -W- . Ethnocentrism A few years ago, H. Allen Smith stumbed upon a word that was new to him—ethnocentrism. “If,” he wrote in his book, Larks in the Popcorn, “there is any word in any language which, describes what is wrong with the world, this is it. Because of ethnocentrism I have abandoned all planning for a placid future.” The new Random House dictionary defines ethnocentrism as follows: “The belief in the inherent superiority of one’s own group and culture accompanied by a feeling of contempt for other group* and cultures.” The author continues: "There, in « single word, is the tragedy of the human race—my personal tragedy as* well as yours. My father can lick your father. My religion is hotter than, your religion and phooey on your religion. My kindergarten is better than your kindergarten. My college is better than your college and abut up or 111 smash your baggage, mister.” Etc., Etc. -*| | ‘The Time Hat Coma; the Walras amid • • • ■MNMMNI imiiiHiiiin.

Monday is just the blue day after one day of loafing, but getting back to work after a season of holiday* is painful almost to the point of torture! What became of all those free days during Christmas and New Year’s? They rushed by arid are gone! Vacations are wonderful institutions. In fact, they should come much oftener and last much longer. A school teacher once tried to teach* how rapidly things were changing today by giving this illustration: had you put a man to sleep in 1750 and waked him up a hundred years later, he would have adjusted himself rather kuickly. He would still have found a number of the trades as he had - known them — cobblers, silversmiths, harness makers, and many of such like, and he would have found farming customs very little changed. But put the fellow to sleep in 1850 and wake him in 1950, and he’d go crazy! The lesson was well taught, for it has stuck in the mind for many years, and it strikes more forcibly as the years go by. Think what poor Rip Van Winkle would catch if he had begun his nap in 1932—with Hoover in the White House and an ex-Govemor of New York slated to take over the rent-free home at 1800 Pennsylvania Avenue come March 4 — and then have old Rip get down out of the mountains from his 20-year sleep rwith the Baby New Year 19521 Those of us with humane inclinations would, merci — M 40VBITIBM Urn / / Hunting For Farm-Improvement Ideas?

The color used on the roof follows the Belvedere’s streamlined contours around the spacious rear window and down over the rear deck. Sparkling chrome molding outlines the top and carries back to separate the two colors at their junction at the rear quarterpanel. Interior of the Belvedere is luxurious, with colorful quality fabrics and vinyl blended in perfect harmony with the shades used on the exterior. Long-wearing carpeting — also in complementary colors — rounds out the ensemble. The following color combinations are available for the Belvedere: Suede Tan with Sable Bronze top; Belmont Blue Polychromatic with Sterling Grey tcp; Mint Green with Black top. There are ten body types in the new Plymouth line, available in an array of eight regdlar, and two special sparkling new colors. The traditional interior roominess and the many “high-priced,car’Lieatur«s io^ which Plymouth has been distinctive have been retained throughout the new line. SMOOTH PERFORMANCE A new, smoother flow of power results from the newly designed combustion chamber in Plymouth’s famous floating power engine. The six-cylinder, 97 horsepower engine has a 7 to 1 compression ratio. Longer life for both the main and rod bearings is achieved through an improved type of base metal. To further insure smoothness of performance and fester getaway, several refinements in the new Synchro-Silent transmission permit faster, easier shifting, and more rapid and positive engagement of gears. The rear axle is improved, and there are provisions which permit more accurate gear and bearing adjust; ments. Operating temperatures up to an additional eight degrees without the hazard of losing water or anti-freeze result from further improvements to the pressure-vent radiator cap, which provides a pressurized cooling system. STURDY BRAKES The traditionally sturdy SafeGuard Hydraulic brakes have been given greater ease of operation, and much longer life. New Cyclebond brake linings provide greater braking area and longer braking life. There are heavier backing plates on both the front and rear brakes; an improved drum design on the front brakes for smoother operation and better cooling; an easier operating brake pedal return spring; and a redesigned steering knuckle to provide more positive protection from road splash. Passenger and driver comfort has been increased with improvements to Plymouth’s “Safety-Flow ride/’ New cushioning-type ports in the Oriflow shock absorbers, increased travel in the front springs and a new interliner for the rear springs provide quieter operation, reduc'd steering wheel shock, less friction ' and an improved ride. Quicker starting in hot or cold weather with less drain on the battery is assured by the new “Foliostarter, the foremost among numerous changes in the electrical system. Greater visibility under adverse driving conditions is provided by a ten per cent increase in the speed of the electrically-operated windshield wipers. BEAUTIFUL STYLING Luxury and color harmony are the keynotes of the beautiful upholstery and trim selected for the new Plymouth. A fine selection of long-wearing, quality fabrics is available in shades which blend beautifully with the car’s exterior colors. An attractive “Lustre-Tone” instrument panel features controls which are conveniently grouped and instruments which are colored and lettered for easy reference while driving. Newly designed to further beautify the Plymouth are the ornament, the top molding, and the medallion on the hood, and the license light and name plate on the rear deck lid. The sweeping, low appearance of the car is further accented by the lowering of the rear fender molding. Solex tinted safety glass is available throughout ibe Plymouth line as optional equipment at small extra cost, peratures on hot summer days, minimises fading of upholstery or seat cover fabrics, and reduces sun glare. Among the many features which have been retained in the new Plymouth are the wide, deep chair-height seats, the ease of entrance and exit, the combination ignition and starter switch, automatic electric choke, super-cushion tires, and safety-rim wheels. There are ten body types in the new Plymouth line: the Concord series includes a two-door sedan, a I three-passenger coupe, and the popu- , lar all-metal Suburban, and its country club cousin, the Savoy; the Cambridge series has a four-door sedan and a club coupe; and the Cranbrook series includes a four-door sedan, a club coupe, a convertible club coupe, and the pace-setting i Belvedere. ,
