The town ordinance is very definite on this matter and the expense of replacing light bulbs is too large. Many matters were discussed in the hearing of reports from various committees. It was reported that the Northern Virginia Power Company had donated the current for the Christmas lights. A suggestion was made that a permanent evergreen be .planted to serve annually as a Christmas tree. Another committee also reported that Guy Burke had agreed to paint yellow strips on the side of the street at the corner of Main and Middle streets to help the parking problem. New “no parking" signs are to be purchased to replace worn out ones at the fire house and the theatre. Another committee reported the highway department’s agreement to fix a culvert. Many other iteigs of business regarding the up-keep of tile town streets, the maintaining of order at certain places, were discussed and attended to. The treasurer reported a balance of $4,148.12, of which 83000 is on savings at the Rappahannock National Baltic. * .. Jf * Commissioner Law On Property Taxes. Mrs. Roberta K.

CL Lea of Washington, county chairman. . Due to the great number of cases of polio in, 1950 and 1951, the National Foundation is short ~0f funds, hence the drive has been extended for a month.

Turner Named Director, Flint Hill Bank A year of satisfactory growth marked the report at the annual stockholders meeting of the First National Bank of Flint Hill, held Tuesday, January S. R. J. Turner was named as a director of the bank, filling the vacancy caused by the death of R. B. Rust. The other re-elected directors are officers are Frank H. Cary, president; William W. Miller, vice-president; John S. Browning, cashier; Mrs. Gaynelle Russell, assistant cashier; and G. W. Smith, Jr., Herbert Foster, and John R. Moore, Jr. One hundred sixty-three shares were represented at the meeting. A three per cent dividend was de‘ dared and additions were made to the surplus and undivided profits. A.C.P. Allotment Cut $5,857. In County < Rappahannock County has been allotted $37,643.00 under the 1052 Agricultural Conservation Program, it was announced yesterday by H. S. Barksdale County Com. mittee Chairman of the Production and Marketing Administration. That figure compares with $42,500.00 received by the county for ACP conservation in 1051. The difference is due to a slight reduction in the National and State funds for ACP as appygrad by tile lastCoi hi* basis, Mr. Barksdale explained. Individual farmers will put up any where from 40 to 00 per cent of the cost of practices carried out. But, unlike other years, the 1058 ACP program will require that farmers obtain approval from IPMA County Committees for carrying out practices for which they expect program assistance. “PMA committeemen will tailor the' practices requested by each farmer to those needs considered to be most urgent on his farm and those which will contribute to the long range conservation and production objectives,” the County PMA chairman said. “If they expect to receive conservation program payments, they twill be permitted to carry out only such practices as they have designated when they sign up to participate in the program.” By thus “pin-pointing” the spending of conservation program funds, Barksdale said that PMA hopes to keep soil productively abrest of defense production. “PMA will have a double job in 1952,” he declared. “We must not only maintain and impipove our soils in spite of heavy cropping for defense, but we must also assure the food and fiber that stepped-up military and defense activity will require." 4 The Agricultural' Conservation . Jfcogram .is one. . af several, which, PM A handles through a farmercommitteeman system. Others include marketing quotas, commodity purchases and loans, producton goals, and assigned defense activities. The conservation program, Barksdale explained, is run on a calendar basis with funds set aside by Congress. The last Congress appropriated $256,500,000 for the 1952 nationwide program, of which Virginia receives $3,974,000. | | ——— Tf-— RETURNS FROM HOSPITAL - _ ■» Q Edgar Ray Browning, son of Mr. and Mrs. John S.

Combs of Woodville was named a new director of Rappahannock National Bank at the stockholders’ luncheon meeting Tuesday, January 8. The eight directors renamed are Robert W. Miller, Wade H. Massie, Jr., C. E. Johnson Jr., E. M. Jones, J. W. Fletcher, D. D. Miller, T. V. Williams, and A. C. Latham. Mr. Combs was named to fill the vacancy, caused by the death of John A. Keyser. J. Rodes Brown, Jr., cashier of the bank, served as toastmaster at the luncheon served by the ladies of the auxiliary of Trinity Episcopal church. Guests included P. M. Anderson of Marshall Bank and Trust Company, Randolph Nuckols of the First and Merchants Bank of Richmond, and Giles H. Miller, Jr., of Culpeper National Bank, who was the speaker of the occasion. With “Your Pocketbook and the Government” as his subject, Mr. Miller injected a bit of wry humor as saying “you are custodian of funds until about March 15” when most of it goes to the govern-* ment. Attempting to explain the incomprehensible figures of government debt and spending, Mr. Miller gave an illustration of "How much is a billion?” by saying: if you had gone into business in the year 1 A.D. with a billion dollars and had lost f1000 a day from •tm billion would be gone. The speaker quoted figures from tile Alabama speech of Senator Byrd and agreed with the Georgia Senator George that the hope of the country lies in reducing expenditures and getting people to Tealize that the governipent can give out only what it takes in, minus a large administrative fee. Mr. Miller applauded the farmers for their stand of independence and williness to start an example of refusing "hand-outs.” He expressed the firm conviction that until everyone relearns that America was. made great on earning the hard way by work, that the country wifi continue to weaken. He cited as a great danger to the nation’s freedom the fact that we are beginning to fail to notice encroachment on our freedom. The ladies of the church auxiliary served a bountiful and excellent lunch. Tables were decorated with gilded magnolia leaves and the place cards were clever paper piggy-banks with a shiny new penny in the top of each. J. Rodes Brown, Jr., as toastmaster, was so dignified it looked painful. . After all the “sass” the customers have to take from him in the bank, his dignified appearance made him almost unrecogftizable. ifcr FREAK CALF HAS 3 TONGUES A calf, born January 7 at the F.T. Valley farm of Mrs. C. R. Hite, is one for “Believe It Or Not.’ The calf has an abnormal head formation, with double jawbones and three tongues. At .first it appeared the calf would die of starvation, for it could not eat, but Irving Burton, a tenant on the place, has taken over the job of feeding and has succeeded in keeping the peculiar animal alive. Mrs. Hite, who statees she has net seen the calf, has given the care of-the animal to Mr. Burton and, if it lives, they plan to Veal it at 200 pounds. Mrs. Hite reports that this deformed calf is the third of one cow; of the other two, one was blind and one was normal. 1 1' •' !**-w.

Rappahannock News Published Thursday Morning at Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia Dial Washington 2851 LUCY CATHERINE BOWIE * Publisher Entered as second-class mail matter at the post office at Washington, Virginia. Subscription:-$2.00 a year Grass Roots Opinions Somerset, Pa., Daily American: “It is surprising how many people there are who imagine that the government has a means for obtaining money that makes its gifts to the people real benefits. The fact is that the government has no means for obtaining money except taxes and loans to be repaid from taxes.” Foley, Ala., Onlooker: “Because we believe the people of this nation are now being taxed to just about the limit of their endurance, we of The Onlooker are prone to oppose any measure which will add to our tax load. When we consider the great amount of tax money which is now being used to support a great portion of our population- in idleness, we think our people will do well to frown on any measure which will tend to increase the tax burden.” Gat«*ville, N.C., Index: “It isn’t that we are advocating indexible rules, practices, and laws governing the farming industry. We still put some credence in the old law that ‘changing times demand changing laws,’ and <we fully expect and look for old practices and laws to be improved as time moves along. Yet, too many changes, too much politics, fattening subsidies and a super-abundance of ‘spokesmen’ for the farmer could so weaken the whole structure that it will either topple or grow into disfavor somewhat as organized labor did when it formed the Roosevelt partnership and then outgrew its britches because of the false notion that the country would stand for most anything.” Canadian Texas, Record: “Yes, it is possible that if we continue to relinquish our personal dignity and our individualism to government we will one day wake up and find we have relinquished oar country without a struggle.” It’s a safe bet that nothing* since World War II with, the single exception of the Korean conflict, has so thoroughly rocked this country as the graft revelations. And, according to reports on the contents of Congressional mail from the folks back home, nothing has so shocked and revolted the people. Democratic party chairman McKinney recently said that he is sure the scandals will not be an issue of the 1952 campaign, on the grounds that the President and other Democrats are handling the situation, and will clean everything up neatly in short order. This in the view of most observers, is whistling in the dark with a ven-> geance. The graft has been going on too long and too many people in key administration jobs are directly or indirectly involved. On top of that, it was a junior Re- * publican senator, Williams of Delaware, who cracked open the tax frauds and has seen to it that the investigations kept going. And it is an interesting fact that some Democrats iwho have done valiant work on behalf of high ethical standards in government—such as (Senators KeFauver and Douglas— are persona non grata at the White House. The reaction of the American grass roots press to the scandals has been one of anger. As \ general rule, the editorial attitude has been “turn the rascals out.” The big thing of course, has been the graft in the Internal Revenue Bureau. This has completely overshadowed the deep freeze and mink coat episodes, and for an excellent reason. As Robert Ruark put it, “We cannot understand a billion here, a billion there, because so few of us deal in billions that they just represent a long line of zeros. We cannot understand the deviations of the state department. The good Lord knows we cannot understand what has transpired with prices and ceilings and economics in general, because it is a solid cinch the people who perpetrate them do not understand them, either. “But there is one thing we know, from Natchez to Mobile, and Memphis to St. Joe. Taxes we know. 1 know 'em, because I owe 'em. You know 'em. You know 'em because they squeeze ’em right out of your tired old take-home, , and you never get through the one year without fretting about the next." Everyone kicks at the tax collector as a matter of course, but everyone has believed that Internal Revenue was honest as they come. Now that the Bureau as taken on the odor of an ancient fish, the general public has turned whopping mad.

For the past several years we have voiced many complaints of the administration in Washington. It would be hard in a day’s travel to find someone who voted for this administration in the last election. Still it wound up with a comfortable majority. There are many of us who desire changes in Washington, but admit that there is little that a few of us can do. Maybe we should start at home—or do we want to? For instance, we loudly claim that Belief rolls should be made public, then say that a farm er has no right to find out if his property js being valued by the same standards as used to value the property of his next door neighbor. . We piously shake our heads at the “terrible conditions” iii the Department of Internal Revenue, yet don’t even say “tutAmericans feel like Holmes Alexander, who wrote, “No tramp of a foreign invader has so shaken the temple of our freedom like the stealthy tread of thieves who are still at large within the government.

He called upon Fort Ticonderoga to surrender in 1770, and when the British asked him by whose authority he said, ‘In the name of the Great Jehovah and the Continental Congress!” Naturally, the British surrendered. Ethan Allen is sometimes called the liberator of Vermont, though just what be liberated it from I don’t know. Anyway, there’s a very nice statue of him in the State House at Montpelier, Ver-i mont.- In his Literaray History of the American Revolution, Mr. M. C. Tyler states that Ethan Allen was ‘a blustering frontier shero—an able-minded ignoramus of rough and ready humor, of boundless self-confidence,’ and so forth. I have gone rather thoroughly into the matter and I find no statues of !Mr. Tyler anywhere.” o o o There’s nothing like a good, brisk walk in the cold air to stimulate the appetite and stir up circulation. O-kay, o-kay. Ill take y o u'r word for it. Under my breath, I shall say to myself: there’s nothing like a calm turning over in bed on these eold mornings, pulling the nice warm cover up around the ears, and settling back for another nap. You know grandma had it nice —in some ways. Grandfather opened doors for her, handed her in and out of the buggy, and treated her with all manner of deference.

Quoth he: “I'd teach those cattle to get hungry along about ten o’clock in the morning, after I’d had a warm breakfast and the day had warmed up a bit.” There nearly always a choice story floating about the barber shop in a village. Unfortunately, most of them can’t be printed. After the beautician deserted the local beauty parlor (via matrimony) there was great speculation as to who would come in to run the business. The barber next door who never lets the truth interfere with a good story, let the tales run wild. The latest one the told to a young rhan thusly: a beautiful young Spanish maiden was arriving soon to take over the business in the beauty parlor and she was also going to do parttime work in the barber shop. The 'Spanish maid’s beauty increased with each sentence of the story and each snip of the scissors. Before the young man’s hair was trimmed, he had exacted a promise from the barber that the beautiful maiden was to be introduced and a date arranged.

Amos, rodent controlspecialist at VPI, says, for instance, a small piece of nut meat) makes an excellent mouse bait. It will he easy to rid the house or basement of mice by setting four to six mouse traps baited with nut meats. Mice eat very little, and if the nut meat is securely fastened to the trap you can often catch two or three mice with the same piece of bait. Mice also like peanut butter mixed in a little cotton or fried bacon. Be sure to set the traps in runways where there are mouse droppings or othr signs of moose activity. Mice do not migrate far unless they’re really hungry-and looking ^Pojr food. ^ Miss Arison* Elkins is ▼kiting Mr. and Mrs. Joe Johnston at Boston this week.

Howard Gibbons Mrs. Mary Anderson Gibbons, widow of Reverend J. Howard Gibbons, died at her home in Nashville, Tennessee, Sunday, January 6, in the 84th year of her life. Mrs. Gibbons was the oldest daughter of the six children of Mfdor and Mrs. William F. Anderson and the granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Y. Meneff , all of Rappahannock. The marriage of Reverend J. Howard Gibbons and Miss Mary IStribling Anderson took piaea Wednesday, November 24, *1897, in the Trinity Episcopal church at Washington. Mr. Gibbons was formerly Rector of Bromhfld Parish and became a well-knoan and prominent Rector of a number of Episcopal Parishes in the Southern States for nearly thirty years, until his death April 29, 1930. Mrs. Gibbons was born in Rappahannock county, where she spent her childhood days and young womanhood. During her adolescence years she dedicated her ambition to music and attended The Convent of Visitation, and later continued and completed her course at Synodical College, in which college she taught music for two years. She was indeed a skilled musician, with an understanding and love of music and she so expressed herself in writing “Music is indeed the language of the soul—it can carry one to the heights of bliss, or the depths of despair”. For her it was the “heights of bliss”, as no despair disturbed her days or despondency distressed her nights. She gave her talent and her music as a gratuitous contribution to the many that she loved. Haying passed her four score years, during that period of life when memory brightens as the twilight darkens, she became the author of “My Book of Memories” containing a resume of those days that wer?. Her thoughts returned to her girlhood hours and her life in the home of her parents, “Hawthorne”, in her native county. * She loved this old colonial home which she described so beautifully, as being “In the midst of a grov.' of oak trees, almost hidden by the dense foliage, stood a white stone house with green trimmings, and was reached through an avenue of cherry trees, in season hanging heavy with crimson fruit. Hawthorn was a magic spot, holding forth with charm for the young, and old alike”. She continues “Many an evening have I lingered on those steps, while shadows draped in silvery gauze from the moonlight, played at hide-and* seek, and the trees whispered of a far-aiway world where dreams come true, and the moon with roguish smile sifted moonbeams along the way”. -- Such description could wi ll take its place in classic literature. She further wrote in reference to the town of her birth, Washington, Virginia, “In a very small village —a little gem of beauteous charm, n stling against the great breast of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia—this man and this woman, my dear father and mother, were bom, and grew into maturity. This little gem of exceeding beauty lay dimple deep in a shadow of the Blu: Ridge Mountains, where the early morning flowers spilled their sweetest perfume.
