/State Umtj SUchmond-19 if?#: WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1952 VOLUME 33-NUMBER 14 *2.00 PER YEAR Board Appeals Decision On Commissioner's Salary The Board of Supervisors, in :;W meeting Wednesday, February 6, i. voted to appeal the decision of the state Compensation Board on the fixed salary of the Commissioner of Revenue to a Court of three judges. J. P. Cook was acting chairman in the place of W. C. Campbell who could not attend) due to illness. Other members L present were A. C. Latham, A. ' H. Buckner, H. B. Wood, and E. M. Estes. i ne question oi tne tixing or the salary of the Commissioner of Revenue has ‘been pending since the election of Mrs. Roberta K. Massie to the office in November. In previous years the Commissioner’s salary was fixed at $2000 an* nually with $1800 for an assistant. Mrs. Massie had < requested that the salary be set at $3000 for herself and helper. These salary figures did not include any expenses of the office. It was point, ed out during the meeting that these figures set'the cost of the office of Commissioner at $200 ; less than previously. The Board of Supervisors /wished to set the salary at $2600; $2000 for the Commissioner and $600 for an assistant. This ftgu e was not approved by the Compensation Board in Richmond, which set the salary at $2800 for the Commissioner and $800 for helper, as their opinion of a fair amount. The Board’s refusal in meeting yesterday led to the appeal which now goes, within 80 > days, according to law, before a court of three judges: one to be tile Rappahannock County Circuit - Judge and the other tWiy to be appointed by the State Supreme Court. . At tiie beginning of the discussion of tiie question, the Board voted to postpone the settling of the Commissioner’s salary until another meeting, February 12, when Chairman W. C. Campbell would be present and the membership complete in attendance. This motion was rescinded after discussion from a group of citizens present, who' insisted that five of six members present constituted a quorum. One citizen stated that , the withheld salary of the Commissioner of Revenue iwas an inconvenience, and that a number of interested citizens would have to return to the Tuesday meeting when, again, all six members may not be present. The first motion, made by H. B. Wood and seconded by E. M. Es^ tes, was stated that the salary as set by the Compensation Board was not acceptable by the Board. J. P. Cook joined his vote with H. B. Wood and E. M. Estes, while A. C. Latham and A. H. Buckner voted in opposition. A. H. Buckner voted to approve, the salary as set by the •Compensation Board for he said that citizens in his district had expressed the opinion that the salary was fair, and that he saw no reason to further the discussion. A. C. Latham, who had met with* the Compensation Board last year, was still in agreement with that board as he had been from the, , start of the ^discussion. ; The motion to appeal to the special court of three judges was made by H. B. Wood, seconded; by E. M. Estes, with additional votes of approval by J. P. Cook and A. C. Latham. A. H. Buckner was opposed to the appeal. Commonwealth Attorney Aslu Out -Commonwealth Attorney Rayner V. Snead requested that the Board of Supervisors obtain other counsel for the court appeal. He gave two reasons: one, that * he* personally thought the salary as set by the Compensation Board as fair; and two, that he had been informed by some members of tbs f Board of Supervisors thill he could oiot fairly represent t^e l (See SUPERVISORS, page 8) \ '■ 1 ■ 1.

Edison. It has been stated that probably no one man has had as much effect upon our everyday living as Edison- “The Man Who Inventeed Everything,” as Edison gets named, gave to us the modern telephone (don’t jump down my throat, I’ve heard of Alexander Graham Bell, too, but I can explain); moviees, trie lights, electric motors, storage batteries, and plastics! That’s some , list—in anybody’s language! Bell’s early teelphone used the “receiver” for both talking and listening. Long-line telephony became possible after Edison invented the carbon transmitter, which also became the modern microphone. ^ Thomas Alva Edison was bom . February 11, 1847 at Milan, OhioHis schooling was limited to three months in. the public school of Port . Huron, Michigan. HMiimmuiiMiui. One of the most pleasant notes on Edison’s life is the time-worri story that he was “kicked out” of school because the teacher thought, he was too dumb to learn. That item of information has been the source of much consolation to many a pupil and parent. Of course, it has given no end of trouble to teachers: the proud mamma of every problem child is certain in her own heart ’ that her little Gerald (or Horace, or Percy, or John, or Bill) is a future Edison because ~—the teacher hasn't succeeded in ‘ pounding anything through his thick skull. • In eight decades of living, Thomas A. Edison, single-handed, did more to advance the living stan dard* of. the. human race than had been accomplishd by all of man* kind in the preceding thousands of years. t? 0 0 “If your nose is close to-the t I* grindstone rough, * Ahd|y6j(i bpld it down there ' ^ , ^ long enough, In time you’ll say there’s no such thing As brooks that babble and birds , that sing.

There’s been many a day since I enjoyed a piece of verse any more than this- , The hint is obvious. But, since I know you have little room to talk, I realize you weren’t digging toio hard. I guess all of us get to the point which someone told me a fellow named Wordsworth described in verse. Seems to me it began “The world is too much with us, late and soon. . . ” Hesketh Pearson, in writing his biography of Benjamin Disraeli, threw in this paragraph: “Nearly all the famous Victorians cherished an innocent belief in the mental and spiritual advantages of general education; but after eighty years of enforced instructions we are beginning to wonder whether a level of intelligence that enables the majority to enjoy the ^products— of Hollywood, while a minority dis covers how to blow the world to bits, exactly realizes the dreams of those hopeful pioneers- The solution of the problem seems to be that children should be taught how to read and write as well as simple arithmetic, after which they should be at liberty to cease their education or continue it along congenial . lines: they hjve a right to the key ( to knowledge, but must unlock and open the door for themselves.” ’Twould have been better if he had omitteed that paragrabh. Lots of other people have been thinking along those same lines for some . time, but they keep their theugty* ; fairly well to themselvesC O O ’ .

I Ai Congressman got quoted recently: “In the Ten Commandments there are 297 words, Sn Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address 266 words, but in an OPS order settleing ceiling prices an manually operated foghorns there are 12,962 words-” The mails to the county newspaper contain volumns on ceiling prices and news items from the Office of Price Stabilization.

Remembering the Golden Rule, wc throw much communications into the trash. As near as intelligence and-time permit, we read all the regulations and try to abide by , thefn but the size of the. communications and the legal wording is confusing. The time will come, perhaps, when we shall slip up and fail to.read one of the lists of regulations. At that time, please, may our sins not be published and may we be notified in a quiet, dignified manner of our short-coming and we shall quickly make amends. Meanwhile, we think others are doing their best, too. An editor down in southwest Virginia has put it: “The people who make and sell foghorns undoubtedly spend sleepless nights trying to get their teeth in OPS’s 13000 word order. And they aren’t the only ones. It’s a safe bet that there isn’t a producer or a distributor in the country who hasn’t gone around talking to himself after reading one or another of OPS’s literary efforts. Some of them, indeed, provd to be tQtally unworkable, and OPS had to hustle out changes and ■ improvements. In a situation like this, every producer and merchant bcomes willy-nilly, a law breaker.” S/SGT. CHARLES R. LEWIS HOME ON LEAVE S/Sgt.

After, the meeting, delightful refreshments mere served by tne hostess. j When the meeting of the Northern Virginia Federation of New Farmers of America was called to order on January 31, 1951, the 0. R* Johnson Chapter was represented by a delegation of twelve strong. __ The meeting was held at the Rosenwald High School in Warrenton, Virginia. The Milton Valley Chapter of Berryville was represented and the W. C. Taylor Chapter of Rosenwald High, who served as Hbst, also had ample delegation. After listening to an inspiring opening ceremony by the officers of the Federation, which seemed to have stimulated the heart and mind of each delegate, we moved without hesitating into the election of officers for the coming year. Knowing that it is the contest that delights us and1 not the victory, it seemed as though each delegate went through daring efforts to make the election of officers a steaming' contest. The officers elected from the O. R. Johnson Chapter were: vicepresident, David Reid; secretary, ISolomon Williams; reporter, * Eugene Ferguson; historian,_ Charles Lewis; song leader, John Dales. These newly elected officers realize that every person is responsible for all the good withiii the scope of his abilities; they also realize that the winds and waves are always on the side of thet ablest navigators. Knowing that they have the ability of leadership, we are counting on them to do their utmost in helping to make the Northern Virginia Federation “The Federation.” —William Arrington, Reporter. iiiiimmHimniiiiiiCiiiHiiiiiuiumuiiiiiiicjt REAL ESTATE 1 have prospect* for All Kinds of Property Outside Connections , W.

Attorney Snead continued advising the Board that they should appoint a committee to obtain legal counsel, and he told the * board that they should know that under the law the salray could be set as high as $3600. During some hearings from the citizens present,, B. J. Wood presented a list of figures of other counties in the state with population as small as Rappahannock where salaries of Commissioners were as much and higher. Several questions were asked the board members. One question, regarding the lowering of the salary, was “Do you think the work will be any less in 1952 than it was in 1951?” This question was directed at H. B. Wood, who refused to answer, stating that he didn’t) want any argument. * \ Mrs. Roberta K. Massie appeared before the board and asked, the board members for a list of erroneous tax assessments. She had been told, she said, that board members knew of such, and it was her desire to get this list as soon as possible so they could be corrected in 1952.

When informed that thecounty would have to pay the bill, he wanted to know if Mrs. Mas■ie’s attorney fees could be paid by the county. He thought that, since the Commissioner of Revenue was'elected by the people and the Board of Supervisors was elected by the people, there was no reason why one should have attorneys furnished by the county and the other have to pay attorney’s fees.

Scroggins appeared before the * board asking that a piece of road, abandoned by the highway department in 1947, be kept in repair and a bridge replaced. Resident Engineer Richard Worthington explained that j such a situation must go through the regular procedure of having a road put on the secondary system. This road leads to the ReV.

Albert Fletcher III, of Flint Hill, 162 acres; Elaine C. Hunsaker, Amissville, 96 . acrea and Walter Slavik, Amissville, 65 acres were included in the group. The three farm plans stressed grassland farming, fitting the capability of the land. Any sound! farm program must be based on the ability of the laqd to produce, otherwise our agriculture would not be permanent. The first consideration of the owners was to build soil fertility in an economical way, and secondly to i: bring the farms into production with a minimum of farm machinery, and labor. Soil Conservation Technicians assisted five districts coopera tors u in laying out and marking contour lines of five farms during the past ten days. The farms included: Mrs. S. A.
