Social Security May Be Greater Than You Think "Your new social security may be greater than you think—and that’s particularly true if you are employed regularly on a farm,” says Miss Lois Cockey, field representative of the . Alexandria aocUl security office. •♦People who (work in commerce and industry generally understand | how important old-age and survivors insurance is to their families,” Miss Cockey says. “But I suppose it will be Some time before people who were first covered by social security in 1961 will understand what it really means for themselves and their families in old age and for their families in case of death,” she adds. The other day Miss Cockey talked with a 62-year-old farm worker in Rappahannock County who told iher he supposed he was too old to build up much of a retirement" payment before he was $5. He felt a lot better when she told him that *his regular cash wages of $150 a month will mean $57.50 each month for him when he retires and $28.$0 for his wife. People who are now approaching retirement age may need less than two years of work covered by social security to qualify for retirement payments. Under the new social security law, the amount of payment may be figured on average wages after 1050 for people' who retire after mid-1952. , * For convenience of residents of the county, Miss Cockey comes to the County Agent’s office in the ^ Court House in Washington the v second Thursday of each month at 1 p.m. She is glad to answer questions and will give a free booklet explaining the social security law to anyone who calls ■' for it. f *‘V BREAKS HIP IN FALL ^^MT9i“-J.",Wjill*f“"A’ficTrisvsuTfered a fractured'hip in a fall Friday _ morning at her home in Sperryville ■j: Sh<5 was rushed by ambulance to Warren Memorial hospital, Fron Royal, where she remains in a fairly comfortable condition.

Fairless, President of U.S. Steel Corporation, tells a story ’ about Mike Monaghan, a steel worker. Old Mike was a melter in the open hearths and, according to Mr. Fairless, one of the best U. S. Steel ever had; but his special claim to fame was his un-,. limited and colorful vocabulary. You have heard of men who could swear a blue streak without once repeating, themselves. Well, Mike had one great advantage over' them—he . didn’t mind repeating himself at all.. He was the envy and the idol of every man on his crew; and half a dozen times a day, when —something incurred his displeasure he would sound off until the air in the shop became a deep and satisfying purple. One particular day nothing at all had gone wrong. Mike and his crew were melting steel faster than it had ever before been melted in those furnaces, and they were out to set an all-time record of production.. They would have done it, too, but for one of those freak things that come once in a lifetime. The roof of the furnace cracked under the strain and the bricks came tumbling down into the melt. It ruined the steel, it ruined the furnace and it ruined Mike’s chances for a production record. For a full minute Mike stood •there staggered by the enormity oi his had luck, (while 'his men waited breathlessly for the great explosion—the one magnificent outburst—that would fully express, his feelings, and theirs. His face grew red; he sputtered and finally, _with a gesture of utter, despair, he spoke at last: ‘Tellows,” he said, “I just ain’t up to it." Well, I understand just how Mike Monaghan felt. “I just ain’t up to” finding words adequate to give a verbal blast to the highpowered profligates at Washington who axe on the wildest spending binge this natjon or any other nation has ever gone on. Those fellows must lie awake nights figuring out now and bigger plans for the further frittering away of America’s assets. The amount of money being spent by the Federal Government is staggering—so staggering that Mr. Average Citizen just cannot comprehend it. Add to this the greatly increased spending of state and local governments and you come up with an over-all figure that proves the nation is rapidly. being spent into insolvency. In 1951, the Federal, State and .local governments! spent0 an . amount equivalent to 57 per cent of total wages and salaries of all ; persons—from the lowest paid worker to the highest paid exiiTgainftil “bbi£ government, pursuits. And now the Administration comes up with a Federal budget : ' of $85.4 billion for the fiscal year ending June SO, 1953. Add to this figure the state and local expenditures which are running at around $24 billion per year and you find that ’ total government expenditures for the next fiscal year will be nearly $110 billion, ' The President asks for another increase in Federal income taxes. The Congress should not grant this request and probably'wont. {Senator Walter F. George (D.-Ga) Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, has expressed his opinion as follows: "... I believe that any further increase in Ash Wednesday v»^; - : / ■ C Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent. The word “Lent” is derived from the' Anglo-Saxon “Lencten”, meaning spring. It was appointed at this time for the reason that Christ’s Passion and Death occured in the spring. It lasts for forty days, not including the Sundays, because forty was a scriptural number. The Children of Israel wandered for forty years in the wilderness. Moses fasted forty days on the mount. The Ninevites fasted forty days in repentance for their sins, and Christ fasted forty days in the wilderness ? previously to beginning his ministry. Lerit is considered in the ^ church as a time of preparation for the great festival of Easter. Ash Wednesday derives its name from the ceremonial use of ashes in the services for this day in the early church. The palms which were used on Palm Sunday were burned, and the ashes, after sprinkling with holy water, were used by the priest to mark a cross on the forehead of each one of the worshippers, or else the priest came down the aisle and scattered the ashes over the heads of the congregation. The idea is derived from the scriptural use of the phrase “sackcloth and ashes” as a sign of penitence. The Tuesday before Lent is known as “Shrove Tuesday”. The word is derived from "shrive”, which in early days meant to draw up a law or to prescribe, since all Christians were ordered to confess -their sins and be absolved. Previous to this they felt they should “take their last fling” so it became a day of merriment, which is continued in the Mardi Gras. Then their last meal consisted of pancakes, due to the necessity of using oip all the eggs, grease, lard and drippings which were forbidden during Lent. So it is also known as “Pancake Tuesday”. • * The services for Ash Wednesday, February 27, will be at Trinity Episcopal church at 11 a.m. ■ v * •* -- • _ .. ■ > , , , , , “Reckless Homicide*’ Bill Wins Approval Senator Raymond R. Guest’s proposal to make “reckless homicide” a criminal offense, got the approval of the Senate Court of Justice committee. The committee voted to report the bill. It would change the term, of “involuntary manslaughter” to “reckless homicide”, in event of highway deaths attributable to careless driving. Anyone convicted of the offense could be punished by a jail sentence of one to five years, and a fine of from $100.00 to $1,000.00. It also reported a House bill lowering from two to one year the waiting period in separations for divorce. 1Peril of “Choking Cows’* “Don’t ‘doctor’ cows that appear to be choking. Get professional assistance.” That is the advice of the State Health Department to farmers. The department said that inability to swallow was one of the major symptoms of rabies and farmers had been bitten while attempting to aid rabid cows. When a cow appears to be choking, the department said, a farmer frequently believes it has an apple or some other food stuck in its throat, and he attempts to remove the object by putting his hand down the animal’s throat. While be is doing this, the deapartment warned, the animal’s teeth may cut or scratch him, making a wound through which the , rabies virus may pass. The department also explained that indigestion was another symptom of rabies. income taxes will not only discourage the taxpayer from any, effort to produce further income, but will also encourage businesses to become extravagant, wasteful and inefficient.” That would seem to leave but one alternative — Congress must eut non-military expenditures to . the bone, and setup safeguards to , insure that not one single penny of the taxpayers’ money is wasted in the defense program. * Taxes Friends and neighbors, the taxes are indeed very heavy,/and if those laid on by vhe Government; were the only ones we had to pay, we anight more easily discharge them; but we have many others, and much more grievious to some of us . . . We are taxed twice as much by our Idleness, three times as much by our Pride, and four times as much by our Folly; and from these taxes the commissioners cannot ease or deliver us. —Ben ’Franklin 'HlltMlIlUtllltlIttimitniUfdiHIIIIIHIIlNiaHIIHttllMIIHiV i The Time has Come * f I i " the Walrus said . . • | «M»*msimwa NiiHiinutiiM THE SUCCESS FAMILY The father of Success is Work.

His pa had all the worries, and perhaps he, too, commented on how complicated life was and how much simpler it had been 30 years before. . o o . o Mr. Jim Filling says the slowest thing that goes through Woodville is the fire truck. Perhaps he’s right. In studying the situation that tempts folks to speed through the town, several items can be pointed out. The road’s good; it’s straight; and just because the highway boy§ stuck a sign up on the side of the , road saying “25 mi lie speed limit” does not mean that every car is going to slow down. Personally, I’m inclined to slacken speed when my' car gets past the post office, but there’s a reason for it. A pick-up truck pulled out , into the highway from Burke’s store one time when I was going through Woodville just like Mr. Filling said. Good brakes and quick use of them saved me from jamming into that truck. I had to learn the hard way. Maybe we could get 'some truck driver to volunteer to pall oat in front of every speeder as he Comes through Woodville. If the truck driver survives, perhaps everyone can be taught to slow up in going through the town. o o o Page Mr. Brannan. One of the county orchardists wants to know the answers to some questions. Why - is it that grandpa raised applesr— and good ones—and didn’t have to fool with all this spraying and nonsense ? The gentleman states that it .was known far and wide that one orchardist bragged that he’d replace the whole bushel if anyone found a worm in the basket. (He rarely replaced one.) And he didn't have to go through all this to-do that modern orchardists must put up with in order to stay in business. The orchardist , advances the opinion that probably man has fiddled too much with nature and got God’s balance of thing out of whackIt used to be that birds ate the bugs and worms, and all these fancy plant diseases were unknownMaybe, he guesses, we’ve got so fancy by bringing in plants from other localities that we brought the diseases with them.

Post offices will be closed; state knd government employees will have holiday; and the ‘‘banks will not be open for business." Every news* paper knows how to word that bit of news. I once heard a weekly newspaper editor get bawled out good and proper for saying the banks would be closed. The cashier from one bank let him know, in no uncertain terms, that under no circumstances did you say the bank was ‘‘closed,” but “would not be open for business.” It seems that term “closed” is reminiscent of 1933, when a closed bank was a reality and it was not just for George Washington’s birthday. o o o WANTED—Information: If you know of anyone, now living in Rappahannock, who celebrates a birthday anniversary on February 29, please let the News know.

Vegetable Production ^ Requested by U. S. D. A, The U. S. Department of Agriculture wants Virginia truckers to f produce more snap beans and cabbage this year, and to keep the acreage of other vegetables about 1 'on a par with 1951 plantings, . National production goals, just f -released by the State Agricultural f Mobilization Committee, call for 1 per cent increase in summer vegetables and a 7 per cent jnf crease in fall vegetables, both for fresh market, C. D. Jordan, chair; man, said. Also they want a 2 per cent reduction in the overall acre| age of vegetables, for processing with the exception of cabbage, beets, and sweet corn. Goals for i spring vegetables were announced r last December, he noted. The Virginia goals, which are £ nothing more than suggested production guides, are established -only for those vegetables in which the State’s crop ranks important !' commercially. Virginia has three principal commercial snap bean crops, JorI- dan said, and an acreage increase I over last year in all three is recommended. The 1951 spring snap bean crop, produced in eastern Virginia, yielded 171,000 bushels for fresh use on about 1,900 acres. An additional acreage was produced for canning. A 10 per cent |t acreage increase in the. 1952 !■. spring snap bean crop for fresh market was suggested by the goals I announced in December. I« The summer snap bean crop, chiefly in the Floyd and Carroll i- counties, yielded about ' 70,000 V; bushels last year on 700 acres, ! most of which was processed. A ■ 5 per cent increase in the summer l crop is sought. The fall snap bean crop, prol duced on the Eastern Short and in |; the Norfolk section, is by the ; far largest and most important. Last year this area turned out I: 468^000 bushels for fresh use on | 3,600 acres, plus other production | for canners. The suggested 1052 goal for the fall crop is an acreage | increase of 10 per cent. Virginia’s summer cabbage crop comes mostly from Sihyth, Wythe, * Carroll, and Floyd counties. Last year that area produced 7,500 tons on 1,000 acres for fresh use and , some additional acreage for kraut. | A 10 per cent acreage increase for * . fresh market and 20 per cent increase for kraut is recommended. The goals recommend no change in the fall cabbage acreage, mostly in eastern Virginia, where 2,400 tons was produced on 400 acres last year. Cabbage prices have been unusually good in recent months. Other goals announced earlier include a 16 per cent acreage increase in spring beets, a^id the same acreage as in 1951 for spring cabbage and spinach. ‘However, for late fall spinach a 5 per cent decrease below last year’s acreage is suggested. Also a 5 per cent increase in both beets and sweet corn for processing is recommended. Not included in tfte vegetable goals, but in the general crop goals announced two weeks ago, are Irish and sweet potatoes. The Department seeks 39,600 acres in fi frbh potatoes against 37,000 in 1951, or a 7 per cent acreage increase. For sweet potatoes the goal for 1952 is 19,090 acres compared to 17,000 last year for a 12 per cent increase; (Still other crops on the summer and fall vegetable goals listing for Virginia, where the same acreage as 1951 is recommended, are cucumbers, onions, tomatoes, green peppers, vlima beans, and watermelons. % In overall production, Virginia has a rank of importance in truck crop production. In 1951, production of potatoes was 5,882,00 bushels, and that of sweet potatoes ' was 2,210,000 bushels, both well below average. But the harvest of other truck crops, excluding potatoes and sweet potatoes, was over average, a total of 195,700 tons on 57570 acres in 1951. That compared with 177,500 tons produced on 50,280 acres in 1950. Virginia’s leading truck crops, ranked in point- of 1951 value, were: potatoes, $8,602,00; sweet potatoes, $5,194,000; tomatoes, $3,901,000; snap beans, $1,956,000; strawberries, $1,622,000; spinach, $1,047,000; and. green peppers, $601,000. In releasing the goals, the Agricultural Mobilization Committee urged growers of vegetables to take reasonable precaution before planting time to assure thenfeelves that marketing facilities and outlets will be available for their anticipated production. Growers • of vegetables for processing should consider seriously entering into advance contracts with processors to be assured of outlets for their production^ ~ " In seeking production increases in grain and fiber, the Government offers producers an incentive in the form of price supports. But there are no price supports on vegetables. However, there have been instances in recent years where the Government has assisted growers of truck crops through surplus removal purchases. A pro* gram of that type is now operating in Virginia on apple*. If any such programs are approved in 1952, assistance will be rendered only where growers in an area have complied with the Department’* suggested acreage goals for the commodity. In looking at the container situation, the prospect is satisfactory. The Department expects that the allocation of tin plate for cans for products under goals will continue to be made in sufficient quantities to meet requirements regardless ’ of the changes in the total supply of tin and steel. A surplus of glass containers is in prospects for 1952. V The supply of polyethylene, pliofilm, cellophane, and other films for packing fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables will likewise be adequate to meet requirements. Furthermore, latest reports from sources of supply to, not indicate any apparent shortages of wirebound boxes, crates, hampers or baskets, and this condition is expected to continue throughout 1952. Paper shipping sacks have been fairly tight for several months, and some delay may be expected in getting orders filled, although no critical shortage is foreseen at present.

L. Leake, and1 Mrs. W. H. Jenkins. (mesh bags are expected to be in good supply. The development of the defense ■ program according to present plan mill assure a continuation of high employment and wages through 1952. Thus, the demand for fresh vegetables is expected to be at least as strong as in 1351. If the planted acreage of processing vegetables approximates the goals, and growing conditions are average, the supplies of canned and frozen vegetables will be adequate but not enough to adversely affect the fresh market. Demand for processed vegetables* was slightly higher in 19b 1 than it would have been otherwise,, primarily 'because of increased military requirements to initially fill pipelines of supply. This demand is epee ted to be slightly off this year, which accounts for the slight overall reduction in processed vegetable goals. -M" MARKS 71*1 BIRTHDAY Mr. and M^s.

( “FOR BETTER BUILDING” DIAL CULPEPER 2161 CULPEPER PLANING MILL Will they inherit socialism ; You wouldn’t want to leave a socialistic America to your ■ children. Most Americans Wouldn’t But you may — without realizing it For socialism wears many false faces. You can’t always tell it at a glance. Its socialism, for example, when the federal government takes x over for keeps the rights and responsibilities of its citizens on any pretext Its socialism when the government steps into and takes over a business or industry. / Its socialism when people urge you to give up the freedom to run your own life and let the government run it for you. Today in America, there are people who would like to , see an all-powerful federal government own' and operate our railroads, our m dical profession, our electric ught and power companies and other businesses and services. Perhaps they’re not all socialists, but what they suggest is socialism — even though they never call it that. - And they’ll have their way unless you act now. Here’s ’ what you can do: Start thinking of your future and your children’s. Exercise your rights as a citizen. Discuss this danger with your friends and neighbors. Use your ballot ^ -wisely. And above all, learn to recognize socialism behind Sv the many false faces it wears.

CarolinaReporter iterview* “Miss Dolly” j(ThoBUUrilk, N.C., Tribune) -The history of Rappahannock County came alive today as Miss Dpllie Hite, of. Sperryville,v Va., chatted in the Tribune office about book, “My Rappahannock ry Book”. , In a charming Virginia manner, le revealed that her book was gun with a collection of stories of her county and its people ibr Jper own personal pleasure. While Ihe was visiting her uncle 5n Cambridge, Mass., she was requested to write the history, of the pounty, but it was not until she Jeturned to the “proper atmosphere”, she laughed with a twinkle her eye, that she could write of e South. Miss Hite will go on record as •She author receiving the quickets jjply from the president of Dietz •Press concerning publication. The usual waiting period ef notification of six months was narrowed for this gracious little lady to one week. She lived.in.Richmond, Va., for three months proof reading before the book iwas published on June 16, 1961, - - - The illustrated book had a limited first edition of 1,000 copies and has sold well enough to pay off expenses of publication. Miss Hite refused to commit herself as to the title of her next book. However, she did hint that ehe had done a great deal of research about garden history and had written several phamplets. Europe Next In a good Southern accent the writer. announced that she hopes to make a trip to Europe this iSpring and see the famous gardens from Italy to France. In her for, est green dress and matching hat and Persian Lamb coat to which was pinned an orchid, she looked all ready for the Voyage.

Publishing Business f That f ami 1 y connection, of course, is the reaspn that Miss Hite likes to come to Thomasville, where her brother, Mr. Hite, was in business until his death in 1940, Also, she likes to be with the children of her niece, Mrs. Hcaard Palmer, the former, Miss Peggy Hite. The children may be too young to care much about it now, but. when they grow older they will learn that the authors .of books run into all sorts of unexpected pleasures, and a lot of hard work. Miss Hite found that her Rappahannock story was regional history of interest to scholars, who would expect that the volume should have an "index. August Dietz, the publisher, tactfully suggested that an index would be in order. She compiled one, accurate enough to list the great and small names of Rappahannock, and stirring the interest of purchasers in far off Australia. and in England. Family connections, you might say. * Also, there is the social side to being an author. Friends and neighbors at home gave her a party in the Jane Thornton house, ■where 'George Washington really slept, not once, but several times. It was a “surprise’' party, but how can you have an unannounced social function for a celebrity in a small community? Vou can’t. And there were some who were ‘afraid that Miss Hite's friends from the mountains might crowd the party. They didn’t, and they would not have known her by her (proper given name of Mary Elizabeth, anyway. ------ In Richmond there was a party, too, for Dietz press authors, including the majestic Douglas •Southall Freeman and an aging James Branch Cabell, a somewhat different social historian. Miss Hite, very obviously likes ipeople and history. She approves of the Williamsburg restorations,' but she is equally at home in industrial Thomasville and WinstonSalem where Colonial Dames and Daughters of the Revolution are’ glad to meet and talk to one of the best informed of Virginia his* torians. . George Preston Browning ? George Preston Browning, 67, died at his home in' Flint Hill Thursday morning, February 14, after an illness of about ten years, ‘ resulting from a paralytic stroke. Mr. Browning was the son of the late Thomas E. Browning of Rappahannock, and the former Miss Bert Chappelear Browning of Fauquier. He was educated at Fray's school in Madison, and Randolph-Macon Academy, Front Royal. He was a member of the Episcopal church," a director of the Rappahannock National Bank for some time, until he was forced •to resign because of ill health. A retired farmer, orchardist, and stock dealer, Mr. Browning was one of Rappahannock's valuable citizens, most retiring, but a kind and good friend to all with whom he came in contact. Surviving are his wife, the former Miss Mabel Millan of Rappahannock; a brother, R. E. Browning of Broad Run; and several nieces and nephews. Funeral services were held Sat- urday afternoon, at £ o'clock in the chapel of Maddox Funeral Home, Front Royal, conducted by1 Dr. W. G. Pendleton. Interment was in Prospect Hill cemetery.

If you import cattle without a health certificate, it may mean your whole herd will be quarantined, according to Dr. W. L. Bendix. Shipping without proper certificates may cost hundreds of dollars in state fines, 'delays in shipping and quarantine loses at the point of origin. Most states, including Virginia protect their own animals ffrom diseases by requiring that newcomers have proper health certificates iwhen they cross the state line. In the case of cattle, state veterinarians are concerned primarily about Bang’s disease and tuberculosis. In hogs, it’s cholera; in sheep, scabies; and in dogs, rabies. The way to avoid trouble is to call the office of the State Veterinarian, or see one of his veterinarians if you want to buy or sell animals out of state. There were seven deaths on Virginia highways last week end. Cooksey Home Destroyed By Fire Last Friday The iRappahannock fire companies answered a call around 10 p.m. on Friday from Flint Hill.
