The ladies are to be congratulated. The members of the fire company have expreessd their appreciation, but now is the time for a little more substantial exhibition of appreciation. The ladies of the auxiliary sponsor square dances at the high school building to help raise funds for the fire company. At several of the dances recently they have had a little trouble with a youngster or two. who will forget to bring his best manners to the dance. It's embarrassing to the ladies to have to deal with this public display of bad manners, and the presence of several of the firemen would help. The men could step in quietly and tell the youngsters that either their manners would have to improve or they would have to leave the dance floor. The ladies of the auxiliary are giving a square dance Friday, Mar. 7 and the presence of several of the firemen would show that the men of the fire company appreciate the work, time, and effort put forth by the members of the auxiliary. ^ Unfair Competition By GEORGE PECK Uncle Sam’s taxing power has become something of enormous importance. He now requires huge revenues with which to finance the defense program and aid to non-communist countries; and after the emergency is over and for many a year thereafter, he will need huge revenues to meet the interest on the public debt, to begin to pay off part of that indebtedness, to take care of war veterans and to carry on the ordinary business of his government. Therefore, anything that interferes with the right of the Federal Government, the 48 individual states and the municipalities of the nation to tax ANY business, must be removed. For example, the theory that government projects should be erempt from taxation is wrong. Only the true busi GRAND OPENING!

Such ex* emption should not be applied to any property or activity of govern-, ment when it is engaged in the business of producing goods or services for sale. When government does this, it should be on exactly the same footing as any private enterprise engaged in similar Wtivities. When the government activity is competitive and is bidding against private enterprise for the patronage of clients, it is an injustice that private enterprise as to drive it eventually out of business, thus coddling the public enterprise and depriving it of all incentive to efficiency. * There have been cases and still are actual cases of where a tax-free government power project sells its product at a lower rate per KWH than its privately-owned competitor is forced to pay per KWH in taxes. One does not have to be a certified public accountant or a mathematical wizard to figure that privately-owned company, operating under such unfair competition, is doomed to “close up shop," the only question being just how long it will be able to continue in business. * But even more serious than this unfairness to private investors is that at a time when governments need every dollar of revenue they can collect, the Federal Government sets itself up in various businesses, exempts them from taxation and cuts off important sources of revenue. This columnist always has bitterly opposed government going into business, either in competition with or to the exclusion of Private Enterprise. -This nation has had so many striking evidences of the superior efficiency of Private Enterprise, of its ability in many cases to meet unfair, untaxed government competition, that 1 marvel there is still one single /tnerican propagandizing to put the government into further businesses. But, if we must have these gov-* eminent projects, then every dictate of fairness decrees that they should operate under the same rules and regulations that govern Private Enterprise. And if one has no disposition to be fair, then purely, selfish motives should demand equal taxation of government businesses in order to provide tax revenues so badly needed now and in the future.

The extra pounds of fat are so many years off your life, according to the charts and statistics. Shucks! there’s no need of statistics for that bit of information. Every family—or community—has had a Mary Ann: “We’d better go visit Mary Ann, you know, she’s not long for this world. She’s so puny and thin. She’s been ailing for ’a long time.” Yeah, and the Mary Anns of every family and neighborhood, who have been so puny and ailin’, have been suffering from ill health since they were eighteen-and-delicate until now they are well past eighty and still delicate. The strong, healthy, and fat members of the family have long since passed on to their reward. But, halt, and pity the fat one. Regardless of what’s wrong, the doctor says, “diet.” It maizes no difference what the ill: arthritis, tonsilitis, appendicitis, hepatitis, or laryngitis—the verdict is "diet!” t Diet is an ugly word, and it’s a discouraging process. You starve all ed companies, but also, in the final analysis, to the stockholders (the, taxpayers) of Unde Sam, Incorporated. 4 WASHINGTON THEATRE 7* start at 7 ;15 and 9 P.

No, it’s beyond understanding. Starve yourself half to death—and still not am ouncee of fat departs. The fat one sits aryl watches the skinny one stuff in the food* Starches, sweets, rich, and fattening place not an extra pound on his emaciated carcass. It’s down-right repulsive to watch him pour in the food and know that he will gain no pounds, while the pitiful fat one can smell food and gain weight! Sometimes exercises are recommended for reducing, but it sums up to two exercises: (1) place the hands firmly on the edge of the dinner table and push back; and (2) avoid lifting spoon or fork near \ your mouth. * A lady once asked her doctor's advice. "Look at my cousin,’’ she told the M.D. “She’s thin. I’m tired of being fat. I want my clothes to look like they’ve been put on something besides a sack of potatoes, and I don’t want to huff and puff whenever I walk up the steps.” “Well,” began the doctor’s slow reply, "you know, you can’t make a Leghorn out of a Plymoth Rock.” o o o The story has just come around about the politician who was covering a rural area seeking re-election.

There were 17,278 calves sold through 22 sales for a total of $3;047.916-41 or a per head average of $176.40. Through figures on the Rappahannock Angus Breeders Feeder Calf Sale vary from those at this office, here are some comparative figures of which ^very Rappahannock citizen should be proud; Per cent fancy and choice calves 61 per cent. (State average 47 per cent), price per cwt- $44-02 (State average $39m. price per head$ 190.84 (State average $176-40). Rappahannock ranked: 1st in quality offering, 1st in price per hundred-weight; third in price per head! On the other hand from the quality coSt angle, which - usually/is a pretty darned important means', of measuring value received and possibilities of making profit in the feed lot, the Rappahannock sale suffered considerable buyer’s advantage- The second high price sale had only a 42 per cent fancy and choice offering while the fourth high sale from the price angle included only 38 per cent choice and fancy. Buyers at the Rappahannock sale bore out this measurement as they were •willing to pay 3c more for fancy calves than those grading good. A lot of corn stubble land was left unplanted last fall, thus many farmers will be planting oats in the next couple of weeks. Should you be seeding oats prior to March 5, purchase seed of a winter variety such as Arlington, Lee Cold Proof, or Atlantic.
