Lyle Miller died at his home in Gid Brown Hollow late Thursday evening, March 6- Whereas he had not been so well for the past two weeks, his illness was not considered serious and the sudden, fatal heart attack came as a shock to his family and friends. Mr. Miller was bom July 29, 1871, son of Dr. DAid Darius Miller and Elizabeth Williams Miller, at the family home near Rock Mills, now the home of Thomas Williams. He is survived by his wife, the former Miss Elizabeth Roberts Strother; a son, D. Lyle Miller, Jr.;' two daughters; Mrs. W. W. Sanford of Orange, and Mrs. R. G. Quaintance, Jr.: and two grandsons, the children of Mrs. Sanford. Also surviving is a brother, Brooke Roberts Miller. The two brothers and sister Who preceded him in death were Dr. Gideon Brown Miller, John James Miller of Hawlin, and Mrs. McCall Boulware. Funeral services were held Saturday morning at Woodville cemetery with Dr. W. G. Pendleton, of Trinity Episcopal Church, officiating. Pallbearers were C- J. Miller. P. Lee Thornton, R. L. Brown, James W. Fletcher, Dan S. Price, G Brown Milter, H.L. Milter, and Dr. J.P. Snead. In a history of Rappahannock county, the name of D. Lyle Miller will be listed as a scientific orchsyrdist and excellent judge of cattle. Rated as a No.-I apple grower, Mr. Miller’s reputation was built over die past fifty years. At an earlier day, when quality of an anile was not necessary for a good market, D. Lyle Miller began to construct a reputation and establish his brand of anile as the best oil the market. Through the years he continued this policy of selling only top-grade fruit arid diligently guarding" his good name. In later years, when many orchardists could find no market, the apple crop from Mr. Miller's orchards was in great demand. The location of Mr. Miller’s orchards is rated in the county as one of the best, both in site and soil, but that was a contributing factor Which the scientific apple grower used tp gain for himself the name of “best apple grower in Jhe county.” Mr. Miller’s business acumen was known- to those associated with him in the business world. To those who knew him. as a friend, his ready wit and alert mind furnished entertainment and pleasant social hours.

SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS MEETS Miss Margaret Cary’s Sunday School Class of Flint Hill Methodist church will meet tonight ia the home of Mrs. Carson Ullard at 7:30 p.m. RAPP - OHATS By: W. H. Lyne County Agent Below is a letter just received from Jsck Jessee, Secretary of Shen Valley Meat Packers Inc. “The following is the information that you requested on the cattle Maurice J. O’Bannon delivered here yesterday. Tag No. 9060, 600- lb., choice. Teg No. 9061, 690 lb., prime. Tag No. 9062, 628 lb., prime. Tag No. 9063, 686 lb., choice.

I think these cattle graded a little bit higher than was expected due to the fact that they were young, red boned cattle and being such, did not require the amount of finish that older cattle would have to have. Most of the primes were on the border line and I believe the grader gave us the benefit of the doubt. The reason I say this, is that I do not want other producers in the county to get the idea that older cattle with the same amount of finish could get into the prime grade.” "Tb* Little Fo*»»” *—with apologies to Miss Heilman Mrs. Frances Thornton, County Health Nurse, is collecting fox tails and ears. She and Mrs. Gore won’t say whether they’re going to make themselves new fur coats or a new fur cap for Ralph Strawn. Mrs. Thornton requests that citizens* of Rappahannock who are ambitious to collect $2 for Reynard’s tail and ears, please bring only the tail and ears to the Health Office— and please leave the territory between the tail and ears elsewhere. Disposition of carcasses has presented a small problem to the ladiesMrs. Thornton may have her problems solved Saturday, since the Supervisors have filed notice that they are meeting to rescind the bounty on foxefe. $10 Auto License Fee Is Effective March 15 The flat fee of $10 for licensing private automobiles for 1952 will he effective March 15, the beginning of the license year, it-has been announced by ,the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles. The new law will be a help to those who mail in registration fees and will make the job of the license office much easier. The old law of 30-cents per hundred pounds weight was trouble to the man who issued the license. This new law of flat $10, regardless of make or sire of the car, will raise the price a dollar-or-so on the small car owner and lower it a. dollar-or-so on the large car owner* . .. ... Motorists are urged to buy their license plates early and avoid that usual last minute rush. MRS. RUTH BROWN ARNOLD Relative here have been notified of the death of Mrs. Ruth Brown Arnold at her Home in Hampton following a short illness. She was the daughter of J. Will Brown and the late Mrs. Laulra W. Brawn and spent her early /years here. Besides her father she is survived by one son, five sisters and two brothers. Funeral services were held on Tuesday in Hampton with burial in the Natt Cemetery. Miss Dottie Weaver was in Culpeper on Saturday. Large Crowd Attends Point-To-Point Despite Chilling Winds By Ann* Hudson Goedeclte Chilly weather nipped the 1000 onlookers at the second annual Rappahannock Point-To-Point held Saturday. March 8, on Leon Greenaway’s beautiful “Leeway Farm.” The sun shone throughout the afternoon but a cold wind kept collars tight and a keen edge on many of the race horses. Nevertheless, before the first race was called, horse enthusiasts from all over Virginia had gathered to participate in one of the most exciting of all horse sports, a Point-To-Point. Leon Greenaway’s state is a nearperfect locale from both the spectators’ and the exhibitors’ points of view, fit high hill in the center.of the course affords excellent viewing of a majority of the the jumps, while a refreshment stand with coffee and sandwichs keeps the Shenandoah wind from driving too deep. The course is stiff; is contains natural-looking jumps built into fences and several found that the planks don’t come down. Six events made up the racing card and by far the most thrilling was the Mount Salem, the leadies’ race. Mrs. Fadley booted her Head Agent across the finish line barely in front of Angie Sanders on Mrs. A. D. Kinsley’s Redmond. Show place went to Amy Hitchcock on Sidney Culver’s Reynolds Town. Mrs. Fadley had an uncomfortable fall right after her race but arose unhurt. After the horse races wore over everyone stayed for the Mound Race which proved exciting and added a few comic highlights to an afternoon of sport. Wade H. Massie III organized his fleet of baying entries into a line where the drag was layed and at the third blow of his horn men, boys, and hounds went that-a-way. Actually, when the hounds fiinally disentangled themselves from their handlers, they ran well in a pack with some good music drifting down over the hill. As the pack came across the crowded finish line to yank the drag from his tree, an uproar came forth over which hound had won. We leave it as a tie between a solid tan and a tan and white spot. Then a bushy tailed grey was turned loose and was well on his way to ground when the hounds caught his scent and packed down across the field after him. FARMERS RACE—1, W. G. Eastham; 2.

But then, one day, somebody pulled a deal that was just a little bit shady. His . neighbors saw the deal and • thought— -If he gets away with it why couldn’t I?” And pretty soon a lot of people and their neighbors were pulling shady deals (making a fast buck, it was called). Things got so bad that folks were robbing each other besides looting the land that had given them lumber coal _ '_soap and Buicks and Empire State buildings and Hopalong Cassiday. They were cheating on their income taxes, bribing basketball players, buying votes, wasting government money. Now this is a story without ah ending— yet.

In recent months, it has often been said the socialized medicine movement in this country has been stopped. That idea is largely based on the fact that Congress has given the Administration-sponsored government compulsory health insurance bill the complete deepfreeze treatment. It would be a grave danger, however, if we came to believe that this is the end of the matter and that there’s nothing more to worry about so far as socialized or politically-dominated medicine is concerned. It is probably true that the socialists have given up hope of achieving their goal at one fell swoop, as was done in - England. But they undoubtedly plan making progress through a subtle, little - step - by-little - step technique. As an example, the President recently announced the creation of a “Commission on the Health Needs of the Nation,” to be financed from emergency funds which were allocated for the national defense—though no student of the health problem can see where any emergency now exists. At least one very distinguished doctor refused to become a member of the Commission, on the grounds that it is on “instrument of practical policies,” designed to help revitalize the compulsory insurance scheme. A number of leading newspapers observed the findings of the Commission must be discounted in advance, and doubted if it would make anything even resembling an objective and dispassionate survey of the national health. In short, it looks like just one straw in a wind which has and get hack to living in faith, one with another, we are just liable to kill the goose that has been laying the golden eggs. Then we will all he vulture hait for Joe Stalin who is waiting to gobble us. IF we wreck the things it has taken since 1492 to build up.

And some of the best-meant prophecies, which seemed to be reasonably based when made, have turned out 100 per cent wrong. The old chain store controversy is « perfect example of this. Back in the late ‘20s and early 430s, it was widely forecast that the growth of the chains, which had been swift and dramatic, meant that the independents were doomed, unless the chains were blocked by stiff class taxes and punitive laws on the local, state, and national levels. A few such laws were passed, but the “toughest” of them were defeated—'notably those of a Federal nature. The prophets of doom for independent merchandising spoke up again. But what happened? Three years ago, U.S. Department of Commerce experts studied chain store operations in 12 fields, including food, general merchandise, shoes, drugs, hardware and so on. They found that in 1929, the chains accounted for 28 per cent of the total sales in those fields. In 1948, almost 20 years later, the chains’ proportion was about the been blowing a long time aim! still blows—the wind of socialism by indirection. Socialists can afford .to be patient. All they have to do is to win once—and then a nation finds it practically impossible to rid itself of the virus. That is true of socialized medicine no less than the other totalitarian goals.

Lyle MUler The county lost a citizen Thursday, in the death of Mr, D. Lyle Miller, who represented a unique form of the best in the courtty. With the courtliness of a past era and the sharp mind of the present-day business man, Mr. Miller was a composite no community can afford to lose, for his kind is all too rare. The editor feels keenly the loss of a friend. We agreed and disagreed. We argued and teased. A conversation with Mr. D. Lyle was a pleasant and stimulating occupation, and the editor of Rappahannock News considers that the privilege of counting Mr. Miller as a friend is one of the highlights of being in Rappahannock county. same, and the independents still dominated the business. As Godfrey M. Lebhar writes iYi his new book, “Chain Stores in America,” “instead of being (wiped completely out of the picture as he had expected to be in the ‘20s the independent merchant has retained his competitive position both in number of stores and in yolume of sales.” The competition provided by the chain? put the independent on his mettle—and vice versa.

Within five minutes—I couldn’t endure it longer—I heard the following: jiminy Christmas, gee whiz, be jabbers, golly, for gosh sake, for goodness sake, lawdy, drat, by jove, blazes, deuce, dash it all, ding bust it, tarnation, and an additional listing of asainine, modified profanity. Didn’t Shakespeare place these words as advice? “Swear me, Kate, like a lady as thou art, a good mouth-filling oath.” Here’s my resolution: If I feel the need, I'm going to swear a "good mouth-filling oath,” just as the great bard instructed, but emasculated substitutes are to be banished from my speech.

Walrus (Continued from page 2) sounded. o o o Last Wednesday afternoon a telephone ring brought this query: “Is it too late to put an ad in the paper about the fox bounty to be paid by the Supervisors?” “No, sir, Mr. Settle; we’ll stuff it in the paper somewhere. How much is the bounty? What paTt of the fox do you have to bring, and where do you bring it?” “Well,” replied the County 9 mays to save on timiDCOMI A. Use roun<f kernels if planting a large acreage by machine or planting by hand. There’s no difference in the plants grown with round or flat seeds, but round kernels cost less. & © O Use medium or regular size kernels, instead of large flats . . . there are more kernels per bushel, and you’ll cut the cost bf planting. Plants will be just as large. Use Southern States Hybrids for every planting. You save on original cost and get better results.

In other counties the health department is used as collecting headquarters, but I haven’t said anything to them about it and I hate to publish it in the paper without asking them first.” “Do you mean that the health office has to collect all the fox tails! Please, Mr. Settle, let us print it before Frances Thornton hears anything about it! If you'll just let us print that all fox tails and ears have to be delivered to the County Health Nurse, we won’t even charge for the advertisement—and we’ll pay the 20% amusement tax! We want to hear Mrs. Thornton when she finds it out!” Mr. Settle is a peace-loving man and his refusal was firm and final. The paper couldn’t print that the fox tails and ears must be carried to the health office. However, Mr. Settle has discovered that the policy of “peace at any price” is sometime very expensive. The fox tails and ears were delivered to Mr. Settle—only some' people brought all the territory between the tail and ears, and now the clerk’s office is resplendent with carcasses.

If Mr. Tongerloo even so much as mentioned that he had other visits to make, he became furious and responded with angry remarks. Naturally, Mr. Tongerloo hated to call on the man—and he had learned to dislike him intensely. Alien one day it was all changed.

TELEVISION DISCOVERS MAIN STREET Technical Limitations Restrict TV Range (This is the second of a series of <r articles on the coming of a naK ontvide television service.) Large sections of Western, Central and Southern United States have no television. Fifteen states were caught in the “freeze” on TV station construction which was imposed by the Federal Communications Commission in 1948. A dozen others are being covered by a single station. Many of these states, like North Dakota and Montana, cannot even pick up the video signals of neighboring states because the nearest stations are out of television range. For millions of Americans television has been just something to read about in newspapers and magazines. or something to look at briefly on trfps to the East or West Coasts. New this pattern of regional television is on the verge of abolition. Liko the capillaries in the human bedy, video signals will ‘soon begin coursing from the main channels of the visual broadcast industry into the remotest regions of the nation. The people, of Cut Bank and Deer Lodge, Mont., may soon have the opportunity to see national network television shows — and on their own stations, not those o* neighboring communities. New Range Opens The expansion into non-TV areas is based on the FCC’s plan to open up tf new section of the radio spectrum, known as the Ultra-High Frequency Range, for commercial and educational television. This will'permit 70 new channels for TV broadcasts, as compared to the 12 channels now in use in the limited Very High Frequency Range. By opening UHF and expanding VHF, the FCC will offer licenses for nearly 2,000 new stations, divided among every state in the finion. The FCC has indicated that it will put it up to private enterprise in the towns- and cities concerned. If they want television they can apply for it. and, following final allocations expected soon, licenses will be granted to applicants found acceptable. On the basis of tentative allocations and provided each state fulfills its license quota under the expansion progratn, the nation Will have this number of TV stations: Alabama, 45; Arizona, 30; Arkansas. 38; California, 80; Colorado, 36; Connecticut, 14; Delaware, 4; District of Columbia, 6; Florida, 56; Georgia, 53; Idaho, 28; Illinois, 56; Indiana, 45; Iowa, 58; Kansas, 49; Kentucky, 32; Louisiana, 42; Maind, 29; Maryland, 12; Massachusetts, 23; Michigan, 65; Minn*, sota, 48; Mississippi, 39; Missouri, 53; Montana. 39; Nebraska, 34; Nevada, 22; and New Hampshire, 12. Also, New Jersey, 9; New Mexico 35; New York. 55; North Caro lina, 51; North Dakota, 33; Ohio, 57; Oklahoma, 54; Oregon, 32; Pennsylvania, 52; Rhode Island, 4; South Carolina, 27; South Dakota. 30; Tennessee, 61; Texas. 176; Utah, 10; Vermont. 10; Virginia, 37; Washington, 41; West Virginia, 23; Wisconsin, 44; and Wyoming, 27. This expanded service contrasts dramatically with the present re* gional allocations. The 108 operat* ing VHP stations are shared by only 65 cities. New York City has six of these and Los Angeles has seven. Chicago and Washington, D.C. have four stations. Three sta* tior cities are Atlanta, Ga.; Baltimore, Md.; Cincinnati, Columbus and Cleveland, O.; Detroit, Mich.; Philadelphia, Pa.; and San Fran* cisco, Calif. Two station cities are Birmingham, Ala.; Boston, Mass.; Dallas, Tex.; Dayton, O.; Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minn.; Omaha, Neb.; Salt Lake City, Utah; San Antonio, Tex.; and Syracuse, N.Y. Single Stations The remaining stations are divided individually among these cities; Alburquerque, tf.M.; Ames, la.; iDes Moines); Binghamton, N.Y.; Blobmington, Ind.; Buffalo, N.Y.; Charlotte, N.C.; Davenport. Ia.; Erie, Pa.; Fort Worth, Tex.; Grand Rapids, Mich.; Greensboro, N.C.; Houston, Tex.; Huntington. W. Va.; Indianapolis, Ind.; Jacksonville, Fla.; Johnstown, Pa.; Kalamazoo, Mich.; Kansas City, Mo.; Lancaster, Pa.; Lansing, Mich.; Memphis, Tenn.; Miami, Fla.; Milwaukee, Wise.; Nashville, Tenn.; New Haven, Conn,’r New Orleans, La.; Newark, N.J.; Norfolk, Va.; Oklahoma City, Okla.; Pittsburgh, Pa.; Phoenix, Ariz.; Providence, R.I.; Richmond, Va.; Rochester, N.Y.; Roch Island, 111.; S a n Diego, Calif.; Schenectady, N.Y.; Seattle, Wash.; St. Louis, Mo.; Toledo, O.; Tulsa, Okla.; and Wilmington, Del. In many of these one-station cities Like Albuquerque and Seattle, network programs have been unobtainable because relay facilities, either microwave or coaxial cable, do not reach them. But the cables and the . radio, relay towers are today pushing steadily into new areas. In 1951, a chain of lofty microwave towers which relay video signals with splitsecond precision was completed from coast-to-coast. Coaxial cables are spreading through the south — from Kansas City to Wichita, to Dallas, San Antonio and Houston. Jackson, Miss., a southern terminal, is being tied tb New Orleans, a northern branch is headed for Montreal; and cables are being Laid from Los Angeles through Arizona, Texas and New Mexico to cover the southwest ,, * Hill vast expansion of video relay facilities means that scores of new television towns, with either UHF or VHP stations, will be able to tap into the'terminals along the route and relay the major network programs through remote rural areas. Main Street's Role It Is difficult to forecast accurately today how quickly Main Street. U.S.A., will erect the nearly 2,000 new statiohs for which licenses might be available and how quickly extensive home coverage will be obtained. There is the question of material shortages* in a defense economy, of local financing of new stations and of the speed with which the FCC processes license applications. Yet, there ls)k regional pattern established since 1946 when the National Broadcasting Company introduced regular commercial television in the United States. This was the first era of expansion; in many ways the second era might rival it. For example, set sales in the present television regions have maintained a fairly uniform pace. In 1951, there were 27,412,700 families residing in TV areas — that is, areas where some type of video signal, however faint, could be picked up on home receivers. Of this total, 15,166,000 had purchased television receivers. Since 62,914,200 people reside in these areas, the ratio of TV set sales to individuals is about one to six. In terms of families it is a little better than one set- for each two families. And the pattern is fairly consistent between different size cities. New York, for example, has 4,152,100 families and they own 2,720,000 home receivers. Omaha, Neb., ha3 210,500 families and they own 104,000 TV sets. Using the same yardstick, the scores of towns which look forward to their own transmitting stations can expect an audience cf one out of every two families in the’r municipal and sttrburban regions. They can anticipate, tljis. audience within perhaps three or four years after their first video signal is broadcast. The number of listeners, of course, is dependent on the numb-r of stations erected. Recent history indicates that they will go up fas. In 1948, when the freeze on station construction was imposed bj the PCX! for fear of over-extending the VHP channels and thus creating Interference between stations, scores of small-town business men, industrialists, radio station owners and newspaper publishers hpid applications for station licenses on Ole.
