No opposition to the woman government came into existence until Monday morning, June 9, just 24 hours ahead of the election. The votes cast for the men —on such a abort notice ahead of Voting time-—indicate plainly that the opinions in the town sure divided on the subject of feminine government. v IA study of the votes will show that Mayor Dorothy CL Davit', polled a vote equal to Mrs. Milton Hawkins, who bolds the lowest •core among the council members. Mrs. J. W. Price and Mis. J. W. Critzer were accorded the highest ^totals of 78 each, with Mrs. C. J. Miller and Miss Ruby Jenkins In dose second and third places, 76 snd 72. Mrs. Field Benton, new member on the council, polled a vote of 67, with Mrs. Milton Mawkins just four votss below her, 68. C. T. Bruce, who was drafted by 42 voters of the town, spent the day at home. He had stated several weeks ago, when candidates were filing for election, that he would not run, but when the voters went to him and asked him would he accept the office, he agreed, saying that he would take no part in the election. A write-in vote of 4 to 6 against an incumbent was a flattering testimony of the high esteem with which Mr. Bruce is held in the community. Joseph Reid Receives Degree In Forestry, N. C.

Barber, Woodpile Mrs. Lily O’Bannon Barber exhibited some giant strawberries last week that grew at her home near Woodville. “We’re not within the city limits of Woodville,” Mrs. Barber reported, “so you’ll have to say thbe strawberries grew in the suburbs of Woodville.” One of the berries covered 2% ’ inches on a foot rule. This was not measuring the girth; the berry itself covered that much space. The berries were firm all the way through and Very sweet. Mrs. "Barber states that she she knows no particular reason for the giant size of the berries. She has always had good luck with strawberries at her place, so it must be the soil, she thinks. At one time she had an excellent patch where the new Baptist pastorate now stands. In reply to a question as to what kind of berries they were, she said she didn't know. There were three varieties planted, two of which were Fairfax and Dorset, and she didn’t recall the pame oi the third. For mulch, Mrs. Barber puts the yard leaves on the strawberry patch in the fall. She states that she just sprinkles the fallen leaves on the berry plants. and doesn’t bury them too deep.

Subscription: .... $2.00 a year A PUBLIC APOLOGY V Every decent citizen of the county feels humble and apologetic over the case oi the flagrant" destruction of other people’s property exhibited in the county seat during the Commencement exercises, June 4. A friend from an adjoining county anas invited by one of the graduates to attend the graduating exercises. While the guest was attending the program in the county high school, two tires of her automobile received knife cuts. We all know the lady realizes that the act was one of a person unfit for society, but we feel ashamed, nevertheless, because it happened in our county. Nothing can be done now. What’s happened has happened, but our embarrassment is sufficient to try to .prevent its recurrenence. Can it be that we have placed our beads in a hole in the ground, and like the ostrich, refuse to admit that such a thing could happen? It has. If protection for respectable people is necessary, then ■we must have it. There are only two law enforcement officers in the county, the Sheriff and the State Trooper, and each one has the entire county to cover. They can’t be everywhere at once. Perhaps it is time that we realize that special police protection is needed at special times. This embarrassing piece of ^illbehavior occurred1 in Washington, so the town will havt to take the blame. It was a meeting at the county high school, so the entire county is concerned.. \. - ^ Washington has beep ypry|; much in the limelight during the past two years. We can do without, this last bit of conduct having much notice taken of it. There’s no use crying over spot milk. The tires were cut, and every decent citizen is mortified. Regarding the unknown person, who did the dastardly trick, you can say a home failed to train him, the school failed to teach PITTS FRONT ROYAL THURSDAY, JUNE 12 SABU —in— , “ELEPHANT BOY” .

But all that’s ancient history, now. The future is our problem. Some suggestions are in order as to plans to prevent such a thing happening again. It is to be hoped that when a crowd gathers again and leaves the cars parked, that there will be some special police protection, since apparently such is needed. i < LETTER TO THE EDITOR (Last week Bill Lyne, in hiQ "Rapp Chats,” expressed his opinion on the "cheap rates” charged -*4w rcutiu|f paBture in xhe county.) 4 Maybe you are a fool? Brother, keep talking $25 pasture and 111 be one—-only one of the first to "omit, maybe. Did you ever figure the percentage of people who are renting pasture in the county who could stock their places without paying interest? Check into it and you will find a lot of idle capital. If they don’t want to risk the market, then why should I go into debt up to my neck and be happy if I got my cattle contract and pasture contract paid off. You mentioned labor, machinery and fertilizer. Compare these with the fellow who has to raise the feed for these cattle to winter. There is still plenty of grass to. be rented at $1.50 and $2.00 a month, so why is this stealing price still not taken? / Please answer how much more or less labor it takes if a place is grazed or not grazed and kept cleaned up.

Up to that time they had been working for the government in or* der to be able to pay their taxes. By 1940 the date had been advanced to March 27. In 1951 it*was even later, April 28. This year it has been pushed up to May 19. Never before have Americans had to work so long to pay their taxes. Out of each hour worked, 23 minutes pay is taken by the government in direct and hidden imposts.” “In case you feel that you did not pay enough taxes this year, here are some statistics on ‘hidden taxes’ which the New York Journal of Commerce dug up the other day. Five cents of eavery 12 cents paid for soap is tax; 5 cents out of 14 cents for bread is earmarked for the government, and 23 cents out of 85 cents for eggs goes to the same place.

V A 24-year-old Ukrainian displaced (person, who is a conscientious objector to bearing arms, was arraigned before Judge Alfred D. Barksdale in U. S, District Court, - Lynchburg, Monday on charges of evading the draft and was released on bond of $2,500 pending ' his appearance in court next Monday, June 16. vA -■Vasyl Sereda, now living in Newark, N. }. came from Polish Ukraine to a farm in Rappahan-— nock county two years ago/ He registered with the county draft board, Local Board No. 102, and— Mrs. Paul Miller was in Lynchburg < Monday to present the local board records for inspection. .At;.,the tinje, of hb registration, Sereda signed a certificate saying he was a conscientious objector, and the draft board classified him as such. He did not report for hb induction March 18. 1 r Sereda waived prosecution by indictment and agreed to proceed by information charging him with draft evasion. The young man appeared in court Monday with hb . father and young sister. It was a difficult hearing for . all concerned, according to a court reporter in Lynchburg. The youth spoke halting Englbh, the father only Polish. Neither was familiar with the American system of jurisprudence. .They appeared without - —counsel and finally Judge Barks " ; dale talked them inlo letting him v appoint an attorney to represent them. Garter Glass III was named. The faher dominated the son's case. Every move had to be in- : terpreted by the son to the father. Each question took from ten to * ;' 20 minutes for an "answer, as the — boy would explain to hb father, _ and then the father would make —decbions and tell the boy what to answer. The father’s Polish answers were understood by no one in the courtroom. The youth, bred on the long-ingrained European notion of one member of the family being in trouble the entire family was,v,was concerned, should be be conivcted, lest hb father and sister be required to go to jail. '- -* * ■ ~ - - - ■Since the time when the Ukranisn lad’ came to Rappahannock county, the draft law was chang^ed, making all permanent residents subject to the draft. Sereda moved to Newark, joining a colony of Ukranians after the death of the Rappahannock farmer for whom be had winked. ~~ The draft board notified him. of . bis impending induction but Sereda refused to report, claiming exemption because he was a con-* ■ scientious objector and had complied with the law.

Johnson Jr., Saturday, June 14 at 2:30 p.m. . » Soil Saver Notes Walter Slavik, recent purchaser of a farm near Amissville, completed a one half acre farm pond this week. Mr. Slavik located the pond near the homestead in order that it would provide fire protection for the farm buildings. The pond will furnish recreational facilities for the farm family. Soil Conservation Service technicians assisted Mr. Slavik in locating the pond site and supervising the construction work. The proper number. and species of fish will be placed in the pond at a later date by the Culpeper Soil Conservation District. Complete farm plans for soil and water conservation have been developed by Erich Hempert and Mr. H, L. Longerbeam, both Culpeper Co. farmers. Although there farms are small, a correct land use program will “be followed, and the proper amount of lime and fertilizer will*be applied. A few farmers are of the opinion that their farms are too small* to practice conservation farming. This is definitely not true—no piece of land, regardless of size is too small to carry out the correct conservation practices. “Conserva'tion measures properly applied and maintained oh the land will pay dividends," says Dr. R. M. Salter, Chief Soil Conser- * vation Service, Washington, D. C. Many farmers in Culpeper and Rappahannock Counties having farmed the conservation way for a number of years, have proveft to themselves that Dr. Salter’s statement is true. - Jehovah's Witnesses Meet In Loray June 13 -15 Jehovah's Witnesses are scheduled * to meet for their semiannual Circuit Assembly of Virginia Circuit No. 3 on June 13 through 16 at the VJF.W. memorial Ball Park in Luray.

The Weddles are expecting a baby in late June, hpwever, that shouldn’t prove a handicap in locating temporary quarters as I’ve found such infants harmless. Last week reports of.sheep killed by dogs is alarming but at the same time makes me wonder whether some simple precautions wouldn’t help prevent ^ such losses. Being a sheep fancier I’ve noted several flocks in the county which haven’t been molested in years and there could be reasons. Some say bells help scare off dogs. . others say the tinkling attracts them. . any way the clear toned kind loosely attached will surely awake most shepherds or, attract their attention during daylight hours should something cause the flock to take flight.

This was supposed to be the start of a national food price posting orgy. However, it died a-borning. 0 0 0 The reason? No one gave V hoot, least of all the consumers. The grocers themselves are selling oo far below celling prices, that posting the pries ceilings was pore comedy. _:_o o e But in a time when month after month, Federal Reserve figures show retail trade declining, the OPS is plenty busy. see' The facts are that the Office Plenty Screwy has, filed mere salts for alleged violations of price ceilings daring these months of doclining hasiness , thaa ever before. ..h- e e And while so far no huge combine has been proceeded against, the OPS has confined itself to the QNattoMl I’tdmttN of Indtpondtnt Bujlnu, small businesses of the land. , * * * In fact, many businessmen would be happy If OPS could sell , their poods for them at OPS ceiling prices, because competition for the consumer’s patron- ,.f ape doesn’t permit them to pet -seels- psieesv— * * • One of the latest suits filed by OPS could very well be the boomerang that could knock the office out of existence. . * * * ' > ■ *• The Zack Metal Company of Michigan is charged with selling copper to Kaiser-Fraser at over the ceiling price of 24ft cents per pound. - • * * Actually, the suit does not charge that Zack sold the copper for more than the ceiling.' But in exchange for this copper, it took from Kaiser-Frazer some coil steel, on the basis of 10 cents per pound, which was under the OPS ceiling price for coil steeL Note, under OPS ceiling price, not the prevailing market price. _ e * • Therefore, the OPS reasons,-' the metal firm made an extra profit on the copper because it took steel la trade for less than the OPS ceiling price, and worse da of all, the company apparently found a buyer who wanted the steel and was willing to pay them a' price that restated tat a o o o It does not seem to enter OPS reasoning that perhaps KaiserFrazer was overloaded with this type of Steel, and wai unable to find a buyer for it, and rather than let 4 rust, was willing to liquidate at any price, e e e iri But the biggest siu so far developed by OPS wae that a small metal firm did make a profit out of the transaction. And that, according to OPS, is Illegal, because nobody should make a profit. After an, who makes a profit in Russia?
