CMin Has Excellent ^ Driving Safety Record - With the nation’s appalling death toll on the highways during the past weekend, it is gratifying to see the record of James Madison Cliffin, a colored boy born and raised in Rappahannock county, who has an enviable driving record for safety.Cliffin, in the Navy, has worked at the Bureau of Supplies and Accounts, Washington, D. C., since 1942. During that time he has operated Navy vehicles in 40 states and four foreign countries. He has seen 40 state capitols, and visited Cuba, Panama, Canada, and Mexico. With _al | the „ d riving on these travels he~ has never had an accident. On one ..oceasionJus^-car^was^-struck-by^an^ other car, but that accident did not involve any fault of Cliff in’s. His driving record stands at 100% correct. James Madison Cliffin began his driving as a young boy, when he operated cars for people in Rappahannock county, and the local people point with pride to the good record he has made._____ making biscuits.

Harrison charged in an address in Winchester July 6 that Francis Pickens M«*er is being supported by a New York organization, many of whose backers are mentioned in the records of the House Un-American- Activties Committee. He named the organization as the National Committee for an Effective Congress, of 11 East 48th St., New York City, and he said it was “soliciting contributions to defeat Senator Byrd and elect Francis Pickens Miller." The Congressman called upon Miller for an explanation “as to why persons mentioned in the record?» files, and publications of the House Un-Amferican Activities Committee are soliciting contributions to elect him and defeat Senator Byrd.” ' ; ? 1 Harrison said the chairman of that committee had said it listed “many of the persons listed on the letter- .4/ head of this New York organization.” “I do not charge that any of these men listed on V the letter dated June 30, 1952, are Communists,” Harri- v » son said. His statement continued: “The letter says that the committee has been active in campaigns in other States alid that ‘such an investment (of money) made in tinie will yield .more dollar-for-dollar value in positive results than any equal expenditure we know of.’ “May I ask this question: Results for"whom? Certainly not the taxpayers of America^ “This New York fund-raising committee seeks to defeat Senator Byrd and elect Mr. Miller because Senator Byrd ‘wields an implaccable ax on government expenditure.’ “This is additional evidence of Hie bitter enemies Senator Byrd has made in fighting waste in Washington and in fighting those policies which would take America down the road to socialism. T “Make no mistake about it, fellow-Virginians, powerful and ruthless elements are seeking the defeat | of the acknowledged watchdog of the Federal Treas- 3 v **The election Tuesday, July 15.

Subscription: —$2,00 a year WHY VOTE Why vote? The. often used answer is “Why toother. My one vote —doesn’t amount to anything any— way.” The fact is that your ‘one vote* carries the weight of five. You are voting for yourself and four other people in Virginia. This statement, no doubt, needs a little explanation. Statewide elections in Virginia draw out less than twenty per cent of the potential voters (men and women over twenty-one years of age) and presidential flections only” slightly” more thari that number. Thus it is easy to see that with only one-fifth of the eligible citizens of the State taking the trouble, or feeling the responsibility of voting, it makes every vote just five times as important. Are you willing to be numbered among -the four people, who will let a fifth person decide, who you will have in office, and what type of * taws and government you will live under? The system of having all the decisions made for the people seems to be working very well in Russia (for those in power.) I’m sure none of us want that sort of thing here, but we are making little effort to see, that a small-mi-— nority does not make the decisions for the majority. Only between 30 and 35 per cent of all Virginians over twenty r one have taken their voting privileges and responsibilities seriously enough to qualify themselves for voting. Of this small percentage less than half turn out at the polls on election day. These figures are nothing short of amazing and should serve to stir us from our complacency and change ourepractice of letting the few make the decisions for the many. So far we have been lucky but trusting luck too far always ends in disaster. _On Tuesday, July 15, a Democratic Primary, for the selection of a candidate for the United States Senate, will be held in Virginia. The way we can best support the man of our choice and the principles for which he stands, is to turn out and give him the biggest vote possible, whether we think he needs it or not.

Miller and Whitehead, he bsa issued a stattment so as to make it clear that he and Senator Byrd voted alike on the basic farm legislation for soil conservation and the establishment ofthe farm program, which includes tobacco, cotton and peanuts. The statement by Senator Richard B. Russell, issued from his office in Washington, follows:_’ “It has come to my attention that my name has been injected into the Democratic Senatorial contest in Vjrginia in connection^ with Senator Byrd’s record on farm legislation. In view of my , vita interest in the Soil Conservation Program and all phases of farm legislation, I shall attempt to set the record straight insofar as I am able. “I have serve,d in. the United States Senate during the entire period of Senator Byrd’s tenure in that body. The Senate does not have a more conscientious or hardeFwbrking member. Senator Byrd has demonstrated his knowledge of, and interest in, the problems of the farmers of this country. This is particularly true with respect to the Soil Conservation Program, the original and basic Soil Conservation Act being passed with- -Senator Byrd’s supporton February 15, 1936. — Senate Bill 2787 which was passed by the Senate on December 17, 1937, has, I understand, been a subject of much discussion.

It provided the base on which our farm program has been built and has preatly benefitted the farmers of this Nation. This is the bill under which the agricultural pro. grams in Virginia and every other, state have operated since 1938, including tobacco, cotton and pea- , nuts. It passed with Senator Byrd’s support and is the basic law under. which the farmers of Virginia and every other state have operated the acreage control and price support programs for their crops, as well as received soil conservation payments/’ -Letter To Editor —Sir: ....

The House of Representatives passed a bill increasing the- pay from $21 to $50 a month. The Senate version of $42 and the House version of $50 went to a conference committee. The Committee split the difference and reported back a bill making the base pay $46. Senator Byrd voted for this bill. The House refused to adopt the~ 'conference report and a second committee of conference was held. This second conference committee changed the pay to $50. The bill then went back to the House, which approved it,-and then to the Senate, which likewise approved it and Senator Byrd voted in favor of it. .; 'This is the record. _ Yet, Mr. Miller continues to repeat what he must know is a completely inaccurate statement. This_ is not only unfair to Senator Byrd, which is bad enough, but more importantly it is completely unfair to t^e voters. Obviously, Mr. Miller is attempting to mislead them in regard to Senator Byrd's record. Incidentally, Senator Byrd was a patron and sponsor of the GI Bill of Rights, a fact which, Mr. Miller does not mention, but one that he can not deny. Senator Byrd also is the father of three sons, one of whom was woundr ed in France during the invasion of Normandy as a private in the para. troops; a second fought with .Patton's army as a sergeant in the armored infantry; and a third served in the central and. western Pacific • as a lieutenant - commander in the Navy, ■J.

Brown, treasurer of Rappahannock County and owner of a farm at Woodville, has completed ccnstructlon work on a*open ditch drainage system. Mr, Brown intends to reclaim the swampy areas for , pasture land. „ ... .... '. . : ...... Farm drainage as a conservation practice in Rappahannock County is coming to the front. Seven farmers have already done either tile or open “ditch drain'age work so far this year and a number of others have requested assistance from the Culpeper Soil Conservation District. As a result of several barns and ether farm buildings being destroyed by fire recently, numerous applications have come in for the construction of farm ponds. After several destructive country fires, farmers become concerned about their own fire hazards And decide to construct pcinds as a fire protection. Don’t be one of those who closed the barn door after the horse got out. Soil Conservation Service Technicians attended a special meeting in Orange on Monday and Tuesday of this week to discuss the “new things in farm pond construction.” Engin“eers~Troin the Regional Otfice of the Soil Conservation Service led the discussion. New features in pond construction and management were thoroughly aired. One Cause Of X Disease Found At Experiment Stat. At least one cause of the mysterious X disease yf cattle has been , found. The Sinclair Refining Company, Sinclair Research Laboratories, Inc., and the VPI Agricultural Experiment Station have announced jomtly that a fiighly chlorinated napthalene ° will produce bovine hyperkeratosos, or X disease. The discovery follows a year of intensive work by Dr. Wit* son 15. Bell, veterinarian at VPI. The malady appeared in this country about 10 years ago and scientists have been looking for the cause or causes ever since. Although not too widespread, X disease has caused considerable concern to. livestock producers. Affected animals lost their appetite, their eyes water, they slobber constantly, their skins becomes rough and hard and the animals nearly always die. * Materials that have been used to ‘produce the disease experimently Include a certain kind of processed alfalfa, feed concentrate, ,a wood preservative, and a lubricant, lit is* possible, says Dr. Bell, that a highly chlorinated napthalene in some way has gained entrance into the feed materials or is present in the wood preservative. It is also possible, he believes, that other chemicals may be found that will cause the disease. A complete report of Dr., Bell’s w'orlc is being published in the July issue of the Virginia Journal .of Science. -• Mrs. James Yates is spending this week in Arlington with Mr. and Mrs. J. H.
