Lyne County Agent ■•■■•■■■I Prices at the first Virginia Feeder Calf Sale (Septeml*er 19) were very disappointing. Six hundred head sold for an average of al>out '27c per pound. This price is 11.15c under last year’s average. Hrere is the break down as obtained from K. C. Williamson, Beeg Cattle Marketing Specialist of VPI.: Steers: Av. price lb. top per lb. . Fancy-choice 30 31 Good 28 29.75 Medium 26 26.40 (Average all steers: $28.62) Heifers: av’g. top. * Fancy-choice 25^ 28.50 Good 23 ? Medium 22 ? . (Average all heifers: $24.50)—* As was* the case last year X33 % Choice and Fancy) the quality of this offering was low with about as many medium calves as there were fancy and choice; the majority were of the good grade. Seventy-five percent went, to Ohio and Indiana buyers. Prices are expected to pick up several cents and no doubt will as the quality improves at least. Sales to be held this week include : The Christainsburg Angus, Tuesday 23; Charlottesville, 24; Culpeper, 25 ; and Orange 26. I plan to attend the . sales in this area so should be in better position to foretell what our calves might fetch come Friday night. R. C. E S. Barbara Griffith, Reporter On Wednesday September 17, the Rappahannock -County High School elected the S.C.A, officers for the session. Peggy Ann Green .and Newbill Miller tied for the office of president; therefore, they will act jointly; Barbara Griffith was chosen as vice president; Jean Brown as Secretary-Treasurer; and Lois Racer as Reporter. On Wednesday, September 24, approximately 40 pupils belonging to the F.H.A and F.F.A clubs attended the Atlantic Rural Exposition at Richmond. Visit To Embassy Kipling was wrong in my estimation when he wrote: “Oh East is East, and West is West, and ne’er the twain shall meet,” for I paid a delightful visit to the Thai Embassy in Washington, D. C. When I arrived, first of all, I was introduced to -Thai Ambassador, a short, slender' man, who was very friendly. Then I was taken to the room which I shared with Madam Amphai Punyaratabhan. The bedroom was plain but comfortable. We unpacked and then had dinner, consisting , of Thai noodles with peanuts and meat balls. We ate with a big spoon and a fork as you would use chopsticks. We ate in the kitchen at dinner, and everyone was very friendly. After-going out for a movie and a walk, we went home and had supper of rice, cabbage and fried boiled eggs. Television entertained us until bedtime, about 10:30. The next morning we had an American breakfast in our room. We had dinner at 12:30, bud we did not eat at the embassy because they had a highly seasoned Chinese dish. My Siamese friend did not like it either, so we went to a restaurant and ate American food. Later we went to see “The Merry Widow," after which we came back to the embassy and had Siamese food. We then went to the embassy at about 12 ;30. All of the Siamese people seemed to-like bowling very much. Since I had to leave at 1:30, I just stayed at the embassy and watched television all morning. When I left they all told me good-bye, and I was invited back for September 21. The embassy was very large and pretty. They had two living rooms; one informal for the use of the boys Auto Accident Sends Four To'Hospital Four persons were hospitalized and car completely demolished near Sptrryville, when a car wrecked, Friday, September 19, around 10:30 p.m. State Trooper Nicodemus, investigating officer, reported that a 1939 . Mercury, operated and owned by Reid Fincham of Falls Church skidded and hit a bridge on 211, near SffCrryville. An occupant of the car stated that they were#going around 85 mph and were trying to reach 90 mph when the accident occurred. The four men were rushed to the University Hospital, where they received treatment. Harold Estes of Washington, husband of Mrs. Virginia Settle Estes, was sitting on the rear seat when the accident occurred. Both of Mr. Estes’s legs were broken, several toes severed and body bruised and lacerated. Jessie Jenkins,.annthpr occupant of the car, received bruises, lacerations on his body and a broken leg. Nicholson, who received less injuries,-suffered a broken arm, w-as treated at the time and dismissed from the hospital. Reid Fincham suffered a crushed hip and other bodily injuries. Estes, Jenkins and Fincham are in the hospital with intense suffering, but as yet no serious complications have been reported. Friends and relatives are visiting the boy3 daily. The case is set for Friday, September 26, but it is expected to be continued because of the conditions of the three men who are in the hos* pital. Firemen’s Festival Opens For Friday and Satorday Amissvilie Firemen will hold their first Firemen’s Festival for two evenings, Friday and Saturday, . September 26 and 27. A varied program is planned with fun for all, culminating in a big event Saturday night. A parade of visiting fire companies will be held Friday evening at 6 o’clock, starting off a big night of entertainment. Amissvilie Volunteer Fire Department, with its Auxiliary, a new organization, has shown a working spirit in beginning their fire company. With two pieces of equipment on hand, the fire company members are going to work to build housing for the trucks. The Firemen’s Festival is the first project of the new company as a fund-raising campaign. The ladies Auxiliary to the fire company has been busy in arranging Festival games and food stands. Mrs. Elmer Jenkins is president of the auxiliary, with Mrs. Graham Hackley as vice-president, Mrs. Toni Tear as secretary, and Mrs. Mitchell Green, treasurer. Everyone is invited to attend the Firemen’s Festival; have a good time, and encourage the volunteer firemen in getting started with their company. D. D. Miller, Vocational-Agricultural Instructor, accompanied some of his students to Richmond on Tuesday to attend the Atlantic Rural Exposition. Thosfe who went were Charles Corder, Dabney Eastham and Alfred Sealock. and girls and the other was formal and had beautiful furniture in it. All the floors were covered with velvety rugs. They had many dishes from .their country, but the object that impressed me most was a big gold statue of Budda and at the entrance of this room there were two elephant tusks. There were two dining rooms which contained lovely china and furniture. The china was from their country. The bedrooms contained American furniture. The Siamese seemed to know how to combine the Oriental with the Occidental to create a comfortable, friendly atmosphere in their embassy. -'-Betty Lou Rutherford \ H 4 jjr % \ -If; p ->> .. .

Rappahannock News Published Thursday learning at Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia Dial Washington 2851 LUCY CATHERINE BOWIE Publisher Entered as second-class mail matter at ths post office at Washington, Virginia. Subscription: __$2.00 a year «... And No Place To Go” An old saying told of the fellow who was “all dressed up and no place to go.” There are a few folks in a similar position today. They are average Americans, little guys, with their taxes paid, and registration in proper order, and they’ve no one to vote for. Some of us hold blank faces when all this political discussion begins. We are conscientious citizens; we take an interest in our government. We are honest, law-abiding folks; we try to earn a living and live fair and square with our fellowmen. We try to do our duty toward our country, our state, and our county, by voting for what we think is best for all citizens. ~ The time is drawing closer when we must cast a ballot for a President, and we have no candidate for . whom we can vote with a cldar conscience. We owe no party anything. The National Democratic party has plainly shown us what they think of the south in general, and Virginia in particular. Our delegates we sent to Chicago were treated as something far removed from the gentlemen they acted. Our Senator has been belittled by the leader of the Democratic party, and his constant efforts toward good government were made light of with such remarks as “too many Byrds in the Senate.” With a small edition of a volume near the size of the unabridged dictionary, we could cite other instances that show the National Democratic organization has used us for a good foot mat. Most of us in Virginia are of the opinion that loyalty needs more than its own reward, and we feel no obligation whatsoever to this presentday so-called Democratic party. It is nigh unto impossible to elicit enthusiasm for the Republican party. They’ve been out of power so long that most of us cannot imagine what they would do. We can recall the former Republican administration that must surely be termed a failure. How do we know that they can do FRONT ROYAL THUR. - FRI., SEPT. 25 - 26 DOUBLE FEATURE OTTO KRUGER ELISSA LANDI DONALD WOODS —in— “CORREGIDOR” — Hit No. 2 — “SHAKE HANDS WITH MURDER” SATURDAY “RED STALLION IN THE ROCKIES” SUN. - MON., SEPT. 28f- 23 DENNIS MORGAN PATRICIA NEAL STEVE COCHRAN — in — “RATON PASS” TUESDAY, SEPT. 30 WEDNESDAY, OCT. 1 WILLIAM HOLDEN NANCY OLSON FRANK LOVEJOY — in,— . “FORCE OF ARMS” better now? Jokingly, we can say we think well vote for Norman Thomas: at least, he states out-and-out, in the open, that he's a socialist, and doesn’t try to hide behind another name with his socialistic ideas. It is no joke, however, when the time comes to vote and we have no one to vote for. Perhaps that puts t uS in one of those “minority groups” of which so much is heard. Many people seem to know for whom they will vote and they can state plainly Eisenhower or Stevenson as their choice. The ones of us who want neither are evidently the giinority, so maybe we’ll be taken care of by some of these “Fair Practices” policies and will be allowed to keep on about our business without the government taking all our profits and dictating how we shall run our daily rat-race. Frankly, the outlook is not pretty, no matter how it goes, and some of us still think we have no one to vote for. Deceptive Taxation Is Alarming Not one taxpayer in -a hundred suspects the extent to which buried taxes are cutting into his earnings. He kids himself that he at least isn’t footing the heaviest part of the nation’s tax bill. It is the big corporations and the millionaires, he figures, that gets hooked for that. He's wrong: through hidden axes, he, the American consumer, ir shouldering the bulk of the load. Today the average American is turning over. 32 cents out of every , dollar he earns to one tax collector or another. The federal income tax is bad enough. More insidious, however, are the hidden levies that hit the taxpayer when he isn’t looking— the taxes imposed on manufacturers and merchants, which are quietly passed along to the consumer in the form of higher prices. These also include the excise tax- slapped on by many states and cities When a man walks into a show PITTS On Brandy Road (Route 15) 1 Vfe Miles North of Culpeper 2 Shows N'Khtly: 7 :30 and 9:30 A CAR FULL FOR $1.00 Plus 20c tax . .

Some $624 has already stuck to the fingers of the federal, state and local tax collectors. By the time he shifts into gear the new owner will have joined in pajgng taxes on at least 200 separate transactions that went into creating the car. Hidden taxes multiply rapidly. For example there are more than 475 taxes on the construction and materials costs that go into a new house. A new fall hat for a woman carries 150 hidden levies, a man’s suit 116. On some items the invisible taxes total more than the real value of the product. This is True of a ton of coal, a gallon of gasoline a pack of cigarettes. On a loaf of bread, a quart of milk, or a pound of beef the tax comes to at least half the real value. The ‘Tax Foundation, a private research group that keeps an bye on Government spending and taxing, has figured out the load of hidden taxes on families of similar size in several income brackets. Here are the Foundation’s findings: On a $3500 income the family pays out $799 in hidden taxes—$249 to merchants and manufacturers, $302 in retail sales and excises, $140 for sqcial security, and $108 in realty and minor taxes. The family’s income taxes, incidentally, total only $299. On $4o00, hidden taxes come to $1039; income taxes to $455. On $7500 hidden taxes total $1432; income taxes $869. It is widely agreed that a tax load of 25 cents on tire average citizen’s dollar is about as far as a government can safely go. Up to this point, taxes pay their way and act as brakes on inflation. Above it, taxes push up prices and sap incentive. They make a man think twice before risking his cash to make a profit. They scare off and dry up the flow of equity capital into new plants, equipment and products. And this flow is the foundation on which America’s industries are built and on which their future growth depends. • . Americans are now taxed an average of 32 cents on the dollar—seven cents above the danger line. Persons with higher incomes, the biggest potential investors, are socked much harder. Unless there is a retreat, unless the Government forces itself to loosen its grip at least partly on the taxpayer’s pocketbook, industry’s future growth and development stand in jeopardy. The United States is in real danger of biting off its nose to spite its face. —from Newsweek GARDEN CLUB PICNIC The Rappahannock Garden Club will have a picnic at '“Ole Hollow Swimming Pool,” Saturday, September 27, for the September meeting.

"Why Dewey?” asked the editor. “Because I voted for him in the last two elections,” explained the farmer, “and I ain’t never had things so good in my whole life!” o o o At a home in the county there are three little girls who have a new baby brother. No one would want to dull the edge of their pleasure, but a tale could be told them of a 5-year-old girl who passed a remark some years, ago. She already had a 3-year-old brother, and when another haby brother arrived, she was greeted by a neighbor with the ever-appropriate remark, “Isn’t it nice that you have a baby"' brother!” The little girl raised large blackbrown eyes, and said in a voice forlorn but firm “You may don’t know what little brothers is.” o o o 17 That word “manana” is one that has a fascinating soutrd. When it is sung in all those Mexican tunes, il has a melodic quality. Being monolinguistic, I asked someone (familiar with the language) what the word meant. They gave me a reply something like this: Manana is the day when the confirmed loafer hustles forth to land a job and the over-worked plugger takes a rest. „ It is the day when the young son of the family cheerfully mows the lawn or sweeps off the snow, as the Case may be, and the daughter begs to be permitted to wipe the dinner dishes. Tt is the day innumerable hilts are paid and countless deeds of sweet benevolence done. It is the day when we quit fooling, get down to business and make things hum. It is the day we invite the smoke Inspector around to take a look at our balky chimney. - It is the day when neglected letters are written, frowsy heads trimmed, new leaves turned over, garden* planted, good ideas tried out, screen* put up or taken down, cars washed and the winter’s supply of coal ordered. Manana is the watchword of the weary, the slogan of the slumberer the passport of the pepless. It is re(See WALRUS page 4.)

This picture was made by a visiting newspaper from Culpeper •county. Ned. put his hat on so folks wouldn’t mistake him for an apple—that is, in ease the newspaper picture ^idn’t print up plain.

Carrying pictures of the Rappahannock Co-op. at Sperryville, The Culpeper Exponent last week explained the workings of a packing house: how the apples come from the orchards in marked crates, and are brushed and graded and packed. In an interview with manager JC. E. Johnson, Jr., it was reported that 50 workers at the Sperryville packing house were handling 2,500 bushels daily, “The Rappahannock Co-op was organized in 1936 and began packing in 1937. Its 14 original members are still the owners of the corporation and its building lies on five of the original eight acres purchased for the business.” “The officers are R. W. Miller, president, of YVoodville; E. M. Jones, vice president, of Washington; Mr. Johnson, secretary and manager, of Sperryville; and L. J. Kilby, sales manager, of Sperryville.” . “Before World War 11, according to Mr. Johnson, the co-op sofd thousands of bushels all over the world. Today, however, only a few are sold abroad because of the difficulty in financing purchases. “Several years ago the co-op sold three of its eight acres to two other Pick Your Corn - : i The Modern Way '#.

The U.S. today uses twice as much electricity as before World War 11. Is there enough for defense, for civilian needs and for such giant jobs as A-bomb man ufacture? Here’s how the electric light and power companies are meeting—and staying ahead of—these huge njeeds. NO.JOB TOO BIG Some people say that the really big electric power projects are johs only the government^dm handle. The facts disprove this. Five local electric companies have offered to develop all additional power available at Niagara Falls with a giant new power plant. Five other business-managed coiApanies are completing one of the largest single power plants ever built at one time — power to the new A-bomb plant at Paducah, Ky. Fifteen companies are ready to handle an even greater project for the Atomic Energy Commission. The electric light and power companies are ready and able to do the nation’s power job — and they can save you and other taxpayers many millions of dollars by doing it! PLENTY OF POWER. The electric companies have kept pace with the fast-growing demands for power. These companies met the unprecedented needs of World War II. And now, in the midst of their greatest expansion program, they have already doubled that wartime supply/ The only real shortages of electricity are in countries where national governments control the power industry. ERA OF TEAMWORK. The electric companies, where there is no interference from the federal government, work together with municipally-owned power systems and farm electric groups. Electric companies’ rates and earnings, of course, are closely regulated by state commissions or local authorities. However, federal electric projects are not subject to ' such regulation. » "MEET CORLISS ARCHER" will be heard on a new night—FRIDAY— at a new trine—9:30 P.M., Eastern Time- over ABC.

Wigington, who passed away one year ago, September 23, 1351. God gave us a wonderful mother, She was one who never grew old. God made her smile as the sunshine, He made her heart of pure gold. We sat beside her bedside And watched her soul depart; And when we saw that she had left us, It almost broke our hearts. Although her soul is now at rest And free from care and pain, This world would seem like Heaven If we had her back again. We often sit and think of her When we are all alone, For memory is the only friend That grief can call its own. It is sweet to be remembered, And pleasant it is to find That though she may be absent, She still is kept in our minds. THE WIGINGTON FAMILY, ltc Social Security News Social security checks mailed September 3 to 5,909 people who live in the ar^a served by the Alexandria office were the last under the old rates of payment, according to Miss Henrietta Mode, field representative of the Alexandria social security office. Payments due to the same people early in October will amount to about $233,114. As a result of changes made in the social security law in July, nearly everyone receiving old-age and survivors insurance benefits will get higher payments. Most retired work ers will receive increases ranging from $5 to $8.60. Increases for independents and survivors will be less than those for retired workers. In most cases, these increases will be about $2 to $5. “For example,” Miss Mode says, “a retired insured worker whose August payment is $40, based on earnings received since 1936, will get a September payment of $45: a worker who got $68.50 in the current check will get $77.10 the first week in October.” Z*A minor may patient his inventions.
