Letter To Editor Please publish this letter in the hopes that it will correct some of the thoughtless behavior of youngsters in this community. There have been complaints of exploding fireworks being thrown onto porches of private residences and of fireworks being set off on the street amid a crowd of people. According to the Town Ordinance governing fireworks, only on holidays such as Christmas Day, Christmas Eve, New Years Day, New, Years Eve, George Washington’s birthday, and Independence Day can they be set off on the streets of the Town of Washington. Since private property should never be used without the consent of the owner, the only suitable and logical place for setting off fireworks would then be your own property except on the / afore mentioned holidays. Please stop to consider before using fireworks that even though they do offer a source of real enjoyment, they also can create a fire hazard and an injury hazard to people and animals. Consideration of others is the essence of the true Christmas spirit that abounds everywhere at t^tis season of the year. So let’s make this a Merry Christmas for everyone. Thanking you, I remain, « ~ ’ Sincerely, Dorothy C. Davis, Mayor Fog Spoils Parade Many children—and adults as well—were disappointed Tuesday night when the dense fog spoiled the parade of fancy balloon floats which the merchants of Culpeper had secured to help Santa inaugurate the Christmas shopping season in the town. Reports say that the fog was so thick you couldn’t see the tops of the balloon figures unless a spot-light was played on them. Those who could see stated that the parade was most attractive and it was a shame everyone could not see. Front Royal opened its Christmas season last night, with festivities in the town. It is to be hoped they had better luck with the weather-man. WINCHESTER ISSUES SPECIAL INVITATION The Retail Merchants of Winchester have issued a special invitation to the people of Rappahannock to attend the city’s big Christmas parade and party Monday, December 15, with the parade starting at 7 p.m. The sincerity and cordiality of their invitation is not to be judged by the small space here. The merchants wanted a big invitation printed in the paper, but the announcement came on a late mail yesterday and there wasn’t room left. “Novelties and candy for the kiddies” will be on hand at the party, says the invitation and the whole family is invited. Attend Richmond Conference Mr. and Mrs. Rayner V. Snead were in Richmond Friday and Saturday while Mr. Snead was in attendance at the Convention of Commonwealth Attorneys. Mr. Snead was elected as 7th district representative to the Executive Board of the Association of Commonwealth Attorneys of Virginia. ■•MIMIHIMIIIHMfItllllltlinhtiaHIIMfimMIHIlHIIIItHm RAPP - CHATS By: W.

Sixtyfive lots will sell of which five are bulls. This can well be an opportunity to buy at a bargain. The Potomac Edison Company has the mighty fine habit of sponsoring Four State Winter meetings and Four State Farm Tours (summer) for farmers which I consider top notch agricultural affairs. At present plans are being formulated for the winter meeting to be held Friday, January 23, 1953, at Franklin Court in Hagerstown. The topics selected for discussion are as follows: 1.

The boys game was hard fought and not as easy a victory as the score would indicate. The girls game was a pushover, with the teams unevenly matched. Fire Christmas Birthdays Recorded In County Requesting a list of county citizens who celebrate December 25 as their .birthday, Rappahannock News, so far, has a list of five.

D. MILLER IMPROVING D. D. Miller has been confined at his home, “Maple Springs,” for several days. He is much improved following an attack of virus pneumonia. Re-Districting Place Rappahannock With Fauquier County Long associated with tfie mother county, Culpeper, Rappahannock was placed with Fauquier in the re-districting last week for a Delegate in the Assembly. With requests that Rappahannock be placed with Madison, Orange, and Culpeper, it was found *that the combined populations of the four counties would number in excess of 40,000 inhabitants, leaving Fauquier county with one delegate and a population of 21,000, Rappahannock’s 6.000 was deducted from the 40,000 and added to the 21,000 to make a more even distribution of 33,000 and 27,000. The situation was understandable, but not pleasantly received in some quarters. The reasons for placing Rappahannock with .Madison, Orange, and Culpeper were stated thus: these four counties are more alike in business, being farming and, fruit growing; the four counties are already together in the building of a high school for Negroes (Carver Regional High School) ; and Rappahannock had been with Culpeper and did not seek change. Fauquier county, having had a delegate for the county alone, sought no associate. Statements that had been repeated saying Fauquier didn't want Rappahannock seem to have stemmed from the fact that they wanted no one. • There were never any reasons that Fauquier had any prejudices against Rappahannock; it was just that they had had their own delegate and wanted the district to remain as it was. Delegate Tom Frost, of Fauquier, is known by many Rappahannock people and is spoken of in highest terms. This re-districting does not go into effect until after the 1965 election. The 1956 session of the Assembly will be the fipt body seated under the new organization. Elections in 1953 will be under the same districts. Culpeper and Rappahannock will elect a delegate for one more two-year term, as will Madison and Orange district. No statement has been issued by either of the present delegates from these two districts, but it'is supposed that D. French Slaughter, of Culpeper-Rappahannock, and Norman Bailey, of OrangeMadison, will seek re-election. Outside information says that Norman Bailey’s re-naming may be declined by that gentleman, but he has made no statement to that effect. Since one of them is out in the 1955 re-districting, there is no way* to tell which one may seek the Assembly seat. The new district, placing Rappahannock with Fauquier, is cause for much comment in the county. It can be summed up ‘by re-wording the old “I don’t know where I’m going but I’m on my way” to into “We don’t know where we are but here we sit.” The county is thrown around with senatorial, house, and school districts, until it needs a card-file index to keep up with where-you-are-when. The state senatorial district associates Rappahannock over the mountain with neighbors Warren and Page; the present delegate is with Culpeper, while the future one will be with Fauquier; the school system is jointly with Warren couifty, while the Negro high school is with Madison, Orange, and Culpeper. If Rappahannock people can keep dp with all their associates in all these businesses of governing and school-running, at least they will have to get about In every direction l

Rappahannock News Published Thursday Morning at Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia Dim! Washington 2851 LUCY CATHERINE BOWIE Publisher Entered as second-class mail matter at the post office at Washington, Virginia. Subscription: .... $2.00 a year Do We Have The New Judge? There are strong hopes in Rappahannock that our Commonwealth Attorney Rayner V. Snead will he named as the new district judge for Loudoun, Fauquier, and Rappahannock when the Governor makes the appointment January 1, 1953. Some speculation is running x about that maybe now, since Fauquier will have the delegate in the Assembly, perhaps they will be generous and think Rappahannock should see at least one chance to have some office go to one of its very worthy citizens. Commonwealth Attorney R. V. Snead is known as a conscientious man, strong in a sense of duty and right doing. It is felt that he will make a good judge and the Rappahannock people hope he will be named judge. Our New Associate Now that Rappahannock is in the district with Fauquier, we can hope for the best. There have been no particular reasons to think we will have any red carpet of welcome rolled out. All we can hope is that the Fauquier people won’t find our association too unpleasant. Of course, the shoe fits on the other foot, too. There was an open expression in the meeting at Richmond, when one Rappahannock citizen stated that his grandfather had moved from Fauquier to Rappahannock because the Fauquier people were “horse-loving and * whiskey-drinking” and the grandson called that Rappahannock not be placed in the Delegate district with Fauquier. It was plainly stated that Fauquier didn’t want anyone with them in the re-districting, but they did voice the sentiment that if it had to be anyone, let it l»e Rappahannock. Interpretation of that remark can be both complimentary and uncomplimentaiy. All the discussion has gone pro and con. Some folks think that insufficient effort was put forth by our former associate, Culpeper, in order to keep us with them. Other folks think that the population numbers would have been too unfair to allow this four-county district (Orange, Madison, Culpeper, and Rappahannock) to be balanced against the single county of Fauqpier. Some folks resented the appearance that Rappahanwas being dropped about wherever it suited other people. Regardless of opinions of what * Wommts cloth* go to extremes, hmt seldom to «*• fremiti*.

Things We Take For Granted More than any other people, we Americans tend to take the good things of life-—including many ar* tides that the average family abroad Would regard as rare luxuries—for granted. We assume that cur farms and factories will produce endless streams of foods and manufactured goods. We assume that our thousands upon thousands of retail stores, large and small, chain and independent, located in the great cities and the little villages, will stock the goods we want and offer them for sa’e at prices we can afford to pay. What we often forget is the system, the way of living and doing things, that has made this possible It is, basica'ly, a system which places its strongest emphasis on individual initiative and freedom. It is a system which encourages people to take chances in the hope of reward. It is a system—despite all the deviations we have taken from it in recent years— which holds that government is nest wmcn governs least. It is a system in which all kinds of enterprise, from the biggest manufacturer to the newest and smallest retailer, must compete for business—and in "V^hich those who do the best job win the public’s favor and patronage. And it is this system which created our living standards and which supports them. You might think oi tnat the next time you go shopping. All the abundance of foods and goods you see are the result of our unique system of free enterprise. 'The Time Hob Come * the Walras said • • • fUlllNIIItIHH Some fellow has written himself an article on the subject that popular grammatical corruptions have charm and fascination for most people. (I have no way to prove it, but I’d bet two nickels he moves in a circle that insists on correct speech and among folks who wouldn’t do business nor drink coffee with you unless you speak the King’s English.) The fellow did quote a couple that were interesting reading, but there are few of us who wouldn’t squirm to have such spoken at our dinner table. This one was a sample? “If I hadda knowed that you wanted to have went, I certainly would have see’d that you got to git to gb.” It’s expressive, beyond argument. I still don't like it. o o o Washington (D.C.) got itself tangled up in a fog to the extent it caused newspaper headlines.

I know a dentist who puts a large dictionary in his waiting room. On my last visit I learned two new words before the dentist cleaned my teeth and ex* tracted my money. The first word was “aardvark” and—-so the dictionary says, and I've not located a person who argues about it—this thing is a large, nocturnal, burrowing mammal of Africa, subsisting largely on termites, and having a long, extensible tongue, clawd, and conspicuously long ears. I'm not sure I’d know one if I saw it, but then, again, I’m not anticipating a trip to Africa; and in the zoo the names are written over the cages. That takes care of the aardvark; past, present, and future. The second word, hit at random, was “serendipity.” This is a noun describing the gift some people possess of finding valuable or agreeable things or ideas without searching for them. (That should not worry me too much.) I think I’d better start studying Latin; the English language is entirely too complicated, o o o I heard a fellow say the other day that before his first-born arrived he penned these words under the heading of ‘'words to be eaten later: have ’em; love ’em; and leave ’em be. ’ The sentiments are still his, he declares, even though he is now living through the daughter’s 15th year and watching her learn the hard way after she insisted (contrary to his advice * upon purchasing a 1931 model-A.

Eleven hundred and one replacement heifers belonging to one hundred and fifty-six different farmers were vaccinated which should give life time protection from this dreaded disease. Mr. Brown stated further he felt vaccnation added at least $5 per head value to the hefers and that through such a county—wide program organized by his committeemen and the county agent approximately $550 in cost to the fanner was saved. The Committee and County Agent are grateful to Dr. W. L. Wake, the local veterinarian, for his cooperation in connection with the project.

Christmas Card Postage Words of caution are issued by the postmasters stating that Christmas greeting cards, unsealed and with a 2-cent stamp, cannot be forwarded if the address is incorrect. If the unsealed greeting card bears a return address, the postmaster can notify the sender and, with sufficient postage added, send the card on to the one to whom it is addressed. All these postal regulations—with their if’s and whereas's—are confusing, and it seems pretty sound advice to send the cards just like regular letters with 3-cent stamps and return addresses. Postmasters are urging that Christmas mailing be done early. The lastminute rush may prevent your greeting card arriving in time for the holiday season. I« MARSHALLr HOW, MUCH?
