Rappahannock News, January 15, 1953

VOLUME 4—NUMBER 11 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 15, 1953 $2.00 PER YEAR Marking a year of growth and progress the directors and members of Rappahannock Home Mutual Fire. Insurance Company held its annual meeting Saturday morning, January lft at the Courthouse, Washington. With over $3-million in insured I property, the treasurer C J. Miller, | Jr., pointed out that the balance on ! hand was in excess of $46,000. Mr. Miller pointed with justifiable pride to the progress of the local company from 1938 to the present year. He stated that there was always comment from other companies about the rates being low, and he knew that the company, so far, had been lucky in having no expensive fires. He said that the aim of the company was to have $60,000 surplus in order to be ready for a fire. it. M. Jones presided at the Saturday meeting and «tried to turn his duties over to L. R. Hudson when that gentleman was renamed president. Mr. Hudson, beginning his ninth year as president of the company, commented that Mr. Jones was getting along so well he might as wellcontinue. L. R. Hudson,, who has been president since *the death of Wade H. Massie, states that none of. the original directors with whom he served is left. Wade H. Massie, Jr., was named vice-president, with C. J. Miller Jr., re-named secretary-treasurer. The entire list of directors was renamed : Robert L. Brown, R. L. Miller, B. R. Miller, C. E. Johnson, Jr., and L P. Cook,. Tht hi*# vke-presldeht also' as directors. One problem that confronts the small mutual fire company was discussed, that of the large companies objecting to the small rates charged, and attempts have been made to legislate against the small companies. Mr. Hudson said that he explained, the low rates on one of his trips to> Richmond on the company’s business. Someone asked him how the Rappahannock company could charge such low insurance fates. “That’s easy,” replied Mr. Hudson, “See all this fancy office you are working in, with all these fancy desks and expensive equipment? Well, in Rappahannock we hold our business meetings on the Courthouse lawn under the maple trees if the weather is good, and if it’s bad weather We go in the Courthouse. We don’t have a lot of expensive overhead.” Three new members of the company were recognized in attendance at the meeting: Frank H. Cary, who is a returned memlier, and Mr. Pearman and Mr. Slavik, both new members from Amissville neighborhood. A complete financial report of condition of business appears in this issue of the paper.

Harrison Calls For Return of Bank’s Business; Barksdale Named Birector “Get the government out of banking," stated Burr P. Harrison at the annual dinner meeting of the stockholders of Rappahannock National Bank in the Washington Firehouse, Tuesday noon. Speaking as a former banker, Judge Harrison reported that he remembered banking in 1933. He said that he approved of a government that turned in, in an emergency, and gave business a ‘shot in the arm’ to help -save the day, but when the socalled emergency continued until it took over the bankers' business, then that had gone too far. Cashier J. Rodes Brown, Jr., called °n P. W. Anderson to return thanks for the dinner. Wade H. Massie, Jr., introduced James W. Fletcher, who in turn, introduced Judge Harrison. The ladies of the Auxiliary of Trinity Episcopal church served a delicious dinner to the 34 guests present * ' President Robert W. Miller was unable to attend due to illness.

RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia DIAL WASHINGTON 2S61 LUCY CATHERINE BOWIE _ Publisher Entered as second-class mail matter at the SUBSCRIPTION: (in advance) _ post office at Washington, VirE&M $2.00 It’s Not a Pretty Story The discussiori of a school problem at Flint Hill P.-T. A. meeting tomorrow night, (Friday) will more than likely bring up subjects that won’t be pleasant to the ear. The teachers are not happy over too-crowded conditions in the school—and no one can blame them. Anyone who visits the school can see that rooms are over-crowded and teachers are asked to teach too many children in one room..The situations defy description, but imagination can easily picture the problem of a teacher trying to teach two grades to 40 students in a roorp that was meant to seat 20. She can’t get around to all the work that should be done—there just plain isn’t time enough—and she is unhappy about her work. Any teacher likes to see her work going along well, and if the students aren’t learning as she thinks they should, then her work isn't pleasant. It isn’t that the teacher doesn’t want to teach—she can't, for there isn’t time to get ar&utid to the individual needs of 40 children in a day. One- of the sadest outcomes of Friday night's meeting probably will be the futility that will greet those who try to solve the problem to improve the schooling. Nothing can be done now, with the Surpreme Court -decision pending on the segregation question. The needs throughout the county are manifold. A new high school is needed, so badly and so obviously that there is no use to bring it up again. There's a crowded situation in a room at Amissville school, and also at Reager school. The Sperryville school gives the appearance of being nearly perfect, ibut that is because of comparison with the other schools in the county. The truth is, Sperryville, also, is crowded. % The situation is indeed an unhappy one. More About Social Security By DeWitt Emery (EDITOR’S NOTE: DeWitt Emery is president of the National Small Business Men’s Associating.) Another phase of the Social Security set-up which is badly in need of correction is the way the money is handled—the money which is deducted from your pay and mine and the remittances our employers make for us in addition to what we pay.' As it is now, the net efect of sending this money to Washington is to increase the national debt. 1 submit; that there isn’t any security for you or me or anyone else in debt—public or private. It may be hard for you to believe that your government, which is supposed to be the very essence of honor and integrity, would force you to buy an old age pension, whether you want it or not, that spend the money it collects from you and your employer, leaving nothing with which to pay your claim when it becomes due except a Treasury Department I.O.U.—but that's exactly how it is. Here’s how it works. The money deducted from your pay, plus an equal amount paid by your employer, is remitted to Washington. When this money gets to Washington, It is deposited in the general fund of the Treasury, and is used by the Treasury to pay the day-day operating expenses of the Federal Government. In other words, the money which is supposed to provide a pension for your old age is spent as soon as it gets to Washington. Once a year Congress appropriates for the Social Security Board whatever amount the Board says is necessary to enable it to pay operating expenses and benefits for the next year.. The difference between what Congress appropriates for the Board and the total amount of Social Security collections for that year is added to the Social Security Reserve Fund. By way of an easilyunderstood illustration, let us assume that last year Social Security collections totaled $3.5 billion, and Washington, D. C„ As Viewed By Yonr Senator, A. Willis Robertson FOREIGN TRADE POLICY MAY BE HARMONY TEST A warm feeling of friendship and mutual respect exicts between Republican leaders of the Senate and Southern Democrats and this permitted the new session to start on a harmonious note. On issues of international cooperation and mutually beneficial international trade, however, President Eisenhower may find, before the end of the session, that he has more solid support from the Southern Democrats than from some of his own party leaders. I am gravely concerned not only over the 12 percent over-all drop in farm prices during the last year but also over the greater drop in the price of cattle and the recent reaction of commodity markets to Prime Minister Churchill’s statement that war in 'Europe is less imminent now than it had been previously. Virginia farmers face the prospect of lower prices next year for cotton, wheat, tobacco peanuts, with little prospect of relief from higher operating expenses. Their problem can be made much more serious if there is a further drop in agricultural exports and that is inevitable unless we stimulate rather than weaken our foreign trade program. During coming weeks my best attention will be given to the question of how we can protedt the farmers of Virginia and of the nation from what next year could be a depression for them, notwithstanding prosperity in that the appropriation for the Board for the same year was $1.5 billion. This would leave $2 billion to be added to the Reserve. Right there is where the increase in the national, debt comes in. A brand-new special government bond is issued to the Social Security Board for $2 billion and the national debt is increased by that amount. These special government bonds are non-negotiable, cannot be sold on the open market, can only be redeemed by the Treasury, and the only way in which the Treasury can get the money to redeem these bonds is by having Congress levy a special tax on everyone for that purpose. Yes, everyone would have to pay these taxes, including those who have already paid once for their old age pensions. In words of one syllable, this means paying twice for one benefit. But you say, “that's crooked, that’s fraud,” and you are exactly 100 percent right. It is the biggest fraud ever put across on an unsuspecting people. What's the answer? How can this condition be corrected and Social Security made an honest agency? As I see it, the remedy is a very simple one. First take Social Security out of the Federal Security Agency and make it an independent agency. Second, have all Social Security Funds remitted directly to the Social Security Board. Third, t heBoard would pay its operating expenses and current benefits out of these funds, and then invest what is left over for the Reserve Fund in negotiable government bonds bought in the open market. All private insurance companies in the country have part of their reserve funds invested in government bonds. lne Social Security Board under this plan would invest its Reserve Fund in exactly the same kind of government bonds. There would not be any increase in the national debt involved because the Board would be buying bonds which had already been issued and when the Board needed to cash some bonds, all it would have to do would be to sell them in the open market, just as any bank or insurance company does when funds are required. Handling the Social Security set-up in this way would eliminate the fraud and make Social Security the honest agency k very definitely should be. January as a month is badly maligned. People poke fun at New Year’s resolutions. A new tax year begins. The weather is considered bad. On the worst of the industrial field. DEMOCRATIC ORGANIZATION Democratic harmony was preserved by giving representation to the liberal group in appoirttment of the Senate Policy . Committee, which determines the official party position on pending legislation and the Sterring Committee, which appoints the members of all other standing committees. It was noticeable, however, that Southern conservatives have a workirig majority on both of these committees. I was happy to follow in the footsteps of Senators Martin, Swanson and Glass of Virginia by being named to the Steering Committee. I supported Senator Johnson of Texas for Minority Leader. He is an able man, a splendid debater and has plenty of courage. DEBATE LlMINATION REJECTED _* On several occasions when so-called civil rights bills dealing with a federal fair"" employment practices commission or federal prohibition of state poll taxes have come before the Senate I have opposed them, primarily on the ground that they were unconstitutional. That objection, in my opinion, is so overwhelming that it should hardly be necessary to consider various practical objections to these proposals. . At the opening of this session of the Congress a group of the more ardent advocates of civil rights legislation gave an exceptionally clear indication of their willingness to abandon constitutional principles to attain their ends. They tried to open the way for action on their bills by arguing that the Senate is not a continuing body and claiming it must adopt new rules each time it meets. This viewpoint was obviously in conflict with the intention of the founders of our nation, who gave the Senate continuity by providing that only one third of its membership should be chosen every two years, with a majority sufficient to carry on business always holding over. All precedents of the Senate and textbooks on government also are in line with the viewpoint that it is a continuing body. Happily, conservative Republicans and Democrats were united in opposing the move to change our rules in such a way as to prevent the un. limited debate which Thomas Jefferson regarded as so essential to protect the rights of- minority groups. With this radical proposal voted down after two days of debate we were able to proceed with organization of the Senate and prepared to take up the program for this session which the new President will shortly present to us.

WALRUS (Continued from page 2) grunting and groaning about in* come taxes can come then. You need not stop complaining about the humidity just because it*s winter. You can, of course, complain about the lack of humidity if the ■ house is hot. If you wish to avoid any trouble along this line, just help some of the sheep-raisers this time of year. After a few night sessions of taking care of lambs, you don't notice either the humidity or the lack of it. Then, if you’re not thoroughly satisfied with the heat of the house, get yourself up early enough to help feed the cattle. Your hot coffee will taste better at breakfast. There used to be a Thrift Week, but little has been heard of it lately. It might be that too few people took enough notice of it. Some fellow said that he never had enough money to keep track of, let alone be thrifty with, so perhaps it would be rather silly for him to celebrate Thrift Week. If you insist that the observation of Thrift Week be revived, I would suggest that you celebrate by tying a nickel in the corner of your handkerchief. If you do this whenever you have a spare nickel, some day when you are in financial striats you may find that you have three or four nickels. So much for January. It isn’t such a bad month; it just has 31 days and can’t possibly be as short as February. o o o Our new President takes over his duties Tuesday. The prayers of the nation go with him—and he’ll need them! Our city1 papers will probably begin raking up a lot of dirt, scandal, and all kinds of stories on how bad the former administration was. Some of us won’t get too upset. We can recall that the country was not in the best possible shape in 1933 when the Democrats took over. Let’s give them the benefit of the doubt and. say they tried to help the country. This new crowd going into'power in Washington can say, also, that the country is not in the best possible shape. If they try to help it, that’s all that can be expected. O 0,0 As of right now, the wife of the President of the United States is “Mrs. Eisenhower” in these quarters. I’m sick of “Mamie” and “Bess” and all the other use of familiar first names of people in public life. I’m betting you never hear an Englishman refer to his Queen as “Lizzie” or any other nickname. Since when did Americans get to the point that they can’t treat the wife of the Chief Executive with as much respect? o o o There is usually one reason why a man buys something. With a woman it might be one of. eight reasons: (1) because her husband says she can’t have it, (2) because it will make her look thin, (3) because it comes from Paris, (4) because the neighbors can’t afford it, (5) because nobody has one, (6) because everybody has one, (7) because it is different, and (8) “because” . . . o O O Some of us may not agree with Westbrook Pegler. (I've heard one fellow say he reads the column just to give his temper a workout.) But Pegler cut loose Tuesday on man’s laziness, citing the ridiculous occasions of so many declared holidays. He noted that' in New York City, which Mr. Pegler says is not a rich city, hut a poor one, a recent holiday of one day cost the city $550,000. Quoth the gentleman: “The thing to do when you are broke is not to ,work less but more; not to waste money but to save it. No municipal employee ever died of overwork on 48 hours a week and the 40-hour, five-day week is a device of the devil invented by tiie union rackets under cover of the Roosevelt panic to spread the work. Basically, it is not enough work to keep people out of mischief. The Bible said nothing about any five-day week but, pointedly, to the contrary, said ‘six days shalt thou labor/ The Bible says nothing about overtime or premium pay for work on Have Faith In God By G. M. Profitt Jesus said, "Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you receive it, and you will.” Mark 11:24. Often we pray unto God and then become discouraged because there seems to be no answer coming. And because there is no answer in sight Saturdays , or Artificial arbitrary holidays/' I once heard a fellow deliver a lecture on that Commandment. He said people preached long and loud on not working on the Sabbath, but they failed to read the rest of the Commandment that mentioned what you were supposed to do on the other six days. L. fi.

Usually tf»e trouble lies not in God’s lack of answering our prayers, but within us. We are trying to walk by sight and not by faith. We need not grow discouraged because our prayers aren’t answered immediately, even though our text seems to imply an immediate answer. Often while we are fretting in impatience God is bringing our request to pass. His work is rarely observable to the eye of man until it is completed. We must have die eye of faith in order to watch God at work. Another hindrance to prayer is that we usually try to impose our will upon God rather than submit ours to His. We may also be asking for something we could not have at that time and He has to bring us to the place where we will be capable of using the thing we asked for. You would not give a child a knife just because it asked for it, but after it becomes of age then you would not hesitate to give it the knife. Remember Jesus also said to Thomas and to all the long roll of doubters who have ever since followed Him, “Blessed are they who have not seen, and yet have believed.’* We will never be doubting Thomases if we walk by faith and not by sight. BIBLE CLASS MEETING The Ladies’ Bible class of the Flint Hill Methodist church will hold its regular meeting in the home of Mrs. Fannie Eastham, Thursday, at 7:30 p.m. Baptist Chnrcb News The Washington Baptist church has about completed its Sunday School rooms.

Believe me, that makes keeping house and getting meals pretty complicated. e When you have a job in a plant you get used to modem methods, efficient machinery and the quickest, easiest way of doing things. I guess that started me thinking about home problems and how I could make things easier. Joe—my husband—and I talked it over and decided that if modem machinery is good in a plant it ought to be good at home. Of course, the word modem suggested electric and mot s how we got interested m on electric range. It was the best buy we ever made. Now I can fix a meal before we go to work in the morning, put it in the oven, set the automatic controls ond have a hot dinner ready when we come home at night.

KEYSER Telephone Washington 2551 RAPP-CHATS—From Pago 1 improve dairy cattle and milk production. There have been some questions asked your county agent which he couldn’t answer regarding the sale bf cows at auction markets as affected by the new regulation issued by the state veterinarian and were passed on to Dr. Bendix. The following letter and reply are offered: “Your new regulation governing sal£ of breeding cattle at auction markets has created much confusion among Raopahannock farmers. Even though I have a copy of this regulation there are a number of questions I can not answer and therefore would appreciate, your clarification. They arc as follows: 1. If all untested cows and heifers are to be sold by the pound can a ^ farmer buy and take back to his farm for breeding purposes if he desires to take such a risk? 2. It is felt cows sold by the head in this area bring approximately $25 more per head when sold through markets than they do when sold by the pound. What is your estimated loss per cow in Virginia as result of Brucellosis? In other words which loss is the greater or smaller, etc? 3. If several cows go to market in the same truck and are penned together during blood testing processes are the clean reactors considered safe to take home even though one or more in the same load may have been a reactor? 4. If the plate test is to be used will such test be recognizzed for intestate shipment of non reactors from this test put into accredited herds? 5. What effect will the regulation have on the overall beef price structure? Dr. Bendix’s reply is as follows: “The regulations requiring testing of cattle at weekly auction markets is another ' step toward Brucellosis eradication. Extensive calf vaccination has progressed to die point that most of our herds now contain vaccinated animals in production. The time has come, we feel, to take the next step which* is to prevent the free and unrestricted sale of diseased or doubtful cows. Stopping this practice in the auction markets is part of it. Later on the sale or transfer of a cow from any person to another will be prohibited unless the animal is tested and clean. When you stop the spread of the disease by these methods then eliminating the residual infection should not be either a difficult or a costly process. This is simply one step in a plan and considered program. Now to answer your questions. ^ 1. The regulations only require the testing of cows, not heifers. Any cow going hackdo the farm from stockyards will have to be tested. 2. I don’t know how to answer this question. I am interested in controlling the spread of Brucellosis by preventing the sale of untested cattle. I firmly believe that after this regulation has been enforced for a time that being able to buy a currently clean tested cow will attract buyers to the markets that up to now have shunned them. This should be reflected in increased value for these tested cattle. This has been the Experience of these markets where testing has been done regularly. 3. Positive reactors are taken out of any load and will be marketed for slaughter. Those passing the test even though in the some load will be sold as the seller wishes. I realize that this is not perfect solution but it is far better than no protection at all. 4. The plate test will only be recognized to release the cows for sale at the market where she is tested. It will have no recognition beyond this. We cold not permit the plate test to be made, a useful tool for the unscrupulous dealer and cow jockey. 5. I do not contemplate that the regulation wlil have much effect one way or another on the price of beef. I see no reason why it should. There is some difference between straight slaughter cows and reactor cows. This is inevitable and proper because •of the restrictions placed on the latter. Some abuses have been noted but the market managers and their patrons can straighten this out without difficulty.” Local Dealer Gets Preview Of New Low-Cost Baler A private showing of New Holland’s Jong-waited low-cost automatic pick-up baler was attended by J. Douglas Swan and A. S. Bowman, representing the local New Holland Authorized Dealer, J. A. Swan, Jr., and Co. The preview was held in Lynchburg, Virginia, where New Holland dealers got their first look at the Model 66. Engineers say this is the most compact baler ever built, especially designed for farmers with smaller hay acreages. Just as soon as J. A. Swan, Jr. and Co. gets his first Model 66 he plans to hold a public showing in his place of business. Introduction of the Model 66 will not be announced na tionally until later, but details of the new baler were disclosed to New Holland dealers at the preview. Some of the outstanding geatures are: Pre-compressed baling which increases capacity and handles hay more gently; low center of gravity for extra stability even on hilly hayfields ; compact construction which permits easy operation and “bird'seye visibility over the machine while in action; and complete operator convenience devices.
