NEW PENALTY ADDED FOR FAILURE TO FILE TAX A new penalty of 10%, with a minimum 6f $2.00, has been put on this year for failure to file all personal property returns after May 1. It used to be that a penalty was placed for failure to file intangible and personal property tax declarations; this year the penalty is on tangible, and intangible as well. The Commissioner says this new penalty will probably cause the same complaints »as former penalties; it brings out the age-old excuse, “But I didn’t know about it.” The May 1 deadline for filing personal property taxes is the same each year. Good advice says file the tax return early and be sure you avoid any extra penalty.

RAPP- OHATS By: W. H. Ljn« County Afot SuMItllMUmill Rappahannock farmers are well equipped with electric power, however, comparatively few are making use of it as a means of having water under pressure for use on the farm and in the home. Seventy-two present of our farms have electric service while only 90 farms or 13% have electric water pumps! _ In fact Rappahannock ranks ^1950 Census) 64th among Virginia Counties will respect to percentage of farms having electric service hut only 91 st with respect to pressure water system. Even considering the number of gravity water systems we have this rating is alarmingly now. Rappahannock has the lowest percentage of farms with pressure water systems than anyother county in Northern Virginia. Statewide only Bath, Buchanan, Dickinson, Greenville, Halifax, Highland, Lee, Russell and Scott counties have a lower percentage of farms with such systems. While most of these are mountain counties, and thereby would have more gravity systems than many Virginia counties, four out of the nine have less electric service available. Then, too, when it oomes to nearby mountain counties: 36% of the farms in Madison have pressure water systems; 23% in Page, and 26% in Warren. Forty-five out of a hundred farms in Fauquier have electric water pumps white in Culpeper 39% of the farms and homes have electric water systems. Is this situation due to: cost, insuffideritwater supply, or a need 'for more information ? That of course is the big question. In traveling over the country one sees more and more television areals oh homes that do not have water systems. Perhaps in such cases TV salesmen have been doing a better selling job than we agricultural workers. Which may I ask is a luxury item? Yet many folks look upon a home and farm water system as a luxury. Perhaps T V suppliers are doing a better job of customer financing than are water system suppliers. Perphaps loan agencies have done a better job in financing cost of barn or machinery shed construction than they have in the case of water systems.' Perphaps few of us have ever thought of trying to get a loan to meet water supply installation costs. Most loan agencies consider a good risk just that, and aren’t too concerned over how the money is used so long as it is for some constructive purpose. Yea, ‘tis a sad situation here in Rappahannock when we ponder over how few of our farms and farm homes have good water systems. What can be done about it ? Time will tell—maybe less time than many of us think. Are you planning to construct a Trench Silo this year? Several Rappahannock farmers have done so in recent years and I know of two fanners making plans to construct three in the near future. G, D. Kite, specialist in farm strictures at VPI, will be in Rappahannock the last week in March on trench sik) work so let me know if you’d like to talk with him. Trench silos are becoming more popular aU over the country among dairy and beef cattle farmers. Construction cost is about 1/3 that of upright silos and now that more permanency is possible with new technology in design and structure at loiy cpsts, pips simple adaptability te self feeding there is no Wonder interest in this type of silo is growing. Walls can now be made fairly permanent, 40 years, and thats about as long as most of us are concerned over permancy, through reinforced pitatering. A step-by-step method of doing this job is included in a movie tt '.-Jp - ''*9V0*&r' j|* Chief Fire Warden Attends Animal Meeting The Annual Chief Forest Warden meeting of the Virginia Forest Service Northern Piedmont District was held at Orange for the sixth successive year. Chief Forest Warden Raymond M. Johnson of Rappahannock county attended this meeting, as Rappahannock county. is one of the sixteen counties comprising the Northern Piedmont District. Chief Forest Warden Johnson said the plans were made for this spring and fall forest fire season. Extensive plans for preventing forest fires were discussed, along with impartial enforcement *®of the State forest fire laws as well as methods to improve i actual forest fire suppression work by strengthening the county organization with the addition of several local wardens and auxiliary. A large portion of this meeting was also devoted to' forest management and reforestation: In the afternoon at a nearby farm, the Forest Service tree planter was demonstrated by planting several hundred forest tree seedlings. A power wagon equipped with hand tools, power pump and fire line plow was also demonstrated at this time. The meeting dosed at approximately 3 p.m. with the expression of desires' of all members of the Virginia Forest Service the general public cooperate with the Forest Service organization in using discretion in brush burning while doing land clearing operations this spring.

RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At W—hingS7K»pyh>llPO«k County, Virginia DIAL WASHINGTON 2857” LUCY CATHERINE BOWIE-Publisher Entered as second-class mail matter at the post office at Washington, Virginia SUBSCRIPTION : (in advance)---$2.00 a year On the Job Within 24 hours after Rappahannock people had learned that a proposal had been made to cut the mail service in the county, Representative Burr P. Harrison had mailed back to Rappahannock a copy of his letter to the post office officials expressing the concern of his constituents over the suggestion. It was felt that Judge Harrison would realize how a cut-in-half mail service would inconvenience Rappahannock, and his quick, “Onthe-Job’ response shows well how our representative looks out for our needs. In case some people can't understand the county’s enthusiasm for their Representative, mark this instance down for future reference. It*s one of many cases where the county citizens have found Judge Harrison on the job and ready to help. Firemen Plan Co-operation The three fire companies of the county are outlining plans to cooperate in money-raiBing projects during the coming year. Several plans, at present in the discussion stage only, include a possible county firemens baseball team and a county-wide firemen’s carnival. Working on the theory of strength in unity, the three small companies are beginning to think in terms of helping each other. Amisaville, Sperryville, and Washington are each small communties, each with her own fire company, and each alive in her own community, but each also realizes that it will foe comforting to know that one or both of the other two will he on hand to help if the need arises. Combined, the three companies cover the greatest part of the county. The combined work of all three communities would make, an organization hard to beat. (Flint Hill community is included in the Washington company, for members of fire company and auxiliary live in Flint Hill. Woodville is connected in this same way with the Sperryville company.) No definite plans have been completed, but at present discussions include the possibility of cleaning off a baseball diamond on the Flat Woods property, the proposed site of the future (?) county high school. I'Thm Timm Ham Comm,9 j the Walrus said . . . UmIW JMIMMlimilM Some fellow in Texas has come up with theory that persons who sleep north to south sleep fetter and live longer than those whose beds are lined up east to west. With nothing else to worry me, 1 got to pondering on this deep question. Just before going to sleep, I figured—as near as I could without a compass—that the bed upon which 1 was prone put me reclining, head-to-foot, southeast to northwest. If I could have managed to remain awake a few extra minutes, I might have figured which way, catty-cornered, I could have shifted the carcass and met the points of the compass—but then, on second thought, that man said “north to south;” I would have to put the pollows down at the foot of the bed—aw, heck! that’s, too much trouble, and besides, I was sleep long before that was figured out! There are some of us who still maintain that what we want is a few more restful hours a-bed In the morning—we don’t care which direction th4 bed faces. ■Get back to the man’s theory: he says when the sleeper is lined up north-south he benefits from magnetic currents. What about your magnetic currents if you happen to shift about during your sleep? Looks like you are either going to be strapped in bed according to those north-south magnetic currents, or else you might get your currents cut off. The idea might be worth a try on the baby; maybe those northsouth magnetic currents would keep him sleeping past five-thirty in the morning and let mom and dad get some extra napping. Overheard: “If there is anything worse than a waffle that’s cold, or mashed potatoes three days old, its suddenly meeting a fat old hen that you loved in school in 1910.” o o o A recent newspaper ad of the Oklahoma School of Accounting was headed: “Short Course in Ascounting for Women.” Not long after the ad appeared, a note reached the school’s president. It said: “There NO accounting for women.” o © © Half of Februray is gone. Crocuses (or is it croci?) pushed their heads through the earth and started blooming when the chill hit them again. o o e February is a famous birthday month. On the lltb the children in school studied again about T. Edison; on the 12th A. Lincoln came in for«a share of remembrance. With G. Washington’s birthday on Sunday, I suppose school-teachers told the ever-present cherry-tree story again and cited the natal day of our first President. Yesterday was February 18. It Stop At The ATLANTIC SIGN ATLANTIC rJ Motor oh J. BRADLEY ATKINS Atlantic Service Station SPERRYVILLE, VA L. B. DULIN, JR. . DISTRIBUTOR Atlantic Refining Company CULPEPER, VA. - was the birthday of Alessandro Volta, Italian physicist, 1746. The gentleman invented the Voltaic pile (or else a book I read was nothing hot a passel of lies), an apparatus for developing electric currents by chemical action, and volts were named for him, I think —if not, that’s what it sounds like, anyway. Whether volts were named for ‘Volta or not, I am interested in electrical problems, too. Take, for instance, when you plug in a bridge lamp or the electric toaster and all the lights in the house fizzle and go out^ I’m interested in knowing why it happens at <my house instead of at my neighbor’s. I’d be happier if the volts—or whatever they are—and regardless of for whom they are named—worked according to the switches and push-buttons, o • © A store in Front Royal had a little push-button trouble t’other night. When closing time came, the light switches were clicked; nothing happened. The light button said “off” but the lights were still on. They burned all night. The electricians came in to find the trouble. By three o’clock in the afternoon they were still scratching their heads. They switched the light button to “off;” nothing happened. They switched them to “on;’ still nothing happened. They examined wires; they checked and re-checked. in<3w, ii me store wouiu just go back to coal-oil lamps, they would sot have -this trouble* All they would have to do would be blow down the chimney and the light would go out. I must remember to recommend that the next time I go in the store. o o o In case you don't want to wait for Sunday to celebrate a birthday of a famous person, go ahead and celebrate today. Nikolaus Koppernigk was born in Prussian Poland February 19, 1473. Under his Lavin name, Copernicus, he concocted the Copernican system of astronomy, which has the earth going around the sun, in opposition to the Ptolemaic system, which had the sun going around the earth. Since they didn't have radios and newspapers in those days, a lot of people kept on believing Ptolemy, though I was taught that Copernicus was right. But then, there was compulsory education by the time I arrived on the scene, and that may have had something to do with it. But then, again, it may not have; I heard a heated argument the other day about whether the earth was flat. A letter from an old friend is always a pleasant surprise. 1. 11 ^ .

lafc At Yanr Service By Ralph C. Strawn, Sanitarian Rappahannock Cotmty is conveniently located to two very useful state labs. One is the State Health Department Laboratory located at Luray, Virginia. The other lab is a Diagnostic Lab located at Warrenton. The laboratory at Luray is one of several laboratories operated by the Health Department as a service to the public. The head) of this lab is Geosge Robert Jones, bacteriologist, who has worked in labs since 1923, three years of which was spent as an assistant laboratory director in an Army Medical Laboratory. To give an example of the magnitude of the work handled by this lab, a total of 40,090 tests were run in 1952. These tests and examinations included milk and water examinations, rabies examinations for intestional parasites, enteric dysentery, typhoid and paratyphoid fever, and other diseases; serologies, .blood examination for ayphillis and occasionally for such diseases as malta fever, brucelosis, rabit fever, rocky mountain qtotted fever, and others.

At present one of the regular staff has returned to school fdr further study. * The greatest number of these tests are by local doctors or personnel of local health departments. 1 The other lab is the Diagnostic Lab located on the Warrenton By-Pass on Routes 15, 29 and 17 in Warrenton. This lab is under the Supervision of the Department of Agriculture and has been in operation for a very short time. This lab has facilities for the immediate examinations of all animals including cats, dogs, chickens, cattle, horses and mules. Also milk samples are examined. Persons with sick or suffering animals are invited to bring the animals by the lab. There is no charge for this service. If in doubt about the danger involved in handling the sick animal, consult jour veterinarian. This lab is operated by a staff of four under the direction of Dr. Cronin who just recently came to this country from Ireland. Paul Nichols is the able assistant to Dr. Cronin who handles a great deal of the milk and blood sample work. One secretary and a lab aid complete the staff. Several persons of this area have used the services of this tab with very satisfactory results. - Wonder what today's unborn will be saying about us a hundred years hence?

There’s Still Time Topdressing pastures now will help assure adequate grazing for livestock this summer. John F. Shoulders, associate agronomist at VPI, says pastures should be topdressed before growth starts To get maximum benefits from tepdressing’, the lime requirement should be met. If the soil in the pasture field tests below a pH of 6.0, lime is needed. Generally' tall grass-ladinu clover or tall gr-ass-alfalfa-ladino cover pastures should receive a topdressing of from 50t) to 800 pounds' per acre of 0-14-14 or ^-12-12 fertilizer per -acre.

There will usually be 'more response to nitrogen on grassy sods where legumes are disappearing from the mixture.

Smart, Area Conservations!, Soil Conservation Service. Ways and means of increasing the numbers of wild game were discussed Representatives of Game Commission stressed the fact that stocking quail was not a satisfactory means of increasing the population. Research, shows that the best method is to provide more and better food patches that are located near desirable cover. Adequate cover is necessary for birds to protect them from their predators. Food patches such as Bicolor Lespedeza are necessary to provide food during prolonged periods when the ground is covered with snow. Bicolor holds its seeds all winter, thus being accessible to the birds. The Soil Conservation Districts and the Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries cooperate in distributing seeds and plants for wildlife plantings to farmers who are ^interested in wildlife conservation. Planting materials that are available include, Bicolor plants- and seed, Sereda Lespedeza seed, and the annual quail mixture which contains a number of seeds rdishe<T by quail ami other birds. Anyone interested in establishing wildlife areas may contact C. Ennis Brown, county game warden, or your local Soil Conservationist. - “Now is the time to' prepare youy sc-d bed or plant bed for wildlife plantings," said “Bill" .Blackwell. --Be rady v, Hen the planting mn iprdk are delivered to you and save your-' seii a lot of time and labor" says "Tm-————;_—___ Value of Pasture species _ And Mixtures For Beef.

Washington D. C. As Viewed By Tour Senator, A. Willis Robertson UNITY OF EUROPE HOLDS KEY TO U. S. POLICIES A highlight of last week in Washington, for me, was the appearance of Secretary of State Dulles before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to report on his recen^ observations in Europe. I am riot a member of the committee but the subject matter of this hearing was of vital concern to me in connection wth my work on the Appropriations and Banking and Currency Committees. We must consider the appropriations for our defense establishment and for foreign aid programs. Thq possibility of war or peace also will influence the Banking and Currency Committee’s decision on whether or not economic controls will be needed in the future. We will not know until after the April meeting in Paris of the six tentative members of the European Defense Community whether or not they can agree upon the organization of a unified Europeah Army. Mr. Dulles said, however, that he was hopeful but not certain as to the carrying out of the NATO agreement proposed at the Lisbon Conference. If we fail to bring the French , and Germans together on the issue of a German army integrated with an International army, or as a separate force, the Eisenhower Administration will have to recast its foreign policy .and the.implications.of doing so-are very serious. What we do in Korea, what European forces we can assemble to block Communism in Europe and what we do with respect to the future trade between the U.S. and Europe are problems closely tied together. Much will depend on whether there is developed a political and economic unity of the European nations similar to that which the American Colonies accepted when our Constitution was adopted. When I addressed the Inter-Parliamentary Union in Bern, Switzerland last August, I pointed out that this country would never have succeeded in uniting il the Colonies had not been willing to abolish restrictions on interstate commerce and to have a uniform currency. The type of cooperation which Europe needs also is illustrated by the way the REA electrification program has been developed to raise the standard of farm life and to abolish the differential between city and rural living. Essentially the REA is a plan to help the farmers to help themselves. That is what even the poorest European nations must be encouraged to do, instead of taking more - handouts. This comparison occurred to me last week when I had the privilege of attending a meeting of representatives of all the Virginia REA Cooperatives in Washington. As one who has supported that program since it started, I was pleased to hear1 the Virginia Co-ops all are current with their loan obligations and many have substantial surpluses. It also is gratifying to know that 92.5 percent of Virginia farms have been electrified and the remainder may obtain similiar service under the REA policy of area coverage. The meaning of REA was made most vivid for me, however, by a conversation I had with a fifteen yeac old girl in the office of the home demonstration agent at Clintwood. When I met this girl, Miss Jolene Yates, on a recent trip through Southwest Virginia, I told her I was scheduled to speak at a REA meeting and asked her what the program meant to her. She promptly replied that electricity was one of her Four H Club projects and told me how electricity had improved her school building and her home and how her father used it in his workshop and for grinding grain. She referred to the time and money saved by electrical saws and other tools and the value of an electrified fence around their cow pasture. “Electricity," Miss Yates assured me, “is the farmer’s best friend.” What isn’t interesting on first reading is seldom any more so on second reading.

If you were lucky you got one a year—in the toe of your Christmas stocking*-' Today, millions enjoy healthful orange juice packed in cans. The vitamins and minerals you get this way are just one example of an everyday miracle of modem living that every Virginia family takes pretty much for granted. What brought about Ibis mirade— and many others like it? The answer is simple. It was your demand for better, more appetizing, more healthful foods of all kinds. These demands were met by American business (inducting American Can Company), devoted to bringing you better products at lower cost. Satisfying your needs has created thousands of jobs in farming, food processing and distribution. It has required a lot of research—which has produced better and more convenient food containers. It h*a increased stabilized farm income. It has even meant higher property values in some areas. In fact, it would be hard for you to go through a single day without enjoying many of the benefits that have resulted directly from the activities of the canning and can-making industries in your State. The 35,000American Can Company people are proud of their part in this story of industrial progress.
