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 post office at Washington, Virginia SUBSCRIPTION: (in advance)_$2.00 a year The Economy Drive By George Peck (EDITOR'S NOTE : George Peck is Chairman of the Board of the National Labor-Management Foundation and Executive Editor of its official publication, PARTNERS.) Liu Tsung Yuan, a Chinese of the early Ninth Century, recorded for posterity a story that every one of our elected representatives’ (federal, o state and municipal) should read and reread. Here it is as told by Yuan and translated into English by H. A. Giles. “In the wilds of Hu Kuang there is an extraordinary kind of snake, having a black body with white rings. Deadly fatal, even to the grass and trees it may chance to touch; in man, its bite is absolutely incurabler YcHf caught and prepared, when dry, in the form of cakes, the flesh of this snake Will soothe excitement, heal leprous sores, remove sloughing flesh and expel evil spirits. And so it came about that the court physician, acting under Imperial orders, exacted from each family a return of two of these snakes every year; but as few persons were able to comply with the demand, it was subsequently made known that the return of snakes was to be considered in lieu of the usual taxes. There upon there ensued a general stampede among the people of those parts. "However, there was one man whose family had lived there for . three generations; and from him I obtained the following information: 'My grandfather lost his life in snake catching. So did my father. And during the twelve years that I have been engaged in the same way, death has several times come very near to me.' "He was deeply moved during this . u..._k_t _i t.:_ it t should state his sad case to the authorities and apply for him to be allowed to pay taxes in the regular manner, he burst into tears and said : 'Atlas! sir, you would take away my means of livelihood altogether. The misery of this state is as nothing .‘ when compared with the misery of that. Formerly, under the ordinary ’ conditions of life, we suffered greatly; but fox* the past three generations we have been settled in this district, • now some sixty years since. During that period my fellow villagers have become more and more impoverished Their substance has been devoured and in beggary they have gone weeping and wailing away. Exposed to the inclemency of wind and raid, enduring heat and cold, they have fled from the cruel scourge; in most cases to die. Of those families which were here in my grandfather's time there remains not more than one in ten; of those here in my father's .time, Hot more than two or three; and of those •till here in my own time, not more than four or five. They are all dead or gone elsewhere; while we, the snake-catchers, alone survive. '“Harsh tyrants sweep down upon us and throw everybody and everything, even to the brute beasts, into paroxysms of terror and disorder. But I get up in the morning and look into the jar where my snakes are kept; and if they are still there, I lie down at night in peace. At the appointed time I take care that they are fit to he handed in; and when that is done I retire to enjoy the produce of Washington D. C. As Viewed By Tour Senator, A. Willis Robertson INTERNATIONAL ASPECTS OF CONTROLS PROBLEM This week the Banking and Currency Committee tackled the difficult question of what to do about economic controls. The schedule of our hearings, which probably will continue for several week, called for preliminary testimony from government officials on the economic problems facing the nation. Next we will get the opinions of businessmen, labor organization, trade associations and other private individuals or groups and finally we will hear from federal officials who will present the Administration’s official position on the subject. It Ift generally agreed that under present conditions there is no need for continuing active wage and price controls or even many of the material and production controls due to expire in June. The question is, however, whether or not we should put on the books a new stand-by control law^that could be used quickly in an my farm and complete the allotted span of my existence. Only twice a year I have to risk my life. The rest is peaceful enodgh and not to be compared with the daily round of annoyance which falls to the share of my fellow villagers. And even though I were to die now in this employ, I should still have outlived almost all of my contemporaries. Can I then complain ?’ “The story gave me food for much sad reflection. I have always doubted the saying of Confucius that 'bad government is worse than a tiger/ but now I feel its truth. Alasl who would think that a tax-collector is more venomous than a snake?” What Liu Tsung Yuan said eleven hundred years ago i* just as true today. It always has been and ever will be, an immutable law of economics that when governments squander the substance of the people, thereby necessitating the levying of backbreaking taxes, the people come to abhor those taxes more than the risk of death itself. Stop Aft The ATLANTIC SIGN 0 J. BRADLEY ATKINS Atlantic Service Station SPERRYVILLE, VA. L B. DULIN, JR. DISTIIIBUTOK emergency. Before our hearings began we were advised that the President would not ask for stand-by controls but that he would accept such law if pj^sed by the Congress. I always have disliked the principle of government interference with private business but I have recognized the. necessity for certain artificial restrictions during a war emergency. None of us can afford the runaway inflation which war-time shortages of consumer goods tend to cause or the subsequent deflation which follows efforts to get our economy back to normal levels. Consequently, I favored the prompt application of economic controls after war . broke nut in KorM amt that nih#n the Congress gave authority to President Truman he faifbd t» exercise it until several months later after serious inflation was under way. One reason the controls then imposed were not more effective was that prices already were so badly out ©f balance that no equitable way could be found to adjust them without hurting innocent businessmen along witfi the comparatively few profiteers who had tried to take selfish advantage of a national emergency. ^ There are two definite reasons for considering stand-by control legislation now T O) We do not know to what extent fighting in Korea will be stepped up, requiring increased military supplies which would put a new inflationary strain on our civilian economy. (2) We do not know at this time how far the eleven nations >f Europe which joined us in signing* the Atlantic Pact will go in forming a political, economic and military'union that is the key to our foreign policy. Our allies not only have been dragging their feet on the European program but are giving no help in solving the Korean problem. They are unwilling to furnish additional troops for service in Korea themselves and have opposed suggestions to improve Hie situation of our combat troops who have caried the brunt of the fighting If we are forced to continue to rely almost entirely on our own efforts, the strain on our economy naturally will be’ much greater than if we could count on international forces to block communism in Europe and to meet new threats n other quarters. The future of our economy also will be influenced by our foreigpi trade policies. We have on the one hand such suggestions as that i Henry Ford II that we do away with protective tariffs and on the other such proposals as the one to ban meat imports to protect our cattle raisers. Ford's proposal could not be carried out, except on a very long range basis without serious injury to industries which have grown up depending on a measure of protection Pitts Park THEATRE THUR., FEB. 26 PETER LAWFORD JANE GREER —1» — “You For Me” FRI. - SAT., FEB. 27 - 28 CORNEL WILDE TERESA WRIGHT — to — “California Conquest” (Color by Technicolor) . ... 1 » SUN. - MON. - TUES.

At for meat I looked into this matter last week and learned that we received from other nations in 1952 only about three-fourths as much beef •and veal as we did in 1951 and that our total meat imports last year were only about four percent of the volume of our domestic production. Our domestic production in 1952, however, was rime per cent higher than in 1951. In the past our farmers have found they are better off enjoying ninety-six percent of a good market than one hundred per cent of a poor one. Horse lovers and dog lovers have been insulted. Someone came in with a page of statistcis proving that the intelligence of domesticated animals ran in the following order: first, pig; second, dog; and third, horse. Since the information was received the arguments have run hot and heavy, **1 dont believe itP ia the genual, indignant reply. “You can teach a horse and e dog; they are smart; they return affection; they can find their way home; they know their masters . . . And so on go the arguments. The only defense of the statistics 1st maybe the pig is smarter. He has more sense, than to learn too much. He sees to it that his stomach is full and that there's a nice, convenient mud-hole to wallow in, and his life is complete. Why should be answer some masters beck and call? The idea still doesn't sit well. Try to get some people in this county to admit that a hog has more sense than their horse; you will have trouble, I’ll bet. Insinuate that some filthy hog has more sense than my dog, and Til bristle down the back equal to the pooch when a cat comes in view..

WALRUS'— (Continued from page 2) It’s comforting to realize that spring is near, Up in New York state, so tjie papers say, at a training field the bandmaster has invented an anti-freeze to put in the valves of musical instruments so the band can still toot even in freezing weather. Some discouraging neighbor keeps reminding that he has seen some terrible snows in March, but spring is in the air and no amount of ill tidings can -ehilL the iising~aap» ^ Let every Cassandra cry her worst; we are getting tired of winter and wishing for spring, so we heed not her foul predictions. o o o Washington’s scenic lady-mayor was in attendance at a Chamber of Commerce banquet in a neighboring town recently. As she was introduced as one of the guests, the toastmaster said, “Would you mind standing again. I want our mayor to stand up at the same time. Look at the contrast!” It just so happened that the mayor of the town is as bald as a peeled onion. The occasion turned his face a couple of shades redder, but he was a good sport—he stood up. One of his neighbors said: to him, “Look, Mayor, if you don’t want to stand up by that other mayor, get out of the way, there are plenty here who would.” The banks and post offices say they don’t fret another of those closed days until May 30. Monday was a holiday because of what Mr. Allie Slaughter referred to as • “George Birthington’s Washday.” Some of us never have become quite used to a holiday falling on Monday if the regular holiday dates on Sunday. The custom can’t be so very old, for some of us can well remember when such was not the case. If a holiday came on Sunday, then Monday was a working day. Here some years ago there Was talk of placing every holiday on the Friday after its date, thereby giving a week-fend holiday from Thursday night to Monday morning for every occasion.

WHAT AOE RIECKLE5 ?* Answer to Question No. 1: Though eye accidents in children have been reduced 25 per cent there are still approximately 85,000 a year in the United States. These tragedies are largely avoidable. It is the responsibility of parents to protect their children when they are infants and to teach them precautions which they must take themselves in later years. Answer to Question No. 2: Post-nasal drip is a reasonably common condition, and consists of coughing up a certain amount of material from the throat, that has dripped there from the back of die nose. It is worse, as a rule, in the early morning, and it can produce varying grades of discomfort, depending on the amount of the drip. It can even lead to bad breath, or nausea and vomiting. The only way to cure this condition is to find the cause. Consult your physician, who will study your case, and advise treatment. Answer to Question No. 3: Freckles are caused by a collection of pigment in local areas of the skin, and made more pronounced by sunlight. Though some people consider them disfiguring,, freckles are definitely harmless. This condition is often a family trait. It occurs most frequently inblondes and red-headea people.

Farmers say they have more time to scarify and disk old pastures now than they will have in March. Good lush, legume pastures are the foundation of any grassland program. They not only have a much greater animal carrying capacity than Blue Grass pastures but they provide the most economical form of animal nutrition. The animals harvest the Crop. Once pasture is established, outside of regular fertilization and mowing, avnanaa 10 invnlrroJ Among those renovating large pasture areas this month are Hazel mere. Farm, Reva; Ralph Ingersol, Castleton; Dick iBaridon, Estes; K. H. Quasebarth, Woodville; and Ray T. Cannon, Castleton. A system of rotational grazing will be established on all of the farms. Four to eight boundaries will be provided to facilitate moving cattle from one field to another every week, the time depending on the number of cattle in the herd and the size of the field. Agricultural research indicates that rotation grazing makes for better pasture utilization as well as more animal gains and more production. The ‘ Culpeper Soil Conservation District is now receiving requests from farmers for wildlife seeds and plants to establish food patches. Planting materials are available at the Culpeper office of the Soil Conservation Service. Farmers are encouraged to prepare their seed and plant beds NOW for the perennial plantings, such as Bicolor and Serecia Lespedezas. Tuesday, March 1 O’CLOCK P.M.

PAUL MILLER Sales Representative HAVE YOU SEEN THE NEW 53 MODEL FORD TRACTOR With many advanced features New on display at Browning Tractor Sc Equipment Co. Orange Rood — Culpeper 2-5-2tc ■' ‘ ■" ■ Failure To Register Is Violation Of Law ' Calling . attention to the fact that failure to register is a violation of law and makes the delinquent liable to penalty, A. C. Latham, Sr., Rappahannock County, Washington, Virginia, today outlined registration requirements under the Universal Military Training and Service Act, as amended, which he said he believed were not thoroughly understood by all of the general public. “The obligation to register,” Mr. Latham said, “is a continuing obligation and must be fulfilled. The obligation to register is imposed by the act on every male citizen and every other mqle person in the United Kptu/ppn iftiA OOAfl 1ft on/1 % with the general exception of members of the Armed Forces on active duty and certain aliens.” The youyg man who 1 becomes 18 is required to register at' a board office within five days ;< r rt the date of his 18th* birthday. ,|/ Latham explained, but if he haj *7 to be away from home he. need not return; he may register at the nearest local board convenieent to him and the record will be sent to the local board having jurisdiction, even though it is in another state. If he is in a foreign country when he becomes 18 he registers with any United States diplomatic or consular office. After he registers, it is mandatory that a registrant keep his local board informed of any change m his address or change in statin, the chairman pointed out. This applies after he becomes 26 as vyell as before. Registrants, generally speaking, who are deferred after June 19, 1951, are liable until they are 3$. ,?v- /'p. ■ Mr Latham said he could not overemphasize the importance of the registrant giving his permanent home address as his place of residence when he 'registres at a board away from 'home, since the place of residence which he gives when registering determines the local board which will always have jurisdiction over him. “Any person who changes from a status which did not require his registration to a status which does require it must register promptly to <be within the law. The maKunom penalty for violation of aay of the provisions of the Selective Service Law," Mr. Latham pointed out, “is five years in prison or a fine of $1<MXX) or both.” IN MEMORIAM In loving remembrance ot our dear mother, Bessie C o p p a g e Burke, who passed from this life three years ago — February 26, 1660.
