I U ' -- VOLUME 4—NUMBER 18 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY MORNING, MARCH 5, 1863 $2.00 PER YEAS 65-cent Increase in Count; Levy Marked By Proposed Budget In an Atmosphere about as dejected as a dentist's waiting room, the Board of Supervisors in meeting Wednesday morning authorized the publishing of the proposed county budget for 1953, marking i an increase over 1952’s levy of 5 *2.50 per *100, to *3.15 per *100. The 65-cent increase was expected, but was received with all the welcome of a boil on the end of the nose. Apru 6 was set as the •*" ./greeting to accept the budY >fjr public hearing. I jjjpervisom, one by one, plieO**' jstions as to whether this or that nem could be cut; could expenses be pulled down even a little here or there; and the answer was always the same. If the extra $1'50 didn’t go to the health department, then the department would hsva to be abandoned. The schools couldn’t run on a penny less. _ Every place that could be cut, was Cut. The decrease in valuation of county property was the whole answer. There is less to tax, and so taxes ar* higher; expenses are I more, so -more money is neded. kj. 0, uoioiron, resident engineer, appeared before the board in • discussion of some road probW. Fletcher presented a point for discussion in the present county regulation concerning own. era' liability for stock destroying crops on neighbors’ property. The (over which the county supervisors have no authority), was: whether it was right to hold a man liable for damage by hfe.ftock if there la no effort initiated by the owner and/or the neighbor to construct proper fences.

Butler of Supply, Va. Eileenmere 1029th is a son of Eileenmere 000th, International Grand Champion, owned by J.

One of the latest is Eileen* mere 1082nd, the bull who today is the senior herd sire in the Ankony herd, Rhinebeck, N.Y. The 1032nd** in turn sired the 1052 Internation Grand Champion bull, Ankonian 3216, owned by Cochran Farm, North Salem, N. Y. It is also interesting to note that Blackcap Tolan breeding shows strongly in the top side of the pedigree. This breeding was made famous by Blackcap Tolan, 35th who was International Grand Champion female three consecutive years. :■ j;.** Kinlock Blackbird 12th, the dam, is sired by Whitney bandolier who was supreme champion and top selling bull at the Eastern Regional Show and Sale, Trenton, N.J., in 1046. Ha was sired by Ravenswood Bandolier 12th (known as the ‘burned back* bull) who was the bull that made the C. V. Whiteney herd, Westbury Long Island, N. Y., so famous. Wintonian 6th, shre of the ‘burned back* bull, is the great breeding bull owned by Annandale Farm, Upperville, who sired the supreme champion and top selling animal at the Spotlight Sale, Warrenton, a few years ago. Another individual showing in the pedigree is Prince Eston Quality who sold for 610,600 when cattlt were not bringing high prices. A half brother to the new Lee. way Farm bull by the same sire recently sold at Mr .and Mrs. Butler’s sale at |40,000 to Ash Grove Farm,, New Hope, Pa., and a daughter by this bull was supreme champion at the 1052 Spotlight Sale, Warrenton, selling at 65000.

J. Rodes Brown was also elected chairman of the weeding committee and Mr. Yates was elected chairman of die sale committee. Members present indicated that they would have in the neighborhood of 800 calves for this year’s sales. Should those not present consign their usual number of calves, this fall sale could easily mean an offering of 1100 or 1200 head, which of course would be the largest in the history of this association. K. C. Williamson, association extension animal husbandry of VPI, reported on 1952 sales, average for Virginia and neighboring states which showed price received from Virginia calves compared most favorably. Regarding outlook for 1953 economist predict about 5% reduction in prices received last fall, should have a normal season. On the other hand, should we have another drought, which would cause abnormal marketing, the price drop touid Ix^ quite serious.

RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia_ DIAL WASHINGTON 2851 LUCY CATHERINE BOWIE .... Publisher Entered as second-class mail matter at the post office at Washington, Virginia SUBSCRIPTION: (in advance) ..... $2.00 a'year Those Shysters Are Here Again Word has come around that a bunch of shyster septic-tank cleaners have been into the county again. They’re a smooth crowd of workers. They fill the customer with oily words of all the references they have (they never can present any papers from a health officer) and they even resort to threats about how the health department 'Will drag you off to jail before sundown. Charges are exhorbitant. These so-called septic tank cleaners manage to clean the pocketbook. The cash they keep; the contents of the septic tank they dump on the property of some neighbor who finds it out later — and is mad enough to bite ten-penny nails in two! It might be a good idea to have the county license bona fide septic tank cleaners. Then, when a group approaches, the farmer (it’s usually the farm wife), can ask to see the license signed by a county officer. The safest protection at present is to tell all septic tank cleaners 'when they arrive at your door: “Wait until I call the local health officer. If he thinks this workshould be done, then I’ll call you. Just give me your name and telephone number.” If they are a reputable company,4 they will give a name and telephone; and then the health officer will let you know if work is necessary on the septic tank. Every Precaution Needed The firemen of the three companies in the county are always ready, willing, and able to help when fire breaks out, but again the reminder is sent out to farm: today’s farm has all the fire hazards of a machine shop, factory, gasoline station, and a paint shop combined! . The mechanized farm of today makes wide use of gasoline operated machinery and electrical equipment, all of which have created many new fire hazards that must be safeguarded against by the farmer and farm workers. “Clean-up time” will be a spring word soon of the housewife, but it should be also a word in the consciousness of the farmer. Ejjre hazards should be cleaned out; not just re-stacked or re-arranged. The firemen will come the minute they are needed, but often they must arrive on the scene to find that the farmer has called them too late; that he had a perfect tinder-box ready for a fire to WASHINGTON THEATRE Show*s 7:15 and 9:00 P.M.

Willis Robertson INFLATION POSSIBILITY MUST NOT BE IGNORED Testimony given the Senate Banking and Currency Committee last week by members of the President's Cabinet and the Director of the Budget prompted me to join with eleven other members of the committee in sponsoring a stand-by wage and price control bill. This bill would permit either the President or the Congress, in ait emergency, to freeze wages and prices for a ninety-day period. It would protect us from the kind of inflation which started after the outbreak of war in Korea and threatened to reach serious proportions* before a law could be passed to deal with it. The Secretary of State told us that our nation is now under the heaviest military pressure which has existed since the Korean war began in June 1950 and that this pressure probably will continue for some years because the communists hope they can make our economy crack under the strain of supporting defense forces. The Director of the Budget indicated we would have a deficit for 'this fiscal year and that balancing the budget for the fiscal year starting next June will be extremely difficult if the Treasury suffers a tax cut start and flames have got beyond control before the firemen can •Thrive. Sych a situatipn is discouraging. Firemen are sincere in their work. They hate to see fire beat them. Nothing rewards them for their hard work like the satisfaction of knowing they have helped save a man’s barn or his home. The other side of the picture is a pitiful sight: grown men have been seen to sit in dejection (some times in tears) and watch fire destroy a home while they are helpless.. “Help your firemen” is the plea that comes from the members of the three companies in the county. Help yourself and help your firemen by cleaning out fire hazards around the farm. Stop At The ATLANTIC SIGN J. BRADLEY ATKINS Atlantic Service Station SPERRYVILLE, VA. L. B. DULIN, JR. DISTRIBUTOR Atlantic Refining Company CULPEPER, VA. of 2. 5 billions dollars. So long as we have continuing heavy defense spending and an unbalanced budget, we cannot afford to assume that there is no danger of inflation which will farther reduce the value of our already chrunlcen dollar. The budget proposed by President Truman for the 1954 fiscal year estimated spending at 9.9 billion dollars that period. If the Congress succeeds in cutting an average of 10 percent from the 78.6 billion dollars recommended * for spending, there still would be a deficit of around two billion. Cutting the budget an average of ten percent will be difficult. We can’t cut the amount required for interest on the 500 million dollars for public roads which already hhas been allocated to the states and the amount required for farm pricfe supports. Since the total of non-military domestic items in the budget is only amnnH 10 hillinn Hollars, a larire nor <ion of spending cuts to balance the budget must be taken out of military, programs. In that we are handicapped |)y the fact that Congress has authorized government agencies, primarily the Department of Defense, to enter into long-range contracts which can’t well be canceled. For example. it takes five years to build a Forrestal type airplane carrier at a cost of 200 million dollars. Once it is started, we cannot profitably cancel the authorization. If Secretary of State Dulles is right in saying that the threat to our ■security is the greatest in our history we cannot afford to cut our military establishment in a manner that will cripple its effectiveness. But, Cabinet of the top business brains in the nation, the Administration should be able to plan a military budget within the framework of a sound domestic economy. The preservation of our freedom will involve sacrifice but our ancestors sacrificed far more in winning it. fiawiinauvttt jmiiimiiiiimm M^rch should surely go out like a lamb—if coming in like a lion has anything to do "with it. o o o IA lot gets written, printed, and said about “economy” but, so far, it's been difficult to find anyone who really wants it.
