Farm-Home Water Supply Study To Be Made By W. H. Lyne At a meeting of representatives of Jflgd mral organizations, professional agricultural workers, and representatives of the power companies in the Court House a few weeks ago it was decided that a definite county-wide program be undertaken to increase the number of homes and farms with satisfactory water systems. Reasons for selecting this program are: (1) Rappahannock has fewer pressure water systems than any other county in Northern Virginia even though her farms are well supplied with electric power or, in some cases, could have satisfactory gravity systems and (2) because a satisfactory system pays because it: saves labor, increases production, provides convenience, and improves health conditions. A survey of 108 Vtx&m showed it took an average of 773 hours each year to pump and carry water by hand. On these same farm; today electric water systems are supplying an abundance of water under procure for less than $1 per month for electricity. Thus, in labor saving alone, running, water pays. According to the 1950 Agricultural Census, there were but ninety pressure water systems in our homes. After considering the progress Rappahannock has* made in production of feed and forage crops, liveetc., the group felt the time had ome to try to do something construcive about the water supply situation. Reasons brought out during the {discussion as to WHY many of our farms and homes do not have satisfactory water systems were: 1st, Costs and 2nd, the need of more information by home and farm owners. Thus the following, procedure was decided upon: Fii*t: To complete a farm and home water supply survey by May 1 doing so through the schools, veterans, classes, home demonstration clubs, and by personally contacting families not having children in school or represented in cation*. Second: After the survey has been pleted and summarized to have a second county-wide meeting at which the following would be invited: agricultural commodity committeemen, officers qf community home demonstration dubs, ministers, electricians, bankers and other loan agency representatives, press and radio, well drillers, plumbers, waiter system dealers, etc. At this meeting the situation in regard to the need for more rural homes having the convenience of satisfactory water systems would be reviewed as well as a report of the survey given. In addition the tentative of the program will be presentred for consideration and suggestions for improvement » 'HUSKY' SCROGGINS ARRIVES HOME FROM KOREA Airman 2/c Charics G.

Breaks Leg In Fall Miss Mildred Many, 12-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Many, of “Ivy Hill,” had the misfortune to fall from a swing at her home late Monday afternoon and factured the large bone in her right leg, just above the ankle. She had presence of mind enough not to step down with the injured foot, and so saved herself a much worse break. Mildred said die broken leg was bad enough, but she hates worse to break her perfect attendance record at school. She has dispatched her father to see her teacher, Mrs. Keyser, in order that the teacher may send her lessons for her to get at home.

SUBSCRIPTION: Beaut; In the Beast ’Twas a beautiful show the firemen put on—“Night Court Revue.’ It makes no difference how much people tell you the men looked awful (they did), nor how often remarks are passed an the firemen dressed *s dancing girls, the beauty of that show was the co-operation of the three fire companies in the county. Amissville and Sperryville firemen helped the Rappahannock Fire Company at Washington make some money. Its hard to tell a friend how much you appreciate their helping you. If you use words strong enough, it often sounds “gushy,’ and that’s not what you mean. The firemen of Washington and Flint iHill appreciate tho help from their neighbors, and in order to let them know how much, they are awaiting an opportunity to repay them with similar help- « The show was a success, undeniably. Unsuspected talents bloomed forth in abundance. No one would think that a fireman could, don ruffled drawers and inform the world in song that he is “just a little petunia in an onion patch.’ It was truly amazing to see a 6-foot.plus “can-can” girl. The firemen put on a show—and they didnt spare the punches. If they can fight fire as well, then we should petition the insurance company to lower our rates. Post Office Sor?ey Requested Rep. Burr P. Harrison has been promised a “complete investigation” of mail service in t$e Sjpventh Congressional District, with a view to correcting deficiencies. Mr. Harrison had asl^ed the Post Office Department to make such a survey, with particular attention to the possibility of expanding highway post office service in the light of reduced mail train service in the district Assistant Postmaster General John C. Allen replied: “1 am pleased to inform you that in response to your request field officials of the Postal Transportation Service have been instructed to make a complete investigation of present service facilities throughout the area in question and to recommend any changes deemed necessary to correct any service deficiencies noted during the course of the survey. “Because of your apparent knowledge of th£ many factors comprising an integrated Postal Transportation Service, you will realize that quite a bit of time will be required to conduct a survey of this magnitude. However, the survey will be finished at the earliest practicable date and upon its completion, I shall be pleased to submit for your consideration and comment any changes contemplated.” MISSIONARY MEETING The Julia Hagood Graham Missionary Society of the Flint Hill Baptist church met with Mrs. Earl Edmonds Friday 13, with 8 members present The program consisted of a study class, “The West is Big.” DRIVE* U_ THEATRE On STRASBURG ROAD FRONT ROYAL j• _i FRI.-SAT., MARCH 20 - >1 RANDOLPH SCOTT : “ CARSON CITY" (Color by WarnerColor) ] Washington D. C. As Viewed By Yonr Senator, A. Willis Robertson CONTROLS AND BUDGET HEARINGS IN PROGRESS Current hearings before the Senate Banking and Currency Committee on wage and price controls indicate a wide difference of opinion between consumer groups on the one hand and producers and distributors on the other. The consumers are fearful and want stand-iby controls ready for use if there is a new threat of price inflation. Producers and distributors want to drop alt laws on this subject now and not attempt to pass new ones until another world war has started. World War II commenced for us when the Japanese struck Pearl Harbor in December 1941 but we had a peacetime draft in 1940 and were shifting to a war basis aU during 1941. out did not become law until January 1942 and was not operative until April 1952 Between the Pearl Harbor attack and the time the control law was passed, consumer prices already had gone up 12 percent. Similarly, when the Korean War started in June of 1950 it took until January 1951 to put wage and price controls into effect and in that period consumer prices had gone-up 8 per cent Actually, this figure is misleading, however, because wholesale prices had gone up in that seven months 17 percent and raw materials had advanced 46 percent. These advances made upward adjustments in retail prices necessary after controls had been imposed. Remembering these experiences, the disposition of our committee is to recommend to the Senate a bill authorizing a temporary freeze of wages and prices if a new emergency threatens to start another wave of inflation. The danger is more acute since production and consumption already are at peak levels and each per cent of rise in prides now could cost consumers 2 billion dollars. Appropriations Committees have commenced hearings on the new budget with the task divided among ten sub-committees in the House and a similar number in the Senate. I serve on the sub-committees for Independent Offices, Army Civil Functions, Labor-Federal Security and Treasury Post Office. The Independent Offices. Sub-committee handles the largest money bill of any except that for Armed Services, which handles military funds amounting to about 60 per cent of the pending budget. Last year the hearings before Senate sub-committees covered 12,300 pages of testimony. This year the hearings may be longer because of the determination of Congress to eliminate every doQar of unnecessary GRAND RE-OPENING PEL-SAT^ MARCH 20 - 21 BORIS KARLOFF RICHARD GREECE , r “THE BLACK CASTLE” Float Special mn&w. r 4~L^ Since appropriation pis must be acted on first in the House it will Be late Spring before the Semite subcommittees can do what is called “marking up” their bills.

Present membership consists of 92 farmers who have subscribed 608 cows. AH calves to be consigned to the Northern •Virginia Feeder Calf Sale (Winchester) this fall must be dehorned. For years both this and Rappahannock Angus Breeders’ feeder calf sale have required all male calves to be castrated and healed. Basing calculations on: calves from Rappahannock consigned and rejected by these sales, our cow population, the fact that birth by sexes runs about 50-50 and the variation in prices re ceived last fall, faulty castration alone'cost Rappahannock beef cattle producers around $5000. This figure does not include calves that died as result of alternation nor weight lost due to secondary infection^ etc. It merely represents the difference in price paid for staggy brutes and that . paidjQr.&tcertJ „ This trouhle seemingly steems from two primary causes: first because castration is delayed until calves are too old and secondly a lack of understanding of how to do the job. While 1953 will be the first year the Winchester sale has required dehorning the Orange sale did so last year. In talking with county agents from counties consigning to this sale as well as farmer members of the weeding committees I learned several of their consignors who had attempted the dehorning operation had calves rejected because of scurs. These mal formed horns are frequently harder to remove than those formed naturally and besides who wants to experience having a nice calf rejected by the weeding committee because it has a scur. - Since many farmers do these jobs themselves and because of the above, our county Livestock Committee requested that dehoming and castrating demonstrations be held early this spring. These demonstrations will be held the afternoon of March 31 and the morning ahd afternoon of April 1 all of which will be in different seotions of the county: C C. Mast of the VPI Extension Animal Husbandry staff will demonstrate the use of various types of equipment now being used. In addition he will lead a general discussion on beef cattle production and management ilustrated through the use of colored slides, at the Court House at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday evening March 31. Mr. Mast has not only been closely associated with the beef cattle fife dtlstry for a number of years but it» addition is a producer himself. Alt cattle producers are. urged to take advantage of this opportunity and tobe on the look out for announcements * of when and where the deriionstrations will be held.
