Wildcat Attacks; Two Are Injured Ernest Nicholson and Mrs. Will Stevens Jenkins have painful reminders of vicious attacks by a wildcat late Monday night and early Tuesday morning. Ernest Nicholson, some time during the night Monday, he doesn't know exactly what time, thought he heard something after the pigs. When he went out to investigate, he found nothing, but on his way back to* the house he felt a large animal jump on his back. He fought the animal, which bit him viciously through the arm and scratched him on the face and about the legs. He fought the animal off, but never got a good look at it in the dark. Mr. Nicholson was treated by Dr. Snead early Tuesday morning and the size of the bites and cuts testified to the fact that a large animal had attacked him. Mrs. Will Stevens Jenkins was attacked early Tuesday morning as she was about her duties at her farm home. She fought off the large cat, and when she succeeded in throwing the animal away from her into the road, Mr. Jenkins shot it Dr. Quaintance, at Slate Mills, reported that Mrs. Jenkins’s face had pieces of flesh bit out, as well as long gashes. He stated that it took about an hour and a half to repair the damage and sew up the torn flesh. The doctor advised Mr. Jenkins to take the animal immediately to Luray and have tests made for rabies. Mr. Jenkins had the cat in the back of the truck. The Nichdlson home and the Jenkins-home are about six miles apart, located on the road through from F. T. Valley to Jenkins Hollow. This distance would be easy moving for a cat of the siae lolled by Mr. Jenkins, and k is assumed that die one wildcat did both jobs of attacking. The D. Lyle Millers Jr. Elected To National Angus Association Mr. and Mrs. D. Lyle Miller Jr., of Washington, have been elected to membership in the American Abrdeen Anbus Breeders’ Association at Chicago, announces Secretary Frank Richards. Mr. and Mrs. Miller were among the three purebred Aberdeen-Angus breeders elected from Virginia during the past month to membership in the organization. Evangelist To Speak At Mt.

RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At Washington, Rappahannock County Virginia IHAL WASHINGTON 2861 Publisher LUCY CATHERINE BOWIE Entered as second-class mail matter at the post office at Washington, Virginia SUBSCRIPTION: (in advance) Higher Taxes It will be an unhappy meeting Monday, April 6, When the people of the county appear at the Courthouse to discuss the proposed increase in county tax levy. A proposed jump from last year’s $2.50 per hundred to $3.15 for the coming year is giving serious thought to the taxpayers in the county. When paying taxes for one year begins to pinch on the pocketbook, a proposed increase brings thoughts bordering on desperation. There will be no pleasure to complain. No one will enjoy saying that he can't afford to raise sufficient money to see that the children of the school have the best in educational facilities. No resident of Rappahannock will relish the job of standing up and telling the Board of Supervisors that the budget wiH have to be cut. Everyone knows that the board members hunted long and hard for some place * to cut expenses—and they couldn’t find it Some people seem to think that there is no answer, and that the taxes will have to go up. After all, taxes have never been placed in a popularity contest, and no one expects the Monday meeting to be a picnic. The situation promises to be an unhappy one. Washington D. C. As Viewed By Your Senator, A. Willis Robertson FEDERAL AID TO SCHOOLS HAS STRINGS ATTACHED A press release from the White House last week disclosed that by next September the Department of Defense expects to have established "Complete integration” of the schools it operates cm federal property. That means there will be no racial segregation in these schools, including the ones located at Dahlgren, Quantico and Chincoteague, Virginia. The announcement also stated that there were ‘complications” in the case of other schools winch are operated by state authorities on federally owned property (apparently referring to the conflict between the federal policy and state laws requiring segregation) and that if these cannot be removed by conference, "other arrangements in these instances will be considered.” Virginia schools in this classification are at Fort Bel THURS., APRIL 2 JOHNNY WEISMULLER — in — JUNGLE MANHUNT FRI.-SAT., APRIL 3-4 ROBERT RYAN JULIA ADAMS — in — “HORIZONS WEST* (In Technicolor) SUN.JMON., APRIL DAVID WAYNE On STRASBURG ROAD FRONT ROYAL voir and Langley Field In his press conference a week earlier, however, President Eisenhower frankly stated that he could see no excuse for any racial discrimmination in any school which received federal funds for its support. To realize what this ultimately may mean to Virginia, it must be remembered that last year 25 counties in Virginia received nearly $3,000,000 under terms of Public Law 874 which provides federal funds for operating expenses of schools which are abnormally burdened because of defense establishments in their areas. Participating in this program were the schools of Accomack, Arlington, Elizabeth City, Fairfax, King George James City, Norfolk, Nottoway, Prince George, Prince William, Princess Anne, Pulaski, Stafford, Warwick and York Counties and the cities of Alexandria, Falls Church, Fredericksburg, Hopewell, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Radford, South Norfolk, Virginia Beach and Williamsburg. The amount of aid ranged from 1.8 per cent of the total cost of operation for Williamsburg up to 21.5 percent for Portsmouth. In addition, 21 of these same areas are eligible to receive up to a total of around $30 million of federal funds for school construction and they were paid for this purpose in 1951 and 1952 more than $8 million. This current development is right in line with predictions .1 made in 1948 when I explained to the Senate why I had opposed the Taft bill for federal aid to education.. 1 said then the states could not get the kind of aid Senator Taft proposed without federal control that ultimately would involve the question of segregation. I knew it was an unpopular thing to vote against this bill, because everyone recognized the need of improving our educational system, but I said I felt Mthe long range danger of that plan outweighed the advantage my Senate would immediately enjoy PITTS On Brandy Road ( Rt. 15) li miles North of CULPEPER 2 SHOWS NIGHTLY 7:30 * 9:30 A CAR FULL for $1.00 Pins: 20c tax . . .

The Deputy Secretary of Defense testifying later in the week before our Banking and Currency Committee said he estimated defense spending for the current fiscal year at $44 (billion. The Truman budget estimated it for the next fiscal year at $46 billion. There have been rumors to the effect that the new Secretary of Defense hasn’t found even $2 billion of cuts that can be made in that budget. But the Truman budget must be cut nearly $10 billion in order to be balanced and the bulk of that must come from the military and foreign aid because the military alone is sixty per cent and there are numerous domestic items such as interest on the public debt, pensions, etc., that can’t be cut.

"I just hate slippy weather!” Well, my fair friend, you’re beginning early enough in the month with your complaints. The month has hardly begun, and you’ve got a full four more weeks to efidure it. If you don’t like rain, there are certain portions along the coast'of Peru, areas in northern Chile, and much of western China where you won’t be “bothered with April showers.

If you go there to live, the real estate agents will guarantee that no one will tell you cheerfully, “April showers bring May flowers.” * o o o Yesterday was “All Fool's Day” (which, I am well aware, should have been a holiday for most of us) and the usual season for pranks. Why is there an April Fool Prank Day? An explanation has defied search. There is a probability that it came from France in the 16th century, when the calendar was corrected and the New Year was pushed back from the last of March to the first of January. When New Years Day came during the last week of March the celebrations lasted several days ending on April first. When the New Year was changed some people pretended to have New Year celebrations on the old date for the purpose of making fools of the people who had forgotten the change of the date. In France a person who was fooled is called an “April Fish” because an April Fish is a very young fish and is so easily caught. In Scotland the April Fools are called “April Gowks.” A gowk is a silly bird that doesn't know enough to build a nest for itself. In India a fool is called “Huli Fool.” There is a festival called the Feast of Htrii at which the natives make merry at the expense of their friends. The custom of sending anyone on a useless errand on April first has been thought to be a burlesque of the sending of Christ from Annas to Caraphas add from Pilate to Herod, because during the Middle Ages scenes from the life of Christ were in a Miracle play which was given every year about April first It isn’t likely that there is any other reason for our April Fool's Day besides the changing of the date of the New Year. All the customs which sprang up when the date was altered, were likely combined with relics of some old festival which had come down from the ages before the time of Christ.
