Lyne I County Agent | MH«MmmiMimiminaimnanaaMai«iMMMiMiniMMMMuuiJ In response to a recent inquiry regarding our chance status of getting a soil survey underway in Rappahannock in 1953 comes the following from Dr. S. S. Obenshain: “Rappahannock is close to our heart, so far as our interests are concerned right now.' I am sorry there is still nothing definite we can say. The rumor is correct in that we have been trying to work to where we can send a man inot Rappahannock by October 1. There are quite a few hurdles that we have not yet gotten over. ... As soon as anything can be cleared, I assure you we will let you know, but we do not want to build false hope that would then have to be crushed.” Mr. Parmer, if you are interested in getting a soil survey in Rappahannock and apparently a good many of you are, my advice is to do what you can towards keeping Rappahannock close to Dr. Sam’s heart. Maybe another letter will help. Sam’s address— simply Blacksburg, Va. H B. Wood, Jock Brown, Jackie Rutherford and yours truly, took in pants of the Bee Keepers Short Course held recently at Winchester. Much to our disappointment we learned, most of all, that the Short Course was designed for those of the Ph.D. class of Bee Husbandry and not for those in the primary grades as we. So much about the bee business is relative and consequently forgive me if the following is a bit lazy—‘tis to me too. To be successful with bees you must “work them,” to prevent from swarming or not loose a good part of your working force “shake them up”; always “keep about two weeks ahead” of your bees. I understand what is meant by working a garden, I dare not ‘shake 'em up' cause they sting me any how. and how can you keep ahead if you don’t know where they are? Hope this sounds as foreign to some of you as it does me ‘cause I like company. On the other hand if it doesn’t come to rescue at least of Jock, H. B., Jackie and one Bill Lyne. Bees do intrigue me. I know for sure: how good honey is; that bees are most essential to most type of farming; that some bee keepers are making juicey incomes from bees while others are makiqg; near nothing; that a great opportunity awaits someone here in Rappahannock who has “bee know how” Anyone care to venture a guess what such a man would be worth to the county? I’ll say he could easily make $5-$10,000 annual income. Don’t let those figures stagger you. There’s a man within 100 miles of us doing far better than that for himself through bees. Birth Announcement Mr. and Mrs. Vernon D. Henderson of Arlington have announced the birth of a son, Vernon Douglas, Jr.,.born June 30 at Garfield Hospital, Washington, D. C. Mrs. Henderson is the former Miss Lolita Dennis.

APPLE JUICE GETTING "SCARCE” According to reports from Blue Ridge Fruit Growers Co-op., apple juice is getting “scarce.” The popular demand has quickly eaten up thq ample supply.

C., Mrs. Dolly Swift of Arlington and Mrs. Virginia Ash of McLane. Small Turn-Out at Polls Compared to the 1137-voters that cast their ballots in the fall election, last Tuesday’s total of 432 voters was a pitiful showing. Following the rest of the state, Rappahannock showed a sweeping majority for Thomas B. Stanley. ’Stephens, Almond, and Aldhizer likewise, polled a comfortable vote. With 320 votes, Tom Frost, <the only candidate* for the House of Delegates, received a complimentary vote, since usually, when there is no opposition, ‘people do not feel the necessity in casting a ballot.

PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At Washington, Rappahannock County Virginia DIAL WASHINGTON 2851 Entered as second-class mail matter at the post office at Washington, Virginia $2.00 a year SUBSCRIPTION: (in advance) Washington D. C. is Viewed By Tonr Senator, A. Wilis Robertson US. DEFENSE NEEDS SHOULD BE PUT FIRST This week our Senate Appropriations Committee should complete action on one and perhaps two of the most controversial appropriation bills—the Defense Department and the Mutual Security Administration. ! The House already has passed the Defense Department bill, following the recommendation of President Eisenhower to cut Air Force funds $5 billion below the amount proposed in the Truman budget but reducing the overall total for the bill $1,286 million below what President Eisenhower said was the essential minimum. * The President sent a letter to House leaders assuring them that the revised budget did not involve elimination of any combat planes but this was contradicted by a speech made in the Senate on July 6 by former Sec. of the Air Force Symington who said there would be a cut of 200 in the number of our latest and best bomber, the B-47. The Mutual Security authorization bil passed by the House would allow approximately $5 billion to be appropriated in the 1954 fiscal year and the Senate increased this amount to $5.3 billion. President Eisenhower had recommended $5,470 million. The bill authorized the President to withold one billion dollars of the funds until the nations of Western Europe carried out their promises to organize a defense community with a unified military' force. I have been concerned by the fact that under the proposed Mutual Security program we would provide nearly (three quarters of a billion dollars to build up the French Air Force while at the same time we would, according to the statement of Senator Symington, be making a substantial cut in the combat strength of our own Air Force. This seemed questionable procedure in view of the fact that the new Premier of France does not. have a working majority in the Parliament and the Communist Party is the strongest single party in France. The political situation in Italy also raises doubts as to whether or not that nation will fulfill the promises made in May of 1951 to join the Europearf Defense Community The Defense and Mutual Security appropriations both are parts of the same overall defense plan and must Pitts Park THEATRE Front Royal, Virginia THUiRS.-FRI.-SAT JULY 16 - 17 - 18 — 3 DAYS — TYRONE POWER —in— MPONY SOLDIER” (In Technicolor) SUN.-MON, JULY 19 - 20 RIOHABD WIDMARK JOANNE DRU AUDREY TOTTER — in — “MY PAL GUS” TUES.-WED.-THURS. —3 DAYS — JULY 21 - 22 - 23 JOHN PHILIP SOUSA’S Greatest Musical Show!

The conclusion I reached was that until the threat of Communist aggression is definitely relaxed by deeds rather than words we would hazard our own security by cutting the combat planes of our Air Force below the level which all military leaders agreed a year ago was needed for our safety. I decided, therefore, to advocate cutting the appropriation for Mutual Security one billion dollars below the total authorized and adding that amount to the appropriation for out1 own Air Force, to be used for rapid construction of bombers and fighter planes. This decision was reinforced by the knowledge that 1he Mutual Security Agency is starting this year with art unexpended balance of $10 billion, of which $1.5 billion has not been obligated. i ‘The Time Hob Come/ | the Walrus said . . . Tuesday, July 14, was election day; that’s important, but there will be other election days. The real importance of July 14 is that it is the birthday anniversary of the typewriter. The first efficient model of the typewriter was patented July 14, 1886. Since that time girls have been able to break their glamorously long fingernails and drive executives crazy with bad spelling. It is now possible to read doctor’s instructions—even if you can’t read their signatures—since the little peck-machine has come into use. There are innumerable arguments pro and con the typewriter. We are told that no one is taught to write any more; old records show samples of fine Spencerian script and such hand-writing is now considered a lost art. Some conversationally inclined persons maintain that the day will soon be here when little first-graders in school will be taught to operate a typewriter instead of laboriously printing their letters. Predicting even say that future generations will not know how to write. I’m no authority. I know the typewriter is a boon to lazy people; it's so much easier to type than to write. Besides, there’s less danger of “writer’s cramp.” Regardless of pros and cons, I’m thankful that some fellow patented On STRASBURG ROAD THURS.-FRI., JULY 16-17 JOAN FONTAINE JOSEPH COTTEN SEPTEMBER AFFAIR — AND — PAT O’BRIEN OKINAWA SATURDAY, JULY 18 RAY MIDLAND HEDY LAMAR —in— “COPPER CANYON” (Color by Technicolor) SUN.4MON., JULY 13 - 20 JUDY CANOVA — in — “THE WAC .

Hr^ © o o On this fine day in 1929 the weather ^ was hot, the Russians were threatening the Chinese, the weevils were menacing the Mississippi Valley, editors of papers were writing about the 18th amendment, and radio programs were awful. President Hoover was fishing over in Madison County, and the leading American Bird was the bald eagle. People with money had plenty of it, and the rest of us were about as usual. Don't let anybody tell that the world is not progressing. An editorial writer in a Richmond paper the other day undertook to catch the 17-year locusts up on what had happened since they went to sleep back in 1936. After telling the little cicadas the past seventeen years of American history, the writer ended his recitation with “It shouldn’t happen to a locust!” o o o A charming couple visited the print shop the other day. The Mr. stated that he was a city editor on a daily paper in Greenville, S. C., and he and the Mrs. were doing some special writing together on prison reform and they had been to Washington, D. C., to collect data for the story. In their visit by the country print shop, they expressed a desire thait seems to be universal with all men and women working in a city newspaper : they want to own a small country paper. Now, the thought has been pondered in my mind for some time: do farmers have big western ranchers come to visit them expressing a desire (to own what to them would be a “small farm”? I don’t understand these city fellows. They have soft, easy, big-paying jobs, yet they want to sweat it out in a country print shop I’ve always threatened to give <the shop to the next one who came by and said he wanted it. This hot weather season would be a very good time to make the gift. <But you can bet your bottom nickel on one item: I’m not leaving any print shop to go into a hay field. That looks like too hot work for me. Maybe I can get on some relief roll somewhere and not have to work any more.) > The surest way to preserve peace will be to fight all future wars on the pay-as-you-enter plan.

These citizens, said to be a small handful among the numerous persons who had. previously voiced the need for improvement, offered the following suggestions: 1. To form a bicycle club for the teenagers in order to teach them traffic rules and road courtesy; and 2. That the citizen be incited to accept their responsibility for apprehending the offenders. The officials reminded the citizens that any of them could take legal action against law breakers provided they have adequate information and are willing to present this information personally.

Drying Equipment Loans Available From PMA Loans to farmers to finance the purchase of drying and ventilating equipment for grains and other storable crops will be available through June 30, 1954 the Production and Marketing Administration has announced. A similar Commodity Credit Corporation program to help farmers get new storage facilities has been in effect since October 1949 according to H. S. Barksdale, chairman, Rappahannock PMA County Committee. The equipment for which farmers may finance the purchase includes Mobile mechanical dryers, air circulators, ventilators, tunnels and fans. The loans are for a maximum of 75% of the delivered and assembled cost and are payable in three annual installments. The interest rate is 4% a year. The loans are offered lo owners and operators of farms, tenants and landlords as well as. to groups of producers desiring to purchase drying equipment for joint use, provided such persons are producers of wheat, corn, oats, rye, barley, soybeans, peanuts, or other eligible crops. Loans to finance the constructions or purchase of new farm storage facilities for any of these grains and o*her storable crops are also available through June 30, 1954. Under the facility loan programs farmers may borrow up to 80% of the cost of the structure and repay in four annual installments with interest at a rate of 4% a year. PMA will finance the purchase of facilities which meet their requirement for eligible storage under the price support program. Eligibility of producers is the same under drying equipment loan program and loans are also disbursed through the PMA County Office. Mr. Barksdale further stated that the need for grain storage facilities and equipment in Rappahannock is probably more than in prior year due to the demand of farmers for storage space as a means of obtaining price support on 1953 crops. Adequate warehouse facilities for such storage has simply not been available to local farmers. Additional information concerning the facility programs may be had at the Rap CHURCH PICNIC On Saturday, July 18, the annual Sunday School picnic of the Methodist Church will be held at Schuler's.
