John H. Yeatts, State Representative of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, showed several films. He told the interested persons present—a mere fourteen—that soon polio would be a dreaded disease of the past.

Secretary elected was Miss Ruth Stevens while Jock Brown was elected treasurer. Mrs. Milton Gore was elected the campaign chairman for the campaign beginning in January. Forester Urges Citizens To Prevent Forest Fires' The Virginia Forest Service is again appealing to the people of the Commonwealth to Prevent Forest Fires. We need the help of everyone, young and old, to prevent a serious outbreak of forest fires during this critical drought period. The small amount of ram which fell during the Week end was negligable and a few hours after the showers the woods were as dry as if it had never rained at all. Officials of the Federal Forest Service and State Forest Service report that the fire hazard is greater now than at any time during the past 30 years. The drought and burning indices are as high now in Virginia as they were in Maine during 1947 when over 30 million dollars worth of timber went up in smoke. Mr. Dean, State Forester, and Mr. Quinn, Director of Virginia’s Com-. Imission of Game and Inland ■{close Virginia's woodlands to all Itypes of hunting until precious > rain farrives. The Forest Service asks all Isportsmen and "lovers of the outdoors to bear with us in this matter and abide by the regulations set up during this time of high fire danger. One spark is capable of burning thousands of acres as woodlands are I tinder dry and in an explosive condition. Burned woodlands mean no I game for this hunting season and fmany to come until nature reIplenishes the food supply and relestablishes cover for wild animals. |The Virginia Forest Service is askling people to stay out of the woods and not to bum brush, trash, etc.. until the rains come.

That we might protect our most valuable natural resource— our forestland. ' v’' : • •• M . k ‘ -,i? Respectfully, Raymond M. Johnson Chief Forest Warden Rappahannock County RAPP - GHATS ' By: W. H. Lyne County Agent The Drought Relief Program plus a mean cold made us late in giving you a complete report on the Rappahannock Angus Breeders Feeder 1953 Calf Sale. First of all it was the largest sale in the history of the organization with forty-one producers consigning: 961 head of feeder calves, 20 yearlings and 88 light weight calves (just under 300 lbs.)'. Total receipts were $89,943,85 with an average price af $21.08. Steers our numbered heifers tow to one. Quality was high, especially so considering the drought; 207 head graded fancy, 376 choice, 284 good and 94 medium. With 60 RABA will again hold top price in quality in the state. Time alone will tell when a recapitulation of all Virginia Feeder Calf sales are received. ——Three— new_members_made_the 100% Fancy and Choice club this year, namely Ralph Ingersoll, of Castleton; L. J. Turner, of Washington; and J. B. Cordtfr, of Viewtown. W. C. Campbell, of Washing-r ton, was the only repeater; in fact if Mr. Campbell keeps up the line record he is making with his calves will soon have to call him Cattle King Campbell, he has had a 100% Fancy and Choice consignment for ' the past three years nowl J. B. Corder, a new consignor, started off with a bang by sending over ten head, nine of them Fancy; if you please, and but one a lonesome choice. And say did they ever more weigh ! Average weight 509.5 lbs. Without further calculations I’ll declare Mr.# Corder “Champion" when it comes to getting the highest returns per cow! Anyone that gets a bang out of seeing a nice herd of cows has a treat in store when he sees Mr. Corder’s blacks! Others that can’t be overlooked for the quality of their consignment are: G. A. Burgers (8 out of 9); John S. Buckner (14 out of 15); Henry Wood (25 out of 27) ; L. J. Turner (7 out of 8). Incidentally I hear the Burgers and Kilby herds are for sale, (See RAPP-CHATS, page 8) Single Women Defeat Married Women, 16-15 Under clear skies, the Married Women took the field against, the Single Women in nine swift innings of softball on Sunday afternoon, contributing the purs^of around $80 to the Washington Fire Compajiy. Doffing dungarees, long ago confined to the attic trunk and mothballs, the Married Women gripped valiant stabs at the “rabbit” balls that flew their way. At first it looked as if the Single Women would chalk up an easy win, but then the Married team began to slug .the ball and gaining enthusiasm, round the bases. Though in fun, the game was blood and sweat all the way, with the laugfis intertwined.'' One parried player tumbling as she was racing the ball to home base, didn’t bother to get up. She just rolled over the plate, scoring a run. The reign of the Married was brief. A couple of errors, some good hits by the Single team and the game ended 16-15 in favor of the Singles. / The rescue truck, with Its new coat of paint, was self evident of the advancing .'work of the rescue squad. It “came to the game” in order that the crowd could look it over and make inquiries into the organization of the squad. It was a reminder too, of the good cause for which the game originated. Fireman Mahlon' Ramey organized and managed the past three games. , <f> ■ r , V«>, J A,.» yf*, - i W-t' Election Judges and Clerks Appointed lor County In a recent meeting of the Electoral Board, consisting of C.

RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS J PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING > ) At Wiwhington, Rappahannock'County Virginia ' DIAL WASHINGTON 2851 BRUCE S. SOWIE....Publisher Entered as second-class mail matter at the post office at Washington, Virginia «■___ _.______—--... SUBSCRIPTION: (in advance)_____$2.00 a year Dalton’s Unrealistic ' Platform {Northern Virginia Daily) Ted Dalton as Republican candidate for Governor, had one of the best chances to poll a tremendous Republican vote, if not to win the election, that any previous Republican gubernatorial candidate has ever enjoyed. He is a forceful speaker, an experienced legislator, and he enjoys a wide acquaintance in the State. Tom Stanley, his Democratic opponent, a man of unusual ability and the highest integrity, was faced with the threat of a party split and his campaign manager was indicted on an income-tax charge. Ordinarily these things might have improved ^Mr^ Dalton’s chance of election. Certainly they were nofTntended to— brighten his opponent’s prospects. But the Radford Republican has probably lost a lot of votes as a result of a queer assortment of political issues on whTchThe has-seen fi t - to— wage his campaign. It is doubtful whether any gubernatorial candidate, either Republican or Democratic could win an election on some of these issues. We do not know who his campaign advisers are, but whoever they are, they are either not practical politicians or they are obsessed with the idea that novelty can win an election over soundness of policy. Virginians as a whole are not inclined to favor such revolutionary changes as Mr. Dalton proposes and they are not widely dissatisfied with their present government. .back m tne ly^us Virginia definitely and decisively abandoned bond issues, as far as the^State government was concerned, and adopted a pay-as-you-go .policy. That policy has kept the State free of debt and has contributed largely to its low tax rate. Virginia is known far and wide as a state whose fiseal policies have ‘ contributed largely to its growth and prosperity and whose debt-free status has enabled it to keep abreast of modem progress without burdensome taxation. And Virginia has one <5f the best highway systems in the entire country, ranking near the top in the list of states and known to all who travel the roads of the nation. Why Mr. Dalton or anyone else should think that Virginia would vote itself under a $200,000,000 bond issue in view of the circumstances outlined above, is one of the .mysteries of this campaign. Other issues advocated by Mr. Dalton are equally as hard to understand. For example, why should anyone want an unlimited constitutional conveni STOP! AT THIS SIGN I. BRADLEY ATKINS Atlantic Service Station SPERRYVILLE, VA L. B. DULIN, JR. y DISTRIBUTOR Atlantic Refining Company CULPEPER, VA 1 Your Inalienable Trust With election upon us, there’s the usual parade of campaign promises, campaign denunciations and campaign veneer galore. One reads and listens until he has a mind to leave it all to someone who ’can understand it better than he, and with a humble shrug “I’m just not going to vote. It doesn’t make any difference because they’re going to elect whom they want, anyway.” Deliver us from this attitude. You do make a difference. Besides a lot of “you’s” makes a "they” who swings an election. Choose your candidate intelligently and vote for him . . . Republican, Democrat, or whatnot. The important thing is exercise this right. Witches Hats - Cold Black Cats With the changing of the leaves -and-their^ lettingi-loose to float lazily to the ground, fall comes to Rappahannock, in a burst of color and in the aftermath, a bareness. As the “ wind scatters' the dry leaves, a new scent pervades the air, and Hallowe'en with its witches, jack-o-lanterns, and scarry masks invades the world of youth. It’s fun ‘cause it’s dark and secret—you can shout and blow horns and peep under crooked masks. For one night you throw inhibitions out the window as you are whirled into this make believe environment. Keep Pace. You’re really old if yotf can’t' summon a shiver at a sheeted figure’s shrill “boo.” And the housewife who ignores “tricks or treats” is quickly and rightly classed “an old fogey.” But you fun-seekers—dpn’t carry your jokes over the line. Respect an individual’s rights—Hallowe’en does not let down the bar in this respect. Every year papers carry stories of jokes turned tragedies because of a momeftt of flight or a warped sense of humor. Have fun in a legitimate healthy way. Your neighbor likes to laugh too. tion when any desired changes in the Constitution can be submitted to the people from time to time as they appear. A “full dress” constitutional convention would be enormously costly and could change our whole system of government without even submitting the changes to the vote of the people.

Stanley, A. E. S. Stephens, and J. Lindsay Almond, Jr., who have been elected to represent the Democratic Party of Virginia for the three Statewide offices reiterate .their faith in, arid adherence to those basic concepts of public service, which have won for the Democratic Party the admiration and acceptance of the large majority of our people over these years in its administration of the affairs of Stete government. J_The Democratic candidates are strong advocates of the fiscal policies of your Commonwealth, which have brought safe and sound government to Virginia and which have also gained for Virginia the applause of many from all states. Those policies include a balanced budget—economical, efficient and conscientious admin i stration— freedom from State indebtedness _and the full consideration of those. who pay the bill—all taxpayers of Virginia. The Democratic candidates believe that when State revenues are in excess of budget estimates, the excess should be returned to the taxpayers under the Automatic Tax Reduction Act. The Democratic program opposes the establishment of any new and unnecessary bureaus in the State government, which will add to the expense of operation and which could only bring an increase in taxes. It is worthy of note that for more than 75 years Virginia has not had a single instance of malfesance or of dishonest conduct by any State official — no highplaced politicians profiting by the exerting of political influence. Good sound government is neither static nor retrogressive, but progressive and ever responsive to the needs and best interests of all the people. Therefore, the Democratic program to ad vance the Virginia economy, which is here reviewed in brief, has been developed within the framework of the policies here stated. That program can be accomplished without any increase in taxation. -ay...... Card of Thanks The family of James F.

Feed Situation Most Serious > By W. fi. Lyne, County Agent a Feed far our livestock is drastically short. Prices of feed are high—so high mahy livestock men will find the cost of feed exceeds the value of the calf or even the milk he will have to sell; that is unless he makes wise use of the feed he,has on hand,, unless he makes wise substitutes that — are^less expensive. t So serious is the situation the director of Extension Service in Virginia has ordered certain of its specialist to cancel all other engagements in order to try and help Virginia beef and dairy farmers over- * come this hazardous situation brought by the drough. Teams consisting of: a Dairy Specialist, an Animal Husbandry Specialist, and an Agronomist will visit every county in Northern Virginia for the purpose of bringing the most up-to-date and best research data on feeding and feed production in an emergency of the kind farmers are now faced with.— One of these teams will come to Rappahannock, Tuesday, November 24 at 1:30 p.m. Every Rappahannock farmer should take advantage of this opportunity.

SOCIAL SECURITY NEWS Self-employed persons over age 65 who have retired during 1953, or expect to retire before January 1954 woud do well to consult with their social security office before the end of September, according to Miss Henrietta Mode, field representative of the Alexandria social security of:ice. In some cases, Miss Mode indicated, a delay in filing an application jntiHhe last three months of the year nay result in somewhat lower monthly old-age insurance payments. But, she emphasized, the problem is limitid to only a few of the self-employed persons retiring this year, and does not at all affect individuals who intended to continue operating their businesses after this year. Social security payments are tied in to the individual's average monthly warnings over the years since 1950 when social security coverage was extended to the self-employed. Average earnings are figured by dividing the total earnings covered by social security by the number of months elapsing after 1950. Since, under the law, earnings from self-employment are reported and counted only once a year—after the individual has filed his income tax return—the 1953 earnngs of a self-employed person filing this year cannot be counted in figuring his average earnings. Therefore, Miss Mode suggests that self-employed persons who have before January visit the Alexandria social security office, 815 King St., before the end of this month.

New Highway Post Office Begins Operation Nov. 2 Representative Burr P. Harrison said today that Rappahannock, County should experience an improvement in mail service when the new Rcanoke-Martinsburg highway post office begins operations November 2. ^ The new route was one of two proposed by Mr. Harrison last February, when he asked the Post Office Department to make a survey of mail transportation throughout the Seventh Congressional District with a view to speedier service. “I am very glad that the Post Office Department has decided to provide the Seventh District and adjacent areas with an additional highway post office route,” Mr. Harrison said. “This has been an urgent need of the communities whose mail- movement was impaired when certain Norfolk and Western trains were discontinued.” The trains carried railway post offices which sorted mail enroute. Truck routes which replaced the trains carried the mail to the end of the line for sorting, even though some of it was addressed t® the next town on the truck route, postal officials pointed out to Mr. Harrison. The new highway post office will restore sorting enroute. The big buslike vehicles will provide one trip in each direction daily, except Sunday. They will meet in Harrisonburg and exchange crews, so that neither crew will have to be- away from home overnight U. S. Highway 340 (old State Highway 12) will be used for much ot the route. Connections will Be~ made with important through mail trains at Martinsburg, Waynesboro, Glasgow and Roanoke. The new highway post office will exchange mail with the existing HarrisonburgWashington, D. C. highway post office at Harrisonburg and with numerous truck mail routes. Mr. Harrison said postal officials emphasized the improved service would be felt by many communities off the -dircft route of the highway post office because of the new connections made. Some mail to and from distant points would be advanced as much as 24 hours, it was stated. A direct connection with the highway post office * will be made at Front Royal for mail to and from Huntly, Flint Hill, Washington, Sperryville and Woodville, according to the Post Office Department. Other Rappahannock communities may be, serviced more expeditiously . over existing routes, it was explained.

(Paid Political Advertising) 'UitofifiUa tyabm&ib He 04t Ute> cUe/U . . . * ri Ted Dalton, Republican candidate for Governor, has proposed a $100 million state bond issue for roads. This is only one of his many promises which would increase public spending in the state by millions of dollars. Mr. Dalton would abandon Virginia’s famous payas-you-go program and would put the state heavily in debt, to the extent of $100 million. Thirty years ago Virginia, was in the mud. There were no farm-to-market roads and the only good highway in the state was the Valley Pike. It was then that influential people in the big cities urged a $50 million bond issue for road construction. The fight was a bitter one, but the bond issue was defeated throughout the state by a 40,000 majority. Rappahannock County in that historic election voted 84 for the bond issue and 423 against the bond issue. Virginia then embarked upon the pay-as-you-go program, the state tax on land was repealed and Virginia today, without a single cent of tax except from gasoline, paid by those who use the highways, has developed a 50,000 mile road system. This was constructed and is maintained .without any local taxes going for this purpose. / 1 he Dalton proposal would abandon the pay-asyou-go system and substitute in its place a heavy state debt such as was placed on North Carolina 30 years ago. North Carolina, it is true, built roads somewhat faster than did Virginia, but only last year North Carolina found it necessary to float another gigantic bond issue as her main highways-are obsolete and her secondary roads are in disrepair. North Carolina besides a heavy bonded indebtedness and heavy interest payments on these bonds has a higher gasoline tax than does Virginia. Mr. Dalton's proposal is to discard Virginia's pay-as-you-go plan, which has worked so well for 30 years, and to bring into this state the North Carolina system. Mr. Dalton's proposal strikes at the very foundations of Virginia’s financial structure, which is based on low taxes and freedom from debt. Virginia almost alone among the 48 states is free from debt. Mr. Dalton’s election as Governor would radically not question Mr. Dalton's sincerity. He sincerely believes that it is best for the state to bond itself for $100 million and to pay each year heavy interest payments on that debt. While we do not question his sincerity we do believe it would be tragic were Virginia to scrap its payas-you-go. program and place a heavy bonded indebtedness on all the people of the commonwealth. A vote for Dalton is a vote for a $100 million bonded indebtedness. A vote for Thomas B. Stanley is a vote for the pay-as-you-go system. 1 ' r;‘v- * • - RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE Among those from Sperryville who attended a bridge party given by Mrs. T. C.

Your county drought relief committee is doing its I best to treat every cow owner fairly and impartially. Give them the $ame, sort of break. Not one draws a cent for serving and serving takes a good deal of each committeemen’s time besides doing so is a headache.
