VOLUME $—NUMBER 9 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY MORNING, JANUARY O&A PER YEAR Sorry folks we forgot to let you know there would be no paper1 last week. But after much persuasion and coaxing I finally convinced the boss that we should I' take a few days off and go see how our* city cousins celebrated the coming of a new year. Last Thursday evening while looking through three city papers' we found the time and place for every kind of New Year's celebra* tion in the ^city except a WatchNight Service. , It seemed like all the night clubs and hotels had planned entertainments for the evening, but not a religious service could be found. We finally resorted to the Yellow Pages of -C the directory and the telephone to ’ locate a service. The church we attended was filled and the sermon —was a wonderful one on the Extras of Life. What's wrong with our laws in the State when people are forcibly relieved of their money on the highways and there is no way to make the victim file a complaint? Isn't there some way whereby he could be forced to give evidence in a case such as that? To me it v looks like suppressing-'evidence. Or couldn’t occurrences of that, kind be presented to the Grand Jury when it convenes. And what about people firing , on automobiles along the highway and causing them to be wrecked; l and nothing being done about it* i ^ , I was always under the impres§;C sion that when a person witnessed ■\ ?•' felony it was his civic duty to report it—maybe I am wrong, t o o © o Virginia’s four white-supported colleges went on an economy basis this year in, their athletic scholar* - --ships iir u waving of $25,0OO.”Biff-~ 1951-52 the University of Virginia, VP1, ViMI, and W & M - j- spent $251,000 for scholarships. The past year the same schools ; only spent a little more than $226,000. Glad to know that economy is being practiced by some of the ! State departments. ■ > • ,■ < o o o o d-,* With Congress now in session, - *oIks in Rappahannock and the rest of the Seventh District can only wish that the rest of the country was as ably represented as we are by the one and only Burr P. Harrison. V V o o You can aoy what you will *bout the conveniences ^ one is ‘ / deemed heir to in a city, but‘me— I take the country any day. For example; how can you tell the ./ time of day when the morning pamper arrives the night before, and the evening paper shows up mid.morning. Yep—all joy. vanishes ~~,when there’s no morning paper to’ ieat breakfast with; besides, who ■ has any , appetite anyway when there is no mad dash for the front \ door step so you’ll be the first to. see “Dennis, the Menace.” o o o o . I suppose it’s another instance when we’re battering our head against a brick wall, but this bus • situation is an uncomfortable one. Long and hard has been the road we set for ourselves when we . first set out to' correct the bus situation in Rappahannock County. When the bus company’s highlobbiests stated their case, h we were quickly dismissed, thus „ bringing to a close legal action. It sure seems unfair though when . a m*n gets to the station in time >to catch a bus and then because. fM, over-crowded conditions, is xorced to-change his,plans. ^ /-I- ■' 1 *■*■■■* . ‘A'.

The sovereign State of Virginia which yields to none in the Union as • a stronghold of' mountain-bred folk music, has come up with a new musical champion, Mac Wiseman, from the foot of White Top Mountain, who holds forth on the Old Dominion Barn Dance. Oddly, though Virginia's folk music has been well explored by researchers, it has developed relatively few widely known singers in the popular hilbilly idiom. But big, young Mac Wiseman, who's toted a git-box since he was a boy, is putting his home state on the country-style music map. Mac Wiseman was bom and raised on a farm eight miles from Waynes- 5 boro, and he grew up with the oldold songs he learned on the farm, in - church and from itinernt gospel— singers.

In 19.54. the dime will have even greater power as a new front is opened in the 15-year battle against polio with a program of Polio Prevention. This will include gamma globulin and trials of the test vaccine. This program alone will cost $26,500,000. Give generously to the 1954 March of Dimes throughout the entire month of January. The Inside Story Prior to this year, 50% of net funds raised in Virginia was retained by Virginia Chapters to pay for ' hospital bills, wheel chairs, braces, crutches and equipment for hospitals.* The 50% senf to New York was to pay for research, scholarships, epidemic aid to chapters and management. This 50-50 split was based on an estimate of 10,000 to 12,000 polio cases annually and, for a time, worked according to pattern. - During the last five years we have had National incidence averaging over 30,000 cases per year, and in those areas of high incidence in Virginia, practically all of our Chapters are without funds. The demands 6n the normal two to three million dollars in the Epidemic J^id Fund in New York have been annually increased, and this year will be in excess of ten million dollars. Every step has been taken to put into use funds remaining in some of the larger areas where incidence has been low. Contributions from Virginia Chapters this year alone to our Epidemic Aid Fund are approximately $100,000. Facing this ever-increasing demand on Headquarters for additional funds to support Virginia cases, and particularly those longterm recovery cases which remain in hospitals for several years we find balances in *our Chapters at a new low with one or two exceptions. The same condition is true nationally and it was necessary, therefore, that the trustees of the National Foundation at a recent meeting in— ri-UI— - " .1' =■ New York vote a change in the distribution of funds this year—not entirely because of the situation outlined above, but because of the ddition to our three major programs—Medical Care, Research, and Professional Education—of a fourth program—Polio Prevention. It is estimated that this fourth program alone will cost 265 rifillion dollars this year—19 million dollars of which will be spent for gamma globulin and 75 million dollars to conduct the validity tests of the Salk vaccine. In order to warrant the success of this Polio Prevention Program, 1/3 of all. funds received this year in the 1954' March of Dimes will be set aside for Polio Prevention; the remaining funds from the March of Dimes will be divided as heretofore on a 50-50 basis. The National Foundation, after sixteen years, through the efforts of thousands of volunteers, now moves * from a defensive position to one of attack. In any war, it costs more to attack than to defend, and the fght aganst polio is no exception. Our Chapters primarily intereted in the care of those patients within their communities now face the additional burden of doing their share to provide gamma globulin and vaccine to take care of fcvery child in the community. It now becomes a program of major interest to everyone—every parent free from fear—every child free from public. ' t Should anyone be interested in the actual figures covering funds spent in Virginia from 1944 to the present date, they will be* gladly furnished upon request to our State Office_ DANCE FRIDAY, JANUARY 15 AT' WASHINGTON, VA.

Disagreements already are apparent *ts to what should be done about both recognize that the Congressional domestic problems and foreign affairs and it is only realistic to elections next fall will * influence year. It is customary for the President to outline his program only in a general way in his message during the first week of a Congressional session and to follow that up with a later budget message and possibly additional messages covering specific subjects of major importance. Con- , troversies will develop as the executive recommendations ^are put into the form of bills and resolutions. Among trie most knotty problems will be those involving tax revision, foreign aid and foreign, trafle, defease programs, changes in the Taft-. Hartley labor Act, low cost housing, social security and' farm legislation. The derision on farm price supports wilr be especially difficult. Under the present law crops now entitled to support will be covered at— 90 percent of parity for the calendar year 1954 but Congress will have to provide this year for what is to be done in 1955. The Commodity Credit Corproation is authorized to finance ^removal of frm surpluses up to the value of six billion, seven hundred - million dollars under the present law but of that total close to five billion already has been obligated and the Department of Agriculture believes the entire authorization will be obligated by next March.

DISTRIBUTOR Atlantic Refining Company CULPEPER, VA. the problem as to how much more money will be made available for this program and, more, important, what should be done with the huge stocks of food and fibres which are being accumulated under control of the Federal Government. Larger exports of farm products would help to handle our surplus and this involves another controversial , problem—what we are going to do about continuation of the Reciprocal Trade Agreements which expire this year. That, in turn, is tied in with questions of what aid we shall give to other democratic nations, because a large portion of our foreign trade in recent years has been financed with dollars we gave away and that practice cannot go on indefinitely. Military foreign aid also is closely related to the question of how much we shall spend for our domestic defense programs and the Congress will have to decide, among other things, whether we should strengthen our airforce as a deterrent to Russian agression or whether to cut all branches of our military service to the extent needed to permit the tax reductions which individuals and corporations are demanding. What can be done about taxes will depend largely on the size of our— total defense budget,- since that constitutes such a large portion of total Federal spending, but it already is obvious that rigid economy in nondefense spending will be required to avoid piling up a huge additional deficit. Assuming that no tax cuts are made except the • elimination of the excess profits tax and the ten per cent cut on personal incomes which already are scheduled and that we follow the precedent of last year in starting no public works not definitely geared to the defense effort, we still face the prospect ol a technill .1 Pitts Park THEATRE -Front Royal, VirginiaTHURSDAY, JAN. 7 JEAN SIMMONSSTEWART GRANGER DEBORAH KERR CHARLES LAUGHTON —■■■ in — “YOUNG BESS” (Color by Technicolor) FRI. - SAT., JAN. 8 - 9 GLENN FORD DIANA LYNN —in-— “Plunder of The Sun” SUN. - MON. - TUES.
