♦ Price $2.00 PER YEAR VOLUME 5—NUMBER 12 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY'MORNING, JANUARY 28, 1354 xscxxx Put on your thinking cap and give us the answer to the following question and you will receive a one-year subscription to the News: Who was Edward G. Ross, and what one thing did he do that no other man in American history has done? The first answer phoned in or the earliest postmarked letter will he notified through this column, o o o o < We have for years pulled for the teams at Notre Dame and expect lu continue to do ~so -unlcoa they are playing Georgia Tech— and we believe they would have more rooters iff more people had read the statement last week from their Athletic Association criticizing post-season games. The powers that be at Notre Dame stated last week that too much emphasis was being placed on postseason games, and not enough on class work, and they will'continue their no-post-season game policy, o o o o For the past few days all phones in this community have been busy with preparations for the annual Fireman’s Banquet — and come Friday night all these lean and hungry looks that we have seen around town for the past few days will be gone. From past experiences the Firemen know that the banquet is something that they have to fast for several days or they will not be able to-eat near as much of the delicious food as they would like to. Let’s hope Roanoke is able to withstand the shock troops that have been in that city for the past few days attending the Horticultural meeting. One explanation of the warm weather we have been having could be that the -wind has been from the direction of Roanoke—and the air for the past days has been exceptionally warm, o o o o With their gleaming red Rescue Car ready for service to any part of the county, the members of that organization are still working toward their goal of $435.00 to purchase the oxygen equipment. The equipment they are planning on securing will furnish oxygen to a patient for one hour—in that time a patient can be transported to a hospital for further treatment. The Rescue Car is now equipped with two stretchers, a first aid kit, blankets, and splints* But the members feel that is only a start to what they plan to have in it. I o o o o Mac Wiseman has won many a friend in Rappahannock—following the show, Monday night, sponsored by the local Polio Drive, the proceeds were divided according to a previous arrangement. $31 went to the Drive and $50 to Wiseman and his three boys. Wiseman insisted that the Drive take the $50 and give his troop the $31 (after offering to turn over the entire amount). It’s a gestuce like this that makes one believe in the good side of life. ■o o o o The Rappahannock News, right down to Duchess (mascot) welcomes back “Mr. Willie,” the Master Printer, wh ohas had to forego many visits as of late, due to ill health. 0 0 0 0 Admired by printers and readers alike is the frank slogan of the Flomaton Journal, a weekly published in Alabama, “Liked by* few, cussed by many, but read by everyone.” Likewise another weekly advocates: “Published every Friday or as the (Continued on Page 8) Washington Priority Much Discussed Up in New England, a gusty battle of words has been raging over which town of Washington came first Washington, Conn, which has about 2300 inhabitants, celebrated its 175th birthday on Jan. 7 last. It commemorated the occasion by announcing that it was the first community in the United States to be named after George Washington. The story, innocently carried by the national news services, touched off a battle of the Washingtons. Washington, N. H., claimed itself three years older, and unquestionably, “the first.” This claim was backed up by the State’s Governor Hugh Gregg and other dignitaries. They lined up to denounce the Connecticut community “-as—an mtgrlnpinfz,.. young whippprsnapper of a town. So far, Washington, D. C. and Washington, Pa., have remained peaceably on the sidelines, but who kno^s when they are liable to jump into the fray. After all it’s not a private fight. There is one place, however, which has rumbled some dignified scorn for Washington, Conn., founded in 1779 and Washington, N. H., started in 1776. That is Washington, Va., (population 249), which is located in Virginia’s Rappahannock County, about 80 miles southwest of the U. S. capital. When it gets its Dixie danger up, Washington, Va., will fight, bleed and die for the honor of being known as the first. It regards towns begun in 1776 and 1779 as callow, unbearded youths among the Washingtons. For, Washington, Va., known as "Little Washington’’ in this general vicinity, (it is much littler than “Little Washington,” Pa.) claims to have gotten its name on August 4, 17401 What was George Washington doing in those days? Why, he was a 17-year-old sur(Continued on Page 8) Attend Horticulture Convention * L. V. Merrill, Herbert Foster, C. YV. Keyser, E. M.

RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At Washington, 'Rappahannock County Virginia DIAL WASHINGTON 2851 BRUCE S. BOWIE Publisher Entered as second-class mail matter at the post office at Washington, Virginia SUBSCRIPTION: (in advance)_$2.00 a year Turning Point! An important aspect of the tragic loss of lives in the nation’s highway accidents which has escaped the full attention of Americans is the emotional impact on the victims’ families. Paul H. Blaisell, public safety director of the Association of Casualty and purely Companies, brings “Operation Heartbreak” into proper focus with a letter he received from an Illinois mother whose 15-yearold son was killed last year while riding with a driver of the same age. “One reads of automobile accidents involving hundreds of people,” the mother^wrote him, “but little do we consider the heartbreak and changes in family living that these accidents bring about. < • We never hear of the victim s father and mother who have to keep on from day to day, feeling that all their physical strength has completely left them—pulling themselves up by their boot straps so the two brothers and one sister won’t feel that the bottom has dropped out from under their feet. “We never hear of the brother who was so very close to his year-and-ahctlf older brother wanderii.j from bedroom to bedroom when it is time to retire, visiting with his little brother and sister and his mother and dad, and his grandmother—talking about first one thing and another, dreading the time when he must go to his bedroom alone—sighing and tossing in his bed until late at night. “We take other people's trouble so casually—surely something could be done to lessen the number of lives that are lost along the highways.” This mother’s poignant picture of -.what, an accident has done to her? family only begins to tell the full story of “Operation Heartbreak’ in the homes of America’s 40,000 highway fatalities in a year’s time. As Mr. Blaisdell points out, this is part of the uncounted indirect toll of these accidents, -but it is in under-*— standahle human term-; that perhaps_ might make a deeper impression on the drivers of American families than cold statistics of the dead and injured. If motorists respond with safer driving because their emotions are moved by the tragic results of accidents as drawn by this and other bereaved mothers, and if the legion of those left behind !by the victims of automobile accidents could be organized into an army of ardent WASHINGTON, D. C. As Viewed By Your Senator % A. Willis Robertson ENCOURAGING ASPECTS OF BUDGET MESSAGE . Obviously it is impossible within the space of this column to analyze a document as complicated as the budget message which the President submitted to the Congress last week. What follows, therefore, is merely my comment on some of the features which first impressed me and which I shall want to discuss more fully at later dates. lne most encouraging teature ot the budget is the continuing reduction of the gap between what the Federal Government collects and what it spends. In the fiscal year which ended last June spending exceeded receipts by nearly 9.4 billion dollars. This year the deficit is estimated at .3.3 billion dollars and if the President's recommendations for the year starting next July are carried out he estimates the deficit will be reduced in that year to 2.9 billion dollars. This estimate* assumes that tax reductions which were made at the beginning of this year, and some further tax revisions which are recommended, will reduce collections ’ by around 5 billion dollars. So, without the tax cuts, we would have had a surplus. The President also pointed out that on a cash basis the government will receive more than it spends next year. The deficit figures in the budget result because several billion dollars collected will be credited to trust funds such as those for old age and unemployment insurance. A better indication of the improvement of our financial situation since the peak of Koreaft War spending is the fact that new spending authority which the President asks for the next fiscal year is 25 billion dollars less than the high figure of 1952 (a reduction of 38 percent) and actual expenditures for next year are estimated at 8.4 billion dollars less than the high spending mark reached ‘ in 1953 (a drop of 11 percent). As the President pointed out a workers in the cause of highway safety—which is this mother’s strong desire—we might at long last see a turning point in the alarming trend of traffic accidents. o the new MARCH OF PIMES program for VACCINE TESTS AMO GAMMA GLOBULIN IN 195*1" <3>0*ll,000,000 | □ f»75OOiOOO £3 he,500,000 {JfUSfiOCbOOO #4 f '-Mm*. r. •. v I POLIO PATIENTS * PROM PAST YEARS STILL WILL NEEP HELP FROM MARCH OF P1ME5 in 1954?

The President gave reassurances ever made for atomic energy development, military aid to our allies and our continental defense and the largest expenditures of any year since World War II for air p«wer. I shall want more information before committing myself to this program, however, because of my deep concern over the international situation, especially as it is developing in Indo-China and other potential .trSubJe-spots. In Government activities other than defense programs, the President recommended the expenditures of 2.2 billion dollars below what was spent last year and 1.5 below the latest estimates for this year, which means a reduction over the two year^ of around 25 per cent. The recom-« mended program contains, however, the#largest allowances ever made for. some domestic items and includes expenditures of more than a billion dollars for activities to be authorized by new legislation. This obviously means that much deeper cuts must be made in some other existing programs and our Appropriations Committee will have a heavy responsibility in seeing that a proper balance is preserved which will not wreck established programs that are now essentiaf. I heartily agree, however, with the suggestion in the (budget message that necessity rather than mere desirability must be the test for our spending. RAPP - OHATS By: W. H.

Wilson and Hormel: “You fellows are spending a lot of money here today.” The reply: “We are not spending money, we are investing money. We are investing in the future of Jackson County. We are developing boys and girls. We are helping to improve the methods of livestock feeding and improving the fertility of the soil. No we are not spending m^ney. We are pleased to have the opportunity to cooperate in a worth while project of this kind.” i^on i Know wno 1 m quoting dui sure would like to know that person. Simply quoting from the January 8th Com Belt Lamb Feeder. How much are you, and you, and you investing in Rappahannock? What is the. extent of my investment ? - Certainly we all have many opportunities to invest in our country’s future and in more ways than one; through our schools, through our churches, through „ our 4-H clubs. Youth in Rappahannock is worth just as much as youth in Jackson County, Minnesota. But wait—it’s not the quality of our youth as compare4 to the Minnesota lads and lassies—its the quality and quantity of our in- * vestment.

"No,” the man replied. “I never worked at an inside job. I’m a whistle listener.” Clock-Watcher, Whistle-Listener, Investor???? As of Monday of this week, fortytwo Rappahannock farmers had requested Timely Tips for Farmers be sent them monthly** It is suggested that readers of this column who have delayed sending in their cards do so before the end of the month or early in January.

Profitt TOOD GOES DQIVN THE RIVERS! J. N. (Ding) Darling, the famous caftponist, put the case for soil conservation in these memoraible words: “Beefsteak and potatoes, roast duck, ham and egsg, and bread and butter with jam on it, are being washed down our rivers each year in the form of good rich farm topsoil.” We have long passed the point where we can afford to let this happen. We will have to feed a population which is growing at a dizzy rate from an agricultural acreage which is virtually fixed. That fact imposes a dual obligation: to get maximum production 4rom our land and, at the same time to save and whenever possible improve that land for the needs of the years ahead. Basically, soil conservation is, not the job of government, even though government agencies are vitally interested and are active participants in the movement. It is the job of the farmer—individually, and collectively with his neighbors. And he hafs no lack of aids.1 Agricultural colleges, the soil conservation service, the forest service, farm equipment manufacturers, government bureaus and others offer booklet's and' other ma= terials dealing graphically and constructively with the problem. Modern farm machinery provides an efficient, low-cost means of doing the actual, work. Every time an acre of farmland is properly and scientifically conserved, the whole country is permanently enriched. ? THIS COMPLIMENT HAS BEEN EARNED Senator Robertson of Virginia recently had some important., things to say about our American railroads. We have only six per cent of the world’s land area and population, he piotned out, yet we have 30 per cent of its total railway mileage. Our railroads employ 1,500,000 persons paying them more than $5,000,000,000 a year in taxable wages. And the industry has achieved safety standards , which are almost unbelieveably high. On the average over 9,000,000 passenger miles are traveled for each passenger injury. He also cited the railroads as a prime ekample of the virtue of private enterprise and an outstanding answer to socialist arguments. During World War II, he said, the railroads paid federal taxes averaging over $3,000,000 a day. By contrast, when the government operated the railroads in World War 1 a taxsupported deficit of nearly $2,000,000 a day resulted. Finally, the Senator said: “I have ridden on some of the railways of Europe and of the Orient where all are under government operation. The equipment of none of then, is comparable to ours and all of them, with the possible exception of the National Railway of Switzerland, operate in the red every year.” We take A-l railroad service for granted. And the compliment that implies has been thoroughly earned by Qur railroad men. Support the Polio Drive by attending the benefit Card Party.

SOME OBSERVATIONS (Continued from Page 1) occasion warrants, the editor feels so disposed, sufficient mechanical help is available and when our subscribers and advertisers so demand." V o u u My better half refuses to let anybody in on his latest; so I must do the honors or risk oblivion: “Although a printer’s daughter, she was hot the type.’*—and he blames the Horticulture Convention for the warm weather. o o o b It seems strange to us, in a small town community, that city slickers can’t conceive the idea that land in the country belongs to an individual or individuals and is not just public property. They may recognize the fact that their next door neighbor’s yard is private property and must tie respected as such—but in the next —moment they will drive"to the country, hunt and fish on a persons land and otherwise treat (or mistreat it) without even asking the owner’s permission for its use. WASHINGTON— (Continued from Page 1) veyer. Lord Thomas Fairfax^ sent him out to survey and plat a* large hilly territory known as Baron’s Land. The entire population of Washington, Va., from the oldest gaffer to the newest baby, will inform you that George Washington laid out the general outline of a town at a level place on a hillside, and that Lord Fairfax named it in honor of his youthful surveyer. However (and this part they don’t advertise), there wasn’t anything there but survey stakes when Washington finished his chore. Things ate a little vague about how soon thereafter the first settlers came to live in the place. But it was not until 1796 that the Virginia Legislature officially organized it and established it as a town. Washington is one ot this Nations favorite place names. According to the most recent survey, there are the following Washingtons in the United States—257 townships; 121 cities, towns and villages; 33 counties; 10 lakes; eight streams, seven mountains, one State, and 15 miscellaneous places. Pennsylvania-has one of the cities and counties, plus Washington Boro in Lancaster County; Washington Crossing in Bucks County, and Washingtonville in Montrose County. No matter which town of Washington is oldest, the youngest is believed to be Washingtn, Oklahoma, established in 1907. The smallest is Washington, W. Va., and, of course, the largest is Washington, D. C. Washington, Va., which seems to have gotten there first, doesn’t make the news often. However, something does come up occasionally to get it in the papers. Like the day of Nov. 4, 1952, when Rappahannock County went Republican for the first time in its history, giving a small margin to Ike Eisenhower for President. Little Washington, the county seat, has never deserted the Democratic Party. It talked belligerently of seceding from the county. So far nothing has come of this." —Phila.
