Rappahannock News, February 11, 1954

SOME OBSERVATIONS PRO and CON This week I received a card from a subscriber in Washington, D.C. stating that her paper did not reach her as soon as she had been receiving it previously. The paper goes in the post office at the same time that it has ever since we have been publishing it. Of course for several years we had an efficient post office department in Washington, D.C., and mail was delivered fairly regular. But, for the past few months with the new regime, mail may go anywhere before it is delivered to addressee. Only this week we received a letter from Richmond with a stamp on it stating: “missent to Arlington, Va.”, and another one postmarked from Culpeper stamped thus: “missent to Brightwood, Va.” So. Dear Subscriber please bear with us for a while and maybe in a few years we will make another change in Washington, D.C., and be able to get our mail on time. o o o o Last week’s question was answered by Miss Dorothy Thompson of Sperryville, who phoned in the correct answer around 1 o’clock Thursday evening. “The common plant known as the dandelion received its name from the fact that the jagged edges of its leaves are popularly fancied to resemble the teeth of the lion. Dandelion is a sixteenth century English corruption of the French dent de lion, literally "lion's tooth,” the name the plant bears in several European languages. The dandelion was introduced into the U. S. from Europe Irs roots, like those of chicory, are sometimes used as a substitute for coffee*. o o o o Your question for the week is: To whom is the saying “Trust in God and Keep your Powder dry”, attributed—and the approximate date it was said. (The first answer will receive a one-year subscription to the News. o o o o The members of the Rescue Squad are determined to have oxygen equipment in the rescue car. During their three-week campaign for contributions a little over $300 has been realized. They are still about $150 short of their goal, so if you wish to contribute to this worthy cause just send your contribution to C. T. Bruce, treasurer. Washington, Va.

Giro To Th« Hurt Fund “Clean-Up Day" Set For April 20 In their February meeting, held in the court house Tuesday night, the Washington Town Council declared April 20 to be clean up day and dogwood day. They urge everyone to make special plans for cleaning up the town and for planting dogwood throughout the community. This day will add to the clean attractiveness of the town as well as to the beauty of the individual’s property. A committee was appointed to contact P. B. Coldiron, Highway Engineer, about repairing the culvert on the corner of Main and Porter and the one on the corner of Main and-Jett. 1 » Two members of the Ladies’ Auxiliary to the Washington Fire Company appeared before the council to report that the stove which they had bought and maintained in the Town Hall had been taken down. (The Auxiliary had been advised to take the stove down, as it was considered dangerous due to a defect.) A suggestion was brought forth that a heating element could be obtained that would heat both the down stairs and the hall in the Fire House. Mayor Davis appointed a committee to contact the firemen and discuss a method of central heating. The council moved not to pay half of the price of erecting a fence from the Baggarly line to the Moffett Office. They voiced the opinion that money was needed for more urgent improvements in the town. A move was made that the Council cooperate with the Forest Service and move the signs, “Keep Virginia Green and Washington Clean,” to better locations within the town,-—. It was voted by the Council to increase the fire insurance on the fire house from $2000 to $3000. Following a discussion of April 20 as plean up day, the council adjourned. Wesley W.

Mrs. B. J. Wood presented an interesting program on the subject for the night “Mirgranls.” Flint Hill Delegation Proposes Better Fire Protection Friday night, a large delegation from the Flint Hill-Huntly area appeared before a called meeting of the Washington Fire Company, to request more adequate fire protection for their communities. The called meeting was for the purpose of discussing the purchasing of a new fire truck. After the delegation, consisting of at least 50 persons, presented their case to the company, an idea was brought forward: “The Flint HillHuntly gfotip should join hands with the Washington Firemen and form one large organization. The Washington Fire Company would purchase the truck under discussion and place it in the Flint Hill .community. The Flint Hill Firemen would be responsible for buying hose and other necessities to ready the truck. Flint Hill would appoint an assistant Chief. Though operated by the Flint Hill firemen the truck would remain the property of the Washington Fire Company. This would insure both the Flint Hill and the Washington communities of double protection. One truck could be relied on to back the other,, in case of fire in either area. The group elected a committee to buy the fire truck, and adjourned to make their separate plans. Each would have a meeting in their individual community and then, in a joint meeting later, offer their acceptance or rejection of the proposed plan. _MI£S MASStE HONORED Mrs. Robert L. Massie and Mrs. M. R. Bradford Jr., were joint hostesses at a miscellaneous shower given in honor of Miss Mary Massie Lea, at Cab Inn, Friday evening at eight o’clock.

Above the table was suspended a large red umbrella with small package, as raindrops, falling from its sides.

RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At Washington, Rappahannock County Virginia DIAL WASHINGTON 2851 — —— 11 — ■ --— T Entered as second-class mail matter at the post office at Washington, Virginia SUBSCRIPTION: (in advance) _r- $2.00 a year Letter To The Editor Dear Sir: Not for many years has Virginia faced so many critical needs. These include more and better schools; higher salaries for school teachers; more and better hospitals and sanitoria; care and education for mentally retarded and physically handicapped children; safe highways and other services for the safety, health and welfare of all of our citizens. Unfortunately, at no time in recent years has the General Assembly of Virginia been in a less favorable position to appropriate adequately for these needs. In spite of this, we may see almost $1,000,000 spent by the 1954 General Assembly for a building in Richmond that would provide free offices for certain veterans’ organizations; provide an auditorium of benefit primarily to Richmonders; and serve as c& amine, x ms auueiuie la iu lic <x memorial to World War II veterans. Now, the heroic services of Virginians in this State should be recognized and appreciated by our Commonwealth, but in so doing, we should be satisfied beyond all reasonable doubt the proposed Memorial adequately and suitably accords such recognition and appreciation. The General Assembly of Virginia has never directed a study of the proposed Memorial. Many valid reasons have been advanced by many representatives organisations, including veterans’ groups, for such a study to be undertaken before spending $1,000,000 for a shrine in Richmond in face of the State’s other pressing needs. Accordingly a resolution calling for this study has been introduced in the General Assembly. | It should be made clear that the study resolution is not an effort to ‘kill” the proposed Memorial. While there are some of us who do oppose the proposed Memorial'as'1)eTng~uh suitable, our opposition would be allayed if a commission of the Legislature, after a full study, found the proposed Memorial to be in all respects suitable. We do not see how a study can be harmful. Time is not of the essence in building the memorial. If the proposed Memorial is found to be suitable, the study will at least have removed the cloud which will be attached to it if it is built in face of the present objections. If the study finds the proposed Memorial to be unsuitable, then its construction should not be urged. Some of the reasons why so many organizations and individuals oppose the expenditure of $1,000,000 at this time for a shrine in Richmond are: (1) The shrine, and the auditorium in particular, will serve Richmond principally and not all of the citizens of the State who will pay for it; (2) The Memorial will provide at the expense of the taxpayers, free office space for a select group of veterans’ organizations; (3) The State headquarters of the Adjutant General of Virginia and the National Guard of Virginia and the Division of War Veterans’ Claims will be housed in the Memorial in contravention of the established State policy of eventually locating all State offices in the vicinity of the Capitol Square; (4) Many veterans and their families oppose this type of Memorial; and (5) A decision should be made prior to the construction of the proposed Memorial to determine the best method and means for according proper recognition and appreciation to the veterans of the Korean -War. Within the next four or five weeks the General Assembly of Virginia will determine the kind and mount of schools, roads, hospitals and vital services we are tq have. It will also determine how much is.to be raised from taxes. There is approximately (1,000,000 - I-’, ?.... Sunday-School Lesson John 7-8 By Rev. G. M: Profitt The Sunday School lesson for Feb. 14 covers chapters 7 and 8 of John. This is a very important lesson in that Jesus asserts His Diety and also claims to be the Light of the World. He also manifested Himself as the way to true freedom and the sinless one. The one eternal and always in cooperation with the Father., Each succeeding chapter of John’s Gospel reveals more and more the fact that Jesus is the Son of God. Our lesson gives us Jesus’ own interpretation of Himself in that He explained Himself as the water of Life and illustrated His point by the symbolic use of the pouring of water at the feast. For 7 days during the feast they carried water from the Kedron or some other place and poured it out around the Temple as a sjriliuv/l UI VJUU Supplying uicir I1CCU of water while in the Wilderness, but on the 8th day of the feast this was omitted showing that they were now settled in the land of promise and no longer needed the supernatural water supplied them while wondering in the desert. So Jesus took his position by.the Temple on the 8th day of the feast and declared Himself to be the source of that supernatural supply of water in the desert and also even more, He is the source of life in this world as well as the source of Eternal life. He also declared Himself to be able to quinch even thirst of man or need of man whether it be in the realm of the spiritual, a passion for purity and power, or whether it be in the region of the effectional nature. He is able to supply every need of man if we will only look to Him. Now as to the Light of the world He also manifested Himself as the real source of light and we see a —perfect -exafo&le-of—what He meant when He was on the Cross and the Father turned His back upon Him and He became sin for Plan’s transgressions. There was a period of darkness such as the world has never seen before or ever shall see, showing what it meant to have the true light taken out of th world. In the declaration of Himself as the Light of the world He was reminding them of the pillar of fire which led the people through the wilderness and that He is the guide which will guide us through the journey and wandering of life. The pillar of fire symbolized God’s presence, but Jesus was God’s real presence. He is the true interpretation of God, of life, holiness and the only true answer of man for truth. He can solve our every problem if we will only trust Him to do so. This witness of Himself brought a division,among the listeners, some believed and others sought to slay Him. There are always those who are too blinded by prejudice, sin and tradition to understand the Lord’s teachings, but the encouraging thing is that there are always those who are filling to believe and cast themselves upon Him. These are the real happy people and the real salt of the earth. will have an opportunity to make recommendations after a two-year study. If you will Inform your elected which can be made available immediately by postponing any decision on the construction of the proposed Memorial until it can be thoroughly studied. ' It is not often that taxpayers have the opportunity of providing almost $1,000,000 for themselves and their State. The resolution calling for a restudy of the whole World War II Memorial question has been introduced in the General Assembly by a , number of its members, most0 of whom are veterans themselves. If thivresolution is adopted, the VirvAfivisory Legislative\ Council . itives in the General1 Assem RAPP - OHATS .By: W. H. Lynt County Agent -Hugh _H ender son, Associate Extension Animal Husbandman of V. F7T, says the lack of bull lots or the lack of using the lot on hand is the greatest bugaboo in Rappahannock’s Beef Cattle industry which is essentially feeder calf production. WHY . . — A study of Virginia Feeder Calf Sales for the past ten ^years reveals the average Virginia calf has weighted more than- the average calf consigned to the Rappahannock sale every year but one! Our average per head calf weight for the ten-year period is 16.4 lbs. less than the state average. Rappahannock’s calves are high quality and have sold well . . . what we need to do is get our calves coming earlier so as to have calf on the scale comes weaning or sale time. Our calves are high quality and in good condition indicating good breeding stock and good pastures. We sell by the pound . . not by the head. Aim at no more calves born after April 1st. expecting those from 1st calf heifers. The purebred breeder sells by the head and therefore has less reason to be as concerned about getting early calves. He will be content i© get a calf a year . . little it matters what month it may be born in. Research shows calves bom in February to weigh 50 more pounds by Oct. 15 than calves born in March, March calves are 45 lbs. heavier than April calves, April calves 35 lbs. greater than May calves. Therefore we need concern ourselves primarily with calving dates! Based upon these facts, our 1949 Beef Cow population (3440 head) and last fall’s Feeder Calf Sale prices income to Rappahannock cow herd owners would be $7616.16 greater if we could have our calves coming but two weeks earlier and get feeder calves to market from 90% of our cows!, Now that sort of increased income is not to be sneezed at during our present cost and price trends. What can be done??? Buy a good registered bull'that is growthy for his age. The more rapid grining bulls are most likely to sire more rapid gaining calves, Remember it takes 50% more tcT wThTe r~feed a bull than it does a cow. Run him with the cows during March, April, May and June. Better yet aim at a 90 day breeding period. Comes first of July put the head man in a lot to himself. Such a practice will tell you which cows are shy breeders, therefore too expensive to keep. Get rid of the shy breeders. Then too by putting your herd sire to himself. You will eliminate the chance of having some of those nice replacement heifers getting bred too young—eliminate the calfy heifer problem in feeder calf sales and thereby maintain more buyer good-will. Good-will may mean success—the lack of it failure. Keep only the cows that are good milkers, easy keepers, those that breed readily, and are representative of their breed type in both color and body make up. Keep on the look-out for disease—try to avoid trouble before it strikes. If reproductive trouble strikes get your veterinarian to check over the herd. Bangs is not only reproductive disease. Bangs has little influence on rate of conception. Failure of heifers to settle has never conclusively been traced to calf-hood vaccination against brucellosis—vaccinate replacement against this disease at 4 to 8 months of age—preferably at 6 months. •If you have a forty-cow herd keep six heifers for herd replacement each year. Keep the best heifers—those bly and ask them to support this study resolution, you will be able to say truly that you have had a part in making immediately available almost $1,000,000 to help meet the State’s many pressing needs. \l Yours* sincerely, Fred G.

Cochran Delegate from Staunton Can You Believe? :l' Rev. H. G. Tkach Can you believe it is possible to live by faith? “Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.” Heb. 10:38. ^■nall live implies more than just existence, it implies ~that~one— “shall thrill, enjoy, and respond to life in a great way. One begins to live in a very different sense when he falls in love. Where he was just existing he now thrills to the# very thought of holding his object of love. It takes food, shelter, medical care, and clothes to exist in our society today. These things feed and protect our physical bodies. The man who does not possess any faith in himself to provide himself and his family these necessities continues to exist in some fashion, but one would not say he is living in the true sense. One lives by faith—faith in his creaturehood, faith in his Creator, faith in his Creator’s concern for his welfare (he sees this concern more completely in God’s action in and through Jesus, the Christ). One also lives when he has faith in other people. God and man find pleasure in associating with a person that remains faithful. It is true as' the writer puts it, “. . . . but if any man draw back (loses faith in himself, God, and others) my soul shall have no pleasure in him.” As you go to and fro in the world today, are you living or are you just existing?

A Tax Increase If the proposal to suspend thfe automatic tax reduction law is adopt-. 1 ed by the Virginia legislature it will mean a 12 per cent increase in the State’s income tax. State Senator Harry Flood Byrd Jr. warned recently. The truth of his statement is easily discernible from the following facts: The automatic tax redaction law has been in effect in Virginia for —three yearsr It ha? resulted in saving the taxpayers 20 million dollars. The first year it operated, the reduction amounted to 20 per cent, the second year 9 per cent, and last year the cut was 6 per cent. The law operates in this fashion. If there is a surplus in the State’s treasury at the end of the fiscal year after alT annual expenses have been paid, a formula automatically calls for a reduction in income taxes. The fiscal year ends June 30. The announcement of the amount of surplus is made in August after all tabulations on revenue and expenditures have been completed, and the reduction is noted on the tax bills due in December. W hen the budget for the next two years was presented at the opening of the present session of the legislature it was estimated that at the end of this fiscal year there would be a surplus of $7,000,000. If the tax reduction law is not tampered with, this will mean that there will be a 12% reduction in the income taxes in December. However, some members of the legislature are proposing to do away with the tax reduction and to earmark the estimated $7,000,000 for more schools or other pet projects dear to the heart of vote-seeking politicians. In the first place, the budget is sufficient as it now stands to meet all the major needs of the State and to provide large increases in some departments. For instance, the new budget proposed to increase the appropriations for mental health by 25 per cent, to hike the bill for public health by 44 per cent and add 16 per cent to the schools. In the second place, the $7,000,000 figure is just an estimate. It may turn out to be more or less. If it is less and the legislature obligates the State for the full amount, there will be a deficit. I f it is more than is appropriated, the balance of the money will remain in the treasury to be used by the politicians on more pet projects in future years. In either I have been wonderfully blessed in being restored to active life after being crippled in nearly every joint in my body and with muscular soreness from head to foot. I had Rheumatoid Arthritis and other forms of Rhrumatism, hands deformed and my ankles were set. Limited space prohibits telling you more here but if you will write me I will reply at once and tell you how I received this wonderful relief. Mrs. Lela S. Wier 2805 Arbor Hilts Drive' P. O.
