Rappahannock News, March 4, 1954

VOLUME 5—NUMBER 17 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY MORNING, MARCH 4, 1954 Price $2.00 PER YEAR T . m: <n*z •''■•! ,* .-jT ■• and CON KXXXXXX KXXXXX* Our hats are off to the citizens of Wakefield District when it comes to organizing and raising money for a worthwhile cause. Only three weeks ago they decided to organize their own fire department, and at a meeting last Tuesday night they had two thousand dollars promised toward purchasing the necessary equipment. If "any community in the county or any other county can beat that let’s hear from them. Our prediction is that when the ladies get their organization going, and start helping the firemen this new organization will be one of the strongest in the county, o o o o We had several answers to the question last week, but Mrs. Edna Wayland phoned in her answer at ten o'clock Thursday morning— according to our encyclopedia the first spoken word came over the radio giving the election returns in 1920, hut not until 1923 did a President use the radio—Warren G. Harding. Your question for this week is: What does the *S’ in e-President Truman’s name stand for? A free subscription to tine News for the first correct answer. * u u u u One thing that has puzzled me is how do the children at school get by with the Love Stories, Comic books, True Confessions and the like without'' the old-fashioned geography book to hide them behind? Of course everyone knows that a youngster is ingenious enough to figure out a solution, o o o o Sitting here now with a whackety-bang, whackety-bang going on around me all the time is quite a change from the modern u^-todate equipment that was on display down in Richmond last week end. With almost a complete print shop set up in the lobby of the John Marshall, jrou could hardly hear the machines running if you stood across the room. Really interesting to watch all those late . model machines in operation. o o o o I see where the Mississippi Legislature really has cracked down on drunk driving. They recently passed a bill making a mandatory five days to one-year jail sentence . upon conviction, and one day has to be served working on the jail grounds during daylight. Might be something in that for our lawmakers to ponder over. ft n ft On behalf of Rappahannock I would like to apologize to a gentleman from the Health Department who appeared before the Wednesday session of the Board of Supervisors and attempted to explain the reason for the increase in the money required from the local government, for the maintenance of a health department in ' Rapahannock. He was so rudely interrupted and dismissed by the chairman that I’m sure that his impression of us is anything but good. Our apologies to you, sir. This behavior isn’t typical of Rappahannock citizens, I hasten to add.

M. Chichester, Assistant Director of the local Health Service, discussed the Health Budget for 1954-55, various sheep claims were heard,,and many routine matters were discussed. Dr. Chichester explained that the necessity of having an increase in the local support of the Health Department, was a result of the decreased Federal funds available to the organization. The called-for increase of $800 can be spread over a three year period with a budget this year of $1917 instead of the previous $1650. Dr. Chichester went on to explain the manner in which the increase had been proportionately spread over the 98 counties in the state. The question of -whether state funds would be available if only a nurse was employed, was brought to Dr. Chichester’s attention. He answered that the state funds are available only if both a nurse and a sanitation officer are employed. Otherwise the county must carry the full salary of the nurse. Sheep claims from Roland Welch, Miss Virginia Tapp and Puller Hughes were examined and payment for the losses, approved. P. B. Coldiron, resident engineer, .asked that a public road hearing be called for the April meeting. A motion was made and carried to call the Piedmont Road Bond. A letter was read by Board member Campbell from State Delegate Frost, concerning the Board’s proposal to go on record as opposing -the driver’s license test which one must take annually after they have reached a certain age. The letter stated that a bill to this effect has passed the House and is now before the Senate. W. C. Campbell was appointed a committee of one to fix the step inside of the court house. Dangerous, in its present condition, the step will probably be eliminated, the hole filled in and an extra step will be added outside of the Court House. C. Ennis Brown was re-employed to investigate sheep claims. His salary was set at $50 a month, the job to be effective as long as the funds are available from the Dog Tax Fund. Any person who has a sheep killdd is asked to notify Game Warden C. Ennis Brown. The jail report was read and accepted. It was moved, seconded and carried that the roof to the chicken house at the jail be replaced. Various accounts against the county payable out of the General Fund were presented, examined and approved by the Board of Supervisors. CHURCH SERVICES Rev. Herbert R.

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 Where There's Smoke Therms Danger! By Paul W. Kearney {The following article is reprinted from The Readers Digest, August, 1953) In the famous Cleveland Clinic fire 24 years ago there was little flame above the basement, yet 125 victims died trom smoke poisoning. In the Hotel LaSalle catastrophe in Chicago in 1946 all 61 deaths were due to smoke. In the Boston Cocoanut Grove night-club episode in- 1942 there were few externa] burns, and only one broken bone, among the 492 \ictims. They were neither burned nor trampled to death: they were gassed. / Such a rectital could continue indefinitely. It can also be summud up by the conclusion of a National Fire Protection Association study a few years ago: 74 per cent of all dwelling-fire victims die upstairs from down-stairs fires—asphyxiated by toxic gases. The truth here is as vital to the householder as to the fire fighter: the burning of clothing and house furnishings — silk, wool, cotton, rayon, fur, leather, plastics, rubber, insulation, even newspapers— produces perhaps a dozen different toxic gases. Best known is carbon monoxide, which is particularly to be feared in attics, basements and closets, where limited air supply causes incomplete combustion. In addition to carbon monoxide there will probably be substantial proportions of such vapors as hydrocyanic-acid gas and hydrogen sulfide, both infinitely more deadly; plus ammonia, which is about as lethal as the dreaded CO. In New York a few years ago a woman dozed off with a cigarette in her hand while reading h erSunday newspaper. The cigarette fell into the papers on the floor, which took fire and wakens ed her. She dashed to the phone and called firemen. Then she tried to put out the blaze. When the firemen arrived the fire was out— and so was the woman. The burning papers generated enough gas to kill her. In Ohio a burning Christmas tree—quickly smothered with a rug—asphyxiated a baby sleeping upstairs in its crib although persons in the same room with the fire suffered no ill effects. Your nose does not know when smoke is dangerous. Automobileexhaust fumes smell bad, yet the most deadly portion of them is odorless. While burning gasoline seems ominous enough to most of us, fumes from burning wood can be more lethal. Also, the organ of smell plays tricks: the occupants of a room may be totally unaware of a gas odor which a person entering the room will immediately detect. Both carbon monoxide and hydrogen sulfide, however, give warning before striking: a headache. In a smoky atmosphere the onset of even a slight headache means: Get out! In a nonsmoky but closed room it suggests ventilation and checking for gas. The heaviest doses of carbon monoxide are usually found in the first stage of a fire—especially a slow starter—when the householder is mostlikely to be there. And two deep breaths of air containing only two per cent can kill in three minutes. i Don’t monqey around with a going fire, particularly a smoky one, in a cellar, attic or clothes closet. Shut the door on it and call the firemen. Don’t try to judge the danger of smoke by its color ordensity. “Thin” smoke can be very toxic, depending upon what’s burning. Forget the old adage that the {Washington ' as viewed by YOUR SENATOR A. WILLIS ROBERTSON SIGNPOSTS TO WATCH ON ECONOMIC OUTLOOK In his recent Economic Report to the Congress President Eisenhower expressed confidence that we • can make the transition to a period of reduced mobilization following the war in Korea without serious interruption of our economic growth. He attributed the lower current level of employment as compared with the same period last year to a slight contraction in business due mainly to less spending for additions to inventory. He added that our economic growth is likely to be resumed during this year. No economist claims we are headed for a depression but some do, not share the Presidents optimism that the present contraction in business is a temporary phase. The latter group does not think that we will go back to wartime boom levels, especially if the Administration continues its efforts in behalf of a balanced budget. They point to the fact that during the last year cash income of farmers dropped at least ten percent and that the twenty per cent of our population which is directly dependent on agriculture for its support received less than seven per cent of the total national income. And as author-farmer Louis Bromfield pointed out in a recent speech: “When' the farmer caftnot buy, men are out of work in our great industrial cities overnight, j I think it is fair to say that every i depression in this country since the j Civil War has begun when the farmer^ has not the money to go to town and buy.” lhis same theme was developed in more detail in an economic analysis made by Carl H. Wilkin who used Department of Commerce statistics •to show the correlation between drops in farm income and drops in national income. He concluded that every time from 1890 to 1950 when air nearest the floor is the coolest. It is, of course. But it is also loaded with distillation gases which, being heavier than air, seek the lowest level. Hydrogen sulfide is one of these. In the early stages of a fire the air you get in a crouched position is probably the least harmful. One help for getting through smoke is the knowledge of how to hold your breath properly. Most people just gulp in a single deep draught of fresh air, then hold it as long as possible—30 to 60 seconds. This is illogical, because it allows carbon dioxide to build up in the lungs, and C02 is what compels you to breathe. It is much better to overbreathe for a minute or two-—that is, inhale twice as deeply and twice as fast as normal. This expends your carbon dioxide so completely that you won’t want to breathe for an equivalent length of time. Even after the desire to exhale returns, you can hold your breath for the usual 30 to 60 seconds additional, if need be. Remember that carbon monoxide, even in slight doses, derails your reasoning power. It’s pathetic how many bodies firemen recover of those who, in blind unreason, dashed back into the house they’d just escaped from. So, above all, once you’re out of a burning building, never, go back! farm prices dropped below parity with the prices of all commodities, we had a depression. And he warned that the results of the current dislocation between raw material prices and consumer price levels, which are greater than at any time since the depression of the thirties, may merely have been postponed by deficit spending which has increased our national debt and is a mortgage against income of future year^. In the fiscal year commencing next July the Government intends to curtail it's buying by five billion dollars and it is not clear what consumer group will fill that ypid. Certainly it will not be bur fanners because no plan has yet been offered that gives promise of increasing farm prices. To cut present support prices would undoubtedly lower prices. All are agreed that some plan must be found to prevent unmanagable farm surpluses but many farm leaders think it unwise to cut farm price support and farm prices while the Government is still spending billions to aid both business and labor. It was pointed out to the Senate in a recent speech by Senator Young of North Dakota that while the 1954 budget allowed $520 million for “aids and special services-' to agriculture, the same budget provided $1,003 million for aids and services to business and $222 million for aids and services to labor. So, while we need to find a way of reducing future losses from agricultural support programs, I believe we are justified in moving careful^ not only forthe sake of the farmer but to avoid a repetition of what happened in the 1929-32 period when a drop of 54.7 per cent in national income and a cut back of 47 percent in industrial production. Our goal should be, as the President said in his economic message, “an increasing national income, shared equitably among those who contribute to its growth, and achieved in dollars of stable buying power.” The Raising of Lazarus John 11 By Rev. G. M. Profxtt John wrote by the selective method, that is he chose certain' signs and sayings of Jesus to prove Him as the Son of God that all who reads his writing might believe and be saved. Here is the 11th chapter he presents the last of the signs and also another of the famous sayings. The raising of Lazarus is the greatest and climatical of all Jesus’ piracies outside of His own resurrection. The first 27 verses of this chapter relates the sickness of Lazarus, the anxiety of the sisters and the general incidents leading up to the final sign that of the raising of Lazarus from the dead after he has been in the tomb 4 days and decomposition has already set in. The remainder of the chapter tells the story of the raising of Lazarus and what effect it had upon Ihose present. There was as usual a division among the people, some believed while others ran to tell the Pharisees Tale bearers. Now Jesus had often visited in this home and the three, Mary, Martha, and Lazarus loved Him and He in turn loved them. It was perfectly natural for tjiem to think of Jesus first when disaster struck. They knew if He were present, death would not occur. So they sent word suggesting Him to come to their aid, but did not make it manditatory, that is they left the decision up to Jesus which is as it should be. After receiving the news of the sickness, Jesus chose to remain two days more before going to Lazarus. Now Jesus kneew Lazarus was already dead when the messenger arrived,''but in order to substantuate His claims which He had previously made as bejng the Son of God, He waited so the body would be in a decomposed state and the people would then know that a higher power than man raised it up. They would have to believe that at least He was working in cooperation with the Father. We know Lazarus had died before the messenger arrived since it took a da/ to g$t over to Pered where Christ was and He then waited tw6 days more plus a 4th day going to them and Martha’s remark of 4 days at the Tomb. When He approached the home, Martha heard of His coming and went to meet Him. Here we see some evidence of her resentment toward Christ because He didn’t com! immediately. She, however, went and told her sister, Mary, and then when she came, she fell at the feet of Jesus expressing her faith as well as manifesting her grief. When Jesus saw this, He also wept. He wept because of the cause of this sorrow and gref. That is, death is the result of sin and all human suffering and sorrow is connected one way or another with sin. He also identified Himself with their grief and then moved on to the tomb. Now .in His conversation with Martha, Jesus declared: “I am the resurrection and the life; he that believeth in me though he were dead yet shall he live.’’ This means that where ever Jesus is there is no death, but resurrection. That is, if we are believers in Him we don’t die spiritually. Though we die physically, that is merely the door way through which we pass frcAn this limited life into the eternal and unlimited life (Continued on P«|« 3) Washington Theatre Shows: 7:15 and 9:00 P.M.

He is life in every sense of the meaning of the Word. The question is often asked why He prayed aloud at the tomb and called Lazarus in a loud voice. The prevailing practice of the witches or soothe sayers of the timfe practiced mumbling in a low tone so no one could understand their sayings. So Jesus to show that He was n cooperaton with God, prayed aloud to Him and then called L.azarus m words all could hear and understand. He spoke to Lazarus individually, and in an expectant mood for He knew him to be alive and not dead, that is his spirit was in heaven. Lazarus responded immediately and this miracle produced the division, some believed because of Lazarus, others ran to tell the tale. The Pharisees began to seek the greater to kill Jesus and finally accomplished their task about 4 to 6 weeks after this event. Now Jesus is waiting to identify Himself with you in your sorrow or what ever your troubles may be if you will only tell Him of it. He understands our perplexities and afflictions and stands ready to hdtpi if we will only give Him a chance. He may not remove them, but He always gives us grace to bear them. FREE! FREE! FREE!

ADiscusses Mentally Retarded Around 25 parents and other interested persons attended the Tuesday night session of the Rappahannock County High School ParentsTeachers Association. Mrs. Leslie Fox Keyser, known around Rappahannock as “Miss Leslie” spoke on the Mentally Retarded. In several hours of informal discussions, the group emphasized the importance of studying a child’s background, his home life. Many times a child termed mentally retarded is simply an underpriviledged child and with the proper guidance he will flourish into a normal condition. Retarded or underpriviledged, the need for counseling is there, often under the surface. Behavior is caused and the causes are multiple, complex and interrelated.
