Rappahannock News, March 18, 1954

Shades of Houdini—If you don’t believe there is a magician in the county you should have seen Bill Varner this week figuring out the system of wiring on our new press. When the press came in the wiring had been taken loose and not marked. Bill had to figure out the complicated way the* wires ran from the main switch to the speed control box, thence to the switch that makes the press go back or forward, then to an automatic safety switch that will stop the press if anything goes hay-wire. It was too complicated for me to * even watch him so I just left him ^lone knowing full well that the ele<firiqal part would be ok. <0000 Mrs. J. Frank Jones answered the question of last week — the first Confederate flag was the “Stars and Bars”, two red bars with one white bar, seven white stars on a blue field. It was first raised at Montgomery, Alabama, March 4, 1861 by Miss L. C. Tyler of Virginia, a granddaughter of ex-President Tyler. The question for this week is: , What is the proposed expenditure for public schools in Virginia for the next two years? o o n o The following poem was contributed, and we hope you will -enjoy it as much as we have. “Budding Life” By John D. Coatlow Springtime—and a baby red; Blossoms, pink toes, curly head; These are the things that bring us joy. ' ■ * * Purest Gold—without alloy. Daffodils and jonquils grand Bloom to beautify the land; Greater beauty we may see In a child at Mother’s knee. Violets in a shady nook Peep at us along the brook Dancing eyes, Oh, what a pair! Violets can’t with them compare. Tulips red and pink and white, Thrill us with great delight; Little mouth we love to kiss Fills us with a greater bliss. Pussywillows, oh, so sleek, How we love them on our cheek; But a baby's soft carress Smooths away life’s cares and stress. God made them both, and both are sweet, % Little buds and pattering feet; Pure and wondrous—undefiled, Springtime flowers—a little child. WJ5.C.S.

Committees will be established and the ladies auxiliary, churches, and other organizations will be asked to help. All those living within a 10-mile radius of the firehouse will be approached through the mail or in person. President Thqmas Tear of the fire department declared that the new fire engine was desperately needed. “We've got to have new equipment, and I hope everybody will get behind it," he said. “One bad fire can cost the community much more than the price of a new engine, besides causing terrible distress to some family and maybe even loss of life.” Fire Chief Charles Compton confirmed the fact that Iboth of Amissville’s two old engines were inadequate for proper fire protection to the community. . “Our old engine just can’t be relied on,” he said. “We’ve never sure when we start out for a fire whether we’ll get there. We’ve got a fine firehouse allright, but that doesn’t put out fires, we need a good engine.” Department members reported that no breakdown on the road had yet occurred, but Assistant Fire Chief Elmer Jenkins expressed the opinion that they had been Iticky, so far. The motor in the light Ford truck was “just about on its last legs,” he said The Amissville department started “ operations last year with two old trucks for which it paid only $200 and $50 respectively* one being a discard by the Round Hill V.F.D. and the other a condemned piece of apparatus from the District of Columbia. The Round Hill V.F.D. discard, a light Ford, has been the main reliance of the department, as the old Seagrave from the District of Columbia was found unsuitable for country road and field work almost from the beginning. Subsequently a special committee of officers and members of the department, looking into the possibility of another good used fire truck, decided that the best policy would be purchase of new equipment instead of taking chances with old apparatus. Trial Justice Cases The Commonwealth versus William Douglas Parker, for assault and battery; fined1 $10 and costs. The Commonwealth versus Frank-, lin Delano “Bill”’ Dodson, charged with having no operator’s license; fined $5 and coats. The Commonwealth versus Early Jenkins; charged with having no operator’s license; fined $5.and costs. The Commonwealth versus James Allen Baddeley; charged with reckless driving; fined $15 and costs.

Wind Fans Spark; Duncan Property Burned A spark from several brush fires, burned Wednesday night, ignited and was blown by the high wind Thursday evening to the neighboring property of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Duncan in Amissville causing considerable damage to several fields. The Amissville Fire Company was on hand in a matter of minutes, and-with the help of neighbors who got ahead of the fire, it was halted before reaching the nearby woods. Mr. and Mrs. Duncan wish to thank the Amissville Fire Company for their prompt arrival and also numerous friends who came to their aid. (Though the fire was stopped before extensive damage could be caused, the potential power unleahed in the flames brought home to the .firefighters the danger of carelessness with brush fires.)'* Hawthorne District Leads In Red Cross Drive With a total of $234.62 contributed in the initial half of the annual Red Cross Drive in Rappahannock County we are far below die goal of $1,120.

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 SUMMARY OF GENERAL ASSEMBLY (By Edward H. Swain) Virginia’s 1954 General Assemblytagged at various times during the session as “do-nothing” or “hard" working” body—set some sort of record in its closing weekend with a 36-hour final "day” and a compromise victory for the “Young Turk” Boothe amendment to the appropriations bill. After long hours of deadlock, and at almost the time that both houses appeared ready to give up and adjourn until March 31 without passing a budget bill, the settlement and adjournment came in three vote-filled minutes. The compromise—which came alter five joint conference groups had tussled with all kinds of figures and ideas—puts $2,186,500 from the estimated $7,000,000 in Byrd automatic tax credit money into the 195456 budget. The rest of the money will go back to Virginia taxpayers as credit on their income tax payments. Byrd Loads Fight “Compromise” is the true word for the action. As the fight started, the Boothe amendment Jbackers wanted all of the $7,000,000 put in the state budget. Opposed to diverting any of the money were the administration forces led by State Senator Harry F. Byrd, Jr.N As finally passed at about 10:45 p.m. Sunday the $2,186,500 will be distributed this way: A total of $1,000,000 for teachers' salaries, $324,000 for Lynchburg State Colony, $200,000 for the University of Virginia Hospital, $375,■ 000 for William and Mary’s Norfolk - Division Library,, $137,000 for, Radford College, $125,000 for armories in the State and $25,000 for Virginia Military Institute. The $2,186,500 will be a part of the nearly $267,000,000 general fund budget for the 1954-56 biennium. second conference committee on the appropriations bill jn the Assembly windup. He, along with Delegates Shirley Holland and J. L. Whitehead, all appropriations committee members, were named by the House about 11 p.m. Saturday. The House “requested” this group to insist upon use of some of the $7,000,000 of tax credit funds in the budget. This was the group that tried until 1:20 a.m. Sunday to reach some agreement. In the House, itself, Mr. Frost voted from the beginning against efforts ttr “tap” the tax refund money. Digest of Bills The final compromise marked the end of a session and of a final week that saw much action: This included passage of such measures as: A seed (bill which provides that untested home-grown seeds may be advertised on radio and telvision in addition to newspapers and signs, and' that it may be transported in —commercial-vehicles if the containers are plainly marked “This seed has not been tested." This was a compromise approved by the State Department of Agriculture. A bill making it unlawful for a , manufacturer to have in his possession any dogwood that was cut from a tree of less than six inches in diameter at the base. Senator Byrd introduced the measure and it was handled in the House by Mr. Frost. Two bills to tighten absent voting A bill authorizing the State Department of Agriculture to sell as well as produce vacine for Bang’s Disease. 1 Permisson for a maximum interest rate of 4 per cent on State Literary Fund Loans instead of the present 2 per cent at the discretion of the State Board of Education. Prohibition of the feeding of y garbage to hogs unless authorization is granted by the State Department of ^Agriculture in line with its efforts to Letter To The Editor ' ' TIME TO START *SPRUCING UP” I would like to encourage every citizen to kelp with alf types beautification of our towns and roadsides.

Right- To Work Law_ delegate Tom Frost voted with the 61 House memibers who voted “yes” in the approval of the Stanley administration backed changes to the Right-to-Work law. There were 38 votes against the measures, which were bitterly opposed by labor. A Senate measure—sponsored by Senators John A. K. Donovan, Charles R. Fenwick and W. Marvin Minter—that would have permitted Federal employees to hold local offices if the plan was agreed to in local referendums, the measure mainly concerned Arlington, was killed in the House. Delegate Frank P. Moncure delivered a stinging attack against the measure in a speech in which he said the practice would see the state “so permeated with outside influences that you won’ recognize it 10 years from now." The measure was killed by the House on a 51-33 vote. Among those who voted against the measure was Delegate Frost. Jesus Faces The Cross John 11:55-12:50 G. M. Profitt We have . here another one of John’s recorded phases of Jesus ministery which is very important from many standpoints. The Pharises have allowed tradition to blind their eyes spiritually and also kill their capacity for compassion. These religious leaders saw in Jesus only a competitor drawing the people away from them unto' Himself and so* they sought to kill Him. In Chapter 11:54-12 : J reveals Jesus withdrawal into the wilderness country and then verses 12:1-10, we" see Him in Bethany for the supper with Martha, Mary and Lazarus. Here we see Martha still serving, but she is quite different nov^ to her first picture of murmuring. Here she serves at least 17 people without a murmur Then in versus 11-19 we see Him in Jerusalem on -His Triumphal entrj and cleansing again of the Temple. The remainder of the chapter deals with the coming of the Greeks and their desire to see Jesus and His answer to them. Now John has chosen 3 things and presented them to us in this 12 chap-, ter which is very important to each of us. The Supper at Bethany, the triumphal entry and the coming of the Greeks. The Supper took place 6 days before the passover and it is_ here we can get the contrast between Judas and his attitude of selfishness and the attitude of Mary and her love inspired devotion. While Mary is sympathetic and understandng, Judas is resentful and critical. Mary understood, as no other person, the sorrow of the heart of Jesus and so she took the ointment and anointed Him with it so He would know she understood. We see this revealed in Jesiis own words in verses 7-8. Some sought to kill Lazarus also because his return from the dead had caused some to believe on Jesus. This 4 is a tragic revelation, but it is always true when a person gets resentful about something, they take their spite out on the person whom they think caused the trouble when usually the trouble really lies within their own lives. This hostility as begun here is only a mere revelation of the hostility against God, by the world, as it is revealed in Christ. The world is ever trying to get rid of God as' Christ revealed Him. In the 12th verse Jesus starts upon His final ministry and revelation of His mission in the flesh. Here He enters the city in Kingly fashion and in the name of peace. The little animal upon which He rode symbo- - lized peace, a horse symbolized war. Here Jesus accepted their worship and thereby manifested His true identity as the Messiah. * The verses 20-32 reveals the story of the coming of the Greeks and Jesus answer to their question. Now in this paragraph there are two things to notice: The question of the Greeks and the answer Jesus gave to them. These Greeks were Gentile —proselytes, possibly from Galilee since— they seem to have known Philip. Philip in turn brings them to Andrew and they both bring the Greeks to Jesus. These Greeks had embraced Judiasm, but failed to find the satisfaction they sought for in their hearts and so they came seeking the fulfilling of this desire in an interview with Jesus. _Jesu> responded by saying, v. 23, Washington Theatre Shows: 7:15 and 9:00 P.M.

JESUS FACES-—from pa|« 2 His answer with a grain of wheat, as it is planted in the ground and dies that more wheat may arise therefrom. This of course signified His'death And resurrection and the sending of the Holy Spirit that unlo all men as the Holy Spirit dwells in and through ns. > Now these Greeks ram? to see the Messiah, but since there had been no Messiah promised the Gentiles they could not see and understand Him until after his death and resurrection. Then the Holy Spirit could make Him known unto all men. Take the grain of wheat, we can see it and yet we can t, but drop it into the earth and then appears the blade, the .stalk and then the head but yet we couldn't see the life of the plant. The same is true of Christ. He is supernatural and did not sin, neither did He have to 'die, but He chose the cross and died a voluntary death -for all people that we who have to die can pass from death unto eternal life. In verse 26, Jesus said, “If any , man serve Me, let him follow Me,” meaning if anyone is to see Him they must come His way, that is the way of death and the cross and enter into eternal life. Then we hear Him praying and heaven again breaks the silence the 3rd time on His behalf. After His prayer the crowd is divided and unable to agree about Him Then again in verse 31, He cries, the cry of victory, the world is guilty and the process of the casting out of (Satan) Prince of this world is begun. This is a process spoken of in Gen. 3:15 and is continuing on even now. It will be closed when Satan is cast into the pit in Revelation. Verse 32 reveals • the way of his casting out is done and this lifting up also includes His resurrection, accension and the intercessory work for us. “I will draw all men unto myself,” doesn’t mean that human history and redemption. All who believe on Him ' will be saved of course, but those who reject will not. Now in verse 39-40 is a definite statement that God blinded their eyes and that it is in accordance to prophecy in Isaiah. Yes, God does ratify man’s decisions. He will strive with a sinner for a while, but when that person finally turns his back on God, God accepts that person’s decision. Our Lord claimed a definite relationship of Sonship to God and manifested His love through the cross for us.

Discusses Old Age Assistance More than half of the persons receeiving Old Age Assistance in Virginia are seventy-five years old or older, and ten per cent are over eighty-five, Mrs. M. Elizabeth Buntin Superintendent of the Rappahannock County Welfare department .reported today. •These and other facts concerning Old Age Assistance client were brought out in a study of this part of the public assistance program just released by the Department of Welfare and Institutions, the Superintendent said. The .study found that requirement of old people were greater in metropolitan areas, where rents were greater, and city residents had more cash income available, but rural residents had more “income in kind,” and more toital income. Cash and other income are considered in making old age assistance grants, the Superintendent said. Throughout the state, the average recipient of Old Age Assistance had total income of $13.11, about onethird of what was considered his basic need. Assistance payments averaged $26.55, about 61 per cent of the requirements, leaving an average of about ten per cent, or $4.25, unmet by any source. Half of these on the rolls, evep with the payments from old age assistance, have less than enough to meet their basic minimum needs. Among the other facts brought out in the study, the Superintendent reported: Three-fourths of the aged on the rolls are able to care for themselves ■ the other fourth are bedridden, or require considerable care from others because of physical or mental impairments ; More than eighty per cent of the total are over seventy years old; Two thirds of them are women; iSixty per cent are white; Over seventy per cent live in “nonmetropolitan areas”; More than half live in their own homes (this means that the recipient has primary responsibility for managing the home, rather than ownership, the Superintendent explained); One out of five lives alone. Of all die groups studied, Mrs. Buntin said, those living in cities in non-metropolitan areas (10,000-49,999 population) fared best. Their requirements were the third highest, their income highest, their old age assistance payments third highest and their unmet need the lowest of all groups. Virginia’s Old Age Assistance payments are the lowest in the nation, RUBY’S, BEAUTY SHOP i NOW OPEN Experienced Operator WORK GUARANTEED RUBY CANNON CASTLETON, VIRGINIA v PHONE CULPEPER—GRAYSON 2122 the Superintendent said. “This does not necessarily mean a lower percentage of need being met,” Mrs. Buntin said, “as cash income and income in kind represents thirty per cent of the total requirements for these aged people.” Each state, she said, sets its own standards of assistance and rules of eligibility for public assistance. The law requires that responsible relatives.contribute to die support of their needy parents, in Virginia. Guide Sheet, Available For Social Security A special guide sheet to hdp selfemployed persons in correctly reporting their net income for social security tax purposes is now available, Miss Henrietta Mode, Field Representative of the Alexandria social security office, announced today. This leaflet, “Helpful Guides on Reporting Your Self-Employment Tax,” he said, has been issued by the Federal income tax forms. Pointing out that social security benefits payable to a self-employed person and his family in his old age, or to his dependents in case of his death, are based on earnings credited to his social security account, Miss Mode stressed the importance of correct reporting. “It costs the worker as well as the Government additional time and expense when an incomplete or incorrect return has to be ^straightened out,” she declared. This guide to accurate reporting of self-employment net income is available for the asking at the Alexandria social security office, or may be ob* ' tained at any branch office of the Internal Revenue Service. Miss Mode urges all self-employed persons whose trade or business is recovered by social security to get a copy bfore making out their 1953 Federal income tax form. The social security tax is of 2\4 per cent must •be paid at the time the form is filed on or before March 15. A Beatuiful October Marriage The following account was sent in by Mrs. T. F. Atkins of Sperryville, who found the clipping, yellow with age, in her attic. We quote, 'T (thought it would «be interesting for your paper as all the folks in it are old people from Washington and it would at least let the modern folks see what a true marriage really means.” Immanuel as a bridegroom and. of the church as His bride. In all lands, from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same, from he Orient to the most distant isles of •the sea, from the frosted homes of the Polar world to the simple tent stretched upon tropical sards, the marriage vow is the most sacred obligation known among men. It is honored alike by prince and peasant, and both the poet and prose writer agree with Hiawatha that like the earth without the sun, so useless each without the other is man and “that one who is to halve his sorrows and double his joys.” This morning at 10:30 o'clock there was solemnized at the Baptist church in this place a most brilliant October marriage. The contracting parties were Miss Annie Washington Jones* » the accomplished daughter of Mr. and . Mrs.. Jones, .of our town, an<L_ Rev. S. C. Gopton, of Anniston, Ali. The ceremony was performed by Rev. J. B. Turpin of Charlottesville, assisted by Rev. R. Atwell Tucker. The best man was Mr. J. R. Turpin, of King William. The maid of honor was Miss Bertha Miller, a cousin of the bride. The ushers were Messrs. J. Frank Jones, a brother of the bride, John A. Keyser, Gifford Miller and H. T. Louthan. The church was beautifully decorated with evergreen festoons and choice flowers. Miss Mattie Wood presided at the organ and rendered Mendelsshori’6 wedding march as the bridal party entered the church and took their - stand beneath the beautiful marriage bell. The church was crowded with friends of the contracting panties from all pants of the county. The bride wore a handsome cream colored cloth suit and was a synonym of the fairest of the Graces as she stood leaning upon the strong arm of her protector. Miss Miller, the maid of honor, was attired in a handsome grey cloth suit. The groom, best man and ushers were dressed in conventional-black. The bride entered the hurch leaning upon the arm of her father, and was met a* the attar by the groom. Immediately • after the ceremony breakfast was served at the bride's home, which had been taskily decorat-ed for the occasion. Mr, and Mrs. Clopton left at 12 p.m. amid a shower of rice, and best wishes, for Richmond and Old Point before going to their Southern home. The bride and -groom leave the Old Dominion with (die best wishes of a host of friends. Virginia’s loss is Alabama’s gain. The presents to . the bride' were both numerous and handsome. They embraced beautifully engraved silver ware, china, cutglas®, several checks, a riding and driving horse, and in fact nearly everything from the indispensable butter knife up to hundred dollars in gold. Among the relatives and friends of the bride from a distance were Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Jones of Point Pleasant, W. Va.; Mrs. Charles Waite and Misses Lizzie and Manie L. Waite,^ of Culpeper; Mr. J. T.

Frost’s Auto, Charter Bills Are Passed Delegate Tom Frost scored a total of 14 bills passed out of 15 introduced in the 1954 General Assembly, which adjourned after the budget battle over the weekend. A majority of Mr. Frost’s measures dealt with motor vehicle legislation. Mr. Frost is on the important appropriations and agriculture committees of the House of Delegates, •but he said the former took most of his time. The appropriations com-, mittee held about 50 Sessions, and the agriculture committee only four. But it was not a “do-nothing” session, Mr. Frost said on his return home. Among its accomplishments^ were amendments to make the Virginia right-to-work law enforceable. The Fauquier-Rappahannock delegate said he received many requests to support this legislation, and none to oppose it. _ Legislation to discourage indiscriminate cutting of dogwood was introduced by Mr. Frost in the House, and he received much commendation, for this work for this bill, he said. The other controversial matter of major importance, appropriation of the Byrd tax refund money, Mr. Frost opposed, he said, because he felt it amounts to a roundabout ta'x increase. Mr. Frost’s legislation wich passed both Houses was.: A bill amending the Warrenton town charter to allow the—town council to borrow money* to the extent provided by state law, when three ; fourths of the council members vote "foi* it. A bill to amend the Remington town charter to authorize water anid sewage systems.. A bill requiring motor vehicles Registered in Virginia to have turn signal devices, and authorizing the use of .these devices in lieu of hand signals. This bill is effective January 1, 1955. A bill to provide tjiat the words “No liability insurance included” be —put on statement of sale of motorvehicles when such is the case. A bill to provide that a current —state-inspection stieker be displayed on motor vehicles at all times_ A bill to provide that a current state inspection sticker be displayed on motor vehicles at all times. A bill providing that motor vehicles may be equipped with not more than two spotlights or two ditchlights. A bill defining an antique automobile as one over 25 years old used solely as a collector’s item, and another bill providing a $5 license fee for antique autos used in parades, ceremonies, etc., good for the life of the car. A T>ill to prohibit the throwing of lighted cigarettes or other dangerous articles from motor vehicles, moving or standing. A bill allowing state police, highway commissioners and other officials passes to use toll bridges' and toll roads when on official business A bill providing that the superintendent of state police shall establish procedure * for approval pi' certain automotive equipment. A bill allowing dealer automobiles to use single license plate, and a companion bill allowing display of a single plate on dealer autos. A bill requiring state police approval of accessory air conditioning units sold for automobiles, * when these use toxic gases as a refrigerant. Mr. " Frost’s unsuccessful bill' was one requiring state police approval •of brake fluid for autos. The specifications were so complicated that Mr. Frost withdrew this measure.

Rise h Applications A large increase' in applications for public assistance during January was noted by Mrs. M. Elizabeth Buntin, Superintendent of the Rappahannock County Department of Public Welfare, as industrial areas in the state reported an increase in unemployment. Welfare departments in Virginia reported a total of 4,737 applications for assistance in January, over 900 more than in the previous month. Applications in industrial areas were especially heavy, the Superintendent said. In Rappahannock County, applications for January were 7, a decrease from 10 in December. The increase in applications was reflected in a large increase in the number of cases receiving assistance, especially in aid to dependent children cases and general relief maintenance. These are the assistance programs most directly affected by unemployment trends, the Superintendent ex_plained. Three hundred and thirty children in 100 families were added to the, dependent children aid program in January. An increase of 247 cases in general reljef was partly accounted for by 150 cases at the Norfolk City Municipal Hospital, who had not previously received public assistance funds. Locally, Mrs. Buntin said, the public assistance program followed -nhis pattern: old age assistance, 1 case to 44; aid to dependent children remained the same at 18 cases; aid to the permanently and totally disabled remained the same at 18 cases; general relief rose 1 case to 3. Total expenditures in the state increased $37,167, to $1,440,715, and total assistance cases rose 535 to 36,318. This was 1,341 cases more than January a year ago, the, Superintendent said. Prevent Home Accidents Every 30 minutes someone in the United States is killed in an accidental home fall, Dr. Mack I. Shan. iholtz, State Health Commissioner, said today. The highest number of fatalities resulting from home falls occurs in the 65 plus age group, Dr. Shanholtz said. Of the 14,400 fatal home falls in 1952, the National Safety Council estimates placed 12,500 of the victims in this age group. This trend holds true in Virginia also. Of the 169 fatat~homefallswhich"<Kcurrc in 1952, 132 involved persons 65 ot over. / If you are going to work in the yard or put 'up screens this spring, watch for hazards that could cause a fall, Dr. Shanholtz warned. Clear out branches of trees that may have fallen during the winter. Check sidewalks and have any holes filled and flag stones reset if winter weather has raised them to tripping height. Winter weather also may have damaged porch rails and steps. Railings should be firm and risers and treads on steps should be solid and even. Replace excessively worn treads. When replacing storm windows with screens, use a firm ladder. , Check to see if dungs are solid and firmly set Be sure the ladder is on a firm base when you use it. On soft ground, place boards under it. To ob‘ tain the properangle.place the lad- " der’s base one fourth the length of the ladder away from the wal. Fasten screens securely, so children can’t push them out and fall from windows, Dr. Shanholtz continued., When working in the garden, don't leave rakes, hoes and other tools on the ground. Someone may trip over them. Lean'them against a tree or wall until you are ready to put them away, and be sure to put them away when you have finished your work. Eliminate tripping hazards in the house, too. Keep mops, brooms, toys, boxes, pails and shoes out of pathways and stairways. - If you wax floors when cleaning house, spread the wax thinly and rub thoroughly to minimize slipping. _____ Tack stairway rugs if they curl or tend to Hit. , x Treads and risers inside the house should be even, solid, and in good . repair. This is as important for basement and attic stairs as for other stairways Dr. Shanholtz concluded. {Washington as viewed by YOUR SENATOR A. WILLIS ROBERTSON FEDERAL ECONOMY STUDY SHOULD BE WORTH COST The recent upswing in the average of stock market prices may be explained in part, I believe, by things which are happening in Washington. Investors in stocks are anticipating another inflationary movement based upon deficit spending and are further encouraged by elimination of the excess profits tax and expectation that the present double taxation of dividends will be somewhat relaxed. Each week that passes brings new evidence of pressure for the Federal Government to spend more than it collects.

Testimony which has been takeh so far by subcommittees of the House and Senate Appropriations Committees indicates that cuts below budget estimates, in domestic spendf ing, outside the defense program, will be relatively minor. There also is good reason to believe that cuts which are made will be more than offset by salary increases for Federal employees. 'These salary increases' were not included in the budget and Civil Service workers have indicated that they are not satisfied with a revised scale that the White‘House indicated it would approve. The budget picture is further complicated by the fact that tax cuts will not be limited to the bill recommended by the President which now is pending in the House. Groups which are most affected by excise taxes are bringing strong pressure for their reduction or repeal and individuals are remanding that when corporate taxes and taxes on dividends are reduced, personal exemptions shall be raised at the same time. If these changes are made the deficit for the fiscal year commencing next July will be closer to eight billion dollars than to the three billion anticipated by the President when he submitted his message last January. \ lhe effect of an increased deficit will, of course, be inflationary, and while that influence may help to check the economic recession which many persons now fear, it also will mean that we have not yet solved the problem of shifting back from a war-time to a peace-time economy. One agency which may help to make this shift, which must be made sooner or later, is the new Commission on Organization of the Executive Branch of the Goverment, headed by former President Hoover. The previous Hoover Commission recommended a rather broad program of reorganization which placed emphasis on increased efficiency rather than economy. Virtually all of the economy in domestic spending accomplished in the last two years has been through the action of the Congressional Appropriations Committees in reducing aporooriations, sometimes in a rather arbitrary manner. In the current studies the new Hoover Commission will give particular attention to greater economy in the operation of what unquestionably has Ibecome a top-heavy bureaucracy. 3T *fi / i Mrs. John Wood and Mr. and Mrs. C.

RAPP ■ OHATS By: W. H. Lyo. County Agent Mrs. /ohn Dennis and John Woodward are wearing big smiles these days. Both are members of Rappahannock Artificial ‘ Breeding Association and report having heifer r~calves recently boro ixom. services of_ proven-bulls at the Virginia Artifi-' rial Breeding Association. Last week Mr. and Mrs. Woodrow Coughlin, Mr. ‘and !Mrs. Glenn Williams, Earl Kilby, Roy Heltzel and your scribe toured dairy herds in Orange and Madison Counties where a number of cows from artificial breeding which are' now producing were seen. Upon inquiry of availability of such heifer calves at one place the price was found to be around $125.00 to $150.00 with consideration only to 4-H members only. Next month we hope to have some pictures of some of the nice heifers belonging to RABA members. * * * ’;With short prospects for hay this year, * it looks like a good time to . really consider com. Plant an adapted variety having 14,000 plants per acre (42” rows and about every 8” apart in row) ; be liberal with fertili- . zer (800-1000 lbs per acre applying 300 lbs. in row and remainder through drill) on heavy clay soils a 10-10-10 is recommended with no top dressing, on lighter soils such as'a .sandy loan try a 5-10-10 analysis fertilizer and top dress when knee high with 200 to 250 lbs. of 20% —nitrogen material then BY—ALL "MEANS CULTIVATE—SHALLOW. Other .means of overcoming the prospective hay shortage are to plant spring oats (Andrew or Clinton) between now and April' 1st at 2-2J bushels per acre. Use 400-600 lbs. 5-10-10 or 4-16-8 analysis fertilizer per acre. On grass legume mixtures as a maintenance application I think it would be wise to have some nitrogen to give the plants a quick boast and thus sug,* gest a 5-10-10 or 2-12-12 analysis fertilizer at 400-600 lbs. per acre. For old alfalfa stands apply 600-800 lbs. ojf 0-14-14 or 0-10-20 (tooth with /horaxOrvTjjr '. v.r: ; I’m also learning that most of tht —farmers who put in. silos, ,(t.rench, snow fence, or permanent upright type) did not run short of feed this .1 winter. A silo is a mighty good weather beaten when it comes to -saving” annearly -crop-inrpoor curiirg'weather. Will you lose or make your 1st hay cutting or will rains ruin it? Don't forget that corn will produce more feed per acre than any other crop we can grow. If you plan and manage for only a 40-50 bushel wield my guess Is you’ll lose moneyprofit comes after you get above these yields. Shoot for 100 bushels per acre and. up.

Weaver - Culpeper, Va. _In Memoriam_ In sad and loving memory of my dear aunt, Hassie Coppage Burke, who passed away four years ago, February 25, 1950. The rolling stream of life rolls on, But still the vacant chair Recalls the love, the voice, the smile, Of the one who once sat there. As I love her, so I miss her, In my thought she is ever near, Loved, remember, lingers for always, Bring many a silent-tear. ;; She suffered hours, yes, hours of pain, To wait for cure, but all in vain. ‘Til God alone knew what was best He called her home to give her rest. From this world of pain and sorrow To the land of peace and rest, God has taken my dear aunt Where she found eternal rest. God saw the road was getting rough The hills were hard to climb He gently closed loving her eyes And whispered, “Peace be Thine.” Gone but not forgotten. Her devoted niece . - . Mary C. Woodward In /ad but loving remembrance of my dear grandmother, who departed one year ago, March 1st. You are not forgotten, dear Granny, Will you ever be—as long as life and memory shall last, Those dear hands that cared for me. Although they were wrinkled with age, They are now at rest with God. Where we may meet some day. My home is lonely without you But your work on earth is through At last you are at rest, dear Granny, Where you will suffer and feel the pains no more, So good-bye deaer Granny until we will meet on-that Golden Shore.. By the one who loved you dearly, Her. loving granddaughter, Mrs. Harvey Smoot March and April, Dangerous Fire Months The Virginia Forest Service warns the people of Virginia that March and April are usually the most hazardous months for extreme forest fire anger, more so than any other time of the year. District Forester Wilfong of * the Northern Piedmont Forest Service Disrict stated that one-third of all -forest fiFes-in Virginia are caused bysmokers and caifpers. They kill little trees . . . Destroy timber needed by industry .... Cause., soil erosion and floods ..... Spoil recreation and scenic areas .... Make poor hunting and fishing. Wilfong also stated if everyone would follow the following suggestions while in or near the woods, the annual loss from forest fires iii Virginia would be reduced. Break matches before throwing them away, Bury cigarettes butts and pipe heels, Douse campfires with water, Always use the ash tray in your car. Be extra careful with trash -fires, Use care in all - woods operations, Know and obey the local fire laws.
