Rappahannock News, April 8, 1954

VOLUME 5—NUMBER 22 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY MORNING, APRIL 8, 1954 Price $2.00 PER YEAR a .SOME ' OBSERVATIONS PRO and CON These last ■ few days are strictly “pro" in my estimation. I have sympathy for those persons who aren’t in Rappahannock to taste the beauty of Spring here. Jumping rope, kites, and baseball occupy the after sch'bol hours of the smaller fry while the no-longer youngsters resort to gardening, long walks and reading in the* sun. Nothing have I found yet that compares with spring in the home town. The proposed 10c levy to be set aside for a school building sinking funds will once more bring to the •* front the deplorable condition that some of our school structures have fallen heir to. Me, it reminds of the firetrap that the school in Flint Hill, is in, unquestionably. It makes me shiver to .think, of a fire breaking out there, of the panic, which would fill the small auditorium, and flow down the steep stairs, and push through the stuffy halls. A lot of adjectives in one sentence, you say. If only .they were descriptive enough to picture the horror that a fire would bring. Moving enough to make some one forget his pocket book. . , o o o The dances which the Rescue ’ Squad sponsor the first Friday of, every month, are about to go the way of many similar undertakings. Yes, tliey too may soon be forsaken because of the trouble which cropps up at each and every dance. It seems a pity that a.clean form of entertain4. ment such as this has to be given up. It is a pity. A pity that there are always individuals willing to start a fight and even more who are ever -ready to jump in, once one is started. ‘ A pity that such persons are. Jiot hesitant to start a fight for fear the law will curb their “fun.” o o o Hiram Johnson was the cor/ect answer to the question “Who was nominated to run with Teddy Roosevelt. as Vice President ?”Mr*.-C.~EwGiles is the winner of the free subscription. We, too, were surprised at the answer to last week’s question. The question which we meant to ask was: “Who was nominated at the Republican Convention in Chicago in 1912 to run with Taft?” The answer, James Sherman. Sherman was nominated at this Republican Convention; however he died October 30, 1912 and the Republican electoral votes, were cast or Nicholas M. Butler. By eyror we inserted the name “Teddy Roosevelt, instead of Taft.” - , This week’s question for a few subscription is: What branch of the American forces made the first crossing of the 38th Parallel info North Korea and what was the date of the crossing? . ' Burr P. Harrison To Visit County -Representative Burr P. Harrison plans to take advantage of the Easter recess of Congress to resume his annual informal meeting with citizens of Rappahannock County.

H. D. Luncheon Proves Success The Tuesday luncheon sponsored by the Ladies of the Amissville Home Demonstration Club was a success financially and socially. A total of $34.10 was realized by the Amissville Club's luncheon, which was attended by many friends and, representatives , from other communities and various clubs. The guest speaker, Miss Eva Jo Liskey of Warrenton gave a most* interesting talk on the customs, speach, dress and occupations of ^the Chilean people. She was impressed by their friendliness and courtesy toward herself and her companions., She said several times during her- talk that they were no different from our own people at heart, that we just needed to know them better to understand them and this understanding would be a step nearer to peacel among nations.

BOWIE...Publisher Entered as second-class mail matter at the post office at Washington, Virginia SUBSCRIPTION: On advance) —--—».-* $2.00 a year BYRD INTRODUCES LOYALTY BILL As of the close of the Senate session recently (Thursday, April 1) I introduced a bill making it unlawful -to grant veterans benefits and rights to any who have advocated overthrow M of the government, belonged to organizations advocating overthrow of the government, refused to take an, oath of loyalty to the United States, been convinced of any offense involving loyalty to the United States, or, under the fifth amendment, have, refused to testify as to their loyalty. The text of the bill follows: To make ineligible for certain rights and benefits persons who engage in disloyal acts against the United States Government, and for other purposes. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That no person shall be entitled to receive any pension, compensation for disability, or any other benelit, or be eligible tor any reemployment .rights, to which he would be entitled under any provision; -of law by virtue of service in the; Armed Forces of the United States, •or the reserve components thereof, performed ' by himself or ■ any other person if he or such other person at any time has advocated, or has been a member of an organization that has at any time advocated, the overthrow of the Government of the United States by force or violence, or at any time has refused to execute any oath of loyalty to the United States, or at any time has refused, upon the ground of consitutional privilege against self-incrimination, to answer any question, or to testify before any court or other competent ribunal, regarding his loyaly to the United Staes, or has been convicted of any offense involving his disloyalty to the United States. Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Campbell, Mrs. John A. Keyser and Mrs. C. T. Miller were in Winchester for thq day Thursday. Mesdames Campbell, Keyser, and Miller attended the Letter To The Editor Dear Mr. Editor: The articles you, have published in recent issues of the Rappahannock News relative to the proposed Nursing/Htffne in which Rappahannock ^County has an opportunity to share,' have, I believe, had the effect that you intended on a great many of our people, ie, “touching.” Please believq me, I feel that each item you have; written has been with all sincerity, but I can’t help but feel that you have: let your bigness of heart inadvertently stop you from looking far enough into the future or seriously weghing. all the pros and cons of the issueWill you kindly publish this letter so those of us who oppose this issue, that you call so worthy, voice to the people why we feel it would be doing a great injustice to our old people and that opposition is not because of what you said in April 1, 1954 issue of the Rappahannock News. Quote “Yet, we here in Rappahannock County do not give much thought to what happens to our homeless and ill old people.” What an unkind statement! You houldn’t have said that Mr. Editor and I, and I am sure many people in this good community of ours take exception to that statement. Rappahannock has a heart! It; has been proven to me and don’t you think you were hitting below the belt to make such a statement in your paper which goes into most of the homes in Rappahannock and many homes throughout the United States, while we have to sit back and take it because we can’t go into every home as the Rappahannock News does. So Mr. Editor will you clear these questions for me, because I do oppose the proposed Nursing Home? 1. When we send our charity patients to the University of Virginia Hospital, the co§t is $400.00, so I understand. To this proposed hospital the cost would only be $75.00. How can this small hospital do it for so much less? University of Virginia is a state hospital, they do it for cost and I believe they get some help from the state on charity cases. They have many interns there to help.

How do wo stock up in prosperity with the other counties we are to share this hospital with? Are they more prosperous than we, or if they’re not, are they likely to become more prosperous than we, say ten or fifteen years from now and if they do, if Medical Science advances, and of course it will, will the other counties want to make changes in the hospital to ake advanage of his? If the majority of the counties could afford these changes, and we could not, would not the majority overrule our objections and Mr. Editor, what would happen to our $4,000.00 per room investment? Would they give it back to us so we could go on trying to help our old people? t> J. Mr. Edtor, there are so many kind of diseases. Will they in this small hospital have all kinds of specialists? If not will this hospital pay the expense of our patient in another hospital where there is a specialist to meet his or her needs, or will Rappahannock have to pay for that? These and many questions I would like to have answered Mr. Editor, but please believe me, I have thet deepest feeling for the old the homeless and the underpriviledged, and because I do, I heartly oppose this proposed Nursing Home, but if there is a sound way to help these unfortunate people and it can bq brought before all the citizens here, I am sure you wilf see that Rappahanock is thoughtful and does care a great deal. Very sincerely yours, » Claire Pauze' (Editor’s Note): I appreciate my attention being called to the article referred to in last week’s paper. Although the article jwas not written here—it was contributed—-^he contents should liave been edited. We feel that the writer did not mean that the people of Rappahannock did not give .much thought to our old people ,but that an opportunity to give more thought to them had now arisen, • in the establishing of a home for the chronically ill and aged.. We appreciate |Our attention being called to such articles appearing in the paper.—Editor.. Washington as viewed by YOUR SENATOR A. WILLIS ROBERTSON FOREIGN TRADE PROGRAM WILL FACE CRUCIAL TEST f Last week the President submitted to the Congress his recommendations for improving foreign trade. This message expanded on the general discussion of that subject in the President’s State of the Union message last January and dealt with some of the specific points covered by the recent report of the Randall Com— mission on Foreign Economic Policy., Discussing the dollar shortage which limits the amount of goods other nations are able to buy from us, the President said the United States should taper off our program of providing 'dollars throtfgh. economic grants but that we should help friendly nations to 'earn more dollars by providing technical assistance and by encouraging United States investments abroad. I heartily agree with those principles and, as a matter of fact, before voting for the excise tax reduction bill_ which became law last ' week, I said I hoped we could help balance the budget by cutting from foreign aid appropriations an amount! equal to the loss of revenue from i the excise tax cut. ? V J The President also made recommendations for improving customs procedures, promoting tratJe between the Eastern and Western Hemispheres without lifting our embargoes 4gainst Communist areas, and finding more outlets for our agricultural 5 products. But the heart of his program was iii the recommendation for a three year extension of the Reciprocal Trade Act, with some amendments. Since the present trade agreement; act ends on June 30, I frankly wish, the President had not waited so long to recommend its renewal because it will face serious opposition and getting the law extended within the next ninety days will not be easy. The question of holding tariffs at minimum levels, which is the aim of .the Reciprocal Trade prgoram, or of raising them to the point desired by less efficient domestic producers who object to foreign competition has been a fundamental political issue beSee ROBERTSON—Page 3 Washington Theatre Show*: 7:15 and 9:00 P.M.

ROBERTSON—From Pago 2 tween the Democratic and Republican parties for more than a century. When the Hull Reciprocal Trade program was started in 1934 it was| supported by only five Senators and two House members on the Re-> publican side. In* 1937 all Republican Senators voted against renewing it and only three members of that party in the House voted ro it. Again in, 1940 the Republicans were , solid against it. • In spite of the President’s position, influential Republican leaders in the House and Senate still are opposed to further tariff reductions or to ' continuing the Reciprocal Trade program except with such restrictive amendments tliat it will have little real meaning. It is evident, therefore, that the only hope for putting into effect the President’s program this year lies in its (being considered on a non-partisan basis with the Democrats who have traditionally supported it rallying around a Republican executive. » *As a member of the House Ways and Means Committee I had and opportunity to help inaugurate the Hull program and nothing during my service in the Congress has given me more pleasure and Satisfaction than my support of Reciprocal Trade. I believe in it as possibly * the best means of winning friends and allies abroad. I believe in it because thet techniques of mass production have been so mastered by our industries that they can successfully compete in any foreign market with their auto mobiles, locomotives, machine tools) and electrical equipment. I believe in it also because Virginia has a major stake in the export of farm products and unless we have these outlets for tobacco, cotton, wheat, corn, lard and peanut oil, prices will be depressed and restrictions placed on production- But over and above all else, I believe in Reciprocal Trade because a tariff is a tax on our domestic consumers and I feel it never should be higher than what is necessary to permit an efficient domestic! producer , to compete while paying the American standard of wages' v Robert W. Sealock of Washington, D. C. spent Sunday with his mother, Mrs. Z. H. Sealock. Flint Hill Firemen Adopt Rules and By-Laws At a meeting March 30, the Flint Hill Firemen adopted a set of Rules and By-Laws to be observed by their newly formed Volunteer Fire Department.

The equipment committee‘was instructed to look around for a siren, that would meet the need of the company. After a short discussion, it was decided that the Department would hold a community carnival July 2324. Plans for this carnival will be further discussed in the May meeting to be held May the 4th.

Betrayal and Crucifixion John 18-19 G. M. Profitt The Cross of Calvary is a demonstration of what sin will do in the name of religion. Dead, devitalized,» ritualistic religion always persecutes, history verifies this statement. On the other hand the cross demonstrates the; undying love,, of the Father for the creatures (men) which He has created. The cross illustrates the limit to which sin will lead me as over against the love of God for men. John comes immediately to the tragic betrayal of Jesus by Judas and then clearly reveals the trials which are all unlawfully executed. Annas was in line for the High Priest, but like Judas sold the office for a more paying position. Caiphas was acting in his place through political pull and the Sanhedrin met unofficially and out of order, likewise the trial be-„ fore Pilate who compromised the convictions of justice and his conscience for popular approval of the crowd and delivered Jesus to the mob. The mob thought they took Jesus and Ibound Him by force, but He delivered Himself over to them. It was His hour for this and the mere cords with which they bound Him were nothing if He had chosen to break them. However, He was bound by obedience to the Father’s love and His own love for man and so He walked bravey to the cross marching a Divinely marked path as the Victor and not the victim. The soldiers along with the Jews mocked Him and then took the thorns and platted a crown, then crowned Him with it. In this act man was through sin pressing back into the; very brow of God the thorns which came as a result of man’s transgression in the Garden of Eden. However they * couldn't have had any power at all over Him, had He chose to prevent it ch. 19:11. In this verse He also apportioned the responsibility of sin. Though Pilate had sined by scourging Jesus unlawfully,, his sin was not as great as that of Caiaphas because Caiaphas had sinned spiritually in the name of religion Now when the Jews finally rejected Jesus and Pilate turned Him over to them, we see Him going out bearing His cross as the victor and, ing on the cross is purposely left out not a victim of circumstances sufferin order to reveal the spiritual anguish and triumph. The greatest'' battle that has ever been fought was fought right there on the cross. The Savior over against Satan. “Thanks be to God who giveth us the Victory,’' that Christ won triumphly over Satan, sin, death and the ^rave. The words of Jesus on the cross reveal the very heart of God as manifested to us by thfe cross, also the triumph of His redeeming grace. The very nails which were driven into the hands and feet of Jesus were also driven into the heart of God. If man can be properly brought to the place where he can view the cross as God intends for us to do so it will melt the very heart of the hardest sinner. However only the Holy * Spirit can show us the cross and that by God’s word and not a crucifix on the wall etc. Now John does not give all He said from the cross. In the very beginning He prayed for the forgiveness of the very mob who placed Him upon the cross. Had He not done this none of that group could have ever been saved. But the love of God also shines forth in this prayer as probably no where else is so clearly revealed. Then John tells us He addressed his mother and commends her over to the care of John, showing that He even in the midst o such suffering was conscious of her earthly needs. This also shows that He is conscious of ours also. Now some would take .this saying here to mean that He intended Mary to be elevated as the mother of the church and to be promenence above others. But there is no indication of such revealed inj the scripture that she is to have any more prominence than any other woman. Christ Himself is the head the church. He constantly spoke of it as “My Church,” and Paul specifically reveals Him as the Head. Now after Jesus had accomplished the process of redemption, He thought of Himself. He ask for water and then He cried with the voice of the Victor, “It is finished,” and yielded * up His Spirit. They did not take it from Him, but He yielded it up as He had so often stated: “No man taketh my life from me, I have powers to lay it down, and power to take it again." After His death the body is lovingly taken down and buried: by two members of the Sanhedrin who had not consented to His death. It is remarkable that He was buried in a Garden. Life for man began in a Ibeautful Garden._then_he sinned and was driven out.* The second Adam (Jesus) was buried in a garden where He could arise from the dead and begin the new creation' of the regenerated race of man over again in a garden.

LOAN COMPANY Tips on Selecting Your r New Sewing Machine The annual Spring rush to the sewing machine is under way for 35,000,000 home seamstresses. A big problem facing many is selection of a modern sewing machine best suited to stitching requirements for all the family. _Experts in the Educational Department of the Singer Sewing Machine Company solve this with rule of thumb considerations for new purchasers. , The average married woman with children spends 8.2 hours per week sewing and needs a sewing machine with deluxe features that speed sewing assignments. Such features are found in deluxe straight-needle and new slantneedle models housed in cabinets ranging from Spinet to period desighs as well as portable carrying cases. They are equipped with sewing light, thread cutter, automatic bobbin winder, hinged pressure foot for basting over pins, dialed tension, stitch regulator and backward and forward stitching mechanism. On them, it is easy to achieve decorative Fashion Stitching without the use of attachments: however, attachments are provided for stitching tasks which cannot be accomplished in any other manner. Outstanding features of slant needle styles are visibility and port* ability. Needle and pressure Ibars are slanted forward toward theuser at a nine degree angle. Available in black or beige aluminum heads that weigh less than sixteen .pounds, they can be used as portable machines, too.For limited sewing space there are straight-needle and slantneedle portable machines in lightweight carrying cases to handle major stitching roles. If you have ample time to devote to decorative stitching, there is a swing-needle sewing machine for doing zigzag stitching without attachments. This mac nine head creates embroidery-like effects especially good for children's clothing and house-* hold items. For mending and repair work there are budget models in portable and cabinet styles. Equipped for heavy duty sewing, they have attachments needed for specialized work. When purchasing a sewing machine, remember that a recognized manufacturer guarantees machines for your protection. Be sure service arrangements for care of machine are available through the manufacturer.

Telephone Company Seeks New Rate Adjustment Wilson B. Garnett, State Manager of Virginia Telephone & Telegraph Company has announced that the Company is filing an application with the State Corporation Commission for authorization of adjusted schedules of charges for telephone service.

Good telephone service requires good people and wage levels must be high enough to attract and keep them.” “However” Garnett said “since payroll expense represents nearly two-thirds of the Company’s operating costs each general wage increase drastically affects the Company’s cost of furnishing service, and reduces the amount available for carrying the ever-increasing investment in telephone plant .required in this State.” Higher wage costs, with the much, j higher material and equipment costs” ] he continued “naturally result in| J higher pfriced investment since additions to plant must be made at higher unit costs than ever before.” “The number of telephones in service is almost twice the number in service seven years ago” he stated “but the investment in plant hasi risen to more than three times what it was seven years ago.” “The constant increase in the amount of additions to plant required to serve each additional telephone has increased the cost of interest, depreciation, taxes and other usual property carrying charges for each additional telephone served.” "The demands for expanded telephone plant and service in the “Heart of Virginia” territory we serve are continuous” .Garnett said. “This territory includes some of Virginia’s finest farms, and business and residential sites. A flood of new business, industrial and residential expansion is attracted, and much of this new expansion extends into rural areas. Telephone plant construction must nnf only keep. pace- W4th - con-— struction of new factories, and commercial and residential construction, but in addition” he said “we must be ready to rearrange or expand our* facilities to accommodate the con> struction of new streets, highways I and oter public facilities in the rapidly developing territory served by our Company.” “We are now serving over 34,000 telephones—about 94% more than, seven years ago. Almost 5000 rural establishments are served on rural party lines, an increase of over 91% during the same period, but many, others that were served on rural party lines seven years ago now enjoy one, two or four party line service.” “The continued demand for expansion of plant requires large amounts of additional investment money for a continuous construction, program. An unwavering record of. good earnings is necessary to attract this, money. Adequate rates are essential to good earnings.” “Fortunately for our subscribers,” Garnett said “we have been able thus far to withstand the effect of more than 12 years of increased cost with only three general adjustments of our rate schedules. Our. proposed local exchange rates will yield approximately $9,000 per month after payment of taxes.” “The proposed increases have been' equitably distributed over the various exchanges of the Company, depending upon the size of the exchange and type of service rendered.” —Advertisement Peola Mills News Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Blackwell and daughter, Joan were * Sunday guests of Mrs. Backwell’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. E.
