Rappahannock News, April 15, 1954

CON Junior Hawkins came up with the correct answer to last week's question—The U. S. First Cavalry was the first American force to • cross the 38th parallel. They made the crossing on October 8, 1950. This week I am going to try something a little different. Can someone give me the author of these lines, and the occasion: “Above all, I know there is a Supreme Being who rules the affairs of men and whose goodness and mercy have always followed the American people, and I know He will not turn from us now if we humbly and reverently seek his powerful aid.” The only clue I will give is that the author was a Presbyterian. __o o—o—oIndications are that the council job in the Town of Washington is not a very desirable one. Friday passed without a single candidate filing for candidacy—or is it that someone wants to be drafted— from where I sit it seems that one ' of the most important parts of the position is letting the voters of the town know where you stand and if you intend to run for office. Of course, it is possible that the office is not that important. Or is that no one wants the thankless job. Could be. Really, activity in and around town must slow down for a while. J&e past week has been too strenuous on the sidewalk superintendents—what, with the removal of the porch roof in front of the post —office; a new door being installed at the side; the State Highway department men repairing the storm drains at Charlie Bruce’s corner, and beside the post office—all of this going on in just a few days has kep the advisers too busy, so please slow up and let rhom hnvo a few .days to recuperate, o o o o I really hated to have to turn down an invitation to 'attend a meeting in the county this week, for the Tfray, it was explained to me I know it, must be a very interesting meeting. For the first hour or thereabouts the Front Royal stock sale will be discussed, then the merits of the big league ball players will take up aftother hour, afterwhich they will discuss the business of firefighting and keeping up a fire company — I know this is the way the meeting is conducted, for Dave Anderson, told me so. FIREMEN MEET TONIGHT The Washington Volunteer Fire Company will hold their April meeting tonight (Thursday) at 7:30 in the Court House. JThe change of date is due to the company being out on call Tuesday night, at the fire in Flint Hill. Main St Restaurant , To Open Saturday A new restaurant will open its doors in Washington, Saturday, April 17, when Mrs. Charlie Jenkins sweeps off the welcome mat to her Main Street Restaurant, located directly across from the Post Office.

As her opening special, Mrs. Jen* kins will feature an Easter dinner this Sunday. Her menu for the meal will include turkey and all the trimmings, peas, mashed potatoes, cole slaw, hot rolls, ^butter, coffee and dessert for $1.50.

Among the topics discussed among t}ie council members were the follow*’ ing: - i -1. The council agreed to ask the firemen to clean up the materials used during the construction recently, and to clean the firehouse grounds. 2. It was agreed to table the suggestion of improving the fire house by additional construction. __ 3. It was decided to spring cean the town hall. 4. There was a report on the repairing of the culvert on Main and Porter Street. (This work was com. pleted on Wednesday.) 5. Arrangements were made to keep the town' lots mowed during the summer. 6.

A report was given on the petition which has been on file before the judge. For some time the town has been required to pay a fee on the town water fountains. They have felt that this is unnecessary and accordingly, put this matter into the hands of a lawyer. A reply was re-" ceived from the lawyer representing the water bondsmen stating that the water rent (that was being held hr “Escrow”) could be used only to purchase water bonds or to buy backinterest on bonds. A motion was made and passed to find out if there are bonds for sale, and if so, what are the prices of these bonds. Z. Two projects, the painting of the hydrants, and the planting of the dogwood, trees have been favorably taken care of.

B r u e Wood’s spray truck and the Washington Fire .Company arrived first on the scene. Working together with several Flint Hlil Firemen, they wetted down the nearby garage and other buildings, halting the spread of the fire. The Front Royal Fire Company arrived shortly thereafter, followed by two trucks from Culpeper Company. Though the immediate danger passed, the firemen stayed hours longer to watch the smoldering hay and debris for signs of renewal of fire. A spray truck belonging to Mrs. R. B. Rust stayed on duty all night.

That’s the warning that went out to Virginians yesterday from the State Agriculture Department Seems some of the itinerants have been painting the buildings of some luckless citizens with crankcase oil. About this time of year, the department said, several of the groups arrive in the State from joints south. They—a spokesman called them gypsies—solicit painting jobs which usually are done with spray apparatus. -In most cases it’s done with a cheap paint that has not been approved by the “Agriculture Department'F’chemical division. Sometimes the roving painters don’t even use paint. There have been times when they used crankcase oil mixed with aluminum paint. After it rained on a newly painted buiding—no paint. If the painters are caught using unapproved paint, they can be fined up to $500 and sentenced to a year in. jail. Marble Guess Nets $8 The Marble Guess contest introduced by Mrs. Wade H.

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) i._.---- $2.00 a year Easter... "Giro thanks unto the Lord for He is good . . . For His mercy endureth forever” Every Easter—as he will this coming Sunday—moderji man puts aside the strange implements with which he works out his earthly destiny and returns to the House of his Creator. He lays down his powerful lenses and his pneumatic hammers ... he leaves his radar screens .-. . he divests himself of . his mechanical wings . . . his electric horses s'tand silent. In pews worn smooth by the simpler men who were his fathers, he opens his eyes and his soul. And joy fills his ’ heart. Silently, in earnest prayer, he finds haven for his storm-tossed spirit. In faith and child-like wonder he hears again the Easter story. His voice lifts up in praise and in thanksgiving. Deep serenity floods his being for he knows that here is a miracle greater than any he,, himself, can ever perform. The knowledge brings ^gratitude ... as gratitude brings hope . . . as hope brings abiding strength. “What is man that Thou are mindful of him-” he asks with the psalmist. And his heart tells him the answer. For man is the child ' of God, whose weakness and need for his Father are his hope, his strength and his salvation. He knows then that all the won- drous works of his own hands are as broken toys except as they help to bring his spirit closer to God. And again he rejoices. His false pride melts away ... his being is cleansed . . . he sits once more with simpler men in Chartres Cathedral, in the nave of mediaeval Canterbury, in the catacombs of Rome. He is one with the trusting shepherds, led out of Egyptian darkness, as they stand at the foot of Mount Sinai. ~~ The bells peal their triumph in the Easter sunshine, in peace and joy, man exults with the ancient chronicler: “Let the - heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice, and let men say among the nations, the Lord reigneth.” Letter To The Editor To all the people in Rappahannock County, 1 would like very much to make an urgent appeal to each and, everyone of you. Have you visited your school lately? If you haven’t, please do so very soon. See for yourself just what the conditions are under which our teachers are teaching. I’m sure if you will visit the schools and watch the classes being taught, you will come away with a much better understanding about things pertaining to education. Our schools are in very bad shape in more ways than one.'Get'to know the teachers and offer your help in any way .you can. Take an interest it\ not only your school but all of them. I’m sure all of us want to be proud of our county but how. can you be ' proud of it if the schools are fire traps and ready to tumble down? Get behind the movement for better schools and push with all your might and knowledge. Let’s see if we, can’t improve on what we already have. When any of you get time, visit Reager School. Although it only has two rooms and two teachers, it is a • very cleJiri ‘and attractive school ~ house. Flowers are growing in the yard. The children help to keep it cean and neat Miss Mattie Robinson is to be thanked for this. .v ...... : r • . / So let your teachers know that you stand ready and willing to help in( any way possible. Wake up Rappahannock County or we will foe left far behind in the education field I Mrs. LaMerie Williams A Well-Merited Free Ride (The Richmond News Leader) Friday, April 9, 1954 It is a tribute to A Willis Robertson’s long service to Virginia that no one can be found to tilt against him in A July primary election. Perhaps the verb is ill chosen, for “can be found” suggests that someone is actively looking for a likely candidate to take horn on; it is Mr. Robertson’s good fortune (one can imagine how his colleagues envy him) that no organization opposition to his re-electk n exists at primary time. The Republicans may ,be heard from in No«vember, but even that remains an iffy prospect. Mr. Robertson has well earned a free' ride. It has been both his good fortune and his ill fortune to serve as the junior Senator to Mr. Byrd. If Mr. Byrd has drawn the fire, Mr. Byrd has drawn the spotlight as well; against his senior’s brilliant plumage, Mr. Robertson often has seemed a little more dun-colored than he really is. It is a fairly familiar situation, and a difficult one to cope with. Mr. Robertson’s light, concealed under Mr. Byrd’s bushel, rarely has shown as brightly as it might have shone. Yet Virginia’s “junior” Senator (Mr. Robertson will be 67 in May, Mr. Byrd will be 67 in June) has served his State ably since he went to the Senate in 1946 to fill out the unexpired term of Carter Glass. A tireless student of banking and finance, he has made some sound contributions to fiscal policy; if Mr. Robertson’s position on foreign aid has been a good bit more liberal than our own, it needs to be said that he has advanced his views persuasively. During the recent Senate debate on Hawaiian statehood, no‘ member of the Senate offered more cogent or more unanswerable arguments against this step than Mr. Robertson put before his colleagues. A modesty and lie speaker, Mr. Robertson has been consistently a credit to the Old Dominion. Six years ago, Mr. Robertson disposed of James P. Hart, Jr. by a vote of 80,340, to 33,928 in the primary, and went on to defeat Republicaan Robert H. Woods by 253,865 to 119,366 in the general election. There has been some speculation that former Governor Tuck, now serving in the House from the Fifth District, might tackle Mr. Robertsop in a knockdown primary race this Summer. Wisely, Mr. Tuck has put the notion aside. Such a head-on colision would leave the Byrd organization scattered* all voer the political highway, and the organization needs nothing so much right now as a little smooth and comfortable riding. That’s the prospect for Mr. Roberson this Summer, and we have no fault to find with it. Louisa Cuts Budget To Fit Income___ LOUISA, April 8—Swinging the economy ax lustily, the Louisa County Board of Supervisors chopped down and passed 1954-55 budgets; which fit within the framework ot available revenues. I Ip one minor but typical action the supervisors saved cotlhty taxpayers 1 cent each. This came when they voted to quit the League of Virginiat Counties which charges an affiliation fee of 1 cent per capita. That move saved Louisa County -precisely $128.26 in the coming fiscal yea*. —7-*-- » -. Other “savings" also were effected* The board held welfare and public; health costs to current levels, as well as several minor departmental activities, and cut all but $828 from an $11,000 increase requested by the . school board. Abandoned- was the traditional appropriation of $600 to the local chap; ter of the Tuberculosis Association. Levy Held at $2 ) Retained was the 4-year-old tax levy of $2 per $100 on property and public utilities. It was last boosted in 1950, from $1.80. The new $465,000 school operating budget, which will provide for meeting the State’s minimum teacher salary scale, actually shows an increase over the current fiscal year of $32,181 but most of the additional revenue will come from the State. For instance, in holding the county on the scale the State will put up an increase of some $13,000. The county’s added share amounts to about $3,000. . Most salaries arje included in the school budget item labeled "day instruction costs,” and this shows a . $28,375 increase—to $341,175—over, the 12-month period which ends June 30. Other Cosjs to Climb Other portions of the school budget also will climib. Pupil transportation will jump from about $73,000 to about $75,000. Operating school plants will cost about $2,485 more, and maintenance (repair and upkeep) about $1,600 more. Proceeds from Louisa's $2 tax rate are apportioned among all county departmental activities as authorized by the supervisors. The school board requested $195,191 in county tax revenue to operate next fiscal year and was granted $184,537. The current appropriation is $183,709. - State funds due to school system amount to $268,182, according to the budget submitted by the school board. -The State and local funds were to be swelled by Federal and miscellaneous money to a total of $476,111, which was the total budget figure submitted by the school administrators. A*school debt service budget set at $13,493 was approved. The county’s general fund budget (embracing welfare, public health, crime prevention, and so forth) projects expenditures and revenues balancing at $96,055. This is a decrease of about $250 from the current figure. The welfare budget was set at $54,*137, same as currently. Louisa will provide $11,137 of this and the Fed-, eral and State governments, $43,000. The county' cost for public health « will be $4,375. Except for the deleted appropriation of $600 to the tuberculosis chapter, this also is the same as the current cost. Louisa’s property tax will bring in $143,228, allowing for 8 per cent in delinquencies. The anticipated public —utility tax_ revenue, which does not allow for ‘delinquents, will bring; $44,049. State Supplements to the general fund are expected to amount to $83,371. Also budgeted as 1954-55 revenue is an expected surplus of $685 in the current general fund budget. County Clerk L. A. Keller, Jr., said that the supervisors’ action in withdrawing from the League of Virginia Counties was “strictly an economy measure.” —(Richmond, Times-Dispatch) One of the most remarkable protection values in* history. $5000 benefits for less than IY2 cents a day.

STATE FARM MUTUAL AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE COMPANY BIOOMIHGTON. L LINOIS the Southwest. Extreme precautions* were immediately taken to tack down the blowing soil with close growing grasses. Until recently, Jittle has been heard about the once infamous Dust B0Wl.> " ■ ;■ ■ 4; Increased demands for certain depleting crops have caused the sods to be plowed, the rains have stopped and again valuable topsoil is on the move. This is what conservationists refer; to as wind erolldn. Leaving the soil" bare with no protective cover of grass thus subjecting it to the strong winds of the Southwest. According to recent reports 175 to 300 tons of soil per acre in being deposited on farms east to the Dust Bowl. This top soil is blowing from farms that can’t afford to lose it. In the Culpeper Soil Conservation District \ye have a somewhat different erosion problem than do the ranchers of the Southwest. Our problem affects more acres over a larger area and results from rainfall1 rather than the lack of it. Although the control for water erosion is quite similar to that used to control wind erosion. , Establishing soil and water conservation practices not only protects the resources but it is also just good business because they increase the cash earnings of the farm. A ten year study in Illinois showed that farms following good conservation practices eared an average of $6.36 per acre per year more than comparable farms using little or no conservation methods. . _•____ A average farm of 200 acres in ^Culpeperand ^Rappahannock Counties would have an additional income of $1252 per year when farmed under sound conservation methods. Twelve hundred and fifty-two dollars would pay a lot of farm debts however, that is only secondary. Saving valuable topsoil and -rainfall which is the ' foundation of any farming operation is of prime importance. Seven hundred and twenty Culpeper and Rappahannock County farmers are working with their locally organized Culpeper Soil Conservation District. All have developed complete farm plans for soil and water conservation assisted by Soil Conservation Service technicians* - < . ‘ ■* Four Rappahannock County farmers who have recently developed complete farm plans includes: Woodrow Coughlin, Castleton; Dudley Martin, Amissville; George Gray, Sperryville, and John H. Pearman, Amissville. Assistance in developing the farm plans amj establishing the applicable conservation practices was givgn by Soil Conservation Service technicians.

Cancer Crusade Strikes—Man’s Cruelist Enemy “Strike Back At Cancer—Man’s Cruelist Enemy,” is the keynote of the 1954 Cancer Crusade for funds and increased public awareness of the American Cancer Society’s threepoint program of research, education and service. With this slogan, the month-long campaign in Virginia has as its goal) "$302,500 to further medical research and public health progress in the early detection and treatment of cancer, one of the leading causes of, death in this state and throughout the nation. The Virginia Cancer Crusade in April—Cancer Control Month—is part of the nation-wide drive of the American Cancer Society with which this state’s Division is affiliated. The national campaign chairman is Elmer H. Bobst, New York business leader. Public support is being sought for a three-way program of research, educatic and service essential to detecting and controlling cancer. Williams R. Perkins, Jr., of Lynchburg, is state campaign chairman* Discussing the drive, he said, “The decisive spirit to conquer cancer, expressed in our 1954 Cancer Crusade slogan, inspires all of our Volunteers. They are going ahead with this drive with the feeling that growing public awareness of the cancer problem will assure greater response than ever to their appeal. • “The funds raised in this crusade will help medical scientists seek the unknown causes of cancer. Strong support by each of our communities can mean greater progress in detection and advances in the cure of this disease. More lives can be saved and painful illness, checked if the public gets behind*.this drive,” the. chairman said. Work done by the Virginiaa Division of the American Cancer Society towards this end will be publicized through April, Perkins added. Proceeds of the Virginia Crusade will b6 used for the American Cancer Sociej ty’s three-point program of research, public education and community service. “Facts and figures proye the importance of this work,” stressed the campaign chairman. “Deaths from , cancer in Virginia last year numbered 3,487, according to the State Department of Health. Many of these were children between the pges of 3 and IS years. This enemy claims! people of all ages and from all walks of life. Our big job is to -strike back at cancer; help find its cause and cure. This we can do by giving generously to the 1954 Cancer Crusade.” The organizing committee for this year’s drive has worked but many interesting features for Cancer Control Month. Newspaper articles, radio and TV, magazines, billboards, and •motion pictures will reach into evefy area with the campaign message. ; Civic organizations and women’s dubs are assisting in all towns and counties, and merchants are cooperating with Cancer workers, displaying LITTLETON F.

Christ, The Living Lord John 20-21 Rev. C. M. Profitt Christianity rests upon the truth of' the Resurrection. Take away the Resurrection and our religion is no different than the other religions since we |po would be worshipping a dead God like them. However, we _have many in fallable proofs of Jesus'_ resurrection. First of all there is the :x examination -of the empty tomb by Peter and John. When Mary made it known to them that the tomb was £mpty, both ran and made a thorough examination of the clothes and the tomb. The condition of the grave clothes revealed that no rough hand had torn them from the body of Jesus * but that He had slipped out of them Himself. Upon discovering this John says, “We saw and believed.” Verses 3-10, ch. 20. Upon discovering this they went home and left Mary Magdalene alone by the tomb. Now when she was alone, she began to weep, still seeking the body of Jesus. The Angels then _asked Iter why she wept, but the Angels could not take the place of her Lord and so she turns her back - upon them and again discovers another man standing there. She mistakes him for the gardener and asks where he has taken the Lord’s body. If he will only tell she will convey it away. Here we see the respnose of loyal love. She was not strong enough to carry the body of a dead man, yet she was willing to try be- cause of what He meant to her. Her sorrow and grief had so numbed her sense of recognition that Jesus had to call her name in the old familiar voice which she had been used to and this brought immediate recognition, He is alive! Now Jesus said, Touch Me not, which means do not lean upon the physical relation, but you will have to break with this and come to lean upon,the spiritual relationship. This appearance was the second proof of His Resurrection. She was also to go tell the Disciples of His resurrection and coming Ascension. Another proof was His appearance to the Disciples that evening while assembled in the Upper room. The doors being shut He startled them by suddenh appearing and all imtnedi—aitely recognized Him. He produced further evidence by showing them - His hands and feet. This also helped to banish their fears and doubts. The other Evangelists tell us He also ate world, “That of witnessing unto Him their helper in etain etain etainnnn and His resurrectin and dealing with sin." He alsd promised again to send the Holy Spirit as their helper in this important work of witnessing for Him. Then John tells us in Chapter 20: 30-31 how and why he has written this Gospel. “That ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you might . have life through His name.” Now in chapter 21 John continues his proof of the Resurrection and the completion of the Ultimate sign which he strated out to do. “That of the Sonship of God.” In this chapter John seeks to reveal the person of the “ risen Lord.-—-- t~ tome immediately recognized and believed. Here we see that Jesus is the silent, (but unseen listener to our every conversation. No one had told Him of Thomas’ words, but when He appeared He reminded Thomas of what he had said. Thomas went deeper though than the rest and addressed Him as (iod, “My Lord and My God.” This caused Him to utter His last beatitude. Then He informs them of their responsibiities and mission in the at this appearance. This appearance brought great enthusiasm to those present and they told Thomas about it and he refused to-believe. Then when they assembled again the next Sunday Thomas was present and Jesus suddenly appeared and told Thomas to place his fingers in the nail holes in His-hands and thrust his hand into the spearhole in His side, but Thomas We see Jesus manifesting Himself iff here by the sea side in two ways: First, as the head of the church dealing with the group who represented the church and then to individuals who constitute the church. Instead of rebuking them for their failure He inters into their enterprise and brings success to them. This taught them to rely upon Him instead of their own efforts. Then in verse 13-14 He takes the place of a waiter and reveals Himself concerned >. about and,, providing for our physical needs. ' The remainder of the chapter deals with individuals, but always in relation to the group as a whole. He commands Peter three times to “Feed His lambs and sheep.” He does this because Peter has denied Him thrice. , This also reveals how Jesus looked upon humanity, “as sheep needing a shepherd,” Matt. 9 .and John 10. He then reveals the qualifications for doing this shepherding, it must be a devoted life to Him one of love. This as he wrote it with the view of rer vealing the Lord through and by certain selected signs and sayings. The Resurrection, of course, is the ultimate sign and is the one supreme sign which truly reveals Jesus as v the Son of God. Easter means Rising from the Dead. BROILER RAISERS !

Johnson, animal pathologist at VPI Agricultural Experiment Station, says the vaccinating should be done about a month before the birds come into production; and can. v be done at the same time as vaccination for Newcastle disease. Always use chcken-pox virus for turkeys, and also for chickens unless they are already laying. In the latter i case, use pigeon-pox virus. It is often necessity to revaccinate turkeys every 6 months to keep a high level of immunity.

Highway Accidents Increase The nation’s increasing grist of automobile deaths and crippling injuries, was pictured today as an endless "Operation Heartbreak” by a traffic safety authority who estimated in human terms “the uncounted! indirect toll” of highway accidents— their emotional impact upon the growing legion of bereaved close relatives of the victims. Mr. Blaisdell buttressed his outline of “Operation Heartbreak” with the simple words of a bereaved Illinois mother who lost a son in an automobile accident in 1952. She wrote to him about her family’s tragedy with what he described as ~ “the typical mother’s heartbreak” which is seldom expressed in a letter,, offering her services as a volunteer in traffic safety work and seeking his advice on how to proceed in this field. Her letter to Mr. Blaisdell follows : Although more than 20,000,000 persons have under goi^p “Operation Heartbreak” following the fatal and, serious highway accidents of the last ten years Mr. Blaisdell said, the average American is still quite un- x aware of this grim aspect of thej traffic safety problem. If they were, he added, millions of them would take more direct action in their owq communities to make the highway safer. - -..... .. ..___ “Recently an editorial appeared in| the “Chattanoogo Times,” Chattanooga, Tennessee, relative to your plan to reduce highway accidents. In view of the fact that I have a very deep personal interest in doing everything I can to help put this plan before our legislators and others in, authority, I obtained your address from the editor. “As a citizen, I feel that such a plan is most worthy of. everyone’s consideration. As the mother of a 15 year old boy who was: one of the 38,000 Americans who lost their lives in 1952 and whose life was entirely dependent upon a 15 year old| licensed driver who had control of the car with two guests at his mercy, I will wholeheartedly enlist to recruit others to get behind the powers that be to put such a plan intq effect as soon as possible. “Mr. Blaisdell, what can I do? I know there is something that I can do so that other families may not_ have such a tragedy. I will write to our Senators and Congressmen, of; course, but first I would like to lcnow» more about the plan. I will appreciate; it very much if you will send me any pamphlets or other information so: that I might be better ‘educated’ on the subject. I am really sincere wheni I say that I want to help put youri plan into effect and await your suggestions.” Observe The Brush Burning Law SINGER SEWING MACHINE — One demonstrator available at .. reduced ^.price.

Washington *• * jMMBBMBSMMO as viewed by YOUR SENATOR A. WILLIS ROBERTSON GENERAL TAX REVISION! SHOULD BE POSTPONED Hearings on the 875 page tax revision bill, which has' been passed by the House, were started by the Senate Finance Committee last week and are scheduled to be concluded before the end of this month. Much of the debate in the House centered around the question of whether priority in reducing taxes should be giveji to measures which would tend to stimulate [business, such as liberal depreciation allowances and ther removal of some of the double taxation of dividends, or to measures which would encourage consumer spending, such as increasing personal exemptions. That same argument will be resumed in the Senate with political emphasis on the question of which portions of our population will Th* reason More Fanners hare bought MORE DeKalb than any Other Com for 13 straight years, is because they Like It And this year, the demand for DeKalb is HIGHER than ever before.

MORGAN JOHNSTON Phone 2916 Washington receive the _ most important to keep up production and those who fed that the chief need right now is more ? buyers for the things which are tieing produced. The important fact about this bill, to my m>nd, however, is the one mentioned by the Secretary of the Treasury in his testimony before the Senate Finance Committee last week. Secretary Humphrey said that the pending bill was designed primarily as "a reform of our tax structure rather than as a tax reduction mea. sure. * From my experience' of ten years as a member of the House Ways and Means Committee I am well, aware of the inequities and inconsistencies which have crept into our tax system over the years and of the need for a general overhauling. That need, however, does not justify us in hastily accepting a revision which has had too little consideration; which would thoroughly confuse taxpayers and create what has been referred to as “a tax lawyer's paradise.” Friends in the House of Representatives have informed me that not only was the pending bill passed without the members generally knowing what is in it were given little opportunity to find out what it meant and what it will do. I have been told that complicated1 questions of the type to which we used to devote days and even weeks of study when I was working on tax bills, were rushed to a vote in the committee meetings after only a few minutes of consideration. It seems obvious to me, therefore, that members of the Senate cannot find out what is in this huge bill during the course of three weeks of ^hearings and that members of the Senate will be asked to take it on faith—not even faith in theirs fellow members of the Senate, but faith that Treasury Department technicians and their outside advisers, who drew the various sections of the bill, put into it things which we would want included. I, for one, am not inclined to perform any such act of faith. It seems to me the best thing for us to do is to extend the corporate income tax ratq of 52 percent for another year, as is , done in th£ pending bill, and postpone the tax revision plan- for more thorough study. We badly need the $1,200,(XX),000 of additional revenue which this tax extension would produce. We can ill afford the tax reductions totalling $1,400,000,000 which are included in the bill. But, more important, we do not want to take action which might give large windfalls to some taxpayers who do not need them». and at the same time unexpectedly penalize others, like the Virginia corporation which I was told might lose more than threequarters of a million dollars in one lump sum if the bill is passed as sent to us from the House.

Shenandoah National Park Closed To Fishing ' 4 All waters of Shenandoah Nation. al Park will be closed to fishing durinK~thel954~seaso~n7Ttwas announce ed recently by Guy D. Edwards, Park Superintendent. This emergency action has been taken .in order to protect the remaining native species of eastern Ibrook trout and insure natural reproduction for future angling following a recent series of severe climatic disasters to the trout population in Park streams. , A program of studies on the fishery resources of .Shenandoah National Park has been in progress since October of 1952. Personnel of the Branch of Fishery Biology, U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Department of the. Interior are engaged in the program to determine the potential of the Park waters and the means by which a maximum, sustained yield of native trout can be insured. Observations made on the fish populations in representatives Park waters during the past month have led these trained biologists to recommend closing the streams to, fishing this year in order tp enable the native stock to recuperate from the serious damages inflicted by Mother Nature. These observations and recommendations by the biologists which led to the decision, of the Park authorities to close the Park to fishing during the 1954 season are given below. ~ Drought conditions in October and November of 1953 reduced the amount of natural spawning in most streams. This was followed by the severe drought of late summer and fall of 1953 causing sections of many streams to dry up completely. Natural spawning was again greatly curtailed and the supply of fish food organizations was drastically reduced. Climaxing these unfavorable happenings was the sudden flood of March 1, 1954, which resulted from over 4 inches of rain in a twelve* hour period in which streams rose as high as 10 feet above their normal level. This flash flood literally secured the stream beds, destroyed much of the remaining—trout -food— and killed,' washed away and left stranded many fish, especially newlyhatched trout fry. Tiny living trout were observed and collected in flood pools offside and away from the mainstream beds. The combined effects of the droughts and flood have been so de-__ trimental to the trout population that the streams are unable to support; angling in 1954 and still retain sufficient adult stock for spawning purposes next fall. The legal size trout observed and exajnined during recent studies were very thin and in poor condition. It would be impractical at present to attempt nature in restoring trout populations by planing hatchery fish, as food supplies are so low now that planted fish would have difficulty sustaining themselves and would also be in direct competition with native trout for whatever little food is available. Previous studies in the Park have shown that under normal weather~ conditions the .natural reproduction of brook trout is adequate to maintain good angling. It was indeed unfortunate that the streams have recently been subjected to such serious consequences of drought and flood. Studies made this March .indicate that there should be sufficient native trout present to repopulate the streams arid perhaps provide- some fishing next year. . It is considered inadvisable to stock legal size trout and leave the streams open to angling as planted Ibrook trout are mostly removed during the first 2 or 3 weeks of the season, and careful studies have indicated* those not caught usually die before or during their first winter in the' Stream. The remaining native trout would also be caught out through such a program creating a sittMHon Contrary to the best interests' of sportsmen interested in natural fishing conditions and the National , P.ark Service. , J It is not advisabe to close streams aand leave others open, to fishing, be concentrated on the open waters Extra heavy ‘fishing pressure would which could easily result in further serious reduction of the already small brood stocks, j Additional studies will be made throughout ,1954 to check on the recovery of the streams and to make recommendations to improve the angling in the Park. It is the purpose of the National Park Service to assist in the perpetuation of the wild f. trout populations arid still provide the maximum amount of fishing recreation whenever possible. The cooperation of fishermen is of utmost importance in helping to maintain this form of our national heritage.

Problem Of The Dairyman By Ezra Taft Benson Secretary of Agriculture One of agriculture's biggest problems is also one of the easiest to solve. The solution lies not with government or its officials but" with niillions of Americans who can and should drink an extra glass or two of milk each week and eat a few additional pieces of butter. At present the dairy industry is confronted with population and marketing problems that stem from increasing output, declining exports and a reduction in per capita consumption. It is important to see that these troubles are not perpetuated. The government now has more than 1,320,000,000 pounds of dairy products in storage. These surpluses were acquired by supporting dairy prices at 90 percent of parity. They are products that should have gone to consumers but instead went into f government warehouses. To make dairying a strong and independent part of our agricultural economy these surpluses must be disposed of and a proper adjustment made between production and consumption. The easiest way to do this is to increase consumption. Since 1945 the annual per capita consumption of fluid milk and cream —has declined 47 pounds; For the same - period consumption of butter dropped the equivalent of an additional 45 pounds of milk. Our people need to eat more dairy products. If the full dietary needs of the nation were being met, there would actually he a shortage of these products. Milk is good. It is the mostl nearly perfect $i all foods for children, young people and adults. Milk is cheap. A recent study shows that the nutrients contained in a quart of milk would cost 42 cents if obtained from other sources. Tn an effort to encourage the use of dairy products and in compliance with the law, I recently reduced the) dairy price support level from 90 to 75 per cent of parity. It is my belief that more realistic prices, coupled with a vitorous educational and promotion program stressing the value, of dairy products, will go a long way toward reestablishing the industry on a farm and profitable basis. I am required by law to fix dairy supports at a point between 75 and 90 percent of parity that will assure an adequate supply. In view of both rate exceeding' consumption, the Solicitor of the Department of Agriculture ruled I would have to set the supports for the coming year at 75 percent. , ‘There has been some complaint that under the President’s new farm program, the reduction in dairy supports should have'been gradual. Actually the President proposed gradual changes in moving basic commodities from a rigid to flexible support program and from old to modernized parity. There was no such recommendation on dairy products, which were already on a flexible basis. There is considerable difference between the basic commodities and dairy products. The basics are stor able and they are subject to productions control. Dairy products are, perishable. In fact they are only perishable commodity on which price supports are mandatory. In addition, there is no control of production. Whlie it woud appear that the dairy supports were cut 15 points, the actual reduction is 12 and 9 points. Because of wjder marketing margins <iasi year, tU percent supports refleeted 87 percent of parity to the farmer on butterfat and* only 84 percent on manufactured milk. As I understand the law, the full 75 percent of parity must now be passed on to the farmer. I will see that this is done. Peola Mills News -Mrs. E. B.
