We have on several occasions had items in error sent in to be published. An article not accompanied by the writer’s signature will forthwith foe consigned to the waste-basket. The second request we have is: do not send any advertising notices or reading notices of proposed Bingo games, to be published in the paper. The Postal Regulations forbid any such advertising of a game of chance, and it is embarrassing for us to have to return the notice to you informing you that jt is not legal, - o o o o Last week was one for us. No one came thorough with the right answer to our question. We had several answers but they did not agree with “Letters of the Presidents”, our source of information that Grover Cleveland made the statement.

Senator Joe McCarthy has been the loudest to holler about the Fifth Amendment hiders — but I have not been able to figure out the difference in them and a senator hiding behind senatorial immunity and slandering our Army’ officers and other citizens of this country.

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: fin advance) ----$2.00 a year The Passing Scene The passing scene of highway history is not a pleasant one. It is littered With the accumulated wreckage of fifty years of accidents. It is strewn with the bodies of more than a /million killed. Among its population it numbers 40 to 45 million persons who have been injured. Its economic waste soars in the billions. And around the bend of the future, this scene is even more ghastly to contemplate. At the present rate, it should take only half the time to accomplish the same violence, destruction and carnage. Each year, we stand at a milestone of the passing scene and total up the grim score. We have seen dirt roads become roaring super-highways. We have seen automobiles grow from one-lunged toys to giants of more than 200 horsepower. We have (seen the safety crusade grow from a few slogans of admonition to a mighty outpouring of warning facts and figures, pictures and articles, slogans and speeches. (But each year, we have seen the careless and the heedless rush by to destruction; the family outing turn into a mass tragedy; the speeding tourist taking a trip to nowhere; the party-goer dashirfg home to a life of pain. Out of the cold record of statistics we have tried each year to recreate the human beings whose last look at the passing scene was one of ultimate terror. The head-on collision, the curve missed, the blinding glare of undimmed headlights, the scream of brakes at an intersection, the helpless skid on wet pavement. Over the years, a thousand plans and panaceas have crossed our desks. Highway construction is the answer. Safety belts are the cureall ; padded ^instrument panels; speed governors; electronic police, men; higher—licensing—requirements. All these and many more are advanced as the one final answer to the problem of highway accidents. Putting all thousand into effect would undoubtedly help. But it is our conviction that neither science nor engineering, no matter how wisely or widely applied, can provide a permanent solution. This problem has its roots in the minds of. men, and it is there we must look for the answer. Annual studies of highway accidents have shown that more than ninety per cent of the vehicles involved were in good condition; the highways were adequate if used at the speeds for which they were designed. The weather was found to be a negligible factor. Curved roads were found to be no more hazardous than straight ones. Over the whole span of the pass-' - ing scene, it has been found that these were the variables in tHTS equation of highway safety. The constant, unchanging factor was the man, woman, or child who sat behind the wheel of a car and transformed it from a useful servant to a projectile of destruction; or who, as a pedestrian walked carelessly into the path of danger. We are not psychologists. We cannot attempt to analyze the motives or impulses by which rational human beings become automotive killers. We know that some of these are too complex for the layman to understand. But some are so obvious that they sound a steady theme throughout our statistical surveys. Excessive speed is a killer, so is driving while intoxicated, weary or ill. Violation of the rules of the road is a prelude to disaster, so are gross Carelessness and the willful abuse of highway etiquette. Although it is not our function to analyze or moralize more deeply, the conclu-, sion is obvious. In most accidents, the guilty party is man and not machine, mind and not motor, reflex and not roadway. If the passing scene is to grow more peaceful and less deadly, the great change will have to come from the drivers and pedestrians who are now causing fatal accidents at the rate of more than ninety per day. Today, the automobile is a mixed (blessihg. Only by a personal commitment to care caution, and control can we restore it to the role of useful servant and end the reign of terror on which "we ourselves have started it. Letter To The Editor OUR SCHOOLS AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT Except for four counties, the organization of the public school system in Virginia is without any rhyme or reason. In effect for more than fifty years, it was designed, in 1902, to prevent any control of the schools by the people. . Arlington alone has an elected school board; a system which the aroused taxpayers of that county demanded and received by special legislation. Henrico, Warwick and Albemarle, by adopting a reformed system of local government, threw over the anticipated laws which were delil>erately designed to take control of the funds away from the people. In 96 counties the barrier remains and the taxpayers have no contrrol over the funds which they pay for their schools. In Fairfax County, for instance, 94% of all public funds are expended by appointed officials over whom the voters have no control -whatever.Informed taxpayers have, for many years, suffered an increasing feeling of frustration and futility. The smoldering resentment of the people has increased with the knowledge that their tax money was not being spent for the things which wouITdo the greatest good for the greatest number. Let’s take a look—a hard look—at how our system operates. First, the General Assembly appoints the judges of the circuit courts. Each circuit consists of a number of counties. The judges are chosen from the politically deserving; with this factor—rather than their professional competence—the criteria. Moreover, the fudges salary is too low to attract the best lawyers ir many cases. In each county undei his control, the judge appoints a School Trustee Electoral Board of three members. These, in turn, appoint the members eff the school board. The school board then appoints a division superintendent from a list furnished by the state. This long and tortuous chain is designed to extend far beyond the reach of the people and to spread the responsibility so thin that it all but disappears. The superintendent of schools and those who dedicate their lives to teaching our children cannot turn to the people for the schools and equip* ment which they need. Co-operation between the taxpayers and those whose lives are spent in helping the children is almost impossible unde* this^ intolerable atrd ridiculous set of laws. In most states, school officials may corrfe to the people- when funds are needed to keep jig. ayith new, needs, and “ an increasing population. The ' rapport between the schools and the people is kept favorable. "The only elected local officials in Virginia are the boards of supervisors. Yet their control of funds is less than 6% of the tax money. There is a similar remoteness in other branches of the state government. . Tn Virginia, money \$ placed in a “State Literary Fund”; or, revolving fund built, since 1804, by fines and penalties and managed by obscure bookkeeping methods to prevent the people from- obtaining any Understanding of their public finances. In 1949, people in Fairfax County became aroused and demanded that these hidden! state funds be utilized. State officials denied that any surpluses existed, Investigation disclosed that $84,800,000 in idle funds was on hand—and furthermore that an additional $42,100,000 unallocated surjplus would accrue in two more - years. At first, state officials denied that there would be more than $5,000,000 in surplus funds. Later, they admitted to $12,000,000. During the hot four-way gubernatorial campaign of 1949, this amount began to increase as the race became closer. Governor Battle made campaign promises of outright - grants to counties to build schools. Finally the entire $84,000,000 was admitted and placed in conditional appropriations and, in addition, $30,000,000 of unallocated surplus was admitted. v Governor Battlf kept his campaign promises. Thus the method by which the General Assembly had hidden all this money was exposed. But the facts behind this spectacular exposure where not generally known or understood by the people. The faulty and obsolete form of county government is responsible for the failure of. the taxpayer’s funds to meet his needs. The school system must be brought closer to the people. The people have the power to adopt a better form of government by a simple referendum within each county. Naturally there are reactionaries and local political bosses who would bitterly fight any change— but this would be too little avail against taxpayers who were aware of the facts. The people can regain their rights if they vote for them. Full responsibility should be placed in the hqmds of the supervisors, directly elected by the people. The tax money, the appointments, and the entire busness of government should be placed on their shoulders, together with the full responsibility. For the people do have control over their elected officials. A Board of Supervisors must, of necessity, be responsive to the wishes of the people themselves. They would fail of reelection if they were not. . The citizens of Fairfax County, by becoming organized and aroused: 1. Registered and got out the heaviest vote ever. 2. Passed a bond issue for schools. 3. Exposed the State’s hidden surpluses.and forced their use.-=4. Exposed the weakness of the-local government. 5. Adopted a new form, with greater local control. 6. Demanded and got a more responsive school control. 7. Demanded democracy and showed that it works. The voters here can do that, too! —Alfred M. Hickman AHUAH FORESEES A DIVIDED KINGDOM I Kings 11 and 12 By Rev. G. M. Profitt In this csson we see the foreshadowing of the dividing of the Kingdom of Solomn into two hostile Kingdoms. What are some of these forces which entered into this process? At first King Solomn was a very humble man, ferocrent in prayer and faithful unto God in religious worship. This accounts for the wisdom he had and for the mushroom like rise of his kingdom to one of greatness and importance in the realm of world affairs. But as time went on he began to let the pride of life, possibly resulting from his wealth, etc, the lust of the eye and flesh turn him from the Lord to other gods and along with the unholy alliance with the heathem nations through marrying their daughters and bringing them into the Lord's Kingdom also • helped * turn- him completely from yGod to idalitry. However, he himself tnay not have openly worshipped the idols of his many wines, but his compromising attitude toward such things in order to please the many wines and keep peace in his harem is just as guilty as though he had committed the crime himself. He knew, better, but permitted it to be carried on and also this encouraged others df the children of Israel do like wise, therefore the Lord ’held him responsible. “He that knoweth to do good and <doeth it not unto h$m if i&. sin.” . . , ) The Scripture says, “His heart was not perfect toward the Lord,” therefore when the heart which is the center of religious worship begins to" slip and the world begins to enter in, before we know it, the world has crowded the remainder of religion out anad completely taken over the whole of life. A man’s actions and deeds are the outward manifectations of whaat he inwardly believes.Now God was greatly displeased with all this and Divine anger will always manifest itself in some form of punishment.

Freer \Villson of Greenwich, Connecticut has purchased High Meadow Farm of about 200 acres and situated (in_ Rappahannock County). near Orlean in the Old Dominion Hunt Territory, from Mr, and Mrs., Carl H. S. Jurgens. The property was purchased by the present owner in 1940 at which time the charming field stone home was competely restored and modernized. Since that time Mrs. Jurgens has been using the farm as breeding establishment for. her race horses in addition to the herd of Black Angus Cattle. Mr. Willson and his family have for the past two years been living in Italy and have just recently returned to their home in Greenwich, Connecticut, which they are placing on the market preparatory to making thfeir permanent home n Virginia. j The Jurgens plan to live in Newport, R.

One woman, we hear is actually making people! If so much time and ingenuity goes into the planning the show is bound to be interesting. Rappahannock had a good representation at Culpeper at the Shenandoah District Flower Show last' Saturday. Not only did many people from this count/ attend, but several ribbons were brought back by women, who entered that show, the most remarkable one to note was a composition made iby Mrs. Rayner V. Snead, which won the tri-color for the -Whole show, that is to say her, one composition won the three ribbons which mean “best in the show.” The Rappahannock Garden Club has made application to try for the same special award which they won with their first flower show a few years ago. Only a very few such awards are won in the state and it is quite an honor to the club that won it on a first show. Gub members are going all-out to make this show so /beautiful that no one Can afford to miss. Schedules of the classes to be shown with a list of rules can be gotten from Mrs. Lewis Turner in. Washington, Mrs. Lucio Kilby in Sperryville, or Mrs. James Settle in Flint Hill. (Continued from page 2) warn against all this foolishness and court frivality, but they heeded not his warning. Solomn continued to over taax the people and oppress them in order to keep up his harem and the pomp and splendor of the court. This also tended to bring about disention and unrest among his people. So that when Solomn, died . and his son Rehofoan took the throne he being proud and houghty as well as self-willed continued the same practice as his father an^ the people rebelled against him. Tins caused two kingdoms instead of one, leaving only one tribe following Rehoboan, Judah only. Some truths that we get from this lesson. - — - The wines and concubines were introduced to add to the gaitlyand splendor of the court. The love of display is destructive" of Christian simplicity. It has ruined many by the # silly desire to vie with their wealthy * neighbors, weaning the heart from God and his cause and ruined many families, as well as swelling the list of commercial failures. It draws away its victims into associations and pursuits which leads to Moloch. Another lesson is that, “Woman was given man for a comforter, and not for a counsellor, much less for a controller and director.” Bishop George Barlow. Another lesson' is, God never strikes without first warning and giving the culprit a chance to repent. He warned Solomn and then also Rehoboan, but neither heeed so the ax had to fall in punishment. Evil companions also corrupt good morals, such evil companionship breaks down one’s ideals of purity. compare r our auto rates today Good drivers make important dollar saving# with Farm Bosun* Fall standard coverage— convenient 6 xnontn renewal plan—non-assessabfo— over 2 million protected.

WINDSOR LODGE COW v‘ ■ V* GLENN WILLIAMS’ CALF Rappahannock Artificial breeding Association completed its first year of operation successfully and April started tlie second year our dairymen are facing the future with a goal » of more efficient ^producing cows through the many advantages offered by their organization. With declining milk and butter markets no better goal could be established as authorities state “it is efficient production of the individual cows in a herd that counts.” _In fact dairymen themselves prove* this statement in the manner they price their heifers bred for high pro—duction. Ask Woody Coughlin or Glenn Williams what sort of a price tag was on the heifers seen at the T. T. Curtis faim in Orange or at Frank Walker’s herd in Madison, Incidentally these two men are real dirt farmers who are in the business to make a good living and have been doing as well as anyone in the east. Furthermore they are well established but even so are breeding artifically< Thus you can see why I’m so pleased to know that any Rappahannock farmer can, through artifical breeding, breed his cow to as good a bull as can be found most any place at a price well within his reach. Many of the farmers who have the foresight to take advantage of this opportunity could not pay $150.00 for a 6-10 month old production bred heifer but m can pay a seven dollar breeding fee. It also pleases me very much tc know Gordon Thornhill (telephone Sperryville-3410) has a years experience as breeding technician and is doing an excellent jo!b. Check the records and see for yourself; compare conception rates artiflcally with those of natural methods on some of out own farms. Gordon knows his job and" now has experience. The proof of the pudding is here: cows bred artifically in the Rappahannock Association Began calving in February. ^Already I know of heifer calves born to cows owned by Bub Gore, Fred Dodson, Windsor Lodge Faarm, E. B Combs, Mrs. John Dennis, John T. Woodward, Woodrow Coughlin, and Glenn Williams. „ What are^ these calves likejt Above is shown a heifer calf bom from a holstein cow at Windsor Lodge Farm at Huntly. This calf was sired by Fobes Netherland Ormsby Komdyke, whose 14 daughters under test averaged 12,077 lbs. of milk on twice a day milking. Now that means ovei 4 1/2 gallons of milk per day. Yes, there are many cows that will produce this much milk for a few months but to hold this sort ol average for ten months is something else. Their 14 dams with 40 records averaged 9984 lbs. in milk. This heifer is out of a cow thal produced as follows: 1951—9317 lbs For Bread At It’s Best Try Royal-Twist * Get it thick-sliced for hearty young appetites! Cover its delicious goodness with the kids’ favorite spread and serve, with , a glass of milk! There’s health-building energy for you. ROYAL BAKING GO. FRONT ROYAL, VIRGINIA milk in 326 days; 1353-3749 lbs. milk in 268 days; 1953—40,240 lbs. milkini 281 days. Thus you see $he is ojit; of a much better than average cow and yet a oow whose production is. similar to the dams of Komdyke’s daughters which proved him to be a . bull capable of siring better produce ang cows. How much bettef? His daughters produced an average of more than a ton of milk than their dams! Thus you can see that the ' heifer above could well be expected to produce a ton more milk than her dam. On today's market the extra milk she would produce in one ye&r —would be worth $44.94 at grade B prices! The average productive lifq of a cow is about eight year thus you can see for a $7.00 breeding fee an increased production value of $359.52 is not an unreasonable expectation! Figure the percent return. Windsor Lodge bred 77 cows artifically the first year our association was in operation. Says Manager B. C. Jackson, "I’m a firm believer in artifically breeding, you can be sure of getting cows that produce higher in both foutterfat and milk and the cows are 4 larger.” Mr. Jackson’s experience with artifical breeding dates back to 1949 so it is nothing, new with him. Gelnn ^Williams .of Flint Hill bred fourteen of his cows through ‘the Rappahanrtock Association during the first'year of his membership. Says Glen, “I’m very pleased with my two - heifer calves bom so far. They have never given me a minute’s trouble.” •One of Genn’s heifers shown above .is a daughter of Glenafton Rag Apple Emerald whose daughters on test produced 14,199 lbs. of milk and 526 lbs. of fat. , ; GORDON HEIFER ' Windsor Lodge .> <xxxxxxxmxmmm^ SEWING MACHINES—We repair Ina*ce** fr#e stimates, -in advance.
