Rappahannock News, December 16, 1954

VOLUME 6—NUMBER 7 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY MORNING, DECEMBER116, 1954 Price $2.00 PER YEAH The Board of Supervisors of _Northumberland County have struck upon a unique manner for increasing their local revenue. They have adopted several ordinances which are designed to capture for county Use revenue "which at present goes/to the state. The ordinances covensuch offenses as disorderly conduct, drunken — driving, drunkeness in public and the use of profane and provocative language. By making these acts a violation of county law, they do not break state laws, but rather parallel them. They may, if passed, bring a nice little sum into the treasurey. We view the result of these proposals with interest. Perhaps Rappahannock may profit by Northumberland’s example. This extra money could very well be the source of funds for these in-the• future schools. O O 'O o The Chief Signal Officer at the time when the Weather Service was part of the Signal Corps, was in years past known as Old Probabilities. Although several persons phoned in an answer to last week’s question, none hit upon the correct one. Since this question was a rather hard one, we’ll treat you this week to an easy one: “With what question do you associate the name, Virginia O’Hanlon?’’ o o o o Some weeks ago, Leon Green-’ away advanced the idea of a con-signment sale which would give _the farmers and other citizens a market for machinery and materials that are good but just not needed by them—simultaneously it would make available to the buyer various products at a relatively low cost. Several persons have made known their interest in such a sale, during these intervening weeks. Many more, however, must indicate their approval of the project before it would be logical to initiate the sales. Several citizens are anxious to begin the sales or at least advance plans, so they could have an early start in the spring. Think about these sales, and talk over the idea with your neighbors. Voice your approval or your rejection of «this plan, and the reasons you feel as you do. 0 0 0 6 :W>’ Senator Joe McCarthy has prompted many an outburst of oratory, some rich, some decidely inferior and more indifferent in quality. The following thoughts— borrowed from a fellow editor—we feel may well come to rest among the “rich.” It is reassuring to reflect that Senator Joe McCarthy is not new in American history and that, like his predecessors, he’ll probably pass from the scene, leaving no significant trace upon the sands of our time. There have been others ‘like him. Huey Long, for a time, cut quite'a figure as he tried to convert the American people to the way of thinking to which he had managed to sway a majority of his fellow Louisianians—that every man, with his help, could be a king. With a ruthlessness equal to Joe’s, and with the same arrogant assumption of selfrighteousness— and a corollary assumption that all who disagreed with him should be destroyed in the public interest— he occupied, for a time, a prominent, if sometimes also disturbing place in the public mind.

In addition the five members present, disposed of minor business matters. Each council member offered ~ suggestions as to what to include - on the bulletin, and the form in which it would be presented. Mrs. Davis, mayor, brought up several __ places of unusual interest in the vicinity of Washington, for example Devil Stairs, which might be included on the sketched map of the town. These sites would speak of the true personality of the town, as to most citizens they are familiar landmarks. Various sample leaflets were looked over as jvell as samples of types of paper to be used._■ . Mrs. Morgan Johnston was appointed chairman of the leaflet committee and Mrs. A. M. Verner and Miss Ruby Jenkins will talk to several of the town’s older citizens concerning likely material to be included in the leaflet. Smaller matters discussed in the meeting included: a report from the clerk that Mr. Clopton had . written stating that the matter of the “propless roof” would be taken care of promptly; and a complaint. that had teen registered about the mud holes near Washington Cash Store on -Blue. Ridge Avenue. Mayor Davis will Consult the Resident Engineer on this situation in addition to sevgral other road problems. ' . “DICKIE” WAYLAND ABOARD USS BRAINE Richard V.

Districts Contribute $362.80 To TB Drive Christmas Seal sales have felt a short drop the past week as the six districts contributed, jointly, an additional $95.30 to the county fund for fighting tuberculosis. - The individual districts have given as follows: Hampton, $111.80; Wakefield, $69.50; Piedmont, $54.00; Stonewall, $47.50; Jackson, $42.50 Hawthorne,, $37.50, thus a total of $362.80. Every year, Christmas Seals represent an honorable cause and a struggle against the unknown. This year, however, they embody both discoveries of past Christmas Seal dollars, and a possible end result. For slowly, but surely, there is evolving a possible curb to the disease. At this point in research, factors are beginning to fall together in likely patterns, and a solution may be upon us. That is why more than ever, this year each one must give his share, to push on this step of research which may lead to conquering TB—To conquer this TB which claimed 2 deaths in the county last year, and which spells misery for at least 19 county victims. To conquer this disease that promises only a heritage of raspy coughs and tiredness.

Publisher Entered as second -class mail matter at the post office at Washington, Virginia SUBSCRIPTION: (in advance) ___$2.00 a year The Story of The First Christmas Tree A long, long time ago an angel visited a forest of sleeping trees to bring them the good tidings that a new King had been born. The voice of the angel ringing through t the still night awakened the trees, and at once there was great excitement. The trees boastfully discussed what .thfey could offer the new King. “I,” boomed the giant oak proudly, “will give, the King all my acorns.” “Acorns!” scoffed the pecan tree. “They can’t compare with the delicious nuts I shall give Him.” “Ho, ho!” laughed the jolly apple tree. “Who wants nuts when my apples are so tasty?” “Such a common fruit!” said the fig tree. “My figs are a much better gift.” “Oh, food is all right I suppose,” said the stately elm. “But my shade will protect the King from the hot sun.” There was silence for a moment, and suddenly into that silence there came a sobbing. All the trees looked around to see a tiny evergreen huddled close to ‘the ground, its green needles shaking with every sob. “What’s your trouble?” roared the big oak disdainfully. “I have nothing to offer the new King,” choked the sorrowful little evergreen. “I am too small for shade and I don’t bear any fruit.” “Nobody would expect anything from the ltk.es of you,” scoffed the fig tree. The angel W’ho had been listening to the trees was moved with gnnmmTrm; pity for the evergreen and suddenly called forth more angels, each carrying a shining-star.They gathered around the little evergreen and decorated- its branches with their stars. Much to the amazement of the other trees, the tiny evergreen became a thing of beauty, in itself a truly wondrous gift for the new King. And since that time, long ago, families the world around have trimmed the branches of the little evergreen even as the angels did oh that First of all Christmases— and the humble, lowly little tree has become a symbol of the joyful Yuletide Spirit. The Legend of The Poinsetiia In Mexico, on a certain Christmas Eve many years ago, little Rosita was on her way to church for the service to honor the Christchild. Other boys and girls of the town walked along w-ith nimble steps and smiling faces; but Rosita was sad and she could hardly drag her feet along for she had no gift to lay at the foot of the altar for the Holy Child. Suddenly she remembered that she had not prayed to the Lord for help in her trouble. So she knelt down on the cold ground, closed her tearfilled eyes, and offered her prayer. Hardly had she finished and opened her eyes, when there before her a beautiful plant was springing up from the ground, with bright red leaves like a gorgeous flower. Her prayer had been heard. Here was her gift. She quickly gathered the flamecolored flowers and with a light heart she hurried into the church and placed them as her present to : how to moke sure every beau gets the right Stetson... r ?. v> Smartest way to wrap up all your Christmas , shopping problems is with a Stetson gift certificate in a miniature hat-in-box.
