Rappahannock News, December 30, 1954

OEC 3 1 iqtj4 Mm m WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 30, 1954 VOLUME 6—NUMBER 9 I We heartily approve Governor Stanley’s decision to use State funds instead of the pittance the Federal Government has made available for conducting a state survey on education in preparation for the White House Conference requested by the United States Department of Health, Education and Welfare. Maybe this department, made to give 'Mrs. Hobby a lucrative job, will eventually get around to doing some good. GoY. Stanley’s view on this survey was: “I believe a Virginia * conference can serve useful pur- poses in promoting better understanding and support of our educational system, but I am of the opinion ouj conference should be • planned*' conddSted and financed from our own resources.” The Governor’s attitude seems to be that 'he who pays the fiddler will call the tune’; For a free subscription to the News be tlie first to give us the correct answer to the following: “Forty-seven states have a ‘Blue Sky’ law. What state does not?” 0600 ' Sons* pressure has been put on the members of the Rescue Squad • to start charging for their services. The members of this organization did not start out with that intention for they feel that they .* owe something to the community in which they live. To date they have been able to pay their own way from donations and a few entertainments, and they feel the citizens of this county will not let % them down now. The Rescue ———Sauad is sponsoring a dance next week to help keep the organizaf tion going. You are invited to do your part by attending, or if you would rather make a contribution send it to C. T. Bruce, treasurer, Washington. The Rescue Squad does not confine its services to any one locality. They are on ,call 24 hours each day—all you have to do is call Washington 2221 and say it is an emergency. ' 1?*'' : ~-.V" A n A A We feel that a vote of thanks is due the; ladies of a neighboring community'for their co-operation in judging the door decorations in ;; Washington for the Christmas season. And while we are at it an apology should be made for the . phone call by one citizen critizing t the ladies in their decision. Why do some people have to be such _____ poor sports and not be able to take defeat as graciously as they '? 'X would fake victory? | CONFIRMATION CLASS TO BEGIN JANUARY 10 Beginning Monday, January 10 and continuing each Monday thru February 28, classes of instruci tion in preparation for Confirmation will be offered in Bromfield Parish. These classes are open to anyone. The children's class will be held from 4 to 5 o'clock and the adul£ class from 7:30 to 8 o'clock p.m. Both classes will be conducted at the Rectory.

This approval is the result of a second appeal by county officials to the state and federal authorities. The first request was refused but following a survey made by the County Agent and PMA offices, a truer picture evolved and after reviewing the case, the state committees agreed to Rappahannock’s inclusion in the program. The question was referred to the federal authorities several weeks ago. Several changes have taken place in the program. These can be best explained by the county officials carrying out the program Applications for hay may be filled out at the County Agent’s office and those for grain at the PMA office. The grains available under thd “"■relief program consist of com, oats, barley, sorhum cane or a mixture of these. They can be procured by purchase order from any local dealer. The allotment is $1 per 100 cwt. on any of these grains. Included in the Federal-State Drought Emergency Program for hay are the following: * t . . •__A!. ? jruiy iaiuici iau sign up iui uio program provided his principal occupation is farming. The County Farm Home Committee will make the filial decision "as to whether the farmer is eligible to receive the freight allowance and how much hay he is entitled to under the program, in accordance with instructions from the Federal Government. ' -—— — ‘‘Generally speaking, an eligible farmer is entitled to enough hay to carry his foundation herds of —cattle, sheep or goats from the time he applied through March 1, 1955, or for 60 days, whichever is the longer period. From March 1 until the end of the program on March 31, he can get up to another 60-day supply, provided he can get delivery by ' March 31. If a farmer does not want to take delivery on his total allotment of hay at one time, he should apply for just the amount of hay on which he wants to take delivery and make a separate application for more hay later. ' Applications for less than one ton will not be approved by the County FHA Committee. Hay ordered by a farmer in anticipation of approval by his} County FHA Committee is eftgible for the U.S.IXA. Freight Allowance, provided it is not delivered before the date of applications This year, the U.S.D.A. Freight Allowance will amount to onehalf of the actual freight cost, with a maximum of $10 per ton.” Prince William and Richmond were also approved by the Secretary for inclusion in the Relief Program.

Releases Analysis | An analysis released by the Virginia Education Association based on a study of the State Department of Education shows almost incredible variances in.wealth and effort among the counties and cities of the State to support public education. • Arlington has nearly 6 times the true wealth taxable for school purposes behind each xhild *» as Buchanan County. The wealth per child for Arlington is $29,734, for Buchanan County $5,083. The % ^ average for all the counties is $12,116. The cities have nearly twice as much wealth per child as the counties. Average wealtlj per ^ child in the cities is $22,425. ^ Because of its relatively great % ^wealth; Arlington with a true tax 4 rate of 79 cents per $100 raises $234 per child. Whereas, Grayson* because of its relative lack of wealth with the same tax rate as Arlington raises only $66 per 4 The 5 counties shown to exert the greatest effort to support public education are Alleghany, Appomattox, Fairfax,' Powhatan, and Prince George. The 6 counties exerting the least effort are Frederick, Highland, King & ’Queen, Loudoun, Warren and Washitlgton. If Washington County were exerting as much effort as Wythe County, both of which have about the same wealth per child, Washington County would have approximately an additional $220,000 to invest annually in public education. v 4*. 'Hie Virginia Education Association has long contended that a high percentage of State funds should be distributed in relation to local effort and ability. Such a system would encourage greater effort by those counties and cities which are dragging their feet. However, only around 20% of all State school funds are distributed S— EDUCATION, P«c 8 if j ■ M ftftftftl ft*,.-," P, ■ ip'} ...V" ft , '-p / ; AM'i :s;si£ i- -fti ■% 1 ' «/*,. f v ”, :/!■ - •' ■■■

The following poem, written by Russell Kay, secretary of the Florida Press Association was published in this paper a few years ago, but there have been several requests for it so we are going to re-publish it now.—Ed. ‘Twas the night after Christmas, and boy what a house l I felt like the devil,-and so did the Spouse. The eggnog and turkey and duidy were swell, But ten hours later, they sure gave me hell. . . _ . * The stockings wereh’t hung by the cmmney with care, The darn things were sprawled on the back of a chair. The children were nestled all snug in their bed, But I had a large cake of ice on my head. And when I finally dozed off in a nap, The ice cake woke me up when it • fell in my lap. Then for some unknown reason, I wanted a drink, So I started in feeling my way to the sink. I got along fine ’til I stepped on the cat, I don’t recall just what occured after that. When I came to, the house was all flooded with light, Although under the table?, I’m as high as a kite. While visions of sugar plums danced in my head, I somehow got up and then back into bed. Then what to my wandering mind should appear, * But a minature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer. The sleigh seemed to change to a red fire truck ^ And each reindeer turned into a bleary-eyed buck. I knew in a moment it must be old Nick. ~ And I tried to cry out but my tongue was too thick. Then the old devil whistled and shouted with glee While the bucks pawed the earth and looked daggers at me. Then he called them by name, and the names made me shudder, When I heard them I felt like a ship minus rudder. - . Now Egg-nog, Bacardi, Four Roses and Brandy, Now Fruit C'aVt* FWIrl HTnrlrPV Gin Rickey and Candy. To the tip of his dome, to the top of his skull, Now whack away, crack away with thumps that are dull. Then in a. twinkling I felt on my roof The prancing and pawing of each cloven hoof. How long this went on I’m sure I can’t say But it seemed like eternity, plus a long day. But finally the night after Christmas hajl passed And I found I really could think good at last. So I thought of the N<nv Year, a v few days away And I’ve made a vow that no tempter can sway. I’m sticking to water, don’t even want ice For there’s nothing as tasty and nothing as nice, The night after New Year’s may bother some guys „ But I’ve learned my lesson, arid Brother, I’m wise. You can have your victuals, and liquor that’s red But what goes to njy stomach won’ go to my head. 7 So a big Happy New Year to you. and to all, r I’m back on the wagon and I hope I don’t fall.

News Among Our' Colored Readers : C. R. H. S. NEWS By F. W. Nichols ; Realizing the need of agricultural training for young men duF* ing the transition period between vocational agriculture and veteran- training a Young Farmer Class has been organized at the Carver High School. So far, there are IS members enrolled in this class. These members consist of 16 former vocational agriculture student arid 2 veterans. The first two meetings of this class were devoted to setting up the program of wort, and electing officers. The officers elected were: Thomas Carpenter, President; Linwood Carpenter, Vice President; Aaron Garnett, Secretary; Lawrence Blankenbaker, Treasurer; and Treasure Arrington, Parliamentarian. This class is scheduled8 to meet on the second and fourth Tuesday nights of each month at the Carver High School. The first ninety minutes of each class will be consumed by a lesson taught by the agricultural instructor or some other agricultural agency. The last thirty minutes will be devoted to the club’s activities with the president presiding and the vo-ag instructor serving as advisor. It is urged that all young men who have the desire to keep pace with the ever changing methods of modernized farming should join this class. Vocational Agriculture and NFA work are so closely knitted together ’til it is utterly impossible to pull the threads of one without damaging the other. To speak of the O. R. Johnson Chapter of New Farmers of America, it gives us a sincere feeling of satisfaction to think of the many accomplishments achieved in the past six years. Organized in October, 1948 by O. R. Johnson, the chapter has been ranked among the best in Virginia every since. To mention a few of the accomplishments, we have nine honorary degree members; we have had four State NFA officers, eight State FFA Foundation Award winners, two National FFA Foundation Award winners, and seven Modern Farmers; we have won second and third places in the State Forestry Judging Contest for the past two years respectively and we have placed fifth and seventh in the State Livestock Judging contest for the past two years respectively. ' Disregarding the Northern Virginia Federation affiliation, listed above are some of the accomplishments that have helped to keep us on or near the top of the NFA Chapters in the State. . We are aware of the fact that the maintenance of a live and going chapter is the responsibility of the vocational agriculture instructor and. the boys enrolled in agriculture. However, we wish to express our sincere appreciation to all parents and patrons, school administrators, state supervisors, lo„ cal churches and ministers, local newspaper officials, and all other agricultural agencies and persons who have displayed such magnificent cooperation in helping us to promote a strong program. The required officers for the current year are: William Porter, President; Arthur, Jones, Vice President; Edward Wormly, Secretary; Jesse Brown, Treasurer; and William Carter, Reporter. * • • The Farm Machinery Repair Class to be held at Carver Regional High School, has been scheduled to start on January 4, 1955.

The slack season is the most opportune time Tor the farmer to catch up on his mechanical chores.

I1" r. ! ’’ *. . » ' - ' c > ,Af . EDUCATION—-From Page I with relation to ability and effort. To qualify for these* funds a tfue rate of only .45 is required. Tin’s is much behind the State average for the counties of .63. Alleghany county has a true rate, for example, of $1.59. As a matter of factNdurihg 1953 to 54 only 11 counties and 3 cities had rate of .45 or less. The highest rates among the counties were Alleghany 1.59, Fairfax 1.09, Prince George .99, Powhatan .97, and Appomattox, .94. Among the cities the highest rates were Williamsburg 1.10, Martinsville, 1.00, Falls Church, 89, Petersburg, .88, and South Norfolk .84. The low-' est rates among the cities were Waynesboro .46, Winchester .46, Charlottesville .42, Staunton .40, and Virginia Beach .26. If the .45 minimum rate for participation in certain State school funds should be appreciatively raised and the percentage of State funds distributed, with reference to effort increased (1) State money would go further and (2) the burden of taxation would be more equitably borne among the counties and cities of the State.
