KXMKMkakKSkXMUUU I •' 1 " SOME OBSERVATIONS | PRO ? CoN What every man should know, according to my barber, is that a woman does much of her thinking aloud. As she dumps and wipes the ashtrays a wife will mutter, ‘‘'Why do you always have to use so many ashtrays?” When picking up it; is, “Do you always have to, drop your . papers on the floor?” I. My informant* says the lady is merely thinking, and a husband who pretends ter bear jhr a plain fool and'is Hotting himself in for a noisy argument. i The barber counseled! a steady customer who< has been married twenty years never to alnswer the rhetorical questions of ja muttering woman when she is doing simple chores. EJv^n when alone in the house such Women tails without knowing or caring what they are saying. j j [: boo o j I . , Double-talk is one thing I can not understand, especially when a a group of ex-Democrats, calling themselves Virginia Democrats for Eisenhower take a trip jtto Washington to visit the President then come back with a statement that the trip was strictly noni-politicaL I regretted, but was not surprised, to see one familiar face ih the picture of the group at the* White House.

This is the day set aside to pay special tribute to the men and women of the * Armed Fourth j| r 1955 Voting Ust Shows 1676 Have Paid Their Taxes According to a recently published list, 1676 individuals in Rappahannock County have “paid all of the taxes required of them by law 6 months prior to the election to be held in November” and are therefore “qualified” voters. Hampton and Wakefield Districts account for the largest number of votes numbering 414 and 378 respectively. Piedmont is a poor third with only 299 listed Jackson fourth with 259; Stonewall fifth with 204; and Haw- ; thorne, last, with 122 listed voters. This voting list, however, does not necessarily include all qualified voters. There will be additional lists including these voters not,on the published list at each precinct voting headquarters. If your name does not appear on the published list, however, it would be advisable to check into the situation before election day.

RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At Washington, Rappahannock County Virfinw DIAL WASHINGTON 2851 BRUdE S. BOWIE... ... Publuke, Snhnd as second-clast mail matter at the post office at Washington, Virginia SUBSCRIPTION: Cm advance) 92.00 a year Concerning Work On Chester Gap Road The residents of this community ’ were most pleasantly surprised last week when the state road crew jmder the supervision of Moffett Brady and Frank Kinsey finally started the face-lifting job on #610-660 which will result eventually in the hard surfacing of this mile long stretch of road that serves as our main street. Except for short periods of time immediately after an infrequent light dragging job, this road for the past 10 years has been in deplorable shape. While other roads in this area, with far less traffic and serving far fewer families, have received adequate maintenance and even surface treatment, our road has been shamefully neglected. It was about two and a half years ago that the taxpayers of Chester Gap petitioned the State and County Commissioners for proper maintenance and surface treatment and many of us had resigned ourselves to permanently dislocated backbones and broken shock absorbers from' failing to dodge the chuckholes and protruding rocks. So <it is with a rather reserved pleasure but still a real satisfaction to see the work finally get under way and now that it is under way we sincerely hope that a proper job of grading, widening wherever possible and straightening out of the very dangerous blind comer at the Mt. Zion Church, will be done in Siratiom for the eventual surg. —Bertha Williams (Compliments of M. A. Greeley.) Education Air Lift Invitations were sent by the Eastern Air Line Company to five hundred Fairfax teachers for a flight Saturday, May 7th. I was one of the five hundred who accepted and had a flight on one of the company's "Silver Falcons” which held forty passengers. Eastern sent us tickets and stickers for our, cars headed Education Air Lift. The road to Hanger No. 1 from which we loaded was marked at every turn Education Air Life. IT This made it possible for drivers to drive directly to fhe hanger, and there were boys to direct parking and give any necessary information. Everything was done to make the flight enjoyable. While I was waiting for our * flight (imagine my feelings if possible), one of the teachers just returning from hers remarked that flying was a little rough and the safety belts were used. My thoughts immediately flew to the story I heard about one certain lady and her safety belt on the way to Florida. I began to wonder of one would go around me and if I could get it fastened. The firstthing I did when I reached my seat was to hunt for that safety belt. I was relieved to find it plenty big and fastened it before we started. I was taking no chances there! We were not told to use them until returning to land. Flying was somewhat rough due to rather heavy wind yesterday and to the fact that we did not go above 2500 ft. for we were sightseeing. We traveled between ,230 and 240 miles per hour, but this seemed so very slow. I remarked that my "Chevy” goes faster than this. The flight was an exciting experience that I never expected to have. I am very grateful and thrilled for the opportunity of the Education Air Lift and that I did not let by arthritic bones and fear keep me from taking advantage of it.

A thousand dreams were born. ( I dreamed I’d be important— A man of great affairs! I’d dwell in a city mansion Talll With winding stain 1 Maybe I’d be a lawyer. And, perhaps, a banker, tool Might even be the MAYOR If all my dreams came true. Could even be the GOVERNOR1 (Someone has to be.) And where, Oh where, could they ever find A greater man than ME? . . . Just then, "old Charlie” stomped his foot And vanished all my dreams. The thriving cities disappeared Into the corn so gi;een. Once more I saw the heat-waves dance Across the dusty plain, And, as Father reached for the water-jug, A PLOW-BOY I became. Since then, I’ve managed great affain; I’ve roamed the great white way: Ive dwelt in city mansions, Where only rich men stay. One by one, from day to day I’ve lived my dreams, in tnith. Yet, somewhere in the past, I’ve lost The happiness of youth. If only I could sprawl again With Dad beside the com,'. And rest once more at the end of the row Where all my dreams were bom! 1 For after all, there is no place No matter where you go So like an earthly heaven as The shade at die end of the row.

Your wife may be the big user of hot water in your homo but whon it com#* to choosing a now water hooter to roplaco the one that's worn out or inadequate, you're going to make the selection. Here are some(facts you should know about ELECTRIC WATER HEATING. m SAVE MONEY ON INSTALLATION An electric water heater needs no flue or chimney. It con be install*! onywher* in your home. In most cases long pipes are eliminated and,’of course, pipe costs are cut down. Then top, in long pipes water occumulates and grows cold. When you want hot water, all the cold must be drawn off. This runs up both water and water heating bids. Short pipes eliminate this. ' ■ SAVE MONEY ON RATES Because your electric water heater uses current only during "off peak" hours—that is when power demand is low—you get the advantage of a special tow electric rate. Efficient insulation keeps heat in the tank, making for further savings. AUTOMATIC FUEL SUPPLY No "re-ordering" or running short of electricity.

The auction average for top cows came down from $14.25 to $14 last week, but the overall average was up a quarter to $11.75 contrary toi a decline in general cattle prices. It is also about time for cull dairy cow’s to start coming to market in increased numbers. Virginia fed steers were about 75 cents a hundred lower last week, averaging $19.75. They reacted to lower prices in Midwest markets where offerings were heavy. Virginia steers probably . will continue down 'gradually for the next week or two as Midwest feeders come to market in large numbers. 'H Virginia veal prices dropped 75 cents a hundred to art average of $21.50 last week, after general leveling off period. They will probably be down some this week. The general trend of veal prices should be down until the mid-summer low, with minor fluctuations from time to time.
