Steady rain and a gradual darkening of the sky, with increasing winds, had announced her approach and arrival. \ V In the night she moved on leaving in her wake uprooted trees,’ bent TV antennas and pools of water under forgotten windows. A large number of apple trees were lost, but the greater damage to the fruit grower was in blowing the apples off the trees. C. E. Johnson, Jr., SperryviDe, lost at feast 40 to 50 trees in his orchards. H. T. Updike of Washington, lost 20 of his best trees from his orchard behind his home. All reported a costly loss in apples blown off. % Electricity was off only briefly in most of the county. Many phones were dead as limbs became entangled in the lines. Though less damaging than her sister, Hazel, the uninvited~Connie made a destructive visit to Rappahannock. It is a fervent that Diane-bypasses the county, for with the long preface of rain, die would perhaps be the! most damaging, guest ■ . ' 1 Annie f. Bruce < Mb.

RAPPAHANNOCK; NR PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING * yt,,r At WuUn|tra, Rkppohannock County Virginia M--------—> — — - DIAL WASHINGTON *8«1 BRUCE S. BOWIE I,. ..fuUitkt' Entered as second-class mail matter at the post otiace at Washington, Virginia SUBSCRIPTION: (in advance)-----$2.00 a year OVERLY EASY CREDIT > MAY HARM ECONOMY \ • The action by the British gqvemment early last week in raising from 15 to 33-1/3 per cent the required down payment on purchases of automobiles and household appliances, has brought comment from readers on the exceedingly easy terms now said u> be -available in this country. We are told that some dealers announce over the radio that they will sell cars with nothing down -and no payment until after Labor Day, and are throwing in a premium or two or some cash as a bonus. Obviously there is something here that doesn’t meet the ear. No grocer will give a ham to just anyone who comes in and says “charge it” No- clothier can afford to let any tom, Dick or Harry have a suit in return for a promise to bring in something every week until it is paid for. And certainly no car dealer can let every listener to his radio plug have an automobile now and make final payments on it in 1958. In fact, searching questions are asked, and those customers who can get cars on credit are the ones whose' credit standing is good. They are people who have ability to pay. and who previously have demonstrated that they meet their obligations. The Chicago Tribune takes account of this in its rules of business. It will not accept Installment advertisement which indicates that anyone who walks into an automobile salesroom can get a car without a down payment, when in fact the offer applies only to those of good credit standing. Nevertheless, a c o n s i derable amount of business is probably being done on terms which can cause later trouble. That is indicated by the instructions given to examiners of national banks by the comptroller of the currency— head of the national banking system. He told his men to scrutinize the loan paper in the banks to see if they have been giving “too liberal auto financing terms." He added that. "We don’t think we should let loose practices slip by and become general." The federal reserve board in its July bulletin comments on the growing volume of loans by banks to finance consumer instalment credit. _ Our people are enjoying an ever rising standard of living, but are doing so by getting deeper into debt. Some people pay cash for their automobiles when they buy them and others, pay off the debts after a period, but on January 1 there was an average debt of $260 on each passenger car in use, old and new. That made a total of 12 billioon dollars, and it has increased two billions since, or at the rate of four billion dollars a year. There is other consumer debt totaling 20 billion dollars and it, too, is increasing at the rate of another two billion dollars a year. In addition there is the 76 billion dollar debt on homes which has been increased from 18 billion in 1945. This is also instalment debt with payment based on the expectation, of steady employment and high wages. Congress has not authorized the administration to impose controls over consumer credit, and if the administration asked for this power, which it t.has not done, we should oppose it. But we are shocked by some of the loose practices which are being employed to get people loaded with more debt than they can bear if times change.—Chicago Tribune.

(Quoted below are excerpts from the annual report to the people from the Rappahannock Health Department. We publish it in response to a specal request made by the Supervisors at their, last Board meeting, and as a matter of general interest.) “A fundamental understanding of what we ire doing and past ac-. compliments is necessary for sound preparation of any projected advancement. Further new developments in science renders n«ressary a continued scrutiny of effort, of accomplishments, as well as planning for expansion to meet present and future needs. Rappahannock County Health Department has paid for itself, but has not sold itself in many quarters because so very few people know anythng about it. In fact, many people do not know a Health Department is in the county. With out encumbering you with a lot of figures and statistics, I want to •give you a few words about the job my helpers and I are trying to do here. The Health District is com-, posed of Prince William, Fau* quier. and Rappahannock Counties. The Health Director is responsble for the three counties with offees in each county. This report is limited in scope to Rappahannock County. ACUTE COMMUNICABLE DISEASE CONTROL Sporadic cases of epidemic diseases occured throughout the county during the year, but none appeared in epidemic proportions. This can be attributed to wide spread vaccinations, “booater . shots” and improved methods of disease control. When word got around that we were getting polio vaccine, people were very eager to get it. Doctors, nurses and many volunteer workers assisted us generously in this, program. The schools did a good job pf helping us too. *?■ \. 264‘ innoculations were given to first and second grade pupils dur. ing the month of April. The second innoculation was scheduled for May, but vaccine was not available for this round. I believe the vaccine will be available this fall and will fulfill its bright promise in the prevention and control of a disease that has left many children and young adults pitifully crippled for generations. A few cases of the contagious disease called Infectious Hepatitis; this disease is not controlled by antibiotics, occured in the county, but were controlled temporarily by gamma globulin. Immunization clinics were held during the year by the Health Department for protection against smallpox, diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough. The Health Department is trying to improve ^the importance of early immunization, of booster shots, and of fe-vaccination to beep up immunity. Prompt ■ use of immune globulin supplied by the Health Department to physician? held complications to a minimum in many cases of measles. TUBERCULOSIS CON1RUL Tuberculosis remains a public enemy in . Rappahannock County. There are 26 cases of active and arrested tuberculosis in; the county. It has been estimated that for every knownjcase of TB, there is one unknown case. These unknown cases do not know they are sick, but are going ahead rapidly spreading the disease to other people and beipg the! disease j to other people and becoming more and more sick themselves. This is a continuing sad state of affairs, inspite of the combined efforts of . the County Tuberculosis Association and The County Health Department. 417 people had a, repeat x-ray this year, many times more have never had an x-ray and do not know the value of getting one. A mobile 70 mm x-ray unit was brought into the county during the last year. An excellent publicity campaign was put on by the Tuberculosis Association. Several unsuspected cases of tuberculosis, as well as other diseases and abnormalities, were discovered. the pattern with a melody in its heart!

These,drugs are supplied by the Health Department to indigent patients. 1 POLIOMYELITIS AND CRIPPLED CHILDREN’S SERVICE , There are 4 cases of poliomyelitis varying from partial to complete paralysis and crippling deformities under our supervision in the county. No new cases have occured during the past 12 months however. Indigent cases are cared for at the expense of the Crippled Children’s Bureau of the State Department of Health. 13 of the counties .crippled children mfade 43 visits to a clinic. Many of them received orthopedic appliances and corrective shoes without cost. Prevention and care of congenital and acquired deformities is a part of our public health work.

Better Cows, Answei To Demand, For More Milk by 1955 Not more, but better, cows may be the answer to the greater mand for milk that will face the nation 10 years hence as tion continues to increase stys County Agent W. H. Lyne. Right now, he says the nation’s annual milk production is estimated at about 124 billion pounds, which leaves a relatively small, but troublesome, surplus. However, with the population increasing at the rate of two and one-half million and figuring a slight increase in milk consumption per capjta, the demand by 1956 will be soipewhere between 138 and 140 billion pounds of milk. During each of the last 10 years, milk production of all cows Jras increased about 85 pounds per cow. Til N Evt*T mns« gcription, he gi' training.

The 1,226,588 cows on test in dairy herd improvement associations in 1953 averaged 9,253 pounds of milk or about • 3,500 pounds above the national average for all dairy cows, the county agent says. Average production of cows in these associations has increased nearly 100 pounds per year for the past 10 years even though production is already on a high level.

Index ahd reprinted in the Congressional Record: "With the national well-being at stake, it is important that the public understand the danger of any action which could deprive us of assured supplies of natural gas. That danger exists, clearly and strongly, in federal control of na. tural gas production . , . No monopoly exists in natural gas production. It is one of the most highly competitive industries in the Nation today, and the price of its product should continue to be determined by the competition—not by rigid government control.” Letter To Congreu Rep. Clyde Doyle of California, in quoting an editorial which ended up with a plea for readers to write to Congress, added this remark in the Congressional Record: “Mr. Speaker, it would certainly do vast good it more and more of the newspaper editors in our great nation would stress the fact that this Congress is the Congress of the American people at the grassroots of American citizenship that we members of this great legislative body seek the thinking and considered opinion on all important problems which come before us.” "Flexible Failure" From the bpnng ralley {iru.) Sun as quoted in the Congressional Record: “When narrowed to only one part of the fanning industry that is dependent to a large extent on the rest of the industry for feed and other products, the 75% flexible program is a form of'discrimi nation that the dairy fanner has every right to question and protest as vigorously as possible, especially when the prograni has not succeeded in any of. its proposed goals. "If the objective of this program was the elimination of the medium and small dairy producer, the reduced return for their efforts the past few months has gone a long way toward reaching that objective." ■ ] ' On Buying Stuck From the More head (Ay.) Rowan County Newt, as quoted in The Congressional Record: “Although stocks are not paying dividends to make them better buys than they haven been on many other occasions, in other bull markets, today there is certainly more speculation and general talk about the market among the average citizen.” Abolishing Tariff Walls From the Pleasant Hill (Mo.) Times, quoting from a letter written to Sen. Stuart Symington by Reverend Albert Danter: “It is a crime that cries to heaven for vengeance tb allow surpluses to rot or to call for lowered production when millions of human beings are hungry and starving .... I would like to suggest one solution at least: the lowering or, perhaps, the abolishing of our tariff walls. The peoples of other countries cannot buy the thinp they need from qs unless we in turn buy their products ... While we turn our backs on our neighbors, Soviet Russia grows fat on world trade.” Free Trade Essential From the Seaside (Ore.) Signal, as quoted in the Congressional Record: “If the United States takes the lead in promoting expanded trade, we can develop the economies of the western nations to the point where communism will lose its appeal ... we cannot continue to maintain a free economy without free trade. Our productive ability has become so great that only a worldwide market, free of all restrictions and barriers, can support full employment . . . most American production will compete with any in the world and will sell in competition to that of any other nation, regardless of wage scales. Properly employed, die high-wage American workman is the cheapest labor in the world because with the tools American industry gives him, he produces, more for a wage dollar than any other workman in the world.” Civil Defense a From the Chapel Hill (N. U.) Weekly, as quoted in the Congressional Record: "Is civil defense important or is it not important? If it is not important, stop talking and fuming and fussing about it. If it is important, then I, as one citizen, make thfe plea to the President, trt the members of Congress and to the other leaders in Washington: Do not keep on trifling with civil defense. Give it the ■ serious attention it deserves. That means: make it a direct responsibility, a definite operation of the government. g ‘Civil defense should he made a part of the department of defense. There should be a civil defense uniformed force, with officers and enlisted men as they are in the Army and the Navy and the Marine Corps and the Air Force. There should be training schools for this new force! just as there are for our other forces.” YEARLING STEER SALES SCHEDULED A tentative schedule for the , 1955 series of yearling steer sales has been released by K.
