Sentiment was expressed approving this decision of commission and on the other hand, upbraiding the inequality of the decision, saying it catered to a particular class. Mr. Fros|t, at the end of the discussion, Stated that he would vote every tij^ie he could to keep the schools as they are, segregated." both the inc supervisors asicea j wiu Frost what had been done | with their request that a commissioner of revenue be made responsible to someone. Mr. Frost answered that this issue did not go out of ''the.committed! * J .j: ’The Supervisory debited whether to have a “local!’ or “foreign” man to reassess thd real estate. This issue was under* discussion at this meeting in Order that ‘ the reassessment could be started in January. W. C. Campbell suggested that a county man be given the job as it is done every 4 years,- Mr. Latham abided ‘that this would also save some of the allotted money. He believed that there was a capable man in the county. The money, [too, would be thus kept in the county. Mr. Buckner suggested that jperhaps this hiring- a county man would leave room for argument as persons would feel the county man favored certain persons.) Mr. Wood said he believed a specialist from outside would) be best qualified. He made a motion that the board follow the same procedure as was followed fpur •years ago and if possible empiloy the same man. This motion was seconded by Eddie Estes and passed 5 to 1. j P. D. Coldiron, Resident Engineer, presented final budget for the secondary roads, stating tfiat it was just like the tentative budget, except a remaining lump sUm had been divided between the districts. Mrs. Wood told ll^r. Coldiron that neither Stonewall nor Piedmont had been, in previous years, allotted a fair shajre of the work on the roads. \|r.

In the world fight of the free against the slave, America is attempting to tell what freedom is, and it is a difficult task. , How can you describe vision to' a person blind from birth? How describe a symphony to one who has never heard? How describe God to an atheist? Words are ; feeble when applied to a thing as glorious and as basic to Americans as our freedoms.'We sense them, we realize them, we know they are ours. It is impossible for us to imagine life without them because they have been ours since birth — our priceless heritage since the 18th century when Americans declared themselves to be free men 'whose freedom stemmed from the Lord God «oooooooogooopetoopaoooooqopaoaooaaoootxx»»3iaaK»x*»a IF IT CAN BE DONE WITH HEAT IT CAN BE DONE BETTER WITH Check With Us on Your Bottled Gas Needs for Cooking, Water Heating, and Space Heating—24-Hour Service SHENGAS CORPORATION 7 South Royal Avenue Phone 456 FRONT ROYAL, VIRGINIA Almighty who created them *nd whose freedom could not be abridged by mere man, though he called himself emperor, potentate or king. (This belief that man was created free by the Almighty God is the basic foundation of nU Americans’ freedoms and from this belief stems all the other beliefs which by right ate ours. Since God created man and endowed him with freedom, it follows without question that man1 has the'right to worship his Creator as he pleases, a basic right of all Americans. Here in Spalding county, for example, there are dozens of denominations and religious sects, all seeking to persuade people to worship God as they are convinced He should be worshipped. j j But note that they seek to persuade, not to force, because no denomination regardless of its seal can force anyone to follow its beliefs. Nor can any individual or group prevent any person from worshipping as he pleases, be it in the church, the synagogue, the cathedral or in the stillness of his heart in his own home or in a field. Pursuing the basic principle of freedom further, it is apparent that since God created man and endowed him with freedom, and man and not God created government, a government exists solely fo serve the people under its /urlsfctkm. |j It was created by them and for them and they were not cheated by or for it. Thus it is their servant and not their master. Furthermore* since God created all men and men created governments, no *lr man has the right to act himself their master. Hence the theory of dictator nations is incorrect at the very beginning and dictatorships are built upon a theory as flimsy as a bubble of soap. The fact tnat government is a servant of the people makes it obvious that the people by right should choose those who govern them and that the twin rights of free elections and secret ballots are theirs. And since a people cannot choose wisely unless they are informed, the rights of f free press and speech, the right to assemble, the right to petition for a redress of grievances are theirs. Again since the government is a servant and not a master, the people are entitled to the services of the government as a protector against infringements of our individual rights, protection against nations and i n d i v i d u sis which would take them from us. mis, of course, entails responsibility as well as privilege because the pro- < tection can come only from collective action and requires such things as military service. In Communistic nations, thg people serve the state instead of the state serving the people. So there is no right to own private property which is basic with us. There is no right to move about freely at home and abroad as we do. There are none of the legal protection which are ours such as the right to prompt trial by jury, habeas corpus, freedom from arbitrary government regulation and control and the right to contract about our affairs. There are none of the personal rights and privileges such as privacy of homes and person, choosing our own callings, il CREW TJL round point button-down collar 1kdt U^pMtaMjb toudu off [jMldOW.

These things are so fundamentally ours that we think of them little more than we think of the j air we breathe. But to Americans, > life is just as inconceivable without freedom ns it is without air. \ What, then, is freedom? It is a fundamental part of people who realize that God created them and that they in turn created government as their servant, not as their master. It is as much a part of ua and just as intangible as the souls Which set us apart from the mechanical men and women with lusterless eyes and no hope in thein hearts and whose sole purpose in a mechanical sort of life is to serve the state which is their master and which owns them body and soul.

Home economics specialists at VPI say it is no longer possible to judge by appearance, feel, or even experience how somej garments will react in the laundry. Your only reliable basis for intelligent buying is the assurance of tht manufacturer in the I form of a hang-tag or label. Here are clarifications on some of the label and hang tag specifications found on modem garments. Completely washable \ 1 his garment can be washed in a! commercial laundry, or in a ! home washing machine, in hot water over 160 degrees, with soap or detergent and bleaching agent. “Fully washable ... do not bleach.” This garment cap be washed in a commercial laundry, or in a home washing machine, in hot water not to exceed 160 degrees, with soap or detergent. Do not use bleaching agents. ‘•'Washing in warm water) . . ., do not bleach.” This garment can be washed in a commercial laundry, or in a home washing machine, in water not over 120 degrees, with soap or detergent. Do not use bleaching agents. j The home economists explain that “shape retention” means two things . i . permanent pleats and wrinkle resistance. Permanent pleats may be washed but must be dripped dry. Wrinkle resistance is important in wearing apparel and in glass curtains. Fold your glass curtain neatly and wash folded. If you fold your garments,! they will not be sujbject to sharp wrinkling and twisting during washing, will retain their smoothness, and will not need ironing.

Miss Ruby Jenkins forwarded the idea of a white elephant sale, since one has not been held lor some time. ■Mrs. Bruce Bowie suggested that the auxiliary; since they are an auxiliary to the fire company, make coffee for the firemen, when they are out on a call—at the fire whim it is a long call, arid in the fire hall, when it is a less serious fire. Mrs. Bowie was appointed chairman of the committee in charge of this. Mrs. Charles G. Reid and Mrs. Frank Moffett offered to help.

He added that several improvements on the Stonewall-Piedmont roads were included in the 1956 programs. The tentative budget Was accepted. VV. C. Campbell continued his motion, discussed in a previous meeting, that $1500 be allotted for the equalization of personal property taxes. W. F. Moffett, Commonwealth Attorney, had looked up the legality of such a motion, and found it to be illegal. The equalization of personal property is wholly in the hands of the Commissioner of Revenue. Mr. Campbell withdrew the motion, saying that he regretted the situation that nothing could be done in this manner. Several supervisors supported this belief, citing cases of inequality in the personal property assessment. A letter was read from the Amissville Volunteer Fire Departement offering the use of their firehouse for county activities. -The offer was accepted. Wade H. Massie, III, brought a sheep claim before the board. It was upheld and ordered paid. Use Wheat Acreage For Hay, Pasture, To Avoid Having Marketing Excess Farmers who have 1956 wheat acreage in excess of the farm allot ment or 15 acres, whichever is the larger, may utilize the excess acreage as green manure, pasture, hay, or silage to avoid having a farm marketing excess of wheat. Farmers with 15 acres pr less may also utilize acreage in excesss of their allotment to qualify for price support. In Rappahannock county the date by which excess wheat shall be utilized in June 1, 1955 according to Mr. Barksdale, county ASC chairman. He stated that acreage in. excess Of the allotment and 15 acres not utilized for one of the foregoing purposes by this date will be subject to a penalty equal to 45 per cent of the wheat parity price on May 1, 1956. The penalty’ rate on the 1955 crop was $1.13 per bushel. The ASC chairman cautioned all wheat farmers in the county who have excess wheat, whether intentionally seeded or otherwise, IT to make a memorandum of the June 1 date of utilization. There are no provisions under the 1956 wheat marketing quota program for granting an extention of that date. Farmers who plant wheat and other grain for mixture are also reminded that such mixtures must be less than 50 per cent by weight of wheat when seeded, as we}l as when harvested, to qualify as a wheat mixture under the definition of the marketing quota program. The responsibility of a wheat mixture turning out to be less than 50 per cent of wheat by weight whenu harvested is entirely upon the wheat farmer. Any acreages which do not qualify under the definition of a wheat mixtures and which acreages are in excess of the farm allotment and 15 acres will be subject to marketing quota penalties on the production therefrom. 1 NOW OPEN 208 East Main Street FRONT ROYAL A NAME TO REMEMBER for “GIFTS OF BEAUTY” For Happy or Solemn Occasions WORLD-WIDE WIRE SERVICE Peggye’s Flower Sh< Phone: Day 245 Nite Phone: 247 PEGGYE MYERS, Proprietor w REVERE WARE...

No we can’t, however, I do think work done in controlling Bang’s in Rappahannock during November will show a decided boost to our percentages wherj the December bulletin is out. •Norfolk county heads the .state in heifer vaccinations with 80.2%. Warwick, Fairfax and Isle of Wight lead in percent of cows tested with 95.6%., 83.7% and 83.6% respectively. Rappahannock’s next countywide Bangs' control and eradicationprogram will be.held in March Since calving time isn’t too good a tirrje to be bleeding cows this will be primarily for heifer vaccinatiohs. Owners contemplating testing their herds probably should do so now rather than waiting until in March. If’. M. U. MEETING HELt) AT SLATE MILLS The Slate Mills Baptist W. M.
