Frank Moffett has preserved for Rappahannock many legends of a day now past. Requests have beat received to reprint one of her writings, The Buzzard Roost. First composed by Mrs.; Moffett for publication in the; Blue Ridge Guide, the tale would have been lost, had not Mrs. D. B. Burton saved, in her scrapbok, a clipping of it from the Guide. Rappahannock's Monts Carlo, better and perhaps more appropriately known aa the “Buzzard Roost”, like so many ancient landmaria, has fallen in the. golden path of progress.

RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia ' DIAL: WASHINGTON 2851 * BRUCE S. BOWIE...... Publish*, MORE MOTOR TRAFFIC DEATHS IN. VIRGINIA, /WHO IS TO BLAME? Some months ago it was reported that several of our legislators were questioned as to what they were going to do about our increasing motor traffic death rates. They said they were not going to < do anything about it. They have kept their promise and the death rate in Virginia has gone up and up and up. During 1955 we lost 100 lives morethan we lost in 1954. The rate in 1954 was bad enough. These lives were a tremendous loss. The cost in human misery is of course' incalculable. We arc told that the increased number of motor traffic deaths in Virginia is due to the increased traffic, yet 13 of the states have reduced their traffic death rates and 32 have a lower death rate than Virginia. The Virginia traffic death rate is greater than the national average. With the exception. of West Virginia and, Kentucky, Virginia has the highest death rate of any of .the states • north of North Carolina and east df the Mississippi. * ' Sp far as we have statistics, Vir„ ginfa, California and Michigan are the only states that have increased the number of .motor traffic deaths more than 100. When we study .what is being accomplished, in many of the other states in reducing motor traffic ac-, cidents we can reach only one conclusion and that is these 100 deaths and many more are useless and permitted by a government that is incompetent. What possible excuse can a Legislature charged with the welfare of the people and elected by them give for not using every possible effort to save these lives lost uselessly. s If each individual member of the Legislature, using his own time and money, should go to the neighboring northern states to study their methods which have saved so many lives, it would not be too much. We citizens have oecome •calloused and setra to think that these deaths are part of things that are to be. We are unwilling to use much effort to correct the conditions. We listen to speeches at -*■ our clubs, we look at many pictures of motor traffic accidents ind go home salving our conscience with the feeling that we have helped ,in the motor accident prevention and we have dope no,thing. V . If we paraphrase, a state that _ knows of these useless killings and does not do the obvious thing to prevent them, is impotent, stupid, blind and invites disaster. We think only of personal liberty and - forget the rights and liberties of those of vahom the state is the sole protector. George B. Lawson, M.D., . Chairman of the Traffic Safety Committee of the . • ■ Roanoke Rotary Club. SEE aad HEAR YOUR CONGRESSMAN BURR P. HARRJSON I . Speaking From Washington Every Monday evening at 6:50 ' p.p». over WSVA-.TV channel 3 YOUR CONGRESSMAN REPORTS By Rep. Burr P. Harrison For more than a year, I hare been receiving complaints from veterans in tl^fe 7th Congressional District about* their »experience in attempting to* get direct housing loans from the- Veterans Administration. I was glad to hear, therefore, that Chairman Otin E. Teague (D.,Tex.) of the House Committee on Veterans Affairs will inquire into this problem' Friday, January 20, at a hearing before hit committee. Air. league, a conscientious and effective champion of the legitimate interests of all veterans, haS invited tee to present information reaching me from Virginia veterans, and I intend to do so. In letters and personal conversations, 7th District veterans have told me of their cruel disappointments. They had read that a veteran who could not obtain a G.I. guaranteed housing loan from privvate sources could apply to the Veterans Administration for a- direct loan. They had understood, too, that the 83 rd Congress had set up something called the Voluntary Home Mortgage.Credit Program, which was intended to induce private lenders to make home loans, in small communities and rural areas. In case after case, though, this is what the veteran reported: 1. He tried without success to obtain a G.I. guaranteed loan from local banks. (This is the loan in which the Federal Government, through the Veterans Administration, merely guarantees that the private lender, up to certain limits, will not lose his money if the veteran defaults.) 2. We went to the Veterans Administration and applied for a direct loan (in which the Veterans Administration provides the mon ey). The Veterans Administration told hint he would be considered for a direct loan—but only if the new Voluntary Home Mortgage Credit Program failed to find a . private lender willing to make a regular G.I. guaranteed loan. 3. Awhile later, the veteran heard from a private lender. He was offered a G.I.» guaranteed loan—provided an “origination” fee of one per cent and a “discount" fee of two per cent or more were paid. (In many cases, across the nation, these discount demands rose to outrageous figures. The Veterans Administration finally decided a dtecount of more than two per cent, on top of the one per cent origination fee, was unreasonable.) 4. The veteran became suspicious, understandably, about these demands for discounts. They’Were news to him. Oh making inquiries he found, to his complete exasperation, that the law would not .permit him to pay the discounts, even if he agreed to them. They would have to be "absorbed” by the Seller of the house. In-a great many cases, small builders in the towns and rural - areas had never heard of the discounts, either.* They had decided on a „ selling price for the houses, and they refused to cut the price by the amount of the discount demanded. (In and around large cities, many veterans have not been faced directly with the discount problem. The big builders, knowing the ST. PAUL’S EPISCOPAL CHURCH (BR051FIELD PARISH) (We are reprinting by request a history of the churches in Rappahan-' nock County. St. Paul’s Episcopal will be the first in this series) On a tract of unclaimed land in the village of Woodville, Captain William Walden had a load of lumber unloded, thereby staking a claim on which to build a church, a simple woodeh building was erected and this became St. Paul’s Protestant Episcopal Church. The first rector of St. Paul’s Church, Rev. William Thomas Leavell, accepted a call to this parish in 1853. His son, William Thomas, was christened in St. Paul’s in 1855, With Mrs. Skinner apd Mrs. Leavell as sponsors. After John Rrown’s raid at Harpers Ferry, Mr. Leavell returned to his home in Jefferson County, W. Virginia. Following the war between the states the Parish was in the care of such distinguished ministers as Rev. Rutherford Brown; Rev. J. Gibbon Minnegerode; and Rev. John Ambler. Well remembered are Rev. Willoughby Newton Claybrook and Rev. Norwood Tillinghast. On May 2, 1929, while Rev. Laurance Brent was rector, the church was demolished by a terrific tornado. Thomas Vigis, of Parish Munden, Hertfordshire, England, was a prominent member of the vestry. Captain Walden, an active vestryman in the early life of the church. In later years James W. Fletcher, William Mason, William Fletcher, William Yancey, and William, Stephenson were vestrymen. A marker now stands oil the spot where once stood the communion table. A peaceful church-yard is all that remains of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church. , _ system, have “absorbed” the discount before quoting a selling price, and the veteran has paid the half-hidden charge at settlement.) 5. The veteran went back to the Veterans Administration with the tale. He asked that he now be considered for a direct loan. Ob• viously, he had been unable to cldse a loan with the private lender. The Veterans Administration, under its interpretation of the law," told the veteran that he had lost his chance—private financing was “available” to him, and he had not taken advantage of it. ,f The veteran was left out in the cold—despite the promises of his. Government that the new VHM CP was set up to help him get a loan on reasonable terms, and despite the fact Congress had appropriated money for direct housing loans if the private loan could not be located for him. Meanwhile, the direct loan money, provided by the taxpayers, piled up in the Veterans Administration offices, without benefit to veterans. The veteran either had to break the law by creating a fiction that • the seller had agreed to pay the discount when he (the veteran) actually was paying it—or, abandon his plans to buy the house. This realization was particularly bitter when the veteran recalled that the first cases processed) under the much-heralded VH' MCP were Shenandoah Vallejr cases and were publicized as examples of how much help this new scheme would. be to veterans in small communities and rural areas. Because of the many complaints reaching me, I brought the situation to the attention of Chairman Teague and Chairman Brent Spence (D.,Ky.) of the House Committee on Banking and Currency, which has responsibility for housing legislation. Both assured me that the matter would be investigated by the committee staffs. Now, I am glad to report, the veteran will have his day in court at the hearing before Mr. Teajguc’s committee. It is to be hoped the result will be a change in policy which will enable veterans in . the 7th District and elsewhere to obtain what they thought their Government had promised them— the charice to buy their own homes on reasonable terms.• tty 4«t • ,4 ' Burgess Earl Leake Bur"*'* Ear!
