Mayor Davis Interviewed For n “Discus* George' Washington’s false teeth” was the startling beginning of the querries Mayor Dorothy Davis had to answier last Thursday in her interview before the board of experts i»t the TV quiz show; The Big Surprise. After Mrs. Davis correctly told the interviewers that “thej most satisfactory pair he ever had were made of hippopotamus tusks with human teeth pivoted in with| gold, fashioned by Dr. QreenwoojL An impression had been made j with bees wax.” (Incidentally, j Mrs. Davis told this reporter that many years ago, poor people would sell their teeth to wealthy people or to dentists for piaffes of the wealthy.) Though not permitted to tell Mrs. Davis definitely that fhe would appear on the prog* am, they did tell her that there Was* strong possibility that she would. Mrs. Davis motored to Washington, D. C. to take a plane to New York, but when her flight was cancelled, she went by tram, arriving in town too late for her preengaged interview. Explaining the upset of her plans to the board, .^they»asked shafc-ah®- come thetr tar 575 Madison Avenue, the Louis Cowan Agency, for the interview. The five men and one woman on the board asked her extensive Questions about her family and ;her home town of Washington. , As , the board was undecided, about whether to let George Wright go on for another' try for the $100, 000 question- she was asked' to stand by in New York in case they would like her to go on the program that Saturday night It was with trepidation that the mayor waited for their decision, arid With great relief that he was given the chance. (I thought her reliefwas probably because she would be given a little more time to study, but no, it’s the typical feipale answer of "I was really glad,'because I only took one dress, planning to be there just one day, ) Among the other questions asked Mrs. Davis were: Did (my slaves fight in the Revolutionary War; Did George Washington have any intriques in his military family; and Was George Washington a great general and a great ; man. • , r 1 .• Though Mrs. Davis, catagory choice was: George Washington, the board said she would have to have as her category: Gcorfce Washington and his era. There! is great difficulty in finding qu4tions when the category is limittjd. They realised this when they cor piled questions for the psycholo teacher whose category is Nap oleon. Mavor Davis will be not if on a Thursday or Friday befoj the time she will or may appear < the program. (The Big Surpr comes on channel 4 at 7:30 p. \ Saturday night. _i • CUB PACK ORGANIZING Parents with boys between tht ages of 8 and 10, living in or near Washington, who are interested in Cub Scouting, please contact Mrs. Lois Snead next week for art application as soon as posssible. j Snead plans to organize a Cul Den for these boys, .so make your application as son as possible.

RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia , r~ DIAL: WASHINGTON 2851 "V BRUCE S. BOWIE.... ...... ..Publish*, Entered aa second-class mail at the poet office at Washington, Va. SUBSCRIPTION (inadvance) ___i___(2.00 a year YOUR CONGRESSMAN REPORTS By Rep. Burr P. ^HarrisorQ' , The Congress now is (tonsidering, in its "appropriation qommit- tees, the first balanced budget submitted since fiscal year 1951. It is important to /Tomember that the budget of me Federil ^Government has not been balanced definitely by .the President or by the Congress. TJjcJPresident can , propose expenditures and taxes. Congress can vote appropriations and taxes. How the balance sheet will look at the end of a fiscal year will depend, however, on how good the guesses of the govern* ment experts are as to how much money will come into the Treasury. How much comes in will depend, in turn, on how the economy of the Nation fares, how good business is for everyone. The headlines heralding Mr. Eisenhower’s .estimates that the Federal Government Would come out about $200,000,000 ahead in the fiscal year ending June 30, and have a surplus of about twice \ that amount next fiscal year, made cheerful reading. To serious students of federal finance, such as: Virginia’s Senator Harry F. Byrd, however, all is not •' rosy. Although the President pro, dieted a balanced budget, Senator Byrd pointed out that the balance was dependent, “on the premise, apparantly, that the present boom will continue, and this no one can oredict.” ' . He called attention to the fact 'that the balancing was not' to be «xomplished by sharp deductions in spending by the Federal Government. On the contrary, the President was proposing to spend in the next fiscal year about $1,300,000,000 more than the Federal Government expects to pay out in the present fiscal year. How could this be done and still balance the budget? In Mr. Eisenhower’s opinion, it would be possible because national prosperity would bring into the Treasury next fiscal year, under a continuation of the existing high tax rates, enough extra money to take care of all the additional expenditures he wants to make, and still produce a surplus of about $400,000,000. As Senator Byrd never has been abused of examining Federal financial on a partisan basis, his concern over the solidity of the economic predictions which the experts have furnished the President' as a basis for the budget estimates has taken some of the sheen from the bright prospect of the first balanced federal budget in five years. To assert that the Federal budget is based on guesswork is not to critize the procedure. It has to be that way, because the Federal Government does not know precisely how high wages are going to "be in the year ahead; how much profit business will make how much the farpjer will receive for his, labors. These factors, and many more, will control how much the Tresaury will receive in taxes. As an illustration that budgetmaking is 1not an exact science. President Eisenhower said last August that the Government probably would wind up about $1,700,000,000 in the red this Jun$ 30. Now he thinks it will be ahead by about $200,000,000 on current outlays. s The fact that Mr. Eisenhower has increased the proposed Federal spending, when the hope was for reductions, has brought disturbed comments from quarters friendly to his Administration. When t h q budget estimates were made public, the Wall Street Joupnel reported, in part: “Next fiscal year, the present Administration is embarking on still greater spending programs for civilian items— housing, schools, hospitals, highways, public works, farm subsidies and other schemes that are supposed to appeal to the voting public. • For these and other domestic spending plans, Mr. Eisenhower proposes to spend more than Mr, Truman ever spent, except for two fiscal years just before the Korean War broke out in 1950. Mr. Eisenhower’s proposals are beginning to rival Mr. Truman’s peak civilian bugets for each of these * two years.” Tried Justice Cases The Commonwealth versus James Edwin Green; of Amissville, charged with having on his car an improper muffler; fined $5 and costs. Trooper W. A Buntin was the arresting officer. a The Commonwealth versus Hoover Foster, of Washington, charged with assault on wife,\c%se dismissed. Sheriff J. W. Critzer was the arresting officer. The Commonwealth versUs James W. Atkins, of Spcrryville,' charged with assault on father, F. L. Atkins; dismissed on motion of complaining witness at cost to cooplaining witness, F. L.

A total of one fire occurred in the county, and the average fire burnt 1.00 tccres. These figures compare with a total of 223 fires, with an average size of 8.35, acres for the sixteen county district. Brush or debris burners and smokers were the principal causes of forest fire, but hunters were also we irresponsible for a large number, particularly in November and December. The dry weather during the fall and winter, along with the carelessness of a few hunters, causeck a sharp increase in the number ofVfires during this period,. Growing concern has been expressed^ in mis unexpected increase'in hunter-caused fires. FLINT HILL BAPTIST CHURCH Sometime before 1770, while the community was still ap&rsely settled, Allen Wiley, whom Semple the historian, ca Is ‘‘a man of respectable standing”, in the absence of a spiritual leader gathered his friends at his home and urged upon them the. claims of the Gospel. We are told that Mr, feWjiley went all the way to Pittsylvania. County in search of a preacher to preach the Gospel in his community. There hp met Elder Samuel Harris whom he persuaded to return wjth him to what is now .Rappahannock, but then a part of Culpeper County. On their return Mr. Harris held services inf the Wiley home. Bitter opposition, however, drove him from there to Orange County. And thus Baptist preaching was first introduced into our county. It may be of interest to state that Mr. Wiley lived near the present village of Flint Hill. Probably on the farm now owned by the Devers family. J Later on another Baptist prelcher, Lewis Conner moved nearby and preached where he was permitted to hold services. i'fhe first congregation was composed of 6 mep and women as charted members of the church. Anson Dear, James Moore, Alfred Dearing, John S. Browning, James Young, Sr., Braxton Eastham, Margaret Ball, Sarah FJ Young, Ann M. Browning, Louisa Jordan, Martha A. Jett, Jane Wood, Maria Moore, Ann .Dearing, Mary A. Brown, Ann E. Dearing, Mary E. Wood, Phoebe Eastham, Mary Morrison, Martha E. Moore, Jane N. Moore, Ann Amiss, Alice Reid, Lucy E. Eastham, William G. Wood, Elvina Moore, Sarah M. Moore. j Although Thadeus Herndon was instrumental in the bijilding of the church, he wa# not called to administer to thfe flbck which he had gathered. In October 1854 Barnett Grimpley became the pastor of the church. During the first year jof Mr. Grimsley’s pastorate the church was admitted injto the Shiloh Association and sent the following delegate^ —fAlfred Dearing, Braxton Eastham, James Moore and Dr John! S. Browning. , t i I Jn the year 1872 the church called Thomas F. Grimsl^y, son of the much beloved pastor. He served for seven years and was. followed by S. J. Fristoe, Hugh Goodwin, Ajtwell Tucker and F. P. Berkley, l'he church membership wfas increased to a total of sixty-five at the turn of the century.: . j • ; j I Within the next few years, the debt incurred while building the house was eliminated and the church was more •thoroughly organized by the election of a faithful corps ojf deacons namely: Anson Dearing, Alfred Dearing, and Jjames Moore. Each of these continued to serve as long as h|e lived. Dr. John S. Browning was elected clerk and served faithfully for many years. Dr. Browning was the youngest of this group. , jin Aprl, 1904 it was decided advisable to organize a Sunday School and all were asked to me£t at 10:00 a.m. on May 1, 1904. jH September 26, 1906 saw another of the Flint Hill church called into the services of God, when W. G. Dearrwas ordained to the Gospel Ministry. In 1909 Rev. Charles Clement came as pastor and continued in that capacity until 1911. . The^ear 1912 saw W. J. Reynolds serving as pastor. In 1914 Rev. Charles Clement returned to serve for another period of time, sfeven years, or until 1921. In 1919 4he church voted to discontinue services on Saturday. I In Nove^fibeir 1826 a call was extended to Rev. P. H. Chelf. Mr. Chelf gave himself faithfully and devotedly to the cause for 19 years, when failing health forced him to resign in September 1945. « Rev. L. R. Broughman accepted the call to this church in September, 1945, and served until December, 1948. ; Rev. M. E. Sliger accepted the call to this church In 1949 and served until 1952. j Rev. G. M. Profitt accepted the call to this church in October, 1952 and served until June, 1965. Rev. Johri Divers, the present pastor, accepted a call to tjiis church in October, 1955. The present deacons of the church are: B. J. Wood, Earl Edmonds, David Corbin, O. W. Gilbert, Jr., Richard Latham. * The present church membership is 130.

How that electric light and power companies are building plants to produce electricity from the atom, y^u may well atk—what's atomic electricity like? ■ The answeri exactly like the electricity you're ' using now. The only difference is in the electric power plants themselves, where there's an atomic furnace instead of a furnace that burns coal, oil or gas. * But that difference can be important to your « future. For you—and all America—will need much, more electricity iq the years to come, and atomic energy promises a vast new source of heat to make it. Today many electric companies across the country are working on the development of atomic-electric power plants. They're among the companies—like this one—that have brought abundant electricity to , a whole nation in the span of a single lifetime. They have the experience to find the best and quickest way to bring atomic-electnc power to alt. Northern Virginia Power Company

BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENT • Mr. and Mrs. Murphy Reid, formerly of Rappahannock County, are receiving congratulations on the birth of a son, Murphy Julian Reid, II, born January 17th at Front Royal Memorial Hospital. Mrs. Reid and infant son have returned to their home in Owings Mills, Maryland, where Mr. Reid works for the William F. Easton Co. The Reids also have a daughter, Beverly Bene. Part of a 20-ewe flock of 4-H Project sheep, o»m.u uj Lynn Atkins and Nelson Atkins, Jr. : • By W. H. Ljm My -friend George Allison, County Agent for Page, had such an impressive and timely article in the January issue of the Southern Planter I hope he won’t mind if I attempt being a copy-cat. Common chatter indicates the human form of “tax payers” and the sheep form of “tax payers” are much alike whether they be on the west or east side of the Blue Ridge Most every farm tax payer is alike in (1) thinking taxes are too high and (2) that he is paying more than his share. In copying George and applying the situation on this side of the Blue Ridge as he did in Page county here is what we find. The average net income earned in 1955 by our 4-H boys (7) with sheep projects was $11.14 per ewe. (66 ewes in all.) With Jock Brown’s assistance we learned the 1955 real estate tax in this county averaged a fractioh over 60 cents per acre of farm land. Since the 1954 Census shows the average sixe farm of the county to be 185 acres the average farm tax figures $111.37. Thus if you are an average sor^ of a farmer, you should be able to be as good a shepherd as the average Rappahannock 4-H’er. If so fen ewes could pay your farm real estate tax. Incidently 1. In‘arriving at the $11.14 net inISie' per 4-H ewe 6%of the capital investment was deducted as well as pasturage and feed costs ^t market value etc. from the gross income from lambs and wool. 4.1_ 1 lie ewe jwpuiauuu «• county stands at 2549 head and total tax at $82,482.00 3. The Rappahannock ewe population has dropped an alarming 34% in the past ten years. 4. Seven thousand four hundred and four ewes would pay ALL the Rappahannock farm and real estate tax. 5. We can feed this many ewes (and many more) seven months out of the year on pasture wasted by our cattle and cows without reducing , potential income from this kind of livestock. 6. Is a stray, tagless, dog going to stand between you and your schools, roads, church, the standard of living of your very own, or your source of tax money? RAPP-CHATS By: W.
