PPAJ1ANN0CK NEWS A* PUBLISHED THURSDAY MINING , . At Washington, Rappahannock tywnty, Virginia , TELEPHONE) WASHINGTON 2851 BASIL C. BURKE, JR, Owner ROBERT E. MANY, Editor Ind Publisher Mrs. SARAH LATHAM, Business Manager Entered as dees Mail at the Poet Office at Washington, Va SUBSCRIPTION (in advance) —_12.50 PER YEAS /v YOUR i CONGRESSMAN reports By Rep. Burr P. Harmon, TPhe President’s budget for the Federal Goverment, and his expianatory message, fill a book of more than 1,000 pages. Thejc arie scores of neat‘tables of figures. At citizen not familiar with the pe cultar art or governmental uburciing may glance at the figures headed “Budget Totals” and conclude that the Federal Government will take in $74.4 billion in the fiscal year beginning July 'll and spend $73.9 billion—leaving a tidy surplus of $500 million. Unfortunately, the situation > not as' pat as that. For examph, the President said:. "There are strong grounds t > support my confidence that the e: - pansion of our economy will soc \ be'resumed, bringing higher levels of receipts with present tax Yates . . While there! are many uncertainties in forecasting results 18 months in advance, our best estimate at this time, of budget receipts for 1959 is $74.4 billion/’ Here, the President points up , the fact that the whole concept of the balanced budget submitted ^to Congress, isf fashioned of educated ■„ guesses—-guesses as. to how much the Treaspry will collect in 'taxes atid how touch it will dishurse ,in government; checks. / .If the Pijesrdant i<rorrect about a new upswing in business gener• ally, the Treasury may take in $2 billion more next year than this year* just as the budget predicts, [if collections turn out to be about ’ the same as for this year, though, the budget, through tms circumstance alone, will be $1.5 billion out'of balance. On the outgo side of the budget we would be in error if we assumed that the estimated expenditures of $73.9 billion meant that was all the Federal Government expected to spend in the next fiscal year. Outside the. budget are- the tvarious federal trust funds, including the fund of finance the new in- . terstate nignway program a«u me fund from which social security ibenefits come. It is estimated these, funds will take, in $16.6 billion, in the next fiscal year and pay out 16.4 billion. Add the $16.4 billion to thP $73.9 billion of expendiures in the budget, and we reach an expenditure figure of $90.3 billion for the year. Further adding to the frustrations assailing serious students of the federal budget are such items, as “conlrat* authorizations” and "‘unexpended balances.” Xhesej ■make it diffioilt—virtually impossible—to pin down how much of our tax money ^ will be spen^. or committed to be spent, durifig a fiscal year, the expenditure figuresin the budget notwithstanding^ The contract authorizations. Once ' used, commit the* U/>'ted .State* Government to pay for whatever has been ordered under these authorizations. Congress cannot withhold the money when delivery is made, and this may be several years later. Congress will have nothing «p sav this yean therefore, about a , considerable amount of money the President expects to spend next year, because thej contracts cover ing this money were signed this - year, or in past years. ' - Unexpended balances consist of • amounts, already appropriated by Congress and availably to the Executive Branch until spent. It has been estimated there will be at least .$40.1 billion of these unused appropriations on hand at the end • further vote of-Congress will be of this fiscal year, June 30. No further vote of Congress will be needed to permit the President to spend this money next year. It can be seen, therefore, that the federal budget, as submitted to. Congress, does not represent a very firm set of figure*. T|i8 particularly apparent when we find that it will break even, or produce a modest surplus, only if the Con- , gress passes a number of new bills requseted by the President. Space does not permit consideration, of the merits of these proposals at this point, but a nwre listing ofi a few repeals that the^contain many , kernels of controversVaQd are by do mans assured of Copgfessional -> apofoval or public acceptance: Increasedj oostal r^tes, with emphasis on raising the3-cent letter rate to 5 cents. \ Substantial reductions in the . Agricultural Conservation Program (ACP), under which far, me-s are paid for certain soil treatment practices. Reductions in grants yt- the states for school construction near federal installations, hospital construction and public assistance. The President’s budget message al ojrropo'es Congress enact legislation. affecting the succeeding fiscal vears, ending' federal contributions for Vocational education. 1 increasing the employee and employer payments into the Railroad Retirement Fifnd, and endihg Federal financial assistance in the const-ru-tion of local sewage-treatriie’t plants. ,'s;*' The President also plans to recomend that veterans’ pensions be studied with the implication - that he may favor a reduction in nonservice connected benefits. His budget presumes no extension of the direct bousing loans* program for veterans. Dividends of College Education Case X-307: Herbert L-, aged 18, is a high school senior. “Dr. Crane, I get out in February,” hfc began. “My mother wants me to go right into college, but mv Dad thinks* I ought to go to work in his store, , / “And I actually don’t know what I want to do as a life work. So would it be sensible for me to go on to college and spend all that money, since I still have no special career in mind ? “If so, what kind of college should I select?” - College- Facts ■ ’ If you are smart enough to make passing grades, by all means go on to college for at least a year. Dr. Paul C. Glick, of our "Cen- • sus Bureau, analyzed the educational background of ^Americans and compared it with their future earning power; Please notice his challenging data, tabulated below: Education - Life Income 1-4 yrs. grade $ 72,000 . Grammar Grad. 116,000 High School Grad. 165,000 1-3 yrs. college ■ 190,000 College Gred. , 268,000 • Your high school diploma is <hus worth. $49,000 is future earnings so by alt means graduate. from high school. Teen-agers whq quit high school to make some quick money for the purchase of a jalopy to impress a girl friend, are actually pulling the financial rug out from under their future wife and children! So be smart! Get more education both for yoUr cultural growth and also to givc your, family a better living standard through all the years ahead.-'-- . “An investment in knowledge, .. said wise old Benjamin Franklin, “always nays the best dividends.” His advice is doubly proved by Dr. Click's data, j * What Ctllefr “But where should I go to college?” Herbert asks, "especially since I don’t know what I want to 'n li*rpr life?" ' ■ - jvln this situation, you can profitably attend a Business College; where stress isplaced on \valuable nrarrical subiects. such as Business Law.' Applied Psychology! Public Speaking, as well as Accounting. Typing, Medical . Secretarial courses, etc. Unless vou expect to spend four years in college "preparatory to teaching pr entering the professions. such as law. denistry, medicine, etc,, you will get better dividends from Business College than from one or two years of general subjects in the Liberal Arts colleges. Even if you go to a Liberal Arts college for only a year, however, vou wilt otofit all through later life in a broader outlook, plus a wider cultural horizon, \ And your confidence will be greater, which is one reason why Dr. Gidc’s data showed that even mif of college adds $25,000 to one's later life time income.^ You teen-agers have a life expectance nowadays of about '55 more years after. you graduate v vi, school, so don’t rush into tyen-age weddings and quick jobs.

Sanders, Executive Secre Grandmother's Ginger Snaps Crisp, thin gingersnaps and rosy baked apple* are good 'i 3 winter dessert. 'i’hln gingersnaps, so crisp they almost broke at a touch, were Grandmother’s specialty. Grandfather liked them best of all with a side dish of rosy baked apples The secret of Grandmother’s •ookies, we learned as' we grew •p, was her skill in working with a very soft dough. Deftly she rolled out the soft, fragrant dough until it was almost paper* thin. Then she cut round cook* !<■* that always seemed perfect, $ W ien we i tried making the cookie’. the dough' stuck to the b ard and to the, rolling pin. So we added flour, and the cook* . tes came out tough and hard ■ Instead of crisply tender. Grandmother just smiled. Nowadays, few of us have time for laborious rolling out of dough and cutting out of . cookies, no matter bow delicious ■ the results. To our great delight. w# four that Grandmother's j famous recipe gives perfect resu’tf v. .1 our newer, quicker method. So it’s our turn to smile. Cue secret of the new method is to use nutritious margarine as the shortening. The other Is simply to drop the soft dough by teaspoonfuls on a greased cookie sheet. Then flatten it by pressing each bit of dough thin with the bottom of a tumbler covered with a square of moiatened clean cloth or a 'square y of aluminum foil. By pressing^ firmly and evenly, the cookies;'” come out as round and thin and I pretty as Grandmother’s were. Even Dad says they’re eve: better than Grandmother’s.

In the drying-off the dry period she needs good feed with special attention to salt, and mineral needs *•"1 restore' herself, in preparation for future calving and future lactation. - ( Too often, however, farmers feel that the dry cow is the non-productive member of the herd and they fail to provide feed and. minerals in rite quality and amount removed by the animal. This is not good management s Or. F B. Hart, of the University of Wisconsin, estimated that . during a heavy lactation, cows lose as much as 25 per ant of the calcium and phosphorus of their skeleton. They even become subject to hip and leg fractures because of these mineral losses. During the drying-off and the, dry period the cows, for the first time since calving, are in a position to restore their necessary reserve nutrients. Not merely the visible reserves that show up as good con-' dition of flesh, but also the invisible reserves?the minerals and vita-; mins .that are stored in the skete- j tons, the liver, and other organs of! the body. In addition to restoring her reserves during the d^y period, the cow is meeting larger and larr ^er nutrient demands of the growing fetus.■■’ ; , - ;; !» is vital to make sure she receives the right kind and amount of minerals. Dr. E. B. Meigs of the United States Department of Agriculture has demonstrated that an adequate supply of phosphorus during the dry period is rewarded •vith a better flow of milk durinf the following lactation. The op posite is true too—phosphorus de ficiency during the dry period re *r>i!t«d in lowered,milk production j ^t the Ohio Experiment Station, Dr, E. 8. Forbes shown 1 that cows accumulate the vital , calcium and phosphorus in their bodies most effectively only during the dry period and in the latter of lactation. | Good managment call* for care during the dry pertod. To restore the nutrient reserve* she fca*T»t into the milk, she must have decent roughage, whether hay or silag or both, If her body condition requires it, don’t hesitate to feed ^ a few pounds of suitable grain mixture. Protein £vel of the mixture would depend on the kind and quality of the roughage fed. » When' limited amounts of grain are fed a mineral supplement mixture of one part trace mineralized salt and ope or wo parts of dicalcium phosphate or steamed bonemeal should provide the necessary minerals.

WAT^CH REPAIRING QUICK SERVICE COVERSTON*S WATCH SHOP Mam Street FRONT ROYAL Vehicle Inspection Procedure To Change Captain R. B. King, State Police Safety Officer, stated today that reaction to the proposed 12monlh inspection , procedure by the pubbcfcjnfonnation media and station operators has been generally in favor of the changes. , Briefly, the new procedure, slated tentatively for JanjiaryKl, 4959,'will permit th« motorist jto chose any of the first six mon^hs/of ■ that year in which to have his vehicle inspected. Within six months after the month selected, he must have his vehicle inspected again. Should January be the month ' selected, the motorist will receive k sticker bearing the numeral.“7’’ jfrhich indicates rcinspection must be accomplished by the following 'July 31. Should February}* selected, the sticker will bear the numeral *’8” indicating; reinspection by the end of August. Through this means, the State Police hope to spread inspections more evenly and eliminate crowding of the official, stations. Registrations, Captain ■ King, said, are now about 1 Vt minion in contrast- to less, than 400,000 when inspection was inaugurated in 1932., The safe official noted two questions have been a^ked in connection with the change.

BROILERS Broiler prices for the ijext couple of weeks should hold the strength they’ve picked up and ~pOssihly do a little better. We’re now in the seasonal low period for supply, and even thtfegh^ there are something tfike 10% more'broilers than lastyear the . time, good demand plus a rmtiveIjr shorter supply of competitive^ meats should hold the line. Virginia prices at the end of last week were 1 to 3c above the preceding week at 18-20g. Delxnarva was 19 to 20%c; Georgia and North ‘Carolina mostly 18c. v . r _I CAjVjtO j Egg prices will probably pause in their downward! trend this week, maybe even improve briefly. An unusually sharp price drop last week plus cold weather which probably hit production some, should serve as brakes on a furher decrease this week, j Grade A Large eggs in Richmond last week \kere 42c a dozen Harrisonburg, 41c, "(with 1 to 4c added on special contract eggs) New York, nearby eggs 42-44c; midwest eggs in New York, 39 to 41c. SLAUGHTER CATtTLE t The immediate outlook for slaughter cattle in Virginia is better than it is nationally. And we’re now in the historic^ price improvement season. The bottom, as {usual, was in November-December. Demand has shown up strong for our fighter weight cattle, and the supply is somewhat limited. Heavier weight cattle coming to midwest markets are being discounted. Of course, in the long CULPEPER LIVESTOCK MARKET Culpeper, Virginia Steers: slaughter, 21-25.40; feeder, 20-25.75.

' Prices at Virginia auctions last weeck averaged out $24.75 for choice steers; $$2225 for good steers. That’s a dollar higher for the week; $3.50 higher than last year. And the improved level showed up in all cattle prices, with cows about $3 above a year ago; veal, $2.50 above. At a special fat cattle sate in Fredericksburg last week, most animals sold were good grade steers at $24 to $24.50. Choice steers, while few in number, rang-. ed $25.50 to $26.40.
