The purpose of the meeting was to discuss and plan for a co-ordinated forestry program throughout the sixteen counties for the comingyear. Problems involving fire prevention and suppression, forest management, reforestation, and forest insect and disease control were discussed A fact of? vital interest to all personnel present was the sharp in- - crease in hunter fires which occurred in the district during the. fait of 1958. Twenty ^percent of alt forest fires or approximately 35 of the total 173 fires occurring, last year were caused by hunters. <”* ■ a comparative basis, this is more V. an twice the number generally stemming from this cause w thin an average year.

SARAH C- LATHAM, Menacing Editor Entered as Second Class Mail at the Pof\ Office at Washington, Va. SUBSCRIPTION (in advance) ....i... $2.60 PER TSAR Public Schools; The General Assembly* convening this week in Richmond, must come up with an answer to the Federal Court’s ~ stand on public school integration. ' • ( * It is senseless at this date to argue that the Federal Courts lack constitutional grounds for their action, orAthat they have illegally assumed the right to pass laws. Congress will not check the Courts and the President is willing\ to back them, even -to the extent of using troops. There seems to be but one solution to the problem. The people must decide by vote whether a majority prefers mandatory integrated schools, or prefers the right to close all schools in a given area rather than have one integrated. To effect this choice, we must first amend our State constitution to permit closing public schools Should the people wish it. g Once this is accomplished, the big issue will be how much of a territory should constitute a deciding entity. Should the decision be state-wide, or county-wide? We " think it should be a county matter. There are some counties that would prefer integrated schools. Let them integrate. There are some counties that would prefer to close schools. Let them close schools. The contribution of state funds to the counties should be continued as a tax equalization measure. However, these contributions would have to be made to the general fund of a county and not allocated for school purposes. Thus pay7 paent could not be stopped by Federal Court order, and a county would not be punished financially for closing its schools. Finally, to permit a change of opinion to be felt, the question of segregated or integrated schools should be resubmitted to the people of each county for a referendum at regular intervals, a year or two apart. • J We feel that given a proportionately equal financial states, each county will find for itself the pathway best suited, for itself. ^ B.C.B. Jr. • . - \ YOUR CONGRESSMAN REPORTS B< Rftt. Burr P, Harrison Washington—The federal budJ get is a dreary subject, but .s a tremendously important one for every citizen. The Federal Gov. emment is the biggest spender in the nation. The amount it spends has a strong influence on the pace of inflation. Inflation, obviously, has a disastrous effect ort the value of the contents of our pockethooks. The budget, then, should be in the thoughts of the housewife, hoping her household allowance wdl feed and clothe the family adequately; of the farmer, hoping his available cash will permit him to replace some of his worn-out equipment of the factory or office worker, ^ hoping to be able to buy a new automobile'one of these days; of the businessman, hoping,to see hisway clear to expand his pla.it or store. * In other wcrrds, all of us have a direct interest in the President’s $77,1 billion budget, now under ' consideration in Congress. One of Mrr Eisenhower’s comments in submitting the budget was this: "With a balance in our finances in 1960, we can look forward to tax reduction in the reasonably foreseeable future,” The prospect of tax reduction certainly » a welcome one. We must remember, though, that the President is asking Congress to raise taxes in order to achieve the "balance-in our finances” of which he speaks. The balance, then, is to be achieved, !h the main, not by reduced spending but by extracting $9.1 billion' more from the taxpayers than is being taken in this fiscal year. A record prosperity—or record inflation—depending on the economic point of view—will enable the present tax rates to produce revenue at a much higher rate it is predicted. On top of this, though, the President is’ asking new taxes on motorists, airlines, insurance companies, farmer and other Co-operatives, mining operations, railroads and their workers 'and users of the mails. Once more, too, the President is asking an increase in the permanent ceiling on the national debt— a$2 billion boost to $285 billion. Mr. Eisenhower states bluntly in his budget message that, “the estimate <of $77.1 billion in receipts for 1960 is contingent on enactment of the tax recommendations” —no higher taxes, no balanced ^budget. Virtually everyone would be affected by the President’s reccommended 1%-ccnt per-gallon increase iq the federal gasoline tax, land by a 5-cent charge for mailing a first-class letter. Increased taxes on aviation gasoline, and a iiew tax on jet fuels should be passed on to the passengers and shippers, the President said, meaning higher fares for airline passengers and higher charges for air express and air freight. Watch and Clock Repairing ; QUICK EXPERT SERVICE COVERSTON*S WATCH SHOP Main Street atXXKjSKSOtWOtXSSStSOOCWt*^ FRONT ROYAL Even if we assume that the people, through their representatives in the Congress, will accept new and higher taxes, it seems a grim * victory when we balance the budget at a level of $77.1 billion a year in federal spending. As the President pointed out in recommending this much spending, the figure would be $12.4 billion higher than in 1955, “an average increase of almost $2.5 billion a year.” Chairman Clarence Cannon of the House Committee on Appropriations has been in Congress since 1923. He has seen many budgets. His committee has the job of passing on each expenditure proposal. Mr. Cannon, keeping his eyes glued on the spending figure of $77.1 billion, said this: ‘‘This budget for fiscal 1960 tops all previous record budgets from President Eisenhower. It? proposes spending far beyond any previous Eisenhower budget submission—even beyond the recordbreaking peacetime h u d g e t submitted just a year ago. It is $5 billion beyond the budget against which the people, and even the Administration itself, rebelled only two years ago.” I remember my mail > ot two years ago, in the weeks following submission of the President’s budget. The people were angry, and insistent on economy; and the Congress reduced sharply the President’s budget figures. This year, most of my budgett mail asks me to support the President—Support a budget which sets another record for recommended spending. Social Security News Employers of household workers "are reminded by Miss Florence M. Schaffner, Field Representative at, the Alexandria Social Security Off ice, not to forget the deadline for reporting earnings of and paying the social security taxes for their domestic employees. The report for the quarter ending In December must be filed by January 31. Each such employee who is paid $50.00 or more cash wages in the calendar quarter must be included in the report. Miss Schaffner said that the simplified err elope type of tax return which Internal Revenue Service provides is the easiest way for most employers to furnish the necessary information and to pay the social security tax. Each employee must be reported by name, social security account number and the amount of cash wages paid. The employee’s tax is 2*4 % and the employer’s share is 21/4%, a total of 4%% of the wagesjxajde(Beginning with wages^-pata in 1959 the tax will be 2Vz% for each.) , For^iurtlffi- information regard ing social security tax returns, consult the Internal Revenue office. For information concerning old age, survivors, or disability benefits, feel free to call upon the social security office at Alexandria. PITTS* PARK THEATRE FRONT ROYAL Matinees Daily 3 P.

Burr and Marie Fletcher' Mooooaoossoogonc Weeklti Farm Price Outlook FED CATTLE Fed cattle price prospects look pretty good at least until the and of March. There are a lot more catdp on feed, but these make up only about 40 to 45 percent of total slaughter. Slaughter of cows aand calves, which make up most of the balance is expected to be down. Balancing; one against the other, total slaughter in the first part of the year should be' pretty close to last year’s level at the same time. With the ecooomy on. the upswing, fed cattle prices may level off some by March, but no material decline is indicated. Weight breakdowns of the cattle now on feed indicate earlier marketings and probablv heavier weights, with ample com supplies in the principal feeding states. If you have cattle on feed, it looks like a good idea to give them all they will eat. It won’t cost you any more feed in the long rtn, because they will put on finish quicker. 'v And plan to sell at least by the end of March, shooting for low choice grade in finished animals. Fed cattle prices were up 50 cents to a dollar in Chicago last week, with a top of $31.25 choice and prime at $27.50 tot $30.50 and good cattle at $26 to $28. Virginia auctions were up about 25 cents with choice steers bringing $27 to $28.25 and good steers $25 to $27. Virginia usually lags b e hi n d Chicago which should mean a little higher Virginia prices this week. HOGS Look for a drop of 75c to $1 in the general price pattern of hogs between now and the end o f March. You may expect week to week fluctuations in hog prices but prices will cpntinue their usual seasonal downward trend. But ronemben that hog prices LIVESTOCK PRODUCER’S NOTE !

Right now, Virginia slaughter is down compared to the same time a year ago. However, for the nation, slaughter for the week ending January 17 was at the highest level since December 1956. Market receipts in die 12 major markets this week were down 19 percent from the previous week, but up 19 percent from the same week a year ago. In the Virginia auctions, top hogs were averaging 20 cents higher at $18.25 with the popular prices ranging from $17.75 to $19.00. Richmond prices were running $18.00 to $18.50 which was;25 to 50 cents higher than last week. Baltimore top weight hogs sold for $19.75 which was $1.00 higher than the previous week’s prices. FEEDER PIGS You may expect feeder pigs to average a little less the next couple of weeks han they have been running in Virginia. Last week, prices in North Carolina sales trailed December prices by $2 to $3 due to a slackening in demand. This slow/down in demand is expected to rontinue into the sales for the next couple of weeks in Virginia. But, if you have feeder pigs to sell, the organized sale will still be the place to get top prices. Prices for feeder pigs in the last organized sale averaged $19 per head. If you’re thinking of buying, remember that if you buy now, you will be selling at the time when the market should be on its upward trend. LAMBS Report for the nation on tlhe number of sheep and lambs on feed for market January 1 indicate numbers are four and a half million head, up 7 percent over last year. However, this figure is one percent below the five year average. The Corn Belt States are up 6 percent from last year and the Western States up 10 percent. Disability Benefits Unclaimed More than 175,000 dependents of disability insurance beneficiaries have not applied for monthly benefit payment^ according to R. E. Parsons, Assistant Manager of the Alexandria Social Security Office. Parsons said that a number of these dependents are in Rappahannock County and could have been drawing benefits since September 1958 had they filed application with the social security office for these payments. Parsons explained that it is not yet too late to get payments back to September but urges all persons who.are receiving disability benefits and who have dependents to contact their social security representative as soon as possible.
