RAPPAHANNOCK . By W. H. Lyne County Agent In recent years your scribe has heard many Rappahannock citizens comment on needs of die county. Some of our teen-agers have expressed concern of the lack of a future for them in their home county. Other citizens have expressed concern over the influx of people from nearby cities and urban areas. Others are much concerned over livestock and tree fruit trends . . labor, cur general economy, etc. While there are many factors outside our realm of control which influence these things there is much which we can and do control once the meed and desire is felt. We ' Can’t: ffel the need, have the desire, or plan with intelligence unless ' e first knpw ‘where we are.’ ny of you people have lived in t’ fs county all of your lives; oth- s for 5-10-15 years or more.’ You have become acquainted with a lot of people—know a good bit about our county government; its eperatinr costs, where our schools are loca cd, etc. Yet how many of you know “where Rappahannock is" with respect to income levels, educational levels, population trends# capital assets, resources, etc.? Is there a place for industry? What are the weak and strong phases of our over-all situation? To be sure all progressive cities, ■towns, counties, farms and businesses, even homes have operating plans.

Rappahannock people are noted for their individuality . . . their bull-dog tenacity to help themselves ; however hoping to help you to get a better picture of “where; you are”, I have, since the first of" the year, been assimilating material pn die county’s people and her agriculture and projecting these data in an effort to give you some indication of “where you are” and “where you might be tomorrow"..

There'll be no kids in echoed, no merchants, no churches, no one! During this twenty-year period our population dropped 21% to a total to 6H2 persons. By projecting this trend to the end of 1958 there are now 5632 people in the county. ; People everywhere are living longer. In Rappahannock the average age of our population, percentage Wise, is becominng significantly older. For instance in 1930 12.7% of our total population was of children under 5 years of age; by 1950 this age group had dropped to 10.5%; those from 1$-19 years Continued on page twelve

Rappahannock news -PUBLISHID THURSDAY MORNING ^ At Wokington, Bafpahwmoek County, Virgin* 1 * TELEPHONES WASHINGTON S861 BASIL a BUXU, JR. Owatr Mn. SARAH C. LATHAM, Mwgfag Bdltar Entered M Second Claw MalJ at the Poet Office at Washington, Vs. IUB8CK1PTI0N (in advance) -- |1— PEE TM YOUR CONGRESSMAN REPORTS fit Ret. Burr P. Harrison Washington—It now has become evident that President Eisenhower’s budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1 cannot be balanced even if the Congress follows all of his recommendations or\ spending and meets his requests for a 50-per-crnt increase in the feder, This is so because the income estimates furnished the President (by bis budget advisers and used irt the January budget message t» Congress now appear rather definitely excessive. Mr. Eisenhower predicted in his message that the Treasury would take in $77.1 billion in the year. Staff experts of the Joint Congressional Committee on Internal Revenue Taxation have come forward in recent weeks however, with the results of their own study, pointing to income of $75.8 billion less. The new estimate was not disputed by the Bureau of the Budget. t This means that a deficit is assured unless spending is cut well below the level proposed by the President. While there is good reason to believe this could be done without endangering our national defense or essential domestic services, the prospects of its being done are not bright. As noted in last week’s report, the House of Representatives has voted less money than asked by Mr. Eisenhower in the few regular appropriation bills acted on so far. These measures await further act'on in the Senate. Regular appropriation bills, however, unfortunately are not the full measure of federal spending, 'In many cases commitments r.r.de in authorizing legislation arc of such nature as to make it essential that the funds to carry out the ■ omnrnnents be made available wl'en required. At paying-up time, th? F ' -ral Government cannot- rui. out on its obligations. Strong suppo ’ s built up in Congress, for de, for programs which w spend, in the years immedia: ead, substantially more th~- President had in mind for fx airports, aid to economically ' /tressed areas, school construct^: t, and aid to local public work, enerally. < Oft the other hand, little public support has developed for Mr, Eisenhower's proposal to raise to 5 cents the postage rate which went from 3 to 4 cent# last year. With the States hard pressed to scrape up their own shares of the huge interstate highway program, there has been little enthusiasm, either tfor his recommendation that the federal gasoline tax be raised from 3 to 4% cents in order to keep the federal spending on this program on schedule. The most reasonable forecast at the moment, therefore, is the gloomy one of continued deficit financing for the Federal Government - - moi*e borrowing by the Treasury at increasing rates, which taxpayers and their children and grandchildren will have o pay. Some of the so-called fiscal experts who prefer not to fact- up to the distasteful job of cutting down sharply on non-defense spending now have come up with a new sugar coating which they suggest could make spending in excess of income more palatable. This prescription is called the “capital budget”, and it sponsors contend it makes deficits disappear. The idea is to set aside billions of dollars of annual federal spending under a bookkeeping heading of "investments” and not ’iclude them . among the expenses listed in the regular budget. Money spent ori construction of post offices, dams, federal office buildings, etc., would not be listed as “spent”, for example, but merely as “invested”. Then, this reasoning goes, if w« managed to balance income .and outgo with respect to the regular day-to-day housekeeping of the Federal Government, it wouldn’t make much diffemce in the budget picture what we spent on such capital improvements as public works. How much happier the taxpayer would be, as he paid his increasing PAGE THEATRE LliRAY, VIRGINIA THURSDAY APRIL 9 “SENIOR PROM” JILL COREY * FRI. SAT.

( * - STATE INSPECTION Now In Effect Bring Your Oar In Today CLOSE PONTIAC CO. Ph. VA 64000 RAPPAHANNOCK had declined 1.7%. In fact percentages ofyounger people in all age groups 29 years of age and under dropped 7%! During the same period the states population increased by 8%,829 people or a whopping 37%. Are not businesses based on people? People to produce, people to process, people to sell, people to consume! What is the situation in your own church? Are there younger people coming on to take over the spiritual leadership now resting on the shoulders of people already over loaded with responsibilities who in addition are becoming less productive? With a declining population will Rappahannock ever be successful in getting a dentist to locate here ? We have a healthy climate to be sure, but can we get along without the services of a doctors, dentists, preachers, or merchants, filling station operators, teachers, farm laborers, etc.? Assuming that great leadership ability, business know-how, or basic productiveness is found among people from 30-64 years of age your county has more potential percentage-wise in this respect than at any time in her history! In 1950 35.5% of our population fell in this age group as compared to 31.1% twenty years earlier. People above 65years increased 2.4% percentage wise. This does mean however, that more and more responsibility is and must be assumed by fewer and fewer people. We are losing people of productive and reproductive ages. Why ? In the future, this could mean less earning 'power; greater taxation upon those carrying the load. Generally operational costs will remain more constant. There will be greater need for old age assistance. More people receiving social security benefits.

Phone: VA 5-8013 CULPEPER, VA. I have quoted in previous issues of the News that: “man is the product of his own thoughts’’ . . . “he is today where his thoughts have brought him—will be tomorrow where his thoughts take him.” Knowledge has more impact on thought than any other single factor. All knowledge, no matter how gained, is an experience. Man is bom...he gains the knowledge that fire can be painful—that tears frequently bring sympathy. Later he becomes more independent then becomes more dependent. He gains knowledge from experiences. “Know-how" is a basic requirement of true leadership. The degree of enhusiasm or indifference is often proportionate to ones knowledge or understanding of the situation, the human beings involved, the purpose, or what have you. Doubt—trust—faith, in our selves or in others, are all thoughts infuenced by knowledge. We can’t be good leaders nor good supporter nor even followers, for or against, without awareness. Which side we are on, or get on. is also governed by knowledge or degree of knowledge. Fot these reasons, lets face our selves— our situation— with openmindedness and thought. Are we as smart, or as well.iiiformed as our ego frequently leads us to believe? Men-our women have more schooling than we do. In 1940 the median school years completed by our male population was but 5.1 while the gals had completed 6.3 years. Ten years later we men had gained more increase in schooling than the females; the males had advanced to 5.8 school years but were still a full year behind the ladies. Progress yes, but how do our education levels compare with state averages ? In 1940 we men \ycre 2.2 school years below the state average! Ten years, later wo were just as far behind. Our female population in 1940 was 1.4 years below the state average and ten years later were a full 2 years below the average! During a recent conversation with Billy Kilby, Chairman of our School Board, he expressed deep seated joy in the realization that several of our young men are now in college while in| some cases their parents hadn’t finished high school. This is as it Should be. Most parents enjoy beyond words the fact that their children are getting more than they . did. Indusry is looking for skilled labor. To have skilled labor meanR we must have more education. If you were manager of an industry looking for a new location, where would you go? You’d locate where the labor is available of the highest educational levels. If we are to keep-up educationally it is a two-way responsibility. Parents must encourage their children and our children must take advantage of opportunities. Boys here is something to think about.
