|/fekV ptXXSS0P0PO0PQPiS»PBPtS30i | Rapp - Chats 5 By W. H. LYKG a Comity Ajfent Plans have been completed for three bus loads pf Culpeper, Madison and Rappahannock fanners to go to the Pennsylvania Farm Show on January 13th and 14h. The group will leave Culpeper at 5 :00 or 5:30 a'.m. on the 13th; go to the New Holland machine assembly line, visit one or two farms in the Lancaster area, spend the night at the Holiday Motor IHotel, and see the evening program at the Farm Show. The group will visit the Farm Show the next day until about 3 or 4 p.m. and then return home. The total cost should be around $20 per person for the two days. A $10 deposit for each reservation is necessary to cover obligations on bus fare and a portion of the lodging. The Culpeper machinery dealers are cosponsoring die tour and donating $4 to $5 per person. Those interested in making the tour should contact their county agent’s office as reservations are being made on the basis of firstcome-first-served. • * • • It is interesting to note the suggestion by our Horticulture Committee that apple and peach trees beyond a profitable age, and those of off variety, be done away with is happenin. j ' V Mrs. Lelia G. Noyee has completely bulldozed but the'afiple or-' chard at Wakefield Manor. R$rnard Dahlgren is getting rid of his Bonums; aim reports Lurie Voight is bulldozing his orchard. Maurice 0*Bannon says he’s getting rid of some old trees and from the stumps seen here, and there Buck Brown apparently plans to do some resetting with more popular varieties. Selecting for quality and volume in production of any farm commodity that meets market specifications is simply,a must for those who plan to stay in the farming business no matter whether it be tree fruits or livestock. ;■ Service being offered without charge by the I.B.M. section of the Department of Agriculture Economics at Virginia Tech is growing in popularity every where in the state except Rappahannock. WHY? Probably because I have neglected talking and writing about it, however, JANUARY 1st IS A GOOD TIME TO START. As one would expect, the first step, which perhaps should be taken before the end of the month, is to make a complete inventory of your land, buildings, equipment, tools, livestock, crops, feed, seed and supplies. Personnel at your county agent’s office will ** help if necessary. All necessary forms are available upon request and without charge. At monthly intervals all participating farmers send their records of income and expenses to their county agent who mails the full lot of records to Blacksburg. ALL SUCH RECORDS ARE STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL. Each farm is given an IBM number. As records are received the info is put into the machines. Quarterly summaries are made of each farmers business so he can tell just where he stands throughout the year. At the end of the year a final report is given and you have a complete accurate record and NO HEADACHES. Let, us know if 3 ou are interested. Deer MeJJH Deer hunting enthusiasts are numerous the country over and quite a few deer were checked in at the checking and weighing stations ki the county. The latest and most unusual deer hunting story of the season, or for many seasons was reported in the Richmond Road vicinity recently. It seems a farmer was riding along in his pick-up when he spied a deer placidly loping at an easy pace down the road. Fortunately, or maybe we should jsay unfortunately, he had his gun with him. He stopped the truck and took aim, with the barrel of the gun resting on the window ledge. He fired! The gun kicked and mashel his mouth, and bruised his hand. The deer? It maintained its steady placid pace down the road. Tnc hunter was too abashed for further pursuit. Seems his father, a few days later, presented him with a handftd of stones and told him to try them next time.

Warrenton walked away with' the remained of the game with a final score of 59 to 31. The Panthers were off both offensively and defensively and they threw the ball away, missed shots and were guarding loosely. Their usual rebounding was lacking. A oout a tnira or tneir points were gained at the foul line. Butch Browning was high scorer with 8 points. Bobby Hawkins was a close second with 7. The Panthers showed great improvement in the game Tuesday with Marshall but still were unable to overcome diem'. Rebounding was much better than in previous, galnes and they held the score to 53 for Marshall and 45 for Rappahannock. Buddy Moore was high scorer for the Panthers with 18 points. He made 12 out of 14 foul shots. Friday the Pantherettes squelched the Warren ton sextet with a resounding score of 43-24. Shirley Brown was high scorer with 22 points and was ably helped by Ginger Russell arid Jean Lilt lard with 9 and 6 points respectively. Shirley Smoot did an excellent job of guarding and rebounding. The second string made a very good showing near the end of the last quarter. The Pantherettes got their first taste of defeat of the season Tuesday night when they encountered Marshall with their over six-foot forward Thelma Lewis. It is impossible to guard her to any degree without fouling. As expected, the Marshall players fed die ball to her squarely under the basket. Shirley Brown was again high scorer for Rappahannock with 19 points. The final score stood' at 61 for Marshall and 44 for Rappahannock. 011, Applesauce III Of all things thaf Rappahannock doesn't need more of is apples and that’s just what she got whm a tractor-trailer turned over at Massie's Comer, the intersection of Routes 211-522 December 11. The nailer, loaded with apples (the last wreck there was apple butter and apple sauce) was a 1956 GMC owned by J. E. Cannon, \ and operated by Hiram Moseley of j Jacksonville, Fla.

LATHAM, Managing; Editor Entered aa Soeond Claaa~Mafl at the Poet Office atf Waihlngtcn, Va. SUBSCRIPTION (in advance)-—--*2.60 PER YEAR , Letter From Denmark Miss Lelia Gentry, a Fullbright student Jn Denmarktells of Holiday customs there and sends Seaf son’s Greetings to the County. Dear Friends, There are so. many folks in Rappahannock that 1 would like to send greeting to, and so little time that I'll try to say Merry Christmas to everyone at once. Denmark is a.lovely place to be at this season. In this little land (only two^thirds the size of Virginia) you feel that fairy tales and Christmas wishes actually will come true. Every Dane considers Hans Anderson to, be his unelp, after all more. translations have been made of his stories than of •Many other book beside the Bible, and Denmark is proud of him. The country forms a bridge between Europe and the rest of Scandinavia, and for centuries people of many nations have traveled across. As a result Denmark has customs borrowed from many nationalities, and this makes Christmas more exciting. First, purely Danisfi are little heart-shaped ornaments, woven of paper, to trim the tree. These are, traditionally red and white but / may also appear in other color combinations. The patriotic Danes trim the tree with long strings of their red dod white flags, and white candle* are lighted on Christmas Eve. The whole family dances hand in hand around the tree, singing, and theft open their gifts. Many will go to a midnight church service to complete the big day. V However, before this comes the Christmas meal of rice pudding with cinnamon sugar and almonds. The person who finds the whole almond gets a special extra gift. Then comes the goose, with goiled potatoes and gravy, red cabbage, and die meal ends with cakes and marzipan candy. Marzipan is almond paste and is made into all sorts of fancy shapes for the holiday; fruits, pigs, angels, Santas and churches.. Pigs are especially popular. Santa is called Jule-Man and has many, many helpers in little Jule elves called nissers. Most stores use them' for decorations and they are evidently mischievous little people for I have seen them twisting the pig’s tajlr deer, and these deer are iolr in any size from three feet to three inches. Like other Scandinavians the Danes tie up a big sheaf of oats on a pole for the birds when * snow flies. We have had snow and may have a white Christmas. I can only wish for sunlight*; we have had ten minutes of it in the last six weeks. Yes, it’s foggy or misty and only light from 8 JO teasing the cat, etc. They are shown SEIBERLING COMMUTER RECAPS 25% Discount NEW MUD & SNOW TIRE I • X . 'Z.

CULPEPER, VIRGINIA ajft. to 4 p.m. Remembering die crisp, clear wt'nter nights with bright moon and stars at home, 1 wonder where the Christmas Star is. From Sweden comes the custom of the Advent Crown, a hanging wreath with four white candles, one to be lighted each Sunday durAdvent. Also Swedish is the Lucia festival for which one girl is chosen Lucia Bride, crowned with five lighted candles in a wreath, and attended by other girls dressed in white. They sing in honor of Saint Lucia, the Saint of the lights. No colored lights are used on the trees, only white bulbs which are rfiost like the candles. I will be able to enjoy some features of an English Christmas. I am in a carol singing group of students from England, Scotland, Ireland, Denmark, America and Canada. The English Church will hold the traditional nine lessons in car- - ols which lest everyone from the smallest choir boy to the bishop take part in reading and explaining the Christmas Scripture^ The Danes have carols and Christmas Psalms. As one of the gayer songs says, “Jule was long and costs much money,” and another, “Jule lasted until Easter.” Again may I say to one and all, Merry Christmas! Lelia Gentry Marielystvej—1 Kbenhaun—F Danmark \ YOUR CONGRESSMAN . ( DPnADTC! REPORTS fit Rtfi. Burr P. Harrison Washington—Wc have been considering, in this space, some of the many inequities and discriminations in our federal income tax structure, as laid bare in the current testimony of .tax specialists before the Committee on Ways and Means of the House qf Representatives. As our study of possibly tax reforms is in an early stage, and no specific legislation is up for active consideration at this time, it should nottbe assumed that mention of a particular instance of favored treatment under the tax laws necessarily indicates my commitment to a specific change in the law. L<et us glance at fne existing discriminations in favor of employee pension plans and stock option arrangements. Private pension plans have experienced great growth in recent years. In 1940, approximately 4,000,000 workers were covered. Now, about 19,000,000 ire covered. The bode value of tthe assets of private pension funds was approximately $2.5 billion in 1940. This value now is approaching $40 billion, according to testimony given our committee. In 1958, we were told, employers contributed nearly $4 billion to such plans, while employees paid in $710 million. The employer’s contributions are deductible by him for tax purposes. The earnings of the pension fund, likewise, are not subject to income tax when earned. The employee does pay income tax on his own contribution to the plan but he does not pay any tax on what has been placed to his credit in the fund by the employer, or what the fund has earned for him through investments, until that future retirement year when he begins to draw benefits. At that time, the employee may expect to be m a substantially lower tax bracket, so his tax liability is significantly leas. This postponed tax liability on the employer cont^hutkms to a pension fund, and on die earnings of the fund, may be viewed as an interest-free loan of the .money which die Government would have collected if income tax were imposed on these contributions and earnings at the time they entered the fund. As only 27.7 percent of the civilian labor force is estimated to be covered by these private pension plans, there is discrimination in their favor and against those citizens who are taxed currently on money being accumulated for their maintenance in retirement. Inevitably, a revenue loss on one group of taxpayers must be balanced by higher collections from other taxpayers. The hearing testimony included an estimate of a $1.08 billion annuil tax loss because of the special treatment given private pension plans. The stock option is an “incentive” device which many corporations make available to their executives. The grantee of the option gets the right to buy a certain quantity of the corporation’s stock at a fixed price. To the extent that the option has value, it is part of the executive’s compensation for his services to the corporation. Despite this, the income produces, when exercised, is not taxed in the same manner as the executive’s salary. Therulesare complicated, but here are example: 1. If the option is to buy at \0 percent of market value—say, he right to buy at $95 a share stock selling on the New York Stock Exchange at $100._t h e optionholder has received income of $5 a share as soon as he buys at $95, but there is no income tax due on this. If he later sells die stock, he will pay tax at the lower capital gaines rates. 2. If the option is to buy at $90 stock selling for $100 on the open market, the rule is somewhat different. Again, there is no income tax payable at the time the option is exercised, but tax is payable at regular rates when the tax is disposed of by the holder. In example No. 1, it can be seen that an executive able to buy a substantial number of shares of a desirable stock at a 5% discount can realize an appreciable immediate income not subject to die income tax, represented by the 5 per cent spread. If he holds die stock until death, and it passes to his widow, no income taX is payable by jfim at any time on that 5 percent bonus. Leaving aside any discussion of the claimed justifications for this peculiar tax arrangement, we can Continued on page six PITTS? PARK THEATRE FRONT ROYAL EREE PARKING IN REAR OF THEATRE THUBS.

“—I Peanuts?? | Well Just_Peanuts Louemma Moffett Several of our subscribers interested in our account of the Farm Bureau Convention held in Roanoke, have asked us to tell them more about those Peanut-People story. Editor When the members of the Rappahannock Farm Bureau asked me to go to Roanoke for theif annual State Convention, I was very much pleased as I have a great respect for their organization and knew fiom attending their convention tn Richmond last year that I would hear some of the very best speakers in the Nation_would be able to learn a lot about the problems of the farmer and of farm families _and better still would see an earnest dedicated group, trying to solve those problems without "Benefit of politics." I also knew that there would be good food.an atmosphere of Virginia hospitality......and entertainment by the “Peanut-People.” They never let you down.__.they keep you wondering...-asking the question, What Next? Being something of a fixture on the home ground, always something to be done, it isn’t easy to get started and my family is never sure that I’m leaving until I’m gone. This time my three grandchildren egged me on. They were deter mined to get rid of me. “Well,” I said in reply to 9ome of their arguments, “It is worth an extra effort to get off, just to see what those Peanut-People will be up to.” ; “Oh! peanuts_peaunts, do they have lots of peanuts,” the three of them fairly yelled.” Go and bring us some peanuts.” "Well, I will,” I answered, “and unless I miss my guess, I'll have a lot to tell you about those “Peanut-People”. I had no idea I had spoken so truthfully. Pick Butler, Farm Bureau Director of Information, had arranged an early luncheon for all Information Workers, prior to the convention. It was held in the Pocahontas Room with long tables arranged around three sides. Newspaper men were seated together. I also noticed a young man a little apart from the delegates, who seemed intensly interested in all that was going on. “Pick” made several introductions and started to take his seat. “Oh! do excuse me Bill,” he said rising and looking towards the young man, then continued, “Ladies and Gentlemen, I want you to know Bill Jones, special representative of the Peanut Industry.” Bill took his bow. “They are off”, I said to the lady next to me. “You said it,” she replied. . * > During the introductions, well trained waiters of Hotel Roanoke, Newiy Arrived!

The special tax treatment accorded plain for the accumulation of retirement income by certain groups_be they executives or production workers in industry„_has given rise to strong demands for a similar concession by the 10,000, 000 self-employed and the some 49,000,000 million employees not covered by tax-favored pension plans. We could put some more patches on the tax garment to accomplish this, of course, but the tremendous revenue, loss would have to.be made up by increased levies on that part of the national income not benefiting by the discriminations. Or, we could strip away these discriminations, favorable and unfavorable, and collect the needed revenue by relatively equal taxes on equal income, regardless of source, through a reduction of up to twoth?rds in the scale of income-tax rates. We cannot have tax reform worthy of the name, though, by focusing on a few discriminations while insisting that others,'involving equal or greater revenue loss, remain sacrosanct.

But watch the trend. The Good to Choice price relationship may change when fed stuff begins to move in volume. And watch the weather. You can usually get a little more for cattle sold right after a Midwest blizzard. .v i Best bet for quality cattle is one of die special Fat Cattle Sales scheduled for Richmond and Fredericksburg during the next two months or so. The first sale Hogs in Richmond last week brought prices above Virginia auctions. It is worth noting that slaughter heifers at the special sale brought only $1.50 a hundred less than steers. If you decide on the sales, remember that cattle are being sold on an out-weight basis this year. Good grade. slaughter steers w'ere bringing $22.50 to $24.75 on Virginia auctions last week. Good and Low Choice cattle in Chicago ""were bringing $23 to $25.75, with a top of $28. Cattle in the Virginia special sale last Thursday topped at $25.60, with Choice grade going at $25 to $25.60 and Good Grade at $24 to $24.50. HOGS Don’t look for any permanent strength in hog prices for the next three weeks or so. Prices probably will fluctuate a little around present levels. You might watch the weather picture in the west. A few days to a week after a blizzard, prices usually take a temporary j)ump when farmers, can’t get to market in the heavy hog-producing areas. Look for the usual late January price jump to flatten out this year. More hogs will be coming to market than last year. The nine big hog stages say they have aboift five per cent more hogs of all ages now, and they will be coming to market until about June. But the industry has shown in the past it can adjust to a heavy supply picture pretty quickly. Prices look as if they may rise above last year by July or so and stay above, provided the spring pig crop isn’t another big one.

4-H Club Doings Walter Saunders Assistant County Agent . With the Christmas season upon us, may of our 4-H’crs have already arrived home from college to be with their families over the holidays. Jack Sisk, Randall and Glenn Updike arrived last week end from V.P.L after finishing their first quarter for the year. Jack and Glen are in their sophomore year while Randall just started his freshman year in September. 4 This past week, after school let out in the afternoons, I visited Walter B. Kilby and Lyle and Francis Updike. Walter B. has two baby beeves he is feeding out for the Spring shows and sales and Francis and Lyle are concentrating on fitting two southdown ram lambs to be sold in the purebred ram show and sale held in Harrisonburg this summer. These boys are very interested in their projects as can be readily seen upon visiting them. Thinking of Christmas and the holidays again, let us all strive to make this a happy and bright two weeks. Let not our holiday season be marred by the shrills of sirens of a fire, an automobile accident or a personal accident which could have been avoided. Let us have a joyful holiday but a safe one too!! TB Control Problems Increasing In U.S. Tuberculosis control problems in the United States “are becoming more complex and varied year by year rather than less so.” This statement, surprising to many people, is nevertheless true,” Hartwell L. Perry said yesterday. “Densely populated areas, and high incidence groups such as persons admitted to general hospitals; inmates of mental hospitals, correctional institutions and jails; alcoholics ; low income groups, parti- ‘ cularly homeless men; older people, and migrant workers,” he quoted Dr. Leroy E. Burney, U. S. Surgeon General, are stubborn pockets of resistance where the disease continues to be a major problem.” Research may speed up progress, however, Mr. Perry said: “For instance a report from the National T.B. Association tells about a hope ful lead-a simple blood test for determining the presence of active TB — being followed in one of the 42 research projects supported by the NTA and its medical section, the American Trudeau Society. This test is still in the testing stage however.” He continued, “The NTA estimates that Krears from now there will be ist 20 million people infected the TB germ, between 20,000 40,000 new active cases red each year, and from 5,500 900 deaths annually.” lie Christmas Seal has bean American tradition over _»st 52 years,” he continued. "Here and every place people respond to it voluntarily, in their . <iwn homes.” Out of the total i unds raised, he stated, 94 per cent ii kept by local and state TB assbdations for their work, and 6 per cent is allocated for national services, including research. ~\T PAYS TO PATRONIZE !

Beneath three huge Christmas trees gay wrappings will conceal presents for each girl and boy, and to make it even more exciting, most of these presents will be exactly what each child requested. The Kiwanis Club of Richmond sponsors the Christmas party, and many other groups and individuals contribute to make the holiday a never to be forgotten occasion for these children.

■ Strength I«’or Life It is difficult to find the Christ* mas spirit la this buqr world, with great leaden exchanging Tints, missiles reaching oat iota the space of the unite me, chemical sprays under biologized suspect, a host of prisioners escaping at one time from a high security prison and . many more events with far reaching consequences. Certainly the events point to the need of a Savior_but how shall we find Him?’ The first Christmas unfolded *midst great world events. The business of that day was taxation and Census. Great numbers of people traveled in many directions, ~ under orders from their governing person. No doubt the inns and restaurants of the day were overworked. No doubt robbers fcnd theives were at work among the multitudes_and yet there in Bethlehem, quietly and without pompt, the Savior was bom. Recognized only by the shepherds who withdrew from the busy world and - ,-iound Him in a manger. Then "they returned to their busy world, renewed and refreshed, with a message of joy on their lips. Let us withdraw from our busy world this Christmas and find Jesus Christ our Savior; Let us at. tend church on Christmas and there worship and kdore Him> that we may Se renewed and refreshed, ami retpm to.our world with a joyous message on our, lips, proclaiming to others of the great event that happened in Bethlehem . and in Rappahannock County. Certified Seed Crop Inspection A total of 27,648 acres of certified crops were inspected for the Virginia Crop Improvement Association this year. This compares to 22,916 acres last year__.an increase of over 20%, says County Agent W. H. Lyne. , ^ , i There were 28 acrfcjEH^i^-ftr certification i n Rappahannock County. This indicates that an ncreasing number of fanners are using certified seed in their attempt to obtain maximum yields, he continued. Soybeans led all crops in acre- , age inspected with 7733 acres. The small grains—.wheat, oats, barley and rye.._..aceounted for 18,185 acres. A total of 71 varities of the various crops were inspected and passed. Every crop under the certification program increased in acreage except hybrid com which decreased almost 10%. This decrease was, e in part, caused by the increased use of commercially developed noncertified varieties now being recommended in Virginia. Essex County led in acreage of certified seed, having 3853 acres inspected. There were thirteen other counties with over 500 acres inspected. In all, 68 of Virginia’s 98 agricultural counties contained some certified seed acreage. H. §. Barksdale of Flint.

Rules For Selection * * And Care Of Christmas Trees . Eighty to ninety persons’may die from Christmas tree fires during the Holiday Season according to the National Safety CoundL An untold oumber of persons may be injured Or made homeless. A Christmas tree is a serious fire hazard unless proper care is taken. Here are some ideas for keeping families and homes safe for the holidays by having a safe Christmas tree.. Step one—Select a fresh, green tree. Such a tree will not readily bum. Don’t buy a tree if the needles are turning brown. 'It has already dried out too much. ... Step two Keep the tree fresh and green. Cut the butt of the tree at an angle about one inch above the original cut and place the tree in water. This angled cut gives a fresh surface for the tree to take ' up water. A saw will make a bet* - ter water absorbing cut than a smooth axe cut. Store the tree in a cool shady ONLY 7 DAYS LEFT TO SHOP FOR RAMSEY HARDWARE INC FRONT ROYAL, VA. place until it is ready for use. If possible sprinkle the branches daily with water. When the tree is put into the house, place it in a water-filled holder. Remember to water the tree.4t may use as much as a quart of water a day. The tree should not be near a stove, radiator, T.V. set or any other source of heat. Step three Use safe decorations and lights. Never use candles or open flame on or near the tree. Check Christmas tree lights for worn and frayed wires that could start a fire. The electrical outlet for plugging in tree lights should be atvay from the tree lights so the lights can be easily disconnected in an emergency. Don’t use decorations that will burn. Don’t let a foil icecicle short a light socket or replace a burned out bulb. Be careful that the electrical ■circuits of the house are not over Joaded. If a fuse bums out, find the cause before replacing he fuse. Don’t leave the house with the tree lights burning. Don’t operate an electric train .under the Christmas tree. \ fallen ornament may short the track and start a fire. A bucket of water may be kept near when the tree is in the house. In case of fire unplug the lights and use the water. Don’t keep a tree too long. Even a carefully watered tree wll dry out in a short time. Here are the three most important steps again. Get a fresh, green tree. Keep the tree green by watering it. Use safe electrical fixtures and decorations. ‘•A well-shaped, fresh, green tree makes a beautiful Christmas tree. For safety and for beauty keep a green tree i n your home this Christmas. -J SperryvUle News Mr. and Mrs. D. V.
