Forest Fires Increase In 1959 | The Division of Forestry reports that 4 total of 394 fires burned 3,073 acres of forest land in the sixteen-county Northern Piedmont District in 1959. This represents a sharp increase, both in number of fires afid acreage burned,, over the yearibf 1958. In 1958, a total of 173 fires Turned a record low of 445 acres. As is usually the case, brush burning caused the largest numbeir of fires with 46 percent of the total coming from this cause. Smokers, the second largest, caused 22 pertent of the district fires this year. Other causes included railroads, hunters, lightning, lumbering- and incendiaries. In Rappahannock County, 7 fires burned a total,of 38 acres at , forest land. The increase, both-*fr number of fires and acreage burned is attributed to a number of reasons. One of the principal reasons was die distribution of rainfall in the spring, which is generally the most dangerous period of the year. Although an average amount of rain fall was recorded during the spring, it was not well enough distributed to prevent high build-ups of fire danger over extended periods. The lack of sonw, and its padded effect on dead vegetation, plus it$ value to the soil in die storage of! water was also a contributing factor. High winds during critical periods, plus carelessness on the part of brush burners and smokers were the remaining principal causes. Rapp’k.

SUBSCRIPTION (in advance).|2.50 PER YEAR “HOW TO RUIN A TOWN” Taking a strictly negative approach is seldom justified, we agree. However, in this case we feed obliged to make an exception, inasmuch as the following message by an unknown author on “how to ruin a home town” gets across some pretty potent points that all citizens could well ponder. Here’s how: 1. Don’t pay taxes. Let the other fellow pay his. Vote against taxes, then fuss because the streets are not kept up and the police protection is lax, 2. Never attend any of the meetings called for the good of the town. If you do, don’t have anything to say. Wait until you get outside and then cuss those who made suggestions. Find fault with everything that was done. 3. Get all the town will give you, and don’t give anything in return. Write unsigned (letters to the editor demanding more for your tax money. 4. Talk co-operation, but don’t do any work for the town unless you get paid for it. And by all means, refuse to serve uniless they make you chairman. 5. Never acceptcan office. It’s easier “to criticise than to do things. Accuse anybody who serves in an elected office .of being a publicity seeker. 6. Don’t 4° any more than you have to. When others willimgiy and unselfishly give their time to make it ^ better town, howl because the town is run by a clique. 7. Don’t back your fire dr police department. If the firemen work to bring the insurance rates down, tell everybody that is what they are supposed to do. Don’t thank them or the policemen fo endangering their lives so that you might have a safer town in which to live. Demand special treatment; raise cain if anybody expects you to obey traffic and parking laws. 8. Look at every proposition in a selfish way. If you are not the one that gets the most out of it, vote against it. Never consider what it will do for the good of the town as g w^iolc. • . • 9. Don’t do anything for the youth of the town. Criticize them a^potenial delinquents. Keep your feet on them. Encourage them to move away when they grow up. 10 If you have good town leaders, <ton t follow .them. Take a jealous attitude and talk down everything they do. 11. Don’t work on any committee. TeQl them, Im too bU12. Don’t say anything good about your town. Be the first to point up its shortcomings. Pretend that if trouble comes your way, it will be residents of some other town kwho wild visit you while you are ill, bring in the fire department if your home is burning, comfort you if you lose a dear one, stand back of you in disaster. . , 13 And don’t support your local retail stores and industries. Claim the prices and services in stores in other towns are better. Claim industry and its payrodl hurts the town. But if you need a donation, ask yopr local stores and industries for it. Expect them to back you^but don t back them. If these 13 points don’t ruin ytfu!* town, its not your fault. You did your best! _ No. 19—125 bu. ITO No. 200—95 bu.

YOUR CONGRESSMAN REPORTS B'- Rst Burr P. Harrison Washington—When is a Congressional appropriation for a federal public works project essential to the national interest, and when is it irresponsible spending? Both question and answer are politically-charged, and the answer may depend on the year. On August 26, 195$, President Eisenhower vetoed a public works appropriation bill passed by Congress because it contained money for 67 projects not listed in his budget request submitted earlier in the year. In his veto message; Mr. 'Eisenhower commented, in part: “By any sound test of urgency, these projects should not be started this 'year if we are to have a responsible federal fiscal policy. I believe that the American people look to the government to see that their tax money is spent only on neccessary projects and according'to a priority as to urgency that does not weaken our financial structure nor add to the tremendous debt burden that posterity will have to pay." The President also recalled that, in his budct message of last year, he recommended “that no funds be appropriated to start additional projects in 1960.” The projects to which Mr. Eisenhower objected were not thought up on the spur of the moment by Congress. They had been the subject of engineering planning pursuant to prior authorizations of the Congress and had been pronounced ready for work by the federal engineers responsible, but the President, in the exercise of his discreation, had not selected them to be recommended for work in the current fiscal year. Subsequent to the veto, the Congress, in the exercise of its discretion, passed another bill, including the same projects and provding that the overall appropriation should remain within the budget total. When this also was vetoed, the Congress, by the two-thirds majority required by the Constitution. enacted the appropriation measure into law. Now, another budget is before Congress, and the total amount involved sets a peacetime record for such Presidential documents. Last year, the ' President recommended against starting new public works projects in 1960. For fiscal year 1%1, however, Mr. Eisenhower is asking money for ten new local flood protection projects and two new reservoir projects, as w’ell as eight new channel and harbor and two new lock and dam projects, y Tie overall appropriation for riversi and harbors and flood control cbnstrwCffon work by the Army FThgtffeers, including projects already underway and the new ones the President proposes starting. is described thus in the budget: “The requested appropriation of $718.4 million represents an increase of $57 million compared with the amount appropriated for 1960 and an increase of $110.2 million compared with 1959.” The Army Engineers money, of course, is not the only money in the budget for federal public works. Other hundreds of millions for example, are requested for the big projects of the Reclamation Service in the West. As to new starts Dy me Army Engineers, which Mr. Eisenhower shied away iyafh last year, however, he now Mias determined, in the exercise of Presidential discretion. that the national interest dictates that the coming fiscal year see us working on such jobs as fixing up the harbor at Bridgepor, Conn.; improving navigation on the Minnesota River, Minn., and ' the Floyd River, Iowa; flood control work at Pantego and Cucklers Creek, N. C., and corredfeg un satisfactory conditions in Kawainui Swamp, Hawaii The urgency of these and other projects in the budget now becomes the concern of the appropriations committee of the Congress. The only certainty at this time is that there will be a public works appropriaion hill, as there is every year.

Change both ways is needed. Farm income from sale of timber and pulp is a sad situation. A 'sjow crop yes, however much of our land is suited to nothing else and the income from such sales can be increased five fold with sound management and marketing practices. In 1959 212,710 seedlings were planted by ‘farmers as compared to 107,000 in 1959. Two land owners qualified for timber-stand improvement under A.C.P.

i — Ramblinga From Rappahannock DEAR FOLKS Hope you all had a glorious weekend. I know we did. Johnnie Clore of Clore Pontiac in Culpeper told me this morning that he and has wife"visited the Oliver Purants Saturday night and had such a nice visit. Stella Dennis Johnson has a spanking brand new son 8% lbs. Sus Slaughter, now Mrs. Bill Howie entertained at a shower for Stella Saturday evening at 8 p.m., but Stella missed the shower. She was called to the hospital by the stork a little before 8, but the gifts are lovely^ I understand. Congratulations Bob and Stella. The Frank Huffs have moved to Sperryville. They will be missed in Washington, and by the Rescue Squad. Frank was always r^ady when the siren blew. There's just not much news. The folks who don’t have flu have mumps. Heaven forbid that I do not get either. Wade and Dump Massie hive both been sick with flu. Wade is able to be out, but Dump is still put. Tom. sprained his ankle. Dump said he had been going up and down so much nursing them, she guessed it just gave away. He was‘able to go to school today, however. Miss Kate Wal'H;er, Russ^e Miller, Julia Settle, and a host of others also have flu. I just hate for my friends to be sick on such a wonderful day, as today is. , I Came back today to find a letter from Marta Tholand on my desk. If any of you would like to give a friend of yours a pony, a lamb, (they are precious), a pig, (not so precious, but good), or a box of apples from the Rappahannock Hunt Club, just see me or any member of the club and we will be glad to tell you exactly what to do. Don’t forget the Point-to-Point Races are March 5. Start making your plans right now. Everyone always seems to have so much fun. fPt’sone of the first races of the season. Do not know how the hikers came out yesterday. Sarah did not go, since her mother was spending the weekend with her. Bob Estes said he had a ball in Richmond. The speeches were very interesting, the food was good, etc. >> Wish you could have seen Jackie Price Wfth my friend ‘Squirt” Bauer Saturday evening.

It’s Leap Year again_and you can blame the Scots for declaring it open season on bachelors. They probably saw the custom of letting a woman pop the question as a way to put money in the treasury and take spinsters off the welfare rolls. According to the research of World Book Encyclopedia, Scotland is said to have decreed in 1288 that ladies “of, bothe highe and lowe estait” shall have the privilege of proposing during leap years. If a man refused the offer, he was fined as much as one pound_ unless he could show that another woman had a prior clam on his afA fections. The ladies, however, had to give fair warning that they were out to catch a man. If the edge of a scarlet flannel petticoat wasn’t clearly visible, a man was absolved from paying the forfeit. France reportedly passed a similar law, and the ladies of Florence and Genoa are said to have been given the prvilege before Columbus sailed to America. The gallant English supposedly didn't need * law to make them give the fair but single sex a break. But they backed up the custom by depriving a man of benefit of clergy if he scoffed at a leap year proposal. Even'if he didn’t hurt the lady’s feeling’s, he was obliged to present her with a silk gown..—as a consolation prize. Better get out my red petticoat quickly, there may sill be a chance for me. 1 FEDERAL INCOME TAX MADE OUT JOHN J.

Wants ABC Laws Modified The Board of Directors of the Virginia Restaurant Association today passed a resolution in connection with 'local-optioni voting for cocktails and highballs with meal service in restaurants and hoteb. At its meeting in Richmond, the Association Board, noted that it would support legislation that would modify the present ABC laws to provide for the sale of alcoholic beverages in Virginia. It said: “Such legislation woul bring about moderation in drinking here in Virginia which is now the 11th State in annual per capita consumption of alcohol. Such a law also would aid in bringing additional revenue to the State and counties; it would cut down the number of stilb in the State; aid in decreasing crime; be a tremendous aid in holding down drunkenness and be a financial aid to restaurants and hotels, suppliers of these places and a boon to many other facets of the economy here in Virginia.’ In addition, the Association’s Board said that “Virginia is the cradle of American democracy, and yet, to this day, Virginians have not been allowed to vote in their local areas on whether they desire the privilege of ordering a cocktail or highball with meal service.” Last week the Virginia Hotel Association and the States Young Democratic organization both passed resolutions urging the General Assembly to pass a local-option drinking law. logs wanted See us for length* Gilliam A Sons Lumber Co.

Urban deaths were down from 163 to 122 while rural ones rose from 698 to 721. Deaths of servicemen fell from 71 to 59. Observing that 1959 was the second consecutive year year im which deaths were reduced, Col. Woodson emphasized the fact that the reduction was slight and left no room for complacency. “Upwards of 845 unnecessary deaths can be nothing but a disheartening indictment of our society,” he concluded. 4-H Club Doings Continued from page one mond Sutphin, Eddie Sutphin, Donald Gore and Walter B.
