THIRTY YEARS AGO
IN THE Rappahannock
News for
many years appeared a column titled “The Walrus Said" by Lucy Bowie. On August 10, 1950 she had some comments on location of a government agency in Rappahannock County:
“Many and varied are the opinions concerning the possibility of the location of a government agency in Rappahannock County. With the census report standing at 6067, then there will be 6067 opinions.
“Discussion runs pro and con on the advantages and disadvantages. Some think that the value of real estate will be helped. Some are afraid of circumstances involving discrimination problems. Some think that the new people brought in by the government agency would be an asset. Others think that if the people could be hand picked to suit the community, it would be all right. Soma wonder if too many new people in the.county would change the county for the better, or not. Some argue that it is a conservative county and most folks like it as it is—or is the expression something like a desire to maintain the status quo rather than "fly to the evils we know not of. “One opinion was to the effect that the topic furnished pleasant conversation and that was not one chance in a million that the agency would be located here, anyway, so enjoy the discussion and let the worries alone.”
