FREDERICKSBURG, Va, Sept
20.-The big changes in Virginia
agriculture which have occurred
since Model-T days are demon
strated in the revived Fredericks-
burg Fair.
In this once predominantly dairy
country, farmers are showing more
beef than milk cattle.
The cattle are fat and the pros
perity of their owners is attested
to by the fact that there are more
exhibits of farm machinery. new
automobiles, deep freeze units,
stainless steel kitchen assemblies,
modern furniture and teleyision
sets than anything else.
This is the second year of the re-
vival of the fair in Fredericksburg

Revived Fredericksburg Fair
Shows Big Changes in Farming

where fairs have been held since
1743 believed to be the earliest
fair date in America.
One of the big successes at the
fair has been the American Red
Cross tent where visitors are giv-
ing blood for the troops in Korea.
Yesterday the fair management
offered free admission to any one
who would donate blood. More
than $50 persons came in that
way and the blood bank had more
business than it could handle.
One of the exhibitors who won
a blue ribbon was Lewis Strauss,
former member of the Atomic
Energy Commission, whose female
Angus Aberdeen, was best in her
class. Mr.. Strauss has a farm
near Brandy Station.

There is no shred of difference

ut must be clear that the use

Fairfax Citizens Score
Civic Groups Stand on
County Government

Guy M. Bayes, president Of the
Fairfax County Federation of Citi-
zens Association, today charged
the newly organized County
League of Civic Organizations
with an apparently deliberate use
of a glaring misstatesment" to
stir up racial and religious issues
in the county.
There seems to be little point
in defending the Federation of
Fairfax County Citizens Associa-
tions against the latest attack by
the small committee formed to
fight for the. county executive
form of government" Mr.. Bayes
said.
But I cannot let pass unchal-
lenged," he added, "the commit
tees apparently deliberate use of
a glaring misstatement to stir up
racial and religious issues where
there is none. Surely the group
must be barren of rational argu-
ment and devoid of real concern
for the county to do such a thing" Z"
Refers to Report.
Mr.. Bayes referred to state
ment Sunday by the new organi-
zation headed by Charles D.
Hamel, Mclean. former Judge of
the Tax Court, This statement
was a reply to an earlier state
ment by the federation.
Specifically he continued
"this new committee refers to an
earlier federation discussion of the
question as to what should be
done about the small-17 per cent
minority which now dominates
the County Board of Supervisors.
The committee quotes the fedora
ton itself as saying that it re-
jected the idea of protecting any
small minority. The committee
then uses this misquote to threaten
racial minorities" and "other
minoritiesv with the loss of pro-
lection should county manager
government win.
"This, Irepeat, I is an irrespon-
sible misstatement carefully cal
culated to rnislead. This commit
tee--as well as every resident who
has read the federation's published
statement knows that what the
federation said was this:
1--WE rejected the idea of pro-
tecting any small minority by
giving it control over the ma
jority.
THE federation. as this COM
mittee knows, referred to the small
rural minority which dominates
the county's government by means
of district election of supervisors.
@" Peoples Right to Choose.
"The people of the county
have a right, if they choose, to re-
tain election of supervisors by
area without regard to popula-
tions. Conceivably, it may be for
the welfare of the county to give
three supervisors to the rural area
which has $1,000 residents and
three to the suburban area which
has $1,000. For our part, we be-
lieve that the county manager
form provides a reasonable COM
promise between area and popula-
tion representation.
1T provides that each district
shall be represented by a bona
f1de resident but that all six rep
resentatives answer at election
time to all the county's voters
for whom they levy taxes. zone,
and provide schools and other
services.
'It is entirely possible that
when the referendum comes, the
people of the county may not
choose this method. But let them,
if they will, choose this key ele-
