Virginia Milk Records
Show ) Firms Filed
Earlier Price Pleas
BY the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va, Feb. IAN
examination of State milk COM
mission records showed yesterday
that at least three distributors re-
quested the half-cent price in
crease approved for Northern Vir-
ginia earlier this month.
These distributors took the view
that they would require at least
this much more for their home
delivered product if the commits
sion allowed the $6.05 per hundred
paid producers for winter milk to
continue throughout the year.
The rates approved by the COM
mission. however, granted the half
cent boost on home e-delivered milk
making it 225 cents for single
bottle deliveries. But it raised
prices paid producers to $6.17 a
hundred, an average year-round
increase of IS cents.
Says Firms Required Rise.
M. H. Burchell. secretary-treas-
urer of the Alexandria Dairy Pro-
ducts Co., said his firm would re-
quire the half cent boost even at
the $6.05 figure. He was joined
in this request by Maurice v.
Davidson of Chestnut Farms
Dairy. Washington, and r. H.
Rawlins of Thompson's Dairy.
Washington.
Mr.. Rawlins, however, had ssug-
gested earlier that relief be given
to distributors by knocking eight
cents hundred off the price they
paid to producers.
The prices that went into effect
January 81 on home-delivered
milk made it 22.5 cents a quart
for single bottles, 21.5 cents for
three quarts on one delivery and
20 cents on 6 quarts delivered at
one time.
Testifies on Costs.
James E. Click economist for
the Maryland-Virginia Milk Pro-
ducers Association, testified at the
hearing in Alexandria that the
cost of producing 100 pounds of
milk in January. 1851, is $6.75-
As cents above the January. 1850,
figure.
Meanwhile two Southwest Vir-
ginia marketing areas advised the
State Milk Commission they were
holding up 1-cent price increases
pending clarification of Federal
price freezes.
The markets are the Southwest
Virginia Market and the Smyth-
Wythe Market embracing II Vir-
ginia counties. The new price
would be % cents a quart. The
commission also granted an in
crease of 80 cents a hundred
pounds to producers in the area
making the new figure $500.

Truck Owners Pack
State Senate Hearinq
To Oppose New Tax
BY The Associated Press

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 1.-Unsound,
unfair and punitive were among
the charges laid down in a heavy
bombardment yesterday by truck
ers against a proposal to add a
tax on them.
They packed the Senate cham
Der to oppose bill that would put
a new tax on trucks over $4,000
pounds. After hearing eight of
their spokesmen and a score more
waiting to talk, the Senate Finance
Committee recessed the hearing
until Tuesday.
While the truckers tore into the
commission report from all sides,
the hearing developed into more
of a probe into overlooking. This
phase was promoted by members
of the committee who questioned
witnesses for reactions to sitter
penalties for violations.
This line of debate evoked from
Marshall Stewart. vice president
Of the Maryland Motor Truck As
ISOLATION, a statement of amaze
ment." Il thought this was a.
hearing on taxation" he said.
Elias Nuttle, a Denton business
man, also said the bill would mean
punishment of overlooking" and
was not consistent with the dis
cussion.
Mr.. Nuttle said the new tax
would take 20 per cent of his net
earnings. A Towson contractor,
Bruce Campbell, estimated it
would cost him $114,000 a year.
The commission had estimated
the taxes would amount to 81
million.
Joseph Wyatt, another Mary
land truck spokesman, said the
ton-mile tax has been proven un-
sound. eight States having tried
and abandoned it.
The tax would be 2 mills per
ton for each mile travelled in
Maryland.

Study Ordered
On Sanitation
Authority Plan
Foirfox Supervisors
Name II Citizens
To Check Proposal

A committee of IL Fairfax
County residents was appointed by
the Board of Supervisors yester-
day to consider establishment of
an authority to expand and
operate all types of sanitation
services in the county.
The committee is to decide first
whether the authority plan is the
best way to handle Fairfax's
sanitation problems. If this is
agreed, the committee then is
authorized to lay the groundwork
for creation of an authority.
James j. Corbalis, jr., county
sanitary engineer, recommended
creation of sanitation authority
yesterday at special meeting of
the Board of Supervisors. He ex-
planned it could be created under
Virginia's now water and sewer
authorities act and would con-
solidate all the county's SANTA
ton services under one agency.
The committee was set up on
motion of Supervisor Arthur
Schaffer, who said "the authority
plan does look most promising"
Some Set-Up Held Necessary.
Other supervisors agreed with
Mr.. Corbalis that some setup is
needed to cope with the county's
growing sanitation problems. He
explained the authority would be
similar to the Washington Subur-
ban Sanitary Commission in near.
by Maryland.
The sanitary engineer said that
once an authority is established
it could handle all water. sewer
drainage and garbage and trash
collection services. The SUPER
vlsors wanted to lnow how this
would be paid for, and Mr.. Cor
pans replied the authority would
levy charges for sanitation sery-
ices. 1t could not levy taxes. he
emphasized, and all rates would
have to be approved by the State
Corporation Commission after
public hearings.
Appointed to the Authority
Study Committee were Bryant
Smith, Lewis Travis, Joseph Baker.
Walter Grain, John Carper, Ralph
T. Powell, Randolph Buckley,
Herbert Haar. Jim Ferguson,
Berwyn Babson, c. B. 'O'Shaugh-
messy and Pete Ball.
Dispersal Report Authorized.
The supervisor authorized G.
Hubbard Massey of the county
planning commission and r. M.
Loughborough, executive secre-
tary. to prepare a report favor
able to proposed dispersal Of Fed
eral agencies into Fairfax County.
The report is to be filed with the
Senate Public Works Subcommit-
tee considering dispersal plans.
Some of the problems that will be
created in Fairfax by dispersal
are to be outlined in the report.
In addition the supervisors in
structed delegation of county
officials to appear before the SEN
ate Banking and Currency Com
mittee and outline some of the
financial needs that can be ex-
pected to arise if Federal agencies
are dispersed into Fairfax.
Another committee, composed of
Mr.. Massey, Mr.. Corbalis, Mr..
Loughborough and Planning Di-
rector Herbert Schumann, was
formed to prepare another dis
persal report for the Northern
Virginia Regional Planning Com
mission. This report is to catalog
existing facilities that would be
available for public use in Fairfax

ings. In a moment of inspired elo-
quence, the Polish cantor coins
an epigram that for century
served as the rallying cry of anti
Zionism. At the dedication cere-
mony, he exclaims: "This syna-
gogue is our temple, this city our
Jerusalem, this happy land our
Palestine"
THE SPIRIT OF THE TIMES
The reforms initiated by Isaac
Hardy made little impression
upon his contemporaries. Even in
Charleston, the innovations peter
out shortly after he left. Innocu-
GUS as they were, these alterna-
tons can hardly be considered his
brainchild. Obviously they are the
changes demanded by the Eman-
cipation. In his petition, Hardy
quotes from the Frankfort Jour-
nal and reveals the new influ-
ences radiating from Prussia,
Holland, and Germany. A genera
ton later Poznanski introduces
the organ and such modernization
as he has seen in Hamburg.
The German group in Charles
ton were naturally receptive to
the new strings in the Fatherland.
They followed the trends already
in operation and soon to be sys-
tematized by Isaac M. Wise, the
true founder of Reform Judaism
in America. But it is possible that
the revolt of 1924 expresses pent
up resentment against the stagna-
ton of Portuguese dictatorship
with its stratified social arrog-
ance.

QUESTION: What is the deri-
walton Of the term "congrega-
tion?"
ANSWER: The term is general
ly traced to the Latin term "grex"
or "gregis" which means ''flock"
or ''herd." Thus we get the Latin
"congregare" which means Ito
gather into a flock" From this
we get the Latin "congregatio"
which is the basis for our English
term congregation"

CL.INTWOOD'S
WELLS GO DRY

ClintWood is dry and becoming
more so each day, not in the usu-
al aceptation of the term, but be
cause of the lack of water.
Following a period of dry
weather during which time there
has been only few light show
ers. the towns water supply has
steadily diminished from the nor
NAL 100000 gallons per day to
less than 10000, so reports
Charles S. Perkins, chairman of
the towns water commission.
Paul Skeen, principal of the
high school, is reported as saying
that if the water supply continues
to dwindle, the school will have
to close.
Perkins blames part of the
present shortage of water to the
failure of the public to cooper
ate with the order issued about a
month ago to conserve water by
stopping washing cars, sprinkl-
ing lawns, etc.
Clintwood has a 100000 sup
ply system which started operat-
ing only last spring 1t is estimat-
ed that $500 live within the. COR
porate limits of the town and de-
pend upon the towns water sup
ply,
1t is now pretty well agreed
that nothing can be done to rem
edy the deplorable situation that
confronts the town unless there
is more abundant rainfall within
the next few days.

Trace Fork School
Patrons Celebrate

The above picture shows a part
of the more than 1875 guests who
were served by the Trace Fork
PTA and Home Demonstration
Club at jointly sponsored COM
munity supper on Saturday even
ing, Sept %, in their repaired
and repainted school house.
The community is justly proud
of the changes in the building
since the improvement program
was started in June. At that time
he roof was leaking, plaster peel
| ing from the ceiling; there were
large holes in the walls and floors
and not a whole window (very
few whole panes of glass; in the
building. A committee of citizens
was appointed to secure the CO.
operation of school authorities Of
both Wise and Dickinson coun-
ties, since the school serves the
children of both, and soon all this
was changed. School patrons
worked with the school repair
crew to give the building a new
roof, repair ceilings, walls and
floors, replace window panes and
give the building a new coat Of
paint inside and out The school
ground was also cleaned up and
smoothed to make better play
ground. Not the least of the bene
fits derived from the improves
ment program is the new sense of
responsibility and civic pride de-
Veloped among adults and chill
dren alike. Each now feels that
this is our school to be taken care
of and improved instead of be-
ing carelessly abused as it has in
the past by a few undisciplined
children.
Special credit goes to the new
principal, Oakley Collins, of Rt. l,
Wise, for his fine work in train
ing the school children along this
line
The purpose of the community
supper was to raise funds to buy
a refrigerator in which pupils
may keep milk for lunch, to start
school library and buy other
needed school supplies,

POWERS FAMILY
HOLDS REUNION
(Contributed)

Descendants of Mr.. and Mrs.
Oliver Powers met at the home of
Allen Powers, a son of the deceas
ed, and held their first reunion,
Some $50 members of the family
were present despite the short
notice sent out by Jack Powers,
another son, who called the meet
ing.
Oliver Powers moved from
Scott County in wagon to spot
near Cranes Nest, which at pres
ent is a coal mining town near
Coeburn He had to cut out a
path over Caney Ridge through
Fuller Gap, thence down Cranes
Nest River, about six miles to
the spot where the meeting was
held today. He built a large hot
house and reared ten children,
eight of whom are still living.
The oldest of the children still
living is Mrs. Sarah Cantrell OF
Pound, who is 80. She has fifty
grandchildren, $50 great-grand-
children and 25 great great grand
children, making a total of 225
descendants
All together, the children have
285 grandchildren, 22O g re a t
grandchildren and 26 great, great
grandchildren making total Of
531 descendants of the Powers
family.
The other children are: Jack
Powers O f Camden-on-Gauley
w. Va; Edd Powers, Clintwood;
Cumbow Powers, Pound; Allen
Powers, Coeburn, Rt. 2; Mrs Cora
Mccoy, Pound; Mrs. Ellen Bever
ly, Mt Sterling, KY.
The average age of the surviv-
ing children is a little over 78
years
Dutch Powers died some time
ago at the age of 78 years, and
William was killed at a sawmill
at the age of 40 in the year 1910.
The Powers family is of Scotch
Irish descent. John Poor, grand
father of Oliver Powers, moved
from Scotland to England while
he was an officer in the British
service, and later came to Amer
lea. The name Poor was for some
reason changed to Powers.
In this family have been nine
ministers and sixteen teachers.
The Powers are a sturdy, hard
working, fine group of people.
