Letters To ( ditor
Residents Favor
Annexation Plan

Editor of the Herald
Since l live in the area involved
in this annexation suit, have
followed With considerable inter-
est the Letters to the Editor. .
written by Mrs. Grace Gordon.
Mrs Gordon has long been one
OF our most outstanding citizens,
and she is highly respected
throughout the community In her
case against annexation. Mrs.
Gordon has presented her facts
very well but there is very much
to be said for those favoring an
neXation
Mrs Gordon's first objection
was to the inclusion OF certain
areas and the exclusion Of others
l have no idea why the Davidson
Estate homes weren't included
unless it is because they have
shown no desire to be annexed
The residents Of that area live in
houses of the $4,000 class, and
therefore the tax increase would
more than offset the advantages
OF. annexation Those people don t
want it, On the other hand. the
people of Serpell Heights and the
surrounding areas live in houses
Of the $4,000 to $4,000 class.
These are the majority Of the
some 300 people included in this
suit These are the people who
want to become part Of the town
proper. These are the people Mrs.
Gordon is overlooking.
The tax increase. and this is
the only disadvantage to being
annexed. on these homes will
amount to less than $50 a year.
The reduction in water bills upon
becoming a part of the town will
pay half of this. and the COllec
ton OF garbage will more than
offset the other half If you have
ever tried to get rid Of your gar
bage. or wondered what to do
with it. then YOU probably don't
appreciate the value Of being on
the pickup schedule, but we in
this area have been trying to be
annexed for more than two years
There again is the element of de-
, sire.
The people Of Serpell Heights
want to be annexed I have talked
to them. and the majority want
it. Also. for a lot of homes in this
area. the fire insurance rates will
be reduced as they will be nearer
fire plugs which are to be INSTALL
ed
OF course. If I had a business
outside the town limits. I would
be very much opposed TO this an
neXation because Of the larger tax
assessment, but l would also try
to remember the businesses in
town that had to start paying
this tax with less notice than
those now in question. Also l
would try to remember that they
arc still in business and doing
well.

Invest 5 Cents, Save
S. In Corn Damage

Five cents spent now can pre-
vent SIS damage to Virginia S corn
crop this winter. This is why John

moloRist, VPI, urges Virginia
farmers to protect the 1854 corn
crop against rats Each rat will

Once a building has been fixed

The Great Out Ot~Doors
BY 4. LOUIS DAHL

Up on the Potomac last Sunday
I was glad to note the great num-
Der Of black ducks which had
come into the marshes From
other parts Of the State come
highly favorable resports of great
concentrations Of Canada geese
Two of our popular local sports
men. namely Buck Sydnor and
Charlie Fleenor will be down on
the James River Friday in quest
of the big honkers Some of tn
fellows are invited to shoot over
a private marsh near brakes
Branch. and the rest Of US less
fortunate folks will be scattered
along Willis River and upper Buff
falo River swampS.
Numerous deer are on the move
these day, with the approach OF
the mating season, and unfor-
tunately several have been killed
on the highways near Farmville
In areas where deer are custom
arily found. they are definitely
more numerous than for several
years. And while on the subject,
let me pass on to you plea from
all Sportsm n-"If you're hunting
birds. or other small game don't
fire on a deer Just for che heck
Of it, A fine specimen may be
wounded only to run off and bleed
to death in some swamp Grip
pied game which gets away does
MT do anyone any good
There continues the need for
an organization of some KIND u
which all OF US who are interested
in hunting and fishing can be-
long. How would you fellows feel
about forming a chapter Of the
Virginia Wildlife Federation In
this territory? AS l understand
it. there is no requirement as to
regular meetings. We could get
together, say. twice a year for q
dinner and have a lot of fun tell
ing tall tales and discussing Ser
iously any proposed legislation
which would affect our interests
Think il over. and let me know
if you want to start something
along that line. DR.. Pennington.
who lives in Buckingham and who
was the first president of the Fed
Grafton. has kindly offered 10
come over and meet with Us at
any time. There are no initiation
fees in the newly organized Fed
Grafton. and dues are only IS cents
a year. Personally. I believe that
We have a good Game Commission
and one that is. trying to improve
the hunting and fishing for all of
US Still. there are time when VIC
want to be heard from. and that's
when strong representative
group of sportsmen would be
worthwhile.
One last word bsfore the duck
season opens Friday at noon. Be
'ure to get your Migratory HINT
'ng Stamp, commonly called
Duck Stamp"

Better ~ Programs.

4 congressional committee has recently
looked INTO the question whether crime
and violence on television has had any
effect on youngsters in the United States
This is an issue which has been kicked
around for several years and there are two
very vocal groups sounding off, one for the
pros and another for the cons.
In our opinion, it is obvious to anyone
who has ever watched television long that
the level Of plots, dialogue, and events in
television plays is low
We do not claim to know how much the
killing, excessive drinking, etc, have affect
ed the youth Of America. We do know
that it cannot possibly do the Youngsters
any good.
Now as to what we think should be
done about it, we disagree with those who
want to set up a regulatory office That
would be an evil greater than the evil now
being experienced. in our opinion We
agree with the witness who told the con

greSsional committee looking into the prob
lem the other day that the best solution
was in the collective action of viewers.
Viewers specially parents = should
note the sponsors of the unsatisfactory
shows. If sponsors Of the current TN pro-
grams knew that mothers and fathers
everywhere were checking on the moral
level Of their productions, they would
surely crack the whip with their perform

In that direction lies the answer. They
should write letters to the company, eN-

what few hundred letters could accom-

Hungry Horse news., 1954-10-22

Columbia Falls city council is in process of
adopting an ordinance that will restrict trallers
within the community to trailer parks.
There is some opposition based on the thought
that man should be allowed to do with his prop
erty what he wants furthermore that banning trail
ers here and there about the city is encouragement
for these people to live in other communities and
not here.
1t would seem that Columbia Falls should ap-
proach the trailer ordinance with the viewpoint
that here is the first step toward having zon1ng IN
the community Sensible zoning is considered GOOD
planning for every community
1t is certainly not fair to a man just completing
$4,000 house to find the lot next door turned IN
to temporary location for trailer, lacking ade-
quate sanitary facilities.
Today in Columbia Falls without zonlng, an
auto wreckng business can set up in the middle OF
the former town square. service station can be
placed on any corner in the residential district:
There is practically no control to what type OF
building will be erected next door.
We see management of the trailer problem as
first step in achieving zoning in Columbia Falls.
Good trailer parks should be encouraged and not
scattering of trailers over the community.
Columbia Falls would become somewhat OF
freak as small city, if the community didn't ex-
ercise some control in building NIX
Hungry Horse news., 1954-10-22

Adequacy of schools is certainly foremost
point when it comes to judging town as place
to live.
No one community in the district faces this
problem more at the moment than does Martin
City. 80
There is a four-room school erected IN ls4o.
It was not large enough this fall to adequately
provide for ia students in grades one through SIX
Result found Principal Durward Bollinger having
more than 40 students in his combined fifth and
sixth grade ROOM .
From the Martin City standpoint we think 1t
was mistake to solve the problem by offering the
opportunity for fifth graders to ride the bus INTO
Columbia Falls, if their parents so desired Column
bia Falls sixth grade rooms are full but there are
available desks for a few fifth graders.
Other solutions to overcrowded condltlons IN
Martin City include renting nearby building such
as the Lions hall for an overflow class. Finding
school overcrowded one year is not reason TO start
building an addition right away However some
thought could be given to the feasibility OF NOV
ing part of the eight-room Hungry Horse scnool
to Martin City. Hungry Horse has three teachers
Martin City has four and needed five.
From the taxpayers immediate STANDPOINT
bussing half dozen overflow fifth graders from
Martin CITY to Columbia Falls was solution at
little cost The choice of coming to Columbia Falls
was completely that of the parents involved
On the other hand, Martin City sees nearby
