When our Stalwart fore
fathers declared the Colonies
independent of England, they
were well aware that the
highway ahead would be
many times as rough as the
road behind.
In cutting the economic
and political ties with the
mother country, the Colonies
were asking for it." as the
saying goes. They got it:
War, economic privation,
hard times and struggle, but
in the end they emerged
strong, closely knit and free.
There are, of course, all
shades of independence and
freedom. There are millions
of so-called wage slaves" in
this country who love their
jobs, enjoy the security of
the weekly pay chick and
wouldn't trade their positions
for all of the tea chests in
the Boston Harbor back in
1773.
BUT THERE ARE millions
Of other Americans who must
have economic freedom as
we'll as political independ-
ence. They trade pay-check
security for independence.
The farmer has long been a
symbol of rugged individual
ism in this great Nation. He
takes pride in his independ-
ence. but he pays a heavy

toll. The same may be said
for the non-farming country
dweller. Often a rural area
is called "hard-Scrabble
country" and Rappahannock
County is no exception.
On this very farm there
was once an operator who re-
sorted to cock fights on Sun
days to bring in more money,
we're told. Every Sunday aft
ernoon he would station a
farm hand on the road to
watch out for the sheriff and
the State police. A LONG cara
van of sporty patrons would
drive into the farm and down
deep into the orchard, where
the cock fights would take
place.
The story must be true,
because we have stumbled
across the little arena in the
orchard where the fights
were held. There was a
charge on 81 per auto, and
on many Sundays as many
as 200 cars came to the farm.
They also tell here about
the farm owner some years
back who "hard-scrabbled"
by operating a mobile slot
machine on the side. It was
mobile because he kept it in
his automobile and drove
around on weekday evenings
and Saturday nights to let
the boys have their fling.
This floating Monte Carlo
put its owner in the black,
enabling him to pay off his
farm mortgage and add much
acreage to his holdings.
Some of the farm hands
who lost their weeks earn
ings this way later claimed
that the slot-machine owner
would often think of some
chore he had to do just when
the bullying machine was
about to hit the jackpot. He
would drive off hastily, they
relate, and return about IS
monutes later, habing dis
gorged the machine himself.
Personally I doubt this
part of the story. Farmers
are too honest.
Such illicit activities, of
course, are the exceptions to
the rule.
HARD-SCRABBLE around
here consists for the most
part of having any number
of miscellaneous legal activ-
tiles.
Take Buford r. Armel, for
example. He started out as a
dance band leader. Then he
learned plumbing and elec-
trical work and now does
both. But in-between times
he built a tiny drive-in movie
theater. After a hard day as
an electrician and plumber,
he can be seen at his thea
ter collecting tickets.
Cash is hard to come by
in the country. You get it
every way you can.

GOODNESS which she had en-
loved IN her childhood days in
the mountainous northern re-
gions of Babylon. No vegeta--
ton is found now at the site OF
the ancient gardens, but the
massive brick piles which sup
ported the terraces remain as
mute reminders Of a kings
devotion.
The gardens consisted of a
vast network of artificial ter
races, vineyards, and groves.
Water was pumped by engines
through the terraces to simu-
late a series of small water
falls. Ancient Babylon was
situated on a plain which lies
between the Tigris and Eu-
pirates rivers, 70 miles south
of Baghdad. The kingdom
fiourished about 2,225 Be-,
when it was the richest and
most magnificent of cities. It's
reign ended when it was con-
.quered by the Medes and Per-
slams prior to 500 BIC.
Still standing is the Ishtar
Gate, one of the great land
marks of old Babylon. 1t con-

lars which arch over the as

Elaborate carved replicas of
unicorns, grifins "a monster

the walls of the gate in low
relief. They are gracefully ex-
ecuted and well preserved from
the ravages of time and wealth

their original glazed finish.

Dick Walsh and Mason War
ren, president and secretary
respectively, of the Council

Unions in the Phoenix area de-
clared that other steps were
also being taken in support OF
the discharged workers at the

Walsh noted that the dis
pute which began with the fir

companying newspaper an

that they were being fired be-
cause they joined a Union, had
brought to light some of the
worst working conditions ex-
isting in the Phoenix area.
Continuing, Walsh said that
legal affidavits signed by the
fired workers indicated that
the women had been forced to
work as much as 9 and 10
hours day six and seven days
a week. The workers have al
so complained of inadequate
rest rooms with men and wo-
men forced to use the same
facilities.
Warren stated that in addi-
ton to the sub-standard wages
paid by the company and the
violations of the women's eight

brought out the fact that en-
ployer had not been paying
Industrial Insurance as re-
quired by the state law.
Warren reported that action
was being taken to investigate
the possibility of past and pres

These conditions which have
been brought to light by the
firings should be repugnant to
any fairminded citizen and we
hope others will join in. help

human decency when they are

Warren said.

Application Filed for

Application for installation of a satellite translator station in the Kenai-Kasilof area, has been filed with the Federal Communi- cations Commission in Washington, D. C., it was announced recently by A. G. Hiebert, president of the Northern Television, Inc.
 The translator station will re- broadcast the CBS affiliate, KTVA-TV, In Anchorage, Alas ka, Hiebert said.
 The area to be served is in the heart of the rapidly growing oil and natural gas area on the Kenai Peninsula, which already has total of 31 wells producing over 17,000 barrels of oil per day.
 With the speed with which the FCC has been processing the ap- plications for translatorS, we are hopeful approval will be granted this summer, with construction to then start immediately, Hiebert added.
 Northern Television also has an authorization for a translator in the Delta Junction area, which in- completed will rebroadast KTVF- nv in Fairbanks, and another satellite now in operation in the Healy- ly-Suntrana-Usibelli area. This is also served by KTVF-TV in Fairbanks.

Marries the Girl Who Saved His Life

JERSEY CITY, N.J. R John Brodeur, who lost his right leg last August as a result of an at tack by a shark, has married the girl who pulled him to shore and stuck by him through his con- valescence.
 Brodeur, 25, and Jean Filormo, g, were married Friday in a simple double-ring ceremony.
 Last Aug. 21, the couple, who met in 1859, went swimming off the Jersey coast. Miss Filoramo had turned away for a moment when she heard a scream and saw Brodeur engufed in a pool of blood and frantically trying to free himself from the shark s clutches.
 Miss F'iloramo pulled Brodeur to shore and a passerby applied a tourniquet. But Brodeur'S leg had to be amputated week later.
