The Panthers girls of Washington High School are all smiles with a 32-28 triumph over the Marshall High School girls Tuesday night. Good team-work, plus Eloise Estes’s 14 points in scores, drove the girls to victory. The boys’ game started off with a bang and held to a tied score through three quarters. At ,the beginning of the fourth quarter, Washington was leading by one point, and* Coach Link was so nervous he was almost in a dancing, fit. But near the end ' of the quarter, Charles Scroggins * ah(l Winfrey Burke fouled out and Marshall went off with a’ 38-30 victory.

Others hunting but who failed to get in the picture were Earl Yancey and New bill Miller. —Photo Courtesy B. N. Eubank The Rappahannock Hunt met at Fletcher’s Double Gate for its annual New Year hunt on January 2. A grand field of 17 indicated that fox-hunting is still a popular pastime and one of the favorite sports brought over by pur forefathers from England. Jim Bill Fletcher, joint-master was in charge of the field, assisted by Colonel H. H. C. Richards and Jack DeBergh as the whips, and by Earl Yancey, huntsman. It was indeed a pleasure to see sp many Visitors and local friends who came out to hill-top, as we always welcome all hill-toppers. Earl Yancey cast the hounds - onto Fielding mountain and soon (the eager voice of a hound x indicated that Reynard had passed that way during -the nighty After some nice hound work, the pack broke into full cry which told everyone that the fox had been raised.* The line led across the fieldsr to a high hill top on the farm of ■Gene and Virginia Wood, where the changed cry of the hounds now said that Reynard had been marked to earth. Several hounds had switched onto the* line of another fok and were now heard in a nearby woods, so Earl quickly cast his other hounds in that direction. Soon all the hounds were running again as a pack, and the line led toward Fielding mountain where, after several circuits, it headed back across the fields and much to the surprise of everyone, the hounds marked Reynard to earth very close to where the first fox had found safety. The day was slid young and the field still in the mood for another ridffe, so we crossed the road and Earl "cast the hounds onto Mason mountain. The scenting was heavy, so the hounds soon raised Reynard No. 3, and Jack Bruce, who was riding down along the side of the mountain while the field waited on top, cried in an eager Voice, “Tally Ho!” indicating that he had viewed the fox. The field swiftly headed toward the hill top and soon viewed a beautiful red fox as he broke from covet and ran up a little valley between riders and hilltoppers, and the valley seemed, to rock with the many yells of “there he goes." The hounds were in close pursuit arid it was indeed a pretty picture to* see tj>e hounds sq close behind and running in the open.. Reynard evidently thought so, too, because he soon ran through several wire fences which proved somewhat of an obstacle for the hounds and gave him a chance to gain a safe lead. The line led over and around Mason mountain and down through the fields to the road, going by Rudacill’s Mill. The sly fox caused the hounds to check by running the road, and after the^fruitless casting of his hounds in every- direction, Earl announced that he though Reynard had outwitted the hounds. Most of the field headed in but as we were collecting the hounds, the voice of “Mabel,” who refused to give up, was heard on a distant hill. The other hounds quickly sped to help work out>t.ie now cold line. It was the prettiest picture of the day to watch the hounds seek out the tiniest scent of Reynard and cry accordingly and have the other hounds rush to that point to take up the line from there. The hounds worked down along the river and across the field to Red Oak mountain. The few of us remaining rode to the nearest hill top and watched and listened as we did not care to ride to the top of Red Oak—a test of the mettle of both a fresh horse and rider. The hounds soon increased their speed as the scent got better and we could See »and hear them running and climbifig over the rocky ledges of Red Oak. After several circuits around 'the mountain, the changed and triumph cry of "the pack indicated that the third fox of the day had been marked to earth high in the rocky cliffs of Red Oak. The sun was rapidly dipping toward the horizon, so we turned , back toward home with a'well^satisfied feeling of a good day’s hunt. As a side story, I have to relate that Colonel Richards' and Miss Doll Smith of Front Royal, unbeknownst to the field, had slipped off and followed the hounds to the top of Red Oak— certainly a tough ride, as we all know. They rode off after dark, and as all the trucks were gone, had to hack in to Washington. Actually, this was just a jaunt for the Colonel, for, after all, he did ride to Texas and back, but I am sure Miss Smith did not need rocking to sleep.—Jack DeBergh, Hon. Sec’y.

Culpeper V.F..W. basketball team gave the Rockets a shellacing of the first order at Culpeper Monday night. The Rockets were definitely not at their • best, and some opinions were to the notion that even at their top-notch performance there was doubt that they could have taken the V.F.W. team. The Rockets go to Front Royal tonight. No girls’ game is scheduled. Tomorrow night both boys’ and girls’ teams go to Woodstock. Coach Link will not be able to attend'these two, due to conflicting schedules with his sch4w> teams.

"The funds raised and-presented to the fire company at this time will be applied or i sed towards modernizing the company's present fire-fighting equipment. The sum of $1,VI0 is needed hat?iy at this present time with ,whic!i<* to purchase new fire hose J«> replace' the present hose, worn out’ ■ by constant - use -since the fire compsftiy organized in 1‘jix. ‘ ' - r-, SinOe its organization, throng.i the generous .assistance of the Culpeper Volunteer Fire Company, remarkable .ftpf-otfress has been made in paving for the present equipment, in spite of a few financial hips and downs.

Turner has served as secretary and treasurer of the company “since its organization, and D. C. Updike served as an assistant fire chief prior to D. Dr' Miller, the present assistant chief. These members of the fire company have been cajled out at all hours of the day and night, in rain, sleet, snow, and wind, to all parts of the 'county to answer fire calls. These services during the past 12 years have been given voluntarily by these firemen, with the consolation that they are rendering very necessary and worthwhile assistance to the citizens of the county. The insurance rate in the community has been cut since the fife company came into existanceand these rates may be further reduced through the contributions which are given at this time which will be used to modernize the .fire company’s equipment: Mrs. Gilbert Fincham Funeral services were held Friday, JanuaVy '20, from the Geest funeral chapel, for Mrs. Violet Leslie Fincham, wife of Gilbert Fincham of Woodville, who died at her home Wednesday, .January 18, after a long- and lingering illness.

Until her illness several years ago she was an active member of Woodville Baptist church. She was spoken of as a loving Christian mother whose influence for good was felt by all with whom she came in contact. She will be greatly missed by her family and those who knew and loved . her. Besides her husband, she is survived by three daughters, Mrs. Calvin McCloud of Boston, Mrs. Oscar Coughlin of Woodville, ami Miss Rebecca Fincham of Woodville; two sons.

Member of Weaker Sex Kills Strong Opponent Mrs. Susie Pullen now qualifies on a par with the powerful Katrinka. She killed ^ them both— the skunk and the rooster—with one clean shot. It seems that something was disturbing her chickens on a dark, rainy night. Armed with a flashlight and her trusty gun, she approached the chicken house. She found Mr. Skunk and Mr. Rooster in a terrific battle. Mrs. Pullen put down the light and picked up her gun. She fired. One shot killed both skunk and rooster. Mrs. Pullen has not been heard to state as to who actually won. However, it is safe to say that Mrs. Pullen is a braVe woman and walking proof that the ‘‘weaker^ seS* is not lacking in cour. »e.

Rappahannock News Published Thursday Morning at Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia Dial Washington 2851 LUCY CATHERINE BOWIE Publisher. Application for entry as secondclass matter is pending. Subscription: $2.00 a year Impossible?—No. Let’s see if some definite statements can be made as to why and what-for Rappahannock wants the telephone business arranged so that everyone can call tollfree to any other person within the boundary limits of the county If some definite statements are made, then there can be a starting place for discussion and planning. The need for such telephone service is explained in one way: Rappahannock is a small county, handicapped with geographical separations which the 'citizens realize and they are searching for the quickest and most effective way to surmount them. There is not now, and never has been, complaint of the telephones. You might say that it is flattering to the telephone to say that the people recognize the power held in the communication system. In the search for a medium to join the county together to strengthen it, the first turn was to the telephone, for 'By it man can talk to his neighbor and can remain in contact with him despite any geographical boundary or weather condition. Those ’Ore items of import in a rural community such a- Rappahannock county. , " iiu Miuwjnj^r ui UiMJtTstanding of tin- winkings of the telephone system, o n e cannot make a suggestion to any company as to the mechanical workings to make the request possible. We see telephone pole* and wires about, but we make no pretense at any knowledge of the mechanical organization. We don't -know how to make the' change, but. we know that it will be a help to Rappahannock county to have the adjustment made. There is no such word as “irfipossible.” .Our forefathers did the impossible—in fact, the telephone itself was called “impossible,” and there is still the -feeling that some arrangement can },e made whereby Rappahannock can be relieved of the (iis-joined comm unication. Perhaps no such request has been made of the telephone company prior to this time. Perhaps there is no other community with our particular problem. All that .s relatively unimportant to the county. The fact remains that this toll-free telephone will lie a force for the good of the county as a whole, and no stone will be .eft unturned to see that we get it. It Can’t Be True! A friend across the road tells me startling news. The story’s long, if you have to give the contents of a full page advertisement which appeared in one of Washington, 1). C.'s dailies Monday.—ft- -concerns the - -s-h+pplng - problems^of a certain company in waters 21 miles out from Nationalistic China. The startling part of the news tomes when my friend informs me that the government owns a shipping line which carries passengers and freight. That can t he true, 1 remonstrate, for that would he against private enterprise,-and, sir, that’s contrary to America. Read of the fight our forefathers put up in. order to have this nation free for a man to enter business, meet competition, and ear n his lit ing ther eby, protected by the government— •not in competition to the place where his taxes; would pay for Automobile Inspection Prevents Accidents “Retain the '-present motor vehicle inspection program and strengthen the Division of Motor Vehicle’s procedure for hearing's directed towards the revocation or suspension of the licenses of accident-prone, consistently illegal, or otherwise unsafe drivers’, were the two main recommendations brought forward at a recent meeting of the Executive Committee of the Governor’s Highway Safety Committee, according to information received from Col. C. W. Woodson, Jr., Superintendent - of State Police and Committee Chairman. The Executive Committee,-composed of Col. Woodson, Gen. James A. Anderson, State Highway Commissioner, and C. F. Joyner, Jr., Commissioner of Motor Vehicles, pointed out that even with a program of inspection rated equal to any in the nation, seven percent of the vehicles involved in accidents are mechanically unsafe, hut that this rate is well below the national average. In addition, the Committee felt that many drivers who stay without the bounds of mandatory revocation or suspension as defined by the Motor Vehicle Code show long records of accidents and arrests or any physically incapable of proper driving and therefore present hazards which should be eliminated or corrected-. Other recommendations • were the distribution of short safety films suitable for theatres, an increase in the use of billboards for safety publicity and the preparation of a suitable safety emblem for use on the automobiles of local safety council members throughout Virginia. Captain W. L. Groth, State Police Safety Engineer, is in charge of the administration of the Committee’s action program. Socialized Medicine One of the most important issues before Congress is that which attempts to socialize medicine- in America. Future of this particular hill will effect every' citizen i-rv- this rommuiwty. More information on socializing medicine .will be given by William J. Bird, national affairs ad\ isor, Chamber of Commerce of the United States, in the fifth of eight weekly broadcasts, to be presented . at 7:1b o’clock Tuesday by the Culpeper Chamber of Commerce over radio station WCVA. Using tWb subject, ‘‘Shall We Socialize Medicine?'” Mr. . Bird will discuss some of the arguments for and again-t" this proposal-. He will compare some of the medical conditions in this country, with those in other countries, and will present factual. infoimation on whether or not socialized medicine would he a benefit to Americans. This program is being presented by the Culpeper- Chamber of Commerce in the interest of better government through better citizenship. ■> the loss of his “governmenj competitor." Please^ someone!

Do You Want To Cut Your Fodoral Taxes? Slash Government Cost If your personal or business expenses go up and your income and efficiency come down this year at the same rate as that of the Federal Government, you will be in the hands of the sheriff at an early date. Workers, farmers, and businessmen from Maine to California know this. The answer is in the Report of the Commission on the Organisation of the Executive Branch of the Federal Government. This twelve-man, bi-partisan Commission was unanimously created by Congress with the approval of the President At the suggestion of Mr. Truman, former President Hoover was made its Chairman and Secretary of State Dean Acheson, Vice Chairman. The late president Franklin D. Roosevelt long had advocated such a reorganisation of the government. ) There is a two-fold purpose behind the effort to reorganise the Executive Branch of the Government: One—the elimination of inefficiency caused by overlapping and duplication; two—this should lead to a reduction of your taxes. If our Government can save from three to four billion dollars s year by more efficient methods of conducting our business, failure to act in utimiH ahnrt-nio'ht^dnefsR. Action, however, depend# upon the President and Congress.- The President has already submitted a number of reorganization recommendations. The Congress has adopted several of these,.most important having to do with the housekeeping of the armed forces, which save the taxpayer more than $500,000,000 a year. But these are only first steps. There will he more ahead if Congress is made to realize Mr. and Mrs. Taxpayer want more' tax-saving economies1. Congressmen and Senators will vote for just so many of the Commission's recommendation as you, their consfituents, demand. ■>What can you, as an individual, do about it? The answer is to write your Congressman and Senators. 'Tell them you want the Recommendations of the Commission on the Organization of the Executive Branch of the Federal Government made the law of the land. Join the non-partisan Citizens Committee set up to obtain the necessaryaction to make the Commission’s report work.. Write to the Citizens Committee for Reorganization of the Executive Branch-of the Government, 1421 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia 2, Pennslyvama. for more information about the Commission Report. Tell your neighbors about it. Make speeches! Make your representatives in Washington act—now! Appetite Or Digestion? When a member of a prominent church in England told the minister that he would have to be excused from attending evening service on Sunday on the ground that he was able to digest only v.ne good sermon a day, the dominie remarked: "I suspect that it is the appetite which is at fault rather than the digestion.” Which leads me to remember another statement I read a few days ago—a question. It ran like this: ‘‘Who filled your place at church last Sunday?” This matter of chu.cn attend_a.nce is—something— a! such—dras- . tic transition as this particular day presents. 1 com.' upon people now and then who stoutly undertake to defend themselves with reference to churc/i attendance. I do not raise the question. They raise it. They seem to Ire greatly embarrassed that they are having to defend themselves. There are some people who can’t attend church. Everybody that knows anything about their circumstances understands why they can’t attend church: No defense is needed. Most people who do rot attend churcTi have no valid teason, and everybody that knows them understands that they have no valid -reason. M. E.

This article will be about another fine personality, who has lived her entire life in the county. She was born in the county seat, Washington, spending a part of her young life there, later nio\ing to Sperryyille. She married a fine young man who was reared in Spertyville. They were blessed with two lovely children, a boy and girl. While the children were very young, the husband died and the responsibility of rearing those children was left to her. Not too long after the father died, God in His wisdom saw fit to take from her this beautiful curly headed son. The sorrow was great, but with her w'orlderful 'Christian courage, she struggled on to make a home and a living for her dear daughter, her aged mother and herself.

Bird, national affairs advisor. Chamber of Commerce of the United States, in a radio broadcast Tuesday night urged local citizens to make government effiency more popular. In the fourth of a series of eight radio broadcasts sponsored by the Culpeper Chamber of Commerce in co-operation with the Chamber of Commerce of the ■United Stater, Bird said there were $18 awaiting every American man, woman, and child, if recommendations of the Hoover Commission would be effected. Calling for support of the Hoover Commission recommendations to save an approximate $4-billion of the American taxpayers* money, Bird said that about 2%-billions of dollars could be saved through the commission recommendations. “As you know, there have been a lot of complaints in recent years about this big, entangled, octopus-like government of ours.. About the duplication and overlapping that have come about as our government has grown in size and cost, year after year. “In 194 7, Congress and the President decided 'it was high time for reform. They agreed that unless something could be done in the very near future to rrtaket the goiefnment more efficient and economical,! that government would soon become so enormous that ihe job of streamlining would become impossible,” he said. “So a commission of 12 members was appointed by the President and the leaders of Congress to work out a plan of reorganization. The members included six Democrats and six Republicans. There was no tinge of politics in their selection. These men worked tirelessly for nearly two years, digging into every section of the executive branch of the government—f r o m the White House on down,” he explained. ‘‘It is amazing but true,” he said, “the Hoover Commission fouml that the Navy cannot even tell how much it costs to run a ship. “The Navy hospital, just outside Washington, gets its money from 12 different Navy. sources, including the Bureau of Ships; the bureau of ordnance; the bureau of supplies and accounts; and the bureau of medicine and surgery. Yet nowhere in the budget is the total cost of operating this or any other Navy hospital shown. “The Commission also found that at the same time the Veterans Administration was demanding 38,000 more hospitaj beds at an additional cost of 280milBon of our tax dollars, there was a bij? surplus of beds in other government hospitals. In fact, as of June 30, 1948, the government had beds for 255,000 patients, but only 155,000 patients on hand, and they had only enough doctors to treat 120,000 patien^ Calling on all citizens to Urge adoption of some of these moneysaving recommendations, Bird said citizens should tell their Congressmen that they want their support in “saving the poor taxpayer a few dollars.” Saying that it is the average wage earner that pays the bills of government, he urged all citizens to make econoifiy in government politically popular.

HELEN ZINN Citizenship (by Helen Zinn) Your citizenship includes your way of doing and expressing things. Can you answer “yes” to these questions? Are my manners good or even among the 'better? Am I dependable? Can I he placed on my honor? Can the teacher leave the room and feel secure that I won’t cheat? Jist ask yourself these the next time you get a U on citizenship. If you can answer yes truthfully you can be sure you won t get any U’s. An important part of your citizenship grades are manners. Manners are the way in which yon conduct’ yourself. Did you Mever stop” to think about running through the halls, pushing by ’ everyone, even the teachers and not as much as stopping to ask them to excuse you. As being _ impolite and that the person you run into puts down a mark “ against your conduct, maybe this doesn’t seem bad, but would’.you tjjink lightly of someone who ran into you and didn’t ask to be excused. If you were a teacher would you appreciate anyone that gets • jnto your.papers and takes apples from your desk? After all, the desk belongs to the teacher, so hands off! Have you ever felt that your neighbor should study if he wants to pass, instead of getting you in trouble by asking you the answers. Turn it around, how do you think the neighbors think about you? That’s cheating, maybe in the mild form, but it’s cheating just the same. The next itme you get a U on citizenship, let’s have no groan• ing* or moaning, you deserve it. Junior News (by Eloise E*te») Last Friday was a great day for the junior class. We were visiting Mr. Link's office to purchase our class rings. Then we learned that our pictures had come and it was a sight to see and hear the class discussing the outcome of the pictures. The “jolly juniors” were also exchanging pictures with one another. We are glad to see our classmate, Lois Walter back after several days absence due to illness.

We are indeed shocked to discover the condition to which >ve have driven them—Miss Owen comes forth with- the statement, “0, I’d love to play, but nvy ulcers wouldn’t stand for it.,'.’ And. Mrs. Burford flatly answers “No, my blood pressure, you know.” But simply the last straw is Mrs. Corbin's feeble reply, ou don’t know the joy it wo. Id bring into my life, my dear. I’m so old and decrepit . . . No. We haven’t and won’t give up. Maybe there are still left a fe wold souls who can leave their rockingchairs and canes behind to take on the anxiously waiting Panthers. Senior News H (by Lois Uti) The seniors are beginning their last semester with high hope and a sigh of relief after the midterm exams. This semester holds many exciting adventures. Mr. Link's Gov. class has been promised a trip to Washington, D. C., where we are planning on visiting many government buildings. This will not only be very educational, but a great pleasure to those who have not had the opportunity to tour our national capital before. Also in store for the 1950 seniors is the annual picnic given them by the Junior class. We seniors have had great excitement upon the arrival of the pictures and are wondering if we really look like “dignified” seniors. We are looking forward to our Senior Play, which we will strive to make a big success. “Humor In Verse” Attend your church, the parson cries, >' To church each fair one goes; The old go there to close their eyes The young: to eye their clothes. ¥ ¥ ¥ ’Tis better to have loved and lost Than wed and be forever bossed. ¥ ¥ ¥ my tVpust is on Hor vacution, my Trypist’s away for a week, my TYPust us in her vscarion while THSE daRn kews play hude and seej ¥ ¥ ¥ A pair in a hammock Attempted to kiss And in less than jiffy su(} o>(![ papuej ¥ ¥ ¥ “The saddest words of tongue or pen, Why did I marry that old hen?” iimiiiitimmiiiMitimmmiiiCimiimmiMitmi imioiiiiimirjiiimiiiMiHiiimimiiuiimiii STOP AT YOUR ATLANTIC DEALER F6k Petroleum products For Complete Fuel Oil Service— No. 2 FUEL OIL — No. 1 FUEL OIL ATLANTIC RAYOLITE KEROSENE Write or Telephone L.

Last year there were more cases of infantile paralysis than ever in history. We know this is a worthy cause and any contributions will be greatly appreciated. This drive was started by President Roosevelt, who said, “Nothing is closer to my heart than the health of our boys and girls, and young men and young women of today.” This is the way we feel at WHS. Stop! Look! Read! Have you visited the Library lately?

Sperryville-1; Panthers-1 January 20: The day of exciting tension. There were whispers all over the school. Who would win?- That was a big question, for no one really knew. Yes, the big day was finally here when the Panthers would meet Sperryville again. 7 p.m.: The auditorium was packed with people supporting both teams. 7:30 p.m.: the whistle blew for the starting of the girls' game. Every tiling was quiet. The ball ^ thrown in to Washington. Sperryville fouled. A free shot was made and tin; enthusiastic crowd went wild. First one team was ahead, then the other, but the last few minutes of the game, Sperryville girls got a trememlois spurt of energy and ended the game} with a victory of 41-32. Barbara Brown of the Sperryville ,te5rtk showed outstanding skill by *Sroring 18 points. Feeling very down-hearted, the Panther girls came hack into the auditorium to cheer"their boys on victory.' They found that their hopes ..were not in vain, for Edwin Scroggins greatly encouraged them by scoring 25 points. Fyial!y the Panther Midgets came in and finished -the game with 5218. TOO MUCH FREEDOM (By Angelo Patri) A generation ago. teacherlearned that discipline could lie too severe, and that when this was the case, children did not prosper nor thrive. Instead, they drooped-, became retiring and self-gentered, and cultivated resentment arid hurt feelings that culminated, in rebellion. Therefore, teachers loosened things up a bit so that a child might feel free to speak, to laugh and to be a bit more natural. To go the whole yvay once started; is a human characteristic,, and many wjell-meaning people loosened discipline to a point where the child was allowed to go his own way, do whatever came to his mind at the time, without restriction. This resulted in trouble for children and«thejir parents. The children felt aloneand they resented the aloneness as they had resented the oversupervision. The results were not pood. •» Always the golden mean is the best way in life. Children need to feel the strength of authority supporting them. They need .-to feel that their fathers and mothers have a keen personal interest in all they do. They need direction and they need control. They are children and all that toe word implies. Barbara was invited to a birthday party given after school foi a school friend. She had been Bower giil at a wedding a month before and loved the pretty dress she had worn. "I'll wear my wedding dre-s,” she said. "Vo.: want t > wear that? Isn’t i! a very sine pie party? Won't the other children be in their school clothes?” her-mother asked. "I don’t care. I'm going to wear it, she said, and she did. She looked very much out of place and the other, children did not hesitate to say so, being at the outspoken age of 10 years. Somebody spilled cocoa on her lap and slie Caught a frill on the door latch. The games were a bit rompish and the dress £ot decidedly the worst of it. When she reached home she burst into tears demanding, “Why did you let me wear it?” There is a good bit of nonsense talked about, freedom. Nobody is free to act for himself alone, to do as he wants, following his whims. The only freedom worth while, the only sort that will not destroy its possessor is freedom under the law. Children need guidance and control. These are gradually lessened as the children grow in responsibility, and reason for them is that they free the child from helplessness, ignorance and error. Ifnti! he proves himself a responsible- person he requires some degree of supervision. NEW BEDDING Bedsprings a n-d mattresses should be a combination purchase. If a mattress is combined with the wrong type of bedspring, it will never give completely satisfactory service. Before buying new 'bedding it is wise to check with the bedding salesman or other authority on sleep equipment to make sure of getting the proper “two-some.” LAi ♦ 1 y s ; ! i 1 ♦ f ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ We have client* interested in acquiring horse and cattle farms, large or small; also orchard property and country estates; and we are always glad to receive ' new listings.

Here's a special suggestion for Sunday night supper or for a luncheon menu. Its pan fried ham sandwiches. Place a slice of boiled ham between two % ?"es of bread and fasten with pieces of toothpicks. Then dip tile sandwich into a mixture of egg and milk: Use 2 eggs to about \ c p mill?. Pan fry the sandwiches in a little fat until they’re golden brown. Then, with the sandwiches, serve soup anil eeleiy curls, a fresh fruit salad and sugar cookies. For the sake of economy' don't throw left over coffee away. It is excellent as the liquid for making chocolate pudding ... it gives a new flavor to an old dish and it’s readily usable in cakes, icings, and cookies. The important point to remember about deep fat frying is to keep the temperature at c"en and correct heat. When comparatively cold food is dropped into the fat., it tends to cool off th,_> fat slightly. Therefore a deep fat thermometer is helpful. Correct temperature will help overcome the wasting of food and fat. Fat that gets top hot can’t be used more than once or twice . . . but if heated to the right point it can be strained and stored in a cool place to be used many times. revolutionary drink The word “cocktail” is said to have originated during the American Revolution from the habit of a barmaid in Elmsford, N. Y., who deepyated her glasses with the tail feathers of fowl. Be careful with your electric iron. Electric irons left connected cause over a third of all fires attributed t i electric wiring and equipment. An iron with an automatic control to prevent overheating will reduce this hazard.

But in some instances the instructions on the bottle specifically state otherwise. However, even in those cases where we are free to re-fill your prescription, you are well advised to consult your physician first. He knows whether the proportion of ingredients is suited to your present condition, or whether that proportion should be changed. This is the safest procedure to follow—especially when having medicine re-filled that was prescribed for a previous illness. : miiiiiiiniimmiiiiiiHimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiimmmiiniHtiimiiimiiimiiiiiiiili 7 - our suits this Spring have that soft new look and they're labeled for tomorrow #( \ tagged for today \ ^ Printzess picks all the newest fashion points this Spring . . . the soft rolled collar, the slim, slim skirt ... * combines them deftly with enduring styling.

Bridgforth, State PMA Chairman, said this week. He likewise added that the same closing date applies to price support programs for 1949-crop oats, rye, barley, and soybeans. On the 1948 crop, loans and purchase agreements were available only through December 31, 1948, but the price support period w;as extended .thro.gh January this year to give farmers greater protection and market stability. The lengthening of price support availability also enables farmers to paply the proceeds of their 1949 crop price support and sales on 1950 income taxes, since most farmers are on an annual rather than accrual income tax basis. Loans on small grains of the 1949 crop mature on April 30, 1950, or earlier if CCC demands. Loans on 1949-crop soybeans mature May 31, 13543. Farmers holding crops under purchase agreements, who intend to deliver to the Commodity Credit Corporation, must file their iif<entions with the local PM A county ofTice within a 30-day period prior to the maturity date for loans. B’idgforth noted that both loans and purchase agreements on 1949 corn will continue to be available through March 31, 1950.

Unusually severe damage has been reported by farmers in Virginia—particularly» in the section around Charlotte Courthouse. This is what to do, says John Amos, entomologist at VPI. Clean out storage places. Beat out and hang up hags in which grain, meal, etc., are to be stored. You’ll find mealworm populations on the decrease. A clean-up campaign in . storage places is good control for all insects. If you still have trouble— spray with DDT. New Insecticides For Parasite Control Two new insecticides — toxaphene and lindane—now are recommended by insect control specialists of the U. S. Department of Agriculture for controlling some of the most serious parasites on livestock. Toxaphene is recommended for control of ticks, lice, hornflies, and sheep ticks on all livestock except dairy cows. To control ticks and lice on cattle and swine, use sprays containing 5/10 percent toxaphene. Hornflies are conl-olloH nearly as well with sprays containing toxaphene as those containing DDT. Toxaphene will protect animals from reinfestation by ticks for two to three weeks or longer. Lindane is recommended as a spray for controlling lice on da?ry cows, and for control of lice and ticks on other cattle. Lindane was recommended for the first time last summer as a residual spray against flies in dairy barns and milk plants. Livestock owners are cautioned to use both of the chemicals carefully. Nutrition School Scheduled At VPI The annual 'nutrition school for feed manufacturers, dealers, and salesmen will be held at VPI February 22-24, Paul M. Reaves, of the dairy department staff, and chairman of the nutrition school committee, announces. Among the topics to be discussed are new developments in animal nutrition, and the value of certain new feeds on the market. Speakers scheduled for the three-day session include: Dr. P. R. Record, Security Mills, Knoxville, Tenn.; Dr. C. 1). Caskey, Cooperative Mills, Baltimore. Md.; Dr. J. E. Hunter, Allied Mills, Libertyville, 111.; Dr. John C. Hammond, Newton and Son Company, Bridgeville, Del.; Dr. R. T. Parkhurst, Lindsey-Robinson C’o., Roanoke; Dr. Victor lleiman, Kasco Mills, Waverly, N. Y.; and Professor Holdaway, Dr. Clayton Holmes, George C. Herring, X. R. Thompson, Glen Pursley, and Reaves, of the VPI staff. Other features of the school will be tours of the college barns and poultry plant, and open forums on “How Can the Newer Findings in Nutrition be Applied _in Making Feed . Form las," and 'on “What Is The Nutritional Value of Certain New Feeds on the Market.” Apple Tree Population On Decline In Virginia Virginia's apple tree population is declining. A. H. Teske, Extension Service fruit specialist at VPI, says the number of apple trees in the State h; s decrea.fd 25 to 30 percent or the last 15 years, and probably will fall another 2i> percent in the next 10 years. Teske says the marked deei ease in the number of apple trees is caused by many old orchards and too little replanting. Production has not fallen off at a pace to match the decrease in tree numbers, b.t continued decline in the number of trees will seriously affect the State’s apple income. . „ a Also affected will be income from related storage and processing industries. The Piedmont, with its heavy Winesap production and general ]y low yields, has had the biggest drop of any section of the State. Too many old trees there are of a single variety, which prevents adequate cross-pollination Albemarle. Nelson, and Amherst have had ‘'tremendous” drops, and Shenandoah, Kredeii k and Fauquier also have had in ark - ed decreases, Teske said. Many experts believe growcs are going to have to put out more plantings on proper sites, and wit.i enough varieties to insure adequate pollination. At the present time, none of* Virginia’s top varieties will set a crop with their own pollen. THORNTON GAP SERVICES Elder Russell H. Thompson of Washington, D.

Tlie program allows farmers to get additional assistance in establishing pastares, over and above their regular farm allotment. Culpeper county lias set a maximum of five’ acres and Rappahannock 10 acjres for each land owner. Nearly every farm in the Culpeper Soil Conservation District can improve the quality of their grazing lands and thus increase the number of anitjtals that may he grazed on the land. Lieut. Sam A. Hill, Slate Mills, and W elch Brothers, owners of Mt. View farm, Flint Hill, havo developed complete farm plans for soil and water conservation. Both farms are being developed as beef cattle uni s, stressing the production of higi quality bay and pastures an I minimizing corn and small grains. B >t i farms arc quite steep and are not well adapted for the production of corn ami other depleting crops. However, the soil types on both are very desirable, lending themselves well for grass farming. The young robin eats more than its own weight in food every day.
