Fish Hogs Caught On Saturday, May 6, Park Ran* gers apprehended two men, residents of Albemarle county, with 67 native trout in their possession. The fish were caught in the headwaters of one of the streams on the west side of Shenandoah National Park,, and ranged in size from 3 to 10 inches. The National Park Service under its policy is attempting to develop sustained good sport fishing throughout the season. The fisheries biologist now working in the Park reports excellent conditions on the streams he has studied so far. However, willful disregard of laws and vandalism, such as were displayed by these two local residents, will defeat any pr<n gram devised. The men were taken before the United States Commissioner who fined one of them $300 and the other $100. They were placed on two years' probation and their equipment was confiscated. MRS. GEORGE L.

Judge J. Lindsay Almond, Jr., Attorney General of Virginia, accepted the portraits'for the State and • appointed Colonel C. W. Woodson, Jr., Superintendent of State Police, as custodian. During the exercises it was emphasized that every citizen of the State is urged to visit the Memorial Art Gallery at Virginia State Police Headquarters, second floor. The group of 15 canvases, 14 portraits, and one symbolic canvas, represents the only memorial of its kind in the United States. Virginia is the first state to thus recognize these Inspectors add State Troopers who have given their lives in the line of duty. All the portraits are the work of Virginia artists. The portrait of Trooper Charles B. Bullock, killed in line of duty near Fairfax in 1354, is the work of Elizabeth Nottingham Day, daughter of Mr. , and Mrs. E. J. Nottingham, Jr., of Culpeper, at present with the art department of Mary Baldwin college. Twelve of the portraits had been accepted- by the State at a previous service, and the three presented Friday were portraits of Sergeant Clarence L e m u e 1 Maynard, andi Inspector Phillip C. Via, and a symbolic canvas for Inspector W. Neville Hatcher. The symbolic csmus of Inspector Hatcher serves in place of a portrait, for no picture of Mm could be located. The canvas shows a shield, bearing the inscription "Imago Eius -Nobis Non Eat Sed Memoria Numquam Peribit," and beneath the shield is the Inspector's hat and badge and his Sam Browne belt. Inspector Hatcher was the first officer to be killed "in the line of duty” in the Department's history. W. Neville Hatcher eras born ^ in Fauquier county. May 1, 1962 and was employed as an Inspector 5 for the Virginia Highway Patrol, antecedent of the Department of State Police, on June 18, 1928.

Rappahannock News Published Thursday Morning at f, Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia Dial Washington 2851 LUCY CATHERINE BOWIE Publisher - Entered as second-class mail matter at' the post office at Washington, Virginia. Subscription:_$2.00 a year Too Late To Classify By Rhm*1I Kay—(From the Crotcoat City, Flo., Journal) Standing on the fringe of the crowd while Claude Pepper waa making a speech in which be prom* ised more money for the old folks, more pay for labor, new hospitals and free medical care for the sick, more schools, more roads, and unlimited prosperity, I over* heard a farmer ask a friend where ' he was going to get the money. "Why," his friend replied, “he’s gonna get it from big business, from the Wall Street crowd and . the bankers, the filthy rich.*’ "Oh," said the fanner, “that’s all right, I was afraid he was gonna tax ufc for it.” This is a typical example of the thinking a lot of folks practice. They think of themselves as the “poor working man,” the "little man” and assume that money for government comes from the socalled rich, the corporations, the banks and industry. They do not realise that as citizens of the United States they are - hea’ily in debt now and going deeper in debt every day. They do not realise that all of the socalled socialistic blessings of government are costing them plenty. If you walked up to that farmer who thought it was tall right to tax big business for more-money for government spenders and tried to show him that he is the poor sap who is going to pay -for it, be would call you a liar. • Yet that poor dumb cluck, -if he still has a dollar bill in his pocket has a piece of paper that is only worth in actual buying power about 80 cents. If govern-, ment expenditures continue - at their present rate and Mr. Pepper brings all the blessings he so glibly talks about, that dollar will buy much less. Everything that farmer buys is taxed. Business, big and little, passes the tax on to the customer. It has to or it could not' stay id __ business. His clothes, his food,' everything -Kte” buys is taxied arid' taxed and taxed and- as a con-' sumer he pays he tax. Congress, ’if it were to go stark staring mad, and it might, could pass a law giving the old folks 8500 a month, provide free medical care and hospitalization for every bodv and raise waecg to tSan hour for common labor/ Fine you say. That would be wonderful. ••••• ' All right. When that happens the old folks f500 per lriorith’ wouldn’t buy as much as f 50 buys today. The laborer’s |5 per hour ; wouldn’t feed or clothe his family half as well as a dollar an' hour does today. We would all be far worse off, and with the nation bankrupt the "working man” and" W1C iivwr euJ WVU1U W blic greatest sufferers. You have only to' study your history to see what happened to other countries, and if inflation hits us wfe will go “bust” just as other nations have. In England today goods and services cost so much the “little'- guy” can’t afford them; ‘ in • the Russia that Claude loves so welh- the “little guy” is a slave of big government. Under the “Fair Deal” plan and the FEPC the colored man thinks he would be better off. He gloats over pictures of “his Senator” with Paul Robeson and imagines that laws can win him “equality.” He has been' told that under the FEPC no employer would refuse him employment because of his color or race. He does not stop to think that such a law works both ways and by the same token no employer could refuse employment to a white man because he was white. The Negro might try to invoke the law, but if the em. ployer hired him in preference to a white man and the white man goes to court and says they gave my job to a Negro, who do you think would get the job? Instead of protecting the Negro in hard * times, it would mean that thousands of Negroes would be replaced by the white'men. Remember the law must work both ways. Labor leaders, the big boys •‘Who collect dues and make assessments are trying to. tell the rank and file that their salvation lies in more money, less working hours, old age pensions, and they endorse Pepper as the man who can bring all this About. Since Hie Senator delights in quoting Hie scriptures, it might be well to remind him that the •Good Book says, “Han shall earn bis bread by the sweat of hie brow.” Unlew we produce, either ae an individual or a nation, we cannot survive. We can produce What Your Welfare f Department Do— . ' - - By: Mr*. Elisabeth B«*t«« la th« past few article* which Rappahannock News has so kindly published for me 1 have spoken mostly about the Old Age Assistance program and said very little about the other kinds of public assistance rendered by local welfare departments. This is perhaps appropriate, as this welfare department has more OAA cases than any other kind; however, today I want to say something about the other programs and services. Perhaps it would be safe to say that we spend the best part of our time administering the federal programs — Old Age Assistance, Aid to Dependent Children, and Aid to the Blind. By federal programs we mean that the' federal government gives money to the states to help them carry out the programs. Of course state and local funds are involved too, bat the federal government appropriates more than either the state or local government to these three pro grams. Requirement* for Old Ace Assistance are that the applicant he at least sixty-five years of age, have been a resident of the state for one year, and be in need. He must take the responsibility of proving these things and if he, has grown children, to prov e that, they are not financially able to help him. If he owns property, be must agree to the welfare department’s placing a lein against it at his death or the death of his surviving spouse for the amount of assistance rendered him during his lifetime. This regulation is based on the thinking that property is a resource which the needy person can tap if he needs money. Often an applicant will say that he cannot agree to a lein because be wants the property to go to his children when he passes on. In such cases the local welfare board generally feels that since the children will inherit, then it is. their duty to help their parents in return. The OAA applicant must not be living in a public institution and must not have transferred property within the last five years in order to become eligible. Aid to Dependent Children provides financial assistance and anyother help necessary for making or keeping a home for the children under the care of a parent or close relative. To be eligible a child must be under 16 years of age or under 18 years of age if regularly attending school, must have lived -in the state for 12. consecutive months immediately prior to ap• plication, or if the child is. under • onOt year of age, his mother must have lived in -the state for twelve consecutive ^months prior to his birth. The child must be Jiving in the- home of a person of close relationship, must-be deprived of parental support or care because of a parent’s death, a parent’s continued absence from home, or a parent’s physical “Or mental incapacity. The ehild, must qlso be^ in need of public assistance. Air to the Blind is a program for helping needy blind people. A person is eligible for this help * if he has, with correcting glasses, 20/200 vision or less in the better eye; has continuously resided in Virginia for one year immediately preceding the date of hih application ; is needy; and is not being maintained by any public institution at the time of receiving aid to the blind. He must not have -transferred any property within . the last five years in order to be Besides helping the needy aged ‘ and blind, and dependent children, we help a few people who are so physically or mentally disabled that they are unemployable. These we call General Relief cases because of the type of funds, we use to help them. General Relief funds are made up of state and local money. GR money can also be used for burials, emergency medical care, and aid to transients. Our Foster Care program provides homes for children, who for various reasons must be cared ■for outside their own homes. Sometimes parents are no longer able to care for their children and entrust them to the welfare department; sometimes the home situation gets so had that the Juvenile Court commits the children to the fustody of the local welfare board, which then places them in homes. Foster care covers boarding care, free home and wage home placements, and adoptive home . placements. Finding the right kind of homes for children is just the beginning; like your children and mine they need constant attention. •Then we have a large group of ■What we call Service cases, which we try to help in ways other than as free men or as slaves but brother we will produce and don’t ever forget that. America is at the crols-roads. We can keep our feet on . the ground, reduce cost of government, stabilise our curmecy, increase our production and go forward or we can chopse the “welfare state’’ with its false promis**» its glamour and glitter and find out too late that we have sold our birthright for a moss of pet***• * . • ' ■ " I Thm Timm Hum ; tk« w«b-». . ,..,• 'ivV .. J*#vv*: K. - Sunday is Mother’s Day and each of us feels like the young lady who left her native Virginia to visit in another state: “Don’t ask anyone where he’s from. If "he’s from Virginia, you’ll know it; and if he isn’t, don’t embarrass him.:” My mother is the finest and best mother in the world and I hate to embarrass anyone else by a discussion of Mother’s Day. My mother seemed a little shocked once when I said I wasn’t sure I approved of Mother’s Day. A true mother gets all the credit and appreciation she deserves when she’s earned it; and if she hasn’t earned it, all the deceitful slobbering is disgusting. It is pathetic when you think of how many people do not have a mother as wonderful as your own. Your pity for those less fortunate than yourself renews the belief that Mother’s Day should be observed the other 364 days as well as the second Sunday in May. Cat oat your paper-dolls in peace and in public. Indulge in any idiosyncrasy that strikes your fancy. (There are other people crazier than you.) According to the papers, a man in Chicago, (Charles Beasley, a radio engineer) has invented a fog-horn to help those who suffer from insomnia. The inventor says the device is guaranteed to put you to sleep if you’re in the right frame of mind. (So ‘‘mind” is a prerequisite. Knew that was a catch in it somewhere.) He invented it for his wife, but it worked so well he made more models and sold * them to business men who had trouble sleeping. The apparatus looks like an inter-communication box. It is ten , inches high, has a six-inch speaker and can be plugged into any wall socket. It makes a noise resembling a fog-horn, only softer and more monotonous. "Most people can’t sleep because they get started on a certain train of thought and can’t stop, the inventor explains.. "But the ‘slumberhug’ keeps' interrupting the thoughts and jumbling them up until all you can do is go to sleep.” , ' • Brings to mind the story of the mother’s opinion of .the father’s singing the baby-to sleep: “The poor thing went to sleep to get rid of the noise.” « * * Another inventor of the day, a* —--a.. . by. giving financial assistance. . Some-of this work is with children in their own homes, for their protection because1 of .neglect or because of behavior problems. Other services to children include arranging for commissions on feebleminded children; commitment, upon our petition, by the -Joveiule-jQourt—to -the—State—Be partment and Institutions; work with children who have been placed on probation to the local welfare board by the Juvenile Court; and work with parolees from .the State Department. The’se parolees have previously been committed for - delinquency and have been either in boarding homes or in the industrial trainings schools. Upon their return to the county we try to help them readjust to their homes and the community. The welfare department cooperates closely with the local court, and provides such services as making prehearing studies on juvenile and domestic' relations cases upon the request of the judge, providing temporary care for children pending hearing and disposition by the judge, and, as mentioned above, supervising children committed to the local welfare department by the court. The State-Local Hospitalization program is still another ser ice. The superintendent acts as agdnt for the county Board of Supervisors, verifying medical indigency of persons applying for hospitalization under this program. A service record is kept on each person who applies. Besides arranging for hospitalization the welfare office makes arrangements for commitn)ents\tp. mental hospitals, obtains social histories for medical clipics and mental hospitals. -ft In connection with providing medical care we do a certain amount of transportation work in getting both our clients and other indigent people to hospitals and' clinics. There are several crippled children whom we take to the clinic in the Arlington Health Department for treatment. But transportation is severely limited by lack of time. Social workers have been described as “a bunch of women who ^sit in their offices.” I think thf foregoing account of the servieeS we render is proof enough that this is not true. There is danger,' though, that in trying to perform this variety of services we spread ourselves too thin to be of real help to anybody. Social workers in general feel confused and frustrated by the enormity of their job, b t it ie encouraging to note that public welfare work is no ^longer regarded merely as that of almsgiving. resident of California, according to the paper* again, ha* decided to give the dogs a break, so he’s «• built “the dog house of the future.” (Husbands take note.) , ‘ “The 30-year-old power company employe, whose hobby is designing small homes, makes his pooch shelters of stucco. A flat roof, detachable for easy cleaning, serves as a sun deck. _ “The houses are separated into bedroom and living room. The latter has a plate glass picture window with a window box. The latest models have miniature carpets and beds and one-inch square flagstones set in front.” Shades of Cerberus! 'What! No automatic de-flea-er and de-tiek-er at the front door? How about maid service? . * * • It’s getting more beautiful in Rappahannock by the minute. Laat week the county was resplendent' in apple blossoms and dogwood. Every week it's magnificent with the glory of the land. The green fields are studded with fat blade cattle, or the color scheme may be dark red and white on a field of green. Sides of the hills are striped in green and earth redbrown. It's more thankful each day we people'of Rappahannock be. We - live, where there’s beauty and peace. Perhaps our woilc sometimes seems hard, but after an. honest day’s toil, no man in Rappahannock needs any fool invention of a synthetic fog-horn to put him to sleep! >< * * *. ‘‘The classroom of 200 A.D. will be built around microphones into which students will say their lessons, Prof. C. H. Mercer of Daihousie University, Halifax, N. S., forecast recently. According to The Canadian Press, the professor said the tape.recorders would play back the pupils' speeches and the class would criticise them. “Students will use swivel chairs, Professor Mercer declared. and_ there will be no blackboards. Tape recorders will recite the day’s French lessons and teachers, freed from the ‘curse’ of blackboards, will devote their time to watching the attentiveness of their pupils. “The professor has much faith in the tape recorder and the microphone. ‘The future,’ he said, ‘has great things in store for these gadgets.’ ” Well, well! My, my! This all sounds fine, but I'm willing to bet (1) youngsters will still manage to play hookey and go fishing the first warm spring days, (2) the first .graders, just learning to write, will manage to find a piece of chalk to write their newly-learned “dirty words” on sidewalks or walls, (3) little boys will scorn little “girls” as unbearable, and five years later completely change their minds, (4) little boys’ pockets will show a rusty bolt, a very dead frog, two fishing worms, a piece of string or twine, a blue glass marble, a wad of second-hand chewing-gum, etc., and (6) little girls will still wear the grown-ups’ long dresses clop around in high-healed shoes to play tea party. ‘Tis true, times have changed. Students don’t put boards over the school chimney to smoke the school out, and there are no pigtails to dip in the ink-wells or tie to the desks. A trip to school and a confidential talk will probably disclose the modern version of these pranks. 1 believe I’m thankful I’m not Pitts Park THEATRE Front Royal, Virginia THURSDAY, MAY 11 BARBARA STANWYCK —IN— “EAST SIDE, WEST SIDE** FRIDAY * SATURDAY MAY 12 » 13 ROBERT TAYLOR ~ V ; f LANA TURNER ' " ; ' \ —IN— - “JOHNNY EAGER* ; : suNdaV, may 14 > • (Ob* Day Only) - Show* 3 P.M. awl 9 P.M. / “always Heave THEM LAUGHING” 'with MILTON BERLE VIRGINIA MAYO MON. - TOES. - WED.

Retail Fur Buyers Report Big Take According to Virginia retail fur Auyer report* for the past fiscal year on file with the Game Commission, local trappers sold $408,845 worth of wild-trapped furs on the Virginia market. Muskrat topped the list with 169,293 pelta bringing $273,664. There were also sizeable returns in opossum, fox, raccoon, wildcat, think, otter, skunk, and weasel. Miss Lillian Layne, chief of the Commission's Fiscal Division, cautioned that these figures are based on reports from buyers and are not always entirely accurate. Bhe also stated tha this fior take reps- resented a healthy addition to thd economy of the State, but that it did not Show the total amount received from Virginia’s fur resources. Many thousands of dollars worth of pelts were shipped | by the trappers directly to out-ofstate buyers and there were nd reports on these transactions.

Timely Information From The H. D. Agent** Office Siltit Snst Effect*! ' Sound waves of rack high fro* quency that the human ear can* not hear thorn are being studied „ by many scientists today for such varied uses as cleaning machinery s and clothes, hilling insects, and" sterilising food. Practical agricultural uses of ultrasonics are under investigation at the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Engineers and entomologists, working together in their first limited tots, found that ulinic waves killed mosquito larvae in five seconds but that it took up to a full minute to ldH the larvae of the codling moth, that serious pest of apples and other deciduous fruits. However, if the worm is in the apple, the ultrasonic waves did net even dis• turb it. In another study of possible ultrasonic control of fruit fly in citrus fruit) the scientists found .that exposure to the high-frequency waves decreased the vitamin C content of the orange 'juice- The longer the exposure, the less vitamin C remained. > Strengthened Syrept An intensified natural maple flavor will be given to some of this spring's output of maple syrup as the result of a new process developed at the Department of Agriculture’? Eastern Regional Research Laboratory, Philadelphia, Pa. Dr. G. E. Hilbert, chief of the Bureau of Agricultural and Engineering Chemistry, believes the inexpensive ptoceee promises better maple products at lower cost and wider outlets for fine quality syrup. Maple syrup is a truly American sweet because sugar maples , grow only in North America. It has been a breakfast favorite from earlier pioneei days. But in redeem years the cost of pure maple syrup has made it too much of a luxury for many families. Mapleayrup blends, which are about three-fourths cane-sugar .syrup, are considerably le« expensive and more widely used. The dark, strong maple syrup which goes into these blends contains some caramel and other non-maple flavors. The hest grades of maple syrup are too light in color and delicate in flavor to be suited to • blending, and are too expensive to sell widely. Sheer Saggestimasi * Sheer fabrics are in the spotlight for summer clothes, says Margaret Smith, clothing specialist of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Miss Smith observes that yard goods counters ate offering -a greater variety of sheers than in many a year—in cotton, rayon, nylon and silk, with many old favorites to choose from, including dimity, dotted Swiss, organdie, chiffon, voile and tissue gingham. Start art ideal far this year’s very feminine styles, either soft drapes or crisp foil skirts. . In makinf op these fabrics, however, tiie hone seamstress needs toremember that many' need extra seam allowance. Crease-resistant voiles, for example,-are wiry and fray, badly, thus to hold securely ’ need seams from 1-4 to 3-8 inches deep when finished. Darts and waistline seams should not be cut downward because of the danger of fraying. French seams generally are besjp&ecause they are least conspicuous, but at armholes it may pay to bind seams with a bias fold of the material for durability. Sheers are so light and delicate that they havg a way of getting out of hand—slipping and stretching when cutting out the pattern. To avoid this, use one of the new cutting boards to which the fabric can be pinned before cutting. Or pin the fabric to heavy smooth paper. When stitching by machine, prevent puckering of the material by basting it to strip! of tissue paper.After stitching the paper is eesQy pulled off. Set the machine for about 16 to 18 stitches per inch for these delicate fabrics, Miss Smith advises, and tighten the pressure screw at the top. Use a fine needle—size 11 at least. Slip Under Sheers Tour slip is sure to show—show through, that is—when you wear a dress of sheer fabric. Thus consider what you will wear underneath when you make or buy a sheer dres*. Slips that match dresses in color are very much the thing this year—a navy blue slip under a navy dress, or a grey slip under a grey dress. Be sure the slip comes down to the hem of the dress and hangs evenly all around to avoid unsightly gaps. Plain slips look best under figured or fancy sheers. Dressy slips may be worn under plain sheen. Light aad Color Comfortable, economical lighting is worth consideration when Choosing color schemes for the various rooms of the house, housing specialists of the U. S. Department of Agriculture say. For thrift with light—either daylight or alectfic. light—there's an advantage in light-colored walls, woodwork and furnishings. This is because white or light colon reflect light and dark colon absorb it. In redecorating the home this spring a shift to the deep shades now in vogue for wall paper, interior paint, curtains and other furnishings may require more lamps or higher wattage bulbs for adequate illumination. .

Carlton Clore of Culpeper, completed a 1| acre fanh pond on his farm this week. Mr. Clore recently purchased the 100-acre tract of land formerly owned by W. H. Bayley, and located southwest of Culpeper on U. S. Highway No. 29. The owner intends to develop the farm as a beef cattle unit, producing only legume hay and high quality pasture. The pond which is being constructs by a local contractor will be stocked with fish by the 8oil Conservation District. Ponds are stocked with large mouth black bass and bream (Blue Gills) at the ratio of 100 to 1000 per acre of surface water. Soil Conservation ' Service technicians assisted the farmer in selecting his site and supervised the construction work. J. K. Vardaman, Jr., of Washington, is continuing work on his farm pond after several days delay due to undesirable soil conditions. Both Clore and Vardaman are co-operating with the Culpeper Soil Conservation District, and have developed complete farm plans for soil and water conservation assisted by Qoil Conservation Service technicians. Farm ponds are only one of the many conservation practices that make up a complete farm plan. The plans incorporate correct land use; by that is meant the utilization of each acre on the farm for the purpose for which it is best suited. The correct amounts of lime, fertilizer and the proper seeding* are all component parts of the complete farm plan as developed in co-operation with the Culpeper Soil Conservation District.

Rowell Lists Caterpillar Control Caterpillars in your cherry trees? Spray them with a mixture made at the rate of two pounds of SO per cent wettable DDT powder in 100 gallons of water, advises J. O. Rowell, insect control specialist at VPI. Arsenate of lead is satisfactory, but is more dangerous to use. Another way to get rid of them is to burn them mt by using a kerosene-soaked cotton cloth torch fastened t# the end af a pdle. This method, however, has the disadvantage of sometimes injuring the limbs of Che tree. ... 1 HOW } “Springuard” I AT YOUR LOCAL STORES [ FOR* Poison Ivy f °* ] Poison Oak Q*ick Seething Relief | Read The Message Around The Bottle | BUY IT — TRY IT | GET WONDERFUL RELIEF I Stores ^bat carry Springeard | M.

Horticulturist Give! Tips On African Violet Culture Do you grow African violets?. Then you’ll be interested in this advice Irani A. G. Smith,’Jr., , associate hor iculturist at VPI. The ideal soil for African violets is composed of equal parts of garden loam, sand fnd peat or leaf mold. Add some I'ery old manuie or a little bone |neal, the latter in the- proportion of one teaspoonful to a five-inch pot. Mix thoroughly. Do not let the plant get too dry or too wet. Temperature • of the water should the near room temperature. Water frdni the base, and keep water away from the heart of the plant. The plant does not like strong sun, b t does appreciate warm indirect light. Eastern exposure is ideal. African violets do not need much fertiliser. A 4-12-4 pr 5-105 fertilizer is recommended, one teaspoonxul tp a quart of water. Weak liquid manure may be used,, but too muca may produce leaves instead of flewers. The violets can be propogated from single leaves. Cut a full grown leaf with a one-inch stem. Insert the stem m 'sand and peat moss. Setting the leaf stem on a slant will help. Mealy bug is the chief enemy. It is controlled by spraying with warm water, or by 'using one of the sprays for sucking insects. A cotton-tipped toothpick dipped in water is another way to 'remove them. The minimum night temperature in winter should be 60 degrees to 65 degrees. At lower temperature, African violets Only struggle along.

There will be no price,support on the 1950 production of chick* ens, commercial broilers and bur* keys, according: to an announce* ment by the USD A, The USDA * egg purchase program, however, iwill be continued through June at the current level of 2oc per doz* en, farm price. This action will mean that 1950 chicken and turkey prices will be determined largely by the supply situation. The demand side of the picture is expected to continue goou in tep-ms of consumer purr chasing power. * * * Chicks placed in the seven commercial a<eas u. ring tne 8-week period ending April 8 exceeded last year. This will reflect heavier brouer supplies, lhe broiler price decline which began alter tne week of .March 24 has continued into April, anenanuoau -varrey prices are off 2c - 3c since .the. week of March 24, and are now at the 26c - 27c level. The number of turkey poults hatched in the Shenandoah Valley area is up 73 per cent over last year for the season to date April 1. Through April 1, 643,000 poults were hatched compared with 372,000 by the same date a year ago, according to latest figures from the Virginia Division of aMrkets. Turkey eggs set for hatching the week of April 1 totaled 259,000 in the Valley area compared to 192,000 a year ago. * * * Egg production through March continued at high levels. Farm flocks in the U.S. averaged 6 per cent more layers than a year Ago, and they produced 5 per cent more eggs, or 6.4 billion during the month. Egg prices in March averaged about 25 per cent below last year, a relationship which is not expected to change much in the next few months. The average price so far this year is 32.9c after adjustment for seasonal variation. This is substantially below the egg support price goal of 37c average for the year, 1950. * ¥ * Chicks and young chickens of this year’s hatching on April 1 were 8 per cent more than a year ago and 20 per cent above average. The South Atlantic States showed a 15 per cent decrease in holdings compared with a year ago. Holdings in the East North Central and West were the largest on record for the month, and accounted for much of the gain over last year. Here’s a good way to make yourself sick: Compare the breakeven point of your business with the same figure of a decare ago. DONAHOE’S FLOWER SHOP MRS. C. E.

C. W. Woodson, Jr., Superintendent of State Police and Executive Chairman,* of tfte Governor's Highway Safety Committee. January opened the ball of death with 80 fatalities to make a record for the month in Virginia history and February, with ti, was only three short of her own highest score. March showed a substantial reduction but April set another all-time high' wi.en 64 deaths were chalked .up against her, he said. Col. Woodson Stated gloomily that 1341, our worst traffic year, had a total of 1110* deaths and, with two out of four ordinarily* low-death months eclipsing their 1941 counterparts, the people of Virginia must show more co-operation if we are going to escape national disgrace. According to the safety official, arrests by state poliee for traffic violations during the period were some 60 per cent, above the 1949 figure but that no police department or combination could hope to apprehend more than a comparatively Small fraction of the daily violators. He pointed out also that more and more safety facilities are being built into our highways and that the Commonwealth’s education program has seen steady expansion, but that the individual simply will not respond nor seem to realize the peril to which he subjects himself. At least 70 per cent of all accidents last year, he reported, indicated occurence of a traffic-law violation while many others ^resulted from failure to show ordinary common sense. More Poultry and Egg* For Let* Money I* National Picture The nation’s pantry is • well-* stocked with poultry and eggs— and Mrs. Housewife can get more of those commodities for her money than she could a year ago. D. U. Livermore, poultry marketing specialist at VPI, says that storage holdings of poultry and eggs are about double those of a year ago, and that prices paid to farmers are down about 25 per cent. On the nation’s shelves the price wise shopper will find over 1,000,000 cases of shell eggs, as compared to 500,000 cases last year. There also are 57 per cent more frozen eggs, and 100 per cent more dried eggs than a year ago. Frozen poultry holdings amount to 212,000,000 pounds, compared to 108,000,000 pounds last year. The big item is_112,QOQtQOQ pounds of turkey—nearly three times last year’s supply. The turkey holdings are not excessive, Livermore claims, if consumers treat themselves to turkey this spring and summer. The wholesale price of turkey is down 25 per cent from last year. A. C.
