L, Dalton, Associate Animal Husbandman of VPI, give an interesting account of what the Extension Service has, and is doing in connection with the Feeder Calf Sales to be held over the state this year. Mr. Dalton advised that Virginia was the only state in the union offering official grading in connection with their beef cattle marketing program and the good job these graders were doing was obvious to anyone attending the sales. He stated further he was convinced the best Angus cattle in the United States were in Virginia, and that one Iowa man had written him wanting two carloads of Angus feeders. Mr. Dalton stated further that boifer demand was very strong, so—penning controls mat may be put on down at our Capitol—-beef cattle producers should receive good prices for feeder calves this fall.

There is speculation as to what this would mean. The general opinion seems to be that it would mean the placing of one small section of a department of “white collar” workers in communities near Washington, D. C., in order to avoid the confusion that was created during the former war years. Following is a copy of the letter sent to Stuart W. Symington, Chairman of National Security Research Board, Washington, D. C., by the Mayor-elect and the ladies of the council: “The newly^ elected council of IMS' town of Washington, Virginia, who take office September 1, 1960 by a majority vote, hereby request approval on designation of the town of Washington as a location for the proposed transfer of certain governmental agency or agencies. “Washington, Virginia, is a duly incorporated township by the Acts of the General Assembly having, according to the 1350 census, a population of 245. “This municipality, the county seat of Rappahannock county, is located on Route 211 approximately 65 miles west of Washington, D. C., with ample available land, water supply, and electricity to accommodate such a venture. “Your consideration in this behalf is respectfully solicited.” Town Council Hold* Final Meeting Tonight The Washington Town Council wiU hold its fin&L meeting hi the Courthouse tonight, August 3, at 8 o’clock.

Subscription .. $2.00 a year FARM WOODLANDS By Caleb Pannock, Jr., Foma tor At the close of 1949, the American Tree Farm System, which started in the state of Washington in 1941, had spread to 29 states, with 2,42 tree farms and a total , land area of 2W,*10,102 acres, according to a report by the American Forest Products Industries, Inc. For the fifth consecutive year the South led all ohter regions in tree farm growth with a total of 1,151,759 acres. In Virginia the tree farm program is sponsored by the Virginia Forests, Inc. Under this program landowners receive certification and agree' to manage their timber area according to approved forestry practices. It is a program designed to recognize and honor those landowners who are prse—ticing sound forestry measures on their woodland acreage. Its purpose is to encourage Vir* . ginia landowners to maintain or increase the value of their tree “crop” so that the forests of the state will be a perpetual source of income to their owners and to the many thousands of Virginians who are employed directly or in-: directly in the' harvesting or processing of that “crop.” Any forest or woodland owner, whether he has much or little acreage, is eligible to receive a Tree Farm Award if he meets the standards as established by the Virginia Forestry Committee. Landowners desiring further information should contact your County Agent, District Forester, or Soil Conservation Technician. Food Freezing No. 12 Lima beans are among the best sellers of frozen vegetables and many housewives are now freezing their own at home or at their locker plant. Here's bow ta go about it; . Pick your limas when they are slightly immature. Get them while they are still green as they will be tender, flavorful, and free from a starchy taste. Harvest just before freezing. Shell the limas and blanch at once. Blanch in boiling water, two minutes for the small green limas, or three to four minutes for the larger ones. Time the blanch accurately from the moment the water returns to a boil after the beans are placed in it. When the time is up, remove the beans and place immediately in ice water until the beans are chilled all the way through. This is very important. After blanching and cooling, the limas should be packed right away. A moisture-vapor proof bag that can be sealed air tight or a rigid container with a good seal is best, You can get them from your locker operator. As soon as they are packaged, get them in the freezer as soon as possible. Don’t try to hold them jn your refrigerator, but have them frozen at once. Store at 0°F. If it is necessary ta pick th# limas the evening before you can blanch and freeze them, do not shell the beans. Keep them in refrigerator or other cool place. Spread them in a thin layer so that they will chill through. Then freeze them first thing in the morning. The shorter the time from harvest until they are frozen, the better they will be.

Public Information From Department Of Highways An additional 23 picnic tables will be installed this summer along ' primary highways, or in wayside areas, of the Culpeper highway construction district, the State High way Department reported this week. Landscape engineers said locations for the tables will be selected at points where off-road parking and shade are available and inhere the tables will give the widest service. Some few of the new tables will replace old Camp Peery wartime mess hall tables which are rapidly deteriorating, highway engineers said. Most of the tables, however, will be additions. They were built at the State Penitentiary. With the new installations, each of the eight highway districts will have some 176 tables scattered along main routes or in wayside areas. Landscape engineers said the picnic tables serve several purposes—they provide recreation spots for the picnicking family or the weary motorist; they give the safety of off-highway parking, and they have trash containers to help keep the highways dean. Soil Saver Notes Early August is the time most farmers in the Culpeper soil conservation district attempt to seed alfalfa. Early seedings pay off in better stands because the plants have a longer period to develop Os good root system before frost. A fine, level and compact seed bed is of vital importance in getting a good stand. Numerous farmers in the distrTct are establishing .their alfalfa in contour strips, thus eliminating the hazard of erosion. Included in the group of framers who have plowed contour strips for alfalfa are C. R. Tinsley, Griffinsburg; Burke Brothers, Boston; Royal Minor, LaGrange; W. D. Troxell, Raccoon Ford; and I. L. Parish, Estes. “Establishing alfalfa in alternate contour strips on sloping fields is the most practical way and by all means the safest,” says C. R. Tinsley. Mr. Tinsley further states, “contour strips takes much of the gamble out of seeding alfalfa.” By this method two years are required to completely establish a field in alfalfa. H. P.

Construction is being done by a local contractor.

I he weatherman in Washington, D.C., saws we are in for two weeks of this blistering heat. “Nothing’s so bad, it might’ve been worse,” was thrown into my vocabulary somewhere along the line. All right, valiantly shall this be attempted. At least we have electric fans to help; we don’t have to (wear as many clothes as were required of our grandparents; we have access to plenty of ice; we can do some of our shopping in air-conditioning— Pshaw! what’s the use. It’s too hot to cafe whether we’re better off than we “might’ve been,’’ or not. All you can do is endure it. <w **«nf iwlirt Mf MUVI OUT TO A MIVI-tN THiATM C AND C DRIVE-IN THEATRE Straabarg Road FRONT ROYAL Tw» Complete Show* Nightly Starting At Twilight IN CAR SPEAKERS THURS. - FRI., AUG. 3 - 4 EDMOND O’BRIEN ROBERT STOCK in “Fighting Squadron** CARTOON SATURDAY, AUG.

All-Woman Government At Clintwood, Va. By H. M. SalMu4, Editor TW P^lwmaify Cllatwvd, Va, <Frm "The Wdcntk Di**.t)" Clintwood, the county seat of Dickenson county,' Virginia, a town of some 2,000 population nestling deep back in the MU country within eight miles of the Kentucky border, is appreciably benefitting by an original and rather widely publicised experiment. Within the past six months the town has undergone notable ehanges both in civic pride and public improvement—under “petticoat’' rule. Located in the heart of a large and fast develop ii% coal field, Clintwood through its BO years of Existence had largely “jest grow«d” under indifferent and lackadaisical masculine government. Conditions had reached the point where interest in municipal affairs bad dropped so low that it was extremely difficult, often impossible, to obtain a quorum to trane»‘ .act routine business on the rega lar meeting dates. Cm Wtan De Better? A few of the leading citizens of the town held a conference in the spring of 1343, and decided to see if it were possible >to interest an all-woman 'town ticket to enter the campaign for election in June. A Republican ticket had, previously announced, and Democratic wo*' men were approached and asked to enter their candidacies, to which they readily agreed. Then the women proceeded to show Clintwood something new in intensive campaigning. They made a house-to-house drive for votes, and they plastered the town with banners and slo. gans, aided and abetted by the local weekly newspaper. When the ballots were counted on June 8 the result was a landslide for the women in a community that was * normally Republican. The vots| was better than three to one for the feminine ticket. Her Honor the Mayor Elected were: Mrs. Minnie C. ' Miller, widowed teacher and housewife for her two adult sons, Mayor; and, for the Town Council, Mrs. Ida M. Cunningham, tea Young anct - Old!

Mrs. Menefee wore a unique arrangement consisting of a headpiece made of various kinds of vegetables which iwas held in place with a hat pin made of Japanese beetles. Mrs. M. A. Joyce, Mrs. Gibbs and Mrs. Almy of Front Royal Garden Club conducted the program on landscaping. The chairmen of the various committees for the flower show to be held in September, wets appointed. Mrs. J. G. Revercomb received the blue ribbon for her arrangement of white and maroon gladioli, Mrs. R. V.

Shortt, housewife and business woman. On September 1, 1948, they took over the reins of government and from the outset tnere was quickened interest in town affairs and improvements. On the morning that they were conducted into office, they appeared on the streets with brooms, rakes, wheelbarrows and other implements, and they instituted a clean-up campaign in which the men joined wholeheartedly. Ftrom that moment Clintwood became conscious of its rather bedraggled appearance, and daily improvement and beautification is readily visible. Because of heavy traffic, largely loaded coal trucks, the streets of Clintwood were in a deplorable condition, practically impassable. Nothing daunted, the women tackled this difficult problem so effectively that in a surprisingly short time a resurfacing and re “pairing program had been completed, partly through the aid of the state highway commission and partly through contributions collected from businessmen whose establishments $ere located on these streets. Women Are Doing Better Garbage disposal, previously the concern of roving packs of hound dogs, was provided, and at the same time the women declared war on the dogs by reviving an old and forgotten ordinance which prohibits unescorted canines on * the streets. Add to these accomplishments a long list of minor improvements, such as additional street lighting, extensions of the sewer lines, the purchase of a fire truck, and other facilities that cannot be listed in this space, and one may readily realize that the all-woman government of Clintwood is rapidly winning approval and acclaim by the citizens. Other ambitious programs, including a public playground, an adequate sewer system, and a municipal building and community center, have been held in abeyance because the women have been handicapped by lack of funds. At the time they were elected to office, the citizens also approved a $200,000 water bond issue, and all revenues from the present in adequate water system are used for the purpose of meeting, interest costs on this 'bond issue. Previously water revenues had been the chief source for funds to meet running expenses. In addition to her duties as a teacher in the local high school, Mayor Miller, known by her constituenta as “Sis," takes off the necessary time to hold court when occasion demands. Her culprits are usually “drunks," and partkipante in Saturday night fisticuffs which have long beeen the prerogative of the hillman. Few appeals have been noted from'her decisions. Everything considered, Clintwood's experiment has been an unqualified success, and it has resulted in redoubled interest by the citizens in community affairs, as is evidenced by the crowds of citi*ens who for the first time ii> their lives attend the regular meetings of the Town Council. These crowds have become so peat that the sessions ere now being held in the county courts house where soffkient room is pro. vided to accommodate them. And these people do not come to scoff or to heckle f e “city mothers," but rather to talk over tfceir problems and try to discover a mutual means wheneeby the town of CHntwood may be made a little better place hi which to live.

County Farmers Home Administration Holds Annual Meeting County FHA committeemen from 23 counties in Northern Virginia met in Culpeper at the Municipal building Thursday, July 27, for their annual meeting. There were about 40 committeemen present in addition to the seven county FHA Supervisors who serve these counties. The meeting was conducted by personnel from the Richmond State Office. Speakers on the program includeed, James E. Stone, chief, program operations; P. M. Jackson, farm management specialist, and Julian A.^ Hawthorne, state field representative for the Northern Virginia area. Mrs. O'Brien, state home management specialist was also present and tok part in the discussions. The county committeemen meet together once each year to view past performances of the program and to become further acquainted with FHA policies and their duties as committeemen. Mr. Jackson pointed out to the committeemen their responsibility for certifying only those eligible families who are ready and willing to improve their farming practices in order to earn a good living and pay their debts from their farm income. Committeemen took part in discussions on how we can better meet the needs of each individual family and ways of increasing farm income through better practices. It was brought out that in many instances the loans were too small for the individual borrower to actually accomplish his goal. It was learned that the average operating capital for FHA borrowers was less than the State average, based on a survey made by Extension Service sometime azo. County committeemen present from the counties served by the Culpeper office were T. G. Ragsdale, Robert G. Apperson and L. M. Twyman from Culpeper county; William O. Smith, Jr., from Madison county, and I. Nelson Atkins and James E. Yates from Rappahannock county. Each county has three committeemen appointed for a term of three years with one committeeman retiring June 80 of each year. No applicant can be approved for a loan through FHA until he has been certified as to his eligibility by the county committeemen. ‘ /• Farmers Home Administration makes loans for the purchase of farms, enlargement of farms and farm development, over a period «f 40 years at 4% interest. Farm Housing loans are also made for either new construction or repairr to farm buildings at the rate of 4% for a period not to exceed 83 y**1’*- Operating loans are made for a period of from one to five at 8% interest. These operating loans are for the purchase of lime, fertiliser, seed, livestock, machinery, and other farm purposes. FHA can lend only to those families who are not eligible for credit through the banks, Farm Credit Association, and any other lending agencies. Spaghetti did , not originate in Italy.

Conservation Director Receives Umber Report More than one hundred and ten million board feet of lumber was harvested under good forestry methods in Virginia dpring the past year, according to a report received today by Sidney S. Kellam, director of the Department of Conservation and Development, from Geo. W. Dean State Forester Ninetysix million board feet of this large volume was cut under the direction-of the Timber. Service Program rendered, to “la'ndowners by the Virginia Forest Service. The report pointed out that the ninety-six million board feet cut under the direction of the State Foresters plus about fourteen million board feet cut under the direction of Industrial and Consulting Foresters constitutes at least 10 per cent of all lumber cut in the state during the year. The State Forester enthusiastically pointed to this remarkable progress as evidence of what can be done to grow timber as a renewable crop through the combined efforts of the landowners, the mill operators and the public services. The popularity of the timber service program of the state was indicated by the fact that 1,718 landowners requested tiie service. The foresters examined and reported on 343,970 acres, the majority of which supported immature timber. The state forester believes that some of the most effective work of the timber service program accomplishes is in showing the landowner, when his timber is immature, that it is in its fastest growing stage and should not be cut until it matures. In further detail ;the Teport. shows that the foresters marked 9,083 cords of pulpwood, mostly as thinnings to improve young pine stands, and selected 23,000 seed trees. The seed trees which were all thrifty pine trees with ■well-formed tops, were left standing to furnish seed for new crop of pine. State Forester Dean, in summarizing his report, expressed appreciation to the Vocational Agriculture Teachers, the Soil Conservation District Supervisors, The County Agents, The menbers of Forest Industry, and others, for their effective assistance in the program. p Use NEWS Classified Ads FUSSELLS ICE CREAM FUSSEUUYOUNC ICE CREAM COMPANY Cnlp«p«r, Virgiai* REAL ESTATE I k*v« proipoct* for All Kin4* of Property • Ontaide Connection* W.

Your doctor, aided by certain tests, can determine which pollens are irritating to you—ragweed is only one of several culprits which may be responsible—and prescribe proper treatment to ease the discomfort. If you have hay-fever, or if you are bothered by a “summer cold” that hangs on in spite of all efforts, consult your doctor. His diagnosis and treatment can do a great deal to relieve this condition.
