Seventeen boys and 20 girls are on the squads this year, the first time the county has joined forces to form a county-wide team. It v is felt that the competition will til more fair this year than in previous years when the separate high schools in the county had to meet teams of other consolidated counties. •?. .#«| Coach C. O. Calhoun’s teams have been practicing at Sperryville to become accustomed to the court which will be used. Sperryville School’s court is larger than • that at Rappahannock High School building and the auditorium can ; v accommodate larger crowds in attendance. . | '-i.. \4$;‘ ~ ?

No definite .plans have been made for the annual High SchoolAlumni game&^a feature inulos*-, *the" Christmas hollday season when the high school ' : teams try their skill against the students of an earlier day. Prior to this it has' been just the high school at Washington, but some speculation is about now that it win be a county-wide affair. The high school teams know that when the alumni begins to pull the topnotch players from throughout the county, it may be pretty difficult to beat them—whether they are “in practice” or not.

Here is some advice given to gift givers who are buying toys for the baby or tod-* dler: _ _.._1_ Avoid staffed animals with glass or button eyes. Examine toys to see that there are no removable parts which could be swallowed. Buy sturdy rattles, blocks with rounded corners, soft balls and dolls, and push-and-pull toys with rounded handles. The two- to four-year-old is interested in building blocks, peg toys, large crayons, dolls, and nontipping kiddie cars. The four- to six-year-old likes construction sets, puzzles, games, cut out sets with blunt scissors, and doll bouses. .The six- to eight-year-old is interested in hobby materials, musical instruments, sports equipment, books, construction sets, and table top games The council also adds this final word of advice to parents: don’t endanger your child with shooting or target toys, sharp scissors or poorly built wagons or carts. Don’); buy toys that are too heavy and complicated for the child to handle. Avoid sharp-edged tools and non-approved electric train*.

It seems impossible that such could have happened, for an electrical storm at Thanksgiving is unheard of in this section—but A. L Rucker and Walter Rucker, owners of the farm, are certain that it happened l They have charted ruins and a foundation of a barn to prove it. The Rappahannock Volunteer Fire Company answered the call in a heavy rainstorm, but tMe - building was in a complete blase before the iire trucks could arrive.' The farm is located on the Hume road, north of Flint HiU. Warning Given Farmers «l Against Cattle Thieves With information* that thieves •re raiding pastures in neighbor* ing counties, the stock owner* in • Rappahannock, are given warning to keep a sharp look-out on their own cattle. Most of the losses in the neighboring counties have occurred where pastures are along the road side, and the thieves apparently drive trucks up to the pastures and load the marketable steers and drive off. This cattle-thieving is brought to attention from recent esses which follow s steady series of stealing daring the late summer. Fauquier and Culpeper county beef-cattle farms have reported, troible. In most cases, the trail of the thieves has been lost, with conditions almost impossible to catoh them red-handed. A warning will post Rappahan* nock stock-raisers to be alert, and the hope is expressed they will catch anyone who attempts any thieving. The above warning was issued from the offices of Commonwealth Attorney Rayner V. Snead and Sheriff J. W. Critter. Farm Hog Slaughtering lc Big Buuiiflsi v v ‘Farm slaughter of hogs'in Virginia is big business—valued at over $22,000,000 last year—and farmers stand to lose much of the profit if they don't follow some careful practices, warns George Herring, animal' husbandman at - V.P.I. Herring saytf that during the peak slaughter season—December, January, and February—several hundred thousand head will bo killed. Some of the meat will be * lost. Five per cent of it, a conservative estimate, would amount to over $1,000,000. The extent of loss will depend largely on the weather, and the care in slaughtering of animals and in curing and storing the meat. He says the spoilage and insect damage account for most of the annual loss. -1The locker plants in Virginia, most of which are equipped to cure meat, have taken much of * the gamble out of the weather. They can do a good job any time if slaughtering is carefully done and they get the carcasses immediately thereafter. Meat at the plants can be chilled, cut, and then cured under controlled temperature with no danger of spoilage. Herring says more meat is lost by not getting carcasses chilled > quickly than for any other reason. Usually the best weather for killing is between Thanksgiving and Christmas when the days are short and the nights long and eool. Killing during that time also makes it possible to complete the - curing and smoking job before the skipper fly becomes active— generally in late February and early March. Night temperature* of around freezing are desirable , for chillipg carcasses, but it is best, not to let carcasses freeze. ... Herring says the best plan is to kill one day, cbill tha carcass over nigbt, and cut it the next morning. Then apply the curing mixture to the cuts. A good job of trimming cant .be done with warm meat, and all the animal heat should escape before the earing mixture is applied.

Curran, 1790 Reodin', Kitin’, and Lipstick Application (Benjamin Mum la the Washington Peat) Now that the immediate school bond referendum* have been decided—in the negative — school bond advocates lilQe the writer might he allowed to unburden themselves of a few frank remarks about school administration in Virginia. . 4 For one thing, school authorities evefy^hbre sdein to feel ~thut’ they have to build either streamlined places or no schools at all. ' Th differehce between a -modest school. building and a deluxe one nowadays, as in the case of used cars, is only a question of age. Every new school building has all the frills. Of course, we want our children to have the best we can afford, bat, in the opinion of some of us bystanders, it might be better to build schools more on the utilitarian and economical side and have enough to? go around. The Little Red School House wiwi a wooa-Durmng stove ana water from the well turned out some pretty fine scholars in its day. As for what goes on inside the schools, Governor Battle has done nothing finer in his 10 months in office than his courageous insistence on the teaching of fundamentals..% In his speech to the Virginia Education Association the other day, the Governor observed that “some so-called authorities on the subject of education tell us that the average citizen is. in no position to answer these questions/' “I freely admit/’ Battle said, “that I am in the same position as the average taxpayer in Virginia.” But he wenton and said a mouthful. As this column has repeatedly pointed out, the school authorities are getting further and further away from the thinking of the taxpayers in their theories on education._ Every few years the General Assembly sends a commission around to contact the public and in every case the commission has returned with a report that the people want more teaching of the “three R's and the fundamentals.” But the public school heirarchy goes on devising new methods of bypassing the fundamentals in favor of vague and impractical formulas for purifying and ennobling youth. “In my opinion,” the Governor told Virginia educators, “there should be no room for argument •s far as Spelling, reading, writing, arithmetic, grammar, and civil government are concerned, especially in these trying days when the principles of government which we hold so dear are so widely attacked and misrepresented .. ." But, he added: “It is useless to talk of these thing* unless our young. people ift folly equipped to rend, uitt* and transmit their thoughts to others . . . There may be a ‘rich offering** in many subjects which is totally ineffective without a thorough grounding .In the basic skills of learning.** “In this modern age,** said the Governor, "I feel that some of us are inclined to treat the schools as a convenient nursery and infirmary . .Certainly the schools are reaching out to become that; The writer has a 12-year-old daughter, like many Virginia parents, he would like to have her draw the maximum from the storehouse of human knowledge in the hours which- she spends in school. She came home the other day with a report that she had been receiving instruction In the application of lipstick! Believe it or not, that is one of the “rich offerings." There are many other things that children might be taught, if it comes to that. Table manners for instance, although school authorities might differ on some controversial point like the question of whether to cut lettuce with a knife and fork and what to do with prune seeds. The “personal grooming” course might be extended to boys, some of whom are none too proficient in combing their hair. Instructions in tying a bow tie would offer a real challenge. But we old fashioned folks cant get the idea out of our heads that some of these things can be learned at home and that the precious hours of school are all too little time in which to learn reading, writing and arithmetic iM the great lessons which are written in books. We need fewer mentality tests and more of the wisdom of the ages. Of course, like Governor Battle, I'm just a taxpayer, but we cow hands have an idea or two which even school authorities might pause and consider. Weather Gets Fouled XJp For Thanksgiving Season Thanksgiving day was as pretty as you’d want to see, but beginning Friday night the weather^ man threw the book at us. He began Friday night with a thunder storm, and turned the mess into sleet up at Chester Gap and down ^he mountain side to fVont Rdyal. On Saturday afternoon the weatherman seemed to change his mind again and snow put a slippery skim on ail the highways to_ _ send returning Thanksgiving holiday guests at at snail's pace—or over in the ditch—on their trips home. Taking it as a whole, however, Rappahannock got it pretty easy, considering what can be read in the papers about the heavy snow storms and floods in the other sections of the country. Kennebec Potato Is High Yielder The Kennebec potato, a new* corner^ to the vegetable world, has produced the highest yields among about 16 varieties tested at Virginia Experiment Station during the past two years. Hr. Flood S. Andrews, associate horticulturist, said the potato ia blight-resistant and matures about two weeks later than the Cobbler. Dr. Andrews said that several new seedlings and varieties are showing “definite merit with respect to smoothness, shape, yield, quality and resistance to disease.” He pointed out that market preference for a smoother, brighter, cleaner potato emphasizes the importance of a breeding and testing program.

He never ex* plained whether he thought the purchasing of good seeds and the proper application of fertiliser had as much to do with the success of the garden as had his following of signs of the almanac. It was a joke in the family—behind his back, of course, for his feelings were spared—and the "signs of the almanac" were used on every occasion, until one of the sons of the family complained of a short-tailed shirt and said he knew it had been made on the ,"up-go of the moon." The Christmas gift season is fast descending upon us. Somewhere in this fair land is uthe efficient lady wh ©already has^her . Christmas presents wrapped and ready, for she followed a suggestion made last year that she get them ready all during the year. Somewhere among Uncle Sam’s nephews and nieces is that careful and thoughtful person iwho has her Christmas shopping all outlined and planned and will have it completed on tithe and correctly labeled. Also somewhere else (and these places are more numerous) are located the folks who are enjoying seeing all the Christmas decorations going up on the streets and in store windows. They are planning vaguely and nonetoo-efficiently what they should do about the holiday gift season before it suddenly pounces upon them like it did last year—and the year before that. It will dawn— upon them, at the last minute,' that their Christmas present get - ting is *way behind schedule and then, in a mad fury, they will __ rush hither and yon to. get presents wrapped and mailed! This latter group of people can v be described at great length. To begin with, I’m more familiar with that group—being a member of - the same society—and it is generally supposed that this group also numbers a far larger majority than the group composed of all the efficient and industrious shoppers. Among the suggestions for the making of Christmas presents at home, comes this story. A lady suggests that you take a large tin can, cut the top off even, paint said can or paste picture on said can, and decorate it prettily. All fine and good, came the bewildered comment, and then what do you do with it? For what can this fancy can be used? Well, the lady doesn’t seem to know; hut after some consideration this answer came: you can put other smaller cans into the big one. * * » The new Hagerstown Almanac says that a communist is a fellow who has given up all hope of becoming a capitalist. The same copy of the Almanac gives this advice to the housewife who is prone to cut her finger: wrap the finger or thumb (which you usually cut) iwith adhesive tape before you cut it. Tou stupid cluck! Do you suppose I cut my finger on purpose? If I knew— or thought—I was going to slice Washington Theatre Show* start at 7:16 and 9 P.M.

Dennis, of Flint Hill, had the misfortune to fall down the steps at the home of her sister Mrs. F. W, Slaughter, suffering severe bruises and cuts. New Social Security Regulations Some farm people ■will come under social security on January 1, 1951 but not farm operators. Hired farm workers will come under if they earn $50 or more cash wages in a calendar quarter and are regularly employed by one farm operator for live or more months. A calendar quarter is a three-month period beginning January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1. A regularly employed farm worker is a person employed by one farm operator on a full-time basis for a period of several months. For example, Ed Smith, a farm worker, is employed by Howard Jones, a farm operator. Smith will work continuously for Jones during the calendar quarter beginning this October. During that time he will establish what is known as a “service relationship” with Mr, ^Jonee. It will show^that, he wants to work regularly for one farm operator and that Jones wants him a' a regular employee. Now let’s look forward to January first—the date when regular farm work begins to count toward social security insurance. Ed will be qualified. However, he must work for Jones on a full-time basis for at least 60 days in the calendar—quarter - beginning -on January first, and he must earn not less then $50 in cash wages for bis work on those 60 or more days.» As long as he continues to do this much work for Jones in each calendar quarter, and earns $50 or more in cash wages for his work in the quarter his earnings will be credited toward old-age and survivors insurance. Tint suppose in the calendar quarter beginning April 1, Ed doesn’t work as much as 60 day* for Jones, but is paid $50 or more cash wages for that period. He will be credited for that quarter but not for the one beginning July 1,< regardless of days of work and amount of cash wages. That less- ' than-60-days of work broke his continuous employment relationship with Mr. Jones. Ed must start, all over again. What this all means is that a farm worker, to have his cash wages count toward old-age and survivors insurance, must:—first, work continuously through a calendar quarter to establish a service relationship, then be continuously employed by the same farm operator, and earn not less than $50 cash wages for 60 or more days of iwork in each consecutive quarter. • Pitts Park THEATRE Front Royal, Virginia THURSDAY, NOV. 80 JAMES STEWART —in— '*■ “Broken Arrow” FRL - SAT., DEC 1-2 JUNE ALLYSON DICK POWELL , “Right Cron' SUNDAY, DEC.

S. Beecher and A. G. Smith, Jr., of the horticulture staff at VPI: After the first frost .kills the dahlias, cut the tops off at a point about six inches above the ground. Dig the dahlia carefully 'so the tubers won't be injured by the spading fork. Before putting the clumps in storage let them dry so the soil will shake off easily. Inspect the tubers closely and discard any that are injured or not healthy. Cut the stem back to within two or three incres of the crown.__ " ,• - " Proper storage is important. A basement where the temperature is around 4-0° is ideal, but many ^cellars with furnace heat are Wanner_ and drier. One solution . to the problem of a dry, twarm cellar is to make a small storage room by partitioning off an area of the cellar. Locate the area by 'a window so the temperature can ; be kept low. The room also would be a good storage place for apples WHEN IN L UR AY VISIT HARLIN'S CUT RATE STORE SEE OUR TOY LINE «nd TOILET GOODS IN LURAY IT’S THE VIRGINIA GIFT SHOP Tkaatr* Bldg.

According to I. T. Quinn, executive director of the Commission of Came and Inland Fisheries, the average hunters chances of returning home with something in the game bag are excellent this jjrear. ’ Nesting conditions for the State’s upland game birds ranged . from fair to good through the nesting season, with the result that more coveys should rise before the nimrod’s guns this year. Deer prospects are good throughout the State with hunters in the Tidewater counties generally finding more liberal regulations as to length of season than their brother hunters west of the Blue Ridge. The squirrel hunters should find conditions to their liking this year, for with the nut trees of the State bearing a bumper crop of mast the gray-coated tree dwellers should be in top notch condition. The Came Commission is making a special plea to the hunters this year to try and be careful with fire when they are in the woods and fields. Carelessness’ with matches or cigarette butts can ruin the hunting prospects in a region for years to come. —1 * ———— ' i '• J. E. Keyser and Mrs. D. D.

Rowell, Extension entomologist at VPI advises. Rowell warns that lice often are the cause of decline in milk and' beef production. , v They should be destroyed any time they are found, on animals, but it is especially important to control them at this time of year, since they reproduce and spread rapidly in warm congested quarters. A single treatment with a 11 per cent DDT spray, or 10 per cent DDT dust should eradicate lice- completely on cattle not in the milking herd or being finished for slaughter. ^ One application of lindane spray can be used on dairy animals and beef animals alike. Apply lindane at the rate of li pounds of a 25 per cent gamma wettable powder to 100 gallons of water. Lindane will control both lice and mange mites. Rowell warns, however, not to use lindane sprays on calves under three months old. December Plenty December markets this year/will offer a wide variety t>f plentiful foods, according to the U. S. Department of Agriculture. The bountiful list for next month begins with five foods starred as due to be especailly abundant. These •re: pork, cabbage, turkeys, cranberries, and sweet potatoes._ Turkey production this year is the largest on record, cranberry production the second largest. FaVoragle weather has given cabbage such a boost that the early fall crop, nearly a third larger:. marketed and prices to growers have been abnormally low. The, sweet potato crop is a whopper,' too—the largest in several years and 10 per cent above last year. Pork prices are expected to be lowest for the year in December because of peak supplies of hogs marketed. Fruits expected in heavy supply next month include not only cranberries but also apples, oranges, and grapefruit. The commercial apple crop this year is estimated at 120 million bushels—only about 10 per cent less than the very large crop of last year and well above average. A very large <x* \ •age crop is expected htis yepr ■J&jS&LM JM- ***** M*b December. Grapefruit production to expected to be larger than last . y®**.. As for vegetables, markets will ba** large supplies of carrots, onions, and Irish potatoes next month as well as cabbage and yaweet potatoes. 1 - Protein foods for the main dish ' are many and varied: plenty of hens, broilers and fryers, eggs, cheese, fish—-fresh and frozen— - and peanut butter along with the heavy supplies of pork and turkeys. « Finally, remember honey next month not only for table use but also for special holiday cakes, cookies, and desserts. Stocks of honey held by beekeepers are the largest on record." GUESTS FOR THANKSGIVING v < Mr. and Mr*.

^HOMEMAKERS ITEMS How permanent' mo to-colled ^‘permanently-pleated” fabrics and garments on th« market today? I Consumers and dry cleaners are j having, trouble with the “permanently-pleated petti-pleats—which tare small rolled irregular pleats. The pleats come out when water is spilled or. used on them, although they are not affected by «iry cleaning solvent. They cannot * be reset—it is necessary to send *he garment to a commercial pleating firm for repleating. I Th6 petti-pleating is done on fnixed fabrics such as 40 per cent y©ol or 60 per cent rayon, and on ppun rayon, butcher linen, wool Jersey, and cellulose acetate rayon and nylon cgmbinations. Rolled bleats are sold in both yard goods and ready-to-wear combinations. pLabels say "dry clean only—do not press.’* Such fabrics cannot be classified as serviceable. If you buy them, do so at your own risk. -• * ■ .Vff Clothing prices are about four per cent higher than a year ago.

Shoe price* also ere up. • * * Protein While Slimming More then normal amounts of protein should be included in any •weight-losing diet, nutrition sdentists of the Wisconsin Experiment Station conclude from recent research. This is especially important for future health of teen-age girls on slimming diets. Many “dieters’’ assume that a satisfactory way to reduce is simply to cut down on fats, sugars and starches in a good notAal diet. Some ease pangs of hunger by filling up on low-calorie items like lettuce, celery and similar vegetables. But the Wisconsin studies show that while losing weight the body needs extra protein to hold a nitrogen balance, especially during the teens when the body is still growing. Lack of sufficient protein at this age the Wisconsin researchers report, can affect health in later life. *" • -VBreakfast Jeices Chilled juices, popular first course at breakfast, are tangy waker-uppers that go well with the hot dishes on 'most morning menus. And some juice*—if the portion^ are generous—do important duty in providing much of the day’s vitamin C. If you rely on fruit juices for vitamin C, it’s well to check your choice for its vitamin C content, say nutritionists of the Bureau of Human Nutritlbn and Home Economics, U.S. Department of Agriculture. Rich in this vitamin is ¥fe£h orangd- juice, they pbint bttt. But all citrus juices rank high— frozen and canned orange juices, and the various forms of grapefruit and tangerine juice. 1 Tomato juice is another good source of vitamin C^though, unless fortified with added vitamin C, it takes more than twice as much canned tomato juice to match canned orange juice. Pineapple juice has much less of this vitamin, and only tracer—unless ARRANGE FOR YOUR V.

Extra vitamin C is sometimes added to apple juice and$ other canned, bottled, and frozen juices which are short on it. These 5, fortified juices may have as much > ; or more vitamin C as citrus^ the nutritionists explain, but be sure and check the label. , If your breakfast juice is short on C, be sure to get this vitamin in some other dish or later, in the f day. Vitamin C—also called as,r corbie acid—is one of the essentials for keeping tissues in good condition. It is needed daily because the body can’t store ihuch of this vitamin.
