Jones appeared before the board concerning an issue -.which had arisen as to the boundary between Warren and Rappahannock in the Chester Gap area. A request will be made to see if Warren has a complete record of this boundary, and if not, legal steps will be taken to have it determined. R. Worthington, resident engi- ... - near, received the board's approval in a suggestion for a change in the maintenance system of the " county's roads. . The board accepted with thanks and expression of appreciation a gift of over $600 toward the dental clinic for the county. The gift j was presented by Miss Ruby Jenkins, who has been instrumental in working to get this money for the dental clinic for school children.

C. Link, secretary-treasurer of the district. ' j The district is divided into east- . em and western divisions. The eastern division comprises the schools of Stafford, Quantico Post, Occoquan, Nokesville, Herndon, and Warrenton. The western division is made up of Marshall, Leesburg, Rappahannock, Lincoln, Aldie, and Lovettsville. The undefeated girls’ team of Rappahannock High School has a good chance to be listed for a play-off in the finals at Manassas, where the winners will meet the champions of others districts to determine the ktate champions of Group III. ' The league games with Atdie last night and the games with Stafford tonight—both away from the home count — will end the league games for the season for Rappahannock High School. The boy's team has lost a few games and* does not stand as good a chance as the girls’ for a shot at the district championship. New Town Marker *' - Enacted *.?

Health Department Give* Helpful Advice .Whooping Cough, Mumps Following the epidemic that is hitting the school children of the county, the following information is issued by the county health nurse, Mrs. Frances Thornton, from the county health office, as hints for better care and prevention in cases of whooping cough and mumps. “ • , Whooping Cough ; Whooping cough is a highly contagions or catching disease. Very young babies have sime resistance inherited from their mothers but it lasts only a short time and many fatal cases occur in babies less than a year old. All children may catch the disease unless they have already had it or have been protected with whooping cough vaccine^ but they are not likely to have it more than ■ one time in their lives. Whooping cough is so dangerous to young children that at least ten per cent of cases less* than four years old are apt to die. The very young are especially likely to have severe pneumonia while '' weakened by whooping cough, Children catch it from other eases by breathing in the tiny droplets of infected mouth spray which are expelled into the air around the patients when they cough. They are most apt to spread the disease in the early stages before whooping signs and before it is recognised as whooping cough. Children always should be kept away from others with coughs or colds of any kind. Whenever whooping cough is known to be in the neighborhood, parents should be especially careful to keep their children from being exposed to it. Syaptwu About two weeks after exposure to a case, susceptible children show the first symptoms of their own attack. These usually are mild at first and the children continue to play with their friends.^ and spread the disease among " them. A dry, brassy cough appears, But there is little or no« fever nor other alarming symptoms for a time. The cough persists and does not yield to the usual household remedies. In about ten days the nature of the cough changes to hard spells of coughing which gradually become more frequent and severe. The coughing spells are very exhausting and leave the child so out Of breath that it frantically draws in a huge breath of air with the crowing sound that gives the disease its name. These paroxysms often cause the sick child to lose (See HEALTH DEPT,, page 8.) Rally and3upper Meeting By Shiloh Association Dr.'John Hill, of yNashville, .

To date the incomplete reports are as follows: * Washington and northern Rappahannock—Mrs. D. D. Miller, in charge_..._$305 Sperryville and southern section—Rev. A. Paul Thompson in charge-.---...— $21 The Directors *;_$107 Total ___$433 A meeting for final reports is to be held next Sunday afternoon at four-thirty at "Maple Springs" the home of Mr. and Mrs. D. D. Miller. At that time the measure of support- that may be expected from the citizens of the county should be evident, and the direcv tors mill accordingly plan for the summer. It is hoped that much more than the minimum requirement of $600 will be reported and thus make it possible to launch this significant enterprise on more than a minimum scale. The membership tickets costing $3, entitle the holder to three concerts during the summer. Only _ {high class, - thoroughly competent musicians are promised for these concerts. The search for a suitable place in which to bold the concerts is still in progress. An old barn or mill close to the Lee Highway, between Massies Corner and Panorama, is the aim of the promoters. Those who are interested and have not yet been canvassed may send their applications for reservations to S. E. Hening, president, or C. E. Johnson, Jr., both in Sperryville, or to any of the following workers: Mrs. D. D. Miller, Mrs. Ralph Rowzie, Miss Nancy Moore, Lide Dearing, Mrs. L. V. Merrill; Rev. Paul Thompson, Mrs. Holmes Hall, Mrs. James Smith, James Atkins, Mrs. George Taylor, Mrs. A. W. Yowell. Jim Swan 'Day Set For February 22 An old established custom is being continued by the son of his famous father as J. Douglas Swan and J. A. Swan, Jr., & Co., bring “Swan’s Day” to Culpeper on February 22. Definite facts cannot be located, but it is thought that this custom of a .business being host to the farmers of Culpeper and Rappahannock and other adjoining counties goes back about 30 years. Many present farmers recall attending these days in town when they were youngsters; The program of the day will include the exhibition of the famous New Oliver tractor, cut in two, to show the entire workings of the inside. This is the first time this “cut-in-two” tractor has been on exhibit in the state. Other entertainment will be free movies and a ticket drawing to give away ten handsome prizes. A complete program of the day Is given in Swan’s advertisement in the paper. Violinist Gives Concert In Culpeper Friday Stephan Hero, internationally famous violinist, will give a concert in Culpeper tomorrow night, (Friday, February 16), at 8:15 in the school auditorium in the town. This is the second in a series of three concerts offered by the Culpeper chapter of the Virginia Orchestra Guild. . Attendance is by membership only, but opportunity is offered to join now and attend three concerts , this spring. This membership is available because Orange county is organizing a chapter and membership subscription of $3 is'open until Friday afternoon. A membership card now would, entitle the holder to attend the violin concert in Culpeper and the two concerts to be given by the Virginia Symphony Orchestra later in the spring, one in Culpeper4 and one in Orange.

The tentative day set is April Friday-the-lStii, at which time the ladies hope to see the town cleaned up as slick as a pin and every piece of property and every street clean enough to dust it with a pocket handkerchief. ^ The ladies heard reports of the various committees, and answered the request of Mr. Hawkins, who •was present to ask that a street ^ light be put near his home on Middle street. It was noted that this was the only side street in town which had no light, and the vote was unanimous that this light be installed as soon as possible. Mrs. Davis, the mayor, reported ~ on a communication from Game Warden C. Ennis Brown, to the effect that complaints from townspeople about dogs should be registered by reporting the tag number from the collar of the dog. If the Game Warden has the tag number, he can then contact the owner and request him to keep the dog off the street. The town council agreed to pass resolutions approving the forthcoming music festival to the county. The treasurer’s report showed that the ladies had been very economical with the spending of the town’s funds. Money paid out since they came into office in September amounted to about $400, leaving over f800 in the checking account, not counting the $3000 on savings. The revenue due annually to the town is about $1800._ W. S. C. 5. Meeting With Mrs. C. G.

Rappahannock News _Published Thursday Morning at Washington, Rappahannock County, 'Virginia Dial Washington 2851 LUCY CATHERINE BOWIE Publisher Entered as second-class mail matterat the—post—office at Washington, Virginia. , ' Subscription:-$2.00 a year An 18-Year-Old Lad Speak* Up Since just about everybody else in the land has had, or expects to have his or her say regarding the proposal to draft 18-year-olds, H seems not amiss to inquire how those chiefly affected by the plan feel about it. A high school senior in Richmond, who will be 18 in a few months, does not claim to. apeak for all boys his age, but what he has to say on the subject in a letter to the Richmond News Leader is extremely interesting and possibly reflects the viewpoint of many youths now in school who expect to be in the Army ere long. “I am a senior at a local high school", he begins, “and am going steady with a girl who graduates this term. There is nothing I would like better upon graduation than to have the chance to attend college, and then to marry and to work in the profession of my choice. But—I may get drafted. “A lot of people are going around saying they feel sorry for the 4.8-year-olds and don’t think they should be drafted. Many mothers keep writing letters denouncing the proposed law. »I say they should keep quiet. For every 18-year-old who is drafted means one less veteran, married man or father will be called into active duty. It is easier for me, and boys like me, to leave their girl friends than for a married man to leave his wife and family. I think most boys would rather fight this war - than to make the veteran# fight another one." There speaks the spirit of American youth at its best. Very simply and in words all the more forceful ‘for their quiet simplicity, this lad refers to his fondness for a certain girl and his desire to go to college and study for a profession, in order that he may go to work, marry and establish a family. But be subordinates his personal inclinations uncomplainingly to his country’s need and is fair enough to recognize and admit that it will involve less dislocation in the domestic scheme if he and boys like him are called into service instead of married men. He accepts what seems to be the destiny of his generation with- - out whining and thinks that “most boys would rather fight this war than to make the -veterans fight another one.” Could anything be finer, more generous, more unselfish than the way this boy has spoken out on a question vitally affecting his whole future, perhaps his life itself? We do ’t know who his folks are, but manifestly they have raised a mighty fine boy — (Reprinted ■frnm tVi/a Pnannlro Music Colony In R&pp’lc (By Mary Elizabeth Hite) A wonder of wonders has come to our small, but exquisite county of Rappahannock. It has been chosen from out of the many for the summer home of a music colony. Has it been chosen because of its picturesque mountain scenery? - If so, a peculiarly beautiful spot must be selected by some sparkling mountain river or lake with the. Blue Ridge for background, only seeking cover when-the rain comes down.

Letter To Editor t read with interest. Hr, Miller’s article of February f, and noted his suggestion about sending our high school students to Front Royal. It is doubtful if either the Front Royal or Culpeper High School could take any more pupils now, but there are some ideas worth consideration. With State taxes high and Federal taxes terrible, there is left just one spot in which to practice any economy, and that is right here at home. The State of Virginia has 100 counties, many of them small, and a number of them poor like Rappahannock. In order to offer and to keep up for our people adequate schools and other facilities, it seems that it would be sound business to combine sereval am oil int.fl OTIC. Rappahannock county was formed from Culpeper back in the days of mud roads and no powered ve* ides. Now we have hard rood, cars, trucks, and buses. We have always kept close contact with Culpeper in all out business and many social arffsfrs. Why, ■ then, would it no' be reasonable for Rappahannock to rejoin Culpeper? The combination would still be smaller than Augusta and several other counties. The annual saving should be considerable. The new county of Culpeper would heed just one Court-House, Jail, Sheriff, Commonwealth Attorney, Treasurer, Commissioner of Revenue, Clerk, County Agent, Home Demonstration Agent, N u r s e, Welfare Board, Board of Supeyvisbrs, and P.M.A. Office. The saving would not be 100 per cent, but it should be enough to ease our tax burden somewhat, and to furnish better schools for our children without depriving us of any advantages that we now enjoy. This County is just too small and too poor to do for its people all the things that it is trying to do how. At the present time we hold two distinctions:.(1) we have been losing population since about 1880 and, (2) we vote “irght” in National elections. Since neither of these distinctions helps us to pay our bills, they could both be given . up without harm. Tired Taxpayer I | I ‘The Time Has Come * § | the Walrus said . « » j • #»■ .

There have been little changes in Rappahannock, Joe, but you know that. You were raised here and you know how we don’t take quickly to change. This winter has been rough, and iwhen we think of you fellows, it makes us ashamed that we are so comfortable in our warm homes. Following a heavy rain recently we had a quick freeze, and you remember all those places in the fields where water would rise after a thunder-shower in the summer; well, they froze over before they could drain off. Almost every farm had a skating pond, made to order. ' ' Mumps and whooping cough are running tiot in the schools. To drive up in front of a school building now frightens you. It sounds as if all the scholars are barking dogs. Grown folks who haven't had the mumps run in horror from the front porch if they arrive for a visit and find the young-fry swollen of jaw. It brings back memories when we were kids and the whole passel had whooping cough at the time of a wedding in the family. We howled so loud when they said we couldn’t attend that finally assent was given, but a firm rule was laid down and carried out: if one child began to cough, an adult was assigned to grab every chick and make a dash for the back .door and out of the house 1 * The mountains of the county have been in top glory.

He had the chains for sale, so why not take advantage of the occasion. Tea, Joe, the local boys are still industrious and pretty sharp of w't when it eomes to turning tn extra penny.

Combined government civilian employment at the end of last October totalled more than 6.4 million persons as compared with just under 4.5 million in the same 1940 month, a One of *the fellows whipped the others down by being able to get in at 6 o’clock in the morning and be rarin’ to go by 8, with only two hours of sleep. Coming back on .the plane, a few of them saw some rough riding. When one of the boys undertook to tease another about crashing, the answer came back quick enough, “That’s all right, I’m 25 years older than you are and that'means I’ve had 25 more years than you’ll get a whack at.” The county is pondering the question of building a school for the high school kids. The folks are complaining: population in the county is decreasing, yet school population is increasing—why is that? Taxes are high enough, and slated to .be higher, and folks just don’t see where the money is to come from. It’s the same hue and cry all over the country, and Rappahannock is just joining in. There’s going to be a summer music colony in the county. Yes, the county is going "long hair” and it’s the kind the barber can’t eradicate? Before long maybe we’ll be so elevated in tbe music realm that the kids will substitute the Mozart Minuet for “Ring around the Rosy.” I would like for us both to live long enough to see the gee-tars abandoned for the harp and hear us Mountain Williams come- striding down the road, jugonshoulder, yodeling ‘The female of the species will be appareled in sleeping gyarments of a scarlet hue at the hour of her arrival.” You won’t find any trouble getting adjusted when you get back home in the county. That longlegged Bill Lyne is still here, going at break-neck speed with his coat-tails flying behind. Miss Louise still hi’sts a window at Sperryville and ydls at a passer-by. Cheese Oden hasn’t improved a bit; he still makes his daily rounds and teases anyone he can find. The Lyle Millers still make their daily trip to Washington in the morning for the mail and to Sperryville for a visit in the afternoon. You’ll find the usual sights, Amissville, Woodville, Flint Hill, and down in the F. T.

Payrolls Sot Now High The total government civilian payroll last October was up to a new record high of more than $1| billions a month, equivalent to an annual rate of over f 18i billions, as compared with $699 millions a month or an annual rate of lea than f 7 billions in the same 1940 month. Thus the increase in the dollar payroll figure has been 174 per cent between both periods. The latest payroll cost figure was about $300 millions a month above the comparable figure in the middle of 1946 even though total government civilian employment then was several hundred thousand higher than last October because of the sixe of the Federal civilian establishment built up during the war. —x In the light of current conditions and the emergency facing the nation, the significant factor in the public employment situation . is that payroll costs have risen at a much faster rate than has the increase in the number of government civilian jobs. For the last decade as a whole, this rate of dollar payroll increase in the aggregate has been more than four 1 times as great as the pet rise in • the overall number of government civilian employes. The cojit of living, of course, has shown a marked rise over the decade, and higher salaries for public employees have been both understandahle and necessary under' the circumstances. The Need for Economy - , But government activities havq expanded with thd growth of population and new services have been added as well. Whatever tho „ justification for such developments in normal times, one of the hard realities of today’s crisis is the recognized need for cutting all non-military expenditures to the bone at every level of government in view of the great size and cost of the rearmament program. Such action is the more necessary because of the tax load already borne by the public and business and the certainty of even higher taxes to come.Under the circumstances, it is an inescapable responsibility of Federal, state and local authorities to keep the public civilian payroll down in the search for economy in all non-military activities. The responsibility is greatest in the Federal sphere, both because of the need for providing leadership to the nation' Pitts Park THEATRE Front Royal, Virginia THUBS. - FBI., FEB. 15 i 18 JAMES STEWABT V . . ■' —in— ■■ * “The Jackpot” SATURDAY, FEBBUAB* 17 ALEXIS* SMITH >1 ' v-.

M and Payroll Treads An analysis of the public employment figures of the decade shows that the number of Federal civilian employes rose from' 1.1 million in October, 1940 to a record high of more than 8.8 million in July, 1946, at the peak of the wartime expansion. The number then declined to total 2.1 million last October, a level still nearly double the 1940 figure. The Federal civilian payroll, however, has fallen much less sharply than has the number of jobs. It amounted to $686 millions a month lost October, a decline of about 1150 miffioBs a month or',p less than 20 per cent from the wartime high, as. compared with a Federal civilian employment drop of 45 per cent in the period. State and local employment " has shown a marked increase since the end of World War II after having declined in the (wartime period. The total number of combined state and local jobholders last October'-was 4.0 million, up IVa million since 1945 arid nearly a million since 1940. The'dollar payroll figure was 9915 millions a month in October, 1960 as against $468 millions a month in the corresponding 1-945 month and $889 millions a month „ in October, 1940.

Prices Of Drug Store ^ ;* Products Resist Inflation ' Prices of drug store products sold under fair trade rose only 7.4 per cent from January 1, 1947 to December 7, 1951 in the face of inflation pressures which forced the over all consumer price index to an all-time high, according to a survey made public in Virginia by J. Curtis Nottingham, secretary of the Virginia Pharmaceutical Association. The study was mack- for the Bureau of/ Education on Fair Trade by McKesson A-Robbins, Inc. from its extensive price and sales datf. It coders products which account for nine-tenths of the $2,400,000,000 annual drug store sales volume in' proprietaries, pharmaceuticals, toiletries and sundries. ’ _ The eurvey revealed that fair* traded drug products increased 10.5 per cen+ from pre-war 1939 to December 1, 1950, compared with a 75.0 per cent rise in the cast of living as shown by the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics index. Fair trade’s ability to stabilize prices was achieved during a' period “of the greatest inflation-.ary'pressures in this country in modern times.” Purpose of the 'unrey, Mr. Nottingham said, was to analyze the effects of rising manufacturing and distributing cost on'fair trade drug prices since January 1, 1947, terminal date of a previous study conducted by the National Assoc FOR A SHORT TIME ,_ WE ARE HAVING A TRADE-IN WATCH SALE .

The latter surrey disclosed a 3.1 per cent increase in the fair trade prices of 7,384 drug store articles from 1939 to 1947. In the same period, government figures showed a 93.3 per cent rise in food prices, and 59 per cent in the overall cost of living. From all the factual evidence adduced from its statistical data, the Bureau notes these conclusions in its suvey: 1. Fair-trade drug products have gone up 10.5 per cent from prewar 1939 to December 1, 1950 in the face of the greatest inflationary pressures in this country in modern times. During the same period non-fair-traded drug products rose 28.7 p$r cent . . . 2.

F. White,5FHA Supervisor -for Culpeper, Madison and Rappahannock counties said today. .. Supervised loans enable small owrter-operatofs, unable to get suitable credit elsewhere.to make a wide range of improvements including drainage, land clearing and fencing, basic soil treatments, establishment of permanent seedings, construction of additional buildings for livestock and poultry, repair of homes and farm buildings, and development of water supplies. “This development work," White commented, “will put our farm land in better condition to meet the demands likely to be placed upon it for food production in the critical months ahead. Now as we enter a large-scale defense program, we must consider the contribution scores of small fanners can make in increasing their output of farm commodities if they have productive land and , are furnished the necessary credit and fanning guidance." ' During 1950, several farmers in Rappahannock county made applications to develop their farms and to enlarge an under-size family-type farm. These loans have been approved and will be closed within a few weeks. , In the past year, one family in Culpeper county borrowed to buy a farm. This loan was made to a veteran and the loan was closed in November. Pour families in Madison county obtained loans un-' der the farm housing program ‘o build and repair homes and farm buildings. In addition £3 families in this area obtained FHA loans to buy feed, fertilizer, equipment, livestock, and supplies to operate farms. The, operating credit was used almost entirely to help the farmers reorganize and adjust their work to changing conditions and to aid veterans and other young farmers in getting a good start. The adjustment need was ^ also sewed in the farm ownership , program with more loans than ever before used for readjustment of farming operations through enlargement or development of m-— Vdejuate units. Families also received FHA guidance in planning and making these changes. Boston Baked Beans Served With Molasses Distinction Come Saturday night, many a New England household sit* to a repast of appetizing, molasses-sweeterfed baked beans plus brown bread.

W, Woodson, Jr.,. Superintendent of State Police and Executive Chairman of the Governor’s Highway Safety Committee, as the year’s first month closed with an unofficial &4 deaths which (were''13 less than for the same month of I960. If this reduction could continue, at the same rate all during the year. Colonel Woodson pointed out, some 152 lives could be saved on the basis of last year’s death' toll. Pedestrian deaths dropped from 24 to 16.. Concretely, Colonel Woodson gave consistent bad Veather as a reason for the saving of these lives, since during bad weather most drivers make allowances for dangerous conditions. He stated also that the reduction is all the more commendable in that bad weather failed to prevent a 16 per cent rise in traffic volumes. On the other hand, Colonel Woodson felt that the sterner attitudes of many Virginia courts coupled with the full realization of Virginia’s.disgraceful 1050 record no doubt had their impact. At the same time, Colonel Woodson annoqnced that Virginia’s 1950 toll had dropped from, the first tabulation of 908 to 305 but the1 late reports quite possibly - could- bring it even higher than 908. The reduction was occasioned by an erroneous report from another police department which listed two injured persons as dead and a pedestrian death which was ruled officially to be suicide. In the latter case, a mentally deranged person was observed to leap directly in the path of an automobile. Definite suicides of this type are not classified as traffic deaths, he'said. In spite of the reduction in January of 7? to 64, Colonel Woodsen warned that 64 was the highest death toll for the month since 1941, with the exception of last year, and that late reports were expected to bring some upward revision. "Supervised credit assistance," White aaid, "strengthens family farming in this locality and elsewhere. /This in turn strengthens our communities and builds a stronger defense for the Nation."

Apple Growers Told To Thin Trees Thinning apples will help Virginia growers produce high-quality fruit, and will promote more annual cropping, saya A. H. Teske, extension horticulturist at VPL He points out that apple growers are facing a serious labor and material'shortage, and cannot afford to produce‘large quantities ©f low-grade fruit—as they usual- * ly do when trees are allowed to overload in heavy crop years. Thinning fruit from overloaded trees will prevent overbearing. It will conserve plant-food substances; and will reduce tree breakage. * With a crop more uniform in size and color, there will be lees 2 low-grade fruit to handle at harvest time. Marketing problems will be reduced. . .,1*. Teake says there are three ways growers can thin their apples. In the past thinning the erop by pruning has not been recommended, but under present conditions, pruning can be used to good advantage. _ - A : Carefully pruning out week fruit wood will reduce the amount of small, poorly colored fruit by 25 per cent, without reducing yields. Pruning also makes it possible to get' more adequate spray coverage, and cut down oh waste of expensive spray chemicals. Removing down-growing branches and weak fruit wood throughout the bearing surface will provide *' more end better light to all parts of the tree. , - ■ A second method of thinning apples is by using dinitro and hormone chemicals. They can be recommended for orchards located on frost-free sites. The dinitro chemical sprays used during the pre-bloom and blossoming periods are more hazardous for orchards in areas where late spring frost may further reduce the fruit set. Hormone sprays applied in the post-bloom period are safer. ■ The third method of thinning apples is the old hand way of pulling off the fruit. The big advantage of hand thinning is that it gives the most desirable distribution of the crop, and can be done when all danger of frost is past. However, it is timedconsuming and more expensive than thinning by pruning or chemical sprays. It is 'Iso, in most cases, : done too late to get the fullest benefits. Use NEWS Classified Ads Virginia Receives ‘ IV Income From Forests Virginia's share of the income from her national forests this year ' amounted to $35,816—which will 4 *be divided among 30 counties itt ' the Blue Ridge and westward. J. W. O’Byrne, forester at VPI, said the sum represents 25 per cent of hte total; and that another 10 per cent (amounting to. ' $14,330 this year) is set aside to construct roads and trails within the forests. , O’Byrne points out, however, that the greatest value of these forests is not the cash income, nor the timber. It is the water they provide for domestic and industrial use. Almost every city, town, and village in the Shenandoah valley, he says, is dependent on watersheds within the George Washington National Forest. Reservoirs from which Woodstock, Harrisonburg, Staunton, Clifton Forge, and Lynchburg get their supplies are located in the same forest. Plans are underway for asimilar service to Stuarts Draft and nearby rural areas. "In level country, timber may be the most valuable produce of the forest, but in the mountains it is water,” says O’Byrne. Disease Controls Listed For Cherries, Plums A disease which makes a knotty black growth on the twigs of cherries and plums often plagues home fruit growers, says John M. Amos, associate plant pathologist at VPL Although control measures for -* heavy infestations are not very satisfactory, pruning out all infected wood will help fight infestations, Amos says. Make the cuts 4 to 6 inches below the knots. Burn the wood that is pruned out, because it can spread infection. The knots usually do not show up until the second year; so two years of pruning are necessary to make satisfactory headway against the unsightly disease. *: Another control practice is to check wild plums or other wild trees in the neighborhood. Sprays containing copper, applied for leaf-spot disease control, also will help control black knotdisease. FARM WOODLANDS ^ (By Caleb M. Pennock) As with many things, trees aren't appreciated until they are scarce, /t one time our vast forest reserves seemed inexhaustable. We hacked and sawed every tree we came to without thinking about their eventual replacement. Due to careless thinkers, the cry “Woodman, spdre that tree” has come to meaff much more than a phrase of classical sentiment. The trees found by the early settlers have largely disappeared. Our timber areas in Virginia are growing only about one-half of the commercial timber crop of Orange and Semi-Sweet Chocolate Make Novel Flavor Combination Newest of dessert treats combine the flavors of fresh orange and semi-sweet chocolate.

Moreover, the “cultivation” and harvesting of the crop can be done when there is no conflict with other work. In other words, when timber is your crop you don’t have that old fight of haying needing to be done just when the corn needs cultivating. COMDR.

In linn with the state’s current emphasis of* aiding the after-dark motorist, 723 miles were marked with teflectorized paint and 28® miles with standard white paint.7 Reflecfcorized paint has minnti glass: beads Which produce a brilliant whiteness under car lights at night. Total cost of the centerline program in the 13-county Culpeper district was 152,216.52. Counties In the district include Albemarle, Arlington, Culpeper, Fairfax, Fauquier, Fluvann' , Greene, Loudoun, Louisa, Madison, Orange, Prince William, and Rappahannock. Throughout the state, 7776 miles wefe marked duifng tlM ,4*50 season. Of these, 5^80 miles yj .'Were marked with the reftectorised paint. In the previous year, only 1,878 of a total of 7,611 miles were painted with the reflectorised si centerline. . wf Total cost of the work through* . S out the state in 1950 was $335,468. Because of increased prices along the line, highway department engineers estimate that' the' 1951 cost will exceed the 1950 .marking price by some $75,000.

Notice has recently been received^ at Shenandoah National Park that the Board on Geographic Names, U.S. Department of the Interior has approved the name “Pollock Knob” for a prominent mountain peak in Shenandoah National Park near the Skyland area. Previously unnamed, this promontory is located three quarters of a mile south of Skyland and is the next peak immediately south of Busbytop. Rising steeply on its western and southern slopes to an elevation of 3580 feet above sea level, Pollock Knob is especially prominent from the Timber Hollow Overlook on the Skyline Drive. Pollock Knob has been named to honor the late George Freeman Pollock, widely known as the founder of Skyland, who in 1924 and the decade following, played a vital role in the selection and establishment of Shenandoah National Park. In 1886, Mr. Pollock made his first trip to the Skyland area which is close to the 4000 foot Stony Man mountain and which adjoined what was known then as Nicholson Free State Hollow. Becoming enchanted with the area, he saw its great possibilities as a recreational site and in 1894, built Stony Man Chunp which not long after became Skyland. In the course of developing- Skyland as a famous mountain resort, Mr. Pollock succeeded in protecting much of that part of the Blue Ridge from rampant forest fires and timber exploitation. ' In February, 1924, a commission was appointed ^to recommend a site for a' national park in the Southern Appalachians. Mr. Pollock, along with others, believed that Skyland region of the Blue Ridge was the best site, and with much personal expense and endless effort, began a campaign to prove it. Once, when Mrs. Pollock urged him to give up Skyland, he said, “Some day Skyland will become part of a national park and I am going to keep that place no matter how difficult it is.’i And, “I am going to do everything in my power to build it (Skyland) into a national park.” He fulfilled this promise to the fullest extent when on December 26, 1935 Shen. andoah National Park became established by law—11 years after Mr, Pollock pledged himself to the project. > George Freeman Pollock was a colorful personality, a master showman, and among the dominant figures associated with the establishment of Shenandoah National Park. He died on September 8, 1919 at the age of 80. 'In proposing the name “Pollock Knob” for an appropriate natural feature, "the National Park Servicers thus assured a lasting commemoration of Mr. PollockY place in Shenandoah National Park histoft. ~ YOUTH CAMP PLANNED FOR AUGUST 19-19 The annual leadership training camp for young men and women has been scheduled for August 16-19 at Camp Farrar, Virginia Reach, W.

Mow, Jr.) fv :‘"i* "r Each year, many apples ar« produced in Vriginia which «w not suitable to place on the market for regular consumer uses. These apples are still good apples, but merely fail to meet the highei grade requirements because of such reasons as size, color, shape, •or other minor defects. If allowed to reach the fresh market, these apples would lower the reputation of Virginia apples and cause a loss to the industry. It has been suggested that it would be more profitable to the apple industry to dump these appies than to allow them to compete with the better grades of fruit on the open market. That may or may not be true, but even it it is true, it profits the industry more to use these apples for making various processed products where these socalled defects would not be of importance. IT, snouia oe cieariy uuuciawuu that these apples are good apples. Hotten or moldy apples, or apples with other defects which make them unfit for human consumption cannot *be used to make a food product. Both the Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act and the Virginia Food Act class as adulterated, any food consisting “in Whole or in part of any filthy, putrid, or decomposed substance or if it is otherwise unfit for food.” The term food means “articles used for food or drink for man or animals’.. Therefore any apple which falls in this classification must be dumped. But getting back to those apples which are below grade when judged by fresh fruit standards, let us see how they can be profitably used. Apples are processed in vari. ous ways; as whole baked apples, apple slices (canned or frozen), ..apple sauce, fried apples, or as dried apples. With the exceptions of baked and fried apples, all the other apples which go into these products must be peeled. Therefore color and skin blemishes are of no importance as long as there are no defects which cannot be BARGAINS ______ '---€ - Four times daily,. 10, 12, 2, and 4 o'clock, there will be on sale some article of merchandise that is of unusual value.

The smeller the apple* ere, the more handling is required for a given weight of apples, end the smaller the yield. This in* creases the cost so that processors ere forced to insist on e 21inch apple or better, if they are to turn out a good product at e reasonable price. The apples for these products most be uniform in shape so that the mechanical peelers will function satisfactorily. Misshapen apples require tool much hand trimming, and again would increase the cost of production. Variety is also important both from a flavor pnd texture standpoint. A good characteristic flavor is necessary if the- processed product is to sell, and a firm texture is desired which will not break down and get mushy when processing. York Imperial, Stayman^ Winesap, Golden Delicious and Grimes Golden are apples which are produced in Virginia and are suitable for processing. After these products remove the larger more uniform apples from the scene, there are still many small misshapen apples which can be put to use. Such apples can be made into apple juice, wine,v brandy, vinegar, jelly, apple butter, and the residue from these operations used‘for the recovery of pectin and dried for animal feed. -The defects which kept these apples from going to the fresh market are of importance here, as long as the apples are free from rot, mold, worms or other conditions which might affect the final flavor. Variety again is important because of flavor and because of the differences in sugar, acid, and pectin content between the varieties \ The processing of these apple products is now an important hi— dustry, which puts many dollars annually into the orchardist’s pockets. But equally as important, it provides many wholesome nutritious, and varied food products for our tables the year around, at a reasonable price, made from a grade of apple which would not be of much value to the fresh market,' but which is still a good apple. Household Workers On Social Security ' (By Rath G. Daffy Mar./Alexandria S. S. Office) Housewives: If you have regularly employed household workers, you should be getting your “ducks in a row” for filing your first report on your employees. This report will be due after March 31 and before April 30. > Household workers may be maids, laundresses, cooks, housekeepers, gardeners, janitors, furnacemen, jiandymen, practical nurses, governesses, valets, butlers, chauffeurs, and other work- * ers who perform services of a household nature in or about a pri. Vate home other than on a farm operated for profit. - Whether or not the change covering household workers gives oldage and survivors insurance to an ’ employee in your home, and wheather or not you .have an obligation as an employer, can be determined by reading the leaflet "Do You Have a Maid?” In preparing this booklet, the Government bore in mind a statement made at a hearing before the Ways and Means Committee of the House of Representative when it was considering this amendment to the social security law. At that time, a (woman in favor of the measure said: “If you will just write your instructions so that we can understand them, you'll find us cooperative and willing to comply.” The booklet meets this request. It is available at Internal Revenue or Social Security offices and Post Offices everywhere. It contains a tear-off post card that you should fill out and mail to the Collector'of Internal Revenue, Richmond, Virginia, if it appears that your employee is covered by the new law. The Government must have a record of .all employers of regular household employees. ' In case either you or your husband is making .social security -re‘ porta for employees jin jrour busier in that report. You could then disregard the separate form for household employees. The Alexandria office is located at <815 King Street. Office hours are from 9:00 am to 5:00 p.m. on Monday through Friday.

Work Is Completed On New Transmission Line Work is now completed on the big 33,000 volt Northern Virginia Power Company transmission line loop from Front Royal, to Luray to SperryviUe, VLginia. The present installation affords a two-way source of electricity for N.V.P. customers of the area, assuring f more reliable and continuous power supply. Working through mountainous -Virginia terrain, utility company crews from Winchester, Charles Town,W.Va., Madison and Luray cooperatedv in the final phase of the 33kv loop project. The total cost of providing 33,000 volt loop service to customers in this territory is approximately a quarter of a million dollars. , As part of the big project, company crews constructed several miles of 33,000 volt line and revamped the old installation, consoverting it from 22 kv* to 33 kv. The revamping took in over 35 miles of line. Through the work of th6* various district crews, the loop project was" completed ahead of schedule, i The first and biggest step toward the completion of the high voltage loop was made in 1949 with the construction of the Front Royal - SperryviUe line. Since then, minor changes have been made and plans were being formulated for the remainder of the . project. As part of the. 33,000 volt loop installation, NVP Company crews also carried on a substation buildin* and reconversion program. This substationr work included the installation of all equipment necessary for four 33,000 volt circuits and two transformer banks at Luray, Virginia. Here also, a three bay steel tower, a 8,000 kv transformer and three 15kv oil circuit breakers were put into service. Cost: Over $81,000. A $28,000 substation was erected at Sperryville, Virginia. Structures were installed with air break switches in preparation for oil circuit breakers in the future. At Brightwood, Virginia transformer connections were, changed from 22,000 volts to 33000 volts.

A five per cent decline in the West nearly off-sets the increase in q£her sections of teh country. With industrial employment and consumer income soaring to new heights, growers anticipate a strong demand for turkey meat. High red meat prices can be counted on to make turkey a relatively attractive buy for the' consumer, Livermore says. He reports that many growers are specializing in the Beltsville White breed in response to a growing consumer preference for small size bird. This means that even though znofre turkeys are grown 'this year, the total pounds _qf.”Mat_ produced. may . Aeclipa^. •“ •Another initovatlofi hi tlfe key business is that of marketing a turkey “broiler." This is the same turkey, usually a Beltsville White, but the bird is marketed earlier, at five to eight pounds, before it reaches full growth, Livermore says. • > I uncey broilers are more costiy to produce and market, but many consumers apparently prefer to buy fearer pounds of turkey at one time, and buying it often* er. The broilers are marketed earlier in the season, and some are now being grown in off-eeason periods. This means a smaller per* centage of the total crop will be available on the fall market. “The tradition of eating turkey only at Thanksgiving and Christmas is rapidly being changed to a habit of eating turkey the year Vound.

Improvement begins after about four weeks. The paroxysms then grow milder and' less frequent and the patient becomes interested in play again, though many weeks may pass before Recovery is complete. Why It Is Dangerous Even the sturdiest children find these symptoms distressing. Both the strong and the weak suffer grave danger from them. The violent and repeated coughing may overstrain and weaken muscles and tissues of the abdomen, break blood vessels, andihjure the heart and lungs. The patient, due to his weakened condition, may get pneumonia germs from almost anyone with a cold or even from apparently healthy friends and relatives. Ninety per cent of the -whooping eough deaths are from pneumonia. Hemorrhages, ruptures, infected ears and mastoiditis also are common complications. Prevention end Treatment Your physician can do much to keep your child from having whooping cough. If he already .... has it, th« doctor can alleviate tine symptoms, ward off complications and protect other Children. Ask his advice about whooping cough vaccine, which usually prevents its development entirely or makes it much milder. Most babies should have the vaccine when they are about three or six months old to protect them during the dangerous first and second years because it saves life: * - In the care of actual whooping cough cases, rest in bed is help— ful in the early catarrhal stages as well as in the exhausting later stages. Rest eaves strength and helps prevent complications. To maintain proper nutrition is essential though this, as already indicated, is made difficult .by frequent vomiting of food. When vomiting occurs shortly after taking food, <the patient should be refed without waiting for a regular mealtime. It is better to offer frequent small servings of .food, than to depend on regular meals that are. not retained. “ Though there are no special drugs or antitoxins for actually curing whooping cough, your phycisian’s advice and the treatment he recommends will make things much safer and easier for the patient. :£i Gorni RuIm * For Well Children— Keep children away from people with colds and coughs; consult your doctor about whooping cough vaccine. For Sick Children—Keep your children and visitors from the sick* room; collect on paper tissue all mucus coughed up and destroy it by burning; use separate dishes for the patient and sterilize them after use by boiling; keep the patient's playthings in his bedroom. Remember, whooping cough is dangerous! - , •Camps—-Its Ctwn un! Symptsms This disease is caused by a definite disease producing organism known as a virus, one which normally attacks the salivary glands of the body of the unprotected person. After exposure to the disease usually a period of 14 to 21 days is required before illness develops. Mumps is recognised by the swelling and tenderness of salivary glands in front of the ears and below the jaws. There may be only one gland infected, or the disease may locate in all salivary glands. Fever is present from the onset and is of slight or moderate level. Malaise occurs of varied degrees and this is accompanied by sore throat and difficulty in swallowing. The entire illness generally lasts one week to ten days" in the uncoihplicated case. Method of Spread Mumps is highly contagious and others may be infected before the nature of the disease is apparent. The virus is spread by direct contact with the mumps case. Whenever possible the case should be separated from unprotected persons. The disease may be spread from the patient several days before onset and while symptoms persist. - Prevention As yet no vaccine or other preparation has been developed or is available for the permanent prevention of mumps. Most cases appear in children of elementary school age, and the illness then is usually of moderate nature. Since the danger of mumps is due to the complications that may occur after puberty, it is held desirable by many health authori 1’ Kitchen Blues? Make it a pleasure to work la your kitchen!
