WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY, MARCH 15. 1951 $2.00 Per Year — Fire Prevention Plans Discussed In Flint Hill Flint Hill gathered Tuesday even* ing in an effort to devise some means of additional fire protection for the town. The meeting was well attended in spite of very bad weather. Committees were appointed to make investigations and plans to be presented at another meeting Friday evening, 7:30, March 23, at Flint Hill school. > At this meeting a report will be made by a committee invest!* gating the possibility of construct* ing ponds or reservoirs at the north and south ends of the town. The committee will study possible locations of such ponds or reservoirs and report on their study. Many suggestions were made at the former meeting and the future meeting will be for planning. The serious-minded citisens are making this study and planning for their protection in the future. Flint Hill has seen some very destructive fires in the past few years, and the property owners mean td do something to prevent future loss by fire. Experiences with fire in Flint Mill are fresh in the minds of the citizens from the destruction of the Williams house last year, and many remember the burning of the Armentrout house, where the Miller home now is. Within the past few years two barns have been destroyed by fire, the Tucker Cooksey barn and the barn on Andrew Rucker's place. All interested citisens are invited to attend the meeting March 28. This will represent a cooperative, concerted effort to protect property from fire and all citizens should be interested, Washington W. S. C. S.

Lyne County Agent You gardeners don’t forget the discussion on Vegetables and Small Fruit Production, to include recommended varieties, disease and insect control, that will ibe held at the Fire House in Washington tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 o’clock. Messers Scott and Aroian of VPI will lead the discussions. * ¥ ¥ Good Ladino pasture has produced per man hour: six times as much feed as corn, nine times that from oats and, ten times that of barley! * * * It is encouraging to note continued interest among our farmers in having their merchantable timber cruised prior to offering it for sale. Rappahannock farmers who recently have had or soon will have their timber cruised included Mrs. Mildred Wood Maney, C. R. Wire and C. J. Miller. The cruise of Mrs. Maney’s timber resulted in a total of 240,000 feet of which a decided majority was poplar and thus should demand a very attractive price. In marketing timber land owners are advised never to sell just toe “cream’* of the species such as short leaf pine and poplar even though the price for these trees may appear attractive. ¥ * ¥ Your County Agent and parttime Assistant County Agent will attend an Extension Wjopfcers Short Course at VPI March 19 to 81 inclusive. ¥ * ¥ Recommended new varieties of some of the seed now being planted by farmers are: Oats, winterArlington, Spring-Andrewj Red Clover, Kenland, Northern Virginia grown Orchard Grass still proves to be the best strain on the> market. Kansas Common Alfalfa seed will not be available this year, Buffalo is the next best variety likely available. ¥ ¥ ¥ Rappahannock farmers interested in procuring extra labor for apple harvest this fall should meet at Wood Bros. Packing House at 7:30 o’clock in the evening of March 21 and express their needs. J; Marvin Powell, State Supervisor Emergency Farm Labor Program will be present for the purpose of getting an idea of what Rappahannock’s needs will be prior to his going to Florida to recruit labor. ¥ •¥ ¥ Of the twenty-strains of orchard grass tested at the Piedmont Field Station at Orange to determine forage and hay production capabilities all the Virginia strains were decidedly inferior. A new orchard grass, F.C.22884, which is not on the market as yet and which was developed by the USD A has proven superior to the Virginia strains in forage, hay and seed production and produced a three year average of 856 lbs. of seed per acre. ¥ ¥ ¥ Williamsburg and Atlantic Alfalfa varieties produced 12 and 13 per cent (respectively) more hay at Orange in the past five years than did the next best variety Kansas Common. Some At-i lantic seed has been on the market however the Williamsburg haa yet become available and the 1950 Kansas Common seed crop was a complete failure. <■" ¥ ¥ ¥ ’Kenland Red Clover last year produced almost a ten more*tagg! idst'y%*' i&'an did Virginia adapted « (northern neck) seed.

Byrd Will Ask Dissolution of RFCThe follbwing statement was issued March 14 from the office of Senator Harry F. Byrd: I will introduce tomorrow a bill providing for the dissolution of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. The legislation will provide that the banking activities of the corporation shall be liquidated by the Secretary of the Treasury. The receipts from such liquidation, estimated at approximately $1 billion, shall be applied to a curtailment of the public debt. It also provides that the funetions of the RFC relating to the rubber program, (the tin program and the abaca program, such tot ing necessary to national defense, shall be transferred to Mr. C. E. Wilson, Director of the Office oft Defense Mobilization. The administrative cost of the RFC is approximately |20 million * year. Its abolition is recommend* ed by the Hoover Commission and by Mr. Jesse Jones, its highly respected original chairman. The liquidation of the RFC would reduce Federal personnel by 8,000. With a Federal debt of 8260billion, it does not seem reasonable to me that the Federal Government should borrow money to make loans such as am ordinary banking institution. The RFC has been brought into such disrepute that it has lost the confidence of the American people. It began as a depression measure in 1932 and, for a time, served a useful purpose, but any business industry with proper credit can now obtain funds through ordinary banking channels. The RFC is now so permeated with political favoritism that it should be completely cleaned out. There is an old saying that you cannot measure a snake until it is dead. I think this will apply to the RFC as a non-fx>litical liquidation of this agency will, in my judgment, disclose many evidences of favoritism, collusion, improper influence, and perhaps criminal practices. It is an agency which is being used as a work shop by getnrich-qiuick political preditors. It has contributed in a large way to political moral delinquency and has done and is doing much to cause the people to lose fath in their government. If the legislation is enacted, I hope the Secretary of the Treasury will designate as the liquidator Jesse Jones, who is not only familiar with its ramifications but has the courage to perform the task without fear or favor. Auto Tags On Sale Today At Hampton Service Sta. New 1951 automobile tags go on sale today at Hampton Inn and Service Station, on Route 522, one mile south-west of Washington.

Subscription:_— $2.00 a year The Red Cross Is You „ “W* fmcm m grueling period of bird work, self-denial end danger. The times ere unusual and so will be the effort we shall all be called upon to make. Of all the nongovernmental agencies of the American people, the Red Cross will hare to bear the hoariest burden."*— Gen. Con. C. Marshall. Ton often hear it' said that "women are the practical sex." It is mother who sews on the buttons and repairs the rips and tears in the family’s clothes; it is she who applies the first aid to cuts and bruises, and it is most often a woman who nurses the sick and injured back to health. She faces these tasks, when she must face them, without fear; if she has any question it is one to which she doesn’t expeet an answer—“If I didn’t do it, who would?” She knows the answer to that one: “Women are the practical sex.” In the present status of world affairs, there are many questions about war and peace which no woman or man can answer, but here are some facts about which there is no question: 1—For the first time in the history of the United States, there is now an' enemy capable of attacking our homeland at any time. 2—Modern atomic weapons change all previout concepts of offensive and defensive warfare. 3—The role of the Red Cross in civil defense is more important now than it ever has been before. The American Red Cross is today embarked on what may be the greatest work in its 69-year-old history. At government request, it has undertaken the task of providing the cation with a trained first-aid force of 20,000,000. That’s almost one ou^ of every seven people in the country. This (program 3s not limited to the needs of civil defense alone, but is a valuable peacetime program being expanded to meet emergency. To have one member in each family trained and responsible for the care of its own members is good insurance any time. Again, it is the women who must be “practical.” The Red Cross must train 250,000 nurses’ aides and hundreds of thousands of housewives in home nursing. The goal for the coming year is 700,000 women newly trained and 300,000, with previous training, drawn back into service. If you don’t do it, who will? (The above editorial is reprinted from the Ladies Home Journal, March, 1951, at the request of Mrs. D. D. Miller, chairman of the Rappahannock Red Cross, in the interest of the Red Cross Fund Drive during this month.) No, It Isnt Your House That's Burning! It’s a cold winter night. Sleet and rain driven by a fresh gale lash against the windows. The bed is snug and warm as you cuddle down to your dream. Suddenly the shrill moan, the insistent wail of a siren rises above the wind. You waken suddenly tense. Fire! The siren wail rises in its clamor. Fire! You rise momentarily upon one elbow listening as the siren wails on, then gradually dies out. " Your moment of terror passes, it’s not your house that is burning. The bed is snug and warm as you nuzzle in and doze off to sleep. But somebody’s bouse is on fire! Somewhere in the cold and dark som^e is injanger,' *cf»ooK»'-w terror.: reason. The home, the accumulations of a lifetime are going up in smoke. Somewhere an anguished, grief stricken parent may be wringing his hands helplessly because his child is trapped and he cannot reach him. The Volunteer Fireman, too, , hears the moan of the siren. He is tired after a hard days work. He, too fafears the sleet, rattle against the windows. His bed-is ' snug and warm to him, also. But he does not snuggle back down to his dream. Hastily he crawls out of bed, pulls on his clothes and hastens to the firehouse or the scene of the fire. The night is dark and slippery as he hurtles along. iA plunging fire engine racing , through Hie night is a dangerous thing. But somebody’s life is in danger, somebody's child trapped, some anguished parent helpless, his home in flames. Reflect a moment i It could be your house going op in roaring flatten. It eoald be your child trap ped upstairs. Consider the Volunteer Fireman : and his work. He gets no pay. He operates under no strict orders from his superiors. When he v risks his life he does so because oil his love for humanity and his felt low man. He seldom gets thanks. He is your neighbor ■who constantly stands guard to help save your life and property. Remember these things whenever your Volunteer Fire Department asks you to help pay for equipment, which is used to save your lives and your property. -—Northumberland Echo To the Editor:——• - General Vandenburg, in a re-' cent issue of the Saturday Evening Post, says in effect that we must prepare for the bombing in this country of our principal targets. Among the most strategic targets will be the big aluminum . producers and fabricators. However, 90% of all companies in the country who know how to fabricate aluminum are small businesses—infact, most of them are tiny businesses; but, even so, they employ a total of over 150,000 men and represent $700,000,000 in the American economy. And, don’t forget for one minute that this 100-million dollars is all subject to Federal taxes which are so urgently needed to finance our defense efforts. I am one of over 25,000 of these small businesses that will be “choked off” from getting the secondary aluminum for home usage; judging from the “death sentence” (as Regulation M-7 is grimly call-< ed these days) that has been handed down by the NPA in Washington (D.C.) fellows like me are going to be driven out of business. My business is based on products made from aluminum—sash, storm windows, doors, etc., and we are important in maintenance, improvement and repair of the nation’s homes. The aluminum we need for our jobs is known in the trade is “secondary,” sometimes called scrap. The foolish thing about this short-sighted ruling by NPA is that the big industries don’t touch scrap aluminum. In 1944, for instance, more than 600,000,000 pounds of secondary! aluminum was discarded by aircraft plants. Now only a few hundred tons would cover the needs of the home maintenance! and repair men like me. . You remember toward the end1 of the last war, when the government backed private industry for the first time, in an effort to encourage insulation to save fuel, which was of prime importance in transportation of troops, materials, and equipment! We can, according to a national survey, save up to 30% on a homemaker’s fuel bill; and that translates into a lot of coal-care and a lot of transportation facilities that are going to be sorely needed pretty quickly. The small plants who had the “know-how” and the equipment to handle aluminum kept production lines going, whereas the big, wellknown factories were bombed out by German planes. We could do the same thing here, if need be, ’cause, by golly, Oshkosh is closer to Moscow today than Berlin was to Coventry back in 1940. We need that dispersal of bombing targets that small businesses who know how to handle aluminum— the metal of the air—can provide, urely, if it comes, this will be another air war! It would seem to fne that if General Vandenburg is right, we should prepare to have a second line of industrial defense. I think it is high time that the tiny businessmen who are so essential to the nation’s economy as well as>. its security should speak out. I feel sure that our elected representatives can be induced to take the long -siew and see to it that we really prepaer right now for the worst. PAUL WALKER. *The Time Hat Come * tW Wdm Mid . . . With Saturday coming up St. Patrick’s Day, it'll be time to plant Irish potatoes. With city residents, it’ll be time to go see the Irish parades. They tell pie that 75% of the policemen in New York City are Irishmen. Why? I asked the barber and he $aid perhaps H was because they are heavy and robust, well suited for policing duties. (He tactfully overlooked the flat feet.) But, came back the argument, the Germans, Swede*, and Norwegians are considered a large race, also; why are they not policemen? So far there ie no answer. ItV just a fact; policemen are Irishmen, and they parade in the cities) on St. Patrick's day. Explanations of the whys and wherefore will have to come from some eon of Erin—my forebears are listed as MacDonald, Ferguson, and several others who can say “it's § (See WALRUS Page S) THE PERSONAL INCOME DOLLAR Now and in 194Q) HOfBfTO*S INCOME OTNEK imiM fm KEfUKIt 1m INVESTED SAVRKS* ROHUETOftS MCQME RETUmON INVESTED mm* •UlNTAlSk DMOfNO* AMO PERSONAL INTEREST INCOMI _rmAtnjvjNtrmni or urc MjunANa Pay-a*-You-Go Budget Call* iFor Non-Military Spending Cut First Any question to the contrary, there is no doubt of the nation's ability to pay-as-you-go for a rearmament program of the size outlined by President Truman provided all non-military Government expenditures are cut to the bone, according to an analysis of Federal taxation and spending records of the last war re-interpreted in terms of today’s conditions. Nor, as the records indicate, should accomplishing this call for any significantly greater hardships or financial sacrifices than the people end the economy have already shown they can bear and . take in their stride. As a matter of fact, in the light of present and prospective income and production trends, the budget for the 1052 fiscal year could be balanced, and even a surplus shown besides, just by restoring the relationship between Federal revenues and gross national product that prevailed at the heigh); of World War II if, at the same time, the level of non-military spending of that period was also in effect. The Time for Courage Thus the question of balancing the budget is not so much ability or capacity to pay, but rather the courage and determination to impose the necessary economies as well as the necessary taxes. A simple fact, too frequently overlooked, is that every dollar of Government spending is a charge on the whole economy and its pro. ductivity, and must be paid. It must never be forgotten either that it is the people who foot the bill, through the prices they pay for everyday necessities of life as well as through direct taxes on their earnings and incomes. This is inescapable, for borrowing can merely.postpone the day of reckoning. And that is why, with the Federal budget so big and the tax burden already so heavy, every possible economy in Government spending should be made before new taxes are taken up. There is too much at stake now for stopgap measures and the “quickie" approach. The importance of a balanced .budget under today’s conditions is beyond controversy. It is the only effective way of attacking the present threat of inflation at its source by preventing a further expansion in the record money supply. The importance of this action is heightened as the production of civilian goods is increasingly curtailed. Wage-price stabilization, credit restrictions and other controls can help to (hold the price line, but they treat the symptoms of the disease and not the inflation virus itself. As to the nation’s capacity to pay on the barrel head for a rearmament program of present dimensions, certain basic facts stand out when the World War II situation is compared with now.

Gross national product in the fourth quarter of 1950 was at an annual rate of |297 billions, as estimated bp the Council of Economic Advisors, compared with an average of under |215 billions for the 1944* 46 period. An annual rate of at least 5300 billions, therefore, appears to be a conservative assumption for the immediately foreseeable future. The decline in the dollar’s buying power since the end of the war doesn’t affect the validity of the comparison with respect to revenue potentials. Another fact is that Federal revenues represented approximately 21 per cent of the gross national product in each of the wartime years of 1944 and 1945. The ratio subsequently declined, falling to 13 per cent for 1960._ The trend has since been reversed but the percentage is still well under the wartime peak. Rise in Non-Military . Spending A third fact is the very great increase since the last war in spending outside the budget classification of military services. Such spending totalled 614.1 billions in the 1946 fiscal year, a record up to that time. The comparable figure in the President’s recent budget message is $30.2 billions, and this contains billions of dollars above the 1946 level outside of such areas as atomic energy, interest on the public debt, and military aid for our Atlantic Pact allies. * Restoration of the wartime proportion of Federal revenues to a gross national product of a size now indicated would bring about 663 lbilions into the Government coffers. The President’s request for 610 billions in additional taxation is substantially in line with this ratio: But with the budget so inflated in the non-military areas, such a boost in the tax burden at this time may not be necessary if the strictest economy is practiced, and if all non-essentials are cut out of the budget.

The Food Add Drug Administration says that blackstrap molasses won't do everything for your health that the fellow"' claims. In fact, the ’food-and-drug-whatsit filed a complaint in Federal Court, and government agents seized a shipment of molasses and 25 copies of the fellow's book. They charged ‘that labels on the ’molasses failed to specify the blackstrap’s vitamin, mineral, and other properties as Why put it off any longer? Drop by today and place your Spring order ^ith us.

Here was a fellow who ‘suggested a nice, cheap way to improve your health and looks.' And nine chances out of ten, a lot of people believed him and were helped by the diet of blackstrap molasses. Leastways, no one was hurt by it. But the fellow’s in a mess of trouble—just from trying to help other people and, incidentally, to help himself get along better in this hard, cold, cruel world. .000 Too many times when things arises: I should have stayed at home, anyway; I had no business there. It brings to mind the story of the man who shot a homing pigeon. When brought to task about the deed, he said. “I was shooting at a flock of crows. That pigeon was in mighty bad com-, pany." Many a time, when a story is repeated about an unfortunate mishap, the fellow’s statement returns to mind—a pigeon in a flock of crows . . . had no business there . . should have stayed where I belonged in the first place. .000 “I couldn’t find the Walrus column last week," reported a lady Tuesday morning. Well, ma’am, it was like this: last week was the one we “should of stood in bed." We printed the story on the board of supervisors meeting, and after printing three times that the tentative levy for the new school .was 15-cents, at the beginning of a new paragraph (where it stuck out like a sore thumb) the 15cents got switched backwards and read 51-centsl Then the tax budget bad to be printed and it was late coming in because it had to be typed again after the board meeting was over. That threw out Emily B. Miller’s column on “Records” of former days in the county. Next in the order of mistakes and upsets is the explanation for your missing the Walrus. The Walrus was there, all right, reposing in new-found dignity under the Miller name and pretending to be “Records.” The clumsy animal is back in place this week, and I can’s see as how putting on airs last week did a bit of good. The Walrus is still as inane as formerly.

Privately leased space has been obtained and the new location for the headquarters of navy recruit ing in Virginia will be at 323 East Grace Street in downtown Richmond. Some Insecticides Make Soil Toxic To Plants, rr Others Do Not How often, and for bow long, some of the new chemical insecticides can be applied to crop land without damaging crop yields is a question being posed these days. Entomologists at VPI say five ■years' research at the USDA Plant Industry Station at BeltsviUe, Md., has shown that some of the new insecticides remain surprisingly toxic in the soil, while others do not. For instance, 100 povlnds of DDT per acre or more applied to soil in 1945 has lost little of its toxic effect to date. S m a 11 e r amounts applied to crops as needed to control insects accumulate in the soil over the years. Tests with several different field and truck garden crops showed, too, that many of them are in sode degree sensitive to large doses of insecticides mixed in the soil. All but 3 of 17 garden and field crops grown in greenhouse trials showed some sensitivity to DDT, and seven were classed as highly sensitive. Growth of the crop was reduced as repeated heavy dosages accumulated in the soil, or as increasingly large amounts were applied. These research findings lead the entomologists to question the heavy continuous use on the same land of the more stable insecticides especially DDT and technical BHC. They emphasize the importance of avoiding careless, excessive, or improper use. DDT, the first and most widely used of the post-war insecticides was studied more extensively than others. It was found that heavy applications of DDT (about 30 pounds per acre per year) could build up Soil accumulations in 3 to 5 years that would damage the more sensitive crops. Growth of rye in soil from under peach trees that were sprayed three years with DDT and one year with technical BHC, was reduced about SO per cent by the toxic build-up of insecticide, residues in the soil. Some soils that get applications of about 10 pounds of DDT per acre per year may become harmful to sensitive crops within five to ten years. Limited trials showed technical BRC to be less stable than DDT, but because of its high toxicity to plants in the soil, it is capable of forming damaging accumulations if used often at heavy rates Toxaphene and parathion, however, were found to be so unstable in the soil that they are not expected to accumulate there to a harmful degree following recommended use. Tests in mineral and much soils common to eastern United States showed that DDT could reach harmful levels in either type, although much more could be applied to the muck than to the mineral soils without injury to crops.

In some ways Caesar had it pretty easy. At least his death was swift and merciful. So the story goes, a bunch of Senators stuck him full of daggers. That . was in 44 B.C., according to reliable information. Times have changed-—a little. Today the “Ides of March” is met with a groan and referred to as “Income Tax Day." It arrives all too soon, and it comes as no and Senators—have let us know about it far in advance. Misery loves company, so the saying goes.

Dangers of Unpasteurized Milk Emphasized By Health Department Dr. L. J. Roper, State Health Commissioner, today emphasized the dangers of drinking Unpas- ' teurized milk and called attention to some simple methods of heattreating milk at home in the event community supplies of pasteurized milk are not available. The Health Commissioner pointed out that there are three approved home pasteurization methods which in the great majority of cases will provide adequate safeguards against milk-borne disease. According to Dr. Roper, one of the methods—which may in some instances impart a cooked flavor to the milk—is recommended primarily for emergency situations in which community milk-processing plants may be put out of commission by fire, flood, or other 1 disasters, including bombing attacks. The other two methods, which do not affect the flavor of the milk but take a little longer or require special equipment, are suggested for normal home use, where pasteurized milk is not available. “There are too many commu, nities in Virginia where raw milk is drunk regularly despite its recognized threat to health,” Dr. Roper said. The emergency method recommended by the State Health Commissioner: Bring milk quickly to a boil in an open saucepan while stirring constantly. Immediately place the saucepan in cold water and continue stirring contents until cool. Change cooling water whenever it becomes warm. Dr. Roper pointed out that although pasteurization destroys ^harmful bacteria, it is not effective against radioactive contamination. - -, For reshjents» of communitieB where'trerr^DTHBRd'dr teurized milk, the State Health Commissioner recommends that raw milk purchases be pasteurized at home, either by. the emergency method recommended for disasters or by one of the two following methods: (1) Heat the milk quickly in an open saucepan, stirring constantly until the contents reach a temperature of 165° P. A dependable cooking thermometer should be used. Then immediately place the saucepan in cold water and continue stirring the contents until' they are cooL Change the cooling water when it becomes warm. * (2) Use one of the approved home pasteurisers cow. on the market. “Statistics show that consumers « of raw milk are the victims of I most of the outbreaks of milkanorne diseases in this country,” Dr. Roper explained.

I am proud to see my old home town step forward under the guardianship of skillful hands, bright and intelligent minds, and gentle hearts. "Little Washington” as I know and loved it a long time ago, has always been to me the garden spot of the world, an enchanted spot full of charm, an exquisite little gem in the choicest setting where the sun shines the brightest, the flowers bloom the prettiest, the birds sing the sweetest. There my father and mother hung their little nest against the great breast of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. There my childhood carefree ftnd happy was spent, my girlish romance came to life and finally - I was married from the little church, Trinity Episcapol, which carried me through a ngw interesting and happy phase of life. We Virginians have always1 been - proud of our men. Just as her women have always held their own in graeious charm and it does my heart good to see them step forward today in the front line sharing in the solution of our present desperate crisis of making a better world to'live in. “Little Washington,” “S h e Town,” my first home, my first love, will always remain to me a cherished nook where beauty and the good things of life are stored and I am sure in her fulfillment of growth she will increase in outstanding powers to radiate good •will to all mankind. So again, “She Town,” Greetings, Good Luck, love, and best wishes from an old friend.

By categories, the rejections were listed as administrative, 1.4 per cent; mental, 16.9 per cent; neuropsychiatric, 1.4 per cent; -—physical,-10.4 per- -cent;- mental,, and medical combined, 3.2 per cent. Aroused Southern leaders, including Gov. James F. Byrnes, of ■South Carolina, have investigated the problem of wholesale rejections and found its roots in the limited education of boys 19 through 26. Those with high school education are accepted automatically if not otherwise unqualified. A North Carolina county made an intensive study of its draft rejection cases and reported that the education factor was complicated by too much stress in reading facility in the examinations. As a result, the Pitt county, N.C., report showed skilled craftsmen with poor reading comprehension were rejected while college men were drafted as laborers.

Wo Handle a Full Line ,of Southern States Seeds, Wi to learnthat South Carolina had the highest rejection rate of any of the Southern states, with 65.3 per cent of its youth turned down including 60.7 for flunking intelligence tests. The figures covered July through October. urging nuge increases ^or eoucation by legislative appropriation Governor Byrnes said: “Although we cannot evaluate our schools entirely on the basis of Selective Service tests of this state’s draftees,, we much recog* nize the implications. South Carolina cannot afford to allow lack of attention to her schools to be responsible for such records as our draftees have made on the Army tests.” Several states reported cases of -youths .deliberately failing their mental tests but the Army usually' spots these ruses and “accepts” the funkers anyways, draft officials said. State by state, the draft rejection situation was reported as fol. lows: Georgia—46 per cent rejected since Sept. 1 including 37 per cent for law intelligence scores. Army screening has been intensified and examination of their Chilian background has warranted the drafting of some who failed the tests. Alabama—No percentages, available on rejection but Col. Ja'mes T. Johnson, acting state draft director, said the largest number of failures were in the intelligence group. ^ North Carolina—42 per cent rejected from Sept. 1 through January, including 35 per cent for failing the mental test. There, too. the Army was taking some men who failed but had college degrees or responsible civilian jobs. Virginia—State Draft Director Asher W. Harman said 42 per cent rejected as of Jan. 30 including 26.8 per cent mental. Draft boards ' how are recalling those rejected for interviews. Louisiana—63.5 per cent rejected in November and December, 43 per cent for failing “mentals”. Tennessee—40 per cent of January call-ups rejected, 30 per cent for low intelligence scores. Situation much better since last August when 61.6 were rejected, prompting an investigation. Florida—29.3 per cent rejected in January, no breakdown on reasons. Col. R. G. White, head of the state board, said that limited education rather than*1ow mentality appeared the leading cause of failures. Mississippi—Rejections running about 60 per cent but reduced by 10 per cent since September. County News Notes Charlie Coates was a guest Sunday of Mrs. A, M. Verner and family.

W. O’Byrne, Extension forester at VPI. O’Byrne says the area in Virginia in need of reforestation is variously estimated between 300,000 and 1,000,000 acreA The smaller figure probably represents l%pd that will not reseed naturally to anything. The larger figure is used to represent land that will not reseed naturally to a profitable stand of trees. At the present rate cf planting, it will take between 50 to 200 years to accomplish the needed reforestation, O'Byrne says. He reports that Virginia landowners planted 5,474,0001 forest trees in the 1949-50 planting season. This added to the 27,000,000 planted in former years, makes a total of almost 33,000,000 trees that have been planted since systematic forestry work was started in the State in the early 1330’s. At the usual rate of 1,000 trees per acre, the total area planted to forest trees is 82,912 acres.*Of * those, 85 p&J> eeT!i are'classed -as successful plantations. The' other 15 per cent either lad poor survival, or were destroyed by fire, browsing livestock, or other . means. * Farmers rank as the top group in owning forest land. They own some 13,746 acres, of which 88 per cent are classed as successful. “Other private” owners rank next, with 10,694 acres, of which 89 per cent are “successful.” rendered with such beauty and musicianship as to win the approval of lovers of music, both lay* and professional.

Stay Away 'From High Tension Electric Lines Those who find March winds ideal for kite and model airplane flying were warned this week by the local power company safety experts to practice their sport in open fields, well away from high tension lines. “Tragic accidents which sometimes occur to kite and model airplane fans may be avoided,” Northern Virginia Power Company spokesman said, “by taking proper precautions." He said that safety posters are now being distributed to schools in: this area by Northern Virginia Power Company. These posters give the following rules—Keep kites and model planes away from electric wires; use dry cotton string only; never use metal on kites; and never climb poles. The safety expert said that in addition to causing serious-per - sonal injuries, mis-use of kites and model planes may cause disruption of electric service to hospitals, factories and homes.
