Announces Apple Purchase Program \ The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced yesterday that h will purchase frith apples from Virginia’s 1951 crop now being t picked. The program will be handled by the Production and Marketing -Administration and will commence ; at once, according to C. D. Jordan, State PMA head. 'Purchases will be confined strictly to apples grading U. S. (No. 1 or better, and of the foll lowing varietiesGrimes Golden and Jonathan in sise 214- inch minimum diameter, or 215 or larger by count; Golden Delicious, ’ Borne Beauty, Stayman, and York - , Imperial in sise 21 inch minimum, or 180 and larger. These are the principal marketable varieties in f Virginia at this season. The purchase prices which the v USDA has set for apples packed and loaded f.o.b. shipping point are $1.60 per bushel for sise 214 < inch, and $1.20 for the 2-1 inch '£ fruit. However, on both sises the J grower is aUopred a premium of 10 cents a bushel for wrapped placed packs and for tray packs. Under the program growers ' ? may offer apples in bushel bask^ ets, boxes, wirebound crates, or . fibreboard boxes provided such containers are in good, clean, us•ble condition and lidded. Round bottom baskets or fibreboard containers must be new. . The fall purchase program will continue through the end of the year, Jordan said, but he announced that all offers from prospective vendors must be made by November 11, 1961, to be considered. He further stated that acceptances , by the USDA will be limited strictly to the outlets available, • — wrhich include the School Luneh JProgram and certain non-profit institutions. tv V**IV*I» MUUUgU w„ ober 12 will be assigned for ship* ment in October. If received after ’ that date, offers will be accepted '■ end shipped as soon as outlets are • available. 1 Offers wijl be received in carlots or multiple carlots only from eligable vendors.

But the Virginia crop is *x- pected to be far smaller in the *. sire of the fruit this year because of a prolonged dry spell during the summer months when the apples normally attain siae. ^ An official base loan rate on the 1991 com crop in Virginia of 41.78 per bushel was announced yesterday by the Production and Marketing Administration througl <3. D. Jordan State PMA chairman f The rate is computed on tin | % basis of 90 per cent of parity oi ■ October 1, which is considered thi beginning of the com marketiot year.-A considerable amount oi ~ y corn has already been harvests ‘‘l in Eastern Virginia, Jordan noted and PMA has been making loam on the basis of an interim rate o: ■ $1.70 announced earlier.

Auxiliary To Meet At Sperryville Oct IS ;v The Ladies’ Auxiliary'of the S' Sperryville Volunteer Fire Company twill meet- Monday night, October 16, ft the Sperryville school. All members and any other r persons interested -are urged to attend to plan activities for coming year. The fire company needs •your support! -5 ’ -vfPrices Due To Level Off Then Show Strength - ; - How long will the. downward trend in farm prices continue? '*'■ Dr. J.- L. Maxton, agricultural economist at V.P.I., sees a general leveling off this month and next, followed by “some strength in the winter and spring months." The economist says the prices of (whole milk, wool, wheat, oats, buckwheat, flaxseed and potatoesare due to go up in the future. ' After the harvest is complete and the products stored, price advances are expected for apples, sweet potatoes, corn, vegetables, - cotton, hay, and soybeans. . 1 ... Advance'in the prices of most l of these products will "result from —decreasing supplies and increased ~ demand. The apple crop in the ' west ia below normal, so Dr. Maxton says Virginia apples ont of storage should be in good demand. ' On . the other hand eome prices are slated to weaken. Dr. Maxton says prices of slaughter cattle, sheep, and lambs likely will go down as a'result of heavy supplies in October and November. Hog prices are expected to declino for r'the same reason and by a larger percentage until in December. Poultry prices will be influenced by meat animal prices and decline somewhat, while egg prices are not expected to reach last year’s December price levels. Supplies of fluecured and hurley tobacco • are larger than last year, and may . temporarily exceed demand twith some weakening of prices. ~ ‘Dr. Maxton points opt that farm costa are expected to rise,: and that the farm parity ratio - average likely will be just slightly above 100. ^ Mr. and M«- Boy Atkins and ' - jjonsJ; jigger and Junior, were ' dinner guests Sunday of Mr. and Conner Jenkins. ’ % - ' bushels produced in 1959. “•Despite, the large, corn crop last year we’ll need the big crop expected this fall. Increasing live' stock numbers, resulting frdra the high demand for meat, brought on by the national emergency, has ' forced us to draw heavily on our . reserve corn supply,” the PMA chairman said. “Even though the f com is needed, the rush of the grain to market at harvest time invariably produces an adverse effect on the price growers receive. By taking advantage of the s COC loan program, growers can help promote orderly marketing * f , the crop and at the same time help sasure a better price by redeeming the loan and selling on a stronger t ■■ market later." ^' ’4- I ♦ ' -- • 4 < ^ Rabbits ,Win Prizes I At Ridunoadl Pair V “Red Beauty,” a New Zealand Red piece of rabbit royalty from Pankey’g Bunnyviile at Sperry* ; ville, twitched' hi* whiskers daintily last week as he reposed beneath a fancy bine ribbon at the Atlantic Rural Exposition at Richmond. “Skyrocket,” a white New Zealand, took a fourth place in aclass of S3. “Cpl. Carroll, Jr.," ' won 8th placing in a clam of 42. Mrs. Jaenie Jarvis was well pleased with the showing made • by the rabbits from Pankey’s Bunnyviile, since it was. the first time they had competed' and she is almost a novice in the rabbit k business. ■r The rabbit section at the Exposition, appearing for the first time created much comment and it was stated in a Richmond paper -.-that- the rabbit exhibit was one of the most popular attractions for the 100,000 visitors to view . the show. v- • - - - Roy Tilby, the judge at Richmond, is a judge at national rab-' bit shows, and the 809 rabbits entered in the* show gave plenty of competition to make a winning place a real honor. ■ Mrs. Jarvis carried a fourth rabbjt to the fair but it was hurt before the judging took place and could not appear. She won three placings on three entries, including a blue ribbon—e record of which anyone eoold be proud.’ —■.. y -y mtmmimii fm Colds Mm Prr '^lait This Time Of^four 2 Now is ,'th« time to take precautions against the common cold, l an infectious disease that becomes only too common about this time of year with the onset of colder .and damper weather, the State Health Department announced today. Colds occur at all times of. the year but are far more prevalent during the fall and winter /months, according to the state Officials. 1 Although v not too much is known about the germs which «eanse colds, it is known that Ibw-’ f ired body resistance makes a person more susceptible to catching colds. Some suggestions offered for preventing colds are: 1. Avoid drafts both at home and at work. At night do not allow a stiff breeze to blow over* yo'ur bed. '___ 2. Avoid exposure to dampness. If you get caught in a rainstorm' change Into dry clothing as quickly as possible. Be especially careful about keeping your feet dry. 2. Keep the rooms where you jwork and sleep well ventilated, flee that they are not allowed to get too hot, 4. Eat a well balanced diet and pay more attention than usual to what you eat. Don’t over-eat, and take more liquid# than usual. An extra intake of fruit juices is a great help. y * 5. Keep the hands cleah by frequent washing and keep them fkttayfrom the mouth and nose ah all times. Don’t become germcrazy, but pay toore attention than usual to the added danger of contacting germ-disseminaed diseases. 6. ’ Keep - general resistance as high as possible by avoiding physical fatigue. The best way to do ia to get as much rest as you can. Sometimes you may get a cold in spite of all the precautions you take. If this happens, you should get all'the additional rest possible, even if that means staying away from work for a few days. Avoid exposing other people to your cold as most colds are spread by per; son to person contact. Don’t hesita'te to call your doctor if you feel feverish, or take your temperature and find you have fever. The same is true if yon show any other symptons of n disturbing nature. Many other diseases begin with the same symptons as thosa of the common cold. „ ' 4 Dave Miller Rationed Air Ihdiaptown Cap, Pa* Pvt David D.

SperryriUe P.-T.A Cites Recreation Need ' Recognizing the need for H recreational center for the young people of the community, Sperry- „ ; ville Parent-Teacher* Association ▼oted at' their meeting October ■9, to appoint a committee to meet with representatives from the Baptist, Episcopal, and Methodist churches, the Sperryville Fire Department, the V.F.W., and the Rappahannock County High School to further discuss and for- ■ mulate a plan for obtaining recreational facilities. ^ _ ^ A formulating committee, composed of Mrs. Mary Quaintance, Mrs. John Davis, Mrs. C. E. Johnson, and W. H. Lyne, has begun its work and +he date of meeting • with the other representatives will be announced. This discussion of recreational aeeds is no new subject in Sperryville, fo? the talk has arisen sev- . eral times before over a period of years. The P.-T.A. meeting on. Tuesday agreed that talk accomplished nothing and it was time to go to work. Judging by the . past—in matters such as raising / funds for the fire department— when the people of Sperryville set themselves a task, they usually get results. Officer* of the P.-TJL are Mr*. V' W. J. Brown, president; Mrs. Nina B. Brown, vice-president; Mrs. F. ; ^ ffltawning Wood, secretary; and W, H. Lyne, treasurer..' . ........ Sou Saver Notes 1 By L. B. HMuntty The conservation of toil, water, forests, and all natural resouroes la one of the subjects that should be uppermost in the minds of everyone. In order that the citizens of the Commonwealth of Virginia may became mone conscious of the importance of conserving our natural resources, the governor has proclaimed the week of October 21 as “Natural 'Resources Conservation Week.” Governor Battle specifically requested that a week each year be set aside to recognise the importance j»f conserration. .... The counties of the Culpeper , . Boil Conservation District ere.'planning a rather extensive pro- ' gram for Conservation Weak. Many of the ministers will open the festivities by delivering conservation sermons on Sunday, October 21. Posters will bo devol- - oped around some phase of conservation, soil and water, wildlife or forestry. Prizes will be awarded - to county winners at the “Natural Resouroes Conservation Wjeek” banquet to be held in the Culpeper * County High School on Tuesday, October 23. Numerous dignities have bean invited to‘the banquet including *•' both Senators from Virginia, the Governor and several Represent* stives from Northern Virginia. , The banquet will climax a day of Soil and Water Conservation tours including the farm of L. W. Kipps, Madison County. Mr. Kipps - . has been farming the conservationway for 13 years and states that he never intends to change back to the old “out of date” methods r.: that he previously followed. The theatres have kindly con-" sented to show short conservation films along with their regular feature during “Natural Resources Conservation Week". It is the wish of the Governor of Virginia and of every member ( of the various Soil Conservation District Board of Supervisors that Conservation Week will call to the attention of everyone, regardless of heir endeavor in life, the vital imp&rtance of conserving all nat- * ural resources and particularilly our soil and rainfall. Conservation is not only the job of the American fanner but it is everybody’s job who consumes food and fiber.

Rappahannock News Published Thursday Morning at Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia / Dial Washington 2851 - LUCY CATHERINE BOWIE '<% ”v" Publisher& ' . _. ■■ * " - 'L-y' '.: *«*: ; ■...-ffTn „ Entered as second-class mail matter at ths post office at Washington, Virginia.— 1.« Subscription: —- $2.00 a year % Fire Preventibit’ mK _ All over the nation this week ' special emphasis is being placed upon the importance of preventing fires—fires in your home and fires in your forest. \ - Where <we all realize that one week’s concentration on fire prevention is not what is needed, but 62 weeks of the year, yet we all j ‘ acknowledge it is good to jog our memories with a National Fire Prevention Week. This past dry summer has made most of us. more acutelly aware* of the dangers of lire than we ■would be ordinarily. With water so dear, there is doubt that sufficient water would be available to ~ fight a fire if it were started. The fwoods are tinder-dry, and a-small breeze could fan a spark into a major fire in a few minutes. Being over-cautious now is sensible. It is safest now to bo a ' fanatic about fire. Regardless of how small the chance may be of starting a fire, use precautons as - if the fire had already started, Don’t hesitate to call the firemen, even if the fire seems very * small. They would much rather ’ be called out to find that the fere was already extinguished than to have you wait until the fire had a good headway beforelhey could~ begin fighting. -a_: Soaking the Poor To meet his huge running expenses Uncle Sam already has been forced to attach considerable of the incomes of us fellows ' in the lower income groups. Ap- * parently, we “ain’t seen nothin’ yet” By the time this appears in print the elongated chap with the chin whiskers will tie reaching still further into the pockets of - American workersr. 7 ~ " : In 1939, a married man with an income of $2,500 a year was exempt from Federal taxation and ■was able to keep all his earnings. In the current fiscal year, he is compelled to work 22 days to pay— his Federal income tax.. In the next fiscal year he will sweat for a longer period for his greedy, squandering government. - Of course, the wealthy chap really gets taken to the cleaners. A pea-son in $100,000 class works nearly one half of his time for _ the government, or more than three times as long as a person with a $5,000 income who toils ONLY 34 days to meet his income tax bill. The progressive rate of taxation now in effect is socialistic in concept and communistic in result Bradford B. Smith, Economist for the United States Steel Corporation, most aptly stated the case against progressive taxation when he pointed out: , _— “There is no justification In the morals or in the principles of individual liberty for progressiva taxation. It is simply looting through law of the more productive by the more numerous but less productive. Its appeal is demagogic, and its result is communism, which in turn is but a transitory, stage in the'evolution away from liberty into distatorship.*’ This looting of the wealthy is not only unjust but it impairs incentive. Further, the revenue to' ' be obtained from this source is . comparatively small. If all the V personal taxable'income of. $25,000 a year or Over were confisv cated by the government, the amount would be sufficient to pay the current running expenses of * the Federal government for only about ten. days. One does not have to be the seventh son of a • seventh son to divine that as our . tax burdens expand, we poorer folks will be forced to spend an , increasing number of days working for the government. Our poor, unfortunate British ^ --eeusias have had a most u£pless» • ant taste of progressive taxation. In Great Britain the' tax burden is being shifted to the lower income groups.- In 1938 the lower V'V lBcom« group contributed only about 20 per cent of total perso“I income taxes; in 1949 this hsd ; increased sharply to 40 per cent. ■England has practically destroyj:i. her high income group just as "-y* 5* w® *n the process of doing ■< Mre in the United States of “jnoriea. Far example, the Britiah group with incomes of $50,000 *’ or over contributed over 80 per . «f total personal income taxes in 1088; in 1940 this had propped to 18 per cent and is still ■■ falling. England’s experisaee is a dbu v warning to ns as ws are travelV. fown the saaM road to insol▼eacy. England la just a abort way ahead of us. Wo auist stop dortroying our high income group* iiU Tam AMERICA N WA Y WHAT 60£S OH HERE? Caught In The Act !-j ..■■■—.86 not because we particularly love those who comprise it, but because they are vital to our own welfare. Unless we call a halt to this procedure we shall find as has England, that the day will come when Uncle Same will have no other recourse than to soak us poorer folks to the point wh^re our standard of living will be reduced to that of the Hottentots.—George Peck.' * v 'v . . ' —m ^—i'wf ;■■■•" ■ ’ Reaching For The Fiddle There was once a generation of Romans that occupied in the world of their time almost exactly the same position that we occupy in the world of our day. They were the richest, the most powerful, the most influential race on earth. Like ourselves they had a chance to make fundamental descisions that would have led to' progress and happiness. Instead, they “reached for a fiddle- and plunged the world into 700 years known as the Dark Ages—a period when human progress was at an * almost complete standstill. There is much evidence on the current scene that we are following the pattern set by the Romans. At a time when people throughout the world look toward our shores as their last hope of escape from the brute force and human slavery that is Communism, they find us foolishly toying with the idea that we can have our cake and eat it too. They find us dodging and shriking our responsibilities by asking the government to do for us things that we could and should do for ourselves. They see us, as unpaid Judases, undermining our matchless system of free enterprise in advocating socialistic - government ownership of our productive facilities. They see Con-_ gyeasmen, elected to represent the best interests of the people, jumpfog through the hoop like monkeys in a three ring circus whenever some power bloated bureaucrat cracks the whip. They can see men who should be statesmen, playing politics nwith the safety and welfare of 150 million Amer Pitts Park THEATRE Front Rojrd, Virginia THUR. - FRI. - SAT. , '* OCT.

The plaque jwas affixed to the ; walls of Casemate No.' 6, where Editor Mitchel was imprisoned^ from June to October, 1865. Mitchel had flaunted pro-Dixie writing in columns of the old New York Daily News in defiance 6t northern statesmen and military leaders who had warned him to soft-pedal his fiery editorials. Confederate President Jefferson Da? vis was confined in a casemate nearby. - * A newspaper man from Newport .News made the address of the occasion of the unveiling of the plaque and paid this tribute: “•What he did in defiance cdf oppression in resisting any control leans and countless other millons for whom we are the last and ' only hope. They see us unconscionably piling on to the backs of our children yet unborn burdensome debt foolishly incurred in the extravagant and profligate waste of public funds. - ~~ - They see us countenance and allow to go unpunished those who traffic in deep freezes, mink coate and free Florida vacations.* At a time when the world is smouldering with the fires of Communistic destruction that may break forth at any moment, they •see u* like Nero, “reaching for the fiddle.” -- c & c 1 \ pRlVffJN ShIatRe On Strasburg Road FRONT ROYAL 2 SHOWS: 1 and 3 P.M.

Editor Mitchel truly deserved his honors. Defiance arid refusal to be intimidated means the preservation of free speech, and a nation is solid as long as tbd press is free.. It was quickly noted in totalitarian conquering of Europe that the first. thing -the invader did’after marching into a country was to strangle the press. An editor owes Americans refusal to be intimidated, but he also owes the American a means * expressing opinion. Sometimes the opinions may not be popular, but tbe citizen has a right to express himself. Often we find letters to the editor which most of us refer to as “writings of soma crack-pot” but the crack-pot still’ has the same right as the sensible man to have his thoughts express. «d. It ia also the right of the reader to accept what he pleases and' believe what he chooses We all admit that to imprison a man for expressing his beliefs Is wrong, and Editor Mtchel went to prison for his beliefs.

/. pOHAlD M. MAY NAS D V ' ■ ’ “ • 'V' „ * ' 'A* . ' “ ' . / ' ' . . ' V'"’ || Otar teen-age Ron is erasing as considerable trouble. He does oof enjoy staying at home os be formerly did bat is continually running , about with the gang. When we targe him to stgy at home he says he ‘ wants to base fun with his friends. What should we dot Permit me to suggest the following: ’ L Accept his behavior as being more or less normal for a boy «f hi* age. * Remember that it is exceedingly important for his own sense of worth that bo | “rate” with his peers. Furthermore, he feels torn by conflicting emotions. In many respects he is a’child, but in others he is maturing rapidly. He is trying to Convince himself that he is grown up and one way to do this is to run around with the gang most of the time rather than to stay at home with his family. 2. Try to be as understanding of him as yon possibly can. It may help to think of your own teens. Did yon not try to break the strings that tied you to your home? Keep in mind, however, the fact that the community and society pat* terns then were not the same as they are now. 3. Don’t scold or nag about what he is doing. I - * i 4 Encourage him to bring his friends to your hofne, but remember that.he will Hot do so unless there is something there to appeal to them. Have available things that adolescents enjoy, inch as records—yes, even jarz—games, and « ping-pong table. When the youngsters come, give them the freedom they crate and let them do what they want to do. Have plenty to eat. __ 5. If he doesn’t respond to your' suggestions and invite his friends in, again, let me urge yon not to nag. Accept the fact that, for a time he will be running 1 around with the gang Inost of the time. ^ Let me urge you, also, to assume that he will do that which he feds to be right when he is out with the gang. Adolescents may not show it, but they an hurt whenjhey find that parents do not trust them. • I do not want my little seventeen-mouth-old girl to be selfish. I want to teach her to ahare her toys with other children. When ahe is playing with her doll and our neighbor drops in, should I take the doll from her and giro it to the neighbor's child, who ia two montha older, wad erica for it? Of course tout daughter doesn’t want to give up her doll. In fact, you can be thankful that she doesn’t as it indicates that ahe ia a normal child and hat a will and a mind of her own. Should you forcibly^take the doll from her and give it to the neighbor child, it certainly wouldn’t miraculously make her unselfish.. It probably would do just the opposite. The spirit of hnselfishnesa comes from within; it can’t be forced upon one. If you should take the dpi] from her'and give it to the neighbor child, your daughter probably would feel bewildered and resentful. Her sense of* security would be lessened as she discovered that the one upon whom she _thougiit she could depend had “turned against her.” So in'answer to your ques4k»B,let me say “no.”*-__—_^. j~.L .Z1.:■ It is essential, to be sure, that children should learn to be unselfish and to share their toys with others. It should be remembered, however, that these learnings come slowly and that we must not expect our children to be morq unselfish than ia normal for their age. Your seventeen-month-old daughter is almost too young to learn even the value of taking turns. As she gets oldest however, and increasingly plays with other children, she gradually will learn that it pays to take turns. As she learns really to like other children, there will be a greater incentive to ahare with them. i - t Why don’t you have several different toys, and perhaps dolls, on hand ho that when the neighbor girl visits there will be a doll for her, too, even though it Will not be the favorite doll of your daughter? Scenes frequently can be avoided by directing the attention of children away from that which they cannot have to something that is interesting to them. Have something planned for the neighbor child when she comes. On the other hand, it may be that if the neighbor girl brings her own doll when she visits, both she and your daughter will be willing to exchange dolls for a while, although it is by no means certain that this will be the case. If you can tactfully arrange the sithation so that your little girl’s doll is not in evidence when the neighbors visit, that may help. If yon have a question abouf-yoor child—from birth through the teens—send it to Donald M. Maynard, 810 Broadway, Nashville 2, Tennessee, to be answered through a future column in this newspaper.

Some Fish Like To Be Caught 1 ■ ■; ■ c : v ■ . --,.V When fish are once caughtjjy hook and line, are they hooked more easily next time, or do they"-I become hook shy? According to information received lately,* by the Commission of Game and In-' % land Fisheries, many fish actually -• like to be caught- ■ % f| -— Here is what the fishery biologists base their conclusions on; - They caught 146 fish with a haul sein, tagged them and released Jthem. Of this number, 13, or 8.$ per cent were retaken by anglers. The anglers, itt turn, took 104 ' fish by hook 4pdr line and they, likewise, tagged and released them. Twenty-one, or 20.2 per cent of these were recaught later by anglers. Could it be that fish actually like to be caught? <?* —Vegetable Storage Advised By Specialist Storing vegetables before cold weather will insure fresh vegetables on the table in October, ' November, and December. L Vegetable gardening specialists 1 fit V.P.I. say crops that cgn be stored successfully include various root crops, cabbage, onions, potatoes, pumpkins and squash, and sweet^potatoes. Ideal conditions vary from crop to crop.

In fact oarsnips-and salisfy need not even be dug for storage. Simply leave , them in the ground and dig them as needed. • W.* ARMY DESERTER, AWOL, CAUGHT IN ORANGE COUNTY. A "notorious” Army deserter was captured Saturday after five years of hiding in the heavily wooded mountains near Gordons* He was identified as Everett C. Atkins, ii, a former resident of Gordonsville, who, according to Army officials, deserted June 4, 1946. Richard D. Auerbach, special 'i agent in charge of the Richmond’ office of the Federal Bureau of (Investigation, described him as "one of the most notorious deserters in the files of* the FBI.” f Atkins was arrested as he I walked along* a mountain path armed with a .410-gauge shotgun. According to Auerbach, he a apparently was healthy after his five years in the forests, in fact, was “husky a bear.” - The arrest came at 4 p,m. Saturday after FBI agents, Virginia ■State Polie, and two Gordonsville police officers began a close watch , Over a lumber camp near Gordonsville. Auerbach explained that ttia watch was started at midnight after it was learned that Atkins was in contact with his wife, who was living in the lum* f her camp. - .. y 'The day of his capture was the first time law enforcement offi, eers had seen Atkins since he. deserted. But several times during the past five years they had erossed his trail, Auerbach said. The agents knew Atkins was hiding in the mountains, Auerbach said, because they would find makeshift lean-tos which provided Us only shelter. For food, he had to pely on squirrels and other game, the agents said. The agents began their search v .near Gordonsville because Atkins' v, / family lived there. li ; They spotted his paths through the wpods and set up amfeoehee along the trails leading to tba : lumber camp. Auerbach said the . agents were planning to watch the paths » hours a day vatil . • ’i-.Uv- : . they Arrested Atkins. His torn* ing up after only Id hours was. described «s a “good break.” g Atkins ,was lodged in the Charlottesville jail last night, awaiting transfer to military polios for -rev turn to the army and a trial.

Fire Prevention and Civil Defense Go Hand in Hand ■> Fire prevention is an important part of civil defense. If an enemy attacks this country, his bombs, whether they be atomic, high explosive, or incendiary, will cause more damage ;by fire than they will by blast. Hence, anything done to make it hard for fires to start is a step towards preparing your community to protect itself if war comes. v The majority of all fires start hr trashpiles, rubbish, or stored odds and ends that accumulate around / „ , the house. Closets, attics, and cellars are the main source of 4' home fires, and .plain ordinary good housekeeping* is a strong’ line of i defense against them. V ^ ; Clean out your storage places, r You will be surprised at how many burnable odds and ends are'really . | useless to you. Don’t let them ’ - - make your home a fire hazard. Get >rid of them. If local welfare agencies can’t use them, call the j junk man. } Don’t stop when you’ve cleared . j , out the inside of your house. Go after rubbish in your back yard, in falleys and in vacant lots near your home. Collect the rubbish and burn * ? it. Don’t leave it around to burn if 'an enemy bombs your city. Be V• - sure to burn rubbish in metal v'. containers, a,; V Take a look at your electrical system. Buy new plugs and cords . if yours are worn. Get advice frotti an electrician if your fuses blow ' frequently. Thqr may be dangerously overloaded* fils advice may ; . prevent a bad me. ^ ‘ ;, | Every winter costly fires are started by faulty furnaces, stoves, 'and other heading plants. Some: result: from too much' soot in chimneys. Others .are caused by rusted or cracked pipes and fittings. Look over your heating system now. H your chimney needs it, dean it out* If the furnace pipes and connections are cracked and rusted, replace them. Teach your family pot to put - magazines, papers, or clothing on radiators or near, open flames. Don't hang flimsy curtains near your kitchen store. Don't allow lamp shades to' come m contact with light bulbs. Remember that such things don’t have to touch flame to burn. They will catch Are simply because they are too close to the heat for too long. Gasoline, benzine, naptha, and similar fluids should never be used A indoors. When mixed with air, their vapors can be ignited by the spark of a light switch or an electric fan, or the tiny flame of a pilot light. Keep such fluids in tightly dosed metal containers , outside your home.. - / And remember: oil-soaked rags, especially rags that have been used to spread quick-drying liquids iuch as turpentine, paint thlnners, and some furniture polishes, can> catch fire by themselves.

W. Woodson, Jr., Superintendent of State Police vnd Executive Chairman of the Governor’s Highway Safety Committee, warned today in a plea that motorists and pedestrians exert every effort lo curb this disgraceful and unnecessary bend. Colohel Woodson stated that the worst year Virginia has ever seen was 1041 when deaths totolled 1,110 and that 1^51 seems almost a certainty to break this all-time record. Pedestrian deaths are up 16 above the 145 for the same nine month of last year and servicemen present a more and more serious problem as deaths jn their ranks already number 60 as against 48 for the entire year of 1950, he said. \ « * * * During the past 10, years, he added, December .with v75TS? 'deaths; October with 751, and November with 782 have ranked first, second and third respective— ly among all other months. He then pointed out that this is due to such adverse factors as longer weather, football crowds, increased drinking, and holidays, with heavy shopping crowds during December. With traffic volumes up nine percent above last year’s, Col. Woodson was emphatic in stating that the individual driver and walker must come abruptly to his senses and realize that Virginia’s traffic record is shameful and <;an ■ only be remedied by a complete change of attitude whicli will bring the reckless driver into social disreptite and inaugurate a just pride in proper traffic manners. ' '■.> ■ Colonel Woodson noted some progress in that, traffic volumes are some 70 percent above those of 1941 (which year showed a death rate per 100 *miHion miles • traveled of 18.3 while the same rate for ,1951,* even with a thous- * and deaths, would be slightly in excess of 970 cmimfes £ *‘PLUS YA^E’t STORE .A value nm • Recruiting Active In This Recruiting is being carried on very actively in this locality, according to, the U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force Recruiting Station, 126 S. Main Street, Culpeper. This iS in order to obtain for the armed forces men and women who are willing to serve voluntarily during the emergency. Enlistments are being accepted' continually for both the Army and Air Force.x In addition to the regular Vac* Sncjes for jthose enlisting for three and four years, there are now a few openings in the Army for riwo-year enlistments. Both men and women are eligible^ Vacancies also exit for direct assignment to airborne troops. Selective Service registrants who have not received a call for actual induction . may still enlist, the recruiting office says. ^'Dickie Walter was a guest of Newbill Miller on Saturday night. Hog Bulletin Available ; Hogs are adaptable to any type of farm in Virginia, says George Herring, animal husbandman at VPJ. . . _ . v' He reports that they are now raised on around 100,000 farms*, on which well over 1,000,000 head are produced each year. About 45 per cent of--the hogs grown are for farm slaughter, and the rest for market. They account for between 9 and 10 per . cent of the gross agricultural income of the / State. / ~ \ ; - ■ Herring' says hogs are rarely-’ the main source of income on Virginia farms. They are used to market surplus grain and to eat farm products that might otherwise he wasted. His tips for succeeding with hogs: v ' Adjust hog numbers to amount of feed grown on your farm. Consider hog raising as a way to sell grain, pasture, and feed that might otherwise be wasted. Know good methods of growing them, “•-.tick with hogs” through the lean years so you will have some to sell when the profits are good. At times, corn sold through hogs will return twice as much as it sold as grain. At other times, there may be little or no margin of profit. Know h'6w many hogtf your farm will carry best, and change little from year o year. Herring’s detailed suggestions on breeding, feeding, management marketing, and parasite and disease control are included in a new Extension Service bulletin.
