Janary 15 Is Filing Date For 1951 ACP Reports Rappahannock county farmers, expecting to receive payments for practices carried out under the 1951 Agricultural Conservation Program, and who have not yet reported what they did, had better get busy immediately. Such was the, warning issued this week by H. S. Barksdale, chairman of the county PMA committee, who stated that Tuesday, January 15, 1952, is the last day on which farmers may file 1951 ACP performance reports with the PMA county office. “There’s only a short time left,” Mr. Barksdale said, “and to date the county office has on file 1961 performance reports from only 232 farmers whereas we are expecting a total of 394 reports to be filed. Unless these outstanding reporta are made right away, I am afraid some of our farmers will be a long time getting their checks.” He pointed out that farmers who delay until the last minute to report, also delay the county office in preparing applications for payment. These applications must be processed by the state PMA office and the Treasury Department before checks can die issued and the Treasury Department will toon he very busy with the 1961 income tax refunds. 7 Shen-Valley Maetinf December 21 at 7 PJM.

At the request of Dr. Johnson, health department official, the Board of Supervisors has called a special meeting for Saturday, December 22, to discuss action regarding the rabies threat in Rappahannock county. A dog from the Castleton section of the county was taken by Game Warden C. Ennis Brown to Luray recently. Examination of the dog head returned a report Tuesday, December 4, of the presence of “nefri bodies which is characteristc of rabies.” The reasons for quick action to combat the spread of rabies are man^, according to the health department.

Out of that wreck came six adults and a 3month old baby girl and not a bone broken. Pfc. Fred Crorkin, his wife, and their infant daughter, fft. JuliUs Porazinaki and wife, and Pfc. William D. Brown and wife left Ft. Eustis about midnight Sunday, en route to their homes in Chicago for the Christmas holidays. At Ginger Hill, a sharp turn entering Washington from Sperryville, the car began to swerve, probably due to the icy roads, though the exact cause is unknown. Failing to regain control of the car, the passengers took a crash through the quard rail and landed in the field, down the bank. Bags and baggage were thrown along the bank and through the field, and a piece of wearing apparel was hung up in a tree, almost as if to warn motorists. There were scratches and a few cuts, but the first frantic moments after the accident were spent looking for the baby, who had been pitched clear of the wreck and slept peacefully on, until awakened by screams and began to cry. ^noyd ComptonJifijig jsl.oag.bjr the scene of the accident, went to the aid of those in the wreck.

Subscription:-$2.00 a year “I. Jones, Prop” There’s a man in this country who spends his days doing exactly what he wants to do. He works hard and he worries plenty, but he laughs a lot, too, and he sleeps well. iHe's seen men who take it easier, and men who strike it richer. But he wouldn’t change places with any of them. . . and you wouldn’t want him to. tin the old days you’d find this man swinging a hammer in a blacksmith shop, or ankle-deep in hickory sharings, building wagons for the pioneers. You’d find him baking bread in a wood-fired oven, sewing a jib for a clipper ship, or making a clock that would run forever. And over his doonway you’d find a sign that said: “I. Jones, Prop.” The country is bigger now, and ? its business is busier, but we still can’t do without I. Jones, Prop. (He’s the man behind the counter in a roadside diner, selling coffee and hamburgers to the drivers of - the night-rolling trucks. He’s the owner of the general store, who sees to it that you will always have a pack of cigarettes* a newspaper, a rubber band, a bo£ kite, a doll carriage, a can of paunt, and a quart of ice cream for dessert.” He’s the moving man, the gas man, the man who fixes the roof, the man who adjusts the television set. He’s the man who will eash, your check when you run short, Or forget to send his bill if you’ve been sick. He’s the man iwho did business with your father, and the man who will be doing business with your son. _ The text books have a dry name for I. Jones, Prop. They call him The Small Businessman. You’ll look a long time before you find a bigger man anywhere. Bigger in self respect. Bigger in usefulness to his neighbors. Bigger in influence on a national way of life that lets any man be his own master. Plan For A Safe Don't turn the Christmas holidays into an anniversary of sadness. Now that snort of us axe in the process of planning gala holiday activities, we should also plan a safe Christmas. Do not use a Christmas tree that is too dry. It’s better to keep the tree out doors in the cold until just before Christmas. Heat dries a tree quickly, making it highly inflammable. The tree can be kept fresh in the house if it is placed in a< holder containing water. Making a fresh cut across the base of the tree on a slant helps it to absorb more water. Take the tree out of the house when the needles begin to drop. Electric lights used for decoration should be carefully checked for loose connections, short circuits, and frayed cords, exposing bare wires. Toys selected zor children at Christmas should be checked for safety features as well as enter* taimnent value. For little children, it’s better to select toys which are too large for them to swallow. Babies can easily handle light, large objects such as balls and rattles. Toys with sharp edges should be avoided. Children who are old enough to have toys "Which are potentially dangerous, such as chemistry sets, should be taught to use them properly. It is not only inhospitable but also dangerous not to clean off ice and snow from walks as soon as possible after a storm. Sand and ashes spread on sidewalks and steps make walking safer and easier. By following such precautions, your Christmas holiday may be remembered as an anniversary of festivity and gaiety, pot one of tragedy. „ . - • \—arf—tSIMMSMMMSMSIMIftMMBMMnMHMtfllftimsimiMMmtMmtttl* “ : ‘The Time Hat Come,9 I s r the Walras said l ar The bad Weather of Tuesday was a good time to call us up short and* give moments of pondering.

My three-year-old goes to play vith the three-year-old neighbor i> *irl (always asking my permission) and when I call her home for lunch or dinner she doesn’t come. I usually call her once, go to the home and take her by the hand and try to get her home without tears. How. ever, she will pull away from me, stand, and pout. Almost always h ends up whit a spanking. I have ex' plained and talked to her so much about it, and she will always say, “I’ll try.” T/hat more eould we do t to ease this situation? A three-year-old is not especially time-conscious and if. she is having a good time at play, it is not at all surprising that she should not even hear you when you call, or, having heard, forget very quickly that you have done so. You will want to be patient with her, therefore, as you are helping her to develop the habit of coming when called. I am not sure from your question whether you give her a warning call. . It is important that you do so, letting her know, for example, that in a few minutes die will be expected to come for dinner. This gives her and her playmate a chance to get ready for the breakup of their play if lunch is ready. Even then, she may not oome immev diately. You will not want to be too lenient at this point, but it would be well to give her a little extra time. After all, a little girl can move quite slowly at times! -t I am wondering how yon approach her when you go to get her. If you approach her aa if ahe hat done something wrong and you get hoM of her hand and begin to yank her along, it ie not surprising that she should try to pull away and create mere or less of a •oene that, aa you say, usually ends in a spanking. Your very attitude, you see, creates a fading of antagonism on her part; even a three-year-old doesn't want to be bossed around. On the other hand, if you should go over, show an interest in what the children are doing, perhaps play with them yourself for a few minutes, and then make a sort of "game" of walking home for lunch, you might have better sue-7 cess. Whst should 1 do to help my child meet situations more positively? She h five years old, only child and grandchild. I try to appeal to her to want to go places without pres* •ore, bat die doesn’t want to pull away from her own neighborhood group. I would like for her to approach situations more enthusiastically* Children differ markedly in the enthusiasm and positiveness with which they face situations, such differences being due frequently to temperament or physical energy. It is quite possible, therefore, that your daughter’s temperament is different from your own fcnd that she never will enter into situations with the enthusiasm and energy that you think she should manifest. If this is the case, you will need to guard both against trying to fit her into your own particular pattern of behavior and against giving her the impression that you are disappointed in her because of her lack of enthusiasm. At the same time, you will want to show real approval when she is enthusiastic and positive. If you have not already done so, you may be interested in reading the comments in my booklet.

W Meat Producer Has “Green Light** The meat animal producer has a green light to go ahead in 1952. . . but with a certain amount of caution because of likely changes in trends. George Herring, animal husbandman at V.P.L, says a continued strong demand for meat, and good prices for livestock, are predicted for 1952. The story for each of the past., three years has been about the same. Livestock numbers on farms have been expanded, with slaughter increasing slowly but lagging behind numbers. The stage is being set for larger suppliesof beef, veal, and lamb, and less pork. The beginning of this trend should be quite noticeable during the last part of 1952. Cattle numbers have been rising rapidly. They reached 84,000,000 head, which is near the previous record figure, at the beginning of 1951; and are expected to reach,, 90,000,000 head at the beginning of 1952, then go higher. In the meantime slaughter of cattle and calves has decreased because of the restocking program. However, some increase in slaughter is expected in 1952 for the first time in five years. Production and rate of slaughter of hogs may turn down before the end of 1952. Hogs are the largest consumers of grain, and, the small carry-over and high, prices of grain likely will cause some decreases in next spring’s pig crop. However, Herring says it - looks like Virginia growers who have the grain, use pasture, and otherwise do a good job, might well hold hog numbers near where they are now. While sheep numbers increased, , slaughter in 1951 was the lowest of the century. A small increase in slaughter, but not enough to af. feet prices, is expected in 1352. There is room for “considerable” expansion in sheep because of the long-range price prospect for iambs and wool, Kerrjiig rsay».;L r:!% - Much of the future trend in livestock production depends upon the weather. A poor corn crop next year would mean some liquids ation of grain-consuming animals, 'which are high in numbers now in relation to the carry-over of grain plus the 1951 crop. On the other hand, good grain crop prospects would tend to hold numbers. Poor graaing conditions over a large part of the country next year would slow the increase in cattle numbers, and would increase marketing. Farms and ranches are now well-stocked.

David, grieved and disillusioned, / with God at the death of Bathsheba’s ill-conceived child, at birth, prepares to fight for her life, but she dissuade! | him from taking arms against his own people. Tranquil in the faee of impending death, Bathsheba asks David to play his harp for her a last time. (2) In a moment of great decision, David goes to the tabernacle where ha has had the Ark of the Covenant housed, and there confesses the multitude of his sins. As he touches the holy object, through his mind pass the highlights of a fall end turbulent life. One of these is the moment in which the former King Saul formulated with his generals the monumental battle nlan amlmt the _ /«v ww* mm m* Jr»wSeV A AVUWtilll^Si I g 9 ■ another recollection is of the fearful Philistine giant, Goliath, slain by David with a pebble from his slingshot.

Lewis, Extension agronomist at VPI, who says fertilisation during the dormant period from now through February will give more grazing next year. Orchard grass-lespedeza pastures in the costal plains area should be top-dressed each winter or very early spring with 500 to 700 pounds of 4-12-8 or 4-16-8 fertilizer per acre. If the lespedeza is thin, or there is not enough left to re-seed itself, seed 10 pounds of lespedeza to the acre in February or early March. In the Piedmont and west of the Blue Ridge, orchard grasslespedeza should be top-dressed every three or four years with 1,000 pounds per acre of 2-12-12, 0-14-7, 4-12-8 or 4-16-8. Details are available in a new Extension publication, Circular 533 “For Top Pastures, TopDress.” See your county agent, or write the Agricultural Extension Service at VPI, Blacksburg, for a free copy. — W Mouse Activity Increases In Fruit Orchards Cold weather has increased the danger of mouse damage to Virginia orchard.

In 1930, 116,678 persons living in Virginia were 66 or older. The number of persons in this age bracket for the year of 1950 was 214,572. This represents an increase of 84%, while the population (all ages) increased only 37% during this period/ “Preventive medicine and private medical care have assisted in extending the life span,” stated Dr. Mack I. Shanholtz, State ritalth Commissioner. “As encouraging as this fact may be, we should not forget that the aged are subject to the chronic diseases which destroy tissue structure and weaken the body,” Dr. Shanholtz continued. “The three leading causes of death most prevalent among older ages are heart disease, vascular lesions, and cancer. These three causes constituted nearly threefourths (73 percent) of the deaths from all causes among persons 65 years of age and over in Virginia during 1050. In 1030, 2,486 per. sons 65 or over died from heart disease, representing a rate of 2,131.7 per 100,000 population of the same age bracket. This disease claimed 6,087 old persona in I960 at a rate of 2,836.8. Vascular lesions and cancer rates showed similar rises in 1960 over the rates of iaso. “Overeating, undersleeping, undue worry, the habitual overuse of stimulants of various types, and disregard for personal safety, eontribute much to the total of those . persons who die in the period after 65. To this list must be added the failure of many old persons to have a periodic physical check-up by the family physicain to determine whether the body is as good as it appears to be or whether some condition exists that needs prompt medical attention.
