A short business meeting was conducted by the Ladies Auxiliary, Monday being their regular monthly meeting date.

Such current issues as the rescue squad were talked over at gr£at length. Refreshments were served by the Ladies Auxiliary.

REPUBLICANS PLAN FOR OX ROAST , Shenandoah County Republicans recently announced that an Ox Roast will be held at the Shenandoah county Fair Grounds October 15 from 4 until 8 o'clock. Ted Dalton, Republican gubernatorial candidate, Stephen D. Timberlake, Staunton candidate for Lieutenant-Governor, as well as the GOP candidate for General, will attend the feast. Other prominent Republicans of the surrounding areas are expected to be on hand. There will be no charge; the public is cordially invited. Rappahannock County Designated Drouth Area The Department of Agriculture has emphasized to Rep. Burr P. Harrison that Rappahannock farmers wishing to obtain feed under the drought disaster relief plan must apply through the County Drought Committee. This -committee is composed of H. S. Barksdale, chairman; W. H. Lyne, county agent; M. B. Fields,. FHA; J. Rodes Brown, and Wade H. ivlassie, Jr. In each of the 37 counties in Virginia approved for Federal Disaster relief, this committee consists of the chairman of the county PMA Committee, the county agrici^tural agent, the county supervisor for the Farmers’ -Home Administration, and a banker and active farmer chosen by the other three. Mr. Harrison made inquiries at the Department following the initial announcement of the disaster certification last week. He said he was told that Rappahannock pasturage stands at 40 p ercent of normal because of drought conditions this year. As to purchase of emergency feed, he said farmers would have to satisfy the local five-man committee that they are not able to buy at the prevailing market price feed necessary to maintain their herds of sheep or dairy or beef cattle. They also must certify that they have less than a 30day supply of feed on hand, Department officials emphasized. If found qualified for relief, a farmer may buy feed from Commodity Credit Corporation stocks at redced prices through the county PMA Committee. The prices are $1 per bushel for corn, $1.10 for wheat, fifty .cents for oats and $35 a ton for cotton-seed meal, cakes or pellets. An alternate plan allows eligible farmers to buy mixed feeds for beef and dairy cattle at reduced prices from commercial distributors. This is possible through sale of CCC feed stocks to the mixed-feed processors at reduced rates. Mr. Harrison said he was told there would be no Government-fixed price for such feeds sold through commercial channels, but that the distributors, getting their materials for less, would be expected to reflect the saving in the prices charged the farmer. Under the Department of Agriculture definition, Mr. Harrison said, “foundation herds” of cattle consist of cows and bulls, nursing calves and only such heifers as are required for replacement of the basic herd. The Seventh District Representative pointed out that the emergency feed distribution plans, approved by the Department of Agriculture at the request of the State Agricultural Mobilization Committee, were entirely separate from loan aid available through the Farmers’ Home Ad^ntstrationi'^'xistmg' iggwtatiqrrprp=° vides for special loans to distressed livestock farmers, he said. In addition, the FHA has been considering separate disaster loan certifications for the Virginia counties most seriously affected by the drought.

RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS •ggg*. PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At Washington, Rappahannock County Virginia DIAL WASHINGTON 2851 BRUCE S. BOWIE Publisher Entered as second-class mail matter at the post office at Washington, Virginia SUBSCRIPTION: (in advance) ___ $2.00 a year — — .. ... * - ■ - DOLLARS VS. LIVES It was heartening to see the reaction of the local people, at a joint meeting of the Washington Fire Company and the ladies of the Auxiliary held Monday night, when the recently formulated plans <for a Rescue Squad were discussed. Of course, as will be the case in any discussion, there were some “doubting Thomases”, and some who wanted to wait and see if it would be a success before joining. But when the facts are weighed there can be little doubt that these same ones will be loyal supporters of the organization. The Culpeper Rescue Squad has some of the best qualified First Aid instructors in this section of Virginia, and they have volunteered to conduct classes in rendering first aid to the inured. STOP! THINK 1—A few dollars spent for good equipment and a few hours of your time spent taking the first aid course, and some day you may be able to save a life or prevent some person from being permanently crippled. We can not know when or where disaster will strike. You say “I drive carefully”, well, and good, out does the other fellow? Think of the risk you take when you go out in the fielA among your ‘mild-mannered’ cattle. Who knows when one is going berserk? If you or one of your family should happen to be the one to be gored or trampled, try and realize how much better the chance of recovery if a crew of trained first aiders were immediately on the job. When the First Aid classes start next Tuesday night, October 13, 7:30 at the Fire House in Washington — let’s have a good class to meet with the instructors. Better To Be Ahead Than To Be Behind That makes sense with almost anything, especially with money. When you’re ahead, somebody pays you interest on your investment. When you’re behind, you pay somebody else. On farm equipment costs, it can make a lot of difference. Take your tractor, for instance. It’s worth less every year. You take income tax depreciation on it, of course, 'but sooner or later you need a new one. Then what? If you’ve saved money equal to the depreciation, your new tractor costs you less than the cash price, because you get interest l>h the money you saved. If you buy on time, you’ll pay more than the cash price, because you’ll pay interest on the balance. Of course, the same idea holds for trucks, plows, combines, mowers and other farm equipment. The more you own, the more you can save by staying ahead of depreciation, rather than falling behind. There’s no better, safer or easier way to save ahead for that equipment money, than by buying U. S. Savings Bonds. Series E Bonds are easy to buy at your bank or post office. They pay 3 % interest compounded semi-annually when held to maturity. Should an emergency arise and the money is needed, the bonds can be cashed at any bank. Decide today to play safe. Start a “Farm Machinery Replacement Fund” of your own. Buy enough Savings Bonds to cover your total depreciation, year by year. When New-Tractor time comes ... You will be ahead. CARD OF THANES We wish to thank the Fire Company and all of the friends who came m response to our call on Monday night. —Mrs. G. C. Wayland and Mr. and Mrs. Stant Weaver WEST POINT STRATEGY Which prospective opponent will be eliminated next? The strategy of eliminating opponents, taught at West Point, seems to be bearing fruit for President Eisenhower. With the appointment of Governor Earl Warren, of California, as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, one of the strongest contenders for the G.O.P. presidential nomination in ’56 has been disposed of. Although President Eisenhower has been suffering from a sore arm (possibly flycastinitis) his faculties for planning for the future have not been affected. SURVEY TO BEGIN On or about October 1, C. S. Coleman is to move to Rappaliannock County to start a detail survey of the county. Progress will likely be slow in the beginning in that Mr. Coleman will have to return to Notoway County to complete soil sampling as soon as there is enough rain to make it possible. It seemed best to move to the county early enough this fall to allow for preliminary inspection £f the county so that the mapping legend could be well worked out before bad weaher.---_ The unusual interest in a survey showed by the farmers and farm leaders of Rappahannock County indicates unusual co-operation in the survey. We bggin the survey with great deal of enthusiasm. —Va. Soil Survey News Letter). s MURPHY THEATRE FRONT ROYAL, VA. Tburs. - Fri. - Sat.

Shanholtz, State Health Commissioner, said today. “If parents understood the accident problem and were as concerned about it as they are about polio and other contagious diseases, the toll of child-' hood death and disability could be reduced drastically,” he added. In the Preschool Age Group, 1-4, there were 126 accidental deaths reported to the State Health Department’s Bureau of Vital Statistics in 1952. Of this number 50 deaths were due to bums, and 30 to motor vehicles. Drownings and suffocation from food and foreign bodies accounted for 9 deaths each, while 8 children in this age group died from poisonings. Falls and firearms claimed 3 victims each. Two children were electrocuted and 12 deaths in this group were not classified. Accidents have been consistently the leading cause of death among School Age children for over 20 years, Dr. Shanholtz stated. Last year in Virginia, 128 accidental deaths were recorded for this group of 5 to 14 year-olds. Motor vehicles ranked as the leading cause of accidental death, claiming 48 victims. Drownings followed second with 25. Other causes were burns, 19; transport deaths other than motor vehicles, 8; firearms, 8; falls, 4; death due to injury by machinery, 4; and poisoning, 1. Eleven deaths in this age group were not classified. une nait ot an aeatns last year in the age group 15-24 were due to accidents. There were 320 deaths by accident in this age group last year. Motor vehicle accidents accounted for 211 deaths in this group, while drownings was the second killer in this group, claiming 26 lives. Transportation deaths other than motor vehicles accounted for 17 deaths. Other killers were burns, 16: falls, 10; firearms, 9; machinery, 7; poisonings, 6: and 18 deaths were unclassified. “Accident prevention means setting up and maintaining precautionary measures,” Dr. Shanholtz said. “The measures that could reduce accidents are known to family physicians, health officers, teachers and safety experts. All these people are ready and anxious to help. But they can do little until parents are well enough informed to see that the needed precautions are set up and continuously maintained in the home, school, and other places where children are exposed to accidents,” Dr. Shanholtz concluded.
