Harrison Criticizes Veto Of Apple” Bill €4 Virginia legislators who had sought to end apple price fort-, casting by the Department, of , Agriculture expressed consterna tion this afternoon at President Eisenhower’s veto of their bill. Rej*. Burr P. Harrison of the 7th District and Watkins M. Abbitt of the 4th District declared in a joint statement: “The veto came as a genuine shock. We had no intimation that the President was considering the veto of a bill which had the unaninynis r support, , in- Congressional testimony pf the citizens directly involved. No opportunity was given us, or anyone else favorable to the legislation, to present our case at the White House. The first word we received was a telephoned message from ai White House aide today that the President already had vetoed the bill. His official message to Congress arrived shortly thereafter.” Mr. Harrison, whose district includes the major Virginia applet growing areas, made the following statement to the House on announcement from the Speaker's dais that the message had been received : “Mr. Speaker, the President’s action in vetoing a bill to stop apple price-forecasting by the Department of Agriculture is as inevplicable as it is petty. It is a REP HARRISON TO SPEAK HERE JULY 11 Rap. Burr P. Harruen will ■peak at tha Coart Houaa oa July 11 at 8 o’clock. Rap. Harrison will bo kara on tha invitation of Rappahannock Farm Bureau. Tha public is cordially invited to attend. cruel and unwarranted blow to the smaller apple farmers. The veto does not square with the professed determination of the Administration to get the Federal government out of activitiesL which are wasteful of the taxpayers’ money and serve no essential purpose. Apple farmers will find it difficult to understand why the President heeded the plea of bureaucrats of his Department of Agriculture to let them continue the useless and often damaging guessing game on apple prices without giving the apple farmers’ organizations, the American Farm Bureau Federaor the authors of the bill any opportunity to explain why price forecasting on apples has been of no value and has done substantial harm. “In Congressional hearings on this legislation, representatives of (Sw Harruoi— Pip 10) Election Judges For Primary Tuesday, July 12 Judges of Election for Demo- ' cratic Primary, July 12, 1955: Hampton District: Chrales T.

The addition, necessitated by an estimated 70 pupils increase in fall; enrollment, was recommended by the Regional Control Board for the consolidated school. Q. D. Gasque brought the proposal of the Board before the supervisors. He* stated that the school was originally planned 500 pupils. Last j year a 4-room addition took care of 125 additional pupils or a total of 625. pupils. Learning of a prospective 700 enrollment'the Regional Board concurred and agreed upon the addition as the best Solution to the . situation. The addition, costing approximately $8,000, will be taken care of hy funds already in the Regional funds i therefore the building will not require the raising of funds by die member counties. I v Superintendent Gasque reported that die Front Royal, Culpeper, Orange Boards of Supervisors had approved the proposal, (the Madison Board had not convened). 1 A. H. Buckner made a motion "that the Supervisors approve the , nrooosal of die Regional Board land thus authorize the spending ot said funds for the building of the class rooms. W. G.- Campbell seconded the motion and it was carried unanimously. ! ■ ‘The rabies vaccination program was rehashed briefly when Herbert Houser, sanatarian, read a letter , from Almond inviting the county to take part in an overall study of th^ situation in this area. To take part, the Board would first appoint a 6-man committee composed of representative persons,"^or example, the Game Warden, Sanatarian, member of the: Rappahannock Hunt or a supervisor. • This committee would bring their recommendation to the board. Then with the help of ideas gat nished from area meetings a program would be planned along the lines where-the county needed a*. sistance. ' 9r [ The Supervisors said , that they had reviewed the rabies situation in their last meeting andhad voted against- the adoption of any programs. The reasons “con” had not changed. They did not believe the people of the county wanted the compulsory vaccination\ program which would most likely be the result of the study. Therefore it was no need to enter into any study group. A request by ’Mrs. Elizabeth Buntin, Welfare fSupt., j to raise die compensation of the Wed fa re Board members, was met with approval. A motion was made to consider it in the future when the. . supervisors will know more about the condition of the budget. In addition to the abbVe proposal, the Supervisors Approved several sheep claims and discussed smaller matters. Engagement Announced .Mrs. Maggie M. Clater of Sperryville has annoum^ed the engagement of her daughter, Miss 'Jean Clater, to Wilson Joseph Burke of Woodville, son 6f Mrs. Lucy Burke Roberson.

C.'s play the Washington Chiefs were amply rewarded. The game was definitely a pitcher’s dual until the fifth inning when the A. C.'s catcher drove a lone ball to center field for a double and Pickrell followed with a single to right to bring Jenkins home. Pickrell had a no-hitter for seven and two-thirds innings when Scroggins reached him for a clean single to right. Flint Hill’s pitcher was never in trouble until the ninth when all of the A. C. fans had some very anxious moments. The anviety was attributed to a couple of errors caused by the sloping terrain in center Jield and the fact that our center fielder was * converted from catcher to outfielder for this game; With 2 runs across the plate and the tying run on second base, Pickrell renewed his tireless attack. His devastating fast ball and baffling curve proved too much for the opposition and th eside was retired without further ado. We would like to compliment the Chiefs for fielding a very fine team. Never could we say that Flint Hill has a better ball club PITTS DRIVE-IN THEATRE FRONT ROYAL On Slruburg Road THUR. -,FRL, JULY 7 - 8 BING CROSBY CLAUDE DAUPHIN “LITTLE BOY LOST” SATURDAY, JULY » ROCK HUDSON MARCIA HENDERSON STEVE COCHRAN James Oliver Curwood’s “BACK TO GOD’S COUNTRY” (Color by Technicolor) SUN. - MON., JULY 10-11 GREGORY PECK AUDREY HEPBURN “ROMAN HOLIDAY” (Color by Technicolor) TUES. - WED., JULY 12 - 13 ALAN LADD JAMES MASON PATRICIA MEDINA SIR CEDRIC HARDWICKE “BOTANY BAY” (Color by Technicolor) PITTS’ PARK THEATRE FRONT ROYAL Matinee* Daily 3 P.M.

Revision Announced For 4-H Hog Prog* The 4-H market hog showand sale program in Virginia is being revised. ■ j Hugh E. Henderson, 4-H livestock specialist at VPI, says beginning this fall all hogs will be graded by a representative of the State Division of Markets. This falls in line with the new hog-; grading system initiated by the Richmond market this spring. All hogs will be graded upon arrival on the grounds into four grades: U. S. No. 1^ U. S. No. 2, U. S. No. 3, and medium. Only U. S. No. 1 and No. 2 will be allowed to show. Emphasis, Henderson said, will be on quality, in order that the'producer of meattype hogs will be paid accordingly. Over-fat hogs will face a discount, both in the show and sale. By meat type, Henderson means a hog that will yield a high percentage of his live Weight in lean meat cuts. Two-thirds of the prize money will be paid to U. S. No. 1 classes. The remainder will go to U. S. No. 2. Both singles and pens of threes will be shown, but all hogs must grade the same to be shown as a pen of three. After the show all hogs will be sold in groups according to grade.. First show will be held at Front Royal, August lit Bristol, September 14; Orange^ September 6; Richmond, September 30 (in connection with the Atlantic Rural Exposition). Four more will be held next spring. In the production of hogs for the 4-H program, club members should have animals on feed now and weighing 60 to 80 pounds. County agents can give details. Feeding and management front now on will play a big part in. what sort of hogs any individual club member will* have to show and sell. Henderson says that although breeding plays a big part in production of meat-type hogs, many can be "fed into” high grades. Corn Ear Worms Can Be Controlled Com ear worms—which usually beat the consumer to the first tender ears—can be controlled with very little trouble, report entomologists at VPI. In small gardens it is probably easiest to dust- the silks of the com with 5 percent DDT dust. Apply the dust directly to the silks when about 3/4 of the silks are showing, and again when a few of them begin to turn brown. The moth lays the eggs on the.silks and when they hatch out, the small worm feeds there before he eats into the ear itself. For large plantings, use a power sprayer, and a DDT-mineral oil emulsion. This spray has been found most effective for ear-worm control. . . The entomologists also warn gardeners not to forget the everpresent Mexican bean beetle. As soon as you see some of the beetles (they art large brown or yellow ndy-bird beetles with 16 spots on their wing covers) or as soon u you notice that some of the bean leaves have been eaten so they resemble a piece of lace, it's time to get busy. The best control in the home garden is a 3/4% rotenone dust. Since the beetle feeds on the undersides of the bean leaves, the dust must be applied there to be effective. Rotenone is not toxic to humans and therefore may be used without danger even after the bean pods have formed.

News For Veterans, All military service veterans, discharged since July 1951 will find that many occupational skills and technical knowledge acquired through such service are in great demand by the Air Force. Starting July 1, the Air Force will put into operation a new policy which establishes a grade scale for enlistment and reenlist* ment for all prior service person* nel. The grade scale will be based on technical skills and grade held at time of discharge. A choice of area or base assignment is also part of the new policy which favors the discharged veterans. In some cases it carries provision whereby veterans may elect re-enlistment for a. specific overseas theater. The plan was devised to increase procurement of the much needed prior service technician and to insure assignment where skills could be used immediately. Basically, grade determination will be dependent upon skill, date of separation and the need of the occupational field specialty. The plan will be implemented at all USAF Recruiting Stations throughout , the United States. Each station will receive a periodic breakdown of skills categorized in order of needs. The breakdown will encompass all occupational skills used in the Air Force and will be listed in six classifications ranging from needed to surplus. Those in a surplus field can request re-enlistment and re-training in a deeded skill. Veterans having a needed occupational skill will benefit most by the new policy. For some skills the previous 90 day grade enlist ment time limitation has been extended considerably. In some instances where separation date is over 18 months but less 24, the veteran can re-enlist and lost only one grade. Some possessing particular skills who have been seperated over 42 months but less than 48 may reenlist with the loss of only two grades if otherwise qualified. In the past.very few veterans received such consideration for in grade re-enlistment if the time out of service exceeded 90 days. Personnel procurement officials of the 3500th USAF recruiting wing believe that the new policy' carries the answers to many of the re-enlistment problem. By extending the 90-day in grade enlistment period in certain skills one of the prime deterrants to.reenlistment will be eliminated. DO YOU KNOW? 1. Sir Francis Drake’s ship was known as “2.

Chiefs Win 10-9 Over Stevenson Under the sweltering heat of the 4th of July sun, the Rappahannock Chiefs sweated theirs way |o a 10-9 victory over the Stevenson club. Though , minus several regular players, the Chiefs closed their ranks and played first class ball all the way round. Piling up a 6-0 lead in the second inning, the Chiefs stayed ahead all die way though Stevenson narrowed the lead to 1 run ' several times and threatened to move ahead. (This threw a scare into the spectators who had seen the Chiefs pile up an early lead in the Away game with Stevenson, then finally lose as the Stevenson team caught up and passed them, making 1 or 2 runs an inning). Junior Hawkins, who also pitched Sunday’s game, went 5 innings for the Chiefs and was credited with the win. He was jjp' lieved by Clater in the sixth, who held the A. C. to a minimum of hits until Ned Settle went on the mound in the eighth to finish the game. ‘ The big 6 run inning began with singles by Ned Settle, Charles Dodson, and Edward Clark. Bobby Menefee followed suit, bringing in Dodson and Settle. J. Hawkins grounded out. Pete Clater was safe on an error. A sizzling triple by B. Clater scored Menefee and Pete Clater. Pullen flew out to left field advancing Clater and Roxy Clater got into the play with a double that scored B. Clater.' Stevenson’s pitcher bore down to strike out N. Settle and end the rampage. A 6-0 score stood until the 4tn when 2 triples, 3 singles and an error give Stevenson 5 runs. George Pullen tripled and then scored on an error to move the Chiefs to a more comfortable 2run lead in the fourth. . Three final runs were scorea ... the fifth: Charles Dodson singled, E., Clark also connected 'for a single, and Hawkins went to first on a walk. B. Clater doubled to bring in Dodson, Clark and Hawkins. . , Stevenson scored 2 in the sixth and 2 more in the eighth to bring them to only 1 run behind the Chiefs. Tightening up, the Chiefs held, and the game ended 10-9 in favor of the home team. LINE UP % . Rappahannock Chiefs < ab r h P. Clater B. Clater G. Pullen B. Clater N. Settle C. Dodson E. Clark B.

Social Security New* The Alexandria officp of the Social Security Administration has moved to its new location at 11? S. Washington Street, according to an announcement by Robert E. Parsons, assistant manager, who has charge of -the Washington area. Parsons said that, crowded conditions at the old address as a result of additional personnel and the increased number of people visiting the office to file claims and get information about social security, made it necessary to.get into larger quarters. The 1954 amendments to the social security law are responsible for this stepped-up activity in the district office. In RaDoahannock County at the end of 1954, moTC than 200 persons were receiving approximately $7,000 in monthly social security payments. This amount represents an in crease of 140 percent over the benefits being paid at the end of 1953, Parsons pointed out. He added that other improvements in the law did not go into effect until January 1 this year and they will contribute to further increases ip | the total amount of benefits payI able in Rappahannock county, dur| ing this year. ,.

Poultry Tips Given For Summer Eggs will absorb odors from onions, kerosene, and similar products if stored near them for any length of time, VPI poultrymen say. Damage and lowering of grade also results if eggs are stored too long in warm atomospheres, or if given rough treatment. During summer months, the experts say, eggs should be gathered three times a day and stored in a cool, moist place away from anything that might impart an objectionable odor. The temperature should be somewhere between 50 and 65 degrees. Sound shelled eggs should be placed in a pre-cooled container and marketed at least twice a week. Pack eggs with the small end down. Other summer suggestions: Get the loafers out of the flock. Check frequently to see which hens are not laying or are attempting to set. These should be sold or eaten. Unless hatching eggs are being, produced, all males should, be sold or eaten. Experiments have shown that chickens fed in trough feders waste from 28 to 45 per cent of their feed during the first six weeks if the feeders arc filled level full each time they are emptied. Only 2 to 5 per cent was wasted when the feeders were filled half level. r s\Wv Shen-Valley Meat Packers,, Inc., * Timberville, Va.

HARRISON—from ptf. 1 the apple farmers, and of agriculture generally, testified to the damage and confusion caused by these price guesses, when made under auspices of the Federal Government. The only witness in opposition to the bill was a bureaucrat who understandably did not' Want to be told to stop doing what he had been doing at public expense, even if it were useless. It was agreed that the bill would have no effect on the other valuable statistical services of the Department of Agriculture, to which the President refers in his message, and would prohibit only price forecasting unwanted by all who were supported to be served by it. For a number of years,, cotton far mere have, been protected by law against this crystal-balling by Federal bureaucrats on cotton prices. The apple fanners merely thought they were entitled to the same treatment as the cotton farmers. The Congress agreed. The President now has told them they are not.” Mr. Abbitt, a member of the House Committee on Agriculture, recalled that the committee had recommended passage of the bill without a dissenting vote. Rep. W. Pat Jennings of the 9th District, also a member of the committee, had supported the bill actively. “There was agreement in the committee,” Mr. Abbitt said, “that the legislation would have no effect on apple production forecasts or any reporting service of the Department of Agriculture needed and wanted by apple men. The apple farmers didn’t want someone in Washington picking future apple prices out of the air and publishing the predictions under the aegis of the Federal Government. They showed they had been damaged by it. The President ap- parently has decided that the farmers are going to get price guesses from Washington whether they want them or not.” Peola Mills News Dr. Walter Kilby of Maryland spent the week end with Mrs. W.
