Orders for trees for reforestation planting have been slow in Rappahannock County this year but Forester Vernam feels that this is due to the bad winter weather which the county has been having and that as soon as the weather breaks and die first sign of warmer spring weather appears, there will be a rush for trees not only in the county but in the state. In order to be sure of getting trees when they are desired, Forester Vernam advises that landowners considering a planting project place their orders for trees as soon as possible. Technical assistance in planning a reforestation project may be had by contacting Chief Forest Warden Raymond M. Johnson, WoodviUe, Va. or by writing the Virginia Division of Forestry, Box 111, Warrenton, Va. r ifty-hve million trees are available to landowner* for reforesting cutover woodlands and abandoned land. Trees cost $4.50 to $8.50 per thousand trees delivered to die landowner depending on the species of, tree to be planted with approximately 1,000 trees being needed to plant an acre of open land and about 500 trees to restock an acre of cutover land. Loblolly pine, shortleaf pine, white pine, Virginia pine, yellow poplar, black locust ' and black walnut are available. Landowners in Rappahannock County who have ordered trees are Bradley H. Patterson, Woodville; Irvin O. Wolf, Woodville; Wade H. Massie, Jr., Washington;'El A.' Willis, Boston; J. S. Buckner, Sperryville; and Mrs. L. G. Noyes, Huntly.

Mentally, every detail of the trip is recorded, but it is when souvenirs are unpacked that memories really begin. This habit of acquiring while traveling is a very' old ofie, and it reached its apex of quality during the 18th Century when English travelers began to buy paintings and statues during their trips to the continent. Although some were serious collectors, many of them bought paintings which reminded them of the ^Various cities where they had stopped. In fact, an entire group of topographical paintefs was established in Italy to supply this de mand. Venice was the favorite Italian city for the 18th Century tourist, just as it is still the favorite Italian city for the 20th Century traveler. Venice, with its unique.site and its beautiful buildings, enchanted the eyes of the traveler to an extraordinary degrerf, and Venice pioduced two particularly gifted painters who could record its visual aspect with especially tellipg effect. One of these was Canaletto, whose carefully detailed canvases achieved a miracle of clarity. The other was Francesco Guardi (17'2-1793), the painter of ,jhe “Piazza San Marco” illustrated above. Guardi, a member of a painting family and of the minor nobility, brought to his views «k Venice a rather less detailed and a much' more poetic vision than that of Canaletto. That is not to say that his Venetian paintings became poetic statements at the cost of the recognition of the specific views he painted, for the subjects of most of his canvases may be identified even today, just as in the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts’ painting of the Piazza San Marco, which was then, as it is today, the center of Venice’s business activity. In fact, if the costumes were changed and the market stalls were removed f om the base of the Campanile this view would be identical to that seen by the present day traveler. But Guardi’s pleasure in the quality of the Venetian light, so luminous and so different from that of any other city because of its continuous reflection from so many watery surfacees, and the energetic animation with which he invested his canvases have raised this view fron the topographical or the merely representational to a level of the greatest mastery. Indeed, some critics boldly declare him a forerunner of the Impressionists, although in many senses he was more subtle than they, since he created his .most sparkling effects with a ’ limited palette of white, gra^s, blues, ochres and black in contrast to the Impressionists’ use of far more brilliant pigment. i Guardi’s “Piazza San Marco” was purchased in 1953 for the Museum by the Williams Fund, established through the bequest of Adolph D. and Wilkins C. Will* iams. ^apopaooogogaaooaooooBttt 1 Rapp - Chats ! By ft. tL Lrm County Agent Madison County wilt be host of the Area Agronomy School this year to be held on Thursday, February 9th. Not only has the committee arranged for “Top Bracket” speakers, but, as usual, has extended a “warm welcome” to Rappahannock farmers and dealers. The program, which will be held in the War Memorial Building gets underway at 10 o’clock with a fundamental subject: “Using The Soils of Madison and Greene Counties” by none other than our former neighbor, G. R. Epperson. While his topic does not include Rappahannock, similarity of our soils will automatically make his talk apply to us. , . At eleven Allen Kates, who is respected and sought by every Rappahannock farmer who knows him, will lead a discussion on “Weed Control, in This Area”. Weeds have become an economic problem on every farm, in com, alfalfa, pastures, orchards, and there are even weed trees in our forests robbing us of income from wooded acres! With the problems of weed and insect control in Alfalfa plus the problem of chemical residues, many, farmers are wondeeing whether it will or will not pay them to grow the “Queen of Forage Crops” any longer, or what other crop can be substituted; how to get optimum quality from the h%y crop, whs£ ever it might be. John Shoulders, a top flight man on forages will lead this discussion. He will be followedby H. L. Dunton, head of the VPl Agronomy Department, who will talk on “Using the Right Feftilizer.” "Lank” is easy to listen to and his brain is “chock full” of practical ideas. Considering our total Agricultural Outlook; considering the costs of major items farmers buy, his choice of analysis fertilizer, and the amount to be used, is of greater economic importance than ever before! The program will be concluded with a panel of leadiny farmers and businessmen in the field of agriculture; Terry Curtis-Virginia Farm Bureau President and successful dairyman; Turpin Willis, Major Montgomery, Neut Lohr, Price 'Eddins and Frank Walker, Jr.! If these men can’t give you the right scoop on “Feed Production Programs”, I sure don’t know who can. After all, regardless of what Extension Workers or the Research Boys say, the businesses of agriculture are the final proving ground for the production of any farm commodity. Yes siree, Mr. Rappahannock Farmer, thi* is a program you can’t afford to miss. I’ll have seats for four* first cone first served.

BRUCE, Dog Warden Social Security News Is your employer reporting your social security correctly? “Your protection under the law depends upon this,’’ Miss Florence Schaffner, Field Representative of the Alexandria Social Security Office, said today, in urging all workers to protect their own accunts. Miss Schaffner said that earnings of workers are credited from reports of their employers and that most of them faithfully report these earnings year after year. She added that some, such as household employers and farmers who were covered only recently, may not realize their responsibility, and their employees, in particular, should make sure they are protected. , Miss Schaffner explained that post card size forms for checking a worker’s account with social security are available at all district offices and should be used at least, every three years by all workers. If statements returned by social security reveal that earnings are not posted to your record, steps will be taken to correct the omission and insure proper reporting by your employers.

Donations to the 'New March of D:mes’ Will Help Prevent Crippling Diseases Millions of families throughout the United States this month have received March of Dimes "‘mailers.” If the millions on the receiving end of this gigantic mail operation coast-to-coast and in Hawaii and Alaska have not already done so, now is the time to return the familiar envelope with a donation to the county March of Dimes chapter, local leaders urged this week. The world’s largest voluntary health organization is seeking to prevent crippling diseases, with its sights set at birth defects and arthritis and at continued work in polio. These mailers, which reproduce the campaign theme, “Prevent Crippling Diseases— Please Say Yes to the New March of Dimes,” were addressed in great part by selfless volunteers who, by combing through telephone and other directories, were able to “spot” just about every family in their county. Addresses of new homes, hot included in telephone books, were obtained by these volunteers from real estate boards, tax lists, from other official records, and from chambers of commerce Hopefully, «ach of the 44 million families in the United States will have an opportunity to help prevent crippling diseases by contributing to the March of Dimes between now and Jan. 31.

Beware Of CO Gas A killer that can be neither seen nor heard is stalking his prey and only by careful safeguarding against the menace can you moke certain that you will not Sc claimed as a victim. This killer is odorless and tasteless, and unsuspecting motorists often are his victims. The killer is carbon monoxide (co), a gas produced by the incomplete burning of a fuel. This enemy works by entering the lungs of his victims and cutting off the supply of oxygen that must combine with a person’s red blood cells in order to maintain life. To accomplish his mission CO must strike while the victim is confined in a suffv, unventilated place. A person riding or sitting in a tightly closed automobile, subject to a large dose of CO can be killed in as little time as five minutes, in fome instances with no advance warning. Winter drivers particularly are susceptible to this killer. 'Even in cases when the poisoning is not fatal, CO can cause serious illness and even permanent brain damage. Safety officials suspect that in many traffic accidents when drivers report they fell asleep, or were extremely drowsy '.hey actually were suffering from CO poisoning. Adequate ventilation is the only > sure way to safely guard against CO. Motorists who warm up their cars to closed garages are inviting an attack by CO. Persons who drive with faulty exhaust systems ire following a dangerous practice. CO’s danger signals are a tightness across the forehead, throbbing in the temples, tSiredgess, weakness, dizziness, nausea, loss of muscle control and speeded up pulse and breathing. With the severe winter weather we are having in Rappahannock and surrounding areas it is wise to follow these safeguards against CO poisoning: 1. Never allow your automobile's exhausit system to .become faulty. f. 2. Never start your automobile in a closed garage. 3. Never stay in a closed, stationary car with the motor run-) ning. 4. Always keep a window open when the engine is running, and in slow moving, closely spaced traffic, keep air intakes in the front of your car closed to guard against CO from the exhaust fumes of other vehicles. 5. If you Or any of your passengers feel drowsy, stop, get out and get fresh air.

VA Questionnaires Returned Incomplete The annual income punched card questionnairees received by pensioners with the December checks are coming back to the Veterans Administration in great numbers, and as has happened in past years many of the forms are incorrectly answered, some unsigned, and others are completely unintelligible. A few of the common- ei rors in filling out these questionnaires, and ' which may hold up the next pension check, are: 1. All items on the form not properly completed. 2. Items left Wank where the word NONE should be inserted. 3. Widows indicating they are married instead of widowed. 4. lack of supplemental statements to cover items such as “operation of a business,” “sale of property,”,- “Farm income," etc. ' 5. Signatures by X not properlywitnessed. Careful preparation of the questionnaires can save a lot of headaches. Edward M. Mathews, of the Front Royal Office of the Division of War Veterans Claims, is in Washington, Va. at the Clerk’s Office on 1st and 3rd Monday from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. and will gladly give more details on this subject or any other matter connected with veteran’s affairs. _Flint Hill Homemakers Club Meets.

. : . i- I | |j j. ; j. A Rappahannock Farm Finds A, Friend \ *:1!" I Hi! Louemmc Mof/ai / 'Jr--- ‘ .. ' ! 1 [i; i Today we hear, and read, much about “Frontiers”—with emphasis on “The New Frontier." Not many years ago, when one heard, or saw the word, he thought of and visualized the great West_a borderland—beyond settlement and civilization. Now the phrase; “The New Frontier” is seen practically in every newspaper and magazine one picks up. it no longer refers to border lands alone. It refers to Science_every kind of work— every region of thought. The New Frontier is everywhere. In the early 1940’s a great Texan wrote in an Agricultural report to the Honorable Coke R. Stephenson, Governor of the State of Texas, “The old frontier is gone; No new lends lie to the West; Today’s frontier is the Soil beneath our feet. Conservation.not exploitation, will unlock the boundless possibilities of THE NEW FRONTIER, and shower the wealth and blessings of the SOIL upon ALL MANKIND.” Also, in the early 1940’s another Texan, who had caught the same vision, came to Rappahannock looking for a farm. He had left his native Texas when a young mani.._.had come East, became a member of a big business corporation which he served with distinction for a number of years. Then at the end of that service he had come to Virginia. “I’m not retiring,” he said to a, friend, “I’m just changing my work and Mary and I have learned to1 love Virginia. We (it was always we) are not looking for a farm and a house that is all fixed up. We want to find one that has see i better days.yet with enough left to tell obit’s Story, We want to be genuine FRIENDS of the land.do our work for it with understanding.” ! “Mu4«»i!J*" u it looked the day it *u bought by Mr. ud Mr*. R. C. Brook*. He found “Meadowside” where Battle Run crosses the Old Richmond Road near Laurel Mills. The pictures tell a part, butt only a part of the story of his friendship for the land. Green fields, where "once Was brush gave a new face to the place. An old house, faithfully restored added charm. Old outbuildings were studied and restore^ with great care. The old well again tempted one with its clear pure water, which you could have, if you wished, “From the Old Oaken Bucket," that hung in the well. “MudowiMt” rtumxl “Brook•id«” u i| looks today. Tko «Mt brick walk, loading from the road to tko kouta was found under sovoral inckas of soil, but not a brick was missing or brokan. Old fashioned flowering shrubs and many, many boxwood bushes were added. Bird houses were hung here and there. “We do everything we can to bring the birds to us," he said. “Yesterday, I counted 18 different birds!” The magnificent trees of the old place seemed to be his greatest pride and joy. Expense was not spared.the best tree experts were secured to help him take care of them. His joy in them knew no season. In bud his trees rewarded him for the care given_strengthened his faith. In leaf, a place to rest in the shade. In the late afternoon of long summer days their lengthening shadows crept across the grass to the edge of Battle Run_fell on its clear waters. And so it was with everything. 'His trees defied the cruel North Wind, raising their strong bare limbs towards a wintry sky. There was always a New Frontier. Mrs. R. C. Brooks, for whom tho old houso was bought tad faithfully rastorod, stands at tfca foot of tho stops. ''Brooksids”, is now ownod by Capt. and Mrs. John I f. Williams. When the late R. Clifton Brooks purchased “Meadowside”, it had been occupied for a number of years by J. Hunton Wood, a bachelor, who had inherited it from his parents, Ashford Wood and his wife Lucy Smith Wood. Before the Wood family came to “Meadowside”, it had been the home of Mr. and Mrs. Cornelius Smith. Mr. Smith in addition to farming, was engaged in the metchantile business at Laurel Mills. Local history records that when customers came to do their weekly dealing at the general store, they were always dinner guests in the Smith home. "Brookside” is now owned by Mr. and Mrs. John H. Williams. Virginia Traffic Fatalities Reduced Last Year Richmond, Va.—A spectacular reduction of about 12 percent in Virginia's 1960 traffic deaths wasannounced today by Colonel C. W. Woodson, Jr., Superintendent of State Police and Chairman of the Governor’s Highway Safety Committee, as he set the score tentatively at 751 against the 1959 toll of 850. Explaining the word “tentative" as used here, Colonel Wo-xlson explained that a slight upward revision of all statistics might be expected due to late reports and deaths of persons now carried as injured, since such deaths revert to the date of injury for statistical purposes. Colonel Woodson said, however, that not more than five or six extra deaths could normally be expected. This marked the third consecutive year Virginia deaths have been reduced from the 912 of 1957. In the light of a rise of about 1.8 percent in traffic volumes, he was certain that the lowest death ■ ate (deaths per 100 million miles^ of travel) would again be estimated and estimated it would be alound 4.4 against an estimated national one of 5.3. He,noted that the all-time high for Virginia was 24.2 in 1935. Pedestrian deaths dropped from 171 to 158 to approach the all-time low of 151 in 1958. The record high was 343 in 1*941. Deaths of servicemen were halved with 31 in 1960 and 62 in 1959. Here, Colonel Woodson had a word of praise for the comprehensive safety programs in force at many Virginia military installations. Crashes killing more than one person dropped drastically from 91 which killed 225 people in 1959' to 65 which killed 14-4 last year. “We were fortunate in this category,*’ he observed, “and we cam not escape the fact that it contributed materially to our large reduction.” vHe then explained that any factor causing a fatal crash can kill as many people as happen to occupy the involved vehicles but who do not contribute to the crash. •Crashes in which the vehicle had no contact with another vehicle fell from 307, killing 34°, to 266 which killed 289. Urban deaths were up from 126 to 131 but this increase was heavily counterbalanced by a drop from 724 to 620 in rural fatalities. “Virginia won the Grand Award of the National Safety JUST R10HT FOR YOUR BE HE?

Prices have been easing up steadily since the first week in December for a net gain of about a dollar, even though slaughter has' -been running pretty consistently above a year earlier. Marketings were down somewhat during the first two weeks in January, which may mean they will be up for the last two weeks, but probably not enough to'break prices. The State graded fat cattle sale in Fredericksburg January 26 will give an indication of buyer sentiment on slaughter prices. One thing that has been holding hogs. Declines in hog slaughter compared to a year ago have jus; about offset increased beef slaughter, to put total red meat supplies at about the same level as a year earlier during September, October, NOTICE All persons indebted to the estate of A J.

Since the first of the year, total red meat supplies this year are well under last year at the same time, jut this is tempormr. However; it las held wholesale beef prices up. Another help to cattle prices has been fhat with plenty of cheap feed, there has been an orderly marketing pattern, with no bunchings to start prices skidding. It also looks as if demand has sicked up more or less permanently for beef. Increases in beef supplies this past few months have not brought price decreases in propor. :ion. < Oi Virginia auctions last week, :hoice slaughter steers averaged $26.25, Good grade $2425 and Standard $22.25. In Chicago, daughter steers topped at $29.50, with Choice and Prime at $26.25 to $29, Good and Choice at $25.50 to $27, and Good grade steers at $24.50 to $2625. V HAY If you have hay you know you are going to sell, now is a good time to hunt a buyer. ' Demand is light, 'hut k will probably be even lighter later on. Holding, you are gambling oh bad weather, which baled out farmers with hay to sell last year. Meanwhile, hay being imported from the west is pretty much setting a ceiling on dealer prices, at least half for alfalfa Farm prices for hay in the barn last week were running as high as $40 a ton for U.S. Number One Alfalfa, but there was preciou little of this grade to be had. Number two leafy alfalfa was bringing $30 to $35 and straight Number Two alfalfa, which was mostly first cuttings, $25 to $28.
