Dr. Gaines Speaks At Dedication “The Civil War was not necessary, as claimed by some, to make us truly a united nation,” Dr. Francis Pendleton Gaines declared when he spoke Sunday in Washington, D. C. He spoke at ceremonies in the Washington Cathedral to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Peace Convention, called by Virginia in a futile attempt to avoid the war. The ceremony was sponsored by the Virginia Civil War Commission. Dr. Gaines, who is chancellor of Washington and Lee University, said that the Peace Convention was right in its undertaking, even though it failed. "War, with its tidal waves of destruction and slaughter and grief, is the answer to no human problem, and it is an insult to the intelligence that God gave us that we cannot find other answers,” Dr. Gaines said. During the ceremony a large bronze plaque was dedicated to hoiioi all those who participated in the Peace Convention. This historic meeting was called at the request of the Virginia General Assembly and was held in the old Willard Hotel February 4-27, 1861. Altogether 121 delegates took part, representing 21 of the then existing 34 states. The plaque, donated by the Virginia Civil War Commission, will be placed on the front of the Willard Hotel later this week.

"If re-elected to the General Assembly,” Mr. Frost said, “I expect to continue to support sound conservative issues.” He listed one of the issues as the belief “that segregated schools will be for die best interest for all citizens of Fauquier and Rappahannock Counties.” During his campaign for reelection, Delegate Frost said he “expects to support Albertis S. Harrison for Governor.’’' Of occasional criticism that he did not support the national nominees of the Democratic Party during last fall’s Presidential election, Mr. Frost cites a quotation from a news story in the Fauquier Democrat, of October 6, 1960—“Delegate Tom Frost ... is an ardent supporter of U. S. Representative (Howard) Smith and Senator (A. Willis) Robertson. So far as the Presidential campaign is concerned, he has said nothing publicly except that he has always voted for the Democratic party and expects to vote the straight Democratic ticket.’’ in tne Virginia Advisory legislative Council, and then during die 1960 Assembly session, Mr. Frost was chief patron of the InterState Highway Billboard Bill.

LATHAM, Managing Editor Entered aa Socond Claas Mail aj the Post Office at Washington, Va. SUBSCRIPTION (in advance) -——-— 12.60 PER YEAR Letter To The Editor Dear Sir: In your* county there are young folks who iire eager to become Well qualified for the future. $fetny of them, no doubt, have access to good elementary and high school programs. The establishment of a good foundation for advanced or special* ized training is not a problem for them. We are* told, however, that many schools in the Southern Appalachians are very limited in their offerings. This causes some young s folks considerable difficulty in col■ lege admission because they have been unable to get the courses needed in science, mathematics, and language. Then, there may be those who want or need some special high school work, such as industrial - arts, business, music, and art, that is not available in their local schooUi|There are others who live in surntjemote areas that no schools are easij available to them. Few popple realize there are still several private elementary and high schools in the mountain area that are in a position to be of help to these fine young folks who really want to move forward. Ut these schools the foundation School of Berea Col liege is fully accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and by the Department of Education of the state of Kentucky. In the ungraded classes over-age students and others who have been delayed in their education may move along as rapidly as they are able. There is a wide range of high school classes designed to get students ready for college or for specialized work such as business, im dustrial.-afts or practical nursing. It is a school where a student may, while learning, earn a part or all of his school expenses. The practical training received in the various work activities may be of inestimable value. Any space you may give to bring to the attention of those who need such opportunities the benefits offered by the Foundation School would be a public service to the young people of your county. Roy N. alters, Dean Foundation School Berea, Kentucky Social Security News Most workers and self-employed people are having earnings credited to their social security account regularly, according to Miss Florence Schaffner, Field Representative of the Alexandria Social Security Office. This statement dose not apply ; to some people, notably, the household workers who are not receiving „! credit under the social security program for their work. 1 - There ary cases on file in the local social security office where it was necessary to contact as many as six different employers for information concerning domestics they employed. These cases came to our attention' when a benefit claim was filed and the record of wages did not show credit for do- i mestic employment. The employer Simply did not report the wages to the Director of Internal Revenue for the employee. It was necessary to contact the employer for information concerning the wages that should have been reported for social security purposes. ‘ All persons who pay household help $50 or more in cash wages during a three month period, must report the wages to the Director of Internal Revenue. Earnings as low , as $4 a week during each of the “ 13 weeks in a calendar quarter will equal $52, and this amount must Jbe reported. Miss Schaffner stated that the local social security office has several pamphlets which explain the law as it relates to the domestic worker and the employer. These pamphlets are available upon request and they are free of charge. • “Don’t take a chance,” Miss Schaffner advised. “Report your household employees promptly and properly, and your worker will have bis or her earnings credited fo social security purposes.” Carmel Pie (Baptist Meeting) A fifty year old treat, stays with me still, Eating some carmel pie, in dear old Amissville. The long tables were piled, with all kinds of food, If you did not partake they thought ’ you were rude. Most folks were hearty, obesity wasn’t a sin, They took pleasure in eating, nearly all were kin. There was a roast pig, with an apple in his mouth, < Cooked as no other, except in the deep South. I remember other things, but the one until I die, Is the delicious taste of that carmel P'e. I don’t know who baked it and:l don’t guess I ever will, Know; the name of its baker, around old Amissville. Memories of the deep past, usually end in a sigh. But my mouth is still watering, for that caramel pie. F. M. R. • • • • * In a note to me, our poet from Dunbar, IV. Fa. said the date of the Baptist Meeting was about 1910 and Cousin Burl Frank Bywaters brought the roast pig. A. boy of fourteen could really eat at one of those all-day meetings.

The Pleasures of Renoir "jEUKES irfr T ,<l ffH Few people tare pleasure in their work and fewer admit it when they do, for work has been regarded traditionally with a solan, if not a downright jaundiced, eye. But when Pierre Auguste Renoir’s (1841-1919) master said to him in a disapproving way, "You seem to take painting as a pleasure," Renoir promptly answered, “Quite true, if painting were not a pleasure to me I should certainly not do it.” This sensation of pleasure never left Renoir throughout his long life and is abundantly apparent in all of die more than 4,000 plantings lie produced during it. . Renoir was bom in Limoges, His father, who was a tailor," apprenticed him at fourteen to a china painter in Paris and he quick, ly found his way to the Louvre where he studied the collections. The china factory where he had been apprenticed became, bankrupt when he was seventeen, and he supported himself, first by painting fans and later by painting copies of religious pictures for a firm which sold them to missionaries.' j Since he painted quickly and was paid by the piece, he had saved enough money to allow him to enter Gleyre’s Academy when he was twenty-two. Soon he had a studio where the young painters who founded the Impressionists often met. By 1864 he had exhibited at the official Sakm and he spent die time before the 1870 war establishing his reputation and painting both in the studio and outside. After the war he found he could bring in cash by painting portraits, a genre which he tended' to turn to over a period of many years whenever the need for money was pressing. - ■ ' , But by 1879 he was firmly enough established that he could marry, and in 1883 he had an exhibition of over seventy paintings at Durand Ruel, the Parisian dealers who had beatTastute enough to buy many of fie Impressionists paintings beforef the public had begun to appreciate diem. From 1889 On he embarked on ft senes or paintings ot two young girb who had become his models. They reappear in canvas after canvas, gradually growing into young women and serving as a basic theme for the master’s art of the nineties. The Virginia Museum of Fine Art’s “Jeunes Filles Regaidant un Album," the gift of the Williams fund, is one of this long series. It was painted about 1892 while Renoir and his family were still living in Montmartre. The girls are charmingly arranged within the frame of the canvas, and the brilliant pallette which Renoir so loved has rarely been used to such good effect. His fondness for slightly generalized, slightly plump peach-ripe forms so familiar in his later paintings, is already evident in the “Jeunes Filles,” who have the marvelous sunny quality of all confident young animals. The canvas, too, is Imbued with the pleasure Renoir always took in painting. ONLY YOU CAN PREVENT FOREST FIRES! r ’ - •: , v v.

O. Fears, Jr., M. D., Director .County Health Department, made, this statement as he urged motorists to install seal belts in their cars and use them to help reduce the toll of injury and death in traffic accidents on highways, j “In a crash that would normally eject you from your car, your chances of survival are five times greater if seat belts are worn,” the Health Director stated. “An d when one considers that two-thirds of our traffic deaths occur at speeds under fifty miles and hour, die importance of the seat belt in restraining the driver or passenger, thus minimizing chances of severe injury from contact with unyielding metal and glass structures with in the car, is obvious.” ^ , "Get seat belts for yourself and ybur family,” Dr. Fears urged. "Use them for all trips. The best available statistics show that 75% of the deaths occur within 25 miles of the victim’s residence.” j Here are five benefits that seat belts afford you if you crash: j 1. Keep you from being ejected. 2. Reduce the impact if you should hit an interior surface, i 3. Help keep ihe driver in his seat after a jolt and enable him to maintain better control of his car. 4. Help you' survive crashes 'which would otherwise mean certain death. ! 5. Reduce fatigue by keeping the driver in a comfortable upright position while driving longer distances. “But,” Dr Fears pointed out, "seat belts are no substitute for common sense. The best way to avoid being killed or injured is not to crash. But, if you crash in- spite of all you can do to avoid it, you’ll be glad you’re wearing your seat belt.” I \ . u Amisavil/e News \ Mrs. J. L.

Heart Fund Goal Set At $415,000 # A goal of $415,'000 for the 1961 Heait Fund Campaign in Virginia was announced at the Campaign Kick-Off Dinner at Hotel Jefferson, Richmond, Thursday evening, February 2nd. This announcement was made by Wallace R. Heatwolc, Waynesboro, State Heart Fund Campaign Chairman, who urged his audience to use this goal as “a guidepost ^ and not a hitching post. Let us not be satisfied with leaching this figuic, but let us be satisfied only by surpassing it. If we can arrest heart disease, that we know to be our Number One Killer, we have achieved cur goal. In continuing, Mr., Heatwolc pointed out that since 1949, a total of 510,000 Virginia Heart Fund dollars have been allocated to the support of heart research.

Baker, Jr., Associate Professor of Mediane, Johns Hopkins University, addressed the audience on “Progress Against Heart Disease. _ He is one of a group studying the relationship between fat in the diet and hardening of the arteries. -The speaker pointed out that over half of the deaths caused by diseases ot the heart and circulatory system are “directly related to atherosclerosis or hardening of the arteries.” ' He said that,at one time hardening of,the arteries was considered a wearing out disease of the aged, but now we know it is not. “It is a progressive disease wheih does not depend on age,” he said. “There is no single cause of atherosclerosis. It is a constellation of causes, some of which are heredity, lack of physical activity, stress and strain, tobacco, over-nutritiOn, sex, and diet.” >He said that atherosclerosis below the age of 50 is principally the disease of men, with the ratio being about 25-1. This age group of women have the protection afforded by female sex harmones. Dr. Baker stressed also the importance of cardiac rehabilitation. Marriage Announced Mr. and Mrs. Arthur R.

Seconds count ini fire-fighting and every second that a call for help is delayed lets a fire get larger.

The sad part of j this drainage on the community is that, more often than not, the long-distance shopper spends more than he would at home. This doesi not refer to extra money spent on travel costs r and the value of wasted time. What is the explanation for the shopping wanderlust which plagues so many communities? There are several explanations: Some people just want an excuse to go somewhere. Some people think it is smait to say that they went shopping in Metropolis or Cosmopolis. Some ju. * insist on doing things the hard way. But most of the wandering shoppers are just ordinary hard-pressed consumers who honestly believe the grass is greener over the hill. The realistic local merchant should try to understand the basis for this latter class of out-of-town shopping. It is a situation in which he shares the blame. Out-of-town shopping is most often the result of advertising which comes into local communities in regional publications. The local merchant who neglects his adveitising should not be surprised when potential customers look to outside firms which do provide essential shopping information.

Confederate Ship Rap, h '' . Louemma Moffett p»rt)[ On February 27 j 1862, Stephen R. Mallory, Secretary of the Navy, 1861-1865, reJ efferson armed steamer Confederate States, porter) to President Davis .... “The 'Rappahannock’, under the command of Lieutenant Lewis is on the Rappahannock River.” (The aimed steamer “Rappahannock” was destroyed by fire . . the details are not available to this writer. It had been a question as to whether it was Ian accident or an enemy action, j To replace her, a British Naval steamer was bought, named for her . and plans were mjade to fit her with four 70-pound Whitworth guns. Her story, obtained from the official records of |the Navy Department is spreajd on over 43 pages and points tojthe tremendous tasks undertaken . ^ . the difficulties the gallant men of the Confederate Navy encountered on the sea in foreign countries drat were not always friendly, surrounded by enenmy spies.) There was always the question as to the position England and France took towards the Confederacy and moving armed drips was • tnost difficult. They were always exposed to search and seizure. , Ships sometimes wire forced to go to sea under a foreign flag, sometimes to reinforce their crew from a prize. The “Rappahannock" finally was able to clear the English port and make it to the harbor of Calais, France, where she hoped to he fitted with a battefy. After die “Rappahannock” arrived at Calais, SL Barron, Flag Officer, wrote to Hon. S. R. Mallory, Secretary of jdie Confederate Navy, "The agreeable duty is devolved on me of conveying to you information of the;uniforjn courtesy and kindness shbwn to the officers attached to, ind doing duty, board the vessels which have on the Naval undergone repair Station of Calais.” The courtesy was not to last. The “Rappahannock" did not get her batttery, andj it was decided that the "Georgia” must give up hers, the time an<) place to be decided upon. report was receive Department: “The steam ship “RappahanShortly thereafter, the following ed at the Navy STOP!

She left Sheerness on the 25th of November without armament or equipment for war purposes, and was compelled to seek the French port of Calais to repair and adjust her engines, and to complete indispensable preparations for a voyage to the Confederate States. The officer in command reported the arrival of his ship_her condition—and crew— and asked permission to repair. This being promptly granted by / the French authorities, the neces' sary work was performed, the ship prepared for sea without her armament. Then by an extraordinary and unfriendly order of the French Government, she was prevented from proceeding to sea with more than 35 officers and men_although her commander on arrival had officially reported his ship’s company at 100 men. Thirty-five men were deemed insufficient for the management of the vessel and she is consequently detained in the port of Calais.” After much delay the officers of the “Rappahannock” were able to make another plan. A place of rendzvous on the coast of Africa was selected for the “Georgia” to meet the "Rappahannock” and transfer her battery. The “Georgia” reached the place of rendzvous, . ~ sailed around in die most beautiful weather for six days, hoping that the “Rappahannock” would soon meet her. She never did—TheFrench Government again had showed herself unfriendly. ' Such were the fickle fortunes of war. The Commanding Officer wrote to the Secretary t»f the Confederate Na\v, “Our present’position is mortifying—if not humiliating.” Over in Mexico the French were “wiping their feet on the Monroe Doctrine.” Sources of information.: Official Records of the Union and Confederate States in die “War of Rebellion,’ published under the direction of the Hon. Josephus Daniel, Secretary of the Navy. Emergency Wildlife Feeding Virginia’s state game commission" is now engaged in a three-part effort to provide emergency rations for snow-bound wild birds and am. mals throughout the state. Commission officials are proceeding with this program knowing, they say, that winter feeding has some disadvantages. Step number one has been to •provide each state game warden in an area where an “emergency” exists with a limited amount of com, wheat or barley for bobwhite and wild turkey feeding. The Commis sion considers an “emergency” to exist in a county when at least six inches of snow have remained on the ground there for more then 15 days. Game wardens can enlist the aid of other Commission employees and available Commission equipment and will also welcome the assistance of interested citizens. They can encourage sportsmen’s clubs and individuals to provide food on a voluntary basis as well. Step two concerns the feeding of concentrations of waterfowl in frozen-over costal waters. The Commission’s game wardens distributed 100 bushels of com near the few areas of open water in Back Bay on January 31st to help hungry ducks until they could return to their-, submerged aquatic plant diet. Step three involves mailing' to interested citizens the free, illus trated pamphlet, “Netting Boxes, Feeding Stations, Bird Houses and Wildlife Shelters.” This and other related publications have been sent to hundreds of individuals by the Commission (Box 1642, Richmond 13) in recent weeks as an aid to “do-it-yourselfers” who request the information.

Established 1928 Phone YA 5-9820 BRANDY STATION, VIRGINIA J Extreme weather in the Deep South will also cut down some on broiler supplies. Broiler prices have been running ahead of last year during most of January, despite larger supplies. With die gap narrowing, there is every indication of underlying strength. Looking a link farther ahead, prices probably will not hit die 19cent peak they readied in March of 1960. Supplies this year increase steadily from now on, without die dip they took early in February last year. This same upward trend gets steeper as the spring advances. It the present trend of placements continues, broiler supplies could get as high as 25 per cent above a year ago. Lower supplies of pork with high retail prices have helped the demand for chicken meat. .But by May hog production will be on the increase which coupled with heavier bepf supplies could be rought on broiler prices unless production is cut back. The Virginia broiler prices last week were 17 to 17% with North Carolina at 16 and DelMarVa at 18 to 19. Broilers on Georgia auctions ran 16.8 to 16.9 cents, with buyer* offering 16 cents as a tentative paying price at the farm. Corn should show its normal' seasonal strength, with room for a 10 cents a bushel increase in the eastern part of the state and five to eight cents in the Valley by May. January 1 corn stocks were reported seven per cent above last year for a new record, but much of this was held off the market in CCC hands. Virginia prices appear to be making a normal seasonal advance, and corn futures indicate that the trade expects this situattion to continue. Number two yellow shelled corn in Richmond last week was quoted at $1.24, with Norfolk $120, the Valley $1.35 to $1.40 and Northern Neck points $1.18 to $1.25.

A birth certificate is the best evidence, but if not available, there are many other types of evidence which will prove age, such as baptismal certificate, insurance policy, family Bible, etc. Evidence of recent earnings ijflay , also be needed to establish your monthly payment The 1960 withholding tax statement (Form W-2) is the best evidence for an employee. The self-employed should bring copies of the'two previous years’ tax' return and evidence to show that tax ^returns were filed with Internal Revenue Service. A cancelled check, money order stub, or bank receipt is sufficient evidence to show that the return was filed. If married, and your wife is also applying for monthly benefits, evidence of her age will also be required. Miss Schaffner stated if you have any doubt about what evidence will be needed to process your claim, call the social security office before you retire and the representative will be glad to explain just what evidence you might need. If you have the necessary proofs when you apply for benefits, it will help speed up your first check. Front Royal Livestock ■ Market Front Royal, Va.
