When Mr. Alvin Atkins reported for work Wednesday morning, he discovered the break-in. Entry to the building was made through the rear door into the auditorium. From there the vandals broke the small glass panes in three other doors and forced open three steel doors to get into a supply room and the principal’s office. Among supplies stolen, as well as could be ascertained, vyere 6 quart cans of government meat and gravy; 5 No. 10 cans of string beans; 4 No. 10 cans of peas; 25 pounds of hamburger and 15 pounds of butter. Approximately $18 in cash, bills and silver was also taken. ^ To date the case has not been solved, although G. I.

Washington Fire Department Named Jobber For Fire Extinguisher**- -t.-'::: Announcement has been made by the Philadelphia manufacturing firm of M. L. Snyder and Son of the appointment of the Washington Volunteer Fire Department as their exclusive distributor in Rappahannock Qounty. The Snyder organization manufactures a complete line of fire extinguishers, fireman’s equipment, etc. On March 1st the members of the WVFD will start selling to the home owners, farmers, garage owners, and industrial plants in the County the finest fire extinguisher available on the .market today, the“Stempel” 2 3/4 lb. No. 503 extinguisher. It is a dry chemical pressurized fire extinguisher with Underwriters Laboratories, Factory Mutual, Interstate Commerce Commission, and U. S. Coast Guard approval, as to either meeting or exceeding their quality specifications. The unit has a 6:B-C rating and is capable of‘extinguishing most fires. Of particular note is its effectiveness against electrical and fires of an oily nature. Cost is always a prime factor in determinig the salability of any article and we have in this extinguisher a “real bargain” for all the people of Rappahannock. The unit will sell for $11.00 each in the home model and $11.50 each in the truck or tractor model. If three or more combined units are bought at one time there will be a reduction in price of 50 cents per unit, or the home extinguisher will cost $10.50 each, and the truck and tractor extinguisher will cost $11.00 each. In comparison, a large national mailorder house with a Philadelphia warehouse sells a 4:B-C fire extinguisher for $10.60, and another large national mail-order chain with a Baltimore warehouse sells a 4:B-C fire extinguisher for $10.48, both prices delivered in Rappahannock. Thus, the WVFD will sell you a fire extinguisher with 50 per cent greater extinguishing ability at approximately the same price or even less. The refilling of this extinguisher can easily be accomplished by its owner. The WVFD will always stock the refill kits, and they will sell for $3.00 each. Using the same two national mail-order houses as price comparisons, one sells the refill for $2.66 and the other for $4.43. And remember, their unit is only 2/3’s effective compared to the unit which will be sold by the WVFD. In the event a person does not like our recommended fire extinguisher, the WVFD will be able to supply the person with any type extinguisher. The Snyder people also manufacture “Soda Continued on page hveh’" i Two Injured In Accidents At Work Harvey Tharpe of Culpeper, Va. was severely burned Friday while working on a construction job in Bethesda, Md.

Manufacturing Company Takes Option On 43-Acre Farm Near Flint Hill Last week Aileen, a garment! manufacturing company, signed an option on 43 acres of land near Flint Hill. This company has for some time been interested in locating a plant in this county. The land is known as the “Robert Grimsley Farm” at Pullen Town and is now owned by M. R. Bradford, Jr. of Flint Hill. Formerly the company had No Injuries In Bus— Auto Accidnt There were no injuries when a i Rappahannock County school bus was involved in a minor accident at 12:30 Friday near Scrabble. Due to snow, school had been dismissed early and the bus was carrying children home. As the bus driver, Garfield Burke, made a left turn ■ off of Route 522, Robert Krug, of Oil City, Pa., appaently attempted to pass. As Krug tried to stop, he skidded on the ice into the side of the bus. He was driving a 1959 Chrysler sedan. Damages to the two vehicles amounted to $400.00.

RAIMA HAN NOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At Washington, Rappahannock County, Virgin* TELEPHONES WASHINGTON 675-2851 BASII C BURKE, JR. Owner MRS. SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Entered as Second Class Mail at the Post Office at Washington, Va. SUBSCRIPTION (in advance).$2.50 PER YEAR , THE UNITED NATIONS This United Nations is a very difficult proposition to understand. The natives in the Congo want the Belgians out, so they get the United Nations to put plenty of pressure on the Belgians in the Congo, and the Belgians ask why? The united nations say because the Congolese must have the right oi self determination and you should get out. The Belgians get out and what happens? The Congolese suddenly start killing one another andsdraping missionaries and so forth ^ntil it is necessary for the United Nations to send several armies to stabilize the situation. In the process, the United Nations spend so much money they are running out of credit. Then to make matters worse, along comes this Tshombe and says Catau'ga, the richest most westernized province of j he Congo, should seceed and be independent. The Congo/ asks why? and Tshombe says because we want self determination just like you and the United Nations are talking about. We agree with you this self determination is a fine i ing. Now the United Nations rtiust be tired of this self determination because it says to Tshombe and Catauga produce, no self determination for you. So Tshombe fights the United Nations which costs the United Nations even more money and their credit is really running out. Probably it is this lack of credit that makes the United Nations look the other way and take no action when India invades Portugese Goa. And it is this lack of credit that makes President Kennedy say the United States taxp yers fund rmist buy 100 million dollars worth of United N tons b -nds.Of course these bonds will be redeemed by cont ibutions from the United Stat s Treasury. Like I say, this United Nations is a very difficult proposit ion to understand ... or could it be the United States that is more difficult to understand. , Snow-Ski-Snow The snow came on Friday as the weather man had predicted. As soon as school closed at noon it stopped snowing, but the Sweetheart Dance at Rappahannock High School had already been called oil again. The Skyline Ski Resort was well patronized. The temperature was cold enough to make artificial snow some of the snow on the east and south ^outh of the mountain had melted ’Sujxday, the northern slope was good. The sight of the day f Missionary Meeting The W.S.C.S. of Amissville Methodisj^Church met at the church Wednesday with 14 members present. Three new members were enrolled, Mrs. Barbara Williams, Mrs. Grace Green and Mrs. Nannie Weakley. Mrs. lEddie Hitt was hostess for the meeting. on Sunday was a father with a small child strapped on his back papoose style, enjoying himself thoroughly on the slope and rope tow. What Is RAD? By Miss Barbara Jones Home Agent Since, the introductory meeting of Rural Area Development, people in the community have been asking "What is RAD? how does it affect me?” Committee chan-men have asked to have their role defined. The purpose of RAD is the development of our natural resources to their fullest potential. By natural resources is meant not only natural resources in the strict sense of the word, our soil, forests, etc., but also developing our people, our standard of living, our health, our home life. Committee members will be meeting to determine county problems to set goals for solving these problems then work towards their solutions. Where do the Social Development Committees fit in to the RAD program? Census figures show that only 16.1 per cent of the homes in Rappahannock County have plumbing facilities. 1 Perhaps there is something the RAD Committee might want to do to help raise this percentage. Did you know that only 10 p4r cent of our homes have central heating? * Perhaps several committees will work together to solve one problem. For instance the Education, Home and Youth Committee might work cooperatively with the Health Committee to educate our people for improved nutrition. This could be done through help from the schools, the Home Demonstration Clubs and through special interest meetings. These are just a few ideas. You take it from here. Put your thinking cap on prd give your ideas and suggestions to a committee member. If we pH work together, the county will benefit. Let’s all work for the progress in Rappahannock County. Mrs. C. J. Miller was hostess for the February coffee hour after Sunday service at Trinity Church. Dr. and Mrs. Howard Berger were up from Arlington to be at Clairmonte for the weekend. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Lee Smith and daughter, Molly, were the Sunday dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. D. B. Smith in Fairfax.

The Ancestry Of George Washington From an authenticated copy of the last will and testament of George Washington of Mt. Vernon published by A. Jackson, Washington, D. C., which contained also notes of 'his ancestry, we reprint the following. George Washington. The pro-1 genitor of the Washington’s of, whom this Testator was one, seems to have been William De Hertbern, of Norman origin, whom we; find in the century succeeding the conquest of William, in possession of certain estates held of the Bishop de Pusaz in knigbt’s fee, situated in Durham, England. The! surname De Hertbern was taken from a village on the Palatinate which he held of the bishop, supposed to be ' the same now called Hartburn on the banks of the Tees. The first actual mention we “ find of the family is in die Bolden * Book. (Irving’s Life of Washington. Vol. I) ) In this it is stated that William de Hertbern had exchanged his village of iH'ertbern for the manor and village of Wessyngton in the same diocese, paying the bishop certain quit-rents, etc. .This occurred in 1183, the earliest data to which we can trace, and it seems that from this period forward the family assumed the name of De Wessyngton. About the time of the reign qf Henry VT, the de or <F was generally dropped from surnames, and the title of armiger, esquire, amongst the head of families, and generosus, or gentleman, among younger sons substituted; and we find the. family name of the Testator to vary from Wassyngton to W a s s i n g t o<n, Washington, and finally to Washington. The branch of the family to which our Washington immediately belongs sprang from Lawrence Washington, Esq., of Gray’9 Inn; son of John Washington, of Warton in Lancashire. This Lau rence Washington received from Henry VIII, in 1538, the grant of the manor of Sulgrave in Northamptonshire, and was known in 1620 as “Washington’s Manor.” We have little note of the Sulgrave branch of the family after the death of CharlesI and the exile of his successor. In 1655 the persecutions of • Cromwell drove many of the adherents of the house of Stuart from England, and many of their party who had no share in the conspiracy, sought refuge in other lands. This may have been the case with two brothers, John and Andrew Washington, greatgrandsons of the grantee of Sulgrave. These brothers arrived in Virginia in 1657, and purchased lands in Westmoreland County on the northern neck, between the Potomac and Rappahannock Rivers. John married a Miss Anne Pope, "of the same county, and resided at Bridgs Creek near where it falls into the Pitomac. We afterwards find bime as Colonel of Virginia forces, cooperating with those of Maryland against a band of Seneca Indians. His grandson, Augustine SEE OUR WINDOW FOR BARGAINS FOR GEORGE WASHINGTON'S ! BIRTHDAY Everything in the Window At Unbelievable Prices! BUY WHERE YOU CAN BORROW AT A and H Loan Co. Front Royal, Va. 407-A East Main St. Washington, the father of our Washington was A^rn at Bridge’s Creek in 1694. l¥e (vas twice married: first (April 20, 1715) to Jane, daughter of Caleb Butler, Esq., of Westmoreland County, by whom he had four children, of whom only two, Laurence and Augustine, survived the years of childhood; their mother died November 24, 1728 and was interred near the remains of Col. Washington, at Bridge’s Creek. On the 6 of March 1730, he married in second nuptials Mary, daughter of Colonel Ball, the belle of the Northern Neck. By her he had four sons, George, Samuel, John Augustine, and Charles; andtwo daughters, Elizabeth, or Betty as Mildred, who died in infancy, she was commonly called, and George, the eldest, the American soldier, statesman and patriot, was born 22nd February, in the I old Washington homestead .on1 Bridge’s Creek. .

Jliott'i, 3>e*t By C. B. Palmer The regular supper meeting of the Rappahannock Lion’s Club was held at Hampton Inn February 14, seven p.m. We are proud to announce that there was one hundred per cent attendance with one visitor present. We are always happy to have Mr. Johnson, from Culpeper, visit us. He is indeed one of our most ardent supporters. It was decided that there would be no meeting in Rappahannock on the next scheduled meeting date. The entire club will visit the Culpeper Club for their next meeting. It was a pleasure for all members to have the opportunity to honor Lion Harry Lee Smith for his excellent work during the recent fruit cake drive. He sold over a hundred of the cakes and was presented a leather briefcase from the club. In acceptance the token of appreciation from Jim Bill Coates, Lion President, Harry Lee stated, “I am sure that the proceeds from this sale go to help others a great deal but I am equally sure that in so serving others, I have reaped the greatest benefits, by far.” Such a statement truly re fleets the spirit of Lionism and any 21ub however small, that can boast such members can not help but serve the community well. Again we thank you, Lion Smith. Don’t forget, Lions, next meeting in Culpeper. Call Lion Jim Bill Coats to make arrangements for travel. 1 ! ! !

FROM HERE, WHERE? The Rappahannock Planning Committee Chairmen met last Wednesday (Feb. 14th). No valentines but got a job done. Based on suggestions trom others, organizations end their own judgment they (Ned Johnson, Jim Massie, Herbert Barksdale, Sarah Latham, Raymond Johnson. John Cargill, Frank Louches, Professor Winfrey, Harriet Stokes, Barbara Gentry, Frances Thornton and Jessie Miller Turner) named the following committees to help develop Rappahannock's human and economic resources to its optimum potential. Agriculture Committee: Jas. Massie, Chr., T. V. Williams, Allen Stokes, Newbill Miller, Herbert Foster, J. M. O’Bannon. Business and Industry: H. S. Barksdale, Chr., Capt. L. B. Stuart, C. B. Johnson, Flay Cannon, M. R. Bradford. Public Service and Utilities: Mrs. Sarah Latham, Chr., Gen. Daniel Noce, Tom Pillar, Emory Russell, Jas. W. Fletcher. Forestry and Conservation: Raymond Johnson. Chr., Lucio Kilby, C. B. Palmer, Aubrey North. Markets and Public Relations: John Cargill, Chr., Edward Harris, Merrit Greely, I. L. Parrish, Nils Tholand, Marion Watts, Ned Jones. — These groups will be concerned with economic development. Since progress can’t be had in one with- j out involvement of the other; 1 committees selected to work on human development were as follows : Religious Affairs: Jessie Miller Turner, Chr., Rev. J. B. Hodge, Mabel Lillard, Mrs. C. B. Johnson; Mrs. A. C. Latham. Health: Frances Thornton, Chr. Betty Estes, Lucia Kilby, Russie Miller. Home and Family: Harriett Stokes, Chr., Betty Coates, Mary Miller Latham Payne, Sally Palmer. Education: H. B. Winfrey, Chr., Ma,ry Quaintance, Paul Nichols, "Shorty” Williams. Recreation: Frank L o u c h e s, Chr., Jack DeBergh, Catherine Riley, Mrs. Emmet Thompson. A fundamental question which has-been raised. What on earth can these committees do? Actually there is no limit. It is doubtful that any project ideas have crystalized. ,For sure they will need the help and thinking of many individuals and every organization in the county. oume ijutsiuuuies are as ioiiows: Agriculture: Naturally Rappahannock's largest industry on which most of us rely, one way or another, for our livelihood. Jn past years much progress has been made in marketing livestock and preventing and controlling livestock diseases. Both can be expanded upon and improved. Better land use, feeding and management of livestock and related enterprises such as: cultural methods, fertilization, tilth. Also production, handling and methods of feeding quality forages. Areas in tree fruit production handling and marketing plus related phases. Combination of enterprises. Business and Industry: Will operation of our Ski Slope result in a sharp increase in tourism? campers, gasoline, automotive repairs, the need of first aid. Our unemployed and under-employed. Once industrial development starts, others come. Progress means increased advantages. Any change, no matter how slight, brings problems. Frank Louches, whose educated guess is 500-1000 week end ski enthusiasts a week says around 30 per cent will want over night lodging in tourist courts, homes or bunk houses. Probably 3-4 more week ends of operation. Remember results of first impressions and the value of repeat customers. We are completely unorganized in being prepared for this though, already slight efforts have brought desirable results. Public Service and Utilities: Farms well electrified, no end of better economic uses which can be made of electricity. Water under pressure, more of it in our homes. Skiers want to eat. Telephone systems and service? Etc., Etc. Forestry and Conservation: Due to poor, or no management at all, farm income from forestry is next to nothing yet you pay taxes on the land. No doubt the Soil Conservation Service could give information on the npmber of cleared acres ^hich should be reforested simply because physical conditions make them unsuited for anything else. Markets and Public Relations: Our present roadside markets report must go considerable distances to get handicrafts. Is it possible to start a handicraft workshop where people can be trained? Much talent and artistic ability is Here. Possibly a band] craft market would do well withl our increasing tourist trade. J How does Rappahannock meel the public? What impressions do we make? A fanner’s public relations are poor no matter whether continued on page twelve GREATEST VALUES EVER OFFERED IN FRONT ROYAL See our Bargain Table— Chock Full of Many Items at Absolutely Give - Away Prices.

Kapp-ws Area Fruit School, February 28 at Washington Baptist Church will feature one of the best programs ever arranged. Soils, can determine whether you go in th? hole, break even or make some money. You don’t just up and move an orchard over nigjht but knowledge of your orchard soils can help you in deciding whether to replant, maintain or bulldoze the works. G. R. Epperson covers this topic leading off at 9:45 a.m. How you shape a tree during the first few years of its life will determine whether optimum yields can be had throughout its productive lifetime. Selecting brandies, priming, proping, tying down, there are different ways. Which suits you best? Fred Dreiling can help you decide in 20-30 minutes. Like all other businesses, there are always new methods, techniques, new items, etc., continuously cropping up in the fruit industry. Some good, some bad . . . which is which and which fits where? The panel scheduled for 10:45 a.m. and consisting of Williams, Rollins, Philips and Dreiling should be most interesting. They may have some locally grown specimens of new apple varieties. Fertilization must be varied. Can you make money on processing apples, etc.? And, oh but yes! Dr. Judkins, Hort. Dept, head is coming. Will talk at 11:40 am. on Times.” A keen mind here; always well up on things. Just last week an apple grower remarked in my presence: “I’ve been paying this apple tax for several years now and be d-if I ve seen any results yet; what’s done with the money anyway? “Well boys and girls, I don’t know just who but someone from the Apple Commission will be on hand to show and tell you what’s been done and whether or not they got results. This will comtNup after lunch at 1:30. Don’t miss it. At tow, Dr. Frank Horsfall, the human predator talks. He predates on nothing but orchard mice and will give you the know-how on “Recent Developments in Mouse Control.” At 2:30 tHe brass band will] strike up! Two loud and truetoned artists conducted by Jack Rollins. Drs. Grove and Hill will render the swan song on orchard insects and diseases. Any special notes you request will be struck with accuracy. At 3:15 Jack Rollins, Extension Horticulturist of Virginia Tech will wrap-up the program ’ with “Where Do We Go From Here?” Back to Blacksbudg no doubt, but then.! Will be seeing you. And oh?? Hear rumors by this time 1963 there might be a bigger and better place for such a function in Sperryville. Would be more convenient for our Madison neighbors too. How ’bout it Bob? • • * * Say bud, you’d better watch this b.c.i.a. bunch. What the heck is a Sonoray Demonstration anyway ? What tifse thunderation can any body from Branson Instruments tell us tried-n-true, hide-tanned cattlemen about bulls, or steers or either for that matter? Bet they don’t know one end of a critter from t’other but then we probably know less about this gadget called a Sonoray. , Comes MarCTi 8th, the BCIA is having a session up Culpeper way.

Business session starts at 2 :00. • * • • What about the bulls anyhow? Why not go a bit early . . or after the business session, and take a look? One bull from the Oaks, if you know where that place is, put on an even one hundred pounds in 28 days (Dec. 6th to Jan. 3rd). Check me bud, but my pencil figures that to be a 3.57 pound gain a day.

Virginia Receives Blood From Red Cross The State of Virginia received 34,620 milliliters of the blood frac" tion gamma globulin without charge from the American Red Cross in the last fiscal year, Dr. Mack I. Shanholtz, State Health Commissioner reported _ today. 17,200 milliliters were received by the State Department;; of Health and 17,420 milliliters went direct ^to doctors throughout the State. Gamma globulin is a plasma fraction that is able to modify or prevent measles. Although a com* mon disease, measles sometimes results in serious complications. Gamma globulin is also effective in preventing infectious hepatitis, a virus infection of the liver. People with a rare disease called agammaglobulinemia are highly subject toj infection. They are protected by frequent injections of the gamma globulin, which their bodies lack. In the last fiscal year, nearly 1, 148, 300 milliliters were produced for the Red Cross by commercial laboratories from the plasma, or liquid portion, of blood that had become outdated by not being requisitioned for direct transfusion within 21 days of its collection. Of this total 617,164 millilters were distributed to the health departments of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico to be administered without charge by public health agencies. Another 37,-810 milliliters were used by national Red Cross blood laboratories in research or sent to other laboratories for this purpose. Some of the remainder was sent direct from Red Cross Headquarters in Washington, D. C., to doctors on request for patients with continuing needs for gamma globulin because of blood deficiencies or used by those physicians for research. The rest was requisitioned by the 55 regional blood centers of the Red Cross to fill special requests within those regions. About 12 per cent of the 2,500,,000 pints of blood collected annually by the Red Cross is processed into fractions, of which gamma globulin is one. The other 88 per cent goes to over 4100 civil for or and Federal hospitals > fusion as whole blood :ed red cells. The Red Cross collects blood in 40 states, the District of Colum bia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. However, 10 other states also benefit from the Red Cross Blood Program through the distribuion of gamma globulin to their Health Departments. Iney are Alaska, Colorado, Delaware, Hawaii, Louisiana, Maine, New Mexico, Rhodfc Island, South Dakota, and Wyoming.

Heart Research Fund Established The American Heart Association announced today the establishment of the “Dwight D. 'Eisenhower Research Fund of the Heart Association.” In a comment on the establishment of the new fuud, General Eisenhower said: “I am anxious that the voluntary health agency active in the heart disease field should receive a maximum of support for carrying forward its efforts in seeking a solution to this great problem.” Dr. J. Scott Butterworth, President of the American Heart Association, said it is hoped that the creation of the fund named for the former President will stimulate additional and much needed gifts to the heart research. The Heart Association also supports programs of community service, professional and public education, with public contributions to the annual appeal conducted through February. General Eisenhower became Honorary Chairman of the American Heart Association’s Board of Directors a few months after leaving the White House. Long a supporter of the Heart Fund, he has on several occasions commended the work of the Association and urged Americans to join him in the crusade against heart and circulatory diseases.

Standards Set For Meat-Type Steers An association of cattle raisers, Performance Registry International, has set standards for meat-type steers which may serve as a measuring device for the industry, says Curtis Mast, beef cattle specialist at Virginia Polytechnic Institute. These cattlemen are interested in developing cattle that will appeal most to the housewife as she shops in her favorite grocery. To get this job done properly, there must be some way to measure the performance of the bulls which sire the steers. The way to do this is to measure how a* number of the sire’s offspring meet criteria set up for meat-type steers. PRI says the steer must produce 1.3 pounds of carcoss for each day of age. This means roughly that a steer needs to weigh 800 pounds when he is 12 months old. The carcass must have two square inches of loin eye per 100 pounds of weight. The base weight is 450 to 500 pounds and heavier carcasses are adjusted upwards. As carcasses get larger, says Mast, there is a tendency for the loin eye area per 100 pounds to diminish slightly. Standards are also set up for the amdunt of fat and marbling desired on top quality carcasses. In order to be a certified meat sire, a bull must sire a certain percentage of steers which will meet these qualifications, says the specialist. This number is yet to be approved by the directors of the 1 PRI, but such action is expected I/Ua&k&tqio* fettiUtdcy S-P-E-C-l-A-L-S at Lee Rosenberg Group of Boys’ Wash ’n‘Wear JACKETS $2.00 Group of Boys’ Shoes SHOES Values to $7.95—NOW $4.00 1 Lot Men’s SUITS y2 Price Group of Men’s SHOES $5.00 1 Lot of Men s SPORT COATS 1-2 Price Group of Wash DRESSES All Women’s WINTER COATS y2 Price Group of Men’s SHIRTS Girls' CAR COATS Group of Men’s Sweaters ■ $2.00 Group Boys & Men's Knit Shirts—$1.00 Group of Women’s FLATS Values to $6.95 $3.00 Now All Men’s JACKETS 1-3 Off l Group of Women’s Satin, Wool and Crepe DRESSES 1-2 Price LEE ROSENBERG CULPEPER, VIRGINIA soon. Says Mast, “We will hear more about certified meat bulls in the future and this is the procedure which will be followed by more and more cattlemen as time goes by. Standards are being set high enough that any time a bull qualifies as a certified meat-type sire, you can rest assured that he is a good one.” This work is in the embryo stage. It means that cattle producers must continuously reorient their business to satisfy the needs of a changing world.

Soon, his doctor told him, he would besick and tired. | So you can understand why ; Stanley was delighted when he | read an ad about a new 900-calorie ! formula diet A painless, permanent, perfectly safe way to lose weight. Many formerly fat people said they had lost more pounds on the new liquid food than ever before in their lives. Stanley decided this was for him. At first, he was very good. He ate nothing but the liquid. The first week he lost three pounds. The second week, he lost five. By the middle of the third week, he was feeling positively slender. He saw no reason why he shouldn’t eat a little solid food now and then. And that was the beginning of the end. Now Stanley’s back on his regular habits. Now he weighs more than ever before. But it may be just as well he’s off the liquid food. Because the! new reducing formulas may not be quite what they’re cracked up to be. The Council on Food and Nutrition of the American Medical Association feels that the labels on all these new products should warn people to be sure to drink a normal amount of water. The Council also says many people shouldn’t try any kind of reducing without a doctor's supervision. Especially people with heart trouble, kidney trouble, and diabetes. All dieting should be carried out under a physician’s guidance. And losing weight should be looked up-! on as a long-term process. The only satisfactory diet is the diet that results in weight that stays off. See your doctor for a diet tailor-made for you.

Main St. CuJpeper, Va. A Weighty Problem \ Some veterans and widows of' deceased veterans who have not| been eligible for Veterans Admin-] istration pensions because of not enough actual military duty may now qualify. A «ew law permits adding to the veteran’s active duty period the certified time to took to travel directly home after separation from service. All veterans discharged after December 31, 1956 have already been credited with travel time but most World War I and II dischargees became civilians when handed their separation papers. The pension claims of quite a few veterans and widows have been disallowed by the VA because of less than 90 days service. By adding the travel time as certified by the veterans’ branch of service some of these veterans will pick! up the extra day or so needed to qualify. Since the VA cannot identify the claims affected by the new law, any person who thunks he may now be eligible, including Spanish-American War veterans, should get in touch with my office or the VA. Edward M. Mathews, of the Front Royal Office of the Division of War Veterans’ Claims, is in Washington 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.

Bloodless Tax Bloodhounds Reprinted from Drovers Journal, December 9th. We’re hearing a lot lately about how the Internal Revenue Service is putting electronic sleuths in the form of computing devices on the trail of income tax digressors. So far not a great deal of information about the new gadget operation has been forthcoming, but there have been some ominous twists for the innocent taxpayer as well ^ for the would-be chiseler. + The idea brings to mind some questions, not the least* of which centers on the ultimate cost of these new-fangled scientifis bloodless bloodhounds. It is understood that even the most modest office models can’t be purchased for hay short of quite a few thousand tons of hay, anyway. And Uncle LiveIt-Up was never one to settle for the small model of anything. Nothing but the biggest and best and then,, if you don’t like it, sell it for a song or just discard and forget it. Then, will these uncanny devices track down enough previously escapee taxes to cover their cost? If they should, and more, will the taxpayer who has tried to be honest though harried live to see a modern miracle in the form of, reduced income taxes? Or will the budget boys, heartened by an intcreased tax rate, find new and “necessary” ways to spend it under more "emergency” programs? Would it also be the height of optimism to hope that the new electronic calculators will prove efficient and fast enough to dispense with a few thousand of the present manual sleuths, with* a resultant cut in thfe IRS payroll? Or will still more personnel be called into service to feed and interpret the findings of the new machines? Since it is claimed that the new device (or devices) will plug many a tax “leak” of the past, who will benefit from the increased gross income tax revenue—the bureaucrats, or downtrodden John Q. Public ? We make no claim to having the answers to these or probably scores of other questions which the use of mechanical brains has likely raised in the minds of our contemporaries. But what all of us would more likely welcome would be news of a gadget which would enable the little fellow, who pays the lion’s share of the.income tax, to file an honest return without the annual struggle with facts and figures that always leaves him just a pace or two away from the psychiatrist’s couch before the chore is done and his return is on its way to the tax collector.

Snow Avalanches Rank High Among Nature’s Destroyers Washington — The snow avalanche, a phenomenon that recently engulfed mine Peruvian villages, is one of nature’s most destructive forces. Snowslides approach the energy of tornadoes, earthquakes, and floods, the National Geographic Society says. They are not so widely feared, because most occur in remote mountain fastnesses where no one lives. But an avalanche that strikes a settled area is awesome. Millions of tons of wet snow roar down a mountainside, sweeping up earth, boulders, and trees, smashing houses like matchboxes, erasing railroads and highways, blocking rivers, crushing concrete-and-steel bridges. i Dry Snow Moves Fast Wet-snow avalanches are relatively slow, but dry snow may whistle down a steep slope at extraordinary speed. On March 6, 1898, an avalanche whirled down the Vorder-Glamisch in eastern Switzerland at an estimated 280 miles an hour. It swept across a valley floor nearly two miles wide and climbed up the opposite slope. Dry-snow avalanches drive a column of compressed air ahead of them and create a vacuum in their wake. The blast of air splinters trees considerable distances from the slide path. A few years ago, the air pressure accompanying an Austrian snowslide blew eight freight cars off their rails. The trailing vacuum often blows windows from near-by houses. When the Alpine village of Blons, Austria, was destroyed by an avalanche eight years ago, the suction actually pulled several people from their homes. An avalanche of very light snow insidiously lives up to its nickname, “white death.” The fine powder sifts into the nostrils and throat; it can fatally choke people a halfmile from the slide. The worst avalanche disaster ever recorded occurred on December 13, 1916, in World War I on the Austrian-Italian front. A series of slides killed 10,000 soldiers of both armies. Avalanches took at least 60,000 lives in the Alps during that war. It is nearly impossible to escape the path of a fast-moving slide,, but some persons have survived snow burial. In 1951, an avalanche in the Austrian Alps entombed a man for 10 days. He painfully scratched his way to the surface, then waited two days for rescue. Snow Loses Unp Avalanches are triggered by t changes in both the internal and external forces that hold a mass of snow together on a slope. The factors include overloading, temperature, shearing, and vibration. The weight of the snow itself may overcome its natural adhesion. A rise in temperature tends to weaken the bonds of a snow mass J a drop retards its settlement. A skier cutting across a slope or snow falling from a tree may shear off a huge slab of packed snow and send it rumbling down as mountain. Thunder, a pistol shot, even the crack of a whip can set up vibrations that will start an avalanche. Swiss legend has it that the dulcet tones of a cello once touched off a major slide, which may account for that instrument’s unpopularity in Switzerland. Our Governor’s Highway Safety Committee warns against driving when drowsy. Its always better to stop for a short nap than to enter into eternal sleep. It is seldom indeed that a driver who falls asleep walks away from the ' wreck he causes. Children’s Home Society Places 148 Babies The Children’s Home Society of Virginia placed 148 babies in adoptive homes last ydar, the largest number it has ever placed in a year, J. W. Stuart Gilchrist, general secretary, said in the society’s annual report just issued. A total of 434 babies were in the care of the society in 1961. Of these one was from Rapipahannock County and one other baby was in the adoptive home of Rappahannock County people. Contributions from the people of Rappahannock County in the campaign last year helped the society to assist these babies. Gilchrist pointed out that the society is now able to place most of its babies in home within six months after the adoptive parents have filed their application. In previous years it has usually taken longer. He reported also /"that the society is placing babies in adoptive homes at earlier ages—and this makes it possible to care for 'Sore babies. The large number of babies in need of homes results in the need for constinuing growth and expansion of the society to care for them, Gilchrist said, and the society also will need more adoptive families. He reported that the society received in to care 154 babies last year, as compared with 151 the previous year, and that it placed seven more in adoptive homes than in 1960. | “We deeply appreciate every contribution we have received,” Gilchrist said, “because it has helped us take care of more babies. We hope that gifts will be even more generous this year because the need will be greater.” — TRY A CLASSIFIED AD.
