Selective Service Qualification Tests To Be Given AnrO 17th Applications for the Selective Service College Qualification Test to be given on April 17 are now available to college students at the Selective Service local boards, jhe State Director of Selective Service for Virginia announced today. The test will be given at more than 500 colleges in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and the Canal Zone. Scores made on the test will provide local boards with evidence of aptitude for continued undergraduate and graduate study. The scores will not of themselves determine eligibility for deferment, but are considered with other information by the boards in determining whether to defer individual registrants for further study. Applications for the test mus be postmarked no later than midnight, Tuesday, March 27. Eligible students may also obtain information about the test from any local board. The test, used since 1951 to aid local boards in determining ques-, tions of student deferment, is administered by the Educational j Lenten Covered Dish Suppers Begin 15th The Lenten covered dish suppers at Trinity Episcopal Church, Washingon, Va., will begin March " l5fh at Discussions for 'meetings are based on “Fjefiv-'Love and Worthip.” JPast Lenten discussions have proved interesting, and with active participation from the group, these promise to be also. Hostess for the March 15th ■ is Mrs. George H. Davis, Jr., who suggests that you bring enough in your covered dish for 4 times the number of people who come with you. These meetings have been outstanding and are looked forward to by all age groups. T.sling device, Princeton, N. J. To be eiig’ble to take the test, live applic;:. t must be satisfactorily puisuing a full-time college course, undergraduate or graduate, leading * i a drgrcc. He ne-d not be a student of a 4-year college, but his entire course of study must be satisfactory for transfer of credits to - degree-granting institution. The applicant must be a Selectve Service registrant who intends to seek deferment as a student. He can take the test only once. Red Cross Fund Campaign Underway' March is the month for the mhual fund campaign for the American Red Cross. Letters ihave been or are being mailed to citizens of Rappahannock from Chapter headqurters in Warren ton. The Rappahannock Chapter is now affiliated with the Fauquier Chapter, with local area chairmen in each district. According to the campaign Chairman, Mr. Bowman, response has been better than last year, but there is still much to do before the goal is met.

He says the snow is of excellent quality for skiing and conditions are favorable. Hot coffee arfd sandwiches are available for the public. J Virginia Hinting Accidents Increase The tally or; Virginia h’.'ntipg accidents during the 1%1 162 season shows 42 mishaps including 9 fatalities, the highest •mmber in one year since record have been kept, according to Game Commission Safety Trainr g Officer J. N. Kerrick. The previous high mark was 32 accidents with 9 fatalities during 1953-54 season. “Since the only season remaining is the five-day turkey season in April, this should about wrap up our hunting tragedies for the year,” Kerrick said. Awkward gun handling was the primary cause of nine of the 12 most recent mishaps. Safeties that weren’t safe caused two of the selfinflicted injuries when the guns fired unexpectedly. Snagging the trigger of cocked weapons resulted in two fatalities, one self-inflicted and the other caused by a companion while handing the weapon to his friend. Stumbling and falling with a cocked weapon causedtwo fatalities and three injuries to careless hunters and their companions One of these dropped his weapon which discharged into his arm. In two cases, both non-fatal, small game hunters got into the tine of fire of their hunting companion. One of these involved a 10-year old boy who wandered *way from lirafwF^a rabbit hunt. ... The number of hunters mistaken for* game fell considerably, with only one recent incident recorded in this category. Hn this case, an 18year-old hunter fired on another hunter mistaken for a turkey, resulting in a shot wound in the shoulder and another in the back. Commandments of S h o o t i n g Safety; 1. Treat every gun with the respect due a loaded gun. 2. Watch that muzzle; carry vour gun safely; keep safety on until ready to shoot. Snow Storm Blankets Area Snarling Traffic, Power And Phones Fails I The worst storm of the winter I blew aross the eastern section of ' the country Monday and Tuesday ■ with snow ranging up to 40 inches. Oit'cal power failures paralyzed Rappahannock and surrounding areas and telephone service is nor yet completely restored. cmw here measured from 25 to .30 inches. Power and phones were out for as much as 12 hour stretches, with poles snapped off and wires falling. One lineman estimated it would take two weeks I to completely repair all damage ; to lines. Traffic was congested as autos, trucks, and tractor-trailers were stranded on hills. Virtually all business and travel was at a standstill. Though winds were high, temperatures were hardly below freezing. School was dismissed at noon Monday and remained closed for the week. People with oil heaters which did not require electricity, shared their homes with others and families cooked where friends had gas stoves. No matter how dire the circumstances, there is always humor to be found in thei situation. One family that had a very new modern house couldn’t open any tin cans of food because the only canopener was electric. A gentleman who hates overshoes was seen going up the street with a blue plastic laundry bag on one foot and a white one on the other. Washington VFD To Meet Monday The Washington Fire Company will have its monthly meeting on Monday, March 12 at 7 p.m. at the courthouse.

A. S. Hanjson, Jr. Governor Rappahannock 4*H Will Participate In Inter-State Exchange Program By Barbara L. Jones, Home Agent Four 4-H members in Rappahannock County will be packing their bags and heading for Hampshire County, Massachusetts in Tulv. These 44H’ers will be parti ! cipating in a *-n uiter-oiatc changc Program along with 31 other 4-H members from Culpeper, Fairfax, Madison, Prince William, Page, and Warren Counties. In addition to having a good time, these young people will be fulfilling the purposes of the InterState Exchange Program. These are to provide personal development, citizenship and leadership experiences for older 4-H youth, to provide an exchange of 4-H program ideas and experiences between club members, volunteer adult leaders and Extension agents of different states and regions, and to provide a challenge for senior 4-H Club members and recognition of outstanding work. 4-H’ers in Rappahannock, who entertained delegates from Massachusetts last summer, will have prfe-ity for the return trip. As delegates from Virginia, these young people will have two basic roles, to teach host families and those at home about themselves and others and to learn about themselves and others from these host families. There, the 4-H’ers will be learning self understanding along with an understanding of others from the emphasis put on the “Why” of human behavior instead of the simpler objective of seeing only the “What” and “How from others. Delegates will be selected by March 15th and will receive some training before departure on July 8th. After return to the county on July 21st, they will be reporting to the county and surrounding areos on their trip, their fun, as ■ well as their educational experiences. Better Crops, Larger Income With Improved Soil Better crops and larger income usually start with improved soil. Lime is one of the basic materials in a program of 9oil improvement. You cannot look, at your soil and tell if it’s deficient in lime but poor crops would indicate that the proper food supply was not available. Now is die tine of year to not only plan your crop rotation program but to take soil samples of your fields and determine what plant foods and materials are needed for the crops to be grown. Acid soil won’t give best crop results regardless of how much fertilizer is used. Plant nutrients become less available as acidity increases. Using too little lime where k is needed is one of our most common errors. If lime is to be used, it would give better results if it was applied 3 to 4 months prior to maturity of the crop. Because of this, early application would be desirable. Some fields and pastures are more accessible when frozen.

Have you ever checked to see if you might be eligible to receive social security benefits? Have you ever applied for social security benefits and been turned down because you had not worked long enough under social security ? If so, you may now be eligible for payments because of last year’s change in the law. Mr. Stanley B. Earl, Manager of the Alexandria District Office, urges you to contact your local social security office regarding recent changes in the Social Security Act. Men may now choose to have their benefits begin as soon as they reach 62. However, just as in the case of a woman worker, a man who decides to take nis benefits between the ages of 62 and 65 will get less per month than he would have received at tihe age of 65. This works out so that a man who takes his benefits as soon as he beoomes 62 will receive 80% of the monthly benefit he would have received had he waited until he was 65. In deciding wnetner ne wants to apply for benefits before he becomes 65, a man should weigh several factors; for example, his health, family situation, and probable earning power in the immediate future. As a result of another change in the law during 1961, less work is required to qualify for social security benefits. This means that those people who could not qualify before 1961, due to lack of sufficient work under social security, may now be eligible. A typical case was recently discovered by the Alexandria social security office. Mrs. Smith, as we shall call her, had been a widow since 1956. Her husband had never worked in employment covered by social security, so there wre no social security survivors benefits payable to her. Mrs. Smith worked in 1957 and 1958 as a domestic employee. When she reached 62 in 1959, sihe went to the social security district office to apply for old-age benefits on her own account. Whan the social security district office received a record of her earnings as a domestic employee, it was found that she had just 8 quarters of coverage(!for the years 1957 and 1958, the only years she worked under social se % 1 TROUBLES...? !

Phone VA 6-9000 curity. According to the law in effect at that time, she needed 16 quarters to get benefits. In August 1961, however, the social security work requirements were changed by amendments to the Social Security Act. As a result of the change, Mrs. Smith’ now rteeded only 8 quarters to be insured. She read about the change in the law and got in touch with Iher social security office again. She was awarded benefits beginning [August 1961, the first month for which the change was effective. If you believe that any of these changes in the law may apply to you, contact the social security district office located at 825 South Washington Street, Alexandria.

FRONT ROYAL, VIRGINIA Civil Defense There is ? bill before Congress, with very rood prospect of its passing, an incentive payment program, whiah will allow payment of $25 for each approved space, in a public or private non-profit institution engaged in health, educational or welfare activities. Certain minimum standards for public shelter space must be met in construction or alterations which were started after 1st of January 1962. Interested institutions are encouraged to notify OCDjDOD, Washington 25, D C., of preliminary plans, including type of shelter space, intended alternative uses, estimated cost and other general infrmation. When the legislation is passed, the local CD offices will be issued copies thereof and application forms will be furnisihied. Inquiries adressed to this office will be forwarded to the State Office. It is the duty and desire of this office to cooperate in the public shelter program, but it also wishes to encourage the construction of family fall out shelters. The cost of pick and shovel and a few hand tools and the will to use them, could greatly reduce the over-all costs, plus a rewarding satisfaction of accomplishment and a knowledge of having a share in safeguarding America for their own survival and the nation's future.

Freddie Jackson attended cburch at Washington, Va. Sunday. Weekly Farm Price Outlook EGGS The seasonal spring price slide in egg prices has started and is expected to continue until early May. However, this year’s price decline is not expected to be as great as past years. This is due to the trend of continued flock replacement every month of the eyar. The normal egg production peak is reached during March, April and May. This is true again this year. However, the changing production cycle in the industry has leveled peaks and valleys during the past 10 years. Many egg dealers are still buying to cover only immediate needs. There has been only minor action in breaker buying. Flock replacement should b e fairly heavy this month as a result of a higher hatch of egg type chicks last fall. Egg production in February was up two per cent last month and should continue to advance seasonally during the next three months. Last! week in Virginia, grade A larges were 32 to 34 cents, down two to three cents from the previous week. Grade A mediums were 29 to 32 cents. In New York grade A large eggs were 34 to 38 cents and grade A mediums were 32 to 34‘cents. CATTLE Slaughter cattle moved to market within the next two or three weeks should have the advantage of the current seasonal high in prices. A moderate seasonal decline is expected to appear near the end of March or the first of April. The demand for spring calves is expected to be good and the market is promising for Stocker cattle to feed on grass. We Can Supply All Your CULPEPER BUILDING & SUPPLY CORP. Phan* VA 5-8383 Culp*per.
