I Winter Wonderland In I Democratic Primary Set For July 10th The Seventh District Democratic Committee has called a primary election to determine the Democratic nominee, for the United States House of Representatives, says James W.

NOTICF Sperryville Volunteer Fire Department will have a special meetng at the VFW building on Monday, March 19 at 7:30 p.m. All members are urged to attend. Continued Effort Made For Dumps Continued effort is being made for securing sanitary land fills, or in plain language public dumps, in various sections of Rappahan. nock County', so we might have a more beautiful and cleaner county. Trash and tin cans are something that every family uses and has to make disposal of. It seem very strange to live in the middle of wide open country and have to send your trash to the nearby city for disposal. I know of a family who does just this, and as inconvenient as it it, that’s better than throwing it on the roadside or in a stream. The Board of Supervisors has been approached on the matter and are in full agreement that public dumping places are urgently needed. The Garden Club and Sperryville PTA both have petitioned thle Supervisors and offered their assistance in helping to acquire and care for these land fills. We believe the Board will establish public dumping grounds, provided suitable places can be lo. cared. Your support is needed in this matter and you are requested to submit any ideas which you may have or any information which you can obtain to Mrs. Lucia Kdby. Secretary of the Sperrvville School PTA, Spei ryville, Va. „_ads Of Garment Industry And Ail interested County Citizens Will Meet Monday To Discuss Plant Here The possibility of the construct-! ion of a large industrial plant in this area was announced this week by H. S. Barksdale of the Rappahannock Lndustrial Development Association. According to Mr. Barksdale, the plant, when erected here, will eventually employ over 250 persons and would “bring an opportunity for better economic security and business improvement for the entire area.” In making the announcement, Mr. Barksdale said this company now operates five plants in Virginia and is a nationally recognized garment manufacturer. The decision to open the new plant here, he stated, will depend in part on Whether local residents will be willing to invest an amount which will cover a portion of the total plant construction cost. “If community participation can be assured,” according to a company representative, “this nationally known firm will start construction in the near future.” “Most businesses considering opening new plants,” according to a spokesman of he Northern. Virginia Power Company, “require community financing for at least 50% of the cost of the plant, but the amount that would be required of Rappahannock County is substantially less.” ' The entire project is to be discussed at an open meeting to be held Monday evening, March 19, at 7:30 pun. in Rappahannock County High School, Barksdale said. At this open-to-the-public meeting, officials of the Company will be on hand to answer all questions as will members of the In Rescue Squad Dance Features Twist Band The Washington Rescue Squad is continuing to hold dances each Saturday night at Payne’s Dance Hall on Route 211 near Washington, Va.

Skiiers await turn on tow to the interne diate slope Saturday at Skyline Ski Area dustrial Development Association and leading businessmen from this area. In discussing the proposal made by the Company to local leaders,, an Association spokesman said that, in general, the facts are these: The manufacturer proposes toput up some $70,000 for the project, not including the amount he will spend for the manufacturing equipment. Arrangements are being made with a leading financial institution of the state to put up additiohal funds which will be secured by a first deed of trust. In turn, local persons, groups or organizations will be given an opportunity to provide not less than $40,000, to be secured by a second deed of trust on the real estate. On this amount, the manufacturer will pay interest of five per cent and will repay the investors’ notes on or before ten years. According to a member of the Area Development Department of the Northern Virginia Power Company, “this type of financial Continued on page seven Flint Hill Auxiliary Hostess At Banquet Over eighty firemen and guests were honored at the annual fire* mens banquet held Tuesday night at the Flint Hill fire hall.

RAPP CHATS By W. H. LYNE, •County Agent Copper Fertilization on Grains •and Soybeans . . . Bill Lewis, Extension Agronomist, reports many • questions being received in connection with fertilization of Small grain, orn and soybeans with copper sufate. Publicity has been on •work done in North Carolina on soils 15% or higher in organic matter; In this area especially, we do not have agricultural soils this high in organic matter which are low in copper, therefore Bill states: “we do not think that copper deficiency is a problem in Virginia." • • * According to a letter from officers of the Virginia Farm Bureau Federation they “have been working with representatives of growers of processing apples in forming the Processing Apple DiviMarketing Association.” The primary purpose of the Association is to provide the machinery by which processing apple growers, through organization, will have a voice in the marketing of their crops, and in turn accept some of the responsibility in solving industry wide problems of the fruit industry.” Your County Agent attended a meeting on this yesterday at Front sion of the Virginia Agricultural Royal to |fcarn more about how a Marketing Association functions. Will let you know what we garner in next week’s News. For sure, Marketing is a process all farmers must consider, study, and plan more thoroughly and efficiently. Each of you endeavor to produce a quality product efficiently. Many are successful! Does your business operation end at harvest time? It ppears the possibilities of an Apple Marketing Association could be a function of the Agricultural sub-committee of the Rappahannock Development Committee and the Rappahannock Horticulture Committee. am DEFENSE For several weeks the local office of civil defense (CD) has attempted to bring to the attention of the people of Rappahannock the need for individual or family fallout shelters for protection from radio-active fallout. Our mg of <4next concern is the st< shelters with two weeks ■ supply of food and water, cooking and eating utensils aad-^quipment, fuel, clothing, bedding, first aid supplies, sanitation supplies and equipment, and a battery-powered or transistor radio. Although .you do not yet have a shelter constructed, personal stocks oif survival items in homes could mean the difference of life or death.

William Wiener Veterans Pensions Suspended From Failure To Return Questionnaires About 750 Virginia veterans and widows of veterans have had their pensions suspended because they failed to return their annual income questionnaires. The checks of more than 1000 other veterans and widows have also been stopped because of the income cards they sent in were incomplete or incorrect. The 750 persons of the first group face not only the loss of their monthly pensions but, for manv of them, the repayment of all pension money received during 1961. A new regulation this year provides that when a questionnaire is not returned the VA will declare an overpayment for the preceding year and will institute action to recover that entire year’s pension. Prompt action by those who have not returned tihieir questionnaire cards is very important if the pensioner expects to avoid paying back all of last year’s pension, and get back on the VA pension list if still eligible. Although the deadline was January 31, 1962, the VA will still accept late questionnaires and either release the pensions or take such other action as is necessary. a few, could be assembled a few each time you go shopping. When requirements are met, put them in a dry and protected place ready for use in any emergency. Don t wait until it is too late. il Dick C.

Local Bull Tops All Angus On Record Of Performance Feed Test The final tabulation of bulls on record of performance 140 day feed test' at Culpeper has been re. ceived. Of the 58 Angus bulls included, I’d say that one of Ned Johnson’s leads the lot! For example his lifetime index pf 147 is the highest of them all and four points above his nearest competitor. His type score is equaled by five bulls, exceeded by none. He ranks fourth in lifetime growth rate (there was but 0.07 lbs. per day difference in his trecord and that of the leading gainer). This again proves they can look good and do well. Furthermore this bull just “ain’t to be sneezed at”—you d have to go a long way to find a better one. Called Ned when I saw the tabulation and asked about the bull s background; dams performance, sires performance, etc. His maw is a home-raised pro. duct 9 years old. This boy is her sixth offspring. Their average adjusted daily gain on dam was 2.07 lbs.; average type score 12.7 (middle choice BCIA grade, top choice to low fancy feeder calf grade), and an average index of 128. His paw is the Remount bull frequently written about. This old boy (1955 model) continues doing a good job. He has sired five calf crops resulting in 117 weaned | calves. Now think about this, that j is if you comprehend the meaning j of BGLA figures. The average of all 117 of his; get over the years is 2.14 lbs. daily , gain, type 118, index 1271 Thus the record of .Angus bull No. 1 at Culpeper Enterprises this winter couldn’t be classed as a| fluke. We’s got it bred in him. _' Hope Ned gets the worth of this; bull. He’ll sell March 22nd. Sale I starts at 1:00 p.m. at Culpeper 'Enterprises.

Much of this music and lyrics had been handed down through generations and has never been put in print. Mr. Nassbcrg was eager to record some of this music for the University folk collection.

Health Career Opportunities For Young People To Be Discussed In Schools Wealth career opportunities for young people will be the subject of assembly programs in seven schools in Rappahannock, Clarke, and Warren Counties on March 20 through 22. This Health Careers Program is presented by Mrs. Cynthia N. Warren, Assistant Director of the Virginia Council on Health and Medical Care, and consists of slides and commentary on eigjhteen major careers in die field of health. The careers covered in the program are: audiology and speech correction, dentistry, health education, dietetics, hospital administration, medical record library science, medical technology, medicine, occupational therapy, professional and practical nursing, pharmacy, physical therapy, podiatry, psychology, public health sanitation, social work, veterinary medicine, and x-ray technology. The program is scheduled as follows: Tuesday, March 20 at Clarke County and Johnson-Williams high schools, Berryville; on Wednesday, March 21 at Randolph. Macon and John S. Mosby Academies, and Rappahannock County High School; Thursday, March 22 at Warren County and Criser high Schools, Front Royal. The arrangements were made by .Mrs. Gladys H. Lewis, Executive Director of the Warren-Rappahannock-Clarke Tuberculosis Association. The main purpose of the program is to assist students in selecting a career emphasizing opportunities available in the field of health. A side-line, long-range benefit of the program lies in its tendancy to relieve the unemployment problem faced by the state and the nation. The career program as presented by Mrs. Warren is endorsed by the State Department of Education’s Guidance and Testing section and is conducted with the cooperation of professional health organizations and state groups havirig a major interest in health. The organizations, together with many other state and national groups, have expressed their enthusiasm for the contributions of the program as have high school counselors, recognizing its value for downto.earth assistance to young people. Discussion 0( Industry Continued from page one arrangement has proven to be ef-i fective and efficient in hundreds of j communities throughout the nation. This area is,” he said, “most' fortunate to be considered by this Company and to have the opportu-, nity to participate in its program1 of growth and expansion.” I Actually, the project is “fairly i well along;” according to Barks-< dale, as the Company has already secured an option on a 43 acre tract of land near Flint Hill. Here, when the project is finalized, will, - be constructed a building of some' 20,00 square feet where, eventually, more than 250 local area persons will be employed. Managerial personnel only, it is understood, will be brought in to man the new plant. “Months and months of work have gone into this project so far,” 3 Barksdale said. “I would like to thank all of those who have de voted so much time and talent to the program, special thanks go to other members of the Association: Mrs. Virginia Miller, C. B. Johnson, Capt. L.jB. Stuart, Mrs. Perle Coffey, Carson Johnson, Ray Cannon, Merritt Greeley, and Herbert Foster and the Flint Hill Fire Company who first promoted the idea of an industry. The assistance of the Area Development Department and other officials, of the Northern Virginia Power Company is appreciated. All others throughout the county who have contributed so much to this program,” he said, “have shown a wonderful civic spirit.” He concluded by inviting to the March meeting all those who wish to receive further details and those who may wish to invest in this inr dustrial growth opportunity, “on which will rest much of the economic development future of our community, county, and state.” Amtam ■in to tab adraatapa af papalar faaey, •» Mnpalaw upaiaiitai kaadad ky hifk-praaaura pra» Mia aaaw iatandaad to flift pahlia kaaltk to tka ImI Afia Tkay an partloalariy aotiva k tka vitaaia Adi.

LEWIS^HARMACY DIAL VA 5-8322 CULPEPER, VA. “Be Wearing Of The Green” If you have Irish blood you will almost certainly be proud of it— quite properly . . . This week of course the Clans gather from near ,and far in this country as well as in the homeland in honor of their patron Saint Patrick. 1962 will mark the 557th anniversary of his birth in a little town in Roman Britian. Christianity had been savagely persecuted by the Romans and there were many martyrs in the land. Patrick, or Patridus, the “noble one” spent the early years of his life with his family and led a normal existence of a boy his age. When he was about sixteen, he was kidnapped by slave raiders and was brought to the territory now known as County Antrim in Ireland, where for several years he tended sheep and pigs on Slemish. During these years a great change came over Patrick. He began to concentrate on spiritual matters and early In the year 407 he escaped and boarded a ship bound for Gaul or what is now France. He settled down in a town called Auxerre, a famous centre of learning. H was consecrated by the Pope and went back to Ireland in the year 432, determined to bring the Gospel to the centre of autho. rity in Ireland - Tara. There was a law at that time that at Easter no fire, could be lighted until the fire on the Hill of Tara had been kindled by the druids. Patrick lighted the Paschal Fire before tha tof Tara and appeared before King Laoghaire. “Soverign Lord, except that fire which you see on yonder hill be extinguished this very night it will never be extinguishd in Ireland,” said the druids. Patrick, however, won the great argument with the druids before the King. In the years following, he travelled all over Ireland establishing the church with the principal church at Armagh. St. St. Patrick died on March 17th at Saul in Ulster in the year .461, and this day has been set aside each year in honor of his great devo. tion to his church and to the Irish people. So if there is a trace of Irish blood in your veins, you can “be wearing of the green” on Saturday. GREETING CARDS GIBSON-BA1UUM CULPEPER BOOK STORE OLD BOWLING ALLEY BUILDING 210 N. MAIN ST. CULPEPER, VA. THANKS FOR YOUR PATIENCE The severe storm that struck this area on Monday, March 5th played havoc with our power lines and disrupted service in most of the areas served by this Cooperative. Many of our lines are off the highway and through wooded areas, making it difficult to patrol with the great amount of snow on the ground. We were fortunate in that very few poles were broken, and in no case did we have a broken pofle on the lines that were rebuilt last summer and fall. A large amount of wire was down, caused by trees falling across the line; also wire was bdoken by heavy ice accumulation. This heavy icing, along with heavy gusts of wind Tuesday night, caused much wide-spread damage. Our thanks go out to Irby Construction Company; Randolph Electric Membership Cooperation ,Ashboro,North Carolina; Line Construction Company of Sanford, North Caroflina; and Shenandoah Electric Cooperative from Dayton, Virginia, for providing extra crews to clear this emergency. The men stayed on the job for long hours helping restore service. Our own dedicated people did yeoman work, working sixteen to twenty hours. Two crews worked throughout one night and into the next afternoon, often not taking time to eat Our sincere thanks also to the girls in the office who did a wonderful job answering the telephones. Special thanks go out to those members who helped patrol lines, clear right-of-ways, and in so many instances furnished refreshments to the service crews on the job. Also, sincere thanks for the patience and understanding of the members during the period the service was out. It is fortunate that such destructive storms seldom strike. Even though our lines are constructed to withstand normal snow storms and wind, we must remember that there is One greater than man that can destroy overnight what man has spent days, yes, years to build, God, our Creator and Ruler of the universe. We have so much to be thankful for . . no loss of life and no injuries to those who worked long hours and with such dedication. Northern Piedmont Isie^tric Cooperative P. O.

O 347,000 owners prove... It's value that puts Valiant on the best-seller list! Make book on it What follows is fact-not fiction-and no names have been changed to protect anybody. Chapter I starts with style. It asks who is the only compact ever to receive the Society of Illustrators' award for design excellence. Answer: The Valiant Signet 200-America's lowest-priced hardtop with bucket seats-that’s who! Read on... Chapter II talks about performance. The Valiant can, and has, run circles around every competitively priced compact, including the Falcon, Corvaiir and Lark. All of which leads many to suspect they know the plot-Valiant is priced with the so-called "super-compacts.” Not so, reveals the surprise ending in Chapter III. Valiant is priced competitively, model for model, with Falcon, Corvair, Rambler and Lark. Why not drive one this week? Could be you’ll want to join those 347,000 folks for whom Valiant’s a kind of love story that is continued every month. The title of our story: NOBODY BEATS VALIANT FOR VALUE! RUSSELL BROTHERS, Inc.

Among the many people enjoying skiing at Skyline Ski Area Sat rday were these two youngs.e s. Play And Talent Featured In 4-H Virginia 4-H members are hardworking youngsters interested in a variety of projects from poultry to plowing. And they like to play as hard as they work says Miss Shirlet' Patton, assistant club agent at Virginia Polytechnic Institute. So, to give those with talent a chance to show what they can do, and to develop an appreciation of talent, clubs take part in the “share-the-fun” program. Miss Patton says that in addition to developing talent, this program also develops leadership, conf’dence, and provides an opportunity for wholesome recreation A number of clubs are holding club “share-the-fun” programs at meetings this month. The winner in the club contest will compete in a county contest. Winners it: the senior division have an opportunity to take part in district contests, and in turn in the state contest. Four-H’ers have a choice of areas in which they can compete. Included are instrument.;!, vocal, dancing, and general talent demonstrations. The general area includes acts with unusual and interesting quality such as novelty acts and dramatic acts. Winners are selected by the use of a score card grading talent, showmanship, audience reception, and costume. Fifty percent of the score is based on talent, 20 percent on showmanship, 20 percent audience reception, and 10 percent costume. Each county determines their own eligibility rules and decides the contest divisions. Many counties set up both junior and senior contest divisions*. In district and state contests club members must have passed their 14th birthday as of January 1 of the current year, and completed three years of 4-H club work, including the current year. Many members who take part in the 1962 state 4-H “share-the-fun” contest will have the opportunity to appear on programs for state and national events throughout the year, says Miss Patton.

Camp, Jr., of Franklin, President of the Association. "Through memorial gifts to the Heart Fund, many people are establishing a living memorial to friends and loved ones,” Mr. Camp said. “Memorial gifts sent to Mrs. Miller will be greatly appreciated and promptly acknowledged.” When memorial gifts are made to the Heart Fund, the donor is helping to open new doors to better ways of coping with diseases of the heart and circulatory system. In outlining how memorial gifts are acknowledged, Mrs. Miller explained that when she receives a memorial gift, two dignified cards are sent out, one to the donor and one to the family of the deceased, name of the person memoralized, i vpresses inpreriat'on ter the gift, and state.-, the : mount of the contribution. Tile card to the next of k:n iifcludes the name or the donor and the name of the p-rson memorialized; it does not mention the amount of the donation. The Heart bund already has l^en responsible for a large measure of the impressive and encouraging progress that has been made against the heart diseases. It has made possible a life-saving program of research. Much of this research has been done at the Medical College of Virginia, the University of Virginia School of Medicine and elsewhere in the United States.

Phone: VA 5-9320 Weekly Farm Price Outlook (This is the way prospects forj Virginia farm prices looked to the Virginia Department of Agriculture on Friday. The Department offers it to farmers with the warn-. ing that no one can predict prices] and be right all the time.) iHOGS Several factors — Lent, more hogs coming to market, and the weather—add up to some spots of additional weakness in hog prices in the next few weeks. We are in the peak of marketings from last fall’s pig crop right now. This, plus the weather, may bring week-to-week price fluctuations. ' Even so, with a penalty of $1 j per hundredweight for hogs under 180 pounds, there is no reason to sell light unless you have a feed problem. i In the long run, 1962 looks like a pretty good year for hog producers. The economy is in better shape than in 1961, the hog supply will increase about in line with population, and the corn-hog ratio continues favorable. Hog producers’ intentions to farrow this spring are up three per cent over last year with almost all the increase in the Corn Belt States. Experts predict a spring pig crop increase of only two per cent, however. This is because we aren’t likely to repeat the high 1961 ratio of pigs saved. Hog prices ranged from $17 to $18 in Virginia auctions last week. Richmond was $17 to $17.50. Southeastern Virginia markets were $16.75 to $17.25; Western markets, $16.50 to $17.25; and Baltimore $17.75. These prices were $1 to $1.50 below the January level. BROILERS The weather has clouded the crystal ball where broiler prices are concerned. High tides at Chincoteague and Delmarva plus power failures and heavy snow 'in the Shenandoah Valley undoubtedly killed a lot of birds. This same weather caused cuts in consumer buying which may or may not be made up when the weather clears. ! Until more details are known, it’s hard to sum up what the affect on prices will be.

Ordinarily this would mean that prices would probably fall off a little from w£ere they are now. Supplies will be five per cent under a year ago in April and one per cent less in May. That should forestall the kind of disastrous price slump we had in those moaths last year. Virginia broiler prices were 17 to 18 cents last week. Delmaq/a was at 18% to 19 cents. GeorgiaCarolina prices were mostly 15% to 16 cents with premiums of % to % of a cent for broilers on contract or agreement. % -- REMEMBER BLOODMOBILE NEWS AMONG OUR % COLORED READERS There will be a social at Pine Khot Inn Friday, March 16 beginning at 8 o’clock.
