The Lion’s Den The Rappahannock Lions Club held its regular supper meeting (and incidentally, it was a delicious meal, with seconds on pie) Wednesday night, January 9 at Hampton Inn, The program , under the chaTge of Lion Harry Lee Smith was a most interesting and highly informative talk by Mr. C. R. Parrish of Front Royal. Mr, Parrish is Director of Warren Memorial Hospital. His talk was supplemented by a series of very interesting slides and an informal question and answer period afterward. The Club thanks Lion Smith for providing such an enjoyable program. We were quite shocked, however, to learn that Mr, Parrish had not heard of the local fruit cake drive. Lion Smith, indeed, is slipping. There are still a few of these delicious cakes left and to get yours please call any Lion. Remember, ’tis a long time before next fall so don't deprive yourself of these treats. "Proof that man descended from some type of animal lies in the fact that half the world goose-steps while the other half pussyfoots." Durant’s Phantasmagoric Hunt By Mary Jamison On that densely foggy Saturday, January 12, “The Hill,* the farm of Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Durant II, was the scene of one of the eeriest foxhunts Culpeper county has experienced in ages. Out of the boiling mists of that Limbo-like day Foxhunters and Foxhunt breakfasters materialized from very far and very wide. They came by van, by truck, by car and by horse; they came by hard road, gravel road, backways and byways. From the North appeared Mr. and Mrs. Frazer Brooks of Wayne, Pa.; Mr. Stuart Wells of Long Lake, Minn.; John Rinka with Alex Stull, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Burrell and Mr. Joseph Fitzpatrick, all from the Capitol; from White Post came Mr. and Mrs. Milton Ritzenberg; from Upperville, Mrs. A. C. Randolph, MFH, and Mr. and Mrs. Austin Kaye. From the South, Charlottes* ville, arrived Mrs. Ralph Minnick, Mrs. Evelyn Galbln Mrs. Kauffman and Mr. Van der Cliff. From the East, Fredricksburg, came a bevy of pretty, young Mary Washington College Hoof Printers with Mr. Kirschner in charge; also Mr. and Mrs. William Dameron and Cheryl Ward. Mrs. Knight Tholman appeared out of Orange. Added to these enthusiasts, the regular Rappahannock Hunt members and hunt followers of our two counties of Rappahannock and Culpeper totalled 37 mounted hunters and a full 200 strong breakfasters. Weird, indeed, were the h 2 1/2 hours of foxhunting that ensued. Hounds were cast into a sea of fog that enveloped the bottom lands along Devils Run. The sterns of the streaming hounds disappeared into Limbo. Horses too long idle because of the excessively White Christmas, danced, galloped, and plunged after them. We entered a phantasmagoric world of foxhunting. As if by magic the unseen hounds immediately started an unseen fox, and set the fog shivering with a brilliant Baskerville chorus. After a ringing, romping two-minute period, during which horses and riders rose up and then evaporated momentarily like equestrian statues kneedeep in a London mist, all went silent. The mysterious fox faded out of scenting; hounds drifted along the steaming branch bank, dim grey silhouettes of hunters stood as if transfixed at different levels in the milky white mist. Gradually the figures began to move aimlessly over the scene, like so many Don Quixotes in Hell, the fox was gone, the hounds were gone, even the terrain seemed annihilated. To break the spell, Ollie Dodson'8 huntsman's horn gathered the hounds for a cast in the world of the Jane Brown Woods. Here we spent an uneventful buy enjoyable two hours of listening and hoping, whooping and chatting. Our host, Oliver, on his, fine big grey David, , then shepherded the mud- I bespattered field completely Madison Boys Confess To Local Robberies i Walnut Lodge nearSperryyille operated by Mrs. John Wayland was burglarized the night of January 9.

Mast, Extension Animal Husbandman, VPI to see if late research had uncovered any changes in factual results. Below is Mr. Mast’s reply: “Regarding the use of eni zymes in cattle feed, there has really been no change. Much of the research work has been inconsistent. Sometimes it has looked good and sometimes there have been no resluts whatsoever. There have been various products put on the market, but I don’t think any of them have lasted. I have just checked with Joe Fontenot and he says to his knowledge it is not something that can be recommended at this time.” * * # Arthur Hall, Veterinary student in Georgia, called Jas F. Massie, Chairman Agricultural Committee of Rappahannock Development Committee, last fall, relative to establishing a practice in this county upon completion of his (Hall’s) studies. Mr. Massie put Mr. Hall in touch with your county agent. Mr. Hall is reported to be a top notch man. He is married and the father of two children. In Mr. Hall’s last letter he writes: “Your letter has encouraged' | us; however, the transition from Vet student to a practicing veterinarian is difficult. We hope to settle in a rural community; therefore Rappahannock sounds ideal” . . . "Thanks again for the information. I may be calling on you in the future.” Jim, it appears your letter written last fall I may do some good. Congratula! tions on being an active RAD Committeeman, especially pertaining to matters of concern to our farmers. Mr. Rappahannock Farmer, should Mr. Hall or Dr. Hall, come to the county to live, remember, you must give him your veterinary business. This could be the chance you have been looking for. There is no way to determine financial loss to the county’s livestock industry because of the lack of, or difficulty in getting, competent veterinary service. Goodness knows a good veterinarian is as important to our livestock industry as is a M. D. to our people. Jim and I may be successful in getting a Vet here, but it will take you and you. and you to keep him. He can’t survive anywhere without the support of livestock owners and owners of pets. That’s for sure. * * * BCIA Farmer reports received last : fall on bulls in Culpeper Feed Test were contradictory.

Condition at beginning of feed test has a lot to do with growth rate so . . . in the end one must rely on life time growth rate. Some cattlemen may let a calf get thin in between his on-dam record and on-feed performance so he’ll look good on the final test. Take a close look at all three. First if his on-dam record is desirable you’ll know his dam was a good milker. If his onfeed record is good then he has the ability to keep making rapid gains. H i s lifetime growth rate will show you if his owner attempted to “doctor” the results. Finally still, demand “choice” type or higher .. . you can get both so don’t go overboard for either ; type or growth rate.

COLEMAN i ' ■ I ANDREWS Each time congress opens its doors for wither go at restricting theHUberties of the people, a question arises: How far will they go this time? Farther than last time? Or not so far? Put another way, today, people are wondering $ the 88th Congress will enact more or less left-wing legislation that did its predecessor. The short answer: Probably less. Why this is so takes a bit more telling. As may be recalled, Republican Eisenhower went through his second term faced by a Democratic Congress. As federal judgeships fell vacant, through death or resignation, Eisenhower, as was his duty, nominated successors. Before his term expired there were about 80 such nominations before the Senate Judiciary Committee but it took no action. It never did, not so long as Eisenhower was in office. The Democrats who contiolled the committee, you see, played against the possibility the Republican, Eisenhower, would be succeeded by a Democrat. If so, and if the Democrats had failed to confirm Eisenhower’s nominations, they would have all those goodies for themselves. And that is precisely what happened. Consequently, following Kennedy’s election, whenever a Democratic Congressman choked on trying to swallow the program of the New Frontier, whenever a critical vote was needed, the Administration had a ready answer: A federal judgeship for his vote. Why not? Either a judgeship or some other thing of tangible, political value. For instance, one Southern Senator, his7 torically opposed to Foreign Aid, supported the Aid program last year on the promise an army camp in his state would be reopened. It was. Such patronage is gone, new, or the most of it; the judges are judging and the camps are operating. Which is the principal rea-, son the going will be tougher for Kennedy; what legislation the Administration got through the 87th Congress, in the main, did not succeed on merit. Horse trading did it, pure and simple. Another reason the going will be tougher has to do with the rise in conservative sentiment throughout the South. For decades, some Southern Congressmen — as fine a set of demagogues as ever came down the pike — have been talking one set of principles for home consumption while voting another. Last November, as the conservative vote mounted, these Claghorns got the scare of their lives. This year, it is reasonable to assume, they will not be so ' prone to sell out their coni stituents as they have been ! in the past. Not with Little [ Brother — the Republican ! party — watching. Finally, across the country the changes in Congressional representation — in ; all, more than 60 — reflect a ponderous, though hardly perceptible, move to the right. Such are some of the reasons why the Administration may hesitate to inaugurate fewer moves at socializing the country, this year, than it did during the years of the 87th Congress, it also explains why the President, as the 88th Congress convenes, is in such a mollifying mood. His bills will be entered but they won’t be fought for, not overly strong. Kennedy cannot afford any more donnybrooks and he knows it. He lost too much of his scalp last year. Conservatism is moving up. “Send More Money” An ancient joke tells of the amateur poker player who fell in witn a group ot professionals, lost his shirt, and wired home: "It's a great game. Send more money." The American taxpayer is now in the shoes of that hapless victim. At the federal level, we hear much talk of income tax reduction—though how this can be accomplished, in the light of eight or ten billion dollar annual deficits without shrinking the dollar’s buying power farther, is a question that would stump Socrates. That aside, other federal plans, now in the press-on-regardless stage, call for a myriad of changes in tax policy that would subject individual and corporate taxpayers alike to an almost endless series of expensive irritations, and bury us under a flood of tax forms. At the state level, there is, for the most part, a mad search for more tax-revenues for welfare services for schools, for highways, for urban renewal (the current polite term for slum clearance), and for just about anything else anyone can dream up. Most barbarous of all is the scheme-now in effect in some states and planned by others-whereby federal income taxes are not allowed as a credit against state income taxes. Thus, the taxpayer pays^a tax upon a tax, or money which he never really had at all. No man can foresee the end. But the way we’re going that "Send more money" wire will have to go unanswered. The well runs dry. | Manpower Training and Development Registration of unemployed and some under-employed, area residents as prospective trainees under the federal Manpower Development and Training program recently has gained considerable momentum after a slow start late last year. The pick up in registrations is reported by the Vir ginia Employment Commission, responsible in this State, and locally, for initiating MDTA training courses. To date, however, no tabulation has been made as to the number applying in this area for training. The Virginia Employment Commission office at Charlottesville is accepting inquiries and applications from »any jobless area resident who desires consideration for training courses which may be established here and elsewhere in the State. Under MDTA, passed by the Congress last year, VEC and its local employment service offices are responsible for (1) determining occupations in which a demand for trained workers exist; (2) the selection of applicants and determining their eligibility under the law; (3) the administration of benefit allowances payable to certain individuals enrolled in training courses, and (4) the placement of those trained following completion of courses. The Virginia Department of Education has responsibility for establishment and conduct of training courses indicated by VEC to meet needs of area workers and the local economy. Registration with the VEC employment service office is the first step for the applicant interested in training under this program, Manager, Thomas E. McGehee said. He added that the eli gibility check-out starts with the registrant being unemployed or, in some instances, u nde r-employed. For instance, a head-ofhousehold in a farm family with annual net income of $1,2 00 or less would be among those considered under-employed. Unemployed heads-of - households with three years of work experience also would be foremost among those with good claim upon eligibility for training. No training course in any occupation, however, can be established unless there is good prospects at the outset for placement of those trained, he explained. Federal funds sufficient to train approximately 9 00 persons have been made available for the entire State during this fiscal year. Courses already have been established to train 100 persons in the Norfolk area thus far. More Socialism The New Congress, to say what everybody who reads the newspapers knows, will have plenty of business on its hands. Much of it, in a sense, will be unfinished business. It will consist of those major measures which the Administration proposed in 1962, and which either fell by the wayside when the vote was taken, or did not reach the voting point at all. The November elections, as always, brought about some changes in the dramatics personnae of Congress. The Democrats made small Senate gains; the Republicans did the same in the House. But party labels blur nowadays and there is rarely such a thing as a solid i party phalanx for or against any particular piece of legislation. The various commentators have discussed at great length what they thinkor hope--the majority in the ; two branches will stand for. We will know that, for sure, eight or ten months from now. Meanwhile the linesform and the battles are readied. in tms, we need not con- ! sider foreign policy in its principal aspects--here, by I Constitutional authority and ; general agreement, the'■ President is supreme. In the cold war, the nation must speak with one voice, and that voice is his. But domes- i tic policy is an entirely dif- | ferent matter. For example. | it is likely that the Adminis- [ tration will throw all the weight and authority it can j muster behind Medicare-- I the plan whereby everyone j drawing social security be- j nefits would become entitled to a wide-range of govern- i ment-provided medical ser- j vices. The Medicare bill fail- j ed last session, and it is common knowledge that the President felt a Jeep anger ; at the rebuff. It is also ! likely that the new Medicare bill will be broadened, to provide the same benefits for several million people in the 65-and-over age group who are not within the social J security program. Some of the supporters of I j Medicare—and, to look at ! i the problem more broadly, ! I of other possible programs j which would require more I and more government in- ; | volvement in the national I health picture—have chosen as a weapon of argument that private medicine has j failed to rise to the need, j The other side of this story j was recently told by Dr. i | George M. Fister, the new j | president of the American Medical Association. In his I words, “Hippocrates, the great Greek physician, once said, "Strong maladies re7 j quires strong medicine.-’ j These words have special. j meaning for the medical l profession today....we must i diagnose the malady and I treat it with truth.” SEE US FOR CHRYSLER - PLYMOUTH INTERNATIONAL RUSSELL BROS, Inc U.3. HIGHWAY 822 FLINT HILL, VA PHONE 675-2281 J)r. Fisterthen said that “.medicine stands as a proud symbol of the finest achievements of our competitive' enterprise system,’ and reviewed a few pages of the record. Here are some I of those pages: About 4.5 million Americans are alive today who would be dead If the mortality rate of 25 years ago still prevailed. For the first time in history the life expectancy of Americans has exceeded the i Bible's three-score-and-ten j —it is now 70.2 years. Eighty per cent of the drugs commonly now used were unknown a mere 10 years decades the United States has been responsible for more important drug discoveries than all the other nations of the world combined. Last year the prescription drug industry spent a record $245 million in research—triple that of the average industry. There is now a record number of , hospital beds in this country, and the average hospi- , tal stay is the lowest in history. A record number of new physicians—7,168-graduated from medical schools in 1962.In that year, infant mortality rates declined to a new—25.3 deaths per 1,000 births. A record number of Americans— 1 about 136 million are covered by voluntary health insurance and prepayment plans. So the story goes. Dr. Fister does not think that our medical system is anywhere | near perfect. He knows better than most of us how much more needs to be done. But he is convinced, as are legions of other authorities, that it can best be done, and done most surely and effectively, under a free system. So, he urges that the principles involved in the fight be stressed to the limit and that every legitimate means be used to acquaint the American people with the record of achievement of American medicine in all its varied phases. For, he believes, "The people will respond to the truth....” 1962 Tentative Traffic Deaths Richmond - Colonel C. W. Woodson, Jr., Superintendent of,State Police and Chairman o£ the Governor’s Highway safety Committee, has tentatively set Virginia’s 1962 toll of traffic deaths at 972, for the third worse i score recorded. Colonel Woodson advised that all statistics were subject to some upward revision due to late reporting or deaths occuring from 1962 injuries, which revert to the date of injury for statistical purposes. The worst year in history was 1941 with 11 IQ deaths and the second worse was 1951 when 999 people were killed. The rate of deaths per 100 million vehicle miles ( of travel in 1941 was 18.3 and in 1951 it was 9.0 The estimated rate for 1962 is 5.5. Deaths for the nation have not yet been fully tabulated but it is a certainty that they will exceed 40,000 for the first time. Rural deaths were up from the 698 to 1962 to 791 and urban ones from 158 to 181. Pedestrian fatalities rose from 157 to 204. Deaths of military personnel, however dropped from 56 to 51. Deaths for 1962 were 116 over the 856 of 1961 and 216 over 756 of 1960. Traffic volumes increased approximately 5 per cent. The 109 deaths during December represented the highest monthly toll since 113 people died in August of 1955. Two other months, September with 100 deaths and October with 102, reached the 100 mark. Fatal crashes, or those killing at least one person each, rose from 727 to 824. Crashes killing more than one person each were up. from 89 in 1962 which killed 212 people to 93 which killed 239. Two 1963 crashes killed eight each, two killed six each, two more killed five each and six killed four each. Total monetary loss for the year is estimated at $165 million. STOP!

National Egg Cooking Contest Announced If you're particularly adept at egg cookery - you'll be .Interested in "a national egg Woking contest which will be sponsored by a leading poultry organization t h i“s year. . . T- Denver D. Bragg, poultry specialist at Virginia Polytechnic Institute, says prizes will include a $1,000 U. S. savings bond for the first place winner in the senior division. Ten other prizes will be given in each division as well as awards to be offered by state poultry organizations. State committees which are now being organizaed will help distribute entry blanks and determine state winners for paricipation in the national contest. State contests will be held sometime between March 1 • and April 8, and the national finals will be held in Chicago May 16 and 17. Bragg says aims of the egg cooking contest are to stimulate homemakers to incorporate eggs in their planning of well-balanced family meals, not only for breakfast, but for other meals, and to encourage youth to develop early regular egg eating habits. Official entry blands and additional information are available from the Virginia Egg Council, 615 East Franklin Street, Richmond. Successful Farmer Is Man of Many Talents What are the makings of a successful American farmer in the 20th Century? A midwestern farmer sums up this typical agricultural wizard in the following manner: “He must be engineer enough to run $10,000 worth of machinery, and blacksmith enough to fix it. He must be economist enough to know when to buy and when to sell, and bookkeeper enough to spot the weak points in his operation. He's a gambler on the weather and prices. He must be a veterinarian to spot diseases castrate pigs, or stick a (floated cow. “He doesn't have to be a chemist, but he needs to know what’s in his fertilizer formulas. He doesn't have to be an agronomist, but he must know which crop variety is best and when to plant it. He doesn't have to be a diplomat, but diplomacy will help convince his wife that a one-man hay baler will increase profits enough to buy her a dishwasher. “He doesn't have to be a psychologist, but is might? help to keep his children, interested in farming while the city boys go fishing. As a farmer today he is a goodsized capitalist, but also a day laborer. He must have brains enough to make many decisions each day, and brawn enough to toss around bales of hay and bags of fertilizer. And, with it all, he must be able to walk into the bank and askfor a $20,000 loan without batting an eye." Woodville News' Week-end quests of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Hitt were Mrs. J. C.

There are ski enthusi asts even in communities far removed from snow and mountains who make annual pilgrimages to winter resorts for a few days on the slopes. It is common knowledge that skiing has Its accident hazards. The standing joke of the ski lodge with its quota of arms and legs in plaster casts is well known. Ski experts report that most accidents are caused by the skier’s poor physical condition and overconfidence. Thus the basic premise of ski safety Is to get and stay in good physical condition and to be realistic in your estimate of your own ability to handle yourself in the emergencies that arise in the mile-a-minute dash down one of the big runs. Beginning, if possible, Hints for Homemakers By Barbara Jones, H. D. Agent How long has it been since you've taken a few minutes to figure whether or not your family is receiving an adequate diet each day. Each family member needs certain foods to allow for the growth, maintenance and repair of the body. A quick check can be made by following the'll. S. D. A. approved Basic 4 Food check list. The Basic 4 Food Groups are: Milk and Dairy Products Meat and Meat Products, Fruits and Vegetables, and Breads and Whole Grain Cereals. The requirement in the Milk Group is one quart of milk per day or 4 cups. Substitutions may be made by serving ice cream, cheeses, puddings or other milk products. We need two servings daily from the Meat Group. We might occasionally substitute foods in high protein to meet requirements in this group. These would be dried beans and peas, nuts, or eggs* We need 4 servings of fruits and vegetables each day. These should include one serving of green or yellow vegetables and one serving of citrus fruit such as oranges, grapefruits or tomato* To complete the diet we need 4 servings from the bread or whole grain group. Check your families diet against this list. How do they compare? Are they getting enough of the right foods to do their best at school or on the job? If not, it’s your job to plan their meals for proper diet. Let’s all Eat Better in 1963. Use your steam iron - or another iron over a damp cloth - to remove marks left on carpets by the pressure of furniture. Steam the spot for a minute or so, but don't press down on the iron. Then brush the pile gently back into position. You can use the same treatment for matted areas. Be careful not to have the iron too hot if the carpet is nylon. ********** When you hang woolen clothing in the closet, use good hangers shaped to fit the shoulders. Hangers are best when padded and should extend to both shoulder seams of dress, coat, or suit. If you make sure clothes hang straight on proper hang, ers, you’ll cut down the need ! for pressing. *****<***** A hat-maker’s survey in six European countries show, ed 82 percent of European women in favor of men wearing hats. Typical comments: *The man in a stylish hat doesn’t look like an adolescent boy. He seldom acts like one, either." “A man without a hat is a nobody. He shouldn’t be surprised if women treat him that way.” ********** cojir.* In the early 1F00'; members of an English shooting club called the "High Hats* wore toppers. A live pigeon was placed under the hat. At ! a given signal, the shooter I raised his hat to release the j birds. Then, after replacing his hat, he took a shot at the escaping pigeon. eight to twelve weeks before the ski season, start exercising regularly with half knee bends,^toe-walking, toe touch ing and a few push-ups. Tiptoe walking will help stiengthen the lower leg muscles. For thigh muscles, sit on the edge of a table, lift your legs and straighten them out slowly. Then add weights (canned goods in a pillow case will do). When you can "lift 35 pounds with each leg in this manner, you're ready for skiing. Today’s Health, the magazine of the American Medical Association, urges that all beginners should receive coaching from a certified ski instructor. Get expert advice in selecting good equipment, especially skis and boots. A fundamental safety rule is : Never ski alone. If you’re hurt, a buddy can go for help. Ski only in areas that are patrolled or supervised. Learn how to control your skiing and how to check your speed quickly if necessary. And, very important, stop before you become too tired. The fatigued skier is much more likely to fall. More children would likely take after their parents, if they knew where they were.

Weather, however, will be the * big factor governing needs. ; Prices should hold through | February, but it is not like- j ly we will have any big in- j crease due to competition j from western markets. January stocks are up 5 j per cent for the nation, but | the big increase is in the) north-central and western ' regions where they had bun* per crops. In the South At- j lantic and south-central regions stocks are below a year earlier. In the North Atlantic region hay stocks are one-third below a year ago. Lower domestic stocks j in this region are due to I sharply reduced production | in 1962. In Virginia the feed supply situation is fairly good as far as hay is con-j cerned.

SOYBEANS Soybean prices to date do not seem to have been affected greatly by the current maritime strike. Domestic utilization of soybeans is continuing strong and there is good demand for meal, with oil remaining fairly static. If the strike continues over a longer period it will undoubtedly be a i weakening factor. However, if it is settled shortly, it should not prove too detrimental. Shippers are continuing to buy for export apparently anticipating an early end to the strike. Soybean stocks on farms, nationally are down 12 per cent from last year. In Virginia farm holdings are about two per cent less than last year. - • t _ Prices!

Mrs. Bertha Lillard Check Your Address Label Date IFYE Delegates Named For 1963 * Two young Virginians have been named delegates for 1963 under the International Farm Youth Exchange program. They are Miss Gail Lush, 22-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Ben Lush of Amelia, and Thomas Lewis Coffman, 23-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Paul K. Coffman of Salem. Under the IFYE program, delegates live and work with families in rural areas of other countries for about six months, sharing farm and household activites and attending club and community activities together. Assignments for Miss Lush and Coffman will be announced sometime this month, said Dr. Aubrey Slayton, associate state 4-H agent at Vir- * ginia Polytechnic Institute, who is in charge of the program in Virginia for the agricultural Extension Service. Miss Lush is a senior this year at Westhampton College a prospective graduate in: psychology and political science. A 4-H member for nine years, she was an ofttime winner in 4-H projects, and served as junior leader for five years. Among other honors, she was named state winner in food preparation and was a delegate to the National 4-H Club Congress in Chicago. She also is a member of the Virginia Chapter of All Stars, honorary 4-H organization. She has been active in church and community activities, serving as counselor of a youth group and as a Sunday school teacher for two years. At college she has worked in a welfare mission, and has held several offices in various campus groups. Coffman is a senior hub year at William and Mary College, working toward a B. S. degree in psychology. As an active 4-H member for many years, he won state recognition in recreation and rural arts, leadership, safety, gardening and poultry judging. He held the highest 4-H office in the state - that of president of the State 4-H Short Course. He also is a member of the Virginia 'Chapter of All Stars. In 1957 he received the Junior Chamber of Commerce “Youth of the Year" award in Salem, and has participated in over 100 programs for school, civic clubs, radio and television. He has been active in many school, church, and community organizations. ',r 5Conducted by the National 4-H Club Foundation ahd supervised in the states ;by the Agricultural Extension Service, IFYE is a peopleto-people program designed to promote international understanding through rural youth. This year IFYE anticipates 133 two - way exchanges between the United States and countries of Asia, Africa, Europe, Oceanic,1 and Latin America. Virginia now i still has one of the 1962 de| legates abroad-Curtis AbI sher of Montgomery county, who is in India. The foreign exchangees will arrive in the United States in the spring. Before they go to their host states they will have an orientation program at the National 4-H Center in Washington. The United States delegates also have a pre-departure orientation program conducted by the 4-H Foundation. Slayton said Virginia’s guests will be named later.

Cultxpor, Vo. Medical Assn. Urges Smallpox Vaccinal. America’s protection against smallpox has reached a "dangerous low", the American Medical Assoclation'warns. In a statement adopted by the House of Delegates at the association’s clinical meeting in Los Angeles November 28th, Physicians and ;the pyblic are urged to reverse "the declining immunization level against smallpox." . "Maintenance of protection against this serious epidemic disease requires revaccination at five-year intervals. A growing amount of international travel, at increasing speeds, to and from areas of the world in which smallpox is prevalent, per-, sistently threatens to introduce the disease into the United States. Recent outbreaks in other Western nations emphasize the need for attention to this problem. A “perimeter defense" against the disease—the requirement for vaccination of people coming into the country, and public health surveillance of ports of entry— is not adquate when "the inner defense is weak." Smallpox, one of the easiest diseases to prevent, is highly contagious. The virus can be spread by coughs and sneezes or even in dust. It has even been transmitted by letter. The disease often results in severe scarring of its victims, and death results in about one out of five cases. With so much of our population lacking immunity, it only takes one case to touch off an epidemic. A soldier caused infection to spread to 100 people before it was discovered he had smallpox. A traveler from Japan seeded 65 cases and caused 20 deaths after arriving from Japan, although when he landed he showed no symptoms of the disease. Rapid increase in the amount of international travel is steadily enlarging the risk of such epidemics in the United States. i Flint Hill Dr. snct-Mrs- R. S.

Local ASC Office Presents Forecast - For Agricultural Outlook During 1963 Sharp .Cuts In Farm s„T. Pluses. Continued Tn™^ Gains Achieved In 1962; Sharp reductions In farm | surpluses, largely through the successful feed grain and wheat stabilization programs stand out as a major achievement of 1962, Secretary of Agriculture Orville L. Freeman reported in a year-end summary. Matking a continuation of Secretary Freeman to halt the constant build-up of surpluses, the reduction in 1962 crops is expected to mean a 1 saving in Government costs amounting to at least $550 continuation in 1963 of the ! more than $1 billion increase in farmers’ realized . net income achieved in 1961. 1 “This outstanding achieve^ ment goes far toward fulfilling the Administration’s twin goal of raising farm income and reducing surpluses, gearing our agricultural policies to the new economy of abundance, “Sec-; retary Freeman declared. | About 30 million acres of i corn, grain sorghum, andj barley crop land were diver-1 ted by about 1.3 million pro- | ducers who voluntarily par- i ticipated in the 1962 feed' grain program of USDA's ' Agricultural. Stabilization and Conservation Service. By this means, carryover stocks of these three grains will be cut by’400 to 500 million bushels with an ultimate net savings to the Government of at least $450 million. This is in addition to ultimate savings of almost $600 million which will result from the 1961 program. Under the 1962 wheat stabilization program, also administered by ASCS, more, than 800,000 producers di-1 verted more than 12 million acres of tyheat cropland to| conservation uses. This di- ] version cut 1962 wheat pro- | duction by 265 million bush els below the 1960 crop and1 by 143 million bushels below the drought-cut 1961 crop. Ultimate savings to the Government as a result of this first year of the wheat stabilization program are expected to amount to about $100 million. These savings, totaling over $550 million, are being reflected not only in reduced : Government acquisitions of grain under price support operations but also in re’ duced need for storage space* By steadily shifting cropland from grain production to conservation uses, the new ASCS programs have accomlished the first major cutback in Government-held' grain since 1953. i Government -owned stocks of wheat and five feed grains —corn, grain sorghum, ESi- . ley, oats, arid Irye—of 2.6 billion bushels on Sept. 30. 1962, were 650 million less than on the same date in 1961 and were the lowest for any quarterly period since March 1959. Of the total quantity of Government-owned grain in storage and 520 million bushels in Government-owned bins. These figures represent a decline of about 19 percent' in the quantity of grain stored in commercial facilities and 22 percent in the quantity stored in Government bins as compared with the total, in storage as of Sept. 30, 1961. On that date, Government stocks occupied about 53 percent of approved commercial storage compared to nearly 63 percent on the same date in I960 and 45 percent on September 30, 1962. Paralleling the effort to reduce surpluses of grain was an equally successful program to stimulate soybean production. Although undertaken in 1961, its success in bringing supplies of soybeans in line with expanding needs first became apparent this year. As a result of higher support prices and larger acreage, soybean producers have been realizing greater returns from their production. The increased acreage has in general been taken out of unneeded feed grain acreage, and the increase in soybean supplies has about kept pace with the expanding domestic and foreign demand.

J. Carr and Mrs. George H. Davis, Jr., as hostesses. A cordial invitation is extended by the hostesses to men, women and children who would like to meet and welcome this visitor to our country.

Many of these farm* ers have never undertaken conservation measures on their farms, nor have they utilized other conservation services readily available to them through USD A. To assist in interesting these farmers in carrying out needed conservation practices, State, county and community committeemen were asked to encourage those who had not been doing conservation work' to undertake a needed conservation project in 1962, and to further acquaint' these farmers with the publicly provided resources available to them if needed. As a result of this effort, carried out by ASC committeemen on their own time and without pay for their services, more than 200,000 farmers who had not been carrying out conservation work filed requests for ACP assistance in initiating conservation projects this year. This increased interest, stimulated with no increase in appropriated funds, was by farmers who have not been taking part in the program. Total ACP assistance provided these and other participating farmers amounted to about $220 million. Since farmers who take part in the program must also invest their own money, time, labor, and equipment, the total investment in ACP cost-share practices amount ed to a least twice this amount, or $440 million. Another major accomplishment of the ACP of significance to both farmers and non-farmers was the inclusion in the 1962 program of authority to provide costshare payments for wildlife . conservation practices with soil and water conservation benefits. Although conservation activities carried out under previous programs provided many wildlife benefits, 1962 marked the first year when cost-sharing assistance was authorized for conservation practices primarily for the. benefit of wildlife. Under this authority, 45 States offered wildlife conservation practices in 1962. Included in the practices offered jvere (1) establishment of vegetative cover to provide wildlife food plots* and, habitat, (2) development or restoration of shallow water areas, and (3) construction of ponds or dams for wildlife. Beginning in 1963 on a limited pilot basis, costshare assistance will be provided for converting cropland to grass, trees, water storage, and recreation uses* Soil, water, forest, and wildlife conservation practices which help develop incomeBirth Announced Mr. and Mrs. Carroll Racer of Washington, Virginia announce the birth of a daughter, Beverly Kay, born Saturday, January 12, 1963 in the Warren Memorial Hospital.

Emergency Disaster Assistance i: * Drought, floods, hurricanes, high tides, and windstorms were among the natural disasters requiring emergency assistance for farmers and ranchers in many States and areas dur-, ing the past year. Made availablethrough ASCS in areas designated for emergency aid were programs including (1) donation' or sale of feed grains owned by the Commodity Credit Corporation; (2) grazing and haying privileges under three supply-adjustment programs; (3) emergency conservation cost-sharing mea-‘ sures under ACP’ and (4) use of CCC-owned grain for emergency wildlife feeding. The assistance offered pro-' vided immediate or sustained aid as needed. Through Oct. 31, 1962, as a result of drought or flood in the various areas, grazing and haying privileges on lands retired under the conservation reserve or the 1962 feed grain and wheat stabilization programs were granted to farmers in 484 counties in 20 states. The total area to which the gracing and haying privileges applied amounted to more than a million acres.

The county agent says the inspection and the subsequent treatment of all infected flocks, will be free of charge to producers, and should rid the state and the county of the money-losing malady. What is scabies? The County Agent says most sheep producers know only too well* An ancient scourge, it was a plague to Biblical shepherds. Although an effective treatment has been available for many decades, the problem of eradication has beerCone of identification and location of infected flocks. Not only does the disease cause heavy losses in flocks, but it is highly contagious. If Virginia should remain an infected state, producers here would doubtless find rigid enforcement of regulations governing the moveweek-end with his sister, Mrs. George Kidwell and Mr. Kidwell and family.

Kidwell and Glenda Brewer of 5 Alexandria were also week-end guests in the Kidwell home. ment of their animals in interstate commerce. The disease is caused by an infestation of tiny mites. Scientifically dubbed Psoropte^p the mite which causes most concern in sheep scabies is only about l/50th of an inch long, and spends its entire life on the animal. This particular species does not affect man or other domestic animals. Historically, other species of mites have caused widespread suffering - both in men and animals. Napoleon’s armies are said to have been plagued by scabies, with sufferers numbering in the hundreds of thousands. In fact, some historians say that the emperor himself suffered the condition for years, and that in his well-known “Napoleonic pose* the great man had simply inserted his hand inside his waistcoat in an attempt to relieve the itching caused by scabies mites. The local agent explains that sheep scabies mites are inactive during the summer, and often hard to find. During the winter months however, the mites are active and readily detected - hence the winter dates for the inspection. Infected sheep rub, bite, and scratch themselves to relieve the intense itching, losing wool from the infected areas. Untreated animals may die after prolonged infection. The disease spreads by direct contact from animal to animal. Sheep do not develop an immunity to scabies. ONE DROP of BLOOD FIGHTS MENTAL 'RETARDATION VR.
