Echoes From Harris Hollow In case you have been disturbed by an unusual commotion by day and flashing lights by night beneath the Peak in Harris Hollow, maybe we can offer some explanation. Beginning Friday, June 14 and ending Sunday, June 16, Troop 685 Boy Scouts from Fairfax .County Annandale area, forty strong, pitched their tents on Bellevue Farm and organized for action. If one can discount the confusion of lost cars in the side lanes and trails searching for the initial rendezvous, the whole affair came off with perfect planning. The Scouts completed a pioneering project consisting of a twenty-seven foot high platform tower of native materials. There was a demonstration of six horses and equipment by Mary Miller Wood,Mike Forward, Jim Forward and John Baumgardner . On Sunday morning there was a religious service followed by a hike up the Devil’s Stairs. Add to this, the usual scouting^ctivities of preparing a c^np, cooking meals, and anbccasional swim in a nearby pond, it is easy to see that a busy weekend was had by all. Mr. Paul Nichols, scoutmaster at Flint Hill visited the boys and participated in their campfire activities. The Troop was duly impressed by Rappahannock County and looks forward to a future campout in the area. Lamb Show and Sale The‘second 4-H lamb show and sale this spring was held Monday in Winchester.

LATHAM, Managing Editor Entered as 2nd Class Mail at the Post Office at Washington, Va. SUBSCRIPTION (in advance) . |2.60 PER YEAR SWIMMING POOL SAFETY STRESSED I In summertime America is a nation of swimmers. Home pools are fast becoming as common in backyards as on movie stars' and millionaires’ e s t a t e s. Community pools and swim clubs outnumber country clubs. Swimming is one of the healthiest of sports and should be kept that way, says Dr. L. O. Fears, Director of the Clarke-FrederickPage-Rappahannock-Warren- Page-Rappahannock-WarrenWinchester Health District. We all know of the risk of drowning, but not everyone thinks of the danger of cuts, scrapes, concussions, fractures or electric shocks. Swimming pool accidents have become a greater problem than pool sanitation and infection, according to an authority of the American Public Health Association. Overcrowing is a common cause of accidents. So is running on the wet hard surface around the edge of the pool, where a slip and fall can have nasty results. Jumping or diving into shallow water or crowded spots can produce broken bones and cracked skulls. Placing pools within range of wires on power lines has led to tragic results. Extreme caution should be exercised with lighting equipment and electric appliances used in and abput the pool. In public pools, a qualified lifeguard should be on duty at all times the pool is open, and there should be one lifeguard for every 75 people in the pool area. Before installing a home pool, health and safety regulations should be checked. These include provision for proper fencing, sanitation, drainage, structural stability, proper distance from property and power lines and other precautions. This applies particularly to homebuilt or portable pools. Fences and gates should be adequate to prevent youngsters from entering when the pool is unattended. Equipment for assistance to swimmers in distress should be kept at poolside. Reputable swimming pool construction companies know the regulations, as well as the specifications for filtering systems and disinfectant chemicals. Mrs. Miller Hostess At Bridge Party Mrs. D. D. Miller of Washington was hostess Thursday night at two tables of bridge for the following guests: Mrs. George H. Davis, Jr., Mrs. Rayner V. Snead, Mrs. W. H. Moffett, Mrs. Charles T.

ASC NEWS . . . Conservation work costs money. That’s why we have and ACP, H.S. Barksdale, Chairman, Rappahannock County, Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee, said today. He pointed out that being convinced about the benefits of conservation is not enough, and expressed the belief that (many) farmers still may not understand that they can obtain program help in getting the needed conservation job done on their farms. “Just drive around the country,” the Chairman declared,” and you can easily spot the farms where conservation farming is being practiced. In (most) cases, you would also find that the Agricultural Conservation Program is cooperating with the farmer in carrying out the conservation practice on the land.'” For farmers who may not fully understand just how ACP works, Mr. Barksdale explained that the program’s purpose is to encourage the establishment of soil, water, woodland, and wildlife conservation practices needed in the public interest. The program, therefore, has an incentive type of approach to the problem — it “shares the cost” of sound conserI vation measures which the farmer would not carry out without such assistance. Funds for this purpose are authorized by Congress in recognition of the faci that the Nation’s natural resources are vital not only the farmers and ranchers who operate the land but also to the health and well-being of each citizen, both nowand in the future. ACP practices to promote conservation measures are selected to meet local as well as national conditions. Each county has a list of the practices, specifications, and cost-share rates approved for local farmers participating in the program. In brief, the farmer obtains ACP cooperation by filing a request with the ASC county cbmmittee for ACP costsharing before carrying out the practice. He receives a definite notice from the committee of the extent to which •his request has been approved. After completion of the practice, the farmer certifies this by filing the necessary report form with the county office. His cost-sharing assistance, in the form of either cash or a purchase order for a conservation service or material, usually covers about half the cost of the approved practice. Under the cash plan, the farmer pays the total cost of establishing the approved practice, and he is later reimbursed for the Government’s share of the cost. Under the purchase order plan, the Government’s cost share is advanced to the vendor who supplies the farmer a conservation material -- such as seed,fertilizer or lime. The vendor who furnishes the material or service bills the Government and received payment for the Governmenrs sh^jre^ of the cost. The farmer p^ys the vendor the difference between the amount the Government pays and the total cost of the material or service used. ACP also helps pay for technical service where required to determine need and practicability or to plan and lay out the practice.This is accomplished through special arrangements with the Soil Conservation Service and the State Forester. Farmers who wish details about ACP are urged to call at the ASCS County Office. Land Transfers Virgie Martha Pullen Garrison to John Franklin Early 15.12 acres, Jackson District. Thomas L.

Questions are being asked regarding the Recreational Program being, planned by the Rappahannock Development Committee (see article page 3 Rapp’k News of May 16th). First, this Committee felt the greatest need was for non-commercial recreation for local citizens. People of all ages tend to get bored when they don’t know how to entertain themselves or how to find entertainment. After retirement, senior citizens frequently get the feeling of not being wanted or not having pleasant pass - time activities. Often we hear middle-aged people say, “I wish I’d learned how to do such when a youngster but I’d be embarrassed now to make such an attempt.” When you were a youngster, the time you did your dirty work; weren’t they your idle times? The Committee has in mind commencing classes in recreation; perhaps four or six as a starter. What classes “ will depend upon what the public is interested in, will do, and who is available to teach others how. Adult classes must be self supporting and therefore a modest charge for instruction must be made. No charge will be made for youngsters. The Committee feels that some recreational classes need be taught by age groups. Thus in checking the "fact finder” below it may be well to report: whether you are of pre-teen age, teen age, from 20-35 years old. 35-60 or 60 plus. Send this information,along with your checked (✓) fact finder to Frank Louches or W. H. Lyne, Washington, Virginia. Time's a flying so don’t delay.

Rowell, Extension entomolor gist at Virginia Polytechnic Institue. Q - Is the alfalfa weevil becoming resistant to Heptachlor? A - There is every indication that the alfalfa weevil has developed resistance to Heptachlor. This is substantiated by tests on resistance by Dr. J. L. Bishop, toxicologist at VPI, and by the fact that spring treatments with Heptachlor failed to control the alfalfa weevil larvae and adults this year. Q - Has the alfalfa weevil changed its habits? A - Very definitely, yes. The most significant change is the development of a phase with more than one generation per year and larvae causing damage throughout the growing season. We had indications of this as early as two years ago in counties of lower elevation, expecially Cumberland, Campbell. Appomattox and Prince Edward. This is now a well established fact in a triangle of counties from Patrick to Greensville to Rockingham, and all counties east of the Blue Ridge chain. Q - Did the fall treatment with Haptachlor fail this year? ■" 1 '' h i ■ • ■' . <ri/ A - The fall Heptachlor treatment in fertilizer or in granular form failed to control the alfalfa weevil In all counties mentioned above. In many counties, for ex! ample — Lee and Scott in i the western part of Virgin1 ia — the fall treatment was just as effective this year as ever in any area in Virginia. Warnings have been given to alfalfa growers not to expect control with the fall treatment of Heptachlor next year as it is just a matter of spreading of resistant weevils to these areas. Q - What do you advise ! farmers to do in light of I these developments? A - I would strongly advise alfalfa growers to drop the fall treatment from their plans for 1964, and to depend on spring spray recommendations which will be forthcoming from the Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station and Extension Service. It is indicated that we will continue to recommend the spring spray treatment with malathion, possibly adding the guthion anddiazinon spring spray treatment. 0 - Are any new insect! cides on the horizon to replace Heptachlor? A - Research has not come up with such a mater ial which can be substituted for Heptachlor in fertilizer or in granular form for the fall treatment. In as much as Heptachlor is a chlorinated hydrocarbon, it is assumed that other similar insecticides — dieldrin for example — will eventually fail to control the alfalfa weevil. For these reasons, stress will be on the use of organic phosphates or carbamates for spring spray treatments -- using suchinsecti cides as malathion, guthlon, and. possibly diazinon. -,-A.r ■ •**•**•**• Q - is this pest going to drive us out of the alfalfa business in Virginia? A - In my opinion, alfalfa being our number one forage crop, we must continue to grow it. In the past we have found excellent controls for the alfalfa wee-, vill -- the number one pest of alfalfa — and we will find newer and equally satisfactory controls in the future. We should not even consider going out of the alfalfa business. i^S«f:w<w:*S«<W*>:www».w;w;w;sw%v;s%v.v.%%v.v.%v.vwv*%w.%v#vv«*w^ I Watch and Clock Repairing QUICK EXPERT SERVICE IS COVERSTOWS WATCH SHOP is Main Street Front Royal, Va.|| PICTURE FRAMING ARTISTS’ SUPPLIES Diploma Framing A Specialty — We Frame Graduation Photograph* — Warren Paint Sc Supply Company 415 East Main St. FRONT ROYAL.

YESTER-YEAR IN RAPPAHANNOCK The Knitting Bee ■ ' By Loueitima C. Moffett Old records, letters and oft-told tales of life in Rappahannock d.uring the War Between the States,point to the fact that the women of the county did their part well . . . with courage,skill and gaiety during that tragic period. They refused to be discouraged, when the news of the terrible battle of Antietam was brought to them. . . they worked harder than ever. Especially busy were the young girls of the Mt.Salem area, who held their knitting bees regularly, first at one home than at another, riding horseback or sometimes walking. Nothing but high-water, they all had to cross Old Battle Run, and sometimes not that, interfered with their meetings ... to knit for their boys in the Confederate Army. It is recorded that once, when Battle Run was past fording, one of the young ladies swam her horse across that often turbulent mountain stream. Battle Run is a winding stream. Travelers have been caught between crossings several miles apart. . . . there was no way aroung . . . .so one had to swim to get out. The “Brooke Place", now called "Spring House Farm" and owned by Mr. and Mrs. D. B. Smith, was a favorite meeting place for the young people of the neighborhood. Jenny and Lucy were the girls; their brother Davis was in the Confederate Army. Riding. . .or walking over, often for a day . of knitting and fun together were the Bell girls, whose father was a Presbyterian minister. He farmed during the week and preached in the Presbyterian Church on Sunday. The Roberts girls, who lived Just over the hill, and were cousins; the Dudley girls who lived a little further on at "Midway"; and across the run towards the “Old Richmond Road", the Miller girls of “Poplar Shade” Joined the group. Furtherest away was Eliza Anderson of Locust Shade on the Richmond Road. After the war she married Col. Tom Massie of the Confederate Army and lived at Meadow Grove just a few miles away, A lovely sight it must have been as those pretty girls sat around large open fires, or on grassy lawns knitting for the Confederate soldiers. There was quite a'lot of competition and every Knitting Bee had it's champion knitter of the day. At first they would, all together, measure their yarn by their arms. . .ten. . .fifteen . . . twenty yards at a time, letting the loose coils of yarn fall to the floor beside them. A signal would be given. . .“Go!". Needles began to fly and the loose yarn would disappear into a sock for a soldier boy. The one finishing first scored and it was marked up by the score keeper. Time and again they measured their yearn until the day was spent. The girl making the highest score was declared the day's champion. Sometimes she received a prize. . .a big bag of roasted chestnuts! They were constantly popping in the ashes and coals on the hearth. . .an unusually big pop caused much merriment as some one scurried across the room to retrieve . .and claim. . .the “Big Boy”. If the knitting bee was being held at the Roberts Home the prize was likely to be the biggest piece of Mrs. Roberts molasses pie, always a favorite. Sorghum cane did well along the sandy banks of Battle Run and large Jugs of “Long Sweetning , as it was sometimes called, were to be found in all of the homes of the area. N-O-T-I-C-E In accordance with Article 2, Section 22-62, of the Virginia School Code, notice is hereby given that the Rappahannock County School Trustee Electoral Board will meet in the Rappahannock County High School, Washington, Virginia, on— FRIDAY, JUNE 28, 1963 At 8:00 p.m., E.D.T. for the purpose of electing School Board members from the Wakefield, Hampton, and Hawthorne Districts.

The Old Brown Place about 3 miles east of Washington, Va. on M. 211, now owned by Mr. and Mrs. D. B. Smith. / Dried cherry pie and “peach leather* were delicacies always looked forward to when the knitting bee met at Poplar Shade. These gatherings afforded a wonderful opportunity for the showing of the new" linsey-woolsey" suit before it appeared at Mt. Salem Church, (the writer doesn't know much about this war time material which was considered quite beautiful except that it was woven locally, of locally carded and tlyed wool. It was possibly woven by Miss Hannah Updike at her home on Battle Run. Miss Hannah is said to have been an expert-had a number of fine looms. Another Confederate product often shown was the corn shuck hat. The best longshucks were gathered in the early fall and plaited when green. . .The plaits were then hung in a dry dark place. A little before Easter they were fashioned into bonnets and hats of various shapes. Some were dyed with polk berries in shades of red and pink. The hulls of black walnuts were used to make the brown shades. They were most resourceful. . .used what they had and had lots of fun doing it. They worked hard for the Confederate soldiers and for the slaves they owned. . . yet, somehow they kept their hands white and soft! Sheep skin gloves, made at home of course, and Lily Salve always used at night, were great helps. The salve was made of white lily petals, stewed and strained. . .stewed and strained again with mutton suet. If it was capable of doing all that Miss Betsy Ann Stonestreet, who lived in Washington, Va. to a very old age, said it could do, Elizabeth Arden and Helene Rubenstein had best get busy and investigate. As late as 1910 Miss Betsy grew a garden full of lilies, gathering the petals carefully. She collected mutton suet here and there and made large quantities of Lily Salve which she prescribed for most every thing. . .and took great pride in giving to all her neighbors. A child with chapped lips and hands,visiting Miss Betsy and her two maiden^sisters, was always treated with this wonderful cure-all before leaving. It was Lily Salve and sheep skin gloves that kept young hands soft and white for knitting for the soldiers of the Confederacy. FLINT HILL News Robert L.

Weekly Farm Price Oulook (Thi» la the way prospects for Virginia farm prices looked to the Virginia Dept, of Agriclnture on Friday.

(This is the way prospects for Virginia farm prices looked to the Virginia Department of Agriculture on Friday. The Department offers it to farmers with the warning that no one can predict prices and be right all the time.) Wheat Wheat prices are not expected to take the usual seasonal downward trend as this year’s crop is harvested. This should hold true primarily because of an improvement in the supply picture, a recent 20 cent decline in wheat prices and a shortage of other small grains. Spring wheat production for the U. S. is expected to reach a total of 230 million bushelsdowh 17 per cent from last year. Total wheat production, both winter and spring, should be a little over one billion bushels, or 1 per cent less than last year. Support price for wheat should run from $1.96 to $1.00 for farmers who stay, ed within their allotments. It is expected, however, that about one-half of the amount of wheat sold in Virginia will not be eligible for support price. Harvesting of Virginia’s crop will begin this week and production is expected to be down 5 per cent from last year in spite of a 4 per cent increase i n acreage. Prospects are for a good quality crop, however. Last week's prices for No. 2 grade Red Winter were Legal Notice At a special meeting of the Board of Supervisors of Rappahannock County, Virginia, duly and legally held on Monday, June 17, 1963, at 8:00 o’clock p.m.: - Upon the Motion of H. B. Wood, seconded by Herbert A. Foster and passed by a unanimous vote, amendments to the Subdivision Ordinance of Rappahannock County, Virginia, were recommended by the Local Planning Commission and proposed for adoption by said Board of Supervisors at its next regular meeting to be held on Wednesday, July 3, 1963, at 10:00 o’clock a.m. in the Court House at Washington, Virginia, at which time a public hearing will be held and the said Board will hear all persons for and against the adoption of such amendments. And the Clerk shall give the required notice of the time and place of the hearing at least once a week for two weeks, as provided in Section 15-961.4 of the 1950 Code of Virginia as amended. The Clerk of the Board is hereby directed to have copies of the abovementioned proposed amendments to the Subdivision Ordinance of Rappahannock County, Virginia, in the Clerk’s Office of the Circuit Court of said County for examination by the public, to which reference is hereby made. A COPY Teste: E. M; Jones, Clerk of the Board of Supervisors of Rappahannock County. Copies of all said Amendments can be seen at the Clerk’s Office. E. M. Jones, Clerk 6-20-2k $1.76 at Richmond, $1.80 to $1.85 at Norfolk, $1.85 for cleaned wheat at Rapldan and $2.00 at Rockingham. In Chicago No. 2 wheat was bringing $1.96 to $1.97 and in Baltimore, $1.96. Potatoes Eastern Shore potato growers will begin harvesting this week. Due to the heavy rainfall of a week ago, a 5 to 6 per cent loss of potatoes is estimated in the low-lying sections of the Eastern Shore. As of June 1 an estimated production of 3,150,000 hunderweight of potatoes is forecast on the Eastern Shore1 per cent above last year or 2 per cent above the 5 year average. Tomatoes Heavy rains during the first part of June caused some local flooding and damage. A total of 11,300 acres of tomatoes for fresh market and processing is expected in Virginia—7 per cent below last year. Planting of tomatoes was a little later this year. Harvesting should begin the last week in June. * mttmm “School’s Out-Watch Out" Woodville News Miss Mattie Rector Mrs. E. W. Hechler of Highland Springs was a week-end guest of Mrs. R. M. Johnson.

Phone VA 5-2781 See Us for JOHN DEERE QUALITY FARM EQUIPMENT Social Security Teenagers Attention!! This is an exciting time for you. Many of you will be graduating from school and going to .work in the next few weeks. As an employee there are many things you will have to do and one of the most important, according to Mrs. Hazel F. Daly, Social Security District Manager, is to get a social security account number. Most persons in the work force today, both employees and those who are self-employed, are covered by social security. By covered it is meant that they pay a special tax on their earnings which in turn protects them, their dependents, and survivors against financial loss due to old-age, disability or death. These events are probably inconceivable to you now — but they strike without discrimination or warning. When they do, your social security account number may be your most important asset. All your earnings throughout the years are credited to that number, and it will be the basis of any claim you file. There are several important facts to keep in mind about your social security account number. First, if your name changes because of marriage or any other reason, be sure to file a change of name with yourv social security office. Secondly, if you ever lose your card, be sure to get a duplicate card. Last, but not least, your card comes in two parts. Sign and carry the main part and place the other card in a safe and accessible place. Interest To Veterans About 16TOO Virginia children and dependent parents of deceased veterans will receive an increase of approximately 10% in their monthly dependency and indemnity compensation payments as result of a new law just signed by the President. This increase applies only to cases where the veteran died in s e r v 1 c e or of service connected conditions. A child now getting $70 per month will receive $77 under the new law. Two children getting $100 will receive $110 divided equally. Three children receiving $130 will receive $143 divi ded equally. If there are more than three children each additional child will add $28 to the $143. In the case of dependent parents living together with an annual income of less than $1000, their present payments of $50 each will be increased to $55 each.. These increases will be automatic and will be included in the checks mailed to reach beneficiaries about July 31, 1963. 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. Selective Service News An appeal may be taken from any local board classification. In addition to appeal is the right of personal appearance before the local board.
