Mrs. Nora Jenkins Hospitalized Firir ' Time in 104 Years Mrs. Nora Jenkins of Slate Mills, though she Is 104 years old, had a lot of "firsts*' two weeks ago. August 22 was the first time she had been to a doctor, the first time she had been In a hospital, the first time she had been In an ambulance. Mrs. Jenkins fell at her home and was taken by Rappahannock Rescue Squad to Culpeper Memorial Hospital for x-rays. No bones were broken but her knee was dislocated. Until she had the unfortunate fall, Mrs. Jenkins had been keeping her own house, canning and'preservlng and making hooked rugs for sale, too. She has never worn glasses and can thread a needle with the naked eye; she has never been to a dentist and has most of her teeth, except a few she pulled herself. Her mind is clear and memory very good, as she talks about the Civil War. She dealt a blow to modern science when she stated that she had smoked a pipe since her early teens, never had a cough or any lung congestion. She had 12 children, 11 living at present, and all were delivered by a midwife. Her Local Scouts Spend & At Fhilmont Ranch 1 A group of Boy Scouts from Washington and Flint Hill took a trip to Philmont Ranch, Cimarron, New Mexico from July .28 through August 17. In the following story, to be run In Installments, Page Moffett, Troop Scribe, gives a running account of their trip. August 2, 1963 — Today we got up later than usual. We arose at about 5:30 and after a good breakfast at the Philmont dining hall, we prepared to take our pictures. Around 8:00 our council took a group picture along with the other members of our expedition. As soon as this was over we went to the infirmary for our medical check-up. Some boys got shots, but only as a preventive measure. Having finished this, we went to our tents to get our clothes for the shakedown at the camp. Our leader and Ranger, Jerry Thatcher, showed us how to tie the diamond hitch on our packs and told us the bare essentials to take on our hike. It is amazing how little you had to take for the trip. As soon as this was over, we ate lunch and set out on our way. Our destination was Olympia Camp where we would spend two nights. Jerry would stay with us for three days. We drove by bus to the road leading to Olympia, where we were let off. From there we walked the 1 1/2 miles to the camp. The distance was covered in a short time and we set up camp. After this work was completed we bought special fishing 11.... Fire and Rescue ~ A$ijuad Rates Rappahannock Rescue Squad took Mrs. Nora Jenkins of Slate Mills to Culpeper Memorial Hospital on August 29. The following day it transported Mrs. Ernest Dodson from Peola Mills to University of Virginia Hospital, Charlottesville. August 31, Robert Dodson of Washington was carried to Warren Memorial Hospital. oldest son is in his 80's. There are 66 grandchildren, 118 great-grandchildren and she does not know the exact number of great-greats. According to Mrs. Bertha Armel who accompanied the rescue squad, Mrs. Jenkins only complaint to the ambulance ride was that they would not allow her to smoke her pipe in the vehicle. When she got back home she exclaimed, "I am glad to get out of that thing. Give me my pipe.” She returned to the home of a daughter, Mrs. Sam Fincham at Peola Mills to recuperate. Mn. Nora Jenkins celebrated her 104th birthday March 4, IMS with a gathering of family and friehda at her home 19 Slate Mills. f I everal Weeks n New Mexico senses for ten days. Having received their licenses, most of the boys went fishing. The rest helped prepare supper. Around 6:00 we had dinner. Supper consisted of spaghetti, apple sauce, orange juice, and soup. It was delicious. Finally we all sot to sleep. August 3, 1963 — T o d a y we got up, prepared breakfast and got ready for a hunter’s safety course at 9:00 a.m. Four scouts, Frank and Page Moffett, Skippy Giles, and Frank Robinson took the course. All four passed and got their hunter’s safety badges. During the afternoon some boys took part in a fly tying course. Each boy made a fly to use with his fishing gear. Later on in the afternoon, at just about suppertime, the sky clouded up and started to rain. The tents were lowered to the ground to keep the rain from coming in. In spite of the rain, a fire was built and supper was prepared. This meal consisted of steak, green beans, peach cobbler, and milk This meal tasted superbly good because of the rain. After supper, we took a close look at our tents and saw that none of them had much water in them. After straightening out our belongings, everyone went to bed. August 4, 1963 — Today we got up at about 7:00 and prepared for breakfast and Abreu, our next stop. Before breakfast all the tents were put out to dry. Our breakfast consisted of fried potatoes, bacon, and French toast. Everything was cooked well and the meal was delicious. After the meal was eaten, we got our packs ready tor the hike to "Abreu* We checked out and headed on our way. The 3 1/2 mile hike was not hard and we covered it in 75 minutes. Upon arriving, we set up camp and prepared for lunch. The water had to be drawn from the river and purified before it could be drunk or used in cooking. After lunch some guys took part in a fly tying courge again while others stayed at the camp. Meanwhile, it started raining and got some of the tents wet but did not damage any. That night some of the boys attended Protestant church services; the others prepared dinner. The dinner was delicious and fitting for the occasion. In preparation for the next day's hike, all the boys turned in to get as much sleep as they could. August 5, 1963 -- This morning we arose at 5:00. We had a long hike ahead of us and wanted to get started around 7:00. We prepared breakfast and ate quickly. But due to inspection and other things we didn’t get started until 8:00. Hiking all the way was rough and carrying our food in boxes (Continued on page 2) Library Board ® Names CommitteesThe first meeting of the Executive Board of Rappahannock County Library was held Friday evening, August 30 at the library in Washington, with Chairman William M.

Moffett, III, better known as Frank, is the first boy from Rappahannock County to become an Eagle Scout. He passed his examination on Tuesday, August 27, 1963 before a special Board of Review in Winchester. Frank is a son of Mr. and Mrs. W. Moffett, Jr. of Washington, Va. He will receive his Eagle Badge at a Court of Honor to be held later this month. Twenty-one merit badges are required for Eagle Scout rank, of which fifteen are a select group. Frank now has a total of twenty-six. For the examination he was required to make a report on what it means to become an Eagle Scout. After being questioned for an hour and a quarter, the examiners told Frank that they usually gave each applicant advice on his duties on becoming an Eagle Scout, but that his report tyas excellent and they had nothing more to say. The Board told Scoutmaster T. Carlyle Lea, Jr. that as long as he brought boys oi this calibre ovec there would be no question about their passing the examination. Frank joined Troop #64 of the Boy Scouts of America February 8, 1958 and has been active since that time serving as Patrol Leader, Senior Patrol Leader, and Junior Assistant Scoutmaster.

Founder’s Day Observed August 26; Marks Park’s 47th Anniversary Superintendent R. Taylor Hoskins of Shenandoah National Park today announced the observance of the 47th anniversary of the establishment of the National Park Service. Shenandoah National Park visitors, from near and far, attended special campfire programs commemorating the 47th anniversary of the establishment of the National Park Service. An illustrated talk titled "Our National Parks, An American Heritage" was given at the Skyland Campfire Circle Sunday evening August 25, and "The Past, Present, and Future of Shenandoah National Park" was given Monday evening August 26 at the Big Meadows Amphitheater. On August 25, 1916, Congress passed a bill, signed into law by President Wilson, establishing the National Park Service as a bureau in the Department of the Interior. For the first time, the National Parks were under one bureau, and under one direction, Stephen T. Mather. By that time, 44 years after the establishment of Yellowstone as the first National Park, a total of sixteen National Parks and twentytwo National Monuments had been created. The Parks 'Were established by Congressional action and the Monuments by Presidential proeJ*p9tioQ». V>.v s - . Since then, the National Park Service has grown. Today there are 31 National Parks, at least 80 National Monuments, many National Historic Sites, National Seashores, National Military Parks, National Capital Parks, and other areas with a total of over 190 areas administered by the National Park Service. • Over 82,300,000 people visited the National Park Service areas in 1962. Thiswas an 8.6% increase over 1961. In 1962 over 2,049,000 people visited Shenandoah National Park. Travel to Shenandoah for the 1963 calendar year shows over 10.1% increase over the same date last year. Apple trees groan with their burden, the largest crop in Rappahannock’s history, and then reach a breaking point. Limbs are propped from every angle, and still the weight is too great for them to bear. The recent rains have had a marked effect on the growth of the fruit, and the late varieties will develop to a better size than the early ones.

Interested Rappahannockans please contact this office. The Rappahannock Angus Committee will be inspecting forty-one herds which have nominated for their Ocotber 15th sale. Estimates made by members last November and December indicated this sale would have around 1800 head. As result of the drought jmd several herds having been sold at present only 1050 head are expected. No doubt all calves will be lighter, however quality should be as high as ever.

Going back to feeder cattle sales; it is fortunate only we are in a drought area; think what prices would be like were our buyers as short of feed as we are. Inflation Is a lot like over eating; It makes you feel so good, right up to the time when it’s loo late to correct it. One of the hardships our pioneer ancestors escaped was the problem of disposing of today's ‘‘disposable’' containers. ■ SHENANDOAH VALLEY DAIRY HEIFER Rath ■ TUESDAY 12:00 NOON OCTOBER 1st VERONA SALES PAVILLION <1 alls North of Staunton) . ********* This first annual consignment sale sponsored by the Auguste & Rockingham D.H.I.

PUBLIC MAY VIEW MILKING PARLOR IN OPERATION SEPTEMBER 20-28 A Milking Parlor, with a glass walled observation deck for public viewing, will be an added attraction at the 1963 State Fair of Virginia to be held at Richmond September 20-28, J. A Mitchell, the Fair’s General Manager, announced today. A new building, 36 x 70 feet, or concrete block and aluminum Is now under construction and will be completed by September 1. The new structure will house a battery of automatic milking machines to be provided by one of the leading equipment manufacturers. The building is located in the dairy exhibit area on the fairgrounds and a new hard surfaced road is being built to provide easy access to the new department. The Milking Parlor will be manned and supervise^. by personnel supplied by t h e Virginia State Dairymen’s Association. Milk secured during the demonstrations will be sold to partly defray the cost of operation. The modern machinery to be installed will milk four cows at a time under strict sanitary conditions. Plans call for the milking of all open class and junior dairy cattle on exhibit. Exhibitors may use their own herdsmen if they operate under the prescribed supervisory regulations. There will be two demonstrations each day and each will last for two hours. Fair patrons will be informed as to the scheduled demonstrations. Speed is not the main purpose of the demonstration but rather to show the advantages in mechanical milking. The Milking Parlor will include a sales room for the sale of dairy products to the public. Mr. Mitchell added, “The Milking Parlor is a feature that we feel is of genuine interest to a large number of fair patrons and everyone will enjoy watching one of the marvels of the present day dairy farm.” Scouts— (Continued from Page 1) made it more difficult to hike. We covered a mile in about 1 hour and then stopped. One group of boys went with Mr. Lea, our Scoutmaster, tofish, while another group went on to our destination, Rayado. The first group of boys fished for about an hour and then had lunch. After lunch we went on for about 5 hours and then sighted Rayado. There tfas a mutual feeling among us all during the hike. That was that there would be no end to the canyon which we were traveling in. The hike was the longest 6 1/2 miles we have ever hiked. It really was a relief to> see Rayado. When we reached the camp we were assigned to a campsite about a mile from the main camp. Here we set up our tents and prepared supper. Everyone was tired and supper tasted good. Thli$fst of t*ie time was spenlH taking showers and wash nig clothes. Finally, everyone went to sleep. August 6, 1963 — Today we set off for our new camp. Lost Cabin. Lost Cabin was only a mile and a half away. We started out with full packs and two food boxes. After traveling a while we came to a mountain. The mountain was very steep and it took us about 45 minutes to climb it and to arrive at Lost Cabin. The hike though short, was very rough. When we arrived in Lost Cabin, we were surprized at the beauty of the camp. There were aspen trees,pine,spruce, and juniper trees all around. There were even some little pools in the creek in which there were some rainbow trout. There was even a place where the water was pure enough to drink without having to be purified. All in all, it was a simply beautiful campsite.

Then some boys went fishing while others took a survival course. The course taught us how to live in the wilderness if we got lost. Among things tnr eluded were names of edible plants, building of our equipment, and how to cook with handmade material. As soon as the course was over, we prepared supper. Supper being finished, we turned in for bed in preparation for the next days Journey to Beaubien camp August 7, 1963 — Today we got up and prepared for what was supposed to be the longest and toughest hike of our trip. We at first planned to stay at Beaubien but then decided to go on to Black Mountain camp if we weren’t too tired. After eating breakfast, we headed for the camp at around 9:15 a.m. The road to Beaubien was 6 miles long and the trail to Black Mt. was 2 miles Iona. From the start the hike was not very hard. Most of it was level ground and steep uphill. At about noon we reached Beaubien. Here we ate lunch and picked up our supplies for the hike to Black Mountain and to Cypher’s Mine. After lunch we set out for Black Mt. Trail Camp. The hike was fairly easy, about half of it being a very steep inclined downhill. When we reached the camp, we were assigned by the director to mate a new campsite as our conservation project. This project was a requirement for our 50 Miler Badge, which all of us hope to get. We spent about 3 hours cleaning up the place, building a fireplace, and setting up our tents. About 8:00 we ate supper and went to bed. Before retiring, we decided to call our campsite Virginia City. August 8, 1963 — Today we arose and prepared for work on the conservation part of our 50 Miler Badge. We first ate breakfast and then started to work. Our work consisted of three main parts. They were as follows: 1. Building a table 2. Building a barricade around the campsite, and 3. Cleaning the area of rotten trees and sticks. We cut the logs for the table and started the barricade. After that at about 10;30 we all went panning for gold. Although some of the boys had no luck, some got quite a bit of gold flakes; David Palm^t got 16 flakes,1 which1'is about the highest this year. After this fun, we all went back to work. It was raining, but not enough to hinder us. We were split into groups and then policed the area for sticks. The larger ones were put on the barricade to build it up. The rest were put in a large pile. While this was going on, the table was being built.There were notches cut in the logs and slowly a table was formed. Stakes were driven in and nailed to the end pieces. At last, after this work, the table was finished. Before eating supper, the last piece of work was begun. A pole was cut and set up as a flagpole. When at last the flag flew from the top, we were deeply grateful. Tired from the work, we ate a delicious supper and then went to bed. Emergency Feed Aid Saving Va. Herds A million bushels of CCCowned corn have been ordered recently by the USDA Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service to feed Virginia’s livestock, now suffering critically from a prolonged drought, the worst many farm* era can recall. Actually, as of August 26, ASC county committees Had funneled orders to the ASC State Committee for 988,800 bushels of corn (463 rail carlots), according to a report released by W. T. Powers, ASCS State Executive Director, who heads the machinery of this vast grain movement. Farmers now are ordering this reduced price government grain at a dally rate of 35,000 to 40,000 bushels but Powers expected that the rate will likely be stepped up as additional counties are approved by the USDA Disaster Committee and the Secretary of Agriculture for disaster assistance. Of the 74 counties already designated as disaster areas, 69 are approved to receive livestock feed assistance through the purchase of CCCowned stocks at sharply reduced prices. All 74 disaster counties may receive relief in their feed distress by grazing and haying land which had been diverted from production under the wheat stabilization or feed grain programs or designated as in the soil bank conservation reserve, the ASCS official explained. Under conditions of drought, flood and similar disaster, the Secretary of • Agriculture is empowered to make Commodity Credit Corporation feed grains available to eligible farmers in affected areas. CCC feed is sold at not less than 75 per cent of the price support to assist in preserving foundation herds of cattle, including producing dairy cattle, sheep, and goats. Approval of individual farmers to purchase CCC-owned grain is vested in the county ASC committee.Producers must show need for the grain when they apply at the county office and must be unable to obtain it through normal channels without undue hardship. The USDA Disaster Committee for Virginia meets to survey the over-all as well as local situations, relying on first-hand information gathered from many sources including, but not confined to, ASC committees. Extension Service, SRS crop and weather reports, FHA supervisors and the State Department of Agriculture. The Committee's recommendations are transmitted to the Governor of the State requesting that the need for assistance be certified by the Governor to the Secretary of J Agriculture.' At the sametimq the committed Sencfd'ltfc request directly to the Secretary. Upon approval of a request for assistance by the Secretary, the program is activated and operated by the ASCS State and county organizations. The USDA Disaster Committee for Virginia is composed of James E. Warren, Chairman of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee — who aldoactsas Chairman of the State USDA Disaster Committee; W. H. Daughtrey* Director of the State Agricultural Extension Service; and L. Stanford Finney, State Director of the Farmers Home Administration. Powers is the Committee’s Executive Secretary.

Powers said that the ASC State Committee is pressing vigorously to get railroads to reduce freight rates on the transportation of hay to drought-plagued areas of Virginia. In late July the Interstate Commerce Commission approved rate reductions on hay shipments, a prerequisite to rate cuts by railroads. However, agreement is required by individual railroads before a reduction can be effected. Powers said that all railroads in Virginia have agreed to ship hay at a 50 per cent reduction to Virginia’s disaster counties. These lines are Chesapeake and Ohio; Norfolk and Western; Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac; Southern; Atlantic Coast Line; and Seaboard Air Line. In addition, the Baltimore and Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York Central Railroads have agreed to ship hay to Virginia’s drought areas at a rate of 25 per cent below normal. Powers said that the Governor, the Virginia delegation in the United States House and Senate, the ASC State Committee and other Interested groups are still negotiating for freight rate concessions from' mid-West railroads which are carriers for a large part of the available hay this year.

Income from renting property for business and commercial use such as a store, factory, or office space is not counted for social security purposes regardless of the service rendered for the convenience of the tenant. The types of services which would cause rental income from an apartment or rooms WATCH kEPAI HERE frr expert in Service and Morkmanship See CREEL’S JEWELRY STORE Culpeper, Va. to be covered under social security can be generally defined as "hotel type* services. These include room service, making beds, furnishing linens and towels, providing laundry services, preparing and serving meals sweeping'and tnopping floors dusting and cleaning, washing dishes, and emptying wastebaskets. Mrs. Daly emphasized that no particular service or com binatlon of these services will necessarily cause the income to be counted fbjr social security. Each case must be consideredLbyitself. She suggests that if any one has additional questions concerning this subject that they get in touch with her office at 133 W. Boscawen St., Winchester, Va. The phone number there is 662-3846. STOP!

Wilkerson, Superintendent of Public Instruction and a member of the Governor's Highway Safety Committee, said today in urging motorists to drive carefully to protect them. More than 475,000 of these vj pupils will be transported in •j 5,400 school buses, which will ft travel dally the mileage equivalent to covering the entire p State highway system approxir mately -five times each day. During the school year, there ' will be approximately 75 million road crossings by childf ren going to and from school buse8, the superintendent .*? said. Dr. Wilkerson pointed out that Virginia law requires all motor vehicles to stop when approaching a school bus which is loading or unloading • children. “The vehicle must remain stopped," theSuperin■( tendent said, “until the bus is again in motion and the road is clear of children. The law affects motor vehicles approaching buses from any direction and applies to all < types of roads, includingmultiple-lane, divided highways.” " * The Superintendent asked motorists to drive with caution £when approaching children ^crossing- streets, walking H|along highways, or waiting for PPschool buses. rfi #■ The opening of school . r \ Vr brings heavy concentrations of young people in the morning and afternoon and their thoughts frequently are not '• /concentrated on traffic hazA,ards,” he observed.

I Interest To Veterans The latest available figures show that the veteran population of the United States has increased almost five times since 1930, from 4.7 millions to 22.3 million in 1962. In 1930 one of every 17 persons, age 18 or over, was a war veteran. Now about one of every 5 adults has served in the Armed Forces. More than 9 out of every 10 living veterans in 1930 had served in World War I, but now just slightly over one out of 10 veterans is of W.W.I. Almost 44% of the total U.S. Population are veterans, membersof veterans' families or dependent survivors, a total of about 81 million persons. 447,000 is the estimated veteran population of Virginia. The average age of all veterans is 43.3, with W.W.I. veterans averaging 68.8 years of youngsters in traffic, he quoted Governor’s Highway 58 children below 15 years of age were killed as pedestrians in Virginia traffic and 1,224 were injured. Ten more were killed and 482 Injured in automobile v bicycle collisions. rcoopto*!® Ti^® TAXES,, SEBSEEDS WHERN Slj Gat tha variatias you want • Hava tham whan you naad tham We’re Taking Orders HOW Southern States Front Royal; Coop* Inc. 21 Mananas Street .

Help For Hoy Fever Victim Hay fever is neither caused by hay nor is it associated with fever,* says Dr. L. O. Fears, Director of the Clarke-Frederick - Page - Rappahannock - Warren - Winchester Health District. But the 10,000,000 Americans who suffer from ‘ it know the misery of stuffed running noses, watery inflamed eyes, sneezing, wheezing and general discomfort. Although a large percentage of the cases are mild, many suffer intensely with considerable loss of time from work or school and often almost complete invalidism. Dr. Fears reports that about one-third of those allergic to ragweed may develop asthma. Hay fever can be caused by trees, grasses, molds, weeds and even disintegrated insects' bodies, among other offenders. But the greatest sinner is the ragweed. In only 5 hours one ragweed plant can produce 8 billion pollen grains that can be air borne over a distance of 75 miles. And it takes only a little of the pollen to trigger an attack in a sensitive person, Dr. Fears reveals. Of the four species of ragweed, three grow knee high, but the fourth — giant ragweed — reaches head high. For some unknown reason, the giant ragweed’s scientific name, is Ambrosia triflda Ambrosia, of course, means "pleasing to'taste or smell." Any have fever, sufferer would violently disagree with the botanist who pinned this label on it. It may seem strange, but the ragweed pollination season begins earlier in.4he north than in the soud^ Ihn parts of Canada' ragged' starts pollinating in the latter part of July, whereas in Southern Texas it begins about the middle of September. This is because pollination occurs as the amount of sunlight becomes less. Thus the farther south the plants are, the later their pollination starts. Why some /of us become allergic to tre$ pollen, others to ragweed, peanuts, molds or insects remains a mystery. But it is known that the allergic tendency is - inherited. , Mild seasonal attacks can usually be treated effectively with simple medications prescribed by your doctor. More severe or persistent cases may require skin tests and desensitization against the offending substances, which differ from person to person. If asthma or other complications occur, still other methods of treatment will be required. You doctor can determine which treatment is best for the individual case. There are also a number of personal measures one can take to avoid or ease the 1 distressing symptoms. Try to keep doors and windows closed as much as possible during the susceptible period. Central air conditioning with filtration, although expensive, can provide gratifying relief. If this is not practical, a window unit in the bedroom can help toward a good night's sleep and leave one better able to withstand the sneezes of the next day. Obviously, a sensitive person should not take walks through fields or woodland. The sensitive person can plan his vacation for the period during which he is usually afflicted. A trip of only a hundred miles away to place free from the specific pollen that affects you can let you breathe freely again. Schools Are Open... Drive Carefully!
