Training leader for the second session was Dr. Donald Fessler, Rural Sociologist of VP I, who spoke on Motivating Group Activity. The conference was divided into five groups who discussed ways of improving club work in the communities, with an evaluation panel who presented the findings of the group. This work shop and conference was an experiment by the Federation to help educate and train leaders in local clubs.| The districts will hold similar conferences early in the spring, so that many more women may learn the leadership techniques and teach still others.

Curry Carter, Native County Son, Wins Senate Seat in Staunton A Rappahannock native son came through a close political race for the State Senate a winner, when Senator Curry Carter edged his opponent Winston B. Wine by a narrow 212 votes, for the seat in the Staunton area. Senator Carter had received the support of the important newspapers in his area and the backing of the Democratic organization with full recommendation by former Representative Burr P. Harrison, in a warm tribute at a rally during the final stages of the close election. A run down on the down-to' the-wire 7,163,951 ballot battle shows how really close the race was with the unofficial count showing that Senator edged Mr. Wine by 101 in Staunton and just 91 votes separated them in Waynesboro. The Bath County vote went for Senator Carter 583424 arid in Highland County only 21 votes decided the issue. In Augusta County Mr. Wine won out by 160 votes and the two men split the magisterial districts, 3-3 as Senator Carter scored in Pastures, Riverheads, and South River and Mr. Wine took Beverly Manor Middle River and North River. Senator Carter, was first elected to the Senate seat in 1948 and has served on most of the committees. During the last session he was Chariman of the Committee on Agricultural, Mining and Manufacturing but his most important work is on the Finance committee which not only must plan revenue-raising but also functions as appropriation committee of the upper house. The editorial in the Staunton News-Leader the Sunday before the election stated "Sen. Carter is one of the eight or ten most influential men in the State Senate--one could truthfully say, in the 'state government". Senator Carter is the broth sr of Mrs. W. F. Moffett and was brought up on Gay Street in Washington. He is also the cousin of Mrs. C. J. Miller, Mrs. W. C. Campbell, Mrs. A. C. Latham and has many warm personel friends through out the county.

Other votes of consequence for Justice cast in Wakefield District were 26 for Mrs. Charlotte Nichols and 9 for Robert F. Estes in Piedmont. The Possum Wasn’t On The Ground The classic “raccoon up the 'simmon tree ‘possum on the ground" was not the case at all in the meat house of the residence of Mrs. Tom Smoot at the c o r ne r of G a y a nd Wheeler in Washington the other day. She found the o'possum in a three foot tin barrel with her prize country jham that had been given her [several days before. The mystery of the whole affair is how the animal got into the meat house and then how it got into the barrel. Mrs. Smoot had carefully checked the building before putting her ham there for safekeeping and afforded extra protection by storing the ham in the tin barrel. Much supposition has arisen as to the means of entry and the most logical explanation seems to be that the animal came in through the smoke hole and swung by his tail until he was directly over the barrel and dropped in. The happy outcome is that the ham was unharmed and that Herbert Smoot was on hand to dispose of the o'possum. FLINT HILL and WILLIS CHAPEL Methodist Youth Groups stuffed Christmas Seal letters for the T.B. Association of Northern Virginia at their meeting Monday night.

RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia TELEPHONE: WASHINGTON 675-334* MRS. SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Entered as 2nd Class Mail at the Post Office at Washington, Va. SUBSCRIPTION (in advance) . *2.50 PER YEARj ■) ... WHAT’S IT TO YOU? r.? Those who read their paper last week, from cover to cover might have had the feeling that someone was trying to tell them something about one of their greatest assets...Education. That’s the reason for setting aside one week in each year to highlight the priceless opportunity we have here in America. All over the United States, in all 50 States it is called American Education Week. Obviously, this means some particular attention should be paid to Education this week by every State. But who is the state? The State is made up of counties, and towns, and dwelling in each are the important assets...people. So in the last analysis, the week is designated for YOU, the people. What have you done to celebrate, o r recognize your awareness of this inheritance, this treasure, which you have available to you because you were born here in America, instead of to some parents in Asia? There was an invitation extended to you to visit the school and talk with the teach er of your child" on Satru&ty Nov. 9th., so you could better understand what your child is being taught, how he is being taught, and by whom he is being taught. If that was interesting to you, then perhaps you were one of those thirty parents who visited Rappahannock School in Washington, Virginia on Saturday. It is interesting to observe, that although there are over 300 children who attend this school 90% of the parents, for some reason did not respond to the invitation and come. Why? Could it be that you feel there are more important demands on your time. Could it be that you feel the school system is doing all right, and you leave it all up to them. If so, how did you decide this? How can you tell? without having some basis to compare? Well, let’s look at just one area of comparison. Lets look at Rappahannock by comparing it with its neighboring counties only, and lets examine how we stand on: 1) Percent of teachers who are college graduates;2)Percent of teachers holding sub-standard certificates,and 3)Percentof High School Student “drop-outs.1’ Of the neighboring counties, of Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison, Page and Warren, Rappahannock has the lowest pexcentage of teachers who hold college degrees (59%). In the state of Virginia, Rappahannock ranks down the list 86 of the 96 reported counties in the latest report by the Virginia Education Association. But if Rappahannock is near the bottom of the list on that count it is near the top of the list, ranking 9th, on the county with the most teachers holding sub-standard certificates. No ajoining county has as large a percent of its teach ers classed as having substandard qualifications (13.6%). Now for a glance at the High-School “Drop-out" with our neighbors, Here only, can we point to an ajoining county having a higher rate of dropouts; Culpeper exceeds by having 7/8% of its High School students (White and Colored) drop out, which places it 88th in the State. Rappahannock makes a better showing here by placing 63rd, but it is still not in competition with Page, Madison and Fauquier CLORE FUNERAL HOME “The Home of Thoughtful Service” Culpeper, Va.

EXTRA■EXTRA -by El Last week was the 14th anniversary of The Rappahannock News, but we were so busy and interested in elections we Just forgot all about it and did not have time to celebrate. The first Issue of this paper was published on November 3, 1949, with Lucy Catherine Bowie as publisher. According to that issue, this Is the fifth paper to be published in Rappahannock County The first was “Rappahannock News” begun in 1177; next was the “Blue Ridge Echo’ in 1171} third. “The Call'; and then “The Blue Ridae, Guide” in 1IS6-1936. Speaking of Weeks, did you know that last week was International Cat Week and this week is Youth Appreciation Week, National Children’s Book Week and National Education Week? Can you think of a better way to celebrate than to take advantage of our and your new Rappahannock County Library? Talking with Gene Wood last week and we got to discussing “old times” when he was a State Trooper about the time I arrived in Amissville to live. He told me an amusing true story about getting a call on a drunk driver in the Amissville area whose means of transportation was a norse and buggy. Enroute to investigate, Trooper Wood had an accident in his auto when he skidded in mud and turned over. The late Charles Green owned and operated my garage at the time and he came to Gene’s aid. Charles took him down the highway as far as the bridge in search of the driver who evidently "out ran” them for they never found him. However Charles put his mechanical crew to work on Gene’s car and had him back on the road in record time. Speaking of Troopers....Halloween night Charles Jenkin6 Jokingly told Trooper Buntirt who had his car parked on the street near the Jenkins home, he was going to soap his windows there. The Joke was on Charles though, for someone else did soap his windows. Charles figured Buntin would think he did it so he had to see that it was gotten off. Guess Buntin never knew his windows got the treatment. Didn’t think it could possibly happen, but I really did hear someone complain about having to much rain last week. There's one sure way to stop a red hot argumentdrop one cold fact on it. Before a man can wake up and find himself famous, he must wake and find himself. The person who claims to know all the answers has never been asked all the questions. Cars are wonderful machines. First they were responsible for the elimination of the horse, and now they’re working on people. IWHMMItfCK ™iyr •m "Gotng hunting with a youngar boy?

For nearly three hundred and fifty years the America^ people have been a blessed nation. As we again approach our season of gratitude and thanks giving, it is well to pause and think of all our bounty and at the same time to remember those within our midst whose burden has been heavier than ours and thus are in need of their fellow citizens. Thanksgiving Season is the only time of year the Crippled Children’s Hospital makes a general appeal for funds. This Hospital is a Virginia Hospital open to patients from all over the State. It is dependent upon contributions from friends throughout the State in order to keep its doors open. All services of the hospital are FREE to needy crippled children from Virginia. Available to all patients is orthopedic and plastic surgery, complete dental care, opthalmic and medical treatment and physical, speech and occupational therapy. From September 1962 to September 1963* children from 81 counties and 24 cities in Virginia spent a total of 30, 808 bed days at Crippled Children’s Hospital at a cost of $432,852.00, exclusive of any doctors' fees, since all physicians and surgeons give their services without charge. This month the Hospital is faced with the need to raise $145,000.00 to meet operating expenses. Donation Day is November 26. Crippled Children’s Hospital is not connected in any way with the Society for Crippled Children and Adults and does not benefit from the sale of Easter Seals. Birthday Cook-Out Mr. and Mrs. W. Arthur Miller entertained Sunday at their home Mt. Prospect with a surprise Cook-Out honoring Anne Charlotte Lindgren on her eighth birthday.

Research Given On Poultry Products The possibility of a future revolution in marketing is suggested by research in the radiation preservation of food, according to a progress report on the work furnished Congressman John O. Marsh, Jr., by Dr. R. G. H. Siu, Scientific Director of the research Division of the Army Materiel Command. Marsh, whose 7th District includes the important Shenandoah Valley poultry producing region, inquired about the research work at the request of the Virginia State Poultry Federation. In a letter accompanying samples of radiated chicken, turkey, halibut and beef, Dr. Siu noted: “These samples have been kept at room tempture for about four months. You will note their good condition. Although these particular samples happened to be cooked, they may also be preserved in the raw state. “Meat products can either be preserved in the raw state for shipment to parts of the world without refrigerated handling facilities or they can be introduced as a ‘brown and serve’ roast to be kept at room temperature in the interim^ In the latter regard, I am thinking about a turkey bought from the supermarket, kept on the pantry shelf, placed in the oven on Thanksgiving Day for 20 minutes for browning, and served. This is in the future of course. But I hope not too many years.” While the Army research being conducted at the United States Army Radiation Laboratory, Natick, Massachusetts, is directed primarily to subsistence needs of the armed forces, the radiation preservation techniques are expected eventually to have numerous commercial applications. With particular reference to poultry, Dr. Siu commented in his letter: “Chicken, fortunately, turned out to be one of our most promising products from the standpoint of radiation-preservation. We have tested radiation-sterilized chicken kept at room temperature for 10 months.

Dear Sarah, I’m so sorry I was not at home the other day when you came by to see me but when it dawned on me that it was exactly 6 weeks until Christmas Eve I dashed over to WEAVER’S in Front Royal to start my list. They have moved the Gift Department dcwn to the Main Floor now and it is much more convenient and the gorgeous brass fireplace equipment and accessories would gladden the heart of any housewife. If a certain Santa consults ycu about pleasing me you can just send him there. Maybe if he doesn’t go for the brass the colored glass will catch his eye. For the young lady who considers that Christmas isn’t Christmas without a sweater, I selected a luscious shade of apricot and had it gift wrapped, and now it’s all ready. That is one of the joys of shopping now while the stock is plentiful and there is ample time for leisurely looking around while the gift wrapping is so tastefully being applied. The Hat Department at WEAVER'S has been moved to the head of the stairs and I couldn't resist one of the fur hats for my great aunt who has everything but I'm sure she will adore it. The gift wrapping was nearly as pretty as the present. The party clothes for Christmas are out of this world, but I couldn’t decide whether to get a red or green dress for the holidays this year. When they tcld me that hoi day things were arriving every day, then 1 thought I would go back next week and make up my mind. I like to have pretty red warm things for everybody on Christmas morning so I went all out and bought red pajamas or sweat shirts for my household so we would be gay when we opened our packages. I even cheated and bought some red lingerie for myself. I finished up the afternoon by buying my Christmas Cards and they did have a wonderful selection. If I address a few each day I’ll finish my list before Thanksgiving. I saw a real clever young girl who was laying-a-way her presents, but I just paid for mine and laid them a-way in my ftttic. How about going CHRISTMAS SHOPPING at WEAVER’S with me next week when I plan to finish up. Sincerely, Jane Doe FRONT ROYAL

From The Home Agent*s By Harriet Goode Since time forced me to leave my “around the county” comments out of the column last week, I’ll devote the first part of my reflections this week to some of my observations “around the county”. Do you know how talented you really are? TJjis county is bursting at the seams with interesting, talented people who can teach you many things. Look at the artistic talent that was displayed in the dried flower arrangements at the recent show and sale. And you don’t need me to tell you what wonderful cooks there are in the county! I’m learning something new each day from you ladies about food preparation. And what about the various crafts? There seem to be many people who are interested and skilled in quilting, knitting, crotcheting, needlepoint, etching, textile painting, copper tooling, braiding rugs, hooking rugs, and restoring antiques. Not a week goes by that someone doesn’t ask for a program on one of these crafts. What we need to do is get the people who want to learn together with the people with the know how and let them share their talents. Now all we need to do is find a way to do it. J’ll think about this for awhile and maybe with your suggestions we could come up with some ideas. The two home demonstration clubs that have met thus far this month have also been bubbling over with ideas to share. The Amissville Club will hold a workshop this week to make Christmas decorations. They have some good ideas. The Sperryville Club received many delightful candy making ideas. Mrs. Charles t Glaenzer jras hosteai^ |or. th$ * meeting. She showed how to make fondant and gave recipes for several other delicious candies. • The Castleton and , Wood■ ville Clubs will meet this week with the Flint Hill Home Demonstration Club on Tuesday, the 19th at the home of Mrs.. Frank Cary. Homemaking Hints When planning furnishings in the home, let your imagination soar) advises Miss Katherine Habel, house furnishings specialist at Virginia PolyI technic Institute. | Imagination can make an ! ordinary room satisfying and pleasing to look at- and a delightful place to live! Color and fabric are two allies l'n this battle of the budcan afford to experiment- even be daring with color and fabric, for they can be replaced with a few dollars. Be bold with basic furniture purchases, but do not settle for uninteresting designs, even on a limited budget. Don’t be misled by so-called bargains. If buying at a sale, make sure it’s a true sale! When considering accessories, don’t forget that the little things always count. Select each one with care. One good item-be it a lamp, ashtray, or painting- is worth a dozen poorly designed ones. Magazines will give you many ideas on the use of accessories. Analyze them, clip and file those articles of interest. Many decorating aids are available for the asking which will stimulate your own ideas. Miss Habel says it is your home and it will be your clever ideas that will give it personality.

Toxic Seed Noted In Soybeans Crotalaria seed has been discovered by Virginia Department of Agriculture in*“ * shipment of Virginia soybeans. • In instances where the toxic is found, a shipment must be seized and re-cleaned before it can be delivered. This means extra expense*to the farmer or grain handler. Under federal and state pure food regulations, it is unlawful to sell or offer for sale as food for animal or human consumption beans or grain containing crotalaria seed. The toxic seed has virtually no tolerhnce. *1 The Virginia Department of Agriculture offers these suggestions: • «>?' ; If you have not harvested yet, take extra care to avoid mixing the crotalaria seed. Crotalaria plants can be recognized by their bright yellow blooms. The seed pods resemble huge garden pea pods and are usually easily seen. The kidney shaped seed ranges in color from a light green in the immature stage to dark brown or black at maturity. The seed is about a tenth the size of a kernel of corn. Before selling, it is important to find out if beans or grain are contaminated. They can be cleaned at considerably less expense before shipment. 42 Per Cent Increase In U.Va.

Weekly Farm Price Outlook (TM* U the wmy proepecte far Virginia farm price* looked to the Virginia Dept, of Agridutnre on Friday. The Department offer* it to fanner* with the warning that no one can predict prices and be rifiii all the time.) Hay Hay prices are expected to remain about the same as they have been for the past few weeks. Certainly don’t expect hay to get any cheaper. Supply of out-of-state hay available to Virginia continues to be adequate. Barring adverse weather, hay is expected to be in ample supply throughout the winter. Compared to previous year national averages, however, there is definitely not an over supply If you're operating on purchased hay, plan ahead and place your order as soon as possible. Because of the unusually heavy needs in Virginia for hay from out-ofstate sources, it will be well to anticipate a waiting period between placing your order and receiving it. Quality is still average and above—specify the quality an^l kind you want. Prices, delivered to Virginia for No. 2 leafy alfalfa are $50-$53; straight alfalfa and alfalfa mixes $45.50-$49.50; timothy clover mixed $45$48 and straw $30-$40, mostly $36-$40. The above are dealer cost prices taking into consideration freight rate reductions. Turkeys Because of seasonal demand for turkeys, present prices (listed below) are expected to improve between now and Thanksgiving. Prices should be firm also for the Christmas market. Virginia’s turkey market is making its adjustments now to Thanksgiving. The pre-Thanksgiving high in Virginia prices last year was 27d on hens and 230 on toms. Prices last year reached their peak during the week of November 28 with 28 1/20 on hens and 250 on toms. An analysis of available information at this time indicates the number of turkeys coming to market in the Nation should be down about 5 per cent during the remainder of this year. Last week in Virginia at farm prices were: fryer roasters 250, young hens 24 1/20 and young toms 220. In the Carollnas and Georgia delivered to plant prices were young hens 24 1/2-250 and young toms 22 1/2 - 230.' 1960 B U 1CK • 4-Dr. Sedan Low Mileage —— • C L 6 R E Pontiac Co. Culpeper, Va. County ASC— (Continued from page 1) mittee, led a discussion of duties and responsibilities of committeemen. W. T. Powers, State ASCS Executive Director, discussed background of ASCS farm programs which included the farm problems of soil and water conservation, farm prices, over production and underconsumption. Due to the regulation in effect for the first time which provides that anyone who has reached his 70th birthday is not eligible for re-election, a considerable number of committeemen with records of service ranging up to 30 years were not eligible to continue as committeemen. Therefore, with a larger percent than usual of committeemen with-\ out prior service, every effort is being expended to acquaint these officials with background information on the programs they are authorized to administer at the county level. There will be additional meetings dealing primarily with the specifics of each of the programs coming under their jurisdiction. The Harrisonburg meeting is one of five such meetings it which ASCS State office officials reviewed the duties and responsibilities that county committeemen assume in administering programs of the U. S. Department of Agriculttfffe. Following these meetings, county committeemen will conduct similar training and orientation session for community committeemen. Represented at Friday’s meeting were the counties of: Alleghany, Augusta, Bath, Clarke, Frederick, Green, Highland, M a d i,s o n, Page, Rappahannock, Rockbridge, Rockingham, Shenandoah, and Warren. Interest To Veterans The peak of the Veterans Administration program providing education and training assistance to war orphans is expected to be reached during the school year just beginning a long range VA survey shows. Those who are eligible are the children, generally aged 18 to 23, of veterans whose deaths resulted from injury or disease originally incurred or aggravated in line of duty while on active wartime service. The surviving parent may or may not have remarried and the child may be either married or pingle and still be eligible. The parent or guardian of the child must file an application with the v/\. ocnuuiiiig eiuier aimea toward a college degree or toward training the child for V a vocational goal may be proj vided for as long as 36 months 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 Cut your Winter Feed Costs by W. Rapley Owings The ^im of every commercial cow^alf man should be tti winter his beef cows at the least cost that will still enable him to raise healthy vigorouls calves. You can’t starve a dollar out of a cow - neither can you expect to show a profit by over feeding. Particularly this year! Before taking a sharpe look at cow rations, let’s take a quick look at other things that can affect the cost of the winter feed bill. Get rid of the lice before it turns cold. It costs enough to feed a cow without feeding the lice to boot. Spray with Co-Ral, or spray twice (14 days apart) with Methoxchlor, Malathion, or one of the other recommended sprays. DDT is against the law. Cull off the shy breeder, poor milker, and aged cows. Seriously consider having the veterinarian pregnancy test your herd. He can tell if a cow is safe with calf anytime after 60 days. Cost should run from $.50 to $1.00 per head for this service provided you have 30 or more cows and are set up to handle them efficiently. Worm all weaned calves. Make full use of straw, corn stubble, and honeysuckle. .Be on the lookout for vitamin A shortage. Balance poor quality rations wit a protein supplement. Makes feed go farther and makes for healthier animals. Keep a close eye on your animals and dole out feed according to their condition. The following rations are suggested as a guide. They will need to be adjusted to fit the conditions on your farm, such as, size of cows, condition going into winter, time of calving, quality of feed, and amount of gleanings. p.m. and will gladly give more details on this subject or any other matter connected with veteran's affairs.
