Clark of Woodville Va. was elected president of the Northern Virginia Fox Hunters Association for 1964 at the re-organizational meeting held in Culpeper December 11th. Mr. Clark succeeds past president Robert C. Apperson of Culpeper. Other officers elected include: Mrs. Wilma Jean Hitt, Secy-Treas.; Vice Presidents from each of the five counties embracing the organizational area were: Culpeper, Kenneth Weakley; Fauquiei, Sam Hall; Madison, N. E. Lohr; Orange L. F. Brooking and Rappahannock, W. H. Lyne. Between now and January 17th, the tentative date setfor the next meeting, members on the county levels are to meet to elect new directors in completing re-organizations. At these meetings two directors Pretty aa a Christmas Card — A mass of cold air moved down from the north and sent temperatures dipping into the uingle figure bracket. The Thornton River in Sperryville, which has been frozen solid, thawed somewhat Tuesday and babbled merrily on its way. ft * ' ~r will be elected from each of the five counties named above. Last year the organization had 2-3 members and sponsored several memorable activities in the interest of the sport and fellowship of its members. In addition to meetings rotated between counties at which planned programs and refreshments were enjoyed, other activities included two membership hunts; a day hunt at Hazel-land Farm with Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Ireland as hosts and a night hunt in September with Messrs. Apperson and Compton as hosts. Also the Northern Virginia and Culpeper Chamber of Commerce co-sponsored the annual Bench Show and Field Trials of the Virginia Fox Hunters Association. Hounds and mounts were quartered at Culpeper Farm Enterprises, Inc. through the gracious cooperation of this organization. The Northern Virginia Asso, assumed the responsibility of getting up the catalogues for the Trials and Bench Show. Immediate plans for 1964 call for a membership hunt to be held at Hazel-land Farm and a competitive hunt with 10 hounds eligible from each of the five counties. The latter, a suggestion by Orange County members, indicates these hunters feel they can trim hounds from the other counties. No doubt this will create good competitive sport. Details are to be completed at the January meeting. Clifton Clark, Woodville, President of the Northern Virginia Fox Hunters Association stated recently one of the primary concerns of this organization is *good public relations* especially with landowners of this area. while the membership is conscious of its responsibility individually and collectively, in regards to property of others, Clark requests owners observing any damage, or defacing, of their property, real or personal by fox hunters, to report promptly either to him or to one o{ the vicepresidents whichever is the most convenient. Vice-presidents and their addresses are as follows: Kenneth Weakley, Culpeper; Sam Hall, Warrenton; L. F. Broking, Montpelier Station; JN. E. Lohr, Madison; and W.]H. Lyne, Washington. 1 Local Lions Host To District Meeting Rappahannock Lions Club was host Wednesday evening to clubs of District 24-A at a dinner meeting which launched a fund campaign for the Old Dominion Eye Bank.

The Vienna Banjo Boys entertained wltn music and a film was shown concerning the eye bank A homemade cake was sold at a Chinese auction., bringing $3 0.15 and Rappahannock apples and cider were sold to raise funds. The film showed the wonderful work being done with cornea transplants on blind patients and the experiments being carried on with artificial eye tissue. People may donate their eyes to the eye bank while they are living and at their death their eyes will be given to the bank and transplanted to a blind patient, that that blind person may see again. After much research and experimentation, cornea transplants are very successful. NOTICE The combined Willis Chapel and Flint Hill M.Y.F.

RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS" PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia TELEPHONE: WASHINGTON 675-3349 MRS. SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Entered as 2nd Class Mail at the Post Office at Washington, Va. SUBSCRIPTION (in advance) . *2.50 PER YEAR Farmers Are Well “Employed” A Labor Department analysis of U. S. unemployment by occupation caught our eve in the news the other day. Where is least unemployment found these days, would you say? That’s right, farmers and farm managers have the lowest unemployment rate of any group in the study. Their jobless rate is only .005 per cent, whereas the over-all rate for the population as a whole is around 5.3 per cent. After farmers in the low-jobless category come other managers, 1.6 per cent unemployed; professional and technical workers, 1.8 per cent; public administrators, 2.2 per cent; and craftsmen and foremen, 2.8 per cent. Teenagers as a group lead the unemployed with 13.8 per cent out of work, followed by younger women, 9.6 per cent; non-whites, 9.2 per cent; non-farm laborers, 9 per cent; and bachelors (of all things), 8.8 per cent But farmers? Nearly 100 per cent employed, thank you! And, considering the backlog of jobs they have to do and the limited time and number of hands available, many farmers we know might logically be classified as 200 per cent or more employed. Now if farmers could just figure out some way to make all this work pay off, they’d really have it made. Work? Plenty of it. Take home pay? Folks in town probably wouldn’t believe it if they were told. (Reprinted from Drovers Jour.) Governor Tours Computor Installation At Division of Motor Vehicles Hdq. Governor Albertis S. Harrison, Jr., on December 4, evidenced his interest in automation as an aid to administra^ tive efficiency by inspecting the newly installed data processing equipment at the Division’s offices in Richmond. Governor Harrison was presented with the first driver’s license card produced under the new system by Commissioner Lamb, who explained that his agency on Decemoer 16, 1963, would inaugurate the program looking towards the issuance of operator’s and chauffeur’s licenses and the eventual maintenance of drivers’ records by the electronic data processing procedures. The Commissioner pointed out that a period of approximately three years would be required to completely con tttay the blessings of the night when Christ was born enkindle in your heart a happiness that shines ever brighter throughout all the days to come.

Drivers whose permits expire on January 31, 1964, upon receiving notice of expiration of license, will receive a punch card application rather than the familiar paper application heretofore used. All of the branches and agencies of the Division of Motor Vehicles will maintain a supply of the new type of application forms which will be made readily available to the public. A representative of the company furnishing the new equipment stressed that the driving public could greatly aid the motor vehicle agency by presenting their applications for driving licenses legibly filled out and without being folded, torn, or otherwise mutilated.

Christmas Rose Famed in Legend Blooming in the heart of winter and somethin es even in the snow, the Christmas rose •• a plant famed in legend. According to an old story, a poor little shepherdess had no Rift to offer the Christ Child, and so she wept. When her tears touched the ground, flowers .sprouted. Delighted, she plucked an armful and hastened to the , Infant. The caress of His fingers turned the petals pink. Botanists class the-Christmas rose as a member of the buttercup family. Native to Southern Europe and western Asia, it has leathery, dark, green leaves and large, saucershaped flowers with white or rose-tinged sepals, according to The Encyclopedia Americana. "■ WISHING ALL THE JOYS OF THE SEASON TO OUR MANY FRIENDS. H. & P. APPLIANCES Culpeper, Va. OUR WARMEST OLD - FASHIONED MERRY CHRISTMAS WISHES TO ALL! DICK C. WEAVER & SON CULPEPER, VIRGINIA Rapp-Chats f By W. H. Lyne Thirteen Rappahannock sheep flocks were inspected last week in helping to maintain Virginia's status as a Scabies Free Area. No symptons were found. Flocks inspected included |those of Douglas Laing, W. G. Eastham Jt Ih Lathcm, J. F. Massie, Florence Settle, Harry Settle, D. D. Miller & Son, Dr. E. M. Eastham, P. A. Hughes F. McCleary, John Tapp. Other flocks included on the list to be checked which had been sold during the year were those of W. A. Miller and B. F. Updike. Ewes throughout were in good order and have started lambing. A majority of your county agent's time is still being spent computing emergency drought rations with farmers based on present values and forage analysis. Reports were received during the week on six hay samples; three submitted by W. L. Payne of Amissvllle and a like number by William A. Carrigan, who recently purchased Horse Shoe Farm from Harvey Janney. Since silos will be opened most any day, silage samples can be expected. Since the drought made it more difficult to judge the proper maturity of corn to be ensiled, we anticipate some fancy odors about the court house when samples start com ing in. Chief observation during the week regarding livestock feeds: mixtures of concentrates are being ground much too fine especially for cattle and sheep. As examples: shelled corn need not be ground at all for sheep or calves; for steers and beef cows, for optinum digestibility grains of corn should be cracked into 3-4 pieces. Of course this is about impossible as in operating a hammer mill at the slowest operating speed and using a 3/4* screen you will still get some dust. For older cattle make it a rule to grind whole grains as coarsely as you possibly can. You sheepmen who have been selling those $14-$ 15 dollar 70 pound lambs get on the ball. Do better or quit. Shoot for at least 1 1/4 Jambs per ewe, raised to a Market Wefgh? VVo^lW ■pounds. It's no> hjjfd^^^ou’jli 'do your part at the right time. Any farmer who is not making money out of his sheep had better take a long look at his management practices. Remember I’m always glad to help you to help yourself. Come by and lets see if we, in talking it over, can’t uncover the problem. Marketing $14.00 lambs is thesymptons, not the problems. Interest arouser of the week. Herbert Barksdale brought in a fungus for identification and control recommendations, Dr. Gruenhagen, Pathologist project leader at Virginia Tech was consulted. The queer looking object Herbert had brought in proved to be a fruiting body of a subterranean fungus (Poria Cocos) which, according to Gruenhagen, “has a certain amount of historical background." “The common name Tuckahoe is of Algonquin origin. The Indians colleted this fungus and cooked it for food. TOM FROST Warrenton, Va. It has also been called Indian bread or loaf,* i You farmer^ with heifers 4-8 months old get going. We have only a couple more weeks to reach that goal of 100% being vaccinated against Brucellosis this year. When Dr. Graves took care of the Npvember vaccination program there were several who weren’t ready, another had some calves up but no one was around. The November Livestock Health Bulletin shows Norfolk to be still ahead of us (83.9% as compared to our 74.5%). Being in second place isn’t good enough for Rappahannock. Be the best! Besides it doesn’t make sense to protect 7 heifers and let the other 3 go unprotected. You wouldn’t do this on your own place. What’s the difference though whether the separating fence be between heifers on the same farm or seperate farm8. You can't fence germs with American or barbed wire! The best possible barrier against this disease is vaccination. Also Brucellos vaccination is the best plug to stop farm dollars leaking away in so far as results of this disease are concerned. Interest To Veterans Many veterans now in VA hospitals will spend Christmas with their families. It is the policy of VA hospital officials where it is medically possible to give patients leave for the holidays. However, there will still be hundreds in our VA hospitals unable to leave.The hospital staff, the VA volunteer Workers and veteran organizations will go all out to help lighten the burden of loneliness with Christmas parties, entertainment and bedside visits. But to the hospitalized veteran nothing is like seeing or hearing from someone he knows. The best gift of all is a personal visit. If it is not possible to make the trip the next best remembrance is a letter or a Christmas card with some news of home. If you are thinking of a suitable gift, candy and foodstuffs are not recommended because many patients are on diets. To make sure that the patient gets little things that he really needs Canteen Coupon Books are the best bet. The patient can use the book to purchase a ■wtctefcjMasteeysrjnf arti«ies at reasonable prices at t fib hos"ddfiWgti store. V^u can send the money, $.50 to $5.00 to the hospital director, giving the name of the patient. The director will acknowledge your gift and will see that the patient knows you are thinking of him. 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 matter connected with veterans's affairs. i ®ag*e Awards in Scouting were recently presented Frank Moffett, Washington, and Chuckie Collins, Luray. at Andrews Atr Force Base hy Brigadier General Isabell. Final Plans Announced For Aged Medical Assistance Program The State Department of Wei fare and Institutions announced this week final plans for the medical assistance for the aged program. Beginning January 1, the program will be available to help cover costs of medical care and treatment of an estimated 80,000eligible Virginians who are 65 years of age or over. The Virginia General Assembly at its 1962 Session enacted legislation to provide medical assistance to low-income persons who generally have sufficient income to meet their needs except for medical care essential to their wellbeing. These persons are not public assistance recipients but are persons who are unable to finance large or unexpected medical expenses. In this program, assistance will be paid on behalf of recipients to suppliers of certain medical care or treatment This assistance will be financed by 65 per cent Federal |2 per cent State, and 13 per £ent local funds. It is expected that a total of $1,136,300 will six months of operation of tnis program. Of this total; $250 thousand will be in State funds $738,000 in Federal funds, and $147,700 in local funds. At its next session beginning in January, the General Assembly will be requested to allocate funds for the next biennium beginning July 1, 1964. State officials estimate that a total of $7,839,000 combined State, Federal and local funds will be needed for this period. Last week the State Department of Welfare and Institutions scheduled a series of regional meetings for discussion of the policies and procedures As the Star shone on the Babe of Bethlehem, so may the peace and promise of His wondrous message shine brightly on you and yours, this Christmastide, bringing happiness in abundance. W LEWIS PHARMACY DIAL VA 5-8322 CULPEPER, VA. I established by the State Board for the operation of the program. The program as adopted by the State Board’ is based on the £err-Mills Bill, passed by the U. S. Congress in 1960. The Kerr-Mills Bill permits each state voluntarily to incorporate the plan and to adapt it to the state’s own needs as long as it follows “certain basic federal requirements." The State Board of Welfare and Institutions was authorized by the General Assembly to adopt such rules and regulations as may be necessary to make the plan workable in Virginia. The Department has spent months id working out the program wiith aid and advice from the medical and pharmaceutical professions. The Department now feels that it has a plan that meets the basic federal requirements and is wider in scope than that being offered by some other states. The program is to be in effect in all political subdivisions of the State and is to be administered by local boards of public welfare in;atcQb4^hce withf^olicies of the State Board. A spokesman for the State Department said recently, “Through this program we will be dealing with a group of people who are not eligible for the usual public assistance programs or who do not choose to receive welfare aid. They do need financial aid, however, when faced with large medical expenses. This aid will prevent some cases from eventually having to rely on old age assistance.' ( continued next week) Soc. Security Notes How to persuade hundreds of Americans to assert their social security rights? Mrs. Hazel F. Daly, Manager of the Winchester, Virginia Social Security Office, pondered that question today. The problem seems to be primarily with persons age 62 or older who, because they are still working or for other reasons, have not filed their claim for social security benefits. “Some of these people are losing hundreds of dollars in benefit payments," stated Mrs. Daly. “They don’t realize that as a result of recent changes in the law an individual can earn considerably over $1200.00 and still receive some of his social security benefits. “Even if an older person is earning so much that no benefits are now payable, he should go ahead and file his claim. Then if he later stops -work or begins earning less, his check could be started without delay. Regardless of how much he is earning, an individual cani receive his benefit for all! months after reaching age 72." Mrs. Daly urged all persons age 62 or older, who have not yet filed a claim, to inquire at the Winchester, Va. Social Security Office. “Social security benefits are not taxable," she added. ACP Practices Aid Forestry Program Virginia landowners can get help with two forestry practices through the Agricultural Conservation Program for 1964, says A. B. Lyon, of the forestry and wildlife department at Virginia Polytechnic Institute. Each county ACP committee authorizes conservation measures beneficial to the overall farm enterprise and to the county. Cost-share rates for each approved practice may be obtained from local ACP office managers. Approved forestry practices include forest establishment and forest improv ement. In the past 10 years, over 9,000 Virginia farmers have taken part in the forest establishment practice. About 1,362 have received help for performing operations under the forest improvement practice. For more information, Lyon suggests farmers contact their local ACP office manager or their county agent.

Recent Drought Reveals Benefits Of Recommended ACP Practices Farmers and city people alike are becoming more aware of the benefits resulting from water-conserving practices encouraged by the Agricultural Conservation Program, H. S, Barksdale, Chairman, Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation County Committee, declared recently. Widespread drought in this part of the country this fall has shown very clearly that conservation farming pays many kinds of dividends, he said, in available — even though reduced -- water supplies for household use, industrial purposes, and recreation, as well as for crops, livestock, and wildlife. "ACP makes it possible for farmers and Government to cooperate in conserving national resources," the Chairman pointed out. "By sharing the cost of needed conservation practices, the program!

The development of springs and seeps, and the construction of farm ponds — for improved grassland management water conservation, and erosion control; establishing enduring vegetative cover, for erosion control, watershed protection, or land-use adjustment; constructing terrace systems, to control erosion and conserve water; establishing a stand of trees or shrubs on farmland topre-j vent wind or water erosion;' reorganizing irrigation sys-| terns to control erosion and conserve water; subsoiling to improve water penetration and retard runoff; constructing fireguards as a protection against one of drought's worst hazards. A very important benefit from these practices is that they cause much more rain and snow water to soak into the soil, raise and stabilize water tables, and provide a more even flow of water into our larger streams $nd reservoirs. Thus, less water rushes downhill and downstream as floods, and more is slowed down or held back in Nature’s reservoir, the earth itself.

Best Wishes For The Holiday! McDaniel’s Jewelers Front Royal, Va. . Author* -Artcarved L— » — »uiwjuvaa f.uT Pagan Feasts A|*e Source Of Customs Most of the customs now associated with Christmas were originally pagan or non-Christian, according to The Encyclopedia Americaha. Saturnalia, a Roman feast celebrated in mid-December, provided the model for many of the merrymaking customs of Christmas. From this celebration, for example, were derived the elaborate feasting, -the giving of gifts and the burning of candles. Lights also played an important part in most whiter solstice festivals. An obscure figure in the early mythologies of the East emerged as a sun god. From the 1st century B.C. this figure, Mithras, was adopted by an Increasing number of Roman soldiers and others. Mithras’ greatest festival was that of the winter solstice, the time when the god began to return to his worshippers. In the 5th century the Western church ordered a feast celebrating the birth of the Savior to be observed on the day of the Mithraic rites of the birth of the sun and at the close of the Saturnalia. Among the German and Celtic tribes the winter solstice was considered an important point of the year and to commemorate the return of the sun they held their chief festival of Yule, which, like other pagan celebrations, became adapted to Christmas. The Teutonic Yule feast also provided customs for the Christmas festivities, such as the Yule log and wassail bowl. When Organ Broke - “Silent Nignt” was first sung at Christmas 1818. The church organ in an Austrian village had broken down — impaired by mice, so the story goes. Father Joseph Mohr wrote the poem and his organist, Franz Gruber, composed the music. The congregation, which had been saddened because there would be no music for Christmas, sang “Silent Night” to a guitar accompaniment. IN GERMANY For German children the Christmas season begins with the hanging of a calendar showing a painted house, on December 1. Doors and windows of the house often hide pieces of candy.

Since that holy night a multitude of legends and customs, both religious and secular, have developed as part of the holiday. Each legend was once told, each custom once observed for the first time, and though origins of many traditions are now lost in time, other Christmas “firsts” have been recorded for posterity. There are historical Christmas“firsts,”attested by church records and by scientific ■ research into the early years of Christianity, as well as “firsts” of later history and “firsts’’ that blend fact with myth.

Since the New Testament was written as religious instruction rather than history, the exact dace oi (jurist's birth is noi known. The present day was selected as a means of unifying the observances of Christmas, “the mass of Christ.” , Hanging Stockings Story of the first Cnristmas stocking is associated with the real St. Nicholas, a fourth century bishop known for his many kind deeds. Wishing to present an anonymous gift to help the daughters of an impoverished merchant, he threw a bag of gold down the chimney, where it fell into a stocking hung up to dry. The legend is reflected in today's custom oi tucking "gold" — an orange or tangerine — into the toe of a Christmas stocking. Trimming Trees Trimmed Christmas trees first appeared in the United oiates probably during the American Kevoiution. Hessian soldiers with the British forces started the practice to relieve their nostalgia for their homeland. An early diary, written at Fort Dearborn, 111., in 1804 relates the practice of trimming the Christmas tree with ornaments of the time. Al the While House First National Community Christmas Tree in the U.S. was placed on the White House “O Christmas Tree” Means Fir to Most -1 Traditional for trimming, the flr is the tree most people think of when they sing “O fchristmas tree, O Christmas tree, how lovely are thy branches.” Although there are close to 40 species of firs found in Central and Southern Europe, Asia north of the Himalayas, and North America, the holiday favorite — the Douglas flr — is not even a true flr. Originally named false hemlock with yew-like needles, the Douglas flr is neither a yew, hemlock, spruce nor flr. But it does have some of the characteristics of all four evergreens, and its identity confused botanists for years. The Douglas fir’s graceful, upturned growth and ability to hold its needles when cut have put it in the top spot for Christmas use. It also produces top-quality lumber. The state of Montana is an important source of Douglas firs. Next popular Christmas tree 4? tljp, fi?., Also called,,, Canada balsam or Balm of Gilead, according to The Encyclopedia Americana, balsam grows from Newfoundland to Virginia, west to Iowa and north and west deep into Canada. Balsam retains needles well and give off a pleasing fragrance. It is especially wellliked in the Eastern United States. Included among the many other Christmas choices are the Eastern red cedar, black spruce and Scotch pine. Canadian Christmas trees, from seven provinces, are part of the holiday scene in many countries. The United States, alone, accounts for about 90 per cent of Canada's annual production of trees. Still others are shipped abroad, from Ethiopia to Venezuela.

Rov _ i Skin Diseases In Cattle When cattle are brought in from pasture and crowded together in smaller spaces for the winter, two skin diseases often appear, says Dr. S. L. Kalison, veterinarian at Virginia Polytechnic Institute. These diseases are warts and ringworm. Warts are caused by a virus and may be found on cattle of any age, but most often they attack young animals. Warts spread by direct contact and the smaller the quarters, the more chance the animals will contact each other. Warts are economically important because they damage cattle hides. They also make animals extremely uncomfortable, especially when the growtltor»^jppw|fr»—3, ym large. Iri some c&ses warts have grown nearly as large as a basketball. Large warts are bumped frequently and often bleed. They also attract flies and may become riddled with maggots or screwworms. Warts sometimes eventually disappear. In stubborn cases, however, veterinarians can administer a vaccine which may clear up warts more quickly. dThe chief use for the vaccine, though, is to prevent exposed animals from develop, ing warts. Ringworm is caused by a fungus that may live for quite awhile in dark dirty buildings. Water is classed as the most valuable product American people ^realize from their National park8--even more valuable than grazing, timber wildlife or recreation. Like the wart virus, the ringworm fungus is usually spread by contact between animals. Ringworm lesions are typical, but the only sure way to diagnose the condition is to have a veterinarian make a microscopic examination of skin scrapings. Ringworm may resemble mange. Mange, however, usually appears in an irregular _ f Bells, y Bells, Bells1 Through the ages, bells have served many purposes — announcing the approach of vehicles, for instance, or sig> nuling the beginning of with churches, by medieval times the pealing of the bells had come to signify the rejoicing of the Christmas season. An eariy custom was the tolling of church bells on Christmas Eve. during the hour before midnight. The tolling announced the death of Satan, and at midnight joyous peals told of the birth of Christ. In England, where bell-ringing is an honored. family-taught art, the tuneful bells ring out at seven-thirty on Christmas morning. It takes years of training and practice to learn the ringing of complex “changes," as the different chants and tonal combinations are called. Bulova the gift-quaHty watch!

VIRGINIA area along the sides and lower I part of the animal's body. Ring, worm most often appears as a round spot, usually around the animal's eyes and ears. While ringworm is caused by a fungus, mange is caused by a mite too small to be seen except with the aid of a microscope. Human cases of ringworm can frequently be traced to animals, .says Kalison. The most common sources of ringworm infection of humans, however, are dogs, cats, and other pets. Ringworm in cattle is rather hard to get rid of, says the veterinarian. Several applications of specific medicines may be needed. A good start in treatment can be made with soap, water,-and iodine. The infected area should be well scrubbed with soap and water, then allowed to dry. After that, iodine should be applied to the ringworm, but it must not get into th§ ani- r mal’s eyes. ' Animals with ringworm should be removed from the " herd, and if possible the unaffected animals should be kept out of contaminated sheds. Then the quarters should be scrubbed and disinfected in an attempt to eliminate the organisms. Calves should be watched closely for the first signs of ringworm. % ■ ■ NEW TYPING CONCEPT FOR HOME AND OFFICE 2 •MiTM-eo»M* THE EXCITING NEW VALUE IN TYPEWRITERS MtOAO SMOULDERED FOR HEAVY DUTY Th« Classic 12 carriage is 2 full writing inches longer then carriages on ordinary portables.

Tips For A Safe Yuletide The Virginia Safety Association, in cooperation with the Auto Industries Highway Safety Committee, offer you, our area motorists, six tips for Yuletide Safety and Safe Holiday Driving: 1.

Seconds will buckle a belt; a flick of the wrist-will release it. Use them whenever and wherever you drive or ride. 4. Be Alert to Hazards. Adjust your driving to road, traffic and weather conditions. Give yourself and others an extra margin of safety. 5. Use Courtesy Abundantly. Everywhere...at intersections while passing or being passed, at night when your headlights are on high beam... “Make courtesy Your Code Of The Road,* it pays. 6. Follow the Rules of the Road. Signs, signals and road markings are your guides to a safe, enjoyable drive around town or on a trip. Hunting Safety. We give you below the *'len commandments of Hunting Safety.* 1.

Always be sure that the barrel and action are clear of obstructions. 4. Always carry your gun so that you can control the direction of the muzzle, even if you stumble. 5. Be sure of your target before you pull the .trigger. 6. Never point a gun at anything you do not want to shoot. 7. Never leave your gun unattended unless you unload it first. 8. Never climb a tree or a fence with a loaded gun. 9. Never shoot atva flat hard surface or the surface of water. 10. Do not mix gunpowder and alcohol. Happy Hunting! MISTLETOE, KISSES GO TOGETHER Why, at Chrlstmastide, do those who stand under a little sprig of greenery expect to be ki6sed handily? The question can be answered accurate ly only with many pages of words tracing the origin of the pleasant custom. Ancient Druids believed that die plant had been brought from the heavens by a missel thrush. The seeds of the plant were carried in the toe of the bird; hence, the name mistletoe. Romans used mistletoe as a symbol of hope and peace. When enemies met under its boughs, they put aside their arms, kissed each other and held off battle—until the next day. Earlier peoples believed that only happiness could exist under tlje mistletoe. Therefore, they sealed pledges of friendship under it with kisses. Because of the pagan origins if the legends surrounding :ne mistletoe, the use of the plant In the home was for-' bidden in England. Yet at York Minster, there was an exception to the rule. A large sprig of mistletoe was laid on the altar at Christmas. This small gesture, it is believed, was made to refer to God’s healing power, as symbolized by the plant’s supposed medicinal qualities. / Gradually the hanging of mistletoe became an accepted custom. The sprigs were always hung high because of an old belief that the plant must never touch the ground. A girl kissed under mistletoe was considered lucky; a girl who was not was destined dmt funeral parlors H. C. GEEST, Director 405 Sperryville Road Culpeper, Virginia Wm. R.

From their tailpipes and crankcases these modern fnonsterlk spew forth a steady stream orpollutants,” say 2 top officers of the Public Health Service, based oh a report submitted to the U. S. Congress in June 1962. High on the list of these poisonous gases is carbon monoxide, wn i c h cannot be seen or smelled. It can strike without warning and take its toll without its victims’ being aware of its presence. The immediate hazards of carbon monoxide poisoning are usually located right at home. And autos are not the only offenders. Any gas-powered engine allowed to run in a closed gVage, a furnace with insufficient draft, a leaking gas stove or pipe are all common causes of carbon monoxide poisoning. Even in amounts as little as l/50th of the normal oxygen content of the air, carbon monoxide can be fatal withih an hour. Children and anerrtic persons are particularly susceptible. wun winter approacning.tne number of carbon monoxide poisonings will increase. To help prevent such an accident in your family, check your furnace and gas stove, and never run the engine of your can or other gas-powered engine in a closed garage without an adequate air outlet — no matter how cold it is outside. Should such an accident o.ccur, remove the victim from the poisonous area, call a doctor' immediately, keep the victim warm and apply artificial respiration if necessary until help arrives.

College Scholarships ^ By Potomac Edison The Potomac Edison Sytem in Hagerstown today released details of a college scholarship program that was announced earlier this month in area secondary schools. Three winners, according to the utility company, .will be selected from ..throughout the PE system, which Includes the Potomac Edison Company in Maryland, South Penn Power Company in Pennsylvania, Potomac Light and Power Company in West Virginia and Northern Virginia Po\»rer Company in Virginia. A. McDaniel, District Manager of Northern Virginia Power in Luray, said two of the scholarships will be given each year to students whose parents of quardians have been customers of the utility company for at least a year. One scholarship, he continued,will be given annually tp a student whose parent or quardian is a permanent employee of PE. The district manager explained that the scholarship program is permanent with three neto students eligible for financial aid each year. Students who are awarded PE scholarships will receive the funds for up to four years, he added, if their financial needs continue and they maintain proper scholastic and personal standards. Any secondary schopl senior can apply for the scholarships he said. Students can compete for the funds only once. Competition a mong those who will start college next fall is already underway, the district manager continued. It is not necessary, he pointed out, for applicants to have been accepted by an institution of higher learning before they apply for the scholarship aid. A three-man committee of professional educators headed by Robert Strider, Director of Financial Aid at Johns Hopkins University, will evaluate applicants’ scores on the Scholastic Aptitude Tests, which all are required to take. School records, personal financial information and any other confidential information will be reviewed only by members of the committee. winners of the schofaf shfpe for the 1964-65 school year will .be announced early next -May. They may attend any accredited college, junior college or community college approved by the Scholarship Committee. They may get up to $500 annually for tuition, room and hoard or other charges billed to the student. Scholarship money will be sent directly to the college. Winners of PE scholarships may hold other scholarships, grants or loans. Continuation of PE funds will depend on fin a n c 1 a 1 need and college records. Western Deer Kill On Rise This season’s deer kill West of the Blue Ridge took a jump to 11,250 animals much to the delight of Virginia Sportsmen. The Increase of \$ver 1,000 was a welcome sign after the 7 year low of 10,134 taken in this section last year. Aneven more significant sign was an apparent general increase in weight and .condition of the animals indicating that, after several year of overpopulation, the herd may be reaching an equilibrium with available food. Most of the 30 counties show ed significant gains and in none of the seven counties where the kill dropped did the decrease amount to more than 50 animals. Most of the important deer hunting counties in the group showed increases of 10% to 20%. Even Shenandoah County which experienced a 50% drop last year had an increase of over 6%. Bath County led the western group with 1,349 deer followed closely by Augusta with 1,243 and Rockingham with 1,203. Game biologists interpret this year's deer kill data as evidence that the either sex shooting of the past several years has finally whittled the herd to the proper size and is paying off in healthier deer and better annual fawn production. Deer range in most western counties has been rapidly growing into mature timber during recent years leaving less food eabh year for the big deer herds found in that area. The examination of deer at checking stations during the past 5 years has shown a shortage of fawns and evidence of poor general nutrition. Hunting fatalities in the Old Dominion have already .exfceedytf ^last year’s total of five with several weeks of hunting season yet to go. The total> of 26 hunting accidents Keep the Holidays Safe KBC Unit,9 Name Top Airmen ilMUi CWI Engfawmlag S* A2C William A. Moon Jr. has been selected as Airman of the Month for October by the Tachikawa-based 6100th Civil Engineering Squadron. A native of Flint Hill, Vs., Airman Moore was selected on the basis of his superior duty performance, personal conduct, efforts toward self improvement, general military knowledge and personal appearance before the squadron airman of the month selection board. The fire protection specialist is assigned to the Tachikawa AB fire department. He has been in the Air Force for two years. is about on a par with last year at this time, but the percentage of fatalities is up, according to James N. Kerrick Game Commission Safety Officer. Four of the 6 fatalities were caused by rifles, one by bow and arrow, and one by a shotgun. Three of those who fired the fatal shots were hunting deer and the other three while hunting rabbits, crows and woodchuck respectively. As usual, deer hunting has been responsible for the highest number of accidents. The 26 mishaps to date are broken down by type of hunting as follows: Deer 10, woodchuck 5, rabbit and squirrel 3, dove 1, duck 1, crow 1 and hawk 1. Careless gun handling and victims mistaken for game were the primary accident chuaed*--1' !*--«• In one interesting case, the victim saw a Game Warden coming and threw his gun over a bank. The gun landed butt first and discharged, wounding him in the leg and arm. THE RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS v Sarah . .
