Mrs. Johnston Brings first Old Picture Mrs. T.Morgan Johnston answered the request of the Rappahannock News for pictures of yesteryear by lending this picture postcard of Gay Street that shows her home, and the residence of Mr and Mrs. Charles Jenkins and Mr. and Mrs. George H. Davis, jr. as they looked about the turn of the century. At that time the Johnstons home was recently built by Judge and Mrs. Hugh Dudley and the Davises home was occupied by Dr. and Mrs. E. W. Brown. Mrs. Dudley and Mrs. Brown were sisters and their homes were similar. The Jenkins home was owned by the James L. Powers family and he is remembered as the master build er of the county public buildings. His daughter, Miss Annie as one of the outstanding teachers of her day. Hie finishing touches are being applied to the new building in Flint Hill which is the future home of the Flint Hill branch of Citizens National Bank of Front RoyaL Present plans are to move into the hew building on January 18 and hold open house on the 21st. __■ i i Home Dem. Clubs Scheduled To Meet The Sperryville Home Demonstration Club will meet tonight, Thursday, January 9th at the home of Mrs. T. C. Lea, Jr. in Washington at 8:00 p.m. Mrs. Paul Nichols will be in charge of the program on the subject “Do Ahead" meals. The Castleton Club will hold a covered dish luncheon meeting on Tuesday, January 14 at 1:00 p.m. in the Fire Hall. The program will be centered on “Do Ahead" meals pr .a main dish that can be frozen. Mach member 14 requested to bring a covered dish featuring this method. Plans will be made at this meeting for the February and March meetings at which times the programs will be on Basic Sewing Techniques and Knitting. - Join your neighbors for a meeting of instruction and fellowship. ^ Points to note in the picture are the dirt road, the lack of pebble dash on the Jenkinshouse (circa late twenties), the low bank in front of the Davis house, the presence of a sidewalk and a palling fence. The horse tied in front of Dr. Brown’s was his means of conveyance and Mr. B. R. Cox uses a pony for this purpose when he visits his daughter so it isn’t out of keeping today. The present large trees and shrubs are either non existent in the picture or so small they are hard to identify. It would be most interesting to see what that section of 4 Gay Street would look like in say the next fifty or sixty years. There should be postcards around of other views of the Town of Washington at the same time and we would be most happy to use them.

FIGHT BIRTH DEFECTS! FIGHT ARTHRITIS! These militant themes for the 1964 March of Dimes are basic statements of what the work of the National Foundation is all about. They echo an earlier battle cry—Fight Polio! - which led to victory over a killer and cripplerthat threatened us all before the Salk and Sabin vaccines were developed with March of Dimes funds. Fight Birth Defects! Fight Arthritis! With these calls to arms, the National Foundation-March of Dimes now mounts a greater assault on conditions that cripple more Americans each year than polio did in its^worst epidemic decade! HOW DOES THE MARCH OF DIMES FIGHT BIRTH DEFECTS AND ARTHRITIS? A. With Medical Care, through a nationwide network of center s for study and treatment of birth defects and arthritis. B. With Scientific Research to determine the underlying causes and ultimately to perfect means of preventing crippling birth defects and arthritis. C. With Public and Professional Education to increase awareness of the magnitude of the problems of birth defects and arthritis - and how the National Foundation is meeting these problem*. WHAT ABOUT POLIO? March of Dimes aid to polie Six Traffic Fatalities In County in ’63 Rappahannock County closed the year 1963* with six traffic fatalities occurring on the highways here. This is double that of the previous year. Traffic accidents in this county for the year total 107. Five of the fatalities happened at night and one in the daytime; 58 of the accidents occurred at night and 49 in the day. There was personal injury in 20 of the day wrecks as compared to 17 at night, and in 28 accidents in the daytime there was property damage with property damage in 36 of the night cases. A single car collision occurred near Washington Sunday night. Mrs. Downing Wood of Washington skidded on wet pavement and struck a bridge abutment. She was not injured but her daughter, Mary Miller Wood, Jr. sustained a lacerated face, multiple contusions and a shoulder injury. She was taken to Culpeper Memorial Hospital by Rappahannock Rescue Squad and remained a patient overnight. Mrs. Wood was driving a Falcon. victims ig still a prime responsibility. Despite polio’s headlong rush to oblivion, thanks to the Salk and Sabin vaccines which the American people literally bought and paid for through the March of Dimes, there are still many partially or completely paralyzed victims who need help and further rehabilitation. The March of Dimes is our battle against disease - our partnership with science-our help for a neighbor in pain - our comfort to parents in despair. Shall we not in this county ‘give till it hurts" in order to alleviate another’s greater pain?

2 THE RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS, Washington, Va. Thursday, January 9, 1964 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 Care and Common Sense Can Reduce Injuries Incurred While Skiing Skiing is rapidly becoming one of America’s most popular winter sports. In northern climes skiing always has drawn its quota of fans. In -recent years interest has spread over virtually the’ entire nation. There are ski clubs in cities Jn east Texas, The members Ihmually make a pilgrimage or two to the ski runs of the Rocky Mountains by chartered plane. With the widespread increase in skiing there has come a consequent increase in ski injuries. Exact figures on skiers injuffed e'ach day are hard to come by, but studies at individual resorts have shown that about three of each 1,000 skiers on the slopes each day likely will get hurt. On days when skiing conditions are poor the ratio sometimes mounts to as high as 13 injuries for each .1,000 participants. Medical men wno nave studied ski injuries report that most accidents involve beginners who attempt ski runs that are too daring for their ability. Loss of control, which usually means going too fast to be able to stop in an emergency, is the single leading cause of accidents. Loss of control stems from poor physical condition 1 n g, lack of experience, faulty technique, fatigue and excessive speed. Most accidents occur at noon and late in the afternoon, at the end of long periods of activity. The better run ski resorts keep up a constant campaign for prevention of in Juries. The instructors and the ski patrol remind participants of the eiqmentals jbMl and urie avoidance* df rSugui. Trails must be well marked and slopes closed when conditions become dangerous?5* The individual skier can help to prevent injury to himself by being physically fit, having good equipment and learning how to ski under control. Preseason exercises to strengthen legs, particularly knees and ankles, are important. Good equipment includes release bindings, goggles and safety straps on skis. Most important is to remember that an early sign of fatigue is loss of control. Learn to ski under the guidance of a good instructor. Individuals are strongly advised to learn about the safety precautions of the resort before taking the lift up for their first run. Information on condition of the slope and danger areaB is readily available. Skiing is an excellent sport and is encouraged as a part of the nation’s physical fitness program. Most ski injuries could be avoided. ACP Wildlife Corner. Widely Used Farmers who ha've been considering shifting some of their acreage — or just some odd corners of their farmland — to wildlife conservation and protection soon will be able to examine projects already in operation which are not too far away from home, according toH.

The Chairman explained that the 1962 ACP was the first for which practices primarily for wildlife conservation could be authorized. The sevr eral kinds of these practices reported for 1962 were carried out,on about 2,500 farms and involved about 12,000 acres. Some of the program accomplishments Included close to 2.000 acres devoted to permanent cover and more than 8.000 acxes^Jn annual cover for wildlife, feed or habitat}, trees or shrub^ for suc^ feed 9* shallow water acreas established on 538 acres and almost ,2.7 million square feet of level ditching constructed for wildlife habitat; 1,119 ponds constructed for wildlife. Con. struction of farm ponds for wildlife was by far the most widely used of the practices, being carried out on 941 farms in 271 counties (in 30 States) and accounting for 76 percent of the ACP cost-share payments for wildlife conservation. Many other ACP practices also have important — though not primary — benefits for wildlife. Mr. Barksdale said that Interest in ACP wildlife —conservation practices is grownlng all the time. Under the 1963 program, all 50 States offer ACP ,cost-sharing for practices primarily for wildlife conservation as well as many other practices which provide wildlife benefits. Most of these practices also enhance outdoor recreation. The Chairman suggests that farmers who are interested get in touch with the ASCS county office about the location of ACP wildlife conservation projects in this area, and the kinds that are available in the county for ACP assistance.

Mr. and Mrs. Inter-connection of Potomac Edison And PEPCO Electrical energy began flowing Dec. 27 through a 230,000volt transmission line linking the Potomac Madison System and the generating plant of the Potomac Electric Power Company at Dickerson, Md. Northern Virginia Power is a member company of the PE system. work on the million-dollar project began last spring. The line has the highest energy-carrying capacity in the PE system, which serves the electrical power needs of 176,000 customers in an 8,000 square-mile-area covering part of Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and Pennsylvania. The interconnection is the first between PE and PEPCO. A. McDaniel, District Manager of Northern Virginia Power in Luray, said the line will enable both companies to take advantage of seasonal load demands and will increase reserve capabilities of both.

A new peak demand was established in the PE area December 19. The district manager also emphasized that the interconnection will help PE “hold the line" on electric rates.. Steel towers carry the line eight miles from PE’s halfmillion-dollar substation at Doubs, Md., to the Dickerson generating plant. They are the first stefel towers used for a major transmission project in the PE system. Most of the line has been constructed for double circuit. Initially, however, only one 230,000-volt circuit is being uacu, An existing 138,000-volt line from Millville, W. Va., to Frederick, was connected with the new Doubs substation. The link with PEPCO, the district manager said, provides another interconnection between the Allegheny Power System companies and utility systems in the east. PE is a subsidiary of APS. Nearly half the North American cont inent was tied together laist yi&r through a iseriea of interconnections. Seven of these were built by APS companies—three by PE and four by West Penn Power Company. All of these interconnections, McDaniel commented, enable electric utility companies to benefit from economies gained by generating electrical energy close to the source of coal or other fuel. They also enable the utilities to use excess power not needed in other areas, he added. Mrs. Thomas Massie Heads Heart Fund Mrs. Thomas B.

Prepared by American Foundation for Animal Health Farmers need to stay alert for tell-tale warning symptoms in their cattle if the “$10 disease” is to be kept under control. This disease, ketosis, gets its $10 label because annually it causes losses in excess of $10 million in the 1 million cows it affects. It strikes ms, too, and causes additional losses there. Ketosis is generally regarded as a man-made disease because it appears to have developed as a result of breeding for more and more milk production. The result is often disastrous, for animals frequently succumb to ketosis because of the extreme demands of high lactation. Symptoms of ketosis include reduced milk production, reduced appetite, a blank and staring look, an odor like banana oil on the breath, depression, or sometimes extreme nervousness. Generally, it occurs one to six weeks after calving. It rarely is seen in firstcalf heifers. Striving for higher and higher milk production may lead to losses from ketosis. One of the big dangers is that an untrained person could mistake these symptoms for such diseases as milk fever, grass tetany, rabies, listeriosis or perhaps leptospirosis. Therefore, accurate diagnosis is very important, and this should be done by a veterinarian. Although prevention has not been uniformly successful, some success has been reported with a a few groans were overheard when home work was assigned, however several enthusiastic remarks also noted. __ Enrollees include*.

In ewes, ketosis occurs a few days to a few weeks prior to lambing and thus has become known as pregnancy disease. q Affected ewes may stand listlessly by themselves or trail the flock. Later they may be unable to stand, and may develop a slight nervous twitching about the head. Exercise and good-rations during gestation will do much to prevent pregnancy disease. In dealing with ketosis of either cows or ewes, it is a good idea to do everything possible to prevent the disease. It may develop in spite of this and when it does calling a veterinarian promptly for diagnosis and treatment will do much to keep losses down and shorten the recovery period.

« THE RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS, Washington, V«. j Tlmraday, Jwmry 9, 1964 $w. Library Lines ■ Books must have authors and Authors must Have subject materials. Put these together in numbers and the result is a library. Let us look at subject materials. say rural life, no, let us look at some ’of the authors who interpreted rural life. These indeed are many for they date back to the time of written history, and the greatest writers of all time have used the country as material for their writings. The poet as well as the proser frequently struck immortal lines on life in pastoral settings.Do you know these authors and their great works on rural experience? 5 Among the poets we must mention Robert Frost first who used farm life as a source for his most penetratlngWorks, Have you read his "Death of the Hired Man"? Robert Frost had deep feeling and understanding of man in the country. He is - worth studying. Of course there is the great Mark Twain, Hamlin Garland with his "Middle Boarder* aeries, and his "Main-Travelled Road" scored a mark on rural life interpretation. Then there is Wills Cather who wrote so much beautiful prose on the women and the country. "The ■Song of the Lark", "O Pioneersf "Shadows on the Rock", and "My Antonia* are only a few of her inspiring works. Another fine work on women and the farm was "Barren Ground" written by Ellen Glas1 gow who should have special meaning for Virginians. This ;; book would bear reading now when so many of us are trying .to rebuild rundown farms. There are m any things of common interest in her story of Dorinda Oakley's farm problems and ours. Since World war I a verify table army of authors on rural t life have .given America a :• wealth of lasting and ever lnt spiring works. Do you know I 1 fine ones. Herbert Quick, the ‘ Iowa farm writers Sinclair Lewis; John Steinbeck; Edna Ferber and many, many others have caught the story and sounded the depths of American life, in the country. They found something real and true in the philosophy of the man and woman of the soil. It is to «them, authors will continue to go for materials tomake their immortal prose and poetry for in them is basic American life and thought. Who called it "Grass Roots*? When we read the fiction and nonfiction on rural life we are reading about ourselves - in a sense these works are our biographies who knows that tomorrow our children will be the material for the new generation of authors. It will be so. What will it be like? Each generation writes its own history, whether it be biography, fiction, poetry or in any other form it is our own. To read our literature is then to look in a mirror. The truth about ourselves can be found in our own writings. It ife interesting that we have the literature of past generations by which to make comparison, and thereby see how we are doing in our own time. A number of the above authors mentioned are in our library, and several not listed of equal value and should be read. TV is todays greatest enemy to good reading habits but a good and fascinating book can provide a wealth of information and pleasure no TV could ever provide. Let us show the library staff that we are not letting TV take over. Books can be borrowed on Wednesdays pm and Saturday mornings. There will be a general meeting of the library board Friday 7:30 p.m. January 10th at the library. This will be an open meeting, anyone interested will be welcomed.

That fall the figure was 8.81, a slight increase. But the spring bunch in 1968 made a pound of gain from only 2.95 pounds of feed. The, ewes in this experiment lambed in January in 1962, and 203 days later in August they had another crop. In March 1968, or 205 days later, they, lambed again and are in the midst of it again now. Litton says uIt is a physical impossibility to get two lamb crops in 12 months. Ten months of the time they’re pregnant, and the other two months are not enough to lamb, get them rebred, and for other things that must be done. "But anyway, this weaning early, feeding lambs out on slats, rebreeding the ewes, and getting away from ewes running empty half the time, surely makee 1964 one of the moet interesting times to be in the sheep business. Prospects are for successfully crowding 150 ewes onto 60 acres or leas. "Why, with feed conversions as low as these, there’s plenty of room to compete with pigs and since chickens are chief competitors, who knows but that we may Cud Of Thanks I should like to thank my many, many friends for their thoughts and sympathy for me In the great loss of my wife, 1 sincerely appreciate their heartfelt sympathy.

Dept To Request New Bills The Virginia Department of Agriculture’s Division of Regulatory Services will request enactment of two new bills and revision, of another during the coming session of the General Assembly, v One of the new bills, the Hazardous Substances Labeling Act, would provide authorl ty to require cautionary labelings of hazardous substances designed for household use. This labeling law is similar to a Federal law which exempts drugs, cosmetics and properly registered economic poisons. Such items.are included in existing Virginia laws. The proposed Virginia law does not exempt foods,thereby differing from the Federal Act which does exempt them. Hazardous substances covered by the law, if in containers for household use, would be classified as toxic, corrosive* irritant, strong sensitizers, flammable, or pressure generating. The other new proposed bill is the Pesticide Applicator’s Act. It would protect the environmental health of Virginia citizens by preventing indiscriminate use of pesticides by custom applicators, offer protection from fraudulent operators,- require pest control operators to have knowledge of pests, chemicals, hazards and application methods,and would require that operators be financially responsible for any damages. The new law would provide for advisory committees, inspection and rules and penalties for convicted violators. The Department proposes to update the Tree and Crop Pest Law and change its name to the Plant Pest Act. The law would remove the old require produce a pound of lamb cheaper than chicken someday, especially since we use roughage and chick* ens don’t" ttEAD THE WANT ADS Students in Rappahannock get back into the swing of things after an extended Christmas holiday.

It would authorize the Board of Agriculture to take immediate action in an emergency, and provides for more equitable registration fees. Unintentional Shot No, 1 Accident Cause Each year slightly more than half or the nation’s hunting casualties .occur while the shooter did not intend to discharge his firearm.. The National Rifle Association reports that unintentional discharge covers such circumstances as: the shooter stumbled and fell; the trigger caught bn brush or some other object; the shooter inadvertent ly pulled the trigger while seeking game; the shooter was removing a firearm from, or placing it in, a vehicle; the shooter was crossing a fence with a loaded Weapon. The common element in many of these and other 'unin tentlonal discharge' cases is that the shooter’s firearm was loaded when it should not have been. > CLORE FUNERAL HOME “The Home of Thoughtful Service” Culpeper, Va.

From The Home Agent*s Pen By Harriet Goode During the first month of the New Year, homemakers can look forward to a varied supply of good foods. Leading the U. S. Department of Agriculture’s Plentiful Foods List for January are two versatile and basic vegetables, canned corn andfresh potatoes. Also on the list are apples, pecans, peanuts and peanut products, beef and pork. Canned corn is in record supply, and it’s a perfect vegeJanuary meals. Con-r to store and use, canned corn suggests hot chowders to greet people coming in from the cold, corn fritters f6r wintery meals, scalloped corn and corn pudding. . . to name a few. Potatoes, another welcome item on January menus, will be available for every purpose. . baking, frying, boiling, and incorporating in casseroles and other dishes. Try them in potato - onion soup, potato pancakes, beef potato stew, or baked with sour cream topping or in a souffle. Happily, the meat-and-potatoes men can look forward to plenty of both these foods next month. There’ll be about 15% more beef going to market at the end of this year than last, and very large supplies of pork. In addition to the popular T-bone steaks, rib roasts and hamburger, homemakers will want to take advantage of some of the other beef cuts by serving swiss steak made from round, and pot roasts from the blade shoulder or arm roast. The 1963 apple crop continues to grow larger with each new report. So here’s a suggestion for a crisp winter salad. . combine mayonnaise (mixed with a little cream), apples and pecans (another plentiful food that is now at an all time production record). Or eat apples and pecans as they are, out-of-hand, as snack items. As for peanuts and peanut products, there's never any problem about what to do with them. As long as the kids like sandwiches and their parents like snacks, peanuts are bound to be popular. January is a good month for peanuts, because they and their products are abundant. Household Hint* Remove crayon or pencil marks on enameled surface with a few drops of detergent on a soft cloth. All pie crusts shrink some. But if yours show signs off’ excessive shrinkage, food specialists with the U. S. department of Agriculture day it might be because you’ve handled the dough too much or rolled it unevenly. Store left over egg whites, in a tightly covered jar or dish in the refrigerator, and use within a week to 10 days, Place leftover yolks in a dish or cup, add just enough coi$ water to cover, and refrige^ rate. They should be used within two or three days. j. A tight-fitting lid is the keiyj to tonserving food nutrients during cooking.

Since then I have done little more dreaming and talking with some of our people. Wouldn’t it be nice if we had a cozy little room somewhere where those persons working on craft could come to work and help their neighbors learn the craft too. Maybe if some' space like this was available those persons who could teach knitting, quilting, crewel embroideryi-inig making and so forth would share their talents.

Pfcom 347-1400 Changes Listed for ’64 Grain Program Participation in the feed grain program will be necessary again in 1964 in order to be eligible for price support on 1964-crop corn, grain sorghum, and barley, H.S. Barksdale, Chairman, Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation County Committee, reminds farmers. Minimum acreage diversion under the program will be 20 percent of a farm’s total feed grain base (for the three grains). Producer signup will start February 10, 1964. The Chairman explained that the program for the three grains will be similar to the 1963 program except for these slight modifications: (1) The top limit on diversion is increased from -40 to 50 percent or 25 acres, whichever is greater; (2) In computing diversion and price-support payments, the average yield figures will be based on the 4-year (195962) average instead of the 2year (1959-60) average; (3) The feed grain base of any producer who planted up to 30 acres of wheat for home use under the feed grain exemption during any one of the years 1959, 1960, and 1961 will be increased to the extent •the 3-year average of such wheat acreage exceeded 15 acres; (4) While the total price supports for the three grains in 1964 are unchanged from 1963 levels, a slightly larger proportion of the supports will be available as loans or purchases, with corresponding decreases in price-support payments; (5) Payments to any producer are limited to not more than 20 percent of the fair market value of any acreage involved; and (6) The maximum payment rate will apply to all the acreage diverted where the total diversion on the farm is 40 percent or more of the base.

Mrs. Mary Fitzhugh Fight BIRTH I DEFECTS THROUGH THE MARCH OF DIMES! Interest To Veterans On December 9, 1963, President Johnson ordered the Veterans Administration to make stepped up payment of the $234 million GI insurance di' lded for 1964 to stimulate the nation's economy. The VA has already started the process of preparing payments to nearly 5,000,000 eligible veterans who will participate in the 1964 dividend. $15 million will go to holders of WWI policies and the balance will be paid 4.500,000 holders of WWil insurance (NSLI). These payments are autoin atic and require no application or correspondence from veterans. The VA plans to complete payment by next January 25, about one week ahead of last year's processing time. The dividends are a return to the policyholders of part of" their premium payments because the death rate among GI policyholders continues to be lower than the rates upon which the insurance premiums were •originally established.

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 4:00p.m. and will gladly give more details on tjjis subject or any other matter connected with veteran’s affairs. 10th Anniversary EVERY ITEM ON SALE —at SMITH’S BETTER M^STS WEAR FRONT ROYAL, VIRGINIA / • Colored News’ Mrs. Fannie Jackson spent the Christmas Holiday in Washington, D.-C. visiting her daughter Mrs. Carolyn Harrison and family and son Willie L.
