TA. STATE LIBRARY hicrmord TfA. VOLUME XVI — NUMBER 12. lQc Copy WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY, Absenteeism Costs Local School System Absenteeism in Washington Elementary School prior to the Christmas vacation cost the county school system $2,375. 40. Some of the poor attendance was due to illness but many of the absences were avoidable. Now that school attendance is no longer compulsory and we do not have a visiting teacher to check on the poor attendance it is up to the parents to see that no child is absent unnecessarily. For each child absent the county loses $1.48 per day, according to figures compiled for the 1962-63 school year. Before Christmas this year in the Washington Elementary School alone there were 1,605 total days of absence. School with good attendance get larger appropriations than schools with poor attendance even though the basic expenses remain the same. It only follows that the money . lost would be used for the improvement of School facilities. This is the mercenary angle to absenteeism but even more Important is the fact that a poor attender usually makes low grades while the regulars get the higher marks. Also, records are kept on each student during his-school career and poor attendance automatically casts an unfavorable shadow on an application for a Job. In addition to their regular work the teachers must spend precious time giving make-up work and doing extra report book work for each and every absence. While being absent once doesn't seem very important, the overall picture changes _Hodge Miller had a little difficulty on his first trip to the aid slopes. His Mother, Mrs. J. Newbill Miller, and su unidentified girl untangle hhn while JaaMs W. Fletcher and John R. DeBergh look on.

All ten locations schedule to be ODen from noon until 3 p. m. ran over the 3 p. m. closing time. It was pointed out that Dr. j.P. Snead, jr. and Dr. J. P. Snead IV, Rappahannock County physicians, are members of Culpeper county medical society and, participated in the program. They also encourage all Rappahannock County citizens to participate in the program. - The total number receiving the vaccine at Culpeper County High School was 2,600, and other locations reported as follows: ' Culpeper Baptist Church, 2,300; A. G. Richardson School, 1,100; Salem School 1000; Jeffer6onton Elementary School, 800; Mitchells School, 800; Lael Baptist Church,600; Brandy Fire Station, 900; New Canaan Baptist Church,300; Baptist Home, 300; Hospital patients, volunteer workers, etc., 100; Richardsville Community Center, 200. Mrs. Carolyn Graves, president of the Auxiliary to the Culpeper Memorial Hospital which has co-sponsored the "Sabin on Sunday* program, stated that although Sunday* 6 number being approximately 11,000, was gratifying, it is hoped that the two remaining clinics which are scheduled as follows, Vaccine Type II February 16, and Vaccine Type III, March 15, will come closer to achieving 100% immunization in the area. Dr. R.L.Cassidy, President of Culpeper County Medical Society, co-sponsors of the program, reminded everyone that Type II of the vaccine may be taken without first having received Type I. Dr. Gtaskly.. appealed to all the citizens of the area to take part in the two remaining clinics and a planned makeup clinic. Dr. Cassidy urges all who participated in Sunday's clinic to encourage the remaining percentage of citizens who did not participate, to participate in the remaining clinics and the make-up clinic so we can achieve 100% immunization and stamp out this dreaded disease. Coming Up: Forage & Grain Handling Clinic On Tuesday January 28, (10:00 a. m.-3:00 p, m. ) a Forage and Grain Handling Clinic will be held at the Parrish Hall of Trinity Episcopal Church at Washington. Discussions will cover handling these feeds from field to storage and from storage to livestock. Methods of handling, farm processing, and feeding for different types and sizes of farms will be covered with special emphasis on the economy and efficiency of systems. All farmers have a system of handling feeds; but what about the economy of the operation? Systems involve chore-saving equipment. All equipment costs. Prices aren't getting any cheaper. Prices of repairs, the price of labor, own. ershlp and operating costs. The trends of all are upward. What is the best system tor your farm? All farms are di& ferent. Chore-saving equipment is nice to have but what guide-lines are there whereby a farmer might justify purchasing a particular piece of equipment. Then too it is a simple matter to over Invest in machinery. Topics to be covered in the clinic by County Agents and Power Supply Engineer of this area include: "Handling Forage ( Hay and Silage ) From Field to Animal, * "Grain Storage Facilities and Moving Grain Into and Out of Storage, " "Systems of Grain Has. vesting and Drying, " "Farm Feed Processing and Mechani. cal Feeding Equipment". The final wrap-up will be a discussion; "Will It Pay?" All topics will be illustrated; slides; charts, etc. will be used, research data presented. Clinics will be held throughout the week; in Madison on Monday 27th, Orange-30th and in Culpeper tlje 31st. W. H. Lyne, County Agent John S.

During 1963 Virginia Had Worst Forest Fire Record In Past 11 Years i 44,744 acres of forest land were burned in Virginia last year in the worst year for forest fires since 1952. In 1952, the state lost 111,000 acres in forest fires. The 1963 total of 3,288 forest fires set a record high dating back for at least twenty-one years to 1942. 2,685'fires were reported that year, according to report by the Virginia District Forester. The area suffering the highest loss was the Northern Piedmont section of the state. In these 16 counties, located north of the Jame6 River and east of the Blue Ridge Mts., a total of 545 fires burned 9,529 acres. For this section of the state, this was the most acreage lost in fires dating back as far as 1946. The previous high was in 1952 when 4,670 acres burned. For Rappahannock County, nine forest fires burned a total of 51 acres of forest land. The greatest causes of forest fires was brush and trash burn ing and smoking. These causes account for about 60 percent of all fires. Other causes include railroads, campfires, children playing with matches plus numerous other things. Incediarism in 1963 was on the increase as about 10 percent of all fires were started intentionally. Normally incediarism accounts for about 5 per cent. In forest fire law enforcement, 46 cases involving violation of the brush burning law, which is in effect from March 1 to May 15, plus 9 cases Involving other fire laws were brought before the courts in the Northern Piedmont area In addition, 50 cases involving the escape of a fire were also brought to court.

SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Entered as 2nd Class Majl at the Post Office at Washington, Va. SUBSCRIPTION (in advance) 12.50 PER YEAR Letter To Editor Our county is lovely at all seasons, but the snowfall really enhances its beauty, for we cannot see the tin cans, paper boxes, bags, clothes, furniture, etc. that are dropped at random along the county roadsides. Where is the pride of the people of Rappahannock? Why is it we can get nothing done to correct this disgraceful condition? Sincerely, Frances Lyne Extra—Extra -by Ed While we shudder, shiver and shake and wade through drifts of snow we envy our friends fortunate enough to wing their way southward-. However, a note from Mr. -and Mrs. Ralph Styer who are spending some time in Florida makes our envy a lighter shade of green; "Seems it is always rainy, cold or windy. Of course, we do not shovel snow or wear snow tires. We are already looking forward to springtime and our return to Rappahannock." A Deer John Note: Paul Dicks is a hurried huntsman.all season he has been deer hunting... w he never the opportunity presented itself. He went once with Carson Johnson...but ‘ alas..no deer. Last Sunday Trooper Dicks. stopped at Carson’s Esso Service Station in Sperryville and as they stood there talking a deer came through the field, across the highway, through die station right by the gas pumps, investigating all the way. It ambled on over to the school yard, down the stream on the ice and disappeared in the distance. Bet he knew hurt*ing season closed three days before. An item in the Virginia Traffic Safety bulletin which we receive each month said a New York furvey showed drivers there who had taken driver education had a third less violations and were involved in a fifth fewer crashes than a comparable group without this training. I hope the person I followed through Char lottesville Monday in a driver trairv ing car is not a prime example of an instructor. As he went to park the vehicle, he ground and gnashed the geers and jumped and jer ke d into the space. Trooper Bunce Pierce was traveling through Maryland enroute to Virginia in his own automobile. His car broke down and he sought assistance at a private home where he was graciously received and aided. This was after he discovered that he had once issued a summons to the home owner. At each legislative session in the state, there is a move to raise the minimum driving age from 15 to at least 16. In 1962, only three drivers 15 and under were involved in fatal crashes. In 1961, there were four and in 1960 there were eight. f A college education seldom hurts a man if he’s willing to 16am a little something after he graduates.

Tribute To Miss Compton We, the Members of Women’s Missionary Society of the Washington Baptist Church wish to pay tribute to our beloved member a n d Treasurer Miss Margaret Compton. On December 15 she answered the Heavenly Father's call to her eternal home. 'Miss Margaret" as she was affectionately called by her many former pupils, was loved by all. She endeared herself in this community by her quiet, gentle, ladylike manner, her love and loyaflty of church, her devotion to friends and family. Her patience during illness. They are evidences of the Spirit of Christ in her beautiful, dedicated life. We desire a copy of this to be on our record, and to be published in the Religious Herald and one in our local newspaper. , Mrs. G. L. Updike President Rug Making School* Will Be Held Plans are now being made for rug making schools to be held for the ladles of Rappahannock County. If enough ladles are Interested, the E* tension Service will offer a one day school on braided rugs, and a one day school on hooked rugs. Miss Catherine Peery, Extension Rural Arts Specialist will come to teach the classes The only expense to the ladies will be their own supplies with which to work. The school will be held sometime during the last week of February, depending on the d a t e 8 Miss Peery can give us. The place will be decided upon late as we receive replies from interested persons. Any persons interested in either school are asked to contact, Harriet Goode, home demonstration agent, at the Court House. She will then send you the list of supplies to have on hand, along with further information regarding date and place. Home demonstration members need only to return the cards they received last weekix T. B. Association Reports On Smoking The report on smoking by the Surgeon General’s Committee is of great concern to the Tuberculosis and Health Association of Northern Virginia as it has been distributing information over the past several years, warning against heavy cigarette smoking habits. In leaflets distributed monthly, several have covered the subject of smoking habits and one stated "Studies show that cigarette smokers living in the purer air of rural towns have a lung-cancer death rate four and a half times that of nonsmokers who live in cities.* One leaflet brought out the fact that a pack-a-day smoker has “ten times the risk of dying of lung cancer, about twice the chance of dying of coronary heart disease, more than twice the probability of getting chronic bronchitis and three times the likelihood of developing emphysema.* At the next meeting of the Executive Committee of the local tuberculosis association when the program of work is planned for the coming fiscal year, educational campaigns on sjnoklng will be one of the items seriously considered. The President, Joe McDaniel of Stanley, Virginia, reported that as of Monday this week, the campaign for funds through Christmas Seal contributions is not up to last year, and that if more educational work is to be done not only among adults but with children, through assistance of the teachers, the need for funds is greater, rather than lessened. He urged that citizens help all they can with funds so that more can be done in each community. The Christmas Seal Campaign report is this year $32,913.71 and last year $36,221.71. Veterans News All veterans and all dependents of deceased veterans who are receiving pension benefits from the Veterans Adminlnstration are reminded that they have only two weeks to complete and return their annual Income questionnaire card. On January 14, 1964,the Roanoke Regional Office of the VA said that about 25% of the 36,000 cards originally sent out had not come back. Panther Tales By Linda Rowzie Exam Time! The student^ were granted a reprieve when it snowed a few days ago. Exams were supposed to have started on Saturday the 18. Thank goodness it snowed! Now they will start on Wednesday the 22 and end on the following Friday. The college Entrance Exam! nations’ scores were returned a few days ago to those Seniors who took them. The exams were taken early last December. The Basketball team and cheerleaders have really been traveling. Since January 7 we have played at Clark County, Central, Elkton and at Warren County. The Culpeper home game -wa^ missed because of illness of the coach. The games have been very excit ing, especially that spectacular flying tackle made by one of our players! The Yearbook Staff is working steadily on the layouts for our •Rappsody”. The Editor, Segar Jones, Assistant Editor Virginia Bradford, Business Manager, Dana Snead, Assist ant Business Manager, Susan Schaefer,, Chief Photographer Linda Rowzie’and our sponsor Mrs. Marshall all gather at her house and go to work on Saturday mornings. The work is coming along fine. Under VA regulations requiring pensioners to report their income each year, if the information is not received by Jan. 31, the VA is required to cut off the pension. In addition, it is possible that the entire pension received In 1963 may have to be paid back. Those pensioners who are In the group who have not .returned the income cards would do well to fill them out and return them without further delay. Once discontinued,' even though later reinstated, there is always interruption in the orderly flow of pension checks, sometimes occasion for real hardship. For experienced help take your questionnaire to any representative of the Virginia Division of War Veterans Claims. 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 to 4 p.m. and will gladly give more details on this subject or any other matter connected with veterans’ affairs. Annual Farm Reports Due By Jan. 31st Farmers in this area were reminded today that annual reports on the earnings of farm workers are due in the office of the District Director of Internal Revenue by January 31 1964. * Farm employers who fail to file a yearly report on the earn ings of farm workers and to pay the social security taxes due are subject to penalties and interest charges on unpaid social securityDistrict Manager and A. M. Stoepler, District Director of Internal Revenue at Richmond, Va„ noted that the earnings of most, but not all, farm workers are covered under social security. A farm employee, to be covered, must be paid at least $150 in cash wages by his employer, or w o r k for t h e employer on 20 or more days during the year for cash wages figured on a time basis (rather than on a piece-rate basis). For 1963 the social security tax rate is 3 5/8 percent each for employer and employee on cash wages up to $4800 in the year. The tax amount must be entered on Form 943 (Employer's Annual Tax Return for Agricultural Employees) together with the total amount of cash wages paid to qach farm worker. The completed form must be filed with the District Director erf Internal Revenue at Richmond, Va., on or before January 31,1964. Eastern Deer Kill To Exceed 26; A rough tabulation of reports received to date gives officials reason to believe that the Eastern Virginia deer kill exceeded 26,000 animals in the season just ended. This would be just short of last year’s record total of 28,960 taken in “East of the Blue Ridge’counties. So far 24,000 Eastern kill tags have been returned and an estimated 2,000 plus are expected to come in. Adding the Western kill of 11,250 animals would put this year’s total bag above 37,000 deer, not much below last year’s record state total of 38,883. The only consistent factor apparent in the Eastern tag returns was a generally lower take on the larger public hunting areas. HUNTING SEASONS WINDING UP With the passing of Jan. 15 most hunting ceased in the Old Dominion except for rabbit, quail and grouse hunting which will continue until January 31 in the Western part of the state and until February 15 in most Eastern counties. Also extending until the end of January or mid February are squirrel seasons in several counties, seasons on furbearers in most counties, and the season on turkeys (gobblers only) in Pittsylvania County. Hunters are urged to consult their S ummary of Virginia Game Laws for exact season closing dates on all species in the particular county or counties in which they intend to try a late season hunt. Quail hunters have lost quite a few potential hunting days because of recent snows, and will probably lose more before the season’s end February 15. Quail are the only game species which cannot be hunted in the snow since the Commission revised the snow hunt ing regulation in 1963. TRAPPING SEASON IN MID-STRIDE Trapping season in the Old Dominion which began Dec. 1 on most species is now in full swing. Aside from local exeptions on foxes and raccoons, and a January 31 closing date on rabbit trapping, the trapping seaBon will continue through March 10. About a thousand licensed trappers take part in Virginia’s annual fur harvest, plus the many who trap on their own lands without a HrpnRP Virginia’s 1962-63 fur harvest included 99,019 muskrat, 14,237 raccoon, 6,628 opossum. 3,922 skunk, 2,119 mink, 986 beaver and 105 weasel pelts according to the reports oltur dealers. Most of the muskrat and mink pelts were marketed in the Tidewater Section. Although Virginia’s trapping regulations are not too complicated, they are strickly en forced. A county or statewide trapping license is required except when the trapper confines his operations to lands he owns or rents. Traps set on the property of others must carry the name and address of the trapper, and all traps be tended once each day to re move the trapped animals. Squirrels and bears may not be trapped and rabbits may only be taken with box traps during the special season for this type of trapping. Prospect ive trappers are advised to con suit the Summary of Virginia Game I^aws for detailed information on trapping seasons and regulations. Weekly Farm Price Outlook (ThU ia the way proapccts for Virginia farm pricea looked to the' Virginia Dept, of Agricnltare on Friday. The Department offera It to farmera with the warning that no one can predict prices and ho right all the time.) As winter progresses, supplies of out-of-stste hay are expected to become a little tighter with a corresponding slight rise in prices. Shippers however, are expected to have adequate supplies. If you need hay, three train indications point up the advisability of ordering it now. 1. Pricewise you'll probably do better. 2. Weather conditions could hold you up from getting hay later when you need it. 3. There is the chance of ge* ting better quality hay now than later when supplies may be higher. The Virginia Crop Reporting Service reports 724,000 tons of hay on farms in the state— this is down 48 per cent from last year, 46 per cent below the five year average and the lowest on record for that date. Stocks on farms for the Nation totaled 82 million tons, within ■ . - , \ - Washington News ' Mrs. B. R. Armel Is spending some time at the home of her son-in-law and daughter, Sgt. and Mrs. George Terry in Hampton while Mrs. Terry is in the hospital. Mrs. Francis Tyner spent the week-end in Herndon with her sister, Mrs. Virgie McClanahan. Miss Harriet Goode spent the week-end with her parents Mr. and Mrs. Richard Goode in Winchester. Mrs. D. B. Smith of Fairfax has been the guest for several days of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Lee Smith at Spring House Farm. Miss Annie Cooksey was 3 per cent of a year earlier. Last week in Virginia, dealer prices for first cutting alfalfa ranged from $46.50-$50.50. Prices on second or later cuttings of alfalfa rangedfrom $52.00 - $56.00. Timothy prices ranged from $47.00 to $49.00. Timothy and clover mixed ranged from $44.00$48.00. These prices are quoted for No. 2 or better grades of hay. Slaughter Cattle Cattle Drices are showing some seasonal strength from the low point reached in midDecember. Some additional in creases may be expected, but prices will run below those of last year. Depending largo ly on weather conditions, week to week flucuation may occur. December slaughter of cattle in the United States was up about 12 per cent from the same month last year. Up until now, January slaughter is running about 10 per cent higher 'than the same time last year. In Virginia, slaughter for the first 11 months of 1963 was 9 per cent above the same months of 1962. National beef cold storage holdings, as of January 1, are 38 per cent above the holdings of the same time a year earliei; On January 1, there were 8,865,000 cattle and calves on feed in 28 major feeding states for slaughter market, 1 per cent fewer than a year earlier, according to the Crop Reporting Board. There were fewer cattle and calves on feed weighing under 900 pounds, but more on feed weighing over 900 pounds than January 1 last year. Nearly all the decrease in total numbers on feed from ayear earlier was accounted for in heifers and heifer calves. In Chicago last, week, choice grade steers brought $22.50$23.25. Good grade steers brought $20.00-$22.00. Choice grade heifers sold at $21.75$22.75, and good grade heifers brought $20.00-$$21.25. Because of adverse weather conditions throughout Virginia last week, few cattle were moved to market. Horse end Buggy Days Reported On Decrease It cannot be said that Virginia is still in the horse and buggy days. Even the state tax commissioner admits it is not. This note of progress came to light when state Sen. John Alexander of Warrenton prepared a bill to do away with the annual tax on livery stables which charge to take care of horses. But before he introduced it, he asked state Tax Commissioner C. H. Mofrisett whether it would do much damage to the state treasury. Morris8ett wrote back that he was not opposed to the bill. After all, he said, the annual levy--$2.SO per stable in rural areas and $5 per stable in cities—brought in only $387.50 in the 1962-63 fiscal year. And then he delivered what is probably the death knell for the tax; "It is a relic of other times," National Road Toil Hits New Heights Traffic fatalities for the first 11 months last year and for the month of November fetftabUshed new highs, the National Safety Council reports. The November total of 4,107 traffic deaths pushed the 11month total for 1963 to 39,280 up 6 per cent from the record 1962 figure. During the first 11 months of 1962, 37,120 persons died in traffic accidents. The November monthly increase was up 11 per cent over the 3,700 In November 1962.

From The Home Agent's By Harriet Goode (Note: Here is one in a series of releases on consumer education by Don Long of the agricultural economic department at Virginia Polytechnic Institute) Do it yourself! Are these familiar words to you? They’ve become almost a national slogan and pastime during the past few years. There are doit-yourself kits, do-it-your self publications, do-it-your self clubs. . almost anything you mention has a do-it-your self aspect. Part of the move to do-it-yourself seems to be related to the increase we’ve had in leisure time. Many of us say we wish we had some tree time so we could just do nothing. Many of us think noth ing is just what we would do if we had some free time. Things usually don’t work out that way Give most of us somefree time and what do we do? We start looking for something to do .. preferably something that makes or saves us money. Many look for a job to bring in money but many, many of us look at do-it-yourself pro. jects—both as a way to keep busy and as a way to save money. Economics, of course, also is a strong force back of doit-yourself. Often, we go into a store, we check with a serviceman, we read or hear ad. vertisements. Prices seem so high. We often think, "Why not do it myself--start from scratch and save ?* It is not a bad philosophy, provided we use it well. Most do-it yourself projects use time and effort we would get no pay for otherwise. So, if we can do the job and do it well, we’re saving ( so making money ) even though the return or wages Mrs. Brue Wood gives Mrs. Barbara Gentry a gift from her teller’s window in the new bank building during Monday’s open house. we make per hour may be low. Do-it-yourself, used well, is a terrific boon to the household budget. : Yet, there may be pitfalls to do-it-yourself. Before you .start, you may want to ask yourself some basic questions: “Do I have the training or skill necessary to do the job?” “Do I need the job done .before my limited time and .skill will let me finish it?” "Is is a job for which I want a professional look or touch, for appearance, safety, or satisfaction?” Could I spend my time more profitable on some other project, .do-it-yourself or otherwise?” Will I enjoy doing it?” If the answers to most or all of these questions indicate that a do-it-yourself project is feasible, you probably have a budget winner. If the answers are negative, (Scest funeral parlors H. C. GEEST, Director 405 Sperryville Road Culpeper, Virginia Wm. R. itradley CHrfttd^ier Geest AMBULANCE WITH OXYGEN .

When you buy butter are you always satisfied with its flavor? There is one way to make sure you’ll get good flavor, aroma, and texture every time you buy butter. Look for the package with the U. S. D. A. grade shield on it. The double A means the butter has a highly pleasing aroma and a delicate, sweet flavor. It has a smooth creamy texture that spreads well. And it’s made from high quality fresh sweet cream. Grade A butter is almost as good as the double A grade and is good on vegetables and for cooking. u tne tops are attached to the beets you buy. . . and are still tender,.. cook them. They are rich in vitamin A. When is the “large economy size package of food not economical? If the food is one which you use only occasionally, the large package takes shelf space which might more profitably be used to store a good buy of food which is used regularly. Sometime, too, a per-ounce cost check shows that the so called economy packages are not really cheaper. Storage also may result in quality loss, and your shelves may be crammed so full that you lose sight of the package. So in some cases the regular or small size way be the economy package.

The batter has delicate corn flavor and crunch built right into it because it’s prepared with self-rising corn meal. w Self-rising com meal adds extra nourishment as well as flavor to your meals, thanks to added B-jvitamihs, iron and calcium. Use both self-rising com meal and flour in all your cooking and baking, being sure the sack or container states "enriched”, to get all those important nutrients at no extra cost. Seasonings in the com meal batter give your chicken dinner a flavor boost. Use this batter idea for other foods — vegetables, fish, chops and others.

Library Lines From the beginning of the written word, men of great foresight and genius have put down their observations and conclusions to guide others coming after them. They realized that without these guides each generation would have to go through all the research again to arrive at the same conclusions. Today, Mankind, thanks to the advent of printing, has vast libraries containing the most profound thoughts, the greatest discoveries, and the best plans of man set forth for the use of Man. Some of these books are adjudged as containing lasting contributions to the quest for Truth, and are known to have made profound Impact on the direction men and nations have taken and are taking. These are the books which enrich each generation and they present an ever-present mirror in which we can check our thinking against the thinking of other times. These we call The Great Books. Among them are the works of the thinkers of Greece and Romq of France and England, and of the East and the West. They are so many and complex that a man could not read all of them In a lifetime, let alone understand all he read. Back in 1947 In Chicago, a Great Books Program developed out of employees’ discussion groups led by Charles F. Strubbe, Jr. and otherq growing from a membership of 250 to nearly a quarter million with headquarters listed In most of our major cities. A Great Books Foundation has been established and provides guidance in reading and discussions to any group of 15 or more who will meet together twice a month to study and discuss given lists of books. There are usually two leaders who ask questions designed to stimulate thought and discussion. Theytakedlfferent views, hoping to bring out all sides and help each one find his own conclusions. To know and to think clearly are more important alms of the Foundation than merely read and discuss for pleasure. As Mr. Strubbe once said "The Great Books groups are Democracy in action." Here they study for objective truth freed from all the shackles of Ignorance and preju FORD TRACTORS AND EQUIPMENT Also USED Tncton ib4 equip, reconditioned end priced to BROWNING TRACTOR CO.

Through the program men and women learn to become thinking people, people who are able to drive to a sound decision on the major problems of the day. 'The Truth will make you free** but it will take much reading from the great books to know that truth. these groups of 15 to 30 meet over the country In schools, churches, homes, libraries or anywhere convenient. They may choose their leaders or rotate, but they hold to a plan and meet regularly. Can such a group be formed in Rappahannock? Are there 15 people who would like to join in reading and talking about some of the great literature of all time? There are no dues, no hard and fast rules, just a friendly agreement to read and talk at given times about given books. Many of these are already in our library. If you think such a group could be formed to join the Great Books Foundation, the Library Board will help get underway. All you need to do is to express your wishes to any of the staff, or write Library, Box 55, Washington, Virginia.

Semester Exams Postpone Criser-Douglas Game The Criser Lancers will journey to Winchester Friday, January 31, 1964, instead of the previously announced date of Wednesday, Jan. 22, 1964. This change was due to midterm examinations that will begin Wednesday at Criser High School.. The Lancers will, however, travel to Harrisonburg Friday night January 24, to play an all Important conference tilt against Lucy Simms High School of Harrisonburg. Lancer JV*s Roll On Sporting a four game win streak, Criser’s baby Lancers are off to their first winning season in the History of the School. Sparked by Kenneth King, Herbert Washington, and Burrell Brooks the local lads uj?set highly favored Douglas of Winchester in their last encounter by a score of 41-26k The only, set back the Baby Lancers have suffered was in their opening game at Culpeper when they went down by a score of 33-35. This defeat was avenged back in December when Crlser walloped Carver's Jay Vees in a return match by a score of 51-26. Wayne Brooks has Joined the J. V.’s and is expected to see plenty of action as a disappointing season and their hopes for a choice bracket in tournament pairings are growing dim. However, the Varsity's conference record stands at two wins against two losses. The Lancers are playing with, out the services of several lettermen from last year’s squad who are sidelined because of academic deficiencies. Many of the ones who are in starting positions are not playing up to their capabilities. There is, however, an air of optimism around town. Lancer players will improve and develop into a first rate unit before tournament time rolls around in March. Criser Girls Seek 1st Basketball Win Coach Ellen Harper’s Varsity girls are eagerly looking for their first win after three disappointing encounters. The Lancerettes have played two very close contests having lost by only one or two points. Many of last year’s stand outs are no longer with the team. The local lassies have a rough task remaining before them as they will be defending their 1963 District Crown in the district tourney the first weekend in March. They also won district honors in 1962. Thursday, Jan. 23rd, At 3:00 and 7:30 P.M. “Condemned of Alton*” FRI.-SAT., JAN. 24-25 2 BIG HITS!
