View Disputed Boundary Commissioners on the bound ary line committee of Rappahannock, Culpeper and Madison counties met Tuesday to study the disputed area and make a tour of the sections in question. From Rappahannock were Gen. Daniel Noce and D. D. Miller, recently appointed to the seat of the late Elmo Flynt, Third mem ber of the committee, C. E, Johnson, Jr. was unable to attend. After viewing the boundary accompanied by R. M. Bartenstein who surveyed the line, the commissioners scheduled a meeting to be held next Tuesday at 7:30 in the Culpeper National Bank.

Rappahannock County Commonwealth’s Attorney George H. Davis, Jr. filed a suit against Culpeper and Madison Counties after a com* prehensive study revealed that land had been swapped back and forth between counties for many years for tax purposes. According to the survey made by the Bartenstein firm, Rappahannock stands to gain from 6 to 10 acres of land. A final decision will be made by the circuit court.

In the Woodville and Sperryville areas, unofficial reports ranged from 4 to 6 inches of precipitation. Parched hay fields, corn fields and lawns have begun to look alive again, and the fruit crop will benefit tremendously. Late gardens and forage crops will mature if a reasonably good season follows.

Chester Gap Firemen Gross Over $4,100 On Annual Carnival It has been two weeks since the Chester Gap carnival was held, but the effects of four hectic nights, plus an untold number of busy days before hand, are still being felt by members of the fire company and community, said Bradley Williams, president ofthefire company there. However, the organization reported the gross proceeds of the carnival were $4,100 and they considered the event most successful. After weeks of hard labor, preparation, meetings, trips and errands, Wednesday night July 1 finally arrived with stands all in place and the aroma of hamburgers drifting from the food booth...the show was on. Thursday night a brilliant display of fireworks were featured on the mountain and could be seen for miles in the valleys below. As activity began Friday night, the weather dropped in (we mean that literally) as hovering dark clouds emitted showers for a short while.

NATIONAL FARM SAFETY WEEK JULY 19-25,1964 PERENNIAL Farm Safety a Full Time Job The modem farm b a comparatively , safe place to live. But it remains a «ha|tnxu place to work. Thera were 8,700 farm residents killed in accidents in 1962, about die same as the year before. But there were 5 per cent fewer farmers. Death rates increased in all accident classes hut work, just as they did nationally, according to the National Safety Council. The farm work rate had a small decrease while the national rate was unchanged. Farming continues to rank as the third most hazardous occupation. Only anis^. including quarrying and petroleum drilling, and construction have uKhcc AOcidcQdJI dcs&ii fitcs* Motor vehicle, home and pubik accidents affect farm residents about as i" severely as other Americans. But work accidents, the smallest dassiiicatioa *. nationally, on the farm remain second only to motor vehicle accidents. | Safety procedures, developed in other industries, are as necessary on the . k..farm as in other-mock if farm'safety is ter he brought into line with the., f seat of the nation. . . , • » ; Supervision of employees is much more difficult on the farm than in a - factory. The worker often works alone and an unsafe act may go unnoticed and uncorrected. Frequently the farm employee is temporary help—an itinerant worker or a student working during the summer. Too often he lacks the proper training and knowledge to work safely. The farm employer should make an extra effort to be sure that his workers understand their duties and the proper, safe way to operate equipment and handle the materials they use. It cannot be assumed that a high school atudeot can operate a tractor properly because he has a driver's license—no matter how safe a driver he may be. | National Farm Safety Week, July IP-2 5, is a time when we examine the ! Farm safety is a full-rime job we must work at all year round. .Traffic Deaths Up ;For First Half Year r t Richmond, Va.—The first isix months of 1964 saw the {highest toll of Virginia traffic {deaths ever recorded for a 5similar period.

Tarpley, Assistant Extension Entomologist, states the following- in his July 3rd report of Virginia Economic Insect Detection and Reporting Service: “FALL ARMYWORM (Laphy gma frugiperda) larvae are now damaging several crops in Georgia (reported as early as June 22), and we can expect them to appear in Virginia in the near future. This species is able to overwinter only in the extreme ^outh. The adult moths move ngrtt> ward in successive flights each summer. Eggs are laid in masses of fifty to several hundred and hatch into larvae in 2-10 days, depending on temperature. The larvae complete their feeding in 2 Or 3 weeks They feed mostly at night. In sunny weather, they conceal themselves under foliage: of plants. If forced by hunger to seek other food, they maymig rate in the day time. The larvae look much like those of the true armyworm, and are difficult to distinguish from them. Fall armyworms cause different kinds of injury to different plants. Injury varies also according to age of the plants and developmental stage of the caterpillars. In young corn, the larvae eat buds and destroy plants. If plants have tasseled and ears have begun to form, they feed chiefly on tips of ears, and cut off the silks. At a still later stage, larvae bore into the sides of ears, or into the stalks Larvae attack sugarcane, and sorhgum in the same way they attack cornstalks. They injure grasses by eating off the leaves. They injure young cow peas, beans, and other garden plants by cutting them off at the Base, as do cutworms.

WaaUagta* Thursday, July 16, 1964 Peoples Life Tops Billion Mark Peoples Life Insurance Com. pany, Washington, D. C. which has a district office in Fredericksburg managed by H. J. Lowe, has reported that record sales during the first six months of 1963 lifted the firm’s life insurance in force above the $1 billion mark for the first time. Lowe announced that his company reached the billion mark six months ahead of schedule. He pointed out that only 7 per cent of the Nation's 1,500 legal reserve life insurance companies are in the billion dollar category. Life insurance sales in the first half of this year totaled $99,782,256, up 9.4 per cent from $91,148,966, in the same 1963 period, he said. The company’s life insurance in force on June 30 aggregated $1,003,547,758, which is about double the figure for 10 years ago. The insurance account was increased during the six months by $35,787,886, compared with a gain of $30,077,440, a year earlier, an improvement of 18.9 per cent. Peoples has more than tripled its volume of ordinary life insurance in force in the last 10 years, Lowe said, and the ordinary total now stands at $572,201,175. Weekly premium insurance, which grows at a slower pace, totaled $414,017,583, at midyear. With the exception of a small amount of employees’ group Insurance, all of the total in force represents Individual life insurance policies produced by the company’s own agency organization, Lowe said. He added that it took more than 60 years for his company to reach the $1 billion goal and predicted that the second billion dollars of life insurance in force would be produced “in about 10 years". The office managed by Lowe is one of 61 such offices operated by the company in the District of Columbia and 9 states. More than 1700 employees, 16 of whom are in this area, serve Peoples'policyholders. Rural Safety, Everybodys Business About one-third of all agricultural accidents occur during the performance of routine farm chores, such as milking, cleaning the barns, taking care erf the cattle, spreading manure, tilling the fields, and the like, says EasleyS, Smith, agricultural engineer at Virginia Polytechnic Institute. Fifteen years ago, accidents caused by farm animals were second in order of frequency in the United States. Next in order were tools, machinery, and farm vehicles. However, during the past 15 years even smaller farms have become mechanized, and the larger ones even more so. The tractor, binder, harvester, hay baler and reaper have practically replaced the horse, not only as a source of farm labor--but also as a cause of serious, mutilating, and fatal accidents. The tractor, probably the most common of the recently adopted farm vehicles, is often driven by boys and girls as young as 10 or 12 years of age. And they may occasionally take their even younger brothers and sisters for rides across the fields, into the pastures, or even onto busy highways. Too much warning cannot be sounded to those on farms of the potentially lethal nature of the common, small farm tractor. The number of people on farms who have been run over and killed by their own machines is appalling, Smith says Frequently the accidents are caused because the machines have been left in gear when the driver dismounted, or when he was operating a tractor on the side of hills so steep that it toppled over, or when trying to force a machine to perform more difficult jobs than those for which it was intended. Rural safety is everybody's business, says Smith. For your own sake as well as the safety and welfare of your loved ones, make it your business. Think, talk, teach, preach, and practice safety.

Forsyth &co. front Royali Va* resentative for trade negotiations, has written Rep. John O. Marsh, Jr.: “As you know, we have protested vigorously this action during each of the past two years, and urged that American turkeys be given at least comparable treatment to that accorded geese importedfrom Poland. Thank you for reminding us of this problem. We will take every opportunity to continue to insist that this discrimination against U. S. turkeys be discontinued.* ’ Marsh, who represents the important Shenandoah Valley poultry producing region, directed Herter’s attention to the matter in a letter recalling that Germany. in re^cent years, had given a special tariff concession during the winter holiday season to geese shipped to that country from communist Poland and Yugoslavia but had declined to give equal treatment to turkeys from the United States, despite growing acceptance of turkeys as a “holiday bird" among German housewives. The Germans had justified their special tr-eatmentof geese imports on the basis that the goose was a traditional main dish for holiday feasting in Germany and other European countries. In writing to Herter, Marsh suggested: “In connection with talks now in progress, I think you will agree that, it would be opportune to suggest strongly that our turkeys, which have won substantial acceptance in Euro pean markets as holiday bird^ should, this fall, be given treat ment' at least equal to that which it may be expected will be granted to geese of communist Poland and Yugoslavia. In his reply, declaring that further efforts would be made in the matter, Herter added: “In spite of this discrimination, however, our turkeys continue to enjoy favorable acceptance in the German market. Our turkey exports to West Germany in each of the past three years have been: 1961-17,900,000 pounds. 1 1962— 25,000,000 pounds. 1963— 19,300,000 pounds.” STOP!

Waters Transportation Vital In Honey Business Ever stop to think how much transportation is involved in the honey you eat on hot biscuits or pancakes? Even for bees, the honey business is mainly transports* tion. If a single bee should fly an average of a mile to a source of honey—making enough trips to produce a pound of honey--it would have to fly the equivalent of three times around the world. A tremendous ta6kforevenabee in this age of jet transportation, say entomologists at Virginia Polytechnic Institute. But wait, even more transportation is involved. Bee keep ing is becoming mobile. The migratory beekeeper moves his bees by truck from south to north following the blooming period of the best nectar producing crops. The trip north may take him almost to the Canadian border. In late summer, he starts the return trip but on the way makes stops to harvest honey from fall flower flows. Total honey production for such a rougjJ Trip may reach a million pounds. Transporting bees is a fairly simple operation provided everything works as planned. The beekeeper closes the hive entrance at night after the bees have returned from the field. Hive bodies are stapled together for the move and are loaded in stacks on the trucks. Now bees are important for agriculture for pollinating crops. Research at Texas A & M University shows that seed production from clover can be increased seven-fold when bees are used to pollinate it. Farmers who grow clovers and alfalfa for seed for example, welcome the migratory beekeepers to their farms. But it isn't all hot biscuits and honey for the beekeeper. He can run into a peck of trouble in a hurry. When bees are in the vicinity of fields being treated with chemicals for Insect control, he sometimes has to make a forced move in a hurry. Otherwise, he may lose an Investment running into thousands of dollars. Other problems must be over, come by good management but those who profit most are the ultimate consumers of the food delicacy which the keeper and his hardworking bees provide.! bKO Uta&eo CMMTVRU1 Aixao—PEOPLE /...J FIRES/ , Smokey Sayms Chester Gap Mrs. Bertha Williams of Chester Gap, Mr. and Mrs. Sandy Robinson and daughter Nadine, the Rev. and Mrs. C.

From The Ltfome Agent Pen By Doris Daugnerty Everyday storage of clothing is just as important as seasonal storage for appearance and long wear. Here are some tips. Hats should be brushed after wearing and stored so that they do not rest on their brims, do not get crushed, and are protected from dust. Straw or fabric Durses should be brushed. Plastic and leather ones should have finger prints and soil wiped off, and leather should be waxed. Stuff all purses with tissue for storage and protect them from dust. Gloves should be turned wrong side out to air before storing. Many are washable, although some leather ones should be dry cleaned. When leather gloves are washable, use soap and wash them on your hands, leaving some soap in them to keep the leather soft While they are still damp,rub them in your hands. The oil from your skin will help keep them soft. Dresses and suits should be brushed and aired before putting them in the closet to prevent odors from getting in other garments. Remove the belt and hang it by the buckle. Close zijjpers and fasten top button. Knit garments should' be flat on a shelf or in a drawer. Homemaking Hints Add variety and give the family a delightful treat. Top griddle cakes with scoops of ice cream, then with spoonfuls of canned cherry or blueberry pie filling. ********** To pull threads easily for drawn work or hemstitching, first lubricate them generously with a moist sliver of soap. Run along the edge of a ruler in a straight line, rubbing it well into the fabric.

Security Notes •Criminal violation of laws affecting entitlement to social security payments can result in imprisonment of heavy fines," Mrs, Hazel F. Daly, District Manager of the Social Security office in Winchester, Va., warned today. Mrs. Daly called attention to the sentences imposed on April 22, 1964 in Salisbury, N. C., on Mr. Harry E. Honeycutt and his wife Mrs. Ruth Benfield Honeycutt. Honeycutt was sentenced to .serve four months in prison. Mrs. Honeycutt was sentenced to one year in prison but the sentence was suspended and she was placed on probation for five years. The couple pleaded guilty to giving false statements in connection with an application for monthly benefits filed on behalf of Lizzie Mae Benfield, Mrs. Honeycutt's stepmother, and to concealing the death of the stepmother who had been dead several weeks at the time the application was filed." Mrs. Daly said the Social Security Administration has the duty of detecting any fraud that may exist at any stage of the claims operation and of recommending pro s e c u t i o n when the facts justify it. Mrs. Daly added that the majority of claims are free from fraud because processes and procedures used by the Administration have been effective in keeping to a minimum the payment of benefits to those not entitled to them."

TURK'S GARAGE "I think IV* located th* trouble.” ± Virginia Afield M Gooch Cobia Tournament The "Miss Pam* kicked up a good spray as her skipper,. Capt. L. M. Sparshott,steered her out of the Chesapeake Boat Basin at Kilmarnock and pointed her bow toward cobia fishing waters off Dividing Creek. It was a calm day full erf promise though, an$ the spray was created as the charter boat cut .the wakes of the other 4 boats of the Kilmarnock Sports Fishing Fleet headed in the same direction. The fleet of 5 boats was kicking off the Kilmarnock outdoor writers one day cobia tournament, and participating were writers from Virginia, Washington, D.C. and Maryland. Aboard Capt. Sparshott's craft were Max Ailor of the Richmond Times - Dispatch, Jim Netherwood, Richmond photographer, Jimmy Sparshott, the skipper’s 9th grader son, and the writer. Bay Big Game The cobia is the big game fish of the Chesapeake Bay. Averaging 40 to 50 pounds, they are fished for with chumming lines and live eels. In addition to being a top game fish the cobia is also an excellent food fish. Nethe* wood, who fishes 12 months each year and mostly in salt water, recommends that the fish be filleted as this removed the backbone which gives the meat a strong taste if frozen for any length of time July and August are top cobia months. And this is Important to the all around angler who is likely to find fresh water fishing at a low ebb -during the summer months. SparshoU Boats Five Aboard the *Mlss Pam*, Allor was the first to go Into action as a 40 pounder hit his lively eel and consumed 30 minutes of fishing time as Max skillfully played him to the gaff on a 15 pound test line. Netherwood was high man with 2 in the boat, young Sparshott landed 1 and Gooch connected with a 55 pound fighter that burned his fresh water thumb and almost pulled him overboard. Several others were hooked and lost during the 6 hours of fishing. "Miss Pam* was high boat though and won the fun tournament. PstesMc River Basis The U. S. >rmy Corps of Engineers have settled on a Potomac River Basin plan that calls for a high dam on the river a few miles upstream from the Capitol. Copies of the plan^are now in the hands of the Governors of the several states affected. The plan is opposed by Virginia and Maryland Congressmen. the National Wildlife Fed oration, the National Parks Association and the Virginia Wildlife Federation among others. The Governors do not have veto powers on the plan, but they do have until July 23 to file protects. Avoiding Harm On The Farm You may be surprised to learn that agriculture--that is, farming and ranching--Is responsible for more occupational deaths each year than any other major one industry in the United States; In fact, agriculture is the only major industry to show a gradual injury ancf death rate increase during the past fifteen years. During 1962, statistics show that 3,100 men and wompn lost their lives in accidents while working at chores on farms and ranches throughout the United States. Furthermore, fatal accidents comprise only fFvery small proportion of the total injuries sustained. It is reliably estimated that for every fatal farming accident, there are at least 100 serious, crippling or disabling injuries that often require weeks in the hospital and months of convalescence in the home before the injured person can return to normal labors. The death and Injury rate in most major industries such as construction, mining, and the vast transportation field has declined gradually and significantly during the past decade and a half. Why the Increase in one and the decrease in others? Simply because in the industries both management and labor have been on the alert to the Inherent dangers to which their workers and employees are constantly exposed. They have not only encouraged, but put into operation, many safety measures, often rigid ones, that have been directly responsible for reducing the dangers of their various professions. On the other hand, because of the more isolated units of operation, ranching andfarming has no such comparable organized supervision or advanced safety regulations. Therefore, the occupational death rate among workers in the agricultural profession in general has gradually risen. With summer at hand, rural QUIET RUNNING! CONSTANT SPEED!

Statistics show that the seasonal variations of agricultural accidents follow a somewhat regular pattern. The highest peaks occur during July and August. They are composed largely of accidents and mishaps due to harvesting, the filling of silos, and repairing of equipment. Then there are the accidents in which very small children and younger boys and girls are involved while playing about machinery. Other accidents are caused by men at regular work and doing the normal routine farm chores as well as building and repairing shelters, barns, and sheds. Farm animals also cause some additional accidents during these months. Summer is the season when more city and urban children visit relatives on farms. And frequently they are more or less turned loose on farms to roam and play at will without supervision, thinking they are safe from traffic. Visiting children are usually totally ignorant of the many hazards to be found on farms, and too frequently become innocently involved in serious orevenfatal accidents. Falls from barn lofts, sheds, and hay stacks account for many broken bones The ratio of farm accidents falls abruptly with the departure of the summer vacation months. According to “Today's Health", a magazine of the American Medical Association, “summer is without question the most dangerous season of the year on the farm, Late winter and early spring is the most secure." Weekly Farm Price Outlook \ (Till* It the way tntpwti for Virginia farm prices looked to the Virginia Dept, of Agrlceltere on Friday. The Department off era it to one can predict prices and be right fanners with the warning that no .all the time.) Slaughter Cattle No immediate gains in cattle prices are expected. Recent price increases, however, should hold near present levels throughout the summer and signs of improving prices should be seen toward late summer. Slaughter has been running about comparable periods erf last year since August with an increase, in June, of 15 per cent over the same month last year—based on weekly estimates of federally inspect ed slaughter. Information from the April 1 Cattle On Feed Report indicates the number of animals from cattle on feed should begin declining and about equal last year's number in about 60 to 90 days. Producers are advised to watch for the July 17 report for later information. In Chicago last week, choice grade steers brought $22.50 $23.25, and good grade steers were $19.50-$21.75. Choice grade heifers sold at $21.25$22.50, and good grade heifers brought $18.50-$20.75. Cattle moving through Virginia auctions last week brought these prices: good steers $19.50-$20.50 and good heifers $17.00-$18.00. Lambs Lamb prices have passed their seasonal peak. Producers are advised to sell at the earliest possible finish to avoid the usual seasonal decline in lamb prices. Lamb prices in Virginia last week ranged from $24.00$24.75 for prime. $22.75-$23. 00 for choice and $17.00$18.00 for good. fight against FOREST FIRES!* THEATRES Moa..Fri„ | Show Only. 7: Mt. »}—, 1j%I. »:M - San. 3: NOW thru.
