Kerrick, Virginia Game Commission Safety Officer. Both accidents and fatalities are ahead of last year's record at this time, Kerrick said. Oeer hunting accidents claimed 11 victims while 10 met with misfortune while hunting squirrels. Other accidents occurred while the victims were hunting doves, rabbits, turkeys, crows, quail, coons and blackbirds. Almost three-fourths of the accidents were caused by shotguns, onefifth by rifles and the remainder by hand guns. Over half of the accidents occurred at ranges at less than 10 yards with various examples of careless gun handling leading the list of causes. Of the 35 victims, 8 were reported to have been mistaken for game. Nearly half of the shooters and over one-third of the victims of these accidents were less than 21 years old. In two cases this year, one of them a fatality, the shooter was never identified. In the non-fatal case, the shooter ran when he heard the victim call for help and, in the other, the man was found dead in the woods. i Christmas Play at Five Fork* Baptist Church There will be a Christmas play entitled: 'Christmas in Our Home,* at the Five Forks Baptist Church, December 24 at 8 p.m. The play will be presented by The Five Forks Youth' Group.

Religious Heritage Art Exhibited At Rappahannock County Library During the holidays part of the Washington area High School Collection on Religious Heritage will be on exhibit at Rappahannock Library. The exhibition will be open on Wednesday and Saturday of Christmas week, and for special groups on other days on request. Four years ago The American Council on Religious Art, a National Society, sponsored an annual exhibition of religious art by Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, D. C. H. S. art students. The purpose was to stimulate a greater interest and appreciation of religious art among our young people; also to provide greater recognition and motivation for those students work ing in religious theme; and to foster the use of this art in homes, schools, and institutions. Three very successful exhibition hav6 been shown in downtown business houses. The Kiwanis Clubs provide annual awards of savings bonds, and a trophy to the school doing the best work. Each year the Judges select the best works to go into a permanent mobile Collection for loan to schools, churches, galleries, libraries, andclub^ Part of this collection was loaned by the American Couhr cil to our library for the holidays. This exhibit is worthy every aiivuiiu it* it very graphically shows the creative and interpretive abilities of the young artist in translating the Scriptures into art language. This exhibit is the surprise Christmas present to the community by the libarary, and we are sure it will surprise all who come to see it.

C.i Williamson, Extension Livestock Specialist of V. P. I., shows calves soldattheRappa^ hannock Angus Feeder Calf Sale to have fetched the second highest price out of 36 such sales held in Virginia. Our sale averaged $23.28 per hundredweight while the first place Winchester sale averaged $23.59. Both sales were close in Quality of offerings Winchester - 40% Fancy & Choice, Rappahannock 39%. The Winchester Shorthorn sale lead all others in quality with 54% grading F & C! Abin^ don had the second highest1 quality offering with 49% grading Fancy & Choice. Generally, heavier calves mean higher prices per head or a greater gross per cow. Would like to see our calves weigh a bit more, at least up to the state average or a shade better. Our calves were 7 pounds below the state average of 449 lbs. on a total of 37,521 head. You consignors micrhr wpII consider the 1964 percent calf crop of your cow herd that were ready to sell in mid October which weighed 442 pounds. During calf sale inspections we always see far too many calves of 250-325 lb. weight range not to mention sleek fat cows with no calves at all at side. If a commercial cow misses calving or loses her calf but one year how long thereafter would she have to stay in the herd for you to break even. It is not uncommon to hear $100.00 quoted as the annual cost of a cow. What is your cost per cow in; feed, labor, interest on investment, depreciation in fences and buildings, taxes, vet services etc? The Madison yearling sale, held at Culpeper Enterprise^ was among the higher priced sales of this age feeder cattle in 1964. The average price per hundredweight was $20.43 on 1576 head which was the largest sale in the state. Prices were well above any other yearling sale held in this section of the state to which our producers would normally consign.

Provisions of 1965 Feed Grain Program USDA announced major provisions of voluntary 1965 feed grain program, Including decision to keep total price-support levels for cooperators the same as for 1964. Within total price-support rates, loan levels were decreased with corresponding increases in payment rates. Diversion payment rate will be same as for 1964. Department officials said 1965 program designed to maintain part lclpators incomes at least as high as current levels. They also stressed that program will help maintain overall feed grain income for producers at near current levels, or about billion dollars a year higher than with previous feed grain programs. Changes within total price support rate were made to encourage greater participa-| tion in the program by farmers. Department officials noted success of program de pends on level oi participation sufficiently high to offset pro gram costs by reduction in public investment in government feed grain Inventories. For 1965 program, a larger proportion of price support will be in payment form with some reduction in average loan rate for all three feed grains. Acreage substitution feature for wheat and feed grain acre age which is new to program for 1965 gives producers more flexible range of cropping opportunities and income possibilities. Participation in both wheat and feed grain programs will bring more returns than nonparticipation, USDA officials said. Total national average price support for cooperators for 1965 crop corn will be $1.25 per bushel—composed of loan and purchase value of $1.05 per bushel and 20 cents per bushel support payment based on normal (1959-63) production of acreage planted for harvest. Other feed grain price supports are adjusted to their relationship to corn. Release ROCK ’N ROLL DANCE Friday Night; January 1, 1965 SPERRYVILLE SCHOOL AUDITORIUM Beginning at 8:30 P. M.

Marsh Urges , Relief from Poultry Import Duties Washington - Representative John O. Marsh, Jr. has made public a further reply -- this from Secretary of Agriculture Orville L. Freeman -- to a series of letters to top officials urging a major1 diplomatic effort by the United States to obtain relief from increased poultry import duties imposed by the European Common Market. In earlier replies, the State Department and Christian Herter, the President's Special Representative for Trade Negotiations, assured Marsh that intensive negotiations were being continued in the matter. Secretary Freeman’s letter follows: “Dear Mr. Marsh: Thank you for your letter of November 19 concerning recent actions by the European Economic Community (EEC) which increased the supplemental levy on imported whole chickens. The EEC Commission action on November 12, increasing the ^supplemental levy on whole chickens for a second time in a fortnight, is of great concern to the De gives loan rates support payments by individual grains. Program participants, since they help cut government costs by diverting acreage to conserving use and thus reducing production, not only can get price support loan and purchases, but also price support payments, and acreage diversion payments. Since yields have trended upward in recent years, moving five-year average (1959-63) being used for first time in 1965 generally will mean higher price support payments for normal production in major producing areas. This payment of 20 cents per bushel in case of corn and related payments for other feed crops will be paid on acreage seed*; ed for harvest within permitted acreage, even though drought, or other adverse crop conditions seriously reduce production on any farm. To participate in program, producers need to reduce their total acreage of corn, grain sorghum and barley in 1965 by at least 20 percent. Diversion payments, if less than 40 percent of base is diverted, will be county support rate on one-fifth of normal production for first 20 percent diversion, and on onehalf of normal for remaining percentage. Payments in kind for both diversion and price support payments again will be made in form of negotiable certificates with which producer may receive grain from C C C stocks or cash at county ASCS office if he wishes assistance of Commodity Credit Corporation in marketing certificates. As previously, major part of price support will be provided through loans. Signup for feed grains and for spring wheat will be from Feb. 8, through March 26. During the signing period, winter wheat producers who signed up in wheat program last fall may change their intentions. partment. This supplemental levy, prior to October 30, was 2.8 cents per pound. The two recent actions by the Commission raised the levy to 4.0 cents on October 30 and 5.7 cents per pound effective November 16. This raised the total West German charges on imports of U. S. broilers from 12.9 cents to 15.7 cents per pound. The basis for the Commission’s actions was that Danish offer prices for broilers were abnormally low. The Commission used these prices to justify imposing additional charges in order to protect the Community market. This government has protested these recent levy increases and Informed the Commission of our concern. We have urged them to take action similar to that effected earlier this year on imports of shell eggs. That action increased the supplemental levy for shell egg imports from seven countries, mostly Communist or statetrading countries, whose offering prices were consistently below the gate price. At the same time, it reduced to zero the supplemental levy from other “reasonable" trading countries, i.e. countries selling at prices equal to or above the gate price. Further representations are presently being formulated. our continued efforts the United States will be able to obtain a selective application of the supplemental levies for whole chickens as well as egg products. Sincerely yours, Orville L. Freeman4 Choose Your Business Gift With Care Probably the hardest gifts to choose during the holiday season are those which are necessary as a result of business relationships. Following are some basic hints which might be helpful in the selection and distribution of business gifts. 1. Extravagant gifts smack of bribery. Thus it is often wise to keep your gifts of modest value in relation to the importance of1 each recipient — whether he be an employee, prospect oiri customer-, 2. It is best to choose your gifts individually, considering the tastes of each group of recipients, or preferably, of each individual recipient. i 3. High quality gifts that are useful, durable, and dependable are your best choices. 4. If possible personalize each gift with the recipient's name or maybe just initials. 5. Package each gift securely and attractively. 6. A personal note, greeting card or at least a special gift label should accompany each package. ?. If possible deliver each gift with a "flair" — personally or by messenger — and preferably to each recipient's home rather than to his office. The key, then, to such giftgiving, would seem to be "Moderation in good taste." A CHRISTMAS SAVING All Coats Reduced The Jack and Jill Shop 1J6 So.

John Kennedy Memorials Set Up Throughout World In the year since President John F. Kennedy's death, peoples throughout the world have given his name to countless memorials and landmarks. The impact on gazetteers was immediate, the National Geographic Society says. No other world leader has been so widely commemorated in geographical terms. A traveler can fly from Kennedy (the New York international airport) to Kennedy (the new 2 1/2-mile-high airport at La Paz, Bolivia). Bay City, Alaska, renamed itself Kennedy, as did a fishing village in Spain. Kennedy expressways take motorists through parts of Maryland, Delaware, Chicago, and Brazil. Cars cross Kennedy bridges at Louisville, Munich, Hamburg, Bonna and Vienna. Kennedy streets are too numerous to list—in cities as remote in miles and spirit as Paris and the Croatian capital of Zagreb; in Belgrade, cosmopolitan Beirut, and med* ieval Limoges in France; Naples and Foggia in southcentral Italy. Metz, France, gave the late President the supreme honor of changing its Rue Jeanne d'Arc to Rue J. F. Kennedy. Sicily, an island with a fiercely passionate soul, went all out by assigning the Kennedy name to four streets, two squares, and 20 scholarships Yemen gave his name to its greatest pridt--a new multimillion-dollar water system. Seven hundred poor families in Venezuela were resettled near Caracas in a pleasant new housing development, El presidente Kennedy. Public squares were renamed for Mr. Kennedy in Saigon, Algiers, West Berlin, Rome, and Limosano, Italy, j In Denmark, an international i home and research center for j handicapped children was plan- j ned as the national memorial! The London suburban town of ! Stratford established a sim- : ilar local center for children i Monrovia, Liberia, dedicated a new medical center to the late President. Britain, as its national mem-j orial, set aside a tract on its ; most hallowed soil, Runnymede, where the Magna Charta was signed. The British also raised a fund to enable deserving students to study in Mr. Kennedy's home territory at Harvard, Radcliffe, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. A Kennedy chair was established at the Bar-Ilan University in Israel. Funds for chairs, scholarships, or awards have been set up in Thailand, New Zealand, and Spain. In Brazil, student centers on many college campuses were renamed for Mr. Kennedy. Schools and Libraries Youngsters attend Kenn e d y schools in Mexico City, Caracas, Rome, Jaibon in the Dominican Republic, Dieburg in West Germany, and the manufacturing town of Sabadell in Spain. Libraries have been or will be established in Bostor^ Addis Ababa, and Los Angeles National concert halls in President Kennedy’s honor are planned in Washington D. G and Dublin. Memorial forests will be planted in Israel on a Judean hill overlooking Jerusalem, and near the Kennedy ancestral home in Wexford County, Ireland. Inhabitants of Quemu Quemu in southern Argentina, raisea funds for a 115-foot-high memorial. In the world-wide outpouring of grief following the assassination on November 2^ 1963, there was an abortive move in Dublin to take down a historic 132-foot-high statue of Admiral Horatio Nelson in the heart of town and replace it with one of the slain American President. TOYS TO PLEASE When you set out to buy a toy for that favorite nephew, niece, or grand child, let price be your last consideration. A child has no concern about what something costs—he only knows that he likes it or doesn’t like it. If you don’t know the type of toys a particular child prefers ask his parents. You don’t have to tell them what gift you intend to give, but, if you find out what interests the child, you can be sure that your gift will be appreciated and enjoyed. THE FIRST I; I :!■ ii.l iiw _ . hnw *■■■■■* *■ 9 I Tf » ■ ■ ■ ■ ** Gold, frankincense, and myrrh, the first Christmas gifts, represented the most precious items of the day. Only the best was-, considered a suitable gift for a king and the Wise Men had traveled far to pay their respect to the newborn infant. The Wise Men were kings themselves-and they could afford expensive gifts. In modern-day gift giving, we should not place emphasis on the cost of the gifts we give. It is the spirit of giving that is important and that is appreciated. This can be readily understood when we note that the simple presents of the shepherds were appreciated as much as the valuable gifts of the three kings. READ THE WANT ADS--- IT PAYS!

Luther Simulated Christmas Scene Most everyone has heard the story of Martin Luther and the Christmas tree. Luther lived from 1483 to 1546 and, so the story goes, was $he night so impressed by the sight of snow-oovered evergreens sparkling in the moonlight that he returned to his home and tried to reproduce the memorable scene for his family. He chose a small evergreen tree and, to simulate the reflections of the starlit heavens, 4e attached a number of lighted candles. Christmas trees, of course, did not become popular until years later. r~ ----— Thanks to all of you, our many loyal friends and customers, for your ^wonderful patronage.

fFestive Christmas Spirit in White House { The Christmas spirit has radiated from the White House | through 165 years of war and peace, joy and tragedy, prosperity and depression. The first Christmas in the White House was bleak, the National Geographic Society says. In the fall of 1800, John and Abigail Adams moved into the incomplete mansion. Though appalled by the vast, chilly rooms, Mrs. Adams was determined to hold a Christmas reception for Congress. Twenty cords of wood were burned in 13 fireplaces in a futile effort to dry out the damp walls, and the shivering guests stayed only briefly. The party, Mrs. Adams wrote, "was a frost." Jefferson Fiddled Five years later, the walls were dry, and a White House Christmas party was 60 gay that Thomas Jefferson was moved to play lively tunes on his violin. Dolley Madison, who had served as hostess for Jefferson, tttay the blessings of the night i your heart a happiness that shines ever brighter throughout all the days to come. TRIPLETT MILLING CO. Culpeper, Va. for you. £lufJbffZ*ux& \ Clore Funeral Home CULPEPER, VIRGINIA presided at a big holiday gathering in 1811 for his successoy her husband James Madison. The vivacious Dolley “completely dominated the scene," according t<5 a contemporary account. Her rouge was “perceptible in a very bright light; a shocked observer reported. A huge mirror,, made in France especially for the occasion, covered the dining table, which was piled high with turkeys, chickens, roasted wild game, vegetables, fruits, and several kinds of pudding. Each guest was attended by a personal waiter. Children made the White House Christmas of 1835 unforgettable. Six young relatives of Andrew Jackson were told by the President that Santa Claus never had visited him when he was a boy. The children insisted that he hang up his stocking on Christmas Eve. The next morning, Jackson’s secretary found Old Hickory in tears over the corncob pipe, tobacco, and trinkets the youngsters had surreptitiously stuffed into his stocking. On Christmas afternoon, the children were present at a party in the East Room. Vice Presid' nt Martin Van Burer joined in some of the games. At one point he was obliged to stand on one leg and say*. “Here I stand all ragged and dirty; if you don’t come and kiss me, I’ll run likeaturkfey. The dinner table that night was decorated with toy animals, a small frosted pine tree, colored icicles, and a pyramid of glistening cotton snowballs. After dinner, the children staged a fight with the cotton balls, and President Jackson is said to have joined in. Tad Lincoln Shared Dinner Young Tad Lincoln once invited a group of street urchins into the White House to share his Christmas dinner. The cook tried to shoo them off, but Tad appealed tohisfathep who said they should stay. In 1877, a newspaper, alluding to the contested presidential election of 1876, wrote ungraciously of Rutherford B. Hayesj "This will be the first time a usurper has celebrated Christmas in the White House. But Santa Claus descends the chimney—alike on the just and the unjust.” Unperturbed, Hayes and his wife reenacted their wedding as a White House holiday festivity to celebrate their4H»Rji^ersary, £ Benjamin Harrison is credit ed with ordering the first Christmas tree ever set up in the White House in 18$9. The President himself helped trim it. Three years later, two of Harrison’s grandchildren stood in front of another White House Christmas tree and recited German pieces their governess, Fraulein Hempe, had taught them. Just before one Christmas, Theodore Roosevelt stood on a White House portico roaring with laughter as he watched three of his sons, hatchets in hands, chase a turkey across the lawn. Another year, Archie Roosevelt secretly decorated an evergreen in a secondfloor room and unveiled it on Christmas morning. In 1924, Calvin Coolidge started the practice of lighting a dt corated spruce on the Holiday Breelmgs Were grateful to be spending Christmas among all our friends and neighbors , as a measure of our gratitude, may we extend our very best wishes to you f fora happy, healthy and festive season. MARTIN FURNITURE COMPANY CULPEPER, VIRGINIA 1 White House lawn a a the Nation’s Christmas tree. In 195^ the ceremony Was moved to the Ellipse, the park south of the White House grounds, and expanded into an annual Pageant of Peace. Hoover Paraded "National Geographic tells the story of how Mrs. Herbert Hoover carried a family custom into the White House when she invited groups of children to parade through the darkened mansion, carrying candles and singing carols. President Hoover, somewhat ill at ease, led the procession, On two occasions Mr. Hoover arranged for his secretary to dress as Santa Claus and burst from the East Room fireplace, to the delight of the Presidents grandchildren. Franklin D. Roosevelt and his large family celebrated Christinas with a series of White House parties and gatherings for family, friends, and staff. The highlight came on Christmas Eve when the entire family—parents, children, grandchildren-gathered in the East Room for the President's masterful ^reading “A Christmas Cs*ol.” Then adults and children alike would repair to F. jgf R.’s bedroom to hang up stocneings. Mrs. Eisermower usually wore a brigW-red dress while presiding at holiday parties for her grandchildren. Though Presid* nt and Mrs. Kennedy were away on Christmas Day in 1961 and 1962, the mansion was decorated, and parties and receptions were held during the holiday season. In 1961, a group of orphans was invited to a Christmas party at the White House. A three-year -old was asked if she knew whose house it was. “Yes,” she replied. “It’s my grandmother’s house.” DON'T HAVE A* IJ. if If metr 3 CAU VOCk ■ NBFtXtA jl If «B»'C AM /MPICATION OF A *AC WVC.

Share the Joys Of Christmas Because it is truly the season of joy, we should make an effort fo share the happiness of Christmas with others. For the elders, this can begin with a greater understanding of what Christmas means to children. Christmas has a special meaning for those too young to realize the true significance of the birth of the Child Jesus. Grownups sometimes become irritated as the youngsters show increasing excitement and anxiety as Christmas approaches. Let children enjoy the Christmas; help them enjoy it, and everyone will have a happier holiday. There are other ways to help spread the joy of Christmas. We can do it with a kind word, with a smile, with a helping hand. For every little thing that we do, we shall find our own greater share of Christmas happiness. DANCE THE CAROL Researchers say that the early English carol was a poem suitable for singing, was danced as well as sung, and many times related to some popular subject of the day as much as to the Christmas theme. The word carol, it is said, stems from the French word ‘carole’ which means a round dance. DINNER Christmas traditions have a way of going on and on. In the city of Wichita, Kansas, in the year 19051 Sam Amidon, a local lawyer, buying his paper one wintry Christmas Eve, spontaneously treated a young news vendor to a new pair of shoes. Learning the youngster had no family, the lawyer treated him—and several of his buddies —to a Christmas dinner they otherwise would have missed. The annual Christmas dinners became a tradition. They eventually were served in the local Shrine club and Amidon enlisted the aid of other prominent citizens. Amidon died in 1925, but the Christmas dinners were continued by his wife. When she died, ten years later, a trust fund was set up to see that they continued, a fitting memorial to one man’s generosity and kindness. There aren't as many homeless newsboys today as there were back in 1905, but, through the trust fund, administered by a local bank, and with the help of the Salvation Army, the legacy of the Christmas dinner for the needy is still a tradition in Wichita. HOLIDAY ROBIN Today, there are many symbols we associate with Christmas — the tree, the Star of Bethlehem, tinsel, tree lights, the manger scene, holly, carolers and mistletoe, among others. Thus it is interesting to note that, for some reason, the robin was often used as an illustration on cards of the Victorian era. MIDNIGHT MASS The Roman Catholic custom of saying midnight mass on Christmas Eve stems from the belief that Jesus Christ was actually born at that hour. Actually, mass may be said at any hour the night before Christmas and in some countries there is no midnight mass, the first Christmas mass being said at four or five in the morning. * w .

To assist you in planning a program of regular exercise, the AMA offers a number of suggestions. An exercise program should be started at an early age and continued throughout life, with certain adjustments from time to time as life advances and needs, interests and capabilities change. The amount of vigorous exercise that is desir able each day is largely an individual matter, with recommendations ranging from 30 minutes to an hour each day as a minimum. Something of interest for every individual can be found to make exercise satisfying and enjoyable, In addition to many sports, the variety of choices includes daily habits such as walking and gardening. Hard. fast, sustained or [highly competitive games and sports should not be played by persons of any age unless they have attained an appropriate state of fitness through regular training. All persons should be found by medical examination to be organically sound before training for com petition or other strenuous exercise. If you’re out of training, don’t try to keep pace in any vig. orous sport with an individual who is properly conditioned though regular training. Being in condition for one sport doesn’t necessarily mean you’re in condition for another If you’ve been long out of training, you will need a period of gradual • conditioning to get back to strenuous activity. How can you tell whether your exercise program is too strenuous? If breathlessness and pounding of the heart don’t subside within 10 minutes after exercise, if marked weakness or fatigue persists two hours later, if you’re still fatigued the next day, then you have overdone it. If you’re beginning to become active again after illness or injury, medical supervision of the effects of exercise is essential. If you are competing in body contact sports, or in BILL’S Sporting Goods Front Royal, Va.

Don’t try to stand up to someone much larger, stronger or more skilled. Body contact sports require protective equipment, and it’s very important that the equipment be good. Careful preparation and maintenance^of playing fields and other sports arenas are essential to reduction of injuries and full enjoyment of the activity. Contributions of exercise to fitness include a sense of wellbeing, and development and maintenance of strength, speed, agility, endurance and skill. Each individual differs in his capacity to enjoy and benefit from exercise. JA. > „ o p There is something about the season of Christmas that brings a family closer together. The extent of this “togetherness” depends upon the number of activities that are undertaken as a family project. A real “family” Christmas can include working together on everything, from selecting the tree to preparing Christmas treats in the kitchen. The male members of the family may grumble a bit, buty with feu^exceptions, they enjoy being assigned the task of preparing the tree. If such is possible, they enjoy even more an excursion to the woods where Mother Nature offers a wide selection of trees in various shapes and sizes. Helping prepare cookies and other Christmas treats is fun for distaff members of the I household. Most young girls are I pleased with the opportunity to show their versatility in making original decorations for the home. Give them a supply of pine cones, holly, tree branches, cardboard, tinsel and spray paint and they are ready to go. Putting the tinsel, lights and other decorations on the tree should be a family project. After this, going to church as a family and the traditional gathering around the festive board combine to put real “togetherness" in the holiday observance. AUTHOR’S WORDS “Everybody ought to know about Him. No one ever lived who was so good, so kind, so gentle, and so sorry for people who did wrong or were in any way ill and miserable, as He was. “And He is now in Heaven, where we all hojie to go, and all meet each other after we are dead, and there be happy always together, you can never think what a good place Heaven is, without knowing who He was and what He did." —Charles Dickens RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY Mr. and Mrs. Paul Hockman PAUL’S ]\|AYTAG 9 S.

Account Numbering Ever wonder about the confusion that would be caused if everybody's federal tax return had to be identified solely by the taxpayer’s name? It would be quite a problem, as any big city phone book would indicate. The Internal Revenue Service wants to be sure that every taxpayer has an identify ing number and that he uses that number in any transac tions in which Internal Revenue has a part. Most people al ready posses social security numbers which are the key to their tax accounts. Those who do not have a number should apply for one at once. ApplL cations may be obtained at the nearest Internal Revenue or Social Security office. Thank you for your patronage. We hope i to serve you throughout the new year i BRADFORDS Flint Hill, V». me.

The publication estimates: "There are now 1,300,000 Americans, alive today, whc have been cured of cancer... An additional 700,000 cancer patients diagnosed and treated within the last five years will live to enter the ranks of those we call cured. This means that there are actually 2,000,000 Americans cured of cancer, although 700,000 will not be formally counted as cured until they\have completed the five years.” Several other!significant changes are noted in the 1965 issue of “Cancer Facts and Figures." Deaths from lung cancer have increased; it is now the leading cause of death from cancer. The Society estimates that there will be 47,000 deaths from lung cancer in 1965. Seventy-five per cent of these could be avoided if people did not smoke cigarettes. It is estimated that 52,000 will develop lung cancer in 1965. The Society estimates that there will be about 43,000 deaths from cancer of the colon and rectum in 1965, an increase of 1,000 over 1964 deaths. Many of these deaths will be unnecessary. A proctoscopic examination once a year and prompt treatment could save three out of four of the 73,000 who will develop cancer of the colon and rectum in 1965. Except for cancer ot the lung and pancreas, and leukemia, cancer death rates in general are leveling off and in some cases going down. While the increase in lung cancer is largely attributed to smoking, the reason for the increase in cancer of the pancreas and leukemia are unknown. "Cancer Facts and Figures” points out that in the case of leukemia EGG NOG Eggnog's popularity is such that at Christmas and New Year's, the drink can be found in nearly every average American home. It is generally believed that Eggnog came to us from the Old English sack-posset. a hot drink which contains the same ingredients — milk, eggs, sugar and nutmeg. No one really knows who invented Eggnog. Researchers just say that it goes ’way, ’way back and like Topsy it “growed and growed." The flavorful taste of Eggnog 1s not the only reason for the drink's popularity. Eggnog is easy to make, it goes a long way, and it allows the hostess to have as much fun as anybody else without having to worry about the guests. Eggnog is a serve-yourself drink, and most folks seem to prefer to fill their cup themselves. Eggnog is flexible. That is, you can make a lot of it in one batch if you’ve got a large enough punch bowl and your refrigerator is particularly spacious. On the other hand. Eggnog can be made in smaller quantities — which are equally delightful and flavorsome.

(Makes quarts.) the death rate haa leveled off in children but increased considerably among adults. The uterine cancer death rate had dropped 27 pet cent, attributed in part to widening acceptance of the “Pap* test for early detection. The Society puts great emphasis in its educational program on uterine cancer, because greater use of the "Pap1' technique which can detect the disease before symptoms appear, could virtually eliminate the disease as a cause of death. Still it is estimated that 14,000 women in the U. S. will die of uterine cancer in, 1965, largely because they neglected to have a "Pap" test once a year. Once, the leading cause of death from cancer among women, the death rate from uterine cancer has been cut SO per cent in the last 25 years. Over-all the cancer picture for 1965, according to the Society’s booklet, is this: THfere will be about 550,000 new cases diagnosed. There will be about 850,000 under medical care for cancer. About 295,000 will die of cancer in 1965, against 290,000 this year. About 183,000 will be saved from cancer in 1965. Some 92,000 cancer patients will probably die in 1965 who might have been saved by earlier and better treatment. More men than women die of cancer. The ratio in 1965 it is estimated, will be 55 men to 45 women. Social Security Notes Your social security account deserves the same careful attention you give your bank account, your savings bonds, or any other matter Important to your future. This reminder came today from Mrs. Hazel F. Daly, social security district manager in Winchester Virginia. She pointed out that the earnings credited to the account of an employee or self-employed persons covered by social |ecurity determines the amount' of any benefits to be paid tb him, to his dependents or to his survivors. The higher the wages credited, the higher the benefits, she stated. "As a matter of fact." Mrs. Daly said, "although a minimum number of credits are required in all cases, it is the amount of wages or self employment income credited that determines how much in social security benefits a person will get." An employee can use his W-2 form as one means of checking the wages reported for him. In addition to total wages earned and taxes for withholding purposes, the W-2 should show wages for the year aubject to social security and the amount of FICA taxes deducted. The wages for the year subject to social security taxes are the basic of your social security credits for the year. The Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) tax finances the social, security benefits program. Anyone can get a statement of his social security credits by writing to the national head quarters in Baltimore. If you change jobs frequently it is especially important that you check at least every three years, according to Mrs. Dal); A postcard request form can be obtained from any social security office. Since your record is confidential, no one else can check your record for you; you must do this yourself. Mrs. Daly urged anyone having questions about social security to get in touch with the nearest social security office.
