Marsh Addresses Annual Banquet of Madison Young Farmers Before an audience of approximately a hundred mem. bers of Madison Young Farmers and their guests at their annual banquet Friday, the Hon. O.

Marsh went on to say that they will, however, have the benefit of dramatic advances in agricultural technology and a broader base of general knowledge than their forefathers had. Said the Hon. Marsh, “The impact of non-agricultural factors on farm life is certain to become particularly noticeable in counties such as Madison which, in the next decade or two, inevitably will be overtaken by the advancing fringe of outer suburbia; and this points up the necessity for long-rage cooperative planning among the members of the new generation of farmers who will have responsibility for the efficient management of productive land in the coming years.” Mr. Marsh said he believed that agriculture will be the key to world domination and will be considered to be the most important weapon yet devised. He mentioned advan tages of a return to the barter system. Hunter Weaver, President of the Madison Coun ty Young Farmers, presided over the'dinner. Everette Kitchen, .in the absence of the Rev. T. A.

Guest Named 'Ambassador Raymond Guest was unanimously confirmed as United States Ambassador to ireland by the Senate last week. He served as the State Senator from this district prior to the 1952 presidential election when he resigned his Democratic seat to work for the candidate on the Republican ticket. Dwight D. Eisenhower. Mr. Guest was supported for appointment by both Virginia Senators and in Senator Robertson’s words of praise he went on to note that “one of the principal exports of Ireland was jumping horses, race horses and other horses* and therefore it was to the best interests of the country to select “one of the outstanding horse experts in the country as the new U. S. Ambassador to Ireland. The week before it was doubtful as to whether Mr. Guest would be unanimously approved after he told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that Ireland “played a very big role in NATO*. Ireland has never belonged to NATO and remained neutral during the second World War. Another stumbling block to his appointment was that the State Department has a policy forbidding career employees from owning properties where they serve. Guest owns a 300acre farm in Ireland. Lack of knowledge of Irish politics and State Department policy were out weighed by making the appointment of an acknow ledged expert on the principal export of the country and by his generous contribution to both political parties. March is National 4-H Club Month and as always in connection with this the Rappahannock County 4-H County Council sponsors a public dinner which will be held Saturday, March 20.

In Richmond for appointment and a week of orientation at Foreign Mission Board head quarters, Mr. Divers, told how at a Baptist summer assembly in 1950 he came to a gripping realization of the disproportionate ratio between Baptist ministers in the United States and in other countries. “There I first recognized that the world is the field of labor for the Christian minis ter,“ he siad. “I made a silent vow to God that if he wanted me to serve elsewhere in the world, I would be willing."

RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia TELEPHONE: WASHINGTON 675 .1345 MRS. SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Entered as 2nd Class Mail at the Post Office at Washington, Va. Subscription R;tte (in Advance): $2.50 per year in Rappa hannock and adjacent counties; $3.00 elsewhere. \ Let The People Decide (An editorial by the publisher of Rappahannock News) A country newspaper is many things to many peoph but cannot be all things to all people. Last week's editioi of Rappahannock News was no exception, resulting ir several telephone calls to the publisher demanding redresj for news items concerning actions of the Board of Sup ervisors and exposure of authors of several Letters’ t< the Editor. The publisher sincerely apologizes for the letters tc the extent that they were not written by this newspapei nor was it intended to give the impression that the view* expressed therein were necessarily the sentiments of th« staff. However, it has and will continue to be the policy of the paper that a contributor of a letter may have Hi: name withheld upon request though we would not recom mend this. As Voltaire said, “Though I disagree with whai . you say, I shall defend with my life your right to say it.’ And it would be far more honorable to offer someone who is subjected to criticism a chance of rebuttal. But to some who feel that there may exist an element foi reprisal in other forms, the paper will continue to support an author’s anonomity if he so desires. A point to be remembered by those who hold polit ical office is that again and again in courts throughout the land it has been upheld that these offices must be pre pared to be often subjected to the harshest kind of crit icism, for they, too, cannot be all things to all people anc are fair game for any pundit who cares, to oppose theii views or their actions. Nevertheless, while we hold that a newspaper’s sub scribers and their comments are its life's blood, and at al times value, encourage, and welcome their comments ol whatever nature, we would issue a reminder of the dan gers of libel as well as the futileness of unconstructiv* criticism. In refuting the charge of "slanting” or "biasing' news stories we would reply that this is a favorite accu sation against all editors. Perhaps we have been overzealous. We shall try to do better. But it is too easily said in a telephone message that "everybody" is talking about it, or “ask anybody.” We should like to ask you our subscribers, about what YOU think YOUR news rper .should be. Let us hear from you. —Angus M. Green " *" i Letter To Editor To the Editor: Your editorial of last week was food for serious thought. Are there legitimate figures to substantiate the claim that accidents, knifings, etc., have been decreased since the ordinance was passed which closed Saturday night dance halls at 12;00? If so, what were the arguments for rescinding this ordinance? If conditions have Improved due to the fact that the dance halls closed an hour earlier, then our puppets have I acted in*a callous manner in rescinding the ordinance. What was the closing time before the ordinance was passed for the 12:00 o’clock curfew? Speaking of puppets, I have always found them to be darling little characters, some with more character than others, however, depending upon who does the manipulation. After all, our supervisors are puppets, after a fashion. That is what they are supposed to be. We elect them to represent us and we expect them to be manipulated by us. THE PREFERRED WHITE PRESERVATIVE PAINT PERPETUATES because it PENETRATES** w .«« CUt &£/>£. /£ ON DAVIS STWftT if YOWELL Hardware Coi171 E.PAVIS ST. Phone 825-0741 ' :fh: . , fS( My thinking concerning the appointment of a game warden has changed since I read the first report about it in the Rappahannock News. At first I felt that the situation was handled in a fashion not too admirable and immediately forgot about it. This week’s letters to the Editor have caused me to give the matter more thought. Now I feel that just because it happens to be a policy of the Game Commission dpt to appoint a local person Tor ;this position '-doesn’t mean that it is necessarily the best policy; and aren’t policies and laws changed when we come up with something more satisfactory? Can’t a local man be just as efficient as game warden as one can be as sheriff? I : cannot see any difference. , As to the fact that the man who may be appointed is a dyed-in-the-wool Republican, > I cannot see that this will pose . too much of a problem. ’Pears to me that I have more than one time seen dyed-in-thewool Democrats of Rappahani nock displaying Eisenhower or . Goldwater stickers on their cars and calling other dyed1 in-the-wool Democrats pro: fane names for not doing likewise. Often we bemoan the fact thai there is so little opportunity for young people in Rappahannock County and that it is necessary for them to go elsewhere to seek a better living. So if there is any position in our county which can be filled by an efficient local person, it seems to me that those whc are in the position to do anything about such a situation ■ should do so. I dare say the Game Commission changes its policies occasionally. Our state and federal governments rescind laws and make new [ laws all the time. And why? . Because we, the people, demand such. 'Pears like a change is bfcing made in Selma now. And why? Because the ; people (not all of them) demand | such. So, you see the principle is somewhat similar in both situations! Please, Madam Editor, continue to inform us about the happenings concerning the government of our county; especially, please, please ,^eep us informed about the workings of the Zoning Committee! And would you, if you can, explain (such as giving examples) the suggested ordinances of this committee. I really could not make heads and tails of this report. Actually, I gave it little thought until I read a letter to the Editor in the Rappahannock News concerning this matter. Then I realized that something was amiss, and ever since I have been frightened. I keep thinking that had this committee’s report been accepted and should my house burn down, I probably would be without a home in my final days as I could not afford to build back according to the size specified by the committee and would find myself living in the zone for tents. Now, Madam Editor, you will not win a popularity contest in reporting to us, and perhaps I shall frequently take issue with you in some of the things you print, but you will be doing us a great service to keep on reporting. You cause us to think! This may not be so good in some respects, but it is good for a democracy. Rah! Rah!

Students are crossing fingers and hoping for a spring vacation. Many are dis cus s ing plans for a real super summer. The “big" question in the minds of numerous Seniors is, “What career will I choose after graduation?” Mr. Biggs of the Virginia Employment Service gave tests to help Seniors find fields in which they might be successful and find personal fulfillment. The results brought happy smiles to many faces. Students accepted at college are; David Palmer, VPI; Tim Kilby, VPI; Virginia Bradford Mary Washington College; Leslie Titchenell, Georgetown College; Linda Beahm, Monroe College of Business; and Frances Dodson will be entering the Marines.

How soon can we expect a cure for cancer? It is a disease of tremendous complexity, yet research gains already made have led some scientists to predict we will see the problem solved within our lifetime. There is reason for this hopeful outlook. Within the short span of 25 years, we have made such progress as this: A drug has been developed in treating a rare type of cancer found in women after pregnancy. It is the first solid tumor ever to respond favorably to chemotherapy. The “Pap’' smear was developed, making it possible to discover uterine cancer cells in an early and curable stage. The mortality rate oi cancer of the uterus, once the most feared of all forms of cancer in women, has dropped 50 per cent in 26 years. At present, there is no preventive or cure for leukemia but the lives of patients are being prolonged with new combinations of drugs, and many scientists believe that cures will be found for this type of cancer sooner than for any other cancer. Hundreds of' scientists in many branches of cancer research are working long hours in laboratories across the country to find new clues to fathom the mysteries of a disease which takes the lives of more jhan 800 Americans a day. The head of one of the largest ’■esearch centers has said, “People think there is a lot of money available for cancel; There really isn’t. Thgre are many things we wish could be done...” This is worth keeping in mind when you are asked to contribute to the American Cancer Society during its annual April Crusade against Cancel} The pace of support for cancer research must be stepped up to bring closer the day of victory.

Security Notes “Many folks think the only reason they should write or call the social security office is to claim payments." remarked Mrs. Hazel F. Daly social security district marf ager in Winchester, Va., in an interview recently. “The truth is,” she continued, “everyone should know first what payments can be made and when to claim them. This is just as important in planning for the future as are health and life insurance.” Thoughtful people now ask, ahead of time, about old-age, survivors, and disability pay ments from social security. They pass the information on td their- depb'ntfents ■ because they realize that the social security taxes they pay are building protection for the future. “While it isn’t always convenient for busy people to take time away from work for a visit to the office,” Mrs. Daly said, “there are many ways to get information about social security. Free booklets are available on request. T h e s e give general information about social security, facts about disability payments, help for self-employed businessmen and farmers, and much more.

1964 Traffic Deaths Total 1950; Increase of 6.2 Percent Over ’fi3 Final official tabulation of Virginia's 1964 traffic deaths stands at 1050, to mar* a 6.2 percent increase over the 989 experienced in 1963 and the second highest toll in the history of the Commonwealth Colonel C. W. Woodson, Jr., Superintendent of State Police and Chairman of the Governor’s Highway Safety Commit tee, announced today. “This marks the fourth consecutive year of increase,” he said, noting that there were. 756 deaths in 1960, 856 in 1961, 974 in 1962. Highest toll was 1.110 in 1941. Five counties, Craig, Dickenson, Greene, Highland and Lunenburg experienced no fatalities. This was the fourth consecutive year for Craig. Forty-four showed increases, 44 decreases and eight recorded the same numbers as in 1963. For the fourth consecutive year, Fairfax led, this time with 54, while Prince William was second with 26. On the basis of deaths per 100 million miles of travel (mileage death rate), Essex, with 10 killed and a rate of 16.5, had the worst rdcord while Bath, with five killed and a rate of 15.2, was second worst. Of the five counties experiencing no deaths, Dickenson was accorded the best record, since more travel was experienced there than in the other deathless counties. Greatest increases were shown by Augusta (10-25), Frederick (8-20) and Northampton (1-10). Notable decreases occurred in Franklin (16-6), Albemarle (28-19) and Henry (18-9). For cities with populations above 50,000, Alexandria had the best record with six deaths and a rate, based on deaths per 100,000 population of 5.9 (Mileage death rates are computed from gas tax receipts. This is impractical in cities). Worst was Chesapeake with 22 deaths and a rate of 25.7. Decreases were noted by Virginia Beach (36-13) and Chesapeake (23-22). Increases occurred in Portsmouth (2-14), Norfolk (26-36) Hampton (12-19), Newport News (19-24), Richmond (2025), Roanoke, (11-14) and Lynchburg (5-9). Alexandria with six, showed no change. Pedestrian deaths throughout the entire state numbered B85, or 25 more than in 1963. Deaths of servicemen rose from 60 to 89, those of bicyclists from 12 to 17 and those at railroad crossings from 14 to 15. The state’s mileage death rate was up from 5.4 to 5.5 and traffic volumes increased 5.1 percent. National average was 5.7. Total crashes rose from 98,816 to 109,296 and 871 of these, as against 820 in 1963, resulted in the deaths of one or more persons each. Injuries increased from 35,309 to 39,171 while economic losses stood at $189 million, an increase of more than $11 million. Non-collision fatal crashes, or those involving contact with no other vehicle, pedestrian or other object in the highway rose from 355 to 358 and killed 419 people. Colonel Woodson noted that the state was again unfortunate in that crashes killing more than one person each increased from 106 which killed 274 in 1963 to 118 killing 297. Six of these killed five people each. Here he explained that the same driver fault can kill as many as happen to be in the involved vehicles and who do nothing to prevent or cause the crashes. Rural deaths were up from 759 to 790 and urban ones from 230 to 260. The percentage of fatal crash es involving drivers known to have been drinking was 33.2 In concluding, Colonel Woodson said that this percentage is most conservative, as all facts are not known in all cases. The best estimates place it as at least 50. In Rappahannock County in 1964 there were 3 traffic fatalities. Mrs. Carol C. Offut of Bethesda, Md. was killed in a two-car collision July 8 near Sperryville; Mrs. Abner Morris Russell of Falls Church was killed September 27 in a two-car crash at the west limits of the Town of Washington. June 28 Mrs. Lucille Porter Grigsby of Steeleton, Pa. died in twovehicle crash in Smedley Hollow near Sperryville. Rappahannock ranks 25 in the state and is rated at 4.5. The rate is deaths per 100 million vehicle miles traveled. Rank is standing among 96 counties with worst rank 96.

Gordon, GM President said today. Of the schools benef iting from the Educational Donations Program during the year 82 were colleges or universities and the remainder were high schools, vocational schools, and other schools, he disclosed. “General Motors has long felt that it should offer assistance to our schools and colleges; that the students of ! today should be as fully informed as possible,* Mr. Gordon said. “The donation of automotive components is but a part of our over-all program aimed toward this end. “At the secondary school level, in addition to the Educa tional Donations Program, we have a cooperative program with GM automobile dealers to provide passenger cars for student driver training programs. “The gifts of automotive components to colleges, universities and secondary schools with either engineering or vocational courses, are a part of our ^attempt to aid in the train ing of students," Mr. Gordon said. During the past year schools received 716 modern auto-* mobile-engines, 517 automatic transmissions, 269 differentials and rear axle assemblies, plus such other com ponents as air conditioners radios, Delcotron generators, power steering units, fuel pumps, power brakes, ignition systems,, and tool6 and fixtures for use by students in acquiring the rudiments of a mechanical education or in completing specific engineering courses in college. During the school year ended August 31, 1964, General Motors automobile dealers .loaned 5,397 driver training cars to high schools throughout the United States. This was 25 per cent more than were loaned under the GMDealer Driver Training Program during the previous school year. Dealers received $1,599,250 in allowances from GM as its share of the cosponsored program. In the twelve month period more than 524,000 young men and women received driving instructions in automobiles provided by Chevrolet, Pontiac Oldsmobile and Buick dealers. As of the start of the current school year ,more than 3,200r 000 students had received driving training in the nine years of the program’s operation. General Motors has paid dealers a total of ,$7,376,937 under the program since its inception. “General Motors also offers educational opportunities to individual students," Mr. Gordon said. Pen 1 w * By Doris Daugherty Planning Year-Round Interest In Home Grounds Planning the garden grounds :o have year-round interest requires careful thought. Viany gardens are beautiful In the spring but not during Jther seasons. Before one can intelligently select plant material for the nome grounds, it is essential to know about available types Df plant material. It is also important to know that plants have various forms and habits of growth and some are outstanding because of ornamental characteristics. Spring flowering bulbs provide color in early spring. Annuals grow from seed, bloom, set seed, and die within one growing season. These plants can supply color from early summer until frost. Biennials require 2 seasons from seed, blooming the second year. Perennials live for more than 3 seasons. Once planted, they require little care. Woody plants are deciduous or evergreen. Deciduous plants drop their leaves before new ones are produced in the spring. Many spring-flowering shrubs and shade trees are deciduous. Evergreens retain their foliage throughout the year. In this group, there are 3 types: broadleaf evergreens include boxwood, magnolia, and hollies; needlelike evergreens include hemlock, pine, and taxus plants; scale-like evergreens include juniper, arborvitae, and chamaecypari8. Ornamental characteristics the homeowner should consider are that plants can be grown for conspicuous flowers colorful bark and fruit, and foliage. When we consider these 4 characteristics a plan for something attractive throughout the year can be developed. In planning a flower border, a combination of border shrubs, small trees, perennials, biennials, annuals, bulbs, and vines can be combined for year-round interest, Large plants are often needed to give scale. Variation of the skyline is possible when material of varying heights is used. Information prepared by Extension Horticulturists, A. S. Beecher and P. L. Smeal.

In some cases many thousands of dollars cash is required to secure the franchise. Richard C. Bricker, director of the paint law and laboratory of the department's division of technical services, today issued a statement concerning paint franchises. He said, “These operators never approach established paint dealers who know the Virginia paint law. Our experiences in some of these cases show that the paint may be good, but the label and advertising material bear misleading claims and outlandish guarantees. The paint may be satisfactory for certain uses, but it is sold to the dealer at a wholesale price much higher than the retail price of comparable or better paints." There are instances where the manufacturer has not registered nor labeled his paint! under the Virginia Paint Law.1 Some manufacturers have not helped the dealer as stated In their agreement. Bricker warns any person approached by a paint manufacturer to demand proof of Virginia registration before signing a contract. If there is any doubt, he requests that the agriculture department's paint section be contacted. Historians tell us about the past and economists tell us about the future. Thus only the present is confusing. Nothing is impossible (if you don’t have to do it yourself). Spring Season Prospects Good Based on the steadily increasing spring gobbler harvest over the past four years of experimental seasons and the general status of the state’s turkey population, the prospects look even better for a highly successful spring sea son in 1965. Last year spring gobbler enthusiasts bagged 403 birds compared to 80 in 1963 and 129 the year previous. Although they will be permitted to hunt in two less counties this year, hunters will have an extra Saturday during the April 24-May 1 season. Turkeys over the entire state showed a marked improvement in hatching success last fall except in the Tidewater section. Kill samples from the rest of the state indicated that 49 to 71 percent of the 1964 fall kill was juvenile birds compared to a kill of 29-67% juveniles over the same area the year Before.
