Scott of Washington, D. C., who bought it about one year ago from Mrs. Mary Hill Ingersoll. Both sales were handled by Edward A. Harris and Associates of Huntly. Mr. Harris explained that the Scotts decided to sell the farm because it was located a little too far out for their purposes. The Henrys, who have two sons, will use Castleton Farms as ayear-aroundhome moving next montn trom Falls Church where Mr. Henry operates his dry-wall construction business. The Henrys also have a 306-acre farm near Rixeyville.

RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia; TELEPHONE: WASHINGTON *75-3343 MRS. SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Entered as 2nd Class Mail at the Post Office at Washington, Va. 'Subscription Rate (In Advance): $2.50 per year in Rappahannock and adjacent counties; $3.00 elsewhere._ EXTRA - - EXTRA By Ed_ A few weeks ago I received an Air Mail letter from Sperryville...unbelievable, but true. And just prior to that I received an air mail letter from the Metropolitan area. If you use an air mail envelope, and though you scratch out the words “via air mail" and the red and blue edging printed thereon, put a 5 cent stamp on it and mail it only 6 miles distance, the recipient has to pay an additional 3 cents to get it out of the post office. Any letter sent in an air mail envelope requires 8 cents postage u It doesn't weigh over an ounce. Postage increases, of course with weight. Remember— don’t send it air mail unless you mean it... there are not many flights between Sperryville and Washington, Va. Around here, that’s for the birds. The Glaenzers returned home Saturday after spending several weeks in New Brunswick, N. J., and with them brought this story. Upon Mrs. Glaenzer’s arrival there in her car (the Rev. drove the Rambling Rectory), she stopped at an intersection to inquire of a policeman the direction to College Avenue. The officer, a man of unmistakable Italian descent, walked around to the- front of the car and looked at her license tag, then assuming an appropriate drawl said, "Well, youall see that railroad bridge there; youall go there and turn left and youall will be right on it." Hardly able to contain her fit of glee, Bobby thanked the man and drove on. r JOne good story always brings to mind another one. This came from a county school teacher who had been having a terrible time with a little boy using profane language at school and on the bus. In desperation, she had the child wash his mouth out with soap. When he thought he had had enough and wanted to stop, she insisted on another mouthful. In a monotone he uttered an oath and said, “*/!%#, what's she trying to do, bleach me.' Bill Lyne tells this one which happened to Ike Eller, BCIA secretary, enroute to Rappahannock from Blacksburg at the time of the twin astronaut’s flight. Mr. Eller stopped at a restaurant for lunch and in making friendly conversation with the waitress he asked, “How is Gemini getting along?” The waitress replied, “Sorry I don’t know the guy.” Deputy Ernest Lillard, who is also custodian of the local jail, has a German police dog which he plans to train for criminal work. On one occasion, I had been up to the jail on business and the dog playfully nipped at the back of my legs when I walked through the yard. I wondered then if it could be successfully trained. Well the dog has proven itself, and really turned out to be a “police dog* of high calibre, for it recently took a bite out of a visiting sergeant of the State Police Department, pants, undies and skin. The extension of telephone service and elimination of toll charges between Sperryville, Culpeper and Madison is quite nice and a big step forward. However, I’m still rooting for additional elimination of tolls. With the toll eliminations, I am able to call from my home in Amissville to the sheriff in Sperryville, a distance of some 18 miles, when, as a Justice of the Peace, I have business to transact with him. As a newspaper Editor, I may call from my home, toll free, to the newspaper office in Madison, about 40 miles. But. . . I Auction Sale Of the Contents of Four Homes . .

Stopped and interviewed by police in Illinois upon complaints from neighbors that he was driving at night without lights, an 85-year-old man had a few surprises. He hadn’t had a driver’s license for 10 years and hadn’t purchased license plates since 1946 for his 1914 Ford. He then presented a safe driving certificate received from an insurance comJ pany in 1961.

So far in ’65 no such acclaim can be made. Come see and watch our flower bed located beside our new quarters. I call it a lazy man’s flower garden as weeds are held under control by a plastic cover covered lightly with pine tags for beautification purposes. The flower plants are from that gracious lady, Mrs. William Williamson of Woodville; the plastic, which was donated by Alphaeus Cannon of Castleton, was too worn for a silo cover but satisfactory to use as a mulch substitute for controlling weeds and conserving moisture. George Williams, Associate Extension Horticulturist, will be on call from now through the remainder of the spray period. In visiting orchards yesterday several were found to be heavily infested with mites. Recommended for controlling this insect pest is a combination of 1 1/2 lbs. Kelthane and Tedion @ 1 pt. Captan @ 1 lb./100 is also most important for controlling laste summer diseases. You orchardist wanting to see George Williams let us know by noon on Thursday.

Marsh Urges Surplus Priority For Community Volunteer Fire Companies Rep. John O. Marsh, Jr.(D., Va.), urged a Congressional committee today to give volunteer fire departments and rescue squads the same priority in acquiring surplus federal equipment as now enjoyed by certain other public and nonprofit private public service groups. Marsh, who represents the Seventh Virginia Congression al District, testified at a hearing before the Special Committee on Donable Property of the House Committee on Government Operations. The committee is considering bills by Marsh and others which would broaden the classification of organizations, public and private, eligible to receive surplus items by dqi)a•tiort. • : •' !l/' The Virginia legislator emphasized that he had no 'pride of authorship" on the language of his own bill and was appearing as “interested only in providing, as a matter of simple justice, to these fine community organizations, dedicated to the public safety the same priority consideration in the disposition of su* plus material as the Congress in its judgment, has assigned in existing law to certain other groups eminently worthy of re ceiving such surplus items for Mrs. Hisle Breaks Hip in Fall Mrs. Sadie Hisle of Amissville sustained a broken hip when she fell last Wednesday and is a patient in Winchester Memorial Hospital.

He said he had received a letter from UI1C t»UCll U1C [JiCVlUUB day, and he quoted it to the committee, in part, as follows; “Sir, we are not entirely broke, but it keeps all the nterrr. bers pretty busy making enough money to operate our obsolete equipment. We are not asking for a handout, but we are advised that you might be able to help us secure 6ome firefighting equipment at the price we can afford.

Now we have only two trucks left. “We are truly in the market for a truck, and our men have been fighting these fires in street clothes, so we need some turnout gear, chemox masks and any type of extinguishers.* Marsh told the committee that, while he could advise such volunteer fire departments how to bid at sales of federal surplus property, he thought they should be included among those groups eligible for donation of such property when it was clear the items would be used in the interest of the general public.

Ralph G. Roop, chairman of the petro leum organization said that the 1963 per vehicle tax burden for the state showed an increase of $34 over the comparable figure of five years earlier. He pointed out that the highway-user taxes include such items as state motor vehicle registration fees, the federal levies on automobiles, tires, tubes, tread rubber and lubricating oil, and — most importantly -- the state and federal taxes on motor fuel. The present state levy on gasoline is seven cents a gallon, he added, while the federal rate is four cents a gallon. State and federal taxes paid by Virginia highway users in 1963 totaled $249,371,000, of which $133,487,000 represented state levies, Roop said. Motor fuel tax receipts alone accounted for 77 per cent of the state total. Virginia derives a higher percentage of state highway-user taxes from motor vehicle levies than any other state in the nation, Roop added. The national average is 55 per cent. Every 6tate in the nation registered increases in the level of highway-user taxes between 1958 and 1963, Roop noted. He said 1963 is the latest year for which statistics are available.

Beside the Cab Inn, Sperryville From The I .Home Agent’d Pen By Doris Daugherty Lighting the Home Some folks are keeping pace with the latest kitchen equipment, automobiles, and furniture styles... but are back in the Model T days when it comes to lighting their homes! Mrs. Mildred A. Payne, home economist at Virginia Tech, says we’ve come a long way from the single drop cord in the center of each room, but some people still give their children a squatty 50 watt lamp, or a gooseneck lamp for the study table. Light serves two main purposes in the home... decorative and functional. The most important of these is the functional purpose. Perhaps our most important lighting problem is to have a good lamp by which each member of the family can read. By a good lamp, I mean a light of quality as well as quantity. It’s important to have enough light - at least 100 watts for close work - but this isn't enough. This light should be free from glare and harsh shadows. The shade and what’s under it becomes very important. You can easily spend $50 for a single lamp and still not have a good lamp by which to read. The shade of a good reading lamp should be broad enough at the bottom to spread light over a large area. The inside should be light enough to reflect light from the bulb. The shade should be open at the top to direct some light upward for general lighting. It shoufd be deep enough to cover the source of the light... that is, the bulb. The shade should also be dense enough to prevent glare from the bulb through the shade. Also needed is a way to diffuse the light. The best diffusion is given by a CLM diffusing bowl. This is milkcolored glass bowl shaped like an old fashioned spittoon. The design shields the bulb from top viewing. Inside this, the lamp should be equipped with a 50/150 watt or a 100/300 watt 3 way bulb. In recent years bulb manufacturers have designed inside coated or soft-white indirect bulbs which are very effective. The R-40 or mushroom shaped bulb is designed to direct two-thirds of the light downward and one-third upward. A wide harp is necessary for this bulb. The newer and smaller sight saving bulbs are also very effective in diffusing light. A plastic diffusing disc is sometimes used for this purpose. Diffusion, whether from a diffusing bowl or from a sight-saving bulb, prevents harsh shadows and glare and gives a soft, pleasing sightsaving light.

Synthetic vanilla may give an off-flavor to frozen cake. Keep eggs cold at all times. Ups and downs in temperature cause egg whites to become thin. Keep your tomato plants well watered during dry periods. The U. S. Department of Agriculture suggests you water whenever it hasn’t rained for a week or 10 days. Then, be sure you water well... until the soil is moistened 12 to 18 inches down or more. It’s best, says scientists at USDA’s Agricultural Research Service, to use furrow type irrigation in vegetable gardens if the soil is not too sandy. Make a 2 to 3 inch furrow between the rows and run water slowly from garden hose until soil is thoroughly soaked. Individual plants can be watered directly from a hose laid on the ground. Build a ridge of soil around the tomato plant... about 18 inches in radius and 2 to 3 inches high. Let the water from the hose trickle in. Fill three to four times. Sufficient water is especially important during July and August when the plants are full of fruit... and there may be little rainfall.

The Virginia Beef Cattlemens Association has been holding a series of meetings with Feeder Calf Sale groups. Martin F. Strait, Executive Secretary of Virginia Beef Cattlemens Assn, ana urani Moffett, Supv. Market Expansion Section Virginia Department of Agriculture met recently with representatives from the Orange, Madison, Culpeper and Rappahannock Sales to explain approaches to a ‘Check-Off" system for cattle producers as follows: 1. First is by requesting an Enabling Act from the State Legislature which provides permission for the cattle industry to hold a referendum to decide if a check-off syssystem is desired by those engaged in the industry. Two thirds of those eligible and voting must vote for the check off system for it to be accepted. 2. The other alternative procedure is to request the State Legislature to pass a lawleving so much tax on each head of cattle sold. If this passed, it would be administered as any other tax law. The law could be written 60 as to describe the kind of cattle to be taxed and the amount to be collected. Listed below are some of the advantages and disadvantages of each procedure: 1. Enabling Act plus Referendum Advantages 1. Less political 2. More acceptable to producers because they have an opportunity to decide themselves. 3. If program i6 not successful, it can be discontinued. 4. Less difficult to enforce collections. Disauvamages 1. More costly because referendum must be paid for by Association. 2. Referendum must be held periodically and must be paid for by the commission. 3. Program could be discon tinued by the referendum vote which would probably be held each 5 years. This may have an adverse influence on some full-time employees and put some "ifs" on long range programs. II. State Law - tax program ( similiar to Virginia State Apple Commission Act. ) Advantages 1. Less costly for inauguration of check-off system. 2. Would be more permanent in that it would remain in effect unless a referendum was requested, held, and voted out. (a) More acceptable to fulltime employees. (b) More dependable for plan ning long-range programs. Disadvantages 1. More political and less likely to pass. 2. Less palatable to producers because it becomes another tax passed by the Legislature. 3. Difficult to discontinue if this becomes desirable for any reason. 4. Would expect collections to be more difficult. There are other possible procedures for Virginia Cattlemen to broaden their present self-help programs. The two outlined are the only ones that have received consideration by. the special committee of the Board. Regardless of the procedure, enabling act plus referendum or a state tax law, the decisions as to what kind of cattle will be covered and the amount to be collected must be made. Also a program for the use of the money collected must be developed In detail. Following are some of the advantages and disadvantages of limiting the check-off to feeder cattle only: Advantages 1. Less change from present scope of operation. 2. Less difficult to carryout referendum. 3. Less difficult to plan a program that would please those contributing. 4. Less difficult to get referendum passed. Disadvantages 1. The IOC per head alonej would not return sufficient! funds to finance even the present programs. 2. The 25C per head may cause opposition. There would be s o me question if referendum would pass. 0. rnis program would require the promotional agency ( Virginia Beef Cattle Association ) to promote and advertise all feeder cattle with equal emphasis regardless of method sold. This could tend to de-emphasize the producer organized and sponsored sales unless some procedure is devised for continued extra promotion for these special sales. 4. Difficult to collect since would require many decisions on differentiating between feed ers and non-feeders. Following are some of the advantages and disadvantages of a check-off system on alii cattle and calves except dairy' cows and heifers not for slaugt* ter: Advantages 1. This is more feasible to pass than 25C per head on feeder cattle and will provide a larger income than IOC per head on feeder cattle only. 2. Provide an opportunity to broaden the scope of activities of the Virginia Beef Cat tie Association. 3. Provide the resources for more fully promoting all segments of the beef cattle business within the State. This should result in the development of all phases of the beef cattle business within the state with the consequent increased demand for feeder cattle. 4. The program of collection would be easier to carry out since there would be no problems of decision on whether the check off applied or did not. Disadvantages 1. Referendum would involve more people, consequently more costly. 2. Could require re-organization of the Virginia Beef ! Cattle Association to represent all segments contributing to the program. 3. Would require more coordination to keep various segments satisfied. 4. Possibly would be more difficult to get a favorable vote since some of those eligible to vote are not familiar with organization and activities as to the advantages they would enjoy. ' While I didn't get official results of questionaires circulated among producers, I gathered most favored getting the Legislature to pass a law leving a tax; that many, prehaps most, favored such a scheme. Cattlemen Be on The Alert. There is much to be considered and ironed out. Results of such an endeavor will be proportionate to the abilities of the man at the helm and his advisors or commissioners. For sure cattlemen of organized feeder sale groups have been carrying the Virginia Beef Cattle Promotion and Legislative (National) Burden. Their results having been shared equally all feeder producers no matter whether they sold privately or through local auctions. Also the Feeder Calf Sales through their 50(5 per calf promotions have benefited the dairyman’s value of cull cows by helping to block competitive beef imports.

Health, Safety Tips: ‘The big problem in dia-' betes control today is the detection of the disease in persons who have diabetes and are unaware of it," said Dr. W. R. Southward, Jr., Director, Division of Disease Control, Virginia State Department of Health. "Diabetes is primarily a disease of persons over forty and as our population ages, it will probably become more prevalent. Unless special efforts are made at detecting it early before the illness can cause complications, many unknown diabetics run the risk of developing such illnesses as hardening of the arteries, serious infeetions, and damage to various organs. The hidden two-fifths of our diabetic population can live full and satisfying lives by early detection and simple treatment. Diagnosis is very easy and inexpensive." Dr. Southward stated that the Virginia State Health Department uses three methods to assist in finding unknown diabetics. “First, we offer a test to our patients in the various clinics in our local health departments. Since these are often older people, we find a surprisingly large number of diabetics in this group. “Second, we participate in mass screening programs in various communities that are* having fairs, or x-ray surveys, or special educational exhibits. This method has also been very helpful, not only in detecting the unknown diabetic but in bringing back to the physician those known diabetics who have strayed off their diet or medication. “Third, we encourage all private physicians and cooperate with them in testing patients in their offices. Numerous physicians are utilizing the screening blood sugar tests offered by the State Health Department.” Dr. Southward concluded by saying there are certain groups in our population that are prone to develop the illness; “Persons with diabetic history in their family; persons over forty years of age; Feeder Sales State Associa-I tion. 9 Who and where are the Colonels?

These symptoms are; excessive thirst, frequent urination, mmmmwwwmmmmm m'm wrm hunger, loss of weight, constant fatigue, and itchiness.: “One should never accept these symptoms as being normal or associate them with advancing age." The program for the detection of diabetes currently used by the Virginia State Department of Health is described in full in the June 1965 issue of the Virginia Health Bulletin. <'vv£*-A£vgO.

Mystery hides in the mountain, Hovers over the campfire, Covers the cave with his rifle; Berries and deer for his hunger. Alone in what deep of that shadow, A match for the dark. What exile in his youth and strength, What vagabond, king or rebel, What peon or son of the river, Feasts in the firelight And silently keeps watch? Mystery covers the mountain, Covers the e«v€ and the hollow. What fire in the heart of that blueness, Fire struck from stone, Turns granite to gold? Silver sheets of falling raindrops. Rain in the hollows; Silver tear-drops in the tree-tops, Fall in veins of light. Floating vapor, and fleeting fog, Billowing mists on the mountain; Silver streaks of shining raindrops, Fall in veins of light. —Lucy Wood Social Secwrity Notes When should I apply for oldage insurance benefits under social security? Is a question frequently asked. This question cannot be answered without knowing all the facts in each case. Mr8. Hazel F. Daly, District Manager for Social Secu rity in Winchester, Va. states that many people do not apply for their social security bene fits at the most advantageous time because they fail to obtain the proper information. For most people, age 65 is a good time to think about applying for benefits. People no longer able to work, or who do not wish to continue working full time, may apply as early as age 62. Retirement benefits at age 62 are lower than they would be at age 65; but in most cases approximately 12 years would elapse before any financial loss would occur. Age 65 can be the proper time for many people to apply for old-age insurance benefits. A substantial majority are no longer working full time after age 65 and, since their incomes are sharply reduced, they find that the social security checks help in paying their basic living expenses. Mrs. Daly says everyone who is 65 years old should Inquire at the social security office about filing a claim, even though he is still working full time. If the claim is filed then and the applicant later retires, it is a simple matter to start the benefits because all the paperwork will have been previously completed. Everyone 72 years old who has worked under social security and has never applied for benefits should do so at once. Social security checks may be paid to anyone 72 years of age or older who has enough work covered by the law, regardless of his current earnings. However, payments do not begin unless an application has been filed. Information on social security obtained from relatives or friends is not always reliable, no matter how wellintentioned.
