August 4th Marks Anniversary Of Town of Washington Survey August 4th marks the 216th anniversary of the surveying of the Town of Washington according to information on the Town Marker on Cay Street. To commemmorate this the Town Council invites all citizens and friends to a Town meeting at the Library at 8 p.m. (afterwards you will have plenty of time to attend the^ firewords display in Flint Hill Research information for this marker was compiled by the late F. Clyde Baggarly and published in a pamphlet entitled “The History of the Town of Washington, VirginiaJ The First of them All.* “Landon published, what he represents to be a verified copy of the survey made, by Washington of the Barnes land in the County of Culpeper, and also referred to the plat of the survey as published by) Sparks. In connection therewith he makes particular reference to an entry in Washington’s handwriting pre served with his miscellaneous papers, in which Washington after referring to the Richard Barnes survey as having been made on the 22nd day of July, 1749, continued his field record as follows: “On the second day thereafter, accompanied by John Lonem and Edward Corder, I journey-i ed one half day in a north western direction trom hairfax and in the Blue Ridge mountains in Culpeper County I laid off a town.’ The reference *on the second day thereafter’ is particularly significant in this connection as the calendar for the year 1749 discloses that the 20th day of July, the date on which. Washington qualified as (Surveyor for the county of Culpeper, was Thursday. The Library — (Continued from Page 1) each. The Orange Bookmobile and the Virginia Museum ArtMobile were important contributions to the intellectual and cultural climate of Rappahannock. Hundreds of fine books, including expensive reference works have been contributed by people here and from as far away as Baltimore. The Board is plan ning new and interesting projects for the Fall and Winter. A new sign has been prepared by “Doc" Daugherty of Front Royal and donated by him to the Library. Library hours are from 10 to 12:00 on Saturdays and 2:00 to 5:00 on Wednesdays. It is expected when the volunteer training course is finished additional hours will be provided. Have you stopped by for a good book for summer reading? What about your childrens’ reading program? Barnes survey of 400 acres discloses it was completed, within a reasonable time there, after for a survey of this acre age, on the 22nd day of July which fell on Saturday. Washinton’s field notes referring to the Barnes survey, followed by the entry “on the second day thereafter accounts for the intervening day of Sunday July 23, 1749, which day a man of Washington’s religious teachings would necessarily have observed before his one-half day journey on Monday, for the purpose of laying off a town in the Blue Ridge mountains. Consistent with the above entry, the reader’s attention is particularly directed to the fact that the town of Wash ington was and is “in a north western direction from Fairfax (now Culpeper) and in the Blue Ridge Mountains in Culpeper (now Rappahannock County." Washingon is twenty six miles from the then Fair fax and now town of Culpeper, just such distance as would necessarily have required Washington and his two associates one-half daytonegoti ate on horse-back, the only convenient means of travel during this period of the eighteenth century. Ij is without question and an undenied fact that Washington, Virginia, was and is only town in the Blue Ridge Mountains, of the then c,uxpeper county ana now nappahannock County, that is surveyed, platted and laid off in lots, streets and boundaries. In further support of the fact that George Washington, with the assistance of John Lonem and Edward Corder as chairmen, surveyed and platted the Town of Washington, Virginia on Monday the 24th day of July 1749, there is now preserved a plan of the town that was found in 1847 among the records of the Fairfax surveys and grants which purports to be, andfrom every appearance is the original as made by George Washington. This plan which is in fairly good state of preservation, contains not only the original bdundaries, but the lot numbers are easily discerned and the names of the streets are clearly legible; Skipping the next paragraph on page 10 we continue to qupte, “Going back to the Barnes survey completed and platted on July 22, 1749, the readers attention is also directed to an entry made by Washington in his Cash Book, on the 25th day of July, 1749 acknowledg ing the receipt of two pounds and three shillings as payment for this survey. This is particularly significant as the da layed payment of several days is consistent with the facts herein disclosed and accounted for by reason of Washington's absence from Fairfax now Culpeper, while survey. ing the town of Washington, Va, Elsewhere on page 19 it is explained the difference in dates as follows, quote, “All dates herein referred to prior to Sept. 3, 1752 are consistent with the old or Julian calendar in effect previous to that time In order to determine a date prior to 1752 under the present calendar, it is necessary to add thereto eleven days. Several years ago Mrs. Clyde Baggarly (recently deceased) had recorded in the Clerk’s office of Rappahannock County in Deed Book 36 the plat and survey of the Town of Washington thought by her husband to be the original., On page 10 he states and I quote, "If this old plan is not actually the original it is with out question a copy of the' same as experts have identified the Daoer on which ir is drawn, from it’s texture and I finish, as having been manufactured prior to the year 1750. ’ Residents of the Town of Washington who claim direct relationships to the members of the surveying party are Mrs. Mattie Ball Fletcher who is connected with George Wash ington through the Ball family and Mrs. Bertha Armel,Town Council member, who is direct ly descended from Edward Corder the chainman.

Labeling Laws Save Lives A law passed last year by the Virginia General Assembly may be making grass cutting a little bit more trouble. But the Virginia Hazardous Household Substances Law is probably saving children from injury or death, according to the Virginia Department of Agriculture. Apparently many people don’t understand the reasons behind the law which has caused them some inconveniences. The law requires that a warning label appear on any flammable, toxic or caustic product suitable or intended for household use. Labels must list the common name of the product and specific warnings for that product. The trouble lies with dealers who have no such labels. They must refuse to sell gasoline, kerosene or similar items in SIDEWALK SALE 29 JJ 3, MANY BOOKS 19« - 29* - 39c - 49c - 98* 49« - 99c 2-4 Drawer Files, reg. *54.Sale *42-00 DESKS — CHAIRS — ADDING MACHINES 20% off ^ Several PORTABLE TYPEWRITERS 1 for *5-00 -1 for *10-00 -1 for *25-00 -1 for *35-00 Culpeper Book Store 210 N.

Report of Virginia Highway Needs . Richmond — Secondary high ways are “the most important roads in the State to a large percentage of Virginia’s population and must receive continuing improvements to render the services needed and demanded by the citizenry,” the State Highway Commission says in a new report. The report, unveiled in Richmond last Thursday, outlines the need for basic improvements to all Virginia road systems between 1966 and 1975 The key finding: Virginia’s highway program for all systems will require $329 million more during the nine-year period than will be available from existing revenue sources. This sum will be required to provide a “tolerable” road network for 1 97 5 use, Commissioner Douglas B. Fugate said. The total revenue gap includes $93 million for the secondary program, $158 miF lion for the arterial system and other primary highways,9 and $78 million for the urban program. The State's plan for improving secondary roads will total $760 million between 1966 and 1975. Of the sum, $667 million is expected to be avail ame. | However, Commissioner! Fugate said, the additional! $93 million will be required if the plan is to be carried out as scheduled — and as needed. The secondary system consists of 41,620 miles — four-i fifths of Virginia’s total higfr way mileage. As of January 1, the system included only 563 miles of unsurfaced roads. These were dead-end routes or facilities with extremely low traffic counts and serving only two or three dwellings. However, traffic volumes on the secondary roads are increasing steadily, and the roads are carrying a greater volume of heavy trucks. Growing industrialization and urbanization have brought about a considerable change in secondary highway requirements. “The consolidation of farm operations, schools, etc., is resulting in the use of a greater number of large trucks and tractor-trailers for the delivery of necessary supplies and the movement of farm and timber products and minerals to market," the Commission’s report said. In 1946, vehlclesonthe secondary system traveled a total of 2,205,524 miles. The latest estimate for 1965 places this travel now at 7,128,285 miles. “This increased traffic has naturally caused a rise in the cost of maintenance and will continue to require higher standards as to grades and curvature, wider pavements, higher type bases and bridges of greater width and capacity. “With more traffic utilizing the secondary system, needed services are becoming much more critical," the report said, •School bus routes are on nearly all of these roads and involve travel during the fall, winter and spring months, when highway maintenance problems are at their greatest The modern automobile and truck are such that they no longer can be safely and successfully operated unless all roads are given the highest maintenance possible, including rapid snow removal and the restoration of damages caused by adverse weather conditions. “The secondary system is increasingly requiring the same type considerations with regard to maintenance as are given the primary and interstate systems." The report noted, too, that changes in traffic patterns brought about by the interstate highways are having an unusual effect upon the secondary roads in and near interchanges. “Businesses are springing up, people are moving further from the towns, and all of the surrounding areas are using these connector secondary roads as a means of ingress to and egress from the interstate system. “This is requiring the rebuilding of a number of these routes to extremely high standards." In the new study, the minimum desirable requirements for secondary roads were drawn in keeping with the highway agency’s long-standing goals to accomplish the following: (1 ) A hard surface of width and strength adequate for traffic volumes served on all roads carrying 50 or more vehicles a day. (2) An all-weather stone or gravel surface on all roads carrying 10 to 50 vehicles a day. (3) A light stone or gravel surface on all roads carrying less than 10 vehicles daily. (4) Bringing all bridges of less than 10-ton capacity up to standard. Currently, there are some 3,46 8 miles of secondary roads, with 50 or more vehicles a day, which have not yet been surface-treated. It's estimated that 4,24 7 miles more will become eligible for hard-surface by 1975, because of their growing use. The report also covered Virginia's other highway systems. Briefly, these include the following: Arterial, other primary roads — A total of $833 million has been estimated to be necessary to bring these highways up to “very minimum standards, adequate for 1975 traffic.’ This figure includes some $473 million needed for development of the 1,738-mile arterial network of multi-lane, divided highways. The arterial network, approved by the 1964 General Assembly, is designed to serve communities not directly served by the interstate system. Revenue for this and other primary routes is expected to amount to $560 million from existing sources in the 1966-75 period. In addition, $40 million is expected from the federal Appalachian program to supplement the cost of rebuilding primary routes in Southwest Virginia. The Highway Commission also anticipates another $75 million in federal funds after the interstate system financing has been completed in 1972. Thus, funds totaling $675 million are expected to be available. Against needs totaling $833 million, there’s a gap of $158 million. The urban system —Costs for normal urban Construction projects by 1975 will amount to $200 million, and an estimated $182 million will be needed for urban expressways. Normal urban funds during the period are estimated at $154 million, and an added $150 million is estimated to be forthcoming in federal funds after 1972 for expressways. Thus, the gap amounts to $78 million. In its report, the Highway Commission said, “Rising costs, an expanding economy and ever-increasing traffic volumes keep the State’s highway obligations spiraling." To provide a transportation system totally adequate for Virginia’s needs now and by 1975 * would be virtually impossible from a financial standpoint at this time. The type of highways engineers would like to provide and one the citizens of the Commonwealth deserve would be many times more costly than the plan presented in this report.* Growth in population, industry and travel have added urgency to the need for completing the minimum improvements outlmed in -the nineyear plan, the Commission said. •Virginia is faced with a challenge that has become more demanding and more potentially rewarding.

The Department offer* it to one can predict price* and be right farmer* with the warning that no all the time.) Hogs The current bonanza in hog prices has apparently reached its seasonal peak. Some weaknesses in prices are expected but not as much as usually experienced during late summer because of several favorable factors. Hogs coming to market during the next few weeks— based on farrowings four to six months earlier—are indicated to be about 10 per cent less than during the same time last year. Cold storage holdings of pork on July 1 were reported at 47 per cent below a year earlier and 23 per cent below the five year average. Demand for pork has remained good reflecting a continuing strong economy, but evidences are appearing here and there of some consumer resistance to high retail prices. A somewhat higher figure than the 8 per cent decrease farmers reported for their 1965 fall pig crop is likely because of the good corn crop indicated and a favorable corn i hog ratio. Prices last week at St. Louis were $24.00-$24.60, Chicago $24.50-$25.25, Richmond $24.50-$25.00, and Southeast Virginia $23.75-$24.50. Corn Corn prices are expected to continue at about present levels until the new crop comes to market. North Carolina corn should begin appearing on Virginia markets in the next two or three weeks. The first corn production forecast for the U. S. on July 1 estimated 3.9 billion bushels about 10 per cent above last year and 2 per cent above the five year average. Adding this to the projected carryover of corn next October 1 -- down about 26 per cent from last year--puts the total supply at a little over 5 billion bushels, just a shade under last year’s supply. Prospects in Virginia are unusually good this year with the July 1 forecast of grain production of over 35 million bushels up 25 per cent, from last year--a result of record high yields and larger acreage expected to be harvested for grain. Prices last week for No. 2, yellow shelled corn were $1.30 $1.40 in the Northern Neck, $1.37-$1.40 at Norfolk, $1.50$1.56 in the Shenandoah Valley, $1.36 at Richmond, $1.45 at Baltimore, and $1.32 1/2 at Chicago.

Virginia Business June Summary The first six months of 1965 were good months for business in Virginia. For the cumulative period, January thru Jun^i all city indices showed gains over the same period in 1964. June, in general, can be classified as a good month but a decline in new car registrations and a weakness in retail sales must be noted. New car registrations for June 1965 were down 3.6% in comparison to June 1964. This represents a notable drop when compared to M ay’s figures which were approximately 33% ahead of May, 1964. Retail sales for June were up 3.6% for the state. However six of the sixteen cities registered declines in the June 1965-June 1964 comparison.” Mrs. Browning Hostess To Bridge Club Mrs. John S.

Library Lines Among the books recently donated to your Library by Mrs. C. Edward Westerman of Annandale, is a little book that brings instant delight to anyone who loves children and their books. “The History of Little Goody Two Shoes*, as it is called, is known as the first book of fiction written V solely for the entertainment of children. * ’Although it has never been proven, Oliver Goldsmith is believed to have written it, but the man who is famous for its publication is John Newberry, an English publisher and bookseller. He recognized that children had special interests and tried to meet them by publishing a whole series of books especially for them. They were bound in 'flowery gilt", a gay paper, and cheap enough so the ordinary person could buy them. The Newberry Medal, an award given each year to the author of the most distinguished contribution to American children’s literature published the preceding year, bears his name. The first “Goody Two Shoes” was published in England in > 1765 and from this beginning stems all of the wonderful world of children’s literature today. The copy now in our library was printed in 1930, but has John Newberry's original dedication: "To all young gentlemen and ladies, who are V good or intend to be good . The story begins; “All the world must allow that Two Shoes was not her real name;" No--this is the story of Margery Meanwell and why she was called “Two Shoes" is for you to discover when you come to the library and read her story.

As the high cost and scarcity of labor continue to plague farmers and as the growing need for farmers to cut operating costs and to increase efficiency, there is an ever increasing trend toward the electrification of the operations of the farm and home. Even though virtually all of the occupied farms of the nation now have electric servicej the great increase in electrification of farm chores has caused a high percentage of farm wiring systems to become overloaded. The situation is serious enough even in areas that have received serjvice in recent years, where the wiring systems are {relatively new. In most instances where farms have [been electrified for over 20 {years rewiring is essential for efficient use of modern farm equipment. Electricity is an old, willing and able hand on most farms and in most homes, but sometimes it can’t give its best. Circuit breaders trip and fuses blow for no apparent reason; lights blink when motors start, or dim when motor - driven equipment is running; he a t i n g appliances and equipment are slow to reach proper temperature or Brighten Up and Protect Your Home with Sherwin-Williams A-IOO* LATEX HOUSE PAINT The Greatest Advance in House Paint in 50 Years!

When these things happen to you, don’t blame the electrical equipment. It’s probably giving all it can on a starvation diet of electricity. Checkyour wiring system first. Chances are that it is suffering from two very common ailments: low voltage and lack of circuit capacity. These conditions didn’t arrive overnight. They have been building up over the months or years while you have been adding electrical equipment to your wiring system. Now it is overloaded, It is being asked to shoulder a much heavier electrical load than that for which it was originally intended. Most farm wiring systems, like Topsy, just grew. As the use of electricity spreadfrom the home to all other buildings many wiring systems,unfortunately, failed tokeepstet with this expansion. Too often we still see wiring system^ that meander to and throujj) the home and other building on haphazard journeys of du> mirushing voltage. Electricity is wasted and operational eefficiency of machines is reduced. $ The importance of planning for future expansion in the interior wiring of individual farm buildings should never be underemphasized. Important as this is, the careful planning of the exterior wiring and service equipment is of even greater importance. In 1930, a three wire, 60ampere service was consider ed adquate for most farms, even in dairy regions. Today, the development of new equip ment has reached the point where many farmers are finding a 200-ampere service inadequate. All too frequently the farmer and urban home owner are finding it necessary to make extensive and costly changes in their wiring systems when they desire to add to the electrical equipment. This i6 especially true for heavy-duty units and those appliances which operate at 230 volts. Whether a particular wiring problem involves changing erf existing service and feeders, or the wiring of a new or remodeled building, or even the 11 --- ■ — complete wiring of a farm that is about to receive service, certain' basic recommendations must be considered. The basic requirements of a well-planned farm wiring system are that it shall be safe, convenient, adequate, easily expanded and efficient. The first requirement, safety, will be satisfied by compliance with the National Electrical Code. The others depend upon careful planning. A wiring system, whether new or modified, should be planned and installed with out lets conveniently located for the use of modern electrical equipment. The distribution system of services, feeders and branch circuits should deliver current at proper voltage It should be a system to which changes and additions can be made easily and at a minimum expense. If it is so designed it will meet the requirements of adequacy and easy expansion and> consequently, the requirements of over-all economy. An inadequate electrical sys tern is dangerous and out of step with the practices of National Farm Safety.

From The ) Home Agent’d By Doris Dauchprtv Shopping for Ironing Board I'oday’s homemaker may shop for an ironing board only two or three times in her life, says Miss Amelia Fuller, home economist at Virginia Tech. Some homemakers still use the same board they started with many years ago, but such equipment lacks many of the labor saving features of newer models. When shopping for an ironing board: Look for stability. Ask to see the table opened to positions in which you are likely tq^u&e iLft_horjie. FeeL the tabl<*wlAnnf is. Injjbswiolr to see if it is firm. Open and close the ironing board while in the store to see if it is easy to move into place. Note the adjustment levers. Most -irbning tables today are adjustable. This makes the board adjustable to different persons, as well as for standing or sitting while working with it. Be sure the lever holds tightly to positions you desire. Left-handed persons should look for a table that has a lever on both sides. Check the locking device. When folding the ironing board for storage, it is important that it stay folded. Unless it does, there is danger of the board causing an accident by unfolding at the wrong time, Choose a well-fitted pad anc cover. Manufacturers usually make pads and covers to fit their models. Also available is a one-in-all cover and pad. The cover of silicone is said to be scorch and stain resistant, and reflects heat. The pad is made of foam which is absorbent and resilient. When To Fertilize Lawns When is the best time to fertilize lawns? The answer depends on where you live. In cool climates, that is, the north-middle part of the country, fall is the best time— early September through early October, in the Northernmost part late August and early September. Follow this with a light application in the spring as soon as you can get on the grass and it s not boggy. 1 dte Slouttfelri-fialr of the coiintry, where lots of the bermuda and zoysiagrass is grown, you can fertilize in the spring and throughout surr> mer.

Culpeper, Va. 825-8084 Health, Safety Tips: Myopic Eye The nearsighted or myopic eye is usually longer than the average normal eyeball. Rays of light from a distant object focus in front of the retina, or seeing coat inside fhe eye, instead of on it. Vision for Inear objects is clear but distant objects are blurred, j There is no cure for nearjsightedness. Glasses usually ! will correct the problem and permit relatively normal vision. Kven in healthy children, nearsightedness usually increases during the most active growing period because the eyes also grow larger. After full growth is attained there is usually no further reduction in vision for distance. Todays H e a 11 h , the magazine of the American Medical Association, says that activities that are good for the normally sighted child are good for the healthy myopic childplenty of fresh air, routine play and exercise to the point of normal fatigue, working in well-lighted rooms and eat ing a sound diet. Some cases of myopia are seriously progressive and may h e associated with disease. Fortunately, seri ously progressive near-sight edness is now rare in the United States. Myopia is corrected with concave lenses. These glasses are thin in the center and thick at the edges, causing the rays of light which focus in front of the retina to diverge and strike the retina, thus making the image clear. In middle or old age nearsightedness may improve slightly because the eye usually becomes a little more farsighted. Rarely does this change make a nearsighted eye normal. a trequent cnange or prescription for glasses usually is necessary for nearsighted persons until about the age of 25. It is important for nearsighted individuals to have annual eye examinations. With the approach of another school term in the fall, eye examinations for the family are important. Many children are nearsighted without real izing it. Sometimes thedefect is first discovered by a teacher -w'ho finds that the pupil cannot read the blackboard. See your eye doctor (ophthal mologist) or. if you do not know an eye specialist, ask your fam ily doctor for a recom mendation. Smokey Says; TRY AND READ TW IS?

Net Farm Income Will Be Higher 4, Realized net farm income in 1965' will likely total almost $13.5 billion, the highest level since 1953, Secretary of Agriculture Orville K, Freeman has told the Senate Agr iculture Committee, H. S. Barksdale, Chairman, Agricultural Stabilization andC on s e r v a t ion County Committee, said today. The Secretary said the new level will be $1.8 billion more than in 1960 and is $900 million more than in 1964. Prices of farm products aver aged about 10 percent higher in June than they did a year ago. especially for beef, pork, broilers, feed grains, tobacco, soybeans, potatoes and vegetables. Cash receipts from the sale of farm products in the first half of this year some $700 million more than in the same period in 1964, Secretary Freeman said. in nis statement to tne senate Committee, the Secretary said realized net income per farm is estimated to be S4.000 as compared to S3.727 in 1964 and $2,956 in I960. ‘Prospects fur maintaining this improved level of performance will depend on the continuing stability of the Nation’s economy and on the actions taken by the Congress on the President’s food and agriculture proposals now pending, which would extend and improve the policies which have proven so successful duF ing the first five years of this decade,” Secretary Freeman said. lie noted that although farm income has strengthened in the past five years, food is still a better bargain then ever before. “This year, food costs for the average consumer will take 18.3 percent of income after taxes. In I960, food required 20 percent and the diet was much less abundant in beef.* ‘If the same percentage of income was spent for food in 1965 as in 19o(). consumers would have had $7 billion less to spend on other things, or about as much as is spent annually for physician care, or more than is spent for radio and television sets, records and musical instruments, the Secretary said. | Social Security Noteq People have a way of losing Ithings and some people lose things more often thanothers. However, the Social Security Administration is sure that domestic employees as a group are losing more money than anyone else. We're talking about social security benefits, of course, livery day we receive applications from household workers -- maids, cooks, gardeners. chauffeurs, babysitters, and other persons working in or about private homes. Very often we find that a la rge pa rt - - somet imes a II - - of the wages of these persons has not been reported for social security purposes. As a result, these workers do not receive as much in benefits as they should have, and some times they receive nothing.
