I c VA. STAXP LIBRARY RICHMOND 19, VA. y n --'Hia • illy >n\r« DEC 9 1965 STATE LIBRARY & • % ^ VOLUME XVIII. NUMBER 6 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1965 lQcCopy SUBSCRIPTION |2£0 PER YEAR (In Advance) Seal Sales Only At Halfway Mark Mrs. F. L. Bowey of Amissville, Christmas Seal Chairman for Rappahannock County for 1965, announced that over 1200 letters were mailed to residents of the county in the current Christmas Seal Campaign. Response has been good but contributions to date are just a bit over the halfway mark of last year's total. Mrs. Bowey urges citizens to use their Christmas Seals and to answer their Seal letter as generously as they can. “Tuberculosis respects no age limits, and this is particularly true when it comes to other respiratory diseases in children,” Mrs. Bowey said. “During a national survey, it was learned that respiratory conditions account for more than half of the'acute illnesses among children under 15. Hay fever, asthma and other allergies account for one-third of all chronic conditions reported for children under 17.” Mrs. Bowey called attention to the fact that Christmas Seal contributions make it possible for the Tuberculosis and Health Association of Northern Virginia to supply Children's Health Adventures for each child in the county through the sixth grade for seven months during the school year. This publication, written for the different levels of understanding, is used by the teachers in stressing better health habits, to underline the imporfance of building strong bodies which can resist TB and other respiratory diseases. This week returns in the Christmas Seal Campaign of the Tuberculosis and Health Association of Northern Virginia have brought the total for these counties to: Total for To Date lut year this year Clarke .$2534,20 $1169.00 ytauquier .... 7560.84 3211.35 Frederick .... 8633.16 4784.95 Loudoun . 6283.34 3137.00 Page . 3319.99 1762.85 Rappahan’k .. 824.01 434.50 Shenandoah *4598.19 2325.21 Warren . 4660.63 2392.25 Totals $38,414.36 $19,217.11 Score One For Foxhunters By Mary Jamieson At last, an answer for those scoffers who groan, “Tallyho-hum! Why foxhunt?" On December 4, when Mr. and Mrs. A. Lawton Blankenbaker and Jack Blankenbaker followed the Rappahannock Hunt’s meet at their Haywood farm with a ravishing breakfast, they provided an answer! And an answer which, we are sure, will satisfy even those who say, “Fiddlesticks to 1.) crisp early mornings, 2.) ringing hound music, 3.) zippy gallops, 4.) exciting views of the quarry, all against panaramic scenes of Blue Ridge Country. Hold your hunt caps. Here it is: The list of 18 delicious southern dishes, arrayed on the Blankenbaker buffet which greeted Rappahannock Hunters after a good morning’s chase-Ham, spareribs, sauer kraut, blackeyed peas, lima beans, sweet potatoes, baked beans, rich cheese strata, cole slaw, hot biscuits with homemade butter, herb bread, salsify, baked apples with cinnamon hearts, fruit cake, pound cake, cookies, two kinds of pickles, coffee with whipped farm cream. I’m sure the rewards of foxhunting are manifestly apparent now. Any questions? During the morning’s hunt, a big red, jumped in the Blankenbaker woods, set a good pace for the pack. They ran him for 1 1/4 hours before Josing him in a corn field. vThe fox was first viewed by veteran foxhunters Lawton Blankenbaker and William Smith, Sr. crossing Dead End Road; then again by Elzy Brown as the red streak slipped along Graves' Bottom. Two minor side events of the hunt were young Wade Wallihan Massie’s athletic feat when his grey lost foot(Continued on page 2) Mrs. F. L. Bowey of Amissville, chairman of the County Christmas Seal Campaign, urges everyone who has not returned their letters with contribution to the Tuberculosis and Health Association of Northern Virginia to do so. Children’s Book Fair Scheduled in Dec. A magnificent collection of hundreds of the best children’s work will be brought to Rappahannock County Library for viewing and Christmas sales on Saturday, December 18. The Fair will be open until Christmas. Never before have the residents of this area had such an opportunity to examine so great a collection of new children's books. Parents are invited to bring their children to the Book Fair. Purchases for Christmas can be made at the Library. Shopping for children will be a delight and most gratifying. The Library staff hopes that every child and parent will take advantage of this unusual fair. Accompanying the exhibit will be a fine high school art exhibit dealing with Christmas subjects. Indian Relics Interest Historical Society William M. Carrigan Emphasis at the Historical Society’s Friday night meeting) was definitely on Indian life in this area. After Mr. George Davis, filling in for the chairman of the Artifacts Committee, Mr. T. J. Pillar, spoke and demonstrated that Indian relics are everywhere beneath our feet, there will be a new rush and search for arrowheads, tomahawks, hammers, tools and utensils. Mr. Pillar, who could not report because of illness, sent in a large and mounted collection of artifacts found on his farm on the upper Hazel River. He listed them as found in an area of about one hundred feet square on what may have been in earlier times an island in the river. The site would be ideal for a village. He said that the area is a protected valley, a good hunting location as it controlled the small valley coming from the mountains, and the stream must have afforded excellent fishing. Mr. Davis added his collection of artifacts which were picked up around the Motel for the most part. They were most interesting in that besides the usual arrows and hammers he found many pieces of stone utensils which might mean that a permanent Indian camp or Trading Post existed here in the Town of Washington. He urged that we check more closely on the odd and worn stones we find around our fence rows and in the fields after the first rain following plowing. The Historical Society is planning a Museum and there will be much interest in the collections of relics. Anyone knowing of a concentration of artifacts at any particular area is invited to let the Society know, and an investigation by the Committee on (Continued on page 5) Town Alerted To Water Shortage The fact that three years of extremely dry weather has caused a water shortage in many areas of the country is not news. However, when the condition occurs in our immediate area it calls for banner headlines and is of primary importance to us. This is the case in the Town of Washington. The water level in Rappahannock County at present is the lowest ever recorded here. Water for the 90-100 families of the town comes from a spring and from a 123-foot well. The spring water is used as long as it is plentiful and when necessary the supply is obtained from the well. The spring is dry and has been since about May, so in the past six months water has been used from the well. On two different occasions recently the water has become muddy with the low water level. Residents are alerted to these facts so they will realize that water must be used with extreme caution for only necessary purposes. The well was examined two years ago by State authorities when water shortages first became prominent, and they predicted that if the supply failed it would occur in the late fall or dead of winter. Christmas Luncheon The annual Christmas luncheon of the Rappahannock Garden Club will be held at 1 p.m. on Saturday, December 11 at Cab Inn, Sperryville. All club members are invited to bring a friend, but reservations for everyone must be made in advance by calling Mrs. Marie Hite, 987-3641. The luncheon is $1.60 per person. Gifts will be exchanged and the wrappings judged. The Juncheon will take the place of the December meeting. Knitting Class Complete The Basic Knitting Class held each week in Flint Hill will hold a graduation Thursday night at 7:30 at the home of Mrs. Mary Cl ever ley. Certificates will be presented the 10 members completing the class. Two members of the class, Mrs. Joel Jenkins of Flint Hill and Mrs. A. C. Hensley, Castleton, have had perfect attendance during the course Others who will receive certificates are Mrs. Betty Jane Baldwin, Mrs. Nancy Nicholas, AmiS8ville; Mrs. Rachael Davis, Mrs. Robert Nethers, Flint Hill; Mrs. J. T. Woodard, Jr. and Mrs. Lena Woodard, Castleton; Miss Susan Payne and Mrs. Barbara Hudson, Woodville. Miss Doris Daugherty, Home Agent, will issue the certificates. PLEASE - PLEASE - PLEASE Everyone in the Town of Washington Must Conserve Water. The water supply is very low and could possibly be depleted completely at any time. It is of grave importance that residents use water with caution. Several Injuries Result from Recent Traffic Accidents in Rappahannock County Mrs. Nellie Graves of Amissville sustained severe injuries in a two-vehicle collision Saturday, December 4 and remains a patient in Fauquier Hospital, Warrenton. The accident occurred at 2 p.m. on Route 522 north of Huntly. She was a passenger in a car with her husband Fayette Graves. According to Trooper W. A. Buntin, Mr. Graves was driving his 64 Mercury Comet enroute to Front Royal when Melvin Jordan of Huntly operating a 1961 Pontiac heading south on 522 lost control of his vehicle and slammed into the Graves car. Jordan ran off the right of the road, careened back across to the left and skidded sideways into the front of the Graves vehicle, said Mr. Buntin. Mrs. Graves was admitted to Warren Memorial Hospital Front Royal with a broken right foot, lacerations of the face and four dislocated teeth. She was later transferred to the hospital in Warrenton. Mr. Graves received lacera tions of the mouth, abrasions of the right hand and was x-rayed for chest injuries. He was treated and released from Warren Memorial Hospi tal. Jordan was admitted to Warren Memorial Hospital with lacerations of the right temple and possible back injury. Mr. and Mrs. Graves were taken to the hospital by the Front Royal Rescue Squad and the Flint Hill Squad took Jordan to the hospital. According to Mr. Buntin, charges against Jordan are pending. Both vehicles were a total loss, with damages estimated at $1,000 to the Comet and $500 to the Pontiac. Selective Service The Selective Service Office at Washington, Va. will be closed the following days: December 10 and 17. Christmas Program at Slate Mills Dec. 12 A Christmas program will be presented at Slate Mills Baptist Church on December 12. A play will be given by the Sunday School and Santa will arrive there for the occasion. The program begins at 7:30 p.m. Panthers Win One, Take Two Defeats The basketball season started officially December 3 for the Panthers and JV of Rappahannock County High School when they met Montevideo and were defeated by a slim four points. This was the first league game, but a non-district game was played with Madison County High School on December 1. Rappahannock edged a one point victory over the Madison Mountaineers. Ronnie Pullen was high man in both games with 12 and 24 points respectively. In the foregoing games Rappahannock JV lost to Montevid eo by one point and was defeat ed by Madison with a 20-11 score. Scores were Montevideo 40 - Rappahannock 36; Madison 53 - Rappahannock 54. Tuesday Rappahannock bowed to Page County High with a score of 66 for Page, 49 for Rappahannock. Kent Henry was high scorer with 20 points to his credit. The local JV also was defeated and the final score was 26 for Page and 21 forRappahanijock. Mrs. Rachael Davis of Flint Hill sustained injuries and was hospitalized for several days as the result of a single vehicle accident which occurred Saturday on Route 522 in Warren County. She has been a patient in the hospital in Front Royal. Mrs. Davis lost control of her vehicle, a 1963 Chevy II, hurdled down an embankment and was thrown from the car. Injuries were multiple bruises and abrasions and a chipped bone in her shoulder. The car was a total loss. Minor injuries resulted in a two-car collision on Route 522 December 3, two miles east of Sperryville. Injured were iElaine Roberta Sisk of Sperry ville who sustained contusions !of the forehead; Martha B. Harris, also Sperryville, had lacerations of the face; Gene Autry M e r e d i t h, Woodville, with lacerated lip. Roger Lee Shifflett of Stanardsville, operating a 56Chev rolet was proceeding west on Route 522 when he slowed to ■ make a turn. He was struck in the rear by Gene Autry Meredith of Woodville operating a 64 Chevrolet which was owned by Edward Meredith, accord■ ing to Trooper J. B. Willis, Shifflett was charged with defective lights and Meredith was charged with failing to maintain control of his vehicle Damage was estimated at $400 to the Shifflett vehicle and $600 to the Meredith car. Styers Leave for Smith America Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Styer of Washington are enroute to South America where they will spend four months. They left Sunday from Friendship Airport for New Orleans where they will sail aboard the freighter, Gulf Banker to the southern continent. The Styers plan to spend a month in Peru and go from there to Chile. It seems Rappahannock travelers often have difficulty getting “on the road". The Styers had planned to leave by train from Culpeper Saturday evening, but after waiting for the train for a couple of hours they inquired to find that a threatening trainmen’s strike had cancelled the run. So back home to make other arrangements, the flight from Friend ship which they were indeed fortunate to get. The Rev. and Mrs. Charles Glaenzer of Washington accompanied the Styers to the train and after the cancellation, took them home with them to spend the night. Sunday morning Mrs. Glaenzer took them to Manassas and they were accompanied from there to the plane by their daughter. .WWWVWVNXVWWWWVt | Fire and Rescue \ Squad Notes sex* The Flint Hill Rescue Squad took a traffic accident victim from the crash scene in Speri y ville to Culpeper Memorial Hospital on Saturday, Decern her 3.

Irresistible kissing wreaths made of holly, shadow boxes, candleholders, basket of greens for do-it-yourselfers, and many more gay and interesting objects. Coffee and cookies will be on the house. Early shoppers have the best choice! ---1 Governor Issues Prod Of Woodlands Due to ] Governor Harrison has de-j dared Virginia’s woodlands in a state of “extraordinary fire hazard" and closed them effective noon Tuesday until further notice. The closing affects that portion of the Commonwealth east of the Blue Ridge. All persons except residents and those employed in the areas will be barred from them. Hunting and fishing will be barred as well as all fires and smoking within 300 yards of any woods. The closing covers all land eastward from the western boundaries of the counties of Loudoun, Fauquier, Rappaharv nock, Madison, Greene, Albemarle, Bedford, Nelson, Amherst, Franklin and Patrick. The governor said he was acting with great reluctance and had waited as long as possible before taking this action. The State Division of Forestry had made a request to the governor for the closing of the woodlands for it had been 44 days since any imation for Closing Extreme Fire Hazard appreciable amount of rain had fallen in several areas of the state. The proclamation temporarily ends the hunting season east of the Blue Ridge, but state law provides for an extension of the season after the woods are reopened for as long as they were closed. There will be no extension in the migratory fowl season since that is governed by federal statute. The national parks, George Washington Forest, Shenandoah and Thomas Jefferson, will remain open. These are under federal jurisdiction. Rappahannock County Chief Forest Warden Raymond Johi> son urges that local residents comply with the governor’s proclamation. Mr. Johnson states that the lack of precipitation in this area has made the situation acute and carelessness in mountain coui> try such as this could result in disaster. The water level is at an all-time low. «u mmm tmtacr In Event of Power Failure Your Telephone Service Would Be Maintained K. M. Gassman- Plant Manager, Tommy Sowers - Service Foreman, and A. T. Reed - C. and P. Area Manager, inspect the emergency power equipment that will keep telephone service going in the Culpeper area in the event Culpeper has a loss of electricity. The recent power failures in various parts of the nation have brought up the disquieting though of communications breakdown; however the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company assures the public that they have emergency power equipment that will keep telephone service going in this area in the event Culpeper has a loss of electricity. Reed said the company has installed hundreds of batteries, a 30-KV turbine diesel engine (pictured above) and other smaller generators in the Madison, Sperryville, a n d Criglersville exchanges that would supply the necessary power to keep customers telephones ringing. It was emergency power systems similar to the ones here at C and P that kept telephones operating during the blackout in the northeastern part of thecoun try a snort time ago. Not only is there auxiliary power equipment in the Culpeper central office building, but throughout the central offices of all other offices ofi !#l the C. and P, the Bell Sys-i ' S tern, and other telephone com* pany dial centers. From al~ 5 f most the day the first switch " ' boards were installed, batteries have provided regular - ind auxiliary power for tele- • r"i> phone operations. ' :i In the C and P areas, ac- $ cording to Reed, over $3.5 'k million is invested in emer-/ gency batteries connected to » f the switching equipment and telephone operator positions.

Davia Street j , Culpeper, Va. a Letter To Editor Dear Editor: Some people are “Down On The Farm" so far they do not know the existing circum-j stances in some communities. Sperryville already has its dump on Main Street. The Thornton River acts as a garbage, sewage and trash disposal. The Water Control Board! states that it is up to our County Health Department to clean up the river, but the Health Department says that it is up to the Water Control Board. It was clearly pointed out at the zoning meeting, the present would stand as is, it was to deal with future problems. House - trailers and junk yards are not as unsightly as what will be seen when you cross the bridge leading to, or from the Sperryville Elementary School. Perle Coffey Accommodations for Skiers Needed Although the ski season has not yet begun the Skyline Ski Area at Washington, Va. has already had many calls for overnight accommodations. In an effort to respond to the needs of skiers Skyline will maintain a list of recommended accommodations. Since the facilities at Rush River Lodge, Glen Eyrie, the Lake Motel and those in Sperryville will be able to handle only a small proportion of the requests for accommodations, the Skyline Ski Area is soliciting the help of area residents who may wish to provide rooms for rent to skiers. During the ski season, the heaviest call for accommodations comes during the Christmas holiday season and on Fridays and Saturdays during January and February. If you are interested in making our up and coming playboys. Last week’s mysterious person was: Leslie Hayes. Panthers Dotes: Usually parents who are lucky in the kind of children they have, have children who are lucky in the kind of parents they have. The Tuberculosis and Health Association of Northern Virginia has given a generous donation to Winchester Memorial Hospital for the completion of a pulmonary function testing laboratory'. Examining new equipment are from left to right: Henry A. Lowry, first vice Dresident of the health organization; Dr. George H. Murphy, supervisor of the Laboratory Department of the hospital; and Dr. W. P. McGuire, president of the hospital board of directors and chairman of the executive committee. 1 rooms available to skiers, please call Col. Carney at the Skyline Ski Area, phone 6753719. Please be prepared to indicate number of rooms available, bathroom facilities, whether rooms are available for single, double or multiple occupancy (for example, a family with two children). The accommodations manager at Skyline will recommend a fair rental rate, if it is requested. Mr. Robert Reid, Skyline manager stared, “Skiing is probably the most rapidly developing sport today, and as a consequence, whenever the weather permits and the snow conditions are good, we have to expect overflow crowds which will strain all our facilities. The lifts, slopes, the day lodge and whatever sleeping accommodations are available* Help on the latter problem from people residing in the area will be greatly appreciated.” EVERYTHING from toasters to roasters to make the cook happy, and to make the holiday fixings better. Picture your 25 lb. turkey or ham in our kingsize roaster. Don’t forget Electric Mixers or cookie cutters and if you haven’t tried Corning Ware give yourself a treat, and if you have trouble with your pans and skillets sticking, try new Teflon.

By Doris Daugherty When you’re selecting toys for the children’s Christmas keep the safety factor in mind, says the Virginia Rural Safety Council. For small children, two and under, toys should be simple, soft, and washable. Stuffed animals, blocks, push and pull toys which meet these require ments are good selections. As the child grows older he will like larger stuffed animals. Brightly colored books, beads for stringing, and blocks are popular with the two to three year old. Because children want to imitate adults in their world, housekeeping equipment, trucks, and costumes are good selections. For thefour-tosix-year-old, consider paints, crayons, clay construction sets, mechanical toys, books, sports equipment, and pedal cars. The six-toeight-year-old will enjoy craft and hobby equipment, puzzles, games, electric trains, and gym equipment. Before buying a toy examine its shape and construction to be sure it will not cut or otherwise injure the child. Be sure there are no slender parts which could be inserted in the nose, ear, or mouth. Safe toys should be made i of materials which will not; break into sharp jagged edges. Pecans in-the-shell are ideal additions to a holiday! fruit bowl. They keep well at room temperature up to 8 months; in the refrigerator, 36 months. Shelled pecans keep best when kept cool— up to 9 months in the refrigerator.
