W. Woodson, Jr,, Chairman of the Governor’s Highway Safety Committee and Superintendent of State Police. Traffic volumes for the year are up about 6.3 percent and the death rate (deaths per 100 million vehicle miles of travel) is tentatively set at 4.9, as against the national figure of 5.4. Pedestrian deaths are down from 164 to 144. Colonel Woodson noted that last December saw 87 deaths, including 30 during Christmas week. In this connection, he had some words of advice for walkers and drivers as to the seasonal dangers: 1. Don't use alcohol and go into traffic. At least 50 percent of all fatal crashes involve drinking drivers. There is more drinking at this time of year than at any other. 2. We have more hours of darkness than any other month and the death rate at night is twice that of daylight. 3. Bad weather can strike any time. 4. Traffic is abnormally heavy and both drivers and walkers are prone to be Inattentive. Washington Family Hospitalized with Injuries Sustained in 1-Car Accident Three members of a Washington, Va. family were hospitalized after a single vehicle crash shortly after midnight Friday on Rt. 522 near Huntly Injured were Eugene Edwin Burke, his wife, Patricia and one-month-old son Eugene,jr. The Burke family was traveling home from Front Royal in a '66 Plymouth Baracudsr owned by Mr. Burke’s mother, Mrs. Mary Burke of Washington, according to the report of Trooper K. L. Miller. The vehicle skidded across the highway into a ditch, continued sideways on its left side, struck a tree and landed upright, said the officer. The vehicle was a total loss, estimated at $3200.

Carried over from a previous meeting was the matter of offering craft items for sale hereafter at the Arts and Crafts Show each fall. So many requests have been received at the past two shows for handmade items that could be purchased that a policy of “Showing Only" must be altered. It is believed that some plan can be worked out among craftsmen for handling the | sales of their own items where by the Arts and Crafts Project will not be involved in the exchange, but will have provided the market. It is the policy of the Project not to become commercial or to handle money, but to remain a public service organization. Call Mrs. T. J. Pillar, 9872414, if you want to sell hand lcratts next tail. It is still the ambition of the Arts and Crafts Project to establish a permanent shop in an interesting building in I the county where the products ]of their labors could be displayed, where demonstrations and workshops could be held and which could serve as head quarters for the project. A few suclr places already have been established ip our state and attract a large number of visitors who are interested in the preservation and prorogation of native arts and craft. Such centers are cultural assets to a community and influence the gifted young people as well as the old. The next regular meeting of the Arts and Crafts Project will be at Cab Inn in Sperryville on January 11 at 10 a.m. That will also be a work day, continuation of regular projects such as knitting, quilting, embroidering, etc. Another night time knitting class is also scheduled for January, the time to be announced.

Barksdale, chairman, Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation County Committee, this means that payments for the current 1965 year will depend on completing all details of marketing either wool of lambs by that date. Marketing completed after Dec. 31, 1965, will become marketings in the 1966 marketing year, and thus not eligible for payments until early 1967. The Chairman urges produc- . ers to make sure that all details of the 1965 sales are completed not later than Dec. 31. This includes passing title to the buyer, delivering the wool to the buyer, and having available all the information needed to determine the buyer’s total purchase price. Applications for the 1965 mar keting year payments under the National Wool Act may be filed with the ASCS County office any time, but the Chairman said “the sooner the better." Incentive payments under the wool program are based on the average national price for marketings during the whole year, and this can be determined more exactly if reports on mar k^tings are complete. ASCS is making a special effort to have all applications filed before Jan. 31, 1966. Payments for the 1965 marketing year will likely begin in April of next year. Buys Angus Bull E. L. Weakley, Amissville recently purchased an Aberdeen - Angus bull from the Culfstream Farm, Ft. Lauder dale, Florida.

RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia TELEPHONE; WASHINGTON 675-3349 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. Letter To Editor It is true,as a correspondent suggested in this column last week, that I am "Down on the Farm" so much that it is hard for me to know what is going on in the county. But once in a great while I do climb off my tractor, put on my earmuffs and venture out on the great pike in my Model T. Last time I did this was back in '62 (1862, that is), and I got as far as Sperryville before I ran out of gas. No, it must have been 1962 because I recollect there weren’t no gas engines in my youth. Anyways, I can say for sure that the letter-writer is correct about tin cans and refuse in the Thornton River; they were there then and they are there now, and also a dump or junkyard just off Main street. Seems to me that if we had had zoning in ’62 (1962 that is) or earlier, and solid restrictions against dumping in the prettv river. Snerrv ville would still be lovely as a Christmas picture, and I think all backers of zoning will thank the lady who wrote in about this and called it to everyone’s attention. She is so right. Something ought to be done to prevent more dumping and tin-can tossing, and to clean up the mess that got there because there isn’t any ordinance strong enough to prevent it. We thank the lady for joining our campaign. Welcome aboard! We hope she stays in our county forever and never goes back where she came from. I would assume there already are restrictions against dumping in the river and in residential5 areas.- But the fact that some people break these restrictions or other laws doesn't mean that we should have no laws. It is like saying that since crime continues on the city streets we should abolish policemen, and oppose future laws. We would hope that anyone “Down in the Dumps" will do whatever they can to end unsightly dumping bearing in mind that the county has set aside specified areas for dumps. As to trailers, referring to the letter recently from "Teem I think we can, all also agree with her that the occupants of trailers are as good or better than anyone else. But the point remains that these are mobile homes, not necessarily permanent ones, and therefore raise some problems that licensing and zoning could resolve. In some instances trailers move to rented sites and, after accumulating piles of trash all around, move on to another spot; others locate too close to highways and do little or no landscaping, since they can wheel away at any time. In many counties trailer camps must be first approved and licensed by the county, and many have been rejected because the location they sought was not in harmony with the best landuse of the area. This kind of legalized planning, designed to retain the basic beauty of the land, deprives no one of his so-called “rights.” No one has any Godgiven right to plunder the land, to despoil it, to make it ugly under the guise of freedom of action. Such despoliation interferes with the rights of every man to enjoy the beauty of nature. No one has a ngnr to aesecrate tnat Dasic beauty. Who among us would be pleased if a pesticide plant opened up next to our fine new Library, or next to a church? Who would cheer for a man’s “right’’ to put a junkyard next to our historic County Courthouse? . And this brings us to a question a number of residents have asked me — and I refer the query to you, Mrs Editor, whose paper keeps us informed. What IS the status of the zoning bill? Will there be another public hearing? When is action to be scheduled? And finally, since a newspaper is traditionally a leader of the community on civic issues, is the “News".for or against zoning and county planning? I am sure we would all like to know, Ed Harris A Future Miss Christmus Seuls Only three years old, Alexandra Sheedy already knows what’s proper for the holiday season. “Have a Merry Christmas and use lots of Christmas Seals.” SMITH'S BETTER MEN’S WEAR treat lifil.

I have withheld comment on the zoning question thus far, for 1 thought comments from the Editor may discourage the public from speaking out. I do have decided views, but can jsee there are many facets to ithis gem. I am in favor of zoning rules and regulations for all counties, cities or communities to aid in the orderly development for the benefit of everyone concerned. However, I believe the original attempt of the Zoning Board here was too stringent to be introduced to a rural area as this is. And I was extremely concerned to find prominent, educated leaders speak out with such narrow*, minded views at the public hearing on zoning, and turn a deaf ear to any consideration of the same. Since the introduction of this plan and the public hearing, many of the citizens of the county have developed a belligerent attitude and no matter how worthy a plan or how mild a plan is put before them they will ring up a “No Sale", My personal situation is a perfect example of what can happen when we have no zoning or planning restrictions. Most of my from yard belongs to the State Department of Highways, and with the original design of the house, no matter what I do, there is a limit to the improvements possible. However, it was already there when we purchased the lot and commercial garage, and be it ever so humble there is no place like it, and I’m stuck with it. In reply to an inquiry made yesterday I was told that a zoning plan will be completed and ready to present to the public in February or March. Editor and Citizen Rapp-Chats IK W. H. L> ne Now is the time to start pruning fruit trees. The weather is good and for sure it will not remain this way for much longer. What about pruning demonstrations? Those interested contact the office. ********** In talking with a farmer recently, he indicated a lack of interest in budgeting feed to his livestock; said he would feed what he had anyway so what was the use of figuring out livestock nutritional needs and allowing them just enough to meet those needs. Of course it all depends on why the man is farming and what his wants are. If the farmer, however, is interested in making a profit, he will pay close attention to his livestock feed allowance as this item amounts to 50^-80% of total production costs. Before getting in full swing of the winter feeding chore a farmer should get a forage analysis on his hays and on his ensilage after the silo has been opened. Core borings from 12-15 bales of hay selected at random from each cutting and each type of hay should best be taken as normally there is a lot of difference, for example, between Alfalfa and orchard grass hay. The same applies to ensilage; even a great deal of difference is found in corn ensilages. Analysis results of your forages produced in 1964 should not necessarily be the same as the ensilage produced this year. Seasons, varieties, stage of maturity all influence digestible protein and total digestible nutrient of a feed. Remember the “reins" controlling production costs are in your hands. You are at the controls of this big item of expense. To feed brood cows until they quit bawling is no guide as they will, for sure, eat much more than is needed to stay healthy, produce a healthy calf and suckle it to market weight. Remember the calf must pay for the feed. Don’t force it to try the Impossible. A hay sampler is available to livestockmen at this office and forage tests cost you nothing. ***•*«*«•* During the calving or lambing season, pasture the expectant mothers in a field close to your base of operations. Most wives have been, at some time or other, expectant mothers and naturally are conscious of birth. Your better half could easily, and frequently, keep an eye on those cows and ewes from her kitchen window while doing the dishes or her other housekeeping jobs, if they are located nearby. A warning from her could mean saving extra calves and lambs to pay for those new drapes or help buy that additional 200 pounds of fertilizer needed to reach the maximum profit point. ********** Now and during the next couple of months is the time to top dress hay stands. Here again a test will help in the decision making process. A soil test plus knowing the soil type can help determine the amount of plant food needed to keep that Alfalfa, or clover and grass in a vigorous productive state and thereby lower production costs of a 100 pounds of total digestible nutrients. Fixed costs; taxes, interest on investment, insurance, labor hired by the year, depreciation on machinery, fences and buildings remain about the same. All are apart of the cost of a ton of hay, or barrel of corn. You can lower these costs per ton, bushel or barrel by increasing the output. In the finality profitability of the enterprise, or business, is dependent upon management. iWoodville News Miss Mattie Keel or Raymond Johnson is able to be back with his position of Chief Forest Warden after a severe case of flu.

C, Williamson, beef cattle marketing specialist at Virginia Tech. There were 36 feeder calf sales in which 37,222 calves sold, about 300 short of the 1964 figures. Steer calves averaged $27.37 per hundred weight, up $3.90 over year earlier prices. Heifers averaged $21.58 per hundred, up about $2.80 per hundred over last year. The spread between steers is among persons 65 years of age or over, largely because they are often unable to help themselves escape from a burning building. The next highest death rate is among children under 5 years old, and again they become victims because they do not know what to do in a fire emergency. If you have eldely people or small children in your home, draw up an escape plan under which adults and older children will see to it that the elderly and the young get out of the house if fire occurs. and heifers increased to$5.79 per hundred, the greatest price difference in the history of Virginia Feeder Calf Sales. For the past 10 years, the difference has averaged $4.65 per hundred. There has bee n much discussion about the price spread between grades of calves in recent years, says Williamson. There are instances in which pens of the lower grade calves have brought as much as the higher grades. This past fall, however, choice calves averaged $1.15 per hundred higher than calves grading good, and the good calves out-sold the mediums by $2.25 per hundred. This is about par for the past five years. Ten years ago, the average was around $2 per 'hundred between choice and good, and about the same between good and medium. Williamson adds, "Today cattle feeders are marketing a smaller percentage of higf choice and prime grade slaughter cattle than 10 years ago, and this has probablj taken a little edge off the price advantage of the choice and fancy calves. Choice calves still returned $5 to $6 per head more than good grade calves and quality is the one1 big factor that has sold Virginia calves throughout the Eastern United States for many, many years.” Steer calves averaged 461 pounds and heifers 428 pounds per head, about the same as last year, but 5 pounds below the average of the last five, years. Steer calves returned an average of $126.44 pet head, and heifers $65.52. Assuming half steers, and half heifers, the value of the average calf in Virginia this fall was $111 per head. About one-third of the calves stayed in Virginia this year, while the other two-thirds went to 16 different states. More calves went to l’enns\lvania than any other state. About 500 head of heifers went to a buyer in Texas, 'the furthest any calves moved this past fall, says Williamson.

From The Home Agent*s By Doris Daugherty Christmas Safety Rules Perhaps more than any other tradition, the tree and other home decorations contain the ingredients of tragedy. Accidents can happen in many unique ways during the holidays, which can lead to wide spread loss of life, personal injury and property damage. Perhaps a quick check list of some points will help you to be more careful during the holiday. 1. Use a freshly cut tree and keep well watered. To make the tree flame proof saturate it and other greens with the following mixture: 9 oz. borax, 4 oz. boric acid, 1 gal. water, 1/2 tsp. ‘Dash’, ‘All’, or any low-sudsing detergent. Mix thoroughly. 2. Place tree as far away as possible from radiators, stoves, fireplaces, T.V. sets, air ducts and lamps. 3. Do not place tree in a position where it can be knocked over by bumping into it or tripping over wires or toys. 4. Do^not hang metal foil “icicles" over wires or tree lights. 5. Inspect Christmas-tree lights for frayed cords and test poor connections. Use only well-built fixtures. 6. Do not overload light circuit by attaching too many lights to one outlet. A blown fuse is the signal of a dangerous overload. Use the correct size when replacing blown fuses. Never use a penny in place of a fuse. 7. Do not use lighted candles around tree or decorations. 8. Unplug lights when leaving room .. if only for a few minutes. 9. Clear away wrappings after opening presents. Keep a waste basket handy. 10. Keep a fire extinguisher or a blanket handy at all times to smother flames if a fire should start. 11. Remove dry tree from premises immediately after the holidays. * * * * * * * * * * Pecans, one of our more popular holiday nuts, were also a favorite of George Washington. According to his fellow officers, Washington often carried pecans in his pockets, and his diary reports that in 1774 he planted pecans about his home at Mount Vernon. Thomas Jefferson, too, was interested in pecans. He received the first recorded shipment of pecans from Louisiana to the north in 1799. Daniel Clark of New Orleans sent him a box of pecans and wrote, “I have presumed to send you a box of pecan meats. These are not, I understand, common in the Atlantic ports of the United States, though they grow everywhere on the banks of the Mississippi, from the Illinois River to the Sea. The tree grows to the usual size of forest trees and affords a delightful shade in summer. It might be well to cultivate it in Virginia for use and ornament.” Make someone s happy this Christmas t Bulova!

L.WHITE&COMPANY “THE WHITE SHOP" Culpeper, Virginia CHRISTMAS SHOPPING HOURS : 9 a.m.-9 p.m. Beginning December 13th thru Dec 23rd Kennedy dispatched federal agents to the offices of the steel companies. Employes of the companies heard a knock on the door at night and were rooted from their beds to produce documents demanded by federal agents. This was socialism-or worse! Mr. Johnson has been a bit more subtle, but not much. Recently, a few companies announced a price increase of a half cent a pound on aluminum products. They took this action, presumably, because labor unions last spring demanded and got a 4.5 per cent wage increase, well above the guidepost figure of 3.2 per cent. Even so, the ingot price for aluminum — after the minor increase — was below that prevailing four years ago. It is hard to figure out what the federal bureaucrats expect private companies to do when costs go up. Prices, to make sense, must take into account the real cost of production. At any rate, the announcement of an aluminum price increase apparently enraged Mr. Johnson. Immediately there was the announcement that the federal government would call' a conference concerned with the sale of alumi num from the national strate gic materials stockpile. There’s no questioning the intent of this federal announcement. It was to strike the fear into the hearts of aluminum makers that, unless they rescinded the price increase, the government would dump aluminum on the market in! order to drive down prices, j The public should clearly! understand the significance of this move. It is a case of blackmail pure and simple. Without the statutory authority Smokey Says: The product of a careless act! to regulate prices, the Johnson administration would use the stockpile to compel Industry acceptance of a parti cular price line. The administration's action is all tlje more reprehensible in that the stockpile of aluminum was not created for priceregulating purposes but for national defense. The idea behind stockpiles is that metals must be kept on hand in case of sudden shortage and an immediate need by the defense establishment. Stockpiles are for defense, not for politics or for socialistic regulation of the American economy. If Executive Branch representatives had candidly admitted that stockpiles would be used to regulate prices, the stockpile legislation would never have become law. Another jispect of the aluminum crisis is that retaliation always is directed at private enterprise, never at unions. Consider the maritime strikes of recent years. Their costs to the American economy has been staggering. They have had a colossal inflationary effect. The last such strike was estimated to cost the country at least $1 billion. But the Johnson administra tion never suggested that ser vicemen or non-union workers be used to get the docks back in operation of the ships moving on the seas. Direct govern ment action is planned only when the victim is American [business. ! Now the Johnson administra ;tion says that it is concerned Kvith the inflationary effect of an incfease in aluminum prices. He paid no attention had a colossal inflationary to the fact that the price increase was fully justified by the previous wage increase! The president - - and the public — should bear in mind that the federal government is the chief generator of inflation by the spendihg of billions on welfare programs and foreign aid. If Mr. Johnson wants to crb inflation in effective man ner, ne can curt&Jl some « 'his pet anix-poveriy prbj««tir which have been exposed as wasteful. But the truth is t£}at ,Mr. Johnson prefers to slap down free enterprise instead of reducing the waste occasion ed by projects that are politically profitable to his administration.

Steps Up Defenses In Annual Battle of Snow and Ice I The State Highway Department--faced with rapidly increasing interstate and arterial highway mileage--is stepping up its defenses for its annual battle with ice and snow. To'provide faster, more effective road clearance during winter storms, the Department's maintenance division is adding to its basic arsenal about 14,000 tons of chemicals, a comparable tonnage of abrasives, more than 75 new storage facilities, about 180 more snow plows and chemical spreaders, and some 65 Department trucks. For the first time, formal agreements are being made i---;—' I THE VILLAGE SHOP I Main Street Flint Hill Christmas Gifts for all —Fit Any Budget I Tues. thru Sat., 10 am - 6 pmi 1 with independent truck owners for the provision of about 325 privately-operated trucks to serve in ice control and snow removal operations, the owners to be paid separate rates for standby and active-duty service. About 240 motor graders are also being hired from private owners for use during storm conditions. The idea behind this buildup, says Maintenance Engineer J. M. Wray, Jr., is “to get to trouble spots immediately with sufficient equipment to prevent intolerable conditions from deve-loping’--especially on the Department’s some 850 miles of new and heavily traveled interstate and arterial highways. Of this total mileage, around 100 miles of interstate routes and some 75 miles of new parallel lanes in the arterial network will have been opened to traffic during the current year, making increased maintenance a necessity. Paradoxically, Wray believes the stepped-up servicewill prove an economy measure, costing the Department little, if any, more than slower operations with less equipment. The annual cost for winter maintenance, to date, has been approximately $4 million. This figure will increase, of course, as additional mileage is SCT^Viced. Another “first” this winter Wray said, will be the use of weather data supplied by the Northeast Weather Service in Bedford, Mass. From November 1 through March 31, the station, under terms of an agreement with the Department, will telephone storm data directly to the areas concerned and also to the Department’s Central Office in Richmond. Reports will include both forecasts and follow-up data while storms are in progress. Top priority in snow removal operations goes to interstate arterial, and other heavilytraveled primary or secondary highways, designated “bare pavement routes . The goal for these is to provide safe travel witnout tne use of snow tires or chains as quickly as possible. Other state roads having less traffic and lower priority for snow or ice control will receive attention as soon as equipment can be spared from the main highways. The Department’s winter preparations begin early. By the first of November, most of: the snow fence has been erect- ! ed, and, from this time on, all large snow removal equipment is run once a week to test its readiness. Before the middle of November, a trial run to test the performance of both personnel and equipment during ice and' snow operations has been' made in each of the Depart-' ment’s 160-odd maintenance; areas throughout the state. Department personnel are already prepared to operate state-owned snow removal equipment on a two-shift (inj some cases, three-shift) basis ' in practically all maintenance areas. On bare pavement routes, the first operations, performed almost concurrently, are the application of abrasives to such trouble spots as hills, curves, intersections, ramps, and bridges, and the application of sodium chloride and calcium chloride to pavement1 as soon as there is sufficient ice or snow to retain them.' Plowing begins when snow i reaches one or two inches. Other routes are kept passable with abrasives and plowing. Seal Campaign Passes Two-Thirds Mark “We’re holding our breath*, says the County Christmas Seal Chairman, Mrs. F. L. Bowey, “but if contributions continue to come in at the same rate, we will equal Iasi year’s figures. The returns thus far are $557.00. The total last year was $824.01. More than one-half a million Americans need special attention because of TB. Other respiratory diseases are the major cause of time lost from work and school. Christmas Seal contributions help the Tuberculosis and Health Association in fighting TBand many of these other respiratory diseases in many different ways. “We fervently hope that those who haven’t responded to their Christmas Seal letters willdo so now, so we can achieveour goal and therefore carry out and expand our programs as planned,” continued the Campaign Chairman. Several of the major projects in this county include a total of over 700 Children’s Health Adventures which aredistributed each month to the elementary schools for the children in the first six grades. These are used by teachers in stressing good health habits. Other health materials, pamphlets, posters and film strips are furnished teachers upon request. Routine assistance to medically indigent patients is a continuing part of the program. This includes a small allowance for laundry and incidentals while a patient is in the sanatorium. Emergency X-rays, clothing, transporta| tion and drugs are supplied when requested by the Medical Social Worker or F^ublic Health Nurse. Through the use of special funds, equipment has been purchased to complete a basic laboratory for testing pulmonary functioning at the Winchester Memorial Hospital. A symposium was held for doctors in the area to acquaint them with facilities, test interpretation and benefits for testing for respiratory diseases. The Chairman stressed that more can be done if funds are made available. Flint Hill News Soc. Security Notes About 180,000 widows are eligible to get social security benefits sooner than before because of a recent change in the law, Mrs. Hazel F. Daly, social security district manager in Winchester, said today. A widow whose husband was insured under social security can choose to start her monthly payments when she is 60. In the past, widows had to be at least 62 to get the payment^ Mrs. Daly continued. A widow’s monthly payment will be reduced if she decides to start benefits before she is 62. Under the new law, her benefit is reduced slightly for each month she is under 62 when she starts getting the payments. "But, _ on the average, a widow who accepts benefits before age 62 will collect about the same value in total benefits over the years, but in smaller installments to take account of the longer period during which she will be paid," she said. The decision to accept reduced payments can only be made by the widow. Mrs. Daly said all widows who are 60 or 61 should get in touch with the social security office to get more information about reduced widow’s benefits and other changes under the new law. “Widows who wish to receive benefits before age 62 should apply for them," she said. "If you can’t come to the office now, call or write for a copy of Leaflet No. 5." The Social Security District office is located at 133 West Boscawen Street, Winchester, Virginia.

This art work is part of the permanent mobile collection selected each year by the American Council on Religious Art and the Kiwanis Clubs from the prize winners. The exhibit will remain at the Library from Saturday. Dec. 18 until New Years. Children of all ages up to ninety-five and older - are urged to see what these young artists are doing.

Keep Ashtrays In Every Room Having plenty of ash trays around tile house, particularly if you have holiday guests who smoke, is the best way to prevent burns on table tops and rugs, and at the same time perhaps avoid a serious fire, says the American Insurance Association. a mUSICAL GIFT Music Instruments Guitars Amplifiers Mandolins Ukeleles Banjos Violins Accessories ^ NE and USED PIANOS, FURNITURE COMPAN\ 200 N. Main - Tel. 825-9242 - Culpepe "Throughout the years, according to our statistics, three out of every four fires are the result of carelessness. Carelessness Chief Cause "Carelessness can take many forms. A fire can start from such a little thing as an unextingished match or a lighted cigarette carelessly discarded. In (ait, every fifth fire is caused by matches and smoking. "Another fifth of all fires is caused by misuse of electricity and faulty electrical equipment. As a matter of just good lommon sense, you owe it to yourself to keep your appliances in good working order, and if they are not operating properly, have them repaired by a qualified service man.” Mr. Dorsett added that fire prevention, while important at the holiday season, should be made a year-around affair. "Fire is a perpetual threat, and at no time can we relent in our efforts to achieve fire safety,"he added. Over 1,300,000 Fires Over 1,300,000 fires occurred in U. S. cities having a population of 2 500 and over in 1064, Mr. Dorsett said. Approximately 400,000 homes were damaged or destroyed. "These figures indicate that fire prevention is of vital content to all,” Mr. Dorsett declared. "Our daily and weekly newspapers and radio and tele\ision stations can render a great public service by telling their readers, listeners and viewers how to protect themselves, their families and their property from fire.” Mr. Dorsett said that while care with fire is particularly important to keep Christmas and New Year's a joyous and happy time, fire prevention is a yearround job.

66 Cropland Program Details of the Cfopland Adjustment Program — authorized by the Food and Agriculture Act of 1965 — were announced recently by Secretary of4Agriculture Orville L. Free man. The program is aimed at removing from surplus production up to 40 million acres for periods of 5 to 10 venrs. Emphasis will be on shifting this land into public benefit uses which also conserve soil and water to meet future needs John G. Carpenter, Chair man, Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation County Committee, said that the sign up of farmers wishing to di vert acres under the new Crop land Adjustment Program willbe announced later. Full details on how the program would apply to an individual farm! will be available in the ASCS county office in late December or early January. The Cropland Adjustment Program supplements the yearly commodity programs. Long-term agreements afford farmers more stability and thus better opportunity for planning adjustments in land use. To protect local communities, the Chairman explained the new program will limit REPAIR SERVICE I For Finest Craftsmanship and Reasonable Prices —SEE— STORES Culpeper - Warrenton the amount of land that can be put under the program. In any county or community, no“ more than 10 percent of the allotment or base acreage for any crop or of'total cropland will be contracted in any single year and no more than 25 percent during the life of the program. Exceptions to this rule will be made where reauested bv local arovern ments. CAP will help farmers divert cropland to protective conservation uses under the long-term agreements. Partt cipants will receive adjustment payments related to the value of the crops normally produced on the land. They also will be eligible for conservation cost-share payments on the diverted land. And those who agree to permit free public access for fisf> ing, hunting, hiking, and trapping in accordance with appropriate State and Federal regulations may get an additional per-acre payment. In general, farms which have changed ownership during the 3-year period preceeding the first year of the agreement period are not eligible to take part in the program. There are, however, exceptions to this general rule, such as farms which have changed ownership by will or succession due to the previous owner’s death, and farms which for 3 years prior to the agreement have been under the control of the person who will control it for the full period of the agreement. Under certain circumstances the law also permits farms with owi> ership changes as late of December 31, 1964, to participate. Payments under the program will be based on the past use and the productivity of the land. For land that would otherwise produce wheat, corn, grain sorghum, or barley, the annual payment per acre will be 40 percent of the county price-support loan rate times the farm yield for the crop. , After placing all of his acreage of one or more of the farm’s allotment crops or the feed grain base in the program, the farmer may offer other cropland. Rates for this cropland will range nationally from $3 to $7 an acre. Big super heating - performance in a [COMPACT CABINET!

Veterans News A change in financial status may entitle a parent, or parents, to Veterans Administration Compensation or Death In^ demnity Compensation if the veteran son’s death was service connected. Under the Death and Indemnity Compensation Laws a dependent parent, or parents, is entitled to benefits if his veteran son, or daughter, died in service or of a service con-I nected cause and if his income is within the legal limitation . . . $1,750 for a single parent;; $2,400 for both parents. In many cases the parent was j not entitled to the benefit at the J time of the veteran's death be-; cause oi tne income limitation. However, as the parents grow! older and their income is reduced, they may have become) eligible for the Veterans Administration benefit. The surviving, parent, or parents, be-! comes eligible when income falls within the limitation, al-J though this may be years after the veteran’s death. Monthly payments range from $11 to $83 per month, depending upon income of the parent or parents. If a parent is in doubt as to his eligibility, it is suggested that he contact Edward M. Mathews of the Front Royal Office of the Division of War Veterans’ Claims. Mr. Mathews is in Washington at the Clerk’s Office on 1st and 3rd Monday from 2:00 to -4:00 p.m. and will gladly give more details on this subject or any other matter connected with veteran’s affairs.

Winterize Your Motor Vehicles * You probably have already put antl-freeze in the radiator of your car and other vehicles for the winter, but this is only part of the winterizing job, says Easley S. Smith, agricultural engineer at Virginia Tech. Special attention should be given the entire cooling system, electrical system, fuel and air system, lubrication and the tires. Cooling systems, saysSmitly should be drained and flushed periodically. If 6ludge or rust is present, a good chemical cleaner should be used. Check for leaks and worn and cracked hoses, and have Chester Gap HD Club Has Christmas Party The Chester Gap Home Demonstration Club held aChristnas party Thursday night at he fire hall.

See that the thermostat is working properly by removing the radiator cap directly after starting a cold engine and seeing if the water is circulating. A good thermostat stops most of the circulation until the engine warms up. If the engine warms to normal operating temperature in about five minutes in cold weather, the thermostat is probably operating properly. Trash and dirt should be removed from in front of the radiator. It is also important KHS1SES Thur-Fri.-Sat., Dec. 16-17-18: HARLOW —color Carroll Baker SPECIAL KIDDIE SHOW Sat. and Sun.

Replace worn and damaged fan belts and blades. Checked your battery lately? Cold weather puts heavy demands on the battery at a time when it is least efficient. For example, at zero degrees Fahrenheit, a battery is less than half as efficient as at 80 degrees. Batteries should be kept clean, free of corrosion, filled to the proper water level, and properly charged. A poorly charged battery will freeze, says Smith. Keep electrical connections tight for best results. Spark plugs and breaker points need periodic cleaning, adjusting and replacement for efficient engine operation. When servicing the plugs and points, be sure to have the ignition timing checked and adjusted if needed. Air filters on tractors should be checked after every 10 hours of operation. Clean air means less wear, better performance and economy. It is also important to have the carburetor adjusted properly. An over-rich fuel mixture causes excessive fuel consumption, crankcase oil dilution and spark plug fouling. A lean mixture may cause loss of power, poor engine performance and burnt valves. Crankcase oil should be changed at the proper interval and replaced with the type that meets your engine’s needs. For best results, it is recommended that oil be drained when the engine is warm. Oil filters should be serviced and replaced at recommended intervals. Crankcase and transmission breathers require periodic cleaning to keep dust and impurities out, and to allow necessary ventilation. The engineer says that winter weather requires special care of tires. A good tread and proper inflation is need (fest (Sjun^ral ^arbrs H. C.
