NUMBER 11 ckHeros IDAY, JANUARY 27, 1966 10c Copy VIRGINIA I JAN 2 81966 I STATE LIBRARY Tree Seedlings May Be Ordered Now Landowners interested in setting out forest tree seedlings should get their order in soon to the Virginia Division of Forestry. Seedlings can be safely planted from now until . April 15, anytime the ground is not frozen, excessively wet or powder dry. Orders to date have been slower than normal states Dallas G. Wllfong, Jr., District Forester, for the Northern Piedmont District, probably because landowners are concerned about the droughty condition of the soil. A good rain will probably bring with it a flood of seedling orders to the Division of Forestry and, warns Wilfong, some landowners may not get their seedlings when they want them. Under normal conditions, it takes one to two weeks to process an order and lift, package and deliver the seedlings to the buyer. But wet weather at the nurseries and a large number of orders will make it less likely that an individual will get his order on the date he specifies. Orders are handled on a firstcome, first-served basis and individuals can cancel an order of postpone delivery so long as they do so before the trees are delivered. These state-grown forest tree seedlings are sold at cost and are for reforestation purposes only. Order blanks can be obtained from any Service Forester or Chief Forest Warden, from the headquarters of the Virginia Division of Forestry in Charlottes ville, and from the County Agent or Soil Conservation Service.

A STUDY IN BLACK AND WHITE — Snow laden limbs and twigs of the trees Sunday morning produced this intricate design .With the mixture of snow and sleet aided by dipping temperatures the precipitation clung to every* thing though brisk winds fanned the countryside. f Winter Descends as1 Dumps Eight Inches eekend Storm >now; More Wed. The weekend storm, the first snow of the season, left Rappahannock blanketed with 81/2 inches of snow. Beginning before noon Saturday, the snow reached a depth of over six inches then became mixed with rain and sleet and mor*snow, stopping in the early hours of Sunday. More snow yesterday slowed business and traffic and kept schools closed. The highways were kept in good condition throughout the storm and primary roads were clear Sunday morning. However, secondary roads were hazardous and schools in the county have been closed all week. Smiling and enjoying the snow, in addition to all children, were the proprietors of Skyline Ski Area in HarrisHollow. The ski area had been carrying on limited operations with artificial snow, and as the natural snow began to fall it did not deter skiiers, who continued with lessons and skiing throughout Saturday. Bright skies Sunday morn ing brought many enthusiests to the area in spite of the keen winds stirring the fallen snow, and approximately 600 skiiers visited the area during the weekend. _ , group of over 250 youngsi rs from McLean High S' fool had reservations Mond; f at the ski area and many lc al people attended Monday a] to while conditions were ic »al in every respect, and a) tin on Tuesday. An exc< lent weekend is anticipate< at the ski area. Toungsters took advantage oi the school snow vacation tc ice skate and sleigh ride, vilit or catch up on TV. i single vehicle accident w ,6 reported Saturday night at 7 p.m. on Route 622 in Harris Hollow.

Noted Restorer To Speak at Historical Meeting Celebrating County Birthday Williamsburg Architect in residence for many years will present illustrated stories on some of Virginia’s great homes as part of the program planned by the Rappahannock Historical Society to celebrate the 133rd birthday of Rappahannock, which will fall on Tuesday, February 8. Mr. Wai ter M. Macomber, now living in Arlington, was the principal authority on the architectual restoration of Williamsburg. He has graciously consented to come to Washington, Virginia at the request of the Historical Society to tell us of his adventures among the grand homes he has known throughout Virginia. . Besides Williamsburg, Mr. Macomber has a long list of noted restorations to his credit. It was Mr. Macomber who moved The Lindens, the handsome building constructed in 1754 in Danvers, Mass., to 2401 Kalorama Rd., D. G. now a show place. He restored the Rising Sun Tavern in Fredericksburg, and James Monroe’s Office and Library in the same place. The rebuilding of Patrick Henry's home in Ashland was his work too. He did Wheatland, the Home of President James Buchanan in Lancaster, Pa., Tate House, Portland,* Maine, and Locust Grove, Louisville, Ky. These are only a few of the homes Mr. Macomber has been identified with during the past thirty years. Our speaker is now and has been for 25 years Architect for Restoration at Mount Vernon, under whose direction a long range plan for restoration of the Mansion and all dependencies has been in prog* ress. For the past seven years he has peen Restoration Architect [at Stratford, the birth pla|« of General Robert E. Lee, He is involved now with a most puzzeling experience at Verville, in Lancaster County, Virginia. Mr. Macomber is very glad that Rappahannock is doing something about the preservatfon of our past, and he hopes to inspire us to look deeper into the restoration possibilities of all old structures throughout the County. Let us welcome him with a full house on Tuesday night, February 8. We may have to move our meeting to a larger place than the Court House, possibly to the auditorium at the school. Next week it will be announced in the News. The Historical Society wishes all members to attend, and extend an invitation to all who are interested in hearing Mr. Macomber and viewing his excellent slides. Automotive Old Timers’ | Meet; Elect Frost The 27th Annual Luncheon of the Automotive Old Timers’ was held in Miami Beach, Fla. on January 16 with AOT presi dent Tom Frost welcoming the more than 725 members and guests. Mr. Frost reported 1965 had been a year of growth for AOT, with 436 new members bringing the present membership to more than 2200.

Forest Fires Burn 7.5 Acres Here Raymond Johnson, Chief Forest Warden for Rappahannock County reports that three forest fires burned 7.50acres of forest land in the county last year. For the 16-county Charlottes ville District, a total of 321 fires burned 827 acres of forest land. Many of these fires occurred during the past unusually dry fall and many were caused by the illegally ! smoking of game from den , trees. i However, the public in general and especially the true sportsmen co-operated with us in an excellent manner. Thus, the number of fires and their size were kept relatively small. County Albemarle Amherst i Culpeper . Fairfax !

MARCH OF DIMES Rappahannock BCIA Group Formed Rappahannock cattlemen organized what is felt to be the first county Beef Cattle Improvement Association in the United States last Friday night in the County Agent’s office. Since every organization must have a name the group chose Rapp-Comm BCIA. Charter members include H. L. Manwaring, Norman Wilbur L. B. Archer, Judge and Mrs. R. V. Snead with a combined total of 246 cows. This group is purchasing a portable set of scales and will do their own weighing and grading.

Letter To Editor Apples and Youth Dear Editor: I am a resident of Fairfax County and weekend enthusiast; booster, and landowner of Rap pahannock County, who is concerned about the reported shortage of apple pickers - and desire to do something about it. I have no axes to grind nor apples to polish myself, but it seems a shame to have to import labor and even then experience a shortage when there are so many Virginians! After considerable musing on the subject, I have what seems to be a workable solution and present it to you for your encouragement or discouragement. Why not enlist the aid of high school students in Fairfax and nearby counties? They could be motivated by 1) Desire to come to the aid of Virginia farmers and demonstrate that youth is not as soft as some say,. 2) Desire for healthful outdoor activity with a purpose, and 3) Money. ut course toe School Boards would have to be approached regarding time off on an Individual or school basis and bus transportation arrangements. Cert&lnly there would be some opposition to the release of students for a week or so, but we might succeed. This would not only help the apple growers but would help die students to develop a broad er outlook and sense of achieve ment. Would be interested to hear from anyone who believes this to be workable or unworkable '- and particularly those who would cooperate in the endeavor. ti<ramRoger P»,Batche}der 2220 Glasgow Road Alexandria, Va. £2307 Letter To Editor l Dear Editor: l For the first time in sev‘ eral months I was in the : Rappahannock Public Library :• last Saturday morning. I was ; amazed at the number of rer cent accessions of new popu; lar books as well as a wide variety of the “tried and true* classics. I was greatly impressed, also, by the neatness and orderliness of the attractive quarters. To think, only three years ago the county was Without a public library of any sort! Now it has a centrally-located library, open at convenient hours, ready to loan books to all and sundry, and to offer suggestions to persons whc may be undecided just what book they should read to provide -entertainment, inspiration or practical knowledge. It se^ms to be apropos tc quote here a passage from the chapter, “The Magic Key* in John D. Snider’s “I Love Books*: hooks are of the people, by the people, for the people. They are no longer a luxury; they are a necessity. We value them not so much for what we see in them as for what we see through them - not because we get so much out of them, but because through them we get so much more out of life. They make us feel more at home in an extraordinarily interesting but complex world. Life indeed becomes more worth while, more filled with contentment* more complete in accomplishment, when we spend a little time each day with die world’s best society to be found in books." . Surely the people of Rappahannock owe a rousing vote of thanks to Mrs. B. M. Miller and Mrs. R. E. Patzig for their dedicated labors in behalf of the county’s library. The one best way the public can show their appreciation Is by a greatly increased use Of the library's facilities.

Parents generally realize that some oral habits, such as thumb-sucking, when carried on too far in the child's age, affect the teeth in such a way as to push them into abnormal positions, Thumbsucking is only one of the socalled "bad” oral habits. Mouth breathing can also be detrimental to the child's health. It is often overlooked and undetected. The importance of proper attention for mouth breathers is stressed this winter during the 18th National Children's Dental Health Week, sponsored Feb. 6-12 by the Ameri 'can Dental Association. | Mouth breathing means that the individual has a habit of breathing through the mouth. When this occurs continuous ly, the gum tissues are lrri tated through the drying effects of the air. The tissues become inflamed, sometimes swollen and even painful. Mouth breathing can contri mite to a ainerent Kina oi tooth decay pattern than usu ally seen. The typical mouth breather shows large whitish soft spots around the gum line of the front teeth, the result of drying of the foreign material that collects about the necks of the teeth. A continual mouth breather often develops a change In the post tlon of the teeth, or In other terms, ,may also develop a malocclusion. When the child continually holds his mouth open, the muscular support of the tongue and lower Up are lost to the upper teeth. The teeth collapse toward the Inside of the mouth, thereby narrowing the dental arch. Often the front teeth will begin to protrude. When a child continually breathes through his mouth, the air does not pass through the nose, missing the import ant function that the nose plays In preparing the air for the lungs. As dry, dirty, cold air from the outside passes through the nose, the air Is filtered by the hairs in the nose; It is warmed by the large mass of blood vessels that are inside the nose, and Is humidi fled by the moisture that the nose contains. Mouth breathing usually will result In an Increase in upper respi ratory Infections. The child will have more colds, or even suffer a more serious lung problem. Not every child who breathes through his mouth should be considered g mouth breather, for many childreh have short upper lips and will keep their mouths open while breathing though their nose. Who then, becomes a mouth breather? Children with narrow faces have a tendency to have narrow airways or noses, easily closed off because of a minor cold. Some children will have enlarged adenoid or tonsil tis sue, which normally grown in excess up to aboot -To years of age and then diminishes in size. During this period, the ‘ V' These ere some of the horses at the North Wales Quarterhorse Farm, near Warrenton. ,♦ Future Freedom Now At Stake We live, as every follower of the news media has been told on innumerable occasions, in an affluent society— perhaps the most materially affluent in history. Just about everything has been going up and up, seemingly without pause or end—family income, investment and savings, the gross national product, the enormous sums devoted to industry expansion and better ment of facilities, consumer spending and so on. This, the economists inform us, has been a prosperity unparallel’ ed both in its extent and in the length of time it has continued without a recession. The nation has cause to take pride in all this. But it would be morally and practically wrong to look only at the myriad dollar signs and thoughtlessly conclude that all is right, and there is little for the majority of Americans to worry about. In a far away nation that com paratively few of us could spot accurately on the map, we are engaged in one of the cruelest wars in our experience. It is a war which has grown beyond all expectations and, unless every sign is wrong, is aesunea to grow 10 a mucn greater extent still. Soldiers of the United States are dying in tragically increasing numbers in that war. It is making heavy demands on our wealth and our materials, and far larger demands are yet to come. How many of us here at home, during the past holiday season in which every sales record apparently was broken, gave more than passing thought to that war and the vast sacrifices it is demanding of the few? How many of us feel, and share as best we can, the responsibilities that those few are discharging for us all? How many of us realize that there is small affluence—save an affluence of weapons--in Viet Nam? And how many of us realize that, here at home, the odds are heavy that we shall have to abandon many an ambitious government program if we are airway may be obstructed by the tonsils. The child is forced to breathe through his mouth until he outgrows his enlarged tonsils. He develops a breathing habit not easily cor rected. Mouth breathing is very com mon between the ages of 4-12 and is easily diagnosed by your physician or dentist. It should be corrected to prevent harm ful dental and physical effects. t o maintain this nation a« a bastion and arsenal of freedcm in a world where tyrannies are on the march. The warning signs are up. The prospect of more tax reduction, held out a short time ago, has all but vanished. Informed talk now is of possi ble tax increases. The welfare state plans, whatever one may think of their desirability, will, it seems certain, j be cut back. At the highest, levels of government, new and urgent fears of more inflation have recently found a placeand there is more and more realization of the fact that pro- ' tection of the dollar is abso- { lutely essential to this nation’s strength and even survival. ' It is easy, in a time of gen eral prosperity, for a people i to avoid problems—to look ! away from clotrds on the horizon. It is also fatal, as history , has proven over and over again. The strength of the United States cannot be measured merely in material gains. These, in the long run, are the least of the story. That strength must be measured in moral and spirit ual values that place freedom above all things, and a determination to protect our freedom whatever the costs. The mass man is destined for a well-deserved obscurity. Re spect for the individual"* a knowledge that no two ofr;us are precisely alike, a pfyfound belief in the worth arid dignity of each of us—these were the principles op which this nation was built. They must be sustained if this nation is to endure. Let us enjoy our material advantages. But, above all, let us put them in per!spective--a nd never forget !that a life of freedom means I infinitely more.

Experience Teaches 4-BPers Value of Their Club Work A round of banquets in the finest hotels and an evening of “pop” concert music under the direction of Arthur Fiedler were some of the activities enjoyed by three Virginia teenagers who attended the recent National 4-H Club Congress in Chicago. Chosen as delegates after being named state project winners by the Cooperative Extension Service were: Robert Scott ' Coleman, 18, of Rawlings; Martha Fleming, 10, of Richmond, and David Whitt, 17, of Aylett. Coleman, the son of Mrs. Ann Sturt, won the trip in the electricity project, sponsored by Westinghouse Electric Corpora non. He nas completely rewired his home and a recreation pavilion. “One of our outstan ding young citizen* in Brunswick County,” said Coleman «»«» UpfllKe assistant county extension agent, in evaluating Coleman’s 4-H achievements. Miss Fleming, the daughter WHM Min Flaming of Mrs. E. C. Fleming Jr., won the leadership project sponsored by The Sears-Roebuck Foundation. Two years ago she was named the outstanding 4-H leader in Henrico County. During her stay in Chicago, Miss Fleming was one of a group of 4-H girls and their adult leaders who toured the Art Institute. Whitt, the son of Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Whitt, excelled in the field crops project sponsored by Arcadian Products Department, Allied Chemical Corporation. His field crop projects included tobacco, com and soybeans. During their stay in Chicago, Coleman and Wbitt joined a group of 4-H boys and their adult leaders for a tour of International Harvester. gaits, cutting and barrel racing. The demonstrations will be conducted by experts well qualified to teach techniques of horsemanship. A yearling Quarter Horse sired by Tambano King will be given to a 4-H member from Virginia. Tambano King is the fourth national leading sire of Register of Merit in the American Quarter Horse Association. At present arrangements are being made through Mrs. Joyce DeBergh, Rappahannock Light Horse and Pony 4-H Leader, and parents to transport our boys and girls to the event. All members will be notified by letter as soon as details are available. W. H. Lyne, Extension Agent Bugs Or People Winds of controversy, sometimes violent, have swirled around the use of pesticides in agriculture. Deep fears have been generated. Some people have gone so far as to oppose all applications of these chemicals to crops. Fortunately, moderate and authoritative voices have been raised in answer. Oneisfound in an arresting new book entitled “Bugs or People?* and carrying the subtitle *A Reasoned Answer to Opponents of Pesticides.* It has been published by the old firm of m* Appieton-ventury, ana its author is Wheeler McMlllen whose credentials are outstanding. He has been a writ er on farm subjects for over 40 years, has edited leading rural magazines and is the author of other books on agri cultural practices. Mr. McMlllen takes *a moderate, convincing position. He is no opponent of reasonable controls and safe guards so far as chemicals are concerned. In this, he enjoys much company. All manner of instltiftions and persons seek the maximum safety in their use—the manufacturers, the users, government agencies, health departments, farm organizations, and agron nomists. But Mr. McMlllen finds—and his arguments are documented and compelling— that pesticides are as a rule perfectly safe and are abso lutely essential to our food supply. He cites chapter and verse of ruinous blights and crop failures caused by plant diseases. Science through chemistry, has provided the answer. The need—a need that cannot be reasonably contradicted— for pesticides is summed up in this passage from the book: “Let the insects go unchecked? They will go their relentless ways. For humankind they will produce disease and death, poverty, hunger and discomfort. Man has no Intelligent choice except to fight back with the best weapons he can command." • Suits • Coats • Dresses - - for boys and girls Infants thru Teen Sizes , » SEE OUR GRANNY LOOK FASHIONS Jack and Jill Shop Culpeper, Va.

Advantages: doesn’t warp or buckle, makes good contact with unit or burner, holds heat well. Disadvantages: heavy, handle not heat resistant, heats slowly, rusts if not kept dry and oiled, may require reseasoning. Stainless steel. Advantages: doesn’t rust, not affected by acids and alkalies, doesn’t chip or pit. Disadvantages: poor heat conductor, heats unevenly and causes some foods to stick, brown stains appear if overheated. Stainless steel with copperclad bottom. Advantages: addition of copper improves its ability to conduct heat, heats more evenly and quickly than stainless sheet alone. Disadvantages: skillet must have medium heat to prevent uneven heating, brownish stains appear on steel, copper tarnishes. Stainless steel with copperclad bottom and a chromium coat.

While the week-end st&rm howled outside, Susan Latham’s cats, Peppermint and Isabel, found a cozy retreat on the hack of the couch at the Latham home in Amissville. ? Roy James holds a huge hornet’s nest which he found in the boxwood bush at the home of Mrs. Ritchie Colvin near Amissville. The nest measured 47i inches in circumference. Hornets were the first papermakers. They make paper nests from wood and plant fibers which they have chewed. The female starts the nest in spring making a few nest cells in which she lays eggs. When the young hatch and mature they become workers and help enlarge the nest, gather food and rear additional broods. The nest is used only one season and in the fall the queen leaves to hibernate. 1 ‘ ? % ?',ijf\ | %' A Day in the Life of March of Dimes Girl THERE'S NO BETTER TONIC than a guitar lesson at a happy way to start the day, says Lori Ann Wagner, 5, Milwaukee, Wit., the National 1966 March of Dimes Potter Girl.

As the day came to an end Saturday, skiiers left their equipment outside while they stopped at the lodge for drinks and food before calling it a day and heading home. Over 600 people enjoyed skiing during the weekend. Enjoying the snow school vacation Tuesday are Gail Updike and Karl Burke of Washington as they sleigh ride on Updike’s hill. 555555555555555555553?

Feed Grain Program Similar to Last Years Farmers in Rappahannock County who plan to take part in the 1966 feed gtain program will find that signup procedure and general program requirements this year are similar to those followed for last year's feed grain program, according to H. S. Barksdale, Chairman of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation County Committee. For example, the first step in taking part in the program is to fill out an intention-toparticipate form and leave it with the ASCS county office. This can be done at any time during the signup period, which runs from January 17 through April 1 in Virginia. After a producer has signed up, he is responsible for (1) diverting acreage from corn, grain sorghum, and/or barley to the extent he had agreed upon; (2) designating the acreage of land to be diverted and establishing approved conservation use on that land; (3) maintaining the conserving Dase acreage on his farm; and (4) not exceeding the feed grain base on any other farm in which he has an interest, Barksdale explained. Farmers who request it will be eligible to receive 50 percent of any diversion payment they may expect to earn under the 1966 program at the time they sign up. Farmers who request it may receive this payment at the time they sign up for the program. Membership Meeting of Culpeper Hospital Culpeper Memorial Hospital s annual membership meeting will be held in the auditorium of the Educational Building of the Culpeper Baptist Church at 8 p.m. on February 4, 1966. Members will receive reports from members of the Board of Directors and the administrator, John D. Phillips, on the operation of the hospital for the year 1965. Directors will be elected at this time. Membership in the Corporation is composed of Charter members, Life members and Annual members. Life members are individuals who have contributed at least $500 to the hospital and Annual members are individuals who paid $3 membership dues for the year. Annual members will have the opportunity to renew their membership for 1966 by paying the annual $3 membership dues at the meeting. All interested persons are invited to the meeting and sncouraged to become members. Win 4-H Public Speaking Prizes Mitt Sw«rht C«th Two Virginia teen-agers have talked their way into high 4-H Club honors. For Laura Anne Swartz, 17, of Buckingham Court House, the outstanding girl in the Virginia 4-H Public Speaking pro-_^ gram, the prize is a chest of silverware. And Howard Cash, 14, of Poquoson, the outstanding boy, is sporting a new 19jewel wrist watch for his forensic talent. The prizes, donated by The Pure Oil Company, were announced by the Cooperative Extension Service, which sponsors the 4-H program. Miss Swartz, an auburn-haired senior at Buckingham Central High School, says she is most proud of having won the Virginia Public Speaking Achievement Book. Her record also includes a state blue ribbon, seven county-level blue ribbons, two district level blue ribbons and two trips to the Virginia State Short Course in public speaking. She has made 132 public appearances since she became interested in public speaking in 1958. Cash has been a 4-H’er for only four years. But in that time, he has captured the title of state public speaking achievement winner and three district titles. Miss Swartz and her parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. F. Swartz, live on a 274-acre farm in Buckingham County. Cash and his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Cash, live in Poquoson. A Year of Paradox One thing that may be said of the year that just slipped into the limbo of history is that it has been a year of paradox. In many areas, giant strides have been taken toward man’s highest aspirations, spiritually and materially. The Ecumenical Council that came to a close in 1965 and the Pope’s unprecedented visit to the United Nations were clear signs that the Christian world is working toward a unity never before known. As the year closed, American achievements in space lifted men’s eyes and minds beyond the confines of earth. A window, however small, has been opened on the mysteries of the universe. This has come about through the finest efforts of a free nation. We have progressed in space and elsewhere because the “Team* has never lost sight of the individual. And so America hit new heights in 1965. But the year of the paradox has brought many good American citizens who love their country to the edge of despair. They see around them an unthinking acceptance of a spreading bureaucracy. In the midst of apparently unprecedented prosperity, they see a war on poverty with a potential for waste and corruption that is truly dismaying. They see at home much cynical indifference to the war in Viet Nam which is demanding an ever-increasing price in men material and money. There we meet In combat a,people who hold fanatic convictions and will go to any length in pursuit of victory. To meet this callenge, we—all of us, not just those who are bearing the cruel burden of the fighting-need the kind of spirit that carried the Continental army through the Revolution and on to victory and national freedom. Even as we have reached heights of material achievements, along with eloquence in expressing good will toward our fellow man, the big question is: Can wo honestly look back over the past year and say that we have adhered to the principles upon which this country wasfounded--namely, respect for the right of private property, respect for the indi vidual, and a belief that a government of limited powers is the best government? It is doubtful is many of us can answer in the affirmative. The growth of government muni ficence has taken its toll of independence. While we talk so much oi freedom for other peoples, we should take stock of the status of our own freedom. Is it a quality of freedom^that rings true? Hardly! Inoneway or another, more people each day are being required to do what they are told to do by some authority, and more and more frequently that authority has its source in Washington. The growing voice of authority is inevitable because authority, federal authority, holds the purse strings. The existing prosperity of countless industries, businessmen, farmers, whole communities, is at the absolute mercy of those \^ho award the contracts, the subsidies, the matching funds or whatever you wish to call them. As we enter the new year, there is one resolve that should be taken rtby all. A resolve that would end the spectacle of a great nation riding a crest of unparalleled power on one hand and on the other beset by a deepening morass of controls, inflation and a war that has no foreseeable end. We should resolve that the constitutional system of government of checks and balances as laid down bv the founders of the nation--is the best kind of a government to live under; that the rights of private proper New Arrivals Mr. and Mrs. C.

The veteran home buyer's average monthly housing expenses, including loan payments, taxes, utilities, etc., have increased during the same period from $107 to $151, The average purchase price of a home bought under the GI program has increased from $8,679 in 1950 to slightly more than $16,000during 1964. One of the main reasons for this jump is that veterans are buying bigger and better homes. Slightly more than 71 percent of the homes purchased with GI loans in 1964 were bought with no down payment. The average loan term was 28 years and two months. Complete information on this or any other phase of veteran’s benefits is available at my office of the Virginia Division of War Veterans’ Claims.

Dr. Mack I. Shanholtz, State Health Commissioner, announced the grant this week. One is for a short-term training program to be given six medical and dental students in the summer months. It will be the first time the Department has received federal funds for this purpose. The $6,528 grant was requested by the Department’s Division of Local Health Ser^ vices, in cooperation with Medl cal College of Virginia’s Department of Preventive Medicine. The other award is for a train ing course for nursing in tuber culosis and other long-term respiratory diseases at Blue Ridge Sanatorium in Charlottesville. The $2,112 grant is in response to an applica tion by the Bureau of Public Health Nursing. ine larger grant provides training four medical and two dental students, who may be chosen from any accredited teaching institution in the nation. The instruction is calculated to direct students’ atten^ tion to the problems of evaluating community needs and developing programs best geared to patient needs and community resources. A possible by-pro<Juct could be influencing students either to enter the field of public health or to practice in rural areas. Presently two of the Department’s local health directors are doctors who were trainees under a similar program using state funds. The nursing grant is expected to strengthen instruction in new concepts and procedure^ concerning care to patients with pulmonary tuber culosis and other long-term respiratory diseases. It will provide 10 days of instruction for eight nurses in April. These will be chosen from professional nurses in general and special hospitals and from public health and visiting nurse services where care is provided for tubercu losis or other chronic respira tory conditions. The Bureau of Public Health Nursing is hopeful of receiv ing grants that will provide for a second training period in October and a third in January, thus providing training for 24 nurses within the next 13 months.

One of these ...the hospital insurance program... will help you pay your bills for doctors services and for certain other medical services. The medical insurance program pays 80% of the reasonable costs or charges for covered services, except for the first $50 in a calendar year. Since the program does not begin until July 1, 1966, no expense before that date can count for 1966. This program is voluntary...and calls for monthly payments of $3 per person. Everyone over 65 can qualify, except certain aliens who have neither resided in this country for a period of 5 years nor have become entitled to social security benefits. Although you can qualify for this voluntary medical insurance protection without too much difficulty, you do have to enroll. Persons who are not entitled to social security monthly benefits must enroll for hospital and medical benefits. Persons who become age 65 before January 1 of next year must enroll between September of this year and March 31 of next year. If you fail to enroll in time, the rate may be slightly higher and you will lose valuable protection when you later enroll. If you become 65 after December 31 of this year, your enrollment period starts with the third month NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that pursuant to Sections 29-125 and 29126 ol the Code of Vire'nia. the Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries, meeting at Richmond, v irginia, January 14, 1966, ordered the proposed change in its rules and will hold a Public Hearing for the purpose of adopting this proposed rule at Room 100, 7 North Second Street, Richmond, Virginia, 9:30 a.m. on February 19, 1966.

Nettles, Chairman Publish: Statewide 1-20 I 1 immediately preceding the month of your attainment of age 65 and ends with the third month following. A fact to bear in mind, however, is that if you want your coverage to start at the first possible month—the month you attain age 65—you must enroll during the three-month period before that month. The services covered under the medical insurance provisions include physicians’ and surgeons’ services whether received at -home, in the doctor's office, in a clinic or in a hospital...it includes up to 100 home health visits it provices other medical and health services such as diagnostic tests; x-ray or radium treatments; surgical dressings; splints, cast; certain ambulance services; braces; artificial legs, arms and eyes; rental of medical equipment such as iron lungs; and many other items and services. Services not covered include routine physical checkups, eye-glasses, hearing aids, private duty nurses, custodial care, and personal services such as a telephone or television in your hospital room.
