Rappahannock News, February 3, 1966

Rappahannock Faros Moderately As Week-End Blizzard Strikes With the State just digging out of the weekend blizzard, additional snow fell Tuesday afternoon and evening and Wed nesday rooming to add to the winter’s accumulation of Rappahannock’s 24 to 28 inches which blankets the countryside. Between ten and twelve inches of snowfell here Saturday and on Sunday high winds whipped the light snow into drifts of untold depths. People and livestock were drifted in and motorists were stranded. The Governor declared Virginia in a state of emergency. The Department of Highways was authorized to enlist the aid of all available heavy duty equipment from private concerns to assist in the battle of drifting roads • and other emergencies. At one time Sunday every interstate, primary and secondary road was blocked at one point or another bringing traffic almost to a standstill and stranding motor1 ists for long periods. In Rappahannock Route 211 between Washington and Sperry ville was blocked intermittently Sunday and Monday as gale winds lashed out and whipped the blinding snow. Secondary roads were completely impassable. Weekend ski enthusiasts were snowed in at Skyline Ski Area in Harris Hollow. A bus load of 37 skiers from Norfolk plus the ski area personnel, about fifty-five in all, were trapped at the ski area from Saturday until late Monday afternoon. Except for suf fering from boredom, the group was in good condition. They could not be permitted to ski for in case of an injury there would have been no way to get medical attention. Many emergencies were taken care of by the highway crews and police department, as they dug out cases of illness, expectant mothers and homes where fuel supplies had dwindled. There were few to no mail deliveries Monday even on star routes, and several days with no rural delivery. There were several cases of exposure here, many burst water pipes and radiators, and countless inconveniences, but all considered the county did not fare too badly. On the credit side of the ledger are the facts that power was not interrupted and most telephone lines survived the storm. Services News John W. Pullen, whose wife, Dorothy, lives in Sperryville, was promoted to staff sergeant Jan. 15 in Vietnam, where he is serving with the 87th Engineer Battalion. SergCarit Pullen, 27, a supply sergeant in Headquarters Company of the battalion, entered the Army in 1958 and arrived overseas in September 1965. The sergeant was graduated from Rappahannock County High School, Washington, in 1957. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Clyde W. Pullen, live on Route 1, Box 52, Washington. Pvt. James F. Pullen, a son of Mr. and Mrs. James Pullen of Washington, is in training with the U. S. Marine Corps at Parris Island, South Carolina. His address: Pvt. James F. Pullen, PLT 212 Co. I, 2nd ATBN, Recruit Training Regiment, Marine Corps Recruit Depot, Parris Island, South Carolina 29905. With all of the inconvenience of the blizzard of *66, there is a bright side too. The scenery is beautiful where the fluffy whipped snow clings to the banks and rolls over like tufts of frozen custard. Much of Route 211 between Washington and Sperryville was just like this. Drifts cover the rail fence and sweep out to the highway. On Rout* 211 n**r Pin* Knot Ian highway crewmen had a difficult time Sunday and Monday hooping one lane open for traffic. This picture was takan between curt of wind which whipped the enow at tfanoa until risibility was nil. Rappahannock Races Set For March 5th Despite a deluge of snow, frigid temperatures, gale winds, monumental drifts, the Virginia Point-to-Point races will be run. i The Rappahannock Hunt has just announced its 1966 Pointto-Point date, March 5, at James W. Fletcher’s Thornton Hill Farm race course, one mile south of Sperryville on Route 522, at 12:30 p.m. The program includes a full card of 8 races, including the famous Fox Hound Race. Oliver Durant II, Chairman of the Rappahannock Race Con* mittee, comments, “A new 3/4-mile turf race has been scheduled on this year’s program. It should be a WOW as it provides a spot for those fast huntin’ horses that like to win the hunt flat-out’.* The race is open to both ladies and gentlemen riding horses owned and fairly hunted prior to January 1, 1966. All of the seven other carded races are jumping races over timber, with the exception of the Junior 1/2-mile race on the flat and, of course, the Hounds Race. Owners wishing to enter horses in the Rappahannock Point-to-Point Races may get entry forms and rules information from the Race Secre tary, Mrs. Anthony Slewka, Boston, Va., Phone: Area code 703, Culpeper, Valley 5-0841. Also those wishing to make car parking reservations, (which view the race course,) and to order admission tickets should contact the race secretary. Accident Caused By Icy Roads held to a minimum. A twovehicle collision was reported in Flint Hill on Saturday. Robert S. Pullen of Flint Hill was leaving a service station there when he skidded into Cecil Pullen also of Flint Hill who was traveling north on Route 522. Robert Pullen was operating a 62 Ford which was damaged to the extent of $150. Cecil Pullen was driving a 54Chevrolet owned by his father Lloyd Pullen. Damage tothis vehicle was estimated at $200, according to Trooper W. A. Bunt in. No charges were made. mere There’s a Will There’s a Way Oscar Lindgren, whose home is Jessamine Hill Farm outside of Washington, maintains an office in New York City. Sunday evening, when he usually goes to Washington, D. C. and boards a plane for New York found him at his home with four miles of unbroken roads with drifts of snow up to fifteen feet stretching between him and the main road. Leaving home around 5 p.m. Mr. Lindgren on foot, with Mrs. Lindgren on skis breaking a track, they made their way through their lane and out of Tiger Valley arriving at the home of Dr. John Peyton Snead on Mt. Salem Avenue after more than a twohour trudge through the snow. After pausing briefly there, Mr. L. V. Merrill was contacted and he agreed to drive them to Washington. When Mrs. Lindgren returned to the county, after midnight, a walk through still more unbroken drifts faced her before she arrived at Mt. Prospect, the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Miller where she spent the remainder of the night. Her adventures were not yet finished. Upon waking in the morning she found her room was shared by a live starling which had come down the chinrv ney, apparently in search of warmth. Mrs. Lindgren returned to her home Monday on skis to see about her household and stable and make plans for the return of her three children who had been snowbound In homes of friends. She is said to have remarked that her native Sweden was never like this. The Harris Hollow road leading to Skyline Ski Area was bulldozed open Mondayf afternoon to release about fifty people trapped there all weekend by the huge drifts. Apparently there is no enthusaism to equal that of skiers for according to one highway workman when they opened the road for the fifty odd to get out 150 went in. Historical Society Meeting Postponed The program scheduled for February 8 by the Rappahannock Historical Society celebrating the 133rd birthday of our first president. An interesting program is planned. Mark this important date on your calendar to be present at the Court House in Washington on Tuesday evening, February 22. Bravo! Rappahannock 2nd But we should have been first. Why not? That is, first in percent of heifers vaccinated against Brucellosis. We have been tops; let’s fight and pull to get there in ’66! Gloucester with but an estimated 200 head vaccinated 190 or 95%. Rappahannock immunized 2035 or 88.5% JanuaryNovember inclusive 1965. Having vaccinated 169 in November, we will need to have done 173 head in December to catch up with Gloucester’s 11 months’ achievement which is doubtful. Culpeper showed 72.5%, Madison 51.5%, Page 22%, Fauquier 52.8% and Warren 45.2%. We were 8.9% higher than third placed Essex County. W. H. Lyne Extension A gent-Agriculture Any Shadow? According to the legend brought to America by the early settlers from Germany and Great Brltlan the ground hog is the weather prognosticator to watch this week to see if spring weather is near at hand. It seems that if the furry animal came out of his hole yesterday and saw his shadow then he was so frightened that he will scurry back for six more weeks. If on the other hand he didn’t see his shadow, then he will go forth in search of food as he thinks that spring is on its way. Scientist’s have not verified the accuracy of the ground hog's behavior and since our winter has only begun to assert itself in the last few weeks it seems improbable that the highly touted weather authority was able to burrow Its way out. Local Health Directo Outbreak Of T.B. In 1 The local Health Director, Dr. L. O. Fears, Jr., and the Tuberculosis and Health Association . q| Northern ^'Virginia Issued thefollowlng state ment this week on the recent outbreak of tuberculosis in a Detroit nursery school: “The Detroit tuberculosis epidemic in which a reported 14 out of 57 pre-school children contracted TB from direct exposure to one unknown active case emphasizes the problems inherent in dealing with this disease.* The first problem is the contagious nature of the disease itself. Tuberculosis is passed from an infectious person to his associates through the mouth and nose. A cough, a sneeze - or eVen a song may spread the germs from this individual. The TB germ is a hearty one. It can live outside the body, in the air, for several days. Once inhaled, it can live inside the body for years - often a lifetime. It may remain inactive and walled off in a tiny lump in the body (called a “tubercle*). Only when a person's resistance, is lowered will it activate, or break through the wall and cause illness. Putting this in terms of the Detroit epidemic, although 14 children have contracted tuberculosis already, additional youngsters no doubt, have live TB germs in their bodies, inhaled from their teacher contact. Although not sick now, they may develop tuberculosis some time later in life. The obvious question is, “Why do these epidemics occur in a disease which most people feel is all but eradi VHkVW • A IIVOV vplUv II I ICO Utcur for two reasons. One is the contagious nature of TB which I have just discussed: The ease with which active germs can be passed from one to the other and their characteristic stamina in staying alive both in the air and in the body. The second point i§ that TB has not been eradicated. We can detect the presence of tuberculosis in the body. Once detected, it carfbe effectively treated. We can control its development. But tuberculosis is still very much with us. Our attempts to control tuberculosis have made such incidents as the Detroit epidemic infrequent. Yet it must be noted that as recently as December, 1965 there were TB outbreaks reported among our men on the USS Boston and the USS Wasp, and in the Weston State Hospital in West Virginia. The real problem Is not only the stubborn nature of tuberculosis Itself, but public r Comments On )etroit apathy to the dangers of the disease. How many individuals have* had the skin test (*tuberculia"> to reveal the prw*« : fence of TB-germs in the body? How many parents insist that teachers and others in constant contact with their children are periodically examined for presence of tuberculosis? In many respects, the disease is easier to fight than the indifference of the public. In 1963 the U. S. Surgeon General developed a Task Force on Tuberculosis composed of seven experts and among their recommendations were the following: 1. Tuberculin testing of children entering school and examination of reactors’ associates; 2. Examination of school teachers and employees. These recommendations are part of a program of tuberculosis control to be carried out over a 10-year period by the Public Health Service with the cooperation of health departments and state and local tuberculosis associations. After these ten years it is hoped that the incidence of active TB in children under 15 will be decreased by over 90%, and the incidence of relapsed cases (such as the teacher in Detroit) will be near zero. The Task Force plan could promise an entire generation free from the scourge of tuberculosis. It could offer a promise that the tragedy of the Detroit nursery school would never be repeated.

Bulls On Test At Front Royal Seventy-four boys are halfway through a 168 day door-die test at Front Royal, but none has stopped for a smoke or coffee. The boys are bull calves being tested for growth and conformation as part of the breeding experiment at the Beef Cattle Research Station. Winners in the test, which will be over March 30, will be used in the genetic sellection studies; losers will go to the butcher. “Each year we feed pbout 50 bull calves for 24 weeks after weaning," says Bob priode, station superintendent. "But, this year we have a record 74—29 Angus, 21 placement test to determine how an applicant cah best be utilized overseas. |The test measures general aptitude and tike tk^iftvinfrtrlrrrr'ii] irntorr11ale, mSPedifcaficmor femevement. (If test scoresvlndicated a limited language*-learning ability, for example, the Peace Corps tries to place the applicant in an English-speaking country.) The placement test requires no preparation is noncompetitive—a n applicant can neither pass nor fail. The application form, not the placement test, is the most important factor in the selection of Volunteers. Persons interested in serving in the Peace Corps must fill out an application, if they have not already done so, and present it to the tester before taking the test. Applications may be obtained from local post offices or from the Peace Corpq, Washington, D.C. 20525.' The placement test takes about an hour and a half. An optional achievement test for applicants who have - studied French or Spanish requires another hour. ! Forestry Group Meet In Richmond The 23rd annual meeting of Virginia Forests, Inc. was held in Richmond Tuesday and Wednesday of this week with an attendance in excess of 500. A luncheon and banquet were scheduled in additon to business sessions, with presentation of the 17th annual "Man of the Year in Forestry" award made at the bahquet. Virginia Forests, Inc. is an association of forest landowners, wood-using industries, and others who wish to promote the development and wise use of the forest and related resources of Virginia. President is A. L. Wenrich, Conti nental Can Company, Hopewell. Hereford and 24, Shorthorn. Of these, 61 are from the experimental lines here at the station; and 13 are from purebred breeders. The calves have gained 2.78 pounds per day to this half-way point in the test—up more than three fourths of a pound a day from their gain to weaning." The purpose of the test is to find, and later to use, bulls with outstanding growth potential, and those with good solid beefy appearance. Genetic studies at Front Royal and elsewhere have shown that these traits are inherited, and that a breeder can change the performance levels of his own herd by using a bull with good growth, good type or both. Experimental selection lines at the Front Royal station show this. Selection lines--one for growth rate and one for typeare maintained in each breed in the experiment. Results have shown that calves from the growth selection lines are generally faster growing than the calves, from the type selection lines, while the opMbjgFMPwier lives from the Front Royal selection lines are included in this year’s test. The winner of the growth contest has often been a calf from the growth selection lines in previous years. In fact, in the last seven years, only two bulls from outside breeders have been used in the Angus and Shorthorn growth selection lines, while 12 came from the Front Royal herd itself. It has been difficult to buy calves that are faster-growing than those produced in the Front Royal herd. On the other hand, the bulls used in the type selection lines most often come from the 10-15 purchased each year from breeders. In the same 7-year period, 10 out of 14 bulls used in the Angus and Shorthorn type selection lines have cotRe from outside breeders. Ken Bovard, animal geneticist at the station, says that this may be because pure bred breeders have selected for better conformation fox many more generations than they have for better-growth. Also Included in this'jo&ar's test are 34 inbred calves, produced by mating close rela tives. Three bulls from one Shorthorn line are gaining more than 2.78 pounds per day on this year’s test, despite more than 50 percent inbreeding. Two years ago their inbred brother was fastest gaining in the Shorthorn test. Outside calves this year came from Virginia Tech, Blacksburg; W. B. McSpadden, Chilhowie; Aluminum Company of America, Alcoa, Tenn Mill Run Farms, Warm Springs; Barterbrook Manor Farm, Stuarts Draft; H. H.

LBJ Goofed With Castro “I think LBJ drove a poor bargain with Castro. In other words he goofed. I don’t know just how many refugees we are supposed to absorb but I think we should have insisted on reciprocity.

Classes begin at the resident school of farriery in May. Even the project’s consultants at Virginia Polytech nic Institute had to consult a dictionary to find out that farriery is the trade of shoeing horses. Yet, the Small Business Ad.Card Of Thanks ' I wish to express my heartfelt thanks to the many friends who remembered me with cards, flowers, gifts, visits and prayers during my recent stay in the University of Virginia Hospital. Their thoughtfulness is greatly appreciated. Ethel Racer mlnlKtratlon has found enough demand for farrierstofinancc the project with a $15,000 loan. Recipient of the loan is 54year-old L u t h e r (Smokey) Ward, who will be hcadrriaster and teacher of the schoolNIc will have a maximum (if 16 students for each 12-week course the year around. Both men and women will be eligible to study at the school on a one-acre tract cast of this city near the North Carolina border. Says Ward, who shod his first horse at the age of 12 under the tutelage of his father 'It's a fact there are more horses in the country than ever before and less farriers. 'And when a horse noeds a pair of shoes, he can’t wait." Ward, a personable, folksy man who plays entertaining bluegrass guitar, is one of the best-known horseshoers in the Southeast. He services customers in several states traveling in a van that is a blacksmith shop on wheels. Students at Ward’s school are to be ready after the course to set up their own blacksmith shops. Tuition will cover room and board and occasional trips to»- horse shows. Queries have come from peo pie in seven states and Canada, Ward says. Select Tax Aid James P.

He offered the following suggestions for this income tax filing period: "Avoid the man who 'guarantees” you a refund. *Be on guard if the preparer . _ OPENS TONIGHT Washington Theatre Washington, Va.
