W. STATE LIBRARY RICHiOHD 19. VA. VOLUME XVIII. NUMBER 13 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1966 10c Copy Literary Loan Request To Be Made For Elementary School Construction All members of the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors were present for the February meeting of the Boprd on Friday the 4th at which time county schools consumed much of the discussion and time. To meet approval of the department of Health, Education and Welfare and receive federal funds additional school facilities are needed here. The Board has been considering two proposed building plans to take care of all elementary children of the county. One plan is for a 30 room school to be constructed on the land recently purchased on U. S. 211 west of Washington. The other plan is for the construction of a 14 room building at this location for part of the elementary pupils and to continue using the Sperryville and Washington elementary schools now in operation. After much discussion of the issue, L. H. Luttrellmade a motion authorizing the School Board to apply for a loan from the Literary Fund of $783,140 for the purpose of building a 30-room school on land recently purchased near Flat Wood on U. S. Route 211, subject to approval of preliminary plans by the Board of Supervisors. Seconding the motion was E. M. Estes. Voting on the issue was tied with Mr. Luttrell, Mrs. Estes and Herbert Foster for and H. B. Wood, A. H. Buckner and J. Newbill Miller voting against. Tiebreaker J. W. Fletcher cast an affirmative > Fire and Rescue Squad Notes 1 Rappahannock Rescue Squad on last Wednesday took Bradley Dodson from his home to Warren Memorial Hospital. On Thursday Mrs. L. H. Jenkins was taken to the Culpeper Memorial Hospital, and on Saturday Ezra Carter was taken to the Culpeper Hospital. On Sunday Willie Hunter was taken to Newton Baker Hospital, Martinsburg, W.

Jenkins of Washington fell at her home Thursday afternoon and fractured her ankle. She was taken to Culpeper Memorial Hospital by Rappahannock Rescue Squad where she remained through yesterday. The Newspaper Must Go Through There is nothing like having a good record and Walter P. Jenkins of Culpeper has established somewhat of an outstanding one. Mr. Jenkins is agent for the Washington Post daily and Sunday newspaper in the Culpeper, Warrenton, Amissville area, and has had this route for 26 years. In that length of time he has failed to complete his delivery twice, both times because of you-knowwhat---snow. The first time this occurred was several years ago in a severe March storm and the other time you guessed it, the Sunday blizzard of ’66. On both of these occasions Mr. Jenkins covered part of his territory but was unable to complete his rounds. The only other times he did not make his deliveries was because he had no product to deliver, the paper was on a strike which lasted two days. He has not had a day off in the past 16 years or spent a whole night at his home in that time. The papers are shipped by truck to Culpeper and Mr. Jenkins picks his up about 2 a.m. except on Sunday when they arrive around midnight. He makes his route of 116 miles (170 on Sunday) and is back home by 7:30 a.m. School System To Hold Conference The Warren-Rappahannock Public School System will hold its Mid-Year Conference at the WarrerfCounty High School Saturday, February 19.

Activity Resumes After Blizzard Activity in |lippahannock has begun to resume a normal pace after the weekend blizzard the last of January. Removal of the snow from the counties highways and secondary roads will cost an estimated $20,000 to $25,000 according to D. S. Butler, Resident Engineer. Schools opened here Monday for the first classes in two weeks, and all buses were able to make their appointed trips. School officials said that attendance has been good this week. A highway spokesman said Tuesday that all roads here were open by late afternoon Thursday and highway crews worked all day Saturday and Sunday pushing back drifts in an effort to widen roads. Though all were open, many of them had been one lane with occasional scooped out places where two vehicles could meet./ All things considered, the Highway Department did a splendid job of digging out and cleaning up the county, assisted by individuals and private equipment. Thursday morning an Army helicopter made a drop ,of supplies to two families in a hollow near Sperryville just as the mountain road was .opened with a front end loader. The request for supplies had been made earlier and bright colored blankets laid out in the snow to mark the area for the drop. The terrain here was not suitable for a copter landing. The storm was costly to the county as a whole and to individuals as well, but this area was not as hard hit as many other places nearby. U. va, Sponsors State aid Course Here The University of Virginia is sponsoring a State-aid course in Children’s Literature #143 at the Rappahannock High School beginning Monday night February 14th at 7:00 p.m. It had been scheduled for the two previous Mondays but due to weather conditions the instructor was unable to attend. The course will last for sixteen weeks from 7:00 - 9:30 p.m. each Monday and will cost $46. Credits will be given on the graduate and , undergraduate level and it can also be taken for non-credit. Six have enrolled for the course but 15 are needed and it is open to anyone interested in literature for children from preschool through Jr* high. For a short while the Poola Mills area was practically “out of this world,” inaccessible because of drifting snow. This drift extended for a half mile without a break. Donald Gore, who is employed by the Highway Department, didn’t agree with sm when I said this snow has gotten dirty now and we need some more new snow to cover it up. The Student Cooperative Association of Rappahannock County High School is holding its annual contest for the election of a “Queen of RCHS” and the following candidates have been selected to represent each grade: left to right, Mildred Dodson, senior candidate; Barbara Dodson, junior; Susan Payne, sophomore; ISIharon Suter, freshman; and Sandra Payne, eighth grade.

A 1951 Letter This letter is reprinted from a February issue of the Rappahannock News in 1951, thougl these many years have passed, one might think it was written yesterday. February 1951 Dear Joe: It*8 been sometime since you were promised a letter from the home county. There have been little changes in Rappahannock, Joe, but you know that. You were raised here and you know how we don’t take quickly to change This winter has been rough, and when we think of you fellows, it makes us ashamed that we are so comfortable in our warm homes. Following a heavy rain recently we had a quick freeze, and you remember all those places in the field where water would rise after a thunder shower in the summer; well, they froze over before they could drain off. Almost every farm had a skating pond, made to order. ine mountains of the county have been in top glory. One morning the Old Rag loomed right in your face! The whole ridge seemed to tower straight ai>ove you and so close you could reach out and touch it. After a 45-minute blizzard one day 50 cars got stuck on the mountain, but "it's an ill wind that blows nobody good," and an enterprising young man of the county just filled the back of his car up with chains and went up the mountain to their rescue - and to the betterment of his business. He had the chains for sale, so why not take advantage of the occasion. Yes, Joe, the local boys are still industrious and pretty Sharp of wit when U comes to turning an extra penny.* The glamorous snow, with its magnificent beauty, was soon slush on the highways, and with a couple of warm days following, the mud roads were in condition to improve your vocabulary if not your disposition. Some of the local boys went to the Mardi Gras. They reported a fine time, and probably didn’t get into any more mischief than usual. One of the fellows whipped the others down by being able to get in at 6 o’clock in the morning and be rarin’ to go by 8, with only two hours sleep. Coming back on the plane, a few of them saw some rough riding. When one of the boys undertook to tease another about crashing, the answer came back quick enough, "That's all right, I’m 25 years older than you are and that means I've had 25 more years than you’ll get a whack at." You won’t find any trouble getting adjusted when you get back home in the county. That long-legged Bill Lyne is still here, going at break-neck speed with his coat-tails fly Hunter Safety Good Winter Project Now that major hunting seasons have ended the Virginia Game Commission suggests that, instead of putting that favored gun in the rack for another year, sportsmen orjganize a hunter safety course for young people in their comjmunity. During the winter lull 'between the end of late hunting {seasons and the start of spring fishing sportsmen generally have more time to devote tc such projects. The Virginia-National Rifle Association Hunter Safety course may be conducted by any qualified hunter safety instructor. The Game Commission stands ready to assist it obtaining or training qualifiee instructors. The Commissioi is also prepared to offer planning assistance and provide course materials for a nominal fee of 30(5 per student The Virginia-NRA course requires a minimum of 4 houre instruction. This time may be easily extended, especially when local sponsoring groupe also have facilities for fielc instruction and range firing Local junior or senior higl schools have proven well suited as locations for huntei safety courses and may ever be used for firing with portable backstops properly setup to insure safety. Groups desiring to sponsor hunter safety courses in theii community may contact theix local game warden or the Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries, P. O. Box 1642, Richmond, Virginia 23213 for details. To help ease the impact of winter snow crises on wildlife the Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries has adopted a practice of snow removal from wildlife clearings and woods roads. This scraping process exposes grit, which is nearly impossible for birds to find in deep snows, and some food. Normal melting will keep such areas open unless they are covered by subsequent snows. Landowners and home owners interested in aiding birds might consider clearing small patches to give birds access to needed grit and natural food. ing behind, miss Louise Shu hirsts a window at Sperryville and yells at a passer-by.

Health Tips Does a young person in your family want to become a nurse? Mostly aspiring nurses are young women, but sometimes young men also enter the profession. / Today’s Health, the magazine of the American Medical Association, advises counselors, parents and prospective ncfrsing school students of four approaches to entering the nursing profession— A four-year college or university program leading to a baccalaureate degree. A three-year diploma orhos pital program leading to a dip loma. A two-year community or junior, college program leading to an associate in arts degree. A 12-to-18-month program for practical nursing. The baccalaureate and diploma school graduates are eligible to take examinations for licensure as an R.N. (registered nurse). The two-year junior college graduate is eligible to take examinations to become an R.N. in many states. The practical nurse graduate is eligible to take examinations for licensure as a licensed practical nurse (L.P.N.). Since licensure laws vary from state to state, the State Board of'Nurse Examiners should be contacted in each state for full information on the requirements for taking an examination. In all cases, the schools must offer a program in which both theory and planned clinical practice with patients in hospital settings, public health agencies, and other institutions are provided for the students. These schools must meet the requirements of the State Board of Nurse Examiners. The requirements include standards for theory, practice, faculty, preparation and other criteria related to the nursing profession. It is important that the school be approved by the National League for Nursing, the official accrediting agency for schools of nursing. _ February is American Heart Month! — HEART RESEARCH PROLONGUlB 40,000 LIVES EACH SYMBOL REPRESCRTS IMS LIVES MOLOUSED.

News All Virginia farm operators should seriously consider the value of using the measurement service offered by the. Agricultural Stabilization and" Conservation Service, Chairman H. S. Barksdale, of the county ASC committee advises. It will pay more often than not, he declared. This measurement service is offered on feed grain, whea; diverted and conserving acres It enables a farmer to know in advance of planting time the exact acreage he must seed or divert from any crop to be in program compliance. It also enables him to plant his full permitted acreage without exceeding such acreage and avoids a loss of seed, fertilizer and the payment of a fee to witness disposition of the excess. This year the ASCS measurement looms more important to the farmer than ever, Mr. Barksdale pointed out. The reason, he explained, is that 69 of Virginians 99 agricultural counties this year will be determining acreage compliance by certification. Under this method the ASCS office will provide each operator with a photocopy of an aerial photograph to assist him in identifying and reporting the acreage of each crop grown. But; Mr, Barkadale said a farmer should be sure he is making a correct report because there is no chance to adjust his acreage after an acreage certification report has been filed. Therefore, the chairman said that paying a small fee for advance measurement service may be a wise investment in many cases. In Rappahannock County photo-copies are available on farms with wheat allotments and feed grain bases. 55 Coop To Hold Regional Meetinjf Approximately 80 members of Southern States Cooperative’s local board and committee members, agricultural workers and retail Agency managers from this area, will attend a regional board meeting in Culpeper on February 15.

The cooperative serves over 231,000 farmer-members who live in Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Delaware and Kentucky. D. D. Ball of Barboursville, a member of the Southern States 15-man board of directors will preside at the meeting. Ball represents the cooperative’s members in a member of the board since 1954. Board members attending the session will hear a report on the cooperative’s operations during the first six months of the 1965-66 fiscal year presented by J. H. Buchholz, Director of Wholesale Services of the organization. One of the highlights of the morning session will be a movie entitled “The Road To The Camerons”, which stresses the importance of agriculture to the entire economy, the efficiency -of this agriculture and the big role that cooperatives have had in developing it and making it efficient. The film was produced by the National Council of Farmer Cooperatives. Following lunch, Buchholz Hunt Breakfast Mrs. and Mrs. Thomas L. Eastham and Mr. and Mrs. H.

I February, Americas History Month By Maxine Harlowe Henry Clay Chapter Daughter* of the American Revolution Our country's history is of great importance to us all. A knowledge of what our forefathers did gives us a better understanding and love for our country as it is today. Our heritage is still a living, throb bing thing, and we should not forget that it will always remain a part of us. We, the people of the most powerful nation on earth are still following the roads where our forefathers walked. The Pilgrims laid a foundation for freedom and faith which has been passed from one generation to the other. This country of ours started to grow with its’ thirteen colonies which spread out along the shores of the Atlantic Ocean, gradually reach ing inland; the New England Golonies, the Middle Colonies, then the Southern Colonies. They meant to be independent and free. 1 he French and Indian Wars threatened the little settlements with destruction just as they were beginning to prosper. These wars were savage and costly to the English settlers. At the end of the wars the French were driven out, thus freeing our colonists from a French danger that had threatened them for many, many years. Also, they were freed, in due time, from all the British interference in their own affairs making possible a new nation; a victorious struggle for the right of self-government. For the product of powerful forces rooted deep in the colonial came the American Revolution. Inspired leadership put those forces to work for the freedom of the colonists from Great Britain. The power of George Washington, and Thomas Jefferson in declaring the independence of this country and in winning it from the most powerful empire in the world at that time. The great George Washington, distinguished and successful leader of the Revolution army, was a man of high ideals and integrity; our first president of the United States. Truly “first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen." Thomas Jefferson, our third president, and author of the Declaration of Independence with which the history of the United States as a nation began; one of the greatest Americans of all times and a prophet of the American way of freedom. James Monroe, our fifth pres ident, is chiefly remembered for the Monroe Doctrine which is still in force. This policy guards our own peace by keeping wars of conquest on the other side of the ocean. Our government of laws the and W. E. Hopkins of the cooperative’s-regional office in Winchester, will present a color slide report entitled “Pace Setting in Cooperative Merchandising". Those expected to attend the meeting from the Sperryville area are: Lee Thornton, manager of Rappahannock Farmers Cooperative and local board members: Tom Masaie, Newbill Miller both of Washington; J. M. O’Bannon, Woodville; Herbert Foster, Flint Hill and H. B. Wood, A. Y. Stokes both of Sperryville. Constitution of the United States with its Bill of Rights was made to safeguard our democracy which our colo* nists gained, and established other principles which they had not gained. This plan of government that guided a small nation at its beginning and a great and powerful nation today. The Constitution should be a source of pride to every American as it is our insurance that we will always truly be a part of a democratic nation. Many nations of the Old World have modeled their new government partly on our Constitution. There were other great men who strove to carry on the dreams of the new Republic including James Madison, “the father of the Constitution"; Benjamin Frankliri, diplomat and investor-scientist; Alfetfander Hamilton, one of America's political thinkers; John Adams, a signer of the Declaration of Independence and second president, said of our Constitution, - “now all thirteen clocks will strike together”. 0 One of the. most interesting events of American history was the westward march which soon began after the* first settlements, and continued with more territory brought under the American Flag. The slowest but first stage of the move in colonial days carried the frontier westward to the Appalachian foothills. More rapidly the second began when the French were drawn from the western country; the third carried our frontier across the Great Plains out over the Rocky mountains to the-Pacific Ocean. The Louisiana Purchase during the Lewis and Clark Expedition was the making of our modern country. Without this and other important events there would never have been anything like the present United States of America today. For the first time this Expedition told America what it had acquired by its great Purchase, and suchanachieve ment it was. After the Expedition came settlers, cattlemen, trappers, farmers, traders and soldiers. One of the most beloved and outstanding of American presidents was Abraham Lincoln, our sixteenth president whose Proclamation of Emancipation made the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States thus banning slavery forever from the United States or any of its possessions. Lincoln’s courage and resolution saved the Union and kept the United States a single nation. Robert E. Lee was the greatest of Confederate heroes, and the North as well as the South admired him. He accepted defeat quietly, without anger or bifteiTiess when he surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant of the Union Army in the McLean house at Appomattox, bringing the War Between the States to a virtual .finish. Each ma was a perfect champion. < his cause, and each fougl for what he ,belleved in. ] this brief , meeting at Appc mattox no part of either ma became him more in the pai he played. A11 succeeding ger erations of Americans shou] se put in their debt for the! aehavior. One of the most imports national problems is the coi servation of our natural r< sources. Nothing much w; said nor donfe about this in tl colonial days! but now is ti concern of our country ai all its people. We have come a long, loi way in the progress of tram portation; from wagon, wag< trains, stagecoach to rai roads and automobiles; fro canoes to steamboat and oce; liner's; from the Wright brotl er’s first successful flight the modern jet planes ai rockets. Any part of thewor can be reached in such a sho time compared to the meai of transportation when 01 country was young. More thi ever we should be mindful our freedom and independen* especially in this atomic a; that we are now living. Our means of communicj tion has advanced far.

Statements from the written applications follow. Nancy, a senior English major, in speaking of what she expects to gain from the program, says, "I would expect to t>e able, through stepping outside the south for the purpose af learning, to experience more totally the temperament if our nation by listening to what another region has to say ibout mutual Problem#." She llso added'*that she"feeIsJit will be her responsibility to communicate her experience :o other interested Bereans - ’acuity and administration, as well as students. Linda, also a senior English major, says, “Ideally, I would hope to gain a frame of reference from the proposed trip to Smith which would enable me to honestly evaluate the significant goods and evils of Berea." she adds that she feels it will be her responsibility to share with other Berea students any new perspectives she gains from the exchange. Two Smith students will be at Berea for the same period. They will attend selected classes and other planned functions in order to gain a better understanding of their southern peers. Nancy and Linda began their trip Sunday morning by plane from Lexington, Ky.

Hundreds Aided By Road Clearing Forces The critically ill. . .isolated rural families without fuel or food, or needing medicine . . .shivering motorists marooned in heavy, wind-whipped snow drifts. . .five college students on their way to a fancy dress ball. . . They were among the hundreds of Virginians aided in an extra way during the past week by the State’s roadclearing forces. Nobody really kept count, because the job of getting the roads open was itself so great. And as the hours and days passed, the dramatic became the commonplace -- from the Eastern Shore to the rugged Southwest, from the North Carolina border to Virginia's hard-hit northern counties. Even yet, there is no complete total of the number of stranded motorists rescued, or of the isolated families to whom emergency aidwasprovided. There probably never will be. But late in the week, with most highways open and many of them with bare pavements, the stories of mercy missions began coming in. Highway Department crews, and contractors’employes assisting them, dug out more than 935 vehicles, many of them with small children Are Gifts a Problem?

In Montgomery county, a maintenance crewman’s truck bogged down in knee-deep snow as he tried to deliver medicine to an isolated home. So he got out and walked, through fields and woodland. The round trip on foot took him three and one-half hours, but the medicine was delivered. In the Fredericksburg area, 1 members of one family were! rescued from their drift-! caught auto, and spent the night in the Highway Department maintenance building. In Henry county, a two-yearold boy gulped down the pills his grandfather takes for a kidney ailment. A trail was plowed for the lad’s parents to take him to a doctor. ;i In Rockbridge county, the 1 father of three children hiked I hundreds of ya rds to a highway ] office, and said his family had 1 run out of food, the waterji lines in his home were frozen. [, lie was worried, he said, espec-i ially for the baby. ! Crews battled their way through the drifts and rescued the family, which moved temporarily into a Lexington motel. All across Virginia, secondary roads we re plowed ea rlier than would normally have been possible in order that ill persons could be taken to hospitals. Dozens upon dozens of such cases occurred, with people suffering from heart ailments, diabetes, pneumonia. Paths were plowed so that doctors and ambulances could get through. Frequently, still falling snow and drifting quick ly blocked the roads again. In a number of emergency cases, plows accompanied the 'rescue ambulances, rumbling slowly ahead to clear the way. Sometimes, plows opened roads for ambulances to reach ; isolated dwellings, then had to open them again so that the ambulances could get back ;out with their patients. In several counties, highway crews cleared*' the way for jutility workmen to restore electric power to dwellings [darkened during the storm. | Highway spokesmen in the I Bristol area alone reported [285 cars dug from drifts and ditches, and in one case, a [Workman clutched the rear bumper of a small, foreignbuilt car and held it back from the brink of a 25-foot cliff while his co-workers attached a cable and tugged it to safety with a highway !truck. Many maternity cases were aided along--not so much by the stork as by the snowplow. Sometimes, roads were open ed for family cars and am[bulances to transport prosipective mothers to hospitals --and, sometimes, the women rode in highway trucks. In Amherst county, a Highway Department employe was checking along US Route bOfor stranded motorists late one afternoon. He found a marooned auto in which five college students had been travel ing to a fancy dress ball. The highway worker took them to his home, where his wife fed them supper and kept them company until, about 10 p.m., a taxi arrived. Then the ^ students went to the dance. | I But most of the events were! more critical, and sometimes they were marked by tragedy. A Highway Department foreman at Culpeper collapsed and died of a heart attack. Count Mrs. Ellen S. Gaines Mrs. Ellen Strother Caines >f Culpeper died February 4, 966 at her residence. She vas a native of Culpeper, the vidow of Edwin Lewis Gaines ' ind the daughter of the late 1 rohn Roberts Strother and ’ /iola Victoria Payne.

All across the State, highway forces worked long poursIn the Fredericksburg-Northjrn Neck areas, for example, imployes worked a total of 48,840 hours of overtime during the snow storms in the last days of January. They’ll ie paid for the extra work. While efforts were made to rotate highway crews, some men worked continuously for 24 hours or more, and many iidn’t get home for as much is four days. When there was lime, they rested and slept in the cabs of their trucks, md in improvised sleeping quarters in shops and office luildings. Mrs. Turner Hostess For Bridge Party Mrs. L. J.

From The Home Agent*s Fen By Dnk Daugherty (Agent’s Note) Here is one lit a series of releases on consumer education by Don Long of the agricultural economics department at Virginia Tech.) V It costs about "$50 million a year to run the federal Food and Drug Administration. This sounds like a lot of money and $50 million is a lot of money. Yet, in terms of the job they do, is it really huge? nere is a government agency charged with the responsibility to make sure the foods you and I eat and the drugs you and I use are safe. It’s a tremendous responsibility, guarding the food and drugs of almost 200 million people. Yet, there's little doubt that they are quite effective in discharging this responsibility. It's seldom that we have cases where unsafe food or drugs cause illness or damage to prevent. Oh, there are scattered cases, more than we like because we want none. However, when such a case does occur, it’s accompanied by tremendous publicity, proof in itself of how unusual it is. The FDA’s success in safeguarding our health is also pointed up by our confidence in the foods and drugs we buy. We buy our food, we will prescriptions and buy drugs without question. Based on our past experience, we simply assume their safety and value and buy accordingly. This confidence is, in itself, a great thing. There are few places in the world where the same sort of confidence exists. In most places, you • continuously have in the back erf yoqr mind the question, “Is this food or drug really safe to use? Should I be careful?" Then, we go back to how much this costs..$50 million a, year. It sounds like a lot of money and it is. Yet, when you break this down and figure out how much it costs for each of us . . you and me and almost 200 million.others like us . . it looks different. If you figure it in this way. the cost of this protection runs a little over 25 cents a year. To me, this is a real bargain in safety. For only 25 cents, we get assurances that our foods and our drugs are safe to use.' Included In this are tests, research and other guarantees. In addition, we get peace of mind. We buy with confidence. We don’t have to spend time and energy worrying about the relative safeties of different foods and drugs. We can use this time and energy comparing them in other ways. HINTS 1. Toothbrushes can be kept sanitary in a new wall rack which completely encloses arid protects the brush heads from germ-spreading dust. This styrene plastic unit, mounted with self-sticking adhesive or screwed into place, holds dentrifice along with seven brushes. The case itself needs to be sanitized often with hot soap or detergent suds. When laundering a multicolor sweater, the water may become tinted. If so, insert a layer of cardboard or towels between the front and back so one side can’t "contact print" the other during drying.

Tradition has it that such an event has occurred only once previously in the, 93year history of Virginia Tech. A severe cold wave in the late 19th Century had caused a coal shortage on campus and the school authorities had to call off classes for a day. However, the students, instead of staying in their dormitory rooms, were enlisted in mining and hauling coal at one of Tech’s nearby coal mines. Enough coal was hauled to keep the buildings heated and the students returned to classes the next day, so the story goes. Castleton News Sunday guests of Mr. and Mrs. H. G.

Daly, District Manager, of the Winchester Social Security Office, said today many people 9re asking this question. The hospital insurance program under social security, Mrs. Daly said, will help persons age 65 and older to pay their hospital bills, but it does not pay doctor's bills and a number of other medical items and services. The Supplementary Medical Insurance Program is a way whereby these people may provide in advance to help pay doctors’ bills and other medical bills. To quality for Voluntary Supplementary Medical Insurance, the individual must enroll for the medical insurance and agree to pay $3 monthly. The Federal Government matches this amount from general tax revenue. Covered services are deter mined on a calendar year basis. The enrolled person pays the first $50 for covered services in the calendar year and the Supplementary Health Insurance pays 80% of the balance of reasonable charge. A non-governmental Administrative Agent will be selected from among those organizations asking to be considered to handle payment of these non-hospital medical charges land to determine if they are reasonable. Neither the enrolled person nor his doctor will be dealing with the Government. The services included under Supplementary Medical Insurance are: 1. Physicians’and Surgeons’ Services. These may be rendered in the doctor’s office, in a clinic, in a hospital, or at home. 2. Home Health Visits. Up to 100 visits during each calendar year with no requirement of prior hospitalization. 3. Other Medical and Health ! Services regardless of where rendered. These include such things as diagnostic x-rayand laboratory tests, and other disgnostic tests; x-ray, radium, and other therapy; ambulance services under certain conditions; surgical dres& ings, splints, and casts; braces; artificial legs, arms, and eyes, and rental of medical equipment, such as iron lungs. The medical insurance program will not pay for any goods or services received before July 1, 1966, the effective d£te of this coverage. Mrs. Daly urged persons tp file applications for coverage immediately. The deadline for filing is March 31, 1966 and it is advisable to file an application as soon as possible. A representative from this office is at the courthouse in Washington, Va. the second Wednesday of each month at 10 a.m. More About 909E by W. H. Lyne In view of the many questions asked about Southern States 909E, hybrid corn, last year, and so far this year, I feel it is in order to give research results conducted at the various stations where this hybrid was tested. To my knowledge 1965 was the first time Southern States supplied this hybrid to the Blacksburg and Orange stations where growing conditions are more similar to ours than any other Virginia stations. Test results at these stations were as follows: Relative Yield* Orange: R-l 111; R-2 124, % erect 80; ear height 50 inches. Blacksburg: R-l 105; R-2 139; % erect 84; ear height 66 in. Extension School Holds 3rd Class Meet Wednesday Charolais Crosses, Adapted Crop Varieties and Legal Planning are the topics to be covered Wednesday night, Februay 16th at the third session of the Rappahannock Extension School to be held at Rappahannock High School. All topics were selected upon popular requests and the best qualified speakers available will be on hand as discussion leaders. Curtis Mast, Extension Livestock Specialist, VPI, known, respcted and well liked by cattlemen throughout the Old Dominion, will lead the discussion on “Charolais Crosses.” Already local farmers have indicated they will expect him to answer pertinent questions about performance (growth rates, carcass evaluation, feed conversion, etc.) of 1st and 2nd crosses. 'Whether calving problems are to be expected or not? Reports of local breeders, performance testing -results and the recent purchase of a Charolais bull by a local breeder from Dhio, which had a phenominal index of 191 points has fired curiosity among local cattlemen wanting to know more about this breed of French cattle. Bob Harrison, Seed Specialist VPI. will cover “Adapted Varieties, Why Use Them.” Many feel this is a primary weakness in the county’s crop production program. Others say no. this can have only minor effects on yields, TDN costs per acre, etc. Then, too, with so many corn hybrids on the market many farmers ‘want research facts; performance data from different stations having climatic conditions similar to those in Rappahannock. “Corn soils being extremely limited in the county emphasizes the need of our getting the most economical yields possible—can selection of known varieties help bring this about?" Hear George. T. Carlyle Lea. Judge and Attorne.v-at-Law, will advise fanners and others on “Legal Planning” to include: Wills, Contracts, Liability, Commercial Code. Is it wise to revise wills? We hear about dower rights; <to vou men know anything about your eurtesv rights? Wills, Contracts, Liabilities,; all are a very definite part of I management of your business,' Something most everyone needs! to know more about. W. H. Lyne Extension Agent—• Agriculture Card Of Thanks I wish to thank friends, neighbors and relatives for their thoughtful kindness, beautiful flowers, cards and gifts of food at a time when it was greatly appreciated, during the illness and death of my beloved husband Leslie. Mary E. Rollins *R-1 equals 14,000 stalks per acre and R-2 equals 20,000 stalks per acre; also relative yield is percent yield of each rate in relation to over-all yield of the i test. Locally this hybrid was esti- I mated to ear at 66”-78’\ Seem- ! Singly ear height is somewhat-! proportionate to stalk height, j and this height is influenced by ! time and quantity of rainfall. I At Orange 909E was observed ' to be little taller than the other hybrids tested. Local farmers reported its stalk height to be from 14-16 feet. 909E is a full season corn. Since all hybrids were harvested on the same date at a i given location, the earliest hy-' brids in the test are at a disadvantage with regards to quality and stalk breakage and some allowance should therefore be made for earlier maturing hybrids. One copy of Corn Performance Tests—1965 is available at my office. Farmers and seedsmen are welcome to come look it over. Burgen Named Chief Ranger At Park wuuam n. nurgeu Death Valley Chief Promotion of William N. Burgen of Death Valley National Monument (Calif.) to the position of Chief Ranger of Shenandoah National Park was announced by the Superintendent of the latter, R. Taylor Hoskins. Hoskins said that at the present time Burgen is Chief Ranger of the California Monument. He will succeed Joseph Kulesza who recently was named Superintendent of Cumberland Gap National Historical Park at Middlesboro, Kentucky. Burgen will assume his new duties in Shenandoah about February ^20, according toHo» kins. The new Chief Ranger is not unfamiliar with the Blue Ridge Mountain area, having served as both a Park Ranger and Park Naturalist on the Blue Ridge Parkway from 1956 until 1960. He began his Park Service career as a Seasonal Park MahiroHei- or fho T o l-n Mead National Recreation Area (Ariz.-Nev.) early in 1956, and after his service on the Blue Ridge Parkway was transferred to YellowstoneNa tional Park where he was assigned to supervisory ranger activities before being promoted to his Death Valley position. Burgen attended three California co11eges-P1 acer , Shasta, and Humboldt State, receiving his Bachelor of Science degree from the last in 1956. His Park Service career has given him considerable experience in law enforcement and forest fire suppression. Burgen and his wife, Imogene have two daughter^, Signe (8) and Maren (5). They will reside in the housing area near Park Headquarters east of Luray. Boston News Morris Butler of Alexandria spent the week-end with his parents Mr. and Mrs. George Butler.

Virginia, A Leader In Forest Tree Planting and Tree Improvement Virginia ranked third in the nation in number of acres plant ed to forest tree seedlings on a privately-owned land during 1965. State Forester G. W. Dean, in making this announce ment, said that Virginia was also third in forest tree seedling production. The two Division of Forestry nurseries produced and shipped over 42,000,000 trees last year. Virginia ran among the lead ers, 7th in the nation, in number of acres direct seeded. Dean explained that direct seeding means sowing tree seed that has been treated with rodent and bird repellents. This is a relatively new technique made possible with the development of repellent chem icals that can withstand the weather until the seeds germinate. Untreated seed is part of the diet of many wild creatures. To sow enough untreated seed to satisfy the mice and birds and expect to have enough left over to grow a stand of trees would be impractical from the cost stand point alone. ine state Forester added that Virginia is first in the nation in total acres devoted to tree improvement programs. The Virginia Division of Forestry and the forest industry have in operation over 200 acres of seed orchard and 1,125 acres of seed production areas. Seed orchards are areas where genetically superior trees are grown to pro duce seed for sowing in the nurseries. The Division of Forestry was one of the pioneers in seed orchard work. The program was launched in 1953 when the search began for the finest trees that could be found in the state. Most of the effort has been directed toward loblolly, shortleaf and white pine species. Some work is now being done with yellow poplar. For a tree to be considered for the seed orchard program it must comply with a very severe set of standards. So severe, in fact, that only 42 loblolly pines in the state have qualified for the Division ! of Forestry orchard. When a tree is found that meets the standards,branches are shot down with a rifle. The branches are then grafted into root stock growing in the orchard. The “new" tree takes in all the characteristics of the superior parent tree. The pro cess is quite similar to apple or peach orchard work said Dean. It will be several years {before any appreciable quantity of seed can be obt a i n e d jfrom the orchards. But]" {eventually all of the seedlings produced in Division nurseries will be the off-spring of the best trees that nature {provides. j Seed production areas are groups of forest grown trees that have desirable characteristics. The area is tended so that only the finest trees are permitted to produce seed. The seed is collected in the fall of the year and processed for sowing in the nurseries the following spring. Seed pro duction area trees are not as perfect as the “superior" trees selected for the seed orchards but they are far better than the “run of the mill" trees found in the forest. Dean said that Virginia's forest products industry, em - ploying over 50,000 persons and one of the state’s largest industries, is dependent upon the forest resource.
