Carrigan right, talk with guest speaker Walter M. Macomber. Historical Society Observes First Anniversary Washington’s Birthday The Rappahannock Historical Society celebrated it’s first birthday anniversary with a meeting at the Court House on Tuesday which was also George Washington’s birthday. The meeting had been scheduled for February 8 which is the date for the founding of the County but due to weather conditions it had to be postponed. Speaker for the occasion was Mr. Walter M. Macomber (May-cumber Maine pronunciation) noted architect and re storer who is considered one of the outstanding authorities on colonial architecture. He well justified his reputation in his interesting lecture that was illustrated with slides. He touched on experiences in restoring houses throughout the country in Williamsburg, Kentucky and New England. It seemed most fitting that most of his slides dealt with w^rk at Mount Vernon and his -i.. . ..- ■■ careful study of George Washington’s voluminous papers to maintain the mansion as it was during the first president’s lifetime. During a question and answer period Mr. Macomber pointed out to the Historical Society for research purposes that moldings and trims were the best clue as to the age of a building. He further stated that people were inclined to place the age.of a building much earlier than it really was and that in his opinion a building that was well built in it’s period was more interesting than one that had additions of an earlier architectural period to make it appear older. Detective work seemed of prime importance to Mr. Macomber's work and the taste of the original building as to wallpaper and paint combinations were to be used rather than the restorer’s choice. He further qualified his desire for original and authentic detail by saying that shrine and museum restoration fell in a different category from the remodeling of a build ing for functional living purposes. Mr. Carrigan had copies of the Hotchkiss map that are available for $1.50. He also displayed the framed Hotchkiss map that had been given to the Society by George H. Davis, Jr. The copies are blue on white whereas the old map of Rappahannock is black on white that has mellowed to a parchment shade. Mrs. Frances Foster, assistant treasurer of the Society reported that the first years membership numbered 174 and that dues for the new year were now payable. Arthur Miller as chairman of the nominating committee presented the present slate of officer’s for a second year term and it was unanimously accepted. MIm Millie Dodson, a sailor si Rappahannock County High School, was named school queen and was crowned by last year’s queen, Miss Linda Beahm, at a party and dance held Monday evening at the school. Young and In, Love was the theme of the party which climaxed the contest for queen sponsored by the Student Cooperative Association. Estimated proceeds of $550 will be added to the school Scholarship Loan Fund I Mrs. Bowie Endorsed For Culpeper Council A Culpeper businesswoman.

Tech’s Animal Science Department will talk, as no one else £an do in his personable way, yon “Supplementary Enterprises*! Big words - humpt\ With commercial beef cow herds being our major livestock industry what other livestock can we produce that will fit well with a cow - feeder calf production program. What about hogs; market hogs or feeder pigs? Or maybe it should be producing feeder yearling steers or finishing steers to “Good" slaughter grade. Spring lambs may be even a better deal on some farms? Bob Pristou - plant Pathologist will give a slide illustrated talk on Corn Diseases. Of primary concern at present is this new disease commonly referred to as Corn Stunt Disease. It broke out in Culpeper County last year. Plays the devil with yields - are there any control measures? How can it be recognized? What can be done about it? Any of you guys remember seeing that field of corn at Dennis Jenkins' place several years ago that was ruined by Southern Leaf Blight? No.ears produced at all. About roasting ear time the whole field had a gray-green frosted appearance. Money, time, use of land, and winter feed supply went "down the drain*. How corned Pristou is, you might say, a crop veterinarian who will tell you about corn diseases and what you can do to prevent and control them. Ed Harris - A local Realtor, will discuss "What is Involved in Real Estate Transactions*. A lot’of property in Rappahannock is changing hands. Other property is on the market.

NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia TELEPHONE: WASHINGTON 5-3349 MRS. SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Entered as 2nd Class Mail at the Post Office st Washington, Vs. tig,/. Subscription Rate (In Advance): $2.50 per year in Rappabannock and adjacent counties; $3.00 elsewhere. ... — - ■ ■ ———— .— ■.— —*• Letter To Editor Dear Editor, I have just read a letter from the Supervisor of Hampton District addressed, I presume, to all voters within the district. This letter was written to determine the wishes of the people, in the form of a straw vote, regarding proposed school construction. This Objective, I am sure, is a very democratic gesture, however, I feel that the letter itself is quite misleading. I can assure the writer as well as the people that there is more involved in the alternatives of school construction proposed than, as stated in the letter, size of school versus tax increase. What of upkeep on three schools versus one? What of cost of maintaining and providing adequate teaching facilities in three schools instead of one? What of three princlpalsbips instead of one? What of dissatisfaction among people that will arise when assignments of pupils to a particular school are made? It is a well recognized fact that neither Washington or Sperryville elementary school is adequate for the optimum physical plant necessities. Where is the democracy in subjecting some to second and third rate facilities while others have better? I could go on and on pointing out thingfcthat should be considered wkfore making this decision and in view at this I feel that the while picture of the situation should be understood by the people before coming to a decision. The voters of Hampton District must not be led to believe that the question is as simple as size versus tax inbut rather one of many, facets. At this time, all things considered, the construction of the larger completely console dated school will provide the people the best, educationally as well as economically. Perturbed Beef Cattle Mgr.

Library Lines Mr. Walter Macomber, architect restorer of Williamsburg Mount Vernon, Stratford Hall and many other noted places, gave the county reason to delve into the great heritage of old homes in Virginia when he spoke at the Historical Society’s Washington’s Birthday program Tuesday. He has spent a lifetime on the study of early Virginia homes and his intimate knowledge of old houses reveals how much there is to learn. A quick examination of the shelves of the Rappahannock Library discloses the presence of many new and not so new books on this subject which should prove interesting to all ages. Among them are: “Houses Virginians Have Loved" by Agnes Rothery, a woman who has published many books on many subjects. A noted writer, she loves her Virginia, and tends to make her readers do likewise. “Old Virginia Houses Along the James* by Emmie Fergus son Farrar was published in 1957 by Hastings House and is loaded with good photographs and fascinating descriptions. It is a very readable work. National Geographic Society has a beautiful book on “AmerF ca’s Historylands" with magnk ficant color plates of many of Virginia’s finest homes. Richard L. Morton’s two volume work on “Colonial Virginia* is a must for serious, research. “Furniture Antiques Found in Virginia" by Ernest Carlyle Lynch, Jr. is helpful in identifying old furniture. Several other valuable works are on the shelves ready to go out to any reader calling at the library. Library hours are 3 to 5 p. m. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays; Saturday 10 a.m. until 12 noon. New 4-H Award A two-week trip to Chile may be in prospect for some senior 4-H boy in Virginia this year. It has just been announced that the Chilean Nitrate Educational Bureau will sponsor a special 4-H achievement program. It’s open to senior 4-H boys from 14 to 19. A state award of $200 will be made, either as a scholarship award, or as a trip to the National 4-H Club Congress if quotas allow. Virginia’s entrant will have one chance in three of winning as he will be competing only with boys from North Carolina and South Carolina, says J. A. Reynolds, associate state 4-H agent at Virginia Tech. Objectives of the program, says Reynolds, are to provide recognition for superior 4-H achievement and an opportu nity for further leadership and character development. Interested senior 4-H boys should get additional details from their Extension agents. The Cost of Free Lunches How much do we really know about economics? John T. O’Connor, the Secretary of Commerce, recently offered the view that the sum of our knowledge can be stated in just nine little words: •There is no such thing as a free lunch." It would seem that a great many people should be learning the truth of that now. We have been given more and more alleged free lunches, in the form of all manner of welfare schemes and programs. But the bills are beginning to be presented to us, in various forms. For one thing, the Social Security tax on a worker earning $6,600 53 different types of mousetraps have been invented—but the cat is still the most efficient. Whenever people attempt to walk in darlmess, across unmarked areas, they usually deviate to the left—so, that in time, they will cross their previous path. CHRYSLER - PLYMOUTH INTERNATIONAL RUSSELL BROS., INC. U. S. HIGHWAY 522 FLINT HILL, VA. PHONE 675-3646 a year or more has just been raised by over $100 a year, and the employer must contribute a similar sum. For another, the President has asked Congress to repeal certain reductions in federal excise taxes, on universally used commodities and services, that went into effect very recently. For still another, there is a growing feeling that the Administration may be forced to request increases in income and corporation taxes. And for still another, price inflation, which in large part is the result of the government’s [deficit spending, continues to eat away the dollar’s valued "Free Lunches” turn out to be mighty expensive.

Birthday Celebrations Vary Over World Washington — Birthdays - never more popular than today - are the most universal of all celebrations. Observances around the world range from riotous chit dren's parties in the United States to ceremonial Chinese gatherings, the National Geographic Society says. Primitive man celebrated no birthdays because he had no calendar. Some tribes considered counting wicked and kept no record of time. The Egyptians, who devised one of the first calendars, threw mon umental birthday parties. The biographer Plutarch related that Cleopatra honored Anthony “with the utmost prodigality of splendor and magnificence, so that many of the guests sat down in want and went home wealthy men." No Children’s Parties The ancient Greeks celebrated the birthdays of men and gods; women and children did not rate parties. Long before Washington and Lincoln, the Greeks observed birthdays of important men after their death. Greek gods had monthly birth days. Artemis, goddess of the moon and hunt, was honored on the sixth of every month. Moon shaped honey cakes lit with tapers were placed on altars in her temples -- the first birthday candles. Roman emperors celebrated theif birthdays with parades, circuses, and gladiatorial com bats. The Emperor Caligula ex pected everyone to turn out to honor him. The imperial wrath descended upon anyone who ignored the command performance. In the Dark Ages, the church frowned on birthday celebrations as pagan survivals. Despite disapproval, noblemen often held great revels on their birthdays. By the 12th century, parish churches were keeping birth records. Birthday customs and folklore developed. Birthday greetings were more than a friendly gesture in the Middle Ages. Good wishes on that day brought good fortune because the celebrant was then closer to the spirit wo^ld. Conversely, evil wishes meant bad luck. Belated greetings were most unwelcome. Even if friendly, they brought misfortune. Cake and Candles The modern children's party grew out of the German Kinder feste. Centerpiece of the festive table was the Geburtstagtorte, a rich layer cake ringed with candles. In some families the candles were lighted when the child awakened. They were kept burning, with replacements, until the party. This guaranteed a happy year for the child. Blowing out the candles with one breath has several meanings. It recalls the tests of skill and strength once common on birthdays. It serves as a symbolic wiping out of the past and starting anew. Most importantly, it insures that a secret wish will come true In the Far East, the Chinese traditionally have attached great importance to birthdays especially such milestones as the first month, the first year, the tenth year, and the 50th year. On his 60th birthday, a Chinese man officially joins the older ga^upration.

Pen 1 .» — How To Avoid Accidents Safety in the kitchen is no accident; it requires careful pfenning. Good work habits are basic, say home management specialists'of the Agricultural Mr. and Mrs. Melvin O. Brummel of Las Cruces, New Mexico announce the engagement of their daughter, Kathryn Ann, to Thomas C. Carpenter, son of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Carpenter of Alexandria. Va., formerly of Rappahannock. Miss Brummel attended Texas Woman’s University. Mr. Carpenter was graduated from Rappahannock County High School. Both are employed with the U. S. Printing Office. An April wedding is planned. Extension Service. Here are their tips on how to stay safe in the kitchen. To avoid falls, a prime accident hazard, wipe up all fat spatters and spills as soon as they occur. Avoid ex^tess wax. Buff the floor well following waxing. Use a steady stool for read* ing high objects. Never trust a rickety one. If tightening all screws and bolts does not make the stool firm and steady it’s time to replace it. Many burns, another cause of serfous accidents, can be prevented. Store lifting tongs close to the cooking center. Pot-lifters for handling hot utensils should be kept dose to the oven. Mitts serve well for this; just be sure they are well padded. Keep utensil, handles and tea-kettle spouts turned toward the back of the stove and out Qf all traffic lanes where they might get upset. Tighten all utensil handles regularly. A loose handle or one that turns is a frequent cause of burns. Cuts can be avoided by safe storage and careful use of knives and can openers. Guard against fatigue. Too much haste makes people more accident prone. Store sharp knives separately, and preferably in a holder. Use a cutting board whenever possible. Establish the good habit of cutting away from yourself. Check all electric cords, plugs and switches regularly, and repair or replace as needed.

Empty first, then throw out everything you haven't used in a couple of months. Before you rearrange dresser and kitchen drawers give them a thorough cleaning and add lining paper, then put back s o r t e d-out contents. Whatever’s used most often should be nearest at hand, with special-occasion items further back. Homemakers today use more and more laborsaving devices than every before . . .yetstill get tired as ever. Dr. Lillian Gilbreth, a longtime researcher in causes of fatigue, tells why: "Less fatigue is caused today by physical labor in housework. But the complexities of presentday life cause more emotional or psychological fatigue.” What can you do about it? Dr. Gilbreth advises; Don’t put things off, and then worry about them. Don’t plan more than you can accomplish. Don’t mull over disappointments. WEEKEND SPECIALS at PAUL’S in FRONT‘kOYAL RECLINER & FREE 23-in. Console PAUL’S Maytag Front Royal, Va.

Mrs. Charlie Cloud and family Veterans News The Veterans Administration has advised that regular annual dividends on U. S. Government Life Insurance and National Service Life Insurance policies for the year 1966 will not be paid in advance, as has been the case for the past four years. Instead, dividends will be paid in the policy anniversary date as was the custom until 1961 when the President authorized payments on an accelerated iasis as an anti-recession measure. The VA advises that in 1966 about $209 million will be paid to some 4.5 million holders of National Service Life Insurance participating policies, averaging about $47. About $15.2 million will be paid to approximately 200,000 IN MEMORIAM In memory of my loving aunt, Hassie C op page Burke, who departed this life 16 years ago, February 25, 1950.

Swine Management Tips Are Given Good management of swine during the farrowing season is a must for large litters of healthy, fast-growing pigs at weaning time. The first few days are most critical in a baby pig’s life and sound You Harvest The Most, When You Plant The Best Get Southern States Quality Seeds Now Seeds : am Really t Gniw msssasssmm Southern States Front Royal Cooperative Phone ME 5-5118 FRONT ROYAL Your Southern States Cooperative Agency management here can pay off on market day. Sows should be brought in a few days before farrowing and washed thoroughly , with soap and water. This removes caked dirt which probably contains internal parasite eggs. If the dirt is not removed, the baby pig will get a heavy infestation of worm eggs the first time he nurses. Chemical worm remedies are not as good as management which prevents worm infestation at the pig's first nursing. Immediately after washing the sow, move her into clean and adequate farfowing quarters. With proper farrowing quarters, the battle for healthy, heavy pigs at weaning time is more than half won. Farrowing quarters should be clean, warm, dry, free of drafts, and should prevent the sow from laying on pigs and killing them. A concrete floored building is almost a must for continued success in maintaining clean farrowing quarters. As used here, “clean'’ means not only free from dirt, but also free of bacteria and worm eggs. The floor, stalls, feeders, and waterers should be scrubbed free of dirt and manure and then scrubbed with warm, soapy lye water with a final rinse with a good disinfectant The manager should be present at farrowing to help the sow and to dry and clean pigs and clip needle teeth. Pigs should be put under or near a heat lamp, since their heat regulating mechanisms are not well developed until several days after birth. A temperature of 80- 85 degrees Fahrenheit is best for baby pigs. Most days and nights during the farrowing season of the next three months will fall far short of this temperature. So, a heat lamp is needed to bring temperatures up to the best level, However, it should be at least 18 inches above the pigs to avoid burning them. If farrowing quarters are properly ventilated, they should stay dry enough if care is taken when watering sows. Automatic waterers are desirable and can be bought for $10 or less. Sows -should be put in a restricted area at farrowing. A farrowing crate or improvised enclosure that is 2 feet wide and 8 feet long will prevent the sow from laying on her pigs or suffocating them. If a crate is not provided, the farrowing stall should at least have guard rails. Most of these things can be done with little cost and will result in more and "healthier pigs per litter. Pigs should be given an iron shot during the first few days and the sow fed 15 percent protein corn-soybean oil meal ration fortified with vitamins and minerals. An Illinois study shows the increased returns per litter from weaning large litters. By increasing pigs weaned per litter from 6 to 8, net returns increased from $32 Dr. J. P.

An extensive program c«vH»e manv enbWt«i has been arranged and will begin at 10 a.m. - Soc. Security Notes Nearly 2 million persons are being sought in a huge missing persons hunt being conducted by the Social Security Adminisstration. Mrs. Hazel F. Daly, Social Security District Manager, in Winchester, said these people may be eligible for hospital and medical insurance benefits provided by the Social Security Amendments of 1965, These people 65 or over are now eligible under the new broad program of health in surance known popularly as Medicare. But, they are unknown to the Social Security Administration because they have not taken steps to sign up under the program. The missing persons are divided into two groups, Mrs. Daly said. Over 900,000 or those over 65 who have never filed claims for benefits, usually because they are still working. Another 800,000over 65 do not have enough credit for work under social security to get benefits. These missing persons or members of their families are urged to get in touch with their social security offices without delay to establish bene fit rights so they can receive health insurance and other benefits when the program goes into effect July 1, 1966. Persons age 65 and over who are still working should take the necessary time to protect social security interests, according to Mrs. Hazel F. Daly, Social Security District Manager at Winchester, Virginia. “This advice", Mrs. Daly to $58 per litter—almost doubling net returns. More information on swine management is available from the office of your county Ex tension agent--call on him! said, “1b directed to those who are eligible for . social security but have not applied. They can no longer assume that no benefits are due them as long as they working.” The new “Medicare”, Mrs. Daly continued, can be collected by those who work no matter how much income they have; an application, however, must be filed. To get the full protection offered at the earliest date, those who are now 65 or over, or who will be before 1968, must apply no later than March 31, 1966. An oldster who is still working is just as likely, perhaps more so, to need the Hospital and Medical Insurance protection as one who is retired. Those who have already applied are protected and are being contacted by mail. “The name and addresses of those who have not applied are not known to us”, Mrs. Daly said. “Unless they act to protect their own interests, by applying without delay, they stand to lose part, or all, of the medical insurance protection available to them.” A single application, by a person insured under social security and now 65 or over, will establish his eligibility for: (1) Monthly benefits, when he retires, (2) Hospital Insurance at no cost and (3) Medi cal Insurance, if he chooses, for a $3 monthly premium starting for next July.
