U* S. Navy Band To Lead Parade Offically the United States Navy Band appearing in Flint Hill next Thursday came into existance on March 4, 1925, the day Calvin Coolidge was inagurated President of the United States. He siged a special act of the 68th. Congress recognizing this band as the permanent representative of the United States Navy. Since 1925 the annual tours authorized by acts of Congress and approved by the President have made it possible for vast audiences outside of the Nations Capital to enjoy the varied programs provided by this band. Under Presidents Coolidge, Hoover, Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy and Johnson, the band has played before appreciative audiences throughout the entire continental United States as well as in South America, Canada, Germany, Puerto Rico, Panama, Haiti, and the Virgin Islands. In 1937 this band had the esteemed pleasure of being the featured musical attraction at the famed Canadian National Exhibition. In 1964, with 3 million in attendance, the band made its 6th appearance at the Exhibition - more than any other foreign band. The United States Navy Band under the able direction of Lt. Commander Anthony Mitchell, consists of 134 enlisted musicians and 3 officers. From this group come the smaller bands for funerals, guard mounts, etc. The duties of this organization encompass just about every phase of music from the arrival and departure of visiting foreign dignataries to state dinners and functions. Aside from the wonderful music the band produces, another reason for its wide spread popularity is the fact that it is always in the public eye and ear. This band has brought joy to countless millions through its appearances on radio and television - thus bringing its delightful music to the greatest possible listening audiences at home and abroad. Too much credit cannot be given this splendid body of musicians who so worthily uphold in music the ideals, courage and love of country daily expressed in the lives of our seamen* The Navy and the country at large may be proud of having in their own land a musical organization that ranks among the world's finest Tips on Cattle During Drought 1. All calves should be creep fed; this will improve the calf and take suckling pressure off the cow. 2. Cull cow herd hard. 3. Sell heifer calves and move mothers to poorest pasture letting other cows with! steer calves have bestgraz-j ing. 4. Wean steer calves and full feed grain in dry lot til1 market time, or send steer calves to market. 5. Dry cows can be carried through on extremely short rations. 6. It will be wiser to feed a small amount of grain on pasture and save hay for winter,' With half a feed of hay or silage this winter, four pounds of grain will get them through. Why not use grain now while they are getting roughage f rom pasture rather than using hay. 7. Remember breeding herds are hard to build, so pull every idea out you can think of to keep foundation herds alive. A good creep ration for calves: 250 lbs. whole oats, 750 lbs. shelled or coarsely cracked corn, and 100 lbs. pelleted protein supplement. W. H.

United States Navy Band Drought Conditions Critical Here Parched pastures and curling corn give bleak testimony of the countless days which turn into endless weeks with soaring temperatures and little or no rain in Rappahannock County and other areas. The drought situation here has become critical. Only .70 of an inch of rainfall has been measured during July at the official station in Amissville, says Miss Lucille Riley, who checks the precipitation in that area. In the Washington, Va. weather station, Miss Ruby Jenkins reports .56 of an inch total for July. The June total at Washington was 1.39. Temperatures have soared from the 90’s into the low 100’s for weeks and much of the time were accompanied by extreme humidity. Streams are almost dry so the cattle suffer from the shortage of water as well as pasture. Some farmers have culled their herds extensively, selling off the lesser cattle and keeping only top grade animals in the hope of better conditions ahead. Also hay prices are advancing. The stunted stalks of corn wave a wan greeting with their curling blades from the contours or corn fields. According to County Agent, W. H. Lyne, the corn crop is already damaged fiftypercentandeven soaking rains in the next few days cannot remedy this damage. Though the critical period! for spraying fruit trees is i past, the water shortage pre-’ vents the continuation of suchj and orchardists find young trees dying and fruit is not attaining any size. Added to the dry weather, in the Castleton and Amissville areas,"everything is being plagued by innumerable grasshoppers, which are stripping vegetation. Castleton was pestered with grasshoppers last season and they have migrated to the Amissville area. . Farm Constitution Policy Clarified The question of what constitutes a farm is one that comes up constantly in the operations of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS). This is especially applicable in the case of dividing a farm or adding tracts of land resulting from sales, settlement of estates, or the appropriation of land for public use. For purposes of ASCS programs, there are a number of provisions which must be given consideration. These concern ownership, operation, accessibility, and nearness, as well as the productivity of different tracts. The ASC county committee requires specific proof from a farmer where there is any doubt as to ownership. Land owned separately by different members of an immediate fanrv ily living in the same household and operated as a single farming unit is considered to be under same ownership for ASCS program purposes. In considering whether two or more tracts of land shall be regarded as a single farm, the county committee must determine whether they are close enough together to be Flint Hill Firemen’s Carnival Next Week The Flint Hill Volunteer Fire Department is putting the final touches to their annual Carnival and Parade which will be held August 3-6. Again this year McSpadden rides from Florida will furnish at least 10 rides on the brilliantly illuminated midway Wed., Aug. 3. There will be a giant display of fireworks for all to see and enjoy. The attractions for the next three nights are also ones that you won't want to miss. On Thursday, August 4, at 7;00 p.m. there will be a Grand Parade consisting of 150 units. The Parade will be led by the United States Navy Band and Grand Marshal Miss Deborah Lough, “Miss State Fair." Through the courtesy of the Pepsi Cola company, the newly crowned “Miss Virginia" Miss Linda Jo Maclin, will appear as a special guest. The parade will also include many top marching bands, floats, beauty queens, majorettes, clowns, antique cars, distinguished guests and the newest and oldest in fire fight ing and rescue equipment. Plate suppers will be servec during and after the Parade by the Ladies Auxiliary. On Friday night there will be a drawing for a 600 lb. pure bred registered black angus heifer and a complete set of china. The Carnival will be brought to a climax Saturday night by the awarding of the grand prize a 1966 Plymouth and other cash prizes. Each night on display in the fire hall will be the newly built Virginia Department of Highway's State Fair exhibit which is a free attraction. There will be plenty of food, games and amusements for all ages. Holiday Tax Deadlines Extended* Next Work Day In answer to many Virginia Federal taxpayers’ questions, James P. Boyle, District Director of Internal Revenue announced that when the last day prescribed for the filing of returns, payment of taxes or other acts falls on Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday, the performance of such acts will be considered timely if discharged on the next work day. Good examples of this automatic extension are Employer’s Quarterly Federal Tax Return, Employer’s Quarterly Tax Returnfor Household Employees and Qua rterly Federal Excise Tax Return due Sunday, July 31. easily accessible. This means that farm labor and machinery could be freely interchanged during farming operations and that the cropping pattern is normal for a single farming unit. Separate tracts under different ownership may not be combined as a single farm if there is a substantial difference in the productivity between the tracts. Finally, in determining the ronstitution of a farm, the county committee must satisfy itself that the operator of a farm is in general control of farming operations on the farm in the program year. For details in the constitution of any farm or farms, farmers are invited to call at the county ASCS office in Wash ington, Va. Grand Marshal “Miss State Fair”, Deborah Ann Lough of Elkton, will be Grand Marshall of Flint Hill Fireman’s annual parade which will be held Thursday, August 4 at 7 p.m. Miss Lough, a greeneyed beauty, received her crown and title last September at the Virginia State Fair in Richmond. She has owned the titles of many contests in her section of the state and aside from being the beauty queen that she is she is also a very talented singer and entertainer. Water Situation In Washington Due to a continued water shortage throughout this year we have been relying on water from the well rather than from the springs. This means that the pump has been in continuous operation. In former years it has had to have major repairs after such sustained usage. We have been considering an auxiliary but have run into problems of cost. There are no indications that our supply of water is low but our pump has become overtaxed. Therefore if the water subscribers would voluntarily limit their use we would have a better chance of a continued supply of water during this drought. Dorothy C. Davis, Mayor Virginia G. Miller, Treas. Town of Washington Hunt Law Folder Now Available Hunting and fishing license agencies and sporting goods dealers throughout most of Virginia have been supplied with the new 24 page “Summary of Virginia Game Laws" the Game Commission’s Information Office reports. The free publication gives all necessary information on Vir ginia big and small game seasons, license requirements, weapons restrictions and lega hunting procedures. General maps are included to clarify some of the more complicated seasons and bag limits. Special regulations and restrictions on National Forests Commission lands and State Forests open to public hunting are given in detail in the hunting law folder. If unavailable from local source, copies of this pamphlet may be obtained by mail from the Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries office, Box 1642, Richmond, Virginia 23213. , Business Tempo Up In Rappahannock Special to Rappahannock News New York, July 25 - Rappahannock County’s economy is running in high gear, according to a nationwide survey of business activity, recently completed. Local residents, with more money available to them than in former years, have been spending a record amount for goods and services. The findings are contained in a new, copyrighted study by Sales Management, entitlec "Survey of Buying Power". It presents data on income and spending for communities in all parts of the country. The net earnings of Rappahannock County residents were at a high level, it shows. Their spendable income, after deduction for personal taxes, amounted to more than $6,517,000. What this was equivalent to on a family basis, was found by dividing the income by the number of households in the area. The average per household came to $4,655, a rise over the prior year’s $4,420. How did local residents make use of the extra cash they had at their disposal? The report shows that they spent it with less restraint than in other years. They went in for more luxurious living, buying better grades of food, clothing and household equipment, spending more for leisure-time activities and putting more into investments. Rappahannock County’s retail merchants, as a consequence, had a big year. They ended up with a sales volume of $2,184,000. The survey shows, for each community, the amount of retail business actually done by local stores in comparison with the amount that could have been done if consumers had. spent up to theft- full 6apacity. It does thi6 through a “buying power index”, which measures market strength on the basis of income, population and sales activity. Rappahannock County's index rating is .0015, which means that it is believed capable of producing that percentage of the nation's retail business. Since less than that was accounted for last year, .0008 percent, the conclusion is that some of the local purchasing potential has not yet been attained. i Brandy Station Firemen’s i Carnival This Week The Brandy Station firemen will stage their annual carnival Wednesday through Saturday, July 27-31. A big parade is the feature Friday and the grand prize, a car, -will be awarded Saturday night. The public is invited to attend.

National Farm Safety Week Day-to-day living seems to be a hazardous task these days. At least this would be a logical deduction from the accident death figures released by the National Safety Council indicating 107,000 persons lost their lives due to accidents during 1965. And during the same period, another 10,500,000 persons were victims of disabling injuries. Accidents kill more than 8,000 farm residents each year, and an additional 700,000 or more are victims of disabling injuries. \ This is an alarming situation, not only because of the grief to loved ones, the expense and the unnecessary suffering, but also because of the monetary loss to the nation. It is for these reasons that President Lyndon B. Johnson has proclaimed July 24-30 as National Farm Safety Week. The 1 proclamation draws attention to farm safety for a period of one week but is intended to emphasize the importance of safety throughout the year. 1 The word “safety” has become a part of everyone’s vocabulary, but it is now imperative that we do more than use it in conversation. We must put it into everyday practice before results can be expected. Farm Safety Week comes at a time of the year when farm people are actively involved in all phases of farm work, an ideal time to check the safety of the farm environment. Practicing safety during National Farm Safety Week can create life saving habits throughout the year.

Business Good ' First Six Months Bonal clothing and appliances, specifically air conditioners, moved upward due to the higher than normal temperatures during the period. The Virginia Business Index 'or the month of July, 1966, io be distributed shortly, will :ontaln the following information. The Flint Six Months of 1966 The first six months of this fear was a good period for justness in Virginia except foi lew car sales and the availability of mortgage money for private housing. The cumulative January through June figures for 1966, In comparison to the same period In 1965, show bank debits up 15.7 per :ent, electricity consumed up 11.5 per cent, newspaper advertising lineage up 6.4 per :ent and retail sales up 4.1 per cent. Additionally, nonigricultural employment in Virginia appears to have established a new high during the period. Based on incomplete data, at this time, nonarm employment is up 4.2 per cent. If the final figures sustain this extrapolation, non igricultural employment will lave reached a record high in the period. New car registrations are down approximate y two per cent in the January through June, 1966 to 1965 :omparlson. But, this figure ttonceals more than it reveals. A strong surge in new cars registered in June, due to a very early implementation of promotional campaigsn to sell pff existing inventories of the soon to be superseded models paused the six months average to obscure the trend. In only one other month, March, was there a year to year gain in Virginia. The final and most revealing figure in a comparison of 1966 to 1965 for new car registrations must wait for the August figures. During the period, the availability of mortgage money for private hopsing continued to decline. This situation began Its overt development in the last half of 1965 and became apparent locally in the Spring i and early Summer of 1966. j At this time there is no workable solution to this problem in sight, according to Pro'essor Gilbert C. Jones, Director of the Bureau of Business Research, College of Wil liam and Mary. Summary for June Business in June in comparison to the same month in 1965 was highlighted by a good gain for retail sales anc an impressive plus in new car registrations. The gain in the new car registrations over June of 1965 must be subject to two very important considerations. Due to a work backlog at the Department of Motor Vehicles in May some of that month’s sales were picked up in the June figures Additionally, this year the year-end sales of the 1966 models are about one to two months prior to the norma time for such marketing activity. Retail sales in Virginia for June, especially for sea The Outlook Business will remain good for the balance of 1966 with bank debits, retail sales, and non-agricultural employment establishing records for the year. The war In Vietnam will continue to be the most Important single factor affecting the State's economy. Factory production will maintain its high level in the State and probably broaden its base. The ebb and flow of military personnel will exert a greater Influence on the economy of the areas of northern Virginia, Norfolk, Hampton, New port News, Williamsburg, Petersburg, and Hopewell. And the financial demands of the War present a clear possibility of higher taxes. Counties Receive Funds From Timber Sales Some 12 Virginia counties have received a total of $4,958.89 in lieu of taxes from timber sales on Wildlife Management Areas owned by the Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries, according to Executive Director Chester F Phelps. The procedure whereby counties would receive 25% Df the net proceeds from timber 6ales on Wildlife Management Areas located within the county was established by the 1965 General Assembly. This is the second year that payments have been made under this program. “Timber sales have become the main game management tool on Commission-owned lands since maximum game habitat improvement can be accomplished this way at minimum cost to sportsmen* Phelps said. The Commission's share of timber sale proceeds goes toward maintenance, management supervision and law enforcement on these lands. Most of the Game Commission’s timber sales are thinning operations whereby dense stands of young hardwoods are opened up to allow sunlight to penetrate and to promote better growth of the remaining trees. Selective cutting allows mast and fruit species attractive to game to remain while less important trees are removed. Sprout growth from the stumps of harvested trees pro vides a bonus of deer browse for several years.

My West Coast Trip By Billy Payne ^ After spending the night in Niles, Mich, we traveled onto Gary, Ind. and then to Chicago. Here we toured Union Stock Yards on a tractor-drawn wagon. The buyers used the same wagon to go from pen to pen. As we were leaving Chicago, we passed Comisky Park and,O’Hare Airport. Continuing into Wisconsin, we stopped at a cheese house then on to the State Capitol building in Madison where we drove a round the building three timeslookingforaparking place, but failed to find one because there was an art exhibit on the Capitol grounds. We stopped for the night at LaCrosse, Wis. There was no pool at the motel, so we went swimming in the Mississippi River. The next day found us in Rochester, Minn, where we visited the Mayo Clinic Medical Museum. Later we visited the Libby McNeill canning plant. That day theywereprocessing peas. The peas wert picked and shelled by machinery in the field and sent to the cannery in dump trucks. We watched the entire process from the dump truck to cans of peas packed in cases. We crossed the state line into South Dakota and stayed at Sioux Falls that night. The following day we drove across South Dakota through the Badlands and on to Rapid City where we spent the night. We stopped early that day and got our motel then went to Terry Peak and rode the chair lift which was almost a mile long. When we reached the top we could look over into four state^ North Dakota, South Dakota; Montana and Wyoming. The next morning we headed for Mt. Rushmore, but stopped enroute at Marine Life where we saw otters, seals and porpoises. Later we visited the Reptile Gardens where we walked into a jungle of reptiles. We saw snakes, birds, horned toads, and a bat named Julius which had awingspread of three feet. Leaving the jungle we saw alligators and monkeys. We took pictures atMt. Rush more of the gigantic busts of presidents Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and Roosevelt which are sculptured on the Black Hills. We next drove through Custer Park where we saw mules and buffalo. The mules were so friendly they stuck their treads through the car windows looking for something to eat. Leaving Custer Park, we entered Wyoming and stayed in Buffalo Bill’s home town, Cody. Here we went to a rodeo. The next day we went to Yellowstone National Park and were just in time to see Old Faithful geyser erupt. In the park we saw one deer and eleven bears. Leaving Yellowstone, we went through six miles of Montana and on to Idaho, the big potato state. Here we sperlt the night at Twin Falls. On July 23 we continued through Idaho to Bend, Oregon for the night. Through these states the drive was long and hot and sometimes for miles on either side all we could see was sagebrush.

Drought conditions have become critical in Rappahannock other areas of Virginia. The corn crop here has been cut in half Agent W. H. Lyne and soaking rains now could not remedy this. as in many says County Marsh Speaks on Captured Pilots Rep. JohnO. Marsh, Jr., said here Saturday night that, “any measures inconsistent with international law which may be taken by the North Vietnamese against our captured pilots, or other military personnel, can be expected to produce a national reaction in the United States which will demand stern measures by our policy leaders in Washington*. “The concern now being expressed in the Nation’s Capital by the President and by members of Congress merely reflects national sentiment, and North Vietnam should take a most careful reading of the temper of the American people before undertaking to brand our men as war criminals,* Marsh said. The 7th District Congressman spoke at a dinner meeting of post commanders during the State Convention of the American Legion at the Hotel John Marshall. “Irrespective of the decision of Ho Chi Minh and his fellow aggressors of North Vietnam, we need additional forthright action in support of our men Denim's Wearing A New''Old-Look ' That old stand-by cotton denim is beginning to show its age . . . and with fabulous results. Now it’s wearing a new “weather-beaten” look that’s suddenly the year’s biggest hit in sportswear. Call it scrubbed, brushed, or sueded—it’s all the same old reliable denim only now with a slightly napped surface and irregular streaks of color for a soft, faded appearance. The idea for scrubbed denim probably drew its inspiration from the teen-age fad of giving stiff new jeans an overnight soaking in ammonia water to make them look “broken in.” Now teen-agers earn put away their ammonia bottles: the aged look of denim is put in at the mill. Scrubbed denim’s appeabisn’t confined just to teenagers and their jeans. It’s making a fashion impact throughout all of leisure wear, in children’s as well as grown-upe’ styles. A natural for the rough and ready styling that’s currently popular in sportswear, scrubbed denims turn up in way out western pants and skirts, hip-riding shorts, ranch-hand jackets, and ponderosa shirts. Even bellbottoms and sailor-styled pea coats are popping up in this newest denim. Faded blue is the favorite color . . . since the streaky and washed-out characteristics show up best in this traditional shade. But colors like loden green, cranberry, sand, gold—even a hue called “potato”—are moving into prominence for fall.

J engaged in the defense of South Vietnam, and this should include mining of the major supply port, Haiphong,"Marsh said. “This should be done only after proper notice to our socalled friends who have been helping to supply the forces which are fighting our men," Marsh said; “air drops of mines could close that harbor, and I think this should be done; it is ridiculous to say that we cannot do it because it might annoy our ‘friends' -- [ do not view as a friend anyone who is supplying for monetary gain the means whereby our enemy kills our men. “In thip connection," Marsh continued, “I am troubled by the continued friendly attitude we reflect to the Soviet Union, when missiliae supplied* by Moscow are being fired against our airmen, it seems to me to be an Alice-in Wonderland situation when our diplomats maintain normal relations with Moscow while Moscow sends rockets to North Vietnam which are being fired, every day, against our planes. “A minor, but curious, example of this ‘turning the other cheek' attitude is the recent disclosure that our own government proposes to help the Soveit Union obtain a new embassy ■ site in Washington by offering Moscow the grounds of a former veterans’ hospital," Marsh said. My War Record by 6. W. F. Hammer .< • EDITOR’S NOTB-This ii a record kept by * Confederate eoldier daring the Civil War and will be published' in a aerie* of article* in the Rappahannock New*. . The eoldier, George Washington For Hummer, wa* bora in Loudoun County, Virginia, on November SO, 1827. He caught the spirit of ’61 and enlisted Hay 24 of that year with the Loudoun Cavalry in the service of the Confederacy. He often referred laughingly to the fact that he did not surrender until 20 days after Gen. Lee gave up the cause at Appomattox. At the close of the war he returned to the farm in Loudoun and later that year received an appointment with the U.S. Patent OOfice and moved to Washington, D.C., where he worked until h'ls1 death January 13, 1914. It seems ironic that after surviving four years of war Mr. Hummer was struck by a hospital ambulance in Washington and died two days later of injuries sustained. He wrote his war record m September of 1909 from notes kept during the conflict. I voted for a Union man, John Hanney, to go to the convention which passed the ordinance of secession of my state, Virginia, but on the 23rd day of May 1861 I voted for secession, and the next day, the day the state of Virginia was invaded, I entered the service of the Confederate States. I entered, to stay until the close of the war, which I did. I surrendered, on the 29th of April '65, twenty days after General Lee surrendered. The reason I was not with Gen. Lee when he surrendered, was that I was sent with Col. Edmond Berkeley, to Fauquier and Loudoun Counties, to get lead and arms, and the surrender took place while we were away. Later we went to Fairfax C. H., surrendered and were paroled. My first service was with; the Loudoun Cavalry, armedj with an old flintlock musket,; but I did not carry it very! long. I soon got a carbine,! and later a revolver which I preferred. We performed picket duty at various places in Fairfax and Loudoun. One place was at Lowe's Island, where I and a small number of my company were fired on by a regiment of the enemy on the other side of the river. They, did not hit anyone, butHt made us feel uncomfortable,"?! being the first time we were under fire. About the first of July, while on picket duty near Broad Run Bridge, eight and a half miles below Leesburg, I was accidentally shot by a comrade who was drunk, the ball striking just below the kneecap, which kept me off my horse for nine days. On the 17th of July I heard that Col. Eppa Hunton who commanded the 8th Virginia infantry and three cavalry companies was ordered to the stone bridge over Bull Run. The morning of the 18th, I went to Leesburg In time to go with my company. My knee was not well and did not get well for several weeks, but I wanted to be with my company if there was a battle. On the morning of the 19th, I was left with five of my company to picket the road near Sudley Springs. About twelve o'clock I went to Col. Hunton with some information in regard to the movement of the Union Army. After delivering my information, I wanted to go back to my company. Col. Hunton would not let me go, but kept me with him as his courier. On the 21st the first battle of Manassas was fought. After that day I did not want to leave Col. Hunton and the 8th Virginia, and when ordered on the 22nd of December to rejoin my company inside of twentyfour hours, I obeyed the order but on the same day applied for a transfer to the 8th Virginia Infantry, which I received the first day of February '62. Here I remained until the close of the war. Col. Hunton wrote to Gen. Beaureguard’s Adjutant General asking him to let me remain with him, and said that he could not do without me. Maj. Norbourn Berkeley carried the letter and said all he could to prevent my going. He told the adjutant general that my horse was lame; he said if my horse could not go, I must walk. Maj. Berkeley then told him that I was lame; he then said if I could not walk, I must crawl. I rejoined my company on the 23rd of December '61 and remained with it until the first day of February 1862. The morning of the 25th of December '61 my company was on picket east of Fairfax C. H. I was put on post at four o’clock in the morning, to be relieved at six, but they did not relieve me until eight. That was the last time I was on picket duty. I do not think one can know how he will feel in battle until he tries it. When going in battle, I prayed to our Heavenly Father to enable me to do my duty. I prayed that my life might be spared, if it was His will, but if it was His will that I should be killed, I asked Him to take me to rest, and to take care of and comfort my wife and children and aged Father and Mother. I was enabled to so act as to please my colonel who commenced talking about me the next day, not knowing that I was present. When he saw me_Jjs_ said, “Hummer, I did not know you wereTpresent but as I have commenced, I will say what I was going to say." He spoke of me in the highest terms of praise. In reply I said I was gratified if I had given satisfaction. He said I gave entire satisfaction. Several times during the day July 21, 1861 Col. Hunton saw men marching and did not know whether they were friends or foes. He would send me to find out who they were. They were all friends. The regiment was in line of battle by the side of a narrow strip of woods, between the “Robison T°wwmr CULPEPER mem 3 - Big Shopping Days - 3 SIDEWAIK SAM ALL ROADS LEAD TO CULPEPER and Henry houses. General Beaureguard told Col. Hunton to charge through that woods and then move by the left flank to the Henry house. Before he started, he told me to ride through the woods and ride up and d&wn the far edge | of it and see if there were any Yankees there. I rode | through the woods; there were no Yankees. He charged through the woods and then went to the Henry House where the hard fighting was taking place. Gen. Beaureguard ordered him to fall back a short distance; he did so and made the men lie down. If he saw a man raise his head from the ground he would tell him to lie down. Col. Hunton was on his horse. The balls were flying quite fast. Major Berkeley told him he thought they might get down and shelter themselves behind their horses. Col. Hunton said he feared it would have a bad effect on the men. After awhile he did get off of his horse; I was glad when he did for I wanted to get off mine. I got down but had to mount again for a battery had opened fire in the rear of us, and I had to go to find out if they were friends. There was corn around the Henry house and I do not think I saw a stalk that was not struck by £ bullet. I suffered for water that day as I did not have a canteen! In the morning, after twelve o’clock, I went to look for water, and found a pond in a cornfield. It was so warm it did but little good. After going to the Henry house, I got a canteen and found a nice spring. The balls were flying thick around it, but I had to stop and drink and fill my canteen. I think a man will risk his life for water. About the middle of the week we went back to Loudoun Coun ty, where we lived well, until the battle of Ball’s Bluff which occurred on the 21st of October '61.

They include; An increase in monthly bene fits by 7 percent . . . retroactive to January 1965. Those of you who were receiving bene fits at the time of the changes received an automatic increase; those of you who filed since that time had this increase included in your original benefit; and those of you who qualify at a later date will also benefit by the same amount. The maximum yearly earnings which can count for social security was raised from $4800 to $6600 starting with this year.

Ponds Can Be Dangerous 11 you swim in a supervised area, your chances of drowning are 98 per cent less than if you’re at an unsupervised pool, pond or beach, according to the National Safety Council. This message should be particularly meaningful to rural children, many of whom have a convenient farm pond available. During National Farm Safety Week, July 24-30, the National Safety Council reminds owners of rural ponds of their responsibility and points out how farmers can make these areas safe for recreation: • Recognize that farm ponds are potentially hazardous, especially to small children, and should be supervised by an adult when children are at pky-. • Mark the safe swimming areas. • Place warning signs at danger points. • Provide lifesaving devices, such as ring buoys, ropes or long poles. • Do not permit boaters to enter a swimming area where small children are at play. • Post safety instructions for swimming and boating. • Don’t permit swimmers to swim alone. • Keep swimmers and boaters out of the pond just prior to and during storms. • Enclose your pond with a fence children can’t climb.

It is not intended to replace other caution or warning devices such as flags, reflectors or lights. The emblem was developed by Ohio State University research specialists in an attempt to reduce the number of rearend collisions involving slowmoving vehicles designed to travel at speeds oHess than 25 miles per hour.

Other states are considering similar legislation. Traffic safety experts theorize that the average motorist* does not realize how slowly %he vehicle ahead of him is moving until it is too late to avoid a collision. Under normal conditions, recognition of the emblem would provide ample time for the motorist to safely reduce his speed. During National Farm Safety Week—July 24-30—special emphasis is being placed on the SMV emblem to promote its use and to acquaint the motorist'with its meaning. Leon Urben, director of farm safety activities for the National Safety Council, says, “even though there are more than 100,000 SMV emblems in use, we still have a big task ahead in educating the motoring public and the owners of the more than 11 million slow-moving vehicles estimated to be in use today.” Custom Work Will open your cornfield 1 with 2-row selfpropellfed Fox cutter or cut your entire crop.
