Flint Hill Firemens Carnival To Continue Through Saturday Flint Hill Firemen's carnival opened last night and will continue through Saturday. Featured event of the Wednesday night opening was a brilliant display of fireworks. Tonight, Thursday at 7 p. pi. the annual parade will begin with numerous entries which include clowns, beauty quee»s, majorettes, marching units, fire and rescue equipment and others. Leading the parade will be the United States Navy Band and Miss Deborah Lough Pest Bird Control Demonstration Set Arrangements have been completed to have Nelspn Swink, Wildlife Biologist, U.S. Department of Interior, to conduct demonstrations on pest bird poisoning techniques in Rappahannock on August 22. While this method is difficult at best, it is important that producers of corn and tree fruits gain knowledge of all known control measures. In recent years pest birds have caused thousands of dollars damage to corn and even greater damage to apples. Seemingly, birds, blackbirds and starlings in particular prefer the biggest, reddest apples which grow in tops of trees. Demonstrations will be held at C. E. Johnson’s Atha Brown Orchard at 10 a. m. and at John R. Moore’s home orchard at 2 p. m. Mr. Swink will also discuss and describe other methods of preventing bird damage to fruit and field crops. All interested farmers and orchardist will be welcomed at the demonstrations. Errant Wheel Is Lions Sensation. The Rappahannock Lions Club held its annual picnic for members, families and guests on Red Oak Mountain last Wednesday evening. Food, fun, conversation and games were enjoyed by the approximately forty people attending in the cool, but very hazy weather, and the leading topic of the evening was the experience of Lion President Stuart, who with Mrs. Stuart, fwas the first arrival at the lookout tower. it seems tnat on pamng, and debarking, Capt. Stuart immediately discovered that the left rear tire on his station wagon had gone flat. So after removing the chairs, table, stools, food, etc., the next move was to get out the spare wheel and make the usual preparations for changing a tire. Like many of us, Lion Stuart had not seen his spare tire in many moons, thus, on removing it from its hiding place he bounced it on the ground to test its worthiness. With that bounce the wheel took off down the hill and Lion Stuart running after it, each increasing speed with every revolution and every step. It quickly became evident that the cause was lost, and with Lion Stuart laughing at the ludicrousness of the situation and Mrs. Stuart shouting at him to stop running, and nobody else to enjoy the scene, the wheel continued merrily on its way. It jumped a*barbed wire fence and disappeared into the trees well down the steep slope. Shortly thereafter, but too late to applaud the race, Lions Raymond Johnson, Sears Raymond and Harry Lee Smith with others, arrived. With the doughty Forest Warden in the lead, a search and recovery party was formed, which located and retrieved the errant wheel. The posse declared that if the wheel had not hit the trees, it would be rolling yet, and anyone who has been on top of Old Red Oak will agree. The excitement over, the wheel was properly installed and the picnic proceeded otherwise undisturbed. The year 1967 will mark the Golden Anniversary of Lions International, commemorating fifty years of outstanding achievement in the annals of international friendship and humanitarian service, and Rap pahannock Lions will Join in the special activities concerned with the anniversary. of Elkton. Miss State Fair, will be grand marshal. Prizes to be awared on Friday night are a 600 pound Angus heifer and a complete set of china. Additional prizes, including the grand prize, a 66 Plymouth, will be given away Saturday night. Other prizes are cash in the amounts of $75, $50 and $25. Each night an exhibit of the Virginia Department of Highways may be seen at no charge Good food will be available at all times and ten thrilling rides will fill the midway.

Vi., Subscription Rate (In Advance): $2.50 per year in Rappa.j kannodt and adjacent counties; fS.00 elsewhere. Rapp-Chats j By W. H. Lyne Extension Agent, Agriculture People have requested my expanding on last weeks’ Tips on handling or managing cattle during drought conditions. First, let me say youir Extension Agent, Agriculture has no magic wand or cure-all solution to the critical situation people are facing regarding feed and water shortages. Secondly, remember that management is only a guestimate (at best) based upon what has been proven right and on what we think is right. Perhaps the best advice Ij could give farmers and home owners would be that each and! everyone first to thank thoroughly. study thoroughly, their individual situation. If this doesn't help you reach a solution, don't feel someone will consider your asking for advice silly or childish. Neither would it be wise to believe your solution is the best possible. The man who knows all the answers hasn’t been born. Okay - here we go on points to ponder. Chew them up - spit 'em out - after all situations ate different and there is no one cut and dried answer even though many things are about as drv as they can get. TIPS ON CATTLE "Remember a good cow herd is hard to come by even if you have plenty of money and can afford to sell at a loss and buy back without pinching the pocket book. Infact a good herd of cows is seldom bought; they are built over the years under the watchful eye of the master. Hold to the best females you ph most herds ther&are some. Tree-loaders1’; get rf0 bTOris kind first. The old, the poor milkers, the fools that are hard to handle and keep the entire herd stirred up. The shy breeders and diseased should go. Probably next to consider -are those "late calves”; cows that, comes October and November will have only a 30C pound calf at side. - I assume of course that you got rid of that non-producer long ago. A cow that produces less than $100 income per year is no asset - in most herds she is a liability even under best cropping conditions. It could prove profitable to have an experienced person to palpate, or pregnancy test, the TP*1. cows now rather than in the fall and consider getting rid of those to calve late In 1967. If you have to sell young cattle, take another look at those replacement heifers. If you must sell calves let the heifers go - perhaps even the lightest steers - those that can’t possibly make 300 pounds by fall even if pastures were 100% normal. If you have fields providing better grazing than others - give the best to cows suckling calves. A dry cow can get-by on skimpy pastures. Creep feeding calves, based on research, has generally paid when; (a) pastures are short, (b) cows are old, (c) first calf heifers or (d) when the cattleman is selling a specialty such as purebreds for seed stock at premium prices. CONSERVE FEED, FEED JUCIOUSLY AND BUY WISELY Forage is'the primary feed for cattle. Unless you have over half, the forage you normally need for winter don’t feed it now. Feeding some grain now on skimpy pasture likely will be less costly. Cattle can get by on 50% of a forage ration in winter plus grain (cow 10 lbs hay equivalent plus 4 lbs. grain.) With hay at 2 1/40 and grain at 3 1/20 you would save 6 1/20 per cow per day on her winter ration by buying grain rather than buying hay. Whether you can feed the grain as cheaply as you can hay?; or whether you have facilities for feeding grain are other points to consider. (These prices may not be actual; rather they serve only as a guide line,) however 4 lbs. farm grains can replace ten pounds of average hay in a cows daily ration allowance. Save straw (small grain or orchard grass) . . both will ilin ar.owKl,|Q% T.D.N. rj< Prepare to handle feed with as little loss as possible to rats and in the feeding process. Don’t let mud - there will be some next winter - swallow a mouthful of grain or forage Intended for livestock. Buy on basis of protein content, or a T.D.N. content, which ever you are after. Don’t buy purely on a cost oer ton or 100 lb. bag. CONSERVE WATER Many farmers would be without livestock water were it not for forethought evidenced by construction of farm ponds in past years. -Need I say to forget washing cars, watering shrubs, trees, etc. This may funeral |IarIrrr0 H.

In time this land could be released. Such is expected any day. Property owners having such land will have to refund a part of the diverted acreage payment if it is released. Possibly you can get some of this land by making the refund. Other livestockmej* have reported having found a field of grass ungrazed this season which they have rented. Possibly there is more; but if so I don't know where. Some of you may have some brushy land you have intended cleaning up but haven’t done so due to pressures of work during a normal season.

The end of the week came all too soon for the Short Course Delegates and we were soon back home. Even though my dream of going to 4-H State Short Course has been fulfilled, it is not finished for there is always the hope of being able to go again next year. To represent my county at VPI was a privilege for which I am highly grateful. Many of my goals for my future years in 4-H have come from this week of friendship and education.

Start small, if you want, but start steady. The important thing is to have a regular program of setting something aside every payday. You say that takes more will power than you can muster up on a regular basis? Then use the easy automatic way: join the Payroll Savings Plan where you work. Here’s an example of how it can work for you: just $4.33 week adds up to the $18.75 you need to buy a $25 Bond every month. That’s $300, maturity value, a year. What’s more, your dollars will be working to help keep our country strong and free. So start now, start young, building up the savings that count so much later on.

Blacksmith Craft Shows Big Decline The spreading chestnut tree died of blight. The village smithy was torn down for a supermarket. And the blacksmith himself has taken to the road. Today's descendant of Longfellow’s mighty man with sinery hands -- and muscles like iron bands -- loads his forge and anvil into the car. He makes regular visits tofarms that still use horses and mules The most affluent craftsmen fit racehorses with shoes. These men are unionized, and some pay calls at tracks and horse-breeding 'farms in Cadillacs. Blacksmithing, as idealized by Longfellow in his poem about a tree-shaded smithy on Brattle Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts, has all but vanished, the Rational Geogujtlhic Societj&says. Many young men who wmlh to become blacksmiths go to technical schools or agricultural colleges for training. 110 Smiths Are Women There is still no substitute, however, for a strong arm and hammer. Since nobody has yet invented a device that can shoe a horse, some 21,280 blacksmiths still practice the craft RAPPAHANNOCK COON CLUB FIELD TRIAL & WATER RACES Sunday, August 14,1966 Starting at 9 a.m., at Aubrey Curtis Farm, Amissville, Va.

Of these 110 are women. New York City employs more than a hundrecT blacksmiths for various jobs. When the city advertised two vacancies in the Police Department in 1964, a parade of hopefuls showed up to demonstrate their skill at pounding red-hot metal, hammering nails, and trimming horses’ hooves. Shoes come ready-made in hundreds of sizes. One smith commented, "You don’t get the tang of burning hoof as much as you used to, because more than half the shoes are aluminum and they go ori cold." The average horse needs twice as many shoes each year as a child. A top-ranking craftsman carries in his mind the dimensions of highly bred clients’ feet, just as a tailor remembers the suit measurements of favored gentlemen. In addition to shoeing horses, the blacksmiths of rural America also made wagon tires, teeth for harrows, kiteft£fP%it«ifrSHs, candle holders, gunlocks, knives, and anchors. Some of today’s blacksmiths have abandoned farm work altbgether to create ornamental ironwork -- gates screens, lamps, fire baskets, trivets, and candelabra. OBITUARIES i Mrs. J. S.

Power Sales Continue Climb ’ '' Sales of electric power by the investor-owned electric companies in Virginia during the first six months of 1966 increased 10.4 per cent over the same period in 1965. Total sales, according to the Public Utilities Association of the Virginias, for the six months were 8.5 billion kilowatt hours. Of the various groups of customers, the use of electricity in the home and on the farm showed the greatest increase. Sales to these customers exceeded 3 billionkilowatthours for an increase of 10.8 per cent over 1965. The commercial and industrial customers used 4.8 billion kwhs for an increase of 10.1 per cent. The “all other* customers used 646 million kwhs, for street and highway lighting, lighting and cooling public buildings, as well as for other public purposes. This represents an increase of 10.2 per cent in sales for the period.

Vet Home Loan* Reach 42.000 Under New Bill Nearly 42,000 applications for home loans under the new GI Bill program already have been received, William J. Powers, Manager of the Roa- i noke Veterans Administration | Regional Office reported today. A VA study to determine what impact the Veterans Readjustment Act of 1966 (new GI Bill) has had on the nation’s economy also showed 135.000 veterans had applied for certificates of eligibility. In Virginia, Powers said the Roanoke VA Regional Office has processed 3180 requests for eligibility under the program, and 1608 applications for loans had been received. The number of applications for. GI home loans is considered important because the lender usually makes the application, indicating the loan 'has gone through the initial, or interviewing stage.

-lit ' My War Record * wo w.f. hwmt ^ :Y > '■ Ffcrt D . * The battle commenced about two or two-thirty o’clock with nine companies of the 8th ' Virginia numbering 375 muskets. I think it was near five o’clock when I conducted the 18th Mississippi Regiment into the fight; the 17th Mississippi went in later, conducted by Col. White. Two companies of the 13th Mississippi came to us sometime in the afternoon, altogether between 1700 and 1800 men. I was present when Gen. Evans told Col. Hunton the Yankees had gone into the woods. He told him to go to the edge of the woods, form in line of battle, charge through the woods and drive them into the river. Col. Hunton formed his line at the edge of the woods, but before he started he told me to ride through the woods to see where the Yankees were and to come back and tell him. I found them In line of battle on the bluff. I went back and told him what I had seen. He told me to go back and see if they had changed their position. 1 I went and saw them again, and reported again. This time I thought they had artillery. In a short time they commenced firing. Col. Hunton marched his men to the top of the ridge facing the bluff, ordered them to fire and fall back a few steps, to kneel while they loaded and thus be protected by the rising ground in front of them. From two histories I got out of a library in the Patent Office, I obtained the information that Col. Baker crossed the river about two or two-thirty o’clock found about 1800 men between the bluff and the river; so history on the other side agrees with my statement about the time the battle commenced. For over two hours the 8th Virginia was fighting four or five times its number. The battle closed a little before dark; the 8th Virginia retired to Fort Evans, leaving a picket of fifteen men on the field to guard against surSrise -attack. About eleven ’clock that night Col. White came to the fort reporting there was a number of the enemy between the bluff and the river. Forty-five men volunteered to go down and capture them. They captured 307. Capt. Evans counted them as they went in the court house yard. I heard him say there were 307. We captured that day over seven hundred. About the 1st of December the 8th Virginia was put in Pickett's Brigade and we went into winter quarters nearCenterville. From the 23rd of December I was with my old company, the Loudoun Cavalry until the 1st of February 1862. About the middle of February I went home sick and remained until the 8th of March. I had to leave then, being in danger of being captured since the enemy was at Leesburg. I was still quite unwell, and my father and mother were both sick, which made it very hard for me to leave. I felt that it was doubtful that I would ever see them again, but the good Lord was kind to us and spared us all to meet again. My wife and children were young, and if I was not killed, I expected to see them again. ine ntgnt oi tne »tnot Marcn I stayed at Mrs. Rogers’ in j Fauquier County near Lank-| mark; the 9th with a brother of Col. Hunton’s in Prince | William County; the 10th at Mr. Skinker’s in Fauquiei County; the 11th I joined my regiment beyond Warrenton. The night before we reached Orange C.H., having to sleep on the ground, 1 had a chill and was very sick. The next evening Col. Hunton told me to go ahead and try to find a place to stay. I stayed at Dr. Toliver’s and was very kindly treated. I stayed the re several days. The Doctor gave me medicine, and I was very much improved when my command passed and I had to follow it. One night, after riding in the rain and snow all day, I had to scrape away the snow and slush and spread my saddle blanket down and lie down on it with my head on my saddle, and with two blankets over me. We moved slowly on to Richmond and went down | the James River in boats to ! King’s Landing, near Yorktown. Leaving there, we marched up to Williamsburg where we had to fight, on the 5th of May, to save our train. I am an old man and have seen many muddy roads, but none to equal those around Williamsburg at that time. The next day we resumed our march and encamped near i Richmond, where we remained until the last of May, when we went into the Battle of • ■!

We had a great surpiise; our men had stacked arms, and were very busy plundering a camp the enemy had been driven out of the day before. I was a little ahead of anyone else when the enemy opened fire on us, uncomfortably close. They were concealed in a piece of fallen timber. The men ran to their guns and they were ordered to charge into the fallen timber, when they did, driving the enemy several hundred yatds before they were called back. Maj. Thrift was mortallj wounded in that battle. We returned to our old camp the next day, near Richmond, where we remained until the 27th of June. Knowing we were going t< move, I was up all night packing. We started on the 27th of June to go into the Seven Days' Battle near Richmond. We marched out to the Mechanicsville Turnpike, where we remained until about nine o'clock at night when we were ordered to march across the Chickahominy River. We marched over near Mechanics ville and encamped about two o’clock, and were awakened about daybreak by shells falling around us. On tne 28th the battle of Gains’ Mill was fought. Pickett's Brigade charged down a gradual slope, about four hundred yards, in the face of three lines of infantry, in a ravine and on the side of a hill behind breastworks and sixteen pieces of artillery on the top of the hill. They took all three of the fines of infantry, and then took the artillery. Some of the artillery men were running, trying to get away. Our men were tiying to catch them and while in that disorganized condition, the Union Cavalry charged them. Seeing the cavalry coming, they collected in little squads and waited until they were as near as they wanted them, then fired a volley at them and they ran away. Gen. Pickett was wounded in this battle. Col. Hunton was in command of the brigade now. Before we went into this battle, 1 took the negro boys and horses across the Chickahominy to a place of safety. I told them to stay there until I came for them.

Mr. Harris of Upperville. I searched for him a long time but did not find him. I then went after the boys and horses and when I got back the sun was up; so all the sleep I got that night was while I was riding along the road. We were not in any engagement Saturday or Sunday, but marched nearly all night Sunday night. (Continued Next Week) Washington News Mrs. William Jennings of Burlington, N.

Wool Incentive Price Increased for 67 The announced shorn wool incentive price of 66 cents a pound for the 1967 marketing year represents an increase of 1 cent a pound over the present level, H. S. Barksdale, Chairman, Agricultural Stabilization, and Conservation County Committee, has announced. The 1967 support price for mohair has been set at 76.4 cents a pound, 0.6 of a cent a pound more than the present support price. The price of pulled wool will continue to be supported at a level comparable to the incentive price for shorn wool. As in previous years, shorn wool payments will be equal to a percentage of each producer’s cash returns from sales. The percentage will be that required to raise the national average price received by all producers for shorn wool up to the announced 66cents-a-pound incentive pricev Mohair payments will be determined in a similar manner. The Chairman explained that the support price for wool [or 1967 is fixed by a formula ig ,the Food and Agriculture Act of 1965. This’ legislation amended the National Wool Act of 1954 and extended the wool and mohair payment program through 1969. Under the ince n t i ve-price formula, the former support price of 62 cents is multiplied by the ratio of the average parity index (index of prices paid by farmers) for the most recent 3 years to the average parity index for 1958, 1959, and 1960. The Wool Act Requires support of mohair within a range of 15 percent below/above the comparable percentage of parity at which wool is supported. The 1967 mohair support price continues support at the legal minimum level. The 1967 marketing year is the 1967 calendar year.

Godwin Calls Education Conference Governor Godwin is asking local officials, school board members and other leaders to participate in the Governor’s Conference on Education he has called for Wednesday, October 5, at the Mosque in Richmond. Key people from across the State are being notified of the Conference plans in a letter being mailed by the Governor’s office tomorrow. Formal invitations will be Issued later this month. The one-day session, to be attended by legislators, county and city officials, businessmen, educators and interested citizens, will highlight Virginia’s present stance in education and delve into needs over the next decade in the entire spectrum of education, according to Governor Godwin. Particular emphasis will be placed on the education gap that exists between the State’s first-rate urban schools and those in many rural areas of Virginia. The Governor has urged that all of the systems be brought up to a minimum standard to assure young men and women in every section of the State exposure to a good education. With the new commitments to education made by the 1966 General Assembly, Virginia has made giant strides towards upgrading her education program to compare with the best in the South and the nation, Governor Godwin noted. Increased teacher salaries, State participation in summer schools and kindergartens, inauguration of a comprehensive system of community colleges expansion of the four-year college offerings, and a graduate incentive program are among the commitments made by the legislators. “Now we must maintain our momentum to keep pace with new challenges and new opportunities," the Governor said. His Conference on Education will explore ways in which the State and its localities My West Coast Trip By Billy Payne When we left Bend, Oregon Sunday morning the weather was cold and we could see snow on the mountains. We headed from Crater Lake and as we drove along there was snow on the side of the road. We stopped and played in it and cook pictures of the snow. Stopping at several lookout points, we saw the deep blue lake and also saw many birds and thousands of chipmunks. The chipmunks were so friend ly they would come to us for food. Entering California, we were greeted with a WELCOME sign and also an inspection station to make sure we did not bring any Virginia bugs to California may do this. Virginius Dabney, Editor of the Richmond Times-Dispatch will serve as chairman of the governor’s Conference on Education. At the station they especially Inquired about fruit we brought in, (plums, nectarines and one rotten orange). We-got our first view of the Pacific Ocean at Crescent City California. Along the beach we saw driftwood and decided to collect some. On to Eureka where we spent the night and the weather was so cold we had to turn the heat on. Monday we traveled down the Redwood Highway and went into a tree house which was 4,000 years old and was 250 fetet tall. We arrived in Yuba City Monday afternoon at the home of our relatives, Mr. and Mrs. Donald Foster. After a delicious home cooked dinner they showed us slides of their recent trip to the East coast. Other relatives, Mr. and Mrs J. W. Anderson, also arrived to welcome us to the coast, and Mom, Dad and I went to spend the night with them.

Free Parking Phone ME 5-25#? Front Royal, Va. many varieties of treatment for any condition, it is a reasonable supposition that none of them is highly successful. If one were, the others would be forgotten. So it goes with acne, the plague of youth. This "skin” disease, so distressingly common in adolescent boys and somewhat less so in girls, is not really a skin disease. It is a general condition manifesting itself most annoyingly in the skin eruption. It is essen. tially a by-product of the changes inherent in moving into manhood or along the way to womanhood. Glands Active At this time, the glands of internal secretion are especially active in guiding the maturing of the bo<fy and the estab'ishment of the adult pattern of sexuality. Among other glands stimu'ated are those of the skin, especially the oil or sebaceous glands. There is no need to describe acne. Everyone knows what it looks like and how it acts. The question is, what to do about it? The usual answer, “You’ll outgrow it” is met with the scornful rejoinder, "Yeah, but I’ve got a date this Saturday night!” And” who can blame the guy or the gal! Among other forms of treatment has been an effort, or many efforts, to control acne through diet. Usually the result is that a good diet is little or no help, but an unbalanced diet makes matters worse. Suspected foods are the fatty ones, the fried ones, the chocolatey ones and the sweet ones. But take out these foods from the adolescent diet, and what have you got? You’ve got revolution! Distorted Report A recent report attributing acne to milk was based on young people who drank up to four quarts of milk a day, to the detriment of the well-balanced diet which they should have had. Their acne was blamed on the milk. It should have been blamed on the quarts! No one recommends such excessive use of one food. I like the advice given in the Diet Manual of the Nutrition Department, the Presbyterian Hospital, New York City, which says in effect that the best diet for persons with skin disorders is one which is nutritionally adequate, in which the four basic food groups are represented: Meat, eggs, fish, poultry, milk and dairy products, fruits and vegetables, and whole-grain or enriched cereal products. No single food or group predominates in all allergic disorders, and a good diet accomplishes more than hit-or-miss elimination of specific foods. As to the rest of the treatment, let your doctor decide. And don’t pick the pimples! mmmm PRINTING. > z o ft s Trust All Your Printing to Us Our modern, precision equipment and highly trained staff can give you top quality printing and planning service for all your business needs.

Ethel. Lof’i have lunch together." Soc. Security Notes "I will soon be 65 but I have no intention of retiring; how do I enroll for medicare and how do I pay the premium for the medical insurance?" This is a familiar question to the employees of the Winchester social security office, according to Mrs. Hazel F. Daly, district manager. The answer is that you should file a claim for social security benefits and enroll for medical insurance in the process. This will involve proving your age because you must be 65 to be eligible for medicare. Mrs. Daly states that this can be very simple or can be more difficult depending upon the availability of evidence of birth but in no case is it impossible. ",We ..are required to obtain the best available evidence of your date of birth," says Mrs. Daly. “If you are fortunate enough to have been born in a location where a public record of your birth was made or if you were baptized as an infant into a church that has kept a record, the Social Security Administration will need a copy of this record. Ii you are not so fortunate, other records can be used and our employees will help you find them." If you consider this to be a lot of “red tape", remember that public funds held in trust are involved and not only the possible expenditure of sizeable sums for medical care, but the amount of your monthly social security payment now or later is dependent upon when you attained the age of 65. If your age is properly established for medicare, this will be behind you and the payment of cash benefits when due you will be a snap according to Mrs. Daly. The $3 per month premium for medical insurance will be deducted from your social security check if you are receiving a social security check. If you are still working and your earnings do not allow you to receive social security benefits, you will have to pay this premium to the Social SERVICE UME and FERTILIZER SPREADING Magnesium or High Calcium, Lime it the same price.

Year Southern States Cooperative Agency Security Administration) preferably on a quarterly basis although arrangements can be made to pay for shorter or larger periods. “Nothing can be gained by delay and valuable protection can be lost. The best advice I can give you is to visit or telephone your social security office three months before age 65 regardless of your plans regarding retirement,* concludes Mrs. Daly. “If yotj will do this, you can't lose.* Veterans News More than 134,000 graves :ommemorate American ser* /icemen in Arlington National Cemetery. Monuments and nemorials represent every majot conflict in which the United States has been engaged Men who died in Vietnam are Interred there along . with Presidents John F. Kennedy and William Howard Taft. Burials at Arlington, the largest of the national cemeteries have increased by more than a third since the death of President Kennedy, and now average more than 25 a day. Last month cemetery officials opened a new 30-acre tract taken from adjacent Fort Myer. With this addition, Arlington now encompasses 462 acres, more than twice the original 221 acres designated by Secretary of War Edwin Stanton in 1864. John Metzler, cemetery superintendent, says the national publicity Arlington received from President Kennedy’s interment made more Americans aware of its beauty and historic meaning. But, Mr. Metzler says, the advancing age of more than 20,000,000 American veterans, many of them veterans of World War II, is probably the reason foi the present increase. The wife ff and minor children of each American who has served honorably on active duty in the armed forces also qualify for burial in a national cemetery. If the present interment rate continues, A rlington again will need to be expanded in 1990. The long lines of graves would have filled the cemetery by the end of this year if the 30 acres had not been added. The cemetery, on a wooded hillside overlooking Washington, is part of the former l, 100-acre estate of General Robert E. Lee. The Lee Mansion is in the center of the cemetery. Edward M. Mathews of the Front Royal Office of the Division of War Veterans’ Claims, is in Washington at the Clerk’s Office on 1st and 3rd Monday from 2:00 to 4:00p.m. and will gladly assist withany m. att.ei connected with veteran's affairs.
