T*. B1CH*0*D l** *k m SEP ft t966 SIHIUWM VOLUME XVIII. NUMBER 43 New teachers for the 66-67 session of school at Rappahannock County High School are, seated, Mrs. Helen Kilby, Sperry - ville, Miss Jean Lillard, Flint Hill, Mrs. Jewlel Magarity, Castleton, and Miss Edith Younger of Baltimore, Md. Standing are Richard Neff, Moorefield, W. Va., James Adkins, Boyce, formerly of West Va., and Dennis Wingfield, principal. Nationwide Survey Shows Earnings On Rappk. Farms Above Average Farmers in Rappanannock County made out better last year, in terms of gross income, than did farmers in most parts of the United States Their overall receipts, on a per capita basis, were above average, according to a nationwide survey of farm and ranch operations. They were able to produce and market more than they had for a long time. Generally favorable weather was an important. factor*. _ .. Also contributing t o the bumper harvest were the increased use of farm machinery, heavier applications of chemical fertilizers and more effective cultivation, thanks to better weed killers and pestt cides. Just how thelocalfarm community fared, compared with others, is detailed in the annual report on farm incomes, issued by the Standard Rate and Data Service. It lists total receipts in Rap pahannock County from farm operations at $4,413,000, an increase over the prior year’s $4,275,000. The figure refers to gross income, before deduction of operating costs. It was high in relation to the local farm population. On a per capita bais itrepre sented a gross income of $4,012 per person. This topped the returns reported for most areas of the United States the average being $3,656 per farm resident. In the South Atlantic States it was $2,589, ‘ ThlF ln£Smd“"figiifes 'comprise the cash collections from all crop and livestock marketings as well as govern ment payments and the value of items raised and used on the farm, known as “income in kind.” Of the amount received local ly from the sale of farm products, Department of Agriculture figures indicate that ap proximately 48 percent of it came from crops and 52 per cent from livestock, poultry and dairy goods. American farmers and ranch Fun Party Carnival Grosses $1,100.00 The Fun Party and Carnival which was held last week-end for the Ambulance Fund of the Chester Gap Volunteer Fire Department grossed $1100.00. The firemen wish to express their thanks to everyone who attended or who helped in any way. The cake which was given away on Friday night was won by Miss Mattie Williams of Chester Gap. On Saturday night the country ham was won by Reuben Brady of Front Royal and the cake by Mr. Atkins of Sp*rryyiHe. - ers as a whole, with the best year in a long time under their belts, have substantially improved their financial position according to the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. Their total realized income increased by about $1 billion and was the highest since 1952. Further improvement can be expected this year, says Agri culture Secretary Orville L. Freeman. He predicts a net income $1.5 billion above last year’s. Dry weather still prevails in Rappahannock and the situation is acute. This dry river bed gives mute testimony as to the extent of the drought which has blanketed the county all summer. Thornton Gap River, where it passes under a bridge on Route 211 just east of Sperryville, is bone dry. This river comes from the Old Hollow and at the highway location not a drop of water is to be found. Jack Woodard who livea nearby (in picture) says tKis is the first time he has ever seen it that dry and he has lived here most of his 72 years. In the fall of 1942 the river was out of bounds and flooded all the bottom land in the area and washed away a house and a shed. ASC Committee Nominations Invited A call for the “best men! available" to serve on the ASC community committees was issued today by H. S. Barksdale, Chairman, Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation County Committee. Slates of nominees for membership on ASC community committees soon will be estab lished at the county office. “The committee system is the backbone of farm programs," the Chairman declared. “Its responsibilities Include the conservation of natural resources, the stabilization of agricultural commodities, and price-support activities which protect and improve farm income. We need the best possible crosssection of farmers to insure effective administration of the various measures.” The Chairman pointed out that any local resident who is eligible to take part in an ASCS farm program may vote, and he may hold office as a committeeman regardless of race, color, creed, or national origin. Further information regarding qualifications of committeemen is avail able at the ASCS county office. Farmers who are eligible to vote in the community committee elections also have the right to nominate as candidates for committee membership any farmer who is eligi- ( ble and willing to serve. Such petitions, each one nominating ■ one farmer and signed by six : or more eligible voters, may be filed at the county office! any time before September j 16, 1966. Eligible voters may I sign as many petitions as they wish. Additional nominations may be made by the incumbent ASC community and county committees. These committees, in their selection of nominees, will make every (Continued on Page 2) Fire and Rescue Squad Notes On Saturday the Flint Hill Rescue Squad ambulance brought Stanley Foster from Warren Memorial Hospital to his home.

Thoughts on AntiPoverty Program The word poverty can apply mentally, physically, spiritually and materially. The poverty-stricken people look upon it more materially, but In reality, it should be a program that goes deeper. Let's ask ourselves some questions: 1. What conditions gave rise to the Anti-Poverty Program? 2. Was it due to misfortunes of different kinds? 3. Was it because of mental retardations? 4. Was it due to their social standing that ability was not recognized? 5. Was it due to illiteracy - lack of education? 6. Have the underprivileged been neglected too long? The question now arises as to who is qualified to administer this program. Should it not be a professionally trained psychologist? No one should have this job unless he is sympathetic and understaindlng toward his fellow-man.’ He should be capable of building within the minds of the underprivileged a set of values that will enrich their lives accordingly. . In the selection for the excellent Anti-Poverty jobs, I do not think they should be vested in one or two families. If there is a good federal job vested in one member of a family should another member of the same family be handed a top Federal AntiPoverty job? If so, this could undermine the purpose of the whole program. Matilda Walker Rapp-Chats Bv W. H. Ljne Just learned how our 4-H boys who exhibited dairy heifers at the Culpeper Farm Show came out. As most of you know yours truly was tied up with the BCIA weighing and grading during the week of this event and consequently the tardiness in the following. Larry and Kenneth Cave and John Harris each exhibited a Holstein heifer (Junior calf) which they fed and. fitted at Mt. Vernon Stock farm where their dadswork. Manager, Edwin Scroggins, Jr. reported Larry* 8 calf placed 2nd, John’s 3rd and Kenneth's 4th. Since Culpeper is considered the Holstein Capital of Virginia, we salute these boys and Edwin Scroggins for their fine showing. For sure it is nice to see a farm manager take an interest in the boys who live on the farm he super vises! C. G. and David Thornhill, sons of Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Thornhill, Boston, Va. exhibit ed four market hogs each at the Orange Area Junior Market Hog Show and Sale last week. All but one graded US#1 and weighed 190 to 215 pounds.

People groaned, scowls appeared and eyes of some newcomers stared withbewild erment up the hall as the wheels of a new season started rolling. Several students began their school day by arriving early to distribute material directing the students to their home * rooms and informing them of < opening activities. After such . matters as fees, insurance, etc. were explained, the students body assembled in the 1 auditorium for an address by j our new principal Mr. Dennis Wingfield. Mr. Wingfield outlined a policy concerning school matters, ' introduced some changes, and gave us a very good set of rules which Will minimize the inconvenience of overcrowding until the new wing is completed. Following the assembly students attended shortened morn' ing classes and then were served a hearty lunch at noon. Three more afternoon classes preceded another assembly which concluded the day.’s < work. Dismissal came at 2:30 and some 310 tired people departed for home. So went the first day of school and so goes my first edition of Panther Tales. I hope that I shall be able to do as good a job of reporting school news as have the seniors of the past. Students!

Willis Chapel Methodist Church held its semi-annual lawn party on the church grounds Saturday evening with a record crowd attending.

Dove Fields Readied for Hunters Dove hunters should !ind relatively good shooting on specially prepared fields on eight Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries Wildlife Management units in Piedmont Virginia this fall, accord ing to Game Division Chief R. H, Cross. “Drought conditions have forced unusually early harvest of many grain crops so food for the migratory doves is expected to be scarce," Cross said. The later September 17 opening this year should find Commission plantings of corn and millet a little more mature than usual and thus more attractive to the birds. Fields on Quantico, Hawfield, A. P. Hill, Cumberland Forest, Powhatan, Camp Pickett, Kerr Reservoir and Elm Hill wil; be open on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons during the first half of the split dove season, Septem ber 17 through November 5, 'There is no speORl Wpfdp shooting on these areas other than a valid hunting license. Corn, millet and other grains have been planted in rows separated by lanesof bare soil to facilitate dove use. The fields range in size from 30to 100 acres. In past years success has been highest on Camp Pickett and Kerr Reservoir fields. Although the state dove popu lation is thought to be high, gunning success this fall will depend on the availability of food. If the birds find food scarce, a great number of them may move rapidly south in search of better conditions Attention Farmers! For your information the following has just been received from W.

N. Kerrick. There were fewer fatalities during the period just ended however, with 9 reported as compared to 13 the previous year. Shotguns as usual were responsible for the majority of accidents accounting for 68 per cent of the total. Seven mishaps involved h i g hpowered rifles, nine involved small bore rifles and two resulted from careless use of handguns. Small game mishaps outnumbered big game accidents by a considerable margin. The majority of the accidents occurred at less than 50 yards and in relatively light to open cover. Over half of the persons responsible for these tragedies were less than 20 years of age and over one-fourth of those injured or killed were in the same age group. Only two of the shooters had completed the Hunter Safety course sponsored by the Game Commission and the National Rifle Association. In both of these cases, the shooter stumbled and fell, causing the accidental discharge. Careless gun handling *esulH ing in an accidental discharge was a factor in nearly half of the .mishaps. Ten of the victims were mistaken for game, four of these in dense cover and the rest in relatively openareas. A shot gun discharge) at point-blank range was the most common fatal combination. 4-H Pony Show Scheduled In Luray The Northern District 4-H Horse and Pony Show for 1966 will be held at the Page Valley \gricultural and Industrial Fairgrounds (located one mile East of Luray just off Route 211 on Marye Lane) at Luray, Virginia on Saturday September 17, 1966 at 9:00 a.m. Any boy or girl (age 9-19) who is a member of an organized 4-H light horse or pony is eligible.

Veterans News Veterans having military ser vice since January 31, 1955. should be warned to avoid signing contracts or agreements to enroll in correspon dence or similar courses in anticipation of eligibility for educational benefits under the new G. I. Bill. Veterans who enter into such agreements might become obligated under a contract to pay a school which has not been approved by the Veterans Administration or the State Ap proval Agency. Under these circumstances, the Veterans Administration could not pay the veteran his monthly allow ance for education and training. Before signing any Contracts or agreements, veterans should first determine whether the school and the course have been approved. This information is available through any Veterans Administration Regional Office or any office of the Virginia Division of War Veterans Claims. Schools offering courses by correspondence must still be approved by the approving agency in each state. The report of approval, however, is furnished to the VA Central Office, which in turn furnishes a complete listing of such institutions to each Regional Office. Once a veterna has determined that the school and course are approved, he can then complete and submit his application form. This form can be obtained from any office of the Virginia Division of War Veterans Claims. When pursuing a course of education by correspondence, a veteran is only paid educational allowance at a rate which will reimburse him for the cost of the lessons he completes. Such payments may normally be expected from the VA at the end of each quarterly period, since the amount is not enough to justify the VA issuing a check each month. Edward M. Mathews, Veterans Claims Agent, of the Front Royal Office of DWVC is in Washington at the Clerk’s Office on 2nd. and 4th Monday from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. and will gladly give more details on this subject or any other matter connected with veteran's affairs.

Health Dept Warns Coaches On Heat Fatigue With early fall football practice underway in Virginia, the Commissioner of the State Health Department urged this week precautions against heat fatigue, heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Dr. Mack I. Shanholtz reminded coaches and trainers that heat fatigue dulls an athletic’s alertness and makes him more vulnerable to injury. Heat exhaustion and stroke can be severe enough to cause death. Six such deaths were listed in the 1965 football fatality report. These heat injuries are preventable by careful control of various factors in the conditioning program of the athlete, Dr. Shanholtz said, and with the start of practice in warm, humid weather, it is essential to provide for gradual acclimation to the activity. With a graduated training program, this can be expected to take place over approximately a week, the official said. Even after that, it is advisable to alternate periods of strenuous exercise with periods of rest during hot weather. Dr. Shanholtz also made these observations: The idea that water should be withheld from athletes during workouts has no scientific foundation; but while it is essential to replace water lost through perspiration, intake at any time should be held to about half a glass. Salt also needs to be replaced daily, particularity during the acclimation period. Extra salting of the athletes food will accomplish this. Salt tablets may be irritating and poorly absorbed. Completes Course Helena Brown, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. H. Brown of Amissville, has completed a six-week educational program course at the Women's Community Center in Richmond and has been assigned to Poland, Maine. Here she will assume a position in the beau tician’s field. Miss Brown was accompanied to National Airport by her father when she left Tuesday, August 30 for Maine.

It is important to observe the athletes, carefully for signs of lethargy, inattention, stupor, awkwardness, or unusual fatigue. Water and salt depletion symtoms can include sluggishness, headache, nausea, hallucinations, and weak or rapid pulse. Dr. Shanholtz said that if heat illness is suspected, prompt eniergency action should be taken, including immediate first aid and prearranged procedures for obtaining medical care.
