Red Cross Responds To Family Needs Distance doesn’t concern Red Cross when Americans are in need. Through its program of services to the armed forces , Red Cross responds to the needs of the nation's military...wherever they may be stationed. At one end of a worldwide service channel is the Red Cross field director. f{n the space of a few hours, the field director may have to inform a, serviceman of serious illness or death in his family, help him with his application for military leave, and provide emergency funds, if necessary. Back home at the other end of the llne.;.is the local Red Cross chapter. Getting the facts and helping meet family problems caused by emergency situations is part of its job in providing services to military families. Several Rappahannock County families have had need of such a service in recent months. The Red Cross was there, ready to help, as it always is, at any time.

In the past, advances were made only from diversion pay ments. Since diversion payments are being authorized only on small farms in 1967, 50 percent of price-support payment may be advanced to other farms. On small farms, 50 percent of both diversion and price support payments may be advanced. To obtain advance payment, the farmer applies for it at the time he signs up to participate in the program. Dates for signup in 1967 have not been set but will be announced lyell before planting time. Advance payments are an important source of capital for farming operations. Price-support payments for corn computed at the rate of 30 cents a bushel times farm's projected yield on 50 percent of farm's base acreage for corn. For grain sorghum, calculation is same except rate is 53 cents per hundredweight. Projected yields will average a little higher nationally in 1967 than in 1966. Diversion payment for small farms — farms with feed grain bases of 25 acres or less — will be equal to 20 percent of total support for first 20 percent of base acreage diverted and 50 percent of support on any additional acres diverted, up to the total base. Farmers are also reminded to turn in their sales slips on wool and unshorn lambs sold before December 51,1966 ' • : | Mr 5 * $ ’ -j ■ *' Chester Gap Firemtrti^ <r Elect New Offker* ^;j The regular meeting oi the Chester Gap Fire Copkpapy was held at the fire hall Monday night, December 5 at ? o'clock, at which time thefollowing officers were elected: President, Bradley Williams; 1st Vice President, Albert Williams; 2nd Vice President, Sherman Williams; Secretary, Lewin Williams; Assistant Sec retary, Robert L.

Dec. 9, 1966 at 9:05 a.m. Photoelectric cells on the hood of the 15-inch Sunmobile convert solar energy into electrical power. In the Previews show a 300-watt lamp is used to simulate the sun's rays. As the light strikes the button-like cells, the car moves smoothly across the table. There are no plans to produce sun-powered cars in the foreseeable future," CM President James M. Roche declares "but thi6 demonstration symbolizes the continuing search of scientists and engineers for the secrets of power and cucigy. According to Previews lecturer, Mr. Stuart Guttentag, who will appear here with the show, the solar energy falling on one square mile of ground each day is equivalent to the energy in 400,000 gallons of oil. The Sunmobile illustrates one method of recovering some of this energy. Among eight other demonstrations in the Previews show are a roaring Jet engine, a vivid illustration of the gyroscopic principles that safely guide today's s'hips, planes and missiles, on an air-bearing platform that slides across any flat surface on a thin layer of air. Designed to inspire greater Interest in science and engineering, the 45-minute stage show is presented in non-technical language by a specially trained two-man team. Seven teams take the program to all parts of the nation. Since 1946, Previews of Progress has been seen by nearly 35 million people in the United States, Canada and 22 foreign countries.

Safe Toy Campaign To Prevent Eye Injury It is estimated that several hundred American children will suffer needless eye accidents during the coming holiday season due to potentially dangerous toys and Christmas tree hazards and that some will become blinded, re ports the National Society foi the Prevention of Blindness, Inc. On behalf of die Society's nation-wide Safe Toy Campaign, John W. Ferree, M.D., executive director of the NSPB, warns parents that 17^ of the more serious injuries to children's eyes are caused by missile-type toys such as pellet guns, dart guns, air guns, bean shooters and many toys with rubber bands such as sling shots. He cites a recent case of a four-year old boy who was accidentally struck in the eye by a plastic whirling helicopter launched at close range with a rubber band .causing an eye injury which could, result in blindness.* Or. Feree also alerts parents against buying'seemingly harmless* toys having protruding points, sharp edge8, detachable parts or those made with flammable or plastic materials that shatter. Last month President Johnson signed 'Child Protection* legislation which includes ban> ning the sale of children's toy8 containing hazardous substances. As part of its seasonal Safe Toy Campaign, the Society recommends that: •Christmas trees, not made Fire-proof by approved chemical sprays, should be kept in water to prevent dryln and causing fire hazards.t •Christmas trees should 1 kept away from heated radia tors or fireplaces. •All electrical wiring shoul be double-checked for short that can cause sparks an flames. •Lighted candles shoul never be used on the Christ mas tree and all tree deco ' rations should be unbreak ab] and nonflammable. The Society emphasize that good eye safety habits an attitudes should be practice in the home not only at Chrii mas time but all year rounc Aerosol spray canscontainin many different presurize liquids such as lnsectlcldet deodorants, antibiotics, ove cleaners, paint, and hair fix atives, should be kept out o reach of children at all time It has been recently found thi these liquids, if accidental! sprayed into the eye, can cau8< severe corneal damage. The National Society for th {Prevention of Blindness, Inc. 'founded in 1908, is the oldes voluntary health agency natio ally engaged in the preven tion of blindness through comprehensive program o community services, publi and professional education ar research.

Every dollar added to the investment in home laundry equipment buys more features, convenience and higher styling. The amount you should spend depends on how much value you put on convenience. Automatic washers in the low price level wash clothes at clean as those in the high price level. Differences lies in whether the machine or the operator must do the thinking. The term “minimum price can mean 'do-it-yourself", since flexibility in washing, rinsing, and drying can be obtained by resetting controls manually during the laundry cycle. Extra dollars do not provide cleaning power, but better automatic controls for water levels, speeds for different loads, extra soak-cycles, dispenses for bleach and watay temperature for different faKrics. Use your own judgement to decide whether you want to pay for the extra convenience or go with the standard model. Smokey Says: Match' lot tor kids! Rapp-Chats By W. H.

Because outdoor winter sports, especially skiing, sometimes are accompanied by sunburn fully as severe as that of swimmers st the seashore in midsummer. Of course, the winter sunburn is confined to face and neck, rather than most of the body, but it can be just as painful on the exposed parts yf the body as summer sunburn. . Today’s Health, the family magazine of the American Medical Association, points Dut that the sunburning effect yf sunshine is due in large part to the ultraviolet radiation that accompanies the visible light. These ultraviolet wave lengths, intense in outer 3pace, are partially filtered ay the atmosphere. as they reach the earth. In the higher altitudes, the sunlight does not aass through so deep a layer of atmosphere, and so the burning effect is more intense. And another factor is reflected radiation bouncing off the aright snow cover. Since overexposure to sunight is, in general, injurious and hastens the aging of skin, aurposeful exposure should be ivoided. Protective- clothing should be and usually is worn In .winter, except in the heat of spring skiing. There are a number of sunscreening agents which are lelpful when applied to the skin.r The.se "ipclude preparations containing ben zoahenones and preparations consisting of 15 percent paraamino benzioc acid (PABA) in a cream base, as well as preparations containing physicial sunscreens such as zinc axide and titanium dioxide. In general, the protective tgents must be applied frejuently because perspiration, ®£cst funeral arlars H. C. GEEST, Director 405 Sperryville Road Culpeper, Virginia Christopher Geest R. T.

Hunt Accidents Down The total of “reported Virginia firearms accidents” so far this season is considerably below the 19 reported at this time last year, according to Game Commission Safe ty Officer J. N. Kerriclt. None of the accidents thus far reported have been fatal. During the 1965-66 seaso.n a total of 57 Virginia hunters were injured in accidents, 9 of them fatally. Eight of the eleven accidents so far this season involved small game hunters, most of them engaged in hunting squirrels. Two of the accidents befell deer hunters and one was injured while hunting groundhogs. Shotguns were responsible for 9 injuries, high powered rifles for one and small bore rifles for one. Four of the eleven accidents occurred at lesh than 10 yards, 6 at distances from 10 to 50 yard* and one at greater range. Most occurred in light to open cover on clear or slightly overcast days. Careless gun handling was. the cause of most of the ac-^ cidents. A couple of the mishaps involved mistaken iden tity of the target and several involved victims caught in the line of fire. Dropped or otherwise accidentally. discharged weapons were responsible for most. Six of the shooters and 5 of the victims were under 19 years of itge. None had completed a hunter safety training course.

Plan Hunt Country Farms As Small Luxury Estates Two of the largest farms In the Fauquier County Hunt coun try of Virginia have been sold for development into small, high quality estates of 5 to 50 acres. Arthur B. Lawrence, Jr., Washington manager for Previews Inc., international real estate marketing service, an nounced the sale of 800-acre Possum Hollow Farm near Paris, and 516-acre Adams Farm near' The Plains. The two properties were owned by the Piedmont Valley Company, headed by Raymond W. Bates of Washington, D, C. Possum Hollow Farm was purchased by the First Colony Land and Development Corporation of Markham,' whose president Is Joseph Harvey. The corporation .Is already started on their program to develop an estate-type community which will feature fact litles for horses and riding, and will maintain the Hunt traditions of this part of Virginia. A private school and a small theatre for residents are an important part of the plan, according to Leon Broch, secretary-treasurer of the corpora tion. Homes in the Possum Hollow development will be in the $60,000 to $75,000 bracket. The second farm, Adams Farm, was purchased b y Henry Florance, Realtor and builder of Arlington, wellknown land owner in Fauquier County.

Forecast For 1967 - In the long winter nights , ahead, talk around many a fire- ] side will turn to the economic state of the union—and of the l household. An inside look at the prospects for the next year was given recently at the University of Virginia by one of the nation’s leading business forecasters, A. \V. Zelomek of New York. Zelomek, who is president of the International Statistical Bureau, also has been a visiting professor at the University’s Grad- [ uate School of Business Administration since it opened 11 years ago. With what he described as a "conservatively optimistic attitude,” he said: “ I will state un- f equivocally that there will be no j major recession in 1967. We mayj | even avoid a minor recession.” , j He said a cease fire in Viet ! Nam would not change this fore-1 cast, but if the war continues i "the year as a whole will show a greater increase . . . Most of the trends w'hich make for a decline have already been experienced.” Next to government spending, Zelomek feels that increased consumer spending will be the second greatest stimulus to next year’s economy. He predicted that consumers will spend about ; five per cent more than in 1966, based mainly on “pent-up de- 1 mand” for non-durable goods ; and services. j "The lag in buying of high j • ticket items is temporary.” hej: added. "With a reversal in resi-i; dental volume, and lower interest ! . 7 ■*! THE RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS, Washington, Va. * '"pj Thursday, December 8, 19M . "I . ates. an increase in these is ikely before the end of 1967.” Of other economic indicators le said: * Employment will continue at a record high level. * Unemployment will rot decrease any further. * The outflow of gold will be halted, and the dollar will continue strong. * Government spending will increase by about $7 to $S billion over 1966. * Residential volume will average lower for the year ara whole, but will probably improve in the second half. With a final comment on the effect of the November election. Zelomek said: “Bear in mind that while spending for the Great Society has increased, it has not been equal to what the Administration can and will spend if ne;essary . . . The new’ 90th Congress may be more economy minded, but it does not imply a decrease in spending. Tf funds are not needed for defense, they will be allocated for the Great Society.

Future Telephones To Dial World Sometime in the early 1970’s, an American will be able to telephone almost any where in the world without the help of an operator. Groundwork for worldwide direct dialing has already been laid, the National Geographic Society says. Each country has been assigned a number under a global plan approved by the International Telecommunica tions Union in Geneva. Countries are grouped into large geographical zones: North America is 1; Africa, 2; Europe, 3-4; South America, 5; South Pacific, 6; U.S. S. R. 7; North Pacific, 8; Asia,9. The first digit in a country’s code number is the num ber of its zone. Argentina for example, has the number 54; Venezuela, 58. Dial 33 for France Americans may be able to dial Europe directly as early as 1968. For France, they will dial 33; for the United Kingdom, 44. Intercontinental dial ing will entail the use of 13 to 15 digits. They will include: (1) The world access code number which connects the telephoner to his own country’s international exchange two or three digits. (2) The number of the country he wishes to dial—one two, or three digits. (3) The single trunk number within that .country. (4) The number of the individual subscriber he is calling. This number, combined with the trunk number, will have 10 digits at most. Postoffice Gives ' Xmas Mailing Tips Postmaster, Thomas E.

This was an increase of 14 percent over the 2,130,100 cords reported the previous year, and. compares. with a 7 percent increase as reported for the entire South. This information was contained in a report entitled "Southern Pulpwood Pro ductlon, 1965," as prepared by the Southeastern and Southern Forest Experiment Stations in cooperation with the Southern Pulpwood Conservation Association. Virginia’s production of 2.4 million cords placed it 7th in rank in the South as compared with 8th position in 1964. It is exceeded by Georgia, with 6.2 million cords; Alabama, with 4.9; Florida, with 2.9; North Carolina, with 2.9; South Carolina, with 2.6; and Louisiana, with 2.5. The total of 30.8 million cords for all 12 southern states represents 63 percent of the (Nation’s total. Virginia’s production consisted of 2,094,200 cords of round pulpwood plus 326,800 cords of chips for wood residues. In 1964 the comparable volumes were 1,883,800 cords of round pulpwood and 246,300 cords o-f chips. This, the volume of round pulpwpod for 1965 Increased by 11 percent over that of the previous year, while the volume from chips Increased 33 percent. Of Virginia’s total production of round pulpwood, 1,423,972 cords of It was pine while 670,174 cords were hard wood. This represented a proportion of 68 percent to 32 percent in favor of pine-the same proportion that applied the previous year. On the basis of this report, the leading pulpwood produo. ing county In Virginia, by far, is Buckingham, with a total of 120,824 cords. In second place is Sussex, with 75,347 cords; followed by Brunswick, a close third, with 75,269. Others in the ten are Prince Edward, 66,795; Amelia, 62,936; Dinwiddle, 61,743; Rockbridge, 59,888; Appomattox, 58,731; Campbell, 57,156; and Amherst, 51,256. Every county in the State reported some pulpwood production, although Arlington, Buchanan, the former Elizabeth City, and Tazewell all reported 10 cords or less, !

Fincham Catfish Stocked In State Waters Approximately 75,000 channel catfish fry were stocked in various public fishing waters around the state during November, Game Commission Fish Division Chief R. G. Martin reports. The largest allotments went to Carvin's Cove and Occoquan Reservoirs. Several Game Commission lakes were included on the stocking list. The 2-3* catfish usdd for stocking were provided by the Charles City National Fish Hatchery and were distributed by Game Commission personnel and equipment. In newly stocked waters it has been found that the cats reach 1 1/2 pounds their first year, 3 pounds their second and 5 pounds their third. Growth is somewhat slower in waters with established fish populations. The state record channel, a 21 pound 8 ounce spec! men taken from Lake Brittle could not have been more than 8 years old. The Game Commission be gan experimenting with channel catfish stocking in 1958 and the effort has paid off handsomely, especially in state lakes. The channel cat's rapid growth rate allows It to reach a very desirable size in a year’s time. Competition with bass is thought to be negligible. Stocking efforts have been concentrated on lakes where the cats do not reproduce naturally. They require logs, rocks or under cut banks and rather turbid waters for successful spawning, conditions not usually found in state own ed lakes and water supply lakes which are usually located on small feeder streams Channel cats provide a sign) ficant part of the total weight af fish caught some state lakes where they have been stocked for several years.

Offenses Increase on Falsifying licenses : In the month of October the Division of Motor Vehicles has arrested twenty-two persons j throughout the state of Virginia for falsifying their appli cation for operator's license. X spokesman announced that this increase in the rate of arrests is the result of intensified field work by the Division to insure greater safety onour highways. It is expected that the intensified program will continue with an increase in tiie number of arrests resulting from use of the records of the Driver Registry Service of the Bureau of Public Roads in Washington. The Bureau of Public Roads has for a number of years maintained a National Driver Registry Service. Most state motor vehicle divisions participate in the registration service by sending reports of driving permits revoked for drunk driving or manslaughter Original issue operator permit records are also sent tc the Driver Registry Service. In Virginia, when an operator’s license is issued to an individual for the first time, tills individual’s name is sent to the registration service in Washington and compared with the record of all drivers from all states who have had permits revoked for either of the two reasons given. If the driver infact has made a material false statement he will be charged With falsifying his application for operator’s license. The question is asked on the application prepared by the Division of Motor Vehicles, *Hs8 your license or privilege to drive been suspended or revoked in this state or elsewhere?” Any driver who applies for an operator *8 license must certify that all information hi the application is true and correct. Had his permit been revoked anywhere and he answered the question affirma tively, Virginia would not issue a driver's permit to the individual. The Division of Motor Vehicles is concerned with removing from Virginia highways these people who have demonstrated that they are unsafe drivers. Under the Virginia statutes, had the violations occurred in Virginia or elsewhere, the driver would not have continued his privilege to drive in this state. Persons falsifying their application for operator's license are exercising a privilege to drive in Virginia to which they are not entitled. The Division Is working to eliminate this danger to the safety of our highways. The Division of Motor Vehicles is now rapidly making use of information from the •dfiver registration service of the Bureau of Public Roads to apprehend those persons who falsify their applications. Rapid action by the Division provides the citizens of Virginia with another important highway safety program. Mrs. Davis Hostess For Buffet, Bridge Mrs. George H.

Social Security Notes Are you going to get the full social security benefit to which you are entitled when you reach retirement age? How do you know you are? These benefits (provided you don’t elect to take "reduced benefits" prior to age 65) range from $44.00 to $135.90 per month for a retired or disabled wage earner. In future years the benefits will exceed $135.90 in many cases. A lot of folks think we base the amount of the benefit on the need of the family — others think we just arbitrarily set a figure. The way we must do it is set by law. . How much should you get. You can figure how much you will be entitled to by reading our free leaflet 855 — How to Estimate the Amount. This leaflet will also tell you how many work credits you need t , become eligible, and them- iner in which they may be ' rn ed. Of course, figuring your benefit won’t assure you of receiving the full benefit. Since benefits are based on average earnings, it is important that all 01 vnu' c . nings be on rec< a our individual social security account. For most of us — this need cause no alarm. There are, however, times when it is important to make sure that your wages have been properly reported. If you failed to give your employer your social security account number; if you did not give your employer your name as it is shown on the account number card; if he fails to send in wage reports or your number — then you may not be getting credit for all of your learnings. .This means that your wage record will not be complete and you may lose a part of your social security benefits when the time comes jto draw them. 1 How can you make sure your j employer has reported your I earnings? We have the answer for you in the form of a little post card, already addressed, which you may complete and mail to our accounting division— asking them for an accounting of your record. If it is incorrect, our office will help you establish your credits. It’s wise to check every two |or three years — and in this way you will know that your account is correct — that you’ll get the full benefit to (which you are entitled. The Winchester office is located at 20 S. Cameron St. If any of their free pamphlets are desired, just drop a card to the office stating what in- ! formation you desire. There is | never a charge for literature j or information from any social I security office. Remember by Susan Dodson Here comes the Christmas season! j With gay colors and smells, And presents wrapped and ribboned, > And tinsel on the tree. People tend to think of Christmas As only a time for giving. They forget that Christ, our Lord. Came to earth that day. Three Wise Men saw a new star And they sought out our Lord. These men brought presents to the Child And carried His memory back j with them. j The King wanted to kill the Child. When he heard He would one day be King. ! He thought the Wise Men meant King of the country. But they meant King of all { Kings! So when Christmas comes this winter Let’s remember the reason it comes.

Christmas Tree Legend Told The lights of the Christmas tree, most beautiful when reflected in the eyes of a child, will bring peace and joy to millions of homes again this season, as they have for centuries. But how did it begin? Why do we connect trees and lights with the birth of the Babe whom Christians consider the Messiah? There are several stories about the origin of the Christmas tree. People in Scandinavia once worshipped trees, and, explains World Book Encyclopedia, they made evergreen trees part of Christian festivals when they became Christians. One legend tells how the iirst Christmas tree was shown in a miracle to the English missionary Winfrid (later called Boniface). More :han 1,200 years ago, while traveling in what is now northern Germany, Winfrid found a group of heathens at an oak tree, about to sacrifice a child to the god Thor. Winfrid stopped the sacrifice and cut down the "blood oak." As the oak fell, according to the legend, a young fir tree appeared. Winfrid said the fir was the tree of life, representing Christ. The Germans probably were the first to decorate Christmas trees. They used stars, angels, toys, gilded nuts, and candies wrapped in bright .paper, and later added tinsel and lighted candles. Scandinavians at one time trimmed their trees with little flags. Now they also use cookies, apples, and guilded nuts. In the United States and Canada, homemade paper ornaments, candy canes, and strings of cranberries and pop corn were popular before the advent of shiny colored balls and strings of colored electric lights. Lights at Christmas represent Christ as the Light of the World. According to one story, Martin Luther put lights on his trees to represent the glory and beauty of the stars above Bethlehem on the night of Christ's birth. In the United States and Cana da, many churches hold candlelight services on Christmas Eve. People in Ireland, World Book says, leave a candle burning in the window. In The Netherlands, on the eve of Epiphany, young men carrv the Christmas star — actually, a lqntern containing lighted candles — ae they stroll through the streets singing hymns and carols. No matter what the origin, the tree ablaze with lights is something we remember from our earliest childhood... and something the very youngest children will begin to learn this Christmas.

Ordinary Warts Not Dangerous to Health Almost all of us have warts | at some time In our lives. Ordinary warts are not dangerous to health. About half of all warts eventually disappear even If untreated. In a new pamphlet the Ameri can Medical Association reports that a wart Is a viral Infection of the skin. It also 1 can be described as a viruscaused growth. Ordinary3 warts are not malignant and ! do not become so. 1 Adults are less likely to have 1 warts than children. This may 1 be the result of an acquired Immunization—a build-up of antibodies—that occurs as a person grows older. And, of course, some people never get warts, while others have dozens of warts covering extensive areas of the body. Warts are contagious. They can be transmitted from one person to another. Scratching or picking at warts sometimes causes them to spread. They can also be spread by shaving over them or by brushing and combing the hair if there are warts in the scalp. Warts can occur on any part of the skin, but most often appear on the hands, fingers and on the soles of the feet. Those on the soles—plantar warts— cause the most trouble. Because of the pressure of shoes and walking, they are pushed inward instead of bulging outward, sometimes causing sharp pain. Usually warts are treated medically only when they are tender or painful, when they interfere with functions of the body or when they are so locat ed as to be unattractive cosmetically. There are several methods of treatment. Your physician will select the best method for you, or possibly recommend a combination of mmmm'mwmwmm u~mru n w' CULPEPER BUILDING & SUPPLY CORP.

With any method, several treatments may be required. The least drastic method usually is tried first, especially with children. The spontaneous disappearance of warts has often been linked in literature with suggestion therapy. Tales of “witching* away of warts are hundreds of years old. Several Investigators are now doing research on warts. Much more knowledge is need ed to answer important questions about wart viruses.

The late historian Walter Prescott Webb called barbed wire the Industrial Revolution’s “greatest contribution to the economic conquest of the Great Plains". Supplies of wood and stone were meager on the prairies where crops needed protection against herds of half-wild cattle. Barbed wire was the answer to a farmer's prayer for fencing that was "pig tight, horse high, and bull strong". The origins of barbed wire became entangled in bitter patent fights, but historians agree that Joseph Glidden, a farmer of De Kalb, Illinois was the first successful manufacturer of barbed wire. Glidden, who was born in New Hampshire, patented his wire in 1874. With typical Yankee ingenuity, he adapted Washington THEATRE WASHINGTON, VA. Show Starts 7:15 p.nt.

In Texas, Gates laid the foundation for his flamboyant career as a plunger and speculator. Though Texans doubted that a little old wire fence could contain an ornery longhorn, Gates proved otherwise. "We'll give 'em a show," he told a friend. "Get the wildest damn cattle in Texas— corral 'em here with barbed wire and then let 'em try to get out. That'll show 'em. Ain’t a cowhand livin' won't go for that!* Gates built a demonstration corral in the heart of San Antonio. He told the curious crowd: "This is the finest fence In the world. Light as air. Stronger than whiskey. Cheaper than din. All steel and miles long. The cattle ain't bom that can get through He was right. Twenty-five of the .meanest Longhorns available exhausted themselves trying to break out of the barbed-wire corral. Before nightfall. Gates had sold hundreds of miles of "bob wire*. In 1874, 10,000 pounds of barbed wire were made and sold. Within six years,' the output had soared to 80,500, 000 pounds a year. Farmers accepted barbed wire more quickly than cattlemen, who complained that the ‘devil’s rope* was strangling their traditional open range.
