Reed, Area Manager for the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company, today announced his company's filing with the State Corporation Commission itfe plans to make available improved telephone services at lower rates for some 80,000 of its subscribers in outlying areas beginning January 1, 1967. Reed pointed out that many customers now subscribing to Individual and multi-party (2 and 4 party) service will benefit from the substantially lower band mileage charges particularly in the Culpeper area Since approximately 60% of its telephone subscribers are party line customers. Introduction of this new service improvement complies with the State Corporation |Commission's order of Deitember 29, 1965. During the past year C&P has been proceeding with the necessary engineering, ordering, and installation of central office equipment, wire, and other facilities to meet this major service improvement. Reed emphasized the fact that this major undertaking will require approximately three years to complete beginning January 1, and an expenditure in excess of $6 million over and above normal construction and maintenance costs. Already under way in the Culpeper area are such service improvements as a central office equipment addition in Sperryville and major underground cable expansions on the Sperryville Pike and Orange Road. Total costs of these and other projects alone amount to approximately $724,000. According to Reed, present mileage charges, which depend on how far the c&P telephone customer is located from the established “base replaced by four bands with a flat charge applying for each of the newly established bands. Customers are presently charged for each one-half mile they are situated from the base rate area. Under the new plan maximum band mileage charges will be $8.00 for an individual line. For a number of customers this will mean a savings of as much as $10.50 a month. Beginning in January c&P employees will contact the customers involved to determine what class of improved service they desire. Junior Firemen Sponsor Dance There will be a dance at Amissville fire hall on Saturday, December 17 from 8 p.m. until 12 midnight. Music will be by Robin and t h e Hoods.

The Extension Service office in Washington projected a Christmas card effect as the area's first snow fell Tuesday. The office door, handsomely decorated for Christmas, bids passersby a cheery welcome. Town Council Restricts Billboards The December meeting of the Town Council of Washington was routine except for the vote to restrict billboard advertising. This had never been a problem within the town limits until the County Board of Supervisors adopted a Zoning Code limiting the use of out of County billboard advertising. Since then two large ones have been erected. Members felt that if this was allowed to continue the Town would eventually develop into a billboard jungle.

Much of it melted as It fell on the ground which had been warmed by last week’s temperatures In the 70’s. Snow began falling about 8 a.m. and continued until 8 p. m. Schools were dismissed early Tuesday afternoon and were closed Wednesday. Two traffic accidents occurred because of slippery roads Tuesday before the snow ceased. Mrs. Brooksie Bradley of Missouri sustained an arm injury when the 66 Volks* wage* to which she was a passenger with her husband overturned on Route 231 six miles south of Sperryville. According to Trooper J. B. I Willis the car skidded in the snow and turned over. It was declared a total loss. The Bradleys were enroute to New York. In Flint Hill on Route 522 Mrs. Annie A. Cooke of Amissville, operating a 65 Chevrolet, skidded in the snow and struck a 64 International pick up parked on the street. The truck was owned by Robert Clatterbuck of Flint Hill.

Shooting Match At Castleton A ham and turkey shooting match will be held at the Castle ton Community fire house on Saturday afternoon, Dec. 17 beginning at 1 p. m. Children Burned In Auto Fire Two Sperryville children were burned severely Saturday when the car in which they were sitting on the Safeway parking lot in Culpeper caught fire. Gregory Allen Bright, son of Mr. and Mrs. Claude Bright, sustained second degree burns over 14 percent'of his body and is a patient in the University of Virginia Hospital, Charlottesville. He is five years old. Gary Lee Bright, three, a brother to Gregory, was treated for burns at Culpeper Memorial Hospital and released. The children apparently had been playing with matches as they waited in the car for their mother and grandmother who were in the store shopping, said an officer. An Arlington woman driving north on Main Street discovered the blaze, stopped and rescued the children. Safeway employees with fire extinguishers brought the blaze under control until Culpeper firemen responded. How ever, the vehicle was destroyed. The Arlington woman went on her way before she could be identified. Gregory was given first aid on the scene by Mrs. Cecil Finney, a registered nurse and wife of a local doctor. He was given emergency treatment at the Culpeper hospital and transferred to Charlottesville.

The other, an away game played against Broadway on December 9 finished up with Broadway 82 and Rappahannock 42. Though our boys played hard and well in both games the obstacles of height and weight presented by the other teams were too difficult to overcome. These have not discouraged us.

See that toys are picked up and not left near stairs or where someone could easily fall over them; have decorations fire-proof and away from sources of direct heat; in addition be especially careful with your Christmas tree. Extension specialists give the following rules on how to make your Christmas tree safe and a recipe for making your tree, and other greenery flame-resistant. 1. Buy a fresh tree. If you cannot find a fresh, moist tree, give the tree you buy the flame resisting treatment described below. A dry tree is inflammable even before it gets to the shattering stage, and it cannot absorb enough water to make it safe. 2. As soon as you bring the tree home, saw 2 inches off of the butt end, so it will absorb water and stay fresh. Put the tree in water and keep it in water until you discard it. Check water level daily. 3. Keep the tree in a cool, - - -ss_1 Red Croft Wants Of Yule Pitfalls The tree had been in die house for eleven days. Christmas had come and gone, tat tinsel and dusty gewgaws still drooped sadly from brittle branches that showered green needles whenever someone brushed by too closely. In deference to a powerful protest group within the Jenkins family (the Jenkins kids). Mom and Dad Jenkins had allowed the tree to remain standing too long In the living room. The urge to preserve the holiday exacdy as it had been on Christmas morning was natural enoutth In the chlT dren, who would have left the tree up until George Washington's Birthday, but even so, Dad should have taken the hard line. All he said each evening was: “Tomorrow that mess is coming down!* Too bad. Had Dad backed his promises with action, his house might be standing today. It burned to the ground on a frigid January night when Uncle Slim lit his pipe too vehemently while standing next to the tree. The tree went up so quickly it was practically an explosion. Dad made two mistake^, really. First, he procrastinated. Second, he failed to keep the tree stump immersed In water, and the tree dried out twice as fast as it should have. Even when cut off from the roots, trees still have the power to draw water up into their extremities, especially if the stump has been sawed evenly, so that the end is flat. Thus they retain more moisture and will not burn readily. But a pine or spruce tree denied water is like a loaded shotgun in the playroom: It's only a question of time. The calamity just described is but one of the unpleasant things that can happen this time of year, according to Safety Services area director Howard E. Camp, Jr., of the American Red Cross, Eastern Area. We can make the American home less of an accident zone this Christmas if we observe a few simple precautions/ Mr. Camp said in his Eastern Area Headquarters Office, Alexandria, Virginia. "For example, we should begin our safety checks at least two weeks before December 25 by examining last year's trqe ornaments and outdoor ltghtv ing. We should buy children's toys that are safe and suitable for the children’s age. We should anticipate the visits of relatives and friends who may encounter ice on our front walk." Mr. Camp said that safety was a mixture of one part education, one part mental alertness, one part consideration of others and one part plain sense. He offered the following suggestions to help make Christmass 1966 a safe one, and added that some of them could apply to the rest of the winter as well: 1. If you're in a tree lot downtown, selecting a tree that Mother Nature created (rather than a synthetic one), check closely its condition. Is it dry? Rub the needles. Do some fall off? Is the trunk cut flat? How long has the tree been in the lot? 2. If you’re going to store the tree in your garage before setting it up inside, keep the stump immersed in water. 3. Are last year’s decorations safe? Are any ornaments shady place until you decorate it. It’s best to buy close to decorating time. Here’s how to make trees, wreaths, and greens flameresistant: To 3 quarts of water add 1 pound of borax from the grocery store and 1 pound of ammonium chloride from the drug store.. Mix until ingredients are dissolved. Spray this solution on the tree until all branches are well moistened. A spray bottle from your cleaning supply shelf will do the job. Safety is simple if you practice these rules.

If the wiring insulation for the tree bulbs is frayed or cracked, better repair the wiring or get rid of it. 4. If you are buying new wiring, make sure it carries a UL (Underwriters Laboratories) seal of approval. 5. Don't overload your elec, trical circuits by attaching an extension plug into your wall receptacle, thus multiplying the outlets to accommodate extra lighting for the tree or other Christmas decorations. 6. Use outdoor bulbs and wiring for outdoor decorations. Keep indoor bulbs and wiring inside. 7. Use caution in decorating the tree. Don't attempt to place the last star on top if you have to stretch dangerous ly. Wait for adequate manpower and or a sturdy stepladder. Have someone hold the stepladder while you are on it. 8. Is your fireplace safe? Is there adequate draft in the chimney? (no soot) Will you use a fire screen in front to catch sparks and prevent toddlers from venturing too close? (Yes, you will.) Place no tinsel or combustible decorations over or near the fireplace. v 9. Have you considered the safety aspect of selecting children’s toys? Are the electrical ones UL approved? Would you buy a power^drill for a boy eight years ora? (No, you wouldn't.) 10. Does your consideration of others extend to Yuletide visitors? Of course it does, and you have made sure your front walk is free of ice and snow. Use rock salt, deicer, or a shovel. Caution! Shovel a few scoops at a time; then rest. Don't overexert. In short, says Mr. Camp: Practice safety and common sense-and you will live to enjoy many Christmases to come." “We had a lot of requests for Color Phones last year...

Single Men Plentiful r In Co. Report Says Rappahannock County shapes up as a happy hunting ground for marrlage^-mihded gals. Bachelors abound In the local area. By official count, there are 167 of them parading around loose for every 100 single women. Elsewhere in the United States, the margin is 124 to 100 and, in the State of Virginia, 139 to 100. The findings, covering the entire country, were compiled by the Department of Commerce. They show' that the proportion of bachelors to single women is much greater ip some areas than in others. In many communities, the surplus is in the other direction. Of Rappahannock County's male population over age 14, 33.5 percent have never been married, the figures show. Of the female population over 14, the percentage single is 21.3. By “single" is meant never married. Divorced and widowed pdople are not Included. *y .Throughout- the United States as a whole, 25.1 percent of the male population oyer 14 is listed as single arid 19.1 percent of the female. The normal number of unmarried people in the local area and in other communities is being swelled now because the huge crop of postwar babies is reaching marriageable age. As pointed out by two officials of the census Bureau, Paul C. Click and Robert Parke, Jr., this situation is creating a problem far wouldbe brides. Because so many are reaching marriageable age at this time, there are not enough men available in the group twoyears older than themselves— the ones they normally marry-- to go around. The figures show that, in Rappahannock County, no less than 291 girls will be In the 17 to 21 age group next year. Many local boys, also, will be reaching that age bracket, 299 of them.

ASCS Co. Committee Orientation Meeting The 1967 County Committee Orientation Meeting was held in Luray Decetqher 7, 1966. Leading farmer? from nineteen counties in this area in Virginia met with State officials of the Agricultural Stabilization and conservation Service (ASCS) to review farm action programs they administer, and to map plans for the year ahead. H. S. Barksdale, Chairman; D. D. Miller, Vice Chairman; R. E. Wood, Regular Member; and Jame6 W. Coates, County Office Manager, attended from Rappahannock County. The occasion was to orient new committeemen, who took office November 1, and to discuss with all committeemen the multiple ASCS operations for which they are responsible in the 1967 program year. In the morning session, the group heard W. T. Powers, ASCS State Executive Director, trace through farm legislation and actions which, over thirty-odd years, have developed into the varied and complex ASCS programs that vitally affect so many millions of farmers today. Powers pointed to farm programs in recent years which have effected national economies by taking vast acreages out of production - corn, wheat, tobacco, and cotton - and at the same time maintained farm income at a reasonable level. Following a series of slides and a movie on committeeman duties narrated by Horace Godfrey, ASCS Administrator, a committeeman from Clark County, Arthur D. Weiss discussed the part he played in the administration of farm programs in his county. After lunch, James E. Warren, Chairman, State Committee, spoke on the importance of maintaining a close relationship between committees at the State and county levels to assure orderly opera tions that will result in maximum program benefits to farmers. Another movie featured Secretary of Agriculture Orville Freeman discussing a "New Role in Agriculture". The Secretary praised the ASCS Committee system for its part in gains achieved under various commodity programs and for accomplishment of goals sought by farm legislation of recent years. Mr. warren recognized com mitteemen who were recently reelected to office and presented portfolios to new committeemen. Mr. Thomas B. Fugate, State Committeeman, closed the meeting by projecting an “Outlook for 1967“ which was a challenge to the group to carry forward the work of county committees before them toward the realization of ASCS goals set for conservation and production adjustment.

There are 12,975 cases of tuberculosis under supervision today in Virginia. .There were 2,186 newly reported cases in Virginia in 1965. These are statistics published in a recent booklet entitled "United States and Virginia - Reported Tuberculosis Data in 1965, published by Virginia Tuberculosis and Respiratory Disease Association, using facts from the U. S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare, Public Health Service, the Virginia Department of Health, and as sociation records. Why do these conditions exist in our state? Henry A. Lowry, President of the Tuberculosis and Health Association of Northern Virginia stated “We have the drugs and all other tools to carry on an active program against T. B. But, is the public educated to combat TB? Perhaps, we just don't understand the problem,* Mr. Lowry went on to say. “The major problem with TB is one of finding cases. This means there needs to be concern on the part of each adult to have a chest X-ray and his children tuberculin tested. Part of the TB association’s program is directed toward educating the public to be concerned about health problems before they become problems, Mr. Lowry continued. Mrs. Gladys L. Harris, Executive Director, stated that each year the Association distributes health education materials to the physicians, schools, nurses and to the general publid. In order to continue an educational program it is necessary to have a successful Christmas Seal Campaign in the area, she said. The most popular item with teachers and children is the Health Adventure publication, geared to the reading level of pupils in the first six grades. Seven months a year different health habits are stressed in story, picture and puzzle format. A total of 163,450 are distributed during a school year in the eight counties served by this association.

Snow Inspires Mixed Emotions Washington—Nature’s quick change artist — snow — dazz les the eye, delights farmers. Inspires poets, and unnerves suburbanites. Snow generally is formed by water vapor that crystallizes directly into ice from gas without becoming liquid, the National Geographic Society 8ays. Condensation takes place on a tifty particle or nucleus. If these ice crystals pick up enough moisture in the atmosphere, further condensation occurs, and they become snow crystals.

Some flakes reach four Inches In diameter. Snowflakes are shaped by variations In temperature and humidity. The designs can be austerely simple or fantastically complex. Most take a symmetrical form. The ancient Chinese poet-scholar Han Ying observed; 'Most of the flowers have five petals, but only snow crystals have six.” Snow changes Its structure on touching the ground. The flakes of crystalline or semicrystalline ice usually transform themselves Into comparatively shapeless masses. On a clear, crisp day, the Jumbled ice crystals In newfallen sno.w produce a dazzling light. Acting as prisms, the crystals bend light to produce all the colors of the spectrum? Since the crystals are mixeu, the colored rays emergefrom many sides and directions. Every state, including Hawaii,, gets some snow. In the agricultural West, a deep snowfall is like white gofd. Snow provides water for irrigation, drinking, and power. From January to May, sqo.w surveyors trudge through white drifts piled on high western mountains. Th^y measure the snow's depth and moisture content to estimate the amount of water that will flow into valleys in spring and summer. . Snow measurements are regarded as an essential part of agricultural planning. For instance, farmers on a 70,000 acre tract in central Idaho saved an estimated $300,000 in two years by matching crop acreage to the expected wat£r supply. ; ; | In the metropolitan East, however, a snowfall can be unbelievably expensive. Snow paralyzes traffic, disrupts communications, isolates sub urbs, and closes schools. The great storms in January, 1966 cost one city—the Nation's Capital — almost a million dollars. The urbanite s headache i6 the poet’s muse. The American classic “Snowbound," writ ten exactly a century ago 6y John Greenleaf Whittier, idefcl izes a rustic environment long since vanquished by modern technology.

Godwin, Jr., made it official in a recent proclamation in which he certified that the name of the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Immigration was now changed to the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Commerce. The name change was approved in a state-wide referendum on November 8, but complete results of the balloting could not be determined until the State Board of Elections tabulated and certified the results to the Governor. Upon receiv ing results of the official canvass, Governor Godwin then proclaimed that the referendum had passed by 388,009 to 118,484 votes and that the name of the agency was now the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Commerce. The state-wide referendum was necessary to change VDA’s name because the State Constitution, which carried the department’s old name, had to be amended. Since a change in the State Constitution was involved in up-dating VDA’s name, the procedure was long and complex. taking over three years to complete. Realizing that Immigration as a part of the department's name was a complete misnoner and no longer applicable to any present day functions of VDA, the State Board of Agriculture in 1963 passed a resolution asking the General Assembly to change the department’s name. Approval was necessary from two regular sessions of the legislature, and this was granted at both the 1964 and 1966 sessions. This action paved the way for the final public approw al at the November 8 referendum. The Virginia Department of Agriculture and Commerce now believes it has a name befitting its present role in a modern and changing statea name that will show better the functions of the department, plus the relationship of agriculture and commerce to our total economy. Modified Life Insur. Offered Veterans In the past year the Veterans Administration has received 90,000 applications from veterans asking that their term GI policies be converted to the new Modified Life Plan of insurance. Modified Life offers stable premium rates lower than those for any other permanent plan of VA insurance. For example, the Ordinary Life rate at age 40' in the "V” program for $10,000 of insurance is $251 annually. The Modified Life rate at the same age in this program is $125.50. The basic reason for the new Modified Life policy is to provide a plan of insurance which has a lower premium than Ordinary Life, thereby making it financially easier for a term policy holder to convert to level premium permanent type insurance. The Modified Life policy is a specially designed (Contract which, for each $1,000 unit, provides $1,000 of Insurance coverage to age 65 and $500 coverage thereafter. In other words, the face value of the policy is automatically cut in half at age 65. This is why the premium rate is much lower than for Ordinary Life. The reduced coverage at age 65 comes at a time when a man’s family responsibility by actuarial standards is usual ly reduced. If he decides later he does not want reduced pro tection, he has the option prior to age 65 of applying, with out medical examination, for an additional amount of Insurance on the Ordinary Life Plan up to an amount equal to the reduction in the Modified Life policy. Modified Life policies have cash values after the first policy year. Edward M. Mathews, of the From 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 4:00 p.m. and will gladly give more details on this subject or any other matter connected with veteran’s affairs. • jA.

Social Security Notes Now that almost everyone who is over 65 has signed up for medicare, there are some questions in the minds of people who are approaching age 65 about who is eligible and the proper time to enroll said Mrs. Hazel F. Daly, District Manager of the Social Security Office in Winchester. Some working people are under the impression they must retire in order to qualify for medicare. Others think they won't qualify because they have not worked under social security. i iiid kimply is not true, notea Mrs. Daly. Almost everyone becomes eligible for medicare at age 65, but they must enroll during the proper period. Enrollment for the medical insurance portion of medicare can be accomplished during a special seven month period. This period includes the three months before the month a person reaches age 65, the month he becomes 65 and the three months after he is 65. If a person fails to enroll during this period, be air like will not have another opportunity until October 1967. In addition, said Mrs. Daly, unless this person enrolls during the first three of these seven months, his protection cannot begin when be is first eligible the month he is 65. We can pay some retroactive fits under , the hospital portion of medicare Mrs. Daly; continued, but not under the medical Insurance portion. This makes it doubly important for everyone to visit our office before his 65th birthday. Regarding those who are still working, Mrs. Daly noted that many have been pleasantly surprised to find they were eligible not only for medicare but to cash benefits under social security also. The 1965 Amend ments to the Social Security Act gave a liberal increase to the amount a person may earn and still receive social security benefits.

CHRISTMAS AROUND THE WORLD 4 Skiing down a mountain with a lighted torch in your hand ... strewing hay on the floor of your home...knocking on neighbor’s doors in a symbolic pilgrimage — these are some of the ways you might find yourself celebrating Christmas in other parts of the world. In token of Christ’s birth in a manger, Poles spread hay on the floor and Lithuanians have straw under the tablecloth at their festive Christmas Eve meal. The colorful Mexican posada or pilgrimage dramatizes the search which led Mary and Joseph to the stable. For each of the nine nights before Christmas, a couple dressed as Mary and Joseph goes from house to house. Only at the last house are they — and the parade of neighbors which is now following them — invited in for supper. An even more novel procession may be seen in the mountains of Austria. Here wood carvers from the little town of Oberammergau meet on Christmas Eve and ski down the mountain slopes with flaming torches in their hands, singing as they go! Read the Want Ads! It Pays!

The French reveillon, a feast which occurs after midnight mass, is apt to feature oysters and sausages; in the French province of Brittany, buckwheat cakes with sour cream are served. The Norwegian Christmas dinner features a fish called lutfisk. In America, of course, everyone looks forward to the traditional turkey dinner on Christmas day. In the case of many families, Wild Turkey Bourbon in glasses—eight years old and 101 proof—next to domestic turkey on the plotter, helps them round out the picture of hospitality with good taste and imagination..^ t One of the most Tharming of Christmas rituals is the feast of St. Lucia in Sweden— which ushers in the Christmas season.

Department of Agriculture has announced. The dealer is ferown Lovett, 811 S. Braddoclf St., Winchester, USDA’s Consumer and Marketing Service said. The complairtt was Issued by the Packer* and Stockyards Division' of the Consumer and Marietlng Service. Lovett will have an opportunity for a fqrmal hearing on the charges. After the hearings, the USDA Judicial Officer will determine whethjer the evidence supports the charges. The complaint charges that Lovett continued to operate as a livestock dealer after his surety bond was terminated by the bonding company. It also charges that Lovett was notiflfied in writing of the termination and was informed that he must obtain a new bond to continue his operations, but failed to obtain the new bond while continuing to buy and sell livestock as a dealer. The p&S Act—a federal statute which regulates those engaged in interstate livestock and poultry marketing and meat packing—prohibits unfair, deceptive, discriminatory and monopolistic marketing practices.
