As always, the Rappahannock Poiiy-to-Point will offereight races, including the colorful Fox Hound Race. v The card this year calls for two races on the flat, with all others over timber. The Ben Venue for gentlemen will prove once more the most exciting race of the day.

New Closing Date for Feed Grain Program The wheat and feed grain program signup period has been modified for Virginia counties according to James E. Warren, Chairman of the State ASC Committee. The new closing date for enrollment in these programs is March 17, 1967. The previous closing date was March 3. The State committee hasdetermined that a signup period from February 6 to March 17, 1967 will insure that all farmers have an opportunity to discuss the program with , ASC county office people before making up their minds about taking part. Signup is the essential first step toward participation in a farm program. No further extension is anticipated for adverse weather or other reasons; therefore, farmers are encouraged not to wait until the last minute to enroll. The final date of March 3 to sign up in the Cropland Adjustment Program was not changed in view of the fact that present requests under this program generally have already exceeded available funds. The hound race will climax the day, bringing the Pointto-Point to an end. This race is open to all hound owners in Rappahannock Hunt territory and/or members of the Northern Virginia Foxhunters Association. Owners interested in entering horses in tr^e Point-td^Point should contact the race* secretary, Mrs. Anthony Slewka.

Over the years many individual game and fish regulations have been added and changed, resulting in some duplication and poor organiza tion that have made them difficult for even our professional law enforcement people to interpret. The new format will be similar to that used in the Code of Virginia and will be designed to absorb future changes in a systematic manner. To satisfy legal require - ments prescribed by the General Assembly, copies of these revised regulations will be available from the Commission Richmond office in addition to those posted at Court Houses. A public meeting will be held in Richmond at 10 a.m., February 18, for the specific purpose of hearing any objections from the public regarding the new format of the regulations. The Commission will not consider any suggestions to change the corr tent of any regulations at this time. Discussion will be limit ed entirely to details of word ing and arrangement of the revised regulations. Following official proposal of the newly worded regulations at the February 18 meet ing, the new format will be adopted in its entirety at the annual game regulation meeting sometime in March. New game regulations will not be discussed at the February meeting. Parents and teachers visiting night was held at Washington Elementary School Monday.

Have family incomes increased sufficiently to enable local residents to live better than they did a decade ago? A study completed by the Tax Foundation shows just how much more income a family must have these days to stay even with where it was in 1956 If its earning capacity was $3,000 at that time, it needs $3,655 now -- 21.8 percent more — to maintain its way of life. The $5,000-a-year family of other days must receive $5,894, or 17.9 percent more to equalize. I me q>iu,uuu iamiiy must have $11,764, an increase of 17.6 percent, to be as well off as before. In Rappahannock County, according to data compiled by the Standard Rate and Data Service, most families have more than made up for the inroads caused by higher prices and bigger taxes and are living in bet|pr style than they did previously. The average net income locally rose from $2,796 per family ten years ago to $5,272 in the past year. It amounted to an increase of 88.6 percent, which is considerably more than the Loss suffered through inflation. Elsewhere in the United States, there was a 40.1 percent gain in the period. In the State of Virginia, the rise was 40.2 percent. As for the current year, further gains in income will be needed, both for the working man and for his employer, if their purchasing power is to [be maintained at its present level. i As 1967 got under way, they were faced with bigger social isecurity taxes, further inflaItion and a possible increase in Federal income taxes. : Also under Tax Foundation [scrutiny in< the study were [state and local taxes and the extent to which they have grown in recent years. ! In the State of Virginia, these [taxes have climbed from ! $ 128 per capita to $188 per [capita in a period of eight [years, it finds. The rise was [47 percent. In other states, the increases ranged from a low of 37 percent, in Oregon, to a high of 119 percent, in Delaware.

Some you will note are repeats from January. Oranges will head the list of plentiful again and other abundant foods will be grapefruit, pork, eggs, canned salmon, dry beans and green split peas. Salmon as listed will be a good buy with the pink being less expensive than red salmon. Both are equal in nutritional quality and are excellent sources, of protein so include a salmon dish in your meals during the month. ************ We all realize the important role pesticides play in our lives today -- or do we? Without them it would be impossible to grow commercially acceptable fruits, vegetables, jmeats and dairy products; nearly impossible to check the spread of many diseases as they are our most effective weapon against mosquitoes and flies; and without them there would be more hoeing and digging of weeds and picking off bugs that most of us don’t want to think about. Pesticides are chemicals used by all to control undesirable | plants, diseases, insects or! rodents. To be of help to us| we must follow directions and | use them only as directed on the container. Safety precautions need to be followed if pesticides are to benefit us as they should.

Clarence Wagener of Sperry /ille died in Washington last Wednesday from a heart at- , :ack. After being treated at the Washington Medical Center for an infected ear he collapsed and was rushed to another hospital where he was dead on arrival. Coming to Sperryville in 1963 Mr. Wagener bought a building plot atop a-lovely hill with inspiring views of the Blue Ridge. On this plot he: built a charming little home and furnished it in good taste in keeping with his large and treasured library, antiques and mementoes of his journalistic days. During his three years in this community Mr. Wagener made many friends with whom he leaves pleasant memories. He had a keen mind, a warm heart and a helpful hand. His kind" and gentle spirit touched and enriched many lives, both young and old. His well-attended garden furnished fresh vegetables for his neighbors and his “drop in" „visits, usually with a small gift, will be missed by those who had the privilege of enjoying them. Mr. Wagener was widely traveled, interested in people, the best books, good music and the world in general. Born in Manassas, he graduated from the University of Virginia and lived and worked in various places including Baltimore, Florida and California. Clarence Wagener was a man of compassion who behaved like a Christian, although, unfortunately, not active in any church during recent years. In earlier days he was instrumental in organizing Sunday Schools and at the time of his death was supporting a Chinese orphan boy. This man’s passing is a distinct loss to Rappahannock and Culpeper where he counted numerous friends and admirers. Sidney E. and Lily B. Hening I Wood Industry Has Impact in Virginia Most anywhere you travel in Virginia, you find pulpwood trucks. Each truck represents $25,000 of purchasing power in that community each year, says W. A. McElfresh of the forestry department at Virginia Tech. This information and more is contained in a new publication, “Impact on a Commonwealth," that tells the story of Virginia’s pulp and paper for the domestic and world market. Pulp results when wood is cooked into small f ibers. These fibers are reassembled into paper. Fifty-eight professional foresters are employed by pulp and paper industries in Virginia. Many other foresters in the Virginia Di vision of Forestry, consulting forester organizations, Cooperative Extension Service and the U. S. Forest Service help manage Virginia’s forests. Sixty-five percent of the state is forested. These forests produce the raw ma:erial used by the pulp and paper industry, v McElfresh says more than 80 percent of the pulpwood bought in Virginia comes from small woodland owners and returns more than $40 million to the owners and communities involved in growing, harvesting and marketing pulpwood. This means full- time jobs for 5,400 persons working in the wooCH^ Many others are part-time ptApjvood producers. In the paper (pills are 12,000 men and womdn employed full time to keep the paper industry in operation. They earn $69 million each year. Many other people supply various kinds of fuel, chemicals and services needed by these large industries. Additional personnel transport the raw product to the mill and the finished product to the public. McElfresh says, “Statewide pulp and paper industries are really important when we con sider their $100 million impact on Virginia's economy annually. And, you can seethe use of paper all around you. About 500 pounds of paper per person are used each year in the U, SI to make our lives eastpr amd more enjoyable.-* Last year one paper company even introduced paper fabric to' the clothing market—almost as a joke1 As it turned out, it became a growing business item for the company. Paper clothing has been laughed about for some time, but as this year’s King William County forestry banquet 4-H members showed suits and dresses made of paper. These clothes may be dry cleaned and used over a long period. Cheaper paper clothing may be purchased for use several times before dis carding.

Many people don’t realize two important things aboui measles: First, it’s a crippler anc killer. Measles strikes millions of children, but the ones left with deafness or menta: defects or encephalitis — or even the ones who dieseem to be forgotten by the public. Measles isn’t at all £ funny disease; it’s one whose tragedy isn’t fully realized Second, measles could be eliminated as a major healtl threat. Some medical officials believe it could be eradicated in this country wit! in a year. There’s no doub that it should be. Several types of anti-measles vaccine are available. They are easily ac ministered by your physiciar and have been proven safe anc effective. M e a s 1 e s-susceptible chi: dren can be. immunized bj their family’s physician. The best time is when they are approximately one year old Older susceptible childrenthose who have neither hac measles nor been given mes sles vaccine--should be immunized as soon as possible particularly if they are o school age. In some communities, anc in the states of Rhode Islanc and Delaware, measles has been practically eliminated b} concerted, areawide immuni: ation campaigns. Such campaigns have beer endorsed by the AMA's Cour cil on Environmental and Pul lie Health, but their organize tion requires the counsel o: the local medical society anc close coperation by the community’s civic, education, anc health organizations. Loca! physicians are in a positior to determine the best way tc conduct an immunization cam paign in this community. The most important step is to ensure that your own children are protected from measles. If they have not beer immunized, have it done now.

All producers who sold 25 or more! feeder pigs or slaughter hbgs : in 1966 are eligible to vote.The program proposes a five cents per head deduction on sale of slaughter hogs and two I cents per head deduction on feeder pigs sold. The money would go into a Pork Industry Fund, administered by a Pork Industry Commission appoint ed by the Governor. This commission would consist of 12 members, at least seven of whom must be pork producers. The commission would make the decisions regarding expenditure of the money for swine research and education and promotion of pork. The pressing production problems of pork producers in Virginia would receive primary attention. . ' : < Qualified producers should! obtain a certification form,; sign and return it to the Virginia Department of Agriculture in Richmond no later than March 1. The Department of Agriculture will prepare certified! voter lists and mail ballots by April 1 for his vote to count. If a simple majority approves the program, the deductions will be made by the first handler of the animals being sold—such as livestock auction markets and packer; buying stations.

It is said, ‘New knowledge is a basic requirement in doing a better job in today’s complex and changing agriculture. The Virginia Swine Self-Help Program would make possible an expanded research and development pro gram for pork producers. “Such a program would enable producers to more readily obtain research solutions to many pressing problems, such as controlling diseases, improving reproductive performance, lowering feed costs improving marketing and solv ing swine management problems. As a producer, one should help by qualifying and voting in this important referendum.” Detailed explanations will be made at a meeting of swine producers of this area on Feb. 9 at Second National Bank in Culpeper at 7-.30 p. m.

The Montpelier and Golden Horseshoe Chapters of the Daughters of the American Revolution are joining nearly 3000 DAR chapters in the 50 states, the District of Columbia and the Canal Zone in calling special attention to this month. In recognition of the occa1 slon the twp local aroa^chapters have proviced this series of articles about highlights of American History. , The President’s Proclamation s Our nation’6 history is far more than a mere record of long ago events. For it is only through knowing and understanding the sources of our common heritage that we become aware of ourselves as being, in truth, one people. Law or Government alone could never bind two hundred million Americans together in common citizenship. This can only be the result of shared dreams, of common-convictions, of the sense of kinship and fraternity which comes from a deep appreciation of our people’s history. Nor is that history merely a chronical of battles won or lost: it is the sum of/all our art and science,jour philosophy and politics, our religion and our law. It is all these woven together which make up the fabric of Amerik Can life as we see it and live it today. Finally, it is through the 1 study of history that present generations caq best honor out debt to the wisdom, faith and sacrifice of those who came before us. i In recognition of this, the Congress by a joint resolu;tion approved November 5, 1966, has designated February 1967 as American History 'Month and has requested the President to issue a proclamation inviting the people of the United States to observe that month with’appro priate ceremonies. I am proud ,to honor that request. Now, therefore, I, Lyndon B. Johnson, President of the United States of America, invite the people of the United States to observe February 1967 a6 American History Month w<fh appropriate ceremonies and related activities i n our educational, civic fraternal and patriotic organizations and in other suit able places. In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the United States of America to be affixed.

New Way To Claim Gas Tax Credit J Farmers will lose any Federal gas and lubricating oil tax credit if their income tax returns are not filed on time, District Director James P. Boyle, said today. i Mr. Boyle said that farmers Jwho use gas in their farming operations and lubricating oil other than in a highway motor vehicle are entitled to the credit. It amounts to 4c for every gallon of gas and 6c for every gallon of lubricating oil so used. Power boat owners and other users of gas and oil for nonhighway purposes are also entitled to credit. Their credit is 2c a gallon on gas and 6c on lubricating oil. Form 4136, Compution of Credit for Federal Tax on Gasoline and Lubricating Oil, should be used to compute the credit and should be attached to their income tax returns. Before this year, non-highway users of gas had to file a separate claim for a refund of the Federal Gas Tax Paid. Now they take a credit on their tax returns against the amount of income tax otherwise owing. The law also provides that the user may file a claim for refund for any of the first three quarters of his tax year if his claim amounts to $1000 or more for such quarter. For purposes or the $1000 test, the claims for gas and lubricating oil must be computed separately.

Not too long ago, a grocery store was pretty much a market. The clerks gave advice on buying. The butchers helped you choose your meats for that special occasion or purpose. Much of the processing was done in the store. You got credit, delivery and similar services. In other words, the store was a* market in which many of the marketing services and jobs were performed. Instead of a one-stop shopping center, it served more nearly as a one-stop market system. To a large extent, this has changed. A grocery store today serves largely as a storehouse and distribution center. It is a place where you go to look over thousands of items and pick out 25 - 30 you happen to want or need today or this week. Generally speaking, your buying decisions are pretty much made before you get into the store. Whether this is good or bad is a matter of opinion. The opinion you have or that I have depends on what we have been accustomed to, on what we want, and on what we are willing to pay for. Seemingly most of us miss the grocery market enough to speak quite fondly about it, but we don’t miss it enough that many of us go to those markets which still exist. f Seemingly we are going to move more and more in the direction of storehousing, or a grocery store being primarily a distribution point. Recently I listened to a gentle fnan who has spent much of his life studying our food industry discuss this. Here are some, of, the things he saw for grocery stores of the future. Notice how they emphasize the distribution or storehouse approach. One thing he predicted was virtual elimination of grocery meat rooms. Practically all cutting and wrapping would be done elsewhere. The grocery store itself would be just a storehouse and distribution point. No longer would we have a full time butcher to fix special cuts for us or to answer involved technical meaty questions. Then, he foresaw a future filled with automatic ordering, billing and delivery. You walk through the store, push buttons to order (using a customer'number or bill head), walk" to a pay (or charge) station and settle the bill, and walk out to find your order already packed and ready for you to load into your car. It is entirely possible this may happen. So, we have moved far toward a grocery store being mostly a storehouse. The chances are good we will move much further in this direction, Deeds Recorded Edward M. Dorland to Ernie] Smet 61.09 acres, Stonewall District. Oscar Lindgren to Chester 1W.

Minimum Wage ^ For Farm Labor/ Many Virginia farmers will be required to pay a $1.00 per hour for much of the labor they will uete because of the new minimuiti wage law which ibegins February I, 1967. The [ basic td6t of whether or not a farmer is covered under the law, depends upon whether the farmer has used 500 man days or more in any calendar ,quarter in 1966. Members of he immediate family and hand ( larvest labor should not be ' considered in making this de- . ermination. Sharecroppers could be considered as hired lands unless they make all lasic managerial decisions. It is very important that armers who hire 6 to 8 inlividuals keep complete and t iccurate farm labor records, rhese records should include: employees full name and address; time each employee starts and finishes; and total aours worked in each week. rtK' record should also indi:a. on what basis wages are paid, including type of deductions from weekly earnings and date and amount of payment. This new act specifies that for a farmer to be covered he must have used 500 man days of labor in any onqauarter in the preceding caT5rtd«ryear. A “man day" is defined as any day during any portion of which an employee performs any agricultural labor (including Saturdays and Sundays).

There’s still a lot of feeline that a film actor never thinks about anythine except his best profile and his -crapbook of flattering press notices. In real life, that's nowhere near the truth Many actors-are involved today m quite a few occupations other than -how business. ‘ As you know, some of us in Hollywood are even in politics. For another example of an actor who has out - ide interests, I could immodestly cite myself. As vice president of Screen Hems, Inc., I am a businessman. I’ve even been known to carry a brief ca.-e home niirhts. Helps March of Dimes In another non-Hollywood oa- j parity. I am very much interested in the March of Dimes, of which I am now California state chairman for the second year. • You might ask how did I, an actor, director and TV producer, become interested in a subject that would seem a long way from my profession. Well, the fact ;s I was asked by a friend on the Columbia Pictures lot whether I would volunteer in the March of Dimes fight against birth defects. 1 told my friend to tret me some maU-rial on what the March of Dimes was doing, and to let me think it over. When my wife and P'first read the figures about these tragic disorders, I have to admit we were somehow ashamed of our lack of knowledge. A quarter of a million infants are born each year with defects. Also each year, we lose a half-million unborn- babies as well as 60,000 infants, children and adults, all due to birth defects. Figures Are Shock I have a hunch that these shocking figures were unknown to the general public for years, not because they weren’t available, but because nobody,really wanted to hear about them— particularly young parents. In \ spite of this apathy, the March of Dimes decided to tackle this problem. Just because a subject is depressing, doesn’t mean we're justified in ducking it. It didn’t take me long to realize that birth defects certainly are m>t far remove^ from my Mw\\^p lo nvj r}m m FATHER OF FOUR children, Jackie Cooper, noted television and screen actor who is California chairman of the March of Dimes,/' explains in this article why parents particularly should concern themselves with'the fight against birth defects. Here he visits with a young victim of birth defects at a March of Dimes Birth Defects Center in Los Angeles. interests (or from anyone's). I have four of the best reasons in tlie world for being interested. I have four children. Looking ahead, I am also concerned because some day I hope they’ll have their own children —healthy, normal ones. As matters now stand, there’s no way of predicting with certainty whose infants are going to be born defective. Just as someone asked me to join him in helping the March of Limes fight this battle, now it’s my turn to ask the same of you. I very much hope you will join me. Aside from making monetary contributions, there’re a lot of worthwhile things that March of Dimes volunteers can do. Perhaps everyone can’t pilot his plane around his state, as I do when I’m asked to appear in various California cities. But there are other assignments— many of them involving vital and rewarding tasks in the fields of medical care and in education. As a parent, I’m convinced that all of us had better become a great deal more .knowledgeable and concerned about birth defects for the sake of our children and our children’s children. We all have the opportunity and the privilege of supporting a health organization which is leading the fight against birth defects through research and treatment, just as it led the victorious battle against polio.

Covered employers will be required to pay piece-rate workers the minimum wage regardless of the productive ability of the worker. In other words, if the piece-rate worker is unable to produce sufficiently to earn the minimum wage, the farmer must make ud the difference and pay him a minimum wage. Agricultural workers are exempt from overtime payment. The Act defines wage “paid as including the reasonable cost to the employer of furnishing the employee with board, lodging or otherfacilities if such is customarily fui nished”. However, the Secretary of Labor is authorized tc determine the fair value, based on average cost to the employer or groups of employers similarly situated, This average value determined by the Labor Department will be used in place o: the actual cost of fur^rfshli1> board, lodging, etc./'^ The Act requires jhat sharecroppers, unless/ they .aw truly independent (operaftors be considered asV^mpJoyee; and will be counted in determining man days and must also be paid the minimum wage. The test to determine whether he is an independent operator or a sharecropper will be based on who makes the day-to-day decisions such as: 1. What to plant 2. When to plant 3. What and how much supplies to purchase 4. When to harvest and who to sell to 5. All other basic managerial decisions Failure of a sharecropper to qualify under any one of the above may qualify him for minimum wage. The Act provides that no employee below the age of 16 may be employed in Agriculture in an occupation found by the Secretary of Labor to be hazardous for the employment of children exceptwhere the child is employed by his parent on a farm owned or operated by the parents, i If you feel that you are covi ered, or that you are a borderi line case, please get in touch ! with a field representative of the Labor Department in your area.

Children Entitled To VA Pension - Minor children ofi deceased, veterans remain eligible for pension payments even though their mother loses her eligibility by remarriage. The same situation occurs when the mother becomes ineligible because her income exceeds the limit for pension eligibility. In these instances, payments are stopped to the widow but continued for the children. However if the widow fails to apply for pension, knowing that she is • not eligible, the VA will have'no record of the children who are entitled to receive pension payments; and until an application is received payments of pension cannot be made for the children. Unmarried children of deceased veterans are eligible for pension payments until they are 18 years of age, or until they are 23 if they are attending school, provided their own personal incomes do not make them ineligible. Whether the children were born of the parents, were adopted or were stepchildren of the veteran makes no difference as far as their eligibility is concerned. DON'T LISTEN TO RUMORS Get the facts on veterans’ benefits from the nearest representative of the VIRGINIA DIVISION OF WAR VET ERA NS’ CLAIMS. Edward M. Mathews, Veterans Claims' Agent, of the Front Royal office of the DWVC, is in Washington at the Clerk's Office on 1st and 3rd Monday from 2:00 to 4:00p.m. and will gladly give assistance on any matter connected with veteran’s affairs.

Under the old law, these benefits stopped at 18 unless the child was disabled. What do these and other changes in the social security law mean to women. They mean that widows no longer have to wait until they reach 62 to start receiving social security benefits. They also mean that some divorced women may get wife’s benefits, and that some surviving divorced wives may receive widow’s benefits even after they are no longer caring for their former husband’s children. Women who are 72 or over may be eligible for special benefits of up to $35 a month. If a woman is 73 and her husband is 76 or older, they may be able to get these benfits with as little as 3/4 of a year of work credit under social security. And many young people may continue to receive social seurity benefits while finishing their education. This pro vision, by the way, does not change the eligibility require ments for the mothers of such students.
