Rappahannock News, January 18, 1968

c Mr. Thornhill Attends Regional Conference , Gordon Thornhill, assistant manager of the Rappahannock Farmers’ Cooperative, Sperryville, has just returned from a Southern States Cooperative regional merchandising conference held at the John Marshall Hotel, Richmond' on January 9, 10 and 11. The conference, one of seven such meetings held throughout the cooperative’s fivestate operating territory, was held for training and informing Southern States' Agency personnel about product and service programs so they could give maximum service to local farmers this spring. The theme of the meeting was “Stay in Front.” Featured at the conference; were programs on feed, fert-l ilizer'’ seed, petroleum andj farm supplies. In addition pro-j duct schools were held on tires, batteries and accessories, agricultural chemicals,! water systems, chain saws! and feed. Cooperative leaders stressed that farmers and farming should enjoy a good year in 1968. Agriculture will continue to be the nation's biggest and most basic industry with! unlimited opportunities ahead.! Commodity Program Signups in Early ’68 Signups for participation in; the 1968 feed grain and wheat' programs will take place con-1 currently during February 5 and March 15 of 1968,according to H. S. Barksdale, Chairman, Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation County! Committee. The applications! filed show the farmer's pro-1 gram intentions. The feed grain program for 1968 provides diversion and price-support payments as well as price-support loans to program participants; feed grain diversion payments will be available to all participants in 1968. The 1968 wheat program benefits include pricesupport loans and marketing certificates to bring returnsup to full parity on the part of the wheat crop allocated For domestic use; no diversion payment is available for vheat. Forest Fires Burn 4.8 Acres in County Raymond Johnson, Chief Forest Warden for Rappahannock County, reports that 4 forest fires burned 4.8 acres of forest land in the county last year. For the 16-county Charlottes ville district, a total of 274 fires burned 806 acres of forest land. Many of these fires occurred during the month of April when less than one inch of precipitation was recorded. However, the general public cooperated with the Virginia Division of Forestry in ^excellent manner, keeping “the number of fires and their size relatively small. Restraint Urge<L in Livestock, Poultry, Production Secretary of Agriculture Orville L. Freeman recently told a conference of livestock and poultry industry leaders and representatives of general farm organizations that large grain supplies' this fall pose a threat of overexpansion in the production of livestock and poultry products nextyeac The Secretary pointed out that the prices hog producers get next year rest on the breed) ing decisions they are making right now, and he urged live-' stock and poultry producers to resist the temptation to expand production because grain prices are temporarily low -- a situation directly attributable to bumper grain crops here and around the world this year. The Secretary said that the Department of Agriculture will continue to do everything within its power to strengthen grain and livestock prices. He asked the farm leaders for recommendations for USDA actions and for a report on what they and their organizations can and will do, individually and in cooperation with USDA, to hold back excessive production and to improve prices of livestock and poultry products in 1968. “If farmers and their organizations will exert strong lead ership and cooperate with the USDA, we can build up farmers’ bargaining power and improve prices," he said. Dog Tag Deadline Jan. 31 January 31 is the deadline for purchasing 1968 dog tags in Rappahannock County. Tags are available at the office of Robert L. Brown, Treasurer, Washington, Va., and must be secured on or before January 31. Certificates of vaccination are required for the purchase of tags. Dog owners who fail to comply with the law will be prosecuted. Jack Bruce, Sperryville, is Dog Warden for Rappahannock County. Sperryville Firemen Set Carnival Dates The Sperryville Volunteer Fire Department has set the dates for their annual firemen's carnival for .Wednesday through Saturday, July 17, 18j 19 and 20, 1968., Panthers Drop Two Games Last Week Montevideo downed the Rappahannock Panthers last Wednesday on the local court with a one-point decision, the score standing at 75-74. In the first quarter the Panthers scored only 13 points to their opponents 26. The end of the third quarter showed Montevideo with 65 and Rappahannock dragging with 47. The Panthers closed the gap in the final quarter, scoring 27 points but were unable to overcome the Montevideo team which scored only 10 in that quarter. The ten points, gave them a one point margin to tally 75 points and defeat Rappahannock. Turner Ashby Knights trounced the Panthers in Friday’s game on the Rappahannock court, and final scoring showed 98 for T. A. and 64 for the Panthers. The Knights started rolling fast and charged ahead through the entire game. Bobby Settle was high man with 19 points; Charles Dodson, second with 15 and Roy Reeve close with 14. Turner Ashby is top team in the district, and in Friday’s game showed that elegant form which will, no doubt, keep them there. Bobby Weakley, Reporter The Turner Ashby Knights defeated the Rappahannock Panthers Friday night on the RCHS court. Rev. Kreamer To Speak At Forest Grove The Rev. Cyrus William Krearner of Bridgeton, New Jersey will be the speaker Sunday, January 21 at 3 p.m. at Forest Grove Baptist Church. Please note the time for there will be no morning worship.

He will speak at Jeffersonton at 11 a.m. Sunday morning. Sportsmen - - Join Up — By Irvin Kenyon Game Warden I may lose my shirt tail. It seems that I missed a 20point buck la st week in my deer report. The 20-point hat rack was taken by Lynn Atkins of Flint Hill. This is apparently the deer with the greatest number of points taken in Rappahannock. The winner of the Rappahannock Fish and Game Club's Big Deer contest was Charles Foster of Flint Hill. It was a 163 1/2 pound 8 pointer. The trophy was presented to him by the club's president Morgan Johnston at Monday night's meeting. The club also approved a{ proposal to pay for student} material to be used in thej National Rifle Association ap—; proved hunter safety course} which will be given by the! Game Commission. The club ordered some quail' and rabbits for stocking in various areas of Rappahannock County. Silage Clinic Set Jan. 23 in Culpeper Rappahannock farmers may participate in the Silage Clinic being held at the Extension Offices in Culpeper January 23rd. First bring your silage sample by this office to be sent off for analysis. At this time bring in an extra pint. We freeze the extra sample to have on hand the day silage is judged for quality. After samples are judged test data can be had. Since analysis require about one week, farmers to enter should bring samples in right away. Local farmers already entering are H. L. Manwaring [Charlie Compton and I. L. Parrish. i Samples, being stored at 'Swan & Co., will be thawed the morning of the 23rd. Judging by Dr. Scott Carr and Harlan White, V.P.I., will take place at 11:00 a.m. with the Clinic and discussion of placings to be at 1:15 p.m. | In past years this Clinic has attracted widespread interest among Culpeper beef and dairy cattle producers and has been of material benefit instimulat ing and teaching how to produce quality silage at noextra cost. W. H. Lyne, Ext. Agent, Agric. ; Fire and Rescue ; Squad Notes The Flint Hill Fire Company reported to a house fire on the Meadowbrook Hall property on Saturday.

On Tuesday Scott Platt, |son of Mr. and Mrs. Tom Platt was taken to Warren Memorial Hospital for treatment of a head injury after falling from a bicycle. Fewer Silver Coins Now In Use Here Silver coins, especially limes and quarters, will soon become a rarity in Rappahan- j aock County. * The Treasury Department re ports that it has been quietly j withdrawing a large number j bf these coins from circulation | recently, resuming a course of i action»-that it initiated two years ago. At that time, there were some 279,000 dimes and quarters in use in the local area, each of them containing 90 percent silver. In order to reclaim this sil- | ver, which was in short supply nationally, many of these coins j were removed from circula-! tion and were replaced with others made of copper and I nickel. Now, explains the Treasury Department, it has become necessary to retire more of the silver coins because its strategic stockpile of the metal is too small. As a result, the silver dimes and quarters that have been showing up lately0 at the various Federal Reserve banks have been picked u^and copper-nickel “coins (substituted for them. V the present objective is^o accumulate 400 million ounces of silver by next June, which would be enough to meet industrial and other needs for three to four years. The figures show that for every man, woman and child in Rappahannock County, there are approximately 37 dimes and 20 quarters in normal circulation. They have a face value of $8.70. From the standpoint of metallic content, those made of silver are worth just about what they purport to be. As for the substitute coins, they are wojrth only q fraction of that amount. Instead of $8.70 the intrinsic value in the local Lda will be only, 65 cents,1 approximately when the con version is completed. Their purchasing power, however, will be the same. The total value of all the dimes and quarters in use in Rappahannock’ County, estimated at $43,000 before the changeover began, will drop to about $3,000 eventually. The Covernment will profit locally to the extent of $40,000 as a result. Throughout the country as a whole, its gain will be over $1.5 billion. Nationally, according to the figures released, there are some 8.5 billion dimes and quarters in circulation. They contain close to 700 million ounces of silver. State Turkey Kill Shows Marked Drop Big Came Tag returns indicate that Virginia’s turkey kill dropped to 2,338 last season from the record of 4,040 taken the year previous, a decrease of 42%, Game Management Field Coordinator C. II. Shaffer reports. The decline was not expected but biologists had hoped that it would not be quite so drastic, examination of feathers collected at chec ing stations reveals that adults outnumbered young birds in the kill in many areas, indicating very poor hatching and rearing success last spring. In a good year, juveniles can make up over 80% of the kill, Shaffer said. Nature hit the birds with the coldest May on record last spring, coupled with unusually wet conditions. Abundant acorns and other foods over most of Virginia last fall kept the birds scattered frustrating hunter attempts to find and bag them. The five top western counties were Bath with 288 turkeys. Augusta with 147, Botetourt where 141 were bagged, Highland with 133 and Rockbridge with 132 reported. Leading eastern turkey counties included Buckingham with 81, Amelia with 67, Prince William with 54, Fauquier with 49 and Spottsylvania with 47 reported kills. The total bag west of the Blue Ridge was 1,441 turkeys while only 897 were killed in eastern counties. Recovery of the turkey flocks will depend largely on hatching and rearing success this spring. Miss Dwyer Returns To Gaza as Nurse Miss Anne Dwyer ofSperryville will be one of five Southern Baptist nurses who will be leaving almost immediately for Gaza to relieve the shortage of nurses at the Baptist Hospital, a condition made critical by the June war in the Middle East. Miss Dwyer, a career missionary nurse who has been on inactive status since last April, was returned to active duty at the January meeting of the Foreign Missions Board, Richmond. She had served a four-year term in the Gaza hospital before going to the Baptist Hospital in A.jloun, Jordan for five years, and now will return to Gaza. The hospital, which has always relied heavily on Arab doctors and nurses,must have more missionary help while nursing students from the Gaza Strip are training. Jaycees To Sponsor Dance in February The Rappahannock Jaycees will sponsor a country music dance on February 9 at the Flint Hill fire hall, from 9 p.m. until 1 a.m. Music will be provided by the Clark County Ramblers and admission is $2.00 per couple or $1.50 stag. Proceeds will go to the Jaycee Scholarship Fund. Rep. Marsh Urges Defense Expenditures Rep. John O. Marsh. Jr. (I)., Va.) believes the federal budget for the next fiscal year “should not exceed to total appropriated by the Congress for this fiscal year-- except as to defense items". “Barring some unforeseen domestic emergency requirement, I see no reaspn why this should not be considered a reasonable and practical guidclitflj," the 7th District Congressman commented. "Obviously, military appropriations will have to be approved on a ' whatever-i snecessary’ basis, as long as the United States remains at war, but I believe the people will support stringent control over other federal spending, even though it would result in the curtailment of a number of worthy programs,” he added. Marsh, sole Virginia member of the House Committee on Appropriations, said he had "no official information ojt the contents of the President's budget*, but hoped "it might be austere in the matter of funding domestic programs which, by exercise of fiscal will power, could be deferred, in the Interest of more stability in the Treasury balance sheet and the control of inflation”. Weather Facts The old adage, “no news Is good news" applies In many cases, however, the newspaper business is one exception. With the extremely cold weather aiding and abetting Icy conditions, people don’t move about much and people make the news. So Let’s talk about the weather. Snow last Tuesday closed the schools for a half day. More precipitation Saturday morning in the form of snow, turning into hall, sleet and rain In the evening and night. Sunday was really a slick one with fog and drizzle to accompany the ice. A light snow crept quietly in Sunday night making the already treacherous icy c o n d it ion s doubly hazardous. Schools were closed Monday and Tuesday and opened again yesterday. Temperatures ranging from freezing to zero preserved the various layers of snow and ice. Wednesday’s temperatures climbed into thefortiesfor the first time many days. Task of Finding Teachers Is Difficult The task of finding teachers to staff classrooms was “more difficult” this year than last for 34 percent of Virginia’s localities, and superintendents in an additional 10 percent said that their teacher recruitment was "much more difficult". A Virginia Education Association research report al6o shows that 14 percent of the localities found it easier to get their needed supply of teachers*and 40 percent said they experienced about the same degree of difficulty as last year. O. A. Norton, Superintendent of Schools in Warren and Rappahannock said that one of tne greatesTdifficulties in acquiring teachers for Rappahannock County was the lack of housing available in the county. When there are no houses or apartments to rent, prospective teachers prefer to teach elsewhere rather than have to commute from a neighboring town. Concern was also expressed by some about the lack of adequate rhedical facilities here. Most needed were math teachers, cited by 66 localities, and science teachers, cited by 52. There was a shortage in the field of elementary education in 38 localities, industrial arts in 30, physical education in 30, and primary education in 28. Other areas cited by 15 or more localities were music, (Continued on Page 2) Ice Is piled up along the river’s edge at Rock Mills. After plunging temperatures built up the ice along the river, heavy rains Saturday night raised it up and when the water receded the ice was deposited along the banks.

Race Against Time Gives Sight to Blind Many times a year throughout the eastern portion of the state, a race against time takes place to bring sight to the blind. The race involves removing and transporting to the operating room human eye tissue used in corneal transplantations. R. Kenneth Hudgins, Director of the Old Dominion Eye Bank in Richmond, related recently the series of events surrounding one of these “runs". Sight-saving operations, of course, come about only when an individual pledges his eyes to be removed after death and forwarded to an eye bank. When- death occurs, next of kin notify the eye bank immediate ly. Within a 48-hour period, the eyes must be removed, delivered to the eye bank .where they are examined anc then transported to an ophthal mologist who performs the operation. After the eye bank is notified, Hudgins says, it contacts a "substation", a facility (usually a hospital) working ir conjunction witn tne eye Dame, The station in turn sends ar ophthalmologist to wherever the deceased has been taken, and removes the eyes. Hudgins points out that plastic eyeballs are then substitutec and the result is so perfeci that it is not apparent thai the original eyes have beer removed. At this point the eye6 art taken to the substation, packaged in a refrigerated container and sent to the Richmond Eye Bank. They may be delivered by plane, car or other conveyance with state police often participating in emergency runs. Aft$f arriyal.at the eye bank, the eyed' bri efer go 'a r a p i d series of checks taking a matter of minutes. Then, if found suitable, the eye tissue Is delivered to a waiting ophthalmologist who may be in Virginia, California or even outside this country. When received, the corneas or scleral tissue may be removed and used immediately in a transplant operation. If all this can be accomplished in 48 hours, the race against time is won, but there are not enough of these races, Hudgins asserts, and many blind people who could be given vision are remaining sight less through lack of available eye tissue. The Old Dominion Eye Bank, is part of a nationwide network of similar institutions dedicated to procuring donor eyes to give vision to the blind. Aiding ODEB are Lions Clubs throughout this area. Hudgins said anyone wishing to pledge his eyes may contact a Lion for further information or write the Old Dominion Eye Bank at 408 North 12th Street, Richmond. Local Option Bill Will Leave Local Decision On Mixed Beverages Virginia localities would have the right to decide for themselves on the matter of mixed beverage sales in their ' own communities if the local option bill is passed in the |General Assembly where it Iwa6 introduced last week. Since the measure was introduced in both houses of the 'legislature it has shown signs of wide appeal. une sucn encouraging sign, say supporters, is the fact that the bill had 28 patrons in the House and 12 in the Senate when introduced. No similar legislation has enjoyed such popularity in past sessions. “This is a much more refined bill than the others," noted Sen. Edward E. Willey of Richmond, one of the 40 patrons, at the time of intro-' duction. It is not giving anyone the right to mixed drinks. It merely gives them the right to vote on it," he explained. “The whole issue is whether the people have the right to vote or not," Willey noted. A similar expression came! from J. Hudson Huffard, Sr., Bluefieid businessman and chairman of the state-wide Right to Vote Committee which supports the measure. He called the bill “one of the best pieces of legislation to come along in years." Huffard congratulated all 40 patrons of the bill, including ilouse introducer Del. Bernard Levin of Norfolk and Sen. Edward L. Breeden, also of Norfolk, who sponsored the bill in the upper house. Specific provisions of the bill include these: - Localities would be able to vote on the proposition upon I petition for a referendum from FULL HOUSE JX" consisting of 2-piece matching living room suite, 2 end and one cocktail table, 2 beautiful lamps; complete bedroom suite, bookcase bed, box spring, innerspring mattress, 2 comfortable pillows and bed spread, double dresser with mirror and chest; 5 or 7-piece dinette set, complete set of china and stainless steel tableware.

The bill is tentatively slated to have its public hearing this Thursday before a joint session of the House General Laws Committee and the Senate Welfare Committee. Stolen Cars Recovered NKW YORK—Although 00 per tent of all automobiles stolen in the United States are recovered, according to the Insurance Information Institute, about 30 per cent of the re covered cars have been damaged or stripped of parts—many to the extent that they represent total losses. Uriver r-ciucaiion NF.W YORK—Although in sura rice premium discounts arc available to students who tom plete recognized driver education courses, such courses are offered in only about I 8,000 of the nation's 18,000 public high schools, according to the Insur ance Information Institute. Big Betsy NF.W YORK—History's cost best recorded catastrophe, According to the Insurance Information Institute, was Hurricane "Betsy,” which swept across Florida, Mississippi and I.ouisi ana in September, 1905. "Betsy" caused damage estimated at more than $1 billion, of which about S7I5 million was insured. Fire Frequeney NF.W YORK—A fire bleaks out in an American home every 19 seconds, according to the In surance Information Institute. Fire strikes nearly 2.000 American homes every clay and c laims a life every ‘1.8 minutes. Finding Teachers - - (Continued from Page 1) 'foreign language, library and special education. The study shows that an additional 277 teachers could have been employed had they been available; however, this figure is not a reliable indicator of the extent of the teacher shortage in Virginia. Many classrooms are being manned by teachers who are not certified to teach one or more of the subjects they are teaching. Still there are in Virginia a number of special license teachers who have not completed college, and certain other teachers are less qualified than desired. The questionnaire asked for a comparison of the difficulty between this year and last but does not include a factor pertaining to last year’s degree of difficulty. In other words,' some localities reporting “about the same" as last year could still be having a difficult time. ui luuoc muic-aiing a uiange in difficulty, three locations found their teacher recruitment harder for every one which found it easier. A total of 17 localities reported it easier to find teachers 'than last year, but even with this sign of encouragement seven of them were still not able to get all of the teachers they needed. Forexample, Buchanan, which found it easier to get teachers this year, still was unable to find 15 of the teachers it needed. Throughout the state 65 of the 125 reporting localities secured all of their needed personnel for the current year and 60 did not. Auto Theft Frequency NFW YORK—The chances nf your car being stolen rose from f in 203 in 1018 to 1 in 110 in 1000. according to the Insurance Information Institute There were 057.000 cars stolen in 1000, many of them by thieves who found the cars unlocked and keys in the ignition switch. A Fault In Our Courts One Danville citizen finally has said publicly and for print what a few have said “off the record,” some have stated privately and many have pondered silently. The question goes something like this: Is it really worth trying to see justice done when the victim, himself, may expend far more time, effort, energy, the taxpayers’ money and inconvenience to other citizens . . . than the criminal— if captured and penalized—will ever suffer? Here is an example: The owner-operator of a ^.small business is the victim of a nighttime burglar. The loss was not great, but a crime was committed. He notifies police and willingly stands by until the investigation is completed . . . inventory, fingerprints, business closed to regular customers. Suspects are detained. There are trips to . police headquarters—during which the business is either at a standstill or left in the hands of some last-ditch rep la cement. But the case is solved, the apparent criminal arrested . . . and the victim feels he has done his duty and can relax. Oh NO! The ordeal has just started. The hearing in the “lower court” isn’t bad, once it’s held—only the loss of a half-day’s work. But by • then another half-day has probably already been consumed on the date for which the case was first set, when it had to be continued after the defendant announced he wanted an attorney. Weeks pass and the victimized merchant is summoned to appear in the “upper court” only to discover this is not the date of the trial but the start of the term when grand jury indictments are being returned. A date is then set for the hearing and he returns to court where he sits and squirms all day, thinking surely his case will come next. If the preceding case is drawn out longer than anticipated, however, he may have to return the next day, and even a third day. And then finally, his case is called . . . and continued until a later term. And the ordeal may be repeated again . . . and again. It was not surprising that tue victim of a recent break-in politely but firmly asked police to lay off the investigation. He had been through it many times before. Even when there had been convictions, he had lost more trying to see justice done than the criminal had stolen in the first place. The victim often ended up feeling more guilt than the criminal. He recognized all the tax money spent by hard working police. He had some idea of the records that had been prepared and the time lost by jurors and court officials. So, why bother? he asked. Please don’t investigate, he pleaded. There would be too much time wasted in the courts, he reasoned. This example is not restricted to one smallbusiness operator. Ask around. IT IS TYPICAL. And it is not confined to small businesses. Some managers of large stores had rather see a shop-lifter escape than face the ordeal of having to go to court, day after day, with employes—witnesses—to try to see justice done. Thank goodness, most of these businessmen face the fact that, unless they try, the scourge of shoplifting—a billion-dollar loss which must be passed on to the legitimate customer—would become unbearable to both the merchant and the customer. Still another example: Mr. and Mrs. Joe Average will shake their heads and ponder dver what is happening when they read that crowds will see a hideous crime being committed . . . and turn their backs and walk away. Yet, this same couple may witness a traffic accident in which they know the innocent driver will be falsely accused and sued . . . and they drive away quickly and silently, lest they face those long days in court . . . waiting for the case to be called . . . waiting through those conferences and recesses . . . hearing continuances pronounced . . . being told to come back again another day . . and WAITING. The examples of the abuses suffered by seekers of justice could go on and on, with the conclusions the same: Good citizens are sick and tired of having their time “wasted”, needlessly in the'courts of Chicago, Sacramento . . . Danville ... and, just name the place. Those joining this mushrooming army are citizens with legitimate complaints, witnesses who know and could tell the truth, and able jurors who seek every means to evade the dutv they would gladly render but for “wasted” time’in the courts. Of course, every man is entitled to his day in court—yet every man should not have to sit idly in court day after day in the pursuit of justice. Must the wheels of justice grind so slowly that they seem to stop on the necks of the victims and those pursuing the truth as witnesses and jurors? Unless some way is found to protect the “right’ ’of the victims and their witnesses and their peers, the delay in courtroom procedures will prevent justice on a wider scale than now. We would not pretend to have THE answer, or ANY answer. Surely those able attorneys, bar associations, concerned judges, authorities, of legal institutions, and others are sufficiently alarmed to at least attempt to seek an answer. • Until and unless they do, law-abiding citizens will be increasingly less inclined to give their all in the name of justice while being victimized in the machinery of what is called justice. And what will happen to law and order? The Bee: Danville, Va., Saturday, Oct. 14, 1967 I Read the Want Ads! It Pays! It takes “know how” . . . and all went well until the clippers started. M. (1.

Reductions on All Merchandise Shop and Save! HEY, UNCLE Hey Uncle, bow much does it cost to rear a child? You allow us taxpaying parents only $600 a year to feed, clothe, house and train a youngster. In your Federal Job Corps you spend $7,000 a year! This Is quite a difference! Now, which is the correct figure? Either we're allowing too much or you’re not allowing us enough. You allow taxpaying parents a $600 deduction for care and feeding of each child. compared to cuoans Yet under the Cuban refugee program you assume minimum upkeep requires $1,200 a year and if the Cuban boy or girl is attending school-an extra $1,000 a year. How come you shortchange the home folks? In the austere environs of a Federal prison you have discovered that it costs- to maintain one person, with no frills, no luxuries, and no borrowing Dad's car$2,300 a year. By what rule of thumb do you estimate that Mom and Dad can do it for one-fourth that amount? Under Social Security you will pay $168 a month to maintain the elderly. What makes you think we can maintain our young* uns on $50 a month? And, Uncle your VISTA program (Volunteers in Service to America) spent $3.1 million last year to train only 202 trainees. That indicates that the cost of maintaining jgd ^youth. one yagjt is mpf^4|i|u^%000u. Then how come we taxpaying parents get an exemption of only $600 to maintain and train one youth for the year? Or let’s see how much you spent upkeeping one youngster in military uniform. House, $55.10 a month. Food, $30.37 a month. Clothing upkeep $4.20 a month. That comes to $1,074.84 a year.

Medical Care Constantly Improves How the March of Dimes Fights Birth Defects By VIRGINIA APGAIt, M.O., M.P.H. Director, Basic Research Dept. The National Foundation March of Dimes The quality of medical and hospital care of children afflicted with birth defects is improving to a degree that is almost spectacular. When you realize that a quarter of a million babies with defects are bom in this country every year, you can see that this recent upgrading pi care is a major contribution to our nation’s health. This is not to imply that these infants were ever deliberately neglected by physicians or hospitals. Far from it. But a decade ago, when The National Foundation-March of Dimes began fighting birth defects after the conquest of polio, our store of knowledge about effective treatment of such conditions was quite* limited. For ^teVis tef: thidfiifthdS^f' these iflC fants and youngsters we could do little more than hope and pray and, tragically, often see them institutionalized for what was left of their lifetime. To be sure, the prevention of most birth defects is still beyond our power. But what a change today in our attitude as healers in this area! With our vastly expanded information, particularly as to treatment for such frequent disorders as water on the brain and legparalyzing open spine, the physicians can now offer hope for improvement to more and more children. As for institutionalization— in birth defects nowadays that is about the last thing most of us doctors think about, if at all. We want to keep the child at home with his family as an effective member of society. We have many techniques at our disposal such as surgery— sometimes infinitely delicate-^ blood transfusions, special diets (for metabolic defects), prosthetic devices like artificial arms and legs, physical therapy, speech and hearing therapy, and training for the mentally retarded. Provided they have a referral from their physician or a hospital, parents of any infant or child with a birth defect can apply to the nearest March of Dimes Birth Defects Center. Since today there are nearly “With our vastly expanded information, physicians can now offer hope for improvement to more and more children.” Girl in above photos shows improvement over period of five years. 100 of these across the nation, the distance to be traveled should not be excessive. For parents and patient, the combination of medical skills at this Center can be a lifesaver. The child may require the attention of six or more specialists, which is usually possible at the Center at one visit. THe next step consists of a plan of action drawn up by one of the team acting for all its members, detailing precisely what surgical and medical treatment the patient should undergo at the hospital. In many cases the same physician will serve as the “follow-up” man to see that the patient receives, step-by-step and at specified intervals, the exact therapy prescribed by the team. He also serves as the team’s spokesman with the parents so that they are not compelled to talk to six different specialists. Dr. John F. Cadden, my National Foundation-March of Dimes colleague who devotes most of his time to visiting these Centers, says that the next step is the “bread and butter of our program.” In a typical situation, this consists of a firm schedule of return check-up visits to the Center, where the medical team examination may be repeated; as well as home visits by the medical social worker to insure that the parents are providing the therapy prescribed for the patient after discharge from the hospital. Some of these parents are themselves getting “therapy” in some parts of the nation. This is provided when they join discussion groups of mothers and fathers of children with similar defects so they can exchange experiences and trade suggestions about solving their child’s problems at home. Finally, genetic counseling is vital to parents who have already had a child with a major defect, and are thinking of adding to their family. In these circumstances, advice is available through genetic counseling services offered by many major medical institutions. After study of the family ancestry, a genetic counselor can tell a couple generally what risks are of a given defect’s reappearing in another child. Wildlife Essay Deadline Extended The deadline for the 21st Annual Wildlife Essay Contest has been extended to January 31 because school closings due to inclement weather prevented many schools from meeting the original January 13 closing date, according to Contest Coordinator S. O. Newman. “A record number oi schools have entered this year’s contest and we would hate tp see so many of these students denied a chance tc have their efforts recognized due to circumstances beyond their control," Newman said. Schools are urged to submit th§ir essays as soon as practical since the extension of the closing date will be an extra burden on Judges to meet their deadlines.

The reason is simple: it can and does save lives. At one leading cancer-detection center, one case of cancer was,found in every 120 checkups. This ratio may not sound impressive, but it meayt some 490 cases discovered' among the 12,020 patients examined. Cancers start from a single location but take time to spread. A careful physical examination every twelve months reduces the likelihood of a cancer's spreading. Significantly, at the detection center, one case of cancer was found in every seventyeight checkups at first examination, but only one per 141 among those who came for subsequent checkups. Cancers had less chance to develop during the intervening year. DETECTION Cancer checkups are aimed at detecting unsuspected abnormal masses or tumors. For instance, your doctor may inspect the rectum and lower bowel with a narrow lighted tube called a proctoscope. This “procto" exam can reveal almost three out of four cancers early enough for probable cure. If you're a woman, your doctor will examine your breasts for suspicious lumps. Complete inspection of the body surface may show the existence of skin cancer — a highly common, but highly curable, form. A chest x-ray (especially for the cigarette smoker) may also reveal the presence of an unsldlpected cancer. In women, a Tap test may reveal cancer of the womb at a stage when it is practically 100 per cent curable. - As the American Cancer Society has repeatedly stressed, the verdict in the majority of checkups will be: no cancer. But if cancer is found, it can be promptly and properly treated in its early stages. So visit your doctor once a year for an annual checkup. Help him practice the slogan, “Every doctor’s office a cancer detection center.” (focst ^Funeral \larlurs H. C. GKEST, Director 405 Sperryville Road Culpeper, Virginia Christopher (reest R. T.

Burning grease will not be extinguished by throwing water on it, says the American Insurance Association. The best remedy, after first turning off the heat, is to throw [baking soda on the burning grease. Another recommend- | ed method is to place a large, flat cover over the pan, using i a long handled fork to set itj in place. In order tcj) prevent this typel of fire, the Association suggests that broilers, ovens and top-of-stove burners be kept) free of grease,and that greasei containers be placed far froml stoves. j In 1966, home fires took the' lives of 6,700 people.

Phone 987-3766 Research Shows Glimmers of Light How the March of Dimes Fights Birth Defects By VIRGINIA APGAR, M.D., M.P.H. Director, Basic Research Dept. The National Foundation March of Dimes Research into the causes and treatment of birth defects is moving along today at a pace few of us would have believed possible even a decade ago. Even so, we scientists are confronted by a long and uphill climb. We lack firm answers to hundreds of questions, but at least our questions are getting sharper and more penetrating. There are a few glimmers of light where, for centuries, there was dark ignorance. As of now, we still cannot prevent most birth defects, but there are at least four areas that show progress. In research today, perhaps the greatest hope comes from the German measles (rubella ) preventive vaccine developed last year by the Federal Government’s Division of Biologies Standards of the National Institutes of Health. The vaccine is now undergoing tests around the world. Licensing of this or similar vaccines is expected in another two or three years, well ahead of the next German measles epidemic which will probably hit the United States around 1970. We have known since 1940 that German measles in the expectant mother, particularly in the first three months of pregnancy, can be a major cause of birth defects. The German measles epidemic of 1964-’65 caused defects, including blindness, deafness, heart disease and mental retardation, in at least 20,000 infants. Accordingly, if it proves successful, the new vaccine must be considered a medical breakthrough. Again, in the area of research, medical science is well on its way toward the conquest of Rh disease. In the last decade, due mainly to diagnostic advances and fetal transfusions, mortality has already been reduced substantially from this “Research into the causes and treatment of birth defects is moving along today at a pace few of us would have believed possible even a decade ago.” disorder. In 1955, deaths in the United States from Rh factor totaled about 2,400 while in 1965 the figured dropped to 1,500. The expectation now is that the disease will be wiped out entirely in the foreseeable future. Recent studies in the United States, England and Germany have demonstrated that by treating an Rh-negative woman very soon after her first pregnancy with a specially prepared gamma globulin, which is obtained from blood, she can be prevented from producing antibodies that would attack the red blood cells of her next infant. This treatment should completely prevent Rh disease except among those women who have already been sensitized. Another provocative step in research into birth defects, the field which The National Foundation-March of Dimes entered after its successful fight against polio, deals with what is now called “fetal medicine.” This means direct treatment of the developing infant within the womh before birth. Some proponents of fetal surgery predict that in 10 years the fetus will be treated by direct intervenj tion into the uterus. Finally, medical scientists | are much interested today in [ research into the body’s immunity system, now believed to be controlled at least in part by ihe thymus, a butterflyj shaped gland located in the J mid-chest area. Recently The | National Foundation-March of Dimes sponsored a njeeting devoted to this mysterious gland and to immunity mechanisms generally. It is also supporting research in this area. One intriguing theory maintains that the thymus “dial” may in time be adjusted up or down. Turn down- the immunity system to permit a kidney transplant. Turn up the system to destroy a cancer. But ; this achievement is a bit farj ther off than the day after tomorrow. j Thus, while the foregoing ] has made liberal use of oversimplification, we can say that mankind is making progress toward more knowledge about killing and crippling birth defects. It may be the day after tomorrow sooner than we think.
