Point-to-Point Races Set for March 2nd The March 2nd Rappahannock Hunt Point-to-Point Races, second event intheViF ginia Spring race circuit, will follow the Casanova Races by one week. Frigid February temperatures are plaguing race preparations. Owners and riders are hard put to it to condition their horses; however, entries are coming in as usual For the convenience of those entering the races, the Rappahannock course will be open for schooling, starting Friday, February 23rd through Friday March 1. Point-to-Point enthusiasts and friends of the Rappahannock Hunt are invited to become race sponsors. Sponsors receive a reserved park ing place located on the hill above the race course and two admittance t-icketsfor $10.00. Miss Sue Haggerty, (address Sperryville, Va., phone 987-8161,) will accept requests for reservations and send tickets. On the day of the races, admittance is available at the gate on Route 522. General parking across the Sperryville Pike from the course is $1.00 per car. Walk gate admission is $1.50 per person. Rappahannock Hunt members will have a special park ing area located above the pad dock. It is necessary for them to sponsor the races in order to avail themselves of this position. The scenic ice-fringed Thornton River in Sperryvilie babbles merrily on its polluted way. The Thornton is polluted from raw sewage piped into it from some twenty or more homes along the river and the State Water Control Board says a remedy must be found for the situation. Thornton River Pollution; Land Tax Reassessment Topic of Supervisors The polluted Thornton River was a major topic at the Febru ary meeting of the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors held on the 2nd. A. H. Paessler and J. H. Roadcap, Jr. of the State Water Control Board were present to discuss the problem andpossfr ble solution with the county legislators. The Thornton River, as it flows through the village of Sperryville, receives raw sew age piped directly into the stream from over 20 homes. This accompanied by refuse which includes everything from cabbage leaves to glass bottles and tin cans, has the river in deplorable condition. Homes built on the river’s edge have no private sewage systems for the soil of the flood plain is not conducive to receiving septic tanks and drain fields. By the same token, a supply of pure water from wells is questionable. The problem is great, though it affects only a few, and there fore will be more difficult to correct. The State Water Control Law stipulates that any land owner who causes pollution of state waters is under compulsion by law to make amends. The problem has been present for many years, and attention and correction are long overdue. A solution to the problem will not be easy and a way must be found which will not put the county and village un Pre-School Regis. Scheduled Monday Pre-School registration for children who will enter the first grade in Rappahannock County in the fall has been scheduled for Monday, February 26, 1968 at Sperryville iElementary School between the hours of 9 a.m. and 12 noon, and at Washington Elementary School on Tuesday, February 27 during the same hours. Parents must accompany their child and bring an official birth certificate.

K, Estes. *■ Two more men were turned i over to Culpeper authorities last Thursday after investigation by the Sheriff’s department here revealed they had logs in their possession which had been stolen in Culpeper County. Deputy Sheriff John Walker Jenkins spotted the truck load of logs traveling on Route 729 near Ben Venue. When he failed to get what he considered satisfactory answers to his interrogation of two men in the truck, he summoned Sheriff Elstes. Further investigation revealed that the walnut logs, their value estimated at $150, had been rustled from the property of Robert Morrison at Eggborns ville. The men, Clyde and James Clark of Midland, were detained until the Sheriff from Culpeper arrived to take them into custody. It was later determined that a new chainsaw which the men were using was also stolen. Miss Beverly Payne was named Sweetheart of RCHS at a party and dance held at the school Saturday night.

Entitled, “What’s New In the Grocery Store*, it lists some of the i latest developments In food technology and some things we can be expecting in the near future. The newest process in food preservation is freeze-drying In this food is frozen, and then dehydrated to remove the water, a method which has several advantages over those of regular dehydration. The natural shape of the food is retained, it is not chemically altered to any great extent and it can readily be reconstituted. In fruits and vegetables: a new tomato product is appearing in some stores. Sliced tomatoes have been canned in their fresh state and remain firm for use in salads and sandwiches. Onion-flavored' instant , potatoes are being introduced. Dehydrated slices and cubes are also available in various casserole mixes. In stent sweet potatoes are new. Mucn like the boil-in-the-bag vegetable, there is now a quick thawing fruit dessert sealed in plastic pouches which can be immersed in hot water. In the meat line, turkeys are being built with built-in timers; freeze-dried sandwich mixes will soon be available, we have already seen the main dishes of dehydrated meat and vegetables appear on the market. With breads and cereals, we see little change except for instant breakfast cereals and low calorie cereals that are sweetened with non-calorie sweetness. New mixes are appearing regularly either in new packages or as improved products. New products in the Dairy F’roducts line consist of “non dairy' liquid creamers which "can also be used over cereal as well as in coffee. Frozen “non-dairy' whipped toppings will soon be on the market. Low-fat canned milk, and fortified fluid skim milk, which can contain no more than 2% fat are two other products available. These are only a few of the new products you’ll be seeing in the 6tores soon. With the demands for food Supply that we have today, it seems like the sky is the limit for the varieties of products that can be produced and marketed. Commodity Programs Signup Under Way Farmers in Rappahannock County commenced last Monday to sign up to participate in the 1968 feed grain and wheat programs, the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS) office reports. The signup period will extend for six weeks, through March 15, 1968. Under these programs, which have considerably dwindled government surplus stocks since 1960, farmers are agreeing again to reduce the acreages planted to corn and grain sorghum, and to devote the acreages thusdiverted to soil conserving^usage. As an additional incentive for farmers to participate, there will be payments to farmers to supplement their income on acreages actually planted. These are called price support payments and are based on a per-unit price times the normal yield established for a farm for a particular commodity. These payments are in addition to the price floor provided through price-support loans on corn, grain sorghum and wheat, available to farmers who participate in these respective programs. In 1967, participation in these programs in Rappahannock County amounted to a total of $43,162 in acreage diversion and price-support payments. Farmers arc urged to visit the county ASCS office at an early date and learn how these programs can fit into their 1968 farming operations.

Supervisors— (Continued from Page 1) January 22. The commission recommended its approval by the Board of Supervisors, which they did Friday. The engineer study was financed through a grant from F.H.A. Reassessment of property in Rappahannock, which is mandatory this year, will be done by Donald Hopkins of Manassas, who was present at the Supervisors meeting to discuss the appointment of Board of Accessors to work with him. Five names were submitted and three of these have been named by the Circuit Court Judge to serve. They are Alex Buckner III, T. V. Williams and H. S. Barksdale. Mrs. Mary Lea was approved as secretary for the Board of Accessors. Accessors will receive compensation in the amount of $20 per day and will meet every two weeks to view property. Timber rustlera have been at work in Rappahannock and surrounding area recently, so when Deputy Sheriff John Walker Jenkins spotted this truck near Ben Venue last week, he stopped it and investigated. Questioning by Mr. Jenkins and Sheriff C. K. Estes revealed that the walnut logs had been stolen in Culpeper County. Clyde and James Burke of Midland were turned over to Culpeper authorities. Mrs. Lea's salary was set at $1.50 per hour. Mr. Hopkins receives $550 per month with another $200 allowed for expenses which includes room and board or travel as the case may be. The Board of Supervisors requested Clerk E. M. Jones to write to Woodrow Coughlin in regard to deficiences in the addition made to the Extension Building in the courthouse yard. Highway Engineer James Skeens advised the Board that the construction of the dual lane east of Massies Corner toward Amissville will begin work at this time. He also broached the subject of the annual road hearing and all concerned agreed that this should be held in April in conjunction with the regular meeting of the Board. Supervisors again made it known that they wished the Rush River Bridge just east of Washington be left intact after this section of the road is by-passed with new dual lane construction in the future. Chairman J. Newbill Miller was upheld in his statement that he could not see the wisdom of removing the bridge as had been planned by the Highway Department when it was adequate for many years of service. The traffic load would be greatly reduced and would be of utmost convenience to those with property on the road. This short section can be transferred into the secondary system, but the final decision comes from the Highway Department. A new dump site in the Sperryville area was investigated with approval for purchasing if deemed satisfactory for this use. A former area near Sperryville which had been considered was found tied up in a road right of way tangle so a proper access was not avail able. However, this land had been used to a degree by some people, so action was taken to clean it up and curtail its use. Payment of some hospital bills submitted by the Welfare Department were approved for payment as well as current bills. The group adjourned. POUT DRIVE INTO TROOtli/ We Invite You To The ...

The U.R.D.A. report of sheep and lambs on feed as of Jan. 1 shows there are 9 percent fewer lambs on feed than a year ago. The same report shows that the lambs on feed at the first of this year were heavier than last vear. For example, 78 per ent of the lambs now on feed weighed 80 pounds or more on Jan. 1. This, of course, means that most of these lambs will go to market within the near future. This in turn should create a stronger demand for lambs during the spring and summer of this year, said George Allen, sheep specialist at Virginia Tech. To take full advantage of the unexpected higher prices, sheep should be managed to produce maximum lamb growth. Nornally, the faster lambs grow the less feed is required per pound of gain and the more profitable they: will be. To make maximum gains the ewe should be fed to maintain herself and produce a fair amount of milk. This means feeding enough of a well balanced ration. If this is not done milk production will drop deficiencies will develop and lambs may become stunted. Once lambs’ growth slows down or they become stunted they are more susceptible to disease and parasites and extra care and management will be required to produce suitable market lambs, said Allen. A ewe nursing lambs will need 4 to 6 pounds of good quality hay and 1 to 1 1/2 pounds of grain. If she isgraz ing good winter or permanent pasture, less hay will be needed. Where pasture is used, remember to increase the feed during periods when the ground is covered with snow. Where silage or low quality hay is used, be sure that sufficient protein, vitamins and minerals are supplied along with the right amount of grain If possible, ewes nursing twin lambs should be kept separate and fed more than ewes that have only one lamb. Lambs will make faster and cheaper gains if they have access to feed in addition to their mothers’ milk. Experiment station tests, as well as good farmer experience, have shown it will pay to creep feed lambs. For example, one test has shown that even though ewes were fed an excellent ration the lambs that were creep fed gained almost twice as fast as the larrfbs that were not fed. Normally, 3 pounds of creep feed costing a total) of 7 to 12 cents will produce: one pound of lamb worth 25 to 30 cents. A good creep ration will contain mostly ground or cracked shelled corn. Do not use corn and cob meal in the early creep ration. The creep ration should also contain about 10 pounds to the hundredweight of soybean or other protein meal Five to 10 percent molasses will help the ration. Some! wheat or wheat bran and a small amount of oats can also1 be used in the creep ration.; Some sheepmen also add a vita min supplement and, in some I cases, antibiotics to the creep ration. Good commercial I creep rations can be purchased in most sections of the state. Lambs will start eating grain when they are about two weeks of age. If older lambs are to be started on grain then only a small amount should be fed at first and increased gradually to avoid overeating troubles.

Marsh, Jr., said here this week that ‘adults; who voice concern about their] succeeding generations should first look inward and appraise the contributions they have been willing to make to the development of young people.” “The most important thing we can give is our time,” he said. The 7th District Congressman, speaking at a Boy Scout Eagle rank ceremony at the Strasburg Presbyterian Church, emphasized “the importance of Scouting, and similar character-building youth movements, in counter acting the wrongful influences of which adults arc prone to complain when discussing the ‘younger generation’.” “In marking Boy Scout Week nationally, perhaps those of us who have not been Involved with Scouting, or si mi lnr movements, through the years, or lately, might examine what we have done, to give personal, affirmative support tosuchefforts rather than limiting our approbation to occasional friendly comments,” Marsh said. "In many situations,” Marsh commented, “there are Scout troops, with dedicated Scoutmasters leading imaginative and productive programs, but not enough active volunteer time and effort from parents Has New Spring Dresses - Coats - Shoes - Suits Men's Spring Fashions Include Suits and Sport Coats Many In Stock - More Arriving Daily Come in and Browse Some 1/2 Price Sole Items Still Available and others who, if they recognized fully the needs and the results might well be impelled to give some time.” "It is particularly significant to bring the message of modern Scouting to those adults who might have been Hoy Scouts as youngsters but, somehow, have gotten the impression that the movement has been outgrown by sociolo] Rica 1. economic and technological changes." Marsh added, because we here know of the ways in which Scouting programs have kept pace in these regards, and now offer to the young man of a technological age a magnificent opportunity to broaden his horizons of interest while maintaining the values which musr be preserved if the human spirit is to thrive.” Highway Bldg. Costs Show 15 Pet. Increase New design and safety features and higher costs for construction and right-of-way have led to a 15 per cent increase in the estimated cost of building the interstate high way system in Virginia, the Department of Highways said today. The Department’s forecast, submitted to the U. S. Bureau of Public Roads for inclusion in an updated national cost estimate for Congress, set ! the State’s total interstate costs at $1,671,616,000, The last previous estimate, in 1965 was $1,452*462,000. On a nation-wide basis, federal highway authorities have reported that the cost of completing the full 41,000-mile interstate system from coast to coast will be at least 20 per cent more than in the 1965 I forecast, and will total an estimated $56,5 billion. Of the total estimated cost jin Virginia, projects already [finished, now under way or in (authorized stages amount to [more than half -- $890,924, 000. This leaves $780,692,000 as the estimated cost of work remaining to be done in building Scout Kickoff Meet Held on Feb. 12th A kick-off meeting for the 1968 Enrollment of Sustaining members in Rappahannock County in the Shenandoah Area Council, Boy Scouts of America was held at a breakfast Monday, February 12 atHamp ton Inn.

A final report on the enrollment will be made by the area chairmen on Monday, February 26, at 8:15 a.m. at the Hampton Inn. the State’s 1,060-mile share of the system. Originally, 1972 was the scheduled completion yearfor the svstem nationally. It now appears however, that it will be at least 1975, and some authorities have said that it may be extended to 1977. Ninety per cent of interstate system costs are provided by federal taxes on highway users, channeled back to the states through federal highway trust funds. The remainr ing 10 per cent is provided by the states. In most states, including Virginia, this is alsp through highway user taxes. The federal portion has not been provided as rapidly as originally expected, and this has caused the delay. . In Virgihia* the l'ar'gejstj single shaire of the estiniatea cost for the remainder of th£ system would be for eastwest Interstate 64, and amounts to $256,299,000. Next largest, $146,212,000, is earmarked for Interstate 77 in mountainous Southwest Virginia. The Department estimated the cost of completing Interstate 66 at $85,185,000; Interstate 81 at $26,228,000; Inter state 85, $29,205,000, and Interstate 95, $98,166,000. The cost of building the Interstate 295 partial beltway of Richmond was estimated at $80,635,000, while further work on the Interstate 495 beltway of Washington was set at $6,442,000. Additional work on urban spurs of the interstate system was estimated to total $52,320. 000. Flint Hill News Among those from out of the county here attending funeral services Monday for J. E.

Order Now for Trees, Says Forester Many forest landowners in the Northern Piedmont who went to considerable expense to prepare their land for tree planting may not get any trees unless they get their orders in soon. District Forester, D. G. Wllfong, Jr., says that 80% of the trees allotted by the Vi* ginla Division of Forestry to the Northern Piedmont have been sold as of Feb. 7. There are only 800,000 trees left for the landowners in this district and these are expected to go fast.

Today’s Health, the magazine of the American Medical Association, reports that true frostbite means that the tissues are frozen. Crystals of ice form between the cells. Nerves, muscles and blood vessel tissues are most susceptible. Frostbite can happen before you know it, and it isn’t necessary for the temperature to be excessively low. The wind plays an important role. The chilling effect of air at 20 degrees moving at 45 miles an hour is the same as 40below-zero air on a still day. One of the dangers of frostbite is that you often don’t feel it. First thing you know is that someone else notices that your ear or nose is turning white. The frozen part becomes hard to touch and loses feeling. Many sports leaders advocate a buddy system for outdoor winter sports: two persons are paired off, each watching the other for signs of frostbite. To prevent frostbite, first be certain that you sme properly dressed for the temperature. Avoid overexertion and excessive perspiration. Avoid contact of bare flesh with cold metal. Don’t drink alcohol or smoke. In first aid for frostbite, forget the old saw about rubbing the affected part with inow, and alto forget the completely invalid caution against rapid thawing. Alto, don’t manage or rub the frozen part. Don't touch it at all. Begin rapid rewarming as toon as possible. A hot bath is excellent, but avoid scalding. Hot wet towels will help, changed frequently and applied gently. If no lire or hot water is at hand, place the patient in a sleeping bag, or cover with coats and blankets. Hot liquids will help raise body temperature. For any frostbite, even a mild case, prompt medical attention is important. The depth and degree of the frozen tissue cannot be readily ascertained, and the treatment will vary with the severity of the injury. Dress properly and use common sense about exposure in severe cold, and most cases of frostbite can be avoided. 121167 fleeted credit upon himself and the United States Air Force. Sgt.
