County Smoke Bill $154,000 How much cigarette smoking are residents of Rappahannock] County doing these days? To what extent, if any, have they been swayed by the health warnings issued during the last few years by the Public Health Service and others? According to the latest figures, most of them are smoking as much as they ever did. The average rate of consumption in the local area, for those 18 years af age and older, is 193 packs a year. By way of comparison, the average rate in the rest of the United States is 215 packs and, in the South Atlantic States, 220. Despite the many reports to the effect that there is a direct relationship between cigarette smoking and lung cancer, cigarette sales are on the rise. Nationally, according to a Department of Agriculture report, more than 550 billion cigarettes were smoked in the past year, or about 11 billion more than in 1966. On a per capita basis, this was equivalent to 4, 295 for every person over the age of 18. It was second only to 1963, when the average was 4,345 per person. In Rappahannock County, an estimated 568,000 packs of cigarettes were smoked in 1967, on the basis of regional statistics released by the Tobacco Tax Council. ine question ot smoking has been brought to the fore at this time by a new warning that goes far beyond anything said previously. The Public Health Service now claims that there is a direct cause-and-effect link between cigarette smoking and heart disease. It declares that there is strong evidence that heavy smoking contributes to or accelerates the development of coronary heart disease, the leading cause of death in the United States. It'warns that people in the 25 to 35 age group who smoke more than two packs a day face a shortening of life of about eight years. Even the light smoker can expect an appreciable diminution of his normal life span, it states. As to the cost of this pleasant pasttime, it adds up to a sizeable amount on an annual basis. Residents of Rappahannock County spent $154,000 during the past year for cigarettes, or about $52 per smoker, it is estimated. Red Oak Johnson Reunion Scheduled The annual reunion of the Red Oak Johnsons will be held Sunday, August 25 at the new fire house grounds in Sperryville. Missionary Society Meets With Mrs. Smith The members of the Missionary Society of the Reynolds Memorial Baptist Church, Sperryville met with Mrs. James Smith on Tuesday, August 20 in Culpeper. Luncheon was at the lx>rd Culpeper Hotel. Those attending were Mrs. J. Rodes Brown, Mrs W. H. Lyne, Mrs J. B. Perkins, Mrs. M. W. Brown, Mrs. Carlton Atkins and Mrs. Lester Deal. Getting in tune for the Amissville Firemens parade tonight are The Knightsmen, a combo of local youth who will add to the gala festivities with their music. The group is composed of Al Harrup, Ronnie Dennis, Arthur Pullen, Jr., David James, Carl James and Doug Larimer. The parade is scheduled for <5:;i() p.m. this evening, Thursday. Boundaries Set for ASC Com. Elections H. S. Barksdale, Chairman, Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation County Committee, today designated the boundaries of each community within the county where elections of ASC community committees will be held in early September. The elections will be by mail ballot. Ballots must be mailed or returned in person to the county office no later than September 17, 1968. Boundaries of the various communities where elections will be held are: Stonewall, Wakefield, Hampton, Piedmont and Jackson.

Funds Below Estimate Goal Income from State sources for Virginia’s highway program fell $2.3 million below estimates during the fiscal year which ended June 30, primarily because the 2 per cent motor vehicle sides and use tax did not produce as much revenue as expected. 'Hie net deficit would have been larger except for the fact that income from the seven cents a gallon State lax on gasoline exceeded estimates by approximately $3.3 million.

RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At Washington, Rappahannock County, Va. Telephone: WASHINGTON 675-3349 MRS. SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Entered as 2nd Class Mail at the P. O. at Washington, Va. Subscription Rate (in advance): $2.50 per year in Rappahannock and adjacent counties; $3.00 elsewhere. Rapp-Chats By \V. H. I->ne Extension Agent, Agriculture Three hundred and forty Rappahannock calves were weighed and graded last Friday and MOnday and Tuesday of this week in nine herds enrolled in the official BCIA program. While we didn’t get to see all the calves, generally they appeared to be bigger ’n better than a year ago. Also, we got to see the young bulls on feed test at Ray Cannon’s. This is a nice set of bulls that are doing remarkably well. Go see, while there take a look at the head man in the herd. We call him a right kind to head a commercial herd. In fact he looks a lot better in his working clothes than many bulls do in name-herds. ++++++++ Mrs. Irvin Sisk asked that 1 check her dogwood tree.V.P.I.’s plant disease clinic diagnosed the trouble as Anthracnose and Seproria leaf sopt. Both may be controlled with Captan, or Maneb. Contact us for detais, if you should have this trouble. 4- 4- 4- +4- 4- 4- 4 Those who failed to consign yearlings to the Madison County Sale may wish to put them in the Fauquier Sale to be held at Marshal] September 13th. A copy of this sale’s regulations may be seen at this office. ++++++++_ Don’t get excited about making ensilage again this year. With all the rain we’ve been having, com will be maturing later than usual. Await for the hard dough stage of grain development; check kernels with that thumb nail! ++++++++ Fall is by far the safest time to spray for chemical weed control. If you are depending on custom spraying, you’ll be smart to contact your man now to get on his books for a late October or November spray job. Remember: temperatures should be warm (60 degrees +); little or no breeze; low pressure-low gallonage equipment used; and above all you must have a competent man on the vehicle doing the job. ++++++++ A minister in Maryland has expressed interest in his congregation picking apples in Rappahannock to add to their “building fund.’’ Such might develope into real help to our growers and to the church’s cause. We have offered the minister an apple school provided 20-30 members of his congregation are interested. ++++++++ The Winchester Feeder Pig Sale is sponsoring a Pviebred Boar and Commercial Gilt Sale at tfie Clarke County Fair on Thursday, August 22nd at 7:30 p.m. There will be 5 purebred boars, 20 open gilts and 7 bred gilts included in the offering. ++++++++ “Horseman’s Handbook,” V. P. I. Publication 147, June 1968 has just been received and is a lu lu. We like it! Much information, including sketches dimensions, is found here. No matter whether you have just a couple or umpteen horses there are stable floor plans. Also, details of tack room, bridle and saddle racks, Blacksmith's tool box, a twitch, saddle cleaning rack, equipment box suitable to take to horse shows (also doubles as seat), types of jumps, show ring, fences, salt bosex, etc. etc. Write or call for your copy. Grasshoppers are with us again. Though not expected to do extensive damage, they do pose a problem in concentrated areas. Ray Cannon has 60-80 per sq. yard according to Bill Allen, Economics Insect Detecting Service, VPI, who visited various sections of the county with your Agent on Tuesday. Sevin is the best insecticide to use in home gardens, however it must be applied daily due to its short-lived effectiveness. Malathion @‘4 lb. per acre is also effective, however application before harvest varies with practically every different vegetable: Com - 5 days, tomatoes - 3 days. Check the label carefully. tttnttt We know of no herbicide that is 100% effective in controlling weeds and/or grasses. Have heard there are at least fourteen factors varying in their behavorial reaction which effect a plant’s biological reaction to chemicals. The amount of humus of the soil, soil temperature, soil moisture, porosity of the soil, soil bacteria, stage of maturity of the plant, and air temperature are some of these factors. Sutan apparently did little or no good when applied under ideal conditions at Jim Massie’s in an attempt to control nutgrass in com. The same material, applied in the same manner, the same week, and by eyeball examination, under the same | condition got almost perfect results in Powhatan County. Why? 1 don’t know. j At General Noce’s, we applied: ! several chemical combinations, j | While I haven’t as yet received i j Mr. Kates’ fall evaluation report, the General told me Mr. Kates 'advised him it was not 'worthwhile for him to use) Atrazine on his farm, however! j “one materia] did seem to do a i | much better job than others.” 1 can only conclude that Iseldom “pat” “cure-all,” ‘‘surefire’’ herbicide I recommendation be made as yet. I Also, I’d guess that in many, if; j not most cases, herbicides are j j economically as effective and' likely more effective than the hoe. I Can you farmers afford to go back to the hoe? For sure when the chemical doesn’t work, the only thing one can do is jump in and start the cultivator to work before the row crop gets too big and before weeds completely take over. Highway Funds— (Continued from Page 1) road-building revenue, produced $129,469,000, topping the estimated $126.3 million by 2.5 per cent. It was the second successive year in which highway income had fallen below estimates chiefly because the sales and use tax, with which the State had no prior experience, didn’t yield as much! money as anticipated. In 1966-67, the year-end deficit amounted to $7.9 million, half of which was covered by the State Highway Commission before it made allocations for 1968-69. Hie original $7.9 million deficit was further reduced by savings in the maintenance budget and unspent balances from other State agencies which rely partly or in full on road-use taxes for support. Thus, the present deficit, including the $2.3 million resulting from the fiscal year just ended, amounts to $5.6 million. The amount will have to be repaid by the Commission before it makes further allocations to the various highway systems, reducing the sum that will be available for construction projects. In another step toward adjustment, the amount estimated to be available from the motor vehicle sales and use tax during 1968-69 has been reduced to $21 million. Net revenue from all State sources for the highway program last year totaled $196.9 million. The principal sources, besides the gasoline and sales and use taxes, are the motor vehicle license, title registration and operators’ permit fees. In addition, Virginia received $125.2 million in federal funds during the past year, the bulk of which was earmarked for interstate construction projects.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE « Watch for the Cereal Leaf Beetle The cereal leaf beetle, a serious pest of small grains, has been found for the first time in West Virginia and Kentucky, the U. S. Dept, of Agriculture reports. The beetle has been found in Wood and Hancock Counties, West Virginia and in Boone and Pendleton Counties, Ky. The States are taking necessary regulatory action to prevent spread from these infestations. This spring the beetle has also been found for the first time in Shelby County, 111. and Crawford County, Pa. The cereal leaf beetle-in both adults and larval stages—is extremely destructive to oats, wheat, and barley. A joint Federal-State control program, started in 1963 to suppress cereal leaf beetle populations, has kept damage to a minimum and has slowed the rate of spread. Agents in counties bordering Kentucky, and West Virginia should remain alert to possible infestation of the insect in fields of oats and other small grains. A description of the insect follows: The adult cereal leaf beetle is about 3/16 inch long; the male is slightly smaller and narrower than the female. Wing covers and head are a metallic, bluish black. The legs and the front segment of the thorax are red. The eggs are cylindrical, rounded, and less than 1/16 inch long. Newly laid eggs are yellowish, but the color darkens to almost black before they hatch. The larva is slightly longer than the adult, and resembles the Colorado potato beetle larva in shape. The head and legs are brown-black; the body is yellowish. The larvae usually is covered by a globule ol fecal matter that obscures its coloration except for the head and legs. The pups, when removed from its earthen cell, is enveloped in a thin, transparent membrane. Its coloration varies from a bright yellow when it is first formed, to the coloration of the adult just before emergence. In North America, several species of leaf beetles closely resemble the cereal leaf beetle; the asparagus beetle is one example of a similar species. However, the cereal leaf beetle differs from these other species in that it feeds only on cereals and related grasses. Also, the combination of color patterns of the adult cereal leaf beetle. described here, is not present in the other similar species. If you find insects damaging small grains which resemble the i one described above, contact the Extension Office at once. !

Changes Made in Virginia Egg Law The new Virginia Egg Law, which became effective on July 1 of this year, differs from the old statute in that it stipulates that no person shall advertise eggs for sale unless the identifying information such as grade, size, and quality are printed in letters at least half as high as the tallest letter in the word “EGGS” or the tallest figure in the price whichever is the larger, other changes require: (1) eggs labeled grade A and AA to be kept at a temperature below 65 degree F. and a satisfactory relative humidity.

There are many definitions. Let’s examine a few. Life is a state of being; the period during which a person or thing exists. Some students were asked to define life. One said, “Life is a joke on us, not even funny.” Another, “Life is a disease, the only cure is death.” and, “Life is a prison sentence imposed on us for the crime of being bom.” A witty sage type says, “Oh, don’t worry about life, I you’ll never get out of it alive.” a' Persian poet penned these lines.... “Into this Life, and why not knowing Nor Whence, like water willy-nilly flowing; And out of IT, as wind along the WASTE, I know not WHITHER, willy-nilly, blowing.” Anyway, after life-WHAT? Some refer to life as a pilgrimage. “Pilgrims in a foreign land.” “I’m a pilgrim here, just passing through.” John Bunyon’s pilgrim had his tribulations, we all do. Pilgrims are travelers that have an end in view. When will our pilgrimage end, what is our final destination?

WHITE&COMPANY “THE WHITE SHOP” Culpeper, Virginia Improvements in Medicare Program The social security amendments of 1967 have made many changes and improvements in the medicare program according to Hazel F. Daly, social security District Manager in Winchester. One important change, Mrs. Daly stated, is that more people will be eligible for hospital insurance benefits. Under the old law, people who reached 65 in 1968, and were not entitled to monthly social security or railroad retirement benefits, could not get hospital insurance benefits unless they had 6 calendar quarters of coverage or about 112 years of work under social security. Now, under the new law, this requirement had been reduced to 3 calendar quarters or about 9 months or work. The amount of work needed to qualify for hospital insurance benefits after 1968 increases by 3 quarters each year. Eventually, for those reaching 65 in future years, the amount of work required for hospital insurance protection will be the same as that required for monthly cash benefits. However, if you qualify for monthly benefits as a dependent or survivor of an insured worker, you will not need any work under social security. Play it safe. If you’re nearing 65, tet. in touch with your social security office and get the facts Mrs. Daly further explained that persons who plan to continue working when they reach 65 should also apply within the three months prior to the month in which they have their 65th birthday. By applying for social security, they will be covered by hospital insurance and can make their decision on voluntary medical insurance coverage. Later on, when they retire or have reduced earnings which will permit payment of benefits, monthly checks can be started without delay. The Winchester social security office is located at 20 S. Cameron St. Hours are from 8:45 to 5:00, Monday through Friday. OBITUARIES Mrs. Elizabeth S.

If you wish to sign one of these petitions, please contact Archie Clatterbuck, Amissville, Virginia, phone Culpeper 9374416. A-N-N-U-A-L FIREMEN’S AMISSVILLE, VA.

Can you recognize and accept your own uncertainities, mistakes, fears? Do you understand how feelings and attitudes influence your actions? Do you know what your real values are? Do you accept and enjoy what you recognize within yourself rather than reject yourself? Are you realistically self-confident? If you can honestly answer yes to all of these then you pretty well understand yourself. If there are several “nos” then maybe we’d better take a closer look at ourselves and try to correct this situation. HILLSDALE DRIVE-IN THEATRE WASHINGTON, VA.
