Sportsmen, Join Up! By Irvin Kenyon, Jr. Game Warden With the days getting shorter and the nights being chilly, no one needs a calendar to realize that summer is starting to slip cooly into fall. Add to this a newly cut com field and the sight and sound of the whistling wings of a few mourning doves trading back and forth, and no one need tell the dove hunter it is time to get his hands on as much ammunition as he can find. This Saturday, September 7 at 12 noon, the 1968 dove season will be underway. Starting time this year will be 12 noon local time, which means daylight saving time in our case. Shooting must stop at official sunset. Sunset this Saturday will be 7:30 D.m. The dove hunting pamphlets with the sunset table used last year are not yet available. However, the federal regulations governing dove hunting and including Virginia’s seasons are available at the Clerk’s office in Washington. Again Virginia will have a split season. Opening this Saturday and closing on Saturday, November 2. It will then be closed until December 16 at which time it will open and remain open until December 28. As last year the daily limit will be 12 doves a day. Twelve is a right good pile of birds and no one should have any trouble laying his gun down after getting^ his limit then sitting backj watching his buddies knock down| a few —or miss a few. ; Madison County squirrel season j opened this past Monday with a real boom, or more correctly,! with a series of booms. Since the season’s first day was a holiday, an unusually large number of hunters turned out. An apparent strong comeback by the squirrels in the area accounted for fair to good success by most hunters. Anyone who likes early season squirrel hunting can slip down to Madison or Greene Counties through Saturday,' September 14. Rappahannock’s early season will open October 1. 34 Donors Report To Bloodmobile Attendance at the Red Cross Bloodmobile when it visited Rappahannock County 'Tuesday was off considerably from its last visit.

Election Deadline Nears The approaching election of ASC community committees for farm program administration in Rappahannock County was .announced today by H. S. Barksdale, Chairman, Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation ! County Committee. They are being held by mail in early September in all agricultural communities throughout the Nation in order to increase the awareness of this important farm-program function on eligible voters. The farmer-committee system is a unique means of administering national agricultural programs and policies. The community committees assist the ASC county committee in administering the price support, acreage diversion, agricultural conservation, and other farm-action programs in the county; they are particularly responsible tor keeping their neighbors informed about the programs. The county committee supervises the ASCS county office and is responsible for the administration of the various programs. The Chairman explained that ballots are being sent by mail to each known eligible voter. In case eligible voters fail to receive a ballot through the mail, the county office should be contacted to provide one. Generally, a farm owner, tenant, or sharecropper is eligible to vote if he is eligible to take part in one or more of the programs administered by the ASC committees, Eligibility to vote or to hold office as a committeeman is not restricted by reason of race, color, creed, sex or national origin. Envelopes containing marked ballots may be mailed or returned to the ASCS county office by September 17, 1968. BaHots will be tabulated publicly by the county committee September 19, 1968. The public is invited to witness the. vote counting. For each committee three regular members and two alternates will be elected. The chairman, vice chairman, and regular members of the elected ASC community committee will also serve as delegates to the county convention to be held later this month. The alternate committeemen will also serve as alternate delegates to the convention. Delegates to the convention will elect farmers to fill vacancies on the ASC county committee and they will also determine which of the regular county committeemen will serve as chairman and vice chairman for the coming year. Questions on eligibility to vote and to hold office or on the election procedure will \>e determined by the ASC county committee subject to appeal to the ASC State Committee. Library Trustees \ Seek Paid Librarian The heavy load of processing and cataloging donated and purchased books at Rappahannock Library requires more time than volunteers are able to give. This is the finding of the Trustees at their annual meeting held last week. They also i noted a marked progress in the! overall library Service to the community. Numerous new and fine works have been given or purchased recently. Our Virginia history shelves are becoming comparable to some of the best libraries in the State. The Trustees voted to seek out a man or woman who has had some library experience or is; willing to be trained for the job! to work w ith the volunteers and j gradually take over thej responsibility of the whole library j service. He or she will have j volunteer assistance, the Board! will provide guide lines, and the! newly formed group, known as The Friends of the Library, will back him or her in promoting new and interesting library projects. I This is to be a part time job, j involving three or four days a week, A modest salary will be paid Some of the work can be done at home, but the greater part of three working days should be put in at the library. The Trustees wish to express publicly a deep appreciation for the work done to date by all the volunteers who have brought our library to its present state of efficient service to the community. Special thanks should be given to Mrs. R. E. | Patzig and her group of helpers for the excellent and most 1 dedicated service they have! rendered the people of; Rappahannock through the library. Few rural libraries have ever done so well with so little in so short a time. The Trustees are grateful. Should anyone feel qualified or wish to qualify for this job, or if they know anyone interested in library service on a part time basis, please contact Mrs. Patzig, 987-3781, or any of the Trustees as soon as possible.

State Asks Counties For Safety Comm. John T. Hanna, Director of the Virginia Highway Safety Division, announced that an August 28 meeting with, the 11 Highway Safety Commissioners produced recommended guidelines for the establishment and operation of local traffic safety commissions. The 1968 General Assembly enacted a law requiring all cities and counties to establish such commissions for the formation of highway safety programs which will qualify for financial aid under the Federal Highway Safety Act. There are 96 counties and 37 cities. The recommendations are: 1. The name of the commissions shall consist of the name of the political subdivision followed by “Highway Safety Commission.” This is to avoid confusion where local safety councils exist and will continue to operate separately from commissions. 2. The enactment of an establishing ordinance is preferred. 3. Commissions should consist of from five to nine members. By law, one member must be a member of the local governing body, as County Board of Supervisors or City Council. 4. Representatives of the local school organization and medical service should be members. - 5. Either a police officer, public safety officer, judge or traffic engineer should be a member. Other members should be prominent citizens. 6. Towns of more than 5,000 population within counties should have representation. 7. By law, commissions must meet four times annually and. terms of commissioners must be staggered. 8. A secretary or coordinator should be appointed to take minutes and keep abreast of More American homes are heated with Mobilheat than with any other heating oil!

So many friends have left us To cross the Jordan tide They are crossing one by one--”etc. It used to make the passing of a friend a little more endurable to hear a competent male quartet render that song. Seems that is passe, now. Singing, that is. The passing of those dear to use leaves a void that nothing can fill. “Gone on before.” “Waiting at the end of the trail.” “Walk slowly down the trail, I’ll follow soon.” Trite and empty phrases when the heart is breaking. I like to think that out there somewhere, in the sunshine of God’s eternal love, they are waiting. Sometimes ‘when the wind down the river is fair’ we can almost catch a glimpse of them waiting on the shore, hear the beauty of their singing. For Our Customers’ Convenience . . .

Hie work begins in the field where inspectors of the apple and peach section under J. H. Henley visit over 900 commercial orchards across the state and pick apples from trees selected at random. These are immature medium size apples about 2-1/4 to 3 inches in size. Henley pointed out that apples are picked by-and-large from the lower part of the tree, where liquid may accumulate. Many orchardists apply pesticides by spraying them on in a very fine mist by air blast on the ground although, with the increase in orchard size the use of crop dusting planes is coming more and more into vogue. There are many types of pesticides used in the orchard but all are controlled, not only by formulation testing in the laboratories before they are used, but by the spraying schedule for each type of pesticide established by USDA and VPI. Some types must not be applied within 60 days of harvest. This year inspectors will be picking more apples because this is expected to be a good year for this delicious Virginia fruit. It is anticipated the crop will be 13 percent above the small one of 1967 andl percent above average-that’s 417,000,000 pounds or 9,000,000 bushels. Meanwhile, back at the laboratories, the apples gathered by the inspectors accumulate for - tests, samples come in at tne rate of 100 to 150 per day, for about 6 weeks, and each must be tested prior to harvest and processing. Leo M. Cox, Jr., technical coordinator of the pesticides laboratory section, and his staff of chemists and assistants start by stripping the apples. “This process,” explains Cox, “is a matter of taking the pesticide off the surface or skin of the apples with solvents. After we take two pounds of apples and wash them off, the solution is cleaned up and concentrated. We come down to about a teaspoon full of solution to use for final analysis, which is generally done on the gas chromatograph, where we compare me amount oi pesticide residue in the test solution with a known amount of standard and convert our findings to parts per million on the original apple sample.” The search gets harder every year as the field of pesticides is constantly changing toward less residual pesticides and the laboratories are finding less and less residue. The amount of each pesticide allowable on food is set by the Food and Drug Administration based on its toxicity and how much should remain when used as directed on a particular crop. “With apples,” says Cox, “we check for many pesticides with very small tolerances; using DDT as an example, the tolerance allows any amount up to 7 parts per million. By law, this is the maximum that will be tolerated on apples. However, we find very Burke-Rector Guests Among those attending the Burke-Rector wedding from out of the county were Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Rector, Mr. and Mrs. Melville Rector and Mrs. Marylee Ashby, all of Marshall; Mr. and Mrs. Edward F.

In fact this past year I don’t think we found a single apple sample that was over tolerance with DDT.” When asked if this could be harmful, Cox replied, “Even if there was 100 times that amount of DDT, it would not be harmful. When these tolerances were set up, they were established with a large safety factor.” It might be pointed out that if you measured the distance from Richmond to Ashland in inches, one millionth part would represent just one inch or one drop in 100 pints of liquid - of your choice. This search for such small amounts of residues requires constant work by highly trained personnel with specialized equipment. So even immature apples can be of some use, and the peeling that many throw away is sought after by the laboratories to protect the consumer. As the reports are completed, copies are sent to the grower. With this information, he can be sure that his apples are not over contaminated with pesticide residue and therefore, marketable throughout the world. For over 30 years this service has been provided the apple industry in Virginia. From the inspector in the field to the chemist in the laboratory, the work assures consumers that high standards are set and maintained on one of Virginia’s most delicious crops.

ON THE BY-PASS WARRENTON, VA. Phone 347-1400 Red Cross Warns On Lightning Bolts “The Bolt that never sleeps, Thunder with breath of flame” -- that’s lightning, Mother Nature’s busiest problem child. According to the Environmental Science Services Administration (ESSA), it strikes the earth 100 times each second, sometimes carrying current peaks of 200,000 amperes or more. It provides the pyrotechnics for some 1,800 thunderstorms that are estimated to be in progress over the earth’s surface at any given moment. And it kills. Sad to relate, most of the lightning deaths that occur in the United States each year could easily have been avoided, says John T. Goetz, Eastern Area director of the American Red Cross Safety Programs. Moreover, many of those struck by lightning could have been saved, if their companions had known how to save them, he believes. He will also throw in the story that, if you are quick-witted, you may actually be able to “dodge” a lightning bolt. Believe this too, because it would save your life, as pointed out below. reopie in open areas, rooi tops, golf courses, or who are in or on the water are in special danger prior to a thunderstorm and during that storm,” states Mr. Goetz. The danger from lightning is greatest just before the storm, so the best course of action is to get out of the open when those dark, rolling, cumulonimbus Soc. Sec. Info Medicare beneficiaries may now apply for reimbursement of doctor bills whether or not the bills have actually been paid, said Hazel F. Daly, District Manager, of the Winchester social security office. Mrs. Daly went on to say that this method of reimbursement of expenses was included in the 1967 Social Security Amendments. Prior to this change, the beneficiary could claim payment only if his bills had been paid. Mrs. Daly explained there are now three ways by which doctor bills may be reimbursed by Medicare: (1) The doctor may accept assignment by billing the Medicare carrier for that part of his charge covered by the medical insurance program, (2) The patient may pay his bill and include an itemized receipt along with his claim for reimbursement, ■(3) The patient may submit an itemized bill along with the request for reimbursement even though the bill has not been paid. Because many older citizens are unused to completing the necessary form to claim reimbursement Mrs. Daly urged those filing Medicare claims for the first time to contact the social security office for help in completing the claim. The office is at 20 S. Cameron St., Winchester, Va. We Can Supply AH Your CULPEPER BUILDING & SUPPLY CORP. Phone VA5-8383 Culpeper, Va Can Us For Shengas Corp. Phone ME-5-3556 Front Royal, Pa.

Because many golfers are reluctant to do this, it is understandable that annually a large percentage of persons struck by lightning are golfers. The fellow taking one more stroke on the open terrain sets himself up as the tallest object -- even without steel club upraised - and when he does seek shelter it is often beneath a lone tree, a natural and frequent target of lightning. “No matter what your game,” declares Goetz, “it’s a dangerous one when it puts you in the path of electrical storms. The best first aid is preventive, but if, for one reason or another, you are caught in a storm and a companion is struck by lightning, remember first that he carries no electrical charge and can be handled safely. The next step is to administer correct first aid for either shock or burns or both.” Mouth-to-mouth resuscitation is the most effective method to non-breathing lightning victim, according to Mr. Goetz. Keep him warm, try not to contaminate any burns, and get an ambulance there as soon as possible. Mr. Goetz cites the following thunderstorm safety procedures recommended by ESSA: 1. Protect your home with a properly installed and maintained lightning protection system. 2. Stay away from open doors or windows, fireplaces, radiators, stoves, metal pipes, sinks, and plug-in electrical equipment like radios, television sets, lamps, and refrigerators. 3. Do not use plug-in electrical equipment like hair dryers, electric toothbrushes, or electric razors during an electrical storm. 4. Do not use the telephone — lightning may strike telephone lines outside. If you’re out of doors: 5. Don’t work on fences, telephone or power lines, pipelines, or structural steel fabrication. 4’H-ERS ALERT TO AUTO SAFETY DRIVING HAZARDS “Will my son or daughter become a 1968 automobile accident statistic?” Parents of teenage drivers would like to be sure the answer is a decisive NO! But they can’t be sure. Deaths from motor vehicle accidents are at a peak period right now and will increase month-by-month through December. This prediction is based on estimates made by the National Safety Council for a similar period last year. For the first six months of 1968, motor vehicle accidents caused 25,200 deaths and 900,000 disabling injuries, according to the Safety Council. This was an increase of 6 percent over the same neriod last vear. How to reduce this terrible toll? One thing parents and young drivers can do is get into a 4-H Automotive Safety program. Nearly 57,000 girls and boys are enrolled. Parents help by volunteering as project leaders. This program supplements driver education in school and other driver training efforts. Its primary purpose is to develop the right attitude toward safe driving. In so doing, youngsters learn what makes an auto “go” and how the “go” can be safely maintained. The Cooperative Extension Service supervises 4-H Clubs and projects, promotes community auto safety campaigns and helps to prepare the pre-driver for a driver’s license. Parents, traffic officers, safety and highway engineers, and auto dealers help this all-out 4-H effort. 'BringEroBac/v The Firestone Tire & Rubber Company is national sponsor of the 4-H Automotive Safety program. The company provides incentive awards annually in recognition of outstanding individual and community achievements. Here are a few tips offered by Fred Bergsurd, extension agricultural engineer at Kansas State University; (1) Drive defensively. Condition your mental reflexes to expect dangerous accident situations just as you have conditioned your reflexes in steering, breaking and accel erating. (2) Drive courteously. It pays immediate and continuous dividends. (3) Keep the whole traffic scene in view . . . not just the car ahead. (4) Don’t drive if you are irritated or fatigued. (5) Keep your car in shape at all times. For more information about the 4-H Automotive Safety program, contact the County Extension office or a local Firestone dealer. Inquiries also can be directed to Donald E. Osburn, National 4-H Service Committee, 59 E. Van Buren (St., Chicago, 111. 60605. 6. Don’t use metal objects like fishing rods and golf clubs. 7.

If no buildings are available, your best protection is a ditch, cave, canyon, or under head-high clumps of trees in open forest glades. 12. When there is no shelter, avoid the highest object in the area. If only isolated trees are nearby, your best protection is to crouch in the open, keeping as far away from isolated trees as the trees are high. ^ 13. Avoid hilltops, open spaces, wire fences, metal clotheslines, exposed sheds, and any electrically conductive elevated objects. And here’s where you can “dodge” that lightning bolt: . 14. If you feel an electrical charge — if your hair stands on end or your skin tingles " lightning may be about to strike you. Drop to the ground immediately. “Knowledge of what to do when people have stopped breathing because of electrical shocks can save many lives,” Mr. Goetz says. “The Red Cross offers free first aid courses through its chapters. I wish golfers — or for that matter, anyone who leads an active, outdoor life — would invest 15 minutes of their time by paying a visit to the nearest Red Cross chapter to get the full story.” COAT DRESS —Wide wale cotton corduroy takes a horizontal route in this snappy coat dress of smoke gray.
