Marsh, Jr., said Monday night that “cooperation and a close working relationship between the outgoing Administration and the incoming Administration is vital to U. S. and free world security. The orderly transfer of power is one of the great advantages of the American system and is one of the great weaknesses of any Communist nation.” The Seventh District Congressman spoke at Veterans’ Day ceremonies in his home community of Strasburg, sponsored by the American Legion Post 77. “Events on the national and international scene happen rapidly,” the Congressman observed. “Suddenly, an area that has been relatively calm suddenly erupts, as we saw not long ago in the Middle East and recently in Czechoslovakia. The handling of a crisis on the international scene requires a prompt response.” Mr. Marsh continued: The next two months until the new President is inaugurated are a crucial time and therefore, it is vital that there be not only 4 full disclosure and exchange of information, but consultation with the incoming President and his advisers who will have the duty of following up on any obligations we have undertaken or keeping any commitments we have made. “I am confident this type of relationship is being established. It is a healthy thing, not only for the nation, but it impresses the rest of the world when they see this display of bipartisan unity by America. Hiis unity is the best deterrent we have to Sino-Soviet aggression during this change-over period.” Area 14 Gets New Office Building A new headquarters building for Area 14 of the Department of State Police has been constructed in Luray. Tliis area includes Page, Rappahannock and Shenandoah counties and has Sgt. L. Kay an as its supervising officer. Troopers who work out of this office are W. A. Buntin and J. B.

The new headquarters contains a large front office and sergeant’s office, two supply and storage rooms, rest rooms. Plans in the future include a nicrowave installation and teletype. Winter Came Early This Year Winter came early this year. There was a preview on Sunday and the grand opening was held Tuesday. From a trace to a couple of inches of snow fell Sunday but most had disappeared by nightfall. Early Tuesday morning snow fell fast and furious and was accompanied by gale winds. Accumulation was from two inches to a foot, depending upon the area. The wet heavy snow crippled communications as wires and poles fell under their burden. Electric power lines snapped from their thick coating of ice and the numerous tree limbs which fell on them. Linemen worked all day and most of the night and electricity was restored to Washington about 10:30 Wednesday morning. Television antennas fared badly in the winds and fireplaces were the latest means of cooking. County office buildings were closed Wednesday morning for lack of heat, as well as many business establishments. Snow ranged from a couple of inches at Washington to a foot on either mountain. The Front Royal mountain did not become impassable nor was there any bad traffic tie-up. The Panorama Mountain section was hazardous and a number of vehicles became stranded, and rescued. Hie mountainsides were a white lacy wonderland as the damp snow clung to every branch and twig, and the trees bowed and nodded together overhead. Local Population Tons Heavier New York, Nov. 9 - What the average Rappahannock County resident should weigh, for proper health, and what he does weigh are two quite different things, it appears. Under the standards ^recommended by medical authorities, the local population is tons overweight. It has been accumulating much of the extra poundage during the last decade or two. Tlie problem is a general one. Estimates place the number of Americans who are overweight at about 40 million, or one out of every five persons. Their annual outlay for reducing pills, for medical treatments, for special foods and the like, in their quest for slimness, comes to more than (Continue on page 6) Mr. and Mrs. Sung-Pil Han and children Nancy and Walker were among the more than 400 people who attended open house Sunday afternoon at Rappahannock County Elementary School. Nancy is a first grade student at the school and lives with her family at Woodville on Hawthorne Farm, owned by Walker Stone. Mr. and Mrs. Han are from South Korea and have been in Woodville for about 18 months. He showed slides to Mrs. Lyne’s first grade and Mrs. Moore’s second grade rooms showing life in Korea, their dress, homes, churches, culture, etc. They are pictured with school principal, Mrs. Mary Quaintance. General Hunting Season Opens Mon. Hie general hunting season in Virginia opens this Monday, November 18, 1968 which means almost everything will be in season. The major difference from last year is that doe deer are not legal until the last day of the season this year. Hiis will be Saturday, January 4, 1969 in Rappahannock and adjoining counties East of the Blue Ridge. For those hunting West of the Blue Ridge, November 30, will be a doe day. As last year turkeys will not be legal game in Rappahannock, Madison, or Greene counties this Fall. Also please note that in open counties, including Culpeper and Fauquier, the season does not open Monday, but will open December 16, 1968. Turkey season is now open West of the Blue Ridge and will close December, 17, 1968. Also a change from last year, bearded turkeys only may be taken East of the Blue Ridge. Hunt safely. Most accidents involve shotguns, most occur while hunting small game, most happen at ranges under 60 yards and most accidents happen on clear days in open cover. Three hunters had been accidently killed even before the small game season opened West of the Blue Ridge since July 1, 1968. Keep that muzzle pointed in a safe direction and be sure of your target. Hiere were no hunting accidents in Rappahannock County last year. Let’s keep it that way. All game except quail may be hunted in the snow. Since it appears that snow may be a factor opening day, let’s look at the law in respect to quail hunting, Hie intent of the law is to prevent the tracking of birds and shooting of birds when and where the snow is heavy enough to deny quail their natural defense of blending with their cover. They may not be huntedwhen, they can be tracked or when they stand out like “sitting quail” against a snowy background. Hie decision then must be made by the hunters at the time of hunting and in the particular area being hunted. Often the higher areas in the county can not be hunted when the lower portion can or even in a small area some field or slopes will be legal and others not. Use your good judgment and if in doubt take your dog to the (Continue on page 6) \ Fire and Rescue \ \ Squad Notes \ Rappahannock Rescue Squad took Mrs. Janies E.

First Thanksgiving Enacted at Berkeley Plantation Dec. 4th A costumed re-enactment of America’s First Thanksgiving will take place Sunday, November 24, at 1 p.m. at “Berkeley Plantation” in Virginia at the site pf the first official Thanksgiving In this country December 4, 1619. The service will be conducted with all possible authenticity. This event is sponsored annually by the Virginia Thanksgiving Festival, Inc., of which E. B. Pendleton, Jr., Richmond, is President. “Berkeley Plantation” is located on Rt. 5, between Williamsburg and Richmond. The band of 39 Englishmen, whose leader was Capt. John Woodlief, came ashore December 4, 1619, from the Margaret, a 47-ton, two-masted ship which set sail from Bristol, England, two and a half months earlier. They had come to these shores to claim for the proprietors of the Berkeley company the 8,000-acre tract of land, designated as “Berkeley Hundred,” granted to them by King James I. The Thanksgiving celebration of December 4, 1619, was observed in compliance with the proprietors’ instructions in the charter given Captain Woodlief that “the day of our ship’s arrival . . shall be yearly and perpetually kept as a day of Thanksgiving.” In 1956 descendants of Captain Woodlief erected at Berkeley a brick monument, bearing a tablet. Because the new amphitheatre now under construction at “Berkeley” will not be completed by November 24, only about 900 persons can be accommodated in the limited quarters available for the celebration. Persons who would like to receive an invitation to purchase tickets for admission to the re-enactment, the bountiful Thanksgiving dinner, and a tour of the mansion are asked to send their requests to the Virginia Thanksgiving Festival, Inc., Box 6223, Richmond, Va., 23230. Tickets will be sold on a first-come first-serve basis. Additional information may be obtained by calling Richmond 358-9869 or 355-8871. Those who attend will have an opportunity to see the progress of the work on the enlarged facilities which will be ready for next year’s event. The landscaping, which is near completion, will be as near as possible the way it appeared when the settlers arrived in 1619. There will be laurel and white flowering dogwood, and pine, sycamore, bayberry, cedar, willow oak, and magnolia trees. Around the stage will be clumps of river birch. “Berkeley Plantation” is owned by Mr. and Mrs. Malcolm Jamieson. The most popular profession for Presidents seems to be that of a lawyer. World Book Encyclopedia counts 23 lawyers among our 36 Presidents. Beagle Trials Set Nov. 16th The Beagle Dog Field Trials sponsored by the Madison County Wildlife Association Will be held Saturday, November 16, beginning 9:30 a.m. on the Ernest Yowell Farm near Madison on Route 652.

4 THE RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS, Washington, Va. Thursday, November 14, 1968 A Week In California Mias Annie Miller Almond (Continued from last week) After lunch we began our 17 mile drive to Carmel. First we came to Pacific Grove, which has been dubbed Butterfly Town. I knew the Monarch Butterfly is the only one that migrates, but I never heard of this town. Pacific Grove has the distinction of being the winter resort for tens of thousands or Monarch Butterflies who arrive every year in November and stay until the middle of March. They are reputed to come all of the way from Alaska and British Columbia. They head for a section of Pacific Grove where they alight on the Spanish moss hanging from tall pine and cypress trees. The town celebrates the annual event with a huge children’s parade, with youngsters in costumes of butterflies and [lowers, we passed a stone marker in honor of the Monarchs and here John told us that there is a fine of $500 or a jail sentence for anyone caught molesting them. Since John’s statement I have read the same from a book I bought. Tliis book has a picture of them hanging on the moss in the shape of a chandelier, in fact the picture is entitled “Butterfly Chandelier”. Hie drive took us through the Coif Capital of the World. Pebble Beach course owned by Del Vfonte-Monterey Golf Course, ind finally we came to a stop where we saw the Sea Lion Island out in the Bay. We not only saw out smelled the sea lions. We came to Carmel Bay to the nost photographic spot anywhere, the Lone Cypress at Midway Point on this drive. We came to the Cypress Golf Course near this point. Then we drove slowly by Bing Crosby Golf Course, which is beautiful. We saw the house that Bing Crosby sold for $14 million, according to John. We finally came to the little village of Carmel. It is quai.",i ;*r.»i claiming. It is the literary section of the state. No two homes are said to be alike. We were told that Carmel has no street light, no mail delivery and if a tree grows !in the middle of the street they detoyr around it. I visited one of the art studios and also went into a charming place for a refreshing drink. It was not easy for us to leave this little village with so short a visit. In fact some were late returning to the bus. We went back to Monterey where we spent | the night at the Casa Munras Hotel. I went to sleep with the low bark of the seals and I woke the next morning to their bark. We left Monterey at 9 a.m. The drive from here into Los Angeles was the most magnificent and thrilling I have ever had. We had the coastal range on our left and our road wound in every direction to follow this range and the water on our right. All of the days were beautiful, the ocean and Bay waters were just as calm as they could be. There were so many points of interest. We crossed Bigsby Creek Bridge over the world’s longest Creek. This bridge is 2000 feet above water.

T. V. WILLIAMS H. S. BARKSDALE E. M. JONES Directors Station. Oceanography is being studied then. Big Sur is a rural community living on what many believe to be the most beautiful coast line in the world. There is San Luis Obispo, the gateway to Highway one, the Hearst Castle and the scenic route to the Big Sur Country and the Montemy Peninsula. John told us that beginning October 1 the tours would stop at the Hearst Castle. I have pictures of it in a book I bought. We saw homes of movie stars and the two different places where the picture “The Sandpiper” was made. The road all the way is around the Coastal Range and right on the edge of the bank high above the ocean. Some of the group got somewhat upset by the ride, but this mountaineer just thrilled over it. We went to San Simeon where we had lunch at the San Simeon Lodge. We had been warned not to eat too much for we were going to stop at a Danish Village where they made the most delicious pastries. After lunch we went to the Exotic Gardens - here were all types of cacti. I got a picture or part or the garden. The owner had Norwegian Elk dogs. They reminded me of the Huskies, but they differ in color. They were pets and if one gave the dog a pat he had a follower for the tour time. On our further travel we saw a tanker out in the water taking on oil through pipes from the field to the ship. This was a shallow coast line so the ship could not come in closer. Finally we came to the real Danish Village at Solvana, Calif. This is the most attractive village. A windmill is right in the town. Had John not warned us that if we were not back to the bus on time we would be left there and our bags would be in Santa Barbara, we would have lingered here on and on. We were served the most delicious Danish pastries and coffee in their coffee shop adjoining their bake shop. The girl who served us was in costume with their type of wooden clogs. I wasn’t going to miss a trick, so I went to the wine cellar and tasted the Blackberry wine, but I was back to my bus on tinje. We had to leave out some of the lovely shops because of time. Then we left our Danish Village for Santa Barbara where we spent the night at the Miramar right on the ocean and yet there was ai heated pool right in front of my room window. Here I had a scare. Just as 1 was ready for bed, I had a long distance call. I went cold when I heard the operator call my name and then said This is a long distance call, go on please." If the man gave, rqk bis name 1 do not remember, but I did get that he was from the Parlor Tour Office in San Francisco. He told me their office (inside of the Jack Tar Hotel) had been robbed over the weekend and they were wiped out. He knew my travelers checks I had paid them for the tour were in the stolen lot. He apologized for disturbing me but he was trying to get any information that might give them a clue to the robbers. I had my serial numbers right at hand and I could give him all of the information needed from me. He said the Insurance Company office right by them had been robbed the same night. Then he told me of a robbery from his car directly in front of the hotel during the day. He was most appreciative for my assistance. He further said the checks would probably end in the trash can. I would like to know how such a robbery can go on inside of a big hotel like the Jack Tar. The next morning we toured the section of beautiful homes and gardens of Santa Barbara. We visited the Mission there and then went to some shops. Our John told us not to miss one where articles made by the Indians were sold. All of the shops were unique. As I got a check cashed John told the owner about the company’s loss and my checks. I was not made very comfortable Opening Tuesday...

The courthouse in Santa Barbara is the most beautiful of its kind. It cost 1V4 million when it was built in 1929. We left Santa Barbara regretfully. We passed a place called Santa Claus. We passed Ventura where we saw another lemon grove and a field of pumpkins. We ate our last lunch on the tour at a place called the Colonial House, Tile food was delicious and the atmosphere charming. Our table was by a tree growing right on up through the roof and greenery growing all over the ceiling. When I got back to the bus John asked if I knew what was taking place in there, 1 didn’t, then he told me there was a retired teacher’s convention. Of course this was a California RTA. We reached a place in the road where it went through a hole in the Mountain Range. We' were told that the road around this point had caused so many accidents that the road was changed to go through the rock. We passed many places of interest on the outskirts of Los Angeles, and into the city. We drove to Malibu Beach Colony, Will Rogers Beach and Santa Monica. Here we left the beautiful ocean for the Santa Monica Freeway and then the San Diego Freeway. We went onto Sunset Blvd., where the University of California and UCLA were pointed out to us. Also the late Jean Harlow’s home now owned by the family named Kitchens and the late Jane Mansfield home were pointed out for us. Then we went to Beverly Hills where we saw the Beverly Hills Hotel, Schwabs Old Pharmacy. Then we went on Sunset Strip passing Playboy Club, Dino’s Lodge, Continental High House at one time belonging to Gene Autry, Screen Actor’s Guild, Preview House. Then on we went to Hollywood and the Roosevelt Hotel where we said goodby to some of our group. We went to Hollywood and Vine, turned right on Hollywood and Vine where on our left was Capitol Records building. We passed right by the Paladium where a huge sign hung with a big picture of Lawrence Welk moving his baton up and down. Then on to Hollywood Freeway we went. The Parlor Tour of 5 days ended at the Biltmore Hotel. Here all of us said goodby and had to battle our way to our own hotels. I was the only one going to the International Hotel, so I had to fide a half hour longer on a coach driven by the rudest man I ever heard. He was so rude to a lady who had gone too far from her place of stopping. I thought how different from the driVets with whom I had contact, and thus I was especially glad not to be staying long in Los Angeles. I spent the night at the International Hotel. When I looked from my window the next morning I could see nothing for what I thought was smog, but it was eally fog. All incoming and outgoing planes had been grounded since midnight and were still grounded. My plane was due to leave for Dulles at 9 a.m. but it didn’t leave until 10, however we were lucky that the sun came through so we didn’t have any longer wait. The flight was pleasant, I actually snapped pictures from the window when flying over Amarillo, Texas and Oklahoma City. While the portion of the wing was plainer than anything else, I had taken a picture from the air. When I got into Dulles how happy I was to see Betty Coates, Susan Coates, and Mrs. Louches. I was sorry I was late for Sharon Snead and children had been ifl'HUM*SMOKlKCi OSM0 fROW tun mu is utfOAi j HUPPREVENT FOREST FH?E$ Chief Forest Warden Raymond Johnson of Rappahannock County ask that hunters be very careful with all types of fire while enjoying the forest this year. While a large number of hunters understand the potential destructiveness of a forest fire there are always some who start fires through carelessness. During 1967 over 80 forest fires were started in Virginia by hunters. there but had to leave to take Peyton to a meeting. It was good to see their familiar faces and to be this near home after three weeks away. I hope those who have read the articles and who have really traveled extensively have not been too bored. I also hope they will realize that these three weeks have given me so much pleasure that when I was asked to write the articles I felt that someone whose working life had prevented them from traveling might get an incentive to enjoy similar trips when their retirement comes. I want to acknowledge that this pleasurable trip was due largely to relatives and friends. Dr. Snead and Betty Coates pushed me all the summer. Betty did everything possible to see that the tour to Hawaii didn’t leave without me. I do appreciate her assistance. Lois Snead gave her aid when she loaned me a book and told me of the El Cortez Hotel. My neighbors and friends gave me joy with their mail waiting for me in different ports. I thrilled to the calls the night before 1 left. I knew also that anything that needed attention at home would have the proper attention. I had a wonderful trip as you have seen by these articles but I was delighted to get back to these people and our beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. There is no place I’d rather live than in Rappahannock.

Some playrooms or children’s bedrooms are like a toy store thrown into confusion. The child who must pull everything off the shelves or dig through a playbox to find what he wants is often so frustrated that he either ceases to carry out his idea or becomes destructive so he sweeps everything aside. Care must be taken to understand what is of value to the child. Many grownups want to throw out or label as “junk” those odds and ends which have significance to the young owner. His collections, his treasured old and battered toys, even his odd bits of things often lead to more creative play than those toys which adults feel are surely more appropriate. The young child is a creative being and uses all types of materials in imaginative ways. Dough made by a combination of flour, salt and water, provides excellent plastic material for a child to work with on rainy days. A little cake coloring adds zest to the experience. He can help measure the ingredients as he did in cooking and then spend hours sitting and shaping and re-shaping the dough. (See recipe below). Another messv but worthwhile 4 activity is finger painting. Finger prints can be made from liquid or cooked starch with food coloring added. Be sure to cover the floor or table with newspapers so that the mess will not bother you, or do as one mother did and set the material up on the outdoor picnic table. One of Daddy’s old shirts makes a good coverall for the child. Shelving paper or any glazed paper is satisfactory for this use. (I used freezer paper). Recipe follows. Play Dough 2 cups flour 1 cup salt Water 2 tablespoons olive oil food coloring Add water slowly to make a pliable mixture. Knead above ingredients and place in plastic bag. This dough, together with materials such as assorted cookie cutters for making a variety of shapes and with buttons for decorating features is a fascinating play material.

Inc. Phone ME 5-4191 Front* Royal, Ve. Heard a good sermon Sunday. The preacher took his text from Matthew, twenty-fifth chapter; using the Parable of the Talents. He didn’t say whether it was talents of gold, valued at $32,640, or silver which would have a value of $2,176. The value of the talents was not accentuated, but the servant who did not use his blessing, at all, bore the brunt of condemnation--an idle and wicked servant. It seems that to remain idle is one of the greatest sins one can commit. There is a verse in Genesis that says in effect, “By the shedding of your own perspiration shall you earn your bread.” There is a group now to whom the word BREAD has a new connotation. They do not earn it, this bread, but I understand that they perspire freely under their heavy clothing, phew. That is not relevant in this Instance, however. It is relevant that we have a society (?) in which such conditions exist and are more or less condoned. Inis Great Society encourages slothfulness, honest toil is not honorable any more. Nowadays we think of talent as an attribute of character. We say he or she has a talent for singing, making friends or attaining wealth. 1 wish I had a talent for singing, to sing of my Maker’s love in such a manner that souls would be lifted to new heights. I appreciate friends. I hope the ones I have will look beyond the NOW me to the potential of the THEN. I have no desire for wealth except to use it for good. I hope that when the Master comes the fractional talent I now possess will have grown. It may be that in His good grace, He will trust me NEXT TIME with a full talent. Card Of Thanks .

They should be based on an escape plan that features: 1) a floor plan indicating all doors, windows, stairways, porches and porch roofs, 2) alternate routes for escape from any part of the house or apartment, 3) practice drills both day and night so that every member of the family knows how to leave the premises in a hurry, 4) assignment of someone to help the very young and elderly to leave the premises, and 5) agreement on a meeting place outside the house where all must assemble. Aside from the drills, the Association makes a pointed reminder: “Remember! Fire prevention is your best fire protection!” Home fires, the Association says, claimed some 6,700 lives in the United States in 1967 -- 60 per cent of the victims being the very young and the very old.

Phone 825-2161 — New and Used Cars and Trucks — Social Security “Your surgeon’s bill for the month of June is not covered by the provisions of Medicare’s Medical Insurance because you did not sign up for this protection on time.” Hazel F. Daly, District Manager of the Winchester Social Security Office, advised that she does not like to make such a statement to any claimant, but unfortunately there are still some persons who do not sign up for Medical Insurance protection on time. When a person is approaching 65, he should contact his social security office in the three months before the month in which he reaches age 65, and file application for Medical Insurance protection so that the protection will start with the month he reaches 65. If he waits to file application until the month he becomes 65. the medical insurance protection does not start until the following month. If he delays filing his application until one of the three months after the month in which he becomes 65, there is even a longer period of time in which he will have no protection under the medical insurance provisions. If he waits more than three months after the month in which he reaches 65, he cannot sign up for medical insurance until the first three months of the following year and then there will not only be an additional period of no protection, but he may have to pay a higher premium rate. Therefore, even though a person approaching age 65 is still working and may not have any intentions of retiring, he should contact his social security office before the month he reaches 65, so that he may file a timely application for medical insurance protection under Medicare. Ihe office serving this area is located at 20 S. Cameron St. in Winchester, Va. Hours are from 8:45 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Special hours are from 9:00 a.m. until 12:00 noon on Saturday. If you would like to call for information, the phone' number is 667-1511. Local Popalation(Continued from Page 1) $370 million, it is estimated. On the basis of national studies on obesity, conducted by the Public Health Service, the Department of Agriculture and others, the average man in Rappahannock County tips the scale at about five pounds more than his father did at his age. Assumed is that the national rate of change applies locally. What it adds up to, for the 1,390 males in the local area over age 21, is some 6,950 additional pounds, or around 3.5 tons. As to the women, they have been putting on weight, also, but not to the same extent. Because they are more concerned with clothes and fashions than men are, when style dictates the slender look they proceed to diet and reduce. Despite their greater concern with weight, they are about four pounds heavier, on average, than their mothers were at their ages. For the 1,350 women in Rappahannock County over 21, the overall increase amounts to 5,400 pounds. The statistics show that women in the 18 to 24 bracket have gone from 112 pounds to 117 in the last 20 years and that those between 25 and 34 have gone from 127 to 134. Between 35 and 44 the change has been from 138 to 142 and, for those between 55 and 64, from 145 to 150. Only in the 45 to 54 group has there been a drop - 2 pounds. What is a person to do about his weight? Tlie experts maintain that the best way to cut down and to keep at the proper level is to step up physical activity and to make a permanent change in eating habits. H. O.
