Plan 20th Running Point-to-Point Races By Mary Jamieson At 12:30, Saturday, March 1, the starting flag will trigger off the twentieth running of the popular Rappahannock Point-to-Point Races. The course, on the east side of Route 522, 2 miles south of Sperryville, located on James W. Fletcher’s Thornton Hill Farm, is known as one of the sportiest courses of the Virginia Point-to-Point Circuit. The ups and downs of its rolling, mountainside terrain give a real challenge to steeplechasers horse and man (or woman) starting their racing season. Interest is running high in Rappahannock Hunt’s feature race, the Ben Venue, for gentlemen owner-riders, (who are members of recognized hunts.) The points accrued in this race count toward the determination of the best-owner-rider of the 1969 Virginia Point-to-Point Circuit, to be awarded the Seven Corners Shopping Center Bowl.

Following Rappahannock’s March 1 Ben Venue Race, the competition will be offered each successive Saturday in the Point-to-Points of Blue Ridge Hunt, Warrenton Hunt, Piedmont Hunt, Potomac Hunt, Orange County Hunt, Howard County Hunt, and Oatlands Point-to-Point. Snow, wind and cold are plaguing race preparations. Owners are hard up to it to condition their horses; however, they are a tough and optimisticlot, so 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 21, through Friday, February 28.

Extra We have been having some difficulty with phone service in Amissville for the past couple of weeks. Calls are invariably reaching the wrong number. I have had calls late ai night and early in the morning, getting me out of bed only to find they have reached the wrong number. The funniest story to come out of this occurred Saturday night during the sneaky snow storm. A young man who had a date with a young lady got hung up in the snow and tried to reach the young lady’s father by phone to explain that lie would be late returning the daughter to her home. He reached a wrong number, that of a local minister, and when he realized with whom he was talking, the young man said, ‘Please pra^ forj me, I’ve got Mr. So and So’s; daughter out and we’re hung up in the snow and I will be late getting her home. He isn't going1 to like that one bit." A woman was arrested for j making an “0" turn and pled that 1 she was making a “U” turn but! changed her mind. !

Elect More Officials In Rappahannock For its size, Rappahannock County has more elected officials on its payroll than do most communities across the country. . A comparative study of the governing process shows that tbe local area is administered by 26 elected officials, equivalent to 55 per 10,000 population. Throughout the United States, by way of comparison, the average number of elected officials at the local level is 26 per 10,000 people. The figures are from a report released by the Department of Commerce, based upon its recent Census of Governments. It is the first such survey since 1962. Nationally, it shows, there are 508,720 elected officials in local government positions. The North Central States, with about one-fourth of the total population, accounts for nearly half of them. Virginia has 3,444. In various parts of the country, it is found, the ratio of elected officials to population varies widely from the general average. The reason for it is that there are great differences in local government setups. In most of the South, for example, there is a comparatively simple governmental structure which makes no provision for organized townships. Also, their school systems commonly involve largei geographical areas than elsewhere are more widely administered by appointive rather than elective boards. Of the 26 elected officials serving Rappahannock County 17 are connected with the county itself and 9 with municipalities In localities where there are officials serving more than one unit of government, the totals have been adjusted accordingly All told, according to the I Panthers Break Loss, Win Over Page Co. The Rappahannock Panthers broke a five frame losing streak Friday nijrht with a 76-64 win over Page Countv at Washington. Bobbv Settle led all scorers with 30 points in his b>d to overtake Montevideo’s Terry Taylor in the District 10 scoring battle.

Garv Wa.vland had 22 points for the javvees while Bill Kilby added 9 — Tuesday night the Panthers, in one of their most exciting games of the season, were topped by District 10 leader Luray 79 to 70 at Lurav. A strong second half effort bv the Panthers, hitting 28 of 37 attempts from the charitv line, pulled them to within 10 of the Rulldocs several times late in |the third and fourth nuarters, after trailing Lurav 26-12 after one quarter and 46-29 at halftime. Rappahannock outscored Lurav 21-17 in the third period and 20-17 in the final quarter but couldn’t auite catch up. Wavne Deal, starting his second game after being out five ;weeks with a broken arm, led Panther scorers with 18 points and Settle pumped in 17. Milt Frve led all scorers for Luray with 21 points.

The event is sponsored by the National Wildlife Federation and its state affiliate, the Virginia Wildlife Federation, which represents about 50 wildlife and conservation clubs in the State. Conservationists are concerned over the loss of wildlife habitat through unbaniza t i on, industrialization and modern agricultural and forestry methods. Coupled with this trend are increases in pollution, litter and physical damage to natural areas by people, through vandalism, carelessness, or sheer numbers. TTie purpose of the 1969 Wildlife Week campaign will be to create an awareness of these losses in the ; hope that this trend can be stopped or at least slowed. Offices, directors and members of the Virginia Wildlife Federation along with game wardens and others in the conservation field will be in charge of local programs, exhibits and other educational events | during the week. Schools will be supplied with special classroom materials, speakers and other assistance. The State Wildlife Week Chairman is Maynard A. Nichols of White Stone, Virginia.

Winter crept in Saturday night in the form of a three to six inch snowfall in the county and was followed by gale winds Sunday night and Monday. To prove both, the photo above shows the chimney at the home of Mrs. Mary Updike in Washington which blew over Monday morning. When the chimney fell, it punched a hole in the side of the house and smashed in the roof and ceiling of the one story part of the house. Harry Russell Smoot and J. W. Clatterbuck dismantle the rest of the chimney so it can be rebuilt. Harvey came to our house - Below: Amissville seemed to get most of the snow and Sunday afternoon the Latham family displayed artistic prowess in the snow bunny built in the yard. Susan, on the stepladder, puts the finishing touches on the ears as Shannon Streagle finds a paw a good place to rest. Nancy Latham Hoadley offered the rabbit-carrots and David Hoadley awaits his turn for a bit of plastic surgery to the fine cool animal. Cattle Just Part Of Beef Operation The nature of raising beef cattle makes it an enterprise which can be easily fitted into many types of farming operations. Many people think of beef cattle as a large operation devoted to cattle alone. “Actually this is not typical of the beef cattle operations in Virginia,” said C.

A typical beef cattle unit in this state is that number of cattle that fits in with an overall farm operation composed of a number of projects. This is not thought of as diversification but a specialization in the use of land and resources, Mast said. Perhaps the weakest element in farm management is inefficiency in use of labor, crop resources and land. This, Mast pointed out, is where beef cattle fit in.

The proper size cattle unit in most cases will be that size necessary to use the pasture and roughage. This is the basis on which a large number of cattle exist in Virginia beef production. Often a farm has a specialty responsible for the larger amount of income, but has land available. By keeping »cattle extra income can be added. Cattle require some labor, but mostly during winter, Mast said. This is why they Tit in so well with a number of enterprises. The labor requirement comes at the time when other farm operations don’t need it. . In the summer cattle use pasture when the main enterprises require maximum labor. 165,797 Furs Taken | In Va. Last Season ‘ Virginia trappers sold 165,797 I pelts during the 1967-68 fiscal I year, according to reports |supplied to the Game ; Commission by fur buyers. Muskrat hides, although down considerably from last year, were still the most numerous item totaling 120,471 pelts. The fui catch also included 19,16C raccoon pelts, 10,048 deer hides. 7,247 opossum skins, 2,948 beaver pelts, 2,437 mink and 2,092 skunk pelts. Red and grey fox skins totaled 2,682 and 55S i otter pelts were taken during the ■ year. Only 4 nutria skins were 1 reported. The total fur harvest was agair down from the 270,766 reported last year. Much of the decreast was in the number of muskral pelts which are often bringing lesf than one dollar each on th< market. Most other fur specie; I were below the 1966-67 harvesi ' level also.

Orchard grass BLACKSBURG-With spring planting just around the corner, a Virginia Tech specialist has suggested using Virginia-grown orchardgrass over imported varieties. “A lot of Danish orchardgrass seed is imported into Virginia and this seed has proved inferior to our Virginia-grown orchardgrass,” said Robert L. Harrison, Extension seed specialist. Imported grasses have produced lower hay yields and do not live as long as Virginia orchardgrass, he noted. Tests here as well as at Orange Warsaw, Middleburg and Charlotte Court House have shown Virginia domestic orchardgrass averaging 2.9 tons of hay per acre while Danish origin seed averages 2.5 tons per acre. This could amount to as much as $12 per acre. Little difference in yield is usually seen the first year of cutting, but Virginia grass is preferred if the grass seed is to be left for a period of time, Harrison said. Orchardgrass is a popular coo) season forage grass in Virginia and is used in many other areas of the United States as well. It tolerates more heat and dry weather than Bromegrass or Timothy and generally is more palatable to livestock than fescue. Orchardgrass has good seedling vigor, produces good regrowth and is easily established without pastures for hay or silage. Virginia orchardgrass has been grown many years in northern Virginia and is well adapted to area climate and soils to give high performance. The 1968 seed crop in the state was relatively small and for this reason, Harrison said, it would be important to be sure to look at the origin of the seed prior to buying. The use of high yielding adapted varieties is always a basic step in good farm management, and when it comes to orchardgrass for Virginia farmers, this means Virginia-grown seed. Potomac is the only other variety of orchardgrass recommended Harrison said. State Responsible For Plant Inspection A cooperative agreement was signed today making Virginia responsible for the complete inspection of food warehouses and candy plants in the state. The document, signed by Maurice D. Kinslow, director, Baltimore District of the Food and Drug Administration and Maurice B. Rowe, commissioner of the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Commerce, follows earlier agreements concerning soft drink bottling plants, canneries, wheat and com mills. Said Commissioner Rowe: “This agreement is another example of cooperative efforts made by the federal government and Virginia to loffer the best possible services available to the consumer. We have developed over the years a very effective state inspection service with our state laws that are similar to federal inspection laws. Both FDA and VDAC will continue to explore areas for further cooperation to avoid any possible duplication of effort.” The agreement signed today is similar to one signed on January 31, 1968, when the VDAC food section entered into a momorandum of agreement with the district FDA for the total inspection of soft drink bottling plants, and on March 15, 1968 when that agreement was amended to include all canneries and wheat and corn mills in Virginia. Virginia Food Laws administered by VDAC are {similar to the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act administered by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration. TTie difference is that Virginia inspectors inspect foods manufactured or sold in Virginia and federal inspectors inspect foods in interstate commerce. Virginia will now have the i primary inspection responsibility ! for sanitation, adulteration and ! misbranding in all areas specified ! in the agreement of Virginia | produced food products to be I used inside or outside the state.

The Division is now in the process of preparing for mailing applications to owners of motor vehicles so that they can purchase 1969 license plates when they go on sale in March. Certain information is needed by the Division if you have changed your address since you last purchased Virginia license tags. On a postal card or letter state the following: your full name as shown on vehicle registration card or title, the Virginia title number, your 1968 license number if you have a current license tag, make and year model of vehicle, identification of engine number of vehicle, new address including zip code number, and old address.

The season on rabbit, squirrel, grouse and raccoon closed January 31. Quail may be hunted through this Saturday, February 15, 1969. The snow now on the ground should not stop any hunting with the possible exception of a few snow covered spots. Most areas are legally huntable. Also chances are the birds are going to stay out of the colder, snowy spots. Watch the North slopes and wooded areas and hunt away. The official legal deer kill for Rappahannock this past season was 86. The proposed Spring Gobbler season this year which includes! Rappahannock, is from Saturday, April 19 through Saturday, May 10. This is an additional Saturday from last year. Also a change from last year will be an additional 1 hour of hunting. Hunters must be out of the woods by 11 o’clock a.m., instead of 10 o’clock. Final action on the proposal will take place in Richmond on March 7, 1969.

Marsh, Jr., said in Winchester I’riday night that he felt one of the most urgent and pressing problems confronting Americans today is the growing problem of misuse of drugs, particularly among young people. “It is urgent that this have highest priority insofar as federal legislation is concerned in the 91st Congress,” the Seventh District Congressman said. Speaking to the Annual Banquet of the Winchester Volunteer Rescue Squad, Marsh said that the misuse of drugs, particularly marijuana, was a nationwide problem that was not limited to race nor class nor community. “In fact, the smoking «of marijuana, sometimes called ‘pot’ or ‘grass’, is plaguing middle-class families and is just as likely to be found in suburbia as in the ghetto,” Marsh commented He added: I “Educators are concerned about it, not only on the I university campus, but also at I high schools and even, in some jinstances, in junior high schools. “It is of mounting concern in the armed services, as evidenced by greater attention to this problem in defense publications and in statements by such civilian leaders as Secretary of the Army Quick Cherry Dessert h to H . njs 1 oan (1 It) j pitted sour < heroes , drained ' ..

Resor who indicated recently that defense officials were focusing greater attention on this problem. “The danger of the use of marijuana is creating a dependency on the drug and, secondly, is the first step toward possible addiction to what are called ‘hard’ narcotics. “It is necessary to take a new look at the question of illicit use of, and traffic in, drugs, and the answer is not to be found simply in passing more laws. Greater emphasis should be placed on education and rehabilitation, with stricter enforcement of narcotics laws on people who peddle drugs and are referred to as ‘pushers’. These are the people who should be prosecuted vigorously and punished. “There is a relationship between the spiraling crime rate and the use of drugs. In fact, the growing rate of theft, larcency and armed robbery is often tied in to drug addiction, in that an addict, to support his habit, will engage in crime as a source of income, inasmuch as it may cost him as much as $100 a day to buy drugs. This may mean stealing $500 in goods, which, when sold to a middleman, usually called the ‘fence’, will net the criminal about $100.” Marsh called for a broad, cooperative attack on this problem, coordinating not only all levels of government, but schools, churches, civic clubs and parents td help find answers to a growing American dilemma.

They serve as a reminder that TB can be prevented and cured by modem drugs. “After centuries of effort”, says Earle Hoffman, president of the TB Association, “medical science at last has developed highly effective medicines for tuberculosis.” “Isoniazid, a safe and inexpensive drug, can prevent the disease before it developes, or cure it after it has gained a foothold." “A tuberculin test shows whether TB germs are in the !bodv.

Their absence from home can be neither enjoyable nor productive unless there is complete confidence in the sitter’s ability to protect their children’s health and happiness in virtually any situation that might arise. A sitter has certain responsibilities. They should regard baby sitting as a serious job and should attempt to learn as much as possible about understanding and caring for children. They should be able to adapt to different job situations. They should prompt parents to provide written instructions and follow them to the letter. They should encourage advance agreements on business aspects of the job and live up to the agreements made. They should be able to relay messages accurately and never have the children unattended. The young sitter’s parents also have certain responsibilities. They should approve of the family for whom their child is sitting. TTiey (should approve of the days and hours of work, guest privileges while sitting and arrangements for safe return home. The sitter should be encouraged to discuss his or her experience while sitting. ■ Hie parent-employers should be especially aware of their responsibilities. The first responsibility should be ability to select a level-headed, dependable sitter, old enough and capable of doing the job. They should acquaint the sitter with the household, includihg the physical set-up, family members, pets, family customs, etc. The parent-employer needs to be specific in regard to business arrangements and live up to the agreement. Written instructions should be provided on care of , children, where parents and other relatives may be reached and other emergency phone numbers. They should train their children to cooperate with the sitter. Then always provide for the sitter’s safe return home. Baby sitting is a job to be taken seriously for all concerned, to be learned and practiced and improved on. It is a business arrangement in which the sitter gives the employer definite services and satisfaction in return for a mutally agreeable rate of pay.

Most people are aware of what their private insurance, company pension plans, etc., will provide because they were participants in preparing their insurance program, or had been acquainted I with this company pension plans through employee handbooks and employee orientation. Many people, however, may not be 'acquainted with the important role of benefits provided to the ! family, children in particular, by j social security. In the event of the disablement, death, or retirement of a mother I or father, social security will 'provide monthly benefits to unmarried children under 18, or I between 18 and 22 if they are full-time students, and unmarried j children 18 or over who were 'severely disabled before they reached 18 and who continue to be disabled. Hiese benefits are sutstantial too. For an example, the father ;of two young children was killed i in an accident. He has had average i earnings of $454 a month covered | by social security. His widow and 'children will receive $354 each month in social security benefits. [By the time the oldest child I reaches 18, this family will have I received more than $55,000 in benefits. This example demonstrates how social security assists in alleviating the family’s financial burden — helps to keep the family together — aids the children to complete their education and provides disabled children, including those who are severely mentally retarded, with a lifetime income.

The past weekend 1! had an unexpected guest, a. hunter, who wanted a bobcat.' When he returned it was in the ;snow storm. I advised him to 'spend the night. He accepted my; hospitality. After dinner we sat by a log fire and talked. We had a little man type talk,' politics, science and finally we: [drifted into religion. Well, he had| ihis views, and frankly, they were; contrary to mine. He was of the i [opinion that life was to be livedj jto the hilt, that after life we are as dead as the bobcat he had [hoped to kill. Man has created life ;In a test tube, therefore the concept of a God of creation is [cancelled out, it is null and void. All the worlds and all the stars have always been as they are, there was no need to be created Oh, he had a good argument. Finally it came my turn So 1 said: “Nick, you have used intelligence in preparing for your trip out here, you have warm boots, warm clothing, guns suitable for various game. You have equipped your car for conditions you might encounter in winter weather, but what about the after life, assuming there is one. You know you could be wrong, God might have a punishment for those who ignore or denounce Him here, j^hy not be prepared for THATj contingency? The Bible says:l ‘The fool has, said in his heart, there is no God..’’ * Leaving him to ponder those thoughts, I said my prayer and went to bed, glad that I have hopes of an eternal life. The next' morning, before departing, Nick told me he had enjoyed our talk and asked permission to visit again. I hope he will have a! different outlook.

Brown Mysterious Inherited Birth Defect Diagnosed at March of Dimes Center Mrs. Elliott Bishop Jr. of Hanover, Mass., is certain that her daughter, Mary, is a miracle child. Every mother thinks her child is special in some way, but Mrs. Bishop may have more reason than most Mary came into the world with a rare hereditary birth defect— so rare that it was four years before her parents found someone able to diagnose it. The condition is Ellis-van Creveld syndrome, and Mary suffers from its major effects, dwarfism and congenital heart disease. At birth, doctors doubted she would live more than six weeks. “We were told that if she survived she would have to be placed in ac institution. She would never be able to lead a normal life,’’ Mrs Bishop says. That was seven years ago. Today, Mary attends a public school in Hanover where she is a class leader, gets good grades and, despite her short stature, is very active at play. “She even helps with chores around the house," Mrs. Bishop says. "She's a miracle child. She fooled the doctors." Much of the credit for Mary’s progress must go to the medical team at the March of Dimesfinanced Birth Defects Center at Boston Floating Hospital for Infants and Children This team diagnosed Mary's condition and now supervises her care. She had undergone successful heart surgery at the same hospital before the center was established. Mrs. Bishop is very proud of her daughter’s progress, hut she can also tell a parallel story of tragedy in her family “When Mary was born in October 1961 it was a great shock to us," Mrs. Bishop recalls. “My pregnancy was normal; our first child, Dominica, who was born in 1958, has always been normal and healthy There had never been any health problems in my family or my husband's. “When Mary came and we thought she wouldn’t live we almost despaired At that time the doctors did not know what Mary had. They told me there was only a slight chance that we would have another baby with the same problems. They thought perhaps it would be good for my morale to have another baby.

She was like Mary On April 1st of that year, Kathleen died of heart failure " In 196f> the Bishops went to the March of Dimes Birth Defects Center where they were told that Mary had the Ellis-van Creveld syndrome Once doctors had recognized the condition, they were able to advise the young couple about their chances of having another baby with similar disorders "The risk for us was very high, and we decided then not to have any more children." Mrs Bishop says Dr Murray Kemgold, director of the Birth Defects Center. points out that chances aie usually one in four that an offspring will inherit characteristics of the syndrome This condition is particularly common among the Anush, hut. as in the Bishop family, it is not confined to that group "When Mary was horn, little was known about the syndrome." says Mrs Bishop "I think there were only 32 reported cases in the country Now, of course, more is known and more cases are being re ported "The information came a little late to help us in planning o111 family, hut I hope others will he able to get proper diagnosis and genetic counseling so they can avoid the kind of t raged> w e e\ perieneed Rixeyville.

Phone 825-2161 — New and Used Cars and Trucks — vegetable news Top to bottom are Kindred winter squash, Harvester Queen cabbage and St. Pat Scallop summer squash, all medalists. 1 He searcn tor newer, rasuer, more productive vegetables goes on and on. This year's crop of newcomers includes 2 varieties of squash, one summer and one winter, plus a new hybrid cabbage. The summer squash is a greenish-white version of the old Patty Pan. It's a first generation hybrid called St. Pat Scallop. Early to mature fruit, continuous in bearing, it has the further advantage of being the bush type, thus taking less room in the garden than a vining type would. As you know, summer squash truils should be picked when young and tender. At this stage St. Pat Scallop fruits are shining pale green. Their color turns white as they age and thereby become unusable for eating. The winter squash is named Kindred; was developed in Kindred, North Dakota. It is unique in that the growth is bushy for half the season but short runners appear later, making it a semi-vine. Fruits are shaped like those of Buttercup; have deep o-ange colored flesh under a gold skin. They are of medium size, about 3 Vi inches thick, 6 to 7 inches wide, with inch-thick flesh. The hybrid cabbage, Harvester Queen, is believed to be absolutely resistant to the disease called cabbage “yellows”. This alone should make it especially desirable to the home gardener.
