A truck overturned on Route 522 Sunday evening when it swerved to avoid a horse in the lighway. No damage or injuries resulted. The truck was owned by r. M. Triplett, Castleton. On January 15 at 1:20 p.m. just east of Washington on Route 211 two trucks were involved in a collision. Robert Franklin Greene operating a 67 Chevrolet van truck owned by Schmidt’s Baking Company, Inc. of Martinsburg, W. Va. and a 68 Chevrolet pickup owned and operated by Leonard Ward Gisiner jr. of Roanoke ran together. Gisiner was attempting to cross the highway and turn into a driveway when he was struck by the oncoming bread truck. Gisiner was charged with failing to yield the right of way. Greene sustained a bruise chest and possible internal injuries. Tuesday afternoon on Route 522 in Woodville Mrs. Myra Wolf of Woodville driving a 62 Chevrolet station wagon and a 66 Plymouth operated by Warren Lee Smith of Sperryville collided. Damage was estimated at $200 to each vehicle. BabyIt’s Cold Outside Weather really is no longer news for the cold and snow have become a standard part ol everyday living. However, it is still the most talked about thing that I know. Since the foot of snow fell Christmas Day, the ground has tyeen, partially, covered since, though much of that initial percipitation blew off fields and into drifts leaving much bare ground. On January 7 the official weather gauge at Washington, Va. measured .24 of snow (measured as water after melting) and .36 inches of rain on January 18. Last night’s snow only measured .12 (melted) but this is not accurate because the gale winds did not allow a reliable record. Temperatures have been low and expected lower. As of Wednesday afternoon, two mornings had recorded temperatures of 5 degrees below zero at the official thermometer. Col. Evan A. McNear ia happy about the weather while most other folks are complaining. He thought Tuesday’s snowfall delightful and was very busy making preparations for the following day’s skiiers who would be coming to Skyline Ski Area which he operates. Skyline is located in Harris Hollow near Washington, Va. and with the cooperating weather, business had been good. Natural snow has been plentiful this season, but hard winds sweep portions of the slopes and the cover has to be supplemented with artificial snow. This is made by combining water with compressed air and spraying it through nozzles in below freezing temperatures. So all stations are go to blast off to Skyline Ski Area. ASC Outlines Agriculture Changes Amazing changes in American agriculture were cited today by H. S. Barksdale, Chairman of the Rappahannock County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation (ASC) Committee as “believe-it-or-not” facts of the last two decades. “We’ve seen more change in 20 years than we had in the 80 yean before that,” he said. “Back in 1870 one farmer provided food and fiber for every five persons. It took sixty years for that ratio to double -- by 1930 one farmer was growing food and fiber for every 10 persons. By 1960, the ratio was one farmer to supply every 26 persons. Today one U. S. farmer provides food and fiber for about 45 persons.” This rapidly increasing efficiency, he said, means that Americans today pay only about 16 and a half per cent of their disposable income for food - less than any people anywhere have ever paid. Disposable income is after - taxes income -- the money people actually have for spending purposes. Other changes cited include the. drop in farm population -- down' to 10 million today from about 26 million in 1947. During the same period, farm consolidation has cut the number of farms in half -- from 6 million to 3 million. The land in farms, however, remained relatively unchanged ~ about 1.1 billion acres. What it adds up to is a technological and economic revolution in American agriculture. More Americans need to realize that agriculture is not a static industry, but is actually one of the leaders in our technological progress. More Weddings Is Forecast for Rappk. New York -- Rappahannock County is in for a marriage boom. There will be more brides in the next few years, in terms of population, than in any period since 1946, which was the post-war peak year. This is a forecast that is quite dependable. It is evidenced by the rising proportion of young men and young women in the local area who are approaching marriageable age. It is estimated, from the figures, that there will be 12.3 marriages in Rappahannock County this year for every 1,000 local residents. This compares with the 10.1 per 1,000 that took place six years ago, in 1964. The findings, based upon statewide data, are from the Department of Commerce and the Department of Health, Education and Welfare. Elsewhere in the United States an average of 10.9 marriages per 1.000 population is expected this year. The national record of 2.291.000 marriages, set in 1946, has not been equalled since then. By 1960 the total had dropped to 1,464,000. More recently it has been on the rise again. In 1967 it reached 1,913,000, in 1968 it went to nearly 2,000,000 and, this year, it is expected to be about 2,200,000. The proportion of Rappahannock County’s young people who will be in the age span in which most marriages occur, 20 to 24 years, is noted in the Census Bureau figures. The total in that age bracket, currently, is placed at approximately 590. The upswing In marriages will create, in turn, an upsurge in the birth rate, which has been dropping in this country since 1957. Despite the indication that many of today’s young couples plan to have fewer children than their parents had, and despite broader use of the pill, a reversal of the downward trend is expected within the next few years. All of which is good news for Rappahannock County’s business community. With each new marriage a new household comes Into being, with its need for furniture, clothing, dishes, linens, electrical appliances and innumerable other articles and services. w&st&y' w -j*»v ' ••■ T r> • .... •• •• Diane DeBergh of Washington has passed a course in ski patroling and is the first certified Junior Patrolman in Rappahannock or at Skyline Ski Area. She completed tests Saturday and prior to that had successfully completed a course in standard and advanced first aid, which are required. The ski patrol assists skiiers in any manner, including injuries, falls, tips or avoiding a mishap. They also keep an eye out for holes or bare spots on the slopes or any hazard or danger. The patrol is voluntary and each member furnishes his own equipment and pack. A toboggan like the one pictured here is used to bring a disabled skiier down the slope with ease. Diane is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John R. DeBergh and lives near the ski area. She has become quite accomplished at the sport. A young man from Front Royal, Doug Miller, who 1 learned to ski at Skyline was winner of the giant slalom, a 3,200 foot race at the Homestead last I weekend. Men To Conduct Baptist Church Worship On Sunday, January 25, the Virginia Baptist Churches will observe Baptist Men’s Day. In Amissville, the entire morning worship will be conducted by a number of men performing the duties normally carried out by the pastor. The service, as arrangedby the Rev. Charles Kindred, will include special music by an all mens group and a double sextet identified as the Father and Son Group. It has been announced that the morning’s message will be given by R. B. Settle with Nelson Burner leading in both the responsive reading and the morning prayer. The service is scheduled at the usual 11 o’clock worship. Lions Hear Mr. Miller J. Newbill Miller, chairman of the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors, led a dynamic discussion on County government at the Rappahannock Lions January 14th meeting. The three major items of the budget, Welfare, Administration, and Education were the topics discussed most thoroughly. Chairman Miller concluded his presentation with an appeal to all civic organizations and citizens to support the counties trash disposal system. The Lions have a new supply of brooms. Contact any Lion member for a broom made by the Virginia Workshop for the Blind. Wilson Burke and Buster Hitt were welcomed to the Club as new members. Dr. William McCoy, President of the Lord Fairfax Community College will be the guest speaker at the Lions January 28th i meeting. Films, Literature Offered by TB Assn. An educational drive on emphysema and air pollution was launched this week by the public information committee of the Tuberculosis and Health Association of Northern Virginia in the eight counties it serves. A simple breathing test, films and literature are offered to any group or organization. The latest film “Life and Breath” on emphysema is in color and fifteen minutes running time. It relates the complex development of emphysema and incorporates technique of detection, examination and treatment. Some of the highly intricate "shots” use the latest in photographic technology. Emphysema, a growing problem and an increasing concern to the TB-RD movement, was second among diseases for which Social Security disability payments were made in a recent year. When primary and secondary causes of death are combined, emphysema and chronic bronchitis account for more than 70,000 deaths per year. More and more people are developing this breathrobbing disease. The lack of specific knowledge about specific causes and effective treatment makes the need for research, professional education and public enlightenment particularly acute. As soon as released "The Runaround” will also be available. This is a cartoon style film on air pollution. Members of the committee in this county who can be contacted for scheduling the program are: Mrs. Earl Edmonds and Mrs. Arley E. Seal, both of lluntly, Va Garden Club Postponed The Rappahannock Garden Club meeting postponed from January 21 will be held January 28 at the home of Mrs. Elmo D.

The Virginia Heart Association is trying to conduct an intensive door to door campaign throughout the state in an effort to secure funds which have been deleted by federal cuts. Each of us knows what tremendous advances have been made in heart research this past decade. It is Imperative that this research continues. Everyone in Rappahannock County can think of some prominent person, close Mend, or relative who has been stricken by cardio-vascular ailments within the past year. The deaths, due to heart and heart related problems, are higher than from any other one cause. In fact, they accounted for over 50% of the total deaths in Rappahannock County in 1969. Great strides are being made to bring relief and longer life' to young and old heart patients. We in Rappahannock have received the benefit of oxygen equipment donated to our local rescue squads by the Virginia Heart Association. Presently, the heart association is involved in training the personnel of most area rescue units in the treatment of cardiac arrests. These are only a few direct ways our funds are used within the county. Hie Rappahannock Heart Fund chairmen are trying to make this year one in which our fine young people take an active part. Many young men and women have volunteered their services to the district chairmen but more are needed. We now have a special need for someone in the Chester Gap and Castleton areas. If you can devote a little time and effort to this cause during February, jxintact one of the following chairmen: . Hampton - Mrs. Thomas B. Massie; Wakefield ■ Mrs. Charles Raney; Piedmont Mrs. Sherwood Boze; Hawthorne - Mrs. Harry Gallihugh; Stonewall - John Quaintance; Jackson - Mrs. Richard Pierson; Special Events - Rev. Jerry Campbell; Publicity - Mrs. Tom Rees. Have a heart and give generously of your time and money so that your heart fund can continue to help your heart. Mrs. Nancy McCoy Chairman Rappahannock Heart Fund 1970 Test Balls Gain At Record Rate The 177 bulls on the Virginia Beef Cattle Improvement Association gain test at the Culpeper and Dublin Central Test Stations are gaining at a record-breaking rate through the first 56 days of the official 140 day test. At Culpeper, where 27 Polled Hereford, 7 Herefords, 4 Charolais, and 69 Angus are being tested, the average daily gain was 3.32 pounds and the weight-per-day-of-age was 2.62 pounds. At Dublin, where 38 Angus, 19 Hereford, 6 Polled Hereford, and 7 Charolais are being tested, the [average daily gain was 3.18 and the weight-per-day-of-age was 2.61 pounds. The bulls being tested for the 12th consecutive year at Culpeper and third year at Dublin stand to make the best records yet, said A. L. Eller Jr., Virginia Tech extension specialist, who serves as the Virginia BCIA advisor. The average adjusted 205 day weight was 540 pounds, which is the highest of any group of bulls ever to start through the central testing program. All young bulls being tested come from the herds of Virginia BCIA members who are on complete herd performance testing. The bulls placed on test are selected from the top based on performance. The 140 day test period will be completed on Feb. 19 at Dublin and Feb. 20 at Culpeper. On the final day, all bulls will be weighed and graded and sonorayed to read backfat thickness between the 12th and 13th ribs. Complete performance pedigrees and individual performance data will be carried in the sale catalogs on all bulls which surpass the rigid minimums for the sales. The bull sales are scheduled for.Mai;cb ,13 at Culpeper and March 14 at Dublin. Visitors are invited to either station at anytime and should write A. L. Eller, Jr., Extension Specialist, Animal Science, Agnew Hall, V.P.I., Blacksburg, Va., for progress reports as well as catalogs. Eller reports that bulls tested over the past 11 years at Culpeper and Dublin have been increasing in popularity with commercial and registered breeders each year. These bulls have generally given excellent accounts of themselves in the breeding pastures of their new owners. ’69 Traffic Death# Virginia’s 1,301 traffic fatalities of 1969 far exceeded the existing high of 1,223 set in 1967 and marked the sixth consecutive yeai in which they have topped the 1,000 mark, Colonel H. W. Burgess, Superintendent of State Police, announced today. “There is simply no plausible explanation,” he said. “The year saw more effort both on the state and national level than ever before, but deaths continued to rise at an alarming rate.” The rate of deaths per 100 million miles of travel was 4.9 which compared well with the 4.8 of 1968 and was below the national average of 5.2. Traffic volumes were up approximately 5.3 percent. Pedestrian deaths were up from 232 to 239. Crashes killing more than one person were down from 126 killing a total of 308 to 123 killing 300. Non-collision crashes, involving contact with no other vehicle or a pedestrian, rose from 456 killing 522 to 500 killing 582. Colonel Burgess observed here that this type of crash almost inevitably rises from excessive speed, drowsiness or drinking. Urban deaths were down from 315 to 292 but rural ones rose from 903 to 1,009. Deaths of servicemen dropped from 7 3 to 55. Motorcycle deaths continued to drop sharply from 47 in 1967 to 36 in 1968 to 16 in 1969. Virginia saw 756 deaths in 1960, 856 in 1961, 974 in 1962, 989 in 1963, 1,050 in 1964, 1,062 in 1965, 1,106 in 1966, 1,223 in 1967 and 1,218 in 1968. Colonel Burgess noted that the overall toll could be increased slightly due to late reporting or the deaths of those now carried as injured. Summer Conservation Jobs Available Summer jobs in a wide variety of conservation fields will be made available for the eighth consecutive year through t cooperative program involving the U.S. Department of the Interioi and the Virginia Division of the Izaak Walton League of America, according to League President Vivian Barnette.

Safety Sunday Set for Feb. 22nd The Virginia "Highway Safety Division will assist the National Foundation For Highway Safety n staging the Fifth .Annual Highway Safety Sunday oromoted by the Foundation on February 22, John T. Hanna, Director of the Virginia Highway Safety Division, announced oday. Religious leaders of all lenominations will be asked to nclude material which will be supplied them in their sermons ind bulletins that day. The )u lie tins contain appropriate statistics, cartoons, quotes, >ackground information and >ther material. Mr. Hanna said hat 2,000 publications will be listributed to Virginia’s 136 local lighway safety commissions by he Division’s program soordinators, who will ask that hey be turned over to the shurches with an explanation of he program and request that hey be given the widest use >ossible. Noting that traffic deaths rose sharply both nationally and in Virginia last year, Mr. Hanna said shat major emphasis will be placed on alcohol, which is nvolved in at least 50 per cent of ill fatal crashes; speed, which caused 800,000 deaths and njuries; young drivers, one third jf whom were involved in fatal crashes and weekend driving, which saw 40 per cent of all leaths and 30 per cent of all njuries. Mr. Hanna felt that a great potential lay in more promotion of highway safety by religious leaders. “It is estimated that what we mistakenly call traffic accicents’ could be cut 90 pei cent if all of us observed the Golden Rule at all times. Icebergs May Aid Water Supply Cities of the future may tow in an iceberg to help solve water shortages. For decades, men have sought to tap the abundant water locked in the polar icecaps. Antarctica alone holds about 80% of the Earth’s fresh water in its frozen grip. More than a century ago, ships from San Francisco sailed to Alaska to bring back lake ice. But in 1853, when mild weather slowed the freezing of lakes, glacier ice proved a satisfactory substitute, the National Geographic Society says. Towing Icebergs Proposed Oceanographers have suggested that icebergs could be towed to the West Coast to furnish water for Southern California’s desert. Two United States scientists recently estimated that if an iceberg 250 yards thick and 2,700 yards across were towed to Australia, it would provide 207 billion gallons of water-even though 70% of the iceberg would melt during the trip. Dr. William Campbell, of the Department of the Interior’s Geological Survey, and Dr. Wilford Weeks of the Army’s Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory, concluded that a sea-going tug could make the voyage for less than $1 million. The fresh water obtained from the iceberg would be worth about $5.5 million. This would be less than a tenth of-% the cost for an equivalent 'Snjount of desalted sea water. The scientists had in mind tabular, or flat-surfaced icebergs that form when the continental ice shelf covering Antarctica is eroded by the pressure of tides, storms, snowfalls, and even earthquakes. For example, ice formation thrusts the 160,000-square-mile Ross Ice Shelf seaward as much as CLORE FUNERAL HOME “The Home of -Thoughtful Service” Culpeper, Va. Phone 825-2361 Ambulance Service With Oxygen four feet in a day. IceDergs-sum* larger than American states-are broken off from the shelf’s edge by the action of the sea. In 1956 the Navy icebreaker Glacier skirted a tabular iceberg 208 miles long, 60 miles wide and about 1,000 feet thick. The 12,000-square-mile mass nearly equaled Connecticut and Massachusetts combined. Tugboat Risks Disaster Icebergs found in the Arctic usually are mountainous rather than tabular, and frequently assume fanciful shapes. These floating castles and cathedrals sometimes become top-heavy as they melt. A ship attempting to tow one would risk being crushed if the iceberg capsized. As many as 20,000 Arctic icebergs can form in a single year, primarily from glaciers pushing into the sea. Where the seabed drops away sharply from the land, the sea I eats into the overhanging ice until it breaks off as an iceberg. Winston Chutchill suggested towing icebergs in World War II, but not for water. A British historian quotes him: “Let us cut a large chunk of ice from the Arctic icecap and tow it down past Cornwall, fly on our aircraft and tow it to the point of attack.” District Mgr.

Today’s Woman Judy Burtner Extension Agent, Hpme Economics As a member of the American Home Economics Association, I receive a monthly publication entitled, “Journal of Home Economics.” In the December issue, an article appeared by Dr. Walter L. Thomas, director of a project on Student Values in Grand Rapids, Michigan regarding today’s youth and their values. The article was so outstanding that I would like to quote a section of it regarding the superior generation • our youth' “We have produced a supeftn generation and on’t know how to cope with it. You as teachers, parents, and community workers ought to put a flower in your lapel, your thumbs under your armpits, and say ‘Boy, what a good group we are,’ because you have succeeded in all of those social studies classes, homes, churches, Boys Scouts, and Daughters of the American Revolution. You have said: ‘Children you must get involved. You must tell it like it is. You must help others who are less fortunate. Don’t let anyone boss you around unless he has a good reason and justification for his actions. Money isn’t everything in life. Everyone is truly equal. Be true to what you think is right regardless of what it means. Don’t do as I do, but do as I say. Now just sit back and take credit. Any establishment or system that can do all that can’t really be all dad.” “Did we really mean to our youth, ‘Don’t do as I say, but do as I do?” We now are put in the position of saying to all of our youth, ‘Not so fast, not that much, not quite like that.” Maybe the above is part of the key in understanding the youth and their attitudes of today. It’s something to think about at any rate. What’s Happening In Education By Kenneth W. Stanley - Parent* of school-age children, in recent weeks, were presented with their child’s report card. Do report cards really tell parents how well their child is performing in school? Dr. William Glasser, author of the controversial new book, Schools Without Failure, thinks not. Dr. Glasser writes that our school* appear to be organized to convince many children that they are born losers with little chance to be successful in this world. He writes that many school teachers invariably assume that failure is the fault of the child and can be explained by low intelligence, undesirable home situations, or the child not putting forth the effort. Do teachers, he asks, not have the responsibility of designing learning situations in the classroom in which each child can be successful within his range of abilities? He suggests that frequently teachers fail to draw upon the experiences of the child or the fascinating, pulsating life and community outside the classroom when preparing lessons. Should not study at each grade be made practical for the child? Dr. Glasser implies this can be done by all teachers if students are actively engaged in helping to plait' the direction of future study units. In math, for instance, addition and subtraction could be taught by studying distances on a road map or by measuring angles on a gymnasium floor; social organization in social studies might be taught by studying communities of living things — ants in particular; the forces of sciences could be taught by observing actual examples of erosion, cracks in buildings and sidewalks on the school ground; and English useage by writing a letter to a congressman with a reply indicated; reading by instruction in the proper way or reading a newspaper. Dr. Glasser believes, too, that present grading systems in schools which encourage failure by grades of 70 or “F” must be replaced by a process which will measure each student oh his strengths rather than on weaknesses. Weaknesses could be conveyed to students and parents in terms of written statements on the items the student has mastered in a given area of study and the skill areas in which he still needs to improve. Horticultural Soc. Meets in Roanoke P.H.

Bruce Dog Warden Rappahannock County Teens Tackle Birth Defects Problem With the Emphasis on Prevention Zest, enthusiasm, competence—these are the words that best describe the young members of the March of Dimes Teen Action Program. Led by Kathy Carver, who stars in "Family Affair" on CBS television, the TAPs are junior volunteers. They were organized in 1954, and today they are an integral part of The National FoundationMarch of Dimes’ task: The fight to prevent birth defects. Who are these teen-agers? And what, exactly, are they doing? Let’s take Alan Rosenthal of Miami, Fla., as’an example. Alan, 17, first became involved in the TAP program when he was a high school junior. Here’s how it happened, according to Alan: “Maria Landry, the Dade County TAP Chairman, approached me at school one day and said, ‘Alan, I’ve got a job for you.’ The next thing I knew, I was on a plane headed for Salt Lake City and a National Youth Conference on Birth Defects.”. That’s where it all began for Alan. Inspired by the conference, he returned to Miami determined to do something about the great destroyer which attacks some 250,000 American babies every year. He became chairman of Project Concern Youth Council, a._ group of teen-age representatives from each of Dade County’s high schools, who serve as liaison between the Dade County March of Dimes Chapter and their various student bodies. A Nationwide Movement Under Alan's leadership, Project Concern organized the teen-agers of Dade County in fund raising and community service projects for the March of Dimes. They raised money for the Birth Defects Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital through a bread sale and a fashion show. They helped feed the children at the Birth Defects Center. They painted a Birth Defects Center cottage at the hospital and the entire March of Dimes Headquarters. And most important, these teenagers continually inform each other and involve more LUNCH TIME it fun time for Natacha Figueroa (center) and her fellow patients at Jacltton Memorial Hospital's Birth Defects Center, because Teen Action Program volunteers like Vivian Soeder and Carlos Perez visit the children and help feed them. This is just one of many projects sponsored by TAPs in their nationwide effort to Fight birth defects. young people in March of Dimes public health education efforts. These activities are typical of what TAPs are doing throughout the country. In Kern County, Calif., they are working in a March of Dimes prenatal care program for Spanish-speaking migrant workers. In Rochester, N.Y., TAPs make puppets for handicapped children at the March of Dimes Birth Defects Center there. At a recent teen fair in Cleveland, Ohio, the TAP booth won first prize for its “Go MOD” theme. TAPs in Marin County, Calif., are working as volunteers at 'a Genetics Evaluation Center. Everywhere, they have proven their worth as workers and communicators. The Chairman of the Dade County Chapter of The National FoundationMarch of Dimes, speaking of Alan Rosenthal’s TAP group, says, “Every time we needed ideas, or manpower, or help of any kind, we first asked, how can we use the kids? And the kids were always there.” TAPS realize they have a special stake in prevention of birth defects—after all, they are the parents of tomorrow. Their children are the ones who will benefit most from new methods that prevent some birth defects and control the consequences of many others. These include recent development of new vaccines which protect against two major causes of birth defects. One is the rubella vaccine for German measles; the other is used to prevent RH incompatibility disease. Teens Are Concerned And these concerned teenagers don’t give up their TAP activities when they graduate from high school. They have gone on to form a new program on college campuses throughout the country. Now members of CAP (College Action Program) are continuing their March of Dimes community service and public health education activities during their college years. Alan, too, is busier than ever, as a premedical student at Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y. “I hope someday to combine my science background with my concern for society and working with people,,r says Alan. “But the important thing is to get involved and stay involved. That’s why I’ll always be part of the March of Dimes —they are the people who get things done, first in the fight against polio and now in the great battle to prevent birth defects.” Amissville Area News and Personals Miss Annie Cooksey of Washington, Va. spent last Tuesday with Mrs. Robert Armentrout and daughter Susan Michelle of Anchorage, Alaska who is visiting her parents Mr. and Mrs. J.R.

George Bowman Turns Author Does confession have a place in the Protestant church today? According to George William Bowman III, the time has come for serious evaluation of confession and renewal of it. In “The Dynamics of Confession” (John Knox Press) he emphasizes that valid confession must be both theologically and psychologically sound. Bowman inquires into the need for and value of functional confession to Protestants and shares practical suggestions for its implementation. His topics include aims for confession, necessary attitudes in the minister and person confessing, cautions to be observed, and the further prospects for confession in theological education, clinical training, pastoral counseling centers, and local workshops for ministers. He also provides a brief glossary. George William Bowman III is an assistant director of the Department of Pastoral Care for the North Carolina Baptist Hospitals, Inc., and for Bowman-Gray School of Medicine. He graduated from the University of Richmond In 1950, ' received his B.D. from Union I Theological Seminary (Va.), and < his Th.M. from Southeastern I Baptist Theological Seminary, i Before entering hospital work in < 1966, he served churches in i Richmond, Woodville, and South 1 Boston- all in Virginia. Mr. i Bowjnan was pastor of Woodville 1 ^and Mount—Lebanon Baptist rejKS, ' Woodv>tl le, Virginia, frbd[l953 toN1957.) Rear Can Be Avoided Whether the rear end that is bent belongs to the car ahead or the vehicle you are driving, chances are the . accident that caused it normally could have been prevented, says the Institute for Safer Living. Certainly there are many things that can gang up on a driver in accidents of this sort, but there are really only two hazards to avoid. One is bending the end of the guy ahead and the. other of having your own rear end bent. In either case the best protection is to maintain speed and space control to make it largely unnecessary for sudden stops. The Institute for Safer Living of the American Mutual Liability Insurance Company advises not to be fooled into a false sense of security by thinking that your observance of one vehicle length interval for each ten miles per hour of speed will provide you with enough space to keep you from ramming the guy ahead. This is a minimum interval which applies only under the most favorable conditions and with one or two vehicles ahead of you. When speed is high, the weather is bad, the road slippery or the line of cars at minimum interval is long, you need more interval to bring your vehicle to a stop soon enough to keep from bending the end of the vehicle ahead. In protecting yourself from the fellow behind a similar defense applies. Control your interval and speed to preclude the necessity for instant braking by either you or the vehicle behind you. This means that you’ve got to know what the fellow behind you is doing and you’ve got to adjust your interval accordingly. Don’t let him crowd you! If he rides your bumper while you are following the vehicle ahead at normal interval, you can expect So be clobbered la the sett latte' event an emergency develops. The Institute recommends you YlXZm. A Shocking Monument to Wildfire! ncreaae your own following nterval further so that you can :ome to a smooth gradual stop. By braking down slowly you illow more time for the other i river to get the message that you intend to stop. Pumping your brakes or turning on your Hashen may also help to alert him In time to avoid hitting you. The other big advantage when we follow at an increased Interval is that we’re in a better position to see and analyze the changing traffic situation around us. Birth Announced The Rev. and Mn.

Federal Aid For Wildlife Up Virginia’s share of Federal funds for fish and wildlife restoration for the 1970 fiscal year will total $748,741 out of some $43 million to be distributed among the 50 states, reports Chester F. Phelphs, Executive Director of the Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries. Pittman-Robertson funds derived from an 11% excise tax on guns and ammunition accounted for $577,980 of the total and are earmarked for game projects. The remaining $170,761 represents Dingell-Johnson funds accruing from a 10% excise tax on fishing tackle which will be used to finance fisheries projects. The revenue from both sources represents an all time high in the 33 years that the Pittman -Robertson Act and the 20 years the Dingell-Johnson Act have been in effect. The shares allocated to each state are determined by the number of paid hunting and fishing license holders in that state and the land area of the state. After deducting the costs of (;•! i. administration, all funds collected | are returned to the states with ] none remaining in the Federal j Treasury. Virginia's wildlife restoration projects include Investigation of game numbers, movement, productivity, disease, damage to private property and habitat needs. Nearly every species of game is covered in the studies as are various hunting methods. Pittman-Robertson monies are also used in acquiring hunting areas. Fish restoration projects include lake construction, the evaluation of management techniques, and a special study of the status and potential of the striped bass In Virginia’s inland waters.

Bone Marrow Transplant Operation A Victory Over Rare Birth Defect The Camp family knew about birth defects long before their son David was born. Although they had four healthy daughters, the life of one of their nephews had been claimed by a hereditary disease seven years earlier. Every father wants a son, but Mr. Camp knew that his nephew’s illness had been “sex-linked" — that is, girls carry the gene but boys get the illness—and that if his wife bore a son, he would run a 50-50 chance of being afflicted. When David was born on March 19, 1968 in Wallingford, Conn., his parents and doctor were on the alert. At first, David seemed a fine, healthy looking 7 pound 10 ounce baby. But Dr. Jerome L’Heureux did not relax. He knew that if David was suffering from the same condition as his cousin, the signs might not show up initially. Three months later, the insidious illness was discovered in laboratory tests. As feared, the diagnosis was sex-linked lymphopenic immunologic deficiency. The prognosis was not good. Effects of this disease had always destroyed its victims’ lives before their first birthday. Years of Research Agammaglobulinemia (AGG) was first described in 1953. David's body lacked the normal defense system which helps us fight infections. Even a mild childhood illness could cause his death because of the deficiency in his ability to produce antibodies. As far as Dr. L’Heureux knew, nothing effective could be done for David. But when he consulted with his colleagues about the case, one called his attention to the AGG research work of Dr. Robert A. Good at the University of Minnesota. He contacted Dr. Good and initiated a string of events that led to the first successful bone marrow transplant in history—giving life to one little boy, and giving hope to many others afflicted with immunologic deficiencies. Dr. Good is one of the many researchers whose work is sup HELPING HER BROTHER, David, i« a habit with Down Camp. Sh* wai the donor for a bone marrow transplant that corrected a rare immunological birth defect in the Connecticut lad. ported by grants from the National Foundation-March of Dimes. A professor of pediatrics and microbiology at the University of Minnesota, he has been a National Foundation grantee since 1960. He and his associates have been conducting a variety of research projects related to birth defects of the immunity system and bodily defenses. To correct such defects, Dr. Good wanted to transplant healthy bone marrow into patients with such defects in order to reconstitute their immunologic systems. Other investigators had considered this line of treatment, but previous attempts at transplantation had failed because of overwhelming, and ultimately fatal—graft-vs.-host reactions. Most people are familiar with the concept of the GVH reaction today because of the publicity that heart transplants have received. When foreign material enters the body, antibodies tend to build up and attack or reject this material. This is the "rejection reaction” —the body rejects the donor material. The GVH reaction is essentially the opposite of the rejection reaction. The antibody cells of the graft or donor material attack the host body into which it is transplanted. The reaction can be minimized only by matching the donor material as closely as possible to that of the patient. The well-known process of blood typing, i.e., assuring that a person with type A blood is not transfused with type B blood, is analagous to the matching which must be done before a transplant. But the marrow-grafting procedure is much more difficult. Miracle in Minneapolis This is where previous attempts had failed and where Dr. Good and his associates succeeded. By August 1968, the entire Camp family had journeyed to the March of Dimes Birth Defects Research Center in Mineapolis. After extensive testing of David’s four sisters, nine-yearold Doreen was chosen as the donor. On Augus't 24, the transplant was performed. About two ounces of marrow was withdrawn through a hollow needle from Doreen’s hipbone and injected into David’s abdominal cavity. On September 2, Labor Day, David began to take a turn for the worse. But after an initial bout with the dreaded GVH reaction, his symptoms subsubsided and the donor cells seemed to take hold. A second transplant was required in November and David oegan to improve dramatically. Christmas 1969 was a very merry one for the Camp family. David was home again— a healthy little boy. The doctors’ instructions: “Treat him like a normal boy.” News of Interest from Washington Area By Mrs. Ruth J. Keyset Judge W. F.

I remember him as a young man studying for the ministry, his enthusiasm and dedication. I remember him spending time with us and preparing his sermons. One of his favorite spots was an old oak tree behind our home (wonder If it is still there) where he would go to meditate. I remember his visit to us as part of his honeymoon, his Emily, how he loved her, did till the end. I went with him to a little church one night to which he had been invited to hold a service. He chose his text and settled down to talking in a moderately low tone and I settled down to listen, as is my custom. All at once he raised his voice and I almost jumped out of the pew. If I had had any devil in me that night he would have scared it out of me. Imagine every one listened from then on. He carried the message to those in high places and to the lowly. He visited the sick and those who had been imprisoned. If he had a sin, it must have been gluttony; how that man could eat. I have followed him in that. I think he was the first to make me think of entering the ministry. Maybe the call was not strong enough, I didn’t make it. If I can hold out faithfully to the end maybe God will add another star to his crown. I hope it is already overloaded. Personals from Sperryville and Vicinity Mrs. B. M.
