Fiery Crash Sunday Evening Claims First Traffic Fatality of Year in Rappahannock Rappahannock County chalked up its first traffic fatality of 1970 on Sunday when a car crashed and burned claiming the life of a 52 year old D.C. man who was formerly of Sperryville. Thomas Harry Williams of Washington, D.C. was the victim of the firey crash which occurred on Route 522, a half mile east of Woodville, February 1. According to Trooper W.A. Buntin, circumstances indicated that the 67 Ford sedan operated by Williams was traveling at an extremely high rate of speed when it coursed off the left of the highway and struck a tree. The vehicle was engulfed in flames and any effort for immediate rescue was impossible, though, in all probability, death was instantaneous from the sever impact before the fire, the officer said. Williams was taken to the Marshall Funeral Home in Culpeper by (Jastleton Rescue Squad. Fire fighting equipment from Castleton and Sperryville responded to the crash scene. Williams was originally from Sperryville, but had been living in the District and working for many years with the Bureau of Printing and Engraving. (Obituary inside.)

Bernard Sterling Reid of Amissviile, operating a 62 Chevy II, was heading east on Route 211 when he ran off the right of the highway. The car struck a culvert, careened into a parked pickup, bounced off of it and came to rest on its top in front of Hackley’s Store. The truck, a 1960 Chevrolet, was owned by Manuel J. Pullen, also of Amissville. Bernard Reid received lacerations of the face and head, a bruised right leg and a fractured pelvis. Walter Richard Reid, a passenger in the car, sustained lacerations of the head and a neck injury. The crash was investigated by Trooper J. B. Willis, and Bernard Reid was charged with reckless driving. A rear end collision occurred Sunday night six tenths of a mile west of Sperryville on Route 211.

TB Report Today tuberculosis is no longer a terrifying disease to most people. It can be treated, even prevented, by a drug called i8oniazid. Last year in the area covered by the Tuberculosis and Health Association of Northern Virginia, 52 new cases were found. There is a total of 484 cases under supervision of the health department and of these 292 are active. Millions of older Americans remember earlier decades in this century when TB was feared as the leading killer disease, the “White Plague”. People died by • the thousands, and bed rest was the recommended treatment. TB patients were isolated in sanatoriums. But many others were effected by the germ without even knowing it, as the germs seemed to be almost everywhere. Today TB occurs sporadically in elderly people who were infected years ago when the germ was so common. Although these people did not realize they had the germ, the germs remained alive but dormant for some time. If the disease progresses in these infected people undetected, they could infect others. ' Today TB is no longer a dreaded disease, but TB germs still cause trouble. We must still try to track down those who are infected and keep them under surveilance. In a population of a little over 177,000, Christmas Seal funds are still needed to fight tuberculosis in the Northern Virginia area. Contributions as of this week are: 1/30/70 $2,649.00 $6,961.00 9.877.00 7.703.00 3.646.00 951.00 6.066.00 Clarke Fauquier Frederick Loudoun Page Rappahannock Shenandoah Warren Short of goal $1.00 1,139.00 523.00 347.00 354.00 149.00 434.00 181.00 .5.219.00 V Totals .$42,072.00 $3,128.00 Local Residents Insured for $19,188 Residents of Rappahannock County are beginning the decade of the 70’s with more financial safeguards in the form of insurance than they ever had. They are covered for all kinds of hazards. They have health insurance, burglary insurance, automobile insurance, Are insurance, life insurance and various other forms of protection. Especially have they been adding to their life insurance. Total holdings of this type of coverage in the local area is now estimated at more than $19,188,000. The facts and figures on the number of policy holders and the amount of insurance in force are contained in the current Life Insurance Fact Book and in other year-end statistics. The breakdown is on a state-by-state basis. It shows that the American people have been adding to their insurance in recent years. Their total holdings now add up to $1.3 trillion and are growing at the rate of more than $100 millioa a year. In the State of Virginia, according to the figures, the amount in force totals $28,372,000,000. This compares with the 1960 figure oi $10,179,000,000. In most families the amount oi insurance carried is in direct proportion to their income. The total held by the average family in the state, it is found, is equal to 28.4 months income, after taxes. Applied to Rappahannock County and to the average income reported for the area, life insurance coverage locally is now estimated at $13,700 per family. IjiSjjs *» much as average family nad ten years Of the grand total of $19,188,000 carried by the local population, the bulk is in ordinary life insurance. Group ago. insurance, generally issued to em ployers for the benefit of their employees, is in second place. The reports show that despite the growing protection provided through social security, most families have been adding to their insurance coverage as their income rises. Men, especially married men, are the most frequently insured. Some 91 percent of husbands carry life insurance as compared with 71 percent of wives. Ash Wednesday Service A short Ash Wednesday service will be held February 11 at Trinity Episcopal Church, Washington at 12 noon. Joint Lenten programs with the Methodist and Episcopal churches will begin Thursday, February 12 with a Pot Luck supper at 6 p.m. at the Trinity Parish Hall followed by program and discussion. Themes for Lenten programs are as follows: February 12 - “Anticipation” February 19 - “Teachings” February 26 - “Concern for Others” March 5 - “Prayer Life” March 12 - “Suffering” March 19 - “Entrance as a King” March 26 ■ “Resurrection” Crafts Group Meets Mrs. Ruth Kilby of Sperryville demonstrated caning a chair seat to the dozen members present for the meeting last Tuesday of the Arts and Crafts Group. Her demonstration was thorough and effective on a project which can be difficult. The next meeting of this group is scheduled for February 10 at Cab Inn and the demonstration will be on bottoming stools with sea grass. Anyone interested is invited to participate. One acre of land planted with one-year old pine seedlings in 1970 will produce merchantable pulpwood-size trees in 16-18 years. The pulpwood on this truck represents approximately two standard cords of pulpwood. In 16-18 years this truck could be loaded 12-14 times from the one acre of land planted in 1970. The Virginia Division of Forestry will assist interested landowners. It has SO million seedlings in its two nurseries. If all of these are planted, approximately 70,000 acres will be planted in Virginia by April IS, 1970. Rep. Marsh Explains Difficult Choice In Upholding Presidential Veto After careful deliberation, I decided I should vote to sustain the President’s veto of the HEW bill. This was a difficult decision, because of the nature of this legislation and the fact that it affects a critical area of our national life. It is important to understand, however, that both Congress and the President knew that, whatever happened to the specific appropriation bill in question, federal support for education and health programs would not stand or fall with the sustaining or overriding of the veto. Both branches of government recognized that funds must be provided-if not in this bill then by continuing resolution, or preferably in a substitute which could gain Congressional and Presidential approval. I understand a new bill will be forthcoming shortly, and I will urge its prompt consideration. I would like to review some of the factors that went into my decision. First of these was the fact that I serve on the Appropriations Committee, and from the time the bill was reported from the subcommittee, I was impressed by a number of expressions with reference to the support of the amounts oflftfttllv approved py the subcommittee and*'' full committee of the House in reference to the bill. When the bill went to the floor of the House, although I had not favored an amendment to increase substantially some of its funding provisions, which amendment carried, I voted with reservations, for the bill on final passage in the House because I felt federal financial support in many of the. areas that were subject to the bill was vitally necessary. However, when the bill came back from the Senate in the form of a conference report, I could not support it, and voted against the conference report. One of the principal reasons for voting against the conference repon was tnat over two billion dollars had been added to the bill in the Senate, including over a billion, nine hundred million dollars for funding the Office of Economic Opportunity, a program for which an appropriation had not even been given the prior consideration by the House of Representatives which other programs in the bill had received. One of the things that have concerned me about the operation of federal funding of education relates to the great inequity that results in our area of the state arising out of the funds referred to as federally-impacted aid. It is generally not understood that in the United States there are many areas that qualify twice for federal assistance to the educational program. First of these is the general assistance that comes principally through the Elementary and Secondary bducation Act. The other great area of federal funding which, in some instances, amounts to as great a measure of aid as that I just mentioned is aid to federally-impacted areas. This is dividing the educational systems of this country into the haves and have nots, and, principally, the Seventh Congressional District falls into one of the have not areas, because of the 17 counties and seven cities, only one area gains any (feest funeral \faxloxz H. O. Geest, Director Christopher Geest 405 Sperryville Road Culpeper, Virginia AMBULANCE WITH OXYGEN Culpeper, Va. . Phone 825-03&5 substantial amount of funding under this program. The assistance to this one area, however, is substantially less than one hundred thousand dollars. The idea of this program, as originally envisioned, was worthy--to help local school systems strained by the need to serve the children of military personnel and civilian employees of the Federal Government who had not become taxpaying residents of the community. The particular hardship was created by the sudden establishment, or expansion, of a federal facility in an area, with consequent rapid influx of families with children. Today, however, the bulk of this impacted aid goes to major school systems in localities in which the Federal Government, far from being a burden to the local economy, is its mainstay-the prime generator of payrolls, with its employees forming the largest group of established residents and householders, paying local taxes. The suburban counties of Virginia and Maryland which surround the Nation’s Capital are examples. As I stated, the fact that the President has vetoed the HEW bill does not inean there will not be an H£W bill. On the contrary, It is anticipated that there wiil be an HEW bill coming to the Congress within a matter of days for funding for fiscal year 1970, which ends the 30th day of June. It is my view that this bill will direct itself principally to education needs that were covered in the former bill. Even more importantly, it is indicated that there will be a redress of the allocation of funds in the federally-impacted area assistance which may work mainly to the benefit of those areas of the United States which have not shared significantly in this program. It should be understood that already seven months of the year have passed by for funding under this bill, and to insist on spending the totals in the vetoed bill would require, in some instances, accelerated and crash-spending to be certain that money is spent before the 30th day of June, 1970. I do not think this is in the best interest of the educational system of this country nor in the best interest of the taxpayers of the United States, particularly the Seventh District of Virginia. It is generally not understood that one of the reasons the Appropriations Committee originally supported a funding that amounts to less than that which was finally approved was because, in view of laws establishing certain formulas for the distribution and allocation of funds, it was the feeling of the majority of the Committee that substantial increases not only would accrue those areas which already were receiving substantial funding under federally-impacted aid, but also would require the funding of more money into areas that did not need this assistance as much as some other areas of the United States. There is a need, I believe, to review in the federal government, not only in education but in Lions Support Eye Research The Christmas season is over, but you can still give a wonderful gift. And if there is a greater gift than sight, it would be hard to convince some 880,000 Lions around the world who are supporting a mammoth program of sight conservation. Today, through eye research financed by Lions and others, it is possible to transplant a cornea and bring sight to a person who may have been blind for life. Tomorrow, through further research, it maybe possible to cure glaucoma and other eye diseases which cause blindness and to transplant other portions of the human eye to bring light to the sightless. Nearly all Lions Clubs collect old eyeglasses and send them to a classification center, also supported by Lions, which grades them according to lens power and distributes them to the needy throughout the world. Virginia Lions support the Old Dominion Eye Bank, headquartered at the Richmond Hospital in Richmond. The Eye Bank is a non-profit organization which serves as a receiving center for human eyes, donated by those who have pledged their eyes to the Eye Bank on death. Eye Bank officials remain in constant contact with opthalmologists throughout the state • and through an amateur radio “Eyeball Network” with others throughout the nation - so that human eyes, as received, may be swiftly dispatched to the area of greatest need. Currently, Virginia Lions are seeking pledges of eye donations from their fellow citizens. Eyes so donated, on death, to the Eye Bank are used to provide cornea transplants - to bring sight to the blind. A pledge cart) may be secured from any Rappahannock Lions Club member or Raymond Johnson, Woodville, Va. Tel. 987-8444. Lions members also have formed a speakers bureau which provides the Eye Bank story to interested clubs and organizations. If you would like to have a program presented to your club or organization call Raymond Johnson 987-8444. One month notice is requested. ► many other fields, the operation of formulas built into law which, in some instances, work to the advantage of areas already receiving substantial assistance and operate against areas that are Hwaasiflt-aivc^,. jg9_, “T' have communicated ‘W officials of the Executive Branch of the Federal Government my concern that there be developed an appropriation bill that addresses itself as fairly and as equitably as possible to the areas that are funded under this program. It is my understanding that every effort is being made to construct a new bill that will endeavor to do these things. One of the principal areas that I have discussed is the great help we have been giving to vocational education over a period of years. I might point out that, in our area, the thrust of the vocational education program is not subject to the many criticisms leveled at this program as it operates eisewnere. in some otner areas ot the United States, skills that are subject to instruction are not relative, in some instances, to the present demands of our economy. Although many people are not aware of this, the State of Virginia has been in the forefront in developing progressive vocational education programs, and this has been a very bright facet of our education effort. The Virginia vocational education program has been developed in coordination with the industrial development program of the Commonwealth of Virginia in order to make available to industry the job skills that are needed by new, expanding and changing industries. The increase in funding which went to vocational education represented, however, a relatively small portion of the bill when considered against the bill as a whole. I am given to understand that, in the Administration’s new proposal, there is expected to be recognition of the need for substantial support of vocational education funds, and I do not anticipate a reduction in this field as large as has been in some earlier discussions of the veto. QANCES DISCONTINUED The weekly dances sponsored | by Sperryville Fire Department and held at the Sperryville fire ball, have been discontinued until further notice. Membership Is Goal of Local Farm Bar. Allen Stokes Is serving his third term as president of the Rappahannock County Farm Bureau and his major goal for the organization this year Is to increase membership In order that the Farm Bureau may better serve the needs of the county. Stokes, a livestock and grain producer, has been a Farm Bureau member for ten years, and a strong believer in the theory that much can be accomplished by people working together for the good of the community. “I am convinced that each citizen has an obligation to give of his time and talents which would contribute to the well being of the county and state in which he lives,” said Stokes. Stokes’ activities are not confined to the Rappahannock County Farm Bureau. He is an active member of the Presbyterian Church of Culpeper. He is also a member of the Board of Lord Fairfax Community College in Middletown, Va. and the, Virginia Livestock Association. The rarmer-busmessman has been in agriculture for 20 years in Rappahannock County. He operates a 489-acre farm, 30 in small grain, and has a herd of Charolais beef cattle. He pointed out that the organization is observing "Farm Bureau Day" on February 10 in recognition of the contributions Farm Bureau has made in Rappahannock. Some of the activities of the organization include being the voice of the farmer and rural Virginia in the General Assembly in Richmond on such matters as land tax and Constitutional revisions. •* At the county level, Farm Bureau representatives attend the Board of Supervisors meetings to help solve problems dealing with schools, roads, local taxation, zoning and natural resources.

MOM, DON'T BLOW YOUR HOLIDAY COOL; PAPER PLATE* HAVE “ARRIVED" Much of the family fun and gastronomical pleasure of the festive holiday season, come from odd-houre raids on the barely dented turkey and other assorted left-overs. Fun, that is, for everyone but Mother, if she gets stuck with the usual accumulation of dirty dishes left by the kids home from college, their friends, and drop-in relatives who are chronic dishwashing drop-outs. But things can be made much easier for Mom if she keeps a stack of the new, sophisticated paper plates on hand for refrigerator raiders. No worry, either, about the social acceptability of rigid, plastic-coated Firmware plates, made in lovely chinalike Williamsburg and Pottery designs by Fonda Diviaion of Standard Packaging Corporation. / No longer are these paper plates identified solely with picnics and summer barbecues.

Gibb The third week of the 1970, General Assembly has begun, and the matter which is generating the most interest and concern is to determine how to finance within our present tax structure all of the many services needed by our citizens. The members of General Assembly will have to establish priorities for these various services. Governor Holton has recommended several programs, which will cost many millions of dollars, including the $9 refund from the sales tax on food. Undoubtedly many variations of this tax relief program will be introduced for consideration by the legislators. Such a refund is desirable so long as revenues needed for the other necessary programs are not adversely affected. Bills have been introduced increasing the tax on alcohol, tobacco, and gasoline. The increase in the gasoline tax would be uaed exclusively for the Department of Highway’s program. Although no legislation has as yet been introduced, there is a Homestead Air Force Base, Florida for his next assignment.

Today’s Woman Judy Burtner Extension Agent, Hfm Economics Removal of Wax on Floors All resilient floors need to be stripped of old wax periodically to simplify cleaning and prevent “yellowing.” Stripping removes the accumulation of dirt which has been ground into successive wax layers and eliminates the buildup of wax itself which is a major cause of floor discoloration. ' ‘ - Many homemakers have the mistaken notion that . it is necessary to perform a stripping operation before each new application of wax. This is not only a waste of time but may e harmful to the flooring material. Wax removal is necessarily a harsh cleaning procedure which, if done to excess, can result in a “washed-out” or faded floor appearance. Most resilient flooring manufacturers recommend only occasional stripping • two or three times a year depending on traffic conditions and frequency of waxing. If you use a wax that dries to a high shine on linoleum, asphalt or rubber tile, or vinyl floors, you should take off all the old wax at housecleaning time. Wax may accumulate in areas that do not get much traffic. Use a wax remover which loosens and softens the wax coating yet does not damage the flooring or irritate your hands. Between stripping operations, floors should be damp-mopped or washed with a dilute detergent solution to remove surface soil, and waxed as needed. Only when normal cleaning fails to achieve a satisfactory level of cleanliness, or fails to restore the true color of the flooring material, should complete wax removal be comtemplated. A good way to determine whether a floor is in need of stripping is to perform a test removal operation in a small, inconspicuous area of the room and compare results against the surrounding floor area.r If the surrounding floor is noticeably yellower in appearance, or if the pattern colors are dull by comparison, chances are that a thorough wax stripping is in order. Unlike ordinary cleaning procedures, the object of wax stripping is to dissolve and completely remove the protective wax film, leaving the wearing surface of the floor fully exposed. There are two ways to go about stripping a floor. You can prepare your own stripping solution by combining one-half to one cup of ammonia and one cup of detergent in one gallon of warm water. Test the solution first on a small section of flooring to see if it affects the built-up wax film. Most waxes will soften and/or turn cloudy after several minutes’ exposure to the cleaner. Some of the hgrder-to-remove waxes, however, will require more ammonia. As a generml rule when preparing your own solution, it is advisable to use as little ammonia as possible in the stripping solution since too strong a conberatration can be harmful to some resilient floors. If the guesswork and mess of making a solution is too much for you, use one of the new prepackaged, convenient one-step wax removers that strip away built-up wax as they clean your floors. They can be purchased in flooring retail stores and food stores. They are made with special wax-removing chemicals such as ammonia and other alkalis which loosen and help dissolve wax buildup, discolored waxes, finishes, and detergent-resistant floor polishes. / F abrics in the Home Blacksburg-One way to avoid dkily conflict with your youngsters is to select child-resistant fabrics for your home. Child-resistance means durability and cleanability. A closely woven fabric with a strong fiber for its surface makes the best furniture cover, said Mrs. Mildred Payne, extension home furnishings specialist at Virginia Tech. Cotton and nylon are both durable fibers and are excellent used as face yarns in upholstery fabrics. Many upholstered fabrics have a stabilizing latex backing which keeps the yarns from slipping and adds durability, she added. Because of modem technology almost any type,of fabric, such as tweeds, matelasses, and even velvets, can be made from these durable fibers and are quite practical for family fabrics. Vinyl plastics often are a good choice for active families. A woven or knitted fabric backing will add strength and should always be used on vinyl fabrics used for upholstered pieces. Many vinyls have a textured leather look, but avoid those which appear to imitate fine fabrics, Mrs. Payne cautioned. When choosing a family fabric, avoid those with loose loops which can catch buckles or invite poking with a sharp object, she added. A tight nubby texture is a good v choice. A soil-resistant finish is almost a must for family fabrics, too. For slipcovers, check for washability and shrinkage control. If your year^ of sticky-fingered children are behind you and your bouncing teens have settled down, perhaps you are ready to indulge in fancy fabrics,” said Mrs. Payne. “You no longer have to consider durability and cleanability thej prerequisite to your choice; you' can turn to delicate colors and more elegant weaves.” “Satins, damasks and brocades will fall into this category,” she added. “These luxurious fabrics are often considered a part of the traditional picture and are associated with early French, English and Colonial American designs.” If you choose some Of the more elegant fabrics, you will want to give them the necessary care to keep them elegant, Mrs. Payne noted. Periodic cleaning by a professional is usually necessary and a weekly vacuuming is good insurance against permanent soil. A soil resistant finish on these' fabrics also is good insurance.

What’s Happening In Education Sullivan Comes to Rappahannock An innovative reading program is being implemented on a limited experimental basis at Rappahannock Elementary School. Developed after extensive research and much testing under a Carnegie Foundation Grant to isolate significant educational problem areas, Dr. M. W. Sullivan’s Reading Program is successfully teaching many children to read who were formerly considered “hopeless”. Linguistically structured to present the student with consistent development of sound and word recognition, the program can be started with a student who has not yet even mastered the alphabet. Over 1,0Q0,000 students throughout the country will be using this program this year. In the Sullivan Program the Byrd Ranked Third In Senate Voting Sen. Harry F. Byrd, jr., D-Va., voted on 97% of all Senate roll calls during 1968 and 1969 while making 150 speeches in Virginia. “This has meant very tight schedules," Byrd said this week, “but I intend to do my best to keep it up." The Senator said he feels his primary responsibility is to be recorded on issues before the Senate* “But I want to report as frequently as possible to the people of Virginia,” he added. Byrd ranked third in the Senate in voting participation last year. His record of 98% was topped only by Sen. William Proxmire, D-Wis., with 100%, and Sen. Spessard Holland, D-Fla., with 99%. Since bis arrival in Washington! in 1965, Byrd also has presided' over the Senate more than any ( other member, according to official Senate records. I “Presiding over the Senate is valuable experience and is an excellent way to master its; complex rules,” said Byrd, who has been successful with three-fourths of his amendments to legislation. He has sponsored 16 floor amendments since coming to thej Senate, and of these, 12 have! been approved. Bradley Williams were Mr. and Mrs. Sonny Williams and family of Manassas.

He can then begin to associate these sounds with written symbols and relate them to words. During research studies on the Sullivan Reading Program, the children themselves indicated clearly that they could best understand new letters and words when they were presented in a one-to-one relationship with an illustration that provided direct clues to word meaning. Another key skill required by reading students is the ability to recognize small differences in similar words, for instance the difference between “pin” and “pan”. The Sullivan Reading Program is specifically designed to develop this discrimination right from the beginning. As a student proceeds through the Sullivan Reading Program, he (1) experiences continuous success in small, relatively easy tasks; (2) is constantly reinforced in learned knowledge by frequent “reviews” in later materials; (3) is easily led from known information to new material; (4) always has immediate knowledge of the correctness of his responses to avoid inadvertent “learning” of incorrect information, and (5) in addition each student can proceed through the program at his own speed, thus feeling much more secure in his progress. The results of this program will be carefully studied at the end of a two year period to determine whether the program should be used by more chiildren.

New Spread for Mrs. Washington's Bed Is Labor of Love to Be Unveiled Today A STITCH IN TIME. Lucy Catherine Bowie of Culpeper and Keith T. Pitzer of Fredericksburg provided the stitches in time which allowed the Mary Washington House to preserve a cover that has been on Mrs. Washington’s bed since 1929. The project spanned nearly three years. , V __ an tn» '*■ I Lll‘“ '“'i ‘ i -j ... • i-aiiiit: American Silk Mills and the Orange Review have helped make possible a ceremony at the Mary Washington House, Fredericksburg, at 11 a.m. this morning, Feb. 5. The ceremony is open to the public when the local chapter of Association for Preservation of Virginia Antiquities will officially place a quilted bed cover on view for the first time. AmericanSilk Mills made the silk and a linotype operator at the Orange Review, Lucy Catherine Bowie, did the construction and quilting. By 1967, the Frehch 18th century antique piece of bed furnishings in Mary Washington House was showing signs of deterioration, and a committee began preparations for its repair. Repair turned into ultimate replacement, nearly ffiree years later. Mrs. Levin J. Houston III, director of Fredericksburg APVA branch, and Mrs. Edgar A. Woodward, first vice director in charge of Mary Washington House, began their search for pure materials -- pure silk, pure wool, pure cotton, pure linen -- since these were the ones used in the original, and conjecture could The Versatile Computer: Writer of Checks, Tutor, Crimefighter and Handy Tool for State Legislators i Editor’s Note: This is the second article in a series on computers. It describes how computers are being used today in government, education 1 and medicine. Without the computer, government employees would be inundated by a flood of paperwork, the war on poverty and crime would be slowed and the national defense network would be severely hindered. In a matter of minutes, computers can address more envelopes and write more checks than all the world’s clerks can do in a lifetime. Computers issue approximately $20 billion in social security payments annually. But the computer as an aid to man ia much more than a superbly efficient bookkeeper. For example, NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center at Greenbelt, Md., is using one of the world’s largest computers to help determine the precise structure and environment of the earth, the Solution of the solar system and of star clusters. Computers Aid Cities In just two battles being fought in the war on poverty, agencies in Baltimore and New York City are using the computer to match individuals on their unemployed rolls with suitable jobs. The FBI, to fight crime, has established a computet-based national data file on illegal activity, called the National Crime Information Center. One of scores of national defense applications is a network of IBM System/800s used by the U. S. Marine Corps to handle global supply requests. Elsewhere, city planners in the nation’s capital are using a computer In an urban Simula-1 Midshipman at Naval Academy uses TV-like screen of computer terminal to aid hia studies. In addition to instruction, computers are being used for a host of other educational tasks. tion study, both as a teaching tool and planning aid to insure orderly and coordinated urban development. A similar use of the computer to simulate urban conditions, called Metropolis, is being employed by urbanologists in East Lansing, Mich. Legislatures and Education A number of states now use computers to obtain virtually instant access to the current status of all pending state legislation, and to search their computerized statutes during the law-making process. Computer systems in legislatures are also used, foi speedy drahing and editing of bills in process and swift printing of a bill which has passed into law. In the field of education, com- i Outers are used not only for a host of administrative chores but also for instruction Itself. Permitting greater individual!zation of instruction, the computer is expected to aignifijant1/ extend the professional talents of the teacher in the years to come. In computer-assisted instruction, for example, the machine presents course material and keeps track of students’ pr6gress. Students communicate with the computer either through a typewriter-like keyboard or a TV-like screen. Computers in Medicine The versatility of computers is illustrated by the variety of ways many hospitals across the country are employing the machines, ranging from administration to bedside patient care. The UCLA School of Medicine is using an IBM system to simulate and analyze chemical responses of blood to various factors in surgery. Mayo Clinic physicians ut St. Mary’s Hospital in Rochester, Minn., are testing a speciallybuilt monitoring system which uses a standard television set to monitor eight vitul signs, such as blood pressure and heart action, and instantly update the display of a patient’s condition. At Glens Palls Hospital in upstate New York, doctors use data from a computet at New York CityHi Sloun-Kettering Institute. for Cancer Research fuj an accurate determination of radiation dosage in cancer treatment. say how long modem synthetics will last. Letters hither and yon and sample swatches failed to bring proper texture or color. Months went by. “Have you tried the silk mill in Orange? They’re the largest in the world outside Japan,” queried Miss Bowie. The committee’s faces were blank; 36 miles from home and they writing London, New York, St. Louis, San Francisco! “Sure,” said Supt. Adolph Goiser. And that solved that. Pure linen and pure cotton came easier. Pure wool didn’t. It was finally located at Biltmore Industries, Asheville, N. C., not in quilt-batting form, but at least pure wool. It worked most satisfactorily. How-come a linotype operator is a quilter? “Well,” said Miss Bowie, “My grandmother made a quilt in the 1840’s -- which I have - and my mother and aunt were both quilters and they taught me. I’ve been a linotype operator only about 26 years; I’ve been quilting for three generations.” Did you know the American quilt is one of our country’s original art forms?” queried the quilter, “A quilt is strictly American. Other countries did quilting but only to hold two pieces of material together, or for warmth, or to puff a design. “I heard Miss Lillian Gish on a talk show recently (talk shows are good for quilting) state that the only truly American art form was motion pictures: originated and developed in America. It’s an American art form, all right, but it isn’t the only one. “American women created the art form of quilts, with a theme, with a reason and point in being made. They made them, and named them, though it is generally thought they got the men of the house to engineer some of the patterns. “The names are charming: Log Cabin, Duck’s-foot-in-Mud, Toad-in-the-Puddle, Jacob’s Ladder, Job’s Tears, Joseph’s Coat, Turkey Tracks, The Devil’s Claws, Rocky Road to Kansas, 54-40 or Fight, The Old Town Pump, Drunkard’s Path, Philadelphia Pavement. Tail-of-Benjamin’s-KiU. X2om and. Bfeans,'Cats' airdMitur,:: Caesar’s Crown, Rob Peter to Pay Paul, Dolley Madison Star (stars of every shape and description) -- hundreds of ’em! The names are as fascinating as the quilts.” “Yes,” drawled the quitter, “it’s an interesting hobby •• but it certainly is time-consuming.” The quilted bed-cover at Mary Washington House consumed 1200 yards of thread and more than 800 hours of time. It is estimated that there are a third-of-a-million stitches, and a month’s planning to get the design as near a duplicate of the original as possible. The linen center of the bed-cover was hand-painted by the Fredericksburg portrait artist, Keith T. Pitzer. The Mary Washington House bed-cover is not a “quilt, per se,” Miss Bowie explains, saying that Mary Ball Washington probably did not know the American art form of a quilt as we know it, but her illustrious son could have, for patriotic themes were most popular among late 18th century quilts in the new nation. A few of these are now in museums or highly prized in private collections. Several blue-ribbon quilts are in Miss Bowie’s own collection. “I’ve one that took 1400 hours just to quilt,” she says, “and that doesn’t count the hours it took my mother (Mrs. Robert Stringfellow Bowie) to piece it. It is an authentic copy of ‘The Boston Common’.” A quilt of Miss Bowie’s original design is white-on-white, a history of the Green family. Itv is at “Greenwood,” the home of Mr. and Mrs. Angus M. Green in Culpeper. MEMORIAL PROGRAM Yotir Memorial Gift is a fitting tribute to a loved one.

Kenyon, Game Warden I The year or season just past proved to be overall a success to holders of big game licenses. Virginia deer hunters downed 34,117 whitetails during the season just ended. This was the best year since 1963. The kill of 13,620 west of the Blue Ridge and over 20,000 east represents an increase of about 6,000 deer statewide. Turkey hunters set an all time record in the western counties by taking just over 4,000 of these birds. Eastern hunters had good success and with the 1,453 turkeys taken during the Spring the total for the year reached nearly 6,000 statewide. Bear hunters success fell off some from last year probably because of a lack of mast. The 276 taken, however, was good for the Old Dominion. Lack of mast seems to have opposite effects on bear and deer. Usually a good mast crop means a high bear kill and a poor crop a poor kill. The deer kill seems to go up during the lack of mast. When the mast is plentiful they stay back out of sight.
