The great copter circled the town then hovered momentarily and settled comfortably on the lawn of Avon Hall like a large nesting bird. From this, Brigadier General Fred Gen. Fred W. Vetter W. Vetter, Jr., U.S.A.F. made a dramatic entry into the Fourth of July celebration at Washington, Va. where he was guest speaker. This was the result of two weeks of planning and preparation by Mr. and Mrs. William Carrigan who directed n impressive patriotic program and provided a brilliant display of fireworks for town and county residents and those passing through to enjoy. Broadcast band music surging through speaker* wafted aovoaa the hills around Avon Lake which reflected the luminari star outlined on the lawn in front of the house. A re-run of John F. Kennedy’s inaugural address was used as a preamble to Gen. Vetter’s talk which was a contrast to the present “me, now” philosophy of the public. Gen. Vetter, who was introduced by Mr. Carrigan, is in command of one of the largest transportation wings in the Air Force, with headquarters at Dover AFB, Del. He is an active jet pilot and aeronautical engineer. The helicopter, referred to as the Jully Green Giant, is the type used in war areas and will carry 25 combat-ready troops or two jeeps. It can be made amphibious by simply retracting the landing gear and has a maximum speed of 160 miles per hour. At the conclusion of Gen. Vetter’s speech, with a spotlight focused on him, everyone stood for the pledge to the flag while the “Star Spangled Banner” (Continued on Page 2) The Jolly Green Giant, USAF helicopter, landed on the lawn at Avon Hall, home of Mr. and Mri.

SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Entered as 2nd Class Mail at the P. O. at Washington, Va. Subscriptions (in, advance) $3.00 in Rappahannock and adjacent counties; $3.50 East coast; $4.00 mid-west; $4.50 Weal. Letter To Editor Editor The Rappahannock News Dear Editor: I was one of those in attendance at the Independence Day festivities at Washington, Va. I wish to express my appreciation to ail those who worked so hard to produce such a fine program. , This includes the children’s pageant at the Rappahannock Library. They were excellent. In the evening we enjoyed a fine display of good old-fashioned American patriotism. My only regret (and one shared by several others, I discovered) was that the program personnel were apparently unable to secure a tape of President Nixon’s . Inaugural Address. In this time of ’ national unrest it would have ' been most appropriate; however, ' I thoroughly enjoyed the other : participants. The fireworks display was thrilling, but to me the highlight ‘ of this portion of the program was the flag burning ceremony. Those who planned and directed all the activities certainly deserve to be commended for their efforts and the success of | the day. Sincerely, Charles F. Kindred Amissvilie, Va. Traffic Statistics Traffic deaths in Virginia for the first six months of 1970 numbered a tentative 552 to compare well with the 589 for the same period of 1969, Colonel H. W. Burgess, Superintendent of State Police, announced today. Colonel Burgess said he used the word “tentative” since late reports and deaths of those now carried as injured are certain to reductions in January, May and June more than counterbalanced increased in February, March and April. Monthly tolls for 1970 were January, 84; February, 103; March, 89; April, 86; May, 97, and June, 93. Comparable tols for 1969 were 98, 86, 75, 83,115 and 132 respectively. Hie 103 of February, 1970, represented an all time high for the month. As Library Lines If you didn’t see the collections of antique and foreign dolls and antique firearms displayed at the Rappahannock Library on July 4, you really missed something. Both collections were impressive for size, variety and quality; and the books about these hobbies were noteworthy. About 225 persons signed the register in the Library, and total attendance at outdoor and indoor activities is estimated at 250-275. The box lunches, bake sale articles, and lemonade were delicious, as were the candied apples. The pageant was effective and short-appreciated because of the heat. Grateful thanks is due and expressed to all of the committee members and workers who so generously gave their holiday plus many earlier hours to make this event the success that it so obviously was. This is concrete evidence of what can be accomplished when a number of people work together under excellent leadership. The next event at the Library will be the monthly Information and Entertainment Program on the evening of July 24, 1970. The speaker and subject will be announced next week. WATCH FOR THIS! library Hours: Wednesday and Friday, 1 to 5 p.m.; Saturday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Children’s Hour: Saturday, 10 to 11 a.m. late as April 20, he noted, deaths were 20 abqve the comparable 1969 score. ““The tjecord setting total of 1,304 deaths last year, an increase of 86 over that of 1968, certainly gave us room for improvement and the opportunity to achieve it,” he said. Colonel Burgess added that he had every hope this reduction trend would continue and said he felt it indicated both an improvement in driver attitude and acceptance of individual responsibility.

Well, another meeting of the retirees has come and gone. That means another year has been added to our lives. It was a bit sad when we bowed our heads in memory of those for whom ‘the golden bells had rung’. One of my old friends said, “Si, I’ll see you next year - if I am still alive.” I hope he makes it; I hope I will be there for him to see. It was a pleasant day. We, my wife and I, went with friends. I guess it is only natural that fellows from the same alma mater have a certain rapport, but as a group we were all brothers. Oh yes, the person mentioned last year, who had passed his four score years, was with us. It was a pleasure to see him again. It is my sincere hope that we will be able to enjoy these meetings for years, if it is in accord with The Divine Will. Our pastor read from The Book that three score and ten was the natural span of a man’s life, that if he lived beyond that he was living on borrowed time. Borrowed from whom or where? My people are long lived. It has been predicted that I will live into the nineties, or that I will live to be ninety-two. Assuming that such a prediction were true, I would live twenty-two years on borrowed time. Now, here is the way I reason the matter - if I borrow time I borrow it from my own soul’s manifestation here on this plane. Maybe in my last incarnation I only lived to be forty-eight - or maybe in my next the scales will be balanced. I’ll tell you a secret, I will leave it to HIM who knows what is best. Like Whittier in his Eternal Goodness,“--beside the Silent Sea I wait the muffled oar; No harm from Him can come to me On ocean or on shore And Thou, O Lord! by whom are seen Thy creatures as they be, Forgive me if too close I lean My human heart to Thee.” returned to her home in McLean after spending two weeks with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Hitt.

Examining a quilt at the illustrated lecture are, left to right, Mrs. Jacqueline Newton, Farm Payments on Early Schedule About 95 percent of the 1970 farm program payments earned by producers in Rappahannock County have been made, according to HJS. Barksdale, Chairman of the Rappahannock County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation (ASC) Committee. Thanks to the One cooperation of participating farmers, we are well on the way to completing payments in the feed grain and wheat programs. The U.S. Department of Agriculture this year made a commitment to make farm payments earlier than ever before-and we are keeping that commitment. The A SC Committee Chairman said that in previous years partial payments had been made in advance to feed grain participants. Budget restraints this year made it impossible to make any farm payments before July 1, the beginning of the government’s fiscal year. As soon as that date arrived, however, farm program payments began. We expect to complete practically all payments by August 1 here in Rappahannock County, which will be the earliest date we have ever completed farm program payments. Producers participating in the farm programs have earned payments by helping stabilize markets and by giving up the use of productive cropland that would otherwise have been put into cash crops or other r LOOK and LEARN BY A C GORPON 1.

The farm programs in which they participate help achieve a balance between commodity supply and demand. They also help producers work together to curb excess production and strengthen markets.

Todays Woman Judy Burtner Extension Agent, Home Economic* Food Poisoning Summer means family outings, parties, plenty of tasty dishes to eat and, of course, the possibility of food poisoning. Many cases of intestinal upsets, often referred to as food poisoning, occur every year because of food mishandling. inis is especially true during the summer months. While the exact cause for the illness is not always determined, it is evident from the symptoms that the food had become contaminated through mishandling. One of the bacteria responsible for the majority of intestinal upsets caused by food mishandling is the gold colored staphylococcus auruis. This micro-organism is prevalent on hands, utensils, in the air, and in fact, most everywhere, so it can easily contaminate unprotected food. Food often prepared for picnics include meat sandwiches, egg and potato salads, pies and similar items which are an excellent media for bacterial growth. When food becomes, contaminated with staph, the organisms multiply undetected and produce a toxin which causes an intestinal disorder. To prevent bacterial action, food should be kept free of re-contamination after it is prepared. The temperature of prepared food should be kept above 120 degrees or below 50 degrees. Keep hot foods hot; cold foods cold. Food poisoning organisms grow best at room temperature - 65 to 96 degrees F. Another group of bacteria called salmonella are also trouble makers at picnics. They do not produce a toxin as do staphloccl, but cause a gastro intestinal infection which persists longeri than an attack covered by staph toxins. Salmonela organisms may also enter food by Improper handling or from Individuals carrying the organism. Hands should be washed thoroughly before food Is handled. This is particularly Important with raw foods for salsds and foods that will not be reheated at the picnic area. Food should be' kept out of sunlight snd away from Insects and animals.

If you learn to identify poison ivy, you can avoid it or apply measures for its control. Poison ivy and poison oak come in a variety of sizes and shapes which leads to confusion in identification. The stems may be trailing or climbing vines or erect growing shrubs depending upon the environment where the plants are growing. The leaf shapes range from smooth to toothed or lobed. Most leaves have surfaces which are shiny and without hairs. Some experts divide the various types of poison ivy and oak into 7 different species, others into 3 or 4 species, and some experts regard it all as one species with many different MARKETS r FRONT ROYAL LIVESTOCK July 2, 1970 VEAL: Ch. 4 prime heavy 230-260 $38 to $43;pood 180-240 $36 to $41; standard 180-240 $25 to $34 LAMBS: prime $29.30; ch. $28 SLAUGHTER CATTLE: Heifers: standard $23 to $25; utility $21 to $22 Cows: Utility 4 com. $21 to $23.76; canner 4 cutter $16 to $20 Bulls: Utility 4 com. $26 to $29.90; cutter $21 to $25 STOCK-FEEDER CATTLE: : Steers: 300-600 lbs.: pood $33 to $36; med. $30 to $32; com. $26 to $29 Steers: 600-750 lbs.: good 4 ch. $31 to $35; med. $28 to $30; com. $24 to $27 Steers: 800 lbs. 4 up: med. $27 to $28; com. $21 to $25 Heifers: 300-500 lbs : good $28 to $30; med. $24 to $26; com. $20 to $23 Heifers: 600-750 lbs.: med. $23 to $25; com. $20 to $22 types. Regardless of what you call it, it still causes the same discomfort to susceptible individuals. The important tnmg to remember is that poison ivy or oak has its leaflets in groups of threes. Virginia creeper is often confused with poison ivy. However, Virginia creeper has leaflets in groups of fives and is not poisonous. Poisoning is caused by a substance called urushiol, which is present in all parts of the plant. It is released from the plant by bruising. Actual contact with the poisonous principle is required to produce dermatitis. Contact with the poisonous principle may occur without actually touching the plant. It may occur by burning plants, handling contaminated clothing or pets which have been in contact with poison ivy. Plants that have been dead as long as one year still retain the ability to poison. Not all individuals are susceptible to poisoning, and susceptible individuals vary in sensitivity. Death has occurred in extreme cases. Apparent immunity may be lack of exposure to the plants. Immunity may also change as individuals considered immune have later been poisoned. Hand removal of the plant is risky for sensitive individuals but may be performed by those who are immune. Wear protective clothing and rubber gloves. Wash thoroughly as soon as possible after contact with the plant. Contaminated clothing should be washed before wearing again. If the poison ivy is growing among desirable plants, hand removal is the most effective method of control. Amitrole (Amino triazole) is ^WE HELP YOU . SJ^L-^do fj YOURSELF?*! Commonwealth!

Prepare the spray by mixing 1 lb. of AMS to 1 gal. of water and then wet the actively growing foliage. Repeat treatment may be necessary.
