Hahn said there were lots of big deer tracks in the snow, but he waited for a small tender one. Does that sound like a fish story, you know, the big one that got away? No. Va.

Local Insurance Company to Meet The annual meeting of the Rappahannock Home Mutual Fire Insurance Company will be held January 9, 1971 beginning at 9 a.m. in the courthouse at Washington, Va. quarterly meeting will be held Friday, Feb. 19 at 7:30 p.m. in the community room of Second National Bank in Culpeper. All foxhunters, as well as those interested in the sport are invited. Inflation Impact On Local Area To what extent has the rising cost of living affected residents of Rappahannock County? How much income does a local family have to have these days to equal the purchasing power it had four years ago? Considerably more, according to data obtained from the Department of Labor, the National Industrial Conference Board and others. In the four-year period, they show, the cost of the standard basket of goods and services has gone up nearly 22 percent. The rise this . year was a record-breaker, about 7.1 percent, according to preliminary figures. It topped the 1969 increase of 6.5 percent, the 1968 hike of 4.9 percent and the 3.2 percent rise recorded in 1967. Because of the erosion in the value of the dollar, the average Rappahannock County family finds that it takes nearly $5 now to buy the same amount of goods and services that could have been obtained for $4 in 1966. Specifically, for the family that had an income of $5,000 four years ago, approximately $6,080 would be required today. Those that had $6,500 available to them at that time need $7,900 now. Families that were in the $7,500 bracket have to have $9,100 currently and those at the $10,000 level, nearly $12,200. As a result, for the unemployed and for those who are living on fixed incomes, the going is especially rough. Although many people feel that the higher price of food is causing them tthe most trouble, that is not borne out by the facts, according to the Department of Labor. Its studies show that taxes have been rising faster than any other item in the average budget. Medical care and other services are not far behind. The upward thrust in the cost of living has affected consumer prices across the board in every area of the country. An indication of it, in Rappahannock County, is the amount of money that-was spent in local retail stores last year, per family, and the amount that was spent four years before. It came to $3,019 per family in the past year as compared with $2,600, which the same amount of goods would have cost four years previously. Arts Group Sets January Meeting The Rappahannock Arts and Crafts Group will meet Tuesday, January 12, 1971 at 10 a.m. in the home of Mrs. H. R. Terhune on Route 626 off Route 611 near Amissville. For directions phone 937-4686. Any woman interested in crafts is welcomed to come to this meeting. Bring with you some craft material you have made and be prepared to give a short explanation of the process. Bring a sandwich and coffee will be available.

Warren and Rappahannock Adopt School Lunch Policy In accordance with Public Law 91-248 and Revised Regulations of the National School Lunch Program, the Warren-Rappa* hannock County School Boards have adopted policies to implement the provisions of the new regulations. The policy provides that lunches be served free or at a reduced price to those children determined by the local school officials to be unable to pay the full price for their lunches. The application procedure provides that a form be completed and returned to the school. Copies of the form will be furnished parents and additional copies will be available at the principal’s office in each school. The form is simple to complete and requests information needed to determine economic need based on income and number of persons in the family and any unusual circumstances or hardships which affect the family’s ability to pay for school lunches. The application information will be confidential and will be used only for the purpose of determining eligibility. Under provisions of the policy, the principal is the local official Truck- Car Crash In Amissville A car and truck were involved in a collision in Amissville on Route 211 yesterday morning. According to Trooper P. P. Dicks, Charlie Compton of Amissville operating a 71 Ford was attempting to turn around andi was struck by a 67 Ford truck. The truck, operated by Eric Cordell Conrad of Toledo, Ohio, was traveling west on the highway. No personal ihjury resulted from the crash and damage to the truck was estimated at $350. Damage to the auto was set at $800 and Mr. Compton was charged with failing to yield the right of way. At 2:30 a.m. Sunday morning, three miles east of Sperryville on Route 622 two vehicles collided on a hill. Trooper J. B. Willis investigated the collision and reported the operators as Harrison Albert Gatewood of Washington, Va. in a 68 Chevrolet and Robert Glascoe Douglas of Luray in a 69 Pontiac. Damage to the cars was set at $1200 to the Chevrolet and $500 to the Pontiac. No charges were made.

Post Office wishes to remind patrons who receive mail on the Rural Route and Star Route that their mail can not be delivered unless an approach to their box is cleared of snow. Your help and cooperation will enable us to serve you better. Trash problems are still with us and will be a major topic when the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors meets Thursday, today. The dumpster units near Huntly are surrounded by tree butts cut into chunks and deposited in that area. This was the scene several weeks ago and since then a festive holiday air has been applied with the addition of used Christmas trees. Maybe the county can go into the lumber or wood business. Rappahannock Requests SCC to Reconsider Permit Granted Utility Company Here The Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors has asked the Virginia State Corporation Commission for reconsideration of a permit which it granted on dune 11, 1970 to the Potomac Edison Co. of Virginia for construction of a 138 KV transmission line from its existing Riverton station in Warren Co. for a distance of approximately 30 miles, most of it through Rappahannock Co. to a proposed 138 KV step down substation located at Boston in Culpeper Co. This appeal was revealed by Commonwealth Attorney George H. Davis and Attorney John J. Dwyer before a packed courtroom at a hearing by the Rappahannock County Board of Zoning Appeals held on Dec. 30 to consider the request of the Potomac Edison Co. for a special use permit under the county’s zoning law. Attorney Dwyer also informed the board that he had, as co-counsel along with Mr. Davis, filed a second application to the State Corporation Commission for reconsideration of the permit on behalf of a group of landowners with an interest in the proceedings. In the face of this surprise action by the attorneys preliminary to the formal hearing, the Zoning^, Jioard, chaired by Admiral Josef M. Gardiner, recessed the hearing and deferred action until thirty days after the State Corporation Commission has made a ruling on the appeals In a series of charges made against the Potomac Edison Co. to the Zoning Board, Attorney Dwyer attempted to show that the electric power company had “schemed and conspired” to deprive the citizens of Rappahannock County of their rights and privileges of due process under the law by “steam-rolling” the permit through the State Corporation Commission without any opportunity for public notice or hearing. “And now,” Mr. Dwyer told the Commission, “the^ are treating you the same way they treated the Commission. They’re asking you to give them carte blanche without even filing the proper documents ahead of time.” J. Sloan Kuykendall of Winchester, attorney for the Potomac Edison Company along with Duncan Gibb of Front Royal, told the Board that he was not going to attempt at that time to answer all the allegations. He said the power company, as its franchise provides, had been studying the area’s power needs and had determined that the southern end of Rappahannock County needed this line. He said tn^ it was not the function of the State Corporation Commission to say where electric lines would be built. This high-powered line, he said, was designed to serve the entire area. To back up his charges Mr. Dwyer pointed out that there was no detailed scale map, nor in fact any map accompanying the application for a special use permit, even though the | application stated that, .there .was a map attached, that there was no list of properties through which the line was intended to pass, that at least several area residents had been persuaded to give the company permission to survey without being clearly informed for what purpose the survey was being made, that in at least one case the company had surveyed after permission had been denied and then told the property owner it had been done by mistake. He also called to the Board’s attention that the map which accompanied the Potomac Edison Company’s application before the State Corporation Commission showed two alternate routes, one west of Flint Hill and one east of Flint Hill. We have had to operate m a vacuum,” he said. He added that a list of affected property owners should be presented to the Zoning Board in advance along with a detailed scale map so that the public and the Board can familiarize themselves with the route of the transmission line well before the hearing. Mr. Kuykendall said that the Potomac Edison Company was perfectly willing to recess the hearing at this time while not conceding any of the allegations. Mr. Gibb said that it was their intention to present detailed maps and a list of affected property owners at the hearing, but promised at the request of Admiral Gardner, promised to •furnish the Board with a list of_ affected property owners the next day. An informal survey made among the audience by the newly formed Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection, according to a spokesman for the group, indicated that almost all of those present opposed any additional high powered electric transmission line through the county. Wool Payments To Be Made Payments will be made beginning about the first of April on marketings of wool and mohair completed in 1970 and reported by January 31, 1971. So reports H. S. Barksdale, Chairman of the Rappahannock County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation (ASC) Committee, who reminded producers that the 1970 marketing year under the wool and mohair program ends December 31. Wool payments are based on the difference between the incentive price (72 cents per pound of shorn wool marketed in (Continued on page 2) $ Dark brown shocks of fodder dot a hillside covered with snow, and corn stalks protrude through the white blanket to make a geometric pattern.

Being able to dress himself increases a child’s feelings of independence and self-sufficiency. It is important to recognize the time when the child is ready to dress himself. His spontaneous interest in this regard will be quite ^evident but if he is not given the opportunity, that interest will be quickly shifted. Between the 15th and 18th month, the average child begins to show a real interest in putting on clothing. At first the garments are likely to be put on inside out or backwards. Also, interest in putting on their garments jvill be spasmodic. One day he may insist upon putting on his own shirt; the ineict-^gy.-he maw. refuse to iry. The young child gets as much satisfaction from being able to fasten his garments as he gets from putting them on. Learning to fasten garments follows a fairly definite pattern, as does learning to put them on. The one-and-a-half and two year old child enjoys fumbling with buttons. He finds it amusing to zip and unzip zippers or to pull open snap fasteners. By the age of three most children odn fasten different types of fasteners, provided they I are not too small or are not located in hard to reach places. Clothes for a young child should fit his needs and interests -- not his parents’ likes and dislikes. Young children’s clothes should be the correct size, styled for freedom of choice, should be sturdy, allow for self-dressing, be suited to the weather and should be of correct weight. While all children have individual preferences about their clothes, what the child likes most in clothing is ornamentation. Buttons, bucklers on shoes, embroidery or ribbons -- all are focal points of the child’s interest on his clothes. Newness. It does not matter to the child, if the clothes are new or hand-me downs, as long as the clothes are new to him. They want to wear their new clothes at once. Color. Children like colors. The colors of an outfit is so important to a young child that he usually refers to it by its color rather the style or type. Texture. The texture of a garment means more to a young child than to an adult. The child likes the feel of soft materials. Similarity. The young child likes clothes similar to those of his playmates, not identical - but alike in style and color. Seal Campaign Short of Quota Gratitude was expressed by W. Lawson Cowart last week for Christmas Seal contributions received by the end of December by the Tuberculosis & Respiratory Disease Association of Northern Virginia. “However,” he said, “each county in the area is short of its goal and if each person who has any concern for those with emphysema or tuberculosis or who wants less air pollution in our country could contribute at least one dollar, I feel the goal can be reached.” President Cowart said the books will remain open, in the hope that necessary funds can be received and programs of the How Many Drinks Are Too Many?

Travel Up At Major Attractions Richmond-Travel in Virginia in 1970, based on attendance at major travel attractions, was up 4.5 per cent over 1969. The Virginia State Chamber of Commerce’s “Monthly Travel Barometer’’ revealed that for the January through November perjod-of the 52 reporting attractions, 36 were ahead from 2.5 to 135 per cent, three were even, and 13 were behind from one to 24 per cent according to Jack R. Harter, Director of Travel Development. Travel on Virginia’s highways by both in-state and out-of-state automobiles through November was up 3.89 per cent over the same 11-month period in 1969. Virginia auto travel was up 3.8 per cent for the 11-month period while out-of-state vehicular travel was ahead 4.88 per cent for the same 11-month period according to the Virginia Department of Highways. Business in Virginia Beach based on sales tax collections on food, lodgings and admissions posted gains of 14.7 per cent in 1970 for the January-November period when compared with the same 1969 period, Harter said. The sale of gasoline in Virginia for the first nine months of this year was ahead of the same three quarters of 1969 by 6.2 per cent. During that period of 1970 motorists purchased 1,825,258,272 gallons for which they paid $127.7 million in VirghiM 'Stahe taxes ab&otdittg -to the Virginia Petroleum Industries. Restaurants statewide had an average 5 per cent gain over the 10-month period of 1969. The Virginia Beach area was reported to be “good” with other ares being “spotty,” Harter emphasized. This was attributed to an increase of the camping type vehicles in some of the predominently camping areas. It was noted, however that there was an increase over last year of families eating out, a restaurant spokesman said. ~__ ..... ahead of last year. A motel industry spokesman reported “a good spring and summer with the over all picture up from last year. Some areas are spotty because of woijk^ on interstate highways. Over the state some units are adding new rooms to exhisting structures.” Virginia’s hotels, motor hotels and convention centers report 1970 to be “rather soft and spotty.” This is believed due to the economic coiraition in which the country finds itself Harter said. The Beach and Valley areas were good, but the metropolitan areas were “soft.” Convention business was “soft” as companies are not sending large numbers of people to conventions this year Harter emphasized. For the first 10 months inquires reported by the Virginia State Travel Service from offices in New York, Washington, D. C., Richmond and the Richmond headquarters office showed a gain of 10.9 per cent over the same period in 1969. There has been a slow but continuing trend for our areq feeder calf producers to keep rolling back their calving date. Used to be that a whopping big percentage of our calves arrived in March, April and May. Now, you will see many a new calf dotting the pasture fields in early November. And many a very practical minded cow»calf producer such as Ike Parrish, Jim Massie and Newbill Miller had a high percentage of their calf crop on the ground by Christmas Day. In talking with cattlemen, who have a good supply of winter roughage and who normally market their calf crop in October, I find more and more who would like to have all their calves packed in-between November 1 and early January. And many of these men are becoming more tough minded about culling cows that don’t fit in this pattern. These cattlemen like having their calves come after fly time and hopefully before the severest winter weather sets in. Winter feed costs are higher, but so arq returns. „ Most agree that it is profitable to winter creep those early calves, particularly those coming in November, December and January. Only a small amount of grain will be eaten by grass time, but it will add enough energy to push he calves on and have them in a robust condition by the time cattle are turned out. High quality corn silage with a little protein supplement spread on top makes a good creep feed. So does com or a mixture of com and other farm grain with protein supplement added. If nothing else, stock the creep with your best high quality home grown hay. Before closing out, I had better ' back track a few steps, and say 1 that November and December < calves aren’t anyone’s cup of tea, < My friend, Clark Jones from up in * Clark Hollow, will be the first to < tell you so. And what’s more he is I right. Certainly, all factors, such as labor, calving facilities, market, pasture systems, and winter feed supply should be taken into consideration. We have an ample supply of Farm Record Books and Farmers^ Tax Guides available in the office^ p Stop by for a visit and pick up a t copy. i So. Security Report, | oft vita&timiti M Housewives who employ help around the house on a regular, basis have an important mailing j chore to perform before January 31, according to Mrs. Hazel F. ^ Crumpton, social security district, manager in Winchester. ‘ It is the late fall quarterly j report of wages and the social ^ security contributions paid on ( those wages, he said. The' payment-due by the end of { January for the months of October, November, and( December-covers all household ^ employees who are paid cash wages of $50 or more by one employer in a calendar quarter. ) Contributions are based only on cash wages. Cash or tokens . given to the worker for car fare count as wages. But the room and board allowance for a “live-in” domestic employee does not ( count. I The worker and the employer each contribute 4.8 percent of the worker’s wages to social security. The tax rate beginning 1 January 1, 1971 is 5.2 percent. In some cases, the employer may choose to pay the entire 9.6 1 percent contribution himself. But ! it is the employer, Mrs. Crumpton 1 pointed out, who is responsible under the law for making the reports. More than a million household workers-maids, cooks, cleaning women, gardeners, handymen, and babysitters-are earning social security protection through the wages reported for them, she said.

Wool and mohair sales made after December 31,1970, will not be eligible for payment until early 1972. Incentive payments are made through ASCS county offices to all producers who file applications and present the necessary sales receipts and other records. Sales documents must show that all details of the sale were completed during the current marketing year-including passing title to the buyer. There must also be a record showing either actual delivery, or transfer of control of the wool or mohair to the buyer. The buyer’s total purchase price must be clearly stntprt also Proof of ownership for at least 30 days in an important requirement, the A SC Committee Chairman said. To be eligible for payments, producers must own for at least 30 days the livestock from which the wool or mohair was shorn and the unshorn lambs on which they Epply for payment. Records must e presented which clearly establish compliance with the jlO-day ownership requirement. . Requests for 1970 marketing vear payments under the National Wool Act may be filed with the Rappahannock County ASCS office, as soon as the sales documents are available, but should be filed not later than January 31, 1971, to ensure early payment.

The new van is an integral part of an exchange system involving Virginia’s two medical schools and ip other teaching institutions and hospitals in the Southeast with the primary aim of matching available cadaver kindeys and the most suitable recipients for transplants. The two instances in December of kidney transport via the new van are typical of the mobility of organ exchange among the member institutions of the Southeastern Regional Kidney Procurement Group. The van is the latest addition to the group’s network of communicatiohs, transport, and equipment facilities. The van was acquired early this fall through a grant from the Ford Motor Company Fund to the Department of Surgery at MCV, the Health Sciences Division of Virginia Commonwealth University. In a case involving the van’s operation in early December, kidneys removed from a cadaver donor at Emory University-Grady Hospital in Atlanta were sent by Navy jet to Richmond, arriving at 10:30 p.m. The donor’s cells were typed and found to match with a recipient at the University^ of Virginia. The organs were perfused for 12 hours on MCV’s preservation apparatus, a special machine that can maintain a kidney for up to 48 hours. The machine, still perfusing the kidneys, then was transferred to the new van, which is equipped to supply power for it. The van was dispatched to Charlottesville. Another instance occurred in , mid-December when donor kidneys were obtained from a f cadaver donor in Baltimore, Md. The organs were removed at 7:45 : p.m. The kidneys, packed in ice in a styrofoam box for shipping, , were enroute by 8:15 p.m. from j the hospital for a commercial air : flight to Richmond. Virginia state police picked up i the organs at Byrd Field at 9:50 i p.m. and delivered them to MCV surgeons at 10:20 p.m. for typing and perfusion on the machine. Kidney cell cross-matching at MCV again indicated that the most suitable recipient was one awaiting a transplant at Charlottesville. The transport van took the organs to Charlottesville for 2 p.m. surgery the next day. Reports from the University of Virginia indicate that both j transplant patients are doing well. To date more than 250 kidney transplants have been performed at Virginia’s two medical schools. The Southeastern Regional Kidney Procurement Group has a registry of more than 200 persons as potential recipients of transplants in North Carolina, Maryland, Virginia, Georgia, Tennessee, and the District of Columbia. 1 CLEAN-LOW COST f HEATING OIL Our Fuel Tracks Are On the Go!

Blacksburg—Millions of American women will demand some very good reasons for doing so before they support any move for the United States to adopt the metric system of measures. The United States is the world’s only large nation still using ounce-pound, inch-foot, pint-quart and other such measures. Just recently Great Britain, Australia and Canada began converting to the metric system, which is now used by 90 per cent of all nations. Paul Graham, Virginia Tech assistant professor in food science, reported a University of Vermont, Burlington, Vt., survey and presentation of Mr. and Mrs. America’s reaction to a suggestion the metric system be adopted. It was found that women wanted more than an explanation of the metric system with script and photos. Before they would lend their support to any proposed move from the nation’s traditional measures, they wanted to do things using metric language. They wanted cups and spoons to measure recipe ingredients. The needed metric tapes for dress-making. They wanted the proper metric aids for the rest ol their thousand-fold activities. Graham mentioned that even though conversion to the metric system would mean 3hnvlny meaj by kilograms, milk by liters and fabric by meters, there could still p be several advantages to the consumers. “The metric system can be changed to more convenient units simply by using one of several prefixes. Milii, for instance, means one-one thousandths. Deci means one-tenth. Kilo means one thousand. Centi means either s one-one hundredth or one . hundred, depending on what “ follows the prefix,” said Graham. ~ The food science researcher said, “Additional advantages to consumers may (Some in figuring price comparisons in the supermarkets. Today’s consumers must depend upon mathematical ability to compare prices of items £ weighed in ounces and pounds. The metric system could simplify . that job.” Education and training will be essential before American consumers willingly accept the new system. “Knowing it and how to use it, is somewhat like learning a foreign language,” stated Graham. “But if American consumers decide they want to compare prices of products of different sizes and brands by simply multiplying, dividing, adding or subtracting, in units of ten, we may find ourselves buying a kilogram of meat instead of buying 2.2 pounds of it,” Graham predicted.

Angus cattle on a background of snow make a picturesque study in black and white. The cattle, just finished with a sumptious meal of hay served by the farmer, go for a cool drink in the creek. A foot or more of snow fell in Rappahannock New Year s Eve and drifted in creamy mounds, blocking travel on secondary roads and making it hazardous on the highways. Sledding was good until rain Sunday night reduced much of the flow to slush. Rain continued through Monday and Monday Qight, clearing on Tuesday.

CULPEPER, VA. * ' ' Conservationist Examines A Game Food Patch In the above photograph, David Poe is shown examining a patch of shrub lespedeza on a farm in Rappahannock County. Every year the Soil Conservation Service makes a check on different types of plants to determine their effectiveness in providing food and or cover for wild game. One of the best plants, though seldom used, is shrub lespedeza. This plant grows to a height of ten feet or more. Unlike its cousin, serecia lespedeza, it does not grow into an impassable thicket. It is necessary to plant these shrubs only once, and they will continue year after year to bear large amounts of seed relished by quail, ruffed grouse, pheasant, and other birds. The seeds from shrub lespedeza are good for two or three years after they fall to the ground. This is especially important since birds usually have a difficult time finding food during the early spring or late winter.

March of Dimes Poster Child The youngest celebrity of the hour in Virginia is Stephen Wayne Hale, 7, of Lynchburg, who has been named March of Dime: State Poster Child for the annual campaign to prevent birth defects. The announcement came today from Mr. Richard D Obenshain, Virginia State Chairman of the 1971 March ol Dimes. “Birth defects can strike any family, anytime and anywhere,’ said Mr. Obenshain. “Stephen will represent some 5,500 babies borr every year in Virginia who have been denied a healthy birthright Throughout the country, the figure climbs to about a quartet of a million.” Children afflicted with birth defects can receive medical services at the March ol Dimes Birth Defects Center at University of Virginia Hospital in Charlottesville. Stephen, who was bom with - kidney and ureter abnormalities, has been hospitalized 17 times in his short life. He also suffers from bilateral deafness. But this spunky youngster is not about to be defeated by his handicaps. Ijiu sunny personality and smiling, freckled face are symbols of one little boy’s courage, and his desire to help others despite the fact he * needs a good deal of help himself. Stephen’s whole family has pitched into the ifcarch of Dimes’ fight against birth defects. His mother is Vice-Ghairman of the Lynchburg - Amherst • Campbell County March of Dimes Chapter, and this year she was chairman of the Mothers March. This is remarkable, considering that Mrs. Hale also holds down a job with Prudential Insurance Company and has two lively youngsters, Stephen and his sister Laura, 9, to look after. Mr. Hale, who is employed by Kraft Foods, is also a big booster of the March of Dimes. “We want to help inform others that with prompt medical attention, children born with defects can often lead normal lives, and even more important, that some birth defects can be prevented,” he stated. “The RH serum and rubella vaccine (German Measles) are cuttiiig into the number of infants bom every year with significant birth defects in the United States,” continued Mr. Hale. “However, there is still a massive challenge aheqd of us. The greater public support we marshall for this cause, the sooner gain support for the cause of the March of Dimes will make him very happy. After all, he’s the one who really knows just how important it is to prevent birth defects.” OBITUARIES Mrs. Irvin M. Williams ' Mrs. Betty Mills Williams, wife of Irvin M.

Describing the origin of the redder than red fruit, Fred R. Dreiling, Virginia Tech extension horticulturist, told of them having been found by chance in many orchards across the country. Observers noticed the deeper coloration as compared to apples on different trees, or even on different branches of the same tree. Realizing the deeper color would attract consumer interest, fruit men propagated the buds into seedling trees. This was the first step necessary to the production of marketable quantities of the fruit. A sport is an individual which shows deviation from the normal. It often results in a superior product. The red delicious apple came into being as a sport and captured a profitable share of the consumers’ demand. Sports .have been observed in apples and other fruit for the past 150 years. But their value to the industry went unnoticed until about 1920. During the following years, large numbers of apple sports were observed and cultivated. Now, a new round of highly olored red sports, often called super-sports have been found and propagated. Many of them stem from Delicious and are better colored than the original. They fall into three types. Some are solid red. Others show striped red where it. is difficult to get all red. Still others are apples on spur-type trees which produce heavy spurs at an early age. Orchardists are producing the new strains for many reasons. More fancy and extra-fancy grades of fruit can be grown. Spot picking, a method used to gather early fruit, can be started sooner because redder than red apples color sooner.

He told me to go out into the dark and place my hand into the hand of God, that I would find that better than a light, and safer than a known way.” I love that quotation, but is it a little trite from over-use; or maybe suffering from that ‘familiarity breeds contempt’ bit? Let’s examine it. The OLD MAN seems a little out of order. We picture the New Year as an infant while the\)ld year is slinking off into oblivion. Maybe both stand at the Gateway of the Year for an instant. It is well to ask for guidance as we approach the New Year, the UNKNOWN. Light? “Lift up the light of YOUR countenance upon us.” “Into the dark-” We are taught that with God there is no darkness at all, that in the Eternal City there is no need for the Heavenly bodies, ‘for God Himself gives light.’ “Hand of God. Does God have hands' We used to sing a song about God in which we used these words “Your hands are the only hands God has.” We have created an anthropomorphic God who has the attributes of our mortal selves. But, the Bible teaches us to pray to ‘our Father’, that gives Him gender. It also teaches that the Christ now sits on the ‘right hand side of the Father.’ So, let us place our hand in the hand of God. By so doing we will be able to face the unknown, the darkness, or anything else with confidence. It WILL ‘be safer than a known way.’ With the passing of the old year we look back and ask ourselves, “what have we gained, what have we lost?” Some of us have lost loved onesv Have we really lost them, or does the ‘rose still grow beyond the wall’? There is a great amount of comfort to me to think of our inner selves as being perennial flowers that grow in God’s Garden of Love. Maybe He transplants the more favored ones to a better spot in that garden, where He nourishes them and loves them, until they reach such a state of perfection, He transplants them into His ultimate garden where they will be ‘in eternal bloom.’ We do not know the answers yet. We do know how to pray the prayer that Jesus taught, ‘on earth, as in Heaven, THY WILL BE DONE.

In this case, it’s 9-year-old Marty Mim Mack, 1971 March of Dimes National Poster Boy, at the Fleishacker Children's Zoo in San Francisco. Marty lives in Santa Clara, 30 miles away. “I dig animals,” Marty says. And it's obvious that he does. ‘‘The only trouble is, I can never make up my mind whether I like the big ones better or the little ones. The big ones make you feel so little — but, boyl^wouldn’t it be fun to have a trunk like an elephant?”) UnableQo decide, Marty impartially distributed goodies fo$s much of the animal kingdom as were on hand. As Poster Boy, Marty stands for some 250,000 born annually in this country with significant birth delects. He also toured the country last year on behalf of the March of Dimes. "With your help,” says veteran campaigner Marty, “we can do a lot to prevent birth defects.” rimbers, Mrs. B. M. Miller, Mrs. Durtis Absher, Mr. and Mrs. iienry L.
