Rappahannock News, March 4, 1971

From the General Assembly Delegate Duncan C. Gibb The House of Delegates and the Senate have completed the congressional redistricting. Under the plan, Fauquier, Rappahannock and Warren will be included in the new 7th congressional district. This district will run from Ferderick through Rockingham over to Hanover and will contain almost 470,000 people. The reapportionment for both the House and Senate has been completed by both Houses. Under these plans, Fauquier, Rappahannock and Warren are included in the same House district with Clarke, Frederick, Winchester. There will be two delegates elected for this district. The Senate district will include these same counties plus Shenandoah. All plans must be approved by the United States Attorney General and may be subjected to court action. The House passed a resolution calling for a change in the ccrstitution to permit 18 year o’ds to vote in State elections. Under Federal law they may vote in Federal elections at the present time. This proposed change in the constitution must be approved again by the 1972 General Assembly and then must be approved by the voters in a referendum. The bill which authotfzes localities to assess agricultural, horticultural, forest and open space land based on its use rather than its fair market value has been passed by both the House and Senate and now awaits approval by the Governor. This law does not make it mandatory that this type of taxation be adopted by the localities btit merely permits them to do so if they so desire. A bill which would permit lo calities to grant tax relief or deferral to certain persons over the age of 65 years has been passed by both the House and the Senate but because of certain differences in the two, the plans must be amended to meet the approval of both bodies. The House has passed a bill to clarify the existing Conflict of Interest Law to eliminate the misunderstanding and confusion it has caused, particularly in regard to school teachers and their spouses. The possession, sale and distribution of certain paraphernalia. such as syringes, used in connection with drugs have been regulated and the capitation tax has been repealed. At the time this release is written, most of the legislation mentioned has not received the approval of the Governor so final action is not known at this time. ' Local Woman In Art Competition Stella M. Fenell, Box 183, Sperryville, Virginia, 22740, has entered an original painting in the Ninth Annual Benedictine Art Award, a competition inspired by the world famous art collection on permanent display at the Benedictine Abbey in Fecamp, France. An American Federation of Arts panel will judge the entries from which 35 finalists will be selected for Certificates of Achievement. From these, three money prize winners will receive $1,000, $750 and $500, respectively. These paintings, together with the award winners from the eight previous competitions will be on exhibit in New York City from May 11 through May 28,1971 at the Federal Funds for Hint Hill VFD Federal Highway Safety matching funds in the amount of $967.50 have been awarded the Flint Hill Volunteer Fire Co., which also services traffic crashes, for the purchase of radio communications equipment, John T. Hanna, Director of the Virginia Highway Safety Division, announced today. Hanna said that the Company provides emergency medical services to the north central portion of Rappahannock County, with occasional calls to other portions. At present, he said, the Company does not have equipment to meet State standards. The equipment will include a base station radio and a two-way mobile one, which will be installed on the Company’s ambulance. The latter, Hanna continued, permits ambulance personnel to .advise medical facilities that patients are on the way and as to the nature of their injuries. In turn, facilities can outline en route treatment. Under the U. S. Highway Safety Act of 1966, states and their political subdivisions are eligible to receive federal funds on a 50-50 matching basis for acceptable projects in the various fields of highway safety promotion. In Virginia, projects are submitted to the Governor through the Highway Safety Division and then forwarded to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for final approval. After approval, funds must be expended by the locality before reimbursement can be made. During the past fiscal year, the State and various of its political subdivisions received a total of $1,492,378 in such funds. Previously, $5,354.87 in such funds were received for the purchase of an ambulance and supplies. gallery of the Manufacturers Hanover Trust Bank, 47th and Madison Avenue. This is among the things which one should not do in a spring snow. James Arthur Freeman of Washington, Va. skidded on the highway Wednesday morning after two inches of snow had fallen, lost control of his car and flipped over. He was driving this 68 Dodge Charger traveling west on Route 211 between Amissville and Venue. Trooper R. M. Dodson investigated the crash. Freeman escaped injury but his vehicle was a total loss. Receives Ph.D. Miss Aileen H. Laing received her Ph.D. in the History of Art in February from John Hopkins University. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Douglas G. Laing of Bunree Farm, Amissville. Miss Laing attended Sweet Briar College and George Washington University. Her graduate work, done at Johns Hopkins, included a dissertation, The Queen Mary. Her Apocalypse was A Fourteen Century Manuscript. She is an assistant professor at Ashland College, Ashland, Ohio. Named Registrar Mrs. Mary Cleverley of Flint Hill has been appointed central registrar for Rappahannock County to register eligible voters for elections. Mrs. Cleverley will be in her office in the courthouse at Washington, Va. each Thursday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. She will handle all phases of registry, including transfers, and sitting on special days prior to elections.

TB Association President Cowart said, “Mrs. Morrison hopes to interest more young people in the Allied Health Professions and looks forward to their youthful stimulation.” Fed. Funds to Motor Vehicle Division for Driver Improvement Richmond-Federal funds in the amount of $95,730.00 have been awarded the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) for the identification and rehabilitation of problem drivers, John T. Hanna, Director of the Virginia Highway Safety Division, announced today. Hanna said the program will be in three parts, consisting of warning letters, hearings and improvement training. It will be directed towards drivers accumulating seriously bad driving records. Funds will go towards travel of administrative personnel to evaluate programs and equipment used in other states, the employment of three examiners plus hearing secretaries for each and equipment. jliic cuiiipicicu ndium observed, will bring Virginia into substantial compliance with the recommendations of the Federal Driver Licensing Standard. Under the U. S. Highway Safety Act of 1966, states and their political subdivisions are eligible to receive federal matching funds on a 50-50 matching basis for acceptable projects in the various fields of highway safety promotion. In Virginia, projects are submitted to the Governor through the Highway Safety Division and then forwarded to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for final approval. However, the Federal Government recognizes that DMV has already expended more than matching funds in this connection and is supplying the $95,730.00 without further requirements. During the past fiscal year, the State and various of its political subdivisions received a total of $1,468,763.83 in such funds. Spies and librarians owe a debt to John Dancer of Manchester, England. In 1839 he combined the techniques of photography and microscopy to produce a .microphotograph of a document. Rappahannock Hunt PoinMoPoint Scheduled for This Saturday The twenty-second running of he Rappahannock Hunt point-to>oint races on March 6 over fames W. Fletcher’s Thornton Till course l‘£ miles south of jperryville, will bring together nany of the top horses and riders >f the point-to-point circuit. The sight event card, starting with the 3air race at 12:30 p.m., has drawn nany of last week’s Casanova itace contestants who will try heir skill over the rolling course. The main interest is in the seventh race, the Ben Venue. Points won in this race count oward the Seven Corners Trophy or the best gentleman owner•ider of the year. The field will nclude Randy Rouse on Buen Paisano, Archibald Kingsley on Vavis, Gilmore Flautt III on Oancing Diamond, Blaine Holloway on Fabuloso, and Joseph Muldoon, Jr. on Way Over. In addition, this race is expected to spark close competition between :wo brothers who will be riding seasoned horses. David Semmes will be trying for his third victory in this event aboard August Acorn while Harry Semmes will try to push the veteran Sun Castle acrosss the finish line ahead of the "est of the field. Sun Castle finished second last Saturday at Casanova ahead of Buen Paisano and Navis who placed third and Fourth respectively. Close on the heels of these titans is Felix J. Neusch’s Jaycee Queer who romped home under Jere Gilbert, top 1970 lady timber ridei of Virginia, ahead of the field ir the Melrose Castle at Casanova and will try to repeat in the Moun Salem ladies race. Other past winners competinf again this year are Mrs. A. D Kinsley's Tendella who won in th« 1970 pair events at Rappahannock Potomac, and Orange County, anc Elzy Brown’s Flamingo who will be trying for another win in the W A. Laing Memorial. The rest of the card includes the pair race, the W. A. Laing Memorial for juniors under 18, the Double Gate turf race, the Mount Salem for ladies, the Mount Marshall for gentlemen, and the Mary D Slaughter open race. Among the entries in the Double Gate is Witold Kuncewicz’s Muzzle Puzzle ridden by Mike Pearson. This combination placed second at Casanova in the Seventh race last Saturday. The eighth and final event is the unique hound drag race which has drawn 41 hound entries to date. The race is open to all hound owners in the Rappahannock Hunt territory and-or members of the Northern Virginia Foxhunters Association, but is closed to recognized Hunt Club hounds. This drag has always been a favorite with both spectators and participants and co-chairmen Bill Lyne and Clifton Clark predict this will be the best ever run. Single Car Crash A single-car crash slightly injured three people Saturday afternoon at Amissville. Eugene French Triplett, Jr. of Brandy Station sustained a lacerated right knee when he over turned in a ’62 Pontiac sedan on Route 642. Passengers with him, Celeste Ann Butler an infant and Valerie Mae Butler, 14, both of Viewtown received lacerations and abrasions. Triplett lost control of the vehicle as he rounded a curve, struck the bank and turned over. He was charged with reckless driving according to Trooper J. B. Willis who investigated. The crash occurred at 4:15 p.m. Local Jaycees Join State In Benefit Apple Butter Sales The Virginia Jaycees, led by Senator Harry F. Byrd will take 150.000 jars of apple butter the week starting on March 7th and use them as a formidable weapon against mental retardation according to Franklin D. Simmons, Jaycee state president. The organization’s entire membership of over 8,000 will sell the product door to door for a dollar a jar to raise funds for Camp Virginia Jaycee, a 90-acre facility in Bedford County, being constructed solely for the benefit of mentally retarded children. It is estimated that more than 2.000 mentally retarded births ; occur annually in the State. These children may live to remain as dependent children, or they may be trained and educated within their limitations to be self sufficient adults. A very important part of any rehabilitation program is the type of recreational program provided by Camp Virginia Jaycee, remarked Karl Schmeidler, President of the Virginia Association for Retarded Children, the organization responsible for the camp’s operation and recruitment of qualified volunteer counselors. Mr. Shmeidler added, “the camp offers these children a rare opportunity to play together, developing coordination, independence and the selfconfidence necessary to the growth of intelligence." The first of three two week sessions will start on June 27th. Children between 8 and 20 years of age are eligible to attend. A supplemental two week period if being considered for those who art older. Hopefully half of this year’s funds will provide foj* the.completion of a new central building with dining hall and indoot recreational facilities as well a: for a specially constructed swimming pool. The other half oi the contributions will be retainec by the local Jaycee chapters foi use in mental retardatioi programs within their respectm communities. Tendella, owned by Mrs. A. D. Kinsley and ridden by Mike Brown of Culpeper, shown here at the Casanova Races last Saturday, will be among the entries in the Rappahannock Point-to-Point Races scheduled for Saturday, March 6 at Thornton Hill Farm, Sperryville, Va. Tendella was victorious in the 1970 pair race here last year. frighting for the lead Saturday in he Casanova Cup race are Randolph Rouse on Buen Piasano and H. T. Me Knight on Dreyfus. Rouse has entered his horse in the Ben Venue, the % main event in the Rappahannock Hunt races which will be held Saturday. r .... AL' ■' • /3V:.:.

RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At Washington, Rappahannock County, Ya. Telephone: WASHINGTON 675-3349 MRS. 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 West. EXTRA - EXTRA by CD Several weeks ago New York Police Commissioner Patrick Murphy was interviewed on a popular television talk show. We were duly impressed, when asked what could be done to improve law enforcement, he subtly replied that “strengthening of the prosecution and courts” would be beneficial. We agree, though not so subtly. It is high time that a little effort is made in prosecuting cases and time that decisions are based on evidence and fact rather than j pressure and influence. Think too many have been watching the I TV show, “Let’s Make a Deal.” Law enforcement departments are given a job to do; their hands are tied by legalities; and the public complains that they never accomplish anything. Police personnel are expected to provide legal advice to those who they are attempting to convict and technicalities are dredged up from every nook and cranny. With idiotic rulings from high federal and state courts, plus the citing of old cases which happened umpteen years ago, a conviction for anything is getting rare. If you are completely stoned you get a reduction and if you are careful to have a single-vehicle crash, you’re surely due a dismissal. There are exceptions and enforcement is being applied according to an item in the Virginia Traffic Safety News. In Judge Vernon D. Hitchings’ Norfolk Traffic Court 56,581 cases were heard in 1970. There were 1,292 appeals and 74 percent of these were reconvicted. It is almost spring - the season which is accompanied by an epidemic of field, brush and woods fires in addition to the year round assortment. Local fire departments wish the following message relayed to the public: when reporting a fire to the fire company, please remain calm and state whether it is a field, house, chimney, etc. fire. With this information the firemen will know what equipment will serve best. It has also been brought to my attention that very often people who go to fires, and most of us do have a natural curiosity for such, block the roadways and hinder the efforts of fire fighters. When tank trucks leave the scene to reload with water it is difficult to get out or return to the area because vehicles are blocking the roads or lanes. Shall we all try to remember this, please? The United States Post Office has recently admitted that after special trials and tests, the zip code does not speed delivery of mail. However, in the future with new machinery in use, it is anticipated that this will change. We can verify that the zip code is helpful with delivery even though it may not be speedy. The delivery of a Rappahannock News which contained an improper address was made possible by the zip code. The paper was addressed to the right obscure little town but to the wrong state. The correct zip code was instrumental in completing the proper ielive()Eu»f..«ame. ( - 'J » Mrs. Leonard Campbell of Washington, Va. dropped by the News Office Monday to tell us her son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Bailey of Sylmar, California, one of our good subscribers, survived the recent earthquake there without personal injury. They had not arisen when the tremors began and lamps, window panes, dishes, pictures, in fact all breakable items, were shattered. The Baileys have about resumed normal living. With earthquake insurance unavailable in California, the only compensation will be an allowance deductible from jncome taxes said Mrs. Campbell. And we think we have trouble! I found it very amusing that the Federal Government changed George Washington’s birthday to a new date, then turned right around and ceremoniously observed the old birthday date, February 22nd. On that day the House of Representatives, according to a Congressional tradition, opened with the reading of George Washington’s Farewell Address. Adding to the humor was the fact that our Representative, J. Kenneth Robinson, was designated to read the address. Mr. Robinson had nothing to do with changing the holiday observation for he assumed the office in January of this year. It really isn’t amusing to us for we are picky on the subject of Monday holidays in our profession. In the weekly newspaper business, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday are working days, no matter what. A holiday on Monday is just simply unheard of. Guess our lobbyists weren’t in the right place at the right time. The hue and cry has long been out against long holiday weekends for statisticians have a ball tallying the mounting traffic death toll. Well, maybe this is the answer to over population. I am hearing much these days on the subject of outdoor basketball practice courts for the boys and girls of Rappahannock, especially from these youth. What can be done as a beginning to work toward this end? Ball handling seems to be the area in which local teams are weakest, and this improves with practice. Anyone with suggestions for the possibility of black-topped courts or related ideas, please call the News Office Friday. . Service News Feb. 19 - Marine Pfc. George E.

It was sad that only our fine Game Warden, Irvin Kenyon and three other Rappahannock residents took part. The others came from as far as 100 miles and shamed us all at the garbage and trash the Thornton is expected to carry downstream. To these people who enjoy riding the white water in canoes it was a very enjoyable and worthwhile day. The next time they visit Rappahannock for the thrills and beauty of the Thornton River they won’t have to see the disgraceful filth we have dumped along the shores. Let’s make them honorary Rappahannock citizens! They’ll have to clean up our river again before long. Respectfully, R. Philip Irwin Pres. Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection Dear Sir: I think it is unfortunate that citizens throw tljeir trash wherever they happen to be whether it is in the river, on the highway, or what-have-you. I don’t throw trash anywhere. Can’t even bring myself to toss down a paper cup on a carnival ground. I am, however, not above picking up trash and usually do in my front yard after a weekend. I do not think it sad that only a few local people joined the canoists in the river clean-up. There are not many of us, including me, who own a canoe and accessories, or know how to use one. It was a little too chilly for most folk to wade the stream that Sunday and retrieve trash. Unashamed Dear Editor: Please advise our many, many friends in Richmond and throughout Virginia that the Virginia Methodist Children’s Home does not authorize anyone to solicit funds. We are supported by the Methodist Church and many, many friends in Virginia. It is our understanding that such solicitation is illegal and we recommend that your local police be contacted, as any person using the , name of ^the Virginia Methodist Children’s/Home to that end is doing so under false pretense. Rev.E. Leon Smith Superintendent Virginia Methodist Children’s Home Richmond Attend Conference Mrs. B. M. Miller and Mrs. G. H. Davis, Jr., treasurer and mayor respectively, of the Town of Washington, attended a two-day conference this week on Solid Waste Disposal Sites. The conference, held Monday and Tuesday, met at the Twin Bridges Marriott Motel. Mrs. Miller was an over night guest Monday of Mr. and Mrs. E E. Federline in Arlington and Mrs Davis was the guest of Mrs Veronica Keating in D. C. Panther Tales By Chris Fox There has not been much excitement around R.C.H.S. this week, however, there are a few things that may interest you. The party planned by the Eighth graders turned out to be very successful. There was music and refreshments for everyone. This is the first time the Eighth grade has sponsored a dance and we would like to congratulate them for their hard work! The Varsity and J.V. cheerleaders gave a party Friday night at the Trinity Episcopal Church in Washington in honor of our basketball players this year. This was just a small tribute to the determination that our boys put forth during this season!! An assembly was held Tuesday by Fred Lowery, King of the Whistlers. He has appeared on many television shows with Ed Sullivan, Bob Hope, and Jackie Gleason. Many* of his records include “Indian Love Call,” and “The High and the Mighty.” His whistling was enjoyed by the students. The Senior class has already started getting ready for the Senior play this year. They met last Thursday to go over one play but have not yet made any decisions on what play they intend to do. Knowing the great Senior class, whatever they decide on is sure to be a great one! Library Receives Sevareid Books The collection of books recenffy given to the Rappahannock Library by Eric Sevareid in memory of Lois Finger Sevareid consists of forty-eight volumes covering a wide variety of subjects. These books were reviewed by Mr. Sevareid and used as a background for his reporting and writing. Mr. Sevareid was at one time city editor of the Paris edition of the New York Herald Tribune. At the outbreak of WW II, he joined the news staff of the Columbia Broadcasting System, with which he is still associated. In 1942 he was made head of CBS Washington News Bureau, and for the next four years he covered the war in China, India, Burma, Italy, France, and Germany, returning to Washington in 1946. In 1950 he won the Peabody Award for reporting. Though Sevareid calls his broadcasts “capsule commentaries on the American scene,” they are really witty, polished, perceptive essays. Readers may find the books in the library under their proper classification. Small Australian State of Victoria Packs Hefty Economic Clout Today Australia’s state of Victoria, though small in size, looms large on production and population charts. Since World War II, Australia has emerged from a pastoral to an industrial society. Nearly a third of the labor force works in manufacturing, compared to a tenth in agriculture. “Perhaps more than any other state in the Commonwealth, pacesetting Victoria has been caught up in the dynamics of this changing land,” writes Senior Assistant Editor, Allan C. Fisher, Jr., in the February National Geographic. Drawn by tax benefits and skilled labor, 150 foreign companies have moved to Victoria in the past decade. Buried Treasures Off the coast, wells thrust deep into the submerged Gippsland Basin and siphon off rich reserves of gas and oil. Ponderous stripping machines in vast open pits mine one of the world’s largest deposits of lignite, or brown coal. Reserves fill a continuous seam 30 miles long, 5 to 10 miles wide, and 200 to 600 feet thick. The fuel feeds a state-owned power complex that makes briquettes and generates most of Victoria’s electricity. Called a “mini-giant among Australian states,” Utah-sized Victoria covers less than 3 percent of the Australian Continent. Yet it supports a population of 3,440,000, more than a quarter of DeoDle. and produces nearly a third of the nation’s manufactures ! and a fourth of its farm output, j About two-thirds of Victoria’s I people cluster in Melbourne, the \ state’s capital, main port, transportation hub, and industrial center. The handsome city reflects the overriding concerns shared by most Australians: avid interest inhome ownership, an intense pleasure in family and nature, and near-fanaticism about Australian Rules football. Keen Competitors Victoria vies with neighboring New South Wales for new industries “The rivalry is equally intense between Melbourne and Sydney, the^capital of New South Wales,” reports Mr. Fisher. “One hears rumors that San Francisco and Los Angeles don’t always see eye to eye but their differences are as the billing and cooing of doves compared to the feeling between Australia’s two biggest cities.” Throughout Australia the increased demand for workers must be met largely by immigrants^ and Victoria woqs them as determinedly and successfully as it dpes^foreigiTinvestors. In 1969 th^nation welcomed 185,000 new citizens. Victoria attracted 27 percent of them. any of the newcomers go directly to hostels run by the national government. There they may live a year if they wish, but the average stay is only 17 weokg. Each hostel provides food a* well as lodging - all free until the family breadwinner gets a'job* to to'». ffi Ipvied. {Organic Gardening Seemingly Desirable Reported Not Feasible For Crops | (Editor's Note: This is one of ■ series on home horticulture by VVesley p. Judkins, Virginia Tech professor of horticulture and extension horticuitist.) Organic gardening would seem to be a desirable way to raise crops. In its ideal form, organic farming would eliminate the use of chemicals as fertilizer, or their use to control the disease and bisect pests of our crops and livestock. ' The situation is not that simple. The residues which remain in the field after crops are harvested, have low fertilizer value, and are inadequate as a source of nutrients for future crops. Organic fertilizers such as manure and sewage sludge have relatively low analysis and are not available in sufficient quantities to maintain crop yields and feed our present population. Organic materials such as cottonseed meal and tankage are sometimes used as fertilizer. They are much too expensive for this purpose however, because they have greater value as feed for poultry and livestock. Thus, chemical fertilizers are necessary if we are to feed the present and future world populations. Similar conclusions must be reached relative to the need for using toxic chemicals in crop production. The specialized crops we cultivate for food are grown in concentrated plantings. These are much more susceptible to attack by diseases' and insects than mixtures of several species growing under natural conditions. Although many plant diseases are now controlled by using resistant varieties, and biological methods are effective against a limited number of insects, the use of chemical pesticides is still a necessity in the production of most food crops. witnout tne use of chemicals in agriculture, production would drop drastically, and famine would soon claim millions of human lives. Our concern for the population explosion could thus be Curtailed, but this is a rather harsh method of treating a social problem. > Unfortunately, the popular Assumption seems to be that most pf the chemicals used in agriculture are harmful to man, 4hd that most plants and organic Eaterials are beneficial. re quite harmless, except for the articular plant or pest it is inended to control. Even the toxic Chemicals are safe and beneficial When properly used. !' In our haste to condemn Chemicals for some of our environmental pollution problems, jve overlook the fact that many plant materials are extremely poisonous or damaging when contacted or consumed. For example, poison ivy and certain other plants may cause serious dermatitis. The consumption of poisonous mushrooms and other toxic plants has caused the illness and death of many thousands of people.

The fact is, that all chemicals ire not bad. Those which are used >y farmers have saved millions of ives. In the U. S., where these chemicals have been used for many decades, we have the Wealthiest people the world has ever known. The use of chemicals by farmers is being effectively regulated. Their use must not be eliminated by the emotionalism of misguided individuals. Mankind would probably derive greater benefits if our efforts were more energetically directed toward the elimination or control of some of the deadly plants cited above. Farmers do practice organic gardening. Crop residues and animal manures are used to help maintain the productivity of their fields. Soil conservation practices are followed to save the land for future generations. But, to produce the high quality food which is demanded by the public, chemical fertilizers and pesticides must be used. And, when they are properly used they do not contaminate the edible product or the environment.

S. are going the old alchemists one better and changing the aluminum in their trash to “gold.” According to the Aluminum Association, over $600,000 in cash was paid out to community groups and individuals who returned used aluminum beverage cans for recycling last year. Over 115 million cans were turned in to collection centers run by the aluminum producers and beverage companies. Aluminum is so durable it will not rust or deteriorate. This property makes it the most valuable material that can be recovered from the waste stream. Aluminum is different from other solid waste components in that it’s recovery value is ten times greater per pound than any other packaging materials, ranging from $200 to $300 per ton, depending on the extent of the processing. It has a high value on the open market because it is relatively pure, requiring minimal processing before reuse. Recovered aluminum has always been recycled because of it’s high value. Leading aluminum companies are paying Vti per 12 oz. can, or 10 cents per pound - ap proximately twenty 12 oz. beverage cans. Only “all-aluminum” cans are purchased. These are easily identifiable because they are seamless, have rounded bottoms and no separate ends. They are not magnetic, are lightwei^it and easily crushed when empty. Don’t be mislead by cans which may have the word “aluminum” written on them but only have aluminum tops. They must meet the other criteria. Aluminum and beverage companies have initiated reclamation centers in various cities across the country where scrap aluminum can be collected.

Wildlife Planting Material Available Landowners should place orders for wildlife planting materials distributed by the Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries with their game warden during March, reminds Game Division Chief R. H. Cross. Bags of annual game bird mixture, each sufficient to plant V8 acre, are available free to qualified landowners and to clubs and civic groups who can substantiate that they have land available for planting. The materials are attractively packaged in clear plastic bags with a multi-color illustration of game birds on the front. The annual game bird mix consists of soy beans, cowpeas, Korean lespedeza, German millet, brown-top millet, buckwheat, milo maize and rape, harvested from Game Commission Wildlife Management Areas. It has proven to be attractive to quail, turkeys, doves, rabbits and deer. It is best planted in strips along field edges adjacent to cover. Woodland fire trails, abandoned logging roads and power line or pipe line rights of way are excellent. Orders for the game bird mixture should be placed with the game warden assigned to the county in which the property is located. Materials will be delivered in time for spring planting. A total of 90,324 pounds were planted by 12,571 cooperators in the spring of 1970. Federal assistance for developing wildlife habitat on agricultural lands is available through local Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation offices. Wildlife improvements included under “G” practices in the Agricultural Conservation program provide for cost sharing in establishing wildlife food and cover, fencing to exclude livestock and constructing ponds.

Wins National Award The National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA) announced last week that Northern Piedmont Electric Cooperative, of Culpeper, had won a National Achievement Award. The award was made for the Cooperative’s work in the area of Member and Community Relations. William D. Carson, Member and Public Services Director for Northern Piedmont, accepted the award on behalf of the Cooperative at the NRECA annual meeting in Dallas, Texas. Several items in the Cooperative’s Member anc Community Relations Program were of outstanding interest to toe judges. One was the series of community meetings the Cooperative holds each spring throughout its service area. In these meetings some phase of the Cooperative’s operations is explained to"1 the members, and any questions they have are answered. Another unusual feature is the Member Action Committee which is a group of members from all over the service territory. They meet six times a year to learn about the Cooperative and to advise the Cooperative management and Board about items of interest to the membership. Special praise was also given the Cooperative for the contributions its Board, staff, and employees make to the community by their participation in various civic and service clubs, youth groups and churches.

Kenneth Robinson has introduced in Congress a bill to expand Culpeper National Cemetery by federal acquisition of approximately 60 acres of adjacent land. Similar bills offered in the past have not received action, and the 7th District Congressman acknowledged that, “prospects are not favorable, because of a reluctance in recent years to embark on a policy of nationwide expansion of the national cemetery system.” “I do believe the effort should be continued, however, in order that the traditional privilege of burial in a national cemetery might be preserved for veterans who have given honorable service to their country in time of war or other national emergency,” Robinson said. He noted that Culpeper National Cemetery is one of the few in the nation with remaining space, which is being exhausted rapidly because of the limitations imposed in recent years on eligibility for burial in Arlington National Cemetery. r. j Robinson recalled that * the House Committee on Veterans Affairs held hearings last fall on a number of national cemetery bills, including one for the enlargement of the Culpeper cemetery, but none was reported, and all expired with the adjournment of the 91st Congress. Rep. Robinson has also joined in introducing a bill to exempt .22 caliber ammunition from recordkeeping requirements of the federal firearms law. “The inclusion of this ammunition among items on which special sale records must be kept has no reasonable relationship to crime control, and has imposed a needless nuisance on legitimate dealers and sportsmen,” the 7th District Congressman commented. Soc. Security Notes Social security payments ac count for the largest single shareabout 34 percent-of total income oi people 65 or older and their wives or husbands, according to Mrs Hazel F. Crumpton, social security district manager ir Winchester. Social Security Administration studies of the Nation’s 20 million older people indicate that their annual income is about $59 billion with social security benefits ac counting for $20 billion, she said ‘‘Studies show that social Security is an economic base for retired workers and their dependents,” Mrs. Crumpton said. “The monthly benefit checks are a partial replacement of preretirement earnings.” About 29 percent of the income of older people comes from earnings, according to the study. Income from assets accounts for 15 percent. Other sources are: public pensions other than social OBITUARIES Mrs. Nevar Jenkins Mrs. Nevar Reva Jenkins of Arlington died February 24, 1971 in Arlington Hospital.

Jenkins of Sperryville, Mrs. George W. Jenkins of Culpeper and Mrs. Ray Mears of Arlington; one son, Clarence Jenkins of Arlington; 20 grandchildren and 10 greatgrandchildren. Other survivors include two sisters, Mrs. Alice Sisk of Arlington and Mrs. Bessie Jenkins of Summit Point, W. Va.; two brothers, Clifton Sisk of Sperryville and Harrison Sisk, Arlington. A funeral service held Saturday at Geest Fuile^al Chapel, Culpeper at 1 p.m. with the Rev. Gordon George Conducting the rites. Interment was in the Jenkins family cemetery near Sperryville. Pallbearers were George Jenkins, Clifton Weakley, Wilson Weakley, Charles Jenkins, Andrew Weakley, James Jenkins Winfrey Marks and Kenneth Stanley security, 7 percent; private group pensions, 5 percent; public welfare, 4 percent; veterans’ benefits, 3 percent; contributions from friends or relatives not in the older household, 1 percent; other sources, 3 percent. According to the study, about 21 percent of older people receive income from wages and salaries; 6 percent from self-employment; 6 percent from Governmentemployee pensions; 12 percent from private group pensions; 4 percent from railroad retirement pensions; 10 percent from veterans’ benefits; 3 percent from personal contributions; 2 percent from private individual annuities; 1 percent from unemployment insurance; 12 percent from welfare. Lions Prepare for Eye Bank Week This week, several thousand members of Lions Clubs throughout the state are completing plans for next week’s observance of Eye Bank. Week. By proclamation, Governor Linwood Holton has set aside the week starting March 7 for observance as Eye Bank Week, a reminder to Virginians of the sight-restoration work of the Lions-sponsored Old Dominion Eye Bank. Over 200 Lions Clubs will take part in the observance by soliciting eye-donor pledge from their fellow citizens. In many areas, Lions members will take to the streets, canvass neighborhoods, and set up displays in stores and public places in the effort to persuade Virginians to pledge their eyes, on death, for use in corneal transplant operations. The need for human eye tissue for this purpose, Old Dominion Eye Bank officials state, is much greater than the supply. It is estimated that the number of prospective eye donors on file must be doubled in order to assure the availability of tissue for all needed transplants. Those wishing to donate their eyes, on death, for this purpose, may get pledge cards from members of local Lions Clubs or from Old Dominion Eye Bank, Richmond Eye Hospital, Richmond, Va. 23219.

Woodlands Included In Cost Sharing Owners of small tracts of woodland are eligible for costsharing assistance in planting or improving a crop which will provide continuing public benefits in the form of improved watersheds, more recreational opportunities, and better ecological balance, as well as proving opportunity for long-term profit to owners. “Under the Rural Environmental Assistance Program (REAP), the Government will share cost for planting forestry trees or shrubs or improving stands of forest trees,” explained H. S. Barksdale, Chairman of the Rappahannock County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation (ASC) Committee. . i He said,the REAP practicesare applicable for farmland suitable for growing trees primarily for production of forest products, such as lumber, pulpwood, posts and the like. He also pointed out that the practices are meant to assist owners of small tracts. Such small tracts eligible for assistance under REAP add up to millions of acres throughout the United States. As the population increases, the need for wood products multiplies. So timber farmers have assurance of a growing market. At the same time, there are multiple public benefits to be gained from adding to and improving our woodlandsenvironmental benefits which are a major national interest today. Woodlands help protect watersheds from erosion caused by driving rains and winds. They provide shelter and food for wildlife, scenic beauty, and recreational opportunities for humans. They help stabilize and insure water supplies and they are vital to the cycle which provides life-giving oxygen. These benefits accrue to all of us, not just the woodlot owner. Practices and projects which come under the Rural Environmental Assistance Program have public benefits. REAP is a program administered by the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service of the U. S. Department of Agriculture under which farmers and the Government share costs of conservation, pollution-abatement, and other environmental improvement practices needed in the public interest. In general, costs are shared on a fifty-fifty basis. For forestry practices the Government may assume as much as 80 or 90 percent of the cost because of the national need for such practices and the long period which elapses before a woodland operator begins to harvest his trees. Cost-sharing for forestry practices has been in effect since 1936, during which time nearly 12 million acres of woodland have been planted or improved under the program, which was known as the Agricultural Conservation Program until this year. Mr. Barksdale commented that the change of the name of the Rural Environmental Assistance Program indicates a new direction which will put more emphasis on forestry practices as well as other enduring conservation practices including agriculturerelated pollution prevention and abatement measures. 3funeral H. 0.

From it came long-lasting lumber, rails for fencing, tannin for tanning, slow-burning firewood and plentiful supplies of nutritious nuts. But Endothia parasitica spelled its end. According to John M. Skelly, Virginia Tech extension specialist in -forest plant pathology, chestnut blight caused by the Endothia parasitica was first noticed in the New York Zoo in 1904. So rapid was its spread, transmitted by migratory birds, rain-splashed water, insects, the wind and practically any other agent that can move from tree to tree, the disease was first observed in Virginia in 1908. By 1910, the ailment had spread throughout the entire American chestnut tree range. Killing every susceptible chestnut in its way, the blight made its way through millions of the trees ANSWERS 1.

But the specie was so completely wiped out that by 1940, almost 100 per cent of the American chestnut commercial value had disappeared,” said Skelly. “It has been estimated that loss of the specie has caused a 50 per cent reduction in the overall value of Eastern hardwood timber stands,” said Skelly. The fungus still contaminates the area once covered by American chestnuts. It lives on chestnut sprouts still finding their way above ground from long-buried roots. Once the sprouts become infected, they die off in a few years. The fungus induces a canker on the bark of the tree. The canker eventually girdles the stem or branch with subsequent wilting and death of the part of the tree above the canker. Said Skelly, “Control of the chestnut blight was, and still is, virtually impossible. The American chestnut lacks resistance to the fungus. Oak chinkapin, red maple, hickory and sumac are mildly susceptible and provide a haven for the causative spores. The fungus spores, with over 100 million of them in each of the countless fruiting structures on an infected tree, are too numerous.” Present day efforts to combat the disease are aimed at the COMPLETE ONE-STQP Building Supply Hardware Paint Mil I work Lumber Wcnronton Building Material Co., Inc.

Let us assume that it was a present day type son. When the father asked the son to do some work the son flatly refused, that is the first son. The father then goes to the second son and asked him to do the same chore. The second son says; “Yes dad, I’ll get right with it.” But as soon as the father turns his back, second son sneaks off. First son, in the mean time, regrets having spoken abruptly to his father goes and finishes the task. The question is; who was the ‘better son. Over in Spain there was a Mister, no, let’s say Senoi Romero. He started playing the guitar at the ripe old age of five When he grew up and started i R L BORDEN LUMBER CO.

We will assume that the order of names listed is also the order of birth There is Celin, Pepe and Angel ; 1 cannot imagine either of them telling Papa Celedonio that thej would not practice their guitars Rather, I think each might have said: “Papa, I am willing to do as you ask me, but, let me develop my own style.” The father granted these requests to the gratificatior of millions of music lovers. When the concert started I said to myself; “I don’t believe I dig this flamenco music.” It didn’t take them long to make a convert of me. It was a grand evening for listening. My wife couldn’t go, in the hospital. My grandchildren and their mother were in attendance. Cindy said that she thought each player had at least ten fingers on each hand, Douglas just grinned with envy; he has a great potential if he will only develop it. I just sat and enjoyed the evening. I studied each technique - wishing I had time to develop one of my own. Maybe if I get an adjustable footrest, learn to rest my head on the shoulder of the instrument, become so familiar with each fret and string that I will know their location, maybe I will learn to play in the next hundred years or so. I hope the Master will give me credit for trying. In the Great Beyond I hope there will be music. I hope our ears will be attuned to that music, the eternal harmonies of the HEAVENS.

Selective Service’s Public Information Officer, Kenneth J. Coffey, said that the 23,000 requests for the instructional unit were in response to letters sent in mid-November to all secondary school administrators nationwide. “The response has exceeded all our expectations,” Coffey said, “and it seems to indicate the need for reliable draft information in high schools. I am confident,” he added, “that Curriculum Guide to the Draft can begin to give young people the kind of straightforward facts they need to better plan their futures.” Following initial distribution pf the Guide, packages of materia) will be sent to schools which plan to use the Guide in the classroom so that each teacher will have Curriculum Guide to the Draft and multiple copies 'of new Selective Service brochures. Adequate copies of the brochures will be furnished so that the booklets can be distributed to individual students as study aids. The new brochures cover such subjects as the registration, classification, and induction -* processes, conscientious objection, the lottery system and hardship deferments. Representatives of high schools can obtain free copies of Curriculum Guide to the Draft by writing the Office of Public Information, Selective Service System, Washington, D.C., 20435.
