Turkish Visitors Enjoy Serenity of Rural Area Mr. and Mrs. Cengiz Orak of Ankara, Turkey found the rolling countryside of Rappahannock and the Blue Ridge Mountain splendid and refreshing when they spent a few days here last week. The Oraks visited former neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. James Swindler and family of Sperryville who lived near them while Mr. Swindler served a tour of duty in Turkey with U.S. Air Force. The Oraks had been saving and preparing for the trip to the states Mr. and Mrs. Cengez Orak of Ankara, Turkey were visitors last week of Mr. and Mrs. Janies Swindler in Sperryville. The two families were neighbors when the Swindlers were serving with the U.S. Air Force in Turkey,, so when the Oraks decided to vacation in the States, they contacted their friends and spent several days. Above are Cengez Orak, Phyllis Swindler, Sevin Orak and Jimmie Swindler beside the huge brass mongol the Swindlers brought with them from Turkey. The mongol is a combination stove and chafing dish. The bottom of the container holds hot coals and a bowl in the top holds food. Every home in Turkey uses these ornate solid brass heaters. for several years. They both work in the American Embassy in Ankara, Turkey where he is an interpreter and his wife, Sevin, is a personnel technician. Both were educated at and hold degrees from Ankara College, and it was there that they learned English which they speak fluently. It was through the embassy work that the Swindlers and Oraks met while Mr. Swindler was assigned to the Defense Attache Office of the American Embassy from January of 1966 through December 1969. Cengiz and Sevin have worked at the Embassy for the past 7 years. The Swindlers often talked about their Virginia farm to which they would return when Mr. Swindler retired from the service and hoped that sometime their friends could visit here. Sevin said, “We are so glad that we were able to come here and see Jim, Phyllis and the children after two years. It was very interesting to see the farm which we have been talking about. It was nice to see the things we had shopped for together, now in the house; things like rugs, Turkish brass, dishes and other souvenirs in the Virginia farm house. “People are very friendly here and we have enjoyed the hospitality of our friends and thank them very much.” While here the Oraks had a consultation at the State Department in Washington, D. C. They saw Turkish friends working there and American friends formerly assigned in Turkey. They had anticipated a visit to Disneyland in California but were not able to incorporate all of that into one trip. They did, however tour portions of Canada and travel as far west as Michigan, shopped in New York, and visited Niagara Falls, visited Williamsburg and other historic places here during their vacation of three weeks.

Progress in 72 Wheat Program Provisions of the 1972 voluntary wheat program will be announced as early as possible sot that producers of winter wheat will have time to plan their farming operations, according to officials of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. “The 1972 national domestic wheat allotment of 19.7 million acres, the same as last year, has already been announced and individual farm domestic allotments are now being figured,” said H. S. Barksdale, Chairman of the Rappahannock County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation (ASC) Committee. In order to plan their operations, wheat producers also will want to know the level of set-aside acreage for 1972, whether additional diversion will be included, whether barley will be included in next year’s feed grain program, whether substitution between wheat and feed grains will be permitted, what will be the loan level for wheat, and other decisions which the Agricultural Act of 1970 delegates to the Secretary of Agriculture. Agriculture Secretary Clifford M. Hardin makes these decisions. But before he does, he gathers the best available data and informed advice. For instance, the National Advisory Committee on Grains for Wheat, Feed Grain and Soybeans met recently in Washington, D. C.i to discuss and advise on the wheat and feed grain situations and provisions of the 1972 wheat program. The Secretary has also requested statistics, projections and recommendations on wheat from several agencies in the Department of Agriculture, including ASCS, which administers the wheat set-aside program. ASCS called in a group of State ASC Committeemen-all farmersfrom the major wheat States to get recommendations onlhe 1972 wheat provisions. Secretary Hardin is also hearing from--and listening to--farm groups and individual farmers on the subject. No decisions will be made without careful consideration of all the factors. The time factor is recognized as very important, Rappahannock County ASC Committee Chairman Barksdale said and assured wheat growers that information on the 1972 program will be released as soon as possible after program decisions are made.

Corn Leaf Blight to Hit Virginia Hard Southern com leaf blight is expected to hit Virginia hard this year. Plant patnoiogists at virguua Tech said the disease showed up early in Southeastern Virginia where it is reaching a critical stage. Other areas of the state also are expected to suffer severe losses. “The hot, humid weather in the early part of the growing season enabled the blight to get a good start,” explained Curtis W. Roane, professor of plant pathology. “We expect it to be a great deal worse than last year.” Growers have been expressing an interest in controlling the disease with fungicides. “Although we do not have data from Virginia on the effectiveness of spraying for southern corn leaf blight, data from Florida last year indicates that it is economically feasible under certain conditions,” noted Robert Pristou, associate professor of plant pathology. The extension specialist said “Many think that it is not feasible to control blight by applying a fungicide. This is probably true for the grower who plants only a few acres and normally makes a low yield. But it is not true for the large grower who consistently makes a yield of 90 or more bushels per acre.” Pristou said that guidelines from other states where fungicides have been used note (hat Difhane M-45 and Manzate 200 are the only two chemicals which have clearance for southern com leaf blight control. These chemicals should be applied at the beginning of tasseling or as soon as the disease is present. They should be applied at seven to ten-day intervals, he said. Application may be done by airplane spraying or with “high boys” if the com is not too tall. In aerial application, 1V-. pounds of chemical in four to five gallons of water, with a spreader sticker added, is necessary. With ground equipment, lVfe pounds in at least 40 gallons of water, with a spreader sticker added, should be used. Two to four nozzles should be placed on each side, depending on com height, for maximum coverage. One nozzle over the row is also required, Pristou said. The extension specialist noted that uniform coverage of the top half of the plant is essential for control. “The fungicides will only prevent new infections from occuring,” he said. “They do not eliminate earlier infections. Chemical treatment should last Friday and Saturday, July 23 and 24 Open Friday Night Until 9 ALL FAMOUS BRANDS Mens and Boys Wear Reductions from 20 to 60% OFF IF YOU CANT FIND IT ON THE SIDEWALK WALK INTO THE STORE. for approximately seven days but during periods of rain and heavy dews, application should be more frequent. If there is an immediate threat of rain, do not spray.” As long as the fungicides are nol applied within seven days « harvest, there are no restriction! on feeding the treated com. “Botl chemicals are registered for uae without feeding restrictions os grain, fodder and silage,” he said “The important thing is that they be applied up to a week before harvest.” Pristou said the estimated cost of spraying is $3.40 per acre par application. “If a crop is within 30 days of maturity when spraying starts, it would theoretically require four applications for the remainder of the growing season,” he said. “This would require $13.60 per acre which a grower could well afford if he is to save his crop from a field that has a high potential yield.” Further information on spraying fungicides to control blight may be obtained from the county extension agent. Rapp-Chats By Rap Owings, Ext. Agent Observed the first signs southern corn leaf blight in county on July 7th. By July early stages of blight symptoms could be found throughout the 2 Ira county. Although the infestation is general in area it is mostly in the very early stage of development. It is difficult at this time to forecast the amount of damage. As most of our corn is in the early tasseling stage, hopefully with good weather conditions, it will reach maturity without too much damage. As predicted there is a lot of variation from field to field depending on the variety and the degree of susceptability. A lot of calls have been coming in on the Japanese beetle. Sevin (Carbaryl) is still the recommended spray for use in the vegetable garden and on shrubs around the house. Mix two tablespoons of Sevin 50 percent Wettable Powder per gallon of water. This spray is safe to apply to the newly emerging sweet corn silk. Recommended waiting period on corn from time of application to harvest is one day.

Many unattached men and women in the local area, who would have had no alternative in former years but to reside with relatives or friends, have now found it possible to support themselves and have their own living quarters. Included in this unattached group are young people and older people who are unmarried as well as divorced and widowed persons who have remained single. As a result of the living alone trend among this group, the number of dwelling units in Rappahannock County that are occupied by only one person has risen considerably in the last ten years. According to the Department of Commerce, the proportion of housing units in the local area that are occupied by singles is now 14.3 percent. This compares with the 1960 average of 8.3 percent. Elsewhere in the United States, the one-person households amount to 17.6 percent. In the South Atlantic States they represent 15.9 percent and, in the State of Virginia, 14.4 percent. The report notes that it was common, years ago, for parents, when widowed, to move in with their married children so that they would not spend their twilight years alone. Today, however, the threegeneration household is a rarity. More and more of these grandparents are living alone and liking it. Many of them are holding down jobs, full time or part time. They are aided by social security benefits and other income. As for the young people, because of the greater freedom they have acquired in the last decade there is an increasing tendency on their part to live in their own apartments or houses away from the parental home. Xh*iMt resu]trtogqjqse,{rf,the^ separations, has been a reduction in the number of people per household. It has dropped from a median of 3.0 persons per unit to 2.7 in the course of the last ten years. The figures show that the number of one-person households in Rappahannock County is now 222, a big increase over 1960, when the total was 118. Gibb Named To Study Commission Duncan C. Gibb, member of the Virginia House of Delegates, has been appointed to the Commission created to study the desirability and feasability of lowering the age of majority to eighteen years. Delegate Gibb will serve with four other members of the House of Delegates, four members of the State Senate, and two members to be appointed by the Governor. The Commission will make its report to the Governor and the General Assembly by December 1, 1971. Members of the Commission will receive no compensation for their services, but will be re imbursed for actual and necessary expenses incurred in the performance of their duties. Delegate Gibb further stated that the Commission was appointed pursuant to a resolution adopted by the House of Delegates and the Senate at the just completed Special Session of the General Assembly.

Humble Earthworm Makes Bee Look Like a Loafer The humble earthworm makes the busy bee look like a loafer. The remarkable worm works so hard and so well that it could justly claim to be man’s best friend. No less a scientist than Charles Darwin wrote: “It may be doubted if there are any other animals which have played such an important part in the history of the world as these lowly organized creatures.” As a soil creator, conditioner and preserver, the earthworm has no rivals, the National Geographic Society says. Eats Weight Daily Tirelessly boring through the ground, an earthworm eats its weight in organic matter and mineral soil every 24 hours. It takes in leaves, grass, stems, dead insects and animals, larvae, and the like along with subsoil. All of this material passes through the worm’s formidable digestive system, which includes a muscular gizzard where soil is throughly ground. The residue is deposited in the familiar mounds called “castings.” These castings actually are enormously rich topsoil. Compared to the surrounding earth, castings contain five times as much nitrogen, seven times as much phosphorus, eleven times as much potash, and three times as much magnesium-in a form that plants can readily use. More than 1,750,000 earthworms may churn through one acre of rich farmland, producing as much as 40 tons of topsoil every year. Their tunnels aid root growth, allow air to penetrate underground, and improve drainage, thus preventing erosion. Besides fanners and fishermenwho have found angleworms good bait for centuries-the earthworm aids archeologists. Their ceaseless activities over the centuries gradually have helped to cover and preserve ancient cities. A few years ago, worms even pointed the way to a lost city. An archeologist searching for an ancient Roman city outside Vienna saw bits of brightly colored soil among worm castings. Analysis showed the bits to be from Roman frescoes. The site was excavated, and the remains of Roman buildings emerged from a thick layer of humus. Lots of Muscle The common earthworm (Lumbricus terrestris) comes equipped with tiny clusters of bristles on each segment. The bristles serve as hooks as the worm extends and shortens its body and so propels itself. For its size, an earthworm is amazingly strong. A worm weighing just one-thirtieth of an ounce can move a two-ounce stone-60 times its own weight. Lacking lungs, the earthworm f breathes through its skin. It can live for months submerged in water without food, but a heavy rain may force it from its burrow because water filtered through soil contains little oxygen. Then the ground surface may look as if it had been “raining worms.” Curiously, in spite of the earthworm’s omnivorous appetite, it does have a sense of taste. In a laboratory, worms will pass up cabbage if celery is offered and reject celery if carrot leaves are available. Smokey Soya: . ITS UP TO YOU TO PROTECT OUR NATURAL RESOURCES!

The gymnasium floor at Rappahannock County High School is getting a face lifting. The parquet floor installed when the high school was constructed has never proved satisfactory and this summer is being replaced by new maple hardwood. The old floor was taken up and a survey made to insure the cement base is level. Now a layer of polyethelene is being put down, followed by steel tracks which have a layer of treated celotex between them and the maple flooring will be put on top of the tracks. These baskets hold only a small portion of the old parquet flooring taken from the high school gym floor prior to the installation of the new floor which will be ready for the opening of school this fall.

Robinson Concerned Over Drug Control Rep. J. Kenneth Robinson joined today in sponsoring a House resolution supporting President Nixon’s efforts to promote international co-operation in the control of narcotics production and distribution. The resolution calls for elimination of the illegal traffic in opium through action by opiumproducing countries and states the intention of Congress to “take appropriate unilateral action” if co-operation is not obtained within a reasonable time. The measure notes that, “most of the countries involved in the production or illegal traffic of opium or its derivatives are dependent on American military or economic aid.” In a statement, the 7th District Congressman noted that, “there are an estimated 250,000 heroin addicts in the United States, with tens of thousands being added in the persons of American servicemen who have contracted the addiction in Viet Nam, and drastic measures must be taken to break up the huge international production and distribution complex based on illicit drugs.” Va. Tel. & Tel. To Seek Rate Increase 1 The Virginia Telephone & Telegraph Company and Southern Telephone Company, its subsidiary, presented applications to the State Corporation Commission on July 15, 1971, requesting an adjustment in telephone rates throughout its Virginia properties. The telephone Company, which serves more than 118.50C residential and Commercial stations in Virginia, said the in crease would produce ap proximately $3.6 million in additional annual revenue. The Company’s last application for a general rate increase was in 1954. Vice President and Division Manager, D. H. Reid stated, “The cost of equipment, labor and supplies has continued to increase to where it becomes necessary to seek relief in order to continue to provide adequate service to our subscribers. Our rate of return has declined to a point it is inadequate to sustain proper conduct of business.” The applications propose a variety of new rate adjustments and service connection charges to the Company’s subscribers in all of its 40 exchanges thereby reducing the added charge beyond base rate boundaries to many of its subscribers, to phase out 8party lines and upgrade all rural Support cancer research.

In addition to seeking higher monthly rates, the Company requests increases in charges for moving, changing or connecting telephone service. The decision of Virginia Telephone & Telegraph Company to seek a rate increase is not particularly surprising in view of continued price increases by other industries for products and services and similar moves being made by other Telephone Com panies. “Telephone Companies are confronted with many of the same problems faced by others such as higher interest rates, increased labor and equipment costs and spirling taxes,” stated Mr. Reid.

In 1954, the average cost to add a telephone was $241.78. In 1970 this cost had soared to $550.85, an increase of 128 percent. During 1970, $12.68 was levied against each Company telephone for Federal taxes while another $11.06 was paid in other taxes making a total of $23.74 in taxes for each telephone. To continue to provide adequate service to its subscribers, Virginia Telephone & Telegraph Company has increased its employment for 494 in 1954 to 1,060 at the present time. Interest rates were generally less than 3.5 percent prior to 1954 and averaged about 4.5 percent through 1965. Since 1965, interest rates on Utility Bonds have jumped to over 8 percent. Mr. Reid further stated, “Subscribers today expect telephone service to be available when and where they need it. It is the desire of our Company to be progressive and to develop and introduce new procedures and service offerings to meet their desires. The requested rate increase is imperative if we are to maintain the Company’s credit, operate on a sound financial basis and attract the capitol required to furnish adequate and efficient service to our Virginia subscribers ” HUNTSBERRY'S Final Summer Shoe Clearance ALL STOCK OF SUMMER SHOES GREATLY REDUCED Shop Our Specials Inside and Out HUNTSBERRY’S Main Street Front Royal, Va.

Mulching Improves Yield and Quality Blacksburg - Back-yard fruit growers welcome the news that bigger yields of superior quality fruits can be theirs if they take the time to scatter mulch around their plants. “That better product is theirs because mulching helps to control weeds, adds humus to the soil, conserves moisture, and keeps the soil cool during the hot summer months,” stated Fred Dreiling, a Virginia Tech associate professor of horticulture. “It has been found that grass clippings, hay, straw, pine needles, pine bark, peat moss and even sawdust make good mulching,” said Dreiling who is also a Virginia Tech extension specialist in pome fruit culture. ‘ Sfrangely ,* hi sortie»localities large piles of sawdust remain unused, or are burned because home gardeners are reluctant to pile sawdust around their plants. They believe certain injurious effects may occur if they put the sawdust on the fruit plant beds,” Dreiling disclosed. “There is no conclusive evidence to indicate that sawdust causes any adverse effects. And research indicates that sawdust, contrary to popular belief, does not make the soil acid,” he added. The extension specialist Auxiliary Makes Plans The Amissville Ladies Auxiliary met last Tuesday night at the fire hall to finalize plans for the benefit carnival scheduled in August. There will not be a meeting of the group in August. Fourteen members were present and a new member, Mrs. Brenda Hitt, was added to the roll. ... Charles E.

Berries from the mulched plants were larger and better developed. New growth and fruits were less affected by periods of dry weather. “Mulching should be applied to raspberries at least every other year. Its best results come when mulch is applied in the spring after the canes have been pruned and before the new canes start their growth,” Dreiling advised. The expert fruit grower ememphasized the use of mulch in blueberry patches. “Blueberries require mulching to provide the uniform moisture so critically needed by the speciality crop. Sawdust mulches for blueberries are very effective. The material should be applied from six to eight inches deep over the entire planting. And it should be repleted each year,” he said. “Mulching provides a plus for strawberry growers. Its use keeps the berries clean and makes picking on wet ground more convenient,” Dreiling disclosed. “Arid" mMe strawberry beds are not irrigated, it is essential to use a one-inch deep sawdust mulch over the entire bed throughout the life of the plants. “The mulch should be applied to the new everbearing plantation ten days to two weeks after the plants have been set out,” Dreiling concluded. i§££5i STmteral rtar* H.

Seal Chairmen Learn Duties Recently the Christmas Seal Chairmen in the eight county area of the Tuberculosis and Respiratory Disease Association of Northern Virginia met in Front Royal to learn of their responsibilities as local Chairmen. From the Rappahannock Gounty area was Mrs. Earl Edrponds Chairman. They learned that the funds provided by the use of Christmas Seals are used to hfelp finance education of 21 applicants for nursing training, for t^o students of inhalation thereapy at Shenandoah College and the Winchester Memorial Hospital, for providing skin testing and x-ray surveys of school ptersognelyg ?jfojr distributing (Jbildren^s^flaalfih Adventures to the elementary students in the eijght counties of Northern Virginia, for providing instructional material to hospital staff personnel, for assisting in Rrovidiing special project funds to increase the number of resident physicians in internal medicine at the University of Virginia Hospital with their special training at Blue Ridge Sanatorium and for some direct services to patients.

Southern States Front Royal Cooperative Phone 635-3118 •, FRONT ROYAL Your Southern States Cooperative Agency Spreading of Dutch Elm Disease Halted Blacksburg - Dutch elm disease in our American elms is not thfearsomething it was when it was first discovered in the United States. Man could do nothing to save its victims. Nor could anything be done to save the healthy elms which stood in the path of the infection. According to R. Jay Stipes, a Virginia Tech assistant professor of plant pathology and physiology and an extension specialist; and John A. Weidhaas, associate professor of entomology and an extension entomologist, science is still powerless to prevent the death of an infected tree. But it can, with prompt action, prevent the disease from spreading. Weidhaas and Stipes term Dutch elm disease America’s most devastating and econoimportant disease of shade trees. First discovered in Ohio in 1930, and in Virginia in 1934, it has spread north and south from Quebec to Georgia and east and west from the Atlantic coast to the Rocky Mountains. The symptoms of Dutch elm disease are most apparent during June and July. First noticeable are the wilting, curling and yellowing of leaves on one or more of the tree’s upper branches. Later, the tree prematurely sheds its leaves and the sapwood vessels plug with a fungus. Death usually occurs within a few weeks or in a year or more. The Dutch elm disease is caused by a fungus that gets into the sap conducting vessels of the tree where it multiplies rapidly to literally shut off the tree’s water. The fungus is carried from tree to tree, healthy or otherwise, by two species of elm bark beetles, the European elm bark beetle and the native elm bark beetle. Weidhaas descrdibed the two broods of the European elm bark beetle and the importance of controlling the spring brood, the immediate cause of the destructive disease in the trees. “The spring brood passes the winter in the form of partially developed larvae or grubs in the bark of an elm that was cut or broken no earlier than the previous summer. In early spring, t[ie beetles complete their development and emerge in the form of winged adults from early May into mid-June. “The beetles feed on twigs of living trees close to the wood from which they emerged. If very few or no elm trees are nearby, they fly further to feed. But they don’t always -fly far enough.^ The chances of infesting the healthy trees are greatest within 100 feet of the wood source and diminish rapidly up to 500 feet. Seldom are there infections as far as 500 to 700 feet, and rarely over 700 feet,” Weidhaas noted. The extension specialist explained thast in all cases, Dutch elm disease control are preventive programs. ‘It is essential that control measures be carried out precisely and thoroughly or they can become a waste of time and money. A four step program of sanitation, supplemental spraying, prevention of root-graft transmission and the use of Dutch elm disease resistant species must be done at the right time and in the right way,” insisted Stipes. “And that includes supervision by a trained and experienced arborist,” he added. Since the bark beetles usually limit their travel after hatching to 900 feet or less, all dying wood should be removed from that perimeter to deprive them of breeding wood. If left available to the beetles, any dying elm wood two or more inches in diameter could serve as beetle breeding wood. “Supplemental spraying with methoxychlor can be given highvalue trees, or all ^sceptible elms, for protection against feeding by fungus-carrying beetles. Spraying without a sanitation program is of marginal value,” stated Weidhaas. Often trees growing side by side intertwine their roots and develop natural grafts where liquids contaminated with fungus from a diseased tree infect a healthy tree. “The spread of the fungus by this means can be prevented by killing segments of possible root graft unions with Vapam, or UPM (32.7 per cent sodium methyldithiocarbamate). The chemical should be applied as soon as the first symptoms are observed," Stipes instructed. Both scientists recommended t he use of disease resistant species i" new plantings where for some reason, disease control measures are not observed. The Buisman elm, the Groeneveld elm, the Chinese elm and the Siberian elm are resistant species suggested for planting in Virginia. Annual expenses of a Dutch elm disease control program might prove substantially less than the Everyone Benefits Cancer strikes at any age. It affects children as well as adults.

Commission Okays Early Dove Opener After considering a midSeptember opening and an unsplit season, the Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries finally settled on a split dove season opening September 4, Executive Director Chester F. Phelps reports. The first half of the split season will end October 30 with the second segment coming in December 22 and ending January 3. Hunters will be faced with a bog limit of 12 instead of the more liberal 18 birds allowed the past two years to aid in statistical research on the dove. Shooting, as usual, is limited to afternoons from 12 o’clock prevailing time until sunset. Rail season was set to open September 1, a few days ahead of predicted high tides, and close November 9. Shooters will be allowed 15 clapper and king rails combined plus 25 sora and Virginia rails combined each day. Hunting is permitted from Vfe hour before sunrise until sunset. Hunters will also be allowed 15 gallinules daily but season dates will be set along with those for waterfowl. Snipe and woodcock hunters were awarded a November 15 through January 18 season with a daily bag of 5 woodcock and 8 snipe. As with other migratory birds except doves, shooting is permitted from xh. hour before sunrise until sunset each day. There was some discussion of opening the woodcock season early west of the Blue Ridge so hunters could pursue the timberdoodles during the early small game season in that area, but it was discovered that resulting penalties in shooting days for such a split would deprive hunters from both sides of the state of many shooting days. The Commission opted for a bonus blue-winged teal season to be offered along with the waterfowl framework, and instructed Game Division Chief R. H. Cross to request a special early sea duck season for the state. The Commission will hold a public hearing on proposed waterfowl regulations in Richmond, August 18, at which time the federal waterfowl season framework is expected to be available.

Security Notes ' A bride’s list of “things to do’’ should include changing her name on social security records, according to Mrs. Hazel F. Crumpton, social security district manager in Winchester. When she changes her name, the new bridfe is keeping her social security earnings record accurate and yp-to-date, she said. “Any earnings she had under social security before her marriage, as well as any earnings after her marriage, can then be correctly credited to the same record,’’ she said. “It’s her earnings record that determines the amount of her cash benefits-and not just when she retires,’’ Mrs. Crumpton said. “The disability and survivors programs also provide protection for the young bride and her growing family during her working years.” She said a new bride can change her name by calling, writing, or visiting any social security office. Or, she can get a form at any post office and many employer per R L. BORDEN LUMBER CO.

A doctor might say it is the juxtaposition of two obicularis muscles, a mathematician might say it is nothing divided by two; I guess it is left to the individual as to what it means. My mother said, “A kiss is not worth a hill of beans unless it is prompted by sincerity.” And that is what is on my mind at this time. On a recent trip I passed near the school in which I attended tenth grade. As memory will do, it took me back to a day when we were discussing some scientific problem; I was called on to recite, after which this girl across the aisle reached over and kissed me. I was surprised as was everyone else. Later I inquired as to her WANTED Production Workers in jail jlnisjivinmnAe in an aepai i inenrs F. M. C. CORP. Front Royal, Va. Equal opportunity nMiaelniiAa employer reason for embarrassing me in that fashion. She replied that she ‘just felt the impulse’. Sincerity? I’ guess if Leigh Hunt could write a poem about^ Jenny, I can remember a similar experience, and also borrow a few of his words - “Say I’m weary, say I’m sad; say that health and wealth have missed me; say I’m growing old, but add - Nan kissed me.’’ I have a poem about this lad who would haunt the neighborhood in which the light of his love resided. He would wander through the dusk and listen ‘to the old love songs she was singing of kisses kept for years in memory . He expresses a desire to have her sing those songs for him. Too late for both, he realizes that his love was not in vain. His poem ends this way • “Strange dreams of days so long ended, but who was there to whisper or to see that by the rose you tended, you leaned to let the dusk hide all the splendid smile you kept, and kept in vain for me.” I will quote this dear person I know. “A kiss is a mere prelude to something else.” She has quite a philosophy, frequently she is right.
