Browning at his desk when the Flint Hill and Citizens Bank merged. Mr. Browning has retired after 48 years in the banking profession. Mr. Browning Retires From Banking Career John S. Browning completed i lengthy career in banking when h< retired effective July 31 from hit position with Farmers anc Merchants National Bank, Flinl Hill Branch. His tenure of service in the Flint Hill establishment covered almost 48 years. Mr. Browning says that his extensive service has not beer without its ups and downs for he began as assistant cashier of Flinl Hill National Bank in 1923, rose over the ensuing years tc president and was reduced agair to vice president recently. The demotion was in no way the resull of any inadequacies on his part but rather the outcome of subsequent mergers with larger firms. “John S.” is a native of Flinl Hill, Rappahannock County Virginia, bom February 16, 1901. He attended grade school there and graduated from Flint Hill High School, a three-year facility. After passing an entrance examination at the University of Virginia he attended two years, from 1918 to 1920 enrolled in a premed course. When his father became ill, he returned home to manage the family farm and after three years of this “down-to-earth” job he embarked on his banking career in November 1923 at Flint Hill National. This bank had opened in 1920 with H. Ewing Wall as cashier and when he left for a position at Quantico with a newly established bank in December, much sooner than expected, John S. assumed the cashier’s position in 1924. At that time the only other employee was an elderly gentleman, J. W. Cary, who acted as assistant cashier, director and vice president. Mr. Browning was named to the Board of Directors in 1931 and jumped from cashier to president in 1962 following the death of Frank H. Cary. At the same time Mrs. Mary Latham took the role of cashier. Flint Hill National Bank merged in 1963 with Citizens National Bank of Front Royal and with the merger came a step down in title for Mr, Browning to senior vice president. Mrs. Latham fell back to assistant cashier, the position which she presently retains. Citizens National merged to become an affiliate of Farmers and Merchants National Bank of Winchester in 1966 and that network covers 14 banks and branches. Another step down in title ensued which made Mr. Browning vice president. Said he, “It was time to retire before they made me janitor.” It seemed that John S. had developed an acute eye for figures in his profession, therefore it was not surprising when he took the striking Miss Georgia Kay of Bowling Green, Caroline County Virginia for his bride on the last day of September 1938. Miss Kay spent a year in Rappahannock as Public Health Nurse before saying “I do.” They have two sons, John B. Browning who is adjustor in charge of the Charlottesville District of United States Fidelity and Guaranty Company of Baltimore, and Edgar K. Browning, a professor of economics at the University of Virginia. In essence this is a dual retirement for Mrs. Browning has retired after teaching ten years at the local high school. They say they intend to enjoy the rocking chairs on the long porch of their big white frame house for a while and both are great readers and bridge players. They do not plan any extensive traveling but after catching up on family visiting they will visit points of interest in Virginia which time has not allowed previously. With all of the recent rains the lawn mower has gotten more attention than anything else since Mr. Broyming’s retirement He said he worked through Friday evening at the bank and had been mowing every minute (between showers) since. Of the changes over the years, Mr. Browning said it was interesting to note that when he began his profession the Flint Hill Bank had assets of not more than a quarter million and now through the affiliation with Farmers and Merchants the total assets are more than 78 million. Mr. Browning was honored with a retirement dinner last Thursday evening at the Quality Court Restaurant in Front Royal given by co-workers. He was presented several gifts including a generous gift certificate to a prominent men’s clothing store in Front Royal from Farmers and Mer(Continued on Page 2) Bloodmobile Here Wed., August'18 The Bloodmobi]£ will be at the Trinity Episcopal Church Parish Hall on August 18 from 12 noon to 6 p.m. Anyone from 18 to 65 is urged to contribute.

Amissville who was riding in the back of the truck, sustained a cuf in his head. He was treated at Fauquier Hospital and released after being transported there by Amissville Rescue Squad.

Cost-Share Payments Made Rappahannock County farmers who have reported completion of approved conservation practices under the 1971 Rural Environmental Assistance Program (REAP) are receiving their costshare payments, according to J. W. Coates, County Executive Director, Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS). The payments represent the Federal Government’s share of the cost of carrying out approved soil, water, woodland and wildlife conservation measures and pollution-abatement practices. Farmers participating in REAP bear the remainder of the cost of such practices which often benefit the entire community. REAP costshare payments are designed to encourage farmers to carry out enduring conservation and pollution-abatement practices that they could not-or would notcarry out without cost-sharing assistance. REAP cost-shares earned by fanners in the county through June 30 amounted to approximately $13,000. Some 160 farmers are participating in this year’s program with 90 of them having reported completion of at least one approved practice by June 30. The County ASCS Office will lissue and mail drafts to farmers who are due a cost-share payment. Those who have completed approved practices but Eve not reported completion to s County ASCS Office should do as soon as possible. “Miss Virginia 1971“, who is Miss Linda Jean Moyer of Norfolk, will be a special guest tonight in the Flint Hill annual gala parade held in connection with the Firemen’s Carnival which began last night and continues through Saturday.

Easy Care Fabrics Homemakers who have benefitted during recent years through the development of several aids to easier housekeeping are especially happy with easy-care fabrics. But, according to professional home economists, users of the fabrics should develop a better understanding of what they can expect of the materials. “To most homemakers, easy care fabrics mean materials that do not soil easily or quickly and which can be wiped clean or be easily laundered with little or no ironing,” stated Mildred A. Payne, assistant professor and extension specialist in home furnishings with the College of Home Economics at Virginia Tech. “We want all this and beauty Loo. And the textile industry is doing a good job helping us to reach that ideal. Nevertheless, we should be sure that we know and understand what we are getting,” emphasized Mrs. Payne. The specialist told of recent refinements in glass fibers and other man-made fibers. She mentioned the development of soil *v5i3voiivv^ hi Tiiv no era .7®nvin selves, durable press finished, fireproof materials, soil resistance and soil releasing. “With such refinements and alterations in the fibers, we sometimes have to give up certain material advantages to which we have become accustomed. We need to recognize that these alterations may weaken fibers so we cannot expect as much wear from them, or that we can expect a change in the way they feel or handle,’’ Mrs. Payne stressed. The home economist reminded homemakers of Xheir responsibility to learn new ways of caring for the new fabrics. “If you want easy-care fabrics, you must learn the ‘easy’ way to care for them,” she challenged. “You will defeat your purpose and waste your money if you continue to use the same old methods. If the tag on the new tablecloth tells you to tumble-dry, you may not be happy with linedried results. Or if you are directed to wash your new draperies or bedspread, you may be most unhappy if you send them to the cleaner,” warned Mrs. Payne. “Consumers will find it important to read, understand and follow whatever directions for care and use accompany the product. They should also understand how to use the product to get the most out of it,” Mrs. Payne concluded. Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Weaver in Culpeper. Mrs. Harold Curtis of Purcellville was a Friday visitor of Mrs. Julia Curtis and Mrs. J. L. Walter. Guests this week of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Priest are Mr. and Mrs. Edward Priest of Ellicott City, Md.

In my book Harlan ranks as one of the better, practical, young agronomist in the State.) Southern Corn Leaf Blight (SCLB) is cause for concern to many Virginia farmers who have T cytoplasm or blends of T cytoplasm. Perhaps a review of our thinking on the best way to use these blighted fields for silage will be helpful to you. Apparently, most of the susceptible corn plants are not severely damaged until they reach the tasseling stage. Severe infection at tasseling can prevent formation of grain due to death of the leaves. This means that the quality of silage made from such corn is lowered. It also means that usual guidelines for time of harvesting, such as the hard dough stage of maturity when husks and lower leaves are turning brown, do not apply. Experience in 1970 indicated that about the best use a farmer can make of blighted corn is to allow the leaves to turn brown, wait 5-10 days, and start ensiling. This gives the plant the opportunity to make as much growth and grain as possible, reduces the amount of moisture in the silage, and harvests the crop before lodging losses become too serious. Often the blighted plants are not as dry as they appear to be because of the juicy stalk. On the other hand, once the leaves are severely infected, drying can be very rapid and the chopped forage may quickly become too dry to ensile properly. When at least 50 percent of the plants in the field are normal cytoplasm or resistant to SCLB, VILLAGE SHOP Main St. - Flint Hill TOY S— COME SEE!! Open Tues. thru Sat. 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. harvesting time should be guided by the healthy plants rather than tfypse infected with SCLB. Chopping the healthy corn at the dough stage of grain maturity is probably the best guide. Allowing the healthy corn to reach the hard dough stage will often mean that the silage will be too dry to ensile properly due to the excessively dry blighted corn. Feeding trials with the blighted silage have indicated that the blight organism is not harmful ^ livestock. Because of the shortage of normal cytoplasm varieties, considerable acreage was planted to flint varieties in Virginia this year. Good stands were obtained from these varieties and they have proven to be resistant to SCLB thus far. When used for silage, it is suggested that they be harvested earlier than the dent varieties which farmers are accustomed to using in order to prevent the grain from maturing to the point where the hard seed coat may be a problem in livestock utilization. Ensile the flint corn when it is in the early dough stage rather than the hard dough, glaze stage guideline followed by dent varieties. Can Us For Shengas Corp.

Amissyille, Va. 937*4598 Hunting Accidents Last Year Total 79 A total of 79 hunting accidents, 13 of them fatal, made the 1970-71 fiscal year the worst on record in Virginia, even surpassing the record 69 injuries and deaths of the previous year, reports Game Commission Safely Officer J. N. Kerrick. Of those involved both as shooters and victims, 5 were graduates of the Hunter Safety Course sponsored jointly by the Game Commission and the National Rifle Association. As usual, various examples of careless gun handling accounted for over half of the accidents affecting 43 victims. Of all the single causes, 19 persons mistaken for game led the list. Victims concealed by brush, covered by a shooter swinging on game or moving into the line of fire were also high up on the list. Loading and unloading firearms and putting them into or removing them from vehicles were prime times for accidents to happen. Most other accidents involved dropping loaded weapons or jarring them while the muzzle pointed at the victim. Unsafe weapons contributed to some accidents. Twenty-two of the injuries were self-inflicted. In one instance a hunter was sitting on a log with a squirrel tail dangling from his hunting coat pocket when another hunter cut loose at the waving tail raking his left arm and face with shot and injuring his eye. In another case, three hunters were sitting beside a tree with a dog between them when another hunter blasted the dog with bird shot thinking it was a turkey,, spraying the hunters with shot. Two of the 29 accidents occurred in Rappahanocck County. One victim was mistaken for game. The other was covered by a shooter swinging on game. Neither was fatal.

In Julia Fletcher’s poem Little Things, she makes this observation-“Little drops of water, little grains of sand, Make the mighty ocean and the pleasant land And the little minutes, humble though they be, Make the mighty ages of eternity.” Went to church yesterday and heard a wonderful sermon based on so-called little things. He seemed to think that with God there is nothing too small in His divine scheme of things; everything is important with God. After coming home, eating brunch and finding that my good deed for the day had been cancelled (taking lad to nature camp) I set up my hammock between two trees up the mountain above the house. After reading the Sunday paper I spent some time in meditation. Little things important with God. I needed that. Is my minuscule intellect important to God? Do my expressed thoughts cause people to think of me as a fool and just ‘laugh them off’ or do they delve deeper into matters because I have caused them to think. Someone has said; “Big fleas - have little fleas on their back to bite 'em, and little fleas have littler fleas; and so adinfinitum.” As far into the microcosm and into the macrocosm as man has been able to see, he can see the PUNT PINES Mwwr MMVtfWIWK*! Chief Warden C. W. Jenkins is posting signs explaining the new Reforestation of Timberlands Program being initiated. A law passed by the General Assembly enables landowners to receive financial aid for reforesting their land. New Program Began In Reforestation A new Reforestation of Timberlands Program went into effect on July l, 1971 reports Don Heverling, Forester with the Virginia Division of Forestry for Greene, Madison, and Rappahannock Counties. It will provide generous financial help for landowners who would like to reforest their woodlands. It all began when the 1966 timber survey showed that pine timber in Virginia was being cut 15 percent faster than it was being grown. It is hoped that the new program can eventually correct the deficit. Landowners may receive up to 120 or $30 per acre for site preparation and tree planting work. Most cutover woodland and old fields will qualify. A landowner may plant trees and receive cost sharing on as little as 5 acres or as much as 500 acres per year. In addition, forestry crews are available that can help with the land preparation and tree planting. Landowners may rent State equipment, use their own equipment and labor, or hire private contractors to do the work. This new Reforestation of Timbeaiands Program should give many Virginia landowners the opportunity to improve timberlands. Forester Heverling suggests that anyone desiring additional information contact him at Box 148, Madison, Va., and ask for publication Number 81.

Miss Addie Boyd of Flint Hill, Social Security Notes The Travelers Insurance Company, which is the Medicare Part B Carrier in the State of Virginia, has centralized its Roanoke and Norfolk operations in the Richmond Travelers office, reports Mrs. Hazel F. Crumpton, manager of the Winchester Social Security office. This consolidation was made to give the Medicare beneficiaries of Virginia a more uniform review and to improve claims processing. “The move will make it possible for Travelers to employ the use of computers between their Virginia office and the home office in Hartford, Conn, where the Medicare claims are paid, Mrs Compton said. The Travelers Insurance Company states that moving its offices in Virginia and changing over to computers may cause a temporary delay in paying some Medicare claims. This delay is not expected to be extensive and will eventually result in better service to all Medicare beneficiaries in Virginia.
