Christmas Traffic Dangers Cited .%■ With Virginia facing the distinct possibility of topping the all time record for a year's traffic deaths, Colonel C. W. Woodson, Jr., Chairman of the Governor’s Highway Safety Committee and superintendent of State Police, called for an awareness of seasonal dangers during the last few days of 1966. The weekend including Christmas Day last year, he said, saw 19 fatalities. Six Of these occurred on Christmas Day and nine on Christmas Eve. This year’s fatalities are running well above those for the same period of 1965 and there is every chance that they might exceed the 1941 record of 1,110 deaths. Last year’s toll was 1,062. Drinking, Colonel Woodson continued, provides probably the worst hazard at this time of year, affecting both pedestrians and drivers. Alcohol is a factor in at least half of all fatal crashes and the Christmas season sees people who drink drinking more than usual and people who seldom use alcohol using it. "An individual need not be ‘drunk’, as the term is generally used, to be dangerous behind the wheel or in danger afoot. Very small quantities of alcohol interfere drastically with driver performance and cause walkers to become careless.* Eajly darkness, heavy.traffic and general 'holiday' preoccupation were listed by Colonel Woodson as other seasonal dangers. Officers Elected for Washington Fire Co., Rappk. Rescue Squad The Washington Volunteer Fire Department and Rappahannock Rescue Squad held an' election of officers at a joint meeting December 12. Officers in the fire company reelected for another term were Charles Jenkins, presi dent; Gibson Wharton, Chief; Edward Clark, asst, chief; Bertha Armel, sec-treasurer. Jonas Alther was elected to serve as vice president. Reelected as engineers were Charlie Jenkins, Jonas Alther and Ennis Jenkins. Directors are William Estes, Everett Estes and Henry Hudson. In charge of repairs and equipment are Charlie Jenkins and Jonas Alther. Mrs. Bertha Armel was reelected as Captain of Rappahannock Rescue Squad, and appointed as delegates to rep resent the group at the County Fire Association were Clyde Jenkins and Everett Estes. Alternates are Jonas Alther and Jake Smoot. Takes 39 Yrs. Locally To Save $50,000 How long would it take for the average Rappahannock County family, earning what it does at the present time, tc build up a $50,000 retirement fund if It puts aside 7 percent of its Income each month? The question is an important one because of,the constantly rising cost of living. What was a sufficient amount of money to retire on 20 years ago is quite Inadequate now, even with social security. It will be more inadequate 20 years hence. Economists are advising people to look ahead and raise their sights as to how much money they will need for retirement. At one time the advertisements read: "How I retired on $150 a month." Now the amounts mentioned are at least twice that much. At the 7 percent rate, the average Rappahannock County family would be saving approx!

SEASONS GREETINGS Deputy Jenkins* Investigation Proves Fruitful for Neighboring State Investigation by Rappahannock Deputy Sheriff John Walker Jenkins of a breaking and entering hers, led to the apprehension of a West Virginia trio on similar charges in a neighboring county. Deputy Jenkins was investigating the theft of western tack from the farm of E. M. Johnson near Amissville. He alerted auction houses in the surrounding area to be on the lockout for suspicious characters trying to sell such items as saddles, bridles, etc. He received a call from one such proprietor saying someone had made an appointment by phone to bring in tack to sell the following morning. Deputy Jenkins was on the scene at the appointed time with someone from the John son farm to identify the tack. Though the goods was not that of Johnsons, Mr. Jenkins advised the auction house to purchase the tack since he suspected the sale was not legitimate. Further investigation and interro g a t i o n disclosed the tack had been stolen in West Virginia, and in addition the car in which the three, two men and one woman, were riding was improperly registered, the driver had no operator's license plus other minor irregularities. Deputy Jenkins followed the gang into Front Royal, stopped them, signaled the Warren County Sheriff's Department and turned them over to these authorities. The three waived extradition and Warren County authorities sent them back to West Virginia. Evergreens were decorated before Christmas by nature as snow fell on Tuesday. These trees in the yard at the C. T. Bruce,home in Washington resemble giant Ice cream cones. Snow fell furiously all morning and schools were J - dismissed early. Though the accumulation was not great, roads were extremely hazardous for a while.

AAA Warns Extra Alertness in Winter •Weatherlze Yourself for the Winter,* says AAA. “Will this be the winter of your discontent?* asks AAA. To guard against such an eventuality and to get you through the approaching bad weather season unscathed, AAA urges you to weatherlze yourself by being extra alert when walking or driving in traffic. John J. wickstead, Manager of the Automobile Club of Virginia, said that the Club has supplied area elementary and Junior high schools with copies of this month's Grand Award winning traffic safety poster, “Be Extra Alert in Bad Weather,* by Dawn DuShane, age .15, of Tyrone Junior High School, St. Petersburg, Fla., as part of its monthly contribution to area schools' traffic safety education programs. •The advent of bad weather in most parts of the country brings with it a rash of traffic accidents and the greatest num ber of traffic deaths,* noted the AAA official. “Thus,* he said, "alertness is essential for both motorists and pedestrians. Bad weather reduces visibility and lessens both the driver's and the pedestrian’s control of their movements. Such hazardous conditions require motorists and pedestrians to move s lowly and cautiously.* AAA is also asking parents to help weatherize their children by dressing them properly in bright well-fitting cloth ing; getting them off to school early enough to allow extra time to be especially careful; and avoiding the use of umbrellas, which can obstruct vision and be a very dangerous weapon; and not to add to the usual congested and hazardous conditions around the schools by driving children to schotol. Rain or snow makes this parental practice doubly hazardous for children and drivers. AX BOOTS! BOOTS!

The birth of a New Year may seem — to many people — precious little reason for celebrating. as you total up your Christmas bills, worry about your mounting fuel expenses, and ponder the world situation you may reflect that if 1967 is going to be like 1966, who needs it? But never fear. There are plenty of other excuses for celebrating on Jan. 1. Birthdays are always cause for a party. J. Edgar Hoover, director of the FBI, was born Jan. 1, 1895. Instead of shouting “Happy New Year," you can shout “Happy birthday, J. Edgar!" Otner famous people nave New Year's Day for their birthdays, according to researchers for World Book Encyclopedia. Lorenzo de’Medici, patron of the arts and ruler of Florence, was born Jan. 1, 1735, his birthday, and Revolutionary hero "Mad Anthony" Wayne was born on the same date 10 years later. And though it may be unchival rous to mention a lady’s age, flagmaker Betsy Ross came into the world Jan. 1, 1752. There are plenty of other reasons fqr celebration. Haiti proclaimed its independence from France Jan. 1, 1804 Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation Jan. 1, 1863. The Commonwealth of Australia was proclaimed Jan. 1, 1901. And the United States parcel post service began Jan. 1, 1913. But don’t let your party last long; not more than a week or two. It was on Jan. 16,1919, that the 18th amendment to the Con stitution was ratified. That’s the amendment that prohibited the sale of alcoholic beverages.

Seventh District Republicans Meet Seventh District Republicans seemed confident of fielding candidates for all legislative and senate seats at theft Do cember meeting. The biggest game on which they have set their sights Is House Speaker E. Blackburn Moore, but each Democratic incumbent seemed to be a target. Del. John N. Dalton, Chairman of the Republican Legislative campaign committee, led a fast-paced discussion of possible candidacies. In so doing, he emphasized the "realistic” goal of the state-wide election of 21 mem bers of the House of Delegates and 9 members of the State Senate. This would be a sufficient number to block •bad emergency legislation”, he said. Emergency legislation takes effect as soon as the Governor signs the law, and requires an 80% majority in each house. County leaders were not as certain of contesting all county offices in next year’s election* Prospects ranged from *cap Trout Stocked In Reservoirs Annual trout stocking in Virginia reservoirs is slated to begin during December and continue into January, according to Game Commission Fish Division Chief R. G. Martin. Philpottand Carvins Cove Reservoirs, consistent producers of nice rainbows under this program are scheduled to receive 23,000 and 3,200, respectively, of the advanced fingerlings. Smith Mountain, which received its initial trout introduction last year is to be stocked with 30,000 additional rainbqws. Many rainbows up to 17 inches long were taken from Smith Mountain this summer and fall. Ten thousand of the trout fingerlings are scheduled to go into South Holston Reservoir as part of a cooperative stocking project with the Tennessee Game and Fish Commission. Newly constructed J. W. Flanagan and Pound Reservoirs are scheduled to get their initial stocking of 6,000 and 140 rainbows respectively. Fishery biologists view these new waters as potentially good producers. Other waters to receive trout are G a t e w o od Reservoir, where 1,6\)0 will be introduced and Scott-Wise Lake which will receive 500. The Commission’s reservoir trout stocking program has paid off handsomely during the past few years. The fingerlings are taken from the hatcheries at a time when additional space is needed to make room for growth of the trout which will be stocked in the spring a s catchables. The fingerlings about double their size in the lakes before the next angling season and a few survive to become real lunkers. Jack Hoffman, Fisheries Management Field Coor dinator, says "Some anglers fish in these lakes and never catch a trout, but those that know how consistently make nice catches including many limits.* Read the Want Ads!

Phelps. Charles R. Davis of Westport, Connecticut,donated the parcel because he wanted to see It remain as open space and serve as a sanctuary for birds. Game Division Chief Dick Cross said, "Since the Rappahannock River has^no area which serves as a Waterfowl refuge, this property would lend Itself nicely to such a use." Cross estimates that the area could support 5,000-10,000 wintering geese If suitable food were provided. Such a wintering flock would improve goose hunting over a large area surrounding the refuge. The refuge site Is located some 5 miles downstream from the Route 301 bridge at Port Royal on the north shore of the Rappahannock. The main section consists almost entirely of open fields and Includes a considerable length of shoreline. A separate parcel is wooded and will pror bably be opened for squirrel hunting. Dove hunting may be permitted on the refuge tract since Waterfowl will not vet have arrived during the early part of the dove season. The. area Is located on, a major dove flyway. The Commission plans to close surrounding Rap pahannock waters for 1,000 yards to waterfowl hunting. Similar regulations exist at the Commission's Hog Island and Elm Hill Waterfowl Refuges. Development of waterfowl food plantings and water control structures is expected to get under way In early spring. Limited dove and squirrel hunting will probably be permitted in the fall of 1967.

A LEGGETT'S culpeper, Virginia Mrs. Beahm Enjoys Rug Braiding . On cold and snowy winter days In Rappahannock one may find Mrs. Janie Beahm snug in her log home nestled against the Blue Ridge in Keyser Hollow close to the Park Line busily sorting, washing and preparing wool pieces for hand braided rugs. A favorite past time of Mrs. Beahm’s, though she has only been doing this handwork for about eight or ten years, her products have traveled to many parts of the world. Mrs. Beahm has made at least one 8 x 10 braided rug every year since she became interested in doing this work, and in addition has made many smaller ones. Four of her large rugs went to Italy with a family in the service. The last one, just finished the past summer, went to Michigan. Friends save wool pieces and garments for her and she spends the winter preparing her wool strips then starts the rug, but finishes them in the summer when she can work ouisiae on me lawn wnere there is more space. She says the most important thing is to keep the rug flat to avoid buckling and curling, “for I have seen some people make them and they look like dish pans they are so curled up.* Mrs. Beahm is 79 years old and lives alone, though two of her sons live close by. She is a native of Rappahannock, a Smedley, and was married when she was 30. Her husband Silas Abraham Beahm, died in 1940. She has three sons, Sila$ Jr. and George William of Rappahannock and Isaac Henry of Washington, D.C. When the children were young Mr. Beahm wanted to go west, but says Mrs. Beahm, *1 just couldn’t leave Rappahannock.* Of her life, Mrs. Beahm says there have been good times and bad times. I have spent many happy hours here until Mr. Beahm became ill several years before his death. I have dried apples, cracked out wal nuts, sewed and worked hard. My sons all served time with the military forces. /////s' - of peace, harmonv *iml love is upon us. Lei us eafierlv share in ts blessings. t 'J BILL’S Sporting Goods Front Royal, Va.

None but the heart that your dear smile has gladdened Can know ho)v that heart by your going is saddened. Long years stretch ahead under sorrow’s bleak reign As the deep cup of grieving 1 daily must drain. • In truth, it were all more than spirit could bear - Were it not for the hope that I know we both share.
