Wells, 57, joined the Daytons in 1938 as a buyer in ltB fashion Model Room which he Vater retitled the Oval Room. He sparked the company’s first venture into national advertising in fashion magazines after World War II. By 1954, Wells was vice president for apparel and 10 years later was vice prest dent for publicity. He was the innovator in the department stores' attention-getting changes in merchandising which reflected the expansion from a midwest family-owned business to a natonal-growth oriented company.

He has fully recovered after undergoing heart surgery last December. $674,743 County Budget for 1967-68 Viewed By Supervisors at May Meeting Held Friday County finances comprised a large part of the business of the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors at the May meeting held Friday.* The grand total of the proposed budget for 1967-68 which was submitted by the budget committee totaled $674,743. This is an increase of $98,657 over the previous year. The proposed budget was carefully examined and minor revisions made. The budget will be published and a public hearing held at the June Board Meeting before it can be officially adopted. As is usual, the greatest expenditure is for feducation, and school funds to be administered total $483,370. The increase over the 66-67 year is $79,440. A breakdown of school funds shows $307,450 going for instruction; $11,250 for the School Board and Super intendent's office; $670 for coordinate activities; $63,625 for auxiliary agencies; housing will take $32,610 and fixed charges amount to $4,810. Capital outlay and debt services (stand at $28,155 and $34,800, respectively, both sub| stantially increased. Public assistance is the second largest category with a total of $104,140 to be dis-j bursed. Of this amount public assistance takes $85,260 and^ $18,880 is used for administrative purposes. Financ-! ing is done with state, federal and county funds. State and federal supplements total) $80,260 and the county sharel is $23,471. Salaries for county officers, courts, prisioners, accessory medical examiner, fire prevention, zoning and planning ; commissions, public health, maintenance of buildings and grounds, are among the numerous other expenditures (which take the remaining ! $87,233. !

The allotment for protection of livestock and fowls is $3,400 which is financed by the sale of dog tags. The current levy on real estate and personal property will remain at $3.80 per $ 100 valuation. Consideration * had been given to raising the levy on real estate and eliminating the personal property tax. A large delegation of land owners was present at the Board meeting to go on record as approving the existing zoning ordinances and requesting that they remain intact. Acontroversial aspect of the ordinances is the elimination of house trailers except in prescribed trailer parks. Resident Engineer James Skeens reported that the Board of Road Viewers had favorableconsidered the road to the proposed dump near Sperryville. A right of way will be needed before this can be added to the secondary system. The Board approved an annual expenditure of $24 forthe storing of deed book microfilm, and also approved payment of $141.78 for a new deed and bond book. It was noted that land appraisal was required every six years and that next year this must be done. Leases for dumps located at Amissville arid at Sperryyille were approved and are ready for signing. This brings the solution to an acute problem a bit closer. It is anticipated that the Amissville dump may be in operation in the near future. Work! on the road to the dump at Sperryville will be required before it can be opened to the public. Three hospital bills for indigent patients were approved for payment as were current county operating bills.

Come Weal, or Come Woe Is Your Status Quo (A sermon delivered Sunday, April 30th, 1967 by the Rev Charles F. Glaenzer in Trinity Episcopal Church, Washington.! With most of the trees begir ning to leaf, with grazing lands being fertilized, and farm lands being plowed and prepared for planting, it seems only natural that our thoughts consider: growth. Our nation has designated this week as ‘Soil Stewardship Week’, and the Church Calendar designates today: Rogation Sunday. All signs and proclamations are pointing to ‘growth’. Since I was a child in school 1 found meaning in this time of year by taking part in an annual celebration called Arbor Day. Everyone helped to plant a tree where a tree seemed to be needed. So, because our beautification plan for Trinity calls for several more dogwood trees, 1 went up on Stewart Mountain to select two. As I walked over the hills, I began to be aware that most of the small trees which I came across were bent, pulled to the ground, or choked out by vines and honeysuckle. j STOP! i At This Sign • Designed for today's . . . end tomorrows’ most powerfuf cart. ATLANTIC Service Station SPERRYVILLE, VA. J. Bradley Atkins L R. Waters Atlantic Kef in inf Co No one had come by and cu lout their enemy, to help therr jgrow into more desirablt trees. I began to think_how much this condition of negleci 'which allows young trees to be bent and warped and distorted has its parallel in how young life is similarly warped b> family and civil neglect and indifference. Today, in our Rappahannock County jail, awaiting disposition, are two children; one 10 years old, the other 14. When you and I hear this we immediately respond and level charges against their parents for parental failure to bring them up in our society as lawabiding citizens. Then, having spoken out and vented our frustration on parental neglect we see that this does not help; the conditions remain the same. So we look around for someone else to find a solution for this bad situation. If'we read this week’s Northern Vi* ginia Daily, which severely criticizes our County Lawcnforcing agencies, we may feel pangs of resentment, and in turn lash out at them for aringing this ‘smudge’ on our bounty name; “Why haven’t tney taxen care or tnis situa cion?’, or . ,what take; them so long, they have ha< ample time”. Time to do what' They have had ample time t< do what with these children' Who will take them? Fostei Homes, you say! Do you knov a home which will take them' I don't! Your county agencies don't! F.ven established Boys Homes are not readily available without meeting many prt requesites. Among which arc psychological examinations, which must be administered to each child. This must be done by a responsible hospital or medical agency, anc a backlog there requires weeks of waiting one’s turn, With this hurdle finally accomplished, a new one appears; the evaluation of his earning potential seems toe ow for most homes to accept rim. They question how‘teacf ible’ he is. To help understand why these wo children tested out sc ow in learning potential, look it these facts. The ten year )ld could have had three years >f school had he enrolled at seven years of age and coninued to attend. The fourteen ear old could have had seven ears of schooling. The two ogether could have had a total Man! What | Vegetables! M.

SperryviUe, Va 4 Phone 967*2111 Your Southern States Cooperative Agency of ten years of school; but ir reality, their combined education amounted to only one year .and a few months. Is it any wonder that their learning potential is so low, even practically impossible to test. Seriously now, what kind of adults can they become? What will they do in our civic community? It is obvious that their parents have failed them. But what about our schools? Here instead of the schools failing the boys we have failed the schools and the boys. I submit that you and I should look at ourselves; or at each other, or in a mirror, to see who has really failed in the last judgment. I remind you that there exists ! no uniform, firm, gentle, per , sistent persuader in our Sovereign Commonwealth of i Virginia which requires Virginia's children to attend i school. Yes, there was such a law, once. But it disappeared I during that great 'massive resistance" movement. It was 1 rescinded as a safeguard to be sure that no white child was by law forced to attend a public i school with a negro child. Thus mandatory school attendance, ; which the State had formerly ; believed in, and enacted laws to enforce, now ceased to be. Since that time, Virginia has allowed local governments to establish their own school attendance requirements, or to UU riotmng aDout it. Rappahan! nock has done nothing abou establishing such a requirement. But accordirlg to publishec reports of the State Board o; Education, Rappahannock has developed what may be callec a syndrome of ‘academicnausea’. Here is why I make this diagnosis. During the 1965 1966 school year, of the 12' schools listed, only one other County had a greater percent of ‘dropouts’ than Rappahannock, which was second. Now, in case you feel that this may be a new development, let me stop this line of rationaliza null. L^UI1I1£, llie ivui-ivoz ! school term this county was , one of those counties which had the highest percentage of ) people twenty-five years old and up, who had completed the fewest years of education, \ Of Rappahannock's highschool-age children, (ages 14’ through 17,) we are apparently 1 losing a sizable number along the w'ay before they reach high school. Rappahannock is low on the list for having a high1 | percentage of these ages enrolled in school. It has been more than ten years now since Virginia’s children have been ‘emancipated’ by this repeal of our manditory attendance law. It has been equally long that Rap pahannock Children have nc legal persuader to‘encourage’ their reluctant or delinquent parents to educate the children in the school. These parents may make their own decision, to educate them or leave them uneducated, except for the liberal education offered by corner-store, service station and garage 'tutors’. Truthfully, Who has any con cern for these children? Do You? To what extent? Do you feel that they need school? Do you feel that civic and social conditioning inherent in school ing, even a few years of which might have helped these two boys, to have been guided from their present life of antisocial acts. If you do, how come you have not raised your voice to your County Supervisors in concern for Rappahannock’s indifferent policy, or policy of the status quo. But lest you grasp for a fast and easy solution to our present dilemma, a school attendance law will introduce more problems of another nature. You must be aware of these too. Some socially or psychologically ■ deprived children suffer definite limitations in their achievement capability. If these children are kept back in grades where they can not pass the work, torepeat the grades, 'they age’ and are left behind with younger children than < themselves. If these low- i achievement pupils have this happen to them several times before longthese children lose their incentive; they are illat-ease have a poor selfimage and become unteachable. This results in drop-outs To cope with the academically unteachable youngster, j or socially and psychological- i lv deprived child, there must be provided an opportunity for j him to learn a productive skill j He must be allowed to substi- I tute for the academic school! technical and manual arts ■ which can fit him for a life-!-1 work, in a gainful occupation, j This may involve establish- I ing a school of manual arts to teach the trades which can pre pare this type of child to become a creative person, and thus a supporting and responsible member of our socie ty. He may learn to be an electrician, a welder, a caroenter. a Diumber, a mechanic! an equipment maintenance man, etc. He must be encouraged not to drop out, by offering him a type of technical training which will give him both a positive and productive image of himself and a gainful part to play in our community social structure. Else, what kind of a parent will he make, and what will his children be like? All this will naturally cost money. You and I know this. So we have been satisfied to let the status quo prevail. It's cheaper ... we think! But deep down inside of your being you know that this shortsightedness breeds moreprob lems; the prophets were also sociologists, ine sins or the fathers will be visited upon the children to the 3rd and 4th generation ..." Our omissions now will cost our children's children more agony than we would even wish on our enemy. Our indifference, or apathy, or ignorance, whatever you choose to call it, is our Corporate Sin. Our failure to provide the fundamentals in our laws and ordinances to insure that our Rappahannock citizens attend school, and likewise provide the educational apportunity for all our children, to the extent they can ichieve, is our corporate sin, ind it has truly helped proluce ‘deprived citizens, if ; wc Lununue our inainerence t from our position of secure • personal immunity, we will be guilty of helping ‘shape’ potential parents who in all ! likelihood will beget chilidren with even moreintense 'maladjustment. These will pro j duce our crime and fill our | welfare roles as unemployable ' adults. ! As you know, there is no law j which requires you and me to act! Except for Christians; j then it is the law of Christ.. . j in which he Commands us to j ‘love our neighbor as we love ; ! ourselves*. This is an op-; J portunity, wherein we may! l help re-shape a mis-shaped condition. If we have a genuine concern for our Rappahannock future, and are willing to submit ourselves to ‘inconvenient loyalty", we can find genuine meaning in our Lord’s reassurance, that ‘Inasmuch' as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, you have done it unto me*. Fronrthe BoSFH? “For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the Scriptures.* (I Cor. 15;3-4). The popular conception of the Gospel is often a little hazy. I find that people have confused the message of the Gospel with the results of the Gospel. The root is one thing and the fruit is another. Both are essential. The Gospel as given above is a message of forgiveness through the cross of Christ It is God’s good news to sinners. The Son of God gave His life on behalf of sinners. It is also a message of victory. Christ rose from the grave. So He not only takes away the guilt of sin, but He gives power over it. The Gospel is the message that (1) Christ died for our sins, (2) Christ was buried, and (3) Christ rose again the third day. This is a message of grace. This is something He did for us. The fruit comes through believing the message. Believe1 it earnestly and it will charge your life. J. W. Adkins!; Panther Tales By Nancv Buntin Not much went on at R.C.H.S. last week.

It has been my joy as a teacher to catch glimpses of “inner beauty” in young people through work they hand in to me. Maybe some of your readers would enjoy them, too, so I am inclosing a sampling of poems you might wish sometime to print. I have many others just as fine, but some are probably too long. I am proud of the students and think they deserve a bit of recognition. Helen M.

The strip that eliminates the bother of repeated spraying and swatting is call NO-PEST* Insecticide Strip by Shell Chemical Company, who first developed it for farm useparticularly in milk ahd feed rooms where fly control is critical. The farm-tested product now adapted for home use, is packaged with a decorative gold-foil cage that can b£ hung or stood on its base anywhere in an enclosed area Impregnated with a modern insecticide, a single 10-inchlong strip meters out minute quantities of vapors into the air at a rate that controls the pests effectively for up to three months In a 10x12x8 foot room. The strip is unique in that insects, do not have to touch it to be killed. While handy at home, it also can take the "rough" out of roughing it in vacation cabins * housetrailers, beach houses, and other enclosures away from home. The strip now is available nationwide for the first time at supermarkets, drug and hardware stores, and Shell service stations. Read The Want Ads Division of Puritan Fashions Corporation 141 E.

Steady Rise in Cycle Casualties • Colonel C. W. Woodson, Jr., Superintendent of State Police and Chairman of the Governor’s Highway Safety Committee today again called attention to the steady rise in traffic casualties involving motorcycles. In 1964, he said, there were 11 fatal crashes involving motorcycles, 332 crashes involving personal injury and 94 involving property damage only. In 1965, the respective totals climbed to 18, 734 and 212. Last year they were up to 23, 1,116 and 282. Here, Colonel Woodson called attention to the low percentage of crashes involving property damage only. “In a collision or non-collision crash involving a motorcycle, the cyclist has small chance of escaping death or injury and this is one reason why the motorcycle mileage death rate is estimated to be from 20.0 to 40.0, as opposed to 5.2 for all motor vehicles in Virginia last year," he added. Colonel Woodson gave the following items of advice for motorcycle riders: 1. Always wear a helmet. Most motorcycle injuries are to the head and serious. It is estimated that a helmet reduces the risk of death by two-thirds. 2. Equip motorcycles with crash bars on the sides and wear heavy protective clothing for the arms and legs. 3. Learn to operate a motorcycle skillfully before entering traffic. It looks easy, but it isn’t. A recent survey showed that 20 percent of 123 injured were operating a motorcycle for the first or second time. Seventy percent had either borrowed or rented the motorcycle. 4. Keep your motorcycle irf good mechanical condition, Virginia requires that they undergo semi-annual inspection and the State Police are now arresting those who do not comply. 5.

Colonel Woodson added that proposed federal legislation directed at motorcycles is most thorough. Hearing Scheduled On Wilderness Areas ■ Superintendent R.

Any organized group interested in the educational programs dealing with home economics is invited to'send representatives to the meeting. We will bfe discussing particular problems and needs of the county and suggested programs to meet these needs will be set up. There are many groups, I’m sure, who could take advantage of and benefit from the programs offered by the extension service. I recently read a timely hint that might be of help to those watching their fat intake. In making a pot of soup, stew, or spaghetti sauce, etc. excess fat can easily be removed by placing an ice cube in a piece of cloth and dipping it into the pot. This would certainly be less time consuming than waiting for the dish to cool down to remove excess fat and grease. Despite stormy weather, the pruning demonstration went on Tuesday. Mr. A. S. Beecher, Extension Horticulturist, offered those present some good information on eliminating unnecessary work involved with caring for plants. He also explained the necessity of clipping into boxwoods instead of just riming to promote good growth and healthy plants. In addition, the discussion of pruning facts and whys will certainly be of value as additions or improvements are made on the home grounds. j Mr*. Reeve Hostess ! For Bridge Club i Mrs. Roy L.

Three bulls and two cows died. The concentrate was properly labeled and the accident was a result of carelessness. “Studies have shown that the list of common chemicals and drugs accidentally ingested in sufficient amounts to cause severe illness or death in young children, was headed by aspirin (about 50 percent) bleaches (5.4 percent), kero sene (4.8 percent), laxatives (2.^ percent) and drain clean ers (2.d percent).

It has been more than offset, furthermore, b> the rising pm portion it! people in the “married" column. sueh has been the case in Rappahannock Counts.
