NUMBER 36 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY, JULY 13, 1967 l(k Copy Board of Supervisors Concerned Over Proposed Wilderness - Park Area The proposal for the establishment of a Wilderness Area in Shenandoah National Park was a primary topic at the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors meeting held Friday at the courthouse. Some officials and residents have registered concern over future water supplies and the abandoning of fire trails if the Wilderness Area is establish ed. Allison H. Stevenson and Graham T. Munkrittrick of the Soil Conservation Service were present with maps which indicated prospective dam sites on Broad Hollow Run, Hazel River, Thornton and Covington River tributaries for future water impound' ment. The Board requested four copies of the map with figures relative to water storage acres and amounts. The Board also proposed a resolution be sent to Senator Byrd and Congressmen Spong and Marsh, asking aid in preserving these dam sites and established fire trails. Mrs. M ary Ouaintance issued an invitation to board members to view the summer school program now in progress at Sperryville ETementary School. Friday morn ing is the time scheduled for visitation. A compulsory school attendance law was broached by the Rev. Charles Glaenzer. This 'had been discussed previously and the Commonwealth’s Attorney had been requested to draft proposed legislation, however, he was out of town Friday. Mr. Glaenzer, Mrs. Pauline Bruce and Mrs. John Cargill were appointed to meet with Mr. Davis before a special board meeting sched uled for July 17, to work out ' details of such an ordinance for presentation in August. E. L. Weakley of Amissville was present to registers complaint about the County Fire School which is generally held at Amissville carnival grounds He stated the smoke and fumes were injurious to his property and health and that the storage of oil at the grounds was dangerous. Supervisor Foster was request ed to discuss the school with H. S. Barksdale. The need of a screen door for the courthouse was indi cated and is to be considered. The Board voted a contribution of $100 for the Rappahannock River Basin Advisory Committee. Mrs. Pauline Bruce registered concern over Dog Fund Revenues and expenditures. Among questions asked by Mrs. Bruce were why the dog warden’s mileage was limited to $13.33 a month and when he has traveled this amount should he refuse to answer calls: is a salary of $85 per month realistic for the position; how could the warden become a member of the State Retirement System; What are rules for paying animal claims (payment of $700 sheep claim cited); has the Board considered increase in dog tax; since all expenses have increased would it be desirable to increase tax. Mrs. Bruce suggested a review of the past 16 years as to revenue collected, yearly salary for warden during that period and amount of claims paid.

Local Residents Fatten Bank Accounts New York, June 10 - If money in the bank is an indicator of economic strength, then residents of Rappahannock County are in comparatively good financial shape. Despite their record outlay in the past fiscal year for goods and services, they ended up with more liquid assets than usual. Figures bearing this out have just been released by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, following a survey of all banks in the United States. They show that the combined deposits in savings and commercial banks in Rappahannock County reached a total at the end of the year of $3,199,000. It was a marked increase over the amount on deposit two years previously, $2,919,000. This included money in the checking accounts of individuals, partnerships and corporations, $1,295,000, andsav ings accounts of $1,740,000. Interbank transactions made up the difference. Also on hand, locally, was cash in safes and in private vaults and money in people’s nnrkpts The survey is the first that was made in such detail by the FDIC. Somewhat similar studies had been made in the past, every two years, by the Federal Reserve System. The amount of money on deposit is considered a major factor in a community’s economic health. These funds, which are put back into circulation by the banks through loans to business concerns, | to prospective homeowners, to I automobile buyers and others, serve an important function, it is pointed out. As to the $3,199,000 on tap in Rappahannock County, if it were divided equally among the local population, it would ; amount to $639 per capita. By way of comparison, there was $583 per person available two years ago, when the former survey was made. I Savings accounts, especially, have been on the increase in recent months. People have been stashing away a bigger portion of their income than usual. : Nationally, they are putting it away at the rate of $34 billion per year. They are using some of it to reduce their outstanding debt. ; With their credit in good | shape and with their savings above average, they are in a financial position to do some real spending when they feel the time is right. At the moment, however, because of the economic uncertainties, they are scaling down their purchases of big-ticket items. Sperryville Firemen’s annual carnival opened last night and will continue through Saturday night, July 15. A mammoth parade is scheduled for tonight beginning at 7 p.m. Observing preparations on Tuesday at the carnival grounds were Red Pullen, IDavid Nichols, in planes, and Roger Rutherford and Wayne Corbin, standing.

By Miss Diane Brown Summer salads good - when cool. Warm weather is here again and you’ll probably be making more use of foods such as chicken, tuna and egg salad for cold plates and sandwiches. Remember that these delicious salad foods are especially subject to bacteria growth and this could cause food poisoningeven when made in small quantities for the family. To insure proper cooling down from room temperature to reach refrigerator temperature put the salad in small pans and dishes so that it will cool rapidly. Remember don't make up too much salad at a time and serve promptly after taking from the refrigerator. Begin now to preserve flowers for winter beauty. You can preserve the fleeting beauty of your garden’s fresh flowers and have them for year-round display, says Miss Katherine L. Habel, extension house furnishings specialist at Virginia; Tech. A drying agent known as j silica gel allows you to cap-! ture the color and texture of! freshly picked blossoms in two: to eight days. Silica gel is available in commercial form as a product called Flower Dri. Although expensive when first bought, this will be a good permanent investment as it. can be reused many times. „ , ae sure to inspect tne ticav-i ers often during the drying; process so you won’t dry them { too much. As they become! dried, remove to air tight containers until ready to use. You can hurry the process! along by placing the contain-! ers beside radiators or inj sunny windows. Equipment needed: a con-| tainer deep enough to hold! flowers standing up with stem! and head intact, also, with' tight fitting lid; flower and! wire clippers; a soft artist's brush; green floral tape, several weights of floral wire, plastic form, florist’s clay and white glue. You can use silica gel just on the blossons and dry the sprays of leaves and other foliage in glycerine, a less costly material, she added. (Editor’s note: Here is anoth er in a series of articles on; consumer education by Don L. Long of the agricultural eco- j1 nomics department at Virginia Tech.) What are we looking for as we shop - whether it is shop- j ping for food, clothing, appliances, a house or what havei you? I am sure that most of j. us would say, *T want to get !; the most I can for my money.’’ This seems like a straight- " forward answer that you would , Hope Takes Over as New Hwy. Engineer A pony for Janet, new friends for Jimmy, and trains for Wil liam. Daddy’s making nopromises but there’s Hope. Donald B, Hope, former assistant secondary roads engineer for the Virginia Department of Highways in Rich-i mond, officially assumed his new position as Culpeper district engineer July 1. “I know it’s going to be a big job,” says Hope. “And Charles Wiley Kestner is have trouble arguing with. Yet, as you begin to dig a little deeper into what you and I look for as we shop, you begin to see that actually it is a pretty superficial answer. It is fun to take just one item, say meats, and analyze what you are looking for as you shop, [f you are like me, it will change from shopping! trip to shopping trip and even from one meal to another. What I am looking for depends on so many things, things that can change quickly. Weather, amount of money, and family plans are just three of these things, but they will helpi show how our shopping outlook changes. Weather does play a big role in our meat shopping. If it is warm, picnic weather, we like' quick-cooking, grilling meats. For one thing, we prefer to cut down on cooking heat, especially inside the house.' For another, we are more apt to go in for outside, picnictype grilling. The cooler the weather the more likely to look for longer cooking meats barnily plans, too, affect: what we want in meats. For example, cjp jou hpve anyl pba*« for entertainment beT fore you again go shopping? Some research at Louisiana State University sheds some; interesting light on how this1 may affect your shopping.; They found that if you were : entertaining an important male guest you were most likely to want to serve steak. However, if the important guest were a woman, you were more likely to serve chicken. The status meat changed with the situation. Obviously, the amount of money available for meat also affects what you are looking for as you shop. If meat money is tight (maybe as a result of those entertainment plans) you may be most interested in the most nutrition for your money. If things aren’t quite so tight, you may want more status meats. What you look for in economic terms can change quickly and drastically. So, we are looking for value is we shop - for meat, for cither foods, for clothing, for appliances, or any other purchase. Yet, there are many :hings we include in that term ’‘value." These things - weather, money available and family plans --differ from one amily to another and from one ime to another. It is a never ending job keeping our personal definition of “value" up-toiate. going to be a tough man to follow.* K.estner, who retired after more than 40 years with the Depar tment, had been district engineer a t Culpeper since 195'0. 1 “The C ulpeper district takes in a lot of territory; there’s a lot or highway work now ; going on throughout the area and ther e are going to be a lot of new highway projects coming up,* says Hope. The counties included in tl»e Culpeper district are Culpeper, Orange, Madison Albemarle, Greene, Fluvanna, Fauquier, Rappahannock, Loudoun, Fairfax, Arlington, Prince William, and Louisa. ; Constr uction now under way i in the district totals almost $48 mil lion--including the sophisticated development of the Shirley Highway. “I realize the district en- \ gineer’s; position involved a lot of responsibility, and I just> hope I’m equal to it,* says Hope. Pulling up stakes, breaking ties and moving to another part I of the Estate has been made a lot easier for Hope because of his family's attitude. “I was really surprised that they were so enthused,* he says. Hope is married to the former Sylvia Joy Magee of Deland, Fla.- and they are the parents of four sons and one daughter. The oldest son, j Donald, is married and is now j working in the Department's! central office while attending; S m i t h d e a 1-Massey Busi-i ness College in Richmond. David, 19, has just finished school at Augusta Military! Academy; William is 16, Jim*; my 13 and Janet 10. “Janet wants a pony,” notes! Hope. “And she’s aware that there are a lot of horses around Culpeper. We haven’t told her she can have one, but we’ll just have to wait and see. “Jir-nmy likes trains and he’s | very conscious of the fact that the Southern Railway has a ■ train through Culpeper.” Although each member of the Hope family has varied individual interests, there is a close relationship. “We don’t concentrate on one part icular fam ily pastime,” says Hope. “I guess a family this size| makes that difficult. How-, all like to swim an® let ■ skate.” | Hope, himself, enjoys play-: in>g golf. He also admits to be ing an avid specror sportsm an. j Born in Bangor, Mich., in 19 20, Hope says his arrival in Virginia was “Just one of those things.” He received his bachelor of science degree in civi). engineering firom Purdue University and learned about 'the Virginia Depiartment of H ighway’s graduate training program while working on a highway research [ jrogram. Prior to completion of his undergraduate work at Purdue, Hope served in the naval air corps during World War II. He thevi returned to college and joined the Department’s graduate engineer training program in 1947. Hope has served as assist ant resident engineer at Wise and as a resident engineejr at Christiaesburg, Norfolk and Lebanon. He was promoted to assistant secondary roads engineer in February, 1963., Although highway duties take! much of his time, Hope is active in community affairs, j In Richmond, he was a member of a neighborhood civic associ ation, a cotillion club and tlle Masons.

Income Tax Returns Filed on Increase According to the records of he Internal Revenue Service Center in Philadelphia, 1,494, 738 Virginia taxpayers filed Federal individual income tax returns from January tlirough May, 1967. This is an increase of 5.4 percent over the number of returns filed during the same jeriod in 1966, James p. Boyle District Director of Internal Revenue for Virginia, saidtoiay. Refunds totaling $123,665, 740.44 have been made to X)2,564 Virginians since the irst of the year for an average )f $137.01 per refund. The IRS Serv ice Center in Philadelphia which processes :he Federal ta.x returns for Virginia and fc-ur other states n the Mid-Atlantic Region has received 10,686,682 returns vhich is an increase of three percent over the 1966 filing jeriod.

Coins Minted to Relieve Shortage The United States Mint has witnessed fire, earthquake, }.nd rebellion, but it almost crumbled before the voracious parking meter. The demands of meters and vending machines helped to create severe coin shortages in the 1960’s. The situation was so bad in 1961 that a Connecticut bank was reduced to advertising in trade journals for any spare pennies that neighboring banks might part with. The Mint increased production and took other steps to meet the demand for small change, the National Geographic Society says. The San Francisco branch mint, closed in 1955, was reopened after 10 years to coin nickels and pennies. The historic facility still is hard at work, turning out coins of all denominations. Old No. o back on jod An 89-year-old coin press preserved in the Nevada State Museum in Carson City was shipped back to work at the Denver mint in 1964. Within a month, Old No. 5 was stamping out coins. The museumhoused in a former mint building— is patiently awaiting the return of its prize exhibit. In the calendar year 1966, the main mint in Philadelphia and the two branches in Denver and San Francisco turned out a record 9.5 billion coins. The coin shortage was over. The Mint had coped with the crisis without resorting to measures employed early in its history. Then the makeshift copper supply came from nails, kettles, and bands from powder kegs. In 1792, Congressauthorized the first United States Mint to be built in Philadelphia. The act establishing the mint speci fied the death penalty for officers or employees who debased, reduced the weight of, or stole coins. The mint filled an urgent need, for as George Washington wrote, “Without a coinage...a man must travel witha pair of scales in his pocket or run the risk of receiving gold at one-fourth less than it counts." Tradition says that Washington himself contributed his personal tableware :or the “half-dimes" that were the United States Mint’s first coins. Confederates Seized Mint In 1838, branch mints were started in Charlotte, North Carolina; Dahlonega, Georgia; and New Orleans. The Civil War closed the first two. The Confederates ran the New Orleans mint until the city fell to Northern forces in 1862. The New Orleans „ mint re opened in 10/y anu ciosea again in 1909. The California gold rush led to the establishment of the San Francisco mint in 1854. Prospectors with pokes of gold dust and nuggets were its best customers. In four years, the San Francisco mint produced more gold coins than all United States mints had turned out' before the discovery of gold in California. The second San Francisco mint building withstood the 1906 earthquake and fires. The $200 million in currency and specie stored in its vaults helped the city revive business after the disaster. A mint operated in Carson City from 1870 to 1893 for the convenience of nearby silver miners. The coin most^in demand was a 20-centpiece— it bought two shots of whisky in mining towns. The Denver mint was established in 1906. The main Philadelphia mint, now housed in a 1901 building, will move into a modern new home late in 1968. Automated production lines will spew out 10,000 coins a minute—enough for the hungriest parking meters. . | Health Posters Mailed This week the Tuberculosis land Health Association of Northern Virginia is mailing monthly health posters and leaflets to approximately 90 ^industries in the area. The topic deals with those troublesome allergic diseases asthma and hay fever, about which medical science has learned a lot. “Don’t experiment with drugs or medicines you may have heard about. In dealing with allergies, what’s good for another could be harmful to you." “Do let a doctor prescribe your treatment.'It can make the difference between misery and comfort.” Henry A. Lowry, President of the Tuberculosis and Health Association of Northern Virginia, says, “doctors can now identify many of the substances that cause the unpleasant sneezing and other effects of hay fever, the strangled, breathing and coughing of asthma. Through diet control, injections and in other ways they can bring sub(Stantial relief and often effect ia cure.” Historical Society and Library Give Thanks The Rappahannock Historical Society and the Rappahannock Library wish to express their appreciation to all ot those who contributed to t h e success of the July 4th pro; gram.

Pigs Are Faithful Servants to Man * Like man's best friend, pigs have been faithful servants and good companions since the Stone Age. The popular image of a hog wallowing in mud, grunting at the trough, and snoring in the sun does it less than justice. Besides being superbly effi cient meat factories, the versa tile animals have snuffled truf fles, flushed game, helped win the West, paid off countless mortgages, and even entertained royalty. When Louis XI was down in the dumps, nothing could cheer him up faster than a troupe of gaily garbed little French pigs dancing to bagpipe music (That was nearly five centures before Walt Disney.) Miniature Pigs The latest porcine contribu tion to human welfare is a pig bred solely for medical research, the National Geo graphic Society says. The pig resembles man in anatomical structure, physiological processes, and biochemistry, but conventional breeds are too large for laboratories. The miniature and all other domestic species are descend ed from wild pigs that roamed from Europe to eastern Asia in prehistoric times. By the time of the New Stone Age, man had domesticated ^lne. Pigs wersk^Btprl?13)'* ly as scavengers until some one discovered that the flesh was good to eat. Long after the cave man gnawed his first pork chop, pigs still were performing a variety of jobs. In ancient Egypt, pigs were used to tread seed into the ground and thresh grain. Romans swore treaties by touching swords on a pig. Inhabitants of the New For est Jn medieval England were forbidden to keep hunting dogs. But poachers trained pigs to point and retrieve snipe, partridges, rabbits, and other game. Traihed hogs with sens! tive nose6 still sniff out the delicious underground fungi called truffles in southern France. Source of Meat Pigs are most valued, how ever, as quick, reliable sources of meat. They store 35 percent of the energy In their food. In less than four months, a sow can produce a litter of eight or more piglets. The young are ready for market in just six months. Queen Isabella, who enjoyed hunting wild boars, supposed ly encouraged Columbus to take hogs on his second voyage to the New World. Liberated in Cuba and later the mainland, the pig6flourish ed. These early “woods hogs" were admirably suited to go westward with pioneers. The energetic, self-reliant razor backs foraged for roots, i jiyornst b^ecb; mast, insects.

Acontemporary account described them: •They will go a distance from a fence, take a run, and leap through the rails three or four feet from the ground, turning themselves sidewise. These hogs suffer hardships no other animal could endure." The woods hog found the pro mised land in the midwestern corn belt. A rich corn dieted the wiry pig into the enormously fat “lard hog." With increased demand for lean hams and bacon, the lard hog was, in turn, streamlined. Whatever the size, pigs mean ready money for American farmers.

Charles E. Clear, director of educational research for the Department, pointed out that the report was based on salary contracts for instructional per sonnel on October 15,1966, and i emphasized that the averages ; may vary from salaries actual I ly paid. “For example," he [added, “some individuals may !leave during the school year Sand be replaced by persons on a different salary level because of differences in quali ifications and experience." ] Figures for the average i salaries actually paid for ! teaching and other instruc tional positions will not be 1 available until after the end of the current fiscal year, June 30.

The average contract salary for elementary school teachers was $5,976 in 1966-67 compared to $5,545 in 1965-66, arid for secondary school teachers it was $6,423 and $5,939 respectively. Clear sa*id that a possible rea son for this variance was that the high school teachers tend ed to have more advanced college degrees and more experience andweretherefore higher on the salary scales. About 400 persons listed as teaching in “combined” schools were not included in the elementary and secondary averages, Clear noted. Contract salaries for ele mentary principals increased from an average of $8,166 in 1965- 66 to $8,974 in 1966-67 and for elementary assistant principals from $7,131 to *7,841, the report disclosed.

Security Notes The Social Security program is changing rapidly. Disability benefits have been paid under the program since 1956. Benefits were first payable to disabled persons age 50 or over. This requirement was later removed and benefits are now payable to disabled workers regardless of age so long as the requirements are met. Mrs. Hazel F. Daly of the Winchester, Virginia Social Security Office in discussing the changes brought about by the 1965 Amendments emphasized that there were two important changes in the disability program. These changes, she said provide for the payment of disability bene fits to workers who-are temporarily (12 months or more) disabled, and also permits persons age 62-65 to apply for disability benefits even though they are already receiving a retirement benefit at a reduced rate. Provision was also made for a person to receive reduced benefits while a decision is being made on his disability claim. She further explained that it is possible, should a person become disabled, to switch over to disability benefits be tween age 62 and 65 even if he is already receiving reduced retirement benefits. He must meet the earnings requirement and this change should only be made if the disability benefit is larger than the retirement benefit. When a person changes from retire ment to disability benefits, Mrs. Daly continued, his disability benefits are reduced by the number of months he was paid retirement benefits before becoming entitled to disability benefits. If a person is disabled when he files for retirement benefits at age 62, he should inquire about the posibility of filing for disability benefits at the same time she emphasized. The reduced retirement benefits may be paid while a disabi lity decision is being made. If his entitlement to disability benefits is later than the month he is entitled to retirement benefits, he may be paid reduced retirement benefits dur ing the waiting period. In discussing these changes Mrs. Daly said that many peo pie are unaware of these amendments to the law. She urges all persons who feel that they could benefit from these changes, to contact the Winchester Social Secur ity Office located at 20 S. Cameron St. The telephone number is 667-1511.

FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover said this substantial upsurge in the Nation's crime was reflected in all Crime Index offenses. Crimes of violence, as a group, recorded a 21 percent increase with murder up 23 percent, forcible rape 8 percent, robbery 32 percent, and aggravated assault 15 percent. The group of crimes against property rose 20 percent, with burglary up 21 percent, larceny $50 and over in value 18 percent, and auto theft 20 percent. According to the FBI Director, the group of cities with 100,000 or more inhabit ants had an overall 20 percent increase. Crime in suburban communities rose 22 percent on the average, and the rural areas were up 16 percent. The effect of the Nation's crime increase was felt in all geographic regions. Mr. Hoover noted that the regional trends were consistent with the Western States up 21 per cent, followed by the North Central and Southern States up 20 percent each, and the Northeastern States up 18 per «ent. All crime classifications recorded increases in the four geographical regions. « In making thesefiguresavail able, the FBI Director called attention to the unusually sharp percentage increase in the crime of robbery.
