In comparison, the entire month of July 1966 saw only .91 of an inch. Gardens, fields and trees are flourishing but continual showers are interfering with grain harvest. Prospects for a good apple harvest in Rappahannock are excellent. This county is reported to have about the best crop in the state. Reports from Clarke and Frederick, close by, predict from 70 to 85 per cent harvest. Sperryville Pedestrian Is First Traffic^ Fatality of Year in Rappahannock i Rappahannock County registered its first fatal traffic victim of this calendar year early Sunday morning. Samuel Burnam Atkins, 68, of Sperryville died in Culpeper Sunday of injuries sustained an hour and a half earlier on Route 211 in Sperryville.

NEW YORK, July 14 - Rappahannock County's economy made progress' on all fronts during the past year, according to a national business report, just released. The big push behind the advance w>as from local consumers, who had more than the usual amount of spending money at their disposal. And spend it they did, across the board, for all kinds of goods and services. The facts and figures are documented in a voluminous report, entitled “Survey of Buying Power," compiled and copyrighted by Sales Management. It presents data on income and spending for every section of the country. Irf Rappahannock County, it shows, earnings were at a high level during the year. Local residents had a net, spendable income, after payment. of their personal taxes, of $6,956,000, exceeding the 1965 total of $6,517,000. How much this amounted to, on a family basis, was found by dividing the income by the number of local households Per household, it averaged out to $4,969, an increase over the previous year’s $4,655. How was this money used? The discretionary part of itthe part remaining after the basic living expenses were taken care of--was spent more freely than usual. As a result, retail business was good in the area. Local merchants ended up with a sales total of $2,234,000, bettering the previous year’s $2,184,000. The survey rates each community, on the basis of various indicators, to show the relationship between the amount of retail business actually being done and the estimated full (Continued on Page 4) - 1 Supervisors Schedule Public Hearing On Compulsory School Attendance A special meeting of the Rap pahannock County Board of Supervisors was held Monday, July 17 and the primary topic was a compulsory school attendance law for the county. The Rappahannock County School Board had recommend ed by resolution to the Board of Supervisors of the county that a compulsory school attendance law be adopted. The following ordinance has been proposed for adoption at the Apgust meeting of the Supervisors on Friday the 4th. Compulsory school attenaance--Be it ordained by the Board of Supervisors of Rappahannock County, Virginia that Title 22, Chapter 12, Article 4 (Section 22-275.1 through Section 22-275.25) of the 1950 Code of Virginia, as amended, providing for the compulsory attendance of children between the ages of seven and sixteen in the schools specified in said Act, shall from and after September 1, 1967, be in full force and effect within the County of Rappahannock, Virginia. I his ordinance will be pertinent to children in the future and is in no way intended to correct situations of the past. In substance, if there is a child 12 years of age who has never been to school, he or ‘she will not be forced to enter a first grade class with six or seven year olds. This Iwould make an impossible situation for both students and teacher alike. However, if ordinance is adopted, a seven year old child who is not enrolled in school the first of the 67-68 term must be enrolled or good cause shown by parents why he or she is not. A public hearing on the proposed ordinance will be held at the regular meeting of the Board of Supervisors on August 4. Following the Fire.Auxiliary Meets* The Amissville Ladies Auxiliary held its regular July meeting last week with 14 members present. Plans for the annual carnival scheduled for August 9 through 12 were formulated. A White Elephant stand will be a feature of the carnival so anyone who has an item which they would like to donate may contact Mrs. Ralph H. Rowzie or Mrs. Mary Suter. hearing the Board will act on the legislation. Other business discussed was the installation of flashing lights on Route 211 at Rappahan nock County High School. The local Jaycee group plans to purchase the lights, if the coun ty will install them. J. B. Willis, representing the Jaycees, had secured an estimate of installation costs of $325. No concrete action was taken at this time. Screen and storm doors for the courthouse were also discussed and an estimate was prt sented the Borad. However, further estimates were requested before action will be taken. Fire Assn. Meets The Rappahannock County Firemen’s Association will meet F riday, July 21 at Trinity Episcopal Parish Hall, Washington, Va. at 7:30 p. m. with the Washington Fire Company as host.

(Editor’s note: Here is another in a series on consumer education by Don Long of the agricultural economics department at Virginia Tech.) Occasionally someone comes up to me and says, “Look at so and so! He should be rolling in money! Afterall, his wife works!" Well, it doesn’t always work out quite that simply. Sometimes, it’s a real revelation for a family to sit down and figure out just how much the wife's working actually brings in. For example, and it’s always dangerous to use just one example, a neighbor of mine recently did just this. His wife worked outside the home. She had a pretty good job for the area, too, making about $100 a week. They should have been rolling in money, shouldn’t they? For some reason, though, they weren’t, and they wonder i ed why. Not only that; they jdecided to find out. They beIgan to do some figuring. As I they did, they came up with I some unexpected and interest ing facts. First of all, they found thatj state and federal income taxes; immediately took a fourth of! that $100. Social security and miscellaneous decuctions, took another five per cent, making 30 Per cent of that ] $100 she never saw. The $100 was down to $70 before she' I got a cent she could call her} own. This family happened t o j have two pre-school children] so they had to have someone] to take care of them. They] were among the fortunate ones they had found someone to i come in and stay with them for I j $ 10 a week (plus food, plus soft! 'drinks, plus other fringes).; i Take $10 a week from the! ] $70, and she now had $60 per ; week. ] Nor did the costs end here. ! She. drove back and forth to ]work, a distance of 15 miles i a day or 75 miles a week., !lt cost at least 10 cents a ! mile or about $7 a week to run the castPJpr clqjhing coys were higher; ^he flfmily f<#>d bill was higher because they ate out more often and they ate more prepared foods at home; they had a woman in' to help clean house each week. After all the figuring, this particular family found the wife, out of a $100 a week income, actually made a net contribution to the family income of about $42 a week. It was quite a shocker to them. They really had figured itwasmuch higher than that and had beer spending with that in mind. They had learned that, while a wife working may add to the LOW, LOW PRICES PAUL’S Maytag Front Royal, Va. family income, the added amount may very well be leas than believed. Now, the quesV tion arose: Was this much lower income than believed worth the time, effort, and loss of family ties and flexfr bility involved in getting this income? This meant more pencil work and a good look at the family goals and values. Special Program At Sunday Vespers Ten years ago this month the Princeton (New Jersey) seminary Choir gave a neverto-be-forgotten musical program, interspersed with brief comments, on the lawn of the Luray Singing Tower.

Study Made of Sick School Absentees An absentee study was conducted during the 1966-67 school year in the John Kerr School, Winchester, to determine what kinds of sickness kept children at home most often. Colds, flu and other respiratory diseases account ed for 52% of all reasons for absence. This is a little lower than the national figure of 55% The John Kerr Schook, which has an enrollment of 352 pupils, was chosen for this study as it is representative of a wide socio-economic range. Tabulations made by the Tuberculosis and Health Association of Northern Virginia revealed that 76% of the children accounted for all abser> teeism, indicating that 24% of the students had perfect attendance. A doctor was consulted for 36% of the illness The average length of each absence was 1.86 days and the percentage of accumulated time lost from school was only 1.83%. Apparently, there was no discernible relationship between absenteeism and the weather and fluctuations in temperature. To the parents who supplied the above information, the Tuberculosis and Health Asso ciation of Northern Virginia wishes to express grateful appreciation. It is planned that additional1 encouragement will be offered pupils and parents to improve health habits wherever: possible during the next school year. The study in this school is an indication that school nurses and educators, using all available means, have made a strong impression on this group of children. The tuberculosisassociation has been supplying Health Adventures which stess good habits to all primary children in Winchester and Frederick schools for more than ten years.

Snead entertained Saturday at Fairleaata Bride’s Shower and Luncheon honoring Miss Susan Schaefer of Sperryville whose marriage to Edwin Francis Updike of Washington will take place July 29. Calf Vaccination Age Lowered to 3 Mos. The minimum age for vaccinating heifer calves against brucellosis has been lowered from four to three months, the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Commerce an nounces. “It is most important that producers take note of this lowering of the vaccinating age, since it is a departure from previous recommendations,* said Dr. George B. Estes, assistant 6tate veterinarian. “For well over 20 years we have recommended vaccinating between four and eight months of age.* The U. S. Department of Agriculture has approved, and recommends, the lowering of the brucellosis vaccination age from four to three months In so doing, USD A notes that recent research reveals that the resistance induced in heifer calves vaccinated at three months of age with Strain 19 is equivalent to that in heifers vaccinated at an older age. Also, they find calves treated at three months of age are less likely to carry over a suspicious or positive vaccination reaction that can confuse the brucellosis test. Over 100,000 head of cattle are vaccinated yearly in Virginia for brucellosis in an effort to wipe out this costly livestock disease. The vac cine used must be approved by USDA’s animal health division and administered under the supervision of a federal or state veterinary official. At present over threefourths of the counties in Virginia are certified as brucel losis free. Rappahannock is among these counties being free. The goal of the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Commerce, cooperating with L'SDA, is to make the entire state brucellosis free by December 31, 1968. ’67 Wheat Certificate Payments Scheduled Wheat farmers participating! in the 1967 wheat program will j begin getting program pay-j ments soon, H. S. Barksdale, Chairman, Agricultural Sta-! bilization and Conservation; County Committee, said today. The payments in Rappahannock County will be made to about 20 farmers and will total around $6,680. By law, program participants are guaranteed 100 per cent of parity for their share of the wheat used for domes:ic food. The certificates for 1967-crop wheat will be valued at $1.36 per bushel, compared with $1.32 a bushel for the 1966 wheat crop. This represents the d if f er enc e between parity as of July 1 ($2.61 per bushel) and the 1967-crop national average loan rate of $1.25 per bushel. The certificate payments to farmers are based on the projected production on 35 per cent of the 1967 wheat acreage allotments. The certificate payments add substantially to the income farmers receive from marketing their 1967 wheat For all your farm lubrication needs I Wort! prompt delivery.; v assurance that you'ro getting tho right lubricants for tfw best performance of your farm macNneryf Then cal on mol I’ve got a complete line of famous Mobil o8» and greases... aH the latest Information on Hie lubrication needs of your machinery and equipment.

Nationally, the certificate pay ments under the 1967 program will be made toapproxi-r, mately 822,000 participating farmers and they will total in excess of $700 million. When related to the total production on the 57.4 million acres of allotment on participating farms (84 per cent of the 1967 national allotment), the $700 million in certificate payments reflects an income of at least 47 cents on each'^bushel produced by participants. The total average return per bushel will depend on prices farmers receive in the market from their 1967 crop. The Chairman explained that an individual farmer participating in the wheat program can determine his total return per bushel for wheat by dividing his certificate payment by his total production to get an average per-bushel payment. By adding this to the price^he receives in the market, he can find his return per bushel. Millers and others purchase wheat marketing certificates at 75 cents per bushel to cover the quantities of wheat processed for domestic food use. The remainder of the certificate payment is made up by the Government. WATCH OUT Drive Defensively! Just being in the right isn't enough. Nearly half the drivers in fatal collisions are in the right.

Dovey Rail Seasons Extended to 70 Days A split dove season totalling 70 half days of shooting and paralleling last year’s dates was selected by the Virginia Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries July 12, according to Executive Director Chester F. Phelps. The choice of season dates within the framework supplied by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service are September 16 through November 4, and December 18 through January 6. Shooting hours will remain noon until sunset, standard time, each day. The bag limit of 12 daily and 24 in possession is the same as that in effect last season. The rail season was set to open September 15, a Friday preceding a period of high tides, and end on Thanksgiving Day, November 23. The bag limits on rails were liberalized with hunters allowed 15 clapper and king rails daily, plus 15 sora, Virginia and yellow rail6. In practice, it won’t be much different from last years’s limit of 15 combined since the clapper and king inhabit salt marshes and the others are found in freshwater marsh areas. Gallinules, a coot-like bird, were not included with the rail season as they have been in past years.

Daly, social security district manager In Winches ter reported today. 672 were older people, she said, receiving benefits as retired workers, the wives and husbands of retired workers and as the surviving widows or aged dependent parents of workers who have died. “But social security is not just for older people," Mrs. Daly pointed out. 115 young widows and children in the| Rappahannock County area were receiving benefits amounting to $4891. at the end of December. 61 disabled work ers and dependents were re^ ceiving benefits at a monthly rate of $3819. Practically every young family in this area has survivors protection under social security that can be worth j $75,000 or more, and equally valuable disability insurance protection." The average work er, she said, can expect to j collect more than the value ! of his social security tax con,1 tributions just in the benefits [payable to him and his wife in retirement. If he does not live to retirement, his family ; stands to collect far more than the contributions he has paid; and the same will be true if he should become totak ly disabled for work before 65. Monthly payments to the fami ly of a worker who dies, leaving 2 or more children, can range from $66 to $368 a. month, depending on the worker's average earnings under social security. Social security survivors benefits* Mrs. Daly said, can be paid to the family of a young man who has worked and paid social » security contributions for as little as a year and a half during the three years before his death. Benefits to the mother and children continue until the youngest child reaches 18, or indefinitely, if the child has a disability which began before his 18th birthday and makes it impossible for him to work and become selfsupporting.

Under the schedule of taxes in the present social security law even the group of young workers who will start work in 1Q"4 after the maximum tax rates for old-age, survivors and disability insurance go into effect, will pay only about 80 to 85 per cent of the value of their potential benefits. The matching contributions paid by their employers will account for the other 15 to 20per cent. .Over a working lifetime of 45 years, ending with his re tirement at 65 in the year 2019, a young worker who earned the top amount covered by social security in every year would contribute a total of $10, 318 toward his retire ment protection. Adding interest, compounded at 3-3/4 per cent, the value of the worker’s contributions at age 65 would be $26,412. The value of the benefits payable to him and his wife in retirement, assuming average life expectancy, would be $32,853, 20 per cent more than the value of his total social security contributions. “These calculations," Mrs. Daly said, “are based on an assumption that the law will not be changed at all during the young worker’s lifetime.

Rise In Virginia Traffic Deaths Seen Richmond, Va.With 525 Virginia traffic deaths for the first half of 1967 comparing badly with the 483 for the same; period of 1966, Colonel C. W. Woodson, jr., Chairman of the Governor’s Highway Safety Committee and Superintendent of State Police, today prej dieted not only the seventh \ consecutive year in whicb such deaths have increasedj but the highest annual toll ever recorded. “Only a miracle," he said, “can save us from another annua1 increase and it Seems certain that the all time high record of 1,110 deaths in 1941 will be topped." Here, he noted that the first six months of 1941 saw 463 deaths. Traffic volumes for the period were up approximately 7.5 percent and deaths of pedestrians rose from 67 during the first half of 1966 to 93 this year. For the first five months of this year, Virginia’s rate of deaths per each 100 million miles of travel was 5,5 while the national average was 5.1. Colonel Woodson continued in saying that the second half of 1967 was off to a bad start indeed with 25 deaths during the long Fourth of July weekend. Memorial Day weekend this year saw 20 deaths. All 1967 statistics, he said, are subject to slight upward revisions occasioned by late reports or deaths of persons now carried as injured, since such deaths revert to the date of injury for statistical purposes.

The emergency medical identification card should note special problems that need immediate attention in an emergency or that could cause an emergency. For example, diabetics must be identified so that a person in diabetic coma will get proper treatment promptly and needed doses of insulin will not be overlooked during treatment for injury. The need for certain medicines must be known. Heart patients taking drugs to prevent blood clots may bleed profusely if injured unless they receive special care. Other people are sensitive to certain drugs and must never take them. Epileptics could be saved much trouble and unnecessary hospitalization if they carried a card indicating that they may have seizures.

Phone ME-5-3556 Front Royal, Va. E Daily Meditation Read Luke 2:41:52 .,J£bus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man. (Luke 2:52) It was a warm afternoon. As I ironed in the kitchen, my four lively sons’ peaceful playing soon erupted into violent quarreling. The oldest boy raced into the hot kitchen, crying, “The twins hit mej" “But, Jeffrey," I comforted him, “the Bible tells us to *turn the other cheek.’” “They didn’t hit me on the cheek," he protested. I had to laugh, as I recalled childhood memories of the battles I used to have with my own twin brother John. I remembered how my mother used to tell ys, when we quarreled, that we should try to grow like the youthful Jesus. Laying my ironing aside, I called in my other boys, Bruc$ Bradley, and Jonathan. I said to them, “You may not understand these words I am going to read to you, but you will as you grow up." Then I read the story of Jesus in the Temple—the only words we have about Him as a boy. Now six years later, the boys to be discovering for themselves that there is no ifiner yardstick for a young Irnan to measure his own jgjrowth by than these words of our text. PRAYER: Our Heavenly Father, we thank Thee for our homes and the high privilege of living the gospel there. Guide us that we become more like the; Master, in whose name we pray. Amen.

Security Notes l Last Friday evening I was watching the All Star Little League baseball game. It was the last inning; the score was tied. My team had a man on 3rd and two men were out. Qur batter hit a line drive to the short stop; he dropped the ball; the batter was safe; the run scored and the game was over. i That set me to thinking-I j wonder how many times we in Social Security drop the ball. ! We drop the ball every time a person retires and does not get his social security benefit check on time-(that is when he retires). This doesn’t mean the game is over, that check Vjfill come sometime-but i when? | You can make sure the ball [ill not dropped when you retire. Just follow this advice[fujuire Before You Retire. When you consider retiring, contact your social security representative, let him give you the facts about social security. Then, when you decide to retire, your first check will be there on cime. There is one other thinejeven though you are working, if you are over 65, or close tp 65, you should see your social security representative. There is always the possibility that you have dropped the ball-you may be entitled to some of your social security benefits now, You can hit a home run-Inquire Before You Retire. !

Arlington: Bedroom of Nation’s Capitol One of the loveliest views from the Nation’s Capitol is that of Arlington, Virginia, spreading out its greenery across the Potomac River. Whether you are standing across the Potomac at the Lincoln Memorial, Jefferson Memorial or on a hill in historic Georgetown, it is a sight of serenity and beauty. No more than 10 minutes away from the White House and the Capitol, Arlington is closer to Washington land marks than most of the residential area within the city. Arlington also serves as the half-way point between Washington and many of the sights in Northern Virginia such as Mount Vernon, Wood lawn, Gunston Hall, Dulles International Airport and the Central Intelligence Agency. Within the confines of Arlington are many of the sights that people expect to see when they visit Washington. These include the Iwo Jima Memorial of World War II which depicts the famous raising of the flag by U. S. Marines; Fort Meyer which had its beginnings in 1863; various Civil War battlefields; The Tombs of the Unknowns in Arlington Mational Cemetery; the Pentagon where 27,000 persons are smployed by the Department of Defense in a building twice the size of Chicago’s Merchan dise Mart; the Custis-Lee Mansion and the grave of the late President John F. Kennedy. Arlington in many ways is an organic part of our Na:ion’s Capitol. In fact, it is called the “bedroom of Washington* since tens of thousands of people who work in the District of Columbia live in Arlington. Arlington provides a pleasant base for a tour of Northern Virginia and Washington, D. C. Vets Corner Editor's Note; Below are authoritative answers by the Veterans Administration to some of the many current ques tions from former servicemen and their families. Further information on veterans benefits may be obtained at any VA office. Q--What insurance coverage is available to men now in service? A--Every man now in service is automatically covered with $10,000 SGLI at a cost of $2.00 per month which is deducted from his pay. He can, upon written request to the military, reduce this to $3,000 coverage, or refuse coverage. Q--Why did I not receive my pension check on March 1, 1967? A—Your payment was suspended on February 1, 1967 because you failed to return your income questionnaire. Payment of pension is based on a veteran’s income from other sources and the number of dependents. This annual report is required in order to ascertain the correct amount of payment, if any, due. Q--Is my allowance paid for funeral expenses for a person who has had military service? A--An allowance of $250 is paid toward the burial expense of any person who had other than dishonorable wartime military service, or who had a service incurred disability resulting from any military service. This expense is not payable if funeral expenses are met from sources other than members of the immediate family, i.e., if they buy fraternal organization burial insurance, etc. An additional allowance for transportation of the body is allowed if the eligible veteran died in a VA hospital.

Fires of Love Many types of gems have been used in engagement rings but the diamond has come to be the most popular. An old superstition tells that the diamond’s sparkle originated in the alchemists’ fires of love, says World Book Encyclopedia. Third Finger, Left Hand The wedding ring is usually worn on the third finger of the left hand, World Book Encyclopedia notes, because many people once thought a vein or nerve in this finger ran directly to the heart.
