Xmas Seals Make Research Possible “Last year's Christmas Seal Campaign made possible two major research grants to faculty members of the Medical College of Virginia this year.Mrs. Vernon Mills, Rappahannock County Christmas Seal Chairman said. One project is to study the metabolic functions of lungs to determine how oxygen is used. The other is to study the role of macrophages in resistance to tuberculosis. Dr. Sami Said, one researcher, told a reporter that “Until recently the lung was thought of as an organ that was simply concerned with the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. This is very important, but it’s becoming increaS" ingly apparent that the lung is also very active in metabolism . . . lung tissue contains at least oneor twochemicals that can affect the blood pressure.“ “Only two months ago we found that the intravenous injections of small amounts of huid extracts of lung producted drastic changes in the olood pressure, in the vessels of the lung and the rest of the body,- he said. “More research and education are needed,- said the chairman, and reported that contributions to date are $400.00 against the goal of $1000.00. | Fire and Rescue I Squad Notes The Flint Hill Rescue Sqliad took Robert Pullen to the University of Virginia Hospital on Saturday.

Board of Supervisors Approves Community College Support Friday Support of the proposed Northwestern Community Cot lege to be established in a 7county area which includes Rappahannock was the main business on the agenda at the meeting Friday of the Board of Supervisors when they convened at the courthouse in Washington. E. T. Bromfield of Front Royal, chairman of the steering committee working toward the establishment of such an institution, spoke at the meet mg. Rappahannock is one of 7 counties in area 15 which includes Page, Fauquier, Clarke Frederick, Shenandoah, Warren and the city of Winchester. Legislation of the General Assembly in 1964 provided for the community college program which primarily concerned academic studies. In 1966 legislation was broadened to include technical training especially needed in rural areas, so both are incorporated into the program of the two year colleges. Mr. Bromfield explained the initial requirements and outlay, as a one time deal. The local area (the 7 counties) is required to provide a site with building, water and sewage facilities. After the establish ment ot tne college, it is operated by the state. The steering committee, with George H. Davis, Jr. as Rappahannock's representative, is making recommendations to the state on the possible locations in area 15 suitable and available for the college. No concrete figures are available at present, but from possible sites viewed, the initial cost to Rappahannock is estimated at $12,000, or 4.1%. This is based on student population. Also speaking about the college was Rappahannock Superintendent of Schools O. A. Norton who’ felt that we are' at present training all “Chiefs and not enough “Indians" and the community college program is planned to eliminate :his. A 2-year technical course would prepare many to step into the increasing number of jobs which require additional schooling after high school. After attending a community college, a student may transfer to a 4-year college if he prefers. The Board voted to participate in the program provided it is located within 45 miles or 45 minutes of Rappahannock; that the maximum investment would be $12,000 and that Rappahannock would be assured a minimum of 4.1% attendance priority. The Rev. Charles Glaenzer was selected as an alternate representative on the steering committee. O. A. Norton filed a final ■ * m m report on the addition to Rap pahannock County High School Total cost of the wing was $158,249.45 With $156,750.00 covered by the loan from the Literary Fund. Furniture and fixtures as student and teachers desks, book shelves and library furniture may not be purchased with the loan funds. Judge T. C. Lea asked that the Board send a letter to the Department of State Police requesting that an additional trooper be assigned to Rappahannock County. Up until this time a shortage of personnel has made this impossible, but now more men are available to fill the vacancies. A resolution was approved concerning the long tenure of A. H. Buckner who has resigned as Board memberfrom Hawthorne District. It will be found inside. Current bills were approved for payment and several animal claims paid before adjournment. Senior Girls Take Homemakers Test Senior class girls in the high school here will be among more thana half million others in approximately 15,000 high schools across the country who participated Tuesday, December 5, in a written knowledge and attitude test touching on all phases of homemaking. One of the girls will go on to merit a $5,000 college scholarship as Betty Crocker All-American Homemaker of Tomorrow. National runnersup will be granted $4,000, $3,000, and $2,000 scholarships, respectively. State winners will be awarded $1,500 scholarships with state runners-up receiving $500grants, dinners in each local high school will be presented specially designed silver charms and will have their test papers entered in state competition. lhe girls who took the tesi will be entrants in the 1968 Betty Crocker Search for the American Homemaker of Tomorrow, sponsored by General Mills, Inc. Next spring, state Betty Crocker Search winners,each accompanied by a school advisor, will enjoy an expensepaid educational tour of historical shrines in Washington, D.C., and Colonial Williamsburg. Then national winners will be announced at a dinner at Minneapolis, Minn., General Mills^ headquarters city. Judging for national honors is based on original test scores plus personal observation and interviews while the jgirls are on tour. After eleven inches of snow fell in Washington, Va. on Thursday the sun beamed down Friday morning to begin a quick dispersal of the thick white layers. The Courthouse scene above greeted Supervisors as they arrived for the December meeting. Saturday was mostly cloudy with rain that night, and Sunday was pleasant most of thgi day. As much as 17 inches of snow was reported unofficially in one area. Panthers Courtmartial Mt.

C. Compton announced recently. /aii du^uunuu^ iui uit: yt/ai ending June 30 showed that 313 farmers in the state obtained loans from the U. S. Department of Agriculture agency to continue operations damaged by drought and freezes. Demands on the emergency loan program were more than in fiscal 1966 when $550,720 was loaned to 301 Virginia farmers. Compton said 71 counties in the state were designated by the Secretary of Agriculture during fiscal year 1967 as areas in which emergency loans could be made by the Farmers Home Administration to eligible farmers and ranchers. Joseph B. Keesee, County FHA Supervisor of the Culpeper Office, said that the pro gram provides a standby source of credit for farmers and ranchers who cannot get emergency credit from other sources. Emergency loans carry an interest rate of three percent. Repayment schedules vary according to purposes for which funds are advanced. Information on eligibility for emergency,i loans may be had at county offices of the Farmers Home Administration. The Culpeper Office is located at 608 S. Main Street and serves the counties of Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison, Orange and Rappahannock.

Panther Tales by Barbara Lillard Last week students and teachers enjoyed another four day weekend. Due to the unexpected snow, school was not held on Thursday and Friday. Following the long weekend students trudged backtoRCHS knowing that it was time "to settle down to the grind" once again. Spirits lifted, however, as eyes caught many delightful posters predicting victory for the Panthers Tuesday night! These posters were products of our cheerleaders, wjio are prepared to cheer the boys on to victory. All of RCHS is confident that the Panthers are on their way to a victorious season. The SCA met Monday, November 27, during 4th period. This long meeting was called to discuss numerous activities that are being planned by the organization. Plans are underway for the Christmas assembly and the White Christ mas Program was discussed. This program is a community wide service conducted through the school. Students bring in food wrapped in white paper and fill the white Christ mas baskets. These baskets are then distributed to less fortunate families in the area in hopes that their Christmas may be a little happier. This very worthwhile program will begin on December 15, so students let’s keep it in mind! Also at this meeting the Stamp Campaign and the up-coming dance were discussed. The Seniors met with Mr. Wingfield on Tuesday, November 28, at lunch time. The class voted on the invitation they wanted imprinted with the school seal. At an SCA meeting on Wednesday, invitations were the center of discussion also. Mr. Wingfield informed representatives that RCHS will adopt a standard invitation. He invited them to examine several different types of invitations and to familiarize their homeroom classmates with the decision. A standard invitation will distinguish us from other schools and also give us prestige and recognition. Congratulations to Mrs. Magarity’s junior boys. They will receive the ice cream treat with an attendance record of 98.15% for the month of November. Flash! Mr. Fetchero’s version of “How Now Brown Cow" is....“Ho Ho, Brown Cow!!

Today, for every local resident who is older than 27.2, there is one who is younger. For that is the median age locally, estimated on the basis of national studies conducted by the Government. Just how much of a drop there has been in the age level in the last few years is indicated by a look at the 1960 figures. At that time, the median age locally was 28.9, according to the Census Bureau findings. Elsewhere in the United States, the midpoint on the age scale is now 27.7 years and, in the State of Virginia, 25.5 years. The growing preponderance of young people is attributed principally to the sharp increase in birth rates following the last World War. And, despite the fact that, in the last few years, there has been a general decline in the birth rate throughout the country, it has remained Letter Tf Editor Dear Sir I am in search for a young man's family and if you could ref&r this letter to a local newspaper or club it would be greatly appreciated. Being the daughter of a missionary I have lived in Colombia South America for twelve years and it is there that I met this young man who is in so much need of help. His name is Alfonso Massey age 25 and a student of Engineering at the Universidad del Valle in Cali, Colombia. Alfonso’s father, Parke Duncan Massey, was an mine engi neer and he went some 4(J years ago to work indepently in the back country of Colom bia. While he was in the Vally of the Putumayo where he lived long enough to marry an indian girl, and father a child, Alfonso, W'hen Alfonso was one year old his father died and then when he was 14, his mother died. Though at a young age Alfonso was crippled, so that now he uses two canes to walk he fought his way out of the back country and made it to the University in the city of Cali. To support himself and pay his way through school Alfonso does two jobs. His first job is teaching English at night and his second job is singing in serenades because of his unusual good voice and talent on the Tiple, a national instrument which is in some way like a guitar with 12 strings. Alfonso needs help to live and to finish his education, that is why I am hoping .to find some of his father’s family. Alfonso can not for long carry his heavy load. He needs help. If you can in any way help please write to the follow ing address: Miss Janie Welmaker Box 4435 East Texas Station Commerce, Texas 75428 The only lead I have is that his father was from a town named Washington. Thank you Jamie Welmaker sufficiently high to produce a natural increase in population in the younger age groups. This trend toward youth has been emphasized by the limited gains made recently in extending the life span among older people. Asa result, there has been a natural increase of population--b i r t h s in excess of deaths — of 6.8 percent nationally in a period of five years. The changes in the age composition that have been taking place are brought out in the latest government reports. They show that from ldbO to date the number of youngsters ft. between ages 5 and 13 has increased 11.6 percent, the number between 14 and 17 by 28.1 percent and those in the 18 to 24 bracket, by 33.5 percent. On the other hand, there has been a 2.3 percent drop in the number under age 5. In Rappahannock County, the groups that have expanded most dramatically are the 12 to 16 contingent, which now totals about 540, and the 17 to 21 group, approximately 590.For businessmen and for local and national planners, the change in the age structure is of great importance. rhe needs and_ wants of a young population are quite different From those of an older population.

Agent, Agriculture Recently I did an article for Rappahannock News on planning, knowing the situation, pin pointing the problfem(s), the group processes of decision making, selecting and accomplishing goals. This week let’s focus on aspects of Rappahannock’s population in an effort to learn more about the situation as such must be known if any group is to give pur county’s change guidance in the direction people would like. For the first time in years the 1966 population census showed an increase, though slight, it was an increase. This alone is change. The living index (based upon: average value of products sold per farm: average, value of land and buildings per farm, percent of homes havingfreezj ers and automobiles was 110. By comparison the average living indexes of this production area III of which Rappahannock is a part was 116, while the state average index was 103. This in itself looks comparatively good. What though, about personal and per capita income, how do we compare? Total personal Income for the county is shown to be $8,462 (thousands), the average of the 16 counties In area ni to be $171,389 (thousands). But one county is shown to have lo\ver personal income. Also, as one would expect from this fact, per capita income is but $ i 519 representing only 63% of the state average. While discussing these income figures with one Rappahannock citizen in an interpretive manner, his comment was “perhaps our higher living index indicated the inclination of our people to live beyond, or right at their income." In supporting this state ment he called attention to the fine quality and size of many homes in the county and lack of good substantial barns, referring in particular to old homes and old barns.

Some think this is good, others are skeptical. Guess it depends somewhat on which end of the stick you are holding. What is the effect upon our living index? Sale value per acre does not increase earning power of the farm; will have influence on availability of credit. Will this increase in sale value influence; the tax base resulting in high- ; er total taxes even though the tax rate may not change? Does this rapid change demand a change in Virginia’s tax structure and laws governing taxation on real property? We hear talk and read articles about such changes called something like differential taxation; or is it preferential taxation? Anyway it is an approach to taxation based upon land use which may increase speculative buying. Believe the farm bureau is working on this. Whatabout our local farm bureau; could you folks enlighten us?

Dm St INC. Culpeper, Va. in the county via the press maybe? How can personal, or per capita income, be raised? What about availability of labor force from within from without - say a 20 mile radius of our county seat. If labor is available, are the people male or female? What are their skills educational levels? Raise job opportunities and you automatically raise income standards of living; tax resources are increased so the county can offer more service. Right? Lots of people have been talking and writing about availability of sanitary land filled dumps. “Let’s hold our greatest resource Rappahannock’s natural beauty. People are going to dump non-burnables along our roadsides aslongas no dumps are provided. We will continue to have to pay highway crews to clean-up behind litterbugs as long as we are without dumps." So tax dollars must be spent by our Highway Department to clean-up rather than to improve and maintain good safe roads. wnat aDout price 01 tne individuals guilty of littering our highways? Some can dig holejs on their own property and bury their own beer cans, pop bottles, oil cans from filling stations, others a re physically unable to do so. Is new industry the answer or improvement of the greatest industry we already have - agriculture? The number of people producing agricultural products, as well as the number of farms are both declining very rapidly in Rappahannock. Even the number of part-time farmers is decreas ing. Digging back into a poor memory I think perha ps this to be our greatest recent (5-10 yr.) change; for sure among the greatest. What does industry want? I hear they look for a lot of things besides availability of labor force even when this force has high educational levels and relatively high skills. They look at schools, churches availability of recreational facilities as well as hospitals, living conveniences, supply of goods and services, etc. Is getting on welfare, old age retirement, medicare, etc the answer?
