Following his initial appointment with the National Park Service on April 1, 1931, Mr. Hoskins served at several major National Park area.

Local Consumers Push GNP to High Residents of Rappahannock County outdid themselves in the past year in total consumer spending for goods and services, the final figures show. They contributed in good measure, through such outlays, toward producing a record-breaking gross national product (GNP). The GNP, which represents the total value of all goods and services produced in the country, is regarded by most economists as the principal index of the nation’s economic activity. This output, which came to $743 billion last year and which is rising well above that figure this year, takes into account personal spending, industrial outlays for plant expansion and all other disbursements, public and private, including those for national defense. The major part of it, by far, according to the National Industrial Conference Board and the Department of Commerce, was consumer spending, which amounted to no less than $465 billion, or almost two-thirds of the total. Rappahannock County accounted for approximately $3, 020,000 as its share of this total, carrying its own weight on the basis of population. Consumer spending for gooas ana services locally amounted to .0006 percent of the national. The spending Increases were across the board, ranging from house furnishings to personal care and from food purchases to recreation. Only part of the rise was due to bigger consumer buying. The rest was attributed to higher prices. Of the outlay in the local area for personal consumption expenditures, $3,020,000, the reports show that $2,234,000 was spent in retail stores in the area and the remaining $786,000 went for services. Included under "services* was rent, or, in the case of! owner-occupied dwellings, their imputed rental value.! At the present time, say the economists, the American people as a whole, what with incomes and savings at a high level, are inanexcellentposi cion to increase their spending and boost the GNP to a new record. As of the middle of this year, their financial assets were at an astronomical $1.5 trillion, ; it is estimated, or more than $90 billion more that at the beginning of the year. White Chrutma*^ Drive Conductd at RCHS The Student Co-operative Association of Rappahannock I County High School will conduct a White Christmas Drive throughout the school beginning December 15.

December Dangerous In Highway Crashes With 1941’s all-time high of 1,110 traffic deaths already topped this year, Colonel C. W. Woodson, Jr.; Superintendent of State Police and Chairman of the Governor’s Highway Safety Committee, warned that the latter part of December is always the most dangerous part of the year. Colonel Woodson cited drinking and driving as the greatest hazard. Noting that people consume more alcohol at Christmas time than at any other, he stated that at least 50 percent of all fatal crashes involve a drinking driver and that surveys indicate that this percentage leaps to about 70 during the period immediately including Christmas Day. December, he continued, sees more hours of darkness than any other month. Here, he noted that the death rate at night is about three times that of daylight. The heaviest traffic of the year, much of which moves after darkness, adds to the danger. Colonel Woodson felt also that the general preoccupation with the holiday season and all that goes with it could be another contributing factor. He noted further that the nation saw 800 deaths during the three-day Christmas holiday last year and that 16 of these were in Virginia. Asanexample of the dangers of the season, he pointed out that there were 12 Virginia traffic deaths on December 23 last year. Christmas Program at Beech Spring Baptist The Beech Spring Regular Baptist Church in Sperryville will present a Christmas play entitled "The Christmas Stranger” on December 23 at 7:30 p.m. Everyone is extended a cordial invitation to attend. The pastor is the Rev. Kerby Shenk of Luray. Marsh Urges Effort For Vietnam Vets WINCHESTER — Rep. John O. Marsh, Jr., appealed Saturday night for "an energetic effort to recognize the services and sacrifices of our se r v i ce m e n who have had duty in Vietnam when they return jto their home communities.” “Little is being done now to honor the returning service men,” he said. ine 7th District Congressman said that he believed “this recognition is something deserved by the individual men, and is not a matter of whether or not one approves of the specific measures involved in the war in Vietnam1’. Marsh, a Major in the Virginia National G ua rd spoke at a dinner meeting of officers and wives of the 1st Battalion, 116th Armor, Virginia National Guard, at the Carper's Valley Golf Club. Because the returning serviceman comes to his home on an individual basis, and not as a member of a unit, his return often is unnoticed by the community, and this is unfortunate,* he said; *and this is a major war, and those who have served and returned merit the full appreciation and recognition, of their home towns.* “An Operation Welcome Home is needed,* Marsh continued. “While little time remains, eventhrough the use of air mail, it would be appreciated greatly if community groups sent holiday greetings at this season to men in the field," he added. “More important, however, is to assure the returning serviceman that he performed a useful function for his country and for his individual freedom by serving away from his family, under enemy fire,* Marsh commented. “Veterans organizations and many civic organizations have taken notice of these services but more can and should be’ done to recognize the individual servicemen, when they return to their home communities, for the notable service they have given to the country, and to their own families by this contribution of a substantial period of their youth * Marsh said. “These men are due our individual and public thanks,* he added.

Get a good log that will burn well and split it lengthwise so that there is a flat side for it to lay on. Collect some evergreens, pine cones, holly leaves, and berries. Melt some paraffin (be sure to use a double boiler (as wax can easily) catch fire if melted any other way). After paraffin has melated, let cool enough so that you can handle it. Then pile it on the log (round side up) and press the ends of the greens into it. Arrange a design of pine cones, holly, leaves and berries in the center. The finished log makes a cute gift to decorate the hearth until you are ready to burn it. ************ December looks like a merry month for food consumers, for a varity of tasty foods awaits you at your favorite stores.

A report of payments made to each farmer under ACP, feed grain, wheat and other direct payment programs during 1967 will be mailed to the farmer during the latter part of January. This report is expected to be helpful in preparing Individual Income tax returns. The same Information must also be furnished to the Internal Revenue Service in accordance with a requirement of law. It is estimated that over three million farmers will receive this report, he said. This information is being gathered from county offices and summarized by computers located at New Orleans and Kansas City. The reports are being printed by the computers and mailed direct to farmers. Take Precautions for Safe Home Holiday Christmas tree, whether old-style or new, can be dangerous, warns the Institute for Safer Living. Special precautions should be taken to insure a safe home during this hazardous holiday season, starting with the Yule tree. If you purchase a tree from the great outdoors, cut the trunk on a slant at least one inch above the original cut> place it in water immediately and keep the water level above the cut at all times. Don’t bring it into the warm drying atmosphers of the house until Christmas. Use a water type base that is sufficiently large and heavy \ (with water) to keep the tree ! from toppling over. Set it up ;away from sources of heat and do not block the stairway lor door with it. Remove the I tree when the needles start to turn brown or start to fall - if not before. Use only sets of lights that have underwriter’s Laboratories approval, reports the Institute for Safer Living of the American Mutual Liability Insurance Company. Only those artificial trees and decorations made of non-combustible materials can be considered fireproof. Be wary of fire retardent chemicals or other substances sold for fireproofing natural trees and decorations As for artificial trees, metallic trees should never be strung with electric lights. Remember, too, that a shorted electric circuit can be as potentially hazardous to artificial trees as it is to natural trees. The entire tree can become electrically charged if contact is made with a frayed wire or a poorly insulated socket. Plastic trees may also produce electric shocks when coated with metallic material. The Institute for Safer Living also advises that you know the electrical load of your Christmas decorations, both those on the tree and in other places in the house or outdoors. Do not overload the circuits. Motor Fuel Consumed Reaches Record High Virginia highway users consumed a record 1,730,930,000 gallons of motor fuel during 1967, Virginia Petroleum Industries reports. H. H. Scott, Chairman of the Executive Committee, said that the estimated 1967 figure represents an increase of 4.4 per cent over 1966 gallonage. "Greater motor fuel consumption means greater tax collections,” Scott pointed out. He said that Virginia’s 7 centa-gallon levy on motor fuel will yield an estimated $ 123,251,000 to the state for 1967. This does not include revenue from the 4 cent-a-gallon federal tax on gasoline, he noted. Motor fuel tax receipts again constituted the largest single item in the state highway-user tax category, which includes registration fees and other special taxes imposed on vehicle use. Scott added that the figures SEE US FOR CHRYSLER - PLYMOUTH INTERNATIONAL RUSSELL BROS., INC. U. S. HIGHWAY 522 FLINT HILL, VA. PHONE 675-3646 are based on reports from the U. S.

Tips Given On Winter Motoring The 3;500 men who drive cars and trucks for the State Highway Department have received some tips on winter motoring — but the tips are ist as applicable for other drivers, as well. They come from M. G. Lyell the Department’s safety engineer, who provides outlines ,for safety programs each month for highway forces. Noting that winter rain, sieei 6now and ice create additional driving hazards, Lyell says it won't help much to blame the weather for accidents. “No traffic collision is solely the fault of the feather, for it is up to the driver to meet adverse weather and road conditions with proper equipment attitude and driving skill." Lyell says that many accidents can be avoided by assuring that vehicles are well light ed for night driving, by use of advance signals for turns and stops, and by refraining from: stopping on. tne pavement, u Flares or other warning lights|: should be used in event of, emergency stops, he says.. And he offers the following; additional tips, explaining that, "It is up to you to ‘winterize’ your car, your driving techniques and your determination to avoid collisions": * Keep windshield and windows clear. Be sure that wiper 1 blades, heater and defroster are working properly. Venti-j late to keep the inside of win-| dows from fogging and to prevent carbon monoxide poi-i soning. , * Have good tires, and usej tire chains for severe ice and snow conditions. Mud and snow tires have limitations, and! should not be depended upon! for all driving and road con-! ditions during the winter months. * To "get the feel of the road", try your brakes or gently press the accelerator while driving slowly when traffic and highway conditions permit. If the wheels slide or spin, adjust ^our speed accordingly • * Keep well back of the vehicle ahead, so that you have plenty of room to stop. Remember that it takes three to twelve times farther to stop on ice and snow than it does on dry pavement. * Pump your brakes to maintain the best steering control when braking on ice or slippery snow. Jamming on the brakes Is almost certain to lock the wheels. Pumping your brakes means a fast application and release two or more times a second. * If you skid, steer Instantly in the direction of the skid, to head the vehicle back on course. Steer just enough to correct the skid. Lyell concluded, in his j message to highway forces: "The defensive driver makes ! allowances for weather conditions, reduced visibility and slippery roads. Encourage i everyone to be especially watchful during poor driv- ' ing conditions in order to avoid collisions." j January Deadline on j ROTC Scholarships January 15, 1968 is the deadline date for submission of completed Army Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) scholarship applica tions, according to announcement from Army headquarters at Fort George G.

This year it is expected that the entire crop will be outplanted and probably 80% of it will be used to reforest cutover woodlands. The 16-county Northern Piedmont District has been allotted 4 million seedlings for sale to its landowners. District Forester D. G. Wilfong, Jr., says that enough cutover woodland sites were prepared last summer by prescribed burning and bulldozing to take two-thirds of the allotted trees. All of the trees are sold on a first-come, first served basis; therefore seriously interested landowners should order their trees early. Delivery will be made whenever the landowner requests up to April 15. Trees can be ordered through the Chief Forest Warden of each county, through any Virginia Division of Forestry forester, or an order blank can be had by writing the Virginia Division of Forestry office in Charlottesville. Capt.

Mr. Barber, who serves on the state public relations committee of the forthcoming build1 ing project, reported that the go-ahead was given to the finance committee chairman to draw up a brochure to be used in the fund-raising drive for the new facility. At a cost of $139,000, the administration building will house sleep ing and eating quarters for 52 men, two large classrooms an assembly room, plus baths and showers. In the plans also is a fire tower, the first of its type to be scheduled for Virginia, which will cost an additional $57,300. This build ing, Mr. Barber said, will be tour stories mgn and will have all different type windows around it and a fire pit in the bottom. The school will be built on a 5 1/2-acre tract of land given by the City of Lynch burg. When completed, classes at the school will be available to all members of the Virginia Association of Rescue Squads in a central location accessible to men from all parts of the state. At first, courses will be offered during summer months and eventually, if the demand is great enough, they will be held the year round. Construction will begin as soon as funds are available. ISC Organizes To Protect Foxes, Wolves Alarmed by the rapid Increase in restrictive legislation affecting their sport, fox and wolf hunters throughout the United States and Canada have banded together to establish the International Sportsmen’s Committee. Foxes and wolves are being declared predators in many states. As predators, instead of game animals, they are L*5S? CHRISTMAS SEALS FIGHT TUBERCULOSIS EMPHYSEMA AIR POLLUTION This space contributed by the publisher as a public service being exterminated systematically by trapping, poisoning and shooting. According to hunters, there is no reason j for the deliberate annihilation \ of these animals. They contend j that decisions to authorize the i change in classification from | game animal to predator do not reflect the thinking of modern wildlife management experts. Excellent publications on this subject are “Red Foxes of Michigan" by David A. Arnold of the Michigan Department of Conservation, “Guide for Removal of Wildlife Bounty" by Professor H. Charles Laun of the University of Missouri and “The Coyote of Kansas" by a staff professor of the University of Kansas. There are also U. S. Government publications on the subject of rabies that show the fox is far from being the leading carrier of rabies. We feel, says C. J. Ireland, chairman of ISC, “that we have been losing our rights by default. There are strong arguments in favor of continue ing to classify foxes and wolves as game animals, but these arguments have really not been heard, as they will be through the International Sportsmen’s Committee. Fox and wolf hunters now have a means of stating their views to national and state legislatures and to the various regulatory agencies.” In addition to those which involve legislation, ISC will deal with other major problems of fox and wolf hunters. Mr. Ireland cited dog theft as a typical example. He said that plans are being made to open a national register of fox and wolf hound serial numbers. Dog owners would apply to ISC for serial numbers for each of their hounds. The numbers assigned would be tattooed inside the ears of the dogs so that positive identification could be made at any time. ISC, which is headquartered in Boston, Va., estimates that there are approximately 40,000 fox and wolf hunters in this country and that there are “sizable numbers* in Canada.

Allen, Jr., extension sheep specialist at Virginia Tech. Each lost lamb, he pointed out, means about $25 less income from a sheep operation. He said closer attention to rrianagement details could save many of these animals. "For instance, don’t let ewes get wet near lambing time," said Allen. "During the month before lambing, keep the ewes near a shelter so they’ll have protection from the bad weather. “Feed some grain and hay the month before lambing to prevent lambing paralysisand to insure stronger la mbs and a better milk supply. Increase the feed slightly when the pastures are covered with snow. “Be sure ewes heavy with lambs don’t get excited or crowd through narrow doors t>r gates. Keep, them away from barn sills or ditches or any objects that would cause them to climb or jump." Allen said some sheepmen separate ewes that will lamb within the following 24 hours into small groups so they won’t be crowded and knocked around; they also can be observed more closely. Keep the ewes as quiet as possible when they go into labor and offer assistance only if needed, he added. After the lambs are born, Allen suggested moving the ewe and her lambs to an individual pen. Treat the lambs’ navel cords with iodine and make sure that they nurse within a few minutes. If the weather is very cold or the lambs appear weaker than normal, he said to dry them off with a clean towel and put them under a heat lamp. “In case the ewe has no milk.

Open ’til 8:00 p.m. Each Friday Evening try to get milk from another ewe that has recently lambed," advised the specialist. "If ewe's milk is not available, use condensed or fresh cow's milk that has been warmed to a temperature of about 103 degrees. You can feed the milk with a bottle, spoon or stomach tube. Feed the lamb small amounts, but feed him often. Give the ewe water and hay the day she lambs, but don’t start feeding grain until the second day." Allen said to keep the ewes and lambs in the lambing pens between one and four days, depending on the weather, strength of the la mb and whether it's a single or a twin. Move them from the lambing pen to a small group of ewes with lambs of about the same age. This is also a good time| to dock and castrate the lambs the specialist added. When the, lamhs are Detween 10 days and two weeks old, Allen suggested moving them in with the larger group of lambs, where they’ll have access to creep feeders. “Be sure that sheep can reach clean, fresh water at all times. A ewe will drink up to one and a half gallons of water a day around lambing time. The amount she drinks can have a big effect on her milk production,* said the specialist.

Security Notes You have heard or read a number of so-called facts about Social Security lately. Mrs. Hazel F. Daly, District Manager expressed the opinion that this is a good indication that people are becoming more aware of the social security program and its impact on their lives. A program affecting nine out of every ten working people in the United States today deserves more than a cursory thought. Our older citizens have been more concerned and availed themselves of the information available through the district office. It seems that medicare had a beneficial side effect of making many people interested in finding out what the social security program meant to them. They suddenly relized it would be prudent to find out what protection they had in the event of retirement, death, or disability. Many younger people, who ordinarily would not give social security a thought until they needed to apply, are now asking for information. Young families are orienting their other protection against disability or death around their social security protection. Because social security is a compulsory insurance program it is a protection many workers need, but otherwise would not buy on their own initiative. More and more young breadwinners are supplementing the family protection with privabflnsurance. They have learned that social security provides a basic protection during their working years as well as a retirement fund. This is the original intent of the program; to provide a base upon which the individual through his own initiative, and sometimes with the assistance of his employer, would build a protection against the day he was no longer the breadwinner. Thirty years ago the first contributions were made to the trust fund. During those 30 years the protection provided by social security has expanded to cover not only the worker against loss of income at retirement, but also the worker and his family against loss of income due to death or disability. In the last few years there has been a rising interest by the people in their individual protection under social security. “This is very gratifying as we have always encouraged people to learn more about the program and now we are seeing this happening,” said Mrs. Daly. proper driving, fined $20 and costs $10.75.
