Hunt Accident Rate Ahead of Last Year Thirty-six persons have been injured in hunting mishaps so far this season as op posed to 32 hurt during the same period last year, accord ing to Game Commission Safe ty Officer J. N. Kerrick. The number of fatal accidents was limited to 4 for each period, however. Eighteen of the mishaps occurred while the victims hunted Big Game and the remained Involved 6mall game hunters. Shotguns were the offending weapon in 24 of the accidents. Victims concealed or partial ly concealed from the shoot er were the leading factor in accidents involving intentional discharge. Persons moving unexpectedly into the line of fire ran a close second in this category. Defective weapons and unexplained discharges were the most common factor in accidental discharges. Various acts of care less gun handling suchasdrop ping , weapons, snagging trig gers and clubbing game together accounted for nearly half of the mishaps of this type J.

The Science Department has a new weather station where wind speed, wind direction, barometric pressure, highand low temperatures and precipitation are recorded. Great, hey?? Attention Students — Don’t forget to keep bringing in your stamps for the stamp campaign. Think of all the food your stamps will buy for starving children overseas. Ask your friends and relatives to save them for you also. The campaign ends January 22, so let’s get out and gather those stamps. Flash....When the Fetcheros say they cruisearound Rappahannock in “the Pearl", don’t be puzzled. The Pearl is their little Volkswagen. Mysterious Person??

This mayj be bad or good; it depends on i how you look at it. The apples! Lee, or me. Seriously though, this apple tree population is ANOTHE1R CHANGE taking place in Rap pahannock. In less than 2C years the apple tree population dropped nearly 50%,. Back in 1949 we had a shade under 180 thousand trees;last year there were but 96,088 apple trees in the county! There was a 20.6% drop in total tree numbers in but ? four-year span; 1963-67. Not only is the total tree population declining rapidly; also there is a sharp decline in percentage of total trees that are not of bearing age. In 1956 around 21%, of our total apple tree population was in non-bearing trees as compared to 10% in 1967! Is this good, bad, or indifferent? I’ve always felt apples to be a money maker for the good manager with a good site. Could be we’ll have to put livestock on those hills where apples are now growing and winter them on newspapers! F.lectro Ag’68. Those wanting a ride to Richmond let me. know pronto. The last time I saw Randall Updike he felt he too could take a carload of farmers down. Also, see business firms of Culpeper are pooling rides from Baptist Church parking lot. **********$** All Johnson grass is not infested with Maize Dwarf Mosiac (MDM), however, this disease of corn should be anticipated where Johnson grass is present in the field. Corn hybrids found resistant to MDM at the Wingina test plots and elsewhere reveal the following can be recommended for resistance to this disease: P.A.G. SX17, llotmeyer 11601R, Southern States( 866, and Pioneer 3182. Seed from other imbred lines showing great promise of resistance to M.D.M. is being increased. ************ Whoa. Why not get those forage samples in for analysis? Tis funny. Something new that is good takes right off with some farmers and they continue to use it year after year. They became aware, interested, tried it, evaluated, and then accepted the pract ice. Which place are you; H\, #2, //3, or #4? I know who the #5’s are. If you got past the number 3 spot and bogged down in your evaluation, p 1 e ate e come by, maybe I can hqlp you out. Will sure try., J ************ Farmers’ Tax Guides are here. Mrs. Snead, Mr. Manwaring, Gen. Nocc, Mr. C. F. Johnson, Jr., Mrs. Alice Wood and Mr. Havstad were among those getting their copies last week. We have received a copy of Secretary of Labor, Willard Wirtz’s list of hazardous occupations for farmer workers under lb years employed in Agriculture. In brief, any child under lb years, unless employed by his parents, will not be allowed to operate a tractor with over 20 belt horsepower nor operate a self unloading wagon nor operate or unclog a power - driven combine, field baler, hay conditioner, corn picker or forage harvester. No doubt you who work boys under 16 will be hearing more about this. Better comObyand look the list over thoroughly. Anyhow, I'm glad I grew up: (1) on farm and (2) away back in the twenties. Back in those days -- -- oh well we can’t look back these days. Unless you look NOW you'll soon not know what’s happening today, much less be able to anticipate what might happen tomorrow.*1 o 15th ANNIVERSARY "SALE” SMITHS BETTER MEN’S WEAR FRONT ROYAL, VIRGINIA Buy Angus Bull Locust Valley Farm, Castleton, recently purchased an Aberdeen-A ngus bull from Brandy Rock- Farm, Brandy Station, Va. Game Season Closes (Continued from Page 1) and Bobby Clater checked in 13 deer. John L. Jenkins of Castleton brought in an eight point buck, as did Franklin Hume of Annandale. Archie Bailey of Arlington and Clyde Pullen'of Washington both checked in Bucks. John Silvey of Amissville killed a six point buck in Culpeper that was checked at Jdn.-*kins Garage. Richard Menefee of Washington checked a four point buck. A buck killed by Oscar Sisk and a doe taken by John K. Gaines in Rappahannock were checked in Etlan. Clarence Baldwin put a check card on a bear taken by Cecil Hartley of Culpeper. This bear tipped the scales at 370 pounds after field dressing. Alsokilling bear in Rappahannock were William Clark and Ronnie Clark of Culpeper and Tex Weakley of Wolftown. The four bear taken this year equaled the number taken a year ago, which had been the county’s high year. For those hunters who were successful in this a lean year, the deer have been brought in and now checking cards show the success in black and white, but for those who ask why such a lean year - hunters will theorize all winter. Thathowever is another story for another edition. Today we con gratulate the successful hunter. c' *na riAij • Your dentist saves your teeth. He may also save your tile.

American Cancer society Retired Farmers Can Get Busy Retired farmers often have two things in common, unemployment and latent ability —the latter in the form of a “green thumb" lying idle. But few persons, with the possible exception of trained landscape engineers, are so qualified and skilled in the art of planting. In an effort to give retired and elderly farmers an opportunity to stay busy, while at the same time making the* most of their skill and knowledge, the Virginia Department of Highways has entered into an agreement with Green Thumb, Inc., a subsidiary of the National Farmers Union. The Department figures to harvest increased highway beauty. Green Thumb, Inc., is primarily financed by the U. S. Office of Economic Opportunity, and the Highway Department participates to the extent of supplying supervision, plants, fertilizer and tools. The Department notes that this “in kind* type of participation will amount to about $10,000 a year for each county in which the program is in effect. E. W. Turner, highway landscape engineer, indicates there are many benefits which can be derived by the Department from Project Green Thumb, and he lists among them such things as: ♦Care, maintenance and replacement of plant material. •Selective thinning and clean-up along the State’s primary and secondary highways. •The planting of pine seedlings in someareas where it is desirable to eliminate mowing. •The collecting and transplanting of native plants and materials along certain roadsides. » At present, Virginia has two Green Thumb crews at work on plant maintenance on Interstate 81 in Washington County and also two crews working on general roadside maintenance in Lee County. Turner adds that plans are being considered to begin Proje^tj^GretMj^Thunib in the* ?cotHM|es*of ertyfeon.'^hester^ fiekl^atid Westmoreland \nd also in Seashore State Park.. Each crew consists of a foreman and five to six crewmen, and they work under the supervision of a state director appointed by the National farmers Union. The Highway Department simply advises either the state director, a regional coordinator or a crew foreman as to projects within Get the water system that saves you money • With a SOUTHERN STATES STA - RITE WATER SYSTEM, you Ret an abundance of water and come out many dollars ahead.

Gets Recreation Grant The Virginia Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries has received notification from the Commission of Outdoor recreation of its first actual Federal Land and Water Conservation Fund grant. The $185,149 grant will match State Game Commission funds used in the acquisition of over two thousand acres of land to establish the Amelia Wildlife Management Area in Amelia County, and over six hundred acres added to the existing Powhatan Wildlife Manage ment Area in Powhatan County. Further development ot i these areas for public out- j door recreation is planned,; with facilities for public hunt- j lng, fishing, camping, biking, horseback riding, field trials and nature study. Federal, matching funds enable the Game Commission to accelerate its acquisition and de-; velopment of multiple use outdoor recreation areas. The Land and Water Conservation Fund provides Federal funds for matching grants to states for approved outdoor recreation projects, *nd is supported by revenue from the sale of the annual $7 Golden Eagle Permit, other Federal outdoor recreation entrance and user fees, the sale of Federal surplus real property, and the Federal motorboat fuels tax. In Virginia, available Federal matching grants are allocated by the Commission of Outdoor Recreation to approved projects that conform with the Virginia Outdoors Plan, the long range, comprehensive State plan for conservation and outdoor recreation development. The Rescue Squad By Eddie Clark, Jr. When the siren screams, a highly trained team of men responds to the call. These men are all volunteers who willingly give of themselves to help others. These men are members of the “Rescue Squad”. They may be high school students, store owners, gas station attendants, or carpenters, men from all walks of life who are united into one organized team by the call for help whether it be an auto accident, a hunting accident, or an illness. One thing is just as important as the other. The Rescue Squad responds as quickly to one as to the other, not giving any regard to race or economic status. The one thing that is required of all the men is a desire to help people in trouble. The regular squadsmen all have the all-important First Aid training and afluent knowledge of the skills and techniques that save countless lives. When presented with a problem, the squadsman has the knowledge and training that enables him to react without a wasted second, to start working on the situation in an effort to correct whatever is wrong or to transport rhe victim to the hospital for treatment of more serious injuries. Oftentimes the squad is called under impression that there is some ejnergency when actually the person justs wants a free way to travel to the hospital, for a volunteer squad is not allowed to charge the persons*3 that are treated or transported. These cases are not common but they are far from rare. Fortunately the majority of persons do not take advantage of the generosity of the men that are a part of this team of “good Samaritans”. When persons confront mem bers of the various squad6 with the question, “What do you get out of it?”, it is often Cfocst funeral |3arltfra H. C.

The rewards that one gets from this work are not easily expressed. They cannot be expressed in dollars and cents because the smile of a little child that has been helped after a burn he got while playing with matches or the thanks you see in the eyes of a person taken from the scerTQ of a wreck cannot be bought with all the money in the world nor would one exchange them for all the riches in the universe. It is truly hard to put it into words but, inside you can feel a warm satisfaction knowing that you may have saved a life. Not always are you able to save someone in spite of all that you do. Sometimes you see the loss of a childfe life as a result of someonefe drunken driving, or the useless crippling of a young person and you wonder how could such a thing happen. No matter how often you see pain and death, you never become immune to the gnawing feeling that you get inside every time you are confronted with it. When a person brings it upon himself either intentionally or by his reckless actions it is not as hard to take" and understand as are the cases oi innocent people being put through needless agony as a result of someone else whc escapes unharmed. With all the joy and satisfaction, and with all the heartaches and suffer ing, the people who are a part of the Rescue Squad are some of the most dedicated and devoted people in any community. They don’t have any special characteristics as far ■as outward appearence, they are just ordinary people. But they are very special because they can see through all of the blood and screams to realize the service that they are performing to their fellow man. 15th ANNIVERSARY "SALE” SMITH'S BETTER M^N’S WEAR FRONT ROYAL, VIRGINIA Stock the Linen Closet . with Savings... ;a V Warm Sleepwear, Gowns, Pajamas and Robes Greatly Reduced Special Prices on Floral Sheets, Pillow Cases and Towels 10% Off on All Other Household Items ) TABLE of HOSE, BRAS and GIRDLES on SALE!

Mr. Hull, who now lives in Virginia Beach, probably is best known for his association with the “Strike It Rich" program which was a top daytime and night-time television show from 1948 until the late 1950s. 1 He contributed his talents not | anly as emcee but assisted 1 with the creation and producj tion of the programs.

While in Hollywood from 1935 to 1940 he worked with Warner Brothers, Columbia, Universal, RKO, and other motion picture studios, and played the leads in 36 movies and in the “Green Hornet” and “Spider" serials. In 1942, soon after his return to New York, Mr. Hull became co-interviewer with Parks Johnson on the “Vox Pop” show. There. followed seven years of travel, In a dif ferent location each week. Dur; ing.the war years the program1 was devoted to boosting thei war effort, broadcasting from service bases coast to coast; and in Canada. After the war, “Vox Pop” broadcast from France, England, Alaska, and Puerto Rico.

H. Scott, chairman of the Virginia Petroleum Industries executive committee said to. day. “For example,” Scott said, “a Virginia motorist who drives 12,000 milesa year and averages about 15 miles per gallon may include $56.00 in his federal income tax deductions.” To compute your deductions, Scott said, “Simply multiply the number of gallons you bought by your state gasoline tax of 7 cents, using your pur chase receipts or credit card invoices to find the total gallons.” “If you did not save your invoices,” Scott said, "divide your total mileage by the miles your car travels per gallon of gasoline and then multiply this number by your state gasoline tax of 7 cents. Tax Requirements For Students Students who worked parttime or during the summer may have a refund coming on their 1967 Federal income tax returns, James P. Boyle, District Director of Internal Revenue said today. Students are required to file a tax return if they earned $600 or more. If they earned less than $600 and taxes were withheld from wages by their employers, they should file a return in order to obtain a refund of thq tax withheld from their wages. Unmarried students who earn less than $900 will not owe any Federal income tax. They are entitled to claim the usual $600 personal exemption, plus a $300 minimum standard deduction.

Parents who furnish more than one-half the cost of support for their child who i6 a full-time student may also claim him as an exemption on their tax return, unless the child is married and is filing a joint return with his or her spouse. No Changes in Tax Rates Because there have been no changes in the Federal income tax and social security withholding rates for 1968, employers should continue to use their present copy of Circular E, “E!mployer’s Tax Guide,” James P. Boyle, District Director of Internal Revenue for the Richmond District, advised today. Mr. Boyle stressed that employers should not be expecting a new issuanceof Circular E, also referred to as Publication No. 15, but should use their current edition for withholding information and tables Employers can make certain they have the latest edition of the “Employer’s Tax Guide' by checking the front cover to make sure that it bears the notation, Publication No. 15 (Rev. Jan. 1967.) While there has been no increase in the social security tax rate for 1968, Mr. Boyle pointed out that the maximum annual income subject to social security has been increased from $6,600 to 7,800 for both employees and the self-employed, effective January 1, 1968. The social security employee tax tables in the current Circular E can be used to accomodate this increase, Mr. Boyle said.

Social Security Notes The changes in the social security law signed by President Johnson on January 2, 1968 will mean a benefit increase of at least 13 percent in the social security checks of about 900 men, women, and children in the Rappahannock County area. The Social Security Administration’s high 6peed electronic computers are figuring the increases for all 23,700,000 social security beneficiaries around the country and will finish the task in time to include the increases in the checks delivered early in March. Beneficiaries need not take any action to get the increase, It will be sent to them automatically. Residents of the Rappahannock County area can expect the first increase check on Saturday, March 2nd, one day earlier than the usual 3rd of the month delivery of social security benefit checks. Under a recent arrangement with the Treasury Department and the Post Office, social security checks are delivered a day early instead of a day late when the 3rd of the month falls on a Sunday or holiday. Some social security beneficiaries will receive more than a 13 percent increase. The minimum benefit for workers retiring at 65 is increased from $44 to $55. We Can Supply All Your CULPEPER BUILDING & SUPPLY CORP. Phone VA5-8383 Culpeper, Va. The average benefit payable I to a retired worker, about $86 i will be raised to $98, an increase of $12 a month. The average couple’s benefit, now $145, will go up to $165; and the average widow’s benefit will rise $11, from the current average of $75 to $86. The last increase in social security benefits amounted to 7 percent, and was effective January 1965. About 3 out of every 10 bend ficiaries receiving an increas ed check early in March will be someone under 65, many of them the children of working fathers who have died. The value of social security survivors insurance is often overlooked. Social security is more than just a retirement system. But it is also income | protection for the family in case of the breadwinner’s death or disability. With the increased benefit payments provided under the new amendments, to the law, the face value of social security survivors insurance protection is increased to about $940 billion. This isjustabout equivalent to the value of all the private life insurance now in force.
