Report on New Elementary School The March meeting of the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors was held Friday, March 1 at the court house with all members present. Superintendent of Schools O. A. Norton reported on the pro gress of the new elementary school construction stating that it is hoped the facility will be ready for use for the l summer school program. The building is going according to schedule, however, rock has been struck in excavating for the sewage lagoon and slow ed progress in that area. This does not pose a great problem for it was anticipated that it could occur. . Other business in the school 1 category was the sale of school properties which will no longer be used after the opening of the new elementary facility. The Board was of the opinion that the Scrabble, Amissville and Washington Graded Schools and Washington and Sperryville biementary schools should be disposed of as soon as feasible in whatever manner deemed most beneficial to the county, j Mr. Norton also requested i $1,350 be . transferred from | the general fund to the pupil i scholarship fund for the second semester. Student scholar | ships help to pay tuition of students in Rappahannock who at| tend schools elsewhere. Dr. L, A.Dickerson,Director of the Rappahannock Health Department, gave a budget comparison summary of that [department’s operation for the past year and that anticipated for the 1968-69 fiscal year. ! Total budget for 1967-68 was $19,434.50 and that needed for j 1968-69 was $23,675.32, an j increase of $4,240.82. The j local share of the anticipated j budget for the forthcoming year is $4,591.35 an increase of $858.35 over the previous one. The Health Department’s requested funds will be referred to the Budget Committee. The ever present question of dumping facilities in the county was again broached. The trend of thought and discussion was for portable dumps in each community with a central dump where the units could be unloaded. The portable units would be constructed of heavy metal and Feed Grain Signup Deadline Nears March 15 is the last day for filing applications to take part in the 1968 wheat and feed grain programs. Chairman H. S. Barksdale of the Rappahannock County A SC Committee reminds growers that price support will be available only to farmers who participate in these respective programs. Participation is necessary to obtain diversion payments for corn and grain sorghum. The national average pricesupport loan rate for 1968crop wheat is $1.25 per bushel, available onall the wheat produced on a participating farm. The marketing certificates will be valued at the difference between full wheat parity and the$1.25perbushel national average loan value; the certificates will be available on 40 percent of the projected production of the farm allotment. (For the 1967 wheat crop, domestic certificates were worth $1.36 per bushel.) Price-support loan levels under the 1968 program will be available to program partlcipatants at a national average of $1.05 per bushel for corn and a national average of $1.61 per hundredweight for sorghum. Price-support payments will be 30 cents per bushel for corn and 29.68 cents per bushel for sorghum, based on the planted acreage up to one-half the farm base times the projected yield. Mr. Barksdale urges farmers who have not yet signed in either the wheat or feed grain program to call at the ASCS county office as soon as possible before the March 15 deadline. Fourteen wheat growers in Rappahannock County have signed up under the 1968 wheat program. Fifty-two feed grain producers have signed up to divert 603.6 acres under the 1968 feed grain program. designed so they could be towed away by truck when they were filled and an empty unit left in its place. This method is used in military installations and small cities and has proved to be most satisfactory. A committee was appointed to study costs and availability of such a system for dumping. The Budget Committee for 1968-69 was named and is composed of J. Newbill Miller, Robert L. Brown, E. M. Jones, George H. Davis, Jr., Mrs. Roberta Spalding, Herbert A. Foster, Mrs. Elizabeth Buntin, O. A. Norton, Norman Wilbur and the Rev. Charles Glaenzer. A letter from the TownCoun cil of Washington requested that the two mile buffer zone around the town be controlled by the county and that county ordinances apply here the same as the remainder of the county. This zone, set up for expansion of a town, may be under the control of either the town or county. The Town Council also included a resolution that the Rush River bridge just east of the town be put into the secondary road system rather than torn down. Oeorge H. Davis, Jr., Zoning Administrator, submitted a let ter of resignation from that post. He stated he felt there was a conflict of interest since he was involved in the possible location of an industry which would have to be acted on by the Zoning Board. The decision of the Supervisors was that he should step down for this case, but would not accept a permanent resignation. The annual road hearing was set for the April meeting of the Board of Supervisors which will be Friday, April 5. This is a public hearing at which time citizens may air their views, needs and complaints. The establishment of a Water and Sewage Authority for the county was discussed and the Commonwealth’s Attorney ,was asked to look into the statutory provisions of such an authority. Payment of current accounts was authorized before the group adjourned. Dance at Sperryville A dance will be held in the new fire hall at Sperryville on Friday night, March 22.

We hope that those of you who didn't have “enough nerve" to enter will come out to see how your friends do. Now is the time to begin thinking about planting flowers for later spring flowering. To grow Spring flowering bulbs successfully, remember to: select healthy, mature bulbs and to store them in a cool, dry place until planting time. Prepare the soil in planting beds thoroughly, and plant at depths, distances apart, and planting times recommended for each kind of bulb. Do you know the difference between bulbs, conns, and tubers? These three terms are referred to as bulbs, but they do differ in appearance. A bulb is composed of layers of flesh, or scales, that overlap each other like the layers of an onion. A complete flower ing plant develops inside the bulb and each year the plant replaces the bulb entirely. A corm, on the other hand, is a swollen underground stem that grows upright. Each year the growing plant produces a new corm on top of the old one. The plant then grows from the top of the corm. A tuber is the swollen end of an underground side shoot that has eyes, or growing points. Each eye produces a separate plant. They multiply from year to yearandmay be cut apart, or divided, to increase the number of plants you have - to reproduce each part must have an eye. *** REMEMBER . . .

Bass Limit Helping Shenandoah The catch of smallmouth bass 12 inches and over from 1 the Shenandoah River jumped about 28% in 1966, the second year the special 12 inch size limit was in effect, and results of the 1867 season not yet fully ana lyzed indicate that i this trend is continuing, reports Fish Research Biologist ! Eugene Surber. A fish kill on the main river between Riverton and Byrd Bridge made ' comparisons for that section | Invalid, but the rest of the main river and the South Fork showed generaF to marked improvement. An Increase in the I sunfish catch was also noted. Anglers caught more than 3 times as many smallmouths of all sizes in 1966 as they did in 1964 before the 12 inch limit was imposed. The total take-home catch of smallmouths was reduced some 80% when the 12 inch limit went into effect in 1965 and the previously creeled 6 to 9 inch smallmouths had to be thrown back. “The Shenandoah was rapidly becoming a catfish. redhorse sucker and carp stream before the limit was imposed," said Surber. The small average size ofthebass in the river with the "keep anything” regulation prevented their serving as efficient predators, and a Bowed less desirable species to increase. A recent decline in the catch of channel catfish from the South Fork is regarded as a good sign because the cats are thought to be competitive with bass to some extent. Fishing pressure has declined steadily since the study began in 1964.

Legibility A Must For Income Tax Reports •When will I get my refund?* This is one of the questions most frequently asked by Virginia taxpayers, District Director of Internal Revenue, James P. Boyle observed this week. He said that thousands of refund checks are returned to Internal Revenue every year because the postman cannot deliver the 171. uiegiDie names or addresses cause many refund checks to be returned undelivered. This can be avoided by carefully PRINTING or TYPING your name, address and zip code in the proper place on the return, and entering your correct social security number in the space provided, Mr. Boyle said. If you move after you file your return, leave your forwarding address with the Post Office. It is also a good Idea to send your new address to the Internal Revenue Service.

Those now enrolling, who for a year or long er had been eligible but had not signed up, will pay an addition al premium of 40 cents a month above the $4.

Weights & Measures Week Noted Mar. 1-8 Weights and Measures Week is celebrated across the nation from March 1 - 8. The Virginia Department of Agriculture and Commerce serves the consumer and retailer in many ways under the state’s weights and measures law. All items that are prepackaged are subject to check under the law. This includes not only the weight of the package and the proper label to identify its contents, but to see that the size of the container does not mislead the customer. Small capacity scales are checked under the Virginia law. These scales are normally of less than 400 pound and are used in grocery and hardware stores and in confectioneries. Scales in tobacco warehouses where baskets of tobacco are weighed for sale are also checked. All gasoline pumps are subject to inspection to assure the proper delivery and charge and gasoline signs must meet certain specifications.

S. troops in thai land, Korea, and elsewhere have access to the same speedy Red Cross communica tion service. But there is much more. Floyd L. Pillow, Red Cross state relations representative has marked the beginning of Red Cross Month by revealing the sharp increase in Red Cross services to the armed forces, due largely to a mill tary buildup of more than 500, 000 men in South Vietnam. In Virginia, as in other states, Red Cross chapters have been reporting a corresponding in crease in services to thefami lies, dependents, and survivors of these men. K For this reason, the Red Cross is characterizing its 1968 appeal with the slogan: "Help Us Help ...-. . .
