The Federal Drug Administration, in cooperation with the Federal Trade Commission, is moving to bar from the market a large number of drugs that it considers to be of no medical value. The action is based upon, evaluations, by the National Academy of Sciences, of more than 3,000 drugs that are in common use. It judged about 10 percent of them to be ineffective for what they were intended. They will be ordered off the market. Various other medications will have to be relabeled to limit their claims to conditions for which they are really effective. Residents of Rappahannock County, who are spending more than they ever did for pharmaceuticals, have a vital interest in these proceedings. Their purchases of drugs are estimated at $112,000 a year, on the strength of regional data gathered by the National Center for Health Statistics. Included in this total arc medications proscribed by physicians as well as the pills, salves, nose drops and other products that are sold without prescriptions. On the average, the survey shows, people living in Rappahannock County’s geographical region spend about $22.80 per capita annually for medical supplies. This compares with an avet» age of $21 per person in other parts of the country. Approximatey $17.50 of the local expenditure is for prescription drugs and the other $5.30 for non-prescription. The cost of medicines has b^en rising steadily, the stuuies show. So has per capi ta consumption, especially in the upper age groups. The over-65 portion of the population spends about $50.20 a year for drugs per person, according to a PublicHealth Service report. I hose in the 15 to 24 age group, on the other hand, spendless than a quarter of that amount, $12.10 per capita. Although the men and women in Rappahannock County who are over 65 constitute only 11.5 percent of theloca 1 populaton, their drug bill is about $28,000, which Is very large in proportion to their number.

RAPPAHANNOCK LIBRARY SEEKS SUPPORT GROUP This week many people in Rappahannock will receive a letter inviting them to join the “Friends of the Library*. This is the formal establishment of the group which will help support the library, participate in its various projects and activities, and promote the aims of a free library in Flappa hannock. In the past six years a small group of dedicated volunteers assisted by some substantial Foundation contributions, has done an excellent job of setting up a working library service to the community. The old Presbyterian church at Calvert and Gay streets, built in colonial style about 1850, was purchased from the Baggarly estate and restored. The conversion to a library sacrificed very little of the colonial interior, and even the pulpit and choir loft were retained. Cu ounds were improved by lowering the grade in front, installing brick steps and landscaping with boxwood donated by Interested supporters. Over 5,000 books now grace the shelves and are ready for circulation. Among the titles are many recent “musts* on preferred reading lists. A “Virginia* shelf now contains enough works to stimulate the appetite of a researcher in Virginia history. A shelf of books covering much of the history of great wars of the world has been donated by a retired general. The Librarian keeps many of the more popular and responsible magazines on the tables for perusal by the visitor or the more serious reader. There are many good worksforchildren, and the library staff, has constantly stressed the development of a children’s library. For several years a book fair has been held annually with special emphasis on books for young people In Rappahannock, last year this fa ir wa s taken into the schools. The library, from Its very Inception, has conducted noteworthy exhibits and programs, and will continue to do so. In the spring a well known author will be present to speak to the Friends of the- Library. The library staff has adopted a policy of freely cooperating with all agencies In the area, especla Ily the s c h o o 1 s and the churches, to further the cultural program. There Is no state or federal aid available for Rappahannock Libra ry, yet there should be. However, the qualifying requirements arc impossible to meet at this time. The library needs many friends who will stand by, take a personal interest in Its aims, and actively participate In its programs and services, and primarily, use it. If you do not receive a letter inviting you to join the Friends of the Library, it is because your name has not been submitted in time. This is a public invitation to join the group. All you need to do is mail or take a letter to the library indicating your interest in becoming a member. A contribution of your choosing will be helpful, and a gift of books is always welcomed. The library will need many more good books, especially recent works. Soliciting Friends of the Library will become an annual event in March with emphasis on use by everyone in addition to financial support. Anyone wishing to assist asa volunteer this summer will be welcomed. Library hours now are Wednesday afternoons and Saturday mornings. Shooting Matches Shooting Matches will be held on the afternoons of March 23 and March 30 at l p.m. at the Washington Carnival grounds. Benefit of the Flint 11 ill Softball Team. Prizes: Pigs and Hams. Town Council Views Film On Shelters Jack Wayland of Sperryville showed films on Fallout Shelters for the community and home at the regular meeting of the Town Council in Washington on Tuesday. He is one of the local teachers who has been receiving leadership | training to become a Civil Defense Warden for the Schools should the need arise. i [ The fallout shelters for a j rural area of this type would be to protect citizens, who had | survived the initial nuclear ! blast, from fall outforat least mn weeks. After watching the films the general opinion of the group was that family shelters would be more feasible than community ones. F’lans for these can be secured through the School Wardens. He further stated that emergency food supplies were available from the Federal Government for community and home shelters that comply with approved standards. Shelters in underground base ments can be satisfactorily improvised as three feet of dirt on all sides and the ceiling is ample protection. He stated that the I.uray Caverns would be one of the safest places and would provide natural protection from the fallout. The Council designated the week after Faster for the annual Clean-up Campaign and voted to set Saturday April 20th as Fxtra Trash Collection Day.

A factor for this being that many articles are being made of leather and the cost of leather has increased.

Also, we will see more permanent labeling with labels being sewn into garments. This will sure be a big help in giving us the care needed in plain view everytime we go to launder or have a garment cleaned. Rep. Marsh Urges Armistice Celebration WASHINGTON, March 12 — Rep. John O. Marsh, Jr., has urged that Congress make plans for the 50th Anniversary of Armistice Day, World War I, which will occur on November 11. Marsh introduced on Monday, March 11, a resolution to establish a special joint Congressional committee to be composed of ten members each from the House and the Senate, divided equally as to party. They would be appoint ed by the Speaker of the House and the Vice President in his capacity as President of the Senate. In a statement, the 7th District Congressman said: “While more recent conflicts have dimmed the memory of World War I, except for veterans who served in it, and Armistice Day has become Veterans Day, honoring those who rallied to the colors in all wars of the United States, it seems appropriate that particular recognition be given to Armistice Day on its 50th anniversary. “Such observance, within the Congress and by veteran and other patriotic organizations and community groups throughout the Nation, could provide opportunity for recollection of our historic commitment to freedom and for recognition of the unfortunate fact of history that freedom must be defended repeatedly, often at great cost. “Additionally, the 50th anniversary of Armistice Day could serve to emphasize our historic dedication to peace — for our own Nation and all peoples." [Governor Proclaims Va. Wildlife Week Governor Mills E. Godwin, | Jr., signed a proclamation March 5 officially setting aside March 17-23 as Wild! life Week in Virginia. “This is ! a most appropriate time for the citizens of Virginia to take stock of the richness of our wildlife and to pledge again our determination to understand and protect our natural environment," the document said. Wildlife Week is sponsored annually in Virginia by the Virginia Wildlife Federation, an affiliate of the National Wildlife Federation, in cooperation with the Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries and other conservation agencies and groups. This year’s theme, “Learn to Live with Nature," stresses the importance of adequate conservation education. The Governor’s proclamation stressed that “In Virginia, we have an unequaled heritage of natural beauty, of wild animals and plant life. Man’s intimate contact with nature is as important to his spiritual needs as technological advances are to his material well being." The statement further pointed out that “For our own enjoyment and for the pleasure of generations to follow, we must attempt to preserve these treasures by making sure we do everything we can to 'Learn to Live with Nature' " Highway Dept. Limiting Summer Employment The State Highway Department said today that its sum-; mer employment program this year will be limited mostly to civil engineering and engineer ing technology students. In recent summers, because of the heavy construction pro gram and, sometimes, a back log of routine office work, the Department has employed a number of other college and high school students. While the construction program .remains at a high level, it has been slowed by holdbacks in federal funds, and the Department believes its minimum needs this summer can be met largely with engineering students, according to Charles Nelson, personnel officer. He said the decision was being announced now so that other young people contemplating applying for jobs with the Department would have an opportunity to seek employment elsewhere.

File Returns Early IRS Director Pleads In a special plea to Virginia taxpayers today, IRS District Director, James P. Boyle asked taxpayers expecting refunds on their 1967 tax returns to file them before April 5. Mr. Boyle explained that processing work in the Service Center is now at the lowest ebb in the filing period. Refunds on correctly prepared returns filed now will be issued within five weeks. Refund returns filed later may become intermirigled with the traditional last minute avalanche of returns and processing might be unavoidably delayed. Director Boyle admitted that Graves Mountain Lodge, Inc. Syria, Va., Opens Pool Membership The junior Olympic .swimming pool will open for operation the first of May on weekends, and seven days a week from Memorial Day to L a b o r Day. Weather permitting, the pool will be open from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. each day during full operation. Designed for safety and pleasure, there are four sections either roped or fenced off from each other. There is a large Kiddie Pool enclosed by a fence. This pool water is filtered out every two hours. The large pool is roped off into three sections: swimming, diving, and training. In the diving section there are two one-meter boards for diving. In the swimming section are two durable fiberglass slides with built-in water spray jets. Or.e is curved, the other straight. In the training area the water is from 2 to 3 feet deep. In the swimming area the water is 3 to 5 feet deep, and 8'2 feet in the diving area. Hob Camper will be the pool manager and swimming instructor. Ho holds both the Red Cross Life Saving ar.d Water Safety Instructor Certificates. Hob is a three-year member of the University* of Virginia swimming team.

The Lodge swim team will start practice around Jure 17 with meets to follow. The pool is lighted both inside and out for night swim ming. There is a modern bath house. We are taking memberships for the 1968 season now. This includes the swimming and other recreational facilities. There are two clay tennis courts, basketball court, volley ball, softball, and others available to pool members and overnight guests, only. Tennis instruction will be available to members this year. Those interested may contact Jim Graves at 923-4247 (home) or at the Lodge 923-4202 for application. The 1-odge opens April 5 to begin serving meals and overnight guests. After Memorial Day, we will be serving seven days a week. June 29th to August 10th we will have a boys’ camp. there was also a self ish motive in his request for immediate filing of refund returns. He e* planied that the skills of temporary Service Center employees have a tta in ed their seasonal peak. Unless an additional half million returns are received within the next few days, it will be necessary to release some of these employees until the deluge of returns expected during the closing d a y s of the filing period again flows into the Service Center. It will take several days after their recall to regain their present level of efficiency. He emphasized that experi ence has shown that taxpayers who prepare their returns under pressure of the April 15 deadline are, most prone to make omissions or errors on their returns. Errors further delay receipt of refunds. LIQUIDATION (SMC EEE Auction At 118 W. Spencer St., Culpeper, Va. Saturday, March 16 At 10:00 A.M.

SS Makes Higher Warnings Possible For older people and other beneficiaries who continue to work, the recent changes in social security will enable them to make more money and still draw some of all of their social security benefits. The amount of money a person can earn in a year and still draw all his social security benefits has been raised. Beginning with 1968, a person who makes as much as $1,680 can still collect all of his social security benefits. The old law had set that limit at $1,500, through 1967. Here’s how is now works. If you are working regularly and do not earn more than $1,680 a year in wages, you will receive all of your social security benefits each month. If you are working regularly and make more than $l,680j a year, $1 will be withheld from your benefits for each $2 you make over $1,680, and up to $2,880. If you make more than $2,880, $1 will be deducted from your benefits for each $1 you make above that amount However, regardless of your total earnings for the year, you will receive your social security check for any month in which you do not earn more than $140 in wages and are not active in self-employment. This means that you could HELP WANTED Car Salesman Mechanic Mechanic’s Helper —Apply In Person— CLORE PONTIAC CO. Culpeper, Va. Phone 825-9000 make any amount over $1,680 a year, and still receive your checks for any month that you do not work, but with deductions against the months you do work. Remember, there new provisions apply to earnings in 1968. The old law applies to earnings and benefits in 1967. As in the old law, there are no deductions taken from your social security benefits for any month after you reach 72, regardless of how much you earn in the year. The provisions of the retirement test apply also to dependents of people who a re receiving d i sa b i 1 ity benefits, but not to the disabled worker hirm self. Special rules, including medical considerations, apply to people who are receiving benefits because of disability. About 760,000 people across the country are expected to re-! ceive some $175 million inaddt! tional benefits during 1968,i as a result of this change.!
