VOLUME XIX. NUMBER 32 WASHINGTON. VIRGINIA THURSDAY, JUNE 6, 1968 l()c Copy mere's rock in them lhar hillt — Portions of Ihe new dual laning on Route 211 will have an extremely solid foundation. Construction crews drill and blast away in some sections where the hillsides are solid rock and dump it into the lower sections which need building up. The top photo shows the drills making holes foi1 charges of dynamite. The holes looked to be about five feet apart and about 120 holes are shot at once. Below is a sample of some ot1 the shattered rock being hauled away. These chunks are small compared to some at the site which have to be broken into smaller pieces for handling with dozers $2,880 Locally for Basic Family Needs NEW YORK, May 11-How much is the average family in Rappahannock County spending these days for the basic necessities of living—food, clothing and shelter? Approxi mately $2,880 per year. How much does it have left, after those outlays and after taxes, for other spending? About $1,740. These estimates are based upon national surveys by the Labor Department and other agencies to determine what change?, if any, have been tak ing place in family budgeting Although prices have gone up considerably in the local area in recent years, as they have elsewhere, it appears that Rappahannock County families have more money at their disposal today, after providing for the necessities, than they ever had. This is the case despite the fact that they have upgraded their tastes and standards of living and are, therefore, spending more for these necessities. The studies show that even though the budget of the average family is nearly 50 percent higher than it was in 1959 the economic squeeze is not very different than it was then The will to spend has risen in tandem with the ability to do so, says the Labor Department The latest findings are that the typical non-farm family in the United States devotes 23.2 percent of its budget to food, 24.1 percent to housing and 10.6 percent to clothing. In Rappahannock County, this “m u s t * spending amounted (Continued on Page 6) Cil Davis leaves her home in Washington, Va.

Final Official Tabulation of Virginia Traffic Deaths for ’67 Totalled at 1,223; Increase of 10 Is Noted Final official tabulation of Virginia’s 1967 traffic deaths stands at 1,223, to mark a 10.6 percent increase over the 1,106 experienced in 1966 and the highest toll in the history of the Commonwealth, Colonel H. W. Burgess, Superintendent of State Police and Chairman of the Governor’s Highway Safety Committee, announced today. “This marks the seventh consecutive year of increase," he said, noting that there were 756 deaths in 1960, 856 in 1961, 974 in 1962, 989 in 1963, 1,050 in 1964 and 1,062 in 1965. Highest toll previously was 1,110 in 1941. Three counties, Bath, Craig and Lancaster experienced no fatalities. This was the seventh consecutive year for Craig. Forty-three showed increases, 43 decreases and 10 recorded the same numbers as in 1966. In Rappahannock County in 1967 there were two traffic fatalities as compared to 5 the year before. For the seventh consecutive year, Fairfax led, this time with 62, while Prince William was second with 37. On the basis of deaths per 100 million miles of travel (mileage death rate), Charles City, with 6 killed and a rate of 25.2, had the worst record while Mecklenburg, with 30 killed and a rate of 18.9, was second worst. Of the three counties experiencing no deaths, Lancaster was accorded the best record, since more travel was experiended there than in the other deathless counties. Greatest increases we ret shown by Pittsylvania (13-34), Mecklenburg (13-30), Prince William (23-37) and Giles (415). Notable decreases occurred in Henrico (31-19), Warren (14-4) and Campbell (2011). For cities with populations above 50,000, Portsmouth had the best record with eight deaths and a rate, based on deaths per 100,000 population, of 6.8. (Mileage death rates are computed from gas tax receipts. This is impractical in cities). Worst was Virginia Beach with 40 deaths and a rate of 30.3. A decrease was noted only by Norfolk (46-33). Increases occurred inAlexandria (7-18), Chesapeake (19-24), Hampton (8-18), Lynchburg (3-8), Richmond (28-37), Roanoke (7-8) and Virginia Beach (24-40). Portsmouth, with 8, and Newport News, with 18, showed no change. Pedestrian deaths throughout the entire state numbered 217, or 35 more than in 1966. Deaths of servicemen rose from 70 to 76, those of bicyclists dropped from 13 to 12 and those at railroad crossings were up from 16 to 21. Motorcycle deaths were up from 26 to 46. The state s mileage death rate was up from 5.1 to 5.2 below the national average of 5.5 and traffic volumes Increased 9.3 percent. Total crashes dropped from 116,275 to 111,061 and 1,005 of these, as against 908 in 1966, resulted In the deaths of one or more persons each. Injuries increased from 41,849 to 43,122 while economic losses stood at $230 million, an increase of $30 million. The drop In total crashes reflects the raising of the amount of damage at which a crash must be reported from $50 to $ 100. Nop-collision fatal crashes, or those involving contact with no other vehicle, pedestrian or other object in the highway, rose from 389 to 426 and killed 506 people. Colonel Burgess noted that the state was again unfortunate in that crashes killing more than one person each increased from 133 which killed 331 ih 1966 to 146 killing 362. One of these killed six people and six killed five each. Here, he explained that the same driver fault can kill as many as happen to be in the involved vehicles and who do nothing Report Two Collisions On Holiday Weekend Two vehicles collided Thursday on a narrow portion of Route 627 east of Washington without personal injury and minor property damage. Involved in the crash were Randal Updike of Washington operating a 66 Ford pick up and Mrs. Katherine Oettingen of Washington, D. C. and Wash, ington, Va. driving a 66 Ford Thunderbird. Damage was esti mated at $150 and $200 respectively, according to Trooper W. A. Buntin. No charges were made. Sunday afternoon a collision occurred on Route 729, two miles west of Viewtown. Bob Dean Browning of Washington, D. C. operating a 65 Chevrolet station wagon and Kenneth M. Lappin of Towson, Md, driving a 65 Volkswagon station wagon ran together on a sharp curve. Browning applied his brakes a skidded into th< Lamppin vehicle, according to Trooper Buntin. Stephen Lamppin sustained a laceration of the forehead. Damage was set at $550 to the Chevro let and $400 to theVW. Brown ing was charged with failing to keep his vehicle under control.

Homemaker Safety Talk at Amissville Trooper J. B. Willis was the speaker at the Monday night meeting of the Amissville Homemakers Club with Safety as his topic.

The percentageof fatal crashes Involving drivers known to have been drinking was 35.7. In concluding, Col. Burgess said that his percentage is most conservative, as all facts are not known in all cases. The best estimates place It at more than 50. Commencement Exercises Fri. Night For 38 Graduates of R.

2 THE RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS, Washington, Va. Thursday, June 6, 1968 RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia TELEPHONE: WASHINGTON «75-M49 MRS. SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Entered as 2nd Class Mail at the Post Office at Washington, Va. Subscription Rate On Advance): $2.60 per year in Rappa hannock and adjacent counties; $3.00 elsewhere. Letter To Editor Dear Editor, Last week got off to a bad start. On Monday morning most of the world news was about war and riots. Then it was announced that our Nation’s Capital was curing its ills by aduing 1,000 policemen at the cost of 10 million dollars a year. I couldn’t help but think that surely all the howling, rioting people defying various laws weren't born bad. Maybe they needed some leadership and attention, and a few firm words about law and order when they were young. At 7 p.m., Monday, James J. Kilpatrick of Woodville came on Channel 7 and delivered some well chosen words on the recent disgraceful behavior of lawless students and spineless administrators in one of our oldest and largest universities I felt better. Then, on Thursday, I read the article in your paper on what one of our local churches is doing to help a growing group of our county teen-agers. These are our citizens of tomorrow who have the awesome job of paying off huge debts and of furnishing the moral leadership that will and must put us back as a nation that believes in Law and Order; people who are not ashamed to love their Coun. try, and who believe that God is still alive. These church folks right here at home may accomplish more real good this year than the 1,000 new policemen and the 10 million dollars down in Washington, D. C. I agree with the Rappahannock County Farm Bureau that "our children are our most important crop", and suggest that we help give them the proper environment. Give them the right leadership, and help them to help themselves. We own several pieces of school property that are now surplus. Wouldn’t It be fine if all the churches in the county had the use of one of these properties, to establish and operate a Rappahannock County Youth Center? A Rappahannock Parent Red Cross Appeals For Blood Donors A plea to residents of this area planning their vacations to include a blood donation in their preparations was issued today by the American Red Cross. Pointing out that, “accidents and illness never take a holiday, ” Dr. Evan C. Stone, Jr., area medical director of the Red Cross Blood Program, Eastern Area, said that blood donations invariably dwindle to their lowest point in the summertime, while the need for blood, mainly because of summer highway accidents, frequently increases. Basing his estimate on the July-August accident rates ot other years, Dr. Stone In his Alexandria, Va., headquarters said that motor vehicle fatalities across the United States in the two-month period are expected to be around 9,000 "with disabling injuries, many of them requiring immediate blood transfusions, correspondingly high.’* “The solution is for a 11 healthy Americans, age 18 through 60, to donate blood to the Red Cross or their community blood bank before leaving for their vacations," Dr. Stone said. "It will be for their own protection as well as for others.’ Dr. Stone stressed, however that it is essential to the Red Cross to maintain a constant uniform blood supply throughout the year. Donors are encouraged to make their dona* tions on a regularly scheduled basis, so that blood will never be in short supply, he said. Red Cross regulations per mit donors to give a unit of blood every two months, but no more than five times a year. > Dacron and Cotton Vi Sizes 14.00 look for these special custom built features: notched colter button front kick pleats self-belt and pearli/ed buttons RappChats Bv W.

Be sure and contact this office (675-3619) should a disease or insect problem arise. All roadside markets in the Sperryville area were contacted this week relative to receiving “Roadside Marketing Tips" by James Bell, Extension Specialist, Fruit and Vegetable Marketing. A Mrs. Richards of McLean wrote, “I recently visited the square thereafter office hours and saw the lovely garden you have. I have never seen “Coral Bells" in such a dark pink. Is this some new variety? Do you recommend any special fertilizer for Coral Bells?" Thanks for the compliment, Mrs. Richards, or is it Miss, however, we can’t claim any credit. All we did was plant them and added a little 5-10-10 each spring before growth starts. The credit goes to those fine Oak Forest Gardens plants. We do agree with the “passer by* in thinking the blossoms are pretty and add to the attractiveness of “the Square". Chester Gap To Hear Safety Program There will be a special meet ing at the Chester Gap Fire Hall, Thursday, June 13 at 7:30 on “Safety and Protection for Women in the Home and on the Highway." A State Trooper will be there to conduct the program, and everyone Is invited and urged to attend. This meeting is sponsored by the Homemakers Club. Mrs. Cordle Hostess for Dessert Bridge Mrs. W. H. Cordle was hostess at Dessert Bridge on Friday night at her home near Sperryville. Her guests included Mrs. Brown Miller, Mrs. E. A. Montague, Mrs. Mary Quaintance, Mrs. Roy L. Reeve, Mrs. R. E. Thompsen, Mrs. Charles Estes, Mrs. R. E. Wood, Mrs. R. E. Patzig, Mrs. Elmo Flynt, Mrs. E. A. McNear, Mrs. Ralph Styer, Mrs. Carroll Quaintance, Mrs. T. J. Pillar and Mrs. Harry Love. High scorers were Mrs. Mary Quaintance and Mrs. Patzig. Bingo was won by Mrs. Wood. Tuberculin Testing Completed in Area Tuberculin testing has been completed for 8112 individuals in eight counties served by the Tuberculosis andHealthAssociation of Northern Virginia including those five under Health Director, Dr. Leon A. Dickerson. Mrs. Helen Rodgers and Byron A. Skeens of the State Health Department worked with local public health nurses school nurses. Tuberculosis staff, volunteers and school authorities during the past three months. Of the 8112 tested over a 7-month period, 6087 were 1st and 8th graders In public schools, 105 in private schools and 1772 were cafeteria workers, other school personnel plus 148 migrant workers. Thirty-nine reactors were found among the youth and 261 In the "other" groups tested. All reactors are being given further tests by the Health Department to see If the germs present have damaged the lungs. Percentages of participants among those eligible In the 1st and 8th grades by school systems are: Clarke County, 80%; Fauquier, 83%; Frederick County, 91%; Loudoun County, 75%; Page County, 79%; Rappahannock County, 84%; Shenandoah County, 85%; Warren County, 91%; City of Winchester, 87%; Sacred Heart Academy, 79%; Powahatan, 76%; John S. Mosby Academy, 61%; and Stanley Junior Academy, 100%. The Tuberculosis Association is most grateful to all of the official and volunteer personnel who assisted In this gigantic operation.

In this age of automation, much of the work is done by electronic machines. But people are still important. If the person receiving benefits does not report events that affect his right to these check6 needless delays in monthly payments may occur. When a person files a claim to receive social security benefits, he receives information about what events to report. Social Security representatives at the district office in Winchester suggest that the beneficiary periodically review this information to avoid such de 'ays. One very important event to report immediately iB a change of address. If this is done before the 15th of the month, it is very likely the next check will come to the new address when expected. Another event requiring a report is a return to work, if earnings are expected to be over $1680. for the year. This applies to all beneficiaries, unless they are over age 72 all months of the year. Disability beneficiaries must report their return to work regardless of how much they expect to earn. Payments for children under 18 are generally made to an adult, who has the responsibility of reporting the death, marriage, adoption, or change in work status or address of the child. A mother under 62 must report if her minor child leaves her care. These events may affect both child’s and mother’s benefits.

North of Culpeper on Routes 15-29 Phone VA 5-8381 Culpeper, Va. Hi, Let’s talk about golf. It must be an interesting game. It is played by presidents, kings and nobles of all sorts; even by the hoipolloi. A golf pro friend tried to teach me the game. He told me how to stand, how to grip the club, to follow through. When my swing was complete, he remarked if I had hit the ball it would have landed in the next county. But, there it lay looking back at me. That reminds me of the secre tary who thought her boss’s favorite pasttime of shooting golf, was killing the little bulgy eyed rascals. Collecting their eyeballs for trophies, no doubt. One day she entered the office for dictation, noticing a couple of said trophies on the boss’s desk she said brightly, “Well boss, I see you shot another golf." a colleague ot mine wno nad had a larynx operation was an avid golfer. He also liked to sing in his gravelly way. Have you ever heard a rock crusher singing The Ballad of the Green Berets? Once he told me, in his inimitable way, of the pleasure he derived from playing golf. He said he didn’t play so much for a low score, he just thought the sphere, was so pretty rolling across the green. I asked if it didn’t roll just as prettily weekdays or after church services on Sunday. He said, "Si, when I'm home I go to church with my wife every Sunday, when I’m away I play golf. I said “AMEN!” Comforting thing—going to church with the family. Might boost the preacher’s morale to know he is competing favor ably with this popular game. Mrs. F. W.

You should be planning NOW for the future and event ual retirement. You owe it to yourself and your loved ones to make the best plans possible. One of_the really important things you will want to do is to establish your eligibility for social security benefits and Medicare. That’s right. You can establish your eligibility for social security bene fits and Medicare and continue working. There are several advantages in doing this now. It’s possible that some social security benefit payments may be made while you continue working. Once your claim is filed, the Social Security Ad ministration will determine what monthly benefit payments may be made, if any, and you won’t have to wonder about it. If your earnings are too high to permit payment of monthly benefits now, they will be started when you notify the Social Security Administration that you have reduced your earnings below specified levels, retired, or when you reach age 72 regardless of your earnings. The Medicare provisions will become effective with your 65th birthday whether you are receiving monthly benefit payments or not. It is necessary however to file a claim if you’re to be covered by the Medicare provisions. When you contact the Social Security office to file your claim, you will talk with a representative whose profess ional interest is social securl ty and its related service to the public. You will probably find out some things about this important and complex subject which you were not aware of. A possible example of this is the social security definition of “retirement*. It’s rather complicated and will not be stated here but it’s of vital concern to you and you should let a representative discuss it with you. You are urged to contact your social security office at the earliest opportunity. The staff will be glad to assist you. You may call at the office, telephone, or write. Your Social Security District Office is located at 20 S. Cameron St., Winchester, Va., telephone 667-1511.

Like other plants I'd guess they prefer living on deep fertile soil with an abundance of water. On the other hand, these conditions can be had just as readily on a small lot as they can on a 2000 acre beef cattle farm in full operation. Soooo don’t say -- I’m not farming so I’m not concerned about thistles. Don’t say -- Thistles are already here, you can’t get over all of Rappahannock with machinery so why bother to spray at all. Don’t say -- Oh, what a beautiful flower! Just what I need for those dried arrangements this fall. Musk and Curled thistles are weed pests much to be dreaded. Be a good neighbor. Control yours — keep your plants and seeds at home. The only good thistle is dead thistle!!!! They can take the land. No animal will graze close to them. One or the other has been observed by your scribe at Mrs. Lelia Noye’s place, on Bernie Dahlgren’s farm. One field on the Schaefer farm west of Washington is heavily infested with Curled thistle. Mrs. James Jamieson became concerned after attending our F’asture Weed Control Demonstration at Fletchers where both Musk and Curled thistle were observed. Two fields at High Thicket were later found to be infested - one heavily. Bill Lyne did some hand spraying for weed control on his lot and lawn. Both Curled and Bull thistle were found in the backyard. Seeds may have been carried across the mountain from Browntown by wind or from anywhere higher up HEADQUARTERS for Orchard Chemicals Wc maintain complete inventories and will deliver to your farm.

Bill Fannon now has all three on the "Long* land. This property, heavily infested 5-6 years ago with only Bull Thistle, now has Curled and Musk. Dolmont has the worst infestation noted so far; about 10 acres so thick with Curled thistle a cow couldn’t get her nose to the ground even where a little grass was showing. But no - solid thistles. In fact the only field checked that proved negative was Red Payne’s front pasture and we wouldn't guarantee there were none. None were seen, however. At Dolmont alone enough seed could be produced to heavily infest all of Rappahannock and Culpeper County too. Some vigorous plants have been known to produce 42,000 seeds in a single year. The average is around 17,000. All come equipped with the best parachute ever, which, when *ripe", may be blown miles by the mildest of breezes. The Point. Don’t Let These Thistles Go To Seed. The most effective control program is one that idenifies and kills the first thistle plant before it blooms. ASCS practice B-12 helps share-cost for chemical control. Mrs. Voigt, Col. McNear, Mr. Varner, Judge Snead, E. F. Cannon, Billy Fannon have applied to the County Committee through Jim Bill Coates. Around 300 acres already have been spray ed. Just now about 175-225 more acres applied for. May 25 is final ASCS date for spraying. The sooner you do HILLSDALE I DRIVE-IN THEATRE!
