Supervisors Adopt $762,775 Budget; Little Dissension Over Levy Increase The Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors adopted the $762,775 budget which had been proposed by a budget committee and included an increase in the levy to $5.00 for the 1968-69 fiscal year beginning in July. This action » occurred at the budget hearing which was incorporated with the regular Board meeting Fri day, June 7. There was little dissention from the public as less than a half dozen citizens were present for the public hearing. Increase in the total budget was $88,032 and the levy was increased $1.20, over the prior year. There was discussion by the public on equalization of taxes, It was explained by Board Chairman J. Newbill Miller that reassessment is in progress at present by a state accessor and at the conclusion a hearing will be conduct ed for the public. The vote was unanimous to have the two-mile buffer zone around the Town of Washington covered by the county subdivision ordinances. The town had requested this and the planning commission had also recommended this action be taken. Capt. L. B. Stuart ofAmissville was renamed to a seat on the Planning Commission. His term had just expired. A committee composed of C. J. Miller, Jr., Mrs. Virginia Miller and the Rev. Charles Glaenzer was named *o study the Washington Elementary School and make recommendations on the disposition of it. A like committee of R. E. Wood, C. E Johnson, Jr. and John Walker Jenkins was appointed to do the same concerning the Sperryville School. These build ings will be vacated with the opening of the consolidated school in the fall. Dumping facilities for the county, a perpetual item on the agenda, came u nd e r discussion. Col. Norman Wilbur, appointed to study the ails and cure, reported contact with a commercial refuse service in a nearby county. The firm supplies dumping units which would be placed in each community and which would be emptied and replaced weekly. It was thought nine units would be necessary to cover the courv ty and a rough estimate of yearly costs of such a service would be about $7800.00. A representative of the refuse company will appear at the July meeting of the Board for further discussion. A hospital bill submitted by the Welfare Department was approved for payment as were current obligations approved before adjournment.

Hunting, Fishing Licenses On Sale Hunting, fishing and trapping licenses for the 1968-69 fiscal year have been distributed to license agents and clerks throughout Virginia and may now be purchased, according to Game Commission Fiscal Division Chief Sam J. Putt. The new licenses are not valid, however, until July 1. Fishing with an expired license is one of the most common violations each July so it behooves sportsmen, especially anglers, to get their new licenses before their old ones expire. Licenses are sold by over 300 county circuit and city corporation court clerks and agents strategically located throughout the state. A listing of places where hunting, fishing and trapping licenses may be obtained, is available from most sporting goods stores or from the Game Commission’s Richmond office.

Under 1% in County Of Foreign Stock NEW YORK, June 8 - How many of the people who have come to the United States from other countries in the last few decades have settled in Rappahannock County? What is the proportion of foreign-born in the local population as compared with the proportions in other areas? The subject comes to the fore at this time because of the new immigration law, which will go into effect on July 1st. Under its terms, the entire system of admitting immigrants, in operation for more than 43 years, will be changed as of that date. No longer will visas be issued on the basis of hational quotas. Instead, first preference will be given to people who have close relatives in this country The objective is to reunite families that were divided when earlier generations of immigrants came here. Preference will also be given to people with special training and skills, insofar as they are needed and do not threaten the jobs of workers here. In Rappahannock County, ao cording to the Census Bureau’s most recent figures^ (Continued on Page 6) USD A Maps Commodity Distribution Plan for ‘Hungry’ Rappahannock Based on per capita income in Rappahannock of a 1960census, the county was included in the "hungry’* counties named by the U. S. Department of Agriculture. This made Rappahannock eligible to participate in a food stamp program or commodity distribution program, both of which were rejected by the Board of Supervisors here. It was not mandatory that the county participate, however, if we did not wish to do so, the alternative is that the Agriculture department will come to the county and set up a program. This the Dcpatment of Agriculture is doing and action began Monday with the arrival here of William Richards from the Atlanta U.S.D.A office; Forrest Fraley, the Washington office and Richard Hood of the Chicago office. Mr. Williams states that all who are already on public assistance are eligible for the commodity distribution program which they will initiate here and that there is an anticipated 600 people of 125 families who will beaccommo dated. Other low income fa mi lies may make application for the program also. He indicated that the food will be shipped here from the Richmond, Va. warehouse and includes 16 food products. A building is being sought for use as a distribution pointand two local people will be employed to operate the distribution plant in addition to some part-time help on occasions. Along with the distribution of Food there will be a program of education on nutrition and making the best use of resources, said Mr. Williams, ind assistance is anticipated From the local Extension and Welfare departments.

Look but Don’t Touch Young Wildlife Wildlife babies are best left in the woods where they are well equipped to survive, advises the Virginia Game Com mission. In spring and early summer, young wild animals begin to appear in profusion in accordance with nature's plan. These youngsters, not so wise as their parents, are much more prone to come into contact with man. Their lack of fear and seeming helplessness tempts humans to adopt them as family pets, but most persons are not properly trained or equipped for a role as a foster parent for a wild animal. Once removed from their native element and subjected to captive conditions, most wild animals can never return to nature. They require special ized quarters and diets, they are nervous and usually become mean before reaching adulthood so they don’t make good pets. Most die early in their captivity because of improper care. Those that survive and are later released usually run afoul of humans, dogs, cats or wild predators and, lacking their natural fear are soon dispatched. Although young wild animals often appear to be abandoned, the wild mother is usually hid ing nearby too timid to approach humans to defend her young. Sometimes even handling the young will so contaminate them with human scent that the mother will abandon them. Capturing and holding a wild animal in captivity is a crime of the same magnitude as kill ing it, in the face of the law. Game wardens are empowered to confiscate such animals and summons their owners to court. In the case of genuine orphans, as when the mother is killed in anacci dent, the local game warden will be glad o to pick up the foundlings anti take them to a zoo or other animal facility where they will receive proper care. Eye Bank Board Chrm. Lauds Lions Richmond, Va, — The Old Dominion Eye Bank is completing its biggest, most productive year in history. Board Chairman Jack L. Middleton told the Lions of Virginia, assembled in Richmond for their 1968 State Convention. Middleton gave full credit to the 6500 Lions Club members of Eastern Virginia who support the eye bank financially and who also provide the major source of eye donor pledges for the bank. Since July 1, 1967, said Mid dleton, the Old Dominion Eye Bank has handled 215 donor eyes, as compared with 160 for the entire previous fiscal year. Of these, the Eye Bank Board Chairman said, 85 eye corneas were used for sightrestoring corneal transplant operations. In his report to the Lions Convention, Middleton stated that the financial support pro vided by the Lions Clubs of Eastern Virginia also set a new all-time record. With the fiscal year not yet complete, donations to the Eye Bank from Lions Clubs totalled $42,185,25 — an increase of approximately $8,000 over last year. Middleton also reported a total of 2,326 new eye-donor pledge cards received *■- bring Ing to over 25,000 the number of pledge cards on file at the Eye Bank. Noting that there is a loss of about 10% in donors each year--because of donors transferring residence to ano ther state or because of the failure of next of kin to carry out the wishes of the donor — Middleton pointed out that the Eye Bank’s greatest need is for a substantial increase in the number of eye-donor pledges on file. He asked the assembled Lions to make special appeals to the public to Join this crusade to restore sight to the blind by requesting a donor card from any member of a Lions Club or by writing directly to the Old Dominion Eye Bank, 408 North 12th St. Richmond, Virginia 22319.

Lawnmower Mishaps Can Be Avoided Both machinery and people contribute to power lawnmower accidents, the current issue of the Virginia Health Bulletin states, with up to 80,000 accident victimsa year in the United States as a result. The “close relationship public health workers have with the individual and his environment" is cited by the State Department of Health publication in its discussion of the concern caused by the increasing number of accidents involving power mower injuries. State and local health departments seek to make people aware of the accident prob lem; assist in bringing about corrections of potential safety hazards; and motivate individuals to develop safe hazard^ the Bulletin states. It notes that mower injuries happen both to operators and bystanders, and to both experienced and inexperienced operators. It adds, however, that “a disproportionately large number of accidents happen to persons under 21 years of age, indicating that this is not a machine to put into the hands of an inexperienced person." The publication states that evidence indicates almost 70 per cent of injuries involve direct contact with the mower blade, with the remainder IIMtlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllUIIIIIIIIIIIII imiiimiiiiiimiiimiiimmmumiumii The measure of a man MiimmiiiiNiimmiiimmm clubman9 sportcoats Measure up I Measure up to Qubmant Join the growing ranks of men who know the meaning of fine sportcoats.

Slow Movers Will Get New Emblem The triapgular slow moving vehicle emblem Is beginning to appear more frequently on Virginia highways due largely to the determined efforts of a group of rural ladies. The Women’s Committee of the Virginia Farm Bureau Federation has undertaken a campaign to make highway driving safer through the use of these emblems. “Slow moving vehicles are not just a rural problem,” said Miss Betty L. Walters, chairman of the VFBF Women’s Committee. “A slow moving vehicle, which is not properly identified, is a hazard to both the operator and the motorist on Virginia’s highways.” These women are urging each of the 87 county Farm Bureaus to start a campaign within each county to have a slow moving vehicle emblem on all farm equipment. Some government agencies throughout the state have adopted the fluorescent orange and red triangle for their slow moving vehicles. The Virginia Department of Highways is using the emblem on some of its equipment. Some counties in the state are using the emblem on all of their heavy vehicles. Traffic studies show that two out of three highway acci dents involving slow moving vehicles are rear end collisions. It is for this reason that the Farm Bureau ladies are urging the widespread use of the SMV emblem. Already they have convinced 16 county Farm Bureau boards of directors to join the campaign. The use of this emblem is required by law in many states across the country. It is mandatory in those states that all vehicles designed to travel 25 mph on open highway use the 16 by 14 inch emblem on the rear of the vehicle. Nineteen state departments of highways have adopted the jse of this emblem for use on their maintenance equipment. The first newspaper in Kansas was the Shawnee Sun, printed in the Shawnee Indian language for members of that tribe in 1835. It wasn’t until 1854 that Kansas got its first Englishlanguage paper.

' To some readers this issue of Rappahannock News may seem about as usual but to printers and staffs, past and present, the issue is naked. Since the publishing of Vol. I, No. 1 in November 1949, this is the first issue of Rappahannock News that does not have Bradley Atkins’ advertisement. Bradley Atkins was loyal. “Is that paper going to say Rappahannock right across the top?" “Yes, sir.” “That’s good. As long as it says Rappahannock, it’s worth its weight in gold.” He supported his paper faithfully. Lifetime Hunting, Fishing License Virginia senior citizens will be able to purchase a lifetime hunting, fishing and trapping license on and after July 1, Game Commission Executive Director Chester F. Phelps announced. The license will be embossed with the State Seal and laminated in plastic for durability. Only residents 70 years of age and over will be entitled to purchase the $5 lifetime license. It will satisfy all Virginia hunting, fishing and trapping license requirements except for County Damage stamps, National Forest stamps and daily permits. Residents in this age group are currently entitled to fish without a license anywhere in the State, but they may only hunt and trap without a license on private lands in their county of residence. The lifetime license serves as a ready means of identification for these folks and extends these privileges statewide without reservation. It is also somewhat of a status symbol because only surviving 70 years in the battle of life makes one eligible. All of the laminated licenses will be issued from the Richmond office. Eligible persons may pick up applications at license vendors or from the Fiscal Division, Virginia Com THE VILLAGE SHOP | Main Street Flint Hill More Cut Glass I —Come Seel Tues. thru Sat. 10 a.m.- 6 p.m. mission of Game and Inland Fisheries, P.O.

Wallace Russell, right, of Russell Brothers, Flint Hill, measures the tread on tires of the patrol car of Trooper J. B. Willis. Tread is measured with a gauge calibrated in thirty-seconds of an inch. Another law passed allows an official inspection station to make a charge of $2 for each inspection.

Wool Incentive Support Prices A shorn wool incentive price of 69 cents a pound for 1969 marketings, an increase of 2 cents a pound over the present level, was announced today by the U. S. Department of Agriculture. The price of pulled wool will be supported at a level comparable to the incentive price for shorn wool. Shorn wool payments will be equal to a percentage of each producer’s returns from sales. The percentage will be that required to raise the national average price received by all producers from shorn wool up to the announced 69 cents a pound incentive price. The wool payment program was initiated as the most practical method of supporting pro ducers wool prices thereby increasing income with the goal of a continuing domestic production of wool. The 1969 support program will be carried out under the National Wool Act of 1954, as amended by the Food and Agriculture Act of 1965, which extends the wool and mohair payment program through 1969 and prescribes a formula' which sets the support price for wool. Payments to producers on the 1969 calendar year marketings will be made beginning in April 1970. Applications for such payments must be filed not later than January 31, 1970.

Gods are generally thought of as having or being in authority. Is the present rebellion against all forms of authority extending to the gods? Not long ago there was a rumore that God is dead. What assassin killed HIM? I think that we had better revive Him, in our hearts anyway. Man is so constituted he cannot live without his gods. A long time ago there was a man who was called the Son of God, an advocate of love and peace. He was killed, too.

Phone VA5-8S8S Culpeper, VaJ “A Jungle of Curled Thistles” might well be the title of this picture snapped by Jim Bill Coates last week at the R. C. Kuhn farm located between Massie’s Corner and Ben Venue. No grazing for livestock here! This infestation was located by Extension Agent Lyne several weeks ago. By the time he was able to contact the absentee owner, it was too late for effective chemical control. Mr. Kuhn has since mowed the area thereby preventing seed, formation. He plans to apply 2,4-D in November. t ‘Too late for chemical control, too many to grub!,” says Extension Agent Bill Lyne. With an infestation of curled thistle such as this, all anyone can do at this stage of maturity is to clip with a mower or bush-hog and thereby prevent seed being spread to other lands. Incidentally, Lyne said, he got into the picture just to show how rnnk this dreaded plant pest can grow. Here 10 to 15 acres were completely “taken” by the thistles. The Picture was snapped last week by Jim Bill Coates, ASCS Office Manager. He suggests anyone else interested in getting a picture like this to wear hip boots before wading into such a spiny mass of weeds. ASCS cost-share practice B-12, “controlling noxious •veeds in order to protect soil or water resources” includes chemical thistle control. Applications should be made now through his office for chemical treatment in November. -----1-_ County Court Judjjt1 'I'. ('.
