After the war, however, the church experienced genuine revival and baptisms averaged 25 to 30 per year. Following the first World War, membership declined over half, but in 1967 the roster showed a total of 219 members.

All present and former Club members and others wanting to join or learn more abouttheClub program should be present. Items to be brought before the group include election and installation of officers, selection of name for club and a brief explanation of project areas. Rep. Marsh Speaker At Ruritan Meeting Itep. John O. Marsh, Jr., said in Amissville Wednesday night that “proper management of federal tax revenues demands that the Congress move to wipe out the present year’s ‘head start’ which the Executive Branch has on the allocation of this money. The 7th District Congressman, a member of the House Appropriations Committee, explained that, “unaware to most citizens, program planners in the Executive Branch are estimating revenues, and deciding how the money should be spent, approximately a year before the Congress gets a chance to act on appropriation bills”. “This is a reasonable procedure from the standpoint of the bureaucrats, but the Congress should establish parallel procedures so that it will have as much information - and as soon- as the executive departments and agencies on anticipated revenues and the forward projections of the costs of federal programs," Marsh said. He spoke at a dinner meeting of the Amissville Ruritan Club in the fire hall here. “The record of recent years reflects dramatically how some federal programs can explode in scope and cost in a relatively short time,” Marsh noted; “the Congress, faced with a budget ‘package’ which includes revenue estimates it has not made, and which it does not have the resources to contradict, and with program cost estimates which, likewise, it has not equipped itself to confirm or contradict, has been relegated to the role of attempting, often inefficiently, selective budget cuts, or even less responsibly, across-the-board percentage cuts, which may well hurt ‘good’ programs too much and ‘bad’ programs too little.” “Congress should reassert itself in the determination of what the Federal Government is to do,” Marsh emphasized; “and I believe a growing number of members, of both political parties, are coming to the view that basic reforms are essential ” Chester Gap Firemen Carnival July 3*6 Chester Gap Fire Department and Rescue Squad will hold their annual carnival on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, July 3, 4, 5 and 6th with a gay slate of activities planned. In addition to the usual good food, rides, games and fun each night, a program of string music is scheduled for Wednesday’s opening night.

Climaxing the four fun filled and exciting nights will be the awarding of prizes Saturday. Grand prize, $25 cash.

Glaenzer Resigns As Bromfield Rector The Rev. Charles F. Glaenzer has announced his resignation as Rector of Trinity Episcopal Church, Bromfield Parish, effective as of July 31,1968.

Taxable Property $1,120 Per Person NEW YORK, June 24 - From the standpoint of property taxes, how are residents of Rappahannock County making out these days? What changes have taken place lately in property valuations in the local area? With people all over the country aroused over their steadily mounting real estate taxes, a look at the local assessment situation is in order. Such a look has just been taken by the Census Bureau as part of a nationwide survey of state and local government operations, which it makes every five years. Its findings are released in the “Census of Governments, 1967.” They show that, in Rappahannock County, where the property tax is the principal source of revenue for local government needs, the assessed value of property subject to such tax, came to $5,264,000, compared with the total reported five years before, $3,723,000. The increase in the period amounted to 41.4 percent. In the United States, the rise was 37.3 percent. The figures do not include property belonging to churches, nonprofit hospitals and public agencies that are generally exempt from taxation. Because property is usually assessed for tax purposes at something less than its actual value, this is not to be taken as the true market worth. Rather, it is the tax base against which local tax rates are applied. The tax rates used in connection with assessed value vary widely across the country. In some areas, where property is assessed at only a small fraction of real value, tax rates are often higher than in places where assessments are closer to true values. In terms of population, the tax base in Rappahannock Gounty was equivalent to $1,120 in taxable property per local resident. Not only are property valuations rising all 6ver the country, but the tax rates applied to them are going up as well. Local communities have been forced to take such action because of increased demands for service and because of the effects of inflation on their operating costs, which have been rapidly spiraling skyward. As a result of this trend, the revenue from property taxes throughout the United States has increased by nearly 10 percent during 1967 alone. Mrs. Ann C’unnon Thornhill was crowned Miss fin this case Mrs.) Washington School for Secretaries during commencement exercises held Friday at the Mayflower Hotel. She received her tiara from C. E.

The meeting which will be held at the fire hall begins at 7:30 p.m. All members are requested to attend. Facts Wanted for History of Schools With the closing in June of Sperryville and Washington schools, an era in education in Rappahannock County comes to an end. These schools served as high schools and grade schools for about three score years.

RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY HORNING At Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia TELEPHONE: WASHINGTON MRS. SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Entered as 2nd Class Mail at the Poet Office at Washington, ¥a. Subscription Rate On Advance): $2.60 per year in Rappa hannock and adjacent counties; $5.00 elsewhere. Fireworks Menace to Unsupervised Young “Unsupervised fireworks displays are a menace to the sight and safety of youngsters throughout the United States,” says the Virginia Society for the Prevention of Blindness. In a pre-Fourth-of-July safety message, S. Strother Smith, Jr., president, advises parents to give close supervision to childrens’ playtime activities during the national holiday period. “After every Fourth of July”, says Mr. Smith, “the Virginia Society receives far too many reports of young eyes damaged or blinded in fireworks accidents. These accidents can be avoided only if parents accept their responsibilities and cooperate with the authorities in enforcing fireworks laws.” 1116 National Society for the Prevention of Blindness has helped pioneer a model State Fireworks Law prohibiting sale and uncontrolled use of fireworks in 27 states. Federal legislation bans shipment of fireworks into states with legislation against them. The National Society advocates adoption of the model law by every state. The Virginia Society offers these hints to parents for a safe holiday celebration: (1) Don’t allow children to buy fireworks through the mail or from illicit dealers. (2) Help children to realize that fireworks are dangerous. (3) Don’t buy or use fireworks yourself. (4) Take your family to a public fireworks display where they can enjoy the show in safety. The Virginia Society is an affiliate of the National Society for the Prevention of Blindness, Inc., which is the oldest voluntary health agency nationally engaged in the prevention of blindness through a comprehensive program of community services, public and professional education and research. Dr. McCubbin Heads TB Advisory Committee Dr. H. Pearce Maccubbin of Winchester has accepted appointment as chairman of the Medical Advisory Committee of the Tuberculosis & Health Association of Northern Virginia, succeeding Dr. Robert S. Boyd who served in this capacity for three years. The local association will be represented on the Governing Council of the Virginia Thoracic Society, of which he is a member. The prominent physician received his M. D. from the University of Maryland in 1940 where he also served his Internship and residency. His specialty is internal medicine. Dr. Maccubbin is a member of the American College of Physicians, the Society of Internal Medicine and is a Fellow of the Department of Allergy. On the staff of Winchester Memorial Hospital, he is presently serving as a member of the Medical Auditing Committee. From The Home Agent's Fen By Miss Diane Brown The homemakers’ clubs of the county have as their theme this year “Home and Youth Development.“ After sharing the following rules for raising a delinquent with one group, several of the members requested I share it with others through this paper. Read through these 10 easy rules and see if you’re on the road to raising a delinquent. 1. Begin at infancy to give your child everything he wants. In this way, he will grow up to believe the world owes him a living. 2. When he picks up bad words, laugh at him. This will make him think he’s cute. 3. Never give him any spiritual training. Wait until he is twenty-one and then let him “decidefor himself.” 4. Pick up everything he leaves lying around - books, shoes, clothing. Do everything for him so that he will be experienced in throwingall responsibility on others. 5. Quarrel frequently in his presence. In this way, he will not be to shocked when the home is broken later. 6. Give a child all the spending money he wants. Never let him earn his own. Why should he have things as tough as you had them? 7. Satisfy his every craving for food, drink, comfort. Denial may lead to harmful frustrations. 8. Take his part against neighbors, teachers and policemen. They are all prejudiced against your child. 9. When he gets into real trouble, apologize for yourself by saying, “I never could do anything with him.” 10. Prepare for a life of grief. You are bound to have it. Author Unknown Lifetime License Response Gratifying The response to the Game Commission announcement that applications would be accepted for lifetime licenses in advance of the effective date of July 1 has been most gratifying, reports Fiscal Division Chief Sam Putt. Applications for the $5 permanent hunting, fishing and trapping license available to persons 70 and over may be obtained at license vendors or by mail. The laminated licenses are Issued only from the Game Commission’s Richmond office. Persons now 70 who wish to obtain the license are urged to get their applications in early to avoid delays later on which might force postponement of a hunting trip. Marshall King of Alexandria was" the week-end guest of Robert L. Brown in Woodville. Crop Wheat Allot. Reduced Nationally i Secretary of Agriculture, Orville L. Freeman, has announced the 1969-crop wheat program. It features a smaller national allotment of 51.6million acres. "The reduced 1969allotment." Freeman said, "will make it possible to strengthen farm prices and to reduce our carryover by around 100 million bushels." Freeman also said he is | establishing an export target of 750 million bushels for the | 1968-69 marketing year, and predicted that 1967’s export i goal of 750 million bushels I will be exceeded. Final official J figures will be available early | in July indicating shipments during the 12 months ending June 30, 1968. The 1969 wheat allotment is the same as for 1966 - down 13 percent from the 59.3 million acres in effect for the 1968 crop year. Diversion payments at the maximum rate authorized by law will be offered to farmers for planting less than their acreage allotment and diverting this land to conserving uses. Price support loans on 1969 crop wheat will continue to be available at a national average of $1.25 per bushel. Total price support equal to 100 percent of parity (as of July 1, 1969) will be available on 43 percent of the cooperating farm’s projected production on its allotted acreage. This compares to 40 percent in 1968. Domestic marketing certificates will make up the difference between parity and the loan rate. “Wheat growers," Secretary Freeman said, “can help achieve the 1969 goal by signing up in the voluntary program and by diverting to conserving use, for payment, an additional acreage below their allotment. The Secretary emphasized that program participation plus voluntary acreage diversion below allotments are key factors. “It will be up to the wheat growers, themselves, to take these actions if they want the program to be fully successful in reducing stocks and strengthening market prices for the 1969 crop of wheat." For 1969, a farmer may divert up to one-half his acreage allotment and will receive 50 percent of the county loan rate times the allotment acres diverted times the projected yield. Farms with 1969 allotments 21.7 acres or less will be able to divert the entire allotment for payment. Payment will be contingent upon a conserving use of diverted acreage. Other features of the 1969 wheat program will be much the same as those for the 1966 crop. Johnsons Entertain with Family Dinner Monday Mr. and Mrs. Robert Johnson of Luray entertained with a family dinner Monday evening. Their guests included Mr. and Mrs. G. H.

Keim has dubbed me Mr. Thithle, Okay! It my needling people into spraying, grubbing, preventing Musk and Curled thistle from blooming and making seed is as prickly as the spines of these thistle we’ll have the movingest control program in the state. What could be better? Okay. I’m Mr. Thithle. My good friend, Mrs. Mary Jamieson, was by to say they had grubbed all their thistle. Herbert Foster has gangs grubbing his acreages. Jim Bill Fletcher, Lester Dodson, Mrs. Frances Salter, New Jones are grubbing and we hope burning the blossoms. Why in this day of modem agriculture write about grubbing thistle? Simply at this season there is no other way of getting rid of ‘em. Last week I went to Ray Cannon’s to observe results of his freeze branding (an excellent job Ray) found Jim and Donna grubbing thistle. Saw they had mostly Bull thistle in back of their jeep so suggested Jim take a peep at Musk thistle blossom in burlap bag in back of my pickup. Jim did. What’s this feather? The blossoms had matured and there was a sack full of downy seed ready to fly high wide and hideous over the county side. I sat on that bag until getting to Dennis’ store; purchased half gallon of kerosene and had a bon fire in the heart of Scrabble. Boy, if I could just get Mr. Kilpatrick to writing on thistle control. What wouldn’t it mean financially to the people of Virginia. Mrs. Jesse L. Ward is grubbing and burning thistle bloom; any that show any pink coloring at all. Says she’ll be ready to do custom digging as soon as she finishes at Echo Hill Farm. “Keeps me in trim and I’ve learned some effective tricks in doing the job.” Was by to see Thomas Taylor about another weed problem. What do you know? There were Mrs. Taylor, the two boys and Thomas all going to grub thistle and mullein! That’s what I call family effort in getting a job done. Across the road from the race course at Double Gates, there is another big patch. Sick 'em Jim Bill! They’re in full bloom now on top of a hill at the Updike farm (Coates place) are musks thistles justa bloomin and a ripening. Possibly Lee Payne could organize a horseback thistle-bloom gathering team. It would sure prevent downwind seeding of other farms. And that stitch-in-time. OMaybe he and Mr. Lane will seed lower Rappahannock. Time will tell. Down wind from here Cleve Ramey - a man with the hoe! Digging Musk and Curled thistle from “this land I love”.

It will continue as the feature at the new building. Health Tips From AMA Had your first sunburn of ! the season yet? If so, read on and find out how it happened. If not, read on, and possibly pick up some pointers on how to avoid or minimize sunburn. Actually, a suntan has no real health value. But there may be a psychological therapeutic result in the sense of relaxation and well being gained from basking in the warm sunshine, if it isn't overdone. Over-exposure to the hot sun can cause burns, as almost everyone has found out. Less known is the fact that continued over-exposure over a period of years can cause the skin to look weatherbeaten, wrinkled, leather)' and coarse in texture. The time of day of exposure is important. The burning ultraviolet rays are most intense from ! 1 a m. to 2 p.m. No sunburn is likely before 8 a m. and after 4 p.m. High noon is the hottest time of day for sunburn. Rays reflected from sand or water can burn, even though you may not be directly exposed. Individual sensitivities differ. You must to some extent learn for yourself how much sun you can tolerate. A general guide for most persons, assuming that previously untanned white skin is exposed about noon, is: First day, expose skin to sun for 15 to 20 minutes. This means 15 to 20 minutes each on face and back. Second day, increase exoosure bv one-third, to a little 1C» Uidli iiau an *»««* u“ '-wv“ side. Third day, again increase exposure by one-third—to 30 or 40 minutes. And so on. By the fourth day, a new pigment should begin to darken your skin. In a week you should have enough skin thickening and pigmentation to give considerable protection against burning sunshine. Most of the suntan lotions contain chemicals called sunscreens, which absorb various wave lengths of burning ultraviolet rays to various degrees. The better lotions allow you to stay in the sun longer with not shut out all radiation, or else you would never tan at all. There’s no really good way to tell which of the suntan lotions is most effective for you until you try them. The suntan pills, used under medical supervision and obtained by prescription, can help “easy burners’’ be better protected against painful burn while acquiring a tan. They are not for self-dosage. If you do get sunburned, treat it as you would any other ^ burn. Use soothing lotions to ™ ease the pain. If the burn is unusually intense, see a doctor.

Tornado Devastates Property in Nearby Madison THIS HOUSE UNDER CONSTRUCTION was more than 40 percent completed when the tornado struck. The picture speaks for itself. Builder Horace Tanner and owner Russell Aylor are starting all over again. -- i _ REMAINS OF A NEW TRAILER are scattered over an area of about 150 feet x 400 feet with only its furnace left in recognizable condition. Mr. and Mrs. Lyle C. Smith, standing amidst the ruins, and who were married in May, purchased the trailer only abjbut a month ago. Although secured to a permanent foundation, it was overturned with the young couple in it—and then the continued battering simply disintegrated it. The Smiths crawled to the ground and lay there until the worst was over. Mrs. Smith said the only time she was terribly frightened was when her husband crept back tq the ruins in an effort to find a towel so she could wrap it around her head as a protection from the hail. She was afraid lightning would strike him. Mr. Smithy said he was too busy to be scared. When the worst was over, they went to the home of a brother, Robert W. Smith, next door, and from there they expect to stay in the Home of their father, Charlie Smith, until they can plan their next step. (Photos courtesy Madison Eagle.)

Children to Benefit From SS Changes More than 175,000 children will benefit from recent changes in the Social Security law. These are children of women who have worked under social security. There are some requirements that must be met for these children to receive benefits. First, the mother must have worked under social security long enough to be insured In addition, the mother must be receiving social security retirement benefits, or social security disability benefits, or the mother must have died The change in the law is that it is no longer necessary to prove that a child is dependent on his mother before monthly benefits can be paid to the child. Dependency of a child under the old law could be established only by the mother having worked at least 1-1/2 years in the 3 year period (currently insured) before the mother died or retired, or became disabled. If she failed to meet the “currently insured” requirement, she must have been contributing at least 1/2 the child’s support, which was difficult to prove in many cases. Now, under the new law the “currently insured” requirement has been eliminated. A child is now considered dependent on his mother in the same way as he has always been considered dependent on his father. Proof of the child’s dependency will no longer be required unless the child was adopted by someone else. Individuals whose claims have been disallowed for failure to establish dependency of the child on his mother, should contact the Social Security office to see if they now qualify under the new law Your Social Security office is located at 20 S. Cameron Street, Winchester, Va. The telephone number is 667-1511.

The Lions Clubs of Eastern Virginia are the sole support of Old Dominion Eye Bank, and Middleton expressed the deep gratitude of Eye Bank officials for the backing provided by the Lions. He then called upon the Lions to appeal for increased public participation in pledging theireyes to this sight-restoration project.

The payment may go to a veteran or to his survivors. A veteran’s financial condition is not taken into consideration in; cases of compensation payment. “Pension,” on the other hand, is paid on a basis of need. The income of the recipient has a direct bearing , on the amount of the pension. Information concerning either benefit is available by mail, phone, or personal inquiry at any local office of the Virginia Division of War Veterans’ Claims. Edwin L. Pomeroy, of the Front Royal office of the DWVC, is in Washington at the Clerk’s Office on 1st and 3rd Monday from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. and will gladly assist with any matter concerning veteran’s affairs.
