Number of Traffic Crashes Reported Two vehicles sideswiped on Route 211 east of Washington about 12:30 a.m. last Thursday morning. A 1952 International bus operated by Wilbur Bass, Jr. of Leesburg, Florida and a 56 Chevrolet owned and operated by Gary Lewis Deal of Sperryville were involved. The vehicles met on a curve and grade at the west end of the dual lane and sideswiped. Damage was estimated at $200 to Deal’s car and $10 to the bus which was carrying migrant laborers. No Charges were made. At 5:45 the same morning a 1963 Pontiac operated by Raymond Haskel Blosser, Jr. of Stanley struck a cow on Route 211 a mile east of Washington. The cow, owned by Edwin Scroggins, was killed and the vehicle damaged to the extent of $250. No charges were made and Blosser was not injured. Trooper W. A. Buntin investigated the two crashes. Two single-vehicle crashes occurred Friday and one on Saturday, according to Trooper J. B. Willis who investigated, cand a two-car collision Saturday also. At 1:55 a.m. July 12 a mile and eight tenths north of Huntly on Route 522, Ronald Wayne Chadwell of Flint Hill lost control of a 1962 Chrysler and ran off the right of the road. He came back onto the highway and went off the, right of it again, struck a bank and overturned. Chadwell sustained lacerations of the head. He was charged with reckless driving. The same day at 5:30 p.m. on Route 211 three and a half miles east of Washington Kenneth Allen Bennett of Arlington, operating a 1957 Chevrolet ran off the left of the road, back across the highway, jumped a ditch, knocked down a highway sign, jumped a rock wall and struck a wire fence before coming to rest. TTie vehicle was a total loss and Bennett sustained a fractured collarbone and had abrasions of the arm and back. He was charged with reckless driving. Saturday at 1:30 a.m. three and a half miles west of Amissville on Route 211 Lewis William Dodson lost control of his 1966 Plymouth, ran off the right shoulder of the road, veered back onto the highway and off the left shoulder of the road and over the bank. Damage was estimated at $600. Dodson received lacerations of the face and head. He was charged with reckless driving. At 8:30 p.m. a half mile west of Sperryville in front of Baldwin’s West End Shell Station two vehicles were involved in a collision. Samuel Albert Elder of Jacksonville, Fla. stopped in the west lane of the highway and backed across the road into the station when he was struck by a 63 Chevrolet operated by Clarence Dearing of Washington, Va. Elder was charged with reckless driving. Sportsmen-Join Up! Irvin Kenyon, Game Warden Hunting and Fishing licenses are now due. Get them now before “Ole” Joe comes along some week-end and says “Let’s go fishing”. If you hunt or fish be ready. Have your license. Dove season comes in at noon, September 7- this year. That’s a Saturday and the season will run through Saturday, November 2. Dove hunters will also have 2 more weeks in December. A call r | county survey shows that nesting doves this Spring were down 3% from a year ago in the overall Eastern part of the U. S. In spite of the general decline, Virginia’s dove count revealed 38% more nesting birds than last year. Although this is a good sign a number of factors will enter the picture before hunters get a chance to start shooting. The success of this increased nesting, migration patterns, crop harvest patterns and prevailing weather are among those things which will determine what kind of shooting we’ll have. Which brings to mind another factor in all hunting. Will we have guns and ammo to hunt with? Restrictive gun legislation? Let’s hope not. Not only will it cause a hardship on hunters and disarm law abiding people, while having little effect on the criminal element, it will cripple wildlife conservation efforts as we now know them. As go sportsmen, so goes Ducks Unlimited, the Izaak Walton League and almost all wildlife conservation minded groups, including thousand of small local clubs. Not to mention the federal and state wildlife services which are often financed, as in Virginia, totally by sportsmen. An amendment to the present Dodd bill 53691 has even gone so far as to propose the withholding of Pittman-Robertson funds from states that do not pass “suitable” anti-gun legislation. These are funds derived from the 11% excise tax on arms and ammunition. There again, the sportsman’s money. Have you seen any young birds? Personally, in my travels I’ve seen only one young covey. Hiat was the 20th of June and those birds were just starting to fly. I’ve had very few reports of young ones and it seems that just about everyone agrees that there are a lot of adult pairs. Possibly the rains in late May and June worked on the “peepers”. Let’s hope Bobwhite will come back strong with a second hatch. River fishing nearby seems to be on the upswing. Though nothing real big has been taken most anglers that take the time to work the streams good seem to be landing a few “keepers”. Though the lower Rapidan and Hazel have been muddy most of the Spring and Summer, the Thornton and upper Rappahannock have remained fairly clear. The latter two seem to have been the best streams this summer so far. If lake fishing is your pleasure give some thought to going down to Orange Lake, a Commission owned lake 4 miles east of More Insurance Per Family Locally Residents of Rappahannock County entered the yekr 1968 with more protection in the form of life insurance than they ever had. The amount of coverage, pei family, was at a record high. For the local community as a whole, life insurance holdings are now placed at more than $14,747,000. Data on the number of policy holders and the extent ol coverage in force throughout the United States as a whole and in each of the states are contained in the current Life Insurance Facl Book and in other reports. They show that the amount ol life insurance of all kinds in force in the country is now well over a trillion dollars, which is twice a£ much as there was ten years ago Not included in these figures are the insurance coverage provided by the Federal government for veterans and others and the insurance issued by fraternal organizations. In the State of Virginia alone the reports indicate, the amounl in force comes tc $21,208,000,000, as compared with $10,179,000,000 in 1960. For a majority of families, it is found that there is a direcl relationship between their income and the amount of insurance they carry. The amount held by the average family in the state is equivalent to 25 months income after taxes. Applying this yardstick tc Rappahannock County and to the average income reported for the area, the estimated life insurance locally is $10,400 per family. This is much more than the average holdings throughout the local area in 1960, $6,000. It adds up to a grand total ol $14,747,000 for the local population. The bulk of it is ir ordinary life insurance. Group insurance is next in point ol volume. The expansion of life insurance ownership in the last few years is attributed, to a large extent, tt the fact that the American people have been saving more than usual The events in Viet Nam and the economic uncertainties at home are given as the motivating causes — Orange. Two and three pound channel cat have been commonplace. Five and six pounders have been taken. The unofficial Virginia record for a Northern Pike was taken there on June 29, a 32 inch, 7 and 3 tenth pounder. Bass fishing is fair to excellent, depending on how you hit them, sun fish are fair in size. Boats are available for rent and with 125 acres you can always find a quiet spot. A regular fishing license is all you need. Don’t have an uncased gun in your possession on the Rapidan Fish-for-Fun area or anywhere on the Rapidan Management area. This law applies to all Commission owned land during the general closed hunting season. The 1968-69 edition of the Virginia Game Law Digest is available now at the county clerk’s office as well as at many of the local merchants. To Make Wheat Certificate Payments Wheat farmers participating in the 1968 wheat program soon will begin getting program payments, H. S. Barksdale, Chairman, Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation County Committee, said today. The payment in Rappahannock County will be made to producers on about (20) farms and will total around $7000. By law, program participants are guaranteed 100 percent of parity for their share of the wheat used for domestic food. The certificates for 1968 crop wheat will be valued at $1.38 per bushel, compared with $1.36 a bushel for the 1967 wheat crop. This represents the difference between parity for the 1968 wheat crop ($2.63 per bushel) and the national average loan rate of $1.25 per bushel. The certificate payments to farmers are based on the projected production of the planted acreage up to 40 percent of the farm’s 1968 wheat acreage allotment. Certificate payments add substantially to the income farmers receive from marketing their wheat crop while permitting support of market prices through loans at levels more competitive in world trade channels. Nationally, the certificate payments under the 1968 program will be made to producers on approximately 837,000 participating farms, and will total about $730 million. When related to the toal production on the 49.2 million allotment acres on participating farms (about 85 percent of the 1968 national allotment), the $7 30 million in certificate payments reflects an additional income of around 55 cents on each bushel produced by participants. The total average return per bushel will depend on the price farmers receive in the market from their 1968 crop. The Chairman explained that an individual farmer participating in the wheat program can determine his total return per bushel for wheat by dividing his certificate payment by his total production to get an average per bushel payment, by adding this to the price he receives in the market, he can find his return per bushel. Millers and others purchase wheat marketing certificates at 75 cents per bushel to cover the quantities of wheat processed for domestic food use. The remainder of the certificate payment is made up by the Government. NOTICE Rappahannock Farm Bureau and the Rappahannock National Bank will sponsor transportation for local farmers to attend the Animal Industry Day at Blacksburg on July 26th. For reservations call the County Extension Office (675-3619) at once. Also, advise if your car will be available. UNITED spfm®| vA°f7-,,9FFICE The store building owned by E. M. Estes in Sperryvilie will soon be the new home of the' Sperryvilie Post Office. Tentative date set for opening the new facility is Monday, July 29.

Mr. Estes recently discontinued business at his store due to his health. Col. Roy Reeve is postmaster at Sperryville. Red Fox Farm in Harris Hollow Sold Red Fox Farm on Harris Hollow Road, owned by the estate of the late Joseph W. Keyser, who was well known to Rappahannock residents as a farmer and apple grower, has been sold. Consisting of about 145 acres, a substantial portion of which is in apple orchards, the land was partitioned for three separate buyers as approved by the Circuit Court in Front Royal.

CensusBureau Asks Survey Returns In the next day or two 166.00C households in Virginia’s majoi urban areas will find a letter in their mail from the Bureau of thr Census requesting them to return their questionnaires for the Home Fallout Protection Survey. The Bureau is conducting the State-wide survey in conjunction with similar surveys in the District and Maryland, for the Department of Defense, Office ol Civil Defense, with the cooperation of the Virginia Civil Defense Office. About sixty-six percent of the questionnaires delivered to residences in the mail areas at the start of the survey in April have been returned, according to the Census Bureau. Only a short time is left before the conclusion of the survey for the remaining households to have the fallout protection in their homes evaluated by Census Bureau computer. For homes with basements, the computer figures the degree of protection against radioactive fallout each basement provides. A confidential report is mailed directly to the householder. There is no cost to the householder for this service. The Census Bureau and the Virginia Civil Defense Office urge every family who receives this reminder letter to take a few minutes and answer the questions on the form, and then mail it promptly in the return, postpaid envelope provided. The Virginia Home Fallout Protection Survey is being conducted by mail in the twenty-nine urban areas and in other selected areas in Chesterfield, Henrico, Fairfax, uid Arlington Counties. In the 'emainder of the State, the survey oas been completed. It was taken oy Census Bureau interviewers vho called at homes. Local SS Benefits Paid on Increase A record $55,224 was paid out in social security cash benefits to 882 residents of Rappahannock County for February, according to Mrs. Hazel F. Daly, Winchester Social Security District Manager, an increase of $9,596 over the amount paid out for December 1966. “February 1968 was the first month in which increased benefit rates provided by the 1967 Amendments to the Social Security Act were payable,” Mrs. Daly noted. Nationally, the amount of monthly benefits exceeds $2 billion, an increase of more than $360 million above the December 1966 figure. More than 24 million men, women, and children, or nearly 1 out of every 8 Americans, are now receiving some type of monthly benefit. About 18.4 million of those receiving benefits at the end of February were 62 or older. An additional 2.2 million were disabled workers under 62 and their young dependents. About 3.4 million social security beneficiaries were young widowed mothers and their children, the district manager said. In the past 6 years alone, benefit payments to this “younger group” have amounted to 1 V< times as much as the amount paid out in this category during the preceding 21 years. Many younger people also receive benefits due to disability. More than $2.2 million is being paid each month to disabled workers and their dependents — — a rate that is 10 percent higher than that of December 1966. “Most of the changes in the 1967 social security amendments provided more protection foi younger people,” Mrs. Dal> noted. For instance, some 175,000 children are now eligible for benefits based upon the eamings of a mother who hai died or is entitled to disability oi retirement benefits. Previously i women needed to have worker , for at least one and a half of the I last three years. However, thai ■ requirement has been removed i Payments can now be made tc I the children of a woman workei who has died, become disabled, or retired if she hasrenough work ; credits - earned at any time — i to be “fully insured.” I Another change made 100,000 i younger persons - disabled ' workers and their dependents - ' eligible for benefits. The amount * of social security work credits i require for the payment of benefits to workers who become 1 totally disabled before they reach ! 31 years of age has been reduced substantially - for those below 24 years of age, to as little as a year and a half of coverage. Some 65,000 widows, unable to work because of severe disability, were able to get monthly benefits as early as age 50. Dependent disabled widowers also became eligible for payments, and in some cases, so did divorced wives of deceased workers. Joint Baptist Sunday School Picnic The Flint Hill Methodist and Baptist Churches will hold a joint Sunday School Picnic Sunday, July 21 at the Methodist Youth Camp at Boston. Cars will leave the Methodist Church in Flint Hill at 10:30 a.m. It is hoped there will be a good attendance.

RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At Washington, Rappahannock County, Va. Telephone: WASHINGTON 675-3349 MRS. SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Entered as 2nd Class Mail at the P. O. at Washington, Va. Subscription Rate (in advance): $2.50 per year in Rappahannock and adjacent counties; $3.00 elsewhere. A Plan For Medical Care Helen Fuller Washington - A county in rural Virginia which I know well will soon lose its only doctor. The capable “country doctor” who has served 5,400 people in the 270-square-mile area for three generations is over-age and ailing. He will soon be forced to retire. The sick then can expect to do without house calls or a local doctor’s office to run to in a hurry. The nearest medical aid will be 40-70 miles away in a busy hospital emergency room. For several years, the doctor has been searching diligently for a younger man to take over his practice. He has found no one willine to come. THIS IS A familiar story in a great many country counties where people are poor and local doctors are overworked and underpaid. It is natural, therefore, for young medical graduates to head instead for a big-city practice as a high-paid specialist. But it is cold comfort to the seriously sick or injured in time of trouble with no doctor available in a hurry. What to do? There are several alternatives often discussed. Two of the alternatives do not appeal to most Americans or to the U. S. Public Health Service whose responsibility it is to deal with such problems. THE FIRST is what Sweden calls “The Middle Way” between the capitalist and the communist way, and what Britain has adopted in its National Health Plan. In both these countries the government pays for total medical service for everyone, with certain charges for extras. The second alternative also is out of line with this nation’s usual way of doing things. Latin American countries, with the same need to lure doctors out of lucrative big-city practices and out to the boondocks, are doing so by paying medical men a yearly government subsidy to settle in rural areas. (Most of the cost is met with money grants from the US foreign aid program.) THE US Public Health Service believes there is a better way than j government supplements to what j rural doctors can eam through regular fees. Its experts are advising local leaders in areas lacking adequate medical service to set up their own private corporation to organize and equip a local clinic. I Responsible local groups, willing to pay their own way, can get commercial bank or government loans to help them get going, the PHS finds. And where there are such groups, and a suitable medical clinic to work in, the recruiting of doctors is vastly easier. This is the advice of experts who believe in pay-as-you-go medical care and believe it possible even in scattered rural areas. This is what the county I have described is planning to try. Virginia Vehicle Legislation Enacted Among legislation enacted by the 1968 General Assembly concerning motor vehicles, and recommended by local authorities for publication, are the following: Effective June 28, 1968 all motorcycles designed to carry more than one person shall be equipped with a foot rest for the passenger.

All motor vehicles registered in Virginia must be inspected every six months, including motorcycles and trailers. Park Visits Show Increase in June Visits to Shenandoah National Park during June were up 11.7% over June of 1967, Superintendent R. Taylor Hoskins reported today. Total visits for the month were 262,100 as compared to 234,500 in June of last year. Percentage increase for the year to date (January — June) was 9.8% with 745,500 visits as against 678,900 for the six-month period in 1967. Heavy travel continued into July with 57,745 visits recorded over the four-day Fourth of July weekend from July 4 through July 7. This was an increase of 6% over a comparable period in 1967 from July 1 through July 4 when visits totaled 54,328. Hoskins said that despite the high visitation there were very few reports of visitor accident incidence, minor for the most part, and one small Fire that was quickly put out. He added that violations requiring court action were at a minimum. One fatality was recorded on July 8, the morning following the four-dayweekend. Mrs. Marianne J V iM'l w /*«*c!

Hoskins said the rangei investigating the accident reported he was told by Bennett that as he rounded a sharp curve he came into a patch of dense fog and was unable to keep the vehicle from going over the bank. Campground use has reflected the travel increase, according to Hoskins, who said the ne« Matthews Arm Campground at Mile 22.2, which opened to the public on June 14, already has proven popular and ail modem campgrounds in the Park have been taxed to capacity on most weekends since the summer travel season began with the closing of schools. As a sidelight to the Matthews Arm Campground opening Hoskins said the first campers to use the new facility were Mr. and Mrs. Floyd C. Bueter of Salt Lake City, Utah. The Bueters registered at 10:30 a.m. on the opening day. As evidence of travel generating from throughout the country, Hoskins reported that on Thursday, June 20, visitors from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Canada, and Mexico were recorded. A sampling for the week of June 16, excluding Virginia, showed the largest number of visitors originated from Maryland, followed by Pennsylvania, Ohio, the District of Columbia, New Jersey, Michigan, and New York. Health Tips From AMA The traditional summer vacation of the American family is highly recommended by your doctor. The family needs to get away from customary home and office chores, forget day-to-day worries for a short time and generally get rejuvenated and ready to face another year. Whether your vacation will be a short trip to a nearby lake, camping out in a national park, a plane trip abroad, or what have you, there are a few things to keep in mind that will help avoid having the holiday spoiled by illness. ■V. -» Depending on where you’re going, you may need some vaccination shots. Tetanus, certainly, for anyone who expects to include some out-of-doors activities. Typhoid, if your journey includes areas where the water supply is uncertain. Smallpox, if you’re planning to leave the United States to visit a foreign land. Ask your doctor about these, and possibly other, immunizations. The American Medical Association suggests that you remind yourself to use common sense about your vacation diet. Many a family trip has been spoiled by too many roadside hamburgers and soft drinks. A sound rule while driving crosscountry is to eat lightly. Be cautious about heavy, rich meals, particularly if you're not accustomed to such fare at home. Know what sort of climate you will encounter at your vacation spot and dress accordingly. It can get cold in the mountains at night, even in midsummer. Good walking shoes are important to the travel wa'rdrobe. If you wear glasses, take along an extra pair. Or at least a copy of your prescription. If you're taking a regular medication, make certain of your supply before you leave. And, finally, don't overdo it. Almost no one other than a trained athlete is ready for 36 holes of golf or five sets of tennis under a broiling sun. Schedule your vacation to allow daily rest periods. Do most of the driving in the morning hours and stop for the evening in early or mid-afternoon. Your vacation should be a holiday for rest and relaxation. It should not be a grind that necessitates another vacation to rest up from the vacation. Smokey Say$: _ girl scouts have goodwoooiand MANNERS < XXL ... and Boy SoouU do too— •o why not YOU! WWR Host To Rehab. Specialists Woodrow Wilson Rehabilitation Cfenter (WWRC), Fishersville, a unit of the Virginia Department j{ Vocational Rehabilitation, will play host to a national meeting of rehabilitation facilities specialists, July 18-19. State vocational rehabilitation agency personnel from 48 states, including Alaska and Hawaii, and from Puerto Rico and the Virgin islands, plus officials from the U. S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare, will discuss “the role of rehabilitation facilities and workshops in a changing society.” Presiding at the two-day meeting will be R. Kenneth Barnes, chief, division of rehabilitation facilities and workshops, Rehabilitation Services Administration, Washington. Prime purpose of the meeting will be to train new facilities specialists on procedures in working with local groups and agencies to obtain federal matching grants for sheltered workshops and other facilities to serve the handicapped. Another objective will be to research more efficient ways of serving disabled persons. A third important aspect of the meeting will be a review of the 1968 vocational rehabilitation amendments and their establishment of a new role for state agencies - that of working with disadvantaged groups whose cultural and economic deprivation are construed as handicaps to employment. The Rehabilitation Services Administration states that during fiscal 1960 through 1968 sheltered workshops in the nation served 59,701 handicapped citizens. Rehabilitation and adjustment centers during the same period served 174,616 persons who were clients of state vocational rehabilitation agencies. The meeting will be sponsored by the School of Rehabilitation Counseling, Virginia Commonwealth University, in cooperation with WWRC and the Rehabilitation Services Administration rehabilitation facilities. Men of the Sperryville community worked feverishly early this week to assemble the rides for last night’s opening of the annual Sperryville carnival.

V State Parks Seeing Busiest Year Yet The first week of July was the busiest in the 32-year history ol Virginia’s state parks, and 1968 is turning out to be a banner year The state’s Division of Parks counted more than 174,500 visits during the week through Sunday July 7. Independence Day brought the highest one-day attendance in park history, with 41.000 people crowding the parks for camping, swimming, and Fourth of July outings. Already this year, almost a million visits have been counted in the 10 state parks, three recreational areas, and foui historical attractions operated by the Virginia Division of Parks Attendance is running about 79< ahead of 1967, according to Ber H. Bolen commissioner of parks It would have been more, Boler said, if rainy weather over severa weekends in the spring and early summer had not hamperec visitation. Through July 7, the parks unil of the state’s Department ol Conservation and Economic Development had tallied 997,00C visitor days, a total of the numbei of people visiting the parks every day. “We still have our busiest twc months ahead of us,” Boler added, “and we expect this to be our best year ever.” Five state parks counted more than 20,000 visits each during the holiday week. Claytor Lake Pari in Pulaski County drew the highest attendance of 24,62-5 followed closely by Hungry Mother Park near Marion, with 24,555. Other parks in the 20.000 group were Douthat neai Clifton Forge, Fairy Stone nea: Bassett, and Seashore at Virginii Beach. In spite of three rainy days or the coast as July began, Seashore State Park drew 10,200 campers and over 650 were turned away for lack of camping space. Five other parks had to wave by more tjian 800 people because thei campgrouncis were full. Seashore Park has the highest tota attendance for the year so far with more than 231,350 visito days. Virginia’s parks are also ver popular with out-of-staters, l count made by park personnel ii June revealed that almost 30% o the visitors were from othe states. The survey results for nin of the state parks, wher attendance was counted fc sixjrhtOiir periods on two Sunda aftSHioons, showed a total c 8,500 non-Virginians amon 28,900 people entering the gate! At Westmoreland State Pari out-of-state visitors both week outnumbered Virginia resident by more than two to one. Th main factor, Bolen explained wawas the Potomac River park’ closeness to Maryland and th District of Columbia. Severs northern states were large! represented, indicating th Northern Neck’s attraction to lor distance tourists.

Virginia Farm Bureau members are planning to tum out in large numbers for the event, including many from Orange, Madison and Greene Counties. The local Farm Bureau will be represented by Sam Funkhouser and Ike Jeanes, president and vice-president, respectively. Directors going on the chartered bus include Randolph Colvin, W. W. Sanford, jr., Herbert Matthews III, John G. Carpenter, John Lucas, Charles A. Wright, THt»mas Graves and Robert Schwartz. Committee heads making the trip will be Richard L. Sanford, John C. Estes, Mrs. Betty Schwartz and George M. King. Livestock Committee members going will be Robert Coleman, Bob Nixon, Garvis Huff, Rae Jones, Bill Speiden and Hollis Boston. Charles B.

Litton, head of the Animal Science Department. W E. Skelton, dean of the extension division, will act as master of ceremonies. Urges Caution In U.S.S.R. Dealing Rep. John O. Marsh, Jr., urged in a speech at Front Royal Saturday night “realism and caution in dealing with the Soviet Union in the area of nuclear disarmament”. “We must balance the Soviet proffers of talks on reduction in nuclear offensive and defensive missile systems against Soviet performance in the supplying of conventional arms being used daily to kill Americans in the Vietnamese war,” Marsh said. “Additionally, we must recognize the growing threat 'of Soviet capability in space devices designed to strike a number of our cities with nuclear bombs at the press of one button, and the Soviet emphasis on buildups of a surface navy and submarine fleet,” he warned. The 7th District Congressman spoke at the dedication of a new Elks Club here. “It would be most dangerous for our future national security to interpret isolated instances of conciliation in the arms competition as a major shift in Soviet emphasis on competitive effort toward nuclear superiority,” Marsh said, “ and | we can only regard as naive or jo ve rl y-polite the current expressions of our foreign policy j leaders which seem to clutch at these illusory overtures from Moscow while refusing to insist, in bilateral talks, and in approaches to the United Nations, on a show of good faith by the Soviets in Viet Nam.” “We should not talk with the Russians about disarmament without an end to their supplying of North Viet Nam, and we should call a spade a spade in this, rather than accepting without protest the continuing yammering from the Kremlin about alleged American aggression,” he said. Marsh cited as an indication of “naive policy” the effort “to sell | the ‘Sentinel’ antiballistic system as necessary to our protection from a nuclear threat from Red China, when it is obvious that the most fearsome threat of nuclear attack is centered in the capacity of the Soviet Union.” “I cannot take much comfort in talk of disarmament, or expanded trade, with the Soviet Union as long as I read of , American pilots being forced to dogfight with high-performance , Soviet jets in Viet Nam, or I soldiers of the United States and j South Viet Nam. not to mention I thousands of South Vietnamese jcivilians, being killed by Soviet-made weapons,” Marsh | said.

Popeye Says, “I yam what I yam.” In Exodus 3:14 from a burning bush a voice says, “I am that I am.” One translation says it this way, “I am who I am.” Was this personality stating His real name, a state of being, did He say in effect, “I AM all there is, there is nothing else beside.” Should we see a burning bush would we turn aside to see if God had a message in this phenomenon, or would we pass on by, saying “Autumn is coming early this year?” I like to think that God speaks to us from every bush, from every tree, from every blade of grass. Pause beneath a giant tree, gaze up through the filigree of its interwoven branches, examine leaves. Can you find two alike? Only the Divine Architect could create such intricacies, such variety. It is easy to concur with Joyce Kilmer, ‘Only God can make a tree.’ Woodville Social Items About 45 members and friends of the Woodville Baptist Sunday School and Church enjoyed a most successful picnic Sunday at the Graves Mountain Lodge at Syria. Historic Hot Line To Be Installed An historic hot line telephone, connecting Luray Caverns with the Woodrow Wilson Birthplace in Staunton, will be installed at Luray on July 22 at 11 a.m. The telephone, originally used In the White House by Woodrow Wilson, will be installed in the main visitor’s lobby at Luray Caverns, and will be available for limited use by tourists. The “candle” style telephone, having no dial system, was added to the Wilson collection at his birthplace several years ago by the late Mrs. Woodrow Wilson. H.T.N. Graves, president of Luray Caverns Corporation and a trustee of the Woodrow Wilson Birthplace Foundation, said “We feel that all travelers to Luray Caverns should be aware of the great president who was bom in the Shenandoah Valley. Luray Caverns is proud to have a part in telling the story of Woodrow Wilson.” The telephone has been displayed for a number of years in a traveling exhibit sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson Birthplace. The installation on July 22 will mark the first time it has ever been connected into the phone system since it was in the White House. Bedford Co., Expects Treasure Seekers A modest invasion of Bedford County can be expected this summer if all the treasure seekers across the country follow through.

Virginia Sets Dove And Rail Seasons Virginia hunters will get a little earlier crack at doves this year with a season set to open September 7, reports Game Commission Executive Director Chester F. Phelps. The first portion of this split dove season will-end November 2, and the second portion will extend from December 16 through December 28. The daily bag limit will remain at 12, and shooting will be limited to hours between noon and sunset, prevailing time, whether it be daylight saving or standard. The extra week at the start will allow hunters to be afield when the greatest number of birds are present, but harvested fields necessary for good shooting will be scarce. Rail season will be open September 6, coincident with unusually high tides along the Virginia coast, and close November 14. A bag limit of 15 clapper or king rails daily is unchanged from last year, but the daily limit on sora and Virginia rails was raised from 15 to 25 daily. Woodcock and snipe seasons will open November 18 with most other hunting seasons. Snipe season will end January 6, and woodcock season will extend through January 21. Bag limits are 8 snipe and 5 woodcock daily. Shooting hours on all species except doves are one-half hour before sunrise to sunset each day. Gallinule season dates and limits will be set in August to conform with seasons for other waterfowl as was done last year.

Answer: Yes, her*salary is subject to the same withholding requirements as your other employees if she is 21 or over. If she is under 21, then you withhold just income and not social security. The salary you pay your daughter can be treated as a business expense to the extent it is what you would pay a person not related to you for performing the same services. Question: Are wedding gifts taxable? Answer: The recipient of gifts is not subject to income or gift taxes. However, the giver may be liable for gift tax if gifts to one person in a single year exceed $3,000. Question: A mistake in my social security number held up my refund for weeks. Why is this number so important? Answer: Because so many taxpayers have the same name, your social security number is the only positive identification 6f your account with IRS. Names change too, as marital status changes. Congress passed a law several years ago requiring HEADQUARTERS Orchard Chemicals We maintain complete inventories and will deliver to your farm.

Social Security numbers were selected for this purpose because most taxpayers already had one. This number should be placed on all individual tax returns filed, correspondence with IRS concerning returns, payments for tax liabilities and similar documents. The number should also be given to corporations and savings institutions to identify dividend and interest payments. Question: When do I have to pay Social Security tax for my maid? Answer: The quarterly payment for the months of April, May and June is due July 31. Use Form 942, “Employer’s Quarterly Tax Return for Household Employees,” a self-mailer, to file and pay this tax. This tax is due when cash wages of $50 or more are paid to a household employee during a calendar quarter. Vet* Told To Apply for School Certificates Veterans who intend to enter school this fall should apply now for their Veterans Administration Certificate of Eligibility and avoid the rush, E. P. Brosnan, Manager of the Roanoke, Virginia, VA Regional Office, advised today. Veterans already in training under the GI Bill who plan to change programs of schools this fall must obtain new Certificates of Eligibility from the VA. The principal advantage to the veteran of heeding advice to apply now is that he can be certain that his GI Bill education allowance will be dated from the day school begins. If he fails to apply for the certificate until after school has started there may be a delay in payment of his allowance, according to Brosnan. To obtain a Certificate of Eligibility, a veteran planning to enter school or training for the first time under the GI Bill should get in touch with his nearest Veterans Administration Office. A veteran who requires another certificate because of a change in program or school should contact the VA Regional Office which maintains his records on file. A veteran who is not changing programs or schools need not obtain another Certificate. Paychecks Shrink This is the week that American across the nation will find theii weekly paychecks shrunken, once again: this time due to the 10 percent income tax surcharge which became effective July 14th. The additional tax must be deducted from paychecks received after July 13, even though the money was earned before that date, according to the law signed June 28. Residents are reminded that this deduction will not cover all the additional tax a person will owe the government by the end of the year, because the surtax is effective retroactively to April 1 for individuals and to January 1 for corporations.
