Apple Growers Cite Price Recommendat. Virginia apple growers have made their price recommendations for the 1968 processing ijpple crop, it was announced today by the Virginia Farm Bureau Marketing Association. A recommended price of $4.65 1 nn i c_ it n st « r,v* uvi^in mi u. u. nu, i canners, 2'/2 inches and up was listed, and reflects the general optimistic attitude among growers about the upcoming crop. The Farm Bureau Marketing Association listed a price of $5.00 for preferred grade of U. S. No. 1 at a size of 2'/i inches and up. U. S. No. 1 at 2*4 to 2xh inches were listed at $3.25. The U. S. No. 2, 2'4 inches and up were listed at $2.50. Apple juice price was recommended at $2.50 and apple cider was $1.75. Recommended factors as seen by the growers include a crop similar in size to last year, a somewhat shorter supply of varieties favored for processing, good fruit size and condition, and a strong economy with resultant high consumer purchasing power. The prices were recommended upon the advice of Farm Bureau ^ffiliated Marketing Associations in an eight state area from North Carolina to Michigan. Virginia growers have scheduled a meeting in Winchester, September 5 at 8 p m. at the Winchester Apple Growers south plant to discuss the harvest of the 1968 crop. \ Fire and Rescue 5 \ Squad Notes On August 23, the Amissville Rescue Squad took Mrs. Paul Smith to Culpeper Memorial Hospital.

On Sunday the Squad was called to Johnson’s Store and took an unidentified injured manj to the Warren Memorial Hospital ! Amiss ville Ruritan Members Hear Del. Slaughter at Dinner Meeting The Amissville Ruritan Club, bowing in deference to the annual carnival of the fire department, held its meeting a night early. Following the dinner served through the courtesy of the Homemakers Club, the business meeting was curtailed to give ample time to the guest speaker, Delegate D. French Slaughter. Del. Slaughter outlined his several responsibilities in the State Legislature. In the field of Education, he has exerted I considerable effort to locate a vviiiiiihiiivj vv>av5v vii 10 uiva< Such a college, if located in Orange, would be approximately equal distance from Spotsylvania, Culpeper and Orange. The State now has the proffer of 100 acrefc from the Germans Foundation for this purpose. Mr. Slaughter also has worked on Virginias Primary Highways. He advised that the 4 lane route 29 will be continued next spring as a by-pass around Culpeper. A third phase of his work is on the Commission on Rural Affairs, perhaps a little known but important study of the ways and means to keep citizens and wage earners in the rural communities. Speaking as an attorney, Mr. Slaughter had evident approval from his audience on the subject of bringing criminals to justice. He spoke feelingly about the Federal decisions on confessions which upset rightfully ordered sentences. He also rejected on the subversive practice of the “revolutionaries” who down grade and distort the conduct of time honored institutions-the police and the courts. These same revolutionaries have created another false premise which Mr. Slaughter refers to as the “philosophy of permissiveness” which strangely releases the criminal while creating the thought that society was to blame for the lawless act. An unexpected announcement by Bob Andrews left the members in a saddened frame of mind. Mr. Andrews has achieved singular success in coaching and organizing the Youth Baseball Group sponsored by the Ruritan Club. Starting with a few boys in the spring, the squad increased to over 40 members at the season’s end. However, due to reasons of health, Mr. Andrews has sold his Flint Rock holdings and with Mrs. Andrews will move to Florida in October. The community will miss the Andrews, both active in church and civic affairs, and extend the heartfelt best wishes of all their friends. More Local People Getting Pensions According to a recent government report, the number of Rappahannock County residents who are receiving retirement checks each month, via Social Security, is at an all-time high. And the amounts they are getting are larger, due to increases voted by Congress last December. A total of 882 former workers and their families are now receiving such returns. They are benefiting from money that was deducted from their pay envelopes over the years and put into the Social Security trust funds for their future needs. Most of these recipients are retired workers. The remainder are disabled workers, wives, widows, children and other dependents of these contributors. The rapidity with which the system is expanding in the county is brought out in the current (Continued on Pa^e 2) Note Traffic Danger Labor Day Weekend Warning of traffic dangers to be expected during Labor Day weekend, John T. Hanna, Director of the Virginia Highway Safety Division, said that drinking, speeding and exhaustion, which dominate all holiday killers, were actively present during the same holiday last year. In the 16 fatal crashes which killed 21 people last year, a driver was exceeding the speed limit in eight and a safe speed under adverse conditions in one. In two the speeds were in excess of IOC mph. Drinking was present in eight and in two It was definitely established that a driver fell asleep at the wheel. Nine of the 16 people killed in automobile; had access to seatbelts but nom was wearing one. In three cases cars were not equipped with then as is required by law of all 196? and subsequent models. “Du ring holiday weekends people want as much time at possible at their destinations ant thus are prone to hurry gettinf there and, after staying as long a possible, to hurry back. Hurryint back is often done unde: dangerous nighttime condition when the driver is not in his bes physical condition. On holiday: many people drink more, taki more exercise and get less slee| than normally. In traffic, this cat add up to tragedy,” he said.

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. School's Open! Drive Carefully As schools began to open, John T. Hanna, Director of the Virginia Highway Safety Division, asked motorists to be alert when children are going to and from schools and at all times in the vicinity of schools. Calling attention to the law requiring stops for halted school buses, he stressed the fact that it applies regardless of whether the road is a 4-lane and divided or 2-lane, motorists are required to come to a full stop when approaching from any angle and remain stopped until the bus is again in motion and the road clear of children. Failing to do so is legally reckless driving. Too often, he continued, the excuse is given that the driver came up behind a long string of cars and did not see the bus. Under such conditions, the motorist should realize that a line of halted cars means an emergency and that he is not justified in rushing past them. Municipal, private or military | buses used to transport children! to school lose the protection ofj the law unless they are painted yellow and bear signs designated by law. Hanna asked parents and teachers to caution children waiting at the roadside for buses against skylarking and playing, noting that children are all too prone to forget and dash into the road. Finally, he brought to attention a law passed in 1968 which prohibits standing in the road or street for the purposes of hitchhiking. “This very 0 widespread practice among school children, particularly in cities and suburbs is not only dangerous to the hitchhiker but can contribute to rear end collisions when a car stops or slows to pick him up or avoid him,” he said. I | Eye Transplants ' Reach New Peak I | A record number of j sight-restoring comeal transplants has been reported by Old Dominion Eye Bank and Research, Inc. for the fiscal year 1967-68. The eye bank, which is headquartered at 408 North 12th Street in Richmond, operates throughout Eastern Virginia. A total of 87 corneal transplants were performed during the 12-month period, compared with 70 such operations in the previous year. R. Kenneth Hudgins, Executive Director of the eye bank, stated that the gratifying increase appears to have been made possible in part by the growing public awareness of the importance of making human tissue available for transplantations on the death of the owner. ^The great amount of publicity given to heart transplantation in recent mpnths, he said, has convinced a great many Americans that the gift of human tissue is a logical, as well as fine, act of charity. Hudgins added that the increased efforts of the members of Lions Clubs of Eastern Virginia also contributed importantly to the growth of the eye bank’s services. Virginia Lions provide the basic financial support for the eye bank and also conduct a continuing drive to solicit eye-donor pledge cards from Virginia residents. The need for human eye tissue for sight-restoring transplants, Hudgins said, still greatly exceeds the available supply . Until a much larger number of Virginia residents enlist in the program by pledging their eyes on death for this purpose, he said, correctibte blindness will continue to exist In our communities.

Ray Cannon wanted a good herd of cattle and was willing to work toward just that. In 1962 he decided BCIA was a too) which could help him get there. He joined the Virginia Beef j Cattle Improvement Association' and started getting performance records on his cows, the herd sires, and their offspring. The first year he started he was at the bottom; or rather we’d hate to think of any herd being a poorer producing herd. That year his calves averaged: 1.56 lbs. Adjusted Daily Gain, 382 lbs. @ 205 days of age, typed 10.4 and indexed only 96, four points below the average in Virginia! Since then Ray has brought the [herd up the performance ladder a rung at a time. How? Well there’s been; culling of poor producing cows, selecting replacement heifers with better performance records, selecting herd bulls with good BCIA records as calves, as well as on feed after weaning. Improvement in type comes primarily from breeding, possibly solely from breeding. Ladder climbing in daily gain comes through breeding and management. As far as his feeding, seeding, liming. fertilizing, cropping programs are concerned, we see little, or no, difference in Mr. Cannon’s operation. He has always been guided by soil type and soil test 'when it comes to liming, fertilizing crops or pastures. Thus jwe think the growth rate increase and quality improvement have both advanced together by also using BC1A in his breeding program. This year Ray’s herd averaged 2.34 lbs. adjusted daily gain, 541 lbs. at 205 days of age, had a 12.9 type score and an index of 140! BCIA grades are a bit higher, or more strict, than feeder grades, which is as it should be. Ray’s herd, however had come from a shade below top Good to a shade under middle Choice! Weight wise @ 205 days of age there was a whopping 159 pound increase! Now if we go back to our 1962 Feeder Calf Sale and average prices each year since then, Good grade steers brough $29.18 per hundred while Choice and Fancy steers sold for $30.94. Thus one of his 541 lb. calves is worth $1.76 more per hundred, or $9.52 more per head, because of improved conformation. Also, he is worth an additional $49.19 in increased weight, making a grand total of $58.71 per head increase in dollar value! Multiply this by 32 head and you’ll get $1878.72! Ray you’ve arrived man! Congratulations. From now on it’ll be just as hard a job holding the ground gained as it was getting there. I’m betting on you keeping up the good fight. After all, last year there were but three Angus herds in the Virginia BCIA non-creep fed group, with higher indexes than Ray’s herd indexed in 1968! Flint Hill News and Personals By Mrs. Ruth J.

Rowe and three children of Hampton were Marsh Speaks at Highway Ceremony Rep. John O. Marsh, Jr., said here today that “every practicable effort should be exerted to complete the Interstate Highway System within the next few years, in order that we not fall dangerously behind the pace of growth in safe, highspeed, highway needs”. “Even the unlikely completion of most of the planned network by the original 1972 deadline would leave many existing road-improvement requirements unmet,” he warned. The 7 th District Congressman was a luncheon speaker at Ingleside Resort in connection with ceremonies dedicating the Staunton area link of Interstate 81. Marsh praised Virginia highway planners and noted that “a similar level of careful, imaginative planning can assure to communities affected by superhighway routings their fair and substantial shares of the economic growth these roads will produce”. “In our Valley of Virginia, new thousands of travelers are being given convenient access to one of the most beautiful and historic regions of the Nation,” he commented; “and the communities which do the most energetic jobs of making these visitors aware of our scenic, economic and human resources will reap rich rewards in business development and civic advancement.” Marsh noted that the Interstate Highway System was being funded primarily from a special highway-user excise tax trust fund, but he added that “State revenues continue to play a most important part in the financing of road improvements generally”. “When we marvel at the extension of the Interstate System in Virginia, we should not lose sight of the remarkable progress made in recent years in the upgrading of the regular primary highway system of the Commonwealth,” he said. “While the person behind the steering wheel remains the major agent for or against highway safety, road design advances have done much to improve the chances of the careful driver to reach his destination without accident,” Marsh commented. guests for the day Sunday of Mrs. E.

The Sale opens in the Post Office building basement, September 5 and continues every Thursday and Friday through the month from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pensions - - (Continued from page 1) report, which covers the period ending March 1st. It shows that the number of local residents receiving pension checks is considerably greater than it was five years ago, when the total was 721. Changes made from time to time in the Social Security program, extending its scope and permitting more people to qualify, account for most of this increase. Equally impressive has been the rise in the dollar amount going to people in Rappahannock County. It reflects the bigger benefits provided for in the recent amendments to the Social Security Act. The records show that never, during the last two decades, has Congress failed to take such action in a presidential j election year. The average payment per recipient, locally, is now $751 per] year, a big jump over the $560 j they collected five years ago. The increase, 34 percent, compares with a rise of 26 percent in the United States and with 28 percent in the South Atlantic States. What with more beneficiaries and bigger checks, total payments in the local area have zoomed to $663,000 a year, as against the 1963 total of $404,000. Nationally, more than $2 billion is being pumped back into the economy each month through these pension payments. Nearly 24 million men, women and children are now on the receiving end, or about one out of every eight in the population. Rep. Marsh Trains At Ft. Benning Rep. John 0.

Jv % . ,'jhUj. in*‘addilti6Trt ! to assisting low-income farmers, Secretary Freeman said, major conservation emphasis in 1969 will be placed on practices that help abate air and water pollution, benefit wildlife, and improve the quality of our environment while T.

Mr. Pauze was a native of New Hampshire, son of the late Joseph Edward Pauze and Lorene Breault Pauze of New Hampshire. He had lived in Woodville for many years. Clore Funeral Home was in charge of arrangements. conserving our soil and water resources. ‘‘I am authorizing the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation (ASC) Committees to adapt the program further to the needs of low-income farmers,” Secretary Freeman said. “With wide latitude for judgment, j they may set the public share of the cost of selected conservation practices at higher than normal rates, approve drainage practices for cultivated crops as well as for hay and pasture land, and provide cost-share assistance for conservation measures necessary to an adequate home garden.” Cost-share rates normally average about 50 percent. According to H. S. Barksdale, Chairman, Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation County Committee, cost=sharing home garden conservation will be limited to gardens of not less than one-fourth of an acre and not more than 2 acres. The aid will include a share of the cost of lime, fertilizer, major tillage, protective fencing, and pipe to provide water. A low-income farmer or rancher as regarded for ACP purposes, according to the Chairman, is one who is dependent on his income from farming or ranching and whose total income and financial, resources are usually so low that the county committee does not consider it reasonable to expect him to carry out needed conservation work at the usual 50 percent or less cost-sharing rate provided to other farmers. Cost-sharing with low-income farmers may go as high as 80 percent.

Last week we thought about LIFE. Let’s now think about the cessation of life, or so-called DEATH. That is a subject we like to avoid. My wife thinks I am morbid when I mention it. I said “cessation of life.” Does life really cease or is it part of the rhythm of God’s eternal plan? Is LIFE and DEATH just different phases of the soul’s immortality? Read what the poets say about death. Read your Bible. I like to think that I am part of God’s great eternity. “God breathed into man and he became a living soul. ” 11 h i n k He still exhales and inhales, that the real me is part of that rhythm. That “the sword outwears its sheath and the soul outwears the breast.” That “there are many rooms in the Father’s house”, that I may occupy each one He permits me to dwell in worthily. In our journey to the stars, one step at a time, may we with each STEP walk more firmly in the faith, stand straight and tall as becomes one who is seeking son-ship with the Divine Father.

The typical aide, as pictured by a .Virginia Education Association research study released today, which includes aides employed in federal programs, was a full-time employee with a high school diploma who assisted in classroom instruction. Very few (11 per cent) had less than a high school education or had unknown educational backgrounds and more than one in three (38 per cent) had some formal college training. Of the 2640 aides, nearly 2000 were employed full time and about 600 worked on a part-time basis. More than 1500 were involved directly in instruction and 1100 completed non-instructional duties. Instructional aides assisted in planning and implementing lessons, collected and prepared materials to be used by the students and graded papers. Non-instructional aides served a variety of record keeping functions and served as aides in study halls, libraries, central offices, and cafeterias and on playgrounds. Safety Patrol for Holiday Weekend The Department of Highways’ new Safety-Service Patrol, which assisted some 700 stranded motorists during the Memorial Day and July Fourth weekends, will be on duty again for the Labor Day holiday period. The program, being continued on an experimental basis, was developed to help motorists obtain whatever assistance they need so that they may resume their travels as promptly and safely as possible. Thirteen of the Department’s pickup trucks, bearing signs and designating them as part of the program, will patrol from 4:30 p. m. Friday to 7:30 a.m. Tuesday on the following sections of the interstate system: All of Interstate 95 and 495, Interstate 66 between 1-495 and Gainesville, Interstate 81 between Dixie Caverns and US 220 at Cloverdale.'and the Interstate 581 spur at Roanoke. On the two preceding holiday weekends this summer, the most frequent requests from travelers were for tire or motor service, gasoline or wreckeis. The Department’s trucks are equipped with flares, traffic cones, flags, fire extinguishers, water and other materials. They are ateo equipped with two-way radio contact with a base station, Scenes from Amissville Firemen’s Parade a Amissville Ruritan Club, right, was given a trophy as the best civic float in the line of parade at Amissville Thursday. Strasburg Ladies Auxiliary, above, marched to victory as the best appearing Auxiliary in the parade. Majorettes are always an interesting spectacle in parades and this young lady, left, twirling a baton ringed with a hoop of small flags, was doubly interesting. which in turn has telephone communications with State Police and with the service stations in each area. The patrol operators' assignment is to stop and learn the needs of stranded motorists. In some instances, ah operator may be able to furnish minor services. Generally, however, he will relay the public’s service requests to his base station, which will notify the nearest available service station able to provide the necessary assistance. Disabled vehicles will not be left until radio confirmation has been received that a service*! vehicle is being sent. v The two-way radio will also bej usedr, when needed, to have the) base station alert State Police^ wreckers or ambulances. Altogether, nearly 190 ipiles of the more heavily traveled, interstate roads will be covered by the patrol. About 100 Department of Highways’ employes will be engaged in the; program, working on shifts as! necessary. I Service News Joseph R.

Some PLCs will eventually be accepted for flight training which will win them the gold wings of a Naval Aviator. Scientists Build Whooping Crane Fig. Scientists disguised in white gowns are doing their best' to increase the number of rare whooping cranes. Only 19 whoopers live in captivity-six in zoos and 13 at the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center near Laurel, Maryland, the National Geographic Society says. In their first few days of life at Patuxent, hatchlings occupy individual pens. Life-sized cardboard figures of snowy white adult cranes stand watch. Keepers wear long white shrouds while feeding and examining the baby birds. Imprinted by Cutouts In a process called “imprinting,” wild creatures ,\/E BUILD THE FIELD THElBOV EASTER ECO often identify the, f\rst thing they, see, as,their, mother. 'By usjjjng the] cutouts and white disguises,] scientists hope to orient whooperl chicks to birds rather than people. Such precautions may help the hatchlings to mature and' propagate normally in captivity. Their offspring would be returned to the wild. Most of the Patuxent birds were hatched from eggs pains takingly gathered over the last two years at summer nestj sites in Canada’s remote Wood! Buffalo Park. They were flown to the Maryland center for incubation,in a joint project of the United States Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife and the Canadian Wildlife Service. “Although whooping cranes BEFORE YOU LEAVE IT/ KEMEMB&?

The last complete count showed that at least 46 wintered at the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge on the Texas coast in 1967. The largest number since scientists and bird lovers began keeping track about 30 yeafs ago, it indicates that the threatened whooping crane gradually is winning the fight for survival. Commute at 45 mph Commuting between summer and winter homes, the birds cruise at 45 miles per hour and cover about 200 miles a day despite frequent food stops. They arrive with their young in Texas in late October or early November. “Few birds,” says National Geographic’s Water, Prey, and Game Birds of North America, “can match the nobility of the whooping crane (Grus americana). Pairs mate for life 'arid ■’fitre'nfii privacy With a decorum almost unique among birds. “The male is undisputed head of the family, always ready to challenge an enemy with loud bugle calls and a head-on charge. TTie female is free to devote herself to the ungainly but rapidly developing youngster.” A whooping crane pair renews its bond with a wing-flapping, leaping courtship dance about mid-December. The spectacular display ends suddenly, and both birds quietly resume their endless preening. Whboperfe get 1 their name front] a piercing, buglelike alarm note.' Their Kerloo!

Sec. Info More than 175,000 children will benefit from recent changes in the Social Security law. 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 l'/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 '/»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 requiredunless 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.

Alert, efficient, and mannerly are three descriptive words of the judge, Mr. A. A. LeGrande of Boydton. Is there any better or more colorful hound man anywhere in the U.S.A.? He will have his hands full, as all classes are usually overflowing with entries of top hounds. The only complaint heard at the show last year was from a disgruntled owner who moaned over getting no better than 10th in either the “Best” or the “Ugliest” hound classes! Hounds will be cast at daybreak on the 12th, 13th and 14th. An abundance of red and grey fox inhabit the hunt area. The eighteen competent, many nationally known, field judges who have already accepted invitations will be headed by Gerald, Simmons as Master of Hounds. Many of you have seen these men in action at the National, The U. S. Open, Texas Open, Mid-South Open, as well as many state trials. Judging field hounds at any trial is strenuous. Judging at the NFFHA is reputed an honor. Judges must do their work intently and correctly or they will not be invited back. National rules will govern throughout the Trial. Awards to the winners will be am pie-ribbons, challenge and permanent trophies for each Class, and High General Average for both Derby and All-Age Hounds.
