Rappahannock News, November 7, 1968

VA. STATE UBEAET 23219 mappaliamrotk^euis I i a u i ii, NOVS 1968 SIM MM) VOLUME XX. NUMBER WASHINGTON. VIRGINIA THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1968 lQcCopy Plant Manager G. S. Ashby (left) and Conversion Coordinator D. E. Embry review plans for the establishment of the automatic message recorder, which will record the necessary information for the billing of a long distance call placed through the directi distance dialing equipment. The system will go into operation on Sunday, November 17, 1968. C&P’s New Direct Dial System To Take Effect Sunday, November 17 Sunday, November 17, will be a big day in Culpeper telephone history. A modern new communications system will be placed into operation by the Chesapeake and Potomac Telphone Company of Virginia. With the advent of the new center in Culpeper and the extensive additional facilities in Criglersville, Madison and Sperryville, C&P will bring a variety of services to customers in these exchanges. According to C&P manager F. Wayne Dementi, the center in Culpeper is the hub and will provide information service, operator handled calls and repair service for all areas involved. However, all the communities will have their own dial switching centers for local calling. One of the big things C&P customers in the exchanges involved will be able to do is to dial their own station-to-station long distance phone calls by using direct distance dialing (DDD). Culpeper will serve as the switching center for all long distance calllling for the other nearby communities. Calls will be routed through the new center’s equipment and transmitted throughout the state and nation to distant cities. The C&P manager also said that optional touch-tone telephone service is available for the Culpeper 825- customers. This phone has ten buttons, rather than the conventional rotary dial. According to the manager these touch-tone phones operate in about half the time the conventional rotary phone does. It was also pointed out that the new directory, which each customer should receive prior to November 17, should be consulted for local telephone numbers as more than 3,000 will be changed in the various exchanges. Fire and Rescue | Squad Notes The Amissville Rescue Squad was called October 24 to take Mrs. Lloyd Poe to the office of Dr. Snead in Sperryville. On the 31st the unit took Mrs. Charles G. Lawrence from her home to Fauquier Hospital, Warrenton. Rappahannock Rescue Squad took two men from Jenkins Hollow to Culpeper Memorial Hospital on Tuesday. Sperryville Fire Company answered, a call Saturday to a brush fire at Slate Mills. Sportsmen, Join Up! By Irvin Kenyon, Jr. Game Warden Some 40 streams in 37 Virginia counties will be stocked with 41,250 catchable size trout during early November, reports Game Commission Fish Division Chief Jack Hoffman. The stocking is somewhat later than a similar release last fall because streams were too low until recently to support the trout. Hunters already in the woods for western game seasons should find a relaxing change in some mid-afternoon angling along a rushing stream. Last year’s hunters reported pan-fried trout a tasty addition to the hunting camp menu. A trout license and regular fishing license are required of all persons fishing in stocked streams. Trout will be stocked in the north fork of the TTiomton River and in the Hughes River on Thursday, November 7 (today).] The South River in Greene; County will be stocked on the 7th also. Gooney Run in Warren County was stocked November 6 and Hawksbill in Page County will be stocked tomorrow, November 8. In addition to these nearby streams, most major trout streams in the state received some Osh from November 6 through 9th. The bear season over most of the state including Rappahannock County will open this coming Monday, November 11 and will close here on December 21. As in the past, the bag is one per license year of not less than 75 pounds live weight. Nearly 120 high school boys are presently enrolled in the NR A Hunter Safety Program. These boys need some practical application of what they are learning in the classroom. Parents and adult friends of the boys should make every effort to get out and work with them. Let them fire some in a safe place and if they are interested take them hunting this fall. Always encourage safe gun handling. The Rappahannock Game and Fish Club is to be thanked for its support of this project. The club is paying for the student material used in the safety course. Move Locally Is To Higher Brackets An analysis of family earnings in Rappahannock County, with particular reference to the distribution of this income, indicates a steady movement upward into higher brackets. The progress has been general-at all income levels. Many of the families that were earning $5,000 to $8,000 a few years ago have stepped into the next higher group. Their former spots have been taken, in turn, by those whose incomes had been under $5,000. As a result, there are now fewer local families in the low brackets and more in the upper ones than ever before. Does it mean that people are better off, financially, to the extent indicated by their increased earnings? Not entirely. The Department of Commerce, discussing the matter, points out that the median income of families in the United States rose 6V4 percent in 1967 but, because of price increases, the net gain in purchasing power was only 4 percent. Rappahannock County’s income distribution figures are contained in a survey made by the Standard Rate and Data Service. The report details, for every section of the country, the portion of the population in each income bracket. Locally, it shows, some 45.2 percent of the households had spendable incomes of $5,000 or more in the past year after payment of Federal, state and local taxes. This represented an increase of 8.1 percent in the number of families in that bracket in a two-year period. In the United States the increase was 6.0 percent and, in the South Atlantic States, 6.2 percent. The study was undertaken to get a better understanding of the income status of each segment of the population than was provided by the all-encompassing “average income” figures. The degree to which the overall earnings in a community are distributed is an Index of the weD-being of the majority of the people. They show whether a disproportionate share goes to a small number of families, leaving a relatively small portion for the majority, or whether the distribution is more uniform. The breakdown figures for Rappahannock County list 19.2 percent of the families with net incomes of $5,000 to $8,000 and mother 10.7 percent in the 58,000 to $10,000 bracket. Supervisors Receive New Member; Discuss Refuse and Bear Problems Mrs. Betty Coates, recently appointed to the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors from Piedmont District, was well received at the initial meeting of her tenure. The November meeting was held Friday at the courthouse in Washington with ail members present and Chairman J. Newbill Miller presiding. Mrs. Coates was named to the Refuse Committee with other committeemen, Supervisor Norman Wilbur and Commonwealth’s Attorney George H. Davis. She was also named to a committee for repair and painting necessary on the courthouse and county office buildings. Relative to the junk and refuse, one board member reported he felt there was less trash being thrown on the hollow roads. Mr. Foster reported a bed spring and mattress had been left at the Flint Hill unit one day but it was gone the next. Residents are urged to limit trash to what will go inside of the units. A sheep claim for $25 was approved after recommendation by Jack Bruce, Dog Warden. This in turn led the conversation to damage done by bears coming from the sanctuary of the national park. Several calves and other animals, as well as fruit, have been destoyed by bears. There is no monetary compensation available to owners for bear damage, and the continued nuisance is distasteful to residents. Letters to officials and agencies have not resolved the matter. The only compensation known is the damage stamp levied by the Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries. To benefit from this, landowners must open their lands to any and all hunters without restrictions. There would not be many landowners who would do this and this is veryj understandable. , J Discussion on roads was limited to the by-pass of the Town of Washington and expecially to cross overs on the dual lane here. It was felt by some that there should be a crossover at Payne’s Garage east of town since school Completes P.D. Schooling Charlie Jackson of Gladys, Va. has completed his training and schooling with the Virginia Department of State Police. Mr. Jackson was a conditional trainee with Trooper W. A. Buntin in Rappahannock and Page counties from April to July of this year. He will graduate from the Basic Training School, State Police Headquarters, Richmond on Friday, November 7 and has received an assignment to the Arlington County area of the Second Division. tms travel is heavy there for inspection. George H. Davis, Jr. was appointed to check the finality of the boundary question, tp see whether or not concrete markers were in place on the line and get aerial photos due the county. After this final settlement can be made with Bartenstein, the surveyors. TTie Board agreed to again become a member of the State Chamber of Commerce at a fee of 560. No appointments were made to a Highway Safety Committee as advocated by the State. This was tabled for further consideration and action. Supervisor L. H. Luttrell was concerned that since the boundary had been established, land had not been placed in the proper county for tax purposes. Diis is to be looked into. Accounts were approved for payment before adjournment, and after the group was dismissed Mrs. Coates, Mr. Miller and Clerk E. M. Jones toured the courthouse and offices, inspecting for needed repair. Reynolds Baptist To Host Sue Slaughter Group R e y n olds Memorial Baptist Church, Sperryville will be the Host Church for the Sue Slaughter group foreign mission W.M.U.

Hospital Adm’trator Resigns in Culpeper Culpeper Memorial Hospital, Inc. has announced the resignation of its administrator, Herbert R. Woodall, who has served in this capacity for the past year. Mr. Woodall plans to leave the position the first of the year to become associated with Blue Cross of Virginia. L. B. Henretty, President of the hospital board, said a replacement for Woodall will be named at a later date. First Aid Classes A First Aid Course, consisting of both standard and advanced classes, will begin Thursday, November 7 and will be held at the Amissville fire hall. Classes will be from 7 until 10 p.m. each Tuesday and TTiursday thereafter until the 30-hour course is completed.

Everyone is extended e cordial invitation to the service Foxhunter Given Fast Rescue - by Mary Jamieson , Remember last Saturday, how freakishly warm it was for the \ second of November? Well, , dispite the fact no sensible fox , would stir himself on such a . langorous morning, a few die ’ hards, booted, stocked and , steaming in the Melton coats, appeared at Fletchers Double Gates to go achasin’ ole Reynard ) etc., promptly at 10 a.m. Huntsman Billy Dodson took , 121 j couple of hounds west Into the valley between Fielding one Poortown mountains. Soon the) struck off for the top of Fielding From now on this is n< fox-and-hound tale. This is i story about the Washington, Va Rescue Squad. A small field ol hunters, folliwing Jt.-Master Jacl DeBergh, came to a pair of bars i short way up the woode< mountain trail. (Any barway whether It consists of one 6f fW< removable poles is called a “pall of bars,” just to make it sounr easy to jump, I guess.) Jack le< over, with his daughter Diannt close after. Next came Fannin) Baumgardner on big, heavy willing roan-colored Smokie Something went wrong. Smokii threw himself at the jump, bu misjudged its height by at least i Coot. Crash! The ugly sound wa heard a thousand feet away b) the Whipper-In Michael Marsh Smokie’s front legs hit the stoul top rail, a six-inch-thick p|ne tree, freshly felled. The rail broke hall in two, (as we say in Virginia,] but the impace catapulted Fanning over the jump onto the ground with Smokie summersaulting right over or him. Riders on both sides of the jump were frozen, watching the horse scramble off the rider, ther seeing Fanning flat- out, pale as i field stone, and gulping for breath. One panicked viewer, your correspondent to be specific, trying ineffectively to give First Aid, shouted to young Walter (Peanut) Strother to gallop back to Thornton Hill and send a truck immediately. Peanut, riding Bucky Fletcher's great-going Rocket, whirled his horse and literally shot to the bam, hurdling everything in his way. When he arrived, no trucks were In the yard, so he called the Washington, Va. Rescue Squad. Within a mere 12 minutes the ambulance was at Fletchers Double Gates ready to 1 go a short distance across country ; to the scene of the accident. Happy Footnote: Fanning Baumgardner’s hone Smokie [ suffered no traumatic effects from his timber-splintering fall. ; and Fanning, after 10 minutes of , trying to catch his breath, i squeaked out these first ffew I words, “Catch hone, please . . . must go on.” And he did. r Thus, fortunately, there was no ’ limp body to be rescued, but we ’ want the Washington Rescue Squad to know how much each member of the Rappahannock Hunt appreciated the speed and efficiency of their lifesaving volunteer service. Unhappy Footnote: The hounds ran to Juba Mountain after SIX (no less) deer, and that, as you know, is a “No-no!” Five couple of hounds were kep^ under control. Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Clark and their little granddaughter were taking an afternoon ride, passed by the Huntsman, and were very kind in offering to truck the “good” hounds back to the kennel before temptation became too strong for 1 them. Typical of the rolling terrain of Rappahannock is a view from Fodderstack Road between Washington and Flint Hill. The mountain forms a backdrop of splashes of green, gold, red and brown. The leaves have not been quite ah brilliant as they are some times, but the color has lasted much longer. Cattle graze in the distance and the house and buildings nestle beside the pond on the farm owned by Douglas Smith and occupied by ftfr. and Mrp. Harold Scoggin.

What makes this type ot accident so senseless is that it can be so easily prevented. To avoid rear-end collisions, the American Insurance Association suggests this simple driving rule: A safe following distance is a car length for each 10 miles an hour you are driving. If you are traveling 40 miles an hour, foi example, 72 feet would be a reasonable following distance. With nearly 17 million traffic mishaps reported in the United States last year, that resulted ir 53,000 fatalities, one just can nol drive too carefully, the Association states.

Some shoot deer. Some shoot each other. Of the 2,800 people in the United States who died of hunting and other accidental gunshot wounds last year, many might have been saved if their companions had known how to stem the flow of blood, according to John T. Goetz, area director of American Red Cross Safety Programs, Eastern Area. “The best single method of controlling bleeding is to apply direct hand pressure to the wound with a thick pad of cloth,” advises Mr. Goetz. “It is especially important fot sportsmen to be aware of this as the hunting season gets undet way, for hunting accidents usually occur many miles from community medical facilities.” Several layers of cloth or a folded piece of clothing will do as a compress. If a dressing is not immediately available, the bare hand should be used until a cloth pad can be brought into use. Although ideally the dressing should be clean, a dirty cloth is better than no cloth at all. If the wound is deep, the fingers and/or dressing should be inserted into it and firm pressure applied. Do not remove a dressing that becomes soaked with blood. <5 IT'S TIME TO ORDER YOUR CAVHTC ft 5 Sec our complete selection of § § Hallmark and Gibson ft 5 | Holiday Greeting Cards | Good line of Thanksgiving Cards S and wide variety of cards for 3 it | all occasions § I CULPEPER BOOK STORE ft § Culpeper, Va.

Direct pressure can be maintained by bandaging the compress firmly in place. Also, elevate a bleeding arm or leg if there are no fractures and if stich elevation will not cause additional damage to the injured part. To treat for shock, lay the victim down, but keep the injured part higher than the victim’s heart. Maintain normal body temperature, but do not overheat the victim. Remember that the small entry wound of a gunshot may be misleading; extensive internal injuries may have occurred. All gunshot victims should receive medical attention as promptly as possible. “Everyone who hunts should know first aid,’ Mr. Goetz said. “Most Red Cross chapters offer free courses in it regularly.” To prevent accidental gunshot wounds, he added, read and remember these rules: Never point at anything you don’t intend to shoot. Wear bright colors when hunting and knew the terrain. A fall can cost you your life if you are carrying a loaded gun. Take along a small first aid kit, a compass, knife or hatchet, and matches. Treat every gun as if it were loaded. Never take anyone else’s word that a gun is “empty.” Be sure of your target. Never shoot at noises -- wait until the whole animal or bird is visible. Know the correct way to carry your gun -- under arm, shouldered, cradled, or with both hands. Make sure safety is on, finger outside trigger guard, muzzle in safe direction and under control. Keep the safety on or the chamber unloaded until ready to fire... and keep your finger out of the trigger guard. Be sure your ammunition is the right caliber and powder load for your gun. Check bore through the breech and before loading to be sure it is clear of foreign objects. Repeat this check frequently while hunting. Be sure the action is open when handing the gun to another ie*o«o«o*e»e*o»e»o»eete»e*o*o*o OBITUARIES C. G. Reid, Jr Capt. Charles G.

Game-Fish Commission Acquires Two New Tracts TTie Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries recently completed acquisition of 2 nearby tracts of land, which are additions to existing Wildlife Management Areas, reports Executive Director Chester F. Phelps. The largest is a 377 acre addition to the Commission’s Rapidan Wildlife Management Area in Madison County. This area, known locally as the Devils Pitch, has a mile of native trout stream and some virgin timber. It borders Shenandoah National Park on three sides. A 278 acre tract in Fauquier County which joins the Commission’s Weston Refuge is expected to greatly expand recreational opportunities in this area. Hie new addition can support dove, quail and rabbit hunting and will have room for a 1 course bird dog field trial area. The -'present Weston Refuge, where no hunting is allowed, is usep extensively for beagle tra/ning and field trials and its food plantings make it a refuge for doves. Its close proximity to the Washington Metropolitan Area is expected to make it a popular outdoor recreation spot.

A Week In California Mias Annie Miller Almond (Continued from last week) How beautiful and exciting thii view was to the eyes of a country girl (?). We had never seen such i plush hotel. It is impossible tc describe and when I tell you that we were told that probably tht rooms cost as much as $50.00 £ day, you can understand why ] can’t describe it. The guide got us cate for oui hotels. The gentleman in my group told the driver to go to the El Cortez first so that I would nol have to ride alone. I fell into bet! that night. On the next morning, Friday, Sept. 20, I went to the Jack Tai Hotel to pay for my Parlor Toui reservations for we were to leave early Saturday morning. When ] returned to the lobby of my hotel I was greeted with a cheery “Good Morning” from Mr. X. He was so amused and pleased too with my enthusiasm that he was telling all who would listen that “Miss Almond” had taken San Francisco with a vengeance ■ three tours in one dayl” Then he had no idea of letting me rest on Friday, for he asked me had 1 seen the Acquatic Park, the State Historical Maritime Park and Ghiradelli Square. I replied ] hadn’t. “Oh you must see that and you can do that on your own.” Can you imagine my thoughts? He got a piece of paper and began writing the directions ■ Hude Street, cable car - go down the street 3 blocks, tum to Powell and cross over and take the Hyde St. and Acquatic cable car. With the directions in my hand I went to the door and thought -1 can’t do this alone • I’ll go out and stay a while and come back and tell Mr. X I’ve been. Then ] thought “Coward”, so down the street I went. I got to Powell but with my uncertainty the first Hyde St. car went by; however, another followed and with a pretty little blond’s assurance 1 got on. A little Chinese girl got on and sat by me. She sensed my uneasiness and I suppose saw the directions clutched in my hand, so she told me this car would take me to the Park which was at the end of the line. Then I would get a car on the Square to return. There were two American women tourists on the car just for a short ride but they decided to go with me to the end. Up hill and down hill and around we went. We saw beautiful Lomgard Street, the world’s crookedest street, but 1 £ felt we were riding on one equally as crooked. When the cai stopped, there we were in this beautiful spot as Mr. X had said. We went through the Maritime Museum, the first such on the west coast. Hie Museum boasts of one of the finest ship model collections in the U.S. Ghiradelli Square at one time was a chocolate factory but is now converted into a chic showcase for shops and restaurants. Our stay here and lunch was bringing my last day in San Francisco to a close. On Saturday a.m., Mrs. Dredge, the Australian lady and I checked out of the El Cortez. Mr. X was still amused over the manner in which 1 took San Francisco. He said, “Miss Almond wanted to see a little of San Francisco and she did.” A taxi took us to the Jack Tar Hotel and we got on Parlor Car No. 50 for what proved to be the most beautiful, instructive, and exciting lengthy drive one could ever have anywhere. John Mills was our driver. Each person was asked to tell his or her living place. An Australian family was on and they lived within 10 miles of Mrs. Dredge but never met until then. There were people from Israel, Puerto Rico, Canada, Holland, Texas, Ohio, New York and I was still the only Virginian. There were three sets of sisters. We left San Francisco by way of Oakland Bay Bridge, a double deck bridge. I left a little portion of my heart in San Francisco. It is not only a beautiful city, but the people are most hospitable. They go out of their way to give assistance if it is needed. The morning’s travel took us mainly through the agricultural area which was interesting to me. Dams and aqueducts furnished a good bit of the water. Stock was grazing on what I thought dried grass. Later I learned this was not grass but wild oats. They turn brown in summer. This is good for grazing I was told. We saw fruit trees, nut trees, and olive trees. We stopped at Fjord’s Smorgette for lunch and what a lunch! After lunch John told us we would have to transfer to a Yosemite Park bus because no other bus was allowed in the Park. He said he would meet us in Fresno Monday morning to leave at 9 a.m. When we got on the Yosemite bus I wondered about the glass windows in the top of the bus. As we entered the Park, I learned that we were not. only surrounded by beauty but We could see from the top the THANK YON For all of your efforts.

The street affords a magnificent view of the city from the top and a thrilling, descent by auto or by foot. It is one of the most picturesque as it winds tortuously downhill. nassiveness of trees and rocks cowering above us. We had traveled the Sierra Range of mountains, followed the Mercedes River and an old 'ailroad track that made me wonder how not only that road jut our hard surfaced road had ieen built. We reached The Lodge n late afternoon. As we entered fosemite we were impressed by ;he massive granite walls forming ;he gateway. El Capitan towers iver one side and the Cathedral Spires and Cathedral Rocks on the other. T7ie Cathedral Spires rise 2,154 ft. and the Cathedral Rocks rise 2,678 ft. above the floor of the valley. Sentinel Rock in the south side towers more than 3,000 ft. Opposite Sentinel s an immense Rock called Three Brothers for Tanaya the Yosemite Indian Chief who was captured when the army first visited ifosemite. We were disappointed in the Falls, for the water was only a trickle down the granite walls. Ilie majority of our group was looked for The Lodge and others for the Awahnee Hotel for the light. The crown of tourists that light was so large we felt the lersonnel was not sufficient to ake care of the tourists properly it the Lodge. Sunday morning was a leautiful morning but cold. We were told the temperature was 32 iegrees. We left the Lodge about 10:45 to tour Yosemite which is leyond my description. We had lunch at Glacier Point where one can look (with or without protective fencing) more iian 3,000 ft. down on tiny luildings of Yosemite Village, tfalf Dome dominating the whole ipper end of the valley was ;hought to be “the grandest rock, n the world”.

AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER grandest piece of art.” I could agree and I thought what a wonderful place to be on Sunday. We left this point for the Maripona Grove to see the magnificent “Grizzly Giant” and the “Wawona Tunnel Tree”. These big Redwoods are said to be the largest living thing on the earth. The “Grizzly Giant” is said to be 96'/2 ft. around and 209 ft. tall and still growing. It is 3,8001 years old. Our bus was stopped! on the highway where wej transferred to an open type truck to tour this grove and go through the Tree Tunnel. Its tunnel for cars to travel through was cut for stagecoaches in 1881. I was seated in the truck so that I could touch one side of this tree as we went through. I am very proud of having gotten a picture of the tunnel as we drove through even though the shade kept it from being perfectly clear. I thought of Mr. and Mrs. Louches when we passed Badger Pass Ski Area. It has six slopes, five tows and a chair lift. We went from the Park to Fresno to the Del Webb Hotel for the night. This city has done more for the minority group than any other city. Fresno County grows more foodstuff than the state of New Jersey. The next morning John with No. 5 was there to meet us. On our way I saw a sign - Herndon, California, but we by-passed the town. On this Highway 99 we saw vineyards of grapes. We also saw cotton growing. We changed to Rt. 152 which led us to Los Banos, an extremely hot place in the summer. John told us of the famous aqueduct that is 600 miles long and runs mostly uphill and is supposed to go to Mexico when it is completed in 1972. At one of our rest stops we had a huge glass of fresh orange juice and watched the oranges squeezed. Now we were going into the rich Santa Clara Valley. Here were the orchards of fruits and nuts. We stopped at the Orchard Fruit Stand where we were invited to taste the dried fruits. These fruits are dried fresh from the orchards. How I wished for a way to bring some home. For my first time I tasted fried almonds. We hated to leave tfyis valley but soon we left Rt. 152 for Rt. 156 where walnut, fig and apricot trees were in abundance. There were also fields of Chili peppers. We went to Hollister where the vineyards belong to the Winery Company. We also saw the land belonging to the Ferris Seed Company. We saw fields of flowers grown for seed. Castroville is famous for growing artichokes. There were fields of these along our drive. There some cotton is grown. In this area are the world’s largest strawberry patches. We saw a field of tuberose begonias in bloom. We passed Fort Ord where the men leave for overseas and now for Vietnam. Fort Ord has the tremendous recreation house, due to Stilwell. He said “the little man is the most important man in the Army”. His widow lives in Carmel. We had lunch at the Fisherman’s Wharf in Monterey on its harbor where seals were barking. This was on the old Cannery Row that John Steinbeck wrote about. From some cause the sardines left the waters, so now the Row is slowly —— ■■■■■■ MiKij ■ rUIMI■ jIU-l/V More American homes are heated with Mobilheat than with any other heating oill i Mobilheat nbeans clean comfort!

Donation Day for Crippled Children’s Hospital Will Be Tuesday, Nov. 26th ine iybo Donation Day for the Crippled Children’s Hospital will be Tuesday, November 26th. At this time we appeal to all Virginians to share in oui program to restore these crippled children to physical health and usefulness. We want yo,u to know Norma. She is a lovely blond-haired one year old, bom with bilateral dislocated hips. She has never tried to stand or crawl like other babies do at this age, and her only view of the world has been from her hospital crib. When she is older, she will know that skillful surgery and treatment gave her the priceless gift of being able to run and play as other children do. An operation of her hip was performed in April, 1968; and since that time, Norma has been wearing a cast on both legs and hips to keep her in the corrected position. Norma is one of 95 young Virginians at Crippled Children’s Hospital fighting to overcome birth defects or disabilities resulting from disease or faulty development. The doctors give their skilled services, but the cost of operating a modern hospital is high. $170,000 is needed to cover the deficit for this year. Donation Day, November 26th, is the only time that the Hospital solicits voluntary contributions. The Crippled Children’s Hospital is the only entirely free crippled children’s hospital in the state of Virginia. It is open to all indigent, Virginia crippled children under 17 years of age. Donations may be mailed to the hospital at 2924 Brook Road, Richmond, Virginia 2 jfi j FALLS ARE A KILLER•STEAPY THAT LAPPER/ ■fii' iVv" ■ Set it at A SAFE ANGLE—MAKE Sure it WON'T SLIP. IP /N POUBT, PAVE SOMEONE MOLP ITf Ladders are handy for painting and doing many necessary chores around the house, but they can be dangerous. The American Insurance Association cautions that a fall from a ladder can cripple or even kill.

It seems that the doctrine of reincarnation arouses a certain amount of antagonism among some of our readers. I do not advocate believing in it if it interferes with your religious principles. Look on both sides of the coin--there are two sides. One of my critics cited an instance in the Bible where a man died and went to his punishment, another to his reward. He contends that a man is not saved by his own works, but by grace. I agree with all my heart with this exception. I believe that man can help in his soul’s advancement through his efforts, and by God’s grace. You have the choice. I believe that God’s grace was at work in the primordial slime of early creation, that through grace we have come this far. I believe that in the eternity of God we can arise from that amoebic state and become the beings, sons of God, He wants us to be. Yes, through His grace. Who can doubt that His grace extends to His creatures in whatever state of progression they And themselves? ’Tis grace that brought me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home, no matter how many incarnations before I merit that ultimate reward.

Social Security More than 175,000 children will benefit from recent changes in the social security law. It changes the conditions for determining dependency upon a working mother. Before this change, for a child to be considered dependent upon his mother and eligible for monthly social security payments when she died, retired, or became disabled, the mother needed to have worked under social security for at least Vh years out of the last three years, unless she was actually supporting the child. Hie change eliminated this recent-work requirement. Beginning with February 1968, monthly benefits are payable to the child of a woman worker who has died, retired, or become entitled to social security disability benefits if she has worked enough to be “fully insured” whether or not she has done any recent work under social security. This means that many children, who are still under age 22, who were denied benefits before, may now be paid. As an example of how this change works, take the case of Bill and Mary Jones and their three children. Of course, Bill and Mary Jones are fictitious names, is all social security records are confidential. Mary worked under social security before her marriage to Bill, then she remained home. Mary was killed in an automobile accident, leaving Bill and their three small children. Bill filed a claim for the lump-sum death payment and social security ' benefits for the three children. He ■ received the lump-sum death 1 benefits, but the children’s claim ' was denied because Mary had not 1 worked recently under social 1 security, and Bill was supporting 1 the family. With the change in the law, :f ; Bill files a new claim for benefits for the three minor children, they \ will be eligible to receive monthly cash payments. The fact that a lump-sum death payment was made indicates Mary was “fully insured.” Anyone who believes his children could now qualify under this change should contact the social security office, which is located at 20 S. Cameron St., Winchester, Va. Hie telephone number is 667-1511. Order of Publication VIRGINIA: IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY Harvey F.
