Meeting of Supervisors As the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors opened its December meeting, the minutes of the last meeting were read and addition noted by Mrs. Betty Coates. The minutes were amended to include that taxpayers should be notified by mail the amount of their new assessment following the reassessing this year, then they were approved. Firm in her convictions, Mrs. Coates, who is Supervisor from Piedmont District, waged a running battle for the acquisition of a Board of Equalization, following the revelations of the local Assessment Board. Enough inequities some which she cited, had been brought to her attention to make her feel the necessity of such a move and she was backed by a few of her constituents who were present for the meeting Friday. Following the reassessment of property, which occurs every six years, according to state statutes, by a state employed assessor, the information is handed a local Assessment Board for approval or re-working. The final analysis may be viewed by landowners on stipulated days. This year, they were invited to review an assessment which they had not yet viewed since the new assessment had not been mailed as originally planned. With a recorded vote on Mrs. Coates’ motion for an Equalization Board it was defeated with a rate of: 1 - for; 4 against and 1 - abstaining. Passed, however, was a request to the Circuit Court Judge to extend the tenure of the present Assessment Board for a three-month period to iron out inequities and give the landowners more time for comparisons. The Board consists of H. S. Barksdale, T. V. Williams and Aylette Buckner, jr. Resident Engineer James Skeens was present to explain that it was not feasible to put a cross-over on the proposed dual lane of Route 211 at the entrance of Payne’s Garage. At that point, he said, there would be an 11-foot difference in the elevation of the two lanes. The new construction will be 11 feet lower than the existing lane resulting in a 20% grade on the crossover. In connection with road egislation, O. A. Norton, Superintendent of Schools requested a esolution on the ncorporating of the entrance to ;he new elementary school in the secondary road system. Additional school warning signs >n the highway were deemed lecessary by Commonwealth’s Attorney George H. Davis, Jr. Mr. Skeens stated that school signs rad been painted in the road in he past week and that he would check the situation at the school traffic rush hour. Mr. Norton also reported the satisfactory closing of transactions on the sale of the Washington and Amissville Graded Schools which were sold recently. They brought $4,600 and $6,000 respectively. Miss Judy Burtner of Augusta County was introduced to the group as an applicant for position of Extension Agent, Home Economics, here. She received approval and will begin work in January. She is presently an assistant agent in Brunswick County. Sam Dunn, Highway Safety Co-Ordinator for the Virginia Safety Division, explained the workings of a loo-*1 safety commission. A comi - was formed with the U'bowing members: Supervisor Norman Wilbur, Slate Mills; R. E. Wood, Sperryville; Prank Huff, Flint Hill, active in rescue squad activities; Deputy Sheriff John Walker Jenkins and local driver education director. Insurance needs on county buildings and contents were discussed and Supervisor L. H. Luttrell was appointed to investigate adequate coverage costs and availability. Trash trouble which has been manifested of recent weeks was discussed. The refuse company servicing the county has had several break downs with equipment resulting in extreme over accumulation. The company is paid only for the trips made and order is expected to be restored with regular pick ups. A member of the Bartenstein surveying association was present to show maps which the county should have in connection with the boundary survey. Upon scrutinizing the original contract with this company, it was believed that these maps were a pSxi of the contract already paid for. This was tabled until another meeting. Bids will be taken on repair and painting work to be done on the county buildings in the spring. A report on public assistance requests was given by Mrs. Elizabeth Buntin, Welfare Superintendent, and the board approved payment at the discretion of Mrs. Buntin as far as available funds will go.

Warns Of Con Artists The Potomac Edison Company today issued a warning to its customers that con artists are posing as employees of the utility company in efforts to bilk customers of money or other material payments. Mr. E. W. McCauley, District Manager of Potomac Edison, said that a number of cases have been reported in recent weeks in various sections of Potomac Edison’s service area. Persons falsely identifying themselves as Potomac Edison employees have used various schemes to collect money from customers, and in some of these cases, have collected substantial sums. “Any employee of our company whose job requires calling on the public carries an identification card with the employee’s photo on it,” said Mr. McCauley. He urged that any customer approached by a person claiming to be a Potomac Edison employee insist on identification, unless of course, they definitely know the person is a Potomac Edison employee. If any doubt remains, the utility manager urges customers to call the nearest Potomac Edison office for verification. New IGA Store To Open in Washington, Va. December 19 A modern, 4,500 square foot IGA food store will’open In Washington, Virginia on Gay Street on December 19. The store will be owned and operated by Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Sophia and will be a member store of the giant IGA food chain. IGA has over 4,000 food stores in the United States and is second only in size to A&P Company. This will be the first IGA store in Rappahannock County. The store will feature a modem complete meat department, produce department, dairy department, frozen foods, and a complete line of groceries and health and beauty aids. The store will operate on the same low price cash and carry policies as the other members of the IGA chain. The owner, Mr. Sophia said, ‘We are delighted to bring a complete modern food store to this lovely section of the country. It has always been my ambition to own and operate a store of my awn and I am most happy to have this connection with IGA and this tine community. The people that I have met here already have been /ery helpful and we are looking :orward to a long period of PL. \ -j service to this community.” Both Mr. Sophia and his wife, Georgia, will work in the store along with other employees who are hired locally. Mr. Sophia’s long range plans are to improve the building further and to add a parking lot on the north side ol the building. Mr. Sophia said, “Our IGA studies have shown that Rappahannock County is beginning now to grow and to justify a modem food store. In the years to come I expect to see the population, the income, and the real estate values increase much more rapidly than in the past. We want to be a part of this growth. Furthermore, a modem food store will be an encouragement to people to live in this area." IGA was founded in 1927 in Chicago by J. Frank Grimes Since that time it has grown to be one of the major chains in the food world, There is one bask difference from IGA and from the other major chain stores. IGA stores are owned by the operator ; Therefore, the customer can talk to the owner of the chain when she is in his store. The slogan ol IGA is, “The owner’s in the store.” mmmmnmn m PI ii ■■ mu* Mil ii iiiii i iiiiii—mi i mm ■—i— AmB’sville Fire Department responded to a fire Saturday morning at the Village Beauty Salon just east of Amissville.

Are they more liable or less liable to meet with an accident of some sort-automobile or otherwise-in a given year? According to a government survey, just released, local people seem to be somewhat more accident-prone than the average. The general accident record locally is viewed alongside that of other communities. It is based upon data compiled by the U. S. Public Health Service, in connection with its annual vital statistics survey, and by the National Safety Council. The findings are of special interest at this time because of the mounting concern over the high accident rate in the United States. The figures show that nearly 11 million people suffered injuries during the past year that disabled them for more than one day. Some 39 million others received minor injuries. According to the survey, there were 8 fatal accidents among* Rappahannock County, residents, during the year ending Januray 1, 1967, with motor vehicles responsible for 4 of them. And, for each fatal one, there were nearly 100 other that did not result in loss of life. Taken into account were all types of accidents in which local people were involved, wherever they occurred. Not included, however, were local accidents affecting non-residents. Related to the local population, the toll in the area was at the rate of 163 fatalities per 100,000 people. TTiis was higher than the average rate reported for the United States as a whole, 57 per 100,000. It was higher, also, than the South Atlantic States rate of 62 per 100,000. Accidents took the lives of 112,000 Americans during the year. Motor vehicles accounted for 47 percent of them, followed by falls, 18 percent. Tlie National Safety Council estimates the cost of accidents at $21.3 billion in the year. TTiis includes loss of wages, medical expenses, property damage and the like. Rappahannock County’s share of this cost, assuming that the average cost per accident applies locally, comes to approximately $1,620,000.

When asked, “What do adults misunderstand about teenagers the most?” he answered “Adults forget that they were once teenagers.” Thistle Control Advice Offered BLACKSBURG-The best way to control curled and musk thistle is to stop it before it starts, says Dr. Harlan White, Virginia Tech Extension agronomist. “It is much more efficient to maintain vigorous, productive pastures so that they are able to resist invasion by the thistle than to have to fight to rid yourself of the weeds after they get a foothold, he said. Jj Fertilization of pastures this winter will help keep bare areas, where thistle can easily germinate, knitted together tightly with sod. This will keep thistles and other weeds out and at the same time increase the feed available from the pasture he said. Soil should be tested and pastures fertilized accordingly this winter and early spring. Over-grazing and trampling to the point where pasture plants are inured also leave open areas in the sod which invite weed invasion and decreased production, Dr. White added. Tests conducted by Extension agents in Pulaski and Clarke counties showed that with an ..- ” ■"I A Christmas Present For You— And Your Dog I or you. there's .1 SI.00 saving.

These weeds not only reduce the amount of forage available by 25 per cent, but produce thousands of seeds to infest additional areas next year. Each thistle leaves a bare spot when it dies after flowering. This bare area is a prime location for the thistle seeds to germinate and grow this winter and next spiring, Dr. White said. Activity Reported On Local Real Estate A radio performer with his own popular show on a Washington D.C. station, a writer-editor for U.S. News & World Report, two officials of the World Bank, a physician and an official of a savings and loan association all bought Rappahannock properties within a six weeks period, it was announced today by Edward A. Harris & Associates, of Washington, Va. : Two of the new property owners, the disc jockey and the Army doctor, plan to commute every work day to their offices in the District. The radio personality is William (Bill) Trumbull, who conducts the Bill Trumbull Show each weekday over Radio Station WMAL from 2 to 6 p.m. He and bis wife Nancy sold their Maryland home and bought a remodeled two-story frame home on sixty-two acres in Sycamore Hollow from Mrs. Ernest Russell, of Arlington. There is a small productive apple orchard on the land and a branch of the Thornton River runs at its edge. Dr. John Kalas and his wife, Jean, bought the 200-acre historic farm of Mr. and Mrs. George Taylor in Sperryville, the main house of which is located high on a knoll with a commanding view of the countryside. Here in a log cabin, now covered with frame, Charles Bryan, a brother of William Jennings Bryan, was reared. The Taylors have moved to Culpeper. Vemon Haslup, the savings and loan official, bought the 42-acre mountain farm of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur C. Elmore in Sycamore Hollow, where he is improving the stone and frame home that originally was built more than 100 years ago, according to older Inhabitants of the hollow. Mr. Elmore recently returned from a two-year tour of duty in Vietnam, serving in the AID program, and he and his wife have bought a house in Morganton, ■ North Carolina. 1 The third sale made in Sycamore Hollow in the same size week period involved a 143-acre mountain tract deep in the hollow owned by Henry C. Gore, who has contracted to sell it to the (wo World Bank officials, John A. Holsen and Marto Ballesteros of Washington, D. C. The Holsen family already owns adjoining land sold to them by Edward A.

U.S. Food World’s Best Food Bargain When you sit down to eat youi Christmas dinner, you will b< getting the best food bargair available anywhere in the world according to H. S. Barksdale Chairman, Agricultura Stabilization and Conservatior County Committee.

Marsh Has Praise For Student Leaders Winchester, Dec, 3. Rep. John O. Marsh, Jr., praised here tonight “student leadership training organizations organized in the high schools with the co-operation of community service groups”. The 7th District Congressman spoke at charter ceremonies of the Key Club at Handley High School sponsored by the Winchester Kiwanis Club. Marsh said that “organizations af this type for young people provide tremendous opportunities for leadership training, as well as a means of meaningful contribution to community life by young men and women of high school age.” Marsh suggested that the local chapter might wish to give special attention to the bicentennial of the American Revolution. He pointed out that the bicentennial period of that epic struggle is now occurring, and plans are being made for its observance in various parts of the United States. Because of the contributions of this area of Virginia, he stated that it would have special meaning in any such celebration. “TTiis part of Virginia made immense contributions to the Revolution, both in a geographic sense and in leadership of the Colonial cause,” Marsh noted. One of the main reasons that we must look at this period in history is not simply for historic examination, but in order to achieve a better understanding as THE VILLAGE SHOP Main Street Flint Hill Memo Pads for Christmas — Come See — Tues. thru Sat. 10 a.m.- 6 p.m. ROUND & SQUARE DANCE SATURDAY.

Well, I know a woman Will throw almost anything if she is aggravated enough, but, to take a dab of mud and make it come out a thing of delicate beauty is a terminology of which I am wholly unfamiliar. I would think her a master of her trade. As I viewed her handiwork I thought of the pottery mentioned in Omar Khayam’s Rubaiyat (not that there is any comparison) as / the pots are speaking among themselves: None answered this; but aftei silence spake A vessel of a more ungainly make: “They sneer at me for leaning all awry; What? Did the hand of the potter shake?” It is my understanding that some potters make their wares as grotesque as possible for some of their clientele. The hand of the potter shakes purposely in creating these objects. We used to sing a song in which these words were found: “Thou are the Potter, I am the clay.” Do we cause the hand of the Potter to shake by the way we live, aren’t we responsible for our leaning all awry’? There was a jayirig, proverb or something, when I was a young man that went something like this: “There s a divinity that shapes our ends, •ough hew them though we may.” To me that indicates that] ?ach individual has a part in TURKEY SHOOT Every Friday Night at 7:30 Washington Carnival Grounds Turkey*, Ham, Oysters, Quarter of Beef, Bacon and Other Small Prizes.

Park Service Steps Up Hunting Patrols The apprehension of several men hunting within the boundaries of Shenandoah National Park has brought about an increase and lengthening of patrol activities by Park Rangers. Superintendent R. Taylor Hoskins report%d two Charlottesville hunters were recently caught with a loaded Chester Gap Area Social News Mrs. Stanley Williams Mr. and Mrs. Ronnie Wines and family of the Strashing Road visited Mr. and Mrs. Hubie Gilkey and family Thursday night. Mr. and Mrs. Harrison Mahoney moved last week into an apartment on Main St. in Front Royal. Mr. and Mrs. “Danny” Hickerson and baby moved several weeks ago into their new home here. They had been living with his parents Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Hickerson, Sr. Mrs. Bertha North spent Saturday night with her daughter Mrs. Alfred Sealock and family. Mrs. Lonnie Williams spent last Thursday in Warrenton with her Aunt Mrs. Vessie Settle and later firearm in the Park and had damaged a locked Park gate. They were fined a total of $560 plus $104 to repair the gate. A few of those apprehended have been in the Park because they did not check their map or read the State hunting law booklet. The entire Park boundary is well marked with red blazes and signs. Several of those cited have been intentional violators who have full knowledge of where they were and that they were violating Park regulations. Unfortunately these people show not only a disregard for the law, but also for the rights and property of others. Gates that are broken or damaged must be repaired at the taxpayers’ expense. Park wildlife is often left dead or dying along park roads. It would appear many of those using the Park as a hunting area do not realize the possible consequences. Federal law provides that not only may the violater suffer fine and/or jail sentence, but he may also have any guns and automobile used in the violation confiscated. On several occasions in the past, persons found guilty of bunting in Shenandoah National Park have lost their guns and their cars.

Front Royal 635-3118 Your Southern States Cooperative Agency December 16, reports Game Commission Game Management Field Coordinator Kit Shaffer. Hie term “gobblers only,” which has been used rather loosely in connection with such seasons, is somewhat misleading in that young gobblers won’t be sporting visible beards while a very few old hens will be bearded and will be legal game. Restricting the hunting in 34 Eastern Virginia counties to bearded turkeys only We Can Supply All Your CULPEPER BUILDING & SUPPLY CORP. Phone VA5-8383 Culpeper, Va was a step reduce the killing of hens and increase turkey flocks in this area. “Neither size, shape, color nor actions are sufficient for positive identification of legal turkeys in the fall,” says Shaffer. “Young gobblers may show the proper coloring and shape but lack a beard, and an old hen may look like the biggest bird in the woods when seen all alone. Hie beard is the only way to identify a legal target,” he said. Even bearded birds are often viewed by the hunter from angles at which the beards cannot be seen. Flying birds will be nearly impossible to identify on the wing. Shaffer recommends flushing the flock without shooting and then calling them back from a concealed position where the hunter will have time to study the approaching birds for evidence of beards. The old saying “it’s better to be safe than sorry” is the best advice for turkey enthusiasts in Eastern Virginia this fall. Soc.

"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 as 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 benefit, but the children’s claim was denied because Mary had not worked recently under social security, and Bill was supporting the family.
