Barbara’s favorite song is “Your Love is Like a Seesaw”. Her favorite group is the “Fifth Dimension”. “Blow in my ear and Hi follow you,” is her favorite expression. Barbara’s future plans are to become a nurse. “What do adults misunderstand about teenagers the most,” was answered by Barbara with “That teenagers have their own thing.” Francis’ favorite song is “Goodbye My Love”. His favorite group is the “Temptations”, “Heck” is his favorite expression. Francis plans to join the working force when he graduates. “Adults misjudge teenagers” is Francis’ answer to “What do adults misunderstand about teenagers the most’ ?

Traffic Safety During Holidays Richmond, Va. . . Noting that Virginia saw 19 traffic deaths during the 3-day weekend which included Christmas Day last year, John T. Hanna, Director of the Virginia Highway Safety Division, asked motorists and pedestrians to be fully aware of the seasonal dangers that make this a very hazardous time of year. Virginia saw five deaths on Christmas day alone and 113 for the month. The national toll for the holiday weekend was 910. Hie main dangers listed by Mr. Hanna are as follows: 1. Drinking. On the average, alcohol is a factor in at least 50 percent of all fatal crashes. Hi is percentage increases markedly during the period immediately surrounding Christmas Day. About half the adult pedestrians killed have been drinking. 2. Darkness. December sees the shortest days of the year. The night mileage death rate in rural areas is about two and one half times that of daylight and the urban one nearly three times as high. 3. Heavy traffic. Christmas shopping and party-going bring a peak of both pedestrian and vehicular traffic to heighten the exposure. 4. Holiday inattention. At this time of year the spirit of the season is predominant in the minds of most people and its dangers are unrealistic to them. Concluding, Mr. Hanna said the Christmas season would determine whether Virginia sees a slight reduction in deaths or goes on to its eighth consecutive year in which they have increased. There were 1,223 last year. Panorama Station Goes On Five-Day Basis The Panorama restaurant and gasoline station at the intersection of Skyline Drive and U. S. 211 will operate on a five-day basis beginning December 22 and continuing through February 28, 1969, Jerry B. House Acting Superintendent, Shenandoah National Park, announced today. House said the Panorama complex will be closed on Mondays and Tuesdays and will operate the remainder of the week from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., excepting Christmas Day when facilities will also be closed. Officials of the Virginia Sky-Line Company, operators of Panorama, have assured the Park Service that any scheduled social affairs to which the Company has been committed will be carried out, House said. 1968 CHRISTMAS r> n r 9 9 a 9 9 9 9 9 Christmas Gift Ideas From WEAVER'S The Luxury Look of Lizard IIITWITf f For the Ultimate in Gift Giving, Choose j| Genuine Skin Shoes from Vitality.

Feed Supplies Seen To Be Ample Here Hie 1968-69 feeding season promises continued ample feed supplies, with a larger beginning carryover more than making up for a 3 percent decline in the feed grain crop from last year’s record. Prices have strengthened in recent weeks after trailing year-earlier levels during the summer and early fall. Further seasonal strength is expected later in the marketing year. Domestjc consumption this marketing year is expected to increase about 4 or 5 percent over 1967-68 as livestock/feed price ratios generally favor liberal feeding. With large feed grain supplies again available in Europe, feed grain exports probably will continue near last year’s level of 23 million tons. Total disappearance probably will be close to 1968’s production of 171 million tons, and little change is expected in the 1969/70 carryover from the 48 million tons carried over this year.

Progress in County Despite Inflation In Rappahannock County, as in most other sections of the country, the cost of living is considerably higher than it was a few years ago. On the basis of the latest national figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average local family needed approximately $660 more in 1968 than in 1964 to buy the same “market basket” of goods and services. That is the size of the increase for a family with a net income of $5,079, which was the local average in the past year. Families in the $10,000-per-year category required an additional $1,300 to do the same amount of purchasing as four years ago, while those with incomes of $8,000 needed nearly $1,040 more. At the $4,000 level costs were about $520 higher. All told, for the local community as a whole, the cost of inflation in the four-year period comes to no less than $924,000, it is estimated. Every phase of the economy contributed its share to the rise in the cost of living, which totals 13 percent since 1964, according to the BLS. The cost of housing, food, transportation, medical care and other commodities and services have soared in the period. Even before that, for a long time, prices had been creeping steadily higher. More recently, the rise has been at rates between l‘/2 and 2xh percent a year. During 1968, however, the jump has been considerably more than that - nearly 5 percent - the most since Korean War days. Fortunately, for most residents of Rappahannock County, the increase in the cost of living has been more than offset by higher incomes. Thus, despite inflation, the average family has been able to absorb the rise and improve its scale of living as well. According to Sales Management’s latest figures, average net income in the local area has climbed from $4,183 per household to $5,079 in the 1964 to 1968 period. The increase, 21 percent, was considerably more than the loss of 13 percent sustained in the period through inflation. Just how to halt this spiral will present the Nixon administration with a real problem. THE VILLAGE SHOP Main Street Flint Hill Last Call for Christmas Shopping — Come See! Tues. thru Sat. 10 a.m.* 6 p.m. i— Veterans Pensions For Children Children of deceased servicemen may be eligible for pensions even though their mothers are not. Ibis situation occurs under either of two circumstances: First, the unremarried widow may be ineligible because her income exceeds limits set by law. Second, when a widow receiving a pension for herself and her children remarries, she loses her personal eligibility for a pension based bn her veteran husband’s death. Minor children, however, may continue to receive pension payments in either case, even though they live with their mother. Their personal eligibility is limited only by their personal incomes. If a child’s income is greater than $1,800 per year, no pension will be paid, but the child’s earnings from work are not counted as income. A widow’s personal ineligibility should not prevent her from applying. Unless an application is made, the Veterans Administration has no way of. knowing about children who might be eligible. Pensions may be paid to certain survivors of veterans of all wars, including the Korean Conflict and the Vietnam Era, who die of causes not related to theirservice. Eligibility and the amount of pension are determined by the survivor’s income. Edwin L. Pomeroy, of the Front Royal Office of the Division of War Veterans’ Claims, is in Washington at the Clerk s Office on 1st and 3rd Monday from 2 to 4 p.m. and will gladly give more details on this subject or any other matter connected with veteran’s affairs.

Once upon a time there was a 'rog who was supposed to be ;nchanted. TTiere was a rumor hat if a pretty girl kissed him the enchantment would be broken ind he’d become a charming irince. It finally came out that he vas only a frog who could talk, ind who enjoyed kissing pretty {iris. Pretty smart frog, eh? When I was coming up if a >retty girl kissed you it meant hat you were a special sort of ;uy. I would take-off and zoom iround a half a dozen or so, {alaxies before I could get my feet planted again on good old *rra firma. Them were the days, sub. I understand that current ^sculatory practices mean little more than a hand shake. I tell my wife that I use a chapstick to keep my lips soft and kissable. Actually, it is only useo to avoid the unpleasantness of chapped lips -1 tell myself disgustedly. The point I am trying to make is this; do we deserve the love we receive. Love is truly a wonderful thing, aren’t we lucky to be able to enjoy its benefits, even in a small measure from our kind. The love we enjoy from our pets is a rewarding experience. But, when I think of the love of God I stand humble and amazed, what have I done to deserve such a blessing. He loves all of us. During this season let’s be more deserving.

Now Is Time To Start Gathering Tax Records Get a head start on the income tax Tiling season by starting now to assemble tax records. James P. Boyle, District Director of Internal Jtevenue for Virginia, emphasized that cancelled checks, receipts, records of contributions, and other financial records should be gathered now to help you prepare your 1968 Federal income tax return. 3 Complete records help to insure that taxpayers do not pay more taxes than they should and also make the job of preparing the tax return easier.

He also stressed that you should now be accumulating pertinent records and receipts so that tax filing will be easier next year. Soc. Security Notes Income from the ministry will automatically be covered by social security for taxable years ending after 1967, unless the clergyman receives from the Internal Revenue Service an exemption on the grounds that he is opposed to coverage by reason of conscience or religious principles. Clergymen who elected coverage under the previous law will continue to be covered without taking any further action. Clergymen will be treated as “self-employed individuals”! under the law and will report ' their income and make their tax contribution as if they were self 1 employed even though they may 1 be performing such service as1 employees. If a clergyman who had not 1 already chosen to come under 1 social security before 1968 does ] not wish social security coverage, < he must file an application for an | exemption and a statement that : he is opposed to receiving social security benefits based on service 1 as a clergyman, by reason of 1 conscience or religious principles. The application must be filed with Internal Revenue Service by April 15, 1970, unless he enters the ministry in 1969, or later, in which case he will have until April 15 of the second year after the year in which he became a clergyman to request exemption. Once an exemption from coverage has been received from the Internal Revenue Service it cannot be withdrawn or revoked. The new provision does not affect members of religious orders who have taken a vow of poverty. As before, they are not covered by social security.
