On a date in January, to be announced later in the Rappahannock News, the Board of Assessors will sit in session at the Court House for the purpose of discussing and considering all such complaints. Signed: Board of Assessor: I M. G. Watt® Injured in Christmas Eve Collision; Other Wrecks Marion G. Watts of Washington sustained serious injuries in a collision Christmas Eve ori Route 522 about three miles south of Woodville. He received multiple bone fractures including both legs, ribs and collarbone and lacerations of the face and head. He was taken to Culpeper Hospital by the Rappahannock Rescue Squad and then on to theyUniversity of Virginia Hospital. Since then he has been transferred to McGuire Veterans Hospital, Richmond. The collision occurred about 9 p.m. as Mr. Watts was traveling south on Route 522 in a 1968 Plymouth. According to Trooper J. B. Willis who investigated the crash, the Watts vehicle veered into the northbound lane and struck the tandem wheels of a; tractor-trailer rig1 he was meeting.! The 65 Mack tractor was owned by Bralley Willet Tank Lines, Inc. of Richmond and was operated by James Thomas Jett of Fredericksburg. Two cars collided on Route 612 in Sycamore Hollow two miles north of Sperryville on December 28. A 1966 Ford operated by Donal Bruce Day was struck by a 62 Chevrolet operated by George Edward Woodard. Both drivers are of Sperryville. According to Trooper Willis, the vehicles met on a curve and Woodard skidded into the side of Day. Woodard was charged with failing to drive to the right of the road. The following day, a single-vehicle crash occurred on Route 522 north of Flint Hill. A 67 Chevrolet owned and operated by Herbert Jackson Mitchell of Martinsburg, W. Va. ran off the right of the road, veered back across to the left, through a fence and came to rest in a field. The driver had lacerations of the head. The vehicle was a total loss and Mitchell was charged with reckless driving. Henry Edward Gore of Sperryville was charged with failing to drive to the right of the road when he collided with Jacqueline Diane Polak of Alexandria January 5. The crash occurred on Route 231 south of Sperryville. Gore was operating a 67 Chevrolet convertible when he met the Polak car, a 62 Oldsmobile. He swerved into the other traffic lane and struck the Polak car, said Trooper J. B. Willis. Damage to the Chevrolet was estimated at $300 and to the Olds at $450. Trooper Paul P. Dicks investigated a two-vehicle (Continued on pay;e 3, Deer Kill Double From Previous Year By Irvin Kenyon, Game Warden The 1968-69 deer kill in Rappahannock County approximately doubled that of the previous year. 78 deer were killed and checked in Rappahannock. When the checking cards from the adjoining counties are turned in the county 'will probably show a kill of about 85. This is compared the last years official harvest of 41. This year’s figure is more in keeping with what has been the county’s usual kill, which had been averaging about 100. Those hunters scoring late in the season included: Robert Sealock of Falls Church, a 2 point buck; Doug Calhoun, Front Royal, 9 points; Kenneck Stickly, Strasburg, 4 points; John Rohebough, Centreville, 2 points; and Dorsey W. Rohebough of Fairfax with a doe. Also taking bucks were B. J. Moss of Castleton, an 8 pointer and Floyd Cubbage, Stanley, 9 points. TTie Sperryville area seemed to be the best producer during the latter part of the season. The Sperryville hsso checked in the following: Bruce Painter, Lurav. 8 points; Harry Baily, Prince William Co., 4 points; Phil Eggleson, Rixeyville, 8 points; Manual Dodson, Orange, 9 points; Joseph Mathews, Stanley, 8 points; Nelson Conner, Shenandoah, 12 points; Dexter Lowery', Luray, 4 points; Arther Lucas, Shenandoah? 6 points: Kenneth Good, Stanley, a buck; Denver Drain, Stanley, 7 points; James Blosser, Stanley, a buck; Jesse Painter, Stanley, a doe; Roger Armstrong, Warrenton, a doe; Randol Waters, Luray, a doe. Two hunters from Woodville each got a doe, the last day. They were Jesse Jenkins and James Jenkins. Guy Camerson, Dennis Ferrell and James Scott each checked a turkey at Chester Gap, killed in Warren and Fauquier 'counties. Turkey “>asrri on bearded turkeys only is in until January 15, 1969 in Fauquier and Culpeper counties. Needless to say there are always going to be some disappointed hunters in any season, but it seems that overakf this past season can be termed k successful one. Not only was the harvest up on deer but a good number of "bragging” ty pe deer were taken. Almost all the deer taken were in prime condition. With cold weather cutting down on hunting pressure late in the season and a lack of snow needed to move the deer out of the Park, hunters still scored fairly well late in the season. Ski season got underway at Skyline Ski Area, Washington. Va. during the weekend There has been no natural precipitation, but the continuous low temperatures has made it possible to cover two slopes with artilkial snow Last weekend, one slope was in use and snow machines busy on another By mid week, the second slope was in good condition Ine Mint mu rire Company has purchased a new rescue squad ambulance. The vehicle, a 1969 Plymouth Suburban was obtained through Russell Brothers, the Chrysler-Plymouth agency in Flint Hill. It was equipped at Automotive Conversions with red lights, siren, stretchers, etc Early in December Emory Russell and Douglas Bywaters went to Detroit and drove the vehicle here. The doors have been lettered and the vehicle is now in use. Frank Huff, Captain of the Flint Hill Rescue Squad, is seen with the new ambulance. The company also kept the older unit.

Marsh Seeks Aid For Fire, Rescue Squads Rep. John O Marsh, Jr , has introduced in Congress, two bills to assist volunteer fire companies and rescue squads. One, which Marsh had sponsored in the previous! Congress, would give these non profit organizations a priority in the receipt by donation or purchase of surplus federal equipment of use to them. Hie other would give volunteer lire departments and rescue squads the reduced postage rale available to numerous other (lasses of non-profit organizations "The voluntary and non profit character of these local fire companies and rescue squads represents a substantial reduction in potential charges on the taxpayer for the services rendered, wh(ch, otherwise, would have to be supported fully by taxes," Marsh commented, "in these circumstances, therefore, they should participate m the recognition federal law has given, ill the public interest to other service functions performed by non profit, voluntary organizations Mr Marsh has reintroduced legislation in Congress to authori/.e federal acquisition of land hHd under option by the Veterans of Foreign Wars in Culpeper. Va , for a proposed extension to the national cemetery there In offering the bill again, the 7th District Congressman said: I have no illusions that this bill in support of the fine VWI effort in Culpeper will receive approval unless the Congress is inclined to re-examine policy on national cemetery burial rights for our veterans, but 1 believe this re-examination is overdue, and I hope my bill may call attention to this matter Marsh added that he saw merit in proposals supported by other members of Congress to use space in j national battlefield parks for veteran burials "The well maintained national cemetery at Culpeper is one of the few in the United States where space remains available to veterans, and the time is running out o- a national policy deU .nation as to whether or not the United States is willing to provide honored public bunal space for its veterans of all wars," Marsh commented Taxes, Trash, Roads Among Initial Problems Facing Supervisors in *69 An operational and fiscal summary for Rappahannock County covering fiscal 1967-*58 w;ts presented the Board of Supervisors at the regular meeting Friday by Highway Resident Kngineer James K.

RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED-THURSDAY MORNING At Washington, Rappahannock County, Va. Telephone: WASHINGTON 675-3319 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. Letter To Editor: Editor Rappahannock News Rumblings and grumblings and rumors about unfair, haphazard tax assessments are heard in all sections of the county today. My supervisor, Mr. Miller, informs me that most of the rumors are just not true; however, he does say that the “Scuffle Hill-Hamden Hall” scoop is true but that now a change has been made here and “Scuffle Hill” is now assessed af $12,000 instead of $18,000 and that “Hamden Hall” is nowassessed at $20,000 instead of $15,000. At a recent visit to the office of the Board of Assessors, I found the following houses listed thus: our own house - $15,000; Col. McN ear’s - $15,000; Lane’s “Clover Hill” $15,000; Thornton Hill - $15,000; Nelson Nethers’ - $15,000; R. W. Miller’s (F.T. Valley) - $15,000; Carson Johnsons $15,600; R. Fox (former Pat Miller house) - $13,000; D. Lyle Miller’s ■ !$13,000; Col. Noee’s brick tenant house - $13,000;Col. Noce’s -dwelling - $30,000; Catherine and Billy Wayland’s - $12,000; Thos. Williams’ - $12,000; E. W. Jones’ - $20,000; C. E. Johnson’s $24,000; Ralph Styer’s - $17,000, and Carroll Quaintance’s $18,000. Some unique comparisons and contrasts can be made from these figures. The same can be said when viewing the assessment figures of the state assessor versus the Board of Assessors in some instances. I feel sure that a study of acreage assessment will show that the large landholder is assessed at a lower rate than the «small andholder. In fact, ^one assessment card which I copied shows a large tract of land assessed at a lump sum which amounts to $20 per acre. This is more than ridiculous. Most orchards which are assessed separately (many have not been assessed this way) are valued at $175 per acre. The highest orchard assessment I found was the aged Grigsby orchard which adjoins our place on the west. This one is assessed at $250 per acre. There is a feeling among some of the disgruntled ones that they would like to organize into a civic group of some kind for the purpose of making a study of the past and present patterns of assessment and then make a report of their findings to the public through the county newspaper Pauline Bruce P. S. To Mr. Neff: I feel sure that you will or have made it quite clear to your government students that while 90 percent of the people hold 10 percent of the land, at the same time they control 90 percent of the vote and in this way they can control how their 10 percent of the land will be used - as well as other matters of local government. Letter □ear Editor: Not too many weeks ago I nade the following statement in this paper: “There, is no place 1 would rather live than in Rappahannock.” I feel even stronger about that statement today, for where else would I have found the many kind acts and attention from the very beginning of my accident all through these painful days? It has been difficult to accept all of this kindness without writing each person. Since this is impossible, I would like, through you, to express my deep appreciation and thanks to all o those friends in Rappahannock and outsiders as well, for making my days worth living. The kindness of the rescue squad boys, the beautiful flowers, gifts, visits, phone calls, cards, candies, and all the Christmas goodies including fruit and Christmas decorations and the assistance of friends, neighbors and relatives makes me realize that “my cup runnefh over” with blessings. Thank you so very much. May your New Year be blessed in every day. Come to see me. Sincerely, Annie Miller Almond Letter to Editor i Dear Reader: . <■> Looking back to 196-1 I remember that the initial purposes of the Rappahannock Arts and Crafts Project were four fold: upgrading the artistic quality of man-made items for sale in local gift shops; providing workshops and instruction in both old and new crafts; locating a market for people who want to sell what they m&de and MOST IMPORTANT, getting people of like interests together for sharing and for fellowship. r rankly, the Arts and Crafts Group has not grown very fast in membership, in spite of our open invitation to one and all, but, we are proud of our own broadened interests and skills in a great variety of crafts and of the little sparks of inspiration which started new fires of enthusiasm and monetary profit for a few, and blessed us all with enjoyment. In a modest way we have achieved all four of our objectives. Some shops in the county now sell crafts actually made by local men and women instead of mass produced imports from other states. Mrs. Mary Cleverley whose shop is in Flint Hill finds there is more demand than supply and wants more local crafts to offer. Others would stock more local stuff if they could get it. In the last few years workshops have been offered in bottoming chairs, quilting, basket making, lamp shades, knitting, block printing, ceramics, Christmas ornaments, Flemish- flower arrangements and plastic resin casting. We have also sponsored lipfr-ial drawing and painting groups. A friend asked “Why do you i want to make that when you can buy it for a little more cf the cost of materials?” She missed the point completely. If that were true, which it isn’t, it still misses ! the point that people NEED , hobbies ’ They NE^D to be creative. Crafts are taught in the j Armed Services, ip Community I Centres and in hospitals for the handicapped, the mentally ill and the aged. jYork with the hands is good for us because it provides | relief from the monotony of humdrum chores, and relaxation and creative self expression. And those who join a neighbor in the pursuit of their hobby finds still another reward, the joy of sharing. Won’t you join our group? The next meeting is at Cab Inn in Sperryville, Tuesday, January 14 at 10 a m. Mrs. Ruth Pillar is our president. Your neighbor, Helen Kilby Consider Spring Tree Planting Now William C. Vemam, Forester for Rappahannock County, reports that even though spring appears to be a long way off.yvith more cold weather and snow probable in January and February, landowners should be thinking about and planning for spring reforestation projects. Spring planting season will be here sooner than we think and landowners planning to reforest land this spring during March and early April should contact Mr. Vernam* in Warrenlon or Chief Forest Warden Raymond M. Johnson in Woodville so that they may obtain free planting assistance from the Virginia Division of Forestry Free planting site examinations are available through the forest ; management assistance program of the Virginia Division of i Forestry. A planting site examination consists of looking at the proposed planting site and the making of recommendations for planting as to the best method of setting the trees, desirable species to plant, spacing and number of trees needed to plant the area. Assistance is also given in ordering trees from tlu; slat forest tree nurseries loblolly pine, .white pine, shortleaf pine, Virginia pine, yellow poplar, black locust and green ash are available at a cost of $15.00 to $10.50 per thousand trees delivered to the planting site. | About eOO seedlings will plant an acre of abandoned land.

Cover each animal completely with the spray: saturate the hair to point of run-off. Repeat in 10 days only if needed. Do not treat sick animals nor calves under a month old. Coumaphos: Use 2 lbs. of 25% coumaphos wettable powder or 1 pint of coumaphos emulsion concentrate (lgallon contains 1 lb. of coumaphos) in 25 gallons of water. Larger quantities of spray can be prepared by mixing 8 lbs. of the wettable powder or 2 quarts of emulsion concentrate in 100 gallons of water. ^ sc in uign-jjrfbbure, mechanically-agitated sprayers only. Maintain a pressure in the sprayer of 250 lbs. or more per square inch. Wet completely all parts of each animal. From 2 to 6 quarts of spray will be required per animal, depending on its size and length of hair. One treatment is usually sufficient. Repeat applications only when necessary. Caution: Do not apply coumaphos spray to animals less than 3 months old, and do not spray sick, convalescent or stressed livestock. Safety Precautions: Coumaphos is extremely poisonous. If you become sick during or after handling this insecticide, see your doctor immediately.

Agent, Home Economics From comments made by several persons in Rappahannock County to the Extension home economist, it is felt that not ail residents understand the duties of an extension home economist, formerly referred to as a home demonstration agent. To take advantage of the service she offers to a county, the residents need to understand her duties. Therefore this article will attempt to describe an extension home economists role in a county. The Extension home economist is a neia - stan members ana representatives of the Extension Division of Virginia Polytechnic Institute assigned to a given geographical area, in this case, Rappahannock County. The agent is to furnish leadership necessary to carry out an effective Home Economics program in the area, not only working with home demonstration and 4-H members, but all the residents of that particularly area. The agent initiates and conducts problem solving procedures with clientele to determine the situation, problem: and objective of the Home) Economics program; olans the educational content to assist in solving the identified problems;; and to carry out and evaluate the program. In carrying out these; responsibilities, the agent works! with adult and youth in major phases such as: family economics, home management; consumer education; human relations; foods and nutrition; clothing and. textiles; home furnishings and related arts; housing; health and safety; and community leadership development. The past two paragraphs may seem a little vague but generally the agent is placed in a county to work with all residents when called upon by those resident. The agent can furnish assistance relating to the home; whether building, remodeling, or decotating; to activities within the home such as budgeting, managing time and resources. Use; and selection of household equipment and furnishings; the buying and preparation of food; good nutritional habits; selection and care of clothing; clothing construction; and human relationships. The agent is also responsible for assisting community leaders to develop and use their leadership to their best advantage; not only in the development of community clubs, such as home demonstration and 1 H clubs but also individually. The agent would like the residents of Rappahannock to know that she is happy to be in the county and is looking forward to working with the people. She hopes that the residents of the county will feel free to call upon her at any tin^s for assistance. The agent may not always know the answer but she knows where to find them. Please stop by to see , her when in Wahashington. She may be reached by phone at 675-3619. Dates to remember: Chester Gap Home Demonstration Club will meet Thursday, January 9, at 7:30 p.m. at the Chester Gap Fire House. Arts and Crafts Group will meet Tuesday, January 14 at 10:00 am. at the Cab Inn, Sperryville. The group is planning to make plans for the coming year. Any interested residents are invited to attend. More Spent Locally To Improve Homes Homeowners in Rappahannock County spend a tidy sum each year on the maintenance and improvement of their homes. In the past year alone, their expenditures for alterations, additions, repairs and upkeep came to approximately $237,000, it is estimated. The amount is based upon a sampling survey of dwellings in all sections of the United States. The finding is that the average expenditure for residential upkeep and improvement in Rappahannock County’s general area came to $187 per housing unit. Not included in this figure! were the normal, everydayj household and housekeeping! expenses. That was the average outlay. In individual cases, it varied widely from that amount, both up and down. The explanation is that most homeowners will undertake major improvements one year and then do nothing of an expensive nature for several years thereafter. Details on how much is spent for such purposes and how much it adds tc\ the v^lue of a home comes frorh 4he' Department of Commerce and the National Association of Real Estate Boards. They show that the outlay in this direction, for the nation as a whole, amounted to $11.7 billion in the past year. How did Rappahannock County homeowneri spend their $237,000 share of it? A breakdown, based upon the overall figures, indicates that about 62 percent of it went for additions, alterations and replacements. The other 38 percent was for maintenance and repairs. Almost half of this total was for painting and decorating. The rest was spent for plumbing, roofing, heating, air conditioning and miscellaneous purposes. Because of the difficulty these days in obtaining plumbers, electricians, painters and other workmen for jobs around the house, more and more homeowners are becoming their own mechanics. They are saving themselves a pretty penny at the same time. Nationally, it is estimated, the price of homes has gone up about $1,000 per unit, on average, in the past year. Taking into account, also, the value added by improvements, Rappahannock County homes are worth about $1,506,000 more than they were in 1967, on that basis.

File Tax Returns with IRS in Philadelphia Individual Federal income tax returns should no longer be Tiled with the Internal Revenue Service district offices in Virginia, but with the IRS Service Center, Philadelphia, Pa. 19165, beginning January 1. This applies both to tax returns and remittances and those with refunds due. The IRS Mid-Atlantic Region, which includes Virginia, is the latest to require direct filing of all individual income tax returns with IRS regional service centers, under a law enacted November 2, 1966, Mr. Boyle, District Director of Internal Revenue, said today. Direct filing of returns will eliminate initial handling at the district office, and avoid necessity for trans-shipment to the Philadelphia Service Center. Mr. Boyle emphasized that direct filing will in no way curtail services taxpayers have been accustomed toreceiving from the IRS district office. He said, “By relieving the district office of the burden of receiving returns and preparing them for trans-shipment, we will have a greater opportunity to render services to taxpayers.” EVERY ITEM ON SALE SMITH’S BETTER MEN’S WEAR 2JO HAS l' MAIN ST — FRONT ROYAL.

Social Security Tax Again Increased One of the first things that will; greet every working person with | the dawn of the new year will be an increase in social security taxes. Social security payment deductions from wage and salary checks will rise to 1.8 per cent of I earnings up to 87,800. This means that any employee with earnings of $7,^00 will pay $374.40 in social security taxes. Employers will pay an equal #mount. Thus, 'he total tax take in the name of "social security” will reach nearly 10 per cent of taxable payrolls. Nearly 10 per cent of every dollar up to maximum taxable earnings will go to the federal government to pay ! f o r social security and (medicare as much as 8718.80 per employee. And more increases in [this tax are corning in the years (ahead. By 1087, it will amount to !5.9 per cent each for employee (and employer. A little pamphlet issued by the Associated Industries of Alabama, entitled "Another Chunk Out of Your Check," explains why social security costs are increasing so rapidly. There are two main reasons One, alp-eut number of people are now getting benefits which come to more than the itaxes they and their employers (have paid into social security. (Two, Congress has changed the law many times to (a) add more groups to the program, (b) make it easier to get benefits, (c) increase the benefits, and (d) add medicare. Each change costs both employees and employers more money. So remember, among those who will be first to greet you in the new year will be the tax collector.

When papa was about ready to go into town to do the weekly shopping, mama would copje out to the barnyard and ask, “Are (sounded like ‘air’) you goin’ to kiss me goodbye?” Papa would go over to her like.ja bashful boy, and give her a kiss. When he returned the children received individual bags of stick candy, mama got chocolates. For more than sixty years this situation endured. When papa left us, I think a little of mama died with him. She never quite got over his passing, she thought he was near her or wished for her to come on home. I hope that in God’s house ot many rooms they are near each other. Is that the kind of love tire man was singing about? They say that God does not change, that His love for us is an abiding love. How about our love for Him, is it the same as it used to be? When I see so many empty pews in His house on Sundays, I have my doubts. Are we putting other gojds before HIM; such as televisto'fi,' tfile'golf'course, the1 open road or just plain old indifference?

Most of the decrease occurred in the central mountain section, and apparently resulted from, the Game Commission’s decision to move the antlerless deer day from the first to the last of the season to reduce the doe harvest. The doe kill was about half the number taken the year before. The buck kill increased noticeably. Most southwestern counties with a bucks only season showed moderate increases in kill. Bath County was again tops with a kill of 1,543. Rockingham County stayed in second place with a kill of 1,216 followed by Augusta County with 937. Both Augusta and Bath were down over 200 animals from last year’s totals. The season was apparently a good one for the state’s bowhunters who bagged 198 deer in western counties as opposed to 185 from this section last year.

Benefit Washinqton Fire Co. and Rappahannock Rescue Squad Holiday Telephoning Reached New Peak Telephone calling reached a lew peak this Christmas, iccording to Wayne Dementi, the ocal manager of The Chesapeake ind Potomac Telephone Company of Virginia. The new 'ulpeper Communications Center landled approximately 8,04 5 toll •alls. Of these, 6,300 were dialed >v the customer. More than 650,000 long lislance calls were placed on Christmas from Virginia, with nore than 2,500 Operators equired to handle the flood of loliday messages. This is about f 1 percent of the total operating orce. It was a real busy time for the relephone Company people, said he C&P Manager. Since Christmas this year fell on Wednesday, most people had only i one day leave from their work, ;hus curtailing travel. So the shone was their primary means of talking to family and friends in distant cities. Most of these phone calls were dialed direct, station-to-station. About 91 percent of the nation’s 102 million telephones are tied into the world's largest computer-namely the Direct Distance Dialing network. The DDD network is programmed to get calls to their destination by selected routes as quickly as possible.., Since Christmas Day is the busiest day for long distance calling dtiring the entire year, all long distance facilities were taxed to the utmost. To help completion of phone calls on this holiday and to avoid as many phone traffic jams as possible, telephone personnel observed calling patters to various areas and tried to make by-pass arrangements to get customer’s calls through, such as re-routing calls from one section of the country to another The (' & P Manager said that to accomplish the best flow of long distance calls, the DDL) network uses a master switching plan, automatic switching equipment and alternate routing to provide flexible arrangements ol telephone circuits.

Security* Many young disabled veterans may be missing out on social security disability ^ benefits, according to Mrs. Hazel F. Daly, District Manager of the social security office in Winchester, Va. 1 A lot more younger veterans are eligible for disability benefits now I because of a change in the Social j Security Law. that was effective; last February, Mrs. Daly stated, i Until. February 1968, many young workers and veterans with! impairments could not receive disability benefits because they had not worked long enough on social security covered jobs. Military service time counts as social security covered employment, the same as almost all other employment. Before February 1968, young disabled men and women needed the same social security credits as older disabled people. Almost everyone needed social security credits for at least five out of ten years immediately before he became disabled. “Unfortunately,” Mrs. Daly said, “many young workers and veterans never had a chance to work long enough, including their time in service, to meet this five-year work requirement. But now, younger people disabled between their 24 th and 31st birthday need credits for only half of the time between age 21 and the time they became disabled.” Here is an example Mrs. Daly gave: A person who became disabled on his 25th birthday, now needs only two years of social security work* credits instead of the five years that were needed before this year. For anyone disabled before age 24, the social security work credit requirement is even less. It may be just one and one-hal^years of work credits out of the three-year period ending when the disability began. Mrs. Daly advised all disabled veterans and other younger R.B.G.
