Rappahannock News, January 16, 1969

Stuart Kuser of Front Royal, employed with the Construction and Maintenance Department of Potomac Edison Co., is> among the workmen who are building a 34,000 to 12,000 volt sub-station just off the Fodderstack Road near Flint Hill. Potomac Edison is constructing the station to boost electric current to Rappahannock. Library Lines To make possible the return of books on loan before they become overdue end subject to penalty, a large mail box has been installed at the library entrance for the deposit of books. Delay in returning books on time has presented a problem to the library as well as to opr readers. Although the book /circulation during the year 1968 lijas shown a continued increase, we feel that the number of readers in Rappahannock County availing themselves of the free services of this library still falls short of expectations. We believe that our library has developed into an institution deserving of broader interest and support than showi so far. Reflecting a nationwide trend, our records show that our readers are more and more looking for sbooks by contemporary writers and for informative reading material. More active participation of ou community would, without doubt, stimulate the acquisition of more and better books on various subjects. V^e are taking this opportunity to again ask for volunteers who are seriously interested in library work and who are willing to give time to the library regularly. Practically all of the current “Best-Sellers”, as listed in the major book reviews, are now available to our readers. Among these are: Arthur Krock: “Memoirs”, portraying sixty years of the author’s contacts as a newspaper correspondent with our presidents, from Theodore Roosevelt to Johnson. Chet Huntley: “.The Generous Years”, remembrances of a frontier boyhood. Cameron Hawley: ‘‘The Hurricane Years”. Helen Mclnnes: “The Salzburg Connection”. A. I. Solzhenitsyn: “The First Qircle”. Drew Pearson: “The Senator”. Taylor Caldwell: “Testimony! of Two Men”. In addition: Leon Uris: “Topaz”. Alberto Moravia: Short Stories. “What to Do When There’s Nothing to Do”, a mother’s! handbook of 600 tested playi ideas for young children, by the I staff members of the Boston! Children’s Medical Center. I And other children’s books. I Appreciates Donations The Rappahannock Rescue Squad wishes to thank each one who donated at the House to House Annual Fund Drive. Herbert (Humpy) Smoot won the RCA Portable TV <given away at the Shooting Match Friday night, December 20. Elem. PTA Meets 21st The Rappahannock County Elementary School PTA will meet Tuesday, January 21 at 7:30 p.m. in the school auditorium. Members of the Rappahannock School Board will participate in the meeting. If you have not had an opportunity to meet the School Board representative from your district, it is hoped that you will avail yourself of this opportunity. County Vets To Get More $ $ Increased benefits are on the way for Rappahannock County veterans and their dependents. Their monthly compensation and pension checks will be bigger than ever, thanks to two laws passed by Congress during the past year. In addition, for those who are veterans of World Wars I and II and hold G. I. insurance policies, there will be an increase in dividend payments. One of the laws provides for a new schedule of compensation payments to veterans who were disabled while in active service. It increases, by $235 million, the annual amount to be paid to the 1,952,000 veterans now getting such aid. They had been receiving $2 billion a year, which averaged out to $1,025 per person. The new average will be $1,145. Just how much any particular veteran will receive will depend upon the extent of his disability. Those with 100 percent disability will now get $4,800 a year, as compared with $3,600 previously. For those with 20 percent disability, on the other hand, the compensation will be $516. Approximately 30 of Rappahannock County’s veterans will be getting bigger compensation checks as a result. Payments to them will total $34,000 this year, it is estimated. The increased rates will show up in the checks for January, which will be arriving in February. The Veterans Administration states that recipients will get the increases automatically, without application. The second action taken by Congress will boost payments to other Rappahannock County veterans who are getting pensions for total disability that was not incurred while in active service. The average increase, for the 1,100,000 throughout the country who are getting such pensions, will be $110 a year. Their increase will be based upon a new formula that relates the amount they will get to other income they are receiving. The VA announces, also, that local veterans who served in the two World Wars and have G. L insurance policies will share in $236 million in dividends that will be distributed during the course of the year. It is $13 million more than was paid out last year. Mr. Watts Remains 111 M. G.

Letter to Editor Editor, Rappahannock News As you stated in your paper o January 9. "Rumblings am grumblings and rumors abou’ unfair tax assessments are heart in all sections of the county.” Tc a certain extent you are correct but you forgot to mention the names and assessments of all the homeowners in Rappahannock, i just happened to notice my name listed in the last issue of the News along with my Tax Assessment In the first place, I had nc knowledge of my assessment anc certainly did not expect to fine out in this manner. 1 was nol consulted before this wa published and I doubt very seriously if any of the othei people listed were so contacted. I personally call this an invasior upon ones privacy and a very unneighborly thing to do. It seems that the freedom ol the press is being pinpointed here Article IV of the “Bill of Rights” once stated that the individua was |^ee from violations of the security in areas of house effects....and papers. If this is so then how is it possible for the members of your newspaper stafl to sidetract these rights anc publicize the personal wealth ol one, such as, in a tax assessment This is an invasion of privacy which is unlawful, unless tht person in question is asked if ht or she wills it: thp right of t newspaper to publish private records. If one has a dispute with the Assessment Office, take it up with them and if you are then nol satisfied, contact highei iuthority. Since the paper is so interestec in exploring the upsets of people hen maybe they shoulc nvestigate this matter. I, anc other people, feel that it wouic be very unwise for the press noi to do so. William T. (Billy) Waylanc From The Book... “The next day John seeth Jesu; coming unto him, and saith Behold the Lamb of God, whicl taketh away the sin of the world.” (John 1:29) Bible students are familiar witl the system of animal sacrifice! prescribed in the Old Testament One of the sacrifices used mosi often was the lamb. In fact, the first sacrifice of the Israelite; under the leadership of Moses wa the Passover Lamb in Egypt.

His l favorite group is “The Union Gap”. His favorite expression is, “Don’t blow your cool.” Steve’s future plans are to go to college.

God said, “When I see the blood, I will pass over you.” (Ex. 12:13) When John recognized Jesus as the Christ, the Son of God, who would accomplish redemption for man, he immediately made this significant identification.

The program topic will be “Understanding Advertising and Packaging”. Fashion News for Spring It may be January but you wouldn’t know it to look at the magazine advertisements and some store windows. According to these sources, spring has arrived or will be in the very neai future. Well, as time advances, changes occur, especially in the fashion world. So Spring in 1969 will be a natural phenomenon ... a simultaneous evaluation of fabric color and fashion ... all with a single collective message to communicate ... softness and feminity! The fashion world salutes Spring with the “Love in America” colors - bold red, wavy navy and bubbling white. This trio takes the fashion lead. You will see them as smashing solids patent plaids, colorful checks super stripes and fancy florals Use them with camel accessories for a fresh, new look. Later in the season sample the “Ice - Pop Pales” - pale peach, pink, lilac, cool mint green, whisper yellow pale blue and aqua. The pale peach or mellon and blue will be the biggest. Coordinate these soft pastels by using the same col< but different values, a pale peac blouse with a darker peach skir The most important neutral is soft, sTKery gray, perfect foil i accessories for the Ice-Pop-Pale The other great neutrals ai influenced by the America Indian leather colors - luggagi beige, palomino, caramel an Indian brown. In sharp contra; ‘[with the soft pales and neutra are the Inky Darks late bloomei r with sharp impact - port, hunt* ' green, deep navy, purple an i black. You will see these coloi • mostly in sheers and linens, ofte combined with white. Closin comment - white will create ii own fashion waves, standin alone at any time of the yea This spring the white outfit wi flutter an accent scarf from an of the fashion - color grouping: The see-through look of thir transparent or translucent sheei is the number one fabric story fc spring. Choose from eyelet; dimity, dotted swIss, voile; blocked sheers, organdy, clips o sheers, embroideries, linens an puckered cottons. Next look fc the Barn Yard Look - denims. I all colors and patterns, gingharr checks and ticking stripes ar headliners. In the medium weigh cottons and blends you’ll fin provincial hearts and flower Pennsylvania Dutch prints handkerchief and bandann motifs. Tiny, coin, and polka dot compete for attention. The Knit/'Wits are major leagU' with Polyesters in the lead Interest continues in the bonde< Jersey. Newest developments ar open, novelty knits with lots o surface interest. The new and ol< trend to Glen plaids, Donega tweeds and neutral taffetas ar istraight from Grandma's attic Also, on the nostalgic side are th wallpaper knits - little flowers i conjunction with stripes an small in scale faille, satin-bac and double woven crepes ar reminiscent of the thirties. Th leather look-alikes are newl found in Ice-Pop-Pale colors. Mi: and match them with nubb; linens and ropy, crocheted knits Look for leather fringes b complete the American India: Look. The many fades of sprin continues to show the importanc of separates. In the America: tradition, they are especiall; noticeable in combinations o red, white and blue for skirts [jackets and vests. These separate jalso bring a strong internationa | feeling in to the picture with th Tyrolean trims used 01 | suspenders, pockets, aroun* (hems, up and down sleeves. Coa dressing will also continue to b an important part of th wardrobe of a woman of any age Capes will march out strong !especially nice with spring suits The short bolero, vest or jacket, i the shape to look for this spring It looks the smartest when won over the big, full-puffed gyps; violinist sleeve. Also, note th return of the bolero suit jacke and the trend toward shorter suil jackets influenced by the bolerc fashion. ^ Pants are appearing everywhere In different forms they are becoming accepted for “passive’ as well as “active” wear. The active pants ... for active sportj are bell-bottomed sport Jeans in denim, scrubbed denim and othei rugged fabrics to take an important place in the teenagers life. There’s also a return of the short-shorts great with wrap-around skirt. The pant dress continues to be a favorite. A new angle on a pantdress is a version with an attached overskirt - all the comfoft of pants and truly looking like a skirt. The best looking pants are definitely “to^al look”. Pants and tops must coordinate, whethar in a tailored pant suit or with an obvious go together skirt accented with scarves, chain belts or beads. Vests and blouses or sleeveless jackets also help to get that coordinated look with pants across. Spring’s Fashion Scene Stealer is “oh, so romantic” from the brim of her pretty hat to the tip of her be-slippered toes. The romantics are soft, fluid, relaxed - subtly sheer or slightly bare. The silhouette is body conscious. The fabrics drape you. Color frames the spectrum from the pretty pales to the beautiful darks. Accessories echo the romantic theme. Antiqued jewelry, ribbons, sashes mark the waist, shoes, handbags, hats are bedecked with flowers, buttons and bows. i New & Renewing \ Subscribers Recent new and renewing e subscribers to the Rappahannock i News which are acknowledged 1 with appreciation are Mr. and t Mrs. Dudley Wood, Mr. and Mrs. ; Charles Wood, Mr. and Mrs. Edgar ?

Household Drugs May Cause Defects, March of Dimes Physician Warns LSI) thalidomide conic to rrrind immediately when we think of drills which may cause birth defects. But more and more scientists are equally suspicious of the commonplace medications found in the family medicine chest. Even simple remedies such as aspirin are under investigation So are vitamins in excesswve doses, nose drops and many other over-the-counter medicines Some expert? fear that overemphasis on the dramatically dangerous drugs overshadows a far more important fact until Scientists understand more cWarly how chemicals affect the child m the womb, all drugs are suspect A "terminology gap" in the popular definition of drugs has clouded this important point, according to Dr Virginia Apgar, vice president for medical affairs of The National Foundation-March of Dimes "The word drugs' has come to mean only the addicting narcotics and barbiturates, or the nund-expanding marijuana, LSD and 'speed ' Bur the truth is that drugs include the whole range of chemicals human beings may take in the form of pills, powders, capsules, injections, mhalents or by absorption through the skm." Dr Apgar says One reason for increased suspicion of all drugs is the relatively recent medical awareness tljat the womb is not a perfectly safe haven Physicians once thought it to be completely protected by the placenta, preventing harmful agents from being passed by the mother to the unborn child Today, doctors who used to speak confidently of the "placental barrier" as an impervious, natural protective agent, know that the theory and the barrier are full of holes In its prenatal care literature, The National Foundation-March of Dimes, which entered the field of birth defects after the conquest of polio, warns all women of childbearing age against selfmedicaLon, home remedies, and "borrowing” p4Ja from friends and relatives. Even prescription drugs normally taken without ill ef MALFORMED ARMS AND LEGS of a patient at a March of Dimes Birth Defects Center resemble those of thalidomide victims. Scientists suspect that other drugs found in the average medicine ccsbinet may cause other birth defects fwt should bo re-evaluated bvS a physician when pri'Kiiama is a possibility No woman, of course, slioul 1 rofuso to take medicine which hoi doctor considers ossontial to hoi ovorill health Indood, failuro to tako needed medication mav be as dangerous to a developing fetus as random self-medication 1 If an expectant mother is under the cn.ro of more than one specialist, each doctor should know what has been 1 prescribed by the other since [ some chemicals of relatively low risk by themselves may be hazardous m combination with ! other drugs Taking exactly ! the prescribed amount is also ] important — twice what the l doctor orders does not do j twice as much good Many people are surprised j that such things as vitamins are considered drugs But vitamins are chemicals Too much vitamin K. for example, sometimes causes jaundice which can damage an unborn child's central nervous system. Too much vitamin I) during pregnancy can cause excess calcium m the baby, a condition which may be related to defects of the heart and bones as well as to mental retardation. Using nose drops is not generally recognized as "taking drugs " Yet nose drops which are powerful enough to contract the blood vessels of the nose may also be strong enough to contract the blood vessels of the placenta and placental bed, reducing the oxygen and nutrition the fetus deceives. Many drugs-, whether they have been available for a long time or are new developments, have great merit as aids to human health and comfort. Dr Apgar admits. "But before we take or freely prescribe any chemical, new or old, it behooves all of us—doctors, laymen and. especially potential parents—to consider first what the ultimate cost might be to future generations " Rapp-Chats ' By W.

Shanholtz [ Commissioner, Virginia State ! Health Department today. [ The Richmond Maternity anc ’ Infant Care Project Number 55J has provided family planninj assistance for 56 percent of th< women in the city’s low-income areas, which compares to ar average of only 17 percent for the 100 other areas surveyed in th< United States. The project ha been in operation since March 6 1967 and is the only one ir Virginia. It is one of 60 sue! projects administered by Federal State and Local funds. The Federal grants are given tc certain core urban communitiei which have a high concentratior of low socio-economic populatior 1 and incidence of maternal anc 1 infant sickness and mortality. The project’s four-year goal ii to lower Richmond’s infam mortality rate by 10 percent eacl ' year. To do this the projec operates three neighborhooc centers and four satellite center located in various low-incom< areas df the city. Two mobile Maternity and Infant Care unit have been purchased anc outfitted and will be in operatioi soon. In general, the Richmonc Maternity and Infant Care Projeci offers instruction in: Healtt Education, Counselling of Unwec Teen-Age Mothers, Nutrition anc Family Planning. Since beginninf operation the project has hac 12,§90 total visits to its Familj Planning clinics. The objective! and operations of the project an covered in greater detail in the November issue of the Virginii Health Bulletin. In addition, the project offer maternal and infant services tc the people of Richmond Citj never available before. These services include: denta care to all project matemitj cases; the payment foi hospitalization and foi physicians’ in-patient services necessary laboratory or diagnostic tests or x-rays', speciality clinic referrals and specialists consultations.

Sub-freezing temperatures for the past several weeks have resulted in scenes as above. The north fork of the Thornton River is frozen solid in many places with the water rippling along beneath the icy crust. Ponds have offered much recreation to skaters and a large group gathers at the Carson Johnson poncf in Sperryville often. Much of the cold weather has been made more disagreeable by the persistent high winds accompanying it. * * ■ ■ Hf'liy-*****— Ag. Dept. Announces ’69 Feed Program A voluntary 1969 feed grain program virtually identical to that for 1968 has been announced by Secretary of Agriculture Orville L. Freeman. Signup will be conducted simultaneously for feed grains, and wheat from February 3 through March 21. Target for acreage diversion in 1969 is 37 million acres of corn, grain sorghum and barley. This compares to the 1968 diversion of 32.4 million acres when barley was not included in the program. The 37-milliorr acre diversion target for next year is designed to produce a 1969 crop aboutjl to 5 million tons below estimated requirements. Utilization is increasing because of greater domestic livestock production, and corn exports are expected to show modest gains. Price-support loan and payment levels for corn and sorghum will be the same as in 1968. Producers may participate in the 1969 feed grain program by reducing their total base acreage by at least 20 percent. Additional acreage reduction is being encouraged by acreage diversion payments based on 45 percent of IwSwSV'/SwSWSvvSi the total county price-support loan and payment (U.'S. Average of $1.35 for corn), times the farm’s projected yield. “Exceptionally good crop weather and improved cropping practices at home and abroad during the last two years has led to world-wide increases in grain production.” “Despite the fact that corn yields in 1967 and in 1968 were about 13 percent greater than the preceding 1962-66 average, the acreage diversion programs for those two years kept carryover stocks near needed reserve levels. Based on the December 19, 1968, crop report, production for 1968 will be about 168 million tons. Utilization for the 1968-69 marketing year currently is estimated at 169 million tons by October 1969, resulting in a slight reduction in stocks--to around 47 million tons. Through active participation in the 1969 program, farmers can realize further reduction of 3 to 5 million tons by the end of the 1969-70 marketing year. I firmly believe the price-support loan program if fully utilized by producers, will substantially firm up market prices. If growers continue to use the price-support loan program for orderly marketing throughout the year as they now are doing, we can look forward to much progress. Price-support loan levels under the 1969 program will be the same as in 1968 for corn, $1.05 per bushel; sorghum, $1.61 per hundredweight; oats, 63 cents per bushel; and rye, $1.02 per bushel. Barley will be 83 cents per bushel instead of 90 cents as in 1968 because it now is eligible for price-support payment. These price-support payments will be unchanged at 30 cents per bushel for corn and 53 cents, per hundredweight for sorghum. Barley payment will be 20 cents per bushel. All price-support payments will be based on planted acreage up to one-half the farm base times projected yield. Key provisions of the 1969 feed grain program are: 1. Required acreage diversion to conserving use to qualify for piffce support loans and payments is continued at 20 percent of a farmer’s base acreage of corn, sorghum, and barley. No diversion payments will be made for this minimum diversion, except for small base farms--thi same as in 1966-68. 2. Additional acreage diversion will be possible up to a total of 50 perceet of the base or 25 acres, whichever is larger, the same as jn 1968 The acreage diversion" payment rate, will be at 45 percent of the total price support times the projected yield. 3. As in 1966-68 a farm with a base of 25 acres or less will get NOTICE DOG TAGS DUE 1969 Dog Tags Are Due On or Before JANUARY 31, 1969 Certificates of Vaccinations Are Required For Purchase of Tags * Prosecutions Will Begin February 1, 1969 Jack W.

Producers with feed grair base acreages up to 125 acres wil have the option of temporarily reducing this base down to 2f acres and still be eligible for th< small farm provision on conditior that no corn, grain sorgbum o barley will be planted for harves on the farm and the 25 acres an diverted to conserving use. Disposition by Addressee 1 of Unordered Merchandise i t Postmaster General W. Marvin Watson suggested three ways a family can handle the rising ^ volume of unordered merchandise c Americans receive through the j mails. j “If you don’t want an -] unordered item - such as ties, c greeting cards, pen and pencil sets c or auto key rings - put the merchandise aside for a c reasonable period of time, and if J unclaimed, dispose of it.” “Another way,” Postmaster j General Watson said, “is to refuse j to accept a package you believe ^ contains goods you didn’t ask for. c Just write: ‘Refused-Return to Sender’ on the package and put it j back into the mails, unopened.” p “If a person uses an item, he is t legally obligated to pay in mos \ states. However, New York and Dlinois have enacted legislation c which makes such items an j ‘unconditional gift’.” j “We have found that unordered ^ shipments trouble many postal ^ patrons,” the Postmaster General i said. “Many families mistakenly f believe they have two choices: Either send back a payment, or j retie the package and pay postage j for its return.” In some instances, promoters j attempt to collect by sending | notices which suggest a family j must pay for the unordered item, j “Don’t be troubled by these ] letters,’’ Mr. Watson said, j “because one might charge the ( mailer storage and handling ^ costs.” j Winter Driving Tips J Given by Official 1 In a warning against driving 1 under bad weather conditions, 1 John T. Hanna, Director of the Virginia Highway Safety Division,r said today that perhaps the most s important precaution is tc avoid 1 braking situation. “Stopping or slowing suddenly . can throw an automobile into a : deadly skid. It is always better to get a red light rather than try to hurry through While it is still green or to give up ypur right of way if keeping it means hsking an emergency stop or slowing,” he said. Mr. Hanna said that driving ,should be avoided unless [absolutely necessary in sleet or |snow or when streets are icy. If I driving is necessary, all snow and lice should.be removed from the I windshield and all windows. The I oar should then be warmed up [until the car interior is warm 'enough to prevent fogging. In the event of a skid, panic i braking should be avoided. His (advice was to turn the front 'wheels in the direction the rear [end is sliding and brake gently | with a pumping motion. Continuing, Mr. Hanna said that obscured vision and reduced [traction are the main hazards of adverse weather. He advised that ispeed be sharply cut and that following distances be increased If cars are not equipped with snow tires, chains should be used jto provide better traction.

Some will tell you that you have the right to your opinions as long as you keep them to yourself. For a long period I let the radio suffice as far as my religious life was concerned. A sacred song, a negro spiritual, once in awhile a j sermon. But there was a need to mingle with people, to worship with them that these things could not satisfy. Perhaps I was more gregarious than I was aware — more lonely. What ever the reason I find that 1 am happier, now, in my affiliation with people who worship God in His house, the CHURCH. If this could happen to a self sufficient person, such as I, it could also be a possibility with the youth of the present day. They have a hunger that is not satisfied in social activities. While I think that it is fine that the churches are promoting the social life of its youth, I think these activities should be a supplement to and not in lieu of the church. There is nothing that can satisfy the soul’s yearnings like a close relationship with its God. Come to church young and not so young, that might be the answer. OBITUARIES John H.

Piedmont Vocational School Plans Facility Expansion Piedmont Vocational School is currently planning an expansion program intended to satisfy a rapidly increasing demand for high school level vocational training and adult education. Located on Route 15 between Orange and Culpeper, the former Carver schoolhouse was opened in August 1968 to students from Orange, Culpeper, Madison and Rappahannock counties. Initiation of classes climixed two years of planning and program development. Headed up by director Tom Broyles from Madison, the institution offers daytime courses in cosmetology, 1 data processing, carpentry, 1 drafting, electronics, masonry, motor mechanics, machine shop practice, and practical nursing. In 1 addition to curricula available during the day, adults may attend evening classes in basic and general education, bookkeeping, shorthand, and electricity. The school is tied in with county high schools, and receives a percentage of its financial support from those counties that utilize the facility. Students taking vocational electives are bussed in. There is no charge for students from the four counties. Fee for an adult student is ( THE VILLAGE SHOP \ Main Street Flint Hill DON’T FORGET! , We Re-Opened Jan. 6 i —Come See— < Tues. thru Sat. 10 a.m.- 6 p.m I \ generally $15 for 40 hour instruction.

When his figures finalized he will submit in et form, for the fiscal year mg August 1, to county al boards. It will be up to the school boards to adopt, and to county Boards of Supervisors to approve the budget. If the $58,000 is approved, another $85,000 may be obtained from the state for a total expansion co§t of $143,000. individual cojjrnty participation in. the $58,000 cost would be directly related to student representation. Mr. Broyles has had frequent occasion to review his plans for Piedmont Vocation School with state educational authorites. He has been told that if his plans can be translated into reality, he will be directing one of the leading vocational^ training centers in Virginia. The training school has nine full time instructors, five being from Orange county, three from Culpeper, and one from Rappahannock. George Hubbard, masonry; William Hodges,’ carpentry and drafting; Mrs’ Nellie Butler, cosmetology; Gerald Johnson, motor mechanics; and Louis Shepko, electronics, are Orange County representatives on the faculty. The Rappahannock County instructor is Mrs. Louise O’Bannon who teaches practical pursing. Ralph Johnson from Somerset is assistant director of the school. An 8:00 p.m. meeting has been scheduled for January 16, at Orange County High School, to discuss vocational training facilities with Orange County employers. Mr. Broyles will be prepared to discuss expansion plans fox the Piedmont Vocational School, and to tie [these plans in with trained personnel requirements to be ispecified by the businessmen. Fishing License Sales Up Last Year The Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries has certified to the 1/. S. Fish and Wildlife Service that Virginia lus 37;..548 paid hunting license holders and 4 15,297 paid fishing license holders during the 1967 68 fiscal year, reports Fiscal Division Chief Sam J. Putt. TTiis represented an increase of 8*7 in the number of fishing license holders but less than a 2% increase in hunting license holders. The number of license holders is derived by means of a formula which takes into account the fact that a person may purchase more than one license. This count, along with the geographic area of the state, determines Virginia’s share of federal aid funds which last year totaled $615,644. Actual sales of resident hunting licenses totaled 255,930 while resident fishing license sales totaled 248,282 a 13'r increase Trout license sales were up 15r7 totaling 94,606 while 135,901 National Forest stamps were sold, an increase of 6%. Resident big game license holders totaled 203,383, about the same as last year. In spite of the moderate increases in sales, revenue remained, almost identical with that of the previous year, to'aling slight!^ over 3 million dollars. The revenue from the sale of licenses finances the bulk of the Game Commission’s activities and services including law enforcement fish and game management and research, the acquisition and development of public hunting and fishing areas, and the preparation and distribution of informative publications. The Commission’s only other sources of funds are receipts from bo!at registrations, Federal Aid funds allocated under Pittman - Robertson, Din^tll-johnson, and Land and Water Conservat on Act programs, and the receipts from timber sales f, rom Commission-owned lends after counties have been given 257, in lieu of taxes. Finances Problem Of 91st Congress CULPEPER, Jan, 14--Rep. John 0. Marsh, jr., said here tonight that “federal finances should be -- and probably w,ill be - the major concern of the new 91st Congress.” “It is obvious that whatever i required in the way of money to maintain our forces in Vietnam will be provided for the duration of this conflict,” Marsh commented, "but an equal problem is the management of revenues in a period which combines progressive inflation, a relatively high level of business prosperity and continued deficit financing by government.” The 7th District Congressman, sole Virginia member of the House Appropriations Committee, spoke at the annual banquet of the Culpeper Chamber of Commerce in the Fire Hall here. Marsh noted that he had introduced in the House bills to provide for a Joint Committee on TURKEY SHOOT Every Friday Night at 7:30 Washington Carnival Grounds Turkeys, Ham, Oysters, Quarter of Beef, Bacon and Other Small Prizes. Also a cash door prize will be given each night. Benefit Washinqton Fire Co. and Rappahannock Rescue Squffd Why worry about Power Failure ?

Experience has well taught that a general affirmative or negative answer cannot be given. Each case is different and whether benefits would be higher or lower, and whether risk of future increases of income or net worth would or would not warrant the change, can only be determined by working out each individual cast*. Help in solving these problems can be easily obtained free of charge from the Veterans Servicej Officers of the Virginia Division of War Veterans’ Claims and thusly assure the veteran or widow of a proper choice of benefits. I With the advent of another' amended pension law becoming effective next January 1st a law that promises more pension in most cases, it is again time fori every veteran and widow who is now drawing pension under the Old Law to take another look at their chance for more benefits.

VIRGINIA T Rh Vaccine Prevents Birth Defects, Infant Deaths, Says March of Dimes Turning pointy have a way of slipping by unnoticed. Their significance is often apparent only after years have passed. But in 19(>8. a major turning point m modern medicine was immediately recognized when a vaccine to prevent "Rh disease'' was approved by the Federal Government. For the first time in history, doctors have the means to prevent a majoi cause of birth defects The remarkably effective Rh vaecin^t railed ' RhoGAM." promises to eradicate a condition which each year threatens an estimated 40.000 babies with death or damage before or soon after birth - "The Rh vaccine is so important to potential parents and to the health of so many future children, no one can afford to nv-n look'i't.- s »liability," says Dr Virginia Apgar. vice president for medical affairs for The National Foundation-March of Dimes. The voluntary health organization, which initiated a national campaign against birth defects ten years ago after the conquest of polio was assured, has undertaken an aggressive education program to inform the public about the new preventive for Rh disease Through radio, TV. magazines, newspapers and leaflets distributed at marriage license bureaus and other outlets, voung people are urged to have a doctor or clinic check their blood tor Rh factor identification The Rh factor is a part of the blood which is found in about 85 per cent ot the population Those who have it are called Rh positive; those who don't are Rh negative Whether an individual has the Rh factor or nol makes no difference to his or her own Health But it can cause serious Rh disease in children if a mother is Rh negative and the father Rh positive In such a case, if the unborn child inherits the father's blood type, the mother's system may react against the child she is cai rymg This rarelv occurs m a first preg-t PREVENTIVE VACCINES for certain birth defects bring a turning* point in modern medicine. Vaccine against Rh disease is now available. A forthcoming German measles vaccine will protect future children from multiple defects like those affecting this little boy. nancy, but the danger rises in subsequent pregnancies with the result that a child may die in the womb or be born severely anemic and jaundiced due to "erythroblastosis fetalis," the medical t^rm for Rh disease An injection of the new vaccine. given to an Rh negative mother within 72 hours after the birth of each Rh positive baby, prevents an adverse reaction in the mother’s blood which can endanger future offspring Foi those women who have already been sensitized by previous births, the Rh vaccine is ineffective But new techniques of giving blood transfusions to unborn babies can save many Rh babies who might otherwise be stillborn. And exchange transfusions immediately after birth protect 95 per cent of the babies born alive with Rh disease Effective as these corrective measures are. The National Foundatn m-March of Dime's considers prevention of birth defects through universal use of the vaccine far more desirable. For the same reason, March of Dimes volunteers^ 'ate already preparing/ for another turning point An medicine, hopefully withi/i the next few months, when Federal approval is given to a vaccine to prevent German measles. This deceptively mild infection. also known as rubella, can cause serious birth defects of the heart, eyes, ears and other organs when an expectant mother contracts it during the early months of pregnancy.
