John 0. Marsh, Jr., said in Orange Saturday night that he saw ‘‘hope for some modernization of Congressional procedures in this new 91st Congress”. “I do not hold out a promise of dramatic changes, and, as a matter of fact, changes probably will not be dramatic in the center of representative government,” Marsh said. The 7th District Congressman, sole Virginia member of the House Appropriations Committee and sponsor of two bills for fiscal management reform, spoke at a Charter Night dinner meeting of the Orange Jaycees. “The winds of change are beginning to blow on Capitol Hill, “Marsh said; “there is an expanding awareness in Congress that the representatives of the people have not equipped themselves adequately with the techniques with which they are confronted when expert witnesses of the Executive Branch come to Congress to justify their budget estimates.” Marsh explained that the executive departments and (Continued on Page 5) Cadet Cannon Promoted Cadet James M.

New Aids May Cut Local Heart Toll A closer look at the heart disease situation in Rappahannock County is in order just now because next month will be Heart Disease Month. The latest government figures, detailing the 33 principal causes of death in each community, show that heart disease continues to rank first in the local area. Nationally, it represents the greatest threat to human life, more so than cancer, accidents, pneumonia and all other diseases combined. The report, released by the U. S. Public Health Service, reveals that fully 52.3*percent of all deaths in Rappahannock County are due to some form of head disease. This includes all ailment; of the cardiovascular system. Nationally, by way o: comparison, the disease account: for 54.8 percent of the total mortality. The average is 53.1 percent in the South Atlantic States and 53.8 percent in th< State of Virgin!#. What is baffling to medica researchers is the fact that hear disease is considerably greater ii some sections of the country thai in others. Also, that it is mon prevalent among men than amonj women. In a study of 50,000 men am women, conducted by th National Heart Institute, higl blood pressure, excess weigh^am cigarette smoking were listed a causative agents in th development of heart disease. Smoking 10 or more cigarette i day, it found, increased the ris py 62 percent High blooi | pressure raised it 58 percent am ! obesity, 33 percent. Among residents o i Rappahannock County, out of ‘total of 65 deaths from all cause; 34 were the result of hear ailments, according to the Publi .Health Service. This includes ai deaths of local people, whereve ! they may have occurred. 1 i excludes, however, local deaths o ! non-residents j And, for every one who die i from heart disease, there are som 22 others who are suffering fror it or who have a hear abnormality, the American Hear Association states. Progress is being madt however, in the war on th disease. During the past year th number of heart deaths droppe 3.3 percent below the 1967 tota Ami*sville Ruritan* Plan Year’s Activities With a program of thirteen community projects outlined for 1969, the newly elected president of Amissville Ruritan Club, Gilbert Lawrence divided his membership into a corresponding number of action groups at the regular dinner meeting last Wednesday evening. Vice president James Harper was handed the whip to encourage chairmen to make early and regular reports on progress achieved. The ARC. program this year, again calls for a spring festival dinner, a summer barbecue and two horse shows, one in late spring and one in the fall. In a separate action, the club voted to give $100.00 to the Amissville Volunteer Fire Department, the check to be presented at the department’s !banquet in February . April 18 Set As Beauty Pageant Date I'he Fourth Annual Rappahannock Beauty Pageant is scheduled for Friday April 18, 1969 and will be held at Rappahannock County Elementary School, according to J. B. Willis, president of the Rappahannock Jaycee Chapter which sponsors the pageant. Gary Deal and Donald Gore are in charge of the 69 pageants in which approximately $400 in prizes is offered.

Harry F. Byrd, Jr., ] (D-Va.) says he seriously doubts the possibility of a $3.4 billion surplus in the new budget as predicted by President Johnson, i He said budget surpluses had t been predicted six times in the ; last eleven years, but only , once--in 1960-did it. materialize . The senator, who was named ( to a seat on the Finance Committee this year, said the Administration was off by $20 billion in estimating the deficit two years ago, a 350 percent error. Speaking before the Culpeper Jaycees Tuesday, he noted that even with a balanced budget in fiscal 1970, interest payments on the national debt would increase by $800 million to a new high of $16 billion. He said that was four times the money budgeted for space research and eight times the funds slated to be spent on natural resources. “The only way we will ever reduce those payments is to begin cutting down on non-essential and non-vital spending,’’ he said, noting that nearly two-thirds of all individual income tax revenue comes from those with an annual income of less than $15,000. “If the Congress voted to tax 100 percent all the taxable income in this country over $50,0Q€ ($100,000 on joint returns), the additional revenue gained would be $700 million or about enough to run the government for two days,” he said. “If a 100 percent tax were levied on taxable incomes over $10,000 ($20,000 on joint returns), the additional revenue gained would be $13.2 billion - or not enough to pay the interest on the national debt this year.” Turning to other domestic problems, Sen. Byrd said he had written to Secretary of Defense j Melvin Laird to express his 1 concern over what appears to be a polr.y of inaction in the face of a growing shortage of national cemetery facilities for war veterans. He said existing government land could be used at little or no cost to expand the system. Sen. Byrd said: \ “Of the 98 existing national I cemeteries, 35 are now on the i inactive list and it is estimated (eight others would be closed by 1 June 30, 1970." Six of those eight would be in Virginia, including Brandy Station in Culpeper. That would |leave only City Point Cemetery at Hopewell and Arlington in Virginia with available grave sites. The senator drew special attention to the need for expanding Arlington Cemetery which, he said, had special significance for the nation’s l veterans. He suggested the Manassas | battlefield area as a possible site 1 for an Arlington annex “Manassas is historically linked with Arlington and would provide sufficient space to allow relaxation of the present burial restrictions which have closed Injuries Minor, Damage Is High In Traffic Crashes i Among traffic crashes reported ; n the past week was a | wo-vehicle collision Saturday on ; toute 522 in Flint Hill. Involved • vere Hencil Dodson of: Iperryville operating a 1969 Chevrolet and Judd Burke of -lint Hill in a 64 Plymouth. \ccording to Trooper J. B. Willis, Hr.

RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At Washington, Rappahannock County, Va. Telephone: WASHINGTON 675-3349 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 Dear Editor: I- want to say a few words about your paper, the Rappahannock News, which was sent me as a Christmas gift. 1 enjoy it every much as I heai from so many people I know Also am interested in the fire and rescue calls and the social security news. I think you all do a wonderful job to cover so much territory. I think it is the besl paper a small town ever put out Wish you all a prosperous New Year and a lot of new subscribers When anyone wants to give a present this is one you can enjoy all year. Sincerely Mrs. Celia B. Settlt Culpeper, Va Letter A ^py Mr. William Wayland Sperryville, Virginia Dear Billy, I am very sorry that you feel thal 1 have been unneighborly towarc you. I have never meant to commil an unneighborly act toward you 01 any other member of your family or anyone else, for that matter Your letter to the paper speak: for itself and is quite revealing. My purpose in listing the variovu tax assessments was so that th< public, by comparing these figures could see the unfair way assessments had been made -• a .well as be able to compare thei: own assessments with thos6%hicl I had listed. I stand for a fair an< equal tax assessment for all people regardless of who they are. It is my belief that ta: assessments have always beei landled this way ii Rappahannock and no Assess men Board is able to do much abou this. It seems that there must be ai impartial, fair Equalization Boan with definite criteria applicable t< all property before proper change can be made. It is also my belief that whei fair-minded, civic-minded peopli see these tax assessments side b; side, they will want all property owners taxed the same, proportionally. Incidentally, I know of no way of presenting this to the public except through the newspaper. I am not a staff member of the county newspaper, and I can’t remember that I have ever discussed an issue about which I have ever written with any member of the staff either before or after writing the article. I disagree with you in your interpretation of the Fourth Amendment. This amendment is not referring to public records, and these tax assessment cards are public records and no person can claim any public record as his private papers. But you have your right to express your opinion, the same as I. Had the ruling to mail the new tax assessments to ali land owners (this was voted on and approved by the Board of Supervisors) been carried out by those whose responsibility it was to do so, each of us would have received his own assessment, and there would have been no suspicion aroused, which caused people to go to the Office of the Board of Assessors in an attempt to find out “what was going on”. As it turned out, the Board of Assessors never received any word of the ruling - so I was told by a supervisor. Again may I say that I am terribly sorry that I have offended you; maybe you will just have to ; chalk it up to my family rearing. I come from the mountaineer stock, ; and that may account for my , personality, which apparently must be blunt - to say the least - ’ and totally lacking in finesse and ; suavity. My father, a fair and just • man, was bom and reared on top , of the Hazel Mountain, and I think I I perhaps inherited from him this “thing” of taking a stand and defending what I believe to tx : right. i Now don’t think for one second i that I am not proud of my t mountaineer heritage, for I am, t but I call a spade a spade because I t don’t know any other way to do it. I Sincerely, > Pauline Bruce > P.S. If two lone chimneys standing where a house burned i down some years ago can be t assessed in 1968 as a house, don’t ’ you think we need some definite r guide lines as to how many lone chimneys standing are required before a house assessment can be made? Should the requirements be one, two, three, or how many*! Should not just one lone chimney be classified as a half house if two can be classified as a house? 4-H Report The 4-H’ers of Mrs. Walker’s 7th Grade, room 33 at Rappahannock County Elementary School met January 16 at 2 p.m. We met the new Extension Agent, Home Economics, Miss Judy Burtner. We had no program planned, so we discussed the beauty of our county and ways of keeping Rappahannock County beautiful. We saw a film on “Time to Begin” which was made in Virginia. “Please keep our land beautiful’” Cassandra Frye, Reporter From The Book “Grace be unto you, and’ peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.” (I Cor. 1:3) The Apostle Paul used this greeting in each of the New Testament epistles bearing his name. Grace is that favor bestowed upon man out of the loving kindness of God. It is not given in payment of debt incurred by the good deeds of man, but it is freely given through Christ. Peace follows grace. Receiving Christ as Saviour and Lord opens the door of grace to a sinner. Then wonderful peace results. There is peace with God. There is peace within. There is a desire for peace everywhere and the promise of Scripture that some day the Prince of Peace will return to bring peace on earth. Record Fall Turkey Kill in West A total of 3,024 turkeys bagged in the 15 “west of the Blue Ridge” counties open to hunting last fall makes the 1968 harvest an all- time record for that section, reports Game Commission Game Division Chief R. H. Cross. An exceptionally good hatch was credited for th upsurge of 100% above last year’s kill. Leading counties include Bath were 476 turkeys were bagged, Augusta with 357 and Botetourt with 292. The big increase in the number of turkeys is not expected to boost the 1969 spring kill much since most of the big hatch will be too young to gobble. 4-ftiWu5ini Recognition Plaques Honor ComMom^uiditate Leaders A Virginia Polytechnic Institute professor, a member of the General Assembly of Virginia and two homemakers are the recipients of 1963 4-H Alumni Hecognition slate awards.

Today*s Woman Judy Burtner Extension Agent, Home Economics II II Probably one of the most colorful places that the average ho me maker visits is the supermarket or grocery store. This is due to the colorful packages on the shelves all screaming to the homemaker, “Buy Me”. The question can be asked, “Does this package serve any other purpose other than as advertisement?” Back in the days of the general store, all food was bought in bulk - out of barrels, bins and jugs with no guarantee of quality cleanliness and safety. Shopping took a great deal of time and there was very little choice ol foods. Today’s modem supermarket offers 6,000 to 8,000 items to choose from. Many are p re-mixed, all measured and packaged, made from-, quality ingredients, safe and ready to use with little or no waste. / People ask, “Why do we haVe so many packages? Is this really necessary?” Whether you ark a food processor, a wholesaler, a retailer, or a consumer, you would probably agree that the real purpose or reason foi packaging food is to protect, convey, and display the products of the farm from the market to your house. Food packaging means many things to many people - but most of all it means convenience. The American homemaker can now do all her food shopping for one week in less than an hour in a single store... an impossible thing to do if she had to wait to have her purchases weighed, priced and put in paper bags. Besides protecting the contents, a good package should be functional. It should be easy to carry, easy tc handle, easy to open and then, easy to close. A food package should fit easily on the cupboard shelf, in the refrigerator or in the freezer. The package should make the product easier, to use. These are factors that tnost consumers take for granted. A consumer seldom thinks of it, but part of the convenience of packaging is the ease of disposing. This could be an important feature of desirable packaging in the future One of the great e^i conveniences in food packaging is the information it provides. For example, frozen food packages give information abou i temperature and time required for preparation as well as cooking and serving suggestions. The consumer pays a great deal for packaging, in some cases, c n^pre than for the food inside the package. But yet, very few consumers are interested in going back to the general store days. . -NeechACrApproval On Conservat. Work • Farmers who plan to install a conservation practice under the Agricultural Conservation Program are reminded by H. S. Barksdale, Chairman of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation County Committee, that application should be made before the conservation work is begun if Federal cost-shares are to be paid. • This is very important, according to Chairman Barksdale. He said that application for approval of an ACP practice must be made beforehand so that the county committee can budget the limited funds available and set aside funds for practices approved for farmers. Under the ACP, the Federal government shares the cost of farm conservation practices needed in the public interest. The program is administered by the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service, and each local application comes before the farmer-elected County ASC Committee for approval or disapproval. Farmers interested in doing conservation work under the ACP may obtain more information from the County ASCS Office or any county or community ASC committeeman.

Selective Service Questions and Answers Q: Why do I have to request a student deferment in writing when my college has already furnished my local board evidence of my satisfactory academic progress? A: Selective Service law requires registrants to request student deferments. It is the duty of the registrant to furnish his local board evidence of eligibility for such deferment. Information supplied by his educational institution is a part of that evidence. With student deferments, it is also the registrant’s duty to provide the local board each year with proof TURKEY SHOOT Every Friday Night at 7:30 Washington Carnival.

Treatment at March of Dimes Cente^ Enables Girl to Throw Away Crutches Patty Bruce. 7. of Pontiac. Mich., crippled since birth by a severe spinal birth defect, learned by happy^ccident when she was little more than three years old that she could walk without braces or crutches. , It was a hut summer day and her mother had set aside Patty's crutches, removed the braces from her legs and stood the pretty little blonde in a neighbor's backyard f wading pool. "It was like a miracle," Mrs. Bruce recalls, "She began j to walk right through the : water." After that day, Patty, who was born with leg-paralyzing open spine and deformities of both feet, practiced and exercised until she needed neither braces nor crutches on dry land If there is a miracle in her story, however, it has nothing to do with the water Dr Donita B Sullivan, director of the March of Dimesfir.anced Birth Defects Center at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, explained, "With proper physical therapy and other treatment over a period of time, children like Patty often develop enough muscle power to w a 1 k without the support of braces " Today, for a girl who had 'such a slow start. Patty can do a swinging job with a hoola hoop But life ha> been a long, uphill struggle Patty's fight to live like children born free of handicaps began in Pontiac* when she came into the world prematurely, weighing only 31 pounds She was the first of fraternal twins. and her brother, Mike, was also horn with a birth defect Doctors detected a heart murmur in the lad. indicating possible congenital heart defects. and have been seeing him once a year since birth. I Patty's condition required I immediate attention When she : was three months old. she was 1 taken to the Birth Defects Center in Ann Arbor where neurosurgeons performed corrective surgery on her back After that, her deformed feet were treated, first cv ith casts, then with braces and now with exercise only The little gir. nas returned to the Mac h of PATTY BRUCE, 7, Pontiac, Mich , may sound sound to her twin brother, Mike, but she was born with an open spine and can't walk so well.

Hanna, Director of the ! Virginia Highway Safety Division, announced today that each of the 96 counties and 38 cities directed by the 1968 General Assembly to form local highway safety commissions had done so and that 124 had filed through his division to the Governor, as also directed by the General Assembly, a program of highway safety within the particular political sub-division. These reports, Mr. Hanna said, are subject to the Governor’s approval in determining eligibility for matching federal funds to be used in highway safety projects. The commissions, usually consisting of from five to 9 members, have representation from private citizens, medical doctors, attorneys, law enforcement officials, educators, engineers, ministers, judges and local officials. Forty-one ladies are serving, and one commission, that of Nottoway County, has two teenagers. Programs intended to inaugurate new activities or to upgrade existing ones covered driver education, including that for adults and for high school dropouts; upgrading highways through new design, construction and control; additional training for law enforcement personnel, improving emergency medical services; identification and surveillance of crash prone locations, and more effective use of public information media. Mr. Hanna concluded that the enthusiastic response of the commissions indicates strongly that their work can reduce crashes, provide invaluable sources of useful information and assistance to the State and assist in recommending legislative action. At the same time, Mr. Hanna announced on April 23 meeting in Richmond of the Highway Safety Advisory Committee formed by the 1968 General Assembly and consisting of all commission chairmen and such other representatives as the Governor may appoint.

In both North America and Europe, the cooling trend has made winters a bit harsher and summers slightly milder, climatologists report. The cooler weather contrasts with the warming trend observed during the first half of the 20th century; the National Geographic Society says. Yet, paradoxically, pollution may have contributed to both the warming and cooling trends. The contradiction arises from the different kinds of i materials that pollute the atmosphere. The warming trend may have been caused by carbon dioxide, produced by burning coal and oil. Carbon dioxide absorbs heat *o efficiently that a relatively small amount has a powerful effect. A study by Dr. Syukuro Manabe of the Environmental Science Services Administration indicates that carbon dioxide keeps the world nearly 20 degrees warmer than it would be if the gas were totally absent. A 10 percent increase in the atmosphere’s carbon dioxide might raise temperature in the lower atmosphere by about one-half degree Fahrenheit. This ! approximates the worldwide | increase since 1900. The effect of carbon dioxide may have been offset in recent years by another form of pollution - dust, smoke, and other particles that man is pouring into the air. If Ahis theory is correct, says ESSA climatologist J. Murray Mitchell, “the pollution particles so conspicuous over our cities and industrial complexes are spreading into a nebulous veil that is virtually encircling the world “Robert A. McCormick, of |ESSA’s Air Resources Laboratory assigned to the Public Health I Service in Cincinnati, and his colleagues have cited some alarming evidence that this has l actually? started to happen,” Mr. j Mitchell says. “Russian meteorologists have arrived at the same conclusion.” Dust is turning up in ’greater quantities in the atmosphere over such places as Davos, Switzerland, and Mauna Loa Observatory in | Hawaii. Measurements there are! thought to be fairlvl representative of conditions in! the atmosphere at large. Dust reflects some of the sun’s' heat back into space. The dust also may absorb a small portion j of the sun’s heat, preventing it from traveling farther.

V.P.I. Coach Heads Cancer Crusade / Jerry D. Claiborne Jerry D. Claiborne, head football coach at Virginia Polytechnic Institute, Blacksburg will serve as State Crusade Chairman for the American Cancer Society’s annual educational and, fund-raising Crusade in Virginia.' As Crusade Chairman, Coach Claiborne will lead 65,000 volunteers from throughout the state in their efforts to raise $1,040,000 during the April Cancer Crusade. In 1968, the Society’s Virginia Division went over the million dollar mark foi the first time with Crusade receipts totaling $1,018,470 and became one of the Society’s top 15 Divisions in the country. During his eight years at VPI, Coach Claiborne has guided the Virginia Tech Gobblers to 52 wins and 27 losses. This year, which was to be his biggest rebuilding year since 1962, his team not only had a winning season, but also made its second liberty Bowl appearance in the last three years. Among the outstanding athletes he has coached have been three All-American players - Bob Schweickert in 1964, Frank Loria last year, and Mike Widger this year. A graduate of the University of Kentucky, Coach Claiborne began his coaching career in 1950 at Augusta Military Academy, Staunton. He entered the college ranks under Paul (Bear) Bryant at Kentucky, went on to Texas A&M, Missouri, and Alabama before coming to Tech in 1961. Hie forty-year old coach is a national leader in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, a service organization which has assisted the Society with cancer education programs in Montgomery County public schools. His first appearance as State Crusade Chairman will be in Richmond, January 24, as luncheon speaker at the Crusade Leaders’ Conference for Crusade volunteers from throughout the state. Theme for the meeting will be “The Winners.” ive Carefully 'During] Week-end !i V o $ ez I . A friend, on learning that I had some Indian ancestry, asked what tribe my ancestors belonged. Not knowing the answer to that quiry I replied facetiously : “The Black Foot, my feet get dirtier than anyones.” The facts here stated is all I know. In the early 1850’s my grandfather and a Mr. Sessoms went west on a trapping expedition. I don’t know how successful they were in their trapping, but Mr. Sessoms won the daughter of a tribal chieftan. Her mother was a white yvoman captured in a raid. It seems that this was a common occurance among the Indians, it eventaully caused better relationship between the tribes. Grandmothei and grandchild relationship? 1 know" nothing about Little Deer’s mother but that she was a Christian woman and must have been small, my grandmother was so petite. n It is not known what happened to Mr. Sessoms, whether he died in the Civil War, my grandfathei was seriously wounded. After h< recovered he married Mrs Sessoms and adopted her twc sohs. Of this union four mors sons and one daughter blessed ths home, my father being the eldest I never knew my grandfather Neither of them for that matter My grandmother^ came from beyond the Big Water (Mississippi River) and while I’ve heard her mention the Omaha, the Osage and Piute tribe of Indians I never learned to which tribe she belonged. She was skilled in collecting wild herbs for home remedies. It seemed I was her favorite of my father’s brood, she let me help her most often. The thing I remember most about Little Deer, her christened name was Patricia, was her devotion to God. I’ve heard her whisper: “Oh, I love you so, praise your Holy Name.” Or, “Praise Him, praise Him, He is so good to me.” I wonder if there was any conflict in her soul between her adopted God and the Great Spirit of her ancestors. So in conclusion, I know very {little about my Noble Red Man ancestry. I do not consjder it a stigma, rather l am proud of my small heritage as an original owner of this great country. Some contend that the American Indian was one of the lost tribes of Israel. Archeologists refute that in maintaining that the Red Man has been here for 20,000 years.

Marvii Watson in a recent pres conference, outlined threr proposals that would solve posta problems -for the next five years (1) Endorsed the formation o a government postal corporatior to operate the Postal Servlet along lines suggested by th< Kappel Commission. (2) Proposed a billion dolla plan for modular mail factories to cut costs of construction speed mail processing and saw $9.6 billion over the next 11 years. (3) Said combining first-clas and air mail into one class of mai at a 7-cent rate would wipe ou the postal deficit and create i $201 million surplus. Mr. Watson said that thi: package plan can reduce rates anc make the Post Office Dept, paj its own way. The change in the raU Spies and librarians owe a deb to John Dancer of Manchester England. In 1839 he combine< the techniques of photograph; and microscopy to produce microphotograph of a document -*r*Bt* ir.-mmr 'structure, proposed in President Johnson’s Budget, would eliminate the 10-cent air mail rate. Hie first-class rate would be i raised to 7 cents. Mr. Watson said i the air mail stamp is no longer necessary because fust-class mail is being sent by air when necessary anyway. The rate would result in a net of $519 million, which would eliminate the postal deficit for the first time since World War EL Social Security Notes In our ever changing world of automation and space the worker becomes increasingly involved in the duties of his job and the complexities of life. As a result, i he might not be aware of the : important features of the ■ disability program under social ? security. i Mrs. Hazel F. Daly, District f Manager of the Winchester, Va. ■ Social Security Office stated r because of this unawareness, many disabled workers and their 1 families are not applying for ■ benefits for which they could be > entitled. To qualify for these ' benefits, she explained, a worker l must meet the following requirements: (1) Have at least 5 years of work during a 10-year period ending when the worker became disabled. It is not necessary that the 5 years of work be continuous or even in units of full years. Social security 1 credits are counted in units of ■ calendar quarters of the year, and ! the work requirements can be I met if a worker has at least 20 • quarters of work under the law I during the 40 quarters ending i when he became disabled. (2) i Have a mental or physical i condition which prevents him from doing any substantial . gainful work. The condition must be expected to last (or has lasted) ’ for at least 12 months or is • expected to result in death. Other ! factors considered in making a ' disability determination are the individual’s age, education, ’ training and work experience. If a person cannot do his regular work but can do other substantial 1 gainful work, he should not be considered disabled. If a worker 1 becomes temporarily disabled and 1 is expected to be disabled for 12 full months or more, he should apply for benefits for himself and his dependents. If anyone desires to discuss his case, the Winchester Social 1 Security Office is located at 20 S. > Cameron St. Hie Telephone l Number is 667-1511. Valuable ' information can also be obtained i by requesting pamphlet OASI-29 “If You Become Disabled” fro it the’wbove office.

Changes in SS Over the Years Back in the thirties, social security started with retirement insurance only, but it didn’t take the architects of the program long to see that the concept of retirement insurance was by no means sufficient. In 1939, amendments to the law added benefits for the dependents ol retired workers as \^gll as survivors benefits in case of the Worker’s death. In the fifties a new type of insurance wai added...designed for the workei who had to stop work because ol a disability. Now it is possible foi the disabled widow, disabled | widower, disabled divorced wife of a worker who was insured under Sofia) security at death to receive disability benefits as early as age 50. Mrs. Hazel F. Daly, District Manager of the Winchester Social Security Administration announced today that these new benefits are possible as a result of a change to the law. ^Under the present law, a widow who is unable to work because of severe disability may be able to get monthly benefits as early as age 50. Disabled widow’s benefits are also payable to a surviving divorced wife at age 50, but only (1) if her marriage to the wage earner lasted as long as 20 years, and (2) he yyps contributing to her support at "the time of his death (or was under court order to do so). A disabled widower who was receiving at least half of his support from his wife at the time she died is also eligible for benefits at age 50. In order to meet the disability requirement for these new benefits, the disabled -siirvivor must have a physical or mental impairment that (1) is severe enough to prevent the performance of any gainful work, (2) has lasted (or is expected to last) 12 months or more, and (3) started before or within 7 years after the death of the wage earner. An exception to this rule, Mrs. Daly stated, is a widow who received monthly benefits as a widow with ''children. She can qualify if her disability starts R.B.G.

ZUNKA Warren Paint & Supply Company 415 East Main St. FRONT ROYAL, VIRGINIA A NEW ANNUAL GROUND COVER Bright red Polka Dot(M in the center of single white flowers distinguish this myrtle or vinca from others. They are the reason for its name. Low growing, wide spreading plants make it a “natural” for extensive ground cover use. Ground cover plants with attractive flowers are not common. That s why the All-America Selections bronze medal winner Polka Dot, a procumbent vinca or myrtle, will prove to be so popular. It s easy to grow from seeds, performs equally well when planted :n full sun or light shade, is not fussy about soil, and plants form such solid mats that weeds cease to be a problem. Also, since it's an annual and not a perennial, it can be used in areas such as where you plan paving for another year but need a ground cover for just this one year. The little plants grow straight upward to a 3 inch height. Then they grow outward, creeping gradually until each plant forms a mat, 2 feet across. Thus a spacing closer than 2 feet will result in a complete covering of the area with glossy, dark green leaves. Seeming to lie flat on top of the foilage are the flowers — single, white with bright red "eyes''. Sometimes so many are open at once that the green foliage is hardly noticeable. The characteristics described make Polka Dot not only a desirable ground cover but useful in window boxes, hanging baskets, rock gardens and as a wide edging for a path, driveway or lawn area. before or within 7 years after such benefits ended. The amount of the benefit will be affected by the widow’s age at the time she starts receiving benefits. It can be as low as 50% of the benefit the deceased worker would have received (if the widow’s benefits start when she reaches age 50), or may be as high as 82V4% (if she waits until she is age 62). Mrs. Daly explained that the social security people will go into all the details of individual cases so that qualified persons may make an intelligent choice as to when the benefits should start. Since these new benefits can start with the seventh month of disability, widows, widowers, and divorced wives who are already disabled should inquire promptly. Immediate benefits may be available.

Phone 347-1400 222 Million Phones Now In World Use Rapid growth continues to characterize the world telephone network as some 14 million phones were added to the global, system in 1967. This brings the world’s phones to some 222 million as of January 1, 1968. These figures were released by the American Telephone and Telegraph Company after a year of gathering and compiling the required data for the World’s Telephone Report. In the past ten years, more than 100 million telephones have been added to the total. The ever-increasing number of telephones is indicative of the increased,usage of the telephone (for local, long distance and international calling). During 1967, growth in international calling resulted in 12.3 million phone calls between the United States mainland and points overseas-up 2.3 million calls over the previous year. The rapid increase in the number of the international calls has accompanied the equally rapid development of complex electronic equipment, including high-capacity cables and expanded satellite communications systems. Today, more than 400 satellite circuits and thousands of underseas circuits are being used to provide telephone service between the United States and points overseas. More than 96 percent of the operated principally by funds provided by the Lions Clubs of Eastern Virginia, serves as the repository for human eye tissue, donated on death by Virginia residents and used iq_ corneal transplant operations to restore sight to many blind individuals whose sightlessness is caused by defective, damaged, or diseased corneas. Literally scores of blind individuals have their sight restored each year through the work of the Eye Bank and its Lion sponsors.
