Rappahannock News, January 30, 1969

*** HZ**0** Volume XX. Number 13. WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, Thursday, January 30, 1969 JAN 3 11969 ml 10c Copy Announce Details of Feed Grain Program Operating details of the 1969 voluntary feed grain program are now available to all producers, according to H. S. Barksdale, Chairman, Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation County Committee. The 1969 program, announced December 26 by Secretary of Agriculture Orville L. Freeman, is virtually identical to that of the 1968 — the only major difference being that barley is included in the program this year. Producers of feed grains may participate in the 1969 program by reducing their total base acreage by at least 20 percent. This will make them eligible for the program benefits of price-support loans and payments. Additional acreage diversion for payment — up to 50 percent of the base — will also be encouraged. Signup will be conducted simultaneously for the feed grain, and wheat programs from February 3 to March 21. Key provisions of the 1969 feed grain program are: 1. ) Acreage diversion to conserving use to qualify for price-support loans and payments is continued at 20 percent of a farmer’s base acreage of com, sorghum and barley. No diversion payment will be made for this minimum diversion, except for small base farms — the same as in 1966-68. 2. Additional acreage diversion for payment will be possible up to a total of 50 percent of the base or 25 acres, whichever is larger, the same as in 1968. The acreage diversion payment rate will be at 45 percent of the total price support (loan level plus payment) multiplied by the projected yield. 3. ) As in 1966-68, a farm with a base of 25 acres or less will receive payments on the first 20 percent acreage diversion at a rate of 20 percent of the acreage diversion at a rate of 20 percent of the total support times yield, and at a regular 45 percent payment on the remaining acreage diverted to conserving use. Washington Auxiliary A meeting of the Washington Ladies Auxiliary is scheduled for Monday, February 3 at the fire hall beginning at 7:00 p.m. The January meeting was cancelled sc all members and interested people are invited to attend.

Freezing Rain Cancels Schools Wednesday Freezing rain Tuesday night left a slick coating of ice clinging to everything Wednesday and prevented the schools in the area from holding classes that day. Roads were hazardous all night Tuesday and prevented some of the Panther basketball fans from getting back home after attending the game at Broadway. A scnool bus with ball players and cheerleaders became hung up on the mountain at Panorama along with a jackknifed tractor-trailer and many other motorists. According to Trooper J. B. Willis who was on duty Tuesday night, there were no serious incidents from the slippery roads in his duty area. A single-car crash occurred in! the Town of Washington last; week. Leroy Porter of Washington rounded the right curve in fron of the jail, ran off the left of road and struck a' utility pole. I Bill^Hther Named Jailor in Rappk.

The Division of Forestry ■eports that 548 forest fires lurned 1303 acres of forest land n the 16-county Northern Jiedmont District during 1968. In Ftappahannock County, 6 fires lave burned 2.9 acres of forest and. During 1967 there was a ;otal of 274 fires, and these fires lumed 806 forested acres in the Slorthern Piedmont area. During 1968 the fire danger vas low in January, but severe ;onditions developed during February and lingered on through nuch of March and April. During ;hese months, forest wardens and /olunteer fire departments were ible to keep the average size of ;he fire relatively small, even ;hough fires were numerous. A ieficiency of rainfall was noted in ill four months amounting to more than half the normal imount. A high percentage of District firqs was due to brush and trash burning. Another major cause was smoking; and children playing with matches accounted for < large number of fires. Railroads are responsible for about 2C percent, as burning carbon, hoi metal from brakes, and burning fusees cause fires on the railroac rights-of-way which often burr into the forests. As we again approach that timr of year when forest fires occui more frequently we ask for youi help. Remember, a few dry days warm temperatures, a little wind and materials which normally burn rapidly can cause you anc the forest fire fighter serious trouble. Good judgment is necessary when burning at any time. Local Retail Sales Up 17% in 4 Years Just how much the Rappahannock County economy has grown since the beginning of 1964 is brought out vividly in figures released by the Standard Rate and Data Service. They show a 17.4 percent rise in retail activity locally in the subsequent four-year period. The gain was made despite consumer feelings over the war in Vietnam and despite domestic problems and higher taxes. The amount of business done by retail stores in the local area rose from $2,370,000 to $2,779,000 in the four years, the survey shows. Part of the rise was due, however, to inflation. The 17.4 percent rise was relatively high. It compares favorably with the gains made at the retail level generally in the State of Virginia, an average of 17.2 percent. The bulk of this consumer demand for apparel, food, cars, drugs, furniture and other merchandise was supplied through some 17 retail outlets in the local area. The number of people employed in these stores, 58, and the size of their payrolls have kept pace with the expansion in business. Their payrolls, in the four-year period, climbed from $104,000 a year to $164,000, according to the U. S. Department of Commerce. The gains chalked up by retail stores in Rappahannock County and elsewhere are attributed to several factors, all related to consumer optimism, confidence and a feeling of basic security. Fundamental to it all was the marked increase in real earnings--even after Federal taxes, price rises and the larger deduction ^for social security. Family income, locally, has been on an upward curve, despite periodic dips, during the foui years. The confidence was based upon steady jobs, the continuing boom in business and built-in protection, covering illness, disability and retirement, through social security and other pension funds. And, according to a forecast by ecbnomists connected with the National Industrial Conference Board, the American economy will continue its solid advance this year, but at a “more orderly pace” than in 1968. Miss Judy Burtner, left, discusses texture of materials during the initial meeting of the clothing workshop now in progress under her instruction. Among those attending the class were Mrs. Frances Foster, Miss Mary Jenkins, Mrs. Mary llpdike, Mrs. Anna Curtis, Mias Ruby Jenkins, Mrs. Judy Atkins and Miss Sue Many Rams, Broadway Trim Panthers Rappahannock Panthers suddenly are finding- wins hard to come by. Friday night the Panthers were trimmed by the Strasburg Rams 58-55 and were stoned Tuesday at Broadway 79-63. The one bright spot in the Panther’s week was the fact that senior forward Bobby Settle took over the scoring lead in District 10. Settle, going into Tuesday nightVaffair led Montevideo's Terry Taylor by one point, 226 to 225, and currently holds a 20.5 average. Settle, with 21 points, led the Rappahannock attack against Strasburg in a losing cause as the Rams came from a 31-23 half-time deficit to top the Panthers 58-55. Gary Gleaton sank two foul shots to tie the score at 53-53 and after the Panthers pulled ahead 55-53, the Rams reeled off five straight points to ice the victory. Edgar Ausberry tallied 18 for the Rams. Charlie Dodson got back into his old form, chipping in with 19 points. Roy Reeve had 11. Tuesday night the Panthers were beaten by Broadway for the second time this season 7963. Reeve was the big gun for Rappahannock, collecting 29 points and playing the best games of his career. Dodson added 14 while Settle was held to only eight. Friday night the Panthers entertain Stonewall Jackson. RAPPAHANNOCK C. Dodson Settle .... Reeve . ..

Deer Kill May Exceed Last Year’s A 10 percent increase in the deer kill in the piedmont and northern Virginia areas may put the 19t>H 09 Virginia deer kill above the 24,939 taken in the state last year, reports Game Commission Game Division Chief R. II. Cross. Such an increase would be in spite of a reduction in the doe harvest statewide and a I resulting slight drop in the western harvest. Reports are m from most piedmont and northern Virginia counties. In these areas, the doe J harvest was down because "doe days" were moved to the end Irather than the beginning of seasons The buck kill, on the other hand, jumped upward by a considerable margin to raise the loverall kill by 10'..

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 Editor Rappahannock News An article in a news magazine last week concerning EX-Treasury Secretary Joseph W. Barr’s recent report to Congress reads thus: “Barr feels drastic action is necessary. The entire tax system, he said, rests on the public’s confidence that it is fair and that everyone is paying according to his ability.” Looks as if the nationwide feeling of the middle class is the same as it is here in Rappahannock about our own local tax system. It just might be almost as much trouble in making changes in the Federal Tax system as it is right here at home, too. Henry J. Taylor in his column to the Richmond Times recently spoke of the “Papa knows best” spending on Capitol Hill. We here in Rappahannock know something about the “Papa knows best” form of government. You know - “Papa knows best” when a ruling of the Board of Supervisors should be carried out and when it should not be Appears as if it might have backfired slightly this time. Pauline Bruce Washington, Va Today*s Woman Judy Burtner Extension Agent, Home Economics To be a good shopper you need to plan what to buy, when to buy, and where to buy. This is lot easy. There are so many goods and services to choose from but by cariSul shopping you may get more for your money. Home is wfo^regood buying begins Make decisions before you star your shopping trip. Wise shopper buy needed things first, then adc the extras. Your family’s need: ! will not be the same as those of I your friends, neighbors, or! relatives. As you plan, keep ini mind what you have, what you need, how the item will be used, what size, color, quantity, quality ( you want, and the price you want 1 to pay. Make a shopping list. This takes ( time, but a good shopper makes a list. Jot down items as you think ( of them. Organize your list by the location of stores and the location of^ things within the store. This will save backtracking. ] prevent forgetting something and , help stop you from buying', something you don’t need. Decide on quality. When you decide the type and quality you want in an item, considei^how you will use the article, how long you will use it. how you will care for it and how it looks. Remember that you don’t always need the best quality. Irregulars or seconds are good for many uses. What about sales? Sales are held - for many reasons: To make room for new goods; to sell surplus or shop-worn goods; to get you into the store; and to introduce new products. The best sales are held by established stores. They want to keep your good will and your business. When you buy at sales - consider your time, energy and money costs' of getting to the sale. Shop at the start of the sale for the best selection. Be sure the sale price is an actual reduction from the regular price. Watch fori imperfect or damaged articles. Check styles, items likely do go( out of style and may be poor buys. Remember nothing is a bargain unless you need it. Dates to Remember Woodville H.D.

Fire Marshal Talks About Escape Plans In a talk last week to Rappahannock Lions Club, Selby Jacobs, fire marshall of Prince William County, pointed out most home fires start in the living room; in fact 37'; of them do. Tlie kitchen is the origin of 22T of home fires; the basement 14'7; the bedroom 13r; and all others 14';. He also said that most home fires start between midnight and 6 a m. the time when we are least prepared. Mr. Jacobs stressed the importance of having two escape plans for your home in the event of fire and the importance preparation and practice using these. He rfoted that thousand degree temperatures can travel far ahead of the acutal flames and that fumes and heat are the killers ! rather than the flames. A closed uuur can ueiay a me iui db niuui as thirty minutes. Text a closed door by feeling it before opening it to help determine the situation on the other side. An accumulation of gas and fumes can cause . an explosion when a door is suddenly opened. Mr. Selby advised that a floor plan of your house should be made, marking windows, doors, rooms, etc. In each room select best escape route (by way of rooftop, etc.) Test windows and screens to see if they can be easily removed. Practice using your escape plan and be sure all members of the family meet in a designated place after the house is evacuated' so all can be accounted for. | A nighttime fire is a desperate and frightening experience. There is little chance to think clearly without pre-planning. One wrong move can mean a family disaster, he said. Foolish John Doe John Doe and Jtxis wife they had a good life Were considered good citizens too; They wore white hats and did all the things Good citizens usually do. They rode everywhere on a horse and a mare Regardless of sunshine or rain; They stuck to familiar, well-worn paths Like Establishment Road or Compromise Lane. They rode to the Hounds; they danced to the Piper; They ate their cut of the Pie; They paid their Membership Dues and Taxes Without ever questioning why.

Brady, Superintendent of Highways in Rappahannock, the employees of that department are not guilty of putting highway trash in the refuse units provided by the county for its citizens. This was so stated in the minutes of the January meeting of the Board of Supervisors and printed in this paper from the minutes of the meeting. “Our friends like fruit from the tree of life Are falling, one by one.” “Our friends are crossing over, We miss them from our side.” Yes, some day “They’ll ring those golden bells For YOU and ME.” And “Home is the hunter, home from the hill, And the sailor is home from the sea.” We must all go the way ordained for us, but, we cannot all leave the same kind of footprints on the sands of time. He like to sit on his front porch and look at Old Rag in the distance. I’m sure that God has opened up greater vistas for him in a better land. So long, friend, for a little while. Starlings Costly Several Ways Flocks of starlings dining at feeding stations set up by poultry range operators and feedlot operators can be costly in several ways. It has been estimated that a thousand starlings can eat about 65 pounds of feed a day, said Glenn R. Dudderar, Extension wildlife specialist at Virginia Tech. More important, perhaps, is the fact that these birds are disease carriers. It has been proven that starlings carry hog cholera from one hog producing area to another. They are also suspected of carrying such diseases as shipping fever, red nose, blue comb and fowl cholera. Virginia livestock producers can receive help from three sources in controlling starlings, Dudderar said. These are the Cooperative Extension Service at Virginia Tech; the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Commerce; and the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife, Division of Wildlife Services, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, Va. Two control tools-sodium fluoride and a toxicant marketed as Starlicide--are used in Virginia. They are mixed with a bait and placed out for the starlings. Most important, though, is not the type of toxicant, but how it isj presented, said the specialist. Any bait must be presented where the birds will accept it and in a form identical to what they are already eating and at a time when they will accept it. Many people in Jerusalem believe the resurrection of the dead will occur in the Valley of Kidron, a hallowed burial ground for Christians, Jews, and Moslems j just outside the city’s walls, the t National Geographic says. 11 11 ■ « PUBLIC AUCTION SALE “DOWN ON THE FARM" Having finally come to our senses and gone out of farming at Hidden Valley Farm, Huntly, Va.^ we will offer for sale to the highest bidder our complete inventory of farm equipment and machinery, starting at 10 a.irt. on Saturday, February 8, 1969 Int.

Security Notes Close to 800,000 elderly people will be getting letters this month reminding them that they have only until April 1 to sign up for the voluntary doctor bill insurance under Medicare. Many in this area will be receiving such letters according to Mrs. Hazel F. Daly, District Manager of the Winchester, Va. Office reported. In the letter, Robert M. Ball, Commissioner of Social Security, points out that for many of those who missed out on previous opportunities to sign up, the period from now to the end of March will be the last chance to get the protection. This includes persons who were born in October 1, 1901 or earlier, and those who were enrolled in the program earlier, but dropped out 1 January 1, 1967, or before. With the doctor bill insurance , part of Medicare, elderly people can supplement their basic hospital insurance protection with protection that helps pay doctors’ and surgeons’ bills and a wide variety of other medical expenses. In 1967, Commissioner Ball points out, it helped pay some 26 million medical bills and in 1968, another 33 million bills, mainly for physicians, services. Almost 19 million of the elderly are signed up for the protection' but about another million do not yet have the protection afforded by medical insurance. There are perhaps another 200,000 or so for whom the Social Security Administration does not have current addresses, because they have not yet applied for hospital insurance under Medicare. Since the Social Security Administration has no way to get directly in touch with these older people, Ball appealed to sons and daughters and friends to call the open enrollment period to their attention, and suggest that they get in touch with the nearest social security office. The medical insurance part of Medicare is financed half from the monthly premiums paid by the older persons enrolled and half out of general Federal revenues. So the protection is worth twice the amount of the premium the older person pays. The basic premium rate is $4 a Smokey Says: 7a'PAMuetP wot s' IVORY-BILLED Y—"" WOODPECKER iJir t<= FEDERAL and STATE INCOME TAX SERVICE JOHN J.

Phone 825-2161 — New and Used Cars and Trucks — Farmers Have January Deadline for SS Reports Richmond, Va. - Farmers have until January 31 to file reports on the Social Security taxes withheld from their employee wages, James P. Boyle, District Director of Internal Revenue for Virginia, said today. The reports should be filed on Form 943, Employer’s Annual Tax Return for Agricultural Employees. Mr. Boyle said that any farmer who pays an employee cash wages of $150 or more a year must withhold Social Security taxes. Taxes must also be withheld on wages under $150 for any person hired 20 days or more a year. For tax purposes, a farm employer includes anyone who furnishes and pays workers to perform agricultural labor on his behalf or for someone else. Mr. Boyle said a “crew leader” is an employer under this definition. The 1968 tax rate is 8.8 percent of the first $7,800 of taxable wages paid a farm employee. Half the tax is paid by the farmer and the other half by the employee. Farmers should remember to give a W-2 wage and tax statement to every worker they pay $600 or more a year. Employees paid less than^ $600 should receive a statement covering their Social Security taxes Mr. Boyle said.

Marsh, Jr., said Monday that there will be a new request to raise the national debt limit later this year, unless spending projected by the pending budget is reduced. Last week, Marsh, sole Virginia member of the House Appropriations Committee, declared that the budget submitted by the outgoing administration, while technically in balance, relied on borrowing from trust fund accounts. In his remarks prepared for delivery on the floor of the House today, marsh said: “Mr. Speaker, last Thursday, I took the floor of the House to point out that the actual operating budget for the federal government for Fiscal Year 1970 was in deficit by nearly seven billion dollars, according to the figures presented by the outgoing Administration and contained in documents accompanying the budget. “As I mentioned at that time, the surplus that was shown occurs in the ‘New Budget Concept’, which includes in the gross receipts of the federal government the sums collected in the trust funds, such as Social Security. “I realize that the statement that the budget is actually in deficit does surprise many people, and there may be others who point to the ‘New Budget Concept’ to refute what I said. However, let me point out to the membership this further observation: “Ilnlpss thpre are snhctnnHnl reductions in the spending proposed in the budget presented to the Congress by the outgoing Administration, or unless there is some unexpected contingency by way of windfall that would reduce this spending, my information is that it will be necessary, later this year, for the Treasury to request legislation to increase the national debt limit, even if the ten percent tax surcharge is extended. “In support of what I have just said about increasing the national debt limit, I quote to the membership a statement contained in President Johnson’s Budget Message of 15 January of this year, and appearing on Page 26 of the publication, “The SERVICE For Finest Craftsmanship and Reasonable Prices —SEE— @xeel & tyecveOuf STORES Culpeper - Warrenton I SEE US FOR CHRYSLER - PLYMOUTH INTERNATIONAL RUSSELL BROS., INC. U. S. HIGHWAY 522 FLINT HILL, VA. PHONE 675-3646 Budget of the United States Government”, wherein it is stated: “ ‘It may be necessary, therefore, within the next few months, to revise the present debt limit. Even if this does not prove necessary at that time, the need for such action will, in all probability, arise next fall, when budget receipts will be seasonally low.’ ” Marsh concluded by saying: “If the budget is in balance with a surplus, why, then, would it be necessary to increase the national debt?
