Time Nears for No Grazing on Diverted Farm Acreage Farmers were reminded today that the “no-grazing” period for land diverted from production under the 1969 feed grain and wheat programs will start May 1. It will continue for the fallowing five months until October 1. H. S. Barksdale, Chairman of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation County Committee explained that producers who are diverting land under the programs have agreed not to graze the land being diverted during a specific 5-month period of the growing season and not to harvest a crop from the land at any time during the year. Farmers who are taking part in the Conservation Reserve and Cropland Adjustment programs have agreed not to graze or harvest crops from land diverted under these programs during the life of the agreements. These provisions are important to producers because any violation of them may result in reduction or total loss of payments otherwise earned under the programs. There are 103 producers in Rappahannock County signed up to participate in the 1969 feed grain program and 38 in the wheat program. Girl Scout Troop 380 of Rappahannock County has been working for a merit badge on "My Community" and were required to visit a newspaper office, TV or radio station, so they arranged a visit to the Rappahannock News last Thursday. The girls heard an explanation of the process of offset printing (cold type) and saw samples of paste-ups, halftones, printing plates, etc. They also saw an old flatbed press which printed from “hot-type”. Viewing the old press are Susan Kindred, Sue TitcheneU, Dorothy Walter^ Rhonda Brown, Rae Rector, Gisele Summers, Seneca Gatewood, Peggy Scroggins, Anne Stokes, Psuls St. Clair, Sue Foster. Barbara Foster and Wanda Jett. They were accompanied by Mrs. A Y. Stokes, scout leader. The spring Cancer Crusade for funds for the American Cancer Society has begun and the Rappahannock Unit has launched its drive with gusto. As of Wednesday morning the total receipts amounted to $500.50. The goal for Rappahannock is $1,500. A score board for the fund campaign has been erected in the court -1--—.— yard at Washington and show the tally as the drive progresses. The scoreboard, made and erected by lan Pride, vice-president of the Rhppahannock Unit, is a football field with a player running for a touchdown. The football in his hand designates the fund total.

July 4th Exhibit Planned Here The organizational meeting for the 4th of July exhibit at the library “Rappahannock County, Then and Now”, will be held Wednesday, April 23 at 7:30 p.m. at Mrs. Mary Cleverley’s, Flint Hill. What Price Kids ! In Rappahannock? For Rappahannock County parents, what is the cost of bringing up children? What does it take locally, in the way of money, to raise a child from birth to age 18? The cost has gone up enormously in recent years. In a study that was made back in 1946, the finding was that a typical family in the United States spent an average of $7,425 in providing for a child to age 18. According to the latest figures from the Department of Agriculture, it now takes nearly that much just to feed junior for that period. The average child stokes away about $7,300 worth by the time he reaches 18. Nationally, it is estimated, the average 18-year-old represents a total expenditure of nearly $27,000. Just how much a family spends in the process of bringing up a child depends, principally, upon its financial position. It also depends upon number of children and place of abode. For families with net incomes of $6,000 to $8,000, which is where the average is in Rappahannock County, the amount that is spent on rearing a child to age 18 comes to about $25,100, according to the findings. At that rate, the 110 or so boys and girls in the local area who are becoming 18 this year denote an overall outlay by their parents of approximately $2,761,000. Included in this total are all the expenditures that are normally encountered from infancy to the time when junior reaches college age. An additional financial jolt comes at that time, if he goes to college. The major costs, outside of food, are detailed by the Institute of Life Insurance, based on Labor Department figures. They start with his birth. The outlay for doctors, hospital charges and equipment could come to $700 or more. In the succeeding years, under normal conditions, about $2,000 is spent for medical and dental care. Clothing comes to a little more than $3,000, transportation to $3,950 and personal care, $900. Then there is the cost of the additional housing space and facilities needed for the child. Incidentals, such as toys, books, movies, allowances, music lessons and the like, make up the irest. Spring Turkey Season Opens Here The 1969 spring turkey season opens in Rappahannock and adjoining counties this Saturday, April 19. As in past spring seasons, only bearded turkeys may be taken. This year’s season will be longer than usual with three full weeks, plus an additional Saturday. There is also an extra hour of hunting each day. Hunters must be out of the woods by 11 a.m. instead of the previous 10 a.m. Driving and the use of dogs is prohibited and hunting methods are restricted to still hunting and calling. Electronic calling devices are not legal. Though there are many restrictions, they all serve a good purpose, which is to afford .he hens as much protection as possible while still allowing hunters to harvest the surplus of gobblers. A big game license is required and any hunter who has not used both turkey tabs on his 68-69 license may bag one. All turkeys must be checked, as during a regular season. The bag limit is >ne a day, and two a year. College Choir Present* Program at R.C.H.S. The choir of Montreat-Anderson College presented a concert at Rappahannock County High School Friday. The choir, under the direction of Lawrence M. Skinner, was on a six-day tour which included ten concerts in parts of Virginia, West Virginia, Washington, D. C. and North Carolina. The program included early church music by Praetorius, Morley and Haydn; Oratorio Choruses from Mendelssohn ’» “Elijah”; a motet by Brahma based on a theme by Schutz; modern compositions by Gelineau and Randall Thompson and American folk music. Montreat-Anderson is a fully accredited co-educational junior college located in Montreal, N. C. I'he music department has three full time faculty members Fire and Rescue Squad Notes Amissville Fire Company responded to a Held fire April 9 at Brown Settle’s in Laurel Mills. The same night they were called to a field fire near John Mallory’s where a small building also burned. The Chester Gap Rescue Squad took Mrs. Critzes from her home in Front Royal to the University of Virginia Hospital in Charlottesville for treatment last Saturday, April 5. She returned to her home the same evening. Cancer Cures Up In Rappahannock Although cancer holds the number two spot in Rappahannock County among the major causes of death, the chance of surviving a battle with the disease is better now than it ever was. Today, one out of three victims is being cured, according to cancer specialists. And that ratio could be raised to one out of two, they say, if everyone saw a physician where the first symptoms appeared. Interest in their findings, revealed at the National Cancer Conference in Denver, is heightened by the fact that next month has been designated “Cancer Control Month.” The cancer figures for the local area, and the way they compare with those for other sections of the country, are brought out in the latest annual report of the U. S. Public Health Service. They show, among residents of Rappahannock County, a total of 7 deaths in the year from the various types of cancer. Not included are cases in the local area involving non-residents. It was equivalent to a rate of 143 cancer deaths per 100,000 population, as against 154 per 100,000 in the United States as a whole and 121 in the State of Virginia. Lung cancer, and its relationship to cigarette smoking, has been receiving more attention than the other forms of cancer. This has been due to the rapid increase' in lung cancer mortality With 55,000 victims in the past year, mostly men, the death rate is ten times what it was .10 years ago. The official figures show that lung cancer caused 18 percent of all cancer deaths in the United States and 19 percent in the State of Virginia. In Rappahannock County, the report shows, it was responsible for 4.1 percent of them. Slowly but surely, progress is being made in coping with certain forms of cancer, according to the National Cancer Institute New drugs and new combinations of treatment have boosted the survival rate in cases involving cancer of the colon, rectum, cervix and breast. As to lung cancer, however, there has been little progress. The five-year survival rale is still under 10 percent Under the c i r c u m stances, t h e recommendation is "slop smoking." Rappahannock High Panthers traveled to Elkton Friday for a league baseball game in which the Panthers clipped the Elks $-2. A safe slide into third base was executed by Stewart Henry as the ball | from the Elkj first baseman arrived a split-second too late. Photo courtesy Valley Banner, Elkton

Letter To Editor Editor, The Rappahannock News Dear Editor: I notice it has been suggested that the Supervisors put a §10 head tax on each person. Am wondering if the two-faced people will be charged $20, as you know there are lots of them in Rappahannock County. To cut down County expenses, why not have less employees. Let some of them stay home to do their knitting instead of doing it in the Court House. If I had a paying job like some of our County employees, I’d have money to pay taxes, but as it is I am only existing and I’d be visiting the U.S.D.A. office should I be drawing S.S. at the present time.

Randall had just sold ten head of lambs that averaged 104 lbs for $417. Know I looked doubtful when he told me this for Randall called the Farmers Livestock Exchange in Winchester and sure enough they had sold a pen of 80 to 90 head of Blue O’s for .4010 per lb. If there ever was a time that it would pay to creep feed lambs that time is now. If you move the >heep out on pasture, move the lamb creep with them. Shear ewes before the weather turns hot. Keep ewes cool and milking well. Anything you can do to keep lambs gaining and get them off to market will mean increased profit. Last year lamb prices started dropping off a cent a pound every week during the latter part of May and this is usually the trend. If you are in the market for replacement ewes, suggest you place your order early. Yearling ewes will be in short supply this year. Peas are up in the jail house garden and most gardens are about as free of weeds as they ever will be this year. If you are a garden enthusiast, could be you would find the V. P. I. publication “Vegetable Gardening in Virginia” helpful. The contents of this publication! includes lime and fertilizer requirements, mulching, planting date, minimum planting distance, days to harvest, and suggested varieties for the home garden.' Just remember, if you need a good rugged angus bull ready for service, a heavy muscled Yorkshire boar ready for service, replacement yearling ewes, a vegetable gardening book or a fruit specialist, give us a call. From The Book “If my people, which are callec by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” (II Chron. 7:14) This is one of the laws of God. When a people grows tired of disobedience and sin and turn from those ways unto the Lord, they will again receive the blessings. Our nation has had many great revivals in the churches in our history. The Great Awakening of colonial days, the revivals of the 1800’s under the influence of Two vehicles were involved in a collision at Massies Comer last Thursday morning. There were no serious injuries and damage was moderate. One vehicle surged through the median when struck and knocked down a sign. Though there has been much complaint about this intersection being unsafe, that was not the cause of the crash. Seed Is Available Now for Planting Wildlife Food Patches By Irvin Kenyon, Gome Warden Seed for planting wildlife food patches is now available. Each Spring this seed is provided free by the Virginia Game Commission. It is available to anyone who has a suitable location and will make the planting. The only hard and fast rules on suitable location are, it must be a location where the crop can mature and stand through the winter and it must be free of all livestock from planting until the following Spring. It is desirable that it be near water and natural cover. The annual mixture consists of soybeans, cow peas, milo, millet, buckwheat, rape and lespedeza. Because of the large variety of seed in the mixture you should get a good stand regardless of soil type. Each bag has sufficient seed to men like Charles Finney and Dwight Moody, and the Billy Sunday campaigns of the early 1900’s are probably the most significant. But many other less publicized movements have played a great part in the shaping of our country. Many thousands of local church meetings and revivals have had a great influence. Today we sense a deep need for spiritual renewal in the land. Alcoholism, immorality, pornography, nudity, divorces, drug addiction, suicides, rioting, crime, and discontentment are all on the increase. And many who do not get involved too greatly in these things lack a real purpose in life. These are symptoms of our need of revival. We need a purpose for living. This is more than to make a living. A great Christian educator once said, “We do not emphasize teaching students how to make a living. We teach them how to live and they are always able to make a living.” We need revival today. There is a great spiritual need that will not be met unless enough people begin to realize the truth of the words of Jesus, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth from the mouth of God.” (Matt. 4:4) James W.

VIRGINIA Telephone 825-0304 plant 1/8 acres. This may not seem like much, but planted in a long narrow strip along a grown up fence row or stream, one or two bags can make quite beneficial patches. Narrow patches provide “edge” which allows the game to use the patches and still be close to cover. Rappahannock Extention Agent Rapp Owens advises to work up the ground for these patches right now and let the ground lay fallow until planting time. Planting time is tough to pin down because of the many kinds of seed but based on the beans and peas in particular, Mr. Owens says May 10 is about the earliest date for planting. He also points out that the millet, of which there are two varieties, German and browntop, is late in germinating. June 1 should be about the latest you get the seed in to get the best advantage of the Spring moisture. This is a program which takes a little effort in the Spring but can be very beneficial to almost all wildlife in the Fall afid Winter. Soil preparation is going to be important in determining what kind of stand you get, and the 1 lack of weed species. As with any crop the better the seed bed the better the stand. While many wild birds and animals will use these patches, probably the greatest use is made by quail. Bobwhite has enjoyed several good years and it showed up this past Fall. He got through the Winter in good shape and was seen, just several weeks ago, still running in coveys of 7 to 10. Right now his and her year is starting anew. In just the last several days they’ve started to call for a mate. Bob’s success has been the result of plenty to eat and a winter reasonably free of snow. Mother Nature is not always so kind, however, and several food patches well placed could be just the insurance quail may need this coming Winter. To those who have already requested seed and those who have cooperated in this program in the past, I will try to get seed to you • in the next two weeks. Anyone who has not yet requested seed may give me a call, 825-3653, or write, Boston, Va., and I will be glad to set some seed to you and advise you on it’s planting as best I can. Also as in years past the Rappahannock Co. Extension Office will have some on hand if it is more convenient to pick it up there. For young people or anyone with youngsters with an interest in wildlife, this is an ideal chance to participate in a program of wildlife conservation and game management. Anyone who has a weekend or vacation home in Rappahannock County probably has no livestock and some idle land that would be ideal for a food patch or two. Finally, let me encourage everyone who has the place, young or old, big farmer weekender, or person who has to use the back edge of the garden, to take part in this program. If you think it’s for the birds, you’re right, it is.

Avoid Driver’s Blind Spot Even a very cautious driver cannot always see a pedestrian because of structural parts of his car that sometimes obstruct his vision. AAA advises parents to explain carefully to their children what these “blind spots” are, and why they must therefore assume responsibility for their own pedestrian actions. “Many pedestrians assume if they can see a car, the driver can see them,” stated John J. Wickstead, General Manager of the Automobile Club of Virginia. “As any driver knows, this is simply not true. Put your child in the driver’s seat of your car while you walk around it. Show him where the blind spots are.” This month’s traffic safety poster clearly demonstrates one of the dangerous blind spots. “In this position,” emphasized Mr. Wickstead, “a child is completely invisible to that driver. We must teach our children to look at the eyes of the driver, making sure that he is aware of them, before they can assume that it is safe to move into the street.” He also cautioned adults to “Beware of the blind spots yourself. Before you get into your car, walk around it to check Tor small children or pets. Always [remember to turn around when News of Interest from Washington Area By Mrs. Ruth J.

R. Terhune The Amissville Ruritan Club in an understanding spirit of cooperation bridged a conflict of dates to join with the Amissville Baptist Church in its annual revival last night. By meeting a half hour earlier than usual the members were able to enjoy the prompt service of the Ladies Auxiliary to the Amissville Fire Company and their tasty menu of creamed turkey proceeded by fruit cup and topped with cake and coffee, and then to reassemble at the Baptist Church tor its evening service.. It might be observed, that high on the list of community services, the National Ruritan Club has placed its recognition of the Rural Church. The Amissville Chapter, in turn included in its objectives, donations to the Sunday Schools of local churches, an invitation to the clergy to attend meetings, an offer to send a minister to a Rural Minister’s Conference and to attend church services in a body. During an era of revolt and a time of “anti-establishment”, amid scenes of protest against secular education, it may be presumed that in the not too distant future - the church can expect to be attacked by those organizations of defeat and destruction. At the Yalta Conference, following World War II, it was reported that Franklin D. Roosevelt chided Joseph Stalin on the loss of the freedom of worship in Russia. To which Stalin immediately replied, why should he (Roosevelt) worry about religion in Russia when only 25% of the people attended church in the United States. Thus by this humble action of the Amissville Ruritan Club one receives a refreshming reminder that a liberty must be cherished, that a freedom must be exercised and defended, and that through the high resolve and good example of this group, the community of Amissville can stand strong and be proud.

Why did you call It Maverick? A. You know what a maverick is A maverick breaks the rules A maverick is different. Maverick plugs the big gap between the compacts and the imports It has a wheelbase eight inches shorter than a '69 Falcon, eight and one-half inches longer than a VW 1500. Nothing else like it. Q. Why did you maka H this tiza? A. Maverick pinches pennies, not people We gave Maverick more leg room More shoulder room More luggage room. Good example: the front seat ot a Maverick offers you nine inches more shoulder ^pom than the front seat of the leading economy import and its trunk can handle all the luggage for a family of four, including a set of golf clubs Q. What do I gat lor tha price? A. You get your money's worth A complete, built-torAmericans kind of car. Room Hot styling.

But lots of people won't put an extra cent into this car. Because it's all there A complete car all ready to drive home. Q. What kind ol gas mileage can I get? A. That depends on you as well as the car You can get as much as 25 or 26 miles per gallon—if you have an educated toe and the right road conditions. If you have a lead foot, or do a lot of city driving, you will gel a lot less. In tests by professional drivers at our tracks, where we do our best to duplicate actual driving conditions. Maverick averaged 22.5 mpg. Q. What kind ot power does Maverick have? A. Maverick s Six lets loose 105 galloping horses. That's 52 more than you get in the 4 cylinder VW 1500. Maverick can cover 417 feet in ten seconds from a standing start. That means you can get up to highway speed in a hurry When you enter a 70 mph turnpike, you won't feel like a retired bookkeeper thrust into the middle ol a pro football game. Q. It It has an sight inch longer wheelbase than the leading import, does it still handle and park easily? A. Maverick can U-turn in a tighter circle (35 6 feet) than the leading economy import (36 0 feet). Maverick can slant through traffic like a halfback. It can turn on a dime and give you nine cents change. If you've been driving any other American car, you'll find Maverick s neal size adds up to 5'/2 feet to any parking space. Q. Can Detroit really build a small economy car that's tough and long lasting? A. It s not easy, but we did it Maverick's unitized body construction makes it light, strong and durable. It's welded like a battleship Rustproofing compound goes into deep crevices that never see the light of day. Then all that strength is covered with four coats of paint lor lasting beauty. Result: one tough little car that s put together to stay together. (The service schedule in the Maverick owner's manual goes up to 108.000 miles or nine years: that ought to tell you something about its rugged durability.) Q. How about parts and service? A. Maverick is designed to be unusually easy to service. You're dealing with made in-America parts and 6.000 easy-to-find Ford Dealers. Fast repairs and easy replacements mean extra savings in both time and money. Q. Is Maverick really easier and less expensive to maintain than an economy import? A. Definitely. Maverick oil changes come only every 6,000 miles and chassis lubrication once every 36,000 miles The leading economy import recommends oil changes every 3,000 miles (twice as often as Maverick) and chassis lubrication every 6,000 miles (six times as often as Maverick!). Those are just a few examples of the many ways Maverick lessens inconvenience and lowers operating cost. Q. Can I do my own maintenance work? A. Yes, if you have an average amount of mechanical ability The Maverick owner's manual contains 24 pages of detailed diagrams and easy-to-follow instructions for routine maintenance jobs you can do yourself, if you wish. You'll find it easy to change spark plugs, replace ignition points . . . plus many other do-it-yourself repairs and replacements. Q. Can a small car be safe? And how safe Is safe? A. This small car incorporates the latest advances in engineering Maverick's brakes are as big as a standard compact's—designed to stop cars weighing hundreds of pounds more. Maverick gives you weight . power . . . stability. Designed for American driving conditions. Q. How does Maverick ride? A. Here's where Maverick's longer, wider stance really pays off You get a smoother, quieter ride. Maverick's tight, strong, unitized body helps eliminate squeaks and rattles. Special insulation blocks out road noise. The people who brought you a Ford that was quieter than a Rolls-Royce now bring you a small car that doesn't sound like a power mower. Q. Is there an advantage In the fact that Maverick la really a 1970 car? A. Slower depreciation is one money-in-the-pocket advantage Maverick's 1970 model designation means it keeps its trade-in value higher, longer. (Maverick is built to be a good investment from the minute you buy it to the minute you sell it.) Better come take a look at this one You'll find it where the action is . . . right in there with other great Ford values like specially equipped Ford Galaxie 500's . . . Fairlanes . . . Mustangs and Falcons. You'll find them at your F«rd Dealer's . . . the place you've got to go to see what's going on.

The foods distributed had an estimated retail value of $526,000 and included dairy products, canned and dried fruits and vegetables, canned meat or poultry, grain and There used to be a saying in the good old horse and buggy days that ‘the wheel that does the squeaking is the one that gets the grease.’ Well, there was a meeting over at the county seat the other day for those who had a complaint about our secondary roads. I’m not a very big wheel and I didn’t do a whole lot of j squeaking, neither did I get much assurance that we would get anyi grease in the form of improvement of road conditions. They did say they would try to get the trees out of the road. That will help. There are wheels and wheels. One of the wheels that were squeaking sounded a little like profanity. Wonder how much that affects the powers that be. It might let others know you feel very strongly about the issues involved. Then there was a fellow who saw a wheel within a wheel. That was some time ago. Maybe he was the first to record the sighting of a flying saucer. Hmmmmmm? Most of the farmers in my boyhood days had cars, but they did their hauling with wagons. I am familiar with wheels that squeak and also with some of the observations made by some of the sages of that era. One was that an empty wagon makes the most noise, usually referring to a person who talked a lot without saying anything important. For fear that 1 might fall into that category I will say ,p SO LONG TILL NEXT TIME.

Burgess, Superintendent of State Police, has reported that traffic deaths for the first three months of 1969 stood tentatively at 251 as against 259 for the same period of 1968. Colonel Burgess noted that January of this year saw a record breaking 98 deaths. Previous high for the month was the 85 of 1942. February’s toll was 84, or two above that of 1968. This was high for the month but not a record. Amazingly, Colonel Burgess said, March deaths fell from the 103 of 1968 to 69. The high January and February scores, he felt, could be at least partially explained by the long spells of good weather experienced in many parts of the state. “While adverse weather presents driving hazards,” he continued, “it also slows drivers down and keeps both drivers and pedestrians off the streets and highways.” He did not feel that the drastic March reduction could establish a trend any more than could the counterbalancing January rise. On February 17 of this year, deaths stood at 156 while those for the comparable 1968 period were at 116. Pedestrian deaths were down from 56 to 51 and the steady reduction in motorcycle deaths continued with but one recorded as against six for 1968’s first quarter. In closing, Colonel Burgess observed that late reports and deaths of persons now carried as injured could bring some upward revision of the 1969 toll.

Security Notes Students were reminded today of the importance of having a social security number when applying for summer employment. Mrs. Hazel F. Crumpton, social security district manager in Winchester, Va. pointed out that an employer needs a record or each worker’s social security number so that he can report the wages paid to each individual’s social security account and pay the taxes due. The earnings credited to a worker’s social security account, he pointed out, are the basis for determining the amount of benefits payable to him and his family when he retires - or earlier, if he should die or become disabled. If the employer does not have a worker’s social security number when he sends in his first report after a worker is hired, he must file an additional report when he does get it. To avoid extra reports, some employers have adopted the practice of withholding wages until the worker supplies his number.
