Rappahannock News, May 8, 1969

Highway Dept. Tells Supervisors Rush River Bridge Will Stay A letter from Douglas B. Fugate, Chairman of the State Highway Commission, informed the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors that the bridge over Rush River just east of the Town of Washington would be left intact after the bypass around the town is constructed. The letter was read during the May meeting Friday of the county legislators. Originally the bridge was slated for destruction when the bypass should be completed, but citizens and supervisors had requested that it be left intact and included in the secondary road system of the county. Three claims for livestock killed by dogs were submitted the Board by Dog Warden Jack Bruce. All were approved for payment and included two calves, two ewes and a lamb. Bids for rewiring the county jail were reviewed and the lowest one stood at $987. The Clerk and Sheriff of the county were authorized to accept this bid if the firm meets specification laid out by the power company. ihe lown Council of Washington, Va. requested that the Rappahannock County Planning Committee also act for the Town. This met with approval. It was noted that old papers of various natures which were stored in the attic of the courthouse might constitute a fire hazard. The Board appointed the already acting county Safety Committee aided by the Sheriff to investigate and clean up such hazardous conditions which they might find. This would include oily cleaning or dusting cloths, stored paint, etc. A tentative report from the Budget Committee indicated that the tax levy for 1969-70 might be •' lower than the present rate which stands at $5.00. This is welcomed news, since the recent assessment will raise the tax base for the county. Other facts revealed from budget comparisons were the increasing share of the county for public assistance. The county’s portion in 1967-68 was 20% and in the 69-70 budget the county will provide a proportionate 33%. The high cost of distributing welfare funds was noted also. It taked $30 thousand to disburse $76 thousand, according to state specifications. The old school buildings in Sperryville and Washington came RCHS Honor Roll Grade 12 — Peggy Andes, Charlotte Foster, Brenda Hackley, Janet Hackley, Cartie Moffett, Beth O’Bannon, Janie Williams, and Eddie Clark. Grade 11 — Terry Russell, Judy Burke Grade 10 — Christine Fox, Lois Yates, Wayne Baldwin, David Cordle, and C.G. Thornhill, Jr. Grade 9 — Bill Kilby, Dabney Eastham, Wade Frazier, Lauranee Turner, Teresa Taylor, Janet Gore, Mary Lynn Smelley, Debbie Barron, Janet Payne, and Brenda Printz Grade 8 — Helen Taylor, Mauri Raney, Charla Sisk, Cheryl Taylor, Steve Williams, Bill Stokes, Cil Davis, Larimer Douglas, and James Wigington under discussion, but no positive action was taken concerning them. The future of both buildings is undetermined, but a study is being made on them. If sold as they stand, either or both could become unkempt and an eyesore in the villages. This has already occurred with other school properties sold in Amissville and Flint Hill. The Refuse Committee showed a sample of the signs which are designated to be placed at the dumpster units in use in the county. They stipulate that no burnable refuse is to be placed in the dumping unit. It was decided to have Wallace Critzer service the county dump regularly as needed. Accounts were approved for payment before adjournment. Fall Hunting Regulations Set The Virginia Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries at their final regulation meeting in Richmond April 17 approved fall hunting regulations which will give bear hunters a longer season and will move the Eastern turkey season into November, reports Executive Director Chester F. Phelps. Proposals to throw all Pittsylvania County in with the Western season and open Northampton County to deer hunting were rejected as was a proposal to close Caroline, King William and King and Queen Counties to fall turkey hunting. Deer hunters will be faced with seasons and limits nearly identical to those in effect last year. Although bag limits will remain unchanged in Albemarle, Fluvanna and Louisa Counties, doe deer will be legal game on the last of the season only. Surry County was granted 12 days of either sex shooting on the last 12 hunting days. A bucks only season was considered for Craig County but the one doe day was retained for Craig County since the 1968 decrease in kill reflected the change of doe shooting from the first to last day of the season rather than any decrease in deer numbers. The Eastern fall turkey gobbler season will begin November 17 with the deer season and end December 20. The Western turkey season will open 2 weeks earlier and close on the same date. Bear season will open on November 10 and close December 31. A spring gobbler season for 1970 was approved with Buchanan, Buckingham, Caroline, (private lands) Dickenson, Highland (private lands) King and Queen, King William, Lee, Russell, Scott, Spotsylvania and Wise Counties exempted. Proposals to permit the use of air boats on Back Bay the year around for hunting and fishing from April 1 through September 15 were approved after a number of written and verbal comments pro and con were heard. Church Notice A business meeting will be held at the Washington Baptist Church immediately following Sunday School on Sunday, May 18. Local Spending for Homes on Increase How much can the average family in Rappahannock County afford to spend for a home? How much of a load may it take on in the form of monthly housing costs, based on its current level of income, without going overboard? The questions arise at this time because, locally and in most other sections of the country, the traditional home-buying season is at hand. More families go house hunting during the Spring and Summer months than at any other time of year. Some help in making these decisions, for families in various income brackets, comes from the Federal Housing Administration and the American Bankers Association. As a rule of thumb, they feel, the cost of a home should not be much more than twice annual income before Federal taxes. Families in low income brackets sometimes have to pay as much as 2'h times income to get suitable accommodations while those with large earnings generally buy homes that cost considerably less than twice their annual income. Because the average income in Rappahannock County has moved upward, local families are in a position to go in for more expensive housing than in former years. meir Deiore-cax earnings, which represent the combined income of two or more persons in a large proportion of families, amount to about $7,000 per household, according to the latest figures. Therefore, applying the guidelines, local families at the average income level may safely expend approximately $18,000 for a home. Many Rappahannock County families have incomes that are higher or lower than the local norm. Those who are in the $20,000 or so income range buy more expensive homes but actually spend a smaller proportion of their income in doing so. On the other hand, a family at the $6,500 level will be able to afford a home costing no more than $16,000 to $17,000. As to carrying costs, which include mortgage payments, taxes, insurance, utilities and maintenance, they should be no greater than 1 /5th of monthly income, according to the recommendations. 7th Grade Leads In Attendance Record Attendance records at Rappahannock County Elementary School show the seventh grade class instructed by James Wayland at the top for the month of April. Average attendance for the class was 98.26. Following closely in second place was Mrs. Christine Johnston’s fourth grade room with 98.13. Mrs. Annie Cooke’s seventh grade class was in third place with a 97.95 average and Mrs. Anne Keyser’s sixth grade class had a 97.91 average for fourth place.

If one questioned 10 persons on the street it is doubtful if one could unscramble the alphabet i enough to give a good answer. But the Technical Action Panel ■ TAP for short - is able to provide the proper service or assistance to almost any kind of problem in rural development in Rappahannock County. The TAP is an organization of j federal, state and county agency, representatives and other! individuals interested in developing rural areas. A regular meeting is held each quarter, with more frequent sessions as problems come up that require immediate action. The TAP organization places emphasis on people helping themselves with the TAP providing assistance in financing, encouragement and technical knowledge. Projects may range from making a farm self supporting to community rec&ational areas, Industry and job opportunities, water and sewage systems, promoting tourists, rural health clinics and job training There is hardly a problem in which one or I the other agencies has not had experience. Working together, the agencies avoid duplication of effort and provide the technical assistance for all sorts of rural development FHA provides credit to implement feasible programs, Extension provides education, SCS provides technical help on the land; ASCS administers farm programs; FS advises in woodland management, and Employment Service assists in job placement Other agencies and groups provide services in their own specialized fields and programs TAP members want to provide additional information about their organization to individual! or groups in Rappahannock [County. Anyone interested may contact any of the above listec agencies for further information Water Pollution Meeting May 13-14 State and municipal wate pollution control authorities consultants, engineers, biologists industrialists, and other interestec persons from Virginia will tx meeting with others from state! in the mid Atlantic area ir Fredericksburg, Virgnia, May li and 14 to learn about the latesl developments in fighting watei pollution. The meeting, being held by the Federal Water Pollution Control Administration (FWPCA), will center around the latest techniques available to treat waste water and the costs of such treatment, according to Eugene Jensen, director of the FWPCA Mid-Atlantic Region. Jensen said overenrichment of the Nation’s waters from too much nutrients, such as phosphorus and nitrogen, is a very real threat to water quality and will take entirely new approaches to control. “As population increases,” Jensen said, “the amount of municipal sewage--and thus, the amount of nutrients -increases accordingly. Practically none of the waste treatment plants in this country were built to remove nutrients from the water they treat. As a result, increasing amounts of nutrients are reaching our streams and rivers.” “Too much nutrients lead to eutrophication which leads to oxygen depletion which, in turn, destroys aquatic I i f e , n d eventually, the water itself,” he said. Nutrients are already becoming a problem in Virginia in the lower James River and the lower Shenandoah River, as well as the Potomac in the Washington area. Virginians attending the nweting will be informed of the research and demonstration projects being carried out by the F W P C A to develop m o re economical and more efficient ways to remove nutrients from waste water and to control, or even reverse, the eutrophication process. One of the projects to be described is a million dollar effort in Manassas, Virginia to remove Unwanted phosphorus from water and to evaluate a new process of removing nitrogen. ; Horse Show May 24 Attention - All equine lovers Ihere's going to be a horse show at Fairlea Farm, home of Judgi i R.

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. Subscriptions (In advance) $3.00 in Rappahannock and adjacent counties; $3.50 East coast; $4.00 mid-west; $4.50 West. Today*s Woman Judy Burtner Extension Agent, Home Economics Would you know what to do if your child or a child visiting your home swallowed a poison or was poisoned? If such an accident should occur, call your physician immediately. If possible, begin treatment while another person calls a physician. The nature of the poison will determine the first-aid measures to use until your physician comes. For swallowed poisons, do not induce vomiting if the patient is unconscious; is in convulsions; has swallowed a petroleum product such as kerosene, gasoline, lighter fluid; has swallowed a corrosive poison; or has pain or burning sensation in mouth and throat. If the poison is corrosive, such as acid or acid like corrosives; sodium acid sulfate (toilet bowl cleaners), acetic acid (glacial), sulfuric acid, nitric acid, oxasic acid, hydrofluoric acid (rust removers), iodine, silver nitrate (caustic pencil), give the patient milk, water or milk of magnesia U tablespoon to 1 cup of water providing he can still swallow. For alkalic corrosives: sodium hydroxide - lye (in drain cleaners), sodium carbonate (washing soda) ammonia water, sodium hypochlorite (household bleach), give the patient milk, water, any fruit juice or vinegar providing he can still swallow. The suggested dose for patients 1 to 5 years of age is 1 to 5 cups. For patients 5 years and older, up to 1 quart. If the poison is a non-corrosive substance give milk or water and induce vomiting by placing the blunt end of a spoon “or your finger at the back of the patient’s throat, or give 2 tablespoons of salt in a glass of warm water to induce vomiting. When vomiting begins, place patient face down with head lower than hips. This prevents the vomit from entering the lungs. Save and give to the physician or hospital the poison container with its intact label and any remaining contents. If the poison is unknown, bring along the vomit for examination. For inhaled poisons such as gas, fumes, smoke, the following procedure such as used: carry patient (do not let him walk) to fresh air immediately. Open all doors and windows. Loosen all tight clothing. Apply artificial respiration if breathing has stopped or is irregular. Prevent chilling by wrapping patient in blankets. Keep the patient as quiet as possible. If the patient is convulsing, keep him in bed in a semi-dark room; avoid jarring or noise. Do not give alcohol in any form. For eye contamination, hold | eyelids open and wash eyes with gentle stream of running water immediately. Delay of a few seconds greatly increases extent of injury. Continue washing until physician arrives. Do not use chemicals. They may increase extent of injury. For poisons on the skin and chemical bums, immediately drench the skin with running water (shower, hose, faucet). Rapid washing (and in some cases removal of clothing) reduces extent of poison absorption and possible injury. For chemical bums (except those made by yellow phosphorous) immediately wash with running water. Cover with loosely applied clean cloth. Avoid ointments, greases, powders and drugs in any form. Treat for shock. Keep victim warm, reassure him until physician arrives. Dates to Remember Chester Gap Homemakers Gub - Thursday, May 8 at 7:30 p.m. at Chester Gap Firehall. Topic ...

Welch of Flint Hill, Va., was graduated from the Naval Submarine School at the Naval Submarine Base, New London, Conn. After receiving two months of intensive instruction in the fundamentals of submarine operation and procedure, graduates from the school are assigned duty on one of the more than 150 U.S. submarines. The submarine base, largest of its kind in the world, serves as homeport for diesel-electric submarines and both nuclear attack and nuclear fleet ballistic missile (Polaris) submarines. RAPP CHATS Rap Owings Extension Agent, Agriculture By the time the spray rig rolls in on many a com field the com will be up. This changes the weed control spray program from a pre-emergence to a post-emergence situation. And in some instances where the rows are only 24 or 28 inches wide this causes considerable head scratching, and some tough decision making. For post-emergence weed control in com, V. P. I. recommends 2,4-D; Bavel - D, Atriazine and Linuron. Material cost and your own individual weed problem based on past experience should be the guiding factor in selecting the kind of spray to use. As a post-emergence spray 2,4-D (amine, LVE, oil soluble amine) may be used from the time com emerges until lay-by time. Small broad leaf weeds are easier to kill, use higher rate on older weeds and harder to kill weeds. After com is 1 ft. high, direct the spray below the top of the com plant. The addition of dicamba (Bavel - D) improves control of smart weed and other hard to kill species. Many annuals, both broadleaf and grasses can be controlled by Atrazine. Use over-all application not later than three weeks after planting and before weeds reach l‘/2 inches in height. Linuron (Lorax) should be applied as a directed spray when com is at least 15 inches and weeds are not more than 8 inches tall. Foliar bum of corn results from contact by this spray material. Looking over the garden fence the flea bettle appears to be the most active pest at this time. These shinning, black jumping flea size insects have been making lace work of spring kale, turnips and newly set tomato plants. Sevin will give good control of the flea beetle and also knock off the potato and asparagus beetle. Apple growers will want to circle May 14th on their busy schedule. District fruit producers will be gathering at the Court House here in Washington at 7:30 p.m. to hear George Williams discuss the latest information on chemical thinning and most important there will be a discussion and vote increasing the apple advertising assessment. IS From The Book “I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth! forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.” (John 15:5) Christians are fruit bearers but not in their own strength. They are like the branches that bear the fruit that is produced by the life giving energy of the vine. A branch severed from the vine can produce nothing of value. Apart from Christ, a person is incapable of pleasing God. But united with Christ by faith, we can rest in the assurance of life eternal and please our heavenly Good NA-BOR Store JPERRYVILLE QORNER JTORE SPERRYVILLE, VA. rtvtwwwwwwwvww t Center Cut <»CX3aCXS^*S«»^*3S%JSXJCXXXXXXXXX%X3S%'' Boston Butt PORK R0A$t49 lb.

This program can only continue if the rules set up by the SCA and faculty are followed. Everyone should try to use this activity to the fullest extent so that more activities may come forth in the future. Father by works that are good in His sight. Everywhere that Christianity has penetrated, schools and hospitals have followed. Poverty and misery have been alleviated, and life generally has become more productive. There is a great tendency in our land today to forsake the God of our fathers and to trust in our own accomplishments. To the extent we persist in this course, to that extent will our national problems increase. To the extent that we teach our people that they are the product of the survival of the fittest in a world of chance, rather than a product of the creative and of Almighty God, to that extent will they go astray. Jesus said, “If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.” (John 15:6) James W. Adkins I Soc. Security Notes According to Mrs. Hazel F. Crumpton, District Manager of the Winchester, Va. Social Security Office, answering questions of a general nature in a newspaper column has been useful in clearing up many questions for our readers. Hence, some important ones are reprinted today. Should additional information be desired, a contact with the local office at 20 S. Cameron St. in Winchester would be necessary. Their phone number is 667-1511. Q. I will have earned almost $10,000 by the time I retire on July 31st of this year. Will I be able to receive any social security checks for 1969? A. Yes. You can get payments for the months of August through December if during those months, you earn wages of less than $140 a month and are not actively self-employed. Q. I'll be 72 in July 1969, and plan to continue working. I’ve been told I’ll be able to get my social security checks then. Is this true? A. Yes. You will get monthly checks beginning with the month of your 72nd birthday regardless of your earnings after your birthday. However, your earnings for the entire year will be counted in determining whether any benefits can be paid to you for the months of this year before your 72nd birthday. Q. I am a college student receiving monthly checks on my deceased father’s social security record. If I work during the summer, will I be able to get my social security checks? A. It depends on how much you earn in the entire year. If your total earnings for 1969 are $1,680 or less, you’ll be entitled to all your checks this year. If you earn over $1,680, some of your social security checks may be withheld. Q. I am a widow with 3 children, and we receive social security benefits. I’ve been offered a job making $7,000 a year. If I take this job, will it stop my children’s checks? A. No. Your earnings affect only your own social security checks, and will not affect your children’s checks. Q. I expect to earn $2,400 in 1969. How much of my social security benefits will be withheld? A. If you earn $2,400, one-half of the amount over $1,680 would be withheld from your social security checks for the year. Specifically, this would be $360. ($2,400 minus $1,680 equals $720. One-half of $720 equals $360.) Q I teach school 10 months of each year even though I am now 65 years old. Other teachers tell me I could receive social security checks for the months I do not work. Is this true? A. Yes. if you have worked Leesburg Man New TB President Frank Raflo of Leesburg was elected president of the Tuberculosis & Health Association of Northern Virginia at its annual meeting in Front Royal last week. Other officers elected to serve with him were: first vice president, James Gander of Luray; second vice president, Mrs. Harry Lovett of Winchester; third vice-president, the Rev. Charles M. Carlsson of Woodstock secretary, Mrs. Leslie Gentry of Hume; and treasurer, Mrs. E. J. Kerfoot of Front Royal. Named to the executive committee were George L. Craig, Jr. of Winchester; James M. Painter of Luray; Mrs. Earl Edmonds of Huntly; Stephen Stickler of Toms Brook; and Mrs. under social security long enough to become insured, you can receive social security benefits for any month in Which you earn wages of $140 or less, regardless of your total earnings for the year. Did you ever wonder where your social security taxes go? Did you ever worry that the social security system might go broke before you ever became eligible for monthly benefits? Here is some information from the local social security office that should set your mind at ease on both questions. Social security taxes go into a federally administered trust fund. This trust fund is used only to pay social security benefits and the operating expenses of the Social Security Administration. Any money which is not needed currently for these purposes is invested in United States Government bonds. A board of trustees,composed of the Secretaries of Treasury, Labor, and Health, Education and Welfare, is responsible for holding the funds and for making reports on them to Congress. From time to time rumors and reports are started which try to show that the trust funds are going broke or are not soundly financed. These reports are false according to Mrs. Hazel F. Crumpton, District Manager of the Winchester Office. The social security system has been reviewed a number of times by groups of independent, non-governmental representatives of business, insurance, and labor organizations, and found to be soundly financed. The estimates available covering the next 75 years show that income from contributions and interest on invested assets will be more than enough to finance all present and future benefits as they fall due. In fact, since the law provides for compulsory coverage of future generations of workers, the social security system is as financially sound for the future as it is for the present.

Things are looking better at the east limits of the Town of Washington as an old house is tom down across from Trinity Episcopal Church. The church purchased the property and is razing the building and cleaning up the lot. Another small building is also being tom down and further up the street the old Green barbershop building has been removed. The past few years have shown much improvement in this section where several buildings have been remodeled and a parking lot made at Trinity Church. Pedestrian Deaths Heavy at Night Over half of all pedestrian deaths occur at night in spite of the fact that there are fewer pedestrians and cars at night than during the day. The two main causes of pedestrian deaths, which last year numbered 206 in Virginia, are improper crossing and improper walking along a highway. The two biggest offenders are older people and children, according to the April issue of the Virginia Health Bulletin, published monthly by the Virginia State Health Department. The Bulletin reports that special studies of pedestrian accidents Involving persons 65 years of age and older indicate that seven out of ten older adult pedestrian accidents occurred at intersections in the crosswalk. In one-half of the cases the pedestrian was crossing with the light. Alcohol was not a significant factor in the cause of accidents, and very little evidence of “indifferent suicides” was found. Under Virginia law the motorist must come to a full stop, if necessary, in order to give the pedestrian right of way. Everyone is legally charged with doing everything in his power to prevent a crash, regardless of who is at fault. Many accidents occur when the pedestrian attempts to cross the street from behind a parked car, in the middle of the block or when he is walking where the motorist doesn’t expect him. “Of course pedestrians commit CLORE FUNERAL HOME “The Home of -Thoughtful Service" "ulpeper, Va. Phone 825-2361 Ambulance Service With Oxygen many foolish and unsafe acts,” said Dr. Mack I. Shanholtz, Commissioner of the Virginia State Health Department, “but the motorist should realize that they don’t deserve a death sentence.” The BULLETIN also stated that older pedestrians make mistakes because their perceptions and reactions have slowed, because they have not accustomed themselves to the changes in modem traffic conditions and because they feel they are going to be accorded the same courtesies in traffic that their age brings them in other areas of life. Child pedestrian safety efforts by school and police officials help to educate school-age children. “But because a child’s behavior pattern is fairly well established before he reaches school, the parent remains the greatest single influence in the child’s development as a safe and self-reliant pedestrian”, cautions Dr. Shanholtz. Beaded, retro-reflective material for clothing has caught the eye of the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. HEW’s “BE SAFE, BE SEEN” program urges American’s to take precautions to reduce pedestrian accidents. Research indicates that after age 20, the amount of light needed to see objects doubles every thirteen years. At age 60, one needs roughly eight times as much light to see after dark as well as at age TRANSFORM WITH Guaranteed Washable & It’s The Sensational New Wall Paint! Velvet-Smooth! 20. Pedestrians often compound the problem by wearing dark clothing after dark or refusing to carry a light. No matter what the circumstances, the pedestrian is always the loser when struck by an automobile, while the driver suffers little or no physical damage. Over 900 pedestrians were killed in the U.S. last year. r LOOK and LEARN BY A C GORDON 1. When was the dollar fixed as the unit of currency in the L\ S.9 2.

Rappahannock fjews I Highway Dept. Reports Allocations Allocations totaling $198,130,717 for construction on Virginia’s interstate, arterial, regular primary and urban road systems were tentatively approved Friday by the State Highway Commission. The funds, for the fiscal year beginning July 1, are $12.8 million less than the sum for the current year because of a large reduction in Virginia’s federal apportionment for the interstate system. Actually, Virginia’s federal appropriation for interstate highways will be down by about some $23 million, but this is partially off-set in the total allocations announced today by increased amounts for other road systems. The Federal Highway Administration has revised its interstate apportionment factors so that less money will go to states on schedule or ahead, while larger amounts will be distributed to states behind schedule. The Administration said this was to permit substantially the same completion time nation-wide. Virginia, with 660 miles of its 1,060-mile interstate system open to traffic, is ahead of a number of states, the Highway Commission noted. Funds for the arterial, regular primary and urban systems will increase in the coming year, as a result of larger amounts available from both State and federal sources for these roads. Here’s a breakdown by system: ♦Interstate - $102,996,470, a decrease of $23,590,929 from the current fiscal year. ♦Arterial - $56,000,000 up $4,000,000. ♦Regular Primary $19,282,273, up $2,236,140. ♦Urban • $19,851,974, up $4,552,332. Final action on the 1969-70 allocations, tentatively approved Friday, will be taken by the Commission after public hearings in June. ' The Commission Friday scheduled these hearings for the Salem, Bristol, Staunton and Lynchburg highway districts foi 9 a.m. June 19 at the Hotel Roanoke in Roanoke, and for the Richmond, Fredericksburg, Culpeper and Suffolk districts for 9 a.m. June 20 in the Department of Highways auditorium at 1221 East Broad Street in Richmond Commission members saic Friday that traffic need) represented the controlling facto in selecting projects fo allocations in the coming year. Ii arriving at the priority of need Virginia’s nine-year highwaj improvement program - approver by the 1966 General Assembly largely governed the tentativr allocations. In addition, consideration wa; given to specific requests receivec by the Commission and by tht Department of Highways from citizens and local groups. Federal funds represent 90 pei cent of interstate system costs, and in 1969-70 will provide $91,666,858. The remainder ol the interstate budget will be provided by the State’s matching share. Much lesser amounts of federal funds are also available on a 50-50 matching basis for some arterial, regular primary and urban projects. During the coming year, the Commission expects $13,221,803 as Virginia’s federal apportionment for arterial and primary projects, with $62,060,470 being provided for Localities Awarded For Traffic Safety The Virginia Telephone and Telegraph Company each year honors employees having outstanding safety records. This year, Stewart E. Brown, Local Manager, Front Royal, announced the company presented 30 Front Royal employees this award for their safety record during 1968. These 30 employees have amassed 297 safe working years and 207 safe driving years for a grand total of 504 accident free years. . The awards, which were presented to the employees, were in the form of gold, silver, and white certificates and are signed by Toral Duckett, Executive Vice President of the company. The presentation of these awards is made according to the number of accident free years. The Gold Certificate represents ten or more accident free years; Silver Certificate represents five through nine years; and White Certificate less than five years. Mr. Brown stated that employees’ safety is the first consideration in adopting construction, maintenance and removal methods and establishing specifications for equipment, tools, and materials. He further stated that the company’s Training and Safety School has proven beneficial to the employes and that it is the employees’ constant awareness of safety practices which prevents the accidents. J. B. Compton, District Manager of Northern Virginia District, headquarters at Front Royal, Virginia, was presented his Gold Safety Certificate by D. H. these systems by State road-user taxes. State funds likewise will supply the larger share of urban construction money, with federal sources accounting ^or $8,163,607 of the $19,751,974 total. Earlier this month, under separate distribution formulas, a record $69 million was apportioned to the State’s 42,000-mile secondary system for 1969-70. THE RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS, Washington, Va. S Thursday, May 8, 1969 Reid, Vice President and Division Manager of Charlottesville, Virginia. Mr. Compton received the award for 34 years without an accident. Mr. Brown presented other outstanding Gold Certificates to Gilbert Frazier for 29 years, Samuel Ryalls for 27 years and Warren Watson, Jr., for 21 years. Other employees issued Gold Certificates were: Bemie Bailey, Phyllis Brady, Stewart Brown, Ruth Campbell, Cletus Frazier, Lynwood Frazier, Harlon Harper, Larry Hepner, Reba Higgs, and Catherine Showers. Silver Certificates: Charles Bailey, Robert Richardson, and Gail Wimer. White Certificates: Geovonni Atkins, Robert Barr, Linda Burke, Janies Carter, Jr., Douglas Chapman, Nancy Chapman, Ira Fristoe, William Grandstaff, Joseph Miller, James Parsons, Walter Ring, Sandra Thome, and George Williams.

Data Given on Tax Refunds Ten weeks from the date a Federal income tax return calling for a refund is mailed, the taxpayer either has his check or a letter explaining why it is held up, James P. Boyle, District Director of Internal Revenue for Virginia, said today. For this reason, a taxpayer who has not heard about his refund should wait ten weeks before writing IRS. By waiting this length of time, most taxpayers will find their inquiry unnecessary, Mr. Boyle said. If it becomes necessary to write, the taxpayer should indicate where and when he filed his return and give his name, address and social security ‘Here’s looking at you, Al!" 2^7 JrA/>‘U/V Millions of tax returns are handled every filing season at the IRS Service Center in Philadelphia which serves approximately 23 million taxpayers in Virginia and four other states and the District of Columbia. The volume of processing operations there makes it practically impossible for IRS to locate a particular return and to answer any question about it until processing is complete.

Maverick’s hot! Any questions? Measure it any way you like. By the crowds. The news stories. The sales. Few cars have caused a sensation like Maverick or broken so many records. Every day more and more people are asking questions about it. Here are the answers. Q. Why did you build ths Maverick? A. We think of Maverick as another one of Ford Motor Company's answers to the gold drain. Now Americans who want small car economy don't have to send their U S. dollars overseas. O. 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 It this alza? A. Maverick pinches pennies, not people We gave Maverick more leg room. More shoulder room. More luggage room. Good example: the front seat of a Maverick offers you nine inches more shoulder room 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 the price? A. You get your money's worth. A complete, built-forAmericans kind of car. Room. Hot styling. Colorkeyed interiors. Even the heater is included. Some economy car interiors are about as luxurious as a park bench. Not Maverick's. You get plush seats. Cloth and vinyl upholstery with unique tartan plaid cloth inserts. You also get safety features like smart pull-out door handles. Strong safety door locks.Twospeed electric wipers. Safety belts. Head restraints. Plus conveniences like armrests, coat hooks, lighted heater controls . . . important little things that add so much to your driving comfort. Q. What about options? A. You can get 'em if you want 'em You can order integral air conditioning. (It's built in, not hung on.) Other options include 3-speed automatic or low-cost semiautomatic transmission, and a hefty 200 CID Six. 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 of gas mllsags can I gat? 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 get 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 of power does Mavarlck 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 of a pro football game. Q. If It has an eight 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 neat size adds up to 5'/z 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 for 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 parti and aarvlca? 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. It Mavarlck raally aaiiar and laai expansive 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 Maverickl). Those are just a few examples of the many ways Maverick lessens inconvenience and lowers operating cost. Q. Can I do my own malntananca 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 spprk plugs, replace ignition points . . . plus many other do-it-yourself repairs and replacements. Q. Can a small car ba safa? And how safa is safa? 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 doss Mavarlck rids? 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. la there an advantage In the tact that Maverick ia realty 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 Ford Dealer's ... the place you ve got to go to see what's going on. For an authentic 1/2S scale model of the new Ford Maverick, send $1.00 to Maverick.

A deceased member of a small church left a substantial legacy to her church. She was actually giving that to her God. A legatee, through some legal loop-hole, tried to thwart her • good intentions. I do not know the end HILLSDALE Drive-In Theatre WASHINGTON, VA. Fri-Sat, May 9-10: "To Sir, With Love" with Sidney Poitier Sunday, May 11: "Where Angels Go, Trouble Follows" Rosalind Russell of the story. It is my opinion that in God’s Book of Remembrance the one who tried to legate to her God a portion of her substance, will be given full credit. But, what about that one who tries to rob God? Will they assume a karmic debt for all the good that could have been done, and was not done because of selfish motives? The good that men do is not always interred with their bones. God has a way of working the evil device of man for His own divine purposes. AND DON’T YOU FORGET IT. Can Us For Shengas Corp.
