Volume XX. Number 28. WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 26, 1969 lOcCopy Official and Final Traffic Statistics In State of Virginia for Year 1968 Pinal official tabulation of Virginia’s 1968 traffic deaths stands at 1,218, to mark a .4 percent decrease when compared with the 1,223 experienced in 1967, but the second highest toll in the State’s history, Colonel H. W. Burgess, Superintendent of State Police:, Richmond, announced this week. “This broke seven consecutive years in which traffic deaths have increased,” he said, noting that there were 756 deaths in 1960, 856 in 1961, 974 in 1962, 989 in 1963, 1,050 in 1964, 1,062 in 1965 and 1,106 in 1966. In Rappahannock County there were four traffic fatalities in 1968 as compared to only half that many in 1967. The county rate for 1968 is 8.8 and it ranks 77th. Rate is deaths per 100 million vehicle miles traveled, and rank is standing among 96 counties. Only one county. King and Queen, did not experience a fatality. Forty-three counties showed increases, 42 decreases and 10 recorded the same numbers as in 1967. Westmoreland, with one death and a rate of 1.5 was second to King and Queen’s zero rating and Arlington with 17 deaths and a rate of 2.0 was third best. For the eighth consecutive year, Fairfax led, this time with 61, while Prince William was second with 27. On the basis of deaths per each 100 million miles of travel (mileage death rate), Powhatan, with 10 killed and a rate of 18.5 had the worst record, while Charles City, with 4 killed and a rate of 14.1 was second worst. Greatest increases were shown by Stafford (15-27), Spotsylvania (11-21), and Augusta (14-22). Notable decreases were achieved by Mecklenburg (30-11), Pittsylvania (34-17) and Prince William (37-25). For cities with populations above 50,000, Portsmouth, with 11 deaths and a rate, based on deaths per each 100,000 population, of 8.6, had the best record for the second consecutive year. (Mileage death rates are computed from gas tax receipts. This is impractical in cities.) Worst was Chesapeake with 30 deaths and a rate of 35.0. Decreases were noted by Alexandria (18-17), Hampton (18-11), Lynchburg (8-5), Richmond (37-33) and Virginia Beach (40-17). Increases occurred in Chesapeake (24-30), Newport News (18-26), Norfolk (33-44) and Roanoke (8-18). Pedestrian deaths throughout the entire state numbered 232, or 15 more than in 1967. Deaths of servicemen dropped from 76 to 73, those of bicyclists from 12 to seven and those at railway crossings from 21 to 16. Motorcycle deaths were down from 46 to 36. The state’s mileage death rate fell from 5.2 to 4.8, well below the national average of 5.5 and traffic volumes increased 8.3 percent. Total crashes rose from 116,275 to 120,437 and 1,036 of these, as against 1,005 in 1967, resulted in the deaths of one or more persons each. Injuries increased from 43,172 to 45,693, while economic losses stood at $245 million, an increase of $15 million. Non-collision fatal crashes, or those involving contact with no other vehicle, pedestrian or other (Continue on page 5) Community 4-H Groups To Organize 4-H project groups will be organized in Rappahannock providing there is enough interest shown by youngsters and parents.

The outing was a splendid day for families and sisters, rothers and cousins competed with each other in numerous classes. Mike, Charlie and Oliver Brown, all sons of Mr. and Mrs. Elzy Brown of Culpeper lent stiff competition to all and walked off with heaps of ribbons. The O’Bannon sisters of Woodville were in the group and cousins Mary Brooke Massie of Washington and Jim Fletcher Massie of Amissville were in the beribboned group.

Local Families Less Apt to Switch Homes Of the 40 million or more Americans who will be changing their home addresses this year, how many residents of Rappahannock County will be among them? Do local people pick up and move as frequently, or more so, than those in other areas? According to data compiled by the government, their record indicates that they do less moving about than people in most parts of the country. And the time of year when they are prone to do so is fast approaching. The most popular season for moving is the summer. Statistics show that between 70 and 80 percent of it takes place in the months of June, July, August and September. The extent to which the Rappahannock County population is given to moving is revealed in another government study, covering a five-year period, based on data gathered in connection with the last census. It reveals that 1,656 local residents were living in different homes than those they had oocupied five years earlier. Of this total, 1,051 had merely moved to new locations within the county. The other 605 were people who had come from outside the county to take up local residence. As to the number of people who may have moved out of the county in the five-year period, no figures are given. What it boils down to is that 34 out of every 100 persons in Rappahannock County over the age of five changed their addresses at least once in a period of five years. This mobility rate, 34 percent, was lower than the rate reported for the nation as a whole, 47 percent. In the South Atlantic States, it !was 50 percent and, in the State ! of Virginia, 49 percent. Why do people move? The reasons are numerous. Frequently it is the economics of life that dictate the change. Sometimes a family moves in search of better jobs or business opportunities. Or because a man is transferred by his company. Or because the family has become better off, financially, and wants to live in a fancier home. Marriage, the birth of a child and other social changes are also cited as major motives for moving. Revival Service* at Thornton* Gap Church Revival services will be held at Thorntons Gap Church, June 2-8 beginning at 7:45 p.m. each evening. Wayne Thompson, pastor of Engleside Baptist Church in Alexandria will be the speaker. The public is invited to attend these services to hear Christ centered Bible preaching. Initiation Ceremony - Kay and Lee Lawrence of Amissville were initiated into the Bethel 61 Chapter Job’s Daughters at a ceremony held Sunday afternoon at the Masonic Temple in Culpeper. They are the daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert Lawrence who attended the initiation along with the Rev. and Mrs. Charles Kindred and Mr. and Mrs. Robert B. Settle. May 24 the Amissville Rescue Squad responded to a two-car crash on Route 626 and took Tictims, Mrs. Richard Pierson, Mrs. L. J. Davis and Julie Davis to Fauquier Hospital, Warrenton. May 26 the squad took Ronald Kelly to Fauquier Hospital after an aerosol can in the incinerator exploded and cut his nose. He returned home with the squad. The same night Amissville Fire Department responded to a call to Clevengers Comer where an auto was on fire. Ray T. Cannon of Castleton was among the few donors who attended the Bloodmobile when it visited Rappahannock Monday. With him is Miss Val Smith Red Cross nurse. Rush River Trout Stocking June 4th Rush River near Washington will be stocked with trout on Wednesday, June 4. The season is not closed for this stocking so fishermen will have no interruption in their sport. Large Audience Hears Literary Critic A large and appreciative audience heard Dorn Bernard Theall, book critic, at the Rappahannock Library Wednesday night. From his vast experience as literary columnist, associate professor at Catholic University and TV reviewer he presented a colorful but not always happy account of some of the current books. In a witty, sometime? mil stir mflnnpr Dorn lU»rn;»rr covered a wide range of material. In the period of questions and answers which followed it was good to note the presence and active interest of several of the younger generation. It has been suggested that more gatherings of this type would be welcome. Mr. William M. Carrigan is outgoing chairman of the Library Board. Under Mr. Carrigan's chairmanship the library has grown from a modest start with its beginnings in 19(il and its formal dedication in lbtj.'J to a recognized public library. Much of this accomplishment must be attributed to Mr. Carrigan’s untiring efforts and personal dedication to this community project. Mrs C. K. Johnson, Jr. of Sperryville has been appointed as a trustee in Mr. Carrigan’s place. Other trustees of the Rappahannock Library are Mr. 0. A. Norton; Mrs. Elmo I). Flynt, Mrs. J. Newbill Miller, and Col. E. A. McNear. Mrs. Pierson Hospitalized As Result of Wreck Mrs. Richard Pierson of Amissville is a patient in Fauquier Hospital, Warrenton with internal injuries sustained in a wreck on Route 626 near Amissville Saturday. She underwent surgery the following day. Mrs. Pierson collided with Mrs. L. J. Davis of Viewtown who sustained facial injuries. Julie Davis, her daughter, received head injuries also. They were all taken to the hospital in Warrenton by Amissville Rescue Squad. Mrs. Davis and daughter were treated and later released. Holiday Traffic Tip* John T. Hanna, Director of the Virginia Highway Safety Division, gave today what he termed “six keys for survival” during the 78-hour Memorial Day weekend. He warned against driving while percent of all fatal crashes involve drinking drivers and that this percentage increases during holiday periods. Driving when sleepy or exhausted, he said, has been shown by recent investigation to be far more dangerous than is thought. Speeding and hurrying not only make a crash more likely in that a driver has less control over his car but more severe if it does happen Buckling seatbelts at all times gives a four times better chance of escaping death or injury and less severe injuries when they do occur. 1 Defensive driving which consists not only of careful driving but allertness for the faults of others also raises the chances of survival. Night driving should be avoided as far as possible. More than half of all fatalities occur during hours of darkness, although only about one third of all traffic moves then. Twenty-six Donors Visit Bloodmobile Twenty six blood dom^ presented themselves at the Re1' Cross Bloodmobile L’nit whn h visited Rappahannock County on Monday.

RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At Washington, Rappahannock County, Va. Telephone: WASHINGTON 675-3349 MRS. SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor 1 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 TRADING STAMPS Some 375 billion trading stamps left their glue on American tongues last year. This ; would lead you to believe that somebody somewhere likes : trading stamps. Maybe the - popularity of stamps seems from '. the belief that every time you lick and stick a stamp you have gotten something for nothing. Is that so? Let’s find out. Let’s assume that you have filled out 16 books of stamps and you go the redemption center to get yourself an electric blender. TTiis blender retails for $47.95 or $48.00. So you can figure that each book is worth about $3.00 when you redeem it. Using one company’s plan as an example . ., one stamp is given for each dime, or 10 stamps for each . dollar, the customer spends in the store. To fill out a book you need z 1200 stamps. In other words, you ' must spend $120.00 to fill one - book that is worth $3.00. When : you divide $3.00 by $120.00, \7r\1 1 CArt tKrtf f/M> rlnllnv . spent, you received 2 Vi cents worth of stamps. Note that you 7 Lave to spend $1,920.00 to fill ' the 16 books to get your $48.00 ; blender. ; Now the blender is in your : kitchen. Who really paid for it? ; The store? Yes, if the prices charged are no higher than prices you would have paid in other supermarkets. Some stores think of trading stamps as a way of advertising and do not add on to their prices in order to cover their expenses to get the stamps. These ~ stores tend to be rare. - Did you pay for it? Yes, if the t store where you received most of c the stamps has slightly higher prices on some or all of its products. L* K y°u pay higher prices for r equivalent quality and variety in "r stores that give stamps, you buy 7 the stamps. Besides the possibility 7 of paying higher prices just to get f stamps, there is also the 1' probability of over spending just to fill the stamp book. If you find ; - yourself that addicted to licking • stamps, maybe it’s time to swear off. If you find out that you pay 1 more for stamps than they are : worth in merchandise, buy what : you want with cash.

Graduation Exercises will be held Friday, June 6 at 8 p.m. At this time the mighty Seniors will bid a fond farewell to Rappahannock County High School and the high school will probably do the same to them. Pictures of the Seniors in their caps and gowns were taken Monday by Mr. Overby, the photographer from Delmar. Individual or group pictures were offered for sale. An awards assembly was held Tuesday. To start the assembly off the S.C.A. installed its newly elected officers. Congratulations to Terry Russell, president; Betty Jenkins, vice-president; Bill Kilby, secretary; Cil Davis, treasurer; and Sandra Payne, reporter. Also awarded at this assembly were the Varsity, Junior Varsity athletes and the National Honor Society with their letters. The oiiop, me ousiness department, and the home economics department made presentations to their outstanding students. A banquet for the cheerleaders and Varsity basketball players was held Wednesday night at Panorama. Exams will begin on Friday, May 30 and end on Tuesday, June 3. A roar of happiness will probably be heard from the students at the dismissal of school. As this is my last column, I would like to thank Mrs. Latham for being patient with me and to thank everyone who has made this year a success. and that retails in a number of stores for $39.00 is available all year on sale or discount for $26.00 - same frypan, same guarantee.

A Boy Scout Troop has been organized at Chester Gap with 15 members enrolled. Scoutmaster is Hubie Gilkey. Part of the boys attended the recent spring camporee held at the farm of Tom Eastham near Flint Hill. Those at the camporee were, seated: Mike North, Duane Jones and Randy Williams; standing, Kevin Rinker, Jimmy North, J. R. Fox, and Gary Cameron. This was the first outing for these boys who have been organized only a couple of months. The Curtain Rises On The Auction By H. R Terhune The Huff auction held Saturday near Washington was an outstanding illustration of the claim made many times - you haven’t seen Virginia until you have attended a good old country auction. Travel agencies plot itineraries for eager visitors to the Old Dominion which include Natural Bridge, Monticello and Williamsburg, but only the privileged native of Rappahannock County and his nearby cousin, knows the excitement and entertainment of a local auction. Here is where one sees human nature, not history; people, not structures, and action that goes on befitting the occasion. Old friends greet each othli with cordiality, and courtesy is the order of the day as Virginians carry out their democratic choice without the aid of the law. (Trooper Buntin just checks on the homemade pies and cakes at lunch time.) Cars are parked in limited facilities with due consideration for the other fellow who might wish to leave early, and there is an air of good will and best behavior. The Huff sale was a typical auction combining the atmosphere of a carnival with the thrills of an outdoor circus. Promptly at 10 a.m. ringmaster and auctioneer, John Walker Jenkins, announced over his squawk box that “we will start right over here at these old farm tools.” With a first bid of 50 uive duiova...

Next a hand-cranked corn sheller went for $1.50, then a circular saw blade with table and power pulley brought a little higher price. With the glorious just-right temperature of a May sun smiling through a covering of ash trees, dispositions were mellow and the bidding brisk. Auctioneers conduct *a sale according to pattern; first the stuff then on to the more desirable items. So, following the sale of old wheels and a grindstone, Mr. Jenkins waded through the orchard grass now ready for mowing to an old farm wagon. Some of the braver and more interested souls followed, but he lost a passel of timid ones who were mindful of bumble bees and copperheads. The group viewed the old wagon buried among a rash of briars and young sassafras trees with some hesitancy, but it was finally knocked down to a man for $5. He allowed that he would be able to find out what he bought next week when he pulled his purchase out with a tractor. Hog prices have been static around Virginia lately, but the old farm bell is on the iuirm. and this one rang the cash register for $80. A what-not went for $35 and a five-foot pine cradle was put to sleep for $25. Frequently the auctioneer sold “old-timey” trinkets and items that “weren’t born yesterday” for prices according to the desire and number of bidders. It has been said that what is one man’s trash is another’s treasure, and a Virginia auction is just the spot to prove the adage. One woman, chewing out her husband for passing up an eleven dollar bid on a trundle bed, said with clinched teeth, “and didn’t you see that was real old pine?” A three foot dough board with a hang hole was lent aura of interest and age by a former servant of Mrs. Bessie Huff. She told of seeing the lady of the house kneading bread on the self same board when she went to work for her 50 years ago. Oh yes, the price was four bucks and the woman purchaser walked away claiming it a treasure. About this time, there was a sharp cry and a murmur ran through the crowd as necks were stretched in an effort to see a huge black snake in the lower branches of a nearby tree. He made the unfortunate error of descending to closely too the ground and was promptly dispatched by Mr. Audie Weaver of Green Hill Farm with his long hickory walking stick. Eye measurements are entirely untrustworthy, but as the snake’s head hung to the ground, three feet of its tail remained curled in the branches above Mr. Weaver’s head. A good auctioneer knows his public and Mr. Jenkins, who is one of the best, left the chairs and beds until late in the sale so as folk tired or the baby got heavy, they could relax in the free parking and still not miss any of yie show. Another fine provision was made by the members <^f First Baptist Church of Washington, who served a choice of homemade cake with white icing or chocolate mint, and hamburgers, hot dogs, soft drinks and coffee. Just after Mr. Jenkins had sold an iron wood stove “without a carburetor” for $32 and before he got to an old fashioned leather couch, a woman let out a yell and there was another black racer working his way along an inch thick limb directly above the heads of the crowd. Since the snake act was on again, the audience turned from relics to reptiles and ringmaster Jenkins announced an intermission in the sale “until we see what the snake is going to do.” For ten minutes Old Satin, fully as long, if not longer than the first snake, slithered from limb to limb. Like a squirrel, he seemed to have a definite travel route and finally glided out on a thinning branch extending toward the tree where his predecessor had been. Here an open gap of some 18 inches presented no problem, as the snake with amazing grace and strength thrust ja couple of feet of its body outward to secure a new grip. With a portion of its length safely locked on the first tree and a portion in midair, he just pulled forward every bit like a miniature train crossing a viaduct, apparently intent on locating its mate. However, this old snake made the same mistake as the' other, for there again was the same man with the same stick and the same results. Naturalists may bemoan the sad end of the “farmer’s friend”, but sounder judgement preferred to keep the jwomen out of the trees rather man extend picnic ground privileges to the pair of seven-foot black racers. As Mr. Weaver rang down the curtain on the snake act, Mr. Jenkins completed the sale of the leather couch. If you’ve never been to a Virginia auction, you haven’t lived, but if you do go, say never again, because when you attend a second sale, you’re hooked - you will squander days and money, but you will really have lived and you will really have seen Virginia from the inside. From The Book “Let favour be showed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness; in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the Lord.” (Isa. 26:10) Many centuries ago the prophet of God analyzed perfectly the attitude of the revolters and agitators. They are using the blessings of freedom in a mad drive to tear down. Our society rests on three great pillars: faith in God, constitutional law, and private property. All three are beingj attacked in these daysi. If the attacks were coming from without, it would be understandable. But from within and by using the freedoms our system guarantees, these people are trying to bring it down upon all our heads as Samson slew the Philistines by uprooting the pillars that supported the building. Christian people need to counteract these movements. Certainly if we lose faith in God as a nation, down we will go! Look at Israel in the days of Zedekiah. If we allow constitutional law to be crushed or undermined whether by armed rebellion or judicial action, we will surely feel a tyrant’s clutches. As for private Salesmanship Award Susan Baldwin has been presented the Liberty Bell Award for salesmanship in the Curtis School Magazine Sales Campaign. This is the first time a local student has received this award, and it has been won only once recently in the district which includes most of Virginia. To win this award a student must sell at least S2S0 worth of magazines. Susan sold $354.05 worth. She also received a certificate of achievement, a gold $100 Club Pin and enough stuffed animals to fill an annex on her father’s store. property, once you lose that, the tyrant has you. What is the answer? The promise of God! “If my people, who are called 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) James W.

Statistic*— (Continued from page 1) object in the highway, rose from 426 to 459 and killed 525 people. Colonel Burgess noted that the state was fortunate in that crashes killing more than one person each decreased from 146 which killed 363 in 1967 to 126 killing 308. Colonel Burgess explained that the same driver fault can kill as many people as happen to be in the involved vehicles and who do nothing to prevent or cause the crash. Rural deaths were down from 916 to 903 while urban ones were up from 307 to 315. The percentage of fatal crashes involving drivers known to have been drinking was 32.0. Colonel Burgess noted that this percentage is doubtless most conservative, as all facts are not known in all cases. Various national estimates place this percentage at more than 50.

Several years ago there was a popular song in which this question was asked; “What can I say after I say I’m sorry.” Are there any words that are adequate when you know a friends heart is breaking? Is grief allayed by the sound of a spoken word? Does the blending of tears, a sympathetic smile or a handclasp help? As God beckons loved ones home, there is comfort to be found in the words of Christ when He said; “In the Father’s house there are many rooms, I GO TO PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU.” Barbecue Dinner T a/iioc band nrt irmir anrrvnc r\n > Friday, May 30 and come out to the Sperryville Tigers Diamond to a barbecued dinner, beginning at 1 p.m. Sponsored by Mrs. Nannie Williams and Mrs. Rachel Aylor, it is for the benefit of the Hopewell Men’s Day Rally.
