Drive Sensibly on Holiday Weekend Richmond - In a plea for sensible driving during the three-day Fourth of July holiday, John T. Hanna, Director of the Virginia Highway Safety Division, called attention to the errors that contributed to 21 deaths during the same holiday period last year. There were 18 crashes which killed one or more people each, he said. These produced eight drivers known to have been drinking and nine speed violations. Also involved were two drivers who tried to handle disturbances in moving vehicles from behind the wheel, one operating without lights and one with a known and severe physical defect. Three pedestrians died with no faults charged against the drivers. Mr. Hanna noted that none of the 12 occupants of automobiles to whom seatbelts were known to be available had them fastened. “Any of us who takes to the roads can meet a violator and suffer injury or death through no fault of our own,” he observed. “Driving should be adjusted to compensate for the mistakes of others and for adverse conditions, such as heavy traffic, bad weather and darkness. Foresight, tolerance and alertness can go a long way towards preventing us from becoming holiday traffic statistics.” Sperryville Scouts Take Camp Honors Sperryville Boy Scout Troop No. 65 captured most of the honors in a week of camping and competition last week at Camp Rock Enon near Gore, Va. The summer camping season for the Shenandoah Council Boy Scouts of America opened at Camp Rock Enon on June 23. There were eight troops in attendance with 85 boys and 12 leaders. Rappahannock County is included in the Shenandoah Council. A banner award, Enon Elite, was presented Troop No. 65 for its outstanding accomplishments during the week. The Sperryville Troop composed of eight Scouts also took the championship in the Water Events competition. They were honored with a watermelon feast. Individual awards wale: Bill Kilby who received merit badges in forestry, leather work, basketry and Scout lifeguard; Bill Stokes, had badges in nature, life saving, camping and cooking; Bobby Titchenell made life saving, cooking, basketry, reptile study and insect life badges; Frank Coffey became a First Class Scout and earned badges in first aid and basketry; Allen Smoot, Tommy Woodard, Clyde Moore and Charles Grigsby made second class Scout and received badges in leather work and earned the Outpost patch. Bill Kilby, Bill Stokes and Bobby Titchenell were tapped for the Order of the Arrow, one of the highest honors in scouting. The Rev. William A. Harrison is Scoutmaster; however, the boys were accompanied to camp by the Rev. B. G. Titchenell who is Director of Shenandoah Area Council. The 32 man camp staff was led by Dan Beard and Carroll Shepherd, Camp Director, respectively. Scouting techniques and skills learned at Rock Enon are used by troops at home throughout the year.

Awarded Today*s Woman Judy Burtner Extension Agent, Home Economics The story is told of a homemaker who was unloading her grocery cart at the checkout counter in a supermarket. She had a package of light bulbs, after shave lotion, roll-on deodorant, 2 pairs of stockings, soap, tissues, baking dishes, 2 packages of cigarettes, strainer, paper napkins. , 2 magazines, a plant, dozen eggs, carton of milk, one cut-up fryer and a box of cereal. As she paid her bill, she remarked, “Oh. food is so expensive"; a comment that is heard quite often by checkout clerks. Generally, out of every supermarket dollar, .20 is spent for non-food items and this is where the supermarket dollar can mount up in a hurry. Where does the food dollar go2 It could be our food habits are changing. If there are one or more teen-agers in the family, it will cost more in the supermarket because they generally eat 1/3 to 1/2 more than the average adult. People eat better than they like to in that many people eat meat 10-14 times a week rather than seven. People buy morp “fancy” food items such as party foods and TV snacks. There is more outdoor cookery which often demands more expensive foods. Homemakers use more ready-to-serve foods to save time. Not all ready-to-serve foods cost more than “unserviced” foods, but many do. int; momer in me lamny may have a job outside the home and may buy more expensive foods because she doesn’t have as much time to shop or prepare meals. People buy many nonfood items such as paper towels, cleaning supplies, drug items, magazines, etc. at the grocery store. People buy many expensive out-of-season items. People buy foods that they formerly produced at home. So the next time the comment is made that food is so expensive, maybe the food has gone up in price but then maybe our habits have changed, also.

Local Retail Trade High Level in ’68 Retail business in Rappahannock County was at a high level in the past year, with most stores showing gains over 1967. Bolstered by bigger incomes, local residents bought a record amount of goods and services. They spent liberally for food, clothing, cars, furniture and a wide variety of other consumer products. Just how well local merchants fared in the year is revealed in a survey made by the Standard Rate and Data Service. The report, just released, shows how people in each section of the country spent their retail dollars during the year. In Rappahannock County, a large part of it was for food Approximately 30 cents out ol each dollar spent in local retail stores went to groceries, bakeries, delicatessens, fish markets, butcher shops and other food outlets. By comparison, only 22 cents was so-spent in the rest of the United States and 23 cents in the State of Virginia. The overall sales volume in the year, in stores selling food for home consumption, reached $898,000,. an ifl?re*uje previous year’s $862,000. ■ Not included is the amount that was spent in restaurants and in other dining and drinking places. If the food tab had been spread equally among the local population, each family would have had a bill of $736 for the year. Strong consumer buying was also in evidence locally in other branches of retail business. Stores selling automobiles, motorcycles, boats and other automotive-equipment had receipts for the year totaling $541,000, compared to the prior year’s $490,000. Sales of general merchandise, in variety and department stores, came to $677,000. In the previous year it was $581,000. Named Supervisor In Special Education Robert L.

Conservation Supervisor Ragsdale Scans Period of Agriculture in Va. oy uavia <j. roe District Conservationist Soil Conservation Service T. G. Ragsdale, Supervisor of the Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District looks back on fifty years of agriculture in Virginia. He has spent years working with agriculture and fighting for better methods of conserving and using our natural resources. He remembers the early 1900s when farming was considered a life time adventure. A man would begin working the land and if God was willing, he could expect to own a home, a few acres of open land and some livestock as his reward for a life time of hard work and personal sacrifices.

Most of the work was done by man power. Tractors were in the experimental stages and had little practical value. Grass was cut every summer and stacked outside around poles in the shape of a cone to shed water. Chestnut trees were split into rails which were used to construct fences. All of the crops were planted by hand and most of them were harvested the same way. Commercial fertilizers were unknown. Farmers depended upon recently cleared forest land, which they called “new land”, to grow most of their row crops. Good farmers would clear a certain amount of new land every year and cultivate it until most of the natural fertility was gone. Com and small grain had to be hauled by wagon to grist mills to make flour and meal. The grist mills, powered by water, were located along most of the large streams. A grist mill was within five or six miles of most any farm. The rural people cared for each other partly out of kindness but it was also a necessity. A man who needed meat in the winter could expect his neighbors to furnish him a cow or hog until he could replace it. When a bam or house was needed, the neighbors were called together to construct it. The early 1900s were a period of transition for the farm worker. The soil on the steep hills had been cropped repeatedly and inObL ui uic to^> bou uau waaucru away. Large gullies and crop failures were common features on man^ farms. The years that followed saw agriculture grow from a small infant into a powerful giant. Such progress was not the result of an accident but must be attributed to dedicated men such as Mr. Ragsdale who were willing to work for a cause in which they truly believed. Mr. Ragsdale has served on the National Advisory Committee on Agriculture which helped promote many needed improvements in our nation’s agricultural policy. Mr. Ragsdale has been a member of the Virginia Soil and Water Conservation Commission for nine years which directs much of the conservation work on a state level. Mr. Ragsdale has also served as a supervisor for the Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District for twenty-two years. He has been Vice President and President of the State Association of Soil & Water Conservation Districts. He has been one of the “foremost exponents in the actual practice of soil conservation” and the farms on which he has been manager have been show places of conservation and frequently visited by people from all over the country. His specific accomplishments in any of these positions are too numerous to mention in this article. As supervisor, Mr. Ragsdale still represents you the public, not just the rural people, but everyone - we all have a stake in the fight to conserve our natural resources.

F. Crumpton, social security district manager in Winchester, Virginia pointed out. “This advice applies to all those who are approaching 65 even though they may plan to continue working full time,” she said. The enrollment period for signing up for the doctor bill insurance part of medicare is a 7 -month period beginning 3 months before the month you reach 65 and continuing for 3 months after you are 65. Mrs. Crumpton stressed, however, that medical insurance coverage can begin with the month of your 65th birthday only if you file your application in one of the 3 months before you reach 65. An important point that the Winchester manager emphasized is that you don't have to retire to enroll for medicare. In fact, when you do file you may be surprised to learn that, because of new and more liberal provisions that started in 1966, your present earnings may permit you to receive partial social security cash benefits. The concluding advice by Mrs. Crumpton is to visit your local social security office at 22 South Cameron Street three months before you celebrate your 65th birthday. By filing promptly for medicare and for any monthly cash benefits, you will be protecting yourself. If you would like to call first, to inquire regarding things you should take along, their phone number is 667-1511. Aerial Photos Serve Variety of Uses “We think of our ASCS aerial photos as a useful tool for the farmer and, of course, that’s the main objective,” said Chairman H. S. Barksdale of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation County Committee. “But we find that quite a few other people also make good use of photo prints.” The Chairman commented that photo prints provided to producers are a main tool of the self-certification program, where farmers who take part in production adjustment programs certify their acreages of crops. “But we also get quite a few orders for these prints from representatives of municipal 01 county governments, the timbei industry, real estate meh, and even bankers, attorneys and railroads. “Highway engineers, power and telephone companies, and local or regional planning boards also appreciate the value of these photos. Even hunters and fishermen find them useful,” the Chairman continued. Nationally, sales of photo prints are big business. Although they are provided at cost, usually a very nominal figure, calendar •1968 recorded orders for 900494 prints - at a cost to purchasers of $1,207,009.23. Speaker for Men’s Day Service James R.

Tragedy of spectacular magnitude became a frequent front page occurrence. But a quieter national calamity took its dreadful toll on all the days before, during and after the Tet offensive in Vietnam, the riots, the assassinations. It was “quiet” only because it was not concentrated in a single place at a single time. There was no focus to put this misery on the front pages. To the families and friends of 55,300 men, women Officer Reports Two Traffic Crashes Trooper W. A. Buntin reported two traffic crashes which he investigated with property damage but no injuries. The first occurred on Friday and the second on Saturday. A 1969 Volvo operated by Jeffrey Lee Franklin of Adelphi, Md. and a 60 Mercury operated by Della Price Snider of Blacksburg collided at Ben Venue Friday about 11 p.m. The Franklin vehicle ran across the center line at the detour at Ben Venue on Route 211 and struck the side of the Snider car. Damage was estimated at $300 to Franklin and $400 to Snider. Franklin was charged with failing to drive to the right of the road. At 1:15 a.m. Saturday a hall mile north of Flint Hill on Route 522 Walter Randolph Sheads of Rixeyville crashed into an unoccupied vehicle which had apparently drifted into the highway. Sheads was operating a 65 Chevrolet and struck a 1964 Chevrolet owned by C. W. Dodson of Flint Hill. According to Trooper Buntin, Dodson had parked his vehicle on the side of the road for it was not running properly. The car drifted across the road and was struck by Sheads. About $700 in damage was done to each auto. to 231 to 707 to Tom Pillar’s Driver: Luther Jenkins.

Sperryrille, Va. c, Phone 967-2311 and children killed in auto accidents, however, it was the ultimate calamity. To the 4,400,000 victims of injury, it was hard core agony. The economic loss, about 13.5 billion dollars, was an appalling waste. This view of 1968 is s contained in the annual booklet of highway accident statistics from The Travelers Insurance Companies. Statistics in the booklet were compiled from records of motor vehicle departments throughout the country. The 1968 highway toll followed a year that saw a leveling off in the number of highway deaths and injuries. In 1967 approximately 53,000 lives were lost in motor vehicle mishaps - 4,200,000 persons were injured. Why the increase? Was it because Americans were lulled by the “improvement” of the preceding year? There are, perhaps, as many reasons as there are people to voice opinions. Whatever the reasons, the tragedy remains.
