VA. STATS LIBRARY Volume XX. Number 36. . WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY, JULY 31, 1969 10c Copy / / In a recent election of officers for the Rappahannock Jaycees Netus “Sonny” Brown was named president. He succeeds retiring president J. B. Willis, left. The gavel being presented here is not the official one used for meetings, but a large one used throughout the region to stimulate and increase club visitation. Ralph Nichols of Orange presents the gavel to the local club. Dubbed “have gavel, will travel", it is passed from club to club by a visiting team. If a club retains it too long, it is fined. County Water and Sewer Authority Reorganizes; Sperryville Considered On July 23 the Rappahannock County Water and Sewer Authority met and considered a reorganization of the authority and the question of a planned sewer system for the town of Sperryville. At the meeting C. E. JV nson, Jr. was electee chairman, I. L. Parrish vice-chairman and W. F. Moffett, Jr. secretary-treasurer. The Rappahannock County Water and Sewer Authority was formed on May 3, 1968 for the initial project of installing a complete sewer system in the town of Sperryville. The need for this system was pointed out several years ago by the State Water Control Board, whose purpose is to prevent pollution of Virginia’s small streams and large rivers. The first step taken by the authority concerning the Thornton River problem was the employment of a firm of engineers to make a survey of the pollution problem in the county. This survey showed that a definite need existed for a sewerage system in the Sperryville area; and that a substantial delay in the installation of the system might result in a contamination of the area’s wells. This would involve the additional installation of a costly water system. The FHA has recently approved a combined grant and loan to the authority. It is hoped this loan and grant will finance the proposed sewer system. Details regarding the operation and financing of the sewer will be released through a notice in the near future to all residents of the Sperryville area. It is worth noting that under the proposed plan the county’s taxpayers will not be required to finance the Sperryville project. The system will be paid for by the residents who use it. Within the near future a public meeting will be held for the purpose of considering this question. Because the sewerage project will be of great importance to the general welfare of the Sperryville community all residents are urged to attend. Selective Service Office The Rappahannock Selective Service office, Local Board 102, will be closed on August 1, 4 and 5. No Swimming Thursday There will be no 4-H swimming classes this Thursday evening because of the Flint Hill carnival and parade. Classes will be held as usual on Saturday at Dr. Krebsner’s pool. Battle, Howell Vie for Pollard Vote By Douglas Baumgardner William C. Battle of Charlottesville and Henry Howell of Norfolk both see themselves as winners in the coming August primary for governor. Both feel that they will receive the greater portion of the votes that went to loser Fred Pollard in the initial July 15 primary. Battle, who cast himself as a moderate between the more conservative Pollard and liberal Howell, justifies his claim to Pollard’s vote on logical grounds. He apparently feels that the supporters of the more conservative Pollard would support him over his more liberal opponent. Battle was the front runner in the July 15 primary and has said that he expects to come out of the August runoff with a clear victory. He feels that Howell’s percentage of the vote will not be substantially higher than the 38 per cent the Norfolk State Senator received in the initial primary. Battle ran first with 39 per cent and Pollard third with 23 per cent of the 408,000 votes cast. Howell seems to feel otherwise. He has said that he fully expects great numbers of Pollard’s voters to vote for him as they watch the progress of the campaign. For such an event to occur Howell’s appeal must defy all laws of rational political thought. If the situation is examined in a logical manner one cannot help but conclude that Battle is the natural heir to the Pollard vote. Howell, however, can note his very strong showing in rural southside areas, which used to serve as a bastion of Byrd organization strength. Howell claims that conservatives will get behind him because they like a campaigner who “tells it like It is”. He also has said that he believes 70 per cent of all Virginians are opposed to the state tax on food and patent medicines, which he vigorously opposes. Governor Mills E. Godwin, who is thought to be very influential with Pollard voters, has endorsed Battle. Pollard, however, has chosen to remain silent for fear that any action on his part will endanger the chances of Delegate Guy O. Farley, Jr., a member of his ticket, who is in the runoff for Attorney General against Andrew Miller of Abingdon. The results of the coming runoff primary election will be of great interest to all concerned Virginians. Indeed, they will indicate whether it will be the middle of the road approach of Bill Battle, the neo-populist, liberal outlook of Henry Howell, or perhaps even the Republican Party that will dominate the future government of Virginia. Soggy, rain soaked trees in the Amiarrille Baptist Church yard toppled over or split apart in the storm Sunday night, a continuation of soakina rains which had occurred all week. Rainfall for July has totaled 7.60 inches in Washington, Va. Many areas surrounding the county have had devastating rains with much property damage resulting. Flint Hill Firemen’s Parade Tonight; Carnival Continues Thru Saturday The Annual Flint Hill Firemen’s Carnival opened last night with a brilliant display of fireworks. Tonight’s activities will be highlighted by a Grand Parade. The parade, which starts at 7:00 p.m., will be led along the mile long parade route by Grand Marshal, Miss Fran Garten of Long Island, New York who currently holds the title of “Miss American Teen-Ager.” Buddy Allen, “The Country Giant” will also appear as a special guest.

He has appeared at the Old Dominion Bam Dance in Richmond, and currently may be heard daily on his own radio program on station WRFL. His latest album was released by the Major Recording Company, and is entitled Meet the Country Giant.

Burtner, Extension Agent, Home Economics of Rappahannock County (telephone 675-3619). Rappk. Population on Increase For First Time in Decade As predicted by many, the population of Rappahannock County is now, for the first time in decades, on the increase. This increase inidcates that Rappahannock, like her neighbors, is finally on the threshold of population growth. Despite contrary observations and predictions, the population growth in Rappahannock County within the last few years has been very small. According to Martin, Clifford and Associates, Rappahannock saw a population increase of 30 persons, or 0.6 percent, from 1960 to 1967. Martin, Clifford and Associates states that, although this growth is small, it is significant because it indicates a reversal of the population loss trend of previous decades. One of the largest influence* upon population growth is transportation. When easy access to urban areas is provided, an ares such as Rappahannock might expect substantial suburban r .WWWWXWWWWWVi s Fire and Rescue $ \ Squad Notes ; Flint Hill Rescue Squad tool Mrs. Clarence Cloud from Fron Royal Hospital to Winchestei Memorial Hospital and returner her to Front Royal on Friday.

The widening of Highway No. 211 and U S. ■ 17 from 1-95 to Warrenton will provide convenient transportation arteries from Rappahannock County to every area of Northern Virginia. Route 211 will actually become the most direct route from the Washington, D. C. area to the Valley of Virginia. The installation of mass transit systems in the Washington suburbs will shorten commuting distance for city workers. Thus one can conlude that the completion of the construction of these transportation arteries will result in population increases in Rappahannock County. Another basis for population projections is a study of population growth trends in adjacent and similarly situated areas The counties of Clarke, Madison, Orange and WarTen, all considered similar to Rappahannock, have experienced continual population growth over the last two decades The adjoining counties of Page, Culpeper and Fauquier have experienced similar growth patterns. On a purely mathematical basis, one might well predict only slight population increases in Rappahannock County for years to come. Past experience, however, has shown that such methods of forecasting are often inadequate. Indeed, population forecasts, because they must eliminate or guess at unknown factors, are virtually always conservative. Making an accurate population I forecast for any area is virtually impossible. There are many unknown factors involved. I Whether indust,'y or other major attractions will come to this area ; will play a great role in ; population growth. The only rational predict, on that can be made is that there are enough L factors and potential factors ’ present at this time to guarantee a 1 future growth in the population of Rappahannock County. C. J. Miller, Jr. of Washington was elected president of Rappahannock National Bank Tuesday at a meeting of the directors. He has been associated with this bank since 1925, was executive vice president and has served as cashier for the past 14 years. He fills the vacancy left by the recent death of Robert W. Miller of Woodville. Thomas Williams of Flint Hill was named vice president and George Miller of Woodville was named to the board of directors at Tuesday’s called meeting. Washington Bypass Contracted by Wiley Jackson Co. for $1,487,494 Twenty-eight contracts totaling $18,305,095 have been approved [for award by the State Highway Commission. Bids on the projects were opened in Richmond on June 25. The largest single contracts were for Interstate Route 64 work near Richmond. The Commission authorized readvertisement of 11 projects on which bids exceeded estimates or for which no bids were received. A list of projects in Rappahannock County and the surrounding area is as follows: RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY - Arterial US 211 - 2.69 miles of four lanes divided, bypassing Washington, Virginia, east and west of Rush River. Wiley N. Jackson Co., Roanoke, $1,487,494. FAUQUIER COUNTY US Route 17 - 0.76 miles between Old Tavern and Marshall, south of proposed I 66, reconstruction W. G. Roach Paving Co., Inc., Warrenton, $330,191. CULPEPER COUNTY -- July Rainfall 7.60 In. July rainfall through Wednesday morning totaled 7.60 inches, according to the official weather gauge in Washington, Va. TTiis is the most rainfall for that month since 1959 at which time there v^as 7.25 inches. In 1956 July rainfall totaled 12.15 inches. According to the Highway Department, no serious road damage has been done by the severe storms; only a few small washouts have occurred Three Vehicle* Involved in Crash Three cars were involved in a collision on Route 211 west of Sperryville Sunday evening about ! 6:20. They were Manuel Thacker of Greenbelt, Md operating a 67 Ford pickup; William Franklin Wills of Arlington in a 65 Pontiac; and Ruth B. Graham of Stafford in a 62 Pontiac. According to Trooper W A. Buntin, Thacker attempted to make a left turn into Parkway Souvenir Shop and was struck by the Wills car which was attempting to pass. Wills was unable to see the Thacker signal because of a car in between them. After striking the Thacker car, Wills struck a second vehicle parked in front of the souvenir shop belonging to Ruth Graham. Damage to the Thacker vehicle was estimated at $250; to the Wills car at $600 and at $500 to the Graham car. Wills was charged with reckless driving and Thacker with failing to give a timely signal. Arterial US 29 - 3.44 miles of dividing on the western end of the Culpeper bypass from Route 29 1.1 miles south of Culpeper to Route 3. (No acceptable bids received, being readvertised) German Cyclist Visits in County On Friday, July 25, the famous Heinz Stuecke of Hovelhof, West Germany visited with the Rev. Charles Kindred of Amissville, Virginia Heinz Stuecke has recently completed a “Tour du monde”, which involves a bicycle trip around the world. Heinz Stuecke started his trip around the world on August 22, 1960, from his hometown in Western Germany. At the time of his arrival in Mexico on April 27, 1968, he had visited 72 countries in five continents. He had covered 43.750 miles on bicycle and 93.750 by ship, plane, train and car Stuecke chose the bicycle as his chief mode of transportation because “it is the cheapest form of transport and because it is an ideal way to see the world: slow enough to study thoroughly each country and its people and fast enough again to traverse large distances". Stuecke described his ambition and desire to complete the round-the world trip as so strong that “not even illness, bad roads and dangerous adventures could deter me”. He contracted typhoid fever in Persia, pneumonia and beatings by Nasser’s soldiers in Egypt; in Soviet Russia he was locked up; in Algeria bandits selected him as their target; in Morroco he had to push his cycle through the night in flooded territory; in Ethopia he was without water for two days; and near the city of New York all of his personal belongings were stolen Heinz Stuecke is presently completing a leg of his trip which will take"' him to the USA, Canada, Alaska, Hawaii, the Far East, Japan, Australia and through India back to Germany. As Heinz Stuecke came through Rappahannock County last Friday America had completed its task of sending men to the moon. Technology, more than hard work and physical prowess, now dominates our way of life. While all applaud the scientific advances of mankind, we must at the same time deplore the growing tendency of people to feel impotent in a world that k increasingly hard to understand. It is men such as Heinz Stuecke that strengthen man’s faith in hk ability to make an imprint upon the world in which he lives

Today^ Woman Judy Burtncr Extension Agent, Home Economies Information on freezing fruits and vegetables is included in the USDA Bulletin 10, Home Freezing of Fruit and Vegetables which can be obtained from the Extension Office. We do not need to continue to emphasize the importance of blanching of vegetables. Blanching destroys the enzymes responsible for changes in color, flavor, and texture. Remember that blanching time is counted from when the vegetable is plunged into the boiling water - not when the water returns to ^boiling. Generally, we say the smaller the piece, the shorter the blanching time. At the end of the blanching time, the food should • be dipped into cold water to stop the cooking. Blanching does reduce the number of microorganisms present but its major purpose is to prevent undesirable changes in •color, flavor and texture. Blanched vegetables are easier to ^pack into containers than unblanched ones. 1 Enzymes are active in fruits, •too, causing them to darken. Blanching fruits to inactivate the enzyme would cause them to have a cooked flavor, so we use other methods. One is to keep air out as the enzyme must have oxygen. We do this when we pack fruits in syrup. Sometimes we put crumpled paper on top of the fruit to be sure it stays under the .syrup. ' Another method of interfering with enzyme activity is to add ascorbic acid. It is acted on .instead of the fruit. Citric acid may be used alone or with ascorbic acid. It is effective because the enzyme is less active in a more acid medium. Freezing Cabbage Numerous requests have arrived in the office concerning the freezing of cabbage. Cabbage cannot be frozen satisfactorily for use as slaw. In the freezing process, the cabbage loses its crispness just as lettuce does, cabbage. Cabbage cannot be frozen satisfactorily for use as slaw. In the stews. A short cooking time is used. (It is really blanched.) The product is easier to pack into containers than when raw. It doesn’t seem worth the freezer space, really. USDA Smokey Serye: Don’t destroy that investment. Help pre\ent forest fires! Game Commission Sets Bird Limits An increase from 12 to 18 in the daily bag limit for mourning doves was the biggest change in migratory bird regulations approved for the upcoming season in Virginia, reports Game Commission Executive Director Chester F. Phelps. The first half of the state’s split dove season will open September 6 and close November 1. The second period will begin December 15 and extend through December 27. The bag limit will be 18 doves daily, 36 in possession. As usual, shooting will be limited to afternoons from 12 o’clock noon until sunset each day. The increased bag limit is an effort to gain more information on the dove and the effects of gunning pressure. The experiment with the higher bag is expected to remain in effect through next year in the Eastern states. Rail seasons were set to open September 12 and extend through November 20. The opening date corresponds with seasonal high tides expected to create ideal rail hunting conditions. Hunters will be allowed 15 clapper and king rails combined daily and 30 in possession, plus 25 sora and Virginia rails combined daily or in possession. Woodcock season will begin November 17 and end January 20 with bag limits of 5 daily, 10 in possession. The season on jacksnipe (Wilson’s snipe) will also begin on November 17 but will extend only through January 5 with a daily limit of 8 and a possession limit of ^6. Shooting hours for all migratory species except doves are from .one-half hour before sunrise until sunset each day. Possession limits apply to birds killed on more than one day. figures that it costs 9 to 13 cents a pound to freeze food without counting the cost of th<Tfood.

Program (wheat or feed grain) for which payment is made. 2. Amount of payment, for entire farm and for individual producer. 3. Planted acreage, and diverted acreage if any. 4. Projected yield. Payments made under the wheat and feed grain program in Virginia are normally made in August and the Payment Computation Statement is attached to the sight draft for the payment, Chairman Barksdale explained. “It’s something like the explanatory vouchers that are part of other business checks, or some paychecks.” "Oie statements are prepared in computer centers and sent back to County ASCS offices, which then deliver them to the farmers, “If this important statement should be destroyed or misplaced after the producer receives it, he can obtain the information record from his county ASCS office,” the Chairman continued. “It is possible that a producer will receive several, one for each program in which he participates,” the Chairman added, “and he certainly should keep them all as an important part of his operating records. If there are any questions about this, he can contact his County ASCS Office.” RAPP CHATS Rap Owingt Cxteaaioa A*eat, Afrtealtare Animal Industry Day at V.P.I. irew more than 1,500 visitors from over the state of Virginia ast Friday.

From The Book 111 f “The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?” (Psalm 27:1) David declared that he was unafraid when the enemy camped round about him. His hope was in the Lord. And the Lord never lost a battle, and was one of the few fighting men of his day who lived to die of old age. Note that to David, the Lord was light, salvation, and strength. He is that and much more to all who trust in Him. How do you find Him? By believing on the Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour. Jesus promises, “I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” (John 8:12) James W. Adkins Woodville Social Items Mrs. J. M.

Well, that is about the situation tonight. I feel ’ like I would just like to listen to some good music, or to good ' conversation with friends. My wife asked me to write something that was not morbid. ’Well, somehow in our ' conversation we got to talking ; about kissing. I told her that a kiss is the smallest fraction known, nothing divided by two. As usual, she didn’t agree with me. She intimated that kissing might lead to something else. It i did, she married me. (A word to , the wise, boys.) Paul, in one of his letters instructs the addressee to greet . thus and so with a kiss. It is a common practice with some people to kiss in greeting.

Phelps. Dingeil-Johnson funds for fish restoration made up $90,216 of this total representing a considerable increase over the $67,508 apportioned the year before. The $328,213 in Pittman-Robertson funds for wildlife restoration is only slightly above the $316,737 allocated last year. These initial apportionments supposedly represent from one-half to two-thirds of the total available for the year. The State wildlife agency must put up $1 of state funds for each $3 of federal funds used on approved projects. Dingell-Johnson funds are receipts from a 10 per cent federal excise tax on fishing tackle while Pittman-Robertson moneys come from a similar 11 per cent tax on sporting arms and ammunition. One of the conservationists’ great fears is that restrictions on gun ownership and use may reduce these much needed funds used to finance research leading to better hunting and to finance lakes and wildlife management areas for public use. The moneys are collected from the manufacturers and deposited in the U. S. Treasury from which they are divided up among the 50 states, the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico according to land area and the number of paid hunting and fishing licenses sold in each state. Mr*.

Upsurge in 4-H Farm Projects A record enrollment of 968,000 boys and girls in the national 4-H Agricultural program was reported for 1968, according to figures supplied by the Cooperative Extension Service in 50 states and Peurto Rico. This is an increase of nearly 19,000 over the previous year. The popular program covers a broad area of agriculture. Crops, livestock, poultry, management, marketing, experimental and research projects attract young farmers from every' section of the U. S. Since not all farm youths will remain on the farm, the 4-H agricultural program is an important training ground for future careers, says a 4-H spokesman. Agri-business today amploys about 40 per cent of the working population. The 4-H Agrucultural program has been sponsored for 15 years by International Harvester, a pioneer 4-H backer. Incentive awards are provided on an annual basis. Harvester also will be host to 1969 state and national award winners who attend the National 4-H Congress in Chicago. In addition IH hosts a spectacular luncheon for the entire Congress delegation of some 2,000 persons. Scholarships of $600 each will be presented to six national winners during the Congress. All state winners will receive a expense-paid trip to Chicago for the week-long event starting right after Thanksgiving. Results of increased participation in the program is also reflected in the number of county medal winners last year. Nearly 6,900 young farmers claimed a medal. Miss Stone Engaged Mr. and Mrs. Walker Stone of Washington, D. C. and Hawthorn Farm, Woodville, announce the engagement of their daughter, Sharon Lee, to Michael Sean Kilpatrick, son of Mr. and Mrs. James J. Kilpatrick of Alexandria and Woodville. The wedding is planned for October 11 in Sperryville Baptist Church. Miss Stone is a graduate of Penn State University and formerly taught in Culpeper County public schools. She is presently an education writer for the Washington Daily News. Mr. Kilpatrick was graduated from the University of Virginia and is employed as a reporter with the Culpeper Star-Exponent. 1 A Sermon In The Church Yard i By H. R Terhune The doors of Amissville Baptist Church were forcifully barricaded to the public last Sunday evening. It was not until Tuesday morning that it was noted that the obstruction was being removed. A bevy of the most attractive set of young married ladies and a set of more talented maturing matrons, who to be sure were also attractive, were gathering at the church enroute to an extravagant hoe-down of the Homemakers Clubs in New Market. They were greeted by the sight of two old timers cutting up the entire top of a large locust tree. Swept up in a sudden blast of the wild wind and rain storm Sunday evening, the twisting current had wrenched loose the massive top and deposited it gently, but squarely in front of the front doors of the church. Now the two old timers presently joined by a third old bird, were hard at the trimming and sawing. Not sawing with one of those awful whining, rancous things that buzz right through the ear drums, but sawing with a two-man crosscut saw, the same as grandpa used and the same as his granddaddy used. The sound it made was swish, swish - quiet and rhythmic, like mama’s silk petticoat when she rocked baby sister to sleep. The rise and fall of the axe was a sweet reminder of long ago, when the steady chip chop in the back woods tapped out the reassuring message of warmth for the winter or kindling for the cook stove. The art of using an axe is steadily becoming forgotten and the crosscut or buck saws are antiques of today’s city boys. But the man who swung the 5-pound axe Tuesday morning was artist. Many a tree had fallen to his axe in the mountains, and many a 20-inch log had he helped to hand roll onto the logging cart. Some men don’t like a 3'2-pound axe -too light-but it is a right satisfactory tool to trim branches. In the trimming operation, the axe is stroked away from the trunk, striking the top of the branch at about a 45 degree angle. A single stroke is sufficient to sever a 3-inch branch or larger. Being ambidexterous saves time and the undercut or cutting under helps sever a difficult limb. Judge a man by the company he keeps is an adage, but the [condition of his tools will also tell you something. A sharp axe [shouldn’t substitute for a razor, and although it might be used to scrape hog bristles, the edge with the proper level and keeness will withstand the shock and impact of hard wood all day long. Look at the handle and see if a little piece has been cut off the free end, offering a small flat surface to tap home a handle loosened from the axe head, and still not splinter the grip. As the crosscut saw bit into the standing stump, the backs of the two old boys swayed to and fro, bowing alternately to each other as each pulled his stroke. But the locust was sticky and so the 5-pound wedges were shaken out of the sack and hammered into the cut behind the blade. The swinging resumed, 15 minutes, a half hour, probably 45 minutes elapsed before the shout of timber accompanied the crash of the severed trunk.

CARLYLE LEA, Trustee Auctioneer: John Walker Jenkins 7-17-4k of value set aside some parts for burning and some for locust fence posts and stakes. But the trash and branches must be stacked, not as a monument of beauty, but as an object temporarily acceptable. So starting in a seemingly aimless fashion, branches were lapped and overlapped like courses of shingles until the mound appeared as a large hay cock or if imagination were really cut loose, like a huge thatched hut straight out of the African veldt with a pigmy or two hiding inside. Oh yes, the sermon in the church yard-it was discovered in a second fallen tree, a tall soft maple. Lying there it seemed the picture of health, rich in its green; lush in its foliage; and stately with its arch of spreading branches -but rotten, completely rotten inside. The Good Book, in 1st Samuel says-“Man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.” The self appointed task had been completed, the way to the church was clear; the doors of the church would be open and preaching would be heard Sunday morning, but the efforts of the three old woodsmen had brought them an early blessing-they had seen the sermon in the church yard on Tuesday. HRT Country Music Contest To Be Held The weekend of August the 2nd and 3rd will see the 19th annual presentation of the National Championship Country Music Contest by the Warrenton-Fauquier Jaycees at Whippoorwill Lake.

The contest promises to be an interesting affair for all country music fans.

Mrs. Hazel F. Crumpton, District Manager, Social Security Administration, stated today that inquiries received recently indicate that there are some misconceptions as to procedures and requirements for filing. The questions relate to payment for services covered by the supplementary medical insurance-the part that helps pay for doctor’s bills, outpatient hospital services, other medical services and supplies, and home health services. It appears that the public is not aware of a change in the law which was effective in 1968, Mrs. Crumpton said. Prior to that time, the patient was required to pay the doctor or supplier and submit the receipted bills. This created a hardship for many people with limited incomes, who often found it necessary to borrow money to pay the medical bills. Realizing this problem, Congress amended the law. Now, the patient can file a claim and receive payment even though the bill has not been paid. All that is necessary is that he attach to his claim an itemized statement from his doctor. Then payment will be made directly to the patient. The alternate method of r payment remains the same. A patient may make assignment of an unpaid bill to a physician or supplier, if both parties agree. By accepting assignment, the physician or supplier is paid directly by the Medicare carrier. The patient is responsible for the first $50 of medical expense incurred in a calendar year, plus 20% of the remainder. Anyone having questions regarding Medicare is urged to contact the Social Security Office, which is located at 20 South Cameron Street, in Winchester. * 1111 V" I ■■ ' The first locomotives with whistles were built in 18-Sh at Lowell, Mass.

Mr. and Mrs. James L. beeghly, Lee Run Road, Poland, Ohio, followed the marriage Saturday afternoon, July 19, 1969, of their daughter Miss Nancy Jean Beeghly, to Major Richard Evan McNear. He is the son of Colonel Evan A. McNear, USA (ret) and Mrs. McNear of Greenwood Farm, Washington, Va. The wedding took place in the Trinity Methodist Church at Youngstown, Ohio. On the candlelit altar were vases of white majestic daisies, white asters and gladioli, while along the center aisle were white satin bows and schefflera foliage. Mr. Beeghly gave his daughter in marriage. She wore a demi-fitted princess gown of white silk organza embellished with beading and quipure braid and having a full chapel train. A matching headpiece held her veil and she carried a colonial bouquet of stephanotis, baby’s breath, white sweetheart roses and miniature carnations. Her honor attendant was her sister, Mrs. Robert H. Adams of Norwalk, Connecticut, and in the bridal court were bridesmaids, Mrs. Charles E. Weitz, Jr. of Warren, Ohio; sister of the bridegroom; Mrs. John F. Mohr of St. Paul, Minnesota; Mrs. John R. Burgan, Silver Spring, Md.; Miss Loraine Boland of Chicago, Qiinois; and Miss Susan Lee Steffey, Washington, D.C., Miss Kristi Anne Weitz, niece of the bridegroom, was flower girl. All of the attendants were wearing watermelon pink linen dresses trimmed with Venice lace and each carried a flower cascade of dark pink sweetheart roses, daisies and ivy. Major Daryl L. Kouns of West Point, New York was best man. Steven Joel Beeghly of Ventura, California, nephew of the bride, was junior usher and other ushers were James M. Beeghly of Ventura and Joel H.

Donors May Give Blood to Age 66 Washington, D.C. •• Americans in good health can be blood donors until they reach age 66 instead of age 60 or 61 as in the past. A joint announcement of this liberalization of medical standards for blood was made on June 26 by the American National Red Cross here and by the American Association of Blood Banks in Chicago. The two organizations together collect and process 90 percent f the more than 6,500,000 pints of blood used annually for surgery and therapy in U.S. hospitals. Dr. Tibor J. Green wait, medical director of the American National Red Cross ^ Blood Program, emphasized that any healthy SIDEWALK SANDAL SALE at Ungar's All Sandals.J-2 Price Girls Dress Patents./-2 price Select Group of Menfs Shoes . $5.00 “ “ of Miss Americafs .

He said, “We have many donors who have given 11, 12, and even 13 gallons of blood without incident. Most of these are eager and able to continue giving. The change will permit them to do so except in jurisdictions where it is contrary to local regulations. Dr. Frank Coleman of Tampa, Florida, and president of the American Association of Blood Banks said, “This extension ol the eligible age limit for blood donors is in recognition of two facts; first, that the need for blood is constantly increasing at a rate of about 12 percent annually, second, thanks to better medical care, better nutrition and other factors, Americans are living longer and also keeping their health and vigor longer than in the past.” Donors 66 years of age or over, under the new ARC and AABE policies, may continue to give blood if they obtain the written consent of their personal physician on the day of donation. Donors must be in good health, have normal temperature, pulse and blood pressure, and meet the other requirements for blood donors. Individuals should check with their local Red Crow blood center or community or hospital Mood bank relative to their eligibility to give blood. State laws generally require Mood donors to be 21 years old or to have parental consent to give between 18 and 21. A number of states, including California, Kansas, Washington, New York, Indiana, Oklahoma, Minnesota and Oregon, recently enacted legislation permitting those 18 to 21 to give without parental consent. In some states those of this age who can give Mood must be self-supporting and living away from home. Both organizations have blood clearinghouses, permitting blood given locally to be credited to patients in other cities and areas with surplus Mood to aid those where it is short. Exchanges between the two clearinghouse systems are made possible under a joint interorganizational agreement signed between the ARC and AABB. Norman Family Reunion On July 20,1969, Mr. and Mrs. Daniel M. Norman of Rockville, Md. were host for the family reunion held at their country home, Pine Haven, near Rockmills.

Eye Donors Given Guidelines Richmond--In view of the increased public interest in the donation of human organs and tissue on death, the Old Dominion Eye Bank has issued some new guidelines for eye-tissue pledging. R. Kenneth Hudgins, Executive Director of the Old Dominion Eye Bank in Richmond, called attention to the fact that eye tissue to be used for sight-restoring transplants through the services of an eye bank should be specifically stipulated as so donated, even in cases where entire human bodies are assigned, on death, to a medical institution for either transplant purposes or for the advancement of medical science. Where two or more parts of the human body are so donated, Hudgins said, the donation instructions, as well as the legal instrument willing parts or all of the body, should specify that the organization first taking custody 19th ANNIVERSARY t SIDEWALK SALE JOHNSON’S FURNITURE Corner Eatt & Doris Sts. - Culpeper, Vo.

Complete instructions concerning the pledging of pye-tissue donations are available from Old Dominion Eye Bank, 108 North 12th Street, Richmond, Va. 23219. Information and eye-donor pledge cards are also available from any member of a Lions 21ub. Farm Records By Microfilming “Every producer knows that records on program participation, payments and other ASCS records that pertain to his farm are an essential part of farming operations,” said Chairman H. S. Barksdale of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation (ASC) County Committee, “but many probably don’t know that their records are microfilmed as an extra precaution against loss or damage.” The State ASCS Office in Richmond works with county offices in recording farm record cards and other records of program participation. ’"Hiis is planned mainly as a security measure, and to safeguard these records. After all while such incidents rarely happen, the building where an office is housed can occasionally be ravaged by fire, and even floodwaters have severely damaged records on occasion, even though we have excellent storage facilities,” Chairman Barksdale continued. “So we take the same steps that a bank does, when they microfilm checks and similar records when they come through for payment.” In Virginia the annual microfilming requires approximately 94,000 film exposures. The operation is carried out at the State Office. “The microfilming is done quickly, and a representative from the county ASCS office stays with the records throughout the entire process until the records are returned to the county. It takes only a few hours, usually less than a full day,” the Chairman continued. He said the filmed records are stored outside the county office, where they are always available in case they are needed. Comm. Favors Gun Law Change The 10 man Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries unanimously passed a resolution at their meeting in Richmond June 20 supporting Senate Bill 845 and like measures which would remove most, if not all, of the restrictions on the purchase of sporting ammunition, reports Commission Executive Director Chester F. Phelps. Commissioner J. C. Aaron of Martinsville who proposed the resolution said that the present system requiring recording the type of ammunition, plus name, address, date of birth and driver’s license or other identification was an unwarranted inconvenience to sportsmen and a farce as a crime prevention measure. A large number of congressmen apparently agree with him as evidenced by 35 senators who have agreed to co-sponsor S. 845 and the introduction of some 50 SEE US FOR CHRYSLER - PLYMOUTH INTERNATIONAL RUSSELL BROS., INC. U. S. HIGHWAY 522 FLINT HILL, VA. PHONE 675-3646 House bills which would accomplish the same thing. Senator Mike Mansfield of Montana has labeled the complicated regulations as “back-door registration” going far beyond the intent of Congress. Representative Durward Hall of Missouri termed the present regulations a “bureaucratic monster” and indicated that they were a slap in the face to congressmen who voted for the mild-sounding measure but against bills to require gun registration. On introducing S. 845,, Senator Bennett said, “our purpose is to remove an ineffectual and burdensome set of regulations imposed upon American sportsmen ... To force this kind of registration upon persons who buy rifle, shotgun and .22 caliber rimfire ammunition is not going to affect the incidence of crime.” Under the law passed last October, a sportsman must furnish the dealer with his name, address, date of birth and a driver’s license or other identification. The dealer must record this, plus the date, manufacturer of the ammunition, caliber or gauge and the quantity? On the basis of this information, it is up to the dealer to determine if the purchaser is a criminal, drug addict, mental incompetent^ luvenile, or other personprohibited by law from obtaining ammunition. 11)0 procedure is so slow and cumbersome that many small stores have quit handling ammunition, according to the National Shooting Sports Foundation. Many feel that such records, if they were organized and filed, would constitute registration of gun owners and the type of weapons they own.

Security Notes Medicare benefits are payable at 65 even if a person continues to work full time and is not collecting his social security benefits “People nearing 65, whether or not they plan to retire, should visit the social security office at 20 South Cameron Street,” Mrs. Hazel F. Crumpton, social security district manager, said today. It is important, she noted, to apply during the 3 months before you turn 65 to be sure that your Medicare protection will begin as soon as you reach 35. Otherwise, you may lose coverage of some of your medical bills. Mrs. Crumpton explained that Medicare is divided into two narts. “One part is hospital insurance,” she said. “This is paid from social security contributions nade during your working ifetime. Virtually every employed person now reaching 35 is eligible for and has paid for lospital insurance protection. \nd if a worker is eligible, so is lis wife at age 65. This part of Medicare helps pay or your care in a hospital and for certain kinds of care you may leed after you leave the hospital. “But that is only half of the dedicare story,” she continued. ‘The other half is the upplementary medical insurance hat helps pay doctors’ and urg eons’ bills and a wide variety >f other medical expenses. You >ay half the cost of the Medical nsuranee through a premium of 34 a month. The government >ays the other half. It is >articularly important that you ipply for your medical insurance coverage before you reach 65 since this is a voluntary program with limited enrollment periods,” Said Mrs. Crumpton. Mrs. Crumpton said doctor bills were the main medical expense covered by this insurance. However, she added, medical insurance under Medicare covers many other medical services and supplies. These range from home health care visits to ambulance service and the rental or purchase of durable medical equipment.

Tax Assessment Discourage Farmers Tax assessment policies of many state and communities are driving agriculture out of business in many areas of the country, according to Tom Frost, Member of the Virginia House of Delegates. Frost, chairman of the Agriculture Committee of the Virginia House, spoke to the Agriculture Committee, Southerr Conference, Council of State Government in Mobile, Alabama on July 29, on Recent Trends ir Agricultural Land Assessment anc Taxation. Referring to a comprehensive study on land assessmenl conducted in Virginia last year Frost said, “Some farms were paying more in taxes than returr from the property. “Attention needs to be directed to the fact that agriculture is a basic industry in a community providing an economic base money in the banks, jobs, an escape from concrete and blacktop, and a beautiful countryside,” Frost said. “Fairfax County,” Frost said, “gives a classic example of farm taxes going wild in the W• Can Supply AU Your [MILMWCNIEDSl CULPEPER BUILDING & SUPPLY CORP. Pl»o»e VA5-8383 Culpeper, Vi rurai-uruan mnge. in xaox, Fairfax was one of Virginia’s strong agricultural counties, with 1800 farms on 128,000 acres. Her rolling hills and green fields, livestock and dairy farms were a source of beauty to most of the people who saw her.” Today, Fairfax has less than 30,000 acres of farmland and almost no dairy farms. Frost estimated only about 30,000 of the 90,000 acres retired from farm use was needed for industrial, commercial and residential developments. “The rest,” he said, “has been absorbed in urban sprawl through investment speculations, which all too often has provided an unsightly countryside where the county has had to build highways and supply water and sewer systems, electric utilities, and schools to serve the needs of a “leapfrog” development.” Frost pointed out that the real estate tax on eight typical Fairfax farms has increased from an average of 68 cents per acre to nearly $30 per acre since 1950. ' “Tax assessment policies also frequently penalize the land owner who attempts to improve his timber stands and favors thei one who lets his land grow up in less desirable trees and non-productive brush,” he added. “Tax incentives will become increasingly necessary throughout wwvvvwwwvxxxvxvvv COMPLETE ONE-STOP Building Supply Hardware Paint Millwork Lumber Warrenton Building Material Co., Inc.

Local Population Younger than Before A change has been taking place in the Rappahannock County population. It has stopped getting younger. Back in 1960, for every local resident who was older than 28.9 years, there was one who was younger. That was the median age locally, as determined by the 1960 Census. Also, it was found, the median ige was moving downward, year by year, which meant that the population as a whole was getting younger. It continued falling through 1967, when it reached its lowest point, 27.2 years, where it stands it the present time, according to the latest figures. In the rest of the United States, sy way of comparison, Census Bureau figures indicate a median ige of 27.4 and, in the State of Virginia, 25.5. The major reason given for the itandstilj in the median age is the ow birth rate that prevails. There las been a drastic shift, locally ind elsewhere, in the :hild-bearing patterns of the nodem woman. The trend is toward smaller families. The Population Reference Bureau attributes this, in part, ‘to a realization by younger narried couples that rearing children in this complicated and •xpensive world presents big >roblems.” As a result, American women }f child-bearing age now have 20 percent fewer children under the ige of five living with them than the nation if we are to control urban sprawl and foster orderly community development,” Frost said. 2 and 3-Bedroom MOBILE HOMES Immediate financing - No down payment with approved credit. 7 years financing, low payments.

It uses the unromantic but scientific term “fertility ratio” in describing its findings. The ratio shows how many children there are, under five, for every 1,000 women within the normal child-bearing ages -15 to 49. Based on the general trend since 1960, as determined by a national sampling survey, the ratio in Rappahannock County at the present time is approximately 366 such children per 1,000 women, considerably lower than 1960’s 458. It compares favorably, however, with the ratios in many areas of the country. Some of them are as low as 100. The report notes that the data ’’does not show the extent to which the pill and other relatively new techniques of family planning are responsible for the substantial decline in fertility, but they undoubtedly have been a contributing factor.” Thank You Note We wish to extend our sincere appreciation to all for the cards, flowers, visits and numerous acts of kindness extended us during the illness and death of our dear wife and mother, Mrs. Bertha Hackley.

The spring of 1969 will be remembered for many years by beekeepers as the year bees really made honey. J. M. Amos, Extension bee specialist at Virginia Tech said this year’s honey crop appears to be the best he has seen in 20 years. “Many older beekeepers say it was the best tulip poplar honey flow that they have ever seen,” Amos said. Tulip poplar is the deep red, full-flavored honey. In some areas black locust have failed to yield nectar because of the poor weather that usually comes when it is in bloom. Locust honey is white and midly flavored. In eastern Virginia the flow from locust was not so good but in the western part of the state it was the best in many years, with 30 to 40 pounds being reported. With trees yielding nectar so well during the early honey flow and showers prevailing in the Piedmont area, beekeepers were looking forward to a good flow of nectar from sourwood. Some think it is making honey in the Appomattox-Brookneal area and other beekeepers have a poor flow. The white, delicately -flavored sourwood honey is the H. L. BORDEN LUMBER CO.
