H. L. Manwaring Conservation Rep. H. Laurence Manwaring has been appointed by the Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District to represent Rappahannock County. Mr. Manwaring owns and operates an 1100 acre farm near Woodville, Va., where he raises Hereford and Charolais cattle.

In 1963 the Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District presented Mr. Manwaring with its Certificate of Award “In recognition of Outstanding Achievements in Soil and Water Conservation”. The primary purpose of the Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District is to provide citizens with a voice in determining how their natural resources will be used. Members serve without pay. Economic Data In recent years the agricultural work force in Rappahannock County has shown a significant decrease. In 1940 agricultural employment in Rappahannock amounted to 1,346 individuals; in 1950 it had dropped to 1,090 persons; and by 1960 it was only 660. In other words, the farmer at the beginning of this decade found himself competing for a work force that approached only 49% of that for which he competed in 1940. In 1960 Rappahannock County had 1,287 families within its borders. These families had a median income of $2,903. Fifty-one and eight-tenths percent of all these families had incomes of under $3,000. In 1960 the average number of school years completed by every adult in Rappahannock County was seven years.

Indeed, the winner of this race, whoever he may be, will be guaranteed considerable stature within the inner circles of Virginia politics. Both candidates, Tom Frost, a Democrat, and Preston Pulliam, a Republican, are residents of Warrenton, Virginia. Mr. Pulliam is a native of Woodville, Virginia in Rappahannock County. The Frost-Pulliam race is shaping up as one of the key election contests in Virginia this fall. Tom Frost, who has been a member of the House of Delegates since 1952, is currently chairman of the House Agriculture Committee and a member of the Rules Committee. He is in line, if re-elected to be the chairman of the Appropriations Committee, which approves and recommends appropriations to the House of Delegates for the operation and capital outlays of all state agencies, institutions and programs. The chairman of this committee is said to be second in power only to the Speaker within the House of Delegates. Needless to say, the defeat of Tom Frost in November would result in a considerable re-allocation of power in the General Assembly. Consequently the election is attracting considerable attention throughout the state. R. Preston Pulliam, the Republican candidate, has had a long and successful career in the insurance business. He is a member of the President’s Council, New York Life Insurance Company; and a member of the Million Dollai Roundtable of the National Association of Life Underwriters: a member of the Estate and Planning Council of Washington, D. C. and a member of the Fauquier Chapter of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. Mr. Pulliam, who can be described as an effective campaigner, has stated that he feels it is time to bring the two party system to Virginia. The 1969 platform of the Republican Party of Virginia, upon which Mr. Pulliam is campaigning, calls for the elimination of non judicial appointments by state judges, better public education, mental health facilities, a state civil serivce system, roads, legislative processes, and a host of other measures. There is little doubt that, if Mr. Pulliam were to defeat Woodlands Make Poor Pasture “Woodlands make pool pasture” says Forester William C, Vemam of the Virginia Division of Forestry. Cattle and trees are similar to alcohol and driving, they don’t go together. Grazing livestock severely bark and wound the roots and trunks of trees at or near ground level opening the way for insect and disease attack. Rot and othei types of defect are the result with the butt log, the most valuable part of the tree for lumber usually being a total loss when the tree is harvested at maturity Grazing animals also browse and trample young seedlings, the forest of the future. Seedling! that are not killed outright by the animals become deformed anc develop into low value tree! producing low value product! when harvested. Research shows that 9 acres 01 more of woodland are needed U support one cow while 2 acres ol improved pasture can do the sam< job only much better. Trees anc grazing animals do not gc together. To get the maximum retun from both livestock and trees Forester Vemam recommend fencing woodland tracts tc protect them from grazing Federal cost sharing assistance k available to landowners interestec in fencing their woodlandi through the Rappahannocl County Agriculture Conservatioi Program. Landowners interestec in cost sharing assistance on i woodland fencing project shoulc contact Mr. James W. Coates a the ASC Office in Washington Virginia and sign up for the fencing practice under Forestry Practice B-10 Improving a Stanc of Forest Trees. Fence now fo benefit of cattle and woodlandi 5S mr. rrosi in iNovemoer, ne wouia be regarded as a political “giant killer” within the inner circles of Virginia politics. Tom Frost, who is private life has established himself as a successful businessman in Warrenton, has also served on the Virginia Advisory Legislative Council, which is composed of influential leaders from the Senate and House of Delegates. The Council studies state problems and issues which require legislative attention and makes recommendations to the Governor and General Assembly. Needless to say, one of Mr. Frost’s principal themes in the coming campaign will be “experience” and the need for a legislator who can “get things done” in Richmond. The outcome of the coming Frost-Pulliam contest for the House of Delegates will be of utmost importance to all residents of Rappahannock, Fauquier and Warren counties. It will also, however, be of interest to all Virginia citizens; for the results of this race will have a great effect upon the balance of power within the state legislature. We should all make every effort possible to weigh all the factors in making our decision concerning this contest, which will probably be the most important of all elections for the Virginia House of Delegates this fall. Keep in Touch, Says ASC Chrm. Responsibility often rests with the farmer to notify his county Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service county office of changes in his farm plans and operations. This reminder came today from Chairman H. S. Barksdale. “The county ASCS office needs to know, for instance, if your allotment crop is destroyed by weather and you plan to plant a different crop, if your practice under the Agricultural Conservation Program will be delayed beyond the completion time, if you are in any of the programs administered by ASCS and you buy or sell or lease farmlands,” said the ASC committee chairman. “Most farmers know they should notify the county ASCS office about such matters,” he added, “but sometimes in the midst of a busy time they forget. He pointed out that it is not usually necessary to visit the county ASCS office in person. “Often a phone call or a short letter is all that’s necessary. Then, if the county ASCS office people find more information is needed, they will let the farmer know.” “Of course, visitors to the ASCS office are always welcome,” he said. “Not only do we find it easier to keep the records straight for the farmer who comes in, but we also keep ourselves better infomed. about the entire agricultural picture.” Washington Methodist Plans Revival Revival services will be held at the Washington United Methodist Church from August 10 to 15. Services will begin each night at 8 p.m. and special music will be provided. The Rev. Jerry Campbell will be the speaker for the services.

Secondary Road Budget; Hear Many Reports Much discussion resulted in little direct action by the members of the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors at the regular August meeting held Friday. Among subjects touched upon were dumping facilities obsolete school buildings, Sperryville disposal system, boundary markers, all of which have been under discussion on previous occasions. Direct action was taken on the secondary road budget as presented by Resident Engineer James S. Skeens. The budget for the 1969-70 fiscal year totaled $300,108. This is a modest increase over the past year’s funds, however, with salaries up 5% and material costs rising continuously, the increase will be swallowed up. Mr. Skeens reported that Rappahannock County has 220 miles of secondary roads with 72 miles of these hard surfaced. All others have some degree of stabilizing surface. In the budget, a balance is maintained with regard to new surfacing and maintenance. A discussion on the dumpster units in the county revealed that 50% of the trash put in them was burnable and could be disposed of at home, and that half of the trash dumped in the county is put in the units at Sperryville units. An additional unit was scheduled to be placed in Flint Hill. The public is urged to use the dumping facilities properly. H . L. Manwaring, Rappahannock’s representative with the Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District, was present to introduce David Poe, Soil Conservationist of this district, to the Supervisors. He stated that any time conservation needs became apparent in the county, they were available for consultation. Jaycee members Netus Brown and Garfield Burke were present to discuss the razing of the Sperryville school building -at • project for their organization. Mrs. Betty Coates and Col. Norman Wilbur were asked to serve on a committee regarding this. A report from the Dog Warden, Jack Bruce, showed a total of 33 stray dogs picked up in the month of July. He stated that German Shepherds and half bred dogs are becoming a nuisance. At a previous meeting, Supervisor Luttrell said he felt that the markers provided for the county boundary were insufficient and the subject was pursued through Judge R. V. Snead. A report Friday showed that Judge Snead did not have any jurisdiction in the matter so Commonwealth’s Attorney G. H. Davis Jr. was requested to contact the Bartenstein surveying firm which had handled the boundary survey. A grant and loan are available for a water and sewer authority in Sperryville. The State Water Control Board has alerted the county to the serious pollution problem in the Sperryville area where raw sewage is drained directly into the river there. The state board has requested action which can be taken more conservatively by establishing a proper authority now and using the grant and loan rather than to leave it and be forced into action later by the State Board. The Board authorized the payment of civil warrant costs for delinquent tax cases on which the treasurer wishes to take action. Current bills were approved for payment before adjournment. Godwin Notes Budget Surplus In a statement issued Monday, August 4, Governor Mills E. Godwin noted that the state of Virginia has ended the first year of the 1968-70 biennium with an unobligated surplus of $25.5 million. Godwin cited figures showing a balance of $44 million as of July 1 of this year Because of the fact that Virginia operates on a two year fiscal period the surplus figure could prove to be a fantasy. Godwin, however, stated that he hoped the 3.7 percent growth rate in collections would continue through next year. - If the growth rate continues the state could wind up the biennium with a surplus of $52 million more than was originally estimated. The original estimate was regarded as liberal by administration spokesmen. A large portion of the gain in state revenue came from personal income taxes and the 3 percent state sales and use tax. Godwin noted that the state cannot exempt food and (Continue on page 6) Thaw young ladies arc competing for the title of AmiriUe Carnival Queen, 1969 and are Debbie Martin, Nancy Sheffield, Carolyn Glaacock, Cheryl Poling and Nancy Smith.

Phone 825-2361 Ambulance Service With Oxygen Return from Alaska and West Coast Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Latham, son Cliff, Mrs. A. C. Latham of Amissville and Mrs. Harold Carder of Culpeper have returned from a trip to Alaska and California. Leaving Dulles Airport by plane they went first to Anchorage, Alaska where they were guests of Lieut, and Mrs. Robert Armentrout at Elmandorf Air Force Base. After a couple days of sightseeing including “Portage Glacier” and the huge icebergs there, also “Earthquake Park” which was just as the 1964 quake had left it, (with the exception of the removal of buildings and debris) Mrs. A. C. Latham and Mrs. Harold Carder flew to San Francisco where they were met by and visited with, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Smiley and son Bob of Oakland before going on to Yuba City where they spent some time with Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Anderson and family, Mr. and Mrs. D. G. Foster and family and Mr. Aubrey Anderson, Mrs. Latham’s brother who will celebrate his 93rd birthday in December. Mr. Anderson, whose health is much improved after a slight stroke in the early spring went with them to his ranch near Maxwell, also visited the cemetery where Mrs. Anderson was buried and another where Mr. Phil Latham was laid to rest. While in Yuba City they were entertained at several family picnic dinners, also did sightseeing at Lake Tahoe, Donner Lake, Reno, Nevada and Virginia City. In Virginia City they learned from a shopkeeper how it came to be called “Virginia City” - an old man who had been drinking heavily and was quite unsteady, fell and broke his bottle. As he got up he said, “ I christen thee Virginia.” The following week the J. R. Latham family came down from Alaska and were met in San Francisco and entertained by the Smiley’s. Following some sightseeing they drove to Yuba City the next day and another family get-together picnic was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. D. G. Foster with the Latham’s going later to the J. W. Anderson home. Before leaving California they visited other cousins, Mr. and Mrs. Craig Howard and family and Miss Marilyn Smiley in San Jose and were entertained at dinner, having first gone to see Santa Cruz Beach, which is called the “Virginia Beach” of California, and also the “Big Trees” in the Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park. Some of these trees are said to have been there before the birth of Christ. One specimen was 246 feet tall with no limbs for the first 133 feet. Leaving San Francisco on Thursday, July 24 at 10 a.m. Pacific Time they landed at Dulles at 5:30 p.m., E.D.T. where they were met by Mr. and Mrs. W. L.

Brown On June 14 we began our trip out West, after a sleepless night of anticipation. We left our home in F. T. Valley, at 10 o’clock that morning and arrived at the Dulles International Airport at Chantilly, Virginia, at 11:35 km. All three of our daughters accompanied us to the airport. Our daughter, Elizabeth and her husband, as well as our grandson, Joey Jones, flew to Denver with us. We hurriedly signed in at the United Airlines desk, although we had arrived at the airport more than an hour before departure time. Inside the lobby was a mob of people milling around. Even though the five of us were laden down with film and four cameras, we bought several rolls of film in the gift shop. Amid words of farewell, waving arms, and flashing cameras, we boarded the Mobil Lounger from Gate 10. We were busily scrambling for seats when a familiar voice called to us. aome oi our uiscnci mends naa come to bid us a safe journey. In a flash of an eye, the co-pilot and a security officer were skillfully strapping me in the chair lift and I was taken aboard the Boeing 7 07 United Whisperjet. Our grandson eagerly seated himself by the window. My wife and daughter were seated nearby and my son-in-law, our right-hand man, made certain all seat belts were securely fastened. The “fasten your seat belts,” and “no smoking” signs were suddenly not lit up. We were airborne. The senior stewardess came out of the cockpit and headed to the buffet section. The other three stewardesses were busily going through the oxygen mask routine, after checking each passenger for seat belts. Outside, we could see what looked like a blanket of marshmallows piled high. The stewardess asked for drink orders and answered many questions along the aisles; such as, How fast are we going” “How high are we flying”, And then, “When do we eat”. They managed to satisfy everyone and matched the right people with the right drinks. Our captain’s voice sounded over the audio system, “You’re flying at 37,000 feet, and from our radio contact, we’re told there’s a storm ahead, so keep your seat belts fastened. Looks like we’re in somebody else’s skies.” United Airlines slogan is “Friendly Skies of United”. In their professional role of commander of a giant commejptial aircraft, they’re fine expert professionals performing a very responsible job. We hit a pocket of severe turbulence and the aircraft descended a few hundred feet. Then we were traveling smoothly, and we inhaled a free breath. Everyone gradually had his meal tray in front of him and enjoyed a full course dinner. We were pleasantly surprised when the senior stewardess announced each passenger would participate in playing games. All were given balloons and a prize was awarded twice, once to the child and again to the adult blowing the biggest balloon. It was a lot of fun, but we didn’t come away with a prize. Our first flight together was a bit less than perfect, and after two hours and 45 minutes, we were inside the Denver Stapelton International Airport. Our son, Maury, Jr., his wife, Marilyn, and their two children, met us at the airport. We had another first, the ride in Maury’s camper to their home in Douglass Valley on the grounds of the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. It was a memorable trip, and shortly we settled down in their dining room to a delicious rainbow trout dinner which our son charcoaled outside on the patio grill. It was overcast Sunday morning and we attended the 11 o’clock worship services in the Protestant Cadet Chapel. The services were solemn and impressive. The air outside, and the quiet it offered, were welcome. In the afternoon, we gathered beautiful wild flowers which lay in abundance on the rolling terrain of the Academy grounds. Later, we enjoyed the movies our son Maury had made on their numerous skiing trips to Vail, Colorado, last winter. Sunday night, we were treated to a delicious ring neck pheasant Maury had killed last Fall on a hunting trip in the southern part of the State. Afterward, we drove to a small community known as Manitou Springs and joined in to “hiss and boo” the villian in the melodrama, “The Easiest Way.” We were told it never rains in Colorado, but would you believe it rained Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Touring started every day at 8:30 in the morning. It was a rainy Monday when we toured the Academy Field House, and the Visitor Center and began to purchase souvenirs. We shopped In downtown Colorado Springs Monday night. It was already raining Tuesday when we awoke so we set out to do more shopping and souvenir buying. rhat night we saw the Air Force Dhapei in all its beauty. Words »nnot describe its beauty. The iVotestant Chapel organ presents >ne of the most magnificent iispiays of pipework in the xmntry. Next morning came cool and rainy. After breakfast, we drove to the Garden of the Gods, a beautiful, magnificent site of an innual Easter Sunrise Service, rhe red and white sandstone Form fantastic figures that rise as tiigh as 300 feet. The grounds were exquisite. There is plenty of fascination here. Thursday, we heard, was a typical Colorado day. The sun shone brightly, and by 8 a.m. we were on the highway to Cripple Creek. Just one mile northeast of Cripple Creek, we viewed the Mollie Kathleen Gold Mine, the greatest gold camp in the world, in colorful Cripple Creek, the old time buildings and atmosphere of the last century still prevail. Outside the small mining district is Mount Pisgah, 10,400 feet high. We drove above the timber line up a straight and narrow roadway. It was in Cripple Creek that we began to collect “gold samples.” Long before noon of this sunny Friday, our grandson, Mike, was assembling his Little League uniform for his role as Twins pitcher. Our grandson, Joey, a former Virginia Beach Little Leaguer, assisted with the score. That night we thrilled to a real honest-to-goodness western treat at the Famous Flying W Ranch in Colorado Springs. The chuckwagon suppers, started in 1953 with a crowd being not more than 20 people and most of them were cowboys. Today the shelter can seat many more and when the weather is clear the serving is out of doors. This night, the 1200 people present were served in 19 minutes. The Flying W is an actual working cattle and horse ranch, just north pf Colorado Springs, in the heart of the West. On this clear, moonlit evening, the boys returning to Fort Carson from Vietnam were honored with a welcome speech by Governor Love of Colorado. The Famous Flying W Wranglers and the Authentic Indian Dancers provided an evening of good entertainment for all. This was a day we had particularly looked forward to and we were on the highway by 8 o’clock. It was midmorning when we stopped at a roadside park and prepared breakfast in the camper. It was very hot that day when we arrived at the world famous Royal Gorge and crossed the Hanging Bridge, 1053 feet above the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad tracks and the Arkansas River. We tried to digest the surrounding beauty, and collected more “gold”. Outside Royal Gorge, we stopped at the movie set location of “Cat Ballou”. We proceeded west along the Arkansas River, heading towards the Continental Divide over Monarch Pass and toward Canon City, site of the State Penitentiary on Westward Highway 50. Late in the afternoon, we had a picnic supper alongside the Arkansas River (pronounced Ar-Kan-Sas). It was 9 o’clock when we reached Colorado Springs. In the chilly early morning sunlight someone remarked it should be a pleasant drive to the Denver Airport, where our daughter, Elizabeth, and husband, Don, were to board United to return to Dulles.

I am inclined to say an emphatic YES. At this time last week I was wondering what would be the result of a pending medical procedure. I had requested the prayers of my pastor and friends, now it was in the hands of God. I asked my loved one not to leave me. She told me not to worry, that I would be all right. That I would not be lonely. Later, I wonder if I tried to meddle into the affairs of the Almighty. Through tears, I watched the increasing pallor of her face, felt her hand growing colder in my own. Deep down in my heart 1 rebelled with an unspoken; “Oh God, NO.” The color of her face changed, her hand lost its unnatural coldness. He gave her back to me. But, what have I done? Have I altered my Karma, have I decreased my manifestation on this plane, if I have SO MOTE IT BE. I —■ — —, --- Amissville Area News and Personals Mr. and Mrs. G. M.

Hanna, Director of the Virginia Highway Safety Division, called attention today to three types of dangers presented often by users of the Virginia sections. “The driver should pick his lane and stay in it,he said. Weaving from lane to lane is extremely dangerous on high speed expressways.” He added that generally one should keep to the right but if slowed excessively should move to another, since the right lane is usually for slower moving traffic. “Never slow or stop except in the case of a major emergency,” he continued. Rear end collisions are the biggest killers on the Interstate. Mr. Hanna explained that if an emergency arises, one should signal a right turn before decelerating and drive completely off the road. He also advised that if an exit is inadvertently missed the driver should not hesitate but should go on to the next one, no matter how inconvenient. If confused, one should leave the Interstate ai the nearest exit or rest stop and review the situation. Hitchhiking, he felt, presents danger not only to the pedestrian but to motorists. A car slowing or stopped to pick up a walker can be rammed from behind with serious results. He added that hitchhiking on the Interstate in Virginia is illegal. Concluding, Mr. Hanna said that while expressways have reduced crashes, those that do occur on them are all too often fatal, involving several cars telescoped in rear-end collisions. jcL i USE D CHOP PE RS OR Forage Harvesters John Deere No. 8 — P.T.O., late model, flywheel type, with corn head, cutter bar & pickup, Was? 1300 Now $675.00 Gehl PTO, with corn head, overhauled $600.00 Pox Industrial 1000 r.p.m. PTO, 2-row corn head, You have to try to appreciate!

Religious Drama At Vesper Service The Sunset Vesper Association is pleased to announce that the program for Sunday, August 10, will be presented by a Religious Drama Group. As for all Sunset Vesper Services, the setting will be thylawn of the Luray Singing Tower, and will be preceeded by a half hour carillon recital by Carillonneur, Charles Chapman. TTie recital begins at 7:30 p.m. with the Vesper service at 8:00 p.m. The service Sunday night is a departure from the usual speaker-choir program, and promises to be a refreshing and stimulating means of communicating God’s good-news to all present. The first presentation, “Dust of the Road”, is a dramatization of the old legend that Judas is allowed to return to earth once a year to plead with someone tempted to betray friendship. The second is a drama depicting the age old, struggle of man against man, race against race, and nation against nation. It is entitled, “Even the Hater”, and written by Albert Johnson. The evening service will conclude with selected readings from “For Heaven’s Sake”, by Helen Koemer. All persons in the area are :ordially invited to attend Sunset Vespers.
