Consumer Debt $920 Per Family Locally As is the ease in most parts of the country, residents of Rappahannock County are carrying more instalment debt than ever before They have been using the bast amount of credit available to them to buy more cars, furniture, refrigerators, washing machines and other costly goods. It is part and parcel of the change in buying habits that has been in evidence for a number of years. Gradually, the nation has switched from a cash economy to a credit economy. As of the middle of this year, according to the findings of the Federal Reserve Hoard, instalment debt in the United States reached $93.09 billion, or $9.65 billion more than it was on June 30, 1968. It was equivalent to $1,525 per family. In some sections of the country, the debt level was much higher than in others. It was especially low in farm areas. The amount of instalment debt in Rappahannock County, on the basis of the Federal Reserve report and other surveys, is estimated at $920 per family. That is the mathematical average. Some families have no debt at all so that, among those that do, the average is somewhat higher. The total amount of instalment debt carried by residents of Rappahannock County was approximately $1,287,000 at midyear This includes the money they owed on personal loans and on home repair and modernization loans, as well as the debt they incurred for consumer goods bought on time. Not included are (Continued on Page 2) Officers Investigate Stolen Truck, Abandoned Car, Stripped Camaro And Several Traffic Crashes A 1969 GMC '/2-ton truck was stolen between 9:30 p.m. Tuesday night and 1 a.m. Wednesday morning from the farm of Dabney Eastham at Huntly. The truck is maroon with green cattle racks, according to Trooper K. L. Miller who is investigating. A 1969 Ford LTD with no license was found at Huntly on Route 664 near the Eastham farm Wednesday morning. Apparently the operator of the Ford was turning around on that road and backed up on the porch of an old building and got the vehicle hung and immobile, so the Eastham truck was taken. Trooper Miller said a F"ord LTD had been stolen from Woodstock Tuesday night and he would secure identification numbers to see if it is the same car. A 1968 Chevrolet Camaro sport coupe which had been stripped was discovered in a field in an area behind the local high school Tuesday morning. Investigation by Trooper J. B. Willis and Sheriff C. K. Estes turned up some of the missing parts however, the investigation is not complete. It was disclosed that the vehicle was stolen from Ector Chevrolet, Inc. in Leesburg, Va. where it had been left for repair. It was owned bv Merman H. Jones of Red Oak, Details Announced On 1970 Wheat Plan All 1970-crop wheat allotment notices for farms in Rappahannock County are in the mail and most producers should now have received them, Chairman M. S. Barksdale announced today. The Rappahannock County’s allotment of 620 acres was allocated among 71 wheat farms, he said. A 16 acre reserve* has been kept for possible corrections and adjustments. In addition to receiving allotment notices, wheat producers have* been provided basic information on the 1970 wheat program, the ASC Chairman said This includes notice that 1. The national average price support loan level will lx* $1 25 per bushel, unchanged from recent years. (County and terminal price-support rates, reflecting the national average loan rate* usually are announced the following April They may vary from the preceding year because of changes in freight rates and price relationships among terminals as well as othep adjustments 'I’he price support rate in Rappahannock County for 1969 wheat is 1.3*1) 2.

The investigation continues in conjunction with State Police in Loudoun County. Two single vehicle traffic crashes were investigated during the weekend by Trooper W. A. Buntin; one on Friday and one Sunday. On September 12 at 10:30 a.m. on Route 601 near Slate Mills, a 1969 Chevrolet van turned over down an embankment. Billy William Fincham of Boston was the driver who ran off the right of the road and overturned. E. A Willis, also of Boston, a passenger in the vehicle, was taken to Culpeper Memorial Hospital then transferred to Charlottesville with a broken leg. A mile east of Sperryville on Route 522 Sunday evening, Hudson Cline Harlin of Culpeper ran off the right of the road and down the bank. He was operating a 68 Mercury .

RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At Washington, Rappahannock County, Va. Telephone: WASHINGTON 675-3349 MRS. SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Entered as 2nd Class Mail at the P. O. at Washington, Va. Subscriptions (inadvance) $3.00 in Rappahannock and adjacent counties; $3.50 East coast; $4.00 mid-west; $4.50 Weal. Letter To Citizens of Rappahannock: After the unfortunate events of six weeks ago, I was forced to close the Rappahannock IGA for a week in order to plan my course of action. I returned to Rappahannock to turn the business over to the grocery company for auction. When I arrived, many people came to me and pleaded with me to remain and keep the store in operation. They expressed the feeling that the county needed the store and the services provided by it. I was most encouraged and reopened with the promise of county support and backing. Now I am compelled to make another decision concerning the future of,the Rappahannock IGA due to the lack of support from county residents. I do not have the customer backing that the; previous management enjoyed. I have tried my utmost to improve the appearance of the store and, more importantly, the! quality of our products. I have strived to provide fast competent, friendly service. Some price increases have been necessary to meet rising manufacturers costs. As this is true in most areas, I continue to provide my customers with more quality products for less money. I will attempt to pass savings along 10 my customers whenever possible. To set the record straight, the ., >ppahannock IGA is owned and operated solely by me. All connections with the former management have been severed. I have done all I can. It is now ■i p to the people of Rappahannock whether the IGA remains open or ceases to operate. Without more support from county citizens, I must close. The decision is up to you. I wish to take this opportunity to thank my faithful customers for their help and support during my period of adjustment. I sincerely hope I can continue to serve you. Georgia W. Sophia From The Book Illl “And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them” (Eph. 5:11) The Christian life is to be a light in a world of darkness. Darkness refers to the evil that exists in various forms from the sensual indulgences to robbery to murder to idolatry. The Christian faith has been the great restraining influence to check these practices. The question is: Does my life add to the light or does it increase the darkness? We cannot be neutral. Jesus said, “He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad ” (Matt. 12:30) “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” (Matt. 5:16) James W. Adkins Letter To Editor The Editor Rappahannock News Your readers may be interested in specific details regarding the secret conduct of their public business in the General Assembly. The General Assembly has one of the most modem voting machines that can be found anywhere in the county. Electronic boards are on either side of the House where a recorded vote can be had in a matter of seconds. Unfortunately, the machine is not used except on final passage (Final Reading) of a Bill, or when 20*7 of those members present request it (Constitution of Virginia). In other instances, the vote is taken either by voice or a show of hands. The critical stage of a Bill is in its Secohd Reading (not final passage) when amendments are offered and possible alternatives suggested. This is the point where Republicans want a recorded vote. But because we have only 14 Republican Delegates out of 100, they are not strong enough to meet the 20^ rule. As far as I am able to determine, every Republican Delegate has supported every request for a recorded vote on the grounds that the public’s business should be public at all stages of the legislative process. Let me assure your readers that, after November, we shall be strong enough to overthrow this obsession with secrecy by demanding that every vote taken in the General Assembly be recorded. The passage of a bill is not the only place where secrecy prevails in the General Assembly. There is no record of the minutes of any committee meetings • open or closed. There is no record of arguments or debates. The only recent exception occurred during the hearings on revision of the Constitution because of their historical importance. This obsession with secrecy even extends to routine matters. In a recent session, a Republican Delegate proposed a little Bill requiring outside rear view mirrors on all autos licensed in Virginia. After he explained the Bill to the Roads Committee, the Chairman promptly excused the public including the Delegate who proposed the Bill, closed the doors, and had a secret discussion and vote. Obviously, the measure was too earth shattering to be considered in public. After November, we are going to demand that all committee hearings, with the possible exception of those involving personnel, be public. In view of all this sham and hypocrisy, I renew my charge that one-party politics has made the General Assembly a rubber stamp factory with a country club front. Its high purpose should be something more than a bad excuse to leave home. My authority for this statement of condition in the General Assembly is based on extensive discussions over the last three months with Republican Delegates and Senators presently in the General Assembly. Very truly yours, Preston Pulliam Fully Experienced We are fully experienced in all phases of serving fhe bereaved. Qualified assisfance that fulfills every requirement is your assurance when you place your trust in us.

Card Of Thanks We wish to thank our many friends and relatives for the flowers, cards, visits, food and many acts of kindness extended during the long illness and death of Mrs. Ella Deal. Mrs. Deal’s Family Today’s Woman Judy Burtner Extension Agent, Home Economics CORRECT FIT OF A GARMENT Nothing is more important in being attractively and comfortably dressed than having properly fitted clothes. A well fitted garment neither too tight nor too loose. It conforms to the figure and has adequate ease for body movement; its lines are not strained. A Wrinkle is an indication that the garment is either too long, too wide, too short, or too narrow. Wrinkles, however, should not be confused with folds that are a part of the design. Fashion also plays a part in the way the garment fits. The amount of ease or the control of fullness changes the current styles. When you try on a garment, check the following points for a comfortable and attractive fit: 1. Neckline It should fit snugly around the base of the neck, but not tight enough to be uncomfortable, nor loose enough to gap. This is important on low, as well as high necklines. Collars should lie flat and smooth or stand properly as designed. 2. Shoulder Seam Should Fall exactly on top of shoulder 1” behind the lobe of the ear. It cannot be seen from the front or back when shoulder is at eye level. 3. The Armscye Should fall where the arm breaks from the body at back and front, and right on the outer edge of the socket bone at the shoulder. 4. Sleeves Should be full enough to allow movement without binding. The grainline should run straight across the arm at the top of the sleeve. For comfort when bending the arm, the center of the ease allowed in the elbow darts should hit where the elbow bends. This would be the middle dart, if there are 3 darts or halfway between 2 darts or gathers. 5. For Sleeve Length - Short sleeves and 3/4 length sleeves should hit where they are becoming on the arm, and where they will not add width to the bust and hio lines when the elbow is bent. Long sleeves should come to the point where the hand and wrist meet. 6. Bodice Darts Should Stop short (about V2” to 1”) of the point of the bust. Darts on the side of the garment should be in line with the crown of the bust and also stop short. There should be about 4” ease in the garment at the bustline. 7. The Waistline - Should fall at the natural waistline, which is the smallest part of the figure. Garments should be snug enough to stay in place, but not tight enough to bind or distort the garment. 8. Side Seams - Should hang perfectly straight from armhole seam to hemline. If side seams swing to the front, the garment is too tight across the stomach or too large across the back. If they swing to the back, the garment is too tight across the hips or too large across the stomach. If the garment swings to one side, it needs leveling at the waistline. 9. Back Hip Darts - Should stop short of the fullest part of the hips. There should be at least 2” ease at the hipline. 10. Skirt Length ■ Should hang even. It should be a fashionable AUCTION Saturday, September 20th 9:30 a.m. Sharp To settle estate of Mrs. Cleveland W. Compton Located at 501 N. Main Street Culpeper, Virginia 3-pc.

RAPP CHATS Rap Owingt Cxteaaim AfMt, Atrinltin The weeding committee for the Rappahannock Angus Feeder Calf Sale has just wound up its annual inspection tour. Total number of calves consigned to the October 14 sale - 1537 head. By the time pink eye victims are left at home and the graders cull out the VEM cats, guess the final tally left to run through the sale ring will be a shade over 1400. Could be the largest sale we have had. Generally, the calves look good. Good size for age. Majority of producers are alert to changing demands. They have been culling out the small, dumpy, compact cows and trying to use the type of bull that will stretch the calves out and up. Besides picking apples, filling silos and treating calves for pink eye - this is the time of year to seed pastures and hay fields; order barley and wheat seed, and fertilize the front lawn. Recommended Small Grain Varieties: Winter Oats: Norline; Lee Barley: Pennrod; Wong; Jefferson Wheat: Blueboy - the new wonder wheat, if you are prepared to make a heavy top dressing of nitrogen next spring, if not try Redcoat. If you are interested in sprucing up the bluegrass lawn, September is the ideal month for reseeding those thin and bare areas. Also, the best month for top dressing with fertilizer. Fair fertilization promotes strong root growth and applying fertilizer at this season favors the bluegrass in its continual fight with the undesirables, such as crab and wire grass.

Mrs. James Massie, Treasurer, reported that the total amount collected during the 1969 campaign was $1,960.90. Appreciation was expressed by Mrs. Ruth Johnson, Field Representative, to Mrs. Mary Van Brederode and her workers for their efforts in attaining the goal for Rappahannock County. Mr. Russell Cook, Executive Area Director for the Northern Virginia Area, was the guest speaker for the evening. The major points reviewed in detail by Mr. Cook are listed below: (1) How big is the cancer problem today? (2) How big is the American Cancer Society today? (3) How is it organized to figjit cancer on a National, State, and Local level? (4) How much ifluence does it wield in the total cancer-control program? (5) What are some ofthe accomplishments of the Society? (6) How does the Cancer Society’s research program relate to the Federal Government’s National Cancer Institute Research Program? The talk by Mr. Cook proved most informative to the Committee. Meditation For the Week And he told them a parable, to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart. Luke 18:1 An officer once complained to Stonewall Jackson that some soldiers were making a noise in their tent. “What are they doing?” asked the General. “They are praying now, but they have been singing,” was the reply. “And is that a crime?” the General demanded. “The articles of war order punishment for any unusual noise,” was the reply. “God forbid that praying should be an unusual noise in this camp,” replied General Jackson. Prayer: Hear us as we pray, 0 Lord and grant us with Thy peace. Amen Rev. Jerry O.

Holds Open House Local citizens can get a firsthand, inside look at Virginia’s Highway Department operations when the Culpeper district holds open house from 1:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. and from 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. on Monday, September 22. The district engineer, D. B. Hope, announced plans today for the event, to which school pupils and the general public are invited. “Virginia is engaged in the largest road-building program in its history, and we believe that this is an appropriate time to give citizens an opportunity which many of them have not had before to visit a highway office complex,” he said. The district engineer noted that the open house will be held in connection with the ninth observance of National Highway Week. Visitors at the district office will tour the facilities, seeing such major operations as drafting rooms where detailed plans are prepared, shops where highway signs are made, and the laboratories where soils and materials used in construction and maintenance work are tested. In addition, the visitors will get an early preview of the district’s fleet of snow removal equipment, including huge plows, “drift busters” and snow blowers. I'he equipment is being readied for the coming winter. Other highway equipment will also be on display. In addition, maps and photographs will be shown outlining local projects being undertaken and planned as part of Virginia’s nine-year highway improvement program, for which the 1966 General Assembly provided additional revenue. Construction now under way in the district totals $86,277,683.17 in contract value. Visitors at the district headquarters, located in Culpeper on Orange Road (Route 15 South), will have an opportunity to meet personally the district’s officials, and will be given a State highway map and informational pamphlets on the construction program SHOOTING MATCH j FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19th and Every Friday Night until Further Notice Ivy Hill Tea Room Near Sperryville Beginning 7 : 30 p.m. Prize*: Beef, Hama, Turkey*, Oyster* Sponsored by Rappahannock Jaycees 1 2-16-20 ga. guns Heated Building Given Away November 14, 1969: Remington Model 1100 Automatic Shotgun Winchester Model 94, 30*30 Rifle Guests for dinner Sunday of Mr. and Mrs. G.

To meet the regular repayments on this instalment debt takes nearly 16 percent of the net disposable income locally, or close to $75 a month per family. The big question among economists and bankers is whether the American people have taken on more debt than they can carry. Their experience shows that, in general, people have been using credit with discretion and have not gone overboard. Although the debt level has increased considerably over the last few years, incomes have risen more so, keeping things on t sound footing.

Wheat Plan - - (Continued from page 1) the county wheat loan rate times the farm’s projected yield on the extra acreage diverted. 3. Domestic wheat marketing certificates will be available on eligible production of wheat farmers taking part in the program. These certificates will be based on 48 pier cent of the projected production. This compares with 43 per cent in 1969. The per-bushel domestic marketing certificate payments for the 1970-crop may be valued as high or higher than the record $1.52 per bushel being paid this year. Domestic marketing certificates will be issued for about 530 million bushels, the expected domestic food use of wheat for 1970-71. The Chairman stressed that payments under the 1970 wheat program would be subject to any limitations that might be required by Congress. 4. Substitution provisions between feed grains and wheat are being continued for farmers who sign up and participate in both programs. No determination has yet been made on whether barley will be included in 1970 feed grain program; however, required diversion for barley as a condition of substitution will be identical to the qualifying minimum acreage diversion required for feed grain program participation. “In general, provisions of the 1970 wheat program are much the same as those for 1969,” said ASC Committee Chairman Barksdale. “The two objectives are to strengthen the farm price for wheat and to attempt to bring wheat production into line with needs.” “All wheat farmers know that world wheat production has been higher than demand during the last few years, and our sales have slowed. The 12 per cent cut in the national wheat acreage allotment this year should help improve our national position,” he said. Chairman Barksdale pointed out that the 1970 wheat program is entirely voluntary Those who have allotments and sign up in the program will be eligible for price-support loans, domestic marketing certificates, payments for diverting acreage below allotments, and substitution between wheat and feed grains. Running Motor at Gas Sta. Dangerous A warning was issued this week by John T. Hanna, Director of the Virginia Highway Safety Division, and L. C. Kingery of Roanoke, president of the State Association, against running the engines of motor vehicles while their gas tanks were being filled. The safety officials noted that often car owners, whose cars are being filled with gasoline in service stations, keep their motors running in order that they may use the heater or air conditioner. Gasoline vapor settles around the lower part of the car if there is no draft to disperse it or carry it away. The vapor can then come in contact with a hot motor or exhaust pipe and explode violently, causing a fire. Hanna and Kingery both cited the recent increase of such accidents. Their advice was to turn off the ignition immediately upon stopping at the pump and to wait a moment or so before turning it an after the tank is filled. % hub Style L StyU M Styl# H bHl Style G Style E ALL JACKETS SWEATERS SHIRTS RAINCOATS JUMPERS BLOUSES MONOGRAMMED FREE AT .THE WHITE SHOP F. L. WHITE & COMPANY CULPEPER, VIRGINIA Farmers Contribute To U. S. Economy About 5 million non-farm workers got $25 billion in paychecks and fringe benefits in 1967 which they earned in the marketing of food and fiber produced by American farmers, according to Chairman H. S. Barksdale of the Rappahannock County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee. Chairman Barksdale said this was $8 billion more than in 1957-59 and $13 billion more than in 1950, and workers who benefited range from laborers to professional people and executives - milk truck drivers, processors, plant workers, warehousemen, supermarket checkers, restaurant workers, engineers, scientists, and accountants and many others. Farmers made another contribution to the American economy by providing an abundance of quality food at reasonable cost, the Chairman pointed out. He said farmers have responded to consumer demand with a 5.2 percent per capita increase in production of preferred foods since 1957-59, with large gains among livestock products, including poultry and beef. He cautioned, however, that cur growing population and rising standards of living present a continuing challenge to farmers of tomorrow. The Chairman reported that U. S. Department of Agriculture economists estimated that American farmers will have to increase crop production by 1.9 percent annually over the next 15 to 20 years to meet expected domestic and export needs, and that livestock production will need to grow by 1.7 percent per year. Gov. Godwin Notes Nat. Highway Week “Rarely has Virginia realized more clearly the importance of highways than during the devastating floods of late August,” Governor Mills E. Godwin Jr. said in a statement noting the state’s observance of National Highway Week September 21-17. The Governor’s statement notes that for days after the backlash of Hurricane Camille struck the Old Dominion, “entire communities were isolated, commerce and industry halted and assistance tc those in distress severely handicapped. “These events reminded us again that highways are the lifelines of the Commonwealth, carrying her commerce and her people, and sustaining a myriad of industries and businesses of every kind.” Governor Godwin’s statement Tax Information James P. Boyle, IRS District Director for Virginia, said today that individuals paying estimated income tax must reflect the extension of the 10 per cent surcharge to December 31, 1969, in their installments due on or after September 15. Prior to the extension, the 10 per cent surchage was to expire June 30, 1969, which resulted in an annual effective rate of 5 per cent for 1969. Since the extension raises the effective rate to the full 10 per cent, estimated taxes will have to be recomputed, with the additional tax to be divided equally over the remaining installments. Taxpayers can recompute the installments due on the Amended Computation schedule they received as part of their estimated tax package last February. SEE US FOR CHRYSLER - PLYMOUTH INTERNATIONAL RUSSELL BROS., INC. u U. S. HIGHWAY 522 FLINT HILL, VA. PHONE 675-3646 invited Virginia citizens “to remember during this period the benefits derived from their highway tax dollars.” The Department of Highways is joining with road-user and industry groups to mark the event, which is sponsored annually by the American Association of State Highway Officials. Most of the department’s districts and residencies have planned various activities to point up the benefits that highways provide to Virginians. Some offices will have open houses that will enable citizens to learn about highway plans, equipment and procedures. Other will arrange construction tours for public officials and representatives of the news media. Still others will provide speeches and slide presentations for school classes or civic groups. Some will offer combinations of these activities. The Virginia Motor Vehicle Conference will sponsor the third annual Highway Week Breakfast September 23 at the John Marshall Hotel in Richmond. Speakers will include Senator Jennings Randolph of West Virginia, chairman of the Senate Public Works Committee, who will report on the federal-aid program on the national level; and Virginia Highway Commissioner Douglas B. Fugate, who will discuss the current status and outlook of Virginia’s Del. Frost Plans Legislative Hearing State Delegate Tom Frost, Chairman of the Virginia Advisory Legislative Council’s Committee to Study Mechanics’ Lien Laws, announced today that his Committee will 'conduct a public hearing in House Room No. 3 at the State Capitol Thursday, September 11, 1969, beginning at 10:00 a.m. This study was directed by House Joint Resolution No. 135 at the 1968 Regular Session of the Virginia General Assembly. The Resolution requires that the study not only consider changes to the existing State mechanics’ and materialmen’s lien laws but highway program. Perhaps the most important-and lasting-feature that will be called to citizens’ attention during Highway Week is the department’s and industry’s emphasis on safe, modern roads. Motorists will have 100 more miles of four-lane divided highways than they had last autumn. The roads include new sections of the arterial network and the interstate and regular primary systems. The state’s 1,070-mile interstate system now has 680 miles open to traffic and an additional 150 miles under construction. The 1,738-mile arterial network is nearing the halfway point. > LOW COST, STOMA DOOR? l^rORM WINDOWS, PORCH SMCLOSORE i I b««p#r than Glott Window Materials FLEXIBLE, SHATTERPROOF, MADE BETTER, LAST LONG!

L_ OBITUARIES 1 Mr*. Bessie Grimsley A funeral service for Mrs. Mary Elizabeth (Bessie) Grimsley of Culpeper will be held Friday at 11 a.m. at Geest Funeral Chapel, the Rev. John S. Farrar officiating. Burial will follow in Fairview Cemetery. Mrs. Grimsley, 81, widow of Herbert H. Grimsley died Tuesday, September 16, 1969 at Culpeper Memorial Hospital following a recent illness. She was a native of Castleton, daughter of the late Richard H. and Jane Browning Duncan. Mrs. Grimsley was manager of the hobby shop at the Virginia Baptist Home for seven years. She was a member of Culpeper Baptist Church and the Culpeper chapter of American Association of Retired Persons. Surviving are four sisters, Mrs. Mabel Beery and Mrs. B. D. McClary, both of Richmond, and Mrs. Weston Grimsley and Mrs. R. M. Rohrer both of Culpeper. Also three brothers, L. M. Duncan of Viewtown, Richard E. Duncan of Los Angeles, Calif., and B. H. Duncan of Vallejo, Calif. Soc. Security Notes Persons receiving social security benefits are required to report any event which may affect their benefits, Mrs. Hazel F. Crumpton, social security district manager in Winchester, Va. reminded beneficiaries this week. Failure to report an event promptly might cause inconvenience to the beneficiary and may delay his benefit checks. One event which should be reported by those receiving social security checks is change of address. It is simple to report and should be done before a person moves to a new address. Another event which must be reported promptly is change in work status. Any beneficiary who works and expects to earn more than $1,680.00 during a year must report this fact. Often some benefits are still payable even though a person earns more than $1,680.00. Some other events which a woman receiving benefits as a wife must report are a divorce from her husband or the death of t her husband. A widow must report remarriage if her benefits are being paid on her deceased husband’s account. Any person receiving checks for a child must also advise the Social Security Administration if the child marries, dies, or leaves his custody. If benefits are being paid to an individual because of a disability, a prompt report must be made if the disabled person engages in any work, or if his condition improves enough so he could return to work. Anyone who has a question as to whether or not a particular event must be reported should write, phone, or come into the local social security office at 20 S. Cameron St. Telephone number is 667-1511. Hire Children After School Hours With the start of the school year, farmers were reminded to hire youngsters under 16 only outside school hours by Pat Meloan, Regional Director of the U. S. Department of Labor’s Wage-Hour Division. Even the 14-and-15-year-olds who have successfully completed the special 4-H courses in tractor and other equipment operation, and vocational agriculture students may not work during school hours under the child labor provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act, Meloan said. The Division is presently instituting a Fall back-to-school campaign, he explained, and is responsible for enforcing the child labor standards of the FLSA. A'This law applies to migrants as well as local children so both may get the education needed in today’s economy,” Meloan stated. “A youngster’s future success depends on the schooling he gets,” he emphasized. That young farmworkers generally aren’t getting as much education as other youngsters is evident from the Division’s findings on working farm children, Meloan reported. Last year over half of the minors found working on farms during school hours were in grades lower than normal for their ages, and at age 15, a'l m o s t 8 o u t of 10 were behind in school grade level, he said. Mr. Meloan pointed out that the FLSA does not affect children who work on the home farm for their parents or guardians. He reminded farmers that in States where the child labor laws differed from the Federal standards, the higher ones apply. “The staff of the Division’s Area Office at Room 10-016 Federal Building, 400 North 8th Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219 (telephone: 703 - 649-3611), will be happy to answer any questions about the Act,” he added. f MEMORIAL PROGRAM Your Memorial Gift is a fitting tribute to a loved one.

Kenneth Hudgins, the eye bank’s Executive Director. The human eye tissue used for such sight-restoring corneal transplants is provided to Virginia ophthalmologists free of charge through the eye bank’s eye-donor program. Virginia residents are asked to donate their eyes, on death, to the eye bank, so that corneal transplantations can be provided to those of our citizens who have been blinded because of damaged or diseased corneas. Corneal transplantations are now quite commonplace and have become increasingly successful in restoring vision to those afflicted by this type of blindness. A critical factor in restoring sight to those so afflicted, however, is the human eye tissue for the operations. The Lions Clubs of eastern Virginia, primary patrons and supporters of the eye baffk, are engaged in a continuing campaign to increase the number of pledges of eye tissue, on death, by Virginia citizens -- in order to supply the much-needed eye tissue. Those willing to make such a donation - so that others may see - are asked to contact any member of a local Lions Club or to write directly to Old Dominion Eye Bank and Research, Inc., 408 North 12th Street, Richmond, Va. 23219.

All you need to do is provide for their comfort, and they will flock to your home and sing their thanks. Most of the things they need are easy to supply and are not expensive. The population explosion, and the hectic pace of modem society is a problem for birds as well as humans. New housing developments remove trees and brush and thus destroy nesting sites and food. The draining of wet lands and the building of super highways is equally harmful. Birds have about five basic needs. Supply these and you will have many more birds around your home. To survive and perpetuate their kind, birds must have food, water, shelter from hot and cold weather, nesting sites, and protection from predators. Food for birds is easy to supply. A bird feeder will provide the cafeteria service they enjoy most. Also, plant some berry-producing shrubs which will add beauty to your landscape, and food for your feathered friends. Some trees and shrubs which supply food for birds are Japanese Barberry, Birch, Blueberry, Buckthorn, Chokeberry, Elder, Larch, Mountain Ash, Mulberry, Privet and Viburnum. Water is a critical need for birds and may be hard for them to find in some localities during dry periods. A bird bath will provide a place to drink as well as bathe. If you have ever observed birds splashing around in their special bathing pool, you know how much they enjoy it. The shrubs and small trees you plant to supply food may also provide shelter from the hot sun in summer and cold winds of winter. Locate them in a back corner of the property away from traffic and excessive noise. Include some evergreens which will be more effective as a windbreak. Trees will serve as nesting sites, but you may increase the appeal of your yard as a bird haven by installing some bird houses. Be sure you select the correct type to attract the species you prefer, and which are commonly found in your area. Your birds will also need nesting materials to construct or line their homes. They will welcome a supply of short pieces of old thread or rags. Do not provide tough fibers like nylon in which birds may become entangled. A supply of mud which is high in clay will attract robins, and other birds that use mud in building their nests. Be sure the feeders and nesting boxes are located where they cannot be reached by cats. A smooth metal cylinder or cone at least 12 inches wide on the pole or tree will cat-proof the location.

Gideon Battles the Establishment By H. R. Terhune No person who has sipped the milk of human kindness, could, in all good conscience, deny any living thing the right to survive-not even if the creature was a little old bull calf on the way to market. Nevertheless, there are times when exasperation measures the depth of patience, and so it seemed regarding Gideon. Poor Gideon lived in beautiful Rappahannock County, Virginia, over near Tick Ridge and belonged to somebody’s mother-in-law, a situation over which he had no control. But over the ages, there have been mean old jokesters with bilious digestions who have systematically tarnished the shining image of the mother of man’s enchantment, and everything that belonged to her. Gideon was, therefore, a victim of circumstances. Well, come auction day at Front Royal, a man came to the mother-in-law’s farm, and with “cooing” and sweet talk, beguiled innocent Gideon into a cattle truck. Away they rolled, and as home and the familiar green pastures faded to view, consternation filled his tender heart, and it was mighty apparent that this here calf wanted out. But before any well conceived plan of escape had been worked out, the truck turned into another farm yard. The truck blew its horn, then the man and his wife got out and a woman came out of the house. The three then proceeded to herd two other calves toward a loading shoot. These were to be Gideon’s companions to market, and so with considerable threshing of arms, right much yelling and no small amount of tail twisting, into the truck shot the two new passengers, right smack into the face of Gideon. Surely he had been scared up until now, but when he saw these two strange white-faced monsters with red hair all over, he was petrified with fear. Sheltered in his home shed, this little black Angus had never been away from home, and he had never been boxed up with two apparitions that weighed twice as much as he did. It was a situation wnicn called tor supreme resourcefulness. In a twinkling he made himself as thin as a snake and slipped right out between the slats of the truck. By the time he hit the ground, a strange magic had restored his 300 pounds which now powered him past six frantic but futile grasping hands that were eager to do, but didn’t. Somebody said, “There goes your mother-in-law’s calf,” and two other people added things that curled Gideon’s black hair as he raced for cover, and which burned real hot on the end that followed him. Beckoning the escapee ahead was a four-acre patch of Joe pie weed, goldenrod, and ragweed interlaced with mild morning glory and honeysuckle, too thick for bird cover and rabbit hunting, but just right for Gideon. Profitable summer rains had shot the stuff up six and seven feet high forming graphic evidence that something got in the way of the man that was going to bush-hog that sorry patch weeks ago. Now it was Gideon against the establishment and the two women and the man moved in pursuit. Situations such as this have always brought forward the finest in human character and there’s a fiber found in dependable women, that when put to the test, defies all danger and hardship and leaves men standing up, eyes and respect pointing upward. Molly Pitcher showed her stuff as she manned a silent cannon at Bunker Hill during the Revolutionary War; Joan D’Arc chalked up her mark as she led her French to victory, and whether it’s nursing a weak baby at 3 a.m. or hiving a bunch of swarming bees, the courage and ingenuity of women will always come surging to the top. So while Lottie (fictitious name) grumbled about the batch of fox grape jelly that needed squeezing and Arleen (fictitious name) growled about two bushels of snap beans waiting to be canned or frozen, they both plodded onward, agreeing that the day didn’t include one minute to chase a fool calf. On they went and Carvar (fictitious name) went with them, the jungle of weeds soon closing about them. “Hey Lottie, I just heard him cough.” “That’s not the calf, that is my blamed asthma. I’m all choked up with this ragweed pollen and I sure don’t sound like that darned thing anyway. Hey Arleen, he’s right in front of me.” “Lottie, what’s wrong with you? That’s me.” “Well, my eyes are watering so I can’t see, and I feel awful. Put that stick up in the air then I’ll know you’re not the calf.” This went on for fifteen minutes. Finally with both Carvar and the calf lost to sight and sound; when no rustling but that of the two women was heard, Lottie says, “I’m going to get my old Abergail, the milk cow; she’ll lead him out.” So Lottie and Abergail returned and Lottie says to Abergail, “Call him,” for not only does this grand girl give 90 pounds a day, but she understands cow language and some English. With a plaintive moo, Abergail called and somewhere in the distance the echo answered Baa. Lottie said, “call again,” and again Gideon answered, only closer. On the third round of Moo-baa, out comes Gideon confirming that something about honey being a better fly-catcher than vinegar. Abergail now turned Judas and quietly walked Gideon toward the trap. In fact, he was already in it when he realized that he had been in a cattle shoot once before that day. So he braced his feet too late, as two brooms descended on his back and a big stick whacked the side of the shoot, a combination which would startle any animal forward. At last the door slammed and Lottie went back to the grape jelly, Arleen to canning green beans. Carvar pointed the truck toward Front Royal and Gideon went into hamburger.

According to F. Wayne Dementi, local manager, there is one important change in the format of the new directory. Instead of separate sections (Culpeper, Madison, SperryviUe, Orange, etc.), the directory will be consolidated into one overall alphabetized listing. He stated that this change was instituted in order to help the subscriber find a listing more easily. The consolidated directory will prevent the subscriber from first having to find the correct section before seeking the desired listing. Dementi added that should any customer fail to receive his directory before September 15 to please contact the Business Office in Culpeper.

My mother told me that she thought of me as being her favorite child, that I had an understanding heart. That was not the day. It was a special day when my wife proposed to me. Ha! Ha! It was also special when she promised to love, honor and OBEY. Think she has reneged on the latter. It was also a special day when I thought she had slipped over the brink, and then came back to me. I shall always remember that day with a certain amount of awe and of gladness. But, that was not the day. The day that I think of as my own RED-LETTER DAY was about thirty years ago. It was evening and I was in my study, the light was dim and my mind was just kind of lazying around. Suddenly there was this person looking at me, there was a vague resemblance to someone I knew or had known. But how could I have known him, he looked like one who could walk with the gods. There were no words spoken, but I received the impression that he was conveying a thought to1!me; ‘I am the being that you can become if you WALK IN THE WAY.’ I’ve never forgotten that HEAVENLY VISION, neither have I walked in THE WAY as I should. It has had a remarkable effect on my life, while I am conscious of my human frailties I know that there is a better WAY, and by God’s grace I can overcome. I can not tell how many incarnations are before me, I hope HE will let me take that VISION with me through transition into the after life. That the inner me be able to ‘Build more stately mansions, 0 my soul, Each NEW TEMPLE, nobler than the last.’ HILLSDALE Drive-In Theatre WASHINGTON, VA.
