Amissville Ruritans To Hear from FBI A representative of the Federal Bureau of Investigation from the Richmond office will be the guest speaker at the regular dinner meeting of the Amissville Ruritan Club which is scheduled for December 17. The Cultural and Political Committee of the local club arranged for the FBI speaker through the office of J. Edgar Hoover. In making the announcement of this meeting, H. R. Terhune suggests that anyone making blanket whiskey cover up for the evening. Church Notice Worship Service at the Washington United Methodist Church on Sunday December 14, will begin at 9 a.m. with the Rev. Jerry Campbell delivering the message. Castleton Firemen Elect New Officers At an election meeting held December 1 of the Castleton Community Volunteer Fire Department, the following members were elected and will serve as next year’s officers: President - Richard Settle. Vice president - Charles Gasch. Secretary - Ray Scott. Treasurer - John W. Settle. Chief - Earl Jenkins. Assistant Chief - Vincent Edwards. Captain - Charles Hitt. Lieutenant - Gordon Scudder. Sportsmen, Join Up! Deer killed in Rappahannock County during the past week were all checked at Sperryville by F. D. Coffey. These included a 10 pointer taken by James Presgraves of Luray, and 5 point bucks by Wendell Thompson and Gary Stone both from Arlington. The snow Sunday brings to mind the question of hunting with snow on the ground. All game may be hunted during the legal season with snow on the ground except quail. Quail may not be hunted in the snow where there is enough snow for tracking or where there is enough to make an almost solid background. Anyone who has seen a covey of quail come across their snow covered lawn can readily see how defenseless these birds are under such conditions. Bobwhite has enough to do trying to get food and grit and keeping away from natural predators during a solid covering of snow. Hunters should be wise enough to leave him alone during these periods. Grouse hunters will be interested in the latest addition to the Winchester Library of Sportsmen’s Hand Books. This is a 104 page book on the Ruffed Grouse. These books may be ordered for $1.00 each including postage from the Conservation Department, Winchester Western, East Alton, Illinois. Cantata at Flint Hill Members of the choir of the Flint Hill Methodist Church, under the direction of Mrs. W. K. Harris, will present the Cantata “Wondrous Love” Sunday, December 21 at 6 p.m. The public is cordially Invited to attend. Porch Construction To Begin Soon Construction on the porch at the new Sperryville fire house will get underway in the very near future. A number of contributions have been made to the construction fund, and anyone wishing to donate may send a check to John Walker Jenkins, president Sperryville Fire Dept., earmarked for this purpose. The porch will be dedicated in memory of Robert F. Estes, a former member and president, and will contain a plaque in his honor. Xmas Seal Sales Still Lag Badly Contributions for Christmas Seals have lagged to the extent that the Tuberculosis and Health Association of Northern Virginia fears for its program for the next year. “We have nursing seminars in the budget,” said Frank Raflo, association president, “and special work with our young people, as well as educational films and health-teaching leaflets for our youngsters. Funds will be needed so that we can continue supplying our indigent sanatorium patients with personal money, pajamas, robes, slippers and laundry. Funds are also badly needed for research projects in all areas of respiratory disease and for programs for pulmonary-af fected patients.” President Raflo is urging all citizens to back the fight against tuberculosis and other respiratory diseases, such as emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Reminders, with a convenient return envelope, have been mailed - hoping that many people will share as generously as they can 1 he area statistics are as follows: County, 1969 Christmas Seal Campaign Goal, Campaign $’s received as of Date 12/8/69.

What is the net worth of the average local family, taking into account its cash savings, the equity in its home, its car, investments, insurance, pension reserves, clothing and the like? A family balance sheet, in which the assets are listed in one column and the liabilities in another, may prove to be an eye-opener, as most people have never figured out how much they have accumulated over the years. They know, in a general way, that they are better off than they once were, in most cases, but they have never worked it out in dollars and cents. Some help in this direction is now available through national studies made by the Federal Reserve Board, the Institute of Life Insurance and others. They find that the earning capacity of a family and its net worth are directly related. Those in the higher brackets have assets equal to several times their annual incomes while those with modest incomes have accumulated DroDortionatelv less Related to Rappahannock County and to the current earning levels in the area, the national figures indicate an average net worth of $12,400 per family locally. The amount applies to the |50-called “average” family. It lumps together all age groupsthe older ones, who have been adding to their assets over the years, as well as the younger ones who are on the way up. For typical families in some specific brackets, the estimatee are as follows: those with after-tax incomes of $5,000 tc $7$00, a net worth ranging from $10,500 to $15,500, those with $7,000 to $9,000, net worth ol $15,500 to $21,000, and those in the $12,000 to $15,000 bracket assets of $38,500 to $63,000. For the population ol Rappahannock County as s whole, the total net worth comet to an estimated $17,400,000. Included is the value of all housing, automobiles, household equipment, life insurance wearing apparel, bank accounts business interests and stock holdings. On the other side of the ledgei are instalment debt, mortgages ical bills, payments due or jthe car and all other obligations The Amissville Homemakers Gub, originally established in 1932, has been reorganized twice since that time. Except for brief periods, this club has been one of the most active in the county. Mrs. A. C. Latham, sr., Mrs. J. L. Walter and Mrs. S. W. Riley have been charter members of this group with each inception. More pictures inside IReport Farm Change To Co. ASCS Office Changes in the number of acres being farmed can mean changes in farm records at the County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS) Office. And that means whenever a farmer buys, sells, leases, rents, or otherwise acquires or disposes of farmland, he should drop by the County ASCS Office as soon as possible thereafter to set the records straight, according to Rappahannock County ASC Committee Chairman H. S. Barksdale. Records are kept on farms participating in programs administered by ASCS. Major ASCS programs in Rappahannock County are: Wheat, Feed Grain, and the Agricultural Conservation Program (AGP). Mr. Barksdale pointed out that the ASCS office must keep accurate records on total acreage of all farms where owners or operators participate in any ASCS-administered program. If a farm is constituted differently now than it was when the farmer began program participation -• and if he hasn’t | yet reported the change -- then he should drop by the County ASCS i Office on his very next trip to town to make the report. Also, if a farm has changed owners or operators in that period, a report should be madej to the county office. The ASC Corpmittee Chairman l emphasized that changes need be reported only by farmers participating in one or more farm programs administered by ASCS. i \ Fire and Rescue £ j | t Squad Notes 5 ^ j Rappahannock Rescue Squad answered a call to a wreck east of {Washington Tuesday night but | services were not needed.

Amissville Homemakers Club Survives 37 Years, Though Reorganized Twice The agents of the VP1 Extension Service have been available in Rappahannock for many years. In Amissville Homemakers Clubs under the direction of the Extension Service have been in existence for 37 years. In this time, however, the Amissville club has undergone organization three times and Mrs. J. L. Walter, Mrs. S. W. Riley and Mrs. A. C. Latham, Sr. have been charter members each time. A look into the history of the club shows that it was originally organized in 1932 and was one of| the first ones in the county. Miss Matilda (lamer was the Home Economics Agent and additional members of that group were Miss Louise Anderson who now lives in Culpeper and the late Mrs. J. M. Rowzie. This was still the time oj the depression, so programs and demonstrations centered around the preparation of meals using home grown or raised food as mam dishes, especially eggs. At that time eggs were selling for 8 cents per dozen. Other instruction included canning and drying vegetables for winter use and reseating chairs with paper] fiber and splits. For a time the county was without an agent but received some instructions from a relief worker named Mrs. Thornhill who stressed sewing, smocking and decorative finishes for children's dresses. In 1941 club work was resumed) under the direction of Mrs Wilkerson Charter members at this time were the three named plus Mrs. Charles Green, and the late Mrs. Will Walter and Mrs C. A Smith I’ll is was during the second World War and many food items were rationed, especially sugar. Demonstrations provided ingenuous ways to use syrups and honey for sweetening agents When Mrs. Wilkersons husband returned from military duty I wo jtngle-V etude Crashes Reported At 7:10 p.m. Tuesday night. Milton Clay Gore, operating a 68 Ford pickup ran off the right of the road a mile east of Washington and over turned. The truck went off the road, out of control, struck the bank and turned over, according to the investigating officer, Trooper W. A. Buntin Major Freeman, a passenger In the vehicle, nor Mr. Gyre were injured The truck was declared a total loss. A charge of reckless driving was placed against the operator. Add one to the deer kill check in Rappahannock for a truck bagged a deer early Friday morning on Route 211 a little more than a mile west of Amissville. Jerry Allen Cubbage of Stanley, Va. was the loser with $300 in damages to his 68 Ford truck after he struck and killed the animal. Trooper W. A. Buntin investigated the crash. overseas, she resigned as agent in 1945. Miss Ruth Brumbaek came as the next agent in July 1945 According to members, she was very' efficient and much was gained from her Of particular interest was cheese making at home. Miss Brumbaek married and left to take up homemaking herself. Miss Louis*1 Roton was the next agent who came here in January 1947 and remained until March of 48. She resigned for reasons of (Continued on page 2) Lions Sell Brooms and Fruit Cakes Saturday The Rappahannock Lions Club will sell fruit cakes and brooms in a door to door canvass on Saturday, December 13 in the afternoon.

Pulp wood Produced At High Rate in ’68 Southern forests produced 37,075,355 cords of pulpwood in 190 8 shattering the 1907 production record by 10 percent. Forester William C. Vernam of the Virginia Division, of Forestry reports that the L'nited States Forest Service figures show Virginia producing 2.37iKO(jp cords of roundwood afid residues for a 1 percent increase over 1907 production figures The production of roundwood. however, decreased by 9 percent in Virginia while the use of residues increased by a large 40 percent making a 1 percent over all production increase for the state Rappahannock County produced 2,345 standard cords of roundwood in 1908 consisting of 2,329 cords of pine and 25 cords of hardwood. Forester Vemam states that the increase by 40 percent in the use of wood residues in Virginia is a most favorable trend as it means that the mills are practicing better ‘.’utilization of their raw material which means that less wood is being left in the woods. Tight utilization and an increasing demand for forest products means a better market price for the timber grower. Pine still appears to be the main species of tree used in pulpwood production in Virginia and the figures show little change in the steady demand for pine pulpwood. The report also shows that 7 new mills started production in 6 southern states and that all but two southern states increased their pulping capacity. The new mills, plus the expanded existing mills, boosted southern pulping capacity to 77,140 tons per day. ‘HiUs the South continues its pulp and paper expansion and the outlook for pulpwood production in the South and Virginia looks most favorable.

During her tenure important information was gained on legal matters concerning homemakers including “Wills and Deeds” with material supplied by R. V. Snead, who is now Judge of the Circuit Court. A period from March until June found the county without a leader, then Miss Janet Sollenberger arrived here as agent. Among subjects covered under her leadership were making slip covers, Christmas center pieces, chair caning and handmade gifts. Cupid claimed this one also (we lose many that way) and in May 1951 she resigned to become a homemaker. Miss Elizabeth Fuss arrived here in September of 1951 and remained longer than any agent has, until 1957, however, she developed heart trouble also. She became Mrs. Billy Powers, but continued on for a time as Extension Agent. During her years of duty here demonstrations were had on restyling hats, cooking with herbs, hooking rugs, etching aluminum trays. The next agent was Miss Virginia Bames who stayed a little less than a year and in September of 58 Miss Anna Ruth Barnette came and remained as agent until October of 1961. In January of 1962 Miss Barbara Jones arrived as agent and remained until June of 63 Miss Harriet Goode was ther agent from August 63 until 64 She was followed by Miss Doris Daugherty from 65 until 66. Each of these young ladies were married and began careers as homemakers. Miss Diane Brown was the nexi agent from September 66 to 6f and in January of 1969 the present representative arrivec here. She is Miss Judy Burtnei and has been one of, if not the most, active agents holding th« position. Other projects which have beer undertaken include basic anc advanced sewing, crewe embroidery, reupholsterinf furniture, making lampshades covering shoes, making three demensional pictures, making cracked marble plaques, pillow making, flower arranging anc crocheting. In December of 1962 Amissville Club underwent reorganizing after a lapse ol several years.

Among the achievements of the RAPP CHATS Rap Owing$ *,iten«foa A(«nt, Africa lure Calf scours are not a disease, but a sympton. Just as a cough is not a disease in itself but a symptom of some trouble in the respiratory system. Like colds, calf scours can be caused by many different kinds of “bugs” and all of them will not respond to the same treatment. Another factor to consider in controlling calf scours is that when the number of animals doubles in any given area the incidence of diseases and parasites become four times as great and rises in this progression with increases in concentration. Also, anything that upsets the calves’ digestive system or general thriftiness will make them more susceptable to the scour organism. And once, you have an outbreak in unsanitary crowded conditions, the scours organism will often increase in virulence as it passes through the calf crop. Now, I don’t pretend to know all the answers, but I do know that I can predict with a fair degree of accuracy a number of farms in Madison and Warren Counties that will have a calf scours problem this winter. These farms will have at least some of the following factors in common: 1. Cow herd is not broken down into separate feeding units. Cows that haven’t calved will be fed at the same high level as those that are nursing. New bom calves will just get too much milk. 2. Cows and calves are oonfined or fed in a bam lot that will turn into a mud hole with the first bad weather and cows will be bogged down in mud up to their udders. 3. These farmers will think mostly of treating the scours problem with one of the. antibiotics rather than what is j causing the problem and how toi prevent it. Here’s hoping your herd has a calf scours free winter. And hope to see all of the Roadside Market owners at the Fire Hall tonight in Sperryville at 7:30 p.m. Dr. Jim Bell will be on deck to discuss Marketing Problems and Mr. Skeen will present the proposed alternate routes of the new highway.

Marsh, Jr., said today that “Congress should work on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve, if necessary to complete action on this year’s appropriation bills before the calendar year ends.” Marsh, a member of the House Appropriations Committee, noted that the bills carry funds for the current fiscal year, which began July 1, and that many federal departments and agencies are operating under stop-gap authorizations to spend at levels of the past fiscal year. ‘‘However valid the explanations for some of the delays may be, the Congress should not allow 1969 to slip by without winding up the essential business of clearing the annual appropriation bills,” he said. Marsh pointed out that some of the appropriations measures had been delayed “because the separate bills authorizing the The annual Christmas Bazaar sponsored by the Rappahannock County Garden Club was well attended and offered a unique variety of articles. Having tea which is served by Mrs. Harald Havstaad are Mrs. T. J. Pillar and Mrs. M. F. Biddle, seated, Mrs. Dorothy McElfresh and Mrs George Newman of Culpeper. expenditures, which precede the actual appropriation of funds, had not been presented much earlier in the year.” He said the House “now can show, at least, that its part of the appropriations work now has been substantially completed,” but he added that, “the situation which has developed this year points up sharply the urgent need of major modernization of the budget-handling process in the Congress.” SHOOTING MATCH Saturday, December 13 And Each Saturday afternoon until further notice 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. AT CASTLETON FIRE HOUSE Used 1968 Buick LeSabre 4-dr.

Heart Disease, a Local Problem The heart problem isn’t a distant national problem of concern only to medical centers, physicians and research scientists. ^ It is a local problem -- one which casts its shadow over every home in this community. In 1968, 33 people in Rappahannock County died from heart disease. Hiis summer represented 54% of all deaths in the county that year. If you are skeptical, just note the frequency with which the words “heart attack,” “stoke” and “heart disease” show up in the obituary columns of this newspaper. Here, as elsewhere throughout the nation, approximately half of all deaths are caused by a cardiovascular disease. Cancer is a distant second, while accidents are third. In these circumstances, it is vital that we give our full support to the Heart Fund, which makes possible the research, education and community service activities of your Heart Association. Over the past 20 years Heart Fund dollars have speeded virtually every advance in cardiovascular medicine. These gains are reflected in a 20 per cent decline in the cardiovascular mortality rate for those aged below 65. But much remains to be done. This year more than a million Americans, including a number from this community, will die from a cardiovascular disorder. So give generously when your Heart Fund volunteer rings your doorbell late in February. Give — so more will live! Phyllis Rees 675-3336 Increase in Widows1 Dependency Rates On October 27,1969, President Nixon signed a bill to increase the monthly rates for widows’ dependency and indemnity compensation. The new legislation changes the concept upon which dependency and {indemnity compensation had heretofore been based. The formula, wherein a set rate of compensation ($120) plus 12 percent of the basic pay of the deceased veterans’ rank was payable, has been eliminated. The new law establishes a standard table of rates related to the rank or rating held by the veteran at the time of his death oi discharge, whichever is the later. The new rates will become effective on December 1, 1969: and will be reflected in the check received on or about January 2, 1970. The minimum monthly rate payable under the new law is $167. In addition, the law now provides for additional payments of $20 per month for each child below the age of 18, and $50 per month in the case of a widow so disabled as to require the aid and attendance of another person oi is in a nursing home.

Warning Given on Xmas Tree Fires BLACKSBURG-The joy of the Christmas season will tum to dust for the families of the 80 to 90 people who are expected to die from Christmas tree fires this /ear. The National Safety Council makes this estimate and adds that untold numbers will probably be injured or made homeless by such fires. A Christmas tree can be a serious fire hazard unless proper care is taken. And yet, it is easy to take the precautions that render your cut Christmas tree safe and enjoyable, said William A. McElfresh, extension forestry specialist at Virginia Tech. The first thing is to make sure you get a freshly cut tree. Such a tree will not readily bum. If the needles have turned brown, the tree has already dried out too much. Keep your tree fresh and green by cutting the butt at an angle about one above the original cut and placing the tree in water. This angled cut, said McElfresh, gives a fresh surface for the tree to take up water. A saw makes a better water-absorbing cut than a smooth axe cut. Store your tree in a cool, shady place until it is time for use. If possible, sprinkle the branches THE VILLAGE SHOP Main Street Flint Hill Stocking Staffers < —Come See— Open 11 a.m. - 6 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday CLORE FUNERAL HOME “The Home of -Thoughtful Service" Culpeper, Va. Phone 825-2361 Ambulance Service With Oxygen daily with water. When you put the tree in the house, put it in a water-filled holder. Remember to water the tree while it is up. It may use as much as a quart of water a day, said the specialist. Use safe decorations and lights. Never use candles or open flame on or near the tree. Check your tree lights for worn and frayed wires*that could start a fire. The electrical outlet for plugging in tree lights should be away from the tree so the lights can be easily disconnected in an emergency. “A well-shaped, fresh, green tree makes a beautiful Christmas tree. For safety and for beauty, keep a green tree in your home this Christmas, said McElfresh. TELL YOUR WIFE . . Tell her that Homelite now has the lightest saw they ever built.

The same questions have been asked in recent years by parents of school-age children and other Interested citizens in neighboring counties. As a result of the discussions*, that have been prompted by such questions, Culpeper, Orange, and Madison Counties have made available a vocational training facility in the Piedmont School. Shenandoah County has a similar facility in the Tripplet School. Planning is going on between the counties of Frederick, Clark, and the city of Winchester to establish a similar facility in the new future. Just what can a vocational school offer that is not possible in a small rural high school? Examples of training that boys and girls receive in Vocational Schools, such as the ones previously mentioned, include preparation in Data Processing, Electricity, Electronics, Carpentry, Auto Mechanics, Cosmotology, Masonry, plus a host of other fields. Do Rappahannock students graduate with the same preparation? Presently, the vocational offerings in many smaller high schools include courses in Home Economics for girls and Industrial Arts for boys. On occasion, one can find a small high school offering training in typing and bookkeeping. But what if the girl desires to work in addition to taking care of a home after graduation? Will she be able to secure a job other than clerical? What about the boy? Will openings on an industrial assembly line or in the field of construction be his only available choices?

Lewis Clerk We pause in the midst of our daily chores, and try to figure out what our young people are seeking and where they think they are going. Then we compare our youthful years with theirs now. Then we conclude by placing the blame on the schools, poor housing and churches for the behavior of our youth. It is human to shift the blame to another person, or a condition, for this was done by the first man Adam who blamed the woman for his disobedience. Just as it was then with Adam, it is now hard to get a man to tell it like it is. Many of our heartaches and sleepless nights have come because we have been using our heads in competitiveness for the almighty dollar and have left out the use of our hearts. For it was Solomon who said “Out of the heart flows the issues of life”. Modem mothers and fathers have failed to stress the need of love in every walk of life to their children. Our founding fathers and mothers taught their children God’s words that say, “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending”. Our lust for gold and what it gets us in a material sense has made mockery of the statement “In God We Trust” and has led our children seemingly to believe that God’s goodness used by our foreparents should be done away with and replaced with the words of a philosopher who was all head and no heart and whose record says “He did this and wrote that and he died”. God is now and he was then and shall always be. Mankind’s leadership without God has given us what we have on our doorsteps now. - Hatred, violence and no respect for laws that were taken from God’s words. Those youth who are being misled should take hold of the truth learned from the man who discovered that his house was leaking. He did not tear the house down. He replaced the worn out shingles with new ones and made his home as good as new. He did not threaten the man who sold him the house, nor did he pay his neighbors to demonstrate his business place. He realized that his house like the laws that governed the society had some imperfections and time rolls on and changes had to be made. Today our youth are being PULPWOOD WANTED Truckloads of pine or mixed wood delivered to Bentonville or loaded on cars at your nearest railway siding. We unload trucks at the yard in Bentonville.

For an instance, - the father will tell his son, who is in high school, that he is unable to buy him a car to ride to school and take his girl for drives. Hie mother will pretend that she needs transportation to her office and offers to buy the car out of her salary. Once the car is delivered, she lends it to her son, who within a short period of time loses respect for the father, and uses his mother to pay the traffic violation and keep the car running. Many of us are treating our children instead of training them. Education is one of our greatest needs in times like these, however, training the mind and leaving a heart full of hate will be time and money wasted. I am prone to believe that our hate mongers could leam a lesson from the reign of the late Mr. A. Hitler who had an army, navy and air force to perpetuate his hate and violence also his idealogy. The record shows God’s goodness overcame his intended evils then, and now I am certain that God is able to take care of a few sick haters who are howling and shouting because they are getting a few bucks on the side. What a man or a group of men believe does change them from being human. The human body must be spent by working and taking recreation through exercise, then it must rest. We are all in God’s game of life, and He is the Umpire, still calling the shots, and it does not make any difference whether hate, love or away out on pot trip, when He gets ready to take us out of the Game there is no need to argue now or then. Read the Want Ads! It Pays! Today’s Woman Judy Burtncr Extension Agent, Homs Economics Now that the Christmas Season is here, it comes to mind that many homemakers are probably planning to buy clothing for their husbands and/or sons as gifts for Christmas. Of course, the ideal situation is that the man try it on in the store and work around and stand naturally before a full length mirror to get the effect. If a man is considering a suit, the following points should be considered for proper fit: 1) Vi to 3A ” of shirt collar shows. 2) Shoulder length correct so armholes are in proper position. 3) Collar sets close to neck at back and sides. 4) Waist shaped only slightly 5) 'A to V4” of shirt cuff shows at wrist. 6) Coat covers seat of trousers. 7) Coat fits smoothly around hips, no flare. 8) Trousers fit easily and smoothly around waist and hips. 9) Trousers hang straight. 10) Trousers brush shoe tops. If a garment does not fit perfectly, many stores will either make minor alterations or allow the customer to select another size.

Went to church in the morning, heard a good message and the choir was excellent. Hearing and seeing; there were several pretty girls in the choir. I was thankful that I could hear and see. Upon returning home I was very grateful for the sense of smell as the succulent odors of roasting turkey assailed my nostrils. Then the sense of taste as the dinner was eaten and, finally feeling, as I felt my belt begin to thghten as I lost myself in absolute gluttony. I was again thankful that I suffered no unfavorable reaction. Due to the inexorable mandates ; of time my future Thanksgiving Days may be few. Be that as it may, I will continue to give thanks to the ONE who gives life ! and supplies our daily needs. Every day, to me, is a thanks giving day.
