Fauquier - RappL Road Hearing Feb 17 A public hearing on the location and design of a new bridge across the Rappahannock River at the Fauquler-Rappahannock County line will be held at 10 a.m. February 17 in the Trough Hill Baptist Church on VA 647 just west of the intersection with VA 645 in Fauquier County. Maps, drawings and other pertinent information are available for public inspection and copying in the Warrenton Residency office of the Virginia Department of Highways Written statements and other exhibits relative to the proposed project may be presented in place of or in addition to oral statements at the combined location and design public hearing. Such written statements and exhibits also may be submitted to the Department of Highways up to 10 days after the hearing. Tentative schedules for right-of-way acquisition and construction will be discussed at the hearing. The proposed project would replace a one-lane truss bridge over the river on VA 647 with a beam-span, concrete deck structure. Minor relocations of the approaches would be necessary for the project, total length of which is just over two-tenths of a mile. The pavement would be widened to 18 feet from the present 12, and the present bridge’s width of 10V4 feet would »jae improved to 18 feet of ’pavement on a 28-foot clear roadway, permitting two lanes. The proposed new bridge, with its 20-ton capacity, could be wed by heavy trucks that cannot use the present bridge, which has an eight-ton limit. The Highway Department hopes to be able to replace several limited-capacity bridges across the Rappahannock River over the next decade. Organizational Meet For Brownie Scouts There will be an organizational meeting for all parents interested in having their daughters become Brownie Girl Scouts (grades 2 and 3) on February 5, 1970 at 3:30 p.m. in the Rappahannock Elementary School auditorium. Miss Ellen *V. Swope, Field Director, for the Virginia Skyline Girl Scout Council will be present to answer questions and explain registration procedures. Chief Forest Warden Raymond M. Johnson,'right, and Norman Grimsley who is forest fire lookout tower man, discuss the effects of snow in relation to forest fire danger. Both have been involved in controlling forest fires in Rappahannock County for many years, and it is their considered opinion that the recent snow is the best fire prevention available. Actually, a few heavy snows in the winter months will decrease the danger of serious spring fires by compressing the leaf litter and other fine fuels closer to the ground. Two Fires Burn Five Acres in Rappk. The Division of Forestry reports that 367 forest fires burned 1077 acres of forestland in the 16-county Northern Piedmont District during 1969. In Rappahannock County, 2 fires have burned 5 acres of forestland. During 1968 there was a total of 548 fires, and these fires burned 1303 forested acres in the Northern Piedmont area. During 1969 the fire danger was moderately low in January and February, but severe conditions developed during the latter part of March and lingered on through April. During these months, forest wardens and vojunteer fire departments were able to keep the average size of the^ fire relatively small, even though fires were numerous. A deficiency of rainfall was noted in all four months. A high percentage of District fires was due to brush and trash burning. Another major cause was Joint Lenten Program A joint Lenten program is being planned by the Episcopal and Rappahannock Charge Methodist churches under the direction of the Rev. William M. Hargett and the Rev. Jerry Campbell. 6n Thursday evenings, starting February 12, there will be a Pot Luck supper at 6 o’clock at the Parish Hall of Trinity Episcopal Church, Washington, followed by program and discussion. A short service will be held on Ash Wednesday, February 11 at Trinity Church beginning at 12 noon. smoking; and children playing with matches accounted for a large number of fires. Railroads were responsible for about 15 percent, as burning carbon, hot metal from brakes, and burning fusees cause fires on the railroad rights-of-way which often bum into the forests. As we again approach that time of year when forest fires occur more frequently we ask for you help. Remember, a few dry days, warm temperatures, a little wind, and materials which normally bum rapidly can cause you and the forest fire fighter serious trouble. Good judgment is necMttry when burning at any time. Attend Diocese Meeting \ The Rev. William M. Hargett, Rector of Trinity Episcopal Church, Washington and Mr. E. N. Montague, Senior Warden, attended the 175th meeting of the Diocese of Virginia held Tuesday through Thursday at the Marriott Motor Hotel, Twin Bridges. On Wednesday they were present at the consecration of the Reverend Philip Alin Smith as Suffragan Bishop which took place at 8 p.m. at the National Cathedral in Washington, D. C. Bromfield Women The Women of the Church of Bromfield Parish will meet Wednesday, February 4 at 2 p.m. in the Parish Hall. Amissville Ruritans Begin New Year With Impressive Program of Projects The Amissville Ruritan Club rolled into the first year of the new decade with an impressive program of projects designed to help both county and community. Outstanding was the dub’s approval of a project to provide a warning light for the Ami8sville Fire Department, a facility long needed for the safety of both men and equipment. A dozen other objectives constituted the business which followed a dinner served by the Auxiliary of the Amissville Fire Dept, on last Wednesday. Pres. Nelson Burner indicated that this was the last of many dinners served by the Auxiliary and called for special recognition of the years of kindness during which they had provided dinners quarterly. The ladies were given an enthusiastic applause and the appreciation of the membership. During the roll call by Sec’y Jerry Curtis a request was presented by several unidentified persons for a change of name. It has been the long standing policy for each member to answer to an alias or pseudo name - thus “Crap Shooter” is the name of a very exemplary churchman. “Double Joint” is a character so named possibly because of an acrobatic ability or a law hazard in-, need of special handcuffs. There is “Good Looking” whose appearance before a clock might not actually stop it but it would have a definite tendency to - slow it. Anyway, the gentlemen who called for the attention of the chair, requested the name of “Coon Hunter” be changed to “Blind Horse”. The chair failed to Moofinizi the meivoT the icaueit and the matter was dropped summarily to lie unexplained. During the October meeting which coincided with the exhibition termed as the October 25 Moratorium, the Club passed a resolution backing Pres. Nixon’s “present Vietnam policy toward an honorable peace”. Vice-Pres. Edw. Lawrence read replies from Senators Harry Byrd, Jr. and William 0. Spong, Jr. and Representative John Marsh, who acknowledged the receipt of copies of this resolution as sent to the President and heartily approved the Club’s positidh. Keeping in step with the rising cost of food, raw products and the 6% plus increase in the cost of living the Club voted to advance the annual dues to $24.00. This increase of $4.00 will reflect a higher price per dinner and an increased revenue to those other civic minded clubs, which month after month have graciously contributed to holding the men On the Washington bypass aactlon of Rout* 211 a bridge la under construction over Rush River.

The reports of twelve other ligh voltage project chairmen lent i suitable background to that of John Gillespie, chairman of the Safety Committee. Gillespie outlined the months of planning md interviews which had been necessary to wrap up the final ipproval for five red warning signal lights to be installed on Rt. 211 to serve the Fire Dept. The intricate maneuvering to secure the approval of the Potomac Edison Co., the various officials of the Virginia Highway Dept., and the volunteer labor of the Amissville Fire Dept, was a success, completed only through much patience and persistence by Chairman Gillespie. The cost of this gift will be approximately $650 to the Ruritan Club with other portions of the expense assumed by the Potomac Edison and the volunteer labor by the Fire Dept, to a total value of $1500. The financing of this and other objectives will be through such profits as are realized from the Ruritan Ham and Turkey Supper April 4, the Ruritan Barbecue July 4 and a Horse Show during May. While some club objectives are of more modest proportions than others, the. diversity and solid character of this representative of Ruritan National are shown by the work of the Rural Church Committee whose plans call for church attendance in a body at different local churches and contributions to Daily Vacation Bible Schools. The Education Committee which nigh School a quantity of folders presenting a warning message to Students against indulgence in harmful drugs will also be giving needed funds toward a special High School project. Further outreach to the youth of the community is provided through baseball activity under thq management of R. B. Settle, and the Boy Scout Troop now searching for a qualified Scout Master.

LETTERS to EDITOR Editor Rappahannock News I have been asked by patrons of my office at different times as to how Castleton was named and when the Post Office was established here. I am enclosing two letters which give that general information. It seems that the mountain name has been changed several times, from : Giant Castle to Castle and then Castleton. Some of the old land records in the Clerk’s Office of Rappahannock County refer to the mountain as Giant Castle and I believe that the old county survey calls for a point on Hazel River near Giant Castle. Later in the years, the records refer to Castle Mountain and in the most recent years it is called Castleton Mountain. Maybe we should go back to the.old historic name Giant Castle. Anyhow, I hope this information will be of interest to the people of Castleton as well as others. Yours truly, Ray T. Cannon Postmaster Mr. Ray T. Cannon Postmaster United States Post Office Castleton, Va. 22716 Dear Mr. Cannon: We are replying to your letter of December 10 requesting information about the history of Castleton, Virginia. Raus McDill Hanson, in his “Virginia Place Names,” McClure Press, Verona, Virginia, 1969, gives us the following information, which he obtained from local residents. - “Castleton: Pop. 40, Near mid-point of southeast boundary of , county. Named for Castle Mbtintain.',,'pc!171 1 “Castleton Mountain,” instead of Castle Mountain, however, is shown on the U. S. Geological Survey Sperryville quadrangle map, scale 1:62,500. We are unable to find any information about the source of the mountain name. The Castleton post office was first established May 7,1878, and the first postmaster was James V. Wright. Should you wish any further information about the names of early postmasters, or possibly changes in the location or status of the Castleton post office, you may obtain this data . from the National Archives and Records Service, Washington, D. C. 20408. Sincerely yours, J. O. Kilmartin Executive Secretary Domestic Geographic Names Mr. Ray T. Cannon Postmaster Castleton, Va. 22716 The records of the Post Office Department in the National Archives show that a post office was established at Castleton, Rappahannock County, Virginia, on May 7, 1878, with James W. Wright appointed as its first postmaster. The records of the Post Office Department in the National Archives do not contain any information about the origin of the names of post offices. The practice has be£n for the patrons to furnish a list of names from which the name of the new post office was chosen by the Post Office Department. These lists and the petitions requesting the establishment of post offices are not among the records of the Post [Office Department in the custody of the National Archives and have probably been destroyed. Richard S. Maxwell Assistant Director Social and Economic Records Division Two Found Guilty In Park Violations Two men, Freddie Cantrell, 24, of 166 Garrison Road, Manassas, and Carl Cantrell, 30, of 139 Bull Run Road, Manassas, were found guilty of hunting in Shenandoah National Park by United States Commissioner Isaac R. Dovel, Jr., and fined two hundred dollars each. The Cantrell brothers were observed by Sergeant Anthony Rogers of the D. C. Metropolitan Police Department shooting at deer in Shenandoah National Park from Highway 211 near Panorama. Park Rangers were notified and the violators were located by a license number supplied by Sgt. Rogers. Investigation of the scene disclosed a dead doe lying in the woods. Although poaching activity appears to be down in the Park this year, Supt. Hoskins reports this is not the first doe found shot in the Park this fall; there have been several others. Ranger patrols have been greatly intensified and lengthened since the opening of deer season.

Several hunteri encountered by rangers in thi Park complained they had received information locally thai it was permissible to hunt in th< Park. Apparently, there is some confusion concerning the national forest and the national park. Hunting is permitted during the proper seasons on George Washington National Forest but is not permitted at any time in Shenandoah National Park. Supt. Hoskins states it would be very helpful when giving advice or directions to inquiring hunters to make certain they understand hunting is not permitted) in the Park. It will help the Park and may save the hunter from an expensive mistake. Today’s Woman Judy Burtner Extension Agent, Hpme Economics What’s Your Favorite Meat? Just about everyone is concerned about “image” these days — his own personal image, his company’s image, his family’s image, etc. But have you ever thought of meat as having an image? Don Long, economist at Virginia Tech says it does, since meat serves as the focal point of meal planning and meal evaluation. He says you choose the meat and then the “accessories.” You tend to rate how good a meal was by how good the meat was. To determine just what various homemakers’ opinions are on particular meats, the U. S. Department of Agriculture recently conducted a survey on the subject. To say the least, these results were interesting, said Long. They shed a lot of light on how we look at various meats, when we would serve them, their favorite points, and their less desirable characteristics. Beef was the favorite and had the most favorable image. It’s the meat we eat most frequently and the one we are most likely to serve for prestige purposes, although oven roasts drew preference over steaks for serving at guest meals. Chicken ran a good second to beef in terms of favorite opinion. Cured pork, especially ham, also had quite a favorable image. It’s a meat we’ll eat cold and fairly often. It considers strongly is a prestige meat. Oh the other hand, fresh pork, projected a less favorable Image. Some are likely to think it is hard to digest, maybe unsafe, or has more waste and poorer keeping quality. Of course, all of these are opinions or “images” of various meats. Some may be correct, other wrong. But each of us can check our own opinions, see how they compare with other peoples’ and make our own evaluations. DATES: Woodville Homemakers’ Group ..

Program... “Changes in Tax Forms and Deductions.” _ Someone nas saia that a man who hates dogs and children must have some good in him. I love both, does it necessarily follow that I have a lot of evil in me? I once had a cocker spaniel that loved me so much he would go into spasm of delight when I returned home. I still miss him. Have you ever had a small child come up to you and put his hand into yours and say, “I like you, mister.” I think I love all God’s creatures, especially dogs and children. Not necessarily in that order. Mean old me. Once I was talking to an older person and he told me he had always wondered why second generation children were called grand • then he had some of his own* I wonder if I would love these two more if they were my own. It is such a pleasure to have them come in and kiss me good bye when they go away, a nice repetition when they return. I love them, they love me - NICE. Have you ever heard of anyone being arbitrarily thrust into heaven? Well, I didn’t ask for this, but I am being rewarded here and maybe hereafter. “He who gives children treats Makes joy bells ring in heaven’s streets.

Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Harrison 'Mysterious’ Computer... Like a Washing Machine Editor’s Note: Hit computer, 11 unheard of a generation ago, is * an indispensable tool today. It ■, affects the typical American’s life in countless ways — from the food he eats to the national defense system that protects him. And the prospects for the future are staggering. The following is the first article in a series of three that will explore how the computer works. Other parts of the series will examine how the computer is being used and what the future holds. The computer today is veiled in mystery. Most people have never seen one, feeling it is an inscrutable “black box” whose inner workings can be understood only by the most highly trained. Actually the computer is a relatively easy machine to understand. It has three basic operational elements: input, processing and output. So, for example, does a washing machine. For the washing machine, the input is dirty clothes and detergent, the processing is the washing cycle, the output is clean clothes. Three Steps For the computer, input is a program — the step-by-step description of the task to be done— and data. Processing takes place when the computer uses the program to operate on the data to perform a multiplication, for example. Output is the solution to the problem. The computer * programmer must “tell” the machine precisely where it can find information, how to arrange it, and what calculations to perform. One powerful computer, the IBM System/360 Model 85, can multiply two 10 digit numbers at a rate of more than two million complete calculations a second — a task that would take a mathematician using and pencil! and paper about 38 years of non-1 ;top work; but, like all digital omputers, it performs this imazing work in terms of ones and zeroes. On and Off Computer components have mly two possible states, just as »n ordinary light bulb has two states—on and off. In computers, “on” represents a “1” and “off” represents a “0”. Various combinations of l’s and 0’s can be used to represent any* number or'letter. This use of two numeric symbols — zeroes and nnes — is the binary number system. (The familiar decimal system uses ten symbols — 0 through 9). At first glance, it would seem a system with only two numbers would really slow down the computer. But transistors and microelectronic circuits inside the computer permit it to handle information at lightning speeds with almost infallible accuracy. Computer Language Since a language barrier still exists between the user and the computer, information must first be coded into a language tht computer understands — like COBOL (COmmon Business Oriented Language) and FORTRAN (FORmula TRANslation), two of the most popular computer languages. These languages enable programmers to write instructions in words and symbols, which are translated by the machine into the ones and zeroes it understands. After it performs its operations according to the program’s instructions, the computer decodes the ones and zeroes back into letters and numbers. Output, too, comes in many forms — on punched cards, magnetic tapes and magnetic disks, via*t'ypewriter terminals or by a display on a cathode ray tube, I which! is similar to the picture tube m an ordinary television set. One of the newest forms of communication with the computer is the ordinary printed document. The Social Security Administration, for instance, uses a special optical character reader to speed the contents of documents prpared in over 200 type styles directly into computers.

As an employer, I am Interested in knowing if occupational (2-A) are still permissible under the lottery system? A. Yes. Q. If a local board has gone through the first 100 random sequence numbers in filling its call, what about the man whose number between 1 and 100 but who was not called because he was then deferred and later lost his deferment. A. He will not escape selection because each month local board starts back at RD number 1 to fill that month’s call, and proceeds forward through the list of numbers.

Mr. and Mrs. Braxton Janies attended the annual Catlett Mothers ’ March Volunteers on the Go All Year to Prevent Birth Defects Jane Wyatt, National Chairman of the Mothers’ March to prevent birth defects, has a timely message for everyone—particularly women: “Don’t get hooked on ‘harmless’ drugs.” Since 1963 the popular actress has been leading millions of dedicated volunteers in a crusade directed by The National Foundation-March of Dimes. Their goal is to end a severe national health problem that annually strikes some quarter of a million newborns. To hasten this day, women A marchers in all 50 states join 'v with Miss Wyatt each January to raise funds for this vital cause. Contributions help support 111 March iof Difrtes Birth De* fects Centers around the country, many of which are located at major medical centers and teaching hospitals. Throughout this network, programs of research, professional and public health education, patient care and community services are carried out in the care and prevention of birth defects. year, under Miss Wyadership, women who orbells and extend the ■amiliar envelopes will leave behind excellent advice about careless use of medications. Volunteers, many of whom belong to leading clubs and organizations, are distributing “Don’t Get Hooked on ‘Harmless’ Drugs!”, a pamphlet that warns against the devastating impact that misuse of drugs may have upon an unborn child. This att’s 1 rins Prenatal Care Emphasis It is certainly possible that heroin, speed, LSD, and the like can cause lifelong heartache if a pregnant woman indulges in them. But what about the so-called ‘harmless’ % drugs—aspirin, tranquilizers, nose drops, vitamins, ‘diet and cold’ pills?” Scientists are studying many drugs to determine whether they affect the fetus. For greater peace of mind during pregnancy, women are urged to observe a simple rule: Take no medication of any kind from the time you suspect you are going to have a baby. The exception, of course, is medicine recommended by a doctor who knows you are or may be ex MOTHERS' MARCH volunteers are active In March of Dimes community'service projects throughout the year. They march in January to raise funds which help support needed programs in the fight to prevent birth defects. pecting a baby. Information material, such as the pamphlet, "Don’t Get Hooked on ‘Harmless’ Drugs!” is an example of the importance which the March of Dimes places on the need for prenatal care. This theme is stressed in year-round public health education programs sponsored by the voluntary health organization. Miss Wyatt reports that the organization has launched prenatal care programs in more than 50 metropolitan areas and hundreds of smaller communities. These projects are done in cooperation witji public health departments and major women’s service organizations. In addition, civic and social clubs, religious and fraternal associations, youth groups and churches participate in special educational projects. Along with prenatal care programs, volunteers also are working closely with local public health departments and medical societies in many areas to encourage widespread use of new vaccines against rubella (German measles) and Rh blood incompatibility disease. Both are major causes of birth defects. Progress if} Prevention Other preventive methods used in the struggle against birth defects include genetic counseling and new techniques for diagnosing some defects in the unborn child. Surgery on newborn babies is becoming more and more successful in correcting life-threatening malformations. The task of preventing birth defects is still an awesome one, but concerned women throughout the country are making it possible for the March of Dimes to help children born handicapped lead happy, useful lives. “More important," says Jane Wyatt, “they are leading the fight to prevent birth defects from striking children yet unborn. They march to bring hope to future generations and help to those who need it now.” NOTICE O DOG TAGS DUE 1970 Dog Tags Are Due On or Before JANUARY 31, 1970 Certificates of Vaccinations Are Required For Purchase of Tags Prosecutions Will Begin February 1,1970 Jack W.

History of First Baptist Church The First Baptist Church of Washington, Virginia, is located on Main Street, about 325 feet from the comer of Wheeler and Main. This church was organized by Rev. George W. Homer in the year 1876 with 45 members, all of whom were baptized in Rush River the same day. Since there were no Negro churches in the' town, this group was allowed to carry on their worship services in the old church which stood on lot 41 on Wheeler Street. This lot was set apart, we are told, by one Mr. Wheeler for Christian worship and to be used forever for that purpose. However, the few members continued to hold their meetings in the above named church until Auto*18&Q they purchased a lot on Main Street from the Witzpatrick and Dear heirs, at a cost of 50.00 This lot was deeded to the following trustees: James Banks, Lewis call Saturday from her grandson Carlton Davis from Chicago.

The cost of this building was shared: one-third by the Rising Hope Lodge Grand United uraer oi uaa reuows, who maintained an assembly hall above the church. The architectural work was done by Mr. V. Veers. The comer stone was laid in 1881 by the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows Lodge from Luray, Va. This fete drew a large crowd from the adjoining counties, a free will offering was raised by each donor placing his bystander from Luray seeing all this money placed in the comer stone and failed to see the trustee remove it, but did see the stone placed in the building, thinking all the money was left in the stone, he came by night and removed the stone, but only found a few pennies. This church has had seven pastors: Rev. George W. Homer, Rev. Davenport, Rev. James S. Fields, Rev. James S. Woodson, Rev. D. H. Banks, B. D.; Rev. Isadora D. Richards and Rev. R. C. Davis.

Fields who would often walk from his home in Winston, Va., and back, donated a full year’s salary toward improvement on the church Under Rev. Banks’ reign, additional land was purchased from Mrs. A. Wood to enlarge the yard; ■ vestibule and bell tower were built, church lengthened 10 feet; choir room and pastor's study built and 1400 pound bell Installed. To finance all of this the church was forced to borrow a sum of money-before the loan was paid the pastor’s health broke down, there upon Mrs. Anna W. Green the church organist and choir instructor organized in the church and school a club, known as the Gold Star Mothers Club, which played a large part in liquidating this debt. This club still exists and is doing good work. Incidentally Mrs. Green organized a similar club In every school community while she was supervisor. Mrs. ureen was a county scnooi supervisor in charge of industrial classes in the graded schools. Under Rev. Richards, cathedral windows were installed in the church and electric organ Installed, and robes purchased for the choir. Under Rev.

Crumpton, district manager, the local social security office is 'SHjHSft?8 pertaining to Medicare. Following are samples of commonly asked questions with appropriate answers: Q: If I am well enough to go home from the hospital before using up the 60 days of benefits provided by hospital insurance, will Medicare continue to pay for my care if I want to stay in the hospital? A: No. Hospital insurance only pays for services that are medically necessary. The law requires participating j hospitals to have a utilization review committee made up of j physicians and other professional people. This committee reviews hospital stays at various times! and, in some cases, after consultation with your doctor, may find that there is no further need for hospital care. These provisions are not intended to deprive anyone of needed care, but rather to encourage the most effective use of hospital facilities by keeping down unnecessary hospital care.

Should I buy it or rent it? A: You can do either, but if you are considering purchase, particularly of expensive equipment, you should keep in mind that the Medicare payments are made over a period of time, based on the reasonable rental rate for the equipment. These peyments stop when your need for the equipment ends. So in deciding whether to purchase equipment, you may wish to talk to your doctor about how long you may need it. Your social security office can also help when you have any questions. Q: If I have been old enough but have not taken medical insurance under Medicare until this January thru March general enrollment period, when will my protection begin?

The runt, however, has about decided Tom Massie is. his mama for he follows him around constantly. Two are females and one a male. The chance of multiple births in Angus cattle is extremely rare.

Before Main Street was macadamized the church built a board walk from the comer of Wheeler and Main Streets to the church. The church in recent years has added a dining room which is furnished with tables and chairs. This was done during the tenure of the Rev. Kenneth Coleman. Presently the major project on hand is the repair of the church roof. Culpeper Hospital Notes Banner Year The year 1969 was the largest growth year in the history of Culpeper Memorial Hospital. According to L. B. Henretty, President of the Board of Directors, “the size of the Jiosoltal’s growth clearly, flW3tia*eO the iRTpbrtance !of rapidly carrying out the hospital’s planned expansion.” Mr. Henretty pointed out that of the 2,266 increase in patient days, 2,221 of these were Medical-Surgical (patients other than Obstetrical) which resulted in a percentage of occupancy in the Medical-Surgical unit of 93.4%, “and this clearly does not leave much room for growth in our present facilities.” Moreover, the growth rate is continuing, “through the first twenty-two days of January 1970, we have had 207 more'.patient days than the same period in January-1969. This is true in spite of the fact that January 1969 was a rather heavy month.” A patient day is defined as one patient in the hospital for one day. Mr. Henretty also announced that the annual meeting of the Culpeper Memorial Hospital Association will be held on Friday, February 6th at 8:00 p.m. in the Northern Piedmont Electric Cooperative Building on Route 29 and the public is invited.

Barksdale, Chairman of the Rappahannock County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation (ASC) Committee, that they have various choices to make. “This is especially true for producers who have both a wheat allotment and a feed grain base,“ he said. “A continuation of the substitution provision enables them to substitute wheat for feed grain or vice-versa -- but they must make their intentions to comply with both programs known and sign up accordingly. “The substitution • provision is only one of the several options open to farmers planning to participate in the 1970 voluntary f^rm programs. Diversion provisions of the wheat and feed grains programs should be considered. Farmers with small allotments of wheat or with small feed grain bases should also check out the provisions for small farms,” the *“ ASC Committee Chairman said. “ Sign-up period for the wheat or feed grain programs is February 2 through March 20 at the County ASCS Office. Mr. Barksdale urged careful study of the programs provisions between now and sign-up time. Explanatory leaflets on the programs have been sent to eligible participants. Extra copies are available at the County ASCS Office. Farmers wanting additional details or explanations are asked to phone or visit the County ASCS Office. Price-support payments wiU be made and price-support loans will be available to farmers who sign up in the wheat or feed grain programs and comply with the program provisions. (The price-support payment for wheat is in the form of domestic marketing certificates.) Diversion payments will be made to feed grain and wheat farmers who voluntarily divert more acreage than required for program participation. Wheat and feed grain farmers who choose not to participate in the voluntary farm programs will not be eligible for price-support loans, payments or marketing certificates. They may produce the crops without restriction, however.

Beginning January 1,1970, the Income level for this groqp will be $1700 tor the breadwinner, plus $500 for the first dependent, and $400 tor each additional dependent, rather than the originally-announced level of $2,000 plus $500 for each dependent. The change was recommended by the Governor’s Advisory Committee on Medicaid after hearing a report on first quarter operations, which indicated expenditures within appropriations but an initial enrollment about 25% above original estimates: Because of the financial implications of the higher enrollment, the Governor’s Advisory Committee recommended an intermediate step in moving into the medically-needy category; this action has been concurred in by the State Board of Health and the Governor. Medicaid was initiated in Virginia on July 1, 1969, with participation limited for the first six months to welfare recipients receiving money payment under one of the federal-state categories. At its meeting on October 29 the Department of Welfare and Institutions reported to the Advisory Committee that the number of welfare recipients had risen dramatically to 117,000 people, well above the 80,000-100,000 figure used as a basis for planning-for the first year’s operation. Rise in Local Pension Checks What will the new social security legislation, liberalizing pension rates, do for residents of Rappahannock County? How much more will they be receiving from Washington per year? What will the average payment be, compared with what it was last year? It is estimated that the change in retirement benefits, approved last month by Congress, will add approximately $103,000 a year to the amount that local residents have been collecting. The estimate is based upon the latest statistics for the county, released by the Social Security Administration. They show the reared ^ »ud ,disabled workers, as well as dependent relatives, on the pension rolls, anti the amounts paid them. All of them will be aided by the legislation. Those who have beer getting no more than $660 a year the minimum, will now get $759 The ones who were receiving $1,320 a year will go to $1,518. Those who have been at the $2,100 level will now collect $2,415. * What is the most that is paid*! Under the new schedule, a workei who has just retired at age 65 and has had maximum taxable earnings will now receive $2,278 a year if single. If married and his wife is 65 or older, their total will be $3,416. It is expected that there will be further revision in the social security laws sometime this year. In temporarily dropping the Senate’s call for a major increase in minimum payments there was a tacit understanding in Congress that this and other issues, left hanging, would be taken up in 1970. As of the beginning of last year, pension payments in Rappahanock County averaged $763 per year per recipient, the Social Security Administration reports. Under the new setup, they will collect approximately $877 on average. As for the total payments throughout the local area, based upon the number who were on the pension rolls at last count, they will amount to some $787,000 this year, a considerable rise over the prior total of $684,000.

Small Wood lots Seen As Important Factor How important are small woodland owners? There are about 15 million acres of woodland in Virginia. Only 20% is owned by industry and government. The remaining 80% is owned by small, private landowners. The wood products industry is the largest employer in Virginia. It employs 26% of all industrial employees, or 85,000 workers. The value of timber products on stumpage and manufacturing approximates $900 million dollars per year. If this industry is to continue, the small woodland owner must manage his woodlands. At present, pine, timber is being cut 15% faster than it is growing. Reforestation of cutover lands is below the acreage cut each year and site conversion is also lagging behind. The forest industries are here now. They do not have to be lured here as other industries have been. However, if they cannot get the raw material they need, then they must move elsewhere. This will mean an increase in tree planting, reforestation, site e o n * e tsiofltV' improvement and improvec cutting practices on all the smal woodlands. Livestock Report Virginia’s Commission of the Industry of Agriculture today announced the release of its livestock industry report, which projects an average increase of livestock income of almost 70 pei cent by 1980. This report is the first release in a series of task force reports resulting from Governor Godwin’s request that the commission make a comprehensive study of what the future holds for Virginia agriculture. According to R. S. Ellis, IV, of Mount Rush, Virginia, who chaired the livestock task force, this report gives information from the present to 1980, and includes the following highlights: * Farm units will continue to become larger. * Individual producers will market larger volumes of livestock at one time. "‘Small farm operations will continue, but only as a supplement to off-farm income. * All livestock (cattle, sheep and hogs) will be tailored to new consumer demand concepts. * Sheep farming will tend to become a separate enterprise rather than a supplement to cattle or other farm operations. * Home slaughter of hogs has virtually ceased, giving way to large-scale commercial production. .

Security Notes “Reporting wages of household •mployees continues to be a source of confusion to many,” Mrs. Hazel F. Crumpton, district nanager of the local social security office remarked recently. A recent letter to the local office contained the following question which brings out one of the issues many persons raise. “What I’d like to know is, what happens if I don’t make returns on my domestic at the right time? How would anyone ever find out?” Aside from the issue of “playing by the rules” a “statistic” that might be of interest in response to this query is this: Last year more than 21,000 delinquent household employers were tumeo up when former etv\ployee*~*ppuVd for retirement or disability benefits, or when the survivors of domestic workers filed for survivors’ benefits. In many of these cases, the investigations revealed that the employee had told the employer that she simply didn’t want to “join” social security. But when the employment ended the employee quickly applied for social security benefits, on the basis of this and previous jobs! Of course the result to be expected - the payment of taxes, plus penalties and Intenst for the employer for not making reports at the proper time m required by law. “Good heavens, me a lawbreaker?” Is not an unusual reaction when we get in touch with a housewife In such a situation. The startling fact Is that our answer must be, “Yes, you!” Not only that - but if you have a household employee whose wages are not being reported as required by the social security law, you are making It difficult or impossible for that employee to receive a monthly income while totally disabled, or after retirement, or for payments to be made to or on behalf of children or other survivors after an untimely death. Since employer’s reports for the 3rd quarter of 1969 are due after the end of October, this may be a good time to review the provisions of the law relating to the earnings of household workers. If you employ a “domestic” ind pay her (or him) a total of $50 or more cash wages in a calendar quarter, you must report the wages and pay toe social security tax on them. A calendar quarter is a three month period beginning with the flat day of January, April, July or October. Cash wages include cab fare, If paid in cash, but not room and board. The social security tax is 4.8% of the employee’s wages. The employer withholds this much from his employee’s wages, pays an equal amount himself, and sends a report with the tax payment to the Internal Revenue Service after the end of each calendar quarter. These reports of earnings are then credited to the individual employee’s account. Such earnings determine the worker’s eligibility for social security benefits and the amount of those benefits. Obviously, the earnings must be reported ~ and reported correctly -- if the worker is to receive credit on his social security record. “Should anyone in the area desire further information about this provision of social security, please feel free to contact the local office at 20 8.

Shows Increase in Phones The C&P Telephone Company noted a 74% increase in the number of telephones serving the Culpeper area during the sixties, according tp F. Wayne Dementi, local manager. As of January 1, 1960, there were 6,130 telephones in the area as compared with 10,683 at the end of 1969.
