About 4,500 fish have been put in the Rush River, North Fork of the Thornton River, Piney Branch and Hughes River. Stocking of the trout which average 12 inches with some up to 16 inches took place early in March. Regulations are the same as in the past on these streams. 12 noon starting time, any type of bait is legal, attached td a single hook, on a single line. Treble hooks are legal only if they are part of a manufactured lure, such as a spinner. The daily limit is 8 with no size limit. It is illegal to fish in trout stocked waters after obtaining the daily creel limit. In neighboring Madison Coupty the Rose, Robinson and Hughes Riven and Garth Run have been stocked and are subject to the same regulations as Rappahannock County streams. These streams were also stocked with Rainbow and Brooks. License requirements on all trout stocked streams are a county or state resident license or non-resident state license plus a special trout license. A three day trip license is not valid in trout stocked watem. Anyone who wishes to fish in the Park only may obtain a Shenandoah National Park license from the Park or from the Madison County Clerk’s office. On the subject of licenses, a license is required of all youngsters as soon as they tum 16. Resident children under 16 need not have a regular license or trout license. Non-resident children under 16 are required to have licenses as adults unless they are accompanied by a valid license holder. More and more use is being made of the three day trip license which is available to both residents and non-residents for $1.50 and is valid in all but trout stocked waters. Hite is a good buy for summer visitors. You can t>uy them in advance and get any three consecutive days you desire.

He urges anyone purchasing tags to be sure and have the application card filled out before presenting it to the agent. Indications are that the remaining 15 days of tag sales will be extremely heavy and the public is asked to secure tags as soon as possible to avoid a last minute rush. Midnight April 15 is the deadline for displaying 1969 tags, and no extension is allowed. State tags are purchased in Rappahannock County at Sperryville Comer Store and hours are daily 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and from 8 a.m. until noon on Saturday. There is ample parking at the rear of the store. Rappahannock County auto tag sales are also running behind, said Robert L. Brown, Treasurer, who handles this. A windshield sticker is being used in this county this year for the first time. Sales stood at slightly over 400 as of Monday. Before county tags can be purchased, personal property taxes must be paid and declaration of personal property for 1969 must be made with the Commissioner of Revenue, Mrs. Roberta Spalding. She will stamp the registration card signifying this has been done.

NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At Washington, Rappahannock County, Va, Telephone: WASHINGTON 675-SS49 MRS. SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Entered u 2nd Clean Mall at the P. O. at Washington, Va. ' Subscriptions (in advance) $3.00 in Rappahannock and adjacent counties; $3.50 East coast; $4.00 mid-west; $4.00 West. What’s Happening In Education By Kenneth W. Stanley “It’s the most interesting placi in town.” Strangely enough schools are places where thL comment is rarely heard fron students. Herbert Jackson, Principal ol the Beloit-Tumer Middle Schoo in Wisconsin asserts thai traditional schools, inadequate materials, programs and method are at fault. “Doors,” hi indicated, “lock a kid’s mind. The moment he walks into i classroom he has about eighteer by thirty feet, and that’s it. Hi can’t move. If we’re going to give kids . the right to think anc explore, and discover, they have to be in a building where the> have freedom to move, freedom to think. Movement and thinking go hand in hand.” his implication is clear-schools should be adequately supplied with both space and instructional materials in order that such an “activity” program based on modem learning theory would be possible. Yet, in most schools, students “sit in rows of five, existing from bell to bell, regurgitating answers, waiting for the next relief,” writes Peter Schrag in a recent article-hardly an atmosphere for effective teaching or learning. He states that, “the mindless lessons, the memory and boredom, and the stultifying order of cafeterias and study halls-no talking, sit straight, get a pass-need not be described again.” Dr. Rolland Caiaway .of the University of Wisconsin asserts that, “When we enforce rules of quiet conformity on students, we foist behavior patterns on youngsters in our schools which we, as adults, would not live with.” Yet, apparently this is the type of schools that adults desire in their communities. According to a recent survey, conducted by Dr. George Gallop, a majority of adults equate “quality education” in a school with the strict discipline. However, what person who has taught in public schools has not noticed the eagerness of first grade students and the despondency of many of these same students just three years later? According to Dr. Milton E. Akers, Executive Director for the National Association of Young Children, a cnua aoesn i nave to leave school to drop out. Neither does a youngster’s continued attendance at school indicate that he is learning the things we want him to learn.” Fortunately, there are schools ' which have taken the first critical 1 look at what schools should be 1 attempting to accomplish. The 1 Beloit-Turner Middle School in , Wisconsin was founded on the idea that schools should design 1 programs and budget according to what is known about human 1 development and behavior in children, rather than on what is expedient for a faculty, administration, or community. The program in this school assumes that, “early adolescents need an active, social school environment, where they can be deeply involved in questioning who they are and in exploring the nature of their relationship to every other thing.” This school considers' that students in the Junior High grades are not ready to confine their study to “separate, highly organized courses”. Rather, the emphasis is on knowledge of immediate relevance to the students which will help them develop individual interest, values, and attitudes. The school is characterized by wide-open space with few walls, learning activities which allow movement of the students and do not confine them to a single desk and classes of various size which meet for differing lengths of time. One student said of the school, “You can’t help but learn more-there are many things to do.” The Beloit-Tumer School, appears to be succeeding in providing a well-rounded program geared to the needs of its’ students. Many public schools and communities, on the other hand, appear to be oblivious to the needs of half their students who will not go to college or who fail to learn basic skills such as reading. Pt Henry Ii$vj«H' pf Sftiftrd University, indicated in a recent article that,“The basic flaw that characterizes an educational system is that if students are not learning in a particular school, there are qo direct incentives to change the situation. Principals and teachers get pay increases on schedule. In short, accountability is a missing ingredient in our schools and must be remedied by an approach that rewards success and penalities failure, just as other organizations do.” The implication seems clear - THIS SPACE CONTRIBUTED BY THE PUBLISHER AS A PUBLIC SERVICE A mouse has already been saved from leukemia. Help us save a man. For years, you've been giving people with leukemia your sympathy. But sympathy can't cure leukemia. Money can. Give us enough of that, and maybe well be able to do for a man what has already been done for a mouse. v* ». X vl " * American Cancer Society f * .:i {"* community leaden, governing bodies, and educators, must jointly explore the type ol schools and programs its’ students need. The other alternative is that half the students in any school will not achieve minimal skills necessary for successful and responsible living in our rapidly changing society.

Census Preview of Rappk. in 1970 What will the upcoming census reveal regarding the social and economic changes that have taken place in Rappahannock County in the last 10 years? What shifts have occurred in family size, median age, educational level, living conditions and per capita income? The Government will be seeking the answers to these and other questions in the 19th Decennial Census, beginning April 1st. This national stock-taking is considered imperative for proper planning by all levels of government and by business. The findings will serve as a guide for needed changes and future development. No radical surprises are expected to be uncovered by the census. Local, state and federal agencies, as well as private organizations, have kept abreast of most changes through various surveys and studies made in the 10-year period. Rappahannock County’s figures will show, for one thing, a shift in the population structure, according to unofficial estimates. About 12.5 percent of the population will be found in the over-65 bracket, compared with 11.5 percent in 1960. Also, because of the big increase in the proportion of young people, the median age of the local population will be about 1.9 years lower than in 1960, when it was 28.9. The “natural increase” in the Rappahannock County population, which is the excess of births over deaths, will come to [approximately 3.5 percent, based upon preliminary figures. A definite jump will be recorded, also, in educational attainment, meaning years of schooling acquired by people who have reached age 25 or over. It will average 1.4 years more than in 1960, when the median was 7.0. The census will show that the Incomes of local resident! advanced considerably in the decade, although buying powei did not improve proportionately, due to inflation. The latest figures indicate an average per capita income of $1,580 in the local area, after taxes, compared with $768 per capita in 1960. Most families will have to fill out only 23 questions on the forms they will receive and mail them back. From one family in four, more information will be sought. Del. Gibb’s Support On Farm Bills Commended Delegate Duncan C. Gibb of the 28th House District has been cited by the Virginia Farm Bureau for his support of Virginia’s agriculture during the 1970 session of the General Assembly. “I especially thank you for your affirmative vote on the passage of HB 630, HB 422, HB 911, SB 304, SB 305, SB 306, and SB 307,” said Walter C. Ayers, VFBF Director of Public Affairs, in a letter to the legislator. “All of these are measures which will contribute to the continued advancement of Virginia agriculture.” Ayers was referring to legislation enacted by the 1970 General Assembly which would restrict the exemptions contained in Virginia’s bonding law covering producer dealers, establish a naximum ceiling on flue tobacco warehouse charges, increase the retethie rtfisCd bytobaccoftthneTs* for' financing''fheir’ownresekicK' and promotion programs, amend Virginia’s fertilizer law and garbage feeding law, allow Virginia to enter into pest control compacts with other states, and grant the VDA authority to take immediate action on new noxious weeds. Ayers aiso commenaea tne legislator for the General Assembly’s support of funds to establish a program at Virginia’s two medical schools designed to train family physicians, and the passage of a resolution providing for study of the problem. “Our people have long been concerned about this problem and are pleased with the action taken,” said Ayers.

Moments before the Jocelyn-C’s transmitter went silent, the captain reported, “They're lowering their guns on us.” As the American boat and the Cuban craft traveled the 140 miles from the point of the reported boarding to La Isabela, Cuba, the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter STEADFAST watched off shore. The cutter remained outside Cuba’s three mile limit until it was later notified that the seized American vessel and its crew had been released. A spokesman for the State Department In Washington, D. C. was reported to have commented that the Cubans must have thought they had captured another "Pueblo”. Fireman Apprentice Wood, son of Mr. and Mn. Charles B. Wood formerly of Flint Hill, now of Blacksburg, was bom in Warren County Hospital on April 21, 1960. He lived with his parepts and two older sisters, Amenta and Ruth, in Flint Hill until he reached the age of three. His most vivid recollection of life in Flint Hill is of going to a Fireman’s Carnival, getting separated from his parents, and “being lost in a sea of people!’’ Shortly after this incident, his family moved to Blacksburg, Va. where he grew up. He graduated from Blacksburg High School in June, 1969 and enlisted in the United States Coast Guard the following September for a four year tour of duty. Wood received basic training at the U.S. Coast Guard .Training Center at Cape May, N. J. Operating under the U. S. Department of Transportation, the Coast Guard trained Fireman Wood in military customs and traditions, seamanship, military drill, swimming and weapons training. Aboard ship he takes an active part in air-sea search and rescue, Merchant Marine inspection and ocean weather station patrols, patrol of oceans, rivers and harbors wherever American men or craft may be operating; as well as cooperating with Customs and other Federal agencies in law enforcement on the high seas. Fireman Wood’s first official assignment in November 1969 following basic training was duty aboard the STEADFAST. It is a sleek 210-foot sea-going “first aid station and police patrol” craft powered with twin diesel turbine engines and equipped with the most up-to-date electronic devices available. It boasts a landing deck for helicopter air-sea rescue work. The one year old ship is completely self-contained with living quarters and air-conditioned facilities for a crew of approximately 30 men and has erasing capacity of up to two weeks without having to touch land. Wood’s particular work aboard ship is concerned with the operation and maintenance of equipment in the ship’s engine room. The ship is on call at all times to go on search and rescue missions to aid any and all types of sea-going craft that happen to be in distress. Wood relates his very first mission as one of note: at 11:30 one night, the alert for a rescue mission was given. A fishing vessel in the Gulf of Mexico had been reported missing. Fireman Wood’s ship immediately got under way, traveling at top speed, in turbulent seas, to the approximate area where the fishing boat was supposed to be. With deft radar techniques the STEADFAST crew located the lost craft which had experienced engine trouble and lay walloping helplessly in high seas. Its crew consisted of three deaf mutes, unable to communicate by radio, who made their living by fishing. Their families and friends in their home port had alerted the Coast Guard when their boat did not come home at the end of the day. Wood and his shipmates did their good deed for the day by towing the fishermen home. Fireman Apprentice Wood expects to remain with the STEADFAST until he receives promotion to Fireman • an accomplishment requiring effort of several months after which he plans to apply for admission to the Coast Guard’s school of Engineering at Yorktown, Va. The home port of his ship is at St. Petersburg, Florida. Friends in Rappahannock County will be interested to know that Burrell Wood attends a church in St. Petersburg that is served by the Rev. and Mrs. Marion E. Sliger who lived in the county and served Baptist churches here in the early fifties. Wood has been a frequent visitor in the home and church of Rev. and Mrs. Sliger and their son, Lester.

Hardin said final payments to farm program participants in 1970 will be made as soon as possible after July 1, according to a U. S. Department of Agriculture announcement received by H. S. Barksdale, Chairman of the Rappahannock County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation (ASC) Committee. Payments are expected to be completed as much as two months earlier than in previous years. ASC Committee Chairman Barksdale said the speed-up in payments is in recognition of the extreme financing problem faced by farmers and is very welcome news. He predicted that most of the 1970 crop payments - about $3.3 billion nationally - will be made to farmers in July or August. These payments will amount to about 10 million dollars in Virginia. “Last year in Rappahannock County, feed grain and wheat payments were not completed until about Septemner. This change will make quite a different,” he said. xiTha. speed-up applies |q all payments to participants in the voluntary farm programs-feed grain and wheat marketing certificates, and payments for voluntary diversion to feed grain and wheat. The USDA announcement stated that arrangements are being made to accelerate preparatory work in order to issue approximately four million sight drafts to producers as rapidly as possible. It said the early payment operation will be consistent with good program administration and will be subject to appropriate Congressional funding action. Mr. Barksdale pointed out that the early payment operation will also depend on producers certifying compliance with program provisions somewhat earlier than in the past. “I’m sure we will have good cooperation from Rappahannock County producers in this,” he said. Farmers who are in the programs must certify the exact acreage they have planted to the program crops and the exact acreage diverted. Certification means that a farmer has complied with the program provisions - not that he Intends to comply. When he certifies, that means his acreage on that day is exactly what he certifies it is. For some farmers, early certificatioh may mean they will have to move some of their work up a little ahead of what they planned. The big news at the moment is that final farm program payments for 1970 are expected to reach farmers during July and August. Call Us Far Shengas Carp. Phone ME4-3556 Front RopmLVmi Today's Woman Judy Burtner Extension Agent, Hosts Economics Do you have any knowledge of chemistry? You should have, mainly for your own protection ind safety because most cleaning products today are chemical compounds. They are usually divided into two groups: Alkalis and Acids. This article will deal with Alkalis. Next week’s will be written about acids. Probably the best known alkalis for household cleaning are baking soda and ammonia. Other common alkalis are borax, tri-sodium phosphate (TSP), washing soda (sal soda), and lye. Alkalis are very effective in removing a heavy accumulation of dirt without rubbing. They work especially well to remove grease because they react with it to form an emulsion. An emulsion is a mixture in which m — wWww mm mrm ww only solid products are held in suspension and will not separata from the rest of the liquid. The greasy particles thus held In suspension will not be deposited again on the surface you are cleaning. Alkalis can be harmful when not used properly. Very strong alkalis can severely bum the skin and eyes and if swallowed, cause internal injuries or death. Because alkalis readily remove oily dirt, they also take oil from your hands as you work. For this reason, many people prefer to wear water proof gloves while cleaning. Alkaline cleaners also take oil from linoleum and oil base paints, drying them and causing them to crack or peel. Concentrated doses of these cleaners can loosen paint surfaces that you only aimed to clean. Another disadvantage of alkalis is their tendency to darken aluminum surfaces. In many cases, you can prevent harmful results by using a mild alkaline solution. Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate. When mixed with water it can remove coffes and tea stains from china and plastic dishes. Baking soda car also clean glass, wall tile anc porcelain enamel. Household ammonia is a dilute mixture of 5 to 10% ammonia gas in water. It can be used in cleaning kitchen range burners and ovens, windows, and mirrors. A sudsy type of household ammonia, which looks slightly cloudy or milky, contains a small amount of soap or detergent. This type of ammonia can be used in cleaning garbage pails, kitchen range burners and sinks. Borax is a white crystalline powder. You can use it in a variety of household cleaning jobs such as washing walls, woodwork and sinks. Tri sodium phosphate (TSP) is also a crystalline powder. It is an effective cleaner for walls, woodwork and resilient floors, except linoleum. Washing soda, also called sal soda is sodium carbonate. One use is for cleaning greasy kitchen range burners. Lye is sodium hydroxide, also called caustic soda. It can severely bum your skin. If effectively contributes to some drain and oven cleaners.

TONKA Warren Paint & Supply Company 415 East Main St. PRONT ROYAL, VIRGINIA A lady called a few days ago and wanted a copy of the following prayer. “God grant us the serenity to accept the things we cannot change, the courage to change the things we can, and the wisdom to know the difference.” In our discussion as to changing things, I told her that if we all bad the ability to change things to suit our individual whims, the world would be a sad place in which to dwell. A change that would suit one person would be contrary to another person’s desires. Don’t you think it is time that our national leaders recognize the fact that we, as a nation, cannot dictate to the world just what each nation is to accept. We have meddled so much we have made more enemies than friends. The from a message given by a Layman who came all the way from Fredericksburg, was well worth their trip to Red Oak.
