German Measles Vaccine Clinic Scheduled Here Monday, April 27 *,The Glarke - Frederick - Page ■ Rappahannock Warren ■ 'Winchester Health District will participate in a massive assault on 3-day German measles, the killer and crippler of unborn babies. Dr. L. A. Dickerson, Health Director, announced today that there are 6000 children in the priority age group in these localities. Parents of children, kindergarten through third grade, will receive a permission form for each child which they must sign and return to school in order for the child to receive the immunization. Dr. Dickerson stated that over 175,000 Virginia children have received the new rubella vaccine in mass programs since December 1. The vaccine was licensed just last June after three-and-one-half years of thorough testing. Unfortunately the scientific name for German measles, rubella, is similar to the scientific name for old-fashioned 10-day measles, which is rubeola. Vaccine for old-fashioned measles has been available for a number of years. Dr. Dickerson commented that we are racing against the clock as health authorities say that a rubella epidemic could occur this year or next. The North Central Virginia Rubella Program is sponsored by the Health Departments and school systems of the Clarke - Frederick - Page - Rappahannock - Warren --Winchester Health District, with the endorsement of the state and local medical societies in cooperation with the National Foundation - March of Dimes and Immunization Activities, Virginia State Department of Health, The Rubella Immunization Clinic will be held in the Rappahannock Elementary School on Monday, April 27, 1970. This vaccine is available to all children from 5 years of age through third grade. Parents with children in this age group who are not in school and wish to receive the vaccine are requested to have them at the Elementary School no later than 1 p.m. on the 27th. It is necessary for the parent to give written consent and the form will be available at the school on that day. German measles (Rubella) vaccine should be given at least one month before or after other live virus immunizations so a child will not be eligible if he has had smallpox vaccination, polio or Rubeola (red measles) immunizations during the past month. Parents, please take notice that this is NOT the red measles vaccine. This Rubella vaccine has never been available here before.

Mrs. Frances Thornton of Sperryville operating a 65 Plymouth Valiant was making a left turn into the store area when a 66 Ford operated by Michael David Wood of Washington, D. C. attempted to pass. The Wood car struck the Thornton car in the rear. Damage was estimated at $250 to Wood and $150 to the Valiant by investigating officer, W. A. Buntin. At 3 a.m. on April 18 a single-vehicle crash occurred on Route 662 near Huntly. James William Jordan of Huntly operating a 68 Dodge lost control of the car on the gravel road and struck a bank. Damage was set at $300 and Jordan was charged with reckless driving by Trooper W. A. Buntin. Three vehicles were involved in a collision at 2:15 a.m. less than a mile east of Washington, Va. on Route 211. A 1963 Ford operated by Gloria Ann Brent of Washington, D.C. and a 1966 Ford operated by Coles Edward Kenney of Warrenton were traveling east. They were struck by a 64 Olds operated by James Robert Jackson of Woodville who was heading west. Jackson crossed the center of the highway and hit the oncoming cars. He was charged with reckless driving according to Trooper J. B. Willis. At 1 a.m. Wednesday morning on Route 522 a mile south of Huntly, Charles Edward Corder, Jr. struck a cow owned by J.A.B. ; Dahlgren. The damage was 1 estimated at $700 by Troopei 1 Willis who investigated. Elec. Co-op Officials Visit Ruritans A working illustration of a custom that has contributed greatly to the strength of this nation was evident at the Amissville Ruritan dinner meeting, and the subsequent community gathering last Wednesday. Cooperation was the theme of the evening. It was the totally American teamwork by three different groups which stood out so plainly - a reminder of everything from the historic barn raising to the many cooperative enterprises of today. Karl Marx as a founder of socialism, stated his life’s two main objectives were first, to wipe out belief in God, and second to eliminate free enterprise. However, there was little suggestion of either antidemocratic aim in this gathering that began with grace and prayer by B. Settle and ended in a harmonious discussion by members regarding their Northern Piedmont Electric Cooperative. Adding further to the character of this meeting were the ladies of the Baptist Church who served the homemade lemon pie and cream of turkey to club members before the arrival of their guests. The Northern Piedmont Electric has been holding a number of regional meetings and it was last Wednesday that the Ruritans agreed to host both the officials and the local members of the organization. Pres. Nelson Burner concluded a shortened business session and called upon T. C. Barron who introduced Johnson Coleman, Office Manager of the cooperative. Mr. Coleman with the assistance of William Cartel then showed the entire audience a film and slides which were educational regarding the work and advantages of an electric cooperative. The Northern Piedmont has 7000 member accounts receiving electrical current over 1600 miles of line. During the short business portion of the Ruritan meeting Chairman Charlie Priest reported a successful turnout for the ham and turkey supper but pointed out the ever increasing cost of those supplies which are not contributed. A reporj on the Horse Show to be held on May 23 advised that lists of classes are available and are being distributed by stores and sponsors taking space in the official program. Amissville Man Fatally Shot Waller Groves of Jeffersonton has been charged with the shooting death of Russell Thomas Haines, 35, of Amissville. The shooting occurred shortly after 1 a.m. Sunday morning in the home of Roy Jordan on Route 606 near Flint Hill. Groves is being retained in Rappahannock County jail. No date has been set for a preliminary hearing. Haines was shot four times with a pistol but the murder weapon has not been found. Groves apparently threw it away as he fled from the scene of the shooting. With the aid of the trained police dog, Groves was apprehended about 4:30 a.m. in a building nearby. An autopsy has been performed by the medical examiner in Richmond, but a report has not yet been released. A funeral service for Haines was held Tuesday. (Obituary inside). Sheriff C. K. Estes and Trooper J. B. Willis headed the investigation. Poetry Readings By Mrs. Douglas A program of readings from the poetry of Emily Dickinson will be presented at the Rappahannock County Library Friday evening, April 24th at 8 p.m. by Mrs. Helen Gahagan Douglas.

Delegate to the United Nations, star of stage, opera, motion pictures and lecturer on foreign policy and interpreter of American poetry. This program, sponsored by the Lifcpry, is open to all.

Funds collected thus far amount to $991.20; the county goal is $1500. The annual drive will end April 30, 1970. Honored for length of service at the Flint Hill Firemen’s banquet last Wednesday were Emory C. Russell and John S. Browning who have each served sixteen years as a member and officer of that volunteer organization. Mr. Russell served this tenure as fire chief and is presently serving as the treasurer.

RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At Washington, Rappahannock County, Va. Telephone: WASHINGTON 675-3349 MRS. SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Entered as 2nd Class Mall at the P. O. at Washington, Ya. Subscriptions (in advance) $3.00 in Rappahannock and adjacent counties; $8.60 East coast; $4.00 mid-west; $4-50 West. Letter To Editor To Whom It Concerns I am just about fed up with the Rappahannock busybodies who have nothing to do but spy on the public school driver education car. This includes those who have to map its progress from place to place and those who deem it necessary to inform Russell Brothers when they think it needs a bath! Number one, ladies and gentlemen, as the case may be, a student can learn to drive in a car with a few smudges just as well as without the smudges. What do you expect during the rainy season? Number two, what difference should it make as long as the students have the opportunity to learn under qualified instructors? . Number three, those qualified instructors work a full day under regular teaching contracts and then donate over 300 hours (not under contract) outside of school on their own time so that all the students within a given class will have the opportunity to learn to drive. They are paid much less than normal teaching wages per hour for work that is often twice as tedious. Wouldn’t Rappahannock be a much better place to live if all its busybodies donated that much time to the public’s benefit? Number four, the car is provided free of charge to the county by Russell Brothers, and as a favor to them, the car is taken to different places for advertisement purposes as well as the teaching purpose it serves. The students are given an opportunity to drive on a variety of roads in a variety of conditions thus increasing their driving knowledge and skill. For additional expenses the program incurs, the state pays the local school board $40.00 per student completed. So really the whole program costs the county little or nothing. And, in many instances, it makes the difference between someone’s son or daughter being an alive, safe driver or another number added to the state’s list of traffic fatalities. I really think you could direct your energies to more worthwhile causes for the betterment of your community than to look for trivialities. Phyllis Rees Rapph. Co. Workers Retiring Earlier In Rappahannock County, as well as in most other communities across the country, “non-work” is one of the fastest growing occupations today. Counted in the non-work class in the local area are those able-bodied males over age 14 NOTICE BUILDING PERMITS No buildiiig or structure which costs fivehundred dollars ($500.00) or more shall bo located, constructed, reconstructed, alt*i*d,'er'enlarged without first having obtained a Building Permit from the Zoning Administrator. The office of the Zoning Administrator is located in the Rappahannock County Courthouse, Washington, Va. and is open each Tuesday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. I who are neither working nor looking for work nor going to school. For the most part they are people who have acquired sufficient resources or financial backing to enable them to not-work, many of them at a comparatively early age. Although there are some shirkers among them who rely upon the rest of society to provide for them, the great majority are quite different. Because their funds, are adequate for their needs they don’t have to work and they don’t choose to do so. In Rappahannock County, the number of men in this non-work group is estimated, on the basis of statistics from the Department of Labor and the Department of Commerce, at about 420. Throughout the United States at the present time there are 8.5 million men in this non-work population. Of those who are over 65, three out of four have retired. The others in that age bracket are still working. The proportion of non-workers among those over 65 is 22 percent greater than it was in 1960. In Rappahannock County there are many more men who are over 65 and no longer working than there were ten years ago. At that! time the total was 214. I What do they live on? Outside of savings, interest, dividends and other income from investments that they might have, their main source of funds is from government “transfer payments”. These include social security benefits, pensions, the proceeds of life insurance policies, veterans benefits, unemployment insurance and the like. Because retirement has become easier, financially, the proportion of non-workers to workers has been rising. In the local area, on the basis of the latest figures, an estimated 25 percent of the male population over 14 is now in the non-school, non-work category. The comparable percentage in 1960 was 20. Elsewhere in the United States, the non-workers represent 14 percent of the total. NOW OPEN!

Without them, many flowers, farm crops, and orchards would disappear. At least 50 cultivated plants in the United States require insect pollination to survive, the National Geographic Society says. They include alfalfa, sweet clover, watermelons, apples, and cucumbers. TRAINED FOR SPECIALTY The hardworking honey bee may become a crop specialist Naturalists hope to develop a special strain of the insect to work exclusively on alfalfa blooms, The plant is almost wholly dependent on bees for pollination. The honeybee (Apis Mellifera) is uniquely adapted to gather and carry pollen and nectar. A long trunklike proboscis prospects for clover nectar. Millions of bristly hairs, some even jutting from the eyes, attract pollen dust. To obtain a tiny cargo of nectar, a bee visits hundreds of flowers. An energetic collector often averages 10 flights on good days. A trained observer watched one worker bring home 47 loads of pollen in a single day. An aerodynamic marvel, the honeybee can airlift a payload weighing almost as much as itself.

They earn foraging assignments after harsh apprenticeship as cell cleaners, nurses, builders, and guards. In contrast, the less numerous fertile male drones live a life of carefree luxury. Fed and pampered by their smaller sisters, they blunder out of the hive only on sunny days to join the young workers on practice flights or to take a sun bath. SEARCH WHETS APPETITE As a drone acquires strength and flying skill, he may cruise far above the trees, hoping to find a queen on her mating flight. His appetite whetted by the fresh air, lie soon returns to the hive to eat and rest until the next fine day. But a terrible justice descends on the luckless wastrels after a queen bee has mated with one. Njpped, abused, and starved by their former nursemaids, the terrified drones flee the colony or cower in comers where they are killed. Worker bees normally make about a fifth of the cells in a hive large enough for drones. Used as storage bins in the winter, they are emptied and cleaned in the spring. The queen gradually fills them with unfertilized drone eggs, and the life-death cycle starts again. The difference between a queen bee and an ordinary bee is largely a matter of diet. For the first two or three days, all newly hatched larvae are fed royal jelly-- a sour-sweet nutriment administered by nurse ants. After three days on the diet, commoners are switched to a honey and pollen formula. The queen sups on the royal fare for the rest of her life. visiting Roanoke this weekend for the annual state F.B.L.A. Conference. Danny is in competition for “Mr. State FBLA”.

Yelling Flies Announce Spring Washington -- This may be the most un-silent spring in 17 years. From the Mississippi to the Atlantic, much of the country will be buzzing to the love call of the 17-year locust. It can be one of the most awesome and overpowering noises in nature. Billions and billions of these large insects will dig open their individual ground burrows and crawl out some warm evening. They will be suddenly responding to a biological clock that ticks off one of the logest and strangest life cycles of the insect world. From late April in the southern states to early June in the north, the ground and trees will swarm with the scurrying insects, the National Geographic Society says. The 17-year locusts appearing this year are from widespread brood X; those of other years are more localized. Are Native Americans They are natives only of this part of the world. In 1633, the newly arrived Pilgrims of Plymouth, Massachusetts, were astonished one morning when they beheld “ a numerous company of Flies which were like for bigness unto Wasps or Call Us Far Sbengas Corp.

Indeed, they seemed to call out “Pharaoh, rnaaaa...roan; They are not locusts, but larmless cicadas who eat nothing ibove ground during their final >ix weeks of life.

Security Notes A very important part of social security is monthly benefits that are payable to the dependent parents of deceased workers, social security benefits payable because income was SEE US FOR CHRYSLER - PLYMOUTH INTERNATIONAL RUSSELL BROS., INC. U. S. HIGHWAY 522 FLINT HILL, VA PHONE 675-3646 due to death, disability or retirement. In the case of dependent parents benefits they are payable at age 62, to parents who were dependent upon a deceased son or daughter for at least one half of their support. Usually the one year period prior to the son or daughter’s death is used to establish how much support was furnished. However, if a son or daughter is determined to be under a disability by the Social Security Administration, the year prior to the beginning of the disability may be considered in determining the amount of support furnished the parents. A very important thing to remember is that anyone who feels he could qualify for monthly benefits as a dependent parent, should visit the social security office. Although a person cannot qualify for monthly benefits as a dependent parent until he is age 62, he should visit the social security office shortly after the death of a son or daughter. Any questions about parents benefits under social security can be answered by the social security office. The office Is located at 20 S. Cameron St., Winchester, Va.

Now Is Game Food Planting Time The gobblers are gobbling and bob whites are bobwhiting and all wild creatures are doing their Spring thing. As these birds and animals prepare to rear a new generation, hunters, landowners and all nature lovers should also prepare now to help wildlife this Fall and Winter. One of the best ways to help is by planting some seed producing plants which can be used by wildlife later on. Now available through your game warden or the Rappahannock Extension Office is some seed just for this purpose. This seed is a mixture containing, lespedeza, milo, millet, buckwheat, soybeans, cowpeas and rape. Each three pound bag will plant 1/8 acre. If planted in a narrow strip an eighth acre will extend a long way. These patches must be protected from livestock. Ideal locations are along grown up fence rows or other areas that provide natural cover. They should be near water. A strip along a small overgrown stream is perfect. If you don’t have a suitable location yourself maybe the landowner where you hunt News In and Around Woodville Mrs. June Clark Mr. Mid Mrs. Earl Hisle of Washington, D.

Those small corners or ends of corn or wheat fields that are avoided because equipment can’t get to them, could serve a grand purpose if sowed in bird food. Now is the time to get these places worked up. Seeding should wait until about the middle of May. The Game Commission mixture is somewhat limited. However, everyone interested should be able to get several bags. Anyone who will plant it is welcome to it. Farmers who have land in the diverted acreage program might consider clipping that acreage right now. I have the word from the ASCS office that this will satisfy the clipping during the growing season requirement of the program. By clipping now, and right now, you would avoid breaking up any nests and then this Fall you could leave it, which would provide some food and cover for wildlife.

S. Barksdale, Chairman of the Rappahannock County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation (ASC) Committee said. Ponds have gained this reputation by helping to cut down the flow of silt from farmlands into streams, lakes, and rivers. Mr. Barksdale explained that water running off farmlands during storms can carry large amounts of silt and other pollutants. He said farmers use a number of techniques to slow down this water flow. Such measures as building terraces, constructing sod waterways, and plowing across a slope rather than up and down it have proven effective in reducing sedimentation of ponds and streams. Farm ponds catch and hold a portion of the runoff water and thus slow down its erosive effects. Ponds throughout the county have a capacity for holding tremendous amounts of water, thereby, alleviating flooding and silt damage to downstream crops, highways, bridges, and homes. Nationally, farmers and the Federal Government have shared the cost of building more than 2 million farm ponds during the past 34 years through the Agricultural Conservation Program (ACP). Farm ponds provide other benefits that often extend beyond the farm on which they rare located. Many of these ponds are designed to supply water for livestock. They may also be constructed to store irrigation water, for the benefits of fish and wildlife, and to provide water for fire fighting. ANSWERS 1.

These ire the dates for the tournament. Prizes valued in excess of &5,000 await lucky anglers who and big fish. The top category is ;he largemouth bass class, a fish tor which the lake is noted. The winner cops a boat, motor and trailer. Five other bass anglers will receive fishing tackle for their efforts. Prize muskellunge catches have been made in the lake the past few seasons, and these big fish have been moved up to the 2nd category. The top angler gets a High Point Subdivision lot on the lake. Those who place second and third win fishing tackle. Crappie fishermen will have their day also with the top man receiving a 5-day vacation for two at modem Sportman’s Inn. Three other crappie fishermen will receive fishing tackle. Smith Mountain smallmouth bass are not as abundant as their bigmouth cousins, but the waters produce good bronzeback catches. Four smallmouth enthusiasts will be awarded fishing tackle. And three anglers will receive fishing tackle for brown and rainbow trout. These fish do not spawn in the lake, but the put-and-take program has produced some interesting trout fishing. A final prize for $100 in merchandise goes to the angler who travels the greatest distance to participate. The winner last year was Melvin Cox of Kodiak, Alaska.

Six who proved themselves experts hailed from Roanoke and four frop Lynchburg. Others came from Blacksburg, Altavista, Danville, Salem, Martinsville, Radford $pd Lafayette. J. A. Hamlett of nearby Rocky Mount landed t^ie biggest fish, a 13-pound, 12-ounce musky, but Ed Conner of Spencer was close behind with an 11-pound, 10-ounce muskellunge. Other top fish were a 1-pound, 7-ounce crappie, a 4-pound, 10-ounce smallmouth bass and a 2-pound, 1-ounce rainbow trout. Smith Mountain Lake is still young and the fish have had another year to grow. Some real trophies should turn up this year. No Meat Contest Bob Price, president of the sponsoring Optimist Club of Cave Spring, is quick to point out that this is no meat contest. A big stringer of fish will earn the angler nothing but a brush with the warden if he goes over his limit. Nor is there a reward for total pounds — unless they are wrapped up in a single trophy fish. The official weighing station will be located at Saunder’s Marina near Moneta. Entry blanks may be obtained by writing the Optimist Club c/o Olympic Sport Shop, 2825 Brambleton Ave., Roanoke. Soc. Security Notes Social security payments to a 23-year old youth who has never worked? There are many such cases, says Mrs. Hazel F. Crumpton, social security district manager in Winchester, Va. Gerald Nees, of Terre Haute, Indiana, is a typical example. Paralyzed from a diving accident at the age of 15, he was supported by his parents. Then he learned to draw-using a brush held in his mouth. He was good enough to sell some of his paintings. But he still needed financial assistance from his father. In 1961, however, his father suffered a disabling heart attack. Mr. Nees was eligible for social security disability payments-and so was Gerald, because his disability had begun before he was 18. „ More than a quarter of a million people receive monthly social security benefits because they suffer from severe disability which began in childhood, according to Mrs. Crumpton. “Persons disabled since childhood are eligible ro receive social security benefits if a parent who has worked under social security retires, becomes disabled, or dies,” she explained. “These payments can mean a great deal to the recipients and their families,” she stated. She qited as another example a 29-year-old man, mentally retarded since birth, whose parents were killed in a car wreck. “One of his sisters wanted to take him into her home,” Mrs. Crumpton stated, “but she and her husband couldn’t afford the extra expense. However, his sister learned he was eligible for childhood disability benefits because their father had worked under social security. The social security payments enabled the sister and her husband to take care of her brother in their home. These payments meant the difference between care at home and life in an institution for this young man.” “It’s not necessary for a person disabled since childhood to have worked under social security, since his benefits are paid on the basis of his father’s or mother’s social security record. “Normally a child receiving payments based on his parents’ work record would stop receiving checks at age 18 if he was not in school, or at 22 if he stayed in school and did not marry,” Mrs. Crumpton went on. “However, a child’s payments may continue indefinitely or start at any age if he has a severe physical or mental handicap which began before 18 and which will keep him from working as an adult. Nearly 65 percent of those receiving childhood disability benefits are mentally retarded.” Childhood disability benefits are just one of the ways social security works to provide protection for young people,” she stated. “Social security provides financial protection for young families in case the worker dies or becomes disabled. When a worker of any age dies, retires, or becomes disabled, his unmarried children under 22 years of age may be entitled to social security checks,” she added. “Social security is not just a program to retire on; it offers financial protection to the young as well.” Game Law Proposals . You may have noticed the proposed changes in the game laws affecting Rappahannock County published in last week’s paper. Here briefly is what they mean to us locally. The proposal on quail simply means it will be legal to hunt quail with snow on the ground. In the past the snow regulation has been left on quail to give them added protection during a period when they were suffering the natural hardship of impaired movement, difficulty in finding food and grit, and the extreme cold that accompanies snow. Also on the snow, quail are more easily taken by predators both natural and human. I don’t see where these conditions have changed. duu anu a guuu uug ina^t* lur some wonderful hours, but whether over a dog or just kicking him up “ole Bob” should at least have the advantage of hiding and then s scaring the wits out of you. The bag limit on deer will be the same, one a year, either sex the last day. The regulations on fox remained the same in Rappahannock. A proposed change on the trapping season would make the season on mink, muskrat, opossum, and raccoon from December 1 through the last day in February. The season had previously been until March 10. There is proposed a season on pheasants statewide. It would be for the third Monday in November and the day following. That would be the first two days of our regular season this side of the Blue Ridge. You could take one cock bird a day and they would have to be checked by a checking station or game warden. The reasoning is that as with turkey gobblers, the male birds can be cut down without affecting reproduction next Spring. It is also hoped by checking the birds killed some data as to age, reproduction, etc. can be obtained. Raccoon season wil) remain the same in Rappahannock. It was hoped that a proposal would be made to get our season to match that of Madison and Fauquier. Hopefully, next year the coon season can be made the same for H.

Rt 522 By*Paaa wnen i was mucn younger ana was dabbling in philosophy, my teacher told me to put a pad and pencil by my bed: that some of our best thoughts came to us in that manner and we might want to record them. Well, the other night I was thinking of a former pastor and his ability to remember the names of his flock. He was loved by all the men and possibly by some of the women, I couldn’t say. Some did, say. There was a widow that was the church secretary at that time. She was old enough to be the pastor’s mother, but she was a beautiful woman. She could have been an advertisement for youth cosmetics. Gossip? Oh yes. Then we hired a new secretary, a widow of an army officer who was killed in WW2. She needed the job, she had a young son to support. She was not as pretty as the first lady but so much younger. Gossip? Oh my yes. It was not long after this that the Lord called our beloved pastor to another field, and at almost twice the salary we were paying him. That church has never had a pastor that compared with this man since. “How great a fire a little flame can kindle.’’ While I was wooing the muse these thoughts came to me ■ Don’t you think it’s awfl’y sad That all you hear ’bout others is bad? I’ll tell you something (I don’t think it’s true) I just heard something good about you. re -ii Today’s Woman Judy Burtner Extension Agent, Hone Economies Mildew Removal Many regulations regarding the use of certain chemicals for home use have been changed. Therefore, the Extension Publication MI 42, “Removing Mildew Stains From Walls”, has been discontinued. For the present, this recommendation will suffice in the removal of mildew from wall surfaces. 1) Get rid of any damp soil and/or any heavy vegetation which may be keeping walls damp and may be encouraging mildew. 2) Scrub surface with this solution then rinse with clean water. Let surface become completely dry before applying new paint. [5 gal. water, 3 oz. trisodium phosphate cleaner, and '4 pt. household ammonia] 3) Check with any reputable paint dealer for commercial products containing mildew retardants. all counties in the area. A season of September 1 to March 31 has been proposed for all counties that have been open all year. If passed this will affect Culpeper County. Squirrel season will be from October 1 - 14 and then again during the general season. A change concerning turkeys would allow the taking of three turkeys a year after July, 1971. Gobblers only east of the Blue Ridge, one hen west. A new regulation would allow fishermen on the Rapidan and Staunton rivers in the Fish-for-Fun area to fish year around. All of these regulations are now in the proposed stage. They will be either passed or rejected at a meeting in Richmond on Friday, May 1, 1970. <#> HEADQUARTERS for Orchard Chemicals We aasintain complete Inventories and will deliver to your farm.

Hat 76 Business Firms How many business firms are there in Rappahannock County? How many people do they employ? How large is their payroll? The answers to these questions are contained in a new tabulation of the nation’s business population--county-bycounty-made by the Census Bureau in collaboration with the Department of Health, Education and Welfare. Given in the report, for each section of the country, are comparable figures on the number of local businesses engaged in retail trade, manufacturing, wholesale trade, finance, insurance, services and other branches of industry. It shows that Rappahannock County, for its size, is well-equipped with business establishments, with a total of 76 in which one or more persons are employed. Of this number, 48 have 3 employees or less, 19 have from 4 to 7, and 6 from 8 to 19. The figures indicate that small and medium-size concerns predominate in the local area, just as they do in most other parts of the country. These firms, which provide gainful employment for 518 men and women in jobs covered by social security, constitute the backbone of business in the county. Not included in the total are self-employed people, farm help, domestic workers and those in Federal, state or local government employ. Salaries and wages for workers in Rappahannock County who are subject to social security have also been on the rise. The local payroll has reached an annual figure of $2,028,000. New businesses continue to spring into being in the local area each year as venturesome persons, anxious to be on their own, strike out for themselves. Some have done so by obtaining franchises from companies which will, for a price, set them up in business to market the firms’ goods o* services. Their success is far from guaranteed. The mortality among newcomers In Industry, especially In the first five years, is high Enough of them do succeed however, to make the risk seerr worthwhile to many people. Social News Mrs. Gladys O.
