c VA. STATE LIBRARY RICHMOND 19, VA. 23219 / 1 1 ==**5 Volume XXI. Number 34 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA .. “THURSDAY, JULY 30, 1970 10c Copy A barn on the farm of L. H. LuttreU at Amissville was destroyed by fire Tuesday night. The fire was discovered by G. H. Dennis and at that time the flames were lapping at the eaves of the building. As the roof fell in, above, the scene resembled a gigantic display of fireworks. Any attempt to save the barn were futile, however Amissville firemen kept other buildings nearby hosed down and avoided further damage. Lightning was the apparent cause of the blaze. There was about 300 bales of hay lost. All that remains of L. H. Luttrell’s bam yesterday morning was a crumpled mass of tin and a few smouldering ashes after lightning struck the building Tuesday night. Four hogs which had been in the budding came out. Tomatoes in the garden nearby were scorched but efforts of firemen contained the fire to the one structure. Do You Have A Degree?

Slow-Pitch Baseball League Report Rain last week caused the postponement of two ball games ' scheduled in the Slow Pitch League, so standings are one-sided; however, these games will be rescheduled. Second Half Standings: Won Amissvilie - 2 Village - 2 Charted Industries -1 Viewtown - 0 Warrenton Training Center - 0 Amissvilie defeated Viewtown 12-4 and Village defeated Warrenton Training Center 5-2. Games between Charted Industries and Viewtown and Village and Amissvilie were rained out. Games scheduled for the remainder of this week are tonight, Thursday, Amissville at Viewtown and on Sunday Viewtown and Charted Industries will play at Cl while Village and Amissville will meet on the latter’s diamond. What a difference a half makes! Amissville defeated Viewtown behind the hitting of Junior Pullen, Roger Boswell and Doug Barron and some fine fielding plays by Randy White and Tony Layman. Viewtown was held scoreless until the 6th inning. Village nipped WTC 5-2 at Village. The game was a well-played one with Village staying close in the first half of the game on a questionable call at first and a mental lapse on WTC’s part. Village scored their first run on a hit by John Homes after the previous batter was called safe on first base. The second run scored after two were out in the next inning when a single was turned into a double when the play at second missed enabling the tying run to score. But Village was not to be denied this victory. Village Scored three runs in the bottom of the sixth to take a three run lead with the big hit being provided once again by John Holmes who lined a double off of the foul pole in left. All in all, it was a good game to watch. All other action was rained out. The games will be made up at a later date.

Grants Small Compared with other communities across the country, how well is Rappahannock Countv faring under the Federal grants-in-aid programs? What portion of the $19.6 billion distributed last year by Washington went to the local area? On the basis of a state-by-state study made by the Tax Foundation, a non-profit organization that serves as a watchdog on the spending of public funds, Rappahannock County’s share was relatively small. The grants for local purposes during the past fiscal year came to an estimated $273,000. Total grants throughout the State of Virginia as a whole amounted to $370,000,000, it shows. Included were funds foi frrban renewal, school and hospital construction, roads public health, education and many other needs. The figures relate only to Federal grants to states and localities and do not include other kinds of government spending, for goods and services, in local areas. Not included, either, are the matching funds that must be put up in connection with many of the grants. As to the cost of these benefits, they are paid for out of Federal Income and excise taxes that are allocated to the aid programs. According to a breakdown of the Tax Foundation’s figures, Rappahannock County’s contribution to the programs was approximately $287,000. Statewide, it was $388,000,000. In no area of the country, except Nebraska, did the grants and the costs balance out equally. The differences are due to the fact that some communities have more pressing problems and are in greater need of funds for public works than are others. The awards are made from that “Miss Virginia 1970” Reids Sustain Minor Injuries In Crash Mrs. Barbara Reid and son Murphy Reid Jr. of Castleton sustained minor injuries in a single-vehicle crash Monday near Rock Mills on Route 626. According to Trooper Paul Dicks, Mrs. Reid was operating a 66 Mustang when she skidded in the gravel on a curve, lost control of her car, ran into a ditch and struck a tree. She sustained a laceration of the chin and abrasions of bbth legs and arms. Her son received a laceration of the face. They were taken to Culpeper Memorial Hospital by Castleton Rescue Squad where they were treated and released. Damage to the vehicle was estimated at $300. Golf Tournament John H. Williams and Henry Deel of Amissville were among the participants in the Fauquier Springs Seniors Golf Tournament, litey tied for the low gross in the tournament which was held Saturday and Sunday. Flint Hill Carnival Parade Tonight with "Miss Virainia"1970 Special Guest The opening of the Flint Hill Firemen’s annual carnival last night was accompanied by a fireworks display and the feature tonight, Thursday, will be the big parade scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. The carnival continues through Saturday night. The parade will be led by the Virginia Lancers, state champion Drum and Bugle Corps and Mist Virginia Holton, daughter of Gov and Mrs. Linwood Holton, will b« the Grand MarshaT.* Miss Jeannette Smith, the newly crowned “Miss Virginia” 1970 will be a special guest. Othei parade units will include floats marching units, majorettes and numerous pieces of fire and rescue equipment. A 600-pound purebred registered Angus heifer and a complete set of china will b« given away Friday night and climaxing activities Saturday will be the awarding of the 197C Plymouth and three cash prizes standpoint and not with the idea of returning dollar for dollar, it ii explained. Just how much the grants-in-aic programs have grown in recenl years is brought out in th< figures. In 1960 they totaled $1 billion. Last year they amountec to $19.6 billion. The recent census may result in a drop in aid for some communities. Places that art shown to have declined in population may suffer a proportionate cut in those aid programs that are on a per-capita basis. On display at the fire hall each night will be a Virginia Game and Wildlife display and the Virginia Department of Highways exhibit. There is no charge for these attractions. Each night rides, games and good food will abound and fun and entertainment will thrill carnival goers. Golden Year In Banking “ C. C. Brown of Alexandria has marked a half century in the banking business in that city. He was actively employed with Citizens National Bank beginning in 1920, and subsequently with First and Citizens National Bank. Mr. Brown is a former resident of Rappahannock. He lived with and was reared by his aunt, Mrs. Zuleime Sealock who was postmaster in Sperryville for many years. Mr. Brown retired as executive ' vice president and trust officer in 1956 to become a director of the bank and member of its Trust Investment Committee. He is , president and treasure; of the Virginia Electric Supply Corp. and is a member and former director of the Alexandria Chamber of Commerce. He has served as chairman of the Alexandria Chapter of American Red Cross and was an organizing member of the Belle Haven Country Club, serving as its director and secretary-treasurer for 15 years. The rear of the new Amiasville Fire Department engine it constructed with a deep receaaed platform and windshield which affords the maximum in protection from weather for men riding on the platform as is demonstrated by Jack Atkms National Wheat Referendum Delayed Secretary of Agriculture Clifford M. Hardin has announced postponement of the National Wheat Referendum previously scheduled for July 27-31, according to James S. Gillespie, Chairman of the Virginia State Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation (A&C) Committee. The action was authorized by Congress. The postponement permits the USDA to delay holding the referendum no later than October 15, 1970, or 30 days after Congress adjourns, whichever date is earlier. Accordingly, the U. S. Department of Agriculture's ASCS, which administers the wheat, feed grain, and similar programs, has instructed its state and county offices across the Nation to withhold ballots and other referendum materials, Mr. Gillespie said. The Chairman explained that basic farm legislation requires a referendum for wheat marketing quotas. However, the Agricultural Act of 1965 suspended this referendum requirement from 1965 through the 1970 crop year. Unless new farm legislation, now pending, is enacted by the Congress, basic legislation will again go into effect, and a referendum will then be required in 1970 for the 1971 crop year.

Subscriptions (In, advanced *3.00 1ft Rappahannock and a^ cent counties; IS.50 East coast; $4.00 mid-west; |4.5q,W4»* Letter To Editor Dear Editor: My wife and I wen lucky enough to purchase twenty acres of land in the Castleton area. Our objective is to provide a place of solitude for ourselves as well as have a place for our children to run and play and make noise without inhibiting someone else’s rights. One of our Sunday chores at Castleton is to collect bottles and cans along the roadside leading to our property. This does not seem too much of a penalty to pay in order to enjoy the beauty of the place. We take these items home and place them in our own trash. This simple chore was compounded on our last visit to Castleton by the sight of a mattress along the road. It is one thing to gather trash but it is another to gather mattresses. Surely the folks who “planted” this item there must have had the “Out of Sight, Out of Mind Principle” in mind. It would have been far simpler to merely remove such an item from one’s bed and place it in one’s back yard. One would therefore suppose that the rationale was to go to the trouble to haul item where someone else could look at it. The Out of Sight, Out of Mind Principle has been carried on by mankind for a long time. It seems we are always leaving something we don’t want • somewhere • for someone more responsible to clean up. And one would suppose that such a principle will continue - but mattresses - that's going a little too far! Your Sunday neighbor Chuck King! I Card Of Thanks I wish to thank those who have bean so thoughtful and kind during the illness of Edward Scott while he was In the hospital and since his return home. The cards, ( flejwers,-god agd^wtony kfldnesses -are- greatly' appreciated. 1 Mr. and Mrs. Edward Scott1 i Dodson Reunion Descendents of the late Arnold Dodson will hold their annual reunion at the new fire hall in Sperryville on Sunday, August 2. All relatives and friends are invited to attend. Use of Auto Safety Belts Again Urged Richmond, Va—“If everyone in Virginia had worn a seatbelt at til times last year when in a moving motor vehicle, an estimated 186 people who died in traffic crashes would have lived,” John T. Hanna, Director of the Virginia Highway Safety Division observed today. He noted that there were 1,304 traffic fatalities in Virginia in 1969. Of these, 241 were pedestrians, 18 motorcyclists and eight bicyclists, leaving 1,037 killed in four-wheeled motor vehicles. Continuing, he said that the National Safety Council estimates indicate that about 18 percent of those killed in such vehicles would have survived and that approximately 5.5 percent did survive because they wore their belts. This means that about 56 people involved in Virginia crashes are living today because of belts. Hanna added that not only were lives saved but thousands of injuries prevented or made far less ssrious than they would have been had not belts been buckled. He urged use of the shoulder belt in addition to the lap belt, ntotng that all passenger can manufactured after January 1, 1968, are required to be equipped with them and that lapbelts art already available to three fourth of all passenger car occupants The shoulder belt, he said, should never be worn without the lap belt, as one could be flunj forward and choked. The safety official recommended that lap belts be snugly fitted over the pelvic area, rather than the stomach, but that the shoulder belt should be worn with a comfortable four to six Inch alack to permit movement necessary to driving. The shoulder belt, he said, lessens the possibility of head or chest Injuries which are often incurred when those parts of the body tfrike the steering wheel or Instrument panel. Today?* Woman Judy Burtner Eitaukm Acnt, Horn* Economics Self-Medication Seif-medication is the use of a drug or drugs available without a prescription. They are commonly referred to by the general title of OTC: over the counter drugs. These drugs may be helpful in the treatment of some uncomplicated conditions such as simple headache or indigestion, and can be used safely by the average person when directions supplied with the drugs are followed. Self-medication may also describe the use of a prescription drug in a manner other than as prescribed, or by someone for whom it is not prescribed. America has been called “The over-medicated society”. The health of Americans can be enhanced by the abundance and variety of drug remedies available, however, good health is threatened when drugs are used wrongly or excessively. The chemicals in all drugs • even the most common over-the-counter preparations - do something to a function or a part of the body. If misused, if used in excessive dosages or for too long a period of time, they may be harmful. The use of these drug preparations to treat symptoms which persist or which reappear in a short time may also be dangerous, because these symptoms may warn off o more serious illness requiring professional diagnosis and treatment. The hazards of self medication result from carelessness, faculty self-diagnosis, and failure to heed die warnings and directions for ise of the drug. The Food and Drug Administration enforces the aw to protect you, but you can Pp^fctfam igainst harmful effects of telf-medication. Follow these ample rules for your own safety: Don’t be casual about taking lrugs; Don’t take drugs you don’t leed; Don’t over buy and keep lrugs for long periods of time; Don’t combine drugs carelessly; Don’t continue taking OTC drugs, if symptoms persist; Don’t take prescription drugs not prescribed specifically for you; Do read and follow directions for use; Do be cautious when using a drug for the first time; Do dispose of old prescription drugs and outdated OTC medication; Do seek professional advice before combing drugs; Do seek professional advice when symptoms persist or return; and do get medical check-up regularly.

Shapely Earth Revealed in Dramatic Lesson hy August Moon Eclipse Americans in August can discover the world is round - the same way the ancients did. A dramatic lesson, part history and part science, will be repeated for those who have missed the twice-a-year spectacular in the past. An eclipse of the moon - the Earth’s shadow falling on the moon - will occur August 16 and be visible throughout the United States except in the Pacific Northwest, Alaska, and Hawaii. The phenomenon will be a partial lunar eclipse. Instead of the Earth’s shadow blotting out the entire shiny face of the foil moon, only about 40 percent will be darkened. It was that shadow of the Earth, especially the curved edgej of the shadow, that made ancient skywatchers centuries before the Christian era suspect the Earth was circular, the National Geographic Society says. At first they guessed the Earth was just a disc floating in the sky, the way the moon appeared to be. Later, watching outward bound ships gradually dip and disappear below the horizon, they concluded the Earth was a sphere. The skies have always been watched for signs of good luck and bad, and lunar eclipses have always been considered particularly meaningful. But the message sometimes is garbled in transmission. Fed. Funds Meted For Fish, Wadlife A total of $22,100,000 in federal aid to states has been distributed as preliminary apportionments under the D i n g ell-Johnson and Plttman-Robertson programs to benefit fish and wildlife, reports the U.S. Department of Interior. The initial allocation included $6,200,000 for fish restoration and $15,900,000 for game restoration. Virginia’s share amounted to $93,326 for fisheries projects and $296,692 for game projects. These monies when matched with 25% state funds may be used for various research and development projects to improve hunting and fishing in the state. The monies are derived from excise taxes on guns, ammunition and fishing tackle purchased by sportsmen. They are distributed from the federal treasury on the basis of the state’s land area and the. number ofc fipensed hunters tad fishermen. 'They have been and will continue to be an important source of funds for state game agencies. In Virginia, federal aid monies have been used to finance the purchase and development of many hunting areas and public fishing lakes throughout the state. They also finance a great deal of the research now going on in both the fisheries and game management fields. Most of the data upon which seasons, bag and creel limits and fish size limits are based, comes from this research. With the exception of a small amount received from the sale of timber , it is theG am e Commission’s only source of revenue other than that received from hunting and fishing license sales and boat registrations. Ok Hollow Reunion The fourth “Ole” HoUow Reunion was held on July 18 at the Church on the Hill, near Sperryville. The following people and their families attended for a picnic lunch and reminiscences: Mr. and Mrs. Warren Rowland, Ash bum; Mr. and Mrs. Curtis Right and Mrs. Betsey Harrell, Wheaton, Md.; Mr. and Mrs. Roger Palmer, Virginia Beach; Mr. and Mrs. Robert Johnson and Mr. and Mrs. Alvah Waters, Luray; Cletus Burke, Front Royal; Mr. and Mrs. Ray Dwyer, Elkwood; Mrs. Mary Frazier and Miss Nancy Frazier, Brightwood; Mr. and Mrs. Ray Shade, Fails Church; Mr. and Mrs. Ellis Clatterbuck, Centre ville, Mr. and Mrs. David Clatterbuck and Miss Vanassa Martin, Culpeper; Mr. and Mrs. Lyle Rector, Flint Hill; Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Compton, Reva; ' Mr. and Mrs. Jimmy Leonard, 1 Mrs. Kitty Partlow and Mr. and Mrs. Edward Clatterbuck, Arlington; Mr. and Mrs. Harvey !

Rebecca and Martha Hoffto, Clyde Atkins, Mrs. Tenie Updklke, Mrs. Nina Dwyer, Mrs. Ruby Dwyer, Mrs Jim Cornell and Mrs. Gertrude Clatterbuck, Sperryville; Silas Beahm, Washington, Va. It was voted by the group that for the annual reunion in 1971 notices would not be sent out, but ample notice will be published in the Rappahannock News. Next year’s reunion will be on the third Saturday in July at 11:30 a.m. Any resident or former resident of “Ole” Hollow is cordially invited to attend and take an active part of this group. In the Greek world on August 27, 413 B.C., Athenian officers misread the portent of a lunar eclipse that day. Instead of pulling their troops out of captured Syracuse, they decided to wait for another celestial omen and were attacked and defeated. Lunar eclipses occur when the orbits of the Earth and moon line up approximately in the same plane, and the moon swings into the 900,000-mile shadow thrown by the Earth. When the moon merely grazes this shadow, a partial eclipse occurs, but when the entire moon passes into the shadow, it is totally eclipsed. The light rays from the sun are bent or refracted by the Earth’s atmosphere as they skim across the edge of the Earth and streak on into space. The atmosphere traps most of the blue rays, but the red rays pass on through and eventually fall on the moon, giving it a reddish cast. The August 16 lunar eclipse will begin at 7:06 p.m. EST with part of the moon growing gradually darker, then lighter until the eclipse ends at 11:40 p.m. Other August Sightings: Mercury: Low in western skies at sunset. Venus: Low in west, setting about an hour after sun. Jupiter: Visible in early evening, low in southwest. Saturn: Rises at midnight in Constellation Taurus.

Some kinds of sartorial splendor seem to infuriate bees, wasps, and hornets. It pays for the well-dressed gardener, hiker, or outdoorsman to choose his wardrobe with care if he wants to enjoy peaceful coexistence with his formidably armed neighbors. Nobody knows why these stinging insects have such pointed views on fashions, the National Geographic Society says. But man has become painfully aware of some of them. White Is Right Some new outfits of man-made fibers, and black or dark clothes seem to enrage them into attacking, but not white or light colored clothing. They seldom sting smooth finished materials, but leather, suede, wool, or coarse weaves invite trouble. Stinging insects seem to be irritated by sweet-smelling people redolent of hair oil, tonics, cologne, strong perfume, and scented soap. But clothing with unpleasant odors, particularly from perspiration, is just as likely to provike them. Anne hair entomologists have many theories on what brings out the worst in bees, wasps, hornets, and their flashy cousins, yellow jackets. Bad weather comes in for a share of the blame: On windy days, for instance, they can’t fly well enough to forage for food uid take out their ill temper by itinging somebody. Many victims have learned the tiard way that getting excited, jumping up and down, and nailing the arms around, oi making swatting motions, are sure ways of provoking attack. Beekeepers’ Advice Beekeepers advise the best thing to do when stinging insects threaten is to freeze, or better yet, to relax and ignore them. It may take furious bees a while to cool off again. A man and wife in Memphis were besieged in their house for three weeks when he barricaded a swarm out of the hive they had made in a wall. It’s not easy to outrun bees. They have been clocked in flight at 13 miles an hour. Stings can be merely annoying or deadly. Swarms of bees and wasps have stung horses to death. They kill more people than any other animal: in the United States at least 200 in the last 10 years. Most of the human victims have an allergy to the venom or an acute sensitivity brought on by previous stings. Without treatment, they may die within hours from blood problems or breathing failure. Yet a bee sting was credited with restoring the hearing of a man deaf 42 yean; beekeepers have long touted stings as a cure for rheumatism, and doctors have investigated the venom for stopping chronic bleeding. Stinging insects even are used in war. In jungle fighting, Viet Cong rig booby traps with wasps’ nests.

The cost of everything is up. Hotel and motel rates are higher, food costs more, toll collections are more frequent and sales taxes are bigger in many areas. The findings are baaed upon a survey of vacation travel costs throughout the country, made by the American Automobile Association. As a result, the figures show, a Rappahannock County couple will be spending approximately $39.50 a day this year, traveling modestly, or about $6 a day more .than in 1965. I That amount will take care of the necessities but not such extras as souvenirs, amusements and admissions to places of interest. Thus, a two-week trip will cost a local couple a minimum of about $550. It assumes that they get 14 miles to the gallon of gas and thay they cover an average of 300 miles per day. The $39.50 daily budget provides (or $14.00 for meals and snacks, another $14.00 for lodging, $8.50 for gas and oil and $3.00 for tips and miscellaneous. The AAA report also answers, for Rappahannock County car owners, the all-important question of how much it costs them per year to own and operate their cars. —_ _ The average is now $1,448 a year for a standard-size car in the medium price range, with automatic transmission, driven 10,000 miles annually. This takes into account the fixed costs - for depreciation, insurance, license fees and such - amounting to $1,053, or $2.88 per day. The other costs, covering gas, oil, tires and maintenance, depend upon how much the car is used. For 10,000-mile operation they total $895, or 8.95 cents a JU^e?

Standards Set for Motorcycle Helmets In accordance with legislation enacted by the 1970 General Assembly, standards for helmets required to be worn by operators and passengers of motorcycles have been adopted, according to Colonel H. W. Burgess, Superintendent of State Police. Colonel Burgess said that the law requires that the State Police adopt these standards within one year after enactment of the law and that enforcement begin no sooner than 60 days after filing of the standards. In stating that September 15, 1970, has been set for the beginning of enforcement of the standards. Colonel Burgess said that since June 26, 1970, the law has required that operators and passengers wear some type of helmet and that this must be. done. The Virginia standards closely parallel the ANSI Z90.1-1966 ones set by the American National Standards Association, Inc. Any helmet meeting these standards and marked with the ANSI Z90.1*1966 designation is eligible for approval by the State Police. Such helmets are now available. However, Colonel Burgess said that approval must be obtained, usually by the manufacturer, before the helmet can become legal in Virginia and added that approved helmets will be listed and listings available to the public by the State Police before the enforcement date. As a protection to the public, all automotive safety devices must be approved as to quality and effectivenem by the State Police. Colonel Burgees stated further that after September 15, 1970, A group of ladies from Hopewell Baptist Church ia Sperryville held a dinner to raise funds for a contribution to the Sperryrille Rescue Squad which was recently organized. The donation was made to the squad at its regular meeting held Monday night.

Others who assisted with the fund raising but were not present for the meeting are Mrs. Ruth Rankin and Charles -1 ■■ ■— the earliest date at which enforcement of the standards can begin, the selling or offering for sale of any helmet not meeting Association standards, not marked as so meeting them and not approved by the State Police will be illegal. Standards cover material, issemblage, area of protection, shock absorption, resistance to penetration and the retaining system. Hiram M. Smith, jr. Information Director LF.C.C.

Cindy and Doug also visited their great-grandmother, Mrs. Addie Perkins in McLean. liosi wwa we mougni aooui meekness. It seems, according to ' some of my readers that meekness has been outmoded, relegated to the limbo of the past, today arrogance, dissension, the ; absolute opposite of meekness is the order of the day. IS didn’ preach the Sermon on the Mount, so if you want to disagree with someone, talk to Jesus about it. Let us think about prayer this week. One Sunday my pastor preached about prayer and read from the Scriptures where we are to ‘pray without ceasing’. Well, how can one pray without ceasing? What is prayer? The best definition I can find is: to speak to God. The Book says that God is closer than hands and feet, even closer than breathing. It also says that ‘God is a Spirit’,s that we must worship Him with our spiritual self. To ipe this means that I must try to attune my spiritual self with this Spirit Being we call God, to speak to God, to constantly acknowledge Him. How about our physical attitude when we pray? Should we pray on our knees? Someone has said that ‘a man is never so tall as when on his knees’, if you feel more reverent in that position, assume it when you pray. To some it is to stand facing the east, the birthplace of our great religions. To me, the position of my physical self matters little, ‘God looks on the heart’, ‘He knows what you need even before you ask’. Our God is a good God.

Set of Values All of us are very conscious of values in the age in which we are living. We can apply values to many phases of life. Do we think af it in terms of what it is worth to us personally or what it is worth to society at large? I want to relate value to the :hlld and his growth and development. First, how does society value a child? How Is this iralue determined? The answer is directly related to the parent and the environment under which his :hild grows up. The parent sets the stage and the child enacts the play. Consider the child from the time he is bom until he becomes }f school age. When he is in the cradle, he cries to be rocked. Here, he has learned the values of trying. As he grows older, he cries for other things. The parent resorts to anything to stop him ■rom crying. This is the beginning jf delinquency. How many parents recognize this as such? The child now adds or strengthens his sense of values by semper tantrums or being stubborn. He has learned that he ran achieve by each of these ittitudes. Don’t think for one minute that he doesn’t know how well he Is playing the game! When he enters school, he is SPECIALS OF THE WEEK Used Guitar and Amplifier- Sal# Priced at $60 Used Gibson Amplifier with Guitar and Case - Only $149.50 Used Bass Amplifier • $95 New Selection of Records and Miulcal Inatru&ientt for All CULPEPER MUSIC CENTER 200 N. Main St Culpeper, Va. Flint HOI women were extremely busy Monday afternoon aa they cleaned up the food •tand in preparation for the opening 1st night of the annual firemen’s carnival. Misses Alice Virginia Pullen and Connie Huff, Mrs. Mary Frances Bywaters, Mrs. Mary Krause, Mrs. Cornelia Welch, Mrs. Lucy Foster, Mrs. Arland Welch and Mrs. Will Putnam were making the dust fly and thinpi began to gleam under their vigorous scrubbing. luick to realize certain values and isually takes pride in learning the 3 R’s, But at the end of each day, tie goes back to the same environment which he now controls, having mastered values that give him what he wants, but not what he needs. At this stage the love and pride which the parent has for the child overshadows what is taking place within his mind. In the adolescent years the child is overprotected and indulged. Every sacrifice is made for him with nothing demanded in return. Of what value is this sacrifice? Compare the child’s values now with those of the parent. It seems that the material or physical values are all that the parent sees • that is - satisfying his wants. This goes on year after year until his thoughts are completely molded according to his own set of values. By this time he has become a full-fledged delinquent because the parent failed to realize the importance of ; character traits which determine the, yajue that a child places upon Tils behavior. ’ -*■ ^ Most of the time when a child becomes a teen-ager, the parent will sacrifice by giving him a car and putting him on the highway. The parent now believes that all the sacrifices and indulgences that have been made for him will carry him through. All the parent can do now is hope. What is the result when a boy or girl goes out into the world on his own? What may happen when his physical needs are not met? If he chooses a companion, has he been given any values as a guide? Could this be why we have “Hippies”? What values do they place on their lives? Is freedom of any value without responsibility? Recently a little boy 10 years of age said to me, “When Mother's Day came I didn’t have any money for a gift, so I cleaned up the kitchen for her the best that I could.” He had sacrificed his playtime for his mother. What ralue do we see here? Through self-denial, a child will learn to, share. By sharing he will tchieve in his heart a love and understanding of others. There seems to be a definite relation now between crime and value. Crimes are being committed by the youths of our nation. How are these crimes looked upon? Is society losing its grip? Has society devalued the child? Isn’t every child in America worth saving? Every child is a product of the home. That is where be is molded for the world in which he is to live. What value are we placing upon this product, namely, the child? Stress the value of sacrificing for others to your child and he will be a blessing to you. If the parent saves his own child, there is a possibility that be In turn will save someone else. Give him a set of values that will be an anchor for him when his ship sets sail upon the sea of life, though the waters be rough and turbulent. This is one of the ways we can save our society, regardless of creed or color. Remember this, the hand that rocks the cradle, rules the world.

Want to meet a typical social security beneficiary? Before you visit your local senior citizens club, you might try checking with the cub scouts or campfire girls. Or the local high school. Or even the students at Shenandoah College. Nearly 3'/2 million Americans under 18 are receiving monthly social security payments.

Crumpton social security district manager noted. “But the law has been changed over the years, not only broadening everybody’s protection but greatly increasing the significance of social security for younger people-younger workers as well as beneficiaries. “The young worker of today, through his social security contributions, is building protection for his family,” Mrs. Crumpton said. “With contributions of only a few hundred dollars a year, he is creating an “estate” that could mean monthly checks for many years if he should die or become disabled before his children are grown.” “About 1.3 million disabled workers under 65 are now getting monthly disability benefits under social security,” she pointed out, “and payments are going to over 1 million of their dependents, rhe average payment to the family of a disabled worker with 1 or more children is $273.00 a month. The maximum is $434.40.” Three million young widows and children are receiving payments based on the earnings of a deceased husband and father, with the average payment for a mother and two children now $292.00 and the maximum $424.40. “In the Winchester and Frederick County area,” Mrs. Crumpton said, “397 disabled workers are receiving monthly disability benefits. These payments amount t$40,000 per month. Since disability payments go out to people under age 65, it is evident that social security is also for the young.” For any information about social security, the office at 20 South Cameron Street may be visited.

Massie of Washington, Virginia by retired Chief Forest Warden Raymond M. Johnson on behalf of the Virginia Tree Farm Committee. Mr. Massie received the award for carrying out sound forest management practices on his farm woodland property and for protecting his trees from fire, insects and destructive livestock grazing in accordance with Virginia Tree Farm standards. In making the award, Mr. Johnson congratulated Mr. Massie for setting a fine example in proper woodland management. “Trees are a crop that can be grown again and again on the same land,” said Mr. Johnson. “That is what Mr. Massie is doing and that is what more landowners must do if we are to meet our increasing demands for forest products and to protect our watersheds and wildlife areas.” There are now 819 Tree Farms in Virginia with a total forest area of 1,336,961 acres. The Tree Farm System is sponsored by the American Forest Institute with the program in Virginia being administered by Virginia Forests Inc. in cooperation with the Virginia Division of Forestry, VPI Extension Division and the American Forest Institute.
