VA. STATE LIBRARY RICHMOND 19, VA. 23219 At the end of the parade line, behind all the gloss and glitter, is a tired little girl. Lou Ann Wolfe of Sterling Park a majorette with the “Sterlettes” group performing Thursday night at the Amissville Firemen’s carnival parade took off her plumed hat to reveal a terry wash cloth perched on top of her head. With this, she wiped away the perspiration and dust accumulated in the line of march, folded it neatly and replaced it to it$ original position, donned her hat and was ready for drill competition on the carnival grounds. It costs approximately $50 to outfit a majorette, said Lou Ann’e mother, but the pleasure the child has derived from the busy parade season is worth it.

Injuries Slight in Several Traffic Crashes In County Injuries were slight in four traffic crashes reported on Rappahannock roads in the past week. Trooper J. B, Willis investigated the following crashes. August 20 at 10:45 p.m. a mile and three tenths east of Washington, Va. on Route 211 a single vehicle accident involved Donn Cahnning Railey of Brandon, Fla. Railey ran off the right of the road, veered across the highway and struck the bank on the left. He sustained lacerations of the forehead. Damage to the 1970 Ford he was driving was estimated at $600 and Railey was charged with reckless driving. In Amissville Saturday morning a 1967 Plymouth operated by Joseph Leslie Hosman of New Boston, Texas was declared a total loss after striking a rock embankment but the driver was unhurt. Hosman started to pass a 1966 Pontiac operated by Randle Lee Cole of Crownsville, Md. As Hosman started around the Cole car, Cole also attempted to pass another vehicle in front of him and the Hosman car was forced off the road and into the bank. Cole was charged with improper passing. Sunday morning in Amissville on Route 211, Mrs. Mary Lee Poe operating, a 65 Ford was struck by another car as she stopped to make a left turn off the highway. A 1970 Ford pickup owned and operated by W. F. Bear Jr. of Amissville, approached from the rear, applied his brakes, skidded into the ditch, spun around in the road and struck the Poe vehicle. Bear was cited for failing, to maintain control of his vehicle. What It Costs To Rear a Child In Rappahannock County, under present conditions, how much does it cost to raise a child from birth to age 18? Most parents have no mea of the overall amount. Beyond recalling that at certain stages along the line the costs were unusually large, sometimes staggeringly so, they have never thought about their total expenditure. A new analysis of such costs provides some answers. It was made by the Institute of Life Insurance, using data obtained from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Department of Agriculture and others. The finding is that the amount spent by parents in rearing a child varies from family to family but, in general, is closely related to income. In some families, the outlay in the 18 years is equivalent to as much as 3.6 years of earnings, after taxes. In others, as little as 2.9 years of earnings are so-spent. The average is slightly more than three years. in nappanannocx county, where net income per family is currently in the $5,000 to $6,000 range, on average, the cost per child comes to approximately $19,800. With one exception, this financial burden is spread out over the years. The exception is the very first outlay-for the birth of the child. This averages $580. Medical needs thereafter are estimated at $2,490. In most local families, a principal item of expense is food. With prices as they are now, the food bill for the 18 years Is placed at $8,020. A girl consumes about $500 less than that and a boy $500 more. Clothing expenses per child are figured at $3,790, making allowance for the fact that hand-me-downs are sometimes available. Transportation expenditures add another $3,800. Beyond these, there are the outlays for recreation, personal care, the share of the housing expenses attributable to the child and the cost of education up to, but not including college. That comes later. For the 130 or so youngsters In Rappahannock County who are reaching age 18 annually, the total outlay on the part of their parents comes to approximately $2,574,000. Sunday afternoon about two o’clock on Route 601 at Peola Mills two vehicles collided. A 1966 Buick convertible operated by James Gordon Yowell of Fredericksburg and a 1963 Mercury operated by Frederick John Maletz of Washington, D. C. met on a curve. Maletz applied his brakes and skidded into the side of the Buick. He was charged with failing to drive to the right of the center of the road. Mr. Thornton To Speak On Ecology A talk, accompanied by slides on the subject, “Contrasts in Ecology” will be given by Philip L. Thornton at Rappahannock Library, Friday, August 28 at 8 p.m. Mr. Thornton will speak from first hand experience while on duty with the military in Antarctica and in Vietnam. The program is one of a series which composes the Library and Information Program. ASC Elec. Ballots To Be Mailed Soon On September 1, ASC community committee election ballots will be mailed to all known eligible farm voters, according to H. S. Barksdale, Chairman of the Rappahannock County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee. Farm voters may vote for up to three of the candidates listed, or they may write in their choices on lines provided at the bottom of the ballot. To be counted, all ballots must be properly signed and mailed or returned to the County ASCS Office by September 11. Votes will be tabulated September 15, 1970 at 9 a.m. in the Board Room of the Rappahannock National Bank. In each of the five ASC communities in the county, three community committeemen and two alternates will be elected. The candidate receiving the largest number of votes becomes chairman; the second largest vote-getter, vice-chairman; third-high, regular member; fourth and fifth highest become first and second alternates who may serve on the committee if regular members are temporarily absent or if a permanent vacancy occurs. ASC community committees are elected for one-year terms, beginning October 1. It’s very important that farmers elect their most qualified farm-neighbors for community committee posts. These community committees elect the County ASC Committee and choose its officers. They also assist the County ASC Committee in local administration of Government of farm programs (Continued on Page 2) m w ' i i i f Karen Smith was named AmLvsville carnival Queen Friday evening and received her crown from outgoing Queen Cheryl Poling.

A new eighth grade civics course has been added to the curriculum. jTwo Convicted of Fraud Tuesday in County Court Two men were convicted in Rappahannock County Court Tuesday afternoon on charges of false pretense larceny. Morris Riley, 65, of Camden, Ark. and Phillip Squire Cullom, 26, of Port Royal were each fined $75 and court costs of $7.75 and given a jail sentence of 90 days, suspended on good behavior for one year. These charges resulted after the pair charged Clyde E. Beckwith of Castleton $80 for pumping out a septic tank. They had represented themselves as reliable septic tank cleaners, using the name of a reputable company in an adjoining town. After giving them a check, Mr. Beckwith called the Culpeper firm named and inquired about the service and the price, thereupon discovering the fraud. The tank had not been cleaned ; indeed, it was later discovered they did not even have a pump on the truck. The two men were apprehended in Culpeper and detained until Sheriff C. K. Estes arrived with warrants for their arrest. They were held in Rappahannock jail until their appearance in court Tuesday. The public is once again alerted to flim-flam artists who travel the country using various schemes to con money from people, particularly older residents. One should always ask for identification and references where possible. If there is any doubt as to whether the operation is legitimate, do not hesitate to contact a county officer. Arts & Crafts Group Rappahannock Arts and Crafts group will meet Tuesday, Sept. 8 at 10 am. at Cab-Inn in Sperryville. Those interested may continue work on Crewel embroidery. It is hoped there will be a demonstration on Tie Dyeing. If anyone in the county, experienced in this craft will assist in giving a demonstration please contact Mrs. Helen Kilby, 987-2551.

Dear Madam, I must apologize to you - foi taking a week to reply to youi letter. Since you attempted to go over my head and contacted Mr. Green instead of me, the delay was unavoidable. My statement which you questioned was factual; everyone in the SperryviUe delegation did leave the Supervisors’ meeting, however one lady did return, I presume to ride home with her husband, a county official who most always attends the meetings. I was kind in my original assessment of the proceedings concerning that meeting. I think It is unfortunate that your representative, endowed with the many virtues extolled by you, allowed the plan, hastily contrived to conform with the absence of a member, to develop. If she had a change in her schedule, I should think it proper for her to go to her colleagues and discuss the matter. If it does not suit me to print the newspaper on Wednesday, I’ll go tell Mr. Green, I wouldn’t send you. One item of legislation was tabled for two meetings awaiting Mrs. Coates’ presence, and she had made no effort to contact the Board, to explain her absences, or make any arrangements to rectify the situation. I still fail to grasp the feasibility of inconveniencing a dozen or more people to benefit one; however, I’ll look forward to seeing all of you at the Saturday meetings. Sarah Latham, Editor ft Today s Woman Judy Bortncr Extension Agent, Home Economies Buy Now, Eat Later! This slogan, wisely applied may mean either much relief to your food budget, or more eating satisfaction for your food dollars. There are several ways you may apply the slogan to your food1 buying and planning. Seasonal buying and quantity are two which come to mind. In seasonal buying, the “Buy Now, Eat Later,” slogan works this way. Many foods have a definite seasonal pattern of supply and prices. Ordinarily you can expect that prices are best when supplies are largest. The same thing is true for quality. Obviously, if the food is such that you can buy it now, when the supplies are largest, and if the food can be stored, it makes economic sense to do so. You buy now, you eat later. Meats present a good example of this kind of product. During the fall and early winter months, you usually find pork at its peak supply and more attractive prices. Beef supplies peak during later summer and early fall. If you have a home freezer with space, you have an opportunity to practice some “buy now, eat later." Quantity buying gives you another chance to play “buy now, eat later.” Here the prepared cereals are a very good example. You may buy cereals in individual serving packages or you may buy them in large family size packages. Just stop sometime and figure the difference in per serving cost between the two types of packages. You will find the family size is quite a budget stretcher. This cereal example is a short run, “Buy Now, Eat Later” but the results are the same. You pay out more at one time but your over-all eating is less expensive and just as satisfying.

If you lose some of the products through spoilage or waste, you may be little, if any, better off by practicing the slogan. You could even be worse off. You must judge each chance to “Buy Now, Eat Later” on its own merits and make decisions best for your family, for your storage facilities, and for your economic situation. However, there are excellent opportunities to either stretch your food budget or stretch your eating satisfaction through “Buy Now, Eat Later.” Tailoring, Draperies Slipcover Workshops Plans are under way for the development of Extension Workshops in the areas of Tailoring, Slip Covering and Draperies. All three will be offered at night, beginning in September and October. Tailoring will include instruction on the construction of a tailored garment, either a coat, or a two-piece suit. A person enrolling in this class must have previous experience in clothing construction. This will be taught by Judy Burtner, Extension Agent. The classes on slip covering and draperies will be taught by Mrs. Katherine Riley of Amissville in two separate workshops. The workshops on slip coverings will include information on how to measure and how to fit, along with construction details. The workshop on draperies will include information on various drapery fabrics, along with how to measure and construction details. Any homemaker interested in participating in any one of the three workshops or all three will need to contact Judy Burtner, Extension Agent at 675-3619 to register. The classes will be limited in number so first to call will be admitted. Registration will be closed by Monday, Sept. 7th. Half the babies born in developing countries die before age 4 or 5, mainly d'.>o to malnutrition. To help children grow into healthy, self-supporting iadults, CARE provides food plus medical attention and aid to education. Outline Escape Plan In Event of Fire Five basic points are included in a family escape plan outlined by the American Insurance Association in the event your house catches fire. 1. Draw up a floor plan of your home. Indicate all doors and windows, as well as stairways, porches and porch roofs. 2. Figure out two ways to reach the ground floor from each room, especially from each bedroom. Indiate both in your floor plan. 3. Hold fire drills, occasionally at night, so that each member of your family knows what to do. Impress on everyone that speed is vital in case of fire. Get out as fast as you can. 4. If there are elderly persons or very young ones requiring special care, assign someone to help them get out. In many localities the fire department will provide decals that can be place; in the window to indicate to firemen where there is an invalid. 5. Agree on a meeting place outside the house where all must assemble. Once you are outside the house, count heads and stay out. Let the professionals fight the fire. Don’t rush back for anything. Your life is more valuable than any possession. Then, call the fire department, using a neighbor’s phone or the nearest alarm box. Over 2,500 Wasp Species in N. Amer. BLACKSBURG - Yellow jackets, bald-faced hornets, giant hornets, paper wasps, mud daubers, bumble bees and cicada killers have two things in common. Each is one of more than 2,500 wasp species occurring in North America. Each will quickly deliver a painful, poison-laden sting to whomever is foolish enough to provoke them. “Wasps are easily provoked. It is unsafe to allow them around the house where they like to build nests under eaves, on porches, behind blinds, in trees, among rocks, in the ground and other places,” explained Dr. John A. Weidhaas, extension entomologist with Virginia Tech. Even though they can be classified as beneficial in that they kill and devour harmful insects and spiders, they should be destroyed when they build their nest too close to the house and endanger the health and happiness of children. Hornets and yellow jackets feed their young on houseflies, blowflies and the caterpillars of a wide variety of moths. Paper wasps, known as polistes, catch army worms, corn ear worms and other pests to carry to the nest and their larvae. The female mud dauber stings and paralyses as many as 20 immature spiders to imprison in her egg cells to become a ready [meal for the not yet hatched larvae. Weidhaas reports wasps are unable to see in the dark and make every effort to be home before dark. Hence, the time to erradicate them is after dark. Control can be had by thoroughly soaking the nests with a solution of carbaryl, sold as Sevin. Weidhaas advises, “It is best applied with a back-pack sprayer with a long nozzle. This will permit the sprayer to stand away from the nest and to insert the spray nozzle into the nest door for direct contact with the wasps.” “Chlordane or malathion may also be used for spraying wasps’ nests,” said Weidhaas. A difficult part of the control program is finding the nest. Weidhaas finds them by watching wasps at dusk. “That is when they are flying home,” he said. The life habits of wasps are such that nest destruction is easiest when attempted early in the insect’s year. In the fall, fertile males and their queens leave the nest to mate. The males then die. The queen goes into hibernation until springtime when she emerges to search for a suitable nesting area. She then collects wood or vegetation which she chews into a paper-mache like substance to use in building a comb with egg cells and lays one egg in each cell. Wasp larvae depend upon adults Bicycle Buffs Pedal To New Popularity Pedal power has shifted into high gear. A few years ago, only children, deliverymen, and exchange students seemed to see merit in cycling. Now, In the vanguard of a new golden age of the bicycle, some 60,000,000 riders are pumping along highways and byways in the United States. Old and young pedal to stay fit, students and professors ride to classes, and commuting businessmen weave expertly through lines of slow-moving cars. Elaborate tours organized by huff and puffers range from the rocky coast of Maine to California’s Napa Valley, the National Geographic Society says. Follow Marked Paths Cyclists in the United States often are frustrated by the dominance of the automobile, but Washington, San Francisco, and Chicago are among the cities leading a revival in bike paths. A new commuter bicycle route in the capital winds all the way from fashionable Georgetown to the city’s sports stadium across town. In New York, commuter cyclists have been braving the hazards of big-city traffic for years. A young executive who pedals through Manhattan with an attache case strapped to his bike emphasizes the convenience and discounts the danger. “It’s really quite safe. Everyone thinks, ‘Look at that fool on the bike. Let’s stay away from him.’ ” Not many commuters would battle New York traffic on an early American bicycle called the “boneshaker.” Patented in 1886, the machine had pedals on the front wheel and iron tires, which produced a tooth-rattling ride. Today’s sleek, utilitarian bicycle evolved directly from the ‘‘boneshaker’’ and a high-wheeled, rubber-tire cycle first produced in England. The English version, comfortable and speedy, was the first practical bicycle although it threw its rider on the slightest provocation. Traded Horses for Bikes Cycling became an American craze in the Gay Nineties. Doctor, lawyer, and merchant abandoned horse-drawn carriages for convenient bikes. Dandies sporting handlebar mustaches whistled “Daisy Bell” as they happily pedaled their ladies on bicycles built for two. Dedicated fans agreed with the enthusiast who described the discovery and improvement, .of the bicycle as “of more importance to mankind that all the victories and defeats of Napoleon, with the First and Second Punic Wars...thrown in.” Bike races were held throughout the country. In 1889 one of the greatest pitted a cyclist against a train. New Yorker Charles M. Murphy bet he could match the finest engine on the Long Island Railroad. At first he kept pace. Then, as the train reached 60 miles an hour, he fell behind. Thousands of spectators groaned sympathetically, but a furious spurt brought the cyclist even again and Mile-a-Minute Murphy bacame a national hero. for their food and care. The queen cares for her first larvae brood, all of which are infertile female workers. She feeds them daily with freshly-killed insects. The queen’s subsequent broods of fertile males and workers are raised by workers. The nest grows bigger and more heavily populated as summer progresses. With the coming of cold weather and the cessation of wasp activity, death occurs to all but the queen which are left to find a niche suitable for hibernation. Thus, the earlier in the season the nest can be destroyed, the fewer are the wasps to be controlled. Wasps can be identified by the nests they build. Globular, paper-mache nests concealing multi combed structures are peculiar to hornets and yellow jackets. Polistes, or paper wasps, build single layer, open-faced, umbrella-shaped nests. Cicada killers build underground nests. The mud daubers construct the clay cell nests. SEE US FOR CHRYSLER - PLYMOUTH INTERNATIONAL RUSSELL BROS., INC. U. S. HIGHWAY 522 FLINT HILL, VA. PHONE 675-3646 Rapp-Chats By Rap Owings, Ext. Agent Several weeks ago the Southern Com Leaf Blight started showing up in com fields from Norfolk, Virginia to Florida. This fungus disease then swung up through several of the major com producing states of the mid-west. And ! it is presently scattered throughout our state of Virginia. Roy Heltzel, County Agent in Culpeper, reports several hundred seres affected. The blight moved into Madison County last week and is pretty general throughout that county. As I see it now, the com Diignt probably will be in Rappahannock by the time this article is published. |How will this affect your com crop? Fourtunately, most of our com is already made. Cora that is well along into the hard dent stage, that will be harvested for grain, should not be greatly affected. Com being harvested for silagf will loose some of its feeding value due to the severe browning of the leaves. Coro that is in the milk stage can be severely affected. One Held that I looked at in Madison last Tuesday had turned a black brown and the ears had splotches of green mold on the kernels. If jyou have silage com that is reasonably close to maturity, I strongly recommend that you start harvesting as soon as possible and keep at it until the job is done. The first signs of Southern Com Blight are dark stripes and blotches on the leaves. Within 3-5 days all of the leaves will have turned a dark brown. From a distance a blighted com field has a black-brown appearance. If you suspect blight in your com, please call the county agent’s office 675-3619, as I would like to keep a record of the spread of the disease and the varieties affected. ********** Newbill Miller, President of the Rappahannock Angus Feeder Calf Sale Association, asked me to remind all cow-calf producers who would like to consign their calves to this sale that nominations should be in by the end of this week.

4 THE RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS, Washington, Va. Thursday, August 27, 1970 " ! '.. ' . * Our Trip To Niagara Falls By M. W. Br"vn Conclusion The 71-degree temperature oi Thursday morning was an ey< opener, and after our usua country breakfast of sausage hash browns, pancakes, syrup anc eggs, we reached Niagara Fails. II is one of the most popular of the world’s great natural wonders and is visited by over three million people each year. The Niagara River divides at the Niagara Reservation around Goat Island and plunges over the American Falls and Horseshoe Falls. We boarded an elevator on Goat Island and descended approximately 500 feet through solid rock and walked the Gorge Walkway which ends under Terrapin Point to the very brink of the Horseshoe Falls. We stood within a few feet of the foaming crest and walked through the rainbow-tinted spray. If we just stood still, we were splashed from time to time by the windy sprays. The Maid of the Mist boat (which accommodates 100 passengers) glides through the bluish-green waters to the foot of the thundering Horseshoe Falls, a never-to-be-forgotten view. From the American side, we viewed the Canadian power plants, the Seagram Tower, and last but not least the Sky Ion Tower, Niagara’s highest observation point and probably the most modern international pavilion. We decided we must conserve our reduced supply of energy, so just sat and enjoyed the beautiful flowers, the Falls and vacationers bustling by, while Don went to the observation tower for filming of the sights. bacn ol us agreed, at the end of 350 feet of movie-making, that Niagara Falls is the place for vacationers to go on exciting fun-filled trips and enjoy the many special attractions. Customs presented no problem when we crossed into Canada or returned to the United States. They only asked of what country we were citizens, so entering and exiting actually required less time | than stopping in our own country to pay a bridge or expressway toll. Canada is beautiful with many floral gardens and a special Floral Clock. With the splendor of the lights on the Falls and a full moon above, there was no more life could offer than such natural beauty that night. Spectacular as Niagara Falls is in daylight, it becomes much more impressive after dark, when the giant searchlights, located on the Canadian side, ransform the Falls into a rainbow of sound and shimmering color. The girls were still in the “Fall Clouds” and won the game that night. On Friday morning we departed Clarence, New York, and had proceeded several miles down the highway when my daughter asked me for the correct time, (it is an established rule that my watch is precisely correct at all times). “Whoa”, 1 said, “You’ll have to go back to the motel, my watch is on the bed post.” We had breakfast in Williamsville, New York, and tried to tell our son-in-law, Don Williams, that today was in his honor. Ironically, it turned out to be his day after all, because the men showed the girls how you really play the game of Canasta that night in Pennsylvania. It was a pleasant 73 degrees and beautiful countryside through which we were traveling. We stopped at Bradford Pennsylvania, for gas, and there in the heart of town, in the backyard of a home, were “grasshopper” jacks pumping oil in the heat of the day. We were tc see this same sight for the next several miles. Sometimes the “grasshoppers” seemed largei than the house. We cruised through many small communities and townships and at Dubois, Pennsylvania, we admired an interesting landmark, i It is known as McGee’s covered Bridge and was erected in 1873, but is still in daily use. Soon we entered the Pennsylvania Turnpike and realized there was more traffic than we had thus far encountered on our trip. At Fort Littleton, we took the exit for Chambersburg and passed many peach orchards. When the bellboy said the temperature was 75 degrees, we again agreed it was perfect weather for traveling. The girls took full advantage of the lesson of the night before and won the blue ribbon. While driving through the .Chambersburg streets on Saturday morning, Elizabeth was busily filming sites of the town and snapped an Amish couple as they walked along the street. We later read in some of our brochures that they do not look favorably upon having their picture taken. "• At a nearby shopping center, tleanoc and Elizabeth each purchased themselves a pair of i “walking shoes” for the eagerly awaited Gettysburg tour later in the day. At Gettysburg, the only hope of seeing part of the beauty and history offered here, is to take a bus tour. The manager of the “Sightseeing for Tourists” was nearby when we inquired about available tours, and saw the problems involved in boarding the wheelchair onto a bus. He handed us four complimentary tickets to board the “Tram” leaving in 30 minutes. This tour was a most informative and enjoyable one. The “Tram” is an open train, from which our Super 8 camera captured many sights along the main streets of Gettysburg. Indeed the camera was not neglected during the entire day. In the months to come, on a cold wintry night, we are looking forward to the time when we all get together in comfortable chairs to view the movies and relive Pickett’s march on that July 1863 day from the site of the Robert E. Lee Statue to the “high water line”, the rock wall which was the goal of some 7,000 Confederate troops, and to which only a very small number of men lived to tell the story of the three-day Battle of Gettysburg. Indeed we enjoyed the seven-day, 1400 miles traveled and we soaked in hot showers, and let restaurants along the route do all our cooking and dishwashing. The trip to Sperryville from Gettysburg took about three hours. It was just about dusk when we pulled into the driveway that wound its way to home. New Arrivals Mr. and Mrs. H. Taylor Updike, Ir. of Manassas announce the >irth of a daughter, Callie Michelle, born August 24, 1970 it the Prince William Hospital, Manassas. The Updikes have a son, Bryan.

Most Highways Good As New, a Year Following Hurricane Camille One year after Hurricane ( Camille devastated a hugh portion | of Virginia, many of the scars still remain. But many of the 200 , miles of highways that were washed out or obliterated by landslides now are as good as, or better than, before the storm struck. The hurricane smashed Virginia the night of August 19, 1969, causing more than $100 million in damages. The Virginia Department of Highways estimated damages to roads and bridges at more than $19 million; it’s now expected to be just about $20 million. There were 201 miles of road impassable immediately after the storm. By October, at least temporary access had been established to all points in the state. Much restoratation work remains for the Highway Department and the contractors it employs for the task, but with the exception of some water crossings that still require detours, the flood-damaged , highways systems are in service I throughout the state. , The most important traffic I artery struck by the storm was US 29, one of Virginia’s major ; north-south routes. It had 60 blockages in a distance of 18 miles -• 30 landslides and 30 Soc. Security Notes Are you one of the millions of young men or women who can’t rattle off your social security number with certainty? You probably will be able to soon if you’re headed for the armed forces, according to Mrs. Hazel F. Crumpton, district manager for social security in Winchester. “It’s name, rank, and social security number now,’’ says Mrs. Crumpton. Since last summer, most military services have used social security numbers rather than serial numbers for new inductees. This is quite appropriate, she said, since young people serving in the armed forces build up valuable financial protection undersocial security for themselves and their families. “As a matter of fact, members of the armed forces get a special break on social security. Not only does the Government match their contributions, as a private employer does, but servicemen now get a $100 a month “bonus” credit to cover non-cash pay they does, but servicemen now get a $100 a month ‘bonus’ credit to cover non-cash pay they bonus credit.” “Young men who have completed their military service generally have built up enough social security credit to provide monthly checks for themselves and their families if they die or become disabled-even before they start their civilian careers,” Mrs. Crumpton said. “The families of most would still be eligible for social security survivors benefits even though the veteran attended four years or more of college before going to work.” “For example, take the case of a young man who enters the service at the age of 19 and completes two years of servide. His family would be eligible to receive social 19 and completes two years of service. His family would be eligible to receive social disability checks for himself and his family if he became disabled before age 24. “Moreover,” Mrs. Crumpton added, “many wounded Vietnam veterans receive monthly social security disability checks, and the widows and children of many deceased servicemen are getting monthly checks based on the social security credits their husbands earned in the service.” “A lot of people think of social security as just for senior washouts in Nelson and Amherst bounties. Work on its repair >egan August 21. Along a three-mile portion outh of Woods Mill, the lockfish River and Davis and Muddy Creeks had washed away whole sections of highway, severely damaged what was left, md strewn all of it with debris. By August 28, US 29 had been apened from Lynchburg to Lovingston, seven miles south of Woods Mill, with use restricted to local traffic and flood relief vehicles. South of Woods Mill, repairs varied from total replacement to repaving to debris removal. By September 12, two of the four) lanes from Woods Mill to Lovingston had been reopened to normal traffic. On September 29, less than six weeks after the storm, all four lanes were in use. The off-roadway work remained. The other main primary routes with flood damage were VA 56 and VA 151. From the intersection with VA 151 west, VA 56 was unusable for about 17 miles -- half destroyed, the rest inaccessible. One-way trails were opened by early September, and full service was restored gradually. VA 151 had sections of highway scoured from the sides :itizens.” For further information, or to ipply for a social security number ;he officiS at 20S.

One-way trails were opened by early September, and the road was back in full service by the end of the month. Early reports indicated more than 100 bridges destroyed. After the waters receded, many of these were found to be usable at once or after restoration of the approaches; but 94 still were out of service until some kind of replacement could be made. Of the 76 secondary bridges knocked out, 63 now have been replaced - by new bridges, culverts or pipes - and the replacements are as good as the destroyed facilities or better. Of the 19 primary bridges put out of service, permanent repairs have been made to five. For six others, it was a matter of restoring approaches, and they are in service. The other eight have had temporary repairs; the Highway Department expects that contracts for permanent restoration of six of these will be awarded soon. Permanent restoration of the other two will come later, in connection with additional dual-laning of US 29 in Albemarle County.

Alcohol and Highway Accidents “If we could eliminate all causes of highway accidents but one, we would still be faced with 50 percent of the problem-drinking and driving,’’ according to Howard Pyle, president of the National Safety Council. A total of 56,400 Americans died in traffic accidents during 1969, and more than half of these deaths were caused by drinking drivers. More than 28,000 lives might have been saved last year if drivers had either refrained from drinking altogether or had drunk in such a way that their skill and judgment would not have been impaired-and that means waiting at least one hour per average NOTICE OF PBBUC HEARING Notice is hereby given of the intention of the Board of Supervisors of Rappahannock County to adopt the following proposed ordinance at the next regular meeting of said Board on the 5th day of September, 1970, commencing at 10:00 a.m. at the Courthouse in Washington, Virginia: “ORDINANCE!. - Regulations, etc., of Assemblies or Movement of Persons or Vehicles Under Certain Circumstances— “BE IT ORDAINED by the Boaird of Supervisors of Rappahannock County, Virginia, that the Sheriff of said County ie hereby authorized and empowered to regulate, restrict or prohibit any assembly of persons or the movement therein of persons or vehicles when there exists an imminent threat of any civil commotion or disturbance in the nature of a riot in Rappahannock County or any part thereof which constitutes a clear and present danger thereof. "The provisions of this Ordinance shall be liberally construed in order to effectively carry out the purposes hereof in the interest of the public health, welfare and safety of the citizens and residents of Rappahannock County, Virginia. 'This Ordinance is adopted pursuant to Title 15.1, Chapter 12, Article 1 of the 1950 Code of Virginia, as amended, and shall be h» full force and effect upon adoption." All interested persons may appear before the Board at the aforesaid time and place and will be given an opportunity to be heard either in support of or in opposition to the proposed Ordinance. By order of the Board of Supervisors. _ _ E. M. Jones, Clerk Irtnk before attempting to drive, iccording to ttie Council. Under normal circumstances, he driver’s brain constantly ecetves information which helps lim keep his vehicle moving isfely through traffic. Alcoholic beverages hinder this process in many ways. Because he driver’s senses are dulled, the nformatlon his brain receives nay be distorted. His judgment is mpalred and his normal inhibitions are dulled. He cannot think as clearly, quickly, or rationally as he normally does. In addition, alcohol dulls the driver’s awareness of the degree to which he Is impaired. The drunken driver develops a false sense of confidence, endangering himself and everyone bn the road with him. Alcohol is a depressant which acts as an anesthetic on the central nervous system. It is absorbed directly into the blood from the stomach and intestines and carried through to all parts of the body-including the brain. Alcohol first affects the cerebrum, the center of the brain that controls judgment. Reflexes are slowed, coordination is impaired, visual acuity is reduced, bearing is adversely affected, and concentration becomes difficult. Concentration of alcohol in the bloodstream is determined by: ’'‘the amount of alcohol consumed "‘the length of time since drinking began '"the length of time since the last drink *body weight '"the quantity and kind of food in the stomach at the time of drinking The system eliminates alcohol through excretion and metabolism, and these processes usually take about one hour per drink. Black coffee, cold showers, and physical exercises may make the drinker more alert, but they do not make him more sober. Drivers should allow at least one hour per average drink to regain the muscular coordination, visual acuity, and good judgment necessary to operate a motor vehicle. Again, if we could get the drunken driver off the road, we might eliminate about 28,000 needless deaths each year. Rep. Marsh Checks Oil Supply Situation Rep. John O. Marsh, Jr., has asked President Nixon to help insure adequate heating oil supplies for Virginia communities whose regular suppliers have warned them oil deliveries for the coming heating season are uncertain. Marsh told the President in a telegram that he had been receiving pleas for assistance from business establishments and public facilities, “including a hospital,” in his 7th Congressional District, who had been told by their local dealers that the dealers’ allotments from suppliers were being reduced “by more than 70 per cent.” He stated that the problem appeared to be concentrated in the low-grade oils used in the heating plants of many business establishments and institutions and to fuel some industrial processes. He acknowledged that there were a number of factors entering into national policy on the importation of supplemental supplies of these “residual" oils, but asked the President’s help in “the short-term problems” of users dependent on dealers in small and moderate-sized communities who are now are being placed on “minimal rations” by major distributors. While supplies of higher-grade oils continue to be available, Marsh noted, the plants and institutions complaining to him “will find it mechanically or economically infeasible to convert equipment to other grades of oil in time for the new heating season.” Amissville Area News and Personals Mr. and Mrs. John Williams and Betsy spent last week In Montpelier, Vt. where they rial ted Mrs. Williams* mother, Mrs. Margerie Bresette.

Security Notes “Publishing questions and nswers similar to those we daily eceive, is an interesting way to iterest others in ready about Dcial security,” so said Mrs. [azel F. Crumpton recently. The local office at 20 South ameron Street, will be happy to nswer any questions that others lay have,” the local district lanager reported. Question: My wife and I now ave four children (2 sets of vins) after only 3 years of larriage. At 23 we’re both orried about their future if I lould die. Would social security rovide anything?

Payments also re made to the mother while hildren under 18 remain in her are. Benefits are based on the worker’s average earnings under ocial security. A family may [ualify for payments if the worker has social security credit or as little as l’/s years of work in he two years before death, ’ayments can range from a ninimun of $96 monthly for a amily your size-the exact mount depends on the parents iverage earnings and Question: I’ve worked and :ontributed to social security for ix years now but still don’t mderstand how the program vorks. What’s the basic idea inyway-just future retirement ncome? Answer: The basic idea of ocial security is a simple one.

Parks People are packing into Virginia state parks this year more than ever, and the Division of Parks expects a record number of visitors in the remaining month of the summer season. The 1970 attendance was more than 1.5 million at the beginning of August, topping all previous years, the division reported. State parks are popular with Virginians of all ages and races, the division said, and they attract many tourists from other states and Canada. Vacation-time activitiesswimming, horseback riding, and pleasure boating in paddle craft -will come to a close after Labor Day on Sept. 7. Virginia’s ten major parks and three recreational areas are open year-round, however, and visitors use the campgrounds, picnic areas, boat launching ramps for fishing boats, and nature trails around the calendar. Two state parks which are mainly sightseeing attractions at present will remain in operation several weeks after Labor Day. Chippokes Plantation, on the James River in Surry County, will keep its exhibition buildins and formal garden on view in September, and Natural Tunnel in Southwest Virginia’s Scott County is scheduled to stay open through October. Vacation cabins in eight parks are completely reserved during August, but vacancies will exist after Labor Day until the cottages close Sept. 29, the division said. Cabins are rented for a week at a time, and on weekends or daily only when reservations have not already been taken. All reservations are made through the division’s Richmond office in the Southern States Building. In addition to the recreation facilities which close after Labor Day, evening programs and nature walks conducted by seasonal naturalists will come to a close. However, several nature centers where exhibits are displayed daily during the summer will remain open on weekends. The self-guided nature trails are always available for walking. Four of the park system’s five restaurants will cease operating the second week in September, but the Hungry Mother Grill at Hungry Mother State Park near Marion continues into the fall. Three state-owned historical, sites also will close after the summer season. They are the George Washington Grist Mill in j Fairfax County, Sayler’s Creek Battlefield Park near Farmville, and Shot Tower Historical Park in Wythe County. Another attraction, the Southwest Virginia Museum in Big Stone Gap, is open year-round every day except Mondays. At Douthat State Park near Clifton Forge, a change is being made this year in the trout-fishing schedule.
