VA. STRie* RICHUOHO 19t Sintl* Caov - 10c Assembly Ordinance Adopted; Saturday Meetings Unsatisfactory to Board The September meeting of the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors was held Saturday morning at the courthouse at 10 a.m. It was apparent through the meeting that Saturday was not proving to be exactly satisfactory for a meeting date; one Board member had to leaVe before it was half over; only one outside agency was represented and the number of interested citizens attending was disappointing though a hearing on the assembly ordinance was scheduled. At the suggestion of the Chairman, plans were made to work out a more satisfactory time for all concerned. This will be discussed at a special meeting set for Tuesday, September 15. Dumping facilities were extensively discussed. Time is approaching for the renewal of a contract with the present refuse company or if a renewal is not satisfactory, other means of refuse handling must be secured. Most Board members felt the present service was not satisfactory; however, most felt the public was also abusing the facilities. At some locations large objects as stoves, refrigerators, etc. have been dumped and the contract does not cover these. The public hearing on the assembly ordinance was opened and Mrs. Eileen Day of Sperryville voiced the opinion that this ordinance was delegating too much responsibility to the sheriff. Commonwealth’s Attorney George H. Davis said that regulating assemblies was a delicate procedure and the proposed ordinance was just about the only manner in which it could be handled. A vote of the board proved unanimous for the adoption of the ordinance. School Superintendent 0. A. Norton reported a problem with Low Number of Consignors So Far In Oct. Rappk. Feeder Calf Sale The low number of calves consigned to the Rappahannock Angus Feeder Sale threatens the future of the sale, according to a report given this week by the president of the Rappahannock Angus Feeder Calf Association. The sale for years has been among the very top sales in the State of Virginia. Low prices received last year for heifer calves, pink-eye vaccination requirements have discouraged consignments for the October 13 sale to be held in Front Royal. Martin Strate, secretary of the Virginia Beef Cattle Association, assured sale officials on Monday that he would make a special effort to promote the 1970 Rappahannock Angus Feeder Sale where Angus-Charolais crosses are expected to be sold for the first time. Rappahannock County has sufficient Angus cattle population to support an Angus Feeder Calf Sale but broader support from producers is necessary if the sale is to continue. Rappahannock Angus producers, large and small, are urged to consign their calves to this fall’s sale as soon as possible. Rappahannock’s very own sale with broad support from. Angus producers can regain its rank among the top feeder cattle sales in Virginia. the roof of the local high school gymnasium. The roof is in extremely bad condition and will have to be repaired at a cost of $3,000 for half of it and $5,800 for a complete job. Much concern was voiced over such extensive repairs being needed on a building which is only eleven years old. Mr. Norton was advised to obtain a second estimate on the work. Chairman J. N. Miller felt a letter should be written the State Board of Education concerning the roof which was built to state specifications. He felt some other county might be spared the same problem if attention was brought to it. Current accounts were approved for payment before adjournment. Instruction On Oxygen An instruction session on the giving of oxygen with breathing apparatus will be given at the Flint Hill Fire Hall, September 17 at 7:30 for the benefit of the Amissville and Flint Hill Rescue Squads.

Home Agent Economics, Rappahannock, Mias Judy Burtner seems to have her work cut out for her, at least for s while. Miss Burtner is in the process of sending out questionnaires for an activity interest survey for the county. The cooperation of the public is urged in filling out the form fend returning it to the Extension Office in Washington, Va. Questions included on the form are not too personal or the least offensive and all forms are coded for replies. Human Resources Survey Questionnaire Circulated by Extension Service Here In order to make the best use of the human resources in Rappahannock County a survey will be circulated among county residents in the form of a questionnaire to be mailed out from the Extension Office September 15. This survey is being co-sponsored by civic-minded residents of Rappahannock County and the Cooperative Extension Service. The purposes of the survey are twofold: 1) To determine the main interests areas of county residents; 2) To find out what specific interests residents may ike to share with other county residents. TTie deadline for returning the questionnaire has been set for Tuesday, October 1. It may be mailed to Box 98, Washington, Va., 22747 or brought to the Extension Office. If questionnaires are not returned by this date, interviewers in the county will call by phone or visit the homes of those not returned to get the information listed on the form. The results of this survey will be made available to anyone desiring it. Plans now include making it available to all civic organizations plus filing a copy in the county library. It is also hoped that the results will bej helpful to those involved in the Extension Program. A copy of the Quesionnaire reads as follows: Sel. Serv.

He expresses exactly why he loves every minute he is able to spend here, and his profound thoughts coincide with many of the rest of us. Eventide comes slowly in the blue Virginia hills, the air grows cool and stillness creeps softly across the fields and through the woods. The trees stand quietly, their leafy arms stretching upward after the day long agitation by the wind, as if beginning their evening rest. The Pee-wee'o plaintive call comes clearly now from out of the cool green shade, and cardinals flash red as they whistle an<\ fly to eat the seeds so freely spread upon the ground. From far away a crow sends out an inquiry to find out if it is time to roost up on the mountain top. Soaring vultures sweep in long circles - their piercing eyes searching the ground. It's nearly dark, and the Whip-poor-wills proclaim the evening hour is o’er. 1 sit and look and listen- to the mounting cadence of myriad insects whose sounds were drowned by noises of the day. My thoughts soar out to where the last glow of light outlines the ridges against the sky, and peace pervades my soul Because I share this great expanse of earth and sky with other eouls who see and hear the wonders of God’s world pass by. Today’s Woman Judy Burtner Extension Agent, Home Economics Few are the families which have not seen their best-made financial pi an shattered by the arrival of one or more completely forgotten bills. There may be property insurance, usually due each three years; auto insurance, payable every,’•jB months; property^ t*ft£Sc -payable yearly; and others. It is not too surprising that some of such large and irregular bills can be forgotten until it is time to pay them. To assist families in making realistic financial plans, Miss Hilda Daily, extension specialist in home management at Virginia Tech’s Coflege of Home Economics, has prepared Virginia Tech extension publication MHM-41, “Financial Planning for Large Irregular Expenses.” Included is a sample work sheet, developed by a bank, showing how to build a reserve fund to pay such expenses. The work sheet shows how to determine the amount to be set aside each month for large, irregular expenses. It also offers a method of managing the reserve fund and provides space to record its progress. First entered on the work sheet is each irregular bill expected. Entries will include the date payment is due, a description of the item and the amount. The year’s total of all large irregular expenses divided by 12 is the amount of monthly deposits that must be made if the expenses are to be met as they come due. To clarify any misunderstanding, Miss Dailey cites a typical family’s situation. Due in January was a $165 life insurance payment. A $60 auto insurance payment had to be met in April. The family’s total such irregular expenses for the year was $900. Thus $75 was set aside each month for a reserve fund. Each month, January through December, the family deposited $75 ip the reserve, fund, paid whatever bills l Were due and recorded a plus or minus reserve fund balance. In the event of a minus balance in the reserve fund, a bank loan was used to help pay whatever bills were due. The loan was repaid with the next deposit into the reserve fund. Miss Dailey cautioned families to remember the reserve fund is not for use in emergencies, but only for large, predictable bills which are not paid each month. Copies of MHM-41, including a reserve fund work sheet, are available at the county extension offices.

The low bid was received from a group of Virginia contractors on July 22 and has received the concurrence of the Federal Highway Administration. Ihe dollar value of the contract is the largest in the history of the departments •>. lire contractors are Brothers Company, Division of Ashland Oil, Inc., of Richmond; Wiley N. Jackson Company of Roanoke; Talbott-Marks Company of Clarksville, and Moore Brothers Company and Moore Brothers Company, Inc., both of Verona. Although the project along Interstate 95 (the Shirley Highway) is just over one mile in length, it will be one of the most complex and challenging highway construction jobs ever undertaken in the eastern United States. It includes 17 bridges, some of them tri-level in design, and will have a basic plan of four lanes each for northbound and southbound traffic and two center lanes intended for eventual use in a reversible pattern for peak-hour traffic. Complicating the construction is the fact that the contractors will be required to provide for continued movement of traffic through the work. And the Shirley Highway in that area with almost 100,000 vehicles a day, is Virginia’s busiest road. The contract also includes a provision giving priority to extension of the experimental busway the remainder of the distance to Washington, with a requirement that this be completed and ready for commuter buses by next spring. At present, special bus lanes are provided from the Edsall Road area to Shirlington, and an additional mile and a half of busway will be opened about mid-September. On the overall contract approved by the Highway Commission, work is scheduled tc get underway immediately and it expected to be completed by late 1973. Smokey Saya: Please Protect our forests!

Although there will be some damage, this year’s crop will not be lost. The ailment, a fungus disease, was recently reported from several Southern states and from a few in the com belt. Robert Pristou, extension plant pathologist at Virginia Tech, assured those professing alarm that the situation is not as serious as some reports would indicate.“However, the ultimate damage cannot be predicted,” he cautioned. Describing the disease Pristou said, “Southern com leaf blight, like Northern com leaf blight, is found wherever com is grown under humid conditions. It is confined chiefly to the Southeastern United States. But, it does occur in Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and eastward to the Atlantic coast.” The disease manifests itself in a spotted discoloration of the com plant leaf. Its typical lesions are parallel sided and gray to tan in color. Lesions range from minute spots to streaks of V4 to 1V4 inches across. The tips of ears and sweet com silks may also be attacked. The disease is caused by the fungus Helminthosporium maydis. Spores are long, narrow and slightly curved. Like many fungi, they overwinter in the soil and are spread by winds. “Like Northern com leaf blight, control of Southern com leaf blight is best accomplished through the use of resistant com hybrids,” Pristou said. Plant pathologists believe the iisease is flaring because the fungus has developed a new and itronger race to which most com varieties are highly susceptible,” idvised Pristou. “The science of :om development will marshal its energies and resources to breed lybrids with resistance to the lew race. This will take at least :wo years,” he added. Where the old race attacked inly the com leaves, the new race it tacks the ear as well. Southern com leaf blight is not lew to Virginia. It was first noted in the early 1940’s when it reached almost epidemic proportions before com breeders developed resistant hybrids. Severity of damage to the crop seems to depend upon the time of its infection,-'. Grain ; aad farage yields could be materially reduced in fields infected early, before the plants ha<f set their ears and were still producing leaves to convert plant nutrients for the development of the ears to come. “The Infected com plants on which the ears had already set will most likely develop usable grain with not too much of a loss In quality,” Prlstou noted. “Late planted com crops are most likely to suffer severe damage,” he added. Pristou explained that studies show the disease has moved from South to North according to prevailing winds. In Virginia, it is most prevalent in the Piedmont and Tidewater areas, and could occur in all parts of the state. Silage and grain from com crops infected with Southern com leaf blight can be fed to livestock without endangering the animals. Rappk Has 420 Veterans Living There are 420 veterans in Rappahannock County, and 540.000 in Virginia acconling to Veterans Administration figures released today based on America's 27.3 million former servicemen as of the beginning of 1970, according to the director of the Roanoke VA Regional Office. According to the latest available figures, some 60 Rappahannock County and 71,000 Virginia veterans were in service during the Vietnam era - that is, after Aug. 4, 1964. World War II veterans make up the largest group with 190 from Rappahannock County and 297.000 from Virginia. Korean Conflict veterans number 80 in Rappahannock County and 127.000 in Virginia. Some 50 Rappahannock County and 60.000 state veterans saw military service only between the Korean Conflict and the Vietnam era (Feb. 1,1955 - Aug. 4,1964). Of 26,000 World War I veterans in Virginia, 50 are from Rappahannock. Nationally, there are about 5,000 Spanish American War Veterans living. Hie statistical breakdown points out that of the 540,000 living veterans in Virginia some 6,000 served in both the Vietnam and Korean Conflicts and about 35.000 served during both the Korean Conflict and World War II.

No Grazing Allowed On Diverted Acres Rappahannock farmers cooperating in the 1970 feed grain and wheat programs were reminded that they may not graze livestock on diverted acreage until October 1, 1970. Haying or other uses are not permitted on acreage which farmers agreed to divert from production in return for farm program benefits. H. S Barksdale, Chairman of the Rappahannock County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation (ASC) Committee, pointed out that the farm program agreements entered into by producers cover the entire calendar year. He explained that as part of the effort to balance production with demand, feed grain and wheat producers agreed to divert a portion of their cropland from production and maintain it in a conserving use. In return for participating in the programs they earned price support payments or wheat marketing certificates, and their program crops are eligible for price-support loans. “All farm program payments in Rappahannock County have now been made,” the ASC Committee Chairman add. “I want to remind farmers that their diverted acreage must continue to be maintained, however, and that no grazing is permitted until October 1, 1970. Haying is not permitted.” He explained that in event of intentional violation, a fanner may lose -all * prqgrfini benefits. He also reminded fanners that erosion, weeds, insects, and rodents must be controlled on acreage diverted under the 1970 feed grain and wheat programs. • t. / The United States is the world • largest exporter of farm products.

Urban Mass Transit Experiments Use Reserve Lanes for Commuter Buses Virginia’s unique experiment in urban mass transit - reserving lanes of the Shirley Highway in Northern Virginia for commuter buses - is set for a major expansion September 14, the State Department of Highways said today. Commissioner Douglas B. Fugate said the expansion will include the following steps -- (1) Opening an extra mile and a half of the experimental busway, extending it to six miles in length. (2) The addition of 50 more buses by the AB&W Transit Company during the peak traffic periods, and (3) Use of the busway lanes by commuter buses outbound in the afternoons as well as inbound in the mornings, the period to which they have been confined thus far. The Commissioner said that these new developments, as the initial experiment itself, “represent a cooperative, coordinated undertaking between the transit company, the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments, the United States Department of Transportation and the Department of Highways.” The Shirley Highway experiment is designed to determine whether preferential treatment for buses - permitting them to move comparatively fast and unimpeded - will encourage more commuters to ride buses and leave their cars behind, thus reducing normal congestion during peak traffic hours. It was the first time in the nation that lanes of the interstate highway system had been reserved for buses. “We believe more effective use of urban buses is the most feasible solution to the obvious need for improved mass transportation in most urban areas and, consequently, the most Mr. and Mrs. Peter Sevareid and family left Tuesday to return to their home in Nairobi, Kenya.

He said such innovations represented one of the reasons behind the establishment of the Metropolitan Transportation Planning Division in the Department of Highways last year. That division, headed by Kenneth M. Wilkinson, is coordinating the Shirley Highway experiment and making other mass transit studies. The major expansion of the experimental busway operation September 14 will be marked with a ceremony being arranged by the Metropolitan Council of Governments. Top federal, state and local officials are expected to participate. Extension of the busway will mean that the special lanes will be in use from Edsall Road on the South, through Shirlington Circle (where they now end), to 20th Street near the Army-Navy Country Club in Arlington on the north. The extra mile and a half will provide one 18-foot-wide lane for the buses, and has been built on a first-priority basis under a federal-aid contract continuing the reconstruction of the Shirley Highway as part of Interstate 95. The contract was awarded in January. Another contract just approved by the Commission - and in which the Federal Highway Administration has concurred - gives priority to extending the busway an additional two and a half miles to the 14th Street Bridge into Washington next spring. That overall contract also provides for reconstruction of the complex Shirley Highway “mixing bowl” interchange at the Pentagon. The extensions will supplement the reserved lanes in use for the past year between Edsall Road and Shirlington Circle. On that segment, two center lanes designed for eventual use in a reversible pattern by inbound and outbound traffic at peak periods, when the Shirley reconstruction has been completed, are being used for the bus experiment. The next extensions will be temporary roadways built specifically for the buses. The extent to which the preferential bus privileges will be continued on a long-range basis after the Shirley rebuilding is finished will depend on the extent to which use of buses reduces other traffic congestion. Thus far, Fugate and Wilkinson noted, the experiment is considered modestly successful. When it began last September, 39 bus trips served an average of 1,875 passengers along the highway between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. daily. At last report, 48 buses were serving approximately 2,600 riders in the same period, an increase of 37 per cent. With the opening of the mile and a half extension, Inbound buses will have reserved use of the special lanes from Edsall Road to 20th Street between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m„ then will move back into the conventional traffic lanes until the rest of the busway has been completed next spring. In the afternoon, between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m., the buses will use the conventional traffic lanes outbound to 20th Street, and then will enter the busway for exclusive use south to Duke Street, where they will join other traffic permitted to use the center lanes southbound in the afternoon.

The little carefree car. PINTO If you have the questions, Pinto has the answers. Q. What do you mean, “carefree”? A. Pinto’s designed to free you from car cares, big and little. Cares about high prices and big gas bills. Cares about parking. Cares about service and reliability. Power and stability. Quiet and roominess. Q. You say Pinto is little. How little? A. Pinto is only 3 inches longer than VW. But its turning circle is actually a little less, so Pinto can slip easily into tight parking spaces. Q. And inside? A. Pinto gives you more interior roominess overall than Volkswagen. And getting in and out is easier because Pinto’s doors are a good half-foot wider. Q. What about price? A. Pinto is priced like the little economy imports, tQo. Q. What about power? A. Pinto delivers 75 horsepower and averages over 25 miles per gallon in simulated city/'suburban driving. The engine is front-mounted and exceptionally quiet for a car in this class. Pinto is the only American economy car equipped with a 4speed, fully synchronized transmission at no extra cost. ^ Q. What else is standard equipment? A. High Back bucket seats. DirectAire ventilation with upper-level fresh air outlets. Heater defroster with 3-speed fan. Two-speed electric windshield wipers. Electric windshield washers. Your choice of 15 exterior colors. And more. Q. How about optional extras? A. Pinto offers a 100-hp engine and 3-speed automatic transmission. Front disc brakes. Even built-in air conditioning. Tinted glass. Vinyl roof. “Flipper” rear quarter windows. Fold-down rear seat. Bumper guards and side molding with vinyl inserts to protect the paint. More than most imports offer—at prices economy-car buyers can afford. Q. Reliability? A. Pinto’s engine has already logged 50 million owner-driven miles. And the strength of some of Pinto’s parts makes ordinary little economy cars look puny by comparison. Parts like the starter motor, ball joints, rear wheel bearings are heavy duty. Craftsmanship? Pinto is the only American car With hand-matched transmission gears. Q. What’s Pinto like out on the road? A. Pinto has a wider stance than any economy import, for better stability in turns and gusty crosswinds. For more road feel, and more precise handling, Pinto has rack & pinion steering—like Porsche and Jaguar—something you won’t find on any other American car. Q. Tell me about service. A. Pinto is so simple you can do much of the maintenance yourself, if you like. The Owner’s Manual shows you how. And Pinto’s free Do-It-Yourself Key helps you perform minor service functions. Q. Suppose I don’t service Pinto myself? A. You still save when your Ford Dealer does it. For example, Pinto needs an oil change half as often as the leading import. -And a chassis lube only one-sixth as often. Q. Sounds great—where can I testdrive Pinto? A. Your nearest Ford Dealer. And if you have any more questions, he can answer them. A little Better Idea from Ford. Batlar IdM lor uMy: Buck* up Pord I’unt, Pass# Kick Competition.

MOUNTAIN MEN: Shown above is the Woodberry Forest cross-country team that initiated 1970 practice with a 97 mile run. Starting Saturday morning from Rockfish Gap—dividing point between Augusta, Albemarle, and Nelson Counties-the eight man squad traversed the Appalachian Trail to Cheater Gap between Rappahannock and Warren Counties. Coaches David Bloor and Whitney Azoy led the safari which arrived at Chester Gap late Tuesday afternoon after camping in the evenings along the trail. Runners in the above pix are (1-r) Mac Ball, co-captain Ricky Bell, Len Treater, Grant Trevor, Coach David Bloor, John Thomas, manager Mike Hunter, co-captain Kip Brundage, and Austin Ball. In the photo at left co-captain Bell leads Coach Bloor through a forest glade. Ricky was the only team member to run the whole distance and he spent 23 hours in motion. Opening 1970 meet for the defending state champion Tigers is a home stand against Collegiate on Sept. 26. Coach Azoy took the pictures. Missions Rally— (Continued from Page 1) Missions Rally. The public is cordially invited to attend the services at Good Hope on the 19th and in the cooperating churches from September 20-25th. Those churches in the Shiloh Baptist Association joining in the World Missions Conference are: Alum Spring, Cedar Run, Crooked Run, Culpeper, Gourdvine, Lower Rapidan and New Salem (Culpeper County); Amissville, Mt. Lebanon, Reynolds Memorial, and Woodville (Rappahannock County); Good Hope (Madison County); and Blue Run (Orange County). The census of Agriculture will count about 2,979,000 farms this year, according to the U. S. Department of Agriculture. This is nearly 28% less than in 1959 ind the lowest number since 1870. Space Problems In The Home With the high cost of housing, space for living has been decreasing and many families find themselves housed in quarters which might be considered too small for comfort. Ideally, we would like to have' more space; but since this may not be possible, we find there are ways we can better utilize the space available. First comes on analysis of just what activities take place, or how the family would like to utilize the space. Then a study of how the space is arranged and used at the present is necessary. Now, what done to rearrange things so there is space for all activities the family enjoys? This may also, caU for some adjustment in attitudes, as decisions are made to do away with seldom used dining room furniture-, for instance, in favor of a console cabinet with a table folded into it. Taking up a space about the size of a small buffet, the table will open to 104". In the meantime, the top drawer will store linens. Then there is the drop leaf extepsion table which foils to 8" when not in use and extends to 110" when needed for dining. There are other such dual purpose pieces suitable for dining, also. Some desks or buffets have fold down backs or ends which left for dining or serving, or tops Well Help Your Mailing lo Go Farther f Reach more people more effectively ^ with literature that persuades as well as appeals.

Then there's the coffee table which lifts to a convenient height for eating or for games. J^tra^ eet^g, ;space h«faif sometimes be provided in the kitchen by a simple table top which is hinged to the wall and folds out of the way when not in use. Such a table can be used for hobbies, study, or games if adequate light is provided. Where space is limited, furniture that performs several functions is a great convenience. The arrangement of furniture to give a feeling of spaciousness is important. Design the arrangement to permit the free flow of traffic and leaving enough open area to avoid a closed-in feeling. Compact seating arrangements can be planned out of the way of traffic lanes. Color combinations can do a great deal to make a small area appear more spacious. When working with a series of small rooms, a more “open" feeling is achieve^ if major colors are carried from one room to Fir• and fiascos Service Numbart in Rappk. Cnty.

Wall-to-wall or room •teed carpeting will usually give a more unified feeling than area or acattered rugs. However, area mgs might well be used to set off an area for conversation or for dining where a room Is serving a multi-purpose. To give more floor'space in the family or activity area consider be possibility of eliminating amp tables and Instead use ranging swag or pendant lamps. n>eae are available In functional amps as well as decorative ones, n the bedroom too, if space maids the bed is limited-or if space on the bedside table is imited-the hanging lamp has a definite place. Remember that proper ugnttng tecnmquw can help make space more comfortable and convenient. The convertible sofa has long been a boom to those who need occasional extra sleeping space, or even for regular sleeping. But did you know that convertible chairs and ottomans are also available? The amount of space for opening the convertible piece may determine your choice here. Some sofas open out so the head is toward the sofa back, others let down so that the back of the sofa becomes part of the bed. The fold-out type takes more floor space. Good news now, is that aome manufacturers of convertible sofas are making chairs to be sold with them. Up until recently, they came mostly as singles. A wide choice from love-seat width to 96” sofas are available in the convertibles. Also to help make sleeping space serve as dual purpose, there is the twin-bed set which is partially tucked under a comer table. This is excellent for two teenage boys or girls who share a room and enjoy using the room for daytime activities. For a studio-type apartment, the type of arrangement has advantages also. The beds can be kept make up for sleeping and topped with a fitted cover and big cushions to Hobbies such as sewing, where the homemaker wants to leave her things out until a project is finished often causes frustrations when space is limited. An attractive screen might be used to put this out-of-sight, if no other space can be converted. If there is an extra bedroom, a studio room such as described above can be a sewing room when it is not in use and then the sewing machine can quickly fold into a desk or bedside table when guests arrive for overnight. Storage is often a problem where space is limited. Storage units are available in a wide variety df sizes and styles. These can be combined for an entire wall of storage or used in other arrangements which appear more as furniture.

High Repair Charges Increase Insurance Imagine being presented with a garage repair bill for 20 million automobile accidents. That is what the insurance Industry is faced with as a result of traffic mishaps throughout the United States last year. The Insurance Information Institute has estimated that the tdtal economic loss from automobile accidents from 1969 adll be $16.5 billion, an increase of 15.8 per cent over the previous year. The $16.5 billion represents the cost of repairing the automobiles, but also includes lost wages, medical expenses, and the service costs of insurance resulting from some 20,385,000 accidents in which an estimated 56,300 Americans died and more than 4.6 million were injured. While the losses are paid for largely through insurance companies, the Institute notes that the ultimate cost falls upon those who pay insurance premiums. Modern design and increased labor costs, have combined to send auto repair costs soaring in recent years. The increased cost of car repairs reflects more expensive designs such as wrap-around windshields and bumpers, modem safety devices, unitized and welded body structures, power equipment and numerous features being improved annually. While modern times brought complex parts which cost more than their simple predecessors, increased difficulty in replacing the parts coupled with inflation has skyrocketed the cost of labor. While the hourly labor rate in repair garages was approximately $5 in 1965, the Institute notes the average labor charges now exceed $7 per hour. Another insurance industry organization, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, recently reported on a series of automobile crash tests which “clearly established the remarkable delicacy oi contemporary autos.” When medium-priced cars were crashed front-end into a barrier at five miles per hour--the speed of a fast walk-the average estimated damage to the can was $200.28. The same tests, but on the rear ends of four such can at five miles per hour, resulted in average estimated damage of $214.11. Auto crash tests involving front-end crashes at 10 miles per hour-which is jogging speed-of four medium priced cars resulted in average estimated damage of $652.46. How does all of this affect you and the price you pay for your car insurance? Automobile insurance rates are based, fundamentally on two things: The average cost of settling incurred claims, and the number of claims per every 100 insured can. A certain amount out of every premium dollar is earmarked for the payment of claims, and when the incurred losses exceed that allocated amount an increase in insurance rates is indicated. The cost of auto repain has a definite bearing on three major forms of insurance coverage: (1) property damage liability, which pays for damages caused by a policyholder to another person’s property, including the other’s automobile; (2) collision, which provides reimbursement for destruction of or damage to the policyholder’s car through BACK YARD SALE Sat. Sept. 12 10 a.m. j Beaver Valley Farm l Yu mile from Hackley’s Store on Viewtown Rd. AmUsville, Va. collision with another car or any other object, or resulting from an upset; or (3) comprehensive, which covers virtually any damage to a car from any cause other then collision or upset. Every policy, of course, specifies the limits of the damage for which the company assumes financial responsibility. i - So, you and other Insured motorists did Indirectly receive a repair bill for 20 million automobile accidents. And while the cost of repairing the cars is staggering, do not overlook the tragedy of having 56,300 Americans die and 4.6 million, others injured on our highways last year.

This Adam’s rib >it has led to some interesting thoughts. I would like to mention me that seems to have some worthwhile logic. I once heard this old colored man postulating in this manner; a man is made out uf mud and a woman is made out :>f bone, that makes a woman cleaner than a man. If a woman washes herself good and dries herself off with a towel, the towel will be dean because it is easy to clean a bone. But let a man wash his self as many times as he likes and he will dirty the towel each time because he is mud and it keeps rubbin’ off.’ Pretty good logic? Woman’s Lib?

A couple of friends were up to see me a few days ago and we, were talking about this movement. The lady said that she : didn’t want to be equal to anybody else, she was satisfied with herself just as she was. Well, bless her heart, if I were endowed with some of her qualities I would be more satisfied with myself. The gentleman said that he didn’t believe there is any such thing as true equality. I can concur with that thought completely. I have never seen two things completely alike, therefore not equal; no leaves, grains of sand, nothing.

If it touches an exposed live wire you might become an incandescent snake dancer. Working around the house is sort of like a kindergarten arithmetic class: It’s the little things that count. Here are a few safety pin-ups: While drilling, chipping, grinding or striking metal on metal, wear some sort of face guard. Some dumb spark might fly up and go for your face, oi eye. _ When using bladed instruments, cut away from you and not inward, or toward your body. Ii the sharp instrument slips, it’s tai less painful to slice the air instead of your anatomy. Keep your tools in safe operating condition. A loose hatchet handle, for instance, might cause the blade to sail off and cause you to split your sides - and not from laughing. Concentrate on whatever job you’re doing. A wandering mind while you’re busy at the buzz saw can result in some unplanned severing. If you’re banging away with a hammer, keep your attention on the nail or other object of your slamming. Otherwise, you might drive yourself to the medicine Miest, or maybe even the hospital. ' If you need or want additional information about safety in using hand tools, your insurance agent or insurance carrier will be happy to help you get a supply of such accident-prevention material. Soc. Security Notes “We hear interesting questions about social security each day” Mrs. Hazel F. Crumpton, district manager of the Winchester social security office said recently. Some examples are being printed in hopes that others may be enlightened about social security. Question: As a college student, I work part-time each semester and full-time during college vacations. The social security contributions coming out of my pay could help me meet expenses. Why deduct from my earnings now, considering the number of full-time years in the future I’ll have to pay? Will I really get my money’s worth over the long run? Answer: You and other young w o r k e r s - - p a r t -1ime or full-time-are earning valuable social security retirement, survivqrs, and disability insurance protection worth more than the social security contributions you pay. If you have llA years or more of recent work in your social security record, you and your family may count on monthly benefits if you become disabled. And your family would get monthly benefits if you died. Gamings of as little as $50 in any H. L BORDEN LUMBER GO.

Question: My wife and I have both worked full-time since our marriage 10 years ago. We are both concerned over the social security contributions she must pay, especially since she can get payments on my work record. Why deduct from my wife’s earnings when she can get payments whether she works or not? Answer: It’s true that your wife could qualify for payments on your social security record whether she works or not. However, an important consideration is the valuable protection she has built up as a result of her own work. Now that she has worked 10 years, she can be assured of a benefit on her own record at 62 or later. She can receive this benefit even if you continue to work after her retirement. Also, the chances are that the benefit on her own record will be higher than the benefit payable as a dependent wife. Your wife’s work also gives her disability protection if she should become disabled before 65. If you have children, they also would be eligible to receive survivors benefits based on her work. And, in the event of her death, a lump-sum death payment would be made even if you had no children.
