Highway bept Reports 1969-70 Jobs Total $137 Million A total of 169 road construction projects amounting to 290 miles in length and costing $137 million were completed in Virginia during the 1969-70 fiscal year, the State Highway Commission said today in its 63d annual report. In addition, 243 other projects totaling 588 miles in length were underway when the fiscal year ended June 30, the Commission said. Cost of these uncompleted projects is about $398 million. The construction progress was noted in a 34-page report covering operations of the Department of Highways’ 19 divisions and eight districts. It also Includes discussions of three topics which the Commission observed occupied much of the time of highway employes during the year •• environmental considerations in planning and construction, restoration after the Hurricane Camille flooding In August of 1969, and the State’s unique experiment reserving lanes of the Shirley Highway In Northern Virginia for commuter buses during rush hours. Construction work completed during the year Included 47 projects totaling 92 miles and $71,119,911 on the Interstate system; 21 projects, 77 miles and $30,676,372 on the arterial network of four-lane divided highways; 17 projects, 25 miles and $6,486,878 on the regular primary system; 16 projects, 16 miles and $17,269,1S7 on the urban system, and 68 projects, 80 miles and $12,486,536 on the secondary system. In the State’s highway maintenance program, bituminous resurfacing was applied to 820 miles, mostly in the primary system, and 4,995 miles received lighter bituminous surface treatments. Repairs were made to 803 bridges, and the capacity of 138 other secondary system bridges was increased to 10 tons or more. “Beyond the immediate future,” the Commission said, “emphasis will continue on completion of the interstate and arterial systems, and on basic upgrading of the regular primary, urban and secondary systems . . “As has always been true, priority of needs and availability of funds will largely determine the schedules. It will be at least late in this decade before the interestate and arterial roads are completed, with current rates of financing.” The Commission said the decade of the ’70s would find continuing concern for environmental values and for developing urban highways for mass transport tlon purposes. “Many Irglnlans are concerned ab ut the danger of destroying our natural and scenic resources; this Commission’s concern Is strong, end will continue to be evident as it works with other agencies and organizations and with individual citizens toward environmental quality. “So far as urban mass transportation is concerned, it may in fact pose the most exciting challenge for highway planners since the days when energies were directed mainly as getting the farmer out of the mud. The present experimental bus project on the Shirley was a first step, for Virginia and for the nation. There will be a great many more steps aimed at gaining the fullest possible efficiency from urban streets and highways to move people,” the Commission said.

RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At Washington, Rappahannock County, Va. Telephone: WASHINGTON 675-3349 MRS. iyjRAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Entered as 2nd Class Mall at the P. O. at#Waahington, Va: Subscriptions (in advance) $3.00 in Rappahannock and adjaeent counties; $3.50 East coast; $4.00 mid-west; $4.50 West. I TITERS to EDITOR Dear Mrs. Latham: In the November 26th issue oi The Rappahannock News, Mrs. Hazel Crumpton, district managei of Medicare, offers her regular seasonal advice to Medicare members. She states that Medicare Medical Insurance, the voluntary part of Medicare that helps pay doctor bills and other health services, pays 80% of covered expenses after the first $50.00. According to an article in Action Line in a recent edition of The Washington Star, payments now amount to slightly over 50% of the bills (after $50.00 deductible). This was based, Action Line stated, on advice from The Travelers Insurance Co. of Roanoke, Va. who reported that payments are based on 80% of 1968 charges, and that actual reimbursement therefore amounts to just over 50%. Very truly yours, Mrs. Donald M. Gehring 409 S. Pitt Street Alexandria, Va. 22314 Dear Sir: On November 19th, 1970 Mr. E. B. (Jake) Cary died of a stroke. He was a resident of Washington, Virginia for many, many years. This man was also my step-grandfather who I owe my life to. It may be remembered many years ago that I fell into an old closed “water well!” I was a small boy at the time and it was my understanding (later in life) that this well had many feet of water left in it. When I fell, my grandfather, by God’s mercy was nearby and heard me go down. He himself came down this well and hauled me back to life again! Although the miles and years have separated we two he has always been close to my heart. Therefore 1 respectfully request that your newspaper thank for me all of those who sent flowers and cards or attended his funeral. He was a big man, with a big heart and a life saving hand. Sincerely, Gerald (Jerry) E. Meadows 8325 Jefferson Hwy Baton Rouge, La. 70809 Dear Mrs. Latham: Do you have a map showing the route of the proposed power line running over the county? There has been much to say on this subject in recent weeks and as yet I have not been able to find a plan for the line. My concern is where will the line run, how much of the county does it cover and will it be only a service to the power company or will the availability of this line serve new power requirements of Rappahannock in the future? All of these things and many more must be considered before the O.K. is granted. If you have a county map showing the route of this NOTICE PUBLIC MEETING All Residents and Landowners of Rappa: ’ hannock County are invited to an open Meeting ngton, Va. at 8 p.m. on Friday, December 18th to discuss the proposed power line to cross Rappahannock County. wSr wMr • i/T •VT • humming monster.please print it in the “News” of December 17, 1970. Sincerely yours, Donald R. Ferrier Open Letter to Mr. Maurice O’Bannon, Mr. Philip Irwin, and Other Citizens of Rappahannock County: Since I cannot be at the public meeting this Friday evening I would like to take this opportunity to voice my wholehearted support of your efforts to bring us together to seriously consider the long term effects of Pepco’s proposed high-powered transmission lines. Your letter pointed up very well that it is we the electric users who, while enjoying the luxury of electric living, must have a say in what the cost will be to us and future generations. What good are our material comforts if through their enjoyment we destroy the beauty of our landscape, a part of our life that should be more dear to us than any push-button appliance that can be dreamed up? But perhaps we can nave ootn if these points are considered: Sooner or later lines are going to have to go underground (picture more and more transmission lines made “necessary” by more and more power consumption), so why not now? In answer to the electric company’s argument of the increased expense of going underground, surely a way can be found to spread the expense over the years so that future generations can help pay the cost. Sooner or later new ways other than electric power and even nuclear power as now produced are going to have to be found to give us these creature comforts, since both are being found to be pollutants of our environment. In this connection several weeks ago Rap Owens, our excellent County Agent, cautioned us in his column not to jump on the anti-pesticide bandwagon too fast, and cited statistics showing saving of lives by use of DDT on mosquitos to stop the spread of malaria, and other statistics about decreased food production that would result from the decreased use of certain pesticides. T’aint necessarily so. Already new ways are being found to produce food and control mosquitos through new methods that are not harmful to human, plant and animal life. And research in this field is just beginning. I bring this into the discussion of electric power transmission lines because to me they are all part of the same problem. High-power transmission lines are defacing the landscape now. Certain pesticides and agricultural compounds are polluting our soil, Panther Tales By Chris Fox This seems to be the week for Christmas events at R.C.H.S. The Seniors are very busy getting plans ready for the Christmas Dance to be held Saturday from 8 until 11 p.m. As an extra added attraction, Santa Claus will be there. Music will be provided by The Gravin’ Image. The S.C.A. is planning a great Christmas assembly. The Choir will present some Christmas selections and the S.C.A. will share the talents of some great actors and actresses with us which they hope we will enjoy. A Pep Rally was held Tuesday to get up some real spirit for the game with William Monroe. Many cheers were shouted to get the boys in the proper spirit for a win that night. The team depends on streams and wildlife, not to mention us, now. Let us at least fight a delaying action, giving a new technology a chance to develop for future generations, a technology that will give us our material comforts, yes, but not at the cost of our nvironment--its beauty, its health, its immense diversity, its wonderment-the earth itself.

o&afa Woman Jodjr Burtn«r hMmloB Agekt, Hopl# EconoaiMt Chestnuts roasting on an oper fire sounds like a good yuletidc activity. It could be very dangerous practice. Every yeai scores of home fires start from unscreened fireplaces from something so small as a spark popping on the carpet. So - * Have a tight screen on the fireplace, one that completely covers the fireplace opening. * Choose hardwoods, il possible. Soft woods like pine and spruce bum up quickly, throwing dangerous sparks and coating the chimney with tars and resins that could easily catch fire at some future time. * Don’t burn a large amount ol trash 'or Christmas wrapping paper in the fireplace. Roaring flames can ignite soot and resin; clinging to the inside of the chimney and a serious fire car result. * Avoid strewing greens or mantels or hanging stocking! from them. This is fleeting with fire. The use of electric lights or Christmas trees, tabl< arrangements, and eutdooi decorations is approved by the National Safety Council, if propei usage is practiced and precaution: taken with the relation tc materials used in decorating and overheating of lights and wires. The following suggestions ar« highly recommended: * All tree and other decorative electric lights should be cut ofl (out) when you leave home. * Do not leave lights on foi more than a few hours at a time to avoid overheating. * Check electric light sets before using. Be sure there is nc damage or frayed wire. Purchase only lights with underwriter: guarantee; others may be dangerous. * Whenever possible, use fireproof decorations and othei material. * Use only outside extensior cords and lights for outdooi decorations.

White Collar Jobs Gain In Rappahannock ~ To what e> tent has the employ n1 ent picture in Rappahannock County changed in recent years? How much job shifting has there been, due to automation? What proportion of working people in the local area are now in white color occupations and what proportion in blue collar? National surveys by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, combined with data from the Department of Commerce, shed some light on the subject. JQSSCStStSSSCJ (fates t 5* Vet Faitfc Is More Enduring H. O.

Mrs. Lucia Kilby, Librarian, fills orders as the children file by. It is obvious that the small customers were enthusiastic about their purchases. They indicate that locally, as in most other areas, there have been many adjustments in the employment situation since 1960. Of the 1,778 men and women who were employed locally at that time, 330 were in white collar jobs, the figures show. The rest were in blue collar or service occupations or were employed on farms. Most noticeable, in Rappahannock County, has been the substantial increase since then in the proportion of white collar jobs. The rise, in the 10-year period, is estimated at 16.7 percent. This was in line with the growing demand for clerical, management, professional, technical and sales personnel. These white collar occupations have created opportunities for a large majority of the newcomers in the local labor force. Classified as blue collar in the government’s reports are machinists, craftsmen, construction workers, factory operatives, transportation workers and the like. In Rappahannock County, due to the adjustments that have taken place, it is estimated that white collar workers now constitute approximately 22 percent of the local labor force. The finding is that the pay scale of the average unionized blue collar worker has been rising much faster lately than that of the white collar worker. As a result, the big difference in spending potential and living standards that once distinguished the two has become less evident. Blue collar workers, however, are more susceptible to layoffs than white collar. Christmas Wonderland t G>lftS h Ml of Gifts THE WHITE SHOP Open Every Night Including Saturday To 9 P.M.

RCHS Principal Visits West Point Rappahannock County High School Principal, Dennis Wingfield has returned from a recent visit to the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York. While there from 8 - 11, Mr. Wingfield and other educators from Virginia were briefed on the academic program offered by the military academy and given a tour of the facilities there. Included were tours of the Library, Department of Law, Department of Tractics, Computer Center, Office of Physical Education and the Cadet Chapel. An explanation of the cadet honor code and cadet activities were also given. Mr. Wingfield was also invited to have lunch with the cadets and visit cadet living quarters to gain a more thorough insight of life at the academy. In addition to the very useful knowledge of the academic offerings Mr. Wingfield said he was most impressed by the “tremendous” discipline displayed by the cadets. Incentive Payments On Wool Sales Payments will be made beginning about the first of April 3n marketings of wool and mohair completed in 1970 and reported by January 31,1971. So reports H. S. Barksdale, Chairman af the Rappahannock County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation (ASC) Committee, who reminded producers that the 1970 marketing year under the wool and mohair program ends December 31. Wool payments are based on the difference between the incentive price (72 cents per pound of shorn wool marketed in 1970) and the average national price for marketings during the year. Wool and mohair sales made after December 31, 1970 will not be eligible for payment until early 1972. Incentive payments are made through ASCS county offices to all producers who file applications and present the necessary sales receipts and other records. Sales documents must show that all details of the sale were completed during the current marketing year-including passing title"*!# the buyer. Ttiere 'fnus! also be a record showing eithfer actual delivery or transfer of control of the wool or mohair to the buyer. The buyer’s total purchase price must be clearly stated, also. Proof of ownership for at least 30 days is an important requirement, the ASC Committee Chairman said. To be eligible for payments, producers must own for at least 30 days the livestock from which the wool or mohair was shorn and the unshorn lambs on which they apply for payment. Records must be presented which clearly establish compliance with the 30-day ownership requirement. Requests for 1970 marketing year payments under the National Wool Act may be filed .with the Rappahannock County ASCS Office, as soon as the sales documents are available, but should be filed not later than January 31, 1971, to insure early payment_ Life aboard a Navy aircraft carrier is much like living in a small city. Carriers have their own radio and television stations. 5-Year Tags for Virginia Considered Vern L. Hill, Commissioner of the Division of Motor Vehicles announced that by 1972, Virginia motorists could be using five-year license plates bearing three letters and three numbers instead of the traditional six numbers if the 1971 special session of the General Assembly acts on some legislation already in the drafting stage. The prospect is a call for some cost-saving changes. Hill announced that before the December 2 report of the Governor’s Management Study team he already had requested the drafting of proposed legislation to stagger the annual renewal dates for motor vehicle license plates on the monthly basis. Renewal By Sticker “The idea of five-year license plates, with renewal annually by sticker on a staggered basis, was one of the first things I had in mind when I came here last summer,” he explained. “We’ve been doing it in Oregon for years.” Hill is a former motor vehicle commissioner in Oregon. Hill said current plans at DMV also call for shifting to the use of three letters and three numbers, perhaps with one of the letters denoting the month in which a given set of license tags will expire. “The American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators recently made a study in which it advocated uniform licensing indentification numbers for the states,” he noted, “and at least a third of the states are now using the three-letter, three digit numbering system.” " By staggering the annual renewal dates for motor vehicle license tags on a monthly basis, rather than the present annual renewal period of March 15 to April 15, the governor’s study report says the state would realize a net annual savings of $301,700. «*» •&'. \ ) ’ arking Cut from Driving Tests After 36 years and the anger of countless drivers, the Division of Motor Vehicles has done away with the parking test as a prerequisite to obtaining a Virginia driver’s license. DMV Commissioner Vern L. Hill ordered the test-a matter of parking between two sticks laid on the pavement at each end of a marked parking space-discontinued December 1. “It has been determined,” Hill said, “that such a maneuver does not materially measure driving capabilities called for in modern-day traffic. The discontinuing of this maneuver will permit more emphasis in the on-street maneuvers, which always have been a standard part of the driver license examination.” He added, “The American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators had indicated that states will be placing less emphasis on the parking test. 24-HOUR WRECKER SERVICE Charles E.

Security Notes “As 1970 draws to a close, there are many important items concerning social security which should be brought to the attention of the residents of this area,” Mrs. Hazel F. Crumpton said today. “Some of the retired persons will be concerned with /ear end reports, employers need to be aware of a tax increase, and there are other items of interest too,” she said. “Those who drew social security checks in 1970 and earned over $1680 gross wages, or the same amount in net earnings from a business, must file an annual report of their earnings with social security. This report is lue by April 15, 1971 and is in addition to any report of income that persons must make to Internal Revenue Service by April 15th. Many persons receiving social security checks will receive a report form in the mail. This will be true if we are aware they are to exceed $1680,” she said. ‘Others who have not told us they will earn over $1680,” she said. “Others who have not told js they will earn over $1680 and io, should contact us for their annual report form. We’ll gladly tielp them complete their report,” Mrs. Crumpton added. “Farmers who have paid wages n excess of $150 in 1970 to one ar more employees must file their report of wages paid by January 31st with Internal Revenue Service. Wages of less than $150 paid to one employee need to be reported also if the employee worked in 20 or more days or taarts of 20 days on a time basis,” Mrs. Crumpton continued. “Employers of domestic help, who in October, November and December of 1970 paid cash wages of $50 or more for work service Addresses Ale Florence Gertrude Mahoney, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James R.

According to the care that was exercised with young girls of that sect, young woman or maiden was synonymous with virginity. How young? Tradition has it that Mary was thirteen when the Christ Child was born. “And she will call him Emmanuel, a name that means God is with us.” A lady asked me not long ago what I thought of the modern mother who tried to rush their daughters into a premature maturity. I told her that I didn’t approve of it, that when children reached the age of puberty they had certain biological urges, that nature provides, for the perpetuation of the species. If young children are allowed to date unchaperoned they may, and very often do, yield to these urges. The result is not a pleasant one for these young ones to face. And who is at fault? You guess. According to my scant knowledge of medical science a woman is better equipped physically, to become a mother when she is mature. I think the mother and the child will be happier when motherhood is planned. Psychiatrists maintain that even a very young baby can feel the resentment of a mother that resents it; that there is a physical and psychic rapport between the mother and child when she feeds it from her own. body. But, why did God choose a twelve-year-old girl to be the mother of His Son? Surely there must have been older girls who had retained their virginity, was r. THE SPORT SHOP 154 E.

Racer, who passed away December 18, 1968. Two years have passed, dear Dad, Silnce you closed your eyes to rest. There will never be another But you who was the best. You have gone to join your mate Who was waiting up above. He met you at the gate To clasp your hand in love. Home is empty without you, Dad, Our hearts are empty, too. But mother is glad to have you near To share her bliss with you. As roses fade and brown leaves fall, There’s a twist within our hearts; But when we go you’ll hear us call Then we'll never have to part. God was kind when he sent for you From His heavenly home above. He relieved weeks of suffering you went through, But He took the one we love. We live for you from day to day And dream of you by nfyfht. We know you’re happy, this we pray Your face is dear in the heavenly light. Your loving daughter, Louise In Memoriam In loving memory of my dear mother, Emily M. Racer, on her 73rd birthday, December 16, who departed life on February 13, 1968. God gave me a wonderful mother, One of the world’* very best And when her work on earth was done, God called her home to rest. But all we can do, dear one, I* go and tend your grave And leave bright tokens of love To the best mother God ever gave. I cannot hear her voice I cannot see her face, But in my heart forever No one will ever take her place.

U. S. Brokenburr, Pastor Hopewell Baptist Church Sperryville, Va — Rev. Ulysses S. Brokenburr Cannot usher into existence mankind’s anticipated happiness and togetherness, nor can laws and rules alone solve his problems inherited from one generation to another. Solomon took into his possession all that satisfied his passions--silver, gold, wine, women, song and dance. Then, after he had indulged in all of the vices his hands had wrought, he discovered that there was something within his being that was not satisfied; and after a sincere prayer, he came saying: “Man’s whole duty is to fear God and keep His commandments.’’ Laws and rules made by man alone did not build these United States up to what it is today-the number one country in every respect.

They laid the foundation for what is now loosely called The Establishment. That would be destroyed by tire or laws and rules alone. God’s people are not uneasy or frightened by a few of the devil’s people with dirty bodies and obscure expressions, who have never done an honest day’s work. God’s people have the assurance th*t tbfj establishment will endure beci}pse His Holy Word says “God blessed the land whose Lord is God.'” Let us examine a project that was completed in these times-The Now Age-through laws and rules without God’s direction. In Egypt today stands one of man’s greatest dams, located on the upper Nile River...the Aswan Dam. It was built to boost the Egyptian economy. The dammed lake proudly bears the name of a late ruler who threatened to drive God’s people into the sea. After ten years of service the dam is not looked upon as being very proud because of some perplexing problems. For one, sardine fishing in the Mediterranean dropped disastrously after the dam began holding back the Nile-18,000 tons of fish in 1965 to 50 tons in 1968. The dam robs the fish of its needed food. Sardine fishing is not the only problem directly attributable to Egypt’s big dam Another traditionally big problem for Egypt was aggravated by the creation of the lake, a disease ai old as the Pyramids that breeds ir the still waters of the lake and ir '#~t_*^roLsopr^Tn^EXJ^ Over 16 yean experience Ir Ceramic Tile & Quarry Slate New construction, remodeling or repairs.

World health organization officials fear that an additional 6,000,000 people will become victims of this intestinal parasitic disease which already affects forty per cent of Egypt’s population. God operates through nature; and when men leave God out of their rules and laws, nature’s ecological pattern has been broken; and as always when physical laws are broken, God sees to it, and man suffers the consequences. God directs us to His nature through His servant Job...12th Chapter-7th and 8th verses...who said: “But ask now the beast and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee; or speak to the earth [plants, trees, and creeping things], and it shall teach thee; and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.” So from God’s word you can understand why God’s nature in His little fifty pound beast-the beaver, directs and challenges mankind’s laws and rules alone in building the perfect dam. The beaver’s [dam stores up soil and at the tame time allows the water to flow continuously, feeding fish, deer and the fowl of the air. The beaver has no text books, no school, no degrees, of higher learning. The beaver’s dam is beneficial and long lasting. Where did the beaver get his intelligence to build with such perfection? One author put it this way: “Despite their automatic and apparently mechanistic activities and their lack of practical forethought, beavers appear to draw upon sources of information that are beyond our ken.” [Living Mammals of the World, by Ivan T. Sanderson, Doubleday and Company, New York, 1965, p. 1181. Mankind through his inherited disobedience leans toward doing his thing out of his bag.
