Injuries Minor In Series Of Traffic Crashes Here A series of traffic crashes has occurred in the past week with injuries on the minor side but property damage high. On January 7 at 5:45 p.m. on Route 211 a mile east of Amissville, two cars collided. Manuel Pullen of Amissville, operating a 66 Ford pickup, pulled onto the highway from his lane and was sideswiped by Margaret Ann Lillard of Castleton in a 67 Chevrolet. Mrs. Lillard sustained a bruised left leg. She was treated at Fauquier Hospital, Warrenton and released. Damage was estimated at $500 to the pickup and at $800 to the auto, and Mr. Pullen was charged with failing to yield the right of way by Trooper W. A. Buntin, who investigated the collision. A single vehicle crash occurred January 9 on Route 620, two and a half miles east of Sperryville at 8:10 p.m. George Patterson of Reva, operating a 1970 Opel, lost control of the vehicle on a curve, hit a snowbank on the left of the road and overturned. Hej sustained a lacerated left kneej and contusions of the head and was charged with failing to maintain control of his vehicle. The following night, Saturday, at 7:30 p.m. a car struck a farm tractor and w 231, seven miles south of Sperryville. Charles Lewis Gallihugh of Sperryville, operating a Ferguson tractor belonging to Mrs. C. R. Hite, was struck from behind by an approaching vehicle. The tractor, operating at night without lights, was hit bjnp68 Chevrolet owned *nd operated by Charles Elwood Taylor of .Silver Spring, Md. No injuries resulted and damage was set at $300 to the auto. Gallihugh was charged with improper use of a farm vehicle. * Early in the morning of January 10, at 2:45 a.m. to be exact, a half mile south of Sperryville on Route 522, a 63 Ford convertible with six occupants overturned, coming to rest on its top and all escaped injury except for a scratch. John Wesley Martin of Winchester was driver of the | vehicle traveling in a line of traffic which came up behind a parked vehicle changing a tire. In an attempt to stop, the Martin vehicle skidded, crashed into the bank and turned over. He was charged with following too closely. Later the same day, at 7:45 p.m. on Route 211 in Sperryville, a pickup hurtled over the river bank and came to rest in the middle of Thornton River heading in the reverse direction from which it came. The 67-68 Dodge truck was operated by Donald Ray Keyser of Flint Hill and was heading east. He lost control of the vehicle, struck a utility pole, splintered two fruit display racks and struck the corner of a cinderblock building at Alson Atkins’ Fruit Stand before careening into the river. Keyser sustained a laceration of the face which required seven stitches. His wife, Sue Keyser, an occupant in the truck, received a possible fractured left wrist and little finger. Joseph Pullen of Sperryville, also a passenger, suffered a broken left wrist. All were treated at Culpeper Memorial Hospital and released. Keyser was charged with reckless driving, by Trooper W. A. Buntin, who investigated this and all of the foregoing traffic crashes. Record Bear Kill; Deer Count Down Irvin L. Kenyon, Game Warden Rappahannock County’s deer season ended last Tuesday with a total season kill of 205. Nine bear were taken during the season for that specie which ended December 31. That established a new high for Rappahannock County. The 205 deer killed included one buck taken during the archery season making a total of 153 bucks and 52 does. Eighty deer were taken on the last day." The last day’s kill in additioin to; the 52 females was made up mostly of button bucks. Compared to last year’s deer kill, the season just past showed a drop, from 338 to 205, however, any take of over 200 in Rappahannock County can be considered good. This is only the third year that Rapp’k has recorded a kill in excess of 200 deer. Dp to the last day of the season this year total of deer checked was 125, not a great number less than the 151 taken during the same period last year. The greatest difference this year is compared to last was the last day kill. That kill last year was 187 deer on the last day to 80 this year. The breakdown of this year’s kill compared to that of a year ago by checking station looks like this : Chester Gap; last year, no check station, this year 10: Flint Hill; last year 49, this year 42: Amissville, last year 5, this year 9: Washington; last year 74, this year 47: Sperryville; last year checked 184, this year 90. There is a difference in the kill of about 100 for the last day alone and that same 100, give or take a few, shows up in the Sperryville area. While it is of interest to compare this year’s kill with that of the season before, ’69-70, we must remember that the ’69-’70 season was hardly an average year. In fact, that figure of 338 exceeded by about three times what could be considered an average deer kill in Rappahannock County. Though the big racks this year did not seem as plentiful as past years, the deer appeared to be in good condition. Game which is still in season includes rabbit, squirrel and grouse until January 31 and quail until February 15th. Circuit Court Convened Monday Rappahannock County Circuii Court convened Monday, January 11 with a grand jury composed ol Mrs. Mary Cleverly; Clarence Dearing, Gibson Wharton, Gilberi Cosden and C. J. Miller, jr. The grand jury returned a true bill on two counts of manslaughtei against Randolph Willoughby Starks and a true bill on one counl of manslaughter against Robert Nelson Jenkins. Starks charges were the outcome of a traffic crash in which two youth were fatally injured. Jenkins was charged with the fatally shooting of John Robert 'Jenkins or November 12. The case of Harry Hart and Walter Groves,, both charged with murder, were continued until the March court term which begins on the 8th. Educational Progs Subject for PTA The Rappahannock County Elementary School P.T.A. announces its first meeting of the year to be held in that school auditorium at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, January 20.

This meeting should be of special interest to all parents, who have had children attending the summer pre-school session in the past and particularly, to all those parents, who will have children attending it in the future and who wish to know more about the program. However, the meeting is open to the public■ A group of young and even some older skaters seemed to enjoy the themselves Sunday afternoon on Johnson’s pond in Sperryvilk.

C. 1 Miller Retires From 39 Years of Banking C. J. Miller, Jr. of Washington, Va. has retired after serving 39] years with Rappahannock! National Bank. He remains, however, as the president of the organization. Mr. Miller was employed with the bank for 23 years; was away for seven years and returned to the bank to work an additional 16 years. During his seven year absence, he was in the insurance and livestock business. Mr. Millor was honored with a retirement dinner Saturday night, given by the Board of Directors of the Bank and held at Hampton Inn. About 45 people were in attendance to offer best wishes for a happy retirement. He was presented a gold headed cane by the directors and a weather vane by his fellow employees. There was also a subscription to Playboy Magazine (I’m not sure from whom). George Beard of the Second National Bank of Culpeper was toastmaster for the dinner and called on H. L. Payne, the new cashier of Rappahannock National, for a report of financial progress over the past ten years. Other special guests included Stewart Payne of the Bank of Warren, Front Royal, John S. Browning of Farmers and Merchants at Flint Hill, Ralph Deacon, president of Culpeper National and L. R. Hudson, a retired director of Culpeper National. Mr. Miller is a native of Rappahannock and was born and reared at The Maples in Washington, presently the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. N. Miller.

He is a member of Trinity Episcopal Church, Washington, and has served as Senior and Junior Warden. Mr. Miller married Miss Acsah Dudley, also a native Rappahannockian and they have two daughters, Mrs. John Wood of Atlanta, Ga. and Mrs. Stephen Vaughan of New York. Rappahannock Supervisors Accept Resignation of Extension Home Agent All members of the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors were present for the January meeting held Thursday, and they accepted, with regret, the resignation of Miss Judy Burtner, Extension Agent, Home Economics who plans on returning to school to secure her masters degree; Her resignation is effective the first of February. The Clerk was asked to check into the inclusion of the Dog Warden as a full time employee concerning retirement, etc. The Board requested the Clerk to check requirements for including the Dog Warden in the retirement program. Mrs. Roberta Spalding of Flint; Hill, Commissioner of Revenue for Rappahannock County! announced to the Board that she| did not plan to seek re-election to j that office. She was making the | announcement now, for anyone j seeking to become a candidate; must declare their candidacy by | March. Mrs. Patricia Creel of Boston was present to request the; removal of the trash container from the highway at Scrabble. Action was taken to have it; placed on the school grounds at Scrabble. James K. Skeens, Highway i Resident Engineer, requested action be taken to discontinue} maintenance of three small section of secondary roads which; have not been used in years. \ Approval is expected at the next; meeting. It was suggested by Supervisor! Foster, that additional help should be hired to assist with snow removal at Chester Gap. A breakdown in equipment had caused deiay in snow removal in that section following the last snow. School Superintendent 0. A. Norton was present to discuss school changes which will be necessary when the revised state constitution goes into effect. Since Rappahannock and Warden counties are a combined school division working with one superintendent for both, this would become permanent unless a request is made to be two separate systems before the new legislation is effective. J. Maurice O’Bannon and Mrs. Fred Schaefer of Sperryville asked that the Board pass an ordinance for pollution control in all waters of Rappahannock. This, the Board said has already been done by the state, but when it is indicated that Sperryville area residents want legislation to enforce sewerage control in Sperryville, it will be done. Mrs. j Schaefer reported that two j federal grants had been applied for and one had been approved for a sewerage treatment facility in Sperryville. The Board formally requested the State Corporation Commission to hold a^ public hearing on the proposeoLhigh transmission power line wtiph is slated to cross Rappahannock County. It was agreed by the Board that Rappahannock pay $4,293.00 as ts part on the site and site separation of the Lord Fairfax Community College located at Middletown. The Clerk was authorized to seek a janitor for the county buildings and current accounts were approved for payment. Attendance Good Ini Adult Ed. Classes Featured For The Third Year The Adult Education classes in Rappahannock County got underway on Thursday evening at the local high school with 61 attending and participating in one of seven courses offered. A few vacancies remain in chair caning, typing, carving and small engines classes and those interested may enter tonight, Thursday. Candidates registered for enrollment numbered 74 prior to the beginning of the classes Thursday and every section of the county was represented including the areas of Amissville, Boston, Chester Gap, Flint Hill, Huntly, Sperryville, Washington, Woodville and Viewtown with some also from Jeffersonton in neighboring Culpeper and from Rapidan. This is the third year the Adult Education program has been conducted here, and was undertaken by a local group without grants from the government. However, the great success of the school has come about through the cooperation and the aid of the local School Board, the Extension Service, local teaching staff and the very active committee which heads the program. Growth can be traced through the three years in which the school program has existed. The first year four courses were offered to 40 who enrolled. The second year found six courses and 60 participants and this year the enrollment pre-registered was 74 with seven courses offered. An additional service rendered this year is a baby sitting arrangement so both parents of a family may participate. This has also proved successful. If you are interested in joining the group, there is still time. Arrange to be » at Rappahannock County High School tonight, Thursday, January 14 at 7:30 p.m. to enroll.

RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At Washington, Rappahannock County, Va. Telephone: WASHINGTON 675-3349 MRS. SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Entered as 2nd Class Mail at the P. O. at Washington, Va.* Subscriptions (in advance) $3.00 in Rappahannock and adjacent counties; $3.SO East coast; $4.00 mid-west; $4.50 West. LETTERS to EDITOR Madam Editor: While we are waiting for action by the State Corporation Commission on the initial legal action to defend our Rappahannock County environment from destruction by Potomac Edison’s proposed transmission line, the electric company has apparently been very busy. Potomac Edison’s representatives have planted false information leading to false rumors and are using the divide and conquer approach to acquire the right-of-way for ftheir unnecessary transmission line. Its surveyors have trespasser on private property and ftt#n said that they had made a mistake. Threats that we will all be using kerosene lamps unless they get their power line have been heard several times. Promises are being made that have no chance of bemg honored. It’s time to state tHe facts and expose the devisive tactics of the Potomac Edison Power Company. tact 1: The proposed 138-thousand volt line is for pure transmission allowing for no consumer distribution of electricity to the people of Rappahannock County. The line would merely connect Riverton in Warren County to Boston in Culpeper County. We could not plug into it anywhere. Fact 2: It has not been proven that the proposed transmission line is at all necessary to assure enough electricity in Rappahannock County. Our area is presently served by a less offensive line perfectly adequate to keep up with any expected' growth or demand. Fact 3: Potomac Edison would not dare to deliberately cut off or reduce electricity to the County nor any individual user as a pressure tactic. Despite the ^methods being used to push the xrTiTs miss ion' Tine across Rappahannock, it is a public utility required by law to serve the public. You can put those kerosene lamps back in the attic. Fact 4: Many Rappahannock residents can forget ever watching television in their homes again if this line goes through. People who live near or to the west of the proposed line will find the television stations in Washington, D. C. so effectively blocked that no special antenna or amplifiers could bring in a decent picture. Radio reception would also be affected near the line. Fact Eji 'Huge, ugly steel towers will be used along the entire vertical length of Rappahannock County even though at first the w ires' might be hung from wooden pales. A power transmission line is a permanent thing and steel is far more permanent than wood. Fact 6: Once a right-of-way is given up, the property owner no longer has anything to say about what the power company can or cannot do with it. Promises do not mean anything if it wanted to build bigger towers, run a second or third row of towers, spray herbicides or even condemn adjacent land to increase right-of-way width. Fact 7: Potomac Edison has started pressuring landowners one at a time to sell out now and to stop trying to defend their property. There is no possible personal benefit to be gained by giving in to professional salesmen. They claim that there is no use objecting because we are going to build the line anyway. That is a completely worthless threat in view of the coordinated effort being made to assure that it is not built. tact o: Every piece of property in Rappahannock will suffer a loss in value if this power line is built. Property underneath the line would decrease as much as 80%. Property bordering on the line will decrease with no chance of compensation. If home and land isn’t worth anything to us personally, we should think about those who will own it after us. Fact 9: This power line would forever destroy the one main asset of Rappahannock County, scenic beauty. How much is pride in our natural environment worth? Potomac Edison does not have the resources nor will to equal it. Fact 10: There is an excellent chance that Potomac Edison will either drop its effort to build this transmission line or that it will be legally denied the right to build it.. Acors^, America people^anp now fighting ^a winn«fjp1>attle; against those who wouliT further desecrate environmental a&ets for corporate profits. The Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection plus many individuals are committed to winning tlSis battle now, for all of us, so th^t future generations will have the opportunity to enjoy the unspoiled nature beauty of Rappahannock County.

Students are suffering this week from term papers, projects, book reports and upcoming exams. With the help of Mrs. Moffett, although, our work load seems much lighter. She has been busy getting books, papers, and articles for us. Girls are now allowed to wear slacks to school. There has been much discussion on this subject for some time. The Dress Review Board, an organization made up of students and teachers who discuss the dress of the boys and girls at R.C.H.S. It was finally decided that the students could have this privilege. ' Our'eighth grade boys win have a basketball game this Tuesday with the Strasburg eighth graders, The game will be held here at RCHS.

They lost the game by only one point. Both the J.V. and ‘the Varsity played well. Let’s give our team some real support in the upcoming games Rapp-Chats By Rap Owings, Ext. Agent (Grass tetany was diagnosed in two beef cows in Rappahannock last week. As far as we can determine this was the first known case in the county. The following article was written several years ago by John Gerken, Ex-Clarke County Agent. By virture of both his field and laboratory experience with grass tetany, John is probably the most practically, knowledgable man in the state on the subject.) Preventing Grass Tetany - “Late winter and early spring is the season when grass tetany usually occurs in beef cow herds. Because it often affects cows that are still on winter rations and before any grazing is present, it might be called “winter” tetany when it occurs under these conditions. The onset of the disturbance is rapid and losses are high so that prevention is most important. Grass tetany usually strikes cows ip the first month or two after calving. Older cows seem to be more susceptible than first-calf heifers. A lower than normal supply of magnesium in the cow’s blood seems to result in tetany in susceptible cows. Low levels of magnesium in winter feed and early pasture grass plus a relative high requirement for milk production for the calf seem to be- the > factersr most responsible for bringing on tetany. Losses can be high at times. In one herd in Clarke Coounty several years ago twelve cases' occurred in a herd of eighty cows. About half of the twelve died; the others responded to prompt veterinary treatment. Prevention of tetany through the feeding of supplemental sources of magnesium has been effective. One of the best methods is provided by feeding magnesium oxide mixed with h salt during the critical period. The magnesium oxide should be mixed with salt in a 1: 1 ration and the mixture self-fed as the only source of salt. The supplement can also be mixed with grain and fed at the rate of 'A ounce of magnesium oxide per day as an alternate method. Commercial sources of feed-grade magnesium oxide are available that can provide the necessary material at a cost of five cents to ten cents per cow per month. Supplementation should begin when calving starts and should be continued until about June 1.” BEING ROBBED ON YOUR INCOME TAX % it you prepare your owr # tax return, chances are \ you've been robbing your/ self of perfectly good de\ ductions that may reduce i your taxes.

One Forest Fire Reported in Rapp’k The Division of Forestry reports that 227 forest fires burned 977 acres of forestland in the 16-county Northern Piedmont District during 1970. In Rappahannock County, only one fire occurred burning 3 acres of open land. During 1969 there syas a total of 367.fires, tmd tyese fires burned 1077 forested -acres in the Northern Piedmont area. " During most of 1970 the fire danger was moderate, but severe conditions developed during late March and April. During these months, forest wardens and volunteer fire departments were able to keep the average size of the fire relatively small, even though fires were numerous. A deficiency of rainfall was noted throughout the first half of the year. The cause of several district fires was due to brush and debris burning. Other major causes were smoking, dumps, hot ashes, hunters, electric fences, etc., and children playing with matches accounted for a large number of fires. Railroads were responsible for about 15 percent, as burning carbon, hot metal from brakes, and burning fuses cause fires on the railroad rights-of-way which often burn into the forests. Smokey Says: SHARE I'll THAT CARE WITH l' II 6nwfcl/&W/ Mrs. Frances Lawrence, Amissville, is modeling her gray and white patterned wool coat she constructed as one of eleven students in a Tailoring Class sponsored by the Extension Service. The cost of the coat was under $40.00. Miss Judy Burtner, Extension Agent, served as instructor. Wool Support Prices The U. S. , Department of Agriculture today announced an incentive price of 72 cents a pound for 1971 marketings of shorn wool and a support price of 80.2 cents a pound for mohair. Both figures are unchanged from the 1970 levels. An extension of the authority for the wool and mohair price-support program through Dec. 31, 1973 is contained in the Agricultural Act of 1970. The new legislation amends the National Wool Act by requiring that support prices shall be at the above levels for each of the three marketing years through the end of 1973. Pulled wool will continue to be supported at a level comparable to the incentive price for shorn wool through payments on unshorn lambs. Shorn wool payments will be based on each producer’s returns from sales. The percentage will be that required to raise the national average price received by all producers from shorn wool up to the announced incentive price oi 72 cents a pound.^For example, payments on 1969 marketings, which began in April, were made at the rate of 65.1 percent of the dollar return each produce) received from the sale of shorr wool. This percentage was based on the differences between the incentive price of 69 cents and the national average grower price of.41 Jjheents a pound. Mohair payments will be calculated in a manner similar to wool. Payments to producers on the 1971 calendar year marketings will he made, h^jpnpipg, April 1972. Applications for such payments must be filed not lafer than Jan. 31, 1972. R. B. G. BUSINESS SERVICE Income Tax Preparation Farm and small business returns a specialty. 17 years experience.

Gibb We just completed the first week of the Special Session of the General Assembly. Governor Holton addressed a joint meeting of the Senate and House of Delegates on the opening day. He stated that it does not appear that anticipated revenues will be sufficient to grant further aid to localities. He stated that the cost of operations of many governmental agencies would be greater during the fiscal year 1971-72 than had been estimated when the budget was adopted in 1970. The cost of the Welfare Program alone, he stated, would exceed the estimate by Twenty million dollars. According to his report, there will be a budget deficit for the Bi-ennium of approximately Sixteen million dollars. One of the tasks confronting the legislature will be re-districting the Senate, House of Delegates and Congressional Districts. The Privileges and Elections Committee of the House of Delegates has recommended that the 24th and 28th Districts be combined, with Rappahannock County being transferred to the 44th District. The new District would consist of the Counties of Clark, Fauquier, Frederick and Warren and the City of Winchester, with two Delegates being elected from the Mrs. Vetter Given Performance Award Mrs. Marjorie E.

Mobility of Local Population Just how often are residents of . Rappahannock County likely to pick up and move to another address? How many of them have been living in the same house for more than five years? According to the latest figures on the mobility or Jie population, from governmental and otSsc. sources, nearly one person oat of every five in the United States is living in a different house than he occupied five years ago. As for local families, they are less likely to pull up stakes and move than are people in most parts of the country. Data gathered over the years by the Department of Commerce shows that the proportion of movers in any given area remains quite steady, year after year. The most recent figures covering Rappahannock County show that some 1,656 local residents changed their addresses at least once in a period of five years. Included in this total were 1,051 who merely moved to other locations within the county and 605 . who came from outside the county to make their homes in the local area. Some, on the other hand, moved to other sections of the country, i How many is not known, pending i the 1970 census data on mobility, > expected to be released toward the i end of 1971. r What the figures show, in - essence, is that 34 out of every 10C » people in Rappahannock County, v over the age of five, were living in s different houses than they had f occupied five years before. f The 34 percent of movers was >o*o»o»o*o*o*e»o^«o*o«o*o*o»o>a 0 0 EARLY'S CARPET SALES & SERVICE ©♦o*o*o«o*o*o»o»o*o*o*« LARGE DISPLAY OF NATIONALLY KNOWN BRANDS IMPORTED ORIENTALS ALSO REMNANTS Feoturinq ALEXANDER SMITH PATCRAFT MOHAWK BARWICK MASLAND S RESIDENTIAL COMMERCIAL ® BUDGET TERMS 0 e VISIT OUR SHOWROOM c C OR CALL FOR t 0 SHOP AT HOME SERVICE ® EXPERT RUG CLEANING fl CUSTOM DRAPERIES - SLIPCOVERS (MADE LOCALLY) USTOM & STOCK WINDOW SHADES INOLEUMS VINYLS & TILE WALL-TO-WALL CARPET INSTALLATIONS s Call 9374404 (**•21Am^nie, va. c Of 825-8232 128 S.

The comparable figures in the South Atlantic States was 50 percent ancL in the State of Virginia, 49 percent. A number of situations and circumstances are cited to account for the restlessness showm by so many people. More than two-thirds of those who move do so because of housing or because of some other "necessity or choice involving living arrangements, according tc Census Bureau findings. Other reasons given for moving IU iUUJS. were 10 ia*e a juu ui for work” or because of a “job transfer.” Often, also, a change in marital status dictates the move.

Virginia Sees Drop In Traffic Deaths Richmond, Va.-An encouraging drop in Virginia traffic deaths from 1,304 in 1969 to 1,226 in 1970, despite an increase of some five percent in traffic volumes, was reported today by Colonel H. W. Burgess, Superintendent of State Police. Colonel Burgess attributed the improvement to a growing spirit of public awareness and cooperation and to increased official activity on both the state and national levels. “Another factor,” he said “could be the shock of the heavy increase occasioned in 1969 when deaths rose from 1,218 in 1968 to 1,304 in 1969.” He tentatively placed (die rate of deaths per each 100 million miles of travel at 4.4 to compare well with the national one of 4.9. Virginia’s 1969 rate was 4.8 and the national 5.3 Pedestrian deaths were even at 241. Crashes killing more than one person each were down from 123 killing a total of 300 to 121 killing 283. Non-collision crashes, involving contact with no other vehicle or a pedestrian, dropped from 500 killing 582 to 438 killing 504. This decrease, Colonel Burgess noted, is a good sign since such crashes usually spring from excessive speed, drowsiness or drinking. Urban deaths rose from 292 to 319 but rural ones were down from 1,009 to 907. Deaths of servicemen jumped sharply from 55 to 80. A string of reductions in motorcycle deaths was broken when they rose from 16 to 29. Virginia saw 1,050 deaths in 1964, 1,062 in 1965, 1,106 in 1966, 1,223 in 1967, and 1,218 in 1968. Although there was a slight SMOKEY’S FRIENDS DON’T PLAY WITH MATCHES Advertising created for the public ROod reduction in 1968, Colonel Burgess noted that the last significant one was in 1960 when deaths were down to 756 from 850 of 1959. All statistics, he explained, are subject to slight upward revisions due to deaths of persons now carried as injured and late reports. Today’s Woman Judy Burtner Extension Agent, Home Economics Making A Decision Have you ever thought about the process you go through when you make a decision? This process is an organized way of thinking. Sometimes a person does it unconsciously; for example dressing to go outdoors in cold weather. He doesn’t think about each step; he just does it. Other times it takes lots of time and thought to come to the proper decision. Whenever a person makes any kind of a decision, there are two basic types of information on hand. The first one is facts. A fact is something we know is true. A fact is proven. We have experimental data and information that will support this fact. For example, when twc parts hydrogen and 1 part oxygen are mixed, the mixture results in water. It doesn’t matter who does this or how many times it is performed, the results is the same. This is one type ol information that will influence a decision. Another type of information is “what we think are facts.” These are notions that have beer handed down to us by somone else. We have no information thal will prove these notions but we have accepted them because we ' T ' * ‘ " ' ~ ' ' Personal News from Amissville S. N.

Another thing that will influence a decision is our personal likes and dislikes. Also, our values and goals and what we hold to be important in life is important in our decision making process. The first step in any decision making process is to define the problem. It has been said that a problem well defined is half solved. What is the problem? The next step is to appraise the resources. What is available to help solve the problem? It can be people, money, or materials. After the resources have been considered, you need to explore the alternatives and evaluate each one separately in line with your goals and values. After the alternatives have been evaluated, the next step is the hardest: that of making the decision. When you make a decision, you have to be wise like the old owl and see how it will effect your goal. Then you must be prepared to accept the responsibility and the economic consequences that follow this decison. After this has been done, the next step is to formulate a plan of action. Then carry it out.

Security Notes In this era of credit cards, bank accounts, zip codes, and area codes, practically every American is playing the numbers game. Every time you open a charge* account at a store or start a savings account at a bank you get another number. Every time you move, it means a new address and telephone listing to remember. It can get pretty confusing at times. But there is one number that will never change as long as you live, no matter how often you move or change jobs. That’s your social security number. More than 186 million Americans have a social security number, and each one is different. Each year, an additional 6 million people get numbers. That’s a lot of numbers, but even with the population explosion, there is no danger of social security running short. The system permits the use of just under a billion different numbers of nine digits each. Several more generations will be able to get social security numbers before it will become necessary to reissue old ones or change the 9-digit system^ Ever wonder why we use a number instead of a person’s name? The answer is simple. So many people have the same names that it would be impossible to keep them all straight. If you think your local telephone directory has a lot of Smiths listed, you should see the social security rolls! At latest count, there were 2 million people whose last name was Smith. The second most common name on our records is Johnson, with 1.5 million listed. And the third most common is Williams, with |.3 million on the rolls. But while many people have the same name, each has his own social security number. And there’s another problem.

Phone 635-2101 Front Royal. Va.i J T Sermon at Hopewell The text and subject of the sermon delivered by the Rev. U. S. Brokenburr at the Hopewell Baptist Church, Sperryville on Sunday, January 10, 1971 from Micah 6:& was “An Humble Beginning.” Rev. Brokenburr stated that at the beginning of each New Year people make many resolutions that are not kept, or even thought of until the next year. Most resolutions pertain to ourselves or our families instead of being of interest to others. So often we fail to make those resolutions that should be of utmost importance to us, and they are the ones which come from within. If more resolutions were made by our Christian church workers and others concerning the help of our fellowmen, I feel certain that they would not be broken so easily. So, for those who really want to feel that they have made a resolution, make one big one (and stick to it) that will come from within yourself and then you can truly say, “I have" started an humble beginning for the year of 1971.” Written by: Ruth Williams^ Names change. But, even if you change your name, you will still keep the same social security number. When a woman gets married, for instance, she should report her new name to any social security office. She will get a new card showing her new name, but the same number she had under her maiden. You’re never too young or too old to get a social security card. Social security numbers are issued to infants and centenarians. Some other Federal agencies also use the number. When you file your income tax return, for example, the Internal Revenue Service requires you to show your social security number for purposes of its Income Taxpayer Identification system. And the U. S. Armed Forces recently decided to do away with their system of serial numbers and to use the social security number as a means of identification 0 Those nine little digits on your card are yours alone, and they are your key to future benefits for yourself and your family. If you’ve never had a number, want to change your name on social security ;ecor<Js, or file a claim for benefits, contact the local office at 20 S. Cameron St., Winchester. Social News John Aylor who has been a patient at the University of Virginia Hospital for some time has been discharged and is now staying at the home of his nephew, Louis Aylor in Falls Church. „ The Senior Choir members of the Hopewell Baptist Church gave Mrs. Roberta Russell of Sperryville a surprise birthday; party on January 9.

TIME: “Time passes by, stomping hob-nailed boots.” “Time tiptoes into eternity.” ““Time stands still, we move on.” Does time exist with God, or is it a man made condition? Whatever time is, it makes us grow old, we develop physical infirmities, our hearts wear out. “The sword outwears its sheath.” We used to hear of people dying of a broken heart; can that be. ‘No, hearts do not break when their love goes wrongHearts are tough-fibered, durable, strong. But they twist and bend under lash of painAnd some never work quite as well again.’ Time also robs us of friends and loved ones. May I share these lines by a poet, Kayko. It’s title is IN MEMORIAM: “He said he’d mind it less, to die with no roof between him and sky. Then it took him, quick and clean, and all the sky looked on, serene. I wonder if he had time to answer the unmoved sublime. Or if an angel came to him before the last contour grew dim, Or if the heavens, blue and cloud, fell upon him like a shroud,” “Time heals all wounds.” Does it, really? I like to think thjtt it does, that it, time, is^jjmt of God’s divine plan. Do you feel the same resentment today you felt yesterday, that pain or hurt you suffered a few days ago, do you feel it now? Let us be thankful for time. ‘Live and learn, die and forget it all?’. Well, not quite. “Not in entire forgetfulness do we come From God, who is our home.” Boston Personals Mrs. Alice Dorsey Mrs. Brew Burke, Miss Peggy Burke, Mrs. Tom Thornhill and her daughter Luellpn were Sunday guests of Mr. and Mrs. Ronnie Burke and daughter Lynn of Annandale.
