c Ruritans To Hear Navy Officer Lt. Cdr. Oren D. Bruton, USNR, who resides in Bowie, Md. will be the speaker at the Feb. 17th meeting of the Amissville Ruritan Club. His subject on patriotism will center on pertinent issues relative to P.O.W.’s held captive in Southeast Asia and the plans for their repatriation in the event of their release. Cdr. Bruton received his commission from the U.S.M.C. in 1954, upon graduation from the University of North Carolina, and served on active duty with the 1st Marine Air Wing in Korea until December, 1958. He is a member of the Reserve Officers Association and assigned to the Naval Intelligence Division, Washington, D. C., having transferred to the Navy in 1967. Cdr. Bruton recently completed an intensive two weeks training course at FAETU PAC U. S. Naval Air Station, North Island, San Diego, Calif, on “Intelligence Debriefing for POWs.” The Brutons own a small farm in Rappahannock County where they are frequent visitors. Cdr. B^fton comes to the Ruritan C?Jb at the special invitation of the Club’s Citizenship and Patriotism Committee. February Meeting Set For Arts Group The Rappahannock Arts and Crafts Group has scheduled a meeting for Tuesday, February 9 at 10 a.m. at Cab Inn in Sperryville. Mrs. Ruth Pillar is in charge of the program which will feature “Lamps-Wiring and Repair.” J Those attending are advised to bring your lamp which needs to be wired or repaired. Necessary parts can be ordered including those for converting old oil lamps into electric ones. Unless otherwise stated, the group will meet in Sperryville on the second Tuesday of each month and at the Terhune residence near Amissville on the fourth Tuesdays. Irwin,Testifies At Governor’s Council Phil Irwin, President of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection, testified before the Governor’s Council on environment at the Northern Virginia Community College in Annandale last Monday evening. He urged that Governor Holton review the utility and facility act and operation of the State Corporation Commission as a vital step toward preservation of Virginia’s environment. The effort by RLEP and individual citizens and land owners in Rappahannock to stop the highvoltage transmission line proposed by Potomac Edison was explained to the council. Mr. Irwin also stated that the people of Virginia are still being denied their right to due process of law as guaranteed by the U. S. Constitution and the Code of Virginia since a power company, such as Potomac Edison, gets rubberstamp approval to destroy natural beauty without proving public necessity to all the people it would harm. In Mr. Irwin’s concluding statement, he said, “If the Governor’s Council on environment is to be at all effective in preserving our environment, it will look first to legislative and executive action to prevent new destruction before efforts are made to clean up the old.” “Count Down” Prog. Feature at PTA The Rappahannock Elementary School P.T.A. will meet Wednesday, February 10 at 7 p.m. at the School. This will be the second ParentTeachers Conference. Preceding the conference period a program will be presented by Mr. Douglas McIntyre of Culpeper, area representative for the Home Health Education Service. His subject will be “Smoking” and a graphic film entitled “Count Down” will be shown as well as a demonstration using the dummy “Smoking Sam.” The above Group, with Mr. McIntyre has been successful in presenting the 5 day “Stop Smoking” program, in nearby areas. The public is invited , I Redistricting Is Primary Topic at General Assembly Delegate Duncan C. Gibb The primary topic of conversation and concern of the members of the House of Delegates as well as the State Senators continues to be the problem of redistricting the state. The House held a public hearing which several hundred people attended to express their feelings on this .most important matter. The Constitution requires that the state be redistricted every ten years and this means that the districts as established during this Special Session will continue in effect for the remainder of this decade. No one is able to predict when the House of Delegates and the Senate will complete this redistricting. When they have completed their own plans then it will be necessary to rearrange the congressional districts to comply with the “one man-one vote” rule established by the Supreme Court of the United States. A bill of general interest which has been introduced is one granting more authority to the State Air Polution Control Board. The purpose of this bill is to grant the Board power to issue special orders directing owners who are causing air pollution to cease and desist from such pollution. The bill provides for hearings before these orders are issued and also provides that owners shall have tip right to appeal any standard, policy or regulation established by the Board. Another bill of general interest would authorize an additional sum of $896,000 to be appropriated to the Department of State Police so that Department can expand its activities in the enforcement of all laws relating to narcotics and drug abuse. This appropriation will come from surplus and has been approved by the Governor. All committees are now meeting regularly and this| continues to be an interesting experience. Receives Award Jerry Brown of Sperryville was presented a plaque, honoring him as First Route Salesman of the Year by' Norman B. Martin, President of Rental Uniform Co. in Culpeper. The award was given at a banquet held in Culpeper on Friday, January 22. Statewide Deer Kill Nears Record Mark Virginia’s statewide deer kill of 38,134 animals is already close to, and with the addition of late tags may even surpass the all-time record of 38,391 taken in 1963, reports R. H. Cross, Chief of the Game Commission’s Game Division. More significant perhaps than the near record total was the fact that it was accomplished with restricted doe seasons as opposed to the season-long doe shooting allowed in many counties which helped set the 1963 record. Does made up 409., of the 1963 harvest but only 16% of this years. / Most of the increase came from eastern counties, many of which had doe shooting for the first time since 1964. The limited doe shooting ranged from the last day to the last two weeks. The kill in counties which went from bucks only to limited doe shooting averaged about 200 more with the increase split about 50-50 between does and bucks. The antlered buck kill was higher in most eastern counties this year indicating a generally higher population. Southampton county was tops in the state as usual with a whopping total of 2,153 deer. Bath county ranked second with a kill of 1,861 followed closely by Rockingham with 1,593. Other counties where over 1,000 were taken include Augusta with 1,216, Buckingham with 1,324, Caroline with 1,325 and Sussex with 1,280.

A long tree-lined driveway leads to the stately main dwelling, which contains five bedrooms, five baths, two libraries or studios, an enormous drawing room, in addition to an office suite on the ground floor. The house was built when Rappahannock was still a part of Culpeper County. In “My Rappahannock Story Book”, the author, Mary Elizabeth Hite, relates that Jessamine Hill was the home of Thomas Fletcher and his wife, Susan Stark Fletcher, whose daughter, Virginia, married Dr. Kinsey. She inherited Jessamine Hill, and her son, George, who married his cousin, Mary Fletcher, also lived there. John Kinsey inherited the property from his parents and in 1945 sold it to Mr. and Mrs. Edward Warner. The Warners sold it to Charles Marsh who added a large wing to the house.

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; $3.50 East coast; $4.00 mid-west; $4.50 West. LETTERS to EDITOR Dear Editor: Last week the Rapp. News carried a report by Mrs. Harris on the latest developments on the proposed Potomac Edison transmission line through Rappahannock and I’m appalled by one fact in particular. When the Board of Supervisors and a group of citizens over whose land the line will probably be run filed separate requests to the State Corporation Commission that they reconsider the permit they issued (without a public hearing) to the Potomac Edison Company, the State Corp. Comm, replied that it is not within their authority to determine “where transmission lines are to be located or what they are to look like” which leaves our county vulnerable, and also (here’s the horrible meaning of it all) the State Corporation Commission doesn’t even consider those landowners whose property will be spoiled as “interested parties”. The law does provide for a hearing with “interested parties”, but the Commission considers other power companies only to be interested parties and feels no obligation either to landowners or Boards of Supervisors. But they do respect Zoning Boards’ authority in dealing with details of location, etc. ofi^ line after they have issued a permit to a Power Company. They say they can issue permits to power companies without knowing exactly where the lines will go or what type of construction, and they say, in effect, that they don’t really care what people think. What has happened to “Government of the people, by the people, for the people”?. In his current book, The Greening of America, Chas. A. Reich writes: “A true definition of the American crisis would say this: we ino longer understand the system under which we live...we have become powerless; in turn, the system has been permitted to assume unchallenged power to dominate our lives, and now rumbles along, unguided and therefore indifferent to human ends.” In this transmission dispute in Rappahannock we have ample evidence of domination by unchallenged powers and of indifference. Professor Reich put it this way: “Democracy has rapidly lost ground as power is increasingly captured by giant managerial institutions and corporations, and decisions are made by experts, specialists and professionals safely insulated from the feelings of the people...corporate power is free to ignore both stockholders and consumers.” Here in Rappahannock is an example of the tremendous power-weight big utility companies have been allowed to accumulate at the expense of individual rights and how helpless people are to resist their exploitation. Except for our Zoning Board, the State Corporation Commission is the only agency in Virginia government which deals with such matters, and it is coldly indifferent to people. The people are without true representation in matters involving public utilities corporations. Imagine this country rabbit. A big dog chases it and other big dogs join the chase, and when the rabbit is caught ole man Gov. Agency (He’s the man on whose farm the incident occurs) steps in to see that each dog entitled to a bite of the meat gets it. But the rabbit? Nobody’s interested. He just gets gobbled up! But I say that if enough rabbits get off their cottontails and show their fangs and give ole man Gov. Agency an ultimatum, “either you protect us or we eat up all your lettuce”, maybe united they can get better treatment, for it’s an established fact that sometimes “lettuce” speaks louder than words.

Southern States Front Royal Cooperative Phone ME 5-3118 FRONT ROYAL Your Southern States Cooperative Agency Heart Attack? Facts Presented Here May Save Your Life (This is the first of a series of three articles presented by your Heart Association to inform readers of this newspaper about the urgent need for prompt medical help in the event of heart attack.) It may occur while you're driving an automobile, eating a meal, mowing the lawn, watching television, sleeping or in countless other situations: • You feel a prolonged oppressive pain or discomfort in the center of your chest, just behind the breastbone. • The pain may radiate to a shoulder, arm, neck or jaw. • The pain or discomfort is often accompanied by sweating. • Nausea, vomiting and shortness of breath may also occur. • The symptoms may subside, then return. Symptoms vary but there are the usual warning signs of heart attack. If these things happen to you, you may be suffering a heart attack. And. if this is the case, the next 72 hours may be the most critical in your whole life. The first four hours are especially perilous. Although your heart may be literally “too good to die." having suffered relatively minor heart muscle damage, the chances of your incurring a severe and ordinarily fatal change in heart rhythm (ventricular fibrillation i are about 25 times as great during the first four hours than during the next 24. Instant recognition of heart attack symptoms, and immediate medical assistance, may well represent the difference between life and death insofar as you are concerned. Minutes and seconds count. The first thing for you to remember is minimize physical exertion Then, immediately. von should call a doclor or. preferably, h a v e someone do it lor you. If for any reason you can't reach him. do not dcla\ hut “el by the speediest means to the emergency room of the nearest hospital with the hope of getting “wired for sound” at the earliest possible moment. Get there in an ambulance, automobile or taxi. But get there—and fast! Ideally, within minutes you will be in a coronary care unit with electrodes touching your skin as a part of a complex system which continuously monitors tlje heart’s electrical activity. If there is any change in heart rhythm or rate above or below a preset range, an alarm will sound and within seconds skilled personnel will act to forestall or correct whatever is wrong—most often an irregularly or rapidly beating heart, shock or total cessation of circulatory ftinc* tions. ' Despite the fact that the first hours are the most critical, one group of researchers found that the average “deci* sion time”—that is, the time intervening between the onset of symptoms and lifting the phone off the cradle—is three or more hours. On the average, it is believed. about eight hours elapse between the start of warning signs and one’s admission to a hospital emergency room. The decision to seek medical assistance is far too serious to be entrusted to the patient himself. It is a respom sibility that must be accepted by the wife, husband, relative, or friend. In the next installment, we shall examine the coronary care unit and its enormous life-saving potential—a potential which depends v e r y largely on recognition of symptoms, and moving immediately to seek medical assist a nee Presence of Snowshoe Rabbits in Virginia Confirmed by Warden The presence in Virginia of varying hares, better known as snowshoe rabbits, has been confirmed through the efforts of Game Warden, E. R. Arrington, assigned to Highland county who succeeded in locating three specimens, reports, Supervising Game Biologist, J. W. Engle. One of the rabbits taken by George J. Colaw of Bluegrass, Virginia, a member of the successful hunting party, will be mounted and displayed in the Game Commission’s Richmond office. Snowshoes were reported as uncommon in Highland county by Handly and Patton in their book “Wild Mammals of Virginia,” published in 1947, although their original range is thought to have included some of the higher elevations in the state. In 1958, some 30 snowshoe hares were obtained by the Game Commission from the Wildlife Research Unit at the University of Maine and released in the extreme Northeastern corner of Highland county. Rumors that the animals were being seen by hunters have filtered out of the area for years but Game Commission personnel had never before had the opportunity to examine any of the rabbits. The hares were reportedly jumped from spruce thickets in the area: The one taken for mounting weighed 4 pounds'.' All of thfe three animals examined weh£ brown and white spotted, a condition normally encountered when they are in the process of changing from brown summer pellage to winter white or vice versa. Such coloration would be advantageous with Virginia’s intermittent snows so it is possible that natural selection has favored animals with incomplete color change. The main range of the snowshoe, characterized by deep and persistent winter snow*, corresponds generally to what biologist know as the “Canadian life zone.” Virginia counts two other unusual rabbits among its fauna, the New England cottontail and the marsh rabbit. The New England cottontail is a smaller version of our common cottontail with short ears edged in black. It is found at high altitudes in the States’ western mountains. The marsh rabbit is a dark brown, almost tailless version of the cottontail whose Virginia distribution is limited to the general area of the Dismal Swamp. gp MORE WILL LIVE New Rays of Hope for All Hearts I Library Lines I&E PROGRAM > Despite the severe cold weather, the talk by Mr. James P.

Either they enjoy it or else they have a definite quirk or twist in their mental facilities. Certainly there are many wives who would agree with the latter. Just pause and reflect a moment. How many times have you been to a dinner party and found a bevy of unattended lovelies on one side of the room and a huddle of cattle talkers on the other. What about the intelligent, distinguished branch of this breed, who couldn’t tell you their wives grandmother’s maiden name, but can and will tell you at the slightest excuse the dams of the favorite cows to the 4th, 5th and yea even unto the 10 generation. Then there are the characters who flounder around in waist deep snow drifts, with the thermometer huddled near zero, morning after morning to tend their herd. Then comes a day when they rush and cuss to get the feeding done early so they can do what? Why drive to West Virginia or Maryland to look at some more cows, of course. An how, about the guys who work the night shift over the Gap or down country just so they can have their days free to devote to their cows. Just think of how many men fight the hustle and rush to commute to D. C., and even as far as New York so that they too may have the pleasure of supporting a cow herd. And then to top it off the men who have the cows, hire a guy called a county agent, who doesn’t have any cows, to help tell them how to riise their cows. Kind of makes, you wonder doesn’t it?

As our population has increased, the problem has developed to a disaster level. Fortunately, we now seem to appreciate the seriousness of the situation, and have started the first feeble efforts to reverse the trend. Our great ability in industrial development is the prime cause of pollution. The factories and businesses which provide us with the luxuries of our affluent life, are also the causes of most of the noise, air and water pollution. Do you understand the tremendously important role plants have in protecting and improving our environment? Greater use of plants in home gardens and landscaping, and in community beautification, will make a positive contribution in reducing pollution Green plants are the great air purifiers. They absorb carbon dioxide from the air, and release oxygen which is necessary for all animal life. In the process, by photosynthesis, plants manufacture the basic carbohydrate materials which we ultimately use as food. Therefore, the more plants we use in our gardens and landscape, the more we help nature purify the air. Trees are particularly helpful for improving the environment. They help cool the air in summer and provide welcome shade. Their foliage screens out dust from the atmosphere. In winter, trees reduce wind velocity and help Call Us For Shengas Corp. PHONE 635-3556 Freni Royal, Fa. reduce heat loss from homes. Trees and shrubs in the landscape provide an effective sound barrier. They help break up sound waves, change their direction and reduce their intensity. |f your house is located on a noisy street or highway, plant more trees and shrubs to reduce the din. Shrubs along highways not only reduce noise, they provide beauty and safety. Shrubs with attractive form, foliage or flowers, increase the interest of highway driving. Even more important, plantings along the roadway, and in the center strip, help prevent head-on and off-the-road crashes. In all locations, plant materials help reduce soil erosion by water or •wind’. -The prevention of erosion by water is really a two-fold benefit. The presence of plants causes rain water to move more rapidly into the eaiMi and, instead of the water and som running off, they are both saved. As a home owner, you can lead the fight against visual and environmental pollution. You can actively participate in making your home, and your town or city, a neater more attractive place to live. Plan now to improve your home landscaping, and increase your gardening activity next spring.

ASC Conservation Prog’am Cost Shared Farmers have known REAP as ACP -- The Agricultural Conservation Program. The cost-sharing principle will be the same - that is, farmers and the Federal government will share equally in paying for beneficial conservation practices. The restructured program will be in line with modern day needs for a better environment, both on and off the farm. The Washington announcement by Secretary Hardin stated that major considerations in authorizing cost-sharing of any conservation practice will be the resulting public benefits such as pollution abatement, enduring soil .and water conservation, recreation, wildlife, and open space as well as the degree of permanency achieved. A major thrust will be to reduce water pollution. Water retaining and retarding measures oin farms - such as dams and pppds, permanent grass cover, waterways, buffer strips, and tree United States is eligible for ' Medicare medical insurance,” she said. “More than 9 out of 10 in that age group are enrolled.” , Medical insurance is funded by j individual voluntary monthly premiums that are matched by the Federal Government. If a person enrolls after his first, or 65th birthday, sign-up period, he pays a premium that is l(f percent higher for each full year that elapses after that first sign-up period, Mrs. Crumpton said. “If you enroll and then cancel your Medicare medical insurance, you’re eligible to re-enroll only once,” she said. “You may sign up again during a general' enrollment period...January, February, or March of each year that begins within 3 years after your protection stopped.” , Medicare medical insurance 1 supplements Medicare hospital insurance, which is funded by regular social security contributions and helps pay hospital bills for eligible people 65 or over, j Medicare is administered by the j Social Security Administration.

They-shall be allowed one (.1) year after adoption of this ordinance in which to completely screen the operation by use of a masonry wall, a uniformly painted solid board fence, or an evergreen hedge at least six (6) feet or more in height, on any side open to view from a public road or private residence.” The definition of an automobile graveyard as put forth in Code cf Virginia, 1938, p. 439; Michie Code 1942, Sec. 3030c. is as follows: “AUTOMOBILE GRAVEYARD: Any lot or place which is exposed to the weather upon which more than five (5) motor vehicles of any kind, incapable of being operated, are placed.” The definition of a junkyard, as defined in Chapter 304, Acts of 1938, Code of Virginia, is as follows: “JUNK YARD: The use of any area of land lying within one hundred (100) feet of a State Highway or the use of more than two hundred (200) square feet of land in any location for the storage, keeping, or abandonment of junk including scrap metals or other scrap materials. The term “junk yard” shall include the term “automate graveyard” as defined in Chapter 304, Acts of 1938, Code of Virginia.” All persons violating the above ordinance will take immediate action to comply with the Zoning Ordinance. plantings - will be encouraged. These will be directed toward reducing silt in streams, rivers, lakes, and other bodies of water and toward reducing pollution from animal wastes, fertilizers, and pesticides. County farmers should be made aware that this announcement means we will be able to continue cost-sharing on anti-pollution measures which were approved last year under ACP and also such long-standing conservation practices as those just named. As in prior years, applications for conservation cost-sharing will be made at the County ASCS office and must be approved by the County ASC Committee before work begins. The farmer-elected committeemen will continue to select practices best suited for meeting local needs, will determine which farm lands need treatment, and will fix the amount of cost-sharing to be provided each approved applicant. An allocation of REAP funds for the County is expected to be made soon. Cost-sharing applications by farmers cannot be accepted at their county ASCS office until the 1971 REAP funds allocation for the county is announced. Sign-up dates for REAP will be announced when the funds allocation is received. Meanwhile, farmers should determine the practices most needed and estimate total costs so they will be ready when the time comes. Engagement Announced Mr. and Mrs. Fred T.

Valentine’s Day 14^ CULPEPER BOOK STORE Main Street Culpeper, Va. We Live In A Massive Economy (Editor's note: This is one of a series on consumer education by Don L. Long, Virginia Tech professor in agricultural economics and extension economist.) > BLACKSBURG - It’s a “massive” economy we live in. To get and maintain our standard of living with its abundance and low cost we pretty much depend on three masses; mass production, mass distribution and marketing and mass consumption. Mass production needs little description. The miracle of mass production in automobiles, in food, in clothing and the million and one other things we grow and manufacture is well known. It would be very. difficult to enjoy life as we do without a base of efficient, rapid, low cost mass production such as we have. Yet, without mass distribution and marketing the mass production would lose much of its value. If we’re going to grow our oranges in one or two places, make most of our automobiles in four or five major cities, and concentrate our furniture manufacturing in one or two states, we’ve got to have some way to get them to us. Mass distribution and marketing has been the answer. Actually, efficient and wonderful as is our mass distribution and marketing system there is some question as to whether it has kept pace with mass production. For one thing, it hasn’t had as long to develop; for another, it probably can t be as massive minded. Mass consumption is a third part of the recipe for good living. Mass production and mass distribution and marketing call fdr large numbers of consumers, with a large number of them using a product or service. We do have large numbers of people, over 200 million of them. We also have large concentrations 'of people, with a 50 million plus population in the Norfolk to Boston Megolopolis. And many of us will buy a product or service. So, mass consumption has assisted greatly in the total effort toward higher 'living standards. . ,ds’.

New Group of Teenagers Emerging With Special Comprehensive Needs By Alfred L. Scheuer, Ed.D., M.D. Assistant Professor of Pediatrics and Director, March of Dimes Meningomyelocele Clinic, New York Hospital The medical world is beginning to see a new group of teen-agers who have special physical and emotional problems. I am not talking about rebellious youth on strife-torn campuses nor school-age drug users. \ I m talking about the youngsters who would not have survived early childhood as recently as 20 years ago. Now, thanks to improved diagnosis and treatment, children with a birth defect called meningomyelocele have been given a lease on life that runs years beyond the previously allotted span. Meningomyelocele is a congenital malformation of the back, usually in the form of an open spine. It causes damage to the spinal cord. This leads to malfunction of the bladder and bowel, and difficulty in walking. Before modern surgical techniques were developed, kidney failure was a common cause of death in these cases because urine would back up in the bladder, causing an eventually fatal infection. Today, however, children born with this birth defect can undergo ileal conduit surgery, a diversionary, life-sparing operation that prevents chronic kidney disease. Meningomyelocele, the most common of the major birth defects, does not of itself entail mental retardation. Frequently the child can walk without aid of braces or crutches. Emotional Problems Those of us working directly with these young people want to help them with more than regular physical examinations and prescriptions. As they approach adolescence, they inevitably experience a tangle of emotional conflicts. Social isolation ranks high, a factor which often impairs the young person’s self-confidence and belief in his own ability to function in the everyday world. Frequently, they are over-protected by the family and have little informal, give-and-take contact ^vVith their peers, even in school. This, of course, height DR. ALFRED L. SCHERZER and associates at the March of Dimes Birth Defects Center at New York Hospital, are studying new ways of bring■ng comprehensive help to children who require help from many specialists. As medical advances constantly improve their chances for a longer life span, these youngsters face unique physical and emotional problems. ens their sense of being different and alone. Mv colleagues and I here at the March of Dimes Meningomyelocele Clinic have been particularly concerned about this. We know what potential these children have if given the right kind of support and direction. Recently we finished a study of a small group of patients and families from the clinic to learn more about the social and emotional pressures these children face as they grow older. Much valuable information was uncovered and we have set up several new programs to deal with these needs. “RAP Sessions” Chief among them is a loosely structured club, or group session, for girls 11 to 15 years old. Eventually we will have mixed meetings, but we decided to start off with separate sessions. It was the first opportunity that many had had to meet informally with others who shared their problems. It came as a great relief to the girls to exchange questions and ideas about such acute subjects as dating, school, family, meeting people and handling questions about their condition. They were particularly anxious to talk about the sensitive issue of the conduit oper ation that all had experienced. A doctor, clinical nurse or medical social worker is always present at these “rap sessions.” The meetings also give them a chance to meet and mingle with high school and college volunteers from the New York chapter of the March of Dimes.

When I see a thin new moon I think of Carruth’s poem, Each in His Own Tongue — “Like tides on a crescent seabeach, When the moon is new and thin, Into our hearts high yearnings Come welling and surging income from the mystic ocean, Whose rim no foot has trod,— Some of us call it Longing, And others call it God.” Why do we feel this longing for something we cannot define?

SHOP IN CULPEPER AND SAVE CULPEPER RETAIL MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION Kickoff Date for Park Cabin Application Set February 26 February 26 is the annual kickoff date to apply for summertime cabins in Virginia’s state parks. The Division of Parks said it will start taking applications that day for 148 vacation cottages in eight parks. They will be rented for 19 weeks from May 17 to September 27 and can be reserved only b> using official forms provided by the agency. Because the demand for accommodations is heavy and grows every year, a schedule is set up to give everyone a fair chance, the division explained. The reservations office will not accept applications until the 26tha Friday-either by mail or delivery in person, and it will return any arriving earlier. Both that day and the following Monday, the forms will be mixed together. Then they will be drawn at random, so all have an equal chance, said the division. From March 2 through the 10th, applications will be handled on a first-come, first-served basis-but only from Virginia residents. After they’re assigned, out-of state requests will be processed beginning March 11. Persons wanting application forms may write or call the Division of Parks any time, but no reservations can be made by phone. The division’s address is 501 Southern States Building, Richmond, Va. 23219. The phone: 770-2132. State park superintendents also have the forms available, as well as information offices of the Virginia State Travel Service. They’re located in Richmond, Washington, D. C., and New York City, in addition to several stations on Virginia’s interstate highways. The parks agency cautioned applicants to schedule mailing the forms to reach its office no earlier than February 26. No payment should be sent with an application, said the division, ^ut it will be due at least 30 days before the cabin is to be used. The fee will not be refunded for a cancellation less than 30 days prior to the week of occupancy, except in case the cabin is rented to someone else. A reservation is limited to one week, although it may be extended to a second week if the cottage has remained unreserved. Rentals begin and end on Mondays. All cabins are furnished for family housekeeping. They accommodate from two to six persons, with rental rates scaled to cottage sizes and number of occupants, and are available on a non-racial basis. State parks that have cabins are Claytor Lake, near Radford and Dublin in Pulaski County; Douthat, in Bath County north of Clifton Forge; Fairy Stone, in Patrick County near Bassett and Martinsville; Hungry Mother, north of Marion in Smyth County; Prince Edward, in Prince Edward County near Burkeville; Seashore, at Cape Henry in Virginia Beach; Staunton River, in Halifax County; and Westmoreland, on the Potomac River in Westmoreland County near Montross. Travel Survey Shows 165% Increase In Virginia From 1949-1969 The number of out-of-staters visiting Virginia by car annually rose by 165 percent between 1949 and 1969, and their expenditures increased by almost 94 percent, the State Department of Highways found in its fifth visitor travel survey. Findings of the survey, based on more than 65,000 interviews conducted by the Department’s traffic and safety division, are contained in a statistical report being distributed to hundreds of individuals and dozens of organizations interested in the State’s travel industry. 1 J. P. Mills, Jr., traffic and safety engineer for the agency, said the first study - made in 1949 - showed 17,360,625 persons visiting Virginia in a total of 7,820,855 cars. In 1969, he said, 46.153.000 persons came in 21.062.000 cars. They spent $220,217,00 in 1949 and $426,875,000 in 1969, Mills estimated.

HIGHWAY 522 FLINT HILL, VA. PHONE 675-3646 Draft Reforms to Achieve Equity The Director of the Selective Service System today characterized President Nixon’s proposed draft reforms “as the steps likeliest to achieve real equity in our nation’s draft system.” A presidential message to the Congress released today requests a two-year extension of induction authorization. Presidential authority to end student deferments and divinity student exemptions, and the establishment of a uniform national call was also requested. The abolition of undergraduate student deferments and a uniform national call first were advocated by the President in a message to the Congress, on April 23, 1970. Dr. Tarr explained “that under current regulations which defer undergraduate students, those young men who have the cultural, educational, or financial background to enter college are allowed to defer their exposure to the draft for a long period of time...while their less-eduucated, or differently-inclined counterparts have no similar opportunity. It would seem to be in the best interest of all concerned to expose all young men equally to the possibility of being drafted, and to do it before they assume the expense and involvement of a college education.” If Congress approves the President’s request to give him authority' to end deferments, the White House says that an executive order will be issued which ends the granting of 2-S undergraduate college deferments with the originally proposed effective date of April 23, 1970. This means that no new 2-S deferments would be granted to young men who enter college in the future, and that the deferments granted to undergraduates who entered college after April 23, 1970 would be cancelled. Students who were enrolled in full-time programs prior to April 23, 1970 would retain their eligibility for deferments, as long as they continue to meet the current requirements for deferment eligibility. j The President today also asked that special exemptions for divinity students be aided by congressional and executive order action. Under the President’s proposals, these would be granted through January 28, 1971. ‘‘The uniform national call proposal,” went on Director Tarr, ‘‘is the most appropriate method of calling young men in the future. As now authorized, the random selection, or lottery system results in some young men being drafted in one part of the country, while young men with the same lottery numbers elsewhere are not called. The uniform national call would amend the lottery system so that all young men with the same random sequence number would be called at the same time for induction, allowing for fair and uniform treatment nationwide.” ...give, tothe March of Dimes We Can Supply All Yc.tr (WttMIIClTO CULPEPER BUILDING A SUPPLY COUP. i Phone :VA5-8383 Culpeper.

Crumpton, manager of the Winchester Social Security Office. Mrs. Crumpton also points out that prompt filing is a must for people who want to get full Medicare coverage, but are still working' and thus ineligible for monthly benefit payments. What is prompt filing? It depends on the type of claim being filed. Generally, one should file a claim in any of the three Smokty Soya: MCuu.4! MAN-LETS [GETTING CARELESS WITH FIRE I #?TT mf? A burned forest just isn’t any good to anyone! months preceding the month for which he will be first eligible. For example; - A worker will be 65 in November 1971 but will retire at the end of June 1971. If he wants to claim a reduced retirement benefit effective for July, he should file during the April-May-June period. If he wants benefits effective November, he should file in the August - September-October period. He should not delay filing until November because that would cause his medical insurance coverage to be effective only with December. Medicare has two parts Hospital Insurance and Medical Insurance. To get Medical Insurance coverage, no work covered by Social Security is required. But it is necessary to be! 65 years old and to enroll during an enrollment period. To have this coverage effective at age 65 one must sign up for it some time during the three-month period preceding the month in which he reaches age 65. There have been many cases of loss of coverage in this area and quite a few involved wives, older than their spouses, who delayed filing until their husbands were 65.
