The recently organized group of Cubs, Den 3, in Amissville made a large contribution to the Heart Fund campaign now in progress in the county. These boys had collected in Amissville and the receipts were presented the Rey. William Hargett during the program. In this program are Wayne Kowarsch, Danny Criss, Mark Paul and Douglas Tolson with Den Mother Mrs. Margaret Criss. Mrs. Edith Reese of Baltimore, organizer of the canoe clean-up held Sunday, confers with local Game Warden Irvin L. Kenyon Jr. at the beginning of the outing. Mr. Kenyon was of much aid to Canoe Cruisers Association in planning and executing the river clean up which involved more than 70 people with 39 canoes. Amissville Ruritan Set Benefit Events The Amissville Ruritan Club is making plans for a public supper on Saturday, April 3. The horse show sponsored by this group has been set for Saturday, May 8. Local Jaycee Cagers Second in State The Rappahannock Jaycee basketball team placed second in the state in competition held Friday night in Winchester. Seventeen teams participated in the state tournament. According to Jaycee publicity chairman, J. B. Willis, the local team played three games to enter the final and fourth game. Most of the games were played back to back with little or no rest breaks between and the Rappahannock team consisted of only seven men. In the final analysis, the local boys lost by only four points to Botetourt County Chapter team. Playing for Rappahannock were Roger Atkins, Roger Anderson, C. E. Dodson, Jonas Jenkins, Ronnie Pullen, Roy Atkins Jr. and Pete Campbell with Sonny Anderson as coach. Canoe Cruiser Assoc Members Staged Thornton River Clean-Up On a sunny Sunday, February 21, the clean, cold water of the little Thornton River was bubbly as ever through the maze of litter clinging to its banks and bed. But from places as distant as Baltimore, Washington, D.C., Charlottesville and Hopewell, Canoe Cruisers Association (CCA) paddlers and other canoeists were strapping their crafts to cars for the long drive to Fletcher’s Mill near Sperryville, just below the headwaters of the Thornton. This was an unusual day for the j river. Soon the splashes of 701 canoeists with 39 boats signalled the beginning of a six and a half mile clean-up trip to rid the beautiful stream of the accumulated litter of years of neglect and indifference. The group was joined by a few local canoeists and others who watched and enjoyed the procedure from the bridge at the mill. The canoeists donned life jackets and knee pads and some wore rubber suits. They armed themselves with long hooks for retrieving debris in addition to their paddles. The clean-up canoe trip was J organized and executed under the capable direction of Mrs. Edith Reese of Baltimore. Groups of about six boats shoved off at intervals for the trip which would terminate at Rock Mills. The volume of trash collected was so great that barely a half mile downstream the boats were filled to capacity. Plans had been well laid in advance and sites had been selected at several points along the river between Fletcher’s and Rock Mills with permission of the landowners where accumulated trash could be deposited. A canoe full of glass bottles was taken back to Baltimore by Mrs. Reese, and will be re-cycled for use. When the ground is firm enough, the landowners will haul out the huge piles of debris. Mrs. Reese had warm words for Game Warden Irvin Kenyon and said, “We couldn’t have made the trip without him -- he was great, coming out on his own time to survey the river with us several weeks ago, getting burlap bags, checking water levels and talking with property owners -- Why, he even sawed several trees which had fallen across the stream.” Quite a few fishermen were in the group but Sunday’s catch was a bit unusual. Mr. Kenyon set no limits on what could be caught. The canoeists found the stream teeming with beer and soft drink cans, styrofoam cups, auto, truck and tractor tires, oil cans and oil drums, pipe, road guard railing and innumerable pieces of plastic. It seems that' the river is frequently stocked with garbage also, for such items as spray starch and talcum powder cans, after shave bottles, milk cartons and bread wrappers indicated time and again that the river is being used as a general dump. The CCA, many of whose members live in Virginia, is planning to explore What can be done to help clean up the Thornton permanently. If you have any suggestions as to how county trash disposal can be improved, this group would be interested. Contact Mrs. Edith Reese, Apt. 312, 3401 N. Charles St., Baltimore, Md., 21218. A good start was made on Sunday but more must be done before the banks of the Thornton are clear of litter. Individuals and groups must combine efforts with the county to clean up the river and maintain the condition. Conditions, including weather and water depth, were ideal Sunday for the trip. Only about this time of year is the river navigable. The water Sunday was the six-inch mark which is most suitable and it will probably continue navigable through March. Correction Noted The Adult Education program will be concluded on Thursday, March 11 instead of the 18th as was erroniously reported to this newspaper last week. Certificates for those who completed a course will be presented at that time. Church Supper The monthly fellowship supper at Reynolds Memorial Baptist Church in Sperryville is set for Wednesday, March 3 at 6:30 p.m. This will be a covered dish supper and everyone is welcomed. 4 P.M. Burning Law In Effect March 1 Clifton W. Jenkins, Chief Forest Warden for Rappahannock County announces that the 4 o’clock burning law becomes effective Monday, March 1, and is in effect until May 15. This law states that open air fires are unlawful within 300 feet of the woods, or inflammable material leading to woodland, except between the hours of 4 p.m. in the afternoon and 12 midnight. This law is a good forest fire prevention measure because it prohibits burning during the time of day when a fire burns most rapidly because of higher temperatures, lower humidity, and increasing winds. Since the spring months are generally hazardous, the law is seasonal, applying only during those months in which the forest fire danger is most critical. Forestry personnel ask the cooperation of the public when burning anything outside the home. By burning during the legal hours, the danger of a fire escaping is not as great as earlier in the day. Even when burning after 4 o’clock the fire should be attended and completely extinguished before leaving. Burn on an evening when the wind is calm and the air is moist. This reduces the chance of blowing embers starting a fire in nearby grass or woodland. The law will be enforced through the aid of forest fire lookout towers, airplane patrol, and all personnel of the Virginia Division of Forestry. Flint Hill Fire Co. Carnival Dates The Flint Hill Volunteer Fire Department announces the dates set for the annual carnival are Wednesday, August 4 through Saturday, August 7. This follows the custom of the this fire company to end the carnival on the first Saturday in August. The parade is scheduled for Thursday, August 5. Five Year Rise In Consumer Spending Here To get an idea of just how much the Rappahannock County economy has grown in recent years, it is necessary to look back beyond 1970 and note the changes that have taken place. The extent of that growth, since the beginning of 1965, is brought out vividly in figures released by Sales Management. They show that retail business in the local area, a major indicator, went up 80 percent in the five-year period since 1965. The gain was made despite consumer feelings over the war in Vietnam and despite domestic problems and higher taxes which led them to be more conservative in their spending during the last year or two than they would have been otherwise. i ne amount ot Dusiness done by retail stores in the Rappahannock County area rose from $2,198,000 to $3,954,000 in the five-year period, according to the findings. Part of the increase was due, of course, to inflation. The local increase of 80 percent was relatively high. It compares favorably with the gains made at the retail level in many parts of the country. Throughout the United States the rise was 33 percent and, in the South Atlantic States, 41 percent. The growth in retail activity in the local area is attributed to several factors. A principal one was the marked rise in disposable income per family since 1965, notwithstanding price hikes, bigger taxes and the larger deductions for social security. The Sales Management figures show that total net income in Rappahannock County went from $5,304,000 to $8,326,000, after taxes, in the five years. It was a 57 percent jump. For the near future in the United States, most economists forecast a slow but steady improvement in the economy, with a return of some of the zip that was lost in the last year or two. The signs are already in evidence. Interest rates have been dropping, consumers have begun to loosen their purse strings, housing starts are up and automobile prospects are favorable. Rappahannock Placed In New Senatorial District Delegate Duncan C. Gibb Reapportionment continues to be the most discussed item at this special session of the General Assembly. Last week the Senate completed it§ redistricting and Fauquier and Warren Counties will be grouped in a new Senatorial District with Clarke, Frederick, Shenandoah, and the City of Winchester. Rappahannock will be transferred into a new district including Culpeper, Madison, Page, Rockingham, and toe City of Harrisonburg. Public hearings have been held on the Congressional Districts and more than seven tentative plans have been proposed. Under all of these plans, Fauquier, Rappahannock and Warren Counties are included in the Seventh Congressional District. The House has passed a bill directing that the State Board of Education establish standards for each school district to provide quality education. If the governing body of the county does not appropriate sufficient funds to meet these standards, then the Attorney General is directed to request the Supreme Court to order the governing body to do so. This bill merely sets forth the procedure to be followed to carry out the constitutional mandate for quality education for each child in the Commonwealth.

Newbill Miller of Washington, Va. Mr. Miller is chairman of the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors. He succeeds Edward B. Lee of White Post, chairman of the Board of Supervisors of Clarke County, who has served as chairman of the Council since its organization in February of 1970. F. Douglas French of Maurertown, was elected as ViceChairman and Elizabeth W. Malta, Riverton, was re-elected Secretary-Treasurer. Mr. French and Mrs. Malta are members, respectively, of the Boards of! Supervisors of Shenandoah and Warren Counties. Membership of the Council consists of the Board of Supervisors of Clarke, Frederick, Page, Rappahannock, Shenandoah and Warren Counties, and the City Council of Winchester. It was organized in February, 1970, as a result of an earlier meeting of representatives of these governing bodies, for the purpose of providing an opportunity for members of local governmental bodies to meet on a regular basis to discuss, informally, matters of common interest and concern. Sperryville Rescue Units Marks First Year Sperryville Volunteer Rescue Squad, Inc. completes a year of active service today, February 25, 1971. Since its establishment the squad has responded to 70 calls and traveled a total of 7,500 miles. Of these calls 18 were accidents and 52 were for illness. Donald Gore, spokesman for the group, expressed appreciation to the community and all who have faithfully supported the squad and its activities. Without support of the area and county citizens, donations and contributions of time and money, the group could not function. Chris Fox, a senior, was selected 1971 Sweetheart of R.C.H.S. and received her crown and roses at a ceremony during the annual Sweetheart Dance held at the school Friday night. Roger Flinchum, a faculty member, presided over the ceremony. Other picture inside.

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 Madam Editor: On Febniary 8th, President Nixon sent to Congress a massive program to control pollution and improve the environment. Of special interest to county residents is the proposed legislation to regulate the land use of power companies. Under this law an agency at the state level would be established to insure environmental concerns in the granting of power line routes. Utilities would be required to show general plans 10 years in advance, specific locations five years in advance, and to hold public hearings two years prior to actual construction. The need for such steps is quite adequately demonstrated by the actions of Potomac Edison in regard to their proposed power line. First of all the need for a transmission line would have to be established. Such issues as a parallel VEPCO line, the new atomic Louisa plant, and the insurance of future adequate service to present subscribers could not be dismissed as independent ; events. Under the proposed agency they would be viewed in regard to their total effect. Corporate competition to effect environmental ruin would cease. In the matter of disclosure, P.E. would have had to announce the plans in detail in 1966. The facts here are all to evident. Their plans and survey were conducted with total disregard to informing the citizens of the county. The only detailed information was a letter published in this paper two weeks ago. While not so worded this information was given out only * after the continued protests of a ; local group. I There is also a further matter of i responsibility P.E. "has failed to i answer. In speaking of our future i needs for power they have not mentioned that this will entail increased production and 1 resultant air pollution. The proposed legislation would place •. this as a prime consideration. The entire broad range of proposals are designed to insure : corporate responsibility. In the : case of utilities, due to the in Can Us For Shengas Corp. PHONE 635-3556 Front Royal, Va. KWQCXKXKXXKXXK30CKXX30C creasing burden of population and the decreasing amount of natural resources, it is necessary that they be held accountable for the wisest use of land and materials. This is really our argument with Potomac Edison. No one questions a need for electricity. There are several solutions for providing service, and while they would involve reduced profits they would provide a wiser use of natural resources. The purpose of this letter is not to try P.E. under a law which does not yet exist. Rather the point is that steps are being taken to insure these things will not happen in the future. Under these proposals there is obviously little chance that such a line could be constructed. At present these laws are only proposals. There are no automatic safeguards now. There is no environmental agency to protect us. The R.E.L.P. is our only alternative to the scenic destruction this line will cause. R would be a tragedy should this needless waste be allowed through our own inaction. James F. Bowling, Jr. Flint ffill Pollution Prods Efforts to Harness Earth’s Heat More homes and factories in the future will draw pollution-free electric power from the heat of the Earth. In Italy, Iceland, Japan, New Zealand, the Soviet Union, and the United States wells down to 8,000 feet already tap superheated water that bursts free as steam to spin turbines in generator plants. The Geothermal Steam Act signed by President Nixon early this year opened 1,350,000 acres of government land in the American West to" exploration'and leasing for new geothermal power projects. Recovery Methods Studied As utility companies seek to boost output while reducing pollution from conventional power stations, new ways of extracting the underground energy are being sought. One plan calls for detonating nuclear bombs more than two miles below the surface to create “chimneys” through hot, dry rock, the National Geographic Society says. Water would be piped down to this natural boiler, recovered as steam to drive electric generators, then returned to be reheated in a recycling process. The plan is being studied by the Atomic Energy Commission. Present geothermal power plants-and one being built in Mexico-use natural steam from water trapped in porous sand above subterranean rock heated by molten magma at the Earth’s core. Scientists estimate some 168,000,000 cubic miles of heated water lie beneath the Earth’s VILLAGE SHOP Main St. - - Flint Hill, Va.

The SCA worked hard getting the decorations, refreshments, and the band ready. The music was the “Ravin Blue” which played several songs which included “Gypsy Woman, My Girl, and Black Magic Woman.” The auditorium was decorated with a large red heart in the center with the Queen’s throne in the front of the bleachers. The tables were decorated with white and pink streamers with red hearts on each end. Everyone seemed to have an enjoyable time. The Seniors are planning for their big day in June. Already they have ordered announcements, and this week they will order those high-fashion gowns which are a must for any graduate. The SCA is getting ready to start the SCA elections for next year. The executive committee met last week to nominate students for the offices of President, VicePresident, Secretary, Treasurer, and Reporter for the 1971-72 school year. ine t,igrun graaers are planning a party for this Friday, February 26. The admission will be 50 cents a person and is only open for the Eighth grade class and their dates. This just shows that the Beasties are moving up in the world. Parent-Teacher night was held last Thursday at RCHS. Many parents attended, which gave them a chance to discuss the students with the teachers. Refreshments were served in the Library. Students from the National Honor Society have been filling out applications for scholarships this week. With the help of Mr. Gray and Mr. Martin these have been finished and sent off. i,Several teachers met today in the library and at the elementary school to listen to representatives from many book companies on the quality of new books for next year. This is done so that the teachers may give some suggestions to the School Board on books they think suitable for next year. The General Business and Accounting Classes went to Mt. Pony Federal Reserve Bank Tuesday. They were given a guided tour through the bank to observe the security measures and the clerical department. The Juniors ordered their rings Tuesday, also. Many of them had one question in their minds, which type of ring to choose, a stone or the metal ring. surface. But the water can be reached only where thin spots and other anomalies in the crust allow it to rise relatively close to the surface, sometimes spouting as geysers. At The Geysers, an area 90 miles north of San Francisco, wells daily produce enough electricity for a city of 90,000. Near the Mexican border, geologists believe the Imperial Valley may be a 2,000-square-mile geothermal field where wells could provide electricity and drinking water for all of southern California. uniting nemains uncertain But drilling a well can cost $250,00Q-and prove fruitless. If the water is too salty, the high mineral content means its steam can damage turbines even though corrosion-resistant materials are used and the brine and steam are separated in a centrifuge. A successful well must deliver steam at a constant pressure and temperature for decades. SQme geothermal wells have shown slowly dropping pressures and cooler temperatures within eight years. The proposed recycling method would not depend on underground water supplies for steam. And hot, dry rock is accessible in more locations than natural steam. Italy pioneered geothermal power in 1904, and generators at Larderello are still in operation. The Geysers plant has been furnishing electricity since 1960; Japan and the Soviet Union started operating geothermal plants in 1965. Geothermal heat does more I than drive generators. Homes in Iceland have been warmed by natural steam for more than 40 years. Thermal wells in New Zealand provide steam to make pulp at a paper mill, heat greehheuses on farms, kiln-dry lumber, mold plastics, aul.Sieainiiea,n_,cirsA Rep. Gibb(Continued from page 1)' amended by the Senate, this bill grants the local governing body the authority, if it so desires, to enact a law imposing a service charge upon single and multi family dwellings owned by tax exempt organizations other than charitable and religious. The maximum amount of service charge that might be imposed is 50 percent of the real estate tax that would be imposed upon the dwelling if owned by a non tax exempt organization. The purpose is to afford tax exempt organizations the opportunity of paying for services rendered, such as police and fire protection, refuse collection, etc. This bill originated in the House of Delegates but since it has been amended by the Senate, it must now be returned to the House for further action. Under this bill none of the real estate owned by charitable and religious organizations would be subject to this service charge. It is anticipated that this Special Session will adjourn this weekend. Still remaining for action are bills to amend the constitution to provide that 18-year-olds may vote in state elections, changing the date for primary elections and providing additional funds to assist localities in construction of sewage treatment facilities. Rep. Robinson Favors “Right to Work” Rep. J. Kenneth Robinson is among Congressional sponsors of a bill to insure freedom of choice for federal employees in joining, or refraining from joining, labor organizations. The bill, similar to “right-to~ work” laws, is designed to bar agreements between the federal government and labor unions which might require federal workers covered by an agreement to join a union as a condition of continued employment. Such a prohibition was included in the Postal Reorganization Act last year, and the bill of which the 7th District Congressman is a sponsor would extend the protection to all federal civilian employees. The measure would not limit federal workers’ right to join unions, except in the case of an orgapizatjon(.asserting a right to strike agaipst the government advocating “overthrow of the constitutional, form of governs ment”, or which “discriminates with regard to the terms or conn ditions of membership because of race, color, creed or national origin.” The bill has been referred to the House Committee on Post Office and Civil Service. Lenten Programs The first of the Lenten programs at Trinity Episcopal Church Parish Hall will be Sunday, February 28, starting with a Pot Luck Supper from 5 to 7:30 p.m. This joint project of Baptist, Episcopal and Methodist churches will be under the directorship of the Rev. Jerry Campbell, the Rev. William Hargett and the Rev. William Harrison. The overall theme of the programs will be “The Role of the Church in Rappahannock County.” This week’s topic will be “Definition of Church.” Following the presentation of the theme discussion groups will be formed and then be reassembled for closing remarks. All are welcome. HEART PRINCESS JOINS DR. WHITE IN ASKING SUPPORT OF HEART FUND DR. PAUL DUDLEY WHITE, a founder and former President of the American Heart Association, pays court to 7-year-old Tammy Tuttle of Hyde Park, Mass., the 1971 Heart Fund Princess. She’s a beneficiary of open heart surgery, who now has a normal life expectancy. I Youth Organize A Youth Group has been organized under the sponsorship of the Sperryville United Methodist Church and is scheduled to meet on Tuesday, March 2 at 7 p.m. in the new Sperryville fire hall. All youth between the ages of 8 and 18 are invited to attend and join the group which has as its purpose to learn to worship, work, talk and play together. Soc. Security Notes Arranging your program schedule for the coming year? Social Security may have some help for you according to Mrs. Hazel F. Crumpton, Manager of the Winchester Social Security office. One of the many functions of a social security office is to explain that federally operated program. The Winchester office has a speaker service, films, slides, recordings, and exhibits, all designed to help make clearer what seems to many people, a very complicated program. A telephone call to that office will arrange a program for your club. Recent surveys show that a large percentage of the general public is unaware of the protection the young family has under social security according to Mrs. Crumpton. This includes the payments possible to the young worker and his family if the worker becomes disabled or to his family in case of death. This same national study concluded that although 87 percent of the public were familiar with the social security retirement benefit, only 50 percent were aware of health .and medical insurance benefits. Mrs. Crumpton reminds all program chairmen that their work can be one program easier and at the same time meet a real need of the membership through one telephone call. The telephone number for the Winchester office is 667-1511. l’oltery nurse is with pottery nipples were [liven weaning 1).lines ut ancient Greece. They we,re used for 2000 yours!

Royal Ave. Phone 635-3637 No Appointment Necessary , Mrs. Lewis on Leave of Absence Mrs. Gladys Lewis Harris, Executive Director of the Tuberculosis and Respiratory Disease Association of Northern Virginia, is taking an 18 months leave of absence to work on a special project with the Environmental Protection Agency in the Alexandria area, effective February 22. Mrs. E. Wilson Morrison will be Acting Executive Director when Mrs. Harris leaves. In the administrative office, located in Crystal City, Mrs. Harris will be working in the Public Careers Program to train disadvantaged persons in waste water treatment facilities. For the past 18 years, Mrs. Harris has been with the Tuberculosis Association, first as head of the Warren County chapter which in 1963 became a part of the area association and includes the counties of Clarke, Fauquier, Loqdoun, Page, Rappahannock and Shenandoah. Married to Claude B. Harris of Alexandria, Mrs. Harris was the recipient of the American Motor’s Conservation Awacd for outstanding volunteer service last year. Also in 1970 she received a Commendation for community service from President Nixon. Listed in Who’s Who of American Women, Mrs. Harris received the National Award as “Representative of the best in this field” for the Virginia Tuberculosis Association in 1962. She has served as President of the Virginia Conference of TB Workers and is a member of the National Conference of Respiratory Workers. After serving as the first distaff councilman of Front Royal from Heart Fund Dollars Develop New Life Saving Method-‘ECPR’ (This is the third and final article in a three-part series 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.) Following heart attack, one's chances cf s u r v i v a I are infinitely greater in a hospital than in your home, even though the hospital may not be presently able to render heart monitoring service. Almost all hospitals have equipment to electrically control a faulty heart rhythm. Further, they are equipped to administer medications designed to correct complications, as well as to utilize a new technique known as external cardiopulmonary resuscitation—ECPR. Just a few years ago an imaginative Baltimore doctor developed a method of restoring normal rhythm to a heart in ventricular fibrillation, a serious arrhythmia that is usually fatal. Later, he became the codeveloper of external cardiac compression, a procedure that has already restored to normal function thousands of stopped hearts. This maker of medical history is Dr. William R. Kouwenhoven. It is all the more remarkable that he is not a physician, but rather a doctor of engineering. His medical collaborator in both projects was Dr. James R. Jude, now of Miami. Together, they have opened a doorway of hope of many heart attack victims, who, in other circumstances, might perish. External cardiopulmonary resuscitation, used in combination with the more familiar mouth-to-mouth breathing, is a procedure to be used following “cardiac arrest’’—a term describing sudden cessation of circulatory function. The idea is to keep oxygenated blood flowing to the brain until appropriate medical treatment can be applied to restore normal heart action. Many times the heart restarts spontaneously. ECPR is done by depressing and then releasing the sternum, or breast bone, in such a manner as to squeeze the heart against the vertebral column, then permitting the heart to relax. As a result, an artificial but adequate circulation is maintained. The procedure is most effective when used in conjunction with mouth-to-mouth breathing. Many times the heart starts spontaneously during this procedure. External cardiopulmonary resuscitation is for application only by a trained person, and, in many instances, can save the victim of cardiac arrest— especially if resuscitation maneuvers are started promptly, never later than four minutes after the arrest occurs. To meet the training need. Heart Associations throughout the country are conducting educational programs which enable physicians and nurses, police, firemen, utility workers and ambulance attendants to apply emergency measures when signs of sudden death are evident. Many thousands have been already trained. 1954 to 1958, Mrs. Harris has been an active leader in local church, civic and community groups. She has served on the National Board of Directors of Keep America. Beautiful and is presently Water Committee Chairman for the Izaac Walton League of America.

Robinson Asks Identity of P.O.W.’s Washington - Rep. J. Kenneth Robinson joined today in introducing a Congressional resolution calling on North Vietnam and the Viet Cong to identify all prisoners of war they hold, and to abide by the Geneva Convention regarding humane treatment of such prisoners. “Such a resolution was adopted by the House in December, 1969, and I think it important that this 92nd Congress restate the indignation of the American people at the continuing refusal of the Hanoi regime and its Viet Cong supporters in South Vietnam to conform to the code of civilized nations in this matter,” the Seventh District Congressman commented. I He noted that North Vietnam jwas a signer of the Geneva Convention of 1949, which calls for impartial inspection of prisonerof-war camps, free exchange of mail between prisoners and theii families and the exchange of sjck Qr injured prisoners. *-x Hound Race Entries Open Foxhound owners are reminded that the drag race will be included again this year on the race card of the annual Rappahannock Pointto-Point Races.

Guitar Concert Scheduled Saturday On Saturday, February 27 at the Culpeper County High School at 8 p.m. the world famous Spanish guitarists, The Romeros, will present the second concert in the series of three sponsored by the Culpeper Community Association. Members of the board of directors come from Orange, Madison, Rappahannock, Fauquier and Culpeper. Caledonio Romero, founder and father of the celebrated Quartet, was born in Malaga, youngest son of the Spanish architectural engineer who designed the harbor of Gibraltar. Educated at the Conservatory of Madrid, he developed a technique and power of expression which brought him to national attention while still in his teens. A special aspect of Celedonio’s life and dedication to the art of the Spanish guitar is the devotion with which he has developed and nurtured the talent evidenced by his sons, Celin, Pepe and Angel. Under the guidance of their father, each has developed his own unique talents to an individual style of guitar playing which distinguishes him from any other member of the family. A quote from the New, York Times expresses their talents, "4 Romeros on 4 guitars - perfectly glorious.” | Celedonio and his three sons left | their native Spain to settle in Hie United States in 1958. The entire family now resides in Southern California. All sons are happily married to American girls, and between them they are the fathers of five potential guitar virtuosos.

State Driver Education Programs Aided with Federally Matched Funds Federal matching funds in the amount of $12,742 have been awarded Virginia for use by the State Department of Education in expanding its program of driver education and driver improvement for adults and out of school youth and establishing one for prospective operators of motorcycles and emergency vehicles, John T. Hanna, Director of the Virginia Highway Safety Division, reported today. Hanna said that opportunities for adult and out of school youths to undergo approved driver education courses are very sparse throughout the State and that those for motorcycle, and emergency vehicle operation are just about non-existent. These would probably be the first comprehensive driver education programs encompassing such broad areas on a statewide basis. He continued in saying that the new law setting the minimum driver licensing age at 18 but permitting licensing at 16 upon completion of a state approved driver education course works a hardship on out-of-school youths who do not have courses available to the extend of depriving them of certain employment opportunities involving driving. In the adult field, wives who have depended upon their husbands for transportation and who have never driven become widows who feel they must then learn to drive. Also, non-driving people moving their residences or Comm.

Announces Force Reduction A reduction in force affecting approximately 35 employees throughout Virginia was announced today by State Selective Service Director, Ernest D, Fears, jr. The reduction here was part of a nationwide personnel cutback ordered by National Selective Service Headquarters to reduce expenditures and to reorganize the System to permit operation at this reduced scale. The System had to absorb extra costs even though its budget was held at last year’s spending level. All of these changes reflect the System’s overall support of President Nixon’s pledge to the nation to lower draft calls and move towards elimination of the draft and the establishment of an all-volunteer force. However, if directed by the President, Selective Service is prepared to resume any level of induction triggered by a national emergency. Local reorganization plans require some Selective Service boards to collocate their operations. This has the advantage of increasing the number of hours collocated boards will be open to the public. The collocation of boards will eliminate some jobs but will result in increased efficiency paired with an overall cost savings to the taxpayer. For the employees being released, the State Director, complying with the request of Selective Service Director Dr. Curtis W. Tarr, has initiated counseling and job information programs. “I will not be satisfied until all of our former employees have found employment acceptable to them,” said Mr. Fears.

Mrs. Gordon is in the background. the tagged birds came from Rockingham county, one of the most recently stocked. “This means that broods are being reared in the wild, a prime prerequisite to successful pheasant establishment as a selfsustaining wild species in the state," Hart said. The Iranian blackneck and Japanese green subspecies were especially selected because they are found in native habitat most closely resembling that found in Virginia Sixty pheasant hunters were interviewed to get a sample of reaction to the season. These 6C hunters averaged seeing 1.7 hen pheasants and 2.4 cock pheasants during the season. Fifty-five percent of the group had shots at pheasants that they missed and 1 out of 5.5 hunters killed a cock bird. The surveyed hunters in general expressed themselves as liking the open season, wanting more pheasants and wanting a longer season. A subsequent mail survey of Eastern Virginia hunters revealed the same sentiments.

The set-aside program is designed for a market-oriented agriculture. It will give producers more options on what and how much to plant than the former crop-by-crop planting requirements. Under set-aside, a farmer sets aside his share of the national land diversion required to prevent overproduction - but he can plant his remaining acres to whatever crop he chooses. Regional shifts in cropping patterns are already showing up in the preliminary planting intentions survey recently conducted by USDA, as farmers seek lower production costs and higher net incomes from sales.

ROBERT L. BROWN, Treasurer of Rappahannock County establishes a preliminary payment of 32 cents per bushel for corn and 29 cents per bushel for grain sorghum times the yield established for the farm times one-half the corn and grain sorghum base. Payments to participating feed grain producers will begin as soon as possible after July 1. The certificate payment rate for wheat will depend on the final parity price for wheat and the actual market price received during the first five months of the marketing year. The loan level for wheat will be $1.25 per bushel, national average. Producer^ will get preliminary payments equal to 75 percent of the estimated face value of the certificate soon after July 1. The remainder will be paid after December 1, 1971. In 1971, acreage planted to soybeans will not be considered planted to wheat or feed grain. The Agricultural Act of 1970 provides the Secretary of Agriculture with authority to allow the planting of certain crops on set-aside acreage. The law states he must determine that such production is needed to provide an adequate supply, is not likely to increase the cost of the support program, and will not adversely affect farm income. Feed grain and wheat producers who wish to qualify for program benefits must sign up to participate during the period March 1 through April 9, 1971.

Last Sunday our class teacher used as part of her discourse the parable of Jesus, where the foolish man built his house on a foundation of sand. This passage is found in Matthew 7:26-27. In Mark 3: 25 (KJV) “If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.” I like Goodspeed’s translation. “If a household is disunited, that household cannot last.” Now, I don’t think the Master Jesus was speaking of houses except in an allegorical way. When we speak of a household we are speaking of the occupants of a particular house. How do the people in that house get along; is there sweet accord, perfect harmony, peace? Christ once said that there would be talk of peace, but there would be NO peace. I’m just betting He was right.

Oh, how I have missed you, no one will ever know how long these two years have been without you. But I guess God knows best because he came down and took you from us and He saw all those painful moments that you suffered so He called you on to be with Him in a land where you’ll suffer no more.

Could it be clashing personalities, outside influences, worry, ill-health; there are many things that can contribute to such a condition. Could it be the husband, wife, daughter, grandchildren-or do the pets have too high a priority? Oh, it could* be most anything; a wrong word at the wrong time, a little misunderstanding of no importance. My wife worries too much. Arm Forces Men Often Traffic Crash Victims “Each year a staggering number of servicemen are killed or seriously injured on Virginia’s streets and highways.” So wrote Governor Linwood Holton in a letter to accompany highway safety material to be distributed to servicemen stationed in Virginia. The Governor noted that many servicemen cannot serve their country as members of the Armed Forces at their physical and mental best because of traffic crashes. At the same time, John T. Hanna, Director of the Virginia Highway Safety Division, stated that last year saw 83 servicemen killed, a sharp rise above the 55 of 1969. Sometimes she thinks I am unhappy. One night we were sitting at the dinner (supper?) table, after the GRAND (?) . Children had excused themselves and gone to spend the evening staring at the boob tube, she jokingly said; “You are really paying for your sins.” I told her that I was only fulfilling my personal karma, when that is paid things will improve. I hope it does, for her sake. I’ve often thought that prayer had more efficacy for the individual who prayed. I may be right, however, I would like* you readers to join your prayers with mine, that my wife’s health will improve, that her worry will be alleviated and that she will be a recipient of HIS PERFECT PEACE.

Included in the folder will be the new 46-page Virginia Drivers Manual which is illustrated in color and distributed by the Division of Motor vehicles. “This manual’’ Hanna said, “should be most helpful as nonawareness of traffic laws, customs, signs and signals account for a good deal of the crashes involving servicemen coming from other states.” Folders will be delivered to the various installations by the Division’s program coordinators for distribution. Private and Soc. Sec. Insurance Compare Private life insurance in the United States has grown in close parallel to social security survivor insurance during the past 20 years, according to Mrs. Hazel F. Crumpton, social security district manager in Winchester. “The comparison suggests that survivor insurance, most of which protects the future of the dependents of relatively young workers who contribute to social security, has not displaced private life insurance, much of which is taken out on middle-aged and older lives,” she said. A Social Security Administration analysis shows that the total face value of social security survivor insurance is now about $1,100 billion and the total face value of private life insurance in force is about $1,300 billion, according to Mrs. Crumpton. “Both have grown at nearly the same rate since the end of 1950, when the face value of social security survivors insurance was about $170 billion and private life insurance about $234 billion,” he said.

The face values of social security survivors and private life insurance in force at any given time are astronomical in the study because they prevent what dependents and beneficiaries would be paid if all the insured persons died at once, Mrs. Crumpton explained.
