Local Resi’ents More Heavily Insured Residents of Rappahannock County, reacting to the nation’s economic downturn during the last year or two, have set about putting their own finances on a sounder footing. Notwithstanding the fact that their paychecks have been on the rise, most families have been affected by the recession. The higher cost of living, the growing amount of unemployment and other domestic problems, combined with the war in Vietnam, have led them to postpone some of their non-essential spending. Most of the money they would have spent, under normal conditions, went into their savings accounts, into reducing their general indebtedness and into life insurance and health insurance. From the standpoint of insurance, Rappahannock County residents are better protected, as a result, than they have ever been. In the local area, the amount of life insurance in force at the beginning of this year reached a new high of approximately $23,355,000. The facts and figures on the distribution of insurance, nationally and by states, are contained in the 1970 Life Insurance Fact Book. They show that the average family increased its protection by $1,600 in the past year. The additions have brought the overall amount of life insurance in force in the United States to more than $1.4 trillion. The additions have brought the overall amount of life insurance in force in the United States to more than $1.4 trillion Virginia State’s share of this total is placed at $31,582,000,000, as compared with the $29,243,000,000 reported a year ago. Not included in these figures are ■the coverage provided by the Federal government for veterans and others and the insurance issued by fraternal organizations. The report states that a sharp increase in the number of young families “with bigger incomes and often greater responsibilities” may have been another major factor behind the 1970 surge in insurance coverage. For the average family in the State of Virginia, the amount of insurance carried is found to be equivalent to its net earnings, after taxes, for a period of 28.6 months. In Rappahannock County on this basis for the average level of income prevailing in the local area, ownership of life insurance now comes to approximately $19,600 per family. First Aid Class Begins April 6 at Washington American Red Cross First Aid Classes will start Tuesday, April 6 at the Fire House in Washington, Va. from 7-9 p.m. Instruction will be given by Mrs. Bertha Armel in both Standard and Advanced courses.

This service will provide an opportunity for cattle producers to improve their efficiency of marketing livestock. The program will provide sales and marketing service; a sales representative responsible to producer members; a flexible organization to to meet the changing methods of marketing and to return to the producer the maximum share of the market price. This ser vice-to-member program has been developed by the Livestock Advisory Committee of the Virginia Farm Bureau Federation after a 3-year study of marketing problems and opportunities. A presentation of the Livestock Marketing Service will be made at a meeting in the courthouse at Washington on Monday, April 5, 1971 from 7:30 until 9 p.m. All persons interested in learning about the service are invited whether you are a member of the Rappahannock Farm Bureau or not. mm ^Guest speaker for the Amissville banquet was Delegate Duncan C.

With him are Mrs. Gibb, Paul A. Poling. Mrs. Charlie Compton and Mr. Compton. Mr. Poling was toastmaster during the dinner, filling in for Ralph H. Rowzie who was ill.

This goal, set by the state unit, is the same as that of the two past years. However, Rappahannock was successful last year in exceeding this goal with the final tally standing at $1,965. Mrs. Reynolds said, “With the consistent efforts of all who have helped through work and contributions in the past plus the interest and aid of more recent residents, there is little doubt that the goal can be reached and exceeded also.” The chairman said the kick-off date for the crusade is April 7 and it will continue through the 25th. Captains of the county districts who have been named are: Jackson, Mrs. Sharon Donahey; Piedmont, Mrs. Harriett Stokes; Hampton, Miss Bernadine Wilson; Stonewall, Mrs. Donna Fisher and Wakefield, Mrs. Liz Scherschel.

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. -f-. L ^ Subscriptions (in advance) $3.00 in Rappahannock and adja* cent counties; $3.50 East coast; $4.00 mid-west; $4.50 West; LETTERS to EDITOR L Editor The Rappahannock News Washington, Virginia Dear Mrs. Latham: I d like to add my voice to the power line controversy as a property-owner, tax-payer and friend of the County. The power line apparently will not cross my land in the Wakefield District near Flint Hill. However, I shall have to look at it the rest of my life and suffer a loss of property value. I came to the County to escape the scenic and environmental degradation which afflicts northern Virginia in the Washington, D. C. area. My wife and I found what we needed in Rappahannock County-a rural setting with great scenic beauty and a friendly, decent people who know how to live. Now Potomac Edison intends to blight the County with an unwanted power line and in the process blight the lives of its people. Environmental blight is really something to think about, especially when it is caused by “the running of a line,” as in this case. Think about railroads and the squalor which goes with much of the track where people live, airports and the noise and pollution which attends them, pipelines (except where buried) and their hard impact on land and people and marine terminals which degrade and pollute. Think also of the controversy and severe social unrest which goes with the building of freeways through and around cities where people’s lives are blighted by overhead, roaring traffic adjacent to their homes. Power lines are no different-it just takes a little longer. The lesson is clear-everywhere mao runs a line of any kind, blight goes with it. Hus power line, if built, will ultimately result in a line of degradation running the entire length of the County. The abused land which lies beneath it will be the first to go the way of further abuse. Roads and other developments will be laid to it for uses not conforming to the agricultural use of the County’s land. In modern times, power lines are often the front runners in the decline and fall of an area. Let’s not let it happen here. We adults have not only ourselves to think about. Let’s include the children and young people who care much more than we did when we were their age. Sincerely yours, A. T. Wright FOR Get yourself a good, thorough examination once a year Let your doctor really look you over The idea is to keep you healthy. If nothing's wrong (and more than likely, there isn't) hooray1 Come back next year. But if anything's suspicious, you've gained the most important thing of all: time All Daddies should know how to take care of themselves So they can have the fun of taking care of their kids.

Gibb of Warren County announced that he would seek the Democratic nomination for one of the two seats in the House of Delegates from the new 17th District. Mr. Gibb now serves in the House of Delegates from the 28th District composed of the counties of Fauquier, Rappahannock and Warren. Under the new re-apportionment law enacted by the General Assembly at the 1971 Session the 17th District was formed and includes the counties of Clarke, Fauquier, Frederick and Warren and the city of Winchester. There will be two Delegates elected from the entire District. In making his announcement, Delegate Gibb stated that he regretted that Rappahannock County was not included in the new District, but he was pleased that Clarke, Frederick and Winchester had been added. He also stated that the experience he had gained during the past two sessions of the General Assembly would be of tremendous value in the effective representation of all the people in the 17th District. The Democrats from the 17th District will hold a convention in Front Royal on May 15th to elect two nominees. Prior to that time each county and city in the District will select delegates to the convention. ASC Programs - - (Continued from Page 1) set-aside farm programs would be asked to set aside acreage that had been in crop production at least one of the three previous years. This would have meant a hardship for some farmers, for instance those with good potential cropland in permanent cover. Also, it would have limited a fanner’s freedom to make his own farm management decisions just at a time when farm programs are being shaped to give farmers more decision - making freedom. So the U. S. Department of Agriculture revoked the l-in-3 rule for set-aside land, and ruled that set-aside acreage must be of at least average productivity for the farm. now u nas Deen announcea mat the same ruling will be in effect next year also. I want to emphasize that the average productivity rule will be closely followed. If a producer designates set-aside acreage which is below average in productivity for his farm, his County ASC Committee will reduce the producer’s farm payment by an amount to reflect the difference in productivity of the set-aside acreage and the acreage on which the program crop is produced. Farmers signing up for one or more of the 1971 feed grain or wheat programs agree to set-aside part of their land - 20 percent of the feed grain base, and 75 percent of the domestic wheat allotment. The program signup period is underway now and continuous through April 9 at County ASCS Offices. After his crops are up - usually in May - a program participant certifies compliance with the programs he has signed up for, at which time he designates exactly his set-aside acreage. Following ertification, spot-checks may be made on the farm at any time to determine if farm program provisions have been fully complied with. Spot-checks may be conducted by either local or out-of-State ASCS compliance officials. companied by her mother, Mrs. M. H. Brady of Flint Hill. Mrs. James Smith of Chevy Chase, Md. is spending a few days with Mr. and Mrs. T. W. Latham. Child Care Survey Concerned members of Rappahannock County are making a survey to determine if there is a need for a qualified child care center for County residents. The purpose of the care center would be to serve the working mother by providing capable full or part-time care for children. ^innnnnrarnmci It is hoped that this would be a community project supported by all concerned residents.

It has been annually sponsored by the Rappahannock County Jaycees. As in past years the cleanup is done in conjunction with the up-coming trout season. In an effort to take this project a step farther this year, the Jaycees are providing trash baa-els , fpr. <wse_pf fishermen and travelers of these roadways. Hopefully the presence of these containers will encourage even the worst of litter bugs to keep clean what these scouts have worked so hard to clean up. For the fourth straight year Roy Atkins of the Department of Highways spent the day loading and hauling the trash gathered. Boys taking part this year were: Bill Kilby, Bill Stokes, Bob Titchenell, Frank Coffey, Rickey Wayland, Allen Smoot, James Porter, Greg Wayland, Steve Jenkins, Jerry Grigsby, Tommy Wharton and Greg Wharton.

Well, it is Spring, the sun has crossed the equator on its way north and some of the harbingers of Spring have made their appearance. Have you ever heard a crocus? They almost make me, when they get up in the trees and laugh at me for planting a garden, knowing they will get their share. ‘They do not plant nor gather into barns, yet the Father provides for them.’ Crows, that is. Christ told His followers that they were ‘the salt of the earth’. He also told them, at one time, to gather up the leftovers .from a feast. Was He an advocate of ecology, in the sense of main taining a beauty of environment? I am inclined to think He was. Don’t you think that He, being the outspoken person that He was, would have referred to some of the litterbugs of this area as ‘the scum of the earth’? What is scum? The dictionary gives the definition: Refuse; anything worthless or vile; hence, worthless or inferior people. Now, I am not saying that all people who will let a little waste get away from them is in that category, I do say that those who make it a habit of littering are right in there, up to the hilt. Step on some toes? I meant to, hard. If the shoe fits, wear it. Wonder if it would be a good platform for some of the aspiring county officials; TO CLEAN UP THE COUNTY. I will support such a candidate. A few days I tried to inaugurate a movement to help clean up a portion of our county, it died in the embryonic state. So, let George do it. I was talking to an army officer sometime ago. He said that he had been all over the world, that our county had some of the most beautiful scenery he had seen anywhere. He didn’t seem to think much of our roads and the way they are maintained. Neither do I; and how about you? Can , something bg dona about it? LOOK and LEARN LL=J£ A C. GORPUN 1.

Substantial Reductions in Traffic Mishaps Following Experiment with Pavement Substantial reductions in traffic accidents and their severity occurred in the first year after small grooves were cut experimentally in the pavement of a half-mile curved segment of Interstate 95 in Prince William County, the Virginia Department of Highways said today in a preliminary report. , The Prince William site, on the northbound lanes south of Virginia Route 123, is one of four curves selected by the Department for study of the grooving technique. The concept originally was developed to prevent hydroplaning on airport runways, by improving traction and thus reducing skids on wet surfaces. Virginia is among the first states to experiment with such grooving for highways. Grooving of the Prince Wil Ham segment was done in August, 1969, at a cost of $13,990. A special diamond-tipped saw was used to carve eight-inchdeep grooves longitudinally. In the 12 months after grooving, as compared with the 12 months before, total accidents on that segment decreased from 16 to 5. In the 12 months before grooving, two fatal accidents took the lives of two persons; in the subsequent 12 months, there were no fatalities. The Highway Department’s traffic and safety engineers, who made the study, also reported that injury accidents dropped from 2 to 1; the number of persons iniured from 4 to 1; the number of accidents Yoger. Interment was in the Flint Hill Cemetery. Pallbearers were Collis Dodson, Grady Vest, Hillard Tharp, Jack Chadwell, Major Cowgill, Junior Adkins, Lynn Atkins and Mike Vest. Turner Funeral Home was in :harge of arrangements.

The grooving was done chiefly to determine if it would reduce hydroplaning accidents on wet pavements. During the 12 months prior to the grooving, 10 of the accidents occurred while it was raining, misting or snowing, and 6 while weather conditions were clear or only cloudy. In the next 12 months, 3 accidents happened during rain, mist or snow, and two when skies were clear. In the "before” study period, both of the fatal accidents occurred on wet surfaces and involved skidding.

Social Security Notes “First checks to include the new 10 percent monthly benefit increase authorized in legislation acted upon this week by Congress will reach 26 million social ;S£etfnty beneficiaries on June 3,” according to Mrs. Hazel F. Crumpton, district manager of the Winchester office. She reported further, “that the regular June 3 checks covering benefits for the month of May will reflect the new higher monthly amount. Separate checks, scheduled to reach beneficiaries later in June will cover the amount, of the increase for the months of January through April.” Mrs. Crumpton emphasized that social security beneficiaries do not need to get in touch with a social security office to get the checks. The payments will be mailed to beneficiaries automatically. “It will take a little over one month,” she said, “to refigure the benefit amounts for all beneficiaries, including the adjustment to take account of events that have affected their individual benefit payments for a particular month in the retroactive period. Over 2.5 million such adjustments are required in a typical month,” she said, “for such reasons as the death of a beneficiary, the remarriage of a widow, a child’s attainment of age 18, a beneficiary’s earnings, etc. The refiguring of benefit amounts is being scheduled so as to avoid delay in the regular delivery of the April 3 and May 3 checks,” she said. “Those checks will be for the amounts payable to beneficiaries before enactment of the 10 percent increase. By the first of May, the new records will have been produced by the computers on magnetic tapes showing the new monthly amount for each beneficiary and the amount of his retroactive increase. The Treasury Department will need the month of May to print the checks and turn them over to the Post Office Department for delivery to social security beneficiaries on June 3.” Mrs. Crumpton reemphasized that no contact with the local office is necessary. The increases will be automatic and should be received according to the above time schedule.

Brokenburr, Pastor Hopewell Baptist Church The Spring Season in our part of these great United States is the time when we should really feel and see the results of the Power that is greater than ourselves. The flowers, green grass and the birds demand our attention, that will give us a new start towards living closer to one another. The recognition of Divine Help will change our sense of values in what we call life. Saint Paul tells us in the Acts of the Apostles - Chapter 26:22, his recognition of Devine Aid when he said, “Having therefore obtained help of God I continue unto this day.” God’s Power is always near throughout all seasons waiting to be recognized. We miss so much when we fail to realize His near ness. Our sorrowful plight can be seen in the story of a father and son passing by a cathedral where the portrait of Jesus Christ was displayed knocking on a door. After passing the same way on several occasions, the little boy asked his father why the people in the house had not opened the door for the man outside still knocking. The father looked up and said, “The people are too far down in the basement to hear Him.” Our desires have driven us away from our needs, and the recognition of the Almighty who keeps the many planets turning around in space without running into each other, News & Renewing Subscribers We acknowledge the following lew and renewing subscribers to he Rappahannock News with ippreciation: Harold Scoggin, [lev.

What we need is a profound faith in God’s ruling all things. Lincoln had that faith when he said, “No human council hath devised nor hath any human mind worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts of the most high God, who, while dealing' with us in anger for our sins, hath nevertheless remembered mercy.” And again he said: “Now at the end of three years’ struggle the nation’s condition is not what either party or any man desired or expected. God alone can claim it. Whether it is tending seems plain. If God now wills the removal of a a great wrong and wills als<j_that we of the North as well as you of the South shall pay fiarly for our complicity in that wrong, impartial history will find therein new cause to attest and revere the Justice and Goodness of God.” God’s providential presence is especially evident in Saint Paul’s testimony when he stood in court on trial for preaching the Life Story of Jesus Christ. The then Roman ruler Agrippa permitted Paul to speak for himself - Acts 26th Chapter. Saint Paul says, “Many of the Saints and I shut up in prison having received authority from the Chief Priests; and when they were put to death, I gave my voice against them, and I punished them oft in every synagogue, I persecuted them even unto « strange cities. Whereupon as I went to Damascus with authority and commission from the Chief Priests. At Midday, 0 King, I saw in the way of a Light from Heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining about me and them which journeyed with me. And I heard a Voice saying in the Hebrew tongue ‘Saul, why persecutest thou me?’ and I said, ‘who art thou, Lord?’ and he said, ‘I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.’” Paul’s recognition of divine help started him on a great adventure likened unto our own adventure through life. The longer we live, the stronger the ties become which attract us towards another world, and the fewer and weaker those that attach us to this. In journeys during life we move from one place to another Card Of Thanks We would like to express our appreciation and gratitude to the friends and relatives who were so kind to us at the death of our loved one, Wilber Atkins.

He represented this same area on the Board of Directors of the Society in 1963-64-65. with reluctance to leave the old, but so eager are we for the new that we cannot be held back. So with the great adventure there may be reluctance to take our final farewell, but there comes a time when there is such eagerness to move on that we would not permit ourselves to be held back, even if we could. We enjoy our work, our home, our friends, our life, and we shall be sorry to part with all that is so dear to us; but when the time comes we can look “forward with eager curiosity and glad hopefulness to the new world to which the unknown voyage with the presence of the Divine will bring us.” All through life we have accepted God’s gifts of love and mercy. Surely One who has provided for us in life beyond what we could ask or pray will not desert us as we move from one world to another. With Socrates we ought to be “Of good cheer in the face of derith Arid to hold firmly that, t|iis one thing, at least, is trye; no evil can come to a righteous man either inlife or iW death and his interests are not neglected by the Gods.” FIGHT CANCER WITH A CHECKUP AND A CHECK Mrs. Edith Hackley, who has served as president of the AmissviUe Ladies Auxiliary for eleven years, was presented a gold pin by members of this group.

Deer Trapped for York River Park A total of 55 deer were successfully captured on the Naval Weapons Station Reservation near Williamsburg and transported to York River State Park in James City County which is open to public hunting, to save an isolated portion of the base herd from starvation and disease, reports Game Commission Executive Director, Chester F. Phelps. Faced with the prospect of shooting approximately 100 deer or trying the more costly alternative of capturing and moving them to other areas, the Commission chose help base personnel attempt the latter. A “Cqchur” dart gun was used in the operation to knock out the animals long enough that they could be crated and loaded on trucks. The deer were located in a housing area on the base where hunting was impractical as a means of reducing the herd. The animals had about eaten themselves out of house and home and were on the verge of serious disease outbreaks and starvation. “Additional deer will still have to be removed to completely solve the situation,” Phelps, said. i COMPLETE ONE-STOP jBuilding Supply Hardware Paint Millwork Lumber Warrenton Building Material Co., Inc.
