Trainee Hike in Local Social Security Checks Expected to Total Over $71,000 The Rappahannanock County residents who are receiving social security checks each month, how much will the recently-increased rates mean to them in dollars and cents? i What will their benefits amount to, on average, compared with what they were previously? It is estimated that the 10 per cent rise in retirement pensions approved last month by Congress, will add approximately $71,000 a year to the total that local residents have been collecting. It is estimated that the 10 percent rise in retirement pensions, approved last month by Congress, will add approximately $71,000 a year to the total that local residents have been collecting. The estimate is based upon figures for the local area, contained in the latest annual report of the Social Security Administration. It lists the number of retired and disabled workers on the pension rolls, as well as their dependents and the amounts being paid. All of them will be aided by the C Fire and Rescue [ ( Squad Notes ( Amissville Fire Company responded to a brush fire April 14 at the 0. L. Brown property at Laurel Mills. On the 15th of April the unit answered a call to a fire on Route 211 east of Amissville but it was controlled burning. Sunday Amissville answered an alarm to a wreck on Route 645 near Crest Hill (in Fauquier County) where a vehicle was burning. They responded to the same location later the same day at the request of an officer to check the area as a safety precaution. It was reported last week that Sharon Hulvey was taken from the home of Lulu Atkins to Warren Memorial Hospital by Rappahannock Rescue Squad. This was erroneously reported to this paper by a rescue squad official and is being corrected at the request of Lulu Atkins. Sharon Hulvey was taken from the home of Bertha Jackson to Warren Memorial. Flint Hill Rescue Squad on April 18 took Mrs. Mary Beumer from the home of Mrs. Guy Foster to Warren Memorial Hospital, Front Royal. On the same day Mrs. Maude Dodson was taken from the Elmer Atkins home to Warren Memorial Hospital. On April 19 Mrs. Dodson was transferred to the University of Virginia Hospital in Charlottesville. Rappahannock Rescue Squad and Fire Company and the Flint Hill Fire Company reported to a motorcycle accident and burning causing a field fire, Sunday on the Ben Venue Road. Flint Hill Ladies Honor Firemen, Guests with Their Annual Banquet Flint Hill firemen, joined by visiting fire company personnel and other guests, feasted on fried chicken and Virginia ham when they were entertained with the annual banquet given by the Ladies Auxiliary last Wednesday evening. The event took place at the fire hall and H. S. Barksdale, president of the fire company, was Toastmaster. Mrs. Barbara Gentry welcomed guests and led them in singing “America.” The Rev. Jerry Campbell gave the invocation. Mr. Barksdale introduced special guests and visiting fire and rescue squadsmen, and called on Mrs. M. R. Bradford to receive a plaque for Mr. Bradford in appreciation of his 17 years of dedicated service to Flint Hill Fire Department. These years were spent as secretary of the volunteer organization and as chairman of the mammouth parade held in connection with the annual carnival. Mr. Bradford had resigned from the position of secretary last year due to ill health. Mr. Barksdale announced the duo which was to entertain with ballads accompanied by guitars. They were Gordon Thornhill of Boston. Va. and the Rev. John McKay of Griffinsburg whose repertoire included “Wonder Could I Live There Any More?”, “Green, Green Grass of Home”, “Crystal Chandelier? and others. Representatives of these various communities attended: Culpeper, Front Royal, Marshall, Amissville, Sperryville, The Plains, Washington, Va., Brandy Station and Chester Gap. Drowsy Driver Crashes A vehicle overturned on Route 522 four miles north of Flint Hill Saturday night, apparently the result of a drowsy driver. According to investigating officer J. B. \yillis, the crash occurred about 7 p.fti. and involved a 1970 Pontiac coupe operated by Gregory Alan Timberlake of Arlington. The vehicle ran off the left of the highway, struck a rock and overturned. The operator and a passenger escaped injury, and the Trooper noted that both were wearing seat belts. new legislation. Those who have been receiving no more than $768 a year, the current minimum, will be getting $845. The maximum for an individual will now be $2,557 a year and for a couple, $4,964. Local residents who have been getting $100 a month, or $1,200 a year, will now receive $1,320 Those at the $1,800 level will get $1,980 in the future. Prior to the new change in rates, pension payments in Rappahannock County averaged $773 per recipient per year, according to the Social Security Administration. This year, with the increase, the average will rise to $850 per beneficiary. Total payments throughout the local area, based upon the number who were on the pension rolls as of the early part of 1970, will add up to about $779,000 this year, a considerable rise over the prior total of $708,000. The increase in benefits is retroactive to January. The bigger checks will start going out chlnng the first week of June. The additional amounts for the months prior to June will be issued soon afterward. There will be no immediate rise in payroll taxes to pay for the larger benefits. The only adjustment provided for is a change in the income base subject to such taxes from $7,800 to $9,000, effective next January. Collecting Litter From Virginia Roadsides Cost Record $813,500 in 1970 The cost of picking up litter along Virginia’s roadsides reached a record $813,500 last year, $15,000 more than the year before, the State Department of Highways said today. John M. Wray, Jr., the agency’s maintenance engineer, said, however, that while the total cost continued to rise the rate of increase slowed somewhat. Wray’s report, including a county-by-county tabulation of litter removal expenses, came as the Highway Department’s maintenance forces neared completion of their annual spring cleanup. Total cost of highway litter cleanup in Rappahannock County last year was $4,075. Rappahannock is located in the Culpeper Highway District for which a total of $151,033 was spent for roadside cleaning. There are eight highway districts in Virginia and the total funds required to do the entire cleanup job stood at $813,559. Broken down this was $203,335 for Interstate Highways; $530,107 for Primary Roads; $80,117 for secondary roads. The cleanup, which got underway late in March, is scheduled to be finished prior to Historic Garden Week, which begins Saturday (April 24). Litter collection operations represent one of the major phases of the spring cleaning, but are a year-long assignment for highway maintenance men. Wray explained that while thel litter operations improve the appearance of the state’s highways, they also help to remove potential safety hazards, since wind-blown trash can cause traffic accidents by distracting motorists. During the cleanup, the maintenance forces already have collected thousands of discarded bottles and cans, and tons of paper and other debris. Wray pointed out that while year-around litter expenses rose $15,000 in reaching $813,500 last year, they had increased by more than $130,000 the year before. This slowdown in the rate of increase, at a time of generally rising costs in most operations, apparently results from wider public consciousness of the problem, he said. “But the collection of litter still costs a very large sum of money every year, these are funds which could be used in a far more lasting way for highway improvements and safety projects,” Wray said. Overall, some 3,000 Highway Department employes using 2,000 trucks, mowers and other pieces of equipment are involved in the statewide spring cleanup. By the time it’s over, they will have worked approximately 120,000 manhours. Aside from collecting litter, Wray said, they also are cleaning signs, sign posts and delineators (the small roadside posts with reflective plates or buttons to help guide motorists). This also is a job of whopping proportions, since there are some 17,000 signs on the interstate system and 225,000 more on the arterial and regular primary system, along with hundreds of thousands of the delineators. General cleanup operations, in addition, include attention to rest areas, waysides and picnic table facilities. Clean and freshly painted barrels for trash disposal will be provided at all picnic areas. Other phases of the spring operations provide for removing advertising signs that have been placed on state right-of-way, and for emphasizing the important safety activity of making roadside shoulders flush with the pavement edge. Planning Comm. Aids Botffd With Reapportioning Under the 1971 Virginia Constitution each county in the state must be redistricted or the population reapportioned to insure the one man-one vote requirement as stipulated by the United States 1965 Voting Rights Act. Present magisterial districts may be retained for territorial and historical purposes but boundaries must be established for election districts to equalize the population of the districts. The full authority and responsibility for reapportionment has been delegated the Board of Supervisors of each county with assistance or recommendations from whatever source might be feasible. In the case of Rappahannock, the already established Planning Commission was asked to study the situation and come forth with recommendations. This com mission is comprised of H. S Barksdale, Flint Hill, chairman; Allen Stokes, Sperryville, vice chairman; Thomas Williams, Flint Hill, David Fannon, Amissville and J. Newbill Miller Washington, chairman of the local Board of Supervisors. Under the new constitution, reapportionment will be mandatory every ten years, and the deadline this year is July 1. The Board of Supervisors are priviledged to expend such funds as necessary for assistance in the reapportioning program, however, an attempt is being made to limit expenses and it is hoped that a local survey or census will not be necessary to determine population boundaries for this could be costly. Rappahannock County’s total population as declared in the 1970 U. S. Census stands at 5,199. The county is presently divided into six magisterial districts with population as follows: Jackson, 1043; Wakefield, 1177; Piedmont, 840; Hampton, 1231; Stonewall, 575; Hawthorne, 333. With the sparse population of both Stonewall and Hawthorne districts which adjoin, a move to combine the two had been considered, even before reapportionment became mandatory. With only five districts a tie vote would not occur. Taking the five district plan Rappahannock’s population would be just over a thousand individuals (1040) per district. Using this method, Jackson is in good shape and Hampton and Piedmont could be by including Gib Brown Hollow in Piedmont instead of in Hampton. This would bring Piedmont up to 1040 and Hampton down to 103 i. The natural geographic boundary of the mountain distinguishes the area l clearly. Wakefield has anj overload which is difficult to change and the combined district is Stonewall-Hawthorne is still low with 980, and these two areas are at opposite geographical extremes. The Planning Commission met Tuesday night and attempted to equalize population areas by taking a section of Wakefield and putting it in Jackson and taking a portion of Jackson and adding it to the combined Stonewall District, Rare Volumes Given County Library Lt. General Daniel Noce has given the Rappahannock Library a rare and important set of books, War of the Rebellion, the official U. S. War Department records, authorized by Congress in 1867, to be distributed on a very limited basis including one set to each state. Two hundred volumes are concerned with land actions of the armies; six volumes are on naval action. This valuable source material will be on display at the Library, May 3, at 8 p.m. when Lt. Gen. Noce will give an interesting and stimulating talk. Subsequently these volumes will be included in the Noce collection, given to the Library several years ago, bearing on the vital subject of the historical development of the tactics of warfare from the era of Genghis Kahn to the present. This special collection of Gen. Noce’s adds a distinguished element to the Rappahannock Library for use by the community, visiting authors and research students. General Noce has not only given several hundred valuable books to date, but has established a fund to maintain the collection, and intends to make further additions as valuable books germane to the subject become available to him. The public is invited to see this rare set of books on display and to hear the rich observations of a vastly experienced man, Rappahannock Library, May 3, 8 p.m. Lt. Gen. Noce’s speech promises to have a special appeal for boys and young men. then with Gid Brown Hollow added to Piedmont this seemingly would bring things into perspective. However, some head counting will be necessary to ascertain the results. Intent to adopt the reapportionment ordinance must be advertised for two weeks by the Board of Supervisors and if the Board determines it necessary a public hearing may be held concerning the ordinances before adoption. Local Beauties To Vie April 30 All young ladies in Rappahannock County between the ages of 4 and 18 are eligible tc appear as contestants in the Beauty Pageant scheduled for Friday evening, April 30 beginning at 8 p.m. in the Rappahannock Elementary School auditorium.

Though these districts will remain for land records and historical data, new lines for election districts must be established. This is required by the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the new Virginia Constitution in order to have equal representation in county government. The election district lines will equalize the population by putting approximately the same number of people in each district. See story above.

All over the country i people will be striving to clean-up i this giant garbage can that we’ve 3 made of our earth. * It's no wonder that people don’t ■ walk as much as they used to - who * wants to walk in trash knee-high? This is the week that we all * should make an extra effort to : keep things beautiful. We should i band together in a giant crusade, j in our own community, to keep 3 Rappahannock as the county with 3 undying beauty. People want to i visit Rappahannock - and it’s no 5 wonder. Let’s not let them be 3 disappointed “Keep Rappahannock Clean.” i Our community has been i provided with several dump 3 areas. Don’t you think the trash j would look better inside the S dumpsters? Trash breeds rats, rats breed disease, disease breeds death, and you’re Dead! People have to take a greater interest in the things around them. Wake up, people. What’s the matter? Don’t you care? Is Rappahannock doomed to become a deserted rural community? Definitely not! This is the cause for both old and young alike to unite and keep Rappahannock County out of the gutter.

NEW BOOKS Time and Again, by Jack Finney - Einstein’s theory of time was that we are like people in a boat drifting along a winding river. We see the present, but the past and the future are hidden around the curves. Still, they are there. How would it be if one could step out of the boat and walk back around the bend to the Past? That is what Si Morley does in Time and Again. Chosen, after exhaustive screening, by a top-secret government agency, he is transported back to the New York of the 1880’s - presumably only to test the theory and to act as an intelligent observer. Armed with his sketchbook and camera, he wanders over by the reservoir at the corner of 42nd and 5th, walks the length of the Ladies’ Mile - hears the sleighs with their jingling bells in Central Park - and meets Julia, a very lovely lady. But there are others less lovely - blackmailers, politicians, corrupt policemen - and a horrendous fire in which he and Julia are caught. Then comes the moment when Si realizes that the agency is not content to have him remain simply an observer More is wanted of him... Time and Again is a novel that will remain long in the reader’s memory - a remarkable amalgam of the troubled present and the nostalgic past - made vivid and exM^Ofdinarily moving by the charming sketches and photos of a time that was - and perhaps still is... The Devil’s Lieutenant, by M. Fagyas - “...an unusually fine noval, skillfully and subtly written, with an obvious intelligence, conveying the corruption and scandal rampant in the officers’ corps of the AustroHungarian Army, as well as the brilliant atmosphere of 1909 Vienna.” Library Hours: Wednesday and Friday, 1 to 5 p.m.; Saturday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Horse Show Set A horse show featuring both English and Western classes and sponsored by the Amissville Ruritan club will be held at the Amissville carnival grounds on Saturday, May 8 beginning at 9 a m.

Now the cattle pens have been prodded empty of their last steer. Tlie “Stormy, husky, brawling City of the big shoulders ’’--another of Carl Sandburg’s nicknames for Chicago-has shoved shut the gate at its famous stock yards. After 105 years of turning out enough sides of beef, hams, and legs of lamb and mutton to feed the American nation of meateaters, the stock yards have given way to demands for more efficiency, the National Geographic Society says. Ten ydars ago, with the slaughtering of the last hog, the four biggest meat packers moved away from the stock yards. More than 1,000 smaller packing plants had sprung up around the country and ranchers and farmers increasingly preferred shipping their animals to them thus avoiding the long trip to Chicago. 13,000 Empty Pens The stock yards’ 13,000 empty livestock pens standing on about 350 acres will be replaced by a $3.8 million city-sponsored industrial park that hopefully will bring in 7,000 jobs, replacing those lost by the decline of the yards. It was once “the busiest square mile on earth” to the proud Chicagoan. In 1919 the stock yards and the packing houses they supplied with an endless river of hogs, cattle, and sheep accounted for 17 percent of the nation’s commercial livestock slaughter. “When I came here,” reminisced one stock yard veteraq, “we used to unload somewhere around 4,000 hogs from a 50-car train and do it every 30 minutes, pushing ‘era into pens assigned to a shipping farmer without losing a single hog.” In the peak year of 1924, the yards housed, fed, and watered 18,653,539 animals. On September 7, 1954, a hereford steer suitably named “Billy the Billionth” was saluted then slaughtered as the billionth animal through the stock yards. Provisioning the Garrison The first livestock were slaughtered in 1824 along the shore of Lake Michigan for Fort Dearborn soldiers. Eight years later the meat packing business began with cattle and hogs killed and packed on the prairie at the village edge, then shipped East via the Great Lakes.

Virginia Population Increase Projected RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, MARCH 26, 1971 - The population of Virginia has been projected to reach 5.4 million by 1980, 7.2 million by 2000, and 9.4 million by the year 2020. These projection figures compare to a 1960 population of approximately 4 million and a 1970 population figure of 4.6 million. The average annual population growth rate over the fifty year period from 1970 to 2020 would be 1.4 percent, compared to a 1.6 percent annual growth rate experienced during the 1960 to 1970 period. These projections for the state as well as projection figures for each of Virginia’s counties, cities, and planning districts are contained in a report (Statistical Information Series No. 71-1) just released by the Office of Research and Information of the Division of State Planning and Community Affairs. Besides the long range projections for the state, and counties, cities, and planning districts, the report shows population figures for 1960 and 1970 and average annual change rates for each ten year period to 2020. Statistical Information Series 71-1 is an outgrowth of the Economic Base Analysis and Can Us For Shengas Corp. PHONE 635-3556 Front Royal, Fa. Projections Program of the Office Df Research and Information which involves the preparation of a detailed economic base study with projections to 1980 of population and major economic variables for every economic area of Virginia. The current report represents an update of Statistical Series 70-2 issued in April, 1970 and reflects information included in the 1970 Census of Population and Housing. The long range projections for 2000 and 2020 use the 1980 projections derived from the Economic Base Studies and Projections Program as a base and consider several additional factors. Factors considered in making the long range projections are the present and historical general economic condition of each area, land use and settlement patterns, planned high way, air ana rail iacnuies, industrial development, existing and planned recreational facilities, population densities, natural increase and migration levels, and national growth and development patterns. This report and other economic and population studies are available upon request at no charge from the Office of Research and Information of the Division of State Planning and Community Affairs.

More Virginians Pledge Eyes Virginians are signing up as eye donors at a rate more than twice that of any previous year. Figures supporting that statement were released today by L. Paul Byrd, Chairman of the Board of Old Dominion Eye Bank, co-ordinating agency for eye donation in eastern Virginia. Since the start of the eye bank’s fiscal year last July 1, 5244 new eye donor pledges have been received by the Richmond organization - bringing the total pledges on file to over 40,000. In the nine months of the current fiscal year, almost twice as many pledges have been made by Virginians than in any of the previous thirteen years of the eye bank’s history. Major credit for the great surge in pledges goes to the members of the Virginia Lions Clubs which sponsor and support the eye bank. This year, the eye bank made a special appeal to the Lions Clubs to help meet the growing demand for human eye tissue by extra effort in eye donor solicitation. Virginia Lions answered that plea in dramatic fashion. The supply of human eye tissue is not nearly sufficient to fill current needs. Sight-restoring corneal transplant operations have established a very satisfactory record of success, thus increasing demand for human eye tissue through eye donor pledges. Pledge cards and literature are available from any member of a Lions Club or from Old Dominion Eye Bank, Richmond Eye Hospital, Richmond, Va. Rep. Robinson Named to Rural Land Use Comm. Rep. J. Kenneth Robinson has been named to the House of Representatives Republican Task Force on Rural Development and Land Use. The appointment was announced recently by Congressman Barber B. Conable, Jr., Chairman of the House Republican Research Committee and by House Minority Leader Gerald Ford. The purpose of the Task Force will be to take a long-range look at rural needs and development, going beyond statistics and studies and considering the actual areas and communities themselves. In its study of rural development and land ■ use, the Task Force will evaluate processes which succeed or fail and will determine the most advantageous methods for filling small community needs. The 7th District Congressman joins 15 other House Republicans also named to the Rural Development Force which is one of several such groups organized to serve Republican House members by providing research services and organized studies aimed at specific areas in the U. S. A division of the House Republican Committee, the force has been called an "untapped source of ideas and a basis for comparative approaches.” Va. Traffic Deaths Continue Downward The first three months of the year saw Virginia’s traffic deaths dip 18 below those for the same period of 1970 to continue the downward trend established that year, Colonel H. W. Burgess, Superintendent of State Police, reported today. Deaths for the first quarter numbered 258 to compare favorably with the 276 for the first three months' of 1970, with pedestrian deaths down from 60 to 44. Deaths for all of 1970 dropped to 1,231 from the 1,304 of 1969 despite a rise of 5.4 percent in traffic volumes. Colonel Burgess noted that good reductions were obtained in February (103-86) and March (8980) but that January saw an increase (84-92). “The united and increased efforts and cooperation of citizens, officials, groups and state agencies are paying off,” he said, “and give us every hope of a second consecutive year of death reduction.” Concluding, he explained that a Slight upward revision in 1971 deaths might be expected due to late reports and deaths of persons now carried as injured. Need Cost-Sharing Completion Dates Farmers who are doing conservation cost-sharing work under the Rural Environmental Assistance Program (REAP) have been reminded that it is important to observe the completion date set when the practice was approved. “When a farmer receives approval from the County ASC Committee for conservation or pollution-abatement work on his farm, we set aside part of our fund allocation to share the cost of the work,’’ said H. S. Barksdale, Chairman of the Rappahannock County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation (ASC) Committee.

Your SOUTHERN STATES COOPERATIVE AGENCY appraisal of the time likely to be needed to get the work done. It is most important for a farmer to observe this reporting date. Many agricultural conservation and pollution-abatement practices are needed and requested by farmers in Rappahannock County. We do not have enough funds to share costs with all who apply. When a farmer fails to report he has completed his REAP practices, we are left qp in the air-not knowing whether to re allocate the funds for another needed practice by another farmer. The farmer who makes a timely report of completion has assurance of cost-sharing on his practice. Also, we can re-use program funds if a cost-sharing practice costs less than originally approved for or if a farmer is unable to or decides not to carry out his REAP practice. The ASC Committee Chairman said a farmer who is unable to complete his conservation cost2*' sharing work before the com-,pletion reporting date should-' request a time extension from thd',‘ County ASC Committee, stating"'^ the reasons he has not been able to** complete the work. Requests for time extensions for REAP*' practices should be made as soort^ as the farmer knows he will not be' able to complete the work in time, and, in any case, before the date has arrived for reporting com-' pletion.

In the second verse she states that its the set of the soul that decides its goal, and not the calm or the strife’. Thers are several types of wind, the winds that blow from different points of the compass. Good and bad winds for the sailor, soft winds that cool on a hot day. It is indeed an evil wind that blows no good. I dreamed last night that I was attending a wedding reception at the home of the groom. While we were waiting for the wedding party to arrive, someone made a remark about the fierce wind that was blowing. Another said that the groom had come into that area and bought some property, chose a site in the lee of a large rock to build his home that would protect it from the prevailing wind. He didn’t investigate the possibility of the wind being constant. It so happened that the wind shifted with the seasons and at that time, it was blowing against an unprotected house. The groom, thinking his house was safe, didn’t build it as sturdy as he should. This friend told us that the wind was so strong at times, that it would even blow some parts off the house. When I awoke (awakened?) I < wondered what this dream could mean to me. I thought of the Bible story of the man who built his □□□□□□ HEU> YOU .

I again thought of God’s promise to one of the old Bible heroes; “I will hide you in the cleft of a rock.” Maybe the winds of adversity are blowing against our church, and it is unprotected by the Rock of the Ages. Are you a part that has blown away, because you were not really nailed down by a firm conviction that you were important to the church. One shingle at a time, blowing away, will soon ruin a whole building. Some of you are more than shingles, you are the very foundations, don’t let the old church down.

Social Security Notes “That fact that some workers! who are severely disabled but are expected to recover and return to work is one of the chief reasons for a misunderstanding of the disability law under Social Security,” said Mrs. Hazel F. Crumpton, District Manager of the social security office in Winchester. It is not uncommon for a disabled person to approach the interviewer in a social security office with the remark, “I just came in to find out about disability, I don’t want to register a claim.” This same person usually ends up filing a claim for disability benefits for himself or herself and family. And sometimes the monthly family payment is as much as $434.40. “The filing of the claim is advised when the disability is expected to last at least a year,” says Mrs. Crumpton. To get disability benefits, a worker 31 or older must be fully insured and must have credit for five years of work in the 10 year period ending when he becomes disabled. If a worker becomes disabled before age 31, less work under the social security program is required. Social Security Administration also pays benefits to persons who have been continuously disabled since before reaching age 18, if their parent is insured under social security, dies or becomes entitled to retirement or disability benefits. Disabled widows and widowers 50 or older may be paid if the disability began not later than seven years after the death of the insured spouse or the end of a widow’s entitlement to benefits as a mother caring for her children. Even though there is a six month waiting period before benefits can begin in the case of disabled workers and severely disabled widows and widowers, it is not necessary to delay making application. If you believe you fit into any of the categories mentioned or know of a friend that may qualify, please phone 667-1511, and an application may be taken over the phone suggests Mrs. Crumpton.

Nat. Safety Council Decrease in Deaths Chicago March 1 -- The National Safety Council reports that approximately 113,000 Americans died as a result of accidents in 1970, a decrease of two per cent from 1969. Disabling injuries totaled approximately 10,800,000 including 400,000 that resulted in some form of permanent impairment. The cost of accidents in 1970 was approximately $26 billion. Traffic fatalities in 1970 numbered 1,100 fewer than in 1969, according to the Council. The 55,300 total for 1970 represents a two per cent reduction from the 1969 toll of 56,400. In addition, the mileage death rate per 100 million vehicle miles traveled dropped from 5.3 in 1969 to 5.0 in 1970 - the lowest rate in history. This reduction occurred despite the fact that there were three million more licensed drivers and four million more motor vehicles on the road in 1970 than in 1989. Deaths from public accidents are also on the decline. Public deaths decreased five per cent from 21,000 in 1969 to 20,000 in 1970. The decrease of 1,000 deaths can be attributed to fewer fire and burn fatalities, as well as fewer deaths due to falls and aviation accidents. This was the first fatality-free year in commercial air transportation. No passengers or crew members died on scheduled domestic air transport flights. Preliminary figures indicate that snowmobile fatalities increased in 1970, however. | The 1970 death total for work accidents was unchanged from the 14,200 reported by the Council in 1969. Disabling injuries totaled 2,200,000. The cost of work accidents in 1970 was $9 billion. In addition to the 14,200 persons killed at work, 42,200 died in offthe-job accidents. Since the Council was organized in 1912, the greatest progress in accident prevention has been <#> HEADQUARTERS for Orchard Chemicals We maintain complete Inventories and will deliver to your farm.
