VA. STATE LIBRARY RICHMOND 19, VA. 23219 C The Rappahannock Zoning Board of Appeals convened Friday to act on application by Potomac Edison Company for a transmission line through Rappahannock County. This issue is warmly contested by a group of Rappahannock landowners, so the hearing did not advance rapidly nor far. Challenging the right of discovery, the fact that enough and proper information had not been forthcoming from the utility company, a citizens group Mr. and Mrs. Carrigan Invite Citizens To Share in Fourth of July Celebration i i > Mr. and Mrs. William M. Carrigan extend a cordial invitation to the people of Rappahannock to share with them an evening of celebration on Independence Day, July 4th, 1971 at Avon Hall, Washington, Virginia.

This evening program will be a fitting conclusion to the excellent program prepared by and for the Rappahannock Library during the afternoon. Plan to spend the day - church in the morning - lunch and program at the Library in the afternoon - supper or snacks, hot dogs, hamburgers and cold drinks at the Monument (near the Court House) - then find a good spot on the hills near the Court House overlooking the Lake (best location) for the evening music and fireworks.

Social Security Benefits Here Go Over $71,000 Each Month Social security benefits were being paid to residents of Rappahannock County at a rate of $71,000 a month at the close of 1970, Mrs. Hazel F. Crumpton, social security district manager in Winchester, said today. A benefit increase signed into law by President Nixon on March 17 raised the monthly rate of payment by 10 percent for most of the 921 social security beneficiaries, in Rappahannock County, she added. A small number of beneficiaries over age 72 who are not receiving regular sodaFsecurity cash benefits got a 5 percent increase. The increased benefit amounts were made effective back to January 1, 1971. First checks in the new monthly rate went out to beneficiaries on June 3, Mrs. Crumpton said. Separate checks representing the amount of the inciease for the months of January through April were mailed in late June. Of the social security beneficiaries living in Rappahannock County, 574 are retired workers and their dependents. Another 217 are receiving benefits as the survivors of workers who have died, and 102 are getting benefits as disabled workers or their dependents. Mrs. Crumpton pointed out that although most social security beneficiaries are older people, about one out of every four is under age 60. In Virginia, 144,370 people under age 60 are collecting social security payments each month. Nearly 77,531 are under age 18, receiving payments because a working father or mother has died or is getting social security disability or retirement benefits. Most of the (Continued on Page 2) Zoning Board Recesses Power Company Hearing Until Sept. 9th The Rappahannock County Zoning Appeals Board convened Friday to act on an application rrom Potomac Edison Company of Virginia for a transmission line through this county. After limited discussion the Board recesses to continue the hearing September 9. Introduction of the application was handled for the utility company by J. Sloan Kuykendall, attorney of Winchester, whose presentation was halted by inlerjections from V. John Lyle, one )f more than a hundred citizens present and opposing the line’s erection, and John Dwyer of Washington, D. C. and landowner here, acting as citizen’s counsel. Lyle stated that the utility company had not complied with a lawful order of discovery but had submitted “only what they wanted us to know” and therefore were substituting their judgement for that of the Zoning Board. He continued saying that no cost studies had been shown and no appraisal on property had been reported. George H. Davis jr., Commonwealth’s Attorney for the county who was acting in a legal capacity for a local citizen’s group, said the hearing was a serious and fundamental proceeding for the enforcement of the zoning ordinances. He said the public has a right to know what use will be made of the new supply of electric power and whether or not the public welfare will) be enhanced. This is a case of the right of the landowner versus industry or whatever, he said, and the Zoning Board could not make a proper decision without more information The order of discovery should disclose all studies conducted by Potomac Edison relating to load projection in the area, all transmission and distribution studies, all projected power distribution studies; all studies related to alternate means of power distribution; environmental impact studies relating to area; mechanical and electrical studies with respect to proposed lines in area; proposed appraisal and property reports relative to this county; list of witnesses and qualifications, correspondence Postal Service Day Scheduled July 1st July 1st has been designated Postal Service Day to commemorate the official inauguration of the United States Postal Service; to bring the general public in closer contact with this service and to realize how to help the Postal Service better serve the community and individuals. To help make Postal Service I Day a special and unusual event, those visiting their post office will receive a free souvenir envelope decorated with the new Postal Service seal and a Postal Service booklet on request. A new 8 cent stamp bearing the postal emblem will be issued July 1 in every post office across the nation. Two Motorcycle Crashes in Area; Other Wrecks Reported Two cars collided last Thursday on Route 211 a mile west of Amissville when one driver made a left turn across the path of an approaching vehicle. However, no injuries resulted and property damage was minor. According to Trooper W. A. Buntin, Richard Mason Carter of Hume operating a 62 Rambler station wagon turned in front of Virginia Lee Schwartz of Laurel, Md. in a 67 Dodge station wagon. The Schwartz vehicle rammed the Carter station wagon.. in the side. Carter was charged with failing to yield the right of way and damage was estimated at $400 to Carter and $500 to Schwartz.

Allen to assist in gathering a few historical displays and live programs to be presented in connection with the evening program at Avon Hall.

A special demonstration with old fire fighting equipment will be done by the lake. More on this will be announced next week. Amiss ville Leads Slow-Pitch League Amissville continues in the top spot of the Tri-County Slow Pitch oall league with a 6 win tally. Viewtown is running second with four wins and two losses and Charted Industries fall in third with 3 and 3. Village has a 3-4 record and Lane-Penncarva is in the cellar with 7 losses. Historians Have Wide Choice for Real Independence Day “When in the Course of human events” Americans celebrate the Fourth of July, they’ve never been at a loss for words. - \ But they may be talking about the wrong date. Independence Day officially is observed July 4, or the following day if it falls on Sunday. It might almost be June 7, July 2, July 8, August 2, November 30, or December 5. These and other possible dates lay historical claims to the Nation’s birthday, the National Geographic Society says. June 7, 1776, the voice of liberty was first formally heard by the elected representatives of the Continental Congress meeting in Philadelphia. Richard Henry Lee of Virginia put the case: “Resolved, That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States .. False Prediction On July 2, the Congress voted approval of the Declaration of Independence Thomas Jefferson had been asked to draw up, and John Adams glowingly wrote his wife in Massachusetts: “The second day of July 1776, will be the most memorable Epocha in the History of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. “It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parades, with shews, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other from this time forward forevermore.” On July 4 John Hancock, president of the Congress, signed the authorized version, copies were made and sent to the colonies. On July 8 the Declaration was first read aloud to the citizenry, a crowd gathered before ithe State House in Philadelphia. Agreeably Assenting On July 9, General George Washington, with his troops in New York, wrote Congress: “Agreeably to the request of Congress I caused the Declaration o be proclaimed before all the irmy under my immediate :ommand... the measure seemed Iff I hadn’t been nagged into getting a checkup, I’d be kicking up daisies. The toughest fight I ever had didn’t happen on any big, wide screen. It happened in real ife. I was just finishing my 99th picture. My 99th ridin’, jumpin’, fightin' picture. Never felt better in my life. I told the family when I’m through here, I’m going out on my boat. Sure, they said, just as soon as you’ve had your medical checkup. I said nonsense, I had one eight months ago. They said it was more like eighteen. So I said okay, okay, and then the X-rays showed a spot on my lungs. It was cancer. If I'd waited a few more weeks, I’d be dead. The first couple of months after surgery, it hurt like hell to get on my horse. Since then I’ve been good as new. If you caught "True Grit" or "Chisum" you’ve seen for yourself. So, friend, I know what I'm talking about when I tell you, get a checkup.-Talk ' someone you like into getting a checkup. Nag someone you love into getting a checkup. And when the lady from the American Cancer Society rings your doorbell, dig deep in your pocket. They’re working to rid this worlp of cancer forever. American Cancer Society, We want to wipe out cancer in your lifetime' His troops assented by pulling down and beheading a statue of King. George III, then melting it dwn&pito 42,068 lead bullets. August 2, another copy of the Declaration of Independence - the one preserved in the National Archives - was finally signed by all but a few members, or all those present, of the Continent!! Congress. By 1782, after the Redcoats’ surrender at Yorktown, American envoy Benjamin Franklin in Paris filed a report with familiar ring today. Franklin wrote that the British were “willing to concede almost anything to get home the 30,000 troops who were doing nothing in America at enormous expense. But there were endless complications and delays.” But on November 30 that year, Franklin, John Jay, John Adams, and the King’s man signed a preliminary peace treaty in Paris. Five days later, on December 5, 1782, King George III announced to Parliament that peace had been proclaimed with the American colonies, adding “I declare them free and independent states.” Rev. Layman Leave* The Rev. W. A. Layman, who has served as pastor of the Little Fork Methodist Charge which includes the Amissville United Methodist Church, has been assigned to a church in Tappahannock and with his family leaves today. Rev. Douglas Kanney of Charlottesville will assume the Methodist pastorate in Amissville in September. Until that time supply ministers will serve the charge. Rev. Kanney and his wife, Penny, will move into the parsonage at Jeffersonton in the fall. Bake Sale Benefits Rappahannock County The Bake Sale at the Library, Sunday, July 4, is under the chairmanship of Mrs. Robert Anderson and Mrs. Quenton McCoy.

Library Lines 4TH OF JULY The celebration sponsored by the Library for the 4th promises to be an exceptionally good one - lots to eat and see and do. So do plan to spend your holiday in your home county, at your own library. BOOKS The Bell Jar, by Sylvia Plath - This extraordinary work chronicles the crackup of Esther Greenwood: brilliant, beautiful, enormously talented, successful - slowly going under, and maybe for the last time. Step by careful step, Sylvia Plath takes us with Esther through a painful month in New York as a contest-winning junior editor on a magazine, her increasingly strained relationships with her mother and the boy she dated in college, and eventually, devastatingly, into the madness itself. 'Hie reader is drawn into her breakdown with such intensity that her insanity becomes completely real and even rational. Such deep penetration into the dark and harrowing corners of the psyche is rare inany novel. Thomas Wolfe, by Andrew Turnbull - The story of Thomas Wolfe, ranging from Asheville, North Carolina, to Berlin, Germany, contains a large cast of characters. Among the men and women close to him - his family, his teachers, other writers - two people hold crucial places in Thomas Wolfe. One is Aline Bernstein, the gifted stage designer who gave him understanding and devotion in their intense, agonizing love affair The other is Maxwell Perkins, to whom Wolfe became a son as well as the most fascinating and exhausting problem of his editorial career. Andrew Turn|bllU'3 biography, filled with stories of Wolfe’s outrageous and often comic behavior, closes with a precise, moving account of the illness at Seattle and the death at Johns Hopkins which is a superlative piece of biographical writing. LIBRARY HOURS: Wednesday and Friday, 1:00 to 5:00 p.m.; Saturday, 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Given Scholarship Miss Lee Lawrence, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert Lawrence of Amissville, received a Nursing Scholarship given by the Culpeper Jayceettes this year.

Amiss vile Peewees Chalk up Two Wins The Pee Wee ball team sponsored by the Amissville Run tan Club has chalked up two wins since last week.

Also in this 18-22 age group, Mrs. Crumpton said, are some other types of beneficiaries, illustrating the broad family protection that the social security program provides workers of all ages. A number are children of retired, disabled, or deceased workers who became disabled before they reached 18 and who will probably never be able to work and become self-supporting. The monthly benefits of these young people, severely handicapped by physical or mental disabilities, will continue indefinitely. Benefits are also payable to their mothers if the disabled son or daughter is in the mother’s care. Mrs. Crumpton said that another relatively small but significant group of youthful social security beneficiaries are those who are receiving benefits as disabled workers. Social security disability payments can be paid to a person who becomes disabled for work even if he has less than 5 years of work under social security. As little as \Vt years of work is required in the case of a worker who becomes disabled before age 24, she said. In closing, Mrs. Crumpton reminded all Rappahannock county residents that they may call the Winchester office to file a claim. The claim will be sent to the caller for signature thus saving a trip to the office. The telephone number is 667-1511. Drive Carefully Over The - Weekend Traffic Crashes(Continued from Page 1) Monday afternoon on Route 211 a mile and eight tenths east of Amissville at the intersection of Route 621. Frazier was taken to Fauquier Hospital, Warrenton by Amissville Rescue Squad with ■lacerations of the scalp, a fractured right leg and fractured left arm. Frazier was crossing the highway at that intersection when he was struck by Robert Wayne Ritchie of Linville, Va. operating a 65 Chevelle, according to a report filed by Trooper W. C. Echard of Culpeper. At 7 p.m. Tuesday night, two vehicles collided at Chester Gap on Route 610. A 1967 Ford pickup owned by Crowell Brothers Construction Co. of Lynchburg operated by William Ronald Deal of Sperryville and a 1962 Falcon operated by Irvin Melton Williams of Chester Gap were involved. According to investigating officer Trooper J. B. Willis, The Falcon was parked discharging a passenger when the truck backed up the road and struck it. Both drivers were charged; one with improper parking and the other with improper backing. The dollars you give to the American Cancer Society will help wipe out cancer in your lifetime. Rapp-Chats By Rap Owings. Ext. Agent From the nation wide monitoring system for the Southern Corn Leaf Blight tSCLB) comes this report: VIRGINIA - Only one positive report of SCLB. This sample was received from Nelson County on volunteer corn in a field planted to a susceptable strain last year. Southern corn producing states, where in some areas the corn has already taseled, current blight development is far behind that of a comparable period last year. Corn Belt - In the majority of counties reporting blight, infection is confined to volunteer seedlings. In those few instances where blight has been identified on corn planted this spring, plant pathologists indicate infection was probably caused by spores from local debris or as a result of onfarm shelling operations. In Illinois it appears the blight is spreading from volunteer plants to fields. Thus far the blight has been found only on corn planted with Trcytoplasm or blend seed and has not been found in significant amount in fields planted to resistant seed. To date I have not found any evidence of blight in Rappahannock. If you suspect any in your field, please give me a call. • • Picture Framing ...Artist Supplies Have your favorite print framed or give a ‘framed picture for a Christmas gift.

Watermelon Low in Calories, Refreshing (Editor's note: This is one of a series on home horticulture by Wesley P. Judkins, Virginia Tech extension horticulturist.) A slice of ice cold watermelon is an ideal refresher on a hot day. This delicious treat not only quenches your thirst, but it contains just enough calories to give a slight pick-up in energy without contributing to your weight control problem. Watermelons belong to the gourd family along with cucumbers, muskmelons, pumpkin and squash. The hairy, trailing stems may grow to a length of twelve or fifteen feet. The watermelon is native to Veneral Disease Cases Increase Last year 16,702 cases of venereal disease were reported in Virginia. During the same period, every county except one, and all independent cities in the State, reported cases of venereal disease. Citing relationships between reported cases of venereal disease, race and degree of urbanization, the current issue of the State Health Department’s Virginia Health Bulletin reports concentration of the disease in the eastern third of the State. The large urban areas surrounding Washington, D. C., Richmond and the Tidewater communities of Hampton, Newport News, Portsmouth and Norfolk contain 35 percent of the State’s population, 40 percent of it’s nonwhite population, and reports 66 percent of Virginia’s venereal disease cases. The U. S. Center for Disease Control in Atlanta reports more than 573,000 cases of gonorrhea reported in the United States during the fiscal year of 1970. But CDC officials say the reported cases are Only about a tenth of the actual number. They estimate 1.8 million cases of gonorrhea for fiscal 1970 and say the number could be well over 2 million this year. During the same period 20,186 cases of primary and secondary syphilis were reported to the U. S. Public Health Service. But the actual incidence of infesctious syphilis last year in the U. S. was estimated to be 70,000 to 80,000 cases. In Virginia’s VD control program, priority is given in infectious syphilis. All reported cases and their contacts are confidentially interviewed and examined. Preventive treatment is given to those who may be incubating the disease. Forty-four percent of last year’s infectious cases were brought to treatment by this “searching out” method. Virginia law requires all laboratories performing blood tests for syphilis to report reactive tests to the State Health Department. Out of a million bloods tested last year, 17,000 reactive tests were reported. Eighteen percent of the infectious syphilis cases and 83 percent in other stages of development were treated last year as a result of this activity.

It also means the hunter gets a complete new set of big game tags for bear, deer and turkeys. The need for fishing licenses arises first - except for varmint hunters who also need new hunting license. A state fishing license costs $3.50 and a county permit, $2. The trout angler needs a special one and with its purchase he contributes $1 toward the cost of raising and stocking thousands tropical North Africa where it has been grown since prehistoric times. Pictures on pottery and in tombs indicate that this crop was common in ancient Egypt. watermelons nave been cultivated in countries around the Mediterranean, and as far east as India, for several thousand years. They are an important source of water for human consumption in many semi-arid regions. The early colonists brought seeds of watermelon with them when they first came to America. This vegetable is now one of the most important crops in the United States. Although watermelons are considered as a vegetable crop, the edible product is actually a fruit. To be quite specific, it is a very large berry because the flesh is entirely soft like a grape, tomato or eggplant. Ice box watermelons are the best type for the home garden. The mature fruits weigh from six to eight pounds, and mature in about 80 days. The vines are less vigorous than the standard types and are easier to control. Some of the best ice box melons are Petite Sweet, Sugar Baby, and Mardela. These are not only fine for the home vegetable garden, they are also becoming popular for commercial production to supply watermelons of convenient size for the market. , If you plant watermelons be sure to select varieties which are resistant to anthracnose and fusarium wilt diseases. If these diseases are not controlled, you may lose your entire crop. Seedless watermelons are a unique and interesting development. They were produced first in Japan, but several good varieties are now available in this country. The seeds for the original seedless types were very expensive and germinated rather poorly. Some of the newer seedless hybrids are less costly and germinate much better. The quality has been improved and these may become quite important for home garden or commercial production. A serious problem in growing watermelons is determining when they are mature. Changes in size and color do not indicate ripeness. They are usually ready to harvest when the spot where they contact the ground changes from white to pale yellow. At maturity the tendrils become dry and brown, and the melon has a dull tone when thumped. Watermelons are used primarily as a dessert food, in a fresh, chilled condition. They are not an important source of nutrients, but do supply useful amounts of vitamin A. As the name suggests, watermelons contain a high percentage of water. Actually their 92 percent is less than several other vegetables such as asparagus with 93, celery 94, lettuce 95 and cucumber 96. of hatchery trout in Old Dominion waters. The only other fishing cost is a $1 National Forest stamp which gains the angler access to waters in the George Washington and Jefferson National Forests All persons between the ages of 16 and 70 need fishing license, and all fishermen, regardless of age, are required to have the National Forest stamp i 1 The hunter’s license needs are a bit more complicated. There is no minimum age limit, and those over 70 years old also need a hunting license except for hunting in their home counties. The state and county license fees are the same as those required of the angler. A big game license is needed for bear, deer and turkey. It costs $2 and is good statewide There are no county big game license. The $1 National Forest stamp is ilso good for hunting, but the lunter also needs another special license to hunt the state forests, rhis one costs $1 also. Cobia or Black Bonito Cobia, sometimes referred to as black bonito in Virginia, are one of the most popular fish of the summer season in the briny waters of the Old Dominion. July and August are top months for the big fish. A 102-pounder taken off the tip of Cape Charles a number of years ago still holds the world record for this wide-mouthed, stubborn fighter. The cobia is a slugger by nature, but the fish can, and often does, leap when hooked. My own introduction to cobia fishing came near Windmill Point in the western waters of the Chesapeake Bay a number of years ago. The big fish, a 55-pound behemoth that earned me a citation in the Virginia Salt Water Fishing Tournament, took a live eel. I had my hands full for what seemed like hours. Max Ailor and I were fishing a chum slick from an anchored boat, and before the day was up we landed five of the sleek bodied fish that could pass for giant catfish if they had whiskers. The fish can also be taken bj trolling artificial lures arounc buoys and in the civinity of big schools of stingrays. The fish seek the shade offered by the buoys and schools of stingrays as they rest near the surface. Casual Casts One of the first official acts of Secretary of the Interior Roger C. B. Morton was the formation of a study group to investigate the use of snowmobiles, dune buggies, motorbikes and other types of offroad recreational vehicles . . . The comeback of the wild turkey in the Old Dominion is a credit to modern game management methods. The story is told in the Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries’ new film called “Return of the Wild Turkey.” . . . Summer is an excellent time for adult hunters to set up classes on firearms handling and safety. Many of the hunting accidents in Virginia during 1970 involved young, inexperienced hunters.

Census Shows Home Ownership in Rappahannock CotiSftty at High Level Compared withs some sections of the country, home ownership in Rappahannock County is at a high level. According to the latest official figures, the proportion of local families that own the houses in which they live is relatively large. The findings are based upon an analysis of reports released by the Department of Commerce, based ;upon data gathered during the recent Census of Housing. It shows that no less than 54.4 percent of all dwelling units in Rappahannock County are now owned by their occupants. Most of the upward trend in home ownership took place in the eight years or so prior to 1968, when there was little unemployment, when incomes were moving higher and when the availability of mortgage money at favorable rates made it possible for many families to attain their goal - a home of their own. The figures for the local area show a total of 1.941 year-round News In and Around WoodviUe Mrs. June Clark, Correspondent Mr. and Mrs. Emory Conners were dinner guests Saturday of Major and Mrs. Charles Grizzle and son Jeff in Fredericksburg.

Gill & Graham Implement Co Phone 825-8381 Culpeper Shopping Center Culpeper, Virginia Social Security Notes The basic monthly premium for medical • insurance under Medicare will increase from $5.30 to $5.60 beginning July 1, according to Mrs. Hazel F. Crumpton, social security district manager in Winchester. The 30-cent increase, payable by people 65 and over who have the medical insurance part of Medicare, will cover increasing medical costs and greater use of medical services, she said. Medical insurance helps pay doctor bills for about 95 percednt of the people 65 or over in the Nation, according to Mrs. Crumpton. The program is financed by monthly premiums that are matched by the Federal Government. Most people 65 and over also have Medicare hospital insurance, which is financed by payroll contributions of workers and dwelling units, of which 1,057 are owner-occupied. Nationally, the number of home owners rose 7.1 million in the 10year period, going from 32.8 million to 39.9 million, the Department of Commerce l\ reports. However, because of the increase in population during those years, the percentage of families in the United States who were living in their own homes was only slightly higher in 1970 than it was in 1960. Although there has been much trading up in recent years, with people selling their homes to buy bigger and better ones, there has also been much money spent on improving the older dwellings through extensions, alterations and repairs. ( During the past year alone, owners spent $14.8 billion on such upkeep and improvement, the government’s figures show. Because of inflation and the decline in housing construction in recent years, home values have been zooming in most areas. ‘In Rappahannock County, on the basis of the median price asked for local homes, $10,800, the total value of owner-occupied property comes to approximately $11,416,000, far above what it was in 1960, when the median value was only $5,500.

Early Certification Benefits Producers Producers have to certify their compliance under the 1971 setaside farm programs. Deadline for certification in Rappahannock County is June 30, according to H. S. Barksdale, Chairman of the County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation (ASC) Committee. In most cases, it will be to a producer’s advantage to certify his program acres as early as possible, he said. However, he emphasized that early certification is optional, and that a producer may certify at any time through June 30. A producer must Complete his certification before he can receive any set-aside payment. To certify, a producer signs a statement at the County ASCS umce snowing tne acreages devoted to various crops under the 1971 farm programs. At the same time, he designates the amount and location of his set-aside acres. The Rappahannock County ASCS Office is ready to give farmers all possible help in correctly certifying their acres. County Executive Director, James W. Coates and his staff will be glad to answer any questions or help with problems. Producers who certify in time for data to be processed will get checks for their preliminary setaside program payments as soon after July 1 as possible. The ASC Committee Chairman pointed out that the preliminary feed grain payments could be complete, as additional payments depend on changes in market condictions. Such changes are not foreseen, he said. Payments in corn are set at 32 cents per bushel, and the grain isorghum rate is 29 cents a bushel. Feed grain payments are made on established farm yield times onehalf the feed grain base. The preliminary wheat payment has not yet been announced but will be 75 percent of the estimated final value of domestic certificates. Producers receive photocopies of aerial photography of their farms to help them certify. The photocopies show boundaries of farms and most up-to-date field acreage information. They are valuable for planning farm operations as well as for certification of program compliance. The County ASCS Office also provides measurement service, at cost, to help producers determine acreages at planting or at certification time. Most producers are familiar with our system of certification, followed by spot checks around the county to vertify accuracy of verify accuracy of these statements. Producers can certify JNews from the Washington Area Mrs. Ruth Keyser, Correspondent Mr. and Mrs. William F. Kell of Millville, N.

Long, Virginia Tech, professor of agricultural economics and extension agricultural economist.) Blacksburg—“The dollars take care of themselves. It’s the nickels and dimes that ruin our budget!” Such were the words that I heard after I had, I thought, made a tremendous talk on food budgeting. I had referred to such things as the dollars spent for meat, for produce, for non foods, and so on down the line. To say the least, the comment took the wind out of my sails. Yet, as 1 took a look at our own food budgets, 1 began to see what the lady meant. In many cases it was the nickels and dimes, those spent for gum, candy bars and other low-priced items, that were ballooning our food bills. It was amazing how often those nickels and dimes figures showed up and how much they totaled. We too often looked only at the big items and forgot to see what the small ones were doing. This taught me something. Big expenditures, the dollar ones, are important in the food budget and the total family budget. Yet, as the lady said, they often somewhat take care of themselves. In other words, they are beig enough that we do think seriously before we buy. Small expenditures however, the nickels and dimes, seem so unimportant. The thing we tend to forget is that we make many such purchases. In total they add up to dollars. So, we’ve made a resolution. We won’t forget the dollars but we will remember the nickels and dimes I’m willing to bet our food (budget, and so our total family (budget, will thank us.

What are little girls made of? Of sugar and spice And everything nice, That’s what little girls are made of. My wife asked me what my column would be about this week. I told her that I had written about fathers and mothers and also little boys, I thought I would consider little girls. She said it would be OK but to be careful what I wrote, some readers seem to think I am revealing some of my inner thoughts. Well, maybe I have been guilty as charged. I ain’t admitrin’ nuttin. I’ve been accused of liking women better than men. Thank God for that. It is my opinion that all men do to a great extent, unless they are afflicted with that taint which I have often wondered if Paul referred to as his ‘thorn in the flesh’. But let’s think about little girls. Do you remember when you were a little boy and some little girl wanted you to play house, and be the father of her dolls and how silly you felt? I believe that if a group of children were the sole survivors of some catastrophe, the girls would take on the responsibility of perpetuating the species. Bless these little daughters of Eve. In Isaiah 7th chapter, 14th verse we find that; “ A young girl will become pregnant and bear a son.” WANTED-Farm house to rent for family.

Talent Program There will be a Talent Program given at the Shiloh Baptist Church in Woodville, Va. on Sunday, June 27 at 3:30 p.m. The program will benefit the Sunday School and the public is urged to attend. Rev. C.A. Baltimore In Matthew and also in Luke chapters one we find that the prediction of Isaiah came true. Tradition has it that Mary was only thirteen when she gave birth to the Christ Child. Some have objected to the words ‘young girl’ being used instead of ‘virgin’, however, others contend that young girl or maiden are synonymous with virginity. According to statistics virginity at the age of twelve (when the Christ Child was conceived) is greater, gradually diminishing with advancing years. So, if God chose a young girl to be the mother of His Son, why shouldn’t we love themenough to protect them and shield them from harm? Well, where does my honest confession with regard to young girls come in? As unlikely as it may seem, I was a young boy at one time. Whew, way back then? But I was afraid of little girls; when they wanted me to play with them I would run as if ‘old scratch’ himself was after me. Sometimes my mother would tell me to be nice and I would feel cornered. I was pretty much of a loner till my next younger brother came along. We hated girls and dolls with a passion. But, time marched on and nature began to make herself felt. We decided that little girls were not too bad if they would just stay out of our hair. Then we started to school. There were so many little girls and so different from the neighborhood girls, we made comparisons. Yes, there were some real cute ones at school. But let me share a few thoughts about the little girls that made a lasting impression on my young mind. There was Lucia Mae. Her father owned the farm next to Durs. They would come out from town about once a week to see how the tenant farmer was handling the farm. She was a town girl, as beautiful and as far away as a star. Then there was Nora, my fourth grade sweetheart. I was flattered by her efforts to be near me. Nancy Walker came along a little later. She was a blond, like Lucia Mae, and about as merry a child as you would ever want to see. I’ve seen her laugh till tears would run down her cheeks, and about the most trivial bit of humor; even her eyes seemed U) be laughing. The last time I saw her she was not a blond with her little plaited pigtails down her back, but a sedate married woman. There was a song a few years ago that recalled her back tq mind; “No one can take her place (in memory) My Nancy with the laughing face.” Then last, but by no means least, there was this little blond girl. She was just a child with her walking doll, I may have ignored her if she hadn’t had her doll along. My father and her father were related, so with the passing years I saw her occasionally. I heard through my parents that she had married, which was fine with me, we had never tumbled to each other.

Kenneth Robinson introduced in the House today a bill to place in effect President Nixon’s proposal for a special federal agency to co-ordinate programs of drug abuse prevention, treatment, rehabilitation, training, education and research. The new agency would be known as the Special Action Office for Drug Abuse Prevention and would be a unit of the Executive Office of the President. According to the 7th District Congressman, it would have “overall authority for planning, policy-setting, objectives and priorities for all federal domestic programs of drug abuse, excluding law-enforcement activities.” (The President has established a temporary office under the same name, to perform, on an interim basis, such functions as might be assigned to it without legislation.) j-“I am in full support of the President’s intention to pull together the various federal programs in this field and to intensify in particular, the rehabilitation efforts, in order that the many thousands of addicted then a few years later I took my aging father to visit her father, and pow, sis boom bah, and all that kind of stuff. Yes, she was a little girl when I first saw her, now she is a woman“full grown”, a wife, a grandmother, a sweetheart. I’m glad I like little girls, they grow up to be women Anglers Take 11 Tons of Lake Fish Some 15,290 anglers took over 11 tons of fish from five eastern Virginia municipal water supply lakes during the past year, according to preliminary analysis of dSftt collected at these areas by the Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries in cooperation with the municipalities who own the waters surveyed. The five lakes which encompassed 2,449 acres of fishing waters included Kilby, Meade and Cahoon of the Portsmouth-Suffolk Water Department and Lee Hall and Harwood’s Mill of the Newport News Water Supply Department. Bluegill were the most important fish number-wise making up over half of the total catch at most lakes and over one fourth to half of the total weight. Largemouth bass made up between 17 and 25 percent of the total catch by weight. Chain pickerel and white perch were the other main piscatorial fare. The survey was undertaken in 1970 to gain detailed information on production from a group of representative municipal and private lakes so that such lakes could be better managed in the future to assure good fishing. Anglers were surveyed and the results recorded on cards for machine analysis. In addition to the above mentioned lakes the survey covered lakes Prince, Smith and Whitehurst of the Norfolk Water Supply Department and privately owned lake Powell near Williamsburg. Lake Smith produced the largest bass with an average weight of 2 pounds followed closely by Harwood Mill where largemouths averaged one and one-half pounds. July generally produced the best sunfish catches while largemouths hit most readily in September and pickerel showed up in greatest numbers in October. Anglers took a total of 78,439 fish from the 5 lakes during the year, or about 5 fish apiece. young people may be reclaimed for useful, law-abiding lives,” Robinson said. He explained that the new agency would be considered emergency in nature, and would be intended to function for a period of three years, with discretion to the President to extend it for another two years. “A number of the relatively-new federal programs in this field are experimental in nature, and a major function of the new office would be to determine which were the most productive, in order that the taxpayers’ money could be invested wisely,” Robinson added. i—--—— - Mini-Bikes Make Maxi-Headaches The latest craze in the “mini”! world - mini-bikes ~ has the potential to cause maxi headaches for many parents in this area, the Insurance Information Institute cautions. These packages of pint-sized propulsion look like toys, the Institute notes; but they can cause serious legal and insurance problems. Because of their popularity among the younger set and the ease by which they may be carted off, many parents learn only too late that their homeowners policies, specifically, do not cover the theft of mini-bikes. Nor do auto insurance policies, as a rule, cover the damage a mini-bike causes to a neighbor’s property, his family or another bike rider on a mountain trail. Of course, if the damage or injury caused by the mini-bike is done on the operator’s own property, the resulting claim would be covered by the usual homeowners insurance policy., Another hazard of mini-bikes is that they are often not the most safe and properly equipped of motor vehicles. Even in the few cases of those which do meet equipment requirements, the operator should wear approved protective headgear. Parents should also be aware of the fact that if their youngster does not have a driver’s license, he may be arrested for operating a mini-bike on any public street or thoroughfare in the area, the Institute says. This means that Fiscal-Calendar Year Rep. J. Kenneth Robinson has joined in Congressional sponsorship of a bill to provide that the fiscal year of the Federal Government coincide with the calendar year. The federal fiscal year now begins on July 1. “In recent years, very few appropriation bills have cleared Congress prior to the start of the fiscal year to which they applied," the 7 th District Congressman noted, “and it seems logical to recognize that Congress has been taking a full year' to act on many of these bills.” “In these circumstances, making the fiscal year coincide with the next calendar year would facilitate planning by State and local budgetary officers working on a calendar-year basis, who must take into account the prospective availability of various federal fund allocations,” he said. (Congress recently received the Present’s budget for the fjgcgi year beginning July 1,1971.)

Washington, Va. sidewalks, parking lots, apartment complex entrances and exits, as well as alleyways and highways, are off limits to unlicensed poerators. If a mini-bike is covered by an auto insurance polciy and its youthful operator does no t have a license, insurance coverage is non-existent off his parents’ property. The Institute urges parents to consider the problems involved in allowing unlicensed drivers to operate these mini bikes: harm to the child, motor vehicle law violation, legal liability and resultant damage suits.
