The automobile is playing an ever-expanding role in the daily life of Rappahannock County residents, a national study shows. Today, as a result of the steady increase in car ownership in the area, only a relatively small proportion of local families are now without cars. Many families, on the other hand, have more than one. , Rearing witness to this growth are the many snappy late-model cars to be seen on local roads and streets as well as the additional congestion caused by the increase in the number of them in use. The facts and figures are provided for all areas of the country by the Standard Rate and Data Service, through its annual consumer market reports, and by the Automobile Manufacturers Association and others. They show that Rappahannock County’s auto population is at a high level. As of the beginning of this year there were no less than 1,770 cars in operation locally, equivalent to 118 per 100 families.
