Rappahannock News, November 25, 1971

Mental Health Association Beets Officers at Annual Meeting Ihur. Speakers for the annual meeting last Thursday of the Rappahannock Mental Health Association were Dr. John Peyton Snead IV and Mrs. Patricia Saltonstall with Rev. William M Hargett, who has just assumed the chairmanship of the organization for the coming year. Rev. William M. Hargett of Washington, Va. was elected Chairman of the Rappahannock Mental Health Association for the 1971-72 year. He takes the chair vacated by Dr. R. B. Allen of Flint Hill. Other officers elected at the annual meeting Thursday of this group were Rev. Ronald Wiley of Sperryville, vice chairman; Mrs. James F. Massie of Amissville, secretary and Mrs. Frances Thornton of Sperryville, treasurer. The Rappahannock Mental Health group is' associated with the Culpeper Association and clinic and more than 20 patients from Rappahannock have received treatment in the past year. The work of this organization is funded by contributions from individuals and groups and with a foundation grant. The local government has this year allocated $1500 for work of the assbciation. Patients needing care or treatment are referred to the association by the local Health Department, Welfare Department and schools. Speakers for the annual association meeting included Virginia Delegate Tom Parker who is a Richmond attorney and a member of the Board of Directors of the National Association for Mental Health; Dr. John Peyton Snead, IV, child psychiatrist of Rixeyville and Mrs. Patricia Saltonstall, who is on the Washington Area Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse, Inc. Mr. Parker stressed the importance of after care and rehabilitation of mental patients and of the great necessity ol education and research in this field. He commended the group on its association with the neighboring clinic and noted thal work in this field is being carried on at Federal, State and locai levels, as well as work in the related problems of alcohol and drug addiction. Dr. Snead pointed out the great need of care for the large and growing number of people foi whom there is an acute shortage of trained personnel to handle these cases. He used the Fauquier Family Guidance Center with which he is affiliated as an example of what is being done. A diagnosis of each individual follows a study of the social history and environment. After problems are broken down i (Continued on page 5) Washington Fire Department has purchased a water tank truck to be able to more adequately handle country fires. They have also purchased running gear for the firemen. The 1956 water truck carries 1200 gallons and will be a backup unit for the present equipment. The running gear consists of Yellow coats and helmets and boots for six men, plus two sets of breathing apparatus. The running gear was all provided with proceeds from bake and rummage sales sponsored by women of the Fire Co. which grossed over a thousand dollars this fall. Pictured above are Jay Alther, Ronny Hawkins, Steve Bailey Bruce Critzer.and Ennis Jenkins. Tax Deadline Set December 5 The deadline for paying personal property and real estate taxes in Rappahannock County is December 5, 1971. Since this date falls on Sunday, the deadline will be Monday the 6th. After that date a 5% penalty will be added to delinquent accounts. Tax statements were mailed to Rappahannock residents in October. Some have been returned due to incorrect addresses. It is the responsibility of the taxpayer to keep the treasurer informed, said Robert L. Brown, Treasurer of Rappahannock, and if you have not received your tax statement by this time, call him at his office in Washington, Va. A duplicate statement will be mailed. The Treasurer is in his office each day and will be there Saturdays from 8 until 11 a.m. Amissville Ruritam Earn District Award Amissville Ruritan Club received the Citizenship and Patriotism award for Rappahannock District during the 21st annual convention of this group which was held Saturday in Charlottesville. The Amissville Club was one of 58 clubs attending the Rappahannock District Convention. Edward Lawrence, president of the local group and Ted Settle, its president elect, attended the meeting. Joint Service Everyone is cordially invited to attend the Thanksgiving Service at Trinity Episcopal Church Thursday, November 25 at 10 o’clock. This service is sponsored by the united churches of Baptist, Episcopal and Methodist. The speaker will be the Rev. R. Wiley Annual Incomes Move Upward In Rappahannock County According to a nationwide study of income and its distribution, Rappahannock County has more of its families in the middle and upper brackets and fewer in the lower brackets than ever before. Locally, there has been a progressive shift upward, with families advancing from one income level to the next higher one. Many of those who were in the $8,000 to $10,000 group a year or two ago are now to be found in the $10,000-and-over spot. Their former positions, in turn, have been taken over by families who had been in the $5,000 to $8,000 category. The facts and figures are revealed in a copyrighted report prepared by Sales Management, the marketing publication. The purpose was to obtain a better financial picture of localities across the country than could be gained solely from the usual “average income” figures. Does that average income apply to a large portion of the population or does it represent a small proportion of high-income families counterbalancing a larger proportion with small earnings? In Rappahannock County, the report shows, 40.0 percent of the household had $5,000 or more in disposable cash remaining from their incomes after paying their personal taxes. By way of comparison, the proportion three years ago, when a similar study was made, was only 31.6 percent. The gain, 8.4 percent, topped the United States rise of 6.1 percent and that in the South Atlantic States, 6.7 percent. Because the survey takes into account only cash income, it does not do full justice to farm communities, where € fire and Rescue [ ( Squad Notes ( The fire companies from Washington, Castleton and Amissville responded to a house fire Monday morning on the farm of R. M. Munro at Laurel Mills. A vacant house was destroyed. Rappahannock Rescue Squad responded to an accident on Route 211 in Washington Sunday and took Mrs. Alice Pullen to Page Memorial Hospital, Luray. It also i responded to both fires attended by Washington Fire Co. Sperryville Rescue Squad took Mrs. H. H. Aylor from Winchester I to Johns Hopkins in Baltimore. That night Silas Wallace was taken from his home in Woodville to Culpeper Memorial Hospital. Sperryville and Washington fire companies answered an alarm to a brush fire Monday night in Sycamore Hollow on the Taylor property. Amissville Fire Company answered a call November 17 to the Amissville dump where the trash truck caught fire from an electrical short. Amissville Rescue Squad took Thomas Bland from the Acrey Dodson home to Fauquier Hospital early Monday morning. He had been in a traffic crash. income-in-kind and lower living costs are important considerations. The breakdown figures for Rappahannock County list 23.8 percent of the local households with net incomes of $5,000 to $8,000 after taxes, 9.4 percent at the $8,000 to $10,000 level and, in the over-$10,000 brackets, 6.8 percent. The remainder are below $5,000. Because of the steady rise in the cost of living, these income gains were offset to a large extent, it is noted. However, the advantages have outweighed the disadvantages in the past five years. Wrecks Reported A series of traffic mishaps havi been reported during the las week. Last Wednesday afternooi a single car crash occurred oi Route 522 about 3 p.m. east o Scrabble. Mrs. Ethel Elizabeth Jenkins o Etlan operating a 64 Chevrolei ran off the right of the highway lost control of the car and struct the bank. Damage to the vehiclt was estimated at a thousanc dollars.

Game Commission Personnel Seine Thornton River for Biological Study The word Game Commission immediately brings to mind Game 1 Wardens and trout stocking, both ' of which are vital functions of the 1 commission. Little does the ' average Joe Doe really know ol the various facets of this , organization and the research, time and effort expended to help nature keep a good balance. A concentrated study of the rivers of the area has been undertaken by this department. Fish biologists have been seining the Thornton River, basically to find out what it contains in fish species, and in turn to determine what management practices to follow. With the belated environment awareness which affects all, state and federal agencies are rallying to do their part. What damage has been done to the rivers? What are they really like? An inventory and survey is being taken and the information will be computer programmed for use at any time. Norville Prosser, Research Fish Biologist and his assistant, Ron Privett with local Game Warden Irvin L. Kenyon jr. and John Morris, a U. Va. student, checked the Thornton River with an electric seine last week. Current for the 30-foot seine is generated by a 230 volt motor producing about one ampere. The pulsating current draws the fish to the positive electrode and they are stunned, then netted and placed in a tub of water. Here they revive and are measured and weighted, then give up a few scales for laboratory study and returned to their habitat. The commission personnel on this project must wear insulated clothing, rubber gloves, and pants or hip boots. The seine creates heat in the water which is an excellent conductor of electricity and one of the net men must be ready to disengage the current connection should one of them slip or stumble on a rock and fall. Various sections of the Thornton produced species of smallmouth bass, hog suckers, river chub, small mad toms, cutlip minnows, fall fish, white suckers, shiners. At least 14 varieties were discovered, and most identified. As the group wended its way downstream a greater variety was apparent and it was evident that the trout stocked in the upper reaches of the Thornton earlier in the year, had not drifted downstream. This was a, question for which they had sought an answer. Data gathered and scale samples taken will be assembled and studied in detail. From the scales, examined under microscopes, the age of the fish can be determined, as well as the rate of growth. The (Continued on page 5) The Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries is conducting an extensive program of study on the rivers of the area to ascertain the species of marine life which are present and to establish desirable management practices.

Kenyon jr., local Game Warden and John Morris, a student at the University of Virginia comb the river at Rock Mills with an electric seine.

Your Southern States Cooperative Agency PARMER'S Thrifty Housekeeping With the sudden approach of colder weather, we realize that the holiday season is fast approaching. Now is the time to get yourself into the habit of making your house work easier. Here are some tips to make your holidays happier: 1) Plan before you start to work. Think through the jobs that need to be done and when, when and how to do them the quickest. When you think of something that needs to be done, write it down. Don’t waste time and energy trying to remember or being sorry you forgot. 2) Save steps. Empty waste baskets from each room into a large grocery bag and then make one trip through the house to the trash can. 3) Divide the load. Let family members help with tasks suited to their ages and abilities. You rob your children of valuable experiences when you say, “It’s easier to do it myself.” Be sure, however to give children clear instructions. 4) Take time to rest. This is a thrifty practice that improves your disposition as well as your health. 5) Use the tools, equipment and supplies best suited to each job. When ever possible, use trays and serving carts to carry supplies. Make full use of your vacumm cleaner and dust mops. You clean by taking dirt away, not scattering it around. Whatever tools you use, be sure to keep them in good working condition. This will not only save time by making repairs before the equipment breaks down but it will also help prevent frazzled nerves. Poachers Guilty Hunting in Park Four men found that poaching deer in Shenandoah National Park can be expensive. Earl E. Smith, age 32 of Syria, Harold V. Brown, age 24 of Pratts, and two juveniles were found guilty, of hunting in Shenandoah National Park. Appearing before United States Magistrate I. Randolph Dovel, Sr., Smith was fined $250.00 and had a 12 gauge shotgun and his car confiscated. Fresh samples of blood found in the trunk of the car were determined by the F.B.I. Laboratory to be from an animal of the deer family. Harold Brown was fined $100 and the two juveniles $50 each. With the approach of deer season, hunters are cautioned to brush up on their hunting regulations and be absolutely certain of the ownership of the property upon which they are hunting. No hunting of any type is permitted within Shenandoah National Park. Supt. R. Taylor Hoskins reported even though the Park boundary is long and irregular, it is plainly marked with signs and red blazes. Hunters having any doubt sould contact the Chief Ranger’s office, 599-2241. Deer which are frequently seen along Skyline Drive provide pleasure and enjoyment for thousands of visitors to the Park. However, because of the large number of visitors and the protection provided by the Park, deer lose much of their natural fear of man. They are rather easy victims for the poacher. Although the poacher may claim to be a sportsman, it is rather obvious that he is unable or unwilling to compete with the honest hunter who is willing to work for his game. -Auction TodayBy Donna Parson It is still a generous day in the Blue Ridge countryside. November is politely hanging back to allow the black gum and chestnut oaks a ft ■ more days of glory. The gray ' y uirns to a soft drizzle and tht .hite under-belly look of birch bark begins to show under its thinning leaves. Some signs along the road point out Auction Today, and following the arrows you arrive at a white farmhouse on a secluded country lane. Only a few apples cling to the trees in the bedraggled orchard beside it. The old barn’s silver-weathered boards can be seen again since the summer vines are bare. A dogwood tree glistens with shiny red berries and deep burgundy leaves in the yard. On the driveway gate is a lopsided Beware of the Dog sign, hanging by one nail. Cars are parked up and down the road, but the crowd is small, bobbing around under umbrellas, or hunching up shoulders in a vain attempt to ward off neck trickles. Customers poke about in a familiar way among the family possessions, handling the years casually with the wom spots they encounter. The auctioneer begins his labors in the shed out of the rain. For fifty cents you can buy a barrel with a pitchfork and an Old Grandad bottle inside! In rapid order, a cast iron stove, a box overflowing with harness, three r A SYMBOL OF GIVING The three points of the inner flower in the symbol of the American Cancer Society's Memorial Program represent Research, Education, and Service, often referred to as the Society's threepronged attack on cancer. : Memorial contributions to the Society can help bring closer the moment of ultimate triumph over cancer. Remember those you loved with a Memorial gift to your Local Unit of the AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY threadbare wicker chairs, one plow, two hoes, a tub of topless Mason jars, and a winterized doghouse, go by the block. Still in the rain, the crowd follows the auctioneer across the lawn, appearing to devour each auctioned item before it like a hungry vacuum cleaner. Inside the house, the kitchen is crowded with strangers, and the dishes are scattered over all the counters. The upstairs furniture has been dragged down to the front porch, from where a fine view of the flaming bills can be seen, without charge. Photographs of a boy in uniform (which war?) adoms the mantle. A woman in a high-necked wedding gown poses with a gentleman suitably attired in hearty moustache and boiled shirt, in their wedding portrait atop the yellow-toothed piano. Couch, chairs, and end tables are jostled together on the old rug for the last time. The women have excitedly congregated around a magnificent “what-not” that is tater than a man, and solidly carved. Its shelves and height are enough to display all manner of china treasures. It is such a beauty, that, alas, a stout man in a vest and bowler hat sails his bids far above the heads of the disappointed women. As we watch the “What-not” disappear from view, someone sniffs -dealer, no doubt! The drizzle has turned to a fine mist as you drive home after paying the tally for an oval braided rug, a ruffled rocking chair, a broken butter chum, the aforementioned barrel, and two crocks, slightly cracked. Suddenly, we see a covey of quail meandering along under a nearly naked black walnut tree. In an instant they have taken flight and vanish into the brush. A distant peak has caught a few wisps of mist, holding down the cloud with trees for tent stakes. Cornfields are now such close-cropped stubble that even crows will soon have to carry knapsacks to stay alive, because November comes to everything - people, houses and cawking crows - in due season.

Offers Large Supply of Credit Virginia farmers will be able to tap the largest supply of supplemental credit in history this year through the Farmers Home Administration, State Director Richard A. Goodling announced today. “We project that more than $8 million will be available to Virginia farmers in fiscal year 72, as a result of cooperative efforts between the Farmers Home Administration and commercial lenders,” he stated. The cooperative effort involves having the commercial credit source and Farmers Home Administration make simultaneous loans to a borrower, with the private lender having first claim on the security. “The farm ownership program is aimed to reach $4.3 million of government money, with private lenders participating at a level of VILLAGE SHOP Main St - - Flint HilL V*. is open on its regular schedule Tuesday thru Saturday • 11-6 • LlnserJ* • twutin • WIndbreakera • Robss, Coats cj4{? tea’s Factory Outlet NOW OPEN Come in today — mid save on quality clothing items like: • Blouses 11.00 to $4.78 LB Ladles’ Slacks from $2.00 B Skirts 4 Slacks Seta from $8.60 S LAYAWAY SPECIAL!

The President also said the nationwide farm operating loan program would be raised to $350 million from its present $275 million level if the Congress would approve legislation changing the program from an appropriation basis to an insured basis. If this legislation is passed, Crooanng saia, notes ot tarm borrowers for operating purposes would be sold to investors who, in turn, would be insured against loss on the notes. The investors’ money would replenish a revolving fund and would be available for more loans, as is the case now with farm ownership loans. “In addition, we are hopeful that in this fiscal year 1972, private credit sources will cooperate by lending $250 million to our farm ownership borrowers. This, plus our $350 million budget, makes $600 million in credit available. Projections show there should also be an added $150 million in private money for families who participate in our $275 million farm operating credit program. “When we add these sums to the $140 million emergency farm loan program, wq’re looking at more than a billion dollar program - double the credit available to family farmers through FHA in 1971. A third qf this amount will have been provided directly by the private enterprise system,” Mr. Goodling said. Mr. Goodling points out that the plan is favorably received by commercial lenders, and private participation is expected to rise sharply. “It is our policy to assist people in finding the credit needed to begin farming or to help finance farm operations,” he said. “We therefore commit government funds only when we cannot involve private money to serve agriculture’s credit needs. “To assure this, county supervisors of the Farmers Home Administration are required to contact another lender with respect to every application for farm ownership or operating funds. “WE are pleased with the fine cooperation extended by banks and other credit sources to make this plan work,” he concluded.

Orange Radio Station Begins FM Operation Radio station WJMA-FM ir Orange will begin regular operation at 6 a.m. Thanksgiving Day. The new station will be heard at 96.7 on the FM dial and will duplicate programs of the companion station WJMA. WJMA-FM has been on the air with equipment and program tests since Monday night, Nov. 22. The new FM station is owned and operated by WJMA, Inc. which also operates WJMA in Orange. Arch Harrison, Jr., President of the Orange radio station, said the new FM station was installed to give day and night service to areas now unable to receive the AM signal in early morning and after sundown. The AM station is required to reduce power from 1,000 watts to 250 watts during those hours. The new FM station will have a power of 3,000 watts at all times. WJMA-FM should be heard easily on home, portable and automobile FM radios within a 35 to 50 mile radius of Orange. It is the first and only local FM service for Orange, Madison, Louisa and Greene Counties. In connection with start of the new FM service WJMA Inc. is introducing a new corporate service mark: the Post Horn. The new design was created by Joseph E. Morse of Barboursville. Mr. Morse is a professional artist and a student of early Americana. He said he selected the Post Horn as a symbol because of its role in America’s past as the harbinger of news and information about the outside world. In the early days before the rails knit the nation together the Post Riders and stage coach drivers used the post horn to announce their arrival in a town. These men would then pass on to a gathering of citizens the news of the day. “In its own way,” Mr. Morse said, “WJMA performs this same service daily for thousands of listeners throughout the fivecounty area. Thus the post horn is an appropriate symbol for this expanded service of news and information to be offered by the combination of WJMA and WJMAFM.” Interior remodeling to the WJMA studio-office building in Orange was carried out during the summer under general supervision of Bill and Roy Hager of Orange. The Hagers also installed the new FM transmitter and control room equipment. WJMA-AM went on the air September 10, 1949. It has been owned by WJMA, Inc. since July 1961.

More Spent Locally for Home Improvements How much are Rappahannock County homeowners spending per year for alternations, improvements, repairs and maintenance of their property? The findings are that it runs into big figures. According to the latest government reports listing average outlays per housing unit in the regional area, local homeowners spent an estimated $449,000 for such purposes in the past year. It amounted to an average expenditure in the area of $222 per unit. Nationally it was $297. The4se were the averages. Some spent more than this and others much less since only a small proportion of homeowners go in for sizeable improvements or renovations in any one year. The figures, based upon data from the Department of Commerce, show that the major outlay, in most cases, was for additions, alterations and replacements. About 60 percent of the total went in this direction. The remaining 40 percent was for maintenance and general upkeep. Painting was the biggest item in this category, accounting for nearly half the amount spent. Next in order were plumbing, roofing, heating and other repairs. The amount of money going for home improvements has been on the rise lately. Nationally, reports the Commerce Department, $14.8 billion was spent in the past year. This was an ini crease of $1.2 billion over the previous year. Most experts agree that the increase was due principally to the fact that many families who Public Auction Sale Saturday, December 4,1971 beginning at 10:30 a.m. Located in Amissville, Virginia, Culpeper County, on Route 621 off of Route 211 about 8 miles west of Warrenton, on the premises of the late N.

The first thing in infant is taught or has the natural instinct to do is drink. She cited statistics on the enormous spread of alcoholism which touches at one time or mother every individual. Mrs. Saltonstall stated that it is time, ndeed, that we begin to consider ;his problem as a disease and treat t rather than shove it under the mg out of sight. She bemoaned the lack of study and research into alcoholism and stated that to date Alcoholics Anonymous is the most effective program in existence. Thornton River Continued from page 1 itudy revealed that the river ;upports clean water fish. The Game Commission is ■esponsible for all of the fresh vater recreation in Virginia; for ;rout stocking, lake stocking, fertilizing. It must work to provide sport for the anglers of ;he Old Dominion and to do so must enhance the production of game fish in the most economical manner. As an example, the 218 acre Burke Lake in Fairfax County, last year from March until October provided 128 thousand hours of fishing to 55 fishermen. Lakes must be fertilized and managed properly to maintain this average, to say nothing of the projected increase. Fertilization has increased lake production from 20 pounds to 160 pounds. Mr. Prosser, a native of Colorado, educated in the State University there, is undertaking a three year study on the lakes. He said that research and management were vital, but that all was last without effective law enforcement. Jlatterbuck as he rounded a curve oo short.

Jenkins, our beloved husband and father, ■who passed away November 12,1952. Years have passed, but our hearts are still sore. As time goes by, we miss you more No one but God will ever know The grief we’ve suffered from long ago. He had a smile for everyone, a heart of pure gold. The lasting, loving memories, 5ln our hearts, we hold. Hia wife and children * — — — — — — — Someone has accused *me of being a philosopher. Let’s see if I can qualify. A student of philosophy ; yes, I have dabbled in that study. One who applies calm reason to the conduct of life. Well, maybe. One who keeps his serenity under trying conditions. Sometimes I can keep my cool; and then - BANG! POW! BOOM! A person of judgment and practical wisdom; alas and alack, I’m afraid I cannot qualify as a philosopher. Sorry. John Gardner has written: “An excellent plumber is infinitely more admirable than an incompetent philosopher. The society which scorns excellence in plumbing because plumbing is a humble activity, and tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because it is an exalted activity, will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy. Neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water. (I’m not a good plumber either.) I might say that I do have a certain philosophy regarding my present manifestation on this plane. I think my own thoughts, live my own life and will soon reach the transition into another plane. My life has touched other lives and has in turn been touched by theirs. Sometimes I wonder why a person ‘ticks’ in a certain manner, then the thought comes, ‘they are just showing their own individuality’. Clocks tick in various ways; maybe they are all good clocks. Each tick indicates a second gone, TIME tiptoeing into ETERNITY. Tips On Gardening (Editor’s Note: This is one of a series on home horticulture by W. P. Judkins, a Virginia Tech extension horticulturist.) BLACKSBURG-The autumn leaves which add beautiful colors to the landscape, are also a fine source of organic matter for your garden. They will cause some extra work when they fall on your lawn, but they are worth the effort because of their value as mulch or compost. Keep your leaves raked up so they will not accumulate on the lawn. A pile of wet leaves will smother the grass and cause bare spots next summer. If your lawn is quite small, the raking of leaves will provide some nice exercise on a sunny afternoon. A lawn sweeper or vacuum will make the job easier if you have a large lot with many trees. The problem of disposing of leaves is easy if you save them for mulch or compost. Do not burn this valuable material. This practice pollutes the air and destroys organic matter you need for your garden. You can secure double value from leaves by using them as mulch in your vegetable or flower garden during the summer, and then plow or rototile them into the soil the following spring., As a mulch they conserve moisture and control weeds. When plowed into the ground they improve the soil as if you had used compost. uidrse leaves uu 1101 iuuk. very neat in a flower bed or border. They should be shredded or composted if they are to be used in these locations. A shredding machine is the best method for grinding leaves. This will reduce them to about ten per cent of their original volume. This finely chopped material makes an ideal mulch, or will decompose rapidly in a compost pile.

Brokenburr, Hopewell Baptist Church Sperryville, Virginia The meaning of the approaching season will not take its rightful place in the hearts ol men as long as they look upon themselves as being Greeks, Frenchmen, Blacks, Englishmen, and Russians. Mankind’s innei drives direct him towards a Supreme Being called upon by many different names in many different lands. However God is The Driver who directs all of oui drives or trips from the cradle to the grave. Appreciativeness for a condition or some material goodness comes when one’s inner drives causes him to remember when his hopes of survival had vanished, and when he becomes willing to share with others because of his love for another human being. That kind of thankfulness is a sign that points toward God -- The Driver, waiting to take over when our little know-how runs out. Our inner drives to achieve often causes us to forget the other fellow with lesser advantages; not thinking to care is one sure to say I am not grateful to God -- The Driver, behind all drives. Heartfelt thankfulness can be learned from an act of one of our late presidents of these great United States who would, after a long drive across the country, go down to the engineer of his train and shake his hand and thank him for a safe drive. Then the engineer would smile and thank the president for humbling himself to Social Security 1 Notes People 65 and over collecting 1 social security retirement benefits J are part of “the fastest growing age group in the population,’’ according to Mrs. Hazel F. . Crumpton, social security district manager in Winchester. “Census figures show that since 1950 the number of people 65 and over has increased by about 65 percent-from 12 million to 20 j million,” she said. “The younger ' population has increased 32 [ percent.” 1 “About 16.8 million now get1 monthly retirement checks from social security,” she said. “That includes about 13.6 million retired workers plus dependents in their families.” Not all of these retired workers are over 65, however. Eligible workers can begin collecting social security retirement benefits as early as age 62,although payments are reduced. Full benefits are payable if the worker begins collecting them at 65. Social security retirement benefits now average $131 a month. “The very fastest growing age group is the very oldest-75 and over,” Mrs. Crumpton said. ‘‘They’ve almost doubled in number during the past 20 yearsfrom 3.9 million to 7.6 million, according to the census.” “Some 5,250 people who are 100 over get regular monthly checks from social security, an increase of 61 percent compared to 1969,” she said. Almost everyone 65 or over has health insurance protection under Medicare, she noted. “Through social security younger workers and their families build disability and survivors protection as well as retirement protection,” she said. she added that many people in the 65 and over population are still working. It’s not unusual for social security retirement beneficiaries to work at least part of the year, she added. “If a retirement beneficiary earns $1,680 or less a year, he’ll still get his regular check every month,” Mrs. Crumpton said. “And no matter how much his earnings add up to for the year, he can be paid a social security check for every month he earns $140 or less or performs no substantial services in self-employment.” In addition, people 72 or older can collect social security benefits each month regardless of how much they earn. “And, almost everyone 65 or over has health insurance protection under Medicare whether they are retired or still working,” Mrs. Crumpton said. come. That act by our late president also showed that he had not forgotten the history of our great country that tells us about the hardships, sickness and death the founding fathers and mothers endured to lay the foundation for our celebrated Thanksgiving Day. Their inner drives and God - Their Driver, started them out from England on a perilous drive across the ocean. They landed on the shores of this country that they called New England. Their first winter was the worst. Their food supply was just about exhausted to the extent that each pilgrim was given five (5) grains of com per day and there were only seven (7) persons well enough to care for the sick and bury the dead. TTiat sorrowful condition lasted until God - The Driver, touched the hearts of a few who would be hostile Indians, who came to their aid and saved their lives. Many generations have come and gone since that awful winter, but thank God for a few real Americans who on Thanksgiving Day still place five (5) grains of com near each plate as a memorial to our founding fathers’ first Thanksgiving Day in the New Land. The God-fearing people who blazed the trail for us were proud and thankful for their stamina and their inner drives, but their accomplishments against such terriffic odds say they were more thankful to God and His Providence. It is said in the 6th Chapter of Deuteronomy - O.T. 11th and 12th v., these words. “You will live in cities that you buildest not, and houses full of ;ood things which you fllledst lot, vineyards and olive trees which thou plantedst not, when hou shalt have eaten and be full, hen beware lest thou forget the Lord which brought thee forth >ut of the house of bondage.” Many of our social discomforts ire with us today because our nner drives for some material *ood have made us forget God md His Providence; to be selfish ind greedy is one way to say, I im not grateful. The above is best aid by Thoreau who wrote in the fear of 1854 these words -- “There is no odor so bad as ;hat which arises from goodness ainted.” Please let us strive not to spoil ;he ‘Incoming season with pride ind 'Selfishness, for pride slays Thanksgiving, but a humble mind is the soil out of which thanks naturally grow - a proud man is seldom a grateful man, for he never thinks he gets as much as he deserves.

Sen. Robinson Cites Foot Dragging Rep. J. Kenneth Robinson said Monday that the first session ol the 92nd Congress is moving toward adjournment “without action on many of the legislative proposals which captured the headlines back in January, when the session began.” He mentioned, in particular, President Nixon’s plans for revenue sharing with the states and for a major reorganization of Cabinet-level Federal departments. “I might reserve judgment about some of the details of the two plans, but they certainly deserve the serious attention of the Congress, as they could make the huge Federal establishment more responsive to public needs and give the taxpayer better value for his Federal tax dollar,” Robinson said. The 7th District Congressman, at home during a Thanksgiving recess of the House, spoke informally to government students at Lord Fairfax Community College here. He noted that Congressional committees had held hearings on some elements of the revenue sharing and reorganization plans, but no bill had come up for floor debate. He added: “In another area, Congress has failed to provide a mechanism to protect the public from crippling national labor strikes. “Still not passed, but on the ‘must’ list for this session, is legislation to extend and expand the President’s economic controls authority. “The principal controversy in this regard involves an effort to require full retroactivity on pay increases negotiated in collective bargaining prior to the freeze. At present, retroactivity is discretionary with the Pay Board.” “Various plans of national health insurance will not come up for action in either house until next year, although committee hearings have been in progress on both sides of the Capitol,” Robinson said.
