DECEMBER 23. 1971 Single Copy - 10c Tim Falls of Woodville was not a bit bashful when he met Santa Claus at Rappahannock Library Saturday afternoon and made himself right at home on his lap. Tim is the son of Mr. and Mrs. James Falls and was among the large group of youngsters who eagerly awaited the arrival of Santa at the annual Christmas party at the Library which is sponsored by the Rappahannock Jaycee Chapter. Local Consumer Debt $850 Per Family How well are Rappahannock County residents managing their financial affairs these days? How much do they owe in the form of instalment debt? To what extent have they been using the abundant amount of credit at their command to purautomobile, dishwashers, sJr conditioners, furniture and other expensive items? Although their incomes have gone up in the last year or two, in I Fire and Rescue}. ( Squad Notes { Flint Hill Rescue Squad on Friday, December 10 brought William Golladay from Woodstock to the Paul Nichols home. December 16 John Miles was taken from his home near Rappahannock River Bridge to Warren Memorial Hospital. The same day Mr. Golloday was taken from the Nichols home to the Woodstock Hospital. Also on Thursday they reported to the home of Louis Moore. Service was not needed. Friday, Dec. 17 Danny Figgins was taken from the home the home of Allison Jenkins at Etlan to Culpeper Memorial Hospital. On Friday James 0. Jenkins was taken from residence in Washington to University of Virginia Hospital. On Sunday the Squad took Daniel Norman from home in Five Forks to University of Virginia Hospital. Tuesday Silas Wallace was transferred from Culpeper Memorial Hospital to home in Woodville. Sperryville Rescue Squad on Wednesday, December 15 took Silas Wallace from home in Woodville to Culpeper Memorial Hospital. On December 17 Gladys Jenkins was taken from home of Thomas Jenkins in Washington to Warren Memorial Hospital. ‘On December 19 Eldon Sisk was taken from home in Jenkins Hollow to Culpeper Memorial HdSpital and back home. Amissville Fire Company responded to a chimney fire yesterday morning at the Edmund Martin home at Viewtown. most cases, enabling them to become more expansive in their spending, they have been more cautious than usual, due to their uncertainties with regard to inflation, unemployment and other economic factors. As a resuty, they have kept their debt load-well within manageable limits and their cedtt in good shape. According to data from the Federal Reserve Board, the National Consumer Finance Association and others, the amount of consumer debt outstanding in the United States is over $103 billion. It is equivalent to about $1,600 per family. In Rappahannock County, on the basis of recent national reports and based upon average earnings and expenditures locally, the overall debt load is estimated at $1,271,000. This includes automboile loans, credit extended for the purchase of other consumer goods, personal loans and loans for home repair and modernization. It does not include mortgage debt, charge accounts and single payment loans. The debt load in the local area figures out to $850 per family. That is the mathematical average. However, since many families have no debt at all, the amount owed by those that do is considerably higher. In general, more than $1 out of every $7 that a family has left after paying its personal taxes goes toward the repayments it must make on its instalment debt. Is this too much of a burden for them? Not according to the figures. They show that the proportion of defaults is very small. Most people are careful about their finances and do not take on more debt than they can handle. Mrs. Spalding Receives Retirement Gift Personnel of adjoining and affiliating ' offices in the Court House area joined Monday afternoon for a Christmas party. At this time Mrs. Roberta Spalding was given an engraved silver cigarette box by her associates and friends. The presentation was made by Judge Rayner V. Snead. Mrs. Spalding will retire December 31 as Commissioner of the Revenue after holding that position since 1951. ^ ■ J/_ Rappahannock News Changes Ownership A joint announcement has been made this week of sale of The Rappahannock News by Green Publishers, Inc. of Orange to the Fauquier Publishing Co. at The Plains.

Panthers Defeated In Two Final Pre-Holiday Games The Rappahannock Panthers met defeat in their last two games of 1971 last week when they met William Monroe and Stonewall Jackson. The William Monroe Dragons hosted the Panthers Friday night, posting a double win by taking the junior varsity and varsity contests. In the varsity game, a combination of Rappahannock’s cold foul shooting, (one for nineteen) and William "Monroe’s hot shooting spelled defeat. The final score was 65 to 41, with William Monroe’s Ray Powell leading all scorers with 38 points. The Panthers hosted the Stonewall Jackson Generals Monday night and again lost twice, this time by a score of 76-53 in the varsity game and 51-30 in the junior. Things were improved some by this game with Rappahannock’s foul shooting perj centage up to 32%. Sophomore Harry Jordan provided a bright spot for the Panther fans by scoring 25 points and pulling down 22 rebounds to lead all comers in both departments. In both the William Monroe and Stonewall Jackson games Junior starter Cliff Frye was sidelined with an injury and saw no action. He is expected to be back in shape and ready to go when the Panthers face their next opponents, Central High School, on January 4. Spectator turnout has been very high at the games this year, much to the gratification of the players. At the two away games so far this year, the Rappahannock fans have outnumbered their opponent’s spectators which says a lot for the students. Student and adult tickets will be on sale January 3 for those wishing guaranteed entrance to game with the Central Falcons on January 4. Miller Is Victor In Hampton District Supervisor Election Recount A recount of the ballots cast for Supervisor of Hampton District has resulted in a reversed decision and by order of the Circuit Court Newbill Miller has been officially declared the winner. In the November general election, incumbent Miller was opposed by Clarence Baldwin and the early morning tally following the election revealed 232 votes for Baldwin as compared to 231 for Miller. After the ballots were recounted three times Friday during a Circuit Court suit with Miller as petitioner and Baldwin, respondent, the results were exactly reversed. Court was opened by Sheriff Charles K. Estes who introduced the three presiding judges. Hearing the suit were Circuit Court Judges Carlton Penn, Paul O. Brown and William G.

And so the Wise Men pondered What could its message be, For it somehow seemed to beckon And say, “Come, follow me!” So they readied for a journey, And chose their gifts so rare. Then they climbed upon their camels, And turned them toward the star. Long days and nights they traveled With trials along the way, Until they came to Bethlehem Where now the Christ Child lay. And there the holy Magi Knelt before this tiny King; They gazed in adoration While hearing angels sing. And then along with shepherds They learned the reason why They were beckoned by a message That came out of the sky. And they gave it to the ages So that all good men might be, Just as joyfully rewarded By the words, “Come, follow me!” Special delivery! It’s a friendly message brimming with the best of holiday cheer. We hope this Christmas is the merriest and happiest for you and all your loved ones. Service Tire and Battery Co. Front Royal, Va. Letter To Editor Dear Mrs. Latham: As you know, my two year term as the Representative of Rappahannock County in the Virginia House of Delegates expires on January 12th when the next session of the General Assembly commences. I have enjoyed meeting and working with and for the people of Rappahannock and am sorry that during the redistricting of the State it was necessary to transfer Rappahannock County from my Legislative District. I want to thank all of the people for the help and support which they have given to me and to say that even though I might not be their Delegate my interest in all the people of Rappahannock will continue and anytime I may be of help I will be glad to do so. Pokey joins me in extending our best wishes to all for a joyous Christmas season. Sincerely, Duncan C.

Pork In Family Meals Kay E. Webb, Ext. Agt. While driving around in the county for that last few weeks, we. have noticed a number of families preparing for winter by slaughtering and preparing the many pork items that are so appealing. If you do not slaughter your own animal, you may find that even in the grocery stores that pork prices are slightly lower. Pork is high in nutritive values and a particularly rich source of Vitamin B (thiamine). Even calorie watchers may include pork in their meals. A 3 oz. serving of roast fresh Boston butt with the fat trimmed off contains about 205 calories; 3 oz. serving of cured ham, fat trimmed off contains about 160 calories. U.S.D.A. bulletin 160 on Pork in Family Meals is available from the Extension Office. It gives tips on how to select good quality pork, how to store it properly, directions and timetable for cooking and recipes featuring po*k are also included. Call or visit the Extension Office /or this bulletin and other available free to you. Told in Rhyme The story of the Nativity and its meaning for mankind is a favored poetic theme, as is the holiday cheer of hearth and home. Poets as diverse as William Shakespeare, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, John Greerdeaf Whittier and T. S. Elliot have made their contributions. Numerous carols first were Well-Loved Carols Ring Out Everywhere "Joyto the world! The Lord is come!” ''It came upon the midnight clear, that glorious song of old.” "Silent night, holy night, All is calm, all is bright.” "Oh come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant.” Throughout Christendom, the words of -these well-loved carols are familiar even to little children, and they’ll be heard this Christmas wherever carolers get together. "Joy to the World” was written by Isaac Watts (167417&8), English-hymnist. Watts, who is known as the creator of the modern hymn, wrote nearly 600 hymns. Many of these still appear in Protestant hymnals, says the Encyclopedia Americana. "It Came Upon the Midnight Clear” is the work of Edmund H. Sears, a Unitarian minister in Massachusetts, more than a century ago. Perhaps the most famous of Christmas carols, "Silent Night” was first sung on Christmas Eve, 1818, to guitar music. Mice in the bellows had silenced the organ of a tiny Austrian church. Father Joseph Mohr met the challenge by writing "Silent Night.” His organist composed a melody for guitar. Father Mohr’s inspirationaside from the mice-t-was the* vast, still beauty of the snowy mountains around the village. "Oh come, all ye faithful” is translated from the Latin, r « r * ' I 3t fame sp eit tlif mtSnigtsf tfcsr.

Historians say it may have been written by Saint Bonaventure, in the 13th century. IT’S LEGAL Alabama was the first U.S. state to make Christmas a legal holiday, in 1836. READY FOR YULE "Christmas tree” is the actual name of a plant that grows in New Zealand. Christians Celebrate Holy Day With Prayer and Thanksgiving For those who celebrate Christinas as a holy day, the holiday is greeted with rejoicing, with prayer and thanksgiving, in church and private devotions. The word "greeting” has a special significance here, for herald angels singing to shepherds in the fields and a star shining in the heavens truly brought greetings—according to the Revised Standard Version of the Bible, "good news of great joy which will come to all people.” * * Long before the December 25 birth date of Christ was celebrated in devotions, it had marked a season set aside for another kind of greeting. In Northern Europe, Teutonic tribes of pagan times greeted the rebirth of the sun, of the winter solstice. Earliest celebrations of Christmas combined some of ; the ancient pagan traditions. By association with Christian beliefs, old customs of greeting the sun became symbolic of a recognition—a greeting of faith, hope and life eternal. Intangible Gifts Are Bringing Best Blessings, in Abundance Among the treasures and pleasures of Christmas, gifts loom large—as all who greet the Yuletide as a season of laughter and a time to be glad of heart well know. Tangible gifts, large and small, have their place in the holiday scheme of things. They’re the outgoing expression of the generous Christmas spirit. It’s the intangible gifts, though, that seem to shine most radiantly, Christmas Yule Lives In Legend And Lore Twinkling on trees, glowing from windows, glittering everywhere, Christmas lights reflect, today, the candles of an earlier time. A candle in the window can light the Christ Child on his way, says Irish legend. Nativity scenes in homes and churches depict the animals of the Manger—and on Christmas Eve, the cattle, the sheep and all the animals present at the Nativity are given the gift of speech. So says the lore of Christmas. Blossoming on the holiday scene, greens and flowers spread their beauty and fragrance, reminding all of the living wonder of Christmas. In legend, all flowers bloom at midnight on Christmas Eve, just as they did more than 2,000 years’ago. The legend and lore of Christmas expresses the simple faith that lies at the heart of this happy, holy time. Some of the most delightful of legends are told in carols. From France comes the "Carol of the Birds.” Its words recount how the birds flew to Bethlehem to behold the Christ Child. Each bird, as it flew, sang a special song of praise and rejoicing. There’s a "Carol of the after Christmas. The delighted smiles of children and the wonder in their eyes, the privilege of aiding the less fortunate, the opportunity to cherish and strengthen friendships and family ties, the renewed spirituality, the solid foundations of health, happiness and love, faith and hope—these are the intangible gifts. Blessed indeed is the Christmas that brings an abundance of such gifts! Flowers,” too. Summoned to the presence of the newborn King, every flower blossomed, and each blossom was a symbol of the Little One’s virtues. Seafaring peoples, in their own way, related nature’s wonders to the miracle of the Nativity, through carols.

Public for their easy application of ready-to-use products. “And,” reported R. H. Gruenhagen, a Virginia Tech professor and Extension specialist in chemicals, drugs and pesticides, “the average American realizes the aerosol can may be a blessing or a bomb.” Gruenhagen told of a recent industry survey indicating 2,622 billion aerosol or pressurized containers were filled in 197Q. Personal and household products lead the list. Also available in pressure cans were; paints, other coatings, industrial products, pesticide sprays and foods. “Attesting to their popularity is their use in an average family on an average day. Father started the day using shaving lather frpm an aerosol can. Another product tamed his unruly hair. He also used an aerosol deodorant and another product to disinfect a raw spot on his toe. theatre Saturday night at Hay Loft in Manassas where they saw a presentation of “Cabaret.” “Mom started her day by serving' a regular breakfash and topping it off with sliced fresh peaches with topping from an aerosol can. “Junior dropped some bacon on his clean trousers. The spots came right off when he applied spot remover from a pressure can. * “Dad used Mom’s aerosol glass cleaner on his windshield. “Mom used a pressuried deicer to help defrost the freezer, aerosol oven cleaner, cans of dust remover, furniture polish and floor wax during her day’s housework. She also used a spray hair net to protect her permanent from being mussed. “An aerosol can of ant killer took care of one problem while a Tlea killer made the dog comfortable. Father got his lawn and igarden chores started when he used a canned herbicide to spot-treat some weeds while Junior used an aerosol insecticide on the shrubbery,” the Extension specialist said. “The 2.6 billion aerosol containers filled during 1970 provide roughly a dozen containers for every man, woman and child in the United States,” Gruenhagen said. “The cans can be either bombs or blessings. They are time savers. But. by their very nature, they are po Greetings Happy families, happy season— it’s Christmas! Thanks for all your good will.

And anything under pressure can explode if it is mishandled. Therefore, the user is urged to follow a few simple rules.” declared the specialist.

There is usually seme pressure left, even after the product is used up. Never throw it into a trash fire, or place the can — empty, full or partially full — near such heats as a fire, a radiator or the inside of a car on warm summer days. It can explode to harm those nearby.” Gruenhagen continued. ‘‘Dispose of empty aerosol cans where children cannot come into contact with them. Read the labels and heed all warnings. “Many aerosol containers look alike. Be certain you use the right one,” he urged. r . For Washington Club Mrs. Turner Hostess Mrs. L. J.

Begins in Italy Christmas belongs to the people. So' thought St. Francis of Assisi. His way of helping his Italian parishioners grow closer to Christmas was to create the very first praesepe, or Christmas crib. His carol, "The Song of the Creatures,” made the Nativity still more real to them since it told of the lowly animals which were part of their lives and livelihood. All this happened early in the 13th century. From that time, the idea of the creche or crib has spread t vi rtually every country on the globe. Today, especially in Latin America and Europe, the manger scene sets the theme for a holy and happy Christmastide. CS^EEnnes at Christmas time... Valley Music Company 131 W. Davis St. Culpeper, Va.

Agent The Culpeper folks have invited us to join them on a one-day bus trip to the Pennsylvania Farm Show at Harrisburg on Wednesday, January 12. One of the annual agricultural classics of the East, the Pennsylvania Farm Show has thirteen acres under roof. Big events of the day will-be judging of the beef cattle classed’ and 'the horse pulling contest. Of course, there are many other things to see. Just to look over the farm machinery and equipment display would take at least a half a day. Then there are the usual swine and sheep exhibits.

As a tropical plant, poinsettias like plenty of water and warmth—70 to80 degrees. Be sure to keep these plants in a warm place at night. Though they blaze with fiery-red-colored balls, Jerusalem cherries are rather cool natured. For them, the temperature should be held at 60 to 65 degrees. Avoid overwatering.

How about getting together with a couple of your friends and joining us. The bus fare is $9.00 and a nine dollar deposit is required at the time you make your reservations. Reservations will be welcomed until the bus is filled. We will board the bus in Culpeper at 6:20 a.m. and return about 11 p.m. Now as the year draws to a close we pause and reflect on the year almost gone. In the final analysis, it is not just the mountains, rolling farm lands, flooded streams and relatively clean and uncluttered landscape that makes Rappahannock such an enjoyable place to work and live, but most of all it is her people. Miss Ruby, Kay Webb and I join in thanking you for your many kindnesses shown us throughout the year and in wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Rural America Turns the Key The latchstring is out no more in rural America. Small towns and rural communities, where unlocked doors have traditionally been a neighborly way of life, are finally following the lead of big cities and suburbs. In the face of increasing burglaries and other crimes, they are now turning the key and buying better locks. In the last five years, say the Associated Locksmiths of America, there has been a boom in lock sales —up 100 percent. Locks are better than ever, but there’s still no such thing as a lock that can’t be picked. Through history, better locks have been 'invented because of better burglars, the National Geographic Society says. And the earliest lockpicks may have been stout crowbars or heavy hammers. Egyptians Had Them Leeks probably were in use earlier than the one drawn on a 4,000-year-old Egyptian wall. Big and cumberson, it required a key looking something like a giant’s toothbrush, made of wood. Inserted in a slit in the lock, the key’s vertical pegteeth lifted pins out of the way so a door bar could be withdrawn. The Greeks invented locks that could be opened from the other side of doors through the world’s first keyholes. There was one major disadvantage: the keys resembled grain harvesters’ sickles, not only in shape but in size. Turning the handle of one of these keys shoved through the door activated the bolt and pulled it out of the way to unlock the door or pushed it into the keeper to lock it. Romans combined both Egyptian and Greek locks, and also invented the padlock, which became a great favorite since it ended the burden of carrying large sickle keys hooked over the shoulder. First Skeleton Key Lack of pockets in Roman togas mothered the invention of a ring key designed to be carried slipped over a finger. The first skeleton key soon followed. Another lock making its appearance in the ancient world was the warded lock, still used today, although advised only to assure privacy and not security. Inserted into the keyhole, the key cannot be turned to open the lock unless special individulaized slots have been cut in it, allowing it to swing past JWr?

Pulling a string that had been threaded through a mnall door hole lifted the latch bad. Withdrawing the string locked the door from the inside. English tumbler locks, invented 200 years ago, were much harder to pick than earlier models. The American cylinder lock, first produced during the Civil War, with its characteristic sawtooth key is extensively used today. Tomorrow’s burglar may have to be an electronics or computer expert to open the newest locks, some still not yet on sale. They are keyless, and programmed only to open with the correct push-button combination, cr when the lock’s brain box identifies the householder’s fingerprints, or recognizes his voice as he speaks to it — hopefully commanding "Open sesame!” Christmas At Christmas, we send greetings and good wishes to all.

Security Notes People are sometimes puzzled about the social security lumpsum death benefit because it isn’t clear to them who gets it and why the amount can vary, according to Mrs. Hazel F. Crumpton, social security district manager in Winchester. “The death payment is usually made to the widow or widower of a deceased worker who was insured under social security,” she said. “But if there is no widow or widower who was living in the same household with the worker at the time of death, the payment may be made, under certain conditions, directly to the funeral home or to the person who paid the funeral expenses.” “The amount of the social security death benefit is three times what the deceased worker would have received as a monthly retirement benefit at 65~with a maximum of $255,’’.Mrs. Crumpton said. “The amount can vary from $211.20 to $255. The average is about $242,” she said. The death payment is paid only when a worker who was insured under social security dies. It isn’t payable if a dependent of an insured worker dies-unless the dependent himself had worked long enough under social security to be insured on his own record. Mrs. Crumpton gave this example: A retired couple receive monthly social security benefits on the husband’s earnings record. The wife never worked under social security. If the husband dies, a lump-sum death payment would be made to his wife because he was insured under social security. If the wife died, a payment would not be made. She had received retirement benefits on her husband's record, but she was not herself insured under social security. “Last year, the Social Security Administration paid $293.6 million in death benefits on the records of 1,220,248 deceased workers,” Mrs. Crumpton added. “If someone in your family dies, be sure to check with the Winchester social security office for information about the death payment as well as for in Christmas brings to mind the peacefulness and wonder of the Holy Night when Christ came into the world.

East St. Culpeper, Va. 825-1755 It’s Entertainment That carols have always been popular music, in the modem sense, is illustrated by the mystery plays of medieval England, say the editors of the New Book of Knowledge. At first, carols were sung between the acts, just as music might be provided during intermission, at a play or movie. Soon, people demanded more. In response to their enthusiasm, carols were sung on stage, as part of the entertainment. The leader had a portable organ and led the singers in a procession across the stage. Swept away by the spirit of the carols, the audience sometimes joined in, and the procession moved into the streets, singing. And today, that same enthusiasm leads people everywhere to join in the singing of beloved carols. NOSING AHEAD , Dasher? Dancer?

Colonel E. W. Burgess. Superintendent of State Police, warned today. “Permitting a child below legal driving acre to take a powered vehicle on the highway to be faced with all situations an automobile driver faces without the protection of a steel body and the stability of four wheels is a dangerous procedure,” he said and added that so far this year in Virginia five young people have died on minibikes. Colonel Burtre.ss observed that all too often minibike operation on public streets and highwavs is illegal since thev are legally motor vehicles and laws governing motor vehicles must be observed. He said they must be registered. bear license plates and be insured, or have the uninsured motorist fee paid on them. Operators and passengers must wear helmets, unless the wheels are less than eight inches in diameter. Operators must wear goggles or face masks, if the vehicle is not eauipped with a windshield, and obey all traffic regulations that drivers of automobiles must obey, as far as they can possiblv apply. They must be officially inspected every six months and must have such items as horns, lights, rear-view mirrors and brakes which are capable of stopping the vehicle at a speed of 20 mph within 30 feet. An operator must have a valid license to operate a minibike and these cannot be issued until asre 16 and then only if the applicant has completed a stateapproved course in driver education and the motorcvcle testing proerram of the Division of Motor Vehicles. He said also that parents who permit an unlicensed child to operate a minibike owned by the parent risk civil and legal action under Virginia law (Code 46.1-386). Askincr for parental caution, Colonel Burgess said that while minibikes may be legally operated on private property without fulfilling the outlined conditions, the temptation for a child A nativity scene was among the presentations Friday composing the annual Christmas assembly at the local elementary school. to secretly take one out on the road is often too trreat for him to resist.
