Estes and Trooper W.A. Buntin — who were on the scene within minutes — the other youngsters went into the house and told Mrs. Miller that “their sister had fallen and was smoking.” Mrs. Miller went to the assistance of the child and was dealt the same fate; she succumbed to the 7,200 volt charge. MRS. MILLER’S mother, Mrs. Rosie Frazier Clatterbuck, 59, went to investigate the situation when her daughter failed to return to the hbuse.

The game was close all the way, with neither team acquiring more than a five-point lead. Central led most of the first half with their fine guard Sonny Jackson.

The steel insulator pins were bent and the line forced loose. THE WIRES fell into se cond growth brush causing no interruption of service in the area at that time.

A LOT OF US GET a little edgy over the prospect of a change in something old and familiar — especially when it involves an old friend. MRS. SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 introduction The new publishers of the Rappahannock News want all of the paper’s old friends to rest assured that any" changes that might be made are not going to be drastic ones. In fact, there probably won’t be a lot of changes at all, not where basic considerations are concerned. The change in the size of the newspaper which confronted News readers this week might seem to belie the statements in the preceding paragraphs, but older readers remember that the News was once this same size, anyway. A most important point that the new publishers want to convey is that the Rappahannock News will, continue to be a weekly for Rappahannock county. We’re proud of the New’s status a^ THE paper in Rappahannock, and certainly nothing will be done to diminish in any way that role of the paper. THE NEW’S “SISTER PUBLICATION,” the Piedmont Virginian, was founded last spring on the premise that the beautiful northern Piedmont area is a place which deserves a staunch friend and champion. The Virginian has been interested in all activities related to enhancing the good life in this part of the country as it embraces a broad “community of interest” transcending several counties — Fauquier, Loudoun, Western Prince William, and certainly Rappahannock. What better companion for the Virginian to have in this endeavor than the Rappahannock News! This gaggle of wading Mallards was spotted at William J. Keim’s tree farm at Amissville. It’s been so warm around here, who needs to migrate? (Photo by 1 Danny Marzani) RAPP CHATS TRADITIONALLY this is the time of year when we pause to take inventory. Figure out our income taxes. Study over our farm records. Compare 1971 gross and net income with the proceeding year’s. And make optomistic plans for the year just beginning. Of course, good records are essential ifor accurate decision making. And the right decisions are the basis for successful plans. My guess is that there are a few New Year’s resolutions being made about now to keep better farm records in 1972. ; Just to help you keep your New Year’s resolution, we have a limited supply of V.P.I. Farm Record Books in the office. These records are versatile and can be set up on a cash expense and receipt basis, or you can go into more detail. Also, included: a record of crops and land use; a financial summary; monthly feed distribution record; livestock pro By RAP OWIN9S Extension Agent, Agriculture duction record; and a gestation table and breeding record. , THERE IS A FARM inventory record book#available; and while you are in the office you might as well take a copy of the Farmer’s Tax Guide, Income and Self Employment Tax, 1972 Edition. And to fielp you with your income taxes we will have an Income Tax Workshop on Thursday, February 3. The morning session 10 a.m. to 12 a.m. will be geared to all people of the county with little or no emphasis on Farmers’ tax return. The 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. session will be devoted especially to farmers’ taxproblems. Don’t forget the bus tour to the Pennsylvania Farm Show next Wednesday, January 12. Reservations must be made by this Friday. January 7. □ Shenandoah Park tokjoin centennial celebration 0 SUPERINTENDENT R. Taylor Hoskins has announced that plans are well under way for Shenandoah National Park to take part in the 1972 Centennial of National Parks. The Centennial of National Parks. The Centennial commemorates the creation of the first national park, Yellowstone, in 1872. A special committee, with E. Ray Schaffner as Centennial Coordinator, has planned programs and activities around the Centennial theme — “Parks, Man, and His Environment.” All main entrance signs to the Park will note the Centennial observance. All Park bulletin boards will have special centennial messages. Also tentatively scheduled are art shows, photographic contest, the publishing of a new book on Shenandoah. A special effort will be made to have everyone in the Park use returnable containers and to use less throw-away items. The Park also plans to have a special exhibit about Shenandoah and the Centennial to be available for special meetings and fairs. “This year of the Centennial promises to be a banner year for Shenandoah National Park through r service to the visitors and the surrounding communities. Although Shenandoah is only 36 years: old, it carries on the tradition of all national parks which began in Yellowstone in 1872,” Hoskins said. .DAILY ENTRANCE and user fee collection will continue in the National Park System pending congressional action on extension of the Golden Eagle Passport, an annual $10 entrance permit which expired at midnight Friday, December 31, 1971, Hoskins added. The National Park Service has notified all park superintendents that until Congress acts on amendments to the Land and Water Conservation Act, only daily fees will be collected. Pending legislation would provide for continuation of public sal£ of the Golden Eagle Annual Entrance Fee Permit. Daily entrance fees range from $1 to $3 a car at most parks and recreation areas. User fees vary from IOC for the elevator ride to the top of the Washington Monument to the $2 to $4 overnight camping charges in 86 areas of the National Park System which have designated campgrounds.

THIS WEEK marks an important milestone in the young life of the Piedmont Virginian. This week, the Virginian is being joined by the Rappahannock News, as sister publications of The Fauquier Publishing Company, a locally-owned corporation chartered in the Spring of 1971 to inaugurate^ a new look in newspapering in the beautiful Piedmont area of Northern Virginia. We’re naturally quite excited about the whole business — for what it can mean for our readers, for what it can do for our advertisers, and for the additional challenge it presents to the staffs of the two newspapers. WE ARE certainly looking forward to this challenge, and will welcome any suggestions from the readers of both newspapers for ways in which we might perform an even wider and more comprehensive service than the Piedmont-wide coverage we’ve already undertaken — sometimes to flattering appraisals from our friends. AND BUSINESSMEN interested in continuing to grow along with us in the northern Piedmont are cordially invited to inquire about combination advertising rates and other ways in which they might realize benefits from one of the area’s newest and most vital publishing enterprises. ^ Covering Piedmont Virginia

Rappahannock citizens dig deeper for taxes With state and local taxes on the rise in all parts of the country, to what extent are Rappahannock County residents affected? Are they paying more or less than people in other communities for local government services? According to the latest figures, they and everyone else are having to dig much deeper than before to meet the increased cost of such services. For Americans as a whole, the* cost of state and local government opS erations averaged $427 per capita in the past fiscal year, an increase of $47 over the prior year. For residents of Rappahannock County, the tax load was approximately $190 per capita. Elsewhere in the State of Virginia, it was $340, or $26 more than the year be fore. The average was $352 throughout the South Atlantic States. The findings are based upon state-by-state breakdowns of Commerce Department data. They were made by the Tax Foundation and by the Commerce Clearing House, authorities on government finances. Their figures show that it takes much more than in previous years to operate - the various state, county and municipal governments and provide people with adequate police protection, education, sanitation, and health, roads and other needs. In 32 of the 50 states the tax load has more than doubled in the past ten years and has become much heavier in some areas than in others. The range at present is from a low of HOMEMAKERS’ HINTS By KAY E. WEBB Extension Agent, Home Economics BOTULISM, AN ACUTE FOOD POISONING which can be fatal, is often caused by improperly canned foods. At the first sign of spoiling, canned foods should be disposed of where they do no harm to man or animal. In the past there have been reports of botulism in commercially canned foods. This could cause us to forget that there is a greater risk in home processed foods. From 1925 to 1963, no botulism was reported involving commercial foods. During that same period hundreds of outbreaks were reported from home canned foods. Dr. G.A. Mac lnnis, Extension Specialist, Veterinary Science, recently reported the case of a thrifty housewife, who lost 12 hogs and several chickens which had access to some spoiled canned corn. The woman had noticed the jars were spoiled and poured the contents into the feed for the hogs and later threw some out for the chickens. TAKE STEPS TO BE SURE about spoiled products. Home canned vegetables should always be brought to a boil before they are tasted. Heating usually makes an odor of spoilage more noticable. . Botulism has an odor similar to that of rancid butter. If the food should be spoiled dispose of it in such a way that it can not be eaten by man or beast. .

The high rates in certain sections of the country are attributed to special local conditions, such as unusually large welfare costs, housing problems and the like. In addition, because of inflation, the co£t of supplies, equipment and labor has been mounting rapidly, forcing local governments to look for new sources of revenue to keep solvent. In all, taxes in the a mount of $86.8 billion were collected by state and local governments in the year, a whopping $10.1 billion more than in the previous year. In Rappahannock County they reached an estimated total of $950,000. □ A few of the Jaycees and guests who attended the New Year’s Eve dance at Panorama are seen enjoying the breakfast served them at Sperryville fire hall by Baptist Church members of Sperryville.

72 Wheat Program allows flexible decisions The 1972 Wheat SetAside Program works in harmony with similar provisions of the recentlyrevealed feed grain program, according to Thomas R. Taylor, chairman, Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation (ASC) Committee. Taylor says that all of the programs have one thing in common — “they offer more decision-making freedom to farmers.” The ASC committee chairman pointed out that the change in direction for farm program policies toward a* market-oriented agriculture began with the 1971 programs. The changes were made possible by provisions in the 1970 Agricultural Act. Key features were elimination of rigid quotas and penalties. Many farmers had already committed themselves to farming patterns for the 1971 crop when the 1970 Agricultural Act was passed. Despite the short time between last year’s program announcements and cropping decisions, however, many farmers took advantage of the op-, portunity to use their own good judgement and made dramatic shifts in their cropping patterns. These shifts in crop-, ping patterns were reflected strongly among wheat growers.

On the other hand, southern plains growers planted more oats as a pasture crop for their ever-growing livestock industry. Farmers may make even more of these shifts after a year’s experience operating under the increased decision-making freedom of the set-aside programs. The major change in the 1972 wheat program—over 1971—is the more liberal substitution allowed. Under the substitution provision, a farmer may substitute wheat for feed grains or feed grains for wheat* Acreage planted ter feed grain or soybeans, will be considered planted to wheat to prevent loss of allotment. Acreage devoted to wheat or soybeans will be considered planted to feed grain to prevent loss of the feed grain base. » A producer with a feed grain base and a Wheat allotment can plant his eligible cropland acreage to wheat, corn, grain sorghum, barley, or soybeans without loss ot Dase ana allotment. Also, he can receive both wheat certificates and feed grain payments 9 if he signs up in both programs, rmeets the set-aside requirements of both programs and maintains his farm’s conserving base. Under the current program, the farmer may plant as much wheat or any other non-quota crop as he wishes after he has met his acreage set-aside and conserving base requirements or he can choose not to plant any wheat. Producers are not required to plant w^ieat to obtain certificates. However, failure to plant or be considered to have planted at least 90 percent of a farm’s 1972 domestic allotment of either wheat, corn, grain sorghum, barley or soybeans can result in a reduction in the 1973 allotment by as much as 20 percent. If not wheat or substitute is planted for 3 consecutive years, the entire allotment can be lost.

New Medicare hospital insurance rule explained Starting January 1, the deductible under the Medicare hospital insurance program will be $68, according to Mrs. Hazel F. Crumpton, social security district manager in Winchester. “This means that the Medicare patient admitted to the hospital after December 31 will be responsible for the first $68 of the hospital bill,” she said. The deductible now is $60.’ “The $8 increase in the deductible is the result of a review of hospital costs during 1970,” Mrs. Crumpton said. Under the Medicare law, the deductible must be adjusted to keep the amount in line with the average cost of one day’s stay in the hospital. The present deductible of $60 will remain in effect for all Medicare hospital New Year party Mrs. Lile Sisk of Sperryville was hostess at a party at her home on New Year’s Eve.

Any Medicare patient admitted to the hospital on or before December 21 will be responsible for the first $60 of his bill. “Because of the increase in hospital costs,” Mrs. Crumpton said, “three other increases in the amount patients pay under the Medicare hospital insurance program are required, beginning January 1.” “For hospital stays of more than 60 days,” she said, “the Medicare patient will pay $17 a day, instead of $15, for the 61st through the 90th day.” “For a post-hospital stay of more tljan 20 days in an extended cabe facility, the patient wilF pay $8.50 a rv .\m i * -A: day, instead of$7.50forthe 21st through the 100th day. “For “lifetime reserve” days, the patient will pay $34 instead of $30, for each day used. “The 1971 rates will remain in effect for people whose benefit periods under Medicare started before the end of this year,” Mrs. Crumpton said. “Among othe r factors, t-JL^ !

Expenditures for softwood increased 5.6 percent to $359.1 million and hardwood expenditures were up 3.3 percent to $72.6 million. Forester Vernam stated that more pine must. be grown in the South if the demand for raw material by the South’s wood using industries is to be met. “Intensive forest management must be applied to the South’s woodlands and more plantations of pine must be established to meet future needs.” Vernam also reported that; there are two programs in Virginia offering cost sharing assistance to the landowners interested in reforestation programs to establish pine plantations for timber production. “These programs are the new Reforestation of Timberlands Program enacted by the Virginia General Assembly of 1971 and the Rural Environmental Assistance Program of the Agriculture Stabilization and Conservation Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Both programs offer cost sharing incentives to landowners to encourage tree planting and good forest management practices.” Landowners interested in helping to establish and develop the South’s “Third Forest” by reforestation projects and better management of their woodlands may obtain information on cost incentive programs and general forest management assistance by writing the Virginia Division of Forestry, P.O.
