Rappahannock News, March 30, 1972

Feeder Calf Association may join Culpeper MEMBERS of Rappahannock Feeder Calf Association have tentatively agreed to dispense with their annual calf sale and become associated with and join the Culpeper association at Culpeper Enterprises. This action was taken during the annual banquet of the group held Friday. Newbill Miller, the local association’s president, chaired the dinner and business meeting which convened at Hampton Inn. James Yates, presently residing in Front Royal, was absent due to illness. But he was recognized for' his leadership and service to the organization during the past 32 years. An appropriate token of appreciation from the producers will be presented Yates at a later date. SINCE the Front Royal Livestock Market was destroyed by fire last year, the producers were faced with a decision of relocating the sale this fall. After taking into consideration that two markets are planned for Front Royal and neither is firmly committed as to time of opening — and a number of calves would be lost regardless of location and other economic factors — a group voted to join the Culpeper facility. This vote was cast with the provision that the directors of both the Rappahannock and Culpeper associations could reach a mutually satisfactory marketing agreement.

Virginia Highway Department employes were busy Tuesday doing some spring cleaning. Workmen, using a tank of water, nozzle and broom, washed the road signs in Rappahannock. Troopers investigate rash of minor accidents TROOPER R. A. Brines reported a rash of minor traffic incidents, the first of which occurred last Wednesday, March 22 on Route 626 east of Washington. Philip Moreau of Arlington lost control of his 72 Ford pickup on the wet road and struck a bridge. Trooper Baines estimated the damage to the vehicle at $800 to $1,000. Friday, a two-car collision occurred at Rediviva on Route 211 west of Washington. Fred Hensley of Orange was cited for driving under the influence and reckless driving after he collided with James Corbin of Reva in a 64 Buick. Hensley was travelling east in a 71 Ford pickup when, according to Trooper Baines, he ran into the left lane * and struck Corbin in the left side. The truck went up the bank and turned over on its side in the westbound lane. Damage was estimated at about $400 to each vehicle. A 71 Ford owned and operated by Miss Ellen Mustoe of Flint Hill sustained an estimated $200 damage to the front end when she struck a large dog on Rt. 626 east of Washington. The animal, an Irish Wolfhound owned by Fred Welty, and valued at $500, was killed. This was investigated by Mr. Baines Saturday night. A CAR and farm tractor were involved in a collision in Amissville Tuesday at the intersection of Routes 211 and 643. Kenneth Leroy Griffith of Washington, D.C. operating a 69 Pontiac attempted to pass the tractor which apparently began to make a left turn. The Ford tractor, owned by John A. Tapp of Amissville, was operated by Fred D. Johnson Jr. Damage to the car was set at $150 and Johnson was charged with giving an improper signal. □

Entered as Second Class Mail at the Post Office in Washington, Virginia. Subscriptions (in advance) $3 in Rappahannock and adjacent counties: $3.50 East Coast: $4 Midwest: $4.50 West Coast MRS. SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Clean up time THERE WAS A TIME when spring was heralded by robins, bursting buds and the opening of trout season. Now the season is ushered in with clean-up campaigns. All the good citizens have to turn out to clean up the mess created during the year by the slobs. And who are these slobs? The reasons why some people will thoughtlessly litter beautiful countryside — or tidy town or village streets, for that matter — defies the deepest reasoning of psychologists. We even use the word “thoughtlessly” with caution; for all we know, maybe they do it deliberately. How else can you explain it? The famous naturalist John Muir once theorized that many if not most human beings don’t love the great outdoors and the beauties of nature, they actively hate it. MAYBE HATE IS the reason a man will drive west along Route 211, facing the fantastic mountain vista that unfolds before him, and instead of drinking in the grandeur of it all merely drinks ihe last swallow of his beer and ... throws the empty out the window. Or what about the guy who tosses out a bagful of take-out hamburger leavings in the F-T Valley? He must hate it; if he loved it, he’d never do that to the place. Or the housewife who empties the contents of the car ashtray along Harris Hollow road. She must detest the place. Or the teenager who wings a pop bottle out.of^his car as he zips (too fast) by Fletcher’s Mill. That kid must have a truly deep-seated animosity toward everything picturesque and eye-pleasing. IF SOMEBODY comes up with a better explanation, we’ll buy it. In the meantime, we urge everyone who loves Rappahannock, everyone who appreciates its rare beauty, who is proud to be a Virginian — one of the loveliest of states — to join in the clean up April 8. Maybe even the slobs will catch on this time. □ Planning meet A mass meeting for everyone participating in the county clean-up campaign is scheduled for Tuesday, April 4, at 8 p.m. in the Sperryville fire hall. At this time final planning for the allday clean up Saturday, April 8, will be completed. Every individual, young, old, male, female, will be expected to take part in the clean-up in his or her community. Only with 100 percent participation and cooperation of the citizens of Rappahannock County can a clean sweep be made and the beauty of the area be maintained. Once the roadsides and eyesores are cleaned up it will be the responsibility of each one to keep it that way. □ Barns Only a few readers identified the barn in the-4ast issue of this paper as that on Echo Hill Farm owned by Mrs. Jesse Ward located on Route 211 east of Washington. Miss Annie Miller Almond will receive the free subscription for her name was drawn from the six who sent in correct replies. Others who correctly named the barn were W.H. Lyne, Mrs. Richard D. Brown, Clifton Clark, Mrs. Frances Fincham and E.M. Tharp. Here we have another one. Letters to the editor Will we be 'Vepco County’? Editor: I have sent the following letter to Mr. Newbill Miller, chairman of the Board of Supervisors of Rappahannock County; the Governor’s Council on the Environment, and the Hon. D.F. Slaughter Jr. It is in regard to Vepco’s proposed 500,000 volt transmission line and reads as follows: “1 should like to call to the immediate attention of the Board of Supervisors the frightening rapidity with which the surveying for the above project is proceeding, with or without permission. “The publicity and attention given the smaller, now abandoned Pepco line through the center of the County may have somewhat obscured the dangers of this monstrous project. May I point out some considerations that should be of very real concern to the County, aside from the damages and heartbreak that would be suffered by those directly affected. “The present selected route affects virtually all of the land in Rappahannock County adjacent to the Rappahannock River. “It seems to me that this acreage is one of our County’s greatest assets, and we would be shortsighted indeed if we fail to do everything possible to preserve it. Its proximity to the Washington Metropolitan area makes it particularly attractive for estates and farmettes (50 acres and up). Land values have increased accordingly, thus raising the tax base without spoiling the natural and unpolluted beauty of the river. “The proposed Vepco line would drastically change the character of the river along the entire county border. The 235foot right-of-way with its 135-foot towers cutting through our woods and fields near the river and crossing it in two places would completely dominate the landscape, and the beautiful river will become insignificant in relation to it. “Our County was named for its river. Let’s do all we can to prevent its becoming VEPCO County.” Nicholas H. Shea Si Sez WE ARE APPROACHING the holiest day in all Christendom, Easter. It is a movable holiday like most of our holidays; only more so. It can come as early as March 22 or as late as April 25, or a variation of 34 days. It seems a pity that Easter, like Christmas, should be borrowed holidays that had their origin in paganism. From my research into the matter it seems that Astarte, (sometimes Estarte) goddess of love, sex, fertility or what have you; consort of Baal) was the goddess of this pagan holiday. She was also known as Astoroth, Eostre and Ishtar. Her symbols of fertility are young chickens, ducks and rabbits. Just look around you. Which predominates — Christian symbols or pagan? But, there is another side of the picture. There was an empty tomb. There was a Christ who came to teach us the WAY, that amid all the sham of a paganistic society we can find peace, a peace that they cannot understand. □

T H E L I T T L E F 0 X Development warning Real estate dealer cites Prince William’s plight DEVELOPERS of new subdivisions should bear 100 per cent of all the costs ' they incur to a county, a veteran real estate dealer in Prince William County has advised the Board of Supervisors of Rappahannock County. R. O. Bridges of Manassas also thinks developers should be charged “a building permit fee. . .based upon the cost of the construction of any new schools for any subdivision. ..or the developers be made to build the schools and then in turn ‘title over to the county.’” Bridges, who owns a farm in Rappahannock County, wrote that it “would break my heart to see your county chopped up with four houses per acre lots, or 12 townhouses per acre.” His letter, which was read at a recent meeting of the Rappahannock Supervisors, follows: I READ the recent article in The Rappahannock News, where your Highway Engineer urges the County to strengthen county ordinances; and having experienced a direct change in “New development ’ should absorb the total cost. . .the biggest cost being the purchase of school land, construction, and operating and main - tenance.” taxes to where the small taxpayer has paid for the greatest portion of growth in Prince William County (which has ranked in the top five counties of our entire United States for growth), 1 felt 1 should point out in this letter and itemize some of the principal problems we have been faced with so that your Board and Planning Commission might review, and if possible, to further strengthen the subdivision ordinance to prevent the Rappahannock Landowners from having to absorb and furline the pockets of the developers through the tax dollar. New development should absorb the total cost, which has not been the case in Fairfax and Prince William County; the biggest cost being the purchase of “Taxes in (Prince William) have increased in many instances over 2,000 per cent on businesses, in a seven to eight year period, and homes which were taxed $175 per year in our County are now being taxed $700 to $1,000 per year. . Spillman heads Co-op . AT THE ORGANIZATIONAL meeting of the Culpeper Farmers’ Co-operative, William A. Spillman Jr. was elected president. W.H. Hurt, retiring president, is 75 and has been president since 1964. The Co-operative has grown from $3,000,000 to $6,000,000 under Hurt’s leadership. Hurt retired earlier this year as president of the Virginia Baptist Home. The new president has been a director of the Culpeper Farmers’ Co-operative since 1957. He is owner and operator of the Spillman Farm Management Services. He was a member of the Culpeper County School Board, helped organize and was first chairman of the local soil conservation district. He also helped organize and was original director of the Culpeper Livestock Market. Earl S. Hawkins was re-elected vice-president, William Bywaters secretary-treasurer, John H. Willis assistant secretary-treasurer and James E. Cornett, general manager. school land, construction, and operating and maintenance. The subdivision ordinance should provide that streets, curb and guttering, sidewalks, playgrounds, parks, and all underground utilities, should be borne 100 percent by the developers and a building permit fee should be based upon the cost of the construction of any new schools for any subdivision and charged accordingly or the developers be made to build the schools and then in turn “title over to the County,” which could be maintained from the tax revenue from the new properties. LOUDOUN County is fighting one of the largest builders in the country, Levitt, and demanding them to either build the schools or turn the revenue funds over to the County for the County to build, to prevent having to tax the taxpayer this additional burden. Taxes in the County that 1 now live in have increased in many instances over 2,000 percent on businesses, in a seven to eight year period, and homes which were taxed $175 per year in our County are now being taxed $700 to $1,000 per year because the County has permitted builders to build subdivisions and the people of the County had to turn around and buy land to develop the school program. Our school budget has increased from $4,300,000 to $48,000,000, and the local taxpayers have paid the brunt of this budget. I PURCHASED a farm between Rappahannock and Washington for the rural setting your County offers, and it would break my heart to see your County chopped up with four houses per acre lots, or 12townhouses per acre, which would destroy one of the most beautiful counties in Virginia. ruling 20 years in the real estate business, 1 can appreciate the needs of people and the metropolitan area of Washington, D. C. having to develop; however, with good strong development ordinances you could forestall this kind of growth for many years and let other counties that do not care take this growth as developers will go there first. Please do not let this happen to Rappahannock. You have a priceless treasure, fight to keep what you have. If 1 can be of any help in working with any of your commissions, kindly advise. □ Rappahannock Formers Co-Op Come in and see the new New Simplicity Sovereign® with 15 hardworking horses. 48" non-scalp rotary mower follows the ground instead of the tractor.

The record feedgram base represented on signed farms totals 107.4 million acres, 14 percent larger than the previous record of 94 million acres set in 1969. With this base acreage on participating farms, feed grain crop production potential in 1972 should remain within bounds and a reduction in carryover may be achieved. All voluntary additional set-aside acreage offered by producers under two options will be accepted. The set-aside acreage offered for the 1972 program totals 37 million acres, the largest ever except for the record 39.5 million acres of diversion signed up for the 1970 program. OF THE total feed grain base of 107,352,304 acres on enrolled farms this year, 72,344,537 acres are corn base, 21,129,301 acres represent grain sorghum base, and 13,878,466 acres are barley base. The corn base exceeds the record final total of 72,043,493 acres set in 1971; that for barley compares with a 1969 record final total of 13,176,056 acres; and the 1972 sorghw*) base compares with the 1971 record total of 21, - 342,356 acres. Barley was not included in the 1971 program. Feed grain base acreage of farms listed on registers, but whose enrollment was not completed in time for this preliminary final report, totals about 608 thousand acres, of which corn represents 394 thousand acres, sorghum, 54 thousand acres and barley, 160 thousand. □ DEEDS OF RECORD T.C.

For best results, plant All-American vegetanies This is one of a series on home horticulture by W. P. Judkins, Virpnia Tech Extension horticulturist. YOU WILL have a better garden if you plant some of the All-American Selection vegetables. These are varieties which have been the best in test gardens throughout the U.S., Canada and Mexico. Three new vegetables were selected for introduction in 1972. The new winners are Victory cucumber which is a productive, disease-resistant type, and two red cabbages, Ruby Balt, an early variety, and Red Head, a later type. The Victory cucumber seems to have real prom ise for home gardeners. It is tolerant or resistant to several troublesome diseases such as anthracnose, leaf spot, mildew, mosaic, and scab. It can be grown quite easily without the use of pesticide sprays. The Victory is a fine slicing cucumber with excellent flavor, and attractive, dark green color. The first fruit can be picked in about 60 days after planting. The plants will continue to produce over a long season. The Ruby Ball is described as an outstanding early red cabbage. It produces solid, ball-shaped heads, with a short core, and nice sweet flavor. Red Head is a later maturing red cabbage with a compact head of excellent quality. Both of these cabbages are delicious when used raw as a salad or coleslaw, or as a cooked vegetable. THE ALL-AMERICAN winners of previous years should also be considered.

Farm Bureau head nits supermarket advertising THE VIRGINIA Farm Bureau, which represents more than 25,000 farmers, today took issue with two chain supermarkets on who sets the prices for meat. Robert B. Delano, VFBF president, said “it would appear that two powerful chain stores are seeking consumer support in an effort to gain absolute con trol of meat prices.” In two full-page newspaper advertisements, Giant Foods and Safeway Stores have urged people to buy less red meat. “This is totally unfair to our red meat producers,” Delano stated. “It is not the farmer who sets the prices. In fact, the price to the farmer has not in OBITUARIES Carrie Smedley Mrs. Carrie Smedley of Front Royal died March 20, 1972 at Warren Memorial Hospital.

He also said that it would indicate these powerful chain stores were attempting to keep the income of the red meat producer at a “pleasant level.” “PRODUCERS are disappointed that the agribusiness segment has taken this position against the producers of red meat,” the farm leader declared. “The farmer is not the one who sets meat prices,” Delano said. “This type of advertisement is attempting to make the farmer the scapegoat, and is ducking the real issue. With the farmer paying almost double in production costs, the slight increase that the farmer gets cannot be considered inflationary.” Delano said that the farmer is only receiving about a 7 per cent increase over what he was getting for food about 20 years ago. “When two of the largest chain stores initiate such a campaign at the same time, it would appear that there is a concentrated effort to exert pressure on the consumer in the direction of price fixing,” stated Delano. HE RECALLED that the last time there were price controls on food, there was rationing, hording and black marketing. “We do not want to go down this road again,” he added. “It is not the American way.” When questioned about food prices contributing to the cost of living, he pointed out that food prices are still below the increases set by other items in the home maker’s budget. □ Y 1 The Savings Go To You!

LIBRARY LINES Bring Me A Unicorn — Diaries and Letters of Anne Morrow Lindbergh — “draws a vivid picture of Anne Lindbergh’s formative years, as a school girl and a college student and as a member of a highly gifted remarkably close-knit family, one that was loving but also constantly challenged her to perform on the highest of levels ... When Anne met Charles Lindbergh, recently returned from his historic transatlantic flight, he instantly captured her imagination and radically changed her outlook. The development of their relationship is closely and movingly linked to the newly discovered world of flying, with the sky as a backdrop for an extraordinary courtship. Anne grows into a clear-sighted and courageous woman of captivating charm, humor, and spirit.” Walden Two by B.F. Skinner “describes an experimental Utopian community, whose members enjoy a pleasant rural setting and work only a few hours. a day, without being compelled to do so. Their children are cared for and educated by specialists with due regard for the lives they are going to lead. Food is good and sanitation and medical care excellent. They have plenty of leisure and many ways of enjoying it. Art, music and literature flourish. Scientific research is encouraged. It is not only a good life but a fe isible one — within the reach of intelligent men of good will who know how to apply the principles which are emerging from a scientific study of human behavior.” □ Drug policy praised Judge C.F. Germelman of the Seventh Regional Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court has commended the School Boards and the school personnel of Rappahannock and Warren Counties for the preparation and adoption of a policy relating to use, possession and sale of illegal drugs. In a letter to the school superintendent which was shared with the Rappahannock Board, Judge Germelman stated that the Rappahannock policy was a clear, intelligent and thought-out approach regarding drugs. The policy has much to commend it the Judge stated, in that: “It clearly sets out the duties of all school personnel; it adopts a ‘no nonsense’ approach to the problem, viewing it as, for the most part, criminal conduct—which it is.” The policy incorporates the use of police authorities as an important step to be taken by an administrator where he has reason to believe a violation of law may exist, “thereby assuring that interrogation, searches and other incidents of investigation will be done properly, legally and professionally.” The Rappahannock-Warren Drug Policy was prepared by committees of school personnel which included teachers, administrators and supervisors with suggestions from law enforcement officials. □ Old man lost For the second time in the past few months Castleton firemen have been called on to locate missing elderly persons.

County citizens to pay $885,000 federal taxes How much money will pour out of Rappahannock County, bound for Washington, when April 17, which is tax day this year, rolls around? Will local residents be tapped for more than they were last year, ’fohen their payment of personal taxes, including what they contributed «th rough withholding, amounted to $879,000 approximately? That was the total turned in, as estimated from statewide collections announced by the Treasury Department, and from an unofficial breakdown of the figures, based upon local UiMHinnHiiimiiimitHiHHiMiiiiniiMHmwi earnings. They show that personal income taxes collected throughout the State of Virginia came to $1,464, 000,000 and that residents of Rappahannock County produced some 0.06 percent of the total. Although the nation was in a period of recession during most of 1971, with many ^people partially or wholly unemployed, the 95 percent or so of the working force that did have steady jobs earned considerably more than they had in 1970. As a result, the government counts on the tax HHWIMIWWWMWMIIHMIIHMW I Clore Funeral Home [ I 4% I ' “The Home of Thoughtful Service” J 'Culpeper, Va. Phone 825-2361 { Ambulance Service 1 with Oxygen { haul this year reaching about $86.5 billion, which is nearly $300 million more than was collected last year. As for each individual community, the returns will be larger or smaller than before depending upon the change in the number of taxpayers and the change in total earnings in the period. In Rappahannock County, in line with the relative stability shown by the local area, this year’s tax payments are expected to reach nearly $885,000. The Administration’s budget for the next fiscal year, submitted to Congress in January, forecasts an expansion of the economy this year. It figures that personal income, nationally, will be around $924 billion, up $67 billion VILLAGE SHOP Main St. - Flint Hill Collection of Records Tues. Wed. Fri.

On that presumption, it concludes that personal income taxes for the fiscal year beginning July 1st should reach $93.9 billion, or $7.4 billion more than is being collected this year. In Rappahannock County, overall earnings will have to rise by about 8.6 percent, it is calculated, for the local population to meet its share of this increase. □ Jill Lees White weds Thomas S.

Over half, or some 508,250 trout are to be stocked under combined state and federal programs by opening day. An additional 306,800 trout are to be stocked in May followed by 204,100 to be rationed out during summer months and used for stocking the following fall and winter. About 75% of the stocked trout are rainbows, 20% are brooks and 5%-are brown trout. The proportion of browns increases later in the season. TROUT FISHERMEN are required to have a special $1 trout license in addition to their regular fishing license. Those fishing on National Forests must also have a National Forest stamp. Funds from both of these sources help finance the trout stocking program. Surveys by Game Commission personnel indicate that few anglers took advantage of the extra six weeks of trout fishing provided by this year’s longer season except during the warm days right after Christmas when sizeable crowds turned out following stocking in some areas. Judging by letters and resolutions received by the Game Commission there still seems to be some interest in a yeaiv around trout season for the state, a subject sure to come up during the Game Commission’s regulation hearing in Richmond, March'24. THE RUSH RIVER, North Fork of the Thornton River and Piney Branch in Rappahannock County are being stocked and the first consignment of fish arrived Wednesday. In Madison County, Garth Run, Hughes River, Rapidan River (fish for fun), Robinson and Rose Rivers are being stocked, as well as Gooney Run in Warren County. □ Contest near end A POSTER-ESSAY CONTEST, sponsored by Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection, is nearing completion.

We need your help. During the past year the Library has taken a big step forward. Readers now can more conveniently visit the Library, as we are open five days a week. The Library’s 4th of July Celebration and Children’s Christmas Party have become popular community fixtures. Our evening speaker programs have been well-attended. These special activities show the function of the Library as a community center. Through the Virginia State Library Association we can order any book you want or need that is on the shelves of any library in Virginia. OUR LIBRARY has recently been placed in a position to receive moneys from the Virginia State Library Fund. To begin, the amount will be token but the pipeline h^s been opened for us. All these accomplishments have been possible through the support and interest of our patrons and the generous response of our friends. The Library’s 1972 Fund Drive was launched on 15 March — and our needs are still great. The next pressing need is for physical improvement. The oil stove does hot provide even minimum comfort, and the lighting is grossly inadequate. Thus, heating and lighting — costly improvements in their barest forms — must be tackled. The Rappahannock Library needs your wholehearted support. Your financial contribution is needed that we may continue to better serve the community. HOWEVER, our foremost need is for your active personal interest in using al 1 the facilities available at and through your County Library. The Librarians welcome your recommendations regarding additional materials you would like to see made available. The Rappahannock Library wants to help you in keeping this a culturally growing County.

WEBB Extension Agent, Home Economics Polish That Marble Table: With a little care the marble around your home or on an old piece of furniture that you are thinking about purchasing can shine like new. To remove stains from marble, use a poultice. It can be made of white blotting paper, white paper napkins, white cleansing tissue, commercial whiting or of a powdered household cleaner. The poultice needs to bei soaked in the proper solution and kept from drying out while it is on the marble drawing out the stain. It can be kept moist with a covering of glass or sheet of plastic and requires 48 or more hours, depending on the stain. Stain removal is facilitated by washing the surface with clear water before applying a poultice soaked with hydrogen peroxide or household ammonia for organic stains, caused by such substances as coffee, tea and flowers. Butter, milk, cream, hand creams and other such substances often yield to poultices soaked in amyl acetate or acetone. Rust stains can be removed by a poultice soaked in commercial iron rust remover. Fine scratches may be buffed away. The entire surface can be repolished, with tin oxide applied on a damp cloth. Buffing, either by hand or with a pad mounted on a power drill, needs to be continued until each etch mark or small crack disappears and the marble surface shines.

In a statement announcing his candidacy, Williams said “I shall run as the tax-reform candidate.” He said: “We must close tax loopholes” which give unfair advantage to ‘‘the ultra-rich” and make sure that the “unfairness to the great majority of American taxpayers” is eliminated. “It is wrong,” Williams said, “when some people Candy Eggs Cocoanut Cream and Fruit and Nut 8 oz.

The Capitol Records recording artist has appeared on Country Music charts for some years with many hits, a number of which he wrote, including “The Whole World Holding Hands,” “One More Mountain to Climb,” and “My Hangup is You.” The most popular, “Easy Loving,” has sold over a million records, and was largely responsible for the Grammy Awards which were Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Writer of the Year, Entertainer of the Year, and Most Promising Male Vocalist, said a Festival spokesman. Hart will lead the Firemen’s Parade on Friday night, May 5, in what was described by a Festival spokesman as “the largest aggregation of volunteer firemen and fire fighting equipment that we know of in the nation,” and the singer will be featured at a post-Parade Firemen’s Ball. The spokesman added that he would also appear in the Grand Feature Parade on Saturday afternoon, which is scheduled to be led by Grand Marshal Billy Graham and Queen Shenandoah XLV Shelley Wellons Moore of West Virginia. □ 230,793 arrests Arrests by the State Police clearing the courts during 1971 totalled 230,793 according to Colonel H.W. Burgess, Superintendent of the Department. He noted that 96.6 per cent, or 222,932, involved the highway and that 95.2 percent, or 219,740, were for direct traffic offenses. The overall conviction rate was 93 percent. The example Colonel Burgess gave as an offense involving the highway, but not a direct traffic violation, was being intoxicated on or adjacent to a public highway. There were 3.036 arrests for this and he credited some of these with preventing intoxicated people from becoming pedestrian casualties. Speeding arrests led with 81,390 and reckless driving was next with 20, 597. There were 16,-797 for operators’ and chauffeur’s license violations, and 12, 285 for improper equipment. Those for operating while intoxicated numbered 3,117. Man hours spent in connection with civil disorder ran to 27,359. Fines, court costs, overweight assessments, abandqned and stolen property recovered in State Police cases returned $10,755,351 to the taxpayers. loopholes, straighten out our tax structure, and make sure that every American pays only his fair share.” Williams was the Democratic nominee for the Seventh District Congressional seat in 1970 and will be making a second bid for public office.
