Mary Jamieson displays two stylish dress bargains she thinks you’ll like. THE LONG holiday week end was marred by two severe traffic crashes in Rappahannock County, one of which resulted in the first fatality here in this calendar year. Another minor crash was also reported. Robert Lawrence Hicks, 24, of Mountain View Trailer Park, Culpeper, was killed in a single-vehicle crash about 4 a.m. Sunday. This occurred on Route 522 a mile west of Woodville when a car in which he was riding went off the right of the highway and struck a cement bridge abutment. Hicks was dead at the scene of multiple injuries. Investigation indicated that the car, a 1965 Pontiac Tempest owned by Boyd Thomas Coffey, also of Culpeper, was driven by Coffey. He was taken to Culpeper Memorial Hospital by Sperryville Rescue Squad where he remains a patient with lacerations of the face and hands, a chest injury and a broken left arm. Investigation by Trooper W.A. Buntin continues and charges are pending. HICKS WAS married and had one small daughter. A funeral service was held Wednesday. The same evening, April 28, a single-car crash occurred about 8:10 p.m. on Route 231, four miles south of Sperryville. A1964 Pontiac owned and operated by Richard Allen Weakley of Sperryville went out of control on a curve, ran off the right shoulder and struck a utility pole. The vehicle was declared a total loss and the operator was cited for reckless driving by investigating Officer Buntin. Two victims survived an unbelievable one-car crash Monday evening on Route 211 at Ben Venue. The 1966 Ford Mustang in which they were riding was demolished after it hurtled up the road, struck a tree and came to rest in the median 778 feet from the initial, trouble spot. Driver of the car was John Robert Kemmett of Hagerstown, Md., a serv iceman with the U.S. Navy stationed aboard the USS America at Norfolk. He sustained a skull fracture, fractured jaw and multiple facial lacerations. Kurtz Larz Ryerson of Hagerstown, Md., a passenger in the car, also sustained multiple facial lacerations and a fractured jaw. Both men were 21 years of age. ACCORDING to Trooper K.L. Miller, his investigation disclosed the car was traveling at an extremely high rate of speed when it ran off the road after failing to negotiate a curve. The investigation continues. The vehicle was demolished and was loaded on a lowboy to be carried away; the tangled mass could not be hauled by a wrecker. A report Wednesday afternoon from the administrator of Fauquier Hospital Warrenton, where the victims were taken byAmissville Rescue Squad, said both Kemmett and Ryerson were in “satisfactory” condition and in all probability the serviceman would be transferred to a Naval hospital in the area. Sale donations are solicited Every Tuesday and Saturday, the old Washington School House will be open from 11 to 4:30 o’clock to receive donations of things to be sold in the Rappahannock Library’s Super Flea Market. “We beg everyone in the county,” says the Chairman of the Fourth Program Mary Jamieson, “to get his and her things to us just as soon as possible. It takes a lot of time to make them ready for the sale.” “Every category of thing,” she emphasized, “will be welcomed by the Flea Market Committee. Already we have a functioning stove, some house columns, a mother - of - pearl and lace fan, oodles of clothes for men and ladies and sporting types. You name it — we’ll take it and like it!” □

SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 For a Big Fourth OF ALL AMERICAN holidays, the Fourth of July takes top honors. And of all places to celebrate the Glorious Fourth, a small town is the best — and we mean a small town, not those sickly imitations called “suburbs.” So it is with real pleasure that we look forward to this year’s Fourth celebration in Rappahannock County. The town-wide open air market — “Super Flea Market,” Mrs. Mary Jamieson calls it — that is planned for the streets of Washington promises to provide a festive setting for observance of the nation’s birthday. And when you remember that its all for a worthy county cause, the undertaking takes on a truly red, white and blue hue. What better way for Americans to celebrate the Fourth of July than by working together for a community enterprise of such value to present and future generations as the public library! F IT’S UP TO ALL OF US toJielpthe hard-working planning committee, and library officials, make sure the day realizes its full potential. With a little help from friends, Rappahannock County in general and the Rappahannock Library in particular will long remember July 4, 1972. □ Foolish speeding THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND in Rappahannock was marred by two accidents in which the damage to the involved vehicles was truly spectacular. It was a miracle that only one of these accidents resulted in a fatality, so mangled and twisted was the wreckage of the cars involved. There can be only one conclusion from both of these accidents — they were the result of excessively high speed. Both occurred on fairly clear stretches of roadway, under reasonably favorable conditions. Only the drivers weren’t reasonable. No road can be built to accommodate the top speeds modern cars are capable of attaining — which raises some stark questions about the propriety of even offering such machines to the driving public. BUT THERE IS NO QUESTION whatsoWer about the ability of all drivers to operate their cars at sensible speeds, under all conditions. It isn’t sensible to try to navigate a twisting country road at 70 mph, and it isn’t sensible to try to streak down the most carefully engineered super highway at top speed. Both paths lead to the hospital, if you’re lucky — to the morgue, if you aren’t. Barns The barn pictured last week is prominently located on the Fodderstack Road between Flint Hill and Washington and is owned by the Louis Moore family. Only three replies were received and all three correctly identified the barn. Drawn from these names was that of Garfield Burke of Huntly who will receive a free year’s subscription to the Rappahannock News. Others were Asbuy Clark and Mrs. Patricia Jenkins. Try this one and send replies by noon Tuesday. No phone calls, please. Glass suggestions sought THE COMMITTEE in charge of arranging the annual adult education program, which is held early each year, is requesting that anyone who desires a class on a specific subject to notify the committee soon.

The classes are ‘Tield from 7 until 9 p.m. Thursdays at the local high school.

'Ripe old age' becoming a more accessible goal TODAY, for the average Rappahannock County resident, the chances of living to a ripe old age are better than ever. A child born in the local area at the present time may look forward to a life span of 70.5 years, according to national statistics.

All are invited. □ and somewhat less for males. This life expectancy at birth is much greater than it was a generation or two ago. In 1950, the records show, it was 68.2 years and, in 1930, only 59.7. The improved outlook is attributed to the dramatic progress that has been made in the fields of medicine and public health and in the care of older people. As a result, there bas been a 63 percent increase in the nation’s over-65 population since 1950, compared with an increase of only 34 percent in the total population. In Rappahannock County there are now some 322 men and 315 women in that age bracket. BECAUSE of the great gains in longevity, more married couples are now reaching the age of retirement together, according to insurance company statisticians. Furthermore, the odds are better than ever that both husband and wife, after reaching that point, will live at least 13 years more. That is what the latest figures on life expectancy show. For a man, the period of maximum family responsibility begins when he gets married. It continues for about 30 years thereafter. His survival through this period, when there are likely to be dependent children, is of great social and economic importance. BASED upon the current statistics, the 30 or so men in Rappahannock County who are now at the average marrying age of 23 have 88 chances out of 100 of surviving to their 54th birthday. By that time, the children may be expected to be off and on their own. Back in 1940, his chances of reaching that point would have been no more than 83 out of 100. Despite the longevity achieved in the United States, this country lags behind 17 other industrialized nations in that respect, the figures show. The leader is Sweden, where the expectancy at birth is 71.9 years for the males and 76.5 for females. □ “REMEMBER YOUR CREATOR in the days of your youth, before the evil days come, and the years approach of which you will say, ‘I have no pleasure in them’.” So says Koheleth, the preacher. And also reads our pastor to a group of young people. These young people brought us a message in song that thrilled our hearts. The pastor reminded these young folk that it is good to be young, but that even the young have responsibilities. Once I was asked, when I was a young man, why I didn’t kick over the traces once in awhile. I told him that I had read that if one conserves his energy, he will retain some of it into later life. An older man told me, says he, “Si, if you have any wild oats to sow, you had better sow them now.” Not his exact' words, however. Maybe I have missed a lot, but/my philosophy is if you don’t sow ‘em, you don’t have to reap ‘em. Or, if you burn the candle at both ends it only lasts half as long. At this season I am reminded of a sweet girl graduate. I went to the college graduation night to see her get her sheepskin. Was she beautiful. It seems that the dean was retiring. Anyway, at the close of his speech he recited a poem that went something like this: “Farewell, sweet maids, I have no song to give you. No lark could pipe to skies so dull and gray. But, ere we part, this lesson I would leave you For every day, Be good, sweet maids, and let who will be clever. Do noble things, not just dream them all day long. And so make life, death, and that Great Forever A grand sweet song.” I’ve never seen so many tears in so many beautiful eyes. You never hear of sweet boy graduates, but, I think the poem could apply to both sexes. Out there in God’s Great Forever is a place for you. Fill it well. □ We will build this house anywhere in Rappahannock County.

Set-aside acreage regulations are explained SOME principal requirements in set-aside acreage provisions of the 1972 farm programs have been outlined by a local farm program official in response to continuing ques tions from farmers. “Farmers in Rappahannock County signed up in the Feed Grain and Wheat Programs have a vital interest in knowing and complying with set-aside rules in order to earn full farm payments,” said T.R. Taylor, chairman of the Rappahannock County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation (ASC) Committee. “Purpose of set-aside in the Feed Grain and Wheat Programs under the three-year Agricultural Act of 1970 is to help reduce the potential American agriculture has for ex The Fifth Grade classes instructed by Mrs. Carroll Quaintance, right, and William Sealock, left, which visited the Luray Caverns recently were Mark Hitt, Fletcher Eastham, Joseph Walker, Mildred Clanagan, Janice Aylor, Ralph Jackson, William Carter, Paul Covington, John Foster, Richard Ralls, Shelby Hutt, Wayne Atkins, Joseph Keys, Jerri Mulcahy, Bonnie Williams, David Huff, Sandra Fincham, Rebecca Hottle, Perry Breeden, Mike Atkins, Margie Williams, Gregory Smoot, Sandra Hudson, Melanie Thornhill, Edie Hackley, James Dwyer, Craig Smoot, Carol Taylor, Natalie Swindler, Charles Green, John Facchina, Karen Welch, Sarah Massie, Theresa Denniston, Yvonne Norman, Carol Burke, Jacqueline Myers, Rebecca Stirman, Joyce Foster, Wendy Jenkins, Patsy Smoot, Lynn Anderson, Eva Grimsley, Frances Gray, Darlene Grigsby, Patricia Kendall, Wendy Clarke, Brenda Tolson, Catherine Meredith, Mary Ramey, Kathy Alther, Grace Frazier, Jackie Twyman, Ruth Jackson and Teresa Mahoney. cess crop production. Farmers in the set-aside programs give up the use of some of their productive acres in order to help achieve an effective balance between supply and de-^ mand. “For that reason, farmers are asked to select land for set-aside that has the same average productivity as the program cropland on the farm. Farm payments may be reduced or lost if the average productivity provision is not followed.” SET-ASIDE land must be designated and certified by June 30, 1972. That means producers must come in to the ASCS county office by that date to give the location of their set-aside land and certify they are in compliance with all setaside provisions, noted Taylor. Producers are cautioned that no changes are allowed after they have certified compliance. A farmer certifies that he has set aside the acreage and has complied and will continue to comply with set-aside rules. After set-aside is designated and certified by a producer, his farm may be spot-checked at any time for compliance. If the farm is not in compliance, the producer may lose some or all of this program payments. Farmers are being encouraged to designate and certify set-aside acreage as early as possible in order to be assured of early program payments.

Phone 635-2101 RCHS News Notes THE FACULTY of Rappahannock County High School received a pleasant surprise when they were feted with a Teachers Appreciation Day on May 17. The event, termed a great success, featured an assembly, a luncheon, students dressed up for the occasion, and each teacher was given a red and white carnation. Although some teachers had an inkling of the treat in store for them, most were surprised—and pleased that the student body showed its appreciation by dressing up and being extra nice. The S.C.A. sponsored the luncheon, which included some guests and Rappahannock County School Superintendent O. A. Norton. Combined with the Appreciation Day Assembly were speeches by the candidates for officers of the S.C.A. for next year. The election was held Monday and following are the results: Kevin Day, president; Stevie Williams, vice president; Cathy Dwyer, secretary; Cindy Cumins, treasurer and Susan Latham reporter. THE SENIOR play, which took place recently, was a success, also. The class and Mr. Harrison, who directed it, deserve much credit and thanks for the superb task completed. The morning following the play the Senior Class left for an overnight venture to Hampton. Part of the trip was dampened by rain, but they still managed to have fun and do some sightseeing.

Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O’Dell tells the historical story of the “Lost Woman of San Nicolas”: “Far off the coast of California looms a harsh rock known as the Island of San Nicolas. Dolphins flash in the blue waters around it, sea otter play in the vast kelp beds, cormorants roost on its crags, and sea elephants loll on die stony beaches. Here in the early 1800’s, an Indian girl spent eighteen years alone.. .Not only was mere subsistence on so desolate a spot a near miracle, but Karana had to contend with the ferocious pack of wild dogs that had killed her younger brother, constantly guard against the Aleutian sea-otter hunters, and maintain a precarious food supply... Karana’s quiet courage, her Indian self-reliance and acceptance of fate transform what to many would have been an ordeal into an uplifting experience. From loneliness and terror comes the strength and serenity that is modern man’s goal and that is symbolized by the island itself, rising alone and majestic from the wide waters of the Pacific.” This is a novel to delight both teenagers and adults. □ PUBLIC AUCTION Saturday, June 10,1972 Beginning at 10 a.m. —i At the home of the late Henry Campbell Slate Mills, Vp.

The Department offers it to farmers with the warning that no one can predict prices and be right all the time. HOGS Hog prices are expected to show little change during the next few weeks, but may show some strength with the approach of the mid-summer seasonal low in slaughter. Marketings in the 10 corn belt states should continue 5 to 10 per cent below a year earlier throughout the fall period and into 1973. AsofMarchl,farrowings were down 6 per cent for the December-February period; and intentions to farrow reflected 7 per cent declines for both the March-May and June-August periods. Slaughter for the first three weeks of May averaged 11 per cent below May last year, and will continue to move down seasonally throughout the summer and into the fall to a level of 5 to 10 per cent below a year earlier. Consumer demand for pork should continue strong, and the overall meat supply seems to be in good balance. Cold storage holdings of pork on May 1 were 14 per cent below a year ago. The combination of lower corn prices and higher hog prices is producing a hog-corn ratio about double that of last year. Resulting plans for expansion will cause a hold back of animals for breeding, thus contributing to the shorter supply of animals for market. Hog growers should finish their animals at maximum acceptable weights. Hog prices last Thursday in Peoria were: $26.50-$27.75; Indianapolis, $26.50-$27.50; St. Louis, $26.75-$27.50; Richmond, $26.00-$26.50; and Southeast Virginia, Grains 1 to 3, $25.00-$26.25. SLAUGHTER CATTLE In spite of larger cattle numbers in feed lots, beef prices have increased since mid-April and with strong consumer demand, no appreciable weakness is expected. The total supply of red meat is about the same as a year ago, and the decrease in pork supplies has offset the increase in beef to bring about a balance between total supplies and demand. Cattle slaughter during April and May was higher than a year ago, while May 1 cold storage holdings of beef is about the same as last year, but 22 per cent below two years ago. Cattle on feed in six reporting states (which account for two-thirds of the total) was up 9per cent as of May 1. Based on numbers now on feed, marketings of fed cattle between April 1 and June 30 are expected to increase by 6 per cent. The cattle market last Wednesday in Omaha closed with choice steers bringing $35.50-$36.50; good steers, $32.00-$35.00; choice heifers, $35.00-$36.25; and good heifers, $30.50-$34.50. Cattle at Virginia auctions last week brought the following prices: good steers, $29.50$32.25; standard steers, $28.00-$34.00; good heifers, $29.00-$32.50; and standard heifers, $26.00-$31.00. □
