SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 On dog debates A POLITICIAN IN Fauquier County .says that when he first went to the General Assembly as a freshman Delegate, he received some of the best advice he’s ever received. An older, more experienced delegate from Southwest Virginia advised him: “Young man, there’s two things to steer clear of, and that’s any legislation concerning dogs or squirrels.” We don’t know about squirrels (“tree rats,” the British call them, and shoot them on sight; it’s always “open season”), but we have observed that any legislation involving dogs can stir up a ruckus. Some members of Rappahannock County’s Board of Supervisors feel that the court house will be filled up for the October meeting, and a hearing on a proposal to double the amount of dog fees collected by the county. We wouldn’t be surprised if they’re right. There’s only one point we’d like to emphasize — that everyone make a special effort to refrain from semantic niceties, and try to keep closely to the subject at hand. As far as we can tell — just to cite an example of what we mean — amendments to state enabling legislation have made Rappahannock’s controversial “surcharge” on German shepherds a moot point. ORATORS, WHEN ADDRESSING themselves to such an emotional and highly charged issue, must even take extra care to enunciate carefully. A case that comes to mind involved a heated debate some years back in the South Carolina General Assembly. Up for action was a piece of proposed legislation designed to lessen the chances of rabid dogs running amok, and of dealing with rabid dogs if all preventive measures failed. One legislator from a rural district listened to this as long as he could stand it, and then rose to express his confusion: “I don’t understand why all you fellas want to get rid of all our rabbit dogs.” So, here’s looking forward to the dog fee hearing. See you at the court house. □ Letter Word from a grateful mother Editor: Sunday night, September 10, my son and his friend were stranded on the Rappahannock River. They were rescued early Monday morning by the Amissville Fire and Rescue Squad. Words can never express the completely helpless feeling my husband and I had, standing on that bridge looking into the black night, knowing our boys were out there somewhere. After calling the Amiss ville Rescue Squad, I arrived at the station to find 15 to 20 men ready to give their all for me and my family. They ended up walking the river with flashlights and found the boys safe, but wet and cold — as were the men when they returned. I can’t help but think of those men; not equipped with the modern equipment of our Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Squads, but what they lacked in equipment they made up in spirit and willingness to give of themselves for strangers in need. Nothing could possibly express our gratitude to them. I want the people of Amissville and Rappahannock Conty to know with what unselfish devotion these men give of their time and of themselves.

PANTHER TALES by Susan Latham Mr. Wingfield (that’s a good way to begin an article, isn’t it?) is back from a trip to West Point, N. Y. and a visit to the U. S. Military Academy. He and others from Nbrthern Virginia, Richmond, Roanoke, and Charlestown, W. Va. attended classes, lectures and films and saw the athletic facilities of the academy. He also ate and visited with the cadets. Mr. Wingfield saw a dress parade and had an opportunity to observe both the academic and military side of the,school. I hope he hasn’t picked up any new rules and regulations for us. The Senior class elected officers Wednesday and they are President, Cil Davis; vice president Mauri Raney; secretary Charla Sisk; treasurer Jim Wigington. Juniors then met Thursday and our officers are president John Summers; vice president Mary Moore Kilby; secretary Vicki Hutt and Judy Atkins treasurer. Hey, have you heard yet? The stadium pillows for the Panthers have come in and the cheerleaders will be selling them through the week and through the season to help pay for their uniforms. We are hoping for the support of the students and people of the county. Beverly Reid is editor of the annual, “The Rappsody” and Mrs. Pomeroy is sponsor. They have begun selling ads which will help to pay for the yearbooks and are planning to go to Charlottesville October 12 to select the cover and decide on type and other things involved in the publication of the Rappsody. Linda Ralls, the assistant editor and Connie Huff who is in charge of advertising will be very busy. Remember — the Cross Country team has its first meet this Saturday at Winchester. The boys really need our support their first time out so if there is any way possible go on over to James Wood and show them how much we’re backing them up. It starts at 10 a.m. and in spite of the setbacks we’re hoping for a victory. The last tragedy was Ronnie Nicholson stepping on a pitchfork Monday. The photography club meets again tonight with Mr. Flinchum and Kevin^ Day instructing us in the mechanics of a camera. There are approximately 15 members of the club and they plan to take pictures throughout the year on any subject which they find interesting. I’d like to remind people in the county that any photography equipment or cameras which are no longer in use would make an appreciated donation to the club. The 1972 magazine campaign will be kicked off tomorrow. An assembly is scheduled for 9 a.m. Friday morning to inform the students of the prizes available to them. There will be a lot of class competition since the great juniors have won for the past three years. A high salesman prize will be awarded and many other dividends can be gained by selling these magazines for < the school. Save your renewals and new subscriptions until a student calls on you.

You know within the next couple of weeks old man Frost wifi be moving into our valley. Right now he is lurking up there near the Peak. I know, because I caught a glimpse of him in the early morning mist rising up off the mountains. And he has already sent out his advance scouts to color up the Virginia Creepers and splash a dab of blood red paint on the lower leaves of the Sumac bushes. Except for a few patches here and there, the hay is stowed away and the silos are filled. Looks to me like next Wednesday morning, October 4th, would be just a cracking good time to get together with some of your ole’ beef cattle cronies from our neighboring counties at the Front Royal Beef Cattle Research Station’s Centennial Field Day. you will want to be there by 9:30 a.m. to get in with one of the tour groups.

Cattle producers will be able to get some computer answers for management and related problems in the area of beef cattle production at the Beef Cattle Research Station. The computer terminal, which will be hooked up to a farm management computer in Philadelphia, will be available for information checks on beef cattle problems at the station’s Field Day. Walter Saunders, Extension district project leader, said the computer service will also give shopper’s guide information of least cost ratios for beef and hogs, Saunders stated. WITH A cattle inventory of 800 head, the new calf crop will be shown in eight pens as unselected samples, Bob Priode, station superintendent, noted. Shorthorn and Angus lines will predominate, and findings should benefit both commercial and purebred interests, he said. The 4,300 acre field station was a U.S. Cavalry remount center from 1911 to 1948. With the co-operation of the federal and state government, it became a joint project for the training of USDA members and for beef cattle research for beef production in 1949. Long term genetic studies are revealing the extent to which conformation and rate of growth in cattle are determined by heredity, Priode said. “Emphasis is on how much cattle can be improved by selecting stock with certain desirable traits for breeding. Findings have influence on the quantity, quality and price of beef produced in the future. One exhibit will demonstrate the differnce in the 1872 and 1972 rations on twin calves. Other exhibits will feature two-performance-tested bulls from 1970 and 1971 calf crops to illustrate progress in shorthorn selection lines. FIELD DAY tour stops will begin at 10 a.m. and will include reports on the feeding of antibiotics to cows for calf scours control and planned pinkeye research. Tour stops will feature: “R.O.P. Data and Monthly Calf Weights,” with Dr. Ken P. Bovard, VPI Animal Science Department; Crossing Inbred Lines of Beef Cattle with Dr. R.C.

The airborne glider. 82 decibels at 60 mph. The '73 Ford LTD. 65 decibels at 60 mph. Quiet is the sound of a well-made car. At 60 mph a 73 Ford LTD rode quieter than an airborne glider. On July 27,1972, General Radio Co. tested a '73 LTD against an airborne glider. Both at 60 mph and with identical’sound level meters. The result: the Ford was quieter. But the new LTD is more than just quiet. It is well made from its power front disc brakes, power steering and automatic transmission, standard equipment, to its luxurious, comfortable, roomy interior. There are 16 new Ford models to choose from and each will convince you that quiet is the sound of a well-made car.

That provision allows a claimant to exclude from his or her countable income any unreimbursed amounts which have been paid for unusual medical expenses. The following quotation from VA regulations will better explain this allowable deduction: “There will be excluded from the amount of the claimant’s annual income any unreimbursed amounts which have been paid within the calendar year for unusual medical expenses, regardless of the year the indebtedness was incurred. The term ‘unusual’ means ‘excessive.’ It does not describe the nature of the medical condition, but rather the amount expended for medical treatment in relationship to the claimant’s resources available for sustaining a reasonable mode of life. “Unreimbursed expenditures which exceed 5 per cent of the claimant’s reported annual income will be considered unusual. Health, accident, sickness, and hospitalization insurance premiums will be included as medical expenses in determining whether the claimant’s unreimbursed medical expenses meet the criterion for being ‘unusual’. A claimant’s statement as to amounts expended for medical expenses ordinarily will be accepted unless the circumstances create doubt as to its credibility.” All eligible VA claimants should take advantage of this allowable deduction, thus becoming entitled to increased monthly payments. Edwin L. Pomeroy, of the Front Royal Office of the Division of War Veterans’ Claims, is in Washington at the Clerk’s Office on the first and third Mondays from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. and will gladly give more details on this subject or any other matter connected with veterans’ affairs. □ Si Sez “A HAZE ON THE FAR horizon, an infinite tender sky, The ripe, rich tints of the corn fields and wild geese flying high, And all over upland and lowland the charm of the goldenrod - Some call it autumn, others call it God.” SOME WILL SAY: “Aw, it is just that season of the year, juSt nature making her annual round.” There are some who can hold the universe in the palm of the hand and see eternity in a grain of sand. They can see God pass in the waving grass, hear Him in the songs of birds and babbling brooks; He speaks to them everywhere. To some of us autumn represents the eventime of life. We sit beside the fireside as the days grow short and cool and think of passed years. The family circle has been broken. Has it been worthwhile, have -we done enough good to outweigh the bad, are we due advancement in the after life because of that good? There are so many thoughts that come into our minds as we sit and ponder. How about “the old loves, jthe gold loves, the loves that would not stay; but remain in the heart always?” There have been disappointments, unattained goals, but, I am glad God permitted me to live this life. This peom by Evelyn Hunt seems fitting at this time, the title is Golden Years. “My love had loved me through the summer dawn While sunshine spilled its brightness on the 9 hill Like champagne sparkling. We had been content To feast on cakes and honey; had our fill. And I had wondered: When the sweets are gone, The golden bubbles quieted, the hill Subdued and gray with fog, the summer spent— I wondered if my love would love me still. Forgive me if a grateful tear should fall. In autumn, love is loveliest of all.” □

Soil after leaching rains’ GOOD fertilizer programs, good weed control and year of above normal rainfall have combined to make it possible for Fauquier County farmers to harvest top yields this ./ear. “However, all of this could also combine to create soil problems for next year’s crops,” warns Extension Agent Bob Tudor. The high analyses acid forming fertilizers being used by farmers, the leaching rains that fell throughout the growing season and the high yields that have been harvested have all combined to use up large amounts of the lime that was in our soils points out Bob Tudor. “I do not in any way mean to imply that the use of high analyses, acid forming fertilizers is bad,” states Tudor. “We use them for two very good reasons. They are excellent sources of plant nutrients, and they are cheap. However, we do need to keep in mind that we are using up the lime in our soils much more rapidly since we started using them,” Tudor cautions. THIS YEAR has been the year of the heavy rainfall. As these heavy rains soaked down through the soil, they carried the lime that was in it out of the reach of the plant roots. This left the soil where the roots were growing' more acid. The lime that was leached out of the rooting zone will not come back. It must be replaced through lime applications. The good crop yields that have been and are being harvested remove calcium and magnesium from the Models in the fashion show Saturday sponsored by Rappahannock Womens Club included Mrs. Francis Leonard of Amissville in a bright red floral street dress over which she had modeled a coat earlier.

Each ton of corn silage contains 1.6 pounds of calcium and 1.5 pounds of magnesium. Each ton of alfalfa hay contains 30 pounds of calcium and 5 pounds of magnesium. Two thousand pounds of totrcco contains 78 pounds of calcium and 18 pounds of magnesium. “MANY FACTORS such as the kind and amount of fertilizer used, the kind of soil in the field and the kind of crop grown will influence the extent to which your soils have become a cid this year,” Tudor says. “For this reason, the only way to determine the amount of lime that will be needed on your fields is to have them tested. You can find out how to get your soils tested by calling the Extension Office in Fauquier. The telephone number is 347-2313.” □ Set-aside checks will continue Set-aside acreage maintenance checks, now being made on Rappahannock County farms, will continue through October. “At least ten percent of the 129 farms participating in the 1972 set-aside program for wheat and feed grain will be visited before we finish,” said T.R. Taylor, Chairman of the County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation (ASC) Committee. “Designated set-aside land will be visually checked to determine if it is being maintained in accordance with program provisions.” He explained that producers who have set-aside acreage are required to take care of it by maintaining cover, controlling weeds, bushes and rodents, and guarding against erosion. Set-aside land may , not be grazed until after October 1, 1972 and no crop may be harvested on that land during the year. Random selections are made to determine which farms will be visited. These selections are made by following a system provided by the State ASCS Office. Some farms al ready visited for a random, or required check, may be visited again under the system. Maintenance checks are made to assure that program payments are earned and result in benefits to farmers and the general public. □ Art exhibition Artists throughout thearea are preparing for the Landmark Art Show to be held on the Samuels Library Grounds on Chester Street, on October 14 in Front Royal.

Physicians favor Virginia as a place to locate ACCORDING to the latest Annual Statistical Report of the Physicians’ Placement Service of the American Medical Association, Virginia is the most desirable southern state expressed in preferences by physicians contacting the AMA. Florida follows close be^ hind. Considering all states, Virginia ranks 10th.

Rappahannock, Farmers’ Cooperative Sperryville, Va. 987-2311 AMA indicated an interest in Virginia, and their credentials were forwarded to the Virginia Council on Health and Medical Care. The Council administers the Physician Referral Service in the Commonwealth with the cooperation of the AMA, The Medical Society of Virginia, the two medical schools, the Virginia State Department of Health, and the Virginia State Board of Medical Examiners. The Council’s office serves as a clearinghouse for places in need of physicians, and for physicians who are looking for places to practice. Mrs. Forrest E. Mars of The Plains is a member of the Board of Trustees of the Virginia Council on Health and Medical Care. ANOTHER indication of Virginia’s desirability as a place to practice was reflected in the flood of requests received at the | Council’s office during August. According to Edgar J. Fisher, Jr., director of the Virginia Council, 99 physicians requested placement information. The average for August is usually 30 to 40. During the first week in September an additional 13 physicians asked for the Council’s help, and each mail brings more requests. Fisher^xs at a loss to ex FIRE AND RESCUE SQUAD NOTES The Castleton Rescue Squad on September 21 took Mrs. Donna Fisher from home to the Fauquier Hospital and returned home. Flint Hill Rescue Squad on September 24 took Louis Moore from home to Warren Memorial Hospital. Sperryville Rescue Squad took Lionel Constant from the Lane farm in Woodville to Culpeper Memorial Hospital on September 21. On the 24th the squad answered a call to a point on Route 522 but services were not needed. □ The amount of gold hoarded by ancient civilizations probably totalled not much more than the output of the Witwatersrand district of South Africa in a single year. plain the sudden surge of interest in Virginia. In August Fisher traditionally writes to all physicians who were recently licensed by endorsement and examination, and to all doctors who are involved in approved internship! and residencies at Virginia hospitals. This always brings a fairly brisk amount of activity. However, the response has never begun to equal that of this year. Of the 112 physicians who contacted the Council recently, 38 are U. S. trained and 74 are foreign trained. All have a Virginia license. Another element puzzeling to Mr. Fisher is the fact that 43 of the 74 foreigntrained physicians are from the Philippines. This high percentage of Filipinos has never been noted before. ACCORDING to Fisher, unfortunately most of the doctors contacting the Council are specialists; only eight of the 112 are family physicians. The demand for the latter is still overwhelming with 192 opportunities for G.P.’s presently listed with the Council. Also interesting to note is the fact that of the 112 physicians, 19 were surgeons, bringing to 91 the number of surgeons listed to meet a need reflected in 14 opportunities. Fisher said he wished he could turn some of the surgeons into family physicians. During the first eight months of this year the Council has helped place 44 physicians, of which 29 are specialists and 15 family physicians. The most ever placed by the Council in a 12-month period' was 41 in 1965, so this year a record number of doctors will be steered to practice locations. THE VIRGINIA Council on Health and Medical Care is a private voluntary organization which is engaged in a variety of programs designed to improve both health and medical care in the Commonwealth. It is supported by tax deductible voluntary contributions coming from business concerns, banks, hospitals, professional societies, voluntary health organizations and many individuals. □ Amissville club meets THE AMISSVILLE RURITAN CLUB was called to order by president W. H. Lyne on Wednesday, September 20 and the invocation was given by the Rev. J. S. Stirman. The members enjoyed a dinner served by the Amissville Homemakers Club. Just as the mating got under way, the club was surprised by a visit from a teenage group of young people of Amissville Baptist Church which announced that Sunday would be youth day and the club was extended an invitation to attend the service which would be conducted by the young people of the church. The club also decided to attend the Forest Grove Baptist Church revival as a body on Thursday, September 28. Committees of the club gave reports showing objectives which are being accomplished and it was decided a new flag should be purchased to replace the old one. Three members were recognized for good and faithful work among youth. They were Stanley Settle, Billy Dodson and Clarence Dodson. County Game Warden Irvin L. Kenyon presented a talk on National Hunting and Fishing Day which was observed September 29. □ & ESTATE AUCTION OF THE LATE HELEN M.

Powerline hearings A hearing date has been set for Vepco vs. Fauquier County and Citizens on November 8 through the 10th before the State Corporation Commission in the Blanton building in Richmond. Vepco had originally filed suit in Circuit Court asking the court to “order approval” of the six new high voltage powerlines in Fauquier County. But Judge Rayner Snead told Vepco attorneys that he wouldn’t hold a hearing on the company’s suit until after a hearing had been held before the State Corporation Commission under Virginia’s new environmental protection act. Judge Snead made his decision after hearing arguments by Commonwealth’s Attorney John Alexander, special counsel L. Lee Bean and Hugo Blankingship, for a group of citizen intervenors, that this would be the quickest and most economical way to dispose of complicated questions involved. □ September to show social security hike THE NEW 20-percent increase in social security benefits will begin with regular checks for the month of September to be delivered in early October, according to Mrs. Hazel F.

Main St., Culpeper “No application is needed for the 20 percent increase,” Mrs. Crumpton said. “The Social Security Administration will refigure payments for everyone getting social security benefits and pay the increased benefits in the October checks.” Social security pays monthly cash benefits to 28 million people — retirement and disability benefits to eligible workers and their families: survivors benefits to the families of deceased workers who were insured under social security. “Under the new law,” she said, “the average social security payment to retired workers will increase from $134 to $162 a month. The average payment to a disabled worker with a wife and children will increase from $295 to $354 a month. The average payment to a widowed mother with two young children will increase from $322 to $386 a month.” more to come. “THE NEW law will also tie future social security benefit increases to the cost of living,” Mrs. Crumpton said. “If the cost of living increases three or more percent in a year,” she said, “monthly social security payments will also increase, starting the following January — unless a general benefit increase was enacted or became effective during the prior year.” The cost of living will be measured by the U.S. Department of Labor’s monthly Consumer Price In dex. “Tying benefits to the cost of living will help protect the purchasing power of people getting social security payments,” Mrs. Crumpton said. This provision was recommended by President Nixon in 1969. BOTH THE social security contributions rate and the contribution and benefit base (the earnings on which contributions are paid) will increase under the new law. The present rate for both employees and employers is 5.2 percent of annual earnings up to $9,000. Under the new law, the rate will increase next year to 5.5 percent and the base will increase to $10,800 for 1973. In 1974, the base will increase to $12,000. “After 1974,” Mrs. Crumpton said, “the social security contribution and benefit base will be adjusted automatically to keep pace with rising wages whenever benefits are adjusted automatically to take account of increases in the cost of living. Workers whose earnings equal or exceed the prior base will contribute more to social security when the base increases — but they can expect higher social security benefits in the future. Benefit amounts are based on average earnings.” □ I We Can Supply All Your I BUILDING NEEDS CULPEPER BUILDING & SUPPLY CORP. Phone VA5-8383 Culpeper HILLSDALE DRIVE-IN Washington, Va.
