Sappahamturk Nma Published Thursday Morning at Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia, by the Fauquier Publishing Company, Inc. 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 About letters SEVERAI. communications have been received in recent weeks which served as a reminder that it was time to re-state some of the newspaper’s policies about letters and such. One of the letters was a perfectly straightforward expression of opinion on a local controversy, but it lacked one important ingredient. It wasn’t signed. The News will honor letter-writers’ requests that names be withheld—often there are good and valid reasons why a person should have an opportunity to speak up without fear of losing a job or arousing a neighbor’s enmity—but we must know who sent the letter, we must be assured that the letter-writer is that confident of his point of view. The other letter was something different. A woman complained bitterly of what she regarded as rude treatment received from a shopkeeper. Names were named, the incident was described in deatil. If it had involved a clear case of consumer interest—e.g., an instance of advertised merchandise not being available—we would have had no hesitation in printing the letter, all details all details included. But since it appeared to be merely a case of personal rudeness, we concluded that no wide public purpose would be served by printing the complaint. We’re sure that particular customer will never darken that particular shop’s doorway again, just as we’re sure we’ll always print bona fide consumer issues when they’re presented. FINALLY, we received another poem. Only once have we relented from a policy of not printing unsolicited poems, and, frankly, we wish we hadn’t. It’s not that we don’t like poetry, it’s just that there seems to be so many poets out there and it, would be unfair to print one submission without making space for them all. So, please, sign your letters, address them as much as possible to public rather than personal problems, and put it in prose, not rhyme.□ Price increase EVERYBODY’S PRICES except ours have been going up, and now we’re being forced to join the trend. Increasing costs of everything we use, including second class postage rates, make the increase unavoidable. Effective with the first issue in October, the newstand price of the Rappahannock News will be 15 cents per copy, a price already well-established by several area publications. The cost of mail subscriptions will be increased to $4 for the local area and postal zones 1 through 4; zones 5 through 8 will be $5. This is the only price increase in a number of years, despite the fantastic trend of price rises that have taken place. The latest postage increase, for example, will increase mailing costs an average of 18 per cent. The increase will not, of course, apply to those subscriptions already in force.□ Barns The barn on the property of Mr. and Mrs. Paul St. Clair near Amissville was correctly identified by five readers. However, Mrs. Nannie Weaver of Hume will receive the subscription to the Rappahannock News for her name was drawn from the entries. Others to name the barn correctly were Mrs. Katherine Riley, Mrs. Judy Harrison, Charlie Compton, and Stan Magee. Please try this one and mail replies to the Rappahannock News, Box 38, Washington, Virginia 22747. Three hurt in wreck Three people were injured in a two-car collision Saturday night on Route 211 east of Amissville about 11:15 p.m. One vehicle swerved into the left lane and struck the approaching one in the side, according to Trooper W. A. Buntin, who said charges are pending. Involved were Charles Robert Funkhouser of Midland operating a 1971 Ford and Archie Samuel Kidwell of Middletown in a 72 Mercury. According to the investigating officer, Funkhouser crossed into the left lane and struck Kidwell. Both vehicles were totaled.

T H E L I T T L E F 0 X Culpeper hospital addition GROUND - BREAKING ceremonies for the new two-story addition to Culpeper Memorial Hospital were held Saturday morning, September 22. Congressman J. Kenneth Robinson praised the community, the board of directors and the.hospital staff for providing a hospital facility for this section of the Northern Piedmont of Virginia. “Community hospitals such as this must be encouraged and assisted to expand and upgrade their services if the goal of quality health care for all Americans is to be achieved,” he said. “It is particularly important that we strive to maintain local control over these facilities, in order that services and administration can be adjusted to varying community needs,” Robinson added. A Gordon Willis, Jr. president of the institution’s Board of Directors presided. He said that the entire $4.5 million project for the hospital’s enlargement was a “purposeful forward step toward enabling the people of Culpeper and surrounding communities to receive an even greater measure of benefits that can result from present day medical and hospital procedures.” OTHERS participating in the program were the Rev. John S. Farrar, pastor of Culpeper Baptist Church, representing the Culpeper Ministerial Association, who gave the invocation; the Culpeper County High School band; Dr. Alfred Cramer III, president of the Medical- Staff; W. A.

Hitt, chairman of the building and grounds committee, and Garland Steger, Jr., chairman of the development fund committee. Plans call for completion of the new wing by the latter part of 1975. Subsequently, the hospital’s original building, which opened in 1960 will undergo renovation and improvement in the final phase of the development program. Gravely said the reasons for the development program are that the present 44-bed hospital will far surpass 100% occupancy by the mid 1970’s, that the need for long term nursing care facilities in the area is growing more acute, that physicians and specialists often choose their general practice area on the basis of hospital quality, and that financial operating soundness to unattainable in the face of the high costs borne by a small hospital offering a broad range of services. MAJOR elements of the new wing will include: Ground level: New main entrance and lobby, pharmacy, dining / conference room, dietary department, hospitablity shop, occupational therapy, central dispatch area, storage and employee lockers. Second floor: A modern 28-bed nursing unit for medical and surgical patients, and a 82-bed long term nursing care unit. The Family Practice area in the existing hospital will be enlarged by construction of additional space adjacent to the present unit. Business, administrative and records offices will move to the large space now occupied by the kitchen and dining areas. Pediatrics will be located in the area vacated by the business offices. The 12-bed unit will end the necessity for locating child patients in the adult patient areas. IN RELATION to the $4.5 million cost of the entire project, Steger noted that a $721,500 grant has been obtained through the federal Hijl-Burton program and that funds would now be sought from individuals, business, industry and organizations in order to reduce the ^principal of the hospitals financing obligations. “Actually,” Steger said, “the more of the principal that is repaid, and the earlier it is repaid, the lower will be each subsequent years’ interest payment, thereby greatly lowering the total cost of the entire development program. ”□ Charlie Thomas, RCHS cross country sensation for the past few years, who is now attending Pensacola Junior College in Florida, is still on the run. Charlie has participated in several meets since the season opened and in a Labor Day meet at the Naval Air Station’$ four-mile course he placed third in the field. Runners from Mississippi, Alabama and Florida participated.

Apple harvest time in Rappahannock produces scenes like this. Florida laborers work, their way north harvesting crops as they go. Through there was some frost kill in the orchards, a good crop is being harvested and prices are better than usual with the processors. Full bins or red apples dotted the hillside. James Manuel of Leesburg, Fla. picks as many as 200 bushels of apples a day when there is a heavy crop of fruit to harvest. He is one of the many miagrant laborers who work their way up the east coast harvesting crops in season. His average day's work in the Eldon Farms orchards near Woodville is about nine bins per day with each bin holding twenty bushels. Pantherettes one and one Rappahannock High girls basketball team has gone into action with scrimmage Monday and Saturday. They bowed to Luray in the first game but recovered and gained a 37-29 victory over Strasburg Saturday. This game proved an aggressive endeavor by the local lassies who were charged with ten fouls, but drew 20 fouls from their opponents the Strasburg Ramettes. Sharon Foster was high scorer for the Lady Panthers with four baskets and seven foul shots, totaling 15 points. Cheryl Poling, co-captain, was second high with 8 points. The Pantherettes are anticipating the return game with Luray at Luray on October 10. The junior varsity team will have a home game on October 2 at 7 p.m. with Warren County juniors. The public is invited to support the • girls in these and coming games. □ CHURCH NOTICE Sperryville United Methodist Church will have worship services, Sunday, September 30 at 11:15 a.m. The Rev. Jerry Campbell will be the speaker. □ Si Sez “WE KNOW THAT THE WORLD and the stars, in fact, all things were made at God’s command; and that they were made from things that can’t be seen.” (Atoms?) That statement is found in Hebrews 11:3. Now, how did those early writers know about atoms, or that everything came into being through the vibratory voice of God; the Word of God, if you will? Some will resent this, but when I see someone waving a Bible and shouting that it is the Word of God I feel a little bit of resentment myself. I accept the Bible as HIS story, or a record of man’s quest for a knowledge of his creator. I think it is the greatest book ever written; I read it as a book by a group of inspired people, I do not accept it as the actual WORD of GOD. Do we hear His Word in the wind, thunder and beating rain of a mighty storm do we hear it in the rumbling of an earthquake or the explosions of a volcano? Those are natural phenomena of God’s 0 creation. Can you hear it in the happy gurgling of a happy infant, or the voice of one you love telling you that your love is returned. The Bible, a book of many books, might be called a road map, a song book, a love story, history or a book of pornography. There is something there for *all tastes. It is not a spoken word, yet it speaks to your heart. Read it and see for yourself. If you really want to hear the voice of God, His word, live a whole day doing the best you can, pause at eventime and pray, you will almost hear Him say: “All is well, I will watch over you, Good Night.” Watch for the Opening of JOHNSON'S DRAPERY CENTER (fornterly Johnson's Fabrics) • CUSTOM DRAPERIES • DRAPERY AND • CUSTOM BEDSPREADS SLIPCOVER FABRICS • DRAPERY HARDWARE “Shop at Home” Service 702 S.

Tobacco prices continued at record high levels and corn prices also continued to climb. Soybean price trends were mixed over the region. Feeder calf prices declined sharply, as much as $8 a hundred pounds for lighter weights. Feeder cattle sold $2 to $4 lower, following a severe price break on slaughter cattle and carcass beef.

Egg prices were mostly unchanged. CATTLE—Sharp price declines featured trading on feeder cattle and calves at Southeast markets during the week ended September 21.

Shenandoah college completes plans for artist senes SHENANDOAH College and Conservatory of Music has completed plans for the “Artist Series” this year being co-directed by Theodore Lapina and Thomas “ Bates. On October 31, Laurens Moore will present “Washington Irving, A Man of Legends,” and the Charlie Byrd Trio will perform on January 21. Both of these programs have been a part of the Artist Series previously and were sell-outs. The Richmond Sinfonia will be presented on November 27. This will be the inaugural season for the Sinfonia as a professional group. The arrival of Music Director Jacques Houtmann in 1971 moved the orchestra from a parttime ensemble to one of international recognition with appearances in Bermuda, and invitations to England,' Belgium, France, Germany and Yugoslavia. The Contemporary Music Forum from Washington will present selections by living composers, performing on woodwinds, and keyboard and will demonstrate' with electronic tapes. This performance, part of the “Festival of Arts” to be presented by Shenandoah the last week of February, will seek to imprint upon listeners the form and movement of contemporary music. “AN ERA of Excellence” will be presented March 19. In this program Jeanette Comer and Helen Nitti Ortega will perform on the soprano and tenor recorders, harpsicord, dulcimer, and classical guitar in a presentation of music forms contemporary with the popular emergence of these instruments. Vocal and literary selections will also be presented. Lapina stated that this year’s “Artist Series” has been organized to present a popular yet varied series of programs. “We are fortunate to be able to increase the cultural im pact of the series while at the same time repeating old favorites without increasing ticket prices over last year.” AGAIN THIS year season tickets for reserved seats, as well as box office tickets for single performances, are available. Anyone desiring information regarding the series or ticket prices may contact Shenandoah by phoning 667-8714.□ G. E. Portable HAND MIXERS. 3 speed. Reg. $13.95 SPECIAL $9.88.

Make next year’s marketing plans EVEN THOUGH farmers haven’t finished harvesting and marketing this year’s crops, in Rappahannock County it’s not too soon to begin planning how to sell things they’ll raise next season, a local farm official points out. “This is especially true if producers want to consider new marketing meth ods not locally available and discuss them with those in the trade with whom they normally deal,” says James W. Coates, Rappahannock Executive Director for the Agricultural Stablization and Conservation Service. There are several forward marketing methods by which farmers can fix their unit prices for 1974 crops, either now or at a later date when the market looks best to them. Market demand for food and fiber at home and abroad is signaling the need for full production next year. Program changes already announced for ’74 will permit use of all land for crop production.

Rhone 825-0741 “Even though there is strong demand and good farm prices, producers will want to look into the best ways to market their crops now that the government is no longer involved in holding huge Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) stocks of grain.” “This includes reviewing the market, as many are already doing, and picking both the price and the method of locking in price that works best for them • and guarantees a fair return on the land, labor, capital, and management skills that they invest in crops and livestock each year.” GOVERNMENT loans on commodities will continue to be available to farmers who need them for financing. However, in most other ways the government’s influence on production and marketing of agricultural commodities has been eliminated for the first time in years. “This means more attention to marketing by farmers, and both the trade and government are attempting to, provide producers with information on ways to lock in profits through forward pricing,” Coates said. He pointed out that the county ASCS office has available reprints of severfil magazine articles telling about marketing methods being used by producers in various parts of the country. These are offered as background information so that farmers who are interested in different marketing techniques can see what is being done elsewhere.

Another viewpoint Big population means higher costs From Science News PLATO thought that the optimal size for a city would be 5,040 “people” with about five times as many slaves. Richard Lamm does not necessarily agree, but in Equilibrium he reports an impressive array of difficul ties that worsen as cities become very large. In cities of less than 50,000, for example, education can be provided for children at a cost of $12 per capita, for the community. That figure doubles for cities between two to three hundred thousand population, doubles again for cities of about half a million, and rises to $85 per capita for cities of a million or more. Similarly for crime. There are 12.8 robberies per hundred thousand population in cities of less than ten thousand, 117.6 robberies per hundred thousand in cities of over Mrs. John Tapp of Amissville examines a cookbook which the Rappahannock Womans Club compiled and is selling.

Meanwhile, the per capita cost of police protection— though apparently less effective—also roughly doubles. OTHER figures: A 100fold increase in population requires a 1,200-fold increase in roadways. Public health is twelve times more expensive per capita in cities of over a million than in those of less than 50,000. In the same situation, welfare costs the average citizen 88 times more, through taxes, in the larger city. Attempts at local solutions, Lamm reports, often only make the »problem worse. Detroit, for example, a few years ago tried to open up 50,000 new jobs, only to find its unemployment rate rose slightly as a result—people seeking jobs had flooded in from other parts of the country. ONLY a national program of population and employment coordination can really ease the problems of big cities, Lamm concludes. Such a program should find ready public support, he says, citing a Gallup Poll that shows 56 percent of Americans would SUNDAY SERVICES Dr. James R.
