RICHMOND 19, VA. By-passing Sperry vills opposed 4 BY PEKAY PETTUS FOLKS IN Sperryville made it clear Tuesday night that most of them don’t want a highway bypass built around the town. The Sperryville Community Group hosted a meeting at the Fire Hall so two representatives of " the Highway Department could hear What Sperryville residents had to say. The Department has proposed three plans for Routes 211 and 522 around Sperryville. There are two different possible bypass routes south of town and one that would be north of Sperryville. Another proposal is not to build a bypass around the town, but to “improve” the existing Route 211 through Sperryville. Pete Luke read a statement on behalf of the Sperryville Community Group that advocated “widening a few curves, building up die shoulders, and reducing the speed limit.” Luke emphasized that the group he spoke for did not want a huge, four-lane road with curb and gutters through the town. “WE WANT to preserve the small town aspect of Sperryville. Metropolitan people come through here to buy apples and baskets and antiques. They come because they wanted to be . in the country. If they had wanted a high speed highway, they could get on Interstate 95 and drive to Florida without a stop„ -light.” Gene Wray, planning engineer from the Highway Department explained why the project is needed. “Once the average daily traffic volume reaches a certain level, it is our standard procedure, subject to modification, to bring an arterial highway up io federal standards.” Wray said that an average of 4000 cars a day pass through Sperryville. The number is far more in the. summer and fall as tourists use Route 211 to get on the Skyline Drive. The Highway Department estimates that around 6000 cars a day will pass through Sperryville by 1995. WHEN WRAY mentioned this statistic, Pete Luke said, “We ought to remind you about the Martin and Clifford sewer study projections. They had this county growing by leaps and bounds, but since then even the number of automobiles registered has dropped off.” Several people in the audience questioned the necessity of a bypass. El mer Atkins asked: “Is the park service going to let you four-lane it’over the mountain?” When told that 211 would remain two lanes through the Shenandoah National Park, Atkins asked: “Well, if you’re bound to have a bottleneck up there, why spend all this money to four lane the Sperryville section?” LESTER DEAL reminded the highway officials that heavy traffic volume is only a seasonal thing and perhaps didn’t warrant such an expensive solution. Mrs. Carson B. Johnson also asked, “Why fourlane this little two-mile section when they’ll have to slow down for the park anyway?” She added, “We’ve got to think of this & thing in terms of dollars, too.” Highway authorities said that improving the road inside the town would cost approximately $990,000 while affyone of the bypass routes would cost nearly $2 million. Charles K. Estes wanted to know when the Highway Department would reach a See Page 10 B-r-r-r The first snow this year, though not the first of the season, fell in Rappahannock Tuesday lightly coating everything with ice and snow. The precipitation, however, was not enough to hinder the operation of schools. The stream banks were festooned Wednesday morning with a snow and ice glaze.

LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Road dilemma SOME SPERRYVILLE residents would rather have the Highway Department “improve” the roads running through their town, and not skirt the community by building bypasses. Some other people think maybe a bypass would be better. Both views are understandable, and good arguments can be made in support of both sides. But the question that seems most pertinent of all is why is the Highway Department so determined to four-lane all of those roads, anyway? By now, even the Highway Department must have heard about the “energy crisis” and the worries this has created for members of the motoring public. Why continue to build more roads or widen roads when there is a strong possibility that highway use might be rationed? As Supervisor Pete Luke pointed out the other night, there are vast superhighway projects already under way to serve roughly the same east-west corridor in which Sperryville is situated. Why build still more roads serving the same general purpose? AND, PERHAPS BETTER YET, why persist in running four-lane roads right up to a national park which will only allow a two-lane invasion of its sanctuaries? Even the Highwaymen admit that something of a classic bottleneck is in the offincr. - It .strikes us that the Sperryville case has a lot in common with many other highway building proposals these days—from 1-66 in the “inner Beltway” around the District of Columbia*to fourlaning of what were once country roads. Most of them could be postponed, certainly, or even for-' gotten, probably. We also realize, however, that once the Highway Department makes up its mind about something, there is little that can be done to dissuade their bulldozers. We don’t! want to discourage any of the different road factions in Sperryville by making this observation, but we do believe it should be kept in mind. □ - Amissville VFD elects The Amissville Volun-. teer Fire Department elec * ted officers at its January meeting last week, and Paul A.

On the whole, the proposal encompassed an 8% increase— which it was stated, does not quite keep in step with estimated cost-of-living increases. George Graham, president of the Rappahannock Education Association, was spokesman for the group, projecting the salary proposals along with other suggestions. Suggestions included a request for a planning period for each teacher; an elementary physical education teacher, a full-time art teacher, life insurance paid in full, health insurance paid for employes. Teacher’s aides are also requesting pay according to experience, accumulated leave and cost of living increases. Extra pay for extra duties was discussed concerning such things as SCA sponsor, senior play director, other class and club sponsors and yearbook director, chaperones for field trips and supervisoring adult education groups. A schedule of extra pay fees for sports events was submitted for study. AN OPEN discussion with questions and answers was conducted and the proposals were left with the board for s< will- Soon be' get meetings and activity planning, and these figures and suggestions are all relevant. The School Board officially accepted the resignation of Carter Ellis, high school instructor and basketball coach, and officially accepted Preston Lee Douglas to succeed Mr. Ellis. A detailed explanation of the vocational education program as outlined by the State Board of Education and funding was given by Robert Leonard, Director of Instruction. Rappahannock participates in vocational studies at the Piedmont Vocational School in Culpeper County, in addition to trade classes and home' economics classes held at the local, school. Funding these courses amounts to approximately $60,000, and about half of this cost is for the Piedmont classes. SUPERINTENDENT 0. A.

What do you do with an old school? THE OLD Scrabble school was the subject of some, talk last week at the Rappahannock Supervisors’ meeting; board members did some “thinking out loud’’ about what to do with it. The building has been abandoned since Rappahan nock County consolidated its schools. The county has been maintaining it since then. Supervisor Pete Luke brought it up. Noting the building’s “disrepair” and brush piled around it, Luke suggested the county should A PUBLIC hearing of interest to Virginia fishermen .will, be held at 2 p.m. on January 12 at the Hotel General Wayne in Waynesboro, according to . Game Commission Chairman Dr. Allan Hoffman. The hearing will be chaired jointly by Dr. Hoffman and Ralph Weaver, Commissioner from the Sixth Congressional District. ’ Items to be discussed on the meeting agenda will include, beginning at 2 p.m., a presentation of die new - proposed trout stream classification system for Virginia. This system is designed to provide information for the formulation , of management plans for all trout streams in the Commonwealth. . This would include the managing of trout streams according to their potential and should (1) help restore in-so-far as possible our native brook trout fishery, (2) create more diverse angling opportunities for Virginia trout fans, and (3) increase the number of trout streams brought under active management. At 3:30 p.m. dje hearing will be devoted, to a dis- cussion of the Shenandoah River fisheries. During this segment of the meeting the preliminary results of studies being conducted by staff members of the Commission’s Fish Division will be presented. AT APPROXIMATELY 5 p.m. a film entitled “The Way of a Trout” will be presented through the courtesy of the Trout Unlimited Chapters of Virginia. Local anglers and other interested individuals and groups are invited to attend and make their views known. Those unable to send a representative to the meeting may present their views by writing c/o Executive Director Chester F. Phelps, P.O.

The county would still own the site and might later bulldoze it for a sanitary landfill, Luke suggested. Newbill Miller said the county had kept the old school because it didn’t want to sell the land. That was now regarded as a mistake with other county properties that had been abandoned, he said. But Miller agreed with Luke— there is no point in the county \ maintaining the building" without any current or projected use. Board members noted the site was only two acres , and perhaps a bit small for a landfill. SOMEONE suggested the building could be used for storage for the school board. But the supervisors" gave up that idea, citing the distance of the old building from the schools and the lack of security for whatever was stored. Herbert Foster thought the county might sell the building and keep the land until it wanted to sell that, too, or found a use for it. “It’s just possible someone . might buy the building and haul it away or just to save the materials,” he said. The Supervisors came to no final decision about the old Scrabble school. RAPPAHANNOCK’S Supervisors will send letters to Governor - Elect Mills Godwin, State Senator George Aldhizer and Delegate D. French Slaughter concerning a proposed crossover on Route 211 at Amissville and the existing entrance of secondary Route 642 onto Route 211. The Highway Department is currently four - laning Route 211 at Amissville. In the design, a crossover between the old road and the two new lanes is located nearly a mile from the entrance of secondary Route 642. Highway authorities say the crossover cannot be placed across from the entrance of the secondary road because site distance and grade would make it unsafe. AT THE Supervisor’s meeting last week, resident highway engineer Don Askew said that locating the crossover at the secondary road entrance would necessitate ‘‘major work” on the old two lanes of Route 211. Askew said it was the Highway Department’s policy when four - laning a road to do as little work as possible on the old lanes. “It’s a matter of priority and money,” he said. The supervisors maintained that numerous cars will pour out of Route 642 onto 211, then have to drive a mile, and cross through the fast-moving lane, to turn at the crossover and go in the opp&ute direction. They believe this will be a safety hazard. According to Chairman Newbill Miller, the existing entrance of 642 onto 211 is unsafe anyway. He suggested that the supervisors include that comment in their request for redesigning of the project. AFTER THE meeting. don’t claim to be engineers. But we are asking our representatives for the highway department to consider redesigning the project.” Miller noted that a design favored by the supervisors will probably cost more money. “But in relation to the overall cost of the project and improved safety, we don’t think it’s too much to ask.”— Pekay Pettus Miller We NOTICE DOG TAGS DUE 1974 Dogs Tags Are Due On Or Before JANUARY 31, 1974 Certificates of Vaccination are required for purchase of tags and all unsexed females must have veterinarian’s certificate so stating.

Dog fees official Supervisors finally settle an By PEKAY PETTUS RAPPAHANNOCK’S Supervisors spent their first meeting of the new year talking about dog license fees, a topic they’d discussed for much of 1973. This time they apparently got the matter settled, at least for awhile. At their meeting last Thursday, the Supervisors readjusted the fees for kennel licenses that they’d adopted last month. But before they adjourned, they had to reverse their new decision to comply with state law. At the December meeting, the Supervisors had passed a new set of dog license fees which became effective immediately. But those fees had to be approved again in January, since a technicality prevented the December action from being legally binding. Although no one attended the hearing last week* to comment on the license fees, Chairman Newbill Miller said he had received “half a dozen” calls concerning the fee for kennels. The Supervisors raised the fees to $30 for a kennel of 15 dogs, and $50 for a kennel of 25 dogs. Last year the fees had been $15 for a kennel of 20* dogs add $25 for a kennel of 50 dogs. “What most people seemed to object to was not the increase in price,” Miller said, “but the fact that we cut the number of dogs.” Supervisor H. B. Wood agreed that the earlier decision appeared to be a bit unfair. “It wasn’t my intention to do that at all,” he said. Miller suggested a new WE MUSI SELL OUT TO THE\ BARE WALLS!

KIRKLAND’S FURNITURE & APPLIANCES, INC. 1099 No. Royal Ave., Front Royal, Va, scale—$30 for a kennel oi 20 dogs and $50 for _a kennel of 50 dogs. This way, kennel owners pay more than last year, but are allowed more dogs in a kennel than the Supervisors had decreed in December. LATER IN the meeting, Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis told the Supervisors that state law would not allow the Board to charge more than $15 for a kennel of 20 dogs and $25 for a kennel of 50 dogs, the same kennel rates as last year. The Supervisors adopted the state scale. Herbert Foster said the county probably won’t lose much by having the lower fees, since there are only a few kennels in Rappahannock County. Individual dog licenses will remain at the rate adopted by the supervisors in December: $3 for a male dog, $5 for a female dog, and $3 for an unsexed female. Proof of unsexing will be required. Newbill Miller suggested that Rappahannock County pass an ordinance making it a misdemeanor to abandon dogs, punishable by a $50 fine. Miller thought the misdemeanor clause could be incorporated ip the ordinance with the fee scale changes, thus another public hearing wouldn’t be needed. “If someone is abandoning a dog they’re trying to avoid paying for a license, ’ ’ he said. However, George Davis said a separate hearing would have to be held. Thus the Supervisors were assured they’d discuss dogs for another- month. WHILE discussing the dog problem, the Super-, visors agreed to pay Randall Updike for four lambs killed by dogs. Dog Warden Jack Bruce said two lambs were killed in August and two more in September. Updike has lost several more sheep, Bruce said, but since they were never found, the deaths could not be attributed to dogs. The Board agreed to conufusate Updike at $4(r75 per hundredweight. PETE LUKE reported on , his meeting with the Rappahannock - Rapidan Planning District Commission. “We contribute $1,100 to be a' member of this and K think we’re getting our money’s worth,” he said. The district commissioners will review all highway projects planned for the district and make sure the localities involved i are I informed; i-uke said. 1 - . js 8'US- '* i r*'r '■ He added that the district planning comipission is setting up a “criminal justice planning program” with state funds. Sheriff John WalKer; Jenkins, George Pavis, Commonwealth’^ Attorney, Mrs. Beverly Robson, probation officer, and Dr. Robert Le Garde of the Health Department, have been asked to participate as representatives of Rappahannock County, Luke said, Luke’s' response' to the district planning commission is “generally favorr able,” he said, but he warned: “We mustn’t let the planners take oyer the decision-making. They can do our homework for us. and we should use that service, but we hiust make the decisions.”, , , , • , THE PROBLEM of Overflowing trash, at collection points continued to concern the Supervisors. The problem has surfaced repeatedly, ever since, stale law forced Rappahannock to abandon the old county dump. Rappahannock County has a contract with Coipmunity TraSh of Culpeper Inc. to pick up the trash at die bins, or dumpsters, and dispose of it. . / , Herbert Poster requested that another diuppstier be placed at Huntiy hna<L R. Latham said an extra one is needed at Amissville. Pete Luke reminded the Board that it had doubled the size of the county's contract with Community Trash of Culpeper, because of the extra time they put in to collect trash scattered around the dumpsters.. | i - •** %'u i | “The problem is public abuse of the system,” Miller said. Pete Luke agreed, noting that few people failed to separate burnable items Or to flatten pasteboard boxes. “During World War II people realized they had to do their part, they cut the boxes, laid them in flat,” Luke said. “They can do it now.” “We’ve got to explain it so that people realize it will mean a tax increase unless they start cooperating, ’ ’ Miller said. The Supervisors' agreed that rental of several new dumpsters would be less expensive .than paying for extra trash picta4>.

More than 300 posters, asking smokers to be considerate of non-smokers, have been mailed by die Virginia Lung Association to all medical people practicing in the northern area of Virginia. The rights of the nonsmoker is the theme of National Education Week on Smoking, which will be observed from January 1117. The purpose of the campaign is to emphasize that “non-smokers have a right to breathe clean air and to influence smokers to show greater consideration for those who do not smoke by restricting their habit in private and public places.” A SPOKESMAN for the VLA, Northern Region (formerly TB-RD Association of Northern Virginia) stated that non-smokers constitute a two-to-one majority in relation to smokers. The non-smokers are now expressing themselves j? more and more in words 7 and actions to establish that their rights have priority over those of smokers, where these rights conflict. The “Please don’t smoke” emblem is based on an internationally used symbol, part of a series of safety and warning signs. It consists of a crossed-out cigarette within a circle. □ ^Dhe *\k)kite Shop South Gate Shopping Center, Culpeper JANUARY CUARANCE SAIE Once a Year Savings on Quality Apparel FOR MEN SUITS SPORTCOATS SLACKS SHIRTS SHOES REGULAR PRICES!

By-passing Sperry ville opposed From Page 1 decision on the plans. Pete Luke noted that the file on the project went back to 1958. Dennis Gilbert, an “environmental specialist” from the Highway Department, responded to Estes’s question. “Our division’s policy is that as soon as we get our input from the citizens, we start our inhouse study.” Gilbert estimated they would complete gathering information for the study file around March -1. A decision would come several weeks beyound that date, he said. PETE LUKE noted that people whose land might be affected by any of the proposed routes had been in a quandary for several years. “They may have wanted to do something with their property, expand their business or sell the land, but they haven’t known what the road will do to them.” Mrs. M. L. Biddle wanted to know if the bypass would be limited access. “Can it be built up?” she* asked. Resident Highway Engineer Don Askew explained that there are two types of bypasses — “limited acTHE VILLAGE SHOP Flint Hill, Va. Tues., Wed., Fri.andSat. 11-5 , cess” like the one around Culpeper, or the type like Warrenton has, ‘‘built up” with service stations and motels. Askew said that Sperryville’s bypass would be ‘‘limited access.” There would be only two or three. points of entry. In compiling their report, the Highway Department says they seek answers to four questions: Is there organized opposition to the project? Does it disrupt the community and its planned development? Is it consistent with, land use in the area? Does it comply with regional planning projections? Luke read a statement responding to these questions which he said represented the opinions of most members in the Sperry ville Community Group. FIRST, he cited organized opposition, noting there, is a list available to the Highway Department of people opposing a project. ‘‘At a hearing on the project in 1970, there were only four people who spoke. I think we can see from tonight that this is a lot more organized now.” As for disrupting the community and its planned development, Luke said that taking the traffic out of town would mean that many businesses inside Sperryville might close. “Sperryville is the highest density business section in Rappahannock Coun PLAN AHEAD DRIVE LESS SAVE GAS JOIN A CARPOOL CONTACT S.L.E.P FLINT HILL, VA. 22627 ty,” he said. “If these businesses close and we lose income in sales as well as the sales tax, everybody in Rappahannock County will have to pick up the tab.” Luke added that the state pro-rates sales tax money back to a county based on the amount of sales tax income generated in the county. “These businesses are the main and only source of support for most families who operate them, he said. “They don’t want to move somewhere else and retrain.” Mrs. Helen Kilby interrupted Luke. ‘ ‘I don’t think this statement is representative of Sperryville. You keep talking about the businessmen you’ve seen. What about the homeowners, the homesteads in the town? If you widen the road inside Sperryville you’ll take them.” Mrs. Kilby continued: “Some people have worked all their lives to have a home and bring up their kids. Yop can’t just take that away.” Luke said that once he finished reading the statement, he would welcome dissenting comments from anyone the room. On the question of land use, Luke said that Rappahannock County had stated its intention to remain “rural” a long time ago. “Rappahannock people fought to keep out the railroads and they’re fighting a power line now. “This county raises more apples than any other in the state. We are a productive rural county and we’ll lose some of our best farm land with this bypass.” Luke added that the county had just passed a zoning ordinance that protects against the destruction of scenic vistas. AS FOR regional planning, Luke emphasized that' the Shenandoah Park is not going to widen its section of road. There are two, big, four-lane interstates traveling east - west on either side of Rappahannock County. Interstate 66 'to the north and 64 to the south. There’s no real need to open up this road too.” Helen Kilby then said she did not favor widening the road in town. There are many people who are not riding through in Sperryville “to buy baskets and apples.” They just want to get through, she said. “We can put up a big sign on tne sperry vine ium off and those people who want to can come into town and shop at a leisurely rate. Then, those who want to can get through quickly.” Mrs. Kilby said traffic through town in the tourist season is so heavy and so fast now that those who want to get off and shop can’t. James Swindler said he favors improving the route inside the town. “The others will take the precious farm land that we can never get back,” he said. “You can condemn my house? I . can move that; But I can’t move my land.” CHARLES ESTES asked the Highway Department representatives if they had a preference among the proposed routes. “I don’t have one,” responded Gene Wray. “I’ve just been assigned to this project for three weeks and we’re still trying to gather information. I won’t make up my mind until I’ve heard from the people but here.” Luke asked all persons in the room who support the Sperryville Community Group’s statement to stand. Less than ten of the some 80 persons attending remained seated. □ FLINT HILL NEWS - Members of the Administrative Board of Flint Hill United Methodist Church will meet Monday, January 14, 7:30 p.m. at the home of H.

We have in this county abun\ dant untapped talent resources—many former professionals. There are many roles in this play, a few of which require some simple singing ability, but far from all of them. However, aside < from the acting parts, there is a need for mu' sicians, stage crew, costumers and technicians.” . •'‘We hope many residents of the county will show up for next Tuesday’s cast call,” continued Graham. “The cause is worthy and the winter is long.

New rural conservation program THEJpU.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has announced the operation and funding for fiscal year 1974 of the new Rural Environmental Conservation Program authorized by the Agriculture and Consumer Protection Act of 1973 and the Water Bank Program. Total funding level for the two programs, the Department said, will be $100 million. RECP will receive $90 million and Water Bank $10 million. RECP is a new program which carries forward some features of the old Rural Environmental Assistance Program but with increased emphasis on tree planting in States and counties to be designated. Annual cost-share agreements will be used as well as phasing-in of the title x authority in the farm act which authorizes the'Secretary to enter into longterm cost-share agreements with landowners to establish conservation practices. These programs will help landowners establish and follow recommended permanent type conservation practices while farmers are being called on for all-out production We Can Supply All Your Building” JSir## CULPEPER BUILDING & SUPPLY CORP.

Blind licenses and certain other fees are also scheduled for increase under the new plan. THE BASIC state resident-hunting license fee was set at the present $3.50 level in 1949, and the basic state resident fishing license fee was raised from $3 to today’s $3.50 level in 1961. “The increases are conincrease would generate sidered moderate in view of current inflationary trends, particularly since the Commission’s operating budget now exceeds its license income, which will force curtailment of capital expenditures,” said Phelps. Passage of a license fee approximately one and three quarter million dollars annually which would be sufficient to maintain operations at the present level. If not granted, cutbacks would be mandatory. This could also result in the possible loss Of matching Federal Funds.□ MOYERS MOTOR CO., INC.

Vegetable gardening in the winter months Another in a series on home horticulture by Wesley P. Judkins, Virginia Tech Extension horticulturist. % HOME GARDENERS like to practice their skill during the winter as well as the summer. This may be done by raising foliage or flowering plants indoors. Have you also considered the possibility of producing vegetables in the house? This can be an interesting hobby and will provide a limited 'harvest of food. A few may be grown as house plants, or in a planter, but do not expect miracles. Try only about five vegetables such as chive, parsley, pepper, tomato, and radish. Many others have befen suggested for the indoor' minigarden, but are not as Weil adapted to home conditions as those suggested here, You will need some pots or buckets six inches in diameter and larger. Use a fertile soil mixture with a high humus content. Provide good drainage with broken;crockery and crushed stone or gravel in the bottom of each pot £HIVE is % fine crop for the kitchen garden. It grows like small onions jtrith leaves about six inches tall. These plants -prefer cool conditions and jgood light, but Will grow ' Quite well on a'window sill*” in the kitchen: - - One or two pots of chiyes will provide leaves for seasoning salads and soup. Plant seeds or small bulbs in a six inch pot. The plants should be about one inch apart over, the entire surface area. It will require about 12 weeks from the time seeds are planted until leaves can be cut. 3 Parsley is another good Get tie most from life Roviaw your Ufa Insurance program pahodteady.

Plant seeds directly into six ihch pots, or transplant young healthy plants from the garden. One vigorous plant per pot is enough. Parsley develops attractive, green, curly leaves about six or eight inches tall. It wilkp^equire about 10 or 12 weeks after planting the seeds before leaves can be clipped for garnish. THE TINY TIM tomato may be raised quite satisfactorily in the home. One plant in a 10 inch pot will challenge your gardening ability, and supply some small cherry size fruits which can be eaten whole or served with salad. The Tiny Tim tomato grows to a height of about 12 to 15 inches. You may also try the new. Small Fry which is about three feet tall. The paste type tomato Roma may also be grown indoors. These will need more space than Tiny Tim and should be located on a porch or in a conservatory setting. Some of the small fruited peppers may be grown as house plants. Like tomatoes, they prefer warm conditions and may grow quite well for you. Fruits will be ready to harvest from peppers and tomatoes in about 10 weeks after planting.

Boyle, District Director for Virginia. This recognition follows the school’s recently announced admission policy of racial nondiscrimination for students to all school activities. The ruling was issued under the statement of position announced by the IRS on July 10, 1970, concerning the tax exempt status of private schools. In that statement the IRS concluded that it could no longer legally justify recognizing exempt status to private schools that practice racial discrimination. Nor can it allow gifts to such schools to be treated as NORSE SALE Saturday, Jan. 12 1 p.m. FAUQUIER LIVESTOCK EXCHANGE MARSHALL, VA. 703-304-4881 charitable deductions for income tax purposes. The IRS position is applicable to all private schools throughout the United States. “The Carrot Seed Center School has publicized its racially nondiscriminatory policy in a local newspaper,” noted Boyle. Where a school has public ly announced sl racially^ nondiscriminatory policy, Mr. Boyle explained that for purposes of issuing a ruling IRS will assume that such a policy has been adopted and will be maintained in good faith. This is in accord with normal IRS procedures in processing requests for rulings based on future activities.□ ‘Gold* checks start arriving DURING the early part of January 1974, welfare recipients in three categories—old age assistance, aid to the blind, and aid to the permanently and totally disabled—started receiving their first checks under the new Supplemental Security Program, according to Mrs. Hazel F. Crumpton, district manager of the Winchester, social security office. Many other persons who are not receiving assistance from the local welfare offices will also be getting their first checks under the new Supplemental Security Income Program during the first half of January. ; These checks will be issued by the federal government, and will be gold in color as opposed to the usual green colored federal checks. Mrs. Crumpton stated that people working in banks and stores who us ually cash welfare checks should also be aware of this change so that they will readily recognize the new checks. They should cash these checks with proper identification, according to their policy just like any other federal check such as social security. □ 7 COMPLETE ONE-STOP Bvildiig Svpply I Hardware Paint i Z !
