Rappahannock News, July 4, 1974

c iV/Rg/N/A' VA. STATS LIBRARY RICHMOND 19, VA. County needs Local law enforcement leads survey list A “NEED to improve local law enforcement” leads the list in two surveys conducted “as an educational service” by the Rappahannock County Extension Office. Twenty-seven per cent of persons contacted in a “random” survey list this as their number one priority for Rappahannock, and 24 per cent of those contacted among community “leadership” reached the same conclusion. Both survey groups also agreed on their answer to the question, “What would you like to sperRappahannockNC ouaty like in five, ten or twenty years from now?” Twenty-three of 49 persons surveyed at “random” answered “Like is,” and 49 of 72 in the “leadership” surveyagreed. By “Like is,” it was explained that this included “natural bequty, rural character, open space and agriculture.” ACCORDING TO Rapley Owings, Extension Agent, the “Leadership and Problem Identification Survey” was done by a two-step process, “or really two surveys.” He elaborated on how it was done. “The first group of individuals to be interviewed was selected on a random basis. “Numbers representing the total number of registered voters in each magisterial district were placed in a container. Numbers equal to a two percent sample were drawn from each magisterial district. The numbers were then match ed with the names on the voters’ list. If that person could not be located, the name immediately above and then below, in that order were interviewed.” These individuals selected by the “Random” method were interviewed and asked three questions: “1. (a) Will you indicate some concerns or problems as you see them in Chester Gap fair begins CHESTER GAP fire and rescue squad personnel opened their annual fund raising carnival Wednesday night and it will continue through Saturday. Features of the event are a brilliant display of fireworks set for Thursday night, a queen coronation Friday and selection of an honorary fire chief Saturday along with the awarding of the grand prize and other cash prizes. Rides, food, entertainment, fun and bright lights fill the mountain top and ex - tend a warm welcome to carnival goers. Many games of various kinds offer excitement for all ages. The entire atmosphere is Flea Market NEARLY EVERYTHING from A to Z—including antiques, attic and basement treasures, books, dried flowers, etchings and engravings, frozen custard, fun, games, interesting gifts, paintings, portraits, pottery, souvenirs, used clothing, watercolors, you name it—were scheduled to be available at the Fourth of July Flea Market on the streets of Washington, Va., between the hours of 1 and 5 p.m. on July 4th. Exhibitors and charitable organizations representing the entire county, and dealers from Culpeper, Luray, and Baltimore, Md. are offering items to tempt every purse. Box lunches were prepared by the First Baptist Church of Washington for a delicious food break between the Flea Market and the evening fireworks at Avon Hall. The Flea Market is sponsored by the Rappahannock Recreation Association and proceeds from this year’s event will help get the new Rappahannock Recreation Center under way. A grant of $15,000 was awarded by the state last week, but more money, in the form of income from the Flea Market and per - sonal donations will be needed to support the proposed Center. wholesome, with family entertainment. There will be a Saturday afternoon matinee at the Chester Gap carnival when rides and games will be open from 2 until 4 p.m.L your community. “(b) Will you indicate some concerns, or problems as you see them in Rappahannock County? “2. Please give us names of individuals whose good judgement you respect and who are concerned about the county (men, women, black or white). “3. What would you like to see Rappahannock County be like in say 5, 10, or 20 years from now?” This completed step one of our process or the first Random Survey. “FROM THIS Random Survey, we used the names of individuals whose name came up a predetermined number of times in question two,” said Owings. These names were com piled and here began step two of our process or the Leadership and Problem Identification Survey. We continually added names to the leadership as leaders were interviewed. This procedure was followed till an established cut-off date. “The results of these two surveys (the Randojn and The Leadership ana Problem Identification) w^re compiled separately. Then tables of comparison were set up on the main issues and responses. These comparison tables show how the individuals on the Random survey responded in relation to those individuals on the Leadership and Problem Identification Survey.” See Page 7 Cindy, April and Chris Williams try the hobby horses for size in preparation for the opening Wednesday of the Chester Gap carnival.

LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Enough laws VIRGINIANS ar^ advised to step carefully for the next day or so. It\might even take longer, really. We give this advicb^because on Monday, 650 new Virginia laws went intci effect, compliments of the 1974 General Assembly^ By one estimate, counting all the amendments and so forth, the changes actually total 860. Isn’t that ridiculous? Six-hundred-and-fifty or 860 new rules and regulations for dealing with a way of life that was already covered by who knows how many hundreds, nay thousands, of rules and regulations. One of the most baffling legal concepts to youngsters just entering upon civic awareness is that “ignorance of the law is no excuse.” What better excuse? How many lawyers, or judges, feel confident that as of Monday they were fully in compliance with the laws of the Commonwealth? VIRGINIA Senator Harry Byrd strikes us as excessively negative in many of his present representations in Washington, but we still remember a phase of his career that elicited unabashed admiration. While serving in the State Legislature, he declared firmly that we had enough laws already, and he steadfastly refused to vote for any new ones. It was one of the most sensible legislative acts we’ve ever heard of.D Traffic deaths THE LOWEST February traffic death toll in Virginia since 1961, the lowest April one since 1963, the lowest May one since 1962 and the lowest June one since 1971 combined to give Virginia the lowest total for the first half of a year since 1963, says Colonel H. W. Burgess, Superintendent of State Police. He noted that February deaths were down 90-50 from 1973, April 97-73, May 122-62 and June 13189. On the other hand, he said, January deaths were up 77-79 and March 9195. Total for the first half of 1974 was 452 while that for 1973 was 608. Colonel Burgess observed that in spite of the heavy increases in bicycle and motorcycle use, bicycle deaths stood at only seven, or two above 1973’s comparable score and motorcycle deaths were even at 28. Deaths of servicemen were up from 18 to 19. Pedestrian deaths dropped from 90 to 73 and Colonel Burgess said this was also hard to explain in the light of increased walking due to the gasoline shortage. ALL 1974 statistics, he said, are subject to slight upward revisions due to late reports and deaths of persons now carried as injured. Tentative national statistics released by the National Safety Council for the first four months of 1974 give 12,480 deaths as against 16,500 for the same period of 1973. “Close-ups” Ordinary gravel was featured in the Close-Up contest last week and was correctly identified by three readers.

Medicare insurance premiums go up MONTHLY premiums on the medical insurance part of Medicare went up starting July 1. The basic premium rate will go from $6.30 to $6.70 a month, according to Mrs. Hazel F. Crumpton, social security district manager in Winchester. The medical insurance helps pay doctor bills and other medical expenses and is funded by individual premiums and Federal general revenues. The protection is offered automatically to people reaching 65 who are eligible for social security benefits—and to disabled people under 65 who have been entitled to social security disability benefits for 24 consecutive months or more. “The Medicare law requires an annual review of the cost of the medical insurance program and adjustment of the monthly premium rate to cover the estimated medical expenses of Medicare patients,’’ Mrs. Crumpton said. “The 40-cent increase in July is related to a rise in the cost of medical services and compares to a 50-cent increase in the medical insurance basic monthly premium rate in 1973,” she added. MEDICARE hospital insurance premiums must also be increased starting July 1. “The basic premium rates will go from $33 to $36 a month,” she said. Hospital insurance protection is extended auto matically, without premium charge, to people reaching 65 who are eligibel for social security or railroad retirement benefits—and to disabled people under 65 who have been entitled to social security disability benefits for 24 consecutive months or more. “People 65 and over who aren’t eligible for social security benefits can get Medicare hospital insurance by paying a monthly premium if they also sign up for the medical insurance,’’ Mrs. Crumpton said. The hospital insurance premium rate is based on the average monthly Medicare hospital insurance payment for patients who have the protection. ABOUT 23 million people have one or both parts of Medicare. In 1973, the hospital insurance program paid $7.1 billion in benefits and the medical insurance program paid $2.5 billion. Medicare is administered by the Social Security Administration, an agency of the U. S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. “People can get information about signing up for Medicare by calling, writing, or visiting any social security office,” she said. The Winchester social security office is at 20 S. Cameron St. The jphone number is 667-1511.i_, County track A GROUP of Rappahannock young people have participated in track meets at James Wood High School in Winchester this summer. They have been coached by Miss AnnSpieker, a member of the faculty of the local high school. Seven competed in the “all-comers” track and field meet last Saturday and did well in the events. Classes were divided according to age groups. In the 12-13 age group, Penny Jett took a first in shot; second in the 440 and third in the 100 yard dash. Marie Fletcher entering the 14-15 age group placed first in shot and second in the shot. Faye tootv firsts in high jump, 220 and 100 yard runs. SHELIA BAILEY joined Marie, Faye and Laverne for a first in the 880 relay. Milton Fletcher entered the 16-17 age groups for boys and placed first in the triple jump and third in the long jump. In the 10 and under group, Harold Chunn was second in the 10 and 100yard dashes. Miss Spieker captured a first in the predicted mile. -

T H E FOR COTTON MILLER A hobby graduates into a business BY PEKAY PETTUS COTTON MILLER just hung out her shingle last month, but she’s been busy doing picture framing, flower drying and decoupage for more than ten years. One room in her basement workshop is full of the things she’s done, dried flower arrangements pressed under glass against a velvet background, bright colored tole paintings on trays, plaques and trash cans, decoupaged pocketbooks and lots of pictures belonging to other people that she has framed. Another room is brimming with the raw materials she needs for her work. Bundles of baby’s breath, yarra, money plant and pear leaves hang from the beams. There's a tall stack of boxes, labeled "large buttercups" or "small buttercups" And stashed inside, between layers of tissue paper, are hundreds of delecalely pressed buttercup blossoms. And there are sc’ores of picture frame "corners" samples of the type frames Mrs. Milletcan make. “THIS IS JUST my downstairs drying room," Mrs. Miller said. “My attic is full of boxes of sand. In those I have the flowers that can’t be dried, that have to be pressed under weight of the sand. Like peonies and roses.” The blossomed plants dry to suit Mrs. Miller, but the bundles of foliage she kind of “helps.” “I use a mixture of onethird glycerign and twothirds water. That makes foliage a richer, browner color. And after it dries it leaves a hard film on the leaves, making them stronger and easier to preserve.” Mrs. Millerusually uses pear leaves or mountain laurel for “background foliage” when she makes her dried arrangements. Contrary to what many people think, decoupage is not hard. Mrs. Miller said. "All you have to do is lay the print you're using against the surface, then glue it tightly and put on enough coats of clear varnish to 'sink' the print, so \ou don't feel it when you run your finger across the surface. This often means 30 coats. Hut sometimes. if the print it self is especially thick. I'll sand the back of it." Each coat of varnish can Annual Pit-Cooked BARBECUE Sat./ July 6th 5 to 9 p.m. sponsored by Amissville Ruritan Club Amissville Carnival Grounds Pit-cooked beef with barbecue sauce and accompanying vegetables, salad, drink and dessert. ALL YOU CAN EAT! $3 Adults $2 Children only be applied after the previous coat has dried, Mrs. Miller explained. So, doing decoupage isn’t just an afternoon’s project. “IF MY CUSTOMER isn’t in a hurry, I just take several days to get all the coats on. But sometimes people want whatever it is I’m decoupaging for them in a couple of days. Then I find myself getting up at 2 o'clock in the morning to slap another coat on.’’ Mrs. Miller’s handicrafts have become wellknown around Rappahannock and Madison, so she could take her time before hanging out the sign, near Peola Mills, that reads only “picture framing." “People are always dropping by or calling," she said, “telling me they have to go to a baby shower or need a wedding present. 'Cotton w hat have you got ready?' they .want to know .' “Sometimes I'm pretty well stocked. But then there's one shower that a lot of people are going to or someone just comes along and wipes me out." Mrs. Miller said. “1 don’t have so much in the shop now as I usually do." Mrs. Miller sells a lot of “tole painted" trays and plaques. “My daughter in Winston-Salem (N. C.)does all my tole painting for me; See Page 5 Cotton Miller uses a miter saw to make a picture frame.

The design is then painted inside the stenciled area and once it dries, several coats of varnish are applied. MRS. MILLER has some tole-painted trays with designs of bright fruit and lots of plaques on which little girls wearing big wide brimmed hats or puppies and kittens have been painted. “I do a lot of business „ with people from Culpeper • and Fredericksburg.” Mrs. Miller said. “I always tell them, ‘Surely, down in the city you could have bought something nicer than anything I make.’ * But I think part of the reason they come to me is they like to drive up in the country,” she said. “Perhaps too, I’m a little less expensive. I don’t have to worry about overhead and things like that. I hate to charge as much as I do, but, after all, I’ve had to buy the tray or trash can or pocketbook that I put the design on.” “I REALLY JUST enjoy making things for my own youngsters—gifts for weddings or graduations that would be expensive for them to buy if they didn’t have ‘mama’ to do it for them,” Mrs. Miller said. “That’s really more important to me than selling things.” Mrs. Miller retired three years ago as . principal at Criglersville Elementary School. “I wanted more time for my hobby.

ANOTK VIEWPOINT Visitors urged to be tidy, or stay out From the Madison Eagle ESCAPING CROWDED, polluted, asphalt jungles seems to be the city resident’s main goal each and every weekend. Getting away from the rat-race to the beautiful, unpolluted, green, unspoiled mountains brings carloads of nature-loving city folks to Madison County. They seem to find hiking, camping, and just driving good ways to enjoy the scenery. Old Rag mountain seems to be the big favorite. Its beauty is a giant to the eye when driving down heavily travelled Route 231. It is little wonder that the majestic mountain lures people to its many trails. Since Old Rag has become so famous from city to city, the National Park Service went to the expense and trouble to build a $5,000 parking lot, .8-of-a-mile from the beginning of the trails up the mountain. This was to help parking situation which arose when there were so many cars that State Police had to tow vehicles which were blocking roads and presenting hazards to other drivers. THE GREEN, unspoiled mountain has become polluted, a type of pollution that one doesn't hear about much: people pollution. People are flooding the trails, there is none of that desired quiet and privacy. Instead of escaping massed humanity, the crowds are flowing into congealed floods. The new parking lot isn’t getting all the cars, there are still illegally parked vehicles blocking the roads and it is a problem to get to the parking lot at the base of the mountain where the trails begin. If a driver makes his way up there looking for a parking place or enjoying the scenery, he had better know some fancy maneuvers for turning around. Why the new parking lot if hikers don’t park in it, and the parking situation has gotten worse? What is an extra .8-of-amile, if one is going to hike up a mountain anyway? The extra fraction of a mile is mostly flat, so there is no strenuous walking. Trash is a shock. Tin cans, bottles, candy wrappers clutter the landside. The hiker leaves his count in litter. It seems in every group of people, there must be the rotten-egg bunch to make their presence obvious by the trash they leave. Beauty-conscious hikers are offended by thoughtless litterbugs. Some do more than their share to help; in one case, a woman hiker carried a bag and collected trash when she came down the trail. But, it seems to be only a handful of this type. IN FRUSTRATION, disgust, and actual hurt from seeing Old Rag treated so brutally, the suggestion is; close it down to all people who can’t respect its beauty and keep it clean. If there’s no vacancy in the parking areas, go to another mountain. The guy who said, “put a gate at all roads leading into the county” had the right idea. He should have outlined a plan.D MRS.

I don’t blame him. “The study of man is man.” “Study thyself to be approved of God.” “Know thyself.” The study of astrology was not looked on with favor by the writers of the Bible, but it seems to me that to know your better qualities and develope them and to know your natural leanings toward so-called evil and counter them is actually heeding the Scriptures—to know thyself. Are there soul-mates? Does a man really love but once in a life time? If there are soul-mates; I believe there are, does everyone meet his mate once in each life, or does he sometimes fulfill some karmic debt, and be denied? If he does not meet her should he live a life of abnegation, trying to make himself worthy at such a time they might be re-united? There is a doctrine that teaches that one mate might progress more rapidly than the other into the spiritual plane, while the other must complete their cycle on the mundane. There being a possibility that such may be true, let us not be dilatory in our soul’s advancement. “Whatsoever things are good think on these things.”□ PAINTING — EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR.
