VA. STATE LIBRAE? U Rappahannock sets its tax rate By DAPHNE McCULLOUGH FARMERS turned out in force for the Rappahannock Supervisors’ budget hearing Thursday, June 24, at the Courthouse in Washington. Tliey came to protest the advertised budget and its accompanying $4.40 tax rate, which would be a 50-cent increase over last year. “You gentlemen should learn to shear sheep rather than skim 'em, they last longer that way,” James Rollison told the Supervisors. “This year we’ve got a 40 percent hay crop and a ten percent apple crop. It costs me 40 cents a pound to raise a cow that only brings 38 cents a pound. Everywhere you look, the farmer’s losing. Who gives it to the farmer so he can stay in farming?” Newbill Miller, a former Siqrervisor, presented figures that showed a 66 percent increase in taxes at the local level since 1974. Miller alleged that if present trends continue, farming will become impossible in Rappahannock County. Herbert Foster, another former Supervisor, maintained that farmers should have been in on budget considerations, and “small businesses, too. We can’t hardly make ends meet. Where’s the revenue coming from when the little farmers go out of business? . . .If taxes go so high that the farmer can’t farm, then he has to sell his land to be subdivided.” Foster warned that the people moving into those subdivisions would have a lot of children, and school facilities and other services would have to be expanded, forcing taxes up even further. “I WOULD like to recommend that this Board cut the budget everywhere possible. Cut the raises (awarded to county employes holding constitutional offices by the State Compensation Board) and let the Compensation Board take action,” concluded Foster. Supervisor unairman reie L,uive answered that cutting out all the raises given to county employes wouldn’t amount to enough to lower the tax rate. He said that $90,000 had been cut from the original budget by the Supervisors at a meeting with Clerk Ned Jones and County Accountant Walter Cox. In an effort to hold costs down, Luke said he had written a letter to the State Compensation Board requesting that raises for constitutional offices be held to five percent. The Commissioner of the Revenue and County Treasurer received five percent increases while the Commonwealth’s Attorney and Sheriff received ten percent. Expenses for the Commonwealth’s Attorney office were cut by $350 and the Sheriff’s office did not get an additional position that had been requested, or authority to hire a part-time deputy, according to Luke. In the areas of public assistance and health, Luke said the Supervisors could exercise no control, as salaries are set by the State. Seventyfive percent of the budget, said Luke, relates to educational costs. COMMONWEALTH’S Attorney George Davis complained that the advertised budget was misleading. “These are phony figures as far as I’m concerned.” Cox explained that some confusion was due to bookkeeping methods and changes in funding procedures. Instead of paying only a portion of salaries for constitutional offices, with the state resSee Pace 13 Food, fun, fanfare for the Fourth FUN, food, fanfare and fireworks will be the order of the day when Rappahannock County celebrates the Fourth of July Sunday with a country fair which will begin after the noon hour.

MRS. SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Facing the future THE Nation’s Bicentennial birthday is reaching an official climax this weekend, and amid all the fireworks and festivities there should also be room for sober reflection. Since this newspaper’s special concern is the beautiful Northern Piedmont area of Virginia, it seems only appropriate torefleet upon what the Bicentennial year means to this beautiful countryside, and its pros - pects for surviving much longer as a clean, inspiring, productive environment. While the nation marks its 200th birthday, Virginia has really been “home” to Western culture for some 300 years, and as one conservationist has noted, much of this beautiful country has remained essentially unchanged during that entire period. It was immediately molded as a North American adaptation of an English countryside, complete to conveniently located towns and villages, and then enjoyed and utilized with few major changes since. Even a bloody war left it largely unmarked. Technical innovations such as the railroad merely served to strengthen the village-country pattern. But in the past few years, more changes have taken place than transpired in the entire preceding 300 years. The next few years could wipe this beautiful agriculturalvillage culture off the face of the earth, if present trends continue. IS THIS what the present generation really wants to leave to the future? Are people today really comfortable with the fact that the rich, beautiful heritage which was given to them is being destroyed in the name of immediate profit, with no regard for generations to come? Apparently, a great many people are indeed willing to destroy something rare and precious in the interests of quick, short-term monetary gain. Let us hope, as the nation turns its 200th anniversary corner, that something more exalted than greed will prevail in the years, decades and centuries to come, so that the nation’s next major milestone won’t be situated in a paved, polluted wasteland.

Letters to the editor Vineyard thriving Editor: Congratulations on your timely and level headed commentory on the potential for growing high quality wine in the Piedmont. I say level headed because any enterprise is not without its risks, particularly so in agriculture as you imply in your editorial. I have started a modest 100 vine personal vineyard in Rap pahannock from Dr. K. Frank’s graftings last year. We do not consider, at this time, this effort is more than experimental, but the vines have shown good growth and their health looks quite good this season. Henry S. Ozarko Castle Town Vineyard Castleton 4-H tour The summer 4-H tour is scheduled for Wednesday, August 4, and will be a trip to Kings Dominion near Richmond. 4-H members and parents are invited to go on the tour. 4-H’ers between the ages of 9 and 19 may go and anyone under age 9 must be accompanied by a parent.

County Agent Llewellyn Allison suggest each person take a bag lunch or picnic lunch and be sure to wear comfortable shoes. This bus will depart from the courthouse grounds at Washington at 8 a.m. and return at 5 p.m. For information call the Extension Office 375-3619. Right-turn-on-red law not good until Jan. 1 THE Highway Safety Division of Virginia issued a reminder to all Virginia drivers that the RightTurn-On-Red law, passed by the 1976 session of the General Assembly, does NOT go into effect until January 1, 1977. “Because of the attention the law received earlier this year, there has been some confusion as to when it becomes effective,” GAUGE TESTING Canning season is here and persons should be sure all equipment and supplies are in good working order. To be sure pressure canners, are working properly, there will be a pressure canner gauge testing clinic at the Rappahannock County Extension Office on Wednesday, July 14, 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. and Thursday, July 15, 10 a.m. to Noon. said John T. Hanna, director of the Division. “We want to emphasize that the general right turn rule does not go into effect until January 1, 1977,” Hanna said. ing: “No Turn on Red.” JAN Currently the state of Virginia operates on the so-called “sign permissive” rule which allows right turns on red only at intersections with the posted sign“Right Turn on Red After Stop.” Only 8.6 percent of the intersections with traffic signals in Virginia have such a sign. After January 1, 1977, right turns on red after a complete stop will be allowed at all intersections in the state unless a sign is posted stat M ON RED JARY 1,1977 THE new law was passed by the legislature after extensive research which indicated a substantial savings in time and money for Virginia drivers. It is estimated that the new law will save approximately three million gallons of gasoline per year. Research also indicated a decrease in the number of accidents at right turn on red intersections. Some 27 states, including West Virginia, North Carolina and Kentucky, are now using the general right turn on red rule. “Because the law will mean a rather dramatic change from what Virginia drivers have been accustomed to, we are planning a massive public education program to begin near the end of the year,” Hanna said. “We plan to explain to everyone how to use the new law as well as to announce that it becomes effective on January 1,” he said.

Washington was a Virginia farmer GEORGE Washington may have been a Revolutionary leader and the first president of the United States, but in many of his diaries he sounds like a typical Virginia farmer. Washington’s diaries, which will be published next month by the University Press of Virginia, reveal his passion for crops, fruits and flowers, and his notes very nearly constitute a synopsis of 18th-century horticulture, according to Dr. Donald Jackson, editor of “The Papers of George Washington” at the University of Virginia. Washington seems unaware that any other eyes will see, or need to see, what he is writing in the diaries, and we find him a warmer, more human man than his pragmatic and lusterless national image—a man given to wry humor and towering rage, Dr. .larksnn said The six volumes of diaries that will be published in late July are the first of a projected 60to 75- volume series of “The Papers of George Washington.” The editing of the papers, a joint project of the University and the Mount Vernon Ladies’ Association of the Union, was begun in 1968 and is expected to take some 20 years to complete. Dr. Jackson’s staff of researchers has tracked down and collected more than 125,000 letters to and from Washington so far. While more than 50 of Washington’s personal diaries were located, others have been lost because many people didn’t realized their value. “One of his early biographers gave away pages from his diaries purely as samples of Washington’s handwriting,” Dr. Jackson said. THE diaries, which span the years 1748 to 1799, begin with Washington’s account, written as a boy of 16, of a surveying expedition to western Virginia for Lord Fairfax. The volumes also include two dramatic military journals that recount the opening phases of the French and Indian War in 1754 and Washington’s summary of events surrounding the Battle of Yorktown in 1781 and the final days of the Revolution. The diaries covering the years 1766 to 1770, however, reveal the joys and concerns of Washington the successful country squire, said Dr. Jackson. “The rigorous schedule of sowing and harvesting Mount Vernon’s crops is punctuated by the pleasure of fox-hunting, the theater and family gatherings, and by public duties as vestryman, magistrate and burgess,” lie continued. The diaries also chronicle one of Washington’s great preoccupations, during his whole career in agriculture, to find the right crops for the soil, climate and practical needs of his Mount Vernon establishment, according to Dr. Jackson. “The number of crops Washington raised or attempted to raise numbered well over 60 and included barley, clover, corn, carrots, peas, potatoes and wheat,” he said. “At one time he used a seven-year crop rotation, a novel idea when he first became a farmer in the early 1760s.” WAS Washington a good farmer? “He had to be,” explained Dr. Jackson. “He had more than 200 slaves to feed before he could begin to sell his cash crops—tobacco in the early days and wheat and flour later on.” Even when he was writing as a farmer, however, Washington’s strong leadership is apparent. Four days before he died, Washington wrote: “There is one thing however I cannot forbear to add, and in strong terms; it is, that whenever I order a thing to be done, it must be done; or a reason given at the time, or as soon as the impracticability is discovered, why it cannot; which will produce a countermand, or change.” Any other course of action was disagreeable to him, Washington ^ said, “having been accustomed all my life to more regularity, and punctuality, and know that nothing but system and method is required to accomplish all reasonable requests.” Comments on state mental health plan are invited THE STATE mental health plan required by a new federal law has been completed by the Department of Mental Health and Mental Retardation. The public may comment on this plan during the month of June. Under the provisions of Public Law 94-63 (Community Mental Health Centers Amendments of 1975), the Department of Mental Health and Mental Retardation must submit a state mental health plan to the Department of Health, Education and Welfare by July 1, 1976. The federal government uses state plans to justify appropriations, review and evaluate programs, measure progress, and recognize and share innovations among the states. Dr. Paul R. Ahr, assistant commissioner for planning, evaluation and training for the Department of Mental Health and Mental Retardation, said the mental health document consists of two major sections. The first section contains the Department’s goals and objectives for developing mental health programs in Virginia over the next five years. The second part of the plan details the development of mental health services in the 38 catchment areas in Virginia. P.L. 9463 requires the state to be divided into catchment areas to help determine their need for mental health services. COMMUNITY Mental Health and Mental Retardation Services Boards across Virginia wrote plans for mental health services for their respective catchment areas^_ Nine services should be available in each catchment area: inpatient, outpatient, and emergency (24-hour) services; partial hospitalization; alternative housing, such as group homes or halfway houses; diagnostic services for all groups, including elderly people and children; consultation and education; information and referral and rehabilitation services. Copies of the state mental health plan are available for review at the Department of Mental Health and Mental Retardation, 109 Governor Street, 13th floor, Madison Building, Richmond, 23219. Expanded program for aging proposed THE Rappahannock - Rapidan Area Agency on Aging, working with its parent body (the Chapter 10 Services Board) and with its citizen advisory council, has completed a plan forehanded services to older persons in Planning District Nine in the coming year. The completed plan will be discussed at public hearings to be held on Wednesday, July 7, at 1 p.m. in the Warrenton Presbyterian Church; and on Friday, July 9, at 1 p.m. in the Orange Presbyterian Church.

As this is the first year of operation for the Area Agency on Aging, many of the proposed efforts are limited in scope and will serve as pilot programs which will eventually be expanded if successful. Use of volunteer resources, especially the skills older persons themselves can offer, is heavily emphasized throughout the plan in accord with the philosophy that services which are truly provided by the community ultimately prove to be the most successful, the most enduring and the most cost-efficient. THE major objectives of the plan include: (1) Provision of outreach, to inform older persons of available services and benefits; (2) Provision of individual social services counseling to help link older persons with needed services; (3) Provision of transportation services; (4) Provision ofin-hom^ health and group health programs. (5) Expansion of the Nutrition Services program; (6) Exploration of a housing repair program; and (7) Study of community reaction to a discount program for older persons and, if appropriate, development of such a program.

Saturday the Hobsons were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Schaffner in Luray at a birthday dinner for FISH service to begin Beginning July 1 anyone in Rappahannock County in need of help can call 987-8200 and a Christian service organization with the ancient symbol of FISH will swing into action. If there is an emergency need for transportation a desire to talk with a minister, or a question about food stamps—any problem that volunteer workers can help solve—call 987-8200. An answering device will automatically refer the caller to the telephone volunteer for the day. The volunteer will then help the caller to reach any existing service from the rescue squad to the health department. If the emergency calls for food, clothing, or temporary shelter (after a residential fire, for instance) the FISH volunteers will go to work on that. Emergency babysitting for a stricken family, confidential counseling or special guidance—all may be needed, and FISH will try to help. The concept of FlbH originated in England 15 years ago when church members there decided to make practical use of Christ’s teaching: “Love thy\neighbor as thyself.” They took as their symbol the sign of the FISH as it was scratched in the sands by early Christians to identify each other. An American pastor, Robert Howell, a native of the Blue Ridge Mountains, brought the idea to America where there are now more than 3000 chapters of FISH. TTie program also exists in Europe and the Russians have heard of it on the Voice of America. There has been a book, a film, and a Reader’s Digest article made about FISH, and there is a FISH chapter in service in Culpeper and Middleburg and other areas in Virginia now. If you need help you need FISH: 987-8200.□ Craft program County youth aged 8-12 are invited to participate in an Arts, Crafts and Recreation Program at the Rappahannock Recreation Center on the 211 by-pass of the town of Washington.

Tax subdivided land differently? THE RAPPAHANNOCK Supervisors couldn’t do anything about the present tax structure at their Thursday, June 24, budget hearing, but they agreed to examine it closely—beginning at the July meeting of the Board, as suggested Supervisor Chairman Pete Luke. “I think we need a reconstruction of the tax base to take some of the pressure off the farmer,” agreed Supervisor Butch Eastham. Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis also agreed: ‘‘We must deal with subdivided land differently than farm land. He advised that it is “legally justifiable” to assess subdivided land selling at $1500 an acre or more at a higher rate than land in agricultural use. Zoning could be the determining factor in computing the assessed value, according to Davis. Anything zoned as a subdivision could be taxes as a subdivision, he thought. Davis’s and Eastham’s remarks followed farmer protests against the advertised budget for fiscal 1976-77 and a proposed tax rate of $4.40, which was cut following the public hearing on the budget to $4. “Agriculture is not the major industry in Rappahannock County, real estate is,” Luke told the farmers. “Land is selling in this county—it’s being driven up—to $1,500 and $2,000 an acre. Luke said that tour million dollars worth of land changed hands in Rappahannock last year, with five and a halt million dollars m land transactions the year before. LUKE REQUESTED authority from the Board to write to tne state office of taxation asking that they send a representative to the September Board meeting to explain the reassessment procedures. County Accountant Walter Cox told the Supervisors that the reassessment must be done by February 1, 1978, and estimated that it would take a year and a half to complete. He added that the new assessment would be done at full fair market value. Currently, land in Rappahannock is taxed at the appraised value, discounted 60 percent—“the highest discount of any place in Virginia that I know of,” commented Luke. Supervisor J. R. Latham suggested that the Board protest against the change in state regulations that require Rappahannock to have “another reassessment so soon.” Davis disagreed, maintaining that the reassessment could work to the advantage of Rappahannock in any attempt to tax subdivided land differently. The Supervisors plan to take up subdivision taxation and other alternative sources of revenue, such as contractor licensing, at their July meeting.—Daphne McCullough Marriage status can affect social security PEOPLE getting monthly supplemental security income payments should report promptly to social security if they get married or divorced, if they separate and intend to remain apart, or if they’ve been separated for six months or more. The amount of the supplemental security income payments people get can change if they marry, and the amount due a wife or husband can change depending on whether they’re living together or apart, according to Robert C. Cooper, Field Representative in Rappahannock County. “A temporary separation of less than six months generally won’t affect supplemental security income We Cm Supply All Your BUILDING NEEDS| CULPEPER BUILDING & SUPPLY CORP. Phone VA5-8383 Culpeper payments,” Cooper said. “But people should report to social security if they begin living together again after a separation.” Payment amounts also may be affected by annulment or by the death of a wife or husband. “PROMPT reports of changes help social security get the right supplemental security income payments to the light people on time,” Cooper said. “But failure to report changes may result in an overpayment that will have to be paid back.” “Changes can be reported by calling or writing any social security office. A written report should include the name of the person affected, the correct social security claim number under which payments are made, the change being reported, the date the change occurred, and the signature and address of die person making the report,” he said. People getting supplemental security income should also report changes in income, living arrangements, and other circumstances that might affect their payments, according to Cooper.

‘People of 76’ program in the park THE Page County Bicentennial Commission and Shenandoah National Park will bring colonial villagers, British Redcoats, skilled artisans, Continental Army regulars and revolutionary militiamen to the Page County Fairgrounds in Luray, on Friday, July 2 in the National Park Service’s traveling Bicentennial program “People of ’76.” Superintendent Robert R. Jacobsen says the program is designed to show a cross-section of colonial life, and is open free to the public with show times from 1-4 p.m. and again from 6-8 p.m. that day. Setting for “People of ’76” is the small colonial village of New Bristol, created through a grouping of nine scenic units, characteristic of small town life in the 1700’s. With a cast of 6\ young artists, chosen from various university theatre departments, “People of 76” will be at the fairgrounds as part of its 9,800 mile tour through 33 national park areas. The tour carries the program from its rehearsal site in Frederick, Maryland to Redwood National Park in Crescent City, California and back again to Washington, D.C. THE setting for “New Bristol” is designed to let visitors “wander through the village,” where they will be encouraged to strike up conversations with “the colonial citizens.” Villagers portray such roles as a foreign traveler, a preacher, and colonial craftspeople, such as a gunsmith, a spinner, a leather-worker, and a pewterer. Each role has been selected to reflect the social, economic, political and military facets of the time. People of ’76” has been designed as a program in which the audience is not seated, but rather planned in such a way as to draw the audience into the actions of the performers. Each actor and craftsman has undergone an intensive training period to respond to questions or situations as though he or she were actually living in the 18th century. Once in costume, the actors react only in the characters they portray as a means to enhance the authenticity of the program. Throughout the program, continuous activities, such as crafts making, will take place and be highlighted by special scripted vignettes. Such vignettes vary from a segment that shows the British army recruiting villagers to the gunsmith demonstrating his talents. Near the village is a small military encampment where modern-day visitors can glimpse Speeding is fatal Exceeding the stated or safe speed limit is the major cause of fatal highway crashes involving young drivers. “Last year in Virginia 225 drivers between the ages of 16 and 24 were involved in fatal crashes as a result of exceeding die stated or safe speed limit,” said John T. Hanna, director, Highway Safety Division of Virginia. “Speeding, often attributed to driving under the influence of alcohol, carelessness, inexperience, or immaturity is a problem that demands the concern of everyone. Because it is difficult for new or young drivers to estimate speed, checking the speedometer frequently is a good habit to develop. Young motorists need to realize the responsibility involved in driving and observe the speed limit.” The current maximum speea limit on interstate highways, limited and nonlimited access highways is 55 m.p.h. and 25 m.p.h. in school, business and residential zones. Reduced speeds are necessary when driving in the rain or facing the glare of the sun. Nighttime driving requires lower speeds to give drivers more time to identify hazards. “With more than three million licensed drivers in Virginia, motorists of all ages need to travel at safe speeds that are reasonable for existing conditions,” concluded Hanna.□ Polo match A polo match between Rappahannock and Cedar Run will be held at Fannon Field, Laurel Mills on Friday, July 2 at 8 p.m. A second match will follow at nine.

It’s an increase of nearly $10,000,000 over the sum for the current fiscal year, but is about a million dollars below the level contemplated in the state’s 197282 road and street improvement program because state road use tax revenues has fallen below estimates.

Visitors Sunday of Mrs. Henry Advice on Medicare supplement salesmen A NUMBER of people in the Culpeper area became concerned when they were visited last week by salesmen selling an insurance policy to supplement Medicare. According to Bruce Hundley, manager of the Culpeper social security office, there was some confusion about whether these were official representatives of the Social Security Administration. “There is no U. S. uovernment-approved supplement to Medicare,” Hundley said. “There are a number of good policies from private insurance companies that are especially designed for people who already have Medicare. The approval of these policies and licensing of agents is a function of the State of Virginia. “If you are approached by a salesman and you are not sure if he is what he says he is, you should call the State Corporation Commission, Bureau of insurance Agents License Department in Richmond at 804-786-2631.” IT IS a violation of Federal law for someone to falsely state he represents the Social Security Administration. ‘‘If a person comes to your home claiming to be from Social Security, ask for his identification,” Hundley advised. ‘‘If he does not have any, call your local social security office at 703-825-3500. Keep one thing in mind; your Social Security representative will never ask you for cash.” The social security office is located at 522 Culpeper Shopping Center, Culpeper, 22701.

Rappahannock sets its tax rate From Pago 1 ponsible for the remainder, the county now pays 100 percent and is reimbursed for the State’s share. Cox said also that the advertised budget didn’t reflect the Compensation Board’s cuts. “Revenue Sharing funds will drop this year from some $60,000 to $28,000, so we’re paying some of the county administration costs,” commented Luke. “There’s $18,000 in this year’s budget for another property reassessment,” he continued in his explanation of the budget increase. The original proposed budget, including all departmental requests, called for a tax rate of $4.70 , said Luke. The $90,000 cut from that brought the rate New rules EFFECTIVE July 1, Virginia employers* can no longer notify employes that they will be on “unpaid” vacation and so make them ineligible for unemployment compensation, according to Robert L. Masden, commissioner of the Virginia Employment Commission. Also effective July 1, is a change which raises the maximum weekly benefit amount for unemployment insurance to $103, Masden said. Previously, employes who had been notified by their employers that they would be on unpaid vacation were considered on bona fide vacation and were not eligible for unemployment insurance compensation. Now, employes on unpaid vacation will be treated like any other employes on temporary lay - off. PRIOR to this law’s taking effect, only 65 per cent of Virginia claimants were receiving half their average weekly wage, Masden said. Masden pointed out that no one may receive more than half his average weekly wage, and he estimated about 20 per cent of all claimants would receive this new maximum. The cost of increasing the benefit maximum from $87 to $103, is expected to be about $1.6 million for the first year it is in effect, Masden said. A third change in the law provides for a $30 penalty for employers who do not file their quarterly Contribution and Wage Reports on time.

Luke proposed that utility taxes and motor vehicle tag fees be raised to bring the rate down further to $4. THE Supervisors voted unanimously on a resolution to increase county motor vehicle license fees by $5, with motorcycle tag fees to be raised to the maximum allowed by the state. A resolution to increase utility taxes to 15 per cent on the first $10 of every metered bill, with a maximum of no more than a $1.50 increase, also passed unanimously.. The resolutions will be advertised for public hearing. Following the resolutions, the Supervisors voted unanimously to adopt the budget. “If this keeps happening every year, “interjected Supervisor H. B. Wood, “can we keep putting $5 on the Folk instrument course offered Lord Fairfax Community College will offer a non-credit Continuing Education course entitled “Introducation to Folk Music Instruments,” beginning Tuesday, June 29, and continuing each Tuesday evening from 7:30 to 8:30 through August 17. Students may choose to study the autoharp, banjo, guitar, mandolin, or ukelele. Students who are unable to furnish their own instrument for the course may rent an instrument of their choice from the instructor. The cost of the course is $30. In addition, students are expected to purchase the appropriate textbooks from the instructor. Steven Ritenour, the instructor, has had extensive professional and instructional experience. Registration is handled on a first-come, first-served basis. No one is officially registered until he has paid the course fee and submitted an official registration form to the College. No State general fund tax dollars are used to support the College’s community services program.

Vehicle tag increases will give the county $18,000, according to Cox. Davis expressed doubts about the Supervisors’ actions. “You’re predicating the budget on the resolutions regarding utility taxes and auto tags—by-passing the public hearing process. What is the tax rate required by the budget without those resolutions?” Luke answered that the rate was $4.40 on the present budget. IF THE present budget is accepted, responded Davis, how could the tax rate be set at $4 without deficit spending? “We have other sources of revenue,” said Luke. “The budget will be self-contained.” Cox added that with the anticipated revenue from the two resolutions, there would be more money coming in than going out. The Supervisors then voted unanimously to set the tax rate at $4. colorful White Sale t ‘Windriff bed and bath coordinates Fresh white with swirling budsof gold, or pink Super-smooth blend of 50% polyester, 50% cotton^ Fitted sheets have Spring-on elasticized corners for smooth fit.

Hunting, fishing license deadline Chester F. Phelphs, Executive Director of the Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries, has reminded all fishermen and hunters that July 1 marks the date when new licenses are required. In addition, Phelps specifically pointed out new size restrictions for trout caught in the Augusta, Floyd and Carroll counties. A ten-inch limit has been established in portions of the following waters: St. Mary’s River in Augusta County; in the Little River in Floyd County, on Snake Creek in Carroll County, Big Snake Fork and Little Snake Fork. Trout may be taken through the use of single, barbless hooks only with artificial lures in these waters. Sportsmen should consult the regulations spelled out in the Virginia Fishing Regulations, which will be available when the new license is purchased. Attention was also called to some drastic changes that have been made to the trout fishing regulations in Henry County. In that portion of the Smith River in Henry County from signs below the east bank of Towne Creek for a distance of three miles downstream, trout may be taken using only artificial lures with single, barbless hooks. The daily creel limit in this portion of the Smith River is one trout per day, and the trout must be twelve inches or more in length. Again, Phelps emphasized the need to consult the regulations pertaining to fishing, which are printed in the pamphlet which is available when the licenses are purchased.

Now you’ve gone to be with him, in the heavenly home of God. Sleep on loved one, take your rest, We love you dearly, but God loves you best.

' v Why are mental health services needed in our community? The above facts are just a few of the reasons mental health, mental retardation, and geriatric services are provided in our communities. Mental Health like physical health, is broad and varied. Problems can start before we are born, or can come in later years from the problems of being alone. Mental retardation, broken homes, speech and hearing defects, abuse of alcohol and drugs, these are all real problems in our community — the list is long. Good mental health is when you feel comfortable and secure about yourself and other people; and when you are going about your work, your family responsibilities, and the regular daily demands made on you in an orderly way without becoming so upset that you can't do a decent job. Mental health is something all of us want for ourselves, whether we know it by name or not. When we speak of happiness, or peace of mind, or enjoyment, or satisfaction, we are usually talking about mental health. No one of us has complete success in all these areas all the time, but we are mentally healthy when we have a grip on them most of the time. And we are wise to look for help, for ourselves or someone else, when those marks are missed very far or very often. We hope that reading these pages will offer you greater awareness of the available services, greater sensitivity to those who might need them, and perhaps some insight into the role you can play in furthering your community's mental health as a volunteer, or as an interested and informed citizen. \ This guide to better understanding of the services and facilities available in our five county region is made possible by the Virginia Department of Mental Health and Mental Retardation. a special grant from

Twenty-one million families are now affected by mental illness through someone in their immediate family - - thats more than one out of every four families; 1 out of 3 children living in families with income at or below the poverty level has serious emotional problems. -- t- ■ ' - > ^ - - ,<* - ' ■ 11 , , - * * ■ V *’ , * - , V. ■V *■ , - * „ - ."X v I' *■ MENTAL HEALTH CLINICS Mental health disturbances are rnuch more common than most of us realize. On a. nation-wide basis, it is estimated that 1 out of 5 of us will need professional help for emotional difficulties at some time in our lives. We are living in a stressful world where the normally complicated task of living has at times become nearly unbearable for all of us. Alcohol and drug abuse, family breakups, depression, general anxiety, child-rearing problems--none of these are unusual in our communities and iri our lives. Fortunately, most of us who need help need not disrupt our daily routines to get it since staff can help us through our problems in a number of scheduled appointments at our local clinic. However, if a person needs hospital treatment, staff at the clinics can help him enter the proper treatment program: Return from the hospital is also made easier for a person and his family by professional support in the clinic. This type of assistance may prevent further hospitalization. The staff of the Mental Health Clinic typically includes Psychiatrists, Psychologists, Social Workers, and Psychiatric Nurses, who, in addition to their special areas of responsibility, all work in the various types of psychotherapy. Volunteers offer a wide range of assistance. Clinics are in full-time operation-8:30 A.M. - 4:30 P.M. weekdays, and evening hours by appointment--in Warrenton . (Fauquier Family Guidance Clinic - 347-7620), Culpeper (Culpeper Clinic - 825-5656), and Orange (Orange Clinic - 672-2718). Part-time offices are staffed in Washington by the Culpeper Clinic - (825-5656) and in Madison by the Orange Clinic - (672-2718). These part-time offices are projected to be in full-time operation in 1977. The clinics serve any residents of theseTive counties and charges are always based on ability to pay so that no one is denied services. "While testing tells Psychologist Peter Szabad, Clinic Director at Orange Clinic, a lot about a youngster, often so does a quiet talk and a game of checkers." Office staff at Orange Clinic, Lucy Wright and Doris Moore, make special scheduling arrangements for a client. The Clinic typically works at three basic tasks with each client. First, through taking a personal history and by discussing the problem areas, a goal for treatment is determined. Second, the best treatment approach is selected by the staff member discussing his recommendations with the client and a treatment plan being agreed upon. The third task, carrying out this plan, often involves psychotherapy. Through a series of discussions with a therapist, a person may be helped to learn to better handle stress and problems and to more clearly understand himself. At all times, privacy is maintained by strict rules of confidentiality. EMERGENCY SERVICES "Dr. William Young, Medical Director, reviews a case with Marilyn Minrath, a graduate Psychiatric Nurse, at the Culpeper Clinic." No matter how aware we become of mental health problems and services, there always will be times of emotional crisis, which don't fit into an office schedule and which need immediate attention. When such a need arises, help is available by calling 825-5656, 347-7620 or 672-2718, and leave your telephone number with our 24-hour switchboard. (This 24-hour service will be available after July 14, 1976.) A Mental Health professional will call back immediately.

DRUG AWARENESS PROGRAM The Drug Awareness Program (DAP) is a service whose purpose is to help you come to grips with the drug problem which faces not only our community as a whole, but you and your family as well. Services include: (1) educational programs for families as well as civic groups, (2) consultation with other agencies to assist them in meeting their needs in dealing with Drug or Alcohol related problems, and (3) direct services to persons needing help with a drug or alcohol problem. Children do not necessarily learn about drugs at school or from playmates. They are very often unintentionally taught what to think about and how to use drugs by their parents before they even go to school--when they see their parents take or give medicine, use alcohol, etc. The DAP tries to help families take a fresh look at old practices in order to aid the family in dealing with drugs or alcohol use before there can be a drug problem. Our institutions and organizations whose purpose is to care for our health and well being are continually confronted with the problems of drug or alcohol abuse. The DAP will work with these organizations to help them to deal with their drug using clients and to get help for those whose drug problems are serious. For anyone who is in danger of losing his family and friends, his job, or his health due to a drug or alcohol problem - the DAP provides immediate care, together with the nearest Mental Health Clinic, in order to restore the person to his rightful place in his own community. For more information about our Family Drug Awareness Program, for consultation with service providers, or for help with a drug problem call James F. Recktenwald or Nancy G. Gordon of the DAP at 825-3300 or 825-3301 or your nearest Mental Health Clinic. Jim Recktenwald, Drug Awareness Coordinator. THE DAY TREATMENT PROGRAM While our mental health clinics are able to meet most of the mental health needs we find in our communities, there are times when more intensive treatment is needed. In the past these persons were often hospitalized. Many professionals are now aware that long periods in the hospital, besides being very expensive, can make it harder for the patient to adjust when he once again comes home to community and family life. In response, the Day Treatment Program was designed especially for those people whose difficulties put them in danger of being sent to a psychiatric hospital; or those who are being discharged from such a hospital. In an atmosphere offering intensive support and temporary protection from stress, each client at the program has his or her own schedule which has been set up to meet that client's special needs. Treatment varies from craft projects (which teach patience, manual skills and the ability to follow directions) through useful personal skills such as cooking, grooming and wardrobe maintainance, to social interactions with other individuals, family members, and community. Treatment also includes individual, family or group therapy or a combination of these. When an individual is not functioning well because of an emotional disturbance, the Day Treatment Program can help that person: (1) become more responsible for himself, (2) become more self-supporting through employment, and (3) function better as a member of his family and community. Staff psychologist Rick Goodiing conducts a group therapy session. Program Coordinator Lynda Latta demonstrates leatherworking, a therapy technique in the Day Treatment Program while psychiatric nurse Barbara Moore looks on. The Day Treatment Program is located in Orange, Virginia and operates as an / extension of the Orange ClinicrThe program is open to residents of all five counties of our Region, Program hours for clients are 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. weekdays with the staff on duty 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Evening and weekend appointments can be arranged if needed. Fees are on a sliding scale based on ability to pay. Transportation is available. An additional Day Treatment Program is planned for Warrenton for the near future.' Too often in the past emotionally disturbed people have been put into hospitals for long stays and have never again led a normal life. This resulted in a great loss of valuable individuals, in pain to their families, and in a serious drain on private and public funds. Programs like the Day Treatment Program can change this unfortunate pattern of care. For more information on this program' area contact Program Coordinator, Lynda M. Latta, R.N., M.N. at 703-672-5915.

A recent study indicates that the most common fear among older persons is the fear of dependence-dependence on others for transportation, for lodging, for food, for money, for companionship. The second most common fear is the fear of loneliness. As the years progress, friends and family pass away or move away and people have less mobility and fewer opportunities to make new friends. The programs offered by the Area Agency on Aging are designed to attack both of those areas of concern. They provide help to enable a person to continue doing things for himself as well as opportunities for being with each other. Nutrition Services is the largest of the existing programs for senior adults and features a noonday meal with educational and recreational programs, transportation to the meals and for shopping trips. Supervisors of the five nutrition sites include: Frieda Lutz, Culpeper (825-2708); Louise Utterback, Warrenton (439-3309); Gladys Cowherd, Gordonsville (832-3043); Linda Sadler, Orange (672-4324); and Lucile Knowlden, Unionville (854-4840). MENTAL HEALTH ASSOCIATIONS, which are independent of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Mental Health-Mental Retardation Services Board, play a key part in bringing to ail citizens an awareness of die importance of good mental health. The goals of these volunteer groups are to: improve public attitudes about mental illness; improve services for the mentally ill; help prevent mental illness; • promote good mental health. Mental health associations typically do not provide direct services, but rather focus on public education and assist in bringing direct services to a community. Many of the services now offered by the Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Mental Health-Mental Retardation Services Board as described in these pages were in some way an outgrowth of the efforts of Mental Health Associations. Local Mental Health Association Chapters are art mated with the Virginia Association for Mental Health, which in turn is part of the National Association.
