Fight Seen Over Welfare Control By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Vwn Staff 1 ritcr There's a war threatening within the state Welfare Department and personnel from Rappahannock aren't sure which side of the battle line they’re on. The conflict is between factions fighting to have administration of all social services programs handled by the state and those trying to keep administration under local control. “I can see where it would help us and I can see where it would hurt us," said family and child services worker Ellen Mustoe in reference to a change to state administration. “I don't know which I’d like to see." In reporting to the Rappahannock Welfare Board at last Wednesday's meeting, Social Services uirector Mrs. fclizabeth Buntin said the switch to state payment of administrative costs was currently scheduled to become effective in 1980. A bill passed during the last session of the General Assembly calls for the state to assume responsibility for local administrative costs, according to Mrs. Buntin. “I’ve heard it said, in effect, that the state will assume administration," she informed her Board. "If the state pays all the costs,” she continued, “the state will have all the control over welfare programs. “In my own thinking. I’ve been very wishy-washy” on whether the change would be beneficial or detrimental, she said. Mrs. Buntin noted^hat welfare programs nave become so complex that only an expert can keep up with it all. As director of the Rappahannock Department, she’s responsible for supervising food stamps, elegibility, Title 20 and services and is supposed to be an expert in all these areas as well as having charge of overall administration. Specialization Necessary "The problems here are so immense now and they require such specialization (that the Rappahannock Welfare office) needs to be bigger simply because of the programs that have come down from the federal level." she said. "One person cannot possibly supervise it all." if the state took over administration tor localities, the state would have direct responsibility and would provide experts in the \arious fields to oversee the different welfare programs, according to Mrs. Buntin. The switch (Continued on Page 3) What’s Open And Closed Labor Day All division of Motor Vehicle Offices and driver's testing stations will he closed Monday, September 4.

Handicapped Children Complete Camp The RappahannockRapidan Community Services Board Mental Retardation Services has completed eight weeks of summer camps for handicapped children in the area. A two-week camp in each county was held for the residents of Fauquier. Orange, Madison. and Culpeper with children from Rappahannock County included with the Culpeper Campers. The camp promotes socialization awareness for mentally retarded children through the use of recreational activities and group projects. One group of campers worked together to build a raft to float on the Rapidan River. Activities included at the day camp were swimming, softball, volleyball, frisbee toss, horseshoes, arts and ttafts, nature studies, and dancing. A morning of singa-long and guitar playing was Check Earnings Estimate People getting social security checks who are under 72 all or part of 1978 and who have been working should take some time to check their records so that they do not receive any incorrect social security checks. Bruce A. Hundley, social security manager in Culpeper, said recently. People 65 or over in 1978 can earn S4.000 and still receive all checks for the year, while people under 65 can earn S3.240 and receive all payments, Hundley said. These figures are called the annual exempt amount. A person whose earnings exceed the annual exempt amount has $1 in benefits withheld for each S2 of earnings above the exempt amount. This withholding is made even though there may be some months in which the person does little or no work. The only exception, Hundley said, is for the first year in which a person receives a monthly check. In that first year, benefits can be paid for months in which the person does little or no work regardless of the total yearly earnings. After the first year, withholding is based only on total annual earnings. A person who estimated that he or she would earn less than the annual exempt amount in 1978 should make sure that their earnings are following the pattern they expected. If earnings are running higher than expected. the person should consider having their checks stopped temporarily to avoid possible overpayments. On the other hand, a person who had his or her benefits stopped because of expected high earnings who now finds that he or she is earning substantially less than expected, could have benefits started. People in either situation can have their questions answered at the Culpeper social security office located at 522 Culpeper Shopping Center. The telephone number is 825-3500.

State Or Local Administration ? (Continued from Page i) would probably work to the locality's advantage with regard to financial assistance, she maintained. However, she added, state administration would work to the detriment of services by separating the decision ma'ccr* and the providers from the people in need of services. Impetus would be towards smaller counties, like Rappahannock and Madison, becoming satellites of a larger, regional operation. "Services need to be close 10 the people...necd to be receptive.” Mrs. Buntin insisted. She also maintained that, for welfare programs to be effective, “there’s got to be local participation in planning." Mrs. Buntin recalled that Board member Aline Johnson had stated previously that she wouldn’t want to serve on the Welfare Board if it ceased to be an administrative board and became an advisory board instead. It would be a whole different situation," remarked Mrs. Johnson. Board chairman Dick Latham noted that state supervisory personnel wouldn't have to take advice from an advisory board should they choose not to. After consideration. Mrs. Johnson said she still felt the same way about not wanting to serve on an advisory board. However, she added i hat maybe her feelings would change if she could see state administration in "another light." “It's a huge issue. It will be bitterly fought," said Mrs. Buntin. noting that the statewide organization of welfare superintendents was adamantly opposed to losing local administration. Ellen Mustoe questioned whether the switch to state administration would mean more forms and reports for local welfare workers to fill out. "I'm already fed up with this." she said, adding that she’d been able to provide more direct services five years ago than she was able to do now. Acknowledging that the increased paper burden was due. in part, to the move towards computerization, Mrs. Buntin noted that social workers would have more time to provide direct services if Welfare Departments could hire clerks to fill out the forms that are fed into computers. Returning to the issue of state administration, Latham maintained that a change would allow more abuse of the welfare system. "There would be more," agreed Mrs. Buntin, “because no one would know what was going on.” With administration under local jurisdiction, Welfare Departments have more contact with clients and a greater opportunity to prevent abuse of programs, according to Mrs. Buntin. “Localities should demand more involvement in setting policy,” eligibility technician Juanita Miko proposed. She maintained there are new programs coming out all the time that localities don’t know anything about. “Mostly federal,” interjected Mrs. Buntin. Mrs. Johnson contended that the state Welfare Department was preoccupied with urban areas. “You can’t take the rules and regulations meant for a larger place and expect a little county to survive with them,” she said. Slipped By? Mrs. Buntin remarked that she didn't understand how the bill authorizing the state to assume local administrative welfare costs got by the General Assembly without more public comment. "Is this one of the economy moves they’re claiming?" asked Latham. “Yes,” answered Mrs. Buntin, adding that state administration would provide fiscal relief to localities but would mean a raise in state costs. She reported earlier that there had been much talk in the last General Assembly session about local fiscal relief and that this concern had resulted in the reimbursement in June of local administrative costs accrued in the Aid to Dependent Children program. She noted that the check had gone directly to the county treasurer for deposit in the general fund instead of to the Welfare Department. In other action, the Board approved an office subscription to the Richmond Times Dispatch so the staff will be able to keep abreast of state news that concerns social services. Also, Mrs. Buntin agreed to investigate getting a dehumidifier for the basement Food Stamp offices. The staff joined together in urging Mrs. Johnson to accept reappointment to the Welfare Board after her current term expires on “I’ll think about it," Mrs. Johnson responded. “Let me let you know."

Libby Snead Reports Rights Of Women Few In Malaysia (Continued from Page 1) is living in a home with a couple who have 13 children, two cows and some chickens. "The language barrier is incredible", exclaimed Lib. “I have to discipline myself not to lose my zeal and enthusiasm and to work on the language which is not coming to me very easy." Of the country she says the beaches are beautiful and there are mountains. The most common mode of transportation is bicycles; there are motorcycles and some other motorized conveyances. Sugar cane is growing everywhere and most of the foods are cooked with lots of sugar and is very spicy. March to November is the preferred time to visit before the rainy season begins. "The first thing 1 learned was to bargain. If you don't, you’ll really get taken. Never pay the first price asked. I soon learned, after getting ripped off by a taxi driver,” said Libby. Entertainment is expensive. There are not many tennis courts and they rent at about 510 of our money for an hour. On the other hand, swimming pool admission is 50 cents for 2 hours. The natives are most agile and coordinated. They play a game somewhat like volley ball using only their head and feet and do handstands in the process. Libby and a co-worker rode their rickety bikes into the country for a day and encountered a family planting rice. The girls took off their shoes and helped. They had a marvelous time and the family seemed grateful for the aid. When it is 6 p.m. here in America it is 6 a.m. the next day there.

The dropout rate in the school system is about 60 per cent and in the classrooms each teacher has approximately 50 students. In the farming areas the youth are motivated to remain there and not migrate to the cities. “The Maylasian people are very modest and well covered in their dress,” said Libby. “They wear long sleeves and scarves and even wear a sarong when bathing. It was most difficult for me to take a bath with my clothes on. she said. I had taken my onepiece bathing suit with me, and even in that causes the people to stare, though they do that anyhow since a blonde American is an uncommon sight there.

I wonder what kind of examples we are to them.” The natives are having a religious fast and you do not eat all day. Food is eaten at 3 or 4 a.m. and nothing else can be consumed until 7 that night. You are not supposed to even swallow your saliva and they go around spitting all day. The food consists of rice, fish and long beans. It is literally a crime to sell food on the street during the fast, which begins with the sighting of the new moon. Want To Renew Yourself? Searching for your role in life?

The local Virginia Tech Extension office has the most recent recommendations on what kinds of herbicides to use. “Among other things I must get used to are the mosquitos, ants. Lizzards, and roaches. They are ever present," Libby said. “And the open sewage systems, where the effluent is carried out in open ditches. Also there is not much privacy in the homes.” “We had an interesting experience learning the process by which rubber is made and we visited a Hundu temple and talked with a guru. Hope to visit a Muslim court, too.” said Libby. "Have enjoyed the fruit here which is abundant and they have a variety of small bananas which are very sweet and delicious; better than the ones we get at home.” "My greatest problem so far except for the language, is the laundry which we do by hand and mine never come clean. We spread our clothes on the floor and scrub them with a brush. Keeping clean is quite a process and we take two baths a day. During the fast when we are not supposed to eat or drink, the bath water was even tempting." she said. Libby ends with this thought, "How fortunate we are to live in America. It is just great to be an American with all the freedom we have.” Tax Referenda Unauthorized By State Law Attorney General Marshall Coleman says that under state law voters cannot force a municipal government to call a referendum on legislation limiting real estate taxes. In an opinion to Delegate Vance Wilkins Jr. of Amherst, Coleman said that voters cannot initiate a referendum on the question of amending a city or town charter to limit real estate taxes without the approval of the governing body. The question was asked whether voters in Lynchburg could initiate such a referendum in a grass roots tax reform movement with implications similar to California's Proposition 13. According to the Attorney General, the only time voters can force a city council to call a referendum is when the BULLOCK’S Outlay Cl—nun Complete Dry Cleaning and Laundry Service Rugs & Drapes 19 E. Jackson Front Royal, Va. 635-3055 petitioners are seeking a change in the form of government itself. The sole remedy, Coleman told Wilkins, is to elect a governing body which would favor such an amendment limiting real estate taxes. c*<eal Estate (&t/<t0n dl. REALTOR PRINTED FORM FOLLY In any real estate transaction you’ll normally find printed forms used in the area of sales contracts, deeds, mortgages, and leases. Ever wonder why any layman can’t use printed forms himself and save the fees of an attorney, Realtor, or lending institution? A typical legal stationery store will have dozens of varieties of leases, deeds, and mortgage forms, but which is the right one for your situation.. These printed forms are only a starting point. It’s what goes into the blanks, what is crossed out, and what is added that gives you the value, security. and protection that you are paying the experts for. Believe me, some of the largest financial losses and legal hassles have resulted from printed forms being incorrectly used. About the only safe one an amateur can depend on is a marriage license.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 31,1978 Tests Of Basic Skills Perhaps the most powerful current movement in American public education comes to Rappahannock County this fall: tests in basic skills. Since 1974, 34 states have set up minimal academic standards required for graduation in the form of competency tests. To qualify for a high school diploma in Virginia after Jan. 1, 1981, students must not only complete required courses but also must pass tests of minimum competency in mathematics Tenth graders now at Rappahannock High School will be the first graduating class affected by the 1978 General Assembly’s revision of the standards of quality for public education, a revision which includes the required tests approved by the State Board of Education in Richmond. Seniors in the Class of 1981 must pass these math and reading tests to be eligible for graduation. Tests for basic skills in reading, communications and mathematics will be given ninth and 10th graders and also first, seoo-id and third graders this Those who perform poorly on the standardized tests will be given remedial work by classroom teachers. Tests for high school seniors, saythe State Board of Education, are not necessarily indicators of future academic success but may be indicators of the ability of students to cope with everyday “life skills,” such as balancing checkbooks and following directions listed on a product label. Opinions for and against tests of basic skills vary widely. In general, says Editorial Research Reports, the pressure for the tests has come from outside the education establishment. The pressure has been supported by one national research organization which estimates that 13 per cent of 17year-old high school students are “functionally illiterate”—that is, “they are not able to perform tasks necessary to function in American society, such as reading instructions,” not even those on drivers’ license tests. The tests are seen as a “guarantee” that high school graduates will have acquired minimum reading, writing and mathematics skills. Those who have opposed the tests are teachers and officials of teachers’ unions who resent any implication that schools have failed to educate. They also charge that the tests will measure only a fraction of what students learn in school. The Rappahannock News publishes here sample questions from high school graduation proficiency tests given in other states. Samples From High School Graduation Proficiency Tests Mathematics 1.

Division of Motor Vehicles instituted a decal system for 7 license plate renewals, DMV ' Commissioner Vern L. Hill * said today. This represents v about 60 percent of the cost * to build the new $13 million DMV Headquarters v Building. Hill estimated that over $7 ^ million in platemaking costs and over $1.8 million in postage costs have been saved since the new system became effective in October, 1972. Before the decal system began, new plates were issued for every vehicle each year. Now, new plates are issued only upon request, after old ones have been used five years. There is no extra charge for replacing the old plates. OMV statistics show that about 80 percent of five-yearold plate owners keep their old plates and renew them with decals. Owners are notified of the opportunity to replace damaged, worn or faded plates in the form of a birthday card sent by DMV They are informed that bj keeping the old plates they will be saving tax dollars conserving aluminum and energy, and they will not havt to memorize a new license number. Those who request new plates may turn the old ones in for recycling at any branch office. This service is offered for ecology reasons and does not produce much revenue. In the last fiscal year, recycled plates produced S6.856, according the DMV records. Our Rappahannock Heritage —Rappahannock New* Photo*/S. Latham Blue Ridge History Recorded One of the most interesting and least known subcultures in American ethnic studies is the Appalachian mountaineer. The least known of this group is the Blue Ridge subculture. Why? Because the mountain man who lived there was forced out when Shenandoah National Park was formed in the 1930's. Carolyn and Jack Reeder, (property owners in Rappahannock County) have made a study of that period in history and as a result have produced a tight but fascinating book about the people who used to live there, their 19th century way of life, and what became of them when Shenandoah National Park was formed. The book, called Shenandoah Heritage: The Story of the People Before the Park, is full of pictures of the period, statistics culled from National Archives, Park and personal records, and interesting commentary from the people living today who used to live in the Park’s worn mountains. More than a sociological study, the book is an excursion into a way of life that exists today only in a few hollows of the Appalachians. Jack and Carolyn’s interest in the project was an outgrowth of their association with the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club as they travelled from hiking to history. “First of all", said Carolyn. “the common misconception of these people »a| that of a race of dirty, low-IQ. coarse and unmannerly hillbillies. Nothing could be further from the truth. As we got to know various mountain people we realized that they were a special breed of people—people who could exist in a hostile environment with success and dignity. “Then, as we tried to read and learn about these people, we realized that everything we found was outdated, often untrue, and misleading—and rather unsympathetic to the mountain culture." "Not only that." said Jack, “but we discovered that in our “bushwhacking” (hiking cross-country without benefit of a trail) we’d come across old roads and trails. It became a fascinating question: Who built these? Where did they go? "We began to follow these to see where they went—and often would come upon walls and chimneys. Then it became an obsession to find out who used to live there. And so we started asking in the various nearby communities if anyone knew anything about the area. And on it went until finally, a story began to emerge, a story about a whole culture, whole communities, a whole way of life that has virtually passed from the scene." • The Reeders claim that their book is only a start in uncovering the Blue Ridge subculture, that there is more history, folklore, and culture to be "recovered", as he calls it. They devote about six months of the year to hiking to sites, interviewing oldtimers. and checking out old maps and trails. (Climate prevents further fieldchecking.) Jack took time off from work to peruse records in National Archives—and that was often as interesting as talking to oldtimers, he says. Carolyn devotes much of her summers (free since she is a schoolteacher) to writing the data and organizing it. “And all this," claims Jack, “resulted from my accidentally stumbling across an old chimney about 15 years ago. It had some interesting writing on it. 1 thought about that chimney for ten years. Finally, I had to go back to see it again. I walked right to it, took a picture, wrote down the name. Several years passed, and as this project grew, I decided to see if I could find the man who carved his name on that chimney. First telephone call I made I had my man. It was something like a miracle." Miracle or not, the Reeders are continuously collecting information from anyone they can, taking pictures of old cabin sites, mapping old roads, and cemeteries, and State Police Recruiting The Virginia Department of Stale Police has an nounced plans to intensify its recruitment efforts, specifically emphasizing that the department is an equal opportunity employer. Col. D. M. Slane said that the efforts would be designed to reach all potential ap plicants interested in Slate Police careers. He also noted that all qualified applicants were assured of "absolutely impartial treatment." Basic qualifications to become a State Trooper include good physical condition, good character and reputation, a high school diploma or its equivalent, and a willingness to serve anywhere in Virginia. Successful applicants must also be at least 2! years of age but not over 29. He added that additional benefits include the furnishing of all uniforms and equipment, a good retirement plan, low-cost life insurance and hospitalization, paid vacation and sick leave and compensatory leave for holiday work. recording Blue Ridge history and memorabilia.

Peaches Ripening Late Peach lovers who overrun Rappahannock orchards in the closing weeks of summer are in luck. According to the Virginia Department of Agriculture, the state's peach crop has been approximately two weeks late in ripening this year. That means there are still plenty of peaches at local orchards. In fact, peaches will be plentiful in the next two weeks and some late varieties will be available through the first week of September. Madison, Elberta and Redskin varieties are being picked now. +++ The foundations of the world will be shaky until the moral props are restored. —Anne O. McCormick Property Tax Hearing Set A public hearing on the Real Property Tax will be held by the Revenue Resources and Economic Commission on Wednesday, September 6, in Harrisonburg in the South Ballroom, Warren Campus Center, at James Madison University. The hearing is scheduled at 7 p.m., according to staff director J. T. Lindley, in order to allow access to the maximum number of persons. especially working home owners. The Commission is particularly interested in comments on: —The merits and means of financing for existing and potential property tax relief measures such as exemptions for elderly, handicapped and low-income persons, preferential assessment for agricultural land and residential home owners and incentives for rehabilitation of existing structures; —Streamlining the present assessment, taxation or tax relief practices, particularly administrative procedures; —why property tax inevitably emerges as the most hated tax in surveys although other taxes, such as sales and income taxes, may pose a larger burden; —limits on property tax levels similar to California’s Proposition 13. In order to stimulate interest and encourage a large turnout for the public hearing, the Commission has released the following Real Property Tax data, based on 1976 statistics without LandUse Assessment: Relief Land for Use Elderly A.HMrt Cities: Charlottesville x Harrisonburg x Staunton x W aynesboro x Winchester x Counties: Albemarle x x Augusta x x Bath x Frederick x x Greene Highland x Madison x Page x Rappahannock Rockingham x x Shenandoah x W arren x x *1975 figure, 1976 figure not yet Effect ive Trur Ta* Rate 1.23 .65 .71 .90 .99 .63 .44 .54 .45 .41 .34 .40 .44 .26 .41 .33 .38 available.

The Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection will devote the first part of its annual meeting to a talk on planning by Rosser H. Payne. The meeting is set for September 8th at 7:30 PM at the courthouse at Washington. Mr. Payne, a veteran planner, regards himself as something of a progmatist, “a middle of the road planner,” one who stands between the “no growth" advocate and the “all out" developer. Since Rappahannock county now faces the necessity of developing a comprehensive plan under State mandate, many of the citizens who are apprehensive about the prospect, may find Mr. Payne's presentation of special interest. A graduate of Virginia Polytechnical Institute with an Engineering degree, Payne became Director of Planning for Fairfax County in 1950 where he remained until 1966. During his tenure there, he augmented his planning knowledge by taking courses at the University of Chicago. He is a past President of the Virginia Chapter of the American Association of Planners. Since his retirement from Fairfax, Mr. Payne has developed a consultant’s practice in his native Fauquier County and has served many localities as well as teaching on a visiting basis at the University of Virginia. Mr. Payne asserts that he has assisted many private developers in their planning and designing efforts and that he has frequently been called upon as an expert witness. In the interest of a tight schedule, he will appear at the RLEP meeting promptly at 7:30 PM and those who wish to hear his presentation should plan to arrive on time. The remainder of the meeting will be devoted to a discussion of planning views with local participation and to the ' Annual Meeting reports as well as the election of officers for the coming term.

Then craftsmen hand painted landscapes, birds and flowers on delicate rice papers in small 12” x 18" rectangular pieces. From the Orient, wallpaper moved to the castles of Europe via Persia and took on new patterns and texlures. Marbleized designs, papers lusterized with metal, and handprints from wood blocks began to appear as wall coverings. Paper panels took the place of murals and tapestries and an edict by Louis XVI in the late 1700's fixed the standard roll of wallpaper at 34 feet where it stands today. In the mid 1800’s, the technique of printing paper by machine was invented, and with some notable exceptions, the era of elaborate hand painted wallpaper came to an end.

Stand back from the nest far enough that the shot doesn't blow the limbs off the tree, but close enough so the shot still holds a tight pattern. Fire two or three shots in rapid succession and the nest will be practically obliterated. Of course, this method is not recommended for the eaves MOUNTAIN LUMBER COMPANY Dealers in Rare and Special Woods P.O.

Vo. of the house or inside outbuildings. One of my neighbors tells me that a sure fire way to get rid of yellow jackets is to fill your power lawn mower up with gas. Start the engine and push the lawn mower over the yellow jacket hole. Leave the lawn mower running over the hole until it runs out of gas. Then come back that night and pour boiling water down the hole to finish off the few survivors.

Postal Strike Could Cause Problems Virginia motorists might have problems with their decal or driver’s license renewals if the threatened postal strike occurs, DMV Commissioner Vern L. Hill warns. “We mailed license plate and driver’s license renewal notices for September in July—a month early,” Hill said. “So those people should have no problem as long as they did not put the notice away and forget it.” However, motorists whose decals or licenses expire in October may not be so fortunate if the strike occurs. Responsibility for renewing rests with the motorists, whether he received a reminder notice or not. Hill’s advice is to check your plates and driver’s license expiration dates now. If they expire in September or October, make plans to renew them early at the nearest DMV office. That way. you will not get caught with invalid plates or an expired license, and you won’t have to wait in long lines at the last minute.

Raising Poodles Is Satisfying Hobby The breeding of registered purebred dogs in Rappahannock is an interesting and possible lucrative hobby as a number of people have discovered. Marilyn Baily of Washington is among this number, though she says she hasn't been in the business long enough to realize the capacity of the venture. Marilyn raises toy poodles and in a recent litter she delivered were four pups, the smallest weighing only three ounces. This is most uncommon for this breed which generally has no more than two in a litter. In contrast to the general idea that poodles are delicate creatures, lap dogs with bows in their hair, is the realization that at one time they were working dogs, hunter's and retrievers, according to research recently published. The poodle is akin to the water spaniels found in European countries including Russia. Germany. Spain and France. The poodle was one of the first hunting dogs and reference has been made to them as early as the 1500’s. One authority places their existence as early as AD 30. The traditional line clipping was inspired by French clowns who used poodles in the circus. The clipping allowed more ease in movement in the acts. Poodles were also used in Europe to ferret out truffles. The dogs were preferred to pigs which were also used, but pigs often ate the truffle before they could be gathered. Married Mr. and Mrs. Henry Clifton Sutherland of Sperryville announce the marriage of their daughter, Ann Tinsley, to Leonard E. Hatfield of Alexandria on Sunday, August 27, 1978. The wedding took place at the home of the bride's parents.

CB’s Honored Dalton has officially recognized October 4, 1978 as Citizens Band Recognition Day. The Certificate of Recognition signed by Governor Dalton notes that “Properly used, the Citizens Band Radio can be an assist to highway safety, providing faster notification of highway accidents, reducing response time and reporting unsafe drivers or driving conditions." The Department of State Police, utilizing CB radios provided through a grant from the Department of Transportation Safety, conducted a pilot program in selected police vehicles for several months in 1977. According to colonel Mane, the program indicated the CB radios were compatible with other police communication equipment and were particularly helpful relative to motorists who needed assistance. Colonel Slane said that as a result of the successful pilot program, the Department had begun installing CB radios in State Police vehicles as funds became available. In the interim, troopers are permitted to utilize their personal CB radios if desired. Governor Dalton in his Certificate of Recognition noted that citizens band organizations, and the International Association of Chiefs of Police. Inc. had also set aside October 4 as 10-4CB Recognition Day. 1979 Wheat Set-Aside A 20 percent set-aside program for the 1979 wheat crop, identical to this year’s highly successful program, has just been announced. By complying with the announced set-aside, wheat farmers will be eligible for a wheat loan of S2.3S a bushel, and a target price of $3.40 per bushel, also the same as the 1978 program. The 20 percent set-aside means that for every 100 acres of wheat planted for harvest as grain, 20 acres must be set-aside. The 1979 program will permit wheat farmers to graze their planted wheat for six months of the year, however, a graze-out and haying program has not been included in the program. The national program acreage of 57.1 acres is the number of acres of wheat needed to be planted in order to produce enough for expected domestic and export needs and carryover. V A voluntary reduction of 15 percent for 1979 wheat was also announced. Program participants who reduce their 1979 planted acreage by at least 15 percent from their 1978 acreage will be eligible for target-price coverage on 100 percent of their 1979 planted wheat acreage. The program will give credit to farmers who reduced their acreage in 1978 so that their base for 1979 reduction will be the same as it was in 1978.
