WASHINGTON (UPI) - The
peaceful hunt country village of
Atoka, Va., is about to become
an international dateline, thanks
to President and Mrs. Kennedy.
On nearby Rattlesnake Ridge,
the first family has opened the
newest presidential hideaway
a seven-bedroom stucco, ranch
style house. It is 50 miles from
the hubbub of Washington but
only a hoot and holler from
Atoka.
Although the house was com
pleted last spring, the Kennedys
did not occupy it until Oct. 26.
In the meantime they rented it
first to Washington invest
ment broker, A. Dana Hodgdon
and his wife, then to Mr. and
Mrs. Ogden Armour, wealthy
Califormans whose daughter at
tends the fashionable Foxcroft
school for girls near Middle-
burg, Va.
The house was built primarl
ly as a week end retreat.
Atoka's horsey set calls it
"Jackie's House" because Mrs.
Kennedy drew up the prelimi
nary plans and did all the in
terior decorating herself. She
also helped select the site,
which provides a breath-taking
view of Virginia's Blue Ridge
Mountains.
Cost Figures Differ
The White House originally
pegged the cost at $45,000 but
the best guess in hunt circles is
$100,000. They justify this by
pointing to its five bathrooms
Amount of Wages
Depends on How
Much Education
How much Is an education
worth, financially, to the aver
age young man in Medford? ...
Does It pay, in the long run,
to get more schooling, or is it
better to drop out and start
working a few years earlier?
Answers to these questions
are contained in studies and re
ports made by the Department
of Labor and by other agencies,
federal and private. They show
that each added year in school
results in more income for the!
average person throughout his
working career.
Also, they find, the chances
of getting a job and of holding
il are much brighter for the
high school graduate than for
the drop-out.
Of Particular Interest
The subject is of particular
interest at this time because of
American Education Week, Nov.
10 to 16.
In Medford, based on the
amount of schooling the aver
age young man is now receiv
ing and based upon present in
come levels locally, he can ex
pect to earn approxi m a t e 1 y
$262,000 during his working
years, the figures show.
This is considerably better
than his prospects would have
been 15 or 20 years ago, thanks
to the rising educational level
locally and the higher wage
scales.
Compares Favorably
The amount compares favor
ably, also, with lifetime earn
ings in the rest of the United
States, $248,000. and with t h e
$261,000 in the Pacific States.
At one time, reports the De
partment of Labor, older work
ers with little education earned
more money than younger ones
wnn more education.
But now, it finds, the four
years needed to get a high
school diploma add as much to
income as do 20 years of ex
perience without a high school
education.
The Commerce Clearing
House estimates that failure to
complete high school costs the
average man $46,360 during his
working career.
Average Wages
The high school graduate In
the United States, it reports,
averages $5,567 a year as
against $4,618 tor the drop
out. Among residents of Medford.
the educational level was shown
by the last census to be rela
tively high and lo be moving
higher.
The average person locally
has been getting 12.1 years of
schooling, which is considerably
more than was acquired 20
years ago.
It compares with 10.6 vears
in the United States and 12.0
years in the Pacific Slates.
and other appurtenances, such
as a private road, stables and a
picturesque pond that will be
stocked with fish.
Architect Keith Williams of
Winchester, Va., and Paul Fout,
t h e Kennedy's Middleburg
friend and agent, evade any
questions about the price tag.
The living room is the largest
of all the rooms. There also is
a library where the President
can find seclusion to work on of
ficial papers. Next to the libra
ry is a dining room and a kitch
enette breakfast nook.
Dominating the house are two
back-to - back fireplaces facing
the dining room and the library.
Mementos Dot House
Here and there are exotic
mementos of Mrs. Kennedy's
world travels, including chairs
from India, carved elephants
from Pakisan, and elaborate
Persian prints.
The house stands on a 39-acre
tract, steeped in Civil War his
tory, that once was part of the
vast Virginia estate of Herbert
Phipps, millionaire newspaper
publisher and cattle rancher.
The Kennedy land straddles
two of the first lady's favorite
hunts, the Piedmont and the
Orange county, with which the
accomplished horsewoman and
fox hunting devotee has ridden
before.
Mrs. Kennedy is not expected
to be riding for some time, how
ever, until she recuperates com
plctlcy from the premature
birth last August oi a son who
died two days later.
The new hideaway is sur
rounded by ample fields for
easy landings by helicopter
the Kennedy's favorite means of
travel for short trips. It is se
cluded from well - traveled
roads and has been wir'.-d for
instant communication with the
White House.
The first family is expected
to attend Sunday Mass at the
new St. Stephen's Roman Catho
lic Church at Middleburg, not
far away.
Other Retreats
Besides the Kennedy family
vacation quarters at Hyannis
Port, Mass., the President has
taken his family to two other
country retreats in the past.
One was Glen Ora, the 400
acre estate near Middleburg
that he rented during the first
two years of his presidency.
When the Glen Ora lease ex
pired, the first family began
traveling on weekends to Camp
David, the Navy - operated
camp in Maryland's Catoctin
mountains that former Presi
dents Dwight Eisenhower and
Franklin D. Roosevelt fre
quently enjoyed.
Mr. Kennedy grew especially
fond of Camp David because of
its strict privacy, its swimming
pool and other recreational fa
cilities, and because it is a quick
helicopter hop from the White
House.
As the family settles down
in their new home-away-from-home,
Mrs. Kennedy has let it
be known she wants one thing
understood from the start.
She prefers that their new
hunt country rambler be known
as "Atoka" and not as some
already are calling it "Rat
tlesnake." The area Is sprinkled with
"positively no trespassing" and
"keep out" signs. The country
road into the estate, link;ng with
federal state Highway No. 50,
has a green wooden gate end a
U.S. Secret Service sentry box.
