Washington, Virginia, 22747 Subject: Stifle the Growth of a Middle Class As a teacher of government charged with the responsibility for encouraging part cipation in local government, it becomes necessary to speak to the recent rulings directly aimed at stifling the growth of a significant middle class. By definition, zoning is an interference with the right of ownership. When an owner of a property may use such property, consume it, give it away, exchange it - all as he wishes -- that is ownership. Zoning and owning are different systems of determining land use. Either the land will be privately owned and its use determined by the owner to his greatest satisfaction,, from the choices available to him in the market place, or the land will be used as directed by government. It is easy to understand how some restrictions as to proper sanitation, electrical hook-up, distance from road, and other safety factors might be required by government for the good of all. It is easy to understand how an established business might be affecting of an unappropriate business nearby (hog pen next to an established restaurant). It is not easy to understand how a man might be prevented from purchasing a mobile home (which meets other state requirements) and properly setting such a home on a lot which he has worked many hours to obtain. This principle is extremely difficult to understand when many of those who demand a mobile home ordinance are operating tenant farm houses with far less sanitation facilities. The question to be raised is: Is there a design on the part of a few to keep from Rappahannqck a significant growth in the middle class? With the middle class comes the concern and action that might destroy the pseudo-aristrocracy of ten percent who own ninety percent of the land. With the middle class comes the growing PTA, shopping centers, industrial complex (jobs), o-c*sl.. tss...trx.. mmm Merry Christmas to all our friends! CULPEPER PLANING MILL J.

HUGH RYAN JR HOMf f )f C ORA TINT, r [ NT FR WITH you IN MIND and investment in the youth that we all need to make. How does one make the jump froma lower-socio-economic status to the middle class? The answer in most places is hard work. The answer to a Rappahannock family is move. As a result, some of the best talent which will graduate from our local high school and go on to better things will not contribute their talents to our local area. Rappahannock has a substantial middle class and upper middle class now. This part of our local society needs to make its views known. Edward M. Bassett spoke to the issue in his book Zoning when he said, “Zoning brings about favoritism toward some owners at ^ -m; ^ -^r. z-r. ^ SAPPY HOLIDAYS sWWAMMm I May they glow with lots of good cheer and good times!

Rappahannock Home Mutual Fire Insurance Company WASHINGTON VIRGINIA The next best thing to water for safety the expense of others.” Favoritism in local government is the worst of all. One cannot speak to the issues of the day without taking a stand with regards to assessment. What makes two houses of comparable fixtures and comparable market \ value so different in tax ! assessment value? What this? Do you say that they are not assessed the same? Then why not open the public records to prove the point? Why all the fuss? It becomes very difficult to stay behind the desk teaching the principles of government and the rewards of democracy- when both are thwarted. Its a challenge to the old and a stake for the young that we go about the efforts to making this a better world to live in. Accept this challenge and get involved in local affairs. The Lord helps those who help themselves. Sincerely, Richard L. Neff Rappahannock County High Speaking for myself Washington Baptist Church Notices There will be services Sunday morning, January 5 at the Washington Baptist Church with Mr. T.

A single letter might occupy an entire page, and a Complete scene or miniature painting might be contained within the boundaries of, for* instance, an initial “C” or “D.” Some manuscripts, in fact, represent the work not only of more than one artist but of more than one generation of artists. Today, illuminated manuscripts are treasures of libraries and museums, and rightly so, for throughout a thousand years of Christian history, the art of illumination brought an extra dimension of beauty to manuscripts that are, in themselves, precious works of art.

Is it later than we think? Is the New Year 1969 or should it be 1976? Well, let’s see if there is my logic in that thought. Abot 7 BC the planets Jupiter jnd Saturn were in conjunction. Some call it juxtaposition, I think to be in alignment would be a better phrase as there k a very great distance between these planets. The Magi, astrologers or astronomers, as the case may be, knew of this alignment, where it would be most visible long before the actual event. To them the portent was the advdnt of a great personage into the earthly realm. So they came to the little town of Bethlehem bearing gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. They found the baby in a manger and knelt down and worshipped Him. They were truly wise men, apparently not surprised at His humble birth. What amazes me is that no records were kept of the actual date of the Christ Child’s birth. Had there been we could have had a Christ’s Day with all it would mean to the true Christian. As it is, we have a borrowed pagan holiday (Saturn’s Day) in which to celebrate HIS DAY. A compromise with paganism? Are we still compromising? Whatever the cause of the iaxity of the recorders, we do have a day set apart as Christ’s Birthday, we do let the spirit of love dominate us for a little while. Couldn’t we stretch that love over a longer period, take it to church with us all year through. The church is His house, let s attend it more in the year that we have before us.

State Mast Spend Large Pollution Sam The State of Virginia will need to spend more than $200 million dollars on municipal waste treatment plant construction in the next five years, Eugene Jensen, Director of the Federal Water Pollution Control Administration’s Mid-Atlantic Region told members of the Virginia Section of the American Society of Civil Engineers meeting in Richmond today. 1 nis is the projected cost of upgrading present facilities; building new facilities where untreated waste water is now discharged into Virginia’s waters; and providing for expected increases in population. Jensen predicted that population pressures in the Richmond-Petersburg-Hopewell area might soon make even modern conventional waste treatment processes inadequate and call for totally new and even more costly approaches to waste treatment along the James River. He suggested that the FWPCA and the State of Virginia make a comprehensive study of the James River Basin to determine current and future waste treatment needs and to develop programs for eliminating or reducing the pollution of the river.

The same Act also requires that water quality standards be established for all interstate waters in the Nation. All States in the FWPCA Mid-Atlantic Region have had their standards approved by the Secretary of the Interior except Virginia, Jensen said. Water quality standards for Virginia have not yet been agreed on and are still under discussion. Jensen cautioned his fellow engineers to “be aware of problems of biology and ecology” in their engineering projects and to consider and appreciate the long range and wide-spread effects of their construction programs on man’s environment. Soc. Security Notes Older people who enter the hospital under Medicare on {January 1 or after will be responsible for an additional $4 of their hospital bills. Up till now, Hazel F. Daly, social security district manager said, Medicare has paid all but the first $40 of a Medicare beneficiary’s hospital bill in each spell of illness. Effective January 1, he said, it will cover all but the First $44. She noted that the hospital bill for an average stay by a Medicare beneficiary now runs about $600. The hospital deductible amount -- the amount for which the Medicare beneficiary is responsible - she explained, is similar to the deductible amounts provided in many auto insurance policies where the car owner pays the first $50 or $100 of a repair bill and the insurance company pays the rest.
