Marsh of the Seventh District, issued the following statement from his office in Strasburg on Friday, February 6: “After deep thought, over a substantial period of time, I have reached a decision not to seek the nomination of the Democratic Party of Virginia for Representative of the 7th Congressional District to the 92nd Congress; nor, 1 might add, am I seeking the nomination of any other party. “In making this statement at this time, I am discharging what I view as an obligation to the party which has honored me with its nomination on four occasions to make my intentions known as soon as my decision had become firm. “This statement should not be interpreted as an announcement of an impending withdrawal from public life. While my present intention is to devote my full energies to active representation of the 7th Congressional District during the balance of the 91st Congress, I do not rule out the possibility that I may offer again for elective office. “At this time, I want Jp express my deep appreciation and thanks for the confidence placed in me by the citizens of this great Congressional District by giving to me the honor of representing you in the 88th, 89th, 90th and 91st Congresses of the United States. “It will be my earnest effort to exercise my best judgment in your interest, and in that of our state and nation, during the important Congressional session now in progress.” Annual Dinner Meet Of Local Cooperative The annual dinner meeting of the Culpeper Farmers’ Cooperative and affiliated stores will be held at Panorama on Wednesday evening, February 18 at 7 p.m. James E.

Mr. and Mrs. John Q. Public arc responsible for the trash which litters the highways and countryside in Rappahannock County, the State of Virginia and the Nation. Until we learn to discipline ourselves and become conscious of littering, the situation cannot improve. Above is a small sample of what graces our roads everywhere. Just west of Amissville on a wide pull-olf, tree trimmers periodically deposit their day's clippings on the side of the road. On numerous occasions, brush and limbs are left for highway workers to remove. Other tree trimmers put brush in the dump at Amissville and some hilarious gink comes along and sets the whole thing on fire. This makes delightful acrid smoke and odor for those living nearby. Join the campaign to keep our county and country clean and beautifuL Dont throw even a match stick on the roadside. *■, :l ; *! * j as.. Injuries Slight Traffic Collisions Injury and property damage were light in three traffic crashes reported by Trooper W. A. Buntin.

Freddie Jackson of Sperryville, operating a 1962 Chevrolet slowed to make a right turn into Pine Knot Inn. He was struck by Edgar Robert Lumpkin of Memphis, Tenn. in a ’66 VW who failed to see his signal. Lumpkin sustained lacerations of the chin and a concussion. He was taken to Culpeper Memorial Hospital. Damage to the Jackson car was estimated at $500 and at $400 to the Lumpkin auto. Just east of Panorama on Route 211 at 6:10 p.m. Saturday, Wilson Keyser Huffman and Ennis Clark, both of Luray, were involved in a collision. Clark was attempting to pass Huffman on the four-lane road where Skyline Drive intersects Route 211 when he skidded and struck the side of the other car. The Huffman car went down an embankment and the Clark vehicle careened across the median and hit the left bank. Damage to the Huffman car was set at $250 by Trooper Buntin and at $10 to Clark’s, who was charged with reckless driving. Shirley Jean Harris - of Washington, D. C. and Brevious Edward Jordan, jr. of Front Royal were involved in a collision on Route 211, two miles west of Washington very early Sunday morning. Harris gave a signal to pull off the right of the road in her ’69 Chevrolet and Jordan, operating a ’61 Chevrolet,'twr into the rear of the Harris car. Hie Jordan vehicle was declared a total loss and damage to the Harris car was estimated at a thousand dollars. Shirley Harris and a passenger in her car, Carolyn Robinson of Culpeper were taken to Culpeper Memorial Hospital by car. Both were complaining of back and neck injuries. Jordan was charged with reckless driving. Chester Gap Carnival Chester Gap firemen have set the dates for the annual carnival for July 1, 2, 3 and 4.

Entries Open for Hound Drag Race Entry blanks for the fox hound drag race to be held in conjunction with thle Rappahannock Point-to-Point Races on March 7 will be mailed early next week to more than eighty owners. According to W. H. Lyne, chairman of the drag race, entries must be in by March I. Awards in the drag race, both cash and trophy, will in genera) be the same as in previous years. Lyne said he expected the largest number of entries ever, since many hound owners have indicated keen determination in seeing that Jack Bruce does not retire the challenge trophy this year. Though this challenge trophy does not necessarily have to be won in consecutive years, the Bruce hounds have been the victors for the past two years, so with a win this year, the coveted bowl will be his for keeps. With 58 hounds driving hard and staying well grouped, the race last year was proclaimed by many to be the best ever and by far the most exciting event of the occasion. Mail entries for the hound race to W. H. Lyne, Washington, Va, 22747.

Auditors Compliment Excellence of Co. Bookkeeping at Supervisors Meet The Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors received the •rt from the firm wj regortfrorn^ sa audit.

PUBLISHED' THURSDAY. fiTORNTMT At Washington, Rappahannock County, Va. Telephone: WASHINGTON 675-3349 MRS. SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Entered as 2nd Class Mail at the P. O. at Washington, Va. Subscriptions (ta| advance). $3.00 In Rappahannock and adjacent counties; $3.50 East coast; $4.00 mid-west; $4.50 West Letter To Editor Letter to the Editor Dear Mrs. Latham: The budget requested by the State Board of Education is being heavily cut at a time when State funds are needed to maintain and improve our current educational system. Additional money is badly needed to improve our present standards if any progress is to be realized in the public educational Held. Items In the budget were cut which are essential and because of reductions, localities must bear 100% of any additional money required. It has been reported that there is a wide percentage increase in budget request among certain Departments at the State level. Present operating budgets with requested increases show that Welfare is up 125.2%, Higher Education • 83.1%, Public Health - 64.7%, Mental Health - 45.4%, and Public Education - 26.4%. I feel that there may be justification in some of the large increases but the increase in Public Education does seem to be on the low side in comparison to other Departments. Why are we concerned with the budget presented by the State Board of Education? This appears to be far away from us in many ways but it directly affects our financial ability to operate our schools efficiently and progressively in Rappahannock County. The budget as recommended by former Governor Godwin has cut deeply in the Public Education funds. Unless $36,000,000 is restored, many difficulties will be encountered in trying to provide a quality education program. ' I urge you to write now to your Delegate and Senator to restore the $36,000,000 to the Board Budget. Respectfully, Irvin IV KUby * Imp *ms ■ v * Today’s Woman Judy Burtner Extension Agent, Home Economies Observing Valentine’s Day Saturday is Valentine’s Day. One of the most romantic days of the year. It is interesting to note from where the custom of observing Valentine’s Day decends. When we exchange messages of love or printed comic insults this February 14, we will be carrying on a tradition whose origins are replete with legends that go back to antiquity. While awaiting his execution Letter To Editor The Honorable Duncan C. Gibb House of Delegates Richmond, Virginia My dear Mr. Gibb: I am a resident of the Town of Washington, Va. and enrolled as a full-time student of Old Dominion University at Norfolk, Va. I write to you to request your help and support in an issue that is of great concern to me. 9 Last September the State of Virginia charged Old Dominion College with the responsibility of becoming an urban university. Last month it recommended a budget for the 1970-72 biennium to the General Assembly which placed Old Dominion in a financial category lower than that of the state’s two-year community colleges. If the proposed budget stands, the name ‘university’ will be a mockery at this institution. The story told by statistics is clear: » There are four other institutions in Virginia with the title of ‘university’. They average $1380.25 per full-time-equivalent student (PTE), $671.25 or 94.7% more than the amount received by Old Dominion University. Eleven state four-year colleges average $827.00 per FTE student, $118 or 16.6% above ODU. In conclusion, I ask your support to the plea made by ODU President James L. Bugg, Jr. Deiore tne Appropriations Committee of the House of Delegates, requesting the restoration of $3,783,660 to the recommended budget of $18,752,825. Sincerely, Stewart W. Hawkins for helping Christian Martyrs, later legends have Roman priest, St. Valehtitws, tailing, in love with ffie'SHnd 3augfiter of his jailer. Through his deep faith, Valentine was able to restore the girl’s sight. On the evening before his execution, he wrote a farewell message to her which he signed, “From Your Valentine”. He was beheaded on February 14, 1970 A.D. which was also the Feast of Lupercalia. So gradually this new Christian holiday became a time for exchanging love messages, and St. Valentine emerged as the patron saint of lovers. Through all the years and messages sent, the message of love is always the same, “You’re The Best There Is.” Observing Valentine’s Day in a family can do much toward the feeling of togetherness for both partners, as well as for children.

There will be a “Sock-Hop” after the game on Friday night. “The Gravin’ Image” will be featured. Admission is 35 cents per person, and 50 cents a couple. From The Virginia General Assembly Duncan C. Gibb The volume of legislation which is being introduced in the House jof Delegates is beginning to 'increase and as each bill is considered by a committee, this means committees are now very active. The General Laws Committee, of wtrich I am a member, had a public.hearing on Tuesday on changes^np^he §taie Wafer. Control Law, which nas as Its primary purpose the prevention of pollution of our state’s waters. Since there was so much interest in this legislation, it was referred to a subcommittee, and I am serving on that. The question of air pollution is also being considered by the General Laws Committee and there will undoubtedly be a great deal of interest in this subject as well. The budget recommended by former Governor Godwin includes increases in funds for several matters in which I am particularly interested. I hope that they will be approved by the legislature. The funds for construction and maintenance of the primary highway system is increased 15.6% and the secondary highway system 20.3%. Good NA-BOR Store CPERRYVILLE QORNER $TORE SPERRYV1LLE.

The proposed budget also provides for twenty-five additional state troopers each year of the biennium. I have urged the Appropriations {Committee, to increase this item AortPjjimfle for an additional fifty troopers 1 believe that these additional state troopers will play a large part In reducing the number of deaths and injuries on our highways, and I hope that the Appropriations Committee will consider favorably* my request. It also provides for a Regional Office in Arlington for the state medical examiner and this will be a great convenience and assistance to the law enforcement officials of this area. I have introduced a bill permitting the governing body of a county, city, or town to adopt an ordinance regulating the operation of vehicles and pedestrian traffic upon any parking lot or driveway or premises of any business or other property open to the public. The purpose of this bill is to permit the localities to regulate traffic in shopping centers and other places such as this where traffic control is necessary and is not now subject to any regulation. I am a member of the Agriculture Committee and on Tuesday it considered House Bill 76, which provided for the licensing of riding schools and defined a riding school as any establishment in connection with which one or more horses was let for hire. This bill was defeated in the committee because the members did not consider that it was needed in every section of Library Lines To The Mother* AND Fathers of Rappahannock County Children: This is a challenge, not an appeal! You’ve seen the national advertisement which says “Give us the man who reads!" - will your child be welcomed in his field of endeavor because of his wide general knowledge, in addition to his specialized abilities? The love of reading must be instilled In children at an early age. And your library is trying to help through the Saturday morning Children's Hour. However, the library can’t do it all. You must be willing to sacrifice a little of your leisure or a little of your sleep or a little of ydur working time to GET THE CHILDREN HERE. Since no public transportation is available, the children must depend upon you to bring them. Won’t you organize car pools in your area? If you do this each family should have to give only one day a month, a small gift for the benefit of your children. So far, the mothers have been trying to bring their little ones, and some of them have willingly given their own time to read. Now, it is the FATHERS’ turn, to provide the transportation. Many men complain that the lives of their children, especially boys, are controlled too much by women. WE CAN USE MEN READERS! It would be very good for the children to listen to a male voice occasionally, and to hear a man’s viewpoint of the stories he reads. This is one small way in which you can back up your opinion with action. Call 987-8348 to register.

Doesn’t make much difference as to the kind of feed but a whole lots cheaper to put that feed in the calf than in the cow. the state and that it would be too costly to administer.

Southern States Front Royal Cooperative Phon* ME 5-3118 FRONT ROYAL Your Southern States Cooperative Agency Hurricane Hunters Score In Most Destructive Year Washington -- Despite a year of record devastation, hurricane hunting is paying off. Last year was the most damaging hurricane season in United States history, though far from the most deadly. put man may be close to easing the hurricane’s menace. Property damage soared to $1,421 billion in 1969. All of it was the work of the only storm to hit the United States, Camille, which lashed the Gulf Coast of Mississippi and Alabama with 200-mUe-an-hour winds, then ripped north to flood Virginia hill country. Camille, though far from the worst killer hurricane to ravage the United States, claimed 285 lives, the National Geographic Society says. Never Better Warned The toll might have been a thousand higher without the warnings that alerted 75,000 persons to flee the coast, according to Robert H. Simpson, director of the National Hurricane Center in Miami. “People have never been warned so well or so bften,” he says. Hurricane hunters spotted Camille soon after it was spawned as a mere tropical storm off the coast of West Africa. They traced it by plane, radar, and satellite television as it picked up steam, swirling across the Atlantic, the Caribbean, and into the Gulf of Mexico. The Gulf Coast received 12 hours warning. The 1900 a hurricane slammed into Galveston, Texas, with little notice, taking 6,000 lives. Besides providing better warning, hurricane hunters of Project Stormfury have been flying their planes into the teeth of these most dreaded storms to learn how to tame them. After the 1969 experiments, they believe they now know how to blunt a hurricane’s bite. Dr. Cecil Gentry, head of the National Hurricane Research Laboratory in Miami, says the planes dropped silver iodide crystals near the center or “eye” of hurricane Debbie, causing the wind to drop briefly from 113 to 78 miles an hour. Great Breakthrough After years of semi-successes, this was considered a great breakthrough. Dr. Simpson speculated that “in five years time we’ll probably set up operations for regular seeding of all hurricanes threatening the continent.” Seeding will never kill a hurricane, but it helps to distribute heat throughout the storm, weakening the uprush of hot air that causes ^powerful chimney effect near the ranter. This power is enormous. Hurricane winds are produced by only about 4 percent of the storm’s heat energy. And the heat energy produced in one day by a mature hurricane is equal to all the electrical energy generated in the world for three years. When it comes to keeping the hurricane’s might from the coast, the scientists may never be the match-despite all their planes, Instruments, and knowledge-of the islanders on Saipan. Early last year the island was threatened by a typhoon, the Pacific Ocean version of a hurricane. The island legislature promptly voted a resolution forbidding the typhoon to come closer, and it stopped abruptly 240 miles at sea. I - I Feed Grain Program Benefits Small Farm The 1970 feed grain program of the U. S. Department of Agriculture includes special provision for farms with 25 acres or less in their feed grain bases. Also, producers with feed grain bases up to 125 acres will have the option of temporarily reducing their bases down to 25 acres to become eligible for the small farm provirions. No com, grain sorghum, or barley is to be planted for harvest on farms with temporarily reduced feed grain bases, and the 25-acre temporary base must be diverted to conserving uses. The small-farm provision is the same as in previous years. A farm with a feed grain base of 25 acres or less can qualify for payment on the first 20 percent of its diverted acreage. (For farms with larger bases, no payment is made for the required 20 percent diversion.) The payment rate for the first 20 percent diversion on small farms will be based on 20 percent of the estimated total county price-support times the farm’s projected yield on the 20 percent reduction. The remaining diverted acres will earn payment bases on 40 percent of the estimated total county price support times the farm’s projected yield. The entire base may be diverted from fped grain production on farms with bases of 25 acres or less. Other provisions of the 1970 feed grain program are the same for all participating farms. This includes price support payments, availability of price-support lpans, wheat-feed grain substitution, and sign-up and compliance requirements. Sign-up period for the 1970 wheat and feed grain programs will be February 2 through March 20 at the county ASCS office. W. O. Thornton Receives Discharge Warrant Officer P.

This first Rappahannock waa dissolved as a county in 1651 and its territory divided between two then created counties, Essex and Richmond, with the area of present Rappahannock becoming a section of Essex. In 1720 it was joined to Spotsylvania when that county was carved from Essex. In 1734 it went into Orange and in 1745 into Culpeper, where it remained until it became a separate county in 1833. The records of these antecedent counties are replete with Rappahannock family names. As the first U. S. Census taken after the formation of Rappahannock was in 1840, there is no such tally of its inhabitants in 1833. However, a numeration of the heads of households can be had from the Property (Tax) Books of 1833 and 1834. Neither of those are Complete, so for an accurate count both have to be consulted. These tax books were first compilec in Virginia in 1782 though a number between that year and 1787 are missing. It is interesting to note that the Culpeper books of 1783 contains the names of a majority of the families living in Rappahannock County in 1833. The 1833 assessment list of Rappahannock was compiled by David Brown and not of 1834 by William Menefee, Commissioner of Revenue. The roster of Rappahannock was typical of the other Piedmont counties as to the national origins of the people. There were 1880 negroes, 1858 slaves and 22 “free men of color.” “Freetown”, on Fodderstack Road near Flint Hill was a settlement of these free men. ui tne wmies, tne English predominated. They were mostly from eastern Virginia. There were a number of Seoteh-Irish from the counties west of the Blue Ridge, Germans from the valley and from the Germanna Ford settlement, a few. Welsh and French — the latter coming from the Huguenot colony of Manakin, on the James River near Richmond. The Amiss family, for whom Amissville was named, was such a French family that settled in Manakin in 1700. The Personal Property Books show considerable about .the I financial standing of the citizens in 1833, though probably even in those days there were some who preferred fiscal modesty to increased assessments and were better fixed than the books attest. There were some with considerable holdings, but for the most part they were of modest means, as shown by the large number who paid the minimum tax of six cents or more. Personal taxes were levied on family vehicles, horses and slaves. The rate was low, as was the county’s take. The total personal tax paid in 1833 was $616.80 and in 1834, $752.80. The largest levy of 1833 was that of Aylett Hawes —$13.08. Mr. Hawes was the owner of thq, largest number of slaves of anyone in the county, all of whom he freed in his will, an interesting and humane document. He showed concern for the old and in firm, setting up trust funds for their maintainance. For the others he provided means for their transportation to Liberia, except those whose complexions were so light as was calculated to make them trouble in Liberia.

(Answers on Pafs 6) were left money to take them to Ohio. When the county was formed there were veterans of the Revolutionary War living in the county. Upon the creation of the county, Governor Floyd appointed a Commission of the Peace, its governing body. The Commission consisted of twenty four members. Elijah Amiss, John D. Browning, John R. Browning, Willis Browning, Dawson I. Burgess, George Deatherage, Robert Eastham, James Green, William A. Lane, Daniel Mason, Henry R. Menefee, James Menefee, GabrieL Parks, George Shackelford, Reuben Slaughter, William Slaughter, Thomas Spindel, French Strother, Alexander H. Spillman, Howard F. Thornton, Addison Turner, John Turner, Thomas Walden and William Walden. The Commission held its first meeting at the home of Ann Coxe in Washington, April 1, 1833. It named William A. Lane, Daniel Mason and Henry R. Menefee as a committee to consider the building of a Court House, Clerk’s Office and Jail. On April 16, the Commission decided that Washington was the worst suitable location for the county’s public buildings and ordered I William A. Lane, Daniel Mason, Henry R. Menefee, William Slaughter and Gabriel Parks to contract for and supervise the erection of these buildings. Contract for the Court House and Clerk’s Office was awarded to Malcum (sic) H. Crawford for $4500.00 and that for the jail to John W. Fant for $2600.00 specifying separate quarters for debtor prisoners. The Court Officers of 1833 were: Judge Superior Court — Richard H. Field Sheriff — William A. Lane Commissioner of Revenue — William Menefee Clerk — William J. Menefee Prosecutor — Horatio I. Moffett Coroner—Gabriel Tutt' The members of the first Grand Jury were — Bird Eastham, Foreman, Evans Bragg, Alfred Dearing, Anson Dealing, James Fletcher, Thomas Fletcher, William Fletcher, John Groves, Ezekiel Haines, John Jenkins, William E. Jones, John Kaylor, Richard Kinsley, Jones Menefee, Warner Miller, James Moore and William Thornhill. * The lawyers' of the county, recorded in the Order Book as “Gentleman,” were: Minor Gibson, John S. Homer, Horatio Gates Moffett, Barlow Shackelford and John S. Turner. While the grand jury acted on a large number of cases in the first two years, the offenses were generally of minor nature, such as those that arise from the weakness of the flesh, bootlegging, selling “ardent spirits’1 to slaves without permission of the owners, disturbing the peace and failure of overseers to keep the roads in repair. It seems that the authorities showed tolerance in these cases, but not when a citizen was indicted for stealing “bank notes’’ from the Clerk’s Office. The accused was held without bail, convicted and sentenced to two years in the state penitentiary at Richmond. FUnt Hill provided one of the more lively cases, when on Sept. 22, 1834 the “owner of a house of intertainment and public resort*’ was indicted for selling “ardent spirits without a license”, “suffering quarrelling, fighting, drunkness (sic) and unlawful gaming” by its guests and “other notorious persons.” Hie gaming offense consisted of running a Faro game, which apparently aroused suspicions of the players as to its operation. A fight broke out, followed by a raid in which the proprietor, his “houseman” and eighteen participants, representative and substantial citizens, were picked up and Indicted.

I read the Bible through several times, the New Testament possibly fifteen or twenty times. I've studied the origins of other popular religions, theories of the origin of the universe and various species. I especially like Action, I can just relax and not concern myself too much with the plausibility of the story. I recall a story that has haunted me since I Arst read it. .There were two brothers in love with the same fair maiden. She favored the younger brother, he was just a clean cut young man who loved the open spaces and life in general. Big, bad brother was an alchemist who was adept in the black arts.

Well, he mixes his potion and introduces it into baby brother, who instead of disintegrating completely, retains his torso. Big brother brings his black magic into play again • he cuts off the head of his horse and attaches baby brother’s torso to body of horse, creating a centaur. Baby brother lives a long and more-or-less happy life thundering over the meadows at night while big brother, married to a woman who does not love 1 We Can Supply Ail 'Tour .

Do you suppose there is a catalyst that mixed with the chemistry of the human body could cause complete disintegration. The Bible says that we are dust and to dust we must return.
