VA. STATE LIBS ART RICHMOND 19. VA. 23219 cjfcr FEB ,j/l i^appiiliaiiuiick'Ncuu; STATE LIBRARY WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA 1 THURSDAY, FEBRUARY IS, 1971 Single Copy - 10c R.L.E.P. Gives Opinions Concerning Proposed Power Transmission Line R. Philip Irwin, President Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection What is the Riverton-Boston Project? Potomac Edison proposes to build a 138,000 volt transmission line roughly from the northernmost to the southernmost corners of Rappahannock County, the entire vertical distance, dividing the county about in the middle. Why is this proposed transmission line needed? Potomac Edison wishes to establish its own new transmission route within a narrow finger of geographical territory which extends thru Rappahannock from its immense franchise area north of Virginia. The Virginia Electric Power Company territory surrounds this finger of Potomac Edison franchise on three sides and several cooperative power companies are within it, serving rural families the big companies didn’t care to. Who would benefit from the line? Potomac Edison Power Company will benefit by having established its very own line to bring power from its power-short area in the north to the south of its territory where in several years there will be a surplus of cheaper power available from VEPCO’s atomic plant in Louisa County. Potomac Edison’s customers in Rappahannock, Madison, Culpeper, Greene, Orange, and Page Counties will not benefit from this line in any way that they would not benefit by obtaining power from VEPCO without this line. Just what would the line do for Rappahannock customers? Nothing that can’t be done more cheaply, reliably and without the destruction of property values and scenic beauty. Reliable service to Rappahannock County can be provided for many years using only the present distribution wire if Potomac Edison will obtain its power from VEPCO. How long will the line be? A little over 30 miles, about 22 miles through the center of Rappahannock’s imcomparable natural beauty. What kind of structures would be used? Potomac Edison has still refused to state other than “the first 23 miles would be built with wooden poles in ‘H-Frame’ construction” and “the last 7 miles would be double circuit steel towers for a future second circuit”. In nearly all cases where a power company has built a high-voltage transmission line on wooden towers, it has soon replaced them with the permanent steel towers. The promised additional circuit indicates that the right-of-way, if it can be obtained, will be used for bigger and better steel towers in the future. How wide must a right-of-way be? Potomac Edison has been trying vainly to purchase a 100 foot wide strip through Rappahannock County although industry standards for a line of 138,000 volts call for 125 feet. Once a property owner grants a rightof-way, does he have any control over how the land under the line may be used? Can a single property owner be expected to understand the legal and forever binding aspects of a right of way contract drawn up by an experienced and committed power company with many years of expertise in negotiating for itself the most favorable contracts? Could the power company increase the width of the right of way? Yes, simply by negotiating with the property owner of land already made almost worthless. Once a route had been established, Potomac Edison could easily expand its facility. Could the power company install a second transmission line on a right-of-way? Yes, with a slight additional width to accommodate it. Also Potomac Edison could erect larger towers to carry additional power. How many property owners would be directly affected by the proposed line? Every property owner within Rappahannock County would be directly affected to a degree lessening as the distance from such a line increases. Property owners underneath the line would suffer as much as 80 percent loss in value and only recover a small portion if they sold out now to Potomac Edison’s first offer and as much as half of their loss should they wait for possible condemnation awards. All other property owners would lose value with no compensation at all. Everyone would be affected by the permanent injury to Bi-county Arts & Craft Group Meeting The Bi-County Arts and Crafts Club will meet Thursday, February 18, at 7:30 p.m. at the home of Mrs. Russell Deane in Boston. Mrs. William Huff will be in charge of the program on “Crewel Embroidery” Ash Wednesday and Lenten Service There will be a service of Litany and short talk by the Rector at Trinity Episcopal Church on Ash Wednesday at 12 noon. A Lenten weekly service is planned with the joint churches, Baptist, Episcopal and Methodist participating. The program will start Sunday, February 28 with a Pot Luck Supper from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Trinity Church Parish Hall, followed by the discussion program. Rappahannock’s scenic environment. How are right-of-way fees determined? Potomac Edison will offer landowners the lowest price it feels might be accepted. The power company could be faulted by its stockholders and regulatory agencies if it did not try to obtain a right-of-way at the lowest possible price. Potomac Edison claims to use the before and after method of evaluation, value before a line would be built less value the day (Continued on page 3) Traffic Crashes Occur Here John Francis Durham of Castleton struck^and killed a deer February 13 a mile east of Sperryville. Damage to his 1971 M. G. was estimated at $100 and replacement value of a deer is set at $100 also. On the 14th of February at 3 a.m. two miles north of Huntly on Route 522 William G. Eastham of Amissville escaped injury when he struck a parked vehicle. Eastham was operating a 71 Ford when he skidded and hit a 65 Ford owned by Amos Ritter of Huntly which was parked about 10 feet off the left of the1 highway. He was charged with reckless driving. Damage to the Eastham vehicle was estimated at two thousand dollars and at one thousand to the Ritter vehicle. Trooper W. A. Buntin investigated the above crashes. Two vehicles were involved in a collision Sunday just after noon on Route 522 a mile north of Huntly. Earl Samuel Wharton of Sperryville operating a 70 Mercury slowed for traffic and was struck in the rear by a 62 Chevrolet taxi operated by William Burton Bowers of Front Royal. uamage to yie Mercury was estimated at a thousand dollars and to the taxi at seven hundred. Earlier that morning, a mile and a half north of Huntly on Route 522 a one-vehicle crash occurred. Mrs. Muriel Conner of Stephenson, Va. operating a 68 Plymouth skidded on ice and struck a rock retaining wall. The vehicle went over the embankment and came to rest on its side. Mrs. Conners, 54, sustained lacerations and abrasions of the face and body and a possible fractured back. John Wayne Conner, 14, her son, sustained lacerations and abrasions of the face and body. Both were taken to Warren Memorial Hospital, Front Royal by Chester Gap Rescue Squad. Trooper K. L. Miller was in authority at these two accidents. County May Loose Blood Prgram Fauquier and Rappahannock counties have been warned they may be dropped from participation in the Regional Blood Center program. The National Red Cross has placed the two units on probation and may soon refuse to send bloodmobiles and blood supplies from the regional center if the local chapter continues to donate less than its quota of blood. W. W. Parkinson, chairman of the two-county Red Cross chapter, relayed this warning to the volunteers at a recent meeting held in Warrenton. Figures indidate that should the chapter be removed from the program, the cost of blood to hospital recipients would be as much as 400 percent higher since the only alternative would be to purchase it from commercial blood banks. It is hoped that in future visits from the Bloodmobile the quotas will be met. Guitar Concert by The Romeros The Romeros, termed as Spain’s First Family of Guitar, will appear in concert at the second in the series of three concerts sponsored by the Culpeper Community Association, at the Culpeper County High School, Feburary 27 at 8 p.m. The Romeros Quartet consists of Celedonio Romero and his three sons, Celin, Pepe and Angel. Area concert goers are fortunate to hear this group, acclaimed throughout the world for their virtuosity. Readiness Program Set for Summer Rappashannock County is tentatively planning a pre-school program for all coupty children who will enter the First Grade for the first time in September, 1971. This program will be funded by federal funds and will involve no expense to the parents. The program will be designed: to orientate the child to his new environment; provide the teachers an opportunity to diagnose the strengths and weaknesses of each child so that an appropriate program may be designed for him; and to provide some general readiness activities. These activities are tentatively scheduled for July 5 through July 30, 1971 and will be held at Rappahannock County Elementary School from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. Bus transportation will be made available along the main routes. In order for the school officials to plan properly for this program, it is necessary for each child to be pre-registered. This may be done at the same time that the child is registered for the regular school program. Mr. Robert Leonard, Director of Instruction for Warren-Rappahannock counties, advises teachers on in-service courses beyig offered in the Central Virginia Center of the School of General Studies of the University of Virginia. Teachers from the Rappahannock County Elementary School are now enrolled in the following classes: one in U. S. History; two in Art in the Elementary School; one in Human Growth and Development; two in Elementary School Curriculum; three in Math for Elementary Teachers; one in Personal Health and Safety; four in Teaching Language Arts to the Mentally Retarded; and one in Theory and Practice of Guidance. During the fall term, eight elementary teachers took a most interesting and informative class, Teaching Reading. Conferring with Mr. Leonard are, left, Mrs. Mary Quaintance, principal of the local elementary school, and right, Mrs. Christine Johnston and Mys. Lavinia Barron, teachers in the school. Registration Day for First Graders Children who will enter the first grade in Rappahannock County next year will be registered at the Rappahannock County Elementary School on Thursday, February 25, 1971, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., it was announced today by O. A. Norton, Division Superintendent of Schools. Every child in the county who will be six years of age on or before October 1, 1971 is to be registered by his parent or guardian at this time. In order that adequate educational planning may be accomplished, it is very important that all entering first graders be registered on this day. Parents are reminded that they must present an official copy of their child’s Birth Certificate at the time of registration. Parents who do not have an official Birth Certificate should bring $2.00 to cover the cost of securing this record. The Public Health Nurse, Mrs. Frances Thornton, will be present at this registration session to explain to parents the required procedure for health examination and immunization of these preschool children. Cubs Collect Cub Scouts of Pack 123, Den 3, of Amissville marched for the Heart Fund on February 13 and collected $25.00 for this cause. The Cubs who canvassed at Hackley’s and Tolson's stores were Danny Criss, Douglas Tolson, Mark Paul and Wayne Kowarsch. The money collected will be presented to the Heart Fund at the Cub Scout Blue and Gold Banquet which is scheduled for February 23. Mrs. Margaret Criss is Den Mother for the group. Annual License Renewals Mailed 1971 Virginia State license applications went into the mail February 11 at the Division of Motor Vehicles Central Office in Richmond. Plates go on sale Monday, March 15. All vehicle owners are reminded that DMV has mailed 1971 applications to all known vehicle owners who had 1970 license plates in their name. Application cards were mailed to all addresses of record. The issuance of annual license tags is one of the biggest production jobs in State Government. The very short period of time in which it is accomplished makes license tag renewal one of the most difficult jobs. For this reason, it is necessary to start printing the 2.4 million renewal applications with each individual’s name and address on January 2nd of each year. While this is going on, people are buying and selling vehicles. These people should receive two applications, one for the vehicle owned prior to January 2, 1971 and one for any vehicle purchased between late December and April, 1971. Vehicle owners who have not kept DMV posted with correct addresses may not receive renewal applications. Because oi me requests tor replacement applications and because of ownership discrepancies caused by the holding of title by various institutions, V\ million replacement applications are prepared each year by DMV. This is V* million over and above the 2.4 million annual mailings. Those persons who do not receive their application by February 25 should notify the Division of Motor Vehicles, P. 0. Box 27412, Richmond, Virginia, 23261 to insure receipt of proper card needed to purchase 1971 license plates. No plates can be sold before Monday, March 15, When license plates are ordered by mail, do not reuse the envelope you received from DMV. If this is. done, any remittance therein will be lost among the thousands of pieces of returned mail. Answer all questions on the application. As all application cards are mechanically processed at the Central Office in Richmond, send the following information on a postal card or letter and request an application card: full name as shown on title, Virginia title number, 1970 license number if owner has a current license tag, make and year model of vehicle, and your correct return address. Wait seven days for your new application. The Rappahannock Point-to-Point Races are scheduled for Saturday, March 6, 1971 at the race course on James W. Fletcher’s Thornton Hill Farm, Sperryville, Va. Race officials who met at the course Sunday for an inspection tour were, left to right, Edward J. Haggerty, race committee chairman; John G. Carney, jr., publicity chairman; Mrs. Natalie F. March, Rappahannock Hunt secretary ; and R. Philip Irwin, treasurer. Bake Sale Feb. 20 at Sperryville Store A Bake Sale will be held on Saturday, February 20 beginning at 10 a.m. at the Corner Store in Sperryville. Proceeds will benefit the Sperryville United Methodist Church. Adult Education Classes Continue The Adult Education Classe; continue to be held each Thursday night at the local high school, however, on several occasions bad weather has prevented this activity. For the next four sessions the classes will cover three hours each to make up the time lost because of the weather. The finals exercise is still scheduled for Thursday, March 18 as planned. When the regular high school classes are suspended* on Thursday because of the weather, the adult education classes will also be suspended that night. Seventy-eight people enrolled in the courses and the average attendance is sixty-six. Rappk Crafts Group Sets Meeting on 23 The Rappahannock Arts and Crafts Group will meet at the Terhune home near Amissville on Tuesday, February 23 at 10 a.m. Two representatives of the power company will be present to assist with advice on the wiring of antique lamps. They will show slides on the use of proper shades and bulbs and the decorating possibilities of lamps in general. Ideas on the making of lamp shades will be welcomed and anyone interested is invited to join the group. From The General Assembly Delegate Duncan C. Gibb The House of Delegates completed its final action on 1 Thursday upon the bill to 1 redistrict the House of Delegates. ' This matter has been studied for some time by the Privileges and Elections Committee and the bill, as recommended by that Committee, placed Fauquier, Warren, Clarke, Frederick and the City of Winchester into one district with two delegates being elected from the district at large. Since the governing bodies had indicated that they would prefer to have single member districts, I offered on the floor of the House an amendment to the proposed bill which would have provided one district for Fauquier and Warren Counties and another district for Clarke, Frederick and Winchester. This amendment was defeated by the House of Delegates on the grounds that it would not meet the “one man-one vote” requirement of the Supreme Court of the United States. It is anticipated that the bill will be approved by the Senate and it then must be signed by the Governor. The final reapportionment of the House of Delegates, Senate and Congressional Districts must be approved by the Attorney General of the United States. If this approval is not granted, the General Assembly will be | required to meet again sometime later this year in order to rearrange the districts according j to the requirements of the federal government under the Civil Rights Act. Rappahannock County has been added to Orange, Madison and Culpeper Counties to form one House of Delegates district in the redistricting bill passed by the House of Delegates last week. Local Average Tax Deduction $1,900 ! Residents of Rappahannock! County who are beginning to look | at their 1970 expense figures, in | preparation for their forthcoming j Federal income tax reports, can, now tell how closely their personal j deductions compare with the! average. Have they been giving more money to charity than most people in their income brackets do, or less? Are their deductible medical expenses above average? Arei their local tax deductions higher? For taxpayers to know what is normal in the way of deductions would be of considerable benefit to [them. Some guidance along this line is provided by the Commerce Clearing House, national authority on business and tax law, for people in each income bracket. Their findings are based upon Treasury Department figures. They show that most families in the United States that have gross incomes of the size reported by the average family in Rappahannock County list deductions of $1,900, equal to approximately 20 percent of their total earnings. In general, it is found, the percentage of income deducted is bigger among people in the lower brackets and smaller among those with large incomes. For example, local families in the $7,000 to $8,000 range have deductions of 21 percent, on average, whereas deductions for those in the $15,000 to $20,000 area amount to only 16 percent of their gross. The normal deductions listed for families throughout the country with incomes corresponding to the Rappahannock County average are: for charitable contributions, $268, for interest on loans and on installment debt, $629, for local taxes, $625, and for medical expenses, $378. In some instances, a family’s deductions may run well above these averages. That does not mean that they are improper or will be disallowed. It does mean that the taxpayer must be able to substantiate the figures with proper records. The Commerce Clearing House cautions that the deductions it lists for each income group are not to be taken as the amounts the Internal Revenue Service will necessarily accept without requiring proof. The bill which was passed by he House of Delegates luthorizing localities to grant tax •xemption to persons 65 years of ige, meeting certain •equirements, has now been ipproved by the Senate. This bill does not make it mandatory for the local boards of supervisors to take this action but merely grants them the authority to do so. The bill approved by the House of Delegates authorizing localities to tax on the basis of use rather than fair market value, real estate used for agriculture, horticulture, forest and open space is still being considered by the Senate. Several resolutions have been offered in both the House of Delegates and the Senate calling for a complete study of Blue Cross and Blue Shield. Another bill has been offered in the Senate which would give the State Corporation Commission control over the premiums charged by Blue Cross and Blue Shield. The Governor has also recommended that a study be made of this subject. It is anticipated that some definite action will be taken by this session of the legislature along these lines. ( Fire and Rescud ( Squad Notes ’ The Chester Gap Rescue Squad was called on Sunday to Route 522 where a car had gone down an embankment.

LETTERS to EDITOR Mrs. Sarah Latham Rappahannock News Washington, Va. Dear Mrs. Latham: It is my sincere hope that the concerned citizens of Rappahannock County will find some way to defeat the Riverton-Boston project. In addition to marring the scenic beauty of this area, the cost of constructing a power line this large will certainly be passed on to the consumer in the form of higher rates. Potomac Edison’s rates are extremely high already. Of course, we can all “live better electrically” but is it worth the cost? Very truly yours, Mrs. Edward P. Parker Amissville, Va. HUNTLY NEWS Mrs. James Dawson is a surgical patient in the Georgetown University Hospital. Her step-mother Mrs. Alvin Bentley of Ojvosso, Mich, is a guest of Sbmmarbeth, home of Mr. and Mrs. James Dawson. She has also visited her step-son Michael Bentley and Mrs. Bentley at Rose Hill, Washington. Roast Beef Dinner The Women of St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church in Culpeper will hold a roast beef dinner, Saturday, Feb. 27, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. Tickets may be purchased in advance at Valley Music Co., 131 W. Davis St. in Culpeper. More Consumers IJse Electricity 3 ...... Customers served by Potomac Edison have been using more power recently than at any time in the history of the company. Demand reached a record high in late January when PE customers here used 1,009 megawatts of power. This is enough to supply the electrical energy needs of more than 30 cities the size of Hagerstown, Md. During the cold wave early this month, demand hovered around the 1,000-megawatt mark. Part of the increased demand came from the utility’s residential customers, who used an average of 8,024 kilowatt-hours of electricity during 1970. This represents an 8 percent increase over the 1969 figure and is higher than that recorded by a utility in the Middle Atlantic region, which includes Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey. Some changes were made in the Rappahannock Angus Feeder Calf Sale requirements that should be of interest to many county feeder calf producers. During their annual banquet meeting, members voted to change the name of the sale to the Rappahannock Feeder Calf Sale Association and to expand the sale to include not only Angus but Hereford and cross bred calves of strictly beef breeding. After considerable discussion, it was decided to accept both unvaccinated and Bangs vaccinated heifers in the sale. These heifers will be penned and sold together but will be identified by different colored metal ear tags. The average steer in last fall’s sale weighed 484 pounds, brought 36.41 per cwt. and sold for a total of $176.27 per head. The average heifer weighed 466 pounds, brought 29.57 per pound and sold for $129.15 per head. Regular market watchers agreed that prices received at the Rappahannock Sale were from 3 to 6 cents per pound, or from $12 to $24 per head over the regular market price. Officers reelected for 1971 were Newbill Miller, President, Jim Yates, Vice President and Sale Manager, Mrs. Lois D. Snead, Secretary and Treasurer, and directors - Weldon Burke, Ned JohnSbn and Ike Parrish. In Heart Attack, Indecision And Inaction Can Be Fatal (This is the second of a series of three articles presented by your Heart Association to infbrtn readers of this newspaper1 about the urgent need for prompt medical help in the event of heart attack.) Many heart attack deaths result from electricol irregularities of the heart. These abnormalities often can be corrected by the use of new electronic devices, new drugs and other techniques which are reducing in-hospital mortality from heart attack by about 30 per cent. Your Heart Association foresees the realistic prospect of salvaging at least 50,000 “hearts too good to die” through specialized coronary care services, and has accepted some major challenges looking toward such an objective. Its first goal is to bring about, through public and professional education, a drastic reduction in the time intervening between the onset of heart attack symptoms and the individual's admission to a hospital. The key issue here is to acquaint millions of Americans with the need to get immediate medical pssi?tance, and to instantly recognize these usual warning symptoms of heart attack: • A prolonged, oppressive pain or discomfort in the center of your chest, just behind the breast bone. • The pain may radiate to a shoulder, arm, neck or jaw. • The pain or discomfort is often accompanied by sweating. • Nausea, vomiting and shortness of breath may also occur. • The symptoms may subside, then return. The second major objective of your Heart Association is to encourage an expansion of coronary care facilities to cover as many as possible of the nation’s 8,000 hospitals treating acutely ill patients, About 3,000 hospitals are now Miss U.S.A.

They are the eyes of Miss Debbie Shelton of Norfolk, Va., who is reigning this year as Miss U. S. A. In a recent speaking engagement before the Southside Lions Club in Chesapeake, Va. Miss Shelton surprised her audience by turning her remarks to the eye donor program sponsored by Virginia Lions. Expressing her admiration of the state Lions members for their dedication to this program of sight restoration for the blind, Miss Shelton said that she would like to submit her signed donor pledge card, through the Lions, to the Old Dominion Eye Bank. Some ten percent of those who are blind can be given sight by the transplantation of the cornea, the lens-like “window” of the eyfe, from the eyes of a recently deceased persoji to the eyes of the blind individual. This very successful program is operated in this area with the complete financial' support of Lions Clubs. Lions members are also very active in soliciting eye-donor pledges,. inasmuch as the demand for human eye tissue for such operations is much greater than the available supply.

A third is to spearhead programs for the training of doctors and nurses to staff coronary'care units. , Behind these concepts is the most important life-saving development to emerge from the 1960s—a system whereby the heart’s electrical activity is constantly monitored by special equipment and staff, with an alarm system bring- l ing trained personnel within ] seconds if there is any change j in heart rhythm or rate above ■ or below a preset range. i This is coronary care serv- ( ice. It takes advantage of this i principle: Death from heart attack is not- hecdssarily the result of < heart muscle damage but instead may be due to a revers- ; ible electrical derangement of heart rhythm occuring as the ' result of relatively minor heart muscle injury. ’■ The usually-fatal crises inclu<^e ventricular fibrillation (heart moving Wildly), expe- 1 rienced by about 10 per cent ! of ' surviving heart attack : patients; ventricular tachycardia (extremely rapid and inefficient beating), about 25 per cent, and unexpected cardiac arrest (cessation of cir- , culatory functiqns), from 10 to 20 per penf. .... In coronary care units, these and other conditions are correctable. Moreover, through intravenous medications, it is often possible to forestall Suich crises when the first indications of danger present themselves. Unfortunately, coronary care service is of-value only to those who recognize the warning symptoms and who seek, medical assistance. Each minute that passes, following the. onset of,an attack, diminishes its potential value.

Crumpton, district, Manager for social security,in Winchester, said today. She then(went on to point out that there, afe two deductibles for which patient^:jare,, responsible. The first is the $60 payable to the hospital for in-patient care. This is about an average charge for one day’s services. U is also payable in each benefit . period. A benefit period begins .when an individual is admitted to a hospital. It ends when, the person has not been an in-p,atient in a hospital or extended cpre facility for at least 60 consecutive days. The secpnd deductible is the first $50 of medical expenses in each calendar year. The patient is responsible for the first $50 of his medical expenses each year. This is payable directly to the physician h^sed on the charges Mediate, allots fox the services the physician performs. Any part of the medical expenses a patient incurs in the last three months of a year which are creditable to the deductible for that year may also be used to meet the, deductible in the following year. In the fcast, Mrs. Crumpton said, too often people did not realize there are two deductibles under,/-Medicare. Many people came to social security offices wjien "they received notice that 'certain medical expenses had been credited toward the medical deductible. They felt that they jh%d already met the deductible by the payment they had made to ithe hospital. j 'For further clarification of [these deductibles, or any other Medicare matter, telephone the [local social security office at 667,JA1\.

NEW BOOKS First Families, by Nathaniel Burt-The Adamses, Biddles, du Ponts, Lees, and Roosevelts have from the beginning shown an uncanny ability to meet the challenges of American life. In marriage and business, in (and out) of public office, on the playing fields and on the fields of war, they have done more than survive-they have led and they have prospered. By revealing the lies that bind these five families Nathaniel Burt has made a convincing case for the existence-and the necessity-of an American “meritocracy.” Peter Mark Roget-The Word and The Man, by D. L. EmblenA1 though Roget’s Thesaurus oi English Words and Phrases has been known to millions since its original appearance in 1852, the creator of this unique literary tool has remained virtually anonymous.

In an era of dramatic confrontations that strike some surprising parallels with contemporary America, Roget tried to steer a cool middle course. Method and order were two of his abiding passions. Out of these lifetime interests grew his famous THESAURUS, which he did not actually begin until his seventy-first year, and subsequently edited through twenty editions. Every bit as fascinating as Roget’s professional life are intimate glimpses into his personal life. Finally the biography examines, for the first time, the organization of the THESAURUS itself, and its remarkable publication history through a dynasty of three generations of Roget editorship.

AH of the teachers at Rappahannock County Elementary School are participating in the Elementary In-Service Education Telecourse on Mental Health in the Classroom,” which runs from January 7th through February 25th and is composed of seven lessons. Mr. John Penney, a seventh grade teacher, leads the discussion which follows each telecast. Teachers at all grade levels have, at the request of Educational T. V. at Harrisonburg. Va., previewed and evaluated various T. V. programs being considered for use in the classroom next year. John Penney with Mtk Art blinds Quaintance discuss the educational TV on mental health in which they and other teachers at Rappahannock County Elementary School are participating. Utility - • (Continued from page 1) after. This fails to consider two major factors, the increase in value of that land through the passage of time and the future development possibilities of the land. The presence of a transmission line would keep the value of that land at the day after estimate while other property would recover and again start appreciating in value. Waiting for a possible condemnation proceding would mean more money to the owner of affected land rather than selling out to a first offer. Do surveyors trespass on private property to mark the route of such a line? Perhaps not intentionally. However, Potomac Edison, among other power utilities, has historically built transmission lines with indiscriminate disregard for constitutional rights of the individual and for the destructive impact upon the environment. Individuals who denied their permission to survey have had to go as far as court action to protect their property. Have property owners been told what the survey is for? No, not unless they were sufficiently interested, aware of the possible impact of a power line and knew that means exist* to prevent construction to ask specific questions. Potomac Edison has withheld information so as to make it difficult for any individual or group effort in defense of j Rappahannock property and environment. How was the route of the line selected? Since the shortest route between two points is a straight line, the line would deviate little from the straight path between Riverton and Boston. Federal Power Commission guidelines, environmental considerations, utilization of existing high-voltage! transmission corridors and! alternate route^have apparently ’ been ignored since Rappahannock j was not expected to resist such an l environmental assault. Economics of profit construction, maintenance and right-of-way costs take priority over any aesthetic or human considerations. What was done to avoid conflict with historical sites along the route? No consideration of historical sites was given since the route was established before Potomac Edison claimed to have asked the President of the Rappahannock Historical Society for a personal opinion as to possible conflict. The President of the Historical Society, (James F. Massie) has at no time been contacted by Potomac Edison. So, this raises serious questions about the accuracy, reliability and honesty of all other Potomac Edison statements. Could the line be put underground? Yes, but although power companies all over America are putting new transmission lines out of sight, underground, Potomac Edison does not find it economically possible in Rappahannock. The technology and equipment that will hide power lines of the future is presently available. Citizens can demand underground lines as the price for expansion. The price of forever viewing the traditional towers and bare right-of-way is far too high. Doesn’t Virginia Electric Power Company now sell power to Potomac Edison in this area? Yes, and at a cheaper rate than Potomac Edison charges VEPCO in another area. Furthermore, VEPCO will be able to provide an abundance of cheaper power to our area shortly from the new Louisa atomic facility and thereby make the proposed transmission line through Rappahannock completely unnecessary. * Would the line cause TV and radio interference? It is the experience of people who live near to a line or in a location where a power line is between their- home and a television transmitter that the TV signal is reduced often to where nothing can be done to get a good picture. Radios near a transmission line are affected by noise and loss of signal strength again with no hope of remedy short of moving. A short Sunday drive along Rt. 66 between Gainesville and Centreville will disprove the Potomac Edison contention, that reception will not be affected. Would the line have a “humming” noise? Possibly, although this consideration is normally found only in lines of a higher voltage. Potomac Edison could eliminate any “hum” in the line as proposed. Can Rappahannock be served in the future by presently existing lines? Yes, the low voltage distribution lines will be adequate to serve Rappahannock customers well into the future. Despite increased use of electricity, the proposed line would have no outlets in Rappahannock County. Would the line have an environmental impact on other than Ypf Faifh Iti H" ^-Ceeat, Director fc fiyin ,S 405 Sperryville Road Kflorc Endoriflff Christopher Geest; * Culpeper, Virginia AMBULANCE WITH OXYGEN Culpeper, Va. .

The brochures-“Tours in Virginia,” “Virginia Industrial Tours” and “Virginia Annual Events” are published annually by the State Chamber for national and international distributions, according to Jack R. Harter, the chamber’s director of travel development. The brochure “Tours in Virginia” lists 90 self-guided and conducted, auto and bus, boat and walking tours in 43 Virginia areas. “Virginia Industrial Tours” lists 108 tours in 47 Virginia communities while “Virginia Annual Events” lists 90 major events during the year 1971, he said. The tour brochure covers such items as a boat tour into the Dismal Swamp, the traditional historic shrines, scenic drives and unique attractions, Harter said. “For those who like to see behind the scenes of industry there is a wide choice from whiskey to men’s suits, from rocket and space research to ships, from meat packing to paper making and from textiles to soft drinks,” he pointed out. Colonial weekends, rac'es, festivals of all types and sports events for spectators as well as participants are among the listings in the events brochure. Free copies can be secured writing to: Virginia State Chamber of Commerce, 611 East Franklin Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219. ------ residents of Rappahannock County? Yes, nine of the scenic overlooks on the Skyline Drive in the Shenandoah National Park would view the ravaged right of way slash through the woodlands and the huge steel towers, assuming the towers would soon replace the promised wooden poles. As more people escape the ugliness of America’s city and suburban areas in search of unspoiled natural beauty, Rappahannock would become more of a mecca for tourists and travelers. An unnecessary high-voltage power line would destroy an important part of Rappahannock County’s greatest, value, indeed the world’s most important asset, our environment. Acreage Program to Balance Crop Supply And Demand Acreage set-aside provisions of the new farm legislation will serve national needs as well as benefit participants in the farm programs. By putting cropland into conservation uses, farmers will help prevent production of farm products beyond domestic use and export market needs while at the same time saving good cropland for future use when needed. So reports H. S. Barksdale, Chair-, man of the Rappahannock County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation (ASC) Committee. The U. S. Department of Agriculture has eliminated for 1971 the requirement that setaside acres must have produced a crop for harvest within one of the three preceding years. This requirement was changed because many producers have already made their farming plans for 1971 and in some cases have proceeded with land preparation, including fertilization, based on their familiarity with previous operation of farm programs. Nearly all producers have made credit arrangements, purchases of machinery, and other financial obligations based on prior program regulations regarding land set aside from production. Under these circumstances, enforcement of the new regulations for 1971 would have created an undue hardship on many U. S. producers., wmie me sei-asiae iana neea noi have been in crop production during the last three years, it is required that the acreage have a production potential equal to the average productivity of the farm. ASC county committees, he said, have the responsibility for seeing that this requirement is met by farmers participating in the wheat and feed grain programs for 1971. Many practices and uses approved for the set-aside acreage and the conserving base remain basically the same as in recent years. Eligible uses will continue to include grasses and legumes, green manure crops, small grain cover crops, summer fallow, wildlife practices, and other conservation practices. One major change in the uses approved for set-aside acreage permits the planting and grazing of sweet sorghums, except fer the five-month prohibited grazing period established by the ASC County Committee.

C. area will be in Rappahannock to pick up trash on the stream between Fletcher’s Mill and Rock Mills on Sunday, February 21. All interested groups and invididuals are encouraged wo help with this project. The CCA members will canoe this stretch and pick up as much trash in and along the stream banks as possible. They will deposit it at predetermined places along along the way where it will be hauled away. Additional people either in canoes or walking the river banks could aid in this worthy project. Mrs. Ronald Reese of Baltimore, spokesman for the group, says there should be around 25 association members. Hopefully there will be as many local people interested in cleaning up this stretch of the beautiful but abused stream. The Thornton has been recommended for inclusion in Virginia’s Scenic Rivers program. It deserves to be treated as such. The group will meet at Fletcher’s Mill about 10 a.m., Sunday the 21st of February unless the weather prohibits it. The 28th is the alternate date. For more information contact Irvin Kenyon 825-3853. producers were not allowed to use sweet sorghum planted on diverted acreage for grazing at any time of the year. In line with growing recognition .of the need for environmental improvement and pollution abatement, water storage facilities developed in the current year or fall of the preceding year, and filter strips seeded along a stream or ditch to prevent siltation may qualify under the new rules. Producers will still be required to properly maintain their setaside and conserving base acreages throughout the program year. Sign-up for the 1971 Drograms fo$ wheat and feed .grain begins March l and continues through April 9 at the County ASCS Office. Fanners who plan to participate must sign up during that period in order to receive program benefits. More than 400,000 ^people annually tour the subterranean chambers of Luray Caverns in Virginia. Some days visitors are registered from each of the 50 states. Why Plant Pine? “Why plant pine?” This is a question often asked by landowners when it is recommended that a piece of land be reforested. The reasons are quite simple. The demand for pine lumber for construction and pine pulpwood for paper is steadily increasing with our population growth. The land base on which we grow trees is steadily shrinking which means that we must more fully utilize the forest land that is available. For almost a decade, our annual cut of pine timber has been greater than the annual growth. An example of the demand for 1 pine is the production of pulpwood There are now eight pulp mills in the State of Virginia. The com-i bined 24 hour pulping capacity of i these mills totals 5,357 tons of j pulpwood. An example of this' daily capacity is a pulp mill which uses 1,500 cords of wood per day If 500 cords were deducted for hardwood and chips, 1,000 cords of round pine wood are needed per production day. This means that every minute around the clock and throughout the year, 7 tenths of a cord of round pine wood is needed and used by the mill During any one hour period 42 cords of wood are used. This wood amounts to the entire crop on one acre of 15 year old planted loblolly pine. A l1^ cord truck load of pulpwood, representing the annual growth on an acre of planted pine, would last 2 minutes at the mill. It was not so long ago that skeptics were predicting that we would shortly have so many pines that the market would be flooded. This has not occurred, and, fortunately, not everyone believed these predictions. Many individuals and forest industries have large reforestation programs underway, and these reforested lands will soon be providing timber for our use. Reforestation of idle and cutover land is essential if we are to provide for our future Umber needs. For information on tree planting and forest management assistance, contact Forester William C. Vernam, Virginia Division of Forestry, P. O. Box 111, Warrenton, Virginia, 22186, or Chief Forests Warden Clifton W. Jenkins, Sperryville, Virginia.

(correction: I started to read it and it was misplaced, the magazine) As I recall it, the caption read; YOUR GOD IS TOO WHITE. Now who could have written such an article? I suppose it was some nonwhite who thought the white establishment had given him a rough time, thereby alienating him from the white man’s God. Some time ago I read the opinion of a member of an ethnic group who postulated this thought ‘Christ was a black man,’ based on the Revelation of John where it states: “His hair was as wool, white as snow.” This writer says that no white man’s hair is like wool. Good logic? Now, let’s see; Christ was probably a brown man, an Arab. He was supposed to be an Aryan, according to tradition, a decen dant of the Atlanteans. What did his color matter, He was a Son of God. Is there any law that says a black man cannot become a Son of God? I don’t know of any. According to Holy Writ, arrogance could be a deterrent. White is a symbol of purity. But, what color is God? What color is love, the power that maintains order throughout the whole galaxy? Christ said that God is Spirit, does spirit have a color? He also said that we must worship him in spirit, the spirit of humility. Whatever color you want your God to be, worship Him in that color, but worship him.

Kenneth Robinson joined today in sponsoring a Congressional resolution proposing a constitutional amendment to counteract the Supreme Court decision against prayer in the schools. The proposed amendment would make plain that voluntary, nondenominational prayer was permissible in schools and other public buildings. To become effective, the amendment would have to be approved by a two-thirds vote in each House of Congress and by the legislatures of three-fourths of the states.

Phone 635-2101 Congressman made this comment: “Frankly, I do not think such an amendment should be necessary. As you know, however, the Supreme Court, which interprets the Constitution, has stated that it is unconstitutional for schools to open their day with as brief nondenominational prayer. The proposed amendment would not disturb the basic Constitutional principle of separation of Church and State. Jtt simply would add these words: ‘Nothing contained* in this Constitution shall abridge the right of persons lawfully assembled, in any public building which is supported in whole or in part through the expenditure o public funds, to participate in nondenominational prayer.’” Robinson is also among Congressional sponsors of a bill introduced to make it a federal crime to kill or assault a lawenforcement officer or firemen engaged in the performance of duty, if the offender travels in interstate commerce. “The public safety demands that all practicable protection by provided policemen and firemen in the discharge of their oftenhazardous duties, and those bent on doing them violence should be on notice that the full resources of the Federal Government, including the FBI, will be available to bring the culprits to justice,” the Seventh District Congressman commented.

Section 58-965 of the Code of Virginia expressly provides that: “The treasurer, after the fifth day of December, shall call upon each person chargeable with taxes and levies who has not paid the same prior to that time, or upon the agent, if any, of such person resident within the county or corporation for payment thereof; and upon failure or refusal of such person or agent to pay the same he shall proceed to collect them by distress or otherwise.” Notwithstanding the plain provisions of the law and the publicity heretofore given this matter, certain taxpayers still take the view that if they do not pay by December 5 of the tax assessment year, the accrual of the 5% penalty as of that date gives them some sort of right or excuse further to delay payment for five or six months, or some such time. The taxpayer who takes this erroneous view apparently feels that he ought to be allowed to recoup the greater part of the 5% penalty by retaining the use of his money until about the time the final delinquency date of June 30 is reached. There is no support whatever, in law or in reason, for such a point of view. The statute above quoted makes it the duty of the treasurer to proceed to collect the taxes and levies by distress or otherwise after December 5 if the taxpayer does not pay them on demand made by the treasurer at any time subsequent to December 5. The object of the 5% penalty is to encourage taxpayers to pay their taxes by December 5. If the accrual of the 5% penalty on a past due tax bill were allowed to operate as an “extension” of five or six months, or some such time, for the payment of the taxpayer’s past due taxes, thus enabling the taxpayer to recoup the greater part of the penalty by retaining the use of his money, it is evident that the object of the 5% penalty would be practically nullified.
