Rappahannock News, March 18, 1971

c Gary Dwyer of Sperryville was among the students at Rappahannock County Elementary School who displayed art work during the exhibit last night following the Parent-Teachers meeting at the school. His collage was constructed from various colored beans. The exhibit was in observance of Art Month and all students were encouraged to exercise their creative abilities. ,» Trout Streams Stocked Before Season Opens April 3 With over a million catchable size trout to be stocked under combined state and federal programs during 1971 anglers can look forward to about 5 percent more fish on the average than were stocked a year ago, reports Game Commission Fish Division Chief Jack Hoffman. Over half, or some 534,950 trout are to be in the streams on opening day, April 3 when the season begins at 12 noon. An additional 320,050 trout are to be stocked in May followed by 139,100 during summer months. A fall stocking of 57,600 trout is planned if fish are available and water conditions permit. Trout fishermen are required to have a special $1 trout license in addition to their regular fishing license. Those fishing on National Forests must also have a National Forest stamp. Funds from both of these sources help finance the trout stocking program. An expanded 9 months stocking program has helped provide some trout fishing throughout most of this period. The use of more brown trout has resulted in some large fish from previous years showing up in the Smith, Dan, Jackson and Bullpasture Rivers and in Wolf and Big Cedar Creeds. There have been a number of requests from sportsmen’s groups in recent years for a year around trout season to do away with opening day crowds. When asked how such a program would affect trout stocking, Hoffman said, “we would probably stock fish in suitable streams during January and February, increasing the volume and frequency of stocking to a peak in late March and early April with stockings proceeding about as they do now for the remainder of the season. Some additional fish could be stocked in the fall,” he added. He indicated that summer stockings were about the maximum that water conditions would allow at the present time. “If stocking schedules were announced before hand crowds would follow the trucks,” he said, “and if attempts were made to stock in secret, local residents would have a marked advantage over persons from outlying areas.” School Chorus to Present Musicale The Rappahannock County High School Chorus is currently in rehearsal for a musical comedy to be presented on Tuesday, March 30 at 8 p.m. The musicale is entitled “The Belle of the West,” written by Charles George. TTiere are two acts in this 1900 period comedy about a lady barber who > '.ally “trims” the rough men of Roarin’ Creek. All members of the Chorus are participating either as stage crew or actors. The musical numbers are quite enchanting and some of the characters are unique. The performance will be open to the public. An admission will be charged to defray costs of the production and further the musical efforts of the Chorus. Church Notice Dr. James R. Bryant of Richmond will hold services at the Washington Baptist Church, Sunday, March 21 at 11 a.m. At this time altar vases will be dedicated in memory of the late Mrs. Buford Eubank. Faculty-Seniors Set Basketball Game Wed. The faculty and seniors of Rappahannock County High School will compete in a basketball game on Wednesday, March 24 in the school gym. Game time is 7 p.m. and admission is $1.00 per person. There will be two games. Receives Award LTC. John C. Adams was recently presented the Meritorious Service Medal for his performance of exceptionally meritorious service during the period 22 June 1968 to 20 December 1970 while serving as Chief of the Hospital Dental Clinic and Chief of Oral Surgery, U.SArmy Medical Center, Ryukyu Islands (Okinawa). The award was presented by the commander of Walson Army Hospital, Fort Dix, New Jersey. LTC. Adams is presently Chief, Department of Dentistry and Chief of Oral Surgery at Walson Army Hospital as well as Director of the Education Committee for Residency Training in the Dental Activity at Fort Dix. He is a native of Washington, Virginia and the son of Mrs. Matilda Walker of Washington who is a former teacher of Rappahannock County. Children’s Art Month Observed This is Children’s Art Month, so designated as a reminder of the important role art plays in the development of a child and to give the art work of children due recognition. A special program on Art in the Elementary School was given at a meeting of the Rapp. P.T.A. last night and it was well attended by parents and other interested citizens of the county. There was a large display of pictures done by students of every classroom and a display in the library of craft items made by students in Mrs. Cooke’s room. This year special art work has been done with Mrs. Cooke’s class by volunteers, Mrs. Emmy Allen, Mrs. Helen Kilby and Mrs. Peggy Pryde. It is not the responsibility of regular and volunteer teachers alone to provide for the art experiences of children; parents should be as careful to provide their child with the materials and time for creative expression as they are to provide for his physical development. Following are some tips for parents: 1. Supply materials such as paper, crayons and paints but teach the child not to waste and to use them properly, not to dip brushes from one color to another, but to wash out the brush first. 2. Let the child paint or draw or make something when he’s “in the mood,” that is when his idea is fresh and when he is already motivated by a desire. If you say, “Not now-later,” he may loose interest or be frustrated. 3. Put him at the kitchen table or on a linoleum floor where his messing won’t do any serious damage. Be patient with his minor spills, and always-always-insist that he pick up. put away and; clean up for himself. 4. Read labels and be sure art materials are safe. Some paints or dyes may be poisonous or harmful to the eyes, and some newer materials such as plastic dipping film are inflammable when near a fire. Keep a crawling baby away from anything he might put in his mouth or cut himself with. 5. Encourage the child to be original; discourage him from copying. Praise his original ideas, let him experiment with new or innovative ways of using his materials, and try to help him to develop his own ability rather than to imitate or compete. 6. Respect the picture or object the child has made and don’t throw it away without his permission. You can’t see into a child’s mind and know how deeply he may feel about something that is part of him. Discouragement and even serious resentments can be rooted in a parent’s thoughtless destruction of a child’s treasures. 7. Don’t buy “paint-bynumbers” pictures nor any other craft materials in kits if the same materials can be purchased separately. Of course a child may (Continued on Page 2) The single-lane bridge on Route 647 at the Rappahannock - Faucfhier County line is scheduled to be replaced and construction will begin soon. Approaches to the bridge on both skies will be widened and improved. The survey is completed and stakes designate the area for straightening the approaches. This is taken on the Fauquier side looking toward Rappahannock. ft Barksdale Continues Flint Hill VFD Head H. S.

County Committee May Rule On Farm Conserving Bases A producer whose farm conserving base is a limiting factor in operating his farm in line with good management practices may appeal for an adjustment of the base through the end of farm program signup, April 9. Three important provisions will be observed by the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation (ASCS) County committees in adjusting conserving bases for changes in farming operations, according to H. S. Barksdale, Chairman of the Rappahannock County ASC Committee. They are: -(-Downward adjustment of a conserving base will be made only upon a determination that farm operations have changed from conserving crops to nonconserving crops in recent years, or in the judgment of the County committee, such a change will be made this year. +Acreage removed from the conserving base will be limited to that determined to be suitable for continuous cropping. -(-Downward adjustment will trot “tag •made'1 w toccommodate a farm’s required set-aside acreage under the 1971 farm programs. Basically, the rules on conserving bases are being updated in line with modern farming operations. Today’s marketoriented farm policy requires that farmers have more freedom for decision-making about their farm operations. The set-aside farm programs of 1971 provide for this by getting away from the rigid crop limitations of previous programs. Although adjustments have been made over the years for tangible changes in farm operations, in some instances conserving bases still tended to keep producers locked into types of fanning operations that were no longer in'their best interest. Or they may have had to choose between staying out of farm programs or continuing an uneconomic farm operation. For instance, a dairy farmer with 500 acres was following the recommended grass-silage feeding program when his conserving base was established. So his conserving base was set on this basis. Since that time he has determined that grain silage would be the most efficient feed for his herd, and he has been growing corn. But he couldn’t participate in the feed grain program because he didn’t maintain his conserving base. Now his county ASC committee can adjust his farm’s conserving base in line with his actual farm operations, if the farmer asks for a downward adjustment. Mr. Barksdale emphasized that adjustment cannot be made to accommodate set-aside acres. “By thar; “W mean prcfloccri cannot be given an adjustment in their conserving base simply to make up for the land they must set aside in order to participate in the 1971 farm programs. The county committee will review the entire farm operation on the basis of intended cropping.” He also emphasized that conserving acreage which is recommended only for conserving uses, such as grass cover, must remain the conserving base. No authority is given for making an adjustment that will result in a conserving base of less than the i acreage recommended • The Dental Clinic at Rappahannock County Elementary School is in operation this spring with Dr. Willard Lutz in charge of corrections.

LETTERS to EDITOR Dear Editor: March is Children’s Art Month according to the Virginia Congress of Parents and Teachers. This is a significant step in the process of recognition by educators, parents and the general public that children’s art is meaningful, perhaps even deserving of a degree of merit and interest formerly given only to those strictly academic subjects - the 3 R’s. This is an audacious statement considering the fact that many people still consider art in the schools to be an unnecessary frill; as something to fill up time and to give teachers a break when they have no other important subject work to cover or as something that children do when it becomes necessary to produce a picture or object to take home to Mon and Dad on special occasions and holidays. However, recent educational studies have shown the relationships between the structured use of art media and techniques leading to increased visual awareness in children, and the development, not only of better art work, but also of significant gains in reading vocabulary and comprehension. In other words, Art can be used to enhance academic work! Art also enhances the person by increasing his awareness of the world of nature and man, by sharpening his observation skills, by developing his appreciation of art forms and artists, and by giving him many more means through which he can express his own unique personality. As a final point, we must recognize the fact that Art today is a big business - paintings by such famous artists as Rembrandt and Van Gogh are bringing unheard of prices in the world’s marketplaces. Even children’s art has its place in these marketplaces. How many people received and wondered at the beauty of Christmas cards (e.g. the unicef series) bearing works of art done by children? So let us honor Children’s Art Month in Rappahannock by applauding our children’s creative efforts and by encouraging them to live fully, and to express themselves freely through Art. Nan Perdue Madam Editor: Previous editions of the Rappahannock News have alluded to the numerous undesirable environmental effects of the proposed transmission line. Let us now consider specifics on cost. Potomac Edison has figured cost. Did they figure what it is costing us? Aside from the annoyance this power line would bring about to those living within its vicinity, consider the value depreciation to all property owners. The loss of value to property would extend way past the 100 foot swath under the towering wires.

The right of way applies merely to the land surface, that which lies on the surface and whatever is entailed in the right of ingress and egress. While the payment for the land surface rights involved may be equivalent to the land value, is the company willing to pay for the ravage beyond the 100 foot line? Certainly not. Were only the surface of the land involved perhaps I would get my moneys worth. But the effect of the line on radio and tv reception as well as the visual obstruction extend much beyond the 50 feet on each side. One must consider that the company is preparing to pay for a right of way for 50 feet on each side while the territory coming under the influence of hovering wires is not so confined. Neither is it so precise in its effect on the environment. The company proposes to pay for 50 feet on each side. Potomac Edison has written to me for the first time proposing what they would do to my property. The offer was turned down. For a penny and a half per square foot it just isn’t worth it. John Einarson Marina, California Dear Editor: At the outset, let me confess that I have an emotional reaction to the article in the Rappahannock News March 4 by Wesley P. Judkins, Virginia Tech professor of horticulture and Extension horticulturist, even though Mr. Judkins in the article warns about the “emotionalism of misguided individuals” who are questioning the wide-scale use of pesticides, fungicides and fast-acting artificial fertilizers in our present day agriculture. This kind of ploy has been widely used by the chemical industry to discount opposition to the proliferation of the use of chemicals in our soil, our air, our water, as if being emotional about the pollution of our environment is a foolish thing. If one cannot be emotional about this subject, which is turning out to be fundamental to our very existence, then what can one be emotional about? However, I will try to answer Mr. Judkins’ statements as best I, a poor “misguided, emotional” creature, can. First he says that “organic fertilizers such as manure and sewage sludge have relatively low analyses and are not available in sufficient quantities to maintain crop yields and feed our present population.” What this statement leaves out is that despite their relatively low analyses, organic matter when applied to the soil does something that chemical fertilizers cannot do. They activate biological processes, including that of worms, which work over a long period of time to gradually increase the fertility of the soil. Thus any organic matter that is applied will improve the soil over a period of years, whereas the quick shot-in-the-arm method of chemical fertilization only gives a boost to the current crop, requiring ever heavier and heavier applications year after year, eventually depleting the soil unless organic matter is added. As to the unavailability and expense of manure and sewage sludge, this is partly due to our whole system of waste disposal, which has resulted in dangerous pollution of VILLAGE SHOP Main St. - - Flint Hill, Va. Tiny Things for Easter Come See Friday & Saturday 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Paid Political Advertisement ANNOUNCEMENT I om pleased to announce my candidacy for SHERIFF of RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY, VIRGINIA, in the coming County elections. For five (5) years I served as Deputy Sheriff in this County and trust that I proved my desire to serve you and shall continue to do so to the best of my ability. Rappahannock^County has always been my home and I feel that most of the citizens are acquainted with me and know that my main objective will be to serve you in an attempt to keep law and order. Thank you. John Walker Jenkins our rivers and streams and lakes. How much better it would be for our food production if, instead, the garbage and sewage of our huge cities were processed and made available as natural fertilizers. Many cities and towns are doing this already, and much research is underway on the many methods of returning our waste products to the land. As to the mineral rock fertilizers, the organic gardener and farmer does make use of them. They have found that the natural rock fertilizers, such as phosphate rock and potash rock, when applied where deficient, have a more lasting benefit than the addtreated rock that make up the high-analyses fertilizers. I must also disagree with Mr. Judkins that “similar conclusions must be reached relative to the need of toxic chemicals in crop production.” I certainly agree with that the “specialized crops we cultivate for food are grown in concentrated plantings... making them more susceptible to attack by diseases and insections than mixtures of several species growing under natural conditions.” There, perhaps Mr. Judkins has put his finger on the very problem. He says it is for this reason we must turn more and more to the use of toxic pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Would it not be more logical to try to reverse this trend and encourage the growing of food production under more natural conditions? as Mr. Judkins says, some 01 these practices are already being followed, such as diversified rotation and cropping systems, green manure crops, recycling our sewage and manure to the land, large scale composting, biological insect controls, diseaseresistent varieties, diseaseresistant cultural practices, and many more now being researched. Unfortunately, this is being done too much on a small private scale and not enough by our government institutions like VPI. Then Mr. Judkins brings out that old bugaboo, trotted out over and over again in chemical industry propaganda, that “without the use of chemicals in agriculture, production would drop drastically and famine would soon claim millions of lives.” On the contrary, there are many who feel that if our agricultural methods are not drastically changed aiong with other pollution control measures in the next 25 years, we will all be destroyed by the destruction of oxygen in the air we breathe (by the deadly, continuing destruction of oxygenproducing sea plankton in part due to nitrates, some from the highanalysis nitrogen fertilizers so widely used). Further, when Mr. Judkins talks about the United States having the healthiest people in the world, he had better recheck his statistics. The U. S. has made tremendous strides in saving people from communicable diseases, but there is a strange new scourage ol cancer, birth defect, emphysema, muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, arterial sclerosis and numerous other degenerative diseases that are on the increase coincident with the increasing use of toxic chemicals in our agricultural production. Already research has shown the highly detrimental effects of DDT on certain bird species, and there are signs that DDT and other chlorinated hydrocarbons now have accumulated in our ecosystem to a dangerous level. At any rate, we need a great deal more research to learn the extent of the harm they are doing to our environment and to people. No, the situation, as Mr. Judkins says, is not that simple. But to suggest as he does that-mankind might be better served if our efforts were energetically directed to the elimination or control of poison ivy or poisonous mushrooms, he is really getting a little ridiculous. To solve the problem of the poisoning of our environment is certainly not simple, but it’s going to take a lot more than what sounds like chemical industry handouts delivered to the public through the hands of professors of land-grant institutions. It’s going to take research by these same institutions in many new fields or rather into new ways in the old fields, of chemistry, biology, ecology, to find new ways of growing our foods that takes into account the longterm health of the land and our people. Many farmers are experimenting on their own with quite good success. Let VPI encourage them, rather than pooh-pooh all who are trying. Certainly the old ways have not made farming a prosperous industry in America. The farmer has been the fijrst victim of greater and greater expenditures required in intensive agriculture, where both the land and the farmer are being pushed farther into an economic hole by the necessity of large cash outlays for chemical fertilizers and toxic pesticides. For instance, a local farmer told me he had to use weed killers because if he did not, the large amounts of nitrogen he felt he had to use to get big yields also produced so many weeds that he couldn’t stay ahead of them, by oldfashioned cultivating. Sounds 12£s£h. like a trap to me. But it’s a trap we’re all getting into, along with the farmer. And what has all this got to do with organic gardening. Mr Judkins? Unfortunately, your article implies that even organic gardening is foolish. I’m sure you didn’t mean to indicate that there was any harm in a few of us simple, emotional souls growing our own food quite successfully without the use of artificial fertilizers or poisonous sprays. In fact, Mr. Judkins, you might find that the organic gardening movement, which is now spreading across the country in a mighty enthusiastic wave, might be the forerunner of a new way for all of us. And how much nicer it would be if VPI would give us a little help instead of sounding like a spokesman for the chemical industries. Miriam S. Harris Washington, Va.

H. Gruenhagen, Virginia Tech professor and extension specialist in the University s chemicals, drugs and pesticides unit. ^ , “The need for a Poison Prevention Week would not exist if peopl® exercised care in the selection, use, and storage of those materials, Gruenhagen stated. ._,_ To those who use chemicals, drugs or pesticides, Gruenhagen suggested, “Read the label on each- container before each use and follow all precautions to the letter. . “Keep all potential poisons in the containers they were in at the time of purchase. Keep them where children and their pets, or any animals, cannot reach them. Preferably, all chemicals, drugs, and pesticides should be stored under lock and key in rodent-proof cabinets. They should be kept away from foods, feeds, seeds and any other material which could become contaminated, added Gruenhagen. He said further, “Empty containers should be disposed of as specified on the label.

Be on the watch in your own magazines for ideas for using throw-away materials such as plastic bottles, string, scraps of foil, straws, felt, spools, fancy papers, tin cans, used candles, etc.- (to mention only a few of thousands). Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and 4-H literature as well as most children’s magazines carry art and crafts Ideas. Also explore the possibilities of native materials such as Honeysuckle vines -(baskets); clay -(sculpture and ceramics); wood - (whittling and carving); pine cones, seed pods, pebbles, feathers, etc. 9. Broaden the child’s horizon by taking him to the library, to museums, to art shows and on interesting trips. Through all five senses a child perceives beauty, and listening to good music can evoke an emotional response in a child that may become a painting or a woodcarving or a poem. Bring beauty into the home in all sorts of commonplace things. Flowers, pets, colors in clothes, room decoration, table setting, even the food on a plate can all be beautiful and can all enrich a child’s life and sharpen his awareness, And a child with an avenue for full self expression is a healthier, happier and better adjusted child.

Estes Sheriff of Rappahannock County yOUKTfeOPEKIY IS ON THE LINE! Most farm acreage has become unbelievably valuable. It’s increased in value many times in recent years. That is unless you have granted too many easements to somebody else. Easements, like termites, eat away the value of your property. You rarely notice them until the property is destroyed and then it’s too late. What is an easement? An easement is a liberty, privilege or advantage which its owner enjoys in the land of another. It becomes the obligation of the landowner to respect and defend that right to the easement holder. Imagine having to forevermore respect and defend the rights of such an easement holder on your land. Imagine the privileges you have given away; the ability to construct anything to serve the easement holder’s desires and his ability to come on your property at any time to inspect, maintain, repair or rebuild. What would happen to your privacy, your peace o mind? You are no longer the ruler; you no longer own all the rights of your property. This may sound harsh but it is true, and you will continue to pay the full tax on this land under easement in which you now have only limited use. You will also have a loss in value to the property of yourself and your neighbors which may be regretted in the iuture, when for some reason you wish to sell the land. The value of your property which has been lost because of an easement can only be paid to you at the time you sign the agreement. There is no further claim possible against the easement holder except possibly for minor damage to crops or livestock resulting from faulty installation or repair *"f facility. Certainly almost no easement has ever benefited a landowner. Property owners should have no fear of waiting for possible condemnation court action, because the jury would be composed of men like himself who realize that they too could be the victim of condemnation. The awartTis normally for higher than the final offer of the party requesting the easement. * ^on t fall victim to the termites of property value Before granting an easement talk with your lawyer, a qualified real estate broker or a member of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection. It could save you big money in the long run. Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection Flint Hill, Va. 22627

It is amazing how some of the suffering people cling to the hope that they will get well and return to their homes and loved ones. I hope they make it, but ‘the sword outwears its sheath’ and the sheath of some seems to need replacing. I was talking with a nurse and she seemed to think it was against God’s will to keep life going by artificial means, when the soul is longing to be free. She told of an instance where she had a patient who had been on a respirator, or pulmotor, anyway the patient couldn’t breathe except by this means. Well, she took the patient’s pulse, or tried to, he didn’t have any, he was dead and still breathing; or the machine was still fulfilling its function. How long had he been dead? Who knows. Could this be classified a: cruelty to the human animal? According to some readers, euthanasia is not acceptable. Neither do they think it is the merciful thing to do, to prolong life by artificial means. I think a lot of us feel the way the poet felt who penned these lines. “Here have I lived, here let me die, I lay me down with a will. These be the words you ‘grave for me,‘Home is the hunter, home from the hill, And the sailor is home from the sea.’” Chorus to Perform The Young Peoples Chorus of the Hopewell Baptist Church, Sperryville, will present a Concert at the church, Sunday, March 28 at 3 p.m. The Northern Majestic Chorus of Northern Virginia will be the guest chorus.
