Officers elected for the 71-72 year to serve the Amissville Homemakers Club were installed Monday evening during the December meeting which was the annual club Christmas party and buffet. Miss Kay Webb, Home Agent, left, presided at the installation ceremony and installs president, Mrs. Mary Priest; vice Fauquier Joins Rappahannock In Opposition to Power Line A group of Fauquier County citizens joined Sunday night with members of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection to oppose one more high-powered electric transmission line which is being proposed to run through Rappahannock as well as Fauquier, Warren, and Culpeper counties. Ti.f iew plans were revealed to more* than a hundred concerned landowners from both counties at a meeting called by RLEP President Philip Irwin at the Flint Hill Fire Hall. The new proposal is by the Virginia Electric Power Company which does not service any part of Rappahannock County. Their plans, which have been before governmental bodies of Fauquier County since last May, call for a 500 kv transmission line carried by 135-foot steel truss towers which would occupy a 235 foot right of way. The line would start at a 65-acre switching station at Morrisville in Fauquier County which would receive its power from the nuclear power plant now being built in Louisa County. It would then traverse southern Fauquier county, the edge of Culpeper county, then slice into Rappahannock County about a mile east of Amissville, go north across the Rappahannock River, into Fauquier County again, then into Warren County and would finally end up at Mount Storm, West Virginia where VEPCO is building a large coal powered generating plant Mr. Irwin informed the group that the RLEP was prepared to fight the construction of such a line just as it was challenging the proposal by the Potomac Edison Company of Virginia to build a 135 kv line from Riverton to Boston through another part of Rappahannock County. He announced ^Continued on Page 6) Adult 4-H Leaders Feted with Dinner A Multi-County leaders recognition banquet was held at the Culpeper Holiday Inn, November 30. 4-H adult volunteers from Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison, Rappahannock and Orange Counties were recognized for their support to the 4-H programs in their respective counties.

L' *•' 1 ■ y s Highway Engineer Urges County To Strengthen Sub-Division Ordinances Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors met Thursday for the final meeting of the year with Chairman Newbill Miller, Herbert Foster, L H Luttrell, Norman Wilbur and Mrs. Betty Coates present. Highway Resident Engineer James K Skeens, presented an operational and fiscal summary for 1970-71, which he stated exceeded the budget by about six thousand dollars. The budget of $116,000 was exceeded due to approaches to the new bridge on Route 620. However, the deficit will be absorbed by this year's budget. Mr. Skeens said that with luck and a 2-cent additional gas tax the arterial highway system may be finished by 1982. Completion date had originally been 1975. He also expounded on the necessity of strengthening the county sub-division ordinances and said he would be glad to meet with the county Planning Commission to study them. Using his experiences and those obvious in other counties, Mr. Skeens said the sections pertaining to streets should be strengthened. Many counties design their ordinances after state ones which are made to cover an entire state for minimum standards, and therefore do not cover explicit instances which re relative to individual sections. More restricted ordinances may well control development where the Highway Department is able to keep up. Developments add traffic to existing roads and improvements are based on traffic volumes, so the roads with heavy traffic from a development would take precedence over an older Candlelight Service A Christmas Candlelight Service is set for December 23 at the Amissville United Methodist Church beginning at 7:30 p.m. The public is invited.

While the fees of many other doctors, in pace with other rising living costs, have mounted for office visits to $5. to $10 in rural areas and even higher in cities, Dr. Snead’s remained so low that new patients from city areas could not believe it; more, I am told that patients in dire circumstances were not billed at all.

Panther Tales By Brenda Printz The week at RCHS started off with a bang as the basketball season got under way with a pep rally which was held Tuesday during sixth period. There was a skit by Freshman class and one by the cheerleaders about sportsmanship. Coach Ellis and Coach Hahn introduced the Panther teams and the cheerleaders led the students in some great cheers that really boosted the spirit around school. The pep rally ended with a shout of “Victory over the Bulldogs” from the assembly. The school’s athletic department is dependent upon the money made during basketball games. The community is urged to come out and support the school and the Panthers. Mrs. Yakim’s Sopomore English classes have been working hard on a very unique and interesting project. The students are working on a poetry section and were asked to complete a project with pictures and poems giving their feelings on loneliness. Some of the sophomore’s thoughts were: Loneliness is being unable to communicate with someone you are close to; Loneliness is getting old; Loneliness is freedom; Loneliness is another sort of love storv. It was a hard job to pick out some of the great ideas these kids had. Parents, don’t forget to notice your kids aren’t just kids, they are people with feeling. There have been bells ringing in the halls of RCHS this week and not for Christmas. A new fad has started here, bells on shoes. This past Saturday the Senior class was supposed to work at Big Devil Ski Lodge but as it happened only seven seniors turned out. To quote Mr. Flincham, our sponsor, “15% of the class and 50% of the sponsors showed up”. The Seven Wonders of the Senior class, Debbie Barron, Ella Harper, Patsy Payne, Judy Alther, Buck Payne, Gary Wayland and Brenda Printz, worked from 10 a m. until 4:30 p.m. earning money for the annual Senior trip. It would seem that those seniors who have no time to help make money for the trip won’t have time to make the trip itself. We will work again next Saturday and are looking forward to a larger percentage of Seniors out to help! The SCA is busy decorating for Christmas. Each homeroom is responsible for decorating their door. The doors will be judged so this should provide some good competition.

NEW BOOKS: The White Dawn by James Houston -- “Several brief extracts from a New England whaling ship’s log establish that, on a spring day in 1896, several men in a small boat are missing and presumed lost in the arctic • sea. After that prologue, the story opens upon tremendous excitement when three strangers, unlike any men the Eskimos have ever seen, are brought into the camp. The strangers, frozen, starved, and very near death, are nursed back to health through skills long known among the Eskimos. Avinga, narrator of this tale, relates the delighted curiosity of his people as the three strangers enter the life of the community, tells how communication is established, how the strikingly different personality of each of the newcomers emerges, and how each adapts to a new way of living. Gradually, the strangers are fully accepted . . . liaisons form . . . and a seemingly happy, vibrant existence evolves. But during the long, cruel arctic winter . . .mischief arises, followed by misunderstandings and distrust. Lust, greed, and pride become driving forces . . . The aftermath is violent, shocking, and disturbingly meaningful, and the conclusion intensely moving ...” The Book of Cacti and Other Succulents by Claude Chidamian - - “Succulents are the droughtresistant plants which store large quantities of water in their thick leaves or fleshy stems and branches. Modern gardeners are finding these specialized plants blend perfectly with contemporary architecture, need little care, and have striking beauty. In this lavishly conceived volume Claude Chidamian has detailed the full story of succulents: what they are, how they began developing fifty million years ago, and how they can be grown successfully indoors or out by home gardeners ...” Terrible Swift Sword by Bruce Catton - “The story of the Civil War as never told before -- of two turning points which changed the scope and meaning of the war . . how the war slowly but steadily got out of control . . . how the sweeping force of allout conflict changed the war’s purpose, turning it into a war for human freedom . . . This is a book of clashing action, reflective moments, lit by telling details and astonishing in scope. The reader sees the war both on its surface and underneath; in the terrible swift swords which caused rivers to run red, men and women to cry out; in the tension and cross pressures of the capital cities . . . moving from early episodes of the war in the west to the vicious battle at Antietam; from Farragut’s rush on New Orleans to an examination of the astonishing trade between enemies . ..

Are you looking for hay or corn to buy? Well give us a ring at the Extension Office 675-3619 and we will see what we can do to help. At the suggestion of several farmers, we will try running a local county clearing house, through the Extension Office, for corn and hay. It will work something like this. Lets say that you have 300 bales of 1st cutting mixed orchard grass and red clover hay of average quality for sale. You could call our office and give us this information along with your name, address and phone number. Or, for example, if you are looking for 50 barrels of corn and 200 bales of timothy hay, you could call and let us know. We will keep a clip board haning by the phone listing current buyers and sellers. Our job will be to place the buyer and seller in contact with each other and in no way will we become involved with the price. December is a good month to take soil samples; individually identify your cows and calves and start a simple record keeping system; prune orchards; control cattle lice - either spray on or pour on; fertilize pastures; and to place springing cows and heifers in a separate close by field. Social Security Notes “Doctor bills for October, November, and December may in some cases be counted toward the $50 annual deductible for both 1971 and 1972 under the “carry-over” provision of the medical insurance part of Medicare,” according to Mrs. Hazel F. Crumpton, social security district manager in Winchester. “The deductible is the first $50 of covered medical expenses accumulated in a calendar year,” she said. “Before any payment can be made by Medicare,” she added, “your record must show that you have met your deductible. So, as soon as your bills come to $50 attach them to a Request for Medicare Payment form, and send them to the carrier that handles your Medicare claims. In this part of Virginia, your request is sent to: Travelers Insurance Company, Box 10166, Richmond, Va., 23230.” “The ‘carry-over’ rule helps the beneficiary who might otherwise have to pay the $50 deductible twice in a short period of time - at the end of one year and at the beginning of the next year,” Mrs. Crumpton said. “Even if you have not met the $50 deductible before October,” she said, “be sure to send in all the bills for covered services you SALE OF VALUABLE PERSONAL PROPERTY The undersigned will offer the following personal property for sale at public auction to the highest bidders at the auction house of John Walker Jenkins, in Sperryville, Rappahannock County, Virginia on Saturday, December 18,1971 at 1:00 p.m. the following Personal Property: Lot of pictures Dresser Sofa and Chair Several iron beds Rocking chair Cedar chest Small tables Oak dresser Library table Crocks Dining room suite Sausage mill Lot of glassware Cooking utensils Bed Clothes Washing Machine Other items too numerous to mention.

Secrets and anticipations - whispers and giggles -• Christmas shopping can be a delightful time. Keep the Merry in Christmas by following these good shopping practices. 1. Do your shopping at reliable stores. Transient sellers and peddlers are not around after Christmas to listen to complaints. 2. Always take along a shopping list. Group items likely to be found in the same section and this will help save needless steps. 3. If in doubt, don’t buy. Don’t be rushed into buying by high pressure. 4. Buy with care, read labels, be sure of the correct size, color and other requirements. Keep your sales slip or receipts. 5. Don’t carry large sums of money when shopping in crowded areas. At all times, be certain your purse is tightly closed and in hand. Never put your handbag down on a counter when inspecting merchandise. 6. If possible shop during the week. There will be less confusion in the stores. 7. If you take your car with you, put your gifts in the trunk and lock your car. 8. Find out if there is a deadline for returning items you buy and if there are special rules for returning them. 9. It would be best to examine Christmas purchases before Christmas so that any claim for defect or damage may be made receive in October, November, or December. They can help meet the deductible for 1972.” The medical insurance part of Medicare pays 80 percent of the reasonable charges for covered expenses after the first $50. The program is funded by individual premiums that are matched by the Federal Government. The hospital insurance part of Medicare is financed by regular social security contributions. Medicare is administered by the Social Security Administration of the U. S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. Locally, the office address is 20 S. Cameron St. Their phone number is 667 1511. immediately rather than after Christmas. 10. If you do business by mail order, make sure you are dealing with a reliable company. Allow plenty of time for delivery; write very plainly; and include address and zip code. 11. If you should become a frustrated shopper during the Christmas Season try your hand at home made gifts. Holiday cookies, homemade preserves, handmade slippers, aprons, neckties, all make thoughtful gifts and can save you from having tired feet from a day of Christmas shopping.

SANTA WON’T1 High Sch. Students Given Drug Survey Motor vehicle drivers under the influence of drugs have become serious hazards on Virginia s highways, ranking high with alcohol and vehicle speed, John T Hanna, director of the Highway Safety Division of Virginia said today. Hanna announced results of a recently published survey, "Marihuana and Drug Use and Highway Safety, A Survey of High School Students in Virginia,” at a press conference this morning in Richmond. The conference was held jointly with F. John Kelly, Executive Director, Governor’s Council on Narcotics and Drug Abuse. "We believe this is one of the most comprehensive studies yet made in the United States with respect to drug usage and high way safety,” Hanna said “With the cooperation of the State Department of Education and high school principals throughout the state, 12,453 students were surveyed ' Significant findings of the survey were that 12 3 percent of the students had used marihuana and 7 7 percent had used one or more of LSD. heroin, amphetamines, barbiturates, and speed,’ Hanna continued It was found that 2 93 percent had ex perienced as passengers or drivers a motor vehicle crash in which marihuana or drug usage was thought to be a contribution factor “The survey data suggested that in the past three to five years some 5.000 marihuana and drug related traffic crashes involving high school age students as drivers or passengers have occurred in Virginia and that some 832 fatal crashes have involved use of marihuana and drugs Hanna said that "while only an estimated two to three percent of our alcohol related highway crashes resulted m fatalities, some 16 7 percent of the marihuana and drug related crashes in this study were fatal. Amazingly, the data suggested that, when treated with reasonable appropriate assumptions, the approximate 36 percent of (atal motor vehicle crashes involving 16 to 19-year-old drivers may involve marihuana or drug usage o <•? n & o ep I rp * ■•p » c? * a? o a> i/p«c> S mo key Says: ... amf .n : Christmas Wonderland of Gifts THE WHITE SHOP Open Every Night Beginning Friday, December 10 t to 9 P.M.

Bigger Payrolls in Local Areas According to a government tabulation, just released, the number of business firms in Rappahannock County is relatively large. There are more of them, it is shown, than in many communities of its size. * And they have been faring comparatively well, despite the depression, as evidenced by the humber of people they employ and by the size of the payrolls they carry. ; The figures, covering the past year, show a total of 67 business establishments, ranging from small to large, in operation in the local area. This exclusive of those that are owner-operated and have jio employees. J The findings are contained in a Study entitled “County Business Patterns,” prepared by the Census Bureau from data gathered by the Department of Health, Education And Welfare. Comparable figures are presented, for every county in the United States, on employment and payrolls for firms engaged in manufacturing, retail and wholesale trade, finance, services and the like. Of the 67 establishments in Rappahannock County that have one or more employees, a breakdown shows that 41 of them have from one to three on their payrolls, that 13 have from four to seven and 12 from eight to nineteen. Although firms of long standing make up the bulk of the local business community, each year sees some additional ones springing up as enterprising people, with an urge to be on their own, embark upon new ventures. Because of higher wage scales, the overall payroll of business establishments in the local area has been going up, reaching a total in the past year of $2,576,000. The figures take into account all persons gainfully employed in private, non-farm jobs that are covered by social security. Not included are members of the NOTICE ! ! NO 1 ICE! !

At this early stage, comparison of tht 1971 season with the final results of the season in 1970 is not possible; however, tht signs are promising with indicators such as the 50 birds harvested in Loudoun County last year and the 41 reported so far. In 1970, 13 birds wert taken in Charles City County as compared to 9 thus far for 1971. During 1970 in Rockingham County 18 birds were bagged. That total has already been exceeded by 8 for an incomplete tally of 26. Final result of the first season was a total harvest of 223 birds, only 8 of which bore bands. This indicated that the remainder of the birds had reproduced in the wild. 2 pheasants were checked in Rappahannock County, last year however there were none this year. Power Line(Continued from Page 1) that as a first step the League was prepared to give legal counsel to any landowner who wished to stop VEPCO from surveying his land, an initial step usually taken by the power companies before they fully reveal their plans. “If they ask to survey your land, say no and call RLEP”, he said. Mr. Irwin told the group thal the line if built would be one of the most heavily powered in the nation, 500,000 volts, and is not needed by VEPCO to service its customers. He pointed out that VEPCO already has a full circuit between Mount Storm and the South Anna plant and that this latest proposal would only serve to destroy the beauty of the environment and the monetary value of any land within sight or sound of the huge construction. At a recent hearing in Warrenton, the Fauquier County Planning Commission turnec down the VEPCO proposal for the line. The question is scheduled tc come up before the Fauquier Board of Supervisors today Meanwhile the Atomic Energy Commission, under the new authority given it under the Environmental Protection Acl passed by Congress last year, in a recent ruling ordered VEPCO nol to build any line coming from the South Anna plant for at least tec months pending a study by the agency to determine its en vironmental impact. Up to now, however, VEPCO has not an nounced any change in its plans New President at Madison Takes Over President Emeritus G.

The Panthers played a hard and good game, but not quite good enough to stop the Bulldogs, as they took both Jr. Varsity and Varsity games. The J. V. game was very close, and Rappahannock fought to the final second. They played excellent defense and offense but, due to the height advantage that Luray had, they won over Rappahannock with a score of 40 to 36. High scorer of the game was Eddie Williams of Rappahannock with 17 points.

In the opening minutes of the game the Panthers took the lead, but the Bulldogs were fast to catch up. The quarter scores were as follows: First: Rapp. - 12; Luray - 6. Second: Rapp. - 22; Luray - 26. Third: Rapp. - 22; Luray - 40. Fourth: Rapp. - 32; Luray - 56. Although the first game of the season ended in defeat, Rappahannock won’t give up hope. Luray left chanting “We’re No. 1”, but I heard a Rappahannock fan say “We may not be number one, but we try harder!” Mr. Ellis, coach of the Panther Team, says that the team is in a stage of rebuilding, and although the team has not been winning, this year might bring about a change. The Panthers’ next game will be at Strasburg on December 10, at 6:30 p.m. Let’s all go to the game and show the team we’re behind them 100%!

Every one of us uses an average of three gallons of oil every day. So do all the other 205 million Americans. Oil and natural gas supply 75 percent of our energy needs: almost all transportation, most of what is used for cooking and heating, more than 40 percent of all our electricity. A country that runs on oil can’t afford to run short.

TREES - - A Renewahle Resource vngima s private and industrial tree farmers proved once again that trees are a renewable resource by planting some 56.9 million of them in the Old Dominion during the 1971 planting season. This was the second highest number of tress planted for reforestation purposes in any one year in Virginia, the highest being last year’s 58.2 million ^seedlings. The actual number of trees planted was 56,882,810. This 1971 figure brings the total for Virginia s 55 year reforestation history up to more than 784 million seedlings. Total planted in Rappahannock was 46,300. Using an average of 750 seedlings per acre, the 56.9 million planted this year represents the reforestation of approximately 76,000 acres of idle agricultural or cutove^voodland. This acreage is boosted to a total of 80,797 with the inclusion of 4,797 acres which were reforested by direct seeding; that is, distribution of tree seeds over the land by hand, mechanical means, or by helicopter. Of the 56.9 million seedlings planted, 52.3 were loblolly pine. White pine accounted for 2.8 million of the total, followed by black locust with some 656 thousand, planted mostly by mining companies. Virginia pine made up 541 thousand. During the past year, farmers and other individual landowners planted 26,007,840 tree seedlings on their lands -roughly 46 percent of the total. Of that number, 9,109,575 were provided free or on a matching basis by forest industry, of which the pulp and paper companies gave nine million.

State, federal, and municipal or county agencies were responsible for planting 2,330,570 of the total688,020 in state forests, 233,700 by other state agencies, and 1,089,600 on federal lands. City and county governments, schools, civic clubs, and public organizations also planted 319,250. The Virginia Division of Forestry was responsible for growing and distributing 43,469,160 seedlings. All Division of Forestry trees were grown at the state nurseries in New Kent and Augusta counties. The Continental Can .Company nursery near Chester produced 10 million loblolly seedlings, and the remaining 3,343,450 were obtained from the North Carolina Forest Service (2.8), the Catawba Timber Company nursery in Tennessee, the Maryland Department of Forests and Parks, and private nurseries.

School The 54th State Police Basic Training School convened November 15 at Headquarters near Richmond with the distinction of being the first such ?roup to train while another school is still in progress, Colonel H. W. Burgess, the Department’s Superintendent, announced today. The School, consisting of 43 conditionally appointed troopers, will be conducted in the *ame facilities in which a class nf 57 matriculated July 26 and will graduate December 17. rhe new class will graduate \pril 14, 1972. The 21 weeks of instruction will call for both classroom and field training. Classes, ranging from an hour on the national and state traffic accident picture to 54 on the Motor Vehicle Code, will number 154 ind hours of instruction will total 902 Immediately upon employment, a conditional appointed trooper is assigned to a field station where he works with an experienced trooper in the roles rtf student and observer. He remains there until the next Basic Training School convenes but must have a minimum of such training. Colonel Burgess explained that the running of two schools at once cuts down on the time a man must spend in the field and will get him on the highway quicker and at less expense to the State. He said that the Department hopes to conduct five Basic Schools every two years instead of the present four. Dual classrooms make this operation possible, since every man in a class takes the same courses at the same time. He concluded in saying that some 60 trooper vacancies exist and that any young man interested in filling one of them can get all necessary information from any State Police office or any member of the Department.

That at some time the sudden condensation of all that vapor caused the deluge. Could be. It is the purpose of this SEZ to consider the Smaller Luminary. There have been many songs written about her, ‘the light of lovers.’ In a recent issue of my news paper I read this article, “A Soviet geophysicist says that the gravity of the moon causes the surface of the earth to rise and fall each day approximately fifteen inches.” Mama would plant her garden and Papa his fields by the moon. Both did well, Papa was considered to be a good farmer. I was discussing this with a wise old scholar. He said, “If the moon can effect the tides of the sea, certain cycles pecular to women, even the birth of babies, it is not unreasonable to assume that it would have some effect on plant life.” I’ve known about the tides for a long time, now the undulations of the land surface of the earth. I’ve seen planting demonstrated to my satisfaction. A gynecologist could confirm the birth and cycle bit, I don’t know. I do know that nature (GOD) working its will does have a pecular effect on our plant. Maybe some will say it has had its effect on me, lunatic? OK. But what is it The Book says about hiding things from the wise and revealing them to the simple? Whatever you believe in relation to earths satellite, go out some night and look at it; from the smallest crescent to complete fullness, and remember this, God made it and it is GOOD.

Hill of the Virginia Division of Motor Vehicles announced to* day that the Information Systems Administration within the Division is beginning the annual update of vehicle owners’ names and addresses. Commissioner Hill reminds Virginians that the 1972 renewal of vehicle license plates is, by present legislation, on an annual basis, to be accomplished between March 15 and April 15. To insure that each vehicle owner will receive his application for renewal in time to buy the 1972 plates, it is most important that the electronic data records at the Central Office in Richmond be updated beginning this week. If you have moved since receiving your current vehicle registration card, write the Division immediately as it is necessary for the DMV to start printing the 2.6 million renewal applications for 1972 license plates on December 1, 1971. Ire past years, of over two million renewal applications mailed each year, V\ million have had to he replaced just before license tag renewal time bv the Division. The main reason that these replacements have been necessary is that patrons do not notify DMV of adiress changes. At the present costs of First Class postage, mailing of replacement applications is quite ?xpensive. The Division is seeking to save the taxpayer the cost of a large replacement application program. The Division also seeks to avoid last minute delays which may inconvenience the vehicle owner in buying his 1972 license tars.
