Increased taxes Slaughter cites leading assembly issues By D. FRENCH SLAUGHTER, JR. Budget, taxes, environment, consumer issues, governmental reorganization, and judicial reform appear to be the leading issues in the 1972 General Assembly during its first week in session. Governor Holton addressed the Legislature on its opening day and made a number of recommendations including proposals for increased taxes on individual and corporate income, gasoline and a form of a local option for an increase in the sales tax. The reaction of the General Assembly has been one of reservation about increased taxes. 1 would certainly hope that the increase in individual income taxes will be unnecessary, particularly in the lower brackets. At the present time I am doubtful that these increases are justified, although 1 would have to look at what the total appropriations whould be before making a definite decision. There is some tax reduction for taxpayers in the lower brackets which goes into effect for the income taxes to~be paid in 1973 (on 1972 income) as a result of the bill that 1 introduced in the 1971 session. This is known as the tax conformity bill because it will simplify preparation of state individual income tax returns by conforming most of the defin itions of income and deductions to those on the Federal return. The tax reduction produced by the tax conformity bill was a tax savings that Governor Holton referred to in his message, but part of this savings would be wiped out by his proposals. The needs for additional financial support by the state in education, mental healthL highways and environmental protection are obvious, but these needs have Ho be met without an unreasonable tax burden. Not all needs and demands can be . satisfied and the General Assembly must provide a budget that will take care of the most pres sing neeas, ana me determination of which projects and needs are the most important will be the subject of long controversy. However, it is obvious that it will not be possible to meet all of the requests for additional funds in all of the state’s activities. The highway fund, which is a special fund separate from the other funds of the state, will have to be increased if Virginia is to maintain a rate of highway construction for dual laning and construction of other roads that we need for accommodation of present day traffic, not to mention the future, and safety. This is true even though the Highway Department is not always right in its judgment, particularly on the location of new sections of highways on certain Panthers bow to Madison By ROGER FLINCHUM The Madison Mountaineers, ranked number one in the Skyline District, met the Rappahannock Panthers twice in succession this week, beating them 71-57 Friday and 81-58 on Tuesday. In the first game Cliff ^ Frye and Harry Jordan had 14 points each, while Lawrence Turner led the team with 15 points. In thesecond game Turner got 14 and Jordan 21 points toup his ten-game average to 14 points. Sophomore Jordan has been dominating the rebounders all over the district, taking a back seat to no one while averaging about 20 rebounds per game in one of Virginia’s toughest districts. The Panthers next game is. Friday night at Luray with the Luray Bulldogs. C County Fire Ass‘n The Rappahannock County Fire Association will hold its January meeting Friday night at Amissville fire hall at 7:30. routes. Highway progress is vital to all of our communities, and the proposed highway program which receives all of the gas tax including the proposed two cents a gallon increase (from seven cents to nine cents per gallon) will substantially affect all of the programs of work on highways in our communities. i Deneve tnat tne addition - al revenue is needed. Next week I will give a report on some of the other issues facing the 1972 General Assembly. □ Our changing weather The weather has been the most prominent subject of conversation in Rappahannock since the weekend, and the plumber has been the most wanted and needed businessman. ... » Temperatures dipped severely Saturday night following the exceptionally mild winter weather so far this season, and a bitter, keen wind accompanied the plummeting mercury. The introduction of extra fire for the needed warmth, instigated several fires, all of which proved to be minor. Firemen in various areas responded to several chimney fires and others which were quickly controlled. More water systems and autos were frozen or failed to start than could be remembered for a long time and plumbers and mechanics have been kept on the run. The official temperature recorded at Washington was 3 degrees below zero; however, reports of as much as 11 below were received at the newspaper office. Zero was recorded in the Amissville area by several persons, unofficially. As quickly as the cold snap appeared, it disappeared and by Tuesday it was almost shirt-sleeve weather again. □ 4

LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Barn contest begains STARTING THIS WEEK is a new feature which has proven to be highly popular in the News’s companion newspaper, the Piedmont Virginian. Let’s see if Rappahannock’s citizens are as good at spotting barns as they are in the Virginian’s Fauquier-Loudoun-Prince William territory. It goes like this: Each week, a photograph of a barn will be printed on the editorial page. If you can identify it, by location or owner or both, write us a card or letter. All answers received by noon each Tuesday will be thrown into a box and the winner drawn. The prize, we think, is a dandy — a subscription to t,he Rappahannock News. If - you already have a subscription, we will either add the gift subscription on to the one you have, or send a gift subscription in your name to the friend or relative you designate. Get in on the fun. Name the barn! □ Christmas Seal campaign lagging The annual statewide Christmas Seal Campaign being conducted by local tuberculosis and respiratory disease associations is behind in contributions from Virginia residents. The Campaign is now far short of money given at this time in 1970. According to Mrs. James C. Rea, Jr., president of the Virginia Tuberculosis and Respiratory Disease Association, money is gravely needed to support TB-RD programs.. She went on to say, “The respiratory disease problem in Virginia becomes more and more acute. TB-RD associations throughout the state have active programs to combat respiratory diseases, and without public support will find it difficult to continue this vital work. “Tuberculosis,” she said, “continues to be a very real problem in Virginia. The case rate (number of cases per 100,000 population) in the Commonwealth is 25.3, while the national case rate is 18.3. The fact that TB is still very much with us needs to be brought to the attention of our citizens in Virginia. “Virginia’s TB-RD associations are also conducting educational projects to create awareness of air pollution problems in the state. Hearings on the state’s implementation plans to meet new federal air quality standards were held this month. The Virginia Air Conservation Commission, a VTRDA-sponsored group, has worked closely with the State Air Pollution Control Board to help keep Virginians informed of the progress in combating air pollution in Virginia.” 3 W. Lawson Cowart, president of the Tuberculosis and Respiratory Disease Association of Northern Virginia, who resides in Hamilton, says “In order to reach the goal of $49,500 to carry on the program in this area we need: $450 mor^ in Clarke County, $374 more in Page County, $414 more in Fauquier County, $281 more in Rappahannock County, $585 more in Frederick County, $995 more in Shenandoah County, $1236 more in Loudoun County, and $304 more in Warren County. “It’s not too late to share in the effort to help provide good respiratory health to our citizens all year round.” Page 2 Barns: a series To initiate the barn identifying contest we have selected an easy one. This stately structure is located on a primary highway in Rappahannock County. This should be lead enough to bring a great response.

It is no problem for me to know who has and who has not purchased tags. The receipts are in triplicate form with one going to the owner; one to the dog warden and one staying in the county files. The fee for German Shepherds is $5 for males and $10 for females. If the dog is as much as a fourth German Shepherd the above fees apply. If you have a stray dog at your place and do not want to tag it, please call the dog warden and he will pick it up. Jack W. "Bruce, Dog Warden Rappahannock County LIBRARY LINES “The Peaceable Kingdom” by Jan De Hartog “tells the story of the Children of the Light — the Quakers — and their holy experiment. Here they are — many based on people who lived — generation after generation, founding a new faith, seeking freedom in the New World, achieving a unique peace with the Indians, subduing the wilderness, struggling with the agonizing issue of slavery, experiencing triumphs of faith and deeds and defeats by nature and human frailty.” “Tales from Shakespeare” by Charles and Mary Lamb, is illustrated and written in “prose style that suggests as far as possible the poetry of the original. Charles and Mary Lamb have retold twenty of the best-known Shakespearian comedies and tragedies. This introduction to the plays will give young readers a fore-taste of the deeper enjoyment that they will experience when they are older and can read the dramas as they were written.” □ Notice Trash pickup for the Town of Washington is scheduled for Saturday Jan- ^ uary 29, instead of the first Saturday in February. The schedule is changed for this month only. Please have your trash out for pick up. □

Rappahannock families buying better homes NEW YORK, Jan. 17 — With incomes such as they are locally, how much can the average Rappahannock County family prudently afford to spend for a home? How big a load may it take on in the form of monthly carrying costs without getting overburdened? The questions are pertinent at this time because many local families are in the market for new homes. They have been house hunting for a long time but have been unable to get what they wanted. The selection was small and the prices high. More recently, however, the situation has improved. Some guidelines on home buying for families in various income brackets come from the Federal Housing Administration, the American Bankers Association and others. In general, they say that the cost should not be much greater than twice the family’s annual income. Those with small incomes sometimes have to go as high as 2.5 times their earnings. On the other hand, those in the upper brackets may spend only 1.5 times their income to Obtain suitable homes. On that basis, Rappahannock County families whose incomes are close to the local average are in a position to buy more expensive housing than families in many other communities. That is because the local average is relatively high, amounting to approximately $6,250 gross per family, according to the latest figures. Applying the recommended rule of thumb, those in the area with average incomes could therefore FLINT HILL NEWS Mrs. Ada Grimsley returned to her home last Wednesday after being a surgical patient in Winchester Memorial Hospital.

When you analyze the hiker — his neat pack, European boots^tricky little stove and tasteless dehydrated foods — you might laugh, but when was the last time you - walked all day or enjoyed such a view? Local Rappahannock citizens may grumble about the weekend invasion on Old Rag Mountain, which lie? just two miles outside the county, but who can blame the visitors for wanting to try the favorite “ridge trail”? Climbing Old Rag mountain provides a pleasant outing By HARRISON O’CONNOR rvi *■ lWICE, NOW, I’ve gotten away with the impossible — a two-night hike through the Shenandoah National Forest without feeling 1 was a part of a march on Washington. Last year my wife and I climbed Old Rag Mountain near Sperryville, midweek in a winter snowstorm, and only ran into one other pair of hikers. We backed around each other in horrified politeness. Then on a recent weekend a friend and I frantically climbed the mountain on Friday evening, afiead of the Saturday invasion from Washington, D.C. Swinging back, down the Hughes River Valley Sunday, we had counted only 30 hikers, 15 of them in one cabin. Rappahannock Countians may wonder why Old Rag is becoming so popular among metropolitan Washington rock climbers and back packers. The mountain’s unique ridge trail attracts climbers festooned with orange and red packs, knobby boots loaded with mirfute paraphernalia like ducks to a baited creek. The trail is no trail at all but a ridge of enormous boulders, crevices, a small cave, and ledges that make following the Appalachian Trail Club’s blue-dotted line a delightful experience. But HIKERS also flock to Old Rag because it&tands aloof from the conveniences of the Skyline Drive. The Drive may thrill the casual tourist with panoramic views of Virginia, but the highway has rendered the long Charlottesville to Sperryville ridge a headache of cars and picnickers at the convenient “overlooks,” at least for someone trying to escape the automobile and car culture. And so, what might have been designated a wilderness area for hikers and horseback riders, and the skyline ridge, a long, second day objective, has become, instead, a highway - divided park. The distinction between park and wilderness area Vi, He knew even the upper reaches of the Hughes River might not be fit to drink, but after sipping from his canteen treated with halezone tablets which tasted “like the indoor pool at Bronx High School,” he plunged in. has become so obvious in this day of automated recreational equipment that who needs to point out that a park is just a sterile growth of trees, equipped with garbage cans —camps that resemble subdivisions — and if you’re lucky, an amphitheater, where a friendly, city-bred Thoreau, college professor, or Park Ranger can show nature slides. r- The modern-day hiker is like the golfer; each follows a pleasantly exhausting route. This artifice, when the hiker is supposedly wandering the wilds, creeps in, threatening the investor of European boots, intricate pack, and freezedried foods, with a feeling of fatalistic foolishness. But, if the wildlife has slipped away, the topography is there. After two or three days of climbing, sleeping uncovered but comfortable in a winter wind, and simply walking, the hiker rediscovers the obvious. STARTING above Nethers, a small town a few miles south of Sperryville, an Arkansan, Pratt Remell, and 1 hurriedly started for Old Rag. It was after three. The first part of Ridge Trail is a depressingly steep woods trail. Later, * the wild, bouldered ridge across to the summit is particularly pleasant after the woods climb, turn after turn when your pack is heaviest. Wanting to save the ridge for the following morning, we camped on a small knoll, partially protected from the winds which blew up Friday night. Zipped up in a down sleeping bag after a supper of “turkey tetrazzini,” cups of tea, and chocolate, with the wind howling from several directions, you lie there waiting to be cold. Now I look forward to cold weather, curious to see how much cold my sleeping bag can resist. Considering the wind, it was about 10 degrees. Water froze in the canteens. But you feel ridiculously fat and comfortable, like a goose. IjATE Friday night an old coon hound circled the knoll for an hour or more, trailing and howling around .■ the mountain, once coming close enough so that 1 could hear him panting. Pratt moaned in his sleep. The wind howled, the dog howled. Saturday was clear and warm. We crossed thefav orite rocky ridge. Already there were hikers coming up. But these were mostly day hikers who would rock climb, perhaps have lunch at the Byrd’s Nest shelter and then circle by the way of a saddle trail back to their cars by Weakley Hollow Fire Road. Around noon we left Byrd’s Nest Number One, went down the saddle trail ' to Old Rag Shelter, and then departed from the hikers by following Old Rag Fire Road around Robertson Mountain. We wouldn’t see anyone until that evening. The fire road is a long steady climb. Generally, the smaller the trail, the more interesting and thus less fatiguing the hike. The wide fire road was fatiguing, but was an opportunity to get into a rhythm, going directly away from Old Rag toward Skyline Drive. We took the Indian Run foot trail which showed no evidence of recent hikers, or Appalachian Trail Club activities, since the blazes on the trees had faded and many trees had fallen across the trail. The foot trail finally drops down to a restored mountain cabin a mile below the highway where about 15 Scouts from College Park, Md., were enjoying a college fraternity atmosphere. Corbin Cabin is at the headwaters of the Hughes River Valley. Across the narrow stream is another cabin, abandoned. It was late afternoon. I had spent an enjoyable night in the old cabin last year, and we were having beef stew in the old cabin in short order. An occasional flashlight beam from the Scouts lasted only until the cold had set in, then the Hughes River drowned them out. A YOUNG skunk joined us that night at least 15 times. We made the mistake of feeding him, forever imprinting in him that hikers bring food. Skunks are not slow animals. This one raced around the room, his feet padding close to our heads most of the night. Having seen that the limits of our gentle persuasion was a mere banging of a canteen when he wandered close, he foraged around without much further respect or interest in the two lumps of goose down, and licked the plates clean. The two-night loop ends with a very pleasant four and a half mile walk down the Hughes River where you can see old stone walls and sections of split rail fences where once there was a mountain community crammed up in the narrow river valley. A few old chimneys mark fallen cabins. We inspected one; the owner had been a great wall builder. In the rubble was the. top of a Jewel stove, part of an old Singer sewing machine, and old iron bedstead, perhaps a gift for some big mountain woman before the government bought up the park. But then, judging from 1 the narrow rocky valley and the size of the rocks in the walls, these people weren’t fat. □ The hiker isn’t coming out of King Tutt’s tomb. This is just one of many surprises when you follow the Appalachian Trail Club’s blue dotted line over Old Rag Mountain near Sperryville. Pratt Remmel, an Arkansawyer visiting the Blue Ridge, huddles behind a wind break Friday evening enjoying a cup of tea and a dish of dehydrated “turkey tetrazzini.” ! I Corbin cabin is oneSfthe few cabins to be restored from its mountain community days, before the “government men” moved in. Scout Troop 298 enjoyed a rowdy night by the noisy Hughes River.

WEBB Extension Agent, Home Economics Many of the recent models of automatic washers now offer a choice of agitation and spin speeds to wash the newer fabrics that need special care. The slow agitation is designed to handle anything, that because of fiber, fabric or construction, requires gentle care. According to Miss Janice Woodard, Extension Specialist in Home Management, “anything that requires gentle handling holds up better if it is agitated at a slow speed and spun at a slow speed.” For those who do not have machines that provide special treatment there are a few hints for hand washing. 1. Use water temperatures that are comfortable to your hands. 2. Dissolve soap or detergent before placing the garment into the water. 3. Carefully squeeze thfe suds through the garment. 4. Rinse garment two or three times in different water. 5. If hand washables are drip-dried, they will be more wrinkle free. Avoid wringing articles during washing and rinsing. Roll garments in a bath towel to absorb some of the water and then hang to drip-dry. Remember that no one method is right for all garments. To help insure that your garments will last and look nice, be sure to read and follow the instructions on the labels or hand tags. When buying material or ready made clothing, always be sure that you find out how the article is to be cared for and cleaned.

Va. Tel & Tel Plan to spend $14-million on equipment in 1972 Virginia Telephone & Telegraph Company will spend $14,400,000 for construction and continued equipment modernization during 1972 according to D.H. Reid, Vice President and Division Manager. Mr. Reid stated that this record amount for Virginia Telephone & Telegraph exceeds the previous record by $1,600,000, which was achieved in 1971. Mr. Reid said that over 1.3 million of the 14.4 million budget allocated by the Central aTelephone & Utilities Corporation board of directors will be spent in the Northern Virginia District. Reid said, “The budget is designed for use in two basic categories, the construction of new facilities to meet users’ service demands and the modernization of existing plant and equipment to provide continuously improved service for our subscribers, especially the service upgrade plan which is designed to reduce the number of parties on rural lines to a maximum of four parties or less.” Following is a partial list of the areas in the Northern Virginia District which will receive additional cable: Route 55 West; Fork area; and South Street in the immediate Front Royal area. In addition, the following areas will also receive supplemental cable facilities: /' Route 211 West; Stony Man area; Bixler Ferry areas in Luray — additional cable along Routes 688, 624 and 340 North in the Stanley area. The Washington ex Steeple climber arrested A 23-year-old Maryland man, who said he was the son of God, late Tuesday afternoon climbed on top of the weathervane on the Fauquier County Courthouse and shortly afterwards was induced by Fauquier County sheriff department’s deputies to descent. Upon reaching the ground, the defendant, Thomas Patrick Moore of Lexington Park, was arrested and later booked on a charge of damaging or destroying public property. He is lodged in Fauquier County jail in lieu of $250 bond. No trial date has been set. Moore, who admitted to previous drug use, told officers at the scene he was not “on” any drug at the moment. At the time he was taken in custody, he was wearing only one shoe; apparently having lost the other during his climb to the top of the building through an internal access ladder. Once on top, he apparently forced open a trap door in the cupola and then climbed another 10-15 feet to the pinnacle of the structure. He was first observed swinging from the arms of the weathervane and later shouted at the few passersby who gathered on the street below to watch. □ Your telephone most fantastic If it brea! ith just about the imaginable, x it...free.

The recently-announced change in sign-up dates for 1972 set-aside farm programs allows time for consideration of the first available data on producers’ plans for 1972, according to T.R. Taylor, local farm program official. “My understanding is that the U.S. Department of Agriculture wants to provide time for both farmers and farm program officials to study the special farmers planting intentions report which is due January 27. “So the sign-up period for the feed grain, wheat, and cotton set-aside programs will be February 3 through March 10 instead of January 17 through February 25 as was first announced,” he said. “Many farmers are asking if these sign-up dates mean program changes are in the offing" I don’t thiriK anybody yet knows. The planting intentions report will be carefully studied and evaluated. 1 suppose there is a possibility that unforseen factors will show up,” added Taylor, Chairman of the County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation (ASC) Committee. The special planting intentions report on January 27 will be the firkt indication on a national scale of what farmers are planning for 1972 in the light of 1971 crop marketings. In 1971, under a corn blight threat which didn’t materialize, farmers planted and harvested a record corn crop. Wheat and feed grain production wasn’t far behind and for farmers who had to sell at harvest, prices were too low. On the other hand, market competition for Charles E.

The 1972 set-aside program provisions announced by USDA are designed to help American agriculture cut back on the acreage planted to all crops and to encourage farmers to produce those crops which best fit their farming operations. The aid is to infarm income crease through the markets as well as protect farm income by making crop loans and setaside acreage payments available to program participants. § Participation in the setaside programs is voluntary, and February 3 through March 10 is the period when farmers sign up at ASCS county offices for participation. □ Advice given on Social Security Silence is often a virtue, but if you’re applying for social security benefits, that’s no time to conceal facts from the Social Security Administration. “It could cost you money,’’ according to Mrs, Hazel F. CrumptoTTr^social security district manager in Winchester, Va. The law requires social security personnel to keep all information about individual social security records confidential. “We’re only interested in seeing that you and members of your family get all social security benefits due you,” Mrs. Crumpton said. “If a worker is eligible for social security benefits, his dependents are generally eligible, too. But sometimes an applicant is reluctant to mention a common-law wife, illegitimate children, or retarded children,” she said. “Withholding information could deprive these dependents of regular monthly checks from social security,” she said. Social security generally follows State law in determining if a common-law wife or husband or illegitimate children are eligible for monthly benefits. “Dependents’ benefits can be particularly important for a retarded child,” Mrs. Crumpton said. “If the condition began before age 18, a severely retarded son or daughter can get monthly checks as long as he or she is too disabled to work.” “Further information about applying for benefits— and about social security and Medicare in general— is available at any social security office,” Mrs. Crumpton said. The Winchester social security office is at 20 S. Cameron St. The phone number is 667-15ir. □ OBITUARIES C.M. Burke Charlie Moore Burke of Culpeper died January 15 in Culpeper Memorial Hospital.
