He told me he had chosen Rappahannock because it reminded him of his former home in the North of England. He’s right. And contrariwise, 1 was reminded of Rappahannock County often during the course of a visit last week to England, with members of the Boards of Supervisors of Fauquier and Loudoun Counties. Areas in the Peak District c. National Park — which covers some 542 square miles and includes parts of Derbyshire, Cheshire, Yorkshire (West Riding), Staffordshire, and a small area of Sheffield County Borough — were especially “familiar.” A ride over Mam Tor (Mother Mountain) provided an overlook of the Hope Valley that definitely brought to mind some of the vistas encountered in Rappahannock. The dry stone walls, the small cottages tucked away from the wind, the grazing sheep and cattle. The thought that 1 had never left home occured to me more than once. BUT ASIDE FROM THE SCENERY, there was much information brought out during the course of a busy week of workshops, seminars and field trips that is of special interest to Rappahannock countians concerned about how to accommodate growth pressures while re taining at the same time the s] beauty and heritage of the county. The English are getting bette better at this. While the British are the most densely populated area in Western Europe, you can travel for miles and miles across country that almost looks as if man never set foot on it, across more milefe and miles of farmland that make it appear that the industrial revolution never touched England, even though every schoolchild knows that that’s where the whole mess began. BRITISH PLANNING POLICY is much stronger and much more dogmatic than that fallowed in the United States, based as it is on a keen appreciation of the fact (Turn to page 12) ►

LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 England’s example “RAPPAHANNOCK OFFICIALS are the ones who should have gone on that trip,” someone said to us, in regard to the trip to England by Supervisors from Fauquier and Loudoun counties. “Rappahannock still has £ chance.” We’re inclined to agree. In Loudoun, especially, much of the damage of inadequately regulated urban sprawl — or “spillover,” as the English :a planners call it — has already been done. In Fauquier to some extent, and in Rappahannock to a great extent, this damage can be nipped in the bud.- Because Rappahannock is in such an advantageous position, it might well have been highly useful for the county’s officials to have had the benefit of a first-hand briefing on the British planning experience. TO NOTE THAT THERE are differences between the countries is to belabor the obvious, and just as obviously, not all of the legislative and legal trappings of British planting can be imported to this country. But something that struck the Fauquier and Loudoun officials so forcefully were the similarities, not the differences. The British have the same problems of automobile congestion, housing pressures, highway construction, powerline construction, air pollution, waste disposal — everything we’re worried about, too. THE BRITISH, HOWEVER, have taken strong steps to do something about these problems. If Rappahannock were in England, for instance, it would in all likelihood be designated as an area worthy for preservation, protection and enhancement — purely and simply because it is so breathtakingly beautiful. What a civilized approach to managing the landscape. Let’s all hope that the beautiful northern Piedmont of Virginia will find it possible to be equally civilized as all of us face up to the growing threat of “Megalopolis.” □ Bat^8 ^ Wr» co"=rotW*»- ‘L°Tn?*«s *eB es to tmstef • nning o®*® . cott®c^ *** Mrs* t resP°nS®, 0r ^ !

It makes no difference whe LIBRARY LINES Just acquired: Fourteen additional Bobbsey Twins books. Each book in this series is delightful reading for youngsters — Read one or all and enjoy the adventures of these famous children. In The Throne of Saturn, Allen Drury “probes the controversy surrounding the space program, the political turmoil of America today, and the constant struggle of brave, dedicated, and courageous men to keep the nation vigilant, strong, and free”. . .this is the story of “America's race to put the first man on the planet Mars.” The Walls Came Tumbling Down by Babs H. Deai is an “engaging suspense story. . .Seven women were involved, all good friends. But in a few anxious days, their friendships, as well as their own values and loyalties, were to be challenged as they had never been before. For when the walls of their old sorority house came tumbling down, a frightful secret was exposed. There among the rubble, lay the skeleton of a baby. And there, too, among a different kind of rubble, the lives of these seven threatened to come tumbling down.” □ ther they are beef, sheep or apple producers, or landscape or gardening enthusiasts — invariably the ones who participate can be rated near the top.

WEBB Extension Agent, Home Economics HOMEMAKERS are finding it easy to spend a lot of money on the new and improved cleaning products available on the market today. Did you ever stop to think about what the homemaker used before all of the new products were developed? By making use of three basic cleaners the homemaker could keep her home clean at a low cost. Baking soda, household ammonia and vinegar can reduce the need to buy speciality cleaners such as window and oven cleaners. Miss Woodward, Extension Specialist, Home Management, estimated that at the cost of about 2C for two tablespoons of soda for each quart of water you could clean wall tHe, porcelain enamel or glass. It can remove coffee stains from china and plastic dishes. When carefully used, it can clean and deodorize the inside of your refrigerator. Cost-wise, household ammonia costs less than 1C for a tablespoon in each quart of water. The amount needed for oven cleaning, about a half a cup, costs about four cents. Care must be taken when using household ammonia because it can burn the skin and eyes if not used properly. Read and follow the directions on the lat»ej. Vinegar, a mild cleaner, will help to remove hard water deposits from glassware, darkened aluminum pots and pans. It also makes a good window cleaner. The next time you happen to run out of your special cleaners, try some of these old basics and save some of Your household money. □ ginia, 10; D.C., 1; Newton D.

Others think they (j can save a few dollars doing it themselves—so why not. The sad truth is, however, no matter what their reason was for starting, many of them end the same. On the short end.

Mr. Harrison’s senior English classes have been working on a bulletin board in his room. The theme of it is “Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow” and anyone with an extra spare moment would enjoy looking at it. RCHS regrets losing Miss Eller, the music and art instructor, who is moving to bigger and better things.. .she is getting married. The choir presented her an engraved silver bowl. However, the presentation was cut short when Miss Eller discovered something in her eye! We welcome our new choir teacher, Miss Woods, and wish her the best as she undertakes new duties at RCHS. Mrs. Yakim is creating interest for her sophomore English students with previews of coming attractions; the sign says: “Who tried to be the first man to fly by pasting wings on his arms? (Hint—the answer is not the Wright Brothers). □ Heroin study backed REP. J. KENNETH ROBINSON has joined in Congressional sponsorship of legislation to mount an intensified research effort to find an antidote for heroin addiction. “Heroin is at the core of the drug problem, because it produces an addiction most difficult to bfeak, is destroying the potentials of thousands of young lives, and contributes heavily to rising crime rates as addicts are driven to daily robbery and theft to support the habit,” the 7th District Congressman commented in a statement. “It is essential that we marshal government and private research capability to seek a safe and effective cure and preventive of heroin addiction,” he said. BY TERMS OF THE BILL, which has bipartisan backing, the National Institute of Mental Health would be authorized to contract with qualified public or private research institutions and laboratories for studies of promising chemical agents, or other techniques, to counteract the physical an<f psychological effects of heroin, which is an opium derivative.

Budget hearings take the spotlight in Richmond By DEL. D. FRENCH SLAUGHTER, JR. BUDGET hearings take the spotlight this week in the General Assembly, and these will continue for several weeks. The budget bill will be one of the last items of legislation to be passed by the General Assembly and undoubtedly there will be much discussion and a number of changes in the final version of the budget. Several speeches have been made in the Legislature claiming that many millions of dollars can be sav«d or shifted from one activity to another. How ever, since the budget document consists of hundreds of pages and was only pres - ented to the General Assembly two weeks ago, none of these claims can be taken seriously until members of the Legislature have had more time to study and digest the larger appropriations items. Welfare expenditures are increased sharply under the proposed budget, and this is one area that must be examined carefully to see that savings can be made while at the same time providing assistance for those who are unable to care for themselves. We must make every effort to bring welfare expenditures under control and later on 1 will comment on this subject in greater detail. TRAFFIC safety is one of the most important matters of legislation and 1 shall support the proposal to reduce from 0.15% of 1% to 0.10% of 1% of alcoholic content in blood as a basis for presumption of driving under the influence of intoxicants. It also appears that the new “breatholater” device would be effective in the prosecution of drunk drivers.

R. Taylor, chairman of the Rappahannock County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee. Applications should cover only wool and unshorn lambs sold during the marketing year which ended December 31. Marketings after that date will be eligible for payments to be made in 1973. The County ASCS Office will provide information on the times that should be included with producers’ applications, and will give assistance as needed. Wool producers are eligible to receive payments regardless of the quantity sold in 1971. As with all ASCS programs, the wool program is administered without regard to race, color, creed, sex, religion or national origin of participants. The payment rate for 1971 marketings will be announced early in April following announcement of the national average price received and is expected to be well above last year’s rate which was 102.8 percent. □ drinking drivers involved in fatal accidents is very high, and it is obvious that we have not solved this critical and tragic problem. CONSUMER interest in the State Corporation Commission is very high, and there are two vacancies among the three members of the Commission and the remaining member has said that he will retire in 1973. The State Corporation Commission was created to protect the consumer, and one of its major functions is the regulation of public utility rates. It is the Commission’s duty under the law to fix these rates as low as possible consistent with providing good service and allowing a fair rate of return on the capital invested by the utilities’ stockholders. It is vitally important to get outstanding men of unquestionable integrity and ability on this Commission. Members of the Commission are electedby the General Assembly.

Panthers win a pair By ROGER FLINCHUM THE Rappahannock Panthers got their basketball game together - Tuesday night with both the JV and Varsity teams defeating their Strasburg opponents at Rappahannock. The JV’s won in a suspenseful double overtime game, 34-33, on a lastsecond shot by Eddie Williams. This game ran 20 minutes overtime and left the fans exhausted, shaking their heads and wondering how the varsity game could top this one. ' They soon found out it could be done when the varsity team had the floor. The Panthers were in tro uble soon as the Strasburg Rams rushed to a 20-7 first quarter lead and a 35-22 hilf-time lead. The Panthers came out a'ter the half and outscored the Rams 19-8 in the third quarter, cringing them up to a 43-41 dethem up to a 43-41 deficit at the end of the third quarter. Sophomore Harry Jordan, leading rebounder with 13, tapped a rebound in to put the Panthers aheid 50-49 with about one minute left. High Scorer Bobby Smoot pui: in his thirteenth point with a foul shot with 14 seconds remaining. The Rams missed their last shot and could not get it dr Feed the birds now frond hear them sing this spring’ See us for all your bird feed needs. MID-COUNTY FEED STORE. INC.

Wayside to increase its prices The Wage and Price Board has granted Wayside Foundation for the Arts permission to raise its prices for the 1972 Summer season. Due to a growing annual deficit, despite great increases in attendance, Wayside was forced to request the price increase. The granted rise in prices will allow Wayside Theatre to continue all of its operations. Evening tickets for Summer 1972 will be $3.75, with Saturday evenings at $4.50, and matinees at $3.25. Artistic Director Gerald Slavet stated that he had been fighting to keep the ticket price down, but without a substantial increase in donations it would have been impossible to operate the 1972 season. Anyone purchasing a subscription prior to January 1, 1972, will be given the seventh production as a bonus. Rappahannock in ungiana (From page 1..) that there is only so much land to be used on their tight little island. But, paradoxically, these controls aren’t necessarily all that offensive — even to Americans bred in a tradition of “rugged individualism” because it is based on such a sensible premise: Decisions for development are made on the basis of what is best for the overall good, not just on the basis of what is most desirable (or most profitable) for an individual. Over and over, the Supervisors from Fauquier and Loudoun were reminded of this bedrock foundation of British planning. In practice, it produces some results that startled the American visitors — e.'g., there is no “right to develop,” any. development is regarded as a privilege that is granted only as it relates to the good of the entire community. AND ONE OF THE MOST startling revelations of all was that in Great Britain there is no tax at all on land, especially agricultural land. Taxes are levied on the farmer’s house, but not on his land or his barns and outbuildings. The whole idea is to encourage farming, not only for the foodstuffs that are produced, but also because farming keeps the landscape beautiful. Professor Robert Stipes of the Institute of Government of die University of North Carolina, who acted as a consultant to the traveling Virginians, maintains that “Virginia towns and counties have essentially the same powers and opportunities as any English county has — the point is, we don’t have the willingness they have to make the machinery work.” IF RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY were transported to Great Britain, it is probable that it would be designated as a national park — so beautiful is the land and so valuable is it that this beauty be enhanced. But before any Rappahannock countian * rebels at the thought of his land being bought up, as in the case of American national parks, they should know that in Great Britain a national park is designated, not acquired. The farming land remains in private ownership, with t^e only stipulation being that it remain fann land. * y What a contrast to so many expediences in northern Virginia, where development and the consequent rising taxes have forced farmers off their land.

Phone VA5-8383 Culpeper County vets to get $4,000 BETWEEN now and the end of June a total of $4,000 approximately, will bedis tributed to some; 60 war veterans in Rappahannocl: County. The payment, representing dividends due diem under their G1 insurance policies, is being accelerated by the government. Normally, when such dividends are declared, they are paid on the anniversary dates of the policies and stretch out over an entire year. Under L.he speed-up this year, local veterans of World War 1 and World War II who are holders of such policies will share in a record distribution amounting to $286 million the Veterans Administration announces. It is $11 million more than was ever paid before. Most of the recipients are holders of National Service Life Insurance, issued to those who served in the second World War. The others who will share are veterans of the first World War who hold U.S. Government Life Insurance policies. THOSE WHO saw service solely in the Korean War or in other engagements will not participate in this distribution because of the type of insurance they hold. The 60 men and women in Rappahannock County who will be on the receiving end constitute about 25 percent of the World War veterans in the local area. The total, according to the latest VA tabulation, is 240. Just how much eaclLveteran will get depends upon the size and age of his policy and the kind of insurance he holds. The general average, for those who were in World War I, is $135 and, for the others, $68. The $4,000 that will be coming into the local area as a result will be that much of a boon to retail merchants. THE VA reports that the bigger dividelid payments this year are due to increased earnings realized by the $7.27 billion National Service Life Insurance trust fund and by the $862 million U.S. Govern ment Life Insurance trust fund. Of the $286 million being distributed, the great bulk, $265 million, will go to World War II veterans who outnumber the World War I group at the rate of 25 to 1. □ Service News Joseph L.

Crumpton, social security district manager in Winchester. “If you employ a household worker covered by social security, you’re required to send a wage report and social security contributions to the Internal Revenue Service by January 31,” Mrs. Crumpton said. The wage report and the social security contributions are for the last quarter of 1971. “You’re required to report,” she said, “if you pay a household worker $50 or more in cash wages in any 3-month quarter — January - March, AprilJune, July-September, or October - December. You must send in a report of wages, along with the social security contribution, within one month after the end of the quarter.” Homemakers may file the report on a form available at any Internal Revenue Service office — “Employer’s Quarterly Tax Return for Household Employees (for Social Security).” Information on the return includes the employer’s name and address; the household employe’s name and social security number; and dates the employe worked in the home; the wages paid that are subject to social security contributions; and the amount of social security contributions enclosed for both the employer and the employe. The employe contribution is 5.2 percent of earnings. The employer pays a matching contribution of 5.2 percent. “Some household employers prefer to pay the full 10.4 percent CARD OF THANKS I wish to express my appreciation to everyone, with many of whom I am not acquainted, who came to my assistance in a crisis recently when my husband was missing. These good neighbors and friends formed a group, combed the area and located him. Thanks are extended to all for the kindness shown me at his death and in the following days. Sincerely, Mrs. J. Casey contribution themselves rather than taking out deductions, and this is acceptable, too,” Mrs. Crumpton said. “The quarterly contributions insure the household worker of social security protection,” she said. “That can meanmore than monthly checks and Medicare benefits after the worker retires. Social se-^ curity can also pay monthly cash benefits to an eligible worker and family in case the worker becomes disabled or dies prematurely.” Homemaker - employers can get more information about quarterly wage reports and contributions at the Winchester social security office, 20 S. Cameron St., telephone 667-1511. “Ask for a free copy of the leaflet, ‘Social Security and Your Household Employee’,” Mrs. Crumpton said. □ Fire and Rescue group has meet The regular meeting of the Rappahannock County Fire and Rescue Association was held at Amiss - ville Firehall on Friday January 21. There were 18 people in attendance, representing the six fire departments of the county. Plans were discussed in regard to the annual fire school which is held each fall. Braxton James of Amissville was elected to be director of the school for the coming year. The next meeting will be held at Flint Hill Firehall on February 18, at 7:30 p.m. □ r 1 I .

Fairfax Community College adds a placement office The College Board and President of Lord Fairfax Community College have announced the opening of the College’s Placement Office under the direction of S. Timothy Grey, Placement Officer and Counselor. Grey comes . to Lord Fairfax from Anniston, Ala., where he served as an officer in the United States Army Chemical Corps and worked as a juvenile probation officer. He has a Master of Science degree in Guidance from Jacksonville State University and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Social Studies and Education from Presbyterian College. His home originally was Florence, S. Car. He and his wife have an infant son and they reside in Front Royal. The Placement Office offers a variety of services to the students of Lord Fairfax and all employers in the region the College serves. The Placement Office affords the opportunity for prospective graduates and employers to get together on a personal basis to discuss potential employment. Lord Fairfax Community College offers a full placement program. While no graduate is guaranteed a job through the Placement Office, every effort is made through counseling, train ing, and the other services . of the College and placement program to prepare the graduate to be in an advantageous position in today’s highly competitive job market. In addition to providing employment contacts for students, other services offered by the Placement Office include career counseling, career and placement literature, interview preparation, alumni placement, and part-time job placement when available. Employers throughout the area are urged to contact the Lord Fairfax Commun- . ity College Placement Office if they are seeking part-time or full-time em ployes. Potential employers come not only from the region served by Lord Fairfax Community College, but from throughout the state of Virginia. The Placement Office therefore is able to provide opportunities to the graduate to discuss employment with business, industry, and government agencies that he might not otherwise be able to contact. The Placement Office maintains resume files on each student using the services of the office. Use of placement services is voluntary on the part of students. There are no fees involved in using the Place State feeder calf sales were best ever Virginia’s 1971 feeder calf sales wei e up in price and numbers. The 40,540 calves sold through the 38 producer-sponsered sales were the largest nuihoer ever offered for the Virginia marketing program. The sales are conducted by the individual macJtets. The Virginia Tech Extension Division cooperates in an advisory or educational capacity. Discussing prices received for the cattle, K. C. Williamson, an Extension specialist in cattle marketing and a professor of animal science, reported that all the steer calves ^moved through the 1971 " sales averaged $38.90 a hundred pounds. That is about $3 over the 1970 average and the highest price received since i»oi wnen steer calves averaged $39.50 a hundredweight. Heifer calves were also about $3 higher than in the fall of 1970. Their $32.30 average was not even close to the 1951 average of $39.22 for heifers. Williamson reported most cattlemen agreed that the abundant supply of food throughout the nation was the greatest contributing factor for boosting prices beyond those of 1970. According to the Extension specialist, the sole unexpected factor of the sales results was the weight of the calves. “Steer calves averaged 465 pounds and were 10 pounds less than thoseof the 1970 sales. Heifer calves averaged 425 pounds and were nine pounds lignter tnan tnose oi the previous year. “The weights this fall were the lightest since 1965 when steer calves averaged 461 pounds each and heifer calves 428 pounds. The only explanation for the lighter weights seemed to be the unusual amount of rainfall throughout most of the state during the summer. Pastures were exceptionally lush, but not ideal for milk production and its weight gain on the calves,” Williamson asserted. “Weight influenced the price per pound as buyers attempted to hold their costs per head to a minimum. Steer calves weighing under 400 pounds averaged above $40 a hundred-weight. Heavy calves were still the most desirable kind to be selling, Selective service changes The Selective Service System has released a list of proposed changes in their regulations which will affect young men facing the draft process in the future. The changes - which were first proposed to the public for review in early November and now are amended after further study - concern procedures for personal appearances and appeals, among other major subjects. The proposed changes, scheduled for publication today in the Federal Register, are expected to become effective throughout the more than 4,000 local draft boards in mid-February. Until they become effective, Selective Service will continue its moratorium policy on all personal appearances and appeal board actions. One of the major changes proposed today guarantees the registrant’s right to request an appeal following an adverse decision at t his personal appearance with his local board. The % revisions published today set a 15-day time limit in which a registrant must request a personal appearance or an appeal, but they permit the local board to grant an extension of this period when a registrant demonstrates that his failure to respond within the 15-day limit was due to reasons beyond his control. The policy proposal that a local board give a registrant at least 15 days notice of a pending personal appearance with the board, the state appeal board, or the Presidential appeal board, also was retained. Commenting on the 15day time limit, Draft Director Curtis W. Tarr said: “Although we have shortened the time limit for personal appearance and appeal requests from a rigid non-extendable 30 days to a flexible 15 days, we also have added the requirement that local boards give registrants at least 15 days notice of pending appearances or actions. Thus, no local board or appeal board will be taking action in less time than has been required under the old regulations. Then, as now, at least 30 days will pass before any action will take place following the mailing of the Notice of Classification card to the registrant. The changes put into effect on December 10 included the phasing out of all new undergraduate student deferments, an increase in the time given registrants who receive induction orders (from 10 to 30 days), the establishment of classification 1-H as a new administrative holding category, and a major revision of the procedures and guidelines of the alternate service program for 1-0 conscientious objectors. □ however, since tnose steer calves weighing over 500 pounds grossed better than $200 a head. Williamson continued, “The fall yearling salesin Virginia exceed all previous years in numbers and price. The 28,795 head of cattle sdld in 31 sales averaged $32.88 and included both steers and heifers. That is the highest price since the graded sale program for yearling feeder cattle was originated in Virginia in 1954. Williamson reported a new procedure instigated during the past fall by the Dublin, Virginia Feeder Cattle Organization. The cattle were graded on the farm, grouped into trailer load lots and left on the farm. The selected cattle were listed on the sale order and sold at auction during the yearling sale. The seller delivered the cattle to the livestock market for weighing on the date and time selected by the buyer within 10 days- after the sale. Of the seven loads totalling 284 head sold under the new procedure, Williamson said, “Prices were comparable to those for similar yearlings selling through the auction ring. The method provides an opportunity for increased efficiency of the marketing process with a consequent reduction in shrink and stress on the cattle.” SPECIAL THROUGH SATURDAY * 10 OR MORE SHEETS LAUAN PANELING! 4~X8" SHEETS $2.99 LESS THAN 10 SHEETS 3-49 EACH GILLIAM LUMBER CO. 515 COMMERCE AVE FRONT ROYAL 635 2101 ment Office services.
