LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Development cliches THERE ARE TWO OR THREE well-worn cliches that are trotted out around here everytime somebody starts talking about development, whether pro or con. One of them would have us believe that the more development there is, the more people that are brought in, the easier the tax and services burden is going to be. “Broadening the base” is the way it is usually stated, and it’s one of the most misleading of all the development cliches. Without dredging up agaiji the dreary and extensive documentation, we need only look at the report submitted just this week on Fairfax County’s public sewage fees. Surely there is a place where they’ve “broadened the base” to fantastic limits, and not only have real estate taxes skyrocketed, now there is a prospect of a 30 per cent rise during the next two years in sewerage fees. That doesn’t sound like easing the burden to us. ANOTHER CLICHE heard often when development is the subject of conversation (“conversation” seems too mild a word; “argument” is usually more accurate) boils down to one of the other participants in the discussion summing up: “Well, if we have to have development, it must be orderly.” Fauquier’s resident highway engineer is trying to get approval for a road plan which he feels will make allowance for orderly development of a specific section of the county. He has looked at existing subdivision plans with roads platted right up to property lines, and rightly concluded that somebody? is thinking of further development. If that’s the case, he continued — with admirable logic — then somebody had better start as’ suming responsibility for what will ultimately take place, starting with builders who are now operating. Why shouldn’t roads be sized for ultimate use, and the builders who are creating the problems required to pay for the oversizing. Builders, understandably, don’t see it that way; they want to be able to get away with the minimums and let tomorrow (and tomorrow’s builder or tomorrow’s taxpayer) take care of itself. “ORDERLY DEVELOPMENT”? It’s easier said than achieved. Somehow, we can’t forget the admonition of the British planning expert who told the visiting Fauquier-Loudoun officials: “Trend planning isn’t planning at all.” □ ■ Scouts take part in derby Amissville Troop 50, Boy Scouts of America, participated in the Klondike Derby held at theKOA a facility in Front Royal Saturday and Sunday.

Letters to the editor A responsive SCC is urged Editor: We share with you and your readers the following letter to both Senator George Aldhizer and Delegate French Slaughter urging them to appoint and approve new members of the State Corporation Commission who will have an interest and personal responsibility to the future of our environment as well as the historic and limited function of rate regulation: “The Virginia State Legislature this session will have the opportunity of approving new appointments to the State Corporation Commission. It is the only regulating authority over the electric utility industry, for example, whose decisions can have great negative impact on Virginia’s natural and real values. “We urge you to take a personal interest in these appointments, perhaps to nominate an individual yourself and assure that the new commissioners will be those to accept their HOMEMAKERS’ HINTS By KAY E.

Color can make the old look new and the inexpensive look elegant. It can provide accent to modest rooms. Color on the walls, in fabrics, in paintings or in throw pillows can disguise flaws. According to home furnishings specialist, Miss Katherine Habel, fabrics available in many price ranges, can be fitted into almost any budget. Besides in slipcovers, fabrics can be fashioned into a canopy for a child’s room or used for table cover, window trimming and accept pieces. Money can be saved by refinishing a second-hand piece of furniture. Often the greatest need is a deft touch with a refinishing technique or simply painting the piece to accent the room. IF PAINTING is not enough for the old piece of furniture that you have, you may investigate the use of antiquing kits.

Letters to the editor Why kill a river? An anti-dam argument Editor: A recent issue of the Virginian reprinted the reasons given by Prince William County on their view of the need for building the Salem Church Dam on the Rappahannock River at Fredericksburg for Prince William County’s water supply. This n&ed was expressed by the County Engineers, Wiley & Wilson. Like all Engineers they are looking for a big project to keep busy on. One of their representatives has been at nearly every Congressional hearing on the Salem Church dam in the last two years to explain why Fauquier and Culpeper and other counties on the Rappahannock should be flooded out for the benefit of Prince William County, which wants the flooding to be in somebody else’s land. The reasons urging the building of the dam state, “Prince William County has urged the (Army) Corps of Engineers to favorably consider the construction Quilting party Members of the Arts and Crafts Group that meets at Cab Inn in Sperryville every second and third Tuesday of the month are busy constructing qjCrazy Quilt. Authentic crazy quilts -from Victorian days show a gay haplmzardness of design, colorful variety of scrap bag pieces and lavish embroidery. Learn more about a Crazy Quilt by coming at 10 a.m. Tuesday, February 8, as the group begins to embroider their crazy squares. Bring a sandwich and join your neighbors ;.n a quilting party. □ We Can Supply All Your BUILDING NEEDS CULPEPER BUILDING & SUPPLY CORP. „„ Phone VA5-8383 -■ * Culpeper of the Salem Church reservoir (on The Rappahannock River) to supplement the water needs of Prince William County.” This “urging” the Army Corps of Engineers to build a big dam is like urging a starved hound-dog to have a big slice of roast beef. They have been drumming up reasons and jimmying figures for the past ten years in trying to get this pork-barrel project started. Now they have in desperation been up to Prince Willisim County trying to sweet-talk the people there to start agitating for water from the Rappahannock at Fredericksburg. This would require a pipeline 36 miles long, twice as far as one from the Potomac above Great Falls to Manassas, and a pump lift of 200 feet. These Big Project engineers seem to be blind to the potential water storage reservoirs in Prince William County. This county has just completed and filled a 500-acre lake on Broad Run. This dam could be raised to double capacity without the change of more than 1/2 mile of highway. It should also be noted that Bull Run runs along the boundry of Prince William County for a distance of 25 miles above Occoquan Lake, and the lake borders the County for a distance of 12 miles. Bull Run is only 2-1/2 miles from Manassas. In the vicinity of Manassas is a lake site where no road crosses or even touches Bull Run for a distance of six miles. Broad Run above Route 28 and on up to the new reservoir is a distance of four miles with a* lake site that is uninhabited. The Soil Conservation Corps maps show a total of over 50 storage lakes in the County, and considers Broad Run and Bull Run below Route 29-211 as too large a stream for their undertaking. The Engineers also state that Prince William needs the Rappahannock dam for recreation although the Rappahannock dam they propose would be only twelve (12) miles from the Potomac River. This, not to mention that Prince William County itself borders on the Potomac River for 24 miles. This being the case why do they need iftore recreational water on the Rappahannock 36 miles away? Prince William has the water if they want to use it from their own County. Naturally they would rather have it at taxpayers ex pense from a 100 million dollar dam on the Rappahannock 36 miles away. How nice to confiscate and flood out 35,000 acres of other counties, and cut down 8,000 acres of forests for a dam on somebody else’s land. The river they propose to flood out, with the help of the dam hungry Army Engineers and the promoters of the Fredericksburg area, is the only remaining, fast water, unpolluted, unruined river in Northern Virginia. The Department of the Interior, in its thorough study of the river from Remington to Fredericksburg, states that the river should be kept in its natural undammed state for its unique recreational quality with trails and parkways along its banks. It is one of Virginia’s top value scenic rivers. There is no need in the anywhere-near-future to destroy this river with a dam built by the greed of job-seeking Engineers and real estate promoters as long as local counties have ample water. Lets follow the Department of the In terior’s plan to preserve the river in its natural state. It can then be destroyed later on if it ever becomes necessary. Developed into a park the river will remain protected and beautiful forever. Flooded out by a dam it will be filled with mud in 80 years, and in the meantime it will be just another commercialized lake with ugly draw-down... a lake where a draw down of only 20 feet, from elevation 240 to 220 will expose 9,000 acres of mud around the sides. This is something the Engineers never mention. Randy Carter Warrenton HOURS MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAYS 9-5 BETTER MEN’S WEAR 220 & MAIN ST.

The three little roughnecks who burst into a restaurant one evening, grabbing handfuls of pickles and hors d‘oeuvres, as the amazed Ruritans and casually-alarmed personnel watched them disappear should have listened to a Tennesee teenager tell his story. A Ruritan group sponsored by Tennessee Ruritans had completely cleaned and renovated the shack of an old mountaineer in their area. THE VICIOUS GANG which gunned down two New York policemen Thursday night should have heard the inspiring commentary, that same night, of an evangelical missionary to the American Indians in Montana. New York is afraid — afraid to go out at night, afraid to allow bus drivers to give change, afraid of the knock on the door. On Friday, a woman who approached a newsstand and read aloud, “Two Cops Slain,” was admonished by the newsdealer to “Keep quiet; you’ll scare the people! ” THE HAIRY BUMS walking down Fifth Avenue protesting something — any thing — should have watched toe inspiring ceremony Friday morning as toe 31 state flags hosting Ruritan Clubs were presented — a prelude only to toe rousing applause to Old Glory. Rappahannock representatives from toe Amissville Club were toe president, Ted Settle, and H.R. Ter hune.

Additional funds available for REAP program Rappahannock farmers should be able to accomplish more soil and water conservation and carry out additional pollution prevention and abatement practices in 1972 than they did in 1971, according to T.R. Taylor, chairman of the County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee. The ASCS official said ' recent action by Secretary of Agriculture Earl L. Butz in announcing an additional $55-1/2 million for the 1972 Rural Environmental Assistance Program will re suit in an additional $1,062,000 for Virginia. This will make a total of 1972 REAP allocation for Virginia of $3,698,000, and should mean a total allocation to Rappahannock of $30,344. This compares with an allocation of $22,773 for the 1971 REAP. This additional allocation will enable us to help farmers do more to prevent or abate agriculturerelated pollution of water, land and air, and to conserve agricultural soil, water, woodland and wildlife resources.

Your best buddy Lenny might have told you to itemize your deductions becaiuse it would save you more tax dollars. Your neighbor possibly suggested taking the standard deduction because you’d pay less taxes that way. • And e rank down at the ottice ... he helps everybody with their return . . . what did Frank recommend? If there’s some way to save you money on your income tax, H & R Block will know how to do it. Itemized and standard deductions are nothing new. We’ve been T preparing returns for years *using both. We’ll figure out your situation both ways and then prepare your return using the method that’s best for you. You see, for only a few dollars more than it costs to do it yourself (with advice maybe from some other amateur), you can have your tax return prepared with complete confidentiality by a specially trained member of the H & R Block team. There are thousands of them in over 6,000 conveniently located offices. Each member of H & R Block is warm, friendly and anxious to help you. A visit to H & R Block usually takes just a short time. Once in our office, you sit down over a free cup of coffee and possibly learn things about your income tax that you never knew existed. Things that we know, because income tax returns are our only business. H & R Block’s fees start at $5 and the average cost was under $12.50 for over 7 million tamilies we served last year. Furthermore, if your return is audited we will accompany you, at no extra cost, to the Internal Revenue Service and explain how your return was prepared, even though we will not act as your legal representative. It means that H & R Block also offers you year round tax service tor just one low fee, with no extra charge for audits and estimates. Yes, it’s true. The standard deduction is up this year.

An October report from selected States showed a 400 percent increase in 1971 over 1970 in funds to be expended for pollution abatement practices, according to the Secretary of Agriculture. Taylor invited farmers to stop in ASCS county office to discuss their conservation problems. Each REAP practice ap proved by the ASC county committee must have related soil and water benefits so we can’t help with every problem on the farm.

Volume of state legislation begins to swell By DEL. D. FRENCH SLAUGHTER, JR. LEGISLATION has begun _• to be considered by the House of Delegates and the Senate as committees of each house are beginning to report bills after hearings and presentations of views on the bills that have been introduced earlier in the session.

Judge Rayner V. Snead of Rappahannock County is one of the members of the Commission. ONE OF THE most important proposals is to provide for full-time county judges and juvenile judges. This would be accomplished over a period of years and would not affect judges now holding office. I favor this proposal, and 1 am very hopeful that it will be adopted by the legislature. By far the greater number of civil and criminal cases are handled in our county and juvenile courts. Having full-time judges should provide for faster trial of cases and more efficiency. Another Commission proposal that is extremely important and worthwhile would be the requirement of trying criminal cases within 120 days of either a preliminary hearing in the county court or an indictment, both of which would occur shortly after the criminal charge is made. The prompt trial of criminal cases is indispensable to effective law enforcement. 1 would prefer to see the 120 day period be fixed at 90 days. ALSO, I FAVOR the creation of a Court of Criminal Appeals as a court of last resort for the appeal of criminal cases. Again, this would speed up the disposition of criminal cases and is preferable to the creation of-an intermediate appeals court between the circuit courts and the Virginia Supreme Court. The Commission made a number of other proposals, and since its report has been published for only a few weeks, it is uncertain as to what action the General Assembly will take; and most members may want to have more time to consider the report and to enact legislation in 1973. 1 do not object to this, but 1 would like to see action in this session on the points mentioned. Next week 1 will report on other issues before the 1972 General Assembly. □ Gran Torino 2-Door Hardtop And what else is? Not much, you’ll agree!
