Rappahannock News, February 10, 1972

Vepco opposed RLEP calls proposed line 'completely unnecessary Rappahannock’s League for Environmental Protection (RLEP) has announced “total opposition” to a Virginia Electric and Power Company proposal to construct a 500 thousand volt transmission line through northeastern Rappahannock County. Vepco has stated its intention to survey immediately for a right-of-way nearly 13 miles long from east of Amissville to east of Chtester Gap. It would be part of a 111-mile line connecting a Mt. Storm, W.Va., generator to a new switching center at Mor risville in Fauquier County, then to the new North Anna nuclear generator in Louisa County. RLEP’s Vepco project committee — composed of lawyers Anthony Lapham, George Davis, Robert Lagather, Jim Bill Fletcher, John Lyle and power engineering consultant Joseph Morgan — has already studied the project. They term it “a completely unnecessary and intolerable threat to our natural environment, property values and tax base. Vepco - has a loop of right-of-ways and 500 kv transmission lines between the points they wish to connect already in service. “This loop meets all reliability criteria and any additional circuits required should be added to these existing rights-of-way which are already devalued rather than creating an unnecessary and damaging third transmission corridor.” RLEP FIRST announced its opposition in a statement before the Fauquier Board of Supervisors on January 13. President Phil Irwin asked that Board to A 'few’ boys just drop in IT ALL BEGAN with a phone call from Alexandria. “Hey, mom, okay if 1 bring a few boys home for the weekend to go skiing?” This querry was put to his mother by Bill Snead, a student at Episcopal High School. With an affirmative reply, Bill and his friends packed up and headed for the wide open spaces of Rappahannock. They arrived — all 20 of them — late Saturday afternoon (they attend school on Saturday) in a small bus provided by the father of one of the boys. Though a little dazed at the extent of their son’s “few friends,” Judge and Mrs. R. V. Snead rallied to the occasion. Mother Lois laid in some extra supplies before the stores closed and the youngsters had purchased and packed some food items, including a huge roast of beef, ' numerous cartons of instant mashed potatoes and French fries. BY BEDTIME Sa turday night the basement recreation room of the Snead’s large stone house was transformed into a dormitory which housed 16 tired boys in sleeping bags and bedrolls. Skis, poles and boots filled every niche which did not otherwise contain clothing or gear. With school on Saturday, Episcopal students have Sunday and Monday as their weekend, so they spent these two days with the Sneads and at Big Devil Ski Area, which they declared as they departed had provided “excellent” skiing on the man-made snow. AS THE YOUNG MEN headed toward the bus for the trip back to school, Bill suggested to his parents that they should do this again sometime soon. Emphatically, his mother replied: “This is definitely a once-a-year thing! □ deny Vepco this line since a responsible right-of-way was already in existence. He explained that “RLEP’s interest is to as sure that necessary transmission of energy be accomplished in the most efficient manner possible and (See page 13) One could keep very busy with 20 “growing boys” to cook for, and so she did, declared Mrs. R.V. Snead, most of Sunday. A hurried call to her minister that morning informed him that he would have to get someone to teach her Sunday School class, for she had been cooking breakfast since 7 o’clock and wasn’t finished yet! Relief came Monday though, in the form of Catherine Carter, who helps Mrs. Snead regularly but was just recovering from flu. Catherine is preparing a quiet Monday supper for the Sneads after the exciting two days. Bill holds the carton which had contained the eggs 20 boys can consume for breakfast. Board hears pleas about river, trash disposal THE AGENDA for the February meeting of Rappahannock County’s Board of Supervisors was lean when the group convened Thursday. Absent with the flu was Herbert Foster of Flint Hill, the representative of Wakefield District. Supervisors Coates, Latham, Wood and Miller responded to the roll call. The initial business concerned livestock claims to be paid from the dog tag fund, one of which could not be authenticated by Dog Warden Jack Bruce. This concerned two heifers which the owner believed died as the result of being pursued by running dogs. However, there was no evidence of attack by an animal. This request was denied, while a claim for 15 fowl was honored since sufficient evidence indicated this action was legal. RANDY CARTER of Warrenton, advocating the preservation of the Rappahannock River in its nat ural state, spoke to the legislators about the proposed development of the scenic waterway as camping grounds and public parks, with trails along the river’s edge. This idea coincides with plans of the Department of Interior which were endorsed by Fauquier County’s governing body. Carter’s thinking is opposed to that of the Corps of Engineers, who are advocating the Salem Church Dam near Fredericksburg, which supposedly would flood 14,000 acres of Culpeper County and numerous acres in Fauquier. Carter said that the Town Council of Culpeper as well as the Supervisors of that County have also gone on record. as opposing the dam. One fear, he said, is that the tax structure could suffer by losing revenue from the land. Carter pleaded with the local group to remain neutral if it could not endorse the Interior’s plan. The Rappahannock Board had been neutral prior to election of new members in November and the official feeling remained as such. MRS. DOROTHY DAVIS, Mayor of the Town of Washington and a member of Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection appeared before the Board to request a Spring CleanUp Campaign tor the county to coincide* with that (See page 14)

LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Vepco’s shyness THAT A NUMBER of citizens of Rappahannock County have serious reservations about powerline proposals should be no surprise to officials of Virginia Electric & Power Company. If they have kept abreast of powerline news in this area, they should certainly be aware of long efforts by Rappahannock citizens against plans by Potomac Edision to cut cruel powerline swaths across some of the most beautiful parts of our beautiful county. And if Vepco officials were paying attention at recent hearings in Fauquier County — whose citizens are less than enchanted with powerline plans — then they heard several strong and clear expressions from Rappahannock citizens about their proposals. KNOWING THIS, THEN, why did Vepco ask for a cozy .little semi-private meeting with county officials and select others to talk about what they see as their “needs”? If they have nothing to hide and if their arguments are as compelling as they say they are, then why don’t they march right up to a full and open meeting and present their plans for all to see and examine, and then subject themselves to questioning? „ Is it possible that their arguments aren’t really that convincing? Are we to conclude that Vepco doesn’t really think it can convince a majority of Rappahannock’s citizens, that they must seek approval by other means? PLEASE, LET’S HAVE all discussion about this project in as open and public a forum as can be managed. The stakes are far too important to Rappahannock’s present and future for us to have it otherwise. □ A practical man? A YOUNG DOCTOR visited over the weekend, and we understand he might be interested in establishing his practice in Rappahannock County. We hope so. $e understand he was also scheduled to look into the possibility of locating in Vermont. Sounds like a practical young man; a doctor who hung out his shingle near a ski slope — whether in Rappahannock or Vermont — might look forward to some extra business during the winter months, at least. □ Barns The barn pictured last week was an easy one — it belongs to Levi Atkins and is located on Route 211 west of Amissville. A great number of responses came in and from the entries the name of J.B. Willis of Sperryville was drawn. He will receive a year’s subscription to the Rappahannock News. The many others who correctly identified the structure are listed in a separate item. Several incorrect answers were also received and one arrived too late. All answers to the contest must be received by the Rappahannock News, Box 38, Washington, Va. 22747 by noon Tuesday. No phone calls will be accepted, and only one reply from a household may be made, that of an adult. Now, here’s another one. Letters to the editor Opponent of dam is refuted Editor; Your issue of February 3, 1972 carried a one page letter (p.3) from a prolific demagogue. I do not intend to answer his statement seriatim nor do 1 intend to get into any newspaper hassle with him. However, in the interest of advising your readers of the nature of his rapier, 1 write this one letter. He uses some quotes about Prince William County, i.e., the county “has urged” the Army Engineers to favorably consider the construction of Salem Church reservoir, etc., and then uses some barbs at the Corps of Engineers. Randy Carter well knew that the report by the Engineers to the U.S. Congress was sent forward in compliance with a resolution by the Committee of Public Works, L'.S. Senate, adopted June 30, 1955. He also well knew that Prince William County had, by letter from its Board of Supervisors dated March 27, 1965, stated its intent and ability to participate in the equitable share of the costs allocated to Water Supply. The Engineers’ report also showed an estimated requirement by Prince William County for 55million gallons per day by the year 2020. Mr. Carter also well knew that his own Fauquier County’s Water and Sanitation Authority had, by letter from its chairman, Mr. Jason Page, Jr., asked the Engineers “if at all possible” to allocate 14 million gallons per day to be used by Fauquier County from Salem Dam. 1 am sure Mr. Carter also knew of the stated requirements of other counties and municipalities included in the report to the Senate. And above all he knew that Congress had approved the project a few years ago. He also jabs his rapier at the engineering firm of Wiley & Wilson. That firm, as far as 1 can find out. is a reputable firm. Mr. Carter was told in no uncertain terms at a meeting of the Governor's Advisory Committee on the Rappahannock River Basin a few years ago that if he or anyone else knew of any dishonesty on the part of any public servant he should run as fast as he could to the nearest U.S. District attorney or corresponding State attorney and present his facts. In my opinion that is a “must” action by anyone who is a real citizen. But now 1 come to Mr. Carter’s “punch” paragraph, his last paragraph, which is typical. He says, in part: “Flooded out by a dam it will be filled with mud in 80 years.” No documentation, no references, not an estimate, but categorically “will be * filled with mud.” At a public hearing in Fredericksburg held by the Norfolk District Engineer, Mr. Fine of that staff gave a summary of his study on the subject. There are many imponderables in the approximate solution. His estimate, after extensive research on both Kerr and Philpott Dams, and on much data from similar reservoirs, concluded that the 282,000 acre feet below elevation 202 will probably be filled in about 470 years. 1 would be interested in Mr. Carter’s documentation, if any. Mr. Fine is “Fellow” (highest grade) of the American Society of Civil Engineers and a past president of the Virginia Section of the A.S.C.E. and a lifelong engineer, well versed in hydrology. Again, let’s look at the last seven words of Mr. Carter’s letter: “This is something the Engineers £ never mention.” 1 ask the Editor to read Par. 99 on page 43 of Senate Document No. 37’, of the 90th Congress, 1st Session, regarding “drawdown.” If you have the time and are interested to know about the project as ap1 proved by Congress, (in 1968, 1 think) 1 suggest you read the document referred to above, particularly the letters on pages IX through XXIV at the front of the report, and also letters on pages 73-100 at (Turn to page 3)

T H E L I T T L c F' 0 X ll&+» " Land use study Slaughter's hill calls for reports next year By DEL. D. FRENCH SLAUGHTER, JR. THE GENERAL Assembly has begun to pass numerous bills during the fifth full week of the 1972 session. The most important legislation passed by the General Assembly is almost always a result of study commission proposals (legislative study commissions that meet periodically between sessions of the legislature) and proposals by the Governor. Land use and the extent to which there should be state legislation and local ordinances in this field is a question of tremendous importance to nearly every section of the state, but particularly to those threatened by the suburban or urban sprawl and those concerned about quality of the natural environment. 1 have introduced a resolution to create a land Save a scenic river Editor: Last September 1 took part in a two-day 30-mile canoe trip on the Rappahannock. This trip was done with 30 ordinary metal canoes and 60 paddlersof all. ages and abilities. The well-known white-water section is just a traction of the navigable water available from Remington to Fredericksburg. All of those 30 miles appeared unspoiled. The forested banks looked like wilderness, and the most obvious sign of man was the lowing cf cattle. 1 spotted conside rable wildlife, including jumping fish, ducks, blue herons, painted turtles, muskrats and deer. The river is ever-changing. There arc many islands and narrow channels whicli provide the challenge of discovering the best rcute. But often the river is serene, broad, and quite majestic. Perhaps the most striking feature is the quality of the water — it is clean and odorless, and the number of swimming holes is fantastic. More people need to discover this river wilderness, miraculously preserved at the edge of megalopolis. It is a haven for those seekingnon-rnotorized recreation. The Department of Inferior has already recognized the remarkable beauty of the free-flowing Rappahannock. Certainly the Rappahannock deserves to be preserved as an official scenic river, before it too falls to the mercy of Man the Engineer. Janice W. Albright Washington Apple Butter Week planned The Virginia Jaycees will launch their fourth anOpponent (From page 2) the end of the report, and also Document No. 97, 87th Congress, 2nd Session. As 1 stated in my first paragraph, 1 do not intend to enter into a letter-writing " contest. 1 will meet Mr. Carter at the hearing^ before the U.S. and State legislative bodies and before other public meetings to which 1 am invited. □ Daniel Noce nual mental health-mental retardation project — Apple Butter Week in Virginia — on Sunday, February 20, to continue through the 27th. The Rappahannock Jaycee Chapter will join in this project, selling apple butter door-to-door in the county. Proceeds from sales will be spent in part on Camp Virginia Jaycees, a summer camp for mentally retarded children of Virginia. In addition, it will help finance local programs for the mentally retarded. □ use study commission to report on desirable legislation for the 1973 and 1974 legislative sessions The commission would be compos 3d of six delegates, three senators, and five per sons appointed by the Governor. THE PROTECTION of the natural environment, pres ervation of prime agricultural land, and the rights of owners of property would be considered in this study. Tie effect of land use and the enactment of laws influencing or controlling the changing character of communities and population settlement patterns are also anong the questions involved in this broad study. Many other questions would be considered, such as the use and location of large tracts of land for major public and public utilities facilities, open space areas, areas of great scenic and historic value, recreational areas and indus - trial sites. In general, the commission would consider the most appropriate policies for the state and local governments in fulfilling their proper responsibilities in governing land use and encouraging the most beneficial use of land. THIS STUDY is an effort to give the people a voice in determining the character of .heir own communities and at the same time provide due consideration for the rights of land owners. If this can be accomplished it would be very significant in preserving our communities as desirable places to live and work. The proposed land use study would deal with many of the questions that will also be considered and studied by the recently formed Southern Growth Policies Board, which is an advisory ' body for the Southern States, ctnd of which 1 am a member by appointment of the Speaker VILLAGE SHOP Main St. - Flint Hill Rings-n-Things Open Tuesday-Saturday 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. HOURS: 11-6 Tue - Sat of the House oi Delegates. ALTHOUGH most of the bills passed thus far have been non-controversial, some of the bills are of general? interest, such as raising the registration fees for motorists who do not carry insurance and a bill increasing the speed limit on interstate and di vided four-lane highways from 65 to 70 miles per hour. The last three weeks of> the session will see action on more controversial legislation. Next week 1 will have a further legislative report on significant actions of the 1972 General Assembly.

Si Sez A FRIEND OF mine told me a few days ago that he thought we were right on the verge of a religious revolution. Or was it a rebellion? There seems very little distinction between the two. Since then, 1 have been pondering his statement. What is there to rebel about in one’s religious beliefs? Mine are about as unorthodox as they come, yet 1 maintain that it is my right to believe as God gives me belief to believe in. There was a time when the church had so much power it ran the government according to its own dictates. That time is past, we can now worship God in any manner we choose. Whittier in his “Eternal Goodness” says: “But still my human hands are weak “To hold your iron creeds: “The Lord is God! He needeth not “The poor device of man.” He also says that man cannot fix with any known boundaries the love and power of God. Maybe we should revise some of our ways of thinking along religious lines, but rebellions usually destroy. BACK IN the horse and buggy days we had such expressions as: “Put your shoulder to the wheel.” “Lean into it.” Or maybe, “Carry your own weight.” Most of the time we would get things done with just our own efforts. It is surprising at the power we poor humans can use when we know how and try hard enough. 1 think the following lines are by Millay. — You say the little efforts that 1 make Will do no good: they never will prevail To tip the hovering scale Where Justice hangs in balance. 1 don’t think 1 ever thought they would. But 1 am prejudiced beyond debate In favor of my right to choose which side Shall feel the stubborn ounces of my weight.” SO, IF you feel like rebelling, rebel against the negative and accent the positive. If you must throw your weight around, put it into an effort to promote God’s Kingdom. — J.B.P.

The reminder came from Mrs. Hazel F. Crumpton, social security district manager in Winchester. ‘ If a student beneficiary leaves school or starts attending on a part-time basis, he needs to notify social security immediately,” Mrs. Crumpton said. “Either of these changes in his status as a student will stop his monthly benefits if he is 18 or over.” “A student’s total yearly earnings from part-time or temporary jobs as well as self-employment canal-0 so affect his benefits,” she said. “Any student in the area who knows his earnings for this year will exceed $1,680 should report this to social security,” Mrs. Crumpton said. “Otherwise, he might receive payments which would have to be made up later.” Social security benefits a?'e reduced by $1 for eve:'y $2 earned if the student beneficiary earns between $1,680 and $2,880 in a year. Benefits are re duced by $1 for every $1 earned if he earns over $2,880 a year. “A beneficiary can get full benefits for any month he earns less than $140, regardless of how much he earns in a year,” she said. If a student beneficiary changes schools, he should report his transfer to social security, according to Mrs. Crumpton. ‘‘And if a student gets married, he should get in touch with us right away,” Mrs. Crumpton said. ‘‘Marriage stops a student’s cash payments under social security.’5 Over 500,000 students, 18 to 22, get monthly social security payments because a parent collects disability or retirement benefits or has died. Students can continue to get bene fits to age 22 if they continue as full-time students and remain single. □ Arts group The Bi-County Art and Craft group will meet Thursday night, February 17, at 7:30 p.m. in the home of Mrs. Russell Dean at Boston.

Virginia ranks fifth in U.S. apple production Apple production in commercial orchards totaled 510 million pounds (12,142, 000 forty-two pound equivalents) in 1971, an increase of seven percent from 1970. Virginia ranked fifth in the U.S. in total production of apples for 1971. The five leading varieties of apples accounted for 88 percent of Virginia apples this year. Nationally, Virginia ranked second in the production of York Imperial, Stayman, and Winesap, and third in the production of Delicious and Golden Delicious. • Delicious led in produc tion by variety breakdown. Production in 1971 was estimated at 141.3 million pounds, 28 percent of total production. This was two percent larger than last year’s crop of Delicious. Golden Delicious production was third in im Pre-school registration set Children who will enter the first grade in Rappahannock County next year will be registered at the Rappahannock County Elementary School on Tuesday, February 15, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., it has been announced by O.A.

Surfeited with gambling and other gentlemanly dissipations, they rose eagerly to the bait when the Viscount Lisle proposed a dangerous new game: the ravishment of a maiden of a good family, her deflowerer to be chosen by a round of cards, wager made... .task accomplished. . .proof of success returned.. .a fellow club member turned informer. . .an avenging father’s diabolical plan.. .and the intervention of fate brings this moral tale to a proper ending.” “In the Shadow of Man,” by Jane van Lawick-Good all, is a first-hand, photograph - illustrated, “account of life among the wild chimpanzees. So complex is the social organization of a chimpanzee community, so obvious are the many parallels between chimpanzee and human relationships, that the author sometimes felt as if she were making a study of village life.. .She was able to record previously unknown behavior, such as the use and making of tools; she deciphered the complicated social hierarchy; she Watched a baby learning to walk, the solicitude of his sister and the playfulness of his older brother; she saw them fighting and bluffing; she learned to recognize male friendships and female jealousies, and to understand the problem of orphans.. .The lessons to be learned from chimpan• zee behavior are endless. ...” □ Traffic deaths down Virginia’s January traffic deaths numbered 74 to mark a substantial reduction from the 92 of January 1971, reports Col. H. W. Burgess, Superintendent of State Police. Colonel Burgess said that while it is far too early to make any prediction, the reduction raises hopes for the third consecutive year in which Virginia traffic fatalities will be reduced. There were 1,304 in 1969, 1,231 in 1970 and 1,212 in 1971. Acknowledging ever increasing official and citizen action in the field of traffic safety promotion, he said the drastic reduction is difficult to explain. “December 1971 set an all time high of 117 deaths for the month and this was largely attributed to the month’s long stretches of mild weather. Yet January 1972 was marked by similar stretches,” he noted. Colonel Burgess observ ed that Virginia’s rate of deaths for each 100 million miles of travel in 1970 was 4.3, well below the national average of 5.0, and that only nine states had lower rates. He , felt that when the statistics are compiled, for 1971, Virginia’s death rate will be about 4.1 and the national one 4.7. In 1935, Virginia’s was a record 24.2 and that of the Nation 15.9. □ Gospel singing -* The Inspirational Gospel Singers of Washington, D.

The crop was estimated at 75.5 million pounds, an increase of 10 percent from last year. Stayman production at 66.3 million pounds was fourth in importance. Production increased 10 percent from last year. Winesap production at 36.7 million pounds was fifth in importance. Production increased 11 percent from last year. The Nation’s 1971 apple crop, at 6.1 billion pounds sold or used, was three percent less than last season and nine percent below the large 1969 crop. Smaller output in Washington and California accounted for most of the decrease from last year. About one-fifth of the 1971 crop sold or used was grown in Washington, 15 percent in New* York, and 12 percent in Michigan. Pennsylvania,' Virginia and California followed with smaller shares, ranking fourth, fifth and sixth, respectively. Compared with last year, production was up one percent in the East ern States and five percent in the Central States, but down 12 percent in Western States. Apple production, including economic losses, stood at 6.4 billion pounds. Delicious was the leading variety, accounting for 28 percent of the total production. Forty-one percent of the Delicious were produced in Washington. Golden Delicious ranked second, accounting for 13 percent. Washington produced 38 percent of the Golden De-, licious. Other leading varieties and their percent of total were: McIntosh, 12 percent; Rome Beauty, 8 percent; Jonathan, 6 percent; York Imperial, 6 percent. These six varieties accounted for 73 percent of the total production. Estimates of production Jby varieties are based on total production including economic losses. About 4 percent of prospective 1971 crop was abandoned because of low prices, inadequate storage facilities, processing, packing, &c., and labor shortages. Most of the losses were in the Eastern States. □ Plan ahead and WIN 3 WAYS The successful farmer plans ahead ... and comes out ahead Reserve your Southern States Spring Seeds NOW IGet some protection from shortage.

British paper comments on hunting controversy The following is from the January 20 edition of the Evesham Journal and Four Shires Advertiser. It was entitled “Be Fair to the Unspeakable.” For those who might not know — or who might have forgotten — Oscar Wilde’s description of foxhunting was “The pursuit of the inedible by the unspeakable.” NOWHERE does the old dictum that all good tings have to come to an end hold good more firmly than =>.- in the correspndence columns of this newspaper when all those who are for or against hunting the fox have had their say. The moment has arrived yet again, when it is necessary to say that the* present exchange of views must now cease. After this week’s selection only people with something really new to say should go to the trouble and expense of writing to us on this topic. Of course the closure is not final. It never is. There will be another time. The debate is interminable, the enthusiasm of the participants indestructible. AT THIS POINT, though, perhaps we can join in, without pretending to any magisterial authority — or any sort of prejudice either. A couple of centuries ago, hunting the fox was a fact of country life that was completely taken for granted and no-one would have dreamt of opposing it. A hundred years ago, perhaps, one or two voices of dissent were already making themselves heard. Now, in the 1970s, hunting is a fact of country life that is nowhere near taken for granted. It is quite likely that more are against it than for it, but (it seems to us, at least) those who are against it are not necessarily devoted to the welfare of the fox. THE FACT is that fox hunting, unlike fishing and shooting — pursuits which similarly result in the death of living creatures for the satisfaction and pleasure of superior living creatures — is, for the most part, the preserve of a privileged minority. Most hunting people might well deny that they are rich and idle, and some could easily prove it, yet their sport consumes both -time and money at a rate which their inferiors envy. There is nothing at all wrong with privilege, if you happen to be privileged: it only hurts when you are not and wish you were. People take their pleasures in pursuits that fit their capacity and inclination. It could be argued that everyone hunts something, even mystics, especially mystics: Francis Thompson’s poem, “The Hound of Heaven,” makes the point. Until recent historical times, warfare was a sort of hunting sport. It has gone out of fashion now because it became too destructive and expensive. The same fate may well overtakejthe hunting of the fox, eventually. From the happy hunter’s point of view, it will be a thousand pities. □ PANTHER TALES By Brenda Printz The best news around RCHS is our win over the William Monroe High School Dragons.

WEBB Extension Agent, Home Economics ARE YOU PLAGUED with the musty odor and visual signs of mildew? Mildew is a fungus growth that thrives in damp, poorly ventilated and badly lighted places. It is easily identified by its gray, green, yellow or black spots varying in size from a pinpoint to a penny. C.D. Wheary, Extension Specialist, Housing, has given some suggestions on the prevention of mildew. The first step is to get rid of the cause of the dampness. Then dry out the building, room, or mildewed articles. Houses that have been closed are especially vulnerable to mildew. After the house is thoroughly dry, wipe or wash all mildewed surfaces with the following solution: 3 oz. tri-sodium phosphate (TSP) 1 oz. a household detergent 1 qt. bleach 3 qts. warm water (or enough to make one gallon of mixture.) THIS TREATMENT can stop surface mildew, but if rotting has begun, it is best to replace the wood. If a painted surface darkens because of mildew, chlorine bleach will help clean the paint and kill the spores. It is a good idea to check the area where the mildew occurs and fix bad flashings or leaks that might let the woodwork get damp.

Hunters in the Old Dominion managed to bag 355 bears during the 1971 season, the fourth highest total in the state’s recent history and not much shy of the record 381 taken in 1963, reports Game Division Chief R.H. Cross. Augusta County led the state .with 54 bears bagged within its boundaries followed by Rockingham Couoty where 34 were taken and Alleghany County where hunters downed 29. A total of 25 taken in the Dismal Swamp was the highest from that section in many years. Flooding in large portions of the swamp which concentrated the bears on the high ground was given as the reason for the increase. Twenty-four bears were taken in Madison County, five in Rappahannock. □ IN

THE FAUQUIER supervisors voted to table their decision pending preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement by the Atomic Energy Commission, a review of lines coming out of North An na which is expected to take ten months. According to RLEP, unlike the 138 kv line recently proposed for Rappahannock by Potomac Edison, a 500 kv transmission line is among the largest built in the world and involves huge steel “truss towers” and a far wider cleared strip of land visible from a much greater distance. The three cables “sizzle” in rain or fog and often “hum” as well as creating an energy field “unpleasant to both humans and animals.” In addition, television and radio reception is more effectively blocked nearby. “RLEP urges local landowners not to allow any Vepco survey across their property nor to cooperate with the utility in any way. If contacted by a utility representative, property owners are asked to call 6358749, 987-8206, 675-3693 or (202) 755-4608 for information,” it was stated.

Main St., Culpeper, Va.—825-8232 Forestry given new emphasis Now is an appropriate time for Rappahannock County farmers to consider planting forest trees or improving their farm timber stand. This reminder came from T. R. Taylor, chairman of the County Agriculture Stabilization and Conservation (ASC) Committee, in the light of new emphasis being given forestry practices under the Rural Environmental Assistance Program (REAP). According to the latest United States Department of Agriculture figures, 63 percent of the State’s land area is classified as forest lands. Only 45% of this land is well stocked. The report also shows that over 2 percent of the State’s farmland should be shifted from its present use and put into timber. Funds appropriated by Congress for the REAP are apportioned to states based on the conservation needs. “The State’s forested lands are a vital natural resource, and much of our marginal farm land and small acreages are not being properly utilized. Planting of these lands to trees will provide a sub Board (From page 1 held annually in April by the Town. Mrs. Davis also asked that the Board request the Water and Soil Conservation personnel to advise the county on preferred locations for a solid waste disposal landfill. She spoke about the “unsightly” dumpster in the Huntly area, and of problems in general coacerning disposal of trash. The Town over the years has rented a dump area and has had regular pickup service for the residents within the incorporated limits. This lease soon expires and very soon the state will require all sanitary landfills instead of just dumps. MRS. ELIZABETH BUNTIN, Superintendent of Welfare, asked for a member of the Board to be present at a meeting February 17 in Culpeper at which time plans will be discussed for a regional clinic to care for mental patients. Supervisor Latham volunteered to go in the event Mr. Foster was not able to make it. Mr. Foster is the Board representative on the Welfare Board. A request by the General Registrar for payment of dues and expenses to the Registrar’s Association was tabled since it was not included in the budget. A new desk was requested for the Commissioner of the Revenue’s office and was approved. □ stantial increase in forest products including lumber, poles, plywood, pulp and paper, and related by-products. While meeting demands for these wood products, the trees will provide soil and water conservation benefits, habitat for wildlife, recreation areas, and enhance the environment,” Taylor said. Last year, three county farmers planted or improved 21 acres of trees for cost - share assistance amounting to $463. “This is far less than the conservation needs inventory indicates should be devoted to forestry practices,” Taylor noted. The Chairman urged that farmers who plan to complete forestry practices during 1972 and want costshare assistance should file their request now even though the work will not be done until fall. The county committee will be better able to evaluate and adjust the county funds to meet the need. He pointed out that under the REAP the federal government usually shares on a 50-50 «jst-sha£e_basis ' with the farmer, but in the case of forestry practices, because of the long term, conservation benefits, the^ cost-share is 80 percent by the Federal Government. Costs are shared on land preparation, cost of planting stock, and actual planting costs. In the case of timber stand improvement, costs are shared on various improvement measures.

Phelps. une measure tnai prompted considerable discussion was Senate Bill 23 which would increase the basic non-resident license fee from $15.75 to $40. A similar resolution was presented to the Commission from the Rockingham-Harrisonburg chapter of-the Izaak Walton League of America, calling for a $10 increase. Behind these requests is an increase in the number of out-of-state deer hunters which comprise up to 23 percent of those hunting in western Virginia counties and bag 15 percent of the deer taken from that section. The commissioners declined to support the bill at the $40 level but indicated that they would not oppose an increase of up to $10 in non-resident fees with at least part of this attached to the non-resident big game license. A license package to hunt big game in neighboring states averages about $35.00. ANOTHER measure that would hit some sportsmen in the pocketbook was mentioned by Boating Committee Chairman Eddie Edgar of Norfolk. This bill, not yet introduced, will require the registration of all boats propelled by machinery, regardless of the size of motor or boat involved. “Federal law requires that the states so modify their boating registration laws or face federal intervention,” Edgar said. Special federal funds have been set aside to assist states in financing their boating safety programs, but these monies will not be allocated to states that do not move to require numbering of all motorboats regardless of horsepower. THE NEW registration requirement will get all motor propelled boats, including many powered by electric motors which have heretofore been exempt. October 1,1972, was selected as a target date for the new law to become effective. This would give most small boat owners until the spring of 1973 to register their boats since few are used during winter months. The commission went on record as opposing Senate Bill 132, which would exempt persons 65 and over from purchasing fishing licenses on the grounds that it would cut revenues and pass the cost of these free licenses on to the other anglers in the state. State, law currently exempts pi sons 70 and over from thM reqirement. ^ THREE NEW Assistant Supervising Game Wardens were approved, bringing the total to six of twelve* such allocated positions that have been filled. Game Warden Area Leader W.T, Jamison, currently • stationed in Giles County, was named assistant supervisor of the Daniel Boone District. Game Warden Area Leader Blake Denney, now stationed in Clarke County, was promoted to Assistant Supervisor of the Thomas Jefferson District, and Game Warden Area Leader Charlie Hunter of Surry was named to an equivalent post with the Hampton Roads District. □

Figures back parents up-children cost a lot How much does the average Rappahannock County family spend in bringing up a child? Under present conditions, what does it cost to have and to rear that little bundle of joy from infancy to age 18? Those questions come to the fore at this time be‘V^cause-ef ar report recently ^ released by the Commission on Population and the American Future, showing what it averages — on a national basis. In the local area, as well as elsewhere, the cost is vastly greater todayJhan it was when father and mother were children. In those days, according to a study entitled “The Money Value of a Man,” a typical family spent $7,425 to raise a child to age 18. That covered the cost of childbirth, housing, food, Accidents investigated Mrs. Alice Susan Grigsby of Castleton sustained minor injuries in a single vehicle crash on Route 211 AH R/C QUALITY THCATRC IN FRONT ROYAL, VIRGINIA NOW THRU TUESDAY Evenings at 7 & 9 p.m. Matinees Sat. & Sun. at 2 p.m. DEAN MARTIN BRIAN KEITH 'something Mg' TEOMCOLOR* li!S SUN-MON-TUE "THE RA EXPEDITIONS” You must see RA!

She entered Fauquier Hospital with shoulder and rib injuries and lacerations of the head. Mrs. Grigsby was operating a ‘62 Chevrolet three miles west of Amissville when the accident occurred about 8 p.m. According to investigating officer W.A. Buntin, she ran off the right of the highway and went through two fences, tearing down ten sections. Damage was set at $500 to the car and about $100 to the fence, which belonged to Levi Atkins and Mrs. Annie Coke. Mrs. Grigsby was charged with reckless driving. Sunday night on Route 231 nine miles south of Sperryville a car skidded into a bridge. This crash was investigated by Trooper G.F. Gregory. A Saab driven by John Douglas McLean of Madison struck the cement structure after sliding on the road. Damage to the vehicle was estimated at $800. Injured in the crash were passengers Chris Jenkins of Madison, Debbie Utz of Brightwood and Annie McKee of Woodville. All were taken to University of Virginia Hospital, Charlottesville. McLean was cited for driving defective equipment. □ BIRTH ANNOUNCED Mr. and Mrs. John Henry Woodward of Culpeper announce the birth of a son, John Henry Jr., on January 19, 1972, in Culpeper Memorial Hospital. Mr. andMr.J.T. Woodward of Castleton and Mrs. Ada Settle of Woodville are grandparents of the infant. BIRTH ANNOUNCED Mr. and Mrs. Claude Bright of Sperryville have announced the birth of a son, Daniel Lloyd on February 2, 972, at Culpeper Memorial Hospital.

Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Leake of Sperryville are the great-grandparents. L clothing, transportation, education and medical expenses. Nowadays, by ways of comparison, that outlay would reach only about one - fourth of the way. The food bill alone, for the average youngster, runs to about $8,500 in the 18 years, according to the Health Insurance Institute. In Rappahannock County, and everywhere else, the amount that a family spends in the process of bringing up its children is closely governed by its income. Those who have a lot spend a lot. In general, it is found, the outlay ranges from nearly 2.9 times a family’s one year earnings, after taxes, to over 3.6 times earnings. In the case of Rappahannock County, with its average net income '6f $5,000 to $6,000 per household, according to the latest figures, the 18-year expenditure is estimated at about $19,800 per child. A detailing of the outlays shows that, except for the first year, when close to $3,000 may be spent for medical and hospital bills, furniture, clothing, medicines and the like, the greatest demand comes in the period between ages 13 and 18, when youngsters eat more, require more expensive clothes and want more money for recreation. Based upon current costs, the total expenditure by Rappahannock County parents for the 100 or so girls and boys in the area who reach 18 each year, comes to approximately $1,980,000 to that point. □ PTA to hear Durbrow A RETIRED UNITED STATES Ambas sador will be guest speaker at the meeting of the Rappahannock County Elementary School Parent-Teachers Association Thursday, February 17, at the school.
