Volume XXni, Niimber 34 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA • THURSDAY, JUNE 29, 1972 TEN CENTS New look’s new phase Washington’s Madam Mayor steps down to end an era By SARAH LATHAM THE SAME HANDS which rocked the cradles have ruled the Town of Washington for the past 22 years, and next week the era of complete “petticoat rule” in the quaint, colonial village will cease. Two men will hold offices the coming year, the first time since the writein vote for the ladies which took place in 1950. As the new fiscal year begins in July, a male mayor and one male council number will join the remaining ladies to fill out the slate of seven elected in May. In the 1950 election, Mrs. Dorothy C, Davis was named Mayor while council seats were taken by Mrs. Acsah Miller, Mrs. Louise Price, Miss Ruhy Jenkins, Miss Elizabeth Racer, Mrs. Bobbi Critzer- and Mrs. Dorothy Hawkins. The “Lady Mayor” had declined to serve longer for she had held the office since initial lady election except for two, two-year terms, along with the all - woman council. Mrs. Hawkins remains a council member and is the only lady official who has served continuously since 1950. She has been clerk of the executive group for a number of years. THE WASHINGTON town government received nationwide publicity efte»*#uri ladies took all of the town offices in a write-in vote following a rapid campaign (Tura to page 10) Mrs. Dorothy C. Davis bows out of the exectuive seat of the Town of Washington after serving on that position for 22 years. She held that position except for four years since a write in vote elected a lady mayor and all woman council in 1950. **v*»Tbe last council.,..of all ladies included, left to right, Mrs Christine Johnston, Mrs.Bertha Armel, Mrs. Dorothy Hawkins, retiring Mayor Davis, Mrs. Virginia Miller and Mrs. Edna Wayland. All were reelected to continue on the council ^* with newly elected Mayor Andrew Kozik and Kermit Weakley, councilman. Roaring Rock Mills was doing just that last week in the wake of the storm when the high water covered the large bridge and debris was packed along its sides. Both roads were covered with water which spread out over the bottom land. The most prominent things afloat were empty plastic bleach bottles. Tuesday is the day By MARY JAMIESON ON TUESDAY, July 4, 10 to 5 o’clock, the Library’s Super Flea Market' and Fourth Celebration will transform Washington, Va. into a music-filled town of singing voices, fun games, good food and drink, and thousands of bargains. “The Lord Willin’ and weather permittin’,” says Col. Pete Luke, chairman of arrangements, “a border-to-border county turnout is expected, plus a large visiting public from Culpeper, Fauquier and areas as far as Washington, D.C. and Charlottesville.” “Drizzle or shine, we’ll go on with the celebration. Only a deluge will stop us.” THE DAY program will be full of variety and zest. At 1:30 a short, snappy entertainment on the steps of the Rappahannock Library will sound a patriotic note in the Independence Day tradition, its title: “America Sings.” Strolling musicians, instead of cars, will cruise the shopping mall of umbrella -lined Gay Street, singing their songs for shoppers and sitters alike. Organ music will peel out from the porch of the Old Washington Inn to jolly up Blinker Light Corner, its Craft, Consignment and “Fine Things” shops and refreshment tent. THE POPULAR luncheon treats of the Hopewell Baptist Church Ladies will be served in the shade of a big top installed on the lawn opposite the Trinity Church. Children’s games, carnival style, will be played around the Library. Even a berobed fortunetelling Swami will be present to astound and astonish with his wisdom. “THERE’LL BE some real fun for everyone, we hope,” said Col. Luke, “so don’t forget it’s Tuesday, the legal 4th, at 10 a.m. Come early to Little Washington, (on Route 211) to get parked in our big lot off Main Street near the Cash Store.” □ The flood made us late last week.

SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Glorious Fourth MUSIC, PICNICKING, fireworks, community participation of all varieties — if that doesn’t add up to the “Old Fashioned Fourth of July” beloved of political orators (and editorial writers), then we don’t recognize an Independence Day when we see one. And that’s what’s in store for the Town of Washington, the County of Rappahannock and all who want to join in the festivities this coming Tuesday, July 4th, 1972. And when you remember that all of the doings are focused on a good cause — support of the Rappahannock Library — then the whole business becomes even more worthwhile. We’d tip a tri-cornered hat, if we had one, to all the enthusiastic volunteers who have put so much thought and effort into what could become a gala annual tradition for “Little Washington” and Rappahannock. These stalwart citizens are due a vote of thanks from all of us for a job well done. But the best way we can show our appreciation is by showing up Tuesday to join in the fun. ONE FINAL THOUGHT, one that might even contain the means for one final act of civic improvement: If anyone spots a handsome wail clock among the Flea Market offerings, we’d wish they would consider the sad state of the time-keeping equipment in Rappahannock Court House’s otherwise exceedingly handsome and well-appointed court room. Envision, if you will, a mellow clock of the Seth Thomas ilk, blending in with the venerable and time-proven furnishings of what is one of the most distinctive and dignified court rooms in this part of Virginia — or anywhere, for that matter. Such a judicious purchase (the modifier seems especially appropriate) and donation would provide a final crown for what shapes up as one of the most Glorious Fourths we’ve had around here in a long time. □ Barns! Barns! Barns! Editor: First, let me say, I have nothing against a barn. I have lived close to one all my life, part of which has been in Rappahannock and nowin Warren County, where I reside. They serve a very useful purpose. I do think the Rappahannock News needs a new “guessing game.” Barns! Barns! Barns! This has been going on for weeks. Just for a change of scenes, why not run pictures of all the pretty churches in the county. I enjoy the paper very much and maybe this is just a “pet peeve.” Anyway, this is the way I feel. Dibby Schaefer Manuel Front Royal Page 2 Barns The barn pictured in the June 22 issue, last week, of the Rappahannock News was owned by Paul Brown and is located in the Amissville area. None of our good subscribers identified the barn correctly. This week we give you a familiar one and are sure that it can be identified by many.

Letters to the editor Snead praised for Vepco act Editor: All Virginians interested in preserving the vital scenic resources of their countryside can take heart in the action of Circuit Court Judge Rayner V. Snead in der laying a Vepco demand for a court order authorizing its new high-tension power lines until after the public hearing by the State Corporation Commission in Richmond, in accord with the state’s new Environmental Protection Act. The staging for this latest judicial encounter was in Fauquier County, where county counsel and a large group of citizen intervenors, through their attorney, strongly opposed the contention of Randolph Church, an attorney for Vepco, that impending electric shortages require almost instant approval of the 500,000 kv project. Although the Fauquier Planning Commission has denied Vepco’s application for a permit, and the County’s Board of Supervisors has refused to take action on it pending a study of its environmental impact by the Atomic Energy Commission, Vepco obviously is determined to piunge on with an arrogant public-bedamned attitude. Many concerned citizens are wondering if Vepco’s frantic hurry is triggered, not by potential electric shortages, but by the hardnosed realization that if it fails to push this environmental insult through swiftly it will not get it through at all due to the rising concern of so many Virginians about the irreparable harm being done to their land in the questionable name of necessity. That this rising concern is having broad protective and beneficial effects is shown by the action of the state legislature in passing a bill at its last session requiring such public hearings by the State Corporation Commission. Virginia residents might ask themselves why so many years passed without this reasonable requirement, why the utilities and the legislature were so cozy with each other in giving the powerful utilities virtually every law they wanted. In any case, this wrong has been rectified and the hearing will be held, although much, much more remains to be done in Richmond to give citizens the environmental protection they are entitled to have under the law, including the right to peaceful enjoyment of their own scenic property. But further reform of die pro-utility, straightjacket laws depends primarily on an increasing awareness of the issue by all Virginians. The courts must be guided by these laws and by precedents, but even the Supreme Court as we know varies at times in its in terpretation of the law. A broader interpretation of many crucial issues based on the new awareness of environmental damage affecting all citizens is being made not only by the courts but by state and Federal administrators. One wonders, for instance, whether the state legislature, in granting public utilities the right to construct utility lines across beautiful Virginia land, had any concept at that time that such lines would some day grow from the little poles and a few wires to the ugly, giant steel spiders with their massive towers that are starting to crisscross the state. Surely the day must come when the courts hold that this kind of permanent desecration was never contemplated. And until that glorious day comes, we must all fight a delaying action. Strong and growing opposition to the projected 500,000 kv lines is now evident in three scenic counties, Fauquier, Rappahannock and Warren. In the face of this public indignation, Vepco has pushed ahead rapidly with its survey teams, sought to bypass public hearings with demands for court orders, and wined and dined the press in an effort to win it over to its side. It also has made much of the urgent public need for more electric and the dire consequences of failure to provide new hightension lines. But it has said nothing whatever so far about the fact that it spends a good part of its own budget — derived of course from us, me conWest Virginia to the North Anna river in Louisa County. There are existing alternate routes, and there is reason to believe it would be less costly to us consumers and to Vepco’s own shareholders, and surely less destructive to Virginia, to use these alternate routes, corridors that already bear the heavy cross of high-tension lines. It is clear that a new day is dawning in America, h new awareness of environmental dangers and a new (Turn to page n Rappahannock News • Thursday,-June 29, 1972

Most Interstate speed limits to be upped to 70 MAXIMUM HjJPEED limits will be raised shortly' to 70 mph for cars and 60 mph for traces on most of Virginia’s interstate high- i way system, but will Remain at present levels for 12 urban sections because of safety considerations. J.P. Mills Jr., traffic and safety engineer for the State Department of Highways, said that the depart- . ment’s sign crews will ber gin erecting new speed limit signs July 1 and hope to have the job completed the next day. Nearly 400 signs informing motorists of the present limits of 65 mph for care and 55 mph for trucks will be changed, Mills said. The 1972 session of the General Assembly authorised the increased limits, but provided for lower speeds at specific locations if traffic engineering studies indicated the lower limits were desirable for safe' ty reasons. Mills said the department's traffic engineers have driven over the entire interstate system — some |8i5 miles of which will be open to motorists ^ by July 1, with the June 29 opening of Interstate 77 between Wytheville and Bland. ■ THE ENGINEERS found that a total of about 64 miles should retain present maximum speed limits) generally because they are located in Urban areas and serve heavy volumes of traffic, or, in a few instances v because it was concluded that increased speed limits would not be safe due to curves or because of the short lengths erf the roads involved. Among those to be unchanged is the full 22-mile Virginia portion of Interstate 495? the beltway around Washington, D.C., where the existing limits of 65 mph for cars and 55 mph for trucks will be retained. The beltway, one of the state’s busiest roads, serves more than 80,000 vehicles a day on some segments. Present limits of 65 mph Fish eggs airlifted Approximately 10,000 grayling eggs obtained from the state of Utah were shipped by air nonstop from Salt Lake City to Dulles International Airport June 7 and then flown to the Game Commission’s Marion Fish Cultural Station where they will be hatched and used for experimental stocking, reports Fish Division Chief Jack Hoffman. Utah has used the fishes . from northern climes to stock its tailwaters below dams where water is extremely cold and often low in dissolved oxygen, having been drawn from the bottom of the lake. Commission biologists have a stretch of the Smith River immediately below Philpott Dam in mind for the initial release. “The graylings are reported to be difficult to raise with 35% survival considered good,” Hoffman said, “so we don’t know how many we will end up with.” The fish are to be stocked at fingerling size, probably late this fall. The grayling is a small member of the trout family with a large sail-like dorsal fin. It is reported similar to the brook trout in habit and is similarly rather easy to catch. Snead praised (Frontpage*) hope that our seas, or inland waterways, our food, our air can be cleansed of the pollution and contaminants we have been pouring into them. In this spirit, this dire Vepco threat to a large segment of Virginia’s justly-famous rolling meadows and stately woods can — . and will be defeated. In fact the most courageous and public-spirited act Vepco could take at this time would be to withdraw its planned disfiguration of new lands and make do, with its engineering genius, with the existing alternate towers. THAT would be real public relations. Edward A. Harris Jordan River Farms Huntly and 55 mph also will be kept on the 12-mile segment of biter state 95 (Shirley Highway) from a point a mile south of Springfield at Secondary 644 to the Virginia-District of Columbia line. This serves traffic volumes ranging up to 106,900 vehicles daily. (Reduced construction speed limits are in effect temporarily on much of this section.) THE EXISTING limits also will be retained on two .other sections of highway in Northern Virginia. One is the half-mile segment of 1-66 from Lynn Street to the District of Columbia line in Arlington; the other is a 3.4mile section of 1-66 west of Marshall in Fauquier County. Also included on the list for retention of present speed limits are two segments of interstate routes in the Richmond area. These include the 3.4-mile segment of 1-64 between Richmond - Petersburg Turnpike downtown and a point just east of Va. 33, and a 1.7-mile section of 1-95 connecting with the northern end of the Richmond - Petersburg Turnpike. Earlier, the turnpike authority announced plans to retain existing speed limits on the entire distance of its facility. The existing maximum limits will be retained on five sections of the interstate system in the Hampton Roads area. These include the 8.4 miles of I64 between Newgate Road and the Curlew Drive overpass in Virginia Beach; 4.5 miles of 1-264 connecting with 1-64 and the Virginia Beach - Norfolk Expressway; a 2.1-mile section of 1-264 between US 17 and Washington Street in Portsmouth; the 1.5 miles of 1-464 which have been completed; and the 2.8 miles of 1-64 between Va. 134 and the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel toll plaza in Hampton. In addition, the present limits will be kept on the 1.5-mile Interstate381 spur at Bristol. □ ^W£ HELP YOU.

Senators triumphant The Rappahannock Senators Midgets streaked past previously unbeaten Upperville Saturday at home with a 10-5 score. Roger Jenkins pitched sound baseball walking one and scattering nine hits to post his second win of the season. Rappahannock collected 11 hits in 5 innings with Barry Hudson getting three hits, a triple and two singles, while driving in two runs. Roger Jenkins and Nils Aylor also had three hits and two runs batted in. After a slow start, the Senators have won three in a row. The Senators sneaked past Marshall at home Tuesday night 6-5. Marshall tied the game at 6-6 in the 6th inning but the Marshall batter who drove in the tying run batted out of turn in the line up. This ended the game making it unnecessary for the Senators to bat in the bottom of the 6th. Marshall got 3 hits and Rappahannock 2 in a sloppily played game. Roger Jenkins went 6 innings for the win. The Senators are now 4-2 for the year after beating the two division leaders last week. □ We Can Supply All Ybur BUILDING NEEDS CULPEPER BUILDING & SUPPLY CORP.

WEBB Extension Agent, Home Economics WITH ALL OF THE RAINY weather lately, it is a good time to take a look at your umbrella. On one of those bright sunny days bring out the umbrellas for a cleaning. Beatrice Kalka, an Extension Home Economist, recommends opening the umbrella and place it in the bath tub or a place where spilled water will not be a problem. It is best to place the umbrella on a sheet of paper. Newsprint may stain light-colored umbrellas. With a sponge or a soft brush of some type, gently scrub the fabric with a soap or detergent in warm water. Then sponge the fabric with cool water, remove excess water with a towel and wipe each rib. Leave the umbrella open until it has dried completely. . Now you are all ready for the next rainy day with a clean umbrella. THIS NEXT HINT comes from the state consumer marketing specialist, Doris B. Hays. If you have greens in your garden or buy them to put in your freezer, you might like a helpful hint on taking the work out of washing the greens. Using nylon net stitch it up about the size and shape - of a lingerie bag. Using an old shoe string threaded around the top, tie it up. Fill it loosely with your greens and toss two of these bags into your automatic washer. (Two will keep the load balanced.) Just be sure you set the dial for cold water washing and use the delicate cycle, if you have one. “Hey look, no ring around the collards!!” □ Class on drugs A class on drugs and detection of their use will be held Tuesday, July 11, at 7:30 at the Flint Hill Fire Hall.

Views of political history After the initial write-in election of the ladies Mrs. Dorothy Davis ran one time for the office of mayor and since then had always been written-in. At the onset of her second term she was sworn in by Rappahannock County Clerk, the late James M. Settle who administered the oath of office. (From page 1 of two days. Tired of the “passive management” of the town by the men who failed to replace burned out streetlights, or keep the grass cut along the streets — and, in addition, allowed dogs to run loose in the town, creating a nuisance — the ladies did something about it. They put themselves in office,- though the whole idea was not entirely their own. The late B. M. Miller, at that time trial justice for the county, made the suggestion which caught on quickly. THE WOMEN assumed the offices with the handsome salary of $5 per month for the mayor and $2 each for the council, along with the problems of the lights, grass and dogs and a central water system which was in receivership. The ensuing years have been marked by good, prac - tical management by the girls and the bonds on the water system have been paid off. The reservoir, originally a WPA project, has recently been drained, sandblasted, cleaned, repaired and refilled. Finances of the town fluctuate with funds coming from A.B.C. monies, the bank and the electric utility company. A decrease in population also has affected the amount of revenue available. The number of residents once stood at 245, and in the 1970 census a decrease to 179 had occurred. As one would guess, the expenditures have increased and a once-a-week trash pickup which used to cost $10 a month is now $60, with the additional expense of a dump site and bulldozer service each month. The service is now more costly for fewer persons. WHEN THE ladies were re-elected to office for their second term, they all qualified and their names were on the ballot. Since that election the remaining ones have all been writeins. Miss Ruby Jenkins was the first clerk of the group. Prior to the all-woman council, Mrs. Louise Price had served in that position with one other lady, Mrs. Mary Partlow. When President Nixon doubled his salary a while back the officials of Washington, Va., doubled theirs, too. The mayor retires from a $10 a month salary and council members receive $5 per month each. ASSUMING the office of The second all-woman council elected to serve with the lady mayor include, left to right, Mrs. Helen Benton, Mrs. Acsah Miller, Mrs. Dorothy Hawkins, Miss Ruby Jenkins, who was also on the original council but was absent when the other picture was made, Mrs. Louise Price and Mrs. Bobbi Critzer. Miss Jenkins was also the first clerk for the group. Over the years many other ladies have served one or more terms on the council. The Davis family, Normie, Mayor Davis, George m, George H. Davis Jr. and Dottie, following tiie 1950 election at which time Mrs. Davis became the Mayor. Mr. Davis, an attorney for the Justice Department at that time, said he washed dishes and baby sat while his wife campaigned for office on a write-in vote. Mr. Davis is the present Commonwealth’s Attorney for Rappahannock County. Mrs. Davis took four years off from the office and in that time added another member to the family, Drucilla, now a senior in high school. Photos from our files, The Washington Mayor next week will be Andrew Kozik, who ran unopposed in the May election and received a large vote of confidence. Kermit Weakley will be the one councilman, joining incumbent councilwomen Mrs. Virginia Miller, Mrs. Dorothy Hawkins, Mrs. Edna Wayland, Mrs. Charistine Johnston and Mrs. Bertha Armel. □ Post and Life magazine Mrs. Dorothy Davis leaves home with her children George m, Normie and Dotty enroute to inauguration ceremonies which were held on the Rappahannock County Courthouse lawn. Mrs. Dorothy C. Davis, Mayor of the Town of Washington for 18 years accepts the responsibilities of the office in 1950 at inaugural ceremonies on the courthouse lawn. Congressman Burr P. Harrison was Master of Ceremonies for the occasion and Senator A. Willis Robertson gave an address also. One of the projects undertaken by the lady officials was the restoration of the monument on the courthouse lawn which stands near the treasurer’s office. The “little ladies” went right to work and their accomplishments over the years includes the salvaging of the town water system which had gone into receivership. In addition to paying off the debts, the system has been improved and just last year the reservoir was drained, sanded and cleaned.

The bridegroom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Lynwood Musgrave Sr. of Norfolk. The ceremony was performed at Trinity Episcopal Church, Washington, at fouir~"thirty o’clock in the afternoon.

Bingo was won by Mrs. Johnson. □ Mrs. James Rice Musgrave New drunk driving rules July 1 will see a drastic lowering of the blood alcohol level of motorists necessary to raise the presumption of guilt in cases of operating when intoxicated, notes Colonel H. W. Burgess, Superintendent of State Police. Under a law enacted by the 1972 General Assembly, this level will be cut from the present .15 percent of blood alcohol by weight to .1. Colonel Burgess explained that while variables enter the picture, a 160pound person has the equivalent of about 6-1/2 ounces of 100 proof whisky in his system when the .15 level is reached. The comparable amount for the .1 level is four ounces. “This does not mean that the individual has consumed The Keeton Barnes Family would lik$ to express its sincere appreciation to the good neighbors of Rappahannock County who assisted them following a serious automobile accident. Special thanks are extended Mr. Frank Huff, Mr. Roy Whorton, Mr. Roland Welch, Mp. Emory Russell and Mrs. Mary Latham. these amounts,” he said, it means they are in his system at the time of testing, for the level drops at a rate of about .015 percent an hour.” The .15 level r has long been considered by medical authorities as unrealistically high and that 37 states now set it at .1 while Utah and Idaho, as well as the Canadian provinces, use .08. As of July 1, the law will direct that a presumption of innocence is raised if the level is .05 or less and one of guilt if it is .10 or above. In between, no presumption is raised and the test result is to be considered along with other evidence. The “impaired driving” offense, providing a lesser penalty at a .1 level, will be done away with. Another law mentioned by Colonel Burgess is one reducing the mandatory license suspension upon a conviction of driving when intoxicated from one year to six months,with courts having the power to increase the suspension time up to a year. He said this was brought about by reluctance of juries to convict when the accused person depended upon his license for his livelihood. The three year suspension upon a second conviction will remain mandatory when this law becomes effective, also on July 1, he said. Use of the breath test for the final determination^ will not be authorized until January 1, 1973. □ SUMMER of BOYS and GIRLS Apparel Starts Thursday June 29 Jack & Jill Shop 116 S.

Danger of 4th of July fireworks Is The 4th of July holiday ends very differently than it begins for many children and their distraught parents. Fireworks, all of which are dangerous, can turn Independence Day into “Dependence Day” from loss of sight. The Virginia Society for the Prevention of Blindness, Inc., offers the frightening figures on fatalities, eye and burn injuries that result yearly from fireworks accidents. One such case was a 13-yearold Richmond area boy playing with a firecracker. It exploded, sending its contents into his left eye. This accident took place on July 2. However, it caused months of treatment by ophthalmologists, commitment in Richmond Eye Hospital and finally John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore — constant care, trying to save the eye, trying not to operate. The technical terms are corneal edema — flare cells in the anterior chamber — photophobia. Today, his chart reads “scars all over eye.” The boy is out of danger, but his eye will never be perfect. For him and his family, it has been a year filled with fear — from a \ . • t? few minutes of “harmless fun.” Class C fireworks, the little ones, cause the largest number of accidents, accounting for 49 percent of the injuries to the eyes and 43 percent of the burn injuries according to a recent survey by the National Society for the Prevention of Blindness, Inc. Identified as Class C are small firecrackers (1 1/2 inches long or smaller), sparklers, fountains, roman candles, small rockets and similar articles. Class C fireworks are legal in Virginia except where outlawed by municipal ordinance. Sparklers, supposedly the safest and most harmless of fireworks, reach an after-burn temperature of 2,000-degrees Fahrenheit. As a result, faces are disfigured, eyes are scarred and destroyed, fingers and hands are seared or even blown away, and clothing is set afire, and the little sparkler is the leading offender in property damage cases. Joseph S. Galeski Jr. president of the Virginia Society for the Prevention of Blindness, Inc., directs this message to parents: “Don’t buy fireworks, don’t let your children handle them or be in the vicinity where others are using fire works. Warn your teenagers of the very real danger.” Cherry bombs are to blame for the most seriou^ of the 10,000 fireworks accidents that occur yearly.

Teacher aid explained Many school teachers over the age of 62 are taking advantage of a good thing, reported Mrs. Hazel F.

School teachers can receive a check for July and sometimes June or August even if they are paid on a 12-month basis. The only requirements are that they be over 62, do not work and earn over $140 during the month, and file an ap3 plication with the social security office. Many of the teachers in the counties served by the Winchester office are not aware of this provision of the Social Security Law. Mrs. Crumpton advised that any teacher wishing to learn more about receiving social security checks during the summer months should contact the office at 20 S. Cameron St. in Winchester.
