Sajjjralyamunrk Kma Published Thursday Morning at Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia, by the Fauquier Publishing Company, Inc. Entered as Second Class Mail at the Post Office in Washington, Virginia. Subscriptions (in advance) $3 in Rappahannock and adjacent counties: $3.50 East Coast: $4 Midwest: $4.50 West Coast MRS. SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Be warned RAPPAHANNOCK SUPERVISORS and county officials have noticed it, and commented1 on it. So have Fauquier Supervisors, and their county officials. Metropolitan area developers are definitely getting more active in this area. The reason is not hard to find — aside from the obvious attractions Rappahannock and Fauquier hold as places in which people want to build homes and live. The main reason the developers (who often could care less about the “home” and “human” aspects of their construction activities) are suddenly interested in us is because Fairfax and other “close-in” counties are increasingly not interested in development. Fairfax has gotten particularly tough on the developers and their grandiose schemes to turn a fast buck. Lately, Prince William and Loudoun counties have begun to follow suit — “follow suit” is a phrase used advisedly, since this is what the developers do when county governments don’t hop to their tune. Loudoun has been especially demanding, as their now famous lawsuit against the giant Levitt corporation attests, and Fauquier is following closely behind. THE LESSON to Rappahannock is obvious. The counties which are now resisting runaway development are doing so for good reason — it’s ^ mess. And a bitter disappointment, not only for present residents, but for the “new folks” brought in, as well. And it costs a lot — in higher taxes, in a lowered standard of living, and in ever increasing losses of peace and tranquility. □ LIBRARY LINES OUR CHILDREN’S HOUR planning committee is ready to begin making plans for special activities IF area parents are interested in bringing their children to the Library one Saturday each month. All parents who are interested in having their children participate are requested to express tfyeir interest to the librarians before September 1. Also, suggestions for activities will be welcomed.

Others who correctly identified the barn are Paul J. Smith, Richard Pierson and Farrell Nicholas. Several replies were partly correct but could not be counted for the owner was not properly named. This is an interesting barn pictured, so try again. Mail or bring replies to Rappahannock News, Box 38, Washington, Va. 22747. One entry per household. No phone calls. Letters to the editor General Noce refutes Garter Editor: / In your issue of August 10, 1972 you have an article headed “Carter Answers General Noce.” It contains a statement by Randy Carter allegedly quoting the Piedmont Virginian wherein he quotes me as saying “I hope we can settle this (Carter and I) or that I can take a pick handle and level it over his head and call him a such and such liar.” I have consulted the Piedmont Virginian and find no such statement including the words “Carter and I.” I did not use those words. The Rappahannock News of July 13, 1972, in the box at the top of the article, does not contain those words. I was talking to our Board of Supervisors and they well understood the “we” meant me and them. To deliberately put unspoken words in my mouth is not “poetic license” it is pure unadulterated “license” of a low level. The main points of that meeting were: Randy Carter’s attack on me in the Rappahannock News, in which he said I misrepresented Rappahannock County at meetings. The Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors unanimously passed two motions on July 6, 1972: (1) changing the minutes of its March meeting so that its meaning was clearer; (2) a motion stating: “The representative of this County on the Governor’s Advisory Committee on the Rappahannock River* Basin, General Noce, was free to state his opinions freely prior to March 2, 1972, on the Salem Dam Project. He had no contrary instructions from this Board, and be it further stated that he kept this Board advised as to major events in the progress of this Project, and did not misrepresent this Board.” Even Jack Anderson after his big alleged “scoop” against Senator Eagleton reviewed his information, withdrew his first slanderous statement, and apologized to Senator Eagleton. That takes a certain amount of character or something. . . In my article to the Rappahannock News of February 10, 1972, I stated that I did not. intend to get into a newspaper hassle with Randy Carter. Instead, I will from time to time ignore his prattle, or, if he lays himself wide open, as he'did in his article of February 3, 1972, I may inform the Public of his twisting of facts. Please see my letter to the Editor in the Rappahannock News of February 10, 1972. To refresh the public’s mind: Randy Carter said in his February 3 letter to the Editor, in speaking of “drawdown”: “This is something the Engineers never mention.” Below is copied Par. 99, page 43, of Senate Document No. 37, 90th Congress, 1st Session — the law approved by the President for the Salem Church Project. I think it speaks loud and clear. “The reservoir would have a fluctuating water level. However, the drawdown would be 10 feet or less in 8 years out of 10 on an average during the 20week primary recreation season, May through September. In extremely dry years, there willbeagreater drawdown of the lake. The maximum drawdown in some 57 years of stream flow record would have been about 25 feet during the summer season. Monthly drawdowns would normally be limited to 3 feet or less during the recreation season. This would not have a significantly adverse effect on, the potential of the 'project to provide an enjoyable recreation experience.” You may be able .to judge just another facet of Randy Carter’s accuracy (?), truthfulness (?), or demagoguery. Daniel Noce ^ CHOIR ANNIVERSARY The Senior Choir of Hopewell Baptist Church, Sperryville will celebrate its anniversary on Sunday, August 27 at 3 p.m. Mrs. Han and daughter will be guest singers.

Rappahannock News • Thursday, August 24f 1972 dance at both sessions is necessary to complete the entire battery of tests. The tests, administered and supervised by the Adult Education Service of the State Department of Edu-' cation, are designed to measure the educational development of individuals who left school before graduation. The battery of five examinations in English composition, Social Studies, Natural Science, Literature and Mathematics are designed to measure the major generalizations, ideas, and intellectual skills that result from four-year high school curriculums. By achieving satisfactory scores on GED tests adults may earn a high school equivalency certificate; qualify for admission to college or advanced educational opportunities; meet educational requirements for employment or promotion; satisfy educational qualifications for induction to the United States Armed Forces; and meet regulations of State and local boards of licensing examiners for admission to licensing examinations for occupations requiring educational competence at the ninth, tenth, or eleventh grade level. Certificates may be issued to civilian and military personnel who meet the following requirements: AN APPLICANT must be at least 20. Under circumstances considered justifiable by local school authorities, the age limit may be lowered; however, no applicant may take the tests prior to the time that he would have graduated from high school had he remained in school and made normal progress. A person under 20 must have earned at least eight units of high school credit, excluding health and physical education, to be eligible to take the GEDtests. Applicants also must either be permanent residents of Virginia or have resided in the State six months prior to applying for testing. CERTIFICATES are issued for minimum standard scores of 35 on each of the five tests and an average standard score of 45 on all tests. An applicant who fails to achieve a passing score on one or more of the tests may be retested if he can present evidence of additional study in the areas to be tested. Persons interested in taking the test may apply at the office of the Superintendent of Schools of the County in which he resides. Applications will be accepted through September 6. A fee of $5 is charged for the battery of five tests and $1 for each re-test. Applicants who apply must present their Social Security Card when making application for GED. □ H.L.BORDEN LUMBER CO.

He showed them what to do as well as what not to do and how to enter a boat safely. Mrs. Carol Kammeter was an instructor in some of the classes. She is in the dark shirt in the boat. A safety measure in attempting a rescue in water is demonstrated by a chain of swimmers who join arms with an anchor man holding to the poolside. A person far out can be reached in this manner and brought ashore. Anchor man in this picture is Courtney Jones of Amissville.

Phone 8254)395 Letter to the editor Highway engineer criticized Editor: This is an open letter to Mr. James Skeens of the Virginia State Highway Department: Dear Mr. Skeens: On August 11, there was a head-on collision on Route 637. It would not have happened had the road been less hazardous. ' Near misses occur daily on this heavily traveled, poorly maintained, onelane dirt road, and no one who lives on it has not been in the ditch at least once. In April, I attended the road hearing and requested improvement for Route 637. None has been made and maintenance has been minimal. Grading consists of pushing boulders and beer cans from the sides to the middle of the road. I wonder why the Highway Department wastes my time and that of the Rappahannock Supervisors by holding these road hearings. It is my understanding that you, Mr. Skeens, and you alone, decide how highway funds are to be spent in this county. If this is so, you are badly in need of assistance and advice. It doesn’t seem right that CARD OF THANKS The Amissville Ladies Auxiliary wishes to express appreciation to all who assisted with the food stand, carnival preparations and carrying out of same, contributed food, time or other aid, to make the carnival a success. A special word of thanks goes to the girls who were candidates in the queen contest and who work unceasingly to realize the full potential of this event. Mrs. Edith Hackley, President one man should have complete cotrol of how to spend so many taxpayers’ dollars. You seem to have a talent for making unwanted improvements and not making them where needed. The day of the horse and buggy is over, Mr. Skeens. Why not help make safer drivers by making safer roads.

Let’s make hay while the sun shines. That is the motto of Herbert Foster of Flint Hill who reaped about 1,500 bales of hay from a seven-acre plot. “This has been a haying season,” said Mr. Foster, who added that “all of the nine or so barns on the farm are full and still more hay. This field produced over 200 bales per acre.” Si Sez PREACHER: “Friends, we have gathered here to pray for rain and I don’t see an umbrella in the congregation.” Lack of faith? It was my pleasure to hear some mighty good preaching last week. There was also special music and song, a rededication and a young man who said he ha4 been investigating religion. I hope he finds the answers he is seeking. I have seen some, in a spirit of enthusiasm, make comipitments they could not keep. It is better to know what you have the courage to follow through on, then follow the Path. He who went down before has shown us that it can be done. A little while ago I was looking at the sun as it seemed to rest on the top of Hot Mountain; when it goes down beyond the rim of the mountain it is probably two hours before sunset in the valley be yond. Even so, the words of Tennyson’s poem came to me: “Sunset and evening star, and one clear call for me.” Morbidity, maybe, did you ever hear the song “Sunrise Tomorrow?” While alone I have been catching up on some of my reading. Among some of magazines I receive is Modern Maturity. It seems that some of the elderly share my views on Euthanasia, not mercy killings as such, but to be allowed to pass through transition with all the dignity of a natural passing. In another magazine, dealing with philosophy, there is an article stating the impracticability of transplants into the human body, rejections and other complications considered. It has this to say about an artificial heart: “In ten years, a natural heart would beat about 360 million times without stopping. Our technology notwithstanding, there is no material available today capable of giving such a long, uninterrupted performance without cracking or fatiguing; in fact, none of the new wonder plastics can come anywhere close to heart muscle in this type of performance.” The Book says there is a time to die. Besides, why would someone want to continue to exist in a patched up body containing parts of several other bodies perhaps? One might be interfering with the Law of Karma. □ FIRE, RESCUE SQUAD NOTES Burnette Wise of Reva was taken from Fauquier County jail, Warrenton to Fairfax Hospital on August 19 by Washington Rescue Squad.

Hanna, director of the Highway Safety Division of Virginia, says in a plea for safe walking and driving during the upcoming three-day weekend. “Past years indicate highway deaths in Virginia during the Labor Day weekend greatly outnumber other holiday weekends,” Hanna said. “Last year during this same period, 29 persons were killed in Virginia, two more than the year before. This year we can and must reduce the number of Virginians killed.” Hanna predicted 800 deaths may mount nationally, but stated it is impossible to accurately guess a possible Virginia toll since in a relatively small area se veral multiple death crashes can raise the toll beyond expectations. Nationally, he said, they tend to average out: “This may well be the last weekend for most of us to fish, to picnic, or to travel until next year,” Hanna continued. “While planning your trip, have your car checked carefully. Use seatbelts and make frequent stops along the way, particularly during long distances.
