Rappahannock News, September 21, 1972

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1972 TEN CENTS ri.fip names slate, tax-exempt status announced % Rappahannock County High Cross Country team under the direction of coach John Toth is practicing for the season which opens September 30 with an invitational meet at Jafnes Wood. League competition will begin with a meet October at Warren County, who the RCHS coach says “will be hard to beat. They have a fine team this year.” On the local team are Bill Taylor, Charles Thomas, Tom Taylor and Carroll Jenkins, front row; standing are Ronnie Nicholson, John Summers, Andy Nichols and Bobby Titchenell, with manager Jerry Thomas and Mr. Toth. “ONE OF THE MOST influential organizations of its kind” — the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection — met last Friday night at the Court House in Washington, looked back over a productive year, elected officers, and prepared for a new year under a newly-designated tax-exempt status. Phil Irwin of Flint Hill, who was re-elected president, reported that the tax exempt status had been bestowed on the RLEP approximately two weeks ago. It means the end of the organization as something which “attempts to influence legislation,” but not as a force for environmental education, he said. Witold Kuncewicz of Flint Hill objected; he thought the old organization was sufficient, and thought that the tax-exempt features were not all that important. Irwin said they’d see. Other officers elected were: Ian Pryde, vice president; Mrs. Miriam Harris, secretary; Mrs. Helen Dawson, treasurer, Mrs. Patricia Saltonstall, public information officer; Mrs. Elizabeth Scherschel, representative to the Virginia Conservation Council; Mrs. Eileen Day, representative to the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors ; and Mrs. Marjorie Albright, editor of the newsletter. Main speaker for the meeting was Peter Borelli, Eastern representative of the Sierra Club, who told of nationwide efforts to curb strip mining excesses. BORELLI, WITH THE HELP OF a series of slides, described examples of what Irwin, in his introduction, called “one of the worst exploitations of the American landscape — strip mining.” As Irwin saw it, the question of strip mining and how to control it wraps up RLEP’s reason for existence: “What is the proper use of the land we are the custodians of?” (See page 14) * Campbell given life for Prince William murder Charles Manuel Campbell was convicted of first degree murder in Prince William Circuit Court on Friday, September 8, and sentenced to life in prison. A few weeks earlier he had been found guilty on four charges, including murder, in Rappahannock Watching purse strings HERBERT FOSTER IS THE Supervisor his fellow Supervisors look to every time a question involving money is involved, and he seldom disappoints them. A case in point occurred at the September meeting. Mrs. Virginia Smith, Rappahannock Commissioner of Revenue, appeared before the Board to say she’d like to attend an educational meeting of revenue commissioners October 5 and 6 in Williamsburg. There was a general indication of agreement among the Supervisors, but — as usual — there iyasa pause, and the members turned toward Foster. The moment of silence lengthened into maybe two moments of silence. Finally, Foster said: 111 go along with it - if it’s not too much.” He was told the charge would be $23 a night. “And all the steak you can eat?” he retorted, his eyes widening. “That’s cheap, Herbert,” th’s Attorney George Davis. soothed Commonweal□ County Circuit Court and received a sentence of 51 years. Campbell had been charged with the shooting of Charlie Enoch Womack Jr. of Delaplane on November 1, 1970 near Manassas. Ernest Moffett Smith had also been charged with the crimes in Manassas and in Rappahannock but died of lukemia in the Virginia State Prison Hospital in Richmond while awaiting trial. Both men were originially from Amiss ville, Rappahannock County. A Prince William County police officer found Womack alive in a driveway on November 1, 1970 near Manassas with gunshot wounds in the head. He died a short while later. The initial investigation of the murder proved futile until Campbell talked about the act to a fellow jail inmate in Fairfax County and wrote notes to Smith in a cell on another floor, where the two were being held on still other offenses. The murder and life sentence verdicts came after two and a half hours of deliberation by the jury following the trial which lasted over seven hours. Among the battery of witnesses was former Rappahannock Sheriff Charles K. Estes who, identified photographs of the car where the shooting reportedly occurred. He said he had observed Smith driving the vehicle many times with Campbell as a passenger, and had stopped them on numerous occasions, twice on July 1, 1971 and found a .22 caliber rifle in their possession. An FBI special agent, a firearms specialist, testified that the bullet in Womack’s body and cartridges found in the car were .22 caliber long rifle rounds and were fired from an auto-loading gun. Cellmates of Smith and Campbell in rairlax jail testified to conversations held with them when Campbell said, “I buried seven. Two were niggers. Shot one with a .22 caliber. Blood flew everywhere. He keeled over like a chicken.” Albert L. Morgan of Falls Church, currently serving a sentence in Fairfax for forgery, said Campbell told -him of shooting a black man in the car and throwing him in the ditch. He also said that when they, he and Smith, robbed a place, they would kill any witnesses. Morgan said he carried notes between Campbell and Smith who were in separate cells and that one note said, “As long as they don’t find Stringfellow it will be all right.” Another former inmate of the jail, Robert Linkous of Vinton, said one note which he saw said, “If they find Stringfellow, we’re sunk.” (See page 15)

SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 ' Political letters * IT HAPPENS AT EVERY election time, and this time has been no exception. A sincere, concerned citizen with a definite preference among political candidates, has written a letter-to-the-editor stating this preference and urging others to follow suit at the ballot box. Now this is a perfectly legitimate function of letters-to-the-editor, and newspapers like to make this column as much of a public forum as possible. But if we run one of these letters, then we must surely run one for the other side. And if one side or the other gets personal — and this seems to be inevitable where political exchanges are concerned — then the column becomes not a forum for public debate, but a means of carrying on personal arguments in print. We’re willing to listen to the case for the contrary, but right now we’re going to put the political preference letter aside and hope that everyone accepts our reason for, doing so. We want to emphasize here that this is only a tentative decision, .and that if compelling arguments for following a different policy are forthcoming we’ll be the first to admit our error. But political letters ca n be like poetry for a weekly editor: You print one poem and you’re deluged with offers — nay, demands — that you print the efforts of a thousand other poets or wouldbe poets. Life is difficult enough without inviting further complications. □ On being 'exempt’ . .AND SPEAKING OF BEING open to strong arguments, we’d like to hear some further discussion about the decision of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection to seek,, successfully, tax-exempt status. A member complained the other night, when this was announced, that the RLEP might lose some of its effectiveness by having to agree not to “try and influence legislation.” What is an organization like the RLEP worth if it doesn’t try to influence legislation? was the question asked. It’s a good question, and one that we feel deserves attention. Acquisition of a fat, tax exempt, treasury to use for “educational purposes” may be - nice, but really “influencing legislation” — for the better — can be even nicer. □ Barns Mrs. Virginia Facchina of Amissville will receive a free year’s subscription to the Rappahannock News for correctly identifying the barn in last week’s paper. Her name was drawn from the six entries. The barn was that on the property of Mr. and Mrs. Johnnie Hackley near Amissville. Others who correctly identified the barn were Mrs. Jamesley Dennis, Mrs. Evelyn Harrison, Mrs. Nancy Crossman, Mrs. Everett Smith and Mrs. Ethel Hall. PANTHER TALES by Susan Latham Pictures have been taken for the annual this year. The Seniors were taken Tuesday and the other four classes had theirs done Wednesday. It must take the Seniors a lot longer to look good than the rest of the school. The Seniors elected class officers Wednesday and the Juniors held a meeting Thursday. It seems that the Seniors have plenty of money in their class treasury from Cil, Charla and Mauri being the undefeated champions on Klassroom Kwiz television program. The Juniors still have some funds from magazine campaigns which will go toward the prom. I’ve heard some buzzing about the elimination of Senior exams. Many Seniors agree with this policy and will talk to the school board later. This is one more thing to look forward to in the Senior year. NHS officers were elected and they are as follows: president, Charla Sisk; vice president, John Summers; secretary, Mauri Raney and treasurer, I, Susan Latham. A president of the SCA will be elected Friday and candidates for the position include Charla Sisk, Cassie Frye and Moose Donaldson. Each made a short speech over the PA system Tuesday morning, so everyone should vote for the one of their choice. The Cross Country team will enter its first meet on September 30 at James Wood High and our support is really needed. It seems our team has been slightly crippled. Bobby Foster, Branson Jenkins and Andy Nichols have all been having physical trouble of some sort. The first girls basketball team at RCHS in years and years made a good showing Monday at Luray in the initial game but came home defeated. They are still optimistically looking forward to the next game which will be with Culpeper in October there. The Photography Club has increased its members and the meetings will con tinue to be held at the high school on Thursdays at 7 p.m. Tonight dues will be collected and the subject will be the loading and use of 33 mm film. M. G. has been voted number one by a committee of one. . . □ LIBRARY ♦ LINES How to be Accepted by the College of Your Choice by Benjamin Fine: This guide to the “ways and means of entering college” answers the important questions of collegebound students and their parents.

It is the story <Jf the price that was paid for that fortune in the consuming, single-minded determination of a man clawing his way to the top; in the bittersweet bliss of the love of a beautiful woman; in the almost too-late enjoyment of extraordinary children; and in a curse which uses the hand of fate to strike in the very face of success itself.” □

F' 0 X Area social service personnel meet at Syria AREA SOCIAL Services personnel participated in a community planning workshop held at Graves Mountain Lodge, Syria, September 14 for agencies from die proposed State Planning District Nine comprised of the counties of Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison, Orange and Rappahannock. Participants from the local welfare department included Elizabeth Buntin, superintendent, and Ellen E. Mustoe, family and childrens services worker. Also attending as guests were Extension Service agents from Culpeper and Madison; Howard Handorf, Extension Service Community resource developer, and Doris Longley, Madison Zoning Administrator. Recommendations were formulated to be included in a community profile for Planning District Nine. These recommendations follow an 18-month project by staff members of the five social agencies. A MAJOR recommendation is in favor of the formation of a planning district commission. This commission would be made up of elected officials of each jurisdiction along with Lord Fairfax adds Journalism courses Three new journalism courses will be offered at Lord Fairfax Community College, Middletown, beginning with the fall term, according to Dr. Harold G. McMullen, Dean of Instruc - tion. Sequence of the three courses is as follows: news writing and reporting, fall quarter; news editing, winter quarter; feature writing, spring quarter. The classes will meet at X2 noon each Tuesday and from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. each Thursday, at the college. Registration is in progress. Teaching the course will be Mrs. Myles Cogan, whose professional background includes a B. A. degree in journalism and eight years of professional experience. Mrs. Cogan was a staff writer for the Tulsa (Okla.) World; the Pasadena (Tex.) Citizen, and the San Antonio Light. Mrs. Cogan, who also has an M.A. Degree in English, is a full-time member of the English faculty at Lord Fairfax.

Phone 675-3566 citizen - members appointed by the participating governing bodies. Although District Nine is the only one in the state which has not yet organized, an organizational charter has been circulating for several months and has been approved by some of the governing bodies. Regional planning district membership is important in obtaining state and federal funds, some of which, such as federal HUD assistance, are currently unavailable unless there is a planning district commission. The resources of a single county could never match those of a coalition of counties, and the political benefits are equally apparent. The idea is that localities with needs in common join together to attain common goals. Once the Planning District Commission is formed, a professional staff would be employed with state and local matching funds. Social services de partments would continue to be supportive and active in pursuing their .own objectives for the betterment of their community in cooperation with the Planning District Commission. □ 1 THE COUNTRY STORE Washington, Virgini will be open for business this weekend.

For so many years they have been on the low side relative to nearly every production cost factor. Now, with the so called consumer advocates, political opportunists and headline writers sounding off about uncontrolled “high” farm prices, it is time for the people who remain on the land, and the people who represent them to make their side of the story heard loud and clear. U.S.D.A.’s Claude Clifford said it, “Who can say farm prices are too high when .. .farming as ,a business has had such low returns in last 20 years 2.4 million farms have gone out of business ... in the same period, 12-1/2 million farm people have left the land looking for better opportunities .. .even with 46% fewer farmers to share total income as 20 years ago, average income of farm people still only 3/4ths that of non-farm people .. . farmers and families are forced to supplement farming activity with off-farm work to reach even that 3/4th level? “We’d better get it told,” he said, “and understood, before subsidized food is made a national right for Everyone; and before farming becomes a public utility with regulated prices and production; and with farmers franchised to do business. Should that happen, the incentive that worked the modern food miracle will disappear, and all of us, plus 100 million Americans in the coming generation, will have to worry where mir food is coming from. Then this island of plenty will slowly sink into the ocean of humanity whose primary concern is hunger. Then ‘give us this day our daily bread’ will take on a new significance and we may then more readily see the miracle that has been ours, and which we took for granted.” □ Mr. and Mrs. D.V.

Male gypsy moths have now been trapped in a total of 41 counties in 9 states. Officials of USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service say that the destructive tree pest was probably brought to the new sites on recreational vehicles from the infested Northeast. □ -4 REGISTER aid VOTE We are proud of our Republican Candidates: NIXON * ¥ * AGNEW ROBINSON ¥ + * v scon Vote for voice of reason, experience and accomplishment.

Mrs. Nelson Corbin accompanied by Edward Pawley of Rock Mills visited Nelson Corbin Tuesday in Prince William Hospital, Manassas. Mrs. Corbinal Si Sez A FEW DAYS AGO I WAS indulging in one of my favorite pasttimes; reading the comics, and there was this character who goes into a store with a sign thereon which says “Herb Shop.” After said character gets into store and looks around he perceives that it is just an ordinary store, he remarks: “This ain’t no herb shop. Shopkeeper replies: “Yes it is, I’m Herb.” Well, my name is not Herbert and cannot use the nick-name Herb, yet 1 have been referred to as a sage. Must be the herb kind, the other kind of sage doesn’t fit. “A profoundly wise and venerable man” is my dictionary discription of a sage. ‘Fraid I cannot qualify. Wait! Venerate: to revere because of wisdom or age. In the latter I can qualify; maybe the lady meant I was just an old sage, the herb kind. In the Good Book, Psalm 90:12 “Teach us to number our days that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.” It seems that with a multitude of days we should acquire wisdom; ‘it ain’t necessarily so,” not in my case anyway. Perhaps I read another passage in Holy Writ that warned me not to seek knowledge. Over in Ecclesiastes 1:18 we find this admonition or warning. “With more wisdom is more worry, and increase of knowledge is increase of sorrow.” Do you wonder that I’m the Jolly Joe type? Christ said in effect, “Do not worry about tomorrow, tomorrow will have worries of its own.” A lady met me the other day and greeted me thus, “Hi, what do you know?” I replied, “Oh, a passel * - (lot) of little odds and ends, not much of anything.” So, you see I am not a sage in the accepted sense; I am not wise. There is a current motto that says, “Smile, God Loves You.” So, if you see me and I am grinning like the Cheshire cat, don’t be surprised; I’m happy because I believe He does. It is my hope that I can still grin and bear it till He calls my name. □ WE HELP YOU. ..—— w ii iwukji. Commonwealth.

Marsh, Execiitrix Washington, Virginia Phone: 675-3318 or 675-3369 John Walker Jenkins, Auctioneer RLEP meeting (From page 1) Borelli, while noting that strip mining has been mercifully absent from Rappahannock county, it has been a scourge in Southwest Virginia. Strip mining is such a danger, he said, because of its subsidiary effects; only seven percent, say, of a given area might be directly affected by the mining activity, but as much as 65 per cent of the surrounding area will be adversely affected by such things as acid runoff, erosion and burying of valuable topsoil. The slides showed graphic examples of strip mining outrages in all parts of the nation. Borelli noted that while some European nations have had similar experiences, they seem to be moving more forcefully to correct these bad situations, acting out “of a commitment to the land that we do not find in this country.” He was particularly high in his praise of Great Britain, “where you find a high level of a sense of stewardship of the land, and a high level of regulatory laws as well.” BY CONTRAST, IN THE UNITED STATES “we lack a true land ethic, in the words of Aldo Leopold.” As an example, he cited the Tennessee Valley Authority. “TVA, the environmental savior of the Thirties is one of the great polluters of the Seventies.” Borelli said few individual states have adequate laws to deal with strip mining. “In fact, the more you read some of the state laws the more you become removed from the problem.” Irwin thanked Borelli for his presentation with the thought: “I’m not sure there’s no coal under Rappahannock County. Are you?” THE ANNUAL BUSINESS SESSION followed, with committee reports received from Mrs. Day, Mrs. Scherschel, George Davis, Art Wright, Mrs. Dorothy Davis, Bob Dennis, and others. Irwin noted that the RLEP’s Potomac Edison committee had been disbanded because “it has done its work” — helped effect an abandonment of the company’s plan to stretch a high voltage powerline right down the middle of the county. It was this plan, indeed, that provided the RLEP with its organizational impetus. “However,” Irwin added, “it was necessary to form a Virginia Electric and Power committee almost immediately, to deal with a plan which is equally objectionable, if not more, and no more necessary than the Potomac Edison plan.” Irwin said “a committee of nine lawyers” is working on the Vepco powerline problem, and he said additional support is coming from Fauquier, Culpeper and Warren Counties. New state legislature legislation dealing with such things as the environmental impact of powerlines will also be helpful. Irwin said. George Davis told of the organization’s efforts against “an invasion by an army of surveyors,” and felt that the restraints on surveying activities ordered by Rappahannock Circuit Court Judge Rayner Snead “were much better than we had anticipated,” and “rather a landmark decision.” Concluded Davis: “We need electricity but we don’t need large numbers of powerlines everywhere the power companies say they do. . .” OTHER INTERESTS OF THE RLEP touched on included efforts to have the wilderness area designation of the Shenandoah National Park enlarged, and to obtain improved telephone service for the county. Mrs. Day thought further work is needed to press for preparation of a Master Plan for Rappahannock County, along with siltation and erosion control ordinances. By a show of hands, members present indicated they’d like to see the RLEP “look into the billboard problem,” but there was no great support at all for a proposal that they help obtain public tennis courts in the county. Support was also expressed for helping form commuter car pools, and for holding quarterly meetings which would feature such presentations as Borelli’s slide-talk on strip mining. A proposal by Mrs. Davis that “some sort of benefit program” be held to raise funds, in lieu of dues, received little or no support.

Foster who passed away four years ago September 19,- 1968. Nothing can ever take away the love our hearts hold, Dad. Precious memories linger and remembrances keep us sad. It was so sad to lose him, but he did not go alone. A part of us went with him when God called him home. Loving daughters and sons IN MEMORIAM In memory of Robert Alan Johnson who departed this life one year ago September 23, 1971. September brings back memories of our little one gone to rest. We who think of him today are the ones who loved him best. God needed another angel for His throne and that is why He called you home. No more pains, no more suffering as you had here, “Safe In the Arms of Jesus” up there. But we know our loss is your eternal gain, You are resting in your mansion God went to prepare, and When our life is over we will meet you up there. Your aunt, Geneva Burke Deadline October 7 Mrs. Joan Mahan, Secretary of the State Board of Elections, urges all Virginians who move their place of residence before the November 7, 1972 election to transfer their voting registration to the election district of their new residence. The last day to do this is October 7. Mrs. Mahan noted that if a voter fails to advise the registrar of his change of residence from one place to another, and the move occurred more than 30 days prior to the election, such voter may not be permitted to vote. Virginia law requires that a person to be entitled to vote must be a citizen of the United States, eighteen years of age, a resident of the Commonwealth and of the precinct in which he offers to vote and must be duly registered and otherwise qualified under the Constitution. “I encourage all voters of the Commonwealth to make certain that they are registered to vote in the precinct in which they are residing in order that they will be qualified to vote in the November 7 election. If a person is not regis tered in the election district where he lives, he should immediately appear before the General Registrar of the county or city where he is currently living and change his registration,” she said. “We hope to be able to train the public to change their voting registration when they move at the same time they change their telephone and other utilities and the address on their driver’s license and credit cards,” Mrs. Mahan continued. “It is extremely important that people realize that they cannot go back to the place they used to live to vote unless they have moved within the thirty days immediately prior to the election in which they offer to vote. “Voters are very unhappy when they go to the polls and the election official informs them that they cannot vote because they no longer have residency in that precinct,” Mrs. Mahan said. “If we can just teach people to change their voting registration at the time they move, everyone otherwise qualified to vote will be able to participate in all elections.” □ (Etfest funeral ^Jarlurs H.C.
