Volume XXm. Number 48 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA • THURSDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1972 TEN CENTS Fuller auction benefits library By G. W. O’CONNER UNDER GRAY skies and cool temperatures an auction of the estate of the late Helen M. Fuller was held at her residence on Long Mountain near Washington, Va. Saturday, September 30, following a gathering in the Rappahannock Library in the county seat “to celebrate the living spirit of Helen Fuller” as George H. Davis Jr., one of the executors of Miss Fuller’s will, described it. A highlight ot the auction was the sale of an oil painting called “Two Women” by the well-known Mexican muralist, Diego Rivera who died some 15 years ago. Spirited bidding by the owners of three galleries — the Sporting Gallery, Inc. of Middleburg, the Agra Gallery of Washington, D. C., and the Greer Gallery of New York City — resulted in the picture finally going to David Greer for $15,500. Though small, 16” by 20” compared to the large murals for which Rivera is best known, the picture revealed his characteristic treatment and the lifelong “empathy of the artist with the people of his native country.” THE GRAPHIC arts were not solely represented by 1 the Rivera painting. One Meschler etching brought $3,100 (going also to Greer’s collection), and a second print by the same artist went for $1,400. An oil painting by the French artist Guerrier was bought by Mrs. Dorothy Davis for $650 and a small Renoir etching sold for $260. Six paintings of Miss Fuller’s close friend, HelVoting deadline Voters who have not already done so are reminded that Saturday, October 7 is the last day on which you may register to vote in the November election. The registrar’s office located in the courthouse in Washington will be open all day for this purpose on Saturday from 8 a.m. until noon and from 1 p.m. until 5. □ en Gahagan Douglas, went to new owners, one of these being Greer. Among furniture items that were auctioned, the highest price, $735, was obtained by a “Wurrn Snnr” chair made for Oxford University, England, 1710, dated and signed by the cabinetmaker and accompanied by papers authenticating all the details of origin. Six American Windsor matched side chairs brought nearly $400 and remained in the county. All of the net proceeds of the $28,000 sale will go to the Rappahannock Library, in accordance with the wishes of Miss Fuller, to establish a trust fund in her name, the income of which is to be used particularly for the benefit of young users of the Library — their “mental and spiritual growth being an abiding concern of Miss Fuller.” Contributions to the Fund will be welcomed, Library officials said. THE SALE concluded what could appropriately be called “Helen Fuller Day” in the community of which she was for years a vital part. The impact of her career of penetrating observer of the national scene and active worker for the betterment of all whose lives she could touch was attested to in the informal meet ing of many who had long known her, at the library in Washington beginning at 10 a.m., with opening remarks by Executor George H. Davis, Jr. and Helen Gahagan Douglas, one of Miss Fuller’s two executrixes, and a prayer by the Rev. Mr. Hargett of Trinity Episcopal Church, Washington. Mrs. Douglas, wife of the prominent actor Melvyn Douglas — who was prevented by commitments in California from being present — and nationally known for her career in the U.S. Congress and on the professional stage, began her reminiscences with a recitation of a movingly spoken short poem by Emily Dickinson, the nineteenth century American poetess for whose poetry Mrs. Douglas shared a deep admiration with Miss Fuller. THEN FOLLOWED the reading of a telegram from ex-President and Mrs. Lyndon Johnson, which said: “Born before her time, Helen Fuller was an advance trumpet heralding us to awareness and compassion for all people.” We join you in honoring her memory, (signed) Lady Bird and Lyndon Johnson.” The telegram will be framed and hung in the Library. After the telegram came short glimpses of Miss (See page 15) Rural carrier retires CHARLIE COMPTON, who served patrons of Rural Route 1, Amissville, for 31 years, has retired. Seldom did the rain, snow, sleet; etc. ever deter the dedicated “mailman” from his journey. He has covered the most extensive route in the state, some 85 miles serving almost 400 households, for this length of time. When Mr. Compton first became associated with the U. S. Post Office Department, the office was housed in the small building beside Hackley’s Store and at that time the late Irwin Hackley was Postmaster. The office was next moved to the former Latham store building in 1933 and Mrs. Ethel Cooksey became Postmaster. She has in recent years retired, and the position is presently held by Mrs. Alma Nethers. From there the Post Office was moved to a new building in the late 40’s where it has remained until the past Saturday when it was moved again into a different part of the former Latham building now owned by Mrs. Francis Leonard. Lullwater Nur^ sery which had been located thgre has been reestablished at the Leonard farm on the Viewtown road. Helen Gahagan Douglas — former Congresswoman and wife of motion picture and stage actor Melvyn Douglas — was one of the executors of Helen M. Fuller’s estate, and helped preside at an auction last Saturday for the benefit of the Rappahannock Library. Charlie Compton has retired as rural letter earner from Amissville post office after serving in this position since March 16,1931. His retirement will be effective October 6.

SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Mutual reminder DURING THE PROGRAM for the late Helen Fuller held at the library last Saturday — a library which benefitted handsomely from the auction of the Fuller estate which followed — a man who is not of Rappahannock County, and who did not know anyone present to any great personal degree, felt compelled to add his thoughts to those that had been previously expressed. This man from New York* told of how this was his first visit to the county, and of how the visit had made him aware of how much he had lost sight of in the grass roots strength of America. Whether he accomplished the purpose of his mission as an art buyer did not count so much, he said, as this lesson which had been impressed upon him. It’s something thatJ all of us tend to take for granted. Here we are, living in the midst of one of the most beautiful landscapes on the face of the earth, among people many of us have known and worked with all our lives — how could we imagine what this man from one of the world’s mightiest cities had been missing from his own life? WE SHOULD BE GRATEFUL, too, for what he said and how it should serve to remind us of how truly rich and fortunate we are to be in Rappahannock County^ in the highlands of rural Virginia, close to nature and our neighbors. Let’s try not to ever forget how fortunate we are. C Tour is enlarged ONE OF THE HOMES open for the House Tour and Dried, Flower Sale on October 21 and 22 sponsored by the Episcopal Churchwomen of Bromfield Parish will be Thornton River Farms at Viewtown, owned and occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Isaac L.

PANTHER TALES by Susan Latham The magazine campaign at RCHS is off to a great start with the Junior girls selling $200 worth of magazines over the weekend. We became the high class for Monday and Cheryl Poling of Amissville was the high salesman. This project provides the SC A with its working funds for the year so we’re hoping for a good show of support. The campaign ends Monday and if you have not been contacted get in touch with a student and give the SCA a boost. The Juniors and Seniors went to Warden County High School Tuesday for College Day Tupsday and at this time 'fepresentatives from many colleges throughout Virginia were present to talk with students. Although the bus was slightly crowded we had a fine time. The girls basketball team is at it again. They have a game scheduled with the Culpeper Junior Varsity on Saturday at 10 a.m. at the junior high school there. This promises to be an exciting event. The cheerleaders are busy selling stadium pillows, so be sure to get yours. They will be on sale all through the season or as long as they last. These funds will help with the purchase of uniforms which will be needed soon. Check with a cheerleader and get yours early. The Senior Class held a meeting Tuesday to discuss plans for the Senior Ring Dance. The tentative date for the dance is October 27 at the school. The cross country group is making a good beginning this season anda complete report is published elsewhere in this issue.

T H E L I T T L E r Q X Virginia’s economy shows big surge in August VIRGINIA’S ECONOMY moved ahead strongly in August, and indications are that improvement will continue into future months, according to J. Gordon Gifford, editor of the Virginia Employment Commission’s magazine Economic Indicators. “This month’s showing was the best since publication of the magazine began in June 1967,” he said. Writing in the September issue, Gifford said that 16 of the 18 indicators used to measure the state’s economy rose in August, one declined and one was unchanged. “All six of the indicators which show changes in the economy earliest were up in August, suggesting that the improvement will continue,” Gifford said. THE MOST notable improvement in leading indicators was a decline of 47.8 per cent in average weekly claims for unemployment insurance compensation. Gifford pointed out, however, that these claims were unusually high ii\July because of people temporarily knocked out of work by tropical storm Agnes. Nonfarm job placements V Wildlife plants are available The Virginia Division of Forestry has announced a new program whereby interested individuals may purchase a variety of proven wildlife food plants for -w use in establishing habitat. Currently available are Autumn Olive, Bicolor Lespedeza, and Bristly Locust at a price of $2.50 per hundred with a minimum order of $2.50.

The projects, approved by the Federal Programs Office of the Department, are financed under Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965. The projects and allocations are: Warren County — $64,736 to provide reading instruction for 335 pupils in grades one through three and in grade seven. Speech therapy services are included. Shenandoah County — $91,577 to provide reading instruction for 370 pupils in grades one through three. Speech therapy services are included. Rappahannock County — $45,940 to provide reading and special education instruction for 226 pupils in grades one through four. Frederick County — $75,000 to provide special education instruction and other classes of special needs for 112 pupils in grades one through three. Speech therapy services are included. Winchester — $41,249 to provide reading instruction for 121 pupils in grades two through four and six. Medical services are included. □ by the VEC rose sharply in August, increasing by 10.1 per cent over July. Total hiring, new hiring and the length of the average workweek in manufacturing production were also up. Total unemployment was down in August to 3.2 per cent from 3.3 per cent in July, and a sizeable gain — an increase of 14.4 per cent over July — was registered in job openings received by the VEC, Gifford said. “NEW VEHICLE registrations, at 39,700, were the highest on record,” Gifford said. “And August is generally a mediocre month at best for registrations. This probably was the result of people rushing to buy the last of the 1972 models in anticipation of a substantial price increase on 1973 models.” The valuation of building Bridge club Mrs. Fred W. Schaefer was hostess to the Sperryville Bridge Club and additional guests on Friday night at her home. Those present included Mrs. Carroll Quaintance, Mrs. J.P. Snead Jr., Mrs. T.J.

Prize winners were Mrs. Tabler, Mrs. Reeve, Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Pillar and Mrs. Cordle. □ Officers named At a meeting held September 29 at the Chester Gap fire hall officers for 1972-73 of the Rappahannock Fire and Rescue Squad Association were elected.

Barksdale of Flint Hill. □ permits issued in August rose by 68.2 per cent over July, while electric power sales and bank debits rose more moderately. The only declining indicator during August was average weekly earnings of manufacturing production workers, down 390. Gifford said this decline is so insignificant that it may easily be wiped out by subsequent revisions. All 18 indicators were above their year ago levels, and by substantial amounts in most instances. □ VILLAGE SHOP Main St. - Flint Hill TOYS BY TEENIE Come See Tues. Wed. Fri.

RAPP CHATS AREA FEEDER CALF and yearling prices have1 been holding strong. Last Thursday’s CulpeperRappahannock County Sale was no exception. Here’s a brief round-up: 840 steers, average weight 518 sold for an average price of $47.99. 531 heifers, average weight 465 sold for an average price of $39.81. 1,371 steers and heifers averaging 497 pounds sold for an average of $45.03. Top pen of steers $53.30; Top pen of heifers $43. More than 200 steers brought over $50.00 per cwt. Buyers from Ohio purchased 39% of the calves; Pennsylvania, 24%, Indiana 19%, Virginia 16% and Delaware 2%. After watching at least half of every consignors’ calves graded, this is my non scientific eyeball . evaluation: Calf prices corresponded reasonably close to grade. That is the top grading calves commanded the top prices and so on down the line. . Believe Graders are doing a better job of sorting cattle according to buyers’ preference. Percentagewise, Rappahannock calves graded higher and sold for the top dollar. PERCENT OF ‘SHORTS’ ARE DOWN.

16 is minimum age for drivers Upon receipt of a ruling from Virginia Attorney —General Andrew P. Miller, the Virginia Division of Motor Vehicles has announced that effective immediately, a person must be 16 before he can secure a learner’s permit to drive a car. Previously a-person could obtain a learner’s permit at the age of 15 years and 8 months. It was discovered that two paragraphs were inadvertently omitted from an existing law that was being amended to lower the age of majority to 18years. One paragraph contained the authority for DMV to issue the learner’s permit at the lower age, and the second paragraph contained the requirement for revalidation of a minor’s op erators license, which is now no longer required. The Attorney General has also ruled that DMV must collect the uninsured motor vehicle fee as required prior to July 1. Due to a ■. technicality in the chronological order in whict the Governor signed certain bills that were passed by the 1972 General Assembly the old UMV fee of $50 must be collected, rather than the new fee of $100 which has been collected by DMV since July 1, 1972. All persons who have paid the $100 fee since July 1, 1972, will be receiving a $50 refund as soon as verification can be made to the State Treasurer’s office. Delegate John L. Mel nick from ^Arlington, chief patron of the bill designed to raise the UMV fee said: “I am disturbed about the situation, since both DMV and I had worked jointly in an effort to have the bill passed. We will again work together in the upcoming 1973 General Assembly to rectify this obvious mistake in the law.” 1 D OUR BIGGEST FALL SALE EVENT With hundreds of exciting values for you, your family and home Sale extends from October 5th through October 14th with savings up to 50% on every sale item / Open Thursday & Friday night until ?pm "Tfc* Valloy’t Outttanding Storm" FRONT ROYAL, VA.

Rappahannock cross country team opens season Roger Flinchum — RAPPAHANNOCK’S state championship cross country team began its second season this past week by participating in the James Wood Invitational at Winchester Saturday and a dual meet with Montevideo Tuesday. The James Wood Invitational Meet was run on a cold rainy Saturday morning over a slippery 2.4 mile course through a Frederick County apple orchard. Charles Thomas started his running career here last year by finishing sixth. This year he was second with a time of 11:43. Bill Taylor finished tenth to also claim a trophy in the large field of top class northern Virginia runners. Eighth grader Jerry Thomas, brother df Charles, entered the junior varsity division in addition to attending his duties as team manager, and finished a strong second in his first race. On Tuesday, the Panther pacers traveled to Monteyideo High School and destroyed that squad by finishing 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 12, tnd 13. The Rappahannock finishers were, in order, Charles Thomas (a new course record) Bill Taylor, Tom Taylor, John Summers, Jerry Thomas, Ronnie Nicholson, Bobby Tltchenell, Andy Nichols, and Morris Donaldson. The final score was 16-43 Rappahannock. The low score wins in cross country and a team’s score consists of the total of the places of its first five runners. Perfect score is 15. Rappahannock missed it by one point. Jerry Thomas ran unofficially and placed an unofficial fifth, beating the entire Montevideo team. Montevideo’s fine squad has already defeated two other district teams which makes the feat most impressive. THIS SUCCESS is due to hard work by the individuals on the team and their fine coach, John Toth. A conservative estimate is that the nine or ten regulars on the team have run 5000 miles since this time last year. Perhaps more than any other sport, this one rewards work with sue Tom Taylor and John Summers on the second lap of a cross country event at Montevideo.

REAP guidelines are announced for coming year The U. S. Department of “Agriculture has announced a 1973 Rural Environmental Assistance Program (REAP) that will strengthen conservation and diminish air and water pollution. Through REAP the Federal government shares with farmers the cost (usually on a 50-50 basis) of carrying out needed conservation and environmental protection measures on their farms. Practices emphasized are those which help to provide long-range preservation of the environment and return greater benefits to the public. The initial funding level for 1973 will be $140.0 million, the same as the initial funding for last year’s program. The $140 million level reflects the effort of the Administration to hold down federal, spending to help control inflation and reduce the need for a tax increase. A final decision regarding the program level will not be made until determinations are made on overall spending targets. Farmers will receive Federal cost-sharing for these new practices: (1) Installation of excess water management systems where they are essential to combat adverse environmental conditions such as water pollution from contaminated water runoff caused by high water table, or incomplete recycling of animal or human waste, sedimentation, and salinity or alkalinity; and (2) use of conservation tillage on a demonstration basis to reduce soil loss from land devoted to intertilled (row) crops. Also, the 1973 REAP expands the authority to costshare for practices to solve agriculture-related air pollution problems. In the past, cost-sharing for pollution abatement was limited to those practices with soil and water conservation benefits. County committees will develop their 1973 programs within national program guidelines and will have opportunity to keep some or all of their 1970 county practices as was the case for 1971 and 1972. The following conservation and environmental protection features'will receive high priority during the coming year: Establishing permanent vegetative cover; improving or protecting perman ent vegetative cover; developing facilities for livestock water; water impoundment reservoirs; constructing terrace systems; diversion terraces, ditches or dikes; permanent wildlife habitat; animal waste storage and diver sion facilities; sediment retention and water control structures; sediment or chemical runoff measures; disposal of crop, orchard or woodland residues without burning; and disposal pits for solid waste. Agricultural Stabiliza tion and Conservation Service administers the program through its farmer elected committee system. Technical and educational assistance is provided by Soil Conservation Service, Forest Service and Extension Service. □ U.S. Postal Services machines and equipment arrived in Amissville early Saturday morning to begin the task of relocating the post office in that village. A wrecker was used to transport the heavy iron safe across the road to its new home. PAID POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT EVERYONE WELCOME To opening of CONGRESSMAN J.

rA celebration for a patriot-in Rappahannock (From page 11) Fuller’s life recalled by numerous friends. ^ Leon and Mary Keyserling, widely-known in the world of economics; Mich ael Straight, son of the founder of the “New Republic” magazine and associated with Miss Fuller on the magazine of which she became managing edi „ i, tor in 1952; Mrs. India Edwards, longtime head of the National Democratic Party; Mrs. Susan Hill Ingersoll; and from the county; Mrs. Dorothy Davis, Mrs. Helen M. Fuller with Eleanor Roosevelt, Miss Fuller, who later edited the “New Republic” and who was counted among pioneer New Dealers, died September 15; she had lived for years in Washington, in Rappahannock County. Anne Keyser, Mrs. Mary Jamieson and Mrs. Katherine Oettinger. & A light collation, arranged for by Mrs. Emily Miller, was supplied by a number of Miss Fuller’s friends and contributed to the sense of continuing admiration and affection for Helen Fuller’s purposeful life. “IT WAS NOT a memorial service,” George Davis emphasized, of the Library program. “It was a celebration for the living spirit of a patriotic American.” Miss Fuller had lived in Washington since about 1950. “She was not an orthodox person. She was not ai conformist, she was not a traditionalist — she was completely a free thinker,” said Davis. “Mr. Greer of the art gallery in New York was so moved by the proceedings in the Library that he got up and said he felt compelled to say something.

Of the 400 retired teachers residing in the region, 207 are members of the association. Rappahannock, with 21 resident retirees, has no local organization. A boutonniere honored the oldest member present, Miss Theodora Cox of Milwood, Clarke County. She is 84. A “hobby show” toward which members contributed hundreds of original items of an artistic feature items of an artistic nature was organized byQ. Damon Gasque of Front Royal, district governor of Rotary International. Gasque also arranged a panel presentation of five of the areas in which retired teachers are of special service to their communities. Mrs. Harcourt Lees, Warrenton, outlined the voluntary services of retired tgachers to the local hospitals; Mrs. Mark Collins, Front Royal, explained their service to libraries; Mrs. Frances Mayse, Purcellville, outlined Community Instruction; Miss Bertha Norman, Culpeper, Legislative Service; and George Grove, Hamilton, Recreation and Travel. MISS GAYLORD GIBSON Front Royal, former president, made a tentative report on a proposed Committee on Informative andi Protective Services, which would “serve the membership in matters of adequate housing, standards for extended-care nursing homes, health resources,and warnings concerning frauds and swindles.” Mrs. Irene Perrow, Remington, president for the past year, reported that the Virginia Retired Teachers Association had doubled the number of county locals during the year, now enrolling 2,708 members, and that the National R.T.A., headquartered at Ojai, Cal., now en rolls 6,401 members in Virginia. A special “after lunch” session was held “to adopt a constitutional amendment making officers’ terms two years.” Miss Carroll Williams, a retired teacher who lives at Washington, Va., attended the association meeting. She said, “The colorful exhibits added an interesting touch to the day’s activities.” Her display was of her homemade crab apple jelly of which she was justly proud. “There was so much beauty inside, I don’t think anyone realized how hard it was raining outside on the damp, foggy day,” said Miss Williams. □ BOSTON NEWS By MRS.
