Rappahannock News, November 9, 1972

Nixon carries Rappahannock easily . —- - « /MwaiifJBni Scott, Robinson win The election trend in Rappahannock County was like that of the state and nation with the Republicans winning by a large majority. Nixon was far ahead in the final count with his total more than double that of McGovern on the Democratic ticket. Totals were 1055 for Nixon with 471 polled for McGovern. U. S. Senator William Spong lost his seat to William Scptt, a Republican and J. Kenneth Robinson retained his seat in the House of Representatives. He was opposed by Murat Williams, whom he had defeated in the previous election. Robinson did not quite double his vote over Williams. The point spread in the Spong-Scott race for the Senate was much less than the others. A misunderstanding concerning the eligibility of the 18 year olds to vote in anything but the presidential election was cleared after a check with the office of Attorney General Miller and the State Registrar’s office in Richmond. The young people were allowed to cast bal I lots in the House and Senate elections also. A large vote turned out in Rappahannock as well as the state and both amendments passed here. Direc- , tors for the Culpeper Soil \ and Water Conservation District were elected. H.S. Barksdale and H. W. Manwaring were named to these places. Both were on the ballot and there was no competition. A chart with precinct and candidate breakdowns appears in this issue. . In the first hour of the S election in Rappahannock ! County judges refused to I allow some teen-aged vot- j ers to vote in the Senator- I ial and Congressional ra.c- i es, but the error was corrected. Voting requirements had been misinterpreted by J. G. Carney, chairman of the Rappahannock electoral board who had in turn misinformed the judges. Therefore, for a short while, teen-agers were allowed to vote only in the presidential race. The discrepancy came to light after an unidentified Achievement Night THE RAPPAHANNOCK County Homemakers Clubs extend an invitation to the public to attend the annual achievement night to be held Monday, November 13 at 7:30 p.m. The program will be held in the Sperryville fire hall with the ladies of the Woodville club as hostesses. This is the time of the year when each club will have an exhibit showing accomplishments of the group for the past year. One of the main features is the silent auction table, the proceeds of which go toward a scholarship fund to be used by a local high school student. The “Club of the Year” award will be given and reading certificates will be presented those who have completed five books in various categories. The program will also include information on parks by a representative of the U.S. Park Service. Autumn leaves frame the Courthouse Supervisors decide plats are not their concern COUNTY ZONING Administrator E. A. McNear declined to approve two plats filed with him until the Board of Supervisors knew what was being requested, and then the Supervisors decided it was none of their business. Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis explained the situation at the November 2 meeting of the Supervisors. One of the plats was filed by C.D. Green, who has purchased four acres in Amissville and who wants to build four rental units. “He will put in a water system, and will put in a sewer system if necessary,” Davis added. But McNear had felt that approval by the Supervisors might be needed before the plat could be fil ed. Chairman Newbill Miller noted that since the units were to be for rent, and not for sale, the county’s existing subdivision ordinance does not apply. “The Zoning Administrator won’t issue a permit. He says it s up to tne Hoard,” Davis reported. “I think he (Green) is entitled but the Zoning Administrator won’t issue permits. I think it’s silly.” THE NEXT item refer

LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 More about barns WE WERE PLEASED TO NOTE in the November issue of Harper’s Magazine that appreciation of barns is not confined to the Rappahannock News (or its sister publication, the Piedmont Virginian). Harper’s features a series of striking color photographs, taken from a forthcoming book, “The Barn; A Vanishing Landmark in North American,” written by Eric Arthur and Photographed by Dudley Whitney (New York Graphic Society Ltd.). An introduction to the photographs states: “Nostalgia will not save the great nineteenth - century barns of North America. They are close to extinction already, and neither their neon reconstruction in roadside eateries nor their scavenged beams in the weekend ‘cabins’ of city dwellers will bring them back. “The barn and the church. The analogy is deeper than the symbol of the manger. For millennia, the barn and the church have shared the same basic plan, the basilican, in which the central aisle (threshing floor or nave) is flanked by two parallel aisles broken by bays that in the church become chapels; in the barn, stalls. No architects perpetuated this design, only anonymous men responding to tradition, the exigencies of nature, and the character of their work. “Feeding, storage, shelter — the simplicity of function was matched by strict economy of means to produce the most beautiful vernacular architecture in what was once the New World. . .” ONLY IS IT REALLY INEVITABLE that barns are “close to extinction already”? Perhaps near the editorial offices of Harper’s Magazine, but surely not in Rappahannock — where agriculture is still a viable activity and where the citizens have the same instinctive sense of rightness in their feeling toward barns in a rolling, rural landscape, as did the “anonymous men, responding to tradition,” who built them. As a matter of fact, some of Rappahannock’s barns are so new — further evidence of the viability of our agricultural economy — that the builder’s are by no means “anonymous.” So, while we share Harper’s appreciation of barns, we do not agree that they’re ready for an epitaph. □ Barns The barn last week was a familiar one which proved to be very pgpular with the barn spotters. It was that of Mr. and Mrs. Burnam Atkins on Fodderstack Road near Washington. Miss Sallie Lillard of Flint Hill is the winner of the free subscription to the Rappahannock News.

With such a great Junior class, the prom should be FANTASTIC. . . Group pictures for the annual were taken Tuesday. Pictures of the basketball team and cheerleaders will be taken at a later date since the team has not been chosen and Letters to the editor A word of praise for deer Editor: I would like to comment on Ms. Debergh’s recent letters concerning the “Anglo-Saxon word,’’deer. I was amazed at some of her obviously prejudiced ideas. She stated that deer are of no benefit to man. Obviously, she considered only monetary benefits. Deer represent that part of nature which, has re mained wild and free and beautiful. How can one verify the classification of the trophy whitetail, the world’s most evasive big game, as vermin? The serious tone of Ms. Debergh’s article might lead one to believe that we’re all going to be done in by those “dangerous” deer unless they are eliminated. I am sure our fears might be directed more wisely into other areas. The very idea of someone advocating the elimination of perhaps the most beautiful species of wildlife in Virginia “does, indeed, boggle the mind’’! Floyd T. Grigsby Blacksburg their uniforms have not arrived. The cheerleaders have begun practice, so if you see some girls moving around with stiff aching muscles, that’s the reason. Xhe varsity squad has practice twice a week while the JV’s have it only once each week, but for a longer period of time. Basketball squad hopefuls have been practicing also. The team will be chosen later in the practice sessions and will go on to play during the season. Miss Davis took several of her students to a French church in Washington, D.C. last Sunday. They all seemed to enjoy it and even ate cookies at the tea which followed while they were all conversing in French. Right on! Those who attended were Nanette Butler, Beverly Reid, Wendy Brown, Charla Sisk, Cassie Frye and Cil Davis. The F.H.A. is planning a Sadie Hawkins dance for November 17 . Mr. Flinchum will be the DJ again, so come along and enjoy yourself. It’s not live music, but it sounds better! The cross country team met Stonewall Jackson Saturday on the Rappahannock course and won with a score of 17-44. Charlie Thomas, Bill Taylor, John Summers and Ronnie Nicholson came in for the first four places, respectively. Bobby Titchenell completed the first five by taking 7th place and Moose Donaldson was 9th. The JV’s had a meet with Culpeper Tuesday afternoon. They put up a good fight but lost with a score of 24-32. Jerry Thomas and Carroll Jenkins each did their bit with an outstanding performance. The next and final meet is this Saturday at Williamsburg. This is the state cross country meet and we’re expecting great results from our team. Hope some of you can go. □

T H E L I T T L e F 0 X The Dog Problem Supervisors grapple with more canine considerations RAPPAHANNOCK’S Supervisors can’t seem to get by a meeting without another round of talk about the Dog Problem, and the meeting on Thursday, November 2, was no exception. Dog Warden Jack Bruce steered the conversation into an inquiry as to what the Supervisors expected of him in enforcement of existing dog laws. “With all the insinuations, and so forth, that have been going around,” said Bruce, “should we try to enforce the collar and tag law? If I see one without a collar or a tag, can I kill him?” The Supervisors declined to take any action specifically instructing Bruce to take such measures, but Chairman Newbill Miller and others pointed out that laws were put on the books to be obeyed, and that it was up to Bruce to enforce the dog laws. Commonwealfh’s Attorney George Davis concurred that “the dog situation is becoming critical — no doubt about that. And many dogs are going to get shot, in addition to there being damage to livestock, and to other things as well.” But the Dog Warden does not need any special instructions from the Supervisors to start enforcing dog control laws, the attorney added. WARDEN BRUCE brought up a number of dog questions after forwarding to the Board a claim for one buck owned by Walter Horton. Miller asked him if the claim was valid. “Well, yes and no,” replied Bruce. “Had it not been dragged and rassled with, I would have thought it was a bear. But it had been dragged and wound up in a branch. . .1 think it Huntly Miss Betty Rutherford returned home Thursday after a week’s stay in Warren Memorial Hospital, Front Royal. The Rappahannock Methodist Charge Conference is scheduled for Thursday evening, November 9, at 7:30, at Willis Chapel United Methodist Church. must have been a dog. If it had been on dry land, the way it had been eaten. . .” The claim was approved. On another claim, brought by Dabney Eastham, Bruce declared that “I refused to sign; he failed to let me see the sheep after it died.” Bruce said he had seen the sheep in question after an attack that killed three of Eastham’s flock, but that when he saw it, the sheep was still walking around the barn lot, even though injured. “Rapp Owens will verify this,” began Supervisor Herbert Foster. “I told him he was supposed to let me know after it died,” Bruce insisted. “I told him he was supposed to let me knovy.” CHAIRMAN MILLER summed up the situation. “If we get any further evidence, we can listen. But we can’t act on this today.” Warden Bruce then brought up another facet of the Dog Problem. “Is there anyone you could get to take care of these stray dogs?” he wanted to know. “I’ve picked up 30 since October 1, and the county has spent forty - some dollars for these dogs. And the kennels are just torn up.” Bruce went on: "l went to the mountain myself and took some posts to the sawmill and put up some kennels myself, and now they are about torn up. A high school teacher who hikes in the afternoon came up on this place, and she was right startled. “If I didn’t pick up a4ot of meat scraps at the Corner Store — the boys are good to give it to me — it would cost the county a lot more. Nothing would make me happier than to have someone take care of them.” In answer to some Supervisors’ questions, Bruce estimated that caring for stray dogs has cost the county between $100 and $150 a year over the past several years. “What do you do with the dogs eventually?” asked Mrs. Betty Coates. “I shoot them,” replied Bruce. “I have to keep them five days and then I shoot them.” BRUCE THEN veered off to another aspect of the Dog Problem. “I’ve been buying tags for 45 years, and I still see dogs running around without collars and tags. With all the insinuations and so forth, should we try to enforce the collar and tag law?” Herbert Foster said he’d better be careful to make sure some dogs hadn’t had their collars removed “so when they hunt they won’t get hung up.” “Have you ever seen one hung up?” asked Bruce. “I’ve run my hounds all rny life, and I never had one hung up.” supervisor h. b. wooa Jr. thought the Dog Warden would surely be able to “tell a good hunting dog from a stray.” Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis thought “it is up to the owner to make sure the dogs have a proper collar and tag. If a dog doesn’t have a collar, then the Dog Warden has a right to assume it’s a stray.” He suggested that the public be notified, “through the press of the situation, and let the owners be warned.” Bruce elaborated: “I was in a public place in Flint Hill and a lady said about all these stray dogs. She has an old house dog and she has never had a collar on him — so she was through right there — but she... A lot of people have been shooting their mouths off about dogs not being tagged, hut .. “If it s a law, tnen it should be enforced,” said Newbill Miller. “THE LAW requires a license to be displayed on the dog,” said George Miller. “It’s also up to Mr. Bruce,” said Herbert Foster. “He wouldn’t want to kill a good hunting dog.” “My place has been in a turmoil for the last 30 days,” commented Bruce. “People have been calling. You’d be surprised if I called some of their names. “Starting February 1, do you want me to summons them to court?” “If he’s violating a law,” said Davis, “yes. You could give a ticket to anyone who doesn’t have a dog collar or tag displayed on the dog. But it’s not up to the Board to tell you to enforce the law. The law has to be enforced.” Miller added: ‘‘If it’s the law, comply with the law. If it’s not the law, we’ll discuss it later.” JACK BRUCE had a final question: ‘‘About female German Shepherds; are they going to stay at $5 or $10 or is the fee $5 on all?” “It would suit me to have $10 for German Shepherds,” said Miller, “but the law says not. Would you check that, Mr. Davis?” George Davis said Rappahannock had acted under a special enabling legislation to establish a $10 fee for female German Shepherds, but that when the state law was re-codified, this enabling provision may have been repealed, along with all other existing dog laws. Attorney Davis agreed to research the statutes for a more definite opinion on this point. □ SAVINGS on Southern States SOW NOOGETS • $20.00 off on each ton purchased • 50* off on each 50-pound bag Stock up now on Southern States SOW NUGGETS.

Board joins mental health region, with a 'but* AFTER SOME further hesitation about being asked to sign i “blank oheck,” Rappahannock’s Supervisors agreed at their meeting Nc vember 2 to incl ide the co mty in a new mental health care regional alighmeit. The Rev. William Hargett and Mrs. Marilyr Lancaster of the mental health staf appeared to e> plain whai was involved, aid to answer quest ons,. The Board ‘lad refused to ac t on their request at the October meeting. The Rappahannock Board agreed to join the region cnly on the stated motion. that it will not cost the county mere than the $1,500 annually already being appropriated for meital health services. Mr. Hargett told the Bo ard he appreciated their “blank check frars,” but thought that improved care would cost more anyway, since “more people are being served and costs arc going up .. The county ha» no facil.ties for drug tr eatment, for instmce, anc if one drug case constitutes a drig problem, then I know we’/e had more than ■ one drug case in toe county.” IN ANSWER to i question abou. cost sharing from Mrs. Betty Coates, Mrs. Lancaster said that the county’s bill would relate “to what services you want to buy, and to what extent you want to get involved.” Mrs. Lancaster also noted that the county’s share can be computed in serv ANNUAL HARVEST SUPPER Saturday, November 18 At the old Forest Grove School Building Beginning at 5 p.m. Benefit Forest Grove Baptist Church Adult arid Carry Out Dinners $2.50 Children $1.25 The 52 PTO hp all-purpose hustler f°B°y FORD 4000 leads the field in better ideas . 52 PTO hp gasoline or diesel engines. .

We’re responsible to the taxpayers, and if you would set an amount, a budget.. .But to do it openly,'without a limit — it’s a blank check.” Mrs. Davis noted that “a county can withdraw from ' this program with two years’ notice.” The Supervisors smiled at each other.. “IF YOU want $2,000 instead of $1,500, why not ask for it?” insisted Newbill Miller. “Why not work out a two-year budget?” Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis then suggested that the Board draft a resolution stating a condition as to the maximum amount the Board was willing to spend each year in the regional program. Mr. Hargett wasn’t sure that this would be acceptable by the federal program which makes matching funds available. “Then if they won’t accept it on that basis, you can tell them to forget it,” said Davis. “I think it’s great and it’s something we need.. .’’began Mrs. Betty Coates. “Nobody disagrees,” said Miller. Mayor Andrew Kozik of Washington spoke from the audience: “Things like the Cancer Crusade have a budget and a program. I would have assumed that you could estimate ... what your costs will be.” Col. E. P. Luke wondered what services were offered in the regional program. Such things as drug information centers, day care for mentally retarded children, help in establishing sheltered workshops, aid for the aged, temporary foster care, &c., he was told. Mrs. Coates finally moved to join the regional program, “and limit our liability to $1,500 for a twoyear period.” The vote was unanimous. MRS. ELIZABETH BUNTIN, Welfare Superintendent, appeared before the Board later to see if the Supervisors were willing to approve a $150 hospital bill for a tonsillectomy required by a child in a family near Woodville. While several members of the family have jobs, their annual income comes out to only $3,800, county free rent. H. B. Wood. Jr. thought perhaps the family could pay the hospital bill without assistance. “They need help,” said Mrs. Betty Coates. “They are trying; we ought to help those who are trying.” She also recommended the University of Virginia Hospital for the operation, adding: “I know that family, and I know they make an honest effort.” “Let them make an honest effort this time, and then we might look at it again,” said Wood. “I prefer to look at it objectively,” commented Mrs. Buntin. “I prefer not to know the people involved.” Finally, on a motion of Herbert Foster, the request was tabled, on grounds that the operation is not “urgent.” the vote was unanimous. (Chairman Newbill. Miller had excused himself prior to this action.) Foster also asked to be relieved from membership on the Welfare Board. J.R. Latham was named to succeed him. □ FLINT HILL NEWS Mr. and Mrs. M. H. Brady Jr., with Mr. and Mrs. Manuel Pullen of Amissville, were weekend guests of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Hamilton at High Point, N.C.

The opening meet of the Rappahannock Hunt is most generally held at Stonehaven, home of Mr. and Mrs. George Muth, near Woodville. The hunters and hounds assembled in the front meadow at Stonehaven after a stirrup cup offered by the Muths, and departed in the direction of Fielding Mountain. Hunt has an enjoyable opening meet, but no fox By MARY JAMIESON OPENING MEET - Saturday, November 4, the Rappahannock Hunt had its traditional stirrup cup and congenial send-off on Stonehaven’s long lawn, that stretches forever out in front of Mr. and Mrs. George E. Muth’s 18th Century stone house. The libation board, (and that it was, my friends,) stationed between the standards of the Stars and Stripes and Sic Semper Tyrannis, exerted magnetic powers over both the hunt’s terra firma supporters and mounted participants. The Muths’s house guests — former foxhunter Mrs. Paul Richardson from Groton, Conn., and Mr. and Mrs. John C. Weedon of the Fairfax Hunt —assembled with county friends and hunt supporters to toast the occasion. The Stonehaven setting against the backdrop of that big paisley-colored Fielding Mountain, and the friendly style of the Muths’s opening ceremony, made it possible once again to fill with the excitement every foxhunter has at some time felt on the season’s first day of hunting! It’s that thrilling premonition that this season there will be more challenging and devious foxes, that this season the hounds will have keener noses and greater drive and speed, that this season your huntin’ horse will part with you less often in pursuit of the quarry!

Tel. 672-2811 IF THAT “old familiar feeling” was seen glowing on the faces of several seasoned hunters, it certainly was apparent in the big-eyed expressions of a number of our carefully turned out and able younger set. For instance, did you see Cil Davis, (a new Junior Member of the Rapp’s Hunt) and Libby Snead on her pony, Ad Lib, and Nina Metzinger with her long braids, and Patty Palmer and the Lehew grandson, both on their first official hunt? Well, all those bright eyes had it. Also, did you see Joanne Weakly, Ann Baumgardner, Diede Monroe and Pete and Janice Aylor and cousin Tommie? None are novices, but they certainly looked on the ready. It must be mentioned that a much admired and important hunting individual was noticeably absent: The great grey hunter Katie. Yes, Jim Bill Fletcher’s strong, trusted Katie, that we have all respected and been proud to be able to follow for the better part of two decades. (It is hoped she is now producing another worthy Katie.) THE HUNTSMAN Jimmie Dodson blew his horn, the hounds clustered around his horse’s heels, the Whips, Charlie Brown and Billy Dodson .swung in behind them, and Mr. Fletcher, our Master, lead us away from Stonehaven and up the draw onto the saddle of Fielding. After a considerable time of being stationed there while the hounds cast about, Jim Bill took us up to the mountain’s big top, (and I can assure you that’s way up there.) At last hounds were heard below. At that point there is no path to descend, but, undaunted, the Master put his big new roan horse straight down that long, long steep slope. Suddenly it seemed as though we were trying to follow Katie again; no matter how fast our horses slithered, bounced or bounded there was no keeping up. JIM BILL’S new horse is named Sam. He’s a bigboned roan with a questioning brown eye and hind quarters like a derrick. We probably will be hearing more good things about him as the season unfolds. The hounds could make nothing out, so the Huntsman collected the pack on Muth’s great lawn again before casting them onto the north side of Fielding. This time they ran to Slaughter Mountain. We pellmelled up and then hippetyhopped right down again, jumping into the open pasture high above the old 0’Bannon farm. What a blast of a view! It almost knocks you off the horse, all the way from Bessie Dell, below Woodville, up to Old Rag topping the Blue Ridge, and over against the ramparts of two-headed Turkey. Jim Bill swung west through the O’Bannon orchard up an to lower Fielding and eased toward Millie’s Cabin. At one pcdnt, leaving the orchard, Larry Lehew touched Mother Earth when his lit;le thoroughbred gave an extra airy jump over a drop fence. His son, returning at a gallop from the scene of the toss, was asked about this father: “Oh, he’s fine. He can still walk.” And we saw an unwilling pedestrian high above us wading through deep grass. AFTER THAT we galloped along a machinery road leading to a small plank bridge. Horses were veering and exploding as they came to it. Suddenly, we discovered why when Bill Fannon’s hard-going bay dropped his rear end through the planks. We extricated himself, so at the next bridge, Billy took the horse in the water for a drink, whereupon the horse nearly took Billy in the water for a bath. From Millie’s Cabin, hounds were taken to Mason for a last try. After more than three hours, during which hounds worked hard and honestly to hit a hot line, without success. The explanation for this blank day was apparent to the seasoned foxhunters who were there. Our meet had been carded for 11 o’clock, but the day turned out to be unexpectedly warm for November 4 and the leaf-covered mountain sides were surprisingly dry. Given those conditions, the foxes had wisely taken their breakfast runs considerably earlier that morning and were lying in for a midday siesta. Though the pack searched continuously, though they picked up a scent intermittently, they could not find a line that they could carry over the flighty dry leaf cover. REGULAR HUNT members out for opening meet were Clifford Miller, Bucky Fletcher and young Bill Fletcher, up from Richmond; Witold Kuncewicz, Michael Marsh, Ardothand Paula Bendlange, BillFannon, Dutch Eastham, Sandra Massie and Mary Jamieson. Guests who joined us were Louise Catulla of Alexandria, Phyllis Reese, Larry Lehew, his son and grandson from Front Royal, John Will and his son from Culpeper, and Otis Owen and his daughter from Fairfax. A CLOSING accolade for our junior contingent. At 4 o’clock on thatsplendid, colorful afternoon, we all gathered at the Ski Lodge for the Hunt Breakfast given by Mr. and Mrs. Muth. (Mr. Muth is the wise and generous president of the Rappahannock Hunt.)

A thousand sweet memories are holding her fast, To the place that she blessed with her presence and love. “OUR FRIENDS, like fruit from the tree of life, are falling one by one.” We miss them, hoping that through the goodness of God they have found a better home. A few nights ago a lad called on the phone (not to talk to me, however), but courteous lad that he was he did ask about me, full of commiseration that I might be lonely. I told him that I had been a loner about all my life, that I was accustomed to being alone. It is true, however, that when you love some one and become used to uiem Deing near, yuu hum them when they are not. Cannot say I am actually lonely very often. I have a FRIEND. “Enoch walked with God, and he was not, for God took him.” A child was asked to write the story of Enoch. This is what she wrote: “Enoch and God were friends. They would take long walks together. One day God told "Enoch to come over and spend the day with Him. He went and that day has never ended.” There is something to this walking with God, it has its benefits. □ Clore Funeral Home ! * “The Home of Thoughtful Service” \ t Culpeper, Va.

RAPP CHATS By RAP OWINGS Extension Agent MORE AND MORE FARMERS are shifting to fall and early winter fertilization of cool season pastures. Practical experience and research combine to give the go-ahead on this practice. In fact, V.P.I. agronomists say that fall, winter or early spring is the best time to fertilize pastures and anytime during the year is the best time to apply lime. Research results are proving that considerably more root growth takes place during the relative warm periods that often occur during the early winter and early spring than previously believed. Grasses that have received the proper plant nutrients can take full advantage of this early root growth and are in a healthier condition to kick-off and compete in the spring. The amount and kind of fertilizer to apply should be based on carefully taken soil samples. The percent desirable grass and clover, soil type and past fertilization practices should be taken into consideration. Usually pastures that have a high percentage of desirable grasses and are located on good productive soil can afford a higher rate of fertilization. Productive pasture, like any other crop, gives the highest return for the fertilizer dollar invested. Generally, tall grass and ladino-clover pastures should be top-dressed each year with 0-50 pounds of nitrogen (depending on percent of clover, etc.) and ' 40-100 pounds each of P2 05 and K20 per acre. Bluegrass and white clover can usually be maintained by top-dressing every three or four years with 100-150 pounds of P2 05 and 80-150 pounds of K20 per acre. Superphosphate will do the job in some instances. Nitrogen should be applied as needed. Don’t guess — TEST. Take soil samples now. And help me to do a better job of helping you by giving me enough information to make a worth while fertilizer recommendation. Congratulations to Tommy and Louise Eastham on receiving the Outstanding County Conservation Award. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer couple.

Although Vepco in its S.C.C. application of August 24 states that it has considered other routes and methods and found them not possible, RLEP and its affiliated leagues in Warren and Fauquier have developed a case which they feel is more than sufficient to justify S.C.C. denial of the required Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity.

Supervisors decline to act on plats red to the Board by McNear concerned Chester Weaver’s desire to divide up the family farm in a manner that will increase existing lots already owned by his sons and daughters. “It amounts to enlarging smaller pieces, and the children have already isaid it will not be for re-sale,” Nixon person called the office of the State Attorney General. This office contacted the office of George H. Davis, Commonwealth’s Attorney for Rappahannock, and the situation was straightened out. Those who had been turned away were contacted and told they should return to their polling precincts and vote. □ Davis said. Miller thought this was agreeable, with the stipulation that the “enlarged parcels should become part of the original parcel, so it will be treated as one parcel in the future, under the subdivision ordinance.” All members agreed. In other business before the Supervisors relating to construction, the Board decided to take no action on adoption of an Electrical Code for Rappahannock County. “I had a discussion with Mr. Davis and several calls and now I don’t think we’re quite ready to pass a law like this,” said Miller. “I think it needs a complete, thorough study of the whole structural field before we get into anything like this.” “Why not pass an ordinance for inspection of standards followed in the national code?” asked Mrs. Betty Coates.

Positions to be filled December 1, 1972, with hourly employment commencing immediately, if desired. Interested applicants should apply at the Wqrrenton Residency on Warrenton By-Pass, Warrenton, Virginia, on November 15, 1972, between the hours of 4:00 and 4:30 p.m. Applicants must be a high school graduate or equivalent. Salary range from $410 to $470 per month. No experience necessary. AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER “Even the Underwriter’s Code has some discrepancies,” replied Miller. ADDED GEORGE Davis: “I don’t see any point in passing any ordinance dealing with structural matters unless we have a county government which is willing to appropriate sufficient money to administer those laws. “I would say, let each person be on his own, and if he puts up a house where the wiring is such that he burns down his house, then it’s his loss. An individual can e ither call the Unde.'writers himself, or hire a competent electrician to do the work ... I don’t think we’re prepared or know enough about it to have a reasonable Electrical Code.” Mrs. Coates said that was all right for individual home owners, “But I’m concerned about people who build and rent to others.’ MILLER AGREED that this could possibly involve “ppysical harm and property loss,” but the number of new units being built for rental purposes was so small in Rappahannock that this didn’t constitute a major problem. C. C. Gasch, an electrical contractor, added: “I say t’s good (to have a code), but it needs more study. There’s no use in passing something that’s not right.” Mayor Andrew Kozik of Wasiington, also speaking from the audience, agreed. Co.. E. P. Luke, another observor, thought a word of advice from :he Board to the public about the desirability of having the best wiring installed might be in order. The vote to table consideration of an electrical code, indefinitely, was unanimous. RESIDENT Highway Engineer James Skeens appeared before the Board to announce that he is being “promoted and transferred” to Richmond, to work in the Urban Division of the Siate division. Skiens expressed appreciation for the: cooperation he h id received from the Rappahannock Board, and he thought the county “has made considekable progress, to the point where you have a reasonably good network of roads, by comparison with other counties.” At Newbill Miller’s suggestion, a resolution ex Mr. and Mrs. George Muth graciously received the Rappahannock Hunt for its opening meet Saturday at the Muth’s farm Stonehaven near Woodville. The autumn scenery was still to be enjoyed by the field which was entertained with members by Mr. and Mrs. Muth for the hunt breakfast in the early evening at the ski lodge near Washington. pressing appreciation for Skeens’s local service was passed. Herbert Foster made the motion. “I want you to note that Mr. Foster’s the one who’s always been getting, on you,” grinned Miller. “We’ll work on the other one,” Foster grinned back. Two representatives of Supt. Robert R. Jacobsen of the Shenandoah National Park appeared, but were referred by Miller to the Board’s solid waste committee. Park officials have expressed interest in the possibility of contracting with Rappahannock for sanitary landfill disposal of park trash. □ AN R C QUALITY THEATRE NOW THROUGH TUESDAY Evenings at 7 and 9 p.m. Matinees Saturday-Sunday at 2 p.m. Rated “X” No one under 18 admitted.
