Rappahannock News, November 23, 1972

Volume XXIII, Number 55 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA • THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1972 _TEN CENTS How to build a chair lift The only way to get 30-foot steel towers into place for a new chair lift at the Rappahannock Ski Area near Washington, Va., was by “sky hook,” so a H-58 Sikorsky helicopter was called in to do the job. Blackie Corning of Perkasie, Pa., had to fight cross winds of up to 50 mph in getting the job done Monday, and only dropped one. Robert Palmer, manager of the ski area, didn’t mind — he remembered worse things, like last year’s snow-less, frostless winter. He’s hoping for better things this year on Rappahannock’s slopes. The ski area is under new management this year. (Photos by John R. DeBergh) 92 deer checked in GAME APPARENTLY IS ABUNDANT this year and the deer kill for the first two days of the hunting season was almost double that of the previous year. According to the five checking stations in Rappahannock County, 92 deer had been checked by Tuesday night. The total kill for the first two days in 1971 was 58. According to Game Warden Irvin L. Kenyon some illegal shooting had taken place. A doe and two fawns were killed and left in the field near Flint Hill. Apparently the hunter became alarmed and left without his quarry. The incident is under investigation. A doe’s head was also found near the Covington River, indicating an illegal take. Game stations reporting were: Flint Hill 25; Washington 20; Chester Gap 15; Sperryville 24 and Amissville 8. □ School procedures Rappahannock School officials have announced procedures to be followed when weather or emergency situations require the closing of the county’s public schools. Superintendent of Schools O.A. Norton, stated that when conditions dictate the wisdom of school closings, area radio stations will furnish the information as soon as the decision is made. An attempt will be made to have the announcement on the air by 6 a.m., depending upon conditions, but no later than 7 a.m. In making decisions concerning school closings in bad weather, attempts are made to secure information from a number of sources. Weather conditions are not always the same from county to county and often vary within the same county. Because schools are closed in one county does not always mean that schools will be closed in the adjoining county. Parents and children are urged not to call their radio station or school personnel concerning school closings. Such calls serve to tie up phone lines and make it more difficult for the decision to reach the public promptly. If no announcement of school closing is made on the radio stations serving the area, the public can assume that schools will operate. The following radio stations will carry school closing | information: (See page 3) Thanksgiving thoughts Details have changed, hut the meaning’s the same By DONNA HART PARSON IT IS STILL POSSIBLE, in Rappahannock county, to go “over the river and through the woods” to grandmother’s house for Thanksgiving. And though there are not too many who will “hitch" old Dobbin to the Chaise” for the trip, it’s still the going-home fever that counts. Super highways may have changed the look of the land, but not the country of the heart. It’s the look of late November with the bare trees stripped to the bone and all the fallen leaves a uniform crusty brown. It’s the year’s thrifty cycle that gathers the discarded leaves in warm covers over me sleeping ground. It’s the stubble-fields as shorn of crops as a fresh country haircut. It’s the gray sky that breathes of snow and the frosty dawn that silvers a split-rail fence and makes a pattern in sterling out of an old grapevine. It’s all these signs that make us head for home to bank the fires of our inward hearths against the relentless push of time. It’s the Day of many family reunions, especially if there are young children whose many toys from Santa make a trip to grandmother’s house at Christmastime more hectic than rewarding. Aunts, uncles, cousins, sisters, brothers, and shirttail relations of all descriptions are likely to turn up around the borrowed tables on this day. How slen der the cords of our busy lives that bind us to each other; how carefully they must be cherished on this daK It’s not just that Davy has grown six\ feet tall, or that Patty’s baby, poor \ thing, looks just like Uncle Gus, or that Jim’s Oriental bride is getting-^""^ stout — it’s the feeling of belonging to a circle that loves you warts and all. Home, like heaven, is still where “when you have to go there, they have to take you in.” Being “in” with the crowd is important but being “in” a family is a true blessing.

Two years in competition and two State A titles! The Panthers had it all again this year — individual stars and outstanding teamwork, and they and all of Rappahannock County have something to be proud of. In some nearby counties, especially those to the east, much is made of the extra opportunities offered through establishment of giant high schools — huge schools at all levels, in fact. By making it big, we are told, it is possible to offer a broader range of studies, and a wider variety of varsity sports. The more games played, the more people get a chance. Unfortunately, it doesn’t always work out that way. The bigger the high school, the more intense the concentration on the “big” sports. Football packs ‘em in on Friday nights and all that money is raked in to build more bleachers and buy fancier uniforms. The result, all too often, is that fewer youngsters get a chance to actually participate in school activities and sports, rather than more. AND A GREAT MANY of the broader educational opportunities turn out to be illusory; just because there are more “advisor's” and “aides” in the educational bureaucracy doesn’t necessarily mean that educational opportunities for the student body have been enhanced. So we add our salute to the Rappahannock Panthers, representatives of a “small” school who are as “big” as anyone when it comes to performance. □ LIBRARY LINES The Optimist’s Daughter by EudoraWelty: “Laurel Hand, long absent from the South, comes from Chicago to New Orleans, where her father dies after surgery. With Fay, the stupid new young wife of her father, Laurel returns to her former Mississippi home and stays a few days after the funeral for reunions with old friends.

Editor: It appears to me that the news story in your edition of 9 November , 1972 headlined “Supervisors Decide Plats Are Not Their Concern” should be commented on constructively. Being conversant with the present Rappahannock County Zoning Ordinance, it must be admitted that when a private citizen plans to erect on his own property a single family residence for the purpose of private rental and if the Health Department of the County approves the water supply and sewage disposal arrangements, then it is of no particular concern of the Supervisors. However, when a noncounty resident, owner of Rappahannock property, desires to place four rental homes on four acres, which already contain one home, and an adjoining half acre (a part of the original tract) also contains one home, thus proposing to make a total of six homes on four and a half acres, it would seem to me that not only the Zoning Administrator and the Health Department, but also the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection, the Zoning Appeals Board, and the Supervisors should be inter ested, at least. As stated above, such construction for such purposes may be legal provided the Health Department requirements are met, but at least one concerned individual, property owner and resident of the Amissville area, feels that such proposed-construction on such small acreage and avoiding the subdivision ordinance by renting rather than selling the homes, is an evasion of the intent of the County Zoning Ordinance. That ordinance was ordained for the purpose, in part “to protect aeainst overcrowding of land, undue density of population in relation to the community facilities existing or available.” An Amissville resident for the good of the community. Paper is enjoyed Editor: I recently received a copy of your very fine county paper, The Rappahannock News. I must admit that I did not know such a paper was in existence. However, I am sure you will forgive me as I have not been a resident of your beautiful county for some 57 years, though I do get back occasionally for a short visit. The edition I received was of October 12 and carried an account of a birthday party for my baby brother, J. ivar Jacobs. I read the News from front to back and found it to be most interesting. Of particular interest to me were the news letters from the various localities in and about the county. There were so many familiar names, though I suspect many of them are of the second and third generations of the wonderful folk that I had the pleasure of knowing. I grew up in the neighborhood of Amissville and Viewtown. My last full year there, 1914, at age 17, I was employed as teamster for Mr. Isaiah Corbin, whom I remember as a solid citizen and a very fine gentleman. From there the story is too long to relate. Having spent the greater part of my life here in Ohio, I like it very much, but I still love Rappahannock County. Marion J. Jacobs

A fnews story in verse’ Editor: Nelson Corbin, the beloved neighbor and friend to legions of folk was always “NEWS.” Scarcely a household or farm along the highways and byways of Beautiful Rappahannock where he was not v legend as a storyteller, philosopher and living example of Virginia’s “mother wit and common sense!” He helped keep our roads in shape for many years. I submit the following, not as poetry, surely, but a news story in verse, about another important event in Nelson’s life and in the lives of the many who love him: SEE YU, I’LL BE ‘ROUND Nelson, how ’oft you’ve smiled when you have heard Me say, “So-long” to your “Good-bye”’ you know I never, Nelson, care to hear that word, “Good-bye”’ sounds too much like a final Go; — Then you’d move toward the pickup, by the fence, At the old Corbin home-place, mile from town, Chucklin'’; as if you questioned my good sense. It always seemed you sort of sung the phrase. . . A way you had of drawlin’ pleasant things, Yet when unfairness caught your eye, your ways And words gave point and purpose sharper rings, You knew the world a place of joy and pain But o f them both made much good company, While picking Humpty Dumpty up again Knocked off his wall by you and me. Just pessimist enough to beun-fooled, And graded with Faith in our Creator’s plan. Toward need, your helping hand was Golden-ruled And your keen eyes saw God in Every Man: v xi guild a ueuei lur your presence here.. . This, by the finer thought you’ve thought and done. Were all her gentlemen to disappear I’d know, at least, in you, that I’d met one. Now, Nelson, as you board The Big Pick-up, We know it’s still “So Long” where you are bound; You wave and gently smile, no great kick-up; You drawl your song, “Ed, see yu, I’ll be ’round.” Edward Pawley Roarin’ Rock Mills Virginia Thanksgiving thoughts (From page 1) fererit. Despite? all the colorfully illustrated advice of the Sunday supplements and chatty magazines about jazzing up the time-honored menu of turkey, plain onion dressing, giblet gravy, cranberries, mashed white and candied sweet potatoes, peas or green beans or both, glazed carrots, Waldorf salad, jellies, jams, relishes, hot biscuits, nuts, candy pumpkin pie, mincemeat pie (with ice cream or whipped cream) and coffee followed by groans and naps and a cold snack later — it is still — with local variations — tne Dest tasting tradition yet invented. (With one exception! Try a punkmince pie this year: simply put a layer of mincemeat under the pumpkin in your pie. This will serve all those who say, Oh I’d like a little piece of both pumpkin and mincemeat, please!) The cornucopia centerpiece, overflowing with fruit, stalks of grain, vegetables, nuts and a few leaves, suggests the old much-beloved times, now mostly in the past, when our bountiful tables were supplied from our own barns and storehouses. FORTUNATE INDEED ARE THOSE who still live close to the land in the harmony of seasons. But the fact that our storehouses now often take the form of education, careers, income from a hundred different occupations, changes only the location, not the meaning. These are still our blessings, heaped up and running over also: the daily gift of life, of breathing, touching, feeling, the privilege of accumulated years, the growth of love and understanding — and of being alive to all these things. May we bow our heads. □ Aniii tfORS£ and OfnftjBf AMISSVILLE, VIRGINIA 22002 Mr. & Mrs. Paul A.

I knew of course that this was once again the awful smell of the FMC plant, manufacturers of rayon fibers, at Front Royal 15 miles away. I understand that your public hearing the other night in Front Royal was solely for the purpose of determining whether the citizens of the Front Royal area found the odor obnoxious. Could there by any doubt! Who could like that odor; even those to whom it is also the sweet smell of money c*- a part of their job? One of the speakers at the hearing said that obviously if there were many people who were annoyed or otherwise hurt by the odor there would have been more people at the hearing. My husband and I were able to attend the hearing only by a coincidence. Many people may well have missed the advance publicity in the newspapers. So I hope you will find some other method of finding out how people in the area feel about the terrible stench created by 'the Viscose Plant. Of course the smell, although awful, is not the worst of it, I’m sure. I certainly hope that your agency sees that proper research is done to determine the extent of harm to the people of the area. There were several points mentioned at the hearing that should certainly be carefully investigated, one of the statements by a Winchester doctor that as a pathologist he had noted that a majbrity of the cases of people with lung cancer brought to the hospital seemed to be from the Front Royal area. Another speaker pointed out several very serious discrepancies between the opinion brought forth by the Viscose plant’s own researchers as to the hazardous effects of sulphur dioxide in the air and that of the Federal Environmental Protection Agency’§ findings. Surely there ought to be some truly unbiased, independent research done on the subject, and it seems only right that your agency should do it.. However, meanwhile, help us get rid of that odor, so that visi tors and residents can stop thinking that Virginia may be for lovers but Front Royal stinks. Miriam S. Harris Huntly Note: Others who are bothered by the Viscose odor: Please write to the Air Pollution Control Board, Office of the Chairman, Richmond, and tell the board how you feel about it. The hearing officer said the board wants to know, so do let it know — today. □ State building code In effort to formulate a Statewide Uniform Building Code, the State Board of Housing will hold a public hearing on December 4, starting at 10 a.m., in the auditorium of the State Highway Department at 1221 East Broad Street, Richmond..

After processing, the final approval of the plat must be obtained from the Board of Supervisors.

Number of accidents reported, none serious A series of traffic crashes and collisions have occurred in the past week, but none proved too serious. Lewis Allen Steele of Huntly had stopped on Route 522 north of Flint Hill in a line of traffic behind a school bus when he was struck from behind by another vehicle, Steele was driving a 64 Chevrolet when he was hit by a 72 Ford dump truck driven by Buck Ollie Tharpe of Front Royal, according to Trooper W.A. Buntin. No' injuries or charges resulted and da mage to Steele’s car was set at $200. The collision occurred November 15. Lavinia Rose Brown of Arlington driving a 72 Ford struck and killed a deer November 18 on Route 211 by-pass. Damage to the car was estimated at $500 by Mr. Buntin. John Walker Jenkins of Sperryville escaped injury Monday when he lost control of his 72 Ford and over turned on Route 211. about two miles east of Washington. According to a report filed by investigating officer S.W. Weatherholtz, Si Sez IT IS A GOOD THING TO GIVE thanks unto God, for His mercy is great toward us and His lovingkindness endures forever. This is the season for our annual Thanksgiving festival, but why should we have some specified time designated as a time to give thanks. Let us look around us, can’t you find numerous things to be thankful for? I know I can. I remember as a lad I used to help my mother feed her chickens. I would pump water and fill their drinking troughs, then ask Mama why the chickens would always look up every time they took a drink. She told me that they would look up to thank God for Wald , i^atci i icamcu mai ~ swallowing muscle in their throat and have to let the water flow down by gravity. I believe I like Mama’s version better. It IS a good thing to give thanks. When your appetites have been appeased with all the goodies appropriate to the day, can you think of a poor family ora shut-in that might enjoy some of the remnants of your feast. A wealthy man once said that of all his wealth, the only part he ever kept was what he gave away. The Master Yeshua said that it is more blessed to give than to receive. He might have been right. And there is a day for thanksgiving that is not subject to change by the edict or whims of man, that is every DAY of your life.

Wednesday L Friday 11-3 Saturday & Sunday 10-6 PANTHER TALES By Susan Latham I hear the Sadie Hawkins Dance Friday was a smash and the FFA now has operating funds for the year. The dance was well attended and everyone enjoyed the music played by Mr. Flinchum and his stereo. The Juniors have been selling candy to finance the prom and the available products are bars for 50C and boxes costing $1.00. If you’d like some of the candy, most of the Juniors will have some on hand during the holiday weekend. There will be a Pancake Dinner for the benefit of the athletic program which will be held Friday night, November 24. The Rappahannock Lions Club is sponsoring the dinner and its members will be the cooks. Don’t know how skilled they are, but with pancakes it can’t be too bad, so take a chance. Speaking of food, the boys who competed at Williamsburg in the -cross country meet were treated to a steak dinner at Holly House by a generous, interested citizen. Mr. and Mrs. Wingfield, Mr. and Mrs. Toth and Mrs. Sarah Latham were also guests there. The S. C. A. held an assembly Wednesday for the student body with Mr. Harrison as speaker.

That’s the word from R. Kenneth Hudgins, executive director of Old Dominion Eye Bank, a Lions-supported organization which acts as a receiving station and distribution center for human eye tissue used in sight-restoration surgery. Until a short time ago, according to Hudgins, corneal transplant operations required fresh human eye tissue, transplanted to the eyes of the recipient within hours after the death of the donor. Recently, a tissue-preservation process was perfected, he stated, which mace possible the deepfreezing of such tissue for use in transplant operations even months after the death of the donor. The process, said Hudgins. is called Cryo-Preservition and it requires specially developed equipment and technicians who are nighly trained in the precise procedures necessary for fast-freezing the tissue to .critical temperatures in closely regulated time spans. Wifci the institution of the new procedure, Old Dominion Eye Bank has become, for the first time, a sto.-age depot for the priceless tissue — thereby making it possible for eye surgeons to obtain eye tissue for transplant operations on other than an emergency basis, according to Hudgins. x iic Kzyc uaim acActuuvc director said that some ten percent of those who are blind can be helped by corneal transplants. □ 1 '■ Measured miles to be marked At least eight of Virginia’s highways will soon have measured one-mile stretches, designated by signs, where motorists may check their speedometers and odometers.

He suggested that the Board adopt a set of bylaws and then parcel out the tasks by organizing it-, self into four sub-commit tees: assessment of need and planning, community affairs, funding, and evaluation of program. Kahal stated that he thought it was important for the Board to take time to educate itself, that it would have to understand the total picture of mental health resources and needs before the decision making process could begin. □ CARD OF THANKS I wish to express my thanks and appreciation to all my friends and relatives for their cards, visits, phone calls, flowers and fruit during my stay at the hospital.

Highway Department crews get ready for winter APPROACHING winter is being watched with a wary eye by maintenance men with the Virginia Department of Highways, who are busily stockpiling chemicals, sand and other an brasives, testing massive snow removal equipment and enlisting standby personnel to keep Virginia’s roads and highways clear of snow, ice and slush during the coming cold months. C. 0. Leigh, new state maintenance engineer with the Highway Department, said that all of the state’s eight highway districts are being furnished with their annual supplies of salt, calcium chlorides, sand and other abrasives to be placed at stratetic spots. Leigh said it cost the Highway Department a total of $5,959,315 to clear Virginia’s roads of ice and snow during the 1971-72 winter. This compared to the $8,387,353 spent the year before. He said the 1971-72 figure was the lowest since the winter of 196566. LEIGH CITED two big snows which fell in Northern Virginia — one in November and the other in February — as “the worst in the state last year” so far as depth, snarled traffic and highway blockage were concerned. Snow started falling on Thanksgiving eve and resulted in the most monumental traffic jam ever known in Loudoun County . Some estimates had 35,000 to 40,000 vehicles snowlocked on Route 7 and U.S. 50 Thanksgiving morning. Snow reached depths of 24 inches in some parts of the county. In February, another storm hit the area and snow accompanied by gale-like winds, fell to depths of 20 inches and drifted as high as 12 to 15 feet Remote areas of some counties of Northern Virginia were isolated f®r days — some without electric VIRGINIA’S FINEST Hudson Hams are aged and country cured with salt, pepper and sugar (never smoked).

Highway Department maintenance personnel worked around the clock—some for 40-plus straight hours — against topheavy odds; a 20-inch snowfall compounded by drifts. The Highway Department The Highway Department gives high priority to keeping roads and highways open during such critical times as these so that vital services can be kept flowing to stricken communities, Leigh said. This takes before-the-fact planning and swift, thorough on-the-spot execution. STANDING almost ready now across the state are some 300,000 tons of chemicals and abrasives stockpiled at more than 350 locations, plus a virtual armada of mechanized heavy equipment for combatting snow and ice. There are 422 motor graders, 311 loaders, 122 dozers, more than 2,000 trucks withplows, 1,500 sp readers for laying chemicals and abrasives and 19 rotary snowplows — those big blowers so effective in flattening drifts. All equipment is undergoing on-the-spot checking and testing and will be used in practice runs later this month as maintenance personnel go through simulated exercises in snow removal. LEIGH SAID that each year the old equipment no longer capable of performing the difficult tasks called for is replaced by more modern, sophisticated units. He cited a mammoth new spreader for covering a potential snow-ladened road with chemicals and abrasives. This road giant can be loaded with 11 cubic yards of snow melting material (the average spreader has a four-cubic yard capacity), making it steadier thanother spreaders which periodically have to return to the stockpile for additional material. Also standing ready for service on an experimental basis are two underbody plows (the blades are placed between the front and back wheels of the vehicle) which are capable of speeds of up to 40 to 50 miles an hour, clearing the roads as they go. These newer pieces of equipment will be used on the state’s interstate system of roads. ADDITIONALLY, arrangements have been made with private contractors to provide some 1,500 pieces of equipment and drivers to back up the state’s crews in severe storms. The department will also continue its arrangement with the Virginia trucking industry called Operation Snow Alert — an agreement whereby the industry keeps its trucks off highways where there a re traf fic tieups during storms. This arrangement is beneficial to the public, the department and the trucking industry. It also has a contract with a private concern, the Northeast Weather Service, to receive weather forecasts. The Massachusetts - based firm makes customized predictions and tracks winter storms. This information is called in to each district as well as to the central office in Richmond when bad weather is expected, and supplements reports from the United States Weather Bureau. □ HDNTLY NEWS Mr. and Mrs. James Ralls and son James Jr. of Baltimore spent from Saturday until Tuesday as guests of Mr. and Mrs. Ottie Ralls.

Sponsors for the tax classes are Virginia Tech’s Extension Division, Virginia State College, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Virginia Department of Taxation. Called the Farm and Small Business Income Tax Conference, the classes will make use of many small problems to establish one or two calculations on will “make use of many small problems to establish one or two calculations on the points of law most often used on forms by tax return preparers.” The objective of the conference is to provide tax return practitioners with sources and information to do the best job possible of preparing income tax returns for the residents of Virginia, B. Wayne Burkhart, Tech assistant professor of Agricultural Economics and Program Coordinator, said. REGISTRATION is $14 at Natural Bridge and $22 at all other locations, and will include the cost of two luncheons at all but the Natural Bridge conference site. The fee will also include a proceedings of the sessions as well as a quick index to taxpayer information publications. A limit of 200 persons will be registered at any one location. The second night of each * conference will include a panel discussion with conference instructors so as to provide a question and answer period for specific problems. Burkhart will serve as panel moderator. Members of the IRS, the Virginia Department of Taxation and Virginia Tech will discuss detailed aspects of filing tax return forms.

Custalow also will discuss soil and water conservation expenses and the optional ways in which these can be handled. Information regarding the sale of timber also will be included in the topic. Taxpayer options in these areas will be the focus of Custalow’s talk. Everett Calfee, IRS agent in Roanoke, will speak on gross income as well as net operating loss carryback and non-business deductions. John F. Griffin, IRS agent in Norfolk, will discuss capital gains and losses on the sale or disposition of assets. This area is of major concern to Virginia residents since schedules for this return are undergoing change this year, Burkhart noted. WHILE SPECIFIC areas will be under discussion during one part of the conference, the State Tax Conforming Act will receive special attention. Conference speakers on state taxation will be Edgar Hobson, director of the Division of the Fiduciary of the Virginia Department of Taxation, and Edward Dore, special assistant to the Virginia Department of Taxation, who has been appointed by the Federal government to assist the deDartment. The major portion of one day will be devoted to the provisions of the new Virginia income tax law and how it relates to federal law. Sessions on state taxation will examine the new Virginia income tax laws, transitional provisions, and the new individual income tax returns. “The new forms are a major improvement over what was in use in the 'Channelization’ of streams opposed The Virginia Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries during a regular meeting in Richmond, Virginia on November 3, approved the following policy statement on Stream Channelization: “Whereas, stream channelization (whether termed channelization, stream improvement, stream bank shaping or emergency flood control) has been found to alter the physical, chemical and biological regimes of streams in ways highly destructive to stream inhabitants, water way dependent wildlife, stream and stream bottom ecology, sport fishing and related recreational values, as well as natural esthetics; and Whereas, the adoption of land use regulations can help allocate flood prone lands to their most appro priate uses, thereby preventing private and public landowners from burdening other land owners and the public with losses incurred as a result of unwise developments on these lands at the expense of our natural and economic resources; and “Whereas the Virginia Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries is charged with protecting the inland fish and wildlife resources of Virginia from needless waste and destruction; therefore be it “Resolved that the policy of the Virginia Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries shall be to vigorously oppose stream channelization and related practices except when effects on fish and wildlife and esthetic values are minimal.” □ Motorists warned Some Virginians are throwing their new driver’s licenses away inadvertently, as they receive them in the mail. The Division of Motor Vehicles reports that these motorists apparently assume their new license is merely a changeof-address card. According to Commissioner Vern L. Hill, the confusion may stem from the new computer-printed operator’s license, which currently is replacing the old plastic embossed portion of the license. He urges any motorist, who has applied recently for a new or renewal operator’s license, to examine mail from the Division carefully. It may contain the new license. The new format was in stituted in June of this year as the first step of planned improvements in both format and procedure for issuing operator’s licenses. Ultimately, Commissioner Hill says the Division hopes to issue licenses on-the-spot at all of its examining stations, throughout Virginia.

Council is formed 'Orderly growth’ in Piedmont is goal of new group FORMATION OF THE Piedmont Citizens Environmental Council was announced Saturday, November 18, after 18 months of quiet planning. The major new citizens organization is designed to work for “orderly planned growth” of Virginia’s nine eastern Piedmont counties from the Potomac River to Charlottesville. The new Council’s organizational meeting, attended by citizens from across the region, was held at Oatlands, n<»ar Leesburg in Loudoun County. The Council announced its intention to support efforts and provide technical assistance at all levels of government to see that “the rush of development now beginning here takes into account the desires of residents and the preservation of the natural character of this region.” The meeting elected n. rowen Harrison of Leesburg as its first President and named special Committees to carry forward* the Council’s objectives and operating plans. Harrison emphasized that the organization, through its professional staff, see to it that what development takes place in the area is done in a planned and orderly way and at a proper pace.” He said it would try to assure that the environmental problems of the northern Piedmont “are considered as an integrated whole.” MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL’S initial Steering Committee, in addition tc •* Harrison and Arundel, are former Ambassador George C. McGee of Middleburg, Claude Jessup of Charlottesville, Lewis L. Strauss of Culpeper, and George A. Horkan of Upperville. The Council’s organizational session this week culminated meetings, technical advice and steering committee conferences with local and state leaders on environmental matters, which began in the Spring of 1971. Among those in attendance were representatives of Counties and local organizations. They were: J. Raymond Baine, president, Waterford Foundation; Julien R. Schrenk, president, Loudoun Landowners Association, Waterford; George Morison, direc tor, Goose Creek Association, Aldie; Phil Irwin, president, Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection, Inc. Flint Hill; Cloyce K. Huston, president, Warrenton Improvement League, Warrenton; C. E. Myers Jr.' Agricultural Landowners Association of Orange County, Orange; Joseph Prendergast, executive director, The National Trust for Historic Preservation, Leesburg; Mrs. Hiram Ely, Greensprings Citizens Association, Gordonsville; Thomas W. Richards, Environmental Planning Consultant, Arlington; and Meade Palmer, landscape architect, Warrenton. □ could be expected to mount an educational program on “visual order and environment, and further to make available facilities to provide environmental studies to the towns, counties, and organizations o£the area.” Arthur W. Arundel, chairman of the steering committee and a news executive, said that the Council would seek to “give the individual farmer, business’ man, and property owner a firm voice in the complex business of planning and decisions affecting the future of this area.” DELIVERING THE KEYNOTE address at the meeting, Arundel warned that “facing the huge tide of urban growth from Washington, the Piedmont today is something like a grat, beautiful ship which has already sprung a few leaks, and if we fail now to set her on a planned course then she is quite certain to sink in the storm just ahead.” Arundel added that “without hard and specific planning, backed by the teeth of law, these open spaces will at the present rate be gone within 15 years, denied forever to the nation, our urban neighbors and to those who now live upon it and bear the trust of the future.” Powell Harrison said the Council would seek “broadly based membership of citizens from all nine counties involved: Albermarle, Green, Orange, Madison, Culpeper, Rappahannock, Fauquier, Clarke and Loudoun.” He said the location of the Council’s headquarters and executive staff were in the process of being chosen. The Council’s objective, he said, “would be not to block development, but to Fall gardening suggestions Virginia Tech Extension specialists have made four suggestions that are of value to the home horticulturist and the backyard gardener. Don i Durn leaves mat are falling now. Save them and put them on the compost pile. Leaves will decay fas - ter if a light covering of manure or fertilizer high in nitrogen is applied to each layer. Don’t let the leaves stay on the ground because they will smother the grass, particularly where the grass has been recently seeded. Some of the annuals such as asters, begonias, petunias , etc., can- be -used as house plants this fall. They will bloom a long time in a cool, sunny place inside. Select small plants that are in a healthy condition and put them in pots. Give them time to become established in the pots before you move them into the house. It’s a good idea to cut the annuals back. Pick ornamental gourds before the first freeze, but if possible, wait until they are thoroughly mature. The gourd should be dry and the stem withered. Store in a warm, dry place. In cutting the gourd off the vine, leave about two inches of the stem. If the vegetable garden is visible from the back of the house or the street, you can make it more attractive this winter by planting it with winter rye or clover. The cover crop will be green all winter, and will add organic matter to the soil when it is turned under in the spring. Additional gardening tips and suggestions may be obtained by contacting the local Virginia Tech Extension agent. □ at_ NO HUNTING or trespassing on my property.

Among these are. mosquitoes, box elder bugs, cluster and face flies, said W. H. Robinson, assistant professor and an Extension specialist in entomology at Virginia Tech. Box elder bugs often congregate in large numbers under steps, and porches to spend the winter,. They eat nothing and harm no one, but may be a nuisance to some people. Cluster flies Cor attic flies) enter warm buildings in the fall. They, too, are looking for a warm place to spend the winter. The a^ts work their way through cracks in the eaves and windows, and rest in the attic. They may become active during the winter, flying and buzzing about windows. They cannot and will not bite, said Robinson. In the spring the adults leave their hiding place and fly about. Females lay eggs in the soil, and the maggots feed on earthworms — which is neither desirable or practical. face mes are usually found along with cluster flies in attics. They also may buzz about the windows, but can do no harm. Some kinds of mosquitoes spend the winter as adults. They frequently hide in garages and shed. Overwintering mosquitoes do not usually bite when disturbed — if they take a blood meal they will not be able to survive the winter. A vacuum cleaner £an be used effectively to control all of the above insects. Just be sure to empty the bag after use — or the flies and bugs will crawl back out. □ NO HUNTING OR TRESPASSING on the property of G. C.
