A Cliff-hanger Opening game shows promising defense and mistakes By ROGER FLINCHUM Thij Panthers dropped a cliff-hanger in their season opener Tuesday with Montevideo in a 60-58 overtime before a packed house at the RCHS gym. Rappahannock led most of the way with Harry Jordan and Steve Leake turning in fine performances of 24 and 18 points, res pectively. The Panthers outplayed the Montevideo squac on defense, with Jordan and Cliff Frye controlling the boards. But nistakes killed the efforts with the Panthers turning the ball over more often and foulirg twice as often as the Maroons. Cliff Frye scored eight points and delivered a great defensive effort. Guards Bobby Smoot and Dale Russell rounded out the scoring with 6 and 2. The J. V. game also had a 2-point margin in favor of Montevideo. The high scorer for Rappahannock was Mike Smoot with 9 points. Andy Niohols and Hodge Miller each got 6 points. Mike Tapper scored 4 ani Barry Adkins and Milto i Fletcher rounded it Big Harry Harry Jordan (34) drops one in for Rappahannock in the opener Tuesday night with Montevideo as Steve Leake (40) looks on. In spite of their efforts the Panthers lost the game in overtime. out w th 2 each. Both games were cliff-hangers that were settled only in the closing seconds. The only fans who didn’t get their money’s worth were those who arrived after the gates were clo sed. Only an advance ticket guarantees a seat. Tickets will be sold at the school office on the day before and the day of the games and will be available for both away and home games. □ -finmnM satiiiijii Shootings occur Ronnie Allen Burke, 37, of Castleton was pronounced dead on arrival at Culpeper Memorial Hospital Sunday night of gunshot wounds sustained from a .22 calibre pistol.

Settle who is 66, has been released on bond. Friday night Raymond Atkins of Strasburg was treated for gunshot wounds at Warren Memorial Hospital, Front Royal. Charged with the assault is Sherman Atkins of Flint Hill who has been released on bond. A hearing on both of the alleged crimes is scheduled for January 5. □ Sunday trail ride THE COLDER THE WEATHER the faster the pace of the Trail Riders of Rappahannock. This Sunday the Riders will be trotting out again at 1:30 for a . brisk 3 hour ride into the auburn hills of Huntly. The footing should be excellent even for unshod horses, so plan to venture out, past hidden lakes and up onto clear ridges where silvered boughs serve only to frame glorious vistas of the Blue Ridge. To reach the starting point for this week’s ride, head down 522 towards Front Royal, and take the first right past Foster Brothers Packing House onto Route 637. Travel down 637 for 2 miles to the starting point. A firm bank is available for the unloading of big horse trucks. Again, red and white signs will be posted to guide newcomers. Please arrive on time for club members are too polite to leave anybody behind but those just unloading at 1:30 should be aware that they are holding up the show.

IRapyabanmirk Npuib Published Thursday Morning at Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia, by the Fauquier Publishing Company, Inc. Entered as Second Class Mail at the Post Office in Washington, Virginia. Subscriptions (in advance) $3 in Rappahannock and adjacent counties: $3.50 East Coast: $4 Midwest: $4.50 West Coast MRS. SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Who’s paying? IN THE MAIL this week came Volume 1, Number 2 of a publication called “The 1-66 Question,” printed qn classy, cream-colored paper in two colors. The publication is published by the Virginia Department of Highways, and while we didn’t have time to check on how many copies were printed at what cost, we frankly resent our tax dollars being spent far this sort of thing. For the publication, despite a resolutely cheqry attempt at “objectivity” (a letter urging support for the Metro system as an alternative to more superhighways is printed), is aimed at promoting a favorite Highway Depart- . ment project, the completion of 1-66 at its northern end. Some people who live in that part of Virginia feel so strongly about this that they have spent who knows how many dollars of their own money to combat what they think is an unnecessary road project, one which would destroy their community. Is it quite fair that their own tax dollars also be used for a highway propaganda piece? We don’t think so, and we can say this without even entering into the pros or cons of the specific proposal — and even though we have some complaints about the Department’s plans for this end of 1-66. Si Sez LET ME LIVE unloved, unknown Unlamented let me die; Steal from this earth and not a stone Tell where I lie. Because of the affluency of his family, I imagine the stone that tells where he lies will be an imposing one. He might have been unknown in one sense of the word, but he was not unloved. We all lament his passing. Why then the above verse? It just seems to fit his retiring nature. One would scarcely notice him being around except that children were drawn to him. He was a lovable person. His nickname was Peck; I don’t know why. In my fancy I go back to when he had young children. Maybe someone was trying to teach a child to say: “I love you a bushel and a peck, and a hug around the neck,” and the child couldn’t say anything but peck. But I am sure it loved him bushels and bushels. After his wife passed on about a year ago he seemed so. lonely, he seemed to be listening for a call. Perhaps the Father joined her in the call and he went back home. The Christ said there is no marriage in heaven, I hope there is an exception made in this case.' Would it truly be heaven if we were separated from those who made earth a heaven to us? Let’s go up there and see for ourselves. □ Barn The barn pictured last week was that of Richard Compton located on Route 729 south of Ben Venue. Mrs. Dan Jacobs of Castleton will receive the free subscription to the Rappahannock News for her name was drawn from the three entries received. Others correctly identifying the barn were James Menefee and Willie M. Potter. PANTHER TALES By Susan Latham Hi! Our first basketball game was fabulous! The school really showed a lot of that good spirit. Although we did lose, we’ve got 17 more games to prove how great we are. The J.V.’s put up a terrific fight under the coaching of Mr. Jerry Campbell but the final score was 31-29 favoring Montevideo. The Panther varsity team was hard to beat, also, but with the game tied at the end which required three minutes of overtime, the mighty Panthers went under by two points; a final 60-58 score. Those were exciting games and if our others are like it, as they might seem to be, you’d better not miss them. Last week I made a couple of mistakes. Can you believe it? The student home tickets for basketball games did go up to $1.00 instead of 75 cents. Sorry. Also, several names of the Varsity squad were inadvertently omitted from my list I turned in, but that wasn’t my fault. However they are Dale Russell, Bobby Smoot and Ernie McDonald, who also play as guards and forwards for the Panthers. The JV team is comprised of Mike Tupper, Mike Smoot, Barry Adkins, Milton Fletcher, Aubrey Russell, Donnell Carter, Larry Brown, Billy Dawson, Clif Jenkins, Hodge Miller, Cecil Smoot, Ronnie Nicholson and Andy Nichols. They all did a fine job Tuesday, losing by only 2 points. Congratulations everybody for your support* sp irit, coaching and most of all the great playing of the Panthers. They’ve got the fever; they’re hot; they can’t be stopped! The next game is at Elkton this Friday at 6:30. The team would appreciate your support while they go on to VICTORY!!!!!!! So come on, ya’ll. The Varsity Club handled the sale of drinks and popcorn in a most efficient manner and believe me, it was a life-saver. The Rappsody lay-out committee met Monday after school to get the pages of the yearbook together. They are very secretive as to the theme and I think it’s gonna’ be another wild annual. Keep it up staff. There have been three excited seniors walking around the halls for several weeks; since their acceptance into college. Mauri Raney is one of them and she is planning to go to VPI. Cil Davis has been accepted at Mary Washington College (right, Miss Davis?) and Charla Sisk will be a student at the College of William and Mary. They have been notified early as being accepted, so we’ll hear from others later. The NHS had their bonfire Friday and although some members don’t roast hotdogs on sticks too well, they can really tell a good scary story. The stories told around the fire were so scary you should ask Mr. Gray and Martin Perdue about being followed home! Don’t forget tomorrow’s basketball game. □ Christmas party The annual Christmas supper for the Flint Hill firemen, their families and their friends will be held Sunday, December 10 in the Flint Hill fire hall at 5:30 p.m. This will be a covered dish supper and will be followed by a ‘ short program and cared singing. Gather your family, your Christmas spirit and a covered dish and join fellow Flint Hill fireiflep gtfid families. □

T H E L I T T L E F 0 X Priorities for clearing ice and snow explained THE HIGHWAYS which offer the highest degree of service are the ones which will be cleared first of ice and snow during a winter storm, a Department of Highways official explains. Interstate and arterial routes would obviously have top priority, but even some secondary roads rate equally as high when it comes to plowing away the ice and snow. C. O. Leigh, state maintenance engineer for the Department of Highways, who recently announced the widespread preparations for snow removal all over the state, said that the “degree of service” which a road gives is the key is establishing priorities for snow removal. A number of factors are taken into consideration in determining the “degree” — or importance — of service, it was pointed out. Traffic volumes, the locations of industry and other centers of employment, schools, hospitals and similar institutions are given high consideration in planning and establishing priorities, as are the roads designated for mail routes. THE STANDARD set by the department for clearing Virginia’s snow-clogged roads reads this way in the Maintenance Policy Manual: “In order to promote safe travel on the highways of the Commonwealth and to protect the investment in our highways, it shall be the objective of the department to provide snow and ice control services commensurate with the needs of all segments of our highway system and with our ability to finance these operations.” To accomplish this objective, all routes are assigned one of four priorities. Priority One — This includes interstate, arterial, most primary routes and a Division Motor Vehicles explains licensing The Division of Motor Vehicles urges all motor vehicle owners to notify the Division immediately of any address change not previously reported since purchasing 1972 Virginia license plates. Commissioner Vern L. Hill emphasizes that failure to do so could result in 1973 motor vehicle license renewal applications being delayed or undelivered. The Division will begin preparing the 1973 renewal applications on December 11, for mailing to citizens on February 1, 1973. Change of address notification should include all 1972 license plate numbers and both old and new addresses, including zip codes. Notification may be accomplished by contacting local license agencies,1aranch offices, or the Central Office of the Division of Motor Vehicles, P. 0. Box 27412, Richmond, Virginia, 23269. □ CHRISTMAS PAGEANT An improvisation pageant of “The Little Drummer Boy” will be presented at the Sperryville United Methodist Church on Sunday night, December 17, at 8 p.m. Santa Claus will also make an appearance. Everyone is invited. k Get UP and go! 'It's cycle season at: (Hilaries ^mjjiim, «3bic. WA»MINOTON. VA. g7S-3Bg®_ ^ few high service secondary routes. Roads assigned this priority receive first consideration during snowstorms. These roads are kept free of snow and ice so that traffic can proceed in safety without the use of chains, except during periods of heavy falling snow or drifting. Should extremely low temperatures prevent or greatly retard the action of chemicals, these routes will be “so covered with abrasives that traffic can proceed in safety without the use of chains.” Priority Two — This includes medium service primary routes and some high service secondary routes. Routes with this priority will be cleared of snow and ice, or covered with abrasives, to permit travel as soon as possible during a storm, but within 24 hours after the cessation of falling weather. PRIORITY THREE — This normally includes low service primary and some high service secondary routes, including urban secondary feeder and urban secondary subdivision routes. These roads will receive third consideration in snow and ice removal. They are to be plowed as soon as possible, but within 24 hours after falling weather has stopped. All hills and trouble spots are to be covered with abrasives as soon as possible after a storm begins, but within 48 hours after the storm ends. Priority Four —This includes all roads under the jurisdiction of the Department of Highways which do not fall in the above priorities. ONE QUESTION which seems to come up every time there is a snowstorm concerns removal of snow from driveways. Department of Highways spokesmen say that individuals are responsible for the removal of snow from the area of driveways which front a plowed street. In other words, when department plows and/or graders shove snow off a main roadway onto the front of a private driveway, the owner of the driveway is responsible for removing this snow. There are two exceptions to this: snow shoved onto driveways leading to fire stations and first aid stations is the responsibility of the Department of Highways and will be removed by the department. □ 19th WALL’S Discount Prices for your Christmas Shopping Gorham “Chantilly” Silverplated Casserole Reg.

Some are fiction, for your enjoyment: Out of the Dark, by Norah Lofts, is a novel set against a background of Victorian England. “Based partially on an actual and unsolved case, the story focuses on a young Englishwoman, her family, the unresolved murder that changes their lives, and her attempt to escape from the awful events of her past.” The Porkchoppers, by Ross Thomas, “takes an inside look at corruption in an American labor union. As the union president campaigns for reelecton against the union’s secretary-treasurer, and both pull out the stops to defeat each other, the action — including election-stealing and assassination — comes fast ami nasty, with unexpected results.” □ Hodge Miller shoots inside during the JV basketball game Tuesday night when both Rappahannock teams were defeated by Montevideo. Friday night’s game is with Elkton there. (Photography Club photo) Film showing A short film depicting land use efforts and successes in Great Britain will be shown at the December 8 meeting of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection, Inc. The film on the English experience, entitled “A Future for the Past”, offers insights into how England has attempted to preserve its historic landmarks and green spaces in the face of expanding population and development pressures. The problem of wise growth management, long familiar to Britons, is a new concern to many parts of America, including Rappahannock County. Produced by the Civic Trust for the Northwest, the informational film is being shown by RLEP to promote ideas and discussion among Rappahannock citizens concerned with preserving the county’s natural beauty and historic heritage.

Stuart said that nationally more than 70,000 farmers — 650 in Virginia — would be asked to complete mailed questionnaires while others Will be visited by enumerators. These interviewers are specially trained to obtain needed information in a short interview with the farmer. All information, whether gathered in person or through the mails, is kept confidential and only state and national summaries are issued.

Dangers of getting lost AT LEAST two hunters were reported lost during the first two weeks of the deer season in Virginia’s mountains emphasizing the need for hunters to give some thought to this type of mishap, says Game Commission Safety Officer James N. Kerrick. One, a 66-year-old man, did not return to his hunting camp in Craig County on opening day. The most recent, a veteran woman hunter, did not rendezvous with her husband at the appointed time and place on the second Monday evening of the season. At times up to 100 or more searchers combed the woods with little idea of where to concentrate the search. “If hunting alone, hunters should tell someone as nearly as possible the exact route they plan to follow and when to expect them back,” Kerrick said. “Then if they don’t show up within a reasonable time, searchers can proceed along the planned route with a high chance of finding them quickly. Also, if they decide they are lost, hunters should either stay put and wait to be rescued, or walk downhill until they come to a stream and follow it downstream until it leads to a road or human habitation. “SOME TYPE of emergency kit is a good idea,” Kerrick said, “but most important is a waterproof supply of matches and some concentrated food such as candy bars. A lost hunter can almost always start a warming fire if he has dry matches and 72-73 R.C.H.S.

Most of Virginia’s hunting country is not so rugged that hunters cannot be found if the searchers know within a square mile or so where to look. Hunters negotiating rough terrain should remember that a slip and fall that produces a minor injury might be fatal if compounded by the exposure of one or more nights outdoors at low temperatures. Any self-inflicted gunshot wound may likewise cost a life even though not immediately fatal. □ GIFT IDEAS FOR THE CHILDREN .

W. Burgess, the Department’s Superintendent. Until now, Colonel Burgess said, an applicant was required to travel to Richmond from any part of the State and back for these preliminary tests which were given only at Administrative Headquarters. Now, they may be taken at Division Headquarters at Salem, Chesapeake, Culpeper, Wytheville or Appomattox, in addition to Administrative Headquarters. “It is certainly reasonable to believe that the long travel distances may have discouraged desirable applicants in the past,” he said. Examinations will be given the second Thursday of each month and will commence December 14. The applicant may pick any location he desires. Colonel Burgess explained that basic qualifications include a high school diploma or its equivalent, excellent character and physical condition, and age 21 through. 29. If an application is apparently in order, the prospective trooper is directed to take the prescribed adaptation tests. Upon successful completion of these, he is subjected to a thorough character investigation. If this is favorable, he is offered the position dependent upon passing a physical examination. Twenty-one trooper vacancies now exist, out of 1,052 authorized positions. b S. A.
