Supervisors decide against closed door meetings THE RAPPAHANNOCK Board of Supervisors last Thursday rolled through business that ranged from acknowledging a new resident engineer of the Highway Department, to handling livestock claims, to admitting that new safety regulations could jump school construction costs up 20% and deserve close scrutiny. Donald Ray Askew, who replaced James Skeens as Resident Engineer of the Virginia Highway Department for Fauquier and Rappahannock counties, nodded after his formal introduction to the Board. “I must admit I haven’t been up many of your roads,” said Askew. Chairman of the Rappahannock Board Newbill Miller started business right off by asking Aske# to check Route 624 and 627 to 626. “It’s been a might’ rough fall,” said Miller. “Well, maybe all this rain. Maybe we won’t get any snow this winter,” said Askew. RECENT publicity about the Board’s handling of livestock claims apparently has quieted Rappahannock supervisors on this subject. Commonwealth’s Attorney George H. Davis grumbled, urging the Board to get on with the matter. The Board chose to pay John Williams $15 for a sheep claim. “I talked to Ms. Monroe the next morning and she brought the dog in. Put it down,” reported Dog Warden Jack Bruce quietly. Mrs. Elizabeth Buntin of the Welfare Department made a roundabout bid for the authority to make decisions about applicants of the Welfare Department’s SLH Program, without having to discuss the applicants publically. “For a long time I have been very reluctant to present information about applicants in a public meeting, where you can not guarantee privacy. It’s demeaning and unethical to reveal information about people in the SLH Prog ram. I am asking you for the authority to make decisions without bringing the cases here,” said Mrs. Buntin, who reminded the Board that they directly administered the Program.

This is the group attending which also visited the Smiley’s home for lunch, and is only one group of the organization which has over seven hundred members, half from the U.S. and half from other nations. International group visits Keim’s 'tree farm MEMBERS of the “Welcome to Washington International Club” were entertained by Captain and <^Irs. W. J. Keim last Th ursday at their home, “Quail Call Farm,” near Amissville. The club is composed of women from many countries who are present Uncle Santa Claus? A CHECK FOR RAPPAHANNOCK’S portion of Federal “revenue-sharing” for the first six months of 1972 arrived this week. The amount was $25,900 plus. The check has been deposited with Treasurer Robert L. Brown, according to Clerk E. M. Jones, who said, “no guidelines for the disbursement of the money have been received.” A comment by a patron in the Clerk’s office Wednesday morning was: “You can bet there are some strings attached.” Some counties and cities have been disappointed in the amount meted them, for they had been expecting much, much more. Loudoun County received only $27,212 and had expected some $500*Q0(0,, while Fauquier was given $113,579. First reports had it that Fauquier. would receive a total of $403,000. □ ly living in the metropolitan area. Some are connected with the diplomatic service while others are affiliated with various departments of government. Some are business associated, as wives of engineers, architects, etc. Among the countries represented in this group were Australia, Canada, Chile, Italy, Lebanon, Greece, Germany, Thailand,.Brazil, Netherlands, Turkey, England, and South Africa, plus, of course, the U.S.A. While coffee was served, Mrs. Keim provided historical data of the area and their property, which was part of an original land grant from Lord Fairfax to the Amiss family after which the village was named. NEXT, the ladies chose and_ cut Christmas trees from the tree farmoperated comercially by the Keims and which opened for the season officially the following day. They enjoyed the brisk walk through the neat rows of evergreens as they selected a tree “exactly the right size” from the varieties of conifers. After the tree venture, the next stop was at the home of Mrs. Ralph Smiley, who served coffee and tea, ham biscuits, potato chips and cookies to ac> company the sandwich brought by each member. The lunch hour in the 200-year-old house which has been renovated and decorated by the Smileys was visibly relaxing and climaxed the interesting activ ities. The crisp, sunny day was made to order for the outing. THE “Welcome to Washington Club’’ was founded in 1959 in response to the “People to People” program instituted by the late President Dwight D. Eisenhower. It is an associate of the International Visitors Service Council of Greater Washington Organizations. The sharing of interests and activities provides the formal program of the club which has more than 700 members, half from the United States and half from other nations. The membership is divided into many groups and each has an opportunity to acquire knowledge of other countries and share their talents and training. □

SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Amazing decision A PARADE OF PUBLIC officials went before a judge in Prince William County last week to testify to overcrowded conditions in the eastern part of their county, conditions caused by too-rapid residential growth. School officials told of crowded schools and year-round classes in Dale City; the county engineer told of drainage and siltation problems; the resident Highway Department engineer told of mounting traffic problems; and finally, the county attorney cited the Board of Supervisors’ basic right to look after the health, safety and welfare of all the citizens in its jurisdictions. So the judge upheld the county’s refusal to approve further construction in Dale City, until existing difficulties had been corrected — right? Wrong! AS INCREDIBLE AS IT SEEMS, a Circuit Court judge in Prince William held, in effect, that the “rights” of the developer of Dale City take precedence over the welfare of everybody else. r,0 Shake your head if you want to, but that attitude has been expressed all too often in Virginia’s courts. Loudoun’s Supervisors might not have known how lucky they really were to get a favor, able court ruling on their saying “no” to the “growth” intentions of a would-be giant developer. We must assume that Prince William’s supervisors will appeal this fantastic decision, for if it is allowed to stand unchallenged it is difficult to assume how that poor county can ever hope to cope with a mushrooming growth which seems to have assumed a malignant life of its own—'divorced from reason, common sense and equity. Prince William’s experience must also give pause to those hopefuls in this part of Virginia who still say “growth” is all right just so long as it’s “orderly.” The court decision in Prince William may be a warning that even “orderly” growth” may be unattainable once the floodgates are topped. □ _,_ . . r LIBRARY LINES THE CHRISTMAS PARTY, annually held at the Library for all the County children will be on Saturday, December 23 at 3 p.m. Santa is expecting every boy and girl to come and sit on his knee, and join in the holiday fun.

PANTHER TALES By Susan Latham Our Panther team is really out of sight this year. . .Last Friday we played Elkton and won with a score of 75-68. The game was awfully exciting and the results pleases the Panther fans no end. The JV’s were also playing to win but ended with a two-point loss. Tuesday the Panthers met the Central Falcons and after a tight first half they were considerably outdistanced foraloss.The JV’s worked hard against Central but this games end was similar to the Varsity’s. Don’t forget our next game with Luray tomorrow the 15th. It’s not very far, so find a ride and join us over the mountain. We need your support. The Juniors terminated their candy sales Friday apd now are making plans for the prom. I’ve seen several large Senior ears sneaking around trying to find out what the theme is, but we haven’t picked one. Sorry Seniors!!! The prom committee will have to be a little more carefql though, since preparations must be made soon. The students were given a pleasant happening Monday afternoon when an assembly was held with McBeth as the subject. It was a unique performance for the actors and actresses were marionettes. After the play, Mr. Ken Hodge explained the history of marionettes and demonstrated the way they work. The students were glad to have a curriculum break in addition to the knowledge gained. Thanks. The facility of RCHS has decided that gum chewing will be allowed as usual if permission is given in the class by the teacher. If the new policy is abused, all gum chewing will be abolished, so be sure you know the if’s , and’s and buts about the new rule. The annual staff finished the photographing Wednesday of all groups to be included in the yearbook. That day the girl’s basketball team and cheerleaders pictures were taken as well as that of the girl’s and boy’s track and cross country teams. Members of the Photography Club are to be congratulated on the good pictures they submitted the newspaper of the basketball games for last week's* issue. Instruction seems to be paying off.

The Groovers are former residents of Rappahannock and lived at Castleton. □

T H E F 0 X Rappahannock favors joining Planning District RAPPAHANNOCK’S Board of Supervisors last Thursday prepared to join Planning District 9, to give the ,counties of Rappahannock, Fauquier, Madison, Culpeper and Orange an opportunity for regional planning and the federal funding contingent upon the formation of planning districts. Chairman of the Rappahannock Board, Newbill Miller, put it bluntly: “Fauquier County has a sewage project that it must have, and can’t get any federal assistance without the formation of the Planning District. This is a pointblank statement, I admit.” Considerably frustrated, Miller recounted to the Board how the Town and County of Culpeper has repeatedly refused to join the District. “The Town Manager of Culpeper is the man most opposed to it,” said Miller, who made a strong push for the formation of the district. APPARENTLY, Fauquier County’s desire fora massive regional sewer plant that would serve the Warrenton-Vint Hill -New Baltimore area, has been the catalyst for a meeting called for January 16, Saturday, at 8 p.m. at the Town Hall in Culpeper. “Fauquier County wants to organize and asked us to pass a resolution formally ratifying the charter and appointing three members, an elected official, a non-serving member and a floater member,” said Chairman Miller. “It will cost us $1,000 annually and give us an aerial look at the Rappahannock River if a water impoundment were to come in. . . >» “CULPEPER is making a serious mistake,” said Commonwealth’s Attorney George H. Davis. “This gives us a wider influence in area developments, which are naturally going to spill over on us. “I think Culpeper may be against joining because they think the type of land use regulations in Fauquier might affect them.” “George, the reasons they gave were all very vague. The^ opposed it as just another layer of go vernment,” said Newbill Miller. In way of argument for joining the District, Miller reminded: “We’re the only district in the State of Virginia that isn’t organized. We have 51% of the population in favor of organizing. The State Water Control Board is doing a report on this area with no local input or co-ordination. Our County gets the same representation as Fauquier.” Chairman Miller suggested appointing members to the Commission. H. B. Wood reciprocated: “I appoint you.” Just the same, Newbill Miller went around the table asking fellow Supervisors if they wanted the job. “O.K., then, I’ll do it,” he said finally. “WHAT I don’t like about it,” said George Davis, “is when a locality refuses federal money, it’s no less tax money out of the pocket. Someone else just spends it.” Newbill Miller appointed Bob Anderson as a second member to the Commission. “In choosing Bob Anderson I tried to find someone who isn’t worked to death.” “I think he is excellent. He’ll get involved,” said Betty Coates. The Board then decided on a “floater member” who will not serve. Smiling, Herbert A. Foster appointed Supervisor J. R. Latham. “Go but not vote,” Foster smiled, making the motion. “He’ll be the Fauntlero^ of this District,” said George Davis. □ Mr. and Mrs. Virgil Corbin and family of Manassas were visitors Sunday of Mrs. Nelson Corbin.

Panther cagers win one, lose one The Panthers got their first win of the season last Friday by defeating the Elkton squad at Elkton 7568. The game was a seesaw battle with the Panthers running up an eightpoint lead in the first half which was chipped away by the Elks. Harry Jordan put on a basketball exhibition for the fans who fought the rain to get there. He scored 27 points (20 in the first half) and pulled in 35 rebounds before fouling out early in the fourth quarter. Bobby H.L.BORDEN LUMBER CO.

Not only did he hold on, but, with the aid of subs Bobby Titchenell, William Jordan and regulars Steve Leake and Cliff Frye, pulled out to a seven-point lead by the end of the game. It is easy to overlook the rest of the team when an individual like Jordan is outstanding. The Elkton game was won by a team, not an individual. Leake and Frye showed lots of poise in the fourth quarter. Frye moved in and controlled the boards in Jordan’s absence while adding twelve points to the effort.

Into a great copper kettle you pour a gallon of apple cider for a starter, then add some sliced apples and stir. After the apples begin to cook down, more are added until the kettle is full of simmering sauce. Cooking continues for hours and spices and sugar season the thick, hot apples. Stanley Williams and Bradley Williams pour apples into the kettle in the Chester Gap fire hall Thursday and by the day’s end some 123 gallons of apple butter were ready for sale by Chester Gap firemen and ladies of the community. Apple butter boiling was the project undertaken last week by members of the Chester Gap Fire Company and Auxiliary. Huge shiny copper kettles bubbled merrily over gas fired burners in the fire hall (this way you don’t get smoke in your eyes) while all present took turns stirring the large vats with long-handled wooden paddles.

Wheat growers get final checks CHECKS totaling $32 million in final payments under the 1972 wheat program will be mailed to ap- - proximately 976,000 participating farms, the U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has announced. This year, USDA officials point out, “market influences have been strong, capped by the historic and unprecedented sales to the Soviet Union.” As a result, wheat producers have obtained more farm income from the marketplace and relied less on federal payments. Prices received for wheat in mid-November averaged $1.97 per bushel — 66 cents per bushel above the mid-November prices of a year ago. The net value of this year’s wheat crop, including payments made to farmers under the set-aside program, is expected to reach $3.3 billion, about a quarter of a billion dollars more than the 1971 crop. The December payment is in addition to $691 million mailed to wheat producers in July. THE DECEMBER payment — 6 cents per bushel — is the difference between the face value of the certificate determined to be $1.34 per bushel — and the preliminary payment of $1.28 per bushel mailed in July. The face value of the certificates is the difference between 100 percent of the July 1 parity price of $3.02 per bushel and the national average wheat price of $1.68 per bushel received by farmers for the 5-month period July through November. □ Clore Funeral Home ^ “The Home of Thoughtful Sendee" 'Culpeper, Va.

Luray, Culpeper, & Warrenton jk Thurs. - Sun. Dec. 14-17^ A priceless gift A priceless Christmas gift which costs nothing and which will go to a stranger is the suggestion of R. Kenneth Hudgins, executive director of the Old Dominion Eye Bank. “The marvelous gift of restored eyesight for someone now blind can be made with a stroke of the pen,” Hudgins said. “It can be done by signing a pledge card, offering to donate your eyes, on death, to be used in a sight-restoring corneal transplant operation.” Hudgins said that not nearly enough human eye tissue is currently being made available through the donor program to take care of the eye bank’s need. Eye donor pledge cards are available from any member of the local Lions Club or by writing directly to Old Dominion Eye Bank, 408 North 12th Street, Richmond. The Lions Clubs serve the eye bank by providing its financial support and by soliciting eye donor pledges and helping in the implementation of the eye bank program. “Sight-restoring corneal transplants are now being performed in Virginia through the eye bank’s services at a rate of more than two per week,” Hudgins said. □ DO WE HAVE OPPORTUNITIES?

The Board chose to retain their control of public funds and Herbert A. Foster said: “It’s a bad thing when the taxpayer doesn’t know how his money is spent. These people get public money.” MRS. BUNTIN handed out a thick notebook she described as “profile of Planning District 9”, an assessment of social resources and the need for the five counties to plan together. The Board noted that although the District has not been officially chartered and represented, many organizations are referring to the area as a region. (A separate article tells how the Board chose to join the District, prompted by Fauquier County.) “We lack a Welfare Board member,” said Mrs. Buntin. “I thought of putting an article in the paper explaining the function of a member but I haven’t yet dared.” “We need a person of compassion and yet someone who will say no,” observed Newbill Miller, who suggested Tom Massie — who also got the nod from Betty Coates and J. R. Latham. SCHOOL Superintendent O. A. Norton made a rather lengthy presentation, telling the Board that the Virginia General Assembly, in adopting standards of quality, have called upon Rappahannock to do immediate planning for kindergarten classes , for a vocational education program, and for special education. Norton told the Board that a plan for kindergarten must be submitted no later than 1974, while 1973 is the deadline for a voca COMPLETE ONE-STOP Building Svpply Hardware Paint Millwork Lumber WARRENTON BUILDING MATERIAL CO., INC. ON THE BY-PASS WARRENTON Phone 347-1400 tional education plan. A special education plan for the “exceptional” child must be presented next year, and implemented by 1976, he said. “We feel we need input from the community and have appointed three task forces, which will meet jointly Monday night at which time will be explained what faces us,” said Norton. The superintendent also noted that the BOCA building code, a national school safety code might cause school construction costs to jump 15 to 20%. Norton thought that some of the safety standards apply to high-rise buildings, standards which he thought might not apply to Rappahannock schools. “I can’t find any losses of children’s lives by fire in schools the last 25 years,” said Norton. “Will this apply to existing structures?” asked Newbill Miller. “No.” wnen uommonweaun Attorney George Davis questioned the Board’s motives in reacting to inapplicable safety standards, Miller said: “We would ask for strict scrutiny, ask Delegate French Slaughter to look at the bill. This might be somebody putting up a ten foot fence when a five foot fence would do.” WALTER E. COX, private auditor of the Rappahannock County books, told the Board that Federal Revenue Sharing money should arrive shortly, and Cox advised that the Board invest the money. “No one seems to know what you can do and can’t do with the money,” said Cox. “There are supposed to be rulings from the Treasury Department.” “We’ve got three or four organizations telling us how we can spend the money,” offered E. M. Jones, County Clerk. Cox suggested that the money might be put into a school debt service fund, to offset the $50,000 annual debt service. NEXT, THE Board heard two representatives of the Virginia Division of Forestry Department tell of Senate Bill 895, which is being promoted by railroaders who want to stop keeping railroad rights-of-way cleared of brush. “We feel the number of forest fires would definitely increase,” said a forester. “I can remember back in the drought,” mused Chairman Miller, “playing baseball in Boyce, and they had three railroad fires while we were playing ball, and they were keeping the rights-of-way cleared.” The Board chose to support the Division of Forestry. With only Supervisor J. R. Latham opposed, the Board approved an exception to the subdivision ordinance that allowed E. J. Welch to divide his land, taking “a piece off the south end” so that his children could build homes. Welch was also required to provide public water and meet specific road grading standards. □ AN R'C QUALITY THEATRE IN FRONT ROYAL.
