AND IT CAME TO PASS in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. AND THERE WERE in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them; and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not; for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. AND SUDDENLY there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, . Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. — The Gospel According to St. Luke.

Letters to the editor News reporting criticized Editor: In last week’s issue of the Rappahannock News there appeared the headline, “Supervisors decide against closed door meetings.” I feel that this was misleading; the supervisors did, in fact, vote to go into executive session to consider applications for help from the State-Local Hospitalization fund. I also feel that quoting some statements made by the speakers and omitting others can give the public false impressions. The reporter completely ignored my opening statement regarding the confidentiality of all information pertaining to public assistance and services provided by law (Title 63.1 of the Code of Virginia), which states that anyone who willfully discloses information concerning applicants and recipients of public assistance for purposes other than the administration of the program is guilty of a misdemeanor. The Board recognized the problem and found a workable solution, which was accepted by me. I should also like to state my personal feeling that there is danger in quoting speakers directly. First, there is plenty of room for argument about how to write dialect. As spoken, it is colorful and interesting; when it is read out of context, without benefit of the proper inflections of voice, facial expressions, and physical gestures, it can give false impressions. Moreover, impromptu remarks are not always phrased grammatically, and this is not important, but it looks ghastly in print. I think that this kind of reporting results in hindering our officials from expressing themselves freely and creates a kind of tension which is not conducive to a constructive interchange of thought. In my opinion, dialect belongs in fiction, not in the reporting of official meetings. I should like to make a plea to the publishers that they return to the kind of objective and impersonal reporting which the readers of the Rappahannock News enjoyed for a number of years. Mrs. Elizabeth Buntin Washington ...And words of praise Editor: Your splendid work as Editor for this year 1972 of the Rappahannock News is indeed appreciated by us as readers of the newspaper. Your strong and complete and fair coverage of the many facets of events in the County and nearby areas has been most marked and outstanding. You have given real meaning to the phrase of the day “tell it like it is.” And there have been some pretty hot subjects you have covered, topics where tempers of some of the readers flared; your even handling of these matters is most outstanding. And vary in content they certainly did — the matter of the bears’ incursions as claimed; the matter of the powerlines in the unty; slashing and cutting of trees under very unusual circumstances; the activities of the County officials, and various residents — all these news and editorial matters so fairly but, withal, so fearlessly handled as to excite and justify the highest praise. For all of this, as grateful readers, we thank you. Joseph and Elvira Hall Suitland, Md.

A bunting report By IRVIN L. KENYON, Gam* Warden THROUGH THE FIRST four weeks of Rappahannock’s hunting season 200 deer have been checked in the county. Still only one bear has been brought in and nine turkeys so far. ^The checking station at Flint Hill has reported the most deer with 54. Bradford’s Store has checked five of the nine turkeys checked here. Sperryville follows closely in deer checked, with 52. The Washington station has checked 42 deer. Also reported from Baldwin’s Grocery is one bear and two turkeys. Williams Grocery at Chester Gap has checked 32 deer and two turkeys. Amissville has checked 18 deer. Surprisingly, no turkeys have been checked at Jenkins Esso in Amissville. The number of deer taken during the balance of this season will depend pretty much on the weather. If there is little or no snow before the last day, January 5, we can expect another 25 to 50 deer killed. A heavy snow between Christmas and New ' Year’s Day, which would stay on the groud through January 5, could be a factor in almost doubling this county’s present harvest. The turkey and bear seasons will end Saturday, December 30, 1972. Trout will be stocked Thursday, December 21 on the Hughes and N.F. Thorntoh Rivers. □ Annual Bridge Club event held The Sperryville Bridge Club held its annual Christmas Party with exchanging of gifts on Friday night at Cab-Inn.

Panthers lose heartbreaker as Monroe stalls THE Rappahannock Panthers really didn’t have a fair break in their William Monroe game Tuesday night. William Monroe, desparately grabbing for straws in what could prove to be their worst season in years, pulled an outlandish stunt for a Skyline District team — they stalled the ball. Rappahannock, which has been giving their opponents a fit all year, was evidently confronted with a style of play they are not used to facing — in the past no team has needed to slow down against'the Panthers; this year is proving different, Rappahannock is quickly gaining the respect of the opposition. William Monroe, on the other hand, is preparing the slow-down strategy for their, future hopes. They’ll need everything they can pull together to Keep up with the big guns in the Skyline. Speaking of big guns, the Panthers went after last year’s district and regional champs Wednesday night in Madison County. (Results of the game were not available at press time). THE Mountaineers will have opened their season with Rappahannock and thJOHNSON RESIGNS C. E. Johnson Jr. of Sperryville has resigned from the Board of Directors of Rappahannock National Bank after serving for 27 years in that capacity.

The Mountaineers, coming off of a long football season, will be untested while the Panthers have five games under their belts. Two of those games were with top district contenders — Central of Woodstock and Luray. The home court advantage will make it easier on the Mountaineers but the Panthers should be fired up and Madison will probably have a good fight if they are to win. THE Panthers could use an early season victory over these Mountaineers to boost their spirits and keep them up during the long Christmas break. The Rappahannock squad auuuiu uko-4 gumg mio inis game but the three points that account for their losses to Montevideo and William Monroe hold them to a 1-4 record. The team is young and surprising. They are going to pull off some interesting upsets before the year is over and several teams may find their title hopes shattered by a hustling Rappahannock quintet.

The house, formerly owned by Mr. and Mrs. S. W. Riley, was being moved to the Magee property when a wheel proved mechanically unsound. Since that time the ground has been too soft from the frequent rains to transport the building across a field to its new location. The cold snap was the answer and progress was made over the frozen terrain Tuesday.

Attempts to ’sucker landowners’ by Vepco criticized by RLEP VIRGINIA ELECTRIC and Power Company for the past several weeks has been contacting Rappahannock landowners along the route of its proposed 500,000volt transmission line and, so far, failed to buy the first right-of-way easement. According to landowners approached by the company’s right-of-way agent, .offers of between $800 and $1,400 per acre have been made for only the 150foot wide corridor. Vepco had not offered any amount for the damage to the remainder of the property. “Vepco has the statutory right to try to purchase property or easements,” said Phil Irwin, President of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection. “But it can’t force landowners to sell out and it couldn’t get very far condemning land without a State Corporation Commission Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity.” RLEP AND ITS SISTER league in Warren County have intervened through their Richmond attorneys in the re quired S. C. C. consideration of the transmission line’s necessity. The leagues expect to show that the line is not necessary in the Rappahannock-Warren-Culpeper-Fauquier area and should be built alongside or in place of existing lines elsewhere. Meanwhile, RLEP has mailed a fourth letter to those property owners along the route. Said Irwin: “We had to let them know that no Rappahannock landowner has sold out so far, that no lawyer would recommend accepting an offer without compensation for damage to the rest of their land, and that Vepco would not. condemn an easement until it could prove necessity. “False rumors to this effect kept coming back to us and we were not surprised. This is the way power companies traditionally operate to sucker landowners into selling out cheap. We just hope that everyone sticks together and is smart enough not to sell out.” The S. C. C. hearing is expected early in 1973, said Irwin. □ HAPPY HOLIDAYS May they glow with lots of good cheer and good times! Triplett Milling Co. Culpeper, Va. .'

Virginia highway death total is up for 1972 THE 1,127 Virginia traffic deaths for the first 11 months of 1972 against 1,098 for the same period of last year left little hope for the State’s third consecutive year in which such deaths were reduced, says Colonel 0, come all ye faithful Let every heart rejoice in the spiritual blessings and inspiration of the season.

Among them is a big bundle of thanks just for you, from us DOWELLS JEWELRY CULPEPER, VA. H. W. Burgess, Superintendent of State Police. “Despite a record breaking toll of 114 for the month of March, 1972, we stood only six above 1971’s deaths on October 1, 1972, and had every hope of another year of death reduction. “Although the 120 deaths last December set a record for the month, it is extremely unlikely that we can end this year with a reduction,” he noted. There were 1,304 deaths in 1969, 1,231 in 1970 and I, 218 last year. Colonel Burgess said there is some cold comfort in the dropping of the rate of deaths for each 100 million miles of travel from 5.3 in 1969 to 4.0 last year and to 3.6 for the first eight months of 1972, due to ever increasing traffic volumes. For the first eight months of the year, he said, only eight states had lower death rates than Virginia while three had the same. The national average was 4.7. FOR THE first 11 months, Virginia’s pedestrian deaths were up from 184 last year to 208 and deaths of motorcyclists from 35 to 57. Those of military personnel dropped from 65 to 57. Monthly death totals for me iirsi u uiuuuia w* w** were January, 92; February, 87; March, 83; April, 95; May, 106; June, 87; July, 111; August, 117; September, 116; October, 104; and November, 100. Their 1972 counterparts were 85, 74, 114, 104, 106, 99, 110, 106, 112, 109, and 108. All 1972 statistics are subject to slight upward revisions duCT to late reports and deaths of those now carried as injured. □ Santa visit scheduled On Saturday, December 23, the Jaycees of Rappahannock County will bring Santa Claus to visit children of this area.

THE polyvinyl chloride Christmas tree-may be “to -day,”- the pollution-proof evergreen may be “tomorrow,” but the needle-spraying tannenbaum of yesteryear is forever. In fact, this year as many as ever real Christmas trees are presiding over American living rooms. The National Christmas Tree Growers Association ^tits the number at 35 million. 5 The Old Fashioned Christmas Tree--genuinely green , sometimes dangerously dry, and with an eerily inevitable tendency to shed ornaments, burn out lights, and lean in its supporting standard—survives today despite man’s ceaseless efforts to fool Mother Nature. Many of today’s factoryborn trees look as though they had come straight from the forest. So far, realism has fallen short of inventing a tree that will drop its artificial needles, my m* «* sm the National Geographic Society says, but some may give off woodsy whiffs of balsam--thanks to an accompanying spray can. Most of the bonafide Christmas trees grew their first needles in 3,200 nurseries located in almost all of the states. When about 18 months old, they were transplanted to tree plantations for the next six or 12 years. As Christmas approaches--their first and last as center-stage celebrities --the tree are cut, zipped off at the ground by a man with a long-handled power saw. Ecology-minded homeowners account for about two percent of the Christmas tjree business by buying live trees, their roots balled and burlaped with 50 to 100 pounds of soil for replanting later.

A survey in the Toronto, Canada, area last Christmas showed sales of fake and genuine trees about even. Of more concern to the $90-million Christmas tree business is the growing threat of air pollution. An out-of-court settlement of $450,000 recently climaxed a lawsuit brought by Maryland gr owers against a utilities company. Coal smoke from the power generator, the growers claimed, ruined a half million trees. A pollution-proof tree is still just a gleam in the eyes of Forest Service scientists. But they warn that serious, long-range efforts to perfect such a tree may be needed to withstand the march of smoky factories and power plants into forested areas, and to keep evergreen the Christmases of tomorrow.
