County to join Planning District 9 Plenty of st^j - Who said there wasn’t any snow? This was the sc^neJdortflSyatRappahannock Ski ^fcrea as artificial snow combined with just a bit of natural snow to create this scene. The cold weekend enabled the ski area to make plenty-of artificial snow and the area opened Tuesday. Jim Trepp, manager, announced that due to winter’s late arrival, prospective season passholders will be charged only 75% of the original advertised rates. Those who have already purchased passes will be issued a 25% refund. OVER THE objections of Supervisor H. B. Wood Jr., Rappahannock will be a member of Virginia Planning District 9, which will have an organizational meeting at 8 p.m. January 16 at the Culpeper Town Hall. District 9 is the last regional planning district in Virginia to be organized, and will be composed of the counties of Rappahannock, Fauquier, Culpeper, Madison and Orange, and the towns of Warrenton and Culpeper. Not all have indicated a readiness to join, but Rappahannock’s decision adds up to 51 per cent of the population, and paves the way for formal organization. Membership will cost Rappahannock $1,100 a year, and Wood immediately . raised questions. “I don’t see it will do us any good,” he said. Chairman Newbill Miller thought membership would be beneficial, even though he admitted that “I can’t name a specific thing that would be good for us.” IN MILLER’S view, the question “boils down” to things like this: “When down in Sperryville, the time comes to put in a public sewer, then membership in the Planning District will help us. The only way we’ll get federal funds (for such projects) is if we’re in a planning district.” Wood was incredulous: “You mean they’d discriminate against us, against a need like something for sewers in Sperryville, just because we weren’t a planning district member?” Wood shook his head: “Why create more government if you don’t have any use for it?” Commonwealth’s Attorney asked what the $1,100 sum from Rappahannock would be used for. Miller said this was the county’s share for one year’s operations, which at first would include organizational expenses. “What benefits would we get?” asked Supervisor Herbert Foster. “Well, we should have access to a staff for planning. ..” ventured Miller. “I’m not an expert on this. Mr. Davis, you’ve been for this up to today.” GEORGE DAVIS protested that he was neither “for nor against, I’m just wondering.” Foster and Wood said they were, too. Davis agreed with Miller, however, that “we could lose considerable federal fund sources if we didn’t go in it.” “Who can say that, specifically?” JVood challenged. Newbill Miller said he had inquired of nearby co(See page 15) 'No-passing’ zone at High School is favored . PAINTING a double, “no -passing” line on Route 211 in the vicinity of the entrance to Rappahannock High School is favored by the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors. The Board passed a resolution last Thursday calling for this action after Ian Pryde appeared to inform the Supervisors of what he regarded as an excessively • dangerous situation. “Why do we have to have a passing lane in front of the high school?” Pryde asked. “As soon as they get to Pine Knot on the hill, they start passing. He added: “Mr. (James) Skeens (the former resident highway engineer) said some thing about it being too far to go without a passing area, but there’s been four bad accidents there in the past three months and I think something should be done. One guy we had to cut out of his car. One day, I’m afraid it’s going to be a school bus.” Donald Asken, Skeens’s successor as resident Highway Engineer, wasn’t much impressed. He also observed that ‘‘passing zones are controlled by the traffic people in Culpeper and it’s pretty hard to get them to change one. We could look 'rtatO’'ft/*<5enerally, a passing zone is pretty hard to close up.” “THE HILLS are close there,” observed Supervisor Herbert Foster. “They could turn the warning lights on during school hours,” suggested Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis. “People just wouldn’t pay attention,” Askew predicted. “It’s supposed to be a 25 - mile - an - hour limit during school hours, anyway,” said Newbill Miller, chairman of the Board of Supervisors. “On some mornings, the' lights are not even on when the school buses are moving in and out,” added Ian Pryde. “I’ve seen a three-car accident during or after a gathering at the school at night,” added George Davis. “One car was passing another; it was a passing situation.” Foster had heard enough. He made a motion that the Supervisors go on record favoring a “no-passing” zone in front of the high school — and the elementary school entrance, too, (See page 15) Tax workshop FARMERS AND THEIR WIVES are invited to participate in a tax management workshop next Monday, January 15 at 1 p.m. at the Episcopal Church Parish Hall in Washington.

LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Timely suspicion SUPERVISOR H. B. Wood Jr. was quite right in his reservations about Rappahannock County’s joining the regional planning district concept that the Virginia State Government is currently fostering so vigorously. From what we’ve seen in nearby counties, such “regional” groupings definitely have.,a way of attaining a life — and an expensive bureaucracy — of their own, and individual counties, especially rural ones like Rappahannock, can often find themselves in the classic tail-wagging-the-dog situation. The Council of Governments of the Metropolitan Washington area, wliile not precisely a Virginia government-sponsored regional grouping, ^ provides one handy example of the dangers that can arise. Some of the less “metropolitan” members of this coalition are already having to fend off some of the more odious plans of their bigger, and more powerful co-members, and there is talk of devising ways and means whereby COG cam raise its own revenues and become an independent, truly regional government. As a matter of fact, there is talk in Virginia of looking into ways of giving the Planning Districts revenueraising powers of their own, and even legal powers that might supersede those of local governments. NO THANKS. We can agree with the observation made during last Thursday’s discussion that no county exists in a vacuum, but with Mr. Wood we’re not willing to translate this into regional membership in something that might become more trouble than its worth. One of the most clincher arguments given nowadays in support of “regional” groupings is that unless you g® along with this current bureaucratic fad, you’ll miss out on all those fat grants and goodies from Uncle Sam. Well, we share Mr. Wood’sv outrage that any public need might be denied for such a reason. If this is the way things work, then we should be asking for a review, not merely going along with the crowd. □ “ AskiingQ&A AT THE RAPPAHANNOCK Library on Wednesday, January 17 at 8 p.m., an evening of questions and answers on skiing is scheduled, led by Sally and Bob Palmer, certified professional instructors, parents of two U.

PANTHER TALES By Susan Latham ONE WEEK has gone by, ind we’re one week closer :o exams —«so far they’re scheduled for January 17, 18 and 19. I’m sure that will be a dreadful week. Linda Ralls has been nailed the DAR Good Citizen it RCHS, according to an mnouncement * yesterday morning by guidance counselor, J. L. Futrell. This award is given a senior girl each year by the Culpeper Minutemen Chapter of the DAR. SCAT Test results are in. These tests were given to discern scholastic ability: English and Math and & ■ mSupervisors favor banning cans, bottles RAPPAHANNOCK’S Supervisors are so distressed by roadside litter that they’d like to see State of Virginia pass a law banning all throwaway bottles and cans. Chairman of the Board Newbill Miller brought the subject up at last Thursday’s January meeting. He said he’d been asked to sound out the Board’s feelings, and commented himself that it seems that “seven-eights of the litter is throwaway bottles and cans.” Noting that banning such containers is being legally tested in Loudoun County, Miller wondered if a statewide ban might not be more effective. “I think there would be a tremendous amount of support,” he added. Supervisor Herbert Foster agreed. “I don’t know how many tractor tires I’ve had cut by pulling over to the side of the road where bottles have been thrown. They ought to be outlawed.” Commented Miller: “Owning property next to a state road is equivalent to living next to a slum area, where trash is concerned.” Foster moved that a letter be written to Rappahannock’s representatives in the General Assembly, asking that such a law. be considered. The approving vote was unanimous, with Mrs. Betty Coates aoting that the ban would apply to containers for Soft Irinks and beer, not food. □ * * 2 ‘t ^ general achievement in school... The basketball team and several volunteers sold trash cans -last weekend to help finance the team and buy their, uniforms; If you weren’t asked by at least five players between clas) ses, you’re really missing something. What? I don’t know, but it must have been something. Most of the students purchased one of the trash cans which had Rappahannock Panthers printed on.the side. I don’t blame you. Our Basketball Panthers are great. SPEAKING of the Panthers, the teams played Stonewall Jackson on the 5th and Page County on the 9th. Although we lost both to Stonewall, our JV’s won with Page County while the Varsity dropped it. These games were exciting and the JV winning score was 51-37. Keep it up JV’s! Tomorrow night we play William Monroe on their court. In a previous game with them the score was 15-16 in their favor after overtime play. We’re eager to see what will happen this time. The game begins at 6:30 and we want a big turn out to support them. □

Septic tank policy Dr. LeGard warns that he’s tough on standards DR. R. S. LEGARD, chief medical officer, stands ready and willing to be described as a “harsh old man” where strict regulations regarding septic tank developments are concerned. “The average subdivision doesn’t have sufficient land for individual wells and septic systems, and we won’t issue the first permit unless there is adequate land to put in a replacement field without endangering the water supply on the lot in question or the neighboring lots.” Dr. LeGard made this assertion last Thursday to the Board of Supervisors of Rappahannock County, which may be grouped with Fauquier under a new Health Department organization designed to make these departments conform with new planning regions in Virginia. “People may > say I’m a harsh old man, but we’re not going to repeat the mistakes of the past,” Dr. LeGard stated. “And we’re determined to control the sewage problem.” DR. LEGARD made his comments on subdivision controls while beseeching the Rappahannock Supervisors to agree to support a full-time sanitarian for their County. “You’re going to be approached for additional development,” he predicted. “This kind of development is known as recreational development, or ‘second homes,’ and it can be a pain in your r plaything.” 4 . . Such developments are fostered, he went on, by people “who are not citizens; they are out-of-the-area developers, and it gets right messy. Some terrible things have happened in an adjoining county because they were not alert.” Dr. LeGard emphasized that it was not his department’s function to either abet or hinder such developers, just to “help people to build and live decently on the land.” But a full-time sanitarian, at a cost of $716 more to the county per year, would be money will spent, he argued. RAPPAHANNOCK now has “60 per cent” of a sanitarian, the other 40 per cent being used by Page County. As the majority partner, Rappahannock can demand full service from the sanitarian, said Dr. LeGard, ancHet Page do the best it can with state fiealth officials in getting another arrangement. With a full-time sanitarian, Dr. LeGard went on, “we’d be in a position to not allow some of the things that have happened in this county that are now problems.” Chairman Newbill Miller said he thought Dr. LeGard’s suggestion was “satisfactory,” but Supervisor J. R. Latham protested that “we’re not familiar enough” with the situation to make a decision. COMMONWEALTH’S Attorney George Davis was inclined to agree with Miller. “We have a good subdivision and zoning ordinance, but the biggest problem is enforcement and administering, especially septic tank and water requirements. . .We will let a lot of the effectiveness of our ordinances pass us (See page 4) i Panthers lose a pair THE PANTHERS lost a pair of games — one on Friday, one on Tuesday —but continued to provide home fans with close see-saw battles. The Stonewall Jackson team defeated the local cagers 59-38 in a cold shooting game. Harry Jordan shot well in that £ame, getting^ 29 points while the rest of the team only got nine additional points. Against the Page County team Tuesday night, the final score was 59-56. This time four players for Rappahannock were in double figures, but no individual had a really great night. The local team trailed the visitors 3-10 points all through the game. They rallied to within three points in the last minute but couldn’t pull it out. Bobby Smoot got eight points in the last quarter^ including six of six free throws, but it was too little, too late. Coach Jerry Campbell’s JVs got their second win of the last three games, beating Page 51-37 leading , the whole game. Ernie McDonald and Billy Dawson each got 12 and Hodge Miller had 11 to lead a well balanced attack that lacked the numerous mistakes to which JVs are prone. □ H.L.BORDEN LUMBER CO.

I think it is essential for'us to have a full-time sanitarian.” Newbill Miller said he thought so, too, and noted recent complaints from the Calverton-Catlett area in Fauquier County — where “some 70 per cent of water systems are contaminated in just a little area” — as a warning of what could happen in Rappahannock. “You don’t have to go to Catlett,” said George Davis. “A number of the problems in this county are being covered up before they’re properly inspected. You don’t have to go to Catlett, go to Sperryville. . .” Miller added that $716 a year “is not a lot to ask about a matter of health; as close and as tight as I am, I think it would be a good investment.” Mrs. Betty Coates made a motion to approve Dr. LeGardis request, and the motion to approve was unanimous. AFTER THE vote, Dr. LeGard continued to expand on the problems of development and of how his department is determined that some mistakes of the past will not be repeated. “We have learned by our mistakes,” he said. “In some areas, there has been a tendency for some of us to operate with our feelings instead of with our heads. We won’t continue to do this.” Dr. LeGard said his department is determined “to do better to contain the messes from here on,” and freely admitted that his own Health Department6* had shared in the responsibility for some of the “messes” that had already been created. “All I would ask is that we be consulted in any changes, you might be contemplating in land use legislation,” D’r. LeGard added. “There is always a tendency when development starts to ask that minimums be low. I am most strenuously against this. The av jrage subdivision doesn’t have sufficient land for .individual wells and septic tanks, and we won’t issue the first permit until we can be assuredthere is sufficient land to put in a replacement field without •• • •' v . ' '* ’ endangering any water supplies. . Dr. LeGard continued las presentation before the Rappahannock Supervisors by warning that “in the next budget I’m going to ask for funds for a business agent, to free me for more medical duties. . .I’m not a busiriesSman, and I should be devoting my fiiil ftime to foe medical field.” . .V,.. (* HE ALSO foresaw a need for better clinical facilities in Rappahannock,, “a facility the Health Department can work in.” ri- f -■ “This is the first time I have realized that the facilities are not adequate,” said Newbill Miller. LeGard invited members of the Board to visit the clinic and see what he medftt; “We need a place where an undraped female wouldn’t be so uncomfortable she wouldn’t say where she hurts,” vyas the way he put it. He thought that $50,000 of local matching funds would be needed for the sort of facility Rappahannock requires. ’ ’■ •* _ ■ >• “Culpeper put $40,000 in their budget until they had their half, and then built a $300,000 facility,” he said. “It might cost Rappahannock $10,000-$15,000 in escrow each year.” Dr, LeGard emphasized that he wasn’t asking for such a Commitment immediately. “Just think on this with me,” he said. “I’m asking -for $5(1,000 over a period of time; Hill-Burtonh will provide the other half. Orange put up $6^,000 for a clinic, and the state pays them $3,600 a year rent.” h . ? , , SUPERVISOR Latham thought this might be a “good use for revenue-sharing funcls.” Newbill Miller wasn’t so sure. ‘ *!This enters foe field of private versus public medicine, too,”’he’Commented.' “We don’t have any private, medicine now,” noted George Davis. ..-1... “There’s very little private medicine any more,” added Mrs. Coates. ; • ,:\.: But as oDr. LeGard said;' he wasir!t asking for any action — just“thoUght.” The Supervisors said they’d thinic aboiit it. □ .A. REAP program FUNDING OF costsharing activities under the ; Rural Environmental Assistance Program (REAP) and for further contracting under the Water Bank Program (WBP) is being terminated. The U. S. Department of Agriculture said these two programs are among those selected after a review of federal programs to identify those of “low priority that can be reduced or eliminated without serious economic consequences.” This review was initiated as part of the effort to hold 1973 federal budget outlays to $250 billion. The income supplements for farmers that have been provided by the REAP and WBP are no longer necessary, the Department said. Realized net farm income in 1972 will reach an alltime high of nearly $19 aillion. In view of this, and aecause of the general acceptance and profitability >f certain practices, it is believed farmers will continue to implement a significant number of them without supplemental income from the federal government. x THE REAP concept was initiated in the 1930’s to provide cost-sharing incentives to farmers to install soil and water conserving practices on their lands. The program was successful in demonstrating the value of conservation as good farming practice. The Water Bank Program was initiated by recent legislation. It? aim of preserving wetlands for the preservation of waterfowl is desirable, Department officials said, but the program is considered unnecessary since the Department of the Interior admin, isters similar programs to enhance and conserve migratory waterfowl habitat.

Great-grandmother Mitchell is a freshman AT THE AGE of 83, Mrs. Minnie Mitchell is a freshman at the Mountain Empire Community College in Wise County. This active, enthusiastic senior citizen is an inspiration to her fellow 18-year-old classmates; in fact, an inspiration to all who know her, and her family is extremely proud of her. One of her daughters, Mrs. Helen Kilby of Sperryville, reports that her mother has completed the first semester at the college and is now enrolled and has begun the second one. Many people in the Sperryville area are_ acquainted with Mrs. Mitchell through her frequent visits with the Kilby family. Mrs. Mitchell, born Minnie Kelly, taught school back some 60 years ago after qualifying with a short “normal school course,” but marriage at age 20 and the large family that followed over the- years prevented her from ever getting that college experience she had wanted. TODAY, AT the community college near her home, Mrs. Mitchell is enrolled in classes which include History of Western Civilization, Ceramics and General Crafts, Sociology and Philosophy. In the craft class, she is working with a potter’s wheel. Since she suffers from varicose veins, Mrs. Mitchell was worried that her “kicking leg” would not hold up. The sympathetic professor assigned her to the one wheel which was powered by electricity, and Minnie is as happy as any one of her teenage classmates.* She is an A student. MRS. MITCHELL is a widow who lived alone until recently. Now she has a roomer, a sophomore student, in her home. She and her husband reared and college-educated five children during the depression years. All of her nine grandchildren, except one who is still in high school, have completed four to six years of college or are presently enrolled in a college. Terry Kilby of Sperryville is a senior at the University of /Tennessee while Bobby Yowell, Bealeton, is at Bridgewater, and his brother Philip is at Mary Washington. Another granddaughter Mindy Mitchell is at U.C.L.A. Since her husband’s death two years ago, Minnie Mitchell has kept active in clubs and civic activities, namely the garden club, DAR, Daughters of the Confederacy, Order of the Eastern Star, Missionary Society and church groups, including teaching an adult Sunday School class, and a Senior Citizens Club. SHE GROWS flowers, cooks big dinners for a house full of company, reads and reads and reads, “everything even encyclopedias and dictionaries,”, and searches to identify fossils brought her by her grandchildren. When not too involved elsewhere, Minnie is a hostess at the famed June Tolliver Craft House and Drama at Big Stone Gap. She painted walls and furniture all her life but began painting pictures after she turned 65. Of all her studies, Mrs. Mitchell declares she likes “playing in mud” best. She says it is interesting to compare education 65 years ago with modes and programs of today. She says the educational system has changed greatly over the years, and modern education is, for the most part, far more interesting. t Mrs. Minnie Mitchell of Wise County, Va., 83, is a first year student at the new Mountain Empire Community College in that county. She is the mother of Mrs. Helen Kilby of Sperryville. 1 CHESTER GAP “s “s,e,mb Saturday Mr. and Mrs. Bennie Atkins attended the wedding of their niece, Miss Linda Frazier, to Michael Mutnik of Arlington.

Highway death total goes up A GOOD reduction in traffic deaths for December failed to give Virginia the third consecutive year of death reduction, as 1972 deaths totaled 1238 against 1218 for 1971, reports Colonel H. W. Burgess, Superintendent of State Police. A record breaking 114 deaths for March, ^1972 more than made the’difference, he said, noting that .there were only 83 for Mar£c&, 1971. The 120 of December, 1971, were reduced to 108 in 1972. Colonel Burgess said that a rise of about seven percent in traffic volumes lowered Virginia’s rate of deaths per each 100 million miles of travel from 4.0 in 1971 to a tentative 3.6, which compares well with the national average of 4.7. Pedestrian deaths rose from 224 to 244 and those of motorcycle Aiders from 38 to 57. D§aths\of servicemen fell from 6/to59. THERE WERE 1304 deaths, an all time high, in 1969 which were reduced to 1231 in 1970 and to 1218 in 1971. “We had every hope of the third year Of reduction,” Colonel Burgess said, “but we must put our disappointment behind us and work all the harder for a reduction this year, never forgetting that we’ are dealing in human lives and not just cold statistics.” He concluded in saying that all 1972 figures are subject to slight upward revisions due to late reports and deaths of those now carried as injured. Hunt accident rate is low WITH only 36 hunting mishaps reported by early January, Virginia’s hunting accident rate is thankfully trailing behind the more serious tolls of the past two seasons, reports Game Commission Safety Officer J. N. Herrick. Last year, a total of 73 persons were injured, some of them fatally in hunting accidents and in 1971 the toll reached 79 by year’s end. / Most of the 1972 mishaps involved small game hunters, 23 of whom were injured, 5 fatally. Some 27 of the accidents five of which proved fatal involved shotguns. Large caliber rifles were involved in seven accidents, one of which resulted in a fatality. AS USUAL, most of the , accidents occurred at close range and under con* dltions of good visibility, although these include various aspects of careless gun handling and self-in flicted injuries where such conditions do not contri-, bute to the accident. Stumbling and falling with a i loaded weapon was the leading accident type. Six hunters were mistaken for game and four were out of sight of the shooter When hit. Three mishaps occurred when hunters were placing loaded weapons into vehicles or removing them. V« In the accidents where persons were shot by other hunters, safety colors were being warn in only 4 of 19 instances. □ SHOOTING MATCH : ;.. f Friday, January 12 | and every Friday night until further notice * * ’ SPERRYVILLE CARNIVAL GROUNDS J beginning at 7:30 p.m.xKj | Benefit Sperryville Vol. Fire Department $ Prizes: Beef, Hams, Turkeys, Oysters 12-16-20 gauge guns ■ ' -jf r

THE 1972-73 DEER SEASON which ended last Friday resulted in a legal kill of 294 deer. This is the second largest deer harvest in Rappahannock County since specific records have been kept. It also represents an increase of more than a hundred deer over the total taken the previous season. Of the 294 deer taken in Rappahannock, 40 were doe. The last day’s take was 61 and 35 hunters used their second deer tab. By checking stations the breakdown is: STATION TOTAL KILL DOE LAST DAY Sperryville Washington Amissville Chester Gap Flint Hill Adjoining counties 90 64 20 26 65 29 294 22 5 1 3 7 2 40 29 10 5 6 9 2 61 The station at Chester Gap also checked 14 deer from Warren and Fauquier counties and Amissville checked 3 deer from Culpeper County. For the sake of comparison, the following is the number of deer taken by seasons during the recent past: YEAR TOTAL KILL DOE LAST DAY 1972-73 1971-72 1970-71 1969-70 1968-69 1967-68 294 188 205 330 81 49 40 19 52 117 8 61 34 80 179 This past season’s near record kill was accomplished without the aid of a heavy snow ancL.in spite of much rainy weather. ONLY ONE BEAR WAS CHECKED here and apparently the bear kill was down in many areas the past season. A total of eight turkeys were taken in the county; five checked at Flint Hill, two at Washington and one at Amissville. Two turkeys, one each from Fauquier and Warren, were checked at Chester Gap. I would like to express my thanks to the folks who operate the checking stations in the county. These people who work in the stations and check big game give a lot of their time to this job. They do it at no charge to the Game Commission or to the hunters. Those who use the checking stations services might do well to remember them with a kind word. If not right now, at least next season when they stop their work to check a deer, bear or turkey as a free service to you. There have been no hunting accidents reported in Rappahannock County. Rabbit and squirrel, season runs through January 31, statewide while quail and grouse go through February 15 throughout the state.

s >r Park ‘passports’ again available SUPT. Robert R. Jacobsen has announced that two types of annual passes to Federal Recreation Areas are now available at Shenandoah National Park Headquarters, east of Luray. The Golden Age Passport is being issuedlvithout charge to all persons who have reached 62. The permit must be applied for in person and verification of age, such as a motor vehicle operator’s permit or a signed affidavit, must be presented. The non - transferable permit is valid for the calendar year, and affords its owner and any person accompanying him in a single, private noncommercial vehicle free passage ' into any designated Federal Recreation Area at which automobile entrance fees are charged. The permit also entitles its owner to a 50 percent discount on special recreation user fees, as for camp ing and boat launching. THE Golden Eagle Passport is again available for $10, and affords its owner and any person accompanying him in a single, private noncommercial vehicle entrance to any Federal Recreation Area designated as an entrance fee area. The permit is non-transferable and is valid for the calendar year. • These permits will be available also at Shenandoah National Park entrance stations when they reopen later this spring. The daily entrance/day use fee is $2 per day per vehicle; or, if the Park visitor enters the Park by bus or bicycle, the fee is 50£ per person per day for those 16 and older. The daily permit is good for entrance on day of purchase only, and is good only in Shenandoah National Park. The camping fee at Shenandoah remains $2 per night per site, □ Plants are available THE VIRGINIA DIVISION of Forestry has a limited amount of Autumn olive and bicolor lespedezar for sale at $2.50 per 100. Planted as one year old seedlings, these woody shrubs will provide excellent food cover in two to five years for quail, grouse; turkeys and other birds. \ Small -woodf&nd openings and border strips along the edge of a wooded area are good locations for wildlife habitat improvement. For example, a 1/8 acre patch of bicolor lespedezar is enough to feed a cover of quail. a. ■ Order forms can be obtained from Chief Forest Warden, C. W. Jenkins, Sperryville, the county agent or the ASCS Office. To encourage landowner to plant wildlife food patches, the Agriculture Stabilization and Conservation Service has a cost sharing program that will defray part of the cost of sharing. □ MOYERS MOTOR CO., INC.

Snowshoe hares are released THE VIRGINIA Wildlife Research Unit at Blacksburg will release up to 300 snowshoe hare in selected portions of Giles County during the next two winters to determine if this interesting game animal can be reestablished, reports Dr. Burd S. McGinnes, Unit Leader. The animals will be released at high elevations near No Business Creek, Dismal Creek, the North Fork of Stony Creek, Max Meadows and Man’s Bog near Mountain Lake. Beginning December 9 some 20 to 25 hare were released at each site with similar follow-up releases scheduled for March, 1973 and March, 1974. Each animal bears a colored plastic ear tag attached with an aluminum rivet marked VPI. Some of the hare will have radio transmitters attached. Persons who see these animals or recoveir tags are urged to contact VPI or the Game Commission. THE SNOWSHOE or varying hare apparently was native to elevations above 3,000 feet in most of Virginia’s mountains. The snowshoe has apparently been reestablished in Highland County following a release of animals in 1958. Studies of habitat requirements show no apparent competition with white-tailed . deer, grouse or cottontail rabbits. The hare inhabit areas with dense thickets of mountain laurel and rhododendron ahd feed extensively on buds, bark, roots and stems of woody plants, especially in winter. FOLLOWING release the hare will be closely moni- % tored to determine behavior, dispersion, home ranges and reproduction in their new habitat. Field observations will be supplemented by trapping, radio telemetry and trailing with beagle hounds. Gore Funeral Home •The Howe of Thooghtfal Senior ^Culpeper, Vo.

College adds course4 in folklore A COURSE on American Folklife, taught by a wellknown folklorist, Dr. Charles Perdue, is included in the Winter Quarter evening schedule at Lord Fairfax Community College, Middletown. American Folklife (SOCI 157) is a survey of the traditional culture of various ethnic groups in America with an emphasis on Southeastern rural Americans. Courses in folklife and folklore are becoming increasingly popular at many college and university campuses. The strong sales record of “The Foxfire Book” is another index of the intensified public interest in the folk cultural heritage among youth and adults. Dr. Perdue is a fulltime member of the faculty of the University of Virginia specializing in undergraduate and graduate courses in folklore and folk life. He holds Masters and Doctorate degrees in folk lore from the University of Pennsylvania and is an active member of a wide variety of national and region t al societies., and associaf:. tions in folklore and related fields. He and his wife, Nan, have also gained considerable national recognition as performers of traditional and contemporary folksongs and ballads. LOCALLY, they have performed at the annual Farm Craft Days sponsored at Belle Grove, Middletown, each Summer. They are also among the founding members and performers of the Folk Music Society of the Blue Ridge. LORD Fairfax Community College is the first community college in Virginia. to offer credit courses in folklore and folklife. Dr. Perdue assisted the local college to design and initiate a series of these courses within the Virginia Community College System. A course on Virginia Folklife is planned for the Spring Quarter. Registration is now in progress for Winter Quarter courses at Lord Fairfax. The American Folklife course i& scheduled for Tuesday evenings at 7 p.m. in Room 29. The first class began Tuesday evening, January 9. Courses may be taken for college credit or may be audited for non-credit by full time or part time students. □ jf. f.

* Si Sez “THOU SHALT NOT COVET” Three of the words in this commandment ar£ archaic; that is, they are not in common usage. But, I think most of us know what it means. Maybe we could paraphrase it and say: Don’t desire anything that gives you a guilt complex. Bobby Fisher says that in playing against his alter ego he finds himself constantly winning, even though he tries to be fair with his other self. Someone has said that there is a certain amount of larceny in all of us. That may be so. Sometimes when I play solitaire and see an ace in a certain position I find myself trying to shuffle the cards in such a manner that the ace will come into play. Cheating? Well, in the rare instances when I beat 01’ Sol it gives me a lift; I am sure that with most of us winning is a motivating force, whatever the prize. Don’t desire anything that belongs to your neighbor, his home, his position, his car nor anything that ^belongs to him, expecially his wife. It seems . that more trouble is incurred by transgressing this 0 portion of this commandment than anything else. He might have a beautiful home on a hill that commands a beautiful view, okay, that’s his. His position might be a lucrative one with enumerable advantages, and that car, Oboy how nice it would be to take it out on the straight-a-way and open her up. Maybe if you desired these things you might be forgiven, I said might, but his wife is a NO NO. Marriage is like a little prison Where his’n is her’n and her’n is his’n. Most of the time it is a pretty good set-up, so don’t meddle with it. □ FEDERAL and STATE INCOME TAX SERVICE JOHN J.

FOSTER wondered aloud if the matter didn’t warrant further looking into. Miller reminded him that the organizational meeting is coming up fast, and “if Rappahannock doesn’t join, they won’t have 51 per cent of.the population and can’t form the district.’’ Newbill Miller stressed the point, several times, that “this is not one of my pet projects, but I think' it would be a mistake for Rappahannock not to join.’-’ “Let’s put off joining for a while,” suggested Wood. J. R. Latham asked if . membership in the planning district would be of any help to Rappahannock in solving an approaching (From page 1) •if that is necessary — and that the zone extend at least 100 yards east and west of * the school entrance, r The vote in favor of the motion was unanimous. THE DISCUSSION about traffic hazard inspired George Davis to call to Askew’s attention what here-, garded as another hazard, fte’ said loose gravel on the turn lanes at the Washington by-pass has a way of getting onto the paved surface, creating a danger to motorists approaching the highway.: “You could skid right into the line of traffic,” Davis said. ,:: Newbill Miller said he, too, had noticed this condition, and he also thought that the turns into the town’s entries were “too sharp:” - Askew promised to look into the situation. □ •'^, ..f* solid waste disposal prob-* lem. Miller thought it might, especially “in the area of planning." Herbert Foster said he was concerned that agreeing to membership might be signing another one of those “blank checks” of rising costs such memberships have' represented in some past instances. Miller thought that in the present instance, this was not a danger. Mrs. Eileen Day, speak: ing from the audience, suggested that Rappahannock “will have more say on what was being planned for us” if the county were an official member of the planning district. Miller agreed, pointing to a Water Control Board study going on in the county right now, “without any local involvement.” WOOD WAS unmoved: “We just don’t know. Let’s wait and see.’’ George Davis commented: “You have to rationalize this on the basis that the state has gone into this very thoroughly and conr eluded that this is the best course take.. .1 don’t see how we can help but benefit... ” “Just because the state and federal governments want it doesn’t necessarily make it good,” Wood countered. “It’s not one of my pet projects,” Miller remarked. “But I believe we would be behind the times if we didn’t go in.” Mrs. Betty Coates asked if Rappahannpck’s share of the district’s costs would go up “as staff needs are increased.” Davis undertook a reply: “Regional planning is important, and very beneficial to the counties. What happens in one county affects another.. .Unless we have something to say about what goes on...” Wood interrupted: “What would we have to say about the development of Culpeper or Fauquier?” He indicated that he wasn’t will JACK & JILL 116 S.

' ing to buy this argument, j "Maybe it would be more m a question of coordination than controls,” Newbill Miller suggested, adding: "I recall a grant we got to improve our law enforcement. It wasn’t enough to do anything with. But if we’d been able to combine with five counties, it might have been helpful. But I, too, am worried that it might lead to an area government.” MRS. COATES added that she was convinced "this would be of advantage to a small county — a sort of pooling of re■* sources,” and thereupon made a motion that Rappahannock join Planning District 9. Latham seconded the motion. Miller asked for a recorded vote, rather than a show of hands. Only Wood voted “no,” and he-was emphatic about it. “I look at it this way,” explained Foster. “It’ll ■* cost us $1,100 to find out. If we didn’t join, it would put the other counties in a pretty tough squeeze.” BUSINESS proceeded. Purchase of a new filing cabinet for the clerk’s office was authorized, at a cost of some $170, “if you have room to put it in,” smiled Foster. v Clerk E. M. Jones said the county had received a jail report that the Sheriff had asked not be discussed unless he was present. Jones felt compelled to give a report, anyway. The state inspectors, it seemed, want the jail to hire additional guards so there can be an inspection of the inmates every 30 minutes, day and night.” “That’s absolutely the most ridiculous thing .I ever heard,” said Newbill Miller. “We can just forget about that.” “They don’t have that many inspections in hospitals,” said Mrs. Coates. Jpnes' dutifully read the letter, nevertheless. Miller commented when the reading was finished: “We haven’t had any get out bf here, and there’s been a hundred out of Lorton. So we’re not doing so bad.” AS THE last item of business, Mrs. Elizabeth Buntin, superintendent of welfare, appeared. An executive session was called under the “personnel” item allowed in Virginia’s Freedom of Information Act. After some 15 or 20 minutes, the meeting was re promoted Mrs. Patterson B. “Ginger” Biggs has been promoted to assistant cashier at The Fauquier National Bank of Warrenton. Mrs. Biggs, who resides at Flint Hill, will continue to serve as Supervisor of the Bookkeeping Department, a position she has held since August of 1972. Mrs. Biggs joined Fauquier National Bank in May of 1971, and was assigned duties as the assistant to the Installment Loan Officer until her transfer to the Bookkeeping Depart-, ment. „ Mrs. Biggs has acquired much banking experience. Prior to arriving at Fauquier National Bank, she was employed at the Valley National Bank of Harrisonburg for three years and then served at the Bank of Warren in Front 'Ginger* Biggs Royal for four years. Mrs. Biggs graduated from Rappahannock County High School in 1962 and worked as a receptionist for Doctors Dellinger, Iden. and Denton in Warrenton before embarking on her career in banking. □ Local bulls top B.C.I.A. test Fifty B.

The executive session, remarked Miller, was “our first.” It was decided to follow this procedure after Mrs. Buntin had complained about consideration of welfare matters in open meeting. One way to have avoided an executive session, the Supervisors had been told, would be to relegate welfare requests to the Department of Welfare as an administrative process. The Supervisors decided they’d rather keep control over the requests, even if it„ involved closed-door meetings. □ i AN B-'C QUALITY THEATRE IN FRONT ROYAL.
