..O- :v"‘ . '' • } • School planning council is named In an attempt to improve public education and propel Virginia’s public school system into a more productive era, legislation was enacted last year by the General Assembly setting forth standards of quality. The new constitution of Virginia included provisions adopted by the State Board of Education which were revised and enacted into law by the legislature beginning last July. Areas encompassed in the statutes were personnel, instruction materials which included educational television, program, and system-wide planning and management. The State Board of Education was directed to implement rules and regulations necessary for the carry out df objectives. , In Rappahannock County ~a Planning Council has been established and is composed of professional employees of the school division as well as members of theo community. The council is broken down into task forces or smaller committees to work on various aspects of, the program. The local council is headed by Robert Leonard, Director of Instruction of the Warren- Rappahannock School system. The school system must? be expanded to includekindergarten and vocational training, with greater emphasis on adult education and special education. At the same time stress is placed on the accreditation of existing elementary and secondary schools. The regulations may be carried out under school divisions or regions rather than individual counties.. □ Fruit school A series of area fruit schools has been planned to discuss such subjects as weed control, pruning, growth regulators, pesticide regulations, new varieties and spray programs, said Fred Dreiling, Extension specialist in small fruits at Virginia Tech. A school is scheduled for February 15 at the Sperryville Fire Hall. For information, Dreiling suggests that interested persons contact their local Virginia Tech Extension agent. □ ■j* ' '• \ A planning council for quality education in Rappahannock County, as designated by the constitution of Virginia, has been established to work toward the improvement of public education. On the council are seated, Mrs. E. M. Jones, Mrs. Dorothy Butler, Mrs. Mary Quaintance, Miss Charla Sisk, Mrs. A. Y. Stokes, Mrs. T. L. East ham, and Mrs. W. F. Moffett; standing, John Summers, George Patterson, Clayton Turner, E. N. Montague, Edward Gray, Dennis Wingfield, Q. A. Norton, Robert Mead and Robert Leonard. These members are professional school personnel, community citizens and a student. Treasurer Robert L. Brown resigns Robert L. (Jock) Brown has announced his resignation as treasurer of Rappahannock County, effective February 28. An appointment will be made by |he local Circuit Court judge for a replacement to complete the unexpired term of the treasurer. Judge R. V. Snead will be at his office in the courthouse in Washington on Wednesday, January 31 at 2 p.m. to hear anyone who wishes to make a recommendation for a succtssor. That person appointed will assume the duties of the treasurer until the next general election which is this fall. At that time the voters of the county will select a treasurer. Brown, in announcing his resignation, issued the following statement addressed “to the citizens of Rappahannock”: For many years you have given me the privilege of serving you as Treasurer of Rappahannock County, a position to which I was elevated after having served as Deputy Treasurer under the late C. R. Wood from 1936 through 1949. During this" period it has been my belief that those working with me and I should give you the best possible service at all times at a reasonable cost. We have diligently tried to safeguard your tax njoney and toperform to the best of our ability on your behalf. For the past eleven years Mrs. Frances A. Foster has served as my sole assistant. As my health has declined she has taken over mbre and morfe of the duties and in the last year she has performed every task required in the office. Due to my health, I have now found it necessary to tender my resignation to the Honorable R. V. Snead. I appreciate the help and cooperation that everyone has given me and it is my hope that my deputy can succeed me as she is fully able to perform and is totally acquainted with the duties of the office. Car demolished; driver escapes The 1968 Ford driven by Mrs. Addie Keyser of Washington was declared a total loss after it struck a bridge abutment on Route 522 north of Flint Hill last Friday. She escaped serious injury. Mrs. Keyset lost control of the car when she approached a stopped school bus and skidded into the bridge, according to investigating officer Trooper R. A. Baines. She was cited for reckless driving. A two-vehicle collision occurred Monday on Route 522 on the mountain north of Flint Hill, and was investigated by Trooper~G. F. Gregory. Marvin Francis Kreslofs Of Cherry Hill, N. J. driving a 72 Volkswagen, station wagon attempted to pass another vehicle and saw a car approaching from the opposite direction. He failed to get back into his lane soon enough and struck a, 54 Ford operated by Sallie Liliard of Flint Hill. Kreslofs was charged with failing to drive to the (See page 15)

SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 A Delegate agrees NEWSPAPER editorialists have an advantage; they always have the last word in written exchanges. But in the present instance, the last word is being offered, so to speak, to Del. French Slaughter (who probably would have declined, if he’d known.) His report tc^ his constituents this week on his efforts in Richmond at the General Assembly4 includes the following statement: «“In 1968, the General Assembly passed legislation which authorized local governments to create planning district commissions on a voluntary basis. I firmly believe that the decision of any local government as to whether or not to join a planning district commission must continue to be entirely voluntary and state grants for assistance on any projects should not be dependent upon whether or not a locality has joined in the creation of a planning district.” DELEGATE Slaughter’s full report is printed elsewhere in this issue. He makes very well the same point we were trying to make about Rappahannock’s joining a regional planning district. Tying grants to a regional planning district membership is one of the biggest and most restrictive “strings” we’ve ever seen, and here’s hoping Delegate Slaughter’s views find support in Richmond. Let’s hope that Rappahannock has no serious cause to regret its decision to enter into the regional grouping. Of course we’re all for what’s best for Rappahannock and its citizens; that we sometimes disagree on the particulars does not imply lack of respect for others’ opinions. □ ^ LIBRARY If LINES What better way is there to spend leisure moments on these winter days' than with a good book? To Serve Them All My Days by R. F. Delderfield is about England, “emerging from the horrors and bloodshed of the 1914^1918 war into the twenty years of change, upheaval and uneasy peace that ended with the-Second World War. The hero is a schoolmaster, David Powlett-Jones, who survives the dreary slaughter of the Western Front to become a teacher at a remote English “public” school, gradually maturing from a shell-shocked veteran scarcely older than his charges into a great headmaster, whose influence touches and changes the lives of hundreds of boys' who pass through his care.” Eleanor: The Years Alone by Joseph P. Lash is the followup to the author’s Eleanor and Franklin. This volume covers Mrs. Roosevelt’s life from the death of her husband in 1945 through the next seventeen years in a “story that interweaves history and personal drama.” □ Page 2 Barns The barn pictured last week was that of Brent Bozell, formerly owned by J.

This makes me realize that the “For Sale?” editorial in your last paper was written by someone other than yourself. I feel confident that you know that this Board is not now, nor never has been for sale. Such implications are both irresponsible and harmful as they tend to destroy the confidence of the people in their elected officials for no apparent reason other than the writer disagrees with us on this particular issue. You also know that the Board is very careful to insure that the taxpayers money is carefully s£ent. Please let me try to explain why I feel our board voted 4-1 to join Planning District 9. In 1969 Virginia was divided into 22 planning districts including all of the state. As of our last board meeting all of the Planning Districts in Virginia had been organized but ours. Rappahannock by not joining would not affect the Planning District concept in the state of Virginia at all, and would only serve to penalize the majority of the people in Rappahannock county. | | The Planning- District Commission is an advisory body only, joined on a voluntary basis and a locality may withdraw from ther Commission in the futureif it desires. The Planning District should not be confused with the Service Dis - trict which I strongly oppose and a Service District can only be joined l$y referendum. The local cost of a Planning District Commission is 20 cents per capita or about $1,100 for Rappahan nock County. This cost would cover the proposed staff and functions of the Commission. Members of the Commission are not paid for their services and each locality has the same number of representatives. Just as county planning is necessary we felt that area planning would also be beneficial especially in the area of law enforcement, solid waste, water, sewer, (Turn to page 15) Decision defended Editor: It is somewhat bewildering to me of your sudden interest in the formation of the District 9 Planning Commission. As you know, I have served for one full year on the Board of Supervisors and, as yet, had no one to approach me or have I read any editorials that were in disagreement with the concept of Area Planning Districts. Personally, I think area planning is very essential unless you want to waste our resources and create a slum in the midst of us. I am well aware of too much government and I think every citizen should be alert and not run to lock the barn door after the horse has been stolen, but to make their views known through the channels where results might be obtained. Area Planning Districts first started in. 1969, almost four years ago, and District 9 is the last to organize. I strongly oppose any effort by the Planning Commission to implement programs and think the Staffing of the Commission should be approved by the local governments.__ This organization can be beneficial, especially in our rural area, but along with benefits come responsibility and it is the responsibility of this Board to protect the interest of its citizens which 1 believe is foremost in the mind$ of each of us. .

Planning districts '/ >' ' ■;v ; - •* VPIspokesman says they strengthen localities Editor: The last two editions of the Rappahannock News contained strong opinions against the Planning Districts, so I thought perhaps you would like as a community serfice to publish some questions and answers prepared by Dr. J. Paxton Marshall of V.P.I. and comments on Planning District Commissions by Dr. H. Bland Franklin Jr. also of V.P.I. Since most of the citizens of Rappahannock County have not had an opportunity to learn about Planning Districts your making this information available will be appreciated. Evan A. McNear By: H. BLAND FRANKLIN JR., Extension Specialist Community Development Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University ‘LET US take a look at some of the major roles Virginia’s Planning District Commissions are expected to play. First of all one Planning District Commission role is that of: (1) Achieving Intergovernmental Coordination a - mong local, general purpose and special purpose governments or government agencies. This coordination is no longer a matter of convenience, but one of necessity. For example, highway development affects land use patterns which in turn affect water and sewage needs. Water requirements can be related back to location of water impoundments. Land use influences local tax base and how well a locality can provide public services. These interrelationships do not stop at city or county lines. A SECOND role of Planning District Commissions is that of (2) Gaining A Regional Overview. Application procedures for \ many important federal } grant programs require /y that localities file their “Notice of Intent to Apply” through a regional agency for its-review and comment. The Planning District Commissions are serving as this regional agency. This process is known as the A-95 Review Process. The Planning District Commissions, also play the role as an (3) Information Source for Localities. This role refers primarily to planning information and financial assistance programs involving state and federal governments, plus elected types of information needed by and designed to help local governments operate more efficiently and effectively. A FOURTH role is that of (4) Providing a Stronger Voice for Addressing State Government. The Planning District Commission allows for voicing a unified voice in expressing an area’s needs to policymakers at the State level. This role could become increasingly important to small localities. As one small local government, it may be difficult to be heard. However, as a Plan H.L.BORDEN LUMBER CO. Lumber • Millwork • Building Supplies for < QUALITY SERVICE phone 635-6123 Front Royal ning District, there is a good chance they can and will be heard. (5) Providing ^Technical Assistance is certainly another role for Planning District Commissions. The major technical assistance spoken of here is planning assistance. Another important role1 of Planning District Commissions is that of providing (6) A stronger Decision Making Role for Local Governments. There are some who disagree with the accuracy of this statement. They say the planning district effort weakens local autonomy. HOWEVER, I disagree with their views and I will tell you why. Today, so many difficult issues face local governments that they cannot deal with, many times they do not attempt to resolve many of the issues. By doing nothing they risk abandoning tlieir autonomy to higher levels of government. When a specific problem at the local level reaches a certain magnitude, state and/or federal government will step in and do something about it — many times leaving very little de^_ cision-making to the-fcrcaPity. However, a locality by cooperating^ with and coordinating their efforts with neighboringHgcalities, they can retainma^, decision-making prerogaitives at the district level, if not at the county or city level. In my opinion,, a county or city has a much greater chance of successfully explaining their local situation at the state or federal level. (Editor’s note — Dr. J. Paxton Marshall’s Questions and Answers, referred to in Col. McNear’s note, is merely a recitation of basic district commission regulations and responsibilities.) □ FIRE, RESCUE SQUAD Castleton Rescue Squad on January 19 took Bedford Putnam from his home in Castleton to Fauquier Hospital, Warrenton.

grain base allotment notices mailed NOTICES of farm feed grain bases, wheat allot* ments, conserving bases, and established yields for 1973 are being mailed to producers by the Rappahannock Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS) county office, reports ASC Committee Chairman T.R. Taylor. Producers should take a good look at the official notice as soon as it is received, Taylor, said, pointing out that if a farmer believes a mistake has been made in figuring his yields or feed grain base or feels he has been treated unfairly, he has 15 days from the date of the notice to file a written request for reconsideration. f »« J|$ V# •'# swfc- "■ .>••■'V-■ If a farmer has any question he should get in touch . immediately with the ASCS county office. If he wants the ASC county committee to reconsider, he must file this request in writing within the time limit. TAYLOR explained that a Carp /fads’ denounced THE recently glamorized “grass carp” and its predecessor in the spotlight, the “Israeli carp,” are not living up to their reputations as weed eradicators, , according to Game Commission Fish Division Chief Jack Hoffman. Recent articles in national magazines have hailed the white amur or grass >arp as an instant answer to weed-choked ponds, but recent studies indicate that this big member of the minnow family does little to control weeds and may actually compete with game fishes in the pond for plankton and other aquatic organisms. Recent research in Missouri reported by the Sport Fishing Institute indicates that weed consumption is greatest in hot weather and when other food sources are not abundant. Fishes in test tanks ate freshwater shrimps in preference to aquatic weeds at low temperatures and ate weeds as a side dish as temperatures increased. COONTAIL, one of the most common problem weeds, was spurned by the grass carp, but other species of aquatic weeds were eaten. Algae, one of the leading problem aquatic growths, formed only 9%of the diet in one study. “We feel that the weed control prospects of the grass carp are highly overrated and, if proposed legislation passes giving the Commission authority to prevent the importation of undesirable fishes, we would place the grass carp on this list,” Hoffman said. “As for the Israeli carp, we get about as many calls about, how to remove them from lakes as inquiries Country Property for Sale — Madison County, Va.

The Israeli carp is merely a strain of the common carp, which is well established in all Virginia waters and poses no greater threat if it escapes. The grass carp is a different species of minnow, and the consequences of liberating it in state waters cannot be assessed at this time. □ farmer may appeal to the state committee if he still feels there is a mistake or an inequity after the county committee has reconsidered. Appeals on conserving bases may be made any time through March 16, which is the end of program sign-up, but appeals on wheat yields, feed grain yields and feed grain bases must be made by or before February 9, 1973, which is the 15th day from the date of the official notice. The appeal period for wheat allotments was several months ago when producers received their first official notice following announcement of the 1973 program. The current notice serves only as a reminder to the producer of his farm’s wheat allotment, Taylor said. SIGN-UP for the 1973 feed grain and wheat programs begins February 5 at the ASCS county office and continues through March 16. The ASC Committee Chairman reminded producers that requests for measurement service and set-aside inspection are being accepted now at the county office and said the earlier such requests are made, the earlier the service will be provided. Measurement services are provided at cost by the ASCS county office in order to help farmers be certain they are complying with requirements of farm programs in which they participate. □ MIDWINTER FURNITURE BRAND-NEW HOME FASHIONS!

Del. French. Slaughter reports THE third week of the 1973 session of the Gen, eral Assembly is deluged e .with more and more legislation on nearly every subject. January 24 was the last day for tre introduction of legislation for a session that is predicted to last until February 24. . The protection of the environment is the subject of a bill I have introduced which will require a review of environmental considerations for major state building projects prior to construction with the final decision to be made by the Governor. The till does not apply to projects now under way or for which appropriations have already been made. This legislation is a recommendation of the Virginia Advisory Legislative Council and its Land Use Policies Committee of which I am serving as chairmar. The bill provides that the state in its own activities and projects should consider environmental impact in much the same manner as state facilities are required by law to control air and water pollution caused by these facilities. Highway projects are excluded because the com" mittee has not had time to study this field and environmental reviews are required on many of the projects if Federal funds are involved. I HAVE introduced another bill which will prohibit public utilities from cutting trees or destroying any property when making a preliminary survey on private property without an easement from the property owner. This is intended to eliminate the abuse in certain cases by public utilities in making surveys without permission of the landowner. A similar bill has been introduced in the Senate and I am hopeful that the legislature will pass one of these bills. PLANNING district legislation ha^been suggested this session by a committee appointed by the Governor known as the Hahn Committee. In 1968 the General Assembly passed legislation which authorized local governments to create planning district commissions on a voluntary basis. I firmly believe that the decision of any local government as to whether or not to join a planning district commission must continue to be entirely voluntary and state grants for assistance on any projects should not be dependent upon whether or not a locality has joined in the creation of a planning district.

An Equal Opportunity Employer grants but it certainly should be the policy of both state and Federal governments to consider grants in aid to local governments based only on the merits of the projects. PUBLIC hearings are tc be held by committees on a number of bills of widespread interest. Among th-. ese are hearings on the Equal Rights Amendment on February 1 at 10 a.m. in the Capitol, pari-mutuel betting on January 29 at 3 p.m. in the Ninth Street Office Building, and on blue laws on January 30 at 3 p.m. in the Capitol. Committee action on th- ■ ese bills will probably be taken within a week to ten days after the public hearings. Next week I shall report on other activities of the 1973 General Assembly. □ HUNTLY NEWS MRS.

H. Cross. Decreases from last year’s totals were noted in Alleghany and Augusta counties with slight drops also in Bath and Clarke counties. The total represented an increase of slightly over 1,000 above last year’s total for the western portion of the state. Non - resident license sales were down in Alleghany, Augusta and Bath counties and this apparently had some effect og deer harvest. A higher priced Virginia non-resident big game license plus the adoption of a nearly identical season in West Virginia may have contributed to this decline. Hunting pressure generally appeared to be lower in these counties although there is no way to quantitatively measure it. Deer throughout the state this year seem to be large, heavy with fat and carrying heavy antlers apparently because of the abundance of mast last winter. Hie bear kill so far seems to be running behind last year’s success rate. □ PUBLIC SALE SATURDAY, JANUARY 27, 1973 Having sold my farm and discontinuing farming, we will sell the following personal property located in Castleton, Rappahannock Co. one half mile off Route 626.

Box 148, Madison, 22727: PANTHER TALES By Susan Latham Hello again! Exams are over and relief is here, except for receiving our grades. The lucky Seniors have seen their last exam for the school year if they have a B average. Elation was visible on many faces in the halls and classrooms while others were slightly disappointed. Well, it’s all right now, baby, it’s all right now. The Panthers played Madison last Friday before a full house but the games ended in defeat for us. Montevideo was reckoned with Tuesday, and although the Panthers played a great game we fell back in the final quarter. In a previous game with Montevideo, a final decision required overtime which favored them. Tuesday night the Panthers pulled ahead at one point but were overcome in the final quarter. Tomorrow night, Friday, we will meet Elkton at home here, so get your tickets early and come help urge the local cats to victory. For some odd reason the Wool payment deadline near JANUARY 31 is the latest date on which 1972 wool and mohair applications may be filed in order for producers to receiye incentive payments in April, according to T. R. Taylor, Chairman of the Rappahannock County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation (ASC) Committee. To file for incentive payments on 1972 marketings of wool, unshorn lambs, and mohair, a producer need only provide sales documents and fill out a short application form. Sales documents should include name and address of the seller, date of . sale, net weight of wool or mohair sold, number of head and liveweight of unshorn lambs sold, gross and net proceeds, and name, address, and signature of the buyer or the marketing agency making the sale. The incentive payment price is 72 cents a pound for wool marketings with payments based on a percentage of each producer’s returns from sales. The percentage will be that required to raise the national average price received by all producers up to the 72 cents incentive price. MOHAIR payments are figured in the same way as wool, with a support of 80.2 cents a pound. The ASC Committee Ch airman also said that the U.S. Department of Agriculture has announced that the wool and mohair payment program will continue unchanged for 1973, with the* same level of incentive prices. These prices are in accordance with the law which requires that support shall be at these levels for each of the three marketing years through 1973. □ Print show A SPECIAL exhibit of “Prints: 1500 to 1900“ will be on display through January 26 for students and the general public in the exhibit hall at Lord Fairfax Community College in Middletown.

Saturday another game will be played in th e high school gym. The RCHS girls team will compete with the Womans Club while the Rappahannock Jaycees play the Orange Jaycees. We’ll want to see our Panther girls in action and I understand the local Jaycees are pretty good too. Let me correct a terrible mistake I made several weeks ago.

The Chairman (From page 2) mental health and drugabuse. The Commission will also serve as a liaison between county and local governments giving them an organized effort to affect state and federal legislation. The Commission gives Rappahannock an equal voice in area decisions. As of July 1,1973 most if not all Federal funds (excepting school, welfare and highway construction) will be channeled through the District Planning Commissions and in most Federal departments (HUD & Environmental Protective Agency) localities not belonging to a Planning District will not be eligible for federal funds. Federal funds have been used in the past in Rappahannock County without strings attached. The Sperryville Rescue Squad7 was organized and the ambulance purchased with a majority of/Federal Funds, -radios (or the Flint Hill and Amissville Fire Departments were purchased mostly with Federal funds Wrecks (From page 1) right of the center of the road. Damage to his car was estimated at $400 and to the Ford at $800. Mrs. Katherine Huff of Flint Hill, a passenger with Miss Lillard, sustained a forehead laceration. She was treated and released at Warren Memorial Hospital, Front Royal where she was taken by Front Royal Rescue Squad. □ (no strings attached). When the Sperryville sewer system is installed Federal funds will be necessary. (In the past Federal grants and loans for this project were arranged without strings attached, although unused). These are facts not theory. Rappahannock, by not using these Federal funds, would not be saving our tax* dollars as they would be spent in other localities. This Board does not'tenact the Federal or State programs. If a citizen is displeased with Federal or State legislation or policy the proper place to rectify this problem is with' the State or Federal representative, not local officials. Rappahannock joined the Commission with reservations aware of the pitfalls that could lead to Regional Government which we strongly oppose, fully aware that we could withdraw in the future if necessary. After discussing the Planning District Commission for three years and consulting with numerous Supervisors from the recently formed Lord Fairfax Planning District (Warren, Clarke counties etc.) who unanimously stated that they would join again, we felt compelled to try and work within the system to take a realistic appioach to the problem by doing what, we felt was best for a vast majority of the people of Rappahannock.

W. Fletcher and daughter Bucky Slater on the point-to-point race course near Sperryville._ Rep. Robinson predicts curbs REP. J, Kenneth Robinson said in Winchester Tuesday night fhat “there are indications that the President’s budget will be an austere one from the standpoint of existing social welfare programs.” Robinson said he expected the President to “emphasize extension of the revenue-sharing principle, with the addition of special revenue sharing programs to the present general revenue sharing.” Speaking to the Shenandoah Valley Manufacturers Association at the Winchester Country Club, the Seventh District Congressman acknowledged that eliminating various federal grants for specific purposes in the fields of healr th and education, in favor of discretionary state and local allocation of large lump sums, would encounter opposition. “I HAPPEN to agree with the President that there are entirely too many rigidly-defined federal programs of so-called grants -in-aid to the states and localities, and to quasipublic instrumentalities,” Robinson said. Robinson noted the President’s nomination of Caspar Weinberger, “a tough budget man,” as Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare and said: “As I serve on the House Appropriations Subcommittee which has to deal with the huge and complex budget of this department, I take some comfort in this nomination.” “I HOPE that the President’s budget-recommendations, and Weinberger’s! (administration of the De .partment, will produce a drastic trimming of the fat which I am convinced is to be found in the programs of HEW. “Public health programs, and programs in education, are most important to the nation, the community and the family, but we simply have not been getting, in my view, the most efficient application of the available funds.” CARD OF.

Crumpton, social security district manager in Winches'ter. “Dates of application for benefits should be established when it appears you may not be able to return a signed application to social security until the following month and may lose some benefits,” Mrs. Crumpton said. “And when you call, you must express your intention to claim benefits.” “The date you apply for social security benefits can be important,” she said, “especially if retroactive payments are involved.” People who fail to apply for social security payments at the time they become eligible may be able to get back payments —but only for up to 12 months before the month they apply. “The date of application helps determine how many months can be paid in back payments,” Mrs. Crumpton said. Previously the date was established by the postmark on a written inquiry HORSESHOEING, hoof trimming, same day service. Brian C.
