The final score was 60-55 with the Panthers leading by over 10 points, much of the way. The half time score was 34-18, Rappahannock. Harry Jordan again led scoring with 20 points and 23 rebounds. He out rebounded the entire Elkton team which had only 18 as a total. Guards Bobby Smoot and Dale Russell had good nights with 11 points each.

The offensive didn’t have the punch. Jordan had (See page 11) Another ‘super THE RAPPAHANNOCK LIBRARY will again sponsor a “Super Flea Market” on July 4'in Washington ya. Although planning is still in the initial stage, it is not too soon (only 154 days) for Rappahannock . citizens ,to start cleaning out or to start thinking about cleaning out closets, barns, or what-haveyou for Super Flea Market items. Men’s and ladies’ clothes, jewelry, baby things, old junk, items for a garden shop, hats, books, quality items for the Fine Things Shop, and many other articles will be needed to stock the various shops being planned. “Between now and July 4,” said Col. Pete Luke, chairman for the 1973 Super Flea Market, “we will keep everyone informed of our plans as they become firm.” Colonel Luke also expressed hope that “all citizens interested in the Rappahannock Library will help make the 1973 Super Flea Market a success.” □ School registration dates CHILDREN WHO WILL ENTER the first grade in Rappahannock County next year will be registered at the Rappahannock County Elementary School on Wednesday, February 14, 1973 frojn 9 a.m. to noon and from 1 to 3 p.m., it was announced today by O.A. Norton, Superintendent of Schools. Every child in the county who will be six years of age on or before October 1, 1973 is to be registered by his parent or guardian at this time. In order that adequate educational planning may be accomplished, it is very important that all entering first graders be registered on this day. PARENTS ARE REMINDED that they must present an official copy of their child’s Birth Certificate at the time of registration. Parents who do not have an official Birth Certificate should bring $2.00 to cover the cost of securing this record. - The Public Health Nurse, Mrs. Frances Thornton, will be present at this registration session to explain to parents the required procedure for health examination and immunization of these pre-school children. □ Mrs. James F. Massie of Amissville, who is in charge of trophies for the annual Rappahannock Point-to-Point Races, holds one of the cups which will be awarded for the new brush race to be introduced on the March 3 race card. Viewing the trophies, which are given by Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Durant II of Boston, Va., are Judge R. V. Snead of Washington and Mrs. James P. Jamieson and J. W. Fletcher of Sperryville. The 25th running of the Rappahannock Point-to-Point will take place on Fletcher’s Thornton Hill Farm against a spectacular backdrop of Blue Ridge Mountains. Brush race is added THE 25TH RUNNING of the Rappahannock Point-to-Point Races on March 3 will have the “new brush look.” With the introduction-of the Durant Hill Hurdle, Rappahannock’s nine-event race card now boasts two races over brush; one an open race and one for ownerriders. Last year, the brush race — with minimum weight set at 145 pounds, open to professional and amateurs alike had so many entries it had to be run in two sections. This year the same open hurdle will be the fourth race on the card. The new Durant Hill Hurdle race, the sixth event, is'the innovation andwill ■ be offered for owner-riders with mini mum weight of 175 pounds. ANOTHER NEW FEATURE of the Rappahannock Races is that a piece of plate will be given for place and show as well as win, in all horse races, timber, flat and brush. ? By public demand, the first race, the popular pairs race for members of recognized hunts, will start at 11:30 a.m., a half hour earlier than in previous years. The final event, the unique and colorful .hound race, will climax a full day of sport in the Virginia countryside. The race course is located on Route 522 a mile and a half south of Sperryville on Thornton Hill Farm, owned by Mr. and Mrs. James W. Fletcher. □

SARAH C. LATHAM, Menacing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3340 Wise policy WE HOPE MEMBERS of the Board of Supervisors were paying attention at their January meeting, when Dr. R. S. LeGard, chief health officer, warned of difficulties that could develop from improperly controlled residential developments . The specific type of development Dr. LeGard mentioned concerned the so-called “secondhome,” or “recreational home” category, but the point he? made about regulations for these development ventures is applicable to all types of new construction. Dr. LeGard warned that at the risk of being denounced as a “harsh old man,” he and his department are going to insist that all new septic tank installations include not only a proper drainfield — one that “percs” and otherwise meets all Health Department requirements — but sufficient land to allow for repairs of that system, as well. * The reason is simple. Sanitary engineers regard a septic system as a “temporary” solution, at best. Some of the most generous estimates of their lifetime extend only 20 years or so, although we all have heard of exceptions. Where such a system is installed on a large farm, there’s usually little problem. Even if the system eventually malfunctions; there’s always room to lay out a new field. It’s when houses are jammed and crammed into a small lot subdivision, each on a separate septic tank and probably on separate wells, that you get serious problems. HEALTH OFFICIALS in adjoining Fauquier County are thinking of rewriting the rules to require if not two complete drainfields, at least a drainfield and 75 per cent of another, to allow ample room of repairs. They say that these requirements should prevail regardless of the particular zoning for a given area — that the systems should be approved on the basisr of what specific soil conditions in that area will support. ^t snakes a lot of sense. The discussion, however, also points up the special effort it takes to properly control new development. As we said, we hope Rappahannock’s officials were paying attention. C Pony Club planned •3 A United States Pony Club is being formed in Rappahannock County. The club members-to-be are very enthusiastic, and anxious to get going. We will need a great deal of adult support, as this is quite an undertaking. Our formative meeting, at which all sponsors will meet with club members, will beheld at 7 p.m. on Thursday, February 8 at Blue Rock Farm, across from the Rappahannock High School. Any and all interested adults are invited to be with us. Show your support for Rappahannock’s young equestrians! Pony Club Committee .5 Barns Mrs. Alice Lawrence of Amissville correctly identified last week’s barn as that of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Sealer at The Kennels, and will receive a year’s free subscription to the Rappahannock News. Only one other individual recognized and reported on the barn, Mrs. Nannie Weaver of Hume. Here is another one to guess. PANTHER TALES By Susan Latham Several meetings were held this week involving different clubs, and classes. Monday the Annual Staff met and I assume they are on their way to completing the yearbook. Patron ads are now on sale and available for $2.00 or your donation. These will help to complete the financing of the annual and give you a place to say what you want, almost. The Junior Prom committee met Tuesday to finalize plans for a band and for decorations. Only two Seniors were spotted lurking near and silence became the golden key. The Senior class held a meeting Friday but a report was not available for today. A review of the past week’s basketball games shows things are looking up. Friday the Panthers met Elkton and grabbed a 60-55 victory. The JV’s bowed in defeat both Friday and on Tuesday at Central. The Varsity hung in there, but their fate was the same with Central as the juniors. Saturday the Eighth Grade team played Page County and came home with a victory in their pockets. The score was 38-27 and high scorer was Aubrey Russell with 12points. Darnell Carter had 11 points and Keith Roberts added 10. The whole team did a great job and we’re expecting more in the years to come. Get it on, Beasties!!! Also on Saturday our girls basketball team did very well. They beat the Rappahannock Womens Club in a very exciting and amusing game. The final score was tallied at 38 to 3. Friday they will come to our court to play. Start thinking about the marvelous Sweetheart Dance. February 16 is the date and it is for the student body so DON’T FORGET. Who are you going with M.S.O.? □ LIBRARY LINES Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach is an “illustrated parable concerning a seagull-who learns aerobatics... Jonathan yearns to learn to fly better and faster than any other gull. His mother urges him to act like the other gulls and eat better (“Son, you’re bone and feathers!”). His father tells him that life is hard. Jonathan can’t help himself.. Bach has explained the message to Jonathan: “Find out what you love to do, and do your darndest to make it happen.” Food and Flowers for Informal Entertaining is a “cookbook for busy people who love good food, pretty tables, and easy hospitality. It includes recipes and menus for family-size meals and for gatherings of up to fifty people (including young children, teenagers and adults). Suggestions for big and little holidays, fund-raising parties and other club functions, and for varied personal occasions are given in detail.” □

Richmond legislative report BY DEL. D. FRENCH SLAUGHTER, JR. OVER 1,128 bills and resolutions have been introduced in the General Assembly as the- deadline for the introduction of, bills became effective last week. The various committees of the House of Delegates and Senate will now begin to consider and act upon this legislation. I have introduced two bills dealing with state grants to planning district commissions. One bill pertains specifically to the State Water Control Board and prohibits any consideration as to whether or not a locality has joined a planning district commission in determining whe ther or not that locality receives state funds for water and sewer facilities. Of course, the legislature cannot do anything about Federal grants but these grants should be based entirely upon the need of the facilities to abate pollution. The other bill makes the same provision generally for grants of state funds to localities. ALSO, I am a co-patron of a resolution for a state constitutional amendment requiring approval by a vote of the people in each county and city before any regional district commis sion could impose taxes, levy service charges or borrow money. The state constitution probably provides this protection now but the amendment would remove any question. The blue law, or Sunday closing law, is the subject of many proposed amendments and at this time it is uncertain what action the General Assembly will take. This law should be made as practicable and workable as possible and certainly the provision al- . lowing Sunday openings if the business contributes the profits earned on Sunday to charities cannot be justified and should be re WOODVILLE NEWS By MRS.

THE Appropriations Committee of the House of Delegates continues its consideration of the budget and a supplemental budget bill will be reported to the House of Delegates next week. Additional appropriations for public education, mental health, penal institutions and employee pay raises will be made but there is widespread concern about appropriating all of the money expected from the Federal revenue sharing grants during the next year because it is quite possible that other Federal grants will be reduced during the coming year. □.

Division Chief Dick Cross. Southampton County led the state with 2,711 animals reported, while Rockingham led the Western Counties and ranked second in the state with 1,902. Many Piedmont Counties jumped over the 1,000 mark for the first time, most notably Fluvanna County, where 1,531 were tagged; Amelia with 1,223;- Cumberland with 1,221; Powhatan with 1,044 and Chesterfield with 1,003. Buckingham continued to rank as a top deer county with 1,784 as did Bath County in the West with 1, 685. The total deer kill was some 3,000 above biologist’s estimates for the season. Growing herds, coupled with a year of scarce mast, which forced deer to forage in open Helds where they were more vulnerable, was credited with the dramatic increase in kill. The doe take stayed below the critical 35% mark in nearly all Virginia counties end was below 25% in most.

Troopers from this school will report to permanent duty stations February 5. Trooper vacancies still exist and information concerning these positions may be obtained from State Police personnel or installations, according to Col. H.W. Burgess, Superintendent of the State Police. □ Few bears were shot / An almost complete lack of mast-in Virginia’s bear range was cited by most Game Commission Biologists in explaining the extremely low total of 143 bears bagged in the state last fall. The Virginia bear harvest usually fluctuates up and down in precise step with the mast crop for reasons not yet completely understood. Abundant mast may result in the bears being widely scattered and actively feeding during the entire bear season, while little or no mast forces the bears to hole up and restrict their movements and thus their availability to hunters. Rockingham County had the highest total with 20 bears. □ FOR All SEASONS VY FORD’s 4400 TRACTOR . A rugged, powerful tractor well suited for almost any job. • .

Jaycee cage The Jaycees’ Saturday night basketball series is doing well. The second game which was with Orange made over $200 toward the outdoor courts for the high school. The preliminary game Saturday between the local high school girls and the Woman’s Club was a trifle lopsided. The final score was 36-3 in favor of the younger'ladies. A total of 25 local girls and women saw action to the delight of the assembled friends and relatives. The star of the night for the girlg team was Marion Skowronski with 10 points. Linda Davis was the Woman’s Club offensive star getting two thirds of their points. Judy Harrison was the defensive stand out, roaming the court like a pool ball and out jumping all opponents (shorter than she was). The main event was another victory for the local chapter of the Jaycees, 8457 over the Orange County Jaycees. Stand outs for Rappahannock were Dean Hahn with 20 points and FEDERAL and STATE 5 INCOME TAX SERVICE JOHN J. ZUNKA Warren Paint & Sapply Company 415 East Main St. FRONT ROYAL, VIRGINIA C. E. Dodson and Fred Fisher who contributed 14 each. Julian Brown tossed in 10; Jonas Jenkins 8; Maury Nichols 6; Ronnie Pullen and Kent Henry 5 each and Roy Atkins 2. The local chapter is now 2-0 and this Saturday night they meet their toughest opponent so far, the Harrisonburg Jaycees, who will come over the mountains with one of the best teams to play here in years. They are 4-0 in Harrisonburg’s city league with the smallest man u» squad 5 foot and two who stand 6-5. This will surely be one of the most exciting games in quite a while and the public is urged to attend and support the Jaycee project. □ Robinson sees budget challenge Rep. J. Kenneth Robinson (R., Va.), in a statement, made this comment on President Nixon’s budget message: “The President has offered Congress a proper challenge — to demonstrate a capacity for fiscal responsibility. “I was encouraged by his emphasis on the necessity of adopting a spending ceiling at the outset of the appropriation process, and I am sponsoring a bill to require this. “The figures set forth in the budget make plain that the critical and persistent deficit situation cannot be eased without cuts in numerous programs having substantial public support. “The proposed extension of the revenue - sharing concept will test the willingness of the people to trust state and local governments to meet community needs without specific guidelines from the Washington bureaucracy.” □ Turkey bag was high In spite of complaints that turkey hunting wasn’t as good as it was in the 1971 season, Virginia hunters managed to bag a total of 4,001 this season which was up from the 3,663 bagged last year, reports Game Commission Field Coordinator C. H. Shaffer. Leading counties were Bath with 418, Rockbridge with 363, Augusta with 311, Botetourt with 301 and Frederick with 272. Shenandoah and Highland counties also ranked high with 261 and 258 respectively while Rockingham recorded 226. *' WE HAVE BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR 72 YEARS WE MUST BE DOING SOMETHING RIGHT : f FRIGIDAIRE APPLIANCES l\EW HOLLArvD Farm IMPLEMENTS k i Through Our Doors Hove Passed the Finest People in the World in the Last 72 Years— —Our Customers—. —Our Friends.

Sign-up for the 1973 feed grain and wheat programs is scheduled February 5 through March 16 at the County ASCS Office. Participants in the feed grain set-aside program will decide whether to sign up for the 30% plan or the 15% plan. Wheat producers must determine whether they want additional setaside beyond that required for participation. THOSE are the main pro Tax help THE Accounting and Tax students of Lord Fairfax Community College will give free federal income tax assistance to persons needing it in filing the new 1040-A short form. Assistance will also be available to those who file the long form and whose income consists of wages, salaries, dividends, and interest.. This program, Volunteer Income Tax Assistance, is held in cooperation with the Internal Revenue Service and utilizes the students and facilities of Lord Fairfax Community College.

Most local offices will be open on Saturdays during the filing season, and there is a toll free number available to all local residents if they have questions. That number is 1-800-552-9500. □ gram decisions a farmer will make, once he decides to be in one or more of the programs. His entire farm operating plan for the year is tied in with his decisions on farm program participation. Before he signs up, he will want to know what land he is going to set aside if he’s in the feed grain or wheat programs, and he will have decided what cr-^ ops he’s going for — whether he will substitute crops, whether he will grow an alternate crop on his set-aside and take a payment reduction. Substitution is continued in the 1973 farm programs, the ASC committee chairman pointed out. He explained that substitution means a producer may choose among the following crops — corn, grain sorghum, barley, wheat, soybeans — and still preserve his farm’s base or allotment record, earn program payments, and be eligible for loans so long as CARD OF THANKS I would like to express appreciation to Flint Hill Rescue Squad, my minister, relatives and friends for the cards and many kindnesses before, during and after my recent hospitalization.
