Muzzle Puzzle, owned by Witold Kuncewicz, winner of ‘72’=s Hurdle Race by 10 lengths, will defend his title. Among officials of the forthcoming Rappahannock Races will be two Olympic stars, who will act as race starters: Major Mike Antonewicz, winner of both a silver and bronze medal, and Captain Stuart Treveranus of the Canadian Equestiran Team.

SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Democracy foiled ANYONE WHO MIGHT still be wondering why newspapers—especially this one—carry on so much about closed-door meetings need only consider the example of Prince William County. The so-called “reform supervisors” in that hapless jurisdiction have throughout their term demonstrated a distressing proclivity for conducting all public affairs in private, and now they’ve managed to top themselves. Only one short week ago, the Supervisors announced to a surprised and at least partly distressed public (if not everyone was distressed, perhaps it was because they were stunned, and incapable of any kind of reaction), that the Marriott Corporation had accepted an “invitation” from the Supervisors to establish in Prince William their hokey, “Great America Theme Park” which had been booted out of Howard County, Md., after environmental and economic impact studies had revealed that it would have been a disaster. JUST LIKE THAT. No serious preliminary warning to the public. A flat announcement, after months of secret meetings and secret dealing, and with what amounted to a pre-judging of any information that might have been brought out in a re-zoning hearing. So eager are the Supervisors to ram this project down everyone’s throats that even the normal procedure of hearings is being scrapped—possibly in an attempt to head off a growing, if belated, tide of Protest. A joint planning commission-board of supiervisors hearing has been set for simultaneous consideration of both re-zoning and use permit considerations—with six of the seven Supervisors on record as already in favor of the re-zoning and the use permits. How about that, democracy fans? THIS IS WHAT YOU GET when Boards of Supervisors or any other public body gets used to meeting in private. Frankly, we think the resident press in Prince William has not hollered loud enough about the endless “executive sessions” of their Board of Supervisors, called on the slightest pretext and with only the loosest possible interpretation of Virginia’s Freedom of Information Law. Mark- us down as sounding like a broken record on this subject if you will, but once a Board of Supervisors—or a School Board, or a Board of Zoning Appeals, or a Planning Commission— gets in the habit of considering all important, and therefore controversial, issues behind closed doors, then the Prince William situation is what you get. □ Barns The barn last week was that on the farm of Mr. and Mrs. Ivar Jacobs near Viewtown and was correctly identified by Mrs. Mary Magee of Amissville who will receive a year’s subscription to the Rappahannock News free for being so alert. Others who recognized the structure were Randolph Poe and E.L. Weakley Letters to the Editor ‘No justice in county* Editor: This is what I think a; bout the laws in Rappahannock County. > My car was confiscated in October for shooting a deer out of season^ and my gun also. The day of court, I was found guilty. I got my car back, but not my gun. The Commonwealth’s Attorney let my lawyer have the gun by my sayso for a hundred dollars, or I didn’t get anything. Naturally, I took the money. My father offered $150 for .the gun, but they wouldn’t let him have it. The day of court, I was supposed to get my car back. They wouldn’t release it until the bank sign ed for it. I couldn’t get the car because the bank was closed on the weekend. That same weekend, the tires and mag wheels were stolen off my car behind the court house. They caught the person who stole them. I went with the Deputy Sheriff to pick them up. I had to pay a tow bill and buy more tires and wheels to put back on it. I waited for four months and thought sure they would do something about it. I called the Deputy Sheriff on February 19 and he told me I didn’t have to come to court because the trial had been nolle prossed. So, you see for yourself how the laws are in this county. Someone steals the tires and things off youi car and they don’t do anything about it. See how I feel? Because if one person can get away with stealing then anyone else can. If you need to buy anything from this county, save your money. Steal it. If they catch you they won’t do anything about it. I have talked to different people about this, and they feel the same way I do. If there is anyone who agrees with me, give me your opinion. Rappahannock County doesn’t have any justice. Joseph A. Smith Sperryville ‘Theft of fresh air’ Editor: Washington area noses according to a recent news story, were assaulted by an unpleasant odor like “sewage on the loose” that sent 40 District of Columbia environmental inspectors scurrying about fruitlessly for the hidden source. The highly obnoxious smell enveloped many counties as well as part of the District area, was very unpleasant to everyone and re-minded some smellers of the odor that paper mills often give off. A Montgomery County environmental health officer. in fact, guessed that strong winds might have blown the stench in from Front Royal, Virginia, 70 miles from the District, where, said the news item, “one of the nearest paper mills is located.” I live about ten miles south of Front Royal, and like thousands of others in this area I am often assaulted by this nauseous rotten egg stench, but I know of no paper mill located in Front Royal. For more than 40 years, however, Front Royal has been the home of the American Viscose Corporation rayon fiber manufacturing plant, and it may interest everyone within smelling dis tance—and as we see this is getting to be pretty far indeed—that only recently did the Virginia State Corporation Commission decide to hold a public hearing on the subject. Incredibly, spokesmen for the company, including present and past employes, denied the existence of any foul odor, some of them asserting that one smell is pretty much like another, and that even bakeries smell! The board, however, gave the company just 60 days to draft a plant program to eliminate or reduce the odor. From past experience I (Seepage 15)

T > *** H E L I T T L e F 0 X Richmond legislative report By DEL. O'. FRENCH SLAUGHTER JR. THE GENERAL Assembly is now in the last week of the 1973 session. It is difficult to report anything definite about the more controversial bills that are being voted upon during the last week because these bills are so frequently amended during their course through the legislature. The fate of the parimutuel bill will be decided by the General Laws Committee of the House of Delegates or by the full House of Delegates this week. In its present form the bill would not become law until approved by the people in a state-wide referendum as well as a referendum in the county where pari-mutuel betting would be allowed and the counties and cities adjoining that county. It is possible that this bill y will be amended in several respects before the final vote. Many members of the legislature have seribus reservations about this bill but there is less inclination to vote against a statewide referendum on the issue. THE BLUE law or Sunday closing law has been amended by separate bills passed by the House of Delegates and Senate. There are differences in these bills, particularly as to enforcement provisions. I am concerned that the enforcement provisions are being made more complicated than at present. I do approve of the provision which repeals that part of the present law which allows stores to stay open on Sunday if the proceeds from Sunday sales are donated to charities. This provision is in both bills which have passed so far. Another provision in both bills allows unrestri cted food sales on Sunday and this will allow many more stores to be open on Sunday which I do not favor. WELFARE appropriations have been the subject of some discussion and some of the state administrators have spoken of cuts being made in welfare allotments for aid to dependent children, the largest portion of the welfare budget. However, the legislature has not made any cuts in the welfare budget but nas only refused to approve Update farm records now T. R. TAYLOR, chairman of the Rappahannock County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation (ASC) Committee, suggests that it is a good time for farmers to bring up to date farm records which are maintained in the county ASCS office. Records are kept on farms participating in Government programs administered by ASCS. A farmer who was in any program in 1972 and who has bought, sold, leased, rented, or otherwise acquired or disposed of farmland should visit his county ASCS office to report the transactions. The ASC committee chairman commented that current farm legislation is expiring with 1973 crops and Congress is expected to take up proposed new farm legislation in the next few weeks. Whatever farm programs we have, farmers will want to be sure their farm records are accurate and complete when the programs go into effect. COUNTY ASCS offices are required to keep re SLOW MOVING EMBLEMS as required by law on farm machinery or other slow moving vehicles traveling on public roads, may be purchased for $3.65 complete from Rappahannock Farm Bureau Mrs. Rtdaty ¥•*», A*«t Woodville, Virginia M*M tl741J5 cords on acreage of all farms where owners or operators participate in any ASCS - administered program. The county ASC committee chairman said that if a farm is constituted differently now than it was when the farmer began program participation, and if he hasn’t yet reported the change, he should do so as soon as possible. Also, if a farm has changed owners or operators in that period, a report should be made to the county ASCS office. □ additional appropriations this session. The funds for aid to dependent chkldren in the 1972 budget provided a 100 per cent increase over the 1970 budget, and the 1970 budget provided for a 100 per cent increase over the-1968 budget. THE CONCERN of the legislature has been to see that the funds appropriated do not go to ineligible welfare recipients and it is obvious that increases'* in the welfare budget cannot continue at the same rate in the future as in the past. The legislature is expected to adjourn on Saturday and this is my final report on the 1973 General Assembly. □ «1 SMITHS’ BETTER MENS WEAR We re Changing Our Nome They changed George Washington’s Birthday, so we’re changing our name to Mr. Krmtrtlfs The Men’s Shop Front Royal, Va.

‘Measured miles' ^ «* ij TWO “MEASURED MILES" have been marked for the convenience of motorists in the Virginia Highway Department’s Culpeper District. Donald B. Hope, district engineer, said one has been marked on the westbound lane of U.S. Route 50 in Fairfax County, 6;6 miles west of the Fairfax city limits. The other is on the northbound lane of U.S. Route 29 in Albemarle County, 2.9 miles north of Charlottesville. They were established as part of an expanded program undertaken by the Highway Department to provide a convenient means by which motorists may check their speedometers and odometers for accuracy. The department said it was m&rking the miles in response to numerous requests. The measured sections are designated by signs and by four-inch-wide white stripes painted across the w'idth of the road. □ FEDERAL and STATE INCOME TAX SERVICE JOHN J.

KENYON, Game Warden FIGURES NOW in for the past hunting season, 197273, show that the deer and turkey kill was up statewide. The bear take was way down. c A total of nearly 49,000 deer taken statewide sets a new state record for whitetail. Southampton County alone reported over 2,700 * deer to lead all counties. Rockingham County was second in the state and led western counties with 1902 Virginia bowhunters checked in 673 or these whitetails, a state record in itself. a IN SPITE of complaints ,in some areas that turkey hunting wasn’t as good as 1971, and the fact that we had a wet spring, Virginia hunters bagged over 4,000 turkeys this past season. This was up from 3,663 the season before. These figures are for the fall season only. The bear harvest of 145 this past season was the lowest since 1966. During the years of 1967 through 1971 Virginia hunters were averaging about 325 bruins annually. The bear kill seems to fluctuate up and down with the amount of mast. Years of little mast have resulted in a low bear kill. Possibly because of the lack of mast bears restrict their movement and tend to hole up and are thus less available to hunters. ANOTHER state record for Virginia hunters was the 433 pheasants taken in 1972. Of these birds 171 were from Page County, 76 from Loudoun and 61 from Shenandoah. The Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries staff is seeking suggestions from crow hunters on their preferred crow hunting season to aid in advising the Commission which fourmonth period Virginians would like to hunt crows, reported Executive Director Chester F. Phelps. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service put the crow on the protected “song bird” list, following a new treaty agreement between the United States and Mexico negotiated last year. “THE FISH and Wildlife Service has now offered the states their choice of a four-month hunting season anytime outside the peak crow nesting season,” Phelps said. “The Commission’s dilemma will be to decide whether this short period should fall during regular hunting seasons or should fall out-* side these dates to give hunters some “offseason” sport,” he added. Although the common crow appears quite able to take care of itself in today’s world, there are members of the crow family which may -require some protection and this is cited as the reason for including the entire family on the list of protected birds. How-^ ever, once on the list the crow enjoys the same status as hawks, owls and cardinals, except as the federal government may make provision for them to be Sunted. . n Minor collision Two vehicles were involved in a minor collision on Fodder Stack Road Tuesday about noon which was investigated by Trooper G. F. Gregory. Carlton Atkins of Sperryville driving a 72 Chevrolet was cited for failing to yield the right of way after he backed into the hard surface road from a lane and was struck by Charles William Ricketts of Washington.

In this one beautiful volume, 614 of Mr. Rockwell’s best illustrations are reproduced, with text by Thomas S. Buechner: “Norman Rockwell’s subject is average America. He has painted it with such benevolent affection for so many years that a truly remarkable history of our century has been compiled. Through wars, depression, civil strife, and the exploration of space, he has drawn subjects from the everyday happenings of which most lives are made. Millions of people have been moved by his picture stories about the awkwardness of youth and the comforts of age, about pride in country, history, and heritage, about reverence, loyalty and compassion. The virtues that he admires are very popular, and because he illustrates them using familiar people in familiar settings with wonderful accuracy, he describes the American Dream.” □ SHOOTING MATCH Friday, February 23 and every Friday night until further notice SPERRYVILLE CARNIVAL GROUNDS beginning at 7:30 p.m. Benefit Sperryville Vol. Fire Department Prizes: Beef, Hams, Turkeys, Oysters 12-16-20 gauge guns Kathy Stewart and her fiance, Mark Powers.

New car licenses have a new look MOST Virginia motorists are now receiving renewal applications for 1973 passenger car licenses and will purchase their new plates between March land April 15. But this year there are some differences. <; For one thing, 1973 inaugurates the new multiyear licenses. Owners will keep this year’s metal plates for five years, and will revalidate them annually with month and year decals. The motoring pub lie will retain the same license numbers and the Commonwealth will save upwards of $2 million, according to Commissioner Vern L.Hill of the Division of Motor Vehicles. This year also marks the beginning of a staggered-month system of annual renewal. Registration applications, now being mailed to passenger car owners, have provision for the motorist to select a convenient month for ye CASH AND CARRY K.D.

Keller Manufacturing Company Route 3 Culpeper, Va. An Equal Opportunity Employer arly renewal of license plates in the future. “ALL CITIZENS renewing their registrations in the March-April period will receive plain license plates, without month and year decals,” Hill said. “These licenses will expire on March 31, 1974. However, during the 1973 license year, an extension notice will be mailed, so that appropriate month and year decals can be issued. To extend the license year to the month the individual has chosen, a prorated fee (equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the annual fee) will be charged for each month the plates are extended past March 31, 1974. “For example, if July is selected, the car owner will receive a notice in June, 1973, to extend his licenses from March 31, 1974, to July 31, 1974. On payment of the additional fee, appropriate decals will be mailed to the owner.” COMMISSIONER Hill emphasizes that only those motorists buying passenger car licenses during this March or April will have the selection option. Owners registering passenger vehicles in any other month than March or April in 1973, will receive license plates — and appropriate decals — valid for one year from the month of purchase. Hill adds, “Virginiadri- • vers will pay no more for their licenses this year, and after this year, there will be no further problem with long lines at Division offices. The multiyear licenses and the staggered system of annual renewal are new services designed to benefit both the citizen and the Commonwealth.” □ IN MEMORIAM In sad, but loving memory of Mrs. Betsy Matthews Lewis who departed this life February 19, 1960.

Student assistance extended * STUDENTS who get monthly social security payments may now get checks for a time after their 22nd birthday, according to Mrs. Hazel F. Crumpton, social security district manager in Winchester. “Under a change in the law, an undergraduate student can continue to get social security payments through the end of the semester or quarter in which he reaches age 22,” she added. If the student’s school does not use the semester or quarter system, payments can continue until he completes the course he’s taking or two months after he reaches 22, whichever comes first. “The change means students will no longer face the probleitKof having their benefits^top in the middle of a school term,” Mrs. Crumpton said. ABOUT 590,000 students are now getting monthly checks because a parent insured under social security retired, became disabled, or died. Checks for dependent children normally stop at age 18, but payments continue to 22 for young people who are in school cial security payments stopped when the student reached 22, so this change permits many students to receive some additional help from social security at a time when expenses are normally great.” Additional information may be obtained from the local social security office located at 20 So.

Letters to the editor From pace 2 would count it the eighth wonder of the world if anything specific is accomplished within two years, let alone two months. It is worth noting that for a considerable time complaints have been lodged against the company with little action by the company, by the SCC, or by the more-recently formed Environmental Protection Agency. Yet there is double-trouble here, in mounting hazard to the health of human, animal and plant life—a dangerous mixture of sulphur dioxide, which can reach the point of causing fatalities, and hydrogen sulfide, which gives us the rotten egg smell. And who makes the periodic atmospheric tests to see if this gaseous con tamination of our air is beyond legal limits? Why, the American Viscose plant—all by itself. I would hope that the time is long past for such continued theft of our fresh air. Perhaps we are all being gassed and poisoned into a lethargic state, a‘ kind of catatonic abulia, but I would like to believe victims of this plague still have enough good breath to holler loudly, albeit in last gasps, in an effort to save our atmosphere from all polluters. Edward A. Harris Huntly Rappahannock County Elementary School has just completed its annual magazine sales campaign and high sales personnel have been named. In the picture are Craig Smoot, Mrs. Arthlinda Quaintance, Belinda Burke, Miss Judy Atkins and William A. Carter.

Craig Smoot, in grade 5, was highest salesman in the school with sales totalling $167.16; Belinda Burke in Miss Atkins’ class sold $112.14 while William Carter in Miss Carolyn Smith’s sixth grade sold $106.

Last Friday, the SCA sponsored the annual Sweetheart Dance. It was well attended and everyone apparently thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Voting for the queen and her court unfortunately didn’t take place on Thursday for school yvas out because of the weather and again because of a scheduled teachers work day.
