Rappahannock News, March 1, 1973

Saturday is racing day Exciting field for next point-to-point meet By JUNE RUHSAM RAPPAHANNOCK Hunt will have its point-to-point this Saturday at Thornton Hill Farm, Sperryville, beginning with the hunter pace event at 11:30 and ending with the only hound race to be seen at any race meeting. In addition to these real country events there will be six races over either timber, hurdle or turf courses with some of the best steeplechasers in the country ridden by nationallyknown jockeys competing with top local horses and riders. Hunts represented in the pair race are Casanova, Potomac, Marlborough, Bull Run and Rappahannock, and a record number of hounds, 69, will compete for the Stuart Wells Jr. Memorial Bowl. FIRST OF the regular races is the Double Gate, 3/4-mile on the flat for ladies and gentlemen riding qualified hunters. Among the local entries are . J. Arthur Reynolds’ Gun Gold, Wilbur Shumate’s Mr. M. and Jeannie Dryer’s Favor Cross, who will be up against the likes of Alfred Smith’s Jette-aterre and Lite Hill. Getting special permission to ride is 13-year-old Anthony Price, Loudoun Hunt, on Irish Model. Next is the ladies’ race with last week’s winner, Ready Snodgrass, on another of Randolph Rouse’s good horses, Buen Paisano. Also competing in the twomile timber race are Mrs. Archibald Kingsley on Golden Power, Bonnie Beach on Beau Gret, Pam Ramey on Balfour. Mrs. George Strawbridge will be riding either her Sow-em, who was second in this race last year, or Lost Lamb. PROMISING to be one of the best events of the day, the open hurdle race has 16 entries with the local favorite being Witold Kuncewicz’ Muzzle Puzzle. However, other top local contenders who will give plenty of competition are Ernie Oare’s Zoomer, who won last week at Casanova, and Patrick Power’s Rough Speaker, who was second. George Strawbridge’s entry of Bahalana and Stretch II are certainly not to be overlooked. " In the fifth, the open timber race, most of the entries are from distant hunts with Alfred H. Smith’s Hill’s Pride, and George Sloan’s Bongocereo being the top contenders. Arthur Arundel’s Our Jeep, third in the ladies’ race last week, could make a good showing, however. THE DURANT Hill owner-rider hurdle race has two well-known MFH’s competing, Dr. Joe Rogers on Marine Band and Randolph Rouse on Buen Paisano. Other entries include Harry Wight on Crafty Craig, George Strawbridge with an entry of three and Ernest Oare’s Zoomer. Seventh on the card is the Ben-Venue, owner-rider over timber, with a big entry including Randolph Rouse on Eagle’s Top, Dr. Joe Rogers with his good Black Agnes, Harry Wight, last year’s winner, on Hard Apple and Roy Graham aboard Lord Patrick. Two strong contenders will be Ernie Oare’s Allen B.J., second last week, and Gil Flautt’s China Bowl. Rappahannock’s own Wade Massie will ride his Mulkey Mountain. FINAL TIMBER race of the afternoon will see Paddy Neison’s Doober’s Dare and Gil Flautt’s Top Raider offering probably the stiff - est competition to the field of 10. Anything can happen in a steeplechase, so one of the others, including George Strawbridge’s Lost Lamb or Wade Massie’s Mulkey Mountain may come out on top. Ending the day of sport will be the hound race. Entries are not from formal packs but are night hunting hounds owned by local hunters or members of the Northern Virginia Foxhunters Association. A three-mile drag will be laid, which the 69 hounds entered by 20 contestants will follow. Jack Bruce and J. M. Gibbs each have two legs on the trophy and will be trying to retire it. Few of the hounds have ever followed a drag, so if a live scent is strong nearby they may disappear over the mountain after it— which happened last year! Randolph Rouse is entered in the Ben Venue iiuthe Rappahannock Hunt Point-toPoint races scheduled for Saturday. He will compete for points in this race which go toward the Seven Corners Shopping Center trophy given at the close of the season. Rouse won the Casanova Cup last Saturday building his points toward the trophy. Accidents reported Two vehicles collided on Route 662 near Huntly last Thursday about noon and two people sustained light injuries. Peter Lynch Foster driving a ’68 Volkswagen and a 1970 Ford truck owned by Southern States Cooperative and driven by Edgar Allen Poe, all of Front Royal were involved. They met on a sharp curve and struck head-on. Elizabeth Kerfoot of Front Royal, a passenger in the Foster car, received a back injury and Foster sustained a shoulder sepa ration. Both were taken to Warren Memorial Hospital by Front Royal Rescue "Squad where they were treated and released, according to Trooper W. A. Buntin. Damage to the vehicles was estimated at $500 to the VW and $250 to the truck. A rear end collision also occurred in the Huntly area Saturday. On Route 522 a mile south of Huntly at 9:15 a.m. William Lee Nokes of Boston driving a ’64 Ford was struck from behind by a ’67 Chevrolet operated by Judy Stickley Brown of Culpeper. Trooper Buntin said Nokes slowed to stop behind a third car when he was hit by the Brown vehicle. Nokes sustained no damage and the damage to the other car was set at $300. There were no injuries. On Route 211 in Sperryville Sunday James McFarland of Washington, Va., operating a Ford sedan lost control of the vehicle and ran into the river causing minor damage. He was cited for improper use of dealer’s tags by Trooper R.A. Baines. □

SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Vital hearing COMING UP THE END of the month is another round of hearings on a subject which has worried Rappahannock County and its neighbors for years — the prospect of hideous new powerline corridors slashing across our lovely landscape. The exact times and places for the hearings, and the points to be stressed at these “environmental impact” interrogations, will be printed over the next several weeks in a legal advertisement in this newspaper; separate news articles relating to any additional developments will also be carried. The point of these reminders is to urge the largest possible turnout of interested citizens at the local hearings. After all, hearings are held, by law, to give decision-makers — in this case, the State Corporation Commission — a sounding of citizen feeling. The process is often distorted in practice, but it’s more difficult to distort when there is a large and enthusiastic turnout for scheduled hearings. What better way to let the Commission members know that Rappahannock’s citizens are deeply^ concerned? ALONG WITH QUITE a few of our neighbors, this newspaper has some definite feelings of its own about the powerline plans. We happen to agree with those who feel that there are less destructive alternatives available to the power companies. But we’re not urging that only those citizens who agree with us turn out for the hearings — everybody who cares about Rappahannock, about the entire area, about Virginia, about our scenic heritage, about economic realities versus esthetic dangers — about all aspects of the powerline question — should plan now to attend the local hearings, either March 28 at the Court House in Warrenton, or March 29 at the Court House in Washington. YOUR presence will be of the utmost importance. □ Trail Riders A SPECIAL MEETING of the Trail Riders of Rappahannock has been scheduled for 6:30 Sunday evening, March 4, at the fire hall in Flint Hill. The public is invited and all club members are urged to attend. The focus for the meeting will be the Rlue Ridge Competitive Trail Ride, sponsored by the North American Trail Riding Conference, and slated for the Memorial Day weekend. The upcoming 30-mile ride marks the first time that a nationally sanctioned ride has ever been held on the East Coast and a California judge had to be “imported” just for the event, which will be held at Huntly. Two films on competitive trail riding will be shown Sunday night for the purpose of acquainting everyone with the spprt in which the “prime requisite is a well-conditioned, calm horse.” ANOTHER SPECIAL offering of SundayShight’s meeting should be a talk by Dr. Matt Graves on Equine Infectious Anemia. EIA could develop into a very horrifying epidemic within the state of Virginia but it has less of a chance if horse owners are acquainted with symptoms, available tests, and prophylactic measures. Plan an early dinner Sunday night. The trail ends at the fire hall in Flint Hill. D Barns Two people correctly identified the barn pictured last week as that at Monteplier, property of Mr. and Mrs. J.W. Fletcher in the F.T. Valley on Route 231. Miss Betty Lou Atkins of Woodville will receive a year’s subscription to the Rappahannock News free. Clifton Clark also correctly identified the barn. Here is another. Letters to the Editor More on county ‘justice* EDITOR: I was very glad to see someone speak out about the quality of justice in Rappahannock County. Unfortunately Rappahannock citizens have had to suffer for many years as a result of the courts and legal services available in the county. Because Raphannock is a rural county it suffers from a lack of competition for the positions of judge, commonwealth’s attorney and defense attorney. Therefore, the holders of these positions seem to feel that they, can determine the facts of plaintiffs and defendants to suit their own joint or separate desires and pocketbooks and ambitions without regard for what is right. Because there are so few attorneys available, one feels that county residents deserve sympathy for this unfortunate situation. There is no way one can sympathize with Rappahannock citizens over the quality of county law enforcement available. That can only be blamed on the voters who were so taken in by a back-slapping politician whose main interest was in unseating his opponent rather than serving the county. The examples of the travesties of justice which occur in Rappahannock and the poor county law enforcement are too numerous to detail. Hopefully, more competent practicing attorneys will be attracted to the county by its many positive points and will provide competition for those available now, and perhaps by next election Rappahannock voters will be ready to correct their past mistakes. Think what injustice could be done if I signed my i name. NAME WITHELD BY REQUEST More about air odors Editor: I would like to comment on last week’s letter to the Editor by Mr. Edward A. Harris concerning FMC’s odor problem. First of all, I agree there is an odor, which should be corrected—as much as is feasibly possible. But going as far as hinting that the odor can be detected as far as 70 miles, is a bit stretching it. Iiive in Royal Village Subdivision, which is behind FMC’s parking lot, and I don’t find it all that bad. Secondly, referring to “past experience” in Mr. Harris’ .letter of FMC’s efforts in correcting the problem, I know for a fact that several years ago FMC spent a lot of money building a higher smoke stack, which has helped a great deal — and that was before all the radicals started putting pressure on FMC. I don’t work at FMC (and neither does Mr. Harris). but I, as well as thousands of others, can imagine what Front Royal would be like without FMC. I suggest that Mr. Harris take a look at other odor causing places. I find it most disturbing to ride through the country and breathe the air near a barn or dump. To me, that is also adding to air pollution. I don’t see where the farmer is correcting his share in the problem. Mr. Harris has made himself an authority on FMC during the past months — even though he doesn’t live that close — and I suggest he stick to the odor in his own county first. Mrs. George B. Ruffner

E L I T T L E F 0 X Gibb says he won’t seek re-election Duncan Gibb DEL. DUNCAN GIBB of Front Royal has announced that he will not seek re-election in the House of Delegates elections scheduled for this fall. In a statement, Gibb said legislative pressures on his private law practice have become too great to ignore. His statement follows: “IT IS WITH MUCH REGRET and only after prayerful consideration that I have decided not to be a candidate this fall as a member of the House of Delegates from the 17th Legislative District. “It has been a distinct privilege to have served for four years in the Virginia General Assembly, and this experience has been most interesting and rewarding. “I deeply appreciate the tremendous help and cooperation given to me by the fine people of this district. Being elected to the Virginia General Assembly is the highest honor that has ever been bestowed upon me, and the confidence and support of the people in electing me to this office has been most gratifying and something I will always cherish. “IT IS NECESSARY that I have adequate time to carry out an active law practice and this has become impossible due to the increasing duties and responsibilities required in representing the more than 93,000 persons in this district. “For this reason, and in fairness to everyone concerned, I am forced to make this decision. I intend to devote my legislative duties whatever time is necessary during the remainder of my term of office which ends in January. I will continue my interest in the affairs of this district and of our beloved Commonwealth and will be ready and available to help in Whatever way I can. “AGAIN, MY HEARTFELT thanks to the fine people of Clarke, Fauquier, Frederick, Warren and Winchester, and also to those from Rappahannock County, which was in my district for two years. “My thoughts will continue with all of you and my door will always be open to you.” ’ □ Freed grain program revisions explained INCREASED feed grain use during 1972 was cited by T. R. Taylor, Chairman of the Rappahannock County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation (ASC) Committee as one of the keys for the recent alteration of the 1973 feed grain program. U. S. Department of Agriculture figures now show that domestic use of feed grains for 1972 turned out to be higher than was anticipated when the 1973 feed grain program was announced early last December. Increasing livestock numbers plus cold weather and subsequent increased feed utilization have been the main factors in the higher feed grain disappearance. Export demand for feed grains is also expected to be strong in 1973 as bad weather continues in several major feed grain producing areas of the world. THE FOLLOWING changes have been made in feed grain program setaside requirements: • Under the basic plan, required set - aside has been changed from 30 to 25 percent of a producer’s feed grain base. And for participants not wanting to set aside this amount of cropland — the required set-aside has been changed from 15 to 0 percent, provided they limit their feed grain acreage. • If the participant sets aside an- acreage equal to 25 percent of his base his payment rate will be 32 cents per bushel for corn, 30 cents per bushel for grain sorghum and 26 cents per bushel for barley. These rates are paid on the < established farm yield times one-half the feed grain base. • Producers who elect not to set aside any acreage and do not increase their feed grain acreage above that planted for harvest in 1972 will be eligible for a lower payment rate of 15 cents per bushel for corn, 14 cents per bushel for grain sorghum and 12 cents per bushel on barley. These rates are paid on the established farm yield times one-half the feed grain base. • Producers may elect to graze, hay, or make silage from conserving crops grown on feed grain and wheat set-aside acreages at any time, including the five principal months of the normal growing season, and receive a reduced payment. They must notify the county ASCS office prior to using the set-aside acres. IT IS expected that these changes will assure that feed grain demand will be met for 1973/74. Also, the decision to permit haying or grazing of conserving crops on setaside should help alleviate the livestock feed situa tion, providing grazing or forage for the increased livestock numbers needed to meet consumer demand for more meat products. □ RAPPAHANNOCK HUNT POINT-TO-POINT RACES THIS SATURDAY MARCH 3 11:30 P.M.

Almanac forecasts bad weather for 1973 By PAUL SAMPSON National Geographic News Service ABE Weatherwise, the mythical forecaster for The Old Farmer’s Almanac, fears the worst for 1973. The sage predicts more than 200 inches of snow for the New England mountain areas by the end of winter. He also calls for spring floods in the Mississippi River valleys, the hottest summer in years east of the Rockies, and the beginnings of a severe drought in the fall. Abe’s predictions carry on a centuries-old tradition of almanacs. In the 16th century, many tracts forecast the weather a year in advance by drawing upon the latest intelligence from stargazers. Almanacs flourished as printing spread. Editors , found that sales soared when they spiced up their calendars and tables with predictions. They not only predicted the daily weather but such catastrophes as fires, famine, plague, and “sodaine tumultes-” THE STAINS foretold a catastrophic flood for February 1524, and scores of almanacs warned of a universal deluge. Thousands of Europeans fled their homes and took refuge on hilltops for the entire month. Rainfall was normal, but the astrologers were not chastened. Almanac editors faced occupational hazards. They could be burned at the stake as sorcerers if they were right too often, or lose their professional reputation if they were frequently wrong. So they cloaked their calamitous portents in ambiguous language. A 1580 almanac predicted: “The sommer andAutumne shall sometyme encline unto driness, sometyme unto moysture: so the winter shall be partlye rough and partlye milde.” Or, a nice day if it doesn’t rain. Francois Rabelais, the French satirist, mocked such forecasts by writing: “This year tho blind will see only a very little; the deaf will not hear very well; the dumb will not have much to say; the rich will fare rather better than the poor.” SOMETIMES, however, a creative almanac editor stumbled onto a correct prediction. In 1650, William Lilly drew pictures of a crowded cemetery and a great city on fire to decorate his almanac. Sixteen years later, loyal readers declared Lilly had foreseen the great plague and fire of London. John Partridge, an English shoemaker who audaciously styled himself Physician to the King, filled his almanac with portentous prophecies. Annoyed by Partridge’s pretensions, the acidulous Jonathan Swift predicted that on March 29, 1708, the shoemaker — astrologer would die of a ‘‘raging fever.” The frightened Partridge took to his bed two days before that date. Eventually he got up and announced that he was alive, only to find that he had become a laughing stock. RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY, VA.

ROBERT L. BROWN, Treasurer of Rappahannock County PATRICK Murphy’s Weather Almanac for 1838 said flatly that January 20 would be the coldest day ol the winter. It turned out to be the coldest day England had suffered in generations, and the 1837-38 season was long Known as Murphy’s Winter. Abe Weatherwise predicted rain, snow, and hail for July 13, 1816, and it did rain, snow, and hail — in that order. Actually Abe couldn’t claim all the credit — a prank-playing typesetter had inserted the forecast as a joke. C ‘Quashed’ on the way to a win in the fourth race, The Melrose Castle, at the Casanova Races last Saturday in Casanova. Quashed is owned by Randy Rouse and was ridden by Ready Snodgrass. License regulations Commissioner Vern L. Hill of the Division of Motor Vehicles, warns Virginia motorists who moved their residence lastyear and failed to notify the Division, that they must inform DMV of their new address promptly, or expect to experience delays in buying 1973 license plates. “We have had thousands of the recently mailed renewal applications returned to us by the Post Office,” says Hill, “because the car owner no longer resides at the indicated address.” To avoid last-minute delays or long waits at Division offices, vehicle own ers should notify a local DMV license agent, branch office, or the Central Office in Richmond immediately. Change of address notification should include all 1972 license numbers, as well as both old and new addresses, including zip codes. “Owners should also make certain they' check the proper box on the renewal application for insurance certification,” cautions Hill. “Many citizens fail to indicate insurance coverage and their applications have to be returned—thereby causing*delays and expense to both the motorist and to the Division. An extra minute or two to make sure the application is complete and properly signed, will save time and trouble.” Any mailing to the Central Office in Richmond should be addressed to Division of Motor Vehicles, P.O. Box 27412, Richmond, Virginia, 23269. □

Frida v Traffic cases up ARRESTS by the State Police clearing the courts during 1972 totalled 248*364, a substantial increase over the 230,793 or 1971, says Colonel H. W. Burgess, Superintendent of the Department. He said that 96.6 percent or 239,908 involved the highway and that 95.1 percent, or 236,201 were for direct traffic offenses. Overall conviction percentage was 92,7. Colonel Burgess gave as an example of an offense involving the highway, but not a direct traffic offense, intoxicated on or adjacent to a public highway. There were 2,809 arrests for this offense and he credited many of these with preventing pedestrian casualties. SPEEDING arrests led with 87,926 and reckless driving was next with 17,029. There were 16,664 for operators’ and chauffeurs’ license violations and 13,619 for improper equipment. Those for operating while intoxicated ran to 3,884. Man hours spent in connection with civil disorder fell from 27,357 in 1971 to 7,197. Fines, court costs, overweight assessments and recovered property in State Police cases returned the equivalent of $12,441,247 to the taxpayers. Average uniformed strength for the year was 1,026. □ H.L.BORDEN LUMBER CO. Lumber • Millwork • Building Supplies for QUALITY SERVICE phono 635-6123 Front Royal Rt. $22 By-Pass

Buring law effective CLIFTON W. JENKINS, Chief Forest Warden for Rappahannock County, has announced that the 4 o'clock burning law will become effective Thursday March 1, and will be in effect until May 15. This law states that open air fires are unlawful within 300 feet of woodland, or inflammable material leading to woodland, except between 4 o'clock in the afternoon and midnight. “This law is a good forest fire prevention measure because it prohibits burning in dangerous areas during the time of day when a fire burns most rapidly. Since the spring months are ^generally hazardous, the law is seasonal, applying only during the months forest fire danger is critical,” said Jenkins. Forestry personnel ask the cooperation of the public when burning in the open air. By burning during' the legal hours, the danger of a fire escaping is not as great as earlier in the day. Even when burning after 4 o'clock, the fire must be attended and completely extinguished before the person leaves. Burn on an afternoon when the wind is calm and the air is moist.
