Rappahannock News, March 22, 1973

Vepco hearings next week ACCORDING to some people who have been close to the subject since the beginning, next week’s power line hearing in Warrenton and Rappahannock County will be well-attended affairs, with numerous speakers. The hearings are being conducted by the State Corporation Commission on the application of Virginia Electric & Power Company for new powerline corridors throughout the area (details are given in the legal advertisement printed in this issue of the Virginian.) Vepco tried for over a year to get its plans approved by the Fauquier planning commission and Board of Supervisors and finally failed. Legal action was filed, and answered by the county, and Judge Ray tier Snead ruled that ‘environmental impact’ hearings under new state legislation had to be held before legal questions could be resolved. Hence, the two local hearings — with still another to follow April 9 in Richmond. ENVIRONMENTAL groups such as the RLEP — Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection — and individuals alike have assailed Vepco’s plans as both unnecessary and destructive of the landscape. Vepco has countered that opponents’ arguments for running the new powerlines in existing corridors are not technically feasible. Two sessions of the Warrenton hearing have been scheduled — at 2 and6 p.m. In Washington, in Rappahannock County, hearing sessions will begin at 9:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. Persons who want to speak, even briefly, must file their name beforehand with the county clerk in each county. The Corporation Commission asks that whenever feasible, speakers submit a written statement of their views. □ New management announced for ski area NEW _ MANAGEMENT arrangements for the Rappahannock Ski Area have been announced by James A. Moore, president of the Pennsylvania Ski Corporation which purchased the local ski operation last Spring. Moore was in Rappahannock last Friday to announce that: • William H. Stevenson, who has been serving as manager of the Camelback \ Ski Area at Tannersville, Pa., will now be corporate manager for both Camelback and Rappahannock. • James Trepp, who own a ski shop in Beacon, N.Y., and who acted as manager of Rappahannock last % winter, will remain to run the local retail and rental shop, and to be a consultant in the ski area’s operation. • Col. E.A. McNear and Stevenson have been added to the Rappahannock Ski Area’s board of directors. McNear is the only local director. STEVENSON, a 1957 gr aduate of Penn State, has been at Camelback since 1963. “He came right up the scale from mountain crew to manager,” said Moore. It is planned that Stevenson will spend approximately an equal amount of time at Camelback and Rappahannock. Speaking of Rappahannock’s last winter, Moore was candid. . “From a financial standpoint, it was disastrously bad. Any time you start something new it’s difficult, and we also had the worst weather — from a ski area standpoint — in the past ten years. It was the same in Pennsylvania.” Moore expressed the hope that “bad weather” won’t continue in the future, but in the meantime, “I’m confident we established ourselves in this region, that we proved that we could make snow and run a ski area.” AS FAR as the ski crowds this past winter, Moore said that by a rule-of(See page 14) James A. Moore, president of the Pennsylvania Ski Corporation, was in Rappahannock last week to announce new appointments. From left are Col. E. A. McNear, the only local representative on the board of directors; James Trepp, who acted as manager of the ski area last year and who will remain to run the retail and rental shop; and William H.

Yankee art dealer got carried away By JIM BIRCHFIELD THERE IS NO doubt about it—David Greer was car-, ried away. , , Whether it was the wild beauty of the Rappahannock country, the outgoing freedom of the people or just the emotion of the tributes to the “living spirit of Helen Fuller”— David Gr eer was swept along beyond his judgment. It was at an auction last September of the estate of Helen M. Fuller, a former editor of the New Republic who had become a resident of Rappahannock, that David Greer of the Greer Gallery in New York, bid on a painting by Diego Rivera, the Mexican artist, for $15,500. Greer also bought other paintings, but it was the Rivera picture of two women that was the talk of the auction, and Greer had been bidding against two other dealers? BUT BACK under the clear, cold north light of his New York gallery, David Greer took another look at his Rivera purchase, and came sadly to the conclusion that he had overpaid. It just wasn’t worth the $15,500. Greer acted in the quickest and simplest way he could. He stopped payment on the check he had given the executors of the Fuller estate, and then wrote a second check for $2,000 in payment for the other picture he had purchased. George H. Davis Jr., Rappahannock County Commonwealth’s attorney and one of the three executors of the Fuller estate, learned of the Greer decision when he got notice from the bank that Greer had welched on the deal. “YOU COULD sue,” Davis said, “but you would be tied up in the New York (See page 19)

SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Speak up! THE TIME HAS COME, not to talk of cabbages and kings, but to speak up, and loudly, ^at the forthcoming public hearing on the application of two electric power companies before the State Corporation Commission for construction of certain electric transmission lines and related facilities. The proposed lines would slash their way through Rappahannock County; as well as surrounding areas. To be permitted to speak at this hearing, which is scheduled for March 29 in the courthouse at Washington,, Va. at 9:30 a.m. and 2 p.m., individuals must- register their name with the Clerk of the County. Those desiring to appear are urged to contact E. M. Jones, Clerk of Rappahannock. These power lines, if constructed, will affect many aspects of Rappahannock forever, where land prices, tax base and historical factors are concerned, to name just a few. If the public, the residents and landowners of Rappahannock do not make an appearance at the hearing they will havejmly themselves to blame. PUBLIC HEARINGS are held for just what their title suggests—to hear from the public. Hearing from the public on the environmental impact aspects of utility construction plans. is something relatively new. It is up to all Virginians—and most specifically, citizens of Rappahannock County—to make sure this new procedure is the meaningful addition to our system of due process that its drafters intended. But one thing is for certain: If we don’t speak sup, the Corporation Commission won’t know what the public thinks about something which woiild have such a drastic impact on our total way of life. The Commissioners might even conclude that nobody cares. □ FMC efforts Editor: As a result of the hearing . conducted by the State Air Pollution Control Board in Front Royal on November 14,1972, it was determined, in accordance with Section 6 of the State Air Pollution Control Board Regulations, that the odor emitted by FMC-Front Royal is “objectionable.” Thus, ending the debate of the social acceptability of its olfactory impact. Under this ruling, FMCFront Royal was given 60 days to submit a plan for the control of the “objectionable” odor. As a result of this requirement, FMCFront Royal filed with the State Air Pollution Control Board on February 9,1973, a plan for compliance, which will: (1) Identify chemical substances contributing to the odor, other than hydrogen sulfide and carbon disulfide; (2) DeD... o termine the atmospheric reactions that these chemiclas undergo to produce “objectionable” ambient air odor; (3) Determine minimum emission levels required to prevent the 'odor; and (4) Determine impact of sulfur compound emissions on odor detection. FMC-Front Royal is proceeding in good faith as responsible citizens with this very comprehensive investigation in an effort to correct the odor problem. - Parallel to this work is a contract between the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and The Research Corporation of New England (TRC) which covers a group of unusual features of odor measurement. The purpose of this study is to improve the scientific methods for identifying and measuring odors from in(See page 10) Barns Last week’s barn pictured was that of Dr. Katherine Oettinger at her farm Canterbury on Route 627 near Washington, Va.

Letters Sure was some storm A Letter to the Home Folks: ■ j ■ Hi, folks we sure did have some kind of a rain here Saturday morning. And that wind, but first the rain — . When that torrent hit the south side of the house it knocked me clean out of bed. When I tried to see out the window I says, Great Day, they must switched the Hazel River bed and it’s pourin’ right over us! That water came plum horizontal, shot by a blast of wind the likes of which one never did see. The old house kinda shuddered like a wet dog then it started to do a little dipsidoodle jig, all the while the tin roof was banging and thunderin’ like a herd of buffalo was running up and down, from peak to gutter. Man, we were scairt. The lady drove to the basement for safety, the cat yowled the death howl and I says maybe this is it. In fact I began to remember an old spirtual they used to sing in Prince Edward Co. . . .One of dees days ’bout 12 o’clock, dees bones goin’ to rise, dis ol’ world going’ to reel and rock, dees bones goin’ to rise and shine. But while I was thinkin’ all this the cat yowled again, so I knew he wanted out. The door pushed at me and I pushed at it. I got it open about a foot and out flew the cat. Yes sir, the wind sucked that cat right off the porch and whipped him 50 feet up in our big pine tree. Figurin’ it must be cold I glanced out the window at the wachacall it, but the mercury had already been blowed out of the tube so there wasn’t apy reading. In the meantime, out of the corner of my eye there went my cordwood jumpin’ along on the top of a huge wave down 500 feet to the bottom of the hill. Then the rain quit for a piece, but not that wind. At this point the lady poked!: her head out of the- basement just as 1 said, Mighty Ceasar, look at that flock of buzzards cornin’ to get us. But she took a good look, and said, those ain’t buzzards — “That’s your wood pipe cornin’ back.” And sure enough, don’t you know that every one of those four foot lengths that had been carried down the hill ten minutes before, came flying back. And it wasn’t no time atall before that two cords of wood was back in the exact same place, piled as neat as a cushion full of pins —verticlef But the horses were callin’ for their sweet feed so wind or no wind I wanted to be kind. I hung on the burrs of the barb wire fence and inched along. The chores took a spell, so the lady got somewhat impatient and yelled, come on and have some coffee and cookies. Then a funny thing happened — that powerful wind took the lady’s words 1/4 mile to three neighbors. They recognized her voice. Each one of them took it for a special invitation and when I got back to the house there were 12 women and children in the kitchen. There’s always cookies in • i the cookie jar so my lady says just sit down while I boil the coffee. But wouldn’t you know just then at 10:15 the electric went off. However, we were always ready for an emergency. 1 filled the old iron kettle hanging on the fireplace crane, stirred up the fire a bit and allowed as how we had that electric licked with an ol’ timey coffee party. Don’t forget, all the while that wind did everything but shuck the bark off the trees. Just as I started to hang the kettle in the fireplace the vacuum and draft in that chimney was so strong it started to suck that kettle right up the flue. That problem was easily remedied, we just closed the damper and outwitted the wind. The party was very sociable but one of the visitors told a tale that some folks might think was exaggerated. She said she had ten hens sitting on the roost with the hen house door open. When that wind hit its peak it took all the feathers off one side, clean as a whistle. The chickens reacting to chill air, turned around, only to lose everything but their pin feathers on that side. This neighbor said they weren’t layin’ anyway, so she called her husband and said,“Robert you might just as well chop the heads off those hens — they’re all plucked anyway.” Some people can sure tell ’em but folks it was some kind of storm.

Citizen action urged on problems Editor: Two issues that should be of crucial concern to all residents of Rappahannock County may soon be coming to a head with re-, suits that can be detrimental or beneficial to our county and adjoining counties for many generations to come. Some of us may be more immediately affected than others by these results, but in the end environmental pollution, whether visual, or in our air or water, is not very selective and involves us all, and therefore it is to be hoped that all of ms will become involved In fighting it. To paraphrase Hemingway’s memorable line in “For Whom the Bell Tolls,” so very apt in our present hard-pressed position, “ask not for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.” You may not be presently in the path of a monstrous new powerlih^ program and you may not yet be suffering from the noxious stench of a viscose plant, but chances are your time will come unless you are willing, here and now, to help stop such despoliation of our scenic lands and of the very air we breathe. Why wait until it is too late? What confronts us might be called the Double V Menace—VEPCO with its projected 500,000 k.v. high power tension line slicing ,#cross some of the most •*_, ’ historic and picturesque lands in the entire state, and the Viscose plant of the FMC Corporation in adjoining Warren County, whose nauseous and healthendangering fumes have been permitted by Federal, state and local authorities to pollute the air in an ever-widening area for more than a quarter of a century. With respect to the Virginia Electric Power Company and its proposed uglification of a large part of beautiful Rappahannock County (and adjoining counties), it is of the utmost importance that residents turn out in large numbers to express their views at the public hearing to be held next Thursday, March 29, at the Rappahannock Courthouse before members of the State Corporation Commission. There will be two sessions, at 9:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. the same day, but it is vital to note that in order to speak, even briefly, you are asked to file your name beforehand with County Clerk Ned Jones, preferably several days beforehand so that the time schedule can be worked out. The board also has asked that whenever feasible, speakers submit a written statement of their views. I hope that no one will be frightened off by the requirement for advance “registration,” a formality that may give an undue aura of speechmaking to the session. Personally I feel it would have been far better to permit anyone to arise spontaneously and give his or her views off the cuff. But since advance notice is required, I would urge readers to give such notice to Mr. Jones and get up and saying something, however short, even if it is “I think the VEPCO powerline wo1 EARLY S CARPET SALES & SERVICE I LAIGf OtJUAT’OT Nationally known hang* IMPORTED ORIENTALS ALSO REMNANTS ALEXANDER SMITH RATCRAFT MOHAWK IARWICK MASLAND .

Main St., Cutpap*. Vo. uld be horrible,” or “T adore high power lines and think they improve the landscape.” There are, of course, many urgent reasons why it would be a colossal blunder to permit VEPCO to shove this destructive blemish across our countryside. One of the most compelling is contained in a rare book by H. C. Groome called ‘‘Fauquier during the Proprietorship,” which also Relates the early Piedmont area, including the headwaters of the Rappahannock River and its tributaries and the great spread of golden and green land east of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The explorer John Lederer in 1670, arriving at a promontory of the Appalachians with his party and looking eastward, glowingly described what they saw in terms still true today to a large extent. The crucial question arises now: why choose this particularly beautiful and historic section of Virginia to desecrate with a tangle of thick wires and high ugly towers? There are surely a number of alternatives, including existing utility corridors that unfortunately already are gouged through the land elsewhere. As to that other assault upon our sensibilities, the American Viscose plant’s persistent poisoning of our air in the name of jobs and the sweet smell of success, that was a remarkably technical and erudite defense of the stench in the News last week sent in by Mrs. Barbara Pullen Sowers. We are of course happy to get her views, but were somewhat sorry to see her use phrases like “uninformed emotionalism” with respect to those who merely hanker to breathe fresh air instead of putrid fumes. After all, we are human beings and not computer machines, so we do have feelings and emotions and even noses, and if we can’t have some strong feelings about air pollution what would she recommend we do get emotional about— the annual fiscal statement of the FMC Corporation? I would humbly submit that this highly successful firm has sufficient research and development funds to convert the Viscose plant in Front Royal into a non smelling operation. For more than a quarter of a century it has been smelling up the countryside far and wide, while flailing its critics with words like “emotionalism” (strangely, just like Mrs. Sowers, a plant official used the same word in an open letter to me about two years ago), with the constant refrain that critics are endangering the jobs of plant workers. Why so?, I don’t see the connection. The FMC has the funds to remedy the situation, and it needs the workers even more than the workers need it, for there are other plants and other opportunities. If there were no noxious odors the workers would be healthier, to be sure, and other manufacturing companies would be more apt to come into the area, thus offering still further economic benefits to Front Royal and the county. Finally, there is the pro nouncement of Mrs. Sowers that “only the nose knows.” She is precisely correct, and that’s the whole point. All of her technical data means nothing when that awful stench hits you when you try to shop in Front Royal or even, often enough 10 or 20 miles away at night when you open a bedroom window hoping for sweet night air. The nose knows: it knows a horrible smell when it smells it. And the stench goes on and on. Perhaps that’s what Mrs. Sowers meant by the “multiplying effect” in Front Royal (and far beyond) of the $20,000,000 FMC * payroll. Edward A.

Hearing asked on Front Royal ‘pollution’ RAPPAHANNOCK County Commonwealth’s Attorney, George H. Davis Jr., has requested the Virginia Air Pollution Control Board to hold a public hearing in the county to find means of stopping air pollution, which he says comes from a viscose plant in nearby Front Royal. In a letter to Edgar B. Boynton, the control board’s chairman, Davis stated that atmospheric emissions from the American Viscose plant of the FMC Corporation in Front Royal create objectionable odors over a wide area of Rappahannock County. And,' he charged, these odors are doing serious damage to the property and to the health of Rappahannock citizens, 4‘inviolation of the statutory laws against pollution.” DAVIS SAID it is difficult to see how the ‘State can expect its citizens to cooperate in anti-pollution measures when such obvious violations are permitted. He said that many Rappahannock citizens are demanding a hearing by the control board to determine a solution to the air pollution problem. “We do not feel that technological ignbrance on the part of the corporation is sufficient grounds for the continuance of the nuisance,” t)avis said. / "In i letter las't February to the control board’s Northern Virginia Regional Office, Eldon E. Campbell, viscose plant manager, said a New England research firm has been employed to help devise me thods for correcting air pollution from the plant. * He said that actual sources of odors must be determined before control measures can be applied. He said specific descriptions of the odors and additional control measures should be ready for presentation to the board by next August. IN HIS letter to Boynton, Davis said: “THE AMERICAN Viscose Plant of FMC Corporation located at Front Royal, Va., is approximately 18 miles west of the Town of Washington, Va. Washington is the county seat of Rappahannock County. ‘ ‘The atmospheric emis - sions create extreme objectionable odors over wide areas in Rappahannock County. The odors emitted by this viscose plant are doing serious damage to property and health of the citizens of this county in violation of the statutory laws against pollution. The odors are so objectionable that many citizens of this county are demanding a hearing by your board to determine a solution to the problem and immediate end GOSPEL PROGRAM The Gospel Harmonizers will present a gospel program Sunday, March 25 at 3 p.m. at First Baptist Church, Washington.

IF WE GET THROUGH the next few weeks without any measurable snow, it will be the first snowless winter in the history of the weather bureau. Many people are wondering why it hardly snowed at all. Here is one story of how it all came about: Just before Christmas last year, Charles Smoot, Jr., nicknamed “Rock,” eight years old, told his Daddy what he wanted for Christmas, or for that matter, he said, it could be a pre-Christmas present. He wanted a sled. He could hafdly wait to coast down one of those mountain slopes, just as soon as the snows came — as they always did. Charles Smoot, Sr., who manages Mountain Green on Harris Hollow Road, and who lives with his wife Mae and son on an adjoining farm, was put on the spot by Rock’s plea. He.=already had bought Rock another Christmas gift, ’way back in September. On Rock’s third request he looked his son solemnly in the eye. “Son,” he said, “it isn’t going to snow this winter. So you won’t need any sled.” Rock looked his father solemnly in the eye, “Daddy, it always snows in winter.” “Not this winter, it won’t,” his father insisted. In his bones he knew he had to make good on his prediction. And that’s how come it didn’t — well, nearly didn’t — snow in Rappahannock County all winter long.

Injure the wreck were Georgia Newman and Betty Hogan, both of Washington, Va. in FMC efforts (From page 2) dustrial sources. TRC was selected for this contract because of its unusually capable instrumental and odor laboratories. A special feature ofTRC’sodor research study is to identify, by chemical analysis, the principal constituents of certain nuisance ordors. TRC will also study the effects of storage time, moisture, high temperature, cooling, and dilution of the samples taken at the 4' . odor source. (Contract No. 68-02-0662, $94,000) Mr. Eldon Campbell’s testimony at the November 14 hearing was based on a continuing study funded entirely by FMC. FMC’s odor abatement and control plan will be reviewed at the April 2, 1973 meeting of the Virginia State Air Pollution Control Board in Richmond. The public is welcomed to attend this meeting. - % M : It is highly probable that the very substantial combined efforts of FMC, EPA, and TRC will result in sufficient knowledge to provide a means for FMC to control the odors from the Front Royal plant. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could provide the same type of dedicated, intelligent, co-operative effort and good sense, in solving our problems of solid -waste management. (Mrs.) Barbara P.

The NHS has been generating more enthusiasm with their crazy commercials over the intercom each morning. Monday, the Sophomores and Juniors met with Mr. Norton, Mr. Leonard, Mr. Linger, Mr. Futtrell and Mr.' Wingfield to learn of the possible plans for RCHS students to be able to participate in courses at Piedmont Vocational School in Culpeper County next year. One course would take a half day for three credits and the students would return to Rappahannock for a half day of required classes. There are many areas of study offered at Piedmont and with sufficient interest, a program may be set up. Another meet/j* ?/.:?■ b'.v ft ing is scheduled Thursday to determine the amount of enthusiasm in such a program as this. The Senior play has been cast and practice is beginning on the production “Rest Assured.” Other Seniors are busy getting ideas for scenery and securing prop&. We have yet to uncover the plot of the play but I think we can ‘rest assured’ it will be a great one (oh). Last Saturday was the final basketball game, we think, of the season. Rappahannock Jaycees held their winning title and defeated Culpeper Jaycees 117 -73. The preliminary game between the RCHS Senior the Juniors can hold their own for they were victors over the upper classmen with a 68-49 score. Tuesday, several members of the Senior class took a trip to Lord Fairfax Community College at Middletown accompanied by Mr. Futrell, guidance counselor. They toured the college, a sort of orientation, for two students have been accepted at the school and another has applied.

Support sought for Little Leaguers By T. GRANVILLE EASTHAM THE Rappahannock Recreation Association is gearing up for another bangup baseball season for boys in the midget, pee-wee and pony teams. As in the past, these teams will play in the Fauquier League this season. This League is well or-, ganized and will offer boys an opportunity to compete in a league that also strives to develop the other attributes that are necessary to a well-rounded baseball player. As does the County Recreation Association, this League stresses sportsmanship, physical fitness, - gentlemanly conduct and the strict adherence to all rules and regulations. IN PAST seasons a few civic minded persons as Newbill Miller of Washington, Julian Brown ofSperryvUle, and others have given of their time and substance to make it possible for boys to compete on the baseball diamond under good conditions. They have literally had a ball game or practice six evenings a week. B. Settle of Amissville and Walter Masterson of Woodville are going to be very active in the program this year. We are all aware of the talents of Mr. Settle as a baseball manager; and Walter Masterson, a former star pitcher for the Washington Senators, will work with the managers and coaches. Mr. Masterson is a highly qualified baseball strategist. The County is most fortunate to have men of this stature to help nurture your sons during this critical stage of their life. LITTLE League Baseball, Inc. has found that boyS who participate in this program were much better prepared for the challenges of lator life than the children who were not exposed tq such a program. My own* research and experience with 1,600 boys in the Little League program proved to me that the boy who spends his early youth -an an athletic court is not likely to spend time in any other court. Julian Brown will conduct a baseball clinic every Saturday at a school diamond where any boy nine years old or more may come and learn the rudiments of baseball, and will have the opportunity to play on pick-up teams. This clinic is a most important part of this program in that every eligible boy will be able to play ball under qualified supervision. IN ORDER for this League to accomplish the above goals, they will need help from all the citizens of this County. Adults are needed to transport children to and from the practice sessions and games, to attend games and support the League in many areas. Is your winter mild, with lots of MUD ?

New management announced for ski area \r * van a/ thumb scale used in the industry, the turnout wasn’t too good. “On no weekend was there more than a three-minute wait for a lift line; we figure that a ten minute wait is a good turnout.” Jim Moore talked about some of the special problems with operating a ski area in what he called the “banana belt” — which to skiers, anything south of New England. “It takes good planning, mostly,” he said. “For instance, when the weather was right, instead of making snow to put a one-foot cover all over the mountain, we concentrate on putting three feet of snow on one trail, so that later it will be able to stand up under a thaw. Using similar techniques, we were able to keep Camelback open this past winter when all competing ski areas were closed.” MOORE SAID there are no current plans to keep the Rappahannock Ski area open during the summer.

TRUCK YOUR CATTLE TO MARSHALL. . FIND OUT FOR YOURSELF GET MARKET VALUE The warm months this year will be utilized to “spruce up” the area, open up another night sking trail, and make other refinements. A total of 370 acres is owned on Jenkins Mountain, going all the way to the top of the ridge. At present, the highest ski run has a “vertical drop” (to use the trade’s jargon) of 650 feet. Eventually, the drop will be 1,100 feet, or thereabouts. By comparison, Camelback has a “full vertical drop” of only 750 feet, and competing Round Top has only 500 feet. Bryce has 450, Massanutten 960 (with a full potential of about 1,800 feet). Moore feels the statistic that is most directly in his ski area’s favor, however, is its proximity to Washington, D.C., and the number of skiiers living in the metropolitan area. But Jim Moore could only grin and shake his neaa ai the way the weather had treated all skiing operations this past winter. NORMALLY, this region can look for 18-25 inches of snow; this year, there was less than one inch of natural snow — the first year in the history of the Weather Bureau that this part of the country has escaped a winter without a significant snowiau. . “But we were open frofii January 9 to March 11,” Moore boasts. “Only Bryce in this area matched this record.” Other personnel in charge of operations at the Rappahannock Ski Area include Harvey Johnson, sales manager; and William Stout, former mountain manager at Camelback, who is moving here fulltime. E Deer is struck Recent traffic incidents which have occurred in Rappahannock include a motorist striking a deer. Mrs. Elaine Wiley ofSperryville struck the animal on Route 522 south of Woodville on March 10. Damage to her 68 Dodge sedan was estimated at $100 by investigating officer R. A. Baines. On the same dav a hitand-run collision took place near Flint Hill on Route 522. Mrs. Garland F. Sealock operating a 72 Pontiac, was struck by an unidentified vehicle bearing Pennsylvania tags.

seminars IN CELEBRATION of the advent of the spring season, The Country Store of Washington, Va. is sponsoring a demonstration of the ancient and beautiful folk art of Ukranian Easter Egg Design. These workshops will initiate a spring craft festival on Saturdays during April and May. Under the direction of Linda Gruber, the Easter Egg Design demonstrations will be held free ‘ of charge on three successive Saturdays, April 7,14, and 21. They will begin at 10 a.m. and last about an hour and, will be repeated at noon, 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. Other craft seminars planned during May include “The Secrets of Wood” on May 5, “The Versatile Herb” on May 12, “Collecting Americana” on May 19 and “The Doll” on a date to be announced. EASTER EGGS, which symbolize the rebirth of Spring have been intricately and lovingly decorated for centuries by the Ukranians. It has been a religious ritual in most Ukranian families. The designs on the eggs are made with a special tool called a kistka which is heated over a candle and filled with beeswax shavings. Mrs. Linda Gruber, who will demonstrate the craft, learned it many years ago from Ukranian friends. Mrs. Gruber’s husband, Gary, is a minister and cinen last fall has been conducting services at the Washington (Va.) Baptist Church. SENINARS planned for May focus on a variety of interesting subjects. Techniques of furnitute refinishing will be conducted by Peter Kramer of Rappahannock County. Mr. Kramer, a well-known prpfessional cabinet maker and restorer of antique furniture has a unique approach to wood. He offers the beginner and the advanced student the secrets of a craftsman. Mrs. Florence B. Williamson, of Oak Forest, our ■? local and an authority on herb culture, will conduct a class on how to plant and care for your own herb garden on May 12.

It would probably cost more than you could get if you won the case,’^Davis said. "So, instead of taking legal action against Greer, Davis retrieved the painting. » “We were going to New England to see our daughter,” Davis said, “so we dropped by New York and picked up the painting. I kept it up at the house for a time, but never took it out of its crate. “It was a colorful thing, but I wouldn’t want it hanging in my house. I think it probably is growing in value all the time. We have had an offer of $11,000, but don’t know what we will do. . “RIVERA, you know, was an avowed Communist, and there were a lot of people who didn’t want his work. Communist used to be a johnny house word, you know, but since President Nixon has opened up China and Russia, it has been Drought into the parlor.” Davis explained that the money from the Fuller sale is to go into a trust fund to be used for the benefit of young users of the Rappahannock Library. He said the executors of the Fuller estate may do what they wish with the painting. “It could be hung in the library,” he said, “but the library doesn’t want it because of the security problem.” DAVIS SAID the painting now is in a Washington, D.C. gallery and will probably remain there until a final decision is made for its future. It is likely that it will be sold. Miss Fuller had lived in Washington, Va., since the DISCONTINUED!

Greer was so impressed by the sale and the accompanying tributes to Miss Fuller that he felt moved to speak publicly. HE SPOKE about his first trip to Virginia’s Wash ington and added that it had given him renewed faith in the strength of grass roots America. Whether or not he had accomplished his mission, he said, was unimportant— he had learned a lot. Apparently he decided later that the cost of his lesson was too high. □ Conducting the auction of Helen Fuller’s estate, last September in Rappahannock County, was Helen Gahagen Douglas, the former Congresswoman from California and wife of famous motion picture star Melvin Douglas.
