Powerlines opposed Two days of testimony heard against Vepco By JIM BIRCHFIELD THERE IS NO doubt about what most people in the Piedmont Virginia area think about the Virginia Electric and Power Company’s plans to build a network of high tension power lines through the area. Their thoughts came out during two days of hearings on the Vepco proposals last week at Warrenton and Washington, Va. Overwhelmingly, the people opposed the company plans, and testimony pictured Vepco as a heartless, high-handed tion. Among witnesses who crowded into the Circuit Court rooms at Warrenton and Washington last Wednesday and Thursday, only one expressed an implied approval of Vepco’s plans. William Lineweaver, a Warrenton merchant, was the first to testify in Warrenton, and he reminded Commissioners Preston C. Shannon and Thomas P. Harwood Jr., that the commission had the responsibility to see that Northern Virginia would receive an adequate power supply. “I am concerned,” Lineweaver said, “that Warrenton and Fauquier County be assured of a future supply of electric power.” But Lineweaver was fol(Turn to page 7) Clean-up slated DISTRICT captains for the spring county clean-up scheduled for 9 a.m. Saturday, April 14 in Rappahannock have been announced by campaign chairman Kermit Weakley.

Mrs. Fiddler was in the basement kitchen preparing dinner and Earl, who usually sits in the living room watching television on Sundays, had gone to the store. The driver of the auto, Cover Floyd Baker, was not injured but was cited for six violations. Vienna man killed in accident RAPPAHANNOCK noted its second traffic fatality of the year Sunday when a Vienna man, formerly of this county, succumbed of injuries in a collision on Route 522 north of Huntly, at 9:45 a.m. Frank Lewis Smith, 42, of Vienna, was travelling north in a 1971 Oldsmobile station wagon. His vehicle was struck in the left side by a *63 Pontiac sedan, flipped over a stone retaining wal 1 and came to rest on its top in an abandoned roadway below. Smith was pronounced dead on arrival at Warren Memorial Hospital, Front Royal where he was taken by Chester Gap Rescue Squad. Cause of death was a severe con* cussion at the base of the skull. Driver of the Pontiac was Cover Floyd Baker of Front Royal, who apparently crossed into the left lane as he descended the mountain highway and struck the auto, according to Trooper W.A. Buntin. Baker continued off the left shoulder of the highway and ran into the living room of a residence occup ied by Mrs. Laura Fiddler ' and owned by Edward Fox. Mrs. Fiddler was in the basement Kitchen of her home preparing Sunday dinner when the catastrophe occurred and was not injured. Her son, Earl Williams and Francis Andrews who also lives there, were away from the house at the time. BAKER WAS charged with manslaughter, driving under the influence, and 'four other less severe counts. He sustained only a few scratches in the two impacts. Two vehicles were involved in a collision Saturday afternoon on “Route 642 south of Amissville. Buford Edwards of Amissville operating a ’65 Chevrolet made a left turn at a hill - crest into a residence driveway in front of a ’51 pickup. Driver of the truck was Stephan Louis Spencer of Rixeyville. No injuries resulted and Edwards was cited for failing to yield the right of way. Damage to the truck was set at $200 and estimated at $500 to Edwards car.

LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 A Clear Voice The late Judge J. R. H. Alexander, who for many years presided over the Rappahannock County Circuit Court, used to tell about the wild quality of Rappahannock and of the independence of her people. This quality in the County and the people of Rappahannock came out last week during the day-long hearings on the proposed Vepco power line that would cut a swath through some of the most scenic areas of Rappahannock. Newbill Miller, chairman of the County Board of Supervisors, in a sense spoke for Rappahannock’s people when he testified in opposition to the Vepco line. “You can be assured,w he told two members of the State Corporation Commission, “that our Board, in voting unanimously in opposition to the power line, is representative of our people.’’ Beauty, wildness and freedom are things much to be nurtured in this age of “progress.’’ And it is worth the effort of all Rappahannock people to preserve this wild and beautiful quality which impresses even those who are but casual visitors. Rappahannock has spoken with a clear voice, and it is hoped that the Commission, in its final hearings later this month, will listen. □ Bloodmobile plans visit The Rfcd Cross Bloodmobile Unit will be in Rappahannotfk County on Wednesday. April 11 at the parish hall of Trinity Episcopal Church in W ashington. Va. Hours are from 12 noon until 5:45 p.m. The public is urged to visit the mobile unit and donate blood to the Red Cross. In order to continue to receive blood in emergencies. Rappahannock County residents must contribute blood to the blood bank. At recent visits of the Bloodmobile to Rappahannock the designated quotas have not been reached; therefore it will be necessary to have a good turn out to reestablish Rappahannock’s credit with the blood program. Highway litter costly Litter along Virginia’s roads, always an ugly nuisance and sometimes a safety hazard, became a million dollar problem last year. According to State Highway Department figures, the cost of litter clean-up exceeded $1,050,732 for the 1971-72 fiscal year. That was $56,000 higher than the, previous year. Litter expenditures last year would have built about two miles of the arterial, network in many areas of the state. Or these funds could have financed more than 15 miles of construction on the secondary road system. In Rappahannock Cdunty total costs for clean-up cost $7,172.97. i Of the five people who sent correct identifications of last week’s barn, that of Col. Earl Holmes near Flint Hill, Mrs. Nancy Jones was the winner. She will receive a year’s subscription to the Rappahannock News free. The other entries were Ed Veitenthal, Mrs. Lula Jordan, Mrs. Mabel Settle and Allen Richard Brown. Here is another one to try. Letters to the Editor Pollution of the soul Editor: Like many others born and raised in Rappahannock County, I harbor an unspoken, abiding love for her people and her beauty. I support efforts on the part of her residents to assure that Rappahannock’s beauty and charm will not be despoiled, by anyone. As you may have gathered, I, too, am concerned about pollution, having walked along mountain streams in the county only to have a tranquil thought or moment interrupted by a floating beer can. Country lanes, shaded by oaks and maples, fenced with chestnut rails, are all too often cancerous with litter and garbage. This type of pollution is totally inexcusable—the result of careless, thoughtless, insensitive actions. Yet, there is another kind of pollution that, to some, is not so evident, and to others, painfully so. This is the pollution of the soul that invades a father when he is unable to provide sufficient necessities for his family because his job. if he is lucky enough to have one, doesn’t pay enough to enable him to pull hisTamily out of the quagmire of poverty. This type of pollution is particularly well known to every family that has seen its sons and daughters leave home and the county because economically they just couldn’t make it. Critics of KMC-Front Royal are wont to say that “the plant needs the workers more than the workers need the plant’’ — a debatable point. It just may be that Rappahannock, like some other rural Virginia counties, needs a basis for economic stabilization more than she needs another self-appointed expert to tell her what she needs. So the Viscose stinks — how very observant! No, I don’t like it. I think more should be done to clean up both the gaseous and the liquid effluents from, the plant. Unlike some, however, I believe it will get better. Public meetings have already been held; the odor has been declared objectionable; and Viscose management has undertaken a good faith effort to further improve the emission controls at the plant. And despite the ch arges of “serious damage to property and health,” “technological ignorance,” “uninformed emotionalism,” and “erudite” defenses, these efforts and their results are fully subject to public scrutiny and legal restrictions and guidelines, enforced at the state and federal level. We must now consider the needs of the majority of people, working people, and view realistically the costs and advantages of industrialized progress. Richard C. Brady Arlington, Virginia RLEP extends thanks Editor: Thank you and the Rappahannock News for the timely editorials and splendid coverage prior to the S. C. C. hearings of last week.

PANTHER TALES By Susan Latham Rappahannock High students participated in a track meet Tuesday in Page County. Milton Fletcher excelled in the long jump with 18’9”, and clears the high jump at 5 feet. Sports RCHS: Rappahannock had its first baseball game Tuesday with Montevideo. The crowd was totally enthused over the outcome. Our Panthers won 9-5. Since the Maroons were supposed to be such a tough team, I think we can expect much more of the same from the RCHS TEAM. I heard someone say after the game, “It’s a new ball game,” and it is!! Spring sports are really running strong this season (forget the pun). The boys track team met with Page and Luray last Wednesday on the Page County track. We captured several first, second and third places and came home with second place in the meet. Everyone is eagerly looking forward to the upcoming meets. Show your support of our team, won’t you.

Also on the spring sports scene are the RCHS girls who have been practicing diligently and look forward to their first meet Thursday with Central at Woodstock. The meet begins at 4 p.m. and fans are not only welcomed but urged to attend. ^ . Keep this meet and Friday’s baseball game with Luray at Luray in mind and see our students come home winners. With the season comes a crowded agenda at RCHS and this week is FHA Week. Members of the Future Homemakers Association are busy preparing for a tea Thursday afternoon for guests including Mr. Norton, our School Superintendent. The girls are also practicing for the apple pie baking contest Friday at the school. The victor in this intramural competition will represent RCHS in th baking contest at Winchester during the Apple Blossom festivities. There competition will include girls from Maryland, West Virginia and Pennsylvania. Several FHA members were utilizing their baking skills Tuesday and if you detected a peculiar odor during sixth period in the halls of RCHS it might have been the results of their attempts. I understand some students were seeing who could bake the largest cookie when suddenlj the dough spread out toe far and slid off the cookie sheet into the oven. The scene was hilarious but the cookie didn’t taste bad al all. I was one of the privileged who got some of j the end product. Now you’re1 cooking, girls. Juniors will be taking their College Board exams Saturday at neighboring . high schools. Watch out if i you see one of them on the ( road after they’ve completed them . . . they might be dangerous. f. Seniors have also been busy but in a different area. For the past several weeks practice for their play has been underway. Each Monday, Tuesday and Thursday the cast has been and will be rehearsing and props are being built and painted.

H. W. Burgess, superintendent of State Police, reported. Pedestrian deaths were down from 48 to 38^ deaths of servicemen from 12 to four and those of motorcyclists were even at five, he said. Traffic volumes for January 1973, were 9.5 per cent above those of January 1972, and Col. Burgess said the upward trend will probably be about the same for January and February when information is available. Deaths in 1973 numbered 73 in January, 88 in February and 86 in March. For 1972, the comparative tolls were 85, 74 and 114. COL. BURGESS said that all 1973 statistics are subject to upward revision due to the deaths of persons now carried as injured and late reports. He also warned that deaths usually rise with good weather and asked for care and cooperation to continue this favorable trend. □ Draft Board Many persons are confused as to the requirements now that the Selective Service is on a standby basis.

Speakers oppose power lines at Vepco hearings (From page I) lowed by witness after wits' ness who told of highhanded procedures followed by Vepco surveying crews and of an apparent disregard by the company for the environment and effects of lowered property values to the counties that would be crossed by the proposed lines. AND ONE witness implied in his testimony that Vepco speaks out of both sides of its corporate mouth — that it tells one court one story, and another court another. Carroll Savage testified at the Warrenton night hearing. He told Commission members that a tract of land he own on Fiery Run would be disected by a proposed line, which would follow a streambed in a valley. between two ridges. During his testimony it came out that Savage, a resident of Alexandria who plans a summer house on Fiery Run, is a tax attorney and it was curious, he said, that just recently he came on a case which Vepco had brought in the Court of Claims in Washington, D.C. SAVAGE SAID Vepco pleaded before the Court of Claims that it should be allowed to depreciate its high tension lines. And he said: “They put on an expert witness, I think a man from M.I T., to show that these powerlines will be obsolete in 27 years. The court apparently believed them.” During a following intermission Angus McCauley, an attorney representing a group of Rappahannock protesters, said: “They (Vepco) were hoist on^their own petard.” RAYMOND GUEST of Front Royal , member of the House of Lelegates, spoke of the new duties of the Commission in protecting the environment of the state. “We have a uniquely beautiful area which is rural in nature,” he said. “We must do all that is possible to protect it from ‘progress’.” Guest said thatapparently only engineers find beauty in powerlines, and added that new lines, if possible, should follow established corridors “where the damage already has been done.” George H. Davis, Jr. Rappahannock County’s Commonwealth’s Attorney, testified at both hearings. In Warrenton Davis pointed out that damage to one part of the county damaged all nartc “There is a certain amount of money needed each year in Rappahannock to run the schools and the government,” Davis said. “Wheiv you depress land values in one place, you have to make up for this in another. It will mean a lot more tax money for some people.” Said Davis: “Vepco found a natural, undamaged piece of forest land, and just couldn’t keep their hot little hands off of it.” DAVIS SAID the line would follow and degrade the path through Rappahan Mrs. Dorothy Davis shows an Indian peace pipe found along the Rappahannock River and a map made by Explorer John Lederer in the mid 1600’s. She said the powerline would follow the Lederer trail and would degrade its historical significance. nock followed by John Lederer, the first white man to reach the Blue Ridge Mountains in the mid 1600’s. The Lederer story was described more fully by his wife, Dorothy, former Washington mayor, the next day. Mrs. Davis said she is working on a history project for Rappahannock County’s participation in the upcoming 1976 bi-centen nial. She said she has researched the John Lederer trail, and there are plans to establish markers there for the 1976 anniversary. Mrs. Davis showed Commission members an early map of the trail followed by Lederer, arrow heads picked up along the Rappahannock, and an Indian peace pipe found in the area. “It might be appropri ate,” she said “to sit down .with Vepco and smoke the pipe. The powerline would destroy the historic value of the county.” MRS. DAVIS said she and her husband own property on both sides of the Fauquier - Rappahannock County line. “It makes me nauseated every time I think about (See pace 10) Anthony Haynie of Warren County, shows commissioners sketches of how the powerlines will look at the Washington hearing in the Rappahannock County Courthouse.

Vepco lines opposed (From pac« 7) having to look at that line. * I get all up tight about it.” George Davis reminded Commissioners that Rappahannock is a “vertical” county, a county of high hills and valleys. “You could see those towers for miles. It isn’t like flat country where a powerline wouldn’t be noticed half a mile away.” SPEAKING with deep affection for her land, Mrs. Edwin Chapman of Bealton told of the destruction of “beautiful trees” by power company surveying crews, and how the proposed lines in »her area would desecrate fine old houses. “They (the surveyors) came on our land without permission,” she said, “and they rattled our cattle guards and cut our trees. One was a beautiful, large holly. “My husband got so disgusted that he wouldn’t help me, so I’m sort of wandering around with these notes.” Later, Mrs. Chapman told about her bee tree and explained why her husband was disguested. While she was talking, a neighbor passed by and said: “If you had been before a jury, they would have all cried.” Mrs. Chapman explained that her husband wasn’t disgusted at her testifying, but at the whole idea of Vepco and the powerlines. “I think I forgot to tell about my bee tree,” she said. “It’s a special tree s ! !

He looked up, and there was that bee tree. That’s what makes it so special. “Another time I fussed at my daughter, when she was little, and she decided to leave home. She got as far as the woods where she found a fawn- She didn’t want to leave home after that. That’s why I like the woods and the protection it gives the animals.” ARNOLD HELM said that if more power is needed in the area, then Vepco should use the established corri, dors. He said he was concerned about land he owned in the southern area of the county. He said he was afraid construction of the powerlines would disturb the deer herds. “Just how would the lines damage the deer?” Richard Rogers, Commission counsel asked. “How would a power right of way affect the deer?” Said Helm: It would form a slaughter pass. Hunters could slaughter them.” IN RAPPAHANNOCK, J. Newbill Miller, chairman of the Board of Supervisors, said the board viewed the proposed line with “a great deal of concern.” Miller said the Board unanimously opposes the powerline, and that the Board “represents the majority of the people.” He said the line would be a threat to the county’s economy, and might injure the county’s tax base forever. “Our people here are quiet people,” Miller said, “and many don’t like to come in and testify. But you can be sure that we speak for the majority.” A different approach to evaluating the power company needs was suggested by Col. J.T. White, who said he expects to retire soon from the Army Corps of Engineers. Speaking to the Vepco assertion that building new lines in established corridors would lower the reliability of power service, Col. White questioned the need for a high degree of reliability. “If you build the lines in existing corridors,” he said, “you may increase power outages and some businesses and institutions, such as hospitals, may have to install standby generating equipment. “It would cost them more, but the bill then would be paid by the people who use the power. The esthetic value here is paramount,” he said. COL. *WHITE said he searched for eight years to find a place to build a house George H. Davis Jr., Rappahannock wealth’s Attorney, prepares to give Vepco hearing in Washington. County Common* testimony at the for. retirement. We plan to build, but can’t now until this question is settled.” His 75 acres near Flint Hill would overlook the proposed lines. Ed Harris of Huntly charged that Vepco is spending more money for advertising than for research. “Is it not significant that Vepco spent nearly $9 million in one year for advertising electric power and only $779,000 for research?” Harris asked. Where did you get those figures?” demanded Vepco attorney Evans Brasfield. “From the ‘Washington Magazine,’ and other articles, and they have never been challenged,” Harris replied. “Vepco malfes much of impending shortages,” Harris told the Commissioners. “But there is another kind of shortage of which it says little . . . and that is a growing shortage of the kind of back country, beautiful land that you have seen around you on your tour of duty here.” Commissioner Shannon said the Commission last summer had told Vepco to change its advertising emphasis from the promotion of power use to the promotion of power conservation. “We are very much interested in this,” he said. MANY OF those who testified both at Warrenton and at Washington would not be affected directly by the proposed power lines. They came to testify, they said, because of their concern for the beauty of the whole land, and because of their neighbors who were directly affected. Like Linda Balentine, who said she did not own property and would not be directly affected: “My esthetic sensibility is offen ded by these giant, metallic towers. 1 think of them as a testament to the death of man. These towers hit me in the gut.” Or Mrs. Eileen Day of Rappahannock, who said: “I’m not affected by the line, but I oppose it on esthetic and economic grounds. Once you take away our beauty, you’ve taken our economic base.” And almost all who testified urged that if the lines have to come, they should follow the established lines, where “the damage already has been done.” THOSE WHO registered to testify at the Warrenton hearing, besides those already noted, were: W. Ervin Green, Hume; Arnold Helm, Remington; Chilton Stone, Remington; Francis L. Green, Warrenton; Joseph E. Wight, Remington; William A. Duvall, Linden; C.R.

Cross. Bags of annual game bird mixture, each sufficient to plant 1/8 acre, are abatable free to qualified landowners and to clubs and civic groups who can substantiate that they have land available for planting. The materials are attractively packaged in clear plastic bags with a multi-color illustration of game birds on the front. The annual game bird mix consists of soy beans, German millet, brown-top' millet, proso millet, Japanese millet and milo, harvested from Game Commission Wildlife Management Areas. It has proven to be attractive to quail, turkeys, doves, rabbits and deer. It is best planted in strips along field edges adjacent to cover. Woodland fire trails, abandoned logging roads and power line or pipe line right-of-way are excellent. Orders for the game bird mixture should be placed with the game warden assigned to the county in which the property is located.

Effective tag deadline may be April 13 AS THE APRIL 15th deadline approaches for buying Virginia auto licenses, Commissioner Vern L. Hill of the Division of Motor Vehicles suggests that all motorists note carefully that April 15 falls on Sunday. Thus, Friday, April 13 becomes, for most car owners, the real deadline for the purchase of 1973 license plates at DMV offices. Some license agents and sub-agents, however, maintain Saturday hours and will be open for business on April 14. Since the 1973 license year inaugurates the new multi-year plates and the staggered-month system for annual renewal, the usual 30-day buying period was extended to 45 days, from March 1 to April 15. Therefore, there will be no consideration of an extension beyond the normal deadline.

HAPPINESS IS GOING TO A REGIONAL MEETING! week remaining for car owners to buy the new blueon-white tags, Commissioner Hill notes that most motorists are choosing February or May as their option for license renewal in the future. “While we want to give the vehicle owner a convenient choice of renewal month,” Hill says, “we don’t want to duplicate the March/April license plate rush of former years.” Choose any of the eight months other than February, March, April, or May,” Hill urges. “They’re all good, and selecting one of these months will assure the public of line-free service the year ’round at DMV facilities, COMMISSIONER Hill al so said that certain disabled veterans may be eligible for free 1973 Virginia motor vehicle license plates. “It has come to our attention that some eligible Virginia veterans may not be aware of this benefit, despite the publicity the 1972 General Assembly bill received last year. Veterans organizations have also publicized provisions of the measure for veterans,” Hill pointed out. Under the terms of the legislation, no annual registration fee is required for any one motor vehicle owned and used personally by any veteran who has lost the use of one or both legs, or an arm or a hand, or who is blind. Any disabled veteran with a service-incurred disability can obtain qualifying details and certification by contacting T.B. Boyer at the Veterans Administration Regional Office, 211 West Campbell Avenue, Roanoke, Va. 24011. Virginia veterans resideing out of state, but who own vehicles registered in Virginia, may obtain full information by contacting their nearest VA office. Commissioner Hill emphasized tha t any disabled veteran who meets the qualifications, but who has already purchased 1973 Virginia license plates, is eligible for a refund. The veteran should contact the Division of Motor Vehicles in Richmond for details. □ ) OUR VERY BEST PLAT WALL PAINT SALE Wall paint to make you glad you used it.

Veterans assistance A recent Public Law authorized the Veterans Administration to pay aid and attendance to eligible parents who are receiving dependency and indemnity compensation or death compensation. This aid and attendance allowance is $55.00 per month for each parent and paid in addition to regular monthly amounts of DIC or death compensation a parent might be receiving. A parent, otherwise eligible, may receive the $55.00 per month if a patient in a nursing home, or so helpless as to require the aid and attendance of another person. If the proper evidence is submitted, the VA is permitted to authorize payments retroactive for up to one year, back to the effective date of the law. If a parent is a patient in a nursing home, then a statement to that effect will be sufficient for VA to award aid and attendance benefits. If a parent is not in a nursing home, then it will be necessary to submit medical evidence. If a parent is also whittled to receive pension based upon his or her military service, aid and attendance allowance is payable as a veteran and as a parent. A widow receiving pension and aid and attendance based on her husband’s service can also receive aid and attendance on her pension if she is a veteran herself. Edwin L. Pomeroy, of the Front Royal Office of the Division of War Veterans’ Claims, ts in Washington at the Clerk’s Office on the 1st and 3rd Monday from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. and will gladly , give more details on this subject or any other matter connected with vet-, erans’ affairs. □ Panthei*s win first ■ (From page 9) in the high jump with 5’0”.

This course will be beneficial to producers engaged in full-time livestock enterprises in the Shenandoah Valley region. Pasture Management (AGR 108) will include units of instruction on the establishment, management and utilization of pastures; summer pastures, winter pastures, and year-round grazing; and the most re cent technological practices in pasture management. Students will be assisted in developing pasture management plans applied to their personal production goals. THE COURSE will be taught by Prof. Richard Dovell, a full-time member of the Community College’s Agricultural and Natural Resources faculty. Dovell has earned a Master’s degree from the Pennsylvania State University.

INFORMATION on registration for the Lord Fairfax Community College spring term is available by phone at 869-1120.

Grain set-aside requirements reduced ft • . * A FURTHER reduction in set-aside requirements for the full compliance provision of the 1973 Feed Grain Program was announced by Secretary of Agriculture Earl L. Butz in order to bring U.S. feed grain supplies more in line with expected demand. , The required set-aside for full compliance is changed from 25 to 10 per cent of a producer’s feed grain base. For participants who elected not to comply fully with the setaside program, the requv f ired set-aside remains unchanged at 0 per cent. This action is taken to prevent or alleviate a shortage in the supply of agricultural commodities. The action will free up to an estimated additional 13.5 million acres for production of grain and other crops and for forage, USDA officials said. Department officials said the action is considered necessary after reviewing the March 1 planting intentions report.

At the same time the secretary reemphasized that the S3.8 million acres of soybeans indicated in the March 1 report are the minimum needed in order to meet demand. AS A RESULT of the reduced set-aside requirements, the Department estimates that an additional 2.5 to 3.5 million acres will be planted to corn; the remainder of the 13.5 million acres will be available for the planting of other crops and for haying and t .,.-rsmxss grazing. USD A officials stressed that no enrollment changes will be allowed in the feed grain and wheat programs. Thos producers who agreed in the recently concluded 1973 Feed Grain Program signup (Feb. 5 - March 16) to set aside 25 per cent of their feed grain base will not receive less program payment and will automatically have their set-aside reduced to 10 per cent. Grazing and haying on the remaining 10 per cent set-aside will be optional with the same dollar-peracre deduction as before. The officials also stressed that program payments to those who elected not to set-aside any acreage would not be affected by the action. Conserving base requirements will remain unch anged. Total payment per farm for participation will remain unchanged from that announced on January 31 and as agreed to at enrollment. Producers who have signed up in the 1973 Feed Grain Program need take no further action at. this time-as no further signatures, forms or papers are necessary. There will be no additional cost to producers where remeasurement services are required. « Washington Volinteer Fire Department has acquired a water wagon which carries approximately 1500 gallons of water, a necessity for rural areas.
