Sperryville study urged Citizens want cheaper systems o'ul ■jfj A “CONSENSUS” in favor of searching for a solution to Sperryville’s pollution problem that might be less costly than the collector system and treatment plant originally . recommended, developed at a well-attended meeting Monday- night at the Rappahannock Courthouse. A collection system and secondary—perhaps tertiary-treatment plant might cost $500,000 or more to serve 104 houses or approximately 416 people, and some homeowners from the area made it clear they thought that was ridiculous. The Sperryville citizens liked better a suggestion by retired General Daniel Noce—that some 30 open sewer lines into the Thornton River be connected and pumped to a septic field, or several fields, on higher ground. He thought the solution to Sperryville’s problem might come as cheaply as $30,000, or $1,000 for each householder/ But whether or not General Noce’s suggestion .is feasible—or whether new technology offers a solution, as suggested by retired Col. Pete Lukemost of Sperryville’s citizens seemed happy at the news that the State Water Control Board approved 85 per cent funding for any feasible solution. The 85 per cent would be in the form of an outright grant, not a loan, which particularly pleased Mrs. Helen Kilby. Mrs. Kilby identified herself as the major opponent of a sewer system when it was first proposed in 1968, but she said if the current program could be worked out, she’d be for it. She thought her neighbors would, too. Carson Johnson was highly critical of new Water Control Board standards being applied to situations which dated back 25 or 30 years, and Lester Deal had some hard words to say about “Rappahannock politic s’ but by and large, the consen sus kept returning to the the desire to seek the most economical and most immediate solution to Sperryville’s problem. DR. R.S. LeGarde, chief health officer for a district which embraces Rappahannock, Fauquier, Culpeper, Madison and Orange presided at Monday night’s meeting at the Rappahannock Court house in Washington. He was introduced by Chairman of the Board of Supervisors Newbill Miller, who stated that the supervisors’ position was that “we’re not going to advise Dr. LeGarde to violate the law.” The latest Sperryville crisis was precipitated when Dr. LeGarde appeared before the Board to say he was not going to issue anymore temporary health permits, especially to places serving food to the public. One of these places is in Sperryville. Dr. LeGarde said the meeting was called “to explore any feasible means of abating the pollution of the Thornton River at Sperryville,” and he described present conditions—where lines discharge raw sewage directly into the river—as “not a good situation.” He thought it was time for “a more energetic attempt” to achieve a solution, even while advising the group that he had been told by the Water Control Board that “they will not prosecute individual polluters,” (Dwight Sours, a WCB man present, said merely: “Generally.”). See Page 6 Mrs. Jesse Settle of Amissville holds the paste can while her son Kurt arranges the letters of his name to paste on the poster. This was a summer school project. Elementary Supervisor of Rappahannock and Warren Counties was in charge of the summer school. Animal Industry Day at VPI IT STARTS with farmers being concerned about feed and labor costs; proceeds to processors concernedabout livestock and labor costs; continues to markets concerned about overhead costs, and winds up with housewives wondering if they can really afford that tempting standing rib roast or those marvelous double pork chops. The chain starts on the farm, with feed and labor cost considerations, and it is indicative of the pressures of today’s markets that the Northern Virginia farmers and livestock men who attended last Friday’s 10th Annual Animal Indus try Day at Virginia Tech were mainly interested in new concepts in solving the feed problem. The best-attended lecture was on the subject of year-round grazing on carefully managed fescue fields; the best-attended demonstrations were on new haying and handling machinery, all designed to cut down on handling and storage costs. A BUSLOAD of interested persons from Fauquier, two busloads from Rappahannock, and a number of individuals from Loudoun, Clarke, Wqrren. and nearby agricultural counties were among the thousands of livestock industry people from all over Virginia who descended on Blacksburg for the day-long program. They heard Senator Harry Byrd, an orchardist, priase his “fellow optimists” (all farmers have to be optimists, he said) as the best farmers in the world, and the people who hold the key to the health of the American economy. “American farms are the envy of the world,” said Byrd, who noted that while 55 years ago Lenin had promised “food and freedom to Russians, they still don’t have much of either. Concluded Virginia’s Senior Senator: “Until Russia grants freedom they will not conquer their food problems. The independent spirit of farmers runs contrary to the collective farm systems.” American agriculture, meanwhile, has continued to prosper and today “ is one of the best weapons for combatting America’s monetary problems,” Byrd said. “We are accustomed to thinking of the United States as an industrial nation. . . we tend to think about factories and forget See Page 10

SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 A sound approach THE APPROACH to Sperryville’s pollution problem which developed at the meeting Monday night at the courthouse strikes us as an entirely sensible one. It is, indeed, ridiculous to think that a staggeringly expensive sewer system is the only possible way the community’s problems can be solved and the Thornton River cleaned up. It is, indeed, entirely reasonable to search for either limited applications of tried and true disposal methods, or for new technology, that might offer a more affordable solution. 2 It was ^heartening, too, to see that no one talked of the problem in the distressing way you hear in some "counties to the North of us—such as Fauquier, Loudoun and Prince William. Up there, they always seem to go after the biggest and most expensive solution to pollution problems, on the misguided impression that bigger is always better, and that more will mean less—that more people attracted by a large sewer system will mean lessTn individual shares of the cost. THAT THEORY OF “Broadening the tax base” used to be argued in favor of all “growth” proposals, from subdivisions to highways to sewer plants. That it isn’t being cited so often any more is evidence that the lessons of Northern Virginia may finally be taking hold. Rappahannock County’s record has been good, thus far, in this respect. The county’s policy toward growth pressures in general has been entirely commendable, a policy that might be characterized as expressing extreme caution, and of not worrying so much about accommodating developers as about how to preserve and enhance those qualities which make Rappahannock a desirable place in which to live. INCREASING PRESSURES might alter this policy. But iright now, Rappahannock is setting a good example. If the county manages to update and strengthen its rules and regulations during the current short-term moratorium on new subdivisions, then things could look even brighter for the prospects of preserving the beautiful hills and valleys of Rappahannock for present and future generations to enjoy. □ Voter roles up THE NUMBER of registered voters in Rappahannock County increased steadily for several years and leveled off. Presently the registration rolls are declining. According to the county registrar, Mr*. Mary Cleverley of Flint Hill, in October 1972 total registered voters here were 2,451. As of July 5, 1973 the total decreased to 2,421, a drop of 30. Deaths and changes of residency account for the decline. .

Highway advertising Editor: I just cannot agree with the News editorial of July 12. . * At first glance, the News view on free advertising seems to make sense. However, a deeper study throws a different light on the subject of the State of Virginia giving free advertising to a select few. As an old traveler, I have seen many, many miles of interstate roads across this beautiful country of ours—dirt, gravel, brick with right angle corners and on up to the concrete monsters of today. Each year since 1922 I have “toured” somewhere by auto. I have followed a trail of landmarks, painted bands on telegraph poles, the old Ocean to Ocean, Pikes Peak and Lincoln Highway—even ran out of road once in Western Kansas. Expensive as they are, I am happy with the new overhead signs, especially 5 the electric ones that give warnings on accidents, etc. As for free advertising— would you rather see several tall giraffe-necked gasoline signs towering above the countryside at every exit along our interstates, or settle for the new low and controlled informatioh type? Any good mechanic will tell you to tune your engine to one gasoline and stick to it when you can. So, I look for my gas. I carry two credit cards for gasoline and other related services—both for a tax record and for safety reasons. Your company gasoline dealer can also act somewhat like your banker if the need arises. Motels honor your gasoline credit card if they are affiliated with your feompany. So, once again, I look for those motels. You want more billboards? The Virginia Department of Highways surely has not an over-abundance of money or that long dangerous serpintine climb up over Thornton Gap would now be a fairly straight cantilever hung modern roadway, reducing the weekly bumper-to-bumper parade of of flatland city people and others just going home for the weekend. L.A. Wood Reva Editor’s note—what we are dealing with here, obviously, is a dyed-in-thewool, flag-waving, bellson, super-fan of the automotive age—even to credit cards, chain motels and a desire to see every twisting country road transformed into a “fairly straight cantilever hung roadway.” Tut tut. No, we wouldn’t like to see more towering signs, those obvious subterfuges of antibillboard interstate regulations; and we still think free advertising provided by the State of Virginia is a corrupted use of highway tax funds. But some people like all that jazz. □ RLEP meet THE third annual membership meeting for the Rappahannock League For Environmental Protection, Inc.

Sperryville’s problem Fropi Page 1 LeGARDE said the Control Board continues to regard Sperryville as a “high priority” for grants, even though a new study would mean returning $34,000 already allotted and filing a new grant application. He said it had been estimated that it would cost $2,000 to upgrade the engineering study for Sperryville. and that .new treat ment requirements might up the price of the system by $100,000. The 1968 estimate of the cost of the system had been $265,000. “That’s a lot of money, but not as bad as I anticipated,” said Dr. LeGarde. ,, Dr. A.F. Scheele of Manassas, regional health director for Northern Virginia, recalled that “I have been exposed to this situation previously, and I thought we were in pretty , good shape there for awhile. But somewhere, the ball was dropped.” Now pressures are mounting again that something be done, Dr. Scheele said. “I’d like to see the people in this incorporated town” (he was corrected) “un-incorporated town and this county do something so we won’t have to.” Added Dr. Scheele: = “There are health hazards being created, and that’s our only concern. The Water Control Board has asked where these health hazards are, and if Dr. LeGarde puts his name on a piece of paper saying this tjWiWICH r \ j Place Your \ i Trust In Experience ■ / Our reputation is built on understand* ing and integrity.

PRIVATE AMBULANCE CEMETERY MEMORIAL 4M SunpEi Bmt CMMPM. V«. MMJH it will be given very high priority. Many places would have lesser priority, because their problems are not quite as gross as you people have her.” ADVISED Dr. Scheele: “You folks would be making a grave error not to take advantage of this opportunity (for grants). I certainly hope you folks will take appropriate action.” Ned Johnson, of the county’s water and sewer authority, said he’d heard the WCB say that a problem exists, but that he’d also heard them say “they can force anybody to put in a plant until the financing can be found.” Ernest Simmons of Richmond director of the Water Control Board’s grants program, tried to explain what was involved. If Rappahannock turns back that$34,000previously approved, Simmohs said, a new application for 75 per cent funds from the federal government, and 10 per cent from the state, can be fHed and approved. He was interrupted by Mayor Andrew Kozik of Washington, who Kept ashing questions about his town. He asked so many that Lester Deal finally asked him a question, in turn: “Mr. Mayor; I thought this meeting was called to talk about Sperryville.”) In answer to a question from Ned Johnson, Simmons said that the lagoon planned for? the first system would probably not be approved at this date. This was verified by Ron Conner of the WCB, who estimated that the 104 houses in Sperryville might generate between 40,000 and 50,000 gallons of sewage per day. COL. LUKE wondered if part of the 85 per cent grant could be used to look into new treatment systems, such as “vacuum, burning,” etc. He was told that it could. Carson Johnson and Mrs. Kilby wanted to make sure that the 85 per cent fund would be a grant, and not a loan, Simmons assured them. Mayor Kozik asking questions about Washington. “How do the people make their wishes known, so that the supervisors can take action?” he wanted to know. “How do you get a body of Sperryville people together, with no council, no Mayor?” Said Newbill Miller: “If the majority wanted it, we’d appoint an authority to cover the local area.” Or it could be handled through, the existing county authority, suggested Simmons. Miller was emphatic in stating his belief that it was NOT an obligation that should be undertaken by the entire county. Asked Tommy Easton: “Would the county as a whole be morally obligated?” “NO!” said Miller. CARSON JOHNSON then made a brief speech in which he stated it as his belief that no one in Sperry - ville is doing anything that is illegal. Said he: “There are 29 raw sewer lines into the Thornton. None are illegal. At the time they were put in 25 to 30 years ago, it was as legal to do that* as anything else. It’s a problem, I agree. . .But as taxpayers we’ve helped people build dams, do spraying, fire control— we’ve contributed to these things that help people as a whole.

Why should 300 people in Sperryville now be asked to pay $300,000 to purify the water for. all of the people of Virginia?” Carson Johnson also maintained that pollution of the Thornton started above Sperryville, in the Shenandoah National Park. Dr. LeGarde conceded that his department is trying to “re-identify pollution sources,” but that at the present time, “it seems that the situation is about the same as before; there are some 30 to 40 pollution sources in the community.” AS QUESTIONS continued, Dr. LeGarde expressed a recurring query to Simmons: “Can the money be spent on other means (of solution)?”—other than a collector system and plant. Simmons again said it could. Lester Deal thought the engineering questions “best left up to you people,” but that up to now “you’ve been talking about a lot of money, and it scares people.” Added Deal: “I’m willing to hook onto any suitable system that the people can afford.” Dr. LeGarde, feeling encouraged, suggested that the supervisors and the county water and sewer authority take steps to upgrade the engineering study of Sperryville and then “tell us what it will cost and how we can finance it.” IN ANSWER to a question from Carson Johnson about Highway Department plans in Sperryville, Dr. LeGarde grinned: “I even went to the State Highway people hoping they would buy Sperryville. They said that was one of the possibilities, but that they also have two plans now to go around Sperryville.” Dr. LeGarde also characterized the previous $34, 000 grant as “just a comeon—it wouldn’t build anything. But now the WCB is saying if we come up with a plan, they’ll pay 85 per cent of everything but the actual laterals leading to the houses, and the land the plant stands on.” Mrs. Kilby recalled that Sperryville citizens “resisted before because the cost was entirely unreasonable. The 100 families would have had to assume a debt of $160,000.” She also complained that owners had been practically threatened to finance the old lagoon system, “while tonight I was shocked to hear that a lagoon would be no good.” Added Mrs. Kilby: “I’m sure that never has a majority been opposed to a sewer system. They want some kind of solution. . . I think it’s the best news I’ve heard that we could get a grant such as this. I think you’ll find the people encouraged.” Dr.f LeGarde, too, was “most encouraged.” GENERAL NOCE then made a long plea for a cheaper system. He called it “reducto ad absurdam” for the Water Control Board to put pressure on Sperryville while places such as Washington, D. C., Roanoke and Richmond did far more to pollute streams. He suggested a small interceptor system to pump the offending Sperryville systems to a septic field on higher ground, and advised everyone that “we should seek the simplest solution. Can’t, for God’s sake, we handle this in a plain way? There’s only 30 lines involved!” Noce embarked on a dissertation of various treatment experiments, finally being interrupted by Dr. LeGarde, who asked if he would be willing to serve as an advisor to the study group. “I will take no more jobs for the county,” said Noce. “I’m sorry you wouldn’t listen to more.” And he sat down. BUT NED Johnson liked the Gerteral’s idea about a See Page 7 NOTICE The Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors will receive bids for refuse service for the county from those interested parties at its regular August meeting, that being August 2, 1973 at 10 a.m. in Rappahannock County Courthouse, Washington, Virginia.

He protested that expensive systems are not practical for Sperryville, especially when they might cost $1,000 ^ a month just to operate. “The General’s idea may well be the most feasible,” conceded Dr. LeGarde.

Luke and others continued to bombard Dr. LeGarde and the WCB with questions. “The other project was overkill for just 30 sewers,” said Luke. “It doesn’t have to cost that much money.” Sounds of agreement filled the room. “THEN WE’VE got to find a system that can be approved, and find out if we can afford it,” summed up Dr. LeGarde. But the Health Officer emphasized that “I will not continue to issue permits for public enterprises that violate the law, particularly food places. . .The law says I cannot approve until they have approved and Angus show is July 31 In a celebration of the Centennial Year of Angus cattle in the United States, Angus breeders from throughout Virginia will exhibit a record number of their top individuals in the Twelth Annual Virginia Angus Breeders’ Show to be held at the Culpeper Agricultural Enterprises, Culpeper, July 31. Exhibiting before Judge Ernie Craig of Mauldin, S. Car. the 29 exhibitors will display 73 head competing for cash premiums and an array of silver awards befitting the Centennial celebration. Many of the exhibits will also be shown in the famed annual “Spotlight” Show to be held in Culpeper on October 15, and offered at auction in the sale to follow. □ Mr. Sealock, classroom instructor in summer school, with Mrs. Landon Walker and Mrs. Betty Lilly on parents visiting day Thursday. accepted systems.” Lester Deal then posed a long, rhetorical question about “why was I permitted to get a title,” to piece of property that had been “tied up” for several years, only to learn three weeks later that a permit would not be issued. “Who was responsible?” he asked, suggesting that the answer might be: “Rappahannockpolitics.” “If you want to open a restaurant, come to me,” said LeGarde. “If you’ve got a good water and sewer system, I’ll approve it.” Newbill Miller reiter ated his point that the supervisors “will not tell Dr. LeGarde to violate the law.” AFTER MORE statements, Mrs. Carson Johnson concluded: “Those of us who have approved systems have no problem. . . The 39 who do should be taken care of by the cheapest means, and by all of Rappahannock County.” The meeting adjourned shortly thereafter.

Curbing feed costs Animal Industry Day stresses new methods From Page 1 about our farms.” But while American industry has been bending before challenges from such countries as Japan and Germany, American agriculture remains “one of the most progressive and productive industries in the world.” A STRONG American agriculture “gives us our strongest leverage in dealing with other countries,” Byrd said, but he warned against “largescale exports of single commodities,” and cited the “Russian grain deal” as a good example of selling too cheap.” That transaction,he said, “provided, in effect, for a subsidy by the American taxpayer; that’s not the way to do business with the Russians.” He urged tougher, “hard-nosed bargaining” by American negotiators not only in agricultural commodities but in national defense considerations. as well. He also praised President Nixon for attempting to achieve a balanced budget. “I agree with (the balanced budget) one thousand per cent,” said Byrd, adding: “No, that’s a McGovern word; I’d better say 100 per cent.” Members of the audience chuckled. “I’ve been saying in Washington at least once a week since I went there that we won’t solve inflation until government puts its own house in order and gets back to a balancec budget,” said Senator Byrd. TICKING OFF budgetry deficits over the past four years, Byrd concluded that “no wonder the dollar has less value all over the world.” The debt rose, he said, to where it totalled 25 per cent of the nation’s total debt over 150 years,” or a total of $27.5 billion. iSTORE - WIDE This Week Only Covering Living Room, Bedroom, Dining Room, Dinettes, General Electric Appliances, Bedding, Carpets end most all other items throughout the entire store, at prices much lower than normal, many at half-price and some at much lower, for quick close-outs.

We are rich in resources and in spirit. But we have been following unsound policies too long,’’ the Senator asserted. FORAGE SESSION THE WORLD’S best farmers didn’t get that way sitting around listening to political speeches, however. Their real interest was in the new hay handling equipment, and in a lecture after lunch on “New Wintering System Concepts,” delivered byCurtis Mast of the VPI staff. Mast identified the problem for Virginia livestock growers. Eighty-two per cent of Virginia’s herds are less than 50 head in size, but account for 46 per cent of all cattle produced. Twelve per cent are from 50-100 head, or 26 per cent of production; four per cent are from 100 to 200 head, or 17 per cent of production; less than one per cect are over 200 head, and these herds only account for 10 per cent of total production. Therefore, small units are the key in Virginia, and keeping costs down are even more important, Mast noted. And the cost of wintering livestock is a major factor. IN VIRGINIA, winter feeding lasts for 120 to 150 days; if that period can be shortened to 60 to 90 days, the savings would be enormous. Standing fescue (Kentucky 31) <*is one possibility,” suggested Master. With a bow to Northern Virginia, he conceded that some farmers have maintained that fescue wasn't as good as orchard grass, but he said VPI scientists now know “the sugar content of fescue drops when the weather turns warm, and goes up when it turns cold.” Mast saw standing fescue as a method whereby the farmer “substitutes land for labor and machinery” in meeting his feed requirements. "Supplemental feeding and careful management are See Page 11 Steve Leake and Wilson Atkins helped with the construe* tion of new carnival ground stands for Sperryville which was completed before the Wednesday night opening of the festival. A big parade is the feature tonight, Thursday.

Animal Industry Day at VPI Irom Page 10 important ingredients of the standing fescue technique, he emphasized, referring to continuing experimentation that is Being conducted at the Middleburg Forage Center. OTHER METHODS of re - ducing wintering costs touched on by Mast dealt with new methods of leaving round bales in the fields. “We’re backing up 20 years,” he noted with a grin. New handling methods are also being developed for conventional square bales, Mast noted, all designed to cut down on labor costs. New methods of putting up giant bales which are left in the field were developed in the search for a method where one man could “put up half the hay in the county, “Mast said. Another method of cutting wintering costs may lie in standing sorghum, Mast explained. But compared to fescue, he added, “the quality is low.” Vitamin and proteins must be added to the cattles’ diet if this method is to succeed, he warned. And in discussing new forage handling methods, Mast emphasized that the small average size of Virginia’s herds means that hay handling equipment must carry a price tag small enough to be handled by the small farmer. THEN MOST of those present adjourned to a five - acre hay field which had been cut and raked to show off several types of new hay handling equipment that has been developed—from small round bales which are left in the field, to a huge, lumbering machine ( called a “Haybuster”) which prepares a giant haystack. There were even machines for picking up completed haystacks and carrying them from one field to another. As is always the case in such demonstrations, some of the machines didn’t work as advertised, some didn’t work at all, and some didn’t work as well as their manufacturers said they would. Newbill Miller and son were among the multitude partaking of tiie lunch at the agriculture tour day in Blacksburg Friday. Apparently dessert was watermelon.

As parents gathered in the RCES auditorium for visiting day Thursday they joined in a game similar to one which the children had enjoyed during the summer preschool classes. They also visited in the class rooms and viewed play and library activity. OBITUARIES Brady Mrs. Eva Noakes Brady, 88, of Stephen City, died Tuesday July 17, 1973 in Winchester Memorial Hospital.

Baker-Clatterbuck sentenced Cover Floyd Baker of Front Royal and Joseph Abraham Clatterbuck of Sperryville waived preliminary hearing and grand jury and entered a plea of guilty on two counts each in Rappahannock County Circuit Court Friday. Each was charged with grand larceny and breaking and entering in the June 23 burglary of the home of G.A. Burgers in Harris Hollow near Washington, Va. Baker and Clatterbuck were apprehended by the owner, his son and a friend when they returned home to find the pair inside packing up loot. The two were trussed up by their captors and taken to the home of a nearby state policeman. In court Friday, each was sentenced to five years in the penitentiary on each charge. Baker’s sentences were to run consecutively and one of his was suspended, (he will serve the other). Court costs of $410 were assessed. The case of Baker as an habitual offender has been continued. Clatterbuck’a sentences were to run concurrently and both were suspended. He was placed on probation for a five year period, and he was assessed like court costs. Other action in Friday’s court included Larry Wayne Fincham of Front Royal who entered a plea of guilty to grand larceny and statutory burglary. These charges were made following the theft of an $1100 lawn tractor from a home near Sperryville in the spring. He was given four years on each count to run concurrently and the court suspended four years. Fincham was assessed costs of $560. Larry Dale Devers of Front Royal, involved in the same acts as Fincham had been rearraigned and entered a plea of guilty. He was placed on probation and a final determination of the situation is to be made November 12.

Accidents are reported A SERIES^ of traffic incidents occurred within the last week, with injuries and property damage reported to be minor. Mary Ann Weakley of Etlan, operating a 71 Toyota, turned over on Route 707 July 21. According to Trooper W. A. Buntin, she said she swerved to avoid striking a dog, skidded on wet pavement and overturned. The incident ocdurred four miles west of Slate Mills about 7:30 p.m. No injury resulted, no charges were made and damage was estimated1 at a thousand dollars. AT 11:30 p.m. the same evening, two miles west of Sperryville on Route 211, Nathanial Harrison of Richmond was involved in a single vehicle crash. He was driving a 65 Plymouth when it skidded on wet pavement on a curve and jumped the guard rail on the left of the highway. Damage was set at $300 by Trooper Buntin. Damage was estimated at $250 each to a couple of vehicles involved in a collision on Route 211 at Elmer’s 66 in Sperryville. Holcomb Campbell of Charlottesville was^making a left turn into Elmer Atkin’s service station when he was struck in the left side by Lionel Hawkesworth of Bethesda, Md. CAMPBELL was driving a 73 Plymouth andHawkesworth was in a 68 Mercury. Campbell slowed for the turn and Hawkesworth was unable to stop so he attempted to get around the other vehicle and struck it in the left side. Trooper S. W. Weatherholtz investigated a two vehicle collision, Thursday, on Route 522 atHuntly to find William Edward Baker of Flint Hill and Charles William Smoot of Washington involved.

Warren Fair set The 1973 Warren County Agricultural and Industrial Fair, sponsored by the Warren County Jaycees, will be held this year August 13 through 18, according to co-chairmen Lynn Armentrout and John Smedley. The fair will emphasize activities for the entire family and will eliminate events that might be offensive to some people. Shows on the midway will be screened so all will be suitable for family entertainment. The chairmen said it is hoped that family patronage will be justification for future fairs to continue this policy. Special events of the 1973 fair will include the usual beauty pageant and a fashion show will be added in conjunction with it. Other features will be Teenie Chenault, The Country Rockers, Bobby Newton and the Triads and Donna Meade. This top talent is presented without additional charge. It is included in the price of admission. No major changes are planned for the fair grounds located on Route 522 north of Front Royal. However, patrons will find walkways and roads from the back parking lot much imporved. “We are trying to make this year’s fair attractive to the family and hope they will find it the type of event they want for the community,” said Mr. Smedley. □ CAMPFIRE BARBECUE BISCUITS 12 biscuits 2 cups enriched selfrising flour* 1/4 cup shortening 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese 1/2 to 3/4 cup milk 2 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce Cut shortening into flour until mixture resembles coarse crumbs; stir in cheese.

Report given on ''Super Flea Market ’ THE GENEROSITY, cooperation and hard work on the part of over 200 Friends of Rappahannock County Library resulted in the gross proceeds of $3896.56 from the Fourth of July Super Flea Market. Two months of concentrated effort of the many individuals and groups involved paid off, and according to a spokesman for the Library Board “Sincere thanks are expressed to the county for its enthusiastic participation which is making the survival of the library possible.” The entertainment program, organized and produced by Mrs. Mollie Van Brederode, was a lively patriotic holiday celebration. Among the local talent included was Sperryville Boy Scout Troop # 65 directed by assistant Scoutmaster Sam Aylor, which presented the colors. Scouts in full uniform were Tom and Tim Metzinger, Thomas Banks, Nils Aylor, Fouk Yong and Bill Houston, Jr. David Clanaghan and Greg Foster presented musical numbers entitled “The 50’s,” while John Paul Dodson and Ed Foster, who were coached by Mrs. Charlotte Nichols, sang “The Erie Canal.” A dance, “East Side, West Side,” executed by Pat Plotnick up and down the library steps, was coached by the professional Mrs. Helen Pawley, of Rock Mills. THE SOUTH was represented by an “American Trilogy” sung by David Clanaghan and a reading composed by Mrs. Roberta Spalding entitled “Jack Jouett’s Ride,” and presented by Mrs. Eva Smith. The Can Can girls danced their interpretation of a gay, bawdy middle west. Their ingenious costumes and Mrs. Lilo Foster’s coaching brought out a la tent side to the character of the very young entertainers, Johanna Day, Bridgett and Wendy Brown, Cil Davis and Jo Ann Wharton. THE FAR WEST song, “Red River Valley” was done by David Clanaghan and a hula dance by Johanna Day and Bridgett Brown brought Hawaii to mind and concluded “The Fifty.” Gordon Thornhill lead everyone in singing “God Bless America’* to conclude the Independence Day program. □ Consumption of fuel up Commissioner Vern L. Hill of the Virginia Division of Motor Vehicles said today that consumption of automotive and aviation fuel rose to over one billion gallons in the first five months of 1973. The 1.187.407,526 figure marks a 7% increase over the similar period in 1972. In May alone, over 258 million gallons of these fuels were consumed in Vir ginia—also up 7% over a year ago. These gallonage figures, compiled as part of DMV’s fuel tax collection data, help put in perspective the recent threat of gasoline shortages faced by motoring Virginians. The fuel usage data comes as part of DMV’s year-end report, in which the State agency will post an increase in gross reve nues to a record $372, 392,890 for the year ending June 30. The figure is a 21.8% increase in revenue collections over 1972. □ END OF THE MONTH SALE Special low-low reductions on all Appliances Extra special reductions on Floor Samples Westinghouse “Frost-Free 14” Refrigerator-Freezer with Optional Automatic Ice-Maker RT144M $311.25 • 14.0 cu. ft. capacity — only 30' wide * Big 131-lb. capacity freezer • Completely FrostFree • Optional Automatic Ice-Maker freezes and stores all the ice you'll need • GlideOut Adjustable Rollers • 7day Fresh Meat Keeper • Separate controls for refrigerator and freezer • Two 2-position shelves * Deep door shelves • Large Vegetable Crisper • New High Performance Filter Cool System • Butter Server • Egg storage in door • Grounded for your safety • 26%* deep, 649/ie' high ■346 Westinghouse “Frost-Free 17” Refrigerator-Freezer with Optional Automatic Ice-Maker • 17.2 cu. ft. capacity — only 30* wide • Big 163-lb. capacity freezer • Completely FrostFree * Optional Automatic Ice-Maker freezes and stores all the ice you'll need • GlideOut Adjustable Rollers • Slimwall design • Heavy-duty cantilevered adjustable shelves • 7-day Fresh Meat Keeper converts to moist-cold extra crisper • Separate contrdls for refrigerator and freezer • Ice Tray Compartment keeps two quick-release trays separate from frozen foods • Deep door shelves * Large Vegetable Crisper • New High Performance Filter Cool System • Butter and Cheese Servers • Removable Egg Server • Grounded for your safety • 27V4" deep, 64»/ie* high p)V 3G370P 5158.50 *206 Model LA370P VH.

Last Thursday was visiting day for parents of the summer school students. At this time patrons were given a resume of the activities directed toward orienting youngsters for the fall opening of school. Total enrollment of the summer school was 78 students. This is 97% of those who were eligible to attend. Remedial reading for 16 or next session’s third graders was provided. The program for the first graders included diagnostic activities and tests, library orientation, introduction to media and resource materials and other learning aids, dental and health services, cafeteria use, articulation and audiometric tests and community resources. Included in the communitv resources was a visit by a local fire company giving the children an opportunity to inspect the fire engine. A State Policeman, R.A. Baines, visited the children who were allowed to see operation of the mobile unit provided him. A Fire Warden explained his duties and equipment used in fire control. “Snack time” each day provided first-hand experience in the cafeteria and a break from the program activities, and parents visiting day allowed parents to see children at work and play. On that day Superintendent O.A. Norton and some School Board members joined the approximately 65 patrons. Sunset vespers Dr. Wayne F.
