SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Be careful THE OPENING OF SCHOOLS this month increases the need for alert driving. “Motorists, especially those driving through school zones or near bus stops, may need a reminder to watch for students going to and from school. Students naturally tend to congregate in these areas, increasing the need for cautious driving,” ac- * cording to John T. Hanna, director, Highway Safety Division of Virginia. “Be particularly careful when approaching intersections. They are a dangerous area because of the heavy volume of traffic and pedestrians which meet there,” he said. “Don’tforget, when approaching a stopper! school bus, even from right angles, you must stop.” Hanna says a national survey showed that 24 per cent of all fatal accidents occur at intersections. “To help reduce this figure, slow down and look, especially for children, before entering an intersection. “Be prepared for a quick stop. An impatient child might try to cross the street quickly by darting in front of traffic.” □ Book data is released THERE WILL be no sale of textbooks at Rappahannock County Elementary School before schbol opens this session.

Robin said, “There.” Then I saw the dark line of clear water against the silty, yellow Rappahannock, where the two rivers converged in a half mile rapids. We had paddled hard, self-consciously, for two hours, watching for the confluence, hoping for clear fishing . water. The noise of the rapids should have been warning. What we heard as we paddied down among boutdprs and little grassy islands was not a smooth riffle or a sudsy ledge. But since we had just jumped at the sight of the imaginary Rapidan — even seeing clear water, fooled by the shadows of the trees, only to realize, to remember, that upstream the Rappahannock had divided around an island—we were lulled into anticipating what sounded like good white water. But there was the Rapidan, mixing with the yellow water. The river almost looked like a trout stream and we powered down and across the broken water and swung the canoe around in the eddy at the point of land where the rivers met. Robin Church of Richmond and I had put in at Kelly’s Ford below Remington on a Friday morning. That Wednesday I had checked Randy .Carter’s marker at .the "Remington bridge. The river read one foot and it was green, ROBIN HAD driven over to the riven Thursday, sur prised to see a muddy Rappahannock. He drove to Waterloo, and there the Rappahannock flowed green. Impulsively, we put See Page 10 v' -ra Running mild white water on the upper Rappahannock.

Farm accident statistics released THE NATIONAL Farm Safety Council estimates 2,200 persons were killed in work accidents in agriculture in 1972. Where do most farm accidents occur? A study in eight states revealed 20 per cent of injuries on their farms were in barns or other buildings. Animals caused one in every ten accidents, said J. L. Calhoun, professor of agricultural engineering and Extionsion specialist at Virginia Tech. Cows were involved in two-thirds of the accidents in buildings. Power and hand tools accounted for 12 per cent of the accidents, and eye injuries occurred in 3 1/2 per cent of these accidents. Farm machinery was involved in 21 per cent of all injuries; with tractors, wagons, augers and elevators being the main causes of accidents. Falls caused nearly 1/3 of all the injuries in the eight reporting states. WHAT ABOUT the farm accident situation here in Virginia? A review of the 13,742 accidental deaths in Virginia during the period 1968-72 revealed that 244 persons died as a result of accidents on farms.

In fact, fractors and other farm machinery were involved in one-half of the accidental deaths on our farms during the five year period, said Calhoun. Drowning was the second major cause of accidental deaths on Virginia farms, accounting for almost 20 per cent of the total. Falls caused 10 per cent of the accidental deaths and 5 per cent were the result of gunshots. Other maia causes of accidental deaths on Virginia farms were animals, being struck by an object, lightning, burns, and electrocution. □ w 4 Gut this Horn & Pony Height-Weight Tape FREE with Southern States Horse Feeds Weigh and measure your horse the easy way with this handy tape.

Williamson, Y.P.I. Beef Cattle Marketing Specialist, reports there is a tremendous amount of speculation, rumors and some activity in the feeder cattle market at present. We are both particularly concerned about some of our cattle producers selling or contracting their cattle without full knowledge of what the market is. Prices are erratic with wide variations quoted but mostly all kinds of cattle have been moving higher. Following are quotations of feeder calves and yearlings sold through Midwestern terminal markets on August 8 and 9. Prices are based on weights. “CHOICE FEEDER STEERS Weight 300-400 lbs^ 400-500 lbs. 500-600 lbs. 600-700 lbs. ' 700-850 lbs.

If you are interested in knocking a couple of months off of your winter feeding time, there is no time like the present to get started. September is a good month for seeding fescue. The nights are cool and if there is sufficient moisture the seedlings will be well rooted by winter time. Other advantages to fall seeding are: there is far less competition from annual grasses such as Foxtail and crabgrass. Most competitive broadleaf weeds are killed by the first heavy frost. If it’s a good season all the way through, fescue seeded this fall will be ready to stockpile by next. If you follow all management steps correctly, you should not have to start feeding until after hunting season is over. Seems to me that Chicken Welch, Charles Foster and most of the Flint Hill hunters would fit right in with this program. _ home of Mrs. Sadie Withers. Mrs. W.L.

Some leftover seeds may be used next year This is another in a series on home horticulture by Wesley P. Judkins, Virginia Tech Extension horticulturist. ARE THE seeds worth saving which you had left over after planting your garden this year? Most packets now cost 25 cents or more, compared to a dime only a few years ago. So, it would reduce your expense next spring if you could plant the seeds which you did not use this year. Although vegetable and flower seeds gradually lose their viability, most types may be kept for several years, and still germinate and produce satisfactory crops. This practice may result in considerable savings for the home gardener. After your last planting has been made this summer, place your seeds in a tin, glass, or plastic container which is air tight, and store over winter in your refrigerator or deep freeze. This method of storage will allow very slow loss of viability. If you have no space available in a refrigerated storage, place your seeds in a tight can or jar, in the dark, in a cool basement. Seeds may lose viability quite rapidly in the warm temperatures of the average home. IN GENERAL, garden seeds may be divided into three groups, in terms of their longevity, when stored under cool basement conditions. Short life span seeds should give satisfactory germination for one or two years. Medium life span seeds usually will remain viable fpr three or four years. Long life seeds should grow after storage of five to six years, and sometimes longer. Accurate information on the longevity of flower se Castleton Homemakers ^THE Castleton Extension Homemakers met August 8 at the home of Mrs. Susan Henry. Mrs. Henry presided over the business meeting and presented a program on “Sewing Shortcuts.” The next meeting will be September 12 at the home of Mrs. Diane Heffern.

Based on limited observations, the following should be considered as short life span seeds: astor, candytuft, cleome, columbine, honesty, kochia, phlox, salvia, strawflower, and vinca. Some of the more common flowers with long life seeds are alyssum, calendula, centaurea, coreopis, cosmos, marigold, nasturtium, nigella, petunia, salpiglosis, scabiosa, schizanthus, sweet pea, verbena, viola and zinnia. Most vegetable seeds have rather long life, but there are a few important exceptions. For example, corn, leek, onion and parsnip seeds have short life spans. Those with medium longevity include beans, beet, carrot, Swiss chard, mustard, pepper, pumpkin and tomato. The seeds of other commonly grown vegetables will usually grow quite well even when five or more years old. YOU MAY test the germination of your seeds by placing a definite number on moist blotter paper in a dish or pan covered with plastic or glass to maintain a high humidity. Place your seed containers in a warm location and count those which germinate in 10 to 14 days. From these figures you can easily determine the percentage germination, and adjust the thickness of planting accordingly. Plant your old seeds more thickly than you do fresh ones. If the seeds are at or beyond the above suggested ages, plant them about twice as thick as usual. Scatter them in a band in the row rather than in a narrow dense line. □ Several hurt in accidents Two men were injured in - a single vehicle crash near Massies Corner on Route 211 about 1:45 a.m. Saturday morning.

Si Sez “ MAN, GOD HAS TOLD YOU what He wants, and this is it: be fair and just, love mercy, and walk humbly WITH your God.” Micah 6:8. Some versions are quite different, but this is the gist of it and in simplified form. Let us look at the phrase Walk Humbly. When I see someone going down the pike in a big gas hog going so fast he is utilizing about half the power potential in a natural resource. I wonder. In the first place he is not walking, and where is the humility of owning the biggest car on the market. Oh yes, there goed Mr. Big in his fancy car. Micah was warning the people of his day of their pride. He was a prophet of God. We have people today warning us. They are called geologists. I think it is wise to listen to those 'in the know' and to Walk humbly before (or with) God. i_ Home Improvements.

L_ Rappahannock River From Page 2 on the river, hoping that it would clear, that fish would feed. The depression of paddling over muddied fishing water, over the famous wilderness stretch of the Rappahannock from Kelly’s Ford to Mott’s Landing above Fredericksburg, set in. I could not enjoy slipping along the shaded, wooded banks, because I knew that the river was supposed to be green. The stretches of riffles, when the water was clear, would look like a western trout stream and a bucktail streamer played broadside in the current would bring a hard hit from a smallmouth bass. Other canoe paddlers would have despised us. But fly fishing is even more enjoyable than river crusing. WE LOAFED Friday, climbed up a steep bank to eat lunch in a hot corn field. Once we heard a tractor making hay, and twice we saw farms briefly. We camped on a sand spit that evening when we saw a cabin and a sign that read: “River Miles. Rapidan, 7 miles. Motts Landing, 15 miles. Fredericksburg, 21 miles.” The man who owned the cabin arrived to spend the weekend while we were cooking dehydrated “Beef Almadine.” He waved, then turned on a generator or a lawn mower. That night what sounded like a raccoon ran across the overturned aluminum canoe. Saturday morning was much better. Packing a canoe after getting into the routine of river cruising, then pushing off for the confluence seven miles down river, was exciting. We pushed purposefully along. The mist burned off and the morning was hot. BUT IMAGINE swinging a canoe around at the sight of clear broken water half a milfe up the Rapidan and to find the point a sandy campsite, shaded, so that a tent could be pitched to See Page 15 Robin Church of Richmond lands a nice smallmouth bass at the confluence of the Rapidan and Rappahannock Rivers. . j^AeMnal tribute CLORE FUNERAL HOME “The Home of Thoughtful Service' CEMETERY MEMORIALS PIORft 825-13(1 CbIPttER msmsm

Available farm acerage is increased VIRGINIA’S potential for crop production will be increased by at least 85,700 acres next year over the available farm land this year, reports Mahlon K. Rudy, State Executive Director of the Virginia Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS). This total was calculated following official notice to loca) ASCS offices that there will be ho set-aside of land in 1974 for feed grain, wheat or cotton, that maintenance of an established conserving base will not be required, and longterm land reserve agreements may be ended at the option of producers. “It’s not likely that all this potential added acreage will go into crops,” the ASCS official said. “But it is very likely that most of it will be used for production of either crops or livestock.” Having more land available for production should be good news for the farmers, grocery shoppers, and the nation as a whole. Rudy said. Both domestic and export market demand is expected to continue strong. SECRETARY of Agricul ture Earl L. Buty recently said, “If we have a feed grain harvest this fall of the size now anticipated, and if we have an adequate crop in 1974, we will avoid export controls on grains. “We expect to lift all export controls when the crops become available. Agricultural exports area prime source of foreign exchange with which to buy our national energy supplies and other critical needs. “Controls on exports of U.S. farm products, which are vital to the world, dis CHESTER GAP NEWS By BESSIE M.

USDA Issue new animal shipping rules THE U.S. Department of \gricttUure (USDA) will low permit animals from foreign countries to be shipped through the United States to a third country when it has been determined that the movement can be made without endangering the U.S. livestock industry. Dr. M.J. Tillery, southeastern regional director of veterinary services for USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), said this action is a cooperative step in furthering the international movement of livestock while safeguarding theU.S. livestock industry from foreign animal diseases. He noted that more and more livestock is being moved internationally by air, necessitating stops for, refueling. * Previously, no stopovers were permitted within the United States except in cases of emergency. Dr. Tillery pointed out, however, that still embargoed will be crosscountry movement of certain animals from countries infected with foot-and-mouth disease, rinderpest and other * exotic diseases not presently found in the United States. HE EXPLAINED that before trans-shipments will be allowed, a permit must be obtained in advance for each shipment; animals must be healthy and must not have been exposed to any communicable disease within 60 days preceding their arrival in the United States. Also, the carrier must furnish a declaration to customs officials that the animals will remain aboard the plane, boat or truck, or in an APHIS-approved holding facility pending transhipment; and APHIS inspectors must monitor such movements to assure that all conditions have been met. □ SCM«tt’S CABINET BOOKCASE OPEN BOOKCASE DESK BAR UNIT $79 $69 $109 74"Hx 12"Dx27"W 74"Hxir Dx27"W 74"Hx 1?’Dx27"W Spanish Style Roll Top Desk SAVE $40 sftsr sals $130.95 Features 3 drawers, plus interior pigeonhole dividers.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC Notice was earlier given to the public that Virginia Electric and Power Company and Potomac Edison Company of Virginia had applied to the State Corporation Commission for authority to construct certain electric transmission lines and related facilities. The transmission lines and facilities proposed are: (1) a 115 KV transmission line located in Fauquier County originating at a proposed substation at Remington, Virginia; (2) a 500 KV transmission line located in Fauquier County originating at a proposed substation at Morrisville, Virginia, and extending northeastwardly to Bristers Junction, Virginia; (3) a 230 KV line located in Fauquier County originating at the proposed substation at Morrisville, Virginia, and extending northwestwardly to the proposed substation at Remington, Virginia; (4) a 500 KV line originating at Virginia Electric and Power Company’s generating facilities on the North Anna River in Louisa County ^ and extending northwardly through the counties of Spotsylvania, Orange, Culpeper, to the proposed substation at Morrisville in Fauquier County; (5) a 500 KV line originating at the proposed substation at Morrisville in Fauquier County and extending northwestwardly through the counties of Culpeper, Rappahannock, Warren, and Frederick to the Virginia-West Virginia state * line. Public hearings upon the applications have been held in Fauquier County and Rappahannock County and in the Commission’s Courtroom in Richmond, Virginia. The hearing has been continued to October 4, 1973, to allow additional time for the Commission’s Staff to further investigate the proposed routes and to investigate for alternate locations which might have a lesser adverse impact upon the environment and to determine the feasibility of using existing right of ways for the location oftrfnsmission lines found to be needed. In its investigation of the 500 KV transmission line proposed to extend from Morrisville to Bristers Junction, theCommission Staff will investigate for al ternate routes within Fauquier County. In its investigation of the 500 KV transmission line proposed to extend from Virginia Electric and Power Company’s generating facilities in Louisa County to Morrisville in Fauquier County, the Commission Staff will investigate for alternate routes in the counties of Louisa, Spotsylvania, Orange, Culpeper, Stafford, and Fauquier. In its investigation of the 500 KV transmission line proposed to extend from Morrisville in Fauquier County to the Virginia - West Virginia line, the Commission Staff will investigate for alternate routes in the counties of Frederick, Clarke, Loudoun, Shenandoah, Warren, Fauquier, Prince William, Rappahannock, Culpeper, Madison, Page, and Rockingham. In the investigation of a route for the MorrisvilleWest Virginia transmission line the Commission Staff will investigate the reasonableness of locating the proposed line parallel to an existing 500 KV transmission line which passes east to west through the counties of Loudoun, Clarke, and Frederick and parallel to an existing 500 KV transmission line which extends north from Bristers Junction in Fauquier County and passes northwardly through the counties of Prince William and Loudoun. The Commission Man will me the results of its investigation of the routes proposed by the Companies, and of tfhy alternates which it may propose, on or before October 1, 1973. Anyone wishing to review the applicants’ proposals and the results of the study of the Commission Staff may do so by visiting any business office of the Virginia Electric and Power Company or Potomac Edison Company of Virginia where bills may be paid with the counties named above as being under investigation, or may visit the office of the State Corporation Commission. The proposals of the Electric Companies are presently so filed. The proposals of the Commission Staff will be so filed on or before October 1, 1973. The purpose of the hearing beginning on October 4, 1973, will be to receive all evidence pertaining to the need of the proposed facilities and to receive all evidence regarding the routes proposed by the Electric Companies and to receive all evidence regarding the reasonableness of using any alternate routes or existing transmission routes within the counties indicated. Any interested party desiring to intervene in the October 4, 1973 hearing for the purpose of presenting evidence should advise the Commission by September 15, 1973, by letter to William C. Young, Clerk of the Commission, Blanton Building, P. 0. Box 1197, Richmond, Virginia 23209 with a copy of such notice to counsel to the applicants, Evans B. Brasfield, Attorney, 700 E. Main Street, P. 0. Box 1535, Richmond, Virginia 23212. If the interested party desires copies of the applicants’ proposals or that of the Commission Staff then they should so indicate in their notice and it will be supplied. Any intervenor retaining consultants or experts for the purpose of investigating the need for the proposed facilities and proposed location of such facilities should file with the Commission on or before September 20, 1973, ten (10) copies of the direct testimony and exhibits of such consultants or experts and send a copy thereof to counsel to the Companies and to such other intervenors who may so request. If as a result of the evidence taken in the October 4, 1973 hearing the Commission finds a need for the facilities and finds that the evidence introduced gives sufficient cause for the Commission to consider any of the proposed alternate routes then the Commission will require public notice of those additional alternate routes that it will consider. On a day certain any parties affected by the alternates under consideration will be given an opportunity to appear in a public hearing and state their objection, if any, to the use of such alternates. Parties, who may have an interest in the need for, and location of the proposed facilities, are encouraged to follow the course of this investigation. c-23 STATE CORPORATION COMMISSION Weekend guests of Mr. and Mrs. William Stout at their home on Mt.

Rusty and Curt Settle with Roger Breeden and Douglas Tolson eagerly awaited the opening last night of the Amissville Firemen’s annual benefit carnival for a ride on the midway. Intermittent showers dampened the grounds but not the spirits during the Wednesday night opening of the carnival. / *' Grassy islands, chutes, pocket water and lovely pools and glides, all smallmouth bass water, are typical of the wilderness when the Rappahannock leaves Kelly’s Ford below Remington to wind 30 miles down to Motts Landing above Fredericksburg.

Williams III of Charlottesville, he incorrectly stated that E.M. (Ned) Jones of Washington was Chairman of the Rappahannock County Democratic Committee. Mr. Jones resigned that position some time ago and the chairmanship was assumed by Carson B. Johnson of Sperryville who has been a tenacious member always of the Democratic Party, River From Page 10 view the big rapids down river with both rivers flowing just beyond the tent pegs. Robin and I left unpacking for midday. It was 10 o’clock in the morning and we had seen a scrappy smallmouth jump clear of the water at a Dobson fly. 1 had three fish before Robin could get his equipment together. He asked me in a strained voice what I was using. I told him the fish liked a small white popping bug, so he tied on a Helgramite nymph pattern and proceeded to outfish me. I waded straight across and Robin waded up the right bank. In an hour we had caught and released better than 30 bream and smallmouth. WE CAMPED at the confluence Saturday and half a day Sunday. The fishing water was so good—pocketwater, pools and glides, that we never fished more than 300 yards down or up from camp. All the while, we heard the rapids, so that Sunday’s paddle on the big, flat water of the lower Rappahannock seemed unnatural. From our campsite we watched a few canoeists come by, and listened to them hit rocks all down through the rapids, even after it was boring to watch their progress. Saturday, a strange character stood out on a rock upstream on the Rapidan, nude, and surveyed the river. First I thought Robin had lost his modesty. Then I saw his flyrod working line. The man disappeared and re-appeared, always on his -rock, so that when I saw a fisherman or two couples in canoes, I imagined. But the nudist continued to reappear all through the evening’s fishing, like a scene out of “Deliverance.” OTHER than tnai, 1 saw one snake, one beaver, no deer, and one group of baby ducks. It was the flyfishing for smallmouth that made the trip, and the sight and sound of the river’s rapids, now that each pool contained its fishing mystery. The trip to Mott’s landing took two and a half hours of hard paddling. Here . the Rappahannock looks like a river of Civil War memories: big, wooded bluffs, strategic fords. To hate the Army Corps of Engineers in a detached sort of way for spoiling natural rivers becomes habitual. But I had never paddled these long 30 miles. If I had been fishing the riffles and islands intimately, the trip would have required four to five days. This is too much river, all of it woodlinedand completely unspoiled, just to cut off. □ HILLSDALE DRIVE-IN Rt 211 EMassies Corner Fri., Sat., Sun.
