IUCHU'JND 19, VA. : 32.19 Volume XXIV, Number 44 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA • THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 6,1973 TEN CENTS Zoning, subdivision hearing Most in large turnout indicate support NUMEROUS questions and quite a few complaints kept last Thursday night’s hearing on proposed new zoning and subdivision ordinances for Rappahannock County going for two and a half hours, but when a show of hands was asked of the standing room only audience near the end, practically everyone expressed support “for zoning in the end, practically everyone expressed support “for zoning in the county.” Many of the questions and statements from the audience reflected a familiar concern of rural landowners when confronted with zoning and subdivision controls—of whether this would interfere with their right to give portions of their holdings to their children. But spme of the sharpest criticism was leveled against the scarcity of copies of the proposed ordinances for public study. Very few copies were prepared, and members of the public were confined to studying copies at the Clerk of Court’s office. Supervisor Pete Luke said it had cost him better than $18 a copy to have copies reproduced. iiuwevei —dd nuicu — when Herberts. Barksdale, chairman of the planning commission, asked for a show of hands in response to the question “how many are in favor of zoning ordinance in Rappahannock?” it appeared that practically everyone raised a hand. In addition to Barksdale, planning commission members present at the hearing at the Rappahannock courthouse were Louis Mobre, £r., Alan Stokes, David Fannon, Newbill Miller, Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis and Fanning Baumgardner, who .acted as a consultant to the commission in drawing up the proposed ordinances. GEORGE DAVIS led off the proceedings with an introductory talk. “Many people in the county are opposed to zoning, ’ ’ he conceded. * ‘Many are in favor of very strict zoning; others want a mild form of it. “In 1962, tiie Supervisors adopted a Subdivision Ordinance and there was a great deal of public reaction, most of which was adverse. People said it was against poor people; that it would mean you can’t deed land to your children; that the big farmers wanted to keep everything the way it was. I heard it then and I hear it now. "But that Zoning Urcunarice did not ruin Rappahannock County. Look at Culpeper, Warren and Page Counties, and you’ll see what happened to them because they didn’t havegood ordinances -*■ e s p e c i a 11 y Warren County.” Davis told of visiting an advertised development in Warren on the Shenandoah River. He and Mrs. Davis went "one Sunday afternoon and saw lots close to the river, on a steep incline, with a cliff back of the houses. The lots were in the flood plain. After I smelled around I found the sewer system—a hole in the ground with rocks in it and a lid on it.” That visit, George Davis said, "convinced me that we were fortunate in having land use controls in Rappahannock County; we’re very fortunate.” Now, Rappahannock has “lived and worked with a subdivision ordinance for seven years,” and the county is still unspoiled, Davis went on, pointing to more bad examples to the north: Arlington, Fairfax, Prince William. “All three of those counties were “too late with zoning and subdivision controls,” he said, going on to relate more horror stories of development-including a $5 million bond to build a sewer system for a “trailer subdivision,” a rate of growth that created a demand for “25 new schoolrooms a month, “statistical studies that show new houses cost a county $17,000 a year in capital and service costs, “over and above the tax return to the county.” Warned George Davis: See Page-.t Fanning Baumgardner (left) an advisor to the Rappahannock planning commission, explained some basic points of proposed amendments to the county’s zoning and subdivision ordinances at a hearing last Thursday night. At right is Supervisor Chairman Newbill Miller, and Clerk of Court E. M. Jones is at the rear. Horse an accident victim TWO VEHICLES collided on Route 622 west of Washington on September 2. Involved were James Arthur Freeman of Washington and Falls Church in a 69 Dodge and Roger Dale Younger of Falls Church driving a 65 Plymouth. According to Trooper R. A. Baines, Younger was cited for failing to drive to the right of the road and for defective tires. Damage to the Dodge was estimated at $900 and at $250 to the Plymouth.

The horse was so badly injured it was necessary to destroy it, said Trooper Baines. At Flatwood Inn the following day Lillian Dade of Madison in a 65 Chrysler backed into a 70 Plymouth owned by Haywood Turner of Washington, Va. Damage to the Turner car was set at $75. □ Carnival concluded AMISSVILLE firemen concluded their benefit carnival Saturday night after a postponement because of rain from two weeks previously. The event was climaxed with the awarding of the grand prize, a 73 Pinto, which 'Vvent to W. Herman Kephart of Herndon. Ernest Fincham of Flint Hill received the portable television which was given away, and the next four prizes, all $25 Savings Bonds, were given Mrs. Victoria Corder of Amissville. Mrs. Thelma Sea lock of Front Royal, Shirley Brown, Sperryville and Don Lichty of Warrenton. Many other prizes were also given away and these included a minibike which went to Harvey Tharp of Culpeper. The afghan, handmade by Miss Garland Riley, was won by Miss Berniece Kennedy of Warrenton. Mrs. James Heflin of Amissville and Mrs. Shirley Pullen of Warrenton each received a chair, both of which were donated by Keller Manufacturing Co. in Culpeper. □

LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Policy questions AN INTERESTING QUESTION came up at last week’s zoning and subdivision ordinance hearing, and the answers were equally interesting, if inconclusive. The question raised, indeed, is one that continues to be basic to the American governmental experience, and even part of the difficulties in Washington, D.C., right now have something to do with it. Complaints were raised that not enough copies of the proposed ordinances had been made available for public study, and perhaps these complaints were justified. But Newbill Miller, in his dual capacity as planning commission member and as a Supervisor, gave a good reply. Even if the copies had been available, he said, it is doubtful if public understanding of the many legal and technical points involved would have been any greater. In such a case, he argued, it is policy that public officials and members of the public must agree on. Once broad policy is hammered out, then the legal and technical details are best left to the lawyers and the engineers. It’s a complicated question. Is ours more a republic, a representative form of government, or is it more a democracy, with a greater degree of public participation? Should we elect good men and women to office, and then leave them alone to do the public’s job, only exercising our approval or disapproval at election time? Or should we descend on every public meeting, every committee session, every gathering in the public’s interest, and breathe down these officials’ necks, watching their every move like a hawk, and turning every administrative decision into an occasion of debate and argument? The correct answer probably lies somewhere in between*, exactly where will probably remain an issue with Americans as long as this country continues its quest for more perfect balance between individual liberty and community well-being.□ RLEP meet THE RAPPAHANNOCK League for Environmental Protection will hold its next meeting on September 14, at 8 p.m. in the Court House, Washington, Va. Phil Irwin, President of RLEP said, “1 would like for everyone, members and non-members, to attend this meeting. Because of the recent discussion on the Zoning and Sub-Division Ordinance in Rappahannock,” Irwin said, “the RLEP program which will focus on land use planning should be of interest to all citizens.” The program will include several speakers— George H. Davis, Jr., Commonwealth’s Attorney, will speak on Land Use Planning at the county level. W. P. Dinsmore White, Executive Director, Piedmont Environmental Council, will speak on Regional Land Use Planning, and Bob Dennis, President, Conservation Council of Virginia, will discuss National Land Use Planning. A business meeting will follow the general public meeting. □ The barn on Bunree F^rm at Amissville, owned by Mr. and Mrs. D. G. Laing was pictured last week. Mrs. Alice Lawrence of Amissville correctly identified it and will receive a free subscription to the Rappahannock News. Others correctly identifying the barn were Afltejr H. Sisk, Helen Magee and Nannie P. Weaver. Letters to the Editor Democrat is unmoved Editor: Some confusion between Mr. John W. (Billy) Williams and me has recently arisen from the many newspaper reports about his appointing local chairmen of “Democrats for Godwin.” A number of Democratic readers have seen “Williams” in the headlines and have asked if it is the same Williams whom they supported in 1970 and 1972. It is not. As the 7th District Chairman, Mr. Billy Williams loyally supported me in both elections. For that I am grateful, but in 1973 he and I go separate ways. It must be hard for such a loyal and lifelong Democrat as Mr. Billy Williams to support a Republican nominee for Governor (even an ex-Democrat), but is much too hard for me even to think of doing so. I shall vote instead for Henry Howell, who looks and sounds like a real Democrat. His opponent, Mr. Godwin, is not only carrying the Republican banner, but also is actively working against our Democratic candidates for Lieutenant Governor and AttorneyGeneral. While many voters have no commitment or obligation to either Party, a person who has had his Party’s nomination for national office, as I have, is in a different position. I would be disloyal to Democrats who worked for me in 1970 and 1972 if I now supported a Republican nominee for Governor. If such a Republican nominee is elected Governor, he will in 1974 probably support those Republican members of Congress who are now working for him. With the Governor’s help they may soli dify the Republican majority in Virginia’s Congressional delegation. For four decades I have watched “Democrats for Landon,” “Democrats for Wilkie,” “Democrats for Dewey” (twice), "Democrats for Eisenhower” (twice), “Democrats for Nixon” (three times) and “Democrats for Goldwater.” I am not moved by “Democrats for Godwin.” Sincerely yours, Murat W. Williams Madison Mills \ LIBRARY LINES Vida: His Own Story by Bill Libby and Vida Blue. Here is the story of a dream come true—“an inside look at the near rookie who became an overnight sensation and a legend in his time—a story that opens with a small boy on a neighbor’s field deep in the South, and moves to the big green diamond of the Oakland A’s. We see Vida grow up, and learn why he chose a career in baseball rather than pursuing his first love—football. We watch him in action, and see him game after game, soaking that precious left arm in ice water, and signing an endless stream of autographs with the right....The first Black whose picture ever appeared on the front page of the Mansfield, LA., hometown weekly, Vida Blue still introduces himself as Joe Namath to apyone who doesn’t know....This is the story of excitement, instant fame, and the inevitable pressures that follow.” t A Trail of Blood by Jeremy Potter. “Who killed the Plantagenet princes in the tower of London? Was it really their uncle Richard III? OR was it their brother-in-law Henry Tudor: can we even be sure that they were murdered at all? This historical novel tells how the truth was discovered by England’s earliest detective, Brother Thomas of Croyland Abbey, more than four hundred years ago....Convinced that, to preserve the Church, the ‘fat Tudor’ must go, Brother Thomas sets out—on a trail of blood— to find a Plantagenet heir. His desperate journey across England, followed by spies, courting arrest and death by torture, leads to tragedy, insurrection, a strange secret, and a despairing finale with but one consolation—he has solved the riddle of the Princes in the Tower.”

Rappahannock zoning r rom p*age l ”— “The same pressures are now hitting Rappahannock, and they’re increasing every day. It practically amounts to an emergency situation.” REFERRING to Rappahannock citizens’ complaints about county taxes, Davis said, “You don’t know what taxes are. Property that costs you $150 a year here would cost you $150 a month in Arlington and Fairfax. “This is a serious matter and a very urgent matter.” Davis continued: “We’ve got to be constructive about zoning. It’s very simple to criticize; however, being against just to be against is not the approach to take. “The reason I am very strongly for this is this: If you don’t, two to five years from now, you’ll be complaining about the type of taxes they now have in Arlington, Fairfax and Prince William. Your taxes will be two to three thousand dollars a year instead of a hundred and fifty. “And it’s not going to be me that’s going to raise the taxes, if we don’t have zoning and subdivision controls, and I’ll point my finger at those who opposed. They’ll be the ones who raised your taxes. “These ordinances are badly needed, and the con sequences if we don’t have them will be disastrous.” Applause greeted Davis’s remarks. BAUMGARDNER was next, and with the aid of a chart on an easel, he went through major provisions of both proposed ordinances, warning: ‘‘These ordinances are not just a bunch of regulations, but are intended to achieve the purpose of providing for the health, safety and welfare of the community, and of avoiding congestion and to protect property values.” Eight zones are provided in the zoning ordinanceagricultural, conservation, residential, residentialbusiness, business, residential-subdivision, industrial and flood plain. * The Conservation zone, explained Baumgardner, embraces land with more than a 14 per cent slope. Residential is for one-acre lots where there is public water and sewer; residential-business covers existing towns and villages. Various provisions of the zoning ordinance, he pointed out, cover such things as setback, building heights, parking, junkyards, waste disposal, issuance of building permits, special use permits, control of erosion, etc., etc. The ordinance contains sign controls, and regula tions for placement of trailer homes, whether in parks, temporary courts or in camper courts. BAUMGARDNER went through a detailed list of the provisions of the ordinances, flipping pages of his charts along the way. FOR THE purposes of definition, he explained, a subdivision is a division of land into two or more lots of less than 25 acres eachin an agricultural zone, and 50 acres in a conservation zone. The minimum lot size allowed in an agricultural zone would be five acres; the minimum size in a conservation zone would be 25 acres. If there were public water and sewer systems provided, subdivisions of one-acre lots would be allowed. For plats on subdivisions of five lots or less, a filing fee of $30 plus $2 per lot would be charged; for more, the fee would be $150 plus $5 per lot. Performance bonds would be required of subdividers, and subdividers would also be required to maintain the streets in their developments for one year after completition of the project. Regulations covering the layout of lots would be intended to prevent “gerrymandered” lots. Another provision would cover “premature subdivisions,” and give officials the right to consider “whether or not the county is prepared for a large subdivision...in the light roads, schools and improvements required.” The county zoning administrator would have the right to authorize subdivisions of five lots or less, all others would go through planning commission procedures, including public hearings. Baumgardner said there had been a question raised about the possibility of a “recreation district,” but he thought this could be handled later. “Ojther amendments might also be necessary for special situations,” he said. ALBERT SEALOCK of Chester Gap was the first to respond to an invitation for questions from the audience, and he phrased a concern that was to receive much discussion during the evening. He wants to give each of his boys an acre lot and Keep three acres for him TRUSTEES’ SALE OF VALUABLE REAL ESTATE Default having been made in the payment of the in debtedness secured by that certain deed of trust date* December 14, 1972, executed by Phillip P.

This wasn’t fair, he argued, because some of the neighboring lots were no more than a half an acre in size. George Davis said the land in that particular neighborhood had not been “divided by the county, but was partioned by suit in the Circuit Court.” That procedure took the matter out of the jurisdiction of the county’s existing subdivision ordinance, he said. Sealock was unconvinced: “What’ll I do with that third child? Knock him in the head?” Newbill Miller attempted an answer, elaborating on Davis’s point by noting that the 1962 subdivision ordinance did not require the Circuit Court to comply with the county’s ordinance. “I felt that it was a mistake for them to put in a substandard subdivision as a development. This new ordinance would prohibit such a situation arising in the first place.” Mrs. Lucio Kilby of Sperryville had a question, the first of many she asked during the course of the hearing; she also had a small tape recorder for preserving the proceedings. She wanted details about whether a property consisting of “hundreds of acres” could not be divided but one time. Not so, said Davis, it could See Page 11 Our reputation is built on understanding and integrity. Every wish of the family is taken into consideration.

Film made in Rappahannock A MOVIE filmed in Rappahannock County and intended to show a gentler, more solid view of American life, especially Southern American life, will have its “world premiere” September 14, 15 and 16 at the Sperryville Fire House.* “Go Day, Come Day, God Made Sunday” is the title of the film, taken from a black spiritual; citizens of Rappahannock are the “stars,” and the “location” is Rappahannock itself — with some related sidetrips by the color cameras to Culpeper and Washington, D.C. Sidney Platt of Alexandria is listed as “producer, director and editor” in the film’s credits, and the “executive producer” was Don Niklason of McLean, owner of the new Flint Hill Preparatory School. Platt is employed by the National Geographic Society, in that organization’s documentary television film section, but the Rappahannock film is a nonGeographic venture. THE IDEA for the film grew out of visits to friends in Rappahannock, and especially from a conversation with Chuck Perdue of Woodville. Perdue, who teaches a folklore course at the University of Virginia and who has done extensive research on Rappahannock’s black community, impressed upon Platt how “most people around the world, and even in this country, don’t have a good impression about Americans. Americans are felt to be violent, assassins, etc., and unfortunately, the blacks get a big share of the blame for this supposed violence of Americans. “But there is another side to Southern and black Americans that even some other Americans don’t know about. In fairness, we felt a need to show the true picture, of communities where the races do get along, especially in the South.’’ PLATT SAID Perdue particularly emphasized how Rappahannock’s black community life is centered around churces. “It is the center of their lives.” Much of the color film is consequently devoted to depictions of this churchoriented society. The sound track is rich with spiritual and gospel singing, the screen full of pastoral Rappahannock vistas and pictures of church services. Much footage is devoted to the Rev. U.S. Brokenburr, ranging from his Part of Sid Platt’s film and recording crew “on location” in the Hopewell Baptist Church at Sperryville.

Moody Aylor and his son Petey are shown working out a thoroughbred at the Middleburg Training Tract, and other scenes show Rappahannock residents on the job at the iron foundry in Culpeper. MUCH OF the sound track narration was provided by Deacon C.C. Lewis, and other portions of the film show the Rev. Carroll Baltimore, the late Uncle John Haney (sitting on his porch and playing an accordion), the Gospel Harmonizers from Hume, and many others. “We get joy out of the church,” says Deacon Lewis at one point, simply and eloquently. Platt said the film will be shown at 8 p.m. each night (the 14th, 15th and 16th) at the Sperry ville Fire Hall, and that an admission fee of $1 for adults and 50 cents for children under 12 will be charged. The total proceeds to be distributed among the Shiloh Baptist Church in Woodville, the Hopewell Baptist Church in Sperryville, and the Little Washington Community Center. Sidney Platt is a native of Ontario who is now a United States citizen; he is a veteran of the Korean War. He has been with the National Geographic documentary television division for the past ten years, and has worked on such projects as wildlife films, underwater films with Jacques Costeau and with noted African anthropologist African anthropologist Louis Leakey. OTHER films have been produced by Platt on his own, including “Lisa, Pay Attention,” an educational film for classroom teachers of children with speech impairments, and “Judging From Language,” showing problems of people who don’t speak normal, standard English. He was employed for awhile by North German Television, and as a freelance film maker spent some time in Mexico.□ i%V*%V«Vi"iV»V*ViV«V*V*V»V«V«V«VtV»V»VACl $)he ffitm/j tribute ► CLORE FUNERAL HOME The Home of Thoughtful Service CEMETERY MEMORIALS PHONt 825-1361 CULPEPER

Zoning, subdivision hearing '-s tL r rum rage * be divided into 25 acre lots if agricultural, 50 acre tracts if conservation. PAUL POLING of Amissville wanted “fire protection” clauses explained. Baumgardner said this merely referred to the number and placement of fire hydrants, and to making sure roads are adequate for access by fire-fighting equipment. Another man from Chester Gap had a question: “Could I buy one acre and build on it?” “Not unless it was recorded already,” was the answer from George Davis. “Otherwise, you’d have to have five acres!” The man from Chester Gap thought an acre was enough. ANOTHER man in the audience waxed indignant about water and sanitation requirements. “It almost seems as if you can’t even build a house unless its got four or five bathrooms. You don’t need all that to live!” Mrs. Alice Wood had questions about the 14 per cent slope, and she also thought 25 acres an awkward size for a residential plot. “You’d have to buy a tractor and machinery to keep it down,’’ she said. John Barber of the Panorama Realty Company— who came in for criticism later—had a question about road specifications. If the subdivision was for more than five lots, the developer would have to meet state requirements, he was told; if for a 25-acre lot a gravelled surface the equivalent of a one-way road would provide sufficient access. Lucio Kilby wanted to know how the various zones had been decided. NEWBILL MILLER explained that a major guide had been aerial maps with soil designation overlays that had been prepared ten years ago by the Soil Conservation Service. These maps also included slope percentages. Pete Luke added from the audience that of170,882 acres in the county, some 44 per cent is land of less than 14 per,cent slope and 56 per cent is greater. Of the 56 per cent that has a slope of greater than 14 “NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC” “Notice is hereby given to the public that Virginia Telephone and Telegraph Company on August 14, 1973, Hied with the State Corporation Commission new schedules of rates and charges, and rules and regulations. Virginia Telephone and Telegraph Company now serves customers formerly served by Lee Telephone Company which was acquired by merger on April 5, 1973. The effective date of the applicant’s proposed new schedules of rates and charges, arid rules and regulations has been suspended until January 1, 1974, unless otherwise, in the meantime, ordered. The proposed new schedules will result in increased charges for telephone service. Investigation of the proposed rates and charges, rules and regulations, has been entered upon by the State Corporation Commission and a hearing on the new schedules has been set for 10:00 a.m. on November 26, 1973, in the Courtroom of the Commission, Blanton Building, Richmond, Virginia, at which time and place members of the public generally may appear and present such relevant data as may be desired and be heard. The application and proposed new schedules may be seen at the office of the State Corporation Commission, Blanton Building, Richmond, Virginia 23209, and may be reviewed at any business office of the Company where bills may be paid. The applicant has been directed to file the testimony and exhibits of witnesses to be offered in support of its application by September 14, 1973. Any person may review the testimony and exhibits of the Company on or after September 14, 1973, at the office of the Commission or notify any business office of the Company and it will be made available for review. The Commission staff has been directed to file with the Commission testimony and exhibits showing the results of its investigation of the Company’s request for an increase in rates on or before November 15, 1973. Persons desiring to intervene and be heard should mail to the Commission by October 15, 1973, a notice showing his or her name and interest in this proceeding, care of William C. Young, Clerk, State Corporation Commission, P. 0. Box 1197, Blanton Building, Richmond, Virginia 23209, with a copy to William H. King, Counsel to Virginia Telephone and Telegraph Company, 1400 Ross Building, Richmond, Virginia 23219. Intervenors wishing copies of the applicant’s proposed new schedules of rates and charges and the prepared testimony and exhibits of the Company, the Commission staff, or of any intervenor who may file testimony and exhibits shall so request in their notice and it will be supplied. Intervenors should file with the Commission and send to Counsel to the Company by November 15, 1973, any direct testimony and exhibits proposed to be offered by witnesses for intervenors. STATE CORPORATION COMMISSION OF VIRGINIA per cent, 38,000 are included in the Shenandoah National Park. Ross Hales of Flint Hill had a question about trailer parks and slopes. They would be prohibited in 14 per cent areas, replied Baumgardner. Warner Krebser of Flint Hill asked how industrial zones had been decided. The only industrial zones shown reflect existing uses, said Newbill Miller; additions would require public hearings. B. Settle asked: “How do you justify a 25-acre minimum lot? What can you do with this? It doesn’t justify the use of farm machinery. You’re discrimating against the poor man.’’ George Davis said the minimum lot size is five acres in an agricultural zone, not 25, and Baumgardner added that if a man had a 25-acre lot he wouldn’t come under the subdivisions requirements anyway. MR. AND MRS. Irving Kilby both had questions about subdividing land to give to their children. They thought the regulations too restrictive on this point. Replied Newbill Miller: “It is the intention of the commission to have a division possible of up to three lots, served by a right-ofway, by a non-developer... Then later, if he decided to be a developer, he’dhaveto bring the lots up to subdivision standards. This would not be a loophole for a developer; I favor such an amendment.” Maybe a separate provision could be made for giving land instead of selling it, suggested Chris Parrish of Viewtown. “The developer would take advantage of that,” inougni Miner, aaaing mat it was not the intention of the commission to discriminate against anyone, but that it was necessary to try to guard against abuses. Ordinances from surrounding counties and other jurisdictions had been studied carefully, ,he said, with an attempt to adapt the best provisions of each to the specific requirements of Rappahannock County. “All problems of the county relate to this subdivision and zoning control,” said Miller. “It involves schools, police problems, garbage, pollution. If it is not done right, the Court will kick it out, even including the provisions that are constitutionally correct. We want an ordinance to do its work properly for the majority of the citizens of Rappahannock County.” ADDED George Davis: “Most people are worried about a bona fide transfer of property to members of their family. There’s no question that a person ought to be able to...transfer lots to members of the family. That is a situation we’ll have to reckon with, and I feel certain that your fears on that line will be taken care of.” But the questions continued. Mrs. Lucio Kilby had more questions about the definition of “subdivsion”; Edward Pawley wondered if tax provisions would be made for agricultural land which included floodplains—or, as he put it, “extremely rich and fertile bottomlands.” Newbill Miller noted to Pawley that the current county tax rate is levied on one fifth of appraised value—which is approximately 80 per cent of “true value*1—and that the country has no “land use breakdown.” | Added ^Miller: “Land use taxation is a different subject, which I hope the county approaches in the near future.” General Daniel Noce recalled an earlier zoning hearing, which, he said, was attended by more “old timers.” Of that meeting the General recalled: “They thought that what was good enough for the old man was good enough for me. Dividing land for children was discussed, and it was pointed out that when you do this the parts keep getting smaller.” General Noce saw as a greater danger pending U.S. land use legislation, which he said would provide for “land-planning on a national scale.” “That would be a catastrophe, to put the control way up there. If you did that, you’d never have a meeting like this. That would be disastrous. If we can’t settle this problem ourselves, we’re sunk.” PEGGY CLARK of Flint Hill asked if the zoning provided “any room for towns and villages to grow.” Newbill Miller agreed that*“this is where the growth should be.” Bill Keim said economic controls weren’t enough to See Page 14 SPECIAL END-OF-THE-YEAR SALE 7oWHEEL 73 HORSE Model 1-0120 with 36" Mower was *995.00 Now *899.95 One of our most popular models is the Wheel Horse 8horsepower — 4-speed.

Toning, subdivision hearing From Page 11 discourage developers. “I’ve been in Fairfax where land goes for as high as $25,000 an acre, and that didn’t stop the developers. I suggest you make it more expensive to subdivide. I think we need a Capital Improvements Fund subsidized by the builders, a trust fund for such things as a landfill, youth centers, parks — things we don’t think are needed now but which might be necessary later. Charge it with the building permit.” Lester Deal of Sperryville began to read from a mimeographed sheet purporting to be a list of facts about the proposed ordinances, and asked if a certain point were correct. ‘‘That’s propaganda,” said George Davis. ‘‘That’s not true,” said Newbill Miller. “Where did that paper come from?” asked Miss Patricia Saltonstall. NOBODY seemed to know; or, at least, nobody would say at first. After some hesitation, John Barber adnptted that he had prepared the paper. He read a portion of one of the sheets, adding, “This was made up...because we don’t feel the people have been given a-chance to see these ordinances. This is a factual breakdown.’’ “If the ordinance wasn’t available, how did you get so much information?” asked George Davis. “I’nwa citizen of Rappahannock..” began Barber. Edward Pawley interrupted to ask how many copies of the ordinances had been made available to the public. When told copies were only available to be read in the Clerk’s office, Pawley thought that “there should have been sufficient copies for everyone. Copies should have been available for study at leisure.” he warned of “fine lawyer print,” and proposed that the commission take steps to make more copies available. Newbill Miller said the procedure followed “was not designed to keep people from knowing what is going on,” adding that “the planning commission has always met in open session.” Miller went on: “At first, it was thought that this should have been done (more copies made available), but this is not going to be the final document and all changes could not be put on the proposed ordinances. “This is something you can’t just read and understand. It’s too technical; it’s too legal...What I think is necessary is to find out if the people are in agreement with the purposes, and then the details will have to be left up to the technical people. “We had a professional planner and two attorneys advising us at various stages over the past two years, and I can’t understand all the technical and legal points involved. I can’t understand all of the Code of Virginia, but its the law of the State. “We’ve never tried to hide anything from the people.” “I’M NOT accusing you of that,” said Edward Pawley. “But having copies available would be helpful in even showing the general purposes. I’m appalled that copies were not available.” Noted Mrs. Lucio Kilby: “These things come to close to 100pages. There’s little details that important things could hinge on lat TRUSTEES’ SALE OF VALUABLE REAL ESTATE In execution of a deed of trust from Philemon K.

C. LEA, JR. Sole Acting Trustee Culpeper, Virginia 825-0701 c-30-6-13-20 er.” She went on to mention some possibilities, such as a provision calling for “architecture that is harmonious” with the community. Who would decide, she wanted to know. “There’s entirely too many little details which leave bur fate up to a little board of individuals. Who decides what is attractive and harmonious?” “We don’t know whether we’re for or against,” said a man from the back of the room, and his remark drew a round of applause. Miss Saltonstall commended the commission for its study and work, but added: “I, too, would like to have something in my hands.” SUPERVISOR Pete Luke said copies could be acquired by individuals, at a cost of “20 cents a sheet if you go to Luray, 25 cents a sheet in Culpeper.” In answer to a question, it was stated that only about 15 copies of the two proposed ordinances are in existence. Phil Irwin of Flint Hill had a different view of the situation: “The availability of copies is not terribly important. That’s not a fair excuse for people not knowing what is contained. The ordinances have been available for inspection for two weeks. “If I had any criticism to make, I would hay the ordinances don’t go apywhere near far enough.” Even so, he encouraged support of both documents, warning that the county should also treat “leisure home” subdivisions as “full - time resiaenuai areas—“they should be required to meet the same requirements as all developers.” He also encouraged the county to consider land use tax relief, to help preserve open spajces. His remarks were greeted by applause. BUT SEVERAL persons were still festering about the alleged information gap, and Mrs. Irving Kilby suggested another night hearing in advance of the September 6 meeting of the Board of Supervisors, when a vote on the two ordinances is scheduled. When numerous difficulties were mentioned, this suggestion sort of fizzled out. Mrs. Lucio Kilby was not convinced as the hearing drew to a close: “H6w can you represent your constituents’ views when your constituents don’t even know what we’re discussing?” And Pete Estes got up to make a talk about how county government was only as good as the men who ran it. In this respect, he questioned the “integrity” of some members of the Board of Zoning Appeals. “It’s an awful harsh thing to attack the integrity of a public official in public,” said Newbill Miller, “and I take exception to your statement.” Barksdale then asked for a show of hands by people in favor “of a zoning ordinance in Rappahannock,” and with most people apparently in favor, he entertained a motion to adjourn at 9:50 p.m. — Ray Dilley FIRE & RESCUE NOTES Chester Gap Rescue Squad took Miss Hester Mahoney from her home in Huntly, Friday to Winchester Memorial Hospital.

There were two karate experts demonstrating the art of self defense. I think it is illegal to be on the offensive as their limbs are supposed to be registered as lethal weapons. I inquired if something of the supernatural was involved in the science. He replied in the negative, yet he said that when he was to destroy an object he “psyched out” till the object no longer existed to him, then it could easily be demolished. He also said he could rip my face off. He began a tentative examination of my jaw-bone, seeming to become excited. I didn’t want to lose face (my\own) so I didn’t encourage him. Back in Bible days there was a man who was a real expert at destroying his enemies. His name was Samson. Judo, karate or Kung Fu? Were these sciences lost to civilized people as they developed more sophisticated weapons and retained by the so-called backward races? What is the purpose of their revival? It may be that the exponents of these arts, or their pupils, will be the Davids and Samsons of another era.D BRIDGE CLUB MEETS Mrs. J. P.
