....... XXIV, Number cl#uur • THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20,1973 I - V. Controlling growth 'IA S£p !0?> Optimistic words heard at RLEPrfftjeeting By HARRISON O’CONNOR GEORGE DAVIS, Commonwealth Attorney for Rappahannock County, may have heartened some conservation-minded citizens with his blunt, personal approach to land use planning last Friday evening at the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection’s third annual membership meeting. The League staged a three-man panel discussion of local, regional and national land use planning. The talk, at times, was too generalized, getting away from Rappahannock County into lofty, planner’s jargon, or confident talk of “quality growth.” But George Davis’s view of the often-repeated need to “set our goals for the life style we want in the near future” was a blunt: “Leave Rappahannock Alone.” Davis spoke of local controls. W. P. Dinsmore White, director of the Piedmont Environmental Council, spoke generally of regional land use possibilities; Robert Dennis, director of The Conservation Foundation, gave an informative run-down of stateinitiated schemes to protect their favorite land from development. DENNIS’S honest, thoughtful silence when a citizen asked if there was any area in the country where land use restrictions had actually worked, set the tone of the meeting. Dennis admitted success had been “relative.” George Davis was first to speak, and it was clear from his detailed praise of Rappahannock’s new zoning and subdivision ordinances—that elaborately state that land use has now become a discretionary decision of the Board of Supervisors—that he is confident of Rappahannock County’s unsuitability for development. Much of the language Davis pulled from the ordinances related to “slope.” “In view of the terrain of Rappahannock County, you just don’t sit down and lay out one, five, or even 50-acre lots. We have left out subdivisions of five lots or less. We are trying to control the large developer. For the land developer, this is a tough ordinance. “But we have got to realize that our aims will be accomplished,” warned Davis. “In your lifetime, it will happen. “I have finally reached the point...when it is just impossible to deal with this...We have to face the realities of life as they now exist. We are fighting for our lives. I don’t give a damn who I make mad.” THEN IT was Dinsmore White’s turn. (Between speakers, Phil Irwin, president of R.L.E.P., offered a sentence of comment. Responding to Davis’s praise of Rappahannock’s ordinances Irwin said, “It is my personal feeling that the ordinances for the first time accepted some vital environmental considerations. I like the trend.”) First, White showed a brief slide show, with shots of the Bull Run Mountains and wildlife to portray a park approach to saving the mountain vs. development by speculators. White felt compelled to explain the need for professional planners. He made an analogy, comparing a planner with a Rappahannock farmer. “On a farm, a farmer plans each area. It takes a careful understanding of resources. We attempt to define the potential of each square foot, and decide on the appropriate uses. A planner has to be an expert on socio-economic political decisions...” The explanation that followed was rich in planner’s jargon. White talked of “eco-systems,” of maximizing the efficiency of use. “inventories” of the WATER OFF Residents of the Town of Washington are notified that the water will be turned off for repairs at 10 a.m. Friday, September 21. region, “a major design plan effort,” etc. RAPPAHANNOCK citizens heard of a regional planner’s function, not as it related to their County, and > Phil Irwin felt compelled to summarize: “Dinny is not saying nogrowth but quality-growth, which eventually all of us will have to accept.” Robert Dennis approached national trends in land use planning less loftily. Right off he admitted he was a “second home” land - owner in Rappahannock County. “I grew up in Fairfax and watched what happened there,” said Dennis, who admitted that Rappahannock County faces the impact of the “leisure home” industry. It must plan carefully not to become another local government “caught up in a whirlpool” where “septic systems handling waste water develop into small sewage systems until the State requires regional sewer system,” he said. “You get to a point where the process of change cannot be reversed. Public officials in Warren County now admit their County is at a point of no return, where it will soon be like Fairfax. “You get to the point where development be comes certain, where demand for services becomes certain, where taxes become certain.” DENNIS SAID that the Massanutten area at Fort Valley will soon be “completely urbanized,” just exactly where County fathers would have been least likely to plan for development. In Jefferson County, Dennis said that the County fathers had used a Chamber of Commerce approach to encourage growth. “Now the highways are being built and the demand for services has begun— not at all what they had in mind.” See Page 17 A late crop of hay is harvested on the rolling fields north of Huntly creating a scenic vista. The Blue Ridge makes a fitting backdrop for the picture.

Entered as Second Class Mail at the Post Office in Washii^ton, Virginia. Subscriptions (in advance) $3 in Rappahannock and adjacent counties: $3.50 East Coast: $4 Midwest: $4.50 West Coast MRS. SARAH C. LATHAM, Menacing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 , Save farmland “IT IS OF ABSOLUTE critical concern that thoughtless conversions of good agricultural land to other uses stop immediately if we are to have enough food and fiber for future generations.” S. Nfason Carbaugh, Commissioner of the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Commerce, made this assertion at a recent seminar on land use plans and policies, and his wise words should be heeded from one end of the land to the other. It’s all so obvious that it should hardly have to be stated, but anyone who has watched the relentless conversion of rich farmlands into housing tracts in Northern Virginia can appreciate the urgency of Mr. Carbaugh’s remarks. Quite simply, he points out that the American people can no longer take for granted abundant supplies of food at low prices, and he urged planners to consider the protection of existing agricultural land and to mark out for development only that land which is unsuitable for agricultural production. “A land use plan must be created to assure adequate production of food needs and a certain minimum acerage of the lands which are today considered agricultural must be reserved exclusively for agricultural production purposes in the future,” Mr.Xarbaugh said. THERE WERE OTHER portions of his talk which are less defensible—such as a sideswipe at “social constraints” against use of DDT and diethylstilbestrol; Virginia agricultural technicians seem to have a peculiar fondness for drenching everything with powerful chemicals. But his point about land use planning designed to keep agricultural lands in agricultural use is excellent; if for no other reason than developers know that the best agricultural land is often also the best land fqr building new houses.

Letter to the Editor Clean country airwaves Editor: • W K C W Radio in Warrenton, Virginia (better known at Big “K”) has been privileged to be a part of the country music industry by broadcasting country music industry by sic since 1960. During this period of time, we have met many of the present and past country music artists and consider quite a number of them as personal friends. In the past 12 to 18 months, it seems that more and more artists feel it is necessary to use DAMN and HELL in order to have a hit. If they don’t use the aforementioned words, they are resorting to suggestive sex, drugs, etc., in their recordings. We do not feel this is necessary in order to have a number 1 hit record. We at Big “K” are not condeming these recordings. We can advise against playing these records; we cannot slop it throughout the country, but, we can stop subjecting our listeners to records and songs which are offensive to them and everyone’s families. In closing, we woqld like to say that Big “K” at one time, was the only country music station in Northern Virginia. Now there are many. As long as we, the present management, have anything to do with Big “K," we will stay country even if we have to play nothing but good, clean country music from the pre-1970 days. We invite each and every writer, artist, publisher and recording company to join us and help clean up our polution problem and produce the all American Country Sound for all Country Music Radio Stations with records we can play and enjoy with the whole family.

Rappahannock Reassessment coming up “ANOTHER CONTROVERSIAL thing,” lamented Newbill Miller, Chairman of the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors, at last Thursday’s second session of the September Board meeting. So much time had been taken up at the previous week’s meeting on subdivision and zoning amendments that a second installment had to be arranged to handle “routine” business. Miller was referring to the State’s mandatory re-assessment that will influence the* tax bills of Rappahannock citizens by 1976. “This has to be done every six years? I hate it,” said Miller, in response to notification by the Real Estate Division of the Department of Taxation, that the Supervisors shouid recommend a number of citizens to form a re-assessing committee. Miller recalled the criticism that accompanied the last re-assessment of Rappahannock land. “There was criticism that each individual landowner was not notified. Cost eight cents to mail a letter; the envelope is another penny... ’ ’ “Costs 25 cents a letter,” said Col. Pete T ,ukfi “If you post the post offices and put it in The Rappahannock News, then I feel we’ve done all we should,” said Newbill Miller. ‘‘What characteristics should the people appointed to the committee have? asked Luke. “You don’t need aprofessional. The State Assessor they send down is the professional,” declared Miller. “Good honest people who will try and make it fair and equal,” added H. B. Wood. “I’LL WRITE MR. FORBERG recognizing that we need an appraiser by January 1,” said Clerk E. 'M. Jones. Col. Luke announced that Community Trash Removal Inc. will handle the County’s system of refuse stations. Luke also volunteered to write a series of articles in The Rappahannock News encouraging the use of the receptacles. “People say it’s like talking to a tree,” said Luke, “but I’m gonna try.” The County Sheriff was asked to prosecute “outsiders” who use the neighborhood trash boxes. Luke also announced that he would try to form a Sperryville Citizen’s Association by November, noting that Health Officer Dr. R. S. LeGarde had “riled up” citizens with a letter that warned that Sperryville businesses might be closed by January of 1974. “LeGarde’s letter was written rather brisk,” said Luke. “I want him to say the same thing but tone it down. A lot of people have panicked. ”□ Now-FREE HP GIVEN with each ton you buy Fall Harvest Fashion Show and Tea Saturday, September 22 Beginning at 2 p.m. in Rappahannock County Elementary School. i Fashions Presented By ^ SOUTHERN DEPARTMENT STORE S&K WARRENTON 5 Sponsored By rRappabannoefe Women's Club Alto featuring Sid Fashions from Rappahannock Sid Shop and Garment made of material from Fabrific Fabric Center, Front Royal.

Department of Agriculture (USDA). R. D. McDonald, regional meat grading supervisor for USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS)—the federal agency that administers the voluntary meat grading program—available since July 1972—livestock producer and feeders can obtain information on their animal ’ s quality and yield grade characteristics. In addition, the revision requires vendors obtaining grading services on a commitment (contract) basis to pay transfer charges when they cancel the commitment and then re-apply within one year. In such instances, the vendor would be required to pay for the cost of moving a meat grader back to resume service. ANOTHER change deletes the no longer needed requirements on sanitation and inspection in meat plants receiving t federal grading, but which are not federally inspected. These requirements became obsolete with the implementation of the Wholesome Meat Act, which requires states to provide meat inspection equal to the federal service in all plants not receiving federal inspection. Other changes are in per diem charges to vendors and in the format of meat grading certificates.□ Flint Hill homecoming Homecoming services will be held at the Flint Hill United Methodist Church on Sunday, September 23 at 11 a.m. The Rev.

Horse sleeping sickness is reported HORSE sleeping sickness — equine encephalitis—is being reported on a seasonal rise in many states. Consequently, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is urging owners who have not already done so to get their horses, ponies, mules or donkeys vaccinated. Dr. M. J. Tillery, southeastern veterinary services director for USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service(APHIS), said so far this year outbreaks of eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) have been confirmed in seven southeastern states—Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia—and four other states. Outbreaks of western equine encephalitis (WEE) have been confirmed in ten western states. And, suspected cases of horse sleeping sickness have been recently reported in four northeastern states. Laboratory analysis of blood or tissue specimens is needed to confirm a diagnosis. Early signs of the disease which horse owners should watch for are depression, lack of appetite and drowsiness—hence the name sleeping sickness. Dr. Tillery said owners should report animals showing such signs to their local veterinarians or to state or federal animal health officials immediately. IN ITS most severe form, horse sleeping sickness causes inflamation of the brain. Often horses that develop brain inflamation die. Those that survive BAG YOUR BUCK HUNTING BOW!

We can’t bring back the days when we were all together, but all our lonely heartaches and all our many tears will keep us close forever. Your life is a beautiful memory. Your silence is our grief.

In the case of Venezuelan equine encephalatis (VEE), horses are an important factor in the spread of EEE or WEE. THE WESTERN virus (WEE) affects horses generally west of the Appalachians. The eastern (EEE) attacks hoTses generally along the Atlantic seaboard and in the Gulf states. There are areas of the country, however, where the two diseases overlap. vaccines inai protect norses against both diseases are available through veterinarians. A vaccine for VEE is also available. August and September are the months when horse sleeping sickness is most commonly observed in the United States. Ideally, vaccination should take place in the spring—before mosquitoes emerge in large numbers. But if vaccination of horses has not been carried out, Dr. Tillery stated, it is still worthwhile to do so now—even in the face of an outbreak.□ Jim Racer, son of Mr. and Mrs. Carroll Racer of Washington, shows off the 84 pound pumpkin he and his pop raised this year.

Another viewpoint denounced From the Warren Sentinel ATTENTION has been focused on Warren County by a national magazine as well as a nearby newspaper. The subject in each case is land development. The September 6 issue of The Rappahannock News reports on a recent hearing on proposed zoning and subdivision ordinances before the county planning commission. Speaking about a zoning ordinance that was passed some years ago, George Davis, Rappahannock County commonwealth’s attorney, is quoted as saying, “but that zoning ordinance did not ruin Rappahannock County. Look at Culpeper, Warren and Page counties, and you’ll see what happened to them because they didn’t have good ordinances — especially Warren County.” The article continues, “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 on it and a lid on it.’ ” That visit, Mr. Davis stated, convinced him that Rappa• hannock County was fortunate to have land use controls.

They tell how Warren County’s pastoral setting in recent years “has been Antique show and sale THE THIRD annual Antique Show and Sale sponsored by the Woman’s Club of Manassas, will be held September 29 and 30 at the Manassas National Guard Armory, Route 234, Manassas.

The heavier impacts of growth, coming in a second wave of growth, according to Mr. Mosena and Mr. Popper, are the greater need for services as leisure homes. Among these are police and fire protection, water supply, sewer treatment, roads, solid waste disposal, schools and health facilities.

Now we are reaping the effects both economically and tragically, esthetically- lyLittle or nothing can be done about plats that already have been recorded. By updating zoning and subdivision ordinances we can be sure that land is used more wisely in the future.

Angus Association marks anniversary > i. a. - r-l. — HOME ON the range, four black bulls are remembered as fathers of their country—now with an American population of 20,000,000 beefy offspring. , And never is heard a discouraging word from the American Angus Association, which made the estimate to mark the 100th anniversary of the chunky Scottish bulls’ invasion of the world of rangy Texas Longhorns. Actually, the four bulls soon were getting help from additional immigrants, including cows, to start today’s American herds of Black Angus, which produced 350,910 purebred calves last year. This purebred breed is growing faster than any other, according to the association. The success story of the Black Angus—also known as Aberdeen-Angus for the two Scottish counties it hailed from, or as American Angus for its adopted homeland—is being saluted by a new centennial postage stamp, the National Geographic Society says. The 8 - cent “Rural America” commemorative features a blue-ribbon bull, with native Longhorns grazing the plains in the background. THE FIRST crossbreeds with Longhorns were sold at the Chicago stockyards and their beef reportedly won the acclaim of meat packers. Today some cattlemen say that Black Angus meat is “finer tex Highway Week THE FAUQUIER-RAPPAHANNOCK office of the Virginia Highway Department will mark “Highway Week” by giving all citizens an opportunity to “drop by and talk about highway problems.” Don Askew, resident engineer, said this will not be an “open house,” as such, but “just an opportunity to talk about problems, and everybody seems to have problems.” The office in Warrenton, on the By-pass, will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Q tured with tastier marbling of fat,” points of excellence to beef connoisseurs. Those may be fighting words for ranchers who run Hereford. Charolais, Shorthorn, or other beef on their spreads. However, no one disputes that today’s breeds outweigh Longhorns in putting on pounds quickly. Black Angus, for example, weigh 1,100 pounds —ideal market weight—at 15 to 18 months. At that age, Longhorns weigh hundreds of pounds less, though they get heavier and then hoofed it to George Grant’s new ranch in Victoria, Kansas, in 1873. But Longhorns’ ancestors — Spanish fighting bulls— were brought with theConquistadores, and in the 1600’s were driven north of the Rio Grande. By 1860, 6,000,000 on the range were the source of the saying; “Other states were carved or born; Texas grew from hide and horn.” Down to about 30 head, Longhorns were saved from extinction in the 1920’s. steadily for five or six more years, living perhaps to 14 or 15 or even older. i TRUSTEES’ SALE OF VALUABLE REAL ESTATE In execution of a deed of trust from Philemon K.

The Navy reassures some By RAY DILLEY, THERE ARE several ways of looking at it. You might say that one of Virginia’s leading industries is the United States Navy; a better way of putting it might be to say the United » States Navy is one of Virginia’s most prominent citizens. Fellow ‘ Virginians in Tidewater are more familiar with the significance of the Navy’s presence in their state than their inland cousins. Last week end, three Piedmont Virginians got a first hand look at the largest naval installation in the world, and one of the largest fighting ships in the world, as guests of Secretary of the Navy John Warner (himself a Piedmont Virginian). William Leach, Middleburg businessman and Graduate School of the University of Illinois. Washborne and Russell spent some time in the Navy air arm during World War II (on old PBY flying boats), and Leach did some flying in the Army, but their smiles were just as fixed and forced as those on the faces of Arundel (ex-Marine Corps) and Dilley (ex-surface Navy, destroyers) as the CIA “Trader” took off from Norfolk and headed out to sea. And all were just as impressed by the actual carrier landing, involving as it does a sudden stop from about 85-90 mph to zero within a few feet. It is, to put it mildly, quite a sensation.

Saturday evening, we even stood out next to the flight deck and watched night landing operations. After the first one or two jet approaches—and the realization that the planes were not, after all, going to fly up your left nostril —it was interesting. SLEEPING was something else. The carrier’s pilots were undergoing requalification landings, and former chairman of the Loudoun Board of Supervisors; Arthur W. Arundel, publisher of the Loudoun Times-Mirror, and Ray... Dilley, editor - general manager of the Piedmont Virginian, went to Norfolk and were flown out to the U.S.S. America, an attack carrier which was cruising off the Virginia capes some 40-100 miles at sea. THAT’S RIGHT—flown! The Carrier landing was a first for the three Virginians, as well as their companions on the trip— C.

At the same time, by providing metric alongside standard measurements, the National Park Service can provide a useful educational method for school children and the public at large to think in metric terms.” • Walker pointed out that in 1971 the Secretary of Commerce recommended that the United States change to the metric system through a coordinated national program. Legislation is pending before Congress to establish a national program.

TESTE: E. M. Jones, Clerk By Eva L. Smith Dep. Clerk James W. Fletcher Counsel for Complainant Sperryville, Virginia \ resolved A LONG-standing personnel question that created some friction between Rappahannock Supervisors H. B. Wood and Chairman Newbill Miller at earlier meetings—whether to allow E.A. McNear to stay on as Zoning Administrator— was finally resolved in gentlemanly style. When growth pressures expanded the duties of McNear’s office to the point where the Zoning Administrator wanted an assistant, Supervisors Wood and Miller split over whether to accept Col. McNear’s offer to continue his work as Zoning Administrator with the help of an assistant. Wood was clearly in favor of hiring another man. His continuous prodding at an earlier meeting “to hire another man” eventually forced a constrained “you’re not polite” observation from Newbill Miller. At last Thursday’s session of the Board of Supervisors, continued from the previous week, the matter of how to keep Col. E. A. McNear as Zoning Administrator without jeopardizing his retirement salary was finally resolved, with Supervisors Miller and. Wood making a great show of gentlemanly consideration. H. B. WOOD stubbornly plunked for the hirihg of engineer F. M. Baumgardner to replace McNear, but admitted: “I can only vote; I can only give you my point of view.” And Miller responded: “I’m sort of like you, H.B. I haven’t changed my mind. I don’t say you’re wrong, either.” Wood gave it one last try when he said: “Why can’t we let Mr. Baumgardner do the whole thing? Mr. McNear’s retired and got a 500-acre farm. He’s got enough to do withoug getting bored.” The supervisors eventually voted 3-2 to hire Baumgardner to assist McNear for one day a week, with H.B. Wood and J.R. Latham opposed. Miller was joined in the vote by Herbert Foster and Pete Luke. The outcome of the argument about the expanded duties of the Zoning Administrator’s office—with Baumgardner now acting as assistant zoning and subdivision administrator, and building and electrical inspector—is that the Board wants staff recommendations prepared prior to significant zoning decisions, and McNear’s presence at Board meetings. “THE TIME has come,” said Col. Luke, “when we must have staff work so that we can make rational decisions.” Another result of the discussion of McNear’s duties is th&t the Board expects anyone who disagrees with the County’s delineation of “conservation” areas must furnish their own contours maps. “I don’t want to get the County in the business of surveying,” said Newbill ALTON W.

Tips on home storage of vegetables This article was written by Wesley P. Judkins, Virginia Tech Extension horticulturist. FALL is a wonderful 0 time in the vegetable garden. The hard work of planting and weed control has been completed. The harvesting of delicious vegetables is an easy and pleasant job. You may have been canning or freezing your surplus during the summer. Now you should plan to store potatoes, onions, and other crops, to help reduce your food bill during the next few months. Modern houses do not have the desirable storage places which were formerly available in most town and country homes. If you look around however, and do a bit of innovating, you may find you can locate some good storage facilities. Cool damp cellars are fine for beets, carrots, and white potatoes, winter type cabbage. The room should be dark. Be sure to provide ventilation to avoid a musty condition. If your basement is quite cool, preferably below 40 degrees, your stored crops may last for several months. A dry unheated basement may be used by covering your produce with slightly damp peat moss, or with plastic to reduce water loss. If a suitable place is not available in the house, you may store your root crops, potatoes and cabbage in an unheated garage or tool shed. The temperature will remain at a more uniform low level if the building is insulated. PLACE the produce in barrels or boxes to exclude light, but do provide REWARD I will pay $1,000 Reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons guilty of setting fire to my barns. C. E. Johnson Jr. Sperryville, Va. REWARD some ventilation. The use of peat moss, sawdust, or plastic will help reduce water loss as suggested for basement storage. As the temperature gets colder in early winter you may need to add insulation to avoid damage by freezing. A small but practical pit-type storage can be made at the edge of the garden, from a wooden barrel or metal drum. Lay the barrell of drum on its side and make a hole several inches square at the top of the solid end. This will provide the needed ventilation. Cover with a piece of quarter inch hardware cloth type wire screen to exclude mice. Make a cover to fit tightly over the open end. ! ' Cover your barrel-type pit storage with several inches of straw, coarse dry weeds, corn stalks, or other material. Then add several inches of soil. Dig this soil from around your pit storage to provide extra drainage during rainy periods. Additional insulation in the form of corn stalks or evergreen boughs may be needed to prevent freezing in severe cold weather. WINTER type onions such as Ebenezer will keep for several months in a cool dry place. A temperature below 40 degrees is preferred. Be sure the on ‘74 JEEP ALL—NEW JEEP CHEROKEE The Jeep is the most famous vehicle of its kind in the world, and for good reason. It has been working and playing all over the world for over 30 years ncftv. This year it is even better than ever. Take a test drive and see why at R0SS0N-TR0IL0 MOTOR CO. Brandy Station, Va. 825-3722 ion necks are dry and shrunken before harvest. This indicates proper maturity and good storage life. You may harvest tomatoes when the fruits turn light green or pink on the end. They will ripen slowly and keep for four to six weeks in a moderately dry basement at about 60 degrees temperature. Peppers will keep for several weeks if stored at about 50 degrees. Sweet potatoes are quite easy to store. Dig the roots carefully to avoid bruising. Cure them for about ten days at 80 degrees. They will then keep for several months is stored at about 60 degrees in a moderately dry basement. WINTER type squash and pumpkins may be stored successfully in a moderately dry basement at about 60 degrees. Place on a shelf or counter. Do not store on a damp concrete floor. Be sure that all the produce you store is firm, properly matured, and free of insect and disease damage. It is a waste of time and energy to store inferior vegetables. □ Si Sez FIRST I WOULD LIKE to correct a misprint of the Si Sez of last week, where the word Moon was substituted for NOON. In Joshua 10:13 you will find this statement: “The sun stood still at the zenith (noon), and delayed its setting for a whole day.” Old Sol might obey his Creator and pause over Gideon, but he would not .wreck his whole planetary system, make it eternally noontime, just to gaze direct down on a “too Lovely Lady.” Several years ago an M. D. was granted cer- * tain privileges. Traffic police would not interfere with him if he was speeding. In fact, in some instances he was provided an escort to expedite his speeding; might be an emergency. I don’t believe this concession is granted to doctorates in any other profession. Get the point, old buddy? And how about losing our freedoms? Just where does one person’s freedom end and another’s begin? In my early days of railroading all coaches were provided with smoking compartments; if you wanted to smoke you went to the smoker. I might add that this rule was enforced." Now when that rule is threatened to be put back in force we hear cries of “loss of freedom.” Does the non-smoker have any freedom from a condition where he has to breathe your exhaled poison? Look at both sides of the coin, friend.□ TO THE RESIDENTS OF RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT I SHALL SIT ON SATURDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1973, FROM 10:00 A.M.

New loan regulations THE LOAN interest rate in the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Farm Storage and Drying Equipment Loan Program is being raised to reflect increased borrowing costs of money to Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC). The interest rate will be increased from 6.0 percent to 8.75 percent, per annum, computed on a daily basis. In addition, the amount of down payment required by borrowers is being raised from 15 to 30 percent because of the accelerated pace at which on-farm storage is being added. The changes became effective for loan applications filed on or after September 17. The changes are designed to “maintain program activity at a level which will more nearly reflect the current storage situation rather than the situation that has prevailed over the past several yearsand they should result in a reduction of Federal Government expenditures in fiscal year 1974, the Department explained. UNDER the Farm Storage and Drying Equipment Loan Program farmers can secure CCC loans to finance on-farm storage and' drying facilities needed for grain and other commodities. Record use was made of the program during fiscal year 1973 when 41,046 loans were made for $156.6 million representing more than 313.5 million bushels of storage capacity. Storage and Equipment loans have been available since 1949. □ PRE-INVENTORY SALE 1 First Quality Trevira Polyester Double Knits starting as low as $2.50 per yard.
