Vandalism decried Virginia County farmer calls for tougher aclibns ANOTHER TALE Of destructive vandalism was related last Thursday to the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors, and H. L. Man waring predicted that if such things continued, farmers might be forced out of business. He said that “sometime over the weekend” previous to the meeting, “someone cut my fences in 60 places at Rock Mills. They took a bolt cutter and cut through the net fence, between Mr. Pawley and me and Miss Settle and me. It will take a month to replace. It’s the third time my fences have been cut.” Referring to a paper upon which he had written some of his thoughts; Manwaring continued: “I’ve been quiet up to now, thinking that it might be best to let the thing blow over. I appreciate the promptness of the Sheriff’s response in every instance, but I have decided not to be quiet any longer.” Manwaring described another instance of vandalism where his padlocks on a fence gate had been cut and replaced by someone else’s padlocks. ‘‘I’ve never done anyun kind thing to anyone in this county. “The only question seems to be is when will your ox be gored, too. MANWARING opened his remarks by noting that the county government had devoted a great deal of attention lately to problems of zoning, erosion control, etc., as means of preserving the county. “Well, this is related to the subject of zoning and other things designed to prevent the desecration of this county. We’ve been worried about powerlines, subdivisions, flood plains, erosion. Farmers have been worried about erosions problems to the extent that they’ve stopped growing crops and put in all grass. “But an erosion greater than all of these is the erosion of our respect for law and order.” Manwaring referred to recent incidents where barns belonging to C.E. Johnson Jr. had been burned, of tractors being “run into the woods,” of vandalism in homes, rustling of livestock, etc. and warned that more could come. “We have in this room nearI^4S^AlflQfeaders of this county—withtheexception of the judges—and it behooves all of us to be alert to the problem and to do all we can about it.” said Manwaring. “WE MUST report any observations of wrongdoing and do all we can to help apprehend them—and then do all we can to make sure that something is done when arrests are made. “I’m not a lawyer...but maybe we ought to take them off their wheels.

Flower arrangements will be sold only in the Trinity Episcopal Church Parish Hall salesroom in Washington, Va. on Saturday and Sunday. No special orders will be taken. The tour hours and sale will be from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday. Block tickets will be $2 while individual houses wil be $1 each. Box lunches will be sold each day in the area across from the Episcopal Parish Hall in Washington by patrons of the Rappahannock Community Center. A turkey dinner will be served Saturday night at the Flint Hill fire hall by ladies of Flint Hill, from 5 p.m. until 7 p.m. On the same days and hours, the Arts and Crafts Group will hold a sale and demonstrations at the Sperryville fire hall on Route 211. THE Rappahannock Women’s Club will join the weekend’s activities with a sale of baked goods and other items, including their newly published cook book. They will be located next to the Country Store in Washington. Three varied and interesting private homes will be on tour. The houses include Montejurra, home of Mr. and Mrs. L. Brent Bozell, near Huntly on Route 522, built in 1897, originally for use as a hunting retreat for the men of the Gordon family. Mrs. Douglas Gordon had the northern addition built that includes the living room with its “Musicians Gallery.” The panelling in this room is made of wood grown on the place. After purchasing the property from J.A.B. Dahlgren in 1965, the Bozells have kept this “period piece” intact; their only remodeling was to add a glassed-in porch to Mrs. Gordon’s old suite. TEA WILL be served at “Montejurra” both days of the tour. Also on tour will be Stone House Hollow on the Fodderstack Road (Route 628) home of Mrs. Raymond B. Allen. This group of old stone buildings was part of the large Dearing tract of land that was purchased by William Pullen in 1960 and sold to the present owner in 1960. There were three buildings on the site, built in 1810, but the main house burned down many years ago, and the old stone chimney has now been incorporated in the landscaping of the gardens. Stones have been, used effectively throughout the gardens for terracing, patios and paths. The stone cook house was renovated and added onto by Mr. Pul len to include a large recreation and kitchen wing in the back and an equally large bedroom and studio overhead. Over the original kitchen the loft has been made into another bedroom. The only major addition done by Mrs. Allen was to change an eastern porch to a glass; enclosed garden room. See Page 15 711 Main Street in Flint Hill is the home of Mrs. Mary Cleverley and it will be open for the annual house tour and flower sale scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, October 20 and 21. The event is sponsored by the Episcopal Churchwomen of Broomfield Parish.

LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Local power . • £T<2 HIRAM ZfGLEIT, THfe FAMILIAR state Farm Bureau official who helped Prince William, Loudoun^ and Fauquier farmers in obtaining local land use tax relief—and who served on the land use policy committee of the Virginia Advisory Legislative Council—spoke some words at last Friday’s land us^e conference in Richmond that would have sounded familiar to Loudoun and Fauquier Supervisors, if they had been there to hear. Said Zigler: “County Boards don’t know how much power they’ve got. No locality has used all the power it has.” This is the same point made to Fauquier and Loudoun Supervisors by Robert Stipe of the Institute of Government at the University of North Carolina, during the course of a planning workshop trip to England. Local American government officials, Stripe repeated over and over, have almost as much absolute power as English planners, with their vaunted control over development decisions—if they would but exercise it. ZIGLER CITED SOME CHAPTER and verse at the Richmond meeting. For example, why don’t local officials rely more on Section 15.1-427, Zigler wanted to know—the section which dictates that local funds, derived from local taxes, must be spent in the most efficient and economical way? When taxes start escalating rapidly because of rapid growth, why can’t local governments cite this section to exercise stricter controls, Zigler asked. He thought they could. Hirzm Ziglpr was also provocative in his discussion of the “Health safety and welfare” clause of Virginia local enabling legislation. This phrase refers in the lawbooks only to the “health safety and welfare of the inhabitants,” that’s present inhabitants of a* jurisdiction, Zigler noted. “So when somebody says, ‘What about the people that’s coming here?’ you don’t owe the people that are coming a nickel’s worth. Your first obligation is to the people who are already here.” Planning assistance THE RappahannockRapidan Planning District Commission at its meeting on Thursday, September 28, endorsed a program emphasizing local planning assistance to local member jurisdictions as a means of strengthening local planning. Under the program, the planning district staff will “provide technical planning expertise” to local jurisdictions requesting the service; this service will be provided at no additional cost to member localities, said Arthur S. War ren, executive director. In other business, the Commissioners passed a resolution to endorse the action taken by the Virginia Planning District Commission Legislative Ad-visory Council in requesting that $50,000 be the minimum State funding of the planning districts under the Virginia Area Development Act as of fiscal year 1974-1975. The jurisdictions represented at the meeting included Fauquier, Orange and Rappahannock Counties and the Town of Warrantor) H Wap • Barns Mrs. Stan Magee correctly identified the barn last week as that on the Charlie Compton property near Amissville. She was the only person to enter the contest. She will receive a free year’s subscription to the Rappahannock News. Here is another. Zoning office open 2 days DEFINITE instructions for the Rappahannock Zoning Office to stay open two days a week—Tuesdays and Thursdays—have been given by the Board of Supervisors. The decision was made at last Thursday’s meeting of the Board during a discussion about whether a zoning administrator or assistant could also serve as the county building inspector. F. M. Baumgardner, the assistant, submitted a memorandum in which he concluded that a combination of jobs was not permissable. Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis said the question was not. .critical for Rappahannock anyway, since state law requires a building inspector only if the county intends to apply for low-rent housing development aid, and things of that sort. Since the county had no such plans, he saw no need for a building inspector. BUT DAVIS did think the zoning office should be open two days a week, maybe even three. Supervisor Herbert Foster made a motion to that effect, and it passed unanimously. H. L. Manwaring, speaking from the audience, said he thought it would be helpful if on one of those days, one of the officials managed “to get out in tja.e country and take a look around... There’s a need to take a look at how structures are completed and things like that.” Mrs. Carson Johnson was named to the county welfare board to replace Mrs. C. E. Johnson, Jr., who resigned. Also resigning was C. E. Johnson Jr., as a member of the county’s water and sanitation authority. □ Park visitors show increase VISITORS to Shenandoah National Park have increased steadily in 1973 with a 9.07 increase reported for the calendar year. In 1972 the total visitors to the Park, stood at 1,751,200 through September. This year, 1973, the total is 1,910,200. / September visitors numbered 276,300 this year as compared to 219,300 last. This is a 25.9% increase for the month, a record breaking travel month for September. Exceptionally good weather accounts for the increase. The maximum temperature at Big Meadows during September was 84 degrees with the minimum at 37. /Precipitation measured 3.40 inches.□ Was it FOX -hunting? By MARY JAMIESON DURING CUBHUNTING this past Thursday, October 4, the Rappahannock Hunt foxhound pack ran a bear cub. How about that for a switch in quarry? Hounds were taken out past the Old Fletcher’s Mill and across Route 522 into the big valley between Fielding and Poortown mountains. They worked southwest over Lane’s pastures toward Alan Stokes’orchard. Once in the orchard, hounds picked up a track which they pursued in a most bewildered and confusing fashion. One hunter commented, “TheyVe on again, off again.” After watching this desultory performance for a good while the field decided to leave and go home. However, Alan Stokes, though not on horse and not out for foxhunting that morning, saw the sport. Stokes reported he watched the pack find a bear cub that was playing around in his orchard. “The hounds acted surprised and unsure of what to do.” He continued, “they got the bear cub scrambling along between the rows of apple trees, then acted shy about following him.” He watched until the cub crossed the gravel road at the foot of Juba Mountain, where the few unenthusiastic hounds that were trailing refused to cross,” Later that afternoon, I interviewed the oldest foxhound in the kennel, Hank. He explained, “In the road we had a,quick conference and decided that bear factsare not enough!”□

T H E L I T T L E F 0 X 9tmditn I Payment for powerline lawyers challenged FORMER county Treasurer Robert L. (Jock) Brown has questioned the legality of the county paying $1,000 to help pay for legal expenses involved in the effort to block new powerline corridors. The Supervisors voted to mgtke the payment after Phil Irwin, president of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection, appeared to ask for financial help. Fauquier County has appropriated $5,000 to help pay attorneys and technical advisors. “Is the RLEP a chartible organization? Is this legal?” asked Brown at last Thursday’s meeting of the Supervisors. “The Board can pay attorney’s fees,’’replied Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis., but he promised that “I will check with the Attorney General” in the light of Brown’s challenge. “WE CANNOT make a contribution to RLEP, but we can help pay attorney’s fees,” Davis thought. “After all, Vepco is bringing the suit.” “But against who?” asked Brown. “If the powerline goes through, it will be against the entire county,” said Chairman Newbill Miller. “If it goes across your land, who’ll get the money?” asked Jock Brown. “But who pays extra taxes when that land depreciated by the powerline?” countered Miller. Brown recalled that at one time it had been de creed that ‘‘all the county could contribute to was the volunteer fire department. I don’t see giving $1000 away of the taxpayer’s money. This is not in the budget. Show me where it’s in the budget.” Miller said the $1,000 would be taken from “surplus.” “That surplus is going to quit one of these days,” said Brown, who went onto raise another point that was bothering him. “I SAW in the paper that you’re not going to send out notices when the land is reassessed,” he said, passing over a large law book, opened, to Chairman Miller. He asked that Miller read the section indicated. Amissville Fire Company is building a new fire house and social hall since the Virginia Department of Highways has purchased the old one, which stands in the path of progress, namely the dual land highway which will be constructed. A large crane hoisted the huge steel girders in place and workmen anchor them down as the fire house takes shape. Mountain foliage turns WARM, sunny days and crisp nights is the prescription for brilliant fall colors, and already trees along the Blue Ridge in Shenandoah National Park are turning due to lower temperatures and shorter days. Reds of the dogwood, red oak, sassafras, Virginia creeper, and black gum are evident in the higher elevations, and the yellows of the hickories are beginning to appear. Color is scattered but is good near Sky land. The fall webworm,abun dant along the Skyline Drive this past summer, has nearly disappeared from the trees. However, it can still be seen along with the autumn colors in some trees. The webworm has not affected the colors except to temporarily defoliate some trees along the roadsides which may normally have turned along, with the rest of their species. Persons planning a trip to the Park this October are invited to stop at one of the two visitor centers— Dickey Ridge near • Front Royal and/or Big Meadows at Milepost 51. They will be open daily from 9 a.m., to 5 p.m., through November 10. EXHIBITS, slide presentations, and Park literature enhance fall visits. Evening programs will be presented Tuesday through Saturday in the Byrd Visitor Center Auditorium at 8 p.m. at Big Meadows. The visitor center will be open every weekend during the winter months, weather and road conditions permitting. □ Newbill Miller read from the law book. “We’ll comply with the law, if in the meantime...”he began, also starting to read. He was quiet for a few moments, and then said: “It says we have to mail out notices.” He readthespecific language, saying that notice “shall be given by mail.” Concluded Miller: “If that’s the law, we’ll do it.” H.L. Manwaring, speaking from the audience, suggested that the law meant that if the assessment is raised, a notice has to be mailed, but if the assessment remains the same, a mailing is not required. “If I don’t get one, I’ll be happy not to have a notice,” he grinned. □ EARLY'S CARPET SALES & SERVICE urge mspuwop Rationally KNOWN HANOI IMPORTED ORIENTALS ALSO REMNANTS iMlWMf ALEXANDER SMITH PATCRAFT MOHAWK RARWICK MASLANO RESIDENTIAL - COMMERCIAL, CUSTOM SUOGET TERMS DRAPERIES • SLIPCOVERS (MADE LOCALLYt VISIT OUR SHOWROOM OR CALI FOR •HOF AT HOME-SERVICE EXFERT RUG CLEANING CUSTOM * STOCK WINDOW SHADIS linoleums - Vinyls * tile WALL-TCMNALL CARPET installations Call 937-4404 (**• 211> AmimUh. v*.

The bride was given in marriage by her brother, Donald Reese of Denver. Her gown of candlelight organza mist and bridal satin was designed with a cameo neckline and sheer yoke with scalloped trim at the collar. The fitted bodice of Alencon lace was accented with scallops at the empire waistline, and the full sheer sleeves were appliqued with lace. The Watteau chapel train of lace and satin flowed fromthe skirt.

They wore violet gowns of the « same design as the matron of honor. Best man was Larry Donn of New York City and ushers were William Fifield, Stephen Patterson, Thomas Parry III, Rodney Davis and Robert Siegle. After a wedding trip to Mexico City, Acapulco, and Matzatlan, the newly weds will be at home in Vail, CO.D Concert membership open THE CULPEPER Community Concert Association is opening its membership to newcomers in the counties of Orange, Fauquier, Madison, Rappahannock and Culpeper who have arrived since the annual membership drive held last spring. Dr. C. Russell Aylor, association president, said attractions scheduled for the 1973-74 season are: New York Pro Musica, Wednesday, November 7. The New York musical, “Brigadoon,” Monday, January 21, 1974. The Eglevsky Dance Company, Monday, April 1, 1974. All concerts are scheduled for 8 p.m. at the Culpeper county High School auditorium o& Route 229 in Culpeper. The cost of membership is $10 annually for an adult; $5 for a student, and $25 for a family membership. INTERESTED newcomers are asked to contact Miss Dolores Aylor, association secretary, at the Culpeper National Bank. Dr. Aylor emphasized that membership may be purchased by newcomers only, since to allow indiscriminate year-round enrollment would destroy the advance payment plan on which the debt-free association is based. “We have to have our membership drive in the early spring, in order to have the money in hand with which to purchase our attractions. Since they are of Kennedy Center and Richmond Mosque calibre, they are very expensive. No one person could afford to underwrite this financial undertaking, nor should any small group undertake the responsibility. It is truly a community endeavor.” DR. AYLOR also noted that the extremely low cost of membership is due to large number of volunteers who conduct the membership drive and manage the affairs of the association. Another bonus members receive is the privilege of attending community concerts at nearby Fairfax and Manassas. Members may attend these sister concerts on a space available basis merely by presenting their Culpeper membership card. Any member who has not received his membership card for 1973-74 is ashed to call Miss Dolores Ay lor, Secretary, at the Culpeper National Bank.D WOODVILLE NEWS By MRS.

Sperryville road plan being studied THE HIGHWAY Department still hasn’t decided what it is going to do about highway improvements in the Sperryville area—whether to by-pass the town or build a planned fourlane rode through the center of town. D.B. Hope, district engineer, appeared before the Rappahannock Supervisors at their meeting last Thursday, in response to a request for specific road information. “We have a sewer plant problem there,” explained Chairman Newbill Miller, “and they want to know what the highway department is going to do before and if they put in the plant. If you’re going through downtown and take half of the houses, maybe we won’t need a plant.” Miller put the question of Sperryville first on the agenda of the meeting because, as he explained it, “with that chart up there I can’t concentrate on anything else.” HopeandDonald Askew, resident engineer, came to the meeting with a huge aerial photograph of Sperryville, upon which had been marked down various possible routes for the new highway work. HOPE RECALLED that at a hearing held in 1970, when the Highway Department definitely proposed widening the highway through the middle of town, only one person spoke and she was against this plan. “It’s been in limbo ever since,” Hope admitted. “Additional studies have been made but not too energetically, and we are now scheduled for a decision after the first of the year, aiming at a possible beginning of construction after 1975.” Hope continued: “When your request came in, I was advised that the department is now studying the feasibility of a bypass to the south of Sperryville, and that a decision on this will be made early in 1974, setting the exact location.” In reply to a question from Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis, Hope said the department has by no means “discontinued” the idea of widening the road as its passes directly through the town. He also noted that theU.S. Park Service “won’t let us four-lane the road on up the mountain.” HOPE ALSO talked of “advantages and disadvantages; in the purposed bypass . “It would take all the tourist traffic out of Sperryville,” he noted, and would cost approximately $1 million more to construct. But if the road were widening in town, it would disrupt 14 houses and “a lot of folks don’t want to move out of Sperryville,” said Hope. Route explained D. B. Hope, district engineer for the Highway Department, explains various bypass routes projected on an aerial photograph of the Sperryvilie area. Up to now, he told the Board of Supervisors last Thursday, no specific route has been selected. Newbill Miller said he didn’t think that many houses would be affected, and Hope checked his figures and announced: “Three dwellings and eight businesses without curb and gutter, and 16 houses and 14 businesses with curbs and gutters. Without curbs and gutters, you have to construct wide shoulders.” By-passing Sperryville to the north has, “for all practical purposes,” been abandoned as a possible alternative, said Hope, because this would give no traffic service to Route 522. H. L. MANWARING, speaking from the audience, urged that if the southern by-pass is decided upon, that the Highway Department give “thorough consideration to what you’re doing to good agricultural land. It’s open grazing land there; we’re agriculturally - based in this county, and we shouldn’t take more good agricultural land out of production.” Miller agreed that “we need food for future gener ations.” « "But if you go through | town," said Hope, “you | disturb people and they’ll $ have to buy land for new § houses, which would take § more land out of production. But we do take these | things into consideration." \ Replied Manwaring: •: "I’ve seen a lot of places •: where they took the best land for highways when they ■: could have taken deserts j: or worse land.” i IN REPLY to another question, Hope said he was unsure whether further public hearings would be held. “So we’re in the same situation as before?" concluded Chariman Miller. Hope said that was right, adding that he’d be glad to work with Supervisor Pete Luke’s special sewer study committee. In the conversation that wound up this portion of the meeting, Newbill Miller noted that "a majority of the people” in Sperryville had once favored widening of the road directly through the center of the town.E WE HELP YOU. —DO IT YOURSELF!

Richard Latham, Ex. to Buford Edwards and wife, 1.102 acres; Jackson Si Sez ISAIAH 2:4 AND MICAH 4:3 are almost identical. Since they were contemporaries it is assumed that they were quoting from the same poem. I believe I like Micah a shade better, since the fourth verse adds just a little something not found in Isaiah quote. “And HE shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation neither shall they learn war any more. (4) But they shall sit every man under his own vine and fig tree; and no one shall make them afraid.” It is assumed that from the first gang wars; fought with sticks and stones, no doubt, those who suffered most were eager to negotiate peace terms. What good does war do? As a rule it shows how stupid some of our leaders are. Good? None, unless it makes us work, more fervently for peace. Those ancient prophets of 2500 years ago desired peace, Christ said there would be no peace. Yet, down in our heart we hope it will become a reality. Sword and spear are just toys in a day of such sophisticated weapons that our technology has developed. Can said weapons be converted into farm implements? Where will the metal come from if we have a nuclear war and all iron and steel are atomized? It’s a scary picture. If we cannot have international peace, let us strive for a personal peace. I like that verse in the Holy Writ that goes something like this: “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is ' stayed on Thee.”D MOYERS MOTOR CO.f INC.

ASCS monitoring farm supply problem THE Rappahannock county Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS) office is continuing to monitor area farmer’s supply needs to help alleviate serious problems this fall. J. W. Coates, executive director, says his office has been keeping tabs on local farm fuel and fertilizer supplies since early spring. “We plan to continue these checks on fuel and fertilizer, and we are also monitoring the availability of storage space and transportation equipment to help, where possible, to prevent crop spoilage and losses caused by shortages as harvest progresses. Farmers should report any critical shortages of fuels for crop harvesting and drying and fertilizer for fall application to the county ASCS office. “Some problems can be resolved locally, or through ASCS or State Government. If not, we will immediately report serious shortage problems to Washington where they will be referred to the regulatory agency involved, and to others concerned with helping assure adequate farm supplies.” EVEN though ASCS has no direct authority under the fuel allocation program,' attempts to resolve critical fuel shortages will continue to be made. Farmers should make every effort to obtain supplies before requesting assistance and farmers should not buy more fuel than needed to help assure equitable distribution to all farmers. With regard to fertilizers, Coates said farmers should consider early delivery, on-farm storage and application in fall where possible. With more crop acreage expected in 1974, farmers should deal now to fill their farm’s fertilizer needs, because problems could develop in replenishing local supplies. Farmers should also make every effort to con Mrs. Douglas Hayes of Amissville participated in the Virginia Quarter Horse Association’s Virginia Jamboree show during the weekend in Richmond with her “Charge M.

PEC denounces powerline plans THE PIEDMONT Environmental Council has requested that the State Corporation Commission turn down a request by the Vir, ginia Electric & Power Co., and the Virginia Potomac Edison Co. for permission to blaze new high tension powerline corridors from a generating plant at Mt. Storm, W. Va., through the Northern Piedmont area. The proposed 500,000volt line would pass through Rappahannock, Frederick, Fauquier, Warren and Culpeper Counties, and would end at Morris villein Southern Fauquier. The resolution, approved by the Council’s Board of Directors, will be forwarded to the Commission at Richmond, where hearings on the line are now underway. Noting that the Northern Virginia Piedmont area already is crossed by numerous electric transmission lines, for which the public has paid a high price in. decreased quality of the environment, the resolution says the proposed lines would cross unusually attractive scenic and mountainous areas, including three areas designated by the Virginia Division of State Planning and Community Affairs as critical environmental areas. ^ THE UPPER reaches of the RappahannockRiver, the resolution states, have been specifically designated as worthy of preservation by the Commission of Outdoor Recreation. The resolution states lOoittim i t x, \ j Place Your ^ • Trust In ‘ Experience Our reputation is built on understanding and integrity. Every wish of the family is taken into consideration. Trust us to ease the burden of neces-. sary arrangements with consideration, and in good taste. • GEEST Fuiitral Horn*, Inc. PRIVATE AMBULANCE CEMETERY MEMORIAL m Sptrry.111* Rm4 CaHwpcr, V«. NMW that the Council considers the further decrease in the quality of environment of the Northern Piedmont Region that would result from construction of the proposed lines to be unacceptable in terms of further damage to the natural environment and scenic beauty of the area. The resolution notes that the Interior Department, the Agriculture Department, the Federal Power Commission and the Office of Science and Technology have published environmental guidelines and criteria for electric transmission systems, emphasizing the need for more extensive use of present utility corridors and the upgrading of existing systems. The resolution states that from a review of evidence being presented at the Commission hearing, the additional need for electric energy in Northern Virginia can be met by upgrading, or more extensive use of present transmission rights of way.” MEANWHILE, at Commission hearings last week in Richmond, C. M. Stallings, executive director of power supply and planning for Vepco, was on the witness stand for two days testifying that it would be risky to do what the environmentalists sugge strand use an existing right of way that already contains a 500,000 volt transmission line. Stallings testified that by 1980 if two powerlines occupying a single corridor were knocked out, it could turn off the lights in the entire Southeastern United States. He based this statement, he testified, on the makeup of the national power grid. John F. Kay, Jr., attorney for the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection, argued, however, that studies of max-' imum power loads carried by other power companies does not support the claim by Stallings that there would be a total blackout in the coastal area. STALLINGS testified in response to a question by Kay that Vepco had found alternate transmission routes unusable before deciding on the proposed routes in question. Several additional power company witnesses are scheduled to testify before opposing witnesses are scheduled to take the stand. They will include Fred Chambers, former design engineer for high voltage transmission for the Tennessee Valley Authority; George C. Szego, president of InterTechnology Corp., of Warrenton; William Spencer Smith, director of Jie Citizens Council on Natural Resources, and James Nida, architect. □ Rappahannock "County was well represented at the conference held in Richmond last Friday under the sponsorship of the Conservation Council of Virginia, with assistance from the Central Atlantic Environment Center.

Tour details From Page 1 The old Kitchen is now used as the living room. Large whole logs from the beams in this room and the doors and ceiling are of home grown chestnut. It is furnished with a most interesting collection of furnishings, pictures and objet d’art. THE THIRD house in the old Cary House in Flint Hill, owned and occupied by Mrs. Mary Cleverley. The house was built around 1840 and owned by the Cary family for several generations. “711” is the number that Frank Cary, the former owner, arbitrarily gave to his residence in the village of Flint Hill. It is a threestoried building with two rooms on each floor separated by a central hall. The original basement kitchen is still used in that capacity. The whitewashed stone walls keep this room cool in the summer and the old cooking fireplace warms it in winter. Above on the first floor the main entrance opens directly onto the street. A wide hall leads through to a back door that opens onto a large verandah overlooking the lawns and outbuildings. On either side of the hall are two parlors. Among the furnishings are collections from the late Mr. Cleverley’s travels as director of the Insular and Foreign Operations of the American National Red Cross. This includes a Russian samavor and a woven rush rug that was a gift of the Samoan Red Cross, lots of old china pieces and carvings, needle work and paintings. Also here is an old sea chest and other pieces of furniture that are old, but not so rare.D Local riders do well in show Patty Palmer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Palmer, and Ann Baumgardner, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F.

TERMS: Cash . OWNER: Peggy R. Burke, Boston, Virginia JOHN WALKER JENKINS AUCTIONEER SERVICE Sperryville, Virginia 22740 987-8211 The three-room Amissville school house has been razed to make way for the dual laning of Route 211. The building, on the property acquired by the State for the arterial road system, was burned during the weekend and the debris will be cleared away. Rappahannock Fire Association secured permission to use the structure for training during the weekend fire school just completed. Practical experience was gained by the firemen as techniques in structural fires were applied as the school burned. Along with the building go many memories by some of the elderly citizens of die area who learned their three R’s there. Vandalism From Page 1 over this county that don’t have a license on them. I’m not accusing anyone, but there are a lot of apples tc<vpick, a lot of postholes |o dig, a lot of wire to stretch. Maybe they could expend their energies in a beneficial way.” Manwaring also urged that wrongdoers be required to make ‘‘full restitution” for the damage they cause. “We can’t let them go Scot-free.” It was Manwaring’s theory that much of the vandalism was an “inside job—they had to know where to go. ” He concluded: “I hope everybody will work to tighten up law and order in this county. If we have to quit farmingbecause of this, it will affect the tax base of this county and everyone who lives here. We don’t need all of this provocation (hat goes on all the time in the county. If they don’t want to live here, we might as well invite in the powerlines and the highways because it won’t be the beautiful county we’re so proud of. We’ve got to discontinue this permissiveness that is going on all over the county.” DON’T you think reactivating the' Ku Klux Klan might help?” asked Jock Brown, another member of the audience. “One good hanging would stop it all.” Manwaring said he wouldn’t be prepared to go that far, and “one good load of buckshot and I’ll be put in jail.” Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis thought that “the assumption might be exaggerated, and added that “lawlessness is not confined to Rappahannock County.” Chairman Newbill Miller thought there were suf ficient laws on the books to deal with vandalism, but the problem was in making a solid case. Davis agreed. “It would be impossible to have a police officer at every farm in Rappahannock or the United States.” “But we must do something about it after they’re caught,” Manwaring insisted. “Well, I sort of take issue with you on that,” said George Davis. “The juvenile and domestic relations laws limit what the courts can do to persons under 18. You’d have to go to the General Assembly to correct that.” “THEN WE’D better all get out of agriculture,” said Manwaring, “If all we can do is just say, ‘You be good fellows’.” Supervisor Herbert Foster thought that disciplining parents, too might help. Manwaring thought discipline would be more effective if “applied directly to the .young fellow. As long as the parents pay for it, they go on about their business. “I am really upset. I don’t see why we should rot with the rest of the country.” > As the meeting shifted to other subjects, Sheriff John Walker Jenkins as- ; sured everyone that he was j “doing everything humanly j possible to fight vandalism.” Manwaring assured him that “I’m not pointing a finger at you.”D FALL MEETING The 1973 fall meeting of the Blue Ridge Mountain Estates Civic and Development Corporation will be held at 2:30 p.m. Saturday, October 13 in the Chester Gap fire hall, followed by a dinner served by the Ladies Auxiliary.□ 'roritttoval w IM TUI1TII FRI.-SAT.-SUN.
