Rappahannock News, November 15, 1973

Volume XXIV, Number 54 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA • THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1973 FIFTEEN CENTS Energy economies recommended Area School Superintendents meet SUPERINTENDENTS of schools from Clarke, Frederick, Shenandoah and Warren - Rappahannock Counties and the City of Winchester met last Friday to consider recommendations to be made to their school boards dealing with the energy crisis. These recommendations will not become official until approval is rendered by the respective school boards. The meeting and the recommendations were prompted by the recent statements from the President, Governor Holton and Virginia Secretary of Education Earl J. Shiflet. It was the opinion of the . area superintendents that if Daylight Savings Time is put into effect on a full time basis, school schedules should be adjusted to prevent students from boarding buses before daylight. Recommendations on modification of school calendars will be withheld for further study until state guidelines are issued. The recommendations are as follows: HEAT — Thermostats in schools and offices to be set at 68 degrees during the day and 65 degrees in late afternoon and evenings. Further adjustments to be made during weekends and holidays depending on the heating system and type of building. Outside doors and windows are to be closed tightly. ELECTRICITY — All lights in classrooms are to be cut off when not needed, during lunch periods, recess periods, and when any space is vacant. Early deadline With the Thanksgiving Holiday next week it will be necessary that all news and advertising copy be u» the office of the Rappahannock News by Monday afternoon in order to meet the early deadline for publishing. □ Reduce wattage in corridors and other large space areas such as auditorium and gymnasium consistent with safety and health and use all appliances economically. Reduce outside lighting consistent with safety practices and adequate protection from vandals and illegal entrance into buildings. EXTRA USE OF BUILDINGS—Limit the number of in-school extracurricular activities which require use of lights and heat beyond the school day. Limit the use of buildings by outof-school groups. Appro val by the school board for all such uses is required. CONSERVATION OF GASOLINE AND OTHER FUELS. Vehicles — All school personnel shall abide by the President’s and Governor’s requests to limit speed ot an puDiic vemcles to 50 m.p.h. Car pools by school employes and students is encouraged. FIELD TRIPS—No field trips outside of the county will be permitted until further notice. All athletic schedules will be reviewed in light of the current fuel crisis. □ STATE CHAMPS Rappahannock High School's Cross Country Team won the single A State Championship in competition Saturday at Williamsburg. This is the third consecutive championship which the Panthers have won in the three years they have had a team. Team members are, left to rigbt, Earl Lilly, John Summers, Bill Taylor, Jerry Thomas, Ronnie Nicholson, Coach John Toth, Harry Jordan and Tom Taylor. Photo By Susan Latham County runners win third title RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY High’s super-duper cross country team captured its third Class A state championship in as many years of competition. The state meet was held Saturday in Williamsburg on a day declared excellent by athletic coaches. The Panthers took the third consecutive championship over the 2.4 mile course with a team score of 26. The second place team, Parry McCluer, compiled a score of 62. A perfect score is 15. For Rappahannock, John Summers was the num ber one man. Others adding points were Jerry Thomas, Ronnie Nicholson, Tom Taylor, Harry Jordan. Earl Lilly and Bill Taylor were in 10th and 15th place, respectively. Parry McCluer had the individual runner in this class, but as a team Rappahannock considerably out-ranked the other single A teams. The excellent coaching of John Toth has the group prepared so a team win does not entirely depend on any individual runner.□

LATJ1AM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Be careful SLIPPERY PAVEMENT, poor visibility and congested highways, especially during holidays, are a triple threat to drivers. “Thanksgiving can coincide with the first winter weather, when neither drivers nor their cars are ready for traveling in that kind of weather,” warns John T. Hanna, director, Highway Safety Division of Virginia. Preparing the car for winter driving is the first step in avoiding accidents. Hanna suggested: “Make sure your car is in good mechanical condition, paying particular attention to those items that affect traction and vision, such as brakes, tires, lights, defroster and windshield wipers. “Good tires with good treads are important year round, but even more so when pavements are slippery. Snow tires can be a real help for driving through snow. Reinforced tire chains are even more effective for driving through severe snow and ice conditions.” POOR VISIBILITY, often associated with winter weather, results from longer hours of darkn&ss, rain, snow, frost, sleet and fog. Drivers should clear the entire windshield, not just apeephole, and the side and rear windows. Visibility to the side and rear is essential in today’s heavy traffic. Streaking windshield wipers should be replaced and the reservoirs checked for an adequate supply of anti-freeze solution.” Finally, Hanna urged drivers to check with the weather bureau before starting out on an extended trip. “If the weather is already bad and reports indicate more of the same is expected, think twice before starting out and subjecting your family to the possibility of a serious accident.”D Sperryville Rescue Squad thanked Editor: The following letter was received by Mrs. Cecil B. Baldwin, and the Sperryville Rescue Squad, after the traffic accident in Rappahannock County on October 20 in which two people were killed: “Mrs. Rautenberg and I brought Ellen home last Saturday. She is continuing to make excellent progress. “My wife and I want to express to you, and everyone connected with the Sperryville Rescue Squad, our sincere thanks and gratitude. Your outstanding work with Ellen and your promptness in getting her to the Culpeper Hospital had a great deal to do with the fact that we have Ellen alive and well and on the road to recovery. ^ “My experience with you and all the other wonderful people in Sperryville has really renewed my faith in human beings in this time when skepticism is so rampant in our country. Our experience with everyone in Virginia is almost too good to be true, but it is. Enclosed, please find our contribution as a small token of our gratitude to the Sperryville Rescue Squad. Leonard J.

Letters to the Editor Too much about dogs Editor: I usually look forward to reading The Rappahannock News, but the November 8 issue was a disappointment, to say the least. I agree that the Supervisors’ meetings are important to everyone in did county, and I think the increased coverage is a good idea. But two pages of casual conversation about several years of dog license history is only a waste of newsprint. If all the Supervisors did at their meeting was talk about dog licenses (as it appears), they did not, in my opinion, deserve two pages of rambling quotes. All they actually did was to vote to hold a hearing on the question of raising dog license fees at the next meeting, which could have been summarized in a paragraph or two. A notice that copies of the new zoning ordinances are on sale was worth a paragraph. 1 would rather have seen a summary, in layman’s terms, of the zoning changes recently passed by the Supervisors. I’m convinced no one knows exactly what is buried in all the legal language of the two-dollar publication. I am glad to see that the RCHS Cross Country team has had no lack of coverage. This is a group that really deserves it. Bill Kilby Charlottesville On controlling dogs Editor: I have just read your excellent article on the “dog problem” in Rappahannock County. I believe Col. Luke’s proposal to increase the dog tax is certainly called for. I hardly think the average dog owner would complain about a necessary increase, which this certainly is. However, I feel the proposed kennel rate of $30 and $50 are much too low. Owners with 25 and 50 dogs either have an extreme luxury that deserves a higher tax or are in a business of sorts and should write off a higher tax as overhead. There will no doubt be a ruckus, again, from German Shepherd owners, and they seem to be numerous, for singling out their breed for a higher tax rate. We have all known a mean German Shepherd, but a few mean terriers and hounds, too. Perhaps a calltoAKC in New York would get an answer to the eternal question, “Are German Shepherds inherently more apt to attack stock than other breeds?” The present dog warden, Jack Bruce, is known in this county as a dog-lover who goes beyond the official call of duty and certainly beyond his meagre official funds to care for the 250-300 dogs he has to pick up each year. He has had to assume his own regulation and information programs regarding adoption. He is to be lauded for his work, especially in light of the fact that his salary had not been paid in eight months. His salary should take precedent over livestock claims, which should be handled by individual insurance policies, anyway. Definitely we should investigate a program (The Rappahannock News could help here) to coax the average dog owner (i.e., the one whose dog is strictly a pet, not for show or hunting) to have the family pets neutered. But 1 am afraid Chairman Miller was right when he said, "When you are talking about dogs, you’re talking about family.” Unfortunately, we have gotten our dogs’ identities all messed up with our own. Since most of us would suffer ego collapse if we were neutered, we attach the same mental feelings to our dogs. Many people regard their dogs with subconcious envy that they are freespirited, cavalier wanderers. Since we cannot, within the confines of society’s rules, roam the countryside striking up relationships with no strings attached, we let our alterSee Page 3 C

T H E L I T T L E F 0 X Minor traffic accidents are reported Traffic crashes occurring in recent days have been minor with little or no injury. Property damage has not been extensive. At 5 a.m. November 8, three miles west of Sperryville on Route 211 Willie Frank Pouncey of Luray crashed into a tree. Pouncey was operating a 67 Ford station wagon and the lights went out, according to Trooper W.A. Bun tin. He lost control of the vehicle and struck a tree. Later the same day on Route 211 three miles west of Amissville, Samuel Shepherd Biggs of Sperry ville ran off the right of the road, struck the bank and over turned. He was driving a 64 Chevrolet station wagon. Damage was estimated at $700 byTropper Buntin who charged Biggs with reckless driving. Biggs was not injured. Trooper G.F. Gregory investigated a two-vehicle collision Wednesday morning on Route 522 south of Huntly. Involved were Asa Collins Ryalls of Bybee in a 72 Ford and Albert Carter Jett of Huntly driving a 69 Ford. v Jett pulled onto the highway from a side road into Letters to the Editor From Page 2 ego, the dog, fulfill this fantasy. If the public were alerted to the facts that the neutered dog is a better pet, does not get fatc(with normal exercise) and will not harbor ill feelings toward the owner (except from abuse, which neutering isn’t), then perhaps the pet population crisis might be curbed. The “backyard breeder”—the one out for a quick $50 per pup with no regard for breed standards — and the “home breeder”—the one who regards his pure or ^jpced pet as too special not to be repeated—need regulation. This regulation can come in the form of higher dog taxes and, hopefully, scornful looks from his neighbors. By the same token, those with a neutered pet (male or female) should receive a tax break, for they are part of the solution, not the problem. Front Royal has a fantastic humane shelter as We Can Supply All Your BUILDING 'NEEDS ^ CULPEPER BUILDING 6 SUPPLY CORP. Phone VA5-8383 Culpeper a result of the great humanitarian, Julie Wagonner, a resident who left funds to establish it. Apparently, Rappahannock has no such benefactors, but it does have good people who throw their all into worthy causes. I believe an appropriately equipped shelter would encourage the cit izen who has received an unwanted litter, or an increasingly frequent “Washington drop-off” to get these roaming un want - eds out of the woods and the stock fields. People would feel better (and this is important because we are dealing with identity hang-ups again) taking a litter or a stray to a clean, staffed shelter where it would have a chance for adoption or, at least, a “putting to sleep.” It seems unlikely that the Board of Supervisors will, or is able to, fully fund such a shelter. But we ; have people who have long nurtured concern for animals and a willingness to work for a good cause. A worthwhile conversation to have at your next meeting or gathering would be on the establishment of a shelter. People who care about animals—unite now into action! A society that cannot show practical compassion for its lesser members is a shallow one. George Graham Sharp Rock Farm Peola Mills the path of Ryalls. Jett was cited for failing to yield the right of way. A single car crash west of Sperryville Sunday afternoon resulted in slight injury to one person and damage estimated at two thousand dollars to a 73 Toyota. Trooper S. W. Weatherholtz investigated the crash involving Gary Wesley Pangle of Annandale who was adjusting his tape player when he ran off the right of the road, struck a box culvert and turned over. Pangle was cited for reckless driving. Injured in the crash was a passenger, Beth Raeder of Annandale, who sustained lacerations of the right hand and forehead. □ Howell backer protests Editor: In your pre-election issue you carried a news story which stated, if I remember correctly, that there appeared to be virtually no support for Henry Howell for Governor in Rappahannock County and that just about everyone was for Godwin. As it turned out, out of 1,136 votes locally for the Governorship, Howell was supported by 503 Rappahannock residents, and Godwin’s victory was a narrow one. The breakdown, in fact, showed that Howell won by the whopping majority of 66 to 12 in Chester Gap, and lost by only a few votes in Flint Hill and Amissville, and by only 26 votes in Washington itself. Only in Woodville and Sperryville voting areas did Godwin win handily. Your attempt at an objective news report prior to the election quite obviously was far off the mark. Its effect—unintentionally of course—may well have been to dampen final support for Howell among the undecided voters (there appeared to be an unusually large number according to statewide polls). I am sure whoever wrote the story tried to do a good job, but it was not only wholly inaccurate but might as well have been a handout from Godwin headquarters. Since nearly half the voters here did support Henry Howell, one naturally wonders where your reporter went for his information—I mean, his misinformation.

New Social Security program explained SEVERAL persons in Rappahannock County have applied for Supplemental Security Income payments, the Federal program starting in January that will establish a nationally uniform income floor for people with little or no income who are 65 or over, or blind, or disabled. The Winchester office is taking applications now from people who aren’t getting State public assistance payments but who think they may be eligible for Supplemental Security Income, according to Mrs. Hazel F. Crumpton, Social Security District Manager in Winchester.

In order to establish that items owned are under this basic level, persons applying should bring along proof of savings and checking accounts balances. Also, they should be prepared to furnish information regarding value of property owned, cars registered in their names, value of insurance policies and other valuables. The Federal Government will not place liens on property in order to make persons eligible for this program. □ These young models from Amissville presented a dress revue in conjunction with Homemakers Achievement Night Monday at Flint Hill.

PRIVATE AMBULANCE CEMETERY MEMORIAL 4M IpwpR RmA Cilpwr, Vt. UMM Conserve electricity AS PART of the national effort to conserve vital fuel resources in the coming winter months, Potomac Edison has issued an appeal to reduce energy use wherever possible, including decorative Christmas lighting. C.I. Cather, Jr. division manager, said that because of the seriousness of the fuel shortage in many parts of the nation, “it is imperative that we all take appropriate steps to eliminate unnecessary uses of energy in all its forms.” “The winter season usually results in heavier electrical load than any other time of year, and a contributing factor is Christmas holiday lighting,” Cather said. Potomac Edison is preparing a special pamphlet for customers offering tips on holiday decorations that do not require lighting, and suggestions on how to reduce lighting requirements. AMONG THE suggestions offered are to install fewer lighting displays, delay installation or “startup” of lighted displays, and restrict the number of “burning” hours. The pamphlets will be available to all customers at PE offices in about a week Cather said.D HARVEST SUPPER Forest Grove Baptist Church is sponsoring its annual Harvest Supper on November 17 from 5 to 9 p. m. at the old Forest Grove school building.

Powerline fight is called promising AREA efforts to prevent the Virginia Electric and Power Company from constructing new high voltage powerlines are “looking good,” says Phil Irwin, a representative of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection, Inc. Irwin, who has beenpresent at all Vepco hearings before the Virginia State Corporation Commission, said a "fine case to support the concept of using existing corridors rather than unspoiled landscape for new powerlines” has been made by powerline opponents. The Commission has set December 17-21 for rebuttal testimony and for testimony by the Commission staff, and has reserved five days in early 1974 to “wind up the case.” AT RECENT hearings in Richmond, three League witnesses disputed Vepco claims - that alternate routes proposed by environmentalists would greately increase construction Fred Chambers, deputy director of the Power Division of the New York Public Service Commission, testified that he would be “surprised” if the routes now proposed Dy vepcoare rated best by an independent study of alternate routes now being prepared by SCC staff members. And Allen Turner, a real estate appraiser from Arlington, testified that if Vepco builds the proposed line parallel with existing lines, the company would save 50 percent of the costs of cutting through virgin territory. UUKINli Tills testimony, Irwin produced aerial photographs showing the Vepco proposed route and alternates suggested by the League. A computer-study, now being made at V.P.I. in an effort to pick the best route for the proposed line, is expected to be ready by mid December, and meanwhile, a report by the SCC staff is expected Nov 15.□ SALE DATES NOV.12 thru 17 • SPECIAL ATTRACTIONS • FREE GIFT!

DESIGNS ARE also being considered to expand surgery, emergency room, laboratory, radiology, physical therapy and dietary facilities. <c Additional services of an outpatient surgical facility, and the development of an Inhalation Therapy and Pulmonary Function Program are being considered. THE HOSPITAL is negotiating for a Renal Dialysis Unit (for treatment of kidney diseases), which would be the only such unit between Arlington Hospital and University of Virginia Hospital, Greene said. The funding of the $5.9 million expansion program will be through the issuance of tax-free hospital bonds, marketed by the Fauquier County Industrial Authority. In July of 1972 the Board of Trustees of the hospital contracted the Alexandria planning firm of Vosbeck, Vosbeck, Kendrick and Redinger to develop a longrange master plan for the hospital. The expansion plans grew out of this study. FAUQUIER HOSPITAL opened its doors December 28, 1958, and had one 28-bed addition constructed in 1969. The annual “patient-day level” of 1972 was approximately 25,000 and is projected to grow to 42,000 by 1982. Projected bed needs are expected to grow from the 1972 level of 90 beds to 125 beds by 1976 to 150 beds by 1982, Green said. Because of the expansion, the average total cost to the patient will be increases approximately $20 per day. In spite of the increase the Fauquier Hospital’s per patient day cost will continue to be one of the lowest in the area.

Mr. and Mrs. Billy Brown of Petersburg were Saturday visitors of Mr. and Mrs. Joel Baczewitz and children Gregg and Philip. □ Brenda Jett Si Sez IN THE FOURTEENTH CHAPTER of Luke Jesus says: “When you put on a dinner, don’t invite friends, relatives, and rich neighbors, for they will return the invitation. Instead, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind. Then at the resurrection of the Godly, God will reward you for inviting those who can’t repay you.” Is that a form of sharing with those classed as the “have-nots”? In a recent article I’m afraid I stepped on some toes. It seems that in the approach to some of park areas one has to go over private property. Now, I do not advocate the abuse of another’s property. My contention is that the park commission should provide access to parks. I had a fellow in my crew who was constantly praising his wife’s lovely singing voice. I asked him why she didn’t have some recordings made so that others could enjoy it. He replied that she thought it was a gift of God and she did not want to commercialize it. I told him that if God had bestowed such a gift on her she should share it. He seemed to take that under consideration; but I’ve never received a recording. One time while involved in a wreck, there was no food available but a small can of beans that one fellow had brought as part of his lunch. Well, he opened that can of beans and shared it with a starving crew; just about one spoonful each. I never knew beans had such a delectable flavor. Christ said that giving is better than receiving.

T. R. Taylor, chairman of the Rappahannock Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation (ASC) Committee, said USDA agencies have been asked by Secretary of Agriculture Earl L. Butz to give “first priority” to helping farm Teachers meet The Retired Teachers Association of Rappahannock met at 1 p.m. Tuesday at the home of Mrs. W.H. Lyne near Washington. Mrs. Lyne served a luncheon to the group, which included a dozen members. Guests present were Mrs. Hoagland, president of District N Teachers Association and Mrs. Tucker, secretary-treasurer of the district group. They are from Winchester. Mrs. Gertrude Hillery of Culpeper was also present. C REVIVAL PLANNED _ A revival will be held at Gid Brown Bible Church November 19 through November 25 nightly at 7:30. Pastor Ed Morgan of Athen, W. Va. will be the speaker. Everyone is welcome. □ CARD OF THANKS The Ladies Auxiliary to the Washington Volunteer Fire Dept, and Rescue Squad wants to thank everyone who gave and bought articles at its yearly Thrift Shop. The shop is open April through October each year and this year $1,414 was made. We want also to thank Mr. R.O. Bridges for the use of the store building. Thank you wonderful people from the bottom of our hearts for making our Shop successful. Mary Ellen Burke, Chairman Ruth Clark, President ers and ranchers with their conservation plans. Taylor noted that Secretary Butz, in a recent statement, said: “As the No. 1 guardians of the nation’s natural resources, farmers have a responsibility to themselves and future generations to use the soil wisely. Farmers have made great progress in the last 35 years in conservation farming, and with good planning they can meet the increased demand for food in 1974 without stepping backwards.’’ FARMERS are expected to bring several million acres of former “setaside” land back into crop production in 1974, as they did in 1973, to meet in creased demand for agricultural commodities, and we anticipate that many producers will farm more intensively. In providing an opportunity for farmers to produce in accordance with market demand virtually all farm program restrictions have been lifted, but certain environmental factors are a part of the program. For example, commodity programs announced for 1974 provide an incentive for farmers to maintain land in conserving use for haying or grazing by qualifying vegetative cover in preserving a farm’s allotment history. Also, producers who received cost sharing assistance in es tablishing or improving permannent grass cover are reminded that they must maintain the cover for three years following the year in which the practice was carried out. Failure to maintain the cover will require a refund bf practice payments. TAYLOR offered the following basic recommendations to farmers putting more land into production in 1974: 1. Select the most promising land for more intensive farming. 2. Develop or update conservation plans for farmed acreage and apply soil and water conservation practices on a schedule. 3. Use crop production practices that will minimize erosion, such as minimum tillage. 4. Leave in grass and trees land not suited for intensive use. Taylor also noted that he expects specific program information on reinstatement of the conservation cost-sharing program, REAP, for 1974, which will be for permanent-type conservation practices, and the phasing in of long-term conservation cost-sharing agreements, to be announced later this year. Producers will receive details on the program from their county ASCS office as soon as the information becomes available. □ 3 DAYS-TODAY, FRIDAY & SATURDAY ALL DIAMONDS 25 % OFF YOUR CHOICE ALL LUGGAGE, STAINLESS, SILVERPLATE & TABLEWARE & HOLLOW ARE 10% OFF Dear Friends: In appreciation for your continued patronage during the year, it gives me great pleasure to offer again this year a preChristmas discount sale.

Albert Hawley Lucas, 78, a former headmaster of St. Albans School in Washington, died last Saturday at his home near Huntly in Rappahannock County following a long illness. Funeral services, conducted by the Rev. John A. Baden, Suffragan Bishop of Virginia, were held Tuesday, November 13, at 11 a.m. at Calvary Episcopal Church in Front Royal. Dr. Lucas, who served as St. Albans headmaster from 1929 to 1949, was credited with changing the atmosphere of St. Albans, the National Cathedral School for Boys, from a typical English school to a more open and relaxed institution. During his tenure the school doubled its enrollment. Dr. Lucas went to St. Albans from Philadelphia where he was assistant rector of St. James Episcopal Church and assistant headmaster and chaplain of Episcopal Academy. He became a canon of the Washington Cathedral in 1932. Earlier, in 1917, after resigning from Berkeley Divinity School in New Haven, he entered the Marine Corps, and later, as headmaster of St. Albans, he was known by the students as “the chief.” He also had been given the nickname of “Holy Al,” a holdover from his Marine days. DR. LUCAS was born in Gibbsboro, N. J. He attended Episcopal Academy in Philadelphia and was graduated from the University of Pennsylvania. He returned to Berkeley Divinity School after World War 1, and was graduated in 1920. When he resigned from St. Albans, Dr. Lucas was asked to become Archdeacon of Maryland, and in 1955 he took charge of St. Johns Episcopal Church in Hagerstown. He served as dean of the Philadelphia Divinity School from 1958 until 1961. Survivors include his widow, the former Lelia Gordon Noyes, widow of Newbold Noyes, associate editor of the old Washington Evening Star; two daughters, Mrs. James H.Mcquinn of Philadelphia, and Mrs. Gerard lonachel of Paris and New York; two sons, the Rev. Albert Lucas, rector of St. Albans Church in Simsbury, Conn., and George Rodman Lucas, director of reconstruction for the Electric Boat Co., of Groton, Conn., and a stepson, Newbold Noyes, editor of the Washington Star-News.□ Clark Funeral services for Eddie Jackson Clark, 82. of Washington, Ya. were held Friday at Reynolds Memorial Baptist Church in Sperryville conducted by the Rev. Ronald Wiley. Burial was in Sperryville Cemetery. He was the son of the late Andrew J. Clark and Isabelle Pullen Clark. A veteran of World War 1. Mr. Clarke was a retired farmer.

Virginians warned of mail ‘come-ons VIRGINIANS should beware of “too good to be :ure” mail solicitations of vacation sweepstakes and/ ar treasure chests promotions, the Office of Consumer Affairs, Virginia Department of Agriculture, advises. In the usual case of the mail sweepstakes swindle, no contest or sweepstakes of any kind has been conducted. The promoter has simply taken an entire mailing list and sent promotion letters to every name, informing each recepient that he is a “winner.” In reality, the promoter is in the business of selling the items involved— usually some form oftreasure chest or a sewing machine. The promoter uses these false contest letters and offers of prizes to induce such sales. Although all of these promotions require the recipient to pay a registration fee before he receives any prize, there are different deceptive practices associated with the varying kinds of prizes that are offered. In a typical case, a citizen receives a letter saying he is a “sweepstakes winner.” The only thing he is required to do is pay an $18 registration fee which would entitle him to receive a treasure chest full DOG TAG ORDINANCE RESOLUTION Pursuant to the authority granted the County of Rappahannoek by Section 29-184.2 of the 1950 Code of Virginia, as amended, to levy license tax on dogs and in accordance with Chapter 304, Acts of the General Assembly of Virginia, approved March 30, 1942, at page 428, (H B 432), and upon motion of E. P. Luke, seconded by J. R. Latham and passed, the following resolution is proposed for adoption at the next regular meeting of the Board of Supervisors of Rappahannock County on December 6, 1973, commencing at 10:00 A.M.: BE IT ORDAINED, by the Board of Supervisors, that the Dog License Tax Ordinance of Rappahannock County be superceded and reenacted as follows: SECTION 1. It shall be unlawful for any person to own or keep a dog six (6) months old or over in Rappahannock County unless such dog is licensed, as required by the provisions of this ordinance. Dog licenses shall run for the calendar year, namely, from January 1 until December 31, inclusive, and the license tax shall be paid at the office of the Treasurer. .SECTION 2. It shall be unlawful for any person to import into, or to breed within, the County of Rappahannock, any German or Belgian Shepherd or any other dog having one-fourth or more of the blood of either of them, without'obtaining the license hereinafter provided for. SECTION 3. Each and every person owning any such dog of the breed, or blood mentioned in Section 2 of the ordinance, within the County of Rappahannock, shall after January the first, nineteen hundred and seventy-four, procure from the county treasurer a special license for such dog to be in lieu of all other licenses on such dogs, the tax on which special licenses shall be as follows: (a) For a female, ten dollars ($10.00) (b) For a male, five dollars ($5.00) ^ (c) For an unsexed female, provided such female is successfully spayed as shown by a veternarian’s certificate presented to the Treasurer, five dollars ($5.00). SECTION 4. Each and every person owning any dog other than the breed or blood mentioned in Section 2 of this ordinance within the County of Rappahannock, shall after January 1, 1974, procure from the County Treasurer a license for such dog, the tax on which shall be as follows: (a) For a female, five dollars ($5.00) (b) For a male, three dollars ($3.00) (c) For an unsexed female, provided such female is successfully spayed as shown by a veteraarian’s certificate presented to the Treasurer, three dollars ($3.00). (d) Kennel, for 15 dogs, thirty dollars (JJU.uu;. (e) Kennel, for 25 dogs, fifty dollars ($50.00). SECTION 5. Upon the application for any such dog license and the payment of the amount of the tax thereon, as fixed by this ordinance, the Treasurer shall issue in triplicate and deliver his receipt therefor to the applicant and a duplicate thereof to the dog warden, setting out therein the date of payment, the year for which paid, and the sex and breed of the dog, and shall furnish to the owner of the dog a metal license tag to be provided by the Board of Supervisors of the County, of such form and design as the board may adopt, the serial number of which tag shall be set out in said receipt. SECTION 6. Any person owning or keeping any such dog within the County of Rappahannock without having paid the license tax thereon and secured a metal tag for such dog, as prescribed by this ordinance, shall be required to forthwith procure such license for said dog, or, at his option, permit the dog warden to kill the dog, which the dog warden shall forthwith do if such license be not paid; and the dog warden shall kill any such dog, of unknown ownership, found running at large on which such license has not been paid. SECTION 7. Provided however, that nothing in this ordinance shall apply to any dog owned and used, or used, by a blind person as a guide dog. An emergency existing, this ordinance shall become effective upon its passage. A Copy'Testee: E. M. Jones, Clerk of expensive household items, or possibly a $100 certificate towards a sewing machine, or a free trip to Disney World or other vacation area. THE FIRST difficulty treasure chests is that they frequently are not received at all! A second problem is that the value of the contents of the chest is far below that represented in the contest letter. These products are not donated by the manufacturers as part of their marketing programs as the promotional letter often states, but rather are purchased by the promoter at a cost substantially below the registration fee charged. With the typical $100 discount certificate towards the purchase of a sewing machine, the product is said to have a value of $169.50. With the certificate deducted, the winner would have to pay only $69.50 for the machine. But in reality, the regular price of the sewing machine is only $69.50making the discount certificate worth nothing. The representations made with regard to “free vacations” are even more deceptive than those relating to the treasure chests and discount certificates on sewing machines. These letters usually give the impression that the “winner” will receive a free motel room (usually in either Florida or Nevada) within minutes of a large number of rec reational areas. Actually, lodgings are frequently located a considerable distance from the recreational area involved. MORE significantly, nothing is said in the promotional letter about the fact that the motel rooms are available only during limited periods of the year. And in many cases, once the “winner” arrives at his motel, he will be confronted by persons selling undeveloped land in the vicinity of the “free vacation” site. Consumers should check with their local consumer protection agency, Better Business Bureau, or the State Office of Consumer Affairs in Richmond before accepting mail solicitation offers such as those mentioned above.□ Highway fatalities are up VIRGINIA’S traffic deaths for the first nine months of 1973 numbered a tentative 925, or nine more than the 916 for the same period of 1972, says Colonel H.W. Burgess, Superintendent of State Police. Colonel Burgess said he used the word “tentative” because the 1973 figure is certain to be revised upward slightly due to late reports and deaths of persons now carried as injured. Noting that traffic volumes were up some 6.5 percent, he said' he still had every hope for an over all reduction at the end of the year. Deaths of pedestrians were down from 154 to 140, those of motorcyclists from 53 to 50 and those of servicemen from 48 to 29. AN ADVERSE factor, he said, was a total of 226 deaths in those crashes killing more than one person each. This total is nine more than its 1972 correspondent. Other adverse factors were an all time high May score of 122 and the second highest recorded June toll of 129. Livestock, poultry law hearing scheduled THE VIRGINIA State Board of Agriculture and Commerce will hold a public hearing at 10 a.m. Wednesday, November 21, to consider proposed rules and regulations under the Virginia Livestock and Poultry Law. The hearing will be held in the fourth floor conference room of the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Commerce, 203 Governor Street, Richmond. The proposed regulations, if passed by tlje Board, would give the State Veterinarian increased authority over animal health and sanitation in Virginia livestock markets. Additionally, the regulations deal with proper identification of livestock, and the restriction on movement of cattle, hogs, sheep, and goats for slaughter. ALL INTERESTED persons are invited to attend the November 21 public hearing and present views on the proposed regulations or to submit written comments in advance of the hearing. Copies of the proposed rules and regulations may be obtained from the Division of Animal Health and Dairies, Virginia Department of Agriculture and Commerce, 1444 East Main Street, Richmond 23219. The Board will also meet in Richmond on Tuesday, November 20—the day before the public hearing— for a business session.□ “It is tragic to review the official crash reports,” he said in closing, “and see that slower speeds and better driver attention could have prevented so many of these deaths. ”C NOW THRU SATURDAY Evenings at 7 & 9:15 Matinee Sat. at 2 p.m. “DAZZLING" -LIFE SUN.-MON.-TUES.
