Richmond i 9 f y ^. 23219 Gas 'crisis’ felt And Sperryville busi?iessmen 'g(iy it hurts By PEKAY PETTUS TOURIST TRAFFIC is getting scarce on Route 211 as it winds along the south fork of the Thornton River through Sperryville and climbs the mountain up to Panorama. And storekeepers along the route say the gas “crisis” is taking a toll on their sales. The Route 211 shops sell home-grown apples and cider, honey and hams, baskets, mountain crafts, Confederate flags, bird baths and flower pots, tapestry, bedspreads and cement figurines of frogs and chickens, skunks and seahorses, lions and swans. They sell mainly to “metropolitan people,” folks from out of Washington and Baltimore and the Northern Virginia suburbs, who use Route 211 to reach the Skyline Drive and the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. But the “metropolitan people” aren’ t coming, not like they used to, the storekeepers say. If these people continue to stay off the road during ,the usual “tourist season,” things could be bad for Sperryville, The Route 211 tourist business, those few open all year and a score more that open only between April and November, plus the stores in “downtown” Sperryville, comprise the highest density business district in Rappahannock County.

Parkway carries furniture as well as smaller novelties and gifts, and a sign at the entrance promises “We deliver anywhere within 100 miles.” But they have been delivering a lot less. “We used to have three loads a week,” says Betty Nester, “heading into Arlington, Fairfax and Dale City. But our last shipment was the Saturday before Christmas.” Her husband added, “There just aren’t as many people coming through and they aren’t buying as much.” The Parkway Gift Shop complex includes a Gulf station. “We didn’t sell that first Sunday (when the President requested volunatry gas station closings) but we’ve been open ever since,” Nester admitted. Mrs. Nester noted that weekday sales have been affected by the “shortage” too. “My husband and I are the only ones here now. We used to have four other part-time people during the week.” See Page 14 Curtis Nester at Parkway Gift Shop sells gas on Sunday but finds sales in the gift shop are less. Trout license increase SHARPLY rising costs in recent years are adversely affecting the current and future trout production programs in Virginia according to Jack Hoffman, Chief of the Game Commission’s Fish Division. Citing just one example of cost increase, Hoffman stated that the feed which catchable trout must be fed (in the period prior to being stocked in streams) has risen from 12 cents per pound to 22 cents per pound in the period since 1971. In an effort to bring the cost of the trout program more in line with the income realized through the sale of trout licenses, the Commission has proposed an increase in the cost of trout license from $1 to $3 for residents. THE PROPOSED request for an increase in the cost of a trout license is intended to bring trout license revenue more nearly in line with the cost of the trout program. State hatcheries currently produce about 1,000,000 trout at an annual cost of $400,000. Virginia trout fishermen currently purchase about 120,000 trout licenses which produce $120,000 in gross revenue. The difference between this income and the costs is currently being made up with the revenue from the sale of regular State fishing licenses which, for the most part, are purchased by individuals who do not fish for trout. If the trout license fee increase is granted, it will only enable the program to be contined at its present level. Without the increase, curtailments of certain aspects of the program is a certainty, Hoffman said. D

Entered as Second Class Mail at the Post Office in Washington, Virginia. Subscriptions (in advance) $4 in Rappahannock and adjacent counties; $5 in Postal Zones 5 thru 8, MRS. SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 A near miss FROM TIME TO TIME, it’s comforting to , remember that things could be worse. And so it could, for Rappahannock County, a thought generated this week by release of a massive report dealing with a situation in a neighboring county. . 1 The report comprised an “environmental impact statement” on the projected 1-66 extension through Fauquier County, linking presently finished legs of this interstate in Prince William and Warren Counties. What that highway—with its six proposed interchanges—might do to a large section of Fauquier County now zoned “conservation,”.has been the subject of a great deal of concern on the part of public officials and citizens alike, and the “impact statement” was drawn up in response to their concern. But what struck us in reading through the document was the re-statement of a point which many people in this area may have forgotten. Back in 1958, when planning first began for 1-66, it was by no means a sure thing that it would follow its present cours£, parallelling Route 55. Two other alternatives were studied, one following Route 50 in Loudoun County, and the other—you may have remembered by this time—along Route 211 in Rappahannock County! LOOKING EASTWARD AT what 1-66 has already stimulated in Fairfax and Prince William Counties, and sharing our Fauquier neighbors’ concern, it is with a sigh of relief that we can reflect now ' that Rappahannock’s problems could indeed be far more complicated than they are now.D Snead workshop advisor CIRCUIT Judge Rayner V. Snead of Washington, " Va. was one of less than a dozen circuit judges selected to attend a recent national workshop on problems of non-urban courts. This workshop was sponsored by the Institute for Court Management, Denver, Colorado and funded by the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration. Director of the program was Professor Noah Sweat, a former circuit judge and now professor of law at the University of Mississippi Law Center. / . DURING the three and one-half day session, the judges Concentrated on a multitude of problems related to the workings of multi-county and single or several judge district courts with a view to bringing about a more efficient administration of justice. It is anticipated, that as a result of the success of this conference a larger and broader based conference concerned with the same subjects will be scheduled within the next few months.□ Barns The barns in the Slate Mills area always seem to create much interest to readers and response is good. Mrs. Geneva Jenkins of Woodville was selected from the entries to receive the free subscription to the Rappahannock News for correctly identifying the barn as that owned by William Lane, located on Route 707. Others to correctly name the barn were Stoney Frye of Boston, Va.; William Henshaw of Reva; Shirley Green, Culpeper; Russell Roy of Capital Heights, Md.; Mrs. Glenn L. Cave, Boston; Mrs. Barbara Hudson, Woodville. Letters to the editor Scrabble school days Editor: In the January 10 Rappahannock News I became interested and am quite concerned about the article, “What to do with an old school.” I have many sentimental feelings about the old Scrabble School for I was a teacher there in 1924 after graduating from Normal Teachers College at Virginia Union University in Richmond. We were all proud of that new little school then. It is now more than 50 years old. I can remember, the social we had one night to raise money to pay off the last three loans of our parents’ friends who had given to the building fund. Our building fund was matched by the Rosenwald Building Fund for schools at that time. I am lending you two pictures dated December 1924 of the school children and the teachers then. I am left and my cousin, then Sadie Dennis now Mrs. Tom Lynn Jones of Culpeper, is on the right. Very glad they are not going to use the school for a landfill or to allow the fire department to su pervise the burning of the building. It is true time does not stand still and changes come. I am glad the changes are for the better for all concerned. How I wish, the old Scrabble school could be kept for a “landmark” because it represents the closing of an era and the beginning of a new and brighter era for all the people who live there and everywhere. After living in a crowded city so long, reading your paper each week is like a breath of fresh air and See Page 13 Supervisor lauded Editor: Thanks are due you for publishing the reports. However, Col Pete Luke is due an expression of appreciation over and over again! How fortunate we are to have such a “newcomer” to the county. In fact, Pete Luke is the only county official I can recall who attempts via mass media to educate Joe Public on the problems and possible solutions confronting the individual and the community itself. Just recently, I heard a voter from Jackson District raise the question as to whether there was any other supervisor in the state of Virginia who held public meetings of his constituents to explain, discuss, or have an opportunity to express .themselves regarding ordinanc - es, or what have you, which affected their daily lives, economic or social. In my opinion JudgeSnead provided all of Rappahannock County a tremendous benefit when he appointed Col. Luke as a county supervisor. W. H. Lyne Amissville Editor’s Note—In extension of the rhetorical question raised in the third paragraph, we know of one other County Supervisor ih this area who holds more or less regular meetings with his constituents— Frank Raflo, who represents Leesburg on the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors. Good reading Editor: It was surely good to pick up a paper and read something- good. I am referring to' the article on Mutt Atkins: It was a real good reporting job. I get tired of reading; about the same bad news, so this article was a joy to read. Again thanks. The Rev. Maples

F 0 X Judges named for library’s contest By MARY JAMIESON “AN UNUSUALLY distinguished and highly qualified roster of judges,” observed Raymond Williams, regional director of the Virginia State Library, when he was shown the list of county residents who are serving as judges of the Rappahannock Library’s Book Review Contest, which is to begin Saturday, January 26. “These people,” Williams asserted, “put this contest on a high and interesting level. Rappahannock can be proud of the enthusiastic response of its school administrators and faculties to the contest, as well.” James J. Kilpatrick, syndicated columnist and TV Commentator, and Harry Gilroy, for many years book section editor of The New York Times, will be consulting judges for both the elementary and high school contest judges. The roster of high school judges falls into four catagories. For the reviews of Humorus Books, the judges will be Edward Harris, Pulitzer prize-winning journalist, and Waldron O’ Connor, a man whose wit and humor are well-known to his fellow faculty members at St. Albans Cathedral School, Washington, D. C. FOR REVIEWS of Sus: pense and Mystery Books', two omniverous readers of this type of literature will do the evaluating: George E. Muth and Dr. Charles Albright.

This accounted for 692 man hours expended and 4640 miles traveled. An average of three squad members responded to each alert. Fifty of these calls resulted in trips to Warren Memorial Hospital, Front Royal; 18 to Culpeper Memorial; 6 to Winchester Memorial; 6 to Fauquier Hospital, Warrenton; 4 to University of Virginia, Charlottesville and 2 each to veterans hospitals in D.C. and Martinsburg, W.

REPORT ON THE LEGISLATURE BY DEL. D. FRENCH SLAUGHTER, JR. THE GENERAL Assembly last week completed its organization and committees have now begun to hold hearings and consider bills. * My committee assignments are Appropriations, Agriculture, Privileges and Elections, and Nominations and Confirmations. There are the same committees I have served on for the past several sessions. The Appropriations Committee has begun its consideration of the budget and will meet every day until the Budget Bill is sent to the Hoyse of Delegates in the last days of the session. The management of penal institutions/ is one of the pressing problems facing the state at this time. The lack of dicipline and control of the inmates at some of the institutions, particularly the state penitentiary, has created a dangerous condition within the penal system where rehabilitation has become almost impossible and the protection of many of the inmates from violent crimes committed by other inmates has also become very ineffective. Prisons should make every effort at rehabilitation but they must also be operated with the degree of control necessary to protect the public from the escape of dangerous criminals. This can be done consistent with the rights of inmates to fair and humane treatment. It is often overlooked that one of the rights of inmates is the right to be protected from crimes committed by fellow inmates. THE LEGISLATURE has appropriated funds and will certainly appropriate more funds in this session for modernization of penal institutions. The immediate problem is more a problem of management than of money. The management and control of the institutions is an administrative matter. I agree wholeheartedly with Governor Godwin’s measures to bring the penal institutions under effective control. These institutions and the Division of Corrections have not had proper management and under Governor Godwin I expect this situation will soon be corrected. The 5th Thru 12th Graders *350.00 In CASH PRIZES ENTER! Rappahannock Library’s EASY BOOK REVIEW CONTEST Begins januar^ 26 As/c your Teacher for information. Governor has the full support of the legislature in his efforts for reform and control of the penal system. Also, ‘one of the difficulties in the management of the penal institutions was the issuance of a Federal court order last year which gave detailed directions as to what the officials of the penal institutions could and could not do. Fortunately, most of the provisions of this order have now. been revoked by the court, but the situation was aggravated by this action. THE POLICY of giving furloughs to certain inmates was authorized by a law passed by the General Assembly. The intention of this legislation was to allow furloughs to certain inmates who were nearing the end of their prison terms and who had good conduct records in prison. The extremely poor judgement shown by the authorities granting furloughs to inmates who were unsuitable risks has cast doubt over the wisdom of the whole program. Governor Godwin is now reviewing the entire policy and certainly a : ..ricter and more sensible policy should be the result. All of the matters involved in the enforcement of criminal laws, prevention of crime and prison management have concerned, the General Assembly and have been the subject of constructive and detailed studies by the Virginia State Crime Commission which is the permanent legislative study group in GOVERNOR Godwin has recommended a law allowing the imposition^ of the death penalty, in the option of the court or jury trying the case, in cases of murder of a law enforcement officer in his line of duty, murder in connection with rape or arson, and a second conviction for first degree murder. I am in favor of this recommendation and it is hoped that this law will be upheld by the United States Supreme Court which has declared void previous death penalty laws in all states that had such^laws. Next week I will have a similar report on the activities of the 1974 General Assembly. □ DEMONSTRATION SET A demonstration of equipment which will be of interest and importance to members of county fire and rescue units is scheduled for Saturday, January 26 at the Flint Hill firehouse.

Kenneth Robinson says he has been informed that the^ National Park Service is attempting to work out temporary parking improvements in the Nethers area for hikers headed for Old Rag Mountain in Shenandoah National Park. The 7th District Congressman said that Director Ronald H. Walker wrote that “the early services of a landscape architect from our Denver Service Center to determine whether a temporary solution can be effected” had been requested by local and regional Park Service officials. “As you know, it is very difficult terrain, and there does not appear to be any simple solution,” Walker wrote, adding: ‘‘You have our assurance, however, that action is being taken, and we will keep you informed as additional information becomes available.” ROBINSON noted that steadily increasing hiker interest in Old Rag had created a parking problem near Nethers, with cars being parked improperly along the highway, or on private property. Budgetary limitations prevent the Park Service from going forward with major improvements to visitor facilities on park lands at this time, he said.C NOTICE DOG TAGS DUE 1974 Dogs Tags Are Due On Or Before JANUARY 31, 1074 Certificates of Vaccination are required for purchase of tags and all unsexed females must have veterinarian’s certificate so stating.

Randy Carter: The Rappahannock’s friend Randolph H. Carter, 70, of Warrenton died Wednesday at the Fauquier County Hospital after suffering a stroke Friday. Conservationist, local historian, expert “white water” canoeist, and determined foe of the Army Corps of Engineers’ plan for the Salem Church Dam, Carter was unable to launch his canoe this early winter season for runs down the favorite rivers (Thorn ton or Hughes) near Sperry ville. Recent illness had just about forced Randy Carter off the mountain streams he loved, but old friends out for a day’s paddling often found notes on a car windshield or discovered Carter at the end of the run; he wanted to at least hear about the paddling. Randy Carter had just re-finished a conoe he had built in 1931 that had been Randy Carter of Warrenton, white water canoeing expert and foe of the Army Corps of Engineers. MOYERS MOTOR CO., INC.

Main St, Cv/papar, Ko. frayed by the Kelly’s Fords rapids of the Rappahannock near Remington, and he had just sent off to the printers the seventh edition of “White Water Canoeing in Virginia and West Virginia.” Perhaps it has been Randy Carter’s efforts, more than any other person’s that has postponed the building of the Salem Church Dam on the Rappahannock, what Carter called the Corps of Engineers’ “great concrete monument to themselves.” The dam would back water over two day's of paddling on a river unchanged since the days it separated the Union and Confederate armies, would quiet the rapids at the confluence of the Rapidan and Rappahannock, and Kelly’s Ford, ideal white water for the open canoe. Carter s efforts (he attended most every meeting ever called by engineers and politicians about damming the Rappahannock) earned delays, and Randy Carter invariably took those opportunities to paddle individuals undecided about the Salem Dam down through his favorite 3/4 mile rapids at Kelly’s Ford. “The Army Engineer Corps seems to have little concern for the destruction of a beautiful white water river, whose wild beauty was made by God and cannot everry be replaced by man. They are ready to flood our most beautiful river sections in order to build a great concrete monument to themselves. “And right behind them are the Fast Buck Real Estate boys and the fellows waiting to sell the material for the dam, and right behind them are the politicians ready to pour the taxpayers’s money down the drain if it drains into supporters’ backyards,” he wrote in his book on canoeing. You seldom see a copy of Carter’s “White Water Canoeing” that isn’t water-stained. “Randy Carter’s sport and Randy Carter’s rivers” were taught to his close friends,, but the publishing of the guide-, book to canoeists of rough mountain streams began a sport. He made it easy for the beginners. The book told where to begin a day’s paddling, where to take out, describes the rapids and notes the historical points of interest, so the book always rode along in the bow. He saw once private streams transformed to “white water clinics,’’ the water dotted with orange vests and flashing paddles. But he never again attended political meeting about “water, use” without the support of a legion of white water enthusiasts. His old friend Robert F. Turner of The Plains took an annual overnight trip with Carter down the “wilderness section” of the Rappahannock from below Kelly’s Ford to a farm just above Fredericksburg. Canoeists who have pulled into the eddy formed by the point where the Rapidan and Rappahannock converge in a long, wide rapids know the spot as one of Randy Carter’s favorites. In fact, there isn’t a good white water river in Northern Virginia that doesn’t wear one of Carter’s river markers, usually painted on bridge abutments, indicating the level of flow. In his young days exploring Virginia and West Virginia’s wild waters, he ran gorges like Goshen pass, terrible places for novices. He made the mountain people smile. Carter retired from being the Fauquier County Building Inspector in 1970. He is survived by his wife, Marion D., of Warrenton; a son, Randolph Scott, of Warrenton; two daughters, May Carter Savage of Charlotte, N.C., and Lindsay Eastham of Mount Pleasant, Mich.; a sister, Frances Carter Ritter, and a step-son, Buddy Nicklin, both of Warrenton, and a grandson. Graveside services conducted by the Rev. David Greer were held January 18 at the Warrenton Cemetery. □ This Man Has A Person-toPerson Outlook On Life He can plan a life insurance program to fit your personal needs.

You might be listed in the birth announcements of your local paper, then again in the obituary column; the interval in between is what we are concerned about today. Some poet asks “how did you die? Let’s ask ourselves how will we live. This new year will be a period of adjustments. How will we live; will we selfishly store up things and let others suffer or will we use things sparingly and’leave some for the next person. A local prophet has predicted that there will be dire needs, that some will take things by force, that the law of tooth and claw will prevail. Let us hope that it will not be that bad. I think we have just been living too high on the hog, maybe we need to be taught to appreciate the pig footsies and the chit’lings. The Book says that all things work for good to those who love the Lord. Maybe we need to be humbled. And, if worse comes to worse, we will have to make the necessary adjustments. As a people, I don’t think we will take too much greed lying down; so let those who think they can impose on others beware. If the powers that be have determined that these are the ‘end times’, let us as take the advice of Bryant in his Thanatopsis and approach that end— Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.L "“■■"■■■'""CASH AND CARRY 2”x4”-8’ (Precut 92 5/8”) Select Economy, WESTERN RED CEDAR Regular price 95(1 SALE PRICE 66(1 EACH 2”x4”-8’ (Precut 92 5/8”) Select Economy, WHITE FIR End waxed and sealed S4S Regular price 97(1 SALE PRICE 72(!

Looking toward the summer season, when the tourist shops do their heaviest business, Curtis Nester is dismayed. “Either tire gas crisis or the Blue Law is gonna kill us.” Elmer Atkins, proprietor of Elmer’s 66 and Antiques, has also felt the pinch. “Sure, you look for the winter to be tough. But before, you always did business!” He shook his head. Atkins has owned his antique shop eight years. “I could feel this thing coming on back before they started talking about closing on Sunday. Things had dropped off by November 1.” Atkins kept his Phillips 66 station closed the first few Sundays after Nixon’s request, but now he says, “If I’ve got it, I’m going to go ahead and sell it.” Atkins noted that things picked up “slightly” last Sunday, but “compared to November, December, GREATLY REDUCED priced slightly over cost tytt! lust be moved-Seving you money Our Usod Cdr lot is running ovor with GREAT SAViNGS Stop by and toko a look todayl Chevrolet Saving on all 74's Demo's & New Trucks PIEDMONT Chevrolet-Oldsmobile, Inc. 825-2^61 814 N.

Snead returned home this week after visiting her parents Mr. and Mrs. William Doran in Kansas City, Mo. Mrs. John Paulsen of Newport News spent the January last year, we’re still way off.” PHYLLIS SWINDLER manages Country Manor, another open-all-year shop. “Since we just opened in July, I don’t have last winter to compare to, so I really can’t say.” Country Manor sells Texaco gas. They, too, complied with the voluntary closing request at first, but they sell gas now. Danny Hitt of the Sperryville Emporium was more optimistic than his colleagues. “The past couple of weekends our sales have been up to where they are in any other year. People just aren’t believing what they hear. Now four weeks ago, things looked real bad.” A month ago, Hitt noted, “50% drop in people coming through and a 25% drop in sales.” Most customers at the Emporium, like the other shops, are from the Washington metropolitan area, as Hitt sees it, these people will continue to come. “They’re not gonna stay in the city all the time. They have to have a break and go to the country. IN HITT’S opinion, the “crisis” may even ultimately help the Emporium’s business. “The way we figure it,” he said, “people may have to stop driving to Virginia Beach1 or down to the Great Smokies. A lot of the Washington area people may save their gas, their money or their coupons and take close - to - home vacations. Instead of going way off, they might come out on the Skyline Drive a couple of weekends,” he said, adding: “You know Ocean City’s best years were during the war.” But Hitt fears two-day weekend gas station closings. “Now if stations back in the city were to close up on Saturday too, it would knock us in the head.” Currently, he said, Race plans are begun THE FIRST meeting of the Rappahannock Race Committee took place January 15 at Stonehaven, home of Mr. and Mrs. George Muth, Woodville, with Oliver Durant acting as chairman. Nine members of Rappahannock Hunt were present and plans were formulated for a bigger and better Point-to-Point race meeting March 2, on the Thornton Hill Farm at Double Gates, Sperryville, on Route 522. □ ATTENTION PUBLIC AUCTION SALE Saturday, February 2 Tolson’s Handy Market Route 211 east of Amissville • Watch for complete listing n next issue of this newspaper week with her mother Mrs. W.

Now we go every 10 days to two weeks, but we wait until the truck has a full load.” The real crisis hasn’t confronted them yet, Hitt said, making a point in which several other businessmen concurred. “Much of our weekly traffic between April and November is long-range— people from far away like California. I fear we won’t have many of them. But we’ll have to wait until April to tell. “Yeah, things look better, but I’m making no judgement based on four weekends .
