LIBRARY RICHMOND 19, VA. 23219 ixappediatuuirkKcuuT Volume XXV, Number 13 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA • THURSDAY, JANUARY 31, 1974 FIFTEEN CENTS Zoning, subdivision changes weighed BY PEKAY PETTUS RAPPAHANNOCK’S Planners have held two work sessions during the past week to prepare the county’s new subdivision and zoning ordinances for public hearings and final passage. The same topics came up at both meetings. The planners agreed Monday night to add a “clarification” on the relocation of non-conforming structures. Fanning Baumgardner had asked last week that the clarification be included. The new ordinance does not allow trailers in the county except in a trailer park. However, there are a number of individual trailers in Rappahannock County that are considered “legal” because they were in place before the first county zoning ordinance was passed in 1962. As Baumgardner explained it: “These old trailers could become premium value. Some people understand that they could buy one of these an locate it on any lot they want, thus getting around the requirement that it would have to be in a trailer park.” COMMONWEALTH’S Attorney George Davis disagreed with Baumgardner’s request for the clarification. It would only make the ordinance more “ambigous,” he argued. “It’s clear enough now that moving the trailer would be illegal. This ordinance is already written in high school language; do you really want to put it in grade school language?” “The major complaint I hear about the^ordinance is that it’s hard to understand,” Baumgardner said. “This is one place we could make it clear. I think we ought to try to do that as Among those on the steering committee for organization and establishment of a Rappahannock County Youth Center were Granville Eastham, Rappley Owings, George Graham, Julian Brown, Roger Flinchum and Col. Dale Metzinger. These leaders directed and conducted the open meeting held Monday at the elementary school with area citizens. Youth Center experiences are related YOUNG people who are officers in the Front Royal Youth Center attended a meeting Monday night at the local elementary school to inform Rappahannock residents interested in creating a local center of the good and bad prospects of organization. Joe Ellis, president of the Warren County group, explained that since the construction and formation of the center there, it is financed through memberships at$3.50 per member per year and additional fees are charged for weekend and special activities. The Recreation Association of that county pays for utilities. The building was constructed from pledges by county citizens, and prior to the erection of the present building the center was located in an old house which had been available at the time. Pledges have paid for all except $10,000 which the Town of Front Royal provided. INTEREST in a youth center for Rappahannock has been broached by various groups and is presently being pursued by 4he County Education Association and other citizens acting as a steering committee. Other officers speaking were Denise Duncan, Terry Shiflett, and Virginia Perry. They were accompanied by the manager of the Youth Center, Raymond Santmyer. Santmyer is a paid administrator and he and his wife are often chaperones at the center which provides ping pong tables, pool tables, pinball machines and a dance about twice each month featuring a band. A TV lounge is included and tables for studying or preparing lessons are provided. THE BUILDING is also rented out for other activities on occasion and DMV uses it during the daytime. “Few problems have been encountered as far as deportment is concerned,” said Mr. Santmyer. “We have rules which are See Page 6 HISTORICAL SOCIETY The Rappahannock Historical Society will hold its annual meeting on Friday evening, February 1, to discuss projects for the coming year.

I realize sometimes lawyers don’t do it that way. I think it oughta go in.” Baumgardner was firm. PLANNING Commission Chairman Herbert Barksdale agreed with Baumgardner. “I don’t see how it can do any harm to have it in there. If it might See Page 4 Sperryville by-pass plan is opposed A RESOLUTION SUPPORTING “Line A” to just widen Route 211 through Sperryville, instead of building a by-pass, was approved-jay the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission last Thursday. The Planning District Commission, which includes representatives from Rappahannock, Fauquier and Orange Counties, was asked by the state Highway Department to comment on the Sperryville by-pass plans. The Highway Department plans to four-lane Route 211 from the Page County line either through or around Sperryville. The state cannot four-lane the road through Page county in the Shenandoah National Forest; park rules won’t let them. Rappahannock Supervisor and Planning District Commission member Pete Luke said it all was a question of where the “bottleneck” should be. He said if the Sperryville by-pass is built, the bottleneck would be in the national park, but if it’s not built and the road is just “improved” through Sperryville, the bottleneck would actually benefit Sperryville’s tourist business. LUKE SAID THE PEOPLE of Rappahannock and Sperryville- want to keep the area rural. “There’s already enough roads going to the valley,” said Luke, “Route 211 just goes to Luray.” Luke said the planned limited access by-pass would “cut the town apart” and “dry it up.” The Planning District Commission voted to support Luke, by recommending to the state to build Line A.D

LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Ray of ‘sunshine’ CHARLIE WADDELL was pretty good about wanting to keep closed door meetings to a minimum, when he was serving as a Loudoun County Supervisor, and now he is co-sponsor of a proposed “Government in the Sunshine” law for Virginia which, he says, would be a lot tougher on closeddoor meetings than the state’s existing Freedom of Information law. His description of the law’s major provisions do, indeed, seem better than the loophole-ridden FOI statute now on the books, and we wish it success. We would merely suggest that even “delicate and sensitive personnel matters” be stricken from the reasons for public bodies closing their doors on the public. It’s been our observation tnat lew matters aie su iuuuy that the public can’t be let in on what is happening. After all, these “personnel” are dealing with the public’s business; if they can’t stand the glare of public exposure, then maybe they’re in the wrong business. It’s always been a great mystery to this newspaper, anyway, why so many public officials want to conduct the public’s business behind closed doors. The timely, cynical thing would be to mention a word like “Watergate,” and wink knowingly. But we aren’t prepared to go that far in our attitude toward local officials. We aren’t, that is, unless they keep on trying to conduct much of the public’s business in private. □ Cubs tour Dulles THE Rappahannock Cub Scout Pack 123 with dens in Woodville and Washington, accompanied by several adults, spent Saturday touring Dulles International Airport at Chantilly. They had a special guide, William Bear of Washington, Va., who is an airlines flight dispatcher, and who also has a son in the Scout Pack. The group received a detailed tour of the dispatch office and learned about flight plans, weather and related subjects. They were taken through a jet plane, a DC-8, on the airport runway. There was some concern by the young sters that they wouldn’t get off before it became airborne. MAKING the trip were Mrs. Robert ClatterbucK and Sammie, Mrs. James Bywaters and Jimmy of Flint Hill; Downing McCoy, Tommie Walters, Mrs. Sam Aylor and Vince Aylor, Mrs. William Aylor, Gary Smoot, Miss Betty Jenkins, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Jenkins, Janet Mar-Lene and Joe, Mrs. William Bear, Eric and Chad, all of Washington; Mrs. Joel Daczewitz, Gregg and Philip, Curtis Crawford, Ray Crawford, Mrs. W.

Letter to the editor House trailer question asked Editor: From childhood many of us recall the story about the want of a nail causing a horse’s shoe, and subsequently a nation, to be lost. True, then and now; thus, I can’t understand how our Commonwealth’s Attorney can ignore even the smallest violation of our zoning ordinance. What about this, George? Is this business about a house trailer true, or were you misquoted? W. H. Lyne License decal reminder MANY Virginia passenger car owners, operating without month and year decals on their license plates, might find themselves standing in line again in March, unless they take action soon on the notices they have received to purchase the decals. The plain license plates expire on March 31, and the Virginia Division of Motor Vehicles says that over 300,000 car owners have not responded to extension notices mailed to them. When Virginia motorists, with licenses up for renewal last March and April, came in to buy the new multi-year licenses, they were issued plain blue-on-white plates, without year and month decals, and were given the option of selecting a convenient month for annual renewal in future years. AS THE selected month rolled around, DMV has been mailing extension notices and, on payment of a pro-rated fee, the passenger car owner’s registration is extended to the month selected, and the proper month and year decals are forwarded. Realizing that the original plates are valid until March 31, over 300,000 car owners are taking their time about returning the renewal notices for their decals. “WHAT they don’t realize,” explains Commissioner Vern L. Hill, “is that trucks, trailers, motorcycles—all except passenger cars—are still on the annual basis, and these license plates also expire on March 31. Once all passenger cars are on the staggered - month system, the trucks and special vehicles should pose no problem to handle in March. But, if these passenger car owners wait until the last minute, they could find themselves waiting in lines at our offices. And that kind of inconvenience is just what we have been trying to eliminate.” Hill also urges car owners who selected a renewal month, but who may have mislaid or not have received an extension notice, to contact the nearest DMV,office or license agency, immediately.□ Settle-Smith Mr. and Mrs. "Luther Settle of Castleton announce the marriage of their daughter Lois Ann to Joseph A.

F 0 X REPORT ON THE LEGISLATURE BY DEL. D. FRENCH SLAUGHTER, JR. THE 1974 General Assembly has been in session for three weeks and bills are being introduced at a rapid rate. It is estimated that at least 1,500 bills will be introduced during this session. The formula for distribution of public school funds to th^ counties and cities is always a very important part of the budget bill. The size of the appropriations for public education does not mean that each county and city will receive its proportionate share of these funds. These shares are determined by a formula which has been revised from time to time. The last revision was in 1973 and I opposed the formula adopted at that time because I did not think it provided for an equitable distribution of public school funds. One of the factors in the formula is a measure of the differences in local taxable wealth and the present formula measures this Heart Drive chairmen Mrs. Charles Raney and Mrs. Paul Miller, both of Flint Hill, have been named co-chairmen of the 1974 Heart Fund Drive in Rappahannock County. Robert W. Meador, Heart Fund Chairman for the Virginia Heart Association, announced their appointment in Richmond. February is “Heart Month.” Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Raney, will coordinate efforts of community volunteers who will conduct a mail-in campaign. This type of campaign was selected for this county because of the energy shortage. Funds collected will support research, educational and community service programs sponsored by the Virginia Heart Association. “Heart disease is the number one killer in the nation. Over a million Americans will die of heart attack and blood vessel diseases this year,” said Mrs. Miller. ‘‘These statistics underscore the vital need for public support of the Heart Fund Drive. Please give generously. If you do not receive a letter, donations may be mailed to Mrs. Charles Raney, Flint Hill, Va. 22627,” she said.D j TALENT PROGRAM A Talent Program will be given at the Macedonia Baptist Church, Flint Hill, Friday, February 8 at 8 p.m. for the benefit of the Senior Choir.

The formula proposed this year is along the lines of the formula that I have favored. It provides that locally taxable wealth shall be measured by real estate values to the extent of 50 percent, personal income to the extent of 40 percent, and retail sales to the extent of 10 percent. This formula is a more accurate measure of the differences in taxable wealth among the localities and will result in the distribution of more funds to the localities in our section of the state. The prospects are favorable for the adoption of this formula. ANOTHER proposal by the State Board of Education requires all counties to have kindergartens. I am in favor of providing kindergarten education and state assistance for the localities which provide kindergartens but to impose this requirement in many localities will lead to difficulties in arranging a short I school day for kindergartens and in providing transportation for kindergarten pupils. It seems to me that kindergartens should be optional with the localities. There has been a rapid increase in the last few years in kindergartens provided throughout the state without the state requirement. A number of bills have been introduced on the Sunday closing laws or blue laws. Unfortunately, the legislature has enacted enforcement provisions which are difficult to carry out and this has added to the complexity of the situation. What has happened is that a number of county and city law enforcement officials have found that the law is too complicated to enforce. I favor a policy of having most stores closed on Sunday but in view of the complex and different situations the legislature should consider any bills which would make the law more workable including consideration of local option which would allow each county or city to decide whether to adopt the state Sunday closing law in its locality. New week I will have a similar report on other legislative activities of the 1974 session.□ • Men’s Long Sleeve Dress Shirts 1/2 Price • All Winter Coats 1/3 to 1/2 Price • All Winter Sport Coats 1/3 to 1/2 Price • Casual Pre-Cuffed Pants 1/2 Price • Shoes- Dress, Casual and Work Shoes Greatly Reduce • Ladies- Dresses-Coats-Spotrtswear Reduce to 1/2 Price She While Shop Soith Sate Shopping Center, Culpeper , Vo.

They decided to put the sentence under nonconforming uses. District Health Officer R.S. LeGarde had also asked the Planning Commission to require that all lots have enough space for two septic fields. The first one usually becomes unusable within 20 yea'rs, LeGarde said. “We don’t need to put this in,” George Davis said. “If having only one septic field means there will be a health hazard later, LeGarde can require it before the Health Department approves it. I don’t see any need for us to become involved. Newbill Miller said LeGarde couldn’t legally require the two septic fields, and that he needed to have the Zoning Ordinance provide him with the “tools.” George Davis still maintained that “it’s not necessary.” “Oh, come on George,” Newbill Miller said. “It’s just passing the buck. You see it all the time. And I’m willing to put Harry Truman’s little sign up right here.” The Planning Commission agreed to include LeGarde’s request. $he Wined tribute CLORE FUNERAL HOME “The Home of Thoughtful Service” CEMETERY MEMORIALS PHONi 825-2361 CULPEPER I 3m (With This Advertiserrent) g Offer good thru February 28 Buy one of these dinners-Second dinner free 1.

But the Planners decided to leave these as drafted originally. The minimum size in an agricultural zone is two acres on 0-7% slope, and five acres on 7-14% slope. The minimum lot size in a “conservation area” is 25 acres. Lot divisions are subject to the subdivision ordinance. Newbill Miller thought a statement was needed, explaining that two or more adjoining parcels under the same ownership can be considered as one tract for the purpose of subdivision. Davis thought such a sentence would be superfluous. “The existing legal definition of “tract” makes adjoining parcels owned by one person one tract even if they were recorded as separate deeds,” he explained. “I don’t think Col. McNear or a lot of people in the county read it that way, so let’s help’em out,” Newbill Miller said. “Well, that understanding is wrong. So we still don’t need it,” George Davis sdid. But the planners included Miller’s suggestion. AT BOTH meetings, the Planning Commission talked about road criteria for subdivision streets, and af► ter both meetings nothing had been decided. Newbill Miller thought that State Highway Department standards were unnecessary in some cases. “In subdivisions of 25 acres or more I don’t think there should be any restrictions,” he argued. “Maybe we don’t need to meet state criteria,” Fanning Baumgardner said. wBut I think we should retain some control.” The planning commission agreed to look into critHere’s a good neighbor for life WILEY W.

An area labeled flood plain (and thus precluding any additional construction) can be redesignated as an agricultural or conservation zone, the planning commission decided. But first the landowner must provide historical records showing no flooding has occured on the property in 50 years as well as an engineering analysis of the property. NEWBILL MILLER said some of the flood plain acres were labeled inaccurately. “They went by soil types, not elevation, and we should have done both.” Miller added that he didn’t own a flood plain but thought a provision for appealing the status should be provided. A landowner will bring his case to the Board of Zoning Appeals. After the meeting was adjourned, George Davis commented: “The way these planning ordinances are handled reminds me of the blind men touching the elephant. The real estate people have it by the tail and they think that’s the whole elephant. The planners have it by the ear, and they think that’s the whole elephant. Lots of people are grabbing at the trunk or something and they think that’s the whole elephant.

Revenue Rappahannock has spent all its payments RAPPAHANNOCK County is one of the few northern Virginia Piedmont localities that has spent its entire allotment from the Federal Revenue Sharing program. More than $2 million has been received by counties and towns in the Northern Piedmont area but many have not made full use of the funds. In some cases the money has been spent only in part; in others, not at all. Many county and town officials complained that the program is difficult to administer, noting there are “too many strings attached.” When the Federal government instigated the Revenue Sharing Program, it was stipulated that the funds could only be used for specific purpos* es. In Rappahannock Coun - ty, Treasurer Frances Foster said: “I wait until our auditor is here before I even enter it in the books.” RAPPAHANNOCK County spent $76,908 from Revenue Sharing during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1973. Rappahannock Supervisors appropriated the funds among various county departments. The largest allotments went toward garbage collection, $18,000; Public Health, $10,110, and the Board of Zoning Appeals, $10,110. Most of the remainder was alloted for “administrative expenses” and Our reputation is built on understanding and integrity. Every wish of the family is taken into consideration. Trust us to ease the burden of necessary arrangements with consideration, and in good taste. • GEEST Funeral Home. Ine. PRIVATE AMBULANCE CEMETERY MEMORIAL 44S Sperry rtlle Red Celpepcr. V«.

County Treasurer Frances Foster noted that Rappahannock County’s quarterly checks have increased since the first payment in December 1972. The first check was for $25,961; the most recent for $34,489. Unlike most localities which are receiving less through revenue sharing, Mrs. Foster’s office has received no indication that Rappahannock’s share will be cut. “I think we were one of the few counties that was shortchanged at first,” she said. The Town of Washington received $1,010 during the first ye^r of the program. Their share for the second fiscal year is $1,036. Washington Mayor Virginia Miller said - the money is currently in a savings account. ‘‘We hope to conduct a study for sewage disposal,” she said, ‘‘but we haven’t been able to do it Bridge Club Mrs. L.

Other committees considered necessary for either short or long range planning were finance, publicity, site location. ROGER FLINCHUM, a member of the local high school faculty, related information gleaned from a survey among students indicating preferences inactivities which might be included in the center plans. Among these were swimming, basketball, tennis, pool, wrestling, skiing, crafts, bowling, photography, ping pong, dancing, music and woodworking.

Fauquier County has received $400,000 during two years of Revenue sharing. None of the funds have been spent yet, but they’ve been earmarked for payment on the school debt. The money, now in a trust fund, cannot be used to pay the interest on the debt for school operating costs, but it can be used to pay off the principal. The town of Warrenton has received $183,723 from the Federal program. So far, only $12,947 has been spent, $12,769 to buy a back hoe and $177 to advertise that the town has received the funds. Clarke County expects to spend the $23,000 it will receive this year on renovating the courthouse building. Last year Clarke County was given $65,000 through Revenue Sharing. Most of the funds were spent for improvements on two county schools and the remainder set aside for the courthouse project. THE TOWN of Berryville will spend its $17,000 from Revenue Sharing on capital improvements and flood control. Last year Berryville received ^26,000 and spent it for street and sewer equipment. Loudoun has received $705,847 since the Revenue Sharing program began. Nearly all the funds have been earmarked for capital improvements and the retirement of school bonds. Middleburg reported receiving $37,000 from the Federal program. So far, $16,000 has been spent on sidewalk construction. Future funds, it was stated, - will probably be used for sidewalks. In the Prince William town of Hamarket, the council would like to spend the funds on “public safety” but members say they are unable to come up with the necessary procedures. Haymarket has received about $2,500, none of which has been used. — Pekay Pettus MOYERS MOTOR CO., INC. Ford & Mercury NEW MARKET, VA. 75 Used Cars & Trucks in stock at all times CALL: Robert G.

New conservation program available RAPPAHANNOCK County’s ASCS Office will be responsible for administering the new 1974 Rural Environmental Conservation Program. The new program, which replaces and modifies the old REAP, has several new aspects of interest to Rappahannock County residents. According to James W. Coates, ASCS County Executive Director, the new FIRE & RESCUE Flint Hill Rescue Squad took Miss Margaret Foster January 22 from the Aileen plant to Warren Memorial Hospital and returned to her home. January 25 John William Putnam was taken from home to Warren Memorial Hospital and returned. Sperryville Rescue Squad January 24 took Gen. Daniel Noce from home to Vint Hill Station where he was transported to Dewitt Army Hospital, Ft. Belvoir. Washington Rescue Squad and fire truck answered a false alarm Jan uary 24 to Hillsdale. January 28 James W. Gilvin of Harrisburg was taken from Hampton Inn to Page Memorial Hospital, Luray. Amissville Rescue Squad took Ivor Jacobs from his home to Fauquier Hospital, Warrenton on January 24. The following day Helen Rector was taken to the same hospital. Katie Pendleton was taken January 28 to Fauquier Hospital. □ cost-sharing phase of the program could be extremely beneficial to Rappahannock County farmers. It provides for a minimum of 50% and maximum of 75% return to the user for all expenses he incurs while establishing conservation or forestry practices on his land, including labor costs. Also under the 1974 program, an applicant can either elect to apply for a single one year program of conservation improvement, or select a 3 to 10 year continuing program. The extended period of time now allowed will be most beneficial to those wishing rather extensive conservation improvements on their land, but preferring to spread them out over a period of years. ALL applications must be made directly to the ASCS county office. Complete information and details on the specific program will be available in the very near future. Coates also said he does have the basic information on the program that has been authorized by the Secretary of Agriculture for cost - sharing. Fourteen separate practices have been announced, plus two which deal with county projects affecting conservation peculiar to a particular county. This year’s program places added emphasis of forestry practices, which could offer additional interest to some of our 550 applicants. □ EARLY'S CARPET SALES & SERVICE UIG( OUTLAW Of RATIONALLY KNOWN HANOI IMPORTED ORIENTALS ALSO REMNANTS ALEXANDER SMITH PATCRAFT MOHAWK IARWICK MASLAND RESIDENTIAL COMMERCIAL CUSTOM BUDGET TERMS DRAPERIES - SLIPCOVERS (MADE LOCALLY?

Varner and Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Grain handling advice DURING WINTER, many farmers plan activities for the coming crop season. Among these plans are the amounts of grain that will be produced, purchased, sold, fed to livestock, stored, etc. If grain will be feed on the fai;m, a number of decisions have to be made about handling, storage, and feeding facilities, notes A.J. Lambert, associate professor of agricultural engineering and Extension specialist at Virginia Tech. Right now when a possible drying fuel shortage is being discussed, some farmers are considering the storage of high-moisture or acid treated grain. Assuming that fuel will be available to dry farm crops, the alternatives generally boil down to cost of one system of storage versus the other. One, factor in the storage of acid-treated grain which is often overlooked is that aeration equipment must be used if the grain in the bin is more than 8 to 10 feet in depth. Aer ation of acid-treated grain is a little more critical than aeration of dry grain. AERATION OF acidtreated grain is done for the same purpose as for dry grain, however. This purpose is to cool the grain to near the same temperature as outside air. If moisture forms on acidtreated grain, it will mold and rot as quickly as dry grain. Either may get wet because of temperature differences in the bin. VIEWTOWNCASTLETON Mrs. Beulah Grigsby has returned to her home after being a patient in Culpeper Memorial Hospital. Weekend guests of Mrs. Robert Settle were Mr. and Mrs. William Settle and family of Maryland, Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Settle and family, Rixeyville and Mr. and Mrs. Richard Settle, Manassas.

Because of limited structure strength, the grain is usually stored in shallow depths and no problem with moisture has been encountered. This type of storage for acid-treated grain has been about the only kind that competed with drying and metal bin storage from a cost standpoint, said Lambert. As the cost of fuel increases relative to propionic-acetic acids, more interest will be expressed in grain perservatives. But don’t overlook the fact that an aeration system may be required even with high moisture acid treated grain in storage, the specialist said.D TV SERVICE All Mates and Models Amissville, Flint Hill, Washington & vacinity - Solid State Specialists Color and Black and White Antennae Installations and Sales AMISSVILLE iiiiiNiiiiiiillliiiiiiiiiHtiiiiiiiiiiniiiiuiiiiiiNimiiiiHiii RADIO & TV SERVICE Amissville, Vo. 937-4704 m €0 PRICES NOW ALL MERCHANDISE STOREWIDE I REDUCED TO 0 ONE/HALF 1 >v PRICE 01 WALL'S JEWELERS 211 I.

Virginia traffic deaths down in ‘73 THE 1973 traffic death toll for Virginia stood at 1,208, or 48 less than the 1,256 of 1972, Colonel H. W. Burgess, Superinten dent of State Police, has reported. Colonel Burgess noted that if late reports and deaths of persons now car License increase backed DIRECTORS of the 8,000 member Virginia Wildlife Federation, during a meeting held in Richmond, on January 19, voted to support the proposed increase in hunting and fishing licenses which the Game Commission has recommended. The resolution passed by the organization during their meeting in the Capitol City read in part: “Whereas there has been no change in the fee for a Virginia State hunting license since 1949 and no changes in the fee for a Virginia State fishing license since 1961.be if Resolved that the Virginia Wildlife Federation hereby endorses and supports the proposed new hunting, fishing, and trapping license fee schedule as recommended to the General Assembly by the Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries and be it Further Resolved that the Federation does not endorse or support any proposal to reduce the age / at which resident persons are exempt from license requirements, or are eligible for lifetime licenses, that would materially reduce the revenues that will be available to the Commission.”D NOTICE BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY, VIRGINIA The Rappahannock County Board of Zoning Appeals will hold a public hearing on the following request on February 13, 1974 at 9:00 A.M. in the County Courthouse at Washington, Virginia: Franklin R. Pullen, Jr. has applied for a Special Use Permit in accordance with Article 2, Section ' 2-1-2 (11) of the Zoning Ordinance of Rappahannock County, Virginia.

The applicant and other interested parties wishing to be heard are requested to be present at that time. Evan A.

He stated that while the effects of lower speed limits and reduced traffic due to the gasoline shortage cannot be exactly measured, the decline of deaths late in the year indicate they were strong. SEPTEMBER’S deaths numbered 126, or an increase of 10 over those of September, 1972. October’s dropped from 112 to 92, November’s from 110 to 93 and December’s from 118 to 84. Traffic volumes through October were up 6.9 percent. Those for November and December have not yet been figured but Colonel Burgess, felt certain that they would work to lower this percentage. DEATHS of pedestrians were down from 249 last year to 195; those of servicemen from 59 to 41, while those of motorcyclists stood even at 57. For the first nine months Si Sez THE PRESENT CONDITIONS caused me quite a bit of concern till I heard this bit of philosophy: “Nothin’ ain’t nothin’, but it’s free.” There was a song once with words something like this: “I got plenty of nothin’ and nothin’s enough for me.” It is a cause for jubilance to belong to a people, who when they hit bottom, bounce back laughing. We had a national leader some years ago who promised his constituents a car in every garage anu a chicken in every pot. Maybe we over-didit. I think the national average is about two cars per family, I don’t know about the chickens, if you buy a chicken or hen-fruit you pay dearly for each. I had a touch of the energy crisis the other day. We reverted back to the primitive; our water pump failed. Going down to the spring reservoir, drawipg up two buckets of water and bringing them back up the mountain requires energy; mine almost failed. What is that about renewing your strength? But regardless of the vicissitudes of fate, God is still keeping watch above His own. It is still a beautiful world; even though the local litters are doing their best to make it otherwise. Let’s hope for a brighter tomorrow after some have done their worst. There IS a brighter tomorrow for those who love HIM.C James Cloud James Moffett Cloud of Rixeyville, 75, died January 28, 1974 in McGuire Veterans Hospital, Richmond after an illness of two months.
