Rappahannock News, February 7, 1974

c Old hiking and riding trail blocked THE MT. MARSHALL FIRE ROAD, a trail used by hikers and horseback riders in Rappahannock County for nearly 50 years, has been closed at two points by owners of 25-acre subdivision lots who live along it. The Fire Road begins at State Route 625 and winds up toward Mt. Marshall in the Shenandoah National Park. Along the top of the Ridge, it intersects with the Skyline Drive and Bluff Trail (for hikers). The Fire Road is also used as an access route to the Appalachian Trail which runs along the far side of the Skyline Drive at the top of the mountain. # No one seems to know exactly when or by whom the Fire Road was built. It was already in use, some say, for hauling apples off the mountain when the Civilian Conservation Corps improved it, adding a number of rock retaining walls, during the 1930’s. The National Park Service had maintained the trail, keeping branches cut back, all the way down to State Route 625. Most of the land crossed by the Fire Road was owned by Arthur Miller. The Miller tract has now been subdivided into 25-acre lots. Access to the Mt. Marshall Mre Koaa nas Deen blocked at two points. A “posted” sign hangs from a single strand of barbed wire stretched across the road where it leaves State Route 625. Four more signs can be seen on -threes along the road beyond the wire: Farther up the Fire Road, six strands of jferbed wire barricade the trail, preventing horses, riders and hikers from passing through. The fence was put up by Arvin Benson. Seven landowners have property which the Fire Road crosses between Benson’s land and 625. AFTER THE FIRE ROAD was blocked, Dr. and Mrs. Norman Horwitz, who have land farther up the mountain, told the Rappahannock Trail Riders that they could use their driveway to reach the Mt. Marshall trail from Route 625. The legality of blocking the trail has not been determined. Fanning Baumgardner, Assistant Zoning Administrator, believes the Mt. Marshall Fire Road may be a public right-of-way. But Baumgardner is not sure. Attorneys for the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection are studying the issue. —Pekay Pettus A subdivision lot owner used barbed wire and posted signs to discourage hikers and riders from using the Mt. Marshall Fire Road, a trail used by Rappahannock citizens and maintained by the National Park for nearly 50 years. School registration set SUPERINTENDENT of Schools 0. A. Norton announces that children who will enter the first grade in Rappahannock County next year will be registered at the Rappahannock County Elementary School on Tuesday, February 19; Wednesday, February 20, and Thursday, February 21. Every child in the county who will be six years of age on or before November 1, 1974 (a change from the previous year’s requirement of October 1) is to be registered by his parent or guardian. Letters will be sent from the School indicating on which of the three days parents are to bring their child for registration. PARENTS are reminded that they must present an official copy of their child’s Birth Certificate at the time of registration. Par ents who do not have an official Birth Certificate should bring $2 to cover the cost of securing this record. The Public Health Nurse, Mrs. Frances Thornton, will be present at each registration session to explain to parents the required procedure for health examination and immunization of these pre-school children. □ Historical Society is reactivated THE Rappahannock Historical Society was reactivated Monday evening with a meeting and election of officers held at the Courthouse in Washington. The President, James F. Massie stated that henceforth meetings will be held three times a year—in February, May and October; He declared the purpose of Monday’s meeting to set up projects for the coming year and to define the aims of the Society. .4 Other officers elected were Mrs. B.M. Miller, vice president; Mrs. George Sharp, secretary; Mrs. Robert P. Anderson, treasurer and Mrs. Robert Rodgers, coordinator. Mrs. Henry Keyser agreed to serve temporarily as publicity director. A membership drive is now in progress with dues collectible for 1974, as follows: single membership, $3, couple, $5 and junior membership, $1. All persons wishing to join the Society, may send dues to Mrs. Robert P. Anderson, Route 1, Box 56, Woodville. FIRST priority of the Society is to restore the old .historical building on Gay Street owned by the Society. It was felt that this, is necessary on many counts, chiefly to have a suitable home for docu ments, books, maps, etc. that have been donated to the Society. It is one of the oldest buildings in town, having served as a barroom, office of the Treasurer of the county, then a law office. A building committee was appointed from the following volunteers, G. W. O’Connor, Ian Pryde and W.D. Fries, with Mr. O’Connor agreeing to serve as Chairman. It follows that money will be needed for this project and various avenues were explored. Mr. Massie will appoint a committee to investigate possibilities. E. M. JONES suggested that an article by William Pullen entitled “The First or Second Rappahannock County?” be printed for sale and read an interesting excerpt. He will investigate the cost or printing in a style appropriate to the nature of the society. Mrs. I. Parrish agreed to make a drawing for the cover. Jones also had on display laminated copies of the “Blue Ridge Echo” which he had donoted to the Society through the library.C Students enjoy folktale play The Wayside TheatreOn-Tour of Middletown performed “Virginia Folktales” at the Wakefield Country Day School at Huntly Tuesday, February 5. The performance by five professional actors portrayed local folklore through song, dance and mime. Following the presentation, students of the school were invited to act out parts and ask questions concerning the theater. Typical student reaction was: “Can they come back again tomorrow?”

What they really mean is that someone else expressed something so well that it can’t be improved upon, even by an editorial writer. What follows is an editorial which “wrote itself,” being the opening paragraph of the “Truban Report,” a rundown on matters before the General Assembly written by State Senator William A. Truban of Woodstock, who represents the 27th District: “Too many luncheons...Too many dinners...Too many cocktail parties beforehand... Too many parties after the parties...Too many bills, so many that they can’t even write them in time to consider...Too many liberal de-gooders...Too many shdrfsessions in some cases, so they can run to another\ social event. Too much monkey business! and not enough cash register business. “Last year, and in all of the Holton years, most parties Were outlawed for Legislators. Not this time; everybody who has an idea (and all seem to be able to afford it) throws another big one—most with plenty of booze—and all expect us to go to those well-oiled events! “But for your 27th District Legislator and many dedicated Legislators, the lights burn late in the Eighth Street Office Building in Richmond, if only to handle paper. You can call me here late at night, if you need to.” The number in Richmond is 804-770-6069. Such a clear-headed legislator ought to hear from folks back home who appreciate his conscientiousness.□ 200 enter book review contest BY MARY JAMIESON OVER 200 STUDENTS have entered the Rappahannock Library’s big book review contest. “This welcome and enthusiastic participation,” said George E. Muth, newly appointed member to the Library Board of Trustees, “makes you realize that a vital public library can fill a need in the county’s educational system.” The four current book review contests, sponsored by the Rappahannock County Library, are open to approximately 400 students from the fifth, sixth, seventh grades and approximately 400 from all the grades of High School level. “This means,” added Mr. Muth, “about 25% of the county’s students have entered. The co-operation of the principals and i individual teachers has made this possible.” For high school students, their first reviews must .. be turned into the Library or to their English teachers on or before Saturday, February 9. Each participant will submit three reviews (at two week Barns Mrs. Beulah Armentrout of Front Royal correctly identified the barn last week as that owned presently by Michael Marsh near Woodville. She was the former owner. Mrs. Armentrout will receive a free subscription to the Rappahannock News. Others to correctly identify the barn were Frank Starks and James R. Dodson. Teacher ‘in-service day’ TEACHERS of Warren and Rappahannock Counties will have a day of in-service training on Friday, February 15, beginning at 9 a.m. the teachers will be involved in a variety of activities geared to improve the instructional program at both the elementary and secondary levels. The program is divided into three units. All teachers in grades 1-3 will meet at E. Wilson Morrison Elementary School. During the day, they will work in the areas of reading, writing and instructional television. James Calleran, Utilization Coordinator for the educational television station WVPT, Miss Nancy Schuler, Elementary Supervisor from Page County, and Mrs. Eleanor Doane, Writing Consultant for Zaner Bloser, will be among those working with the teachers. intervals,> to De eligible for the money awards. The winners will be chosen on the basis of the average rating of three reviews. Cash prizes amount to $215 for the high school participants; $120 for elementary school participants. AFTER THE CONTEST CLOSES individually interesting reviews of the elementary school students will appear in the Rappahannock News, accompanied by a photo of the child who wrote the review. Contestants from the fifth,' sixth, seventh grades have three weeks for each of their two required book reviews. They must have their first reviews into the library or their grade teachers on or before Saturday, February 16. All participants and parents will be invited to a k Library prize-awarding party shortly after the con-..' test closes. They will meet the distinguished panel of judges who have offered their services for the contest, and will receive their cash and merit awards. Another segment of the program will be held at Warren County High School and will be planned for teachers in grades 4-12. Specialists in the field of reading in the content areas will work with the teachers throughout the day. THE THIRD part of the day’s activities will be a special workshop designed to improve the instructional phase of the elementary physical education program. Mrs. Mary F. Bukva, and Mrs. Jennie Adams, local physical education teachers, will provide instruction to the elementary physical education aides in numerous aspects of the physical education program. This in-service day is provided for professional growth by the School Boards of Warren and Rappahannock and has been planned cooperatively by the education associations of both counties and the Central Office Staff.□ Safety reminder DARKNESS is a new safety hazard for children going to school in the mornings. “While the return to daylight savings time is necessary to help alleviate the energy crisis, it does increase the possibility of automobile crashes involving school children,” said John T. Hanna, director, Highway Safety Division of Virginia. “Motorists driving to work in the dark need to remember that children also are out there in the dark, eighter walking to school or waiting for their bus.” To make themselves more visible to motorists, the safety official advises all early morning pedestrians to wear light colored or bright clothing. He also suggested applying reflectorized tape, available at most hardware stores, to lunchboxes, books, briefcases or outer clothing.D

T H E L I T T L c F 0 X REPORT ON THE LEGISLATURE BY DEL. D. FRENCH SLAUGHTER, JR. THE committees of the General Assembly have begun consideration of the 600 bills which have been introduced thus far in the session and public hearings, and next week should see voting on a substantial number of the less controversial bills. Several bills involving conservation have been introduced which were recommended by the committee on which I served as chairman, of the Virginia Advisory Legislative Council. One of these bills (known as the critical environmental areas bill) would create a state commission to designate certain specific, selected areas of the state which would be considered to be of unusual and particular importance to the state because of unique historic, cultural, scenic, and water requirement reasons. The designation of these areas and the regulations ' for development (zoning in these areas) would be proposed by this commission after recommendations from various state agencies and local governments and after public hearings. An expected amendment to this bill provides that the General Assembly must approve any action of the commission before any such action becomes final. I THINK this is a reasonable approach to preserving certain specified areas. It is not a statewide land use control bill. The counties and cities will still make the zoning and other regulatory decisions on land as they now do, except for the particular, designated areas. I believe this legislation Miller named an Angus Association director THE 1974 Annual Meeting of the Virginia Angus Association was held January 18 and 19 at the Ramada Inn in Charlottesville, featuring as guest speaker Lt. Gov. John N. Dalton. More than 118 Angus breeders and enthusiasts from across the Old Dominion attended. Newly elected officers for the 1974 calendar year are: President, William B. McSpadden, White Oak Spring Farm, Chilhowie; Vice-President, Williams. “Tom” Stokes III, Ayrshire Farm, Upperville; Treasurer, Carl H. Craig, Jr., Windy Cove Farm, Middlebrook; and Executive Secretary, D. R. “Pete” Lohr, Burgundy Farm, Orange. Newly elected directors of the Association are Mrs. Ruth Landers, Arrowhead Farm, Herndon; Paul Grinde, White Hall Farm, Charlottesville; J. Newbill Miller, The Maples, Washington; R. Carroll Grove, Windy Grove Farm, Waynesboro; and William B. McSpadden, White Oak Spring Farm, Chilhowie. THE Virginia Angus Association is the only beef cattle breed organization in Virginia which owns and maintains its own headquarters building, located in Charlottesville, and is devoted to full time promotion of the Angus breed through educational schools, forums, meetings, and sales. The present membership includes over 700 purebred and commercial Angus breeders throughout the state. □ DOWN - DOWN - DOWN 00 PRICES NOW AU.

MAIN, FRONT ROYAL GOMG OUT OF BUSMESS SALE ALL SAUS <A«W-IIOtiWIWDf •rKCWAlWM has merit but both the committee and the Virginia Advisory Legislative Council realize that a number of changes may be desirable in these proposals. It is likely that no action will be taken on this bill during this session and it will probably be carried over to the 1975 session. ANOTHER bill would require each county to have minimum standards for sanitary requirements and road access in subdivisions. Most of the counties in our section of the state already have such subdivision ordinances but there are a number of counties which do not. The bill would not require zoning or a comprehensive land use plan and these matters are left up to the localities. Additional bills would provide for regulation of building on slopes or flood plains according to standards established by the localities and the Soil Conservation Commission as Ls now provided in legislation for soil erosion control in development of properties. There is also a bill to provide for voluntary donation of scenic easements for 30 years or more to public bodies. A legislative study on all of these matters will probably be continued for the next two years. AMONG other matters being considered by the General Assembly are the proposals of a Commission on Higher Education, on which I served, which would provide greater authority for the State Coun cil on Higher Education in an effort to avoid duplication of facilities and curricula in the state-supported colleges and universities. Along with a slowing of the rate of increase in college enrollments, it becomes very important to avoid overbuilding and duplication of certain courses for which there is not suf ficient demand to be offered in more than one or two institutions. The proposal will still retain the basic control of the colleges and universities in their own boards and administrative officers as is the present case. Next week I shall have another report on legislative activities of the 1974 General Assembly.□ Adult Education classes ADULT EDUCATION CLASSES, encompassing ten weeks, have been scheduled this year at Rappahannock County High School to begin February 21.

«s WHY THROW AWAY BOTTLES? Throw-away bottles cost 4-cents and are used 1-time. <, Re-useable bottles cost 10-cents and are used 20-times. America's consumers are paying the difference: 1. By depleting natural resources, 2. By unnecessary waste of capital, 3. By cleaning up littered roadsides, 4. By rapidly filling disposal areas. Every time a can or bottle is thrown away enough energy is wasted to burn a 100-watt light bulb for 5-hours. 11,000 homes could be heated by the fuel saved using returnable containers. The Virginia Legislature, this year, canfollowthe lead of a highly successful and popular law in Oregon. Senate Bill No. 30 (Senator A. Joe Canada, Va. Beach, 23450) would require that every beer and soft drink container have a return value and require that dealers accept and return them to the wholesalers and bottlers. This legislation would have the people causing the problem pay the cost themselves. Senator George S. Aldhizer (Broadway, Va. 22815) and Delegate D. French Slaughter (Culpeper, Va. 22701) would appreciate your opinion. Committee hearing on SB No. 30 is February 15 in Richmond.

J I ATTENTION FARMERS The Rappahannock County Farm Bureau will assist its members in obtaining farm operating fuel during an emergency, according to Mr. Ian Pryde, president of Rappahannock County Farm Fureau. Mr. Pryde said application forms are available at the local Farm Bureau office for members who face ah emergency shortage. ' “We are urging all our members to obtain records of their 1972 farm operational fuel uses,” said Pryde. “This is the base year from which allocations will be made in the future.” Mr. Pryde said that should a farmer forsee a shortage in his future monthly needs, he must fill out form PAP-20 before he can receive additional kerosene, diesel and heating oil. These forms are available in a limited supply at the local Farm Bureau office. The Rappahannock County president said this form is used only for obtaining fuel needed in agricultural production. Home heating is under a different allocation system. It is pointed out that farmers should not wait until they run out of production fuel before application is made on the PAP-20 forms. The paper work, processing and mailing may take about two weeks. For further information on these forms or any activities of the Farm Bureau, please contact Mrs. Rodney Vest at 987-8225.

A member of Multiple Listing Northern Virginia Farms declined THE number'of farms declined one percent across the nation during 1973, while the average size of the American farm became two acres larger, according to Jack York, executive director of the Loudoun Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS). York said that in Virginia the decline was 1,000 farms during 1973. Farm size averaged 152 acres in the State. The 1973 figures were recently released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in Washington. York indicated that the national figures mean that some farmers added new acres to their operations last year. These farmers are following a trend that started almost four decades ago—a trend to fewer but larger farms. The average farm is now 385 acres, two acres larger than last year. TOTAL farms by the end of 1973 was 2,821,000-one percent less than in 1972— and they cover almost one billion 87 million acres of the Nation’s land. Although the loss of farmland to other uses is fractional—three-tenths of one percent—it totaled over 2-1/2 million acres in 1973. This is an area twice the size of the State of Delaware. In 1971, farmland lost to other uses totaled 3.5 million acres, in 1972 the figure was 3.2 million acres. York said the report indicates that while all individual yearly losses in farmland represent only a very small part of the total, there is some concern about the long-term impact of the losses.□ Do You Have Property You Might Be Interested in Selling?

I heard a preacher who told us of the Master casting out a legion of demons from a man. Now a legion was 6,000 foot soldiers, with .support cavalry. These demons were permitted to enter two thousand pigs; the pigs were destroyed. I asked the preacher if he thought the demons were equally divided among the pigs which would have been approximately three per pig. He seemed to think that the little pigs probably needed only one demon, while the big hogs were more obstinate. Could be. It is my understanding that science is Deginning to investigate this force called demonology, that they are particularly concerned about poltergiests. A popular comedian has an expression, the devil made me do it. I think many of us accept this philosophy and use it as a crutch, when it is our own inate weakness. I’m sure, if you read the comics, that you have seen the characters torn between good and evil, the good represented by a little white angel, the bad by a little wiggly tailed red devil. Paul was constantly torn by opposing forces; from outside or within himself?D HELP YOU.

During February there will be a series of V.P.I. Extension sponsored schools in Warrenton, Culpeper and Madison. As an example, the school in Warrenton will be every Wednesday night from 7-9 p.m. during the month of February. You can take your choice of two from eight classes for each night. Here is an example of a few classes being offered: Feeding the Beef Herd Cheaper and Better, Economics of Fertilizer Use, Soybean Production, The Immature Horse (Feeding and caring from foal to horse), Growing Grapes and Other Small Fruits, Better Food Buys, and Estate Planning. Programs for these three schools are posted in the Extension office. Stop by and look them over, or give us a call and will give you the subjects, time, dates, etc. of the various classes. Orchardists will want to circle Wednesday, February 20, on their calendars. This is the date of the Rappahannock-Madison Area Fruit School. The program was planned by local orchardists and will be held at Graves Mountain Lodge. IF YOU ARE IN THE MARKET for a beef bull, Friday, March 1, is the date of the Virginia Beef Cattle Improvement Association’s annual bull sale at Culpeper Enterprises. There will be a two day Beef Cattleman’s Short Course at V.P.I. on March 11-12. The short course is designed for both purebred and commercial cattlemen with special emphasis on cow-calf and feeder cattle production. The teaching will be slanted toward the relatively new cow producer and will be kept very practical. For information on any of these events, contact your Extension Office.□ GreatCars Afake GreatVeals Wm&Wi New and Used Cars and Trucks PIEDMONT Chevfolet-Oldsmobile, Inc. 814 N.

State Route 625 used to be a country lane, winding its way up from highway 622 towards the Mt. Marshall Fire Road. But Hurricane Agnes “gutted the road bed” which lay between a rock wall and a fast moving tributary to the Rush River. Though the stonewall wasn’t destroyed by the flood, the highway department decided to use it for base material when they “restored” the road. The picture at left shows the road as it appears now, beyond the “restored” section. -Above is a view of the Route 625 where it has been repaired to state standards. Deer harvest up this year FIGURES released by Supervising Game Biologist Joe L. Coggin show the preliminary results of the deer harvest for the areas west of the Blue Ridge to be up by 9.5% over a year ago. In all the total legal western deer ^ kill was 16,454 of which 3,897 (28.3%) were doe and 12,575 were buck deer. Sportsmen using bow and arrows accounted for 435 of the deer taken with this figure representing aT9.3% increase over the past season. Coggin stated that there were a higher number of spike bucks taken as had been anticipated. This was due to the poor selection of mast available to wildlife during the previous year. Comparing the weights of yearling deer taken last season with those harvested this season revealed that the current season’s deer averaged 5 lbs. less. For the 72-73 season the average weight was 91 lbs. as compared with the 86 lb. average for the 73-74 seasin, Coggin said.D BRIDGE CLUB Mrs. Fred W.
