Blocked fire road Rappahannock Supervisors upset~by~ feport By PEKAY PETTUS ALL FIRE ROADS' in Rappahannock County should be kept open and “accessible,” the Supervisors decided at their February meeting last Thursday, even if they took no action. Fanning Baumgardner, Assistant County Zoning Administrator, presented the Board a resolution on behalf of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection. RLEP wanted the Supervisors to endorse their statement, thus supporting “in principle all legal and reasonable means to keep this area in its present state of natural beauty and to make the access and egress of the Shenandoah National Park through the Mount. Marhsall Fire Road available...for the peaceful enjoyment of scenic vistas, flora, fauna, hiking trails and riding trails which are the rightful heritage of all citizens.” RLEP’s resolution was prompted by the barracaiding of the Mount Marshall Fire Road. That road has been used by hikers and horseback riders in Rappahannock County for nearly 50 years. Some say the road was originally built as a trail to haul apples down from the mountain, but the Civilian Conservation Corps improved it during the 1930’s, adding rock retaining walls. Since then it had been maintained by the National Park Service, from the Park boundary down to Route 625. NOW THE Mount Marshall Fire Road is blocked at two points. At the junction with Route 625 a chain stretched across the trail prevents fire trucks or hikers and riders from entering. Farther up the mountain, six strands of barbed wire prevent access to the trail. The Fire Road ran through the property of Arthur Miller when the CCC was working on the road. Now the Miller property has been divided into 25acre lots. It is these lot owners who are discouraging public use of the trail, Baumgardner said. The Supervisors didn’t sign the RLEP’s resolution. “I’d want some definite changes before the Board endorses it,” Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis advised. “This resolution talks about Ski Area-best weekend ever THE RAPPAHANNOCK SKI AREA reported the “largest weekend in its 10-year history’’ last week, and expectations for an even bigger weekend of skiing coming up. Russ Albert, Ski Area manager, said that more than 1,650 skiers were on the slopes last Saturday and Sunday. He said snow conditions remain “excellent,” and the area is expecting maybe even more skiers this week. Albert said one enticement to skiers is an agreement by area gasoline stations to remain open during the weekend. He said Washington D.C. motorists will be able to buy gasoline in Rappahannock when they cannot find gasoline in Washington. He has been assured by station owners that they will remain open and that gasoline supplies, are adequate. Albert said snow machines have been busy all week. The area’s two chair lifts and three ground lifts will be in full operation. □ ‘scenic and recreational value.’ What they ought to emphasize is fire protection.” “I’D THINK this would definitely be a public rightof-way,” Newbill Miller said. “Am I right, George?” “No question about it,” Davis responded. “Not just Mount Marshall but the other fire trails. Not just into the Park but throughout the county. I’d say it’s vital to have these roads open and maintained. It ties in with county police power.” Baumgardner was glad to have the Commonwealth’s Attorney’s opinion on the status of fire roads. “Okay, now that this is straight, who removes the barricades?” he asked. “You’ve got a pair of wire clippers,” Davis suggested. “I HEAR one of these fellows might be a good shot,” Baumgardner said. “I’m not so eager to do the clipping myself.” “Seriously, all transfers of property are subject to existing rights - of - way. That includes dividing up this Miller place,” Newbill Miller said. “There can be no barbed wire,” George Davis stated definitively. “They’ll have to go to court if they want it.” Baumgardner wondered if the Fire Road could be used as the right-of-way street for the new 25 acre lots that adjoined it. Route 625 is an unusually attractive road, he said. It is bordered by a stream, a tributary to the Rush River, on one side and a rock wall on the other. “IF THESE lot owners used the old Fire Road, they wouldn’t have to destroy the trees, mess up the stream or punch holes in the wall along 625,” he said. “Well, I’m not sure about that,” George Davis said. “But it’s true that the more used any road like that is, the better it’ll be maintained.” Davis stated again that he saw the Fire Roads throughout the county as public rights - of - way. “Public access to these roads should not be obstructed. Like I said, it ties in with public safety and police power.” Baumgardner wanted to know if right-of-way for public safety meant that a landowner could still exclude hikers and riders. “Could I dedicate a trail through my property for a fire road but not public recreational use?” PETE LUKE said “This kind of thing has happened up and down the Appalachain Trail. I think we should get the park’s thinking on this thing before we sign anything.” “Fanning, I’m in sympathy with you (on the resolution) but I just don’t know,” Miller said. At this point, Aubrey Keyser, leaning heavily on his cane, made his way through the courtroom to the supervisors’ table. “I thought I’d tell you. I helped construct these fire roads. We put in grates and cattle guards. We planned for them to be open to the public. We had to get easements and record them. These roads were built with public funds.” ‘■‘Well then, this is now just a matter of finding the See Page 14 Skiers dot a slope at the Rappahannock Ski Area near Washington, Va.

LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Right reception FROM THE BRIEF encounters we’ve had with him in several area counties, Bill Whitehead seems like a very nice fellow. Serious, ^conscientious, dedicated. We’re sure he believes in his work as a promoter of emergency preparedness in Virginia. But the Rappahannock County Supervisors were quite right in resisting his invitation to join another bureaucracy. In a small county like Rappahannock, people have a way of getting together to cope with disaster, when they have to, and if the ultimate of nuclear disaster ever occurs, we rather suspect that the best-laid plans of all the Bill Whiteheads everywhere will prove to be surpassingly inadequate. Why hire a full-time “emergency coordinator,” indeed? Why not rely on an existing department such as that headed by the sheriff to deal with what is foreseeable? The Supervisors asked good questions, and citing more or less arbitrary, uniform standards laid down in Richmond or Washington is no answer. Rappahannock doesn’t need the governmental apparatus of a Roanoke, or Henrico County, and that’s another one of the reasons why we like Rappahannock County so much.D Si Sez IT IS HOPED THAT you will forgive me if I deviate from the norm and share a country type boy’s Valentine with you, circa 1920.

Here is another. Mail or bring replies to Rappahannock News, Box 38, Washington, Va. 22747. Letters to the editor More fire road data Editor: In reference to your front page article on February 7, the section of the Mt. Marshall Fire Road which crosses through the former Miller Farm was legally abandoned by the National Park Service when Manassas Investors, who had purchased the farm, subdivided it into seven parcels. To give the Park Service access to the park we ceded to them a strip of our land at the end of Route 625. They have not chosen to construct a road oh this land since they use other vehicular routes for their equipment but they arranged with the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club to lay out a hiking trail. The Trail Club opened an excellent path leading from the end of Route 625 to the upper part of theMt. Marshall Fire Road as it enters the park and erected signs notifying hikers that the lower part of the Fire Road is now privately owned. When Mr. Baumgardner asked permission for the Rappahannock Trail Riders to go through our newly constructed private driveway to the upper part of the fire road one Sunday in January we agreed to let them do so as a courtesy. We have not granted permission to anyone else to enter our private property on horseback or by foot and we want to re-emphasize this point. Dr. and Mrs. _ Norman Horwitz Chevy Chase, Md. Backing Virginia school budget Editor: I would like to urge all concerned citizens of Rappahannock to contact our delegate to the Virginia House of Delegates, Delegate D. French Slaughter, Jr. and express concern over the proposed budget cuts in the State Board of Education’s preliminary budget. Del. Slaughter is a member of the House Appropriations Committee. It is this committee that is currently preparing the Budget Bill which will be sent to the floor of the House of Delegates later this month. The original education budget was cut by former Governor Holton and further cuts are possible. These cuts could mean that state aid to localities would be less than anticipated earlier. The House of Delegates could, however, vote to restore any or all of these cuts. Some specific areas that will have reduced funding should the proposed budget cuts go through are: 1. The State Board requests a personal ratio of 50 professional staff members for 1,000 students in average daily membership. At the present time there are some 53.5 professional instructional staff per 1000 students. Governor Holton’s proposal would provide funding for only 48 pei* 1000. 2. The Holton Budget, proposes significant reductions in special educa tion and vocational education. 3. Free textbooks for public school students. Delores Dalton .

T H E L I T T L E F 0 X \2isdJSL ‘Emergency plan’ gets cool reception ROBERT L. Whitehead from the State Office of Civil Defense told Rappahannock County Supervisors January 7 that his office is ready to advise the county on “how to improve your emergency response capability.” The advice would be based, Whitehead said at the Board meeting last Thursday, on an “analysis showing what hazards are likely to happen in Rappahannock County.” The first step for Rappahannock would be hiring a full-time employe to coordinate emergency response, Whitehead suggested. “Col. McNear is doing a fine job as your Civil Defense officer but he just doesn’t have enough time to do the job as it ought to be done. He admits this.” How much would the program cost us? the Supervisors wanted to know. The State Civil Defense Office would finance half the expense, said Whitehead. ‘‘It’d boil down to your having to build half a building and pay for manning it half the time. If you’re planning a new county building anyway, you could slip this office in there, saving some.” THE CIVIL Defense Office was set up originally to handle nuclear attack, Whitehead said, but now more attention is given to natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes and tornadoes. Whitehead had a list of “hazards” and “emergen Jaycee cage action Saturday The second in a series of exciting basketball games featuring Rappahannock Jaycee cagers is scheduled for Saturday night, February 16 at the local high school. The Rappahannock Jaycees will meet the Culpeper All Stars which means there will be a lively contest. Preceeding the Jaycee game an Eighth Grade game will be played. The support of the public is urged for the proceeds will be used to provide a black topped combination tennis and basketball court for the county.□ cies” that could happen in Rappahannock, to convince the Supervisors they should adopt his program. “It’s the hope of our office that you will try to plan,” Whitehead said, warming up. “We can help you decide when to handle a disaster with your own manpower and when to call in outside help. But you’ve got to get organized, be prepared. And you have to have a full time man to coordinate it. ” “WE APPRECIATE your coming Mr. Whitehead,” Chairman Newbill Miller said. “It’s no problem to organize in Rappahannock County. You should have seen us during the Cuban missle crisis. The problem is staying organized. Disasters don’t happen here regularly enough to justify keeping anybody in the job.” Whitehead said it always “pays to be prepared”. He noted that he was sheriff in Nelson County when that area was badly damaged by * floods from Hurricane Camille. “You never know what will happen,” he warned. Miller suggested that the county might consider part of the program if they could “WASHINGTON’S BIRTHDAY SPECIALS!” FRONT ROYAL MILL END SHOP 213 East Sixth Street Front Royal, Virginia.

But we know we have a lot of internal problems we’re going to have to face. My suggestion would be that we study your action program and make a decision next month.” Whitehead made his final plea. “Granted, we’ve never had a nuclear attack here. But it’s a good idea to have someone around who can handle radiation. We can train someone for you who would come back to , the county and train others.” When the Supervisors didn’t respond to this angle, Whitehead added: “There’s always the chance that a vehicle carrying radioactive isotopes could wreck in your county. You need to have someone with the expertise and equipment to measure the radiation being emitted before you let the Rescue Squad approach it.” PETE LUKE asked Whitehead, “Is there any reason for a trugk carrying radioactive isotopes to be coming through Rappahannock?” “Not much. They usually travel on interstates,” Whitehead responded. The Supervisors thanked Whitehead for his visit, but declined to commit Rappahannock County funds or manpower for an “emergency hazard response center.—Pekay Pettus Two Days Only February 15, 16 SHOP IN CULPEPER AND SAVE CULPEPER RETAIL MERCHANTS association WQQOgQQQOeOQQaBBBBBBBBOnni

REPORT ON THE LEGISLATURE BY 'DEL. D. FRENCH SLAUGHTER, JR. THE GENERAL Assembly now has a total of 893 bills and 107 resolutions which have been introduced in both the House and the Senate. As with most sessions, bills cover a wide variety of subjects. A package of 19 bills is directed towards revamping programs in the State Welfare Department, which are intended to make welfare administration more effective and less costly and still provide assistance to those who need it and cannot help themselves. Other bills provide for allowing judges to impose sentences in criminal trials instead of juries, various versions of “nofault” insurance and increased state aid for community mental health services in areas of great need. There are bills to increase the weight limit for pickup truck licenses to 6,500 pounds and bills to modify or repeal laws relating to confiscation of motor vehicles for certain traffic violations on the grounds that the present laws are costly and inefficient to administer. A bill to allow use of studded tires from October 15 to April 15 has passed the House of Delegates. AS USUAL, there are various bills relating to revisions to the tax laws and appropriations for projects not included in the Governor’s recommended budget. I do not think there will be, and I do not favor, any general tax increases in this session. There are almost 50 reports from legislative study committees on various subjects. Most of these recommend new legislation, but I doubt that any major legislation, except welfare reform bills, will be passed in this session and the major legislative items from study committee reports will probably be deferred until next year or later to allow more time for consideration by the legislature.

AT THIS stage, it is difficult to predict the outcome of much of the proposed legislation because legislation is frequently defeated in committee or has substantial amendments by the time it is reported back to the House or Senate. The budget bill, which will be acted on by tha House and Senate in the last weeks of the session, will be of importance as always because this is where the financing and support of education, mental health, welfare, lawen^ forcement and all other'" activities of state government are provided for. Most of the efforts here, will be' to make as certain* as possible that appropriations do not exceed revenues from present taxes in a time of economic uncertainty.

Sign approved Frank Pullen given conditional approval - BY PEKAY PETTUS A COMPROMISE solution was reached Wednesday morning by Rappahannock’s Board of Zoning Appeals, allowing Frank Pullen to display a sign in front of his house reading “Frank’s Plumbing and Heating.” x-unen nao requesieu permission to hang a plastic sign that said he carried “American Standard” plumbing fixtures. But a petition signed by 34 of his neighbors and presented to the Board of Zoning Appeals by Bill Kiem asked that his request be denied. The petitioners claimed that the sign would be “nonconforming in an agricultural and residential zone.” They also objected to the reference to ‘ ‘American Standard” since the county zoning ordinance prohibits commercial signs advertising businesses outside Rappahannock County. “I’ll be glad to take ‘American Standard’ off, if that’s what’s bothering people,” Pullen told the Board. “I don’t want to cause any trouble. But I pay $160 a month for my place in the yellow pages and I want people to be able to find my place when they come looking for me. ’ ’ MOST OF Pullen’s installation and repair work is done in the Warrenton area, he said. “I have my answering service there, but I could keep busy here if people only knew me. But they don’t.” Pullen has a permit for a home shop, not a commercial business. ‘‘I keep some supplies there at the house but I try to keep it hidden from the road. I don’t keep my place sloppy. I just load up there when I leave in the morning. I’m not trying to run a business from there.” H. L. Manwaring, a member of the Appeals Board, asked Pullen if he sold his fixtures to customers at his house. * ‘‘If someone tells me their water heater is busted I’ll sell them one, Pullen said. “But I don’t drag people: in to sell to them over the counter.* I don’t fool with the sales tax or anything’.: All my shop is ; really u&ed for is storage.” r, , ^ THE APPEALS Board members wanted to know if those who opposed the sign had any complaints about Pullen’s home shop. “None at all,” BillKiem said. “Mr. Pullen has kept his shop and home neat and tasteful. My objection is to the sign.” Josef Gardiner, chairman of the Zoning Appeals Board, asked Pullen how much his new sign had cost him. “Sixty dollars,” Pullen said. “It won’t break you then,” Gardiner said. “No. It wasn’t a good sign anyway. It didn’t have my phone number,” Pullen said. “I think Mr. Pullen should be warned not to make permanent improvements on his place for business reasons,” H. L. Manwaring said. “He should understand that the permit he got for a shop was not intended as arezoning. Pullen said he understood that. “YOU WON’T be coming to us later to request a storefront to sell appliances?” Gardiner asked. “It’s a good idea to keep your neighbors happy, and from the reception this sign is getting I think a rezoning request would be opposed.” “I’m not trying for anything like that,” Pullen said. “I just want to get a sign up so people can find me.” Fanning Baumgardner, Assistant Zoning Administrator, explained that the maximum size allowed for a commercial sign is 20 square feet, but that can be varied by the Board of Zoning Appeals in accordance with “the public interest.” “I question if a 20 foot sign is in good taste,” Bill Kiem said. ”1 doubt it would be 20 feet across,” Baumgardner said. “It could be 4x5. Or 1 x 20,” he added. KIEM WAS asked the size of the sign on his property that advertises the sale of Christmas trees. “It was about 24 by 28 inches. But we only kept it. up until we got established. I’m convinced advertising on Route 642 is a waste of money. The 52 cars a day that come by know you’re there.” H. L. Manwaring asked, “He’s doing business in an area not zoned for business. We could refuse his sign. But do we have the right to permit him a sign?” "He s not operating a business, he doesn’t have a use permit. He only has a permit to have a shop at home,” Baumgardner said. ‘‘That’s all I’m doing,” Pullen assured them. “I THINK the man has a right to a sign the same as a doctor,” Gardiner said. “It would be different if he was asking for rezoning or storing equipment over his 9 1/2acres. But he’s obscuring that from the road.” Baumgardner agreed. “I think a business is like a title. It’s no different from a doctor.” “What about this sign you BMW OFF of Winter Merchandise Front Royal, Virginia Broken Sizes - All Sales Final !xSS%SSStS3e%%3ttC%S%X%%X%M3l*%%%%%%'K******'**%3asi have now? Is it unsightly?” H.L. Manwaring asked of Pullen. “I think so,” Bill Kiem responded. “I think it’s out of proportion.” ‘‘Do you think you could get a wooden one, done by a sign painter?” Gardiner asked, when he heard that Pullen’s first sign was plastic. ‘‘Okay. But what’s the legal size I can get for a sign stating my job and the phone number?” Pullen asked. A BOARD member suggested a 16 by 24 inch sign with no illumination. ‘‘That’s no bigger .than a doctor would put up, unless he was a quack,” H.L. Manwaring said. ‘‘Will that suit you?” he asked Pullen. ‘‘If that’s the best I can get. I do want the sign,” Pullen answered. Chairman Gardiner asked, “Now is everybody happy? “I’d like a copy of those names on the petition if I could have them,” Pullen said. “They’re public property,” Gardiner said.

In announcing the request, Commissioner Vern L. Hill noted that if rationing comes to pass, a valid driver's licence with current address and zip code may become the basic and most important identification document to qualify the private user for an authorization card to obtain gas ration coupons. “Please understand,” Hill emphasized, “we are not saying there will be gasoline rationing. Like all citizens, we hope it can be avoided. However, we believe it prudent and in the public interest to take this preliminary step, in accordance with the contingency plan of the Federal Energy Office.” IF AN address change has occurred, drivers are asked to notify DMV in writing or by visiting any branch office The notification must include name, both old and new addresses, with city , county and zip code, and the driver’s licence number. When received, DMV records will be updated and a new driver license forwarded. Notification by mail should be addressed to the Division of Motor Vehicles, P. 0.

Deer harvest over 60,000 HUNTERS in the Commonwealth accounted for a record total of 60,565 deer during the just concluded season, exceeding official estimates, said Richard Cross, Chief of the Game Commission’s Game Division. Statewide, 42,173 bucks were bagged; 30 percent of the total number taken (18,392) were doe deer. Examining the harvest totals by county revealed some interesting totals. Southampton County produced 2,862; Buckingham County 2,623; Fluvanna County, 2,313; Rockingham County, 2,154 and Cumberland County, 1,801. Antlered deer taken West of the Blue Ridge totaled 11,236, while East of the Blue Ridge, 25,071 antlered deer were harvested. As many as 45% of the animals taken in some counties were does, which should help to stabilize herds and reduce damage complaints in these areas. “On a statewide basis, deer populations should remain at an all time record high in spite of these small reductions,” Cross said.D WASHINGTON’S BIRTHDAY SALE AT ROSENBERG'S Rack Men’s Outer Wear 1/2 Price - Or less BODY SHIRTS Rack Dresses $1.92 to $4.81 Men’s Pants Group $4.81 Group of MEN’S BOOTS AND SHOES $4.81 & UP Group LADIES’ COATS Less Than 1/2 PRICE GROUP OF LADIES’ SHOES 96<? to $4.81 Ladies’ STYLE BOOTS $4.81 up to 1/2 PRICE ROSENBERG’S Culpeper, Vo. 96C to $4.81 Rack of Mem’s SPORT COATS AND SUITS 1/2 PRICE OR LESS Little Girl's STYLE BOOTS $2.88 WOODVILLE NEWS By MRS.

‘Sick’ Game Commission lake to be treated LAKE ORANGE, a 124 acre body of water in Orange County, owned by the State Game Commission, is soon scheduled to receive chemical treatment to eliminate stunted panfish, according to District Fish Biologist, Norville S. Prosser. The treatment will be undertaken in an effort to improve the fishing which has deteriorated somewhat during the seven years that the lake has been open to fishing. For the first six years of operation the fishing was excellent for the bass, bluegill and several other species which were originally stocked. However, in 1972 the size of the panfish caught by sportsmen was noticeably smaller. This condition worsened in 1973. The trend to smaller panfish is not uncommon at lakes which are intensively fished and where predators such as largemouth bass are harvested heavily. This heavy fishing pressure results in a fish community populated by too many, slow-growing (stunted) sunfish because of too few predators in the lake population. REHABILITATION of lakes with these conditions has, in the past, been accomplished by a complete draining and re-stocking operation. The disadvantage of this technique is that a lake treated in this manner must be closed to BIG 4-DAY SALE!

VIRGINIA fishing for a minimum of two years. A newer method of treating lakes with these symptoms is through the use of a relatively new chemical called antimycin. Antimycin is a fungal derivative very similar to the. common antibiotic penicillin. It is highly toxic to some fishes but not to warmblooded animals. Selective application of this chemical will eliminate certain sizes of some fish species while not harming the other fish. The treatment of Lake Orange will make the third Commission owned lake to be treated in this manner. Both Lake Brittle and Lake Shenandoah were treated with antimycin in 1971 and 1972 respectively. Shortly after treatment, fishing improved dramatically. At Lake Brittle for example, the bluegill harvest increased from 20 pounds per acre in 1971 to 50 pounds per acre in 1973. THE FISH Division plans to treat Lake Orange on approximately February 15, Prosser said. During the time treatment is under way, the lake will be closed. This should only be a matter of a few weeks' \ in duration to enable biologists to proceed unhampered with the operation. „ He went on to explain that, “although the procedure is still of an experimental nature, the fish biologists feel that the changes are good that fishing at Lake Orange can be dramatically improved by this process, thus avoiding the draining and restocking of the lake and placing the brief closing at a time when fishermen are minimally affected.”II FLINT HILL NEWS The Methodist Women’s Society will meet with Mrs. Thelma Russell Monday, February 18 at 7:30 p.m. Homemakers Club will meet at Flint Hill fire house on Tuesday, February 19 at 7:30 p.m. Mrs. W.J.

Conservation program to get started DEVELOPMENT o£ the 1974 Rural Environmental Conservation Program (RECP) in Virginia will get under way' immediately, according to officials of the .-State Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS). Virginia ASCS officials 'have just returned from Washington, D. C. where they met with Washington officials to learn details of this new conservation costsharing program. At the meeting they were told it is essential each State develop an RECP that “will strengthen conservation and environmental protection measures on American farms, and encourage the development, management, and protection of non-industrial private forest land.” Discussion leader for the conference was Ray Hunter, Director of the ASCS Environmental Quality Land Use Division. In outlining the goals of RECP, Hunter told the State officials, “The goals are to improve the quality of life, for all people, by improving the environment, providing the maximum public benefit with the funds available, and by conserving the land and related natural resources. This is to assure a continuing ability to produce food and fiber necessary for the maintenance of tT'^trong, healthy people and Economy, while providing for wildlife, and other environmental enhancement.” RECP incorporates features from the old Rural Environmental Assistance Program (REAP), in addition to the new, expanded scope of the 1974 RECP. This year’s program includes cost-sharing through annual or long-term agreements, and an extra emphasis on treeplanting for timber production, called forestry incentives. Details of these programs will be made available to Notice >■ NOTICE is hereby given that M. W. Suthpin and Peggy A.

Amissville crossover changes pressed RAPPAHANNOCK Supervisors have been told that Governor Mills Godwin, Delegate French Slaughter and State Senator George Aldhizer have received their letters concerning the Amissville crossover. “Godwin just acknowledged that he had received it,” Clerk E.M. Jones told the Board last Thursday. “But French and George say they’ll recommend a change in the design to (Highway Commissioner Douglas) Fugate.” The Supervisors had asked that the new fourlane section of Route 211 at Amissville include a crossover and recom mended some changes in the entrance of a secondary road onto Route 211. The Supervisors had also written state representatives to protest the change from commodity food surplus food stamps for welfare recipients. But Newbill Miller said, “What happened was we went to the wrong place. This food stamp program is being pushed out of Washington, by the Federal Government.

We get to go to that conference over at Luray,” T*ete Luke said. “The Chamber seems to have pretty much influence down at the legislature. It’s a good idea to keep up with what they’re doing.” “I just don’t see any tangible benefit,” Newbill Miller said. “Rappahannock County isn’t trying to promote that kind of commerce. It’s some money we could save.” The Board endorsed a resolution from the Keep Loudoun Beautiful Committee supporting a bill before th$ State Senate which would impose a ban on disposable beverage containers. “Anything that could help us with our trash problem,” Pete Luke said, voicing his support. “THEY (Keep Loudoun Beautiful) tell us the committee in Richmond is unfriendly and needs massive persuasion,” Miller said. “I suppose those people represent the chain stores that don’t want to handle it.” ' The Supervisors agreed to pay for new fire equipment for the Amissville Fire Department. The Fire Company will reimburse . the county later.

Norman Grimsley of Castleton has retired after serving 23 years as fire tower observer for the Division of Forestry. He was recently presented a certificate of appreciation for service by Forest Warden Clifton Jenkins. The fire tower, located on Red Oak Mountain, must be manned during the early spring when the weather is windy and dry, as well as during any extremely dry period. Early detection of the slightest smoke prevents what could become a disasterous forest fire. While working, Mr. Gnmsley walked from Hope Hill to the top of Red Oak each day to man the tower and returned home the same way.

The high school was packed and basketball tickets were sold out. It was an exciting game but after a valiant effort towards the end the Panthers were defeated 70-61. Saturday night we played an away basketball game with Stonewall Jackson. It was very close but in the end we lost by only 2 points. The final score for the Varsity game was 54-52. The J.V.’s put forth a lot of effort but were defeated by only a few points also. The Junior Varsity game ended with a score of 53-50. We’ll be losing an outstanding player this year. Harry Jordon played his last game as part of the Rappahannock Panthers Tuesday night. During his 5 years at RCHS Harry scored around 1200 points and recovered over 1000 rebounds. Mr. Douglas will continue coaching the basketball team next year. He is planning to have a winning team and starting line-up for the varsity will consist mainly of Juniors. Many J.V.’s will move up to Varsity for next season. Saturday night the J.C.’s will play the Culpeper-All Stars at the High School. Admission will be $1.00 for students and $1.50 for adults. The game will begin at 8:00 and the money will go towards the outdoor basketball and tennis courts. The 8th graders will take on the 2nd string Junior Varsity Team right before the J.C. game at 6:30. The same admission will be charged. Now that basketball season is over we can look forward to the spring sports coming up. Baseball practice will start this week. Mr. Douglas will coach the Varsity Team and Mr. Harvell will coach the J.V.’s. Their first game will be March 29. Mr. Toth, coach of the boy’s track team, expects that we will have the best track team this year that RCHS has ever had. We should make a much better showing at the state meet this spring. With Miss Speiker as coach, the girls plan to have a great team also. Don’t forget the Sweetheart Dance Friday night!

County Bicentennial outlined MRS. DOROTHY DAVIS informed the Rappahannock Supervisors at their meeting February 7 of plans for commemerating the nation's Bicentennial. Rappahannock County will observe the Bicentennial for the full year 1976, she said: ^Other localities arecelewating over a two year period.” HUNTLY MRS.

We loved you then, we love you still. Your memory is so fresh today as in the hour you passed away. You fought life’s battles . bravely and patiently 3. stood every test. You never will be forgotten and when we sit and think of you flow sweet the memory still. Your death has, left a loneliness this world can never fill. The shock was hard, the pain severe We never thought your death so near. Though you sleep in a silent grave We still grieve and long for you. For our hearts are broken. Though you are gone beyond out reach, you arealways in our hearts. Sadly missed by your loving children. Mrs. Davis cited the “rebirth” of the county’s historical society and the formation of a new youth group as helping the county organize for the Bicentennial, and “assuring that all spheres of society will be involved.” Two major projects that will be undertaken in 1976 are the dedication of the historical society building, ,and restoration of the Leverage Trail, a route west for the pioneers, which Mrs. Davis hopes will be a joint project with Fauquier County. “I HAVE two programs to present on how we can observe the Bicentennial throughout the year,” Mrs. Davis told the Supervisors. “The first is cost-free, and the second will cost the county a little money. I assume you want to hear about the free one first.” “You assume right,” Newbill Miller said. The free program would utilize already scheduled and organizations within the county and give them a “Bicentennial theme,” Mrs. Davis said. SHE PRESENTED a monthly schedule for Bicentennial events in 1976: A George Washington’s birthday tea in February; the Rappahannock Hunt point-to-point races in March, (“this is a traditional sport from Colonial days and Rappahannock is the birthplace of the registered American foxhound”); a county-wide house tour in April, (“you supervisors can select a home in your district to be open”); the annual May Day celebration at the elementary school; a costume ball in June (“we had one of these in 1957, the Jamestown Festival year, and we made money on it’ ’); a money-making fair day on July 4 to raise funds for the historical society building; the “birthday” of the town of -Washington in August (“we can have open house in the town”); ahayrideand picnic for members of the new youth group to Devil’s Stairs in September (“this was a recreation enjoyed by Colonial young people”); a Bicentennial issue of the Rappahannock News in October; Thanksgiving in November (“emphasizing Virginia was the site of the first Thanksgiving,”); and the annual children’s Christmas party at the library. “NOW, AS for spending some money on it,” Mrs. Davis said. “Keeter Parish is willing to update the illustrated county map that she did the year of the Jamestown celebration. And we’d like to update the brochures on the county as well. She and I have discussed it but we don’t know how much it will cost.” . The Supervisors agreed to pay the cost of printing the brochures and map. “Your program is well designed, thought out and reasonably priced,” Newbill Miller told Mrs. Davis. “So much better than something the government would work up.”D 4 BIG DAYS 14-15-16- 18 Thursday, Friday, Saturday and v Monday Values In Every Department That Will Save You Money * All Merchandise Reduced PRICE SALE AND MORE ROYAL PLAZA SHOPPING CENTER FRONT ROYAL

Supplemental Security Income data “PEOPLE are coming to our office in large numbers these days inquiring about or filing for Supplemental Security Income,” says Mrs. Hazel F. Crumpton, district manager of the Winchester social security office reported recently. “Many more persons are eligible, however, and we anticipate the volume of callers will continue for sometime.” The new program is administered bytheU.S, Government, paying monthly checks to people in financial need who are 65 or older, and to people in need at any age who are blind or disabled. The payments called “supplemental security income” began in January. The new program has taken the place of FederalState programs of public assistance payments to people who are 65 or older or blind or disabled. States will continue to provide them with Medicaid and social services, and some states add money to the Federal payment. People who have little or no regular cash income’and who do not own much in the way of property or other things that can be turned into cash, such as stocks, bonds, jewelry, or other valuables, may get supplemental security income. THE AIM of the program is to provide monthly checks, when they are needed, so that anyone who’s 65 or older or blind or disabled can have a basic casli income—for one person at least $140 a month, and for a married couple, at least $210 a month.- These amounts will increase to $146 and $219 a month in July 1974. This doesn’t mean that every eligible person gets that much in his supplemental security income check every month. Some people get less because they already have other income. Some get more because they live in a State that adds money to the Federal payment. A person who is single (or married but not living with his spouse) can have assets—things he owns— worth up to $1,500 and still get payments. The amount for a coupler is $2,250. This includes savings accounts, stocks, bonds, jewelry, and other valuables. Not everything owned counts as an asset. A home with a market value of $25,000 or less doesn’t count.

PERSONAL effects or household goods also do not count as assets in most cases. Insurance policies* * or a car may not affect eligibility either, depending on their value. People can have soma money coming in and still get supplemental security income. The first $20 a month in income generally isn’t counted. Income above the first $20 a month (apart from earnings) generally reduces the amount of the supplemental security income payment. This includes social security checks, veterans compensation, workmen’s compensation, pensions, annuities, gifts, and other income. People who work while they are getting supplemental security income can earn as much as $65 in a month without any reduction in their Government payment. The payment is reduced $1 for each $2 in earnings over $65 in a month. For eligible people who live in someone else’s household—a son’s or daughter’s home, for example—the supplemental security income payment may be reduced. EVEN THOUGH the Social Security Administration runs the newU.S. Government program, supplemental security income is not the same as social security. The money to pay supplemental security income comes from general funds of the U.S. Treasury. Social security benefits are paid from contributions of workers, employers, and self-employed people. Social security funds are not used to pay supplemental security income. People who get social security checks can get supplemental security income, too, if they are eligible for both. People who think they may be eligible for sup' plemental security income can apply, or get more information by contacting the ■ social security office at 20 S. Cameron St., Winchester. Office hours are 8:45 to 5 p.m. Monday through .-Friday. The telephone number is 667-1511.□ CHURCH NOTICE A Hymn Sing will be held at the Assembly of God Church, SperryvilleoaSaturday, February 23,at7:00 p.m. The Rev. Ralph E.
