The large tray in the center is given by the Fannon family. Mrs. James F. Massie is in charge of selecting the trophies. Entries for the races are good and with just a little cooperation from Mother Nature the outlook is excellent for a spectacular day. Rappahannock is next RAPPAHANNOCK HUNT HOSTS the second of Virginia’s point-to-point races Saturday, March 2, with post time at 11:30. Held at Thornton Hill Farm in the mountainous area near Sperryville, this meeting, with its unique hound race is probably the most “countryfied” and informal of all in the Virginia circuit. First on the card of nine races is the pair race, and among the entries are the winners from last week at Casanova, Mr. and Mrs. George Cabeen from Old Dominion Hunt. Rappahannock’s entry from Elzy Brown Farm, in third place last year, should offer good competition. Among the entries for the Double Gate turf race, are Larmonde Stable’s Irish Model, second last Saturday, with Gray Price riding and Muzzle Puzzle with S. D. Murphy up. Mistletoe Farms has entered Blue Rabbit and Little Evader. Next is the Mount Salem, ladies’ timber race, which has three entries by last week’s winner, Sally Strawbridge, her Lost Lamb, Rendrock and Pundanui. Mistletoe Farm has entered Kinda Late with Pann Ross Drunagel riding and Bit O’ Victory with Bonnie Beach. Joan Jones will be on Royal Warrior. THE OPEN HURDLE RACE has thirteen entries so far including last year’s winner, Arthur Franklin’s Battle Ripple and Sally Strawbridge’s Stretch II. Last week’s winner at Casanova; Mr. and Mrs. Richard Rector’s Ronald, and the place and show horses, H. R. Heflin’s Lady’s Tune and Kathleen Wellford’s I Achieve are also to run. Randolph Rouse has entered Buen Palsano and Bongo Mongo, and Arch Kingsley is running Artist’s Haven and Madagascar. The Mary D. Slaughter memorial, open timber race, has among its local entries Satin Cheeks, ridden by owner Billy Dodson, Rappahannock Hunt whipper-in; Edward Stephenson’s Rose Rhythm, ridden by Jonathan Ruhsam, and Mrs. Redmond Toerge’s Orsinette Smite with Dr. William McCormick up. Last week’s winner, John Latta’s Dooberg’s Dare, will be contending, as well as two of See Page 4 Final powerline evidence received VIRGINIA’S State Corporation Commission has received final testimony and evidence from all parties concerning the proposed Vepco/APS (Allegheny Power System) 500,000 volt transmission lines for Northern Virginia. During the last of the 20 days the commission has devoted to the case, electronic computers were in the spotlight. The SCC hired Dr. Robert Giles of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University and the firm Technical Associates Inc. of Richmond to develope a program to select the low - est cost “ratepayer” route for transmission line between any two predetermined points. The computer selected a route from Mt. Storm to Morrisville very similar to that already surveyed by Vepco, deviating from the Vepco line by only as much as a mile and a half in Rappahannock County. The computer selection was based on property values assigned to 25 - acre “grids.” VEPCO’S attorneys produced rebuttal evidence challenging the accuracy of the computer, specifically questioning the values assigned to the “grids.” Using the computer methodology, Vepco’s attorneys said, they calculated with a higher cost to the “ratepayer” for the computer’s chosen route. They also claimed that some cells within the already surveyed Vepco route had a lower value than computed. Attorney’s for RLEPand WLEP (Warren) argued that only property values, not environmental costs, were fed to the computer. Representatives from Technical Associates Inc., the firm sponsoring the computer plan, agreed with RLEP’s contention that using existing powerline corridors is the cheapest route, based on environmental and property values, for the new transmission line. ACCORDING to Virginia statute* it is Vepco’s responsibility to prove why existing corridors should not be used, RLEP argued. The case rests until May 1 when briefs will be filed. The Commission is expected to make an interim decision then, and perhaps hold the final public hearing. Meanwhile, three basic routes are being considered, the already surveyed Vepco/APS route, extension of the existing corridor and the computer path which would involve many additional landowners in Rappahannock’s Wakefield and Jackson districts, to the west of the surveyed areas. RLEP attorneys agreed that the computer could be a useful tool for plotting future powerline routes where there is no existing corridor, as long as environmental factors are included in the information fed to the computer. □ Play set, March 15,16 “THERE IS a real art to doing a so-called children’s play,” says Don Bomberger, director of “Winnie-the-Pooh.” This first production by Country Road Players, sponsored by the local education association, is scheduled for March 15 and 16 at 7:30 p.m. on the Rappahannock County Elementary School stage. The play is about A. A. Milne’s famous bear who, with rabbits, a skunk, a aonKey ana a pigiet, uvc in a fantasy forest. Their peaceful life is disrupted suddenly by a “strange and ferocious animal” — a kangaroo known as Kanga (Lynn Baines) and her offspring, Roo (Erin Labovitz). Kanga captures Piglet (Camille Prescott). The other animals, masterminded by Winnie (Kathy Am) and Owl (Cindy Davis), devise their own ploys See Page 12

LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Regional snares IT IS WITH SOME misgiving that we venture upon the subject of this week’s editorial; previous comments about the dangers of “regionalism” in government inspired some rather sharp replies from Rappahannock officials involved. But the continuing trend toward imposing regional solutions on localities, whether they like it or not, commands our attention. The dangers to a locality of regional water and sewer programs and regional highway plans are becoming increasingly apparent, and we would once again advise Rappahannock to ponder long and hard before entering into too many such arrangements, no matter how innocently they are purported to be. Most of us have read about the trials and tribulations of Northern Virginia’s experiences with regional sewer arrangements, and of Maryland jurisdictions in the Washington metropoli- - tan region. Up there, you can’t even keep tons of sewage “sludge” from being dumped on you, if you’ve signed one of those regional agreements. Admittedly, a lot of those problems are of a degree and nature unknown to rural Rappahannock. But where regional arrangements are concerned, events have a way of escalating beyond local control in a hurry. IT’S MUCH LIKE the situation Rappahannock and some neighboring counties find themselves in right now regarding kindergarten programs in the public school system. From what we’ve heard, enthusiasm for this step is by no means universal. Yet, the state has decreed that this is what must be done, and so be it. Where’s the local control over education, long cherished by local citizens—who are also, be it noted, local parents, too! Many things are obviously better done on a regional, state or national basis. Each county, each town can’t maintain a prison system, sus-^ tain a vast highway department or pay for an Army, Navy and Air Force. But up until now it has been important that individuals living in distinct localities also have a say-so over their destinies. Let’s not lose sight of that heritage in the rush for an elusive economic efficiency masquerading in the name of “regionalism.”D ‘Critical’areas RAPPAHANNOCK’S Planning Commission recommended to the Board of Supervisors a resolution that entrances to the Shenandoah National Park be designated as “Critical Environmental Areas.” The resolution would have the Supervisors support “all legal and reasonable means to keep these areas in their present state of natural beauty” and regard the park entrance as legal rights of way. The Supervisors will consider the resolution at their meeting March 7.D Barns The barn on the Fodderstack Road near Washington which is owned by Ned Settle was the structure pictured last week and recogmzedby a number of readers.

Letters to the editor Price data requested Editor: It would be a great help to most of your subscribers in Rappahannock County if you could include in each issue prices from the Front Royal Livestock Market. Most of Rappahannock livestock goes there and the prices are usually quite different from Madison and Culpeper. I would also like to comment on the proposal for an “Emergency Plan.” Ihave examined many fallout maps. The area in which Rappahannock County is lo cated is about the safest in the country. The prevailing winds carry fallout from an attack on Washington to the East. Other probable attack targets are so far distant or so located that fallout from them would likely be dissipated before it reaches us or bypasses us. I am opposed to hiring any new person to administer such a program. If a plan is evolved it should be operated by present county personnel. Bureaucracy seems to breed bureaucracy, some times without cause. H. L. Manwaring Woodville Editor’s note — Both the News and its sister publication, the Piedmont Virginian, have received requests for more livestock market information, and beginning with this issue we’re glad to be able to comply. As for the point about an “emergency” bureaucracy, we couldn’t agree more, and said so in a recent editorial.□ FIRE & RESCUE NOTES Washington Rescue Squad February 20 took Joe Sparrow of Vienna from Rappahannock Ski Area to Fauquier Hospital in Warrenton.

Subdivision road standards * J 2 RAPPAHANNOCK planning commission members think they’ve finally arriv-ed at a “flexible” set of standards for roads within subdivisions having a minimum lot size of 25 acres. * The new road criteria, 'drafted by Pete Luke and , Fanning Baumgardner, was c discussed by the Planners 1 at a meeting Tuesday night. i At an earlier meeting, Luke and Baumgardner had presented criteria based on U. S. Army roads. But fellow Planners thought those roads involved excessive construction and were designed for more traffic that would be using a Rappahannock subdivision road. So, Luke and Baumgardner prepared a new set of standards — this time based on roads within the-'"' Shenandoah National Park, Luke said. GUIDELINES for the new criteria state that roads must lie “lightly upon the land utilizing natural support wherever possible... heavy cuts and fills must be avoided. In effect, the road is molded to the terrain upon which it is pass Rappahannock next From Page I Sally Strawbridge’s, Friar s Patch and Pundanui, with Skip Brittle riding. Sixth race is the Durant Hill, amateur hurdles, which will count toward the First Colony trophy. Entered are last week’s successful competitors, Witold Kuncewicz’ In the Know, the winner, Mrs. Redmond Toerge’s Ask the Price, Ernest Oare’s Zoomer and Kevin Palmer’sKool Kake. Next is the Mount Marshall, gentlemen’s timber race in which local horseman Oliver Brown will ride Miss Cherry, others entered are George Strawbridge’s Foxonewa, Mrs. William Taggert’s Flying Boxcar, Paul Wimert’s Minaccia, John R. S. Fisher’s Chicaboom, Frederick Meserve’s Royal Arkane, and the cross entries of Orsinette Smile, Rose Rhythm, Friar Patch and Palazo. THE BEN VENUE, OWNER-RIDER timber race with Seven Corner trophy points, is eighth on the card and has the top three from last week’s race, Randolph Rouse’s Quashed, Ernest Oare’s Allen B. J. and Roy Graham’s Boca Bird. Others are Arch Kingsley’s Long Cheer, Robert F. Palmer’s Audio Econ, David Semmes’s August Acorn, Harry Ruhsam’s Mr. Continental, George Strawbridge’s Foxonewa, L. Leffertes’ Patrick and Randy Rouse’s BuenPaisano and Free Movement. Final, and probably the most hotly contested race of all, is the hound race, which has 66 hounds entered. T. E. Olinger’s Skeeter, last year’s winner will be back again. Jack W. Bruce, former huntsman of Rappahannock Hunt, has entered 20 hounds, and other local sportsmen with numberous entries are J. M.

A diagram and list of specific construction requirements is attached to the narrative guidelines. It outlines a minimum “traveled way” of 12 feet, minimum shoulders of two feet and a right of way of 50 feet. That much right-of-way is needed for “manuvering,” Pete Luke said. “It gives them room to make allowances for drainage and sedimentation patterns and large trees.” Luke said that he and Baumgardner had attempted to draw up something flexible, as requested by the Planners, “so that if they come to two big trees close together they might just narrow the road for a fpw fppt n Newbill Miller was pleased with the road standards. “Only one thing School Menu Rappahannock Elementary Monday, March 4 Hamburgers/buns Potato chips Lima beans/corn Pineapple/grapefruit Milk Tuesday, March 5 Pizza Green Peas Coleslaw Applesauce Bread/butter Milk Wednesday, March 6 Vegetable soup/crax Peanut butter sandwiches Apricots Cookie Milk Thursday, March 7 Beef stew Tomatoes Pears Brownies Bread/butter Milk Friday, March 8 Tuna fish Potato chips String beans Fruit Jello Bread/butter Milk bothers me; no where in here do you mention culverts and how often the water leaves the ditch. We’d said that our big worry with these roads was erosion and that water flow is the cause of it.” He added that more culverts diverting the water from the ditches would be needed on steeper grades. LUKE agreed with Miller’s comments. “You’re exactly right. That water has to leave the ditch before it gains much momentum. Otherwise it’ll just dig it out.” Perhaps drainage and culverts could be handled by the administrative agent, Miller suggested. “Maybe we could just include a paragraph on how we regard drainage and culverts as important,” Luke said. “Then it could be up to the administrator to see that it’s carried out. Baumgardner noted that the Subdivision Ordinance requires that. the subdivider has to maintain the road for a year. “If he’s got to maintain it, he’ll find out pretty quick that it needs culverts.” Newbill Miller said, “I don’t think that alone will do it.” The Planners agreed that Luke and Baumgardner would draft a paragraph on culverts and drainage to be included in the guidelines. “THIS IS the best set of road criteria Tve seen, including the U. S. Army,” Newbill Miller said. “You’ve got more than a See Page 8 p-— I In pioneer days, good neighbors helped rebuild l when e home wes deI stroyed.

Supplemental income regulations explained “PEOPLE are coming to our office in large numbers these days inquiring about or filing for Supplemental Security Income,” reports Mrs. Hazel F. Crumpton, district manager of the Winchester social security office. “Many more persons are eligible, however, and we anticipate the volume of callers will continue for sometime.” The new program is administered by the U. 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 cash 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 A workshop on making cornhusk dolls was given Wednesday by Mrs. Charles Albright of Washington in connection with Homemakers Club activities. Mrs. Roberta Jackson, Rebecca Gatewood and Mrs. Ronald Wiley, seated, participated in the demonstration. Henry Block has 17 reasons why you should come to us for income tax help. Reason 16.

Some get more because they live in a State that adds money to the federal payment,” said Mrs. Crumpton. 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 couple 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. And the Federal Government will not ask for liens on the homes of people who get supplemental security income. 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 some 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 maybe reduced. EVEN THOUGH the Social Security Administration runs the new U. 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 supplemental 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. Countians see a volcano ONE OF Hawaii’s volcanoes put on a spectacular display during the visit of two Rappahannock county residents late last month. Retired Navy Captain and Mrs. Howard Holschuh of Castleton, and his mother, Mrs. Marie Shaw of McLean, were staying at the Kilauea Military Recreation Camp on the big island of Hawaii, when the volcano, Mauna Ulu, began erupting less than ten miles from their cottage. A camp bus took sightseers as far as possible, but those wanting a closer look had to walk in the last mile or so to a high vantage point less than a quarter mile from the fissure. “When we first saw it,” Holschuh said “there was just an occasional spurt of lava. But as we watched, it grew into a steady fountain of molten rock, superheated to over 2,000 degrees, shooting 100 to 200 feet into the air.” The fountaining continued for three days. Lava overflowed the crater rim, and cascaded in shimmering red and gold rivers down the side of the mountain, about 4,000 feet above sea level. “WE WERE one of the last groups to get in to see the fountain by night” said Holschuh. “Shortly after we left the overlook, the lava flow engulfed the footpath we had just walked on, and continued downhill to cover the road a mile away to a depth of 12 to 15 feet.” As suddenly as it had started, the eruption ceased—on the day before the Holschuh’s left Hawaii. □ Subdivision From Page 4 Cine road when you use these Army rules,” Baumgardner said. “Good enough to fight a war on,” Pete Luke added. “Shouldn’t rule it out,” Phil Irwin quipped. “We might have to. The Planners had decided earlier that they would have one set of road criteria for 25-acre lot subdivisions with five lots or less, and a more stringent set for those subdivisions with more than five lots. But they finally agreed to use Baumgardner’s and Luke’s standards to cover both.—Pekay Pettus

Cross. Bags of annual game bird mixture, each sufficient to plant 1/8 acre, are available free to qualified landowners and clubs and civic groups who can substantiate that they have land available for planting. The materials are attractively packaged in clear plastic bags with a multi-color illustration of game birds on the front. The annual game bird mix consists of soy beans, cowpens, Korean Iespedeza, German millet, brown-top millet, buckwheat, milo maize and rape, harvested from Game Commission Wildlife Management Areas. It has proven to be attractive to quail turkeys, doves, rabbits and deer. It is best planted in strips along field edged adjacent to cover. Woodland fire trails, abandoned logging roads and power line or pipe line rights of way are excellent. Orders for the game bird mixture should be placed with the game warden assigned to the county in which the property is located. Materials will be delivered in time for spring planting. A total of 91,000 pounds were planted by 12, 500 cooperators in the spring of 1973. FEDERAL assistance for developing wildlife habitat on agricultural lands is available through local Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation offices. Wildlife improvements included under “G” practices in the Agricultural Conservation program provide for cost sharing in establishing wildlife food and cover, fencing to exclude livestock and constructing ponds. In a related program the Virginia Division of Forestry makes available, at a nominal cost, three species of shrubs attractive to wildlife. They include autumn olive, bristly locust and bicolor lespedeza. Orders for these plants, which cost $2.50 per hundred (minimum order is 100), may be placed with the nearest District Division of Forestry of from the Division of Forestry, P.O. Box 3758 Charlottesville, 22903.□ NOW IS THE TIME - THIS IS THE YEAR With the high cost of food, it is important that everyone make a garden this year.

Lower Southeastern prices reported SOUTHEASTERN producers received slightly to sharply lower prices during the week ended February 22 on most items. USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service reports. The exceptions were broilers, peanuts and grain. Feeder cattle prices dropped $1' to $5 at southeastern markets, and feeder calf prices lost $1 to $6 a hundred pounds. Hog prices continued their downward trend with declines of $2. GRAIN — Cash grain prices in the Southeast area finished the period ending Feb. 21 with a continuing upward trend. Soybean prices ranged 5 to 30 cents higher, corn ranged 8 to 20 cents higher. Best demand for both corn and soybeans was from export buyers. Soybean processors were mostly on the sidelines with adequate supplies of soybean meal to meet currently slow feed demand. Country movement was fair to good for corn and on the light side for soybeans. Cash corn bids to producers in Southeast Virginia were 15 to 20 cents over a week ago at $3 to $3.20; Wilson was up 16 cents at $3.16; and Richmond prices ranged $3.12 to $3.20 South Carolina points held steady at 10 cents higher with the Piedmont area at $3.10, and Central$3.05 to $3.10. Alabama trucklot quotes were $3.30 to $3.35-3/4, and Georgia multicarlot offerings were $3.32 to $3.32-1/2. Terminal prices ranged 8 to 16-1/2 cents higher with Memphis at $3.28 to $3.35 and Norfolk $3.33. Southeast Virginia bids were steady to 25 cents higher on soybeans at $6.25 to $6.45; Richmond $6.32 to $6.42; South Carolina Piedmont and Central areas $6.30 to $6.44 and Coastal $6.60. Terminal prices at Memphis were 3-1/2 to 6-1/2 cents higher at $6.44 to $6.51. Norfolk prices were sharply higher by 22 cents at $6.57 to $6.59. Raleigh was up 7 cents at $6.40 to $6.62. CATTLE—Trading on feeder cattle and calves slowed during the week ended February 21 under a narrowed demand at markets in the Southeast, and prices worked substantially lower. The revised downward price structure fit the nationwide pattern as price declines were general and considerable on fed steers and heifers and feeder cattle and calves as well. Prices on beef at the carlot level also declined sharply for the second week in a row, and this, of course, was a strong factor in the downturn on live animals. Apparently, feedlot operators are determined to lower the costs on cattle entering the feedlots as the increasing cost of feed has made the cattle feeding business a precarious venture in many instances. Compared to one week earlier at southeastern markets, feeder steers markets, feeder steers were $2 to $5 lower and steer calves $2 to $6 lower. Heifers trended $1 to $3 lower, and heifer calves were $1 to $4 lower.

VA exams necessary VETERANS scheduled for medical examinations for compensation and pension purposes should make every possible effort to report as scheduled for these examinations. In the event they cannot keep their appointments, veterans should notify the VA Outpatient Clinics in advance; failing to give advance notice to the clinics makes “losers” of both the VA and the veterans. For the veteran, it means unnecessary delay in completing action on his claim HOUSE WARMING A house warming shower for Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Baines was given Sunday afternoon by the ladies of Sperryville United Methodist Church. About 40 guests, friends and neighbors were present at the Baines new home near Ben Venue on Route 729. Many attractive and useful gifts were received.□ and subsequent receipt of his compensation or pension check, and it could result in setting his claim asside for failure to cooperate. For the VA clinic, it is valuable time lost when physicians, technicians and clerks have reserved time for a veteran and then he fails to appear as scheduled. Usually it is too late to schedule someone else in his place, and other veterans, waiting in line to be called in for examinations, are thereby penalized for no fault of their own. WHEN a veteran realizes that he cannot report for an examination at the specified time, he can be of service to his fellow veterans as well as to VA medical personnel, if he will call and advise the VA Outpatient Clinic. This will enable the clinic to schedule another veteran in his place. Edwin L. Pomeroy, of the Front Royal Office of the Division of War Veterans’ Claims, is in Washington at the Clerk’s Office on the 1st and 3rd Monday from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. and will gladly give more details on this subject or any other matter connected with veterans’ affairs.□ Si Sez “HE WENT ABOUT doing good.” It seemed that He could not restrain Himself, even on the Sabbath. He healed the sick. There were hippocrats at that time; disciples of Hippocrates, that was probably before they earned the appelation HYPROCRITE. Yes, Jesus found time to heal the sick whenever the need was there. Try to find a hippocrat on weekends. Well, the Book says to do all your work in six days. Couldn’t doctors stagger their time, in order someone could take care of emergencies? It seems paradoxical to me that medical science will try to prolong life in a dying person and neglect the living who actually need % help. I just realized recently that Jesus discouraged littering, when He fed the four and the five thousand people He told them to gather up the scraps of food. Now the wild life of those Galilean hills would have made short work of the food^ But Jesus said in effect: “Don’t litter.” r There was a so-called religious leader in recent years whose followers littered to the nth degree. It is said that the routes they traveled were strewn with litter of various kind, from all sorts of things, to discarded containers of all manner of alcoholic beverages. Yet, this man was an idol of his people; an idol with feet of clay. There is an inate desire in our hearts to worship something we consider better than ourselves. Let us worship that ONE that Christ told us to worship, Our Father in heaven. The Bible says that God loves ;? His world. I wonder if He were to give us another commandment it might not be ; DON’T LITTER.

Bun tin, the driver said he was forced off the road by another vehicle, lost control of the rig and turned over.

February 19, 1974 in September 1976, according to a report submitted by the County School Boardk to the State Department of Education. The report “investigates various aspects” of implementing the kindergarten program, according to School Board Chairman I.R. Kilby. The State Standards of Quality Act, passed by the legislature in 1972 requires all Virginia Counties to set up a kindergarten program by 1976 or lose state funds. Rappahannock will receive no additional money from the state to fund the kindergarten program. Ninety children will be eligible for the program, according to Robert Leonard, Assistant Superintendent for Warren and Rappahannock Counties, but based on past attendance records at preschool programs only 80 are expected to attend. NEITHER Leonard nor Kilby could estimate how much the program will cost Rappahannock. “We’re just on the threshold of giving this serious thought,” Kilby said. “Not enough has been decided yet to know how much it will cost.” But the program will mean a major increase in the school budget. Additional buses, equipment, classrooms and teachbrs will be necessary. Leonard said the 80 extra students will require at least three more classrooms and teachers. He added that existing school buildings in Rappahannock are now full, but did not say that new construction was necessary. “Perhaps space can be found,” he said. LEONARD said that the kindergarten program is not “adding another grade.” He refers t<? it as a “readiness program.” “We accept the children where they are. We prepare them for the first grade, providing them with where they are. We try to prepare them for the first grade, providing them with the experience they need to begin learning math and reading skills.” Five-year-olds will attend kindergarten for a full, * eight hour school day. - Pekay Pettus SOCIAL SATURDAY A social at Rappahannock Community Center is scheduled for Saturday, March 2, at 8 p.m. with an admission fee of 75 cents for adults and 50 cents for children.

REPORT ON THE LEGISLATURE BY DEL. D. FRENCH SLAUGHTER, JR. BOTH THE House of Delegates and Senate during the past week have had to vote on an unprecedented number of bills that have been reported by the various committees. This past Monday was the last day the House could vote on House bills and that the Senate could vote on Senate bills, and from now until the end of the session each house must vote on bills that the other house has passed. As this is written, I do not know what form the various controversial and major bills will take by the time they are voted on by either the House or the Senate; but among the bills that are likely to be voted on by either the House or Senate are revisions of the Blue Law, bills to provide collective bargaining for public employees and the pari-mutuel betting bill. The non-returnable beverage container bill which would require a deposit on all beverage cans and bot ties is still being considered in the Senate and the outcome of this legislation is uncertain. The critical environmental areas bill was defeated in a Senate committee. The bill to establish state lotteries has been defeated in a House committee. The legislature has passed, and the Governor has already signed, a bill increasing the Governor’s executive powers to deal with the gasoline shortage. I am confident the Governor will use his authority wisely, but eventually the gasoline shortage and energy crisis will be handled, or attempts will be made to handle it, on the federal level. THE BILL to provide a department of corrections (penal institutions) separate from the Department of Welfare has passed both houses by a unanimous vote. This will provide more emphasis on the management of the penal institutions. The budget bill has passed the House of Delegates MOYERS MOTOR CO., INC.

I will discuss this bill next week when there may be a clearer idea of what changes the Senate is likely to make in this bill. There were some reductions in the budget as recommended by Governor Holton and there were some shifts in the priorities as to the projects to be fund ed. However, there was no reduction of appropriations for any of the activities of the state government, including education, mental health and welfare. There were reductions in requests for funds which were made by various agencies, but this was necessary because if all of the requests had been granted the budget would nave oeen in the red by approximately $1 billion for the next two years. Overall, the budget will have an increase of approximately 20 percent over the preceding two-year budget period. Next week I will have a similar report on 1974 legislative activities. □ HUNTLT NEWS George McKinney of Front Royal was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Cameron Sunday.

Gordon Gifford, editor of the Virginia Employment Commission’s Economic Indicators magazine. “We had been expecting a leveling off or slight, decline since October,” Gifford said, “but it did not materialize as soon as we thought it would.” “The energy crisis seems to have had little to do with December’s poor performance,” he added. “The rise in unemployment insurance claims, for instance, can be attributed in part to the temporary stopping of construction work because of the heavy snow in mid-December. Also, many manufacturing workers on reduced work schedules lost enough time from work to qualify for partial unemployment insurance benefits, but were not considered unemployed. THE VEC’S forecast for 1974 which appeared in last month’s Economic Indicators, predicts that business will decline during the first half of the year and then pick up during the second half. Although many other economic observers are pessimistic about the economy, the VEC still stands behind this forecast. The three indicators which rose over November’s levels were: nonfarm employment which rose to 1,896,900 from 1,893,700; unfilled job openings with the VEC, up 9.5 per cent; and average weekly earnings of''manufacturing production workers, up by 30 cents to $141.82. GIFFORD thought that the increase in unfilled job openings with the VEC was probable attributable to difficulty in matching available workers to available jobs, in view of the rising unemployment rate, H) to 2.8 per cent from 2.5 percent in November. Compared to December 1972, 10 of the 18 indicators declined, six rose and two were unchanged. □ Lenten program A LENTEN PROGRAM sponsored by three area churches is scheduled to begin March 5 and will include a Dotluck suDDer and a discussion to follow.

Motorists need flares EVERY motorist should carry red reflector flares or torches as part of his safety equipment. “Any stationary object on the highway is a potential danger to motorists,” says John T. Hanna, director, Highway Safety Division of Virginia. “By using flares or reflectors to warn oncoming traffic, stopped motorists can protect themselves from other vehicles. However, motorists should be careful to use only those warning devices which have been approved by the State Police Superintendent.” For maximum protection of passenger vehicles, place flares about 300 feet, the length of a football field, from a stopped vehicle on a straight road. A second one placed closer to the vehicle is recommended. STOPPING on hills or curves increases the element of danger. If this happens, flares or torches should be place far enough from the vehicle to give approaching motorists sufficient warning. Virginia law requires any disabled, bus, truck, trailer or mobile home to use at least three flares or torches to warn other highway users. Two should be placed in the center of the disabled vehicle’s lane, one not less than a hun Wool program THE incentive price of 72 cents a pound for marketings of shorn wool and a support of 80.2 cents a pound for mohair will continue unchanged in 1974 from 1973 levels, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has announced. These prices are in accordance with the National Wool Act as amended by the Agricultural Act of 1970 and the Agriculture and Consumer Protection Act of 1973. The National Wool Act, as amended, requires that support shall be at the above levels for each of the marketing years beginning January 1, 1971 and ending December 31, 1977. Pulled wool will continue to be supported at a level comparable to the incen uve price lor snorn wuoi through payments on unshorn lambs. AS IN past years shorn wool payments will be based on a percentage of each producer’s returns from sales. The percentage will be that required to raise the national average price received by all producers from shorn wool up to the announced incentive price of 72 cents a pound. Mohair payments will be calculated in a manner simular to wool. Present market conditions indicated that payments will not be required on 1973 marketings on either shorn wool or mohair. Present market prices are above the support levels. □ Summer job forms VIRGINIA high school seniors who plan to pursue careers in the natural resource field may apply for summer jobs with federal resource agenc es under a program sponsored jointly by the Department of Interior, the U.S. Forest Service of the Department of Agriculture and the Izaak Walton League of America. Game Commission Executive Director Chester F.

The committee is seeking students “who have demonstrated potential for leadership and scholastic ability and who are physically capable, inmost instances, for field work.” ■ To apply, students should supply a: completed U. S. Government Form 171, which is available at any post office or federal building, and a transcript of their high school record.
