Old school gets a new lease gn l ife By PEKAY PETTUS THE old school on Mt. Salem Avenue in Washington is being transformed into a residence “in the Southern tradition,” which, among other things, will mean installation of a soaring portico with six 20-foot high pillars and an elaborate interior redecorating job. Neighbors and former students won’t have to remain outside, wondering what happened to the blackboards where they first encountered the multiplication tables, or window sills where they carved their initials, for what they assumed was posterity. The new owners, John and Sizie Lipko, plan three housewarming parties, sometime around next* Chirstmas—one for the workmen, one for anyone who went to school in the old building and another for guests “by invitation only.” Plans for the old school house are based on the Lipkos’ extensive entertaining habits and penchant for growing things, flowers and vegetables. Plants seem to dominate their decorating scheme. Inside the old building, the Lipkos have already removed the many closets that lined halls and classrooms. And the wide stairway in the middle of the hall is now “freestanding” with all visible means of support removed. “WE MAY marble this hall, if we can get it, but we’re not sure,” Mrs. Lipko says. “Anyway, there will be a huge stained glass window at the head of the stairs.” From the existing window at the top of the stairs, the auditorium attached to the rear of the building and the roofs of the classrooms at its side can be seen. The Lipkds have removed part of the floor in the upstairs hall, enlarging the opening over the stairs. Now the stair railing will run straight up the steps, turn to each side at the landing and rise two steps more to the upstairs hall. Then the railing will extend around the opening, so the upstairs rooms will open onto a sort of balcony, overlooking the steps and downstairs hall. “We’re looking for a tremendous chandelier to hang from the upstairs ceiling, over the stairs. And there’ll be French doors opening from the upper hall onto the front portico,” Mrs. Lipko said. AS A school, the building had four classrooms on each floor, two on each side of the center hall. On the first floor, the Lipkos plan to have a library and living room on one side, a dining room and a kitchen on the other. “We’ll have French doors with wrought iron stairs leading into little Busy weekend TAKE TIME Saturday, April 6 to visit Rappahannock County. In addition to the beautiful peach blossoms in delicate pink attire gracing the hillsides along with the bright yellow forsythia, a number of events are scheduled.

PANCAKE AND SAUSAGE SUPPER at Amissville fire hall beginning at 5 p.m. sponsored by Amissville Ruritan Club.D Rappahannock’s old school in Washington will soon have a "Southern style” columned portico with six pillars, twenty feet high. courtyards from the back rooms,” Mrs. Lipko said, pointing to the space between the old building and the auditorium. “The courtyard out of the library will be an all white garden, white gladiolias, white peonies, white dahlias, white shasta daisies. This one,” she continued, crossing through the narrow passageway that connects the auditorium to the main building, “will be entered from the kitchen. Here we’ll have herbs, hollyhocks and sweet peas, the kind of things your grandmother’s garden had.” Four massive chimneys will be added to the main building. And there’ll probably be eight fireplaces. “Upstairs we’ll have a master suite, our bedroom and our sitting room will each have a fireplace and we’ll have ‘his’ and ‘hers’ baths. Across the hall we’ll either have two bedrooms, each with a fireplace, or another suite. Another suite, I think,” she said, making up her mind. “You know, when the drapery man saw this place he nearly had a heart at• tack.” Mrs. Lipko noted that each room has about eight windows, each nearly eight feet tall. Before undertaking the list of her plans for the auditorium wing, Mrs. Lipko paused to talk about her plans for the front yard. “All pink out here, a line of weeping cherries along the wall, and some pink peonies. The driveway will sweep in through that entrance, circle under the portico and swing around to the side where we’re going to build a four-car garage with an attached greenhouse.” “WE BOUGHT the land across the street too; we’ll do it in yellow, forsythia and daffodills. That’s where I’m going to put my cow and calf. We’ll have to build a little house for them first.” Then, Mrs. Lipko elaborated on her ideas for the back of the house, starting with the former auditorium. “We’re not going to divide up this spacious room. It’ll be great for parties. There’ll be a huge fireplace on this side. Tall enough for you to stand in. There’s so much bland space along these walls. It really baffles me. But I think I’ll stop by Spain next time I’m coming from home” (home, she mentioned, is a house in Switzerland as well as an apartment in Washington, D.C.) “and pick up some really large paintings. “You know the students at the Prado copy the old paintings on really huge canvases. Sometimes their work looks better than the originals. A bunch of those should take care of our problems with these walls.” “OF COURSE furniture for a room on this scale is hard to find. We may go to a hotel auction in New York later this spring and pick up some good sized tables. “We’ll keep the stage, adding red velvet curtains. We’re getting a piano for one side and an organ for the other. There’ll be a planter with all kinds of See Page 17 County tag deadline near THE deadline for securing Rappahannock County automobile license tags is April 15. These tags, which are stickers to be placed on the windshield of the vehicle, must be secured and mounted not later than midnight April 15. The tags are all due at that time andare NOT due on staggered dates like the state license. According to Rappahannock County Treasurer and Sheriff, there has been some question by county residents concerning these tags. Once again — every vehicle licensed in Rappahannock County must have a 1974 Rappahannock County windshield license tag on it by midnight April 15.C

Managing Editor Telephone Washington 475-5349 ‘Renegade’ power “THESE RENEGADES are getting all the grants,” said Pete Luke, at last week’s meeting in Culpeper of the Rappahannock-Rapidan (Region 9) Planning District Commission. The Colonel made no secret of his displeasure about how Madison and Culpeper seem to be getting more grant Rinds than the actual members of the commission. Fauquier and Warrenton representations to the District meeting were as concerned as Pete Luke, and here’s hoping they translate their concern into a searching inquiry into the situation. If Madison and Culpeper don’t want to join the district, that’s their business and we have no quarrel with their decision. But we do wonder about some of the things that were said when Rappahannock and the other commission members were being pressured into joining up. State officials were quite blunt about it—join up or lose out on lucrative (and needed) state and federal grants. So if membership was necessary to obtain grants, why does it seem that Madison and Culpeper get all the goodies? “It’s not fair to take it out on them just because they won’t join,” said the executive director of the planning commission, when Pete Luke and others complained. Who says? It wasn’t “fair” for state bureaucrats to tell Rappahannock and Fauquier, they wouldn’t get consideration for grants if they ditki’t join, either. IT APPEARS THAT fundmanship is a game that state and federal bureaucrats play when it is to their advantage, to use for whatever power it might contain for a specific instance. Up in Northern Virginia, for instance, a vast “super sewer” plant is being promoted by the State Water Control Board, over the explicit desires of the local jurisidictions involved. That was something else that was not supposed to happen under Virginia’s new concept of “regionalism.” Remember? These regional groupings were just harmless formalities, with no power and no intention of meddling in local affairs, everyone was assured. It isn’t quite working out that way.D RAPP GHATS Ry RAP OWINGS, Vtn if AmU ’ APPLE AND PEACH GROWERS—Ed Phillips, Area Extension Fruit Specialist, will be in Rappahannock County every Wednesday 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. from now through May.

Mail or brii« replies to the Rappahannock News, Box 38, Washington, Va. 22747. Letters to the editor RLEP head confident about Vepco case Editor: With reference to the article by Ed Harris in the last editions of the (Piedmoot Virginian and Rappahannock News) concerning the Vepco transmission line case now before the State Corporation Commission, we appreciate the author’s interest in assuring that Vepco does not build a new line across his farm or across anyone else’s land. That is precisely why the the Rappahannock and Warren Leagues for Environmental Protection challenged the corporate giant and committed resources into the future to establish the nationwide precedent of using existing corridors rather than virgin landscape for new transmission lines. However, we must make several corrections in fact to that article: 1. Our attorneys did indeed challenge the need for any new line after initially reserving that right until the utility case had been presented. 2. Our February 21st efforts to defeat House Bill 664 in the General Assembly, now pending signature or veto by Governor Godwin, were because local governments and interested citizens are not also a party to utility planning. The lull specifically indues local governments, groups and imfividuals in S.C.C. one-stop licensing procedures long after utility investment in planning and surveying has been completed (my words) and if they can afford it. Our March 16 letter to Gov. Godwin was mailed that date to this newspaper as a letter to the editor. 3. Commissioner Preston Shannon has followed Bradshaw as 1974 Chairman of the S.C.C. We trust that, regardless of the final S.C.C. decision or results of appeals by either party, those landowners and friends of Rappahannock, Warren and nearby counties who have contributed to this vital case will have been well represented. Those of us who have been present for all 20 hearing days and witnessed the development of about 4,000 pages of official record are confident the Commission will rule that any new transmission line will be built where the damage has already been done and not to further sacrifice needlessly Virginia’s natural and real values. R prtup j,^ President, RLEP Vepco letter Editor: I am most grateful for the interest and concern on the part of your fine paper that prompted you to run my article about the proposed Vepco powerline last week, and I am sorry that the copy I sent you was so illegible in places that a tiny but important error appeared in the published piece. I had written that under Bill 664, local governing bodies would only be permitted to participate in hearings in Richmond, and in filing briefs. The word “only” came out as “not,” so let me make it clear that under the pending measure all local governmental bodies, such as zoning or planning commissions and so on, would indeed be allowed full expression of their views at Richmond hearings. However, this I feel is a far cry from the past situation in which numerous counties have had the legal right to stop such monstrous powerlines based on strong local guidelines, such as the local public health and welfare, local historic and scenic values, and so on. Bill 664 in one stroke would remove these important local airings and roadblocks, and create a one-stop hearing in the state capital, which should greatly please all big powerlines. It is, also, much more inconvenient for local residents to travel to Richmond to voice their objections than to appear at local public hearings, usually in their local courthouses. Ed Harris Huntly

T H E L I T T L E F 0 X Regional ‘red tape’ is questioned ARE regional planning district commissions just another piece of expensive red tape? Representatives to the Rappahannock-Rapidan (Region 9) Planning District Commission expressed a mixture of anger and dismay at last Thursday’s meeting in Culpeper. Some members felt they had been misled in the reasons given for joining the Planning District Commission. “I thought a county couldn’t get (federal and state) funds without joining,” said Fauquier Supervisor John B. Adams. “These renegades are getting all the grants,” added Rappahannock Supervisor Pete Luke. And on a similar ^ tangent, Fauquier Planning Engineer Richard McNear, who serves as chairman of the Commission, complained that without monetary participation in the district by Culpeper and Madison Counties, the Commission won’t have enough money for regional planning. FAUQUIER, Rappahannock, Warrenton and Orange are members of the Commission. When the Planning Districts were designated by the state a few years ago, county officials were told that they would not receive state and federal funds for sewers, mental health, and the like without joining. The Commissions would also be good for coordinating local and regional planning, it was stated. But it hasn’t quite turned out like that. The “renegades”—Madison, Culpeper, and the Town of Culpeper—are getting grants; in fact, the Commission has spent most of its time approving grants for the “renegades.” But without representation from Madison and Culpeper, the Commission won’t receive a $15,000 grant from the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). And without the extra 20 cents per capita membership fees from the “renegades,” the participating counties will have to spend 22 cents per capita—or $5,066 for Fauquier, $1,144 for Rappahannock and $902 for Warrenton. SUCH A situation will relegate the Commission to a $75,000 budget in the next fiscal year, said Commission Executive Director Art Warren—a budget where there will be no funds for regional planning and local planning aid. There will be enough to pay Warren a salary of $16,600, a criminal justice planner at $8,000, secretarial help and office space. If either Culpeper or Madison join the Commission, planning could be paid for through a$134,000budget, which would include a special $40,000 planning grant, half of which would go directly to Fauquier. The planning district’s 10-month budget last year was approximately $60,000. The Federal department of Housing and Urban Development gave the district a special grant of $15,000 to get started. HUD won’t give the funds this next fiscal year unless the District Commission represents 75% of the population in the district. FAUQUIER Supervisor David Botts commented at twists 0* W«'6OTS <e ^ToftEASE HER That’S SUrebere the iS Buy *herC mui’s on E 8th St », ,ront rovae last Thursday’s meeting that “things might look gloomy now, but they might brighten up next week.” Apparently, Botts and others with contacts on the Culpeper and Madsion Boards have been working hard to get the new members in the district. The Commissioners’ indignation over the membership situation grew as the meeting progressed, especially as they considered a number of grant applications from Culpeper and Madison. The Commission was supposed to approve a “Chapter 10” mental health program for the district so that three mental health centers could be built—one in Culpeper, one in Warrenton and one in Orange. The total grant application for the three centers was made by the Culpeper Board of Supervisors, acting as the agent for the District 9 Mental Health Board.. “So here’s an application from Culpeper,” commented Warrenton .Councilman Stan Haworth. “Why does everything have to be centralized here? And they won’t even join!” “There’s been some HUD changes,” advised Warren, “I don’t think we could withhold funding from them. We have a commitment for the whole area. Maybe it’s unfair we have to foot the bill, but we have a moral obligation. It’s not fair to take it out on them just because they won’t join.” “THIS district is a synergetic system,” said Luke. “You don’t put headquarters in a place you don’t occupy.” Fauquier Planning Engineer Richard McNear, who serves as chairman of the District Commission, made some comment that maybe the whole problem can be resolved soon, although he, too, was. upset. Later in the meeting, the district’s first criminal justice grant application since a criminal justice* planner had been hired came in for photographic material for Madison County. Shaking their heads, the Commissioners approved the grants Then there was a review of a small sewer plant for a'church camp in Madison. The State Water Control Board asked the Commission if the sewer plant was in line with regional plan ning. “How do we know?” asked McNear. “We don’t have funds for a regional plan, and we don’t know how Madison feels about this.” The Commission decided to approve the plant informing the SWCB that there is no regional plan and local input. McNEAR handed out a copy of the proposed budget to the Commissioners. “Let’s all look over this by next month,” he suggested. Commenting about the lack of HUD grant if Culpeper and Madison don’t join, McNear just said: “This creates a problem.” “I was hoping we could do more regional planning,” continued McNear, “and also give local planning assistance.

Another ‘rustic’ bridge is planned *' OLD IRON truss bridges are being torn down all over Virginia. In the Piedmont, the State Highway Department is attempting '-to replace the scenic old bridges with “rustic” featuring tinted concrete bridges. Two such “rustic” bridges, that have a strange pink hue, have been built in the area—one in Rappahannock County at Laurel Mills, and the other between Rappahannock County and Fauquier County on the Flint Hill Road (Route 647). Now the Highway Department plans to replace the iron truss bridge over the Rappahannock River between Fauquier and Culpeper Counties on the Springs Road (Route 802). 'Die Highway Department is advertising its “willingness for a hearing,” which means if enough people write in complaining about the project, a public hearing will be held. All written comments have to be in by April 12. Fauquier - Rappahannock Highway Department Resident Engineer Don Askew says that iron truss bridges are “unsafe.” Ever since an iron truss bridge between Ohio and West Virginia collapsed about ten vears aeo. killine over 100 Bridge club Mrs. T. L. Eastham entertained the Flint Hill Bridge Club Wednesday evening at her home Ben Venue. Her guests were Mrs. B.J. Wood, Mrs. Harry Lee Smith, Mrs. James F. Massie, Mrs. W. A. Moore, Jr., Mrs. L.B. Burford, Mrs. Emory Russell, Mrs. G.W. Smith, Jr., Mrs. W.G. Eastham, III, Mrs. F.W. Spalding, Mrs. Thomas B. Massie, Mrs. Earl Edmonds and Mrs. Paul Miller. Prizes were awarded Mrs. Miller, Mrs. Edmonds, Mrs. T.B. Massie and Mrs. Spalding.C people, Virginia and other states have established special funds to eliminate iron truss bridges. WHEN MOST of the iron bridges were built at the turn of the century, says Askew, they were remarkably strong structures. But increased road traffic heavier vehicles and time have weakened the bridges. Sometimes the once sturdy stone abutments are now cracked. “They’re unpredictable,” shrugs Askew. “A big tanker truck could go over with no problem, then it could break under the weight of a small sports car.” The trusses are held together with four metal “pins”—two on a side. It’s impossible to tell when a pin might break, says Askew. Askew agrees that the old iron truss bridges are “nicer” than concrete bridges, but he said he knows of no one who now makes the parts for an iron truss bridge. And if someone did, its likely cost would be prohibitive, he added. ASKEW IS proud of the tinted concrete bridges that are replacing the truss bridges, although he admits some improvements are needed. “At least they’re better than the ‘1-95’ type bright concrete bridges with aluminum guard rails on country roads.” Askew says his is the only district in the state to build these “rustic” bridMiss Hughes Miss Mary Virginia Hughes of Richmond died Tuesday, April 2, 1974, in Plyor’s Nursing Home in that city. She was a native of Rappahannock County. Funeral arrangments were incomplete at press time.D 1 "1 ROSSON & TROILO Jeep Soles & Service Brandy Manor UNIROYAL Steel-Belted Radial Tires C J 5 Jeep Front End Alignment and Balancing from the Smallest Compact to the Largest Truck ges. Instead of bright white concrete, it’s tinted with ferrous oxide (dry coloring) so the concrete- will look like the natural rock color in the area. The ferrous oxide comes in ten colors—Sand, Suntan, Terra Cotta, Yellow Buff, Goldenrod, Canyon Red, Tile Red, Brown, Nile Green and Slate. The problem, admits Askew is getting the right color. The first two “rustic” bridges iii the district have a strange pink hue. Askew hopes that by making some core samples of nearby rocks a better color mixture can be made. The problem is that most rocks are multi-colored, with blotches of reds, greens, blues, but basically gray. Over a period of time the pink hue will fade, said Askew, leaving a color closer to that of rock in the area. Besides the colored concrete, the “rustic” bridges’ guardrails are made from a special weathering steel, instead of bright al uminum. The steel, called “Core-10,” was developed l?y U.S. Steel; the outside coat of the steel forms a rusts, crust, protecting the rest of the metal. The guardrails along the top of the rustic bridges are made of telephone poles, another departure from bright aluminum.

Woodworking exhibition PETER KRAMER, a Washington, Va. cabinetmaker and builder, will present a free woodworking demonstration and furniture exhibit on Saturday, April 6, from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. at his shop in Washington. The demonstration marks the opening of a local display for the artisan’s handicrafted reproductions. The new showroom will be ready for the public, but is still undergoing restoration, as is most of the old apple-packing shed which houses his workshop. The building historically was a livery stable and blacksmith shop and for a number of years an apple packing center for the production of local orchards. The craft program will feature Kramer and two of his cabinetmakers, Ben Giles and Joe Williams, in simultaneous demonstrations contrasting the use of antique tools with modern power equipment. Until now Kramer’s work has been sold largely through New York Department stores and decorators. His furniture has been featured in a number of professional model rooms and has been favorably reviewed by The New York Times, Furniture World Daily, and other publications. Recently the noted decorator, Barbara D’Arcy, published her book “Bloomingdale’s Book of Home Decorating,” which displays a number of Kramer’s reproductions. The exhibit will present a new series of softly worn reproductions including tables, dressers, desks, a hutch, a corner cupboard, and wall boxes. Most have never been shown before. They feature authentic designs with hand forged hardware and a “distressed” hand rubbed finish not readily available today. □ TO THE CITIZENS OF RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY Rappahannock County taps 90 an sain March IS, 1974.

. GRANDPA JONES SAYS: “That makes me mad, and when I’m mad I’m mad I’m mad.” Well, Si ain’t mad at nobody, but what is that song about narrow minded people on a narrow minded street? Let us think this week about religious bigotry. Some think that the Jewish Bible is the only book that was ever written for the betterment of mankind, and that Christianity is the only great religion. Mohammedism was forced on a people with this choice—Kiss the Koran or die. Some exponents of the Christian faith think you have a choice—accept our creeds and dogmas or go to hell. We quote from the Bible frequently. We love it; I just don’t take it as literally as some. In its original writings it was in poetic form mostly, I’m told. In some of the modern forms it is reverting back to poetry. David was a shepherd poet of ancient times, his twenty-third Psalm is beautiful. “Yahweh is my keeper, I lack nothing.” And then “I will live in His , house forever.” It is said that poets speak the language of the gods. Whittier was a more contemporary poet, his Eternal Goodness rivals, if not exceeds, any poetry extant. Read the whole poem, here are the first and last verses.— “O friends with whom my feet have trod The quite aisles of prayer, Glad witness of your zeal for God And love of man I bear And Thou, 0 Lord, by Whom are seen Thy creatures as they be, Forgive me if too close I lean My human heart on Thee.” Jesus made the ambiguous statement that He was like the Father. Some have grabbed onto that as mean<- • ing He claimed to be God. He also said that John the Baptiser was the reincarnation of Elijah, they ignore that. Christ said that the Father IS the Holy Spirit, that He IS Love. The God-of-my heart IS THAT God. I do not accept your little god who gets mad, gets jealous. “I’ll get you for that” type of being. We’re what WE sow—that is ALL. That is what the Law of Karma is all about— GOD’S LAW UFOs subject of speaker MAJOR Donald U. Keyhoe, ex Marine pilot, former director of the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena, will speak on “UFOs” at the annual AAUW Book and Author Luncheon, at 1 o’clock Saturday, April 27 at the Holiday Inn, Culpeper.

Delegates urge Bill 664 veto TWO MEMBERS OF THE Virginia House of Delegates from the 17th House District have asked Governor Mills Godwin to veto a bill that would remove from localities jurisdiction in the selection of high tension powerline routes. Delegate A1 Smith said he sent a telegram to the Governor stating that “I would appreciate it if you would consider vetoing Bill 664.” Smith said a large number of voters in his district have expressed opposition to the measure. And Delegate Andy Guest said he has “urged and requested Governor Mills Godwin to veto House Bill 664.” Guest said he urged the veto, because “it would erode the decision-making powers of the local governing bodies by denying them the zoning powers which are necessary to implement their comprehensive plans.” THE BILL provides that the State Corporation Commission must give written notice to the governing body of each county and municipality through which, a proposed electrical utility line is to be built. > A fourth proposal of the bill would be that approval ■ by the Corporation Commission be deemed to satisfy requirements for local public hearings by the localities! Planning Cortimissions and any other local ordinance. In urging the veto, Guest further stated: “I feel it reasonable to expect a public utility company to comply with the needs of the different localities as put forth by locally elected officials.”□ Henry Block has 17 reasons why you should come to us for income tax help* Reason 1.

Sign-up for RECP programs scheduled THE sign-up for area farmers to start conservation work „ under longterm agreements on federal cost sharing has been set for a three week period ending on April 12, according to Thomas R. Taylor, chairman of the Rappahannock County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation (ASC) Committee. Taylor said the long term agreement—3 to 10 yearsis a provision of the new Rural Environment Conservation Program (RECP) the opportunities “very extensive” under the longterm agreements “because they guarantee funds for a number of years and will deal with the widest variety of rural conservation prac tices for the public benefit on record.” However, the program requires that the farmer come in during the sign-up period, that he bring an approved conservation plan for his farm, and that he be able to assure starting his development this year, Taylor added. THE RECP conservation measures will take into account all aspects of soil and water conservation, affects on near-by areas, and the needs of the areas by man, animals, and wildlife. Both the Soil Conservation Service and the Forest Service will provide technical services and planning assistance. CHESTER GAP By BESSIE M.

The cost sharing has toeen set at 50% to 75% on all costs incurred, including labor. THE sign-up from March 25 to April 12 does not apply to die one-year agreements or the forestry incentive practices of the RECP. However, Taylor said the ASCS offices also encourages other farmers and landowners to sign up for these two programs as early as possible because of the late start this year.

Old school gets new look From Page 11 growing things in front of • that.” Mrs. Lipko is ready with plans for each of the former classrooms opening off the auditorium. “One will be a bar, done in Gay Nineties style with lots of tables and chairs. Red upholstery, you know* Behind the bar we’ll have a fully equipped mini-kitchen, so we can serve hot food. “Here we’ll have a little theater for showing home movies. Just a lot of big comfy chairs.” ANOTHER will be a private dining room. “So you can get away and talk while the other guests are dancing.” There will also be a photography darkroom. “We decided to go ahead and put it in, since we’re so close to the water pipes (next to the former girls’ toilet). It’ll be kind of a shop, too, so Mr. Lipko can pursue his hobby of ‘electronics.’” The extra room may be used for a bedroom. “To be such a big house we’ll only have three bedrooms.” Mrs. Lipko seemed especially tickled with her plans for the old restrooms. “FOR THE girls we’ll do it like a theater dressing room, lots oflightbulbs around the mirrors, a chaise, a screen to look like someone is dressing behind it. “We’re keeping four stalls. I think that’s enough for a private homfe, don’t you? And we’ll paint the stall walls white. Then we’re going to get a special pencil so that everyone who went to school here can come sign their name. Then we’ll shellac over that.” Instant grafitti. “In the boys’ room, we’ll have the old dentist’s chaff' we found in the office outside. I’ll plant cactus in the latrine. That’ll be really funny. And we’ll keep just two stalls. Oh yes, I’m going to pick up a telephone booth. The men’s room should have a telephone booth, even if it doesn’t work.” In the basement under the auditorium, the Lipkos plan a caretaker’s apartment and a wine cellar. Even the animals’ quarters have not escaped Mrs. Lipko’s attention. “Gingham curtains in the chicken house and an old blackboard out of the school so I can keep track of who is laying how many. The dogs will have their own living room. I’ve already bought them cushy chairs and a sofa. We’re using them now for the workmen to rest in, in their muddy clothes, while they’re working on the house. LEST MRS. Lipko’s ideas seem too far fetched, her current living quarters, the former agriculture and shop building, show that the lady is serious. She’s taken advantage of all the windows and turned it into a “living greenhouse.” Plants in scores of bright new aluminum Suzie Lipko stands on the first step of die “freestanding” ; stairway in the old school in Washington. pails swing on chains of varying lengths from the ceiling, hundreds of seedlings, for vegetables and flowers, cover table and counter tops, geraniums peek from the doors of potbellied cast iron stoves. “We’ll have a sort of plant chandelier over this table,” she said, holdingup the wooden yoke for a team of oxen and explaining that it would be hung from the ceiling and plants in buckets, pots and pails, hung from it. “And i can do something similar with this old logging chain and hook somewhere else.” She’s made some fast friends at the Rappahannock Farmers’ Co-op, Mrs. Lipko claims. “But they’re all curious about what I’m doing with all these buckets and chains.” “What we really want to do with this place is show that there’s no need to throw anything away,” she said, and picked up the ends of an old iron bed. “One of these I can use for a gate,' the ironwork is really quite nice, and the other I might stick in the ground, to run my sweet peas over.” “SOME OF my favorite finds have been these old stoves,” Mrs. Lipko said. She gestured toward a tall one used as a planter, then toward another one, square shaped with chairs on each side which looked as if it was about to be set for tea. Two more identical stoves, short and narrow across the front but about, three feet long stood against the wall, five feet apart. “That’ll be my desk as soon as the piece of glass to stretch between them for a top arrives.” Another will be adapted as a table lamp, with the bulb and lampshade sprouting opt of the pipe. Pails of tomato plants and a cast iron stove decorate the former agriculture and shop building. The curtains at the windows are made of sheets. One fireplace in the “lit- , tie house” is already blazing; another is under con- / struction. “I’m really crazy about this little house. I wanted to get old flour sacks to use for curtains, but I couldn’t find enough. “I expect we’ll use this as guest quarters, or a great place to throw a party when we don’t want to mess up, or fix up, the main house.” The Lipkos had looked . for a house “with big rooms” for nearly three years. “One day I was driving by, about 80 miles an hour on the bypass, and saw the huge thing, standing empty. I screeched on the brakes and hurried into town to find the first real estate agent I could. Arthur Miller told me it was for sale. My husband came down that next weekend and we bought it.” Mrs. Lipko has decorated houses and apartments other than her own. “I’d have a hard time doing it professionally, for just anybody. It’s so much more fun when you have an unlimited budget and you can let your imagination run wild. I did the entire house for one couple in New York, right down to selecting all the kitchen utensils.”□ 5L VUkite Shop Siitk Cate Shopping Center, Culpeper , Va.
