VIRGIN' Volume XXV, Number 26 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA • THURSDAY, MAY 2, 1974 FIFTEEN CENTS New timbering in Rappahannock A NEW type of logging operation is under way on Rappahannock’s Long Mountain. In only 12 working days, 35 acres of pine woodland were cleared and the entire crop of trees converted into chips. Dick Dost, from the Vienna - based equipment firm of Needham and Dost, is overseeing the project. He estimates that it’ll take two and a half months for his 12-man team to complete chipping the 200 acres .assigned to them on the property of the late Frank McGee. Dost calls his operation “unconventional,” compared to traditional logging methods. “We use a machine that looks like a backhoe, a Drott Cutter. It slits the tree off, right close to the ground, picks the whole thing up and lays it aside. “Then another machine drags the trees, about six at. a time, up to the chipper. There the entire treebranches, needles and the trunk—is turned into chips and shot into the trailer.” “Everything we handle is turned into chips to be used for fine writing paper,” Dost said. “The advantage of our operation is that we use everything. We don’t leave any laps.” Laps are the parts of trees which can’t be used for making lumber, such as treetops and branches and small trees. They are usually left scattered after an area has been logged. “WE LEAVE the land clear. We can take the laps left by a logger, we can take the little trees, we can even take the stuff lying around dead, if it’s not too tangled up.” “So the landowner gets more, because we use more. And it’s easier to replant. The state loves to come along after us and replant. And what we leave— low stumps, close to the ground, a few tangled up sections—will rot out in no time. Pine rots real quick. So a lot of landowners, like on this tract here, just put it in pasture.” Dost does most of his work for Westvaco. “They locate the tract for us and we contract to take it out and send the chips to them. All this is going to their paper plant at Luke, Md.” “IF IT’S going to be used for paper, the wood’s got to be chipped anyway. They used to take out all the trees in four foot sections, for lumber or paper. They See Page 6 Town election on Tuesday Washington residents will vote Tuesday for mayor and council members. Dorothy Davis, a former mayor, is running unopposed for that office. There are six candidates for the six council seats. Incumbent council candidates are Mrs. Edna Way land and Mrs. Dorothy Hawkins. Peter Kramer, June Jordan, and Charlie Jenkins are running for council for the first time. Mrs. Virginia G. Miller, who has served as acting mayor since former Mayor Andrew Kozik moved, is running for treasurer, a position she held prior to serving as acting mayor.C Faye Dunn takes off to clear the bar at 4 ft. 9 in. to take fourth in that event at Friday’s track meet. A “Drott cutter” chops off a tree at ground level, lifts it, and lays it down. Girls break records RAPPAHANNOCK High’s girls track team broke six school records and three members qualified for state participation at the track meet last Friday at Strasburg. Katie Pendleton broke two records; one in the 100 yard dash at 12.5 and one in the 220 with 27.8. She was also high scorer for the meet. Other records were Mary Hudson with a time of 69.5 in the 440, Lisa Day in the 880 with 2:47.3; Lisa Day in the hurdles with a 12.5 and Maureen Day with 5 feet in the high jump. Faye Dunn, Lisa Day and •Maureen Day qualified for the state meet in the high jump by leaping 4 feet 9 inches or better. This performance must be repeated in the district meet to obtain entrance to the state events. Margaret Jett, who heaves the shot, has not been topped this season, and should easily take the district championship. KATIE Pendleton racked up 18 points during the meet for high performer. She was first in the 100 and 220 yard dash, 440 relay and second in the long jump. Lisa and Maureen Day were in second place with 11 points each. Many of the Pantherettes had the best scores of the season at Friday’s meet. Connie DelGrosso, a freshman, showed much improvement and promise in the 880 and the hurdles taking a second and a fourth, respectively, and Nina Metzinger, also a freshman, is looking good in the discus with a throw of 81 feet 10 inches.□

Entered as Second Class Mail at the Post Office in Washington, Virginia. Subscriptions (in advance) $4 in Rappahannock and adjacent counties; SS in Postal Zones S thru L MRS. SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 More ‘alternatives’ LAST WEEK, the piece in this space touched on some of the contradictions that arise among friends when they get to talking about ways to improve the county and save the countryside. People don’t want highways but they say they like railways, which could be just as bad, as far as development goes; people say they want “orderly growth” instead of disorderly growth, but the end result of horizon-to-horizon paving might be so alike that no one could tell the difference; people will say they want sewage treatment plants to clean up the streams when financing of such plants could call for an influx of development that could cause more pollution than existed in the first place. We wily touched on these few examples because we ran out of space. A week of brooding about it has brought to mind a few more: • Good, sound citizens with a demonstrated concern for the countryside will suddenly bestir themselves and proclaim that their lovely county can only be saved if it has a Master Plan. State and Federal regulations stipulating that rich, fat grants can only go to counties with such documents give added strength to their arguments. The only trouble with this, is that there are few Master Plans we’ve seen in the Northern Piedmont that do anything about preserving the countryside. Oh, they’ll protect a whole lot of “growth” and “progress,” and try to project it into certain places so it will be “orderly” (that word again), but more often than not Master Plans become road , maps for developers and speculators rather than tools for preserving a rural environment. • Get a plan here, a bureaucrat there, and a commission somewhere else, and sooner or later there’ll be talk of all the “services” that should be added to make the county a better place in which to live. Like parks. There may be acres and acres of open space for everyone to enjoy, but suddenly it isn’t right without parks. It’s always been our feeling that in a rural area, you don’t need all that many parks. A ballfield here and there is fine, but parks? • Still on the question of Master Plans, a favorite theme of such exercises in this part of Virginia is to call for concentrating development in existing towns and villages, so as to keep the countryside open. But that would mean higher densities of population—no more big shaded lawns, no more side lots for gardens or grass, no more generous setbacks from the street, and quiet back alleys. It would mean townhouses and maybe even apartments, and a great many Americans we’ve met don’t like things like that, not the ones who live in places like Rappahannock. • So what do you do to meet this objectionset up five or ten-acre, or larger, “conservation” or “agricultural” zones? That sure wouldn’t do much for preserving the countryside, and, besides, in both the higher density communities and the sprawling single-family lots you run again into sewer and septic tank objections. AND SO IT GOES. We must conclude this piece as we did the first one: Saving the Piedmont isn’t going to be easy, but it remains an eminently r worthwhile objective.□ Page 2 Buv spotters are falling down on the job for no one identified the barn last week.

Letters to the Editor Powerlines are harmful Editor: As a recent newcomer to Rappahannock County I was appalled to learn of Vepco’s plans to erect yet another transmission line across our countryside. Will these be our forests of the future? Will our next generation grow up never seeing the unbroken sweep of a clean horizon? The visual pollution of these stark towers is bad enough but there is increasing evidence that these new high voltage power lines may be harmful to life that surrounds them. One of the side products of high energy discharge into the atmosphere from uninsulated power lines is the formation of ozone. 0zone has been shown to damage vegetation from citrus groves in California to white pine forests'in the eastern United States. In addition, experimental laboratory animals chronically exposed to ozone show lung damage similar to emphysema, as well as an increased evidence of sterility, neonatal death and deformed offspring. Similar results are thought to occur in humans exposed chronically to o zone levels greater than .05 parts per million. Shouldn’t the burden of proof rest upon Vepco to show us such damage does not occur? I have yet to see their mandate from the peoples whose lives might be affected. It seems to me if these powerlines are deemed necessary (still rather dubious to me), then the obvious solution would be to put them underground. This would circumvent any possible health danger, not destroy the natural environment, and lessen any risk of storm damage. Certainly none of us would build a home and string electric and plumbing lines from the ceiling. Doesn’t our landscape deserve as well? Power company executives who don’t live here say we will get used to these powerlines, and the frightening thing is that they’re right. The human mind has great capability to adapt to a rapidly deteriorating environment. We can look over billboards and through new subdivisions and under powerlines, and soon we can look without seeing anything at all. Jerry W. Martin, MD Flint Hill Support the Center Editor: To the youth in this county, the Youth Center can mean a lot. As things stand now, I think we've gotten this organization off the ground floor. But the only way to keep it going is with your support and backing. Tuesday evening, a meeting was held of the Rappahannock Recreational Association. We got the greatest attendance that we’ve had for a long time. I am appealing to the youth and adults of this county to continue this support. Your support and interest are necessary for a successful and permanent organization to help the young people of the county. Timothy Metxinger • Thursday, May 2,1974

1 Citizens can help save trash costs BY PETE LUKE Supervisor, Piedmont District Chairman, County Trash Committee A REFUSE removal contract was signed in September 1973 with Community Trash Removal, Inc., of Culpeper for $20,000 a year to remove 164 cubic yards of trash from Rappahannock each week. In addition to the removal of trash, arrangements were made to remove tires, furniture, and other items, too bulky to be compressed, on an as required basis. In January 1974 additional containers totaling 22 cubic yards were added at Huntly, Scrabble, Chester Gap, and Amissville. This additional capacity has had no noticeable effect on our problem. Trash is still being thrown on the ground as the various collection points. The county pays $5 a cubic yard to have this picked up and put in the containers. The over - run on the monthly trash bill has not decreased. It is about $500 more each month on the average than the basic contract. Unless some positive action is taken on trash bill for the next fiscal year (1975) will be about 25% higher than last year. THE citizens of Rappahannock desire to keep taxes in the county low and the Board of Supervisors is carefully receiving the budget with this in mind. However, it is counterproductive for the Board to be scrutinizing the budget for savings, while at the same time citizens of the county are not paying careful attention to the trash they are taking to the collection points. To keep expenses in line with revenue everyone must co-operate. Citizens disposing refuse in Rappahannock must Police hunt escapee POLICE were still searching at press time for an escaped convict who left a highway work crew near the Warren-Rappahannock county line Tuesday morning. The escapee was identified as Clyde W. Shore, an inmate of Correctional Unit Camp 11 in Culpeper. Shore was serving a sentence for statutory burglary in Henrico County. ; Jerome Terry, superintendent at Camp 11, said DINNER Sunday, May 12th Featuring Ham, Turkey and Trimmin’s served from 1 to 7 p.m. Castleton Community Fire Hall • $2.50 FOR ADULTS • $1.25 FOR CHILDREN UNDER 12 Benefit of Castleton Fire Co. that the officer guarding the work crew fired after Shore, who was soon hidden in the woods. Police used dogs to track the escapee for one and a half hours, but then called off the search because it was too hot for the dogs to work, Terry said. He reported that state police think they spotted Shore later in the day while conducting an aerial search on the Rappahannock side of the lineD adhere to a few simple rules: 1. Burn all paper, boxes and wood. Do not put trees in the containers as was done at the Court House a few weeks ago. 2. Mash all cans. The following all aluminum cans have monetary value: Miller High Life, Pabst Blue Ribbon, Carling Black Label, Budweiser, and Coors. 3. Break all glass bottles. 4. Do not put wet garbage in the trash containers. Put garbage on your compact pile. 5. Do not bring brush cuttings to the container sites. IN MOST areas of county financial affairs the ordinary citizen does not have the opportunity to cause savings to be made. However, in the disposal of refuse everyone can help— your concern means dollars in your pocket. Indiscriminate neglect will cost all of us money by an increase in taxes to pay the larger trash bill. The county needs your concern and positive action on this matter if we want to keep Rappahannock beautiful. □ Don’t lose Social Security checks SUPPLEMENTAL security income checks should be cashed within a reasonable time to prevent loss or theft—even though there’s no time limit on cashing them, according to Mrs. Hazel F. Crumpton, social security district manager in Winchester. The supplemental secuity income program has established a national income floor for people with little or no income and limited resources who are 65 or over, or blind, or disabled. Checks are delivered in the first week of every month. “It’s a good idea to sign your supplemental security income check in front of the person who will cash HDNTLY MRS. BESSIE PARKS Mrs. Helen Williams reentered Warren Memorial Hospital Saturday morning for further treatment. She is in room 261. Mr. and Mrs. Jimmy Burke and family were accompanied by the Rev. and Mrs. Roy Mathena of Chester Gap to the Henry-Sealock wedding in Fairfax Saturday afternoon. Mrs. Gladys Williams had as weekend guest her granddaughter, Cindy Williams, of Front Royal. Mrs. Minnie Gorenson and Mrs. LaMerle Williams of Chester Gap visited Mrs. Dorothy Lewis Tuesday. □ it,” she said. “If you sign a check and then lose it, it could be cashed by anyone who finds it.” PEOPLE whose supplemental security income checks are lost, stolen, or destroyed should get in touch with the nearest social security office at once and explained what happened, according to Mrs. Crumpton. The program is run by the Social Security Admin istration, an agency of the U. S. DepartmentofHealth, Education, and Welfare. “But supplemental security income payments are funded by general revenues, not by social security contributions,” income payments are funded by general revenues, not by security contributions,” she said. The Winchester social security office is at 20 S. Cameron St. The telephone number is 667-1511.□ GREETING CARDS Mother’s Day Is May Remember Mom with a greeting from our extensive selection # A Personal Gift for Mom might be a matched pen and pencil set, or # Pastel writing paper or notes 0 A good book, novel, fiction, history or many others 0Bridge Supplies, Candles all from CULPEPER BOOK STORE 270 North Main St. Culpeper

Pullen-Compton wedding MISS Christine Pullen, daughter of Mrs. George William Pullen, Sr. of Flint Hill and the late Mr. Pullen, and Robert Compton, son of Mrs. Anne Brill Compton of Front Royal, wer married April 26 in the Rivermont Baptist Church. The Rev. Jerry Young performed the double ring ceremony. Mrs. Paul Miller of Flint Hill was organist. Given in marriage by her brother, George William Pullen Jr. of Flint Hill, the bride wore a gown of white organza with peaude-ange lace banding the high neckline, high bodice, skirt and cuffed sleeves. Her lace banded mantilla fell from a Camelot cap and she carried a Bible with white carnations and baby’s breath. Mrs. Paul Kenney of Front Royal was matron Madison joins the region Besides the HUD funds, the Commission will also receive $15,000 from the Division of Justice and Crime Prevention of the Justice Department, and $15,000 from the Department of Health, Education Welfare. The Commisssion now has a fulltime executive secretary, a full-time criminal justice planner, a part-time elderly persons planner, and a secretaary. The additional funds will enable the Commission to hire a full-time planning engineer. MADISON COUNTY has decided to join the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission. The addition of Madison on the Commission—which now embraces Fauquier, Rappahannock, Orange, and Warrenton—will bring $25,000 in Federal Housing and Urban Development funds. The town and county of Culpeper have not yet joined the Commission, which has an office in Culpeper. The Madison Board of Superisors approved a resolution to join the planning district by a vote of 2-0 on Friday. One member of the three-member Board abstained. The HUD funding for local planning assistance is based on the commission representing 75% of the population in the district. Last Thursday, the Planning District Commision approved a $95,000 budget, anticipating the addition of Madison. Because of the additional revenue with another member, other local contributions were set at 20 cents per capita, a 2 cent reduction from last year. Total local contributions to the commission are $11,340, with the state matching the amount. NEED A JOB? WANT TO CHANGE? JOIN THE KELLER TEAM!

New timbering From Page l loaded it in the woods, unloaded it at the plant, chipped it, and sent it somewhere else. “This way we bring the mill out here. Not as many loads, not as much handling. Saves time and labor.” Dost works only with pine chips. “If we’re the first cutters on a tract we leave the hardwood standing. We’ve done that on some stretches here that were mostly pine. It’ll make a mighty pretty pasture,” he said,'‘ pointing to tall oak and birch trees that had been left. “But sometimes we follow another logger, like on the hardwood section in this miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniMiiiiiiiiii tract. Mr. Judd took that out for planking and lumber. We’ve followed behind him to get what pine or usuable laps we could.” DOST SAID that a ratio of 60 per cent hardwood to 40 per cent pine is used to make “fine writing paper.” But he added that he’s' not sure about the statistics. “But I know it takes more hardwood, though the pine is the hardest for them to get. Sometimes they cut off their hardwood suppliers. Won’t take anymore because they’re overstocked. But they’re always hurtin’ for pine.” Dost thinks there are perhaps “five or six outfits” in Virginia like his. iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiii But it’s still regarded as “unconventional,” he said. “We have a half million dollars in equipment out here. Six trucks, six tractors and 18 trailers. By having so many trailers on hand we don’t lose any time waiting to load. We normally load 10 tractor trailers a day, 12 or 13 if we’re having a good day.” “WE WORK all year ’round. Even in a light rain. But we have to stop if it’s raining too hard or its too wet. The trees get so muddy they dull our blades. We work in some right rough terrain, like some cliffs back here.

New Market 'battle* Sunday, May 12 EARLY indications are there will be more “Yankees” than “Confederates” in the seventh annual re-enactment of the Battle of New Market Sunday, May 12. James J. Geary, park director, said there is usually a preponderance of “Confederates.” He predicted that late registrations of participants would again tip the balance in favor of those in Southern uniforms. The re-enactment features a restaging of the heroic charge of Virginia Military Institute cadets in the 1864 battle. More than 200 men in Civil War style uniforms, coming from a dozen states north and sou th, are expected to take part in the re-enactment. Both the re-enactment and parking will be free and will be within the park grounds. Recently furnished outbuildings around the historic Bushong House will be open. The park and its museum, Hie Hall of Valor, were created by VMI with funds bequeathed by an alumnus, GeorgeR. Collins.C WeVe become a name dropper.

Farm fuel network to help local farmers * ‘RAPPAHANNOCK County farmers who have been unable to find fuel for agricultural production through regular channels may contact this office,’’said Mrs. Mary V. Updike, program assistant in charge of the Rappahannock County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS). Annie Scott Annie Virginia Scott of Viewtown died April 27, at Fauquier Hospital. She was 87. Mrs. Scott is survived by four sons, W. Roy Mills of Rixeyville, Charles Mills of Warrenton, Leonard D. Mills of The Plains, Harry L. Mills of Culpeper. Also surviving are a stepdaughter, Mrs. George F. Bailey of Culpeper, 14 grandchildren and 19 greatgrandchildren. Funeral services were held Tuesday, April 30, at Forest Grove Baptist Church, Viewtown, by the Rev. David Brown. Burial at the Church Cemetery. ASCS and the Federal Energy Office (FEO) will operate a “triple-decker” back-up system for farmers with fuel problems which cannot be resolved through procedures already available. The first back-up solves problems quickly and simply. When a farmer comes to the office and reports that his distributor cannot supply fuel, ASCS will attempt to locate a fuel source. The second back-up will be used only when fuel cannot be located locally. Back-up two, ASCS contacts either the State Energy Office or the Regional FEO. The determination of which office will be contacted is dependent upon the type of problem and where it can best oe resolved. The office contacted will then aid in obtaining the necessary fuel for agricultural production. FEO has set up special phone numbers at its regional offices for use in solving agricultural fuel problems. The third back-up phase provides quick communications with FEO through the national office. In certain serious situations the county office will call the National FEO in Washington, D.C. from there, the information is forwarded to the Regional FEO by the opening of business the next day. | Winal ^ributft ► CLORE FUNERAL HOME “The Home of Thoughtful Service” CEMETERY MEMORIALS PHONE 825-1361 CULPEPER Your Happy Shopping Store DOWNTOWN CULPEPER, VA.

Six in County State’s 1973 traffic toll decreased FINAL official tabulation of Virginia’s 1973 traffic deaths stands at 1,220, a decrease of 2.9% when compared to the 1,256 of p972, Colonel H. W. Burgess, Superintendent of State Police, has announced. A rise of 6.0% in traffic volumes sent the State’s mileage death rate (deaths per each 100 million miles of travel) down from 1973’s 3.8 to 3.5, which compares well with the national average of 4.2. Only three counties—Appomattox, Lancaster and Richmond—did not experience a fatality. Appomattox, because of more mileage traveled, was considered to have the best record. Forty-four counties showed increases, 41 decreases and ten recorded the same numbers as in 1972. For the 13th consecutive year, Fairfax led, this time with 75, which was a reduction of the 81 recorded in 1972. Hanover was next with 36. On the basis of deaths per each 100 million miles of travel (mileage death rate), Charles City, with nine deaths and a rate of 22.1 had the worst record while Northampton, with 16 deaths and a rate of 14.5 was next worse. ORANGE, with one killed and a rate of 0.8 was second best to the zero ratings while Brunswick, with two killed and a rate of 1.0 was second. Notable increases were shown by Hanover, from 15 to 36; Pulaski, from five to 14; and Rappahannock, from one to six. Substantial decreases occur red in Albemarle, from 27 to 13; Montgomery, from 19 to six; and Shenandoah, from 17 to five. For cities with populations above 50,000, Portsmouth, with four deaths and a rate of 3.6 based on deaths per each 100,000 population (mileage death rates cannot be computed for cities) had the best record. Chesapeake, with 26 deaths and a rate of 27.6, had the worst. An increase from 10 to 17 was noted by Newport News. Decreases were obtained by Alexandria, 14 to And that includes fall panicum. A growing grass problem that straight atrazine users haven’t been controlling. Fact is, Lasso plus atrazine is an excellent all-round herbicide treatment for corn growers in the North Carolina and Virginia area. Why? Because Lasso plus atrazine goes to work on grasses as well as broadleaf weeds. Not just fall panicum, but other tough customers like smooth crabgrass, foxtails, pigweed, and smartweed. Why, it even reduces competition from toughies like cocklebur and annual morningglory. And except for sweet corn, you can save yourself a trip over the field by adding liquid fertilizer to your Lasso plus atrazine tank-mix. Another thing that makes Lasso plus atrazine fit in with your growing operation is the way it minimizes the risk of carryover. You see, Lasso has no carryover. And since you use less atrazine in the tank mix, there’s less chance of having carryover problems. This year, put Lasso plus atrazine to work in your corn. You’ll control fall panicum, crabgrass and other annual grasses missed by atrazine. As well as most annual broadleaf weeds. HERBICIDE BY ■ | . Monsanto As with ali agricultural products, read the Lasso label carefully before using. eight; Hampton, 1J to 11; Norfolk, 44 to 19; Portsmouth, 11 to four; Richmond, 47 to 42; Roanoke, 22 to 13; and Virginia Beach, 31 to 26. Chesapeake, with 26, and Lynchburg, with three, stayed the same. Pedestrian deaths throughout the state fell from the 249 of 1972 to 197. Deaths of servicemen fell from 59 to 43, those of bicyclists rose from 10 to "22 and those at railway crossings were down from 14 to 13. Motocycle deaths, including those on minibikes, climbed from 57 to 59. TOTAL crashes 'were up from 155,257 to 157,637 and 1,048 of these, compared to 1,100 in 1972, killed one or more persons each. Injuries decreased from 52,517 to 52,378, while economic losses were up from $350 million to $405 million. Non - collision fatal crashes, or those involving contact with no other vehicle, a pedestrian, or an object in the roadway, were even at 423 but killed 463 people, as compared to 405 in 1972. Crashes killing more than one person each were up from 113 killing 267 people to 118 which killed 287. Rural deaths were down from 936 to 930 and urban ones from 320 to 290. Percentage of fatal crashes involving drivers known to have been drinking was up from 26.1. Here Colonel Burgess noted that these percentages are no doubt conservative as all facts are not known in all cases. He added that caution should be used in citing such percentages as they are involvement figures and not causation ones.D May Day The Rappahannock Citizen’s League is sponsoring a May Day Program at the Rappahannock Community Center, Washington, Va. on Saturday, May 4 beginning at 10 a.m. All interested youth are welcome'to take part.

Telephone company has a ‘new look’ BEGINNING May 1, Virginia Telephone & Telegraph Company customers found the company had a new name and a “new look.” Virginia Telephone & Telegraph Company changed its name to Central Telephone Company of Virginia. Vice President and Division Manager Dallas Reid said the company will retain the blue “C” as the company’s symbol. Coinciding with the change of the telephone company’s name was an announcement by Reid that the company is embarking on a three-year program that will see the familiar beige vehicle color scheme replaced. Also beginning May 1, he said, telephone company vehicles are being repainted blue and white. Reid said eventually all CTU service vehicles, including those in electric and natural gas divisions in the Midwest, will be painted blue and white. A part of Central Telephone & Utilities Corporation and its predecessor companies since March 1, 1936, Virginia Telephone & Telegraph is one of three Central divisions that will alter their names effective May 1. The others are Southeastern Telephone Company headquartered in Tallahassee, Fla., and Western Telephone Company, a Missouri operation. FOR CUSTOMERS who have been familiar with the Virginia Telephone & Telegraph name, May 1 brought several noticeable changes, including “Central Telephone Company” greetings on calls to the business office. Building signs were scheduled to be changed by May 1, too, Reid said. All telephone directories issued after May 1 will be labeled Central Telephone Company as will directory covers in pay telephone stations. Customer bills will reflect the change and dial plates will be replaced when telephones are repaired. Virginia Telephone & Telegraph Company was organized on February 10, 1931, before its acquisition five years later by CTU. Virginia Telephone & Telegraph Company also includes the former Lexington Telephone Company and the Virginia customers of Lee Telephone Company. Division offices are located in Charlottesville.C Gold Cup Saturday in Warrenton By JUNE RUHSAM THE 49TH RUNNING of the Virginia Gold Cup races this Saturday in Warrenton should provide plenty of excitement. With a post time of 2:30 for the first race, there are six carded, including the classic Virginia Gold Cup timber steeplechase and the $10,000 A. P. Smithwick memorial hurdle handicap. Several local horses are among the leading contenders for the coveted Virginia Gold Cup, a difficult four-mile test which carries no purse, only great prestige and a magnificent trophy. John Warner’s Annual Meeting, winner in 1969 and 1971, will be trying to retire the cup with a third victory over the 22-fence course. He easily won his only start this year, the Louis Leith Cup at Middleburg. Rokeby Stables has entered Chapel Street and Mongogo, who have both been in the winner’s circle this spring. Chapel Street, who finished second to Annual Meeting in the 1971 Gold Cup, won his two starts this year, the open timber race at Old Dominion and the Middleburg Hunt Cup. Mongogo won the open timber races at Piedmont and Oatlands and was second last Saturday at Strawberry Hill. Minaccia, Col. Paul Wimert’s Chilean mare who won twice this spring over Middleburg’s timber course, will be attempting to win the cup that only two mares in nearly half a century have been able to capture. Roy Graham’s Boca Bird is another local favorite. He won over the Middleburg course this spring and was a strong victor in the four-mile William Corcoran Eustis cup, with a faster time than that set by King of Spades, who was a two-time winner of the Gold Cup. AMONG THE EARLY ENTRIES for the A. P. “Paddy” Smithwick memorial hurdle handicap is Milton Ritzenberg’s Metello, winner of the season’s Dixie Circuit with victories at Atlanta and Tanglewood. Mrs. Miles Valentine’s Lucky Boy II, winner of the Colonial Cup last fall under “Skip” Brittle, will be a strong challenger, as will Gran Khan, Mrs. F. Ambrose Clark’s winner at Middleburg, making a comeback under the training of Clarence Furr. The Stratford-on-Avon, first race of the day, is a $2,500 maiden hurdle race. The British military attache will present the plate, a gift from the English race committee. The $2,000 Old Dominion maiden hurdle race is next. Following the Gold Cup is the two-mile Robert C. Winmill memorial hurdle race for $3,000 as well as the perpetual trophy. Final race of the afternoon is the $750 Virginia Thoroughbred Association flat race.D FARM EQUIPMENT Stafford County Stafford, Va.
