RCHS graduates to hear Dr. Puryear DR. EDGAR F. Puryear of Madison will address the 60 graduates of Rappahannock County High School at commencement scheduled for Thursday, June 6 at 8 p.m. in the school auditorium. The program will be opened with the invocation by Susan Latham and Cassandra Frye will give the salutatory address. Tom Taylor and Angela Dennis will tell of plans of the students after graduation. The school chorus under the direction of Mrs. Judy Bomberger, will present several selections. The Budget hearing A PROPOSED COUNTY budget totaling $1,328,061.72 will be acted upon next Thursday by the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors at the June meeting. The budget is for the fiscal year commencing July 1, 1974. The budget hearing is open to the public and will precede the regular monthly meeting of the legislators. The proposed budget is an increase over last year by $106,428.93. As always, schools require the greatest portion of the tax dollars, and though the proposed school budget has already been trimmed, there is still an increase of $69,467. The carry-over, or surplus, showing a decrease, will still aid in keeping the levy at the $4.10 mark. Funds from the sale of county tags showed a great increase in the proposed budget, however, board chairman E. P. Luke, said there is not any increase in the cost of tags anticipated. The budget hearing is set for Thursday, June 6 at 10 a.m. in the courthouse at Washington.□ valedictory address will be made by Mary Moore Kilby. Dr. Puryear, an attorney, professor and most recently an author, will speak to the group, after which awards will be announced and presented. Graduates will be introduced by George Paterson and school principal Denrtis Wingfield will present their diplomas. Robert Titchenell will give the benediction. THE 25th annual Baccalaureate Service at the high school is set for 8 p.m. Sunday, June 2 at the school. Participating in this service will be Bill Kilby of Sperryville, a graduate of the class of ‘72, William Harrison, a member of the school faculty and the Rev. Malcolm Maples of Flint Hill. Special music will be provided by the high school chorus, and following the service, members of the Rappahannock County Homemakers Clubs will host a reception for the seniors in the cafeteria. □ Tom Taylor, who has been an outstanding participant in cross country and track at Rappahannock County High School, also excelled in sportsmanship and was awarded a trophy for this admirable quality at the sports awards banquet held Monday evening at Holiday Inn, Culpeper. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Taylor of Sperryville. Busy Lile Sisk starts a busy new life BY PEKAY PETTUS “IT’S MY PLEASURE,” said T.ilft Sisk as she loaded down a LUe Sisk, “happy as a fifteen year old,” looks forward to a June wedding. guest with dilled turnips and carrots and green beans and suggested that some of her carrot cake or black walnut cake, sweet and sour onions, pickled squash, beet wine or damson cordial would be good to try, too. “Work and people are my pleasure,” she said. Lile Sisk admits that she’s become a bit famous for “working in the yard and the kitchen and being good to my friends.” Mrs. Sisk has been gardening and cooking for years at her home near Sperryville, but she said she “hadn’t been heard of” until a Rappahannock Arts and Crafts fair two years ago. Then she sold several hundred jars of the canned, pickled and (tilled “stuff” she d saved from her garden. Since then, her cookies have made it “to the White House table” through a visitor with the Rappahannock Hunt; television newsman David Brinkley, a frequent visitor in Rappahannock, brought his bride over for a little of Mrs. Sisk’s beet wine, and The Washington Post sent a reporter to get the recipe for “Lile’s dillies.” Currently, she “cooking the evening meal” for the art students studying with Joy Luke. “It’s a lot of work but I never knew how willing people were to pay for it; I wish I’d known how it would when I was trying to pay off the debts after my husband died,” she said. MRS. SISK said she has known hard work for most of her life. “I had it hard before I was married, but I had it harder after. I 'worked right alongside my husband, and I coulder work harder than he did.” Her husband died in 1961. You know, they said it was my cooking. The public health nurse kept after him to diet, but he wouldn’t. He was a big, tall man, though, and he could carry that weight.” “I started working with him when I was married at 19. I was out at 4 o’clock, milking the cows with a flashlight. I was in the garden from 7 until dusk, came back and mowed the yard, milked and was still up at midnight, churning and separating the milk.” Mrs. Sisk also “climbed the trees for apples and shook down walnuts. “They used to get after Henry ‘cause I could pick faster than he could. He’d move the ladders for me, you know, from tree to tree, after I got out all the apples at the top. He had his own ladder and was picking, too. They’d call out to him, ‘Don’t look Henry; she’s cleaned your tops.’ Mrs. Sisk laughed as she remembered and clapped her hands together, catching her breath so she could continue her story with the same mile-a-minute energy that she approaches hoeing or canning or dilling or cooking. “All that time working, I was busy trying to make a home. There was nothing on this place when we came here but for a lilac bush. So after I got through all my work I started setting out flowers.’’ And Mrs. Sisk set out plenty. The steep hills and rock outcroppings around her white frame house are covered with beds of iris and “pinks,” pots of begonias, hen and chickens and impatiens. “IT WAS HARD after my husband died. Had all the hospital bills to pay off. But I did it, and by myself. And I made all the improve

LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 ‘A nice place’ LOCAL government, a number of speakers brought out at a national “growth control” conference in Reston last week, is the best place to exert meaningful control. It’s the level of government where there is the greatest opportunity for citizen participation, where there is the greatest knowledge of local desires and needs. The conference was valuable in many ways, and we wish more local government officials and citizens, too—could find the time to attend such gatherings. One of the valuable things about Northern Virginia is that so many such gatherings of talent and experience assemble nearby, from all over the nation; you’d think local officials would be eager to tap such reservoirs. It is certainly cheaper than hiring consultants (who, incidentally, do attend the meetings). If local officials from Clarke County had attended the meeting, for instance, they might have heard one of the nation’s top zoning attorneys address their county: “Land,” said Robert H. Freilich, who devised the now-famous Ramapo, N.Y., plan for phasing growth, “is not a commodity; it is a public resource of limited amount and concept. therefore it must be protected by the public. It is our duty to our children to protect it.” Hearing such a statement might make it easier for Clarke’s supervisors to vote for a proposed 10-acre minimum zoning acreage, something which is at the heart of their professed desire to keep Clarke a largely rural county. IF LOCAL officials and citizens alike from Fauquier had attended, they might have taken to heart the same Robert Freilich’s discussion of how an inability to meet the low and moderate income housing demand is not confined to any one location, but is nationwide. He and others at the conference noted that only true national leadership will be able to effectively deal with this problem, and that in the meantime no one should nurture collective guilt complexes about “the moral imperative to allow growth,” in some mistaken notion that uncontrolled growth will somehow be translated into more cheap housing. Officials of Prince William (there were some bureaucrats present from that county, but no elected officials) might have learned something from the discussion about desirable types of growth, and of how simply wooing more industries and more shopping centers—in lieu of more houses and more people—isn’t necessarily the road to a lower tax rate and diminishing demands for public services. THERE WERE all sorts of valuable lessons and experiences to be had at the Reston gathering, there for the picking and applicable to the effort to keep this area a desirable place in which to “Close-ups 99 A number of people recognized the photo last week as a notebook ring and Peter Martin of Washington was the name drawn from the entries for a years don.

Letters to the Editor Center donors thanked Editor: Last winter when the Rappahannock County Recreaction Center Association was formed, an appeal was sent out through this paper for volunteer subscription money for the project. Many wonderful county and out of county residents responded with donations large and small. We do thank each and everyone for their contribution. Then the Rappahannock Education Association put on their great entertainment “Winnie the Pooh” which netted well over $1,000. Some of our local civic organizations dipped into their treasuries and sent money. Our special thanks this week goes to the local Sperryville ladies...not connected with an organization, but just our plea to heart and decided to do something about it. They realized that they couldn’t give a large sum on their own, so they did the next best thing, they gave of themselves and from their own larders. Their wonderful ham and chicken dinner last Saturday night resulted in a gift of almost $450 for the Recreation Center. Bravo ladies, well done! Here’s hoping more do-ityourself fund raisers will live, raise children and do business. There just weren’t enough local officials there to appreciate it. A handfull from Prince William’s planning department; one planner and one supervisor from Loudoun, no one from Fauquier, no one from Clarke, no one from Rappahannock, or Culpeper or from anywhere nearby until you reach Albemarle, which was well represented. Let’s trust the lack of local representation does not reflect a lack of interest in what one conference speaker characterized as something which has been emphasized in every major study of the subject conducted in the United States in the last ten years. That emphasis is that it is in the best interests, economic and otherwise, of all citizens for growth rates to be controlled at a rate their communities can afford. And “affordability,” as Loudoun’s astute Supervisor Frank Raflo has so aptly put it, concerns not only such things as tax rates and utilities, but the “intangibles” which make Loudoun and the surrounding area so desirable, such “a nice place.”□ follow suit. The fund is growing and now stands at almost $3000...a good start toward our goal. Helen Holschuh Sec. Treas., Rappahannock County Recreation Center Association . Membership in R.R.A. is urged Editor: This is addressed to the Citizens of Rappahannock County: The Rappahannock Recreational Association has gotten started, and I hope, will continue to grow stronger. We would like to express our sincere thanks to all the people who made the benefit supper Saturday possible. The money handed over to our organization was $445.90, and I sincerely wish that other organizations and communities will do something like this to show their support. However, for the time at hand, we still must depend on your private donations of time and money. As of now, the R.R.A. has 17 paid members in its organization. We are asking you, who want to join, do so now. Don’t wait; not just the youth but adults also. Is $6 a year or 50 cents per

Harvesting timber needs planning Editor: This letter is written in response to your article in the “Rappahannock News’’ of May 2, 1974 concerning the total tree harvester and Drott cutter which is presently operating on Long Mountain. This machine, according to Ed Maddox, Wood Procurement Manager for the West Virginia Pulp and Paper mill at Covington, will revolutionalize the logging industry. Basically, the logging industry has seen little major changes in its operation during the past 100 years except for the chain saw which got its hold in the industry in the early ‘50’s. If Paul Bunyun could visit a logging operation today, he would have little trouble getting the hang of the operations since the operation is basically the same as it was in his day. Few other industries could claim such a statement. This total tree harvester greatly reduces the labor involved in harvesting and will require a great deal of wood to keep in operation. However, this method of logging has its advantages over past methods from the ecology standpoint. This type of logging will greatly reduce the erosion possibility and greatly increase the utilization of the forest since the entire tree is used. In previous logging practices, the log was bucked off CANCER DRIVE The total collected to date by the Rappahannock Unit of the American Cancer Society as reported by the Chairman Mrs. Joseph J. Scherschel is $2,102.10. She wishes to thank the people of the county for their generous response to the campaign.□ leaving the top of the tree in the woods. The log was then skedded to the log landing. The back end of the logwould dig into the soil; at times deep ruts would be carved into the soil, causing erosion. Since the total tree harvester chips the entire tree, the top of the tree is left intact; the leaves or needles from the tree top acts as a cushion for the soil while the skidder is moving the timber to the log landing. The entire top feathers out over the ground only disturbing the leaves and a little soil. Very little damage is caused to the soil by this skidding method. One great objection many people have had of logging operations in the past has been the mess the loggers leave after they have finished. The outstanding part about this total tree harvester is that very little debris is left in the woods, This machine will increase the productivity and yield of the forest in a pulpwood harvest by 10% to 60%. From a forestry standpoint, the total tree harvester greatly reduces the cost of preparing an area for replanting. Once this logging operation has finished, the area is ready for planting. Too ofter in previous type logging operations, a considerable amount of debris and standing trees were left. Many times the trees that were left were of little or no value to the cutter and too oftern were of little value to the landowner for a future forest. In a planted forest, standing trees will usually cast enough shade to prevent the growth and development of many trees. This total tree harvesting operation will allow full sunlight, moisture and nu The LIBERTY LOCO lomhmes the Liberty Hell, traditional symbol ttf stability, with the contemporary background, symbolizing the goals of* LI BERT Y SA VINOS AMD LOAN ASSOCIA TION We strive to combine up-to-date, aggressive, vet responsive, management of vuur money with the lime honored American traditions oj saving and owning one's own home The Board of Directors of Liberty Savings and Loan Association Invite y»n to invest find become a stockholder in this locally - owned and operated financial institution.

Full sunlight will allow the young trees to grow quickly competing only among themselves. Young seddlings just do not have much of a chance competing for sunlight and moisture if larger trees overtop them. The total tree harvester requires a lot of acres of timber to keep it in operation; some areas of Rappahannock County will be steep, others will be rocky or have soil of low fertility—these areas should remain in trees; most of these areas should be planted. The total tree harvester could do much to increase the utilization and productivity of the forest of Rappahannock County and could do much to increase the much needed reforestation in much of the county. Thus it is my hope the landowners of Rappahannock County will use good judgement ' and planning when harvesting their timber. Anyone wanting advice on their timberland or this type of harvesting should contact your County Forester, Evan L. Sharp in Madison—Phone 923-4587 in the evening or contact C. W. Jenkins, Chief Forest Warden of Rappahannock County. Submitted by: Evan L.

Busy life ments here after he died. Mrs. Sisk proudly shows off her enclosed front porch, which became a dining room and a sun parlor, a new patio, a bathroom and a utility room. “We never had any water up here until my husband got sick. But then I added all this.” Mrs. Sisk’s tour also reveals that the upstairs is stocked with several thousand jars of fruits and vegetables that she’s dilled, canned, pickled, jellied or preserved. “I’ve got ’em in just about every space possible, keeping a line free for you to walk. I can’t stand to think of all that food going to waste. I just have to do it.” SHE’S TAKING IT easy now, in comparison with the pace she set for herself after her husband died, Mrs. Sisk said. “There were just some things I had to give up on. I sold my cows. First sold ’em down to seven, then finally got rid of all of them. They were hard work. You see, I never had a shelter to milk in. Just out in the field. And I did it in rainstorms, in blizzards. I can remember the times that I shoveled my way out to where I kept the feed, shoveled out to the cows, then cleared a place for me to milk and them to eat the hay. The public health nurse will tell you it’s all true. But I stayed here, making butter and trying to carry on life. I did domestic work all over, I took in boarders—did that while my husband was healthy, too—and cooked meals. “It was hard, but I love it. I love this kind of work. And I love my friends and I want to share it,’’ she said. “LAST WINTER a girl fell off her horse, back on the mountain here. I heard the army of horses coming and Jim Bill walked up to the door. He and another fellow. They asked for a blanket and to use the phone. I gave ’em a cookie while they were inside. Then they told me it was someone outdoors who worked for Nixon and to go out there and give them some cookies. “So I went outside and passed my cookies around asked if they wanted a little beet wine. So then I went from horse to horse with the wine and my wine glasses. Oh, it was exicting. And sure enough, some of the cookies got back to Nixon. Come see my letter.” She had framed a letter from Peter Flanigan, Special Assistant to President Nixon, who’d been a member of the hunting field on the day of the accident. He had taken some extra cookies and written Mrs. Sisk that they were so good ‘‘most were gone by the time they made it to the White House table.” LILE SISK said she wouldn’t have put in her garden this year if she’d known earlier that she was going to have ‘‘other plans.” She’s getting married June 15. “I’d always said I wouldn’t have another man if he was lined in gold. But I’m happy as a 15-yearold.” Her husband-to-be is Kent Pierce, a former printer with The Washington Post who retired to live in Culpeper. “Oh, he’s got ajjrand garden,” Lile Sisk said, “getting beets and beet greens already.” Her own garden, more than half an acre in size) shows tall healthy rows of onions, rows of lettuce and climbing cucumbers along the fence. I never expected to meet a man as fine as this. He cans and dills as well as any woman. He’s college educated, and though I never went through the fifth grade it doesn’t matter. Most active man I ever heard of.” Mrs. Sisk proudly notes that Mr. Pierce is a “member of the*Mason’s, the American Legion, works with the country music, and everything else he can find time for.” She also notes that his father was a small town lawyer in Maine and his mother was a school teacher. “We’ll get someone to live in the house and look after the garden. “Cause we’re doing some traveling. For our honeymoon we’re going to Maine. Thanksgiving we’re going to visit his stepdaughter in Georgia and then to Florida for Christmas. That’s some traveling for an old lady who’s hardly ever been off the mountain. Why, I’ve never even been to a movie! ”□ Grain use record set DOMESTIC use of feed grains totaled a record 104 million tons during the period October 1973 through March 1974. “This amount is two percent higher than a year earlier, and also above our previous indications,” said Thomas R. Taylor, Chairman, Rappahannock County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee According to a recent report from Washington, probable feed grain carryover this fall has been lowered to about 22-1/2 TRAIL RIDE A Trail Ride will beheld Sunday, June 2 at 4 p.m. leaving from Jebeltane, home of Mr. and Mrs. R.C. Kuhn on Route 211, 1 1/2 miles east of Massie’s Corner and Route 522. Watch for sign. Rain date will be Saturday, June 8. million tons, a third less than a year ago. This reduction is caused by the very heavy feeding and export of corn, Taylor stated. Feed grain exports totaled a record 23 million tons, almost one-fifth above last year, and nearly in line with expectations, Taylor added. Projected 1974 feed grain production has. been raised a little, said Taylor, because a higher percentage of oat acreage may be harvested this season for grain. □ PICTURE FRAMING and Artist Supplies Have your diploma, graduation picture or a favorite print framed.

Si Sez IN PROVERBS 30:18-19 we find these words: “There are three things that are too wonderful for me, Yea, four things that I know not, the way of an eagle in its flight; the way of a serpent on a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea and the way of a man with a maid. The way of an eagle. It is said that an eagle can see a field mouse from a mile away. As it flies to and fro it might seem that it is erratic, but 01’ Brer Eagle is seeking its prey. The way of a serpent. It has seemed to me that a snake just tumbles off a rock on the fartherest side from whatever disturbed it. It probably had already planned it’s escape route; nature’s way. The way of a ship. To a landlubber a ship might seem on an erratic course, but the sailors know how to tack to take full advantage of the wind; sail ships. NOW WE COME to the meaty part—the way of a man with a maid. Let’s turn that aroundandsay “the way of a woman with a man.” First, let me warn you; she is likely to “leave you with arms full of empty.” Ha! Wonder why women don’t change the marriage vows again? Instead of “Do you take this man” etc. to do you take him? (Funning.) In fancy the wind is sighing Through the ruffled hedgerows again, And the wraith of my youth is crying To me from the love-haunted lane. Someone has said that a puppy doesn’t realize that it is only puppy love that causes those pangs. Maybe the love of the puppy is just as acute as the love of the older dog, but the old dog cannot learn new tricks; such as forgetting. No, the heart does not break, It is a strong, fibrous thing. But it can ache and ache And forget to sing. MAYBE THE writer of this poem is putting a hex on his lost love by making her remember, in his own subtle way. Let’s hope it works: My love sought to forget me In soothing other’s sighs; My love cannot forget me For I have kissed her eyes. My love sought to forget me In music and in wine; My love can not forget me For she has once been mine. My love seeks to forget me, Oh, she tries with mighty will, My love cannot forget ME Because I LOVE her still. And that is about enough of that. But remember fellers, if y’ Caint live with ’em, you shore caint live without ’em; the sweet, cuddly critters.□
