The grant is from the Urban Assistance Incentive Fund, and the award was made upon the recommendation of an intergovernmental review committee of the Division of State Planning and Community Affairs, based on an application submitted this spring by county authorities. ' Granville Eastham, president of the Rappahannock Recreation Association, was advised of the grant in a letter signed by Governor Mills Godwon. The governor said a representative will arrange details of the transaction shortly, and he concluded by saying he hoped the Rappahannock Recreation Center “will provide a model for use in other areas of the commonwealth.” Upon learning of the award, Eastham told members of the various Youth Center committees, “Let’s get going!” The $15,000 grant will be supplemented by proceeds of the Fourth of July Flea Market in Washington, Va., and by personal contributions and pledges some of which have already been received. □ attic and basement “treasures” can deliver them to the Lea Store building Monday through Saturday between the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.D Park visits down this year While daily travel in Shenandoah National Park has decreased with the energy crisis, overnight stays have increased.

LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Highway Boondoggling AN AFTERTHOUGHT expressed as the Piedmont Environmental Council’s session on the importance of farming came to a close must ring a bell with those frustrated citizens who have had dealings with the Highway Department. Said a nationally-important figure in land use planning theory and practice: “Highway departments should be the last agency to be consulted in questions of highway planning, and then only for engineering advice and overseer duties of construction. Highway departments should play no part whatsoever in such an important land use decision as a highway.” Boy, is that true where the Virginia Department of Highways is concerned! And this particular stretch of Virginia illustrates the assertion perfectly. VIRGINIA’S Highway Department, and its handpicked (how, we do not know, and we may never know) “environmental consultant,” have decided that 1-66 is needed, in spite of projects under way to four-lane Routes 7 and 50, serving the same “corridor,” in spite of serious objections raised by responsible federal agencies, and in the face of related highway projects (the four-laning of Route 17 and 211) which becloud even further whatever technical justification may exist—if any —for completing this controversial and increasingly questionable interstate highway boondoggle. “Questionable” and “boondoggle” are words used with full awareness that all of the pertinent environmental and statistical studies are not yet complete, but also in acknowledgement of the Highway Department’s obvious intention to bulldoze ahead with its plans no matter what. Loudoun citizens have protested Route 7 plans in vain; Route 50 is being pressed ahead despite serious local concerns; Route 211 is being planned in the face of Rappahannock doubts about whether it is even needed; Route 17 is being scheduled over the objections of Fauquier residents who stand to be paved over. AND NOW, here comes 1^-66, too! Damn the energy crisis, the environmental laws, the statistical justifications, the engineering flaws, the contradictions with state-designated critical environmental areas and county master plans—Full Steam Ahead! The lecturer at the PEC conference was right. The Highway Department should be the last source consulted about highways, just as the famous aphorism has it about war being too serious a business to be left to generals.□ “Close-ups” Robert Jennings of Danville correctly identified last week’s photo as a card of thumb tacks.

One contest entry had no name on it. Farm Days BELLE GROVE Administrator George M. Smith has announced definite preparations for the sixth annual Shenandoah Valley Farm Craft Days. The popular and wellestablished folk . festival will be held on Saturday, July 20, and Sunday, July 21, at the historic Belle Grove plantation, a property of the National Trust for Historic Preservation near Middletown. The 18-century plantation has been a working farm for 180 years. This year’s event will again coincide with wheat, harvest time at Belle Grove. The surrounding farm country of the Shenandoah Valley has preserved many of the old crafts, and for many of the local craftsmen (and craftswomen), their participation in the festival will mean just another working day. Although a host of similar events has come and gone in recent years, the Farm Craft Days at Belle Grove have an air of authenticity about them that combines with a prevailing harvest festival atmosphere to make the event ideal for a family outing. LOCAL entertainment with some of the finest folk musicians and timeless country games for children will vie with continuous craft demonstrations for the attention of the crowd of town and country folk who make up the faithful regulars of Farm Craft Days. The festival will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on both days. Belle Grove is located on US 11, one mile south of Middletown, near the junction of Interstate 66 and 81.□ Hunting Regulations Passed LEGISLATION of major importance to sportsmen and the Game Commission was passed during the closing hours of the 1974 General Assembly when that body enacted a bill which provides for an increase in license and permit fees effective July 1, 1974. On that date the basic hunting and fishing license fees will increase to $5 each. Other fee increases include: Resident big game, $5; Resident trout license, $3; City-county combination license, $5; and resident trapping, $15. Also raised were the out of-state license fees. Nonresident hunting licenses will go up to $20; Non-resident fishing licenses to$10. and a five-day trip fishing license will cost $3. Incorporated in the bill was an amendment which will allow 65-year olds the privileges now confined to persons five years more senior. Beginning in July of this year, persons 65 years old or older will be able to fish statewide without a license and to hunt without a license on private lands in their county of residence. THEY will also be able to purchase the $5 lifetime license, which permits them to eixercise these privileges throughout the Commonwealth. The increase granted by the General Assembly is the first change in the basic hunting license fee in twenty - five years. The basic fishing license fee was upped to $3.50 from $3 in 1961. □

T H E L I T T L e F v 0 X Robinson backs estate tax reform REP. J. Kenneth Robinson has joined in sponsorship of a bill in Congress to ease the impact of estate taxes on farm land which the heirs would like to continue to farm. “Estate taxes on farms of substantial value often have forced the heirs to sell the property for other than farming use, because they simply could not raise the cash to pay the estate taxes,” Robinson said. The Seventh District Congressman said the bill he is backing would permit the executor of a deceased farm operator to have the land evaluated, for tax purposes, as farm land, even though it might have a substantially higher value if converted to other use. To qualify, a farm would have to have been used for farming, or timber production or scenic or recreational uses for at least 60 months prior to the death of the individual whose es Bangers win two more!

He emphasized that any concession under the federal estate taxes would not apply if the land were sold by the heirs, or they converted the land to other uses of a higher tax value. “Many family farms located on the fringes of metropolitan areas are passing out of agriculture simply because the heirs are unable to pay estate taxes based on what the farm land could be, instead of what it is,” Robinson said; “and I think that this concession would be reasonable, in the effort to keep some of this land in agriculture, or woodland or for other natural uses.”D Camp reservations DIRECTOR Ronald H. Walker of the Interior Department’s National Park Service has announced that campsite reservations will be available to vacationers in 21 areas of the National Park System this summer. A nationwide, computerized program operated by Park Reservation System, Inc., will permit campers to reserve campsites for use after June 30 in parks from Maine to Oregon and south to Flordia. Interested campers should obtain reservation order forms and information about the system by writing to Park Reservation System, P.O. Box 1976, Cedar Rapids, Iowa 52406, or any of the 21 parks where the system will be in use. The same material may be obtained by telephone from the 21 parks or from PRS, which maintains a toll-free long - distance telephone number, (800) 553-8425, and a toll-charge number, (319) 365-4348. Director Walker added that the parks themselves will not be able to provide reservations by telephone. When a reservation is made, the camper will pay the standard campsite fee which ranges from $1 to $4 a night, depending on the campground involved. The camper will also pay a $2 service charge for each campsite reservation, regardless of the length of stay.D ROOM AIR CONDITIONER “CARRY COOL” PORTABLE HAS ITS OWN HANDLE!

Si Sez “IN THE BEGINNING was theWORD, and the WORD was with God, and the WORD was God.” And “The WORD became flesh.” According to some computations about five of six billion years ago the Word of God set everything in motion, every thing vibrating at its own set vibration of energy. Every thing came into being because of the vibratory voice of God; everything manifesting at its own rate of vibrating energy. When the time was right, “the Word became flesh.” We do not know at what distant point in time life of flesh entities became possible on this planet, we do know that primitive man began to seek his God in various ways. When things went well his God was pleased with him, when things were not so good He was displeased. He tried to please God by trying to make replicas of Him, giving Him a portion of his crops, sacrificing animals, and some times their own kind. Almost 2,000 years ago “the Word became flesh” in a superior way, some claim that He was God. He had to be God in that all things has to manifest through the vibratory power of God. I believe He was a Son of God, brought to that state by a previous relationship with the Father, other than that an older brother, but still a Son. The Word of God; is it a book of many books, a Man, a Son? Yes, we all move live and have our being in God. There is nothing that can exist, that can continue outside the vibrating love of God. So, let us attune our souls to vibrate in perfest harmony with His divine nature, and thus enjoy the music of the spheres. □ The ones to buy first because they last. □ GRAVELY A DIVISION OF CLARKE-GRAVELY COR FOR ATI ON LAWN & GARDEN TRACTORS • choice of riders or convertible “walk-orride” models • 7.6 to 16.5 HP • wide range of attachments for mowing, gardening, grounds care, snow removal • all-gear drive, instant forward-neutral-reverse “SALES AND SERVICE" ALTON W.

Social Security appeal process described A FOUR-STEP appeals process is available to people dissatisfied with Social Security Administration decisions on supplemental security income payments, according to Mrs. Hazel F. Crumpton, social security district manager in Winchester. The supplemental security income program provides monthly checks for people with little or no income and limited resources who are 65 or over or blind or disabled. Persons who get notice that they’re ineligible or who think the amount of their monthly supplemental security income payment is wrong can ask first for a reconsideration, she said. “They have 30 days from the date they receive their originial supplemental security income decision notice to ask for a reconsideration,” she added. A reconsideration is a complete review, usually made by someone in the social security office who didn’t take part in the original decision—or by the State Department of Vocational Rehabilitation if there’s a medical issue. “Those who disagree with the reconsideration decision have 30 days to ask for a hearing before an official of the Bureau of Hearings and Appeals of the Social Security Administration,” Mrs. Crumpton said. The hearing is usually held in the city where the social security office handling the supplemental security income case is located. People who disagree with the hearing decision have 30 days to ask for a review by the Appeals Council, which has offices in Philadelphia, Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, and San Francisco. “The Appeals Council decides whether it will review a supplemental security income hearing decision,’’ she said. “If it decides to review a case, persons involved can ask to appear before the Appeals Council and make oral arguments.” Those who disagree with the Appeals Council decision have 60 days to file suit in a Federal district court. “You can get information about the four review steps by calling, writing, or visiting any social security office,” Mrs. Crumpton said. “The steps must be taken in order, but you don’t have to take all four. Some people may want to stop the review after a reconsideration decision, for example. “But those who don’t ask for the first review step— reconsideration—have no further appeal rights,” she said.

Robert Woodside will be the guest speaker at the church on Sunday, July 7 at 11 a.m.C Gamp user fees reinstated SUPERINTENDENT Robert Jacobsen notes that user fees to camp in Shenandoah National Park were reinstated Friday, June 21. Beginning on that date, the Park began collecting a $2 per site per night fee to camp at Matthews Arm, Big Meadows, Lewis Mountain and Loft Mountain Campgrounds. The fee for Dundo Campground is $3 per site per night. In addition, the National Park' Service has announced that it plans to expand its campground reservation system to include Shenandoah National Park this summer. Jacobsen explained that Park Reservation Systems, Inc., (PRS), the company which will handle campsite reservations in 21 areas of the National Park System, will have telephone service available only for information until June 22. After that date, telephone reservations can be made for a campsite if the camper has a Master Charge or Bank Americard credit card to which the cost of reserving the campsite can be charged. PRS is maintaining one toll-free long distance telephone number 800-553-8425, and two toll-charge numbers; 319-365-4348 and 319363-0221. THE CAMPER would pay a $2 reservation service charge, plus the usual $2 per night campground fee to reserve a campsite. Reservations may also be made in writing to Park Reservations Systems, P.O. Box 1976, Cedar Rapids, Iowa 52406. Shenandoah National Park and the 20 other National Park Service areas are expected to be on a reservation system by July 1, and as the camping season progresses, there will be fewer and fewer campsites available on a first-come, first-served basis. Because of this change in campground management, Jacobsen suggests that those visitors who want to be assured of a campsite should make reservations early. Entrance fees to the Park are unaffected by the reinstitution of user fees, and will remain at $2 per visit or $10 for the Golden Eagle passport, which will be honored at all recreation fee areas for the 1974 calendar year.D No billboards, says Robinson REP. J. Kenneth Robinson says he has instructed his campaign organization to refrain from highway billboard advertising in behalf of his candidacy for reelection to Congress. “I believe that most citizens favor a reduction in billboards along our Virginia highways, and, while I recognize the importance of adequate highway signing to direct motorists to our Virginia scenic and historic attractions, accommodations and other services to the traveling public, I think that the use of large billboards in the countryside to promote candidates for public office is an outmoded technique—and properly so,” Robinson said. GENERAL REVENUE SHARING General Revenue Sharing provides federal funds directly to local and state governments. The law requires each government to publish a report of its plans for the use of these funds to inform its citizens and to tncourage their participation in deciding how the money ought to be spent. Within the purposes listed, your government may change this spending plan._ 14 OTHER (Specify) .Survey of Sewer TOTALS 1 THI WASHINGTON TOWN ANTICIPATING A GENERAL REVENUE SHARING PAYMENT OF_$2,208_ FOR THE FIFTH ENTITLEMENT PERIOD.

The artist’s drawing of the small building in Washington which will be restored by the Rappahannock Historical Society. Waldron O’Connor of Washington made the drawing. Historical Society to restore building THE RAPPAHANNOCK Historical Society is undertaking restoration of a small historic building on Gay Street in Washington, Va. The two-story brick building dates from the eighteenth century and is believed to be one of the earliest brick structures in the town. Society members felt it was fitting that the society begin this endeavor in the 225th anniversary year of the survey by the youthful George Washington of this county seat. The building will serve as headquarters for Rappahannock Historical Society. The first floor will contain a display of items relating to the history of the county while the second floor serves as a conference room for meetings and discussions. The basement area will house the society’s records and provide storage for historic items. No timetable has been charted for the completion of the restoration; however, everything will be done to expedite the project, according to James F. Massie, president of the society. Persons desiring to aid in the restoration of this building or wishing additional information concerning the project or the Rappahannock Historical Society may contact Mr. Massie at Amissville or Mrs. Robert P. Anderson, Woodville.O I EARLY S CARPET SALES & SERVICE LARGE OURLAWOE Nationally known iianos IMPORTED ORIENTALS ALSO REMNANTS f ALEXANDER SMITH patcraft mohawk RARWiCK MASLANO I RESIDENTIAL COMMERCIAL BUDGET TERMS CUSTOM draperies slipcovers (MADE LOCALLY r I VISIT OUR SHOWROOM OR CALI.

Washington's carnival opened last night and continues through Saturday. Tuesday the rides were erected and the youngsters could hardly wait for the official opening of the festivities. Seal sale plans made “CHRISTMAS planning in June is a must for the Virginia Lung Association,” commented Mrs. Annie Cooke, Rappahannock County Christmas Seal Chairman for the Northern Region of VLA. And planning for the Christmas Seal Campaign was the object of the workshop held for the Chairmen of the eight counties that comprise the Northern Region. The meeting was held at the Regional Office in Front Royal last Wednesday morning. Chairmen were welcomed by Mrs. E. Wilson Morrison, Regional Program Director, and the purposes of the workshop explained. A slide-sound presentation of the Virginia Lung Association Program of Work for 1974 was shown to the group. The many local programs funded by the sale of Christmas Seals were discussed and the coming years’ work highlighted. SAMPLE sheets of the new ’74 Christmas Seal were previewed with discussion as to ways the seals could be used and displayed. Projected calendars were made to provide time for Chairmen to solicit volunteer aid to help in the many activities connected with the Campaign. The workshop ended at noon with the Chairmen being luncheon guests of the Association. □ THREE DAY SPECIALS June 27 - 28- 29 For this Three Day Special we have short cuts of TREVIRA POLYESTER DOUBLE KNITS at the low, low price of $2.00 PER YARD, TREVIRA POLYESTER DOUBLE KNIT CREPE (Solid Colors).

J. P. Mills, Jr., the department’s traffic and safety engineer, said that despite improved availability of gasoline supplies, weekday travel was down 2.4 percent, Saturday travel was off 8.4 per cent, and Sunday traffic dropped 13.9 per cent. It marked the fifth consecutive month that travel on the major highways— the interstate, arterial and primary routes—had been below levels for the corresponding months a year ago. In recent years, traffic has been increasing at the rate of 5 to 6 per cent annually. MILLS attributed the reduction in May to the public’s continued efforts to conserve fuel and to the higher prices of gasoline. He said that travel by all passenger cars decreased 5.4 per cent, travel by Virginia passenger cars was down 4.4 per cent, and travel by out-of-state cars decreased 10 per cent. Commercial vehicle travel was up 1.5 per cent over May of 1973.□ Handicapped invited to meet “Several staff members of the Virginia Commission for the Visually Handicapped will be at the Handley Library, Braddock, and Piccadilly, Winchester on Tuesday, July 9 from 1 p.m. until 5 p.m., and on Wednesday, July 10 from 9 a.m. until 12 p.m. The purpose of these meetings is to meet and to talk with as many of the blind and visually handicapped in the areas as is possible.

Due to the increase demand by pulpwood and particle companies, the wood shavings and sawdust are in short supply. However, a substitute for the shavings and sawdust is also produced at the sawmill; in many cases, bark can be substituted and in special uses, it is far superior. At the moderate sawmill, the logs are debarked before they are sawed. In past years this bark was either used by the sawmill as fuel for their dry kiln operation or was burned or deposited in some other manner as waste. Due to the strict air pollution regulations, most sawmills are not burning their bark but are piling it. This extra space at most mills is growing smaller. Bark can be used for PUBLIC AUCTION Saturday, June 29 at 10:00 a.m. Located 1 1/2 miles from Flint Hill Fire Hall on Route 606-628, Fodderstack Road (follow signs); Sevareid property.

Lunch will be served. many purposed on the farm and around the home. Due to its absorbent characteristic, bark can be used for animal bedding, poultry houses, in stockyards and feed lots. After use as bedding for cattle or poultry, the bark can be spread over the fields and plowed into the soil; this adds organic matter which helps to create a good till, also makes an adequate shortage medium for nutrition. ONE FARMER in Illnois found the bark so useful that he now has a small business of supplying other farmers with bark. He also mixes limestone, bark and manure for composit material and sells it to nurseries and landscapers. ' Bark also makes a good mulch for strawberry, apple orchards, and flower gardens. The mulch reduces weeding, watering, and fertilizing, saves time, money and in many cases, increases the fruit yields. Bark also is a good soil stabilizer. Hardwood bark is especially good for this, due to its stringy characteristic; it is not easily windblown and will stay in place longer than other materials. Pasture fields with sheet erosion, road banks, new construction, etc. could be stablized with the use of bark. These are only a few of the many uses for which bark can be applied. At present, much of the bark at the sawmills is wasted. Why not contact these mills and ask about helping them with their bark disposal problem? You might be surprised at the benefits received. Like the Illnois farmer, it may grow into another business enterprise for an energetic and imaninative person. □ HILLSDALE DRIVE-IN Washington, Va. SHOW STARTS AT DUSK Fri., Sat. & Sun.
