Vfl. SlAifc Lltiltflitl OCT 25 \974 SltfE library A'no-growth’ plan? McNear says it’s possible in Rappahannock BY PEKAY PETTUS RICHARD MCNEAR, Planning Engineer for Fauquier County, told members of the Rappahannock Planning Commission last Wednesday night that “comprehensive planning has its benefits and dangers.” A comprehensive plan provides a “legal rationale” to back up subdivision and zoning ordinances, McNear said, but often a plan also promotes growth. Last month, Rappahannock’s Supervisors turned down the planners’ request for additional funds to be used in preparing an “environmental inventory,” which the planners thought was a necessary first step in drafting a comprehensive plan. Several Supervisors commented that they thought the county should postpone such “planning” for a while. So the Planning Commission invited Richard McNear, a former resident of Rappahannock, to reflect on his experiences with comprehensive planning in Fauquier County. McNear began his talk by denying he was an expert. “I don’t have a list of impressive credentials and I don’t wish to represent myself as an expert in the field of land use planning. An expert can usually be defined as an individual with a brief case who is more than 25 miles from home. Warrenton is not quite 25 miles and I forgot my briefcase.” But McNear said he has spent two and a half years as Planning Engineer for Fauquier, which he called “relatively progressive, planning-wise.” STATE ENABLING legislation which provides for zoning and planning authority at the county level is vague and subject to interpretation, McNear said. “This is particulary so when looking for the ability to make conservation and agricultural districts just that.” McNear said that “the importance of this enabling legislation and the many legal precedents which have been set cannot be underestimated. “When push comes to shove, it will be the judge who has the final say,” he said. “Hence, it is necessary to prepare ordinances and comprehensive plans with full knowledge that it must pass the legal test.” The basic test of a subdivision or zoning ordinance is whether it See Page 8 Standard time Standard Time returns to the area this Sunday morning, October 27.

Taylor, Chairman, Rappahannock Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service. First duty of the newly elected community committee members will be to serve as delegates to elect new members to the county ASC committee. Taylor reminds producers that this is an important occasion for the responsible, farmer-chosen team of ASC community committeemen. The ASC community committee election will be conducted by mail from November 22 to December 2. By turning in a total of six or more petitions, farmers in each ASC community have the opportunity to prepare the slate of nominees themselves. Mr. Taylor hopes that farmers will submit enough valid petitions to fill the Shortly after October 29, all petitions will be reviewed. If six or more valid petitions have been received for an ASC community, the county ASCS office will prepare a slate containing the names of all eligible nominees. If less than six valid petitions are received for any ASC community, the job of slate completion will be turned over to the incumbent community committee, which will add nominees needed to complete the slate. THE COUNTY ASC committee will review all community slates prior to the mail election and will advise all candidates of the duties of an ASC committeeman. In order to submit a valid peti Play in rehearsal THINGS ARE SHAPING UP for the musical “You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown.’’ Director Don Bomberger has chosen a cast of six singers and actors to recreate the major characters in the famous comic strip. All play participants are hoping the house will be packed all three nights in November when the play is presented at the Elementary School, beginning on Thursday, November 21. The play, said Bomberger, includes all the famous -Peanuts episodes-Linus and his precious blanket, Schroeder and his piano playing, Charlie Brown and his baseball team, Snoopj and the Repau*r<Rippey will be Charlie Brown; Doug Nichols is Linus; Sandy Eugster is Patty; Vickie Laing is Lucy; Robin Laing is Schroeder, and Jeff Foster is Snoopy.l_ tion, three or more ASC farm voters must sign a statement endorsing an eligible candidate. The statement must include certification that the nominee will serve if elected. Petitions must be dated and mailed or hand-delivered to the county ASCS office no later than October 29. The opportunity to nominate, vote, and be elected to office in the upcoming ASC committee election is guaranteed to all farmers regardless of race, religion, sex, color, or natural origin.□ Mrs. Ruby Bell of Louisa, right, has been giving instructions on spinning to Mrs. Frances Grimsley of Culpeper, at the other wheel; Mrs. Louise Hensley of Culpeper, Mrs. Ruth Pillar of Sperryville and Mrs. Margey Albright, Washington.

LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 On ‘apathy’ POLITICAL talk has been heard aplenty throughout the Piedmont and Valley section of Virginia, and in the final two weeks or so before election day, there’s bound to be a lot more of it. And that’s all right. Talking is one of the things politicians are supposed to do, and writing about what they talk about is one of the things newspapermen are supposed to do, and by and large, both sides manage to live with the arrangement fairly well. Politicians have done pretty well in denouncing each other, of course, and that’s been fairly entertaining. And as election day nears, we want to put in a plea that they please, please refrain from denouncing the voters. That’s right, denouncing the voters. Sure as November 5 rolls around, one or another of the candidates will take off on a tangent the gist of which will be that if you, the Voter, don’t go to the polls and express a preference, anything that goes wrong afterward will be your fault. “Voter apathy’’ will also draw the ire of more than one editorial writer, if. we know anything at all about our own profession. WELL, WHAT about “voter apathy,” and not going to the polls? Do we blame the things that have happened in national government over the past few years on the people who didn’t vote, or on the people who voted certain people into office? It’s an interesting question, and not easily dismissed by platitudes about “voter apathy.” Sometimes voters are “apathetic” for good reason, and not the least of these reasons is continued frustration in their efforts to obtain responsive government, even at the most local levels. We can name any number of county and municipal organizations in this area which, to the best of our knowledge, are not representative of their constituents, and who make it a practice to ignore the most active systems, almost as a matter of policy. Some of our small town governments provide the most notorious examples. So, please, politicians (and editorial writers), let’s not berate even those citizens who might, technically, qualify for the “apathetic” label. Maybe they’re that way for a good reason. It’s up to us to give them reasons for being otherwise. □ Letters to the editor Citizens thanked for support Editor: The support from the community and our friends for the lunch and bake sale sponsored over the weekend by the Recreation Center was wonderful. The net profit from the two days was $174, which is a lot of money, considering it came from the sale of individual sandwiches, cups of coffee and pieces of pie and cake. I want to thank everyone who showed so much interest in this event and helped make it such a success, including all the members of the fund-raising committee, the people in the various communities who donated baked goods and other items, all those who worked in various capacities on Saturday and Sunday, and a special thanks to the young people who worked long and cheerfully both days. Thanks to all. Thanks also to those who have sent in their “Recreation Center Building Blocks” representing one dollar per family member. These have started coming in, along with some larger donations, for which we are grateful. The fund drive will continue until we have enough money to create a Recreation Center which will truly meet the needs of the youth, the young adults, and the senior citizens of Rappahannock County. With everybody’s continued support, this will be a reality soon.

Planning boosted Editor: Thank you for the most kind comments concerning the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection in your editorial last week. RLEP hopes to continue to be worthy of the pride, admiration and support of every citizen and friend of Rappahannock County. However, the remainder of your editorial would appear to be merely another word of caution to those readers who are still not aware that planning does not necessarily include any of the traditional urbanizing growth elements found in metropolitan area plans. The October RLEP Newsletter account of the September 18 meeting, whereat the Supervisors rejected every effort by the Planning Commission to date; was no less accurate or responsible than the Rappahannock News account of September 26. The Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals, in a 1959 decision against Fairfax County, ruled that zoning and subdivision ordinances, alone, are not sufficient to prevent undesirable development. Rappahannock’s ordinances, to which RLEP’s members and others have devoted much effort, are splendid statements of intent but thereby, we suspect, worthless in a court of law against a determined and wellfinanced developer. Many folks feel that our present ordinances are already worthless regarding the preservation of our agriculture resource base. The only answer to our mutual desire that Rappahannock’s “present beautiful, healthy, rural way of life be continued and enhanced" is PLANNING. And please remember that planners are not decisionmakers. Plans are approved or disapproved by the voters in public hearings and thru their elected representatives. As you will undoubtedly report elsewhere in this issue, RLEP’s directors have recently approved creation of a special fund for tax - deductible private contributions. This fund will be at the disposal of the Rappahannock Planning Commission to provide whatever planning tools they may request. We feel that the Supervisor’s categorical rejection of the Commission’s efforts to date, in reality, reflects a financially conservative electorate rather than a vote against planning for the survival of Rappahannock’s natural resources. This is what really matters to us all and RLEP is pleased to offer this further public service of private rather than public funds toward the preservation of our county’s environment. Phil Irwin Pres., RLEP Kindergarten questions EDITOR: In reading the many articles which have been published about kindergartens, I have not found the change in entrance dates for first grade pupils mentioned. For many years a child was required to be six by October 1, but the picture has changed. In 1974 a child is required to be six by November 1; in 1975, six by December 1; in 1976, six by January 1. This change will put a kindergarten four-and-a-halfyear-old on a school bus early in the morning for a long, long day. He’ll return home late in the afternoon exhausted and cross, unable to participate in any pleasant family life, which each child needs. It makes one wonder, too, how this will affect his attitude towards school. . Everyone who has worked witn small children knows many find the days at the beginning of school long and they are tired before 3 o’clock during the transition period from home to school life—and these are six-year-olds.

Farm census to begin in January THE 1974 Census of Agriculture, the largest agricultural statistical project of the past five years, will begin in January. It will be conducted by the Bureau of the Census, part of the Department of Commerce’s Social and Economic Statistics Administration. From Alaska to Florida, from Maine to Hawaii, farmers and ranchers will receive census forms in the mail around the first of the new year. The report forms are to be filled out and mailed back promptly. Farmers themselves have participated in deciding what information is collected in the census. Representatives of farm organizations such as the Farm Bureau, The Grange, Farmers Union, National' Farmers Organization, and Farmers Cooperatives serve on the Advisory Committee that rec ommends to the Bureau the questions that should be included in the census. THREE KINDS of information are requested about operations during 1974: first, a count of farm resources, number of farms, area of farm land, acres of cropland and pasture, number of each kind of livestock and poultry, number of persons working on farms, number of various kinds of farm equipment; second, a record of farm products produced and sold during 1974; and third, selected farming activities during 1974 such as number of days of off-farm work by the farmer, amount spent for farm labor, for custom work, for feed, for gasoline and oil. To report this kind of information, a farmer will need to have a few simple records. The Census Sperryville postmaster MRS. ALINE B. JOHNSON has been appointed postmaster of Sperryville Post Office it has been announced by Francis X. Biglin, Regional Postmaster General for the Eastern Region of the U.S. Postal Service. Mrs. Johnson was one of 14 postmasters appointed in the Eastern Region States of Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia. The appointments, effective October 18, add to the increasing number of postmasters named by. the U.S. Postal Service under the non-political merit system established by the Postal Reorganization Act of 1970, Biglin said. Recommendations for appointments of postmasters are submitted by Regional Management Selection Boards, consisting of [x>stal and non-postal members.□ Mrs. Aline Johnson DEMONSTRATIONS SCHEDULED Basket Making Rock Polishing rottery Making Carving Special Prices on Beautiful Shrubbery for North Carolina Saturday and Sunday October 26 and 27 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. WITS END Crafts and Antiques Route 211 at Ben Venue Bureau is urging each farmer to have his records of quantities harvested, products sold, major farm expenses and the like readily available so that he can easily and accurately fill out his census report when it comes. It is from the Census of Agriculture, conducted every five years, that data are taken to form the basis for programs of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Congressional farm legislation, farm organization policies, farm programs established and administered by State departments of agriculture, and many other services provided by colleges, business firms, manufacturers, publishers and broadcasters. THE CENSUS of Agriculture is the only source of statistics on agriculture that are comparable from county to county nationwide. It is the sole source of comprehensive data tabulated for each State and for the U.S. for farms classified by size, tenure, type of organization, market value of products sold, and type of farm enterprise. Every farmer’s report is confidential by law. It may be seen only by sworn Census employees and may be used only for statistical purposes. The mail census method reinforces confidentiality. And it allows the farmers to complete his report at his convenience with accurate information from his records.□ Robinson praised Editor: Let me say how fortunate I think we are to have a man like Kenneth Robinson representing us at Washington. It has been my pleasure to have known Kenneth since college days at Virginia Tech. He is a farmer, ororchardist which is all the same to me, a conservative, and above all is completely honest, smart and has the guts to stand up for his convictions. Come next month, I trust Rappahannokans will see that Kenneth continues to represent us. W.H.

Re-Elect Your Proven Congressmen Robinson soys: “To curb inflation, we must cut federal spending until it hurts.” Congressman Robinson—sole Virginia member of the House Appropriations Committee—is in a position to work for economy in committee and on the floor of the House. Robinson and other economy advocates have won some battles against the big spenders, but have lost too many. If you pay taxes to the Federal Government, you need his vote in Congress—and he needs your vote on Election Day—November 5th. Robinson’s opposition is asking for a “veto-proof" Congress, which means enough spender votes to override any veto of excessive appropriations. DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN ! BEWARE OF UNQUALIFIED SUBSTITUTES : WHAT HAS HE DONE FOR US LATELY? Congressman Robinson was a leader in the successful effort to modify federal regulations which could have made it virtually impossible to maintain a quality fruit industry in Virginia because of intolerable pesticide regulations not justified by any solid evidence of hazard. Congressman Robinson, through sponsorship of legislation and strong representations to the Department of Labor, is fighting the OSHA regulations which bear down on agriculture and all small business. 3 J.

Keep address current I FROM TIME to time the social security office gets reports that some people have not received their regular social security checks. Mrs. Hazel F. Crumpton, KSTErict Manager of the Winchester Social Security Office, said one of the chief reasons for this is that the beneficiary has moved, changed his mailing address but has not notified his social security office of the change. Therefore, the regular check is issued and sent to the old address. The beneficiary is no longer there and the check is returned to the Treasury Department. “Many people who have changed their address may have had their checks forwarded to them from their previous post office. They may get a few checks this way, but this is not meant to be a permanent arrangement, and the checks sooner or later will be returned and not forwarded,” she said. THE CORRECT thing to do when changing a mailing address (even a change of street number or post office box number) is to let the social security office know of the change. “The next time you get a check, if the address on it is not exactly the same as your present address, write to the social security office in Winchester and let them know of it at once,” Mrs. Crumpton said. The local office at 20 S. Cameron St., is open from 8:45 to 5 p.m. The telephone number is 6671511.□ A new selection of marine life has been received for the acquarium at Rappahannock County Elementary School.

*No - growth’ plan for Rappahannock^ From Pace 1 is “arbitrary or capricious,” Me - Near said. He said that ordinances and comprehensive plans “trade off’ individual property rights against the interests of the public. McNear noted that Rappahannock has a “strong tradition of individual property rights,” but he also noted that many people are beginning to recognize that “land cannot be treated as an inexhaustible commodity, but must be treated as a limited resource in which all have an interest.” “THE COURTS are beginning to be sympathetic to these public concerns,” McNear said. But in order for a locality to restrict the right of an individual property owner to do what he wants with his land, that locality must have convincing legal rationale, he said. McNear said that a comprehensive plan provides this “rationale” for subdivision and zoning ordinances and gives local government added legal basis for denial of subdivision and, rezoning requests. Such ordinances must apply equally to all or they will be discriminatory. It is through a comprehensive plan that a locality states its goals and intentions concerning land use, McNear said. The ordinances are the means through which these goals are attained, but the com prehensive plan is a “legal back19’’ for the ordinances, and will increase the chances that a legal test of the ordinances will be decided in favor of the locality. McNear said a county must be prepared to go to court. “When the real growth pressure comes, the ‘big boys’ will not hesitate to haul you into court and use any technicality to get their way,” he said. He noted that in his two and a half years in Fauquier “there has always been something in court.” He added that “the county is doing fairly well” in defending these challenges, and attributed that success to Fauquier’s “foresight in preparing its legal rationale, much of which comes from the comprehensive plan.” MCNEAR LAUDED Rappahannock’s efforts in preparing their existing zoning and subdivision ordinances. He said these documents represent “an innovative, progressive approach.” He felt, however, they could be successfully challenged in court on many aspects. “This assessment is not meant to be derogatory, but a constructive warning based on an assessment of what has been taking place in Fauquier and the courts nationwide.” McNear ackowledged that many opponents of comprehensive plans argue that a plan has to provide for growth.

PAID POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT _ ...him,',,,.! Hum lllill this has been true of many plans, but he said it is not necessary. “I believe it depends on local goals and the will and desire of the people to attain those goals.” He thought Rappahannock had an especially good chance to draft a plan that did not provide for growth. According to the State Division of Planning and Community Development, Rappahannock population has not changed substantially for a long time and is not expected to change much in the future, MeNq&i* said. McNear noted that Rappahannock has lost population since the 1930s, and the State Division of Planning and Community Development projects a population of only 5,100 by the year 2000. “Basically, this represents a no-growth trend,” he said. McNear added that almost all economic activity in Rappahannock County is dependant on or a derivative of the agriculture and forestry industries. “Protection and stimulation of these can be considered as paramount to the future economic well-being of Rappahannock,” he said, noting also that much of Rappahannock has been designated as a critical environmental area. “This kind of rationale, when developed and documented in a plan, can provide the legal basis needed to support the ordinances,” McNear said. EVEN WITHOUT population growth, there could be a considerable re-distribution of housing within Rappahannock, McNear said. This re-location is now occuring in the form of strip development, he said. “If the county does not want to perpetuate this kind of housing redistribution, it may want to plan locations where it is more desirable...perhaps in and around existing villages.” “Another area of concern for Rappahannock should be recreational and second home developments, for which Rappahannock is most desirable,” McNear said. “This kind of development has its pros and cons...If desired it can provide needed employment and tax base advantages, provided it is properly controlled. Again, the comprehensive plan can provide the rationale” for that control, McNear said. Fauquier’s Planning Engineer said that Fauquier’s comprehensive plan does provide for growth. “This is not necessarily a drawback. It is a reflection of the desires of the locality as expressed in their goals.” MCNEAR SAID the Fauquier plan “is a long way from perfect.” Fauquier’s planners are currently working to make the plan “a more V adequate tool for achieving the goals.” The revisions will also reflect an added goal, McNear said, providing for population growth at a rate consonant with the ability of the county to raise revenue and provide services. “When talking about Fauquier’s plan, many will hasten to say “You have a plan and look at all the growth,’” McNear said. But “Fauquier is on the front lines or in the big leagues, so to speak,” he said. “What would Fauquier be like if it had not adopted a comprehensive plan and the Supervisors had not been committed to it? Prince William.is a fair example of a county that has had neither, and I will let you draw your own conclusions.” McNear showed a map of Fauquier’s master plan. “We have had no subdivisions in the conservation district and only several minor subdivisions in the agricultural district,” he said. The definition of a subdivision in Fauquier is currently in lots of ten acres or less, but that is in the process of being increased to 25, McNear said. The comprehensive plan has provided the legal basis for several substantial rezoning requests, McNear said. One was a proposed development in the Great Run Valley that would have doubled the county population in just a few years. Another request, denied on the basis of the comprehensive [dan, would have allowed a shopping center on the corner of Route 29-211 and a secondary road. SUCH A location might sound ideal for a shopping center, but the comprehensive plan specifically states that no further commercial strip development be permitted along that highway, McNear said. Pete Luke, chairman of Rappahannock’s Supervisors, was worried about the state enabling legislation that allows counties to draft a comprehensive plan. “The language of that does tend to make it a plan for growth,” he said. McNear agreed, but said Rappahannock has a better opportunity for drafting a no-growth plan than other areas. “No one thinks this area will grow a whole lot,’’McNear said. “There’s no railroad here, no navigable river, no real road, except 211, and no labor force.” So, he said, Rappahannock could probably author a reasonable nogrowth plan. Besides, courts today, are more tolerant of no-growth policies than they were several years ago, McNear said. Fanning Baumgardner wondered if growth had to always be thought of in terms of population. “We could make it a point to enSee Pace 10 —————^ PUBLIC SALE Saturday, November 2 beginning at 10 a.m. Perseaal property from the haaie ef Geraldine Settle, Bestea, ¥a.

‘No - growth’ plan for Rappahannock? From Pace 8 courage agriculture, recreation and conservation practices. That’s growth,” he said. McNear, again, said that, even without population growth, the “redistribution of housing” could have a substantial visual impact, such as strip development. A plan could emphasize developing the area around existing villages first, he said. Pete Luke said he felt this should be done, too, perhaps by decreasing the minimum lot size around the towns. DAVID FANNON wasn’t so sure it would work. “My question is, would the people who were going to build on five acres on the Viewtown Road going to build on one acre in Sperryville?” Fannon added that he also wondered if Rappahannock would be encouraging the speculator by decreasing the lot size around the towns. Pete Luke noted that some Supervisors are skeptical of a comprehensive plan because they thought it provided for growth. “Now, getting into a comprehensive plan, I’m not so sure we have to be as comprehensive as we thought on the first go-round,” he said. “If you want to protect agriculture, and it’s hard to do, you’ll need every conceivable tool you can come up with,” McNear said. Pete Luke and Fanning Baumgardner noted that Rappahannock’s ordinances include a good bit of information about “goals” for land use in the county. They agreed it might not be thorough enough, but said that the ordinances do include a “broad discussion” of the correction in which Rappahannock wants to go. McNear noted that much of Rappahannock’s ordinances are based on slopes, using that to require a larger minimum lot size in steep areas. “Requiring a five-acre lot on a 14% slope and allowing a twoacre lot on a 13% slope could well be considered arbitrary,” McNear said. He also wondered how basing minimum lot size on steep slopes REAL ESTATE FLINT HILL AREA—12 1/2 acres—Beautifully wooded with several acres cleared. Lovely building site. Fronts on Kt. 606.

GARNETT SCOTT, SPECIAL COMMISSIONER Woodstock, Virginia Telephone: 459-3017 would work to protect agriculture. E. A. MANWARING suggested that Rappahannock would be “planning backwards.” Noting that the county already had the ordinances, he said that what Rappahannock needs to do is develop the goals that those ordinances are implementing. Pete Luke and McNear agreed. “But to move back, we’re going to need information and data,” Luke said, bringing up the maps, on an “environmental inventory,” for which the planners had requested additional funds from the Supervisors and had been turned down. Luke said he didn’t think that Rappahannock might need as many of the maps as they had first thought. “I’ve sat through many hours of planning since 1962 and I think that once we go back and look we’ll find a whole lot of planning’s been done and recorded,” said Planning Commission Chairman Herbert Barksdale. Eileen Day asked McNear what Fauquier had done to prevent further development in agricultural areas. “Our agricultural zone is a misnomer,” McNear said. “They are the zones where agriculture exists, but which allow for a minimum lot size of two acres. There have been several two-acre subdivisions and the county didn’t have the legal wherewithall to say no. We are now doing a technical study, getting information so we will be able to define prime agricultural areas.” “IT MAY be that zoning is not the answer,” McNear said, “it may be that you should never develop some of the prime agricultural soils, at any minimum lot size.” He added that “performance zoning” is a technique being tried with some success in other areas. It provides that a certain amount of the property to be developed for residential or other purposes remain in open space, available for agricultural use. E.A. Manwaring said “if I were a farmer I would object strenuously to ordinances that require a farmer to stay a farmer but do nothing to actually encourage agriculture.” McNear agreed. “Incentives for agriculture must also be provided,” he said. RETURNING to the subject of the “environmental inventory” maps which the planning commission had hoped to get, Phil Irwin said the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection “can, and will if requested, establish a special fund” to pay for such a study. Irwin said that RLEP must first receive a formal request from the county. Pete Luke felt that the Planning Commission ought to use the $500 they have on hand to pay for part of the study. “Thus we wouldn’t be accepting their offer in full but I think the county should have some part in this.” The cost of the environmental inventory maps would be $1500. The Planning Commission had earlier asked the Piedmont Environmental Council of Warrenton to undertake the study and prepare the maps. The work would actually cost $3000, but PEC has a matching grant that would provide half the funds. Luke also wondered if Rappahannock needed all the maps that PEC offered to produce. “It may be that we don’t really need$1500 worth of work. We may just need $1000 or $700,” he said. If the county only ordered a smaller set of maps to start with, it might mean that more people would be able to comprehend then and wouldn’t be so overwhelmed by such a large amount of technical information, Luke said, adding that he would be one of those who would be “lost” if too many of the mpas were thrown at him at one time. “Is this offer made to the Planning Commission?” Herbert Barksdale asked Irwin. He was told it was. “I suppose we ought to discuss it and inform the Supervisors first,” Barksdale said. “If the Planning Commission will make a list of what maps they need, RLEP will establish a special fund to pay for them,” Irwin said, repeating that a request must come from the planners. JIM WHITE from the Rappahannock-Rapidan District Planning Commission said that Phil Irwin had indicated he wanted to give an open space easement on 39.704 acres near Flint Hill. “This doesn’t require a decision by the Planning Commission, but we wanted to find out if this is acceptable and consistent with local planning,” White said. The Planners nodded that it was. If Irwin’s open space easement is accepted by the Virginia Outdoors Foundation, it will prohibit any future .development on the property. □ J EARLY’S CARPET SALES A SERVICE VANNUAL FALL SALE NOW in PROGRESS LARGE DISPLAY OF NATIONALLY KNOWN BRANDS IMPORTED ORIENTALS ALSO REMNANTS Featuring BARWICK PATCRAFT MASLAND MOHAWK ALEXANDER SMITH RESIDENTIAL COMMERCIAL BUDGET TERMS CUSTOM DRAPERIES - SLIPCOVERS (MADE LOCALLY) CUSTOM & STOCK WINDOW SHADES WALL-TO-WALL CARPET INSTALLATIONS VISIT OUR SHOWROOM OR CALL FOR EXPERT RUG CLEANING SHOP AT HOME SERVICE Call 937-4404 or 825-8232 ^ 128 S.

Miss Annie Miller Almond of Washington, a retired teacher, has been assisting in the Rappahannock County Elementary School Library this week with the annual Book Fair. She assisted Mrs. Lucia Kilby, Librarian, with the book orders and helped the young people make wise selections. Stops are dangerous STOPPING on high speed roadways is dangerous even when safety precautions are taken. “When fatigue or mechanical failures force an unscheduled stop, try to pull-off at a rest area if possible,” says John T. Hanna, director, Highway Safety Division of Virginia. “Stopping at road sides is .extremely dangerous. Placing warning devices is no guarantee against crashes occurring.” One example recently cited by the Division’s Crash Investigation Team (CIT) involved a vehicle that had pulled off an interstate to mike mechanical repairs. The vehicle was stopped on the emergency lane with its two right wheels off the pavement. While waiting for help, the driver remained in his car with the emergency flashers on. An approaching vehicle struck the 'Stopped vehicle with such impact that its rear was pushed into the front seat and the gas tank exploded. The driver of the stopped vehicle died in the fire. A CIT spokesman made the following suggestions for motorists to follow when forced to stop on high speed roadways: • Pull off the roadway as far as possible. • Turn on flashers to warn approaching motorists. If a vehicle is not equipped with flashers, place other warning devices. • Get everyone out of and away from the stopped vehicle. “Flashers on a stopped vehicle might be confusing to out of state motorists. Several other states require vehicles traveling below a certain speed to use their flashers. Flashers on a vehicle stopped near a driving lane might appear to be a moving vehicle,” warned Hanna.□ JJmperty (Mfprtnga u..hunters rejoice!

VIRGINIA 22117 Eileen Day 987-8121 Candy Coombs 675-3485 Fall Beef Field Day SHENANDOAH Valley Research Station is the location for a Fall Beef and Sheep Field Day sponsored by VPI Extension Service and the Animal Science Department. The program is scheduled for Thursday,November 7, at Steeles Tavern, from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. This is a follow-up program to one held last Fall which was “overwhelmingly received.” The program has special information and emphasis on the work with crossbreeding of British breeds and the exotics, winter grazing results and managements research to reduce labor and increase profit. The program follows: Presiding, Dr. M.B. Wise, Head, Virginia Tech Animal Science Department. Welcome, W.H. McClure, Station Superintendent. “Preserved High Moisture Corn for Finishing Beef Heifers,’’ Dr. J.P. Fontenot, Virginia Tech Animal Science Department. “Cattle Crossbreeding Systems for More Pounds and Profits,” Dr. R.C. Carter, Va.

Meacham, Virginia Tech Animal Science Department. “New Sheep Management Research to Reduce Labor & Increase Profit,” G.A. Allen, Jr., Virginia Tech Animal Science Department. Si Sez “REMEMBER THE SABBATH day to keep, it holy.” In the book of Jasher it reads thus: “Ye shall set apart every seventh day as a day of rest, thou shalt not work therein, thou, thy wife etc." Now was this law a direct edict from God, inspired by God or just good common sense. Moses and the’ seventy elders, under God’s direction, compiled some very good rules for those earlv\ Jews. Is one day out of every seven, set apart as a day of rest, unreasonable? Jesus observed the Sabbath but modified some ol' the laws pertaining thereto. He recognized the need of the body to have rest. We are not so astute, we think we can defy divine and health laws with impunity. Not so, there is a breaking down of the body, the mental and spiritual life when we do not observe God’s laws. One woman said she wanted the Blue Law repealed so she could go shopping with her husband on Sunday. I wonder if she tried shopping on Saturday and going to church with him on Sunday? I am not such a stickler for holy days, that is setting apart one day from another as a HOLY day; all days are holy in the sense that' God made them. No one knows when the first day dawned or the proper sequence of days. God gave to the creature man an intellect that had the power to reason. He gave to man certain laws; we call divine, for our guidance. Without those laws we would retrogress into savagery. Maybe the early Christians made’a terrible mistake when they dropped the Jewish Sabbath and substituted Sunday. It should be Son Day, but maybe we would hold more reverence for a day we felt was ordained of God. What is a BLUE Law;*"blue" to whom? T) those who want no restraint? This is supposed to be a Christian nation. W ith that in mind let us retain one day out of seven HOLY UNTO THE LORD % UTatwral Food Market COLOMBO 96 1/2% Fat Free Yogurt The only whole milk yogurt Buy 4 get 1 Free Plain & Flavored 64 Main St. 347-0312 Warrenton
