Volume XXV, Number 52 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA • THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1974 FIFTEEN CENTS Close Seventh District race is seen A CLOSE race, one way or the other, is being predicted in the Seventh Congressional contest which will be decided at the polls next Tuesday, and if the rest of the county’s in the sprawling district are like Rappahannock, then the predictions are accurate. Incumbent Republican Representative J. Kenneth Robinson undoubtedly has a lot of support in Rappahannock. He’s conservative, and so are many county citizens; lie’s an apple grower, and that means something in an applegrowing county; he’s the officeholder, and that has traditionally teen an advantage. He started off, according to some estimates, as a two-to-one favorite in the District as a whole. . But the Democratic challenger, jeorge Gilliam, has been coming in strong, and just how strong ivas indicated by the 250 persons (or more) who turned out for the barbecue given in his honor October 19 at the Amiss - ville Fire Hall. Veteran Democrats spotted some old party stalwarts who had strayed from the fold to vote for Nixon, and, indeed, the crowd contained a broad cross section of Rappahannock County. There were teenagers and octogenarians; there was Gilliam’s former Democratic opponent (Chuck Mottley), and incumbent Rappahannock County office-holders like Supervisor Pete Luke and Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis. There were even a few people from Culpeper and from “over the mountain” at Luray. GILLIAM MADE what is apparently a more or less standard campaign speech for him that hight at Amissville; Robinson has made several visits to the county, but none for a formal, “set” campaign talk. His office has flooded newspapers throughout the District with copies of his remarks made at various functions, however, and one of the curious points to emerge is that for all his conservative Republicanism and Gilliam’s youthful Democratic “image,” the two candidates don’t seem all that far apart on basic issues. Both say they favor economy in government, “belt-tightening” to help fight inflation, reduction of the federal bureaucracy, and similar points. When they’ve differed, it’s been mainly a matter of degree, or along pure Democratversus-Republican lines. Gilliam for instance, has made much of the time-honored “time for a change” approach of all “outs” seeking to be “ins.” The reaction of Gilliam’s audience at Amissville demonstrated some of the problems Robinson must be having throughout the District in a post-Watergate election year that has seen the traditional advantage of the incumbent weakened. Gilliam’s listeners clapped at predictions of victory and made noises of displeasure at references to Watergate shenanigans in Washington, D.C. Gilliam has said polls he has commissioned say the race will be close, but he will not release the figures. One local Democrat said the polls showed Gilliam leading by “a few points.” Gilliam has also pointed to surprisingly large turnouts at rallies in the Valley— a traditional Republican stronghold—as favorable evidence. REPUBLICANS are betting on Robinson getting solid support from the remnants of the old Byrd organizations, according to one report. Robinson won overwhelmingly in 1972 on a ticket with Sen. See Page 9 Conservation awards are presented TWO RAPPAHANNOCK residents were among those who have received awards from the Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District at the annual dinner meeting leld Thursday evening at Graves Lodge, Syria, Conservation awards went to Capt. William Keim and James F. Massie, both of Amissirille. Capt. Keim was cited for wildlife conservation and his certificate of recognition was presented ay Robert P. Anderson while H.S. Barksdale made the award to Mr. Massie. Mr. Barksdale and Mr. \nderson are Rappahannock Directors for the Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District. Others to receive awards were John H. Boldridge of Culpeper Lounty; the Orange County Ecology Llub; Henry D. Aylor of Madison and a special award was given L.W. Kipps who retired as a director after many, many years on die board. MR. AND MRS. James F. Massie awn a 757-acre farm on which they raise beef cattle, horses and hogs, rhey have approximately 120 cows, 8 horses and 8 brood sows. A farm aond has been constructed and about 10,000 feet of tile drainage installed in bottom land at Meadow Grove. The pastures are well fertilized and properly limed to keep them a dark green and the woodland is well managed. He has complied with recommendations of the Virginia Division of Forestry in har vesting timber. In addition to using good conservation methods on his own farm he has been spreading the gospel of conservation throughout the county by serving on the ASCS , County Committees for more than 15 years, and is now Vice Chairman of the Committee. Mr. Massie is a member of the Feeder Calf Association and is a past director of the local wool pool and present director of the Rappahannock County Farm Bureau. He is on the Board of Directors of the Culpeper Farmers Cooperative, president of the Rappahannock Historical Scoiety, on the County Electorial Board and Zoning Board of Appeals. Mrs. Massie is on the Rappa- i hannock School Board and on the local Mental Health Association Board. CAPTAIN William Keim was cited for his extensive wildlife conservation program. He provides large areas of cover and food patches for large and small animals, birds and waterfowl. This habitat management insures propagation of wildlife and is most compatible with his Christmas tree forming operation. The Reims are active in the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection. Mrs. Keim is president of the Rappahannock Garden Club and social secretary of the Rappahannock Hunt. The Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District includes five counties, Rappahannock, Cul peper, Madison, Orange and Greene. Nominations are made from these counties for the awards and a committee screens nominations and makes judgement on the proposed recipients.□ Rappahannock County High School Cross Country Team is composed of, front row, Jerry Grigsby, Jerry Thomas and Bill Taylor; back row, Ronnie Nicholson, Clifton Jenkins, Raymond Groves, Donnell Carter and coach, John Toth. The team has a 5-0 record this season and will host the Skyline District meet here on November 2. The District meet will be held at the track at Blue Rock Farm across from the high school and begins at 10:30 a.m. The State Meet will take place the following Saturday, November 9 at Williamsburg.

LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-2349 Vote Tuesday NEWSPAPERS all around the Seventh District have been coming out with “endorsement” editorials in the past few weeks, but please don’t look for one in this space. Whatever else we may be accused of, let it be noted that publishing pompous, presumptuous pronouncements instructing the voting public on what candidate or another is superior, is not one of our shortcomings. Oh, we’ll admit that the temptation is strong. Along with most people, we’re convinced that we’re right and those who disagree with us are wrong. And the newspaper people who argue that they are qualified to issue “endorsements” because of their superior access to knowledge about the candidates and the issues, have a certain amount of logic on their side. Newspaper offices are deluged with more information about the campaign than they can possibly publish, and for sheer volume, if nothing else, this might add up to a broader understanding of the particular race in question. But, at the same time, it’s our feeling that nothing is more presumptuous than a newspaper advising its readers about a choice involving such things as party preferences and personalities. The voter’s choice is as valid as ours. HAVING said that, it should be emphasized that a voter’s preferences go for naught unless translated into an actual trip to the ballot box, and actually voting. Talking about it won’t do a bit of good, except maybe therapeutically; writing letters-to-the-editor won’t do the job. Voting is the way to help the candidate you prefer, or decide an issue the way you want it decided. So, whatever your preference, go to the polls Tuesday and vote!D “Close-ups” The close-up last week was a row of staples and was recognized by a number of readers, including Mrs. Loretta Clater of Amissville whose name was drawn from the entries. Others to correctly identify the object included Dean Irvine, Ed Veinthal, Eva Smith, Ricky Jenkins, Landra Silvey, Sonny Chase, Kent Reeve, Frank Coffey 111, Charlotte Gaines, Martha Knighting, William H. Mautz III, Mrs. Ethel Bailey, Mrs. Billy Fincham, Mrs. Marie Davis, Richard Fitzek and Lorena Settle. Here is another. Bring or mail replies to the Rappahannock News, Box 38, Washington, Va. 22747. Letters to the editor Gilliam backers thanked cauor: I was in the hospital when we had our barbecue for Mr. George Gilliam on October 19 at Amissville, Va. Everyone worked and did a wonderful job and it was a great success, we having had 300 or more in attendance. I take this opportunity to thank my committee members and the folks who supported our cause. How could you leave out a “write up” in your paper on this event is more than I can see. I heart? this morning that some people aiv reporting that I voted for Richard Nixon in 1968. I am delighted to state that neither my wife nor I ever voted for Nixon, Agnew nor Bill Scott. I hope you can refrain from making a prediction like you did in the Henry Howell election! A. H. Keyser Robinson clarifies his positions Editor’s note—The following letter was written by Congressman J. Kenneth Robinson in response to an article printed in the Piedmont Virginian, the News’s sister publication. It arrived too late, * however, to print in the Virginian; the letter is being printed here so that .Mr. Robinson will at least be given an opportunity to clarify the points mentioned, before election day. Editor: While I thought that the article by Mark Helmke in the “Piedmont Virginian” of October 16, 1974 was substantially fair, I think I should clarify my position in three respects: 1. The article implied that I was against revenue-sharing. As a matter of fact, I was one of the early sponsors of the basic revenue-sharing legislation in 1971. My objection has been to funding of the revenue-sharing program over a span of years without annual review by the Appropriations Committee of Congress. As the sole Virginia member of the House Appropriations Committee, I feel an obligation to regard no appropriation as sacrosanct, and to have the federal budget dealt with on an annual basis. Additionally, I believe that the revenue-sharing program needs refinements to provide even greater discretion at state and local levels with respect to federal money rebated. 2. Mr. Helmke’s article stated, after reporting, correctly, that I have not supported President Ford’s income surtax plan, the following: “Cutting national spending and business incentives, would be better, he said.” A casual reading of the sentence might indicate that I was in favor of cutting both national spending and business incentives.' I certainly am in favor of cutting national spending—this is my principal campaign contention—but I do favor incentives to increase the productivity of American agribusiness and industry in general, in order to satisfy public demand at reasonable prices. 3. Mr. Helmke’s article stated this, in regard to my purported views on utility rates in Virginia: “Even though Vepco is charging higher rates, said Robinson, he supports the type of incentive Vepco received from the State Corporaion Commission to raise the rates another 15%. ” In response to inquiries from the news media and correspondence ' from individual citizens I have undertaken to point out, consistently, that utility rate regulation in Virginia is outside my jurisdiction, and is, in most circumstances, the responsibility of the State Corporation Commission. I have had no opportunity to study the justifications put forward to the Commission in behalf of the v rate increase sought by Vepco, and it has not been my practice to endorse or condemn specific actions of any state regulatory agency. It certainly was not my intention to convey to Mr. Helmke that I support an “incentive” to the extent of a 15% rate increase for Vepco, but I do feel—and sought to indicate this—that incentives of one kind or another must be developed for the domestic energy producers if we are going to pull ourselves loose from the current high degree of bondage to the Arab oil producers. In general, 1 favor tax incentives related directly to expansion of production facilities in the domestic energy field. J. Kenneth Robinson Position explained Editor: Mr. Robinson, our Seventh Dis' trict Congressman, came to the County last week offering himself for re-election. He extended an invitation through your paper for voters to talk to him on the Court House lawn. Your delightful picture of loyal Republicans' covered to the full extent his county sponsors but the local grapevine has interpreted and reinterpreted my remarks. Since this has been the case, I would appreciate an opportunity to "tell it like it was." I spoke to Mr. Robinson and told him that although I had always liked him personally "'that his Congressional voting record was the direct opposite of what 1 expected of .my Congressman and in my opinion could hardly be worse. I went on to say that if he was reelected, I hoped his voting record would improve. He did not inquire as to what I meant but in fairness to him after making such a public statement, I am taking eight small paid ads to discuss this record. We then discussed the impeachment questionaire that he sent to voters during the summer. I objected to his separating male and female opinion as a violation of my civil rights. The crowd was most vocal in disagreeing with me. He objected to my referring to it as the impeachment questionaire and stated that there were other questions. I took issue with this and said that the other questions had been around for a long time and he had not polled his constituents as to their wishes but what issue could approach the magnitude of the question of whether or not the Congress should impeach the President of the United States? The crowd was silent and appeared uncomfortable at the mention of this vital issue. * See Pate IS

V: J-1.S . 0 JU6<* ODER $|#4 Sheep growers to vote on promotion BALLOTS will be mailed to all known wool and lamb producers in Rappahannock county to enable them to vote in a national referendum on a proposed new agreement for the advertising and promotion of wool, according to T.R. Taylor, chairman Rappahannock County Agricultural Stabilization & Conservation Committee (ASC). The mail referendum being held November 4 through 15 will enable producers to vote their approval or disapproval of a new agreement between USDA and the American Sheep Producers Council (ASPC) which provides for the USDA to withhold a part of any wool payments that might be made to producers to finance advertising and sales promotion programs by ASPC for wool and lamb. The withheld funds would also be used by ASPC to develop and disseminate information on product Pedestrians hurt in weekend mishaps THREE pedestrians were injured near Sperryville during the weekend in two separate traffic accidents. One occured Saturday and the other on Sunday. Barbara Ann Brown and Brenda Ann Brown, 4-year-old twin daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Brown of Sperryville, were injured when they were struck by a 1970 Chevrolet convertible driven by Lonnie Atkins of Luray. According to Trooper R. A. Baines, the children apparently stepped into the path of the approaching vehicle on Route 211 west of Sperryville. They were taken to Culpeper Memorial Hospital by Sperryville Rescue Unit with bruises and abrasions and possible broken ribs. Brenda also sustained internal injuries. In the same area Sunday, an 11 year-old boy, Thomas Briscoe of Ryans Road, Md., sustained a broken leg when he was struck by a 73 Buick operated by Clarence Kemp Jr. of Landover, Md. Trooper J.A. Watson reported that Briscoe was attempting to cross the highway in the extremely heavy Sunday afternoon traffic when he was hit. He was taken to Culpeper Memorial Hospital by Sperryville Rescue Squad. No charges were placed against the operator of the vehicle in either incident. E.J. PULLEN of Amissville escaped serious injury early Sunday morning when he lost control of his 1974 Ford on Route 642 near Hack - ley’s Store and struck a tree. Damage to the vehicle was set at a thousand dollars, according to Trooper R.A. Baines, who investigated. □ Thrift shop The Thrift Shop run by the Washington Ladies Auxiliary will be open election day, November 5.

Wool and lamb producers will be mailed an explanatory statement about the proposed new agreement along with the ballot. The new agreement is similar to one approved by producers in 1971. If approval is voted, payment deductions of up to 1-1/2 cents a pound on shorn wool and 7-1/2 cents a hundredweight on unshorn lambs would be made, the same as the maximum deduction rates for the 1966-72 period. Since no wool payments were made for 1973 marketings, thee were no deductions for that year. T.R. TAYLOR, emphasized the neutrality of the U.S. Department of Agriculture on the proposal being submitted to wool and lamb producers. “Our sole interest is in conducting a fair and impartial referendum,” he said. Anyone may vote who has owned sheep 6 months old or older for at least 30 consecutive days during 1973. Votes may be cast by individuals, corporations, or partnership. Any producer who is not already known to the county ASCS office is urged by T.R. Taylor, to come by or call in order to receive a ballot and explanatory material. The Rappahannock ASCS office is located at Washington, Virginia. Any eligible producer may vote in the referendum, without regard to race, color, sex, religion, or national origin.□ New voting law MRS. JOAN MAHAN, secretary of the State Board of Elections, has cited a new requirement under the Constitution and Code of Virginia effective for the first time at the end of this year pertaining to the cancellation of the registration of any voter who has not voted at least once during four consecutive calendar years. Mrs. Mahan said that Section 24. 1-59 of the Code of Virginia requires the general registrars, as of December 31, 1974, and annually thereafter, to purge the name of any voter of the Commonwealth who has not voted at least once during four consecutive calendar vears from the registration books. “If a voter has not voted in at least one election that has been held in his county or city since January 1971 his name will be removed from the registration books on December 31, 1974,” Mrs. Mahan said. “If this occurs, the individual would have to appear in person before the registrar and re-register.” “I urge all the qualified voters in the Commonwealth to vote on November 5,” Mrs. Mahan continued. “The right to vote, as with all other rights, carries with it a responsibility; the responsibility to cast a ballot in every election in which one is entitled to vote.”D THE SHOE PLACE 514 Culpeper Shopping Center Friday & Saturday November 1 and 2 Come in and Register for FREE Door Prizes Drawing for prizes November 2 at 5 p.m. Drawing for prizes November 2 at 5 p.m. Discover our fine line of name brand shoes THE SHOE PLACE Culpeper, Va.

ATTENTION ALL RAPPAHANNOCK VOTERS The Republican incumbent from the Seventh Congressional District, J. Kenneth Robinson, is busy proclaiming on the eve of the election that “we must cut Federal spending until it hurts.” Where has this man been for the last four years? Why hasn’t he been practicing what he is now preaching? In the four years that this incumbent has been in office, Federal spending and the national debt have soared to unprecedented heights. His own voting record discloses that he has been supportive of enormous wasteful expenditures while opposing smaller essential needs of the nation. For instance: 1. Robinson voted IN FAVOR of one BILLION dollars for arms to an aggressive Turkey but voted AGAINST one MILLION for health, education and welfare. 2. Robinson voted for a TEN MILLION dollar appropriation “for cotton promotion and research” but voted AGAINST emergency disaster loans to hard-pressed farmers at one per cent interest. 3. Rohinson deplores wasteful foreign aid but he voted FOR the Russian wheat deal that cost taxpayers 300 MILLION dollars and raised food prices. 4. Robinson voted FOR the expenditure of more than A BILLION dollars in military aid to the repressive police state government of South Vietnam. 5. At a time of energy shortages here Robinson voted FOR the export of oil products for military use in Indochina. DON’T BK MISLEAD BT LAST-MINUTE REPUBLICAN RHETORIC.

Come on out...guarantee you won’t be disappointed! □ Seventh District From Page 1 William Scott and former President Nixon. Appealing to the supporters of Governor Mills Godwin — a former Byrd Democrat turned Republican —the Winchester orchardist has blasted Gilliam for supporting Henry Howell. BOTH GILLIAM and Robinson agree that land use controls should reside with the local jurisdictions with only direction from the state and federal government. However, Gilliam has criticized Robinson for his vote against the National Land Use Act and Robinson’s “zero” rating from the League of Conservation Voters. Robinson supports completion of 1-66 through Fauquier and Warren Counties. Gilliam straddles the issue by saying the highway* can bring prosperity or blight; the citizens should decide, says Gil' liam, adding that the highway project would not have been so controversial if Robinson had been more aware of citizen concerns in the past. Gilliam supports Revenue Sharing. Robinson wants it controlled more closely. Both agreed that the revenue sharing process could be improved by permitting more local participation in the decision mak ing process about how the federal funds are spent. Robinson calls Revenue Sharing “debt sharing.” GILLIAM HAS countered by saying the special market subsidies '■ and “tax loopholes” to big business Robinson has supported should be cut, instead. Gilliam supports an increase in federal income tax deductions and more federal work training programs to ease the effect of the slowing economy and increasing prices. Robinson has said that federal controls on businessman to provide health insurance for workers is inflationary. He also says environmental controls should be “deferred” until more technology is available to clean up air and water pollution without driving business out of operation. ROBINSON is outspending Gilliam by $75,000 to $55,000, according to their own budgets. Robinson is spending much more on television advertising, but denies charges from Gilliam that a last minute “blitz” is planned. Robinson has attacked Gilliam for receiving contributions from labor. Gilliam has attacked Robinson for his receipts from the American Medical Association.□ ■Paid Political Advertisement!

Historic renovations Public funding of private work endorsed AS THE local clearinghouse for federal grants, the RappahannockRapidan Planning District Commission Thursday approved public funding for a number of private historical renovation projects, as well as the usual sewer and “social projects.” ; A few of the Commissioners representing Fauquier, Rappahannock, Culpeper, Orange and Madison Counties objected to the use of up to $87,000 of Virginia Historic Landmarks Commission funds for the commercial renovation of the A.P. Hill Boyhood Home in Culpeper. Culpeper County Planning Commissioner Fred Buswell voted against the grant application to Culpeper-Orange entrepreneur Angus Green. After the meeting, Orange Supervisors Richard Sanford and Elbert Brown said they would have voted against Green’s grant application if it had not been grouped with renovation grants for the Little Fork Church in Jefferston and the Exchange Hotel in Gordons ville. GREEN, who purchased the historic 1820 “Tuscan Villa” building, saving it from being razed for a parking lot by the town two years ago, said the public funding would only constitute one-third of his renovation expenses. The renovated commercial building will also return more funds to the public in taxes than would a parking lot, commented Green. Planning District Commission Executive Director Arthur Warren said the Landmarks Commission has become involved in partially funding private historic restoration work to keep a lot of the buildings from becoming parking lots. Besides the Hill Home, a $750 grant for the preliminary architectural study was approved for the Little Fork Church and $25,000 for the restoration of the Exchange Hotel by Historic Gordonsville, Inc. All the Landmarks Commission grants list the maximum amount of funds available, not the actual amount to be funded. THE PLANNING District Commission also approved $152,400 in federal funds for the Fauquier Community Action Program for job training, and $28,602 to the Fauquier Senior Citizen Transportation Project. Phillip Irwin’s open space easement of 40 aciges, including “Caledonia” near Flint Hill, to the Virginia Outdoors Foundation was also approved. The District Commission also approved an application for federal financial assistance for taxiway construction at the WarrentonFauquier Airport. The Commissioners endorsed a private sewage treatment plant at Eller Farms Subdivision near Culpeper and a joint Madison-0 range - Woodberry Forest sewer plant. Funding for engineering for the Sperryville sewer plant was also approved. All funding approval was based on recommendations by Supervisors in each county. IN OTHER business, the District Planning Commissioners en dorsed a resolution from the Orange Board of Supervisors opposing the de-classification of the Gordonsville Airport in the Virginia Air Transportation System Study. The Board, however, supports the expansion planned for the Orange Airport. The Fauquier Board of Supervisors is still studying a proposed new airport between Middleburg and Upperville, it was stated.D HUNTLY NEWS MRS. BESSIE PARKS Mrs. Gardner Mills and sister, Mrs. Shirley Huff of Washington, Va., were in Charlottesville Monday to visit their sister-in-law, Mrs. Katherine Perry in the Martha Jefferson Hospital.

‘Scenic* State control of designation BY MARK HELMKE SINCE the Army Corps of Engineers dropped the Salem Church Dam plans, state and federal agencies have been maneuvering to gain a “scenic river” designation for the Rappahannock River. The Federal Parks Service wants the Secretary of the Department of the Interior to designate the Rappahannock River a scenic river so that the Parks Service can monitor it, the scenic river specialist for the Virginia Commission of Outdoor Recreation told the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission last Thursday. But Governor Mills Godwin is expected to decide soon, said Outdoor Recreation Specialist John Heerwald, which route should be taken to designate the Rappahannock River as a scenic river. The General Assembly could designate the river “scenic” sothattheOutdoor Recreation Commission would monitor it. Or, the Secretary of the Interior could designate the Rappahannock a scenic river and have the Parks Service monitor it. . _ Heerwald said the Outdoor Recreation Commission will meet early this week to make a recommendation to the Governor on which route should be taken. CONSEQUENTLY, the District Planning Commissioners representing Fauquier, Rappahannock, Culpeper, Orange and Madison counties passed a resolution encouraging Governor Godwin to decide in favor of state control of the potential scenic river. Scenic river status for the Rappahannock River would restrict the construction of dams, create stricter effluent standards, and would empower the designating agency—either the state of the or the federal government—to control land uses along the river. Since the City of Fredericksburg still wants a water supply dam, Governor Godwin has suggested that only “portions” of the Rappahannock (and Rapidan) could be designated “scenic.” Or, if the General Assembly designates all the river, the General Assembly could also permit a dam if requested in the future. THE DISTRICT 9 Planning Commissioners voiced a fear that if the Parks Service monitors the scenic river status of the Rappahannock River, a mile on either side of the river would be condemned for a national park without any reference to local land use plans. Land use controls such as easements and zoning needed to protect the quality of the Rappahannock should reside with the state, not the federal government, agreed the District Commissioners. The Rappahannock River, Rapidan River, Thornton River and Goose Creek were recommended as rivers worthy of scenic river status by the Commission of Outdoor Recreation way back in 1969. Then, when the Army Corps of Engineers announced that the Salem Church Dam was no longer “economically feasible,” both the Corps and Governor Godwin said portions of the Rappahannock should be designated “scenic.” Heerwald told the Commissioners that there are three ways a river can be designated a scenic river. The District Commissioners had been working with the one REAL ESTATE 40 ROLLING ACRES with frontage on State Route 522 just south of Woodville. Mostly wooded with some views off the front of the property. Good, strong stream on rear portion. Certified survey. $46,000 with owner financing. PARTIALLY COMPLETED HOME on over 5 acres near Castleton. The shell has been completed and some wiring and sheet rock work has been done inside. Now is a good time to buy the materials to finish this home. Certified survey, state road frontage and financing available. $24,500 APPROXIMATELY 4 1/2 ACRES with frontage on Route 522 south of Woodville. Entirely wooded with fast growing pines; strong spring ideal for water supply. $8500 with owner financing. OVER 81 ACRES just west of Sperryville. Tremendous views from high elevation and 3 streams flowing on lower portions. Approximately 30% open with the balance in valuable timber. Access off Route 211. $70,000 with owner financing. OVER 12 ACRES fronting with more than 900 feet on Route 211 at Washington. Ideal for building or for recreational and investment purposes. Large pond, mountain views and over 350 feet on the Rush River. $32,200 with $18,500 assumable for 19 years at 7%. 5 ACRES with state road frontage and 2 streams surround this 8 J room home near Banco. Home includes aluminum siding, metal roof, j well and pump. Two out bldgs, behind the home and nice pond site i in front. Mountain views and survey. $26,000 with some terms available. VIRGINIA 987*8640 alternative, where the Commission of Outdoor Recreation makes a study of the river and thentne river is designated a scenic river by the General Assembly. The federal government can also* decide to do its own study, explained Heerwald. Then the Secretary of the Interior designates the river, asking the state to monitor it. The Secretary of the Interior can also designate the river a scenic river himself, ordering a federal agency like the Parks Service to monitor it. The Parks Service is very interested in this alternative, commented Heerwald. But apparently the Secretary of the Interior has asked Godwin how he would like to have the Rappahannock designated and monitored. The decision should be made soon, said Heerwald. WHILE THE Commission of Outdoor Recreation would rather have the state control the Rappahannock River, Heerwald thought the best route for scenic river designation of the other rivers would be through the federal government. „ “It’s a question of logistics, commented Heerwald. The Commission of Outdoor Recreation does not have the staff to study all the rivers. Heerwald even doubted that the state has the “expertise” to study the 60 miles Of the Rappahannock and the land use controls in the six counties which the river flows through. Heerwald called the study, designation, and monitoring of the Rappahannock River an “awesome undertaking.” NEVERTHELESS, The District Commissioners voted in support of state control for the Rappahannock but they made no decision on who should designate the other potential scenic rivers in the district. ; _ Heerwald told the District Commissioners that none of the 29 potential state rivers listed in the Virginia Scenic Rivers System, and the federal Wild and Scenic River System, have been designated. Four rivers have been studied, he explained, but public support was not sufficient for actual designation.

Robinson supported Editor: As a “senior” citizen I find it easy to accept the fact that inflation is our and the world’s greatest problem. Economists find it hard to agree on the cause or the cure but I believe there is little disagreement that there are two major causes in the USA (a) deficit governmental financing and (b) the exhorbitant increase in the price of crude petroleum. We can do something only about (a). No one can deny that the control of inflation is difficult for it is world-wide. There is some consolation in the fact that the rate of inflation in the USA is among the lowest if not the lowest. What can we learn about deficit financing? Since about 1930, I’ve seen the federal budget increase from about four million to more than 300 million dollars. In those approximately 44 years our Congress has been under the conPOSITION EXPLAINED From Page 2 I then said goodbye and left. I have been criticized for telling the Congressman who represents my district how I feel. We have Congressional elections every two years to enable the candidate to listen to “all” the people he hopes to represent not just the “inner circle.” On the other hand, I was made to feel that this was ar. exclusive “in” social gathering at the Court House that had no place for the opinions of “local yokels.” Thank you for this opportunity to present my position in the local forum. Dorothy C. Davis trol of the Democratic party for 40 years. Today the Democratic control is approximately 60 to 40. Every committee of the Congress is “chaired” by and under the control of the Democratic party and since all proposed legislation is assigned to a committee, the Democratic party is free to initiate, vote out of Committee and pass any legislation it desires. It is equally free to “bury” any legislation initiated by the Republicans and it often does. If the Democratic party has any constructive proposals for the control of inflation, why hasn’t it passed legislation encompassing such proposals for presidential approval or veto? The answer is easy, for destructive criticism is easy and constructive action is difficult. I have studied Kenneth Robinson’s Congressional record and I’ve found it one of fiscal restraint consistent with necessary personal fiscal restraint on the part of all of us, namely, a wise evaluation of priorities. I’m not impressed with the Democratic record of fiscal irresponsibility and I’m not impressed with Mr. Robinson’s opponent’s protestations of fiscal responsibility when | he has publically admitted he supported Mr. McGovern for President and Mr. Howell for Governor. I do not consider it fair for my generation to live beyond its means and leave the debts to be paid by our children, their children and their children’s children. Do you? For the foregoing and many other Robinson record rapped Editor: May I reply to Mr. Lyne’s letter? I disagree with him in believing WE are fortunate in having Mr. Kenneth Robinson as a Congressman. Why? His voting record speaks for itself. The Fauquier Democrat last week pointed out typical examples of this record. For instance in cutting federal spending, he voted AGAINST health, education and welfare—the areas which affect all people including the elderly poor who in some places are having to eat canned cat and dog food. The amount of this federal spending is merely a drop in the bucket compared to the huge hand-out he voted FOR to send armaments to Turkey... The editorial further states that during the energy crisis when fuel was scarce and soaring in prices, he voted to export petroleum products for military use in Indo China.
