U. STATE LIBRARY Dollars and schools Rappahannock wants new ‘quality’ standard RAPPAHANNOCK County’s Supervisors agree with their counterparts in Campbell County, that dollars spent do not equal quality education, and “the dollar standard should be replaced with performance standards to encourage localities to meet those standards with maximum efficiency...” They passed a resolution to that effect at their meeting last Thursday. Ned Jones, clerk of the Board, says he understands 70 per cent of the counties in Virginia have adopted the same resolution. Rappahannock’s Supervisors apparently saw in the resolution a way to express their frustration with state, educational directives; they’ve grumbled about such things before, especially compulsory kindergarten plans. Chairman Pete Luke said right off that he liked the idea expressed by the Campbell County Board, and so did H.B. Wood. Luke went on to note that while Rappahannock had been pressured to add certain educational programs, county students had consistently scored well on achievement tests. A vote to adopt the so-called “Campbell County resolution” was unanimous. O.A. Norton, superintendent of the joint Rappahannock-Warren school system, sat silently while the resolution was discussed and adopted. But when he came forward later to speak on another subject, he indicated that he didn’t fully agree with the action thathad been taken. Norton was quieter about it than some educators have been elsewhere, but he made his point, nevertheless. IF COUNTIES are judged on a qualitative standard rather than a dollar standard, Norton suggested, “then the state’s share of school budgets should be determined on the same basis.” Norton also noted that Southern Accreditation standards include monetary guidelines for such things as professors’ salaries. So “dollar guides” are used widely, he said. Libraries are another instance, where certain basic materials are required. Pete Luke said he understood those points, but that when teachers had come before the Supervisors to ask for salary increases, he’d gotten a distasteful impression. “The general feeling was that if we’d give them more money, they’d give us better teaching. I can understand a man asking for more money because his family needs it, because of inflation, but I can’t understand the other attitude.” “I agree that more dollars don’t make a child read better, but there are many things involved,” insisted Norton, still keeping his voice low. H.B. Wood sputtered something about “fancy buildings.” NORTON continued to say that while Rappahannock didn’t have the problem, “some South side Virginia counties always have to be measured in relation to the persons they’re dealing with.” He elaborated: “In more affluent communities, where maybe nine-tenths of the parents are college-educated, you’ll find that those children do better in school. By the same token, you’ll find that other counties’ reading scores go hand-in-hand with the abilities of the children. And there’s also the fact that we find that communities that spend more, which do have higher per pupil costs, do better on the test scores.” He gave Arlington and Alexandria as examples. “You must remember that the high-costs in those areas also relate to the high costs jper pupil figures,” said Pete Luke. “Implementation of this (Campbell County resolution) will be hard to work out,” said Norton. “I think the new formula for evaluatSee Page 3 ‘Price list’ for dog fund proposed THE SUPERVISORS put a slightly different twist last Thursday to their handling of the almostmonthly problem of paying for livestock killed by dogs. At Supervisor Herbert Foster’s urging, it was decided to study the possibility of paying for all claims on the basis of the going market rate, rather than for the assessed value of the animal killed. The question came up when deciding how to compensate Tom Lee for one sheep killed the first part of .October. Dog Warden Jack Bruce attested that the kill was “definitely dogs, ’ ’ and there was no question about that, but there was a question of how much toj>ay. Bruce went downstairs to the tax records and ascertained that Lee’s sheep had been assessed at $35, but Foster had some questions of his own. “I doubt if one of these things would bring $5,’’ he said, “Sheep are a bad risk anyway. Maybe we should set a minimum of $20— I mean, not go over that figure, unless the sheep was pure bred or something like that. That thing might not bring but three or four dollars on the market.’’ “The county’s not paying it; the dog fund’s paying it,” commented Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis. “Well, I think we should .set a top figure of $20 for the assessment or something like that and let the people know that’s all we’ll pay,” said Foster. “Then you might be in conflict with state law,” said Davis. H. B. WOOD, however, thought Foster had a good idea. “What if someone came in with a claim for a horse assessed at $2,000 or $3,000 ? I think we ought to set a flat fee.” “You can put a limit on the payment, but not on the assessment,” said Davis. Chairman Pete Luke asked Wood and Foster to work up “a suggested price list” for presentation at next month’s meeting. Bruce had been questioned earlier about details involved in the Lee sheep case. Bruce said Mrs. Juanita Miko’s dogs had been seen “barking at the sheep, and someone saw one dog fooling around,” but that no one had actually seen the kill. All of the Supervisors laughed at the identification of the dogs’ owner; Mrs. Miko had been before the board previously with claims on the dog fund of her own. ANOTHER claim approved was for a “a 100-pound lamb” that belonged to Randall Updike. Again, the dog warden attested that the animal had certainly been killed by dogs. Some other sheep “torn up in the attack had survived,” so the claim was only for one sheep. There was some preliminary discussion at this point about how much should be paid for a slain sheep. Davis said it was his understanding the compensation was #based on the market value per pound. Every one killed weighs 100 poupds,” grinned Herbert Foster. “If it had been laying there a day, it would have swelled up and looked bigger than it was.” Foster went on to comment on Davis’s comments about paying the going market rate. ‘‘The market price ranges from 32 cents to 34 for reds, on up to 37 cents,” said Foster. ‘‘Not everyone that gets killed is a blue. And those prices are the Baltimore market.” Panther runners chamns asrain! RAPPAHANNOCK Panthers took the Class A State Cross Country Crown in competition Saturday at Williamsburg, making this the fourth consecutive year in which the title hag been captured by Rappahannock County High School. The Panther’s score was 24. They hacked two points off of the previous year’s score. A perfect score is 15. Jerry Thomas was the number one man for the Panthers with Bill Taylor placing second and Ronnie Nicholson was in third place on the team. Two individual runners outdistanced Rappahannock’s first man, but these were not team members. Others in the running for Rappahannock were Raymond Groves, Cliftolr Jenkins, Donnell Carter and Bill Dawson. The course this time proved even more of a challenge since the distance had been increased from 2.4 miles.to 3 miles. Fort Defiance placed second with 42 points and Riverheads was third with 86. Individual runners were Charles Ackerbom, with a time of 15.50, which was a record for the new course, and Danny Johnson of Buffalo Gap was second. RAPPAHANNOCK has only had a cross country team for the past four years and have been state champions in Class A each of these years. John Toth is the Panther’s Cross Country coach, and declares he’ll be there next year with the boys to attempt a fifth win.D

LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington €75-3349 Keeping informed “BACKROOM POLITICS” is the name of a new book which is receiving nationwide attention, and one of its “horrible examples” is a nearby situation— the eagerness of the Prince William Board of Supervisors to have theMarriott Corporation plunk down a plastic “Great America” amusement park next to Manassas National Battlefield, even though the site lacks highway access and sewer service, has cloudy zoning, and despite a law suit by citizens claiming their due process rights have been violated. The point is made in the Marriott example and throughout “Backroom Politics” that outright skullduggery is not necessarily involved. The authors emphasize that their point is to show how conducting public business in “backrooms” is a corruption of how the American system is supposed to work. After all, the public elects publie officials to conduct their public business. It only follows that it should be done in public. It may follow logically, but it doesn’t always follow in practice. For example, a State Senator advised some area citizens - at a meeting Monday night that if they want to keep up with their State Legislature, the first step is to keep informed. While we agree that this is indeed important, it’s often easier said , than done. . WE’RE IN THE business of keeping informed, and we must . admit that we aren’t always successful. Why? Well, we aren’t all that lazy. News and Virginian reporters cover more public meetings, first-hand, , than any media in this immediate area. That’s a flat statement which we’ll be glad to substantiate if there are any challengers—we know, we cover * more meetings because there ;. are seldom any. other report-., ers at all of the Sessions we attend of boards, commissions, authorities, study groups, zoning boards, regional commissions, town councils, supervisors, &c., &c. Many of the reports of these same meetings carried in other newspapers are actually secondhand—they’ll call up some public official later, and get what is sometimes a self-serving version of what happened. Sometimes, they are given actually erroneous verions of what happened. So why can’t we keep informed, if we’re so all-fired eagerbeaver about keeping up with local government? Oh, there are a number of neat little tactics we have to deal with. People “forget” to tell us about special called meetings. They “overlook” someone on their mailing or calling list. Meetings are held and there’s nothing “secret” about them, you understand; it’s just that noorife knew there was a meeting, so how could anyone attend. “Study groups” manage to read some obscure phrase in the admittedly porous Virginia Freedom of Information Act, so as to justify the meeting “in executive session.” An elected body will vote, for a valid reason, to go into a private session, and then talk about everything else while the doors are shut—and the public shut out. THERE ARE any number of cute little tricks, and yes, they all add up to “backroom politics.” Maybe nothing actually shady is involved, as we said, but it amounts nevertheless to a corruption of the public process. We aren’t going to give up. But we’re also going to have to admit that as long as there are public officials who don’t give a rap about whether the public knows what they’re doing with public policies and public funds, it’s going to be hard.D.

<§51 $5 sanitary inspection fee adopted WITHOUT addressing the more controversial question of hiring a full-time county building inspector—that was put off until next month’s meeting—the Board of Supervisors last week approved levying a flat $5 fee for each sanitary system inspection conducted in Rappahannock County. Chairman Pete Luke brought up the subject after District Health Officer Dr. R.S. LeGarde had appeared to hand the county a $1,070 check from the state, representing the county’s share of fees collected, “I think this shows we live close to the foot of the cross in keeping costs down,” said Dr. LeGarde, a man who enjoys a flowery phrase. Dr. LeGarde also thought the subject of fees to help support the sanitarian serving the county was a good idea. If the county didn’t want to do it, he said, the Health Department could charge the fee and remit 20 percent of funds collected to the county. “We’re the only county I know of that provides sanitary inspections at taxpayers’ expense—at no fee,” said Pete Luke. “I don’t think that’s very good. In fact, GARDEN CLUB The Rappahannock County Garden Club will hold its November meeting at the home of Mrs. Ian Pryde, Blue Rock Farm, Washington, Wednesday, November 20, at 2 p.m. Mrs. Richard F. Tuma will entertain with Mrs. Pryde as co-hostess.□ BIRTHDAY PARTY John Brown, son of Mr. and Mrs. Strother Brown of Jackson Heights, N.Y., celebrated his 4th birthday Sunday at the home of his grandmother, Mrs. Catherine Brown in Sperryville. Guests were his brother, Tom Brown and Sheri Rob and Mark Brown, Tony Wayland, Beverly Brown, Nancy Proctor, Sandra Wayland, Julian Brown. They were joined by Mr. and Mrs. Edward Payne of Fairfax, Dr. and Mrs. Larry Kushner of Gaithersburg, Md. and Mrs. Mary Kushner of Flushing, N.Y.Q I’m damn well against it. People can afford to pay a reasonable fee to pay for the cost of the sanitarian.” LUKE NOTED that county dog owners pay fees which pay the dog warden and dog claims, and Jie thought a fee to pay for Sanitarian Jack Lockhart was equally reasonable. Fanning Baumgardner of the County Zoning Administrator’s office, also thought charging for sanitary inspections was needed. But Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis wondered whether enabling legislation specifically allows , sanitary inspection charges. Luke Was sure it is permis sable. After some more discussion, Supervisor J.R. Latham moved that a flat $5 fee for septic system and sanitary inspections be charged, effective January 1,1975. THE SUPERVISORS disposed of another old problem by accepting the deed to the right of way for what was called the New Mount Marshall Road to the Park. Access to Shenandoah Park on the old Mount Marshall fire road had been clouded when land in the area was subdivided, and part of the old-right-of-way blocked. Baumgardner reported that all the owners have now agreed to the new route and that necessary bulldozer work clearing the new route has already been donated by a firm known as Manassas Investors. The deed was formally accepted by the Board. □ Rappahannock ‘quality’ standard From Page 1 ing school systems, that includes a range of standards, has done much to meet past objections already...In our case, we may actually have to send some money back to the state because we have operated so economically.” THE LETTER sent to the Rappahannock Supervisors, and the resolution, follow: “Campbell County asks your consideration in support of the position indicated in the enclosed resolution requesting that the standards of quality criteria by the State Constitution be achieved by qualitative and quantitative standards rather than by monetary standards. “The Campbell County Board of Supervisors and county residents are not in opposition to quality education. In fact, they have historically supported quality education even prior to it being included in the Constitution. We do not, however, feel that the dollar criteria was either the standard intended by the Constitution nor has it been successful. We would offer the Virginia position in meeting National Test Standards in the past several years as being the reversal of the increased money per pupil which is being committed to schools. Thus we consider the dollar has proyen to be a poor standard. We feel that the State Department of Education with legislative approval should arrive at standards which would have a qualitative and quantitative basis such as or similar to the standards required to meet the certification by the Southern Association of Schools and Colleges and other national certifying standards that we would substitute for the dollar standard. “The Campbell County Board of Supervisors is forwarding this position to the Virginia Association of Counties asking that it be made a part of their legislative program and is also asking its local legislators to support such a position. We would ask you to consider a resolution and consider taking similar action with the Association and your legislators. We feel that by being a united front the objectives of this resolution can be achieved. “We would appreciate a copy of any resolution or letter action you take. Thank you in advance for your consideration, and hopeful of your support in this matter “Whereas, the cost of implementing the Standards of Quality and Objectives for Virginia Public Schools is of necessity a costly burden for localities in the State of Virginia; “Now, therefore, be it resolved that the Board of Supervisors of the County of Campbell is in disagreement with the current principle that dollars spent equal quality education, and the dollar standard should be replaced with performance standards to encourage localities to meet those standards with maximum efficiency; and “Be it further resolved that the Virginia Association of Counties include in its legislative recommendations opposition to the current philosophy of financing education in Virginia.”□ ASC nominees NOMINEES for the upcoming ASC committee election have been named, said T.R.

Odd apples grown by Foster Brothers Orchards, Flint Hill include malformed fruit which grew in the fork of a limb, right and left; a small apple growing in the top of an average apple, and an apple with leaves growing right out of the peel, left and right, respectively. Herbert Foster, who has been an orchardist for many years, said he had never seen leaves growing from the fruit skin before. School sewer plant under new rules UNDER newly revised operating rules, it's doubtful that the small sewage treatment plant serving Rappahannock Elementary School could have been built, Superintendent A.O. Norton told the Board of Supervisors at their November meeting last Thursday. As it is, meeting requirements to qualify for the updated operating permit are causing some difficulties, said Norton. New operating and testing requirements are simply more than the school system is equipped to handle. But Norton thinks it may be possible to work either with “another agency,” or with private industry, to get needed testing, etc., done economically. A “flow meter” will also have to be installed, in addition to-tests for solids, biological oxygen demand levels (BOD), and other aspects of sewage treatment, said Norton. NORTON said he’d contacted the Aileen plant at Flint Hill, which also has a small treatment plant, but their “policy” prevented con ducting tests for the schools, too. He’d also talked to public and private testing sources in Culpeper and Front Royal, and he was confident that it will be possible to work out some sort of “cooperative” arrangement. “It would be difficult now to build what we have without putting in a lot of extras and hiring a graduate engineer to run the thing,” Norton concluded.□ BIRTH ANNOUNCED Mr. and Mrs. Jimmy Dodson of Sperryville announce the arrival of a daughter, Sandra Kay, November 9, 1974 at Culpeper Memorial Hospital.

Assistant registrar’s job AN APPROPRIATION sufficient to pay an assistant registrar for a half-day’s work each week was approved at the November meeting of the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors. At their previous meeting, the Supervisors had approved appointment of an assistant, to serve a total of six days a year. Jack Carney, chairman of the Electoral Board, and James Massie, secretary, appeared before the Supervisors last Thursday to argue that the previous action didn’t provide for enough. Carney said an assistant is not only needed, but that he understands that the next session of the General Assembly will make such a position mandatory on the part of all counties. The process has become so complicated, since being computerized, said Carney, that it is also imperative that someone know the procedures involved other than the full-time registrar, Mary Cleverley. He thought that the registrar should keep office hours one day a week, and that the assistant should be there at least half that time, in order to become fully conversant with the work involved in new procedures. “If Mrs. Cleverley gets ill, we’d be in a real bind,” said Carney, adding that the county had to always plan for the worst possible contingencies. CHAIRMAN Pete Luke said he had thought that “just some simple record-keeping.” was involved, but he agreed that the computer system had complicated things. Said Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis: “I thought the computer system was going to make it possible to eliminate personnel. This doesn’t make sense.” Luke disagreed. “You’ve got to have the cards and things done right. Otherwise, you run into the first law of computers—Trash in, trash out.” Davis wasn’t convinced. “We’ve only got 5,000 people in the county and about 2,500 voters. I don’t see why one person can’t handle it, with a substitute available in the case of illness or disability.” “It has nothing to do with personnel,” said Jack Carney. “It’s a question of accommodating the system.” Davis still grumbled. Carney also noted that adding the assistant wouldn’t actually cost the county. Now, the county is paying $1,806 a year for the registrar. Now, the state is going to reimburse this cost fully. The county’s- cost for an assistant would be less than half of this figure, he said. “WE PAY for it whether it comes for the county or from Richmond,” commented H. B. Wood. Clarence Baldwin agreed with Luke, however, on the importance of “doing things right.” A mixup in voting records is the quickest way to upset a taxpayer, he said. “If you really want to make somebody mad in a hurry, tell him he can’t vote, and send him chasing around to other places that tell him the same thing.” “You could have these same problems with 20 people sitting in that office,” said Wood. Commented Jim Massie: “They don’t want people living in Front Royal or D.C. voting in Rappahannock, and that’s why they set up the system/’ “IS THIS compulsory?” asked Hervert Foster. “Yes, in away,” said Carney, “as of the next General Assembly.” Finally, after some more discussion, H. B. Wood moved, with some misgivings, that the assistant registrar be authorized for a halfday’s work each week at a salary to equal 70 per cent of the registrar’s. This will figure out to $632 a year, said Herbert Foster, who insisted that the motion to approve include the words, “as suggested by the state.” The final vote was unanimous.□ OBITUARIES Mrs. Weakley A funeral service for Mrs. Bertha Frances Weakley of Culpeper was held Friday at the Geest Funeral Home Chapel in Culpeper conducted by the Rev.

Scenic river study backed-barely RAPPAHANNOCK’S Supervisors endorsed last Thursday a “scenic river” study for portions of the Thornton and Rappahannock Stivers in the county, but unenthusiastically. First, a motion not to have the study at all had to be voted down by a 3-2 vote, and the vote to ask the State Outdoor Recreation Commission do the study only passed by the same margin. Chairman Pete Luke said the Commission has asked the proper county officials to endorse studies of the Rappahannock, Rapidan and Thornton Rivers, and Goose Creek, which runs through Fauquier and Loudoun Counties. He said they wanted an action from the Supervisors saying there was no objection to conducting the study, which would be merely to “identify” scenic qualities. In answer to questions raised by Herbert Foster and H.B. Wood, Luke said he was assured the state “is not trying to override anyone, but tax assessment can be lower if easements are granted by land Fish and Game Club holds a meeting The Rappahannock Fish and Game Club met November 4, with 18 members signing up for the Big Game Contest this season. Anyone else wishing to enter the contest may contact Charles Foster of Flint Hill, who is club secretary. Other business conducted at the meeting included passage of a motion to pay for the materials used in teaching the Hunter Safety Course at the local high school. This is taugfrt by the county Game Warden, Irviri L. Kenyon. The next meeting of this group will be held after the conclusion of the deer season when the contest trophy will be awarded. □ SUBSCRIBERS Recent new and renewing subscribers to the Rappahannock News which are gratefully acknowledged include R.L.

Armentrout. owners in designated scenic areas.” They’d have to also place “easements” on their property, giving up certain development rights, Luke added. In addition to Rappahannock, counties asked about agreeing to scenic river studies are Fauquier, Culpeper, Madison and Orange. Fauquier has already asked for a study of the Rappahannock. “It won’t hurt us; it’s a good project,” Luke thought. “COULD THEY go ahead even if a landowner didn’t want them to do it?” asked Foster. Pete said he didn’t think so; Foster wasn’t sure. “When you give them a little bit of rope...the first thing you know the landowner won’t have anything to say about it,” Foster warned. “What if you owned some property in the middle of properties that had been studied and easements given? They could force you to do it, too.” Pete Luke thought there was sufficient “local review process” allowed to prevent anyone being forced into anything. ROGER BATCHELDER, who was present as an observer for the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection, said the RLEP “would like to see the study get started; it’s a step in the right direction.” Nevertheless, H.B. Wood moved that “we don’t request a study.” Foster seconded the motion, but they were the only ones to vote for it. A motion proposing that the study be requested was then made by J.R. Latham, and this one passed, 3-2. Among .money matters to come before the Board at its meeting last Thursday was approval of paying $3,100 to the Canton Construction Company of Amissville, for covering over the old, abandoned county dump.D With inflation seemingly a way of life in this country, it s hard to believe there are still a few good bargains around. We know of one for sure, and you should know about it, too. It's the Wickes OFF-PEAK wide span—today’s biggest bargain in a machinery storage building. A full-size, full-height, clear span building (up to 61 wide x any length), plus a fulllength, off-peak side bay that increases storage area up to 50% yet costs only half as much per square foot. There aren’t many things you can get at half price anymore. Certainly not farm machinery and equipment. But it may help to know you can still buy an attractive, weathertight building to keep those investments well protected. For about 50% less. And that’s a real bargain.

PANTHER TALES m Cindy Cumins The sweet taste of victory— there’s nothing like it as our Cross Country Panthers well know, after their victory this past Saturday at the State Cross Country Meet in Williamsburg where they once again earned the title of Single A State Cross Country Champions for the fourth time in a row. Our runners placed as follows: Jerry Thomas, third; Bill Taylor, fourth; Ronnie Nicholson, fifth; Raymond Groves, ninth; Clifton Jenkins, eleventh; Donnell Carter 13th, and Billy Dawson 17th. What a great way to end up a terrific season! All during the race our runners were! cheered on by a large group of Rappahannock fans who went to support their team Saturday and you couldn’t have found a happier group when the results were finally announced and the trophies given out. I know the support was really appreciated by the team. Now there’s only one problem and that is trying to find enough space in our school trophy case to fit in one more Cross Country trophy. I’m sure that’s one space shortage at R.C.H.S. that will be very much apprecia-. ted! Congratulations Panthers, you’re still no. 1. Two of our R.C.H.S. students have been accepted by colleges this week. Larry Smoot was accepted by Davis and Elkins and Clinch Valley colleges and Betty Fincham was accepted by Lord Fairfax Community College.

VEA opposes THE VIRGINIA Education Association has voiced strong opposition to the censorship of any “carefully selected curriculum materials,” and any attempt to evaluate school divisions and/or teachers on the basis of student test score. The delegate assembly adopted the findings of several task forces, among them one which recommended the elimination of sex-role stereotyping and sex bias in curriculum materials and textbooks used in Virginia schools. The assembly also urged an equitable salary schedule for all coaches, male and female. The VEA convention held recently in Roanoke drew some 2.000 delegates and an additional 5.000 teachers attended more than 70 training meetings led by state and national authorities and visited the 150 education related exhibits in Roanoke’s civic center. Three Rappahannock teachers— Mrs. Lynne Baines, Richard Helmer and L.M. Carter, assistant principal at the local elementary school—attended the convention which was held October 31 and November 1. Mrs. Baines and Mrs. Helmer were delegates to the VEA’s policy-making body, the Delegate Assembly, from the Rappahannock Education Association.

Another legislative priority was to have retirement at age 55, or 30 years of service. For the second year in succession, delegates refused to endorse the NEA Bill of Teacher Rights which includes a section expressing the position that individual teachers have the right “to withdraw services collectively when reasonable procedures to resolve impasse have been exhausted.” Some 300 resolutions in the VEA program of action were approved; a $1.9 million dollar budget for the next fiscal year, was adopted; elimination of poli■ cies which prevent husbands and wives from teaching in the same school was urged, for closer ties between education associations, parent teacher groups and students was endorsed. □ Student honored Miss Donna Jean, Glick of Port Republic has been named to “Who’s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges.” She attends the University of North Carolina in Asheville, where she is a senior drama-literature major.

Advisory service available on timber APPARENTLY because timber is not a principal source of income, many people do not pay much attention to the marketing of their timber once it is ready to sell, nor to the management of their woodlands while the trees are growing. In selling timber, too many owners will take the first or second deal offered them. One result is that many landowners do not receive nearly the price for the timber that they could or the cutter is allowed to cut or leave what he wants leaving the woodland in such a mess it will take many decades for the forest to recover. Professor S. Todd Lowry of Washington and Lee University had his economics class interview 114 landowners in Rockbridge County who had made timber sales. The interview data pointed out a general factor that landowners approached timber sales with a high degree of ignorance of the market value of timber, the amount of timber they had and the type or quality of their timber. It has been customary in this area to sell timber on a percent basis—usually 50-50—or so much a thousand board foot. A timber . owner has little control over this type of sale. It is left up to the cutter which trees are to be cut. . Some owners may say, “I sold my timber on a 16 inch diameter limit,’ but, how many owners ever check the cutters activities? And maybe some of the trees over 16 inches should be left while others under 16 inches should be cut. And is the timber owner sure he got paid for all of the logs? How is the owner sure the cutter is taking all of the logs in the tree? What about that extra eight foot log in the tree top that was left or that log that was left in the woods because it was too hard to get out? If the cutter leaves a few logs, he has not lost much but the landowner ends up with logs rotting in his woods and no money to show for them. If the cutter has bought the timber before the cutting has started, the landowner has his money; if whether it be pulpwood, sawtimber or veneer may make the difference between receiving $500 or $5,000 for the same tract. Many shrewd businessmen are lost when it comes to selling timber simply the cutter chooses to leave a few logs, it’s his loss, not the landowners. Many landowners do-not ^view their timber as a profitable crop. When they permit their trees to be cut they are often willing to accept less—as long as it is “something”—than they could receive by following set timber selling procedures. THE first step in selling timber is to know' what and how much you have for sale; if you do not know, a forester should be consulted for this information. Second, you need to know the different buyers that might be interested in your particular type of timber; each of these buyers should be contacted. . HAMPTON DISTRICT $ VOTERS sThank you for your great vote of confidence on November 5, 1974. Clarence Baldwin It is not uncommon for sawmills to buy timber a 100 or more miles from their place of business. Most landowners do not know all of the potential timber buyers that might be interested in their timber. Your local County Forester should be consulted for the names of these buyers. Third, once a timber owner knows what he is selling and how much, it is usually best to put the timber up for bids. Selling timber on a bid basis is usually the most efficient way of arriving at the highest fair market price. It is &fficult to keep up with the selling price of timber due to the fluctuation of the market for the various Kinds ana quality of timber. Because the market fluctuates substantially over brief periods of time, there is no systematic price reporting system for timber such as there is for livestock. THIS IS why bids are very useful. The survey conducted by Professor Lowry’s class pointed out that it is not unusual for landowners, especially with small tracts, to be under paid considerably when they neglect to seek bids or to keep up with the general sales trend in the timber market. On occassion, the owners have received less than one-fourth of the actual worth of the timber. Information on market conditions and on the quality of the timber because they do not know what they have to sell or its value. The economics class survey noted that the Virginia Division of Forestry is extremely useful in managing timber while the trees are growing and in giving the landowners valuable information as to how best to sell their timber. THE VIRGINIA Division of Forestry,which is represented in Greene, Madison and Rappahannock County by Forester Evan L. Sharp, will advise owners as to which trees are ready to be sold and which trees should be left to gr-ow. If the forest has not reached its maturity, the Virginia Division of Forestry can mark which trees should be cut and estimate their board foot volume for a charge of 75C per thousand feet. If all trees are to be cut, the Virginia Division of Forestry will not appraise timber or give the volume estimate but Forester Sharp had the names of private consulting foresters that will cruise and appraise the value of timber; many local landowners have taken advantage of services of the consulting foresters. The information the consulting forester gives the landowner will tell the timber owner how much and what type of timber he has; the consulting forester can also appraise the timber’s value. Many timber buyers are much more willing to submit bids on timber that has been cruised and estimated by a professional forester, because the buyer does not have to spend as much time going over the timber. The Division of Forestry will have special suggestions for a timber sales contract; Forester Sharp will be able to supply the landowner with the names of reputable timber buyers that might be interested in the timber. FORESTER Sharp will, at no charge, examine any woodland no matter how small or large; the information obtained through this examination gives the landowner valuable guide lines as to what he can expect from his timber land. Timber is among the simplest crops to manage requiring no day to day attention; it is the “only” renewable resource. Through proper forest management, the time required to grow a tree to maturity can be cut in half. If the forest is cut improperly, it requires many years to develop saw - timber size trees. Anyone interested in receiving information on selling timber should contact Forester Evan L. Sharp. Forester Sharp can be reached at his office on Fridays or at his home in the evening, telephone number 703-923-4587.□ Rappahannock Forest Warden Clifton Jenkins measures a tree which has been marked for harvesting. A chest-high yellow mark tells which trees are to be cut and another yellow mark at the base of the tree, assures the owner the proper trees have been harvested. The wardens cruise the timber and indicate which trees are mature and which should be felled.

Dr. R.S. LeGarde, Regional Health Officer, brought the question up at last Thursday's meeting of the Board of Supervisors by reporting that the building’s present owner, William Carrigan, had mentioned some rental proposals. Chairman Pete Luke agreed that the possibilities ought to be looked into, but he wanted a "feasibility study" to include consolidating as many county and public offices as possible, utilizing at first the "eight big rooms in the old, front part of the school." "Maybe we could consolidate the welfare offices and everything else and save money,” said Luke. Commonwealth's Attorney George Davis agreed that the prospects were worth looking into. DR. LEGARDE reminded the Supervisors that any capital out lays by the bounty in behalf of his department would be amortized by the department over a 20 year period, “plus us paying so much a square foot each year for maintenance/ ’ Luke said that another suggestion that had been made for county office space involved “Bob Bridges’s store”—-the old grocery store space across from the court house-4>ut “that has a sewer problem; the septic system just doesn’t work at all and there’s nowhere to expand. ” Added Pete Luke: “The condition of the store is why some people in town are looking in the possibilities of a sewer system.” The office space feasibility study is to be reported on at next month’s meeting of the Supervisors. The old school was gutted of petitions and other, interior fixtures in the course of a recent aborted “remodeling” program by a previous owner. Carrigan acquired the building at a public outcry held recently.□ V ATTENTION HUNTERS!! HILLSDALE GROCERY l MIL! CAST OF RUSSIA'S CORNER WILL OPEN AT 4:30 A.M.

W. Burgess, Superintendent of State Police, released statistics showing a “significant rise” in speeding arrests made by his department alone. He said that during the first nine months of 1974, State Police speeding arrests totaled 112,886, an increase of 31,859 over the 81,027 for the same period of 1973. As an example, he cited 14,830 such arrests during September, or an increase of 5,820 over the 9,010 of September, 1973. “We had, excluding uniformed personnel in basic training, an average slightly in excess of 800 troopers to patrol 50,000 miles of highways 24 hours a day for each day of those nine months.
