4 Wilderness’ opposed 1 Planning District bows to MadwMi-’s-leacl j By MARK HELMKE THE BEAUTY of Shenandoah f National Park should be utilized as a “scenic resource” for the » tourist trade, not restricted and 1 protected as a federal wilderness area, Madison County Planning Commissioner Frank Walker told the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission last Thursday night in Culpeper. Even though the Planning District representatives from Fauquier, Rappahannock, Culpeper and Orange Counties backed fellow member Madison’s fight against the wilderness area designation, Walker abandoned many of Madison’s original arguments against the wilderness designation. Walker indicated that Madison was willing to compromise with Representative J. Kenneth Robin son, who is holding up his submittal of the federal legislation to designate 80,000 acres of the 193,000 park under the federal wilderness system to work something out with Madison. More than 2,000 county residents, the Orange and Rappahannock Supervisors and now the Planning District Commission, have supported Madison in its fight against the wilderness area. But at the meeting Thursday, Walker dropped Madison’s arguments that the wilderness designation would constitute a “fire hazard.” He was only concerned about the designation of the 8,000 acres embracing Old Rag Mountain and Weakley Hollow, which are the biggest attractions to hikers, riders and campers. WALKER’S revised arguments See Page 18 Two killed in truck-cycle collision TWO Rappahannock residents were fatally injured Saturday evening in a traffic collision involving a motorcycle and a pickup on Route 729 south of Ben Venue. The victims were Floyd Brown Hitt, 45, of Amissville and Dorothy Poehler, 31, of Washington, Va. They were riding a 350 Honda which crashed into a 73 Chevrolet pickup driven by C.W. Fannon Jr. of Castleton, according to Trooper R.A. Baines. The officer reported that the truck had pulled far to the right of the road to avoid the bike when it collided with the pickup. A head-on collision occurred earlier Saturday on Route 211 at Amissville, injuring one per son. Trooper G.F. Gregory investigated the collision, which involved Cathy Lloyd of Michigan and James Keeton of West Virginia. Miss Lloyd was hospitalized with facial injuries. She was cited for reckless driving. Last Thursday Trooper Gregory investigated a collision on Route 622 three miles north of Sperryville when two vehicles met on a narrow hill crest. Helen Dillon Snead of Washington, Va. and Campbell H. Chrisman of Sperryville were the drivers. The front fender of each vehicle was damaged and no charges were filed. FRIDAY evening in Amissville on Route 211 a 73 Pontiac op erated by John Fletcher of Huntly struck a camper which was being pulled by a 67 Ford pickup driven by Soloman Earl Bruce Jr. of Woodbridge. According to Trooper Gregory’s investigation, the Fletcher vehicle crossed the center of the road and struck the left front of the camper. He was cited for failing to keep to the right of the road. Fletcher sustained a lacerated lip in the crash. Last week, this newspaper erroniously stated that Arthur Bernard Pullen was cited for following too close. It should have read: “Robert Kemp was cited for following too closely.”□ Historical Society open house Sunday AN OPEN HOUSE at the brick building on Gay Street owned by the Rappahannock Historical Society will be held Sunday, March 9, from 4 to 6 p.m. Sketches and plans for restoration of the building will be on display. Suggestions and ideas will be heard. A committee under the chairmanship of Waldron O’Connor will be in charge of the restoration work. At a meeting of the Society Wednesday, February 26, officers for the ensuing year were elected: President, Mrs. Virginia G. Miller; Vice President, E.M. Jones; Secretary, Mrs. Robert J. Rodgers; Treasurer, Mrs. Robert Anderson. Meetings will be scheduled for the third Tuesday in February, May and October. Membership fees are $5 a couple; $3 single membership and $1 junior membership. Renewal or new membership checks may be sent to Mrs. Robert Anderson, Box 53, Woodville, Va. The Society will sponsor a House Tour October 18 and 19. Phil Irwin has suggested that the Rappahannock Historical Society provide its recommendations and an inventory list map of historic structures for inclusion in the environmental inventory being prepared for the Rappahannock Planning Commission and RLEP by the Piedmont Environmental Council. This information should be made available promptly; contact Mrs. I.L. Parrish, Viewtown, Va.D First step for the realization of a county youth center is evidenced as a well is being drilled on the community property donated by Col. Earl Holmes for the center. A class II well is required for a public facility of this nature. The well is drilled, cased and then surrounded by cement to insure quality for public consumption. The well casing is cut the proper length with an acetylene torch. t

LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 475-2341 The ‘Wilderness’ RECOMMENDED reading in this issue of the News is Art Wright’s letter about the “Wilderness” controversy that has developed around a proposal that would enhance the value of the Shenandoah National Park, now and for generations to come. We urge readers to take the time to read Mr. Wright’s letter, as lengthy as it is. There has been so much misinformation and crying of alarums based on an inadequate understanding of what is actually involved, and Mr. Wright has gone to some pains to try and set the facts straight. His^ argument is effectively summed up in a single paragraph: wnai wilderness win ao for that small park is to stop any possibility of development in those areas classified as wilderness—no permanent roads, tourist facilities, septic tank systems to pollute stream drainages, gas stations and the like. Future recreational pressures could put more of such developments into the park. Wilderness is a way to avoid for Shenandoah some of the development mistakes that have been made in other national parks such as Yosemite and Yellowstone, where the (Park) Service is busily engaged at great expense to the taxpayer in correcting de velopment abuses of the past.” THE NATIONAL Parks have represented something of a dilemma since their inception. How do you protect the natural beauty of such areas, with a minimum of tampering with nature, and provide maximum recreational opportunities for a maximum number of people, at the same time? More often than not, this is a paradox that cannot be answered; choices must be made. The relatively modest “wilderness” proposal for the Shenandoah National Park appears to be an eminently sensible proposal for attempting to reconcile difficulties which, as Mr. Wright notes in his letter, have come close to destroying parks in other parts, of the country—destroy them as both places of natural beauty and as recreational areas, for no one wants to hike on a highway or camp in a refuse heap. r raniuy, me arguments 01 some of the “wilderness” opponents strike us as classic examples of wanting to have your cake and eat it, too. They want maximum “tourist” business opportunities, but profess great love for the unspoiled outdoors at the same time. It seems to us that the “wilderness” proposal for Shenandoah represents a far better approach. □ New veterans law in force PEACETIME veterans are now on the same basis as wartime veterans for hospital and nursing home care. Under the new law, honorable active service, even service of only one day, entitles a person to hospital care for nonservice-connected disabilities if otherwise qualified. The basis requirements for hos- ■ pital care for non-service-connected disabilities are: hospitalization is deemed necessary; a bed is available; inability to pay for private hospital care. Inability to pay is not a requirement in cases where a veteran is age 65 or over or in receipt of pension. Wartime service or service after January 31, 1955, is still a requirement for domiciliary care, if the applicant is unable to defray the expenses of domiciliary care. Edwin L. Pomeroy, of the Front Royal Office of the Division of War Veterans’ Claims, is in Washington at the Clerk’s Office on the 1st and third Monday from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. and will give more details on this subject or any other matter connected with veterans’ affairs. Dean's list Drucilla Graves Davis of Washington, Va., has been named to the Dean’s List for the first semester at Mary Washington College in Fredericksburg. For a student to be selected for the Dean’s List at the liberal arts school, she must maintain a “B Plus” average. Miss Davis, a 1973 graduate of Rappahannock County High School, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George H. Davis, Jr., of Washington.□ “Close-ups The close-up photo last week was sugar crystals which were identified by several readers, though many of them thought it was salt. Salt is more uniform and more distinct. The winner of the contest drawn from the entries was Sterling Webb of Castleton. Others to correctly name the sugar were Beverly Gillespie, J.B. Holman, Todd Hrebik and Jeff Burke. Flood insurance Editor: I read with interest the article in last week’s paper concerning the discussion of Flood Insurance, by the Board of Supervisors. I live in Old Hollow on the Piney River. I am not sure that this is considered flood plain or not, but year before last during the hurricane damage was done to the road and to several families in this Hollow. I, for one, am very interested in the protection that this insurance would afford and I have talked to several other people and they, too, are interested. One of them told me that in the early fifties a hurrican did severe damage around Sperryville. 1 thinK if your paper would publicize the advantages of this insurance to the people of the county I am sure many of those whose homes are in flood plains would want this protection. This program by the government expires July 1, 1975, and any county not applying by then will be ineligible for this coverage. I am sure that many of the residents living along streams in the county don’t realize that maybe their homes or buildings are located on so-called flood palinsand that their normal insurance will not cover any water damage. The zoning plan adopted by the county may well conform to the government requirements and if application was made by the county these people could then get insurance to cover them. I think that our representatives should do all in their power so that this protection can be obtained. insurance agent to sell flood insurance. One agent commented in Warrenton last month when the Fauquier Supervisors agreed to the federal program, that currently a person can only get flood insurance from a private company if he owns an ark or lives on a mountain top. If the county does not approve the flood hazard map and makes application for the program property owners will not be eligible for any kind of federal home or business aid in the event of flood damage. The only thing the county has to do is assure the federal government that it will enforce the state building code regarding flood-proofing in new construction within the flood hazard zone. The flood hazard zone is temporary and will be designated in greater detail at a later date by the federal government if the county participate^! the program. Park visits Visitors to Shenandoah National Park during February was a 44.1% increase over this month in 1974. Total visitation for the year is up 34.7%. To date some 114,400 people have visited the park in 1975. Tally this time last year was 84,900. Weather statistics show the maximum temperature at 58 degrees and the minimum at 1 degree. Snowfall was 3.70 inches and precipitation was 2.94.□ K. L. Martin Sperryville Editor’s Note: By approving the federal flood hazard map and making application, the county would enable property owners in flood hazard areas to obtain relatively inexpensive flood insurance. The insurance could be purchased from a private agent, but backed by the federal government. The cost of the insurance is expected to be as little as $35 a year for an average house. Heretofore, it has been virtually impossible for a private Friends Meeting Everyone is invited to join a group interested in organizing a Meeting in Rappahannock County, eventually to be under* the sponsorship of The Religious Society of Friends (Quakers).

T H E L I T T L E F 0 X Wilderness designation clarified Editor: It is very clear that the wilderness proposal for portions of Shenandoah National Park is suffering from a great deal of misinformation and misunderstanding as to what the Wilderness Act of 1964 does or does not do with respect to public use of such areas. Also gravely misunderstood is the impact of wilderness on private land and local interests. All of this is compounded by an unfortunate tendency to blame all park management problems on wilderness. Somehow wilderness has become the whipping boy for every local problem involving that park. I am keenly disappointed at the action of the Supervisors in authorizing Pete Luke to oppose wilderness at the next meeting of the District Planning Commission. However, I think the people of the County have reason to be grateful for Newbill Miller’s keen appreciation of the fact that the proposal was very much misunderstood. His words of caution were not heeded. Before I attempt to answer the objections, let it be understood that the Congress passed the Wilderness Act in 1964 to establish the National Wilderness Preservation System to be composed of those portions of federally owned lands in national parks, national forests and national wildlife refuges which qualify under the Wilderness Act. This law required the federal land managers to study their lands to determine which portions might qualify, to make those studies public and to hold public hearings on them. Would you believe that the first public hearings on Shenandoah Wilderness were held in Luray in June 1967? It is almost eight years later and Shenandoah wilderness is not a fact of law yet, and may never be if unwise objections continue to prevail. Wilderness designations cost the taxpayer nothing and yet they are a highly desirable form of environmental protection. In addition to that, wilderness areas are available for all of the high quality outdoor recrea tional needs of the American people, contrary to the misinformed view of some that you can’t make entry either on foot or horseback. Or, if you can you’ll have no trails to hike or ride because it will all be a jungle or if you get hurt, the rescue people can’t get you out with vehicles or helicopters or if there is a fire it can’t be fought and so it will spread and endanger human lives and private property. None of this is true. The Wilderness Act prohibits none of these actions. The emergency provisions of the Wilderness Act permit the authorities to do anything necessary to protect public health and safety. This means going into wilderness areas with every form of mechanized transport known to man to meet any emergency. It is true that the old fire roads and trails will regenerate some under wilderness but the notion that they will be totally impassable in the near future is far fetched. In any event, many of them receive heavy use from hikers and horse riders and this will help keep them open. Now let’s examine the notion which is receiving wide attention that the Park Service might just allow a fire to burn itself out without controlling it. In nature’s scheme of things, wild fire has always had a part to play in the diverse ecological systems which evolved over many millions of years. Scientists and professional land managers now recognize that fire can be a good thing in an ecological sense. In vast western areas fires are sometimes allowed to burn uncontrolled. The chances of that happening here are so remote as to cause amazement that it is a serious objection to wilderness. I do not believe the National Park Service would dare not to control wildfire in a long, narrow park where fire could easily spread to private property, given the favorable factors of wind, low humidity and forest dryness. Were this to occur, the Park Service would be in deep, deep trouble with the public, a risk it most assuredly will not assume. Park Service personnel G/eafCars Make GreatDpalz New and Used Cars and Trucks PIEDMONT Chevrolet-Oldsmobile, Inc. 814 N. Main St. Phona 825-2161 Culpaptr. Va. may be intrigued by the ecological soundness of the idea but I’m sure they know there is no way of practicing it in this park. And I wish to point out that the problem of fire in the park is there with or without wilderness. Moreover, because of the emergency provisions of the Wilderness Act there is very little difference in fire fighting capability in wilderness and non-wilderness situations. It is hard to see why this problem is being laid on the back of the wilderness DroDosal. This is perhaps as good a place as any to discuss another problem of the park which is laid to the wilderness door—unfairly, in that it exists with or without wilderness. That is the problem of recreational over-use of the park. There are tremendous recreational pressures on the whole national park system. So much so that the quality of the visit to a park is often greatly diminished. Also the natural scene becomes depleted and run down. In the face of such pressures, parks may have to limit entry or require advance reservations or applications for same. This can apply to wilderness areas as well as non-wilderness areas. So entry may eventually have to be limited but it is an overall park problem not peculiar to wilderness even though park personnel may glibly talk about the need to provide the wilderness hiker or rider with plenty of solitude. This is nice but the real problem is to protect the resource from over-use and not worry too much about solitude. It is only one of many values mentioned in the Wilderness Act. Congress did not pass this act solely to provide solitude or indeed to provide recreation although this is one of its great uses. Some federal land managers like to interpret it as a recreational act but it is not—its basic purpose is preservation. The very first sentence of the Wilderness Act makes it clear: “Section 2.

207 meet review contest deadline A TOTAL of 207 elementary school students got their book reviews to the Rappahannock County Library before the March 1 deadline for entries in the 1975 book review contests, reports Caroline Daub, assistant librarian. “Of the 320 fifth, sixth and seventh graders to whom the elementary school book review contests are open,’’ added Mrs. Daub, “that means that just about twothirds are entered. That’s a high percentage from any point of view, and we are delighted.’’ Camille Prescott, a seventh ,grade English teacher, observed: “My class wasn’t so turned on about the contest until they went to the library and found the variety of good new books on subjects they find interesting that were there for them to choose from, then they took to the whole idea!’’ BASEBALL TEAM The baseball team at the local high school is giving away cash prizes in a project which will be concluded on April 22 at the home game with Page County.

A record crowd of 6,000 race fans look on as Anthony Price on Irish Model wins the Rappahannock Hurdle Race last Saturday. (Nancy Lillard photo) An eager hound awaits the start of the annual Rappahannock race. Mountains form a dramatic backdrop to the start of one of Rappahan • nock’s races, and the barn attests to die true “country” flavor of this popular point-to-point meeting. (Ray Dilley photo) Another fine Rappahannock race day BY JUNE RUHSAM EACH Virginia point-to-point has a character and flavor of its own, and Rappahannock Hunt’s, with its back-country mountainous setting, hillside race course and famous hound race, is truly unique. Saturday, March 1, a record crowd of over 6,000 enthusiastic farmers as well as regular racegoers stood on the wind-whipped hilltops to watch nine races. urn o Irnnnnf f in A VUllipVk&l-XV/ll JTIAU tlVVI*\/UV ■*•* * Vl*w owner-rider timber race with four of the five riders having won this race previously. Leading at the start was Arch Kingsley on Madagascar followed by Ranfolph Rouse, a five-times winner on Buen Paisano, who won in 1970 and 1971. Ernest Oare’s Charlie Bob went to the front at the third only to be challenged by David Semmes’ August Acorn, winner in ’68 and ’69, who took the lead at the top of the hill. Then they came barreling down the mountainside where Buen Paisano flew past th-e leaders. August Acorn and Charlie Bob caught up and the three were abreast going past the stands. Up the hill again with Charlie Bob two lengths in front going over the third last at the top, down the steep slope, over the one at the bottom, around the tight turn to the final fence, it was still Charlie Bob on top. Buen Paisano made his move approaching the last, and into the stretch the leaders came in a furious drive with Buen Paisano across the finish a half length over August Acorn; then came Stanislaw Maliszewski’s Hammurabi and Charlie Bob. However, the taste of victory was short for Randy Rouse; he had cut the flag before the last fence and was disqualified. Winner was the popular sportsman from Potomac David Semmes and August Acorn; second Hammurabi and third Ernest Oare’s Charlie Bob. BEGINNING the afternoon’s sport was the pair race with 21 teams representing seven hunts. The first five teams to finish were all from Rappahannock Hunt, which must say something for conditioning on the local mountains. James Atkins on Timbucktoo and Wayne Sutphin on Czonka won with 26 seconds faster time over the two and a quarter mile course than Jeff LeHew on Scotch Water and Pete Aylor riding Moody Ajdor’s Bug Boy. Third team was Judy Levi on Victory Way and Suzanne Bennett on Bunt Childs’ Spanish Harbor. In the flat race which followed, 12 got off to a ragged start with John Martin’s War Story and Tommy Lee Jones’ Lay Off in the lead. Steve Green rode his Service’s Image to victory, with Larmonde Stables’ Baroness Bedres, Anthony Price up, coming in a close second, followed by Roy Graham on Tommy Lee Jones’ Lay Off. The ladies were the first to try the new timber course, which no longer goes up the corridor through the crowd but has its third and fourth fences near the finish line in front of the paddock. Except for a quick start by Connie Blevins on her Eloping and a challenge by Susan Green’s Charlie-BeGood, the two-mile, eleven-fences course was dominated by Robert Crompton’s Rosemary. The chestnut mare hit the last fence, however, sending her rider Sally Caldwell out of the saddle. For five strides the petite miss from Andrews Bridge Hunt rode Rosemary’s neck, then scrambled back into the saddle. As they headed for home Susan Green flashed passed to win on her first-time starter, Charlie-Be-Good. Third was Mrs. Wally Dennis on War Lis. IN THE OPEN hurdle race, fourth on the card, Larmonde Stables’ Irish Model and JohnBuress’s Mr. Makeup led from the start around the first turn of the course. Mapk Crippen’s Royal C lost his rider at the first fence and Ready Snodgrass’ Bestoctave was pulled up after refusing the second. As they swung uphill on the final turn, Singing Bill with Noel Twyman riding went head and head with the leader, Irish Model, but the Larmonde Stables’ bay mare pulled away to open up a sixT length lead. Mr. Makeup, Gerry Palmer up, came on again strongly to finish second to Irish Model, ridden by Anthony Price. Third was Singing Bill, owned by William Albright and Clyde Sullivan of Moore County Hunt. The Mary D. Slaughter Memorial open timber race had only three starters, but it was a good contest between Mrs. John Collins’ Captain Carlo, with her bro ther, Joe Aitcheson up, and Cousin Wes ridden by owner Randolph Rouse. They jumped the third fence together, and followed by Martin Kremer’s Score Sheet with Johnny Hughes in the irons, charged up the steep hill. Cousin Wes had a bad fence at the top and again over the aiken at the bottom of the hill where he took out a rail. Captain Carlo led down the mountain on the final lap by six lengths, but Cousin Wes came on strongly to pass him at the head of the stretch. Veteran Joe Aitcheson, riding a brilliant finish, sent Captain across the wire by a length to the good of Cousin Wes. Score Sheet jumped the wing of the last fence, so jockey Hughes pulled him up, took the fence and finished late. THE OWNER-RIDER hurdle race was a repeat - of last week’s contest at Casanova with Douglas Worrall’s Mr. Bruhl again leading from start to finish. He was followed by Storytale, Harry Wight riding with a cast on his broken right hand, and R.M. Walterman’s Waltersson. The order remained the same until the seventh of eleven fences when the gray Walters son fell, and Kool Kake began to close on the leaders. Across the finish it was Mr. Bruhl the winner, Kevin Palmer’s Kool Kake second, and Dr. Joe Rogers third on his Marine Band. Seventh on the card was the gentleman’s timber race, and the fans were happy to see Kenneth Embrey’s Timber Topper have a change of luck. Last week at Casanova he fell at a fence when a loose horse blocked him. Dr. William McCormick took Timber Topper to the front and they held the lead throughout the two and a half miles. Gibson Semmes on his Scoobie Doobie and Mike Brown riding Miss Cherry traded the second position several times, going head and head over the rail fence at the top of the hill and the coop at the bottom. Coming into the last fence it looked like a classic hunt team with the horses evenly spaced. Miss Cherry tried her best to catch the leader in the stretch, but it was Timber Topper by two lengths over Miss Cherry, followed by Scoobie Doobie. AS THE CROWD watched, Rappahannock’s huntsman Jimmy Dodson laid the drag for the hound race, going around the two barns at the opposite ends of the race course. Excitement mounted as the 94 hounds were released and ran as a pack toward the first point. From there on only a few worked the line, the others took off over the mountain on the scent of a live fox. Winning for the third time, and thus retiring the foxhunter’s challenge trophy, was Jack Bruce with Cleo. Second was Kelly Corbin with his big, blue-tick bitch, Blue Baby, with third going to James Alvin Compton’s Mede. Fourth and fifth place prize money and ribbons went to J.M. Gibbs Katie and Jack Bruce’s Julip.D Blue Ridge Hunt meet Saturday BY JUNE RUHSAM BLUE RIDGE Hunt will be the host for Saturday’s point-to-point races, March 8, third of the Virginia series and the 26th annual race meeting for this hunt. Woodley Farm on Route 340, two miles south of Berryville, is the setting, where spectators have a panoramic view of the course from their cars^and can see every fence. Normally, Blue Ridge has a fourrace card, but this year an added attraction is the first event, a hunting-pace pair race, beginning at 12:30 p.m. Early entries are a pair from Old Dominion, Mrs. Joan Hopewell on Standard Bearer and Mrs. Judy Gilman on Priceless Spring. Four teams from Blue Ridge Hunt are Mimi Donovan and David Robinson, B. Beverly Byrd and Westy Byrd, Mr. and Mrs. Leon Warner, Bob Pillion and Mrs. Liz Dunning, and Mrs. G.P. Greenhalgh, Jr. with Miss Christine Hill. Post time for the novice race, the Sandy Baldwin Memorial is • 2:30 p.m. Among the first to enter are Mrs. Redmond Toerge’s Believe the Price, Halfway Farm’s Fell Swoop, Fred Green’s Moby Dick, John W. Latta’s Tahitian Treat, and Dr. Ralph Lynch’s Barrow’s Negros, winner last week at Marlboro. THIRD is the George P. Greenish Memorial for owner-riders. Early entries are David Semmes’s August Acorn, last week’s winner at Rappahannock; Ernest Oare’s Charlie Bob and Allen B.J., H.T. McKnight’s Gunmount and Stan'slaw Maliszewski’s Hammurabi. The Blue Ridge Ladies race is next. Vivian Ralls has entered her Keelboat, winner at Casanova, while Beth Secor is bringing Why Worry, and Mrs. Sandra Worsham has entered Whirl O War. ALREADY shaping up for a good contest with several top horses is the open race. Casanova point-topoint winners H.T. McKnight’s Gustan and John Y. Latta’s Liquid Consolation, and also Dave Robinson’s Lost Lamb should be tough ones to beat. Others entered are the cross-entries Ernest Oare’s Allen B.J. and Charlie Bob and Mrs. Redmond Toerge’s Believe the Price. General admission to the races is $2; subscriber parking is $15. The Clarke County Conservation Club will provide refreshments, or spectators may bring their own picnics. □ Cleo, owned by Jack Bruce of Rappahannock, crosses the finish line . to take first place in the Hound Race. Sally Caldwell, aboard Robert Crompton’s Rosemary, kept the crowd on the hill at the Rappahannock point-to-point Saturday, in suspense as she managed to stay on the horse after taking the last fence, while leading the ladies race. She finished second to Susan Green, shown moving up on Rosemary on her Charlie Be Good. (Douglas Lees photo) *

Wilderness designation clarified From Page 3 does not occupy and modify all areas within the United States and its possessions, leaving no lands designated for preservation and protection in their natural condition, it is hereby declared to be the policy of the Congress to secure for the American people of present and future generations the benefits of an enduring resource of wilderness.” Those benefits are not strictly recreational but involve protection to forests and wildlife habitat and to clean water flowing out of the protected stream drainages in the wilderness area and many other benefits. Some opponents of wilderness like to say that the Act was passed for the benefit of a comparative handful of hikers, back-packers and horse riders which is unmitigated nonsense. It was passed to pre serve what remains, in almost pitiful remnants, of our great natural heritage of wilderness. I am sure there are many people in this county of pioneer ancestry, who are perhaps proud of the fact that their ancestors conquered the wilderness and its dangers and hardships and carved a living from it. Our nation will be two hundred years old in 1976—the Bicentennial and great celebrations are being planned everywhere. Historic preservation is the order of the day. The antique business is soaring. We are looking back as never before, one of the reasons being that it is growing much harder to face the present and the future.

So far as I can see, 1976 will come and go and wilderness and other aspects of our great natural heritage will hardly be thought about. In our early days, wilderness helped make our people great. They were resourceful, reliable and courageous—they had to be. If we are losing that greatness, it could also be, in part, befause we have lost almost all of the wilderness. I seem to have digressed to the broader, philosophical aspects of wilderness without meaning to and so will return to more practical items. Opponents are now saying that if wilderness is brought out to the park boundaries that access from the bottom of the mountains will be stopped and that entry can be made only from “the top down.” This goes along with the idea that trails will be closed. I once counted the access points at the boundary shown on the official Park Service map of its wilderness proposal. There were more than 30 of them—small nonwilderness enclaves at the boundary intended to accommodate public entry at those points. It would be absolutely ridiculous for the Park Service to require horse back riders to haul their horses to a point on Skyline Drive to make entry or do the same to hikers and back-packers, or just plain picnickers. I don’t think the Service would do it for public relations reasons. It has legitmate concerns about over-use and abuse of the natural resources involved but this has to be met by ways other than requiring entry only from Skyline Drive. Again this is a problem not peculiar to wilderness. If the Park Service wants to limit entry of hikers or horses it has to be for resource protection reasons and not simply because it is wilderness. What wilderness will do for that small park is to stop any possibility of development in those areas classified as wildernessno permanent roads, tourist facilities, septic tank systems to pollute stream drainages, gas stations and the like. Future recreational pressures could put more of such developments into the park. Wil derness is a way to avoid for Shenandoah some of the developmental mistakes that have been made in other national parks such as Yosemite and Yellowstone where the Service is busily engaged at great expense to the taxpayer in correcting developmental abuses of the past. Just so your readers know of my interest in this subject, let me say that I work for the Wilderness Society, a forty-year-old private, non-profit, membership organization which works hard to save what remains of the great American wilderness. I am also a land-owner and taxpayer in Rappahannock County of many years’ standing. Mrs. Wright and I have many friends and acquaintances in the county and we look forward to the day when we can live here permanently rather than just as weekenders. ror those ot you who teel that Congressionally-declared wilderness areas for the Park are a good thing, you’d better let the Supervisors know and Representative J. Kenneth Robinson and Senator Harry F. Byrd, Jr. Both Mr. Robinson and Senator Byrd have heretofore supported wilderness and filed appropriate bills in both houses of the Congress. Shenandoah wilderness passed the U.S. Senate in September, 1973 but has not yet been passed by the House. If you want it you’ll have to help save it. It has a good chance of being lost due to misunderstanding and misinformation. If I can help, I’ll come talk to any group and answer any questions and do whatever is reasonably necessary to achieve this desirable goal. Thanks for your time.

Wilderness A Corvette collided head-on with a vehicle driven by a West Virginia Trooper in Amissville Saturday evening. One person sustained slight injuries in the collision. Involved were Cathy Lloyd of Michigan and James Keeton. Miss Lloyd sustained face lacerations, according to Trooper G.F. Gregory. From Page 1 for Madison stressed only the need to keep these two areas open because the county’s tourist business depends on them. It would be an enforcement problem to restrict the use of these popular areas that have attracted an average of 10,000 people a week, saidWalker. The revised arguments avoided any opposition from the Planning District Commissioners to Madison’s fight against the wilderness designation. Some of the Commissioners commented after the meeting that Madison was originally asking for the elimination of too much park land from the wilderness zone. tven KappanannocK commissioner Pete Luke reversed his stance against the wilderness proposal. At a Rappahannock Board of Supervisor’s work session the week before, Luke had said he was opposed to the “wilderness” because it would constitute a fire hazard and restrict the use of park land from neighboring prop This announcement is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any of these securities.

BOTH LUKE and Walker said they now understand that the Department of the Interior intends to keep some of the fire roads and bridges open to fight every fire. Luke said he had learned in the past week that the wilderness restrictions were not a “lock out” of local residents. He added that since his reported opposition to the wilderness designation, some of the neighboring property owners to the park told him they wanted the restrictions because too many people were using the park fire roads and endangering them from uncontrolled campfires. Walker’s basic argument against the wilderness area was a bit confusing. First, he reported that the Old Rag and Weakley Hollow sections of the park are not controlled well enough by the Park Service. He said that the previous Saturday night approximately 80 people were camping overnight on Old Rag without required camping permits. Then he argued that if the strict wilderness zone restrictions were enforced, which would limit the amount of camping and hiking traffic in the park, neighboring private land would be inundated. Walker argued that Madison wanted these swarms of people for its tourist business, but disliked both the lack of control and too much control. EVEN THOUGH the Planning District Commissioners supported Walker’s arguments against the wilderness designation, some commented afterwards that although Old Rag and Weakley Hollow weren’t much of “wilderness,” with so many people tramping through, the two beautiful areas won’t last if use is not restricted or controlled. □ Workshop Rappahannock County Extension Office is sponsoring a craft workshop on making place mats which is scheduled for Wednesday, March 12 beginning at 10 a.m. at the parish hall in Washington.
