19f 23219 --- |STAil ,| Murder charge against youth dropped RAPPAHANNOCK’S Commonwealth’s Attorney George H. Davis Jr. says he will ask the Juvenile and Domestic Relations Judge to dismiss murder charges against 16-year-old Randy Clark of Flint Hill. The youth was taken into custody Sunday night at his home after he confessed to the shooting of Joseph Lynn Corron, 36, of Front Royal. Corron was the stepfather of Randy Clark. Investigation of the shooting is still in progress, but it is possible that no other arrest will be made, according to Mr. Davis. The bizaare circumstances which led to his apprehension and subsequent release were related to Sheriff John Walker Jenkins by the boy’s father, Lewis Clark, who sustained serious injuries in an exchange of gunfire with Corron at the Clark home on the Re; settlement Road at Flint Hill about 10:30. Vsurruii uieu hi waucu orial Hospital, Front Royal about 20 minutes after being admitted with profuse internal bleeding from a wound in the abdomen. Corron had gone to the Clark home, knocked on the door, and opened fire through the thin hollow panel door when Lewis Clark turned on the porch light and peered through a glass pane in the door. Clark and a friend, Judy Fulcher of Woodstock, were sitting on the sofa when Corron drove up in a pickup. Clark told Sheriff Jenkins that he smelled something fishy and took his gun from under the sofa pillow when he went to answer the door. Utility protest THE skyrocketing cost of electricity in Virginia is at least an impartial phenomenon—it has fallen on the rich and poor alike, and on rural areas as well as cities. And Rural Rappahannock doesn’t like it any more than Loudoun, a county half rural, half suburban. At their March meeting last Thursday, the Rappahannock Supervisors voted to join in the move initiated by Loudoun County, whereby Virginia counties, towns and cities are being asked to join in a call to the Governor to reconvene the legislature and do something about the cost of electricity in the Old Dominion. Rappahannock Chairman Pete Luke had scarcely finished reading a letter from Loudoun’s Board when Supervisor Herbert Foster expressed his agreement. “I think we should (join them),“ said Foster “Why Bradord’s Store (in Flint Hill) had a $60 fuel bill tacked on to the electric bill.” Commonwealth ’ s Attorney George Davis said he understands people who use electricity to heat their homes haven’t seen anything yet. “I understand the increase will really be great after August 1.” He explained that when the electric companies were pushing for all-electric houses, a lower rate was established for heating purposes. But now, that will end. As Davis put it: “A 4.9 kilowatt will now cost something like 8.9.” “PEOPLE won’t be able to use it,” protested Supervisor Clarence Baldwin. “Just look at the bill for our jail,” added Pete Luke. “For a period of 60 days, the bill came to $116.68, and of that, $24.52 was for fuel adjustment. I looked at my own bills for a year ago, and the fuel adjustment used to be a nickel or a few cents—last month it was $21.” “We’re not getting the whole truth from the utility companies,” said George Davis. “Something’s gotta be done,” agreed Luke. “Everybody has conserved and cut back, so what do they do? They up the rate.” He agreed with Foster that Rappahannock should join Loudoun’s call for reassembling the Legislature. “The question is,” warned George Davis, “whether we can anticipate any improvement by the General Assembly reconvening. They may make it worse.” “I thought so, too,” said Luke. “Maybe we ought to put the pressure on the State Corporation Commission.” “THE TROUBLE with that is,” said Davis, “the SCC has to follow formulas set by the General Assembly.” Herbert Foster still thought See Page 3 SCHOOL SCHEDULE Rappahannock County public schools will resume the regular schedule Monday with schools opening at 9 a.m. Buses will operate on their original schedule, a half hour earlier. CLARK, who was struck, returned one shot through the front door, then staggered into the kitchen and collapsed. He said later that -he didn’t know how he could have missed Corron. The Sheriffs report stated that Randy Clark, asleep in a second floor bedroom, heard the commotion, rushed downstairs, saw his father on the floor then grabbed a 30-30 rifle and fired from the house toward the pickup to which Corron had retreated. Thinking he had killed Corron, the youth hurried to a neighbor, Collis Dodson, related the circumstances, and requested that he call Sheriff Jenkins. A medical examination later showed that Corron expired from a pistol shot instead of a 30-30 rifle. The .22 caliber bullet was found lodged in Corron’s body by Medical Examiner James C. Byers of Falls Church. FURTHER investigation disclosed that the projectile from the rifle had gone through the windshield of the pickup, continued through the back glass and struck the tailgate. Clark underwent extensive surgery in the Front Royal hospital, where he remains. Attorney Davis said Wednesday morning: “If it was the bullet from Lewis Clark’s gun that killed Joseph Corron, it was obviously fired in self defense and after Corron first fired through the front door of Clark’s home. Until ballistic tests are made, I can not rule out the possibility of suicide.”—Sarah Latham Washington Fire Department has been busy this week; first with a chimney fire at the home of Clyde Jenkins in Washington. Firemen Brad Fisher and Jennings Hobson use the chimney sweep to clean the smouldering, smoking chimney which jeopardized the old frame house.

LATHAM, Mia^s Tatastwaa WaaMagtsa I71-1M1 EMtar Three cheers SUPERVISOR Herbert Foster summed up the situation perfectly when he urged fellow members of the Rappahannock Board to respond to the move initiated by Loudoun County, seeking to have the Governor recall the General Assembly to “do something” about soaring utility costs in Virginia. “It would put Vepco on notice,” said Mr. Foster. “It’s the only way we have to express our dissatisfaction.” Well put, and the case for recalling the legislature goes even further. The State Corporation Commission, which is supposed to regulate such utility giants as Vepco, follows rules and regulations set for it by the state legislature. If enough people can convince enough legislators that some new arrangements are needed in the way Vepco and other utilities in Virginia do business, then “something” indeed can be done about what has become an intolerable situation. Somewhere along the line, before everybody goes bankrupt just trying to keep home fires (and light bulbs) burning, logic has to be applied to a field where greedy illogicality has run rampant. It is not logical to keep increasing rates at a time when more and more people are having an increasingly hard time just making ends meet. Something is going to have to give, and if logic were the prevailing factor, it would be Vepco’s insatiable demands, not hundreds of thousands of hard-pressed Virginians. IF VEPCO is having trouble attracting needed investment dollars, then perhaps the state government could play some role in assisting long-range planning. If their “profit margin” has dwindled in the face of rising costs, then Vepco' should consider drastic belttightening before it goes out to try and squeeze more money from the public. It is not enough for the utility’s officials to keep citing their rising costs—the costs facing all of us have gone\ up, too, and not all of us canV simply go out and extract higher rates from a captive clientele. So three cheers for Loudoun County, for initiating the call for a special utility session of the General Assembly, an idea which seems to be sweeping the state. And three extra cheers for the Rappahannock Supervisors for supporting the move. Who knows? It just might produce some positive action. □ Book review party THE RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY Library has set the Book Revie* Award Party for 7:30 Tuesday evening, March 25. Ail elementary school contestants, their English teachers and parents are invited. Contest judges will be present to read outstanding reviews and dis"cuss literary questions. “Certificates of Merit and cash prizes will be awarded,” said Ruth Blackwell, County Librarian, “amid light refreshments and a big welcome for all.” She added, for the benefit of the contestants, “Remember, the second of your two required reviews is due by ^ Saturday, March 15.” Three winners and three honorable mention awards will be given for both the 5th grade contest and the 6th and 7th grade contest.

Letters to the editor ‘Cowboys’ receive a vote of thanks Editor: I would like to express my appreciation to the Sheriff’s Department and expecially to Deputy Hawkins and his partner (I failed to get his name) for coming to my aid when a young Angus bull which I’d purchased at the sale in Culpeper escaped from my truck while I was at the home of Frank and Frances Tabler in Sperry ville. I think this was the first “roundup” for both of them and I’d like to say “Thanks men,” I thought you’d be glad to know the bull is now contentedly munching hay in Maryland. Albert S. Tabler, Jr. Gwen A1 Farm Rocky Ridge, Md. He doesn’t think Vepco is funny Editor: It was with a mixture of surprise and gratification that I returned to the United States and my beautiful Rappahannock County after a three-week trip to find that my epithet-hurling Vepco adversary, senior vice-president Donald B. McCammond, had mellowed in so short a space of time into a grinning fun-lover. Will the real Mr. McCammond please stand up? He wrote that “Mr. Harris and I have had our fun, without contributing very much, I fear, to the enlightenment and understanding of the public.” * well, now, McCammond surely is entitled to speak for himself when he says that, but he cannot speak for me or for the thousands of other electric consumers who are up in arms over increasingly intolerable electric rates. We consumers feel that we. are contributing a great deal when we point out that in numerous instances electric rates have about doubled in the past year, while the average cost of living index has been around 12 to 15 per cent. As to enlightenment, we must point out to Vepco once again that it did nothing to enlighten the public to the vital fact that in 1974 there was zero electric demand growth in the Vepco system, a far cry from the ten-per-cent annual growth it projected as justification for its demand for still another 500,000 k.v. powerline that would ruin OUT Sppnip rnnnlruciHo Mr. McCammond did not enlighten the public on the 1974 figures. To my knowledge nor did any other officer of the utility. It took a meek little ordinary consumer like myself to bring out the facts. So, my new friend Mr. McCammond, you must speak for yourself in disavowing enlightenment. My new mellow pen pal speaks of the fun we have had in print. Yes, indeed, here at Jordan River Farm my wife Miriam and I have had a jolly old time envisioning the monstrous high-tension powerline that' Vepco wants to thrust across our most gorgeous meadowlands. We can appreciate a joke as much as any Vepco official, and See Page 9

I L I T T L E F 0 X Pin ‘Wilderness’ worries Plans for Shenandoah Park are explained BYTEKAY PETTUS A “WILDERNESS” designation for portions of the Shenandoah National Park was discussed by Bob Jacobsen, park superintendent, last Friday night at the quarterly meeting of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection. Jacobsen was a late addition to RLEP’s program, after talk about proposed Wilderness status for parts of the park aroused some controversy at several recent public meetings in Rappahannock and surrounding counties. However, Jacobsen’s appearance didn’t supplant the two speakers who had been previously scheduled to address RLEP members and guests. Memory Porter, president of the Prince William Lea Utility From Page 1 Loudoun County had a good idea. “It would put Vepco on notice. It’s the only way “we have to express our disatisfaction.” “Maybe it would be wise to wait until the next session of the General Assembly in January of 1976,” suggested George Davis. “By that time, the rates would be up by half again,” said Foster, who made a motion that Rappahannock join Loudoun’s initiative. Supervisor J. R. Latham agreed that such a resolution would represent “a form of protest,” and so did Clarence Baldwin. The vote of approval was unanimous. —Ray Dilley gue for the Protection of Natural Resources, talked about' the efforts of that group to prevent the location of Marriott’s “Great America” theme park in Prince William and to stop the construction of Interstate 66. Dr. Noel Laing, past president of the Waterford Foundation, told how that Loudoun County village and surrounding countryside have been preserved through private initiative. Bob Jacobsen said he’d been caught between “a rock and a hard spot” on the Wilderness proposal. Wilderness advocates feel that he doesn’t press the case for Wilderness quite strongly enough while wilderness opponents feel he’s far too eager in his support for the program. Jacobsen said. There is a wide spectrum of recreational uses of land, ranging from a highly developed “Disneyland-type” park to an untouched wilderness area, Jacobsen said. Both of those extreme recreational uses as well as the types of recreation in between are valid, he said. Once it has been established that wilderness does have place, and that fact was established by the Congress with the Wilderness Act of 1964, the next question is where to establish the wilderness. ‘ ‘Must we go to Montana or Maine to find Wilderness?” Jacobsen -asked. “I feel we can have some in the Shenandoah National Park.” In January of 1975, Congress acknowledged that there is an urgent need to study and identify possible wilderness areas in the populous eastern states. Eighty thousand acres of the Shenandoah National Park is proposed for wilderness designation. Jacobsen said the Park Service will manage the Wilderness area to “promote and perpetuate” the wilderness traits of those areas of the park which may be designated as such. That means that roads in the wilderness areas will be closed, bridges removed, culverts ripped out and shelters torn down. The “carrying capacity” (or number of people to visit) in a wilderness area will be regulated so as to insure solitude and “a wilderness experience” for those who do enter the wilderness, Jacobsen said. Eileen Day asked if the Wilderness designation would mean that landowners who have property adjoining the park couldn’t cross into the wilderness area from their own land. Would they have to enter the wilderness area from a check station at the top of the mountain? she wondered. INITIALLY NO, Jacobsen said, “but we (the Park Service) are playing the forever game when we talk about wilderness. As the competition for open space gets greater we’ll have to become more aggressive in our management of the wilderness.”’ “As we start policing capacity, we may later have to say that you can only enter the wilderness through such entry portals. I think that’s a long way off, but it’s coming,” Jacobsen said. “But by the time we have to take these strong steps there’ll be a different appreciation of public land.” Patty Alexander asked Jacobsen if closing the roads in a wilderness area meant that they would no longer be maintained or that ac cess by horse or foot would be prohibited. Jacobsen said the Park would no longer maintain the roads, but that constant use by enough people will probably mean that some trails will never grow up. Other new trails may be developed over a period of time, he said. Byrd Gravatt Jones asked Jacobsen if he felt it was a bit incongruous to have to enter a wilderness “through a turnstile.” “There’s no point in designating the wilderness and then going on with business as usual,” Jacobsen said. A SIMILAR point worried Eileen Day. “All this talk of ‘management,’ limiting the number of people who go in. It seems so preconceived for a wilderness area.” Mrs. Day suggested that once the trails grew up and the water fountains were removed in wilderness areas that the number of people wanting to use those parts of the park would decrease anyway. Jacobsen commented again that management of the wilderness area will be based on a “social, not a resource determination.” As demand increases, there will have to be a breaking point “some place between one and one million people.” There will be no effect on the number of people allowed to enter the areas for several years, Jacobsen said, because the Park Service is still in a “data-collecting state.” About 90,000 campers slept on the ground in the park last year and Jacobsen predicted that the Park would allow that many again, this year.

Plans for Shenandoah Park are explained From Page 3 JACOBSEN noted that many of the counties adjoining the park, like Rappahannock, do not have public park space and thus depend on the National Park for recreational opportunities. Eventually, the wilderness designation may mean that local people will have to give up some of their privileges they’ve become accustomed to for the national interest. After all, he said, the Shenandoah National Park is federally owned and people from 200 miles away have as much right to use it as people from Rappahannock. Wilderness status tor some areas of the park will mean that other areas will become more intensely used, Jacobsen'said. Currently the Park Service is studying ways to increase the “carrying capacity” of non-wilderness/ areas of the park. Circuit-traiJsT cn which all traffic moves in the same direction, can handle more people in less time than a trail of the same length on which the hikers turn around and comeback, passing those who began hiking later, he said. Wilderness designation will give the Park Service no authority that it doesn’t already have, Jacobsen said. In many areas of the Shenandoah National Park large areas of “de facto” wilderness already exist. Separate from, though related to, the issue of wilderness, the Park Service is now studying the possibility of reintroducing species that were once native to this area but have disappeared. This would not include wolves or cougars, he said, but smaller mammals such as the fox squirrel. SUPERVISOR Pete Luke said he was especially concerned about the fire policy of the Park Service in respect to the wilderness designation. Again, this issue is being studied regardless of the wilderness, Jacobsen said. “Sixty years ago in the Shenandoah, we had a different forest, Jacobsen said. “It was loaded with slash from timbering and when it burned i^-burned brightly and it burned TSigT BulN^ur fuel conditions are different nd^. We probably couldn’t set a fire Ho burn that big.” Jacobsen said that the wilderness designation does not affect the Park Service’s ability to fight a fire. “We can use every means ever, the fact that some of the existing roads would not be maintained might cut down on the initial attack time, Jacobsen said, possible, from helicopters to bulldozers, to get in there and put it out,” he said.

Jacobsen said that some burning might help enhance the diversity of plant and animal species in the Park. “I’ve had some correspondence with Captain Keim,” Jacobsen said. “He’s concerned that our forest has become mature, has shaded out some plants and reduced the capacity of the park for deer.” Some species of trees will only reproduce in burned over or barren soil, Jacobsen said. The park Service might initiate burning in some areas. However, the question of controlled burning will not be decided for several years, Jacobsen said. PHIL IRWIN, noted that RLEP had gone on record favoring wilderness designation for parts of the park in 1971. “In 100 years we may not recognize the park unless it becomes a wilderness,” he said. Irwin said that any members of RLEP who would like for the organization to reconsider their support of wilderness status could contact him and it would be discussed at a later meeting. Art Wright, a resident of Flint Hill, had been invited by Phil Irwin to respond to Jacobsen’s comments on the Wilderness area. Wright works for the Wilderness Society, a forty-year-old non-profit conservation organization, which was instrumental in lobbying for the passage of the Wilderness Act in 1964. Wright fears that the wilderness proposal for portions of the Park suffers from much misunderstanding and misinformation with respect to public use of those areas. However, a mixup resulted in Irwin’s closing the programs before Wright was asked to speak. But Wright talked about the wilderness bill and park administration with a small group of listeners anyway. WILDERNESS designation is supplementary to the reason the Park was established, to be owned and enjoyed by the American people, Wright said. The “purism” approach to managing the wilderness areas is a “bunch of nonsense’ * that only serves to diminish support for the "wilderness proposal," Wright said. There is nothing in the Wilder ness Act that directs the Park Service to close roads or pull out bridges, -.he said. The Wilderness Act would prevent the Park Service from building roads with bulldozers or heavy machinery, but trails could be maintained with hand tools. There is no need for them to become a jungle, Wright said. “Congress intended for people to go into Wilderness areas. People and horses cannot be kept out of the Park for Wilderness reasons,” Wright said. Management decisions for the wilderness area must be based on resource issues, not social issues, Wright said. The Park Service can only limit the number of people using the wilderness areas if the wilderness itself shows signs of overuse, not because they want to provide solitude or a “wilderness experience.” Wright said that Park administrators have a number of problems resulting from overuse, but these problems are overall park problems that can occur in wilderness or non-wilderness areas.□ VIEWTOWN Mrs. John Cloud Sr. is a patient in Culpeper Memorial Hospital.

'Cindy Cumins - LAST Friday night’s dance seemed to be a real success. The turnout was great! In fact, the S.C.A. made over a hundred dollars. The band sponsored a “Name the Band” contest and anyone interested wrote down their suggestions along with their name for the band to look over. The band’s going to decide which they like best and award that person with a T-shirt printed up with the band’s new name. This is the first local band we’ve had for a dance in quite a while and everyone seemed to enjoy them. Mrs. Toth has entered six members oftheR.C.H.S. Creative Writing Society in the Virginia High School League writing contest. There are three entry categories. Those entering the contest are Beth Parker and Maureen Day, poetry; Cindy Cummins and Mark Perdue, short story; Pat Dodson and Andy Nichols, essay. We wish all of them the best of luck!

Fifty cents admission will be charged to those students who want to watch the game. Now the big question is “Who will win the game—the juniors or the seniors?” The answers are varied, to say the least, but we won’t know until Thursday. The money will be divided, 60^, going to the seniors and 40% g°:mg to the juniors. It should be a fun game for the players as well as the spectators. Be sure to tune in next week for the final wrap up of the junior senior game or the senior junior game. Rank holds priority, I guess.

The guest speaker will be Mr. Frank S. Walker, Vice Chairman Madison County Planning Commission. His subject Madison County response to the proposed Wilderness Area Plan for Shenandoah Hational Park. The public Is invited.

Letters to the editor Pro-W ilderness Editor: As an interested reader of your recent articles and letter regarding the wilderness proposal in the Shenandoah National Park, I would like to inject several comments and observations. First, I would like to commend Mr. Wright for his fine letter in the March 6 edition of the Rappahannock News. It went a long way in clarifying many of the misconceptions that had arisen as a result of the recent work session of the Board of Supervisors. Second, having lived in California, which has both the greatest Vepco .From Page 2 it really breaks us up to walk across our land and realize how really hilarious such despoilation can be. Good, clean fun, that’s what we like. And every two months when we get our electric bill from Potomac Edison, nearly double what it was last year, we join with tens of thousands of other customers of PE and Vepco in one long belly laugh. I’m sure that Mr. McCammond and the other utility officials, however, can laugh a lot longer than we consumers, because we’re the ones getting shafted, not them; because when costs go'iip they can simply pass along all the added costs to us; because they have maintained high stock dividends despite the dwindling economy; because no ugly new powerlines are being shoved through their back yards; and because we the consumers pay their substantial salaries, their expenses, and are forced to pay for big new construction facilities that aren’t even needed. It isn’t really funny, Mr. McCammond. I’m sorry I can’t laugh with you.

Magnificent Yosemite was complete with a camper town, motel and its own supermarket. As a “scenic resource” for the tourist trade, I’m sure this park is unsurpassed. Perhaps Madison could send its County Planning Commissioner there for a short course on how to enhance tourism. The wilderness experience on the other hand was a singular opportunity to find what I feel many of those people in their campers came looking for and sadly never found. It was a chance to turn one’s back on the trappings of civilization and gain a new perspective about what’s really important in oneself. It was a spiritual odyssey that cannot be described but only lived. My final comment to restate what Mr. Wright had said previously, is that we must save our wild unspoiled lands. Preserving 80,000 acres of land is very little compared to what’s buried under super-highways, supermarkets and super-suburbia every year. Will our progeny look upon us with scorn as the generation that thought more of the tourist trade than the preservation of their natural birthright? Jerry W. Martin, M.D. Washington, Va.

The proposals are to increase the local coin rate for paystations from IOC to 20£ and/to charge 20C for calls to Directory Assistance Service in excess of three calls a month except for calls from coin telephones, hospitals, hotels, motels, and from handicapped customers who are unable to use a telephone company directory. The proposed charges were first filed by The Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company of Virginia, however, because of the interest in the proposals indicated by other telephone companies, and because of the statewide nature of these services, the Commission has expanded its investigation of such proposed charges to include all telephone companies operating in the State. A public hearing on the proposed rate changes has been scheduled tor iu:uu a.m., April 10, 1975, in the Commission’s Courtroom, Blanton Building, Richmond Virginia. Each telephone company has been directed to file with the Commission’s Division of Public Utilities, on or before April 1, 1975, a written statement regarding the proposed rate changes including information regarding, among other things, the need for such changes, the cost of making the changes, and the additional annual revenue from such changes. The Division of Public Utilities will summarize and tabulate the information received from the companies and present a report at the time of hearing on April 10, 1975. The Commission will determine, after review of the Company’s reports, what further investigation, if any, is needed, and schedule any additional procedural and hearing dates that may be required. Any person who expects to submit evidence, cross examine witnesses, and participate in the hearing as a protestant as provided in Rule 4:6 of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure shall file a Notice of Protest as provided by Rule 5:16 (c).

WASHINGTON NEWS Guests Wednesday of Mr. and Mrs. Kermit Weakley were Mr. and Mrs. Marcel Pfalzgraf of Fairview Beach. Thursday the Weak leys visited Mrs. Matilda Walker at Lord Culpeper Motor Inn and were her dinner guests at Holiday Inn. The Weakleys had as their Medicare card warning METAL or plastic cards sold by some manufacturers are no substitute for official Medicare cards, according to Philip E. Bettendorf, social security district manager in Winchester. “The Social Security Administration mails official Medicare cards to people who have the protection,” he said. “You should always show your official card when you receive services covered by Medicare. It’s a good idea to carry your Medicare card when you’re away from home. If you lose it, you should immediately ask the people at any social security office to get you a new one.” Medicare helps pay the health care ' ? expenses of people 65 and over, of disabled people who have been entitled to social security disability benefits for 24 consecutive months or more, and of many people with chronic kidney disease.

Conservation program SOIL and water conservation practices have been carried out by more than 12,300 Virginia farmers in co-operation with the Rural Environmental Assistance Program (REAP) and the Rural Environmental Conservation Program (RECP) for the 1974 program year. The conservation program is a cost-sharing partnership where the public joins with farmers in conserving and protecting soil, water, forest and wildlife. The conservation program also provides an economic boost to the communities, towns, and cities by providing additional agricultural business. Farmers participating in the 1973 REAP and 1974 RECP con servation programs have enriched Virginia’s countryside by planting trees and improving our forest land; by building ponds for water storage, recreation, and wildlife; by terracing and contouring cropland to control erosion; and by seeding land to permanent grasses to reduce silt from reaching streams, rivers, and lakes. FARMERS in Rappahannock County performed 83 practices under the REAP and the RECP conservation programs for the 1974 program year. There is also one producer who has contracted for a ten-year conservation program under the provisions of the LongTerm Agreement Program. Many people have been by the Bloodmobile The American Red Cross Bloodmobile will be in Washington at the Trinity Church parish hall April 22, from 1 to 6:45 p.m. Luncheon will be served to donors and workers. The extended time will give those who work out of the county an opportunity to take part in this very worthwhile project. Persons 18 years of age may donate blood. It is hoped that young people will take this opportunity to start a program of giving to their fellow man. More information on the blood program and its benefits may be obtained through .the Youth Group.□ COMPLETE ONE-STOP Building Supply Hardware Paint Millwork Lumber WARRENTON BUILDING MATERIAL CO., INC.
