Volume XXVI, Number 23 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA • THURSDAY, APRIL 17, iy75 FIFTEEN CENTS Teacher salary scale School Board balks at different schedule BY PEKAY PETTUS RAPPAHANNOCK County school teachers have asked for a different salary scale. The new scale would cost the school board approximately the same amount that the board has already allocated for instructional salaries in the proposed budget, and would please the teachers much more, according to spokesmen for the Rappahannock Education Association. At their meeting Tuesday night, April 8, school board members told the teachers that they didn’t look favorably upon the teachers’ proposal. Any changes in the budget now would hurt the changes for approval of the budget by the Supervisors and the public, they felt. Mary Kay Moose, chairman of the salary committee of the Education Association, told school board members that the teachers wanted a pay scale in which each increase between “step^” in the scale was the same amount. This County-wide cleanup All signals are go in the countywide cleanup campaign which began early this week and continues through Saturday, with emphasis on Saturday, April 19 for concentrated effort by everyone. Dr. Noel Laing of Amissville heads the cleanup drive with assistance from area captains who will be joined, hopefully, by community residents for a clean sweep along roadsides. Dr. Laing said trash bags will be available in all areas and he advises everyone to wear gloves and comfortable shoes. Workers are advised to be careful of traffic and motorists are asked to look out for these pedestrians. Captains will arrange for trash pickups along the way. The captains are Bill Fries, 937-4274; Granville Eastham, 675-3268; Howard Holschuh, 937-4721; Joyce DeBergh, 675-3677; Katherine Riley, 937-4055; Ike Parrish, 9374652 and Dr. Laing, 937-4444 day or evening 937-5363. Work will be concentrated on the secondary roads since major highways have been cleaned by state personnel. Route 642 from Amissville to Viewtown was cleaned last Saturday by Amissville Cub Scouts and Webeloes.D would mean that some teachers would receive less money as a “step” increase for next year than they would under the current pay scale, but the teachers wanted it this way, Mrs. Moose said. A scale in which the steps are the same would be “in keeping with the same total costs” the school board has proposed for teachers salaries. UNDER THE teachers’ plan, the percentage of salary increase would be added to be base or starting salary. As teachers teach for several years and gain in experience, they are given a “step” increase. Under the current scale —and the one proposed for next year by the school board—the increase for steps can vary from around $200 to more than $300. The teachers say they’d prefer to Know that they will receive the same increase each year. Richard Helmer, and Lynne Baines, an elementary science teacher, told the school board they’d voted in See Page 3 Bloodmobile coming April 22 The Bloodmobile has scheduled a visit to Rappahannock County for Tuesday, April 22 at the Trinity Episcopal Church parish hall in Washington. Hours for donors will be 1 to 6:45 p.m. and blood donations are accepted from persons 18 through 65 years. The extended afternoon hours will enable many people who work out of the county to participate. Members of the Rappahannock Womens Club are assisting with the Bloodmobile visit. If transportation is needed a call to one of the following will solve your problem: Mrs. KentHenry, Castleton, 937-4736; Mrs. Nickey Pal mer, Sperryville, 987-8178; Mrs. Phillip O’Connor, Amissville, 9374156; Mrs. James L. Atkins, Washington, 675-3237. Those who will be helping with registration at the Bloodmobile include Mrs. Josef Gardiner, Mrs. Kitty Dickey, Mrs. Henry Keyser, Mrs. Virginia Miller and Mrs. Jack Carney. Nurses on hand will be Mrs. William Keim and Mrs. Douglas Fairfax. Food will be handled by Mrs. Richard Tuma, Mrs. Hugh Exton, Mrs. W. A. Miller, Mrs. Elmo Flynt and Mrs. M. K. G. Tholand while luncheon for the workers will be under the supervision of Mrs. Ethel Bailey and Mrs. Phyllis Dennis. For additional information contact Mrs. W. A. Miller at Washington or Mrs. Tholand at Sperryville. It is imperative that Rappahannock County maintain its position in the Blood Program of the American Red Cross. To be able to receive blood it is necessary that we donate blood to the blood bank. To keep a balance in the bank it is necessary to make deposits and the deposits are made through the Bloodmobile visits to each area.D Amissville Cub Scouts and Webeloes participated in the Scouts Clean-Up Day last Saturday as proclaimed by the Governor. This group cleaned up the roadsides of Route 642 from Amissville to Viewtown, beginning at 8 o’clock and finishing at 1:30. Cubmaster S.M. Martin Jr. directed the operation with other leaders including Mrs. Phyl lis Hamilton, Donald James, K.M. Wharton, Mrs. Hamilton Coffey and Robert Hamilton. Boys taking part were Johnny Johnson, Alvin Grigsby, Harlon Coffey, Mike Fuel, Gregory Martin, Harvey Hamilton and Pat Story. Graham Hackley at Hackley’s Store in Amissville contributed 45 soft drinks lor the youngsters and leaders.

LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Rural America A CONFERENCE was held this week in Washington, D.C. which was called so that various experts from various parts of the country, and various layers of bureaucracy, could talk about what is wrong with places like Washington, Va. Rural America was the subject of the conference, and the underlying theme of many of the participants seemed to be based on their feeling that rural living is terrible and the bureaucrats should do something about it. There was talk about how to get more federal grants, about how to organize more efficient government, about how to “educate” those ignorant rural people out there in the ways of modern American—which, we suppose, are the ways of wallto-wall carpeting, piped in music throughout the house, garbage disposals in every room, color TV plugged into every outlet, a five or six car garage, and pavement from horizon to horizon. There was talk of increasing rural “opportunities,” as if living out in the country in the fresh air and sunshine and drinking un-recycled water wasn’t opportunity enough. WELL, ALL of this concern about people out in the country is nice, we suppose. Maybe even neighborly. And from the big city newspapers we read, it seems everybody everywhere —even out in those suburban Nirvannas—could stand a little more opportunity for putting a little more money in their pockets. But what is not appreciated is the attitude that somehow rural America is out of step with the times, that the poor people living out there amidst those plowed fields, pastures and woodlands are somehow being deprived of their fair share of the good life, and of how all of these pitiful conditions are something for some bureaucracy somewhere to “improve,” change or pave over. Rural America? It could stand some genuine improvements, as what couldn’t. But applying the bureaucratic approaches which have made such a mess of the nation’s towns and cities won’t help the country, or the country people, a bit.D Letters to the editor Teacher salaries Editor: At the risk of being labeled a pedagogue,I must reply to your editorial in the April 10, 1975 issue of the Rappahannock News. Some of your remarks were very misleading and indicated either an ignorance of school budgeting and school operations or just an attempt to hamper public education in Rappahannock County. One of your arguments for reducing the School Board’s request was that the Board sometimes returned money to the county general fund at the end of the fiscal year. This act showed that there was “fat” in the budget. Another interpretation might indicate good management on the part of the school administration resulting in savings that are returned to the County. More realistically speaking, the money for the schools is appropriated by the Supervisors according to broad categories. Sometimes, since a budget is just an estimate of expenses, a category is underfinanced and the School Board has to ask the Supervisors for more money for that area. Sometimes a category is overestimated and there is money left over. Most often, the overage in one category is applied to the deficit categories and the budget evens itself out. Occasionally, however, money is returned to the county. As to the belt tightening for the teachers—the quoted raise for salaries is 8% which includes the raise and the automatic step increase based on years of experience. If you subtract the step increase you will find that the teachers are receiving a raise of from 4-6%. This small raise follows a year in which the cost of living rose from 12-14% and will not go into effect until August of 1975 after eight months of cost ot living rises for this year. I don’t recall this newspaper coming out with an editorial against the raises the coal miners received, even though these raises were reflected in increased costs to all of us through our electric bills and in other areas. I don’t recall any editorial on the huge profits made by the oil and sugar industries at our expense. We have used all the holes in our belts and have drilled in more until there is no more belt to tighten. Lorenza M.

Letters to the editor Request explained Editor: In the article of April 10, 1975 in the Rappahannock News concerning the School Budget, it was noted that the proposed increase in teachers salary was to be 8%. This figure may be misleading, and the RCEA (Rappahannock County Education Association) wishes to clarify this for the interested citizens of RaDDahannock County. The 8% increase proposed included a cost of living as well as the teachers’ yearly increment. This increment is felt to be earned by each teacher as a result of a year of professional experience. We do not feel that this should be considered in the cost of living increase. Therefore, with the increase in the cost of living, the teachers will be receiving only a 4% base increase, from this proposed schedule of salaries. The county budget has scheduled a 5% increase for all county employes. We strongly believe that non-professionals as well as professionals should be given an equal consideration. Here are a few facts presented for your consideration. For many of us this is our sole income. State requirements also demand that we take courses to keep up the quality of education. This is often done during the summer. Even with the time available to us for summer employment, the economic condition of the country makes employment difficult to find for two months. Therefore, for most of us, our salaries must last us for 12 months. From each monthly salary there is deducted the following items: 1. Retirement, 2. State witholding tax, 3. Federal witholding tax, 4. Social Security, 5. Mandatory Life Insurance. Monthly Health Insurance premiums are deducted for many. This is paid totally by the teacher since there is no subsidy from the school board or the state government. The following are actual examples of figures taken from salaries of teachers in this county. ( A gross income of $7700 for a beginning teacher may seem equitable. But his/her weekly take home salary on a 12 month basis is only $107-109, on a 10 month basis $116-118!

They deserve praise and the backing of all our people. The Cross Country team has been outstanding for several years, and consistently wins its class in the state meet. The Spring teams are also winners. These athletes, like Avis, evidently “try harder.” It is a seven day a week matter that calls for hard work and sacrifice. It is evident that they are proud of their school, their teams, and their coaches. Now for a Believe-it-or-Not! The above is done without the use of a Track. Imagine a baseball team without a diamond, or a basketball team without a gym! That is the case with our track teams—they don’t have a track. It would be fine if some existing County organization would take the lead and get a modest amount of bulldozer work done to at least grade a standard quarter-mile track. The writer will help.

F 0 X School Board balks at different schedule From Page 1' favor of a pay scale that had identical step increases, although both of them would get less money next year than they would under the current step increase scale. L.M. Carter, president of the Rappahannock Education Association, said that “teachers understand that some of them will get less for next year, but those who will receive a decrease voted for this proposal too.” Richard Helmer said the pay scale proposed by the Rappahannock Education Association is “something the teachers have wanted for a long time.” SUPERINTENDENT of Schools O.A. Norton said that Rappahannock offers a higher base salary than most of the surrounding counties but that “we are less at the top than all of them.” Norton told the teachers their proposal*‘would not correct the inequity between Rappahannock and the surrounding counties.” School board member Beverly Massie said that the Supervisors get upset “when the percentage doesn’t work out to be the same for all.” Richard Helmer said the teachers didn’t like the percentage method. “The percentage stays the same but the amount fluctuates,” he said. School board chairman Irvin Kilby said, “I feel we shouldn’t change the setup we already made. The budget has been distributed. I think changes now would be not so good.” Mary Kay Moose said again that the Supervisors would be looking at the same total cost. She didn’t think they would care, as long as it didn’t cost any more and the teachers wanted it. O.A. Norton and Irvin Kilby said they were opposed to the change. ‘“If we change horses in midstream it might jeopardize our chances for getting the budget passed,” Norton said. “We should go through with it this year as it is,” Kilby said. “We shouldn’t tamper with it.” “THE BUDGET is always hard enough to sell, period,” Beverly Massie said. “If we start trying to change it now, credibility will be lost.” ‘‘Well, we can’t resolve this thing here tonight,” Kilby said. “And I’m not in favor of changing it for this year.” Mary Kay Moose said that, as far as she knew, the Supervisors have “no legal right to tell the school board what kind of salary scale to approve.” They were only concerned with the final figure, she said. “They may not have a legal right,” O.A. Norton said. “But they have a political right.” “THEY LOOK at the budget in terms of dollars, but they’re also going to look at us,” Kilby said, stating again that he had no intention of changing the salary scale. “But I’m certainly not interested in having the teachers dissatisfied,” Kilby added. Later in the meeting, the school board members discussed the special meeting on the school budget scheduled for April 22, at 8 p.m. at the court house. Beverly Massie said she thought it was important for people to understand how the school board budget is funded. Some people don’t realize that it doesn’t all come from county sources. Mrs. Massie suggested that the school board prepare a poster “with a pie shape to explain just what size slice” each source of funds provides. Other school board members agreed with that suggestion and another idea of Mrs. Massie’s, to make sure that everyone who comes to the meeting gets a copy of the budget, so they can understand the discussion and ask questions. Irvin Kilby said that the Supervisors had asked for some indication of “priorities” within the budget, especially for capital improvements. He and Norton noted that the school board will have to build a new school bus garage, since the current one has been condemned for highway works; new administrative offices must be found and furnished, since Rappa Salad Bar 2 Hot Vegetables Adults *4.25 Dessert — Baked Chicken Fried Shrimp Roast Pork Steamed Shrimp Tej or Co„M 12.00 • 7:30 p.n.

SCHOOL BOARD members nodded in agreement as Kilby said it was hard to establish an order of priorities because “they’re all important.” Beverly Massie reminded everyone, facetiously, to don their “bullet proof vests” and come to the meeting. In other business, O.A. Norton reported that Rappahannock’s use of the Piedmont Vocation School is increasing. Twenty-five juniors now attending want to return and 35 tenth graders have applied for space on the first year program, he said. School board members approved senior Molly Dennis’s request for permission for a senior class trip. The class wants to visit Gettysburg and the Amish country of Pennsylvannia during the weekend of May 23 and 24. It looks as though 32 of the 68 seniors will go, Molly Dennis said, Mrs. Massie made a motion to grant permission for the senior trip, provided that “ground rules for conduct” are established. Mrs. Arthlinda Quaintance seconded the motion. Two field trips were approved for elementary school students— a trip to Graves Mountain Lodge on June 2 for graduating seventh graders, and a trip to Big Meadows on May 6 for seventh grade science students.

We acknowledge that everyone in our county is feeling the effects of inflationary spiral, but is a 4% increase fair? We do not ask for sympathy, nor do we ask for an outburst of emotionalism.

COMMISSION OF GAME AND INLAND FISHERIES William H. West, Chairman PANTHER TALES Cindy Cumins Walking down the halls at Rappahannock County High School this past Wednesday you might have wondered if time had suddenly taken a giant leap backward—because being there you would have been overwhelmed by the sight of bobby socks, saddle shoes, long pleated skirts and pony tails that adorned the supposedly modern students of the '70s. Well, Rappahannock County High School took a trip back to the ’50s, this week when the SCA sponsored a ’50s day for the student body and faculty. In fact, Wednesday it was hard to tell many of the faculty from the students! The SCA picked the girl and boy with the best ’50’s look and each were awarded $2.50 each. A ’50s dance was sponsored by the SCA during lunch time in the school parking lot where the students were invited to hop or bop or just have a good time. It was a fun day for all, for I’m sure those who didn’t dress had just as much fun watching everyone else in their “50s get-up.” We have a new secretary at Rappahannock County High School now Mrs. Sandra Brown. She was fully initiated to the sometimes chaotic life of R.C.H.S. her first day of work when most of the seniors bombarded the office early Monday morning to pick up their graduation invitations. On behalf of the student body, I’d just like to say “Welcome Sandra.” The industrial arts department still has one more storage barn for sale. The price is $275, and delivery can be arranged. So if you’re interested, please contact the school, preferably in the morning. Have a nice weekend.l_i Spring means baseball and practice is underway at KCHb.

Payne, who departed this life one year ago, April 19, 1974. Mother dear your name we love T’was given you by God above Although one year you’ve been away We miss you more and more each day. So gentle in manner, so patient in pain. Our dear one left us for heaven to gain. With Nature so gentle and actions so kind What a wonderful memory you left behind. Sometimes when our hearts grow weary or our tasks seem very long, When our burdens look too heavy and we can’t go on, Then we gain a fresh new courage, As we rise to proudly say, Let us do our duty, That was our Mother’s way. Thus we keep her memory precious While we never cease to pray, That at last when lengthening shadows Mark the evening of life’s day, They may find us waiting calmly to go our mother’s way.

ASCS farm programs are explained THE Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS) recently issued a complete recap of previously announced farm program provisions. Thomas R. Taylor, chairman, Rappahannock County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee (ASC), said, “While most area farmers are probably aware of major program provisions, we want to assure that all farmers understand the various rates and rules as they progress with field work and planting. A few of the provisions are different from last year, but the basic programs, in effect for 1974, remain virtually unchanged.” “Even though the Nation’s farmers are virtually free to plant what they feel the market prices indicate will be needed, every farmer certainly needs to know where he stands with regard to Federal farm programs,” Taylor said. The highlights of the 1975 programs include: (1) no land setaside or conserving base requirement; (2) no limit on the amount of wheat or feed grains; (3) disaster payments for prevented planting or abnormally low yields; (4) deficiency payments if market prices fall below target prices; (5) acreage allotments used Notice • BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY, VIRGINIA NOTICE William E.

DISASTER PROVISIONS—Under the disaster provisions of the programs, county ASCS personnel must inspect and appraise the damage done to the crop prior to the awarding of payments. “There were some difficulties last year in many areas of the country when farmers plowed under their damaged crops before they notified the county ASCS office,” Taylor said. “When the inspector got to the farm, all he could see was plowed fields, not damaged crops.” Disaster payments are made for two major reasons: prevented planting and low yields. “For farms eligible for prevented planting payment, the payment will be computed on the basis of the farm’s payment yield times the allotted acreage on which planting is prevented,” Taylor said. “To be eligible for an abnormally low yield payment, the total actual production for a crop must be less than the farm acreage allotment for that crop (or planted acres, if smaller) times the disaster program yield. The payment for the farm will be computed on a quantity equal to the difference between the payment yield times the farm allotment (or planted acres, if smaller) and the total actual production.” For information on the provisions of the 1975 farm programs in Rappahannock County, contact the ASCS office.□ NOW THRU TUESDAY Eves, at 7 & 9 p.m. Mats.
