School budget Teacher salaries attract i\pR 25 t9T5 ST A H- _ ust comment BY PEKAY PETTUS EXCEPT FOR teachers, school board members and a few others, nearly all speakers at the “informational meeting” on Rappahannock’s school budget thought the proposed eight per cent raise for teachers’ salaries was too much and came at the wrong time. The economy is in “chaos,” one person said, while another speaker noted that merchants and farmers don’t get an annual “step increase ’ ’ and “cost of living raise. ” Teachers’ salaries received the most attention during the “informational meeting” at Rappahannock County Elementary School Tuesday nieht. T. Granville Eastham said that “more money doesn’t mean better education. A certain amount is required, but when you go into the frill, I don’t think the taxpayers get a fair return on their money.” Eastham said he’d like to see the teachers get the same raise as other county employes. “I don’t see why Ned Jones would get a five per cent raise and the teachers would get eight per cent,” Eastham said, adding that he didn’t know how much Ned Jones would get. It was Eastham who said, “not everybody gets an annual cost of living raise and a step increase,” and he noted there is “no scarcity” of teachers. Pete Luke said that the state compensation committee has said that state employes will receive a 4.8 per cent increase. “They have said there is enough money for that mush increase,” Luke said. NEWBILL MILLER proposed a merit system scale rather than a “longetivity scale” for determining teachers’ salaries. Miller said a prominent black educator had said that such a scale would be the only way to save the school system in Washington, D.C., but the teachers disapproved strongly of his advice. Miller said he felt sure that there are some teachers in the Rappahannock school system who are “way underpaid” and others who are ‘‘way overpaid.” Perhaps it would be possible to devise a system of testing to find out which teachers are doing the best job, Miller said. W.G. Eastham said he could appreciate the teachers’ request for more money. “I think the teachers should be raised some,” he said, adding that “everybody I talk too has been hit one way or another” by the recession. Eastham said a “man with a herd of cattle is worth 50 per cent of what he was 18 months ago.” Supervisor Herbert Foster said he wasn’t against raising salaries, but he was worried, “with the economy the way it is.” Foster said he was concerned about Rappahannock’s “little one-horse farmers, and that’s where the money’s coming from...we don’t have a fixed income.” Foster went on, “Higher education is nice, college is nice, but we’ve got to have somebody to work on these farms.” Foster said he expected that some of the people involved in Watergate “went through college two or three times.” IT WASN’T the only reference to Watergate during the meeting. James A. Rollison said the “educated men just about took over this country, and if it hadn’t been for the 35 turn out for bloodmobile RESPONSE was not what was hoped for when the Red Cross Bloodmovile visited Rappahannock County Tuesday, when 35 people presented themselves as donors. Six of these were rejected. Presenting themselves at the Bloodmobile were: Mary Edna Schaefer, Frances B. Thornton, Jennings W. Hobson, Edward M. Jones, Gladys S. Havstad, Steven D. Alther, Elizabeth L. Streagle, Peter H. Kramer, Thomas B. Massie, Paul A. Nichols, Donald E. Foster, Rayner V. Snead, Grace L. Sims, Jona than A. Watson, Margaret M. Bischoff, Connie J. Huff, Bradford R. Fisher, Patricia R. Lawler, Mary L. Payne, Ellen C. Manson. Patricia A. Alexander, Paul A. Walker, Brenda J. Foster, Wayne E. Niskanen, J.A.B. Dahlgran, Robert W. Haase, Marta A. Tholand, Preston C. Fray, Frances J.W. Carney, Baron F. Dodson, Rebecca S. Patterson, James H. Pullen, Mary C. Parrish, Norma M. Niskanen, Pauline H. Bruce, Rae A. Haase, Sarah C. Latham, James R. Settle, Karen Kuhn, Ellen Mustoe, and Charles H. Freeman.C courts, it would have happened.” Rollison said the school board and the teachers were wrong in asking for an increase at a time ‘‘when the economy is in chaos.” He asked, if school teachers get a cost of living increase, why not farmers and merchants? ‘‘Some people will say this is asinine, I say it’s realistic,” Rollison said. How can the Supervisors expect to raise the taxes on farmers, when many of them have just experienced a 50 to 500 per cent increase in the cost of operating, and as much as a 40 per cent reduction in the amount of sales?” Rollison asked. “You represent all of us, not just a few,” Rollison said, directing his comments to the Supervisors. Irvin Kilby, chairman of the Rappahannock County school board, said, “I’ve scratched around in Rappahannock dirt for a long time,” adding that he’d seen See Page 8 The 50’s were celebrated last week at Rappahannock County High School and among -the activities was a dance in the parking lot.

LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Regionalism SOMETIMES it’s fun to say “I told you so,” but in the case of regional government, we’ll pass up the pleasure. It’s no fun to have your worse fears confirmed by someone else who is skeptical of these non-governmental layers of bureaucracy that are being fostered so busily throughout the land. Readers may recall that this newspaper advised against Rappahannock’s joining one of the regional “planning districts” that were almost literally rammed down local Virginia governmental throats, but the Supervisors decided that maintaining their complete autonomy wasn’t worth the federal and state grants that might be missed. It’s not hard to sympathize with their dilemma, for the regional advocates have indeed rigged things so that local governments can’t receive grant goodies unless they belong to a region. Unfortunately, we haven’t been all that impressed by those goodies, to date. Grant funds have been paying for fingerprinting kits j cameras and radio sets to police officials hither and yon, and there has been a restructuring of some aspects of the welfare bureaucracy, but by and large the grants haven’t been all that breath-taking. AND WHAT about the reg ional concept itself? A Department of Agriculture analyst told last week’s Rural America conference in Washington that a proliferation of regional bureaucracies represents “a threat to self government” because these regions are not subject to control by being operated by elected officials. That’s one of the same points we made when the region which encompasses Rappahannock was being organized. Furthermore,as a Brookings Institute spokesman added at the same conference, these planning districts merely amount to a new layer of government which is supposed to do what county and local governments could not do. The problem, said the speaker, is that most of these districts are made up of the same local officials who were deemed incompetent to handle the job in the first place. So why have them? Except as vehicles for grantsmanship and for creating new bureaucracies — and the bureaucracy has shown an alarming tendency to grow, grow, grow. Regionalism may be some people’s theorectical pet, but from where we sit, strong local government—close to the people and directly accountable to the people—still looks like a better way of doing things.□ Another viewpoint Land use planning “LAND USE PLANNING also embodies much more sophisticated concerns than the simple question of preserving unspoiled areas. Yet here, too, a myth has been fostered that the -environmentalism’ embodied in this notion is a panicky ‘no growth’ philosophy. In fact, a sound land use planning process is rational development’s greatest ally. Far from halting economic advancement, it brings to bear the full force of human ingenuity to assure maximum social productivity in such development. Yes, it would halt some projects—the kind of highly speculative, short-range enterprises which have brought us leap-frog housing development, wasteful transportation patterns, and dying inner cities.—Congressman Morris Udall, Arizona. “Close-ups” Thomas Taylor of Sperryville correctly identified last week’s photo as a stretch watchband.

Letters to the editor Stop littering! Editor: As chairman of the Rappahannock Clean-Up Committee, I would like to thank the many people who donated the time, effort and trucks to help restore the natural beauty of our country side. I would especially like to thank the many young people who helped. It may seem incomprehensable, but well over 1,000 bags of trash were picked up along the roads. Many landowners are proud enough of their farms and houses that they keep their road frontage clean year around. Many others don’t even bother on cleanup day. I urge all citizens to look at their road front. If it is not clean, please pick it up NOW! We ran several spot checks all around the county to see what percentage of the litter was disposables. Eighty-five to 98percent of all trash picked up was disposable beer cans and bottles and half the paper picked up was beer containers. I have nothing against beer, but the empties don’t belong on the roadside. I urge every citizen in Rappahannock County to be litter cons Tag, tax deadline Rappahannock County residents are reminded that the deadline for the purchase of county tags will be next Wednesday April 30 and these windshield stickers must be in place by the following day, May 1. The deadline was extended this year in order that it would coincide with the final day for payment of state taxes. County tags are purchased at the Treasurer’s office in Washington and the office of the Commissioner of the Revenue accepts state taxes filed. Both of these offices will be open Saturday until 11 a.m. to handle the transactions and regular hours continue during the week. This is the last Saturday these offices will be open.D cious and use trash cans. Our county is a beautiful place—let’s keep it that way. N.A.

! 5 E L I T T L E F 0 X Rezoning hearing scheduled for May RAPPAHANNOCK’S Planning Commissioners will host a public hearing at their May meeting on requests for a rezoning and a variance to the subdivision ordinance for the J.L. Williams estate, But it took the planners, and some members of th& audience, a little time Wednesday night (April 16) to come to a consensus on whether or not the public hearing was necessary. Fanning Baumgardner, from the county zoning office staff, told the Commissioners that attorney T.C. Lea had requested the rezoning and variance on behalf of the heirs of the J.L. Williams estate. They want to rezone a tract off Route 626 south of the town of Washington from A-l to RS-1 (residential subdivision). They propose to divide the tract into eight lots, ranging in size from a little more than two acres to more than six acres. Baumgardner said the land is now zoned for no division of land less than 25 acres. If the rezoning were granted, the minimum lot size would be five acres. Several of the proposed lots would not be that size, hence the variance was needed. Baumgardner suggested that the appropriate action for the Planning Commission at this time would be to vote to advertise the requests for public hearing. Chairman Herbert Barksdale didn’t think so. He said he was “under the impression that we would take action here tonight.” Baumgardner said the action taken by the Planning Commissioners had to be based on “information coming out of a public hearing.” NEWB1LL MILLER, former chairman of the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors, was sitting in the audience at the Planning Commission meeting and volun Horn* Improvements Culpeper Planing Mill Aluminum Siding Roofing • Guttering Jalousies • Storm Windows and Doors • Floor Covering Ceiling Tile - Aluminum Awnings Williamsburg Paint Wallpaper Swinuaing Pools 302 S. East St. Culpeper 825-1755 teered his understanding of the law. A hearing is not required in order to turn down a rezoning request, he said. Planning Commissioner Dave Fannon thought Miller was right. “We can’t have a public hearing every time someone writes a letter,” he said. Baumgardner said this was not just a letter, (put an application for a rezoning, and the applicant had paid the $50 fee. Jim White, a member of the District Nine Planning Commission staff, thought the hearing was necessary. He reminded the planners that they didn’t have to have a special meeting, but could hold the hearing at their next regular meeting. Newbill Miller said again, the hearing is unnecessary. The Planners could vote not to approve the request and make that recommendation to the Supervisors. Then if the Supervisors decided not to have a hearing and voted to turn down the request, the applicant had the right to go to court, Miller said. Fanning Baumgardner read a section of the county ordinance that states, the applicant may petition the court if his application is not approved. So, it seemed Newbill Miller’s description of the procedure Was right. Baumgardner had said earlier that an advertised public hearing was necessary so that adjoining landowners .could be informed of a possible change in land use and have an opportunity to comment. But, Baumgardner said he saw Newbill Miller’s point, if no change is made, no one is affected. CHAIRMAN Herbert Barksdale was ready to vote. “What’s the use of all this foolishness? We can’t approve it,” he said. Jim White agreed that the planners would probably vote not to approve the request, said, “I’d hate to see you get knocked down on a procedural matter.” To be safe, the planners ought to have a hearing, White said; besides, he was convinced it was required. “Newbill, you worked on this ordinance pretty near 15 years, what do you think?” Herbert Barksdale asked Newbill Miller. Miller was still convinced that a hearing was necessary only when the zoning law was changed. “Then we’re doing it legally,” Herbert Barksdale said. David Fannon made a motion to deny the rezoning request and Allen Stokes seconded it. It was approved unanimously. The planners went on to other business, but once those matters were taken care of, they came back to the question of the hearing. Fanning Baumgardner had rechecked the zoning ordinance and read another section. From that, it was clear “all opinions must be heard in a legally advertised public hearing” before the planning commissioners can vote. HEARING that, David Fannon laughed. “I’ll withdraw that motion.” Herbert Barksdale smiled and murmured something about “despite the fact we’ve been living illegally all these years, we’ll start being legal now.” Newbill Miller grinned a bit sheepishly. “Mr. Chairman, I was out of order. You do have a right to deny a subdivision variance without a hearing, not a rezoning request.” Baumgardner said the planners could advertise to have the hearing at their next regular meeting and invite the Supervisors to come. Newbill Miller said he thought Supervisor Chairman Pete Luke had said he didn’t want any more See Page 15 V HUBER'S RENTAL PROPERTY RECORD Teaches You How. So Easy to Use! So Inexpensive! Saves Time!

Mental health clinic “IN AN effort to make mental health services more accessible to residents of Rappahannock County,” Rappahannock-Rapidan Mental Health and Mental Retardation Services (Chapter 10) Board has established a part-time clinic in Washington, Va. The special services which one can obtain at this part-time clinic are psychiatric evaluations, psychological testing, and various types of therapy including individual, child, marital and family counseling. In cases where more specialized services than available are needed, a referral to where such services car be obtained will be made. Treatment staff available include a psychiatrist, social worker, and psychologist. It is planned that the services of an alcoholism counselor will also, in the near future, be included in the Washington Clin ic. It is anticipated that the hours of the clinic will be increased as needed. The clinic will be open every Tuesday from 9 a.m. until noon. A person may make an appointment by calling the Rappahannock County Health Department at 6753516 and stating that he or she wants an appointment with the mental health clinic. The offices for the clinic will be in the Trinity Church Parish Hall. THE FEE charged for services is determined by a sliding scale based on an individual’s ability to pay. Treatment will not be denied to any person not able to pay. In addition to the services of this part-time clinic an individual may also obtain services at Culpeper Mental Health Clinic, Fauquier Family Guidance Clinic or from any other program of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Mental Retardation Services Board. The Chapter 10 Board has been planning to extend these services into Rappahannock County for several months “in recognition of the fact that many residents from this county cannot always find the means to travel to one of the Board’s other three centers which are in Culpeper, Orange and Warrenton.” Through an annual grant from the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors and by recruitment of sufficient staff this plan was finally made possible.” “The fundamental principle behind this effort is the desire to make services more accessible to the residents of our community,” said David J. Schwemer, Chapter 10’s executive director. □ We Can Supply All Your BUILDING NEEDS CULPEPER BUILDING & SUPPLY CORP.

Teacher salaries attract most comment From Page 1 the educational opportunities of Rappahannock students increase greatly over the years.” Kilby said he was proud of Rappahannock’s teaching staff, and said raising salaries was necessary in order to prevent a frequent turnover in the teaching staff. That point was emphasized several times by Superintendent of Schools O.A. Norton. Both of them attributed Rappahannock students’ higher statewide test scores to a stable teaching staff. WHEN MONEY is spent on teachers’ salaries ‘‘we’re contributing to our children, our greatest asset...Without children where would we be, what goal would we try to attain?” Kilby asked. Pete Luke noted that Rappahannock had spent the lowest amount per pupil in the state—$668 last year. The budget proposed by the school board would spent $730 per pupil. Buddy Carter, president of the Rappahannock Education Association, said that organization strongly urges the Supervisors to fund the budget as presented by the school board. Carter said that the $1,130,805 requested is indeed a lot of money “in inflated times,” but the Rappahannock Education Association feels the return on the investment would be far greater than the cost. Retired Admiral Josef Gardiner said his air freight business is down 1500 per cent from nearly two years ago. Gardiner said he has 30 employes; three of them with master’s degrees in transportation, but none of them could compare in common sense with their boss, a graduate of Leesburg High School. Gardiner concluded that some people “are educated beyond their mental capacities.” GEORGE DAVIS interjected: “You’re talking about higher education and college; we’re talking about high school.” “You’re not talking about anything, ‘cause I’ve got the floor,” Gardiner told Davis. Davis grinned. Superintendent O.A. Norton said 15 to 20 per cent of the graduates of Rappahannock County High School go to college. “The real need in our school system is for training in skills.” He noted that a big item in the school board budget is Rappahannock’s share for tuition at the Piedmont Vocational School in Culpeper. Norton said the vocational program at the secondary school level is probably more expensive than the academic program. Elizabeth Scherschel said that Rappahannock’s teachers do a“remarkable job” in what is expected of them. She added that teachers should not be expected to teach good manners or health, as some parents assume. Mrs. Scherschel said that vocational costs may not be the responsibility of the school system alone. *■ Herbert Foster said he wondered Introducing . . THOMAS ALAN BARBER Thomas Alan Barber as Sales Representative Clore Pontiac Company proudly introduces Thomas Alan Barber, who recently joined our staff as sales representative. Tom, a native of Alexandria, graduated from Virginia Tech in 1972. He is married to the former Miss Elaine Haught of Elkwood, Virginia. Tom has previous experience in Pontiac sales and invites everyone to stop by to meet him and let him show you the complete line of Pontiacs available at Clore Pontiac Company. CLORE PONTIAC COMPANY RT. 29 SOUTH 825-5900 CULPEPER Car Dealer No. 1622 what is being taught in the schools. A school teacher came to him to buy peaches and didn’t know how many pecks were in a bushel , he said. “Now I ask, where did it fail her?” Foster added that he wasn’t directing his comments to anyone personally, and he wasn’t even sure what county that woman taught in. Granville Eastham said, “We might be getting a little too hard on higher education. When a man with common sense gets a good education, you’ve got a good combination, but it doesn’t help him too often.” E. N. MONTAGUE said some of the complaints that the public has voiced are discussed at almost every meeting of the school board. But the school board is circumscribed by laws enacted by the general assembly, Montague said, suggesting that a great many of the comments he’d heard should be passed dn to the legislators. Montague said that a Democratic system depends on the members of the electorage expressing their views. And the Democratic system can only work with a “reasonably well educated electorate.” Newbill Miller said he was concerned about Rappahannock students’ chances for higher education. He said he didn’t want anyone to get the idea that vocational education is the only thing Rappahannock citizens are interested in. Miller said “it is my observation that the SAT scores of the top five per cent of Rappahannock’s seniors rate in the bottom 25 per cent of test scores earned by students entering in the better state colleges.” SUPERVISOR Richard Latham said he agreed with the speakers who had said that “dollars spent don’t equal quality education.”But Latham said he also sympathized with Montague’s comment that many of the school board’s actions are circumscribed by the General Assembly. Boyd Brown of Amissville said he feels education “is a fine thing; you couldn’t run the country without it. But while you’re getting an education, you must stop to think what Rappahannock’s going into. “I don’t blame the teachers for getting all you can, but has Rappahannock County ever stopped to think, where are we going with taxes?” Brown said. At 71 years old, Brown said, “I understand what it takes to have something, but now, whatever you get, it goes in taxes.” Brown said, “Instead of raising taxes, you ought to be lowering them.” PETE LUKE assured Brown and others that the Supervisors agonize over taxes. “Not a member of this board is for higher taxes,” Luke said. Esther Settle said, “It’s too bad taxes and education are all mixed up, but I know it has to be that way.” Mrs. Settle said she knows Rappahannock has to be competitive in teachers’ salaries. T. Granville Eastham asked Norton how Rappahannock County rates in “ability to pay.” There are not many counties in Virginia that rate higher in ability to pay, Norton said. He noted that “ability to pay” is based on the assessed value of real estate in the county. Norton said that in eight years he’d been working in Rappahannock County, the value of real estate had risen from around $15 million to more than $100 million. Herbert Foster said he’d like to “shed a little light” on Mrs. Settle’s comment that Rappahannock’s teachers’ salaries had to be competitive, Fauquier and Warren are “rich counties,” Foster said, and can afford to pay more. Delores Dalton said that she voted and paid taxes at the local, state and national level, and she wouldn’t object to a tax increase. She recommended that the budget be adopted as the school board recommended. 0. A. NORTON said that the school board budget would be increased over the current budget, even if the teachers didn’t get an increase. The cost of services has gone up, he said. Norton said there is “double jeopardy” in failing to adopt the budget. “If there is a reduction in the county share, the state won’t pay its share. Jennings Hobson said he understood that Rappahannock County was ranked as third in the state in ability to pay and at the bottom in performance to pay. Pete Luke said that the Supervisors are only responsible for adjusting “the bottom line.” How the school board allocates that money “is their business.” Superintendent 0. A. Norton told the audience that only 47 per cent of the amount of money required to fund the budget would come from local tax funds, 23.9 per cent comes from state school funds, 15.3 from the state sales tax, 3.6 from the funds due state, 4.3 per cent from federal sources and .5 per cent from miscellaneous funds. In addition to the teachers’ raises, Norton noted a major increase in the budget is for administration. Next year, Rappahannock County, which has shared administrative costs with Warren County since 1918, will have a separate school superintendent and office. This means additional salaries, for a superintendent, assistant and secretary. It also means that the school board will have to obtain office and storage space. Norton noted that the costs of providing public transportation to the schools have risen sharply and that Rappahannock will have to replace two school buses this year. Norton said that teachers’ salaries in Rappahannock are less than those in surrounding counties at the “top” of the scale, and slightly higher than some counties at the bottom of the scale. He said that the cost of living increase for the past year had been 12 to 14 per cent, and the school board’s proposed budget reflected a 12 per cent increase, while proposed teachers’ salaries for next year only reflected an eight per cent increase.□ IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of our dear mother and wife, Anna R.

Rezoning From Page 3 joint public hearings. “He said he didn’t want any more after he got a letter from me saying I don’t want any more,” Herbert Barksdale said. Barksdale said he’d agreed to a joint hearing, “but I’m still not mad about them.” The Planners decided to have the hearing at their, next regular meeting; the Supervisors will have their own hearing on the planners recommendation. IN OTHER business, Walter Masterson reported on the study he and Fanning Baumgardner have made on the Erosion and Sedimentation Control Ordinance. Such an ordinance is required by state law, to minimize the damage from “land disturbing” activities. Masterson said that his conversations with county residents had convinced him that most people “just want to comply” with the minimum standards and “do very little else.” Baumgardner said that it is up to the developer or builder undertaking activities covered in the ordinance to engage the expertise to develop a plan of what steps are to be taken to minimize erosion and sedimentation problems. The developer would be required to put up a bond to insure that money is available to make the “improvements” work outlined in the plan, provided the developer fails to make them himself. The planners decided to reduce the bonding fee for work done in agricultural district, where the slope is less severe. The bond will be held until a year after the project is completed. The Supervisors must adopt the Erosion and Sedimentation Ordinance before July 1, so the planners must have the ordinance drafted and ready for hearing before the Supervisors meeting in June.—Pekay Pettus The Laundry Room The word Laundryroom—to a housewife—conjures up a dark image of a hard day’s work ahead in the castle’s deepest dungeon. Many laundry equipment manufacturers have taken that image and discarded it. Now, they say, put the laundry anywhere you want and in any color complementing your decor. “No longer is it necessary for the housewife to trudge to the farthest comer of the cellar,” according to Janet Felmeth, director, Westinghouse Home Economics Institue. Amont the suggestions offered by Ms. Felmeth are: Although the basement may be the favorite location, it is not the most convenient area. The bulk of the family wash collects in the bedroom-bathroom area and is the most logical spot for laundry equipment. It is not necessary to have a large area to provide a good laundry center. Sixteen square feet can be adequate. If the bathroom is small, there are stackable washer and dryer units. When the dryer isn’t in use, it can be utilized as a hamper for dirty clothes. If, for example the bathroom is large, a new area can be created along an unused wall. Laundry equipment can be conveniently put side-by-side and concealed by sliding doors when not in use. Storage space and countertops for sorting, folding and laundry products should be nearby. Remember: cabinets are better than shelves because the doors will help deep down the dust that accumulates. Don’t be a Scrooge on good lighting in the laundry area. A combination of overhead fixtures and recessed lighting over work areas is best. You’ll need good lighting to check clothing for stains and for reading the instructions. It also saves your eyesight. For homes with a great deal of space an ideal laundry center would be a separate room and would include besides the laundry equipment, a sink, countertops for sorting, cabinets, an ironing center, a built-in sewing machine and space for sewing accessories. No matter which laundry layout is created, there are certain installation requirements that have to be considered. Plumbing and draining is needed for the washer. The washer will also need a 115-volt electrical connections. There is no basic difference to the performance of electric or gas dryers so relative purchase prices and operating costs determine which you should choose. A 230-volt line must be installed for the majority of electric dryers. Gas dryers run on 115 volts but need a gas line. “So much for the castle’s dungeon,” Ms. Felmeth continued. 1 r EARLY’S CARPET SALES A SERVICE S LARGE DISPLAY OF NATIONALLY KNOWN BRANDS IMPORTED ORIENTALS ALSO REMNANTS Featuring BARWICK PATCRAFT MASLAND MOHAWK ALEXANDER SMITH RESIDENTIAL COMMERCIAL BUDGET TERMS CUSTOM DRAPERIES - SLIPCOVERS (MADE LOCALLY) CUSTOM & STOCK WINDOW SHADES WALL-TO-WALL CARPET INSTALLATIONS VISIT OUR SHOWROOM OR CALL I- UK EXPERT RUG CLEANING SHOP AT HOME SERVICE Call 937-4404 or 825-8232 128 S.

Our art students set up a display of sculpture done in art classes this six Weeks for the enjoyment of the student body. They added an interesting and artistic touch to school this week which I am sure everyone appreciated. Much of the sculpture was non objective while other pieces were more conventional...Hope they decide to display their work more often. It’s a treat. Our baseball team is really staying on top this season.

Sunday dinner guests of the Quaintances were Mr. and Mrs. RAPP CHATS By RAP OWINGS Extension Agent, Agriculture FEEDER CATTLE PRICES—Here is a brief run down on prices received for the 815 head of feeder calves and yearlings sold at the Culpeper Agricultural Enterprises Spring Sale last Thursday, April 17. As in last Fall’s sales, weight had very little influence on prices received. 1000 pound yearlings were commanding about the same price per pound as 400 pound calves. 400-1000 pound steers—Choice, $32.00-36.75; Good, $32. <5-36.<5; Medium, $28.00-34.25; All Steers averaged $34.40. Heifers—Choice, $25.00-28.00; Good, 21.00-28.50; Medium, $20.oU24.25. (1 pen of 8 head Medium Heifers - $16.25) All Heifers averaged $25.13. Steer prices were several cents a pound above prices received in midwestern auction markets and the feeder cattle future market. Heifer prices are about the same as the Western Auction Markets. CLEARING HOUSE—At the agriculture committee meeting of R.L.E.P., several farmers suggested that the Extension Office serve as a clearing house for agriculture. We will give it a good try and if response justifies the venture, we will continue it. Here is an example of how the Clearing House will work. Let’s say you have pasture that you want to rent. Give us a call at 675-3610. We will take down information such as acreage and estimated carrying capacity. Miss Ruby Jenkins will type it on a 3”x5” card and post it on the bulletin board. At the same time she will tell you the name and address of people looking for pasture. Right now we have people looking for pasture to rent ranging from 60 to 300 acres. The Clearing House would work in the same manner for farmers who wanted to swap, sell or buy bulls. And in season, it could serve as a method of bringing buyers and sellers together for hay and corn. Of course, the Extension Office will not'become involved in price or be responsible for quality. SHEEP SHEARING—Its time to shear sheep.

The practices in the county conservation program are subject to a review by the State Program Development Group and approval by the State ASC Committee.

Need is the priority rather than grades and it will be given this year only. The student may be just entering college or may already be in school and need the funds to remain there. Anyone interested in applying may contact Mr. Futtrell, Guidance Counselor at the local high school or Rapley 0wings at the Rappahannock Extension Office.
