c ‘Seed money’ asked for aging agency RAPPAHANNOCK’S Supervisors have Seen asked to allocate $414 of the county budget for “seed money” to help establish an “agency on aging” to serve residents of the counties in Planning District Nine. The Supervisors responded to the ‘ ‘agency on aging’ ’ much as they did to other budget requests brought before them at their meeting last Thursday: They assured the supporters of edch program that they agree “It’s a fine thing,” but made it clear they aren’t about to raise taxes to fund all of them. Tom Helsel, “human resources planner” for Planning District Nine, told the Supervisors that the “agency on aging” would encourage and develop programs to bring about solutions to the problems of senior adults. The “agency on aging” was the .central recommendation made in a “comprehensive plan” on aging prepared by Hel&el with the help of an advisory council made up of residents from District Nine. Helsel asked Rappahannock’s Supervisors to appoint two members to a board of directors for the agency and to appropriate $414 in “seed money” to get the agency started. Helsel said there are 886 people over 60 years old in Rappahannock County, according to census figures, and all of them would be eligible to take advantage of any programs offered through the area wide “agency on aging.” SUPERVISOR Pete Luke wanted to know if there would be any benefit from the proposed “agency” over existing public assistance programs. Helsel said “there is quite a need now for co-ordination of existing services.” Mrs. W.A. Buntin, who heads Rappahannock’s welfare program, said that such co-ordination could occur only after such an agency was created. The need for an agency on aging is “basic and essential,” she said. Pete Luke asked if there’d been “any inquiries from the aging” about the services of the proposed program. Mrs. Buntin said the “responses of people to the quesSee Page 15 County help for library requested MARY JAMIESON apologized to Rappahannock’s Supervisors last Thursday when she made her annual plea for the library budget. “We knew you are beleaguered on all sides for an increasing share of the county tax dollar,” she said, but added that the financial needs of Rappahannock’s public library are more pressing than ever. This year the library needs $5,150 from the county to make up the difference between the library’s anticipated operating expenses for next year, $9,741, and the amount of money the directors can raise. “We have begged and pleaded, used friendship and clout, for five years in order to get extra help Apple trees laden with white and pink blossoms spread over the hillsides in Rappahannock. The bloom is heavy and the bees are busy. Apple blossoms frame the storage house and empty bulk fruit bins which await the crop at the orchards of Wade H. Massie III. for the library from a handful of generous people,” Mrs. Jamieson went on. “We cannot expect these few to go on giving each year to support the free public library. We ask the county to assume its responsibility.” Mrs. Jamieson said she was aware that this is “a period of curtailed economic growth,” but during such a time, a free public library becomes a more important factor of community life, she said. People use the library, not just to come in out of the cold, but “in hopes of getting free answers to economic problems and philosophic questions as well as for good cheap entertainment,” she said. The number of library card members at Rappahannock’s Library has grown quickly. The circulation of books and other library materials in 1974 increased 48% over 1973; in 1973, circulation had increased 47% over 1972, Mrs. Jamieson said. “RAPPAHANNOCK’S free public library is being used extensively by the whole county, young, middle and old, from every district,” Mrs. Jamieson said. But she noted, in order to keep expenses to a minimum, the library is only open 30 hours a week. Rappahannock’s is the only library in Virginia not open the minimum number of hours recommended by the State Library Association. They have renewed their exception, and will allow the Rappahannock Library to be a member of the state association again next year, even though the library will only be open 30 hours a week. “They will not renew this next year,” Mrs. Jamieson said. She noted that during the past year the library acquired and cataloged 1,450 new books, bringing the total active collection to approximately 8,000 books. One hundred and seventy-seven students participated in the library’s book review contest; and two new services were introduced—a music See Page 4

LATHAM, Managing Editor Trr— Washington «75-U4> Cockeyed taxes EVERY county around here is going through a familiar annual agony—how to finance necessary county services, mainly education, without bankrupting land owners. The problem is more severe in the more suburbanized counties such as Prince William and Loudoun, but it’s a problem of mounting proportions in Fauquier and even more rural Rappahannock as well. It’s a problem because Virginia counties are forced to raise money for their most expensive responsibility by taxing land and real property. It’s a cockeyed situation which Virginia simply must deal with if its farmers are not to be wiped out entirely. They ve already, by and large, been put out of business in Prince William, so it is no surprise that when the Board of Supervisors in that hapless county proposed what some people considered to be an “austere” school budget, there was an outpouring from the suburbs, demands that the Supervisors “tax me more” to pay for “quality education.” What do suburbanites care about real estate taxes? They don’t make their living from their real estate, and in any event, they’re right about their county taxes being relatively light. But when the same taxing formulas are applied to vast farming acreages, with no consideration given to the fact that farmers earn their living from those fields, the system breaks down. So-called Landuse Relief is of marginal-help, but the fact remains that real estate taxes geared to suburbanite notions about how school systems should be financed can run a farmer clean out of business, and in the political numbers game of budget hearings, the farmer’s voice is increasingly drowned out as the ranks of the suburbanites swell. SOMETHING has got to be done about this lopsided taxation system in Virginia, me state has simply got to provide more taxing latitude to counties, or else assume a much larger burden of school financing based on something more realistic than real estate taxes. Many taxing experts still feel that income taxes, based on earnings (and, naturally, with as few “loop.holes” as can be devised), are the fairest way of raising money for all public projects. It certainly isn’t fair to tax an important segment of our population — farmers — out of business, just to provide for the often inflated notions (and inflated bureaucracies) of local school systems, and those who mindlessly equate “quality education” with “more money.”□ Traffic deaths register decline VIRGINIA'S 1975 traffic deaths for the first three months of the year showed a slight decline when compared with those for the same period of 1974. says Colonel H.W. Burgess. Superintendent of State Police. The 1975 total was 218 while that for 1974 was 227 but Colonel Burgess said the gap would be narrowed due to late reports and deaths of persons now carried as injured. However, he noted that the reduction was achieved in the face of a rise of about six percent in traffic volumes and that the death toll for all of 1974 was the lowest annual one since 1964. Pedestrian deaths were down from 35 to 33, those of motorcyclists from eight to three and those of servicemen from 10 to four. Deaths of Jhcyclists rose from none to two.G “Close-ups” No one identified the seam in a tin can pictured last week so we will let you try this one.

Vepco ‘adjustment’ factor to decline THE “fossil fuel adjustment factor” now being paid by customers of Virginia Electric and Power Company will decline in May. Robert S. Gay, Vepco manager of rates, said the fuel adjustment for Virginia jurisdictional customers billed on a monthly basis will dip below a penny per kilowatthour for the first time since January, or about 27 per cent below the March peak of nearly 1.3 cents per kilowatthour. Gay said a residential customer using 750 kilowatthours per month in May will pay $7.03 in fuel adjustment charges, a decrease of $2.62 from that paid for the same amount of electricity in March. Tlie same customer’s total monthly bill will decrease about eight per cent, from $31.80 in March to $29.18 in May, he said. The major reasons for the de cline, Gay said, are the “increased proportion of nuclear and mine mouth generation, along with above normal hydroelectric generation, which reduced Vepco’s dependence on oil and coal units located in Virginia.” Refueling on one Surry unit is currently under way; the unit will return to service in five to six weeks. THE FOSSIL fuel adjustment factor allows the company to pass along to customers any increase or decrease in the cost of fossil fuel. The fuel factor is currently based on the cost to Vepco of the fossil fuel used over a threemonth period ending the second preceding month. The May factor is based on the cost of fossil fuel used by the company during January, February and March. The fossil fuel adjustment clause went into effect in Virginia in June 1972. V A insurance deadline AUGUST 1, 1975 is the deadline for 2.7 million Vietnam-era veterans who served on or after April 3, 1970, and before August 1, 1974, to apply for low-cost group life insurance from the Veterans Administration. Veterans Group Life Insurance (VGLI) is available in increments of $5^000 to a maximum of $20,000. For persons 34 and under, the monthly premiums are 85 cents for $5,000; $1.70 for $10,000; $2.55 for $15,000 and $3.40 for $20,000 insurance cov er-age. For persons 35 and over, the premium rates for the same amounts of coverage are $1.70; $3.40; $5.10; and $6.80 respectively. Applications are available from any VA office, veterans service organization or county veterans service officer. “THESE eligible veterans should seriously review their insurance needs for the protection of their families, and make application now for this low-cost policy,” Edwin L. Pomeroy, Veterans’ Claims Agent, advises. Persons who take out VGL1 may convert to an individual policy with one of the many participating commercial insurance companies at standard rates, regardless of health, at the expiration of the VGLI coverage, Pomeroy stresses. Completed applications, first month’s premium payment and proof of service must be submitted by August 1, 1975 to Office of Servicemen’s Group Life In- * surance, 212 Washington Street, Newark, N.J. 07102.D CHURCH NOTICE Mothers Day please come with us to the Promise Land Baptist Church to worship with Rev.

Library help asked From Page 1 lending department with records and cassets, and a 16 mm movie projector with sound equipment, available for evening use in the library. Mrs. Jamieson noted that the librarian only works part time, the rest of the time, the library is staffed with volunteers. PETE LUKE said he realized the library had tried just about every “gimmick” there is for fund raising, but he had a suggestion. Luke noted that a considerable number of Rappahannock residents don’t live in the county full time. “You might look them up and start a pledge or subscription campaign—a ‘Friends of the Library’ program, or something,” Luke said. “At least, that’s a source that might be tapped,” Luke said. “That’s agoodidea,” Mrs. Jamieson said. She noted that each of the Supervisors were among the 125 people who contributed to the library. “But we can’t expect the same horses to always pull the load,” she said. Mrs. Jamieson noted that if the library has to cut back on hours, in order to save on expenses, they will lose federal and state aid. The reason the ex ception allowing Rappahannock to be open only 30 hours a week was renewed is, “they know we’ve done one of the best jobs in Virginia on coming up from small usage.” DOROTHY DAVIS told the Supervisors that she hadn’t spent any of the $300 the Supervisors had appropriated last year for the Bicentennial. “But I’ll be spending $50 soon,” she said. After Mrs. Davis briefed the Supervisors on plans for the Bicentennial, George Davis remarked; “It might not cost the county anything, but I hate to think what it’s costing me.” “That’s okay,” H.B. Wood said. “Let’s place the cost on those who can most afford it.” Mrs. Davis reminded the Supervisors that they have been asked to appoint two people from their district to serve as directors of the county-wide Bicentennial program. □ Benefit AUCTION SALE SATURDAY, MAY Wat 11 AM.

PANTHER TALES Cindy Cumins WELL, annuals finally arrived last week and were given out to the Seniors at a special assembly Tuesday morning. The rest of the students picked theirs up during the lunch shifts. The theme of the annual this year is “Reaching, Climbing, Hoping, Shining” and it is dedicated to Miss Ann Spieker, our girls PE teacher and girls track team coach, for her endless work and dedication as a teacher, promoter and leader of girls sports at RCHS. A special dedication was made to Ms. Pomeroy, the annual’s sponsor, by the staff, to show their appreciation for her time and caring, which has enabled them to produce one of the best annuals ever! The highlight of last weekend for many Juniors and Seniors was the prom which- was held Saturday night. The Juniors put in a long evening’s work Friday decorating and preparing the gym from 3:10 to midnight. The efforts seem to pay off, for all seemed to really enjoy themselves. The band was great, which made the evening even nicer. The theme of the prom was “Color My World” which is very fitting, for I think the prom brightened up at least the weekend for many! Our annual athletic banquet will be held soon though a date has not yet been set. AT THIS writing our baseball team has played two games so far this week. Monday was our last game when the Panthers played Montevideo. It was a close game though our opponents managed to pull ahead in the last couple of innings. We were defeated 5-3. Our Panthers received a lot of spectacular support which was really great. Tuesday’s away game with Elkton did not bring a victory again for RCHS. However the score was close with a final 4-3. Hang in there Panthers—we’ll make the playoffs yet. Both our boys and girls track teams competed in district meets last week—both bringing back results we were proud of. Nine of our girls placed in the meet. They were Katie Pendleton, Margaret Jett, Connie DelGrasso, Maureen Day, Mary Hudson, Donna Cannon, Faye Dunn, Mae Dunn and Marie Fletcher. The second placed fourth out of seven. New school records were set in the mile relay and by Connie DelGrasso in the hurdles. All of the participants mentioned above will go to the regional meeting Saturday at Stonewall Jackson High School from 10 a.m. til 2 p.m. Good luck girls—we wish you the very best. Our boys track team made a sensational showing at the Skyline District meet taking first place with a score of 51 and bringing home a trophy. There were ten schools competing. Placing were Bill Taylor, Jerry Thomas, Raymond Groves, Andy Nichols, Milton Fletcher, Roger Roberts, Don nell Carter, Ronnie Nicnoison ana Jim Lum. Bill Taylor was first in the mile and two mile and Raymond Groves took first in the 440. Raymond was also anchorman in the mile relay. All other placings were basically second and thirds. Bill chalked up 12 points and Raymond was close behind with 11. Jim Lum and Raymon Groves set new school records in the pole vault and long jump, respectively. Congratulations, guys — what can we say except “we couldn’t be prouder!” FRIDAY IS the regional meet to be held at Montevideo beginning at 1. Wish you the best of luck, Panthers. P.S. Don’t forget the senior play Thursday and Friday nights at 8 p.m. instead of the previously announced time.D WOMEN’S SOCIETY The Women’s Society of Flint Hill United Methodist Church will meet at Mrs. Moe Walker’s home Monday, May 19, at 7:30 p.m. Mary Confer Hudson escorted by Jackie Estes were among the young people enjoying the Junior-Senior prom Saturday at the local high school.

Gourmet thief BY PEKAY PETTUS RAPPAHANNOCK County Sheriffs deputy Ronnie Hawkins handled a breaking and entering and grand larceny case a week or so ago, just like any other. He made an investigation, took fingerprints and maintained a “stake-out” near the house for several hours at night. But Hawkins won’t be bringing charges or making arrests; the thief was a bear. After this experience, Ronnie Hawkins finds he has far more respect for bears than he did before. Not only are they smart, they’re choosey, he said. All told, during a number of trips to the freezer on the back porch at Sam and Helen Snead's in Gid Brown Hollow, the bear made off with 14 chuck roasts, a couple of pork roasts, four gallons of ice cream, several long loaves of French bread, some wild berries the kneads had picked and some bags of store-bought vegetables, including brussels sprouts and corm “The Sneads found some traces of paper up on the mountain after one of the earlier trips,” Hawkins said. “The bacon was evidently too salty for him. They found a slab he bit off of and dropped. He didn’t touch the rest of the bacon in the freezer when he came back,” Ronnie Hawkins said. “HE JUST wiped ’em out of berries. They had picked the berries and wrapped them in clear paper—something like Handi-wrap —to freeze. But the roasts, I don’t know how he could tell what they were, they were wrapped in freezer paper,” Ronnie Hawkins said. “But the vegetables, they were bought at the supermarket. The bags had little pictures on them, so 1 guess he could identify them. “The morning Helen (Snead) called me, she was real upset. When they got up they found the top to the freezer open and more food was missing. I tried to take fingerprints on the chrome handle of the freezer, but the prints had been messed up and it was excessively dirty. Inside the freezer, in the frost on the side wall, there was a lot of dirt, mud and some scratch marks. I thought at the time it might be a bear and those were paw prints in the frost, but I didn’t say anything because she (Helen Snead) was real upset and I thought she might think I was crazy or something.” SO RONNIE Hawkins, who lives just down the road from the Sneads, kept a “stake-out” on the house for a couple of hours one night. “The bear came back; must of been after I’d gone, because I never saw anything. Helen called me the next morning and told me he woke them up during the night. Sam had to go scare him off the back porch.” Sam Snead is the son of Judge Rayner V. Snead. “I tell you, l sure am glad I didn’t arrest any suspects,” Hawkins said. “Can’t you imagine the lawsuit they would have slapped on us!”D BIRTHDAY PARTY Nancy Proctor, daughter of Mrs. Steve DeMent celebrated her 7th birthday May 5 at her home “Fair Lawn” in Sperryville. Guests included Kevin and Karen Harrison, Romni, Ashley and Whitney Palmer, Chris and Tina Kozik, Wendy Marr, Christy Pendleton, David Beck and Margaret Carter.

Speeding arrests up STATE Police arrests for speeding during the first quarter of 1975 were sharply up, reports Colonel H. W. Burgess, the Department’s Superintendent. Colonel Burgess noted that these arrests numbered 53,322, a substantial increase over the 28,664 and 31,960 for the same periods of 1973 and 1974. He said 1975 speeding arrests, which include all types of speed violations and not only those of the 55 mile per hour limit, numbered 16,261 in January, 17,295 in February and 19,766 in March. Deaths for the first three months of 1973 numbered 258, for 1974 227 and for 1975 220. Traffic volumes for the 1975 period were about six percent above those for the same period of 1974. COLONEL Burgess added that 7,739 of the 1975 arrests were against drivers of commercial vehicles and that the Department now has 108 of the new mobile radars in use. These devices, he explained, operate from a moving patrol car and can register the speed of an oncoming car, giving an audible signal if the driver is in violation. □ RETIRED TEACHERS Rappahannock Retired Teachers ' Association will hold a meeting at the Quality Courts Restaurant, Front Royal on Tuesday, May 13 at 12:30 p.m. This is a luncheon meeting and members were urged to attend by Mrs. Mozelle Carver, Secretary-Treasurer. River coalition A COALITION of local groups and individuals in the RapidanRappahannock river basin is forming to provide the Virginia Commission on Outdoor Recreation with citizen’s views of the study of the two rivers. The coalition hopes to serve as a clearinghouse for information on the Rappahannock and the Rapidan rivers, and aid the COR in its study to see whether the rivers should be designated state or federal scenic rivers. The COR has planned two public meetings to provide interested citizens with information. The first one is May 14 at the Brooks Park Activities Center in Falmouth, and the other is May 15 at the Culpeper County High School auditorium. Both start at 7:30. George L. Newman, temporary coordinator for the coalition, has written Rob Blackmore, COR Director, to offer assistance in the scenic river study and to provide the COR with views of local citizens. The coalition, which already has attracted interest from the Stafford Jaycees, Float Fishermen of Virginia, Rappahannock Defense Committee, and the Fredericksburg chapters of the League of Women Voters and the Izaak Walton League, asks all interested groups and citizens to play a role in determining the future of the Rappahannock and Rapidan rivers. Information may be obtained by writing George Newman at P.O. Box 461, Fredericksburg, 22401.

Wakefield school plans expansion Wakefield Country Day School, Huntly, has announced plans for a building expansion to begin in June. Plans call for the construction of a 300-seat auditorium, six new classrooms, locker rooms and library and office extensions. According to school officials the expansion is necessitated by an increasing enrollment, which is expected to reach 100 students in grades 1-8 next year. Wakefield, a privately owned and operated school, is attended by students from Rappahannock, Warren and Fauquier Counties.□ ANNOUNCEMENT I shall be an independent candidate for reelection to the House of Delegates subject to the general election on November 4, 1975. The steep increases in electric rates are a great hardship on many people and it is my hope that as a result of the studies now underway by legislative committees, the Governor’s commission and consumer groups, there can be some action by the State government which would be practical and constructive and of some help in reducing the cost of electricity. The present formula enacted in 1974 for the distribution of state public school funds to counties which considers per capita income in the county as well as real estate values is substantially more equitable than considering real estate values only and I favor the maintenance of the essential parts of the present formula. I shall continue to work for highway improvements to meet the needs in this area. I greatly appreciate the support given my by the people in the past and I respectfully solicit the support of the voters of this district. D. FRENCHSLAUGHTER, JR. Paid Political Advertisement

Tick fever problem growing in state THE RECENT upsurge of reported cases of Rocky Mountain spotted fever in the United States is causing health officials to look with growing concern at the lowly tick — the principal vector, or transmitting agent, of the disease to man. Virginia’s 135 cases of spotted fever last year topped all other states in the Nation, and North Carolina was second with 113. Tennessee’s 66 cases ranked fourth behind Oklahoma. “It’s apparent that ticks are becoming more of a problem,” says Dr. Joseph C. Cooney, an entomologist with TVA’s Water Quality and Ecology Branch in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. ‘‘From 1954 through 1968, the number of cases of spotted fever in the United States was less than 300 a year. But since 1969, spotted fever has increased to the point where 774 cases were reported nationally last year.” Lavonne Adkins wins in poster contest LAVONNE ADKINS, a fifth grade student at Rappahannock County Elementary school, received top honors for her poster “Conservation, What Can I Do?” Miss Adkins was awarded a certificate at the Virginia Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts Area II meeting held in Culpeper on April 30. Miss Adkins’s poster was selected as the best in the Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District. This competition involved fourth through sixth grade students in Rappahannock, Orange, Greene, Madison and Culpeper Counties. The poster was then judged as best in the six Soil and Water Conservation Districts in northern Virginia. Now the post er will be entered in statewide competition. EACH YEAR the Virginia Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts sponsor this poster contest and two essay contests. The themes are changed annually. The poster contest is for students in grades 4 through 6 while the essay contest is in two divisions with one for grades 7 through 9 and the other division for senior high school students. Winners of the Area II essay contests were Kathy Hill, an eighth grade student from Prince William Soil and Water Conservation District, and Evelyn Watts, a Madison County High School senior from the Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District. □ Lavonne Adkins receives an award for her winning poster from Col.

Main St. Phona 825-2161 Culpapar, Vs. The initial symptoms of spotted fever are headaches', chills, body pains and high fever. On the third or fourth day, a definitive rash appears and eventually spreads over the whole body. Without treatment, spotted fever is fatal about 20 percent of the time, but since the availability of antibiotic treatment, the overall fatality rate has declined to about 5 percent. “IFi SPOTTED fever is detected soon enough, it can usually be treated very successfully with antibiotics,” Dr. Cooney says. ‘‘It’s much more difficult if treatment is delayed, so early diagnosis is very important.” Dr. Cooney credits the rise in k spotted fever cases in part to the fact that outdoor recreation opportunities are attracting growing numbers of people to the woods and fields where ticks abound, while migration to the suburbs has resulted in more people living in proximity to tick habitat. Dr. Cooney urges individuals going into tick habitat to inspect themselves thoroughly when they come out. “By carefully checking your clothing and skin, you can often get ticks off before they attach. If a tick does attach, it should be removed as quickly as possible. The best way to remove an attached tick is with tweezers. First douse the tick and the skin around it with an antiseptic, then grasp the tick with tweezers as close as possible to the point of attachment and remove it with a slow, steady pull. Do not jerk the tick, for often the head will come off and remain imbedded in the skin, which could lead to secondary infection.” DR. COONEY cautioned that ticks should never be removed with the fingers as infectous material could be introduced into the body through the wound made by the tick. By the same token, people with pets should not remove ticks from the animals with the fingers as it is possible to contract spotted fever simply from handling a tick infected with the disease.

New USDA "understanding* is signed THE CULPEPER Soil and Water Conservation District has signed an updated Supplemental Memorandum of Understanding with the USDA Soil Conservation Service. The new agreement took effect on April 22, when it was signed by State Conservationist David N. Grimwood, acting for SCS. Chairman L.B. Henretty had previously signed for the district. The memorandum with SCS supplements a Memorandum of UnderFolklife Festival “Hickory Wind” is among groups scheduled to appear at the Valley of Virginia Folklife Festival at Lord Fairfax Community College, Sunday afternoon, May 18. This Washington, D.C. based group performs predominantly old-timey mountain string band music. Other musical performances will be given by the “Cedar Creek String Band,” a local group from Strasburg; Ralph Lee Smith, a dulcimer and harmonica player; Helen Schneyer, a folksinger and the past president of the Folklore Society of Greater Washington; Aubrey Smith and TheDixieliners, an old time string band from Arlington; Reed Martin, back by demand with his banjo playing and a collection of old string musical instruments; Peggy Dyson-Cobb, a local autoharp player and folk singer, and Herb Smoke, Winchester’s traditional fiddler, along with the “North Mountain Ramblers,” a string band from Winchester. C CARD OF THANKS I want to thank all my relatives and friends for their cards, prayers, visits, and flowers, and especially the ministers who came so often while I was a patient in Culpeper Memorial Hospital. Mrs. Guy Burke standing between the district and the U.S. Department of Agriculture signed April 1. The Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District comprises Culpeper, Greene, Madison, Orange, and Rappahannock Counties, The district was organized in 1939 and entered into its original memorandums of understanding with USD A and SCS the next year. Since then, the board of directors has several times revised the district’s long-range plan, which states the goals of the district in conserving the resources of the counties. Late last year, the board again revised the long-range plan and decided to enter into new Memorandums of Understanding. By this memorandum, SCS promises to provide technical assistance to' .the district in carrying out its program for soil and water conservation. The Service does this by aiding individuals and groups of land users and units of government, as requested by the district. The district, in turn, promises to plan and coordinate efforts in soil and water conservation in the five counties. IN SIGNING the document, Grimvvood said, “This provides for help in carrying out a program of soil and water conservation which was developed by a local unit of government and which will remain under local direction. This is a good example of democracy at work.” The five counties have an area of about 1,500 square miles, of which more than one-half is in farms. The population of the district is approximately 53,400. In 1969 there were 2,001 farms in the counties and 226,466 acres was in cropland. The directors of Culpeper SWCD are Chairman Henretty, Vice-Chairman, Overton S. Weaver, Raymond Kite, Robert Anderson, H.S. Barksdale, Joe P. McMurran, Melvin Nace, Col. John Skelton, Jim Grove, L.W.

No budget promises made by Board RAPPAHANNOCK’S Supervisors made no commitments during a long morning of budget requests last Thursday, but they made it clear they’re not about to raise taxes in order to fund every program at the level supporters requested. David Schewemer, representing Chapter 10 Mental Health Board, asked the Supervisors for $6,272. Schewemer said that the Chapter 10 program, based in Culpeper, is bringing more and more services into Rappahannock County. A “satellite” mental health clinic, located in the Parish Hall of Trinity Episcopal Church, is now open one day a week, he said. Of all Chapter 10’s programs, the alcohol therapist ana tne speecn therapist have been of the most help to Rappahannock, Schewemer said. With the exception of Culpeper County, Rappahannock has sent more people to the alcohol rehabilitation program than any other county belonging to Chapter 10, Schewemer said. Herbert Foster asked Schewemer, “Who sends you your clients?” Most of them are directed to Chapter 10 by judges, attorneys, or the welfare or public health departments, Schewemer said. “Some just walk in, more so now that we are trying to make the program more visible.” Most people who use the speech therapist are youngsters, he said. That program is handled through the schools. PETE LUKE noted that Chapter 10 offers ten programs. Of these, Rappahannock citizens have only participated in half of them, and have participated to any great degree in only two, speech therapy and alcohol rehabilitation, Luke said. Schewemer assured him “Your money will go to support only those programs you use.” Mrs. W.A. Buntin, head of Rappahannock’s welfare department, said, “You can’t put a dollar value on the good these programs are doing,” Schewemer said that Rappahannock is being asked to contribute $6,272 to Chapter 10, while Fauquier has been asked for $73,370, Culpeper has been asked for $26, 545, Orange has been asked for $20,515 and Madison County has been asked for $8,260. The total budget for Chapter 10 is $640,000. Herbert Foster said he’d read that some counties and businesses are actually cutting back on their budgets. “They’re finding they’re overstaffed and cutting back..Banks are doing the same thing.” Foster asked Schewener if he thought Chapter 10 could cut back some.

Most of our clinics are booked three and four weeks in advance.” JENNINGS HOBSON said he’s never been in the satellite clinic in Rappahannock and seen “anyone sitting around.” “But what worries me, is that it just keeps getting to be more and more,” Herbert Foster said. “It’s like that aging plan,” H.B. Wood said, nodding in agreement with Foster. “It may be peanuts at first, but then it starts snowballing.” “But I agree, the program’s nice,” Foster said. Becky Burke asked the Supervisors to approve Chapter 10’s budget request. “Please don’t go backwards. We had nothing for years,” she said. Mrs. Burke said that mental health services available within the community mean that a good number of people don’t have to be sent to facilities like Western State. “You can’t put a $6,000 price tag on a human life,” she said. JOHN JONES, legal assistance planner for Planning District Nine, told the Supervisors they could obtain $5,108 worth of radio equipment for $255. The rest of the cost would be paid for through federal funds. The equipment would include three automobile radios, two walkie-talkies and one monitor, Jones said. Pete Luke had wanted the Supervisors to accept Jones’s offer when he first presented it, at the Supervisors’ meeting last month. The State Police now “dispatch” for the sheriff’s department and if they change to a different frequency, Rappahannock will have to invest a good amount of money in new equipment then. “I see it either $250 now or $5,000 later,” Luke said. Sheriff John Walker Jenkins reminded the Supervisors that he hadn’t asked for the radio equipment. But since the last meeting, Jenkins said, he’d talked with Jones and others about it and was ready to concede it’s probably a good idea to purchase the equipment now. Herbert Foster wanted to Know if the radio equipment would become “100% county property.” Jones said it would. SHERIFF John Walker Jenkins noted that Rappahannock was the only one of “about three” counties in Virginia that doesn’t have its own dispatcher, but “there’s no way we can afford a base station of our own now.” Jones noted that the money was only for the equipment, none of it is for salaries or personnel, to do the “dispatching.” John Walker Jenkins said that three surrounding counties have said they are willing to help out with Rappahannock’s dispatching. “The finger pointing will be strong wlym we have to buy all that equipment in a few years,” Pete Luke said. “They’ll say why didn’t you do something ir 1975, when it would only have cost $250.” “The improvement in communication is certainly needed,” Jennings Hobson said. “Two hundred dollars is not much for $5,000 of equipment that will belong to the county permanently.” H.B. Wood disagreed. “If we can keep the state police radios and we’ve got three counties willing to help us, I think we should keep them.” THE SUPERVISORS didn’t adjourn, but continued their meeting last Thursday until May 15, at 7:30, so that they can take action at that time to advertise the budget. Before the Supervisors turned their attention to paying bills and leaving for lunch, Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis announced that he is withdrawing his request for a salary increase. “We’re pleased to accept it,” H.B. Wood said. “I hadn’t asked for much anyway,” Davis added. “That’s right,” Pete Luke agreed. “George had only asked for 3 1/2 per cent, instead of the five per cent all state employes are getting. And the sheriff didn’t ask for anything.” Also at their May meeting, the Supervisors appointed Walter Masterson to a full term on the Planning Commission. — Pekay Pettus FAUQUIER LIVESTOCK EXCHANGE, INC.

Agency on aging From Page 1 tionnaire are proof of the needs they have.” Ian Pryde called‘‘Rappahannock a lovely county,” adding, ‘‘It is our elderly citizens who kept it this way.” Pryde said the elderly people in Rappahannock have “independence and pride; they don’t want to be sent to homes.” He said that some of them have daughter and sons who live two doors down from them but won’t pick them up to take them to a doctor. “Let’s get them out to church and for games at the fire hall. If we vote this down, you’re saying our elderly people aren’t worth $400. That’s peanuts.” MARY CLEVERLY also spoke in favor of establishing the agency on aging. She noted that she had “professional background” in this area, after working as a nurse at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital in Washington, and she is aware of the “tremendous need” for a program of this type. “No one here is against humanitarian need,” Pete Luke said. “But you have to realize, we’re really getting pushed on taxes.” Mrs. Buntin said the agency would help “pull down federal dollars. This is a complex subject, you have to know how to get those federal funds. Our agency now is a hodge-podge; we’re trying to do too much.” She cited the transportation program started by the welfare office. “You’re paying us at a professional level to do the job a taxi could do. An agency for aging could take over some of what we’re doing and do it more efficiently.” Pryde said he and other members of the advisory council on aging spent nine months working on the “comprehensive plan” which recommends the agency. “These people are worth considering,” he said. “If they went on relief, think what that would cost the county.” COMPLETE ONE-STOP Building Supply Hardware Paint Millwork Lumber WARRENTON BUILDING MATERIAL CO., INC. ON THE BY-PASS WARRENTON Phone 347-1400 Mary Cleverly agreed. “It’s much cheaper to take care of people in their own homes.” Mrs. Buntin commented that the nursing home in Orange now costs $23 a day. “We’re sending far too many people there.” TOM HELSEL told the Supervisors that the majority of funds requested for the aging agency would be spent on “setting up and getting started.” “But what will happen next year?” Supervisor Herbert Foster asked. “This thing will build up. You always need more money as you go along. I agree, $400 is nothing; but look at it in the long run.” “It will get into the thousands of dollars,” Foster continued. “But it’s a fine thing, I agree.” Tom Helsel noted that Rappahannock is being asked to contribute $414, Orange County has been asked for $1,088, Culpeper, $1,374 and Fauquier, $1,674. If at least three counties join the agency on aging program, the district will receive $2U,UUU in federal funds. The agency will seek out other sources for funds, Helsel said. The idea behind the request facing Rappahannock is “seed money,” Helsel said. He added that the amount of money requested from area localities will probably increase for the next three years. Then they will have reached the maximum they can expect the counties to contribute, Helsel said. But if Rappahannock contributes $414 this year, “you’re only committing yourself for one year,” “We’re just asking you to give this a try,” Ian Pryde added. SUPERVISOR Dick Latham said he was worried about “overlapping programs.” Herbert Foster asked Helsel, “Who’s behind this? Who hired you?” Helsel said he was hired by the state, but the program is not really pushed by the state, he said. “This will boil down just like welfare,” Herbert Foster said. “You won’t know who’s on it. If people knew who was on welfare, half of them wouldn’t be on it.” “I see no relation between the confidentiality of the federal programs and the aging plan,” Mrs. Buntin said. H.B. Wood and Herbert Foster claimed they see a clear connection. Mrs. Buntin said “if you have a legitimate reason, you can see” who is on welfare. She added. “We don’t make the rules; they are federal rules.” Helsel said he didn’t think confidentiality would be a problem with any of the programs initiated by the agency on aging. “At a nutrition center; you can see who’s Marshall Feed & Supply, Inc.

LUKE TOLD Helsel the Supervisors would take his request under advisement. “No one here’s against the program, we’re just concerned about its long range impact. “There are so many costs facing the county that we have no control over, but we’ll take all this into consideration,” Luke said. Tom Helsel wanted to know when a decision would be made on the agency on aging. Luke said the Supervisors wanted to have a public hearing on the budget at their June meeting. In order to meet the legal requirements on advertising that hearing, they need to have the budget in a final form, ready for publication, by May 15. “So we’ll have to reach a decision by then,” he said. PETE LUKE said he’d found some figures he expected many people in Rappahannock aren’t aware of. “I got these from the Taylor Murphy Institute at the University of Virginia,” Luke said. “It concerns the median income of Rappahannock County. So we can see what we really have to work with when someone? talks about raising taxes.” “Now in my district, Piedmont District, the median income is $2,703. That’s the median. Half of the people make more than that and half makeless. The per capita income in Piedmont is $1,369. “For Hampton District, the median income is $4,701 and the per capita is $2,112. For Stonewall, the median income is $4,323 and the per capita is $1,779. For WakeHeld district, the median is $7,228 and the per capita is $2,325,” Luke said. He added that a number of ‘very wealthy people live in Wakefield, and “threw off the figures a bit.” “The median income in Jackson district is $4,479 and the per capita income is $1,983,” Luke continued. “This county has been combed for the best data that’s available on this.” “But this is what I want to be very clear. When you talk about raising taxes, you’re talking about a tax base that’s near zero,” Luke said. “You’ve got to consider the ability to pay.”— Pekay Pettus H & P APPLIANCE, INC. 05 E.

Jim Lum spent the weekend in Grants funded for rural fire companies THE FEDERAL Rural Development Act of 1972, Title IV, was funded as a pilot effort'this week, with the State of Virginia granted $53,600 to provide assistance to rural fire departments. State Forester W.F. Custard, in making this announcement, stated that the Virginia Division of Forestry has been charged with the administration of the Virginia grant and will absorb the administrative costs to allow the full $53,600 to be available to the rural fire departments. The grant money is to be used to assist rural fire departments which service communities naving populations of less than 10,000. Emphasis is to be placed on assistance with department training and the purchase of small equipment items. The funds will be available on a matching basis, said Custard. The Act provides the following guide lines for use in setting priorities for the funds: 1. Preference must be given to those fire departments that have applied for or have received loans from the Federal Housing Administration under Title II. 2. Preference should be given to the newer fire companies. IN ORDER to be eligible for a grant consideration, continued Custard, a fire department must be able to answer “yes” to the following questions: 1. Does the department service a community with a population of 10,000 or less? 2. Is the request for assistance in organizing, training, or equipment? (Large equipment, such as a truck, cannot be considered.) 3. Is the department able to match half or more of the grant requested? If the answers to the above questions are “yes,” the department may make application for a grant. This is done by executing United States Government Department of Agriculture Form AD-623 and forwarding the form to the Virginia Division of Forestry, Box 3758, Charlottesville, 22903. Specific inquiries should be directed to R.J. Bartholomew or J.W. Garner, Vir gima Division of Forestry, the grant request must be in the Charlottesville office of the Virginia Division of Forestry no later than May 16, said Custard. Due to the comparatively limited amount of money, a series of Federal guide lines have been set up to assign priorities to the applications received, said Custard. □ PUBLIC SALE SATURDAY, MAY 17 Beginning at 10:00 A.M.

Canning lids scarce, more coming THE Virginia Department of Agriculture and Commerce (VD AC) has released the findings of a “Report on Supply of Home Canning Jar Lids in Virginia,” as directed by a Senate Resolution, passed during the last session of the General Assembly. The study was conducted from April 14-May 1 and the report prepared by VDAC’s Division of Markets. “The findings indicate that the supply of replacement lids for home canning jars in most retail food stores in Virginia is currently less than adequate to meet the tremendous increase in demand. However, additional shipments will be arriving as the home canning season approaches. Manufacturers are making every effort to meet the increased demand. The earlier tinplate shortage has been relieved. The biggest problem is thought by many of those contacted to be individuals who are buying more than they need either through over-precaution or with intent to resell the lids at a high profit,” the report stated. S. Mason Carbaugh, VCAC Commissioner, said, “I think this report shows that although supplies will be tight this year, there should be adequate canning jar lids to meet the need if home canners will exercise prudence. I urge consumers to buy only the supplies they will need, as they are needed, and refrain from hoarding.” THE REPORT said that unlike last year, there were no problems reported with the supply of home canning jars with lids attached. Additional manufacturers are making jars for home canning this year, also. I lM 11 ■ 1 j 1 ’71 LeSABRE 4-dr. HT., Vinyl roof, air cond., auto., tinted glass, whitewalls, wheel covers, radio & heater.

No. 1935 Warrenton “Virginia retail stores get replacement lids primarily from three sources—Ball Corporation; Bernardin, Incorporated; and Kerr Glass Manufacturing Corporation. The three have greatly increased their production of replacement lids. They are allocating their production to customers to assure fair distribution around the nation, and they say the quantity allocated for the year is greater than last year,” the report said. One of the manufacturers plans to have a new lid production facility in operation soon, which should increase the supply near the actual canning season. VDAC has been investigating the supply situation on home canning materials periodically since last summer. The current investigation is the most comprehensive. Commissioner Carbaugh stated, “The Department will continue to monitor the situation to see that Virginia receives its fair share of lids.” C HUNTLY Mr. and Mrs. James Costello had as visitors Sunday evening his brother and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Delbert Costello and daughter, Melissa, also Miss Virginia Wright, all of Charles Town, W.
