Soviets honor Rappahannock veteran BY PEKAY PETTUS MR. AND MRS. Frank Huff of Flint Hill were among the guests of honor at a reception at the Russian Embassy in Washington last Friday night, commemorating the 30th anniversary of the defeat of “Hitlerite fascism.” Huff was invited because he was one of the first four Americans to greet the Russians at the Elbe River, after the defeat of Gertnany in World War II. His action almost earned him a court martial, until General Dwight Eisenhower sent word that “what we’d done was the Boy loses arm AN ALEXANDRIA youth spending the weekend with his parents at their country property near Washington was seriously injured in a tractor accident Saturday. Philip Berry, 13, caught his arm in the power-take-off of the tractor and it was severed at the elbow. His father applied a tournequet, summoned the Washington Rescue Squad, which took boy and his arm to Rappahannock Clinic where emergency treatment was given and they were dispatched to the University of Virginia Hospital, Charlnftpcvillp Following ten hours of surgery at the hospital, the arm was rejoined, circulation re-established and movement in several fingers visible. However, after a blood clot formed, the arm was amputated Tuesday; the young man is in satisfactory condition. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Berry of Alexandria who own the old Sam Miller farm near Washington.□ best news he’d had in a long time and he only wished he could have been there with us,” Huff said. Since then, Huff has earned a small place in the history of World War II; his daughter came across a picture of him shaking hands with a Russian soldier in a textbook. She knew the picture immediately; one just like it hangs in the hall at the Huff’s house. The reception last week at the Russian embassy wasn’t the first time Huff has been honored, but it was the first time in a long time. “Right after I got back from the war, Tom Frost invited me over to Warrenton to make a little speech. I don’t know what it was for,” Huff said. “But it seems to me it had something to do with an election.” DURING the war, Frank Huff was one of four men in an “Intelligence and Reconaissance patrol.” Huff’s job was driving a jeep. “We’d drive out front until we drew fire and then turn around and come back,” he said. As the war wound down, and the Russian • and the Allied fronts drew nearer, Huff said he and his fellow patrol members talked about the possibility of meeting the Russians. “But we knew it had been set up for the high-ranking officials to make that contact,” he said. “We’d been out all the time for a couple of days and nights in a row, liberating the prison camps, disarming the Germans and directing the refugees who were running from the Russians to the American lines,” Huff said. “So we didn’t get the order that told us we were to go no farther than a five-mile radius from this little town. “As we were driving around and talking to the refugees, the freed See Page 11 Frank Huff, left, of Flint Hill was one of the first four Americans to meet the Russians at the Elbe River at the end of World War II. The inscription stamped on the back of this U.S. Army photograph reads “Historical meeting on 25 April 1945 between elements of the 69th Infantry Division, 1st U.S. Army and Russian men of the 58th Gardiv Division.” The caption identifies Huff and the Russian soldier, Sergeant Nicolai Andrsjev. Special summer school may be held THE Rappahannock County School Board is awaiting formal approval of a Title I project that will enable any child who will be entering the first grade of the Rappahannock County Public School System for the first time in August to participate in a special summer school program. This program has a twofold purpose. During the 19 days of the program, activities will be designed so that school personnel will be able to determine strengths of the child’s pre-school ex periences as they relate to reading readiness. Once this data is available, it will be easier to plan for appropriate programs in the fall. The second aspect of the program will be an orientation phase. Students will be exposed to many activities that they will encounter in the fall. Cafeteria experiences, auditorium programs and others will be provided. The program will begin on June 30th and continue through July 24th at the Rappahannock County Elementary School. The hours will be from 9 a.m. to noon. Bus transportation will be provided along certain routes for those who are not within walking distance of the school. PARENTS who have registered their children for the pre-school program will be notified of room assignments and bus schedules by mail prior to June 30. Children who may be attending private school next year are eligible to participate in this program. Parents of those children who have not registered are asked to do so by completing a registration form at the Rappahannock County Elementary School.□ HISTORICAL SOCIETY The Rappahannock Historical Society is scheduled to meet on Tuesday, May 20 at 8 p.m. in the Rappahannock County Courthouse, Washington. The public is asked to attend. □

Sappaljamuirk Nroa PvUisM Thursday Morning at Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia, 38747, by the Fauquier Publishing Company, Inc. Entered as Second Class Mail at the Post Office in Washington, Virginia. Subscriptions (in advance) $4 in Rappahannock and adjacent counties; $5 in Postal Zones 5 thru S. MRS. SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 475-3349 Who’s in charge? FIGURES illustrating the type of unequal land taxation cited in last week’s commentary in this space have been supplied by a reader, and while the figures she gives are for Prince William County, we feel certain the same point could be made in all surrounding counties. The point: Some of the people yelling loudest, “tax me, tax me, for quality education,” aren’t even paying a quarter or a half of what it costs to send a single child to school. ' In fact, a speaker at the May meeting of the Fauquier Board of Supervisors admitted as much. She spoke contemptuously of her tax bill, as compared to a previous tax bill paid in a northern state (one where there is a great deal of industry, incidentally), and ringingly announced her willingness to pay more taxes. Well, that’s all very noble, but, such suburban landowners had better realize what they’re talking about first — not just higher taxes, but doubled or quadrupled taxes—and secondly, they ought to be a little more considerate of their fellow citizens, those who make their living by farming or who live on fixed incomes. If the taxes of these people were doubled or quadrupled, they’d be put out of business or forced into bankruptcy. IN PRICE WILLIAM, tire figures which we were supplied show, it takes $1,425 per year to educate each child. Of people who spoke at a public hearing, crying “taxme!’’onequarter of those paid no real estate taxes. Another 25 per cent paid less than $400 per year, and another quarter between $400 and $600 per year. Of, in short, three quarters of those seeking more school funds paid in property taxes less than half the cost of educating one child. Of the remaining fourth, only one paid as high as $900 per year in real estate tax, still far from enough to meet the educational bill for a single child. Another method of financing schools simply must be found. Citizens looking for something positive to do about preserving rural land uses, AND supporting education, could find few better causes to support. □ Supplemental checks SOCIAL security officials estimate there may be a million people eligible for supplemental security income checks who haven’t yet applied. The Federal program, which started in January 1974, now makes monthly payments to over 4 1/2 million people with little or no income and limited resources who are 65 or over or blind or disabled. But the Social Security Administration believes there are still a lot of people who don’t know about supplemental security income and might be helped by the payments, according to Philip E. Bettendorf, social security district manager in Winchester. “If you know people in need who are 65 or over or blind or dis abled,” Bettendorf said, “please tell them about supplemental security income. And please suggest that they call or write any social security office for more information.” THE Winchester social security office is at 20 South Cameron Street. The phone number is 6671511. Friends or relatives can call or write for people unable to do so on their own, according to Bettendorf. The amount of the monthly supplemental security income payments people get depends on other income they might have. Eligible people with no other income at all get as much as $146 a month for one^ person and $219 for a couple.□ “Close-ups” A pair of pliers was the photo featured last week in the Closeup Contest and was correctly identified by several readers.

The allocations are available under the U.S. Highway Safety Act of 1966 and its revisions and administered by the Highway Safety Division of Virginia according to Director John T. Hanna. Middlesex and Buckingham counties each received $8,250 to purchase a medicruiser ambulance and radio equipment. Rappahannock County was allocated $8,025 for a custom built raised roof ambulance and mobile radio equipment; This grant was received by Amissville Fire Company and a new rescue squad vehicle has been ordered. Delivery is expected the middle of the summer. Carroll County was awarded $1,500 to purchase two mobile radio units.□

The Godshalk vehicle hit a guardrail and bounced into a 75 Chevrolet van driven by Jeffrey Kinckley Willis of Sterling. Hunting season changes AN OVERFLOW crowd, of * sportsmen and a sprinkling of the anti-hunting persuasion, attended the annual meeting May 2 of the Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries at which dates and bag limits were set for the 1975-76 hunting season. Among actions taken by the ten-member body was to extend, for one additional year, the experimental muzzle loading rifle deer season.

Some other actions taken by the Commission included the elimination of a special bow and arrow deer season which had been proposed as an extension of the regular season by about five weeks west of the Blue Ridge; the establishment of a special season for hunting crows and the creation of a 75 pound dressed weight minimum for bears taken in the Commonwealth. DEER season will open statewide on November 17, 1975, closing (west of the Blue Ridge) November 29, 1975, and (east of the Blue Ridge) on January 5, 1976.

Energy lectures set in Rappahannock A SERIES of lectures on energy and environment, sponsored by the Nethers Community School Summer Project, will be open to the public. The Nethers Community School in Rappahannock County will offer an eight-week college level program of work and study in solar energy, from June 2 to August 2. Several scientists and environmentalists are scheduled to give seminars during the program, which the Ndthers Community School has decided to make available to the public. The eight programs of the lecture series begin on Friday, June 13, at 7 p.m. Ralph Nader has been invited to speak, but hasn’t accepted yet. In case Nader can’t be there, Wilson Clark, consultant to the John Muir Institute for Environmental Studies and the Environmental Policy Center, will give the opening address. His talk will be on “Solar Energy and the Environment—An Overview.” Friday, June 30, at 7 p.m., George Szego, president of Intertechnology Corporation of War Few forest fires WEATHER cooperated with forest fire fighters this year to make the first four months of 1975 one of the best on record, according to John V. Jackson, Assistant District Forester for the 13-county Northern Piedmont District. For the entire District, 143 fires burned 383 acres for an average of 2.7 acres per fire. Whereas a few years have been better, 1975 still would rank among the top for least damage done by forest fires. For Rappahannock County, five fires burned four acres of forest land. Spring time in Virginia, especially from mid-February to early or mid-May, is the mos£ hazardous time in the East. FOR VIRGINIA, this is the time of year when all forest fuels are dead, and the weather frequently brings high winds and low humi diU which dry out the fuel very rapidly. Forest and field fires can occur just hours after a heavy rain.

Every one of them were very good in their parts and the audience manifested its approval and enjoyment. Panther boys and girls track teams brought back good results from the regional meets last week. The girls placed fourth in a field of 12 schools and the boys were second out of 17 schools in Skyline District. Margaret Jett was champion in the region in the shot put competition with a distance of 35’ 8”. Faye Dunn pulled second place in the high jump with a height of 4’ 11”, while Maureen Day was third with 4’ 10”, Connie Del Grasso was second in hurdles setting a new school record with a time of 11.75. Our 880 relay consisting of Maureen Day, Marie Fletcher, Fay and May Dunn placed third and our mile relay team composed of Fay Dunn, Donna Cannon, Mary Hudson and Maureen Day placed third and set a school record with a time of 4:35.5. I think the girls track team deserves a lot of credit and recognition for their great strides and accomplishments this season. They’re “superpanthers”. Speaking of “Superpanthers,” our boys track group had taken their first Skyline District title ever in the District meet and placed second in regional com petition. About 17 schools were involved. Rappahannock missed first by only the wee margin of 2-3/4 points, and was way above many of our competitors in total points scored. Bill Taylor took the mile and the two mile again and Jerry Thomas was third in both events. Milton Fletcher was fourth in the long jump and fifth in the triple jump and Raymond Groves fourth in the 100 yard dash and third in the 440. Our mile relay team placed fourth., Four of RCHS track men will be participating in the state meet this Saturday. They are Jerry Thomas, Bill Taylor, Raymond Groves and Milton Fletcher. It has been a really successful season for both our track teams, and next year should be even better. Congratulations, and best of luck at state!! Trying not to sound repititious, it looks like another one of our teams is having a fine season and that’s.our baseball team. The last two games as of Wednesday morning were with Page County and Warren County high schools. Our Panthers defeated Page 3-0 and were edged out by Warren 7-6. So far the Panthers are in close competition for the top positions in the district. That will be determined in the final game which is this Thursday at Madison at 1 p.m. We’ve got our fingers crossed and our hopes are high. Go get ’em!D WUMMnillllUII MOYERS MOTOR CO., INC.

The program will be directed in this State by the Virginia Crop Reporting Service headed by Robert E. Schooley. The goal of the survey, Schooley said, is to provide farmers and ranchers with current reliable and impartial information to assist them with production and marketing plans. Present farm prices and production costs, the economy, and export situation have created more than the usual number of uncertainties in agriculture, Schooley pointed out. Producers are especially vulnerable at times like these without the market stabilizing influence provided by official crop and livestock estimates. Rumors and trade guesses can upset delicate marketing situations. The survey, using a representative sample of agriculture, will include personal interviews with some 70,000 producers, and several thousand livestock operators, HUNTLT Mrs. Earl Edmonds spent Mothers’ Day with Mr. and Mrs. Earl Edmonds Jr. and baby in Winchester. Kevin Reil and Miss Cathy Dalton of Hampton spent the weekend with his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Willie B. Mills. Miss Lelia North returned home Thursday after several weeks in Winchester Memorial Hospital.□ and mail responses from thousands of other farmers throughout the Nation. THE SURVEY will be the basis for a report to be issued byUSDA, June 30,1975, estimating spring planted acreages and acreages for harvest for major crops both nationally and by States. This information will serve as the foundation for a series of yield and production estimates starting July 10 and available monthly during the growing season. The mid-year number of hogs and pigs in the country will be published in late June and for cattle a month later to provide indications of marketings in the second half of 1975 and early 1976. The cooperation of producers contacted is essential in pulling together a reliable set of estimates for use by all farmers and ranchers.□ Field Grown Plants We now have Tomato and Cabbage Plants with Pepper Plants coming All Vegetable Seed in Stock as We can fill the needs of the home gardener Southern States Co-op 435-31 It FROST ROYAL Your Southern States Cooperative Agency

A sudden storm Tuesday made a path through the county pelting the area in a quarter-mile strip with hail, rain and wind. The torrential storm piled up hail as deep as six inches along the roadside on Route 211 east of Washington. Highway maintenance supervisor Douglas Bywaters and an employe scooped the hailstones up by the handsful. As the hail fell the wind and rain created the heaps which can be seen extending along the road. Town cleaned up Saturday, May 10, the town of Washington was cleaned by 4-H’ers. The trash collected amounted to two bags of paper, a bag of bottles, and a bag of tin cans. 4-H’ers who helped in this cleanup project were Pammy Estes, Desiree Poehler, Gregory Pullen, Melody Poehler, and Missy Pullen. “I would like to thank each one on a job well done and hope they had a fun day,” said Karen Kuhn, Extension Technician. After the clean-up the 4-H’ers along with Karen and her friend Carol Haun from Farmville, went for a picnic in the county. □ Play planned « Upper level students of Wakefield Country Day School, Huntly, will perform a play at the Flint Hill Fire Hall on Friday evening, May 23, beginning at 7:30 p.m. The play, “The Servant of Two Masters,” by 18th Century playright Carlo Goldoni is considered one of the classics of the Italian theater. Local students performing in the play are Will Warshauer, Sean Marsh, Raymond Riddell, Wynn Voeks, and Tara Labovitz. The play is directed by Mrs. William Lynn, Jr. of Washington. The public is invited, and admission is free.O Woodland plantings high A NATIONAL survey indicates that Virginia’s private woodland owners are among the leaders in the nation in forest tree planting and preparing areas for natural regeneration of forest trees, says Wallace F. Custard, State. Forester, Virginia Division of Forestry. The survey for the fiscal year 1974 shows that Virginia’s private woodland landowners planted trees on more than 47,000 acres. The state of Florida eased Virginia out of first place this year with 50, 000 acres. The third place position is held by Mississippi with 23,000 * acres. When the planted acreages of large forest industries are included, Virginia ranks fifth in the Nation in acreage planted. When government and forestry industry tree planting are included, Virginia still “runs with the leaders,” moving to seventh position with 83, 000 acres planted, said Custard. In the category of site preparation for natural regeneration, Virginia private landowners prepared 10,512 acres—second only to Florida and South Carolina. VIRGINIA’S two Division of Forestry nurseries produced 52, 000,000 tree seedlings, with the leading state producing only seven -PUBLIC SALE Saturday, May 17, 1975 BEGINNING AT 10.00 AM.

Our New Kent Nursery has been and remains the largest forest tree nursery in the country, continued Custard. “Virginians should be proud of their reforestation efforts. It is essential that we plant trees, pine especially, at an ever increasing rate to offset the pine deficit disclosed in the 1966 forest inventory,” said Custard. “We have over 68,000 Virginia wage earners directly dependent on the forest industry which, in turn, is dependent on the raw material supplied by our forests. The citizens of the state and Nation demand the products of the industry. Virginia can and must retain her leadership position because of economics and the many other forest resource related values.”□ BRIDGE PARTY Mrs. Charles K. Estes entertained the Sperryville Bridge Club at her home Friday evening. Guests included Mrs. Frank Tabler, Mrs. Charles H. Estes, Mrs. Mary Quaintance, Mrs. Fred Schaefer, Mrs. R.E.

Frank Huff one of first Americans to greet Red Army From Page 1 prisoners and the Germans, we asked about where the Russians were. When we got to a town called Tiirgau, on the Elbe River, we were told that they were on the other side of the river.” “SO WE took a bed sheet from ?«pme of the German refugees and we went through the town looking for a drug store. When we found the drug store, we broke in the glass, right next to the door knob. Then we went inside and mixed up some red and blue powder with water and blotted us out an American flag.” Lieutenant William Robertson, who headed Huff’s patrol, climbed the spiral steps of a castle tower, on the banks of the Elbe. “When we got up there, he put his foot on the flag pole and let the flag hang put as far as it would go. He stood back behind the wall, with his foot on the pole,” Huff said. The Russians opened fire. “Then we had to figure out some way to make them understand we were really the Americans, not the Germans trying to pull some stunt that had been tried before,” Huff said. “So Robertson told me to take the jeep and go back to one of the prison camps we’d liberated and get a Russian soldier.” HUFF FOUND the soldier and brought him back to the castle tower, where he joined Robertson and called out in Russian to the troops on the other side of the river. “If you’ve ever heard a Russian talk in a loud tone, it sounds like hollering. But after he started hollering, the Russians started coming down out of the trees on the other side of the river. “There was a bridge across the Elbe there, and the Germans had blown it up near the end of the war. The highest Russian officer and a sergeant started swinging across on the girders of the bridge that were left* in the water. And we started crawling out to meet them,” Huff said. “That’s where we shook hands, out there on the girders.” “We took the Russians back to our C.P. (command post) where they took some pictures. Our officer was all upset and wanted to know how we’d met them. We had never got the order that said we weren’t supposed to go outside the five-mile radius. But they kept us under guard until we could get to the Colonel’s headquarters. Then they called General Reinhardt. “Finally they got through to Eisenhower. He was at what they called the ‘little red school house’ in Rheims, France. He said it was the best news he’d had in a long time and he only wished he could WANTED SCRAP CAST IRON Wa an now payii* $2#00p*cWT up 1000 lbs. Ovar 1000 lbs. J2.50^CWT Any Quantttiat.

They were about to court martial us for an order we’d never heard.” LIEUTENANT Robertson, who headed Huff’s patrol, was in Moscow last Friday night withAverell Harriman and other Americans for a festivity similar to that sponsored by the Russian Embassy in Washington. But Paul Staub of the Bronx, N.Y. and John McDonnell of Peabody, Mass., the other two men in Huff’s patrol, were at the Russian Embassy in Washington. Members of the Pentagon staff and diplomats stationed in Washington from those countries involved in the fight against Germany were also present at the reception. Huff received the invitation to the reception at the Embassy several weeks ago. ‘‘The Ambassador of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and Mrs. Dobrynin request the honor of the presence of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Huff on the occasion of the 30th Anniversary of the Defeat of Hitlerite fascism...” it read. After Huff had received the invitation, a Russian journalist came to Flint Hill and interviewed him. Later, someone from the Pentagon called. Then Huff received several paperbound books and a newsletter from the Russian Embassy. Each of them extolled the importance of ‘‘the Soviet Peoples’ Victory in the Great Patriotic War” against “theMon.strous German War Machine” or described how “the Soviet People defended the honor and independence of their native land and safe Thirty years later Huff sits in his living room and studies material sent to him by the Russian Embassy in Washington. Huff and his wife were among the guests of honor at a reception at the Embassy last week. guarded the gains of the October Revolution bequeathed to us by Lenin.” “THEY couldn’t have been any nicer than they treated us down at the Embassy,” Huff said. “They had the most beautiful tables I’ve ever seen. All sorts of food, watermelons cut in half hanging like baskets and every kind of cracker.” The Embassy also let Huff take his son and daughterin-law to the reception. “The young Soviet officers who were there had on beautiful uniforms. None of them wanted to hear anything about wars, especially nuclear war. They said the United States and Russia were closer than they had ever been before.” Huff said his patrol was not the only one to make contact with the Russians. “Three other patrols made contact at different places along the river about the same time we did. But they got so boozed up on vodka, they couldn’t call back in. All they could get on the radio with them was just a mumble.” The United States Army, in a publication issued just after the war, also noted that several patrols made contact with the Russians about the same time. But Huff’s patrol, led by Lt. Robertson, is believed to have been the first and, according to that Army publication, had the most interesting story to tell. □ DEEDS OF RECORD DEEDS Raymond M.

Social Security ‘extras’ PEOPLE who can answer “yes” to five questions may be eligible for supplemental security income payments, according to Philip E. Bettendorf, social security district manager in Winchester. The questions: Are you 65 or over, or blind, or severely disabled? Is your income from pensions or social security benefits less than $166 a month ($239 for a couple)? Is your home valued at $25,000 or less? Is your car valued at $1,200 or less? Are your assets — savings, stocks, or other things convertible to cash—worth less than $1,500 ($2,250 for a couple)? “If you think you might be eligible for supplemental security income,” Bettendorf said, “callor write any social security office for more information about the payments.” THE supplemental security income program makes monthly payments to people with little or no income and limited resources who are 65 or over or blind or disabled. The program is administered by the Social Security Administration, an agency of theU.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. The Winchester Social Security Office is at 20 S. Cameron St. The phone number is 667-1511.□

Dr. LeResche states that while the controversy rages, the real enemy—those who would exploit wildlife and natural resources— continues to take the country on a headlong flight down the road of ecological suicide. He advises hunters to accept the fact that antihunters are sincere, that there are other legitimate uses of wildlife, and that wildlife belongs to all of the people. He advises anti-hunters to learn more about ecology and human evolution, to learn what hunters have done for wildlife—and to learn to distinguish between hunters, hooligans and exploiters.^ THIS AD GOOD FOR 4 FREE FUEL V2 YEAR’S SUPPLY When you buya new DEUTZ CHOOSE ANY OF 12 AIR-COOLED DIESELS INCLUDING THE 85 AND 105 HP BIG ONES Plus $250 rebates on four models Deutz makes this special otter to put money in your pocket now and save you money in the years to come, because every hour ot operation saves you tuel.

Sperryville Cemetery will be mowed soon TRUSTEES of the Sperryville Cemetery Association request that all artificial flowers placed on graves in the cemetery be removed at the end of a two-week period, and that the owners of the lots be responsible for removing these flowers. Mowing must be done at the cemetery at least every two weeks during the spring-summer seasons, and it is time-consuming and costly to remove the flowers, mow, and then replace them. Each spring before mowing can be started, a great deal of time must be spent cleaning up these flowers which have blown over the grounds, into fence rows, etc. and this additional cleaning adds to the expense of maintenance. Letters have gone out recently to low owners in the “old” part of the cemetery, asking for a contribution toward a perpetual care fund to help with maintenance of the cemetery on a permanent basis, as well as to make some repairs to the road and grounds. THE retaining wall which has been damaged for several years has recently been repaired.
