Rappahannock News, June 5, 1975

Buntin retires from police force AFTER COVERING an estimated one and a quarter million miles in 17 automobiles, Trooper W.A. Buntin has retired from the Virginia Department of State Police. His 29 years service, all in Rappahannock, was officially completed May 31, 1975. He joined VSP on April 1, 1946 at a starting salary of $1,800 a year and was required to work 10 hours a day, six days a week. His law enforcement career had begun earlier, however, for he was an MP during his tenure of duty with the U.S. Army. Prior to Buntin’s assignment in Rappahannock, the county had been without a trooper for three years, since the resignation of R.E. Wood, nowofSperryville. For the next six years he worked alone except for an aging sheriff and his deputy who did not drive. The state radio dispatching system had just been initiated and Buntin was one of the first policemen to have a radio in the mobile unit. Though much of a trooper’s duty is on the highway, they are also vested with the powers of a sheriff to enforce all laws. Among the problems which have confronted him are robberies, burglaries, domestic relations, strikes, riots, suicides and escaped convicts, in addition to wrecks and other traffic control. W.A. BUNTIN was born in Houston, Va. (later changed to Halifax) on July 8, 1915. After graduating from high school there, he worked in his uncle’s service station before being inducted into the U.S. Army in 1942. He was in the military police until reassignment to a field unit which was sent to Okinawa. The war was over before his unit arrived at its destination so his overseas duty there and in South Korea lasted only 5 1/2 months. During his military service, he was stationed at Fort Bragg, Florida and Camp Edwards, Mass., where he met and married Elizabeth Guenter of Edgartown, on Martha’s Vineyard, in 1943. Returning to Halifax after his army discharge.; in January 1946, Buntin said he was not sure what he wanted to do, but he was certain he did not want to be a farmer like his father. Halifax is tobacco country, and in those days modern conveniences included a mule and two-horse wagon. The winters were spent cutting wood with which to fire the barns to cure the tobacco after it was harvested. The state was advertising at that time for applicants for troopers. He answered the ad, passed the examinations and was employed April 1, 1946. Seven weeks of probating in the city of Danville, followed by seven weeks of VSP schooling in Richmond qualified him for the Rappahannock assignment. His rapport with people of the area has enabled him to serve well in this constant capacity. BUNTIN RECALLED the coal Court asked to OK sale of ski area THE Rappahannock Ski Corporation has petitioned federal district court for approval of the sale of the ski area northwest of Washington. The Ski Corporation is proposing to sell the land in two tracts. One tract of 40.6 acres would be sold to Edgar A. Brenner for $500 an acre. Brenner already owns land adjoining the ski area. The remaining tract of approximately 300 acres would be sold to Donald W. Weil, trustee, and others, for the sum of $550,000. James A. Moore, president of the Ski Corporation, said that neither sale agreement has been concluded. The Rappahannock Ski Corporation would use the proceeds from the sale of the 40-acre tract, which Moore believes will be concluded first, to pay off back real estate taxes and other debts. “WE ARE still negotiating with a group of four Virginians for the sale of the remaining property. But that sale agreement has conditions that may or may not be met and at the moment I don’t know that the sale will go through,” Moore said. Donald W. Weil of Front Royal is listed in the court order as trustee for the potential purchasers. Weil said the others are “from this general area.” But negotiations for the purchase of the ski area “are at a nebulous state,” he said, adding, “nothing is definite.”□ strikes in 1947 and ’48 when troopers were sent to southwest Virginia for guard and patrol duty.

LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington C7S-334* Scenic rivers THE WARINESS of country people toward plans promulgated in the bureaucratic corriidors of Richmond and Washington is understandable. As readers of this newspaper know, we count ourselves staunchly among the doubters of bureaucratic wonders, in whatever guise they are presented. But the cool reception given by many area residents and landowners toward “scenic river” designations for portions of the Rappahannock and Rapidan Rivers seems to be largely unwarranted. Fears have been expressed that such a designation would be but the first step toward eventual federal or state condemnation and confiscation, but from what we’ve heard thus far, the chances of this are remote—not to say nonexistant. The dangers of wholesale exploitation, however, whether in the form of riverfront “development” or commercialized “recreation” are real and ever-present. So are the grandiose schemes of those who want to dam up every free-flowing stream for the benefit of “progress” and “growth” some where or another. The long and tedious, and not yet fully resolved, Salem Church Dam battle chills all lovers of the two rivers. «AND, “scenic river” designations would diminish, perhaps even vanish, these dangers. Promoters of the designation say the Corps of Engineers could be blocked forever from reviving the now discredited Salem Church Dam proposal, and that protective easements which would accompany scenic designation would prevent the sort of commercialized recreation which has transformed so many once beautiful spots on our earth into something vastly, and hideously, different— from Hawaii to Yellowstone, from Niagara to the South Carolina Islands. This area abounds in scenic and natural wonders, but these assets can’t continue without militant attention to their preservation. The modest, socalled “wilderness” proposal for Shenandoah Park would be one way; the “scenic river” designations for the Rappahannock and Rapidan would be another.□ 2 wrecks reported TWO SINGLE vehicle traffic crashes were reported Friday and investigated by Trooper J.A. Watson. At 9 a.m. on Route 211 at Rediviva. a 67 Chevrolet van operated by Hossein Ava of Totowo, N.J. skidded on wet pavement and plunged down an embankment. Just after noon of that day on Route 522 north of Huntly a 1970 Buick driven by Nancy Jones of Flint Hill travelling north on the highway swerved to avoid a black Cadillac which had veered into her lane. Her vehicle struck a bank and received light damage, said Watson. Early Sunday evening on Route 211 three and a half miles west of Sperryville another single vehicle mishap occurred. A 1974 Dodge station wagon driven by Celinda Miller of Luray skidded and struck the embankment and rolled over. There were no injuries and damage was estimated at a thousand dollars. She was cited for reckless driving. On Route 621 west of Woodville Patrick Crowley of Woodville in a 74 Volkswagen was struck by a 66 Ford operated by Joseph Bernado of Washington, D.C. Damage was moderate. There were no injuries and Bernado was charged with failing to drive to the right of the road.D Letters to the editor Letter’s ‘personal’ tone is regretted Editor: Please allow me to publicly express my regret over the tone of personal references to Mr. Ed Harris in my letter to the editor last week. My obvious resentment of what appeared to be divisive journalism should not have justified statements on a personal level.

Kenneth Robinson urged Rappahannock County High School graduates Sunday night “to compare our system of government with any other in the world and ask yourself if you would trade ours off—keeping in mind that the shortcomings, in most cases, are not faults in our system but lapses of character in individuals, who should be called to account.” “It is essential that we, the people, of every age, of every social and economic condition, participate actively in the system, and be vigilant as to the actions, or inactions, or those of our number, who have been chosen for positions of power and influence over the lives of us all,” Robinson said. The 7th District Representative delivered the baccalaureate address to the 1975 graduating class of Rappahannock County High School. He noted that, “despite the solid record of survivability, doubt and cynicism about the institutions of government have spread” and added: “IT IS understandable that faith in the worthiness of our system would be shaken by revelations of unethical and even criminal conduct in high places in the national government by Men of presumed honor, and law-breaking by executives of major corporations with names respected in the marketplace. “I submit to you the thought that the body of our citizenry has taken too much for granted. “Integrity should be an honored principle of every public servant, but should it not be such with each of us, whether in public or private life? “The strains of greed, duplicity and contempt for the rights of others persist in the human community. “Rascality, brutality, intolerance and other human failings which combine to disrupt the peaceful enjoyment of life, have not been stamped out in our society. “Essentially, however, there ifejust as much reason to have faith in our system of government today as there was among the framers of the Constitution.”□ FIRE, RESCUE SQUAD NOTES May 27 Washington Fire Company answered a call to Payne’s Garage where a truck was on fire.

y Rappahannock mare adopts orphan A RAPPAHANNOCK County mare has come to the rescue of an “orphan” foal at Rockburn *o*N§table, near Marshall. The mare immediately adopted the young colt, and now seems to favor him over her own filly. The young “orphan” was born May 12 and the 22-year-old mare, How High, seemed to have an easy birth, according to Shelley Warren, manager of Rockburn Stables. But when the rounds were made at midnight, the mare was found dead. She had hemorrhaged, but there were no signs of struggle in the stall, Mrs. Warren said. How High had belonged to John D. Archbold of Upperville for nearly 15 years. The sire of the young foal, also owned by Archbold, is Quadravan, a son of Quadrangle. When How High died, her foal was only 12 hours old. Mrs. Warren was worried that he wouldn’t live, since it’s rare that a mare will accept a strange foal. “We tried a mare of Eggie Mills’s, one that had just lost a foal of her own. They’re supposed to be more likely to accept another foal. But she was hateful. She kicked at him, and wouldn’t accept him,” Shelley Warren said. “For three days we fed the orphan by putting a twitch on that Mills’s mare or some of our own mares here. But that wasn’t working. It was awful. Then Bobby Clark, the farrier, told us about this mare in Rappahannock with a marvelous disposition. She had a foal about BRIDGE CLUB Mrs. L.J.

Leda accepted the orphan immediately. “She even favors the orphan over her own filly,” Shelley Warren said. “The filly can slip out of the barn and go around the corner to graze and the mare doesn’t whinny for her or even know she’s gone. But the minute the orphan gets away, she’s right out there with him.” Fortunately, Rockburn Stable had perfect quarters for the threesome. They have a single stall barn, larger than an average box stall, with its own paddock, all to themselves. “We were lucky to have this,” Mrs. Warren said. “Three horses is a lot of horse for one stall.” Sallie will be glad when Leda and her filly come back to Rappahannock.

Planning commission turns down grant A ChLLED meeting of the Rappahannock Planning Commission was held Monday night at the courthouse in Washington. With all members present, it lasted about a half hour, just long enough for the members to vote for the second time, against accepting a $10,000 grant from HUD. A four to one vote, with only Supervisor E.P. Luke, in favor, had been taken at a previous meeting of the Commission in May . Luke, at Monday’s meeting, was obviously dragging his feet at first, but changed to join the unanimous Byrd to speak at dedication The new G. Richard Thompson Wildlife Management will be dedicated in ceremonies Saturday, June 7. The Virginia Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries is renaming the 3,800 acre wild life management area, formerly known . as Apple Manor in honor of Thompson, who was instrumental in obtaining the land for the state. Thompson, who lives in Marshall, retired from the Game and Inland Fisheries Commission two years ago. Virginia Senator Harry Flood Byrd, Jr. will be the speaker at the dedication. The public is invited to the ceremonies which will begin at noon. The dedication ceremony will take place at the Thompson Memorial Lake on Route 688 three miles south of Paris or six miles north of Markham.□ IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of my dear son, Curtis Waldo Cliffin, who died one year ago June 5.

Barksdale was adamant in his opposition to the grant, which would enable the county to employ: someone to assist the local planning commission with a county comprehensive plan to be finalized in 1980. Arthur Warren, executive director of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District, was present to answer questions concerning the manner in which the money would be disbursed. Barksdale wanted to know if HUD was paying them just to create another job. Warren agreed that to get the $10,000 Rappahannock would have to put up $5,000 and the person employed would hold the position for the next five years. When he said this was going to save the taxpayers money, Walter Masterson asked where HUD got its money. Warren’s reply was “from the taxpayer.” George Davis, Commonwealth’s Attorney thought it would be foolish to hire someone to help who does not know as much about this as we do. 0 LUKE countered that he felt he’d like to take advantage of the assistance and said, “I think we should get involved with the 1980 goal in mind. Get the maps...” Davis interrupted with, “We’ve got all of that. If we could get money for printing cost or things like that...” Barksdale said, “We got no need a ‘tall for it now.” Flower show The Rappahannock County Garden Club will hold an intra-club flower show on Wednesday, June 11, at Roundabout Farm, Sperryville, at 2 p.m. Mrs. Dale Metzinger and Mrs. Maurice Biddle are co-hostesses; Mrs. Nels Parson is show chairman. Classes for entries will be patio buffet, entrance hall and coffee table. Entries should be in place before 2 p.m.D Available farm programs THE Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS) has issued a complete recap of previously announced farm program provisions. Highlights of the 1975 program include: (1) no land set-aside or conserving base requirement; (2) no limit on the amount of wheat, feed grains or cotton acreage a farmer can plant; (3) disaster payments for prevented planting or abnormally low yields; (4) deficiency payments if market prices fall below target prices; (5) acreage allotments used only to determine the maximum acreage eligible for payment; (6) crop substitution to protect allotment history; and (7) a $20,000 limitation on the amount of payments a person can receive under all programs combined. UNDER the disaster provisions of the programs, county ASCS personnel must inspect and appraise the damage done to the crop prior to the awarding of payments. There were some difficulties last year in many areas of the country when farmers plowed under their damaged crops before they notified the county ASCS office; When the inspector got to the farm, all he could see was plowed field, not damaged crops. Disaster payments are made for two major reasons; prevented planting and low yields. For farms eligible for prevented planting payment, the payment will be computed on the basis of the farm’s payment yield times the allotted acreage on which planting is prevented. To be eligible for an abnormally low yield payment, the total actual production for a crop must be less than the farm acreage allotment for that crop (or planted acres, if smaller) times the disaster program yield. The payment for the farm will be computed on a quantity equal to the difference between the payment yield times the farm allotment (or planted acres, if smaller) and the total actual production. For additional information on the provisions of the 1975 farm programs, contact the local ASCS office. □ f 2 Hot Swiss Steak Vegetables Adults *4.25 Haddock Fish Tea or Coffee . ,,!## • 7:J# Children 10 Yoo may also ardor ffroM tho mooo years old Hy-Wy Restaurant 1S2S Shenandoah Aye.

Shaffer stated that “the 1975 total of 2,568 birds killed was only 198 less than the 2,766 killed during the high harvest year of 1972. The 1975 total represents a 369 bird, or a nearly 17%increase over the results of the 1974 Spring Gobbler season.” He also explained that the near record harvest substantiated the good spring anc summer hatch of birds observed by the Commission’s biologists in 1974. Every region of the state recorded increases over last year with the exception of the Northern Piedmont. The counties recording the highest harvest west of the Blue Ridge included: Augusta, 96; Wythe, 92; Rockbridge, 88 and Batli with 86. East of the Blue Ridge high tallies were recorded in Albemarle, 74; Dinwiddie, 64; Loudoun, 58; Charlotte, 53; and Prince Edward with 51.□ WANTED SCRAP CAST IRON We art now payinc $ 2 a 0 0 p* CWT up 1000 lbs.

Other special duty has been in Norfolk, Richmond and Northern Virginia during riots in recent years, and other times picket lines during strikes required extra attention. “I’ve only used my gun once in all of that time, and that was to halt a fleeing suspect at night. I fired into the air; he dropped into the dry leaves on the ground and was so quiet I was afraid I had hit him.” “During my travels I’ve had about five fender benders and one major wreck, that one within the past few months. In one incident I was pursuing a vehicle, skidded off a curve and down a bank, but I never stopped going. My car was on such a twist that the windshield jumped out of the channel and when it straightened up the glass crumpled.” RAPPAHANNOCK was formerly alligned with Culpeper, Madison, Orange and Greene counties, but is presently affiliated with Page and Shenandoah which is Area 14 of the Second Division. In his time in Rappahannock, five associates have served with him, including John Lohman, Paul Dicks, J.B. Willis and currently Rufus Baines and J.A. Watson. The Buntins live in Washington and have a daughter, Nancy, who is doing graduate study at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond. “The cooperation of the people in the county and the area has been good and I’ve appreciated it.

State acquires 3,800 Fauquier acres ■S, THROUGH the joint efforts of Inland Fisheries and the Nature Conservancy, 3,800 acres of Fauquier land near Sumerduck on the Rappahannock River have been saved from future development. The two tracts, which will be sold for $3.5 million, include about five and a half miles of riverfront on the portion of the Rappahannock River that is being studied by the Commission of Outdoor Recreation for possible “scenic river” designation. Fauquier’s Lee District Supervisor Sam Butler said the county was glad to see the state purchase BIRTH ANNOUNCED Mr. and Mrs. Roger L. Torneden of Kobe, Japan announce^ the birth of a daughter Stephanie Makiko on May 10, 1975. Dr. and Mrs. Robert J. Rodgers of Flint Hill are the maternal grandparents.□ the land, “instead of a developer.” Butler said the Board of Supervisors wants to preserve the river as it is. The county owns a 300aere tract with two miles of riverfront above Kelly’s Ford; the land is planned to be a park. The two tracts of land to be purchased by the Game and Inland Fisheries are owned by Mrs. Beulah Setti and T. Henry Maddux, Jr. They will retain crop rights until January 1. The parcels are located about two miles south of Kelly’s Ford, The Nature Conservancy will purchase the land, then sell it back to the Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries at cost. The Commission plans to purchase the land in increments, hopefully obtaining title by July, 1976, when the land will be open to the public. Game and Inland Fisheries Executive Director Chester F. Phelps explained that the initial Jncre_-_ ment for purchase of the land will be the re-investment of $620,000 the Commission received when the Army Corps of Engineers bought a portion of the Gaithright Wildlife Management Area in Alleghany County in order to build a dam on the Jackson River.

I HAVE APPRECIATED YOUR HELP AND SUGGESTIONS ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS IN THE PAST, AND WITH YOUR SUPPORT, I WILL ENDEAVOR TO REPRESENT YOU TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY. J. Richard Latham Mary U. Latham, Campaign Treasurer THE COMMISSION plans to pay for the rest of the cost of the purchase from hunting and fishing license fee funds, and from federal wildlife restoration funds, which are derived from a manufacturers’s excise tax on sporting arms and ammunition. The Nature Conservancy is a non-profit organization that frequently assists federal, state and local agencies in acquiring land for wildlife management, natural areas, parks and other conservation purposes. In the past, the Conservancy has been instrumental in the acquisition of the Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge, the expansion of Virginia’s park program, and the preservation of offshore islands along the Eastern Shore, in addition to assisting in the acquisition of state wildlife management areas. Public ownership of this portion of the Rappahannock, said Phelps, will preserve the unique scenic, historic and recreational values of the area. It will also provide public access to the Rappahannock ’ River for fishing and boating as well as a new public hunting area in Northern Virginia, he added. Phelps said the purchase of the two tracts is considered particular important and timely by the Game and Inland Fisheries because the speculative price of land on the Rappahannock is increasing rapidly. The purchase is also considered to be a major help in the effort to protect both the Rappahannock and Rapidan Rivers as State Scenic Rivers. THE STATE Commission of Ou^ Y door Recreation is studying the possible scenic river designation of the Rappahannock River from Remington to Fredericksburg and the Rapidan River from the village of Rapidan to the confluence with the Rappahannock River. The State Legislature will consider the scenic river designation of the two rivers next year.

A ‘float’ to support a scenic river BY MARK HELMKE “SAVE THE Rappahannock, and dam the Engineers!” proclaims a song sung by the Float Fishermen of Virginia. The Corps of Engineers presently represent no threat to the Rappahannock River, but the Float Fishermen, who were active in the fight against the proposed Salem Church Dam, are now battling for the proposed State Scenic River designation of the Rappahannock and Rapidan Rivers, so that the corps or any other engineers won’t dam, develop and pollute the rivers. To help their cause Float Fishermen from all over the state, and some from North Carolina, hosted a group of state legislators, state and local officials, and members of the press to a trip down the Rappahannock River last weekend. Some 60 people made the canoe journey down the Rappahannock Saturday from Remington to Quail Hollow Farm, south ofSumerduck. The Float Fishermen had planned to take the group farther down the river Sunday, to the Rappahannock’s confluence with the Rapidan, but wet weather canceled that part of the trip. It wasn’t that anyone was afraid of getting wet, or of the river flooding, but the trucks and cars carrying the canoes wouldn’t have been able to drive through the muddy fields to the “take-out” point near the confluence. Even so, the one-day trip did enough to excite a number of legislators and officials to the wonders of white water and the natural, undeveloped beauty of the Rappahannock. Apparently busy with other affairs, few legislators and officials from areas directly around the portions of the Rappahannock and Rapidan under scenic river study, were able to attend the canoe trip, or “float.” But strong support for the protection of the rivers was expressed by legislators from the urbanized areas of Northern Virginia. Loudoun State Senator Charles Waddell and Fairfax Senator Clive Duval were on hand, as was Fairfax Delegate Tom Rothrock. There were also legislators from Norfolk, Portsmouth, Virginia Beach and Richmond. ACCORDING to Float Fishermen President Pete Rowe of Norfolk, more than 200 persons belong to the loosely organized group of sportsmen and conservationists, sharing “a common love for floating and fishing free-flowing rivers and streams.” The Float Fishermen are basically organized to enjoy and work for the protection of the state’s “wild and scenic rivers.” There are Float Fishermen (Great Csrs Make GreatDea/sy New and Used Cars and Trucks PIEDMONT Chevrolet-Oldsmobile, Inc. 04 N.

The Warrenton Chapter is named for famed Fauquier sportsman and conservationist Randy Carter, who was credited with having done more than any other person to fight for the protection of the Rappahannock River. Scott Carter and Joe Hollidge from the Randy Carter Chapter were on hand for the canoe trip. The Rappahannock River was crowded Saturday. Besides theFloat Fishermen’s flotilla of 35 canoes, there were numerous other canoes, kayaks and rafts floating down the river. Some conservationists have expressed the fear that State Scenic River designation of the Rappahannock would encourage overuse of the river. But others retort that people will use the river whether its designated “scenic” or not. More important is the protection of the river from damming and residential development, they add. STRONG opposition has already developed to the Commission of Outdoor Recreation’s study for the proposed scenic river designation of the Rappahannock and Rapidan. The state is studying the Rappahannock from Remington to Fred-j ericksburg and the Rapidan from the village of Rapidan in Orange County to its confluence with the Rappahannock. The City of Fredericksburg iS| against the scenic river designation because the city still wants a water supply dam to encourage more development. The city has spent a half million dollars to purchase land to build a water supply dam. Fredericksburg owns 350 acres in Fauquier in various oddly shaped parcels. A dam cannot be built on a designated scenic river, unless otherSee Pace I5l By RAP OWINGS Extension Agent, Agriculture RAPP CHATS HAY MAKING DEMONSTRATION—Rappahannock farmers are invited to Charles (Eddie) Sutphin’s hay making field day next Tuesday, June 10. Fahr and Gehl hay-making equipment and refreshments will be featured. The demonstrations will start about 1 p.m. and continue until twilight. You will have the opportunity to look over the Fahr mower, rake and centipede. The 880 Haybind will mow, condition and windrow all in one operation. And the Gehl bale 1500 (large round hay baler) will wind up the demonstration. The field day will take place about four miles east of Flint Hill on Route 647 on the Flint Hill-Hume road. Just watch for the signs. FEEDER CATTLE SALES—Wayne Freeze and Billy Staples, managers of the Front Royala Livestock Market are exploring the possibilities of having a special state graded feeder calf sale and a graded yearling sale at the Front Royal Market this Fall. Reggie B. Reynolds, executive secretary, Virginia Beef Cattle Association; Randall Updike, Virginia Division of Markets and Marketing, and the Extension Agents in Page, Warren and Rappahannock Comities, are working with Billy and Wayne to determine feeder cattle potential and producer reaction. The primary objective, as far as I am concerned, is not to take cattle away from existing sales, but to give producers already marketing quality cattle through the Front Royal Market an opportunity to package their cattle in larger more uniform lots that will command broader buyer response. I would appreciate producer reaction to these proposed sales before next Wednesday.

All other approved practices will carry a cost share rate of 50 percent of the cost of performing the practice not to exceed the amount approved by the County Committee. THE 1975 ACP offers two types of agreements to producers—the annual agreement for a one-year conservation program or the longterm agreement (LTA). The LTA offers farmers who have a farm plan prepared by the Soil Conservation Service the opportunity to enter into a three to ten year continuing program of conservation improvements. This type of agreement would be most beneficial to area producers wanting to perform rather extensive conservation improvements on their land, but preferring to spread them out over a period of years. All practices involving the application of lime and/or fertilizer will be considered for cost-sharing assistance on the basis of soil sample recommendations.

Phone VA5-8383 Culpeper State cattle price outlook THIS IS the way prospects for Virginia farm prices looked to the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Commerce on Friday. The Department offers it to farmers with the warning that no one can predict prices and be right all the time.) CATTLE — Cattle prices continue to show some advancement in recent weeks. Cattle feeders have indicated plans to reduce fed marketings more sharply in the months ahead. Intentions for April-June feedlot cattle to be marketed is the lowest for that period since 1965 and well below the level of the past nine months. Record inventories indicate that cattle slaughter supplies are potentially large, with a small proportion of slaughter coming from feedlots. Cattle slaughter in the upcoming months will be subject to more than the usual amount of variability, and a lot will depend on weather and other short term market conditions. 102nd ANNIVERSARY The Shiloh Baptist Church, Woodville, will celebrate the 102nd Anniversary of the church starting Monday, June 9 and continuing through Sunday, June 15. The following program is planned: Monday, June 9, Rev. R. L. Banks and choir; Tuesday, June 10, Rev. R. P. Pringle and choir; Wednesday, June 11, Rev. C. H. Sanford and choir; Thursday, June 12, Rev. W. J. Pittman and choir; Friday, June 13, a choir festival. Refreshments will be served following the festival. Sunday morning, June 15, services will be conducted by Rev. U. S. Brokenburr, pastor. Lunch will be served at 1 p.m. on Sunday, and Sunday afternoon will feature Rev. N. H. Stanton and choir. The public is invited to all of the above services.□ With normal weather, cattle slaughter in the summer 'and fall will continue heavy and prices could trend lower. On the other hand, general optimism among cattlemen for a rising market or sharp reduction in feed prices could temporarily reduce nonied slaughter supplies, producing a spurt in cattle prices. Another dry summer and a poor feed crop would result in some liquidation of the cattle herd and severely depress prices of all classes. The cold storage holdings of beef on May 1 were nine per cent below a month earlier and 25 per cent under last year. The slaughter cattle market last Thursday in Omaha closed with choice steers bringing $49-50.50; mixed good and choice steers $47. 50-49.50; choice heifers $47-49. 50; and mixed good heifers $45. 50-47.50. Cattle prices at Virginia auctions last week were: good steers $33-46; good heifers, $26-41. At a special state grad,-ed sale at Orange last week, choice steers were $47.75-50.75. HOGS—Hog prices have strengthened in recent weeks and are expected to continue strong in the next few months. Hog farmers are cutting pork production more than they planned earlier which reflects the uncertainties faced by farmers and high prices. The pig crop report released March 21 indicated Dec- ember-February Tarrowings we> reduced by 20 per cent from la year, and further cuts of 17per cent are planned through Aa ust. If those intentions are re. lized, pork production will be t lowest in nine years, and per ca, ita pork consumption could be t smallest in almost 40 years. Cold storage holdings of po on May 1 were 3 per cent abo* the previous month, but 15 p cent below last year. Hog prices last Thursday Peoria were: $48-49; Indianap lis, $48.25-49; St. Louis, $48.2~ 48.75; Richmond, $46.50; and So theast Virginia, $45.50-47.

ROBESON, TRUSTEE Robeson and Robeson 9304 Peabody Street Manassas, Virginia 22110 Attorneys for Noteholder c!2 A‘float’ to support a scenic river Fr ia Pa<»e 10 wi^provided for by the General Assembly. The legislature is expected to act on the proposed scenic river designation next year. At a public informational meeting held two weeks ago in Culpeper, a number of riverfront landowners from Orange and Culpeper Counties announced their opposition to the scenic river designation. They were opposed to any government action to protect the two rivers. They basically felt that if the state is permitted to call the rivers “scenic,” next the state will be condemning their land. ROB BLACKMORE, the Director of the Commission of Outdoor Recreation, has said that no land will be condemned if the two rivers are designated “scenic.” The Commission cannot condemn land, he said. Blackmore said that any agency named to administer the two rivers if they were designated as scenic would not have the right to condemnation, either. However, there has been some question of this, and Blackmore has asked the Attorney General for a ruling. Nonetheless, Blackmore feels that the legislature will not give any agency the right to condemnation on a scenic river. The Orange and Culpeper landowners were also opposed to any forced land use and zoning controls. Blackmore. however, has argued that the zoning controls already in existence in most of the counties bordered by the two rivers are adequate for protection. The scenic river agency will be empowered to take scenic easements on properties, if the landowners so desire. In response to the opposition from the landowners, some officials have expressed the fear that the state will drop the scenic river designation, enabling the federal government to name the rivers as National Scenic River. State and federal officials have said that both rivers do meet scenic river criteria. But with federal designation, condemnation of land for parkland could occur. But Blackmore has said that the Department of the Interior could not designate the two rivers under the National Scenic River Act unless the Virginia legislature agrees. However, an act of Congress could override that.
