In addition, one state senate seat will be filled. Only two county offices are contested alone with one supervisor’s seat and the senate seat. Over 2,500 voters are presently registered in Rappahannock County, and a heavy turnout is anticipated. In the last election for county officials, approximately 1,500 ballots were cast. A three-way race is progressing for a Sheriff of the county with incumbent John W alker Jenkins be - ing opposed by former state trooper William A. Buntin and by oneof his former deputies, Everett J. Estes, both of Washington. Jenkins is from Sperryville and has held the office for one term. Jenkins is a native of Sperryville, served with the U. S. Army, was once a deputy here and is married to the former Marlene Marr. He is a member and past officer of Sperryville Fire Department. Buntin was born in Halifax County. He .served with the U. S. Army in the Military Police and was employed as a state police man until his retirement in June of this year. He is married to the former Elizabeth Guenter and they have a daughter Nancy, an art major at VCU, Richmond. Estes, a Culpeper native, was formerly a deputy of the Sheriff’s Department here. His military service was with the U. S. Air Force. While a deputy he completed a basic police training course. He is married to the former Vivian Marie Henry and they have three children, Ginger, Robin and Everett, Jr. THE second contested county seat is that of Commissioner of the Revenue with incumbent Virginia D. Smith having Marilyn M errill Bailey as an opponent. Both reside in the Washington area. Mrs. Smith, who worked for 15 years as Deputy in the office, has served one term as Commissioner since she was elected in 1971. She came here from Alexandria with her husband Harry Lee Smith after his retirement from the U. S. Navy. She attended Temple Business School. The Smiths have two grown daughters, Mollie and Lee.

Miller has served a term in the House of Delegates and Aldhizer has held the senate seat for 22 years. □ House tour a success THE house tour sponsored by the Rappahannock Historic Society on October 18 and 19, according to attendance, was most sucessful and from observation, was judged to have been enjoyed by the 350 so attending. The quaint log cabins which were open depicted the early culture and hostesses in costume emphazised the era. The home of Capt. and Mrs. George Sharp and that of the Waldron O’Connors contrasted sharply; the very old and the very new. Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Jenkins and sons James and John of Woodville were named the outstanding farmer in Rappahannock at the Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District dinner meeting held last Wednesday at Graves Lodge. H. S. Barksdale, center, presented the award to the family. Except for his military service Mr. Jenkins has spent his entire life on the farm in F. T. Valley. He has a most successful orchard operation and derives all of his income from the farm. An enthusiastic group met Tuesday evening at the Trinity parish house, those of the tour committee and those who were hostesses or helped with the tour, to hash over events and make note of possible improvements and changes for another year. The total recognized from the house tour only was in excess of $1500. Mrs. Virginia Miller, speaking for the group, expressed appreciation to all for their participation, attendance, help, time and all efforts projected for the success of the tour. PROPOSED work and improvement to the old building in the town of Washington being restored by the Historical Society was discussed and planned. The society also reports that it has a booklet for sale concerning the Firsts of the Second Rappahannock County. Contact a member for your copy.

SARAH C LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Regional danger WHEN the News grumbled warnings about the dangers of the regional planning commission, and even urged Rappahannock to refrain from membership, regional bureaucrats assured everyone that the peril of another layer of government was so remote that it didn’t even deserve consideration. Planning districts were to be advisory only, helping local government become even stronger—and especially helping local government get in on all those nice fat federal grants floating around. As a matter of fact, the State of Virginia decreed that unless local governments agreed to join a planning district, they couldn’t qualify for those grants. That wasn’t exactly true, as things turned out, but the argument was compelling enough for all the rural holdouts in this area to finally give in and join up. Now the planning districts are starting to do what they said they’d never do—they’re planning to ask the General Assembly for authority to implement programs. Not just plan them, mind you; they want the power to set programs in motion, and the power to operate them, too. Things like sewer systems and welfare programs. Things that used to be subject to local, not regional, approval. WE THINK this would be a mistake, and let us trust that the General Assembly will turn it down. At a time of rising taxes and increasing strictures on individuals and localities, the one thing we don’t need is a new regional bureaucracy with the power to initiate and carry out new, expensive programs, whether anyone at the local level likes it or not. The next step, of course, is to ask for taxing power, too. After all, those programs have to be paid for, and the magic grants that were supposed to pay for everything have a way of disappearing when the bills come due. □ Absentee ballots The last day to vote by absentee ballot is November 1. Voters who will be absent on election day November 4 must obtain absentee ballots from their local office of the General Registrar. Military personnel and their spouses, students and their spouses, persons employed overseas, their dependents and spouses, and persons physically unable to to to the polls may vote by absentee ballot, if they apply by October 30. Bicentennial plates OVER fifty thousand advance applications have been received for Virginia’s colorful red, white and blue Bicentennial license plates, which the Division of Motor Vehicles will begin issuing on January 1, 1976. Since July, DMV has been enclosing applications for the optional passenger car tags with registration renewal notices, but car owners may obtain applications at any DMV office or vehicle license agency. Buyers will pay a one-time fee of $5, plus normal annual registration fees, and will display the commemorative Bicentennials during the period January 1, 1976 to December 31, 1981. □ “Close-up” The Closeup last week, a level, was identified by only one reader, Landra Silvey of Amissville.

Letters to the editor Aldhizer supported Editor: The voters of the City of Harrisonburg and the counties of Rockingham, Culpeper, Page, Rappahannock and Madison are too well informed and patriotic to elect a representative to the General Assembly who would be a freewheeling spending liberal or who would vote for a labor dominated government in our state. As a citizen with lifetime interest in Sperryville and Brandy Station, Va., I am concerned that some voters might vote on November 4 for an attractive, capable, young man Miller for the State Senate, instead of a capable, talented, experienced, older man Aldhizer. Both of the candidates are of similar political philosophy, and I am sure on important questions would vote properly and pretty much alike. They would probably vote like our two very capable Washington representatives, Senator Harry Byrd, Jr. and Representative Kenneth Robinson, would vote were they still in the General Assembly. But the improtant point is that one man, Aldhizer, through his 25 years in the General Assembly, has attained Chairman of the State Commerce and Labor Committee, second ranking member of the Senate Finance Committee, and Chairman of the Majority Caucus, and this year particularly it is critically important to the Commonwealth that the experience and leadership of George Aldhizer be present. An unranked freshman Senator, regardless of his desire or personal qualifications, would not be given any leadership responsibilities and could play only a minor role in shaping the major decisions of the Senate in the next four years. If George Aldhizer is not returned to the Senate, the chairmanship of the Senate Commerce and Labor Committee undoubtedly will pass to a Senator from another part of the state, who has in the past voted for public employee collective bargaining. Our Governor Mills Godwin needs the help George A1Jhizer can and will render. This is a close race, and I would hope that the voters will give Senator Aldhizer the support on November 4th that he has earned and whose experience our great Commonwealth needs at this particular time. J. Clifford Miller, Jr. Tax conferences are scheduled A series of farm and small business income tax conferences are scheduled to be held at several locations over the state during November and December.

Dance co-chairmen Majorie Dahlgren and Helen Dawson have announced that top prizes to be raffled will be a $50 cash bond, a load of hay and a basket of assorted liquors and wines. But there’ll be attractions aplenty to console the nonwinners, who will be entertained by Claude Embrey’s band and square dance caller in one of this area’s most unique and handsomely renovated barns. Imaginative decorations dreamed up by Natalie Lewis and her helpers will add to the enchantment. What’s more, we’ll bet it’s the first time most people will get first look at some real “jaws.” They will when they see the Dawsons’ stuffed shark eyeballing them from a wall overhead.

Republican candidate for state senator Nathan Miller is expected to be among guests. Tickets are on sale at The Country Store, Washington; Corner Store, Sperryville; Bradford’s Store and Rappahannock Tack Shop, Flint Hill; and Warren Paint and Supply, Front Royal. They can also be purchased at the door. _ Virginia a leader in tree planting EARLY reports indicate that Virginia’s private woodland owners are once again among the leaders in the Nation in forest tree planting. Furthermore, the Virginia Division of Forestry tree nurseries produced a record number of seedlings which were sold to Virginia landowners. “All Virginians can and should share in this accomplishment,” said State Forester Wallace F. Custard. Virginia’s total reforested acres on non-government land exceed ed 84,000 acres during the winter and spring planting season of 197475. Although this is a little shy of the targeted 100,000 acres hoped for, Custard explained that the stalled economy is partially responsible for the shortage. The Virginia Division of Forestry tree nurseries located in Augusta and New Kent Counties produced 26 different species of tree seedlings for Virginia landowners. The record production exceeded 53 million trees with Trooper division judged a success The Virginia State Police Department’s investigative division has completed a successful first year, according to Superintendent Harold W. Burgess. This division made 4,040 arrests and brought 3,793 of its 4,186 cases to a successful conclusion said the superintendent’s report. This division had received criticism earlier from the General Assembly when the House Militia and Police Committee said that it was intended that the group would become a specialized force to deal with sophisticated white-collar crime. Some members of the committee felt that lawyers, accountants and other specialized should be on the staff, and that investigators had not developed the necessary expertise. Burgess said he is very pleased with the activities of this division. PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCE There will be a Parent Teacher Conference at Rappahannock County High School Wednesday, November 5, between 7 and 9 p.m. All parents are urged to attend. Refreshments will be served in the library. the major species being loblolly pine. BOTH nurseries will begin lifting, packaging and shipping tree seedlings in mid-November. The estimated production will be equal to or exceed the record 1974 figures. Virginia landowners planning reforestation programs should consult with their local foresters so that orders for the proper species and number of trees needed can be processed, 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 last forest inventory,” said Custard. For esters are now in the process of taking another statewide forest inventory. Results of this inventory will not be available until late 1976. There are more than 68,000 wage earners directly dependent on the forest industry which is dependent on the raw material supplied by our forests. The citizens of the state and Nation demand the products of the industry. This means that we must continue a strong reforestation program and encourage wise management on all 16 million acres of Virginia’s wooded areas. “Virginia can and must retain her leadership position because of economics and the many other forest resource related values,” concluded Custard.

Washington Street Alexandria, Virginia 22314 The Bi’centennidl Bugle By WALDRON O’CONNOR IT ALMOST (but not quite, as you can see from this column) goes without saying that Rappahannock County is going to celebrate the two hundredth anniversary of the Declaration of Independence in a manner that will long be remembered. Under the experienced chairmanship of Mrs. Dorothy Davis, appropriate observances will take place in each of the 12 months of 1976. The list of these monthly affairs has already been sent to Richmond to appear in the Virginia calendar for 1976 and a duplicate list will be appended here. The success of these 12 projects will of course depend heavily on Rappahannock’s enthusiasm, and to supply essential information from which that enthusiasm can draw sustenance this column will appear each month from now on until the last toot of ‘76 has tooted itself out. Individual chairpersons from these events have been or are being chosen, and some are well under way with their plans. The entire program will be a finely orchestrated effort, worthy of the time and place. CALLS for various kinds of assistance will be from time to time, sounded here, and it will be the happy task of this bugler to keep in time. Please, therefore, listen here and also watch the windows of the Country Store for featured facts of the forthcoming festivities in 1976.

Report oh ‘crime attitude9 survey The Governor’s Council on criminal justice presented a report the middle of October at the State l apitol on the results of a statewide public attitude survey. The survey findings are the results of p/J sonal interviews conducted with lOOOVirginians in May 1975. The agencies involved with the criminal justice system sought information on the level of citizen’s concern about crime and their understanding of the system. Those surveyed were asked what were the two or three most improtant problems facing the community. To this 55% specifically cited concern about crime and law enforcement. Economic concerns were mentioned by 50% and 16% or fewer named services (roads, sewers, etc) taxes and pollution. Also when respondents were asked to select two or three most important problems from a list of 12, concern in crime and law enforcement were evident. Here crime and drug problems ranked in the top four, behind inflation FIRE DEPARTMENT The regular meeting of the Washington Fire Department will be held at the fire house Monday, November 3, at 7 p.m. All members are urged to attend. □ CARD OF THANKS We wish to express our sincere thanks to all those who assisted us during the death of our loved one. To all our friends, neighbors, and relatives who sent cards, flowers, and food, and to the Sheriff’s Department and Dr. Martin.

As to the causes of crime, the survey indicated that Virginians feel drug use and addiction is the single most important factor leading to crime. The survey found about half, 48%, of the residents have had some kind of contact with police during the last year and a third report they personally have been victims of crime in the past few years. Most involved vandalism or burglary. Seven out of ten Virginians are somewhat familiar with their local police and six out of ten with the state police. Most expressed little familiarity with courts and corrections agencies. When asked to rate the job performance of each element of the criminal justice system, the state police got the most favorable rat ing of 77%; with county sheriffs rated 54% and local police departments 61%. Court and prosecution elements received generally favorable ratings and corrections functions re ceived the lowest ratings. The degree of familiarity of the residents with each category had an effect on the ratings, so those least known received the lowest ratings. Accidents reported C. G. Lawrence III of Amissville driving a 67 Ford truck on Route 613 Saturday night collided with a 1965 Chevrolet operated by buford Edwards, also of Amissvill, according to Trooper C. A. Moore. Both vehicles were declared a total loss after the truck flipped over and landed on top of the car, said Moore. Madelene Carter sustained a lacerated cheek and bruis ed shoulder and was taken to Fauquier Hospital by Amissville Rescue Squad. Just prior to that on Route 621 Stanley Settle Jr. and two passengers, Cid gers, Cindy Baldwin and Pat Settle, were involved in a single-car crash.

Sentencing of criminals should serve not only as punishment but also as a deterrent. I think the state Crime Commission’s expenditures of one-half million dollars to date is not the way to fight crime.” GUN CONTROL “I oppose all laws leading to restrictions on the rights of citizens to bear arms. All that gun control will do is put the weapons in the hands of the criminals rather than honest citizens.” PARI-MUTUEL BETTING (HORSERACING) ‘Pari-mutuel betting is another name for legalized gambling. I oppose it. Its adoption would, in my opinion, lead to organized crime. My opponent favors pari-mutuel betting but 1 believe the slate can raise money without resorting to condoning gambling.” EFFECTIVE REPRESENTATION “Effective representation means listening to people, answering their inquiries, helping them ‘with their state-related problems, visiting all parts of the district regularly, and treating all alike regardless of station in life.” .. first Wednesday in November.

Featherless chickens are too nervous FEATHERLESS chickens are nervous birds, but they might mean cheaper dinners. Raising chickens without feathers eliminates one step in processing the birds for market. And since a fourth of the protein in a broiler goes into its feathers, a nude bird would yield more meat. Research into featherless chickens began in 1953 when Ursula Abbott, a professor of bird genetics at the University of California at Davis, found one in a batch of chicks she had ordered from New Hampshire. Since then, scientific breeding has produced hundreds of the genetic freaks, the National Geographic Society says. Entire flocks in laboratories wear only an occasional wispy feather. But there are several reasons why none of the smooth-skinned birds have appeared on supermarket shelves. Whether from embarrassment or whatever, the denuded fowl are extremely nervous and prone to develop stomach ulcers. Without their protective coats, they also are susceptible to chills. Their feathered brethren can sur vive even freezing weather, but naked chickens shiver if the henhouse temperature dips even slightly. “THEY get so miserable that they stop eating and simply waste away,” reports Dr. Ralph Somes, Jr., who is studying the mutants at the University of Connecticut. Although pre-plucked broilers could save processing costs, the birds use up so much energy rushing about trying to keep warm that they eat more than other chickens their weight. Any profits to be made from featherless chickens are further reduced by the added cost of the fuel needed to keep their quarters adequately heated. But the strange-looking birds may have a future. Scientists are experimenting with economical methods of fattening them for marketing. At the University of Maryland, Drs. Max Rubin and Daniel E. Bigbee have found that under the right temperatures feed bills for featherless chickens need not be higher than for ordinary birds. When slaughtered, the feather 4-H leaders are honored PLANNING District 9 4-H Leaders were recognized at the Annual 4-H Leaders’ Award Banquet at the General Washington Dinner Theatre in Fredericksburg on Friday evening October 24th.

When cooked, the mutants provided up to 16 percent more meat. THE researchers believe that because denuded chickens are more energetic they develop less fat, which leads to less shrinkage in the oven. Added servings delivered to the dinner table might more than make up for those higher heating bills. And the featherless chickens might thrive in sunny, southern regions. Science has drastically altered poultry raising before. As late as 1934, more than 90 percent of the chickens on American tables were former layers, slaughtered after their egg production declined. Chicken was a costly meal reserved for holidays and special occasions. _ Today, chickeiis are specially bred to be layers or broilers, raised in “factories” on assembly - line feeding for quick results. A chicken dinner now is an inexpensive meal. In 1973, a four-legged chicken was hatched near Indianola, Iowa. Someday, scientists may turn their attention to this phenomenon, for the benefit of drumstick-lovers everywhere. □ HCNTLY NEWS MRS.
