f Alternate diplomas’ are discussed By DAPHNE McCULLOUGH THE possibility of issuing ‘‘alternative diplomas” sparked a wide-ranging discussion at die March 11 Rappahannock School Board meeting. Board member Walter Masterson asked that the item be included on the agenda after an informal check revealed to him that a diploma from Rappahannock High School carries very little weight with Culpeper businesses. Masterson wanted to knQW if it is possible to award different types of diplomas—a diploma upon completion of an academic program and a diploma upon completion of a trade program. To do this, School Superintendent O.A. Norton explained, would require a differentiated program with separate levels. Rappahannock would have to institute vocational, business and scholastic classes, a difficulty in a system of Rappahannock’s size. “For tiie size of this system, I think we have a remarkably good system,” said Board Chairman E.N. Montague, adding thatRappahannock couldn’t be fairly compared with schools graduating 500 students. According to recent figures, 60% of the students who enter the county high school complete graduation requirements, which is above the national median, and 20% go on to college. Norton went on to explain that housing presents a major stumbling block to a differentiated graduation program. More classroom space, offering greater flexibility in movement, would be needed, in order to hold classes on different . levels. “But I like the idea—very f$ch,” Norton added. ' “We do need to expand what we’re offering...this is not a case of watering down a diploma,” commented Board member Beverly Massie. “We need to do more in guidance and planning of schedules.” Cyclists hurt Three Amissville motorcyclists trail riding in the Big Woods sustained injuries when they ran into a wire cable across a logging road. Four others completing the group escaped the wire. Roger Cordani, Kenny Pullen and Rickey Wood were riding Sunday when the accident occurred. They were taken to Fauquier Hospital, Warrenton by Amissville Rescue Squad and Cordani was later transferred to the University of Virginia Hospital, Charlottesville. According to a spokesman for the rescue unit, Cordani had cuts and extensive bruises; Pullen received chest injures and a dislocated shoulder while Wood sustained a cut mouth, face and neck bruises and abrasions. Pullen and Wood have been released from the hospital and Cordani is expected home by the end of the week. “SCHEDULING seems to be the big problem,’’ interjected Walter Masterson. Norton said he knows of too many parents who demand that their children take more intense academic programs than the children are capable of coping with, exhibiting a “I-didn’t-go-tocollege, but I-want-my-child-togo” attitude. Chairman Montague added that a better understanding of the fading differentiation between blue collar and white collar work is needed by guidance counselors. Montague applauded the work being done by the Piedmont Vocational program, in this direction. The Vocational school has laid the groundwork for the formation of a corporation which would enable die school to purchase land and materials , build a house and then sell the house, plowing die profits from the sale back into the corpora tinn. Montague said the students have already built a small residence in the school building, taken it apart and reassembled it elsewhere, selling the house on a break-even basis. According to a report relayed by Montague from the Piedmont Vocational instructors, “students from Rappahannock apply themselves most dilligently and by and large are better mannered” than students from some of the other three counties involved. THE Piedmont Vocational School also includes a Title VI Learning Disabled program. Darrell Morris, the curriculum research instructor of the program, has been working with five stu■h. ...a. . . i.l dents and their teachers in Rappahannock for the past several weeks. Since his time is limited, Morris spends most of his time training teachers in the use of methods and materials. Piedmont is considering “LD” classes on a half-day basis for next year and two Rappahannock students will take part, according to Assistant School Superintendent T. A. Fleetwood. Montague reported on a meeting with the State Board of Education oy representatives irom Kappahannock. Montague, Supervisor Chairman Pete Luke, Superintendent Norton and School Board member Beverly Massie appeared on behalf of the county and were turned down in their request for approval of a substitute summer program for the 180-day kindergarten program required by the state. Rappahannock was granted a postponement of the opening of See Pec« 16 Cancer clinic Saturday NURSES who have volunteered their services for the skin cancer clinic which is set for Saturday, March 20, are Mrs. Doris Stump of Rock Mills, Mrs. Mary Cleverley, Flint Hill, and Mrs. Helen Fairfax of Washington.

LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Rural interests ANOTHER SESSION of the Virginia General Assembly has come and gone, and citizens of the Commonwealth are to be excused if they are left in a state of confusion after contemplating the benefits, if any, accomplished during that session. We aren’t going to get any higher direct state taxes, and for that we can be thankful, but what positive results can we be thankful for? Not a whole lot, we’re afraid. As a commentator at the last meeting of the Board of Supervisors noted, it seems that every additional session of the General Assembly, every new meeting of a state or regional governing or advisory body, only points up one glaring trend—the tendency for more and more power to be concentrated with centralized, urban interests, at the expense of rural areas and the people who live in rural areas. When it was first decreed, the “one man, one vote” doctrine established by the Supreme Court seemed to be a Good Thing. People are the ones who must be represented by government, it was loudly acclaimed, not trees. So counties and districts and states were re-districted and rearranged, all in the interest of “one man, one vote,” and everybody congratulated themselves on the infinite wisdom of the exercise. t IN PRACTICE, it hasn’t worked out quite as well as the reformers hoped. In fact, it appears that there was a great deal of native wisdom involved in providing for somewhat disproportionate representation of rural areas— a fact of life which at one time inspired expressions of horror and outrage among those who were so jealous of the hope and promise of democracy in America. But it turns out that there is a great deal to be said for “community of interest,’’ and whpn governmental representation was rearranged to ignore this fact—in favor of as near perfect population representation as was statistically possible—something vital was taken out of the representative form of government. Areas should be as well represented as individuals, in many instances, for it is the character of neighborhoods and communities of interest that help shape the political, moral and economic outlook of individuals. RAPPAHANNOCK, as a rural county with sparse population, has found itself being dictated to with increasing indifference on the part of regional, state and federal authorities. “One man, one vote” has meant a virtual disenfranchisement to people living in rural areas such as ours. If the cause of true democracy is to be served, this is one Supreme Court doctrine which begs for reconsideration. A PROCLAMATION WHEREAS: The American Cancer Society and its Rappahannock Chapter thereof begins this Bicentennial year in April with a crusade for funds to assist in the eradication of this dread disease, and WHEREAS: The Board of Supervisors of Rappahannock County has, by Resolution, declared April as Cancer Month, and WHEREAS: The Rappahannock County Chapter has scheduled a free skin cancer examination clinic on March 20 in Washington, Virginia, to assist County citizens, NOW THEREFORE: All county citizens are urged to avail themselves of the free skin cancer examination clinic for all men, women and children of the County and to support the Crusade to the best of their ability. * W BOARD OF SUPERVISORS RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY ; v By E.

Letters to the editor Ed Harris is praised Editor: The passing away of our good friend, Ed Harris, is a real loss to this community. We all knew him as a man who stood_up for what he believed. We may not always have agreed with him but more often than not in the final analysis he turned out to be right. I was fortunate enough to know him better than most people and I can only say I wished more of us had his qualities. He was a man who cared. He cared aoout the Vietnamese, the American boys, he cared about the basic freedom of Americans or his poor old dog Luke. All through his life he fought for decency and the welfare of his fellow men. From the powerful “oil lobby” to the Vepco powerlines. Ed, my friend, you won’t be forgotten. May your spirit, decency and love live on in others. Werner Krebser Re-cycling urged Editor: Last Saturday as I delivered my bundle of newspapers and crushed cardboard boxes to the Re-cycling Center in Washington, Va., I couldn’t help thinking how nice it would be if everyone in the county would bring their reuseable paper, cans and bottles to the trailer behind Merrill’s garage. That would not only help conserve energy, but it would also help relieve the overloading of the county’s dumpsters, and save money for our treasury. What better way to save tax dollars and energy, and help kwp out county tidy than by filling up the Re-cycling Center every Saturday. Trash would, of course, still go to the dump. Howard Holschuh Rock Mills Eye donors are needed IT IS a common misunderstanding that poor eyesight is a barrier to eye donations, says R. Kenneth Hudgins, executive director of the Old Dominion Eye Bank. Eye tissue which has been donated, on death, by an individual with poor eyesight, Hudgins said, - can be just as valuable and effective in sight-restoring corneal transplant operations as tissue from the eyes of a person with perfect vision. The pnly portion of the eye used in a corneal transplant operation, he pointed out, is the cornea, the thin, transparent lens-like “window” of the eye. Hudgins said the need for eye tissue is urgent and the number of requests received from Virginia eye surgeons increases each day. During the past six months, he said, more than 51 blind persons have been given sight-restoring corneal transplants using eye tissue donated on death by Virginians. EYE TISSUE that is provided through the humanitarian service of the Old Dominion Eye Bank is neither bought nor sold, it is supplied without charge to the transplant recipient. Hudgins said approximately ten percent of those now blind can be given the “gift of sight” through corneal transplants. Anyone wishing to pledge their eyes, on death, to the eye bank for the purpose of restoring sight to someone now blind can do so by getting an eye donor card from any member of a local Lions Club or by contacting the Old Dominion Eye Bank and Research, Inc., 408 North 12th Street, Richmond, 23219.□

Rappahannock re-cycling needs a boost ENDORSEMENT by the Rappahannock Supervisors would do a lot to help insure the success of a re-cycling program being inaugurated in the Town of Washington, members of the Board were told at their March meeting. “You guys have to lead the way,” was the way Washington Mayor Peter Kramer put it, and the Supervisors agreed they’d consider active participation in the program when it conies time to draw up next year’s budget of county expenditures. Appearing before the Supervisors to explain the program was June Jordan, who estimated that 50 per cent of what the county spends for trash collections could be saved if a re-cycling program reached its full potential. Woman hurt in accident Barbara Elizabeth Lane of Woodville sustained serious injury in a collision last Wednesday afternoon on Route 522 near Huntly. Involved were Miss Lane in a 72 Jeep Wagoneer and Leon Smith of Sperryville in a 57 International truck. According to Trooper C. A. Moore , both vehicles were traveling south when Smith made a left turn into the dumpster area and Miss Lane attempted to pass. - She sideswpied the truck, lost control of her vehicle and struck a bridge abutment. She was pinned in the vehicle.

Home Admission Price-Adults $1.00 Students .50 Voter reminder Mrs. Joan Mahan, Secretary of the State Board of Elections, urges all Virginians who move their place of residence before the May 4 election to transfer their voting registration to the election district of their new residence. The last day to do this is April 3, for the town elections in May. Mrs. Mahan noted that if a voter fails to advise the registrar of his change of residence from one place to another, and the move occurred more than 30 days prior to the election, such voter may not be permitted to vote. Virginia law requires that a person, to be entitled to vote, must be a citizen of the United States, eighteen years of age, a resident of the Commonwealth and of the precinct in which he offers to vote 30 days prior to the election .and must be duly registered and otherwise qualified under the Con- I stitution.D r fcooh Corner Productions Presents The First Annual 1 SPRING FUNG Dinner s Dance with the TIMBERLINE FLYERS & others Saturday March 20 the First Day of Spring Washington Community Center DINNER from 7 p.m. Spaghetti - Fried Rice Dinners from $ 1.25 MUSIC at 8 p.m. Admission $2.00 ^^Benefl^theJillfadalefrlva-lfij The re-cycling center is being established at Merrill’s Garage, she said, and she encouraged the Supervisors to “encourage” the program. CHAIRMAN Pete Luke was enthusiastic; Supervisors H. B. Wood and Clarence Baldwin were skeptical. “The problem is how do we increase the people’s awareness of the need for re-cycling,” said Mayor Kramer. “We need a major educational effort.” He admitted the program would be “a money losing” proposition to begin with, but he predicted that it could realize great savings to the county later on. It would also be a good way to “save our precious natural resources,” the Mayor added. Money from the county would help hire a monitor for the center, said June Jordan. “It’ll be a mess if you don’t have a monitor.” Luke agreed, noting that the county is now spending more than $36,000 a year for trash collections, much of it in extra charges for overloaded dumpsters and trash left on the ground. “If people would just put it in die dumpster, we could save $390 a month,” said H. B. Wood. KRAMER said this was another instance where “a long-range educational program’ ’ could be of ben - efifcto the county. Luke noted that one man caught misusing one dumpster site had only been fined $15 by the court. “That wouldn’t pay for what he put on the ground.” But the Chairman promised Kramer “we’ll try to work something into the budget cycle to help the program.”□ offers you a FREE Electric Starter with the purchase of a Rocket Tiller!

Rappahannock office study group formed THE Rappahannock Supervisors’ office space study committee was reconstituted at the March meeting of the board. Its task remains evaluating current county space needs, and recommending the best way of solving those needs. A new committee was named after Chairman Pete Luke noted that action taken at the February meeting on a '“study committee conflicted with a previous action. Luke was absent from the February meeting because of illness. Supervisor H. B. Wood agreed that the conflict ought to be resolved, but he thought that in setting up a committee, at least one person ought to be named from every magisterial district. “Hie more input we get from citizens, the better oft we’ll be,” he said; maybe, even, two members from each district would be better. Wood’s motion to abolish the old committee and “reconstitute” a new one then carried. Luke then said he’d like to see Fanning Baumgardner, county planning and zoning administrator, serve as chairman of the committee, which would contain four members. WOOD didn’t like that idea. “You ought to be (mi as a member from the Board,” he told Luke, “and then let the committee choose its own chairman.” Wood also expanded on his earlier thought, and said maybe two members from each district would be even better. He named Walter Masterson and James H. Falls as his members. Supervisors Clarence Baldwin named A. H. Keyser and Randall Updike. Supervisors J. R. Latham and Luke said they’d name their members later.

S. Routes 522 and 340 North. This festival is being held in conjunction with the tenth running of the Virginia Championship Canoe Races and is sponsored by the Warren County 4-H Council and the Shenandoah Valley Outdoor Drama Association to celebrate our Bicentennial year. The canoe race is the largest such event in the U. S. and draws thousands to the Shen andoah Valley from all states east of the Mississippi. The festival takes its name from the well known legend of the naming of the Town of Front Royla which occured in the hectic pre-Revolutionary days. While drilling troops near the royal oak that shaded the town common, the drill officer would shout the order “Front the royal oak.” In that way he restored troop order and unknowingly named a town. Numerous craftsmen are planning to take part in the festivities and will offer their craft items for sale. Models for the Saturday fashion show sponsored by Rappahannock Womens Club include these handsome young men, Tom Massie, Jr., Bobby Baines and Warren Ellis. The show is at 2 p.m. in the local elementary school. ^ TOWN OF WASHINGTON,VIRGINIA OFFICIAL VOTING INFORMATION The Constitution of Virginia requires that you be roistered in the precinct in which you live in order to be qualified to vote.

' 11 -------- Some farmers were unable to apply enough nitrogen to wheat last year. The result was nitrogendeficient, lower-yield wheat. The nitrogen supply situation has improved over last year. Therefore, it is possible for growers to return to higher nitrogen rates and higher yields. For example, an application of 80 pounds of actual nitrogen per acre typically results in 15 extra bushels of wheat. Nitrogen demand for wheat. Wheat response to nitrogen is greater than with any other plant nutrient. The wheat plant uses nitrogen from the moment the ^ roots begin to // \\ function // until all //uptake of 1 nutrients V ceases with f maturity.' Every crop of wheat removes nitrogen from the soil. High yields call for adequate replacement of the nitrogen removed. Nitrogen removed by wheat.

New point-to-point course is ready By JUNE RUHSAM OLD DOMINION Hunt’s beautiful new point-to-point course, to be used on April 3, was unveiledSunr day by its designer, MFH William W. Brainard. It is located on Louise and Thomas Eastham’s farm, Ben Venue, which is on Route 729 one-half mile nbrth of Route 211, in Rappahannock County, 16 miles west of Warrenton. Route 729 is the dividing line between Old Dominion and Rappahannock Hunts. Hie course—with its lovely setting, excellent view of all fences, good footing and stout, inviting fences—should please both spectators and horsemen. Brainard likened the shape to that of a saucer, with the slopes running to the center, the fences set along the rim. Trees frame the edges and behind them are distant mountains. The three and a fourth mile timber course with 19 fences is three times around the mile and 120 feet, six-fence loop. Fences are 3’6” stake and bound chestnut rails, set at a slant. They are all alike, 40 feet wide, and are placed with good, uncomplicated approaches.’ Six furlongs is the length of the hurdle course, with the five hurdles set to the left of the timber fences. Hurdle races will be at distances of one and a half and two miles. Running close to the jumping courses in the flat course.

A ditch was dug and nearly 300 truckloads of dirt were removed. Large drainpipes were installed and two culverts made.

Tommy Eastham cleared the woods, seeded and rolled the course. Zeke Ferguson’s and Bill Doeller’s men were also among the many hard workers. According to Bill Brainard, it was “the most cooperative effort I’ve ever been involved in.’’ He scotched the rumor that Old Dominion’s new course would become the new Gold Cup course.

County ups the value of court house THE insured value of the County Court House and other county - owned building was increased as the result of a study conducted for the Board of Supervisors by Carson Johnson and Roger Batchelder. Johnson and Batchelder, who are both in the real estate business, had been spectators at the February meeting when an insurance proposal was heard by the Board. CRUISE ENJOYED Mrs. Iva Singleton of Zanesville, Ohio and Mrs. B.M. Miller of Washington have returned to their homes after a twelve day tour on the Queen Elizabeth II. On the cruise they visited St. Thomas, Virgin Islands; Martinique, Barbadas, Grenada, Venzuela, Curacao, and San Juan, Puerto Rico.D The Supervisors thought the values placed on county properties were too low, and ask the two real estate men to look into the matter. They estimated that the court house should be insured for $132,000, as opposed to the originally proposed figure of $78,000. Other findings were as follows, with the original figures in perentheses: The clerk’s building, $39,000 ($21,000); the treasurer’s' office, $18,500 ($8,500); the Extension Service office, $13,000 ($7,500); the jail, $90,000 ($53,000). The total figure, including allowances for contents of these buildings, came to $302,000, as opposed to die original total of $168,000. THE Supervisors thought these figures were more realistic and instructed Clerk Ned Jones to obtain insurance based on the higher estimates. Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis took the occasion to repeat an “urgent request” he’d made at the previous monthly meeting—that a new copying mach By RAP OWINGS Extension Agent, Agriculture RAPP CHATS VEGETABLE GARDENS: Last year several people complained about root maggots or wire worms in their root crops. Carrots, radishes, beets and turnips seemed to be the vegetables most severly affected. If you had this problem last year you may want to apply a 25% Diazinon spray concentrate (Spectracide) to the area you plan to plant these vegetables. Make application to soil surface as a broadcast spray before planting. Thoroughly mix the chemical into the top 4-8 inches of soil. Follow the mixing directions and safety precautions on the label. BOXWOOD' LEAFMINERS: For some reason the boxwood leafminer has been particularly abundant during the past two years. This is the little critter that feeds on the leaf tissue between the outer leaf layers. If you will look at the underside of the boxwood leaves, you will see little ridges or mines in which the larvae live and feed. If you are concerned about leafminers, bring a sample of your boxwoods by the Extension Office for identification and control recommendations. The time to spray is in early June, not now*. APPLE AND PEACH GROWERS are reminded that Ed. Phillips, V. P. I. Area Fruit Specialist, will be in the county every Wednesday morning starting March 31 and continuing until the end of May. If you have questions concerning orchard management, site and variety selection, insect and disease identification and control, please call on the Monday or Tuesday preceeding Ed’s weekly Wednesday visit. Ed will return your call or visit your orchard which ever is necessary. Since Ed. only has a limited amount of time, please do not make one call and expect Ed. to visit your orchard every week as this would be unfair to other orchardist in the county.

Supervisors consider tree projects TREES in the Town of Washington received the attention of the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors at their March meeting—new trees and old trees. The new trees are being planted throughout the town in a program being promoted by the Washington Town Council, and Town Mayor Peter Kramer appeared before the Board to ask for a small contribution toward theprogram. ... . Tne pianungs wm uiciuae some trees on the court house grounds, die Mayor said, and “it would be nice to have $25 toward the cost of the trees.” Mayor Kramer’s request reminded Board Chairman Pete Luke that two bids had been submitted on removing diseased and rotten trees on the court house lawn. One bid was for $950, but the Supervisors liked best Charles W. Jenkins’s bid to do the work for $450, including a large hemlock at the back of the court house which is too close to the building. But the Mayor’s request was handled first. Supervisor Clarence Baldwin expressed some reservations about buying trees which townspeople might not want. He said he’d heard some complaints from people who didn’t want any trees in front of their houses, but that stakes indicated the location of a new tree had been placed there anyway. “THAT’S why we put out the stakes,” said Mayor Kramer. “We put them where we thought they ought to go, but we wanted to let people know ahead of time, too, so that they could let us know.” And some people had let him know emphatically, he added, by pulling up the stakes. But he still thought it would be nice to plant some hardwoods around the town — maples, sycamores, oaks, pears, cherries, the FIRE, RESCUE SQUAD Saturday evening the Chester Gap Rescue Squad took Raymond Mahoney from his home in Huntly to Warren Memorial for treatment and return.

The Board approved the $25 donation for the project. THEN the question of removing old and diseased trees was taken up. Supervisors Baldwin and Butch Eastham thought the Board might avoid some criticism by seeking bids from more people before awarding the project, since die two estimates received up until then had been so far apart. The Rev. Jennings Hobson, who was in the audience, volunteered some information for the Board’s help in its considerations. While in college, he had worked for a tree firm during the summer, he said, and it is vital that qualified tree technicians be hired. Other wise, he warned, the work could be dangerous and perhaps pose a danger to the court house itself. Baldwin said he’d received some complaints from local people who wanted to bid on the job, and H.B. Wood agreed that advertising for bids might be the best way to handle the job. “We should do everything we can to give local people our business,” said Baldwin. BUT since this project had already gone so far, Eastham moved that Jenkins be given the job. His motion carried the stipulation that Clark Ned Jones “try to get him to get (liability) insurance, but don’t make the job contingent on it.’’ All Supervisors agreed that in the future they ought to seek more bids on such projects.□ Mrs. Pat Easly of the Dairy Council of Virginia presented a workshop on Supermarket Strategy Tuesday at Washington. The workshop is sponsored by the V.P.I. Extension Service. Mrs. Easly presented pros and cons of purchasing convenience foods and comparative shopping. i

Mrs. Gabe Burke celebrated her PANTHER TALES Last Tuesday and Wednesday may have looked to many like the White Christmas we never got and to many R.C.H.S. students it may well have felt like it because there was no school for those two days.. That is, for most students anyway. For a few, those taking part in the Senior play, which was to be that Friday, play practice went on as scheduled and from Friday and Saturday nights turn out, it was well worth the extra effort. The Senior play was a great success bringing in (with expenses deducted) over $600.00. “Pillow Talk” seemed a great success with both nights’ audiences. Ricky Dunn, as Alma, was definitely a show stopper keeping the crowd roaring with laughter both nights. Ray Rector as Jan and Tom Metzinger as Brad kept the audience in stitches with their romantic antics as the two leading characters. The final night of the play “Alma” presented the director, Mr. Bomberger with a pocket watch on behalf of the cast of the play. Meanwhile we’re all trying to decide if “Alma” is ready for the “bigtime!” What do you think Ruby?! l need to make a correction in my last article when I mistakenly referred to March 19 and 22 as our Easter Vacation Holidays. The 19th will remain as the 1st day off of spring break. Due to our snow days, RCHS students will be in school on the 22nd. So don’t forget students, no school this Friday.

We’ve got several new members on our track team, several 8th graders: Paul Kiethley, Ronnie Jenkins, Greg Bright and John Miller. We want to welcome them as new Panthers to our track team.

Report cards came out last Friday so we are now into our fifth 6 weeks grading period. Only a little over 10 more weeks of school left. Our sports schedules are finally completed.

Lots of garden stores can sell you a tiller... but we can sell you a Merry Tiller. What's the difference between any tiller and a Merry Tiller? For one thing, Merry Tiller invented the chain-drive tiller. With dependable chain-drive, you get more power at the rotors than from con ventional tillers. Of course, you can buy other chain-drive tillers that aren't Merry Tillers. But why bother when you can have the original and the best? The original... since 1947 The story of Merry Tiller's extra power Merry Tiller's exclusive chain-andsprocket drive consists of heavy-duty roller chain, sprockets and bearings— sealed in oil within a steel case. It's ^ simple. It's sensible. And it's so efficient, / a 4-hp Merry Tiller can out-work any |,j 6-hp worm gear machine!

Fashion show to benefit recreation HEAR the latest—that is, the latest this bugling can announce and still precede the March program for and by Rappahannock this very Saturday, the 20th, in this Bicentennial Year. The Rappahannock Women’s Club is collaborating with a Warrenton Store in a fashion show called “Dress Up America” at the Rappahannock Elementary School. The time is 2 p.m. The clothes come from neighboring Fauquier, but the wearers, about 30 of them from seven years onward and upward, come from this county to model the Spring and Summer styles for men, women, teenagers and smaller citizens. So carefully has President Susan Henry’s Show Committee planned this benefit for the Rappahannock Recreation Association that, under the supervision of Dawn Fisher, tea and cookies will be freely served during the midtime intermission which bisects the commentary provided by Mrs. Henry and Phil Irwin, whose voice is well known. Decorations are in the hands, literally, of Betty O’Connor; advertising is Pat Giles’s domain; and the models are being assembled and coached by Aney Massie and Louise Ellis. HEADING this busy group are Aileen Barnes and Darlene Moore, who have told me that besides a heartening hundred or more patrons supporting this effort, numerous companies are supplying “lots of door prizes,” so the tickets ($2.50 for adults, $1.25 for students) certainly promise their holders an entertaining afternoon at very modest cost. Do yourselves and the Recreation Association a great big favor by coming to the Elementary School this Saturday at two. Dun Keithley and Tammy Settle model evening wear tor jumor. in the om—rtf fashion show which will be presented Saturday at 2 o clock in Rappahannock County Elementary School auditorium. .... ......

The advertising of an auction to be held Friday, April 30, in Mr. J.W. Jenkins’s new quarters on Gay Street, Washington, was no passing dream even if the original notice was not repeated the following week. No, sirree. There’ll be an auction all right on that day, and it is earnestly hoped that the County can find a sizeable bunch of irresistable articles to change hands under the spell of Mr. Jenkins’s magic for the benefit of Rappahannock’s June extravaganza, the pageant “Let Freedom Ring.” More on this anon. TO TRILL the finale: ‘This same June production (on the 12th, a Saturday, at 8:45 p.m. in the 18th century shade of Montpelier) still needs loans of evening dresses of the ’30’s even if not in pristine condition. And does no one know the whereabouts of a bicycle built for two, or men’s straw hats from 1900 on? Please tap the brow to awaken a hibernating memory. It’s nearly spring. P.S. The boxes for June 12th have all been sold and the next best seats are being picked up. Ask Mrs. Franklin Hume, Sperryville, for nearest dispensary soon, if you’re hoping to witness the excitement that evening. —Waldron O’Connor Sickroom loan service planned The Rappahannock Lions Club has launched a drive to collect usable sickroom and convalescent supplies. Items collected will be stored in centrally located areas and loaned to persons needing them through the Rappahannock Clinic or a Lions Club custodian. The Lions’ goal is “to help make the ill or the convalescent person more independent, and at the same time save him or her from having to buy expensive items which might be needed for only a short time.” Anyone wxsning 10 donate a wneei chair, walker, cane, heating pad, bed pan, bed tray, vaporizer, thermometer, or other convalescent of sickroom necessity should contact any of the following Lions Club members: Clyde Johnson, 987 8655; John Schultz, 987-8916; or Fanning Baumgartner, 675-3371. Items should be clean and in operable condition. Lion Paul Nichols reminded prospective contributors that such donations are tax deductible.□ Red Cross drive Lt.-Gen.

Alternate diplomas From Page 1 kindergartens until September 1977, but the county must submit a plan for Kindergarten implementation, including objectives, staffing, housing and transportation. A question arose regarding possible ac^iitional stipulations required by the State Board of Education. According to the minutes of die meeting received from the information officer, the State Board requires that the Board of Supervisors give budget approval for the kindergarten program now. “I don’t think they can require us to ask the governing body to commit itself,” Montague commented. He didn’t recall this being mentioned at the meeting and the Board decided to request the information officer to go back and check the tapes in an attempt to explore the correctness of the communication. The Board approved a request from three out-of-county families for their first graders to enter Rappahannock Elementary School. All the families live near the Rappahannock-Culpeper line and the entrance of the three children would not cause a hardship on the school system, since expected elementary enrollment is down from last year. Approval was granted on a yearly basis. THE BOARD directed Superintendent Norton to explore a wording change in teachers’ contracts with his advisors in Richmond. The Board is considering an alteration in physical examination requirements. Norton was also asked by the Board to look into Rappahannock’s share of the phone bill for the Title I Coordinator of Federal Funds in Front Royal. The seven-month $750 bill inspired commentsvof “unreasonable” and “outrageous” from Board members. Norton didn’t recommend that payment be withheld but agreed to make a “diplomatic inquiry” into the justification behind the bill.D AjHgai Super 12M Motor Oil SALE 60%. * -h*1 \ ■ > Regular suggested price 75* Heatproof, coldproof, high in detergency. 10W-40 multi-grade.
