Apr 9 i97g RICHIIOHD 19. VA. 23219 Volume XXVD, Number 21 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA • THURSDAY, APRIL 8, 1976 FIFTEEN CENTS 622 leads list of road complaints EVERY year, a single secondary road seems to inspire the most, comments at the annual road hearing conducted by the Board of Supervisors for the Highway Department. This year, it was Rkppahannock secondary Route 622, as it traverses Gid Brown and Harris Hollows. There were other roads that got mentioned, too—to be sure. And one citizen at the hearing denounced all secondary roads in the county in general, for being inadequate and poorly maintained. But it was Route 622 which was the subject of a majority of the complaints. Roger Fincham led off the parade, singling out what he thought were improper maintenance procedures on the road. “You use population along roadways for setting your order of priority for maintenance,’’ he told Resident Highway Engineer Don Askew, “but I’m not sure that’s always fair. We have a low population, but high traffic from tourists and loggers.’’ He outlined a number of shortcomings on the road: Collapsed culverts, stretches where it is too narrow for two vehicles to pass; improper ditching causing road washouts; terrible dust problems duripg dry spells; scraping without the addition of gravel to low places, &c. “I’VE walked home four times in the past two years, and sometimes just because it rained,’’ said Fincham. James F. Massie confirmed Fincham’s remarks. “Route 622 has to be the worst road in the county,” he said, agreeing that maintenance is done improperly on the road. A woman who identified herself only as “Mrs. Burgess’’ said she’d lost “three tailpipes on 622, on two vehicles; and five tires.” She asked Askew to do all he could to do something about die road. “Would you like my tailpipe bill?” she asked. That Fincham reminded Fincham of something he’d forgotten in his earlier statement: “I’ve lost two shocks, two tie rods and had one radial ripped in two years. Other residents have similar damage tolls, and all of this is occuring on a six-mile stretch of the road.” Dr. W. L. Wake complained that the Highway Department is widening a stretch of 622 that is already paved, while ignoring other problems on the unpaved section. “I don’t get this, this sticks in my craw,” he said. He also wondered about the de- , partment’s list for carrying projects out. “I haven’t seen anything to indicate when projects are contemplated. I’ve seen five-year and ten-year plans, but I haven’t seen anything happen. I was told four years ago we would get some road work, and nothing.has been done.” NANCY REEVE was also “very upset” about the widening work being done on one part of 622 PANCAKE SUPPER Cub Scout Pack 123 of Rappahannock will sponsor a Pancake Supper to be held Saturday evening, April 10 from 5 until 8 p.m. at the parish hall of Trinity Episcopal Church in Washington. This is the one fund raising event conducted by the Cubs. The supper is $2 for all you can eat. Advance tickets available or available at the door. Join the youngsters for pancakes and sausage. while such things as blind curves and blind hill crests were being ignored. “Logging trucks and general farm traffic create danger on that road. I hold my breath every time the school bus makes See Pace 4 Youthful models who will appear in the fashion show, Fads, Fashions and Fancies to be presented Saturday at Wakefield Country Day School at Huntly include Bart Secrist, Nancy Massie, Brian Reed; and in front, Christ! Martin, Christopher Sherwood and Michelle Marders. The fashion show will begin at 2 p.m. and many more models will be appearing. Mrs. Sandra Massie is in charge of the event. One subdivision approved, one not RAPPAHANNOCK’S planning commission members, after previously visiting both sites, voted Thursday night, April 2, to recommend approval of another. The commissioners were agreed that Oscar Lindgren’s subdivision in Hampton District met all county requirements, including provisions of the new erosion and sedimentation control ordinance, but they did not favor a subdivision proposed by Wade H. Massie ffl, called “High Hill Farms.” The steep slope of the main access road was the major sticking point. Both recommendations will now go to the Board of Supervisors for final action at their meeting May 6. The Lindgren subdivision was considered first at Thursday night’s “recessed” meeting of the planning commission. Chairman Herbert Barksdale asked right off what recommendation the members favored, and a lengthy discussion followed. But Pete Luke set the tone of the discussion by stating that in his view “it’s OK, from the subdivision point of view.’1 Fanning Baumgardner, the county engineer, elaborated; he said Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis had raised a point about a survey and plan of the entire tract which embraces Lindgren’s subdivision would have to be produced. The tract is a part of land owned by the late General Daniel Noce. WALTER MASTERSON said the way he understood it, Davis maintains that the proposed development would amount to a subdivision of a subdivision. Baumgardner, however, indicated he didn’t think this was required. Neither did Luke; neither did Barksdale. Baumgardner said in his view the way Lindgren had laid out the lots—all in excess of 25 acres— they amounted to “farmettes” and therefore were allowed subdivision in an agricultural zone. David Fannon also stated that he thought Lindgren’s plat met every reguirement of the county’s ordinances. “Then what about the situation brought about by George Davis?” asked Chairman Barksdale. “He’s counsel to the commission, but he’s not here,” observed Pete Luke. “If the chairman thinks we need legal advice, we should call him up.” BARKSDALE said Davis had told him that in some way the subdivision violated state law, but the chairman said he had not actually seen the law alluded to. Eventually, Luke made a motion recommending approval of Lindgren’s plans, subject to its meeting all stipulations of the subdivision ordinance and sedimentation and erosion control regulations. It was agreed, also, that an inspection fee of $250 will be charged to make sure all erosion controls are properly done. Then Massie’s proposed subdivision, located off Route 211, was discussed—for four 25-acre lots adjacent to a four-lot subdivision already recorded. Questions about the steep slope of the access road to all eight lots were immediately raised. All members present agreed that the road did not meet erosions and sedimentation standards, and the vote not to recommend approval was unanimous. □ County tags Rappahannock County motor vehicle sticker tags are on sale at the office of the Treasurer in Washington.

SARAH C LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Tired citizens SOME CITIZENS in a nearby county had some interesting observations — complaints, really — at theircounty’s most recent planning commission meeting, complaints that reflect on the entire planning process as it is practised in Virginia. They were appearing before the commission to protest another application for an industrial re-zoning near their residential neighborhood, and some of them commented about how tired they were of constantly having to defend the peace and quiet of their homes. Time after time, industrial rezoning applications have been filed for a nearby area now zoned agricultural, and they wondered why. It is a good question. If zoning and planning maps , are to be effective, then why are they changed all the time? Recognizing that these documents can’t be completely inflexible, it should also be the case that re-zoningsarethe rare exception, the almost never-seen occurence, rather than the commonplace happening they now seem to be. AND IF IT COMES to a question of properiy rights, then who should take preference—the property owner who enjoys the present residential zoning of his neighborhood and who wants to protect the integrity of that location, or the nextdoor property owner who wants to change that zoning for his personal financial gain? It would appear to be clear common sense and simple courtesy that the man who wants to abide by existing zoning and cause no one else any difficulty would receive preference. But Virginia zoning lawyers, and Virginia courts, seem to be more swayed by the “highest and best use” economic arguments for re-zonings than they are about protecting the rights of the man who doesn’t want the map changed, who wants to abide by the regulations already decreed for the political jurisdiction in which he resides or does business. AND AS TO INDUSTRIAL re-zonings, it was pointed out that Loudoun already has hundreds of acres designated for this purpose. If a man wants to develop an industry, then let him go where the zoning already exists. As logical and straightforward as that is, it is a viewpoint that seldom prevails. No wonder people have their doubts about the value of zoning and planning. Some zoning categories may be in the wrong place. Others may embrace incongruous groupings of activities that could be changed to the benefit of everyone. But the changes should be the extremely rare exceptions, not a general order of business for every public meeting. □ Country fair A real, honest-to-goodness country fair will be the July 4 Bicentennial event to be staged in Rappahannock. Barkers will extoll the quality merchandise to be seen or purchased and owners manning rented booths will hawk their wares, while music will lend enchantment to the scene and home cooked food tempt the appetite. There will be something for everyone, for young and old, and the day will be climaxed with a brilliant display of Fourth of July fireworks. Rental space is now available where individuals may sell their crafts, antiques, ceramics, white elephants or what have you. With this the Bicentennial year, a bigger and better fair and affair is planned. For information contact Mrs. Ruth Clark at 675-3608 or Mrs. Ellen Manson 675-3372, or write in care of Washington Fire Department.

Letters to the editor Historic slide show Editor: Now jthat the process of photographing and recording the details of the 18th Century buildings of Rappahannock County is coming down the home stretch, I wish to thank all those who have invited us into their homes. Their hospitality has resulted in a collection of several hundred colored slides of cabins, barns, mills, and palatial homes which graced our county when the Revolution was young. We have tried to include everything from distant views of the building in its natural setting to close-ups of the carpenter’s or stone mason’s art. The Bicentennial committee is sponsoring a slide show featuring about 50 of the oldest structures of Rappahannock County, at 8 p.m. April 23, at the Elementary School. It should be both an interesting and educational evening. We will continue photographing 18th century buildings throughout the county until all have been recorded on film. Anyone knowing of a site which has not been visited yet should contact me or any member of the Bicentennial Committee or the Historical Society. Howard Holschuh Castleton Ambulance back in service now The Washington Ambulance is repaired and back in service after an incident and the emergency number to call for fire or rescue service is 825-6655. These volunteer organizations need assistance on Saturdays with the construction of the new fire house. A day’s labor from anyone who is able would be a great contribution to the construction project, said a squad spokesman. “Edward Clark is in charge of the building program and will accept calls at 675-3608 letting him know when you will be able to help.” Historic road names AT THE suggestion of James Kilpatrick, Rappahannock’s Board of Supervisors is asking the County Historical Society to help restore historic old names to county roads and highways, which now are known mostly by their state numerical designations. A letter from Kilpatrick complained that substitition of numbers for road names represents a loss of history and tradition for the county, and he suggested that the old names be researched and that they be posted on “appropriate markers” installed by the county and maintained by the Highway Department. Chairman Pete Luke said he agreed wholeheartedly With the suggestion, noting that such designations as “F-T Valley Road” were far to be preferred over the cold numbers “231.” He felt historic road names helped people develop a keener “sense of place.” Several people who were attending the Supervisors’ meeting for the annual secondary road hearing agreed with Luke, and so did Supervisor Clarence Baldwin, who confessed that he couldn’t remember many of the road numbers. RESIDENT Highway Engineer 9 Don Askew said he had no objection to naming the roads but he said maintenance of “rustic” signs would be a problem. All the Highway Department wants to do is affix small green and white signs to existing posts, he said. Luke said he thought that would be satisfactory. Supervisor H.B. Wood finally moved that Kilpatrick’s suggestion be approved “in principle,” and forwarded to the Historic Society for help in research. It passed unanimously.□ Bake sale A bake sale will be held at the home of Mrs. Julia Boddie on Saturday, April 17 beginning at noon. The proceeds will benefit the Bride and Groom contest. A Tom Thumb wedding is scheduled for Friday, May 7 at 7:45 p.m. at the First Baptist Church, Washington. □

For School Board Electoral Board proposal declined RAPPAHANNOCK’S Supervisors are happy with the present three-member school electoral board, it was revealed at their meeting April 1. Chairman Pete Luke reported that he had been asked by Judge Rayner Snead if the Supervisors would prefer to have a five-member school electoral board, with one from each magisterial district. Luke said the judge said several citizens had made this suggestion to him, and he wanted to know what the Supervisors felt about it. Luke said “three is fine with me,” and the others felt the same way. “I don’t see any need for one from each district,” said J.R. Latham. “I think there is enough representation the way it is.” Supervisors H.B. Wood and Butch Eastham agreed, as did ' Clarence Baldwin, so the matter was dropped at that point. Luke then asked the Supervisors how they wanted to “proceed” with the school budget this year. “Last year,” he recalled, “they came here to discuss their budget, and we wound up sponsoring a public hearing. I think this year they should make their peace with the teachers and the public and then give us a budget they’ve scrubbed in hearings of their own.” LUKE elaborated: “I’m for letting them deal with the public on the school budget—let them take the heat on that part. Last year, I got the feeling that the buck was passed to us.” Said Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis: “I think you could require the School Board to be more specific on their figures.” The other Supervisors indicated they agreed with Luke’s suggestion. THEN CAME what has become a regular feature of Rappahannock Board of Supervisor meetings— ' a discussion of the high cost of trash collection. Last month, the base bill of $2,622:32 for trash collection was increased by a $685 bill tacked on for picking op trash spilled around the dumpsters. Luke thought that hiring someone for “a couple of hundred a month to go around and pick up this spilled trash” would mean a savings for the county. “If you can do it, it would be good,” said H.B. Wood, “but some of that trash is out on the ground because the dumpsters are too full.” He thought maybe some extra dumpsters ought to be put out. George Davis thought there should be more dumpsters placed in a greater number of locations throughout the county. SHERIFF William Bun tin was queried about prosecuting people who abuse the dumpster privilege. Buntin said it is difficult to catch people at this, since “our department has no allowance for patrol, so when we’re out we’re out for a purpose. If we see anybody illegal at the dumps, it’s because we just happen to see them on our wav to something else.” Luke wondered if placing a “stake-out” at the dumpsters would help. “When would you do it?” Buntin asked. Luke thought Friday and Saturday would be die best times. Luke told of stopping one woman from Culpeper himself, and she was indignant when told that the dumpsters were for Rappahannock people only. “She said she’d been doing it for years and that she felt she was entitled to because she spent all her money in Rappahannock,” said Pete Luke. “Where?” everybody asked, increduously. Placing dumpsters at the schools was suggested. Carson Johnson, from the Audience, said he would be “bitterly opposed” to this, unless the dumpsters were for school use only. It was then suggested that dumpsters be placed at the school garage instead; no one objected. THERE WAS also talk of the need to acquire a “standby landfill” for the county, in the event Orange County ever closes its landfill to the trash collector. Luke urged that the problem be tackled “with all haste; we don’t want to have to get hard-nosed and go out and condemn land.” Another problem that needs solution is the use of space at the court house, said Luke. Baldwin said that he wasn’t so sure a solution to county office problems would necessarily involve building a new building. As to county officials pressing for a new building, he said: “Who wouldn’t want a new office if it didn’t cost them anything?” “That’s like a fox in the chicken house,” grinned H. B. Wood. Baldwin suggested that the registrar and the county zoning administrator share the same office space, since neither one re quires the office more than one -day a week. That would solve one problem, he said. “That removes some pressure, right off the bat.”Q SPRING BREAK Rappahannock County public schools will have a spring break next week.'

Clatterbuck retires J. FLOYD CLATTERBUCK of Sperryville, better known as Dick, has retired after working with the Virginia Department of Highways for 41 years. He has worked out of the Washington, Va. headquarters and for the past seven years has been in charge of the prison labor force. Clatterbuck received a pin for service along with a certificate citing his excellent record of safety. In his long tenure with the department he has never had an accident of any description with J. Floyd Clatterbuck machinery or to his person. His co-workers in the Department presented Clatterbuck a watch as a remembrance and retirement gift. J. Floyd Clatterbuck is the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. James A. Clatterbuck and a native Rappahannockan. He is married to the former Gertrude Burke and they have two daughters, Virginia Jenkins and Linda Cooke and a foster daughter, Margaret Hitt. Clatterbuck is a veteran of World War II, spending most of his duty tour in Africa, Italy and Sicily and he was the first Rappahannock man to be drafted. He was in the service four years. MR. AND MRS. Clatterbuck live in Ole Hollow near Sperryville “by the trout stream”, and he says he will spend some of his retirement time fishing. “I didn’t do too well opening day of trout season. I hooked three fish and lost every one of them. My grandson did catch one,” he said. Clatterbuck is an avid gardener and will have more time for that now. He said he didn’t think he would have much trouble keeping occupied. They plan to visit the sick and will have more time for service to the Lord, he said, and they are hoping to go to Florida and also visit in the Carolinas, where he was in military service.□ Jennifer Raney and Courtney Jones were among the Girl Scouts who attended the Bicentennial State meeting of Scouts held Saturday in Blacksburg. They are members of Cadette Troop 380. During this year an all out effort is being • made to interest more youths in the scouting programs. These girls are working on badges in recognition of our “young country striving for independence and success as our land of the free.” Cadettes will be selling Girl Scout cookies at Bradford’s Store in Flint Hill this weekend. This picture was taken in the authentic 18th century kitchen which Miss Ruby Jenkins has restored at Washington. 622 leads list of road complaints From Pace 1. its run,” she said. * Frank Neal of Rock Mills called 622 a road which is in “very, very bad shape—I have to have my car realigned every timelgo through.” Finally, Askew replied. He told Dr. Wake that money was indeed once allocated for 622 work, but “there was and still is a right of way problem. We can’t get it, so we spend the money on other roads.” He defended the widening project on the paved portion of 622 as being justified because of some bad sight distance problems, repeating that the availability of right of way determines the scheduling of many secondary road projects. Among other roads mentioned at the hearing was Route 605 near the Culpeper line. Col. Rudolph Ruzich of Boston said some spot improvements could help greatly on this narrow road. He was accompanied by Charles Racer and Oscar Dodson, who also urged that some work be done. Mrs. Robert Harrell complained of excessive speeding on old Route 211, where it serves the Town of Washington. She also complained of the “turnaround” that has developed in front of her house, just west of Baldwin’s Store, on a gravel deposit left by the Highway Department. RICHARD JENKINS of Slate Mills wondered why improvements to 604 have been halted. Askew said he’d run out of money and could only complete step one of a threestep project. Donald G. Fridenstine said Route 615 was almost “impassable” last November, and that while work has been done since, “which we appreciate,” further improvements are still needed. “I don’t know where all our money goes. I guess it all goes to the metropolitan areas and for Thinking of Trading For or Buying a New Tractor? NOW IS THE TIME! .

But we need it on these rural roads just to get to our homes. That road is really bad. The road is so narrow, there isn’t your own side— there’s only the middle!” Robert Frazer said the hard surface on Route 628 between Flint Hill and Washington, the Fodderstack Road, has broken down along some shoulders, and that ditches are filled and culverts overflow during rains. He was especially critical of the one-way bridge at the outskirts of Washington. Askew told him the department has acquired the steel for replacing this bridge, and is now awaiting sufficient funds to erect it. (Ollie Atkins, who was former President Nixon’s official White House photographer, was present in the audience, and Chairman Pete Luke asked him if he had anything to say about the roads. Atkins said he was present just as an observor, but he thought the Highway Department had done a fine job of patching up potholes on Fodder stock Road. He had no complaints.) ROGER BATCHELDERof Amissville said he was thankful that 637 had been widened, but he thought it now needed to be hard surfaced. Ed Huffstedler agreed, noting that dust control is also needed on this road. Marshall Burke of Woodville asked that a few places along Route 620 be widened—not the whole stretch of dead-end road, but just a few places so people could pass. Carson Johnson supported Burke’s point, noting also that a culvert is defective, with a sixfoot drop^off on one end. “You could slaughter a whole busload of children if it went over that bank,” he warned. When Luke asked if there were any more comments, James Massie responded: “In general, the roads in the county are in terrible condition.” Don Askew said he reviews his budget every year with the Board of Supervisors, and does the best he can. He says he has a “flexible,” six-year improvement plan which is also reviewed every year. SUPERINTENDENT Butch Eastham wanted to be sure Askew hadn’t forgotten about Chester Gap, Askew said Hie work there was too tough for his road crews to handle, and that this job would have to be contracted out. Jim Massie suggested that clipping of tall grass around intersections be given a high priority, for safety’s sake, and Askew said his entire budget for grass clipping has been increased this year. With Pete Luke concluding that “622 is the top priority,” the annual secondary road hearing was concluded. □ CHURCH NOTICES Palm Sunday services will be held at Reynolds Memorial Baptist Church, Sperryville, April 11 at 11 a.m. The children, youth and adult choirs will provide special music.

Com uses nitrogen from the moment roots begin to function, until ears dent in late summer. Corn’s need for nitrogen is sizeable. Most soils have enough nitrogen to produce about 70 bushels of com per acre. For yields over 70 bushels, you must rely on nitrogen from fertilizer.

So, where your soil is low in phosphorus you should apply higher rates than the removal shown above. Application of three times the actual removal may be necessary to reach your desired yield goal. Potash. Potassium, an essential nutrient for efficient corn production, imparts vigor and disease tolerance to com plants. It helps produce strong, stiff stalks.

Rouse clinches Seven Corners trophy By JUNE RUHSAM RANDOLPH ROUSE, MFH of Fairfax Hunt, won the feature race Saturday at Old Dominion Hunt’s point-to-point, held for the first time at its beautiful new course on Ben Venue Farm in Rappahannock County. Winning the Old Dominion Hunt Cup put Rouse far enough in the lead for the ownerrider timber series to assure his capturing the Seven Corners trophy for the eighth time. Rduse, a competent and coolheaded rider who trains his own horses, kept Cousin Wes forwardly placed throughout the hotly contested 3 1/4-mile race. William H. (Mike) duPont, on his last week’s winner, Hami, took the lead briefly, and Arch Kingsley, riding his Middleburg Bowl winner, Artist’s Haven, was on top from th$ 15th to the 17th fences. Cousin Wes moved to the lead approacl^ng the next and final fence, which he botched because a shadow bothered him, according to Rouse. It was the only bad fence of the round for the former hurdler who has now won twice and was second once in his first three trips over timber. “He’s easy to ride and has a lot of heart,” said Rouse. An unusually large crowd of 5,000 cheered wildly as the four horses battled down the long stretch. Crossing the finish, Cousin Wes was two lengths to the good of Artist’s Haven, Hami was next by three, and David Semmes eased up a tiring August Acorn. SITUATED on the Thomas Eastham’s historic Rappahannock County farm, where Mosby’s Raiders once hid in the woods edging the course. Ben Venue’s race course, is the first new one since Oatlands was inaugerated ten years ago. It was designed by William Brainard, who is resigning as Old Dominion Hunt’s MFH. The maiden hurdle race, split in two divisions, initiated the course with two horses going down at the first fence at the top of a knoll. Bill Walsh, who has been second or third with his Task Order several times this spring, finally made it to the winner’s circle. Task Order won handily by five lengths over race chairman D. L. “Zeke” Ferguson’s Tingaling Cool, ridden by Skip Brittle. Amissville farrier Jim .Magee was a close' third on his Dorroco Kid, followed by William N. Walsh’s Satiric, Jonathan Ruhsam up. Three of the nine starters failed to complete the mile and a half course of eight fences. The M. J. Dixons’ Tivie Ridge, who had refused to start at Warrenton, fell at the first hurdle, along with Randy Waterman on his Toscanini, while Marvin Reese and his Head Knock came to grief at the sixth. Larry Campbell remounted the gray Tivie Ridge and finished last. In the second division, Completed was off on top at the start and made it a wire-to-wire win. Jonathan Ruhsam handled the strong gray colt for Star 10 Stables, a syndicate of ten which includes several Congressmen. Right behind him were Evid Boy and Musical Orbit, running and fencing together. Mr. Royal C moved up and the four were tightly bunched down the stretch. Clay Tittle on his Musical Orbit was second by a length, followed by Mack Crippen’s Mr. Royal C., Johnny Hughs ig), and Joe Aitcheson riding Daniel Brewster’s Evil Boy. Moody Aylor’s European, with son Pete in the irons, fell at the first, and Charles Jones suffered a separated shoulder in a fall from his Mollify after the second hurdle. SEVEN started in the open timber race, but only four finished. Jonathan Ruhasm, 21-year-old George Mason University student from The Plains, used different strategy in winning this race for Mrs. Helen Polinger on her Idol Fellow. Going head and head with John Collin’s Captain Carlo and S.H.R. Fred’s Kenny’s Tiger over the first two fences, he then settled his mount and stayed off the pace for most of the 3 1/4 miles. Mike duPont misjudged the ap proach to the sixth at the top of the hill, sailed past it, and fell when Estremadura stumbled. He was pleased, however, with his new hunter’s jumping ability in his second start over fences. Toinette Phillips pulled up her Trojan Bay after the first lap, and Skip Brittle dismounted from the lame Question the Devil after the last fence. Ruhsam sent Idol .....

Rouse clinches Seven Corners trophy Prom Page 8 to the wire, followed by Charles Owens’s High Peak, Kevin Palmer’s Kool Kake and brother Gerry Palmer’s Doctor Green, Jr. This win widened Arch Kingsley’s margin over Paddy Neislon by 13 points in the race for rider-ofthe-year award. The girls dominated the open hurdle race. Pretty red-haired Leslie Marshall rode George Strawbridge’s Celtic Song III to a wire-to-wire five-length victory over Brandywine’s Conserje, ridden by Toinette Phillips. Both girls ride with great style, are friends, 21-year-olds and are University of Delaware students. Third was Mrs. Helen Polinger’s Champerty, who almost fell at the second last with Jonathan Ruhsam riding, and Kathee Rengert on S. H. R. Fred’s Yeoman’s Duty followed. FINAL race of the warm, sunny afternoon was the Meeting House Mountain Plate, a flat race named for the mountain directly behind the course. This one, too, was taken by the girls. Winner was Ligonier’s Barbara Kraeling, whipper-in for Rolling Rock Hunt and very knowledgeable about hounds, on huntsman Lovell Stickley’s Fuzz Ears. Barbara, a licensed trainer, is the only woman to have ever won a race over fences at a national hunt meet. This he did last fall at Radnor on Fuzz Ears. Second by three lengths, deftly threading her way through the front runners in the stretch, was Kathee Rengert on S. H. R.

Upon the advice of the stewards, the final fence in all races was by-passed, because they felt that it was too close to the finish to be taken safely, according to Zeke Ferguson. The finish line, incidentally, is marked by two very tall poles, topped by flags and embellished with targets and letters “F.” Riders sometimes have trouble seeing the finish, but this one is certainly obvious.

Historical slide show is April 23 THE HALF dozenth tooting of the Bicentennial Bugle finds this to tootle about: First, on the 23rd day (or evening) of this Springy month of April at 8 p.m. in the Rappahannock County Elementary School auditorium there will be a full and varied program of Bicentennial Biz. Leading the list will be a Magic Lantern show, a venerable kind of viewing that hearkens back a full century before the notable date we celebrate. The title of this elderly entertainment is “eighteenth Century North Culpeper” which must not mislead you because, in fact, that is our own Rappahannock, the severance from Culpeper not having occurred until 1833. The colored slides taken by Capt. Howard Hosschuh will reveal our 18th Century houses and other contemporary curiosities. There will be tickets sold for this picture show in the hope of allaying a part of the attendant expenses but they are minimal: 75 cents for adults and 25 cents for children. Co-chairmen of this department are Mrs. Pauline Bruce and Mrs. Mary Quaintance This optical opulence does not, however, fade with the last slide. Not one but three dedication ceremonies, plus an unveiling of an historical map of the County pro LE6AL NOTICES VIRGINIA: IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY MABEL B.

The program, directed by Ruritan member Robert B. Settle, offered all the diversity and arrangement of good showmanship. Opening with a marching exhibit by the “76’ers,” a sextet of high-stepping third grade girls dressed in red,white and blue, the program breezed along through an unusual arrangement of patriotic melodies by Sandra Mizelle, a piano virtuoso from CenDemocratic delegates At a mass meeting of Rappahannock Democrats held Saturday at the courthouse in Washington Mrs. George H.

Their 1st District Games was last Friday with Page Co’s Cindy Cumins Team. The final score of that game was 4-0. in Rappahannock’s favor; which was a great beginning for the new season. Mike Smoot did an outstanding job of pitching that day, striking out twenty-one batters, which is a new school record. Friday our Panthers played Elkton and won by an even more impressive score of 11-1. Student support at the game has been really good which is always an extra boost for any sports team. Keep up the fine work guys—you’re truly “Super Panthers!” Our 1st Boy’s Track meet which was also last week was for most of the team, a first time in actual competition so Rappahannock did not place particularly high in any event. The team is young and new and has a long way to go but all things must begin somewhere and new beginnings can often be the start of something good. Keep your eyes on our new Track Panthers, I think they’ll be no exception. Have a Happy Easter Vacation!
