Rappahannock News, May 6, 1976

Miller named Washington Mayor A NEW Mayor for the Town of Washington was elected Tuesday by a write-in vote. J. Newbill Miller was _ chosen by a record number of citizens who went to the polls. According to the Registrar’s roster, 137 people were eligible to vote and 106 of them cast ballots. Miller succeeds Peter Kramer, who was chosen by the Council as Mayor when Mrs. Dorothy Davis resigned. Kramer had been elected as a council member in 1974. The campaign for Miller was implemented by the town’s people, and not by Miller. He did not seek the office, and did not encourage anyone to work on his behalf, he said. Rains lessen forest fire danger in area WIDESPREAD rain over a 13 county district combined with other factors to ease the fire danger over the weekend, bringing a much needed rest for Virginia Division of Forestry personnel and fire fighting volunteers. The welcome relief came after a 30 day drought during one of the hottest, driest Aprils on record. With temperatures reported in the high nine-, ties and humidities in the low twenties, the forest fire danger was extremely hazardous. The dryness compared with 1963 when over 7,000 acres were scorched by 484. forest fires in District m. Brian Edson, assistant district forester, in charge of fire control for District m, reported that a total of 254 forest fires burned over 700 acres of forest land in the 13 county area this year. He said, “We have already had over twice as many fires as were reported during the same period last year. The largest fire was an 88 acre blaze in Fairfax County ft&tteved to have been started by some careless campers. However, the average sized fire was held to less than three acres.” Edson remarked, “The only thing that saved us during this extremely long dry spell was the complete lack of any high winds to fan the fires.” He said, “The Blood volunteers Volunteering to give blood Tuesday when the Red Cross Bloodmobile was in Washington were Mrs. Ike Parrish, Mrs. Jean Alther, Mrs. Grace Sims, Mrs. Martha Tholand, Mrs. Mary Edna Schaefer, Mrs. Sarah Latham, Thomas B. Massie, Bradford Fisher, Mrs. Ronald Wiley, Mrs. Margaret Pryde, Mrs. Frances Thornton, Clifton Jenkins, Mrs. MaryL. Payne, Wayne Baldwin, Bobby Weakley, Mrs. Elizabeth Streagle, Mrs. Frances Carney, Mrs. Pattie Alexander, Candy Coombes, Frank E. Huff, Connie Huff, Martin Orfila, Mrs. Mary Jordan, Mrs. Dorothy Leake, E.M. Jones, Mrs. Paul Miller, Mrs. Ruth Grimsley, •Robert Haase, Mrs. Rae Haase.□ splendid cooperation and quick response of fire fighters from the Virginia Division of Forestry, U. S. Forest Service, and Volunteer Fire companies made it possible to contain the. fires while they were still small.” A DRY thunderstorm caused several lightening fires throughout the District on April 20. One in particular was located in a remote section of Nelson County near Wintergreen. State and Federal foresters combined with local volunteers from the Rockfish and Wintergreen fire departments to fight the fire. The U. S. Forest Service brought in eight smoke jumpers from Roanoke to start the initial attack. The combined efforts of all involved saved hundreds of acres of timberland from certain distraction. As of May 1, the fire record for the 13 counties in District in is as follows: Albemarle, 24 fires consuming 59 acres; Culpeper, 14 fires for 38 acres; Fairfax, 16 fires totalling 125 acres; Fauquier, 12 fires for 34 acres; Fluvanna, 16 for 110 acres; Green, 8 for 8 acres; Loudoun, 6 for 14 acres; Louisa, 34 fires'totalling 70 acres; Madison, 11 fires for 37 acres; Nelson, 47 fires for 145 acres; Orange - 18 fires for 38 acres; Prince William - 31 fires for 28 acres; and Rappahannock, 17 fires for 15 acres. Everyone was reminded that the 4 p.m. burning law is still in effect. The burning law prohibits all open air fires within 300 feet of woodland between the hours of 12 midnight and 4 p.m. This law is in effect from March 1 to May 15 every year.D Notice The deadline for news and classified advertising for each Thursday edition of the Rappahannock News is Tuesday afternoon.

Miller was re-elected to the office of Treasurer with 65 ballots. A quiet write-in campaign netted Paul Walker 27 votes for Treasurer. Mrs. Anna Curtis and H. T. Updike received one vote each for Treasurer. TWO council members were reelected and three new ones were chosen. Incumbents, Mrs. Dorothy Hawkins received 62 votes and Charlie Jenkins polled 88.

LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Ridiculous rules THE Rappahannock Sheriff’s department’s difficulties with arbitrary federal regulations provide yet another example of how rules adopted by absentee bureaucrats can really be ridiculous when insisted upon at the local level. No, not ridiculous—they could even be dangerous, where the welfare of the public is concerned. Somewhat ironically, it is another non- local agency— Regional Planning District 9— which is trying to do something about the situation. At their last meeting, members of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District board passed a resolution imploring the Virginia Council on Criminal Justice, which dispenses Law Enforcement Assistance Ad-‘ ministration (LEAA) funding, to delete a 24-hour- on-duty requirement for receiving grant money. The LEAA has decreed that while small rural Rappahannock must have “basic investigation equipment,” it must also have one law enforcement officer on duty 24 hours a day in order to qualify for aid funds. It wouldn’t be worth the effort, in many people’s minds—to go to the expense of hiring the personnel that would be required to give such service, for the amount of aid money that would be received in turn. IN OTHER words, some arbitrary bureaucratic rule would cost the taxpayers of Rappahannock more than it would return in federal largesse. Rappahannock has attracted state and national attention for its independent state of mind concerning such arrangements as these, but the state and federal bureaucracies keep persisting. Maybe, if Rappahannock continues to point out the absurdity of such regulations, somebody, somewhere, will finally pay attention, and inject some common sense into government, even at its so-called “highest” levels. □ Litter costs revealed HIGHWAY litter clean-up costs in Fauquier, Loudoun, Prince William and Rappahannock were $74, 221.11 during 1974-75, according to figures released by the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation. lliis accounted for approximately 30 per cent of the Culpeper District total of $254, 292.97. The total amount spent by the state for clean-up along primary, secondary and interstate roads was $1,285,247.91. C. O. Leigh, the department’s state maintenance engineer, said the clean-up job will take on added significance this year because the state is getting ready for the millions of tourists expected to visit Virginia’s historic and scenic places during the nation’s Independence Bicentennial year. The statewide campaign is already well under way with, “Spruce Up Virginia, Company’s Coming’’ as the theme. Leigh said the department will cooperate with the program all year, and in many instances will work with civic groups interested in special clean-up and landscaping projects. LEIGH said citizens can help cut the cost of the campaign by: 1. Keeping a litter container in their vehicles and using it for paper and other trash. 2; Using die litter receptacles placed by die department along the state’s highways. There are approxiamtely 1,400 such receptacles. 3. Encouraging the establishment and use of adequate local refuse disposal facilities where they don’t already exist. This would help eliminate the problem of household garbage sometimes deposited at the roadside receptacles. Close-Up A nut on a bolt pictured last week was identified by several readers including Mrs. John Green of Culpeper who will receive a subscription to the Rappahannock News.

Honoring the nation Editor: As the anniversary of our country’s birth, Sunday, July 4th, approaches, gratitude demands that Virginians as all our nation’s citizens, observe our bicentennial. But beyond a fine sense of appreciation, what is the proper manner in which to observe this respected and hallowed day? Freedom of choice, is one of our great blessings, but even within the tolerance of this privilege, is there not an area of propriety in which observance is best expressed? Should not the same values, which our forefathers poured into our nation’s foundation, be honored for their 200 years of durable freedom? Was not a pattern outlined for future generations, when Divine Providence was celebrated at Plymouth and Shirley Plantation? Does not the record bear witness of the first man to disembark at Virginia Beach, on his knees thanking God for a safe passage? Even more than the force of cannon and the shouted defiance of, “give me liberty or give me death”, was it not the power and guidance of Almighty God that pictures Washington on his knees at Valley Forge? Was not the sovereignty of God clearly affirmed, when Jefferson declared, “with firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, our sacred honor”? If our slogan is, God and Country, should not their commemoration go hand in hand? If God has been recognized as the author of freedom, should not God be the key factor in the very anniversary of freedom? Moreover, if Sunday by Divine edict and national tradition has been set aside for the worship and reverence of Divine Providence, should not true patriotism uphold the sanctity of Sunday, July 4, 1976? By what contrast, therefore, is the carnival atmosphere of a country fair a logical or proper substitute? Is the heartbeat or deep significance of our freedoms birth and life found in die frothy environment of a flea market? In all kindness should the noisy bombardment of Sunday night fireworks supersede the open doors of institutions long established to honor God? As our nation considers the how of our bicentennial observance, Sunday, July 4th, there is no actual stress on time or freedom of choice. The calendar has provided three days for both celebration and commemoration. But with due respect to those patriots who willed us a legacy of lasting peace and happiness, may todays patriots honor both God and country—but to God belongs the Glory and the priority on Sunday, July 4th. H.R. Terhune Viewtown Vandalism deplored Editor: Apparantly, recreation in the Sperryville area is lacking for its younger citizens. Having recently moved into Rappahannock County, specifically on 231, it seems apparent that Saturday nights are spent drinking beer in cars, then disposing of the cans on other peoples’ property, and driveway entrances—followed by stealing and being destructive. This past Saturday night, we encountered this. Not only did our new metal sign identifying our residence get destroyed, but the metal Quail with Plum was stolen. It is disheartening moving into a new Community, and learning that such lack of consideration for others prevails, and that this is the way of having fun on a Satuj^ay night. Mrs. P. L. Shackelton Shenandoah Park to mark anniversary # May 22 marks the Fiftieth Anniversary of Authorization Day for Sienandoah National Park, and plans are in the making to celebrate that weekend by having an “Old Timers’ Picnic” at the Hawksbill Recreation Area (Shuler’s Pool to OT’s) on Saturday afternoon for employes and former employes (and their families and friends), and an Open House (1 to 4 p.m.) (hi Sunday for Park friends and neighbors and the general public. Details will be issued as plans are shaped, but interested persons are encouraged to contact Mrs. June Campbell for information, reservations, and placement on a mailing list.

Area students match state levels TEST scores for area students in Fauquier, Loudoun, Rappahannock and Clarke counties closely parallel state achievement levels in the Virginia State Testing Program. When compared to a national norm group, Virginia students scored higher than 51 percent and lower than 49 percent of students from other states. According to a bulletin released by the State Department of Education, state test scores Canning lid buying advice “TO AVOID a possible early season shortage of home canning lids this year, we urge consumers to buy only enough lids for immediate needs between now and late June,” S. Mason Carbaugh, Commissioner of the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Commerce, warned. “We have studied the supply and demand situation for this year,” Carbaugh continued, “and we believe if everyone will cooperate and buy lids in the spring for MayJune needs only, again in late June and July for »ummer needs only, and again in the late summer for fall needs, then the supply of regular size canning lids should be adequate throughout 1976. “If we have a problem, he said,' “it will most likely come for consumers who buy canning lids too far in advance of the time they will actually need them. The manufacturers simply may not be able to produce as early as June or July all the canning lids everyone will need through the fall canning season.” THE USDA has estimated that four billion lids will be available for use this season, more than double the supply available for use during last year’s canning season. ‘‘Some manufacturers’ representatives told us recently they suspect a possible surplus of regular size lids sometime this summer, but they remain extremely cautious,” said Carbaugh. “All of the traditional manufacturers have expanded their lid production capacities for this year, and additional manufacturers are marketing lids across the nation. ”□ Conservation payment rules PRODUCERS who have received notice of cost-share approvals should report performance of the practice before the expiration dateP shown on the approval. If it is determined that the practice cannot be completed timely, an extension of time should be requested. If the practice is not reported timely and a request for an extension of time is not made the practice may be canceled. ISdost of the requests for the 1976 ACP program have been considered by the County Committee. Some of the requests for costsharing have not been considered because of the delay in obtaining the results of a soil sample. Payment under the 1976 Agricultural Conservation Program will not be made until July 1, 1976. THE lifespan provision of practices REI, Establishing Permanent Vegetative Cover and RE2, Improving Permanent Vegetative Cover states that the vegetative cover must be maintained without additional cost-sharing for a minimum lifespan of three years following the calendar year in which the cover was established. Cost-shares must be refunded if the farmer destroys the cover during its lifespan.

In all categories tested , average achievement scores measured by the Science Research Associates (SRA) achievement tests equalled or exceeded ability scores as measured by the Short Test of Educational Ability (STEA). Grades four, six, eight and eleven were tested in reading, language arts, mathematics concepts and computation, social studies and science. Loudoun students scored higher than the state average in 27 areas, ranking in the same percentile as the state norm in three categories. Fauquier students scored higher in eleven catagories, lower in nine and ranked in the same percentile in ten. Clarke students ranked lower than the average state percentile in 15 areas, higher in six and the same in nine. Students in Rappahannock County ranked lower than the state norm in 21 areas, the same in six, and higher in three. STUDENTS in Rappahannock, Clarke and Loudoun counties tend to fall lower in percentile rankings in the higher grades. For example, Loudoun students in the fourth grades ranked in the 63 percentile on the social studies portion of the SR A tests. By eleventh grade, their ranking had dropped to the 45 percentile. Loudoun fourth grade students ranked in the 59 percentile in language arts, and in eleventh grade dropped to the 38 percentile. Fauquier County students reversed this statewide trend in some areas. Fauquier fourth graders scored in the 38 percentile in total mathematics and rose to the 50 percentile in eleventh grade. Fauquier students also raised their fourth grade to eleventh grade rankings in reading from 51 to 52. “THERE were no significant declines in any of the tests,” said Dr. Franklin A. Cain, director of program evaluation for the state agency, speaking on the basis of Virginia averages as a whole. Only one change occured in ability percentiles; for the eighth grade students tested the percentile dropped from 41 to 39, which, he said, “was not significant.” Changes in average score percentiles are considered significant, Department Testing Service personnel; said, .if they exceed five points, except for the eleventh grade where the differential is eight points .—Daphne McCullough.

One is lots of people hunting out of season. This reduces the number of newborn animals each year. Some of the animals that it reduces are the deer, rabbit and squirrel. Pesticides are another important factor. They kill out many of the birds and other game. When birds nest in trees that have been sprayed with such poisons as parathon and DDT, many of them die. When the deer eat the apples that have been sprayed they sometimes die, too. We all can stop using so much poison and we can also stop hunting out of season. MANY of the animals of Rappahannock and other counties have been destroyed because of careless people in the woods who start forest fires. We all can make sure that we put out our camp fires completely. Dogs also scare away a lot of the animals. People can start trying up their dogs and making sure they don’t get loose. There are a lot of other ways people can help and I sure hope that they do.

PANTHER TALES “I shall be telling this with a sigh. . .somewhere ages and ages hence—” I doubt if Frost was a high school senior when he wrote that line but it may apply well to the feelings of many R.C.H.S. Seniors as they enter this final 6 weeks of school and realize that one phase of their lives has almost come to an end. Preparations for graduation might have already begun and invitation lists are being planned. Now Seniors’, try to solve this problem: Where has time gone? Our Lady Track Panthers are still on the move but our J. V.’s didn’t fare so well at their recent meet with Central and Strasburg. Rapp placed 3rd. Here are some of the better Rapp, placings of that meet: Jeanette Beeke, 1st in Discus (new school record) and 2nd in shot. Long Jump, Wendy Jenkins 1st and Lynell. Prudhum 2nd. High Jump, Marrion Eastham 1st. Mile Relay Team of Wendy Jenkins, Teresa Mahonejr, Stacy Showronski, and Marion'East ham placed 2nd. Last Friday our Baseball Panthers stomped the William Monroe Dragons by a score of 22-1. Mike Smoot and Barry Adkins did more than their share to raise the score by hitting a home run each and Perry Breedan lent his hand by hitting a triple. Way to go guys!. Up until Tuesday our Panthers were tied for first place position in Cindy Cumins the District but as a result of Tuesday’s game have moved into 2nd place with a district standing of 7 and 2. Tuesday our team met with Elkton and were defeated 5-0. But don’t lose heart—we’ve still got a chance for that 1st place position. Next Tuesday our Panthers will play Madison, a home game—your support means a lot so come on out if you can. We had a couple of outstanding performances by members of our Boys Track team during their last meet on April 30 with Page Co. David Sheffield set a new school record with 117 ft. in discus competition. In the 880 Donnell Carter beat Page’s Watson who had gone undefeated throughout this year’s indoor and outdoor season. Way to go David and Donnell! Our Girl’s and Boy’s Track teams will participate in their District meet this Sat. at Madison High School at 12:00. I know they’d appreciate your support if you could make it. R.C.H.S. sports fans, don’t forget to stop and gaze at those beautiful sports award trophies in the trophy case—they’ll be given away at our upcoming sports banquet later on in May.

Social Social Security earnings regulations PEOPLE who had low net earnings from self employment in 1975 may get social security credit if they report their earnings by an optional method, according to Robert C. Cooper, Field Representative in Rappahannock County. “Instead of reporting their net earnings for the year,” Cooper said, “people can report twothirds of their gross earnings from self-employment for social security credit—if two-thirds is $400 or more and not more than $1,600, provided these amounts are not less than their actual net earnings. “They can get social security credit,” he said, “if their net for the year is under $400 but their gross is $600 or more and they report their self-employment earnings by the optional method.” Earnings reports and social security contributions should be sent with income tax returns to the Internal Revenue Service by April ■^HE optional method of reporting may be used only by people who had net self-employment earnings of $400 or more for at least two out of the three previous years. Under the law, the option may be used only five times. “But these rules don’t apply to self-employed farmers,” Cooper said. Eligibility for social security benefits depends on credits earned by people who work in jobs covered by social security. The amount of monthly social security benefits is based on the worker’s average earnings over a period of years. People can call or write any social security office for more information about the optional method of reporting self-employment earnings. The Washington social security office is ooen the second Wednesday of each month at 10:00 in the court house. The Social Security Administration is an agency of the U. S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. □ WEDDING CONTEST The Bride and Groom Contest ends with the presentation of the Tom Thumb Wedding at the First Baptist Church in Washington, Friday evening, May 7 at 7:45 p.m. The public is invited to attend. “izf frn^om “MQNTp'tLIZIL* f Milts b«th af Sptrryillz, 231 c*a CIS-MS, W-Htl Raye Marion Rector scholarship winner Raye Marion Rector of Flint Hill has been named a Longwood Scholar, one of eight incoming freshmen for the 1976-77 year at Longwood College chosen for this high academic honor. The Scholars program, initiated in 1974, provides exceptional students opportunities for advanced study, independent research, and other creative activities on the undergraduate level. The eight Longwood Scholars were selected from among 36 applicants representing all areas of Virginia and several surrounding states. Their selection was based upon high school academic records, college board scores, recommendations from high school personnel and others, and personal interviews with the Longwood Scholars Review Board. Raye, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Lyle Rector, will graduate from Rappahannock County High School in June. Her high school activities have included serving as editor of the yearbook, secretary-treasurer of the National Honor Society, secretary of the Student Government, a cheerleader, and vice president of her class. She plans to major in elementary education at Longwood.D Turkey report According to C.H. Shaffer, Game Management Field Coordinator for the Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries, “considering the dry conditions and the prematurely hot weather, the Spring Gobbler Season seems to be fairly normal.” Shaffer said that “the condition of the woods, in addition to being high on the danger list in regard to fires, makes it nearly impossible to ‘stalk’ the birds through the dry leaves and undergrowth.” A spot check of three checking stations across the state revealed the following information: at Mac’s Superette located in Fulks Run, in Rockingham County a total of 15 gobblers have been checked since the opening of the season April 17, 1976. The largest bird checked at that location was a 19 pound, 5 ounce turkey killed by John Dispanel from New Market. At the checking station located in Gee’s Exxon Station in West Augusta, a total of eight birds have been checked with the largest a 19 pound, 8 ounce bird having been taken by David M. Rathburn from Staunton. A total of five birds were checked through the station located at the Buffalo Gap Service Center in Staunton.D announces...

Daylight savings time warning for pedestrians MOTORISTS, bicyclists and pedestrians need to remember that returning to daylight saving time will require extra caution. “On Sunday, April 25, clocks were set ahead an hour and reduced light conditions occured during the early morning hours. Motorists should be particularly watchful for students riding bicycles or walking to school at this time,” according to John T. Hanna, director, Highway Safety Division of Virginia. “Children need to be reminded not to stand in roadways while waiting for buses. If sidewalks are not available, children should stand on the road’s shoulder, well out of traffic. When bike riding in groups, young children often tend to spread out. Drivers should always check for additional bicyclists if one or two bicyclists cross the street,” Hanna advised. Keeping head and tail lights in proper working order will help make vehicles more visible to other vehicles and pedestrians. Clean windshields will eliminate dust and pollen that has accumulated on die outside of a vehicle’s glass. BICYCLISTS and pedestrians need to take the necessary precautions to be seen. A bicycle headlight and reflectors are essential when bike riding in darkness or early morning traffic. Pedestrians should wear bright clothing, carry a flashlight or wear reflective material. “Alertness and good visibility are key factors in preventing highway accidents and fatalities,” Hanna concluded. □ Bam Village Antiques - interior Design - Decorations - Jewelery OPEN EVERY DAY • " ' : T .

Livestock credit program amended CHANGES in the Special Livestock Emergency Credit Program are now in effect in Virginia. The Program, originated under the Emergency Livestock Credit Act of 1974, will continue to be administered through County Offices of Farmers Home Administration, the U. S. Department of Agriculture Rural Credit Agency. Under the program, FmHA guarantees loans made by banks and other commercial lenders to help farmers and ranchers continue in various lines of livestock production through a period of adverse economic conditions. The bill (Public Law 94-35) signed June Wharton Howard Shelton Warton, 78, of Castleton died May 1, 1976 in Warren Memorial Hospital, Front Royal. He was a farmer, the son of the late Broadus and Mattie Peyton WHarton. He was a member of Maranatha Baptist Church in Flint Hill. Survivers include his widow, Mrs. Mattie Mae Corbin Wharton; a son, Howard R. Wharton of Castleton; a sister, Mrs. Helen Cloud of Opal; and two brothers, Walter Wharton and Robert Wharton, both of Castleton, and a grandson. Funeral services were conducted Tuesday at Geest Funeral Home Chapel by the Rev. Clyde Woodward. Burial was in Sperryville Cemetery/O 16 by President Ford amended terms of the program established last year and extended its duration through December 31,1976. Major changes in the program are: Farmers and ranchers assisted by guarantees must be primarily engaged in Agricultural production, and livestock operations must account for a substantial portion (at least 25 percent) of their gross income or time be devoted to livestock operations. The limit on any one borrower’s guaranteed credit is raised to a $350,000 line of credit from the previous loan limit of $250,000. The maximum guarantee to a lender is raised to 90 percent of principal and interest from a previous guarantee limit of 80 percent of loss. Maximum term of a loan was raised to seven years, with a threeyear revewal permitted. Under the previous terms, loans could be made for three years, with a two-year renewal permitted. THE amended Livestock Emergency Credit Act continues the previous guarantee authority for loans to farmers and ranchers in connection with the breeding, raising, fattening, or marketing of beef or dairy cattle, swine, sheep, goats, chickens, and turkeys. Interest rates are negotiated between borrowers and lenders. Farmers and ranchers who may benefit from loan guarantees first apply to banks or other lending in APPRECIATION The Rappahannock Bicentennial Pageant Committee j! wishes to thank the many contributors to the auction ij held April 30 in the John Walker Jenkins Auction 5 Rooms in Washington, Va.

VA Beef cattlemen vote no MEMBERS of Virginia’s beef cattle industry voted against the creation of a Beef Cattle Commission in the State, at the same time sweet potato producers approved a Commission for their industry. S. Mason Carbaugh, Commissioner of Agriculture and Commerce, received the results from both votes yesterday. A total of 26 sweet potato producers voted in their referendum with 25 saying yes to a commission and only one voting no. In the beef cattle referendum the judges indicated that of 7,303 eligible voters, 5,851 had cast their ballots, and of these, 3,395 voted for the Commission and 2,417 voted against. The final tally showed only 58.1% in favor. A two-thirds (66.66%) majority was necessary for approval. A total of 23 ballots were declared ineligible by the judges. This is the third time the beef cattle growers have voted on this issue. It was defeated in 1970, when only 47 percent voted for the Commission and it was defeated HOUSE STILL NEEDED: Employed young couple and baby seek rural home with electricity and plumbing.

It was because of the close vote in 1975 that the Beef Cattle Association and beef cattle growers asked that another referendum be held. A BEEF Cattle Commission would have been a self-help program in which cattlemen would tax themselves 15 cents per head on all cattle sold. The money would have been used to maintain and expand the state, national and foreign markets for cattle and beef and increase the use and consumption of beef, veal and their products. This referendum was the largest of the three totals. In 1970 4,456 voted; in 1975, 5,543 voted; and this year, 5,581.D Softball tourney The Skyline Valley Officials Association of Front Royal has announced that the Front Royal Men’s Open Softball Tournament will be May 14, 15 and 16.
