Rappahannock News, June 17, 1976

VOLUME XXVII, NUMBER 31 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA • THURSDAY, JUNE 17, 1976 FIFTEEN CENTS By School Board ‘Title Nine’ adopted under TITLE Nine of the 1972 Education Amendments Act passed through HEW was adopted under protest by the Rappahannock County School Board at the June meeting of this group. The Act provides there will be no discrimination in education, employment, etc., and that all classes of schools be open to either sex. As an example, boys may take Home Ec and girls may take shop, if they wish. It also provides that all athletics be comparable. However, it says that gym classes must, not may, be co-educational with the exception of contact sports. The boys and girls must, not may, play volley ball,games, etc., which are not considered contact sports, together. The motion for adopting Title Nine was made by Allen Stokes, who said he did so under duress. A second, under duress, came from Mrs. Arthlinda Quaintance and the unanimous decision was noted with duress. “I’m sorry, I have too much common sense for this,” said Board Chairman E. N. Montague. In order for girls to participate in interscholastic basketball and baseball they must assume a lar ger schedule than they have been in previous seasons. There are ten teams in the Skyline District and all must participate fully in league play, if at all. Social Security office is opened in Culpeper ON JUNE 7, THE SOCIAL SECURITY Administration opened a full time office in Culpeper. The office will be open daily from 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m. and is located in the Culpeper Shopping Center between the Finance Company and the barber shop according to Branch Manager Bruce Hundley. The Culpeper Office will serve Culpeper and Rappahannock Counties in the beginning. When other employes complete their training, the office will become the servicing office for Fauquier County, also. The office will open with ten employes on duty. They are: Claims Representatives, Dodie Lewis and Janice Rotenberry; Service Representatives, Barbara Colvin and Mary Alice Fisher; Data Review Technicians, Sue Hartman and Evelyn Nicholson; Claims Development Clerks, Becky Wallace and Ann Williams; college work study, Sallie Washington; and the Branch Manager. The address is 522 Culpeper Shopping Center, Culpeper, 22701. The telephone number is 825-3500.

Photo by Susan Latham protest ATTENTION has been given the future of the school bus maintenance shop which will eventually be taken by the Highway Department when Route 211 is duallaned. The consensus of the Board indicated the area near the lagoon is the preferred site; however, much ground work in reference to access, excavation, etc. would have to be done before a firm commitment would be made. In discussion which considered moving directly back from the present building, account would have to be taken of zoning, which requires a 60 foot setback in addition to the 180 feet setback from the present center line of the road. Other items to be considered include the septic tank and drainfields and bus parking area. THE BOARD has decided there would be no merit in acquiring food service from the Marriott Corporation but there is a need to upgrade the food quality and service at the high school. On the must list is to take the food service line out of the kitchen and install a bread warming unit. Space here is a problem and the installation of a soup kettle did not seem feasible, though was considered desirable. Mr. Norton advised the group that funds are available and that structural changes should begin right away. Summer school personnel were approved. A list of the personnel for the summer school program was approved and a bid for resurfacing the high school parking lot was also approved. The school system is still seekking a reading lab teacher and teacher contracts will be issued based on the salary schedule of a 5.5% increase.

MRS. SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 The budget hearing MAYBE he was in a fog, but the headline writer really goofed last week. Of course, the Supervisors have not yet “set” the tax rate—they’ve merely decided to hold a public hearing on a $4.40 rate, which would be 50 cents higher than the current rate on each $100 of assessed value. And of course a hearing must be held for the public giving an opportunity to comment oh the published budget. It’s the law, and our reporter knew it and so did the headline writer. Some telephone calls to the office, however, indicated some people didn’t read far enough beyond the headline to recognize the obvious error. The point of this public confession of error is to empha size the importance of the public keeping informed on public matters, and of participating in hearings where taxpayers are given an opportunity to say their piece. THE NEWS tries to keep the community informed of what is going on and why (with occasional — we hope very occasional—lapses), but we sure can’t force anyone to read about it. It is up to the citizen to keep abreast of the news reports, to find out more details if needed, and then to take part in the decision-making process. So, if you’re interested in the county budget and how it affects your tax rate, by all means show up at the hearing at 10 a.m. June 24, and speak up!D Schaible appointed Dr. Todd D.

(Ray Dilley photo) Letters to the editor Words of thanks Editor: There were several parts in the script for the pageant last Saturday night which, unfortunately, in an effort of that size were overlooked. Qne^jvas an expression of thanks to Mr\ and Mrs. Fletcher for lending Montpelier. It was ideal for an attempt to create a genuine mood that would enable us here in Rappahannock 1976 to appreciate our past so that we will be a committed part of what needs doing to preserve the good in our heritage and to work to correct what has not measured up to the vision seen by the framers of the Declaration in 1776. A second was to voice our regret for mistakes in timing that resulted in embarassing failures to get all members of the cast on stage. These disappointments I feel very keenly. Lastly, to thank most sincerely all who helped to make the success that I have been told it was. The scores of people who gave hours of their time, who loaned costumes, who made costumes, and who made it go in all sorts of other ways are the ones who deserve the county’s thanks. The county made a tremendous effort and must feel very proud. Cornelia D. O’Connor Disaster payment program The disaster payment program is designed to assist farmers in the event of a disaster. Disaster payments are made when the planting of the crop is prevented or when the yield for a crop is abnormally low. In Rappahannock County payments are listed to farmers with allotments for feed grains (corn, barley, grain sorghum), and wheat. If due to a disaster, a producer is prevented from planting an acreage of non-conserving crops equal to the total farm allotment for those crops, he may be eligible for a payment. If due to a natural disaster the production of feed grains or wheat is abnormally low , a producer may be eligible for payment. Payments include two areas: (1) When a crop is lost after planting and some or all of the damaged acres are abandoned or devoted to another use. (2) When producers carry damaged acres through to harvest and ultimately harvest substantially less than a normal crop. For both prevented planting and abnormally low yield payments an on-site farm inspection is necessary. Producers who feel they may be eligible for payment should not destroy the evidence of the affected crop prior to contacting the Rappahannock County ASCS Office for an inspection. Destruction or harvesting the crop before an appraisal is made by ASCS may render the crop ineligible for payment. Dr. Hutt enters race for Congress Dr. James B. Hutt of Warrenton, American Party candidate, has filed for the Congressional race in the Seventh District of Virginia. Dr. Hutt, a practicing physician m Warrenton, obtained more than 2,000 signatures on his petition. Dr. Hutt decided to run for Congress ‘‘Because he sees the ever-enlarging and unconstitutional role of the Federal Government in state and local affairs as a threat to individual freedom that can only be stopped by an aroused citizenry.” Dr. Hutt says “Virginians must become informed and make their opinions heard, but that it has become obvious that this can not be done through the Democratic or Republican parties for regardless of which party is in power, the result is always the same—more Bureaucracy, more taxes and fmoke inflation. ’ ’

This is ASCS Awareness Week9 THE Agricultural Stabilization id Conservation Service (ASCS), « of the agencies of the USDA ie agency that deals most directly >vith farmers and rural people. The agency, first created in 1933, was known as the Agricultural Adjustment Act, “TripleA” Program. This was the first national farm legislation that has changed only in concept to meet the current problems and conditions. The agency became known as Agricultural Conservation and Stabilization Service in 1962. In all of these years, the objective of ASCS has been of service to rural Americans. This service has helped provide consumers with a constant supply of farm products for a smaller proportion of their income than anywhere else in the world, while at the same time assuring the farmer of a specified minimum price for his products. The administration of ASCS is tied to grass roots through the ASC Committee system that is composed of farmers. The Committeemen are elected by farmers and are responsible for administering programs passed by congress and signed into law by the President of the United States. THESE programs are designed to attain fair incomes for farmers, assure adequate food and fiber for consumers, and promote the conservation of soil and water resources on farms for the benefit of the whole nation. Wool production encouraged The Wool Program administered by ASCS was created by Congress to encourage the production of wool in the U. S. and to guarantee producers a fair minimum price for his wool. The National Wool Act of 1954 established the incentive price for shorn wool at 72 cents per pound for the marketing years 197177. The rate of payment is announced after the marketing year is over and the average price received by all producers is known. If the national average price is below the incentive price, payments are then made to wool producers to bring the National Average Price for Wool sold up to the incentive price. For example: In 1975 the in centive payment rate was 61.1%. This payment rate is based on the difference between the National Average price of 44.7 and the incentive price of 72 cents a pound. A growers payment on 1975 marketing is determined by multiplying his net dollar return from the sale of wool by the payment rate of 61.1% regardless of the price received per pound. The payment provisions of this program provides incentive for a producer to improve the quality of his wool in order to get the best price possible. In 1975, 15 wool producers in Rappahannock County received incentive payments totaling $1,321.46.□ ACP program aids farmers Since 1933 the Agricultural Conservation Program has shared the cost with the farmer in carrying out conservation and pollution abatement projects. This cost-share assistance has helped the farmers to seed grasses, improve pastures and other projects that prevent agricultural pollution from reaching our streams and rivers. Practices which contribute to long term soil and water conservation have been emphasized under this program. These practices provide forest for recreation, wildlife, watersheds, and above all adds to the beauty of Rappahannock County for all to epjoy. The Agricultural Conservation Program is developed by the Coun ijoan programs The Storage Structure and Drying Equipment Loan Program has been helpful to Virginia Farmers over the past 20 years. This program has provided for over 4500 loans and nearly 13 million dollars of capital to Virginia Farmers. Storage Structure and Dryer Loans provided funds to enable farmers to erect needed storage on the farm and to purchase equipment needed to dry and condition crops that are produced on the farm. Once a farmer has storage facilities located on his farm, he may obtain loans on crops stored in these structures. This type of loan provides a farmer with some working capital while still retaining ownership of his crops. This will allow the producer to sell when market prices are favorable rather than selling at harvest time.D ty Committee which has full authority in selecting projects for inclusion in the county program. The conservation need in Rappahannock is first identified and then projects are selected by the County Committee that will provide needed solutions.□ r In Rappahannock County the County Committee is comprised of Thomas R. Taylor, Sperryville; James F. Massie, Amissville, and Dabney M. Eastham (Chink), Flint Hill.D Thomas M. Eddins, County Executive Director and Mrs. Mary V. Updike, Program Assistant, are always ready to serve the farmers of Rappahannock County. ASCS open house June 13 -18 has been designated by our agency as ASCS Awareness Week. During this week we want to tell Agricultural Producers and Consumers about our agency, its farm programs and services. We will have open house, Friday, June 18 from 1:30 - 4:30. Since we are in a new office, we felt that this would be an excellent time for folks to visit and talk shop with us.

Ancient art lives on m . , _ clalicrograra and heard Ihadsomi all unmarked, line ,, _ ti m oto QhplvPS. By DAPHNE McCULLOUGH DICK PIERSON of Amissville considers himself one of the last practitioners of a dying art, a master of a craft that is no longer being properly taught. He is a calligrapher of the old school, instructed in' that discipline at the Zanerian College of Penmanship. Produced chiefly by brush, calligraphy is a highly decorative handwriting with a great many flourishes. “The Catholic Church still teaches calligraphy but they don’t reach the same plateau of professionalism. Now, I’m not saying that they’re not any good, but it just isn’t the same.” Neither is his alma mater, Dick maintains. Although the Zanerian College still teaches calligraphy, he feels the quality of instruction has dropped since the art department died in the late 60’s. The College taught the ZanerBlowser style of penmanship and still produces elementary school penmanship workbooks that reflect this style. Dick was one of Parker Blowser’s last pupils. He also studied under E. A. Luper and Adrian Tolley, the White House penman for over 40 years. “I was taught by three of the finest penmen in the world but what I do is Piersonian—my style is really my own.” ACCORDING to Dick, another expert calligrapher—and he doesn’t think there are many of them left around—would recognize his style immediately. Like Michelangelo’s brush strokes or Rubens’s models, it’s that distinctive. ^“There’s been a new surge in interest in calligraphy but the people who are learning the craft today don’t reach the same level. You can’t if you don’t have teachers to show you the tricks. I was probably the very, very last to have that (at the Zanerian College).” Dick began his studies in May of 1959 and within six months was working FOR the College. “But I was still learning then and I’m still learning now,” he added. He’s never lacked for business. When things get slow, he makes the rounds of the Washington, D. C. offices. “Almost any institution gives out certificates for something or other. I very seldom strike out and I get a lot of return work.” His jobs have included White House Innaugural Announcements for former President Nixon, tributes to columnist Drew Pearson from the Big Brother Association, and to former President Johnson from the Post Office Department, and tributes to Mamie Eisenhower, Pat Nixon, Norman Vincent Peale and Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, along with the graduation certificates for Merry Mount, George Washington University and the National Academy of Science. Dick also did a tribute to Tom Frost of Warrenton from the Fauquier Hospital, and a commendation for John D. McCarty of Delaplane. DICK’S interest in calligrapny began when he was young. “As a kid, I never liked anything around me except my grandparents. They lived two miles away and I wore a path to their door, going back and forth.” Under their influence, Dick started collecting “old things” and in a book, found an example of old fashioned calligraphy that particularly impressed him. “I can do that,” he told himself. Self-satisfaction was his reason. “I live in the 1890’s. I should have come from another time, I-belong in another time. . .a time when life was slower and the quality of craftsmanship was higher.” ANOTHER outgrowth of Dick’s fascination with the past is a record collection—an overwhelming 20,000 original disks worth some $60,000, at a conservative es Dick Pierson of Amissville has 20,000 records in his collection— everything from an 1880 reissue of Robert Browning reciting his poetry (his oldest record) to a song recorded by Rudolf Valentino in 1923 (his most valuable). the walls of the Pierson music room and the shelves, row after row from floor to ceiling, are filled with records. Name an artist from Woodie Guthrie to A1 Jolson, from Caruso to Leadbelly, and Dick has a record. Not only does he have it but he knows right where to find it on all those shelves among all those identical brown paper covers! “The most I ever paid for a record was $25 for the only recording made by Rudolf Valentino. I really had to have it! Usually I don’t pay more than 25 cents for most of what I buy. I go junking in antique stores but you have to know what you’re looking for to do that successfully.” Radio station WKCW, the “Big K” of country music in Warrenton, called Dick when country music star Tex Ritter died. “They wanted to do a spe U1U A vwi v, " -o or~ "a along sntotothly- until Dick ntcU^ tioned that he had soipe of Tex’s records that went back, to , 1920’s. According to Dick, there was a long silence attheother end of the phone and then the voice said they’d get in touch with him later. They never did. Dick is sure that they marked him down as some sort of crackpot. “These young men today, they don’t even know that there ever was a 1920.”□ An example of Dick Pierson’s craft of calligraphy done in the time it would take someone to write their name normally.

Farm Bureau ups rates THE Virginia Farm Bureau Insurance Companies have announced an average 12 per cent increase in auto liability coverage, effective June 1. In making the announcement, Otis W. Nuckols, executive vice president of the Farm Bureau Insurance Company, said it was the first auto liability rate change since February 1, 1968. Under the new rate system cost of coverage will be adjusted upward in some parts of the state, and lower in other areas. “Since there is no change in average rate for comprehensive and collision, coverages, the 12 per cent increase in liability amounts to an overall increase of 7 1/2 per cent in auto premiums,” said Nuckols. The Farm Bureau Company pointed out it had adjusted its rates according to loss experience by territories to make them more equitable between classes of drivers and geographical locations of automobiles. EXAMPLES of the new rates show that coverage would vary in different parts of the state. Under the new rates a medium Jennifer Raney with one of tne three ducks hatched in her homemade incubator. Elementary school principal Buddy Carter gave Jennifer six eggs. The three that hatched were a minor miracle since Carter said his wife put the eggs in the refrigerator for two days by mistake. price car in the Petersburg area would increase by 16 per cent, but the new rate on the same car in the Valley territory would decrease by 6 per cent. The eleven counties in the valley area are: Augusta, Bath, Clarke, Craig, Frederick, Highland, Page, Rockbridge, Rocking ham, Shenandoah and Warren. The company’s auto loss experience has risen from 52 per cent to 73 per cent in a two year period. Nuckols cited statistics of increased hospital care costs, and rising auto repair costs as reasons for the rate increase.□ $he Minal ^ribufy.

By Jane McClary History comes alive at Montpelier THE Rappahannock County Bicentennial Pageant performed at Montpelier last week was beautiful and memorable, exemplifying the co-operative spirit of 1776 in a way that the most elaborate and expensive government-funded and directed projects are unable to do. What made the production, starting with the signing of the Declaration of Independence and highlighting 200 years of history, so impressive were the gorgeous and authentic costumes, culled from local attics, and the attention to detail: Candles in the windows, bewigged courtiers silhouetted in the shadows; flaming flambeaux and flutes; stately reels and World War II jitterbug. ii, ■4.45*' S - > -«*- <*■* Hi Donna Cannon was a nurse in the World War I scene of the pageant. Eastwood & Schroeder No more fitting place could have been found to produce the sound and light production that the people of Rappahannock worked on for many months. A costumed narrator sat on the porch where George Washington often sipped his toddy after foxhunting. The First President, magnificently costumed in his General’s garb, was much in evidence in the pageant. In Rappahannock County history, the name Thornton is as well known as the rounded rocks and weathered snake fences, the same type that George Washington jumped on his favorite hunter Buckskin (forerunner of the famous Blueskin) when he spent long periods visiting his Thornton cousins at Montpelier (pronounced Montpelair in order not to be confused with President Madison’s Montpelier). JAMES WILLIAM Fletcher lives at Thornton Hill. He is married to Mildred Thornton a direct descendant of Francis. Following the death of the last member of the Shackelford family, who bought Montpelier after the War Between the States, the house became Uie property of “Jim Bill” and “Miss Millie.” The Thorntons were one of the first families to make their way through the wilderness to Rappahannock. Francis Thornton received a Royal Grant of 40,000 acres—all the property he could ride his horse over in one day. In 1740 he chose a location “more beautiful than any other” to build a house for himself and his descendants. When Montpelier rose on its elevated hillock overlooking the Hazel River, the squatter hunters came from their humble dwellings to gaze in awe at the great carved foundation stones and columned portico. Under the ownership of Dr. Philip Thornton, Montpelier reached its peak. The doctor was Edgar Allen Poe’s physician and a member of the Virginia State Legislature. He loved the theater, which he attended whenever he was in Richmond, and where he was on the PUBLIC AUCTION Saturday, June 19-11 A.M.

WHEN the fire broke out Dr. Thornton found the nearest exit blocked by a beautiful Frenchwoman whose hair had come loose, “falling in wild disarray to touch the ground.” Winding his hands in her hair he lowered her out of the window. The lady’s name was Caroline Homasel. Following their marriage in 1812 the name of “La petite Mademoiselle from Philadelphia” became legendary. Today there are still mountain children with the name of “Homie” in the County. The great and near great beat a path to her door. The mountain people were as royally entertained as Louis Philippe, who visited Montpelier on his way to exile in Kentucky. Last week’s pageant captured the essence of Montpelier’s romantic history. The bewigged gentlemen and hoop-skirted ladies dancing to the music of flute and spinet maife the past seem as real as the mannered movements of their minuet. Col. M. F. Biddle aptly portrayed Benjamin Franklin in the pageant. Eastwood & Schroeder Mary Jamieson stole the show Saturday night when she appeared as a “bloomer girl” in the pageant at Montpelier.
