Rappahannock News, September 23, 1976

Book review contest starts soon By MARY JAMIESON THE 1976 Book Review Contest of the Rappahannock County Library will start October 1 for Elementary School students and October 5 for High School students. All students who use the Rappahannock Library are eligible to enter. Last year, 220 Elementary School children entered. An even larger participation is expected this year from both the Rappahannock Elementary and the Wakefield schools. Each pre-high school contestant will read two books to be selected from the Rappahannock Library collection of more than 8,000 books for review. The contest is designed to teach children how to make a public library function for their own use. Cash prizes, magazine subscriptions and books will be awarded the three winners and the three Honorable Mentions in the 5th6th grade contest and in the 7th grade contet. Parents are urged to encourage their children to enter the contests because it is an important opportunity for them to get an experience that will be useful throughout their lives. The Rappahannock school system and the teachers have given their full cooperation in preparing the contests . FOLLOWING is a 1975 contest winning book review, written by Richard Burke of Huntly, then a sixth grader at Rappahannock Elementary. He reviewed “Mountain Men of the Early West,” by Olive W. Burt. “Most mountain men had to make their own clothes and they owned only furs, knives, bullets and a gun. Mountain men were always ready for Indians and wild animals. They had to kill animals so they could eat. Most men started out after Meriweather Lewis and William Clark returned from their — - * w..u trip. The Indians would trade with these men until they realized that the white man’s gifts were not any good. It is then that the Indians See Page 3 Shadows lengthen as summer gives way to fall.

It’s September. , Virginia population increases 6.8% SMALLER cities in Virginia and the fringes of metropolitan areas have experienced the greatest population growth between the 1970 census and July 1, 1975, according to new estimates made by Tayloe Murphy Institute researchers at the University of Virginia. TMI researchers estimated the state’s total population to be 4,966,200 on July 1, 1975, representing a 6.8 per cent jump during the five-year period. Population estimates for cities and counties also “show that non-metropolitan portions of the state increased by 8 per cent since 1970, while metropolitan areas increased by 6.1 percent” in the report updating the 1970 census. William J. Serow and Julia H. Martin prepared the figures, which include estimates for July 1975 and give percentage changes between 1974 and 1975. Dr. Serow is associate professor and the population research director for TMI, part of The Colgate Darden Graduate School of Business Administration. Dr. Martin is a research associate. The annual population report provides the state’s official estim Local estimates Population has increased 8.7 percent in Fauquier County over the last five years. In 1970, the population stood at 26,400. TMI researchers estimate the 1975 population at 28,700. However, the figures indicate that the county’s growth rate slowed from 1974 to 1975 from 28,600 to 28,700—an increase of .35 percent. The population growth rate in Rappahannock County was greater between 1974 and 1975 than in the preceeding four -year period. Population grew from 5,200 in 1970 to 5,300 in 1974, an increase of 1.9 percent. Between 1974 and 1975, the population grew from 5,300 to an estimated 5,500 a 3.7 percent increase. Clarke County’s population was up 4.9 percent, from 8,100 in 1970 to 8,500 in 1975. ates. Copies of the printed report are expected to be available next month and may be obtained from the Tayloe Murphy Institute, Box 6550, Charlottesville, 22906. TMI researchers estimate that growth in four cities and 13 counties has increased by more than 20 per cent in the first half of the 1970s. Most of the areas surround Charlottesville, Fredericksburg, Richmond and Northern Virginia. IN THE cities, the greatestgrowth is estimated in Manassas Park with 9,300 persons in 1975, a 35.7 per cent increase. Others are Po quoson, 6,900, up 27.2 per cent; Virginia Beach, 217,800, up 26.5 per cent, and Harrisonburg, 18,300, up 25.1 per cent. Richmond area counties registering increases are Powhatan, 10,600, up 38 per cent; New Kent, 7,200, up 35.9 per cent; ChesterHeld, 102,000, up 32.4 per cent, and Hanover, 46,200, up 23.3 per cent. In Northern Virginia counties, 1975 population increases were found in Prince William, 123,800, up 32.8 per cent; Loudoun, 48,900, up 31.5 per cent, and Warren, 18,500, up 21 per cent. Spotsylvania County, which ad joins Fredericksburg, is the locality estimated to have the greatest population increase in the state during the first five years of the decade. The 1975 population is estimated at 23,100, a 40.5 per cent increase. The population of neighboring Stafford County is estimated at 30,800, a 25 per cent increase during the same fiveyear period. In the Charlottesville area, Greene and Albemarle counties experienced growth of 24.7 and 23.7 per cent, respectively. The 1975 populations are estimated at 6,500 in Greene County and 46,700 in Albemarle County. OTHER expanding counties include Montgomery, which is estimated to have 58,000 in 1975, up 23 per cent, and Gloucester, 16,900, up 20.2 per cent. Among the localities experiencing population decreases are Arlington County and the city of Richmond. In Arlington County, the population dropped 12.8 per cent to 152,000 between the 1970 census and the 1975 estimates. In Richmond, it decreased 8.1 per cent to 227,200 during the same five-year period. □

MRS. SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Ban the ‘junk’ THE point raised before the School Board about “junk food” was a good one, and let’s hope that Sharon Kilpatrick’s excellent suggestion is carried out. Why, indeed, should the school system be promoting commercial, chemical substitutes for wholesome nutrition; why, indeed, should a public school system be devoted to promoting consumerism, instead of good health practices? And this is not just nitpicking, either. Much of our environmental problems are the sum total of a multitude of “small,” supposedly inconsequential matters. Rarely is a major problem the result of a major catastrophe. It’s the little things that count, like feeding children on frozen tooth cavities and chocolate covered fat and then wondering later why they’re such misshapen and listless adults. Certainly classrooms should be a place where the lures of commercialism are muted, if not entirely absent. The kids are getting enough junk food philosophy in front of their television screens; please, spare them the ordeal when they go to school. WE FEEL the same way about allowing smoking in the higher grades. Here is something which the highest medical councils in the land have acknowledged is. harmful to health, which shortens life and serves as a catalyst to cancer. Why should school officials condone smoking on school property? They might as well put in beer coolers or dispense even more controversial items if they’re willing to cave in so readily to the pressures of the smokers—who may be only a minority, anyway. Standards have to be set somewhere, and why not start in elementary classrooms which ban “junk foods”? □ LIBRARY LINES By GEORGIA HUFSTEDLER THE week of September 26 will be Fine-Free-Week at the Rappahannock County Public Library, so please search your bookcases and return any of our books you might find. Every month we receive new books, both for adults and juveniles, and recently we have been given two marvelous additions for our Virginia Shelf. Mrs. Mildred Hofer has given us a copy of the 1850 Federal Census of Rappahannock County which she compiled and indexed, and a copy of the Register of the Rev. Silas M. Bruce for the years 1832-1881. This contains more than 480 marriages performed in Culpeper, Madison, and Rappahannock Counties. We also have new cassettes, not only music, but such varied items as Robert Frost reading Robert Frost, Alice in Wonderland, Shakespeare, Peter Ustinov, and Pet er Rabbit and his friends by Beatrix Potter. Our National Geographies are indexed, the collection is extensive and should be of great help to students with reports to write, and patrons interested in information on a variety of subjects.□ Clanagan cited Festus Clanagan, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robbie Clanagan, who is serving with the U. S. Army has been recognized for physical fitness and received a medal for having the highest score in his platoon in physical training. He was also given a pin for being the fastest runner. He is stationed at Fort Dix, N. J. and will attend mechanics school there. He spent the weekend with his parents in Washington. □ Letters to the editor *Junk food* must go Editor: We were heartened to read about Sharon Kilpatrick’s efforts to persuade the School Board to provide an alternative to “junk food” at our schools, in particular at the vending machines. We are living in an age in which our researchers are continually discovering the harmful effects of certain “foods,” such as sugar, chemicals etc., we had become used to over the years and taken for granted. It is about time we become aware of those health hazards, and of the value of good nutritous foods. We are all concerned about what we put in our children’s minds— why not start to pay more attention to what we put in their stomachs? We are confident that the conscientous members of our School Board will respond to Mrs. Kilpatrick’s suggestions in a positive way and not continue to encourage the consumption of junk foods in our schools. Jane and Roger Batchelder Amissville Alternate ‘treats’ Editor: Even though I do not have children attending Rappahannock County schools, the opportunity to strike a blow at junk food encouraged me to write. (Rappahannock News lead article, September 16). Only by education and example can children learn the value of good nutrition. What an object lesson presents itself: a class discussion on the available nutrients in the commercial popsicle versus the “fruit juice” variety could spearhead a unit on nutrition! Americans generally ingest about 500 sugar (empty) calories daily. Wherever sugar can be eliminated or reduced, progress is made. Where good, solid vitamins and minerals can replace empty calories there is an advantage to the growing child. I suggest that a mother’s group could become the “popsicle committee.” Several hours work a week preparing the snacks could also put revenue into the PTA fund. I enclose several “tried” recipes my children have enjoyed summer after summer. Good luck and best wishes in your efforts to rid your schools of junk food! Barbara S.

Pedestrian deaths are up in Virginia PEDESTRIAN deaths in Virginia have risen sharply. “During the first six months of this year 78 pedestrians have been killed on Virginia’s highways, or 13 more than for the same period of 1975,” said John T. Hanna, director, Highway Safety Division of Virginia. Nighttime was the most dangerous period for pedestrians. Approximately 54 persons were killed in Virginia between 6 p.m. and 3 a.m. “Because darkness reduces visibility pedestrians should carry a light or wear white or reflective colors at night. A recent study by a group of Indiana researchers revealed that 87 per cent of the drivers who hit a pedestrian at night claimed difficulty in seeing the pedestrian,” said Hanna. Crossing multi-lane highways at night can be especially hazardous for pedestrians. During the first six months of 1976 the majority of fatal pedestrian collisions in Virginia occurred on multilane highways. “The more lanes a pedestrian must cross the more caution a pedestrian should exercise. Accurately judging the speed of traffic and the time needed to cross the street is essential in preventing pedestrian fatalities,” said Hanna. A YOUNG child needs approximately seven seconds to cross a two-lane street, a young adult Contest From Pace 1 started to ambush the white men and steal their horses. “One mountain man was James P. Beckworth who was captured by Indians and became a chieftain of the tribe and lived with them for a long time. James Bridger was one of the most famous mountain men. His nickname was ‘Old Gabe.’ He discovered the Great Salt Lake. Joseph Meek was a fur trapper and an Oregon settler. Henry Fraeb was a mountain man for 15 years who built a fort on St. Vrains which is now southeastern Wyoming. He was killed in 1841 in a battle against the Indians. Thomas Fitzpatrick was one of General Asheley’s men and was regarded as one of the , greatest Mountain Men. Another mountain man was William Sherly Williams who was born on January, 3, 1787, in North Carolina. “I like this book because I like to read about mountain men going.into the wilderness with the Indians and wild animals and how they trap animals.”□ needs four to six seconds and an elderly person may require as much as 10 seconds to cross a two-lane highway. “Age and physical and mental ability determine the time needed to cross a street. Pedestrians must know their own abilities and be able to judge gaps in traffic. Motorists can help by adjusting their speed to give pedestrians plenty of time to cross,” said Hanna. Additional safe walking rules cited by the safety official include: Before crossing any street, look left, then right, and then left again to see that no vehicles are coming; at busy intersections, watch for vehicles that are turning; when walking along streets and highways, travel on the side of the road facing the traffic. “Pedestrian fatalities can be reduced in Virginia if pedestrians keep alert, wear bright clothing at night and use good judgement when crossing or walking along multilane highways,” concluded Hanna. Slide show Cabins, mills, barns and large homes which were built in the eighteenth century are the subjects of a slide show scheduled for Tuesday, September 28, at the Flint Hill fire hall, beginning at 8 p.m. The fire company Ladies Auxiliary of that village will sponsor the event. These slides taken by Capt. Howard Holschuh of Castleton show the architecture of the time and the skill of the stonemasons and carpenters of that period. Scenes are of all seasons and covered a two-year span. Mrs. Helen Holschuh narrates the slide show. Admission for adults is 75 cents, and for children 25 cents.□ Voter deadline Citizens who wish to vote in the November election and have never registered have only a short time in which to do so. The deadline for registering is Saturday, October 2. The poll books are closed for the 30 days prior to every election.

Madison market receives suspension MADISON Livestock Market, Inc., Madison Mills, has been suspended for violating trust account, conflict of interest, accounting, and recordkeeping requirements of the Packers and Stockyards Act, the U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has announced. The firm is registered as a market agency to sell livestock on a commission basis. It operates the stockyard at Madison Mills. Madison Livestock Market consented to issuance of the order and waived oral hearing. It neither admitted nor denied the charges in an administrative complaint filed by USDA’s Packers and Stockyards Administration. Administrative Law Judge John G. Liebert suspended the firm’s registration for a seven-day period, starting September 2. It may not operate as a market agency or dealer during that time. The firm was also ordered to cease and desist from: • Using funds received from the sale of consigned livestock for any purposes of its own, other than payment of lawful marketing charges and payment of net proceeds to the consignors: • Having shortages in and failing to otherwise properly maintain its trust account for proceeds received from the sale of consigned livestock: • permitting its employes to purchase livestock from consignments for resale for their own speculative accounts: • Entering into any arrangements to finance livestock dealers; and • Issuing accounts of sale or invoices which fail to show the full, true and correct name of the buyers of consigned livestock. THE firm was also ordered to maintain accounts and records which fully and correctly disclose all transactions involved in its market agency business. The shortages in the firm’s trust account have been corrected. The cease and desist order—like ATTENTION The following is quoted from the Rappahannock County Zoning Ordinance. “BUILDING PERMITS - No building or structure which costs five hundred dollars ($500.00) or more shall be located, constructed, reconstructed, altered, or enlarged without first having obtained a Building Permit from the Administrator.” a permanent injunction—was issued to insure future compliance with the Packers and Stockyards (P&S) Act. The P&S Act is a fair trade practices law. It promotes and maintains fair and open competition in the marketing of livestock, poultry, and meat. The record in this case is open to the public. Copies of this order, P&S Docket 5293, may be obtained from the Information Office, Packers and Stockyards Administration, USDA, Washington, D. C. 20250. 4-H center THE first major contribution to help finance construction of a 4-H education center near Front Royal was made at the Warren County Fair. Carolyn Swiger, chairman of the Warren County 4H Leaders Association, and Laurie Gwin of the Rivermont Senior 4-H Club presented checks totaling $3,550 to H. Robert Edwards of the Northern Virginia 4-H Educational Center Corporation. Pamela Beverage, Virginia Tech Extension 4-H program leader at Luray, said the complex of buildings to be constructed will cost between $4 and $5 million. The $3,550 will be used for planning funds including architectural fees. The complex will be constructed on 229 acres which formerly was part of the U. S. Department of Agriculture and Virginia Tech Beef Cattle Research Station. The complex will include camping areas with cabins, conference facilities with an auditorium and staff housing. Construction is expected to begin in late spring or early summer of 1977 and the center will be in use by the summer of 1978. All the construction money, said Beverage, will come from private contributions of businesses, foundations and 4-H organizations. A special corporate membership committee will be set up in mid October to develop a fund raising campaign. The major campaign thrust will begin in January. SOME money already has been received from Warrenton civic clubs, Winchester 4-H members and a Washington Capitals hockey team game. The Northern District 4-H Center is one of the last to be built in the state, said Beverage, but it will be one of the largest to be able to serve the large populations of the district. When not being used for 4-H activities, it will be available to other youth and adult groups. With BIG SAVINGS In EVERY Deportment Just a sample of the Bargains to be found at ALL 3 Stores! * 2 PC.

Front Royal eligible for job preferences FIRMS in Warren County may be eligible for special preference in the awarding of government contracts under Defense Manpower Policy No. 4, according to Robert L. Woods, manager of the Front Royal office of the Virginia Employment Commission. Because Warren County has been certified as an “area of substantial unemployment,” firms doing business in the area which agree to employ disadvantaged workers are eligible for three kinds of preference in the granting of certain Federal contracts. First preference will be given to any firm operating in the area which agrees to employ at least 25 per cent of newly-hired workers each month from “disadvantaged workers.” Second preference will be given to firms in any area which agree to hire at least 15 per cent of their new hires each month from among disadvantaged workers. Third preference will be given to firms in the area with no requirement to employ disadvantaged workers. FIRMS not otherwise eligible may qualify for preference by agreeing to subcontract a substantial proportion of a Federal contract to eligible firms. Applications for certification of eligibility, which are required for first and second preference, are available from the Front Royal office of the VEC. No certificate is required for third preference. Woods also said that the county has been classified as eligible for grants for public works and development facilities under the terms of the Public Works and Economic Development Act. □ REVIVAL SCHEDULED All are invited to hear the Rev. William Alford at the revival scheduled for September 26 through October 1 with meetings beginning at 7:30 each evening at the Chester Gap Baptist Mission. □ FOOD CO-OP A movement is in progress to reactivate the Woodville Food Cooperative under new and different auspices.

Advice on storage of vegetables By WESLEY P. JUDKINS Virginia Tech Extension Horticulturist FALL is a wonderful time in the vegetable garden. The hard work of planting and weed control has been completed. The harvesting of delicious vegetables is an easy and pleasant job. You may have been canning or freezing your surplus during the summer. Now you should plan to store potatoes, onions, and other crops, to help reduce your food bill during the fall and winter. Modern houses do not have the desirable storage places which were formerly available in most town and country homes. If you look around however, and do a bit of innovating, you may find you can locate some good storage facilities. Cool damp cellars are fine for beets, carrots, and white potatoes or winter type cabbage. The room should be dark. Be sure to provide ventilation to avoid a musty condition. If your basement is quite cool, preferably below 40 degrees, your stored crops may last for several months. A dry unheated basement may be used by cov ering your produce with slightly damp peat moss, or with plastic to reduce water loss. If a suitable place is not available in the house, you may store your root crops, potatoes and cabbage in an unheated garage or tool shed. The temperature will remain at a more uniform low level if the building is insulated. PLACE the produce in barrels or boxes to exclude light, but do provide some ventilation. The use of peat moss, sawdust, or plastic will help reduce water loss as suggested for basement storage. As the temperature gets colder in early winter you may need to add insulation to avoid damage by freezing. A small but practical pit-type storage can be made at the edge of the garden, from a wooden barrel or metal drum. Lay the barrel or drum on its side and make a hole several inches square at the top of the solid end, which was the. bottom when the barrel stood upright. This will provide the needed ventilation. Cover with a piece of quarter inch hardware cloth PIEDMONT Chevrolet-Oldsmobile, Inc. 1*14 N. Main St. Phone 825-2161 Culpoptr. V« type wire screen to exclude mice. Make a cover to fit tightly over the open end. Cover your barrel-type pit storage with several inches of straw, coarse dry weeds, corn stalks, or other materials. Then add several inches of soil. Dig this soil from around your pit storage to provide extra drainage during rainy periods. Additional insulation in the form of corn stalks or evergreen boughs may be needed to prevent freezing in severe cold weather. WINTER type onions such as Ebenezer will keep for several months in a cool dry place. A temperature below 40 degrees is preferred. Be sure the onion necks are dry and shrunken before harvest. This indicates proper maturity and good storage life. You may harvest tomatoes when the fruits turn light green or pink on the end. They will ripen slowly and keep for four to six weeks in a moderately dry basement at about 60 degrees temperature. Peppers will keep for several weeks if stored at about 50 degrees. Sweet potatoes are quite easy to store. Dig the roots carefully to avoid brusing. Cure them for about ten days at 80 degrees. They will keep for several months if stored at about 60 degrees in a moderately dry basement. Winter type squash and pumpkins may be stored successfully in a moderately dry basement at about 60 degrees. Place on a shelf or counter. Do not store on a damp concrete floor. Be sure that all the produce you store is firm, properly matured, and free of insect and disease damage. It is a waste of time and energy to store inferior vegetables. □ Revival services at Amissville The Amissville Baptist Church will hold revival services beginning Sunday evening, September 26, and ending Friday, October 1.

Burgess, Superintendent of State Police, advises prospective users. He added that they may be used until April 15, 1977, and again from October 15, 1977 until April 15, 1978. After that last date, further use will be up to the 1978 General Assembly, unless the 1977 Assembly makes a change. Formerly permissible dates were from November 1 until April 1 but the 1974 General Assembly changed the monthly dates to the present ones. Burgess advised that Virginia law permits only studs which cannot project more than one sixteenth of an inch beyond tire treads when the tire is compressed and cannot cover more than three percent of a tire’s traction surface. They can only be used on vehicles the gross weights of which do not exceed 10,000 pounds.□ Mountain Cottage in Blue Ridge. For rent by week or weekend— enjoy fall colors.
