Six of the first charges and 15 of the second group were dismissed when he entered a guilty plea to the remaining three. Michele Scott-Duns was cited for (me offense of false statements on application to which she pled guilty. They were allowed time in which to make restitution. This was to be worked out with Mrs. Elizabeth M. Buntin, Superintendent of Rappahannock Welfare Department. □

LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 A newspaper’s duty WHEN a “controversy” erupts in a community, especially a small, rural community, it is inevitable that someone—or a lot of people—wind up blaming the newspaper. Letters to the editor in the accompanying columns are undoubtedly representative of an attitude that is wide spread. The press was blamed for Richard Nixon’s disgrace, and for all we know, there might be some people who blame the press for this winter’s bitter weather. The mere reporting of events, in some people’s minds, is tantamount to “polarizing” the community. There is even a feeling that public officials ought not to speak frankly in public. Such people are free to think what they please, of course, but it is not our concept of a newspaper’s duties to the community that public officials should be protected from their own remarks, nor that public disputes should be ignored. All we have done in the case of the disagreement between Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis and Sheriff William Buntin, over mileage payments for deputies, is to report what has been said in public meetings. For the record—since the point has been raised—this newspaper has not “vilified” - Mr. Davis for what he perceives as his responsibilities, nor has it printed any expression of support for any of the arguments that have been stated. We have merely tried to report, as accurately and completely as possible, the issue and the positions taken by the Commonwealth’s Attorney, the Sheriff, and the members of the Board of Supervisors. RECENTLY, an editorial did express displeasure with Mr. Davis’s advice to the Board of Supervisors on another matter—the attempts of the Board to prevent persons from carrying loaded firearms around in their vehicles. Mr. Davis took exception to the editorial, and his answering statements were printed at great length in the Rappahannock News. We have no apologies for our position—unless it was predicated upon insufficient information—and we are sure Mr. Davis, or any other public official or private citizen, knows that we will be always willing to publish points of view which may be at variance with ours. That, in our view, is an entirely proper function of a newspaper. Open] frank discussion and debate is the way to improve a community, not “polarize” it,_ □ BOSTON NEWS Mrs. Cary Thornhill spent Wednesday through Friday with her daughter, Mrs. Harry Morrison in Winchester.

Repeated complaints and pointed inquiries were made by citizens throughout the fall in regard to the 15 cent per mile allowed the Sheriff’s Department above their regular salaries. Mr. Davis, in the performance of his duty as Commonwealth’s Attorney, called the Compensation Board in Richmond for a ruling on the allowable claims for mileage by the Sheriff’s Department. Mr. Buntin took the position that he should run his department as he saw fit, without direction from anyone and only backed down when the mileage vouchers were held up. The use of your newspaper to support this untenable position, to cloud and complicate a simple situation and to valify Mr. Davis for fulfilling his elected responsibility, has polarized the community and provided a disservice to Rappahannock. I typed the monthly mileage reports for Sheriff Bun tin and his \ three regular deputies and one part-time deputy. I personally know that some of the deputies, prior to Mr. Davis’s complaint, did not keep a daily record of mileage used for a given month, nor did they keep speedometer readings. 1 have seen some deputies, on numerous occasions, fill in a whole month’s mileage in just one day. I do not think there is anyone, no matter how honest, that can verify a mileage report that was estimated for thirty-one days! 1 have worked for Mr. Davis for the past seven years, and although I have not always agreed with him on every issue, I have always found him to be fair and honest. He stands firm on what he believes is right and states his opinion openly. 1 think Mr. Davis should be praised for carrying out his obligation to the taxpayers and standing firm through the months of unpleasantness, until the necessary routine changes were made. Dorothy Reeve Leake Irvine Sperryville Vandalism is deplored Editor: I write to tell of my disappointment about what vandals did on my property, located about a mile off of Route 626, close to the Mt. Salem Church. I can understand why someone would steal my ladder—even though it will make it hard for me to finish the roof of the small cabin 1 am building there. I find it hard to believe that someone would be so petty as to also steal two decks of playing cards. I find it harder to understand the minds of people who would: open a paint can and spill the paint on the ice of my pond; break glass bottles on that ice; break a small hole in the ice with my pick-axe and leave the pick-axe on the ice (if the ice had melted completely, 1 would never have known what happened to the pickaxe); and break several other smaller things, including—tell me why—my children’s frisbees. What kind of mind does that? These things took place in the first half of February, between my own visits to the property. I know it would be useless to call the Police to try to track down the faceless perpetrators of this kind of senseless destruction, but I do want to remind these criminals, as the Pastors of the Salem Church would have reminded their flock, that there is punishment in the next life. Leon II. S. Slawecki Reston Railroading remark disputed Editor: The February 17 issue of the News discussed the landfill problem. I respectfully disagree with Mr. Josef Gardner’s characterization of Virginia’s railroads. They are among the most successful in the country and none are in bankruptcy. Virginia had almost 3900 miles of railroad in 1975 and employed 15,270 people. 1976 figures are about the same. One Virginia railroad alone had a total payroll of nearly $23 million dollars and # made purchases of almost $12 million dollars in the state in 1975. Taxes paid exceeded 2.5 million. I am only sorry Rappahannock County has no railroads to aid its economy and I am not satisfied that for their worth they create any undue eyesores. Negative expressions, such as Mr. Gardner’s, should be avoided in public. H. B . Barnes Builder wasn’t notified Editor: Referring to last week’s paper and the front page headlines, “Subdivision plans worry planners.” This publication came as quite a surprise to me, particularly the part that brought up the question as to why the builder wasn’t at the planning meeting. I would like to make it very clear that I wasn’t at the meeting because I wasn’t notified of it. Had I been notified, I would have been there and could have answered all the .questions necessary on the proposed subdivision. ; v This proposed subdivision of Fifteen (15) Five-acre lots in the * Wakefield District will meet all required State and Local requirements as stated in the zoning. 12 KennAAk A I have met all the requirements that I can find out about but each time I think that I have finalized the steps something else will be brought out. I. started this project last fall and spring is almost here. I would also like to correct the - statement by RLEP that I am an .outsider. I was born in this part of the country and have made my home in Amissville, Va. since 1973. It is not my intention to do anything to destroy the beauty of Rappahannock County but it is my intent to provide a few small healthy homesites to those people who cannot afford to buy farms. C. L.

THE DELEGATE’S REPORT By Del. D. FRENCH SLAUGHTER, Jr. THE General Assembly in its last week of the 1977 session has completed work on a revised budget bill which, it is hoped, will result in a balanced budget by the end of the current budget period on June 30, 1978, and does not require any additional taxes, reductions in state aid to the localities or any layoffs of state employes. Further, the revised budget conditionally provides for. a pay increase for state employes which is needed and justifiable on the basis of increased cost of living and comparison with similar private employment. The state employe pay increase is conditional upon sufficient revenues coming into the state in excess of the revenues now estimated. Also, if the revenues should fall below the estimated reven ues for 1977-78 as now projected, the Governor may have to order a reduction in aid to the localities which I hope will not be the case. Indeed, I hope that the revenues based on a pickup in the economy will enable the Governor to put into effect the pay increase as well as avoid any reduction in state aid to the localities. The budget bill, as usual, contains a number of compromises but I am glad that the General Assembly was able to avoid any increase in the state income or sales tax. There is a good possibility that one of the last actions of the General Assembly will be to submit a bond issue proposal to the people for their approval or rejection in the election of November, 1977. The capital projects would be principally in the field of corrections for prison facilities and in higher RLEP to meet Friday THE Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection, Inc. will meet at the Court House in Washington on Friday evening, March 4 at 8 p.m. John Perry, executive secretary of the American Committee for International Conservation, will discuss energy from the conservation-community viewpoint, in a talk entitled “Living with Less.” Perry, who was formerly associated with the National Zoological Park, has written a series on “Exploring the Forest,” “Exploring the Seashore” and “Exploring the River.” The program will include a slide and tape presentation which has i, been developed by the Piedmont Environmental Council entitled “Farming, A Piedmont Perspective.” This will be shown and discussed by Jim Marshall, vice president of the RLEP, who is employed by the PEC as a landscape architect and farm program director. John Perry This film demonstrates the contribution which family farms have made and continue to make to the Piedmont area.

The proposal requires that these bonds be paid over a period of 20 years with principal payments, as well as interest, being made each year. The bond issue proposal is large in dollar terms but could be managed in view of annual revenues in the state general fund of approximately $1.8 billion and if passed the bond issue could possibly relieve some of the pressure for a tax increase in 1978. It depends on the need for the capital projects versus the reluc tance to borrow at this time. GENERALLY, the 1977 session has been more constructive than might have been expected at the beginning of the session in that taxes were not increased and several constructive bills on state regulations have been passed. On the negative side the legislature has failed again to pass more stringent anti-crime measures regarding those convicted of serious, violent crimes and those who are habitual criminal offenders. This is my last legislative report of the 1977 session. □ ffinal’ ■ffiribufy.

Get Eradicane Selective Herbicide f aEradtean* Johnsongrass, as strong a weed as you’ll ever see, can put you out of the corn business if left unchecked. An Eradicane herbicide program is the answer. Here’s how to use it. Plow early and disc several times to chop the johnsongrass rhizomes into pieces about 4 inches long. Then disc in Eradicane thoroughly. Plant fields infested with johnsongrass last, so the soil is warm. This way, corn grows fast to make a quick ground cover without weed competition. Eradicane also controls many other grass and broadleaf weeds. That’s the Eradicane herbicide program... it works so well performance is guaranteed in the continental United States when used as the label directs, or Stauffer will replace the product. Verify purchase, leave a check strip and notify Stauffer promptly. This season control seedling johnsongrass and thoroughly suppress the rhizomes. Use Eradicane. Always follow label directions carefully. See your Stauffer supplier for Eradicane. Eradicane from Stauffer Chemical Company Agricultural Chemical Division P.O.

I remember K. P. Grigsby telling me about his first experience with their new round bales. He unwisely dropped a freshly rolled bale on the side of a steep hill. The thousand pound plus bale started rolling. As it gained, momentum, it bounded into the air a couple of times. Smashed through the barbed wire fence at the edge of the field and finally came to rest in the Thornton River. The agriculture engineers have asked Extension Agents to warn their farmers that tractor operators can and have been killed when improperly handling large round bales. These bales can roll down the lift arms of front-end loaders, if the bucket is raised above the tractor hood. Use care. Good farmers are becoming an endangered species in the Northern Piedmont.
