Rappahannock News, March 31, 1977

23219 Volume XXVIII, Number 20 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA • THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 1977 _FIFTEEN CENTS Local students rate school high ACCORDING to a statewide survey of high school seniors conducted by the Department of Education, last year, Rappahannock students gave high marks to the quality of instruction they received and indicated they enjoyed a good rapport with their teachers. At the same time, results show the seniors felt they needed additional instruction in basic math skills and wanted a wider curriculum offered at the high school. Also of interest in predominantly rural Rappahannock is that only 2.3 percent of lastyear’s seniors see themselves becoming farm helpers or dairy workers. The seniors rated quality of instruction received in English and science substantially higher than did students throughout the state as a whole. In English, 95.5 per cent felt instruction was very good or fairly good. In science, 93.2 per cent gave their instruction the same ranking. In history, mathematics and vocational training, Rappahannock students ranked their instruction at approximately the same level as students throughout the state. Ratings of very good or fairly good were given by 79.5 per cent in mathematics, 81.8 per cent in history/government and 86.2 per cent in vocational training. STUDENTS were asked to select three ways of improving quality of instruction and Rappahannock seniors indicated they felt a need existed for an expanded t curriculum. From a list of 11 choices that included better teaching methods, better trained teachers and more personal contact with teachers, 38.6 per cent selected broader curriculum, 55.7 selected more electives and 43.2 selected more career oriented courses. In more specific categories, 53. 4 per cent of Rappahannock seniors felt additional instruction was needed in mathematics skills, 31.8 wanted more reading instruction, 25 per cent wanted additional writing instruction and 35.2 felt more help was needed in developing speaking skills. Rappahannock teachers were rated highly by their students, according to the survey. Seniors were asked to indicate characteristics they felt applied to their high school and 63.6 per cent felt they were understood by their teachers, compared to only 30.8 per cent in the state as a whole. Seventy-three per cent felt they had the opportunity to discuss ideas in the classroom, 62.5 per cent felt their accomplishments had been recognized and 27.3 per cent felt they had received individual instruction from teachers. On the other hand, only 27.3 per cent of Rappahannock students felt they had the opportunity to take challenging courses compared to 52.7 per cent throughout the state. RAPPAHANNOCK students gave the availability and helpfulness of guidance counselors, high school principal, assistant principal and teachers higher rankings than students throughout the state. The survey also indicated that Rappahannock students rely heavily (Mi school personnel and their parents for help in choosing a career, with parents having the The remains of the Emerson Smith house at Amissville which was destroyed by fire last Tuesday morning smoldered for a couple of days.

However, as late as April of their senior year, 43.2 per cent of the students tak ing the survey had not decided what to do after graduation.

Presentation was made at the annual banquet Friday evening when the firemen and guests enjoyed a ham and turkey dinner. Conservation sign-up Due to cancellations and a limited amount of reserve funds, there will be a one-week sign-up period from April 4-8, for funds under the 1977 Agricultural Conservation Program (ACP). The 1977 Agricultural Conservation Program (ACP) is comprised of the following projects: RE1 Establishing Permanent Vegetative Cover. RE2 Improving Permanent Vegetative Cover. RE3 Planting Forestry Trees or Shrubs. RE4 Improving a Stand of Forest Trees. SA4 Application of Lime. SB3 Controlling Competitive Shrubs. SB5 Developing Springs, Seeps or Pipelines for Livestock Water. SC9 Permanent Open Drainage Systems. SC 10 Underground Drainage Systems. SD1 Interim Cover Crop. All applications must be made at the Rappahannock County ASCS Office. Applications for projects involving the spreading of lime and fertilizer must be accompanied by a current soil sample. This will be the last sign-up period for funds under the 1977 Agricultural Conservation Program. If you missed the November sign-up, be sure to come by the Rappahannock County ASCS Office and make an application during the week of April 4 through 8, 1977. Work which has begun before an application is made is not eligible for assistance under the 1977 Agricultural Conservation Program (ACP). Mount Salem services EASTER SUNDAY, APRIL 10, will mark the re-birth of the old Mount Salem Baptist Church, which has not been used for many years. The first religious service to be held there since restoration of the building began a year ago will be held at 3 p.m. in the afternoon Easter Sunday. The church is located near Washington on Route 626. “It is quite fitting that Easter Sunday should be the first service because, for almost 20 years the church has been dormant and falling into disrepair and to the mercy of vandals,” said the Rev. B. G. Titchenell, who will be speaker for the initial service. “This will truly be the ressurection of the church.” The public is invited to worship in the “church in the wildwood” and to join in the service so the church may again ring out with hymns of praise, Mr. Titchenell added. The Mount Salem Restoration Association will hold its^monthly meeting on April 7 at 7:30 p.m. at the hotne of Mr. and Mrs. Geoige H. Davis Jr. It is important for all who are interested in the church to attend for there remains much more to be done.

MRS. SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Farms and subdivisions AN interesting debate has shaped up in neighboring Fauquier County, and how it is resolved could affect the future of that county’s still viable agricultural industry. Officials and citizens in Rappahannock would do well to pay attention; how Fauquier handles its problem could have a devastating effect on Rappahannock, as well. The issue, brought to a head by a recent vote of a threemember majority of the Fauquier Planning Commission, concerns the “compatibility” of farms and subdivisions—of cows and cottages. A majority of the commission voted to deny a preliminary plat which they think violates the policy goals and stated intentions of the county’s Master Plan, an important one being the enhancement of an existing rural, agricultural economy. When the specific subdivis - ion application was sent to a public hearing, a number of farmers in the agricultural neighborhood which would have been affected complained that they foresaw nothing but trouble by having such a housing project plunked down in their midst. There is a great deal of evidence that their fears are justified. Loudoun farmers around Hamilton—which, incidentally is situated in what some geologists say is the most fertile strip of farmland on the entire East Coast—recall how new townhouse and tract residents raised a howl when neighboring fields were “dressed” with fresh manure. And farmers in Prince Will iam can testify as to how fences suffer, livestock is teased and abused, and land values soar, when a housing project pops up next door. FARMERS need to exist within a complete farming community.There must be enough farmers, working farmers, to support the supply and service industries they do business with, and upon which they rely. One farm isn’t enough to justify the continuance of fence post suppliers, feed stores, machinery dealers, and all the scores of other farm-related industries. But a community of farms can support such enterprises, and the entire community benefits. Start spotting subdivisions all over a farming area, and it won’t be long before farming disappears entirely. AND, remember, those existing farms aren’t creating the pressures on classroom space, school bus transportation, law enforcement requirements, recreational facilities, and all the thousand and one other service demands that accompany new subdivisions development. These things send tax rates soaring, creating still more pressures on remaining farmers. It is to be hoped that Fauquier’s debate will be resolved in terms of what is best for all of the people in the county—and the emphasis is on all, not merely the bank accounts of a few, who are often more interested in a quick profit than they are in the long- range welfare of the county as a whole.□ Letters to the editor Cancer Society needs the help of everyone Editor: Things are happening in the American Cancer Society to help you. Do you know that the population of the State of Virginia is 4,864,200? Do you know there are 85,000 volunteers of ACS working for you in this state? Among these volunteers are some of our most able busy doctors and professional people who give generously of their time and talents. Do you know there are 104 ACS units in the State? Do you know there are only 66 paid staff workers serving the entire state? Do you know Mrs. Sally Laing of Amissville and Mrs. Mary Curtis of Flint Hill are Crusade Chairpersons for the Cancer Crusade in Rappahannock? They did a great job in 1976 and are looking forward to equal success in 1977. Do you know Rappahannock exceeded its goal of $2,200, collecting $2,499.86 in 1976? This was done through individual and business contributions with no special activity to raise funds. ONLY your cooperation brings such success. Do you know Mrs. Roberta Massie Spalding has served Rappahannock as Memorials Chairman for ACS for 15 years? Do you know you can make a contribution through Mrs. Spalding in memory of anyone, anywhere in this country, the family will receive proper notification and Rappahannock will receive credit for it? Do you know the Rappahannock Chapter of ACS held two clinics last year? In March 141 attended the Skin Cancer Clinic and in October a Pap, Breast, High Blood Pressure clinic was held with 113 patients examined. Do you know doctors and clinics are making a special effort to keep the volunteers informed and upto-date on what is happening in the field of cancer? The Cancer Crusade in Rappahannock County begins April 1. Mrs. Frances Lyne Environmental issues are important to all Editor: In last week’s News and in the preceding week’s News there were two of the most important communications I have ever seen there. First came the letter from “Ima Farmer” (bless him or her), anc the other was the two-page editorial or essay paid for (mindyou! by the ENVIRONMENTAL FUND. Both expressed from only slightly differing points of view the alarm to which we can never afforc to turn a deaf ear or an unseeing eye (though in point of fact we dc both daily). The subject of that alarm? This very, very thin skir of soil covering our world between and under the oceans, or which every speck of life depends for its existence. Familiarity has accurately beer charged with breeding contempt or at least unawareness. But t( use that saying to describe th< general American attitude towarc the land is not accurate. True, i dangerously few people are familiar enough with the land and its microscopic population—or tha abstract being called Nature whicl is not a bit abstract. There is, am grateful, a woefully small min ority seeking to know, and giv< their hearts to the search, how t< treat this life-supporting legacy which is so scant and so easil: harmed. But the vast majority, t< their peril, are not familiar wit! the soil and don’t know that the: don’t know. Nor, as the ENVIR ONMENTAL FUND so carefully and so impressively (I hope) pointed out, are the catastrophic results of that unawareness evident to the majority. I shall not go further in lifeless i print (which has such an overwhelming adversary in the “Toob”) 1 with these charges, though they are very serious and not readily believed, because time and space and your attention are so precious. Instead I would like to respond to the last paragraph of “Ima Farmer” ’s letter, the urgent, poignant, four-word question: “What can we do?” I believe the answer is simple to state but far from i easy to carry out: We can think, and following that, we can act, if our thinking has been adequate, i Action not influenced by sound thinking can be more disastrous • than no action, bad as that is. Our thinking first of all should l reveal the need for study—deep, i broad, dedicated study—where to look for truth, how to recognize i it when in its presence, and what t to learn from that confrontation, i The final mental process would 1 then be to organize the acquired knowledge so as to be able to use ■ it beneficially and actively. > In conclusion, may I predict , some of what your search will 1 uncover? That this job is a big > one; that because it takes time and i effort it should not be postponed; 1 that because of its awesome importance it should not be done see rage it Do Americans deserve freedom? Editor: There’s a timely question upon which all America should seriously ponder, and one in particular to which this area should give careful self-appraisal. Do you deserve the freedom of this country? The schooled reply would quickly paraphrase our constitutional provisions and cite a God-given right. Without a doubt, freedom is the individual’s right, but accompanying this right is a rigid, uncompromising provision which offers no right without responsibility. Whatever the legal right in these United States, be it the right to have children, drive a car or any one of a dozen other privileges, each right is framed with responsibility. And if responsibility is not exercised, then the right of freedom of any other right may be restricted or completely lost. ;■* mush and sympathizing tear, President Carter’s blanket amnesty of draft dodgers totally ignored its effect on any future national military needs. It was an impractical unthinking president, completely disregarding the advice and opinion of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, The American Legion and the great majority of 9,000,000 servicemen who were involved in the Vietnam war period. What was the public’s reaction either pro or con in this area? The Rappahannock News didn’t carry a single letter to the editor. The Culpeper Star-Exponent printed just two letters and a note commenting on one of these letters. The Fauquier Democrat advised, “there were no letters whatever” on the subject. If indifference is the accepted way of life, consider the presentation by a Rappahannock civic club of a documented film on the comparison of the defensive and offensive armaments of the United States and Russia. The Rappahannock News gave a good spot anSee Page 3

T H E L I T T L E F 0 X Do Americans deserve freedom? From Pape 2 nouncement and the film had reasonably good publicity with posters and newspapers. The public . was invited at no charge. At the showing there were just three adults and two boys other than those club members who attended. For months, the magazines and newspapers have sounded the alarm by Russian defectors and dissidents. Almost every top-ranking military commander in the United States armed forces has decried our declining strength. Edward Teller, the father of the H bomb, has stated regarding the military strength of the United States— “It now seems probable we are No. 2.” Yet for some reason our area has missed the importance of the whole subject. Another question of national concern is the Panama Canal. In this country and other parts of the world, there are sacred cows, but nothing seems comparable to our sacred jackass, die United States State Department, now negotiating with Panama to relinquish control of our canal, a control which according to a copyright article states, “the canal is already lost to Americans!” Contrast the strong rebuff of Virginia’s Senator Harry F. Byrd, Jr. against any suggested “blackmail” by Panama with the weak position of Senator Gale McGee of Wyoming, who has said, “the canal is probably the most explosive factor in our hemisphere affairs today. In these times of briefcase bombs, it is almost indefensible in a hostile situation.” Is it possible that cowardice is added to indifference? If the State Department and the United States Senate gives the Panama Canal away in fear of a briefcase bomb and the threats of a pop gun arsenal cause our country to surrender rightfully acquired territory, what concessions will be made when the Russians parade their superior armaments and make relatively larger demands? Will we surrender Alaska because it was rightfully purchased from a Czarist regime? Returning to Rappahannock once more, early this year an offer 1 r was made to the students of Rappahannock High School to participate in an essay contest on, “What is right about the United States.” With the permission and encouragement of the school administration, two notices were posted offering $25 for first prize and $15 for second place. Complex menting this suggested contest were copies of a letter from Senator Harry F. Byrd. Six weeks later, contact with the school staff revealed that the contest had pulled a zero rating. In spite of teacher and administration prompting, not a single student was interested. Not one student in the Rappahannock High School was willing to write 500-600 words for $25. And not a single student felt sufficiently committed to tell the world that there was a cherished blessing—Freedom—that called for gratitude. The contest was neither restricted to time or school hours. While love of freedom cannot be fully equated by a refusal of one high school to engage in an essay contest of the values in the United States, nevertheless, it is a towering illustration of the so-what attitude. To blame the school or the home is no more effective in correcting the situation than a medical diagnosis without proper therapy. If love of country is not there it can be both taught and improved with required reading. Give the students books like “Before Honor” by Capt. Eugene McDaniel, a P.O.W. for six years in North Vietnam—six years, enduring the cruel brutality and inhumanity sustained only by his fierce love of country and an abiding faith in Jesus Christ. Another book now in film portrayal is “The Hiding Place,” a dramatic account of how two sisters endured the viscious depravity of guards and conditions in German concencentration camps, imprisoned because' of their love for fellow man. The short classic of a generation or two ago, “The Man Without A Country” is very good reading for young men in their teens. Abraham Lincoln once said, “the teaching in the school today be comes the philosophy of the next generation in government.” This is an age of negotiation, for this country as well as others, but history has proven time and again that we must negotiate from strength, strength that is developed by an active interest in the ordinary citizen. Our nation cannot maintain a strong position in anything if we continue to feed those Four Horsemen of a National Apocalypse—Apathy, Neglect, Unconcern and Disregard. It is the responsibility of every citizen who values his freedom to have opinions regarding measures and events that affect his freedom. To have opinions and to express them is vital. If national holidays are relegated to business promotions it is destroying their purpose and dignity. If Washington’s birthday, the Fourth of July and others are merely sellabrations and peanut stands they neither honor person or principle. These are occasions to guide our youth, to review the splendor of our freedom, to speak and dramatize the blessings of this glorious nation, the United States of America. Again the question—do you deserve the freedom of this country? H. R. Terhune Plan carefully Editor: I am most grateful and honored by your response to my first letter to you. Your informed reason rightly tempers my enthusiasm and I am wholly in accord with your caution that we consider very carefully the land use plan we adopt; neighboring counties have produced some very bad ones. Certainly a plan is no panacea in itself. It must be used in conjunction with other means and we can address them in future letters. Still, we might as well consider one aspect of planning, asumptions, since we have to come up with a plan anyway. A plan must be based upon realistic assumptions, particularly in population growth, and more than one assumption should be explored. We could assume a decline, no growth, small growth, or rapid expansion in population. I rather like the first one. Examine a proper span of years since the turn of the century and we will find Rappahannock is declining at four or five percent per year. In order to project that established trend into the future we shall be obliged to ask a few people to leave each year and I suggest we begin with the subdivider. Or at least the speculative ones, the ones who know the price of everything and the value of nothing. On the other hand, subdivision is being forced on some farmers in order to survive. We must find ways to make that unnecessary. Let’s examine the other three assumptions another time. Meanwhile, shouldn’t we consider the “Agricultural District” about to become law in Virginia, the open space easement and other alternatives to subdivision? I propose a farmer’s meeting, or series of meetings, hosted by RLEP and assisted by the Co-op, government agricultural representatives, the Rappahannock Historical Society, the Federal Land Bank, or any other agency, and propose these agencies go out and get us farmers and bring us to that meeting, feed us at a beef roast or do whatever else it takes to get us there. Then tell us about these alternatives. (I have consulted none of these agencies. Would their directors consider this the consultation and RSVP?)

County Forester, Lyt Wood, estimated that the fire burned approximately 160 acres before it was contained. The Fork Mountain fire was entirely within the boundaries of the Rapidan Wildlife Management Area. Initial report of the fire was made at 10:15 a.m. last Sunday by Douglas Ryder, who operates the Division of Forestry tower <mi Blakey Ridge. The fire was in a remote area and covered steep and rocky terrain; more than 60 fire fighters helped with the suppression effort. In addition to Virginia Game Commission and Division of Forestry personnel, several Local Forest Wardens, CB operators, and local residents responded to the fire. Cooperation from volunteers from Amissville, Castleton, Sperryville, Flint Hill, and Washington was invaluable, Wood said. The fire was under control at about 12 midnight and was not completely extinguished until Monday morning yvhen there were some light showers. It is suspected that the Fork Mountain fire was caused by a camper. Once again the carelessness and thoughtlessness of man resulted in a destructive fire. Wildlife and timber was damaged on 160 acres, and the cost of suppressing the fire was $1,043 of the taxpayers' money.□ Co-op election Herbert S.

Due to late planting and the prolonged cold winter many wheat and barley fields didn’t sprout until mid March. Some wheat is still germinating. The big question is what to do now? Normally, if you wind up with a mediocre stand in February, you can top dress with nitrogen and each individual wheat plant will put out four to six tillers. These tillers will fill in the bare areas and will still produce a decent yield. Since amount of tillering is controlled by day length, long days result in reduced tillering, I don’t believe you can expect much tillering from plants that emerged in late March. If you have a poor stand looks to me like these are your options: 1. Overseed with grass and clover. If wheat is worth combining, do so. If not, cut wheat and weeds for hay. 2. Delay one more week and then make a decision. If stand is still too poor, disc and seed to corn. Most of the fertilizer sown last November should still be available for this years corn crop. FRUIT GROWERS—starting with the first Wednesday in April and continuing each Wednesday through the first of June you are invited to tour a designated grower’s orchard with fruit specialist, Ed Phillips and Bob Horsburgh.

Individuals seeking the photo IDs may get applications at any DMV branch office or license examining station. They should have with them proof of identity and date of birth. DMV will accept as proof a birth certificate, school records, parents’ affidavit, baptismal certificate, military records or other similar documents.

Spring greenery can be dangerous “Please don’t eat the daffodils” the next time you are out in the flower garden. Or the jonquils, or the azaleas, or the rhododendrons. They can be mouthfuls of death. With spring bustin’ out all over, the warnings—in the opinion of botanists—are timely and in no way as silly as they may sound, according to the National Geographic Society. ‘After a long winter these spring flowers look just about good enough to eat,” one naturalist said. “And anyway, for many it’s just sort of an automatic thing to do when you’re strolling around admiring Mother Nature’s handiwork. You know, you snap off a blade of grass or whatever and absentmindedly stick it in your mouth.” " It could also be a dangerous thing to do. Many of the popular flowers, ornamental shrubs, and colorful weeds are loaded with poison, even enough tokillagrazing horse, as farmers occasionally find. All parts of the plants—seeds, berries, roots, stalks, flowers— may contain poisons that do their work on heart, nerves, brain, blood, muscles, and in breathing. They have done in victims throughout history, by accident and by murder in real-life, fiction, and folklore. However, these often lethal chemicals also are being tested for curative properties. Many familiar plants long have been used as medicines. And they also have been valued as poisons, love potions, frecklefaders, stimulants, hair-restorers, cathartics, wart-shrinkers, and the like. Some eye-catching plants, like parts of pokeweed, are prized by ^"'^ntry gourmets, but the edible parts also have killed. Less publicized may be the casua mbblers, victims of curiosity, unthinking impulse, or accident. Crawling children escaping their mothers’ eyes have gobbled the sweet shining berries of deadly nightshade, the bluish berries of privet hedges, pokeweed berries, and the tiny round seeds of the ornamental yew trees—all with bad, often fatal, results. Eating one leaf of a poinsettia can kill a child. Other houseplants—dieffenbachia, cyclamen, philodendron among them—may be dangerous temptations to bored tots in city apartments. Parts of honeysuckle, wisteria, Carolina Jasmine, the leaves of cherry trees, azaleas, and rhododendrons, and many other commonplace plants should be ad mired, but never eaten. Mistletoe berries are particularly dangerous. A couple of glossy, dark green leaves of English ivy, on a whim tossed into a picnic salad to brighten it up, may be deadly. A twig of oleander used to stir a campfire stew has felled hungry hikers. Whistles whittled out of the hollow stems of nightshade have been fatal. Three youngsters died alter mistaking the bulbous roots of water hemlock for an edible forest vegetable like ground artichoke or wild parsnip.

Environmental issues From Pace 2> half-heartedly or doubting its value; that you need (no kidding, believe me) to study biology and its offspring ecology; that growing awareness is accompanied by growing pain and enjoyment. Erstwhile Farmer P.S. Although I have singled out these two communications pre pared by others than those on the Rappahannock News staff, the editorial “Plan carefully” (in the earlier issues), stating a continuing concern of the News for living and life in this county, is also fully worthy of careful consideration and thoughtful action. P.P.S. I’d like to meet “Ima Farmer.” Walking article writer passed through the area THE PLAINS AND SPERRYVILLE were among stops made by Peter Gorton Jenkins during the first phase of his planned walking tour of the United States, an account of which appears in the April issue of the National Geographic. Jenkins began his trek in Alfred, N.Y., heading South through Pennsylvania, and traversing this area before heading over into the Valley at Charlottesville. There isn’t anything in the text, however, about the local stops, and a photograph taken in The Plains, printed full-page in color, doesn’t particularly advertise the community—it’s a closeup shot of turning maple leaves; that’s all, just a couple of leaves. Charlottesville didn’t fare any better, pictorially; a picture taken there is also a closeup of a leaf, in a gutter. Jenkins relates that he started his trip as a recent college graduate disillusioned with the United States. By the time he finished, he had an entirely different outlook. “I haven’t gone a day,” he says, “that someone I met hasn’t been kind, or thoughtful, or helpful. Plain! simple, ordinary folks they may be but they’re heroes to me.”—R.E.D. FAUQl'IEK LIVESTOCK EXCHANGE.

Seminar on cancer treatment Dr. Gerald Goldstein of the University of Virginia Medical Center conducted a seminar on cancer treatment for all American Cancer Society volunteers on March 9, 1977 at the Medical Center. Attending from the Rappahannock County unit were Mrs. Juanda Rodgers and Mrs. Elizabeth Scherschel who found the program most informative. Physicians from the various departments discussed methods of treatment for cancer patients including new drugs used in Chem otherapy, the use ol' Xeromammography in the detection of breast cancer, surgery, and radiation treatment. Dr. W.C. Constable also conducted a tour through the Radiation Oncology Department following the seminar. As the large group trouped through the Radiation Department a kind statement by a nurse touched everyone very deeply. When asked by a patient if these people were all new patients, she commented, “Oh, no these are the people that make our work possible.”□ Forest plan comments sought Public comment is being sought on two documents pertaining to proposed management of nearly 200-million acre National Forest System, according to information received from George Smith, Supervisor of the George Washington National Forest.
