Founded 1877 Planners Vote Subdivision Denial By DAPHNE McCULLOUGH Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The Rappahannock Planners voted to recommend that the Board of Supervisors deny a rezoning for C. L. Goode’s proposed Mountain Slopes Subdivision. The courtroom in Washington was packed for last Wednesday’s Planning Commission public hearing on the rezoning for the Flint Hill development. Despite Chairman Herbert Barksdale’s efforts to keep comments relevant, heated exchanges between proponents and opponents frequently drifted off the issue and onto personal questions centering around “newcomers” versus “oldtimers”, the future of farming and needs in the county for moderate income housing. Park Thompson, a Manassas attorney representing Goode, made the first remarks. He noted that the developer’s plans had already received both Health and Highway Department approval. “Mr. Goode feels this is the highest and best use for the property,” said Thompson, who maintained that a demand existed for the type of subdivision proposed by Goode. “There will be no development on slopes with grades of 14 per cent or over in the project,” said Thompson. “The actual construction of houses, or where area would be disturbed for drainfield sites will be on land with less than 14 per cent slopes,” he said. Premature Development Phil Irwin, representing 500 member families of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection, stated that organization’s opposition to the rezoning. Granting the application would be a “premature act, in violation of the best in* terests of the people in the county”, said Irwin. He cited surveys that indicate the majority of Rappahannock residents want to maintain the present character of the county. Rezoning approval would establish a dangerous precedent, warned Irwin. Werner Krebser of Huntly read from ordinance requirements that state that subdivisions without central water and sewer, built on slopes less than 14 per cent, may be divided into five acre lots, but subdivisions with slopes greater than 14 per cent must have 25 acre lots. Goode’s tract contains a substantial percentage of land that doesn’t meet the slope requirement for fiveacre lots, maintained Krebser. “The Planning Commission shouldn’t circumvent the ordinances for a developer,” he said. Diana Bird said she was concerned with precedents established by the Planning Commission in decisions on subdivisions. “When you begin to break up the county and begin to develop agricultural land as residential, one decision is used as a precedent for other decisions,” she maintained. Planner Newbill Miller agreed. “I think that’s a good point. I think it is precedent setting.” Wesley Harris asked Goode for approximate cost figures on homes in the development. “Will this housing serve needs of county residents or serve to attract outsiders interested in (Continued on Page 5) THE RAPPAHANNOCK HISTORICAL SOCIETY has named a room in the society’s building in Washington the Virginia Gore Miller Room in recognition of the extensive work and coordinating efforts and the countless hours of time expended by Mrs. Miller in the interest of the society. A plaque has been placed on the fireplace in the room. Much progress has been made on the building restoration and the results are fantastic. New projects are currently in effect. Stuckeys Sue BZA Over Use Permit & Mr. and Mrs. Stuckey from Spetryville have filed suit against the Rappahannock Board of Zoning Appeals and Paul Steven Edward DeMent for violation of county ordinances. BZA Chairman Josef Gardiner was served with a warrant immediately following the close of last Thursday’s meeting. The warrant came right on the heels of BZA action to suspend a special use permit issued several months ago to DeMent. During Thursday’s regular meeting, BZA member George Muth warned that a suit was imminent unless the special use permit issued to DeMent was revoked. The permit allows DeMent to expand his antiques business in the Sperryville flood plain but includes conditions that limit construction to a connected addition to the existing building and that the addition be located 50 feet from both the road and the adjoining property, noted Muth. He added that DeMent had failed to comply with either regulation. According to Muth, DeMent was notified of the conditions in writing “but he still put the roof on, put furniture in it and I noticed yesterday that siding had been dropped off’ at the location. “The neighbors have hired a lawyer and they’re going to file suit against the BZA if we don’t do anything,’’ Muth said. He added that he felt ' the suit Would be dropped if the special use permit was revoked. “Has he complied with what we told him when we issued the use permit?” asked H. L. Manwaring. The consensus of the Board was the DeMent hadn’t since the new structure was only 10 feet from the adjoining property rather than 50 feet and wasn’t attached to the other, existing building. (County ordinances prohibit building in flood plain areas except to restore or remodel existing structures. Without being attached to the old, burnt-out warehouse building, DeMent’s expansion wouldn’t qualify as restoration or remodeling.) Requirements Not Satisfied Admiral Gardiner noted that a breezeway between the two buildings proposed by DeMent wouldn’t satisfy the requirement that both buildings be connected. “I talked to him and told him you’re foolish to put one nail on the building,” interjected Zoning Administrator Evan McNear. With the Board in agreement, Gardiner proposed that a letter be written to DeMent, informing him that his permit was suspended, pending further investigation. Attorney Maurice Biddle, representing the Stuckeys, said later his clients had appealed to the Circuit Court, asking that the variance issued DeMent be thrown out since it was in violation of county ordinances. Hearing on the suit is scheduled for July 11. If the ruling goes against DeMent, he can either appeal to the Circuit Court or tear down the structure. Earlier in the meeting, the BZA considered another special use permit application for remodeling in the Sperryville flood plain. Bob Haase, representing Country Cupboards in Washington, requested a variance for remodeling and upgrading the old Co-op building into a cabinet shop. "Our intention is to restore that building in a desirable manner,” said Haase. He told the Board that plans call for part of the structure to be used as a cabinet shop and part to be rented to a compatible enterprise. “There’s no question in my mind that this will improve the neighborhood,” said McNear. “It’s a nice business for Rappahannock to have but it is in a flood plain,” he reminded the Board. He advised the BZA members to approve the special use permit application if they had no concern over someone upsetting the decision through a court appeal. Chairman Gardiner noted that the Country Cupboard’s proposal involved remodeling only and not construction of a new building. In regard to the proposed location for the shop, Gardiner noted that the entire town of Sperryville was in flood plain. “If it floods, there ain’t gonna be no Sperryville,” he added facetiously. Mary Schaefer, an adjoining property owner, asked if business would be confined to daylight hours, as the proposed shop was in a residential area, and if flammable materials and chemicals would be stored at the location. Haase replied that business hours would be during the day with personal projects only going on at night. He said that limited amounts of flammables would be stored but would comply with all regulations imposed by the Occupational Safety and Health Act and fire fighting equipment would be kept on hand. “Then I don’t oppose the project,” Mrs. Schaefer responded. "Anything done will be an improvement over what is there now. . .I’ve heard no opposition voiced on the street but I haven’t discussed this with my neighbors,” she added. The BZA members voted unanimously to approve issuance of a special use permit subject to the applicant’s submitting detailed drawings and plans including the type of building materials to be used, exact location of construction and pitch and height of roof. Historical Society Elects Officers Mrs. Virginia Miller, after being elected president of the Rappahannock Historical Society, agreed to do it “one more year, only.” Officers were elected at the June meeting of this group on the 7th. Named vice president was E. M. Jones after the bylaws were amended to include both a first and second vice president. Named to these positions respectively, were E. M. Jones and Mrs. Sally Sharp, both of Washington while Mrs. Roberta Anderson of Woodville was selected as treasurer and Mrs. Juanda Rodgers Flint Hill, as secretary. A report of the finance committee showed progress on fund raising with a new situation, the sale of the bricks in the historical society building, an excellent promotional idea. A large framed drawing of the building has all of the bricks numbered and as they are purchased, the sale of each is recorded in a log. The bricks "sell” for a dollar each and the selection of yours can be fun. Several benches, in keeping with the design and period of the Historical Building, have been purchased from the Flint Hill Methodist Church, and add immensely to the looks and convenience of the place. A tentative project of the group is the naming of the old roads in Rappahannock, as the “Richmond Road,” Poes Road,” etc., all of which will eventually have name signs erected. A SCHOLARSHIP of S200 given by the Rappahannock Women’s Club was presented Donna Woodard. RICHIE BURKE received the $100 Amissville Ruritan Club Award. ALLEN SMOOT was given Rappahannock Garden Club Scholarship of $500. THE HOMEMAKERS CLUB award went to Mae Dunn. It was $100. Myths Surrounding ERA Refuted By daphne McCullough Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer Speakers at last Wednesday’s public meeting on the Proposed Equal Rights Amendment, sponsored by the Rappahannock Ad Hoc Committee on ERA, spent the majority of the program debunking myths that surround the controversial legislation. Patricia Jensen, state ERA Coordinator for the Virginia League of Women Voters, and Jean Marshall Clarke, State Coordinator for the National Organization of Women, emphasized again and again that the amendment will only ensure that equality under the law may not be abridged or denied on the basis of sex. ERA doesn’t promise—, or threaten—social change. “The women’s movement is here and it will go on whether ERA is passed or not,” stated Patricia Jensen. Many women are concerned that their husbands will no longer have to support them if ERA is passed, said Jensen. “Phooey. Most of them don’t have to support you now,” ' she countered. Support is a matter of “love and custom more than law,” she maintained. Women are also worried over having to face the draft, if the amendment is ratified. Jensen noted that women will have to register and could be called up for service, if the draft is resumed. “But Congress has always had- the right to draft women and almost did so towards the close of World War II,” she added. Besides making vomen eligible for the draft, passage of ERA will open opportunities for upward mobility in the military that aren’t available now, she said. According to Jensen, young women applying for acceptance into the Army must currently be high school graduates. Young men do not have to meet this same requirement. Women also need higher entrance examination scores for acceptance, she added. Emotional Issues Abortion, homosexual marriage ‘ and unisex bathrooms have all been linked to' ERA by opponents of the amendment, said Jensen. This kind of tactic is difficult to deal with since the issues involved are such emotional ones, she said. She stressed that ERA has no connection at all with abortion and will mandate neither unisex bathrooms nor the allowance of homosexual marriages. If a state chooses to allow homosexual marriage, passage of ERA will require only that such marriage be allowed between women as well as men, she added. What effect will ERA have on alimony payments, asked Diana Bird. “This is a major issue with women who are happily married but don’t know what’s going to happen next.” Alimony payments are based on financial ability and need, answered Jensen. “That’s not going to be (Continued on Page 5) Beef Registration Deadline Friday, June 17,1977 is the last date to register to vote in the National Beef Referendum. If this referendum passes by a 2-3 majority of the eligible cattlemen voting throughout the United States, it will put into effect a program which will raise from 30 to 40 million dollars annually. The money collected would be used for industry wide activities in research, promotion, consumer education and foreign market development. If less than two thirds of those voting are in favor of this program, it will not go into effect. If passed, the beef and dairy cattle producers would finance the program through a system of deductions of three tenths of one per cent of the value added by each owner in the production. Make your voice heard. Be sure to register at the Rappahannock County ASCS Office by Friday, June 17, 1977. Democrats Name Henry Howell Though Andrew P. Miller was the obvious favorite of Rappahannock in Tuesday’s primary election polling 268 votes to Howell’s 231, Henry Evans Howell will represent the Virginia Democrats as their candidate for governor in November’s general election. Ninety per cent of the state’s precincts reported, Howell having slightly less that 52 per cent of the vote, 231.000, and Miller a little more than 48 per cent, 214.000. Howell will face Lt. Gov. John Dalton in the November general election. In the race of Lieutenant Gov., Charles S. Robb polled way ahead of his opponents in Rappahannock’s voting. Robb polled 251 votes to Major Reynold’s 98 and Ira Lechner’s 126. With returns incomplete, of the approximate 166,000 votes, Robb had 39 per cent. Richard “Major” Reynolds had 34 per cent, 143,000, and Ira Lechner had 27 per cent, about 113,000 votes. Robb will face Republican nominee Joe Canada in November. Rappahannock’s choice for Attorney General was Edward E. Lane who polled 231 votes to John Melnick’s 102, John Schell’s 69, and Shad Solomon’s 43 votes. Lane won the primary election leading with 37 per cent of 141,000 votes. Shad Solomon had 24 per cent, 93,000 votes, John Melnick, 20 per cent, 76,000 votes and John Schell had 19 per cent . or 74,000 votes. Lane will oppose Republican Marshall Coleman in the November general election. School Busses Vandalized Rappahannock’s Sheriffs Department has handled a variety of calls in the past week ranging from school bus vandalism to lost boy scouts. The windshields of nine school buses parked at the bus shop were broken out .sometime early Sunday morning, resulting in over a thousand dollars in damage. A window at the Rappahannock Clinic was also broken. Investigation of both continues, according to Deputy Martin Orfila. Deputy R. D. Hawkins was alerted Saturday evening by Bob Shaw of Winchester that four Boy Scouts who had been with him were lost in the Mt. Marshall fire trail and The Peak area. Hawkins responded and coordinated a search party. With the assistance of Trooper C. A. Moore, several Park Rangers and the Rev. Jennings Hobson of Washington, the area was canvassed and the children found by Gene Lyman of Washington and two unidentified hikers. A breaking and entering was reported at the Gene Wunderlick property on Route 627. As far as could be discerned, nothing was missing, said Deputy Hawkins. Warren D. “Bobby” Williams of Flint Hill has been cited for statutory burglary and larceny in the alleged entering of and theft at the home of Ben Houghton at Chester Gap. Williams was placed in Fauquier Jail prior to a hearing June 17 at 10 a.m. Water Shortage Due to the current water shorgage, Mayor Newbill Miller is requesting that all residents of the town of Washington do their part in the general conservation of the Town’s water. Citizens are asked to use restraint in the washing of cars, the watering of lawns and other excessive usages of water. Your help would be much appreciated. Class Of ’77 Bids Farewell To RCHS Commencement for the 49 graduates of Rappahannock County High School, Class of 77 was held last Wednesday evening, June 8. This was the 27th commencement of the consolidated high school. Donna Faye Cannon gave the invocation which was followed by the salutatory address given by Patricia Ann Robinson. Selections by the chorus preceded the valedictory address presented by Malinda Lou Ubben. The guest speaker was John O. Marsh, Jr., a former Congressman representing the district which included Rappahannock. After diplomas were awarded, Cheryl Lynn Brown closed the program with the benediction and the recessional, “Pomp and Circumstance” concluded the commencement. Special awards made included a $200 scholarship for a technical student which was presented by Mrs. Lynne Baines for the Rappahannock Women’s Club to Donna Woodard of Sperryville. Allen Smooth of Washington received the Rappahannock Garden club scholarship of $500 and an unspecified scholarship from Lord Fairfax Community College. Richie Burke of Woodville was the recipient of the Amissville Ruritan Club scholarship of $100 and Mae Dunn of Washington was awarded the $100 given by the Rappahannock Homemakers Gubs.

County Gains A Feminine Farrier Henry Wadsworth Longfellow never envisioned Sheree Osborn as the village smithy under his spreading chestnut tree. Rappahannock’s newest resident blacksmith doesn’t fit the big and brawny heman stereotype. At five foot, four inches, she barely tips the scale at 100 pounds., Sheree admits that she’s having difficulties gaining acceptance in the county as a farrier. “It’s hard getting started around here. People are reluctant to try someone new on such a delicate operation as a live animal’s foot. Being female has alot to do with it and being small doesn’t help.” She maintains that strength and physical size 11 Individually owned shops under one roof Downtown Front Royal have little to do with capabilities as a horse shoer. “I tell people that being short saves back aches. I don’t have as far to bend.” Besides, she continued, “a horse is so strong that if he doesn’t want you to work on him, there’s not a whole lot you can do without ropes and stuff —even if you’re a 400 pound man.” But if it takes extreme tactics to get the job done, she’s ready for that, too. Most of the horses I’ve done around here have been pretty nice—alot better than the ones I learned on. Most of them had to be thrown with ropes.” Sheree is a graduate of the Hill Craft School of Horse Shoeing, located outside of Denver, Colorado. She attended an intensive four month training course there, one of ten students taking instruction from two teachers. Most of the animals brought in for students to work on were problem horses that established smiths in the area refused to bother with. The novice farriers not only hfd to subdue the unruly horses but they had to custom make each and every shoe that went on the animals. Sheree counts MOYERS MOTOR CO., INC.

On Cab She carries her homemade forge around in her van when she goes on calls. “It’s nice to have the option of doing a custom made hot shoe if you’re working with a horse who’s foot doesn’t fit exactly right in the standard sizes.” Forging a hot shoe for an exact fit is preferrable to trimming the animal’s heels to match a shoe in stock, she said. While women have made inroads into many traditionally male occupations, it’s still rare to find a female blacksmith. Sheree said she’s always liked working with horses but couldn’t remember when the idea started to become a farrier. “I’ve been told h just runs in the family. Both of my grandparents were blacksmiths.” Although it's her job, she still calls shoes “a necessary evil”,«. necessary because people are now doing things with horses that the animals were never meant to do. A horse’s foot evolved running on grass, not on hardsurfaced roads. “No horse in his right mind would go^ jumping over fences, chasing after foxes,” she said. “There are three kinds of horses—ornery, scared and nice.” Recognizing a nice horse presents no problem at all but learning to tell the difference between ornery and scared takes time and practice, Sheree maintained. The -two categories require two entirely different approaches and if the farrier confuses the types, problems with frightened animals are aggravated, she explained. Sheree’s careful and she takes her job seriously. "If something goes wrong with a horse’s foot, he’s not good for much.” SHEREE OSBORN, Rappahannock’s newest resident farrier, checks out a horse’s foot carefully and whenever possible, leaves the animal barefoot if shoes aren’t absolutely necessary.

The School Trustee Electors will decide this question at a public meeting scheduled for Friday evening at 8 p.m. in the Elementary School. Questions have been raised about the legality of an at-large membership, occasioned by the vacancy created with the retirement of E. N. Montague. Approximately six years ago, Hawthorne School District was eliminated and its area absorbed by Stonewall and Piedmont Districts. Since that time, an at-large member has served on the Board. At Friday’s meeting, the Electors may choose to either fill Montague’s position or eliminate it. Appointment of an atlarge member is entirely legal—and entirely the decision of the Trustee Electoral Board. The Electors can appoint a replacement but are not required to do so, according to Chairman Ned Johnson. There are no hard and fast criteria to be met by prospective School Board members. The three court appointed Electors take into consideration whether the candidate is a voting tax payer, owns property, has a fair education and good business judgment—and whether the candidate has children attending Rappahannock Schools. Currently, only Beverly, Massie and Paul Nichols still have children in the county school system. This doesn’t mean that the other Board members are not eminently qualified to service. However, we feel it would benefit the county to have more School Board representatives with a direct interest in the outcome of decisions on school issues. Montague’s position should be filled and we think his replacement should be a parent with children in Rappahannock’s public schools. School Regulations Explained In accordance with State Department of Education regulations, information regarding tuitioh assistance for certain handicapped children is being made available to parents by the Rappahannock County Public Schools. Tuition assistance is available through the Rappahannock County School Board to the parents of eligible handicapped children who are enrolled in approved private nonsectarian schools for the handicapped. In order to be eligible for tuition assistance, a handicapped child must be between two and twenty-one years of age, as of December 31, 1977. Children eligible for tuition assistance include those who are mentally retarded, physically handicapped, emotionally disturbed, learning disabled, hearing impaired, multiple handicapped and visually impaired. State Department of Education guidelines are used in. determining eligibility. Tuition assistance is available for only those children for whom a special education progrqp does not exist in a local or State school or institution. Parents who wish to apply or learn more about the tuition assistance program should contact Raymond E. Hogan, Jr., Assistant Superintendent for Rappahannock County Public Schools at the School Board Office by July 15,1977. It is the policy the Rappahannock County Public Schools not to discriminate on the basis of sex in its educational programs, activities or employment practices, as required by Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972. Inquiries regarding compliance with Title IX may be directed to Dr. William J. Bloomer, Division Superintendent, P. O. Box 3232, Sperryville, VA., 9878773 or to the Director of the Office for Civil Rights, Department of Health, Education and Welfare, Washington, D. C. New Traffic Laws In Effect A number of new laws affecting Virginia motorists will be effective July 1, 1977. New legislation passed by the 1977 General Assembly of statewide interest according to John T. Hanna, director, Highway Safety Division of Virginia includes: —All persons entering the Virginia Alcohol Safety Action Program (VASAP) may now be required by the court to pay all court costs which would have been payable upon a conviction of driving under the influence of alcohol. This is in addition to the VASAP fee. —As soon as reasonably possible after an accident an injured driver must make a report to the police authority, locate the person struck or the custodian of the damaged property involved and provide such person(s) with his name, address, operator’s or chauffeur’s license number and the registration number of his vehicle. This law clarifies that injured as well as noninjured drivers must report an accident as soon as possible. —The maximum speed limit for trucks and WHO WILL WIN?

Our Rappahannock Heritage Letters To The Editor / / News Complimented Publisher, or to whom it may concern: Congratulations on your new paper! Certainly we want our paper to measure up with other county papers and I believe the “Rappahannock News” is on its way up. It’s a shame that some people get so disgusted from reading it. When did reading become compulsory anyway; to me it is a blessing. Think of the thousands who can’t read and what if the lady who wrote last week would be in the number, with no eyes to read with. Each of us had better think twice before we speak, for spoken words cannot be recalled. I’m sure the newsstand can hold an extra copy if she desires not to purchase one. As a correspondent for this fine paper, I can speak for my people, who say they enjoy it and their relatives who live afar call it their “love-letter” from home. So please keep up the good work, regardless of the criticism. Mrs. Marie F. Atkins Boston Area Correspondent passenger cars is 55 mph on the interstate system, other limited access highways with divided roadways, nonlimited access highways having four or more lanes and on all state primary highways. This law brings the Code into conformance with the Governor’s order on the 55 mph speed limit and removes the differential between trucks and passenger cars, except on secondary highways. —Except where a sign is placed prohibiting turns on red, vehicular traffic facing a steady red signal may, after coming to a complete stop and yielding the right-of-way to pedestrians and other, vehicles, make a left turn on a red traffic signal from a one-way street oiito a oneway street. —Boat, utility or travel trailers not exceeding 3,000 lbs. gross weight and not required to be equipped with brakes must no longer be inspected. —Temporary driving permits for persons under 18 years of age may be valid for one year, rather than six months as the previous law stated. —Effective January 1, 1978, inspection is required of new model motor vehicles within 12 months of the first inspection where purchased. Motor vehicles one year old or older must continue to be inspected every six months. The 1977 General Assembly also made the following requests: —Local and regional bodies are urged to “consider” the establishment of an emergency “911” telephone number system to enable simplified, quick access by persons to police, fire, medical, rescue and other emergency services. • —The erection of elec* tronic information displays along the highways should be studied by representatives of the Department of Highways and Transportation, the Highway Safety Division, the Highway and Transportation Research Council, the Governor’s Advisory Committee on Outdoor Advertising and the Department of State police. —Public utilities and the Department of Highways and Transportation are requested to allow use of rights-of-way for the purpose of hiking and biking trails. —The Committee on Health, Welfare and Institutions of the House of Delegates and the Senate Education and Health Committee are urged to study the laws of Virginia relating to emergency medical services. Women’s Meeting Held By JOAN ST. CLAIR Contributing Writer Pearl Clarke and Joan St. Clair of Amissville attended the Virginia Women’s Meeting held at the University of Richmond, Richmond, Virginia, Friday and Saturday, June 10-11. The two-day session was supported by a grant from the National Commission on the observance of International Women’s Year in Washington, D. C. The Commission was established by Executive Order 11832 in January 1975. The 35member commission was appointed by the President and two each were appointed by the Senate and the House of Representatives. The presiding officer was Jill Riickelshaus and all served without compensation. One of the Commission’s primary aims was to adopt recommendations aimed at eliminating the inequities that still linger as barriers to the full participation of women in our Nation’s life. More than 1,200 women from every walk of life in Virginia attended the meeting whose theme was “To Form a More Perfect Union.’’ The workshops numbering more than 30 included such topics as “The Creative Woman”, “Women in Politics”, “Health Needs of Virginia Women”, “Legal Status of Homemakers and Female Heads of Households”, “Women in Sports”, “Equal Employment Opportunities”, “Needs of Virginia’s Rural Women” and “The Equal Rights Amendment—Pro and Con”, which was by far the most popular workshop. Resolutions formulated in the various workshops were The Little Fox Fannons Praised Editor: A lot of our letters to the paper either defend something or complain about some condition. This one is different: I want to brag about some folks. I mean Mr. and Mrs. Bill Fannon, who are putting on a benefit polo game on Sunday. The proceeds are for the lab equipment at Wakefield School and for grading a track at Rappahannock High. The Wakefield part explains itself; the tract need calls for a few words. Here the Fannons are helping some enthusiastic youngsters to help themselves in raising money for a much-needed track. These young folks have various plans for this summer and fall where they will perform services or sell produce to raise funds. The Fannons are doing their part. I hope all others will join in.

The majority of the Session voted to adopt a resultion in support of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). One of the objectives of the meeting was to elect 30 delegates and six alternates to represent the State of Virginia at the National Women’s Meeting in Houston, Texas, November 18-21,1977. These delegates were elected in accordance with Public Law 94-167, Section 3(a): “The Conference shall be composed of (1) representatives of local, State, regional, and national institutions, agencies, organizations, unions, associations, publications, and other groups which work to advance the rights of women; and (2) members of the general public, with special emphasis on the representation of low-income women, members of diverse racial, ethnic, and religious groups, and women of all ages.” Each delegate goes to the Houston meeting, expenses paid. ' The organizing and coordinating of this first Virginia Women’s Meeting was a phenomenal achievement and those responsible deserve the wholehearted thanks ‘ from those of us privileged to attend. £ FROM BOTH BARRELS Virginia GOP Comes Of Afire By GEORGE BOWLES lUpflunnoi* N—I Sme Col—Ut Political observers in the Old Dominion will need more than a little time to sort out the remarkable events that transpired before, during and after the State Republican convention in Roanoke. The nomination of John Dalton as the GOP nominee came off by acclamation as expected. But tms was tne ... first and last BOWLES event at that astonishing conclave to proceed according to the expectations of either the Republican political engineers or the so-called political experts among the Commonwealth’s fourth estate. Going into the convention, it was all said to be wired. Investmant banker Walter Craigie of Richmond apparently had a lock on the nomination for lieutenant governor. He was the choice of Dalton, Godwin and assorted other alleged power brokers within the party. In addition, he had money, had access to money and knew how to use money, and, as one wag put it, to Republicans, money is a sex symbol. His opponent, Sen. Joe Canada of Virginia Beach, had already been consigned to outer darkness. He had stubbed his toe on his famed vote against the Equal Rights Amendment during the 1977 General Assembly. His one major endorsement came from Sen. William L. Scott. With lesser certainty, Del. Wyatt Durette of Fairfax was considered favored to defeat Sen. Marshall Coleman of Staunton for the attorney general nomination. Reagan Man, Ford Man Durette had supported Reagan during last year’s pit-convention battles, *,a%d^ v Obleman had been a ford, ngan. And, of 'course, everyone knew that the conservative Reagan Reupblicans would control the 1977 conventin and thus name its nominees. Nevertheless, the scrap between Durette and Coleman was conceded to be close. What happened is history. Canada mowed down Craigie with comparative ease while Coleman edged out Durette by less than a dozen delegate votes. They were the simple facts but their effect will roll through the Republican Party like a tidal wave in the months to come. It would be impossible to overstate their impact. The mere circumstance of a convention rebuffing a candidate for governor whom it had just nominated by refusing to go along with his preferred candidate for lieutenant governor is enough, alone, to insure that this convention will occupy a unique niche in the state’s political history. Seconded Himself Speculation after the event was, of course, rampant. Some credited Canada’s nomination to a masterful speech which he made, in effect, seconding his own nomination. It was a bold m departure from traditional practice. Others say the Craigie managers were just a little too sure of themselves, just a little too heavy-handed in dealing with wavering delegates the night before the nominations. The delegates to this convention were clearly in no mood to be told ivhat to do with their votes. And therein, I believe, lies the most significant story of the convention, and the one with the broadest implications for the future. Those of us who wrote that the convention would be controlled by the conservative wing of the party, and that the delegates would docilely do the bidding of Gov. Godwin, former state chairman Richard Obenshain, Dalton and others at the party’s conservative summit, were dead wrong. Their Own Men And Women It is clear that the delegates were their own men and women, and a right lusty, brawling lot they were, manifestly beholden to nobody. They extended their independence of thought and action to the unthinkable extreme of ignoring their gubernatorial candidate’s choice of a running mate and substituting their own. All this means a brand new ball game in thinking about the 1978 convention when the party will choose a nominee to run for the retiring Scott’s senate seat. The known candidatesapparent are Obenshain, former Gov. Lin wood Holton and former Navy Secretary lohn Warner. Before the Roanoke Rebellion, conventional wisdom held that the party’s conservative faction was in control and that the delegates would follow the “word” as received from the conservative high command. This being the case, Obenshain had to be considered an early favorite for the nomination. High Command: No Command Now all this is suddenly changed. It is apparent that the high command is not in command at all, and thus all bets for 1978 are off for the present. The turn of events at Roanoke has, of course, given the Democrats some powerful ammunition going into the 1977 general election. Commenting on the convention, Henry Howell said, “How can a candidate who can’t even get his own party to nominate his man for lieutenant governor hope to give any leadership to the General Assembly or to the state?" It is a theme we will probably hear often in the months ahead. Be that as it may, the GOP has emerged from the convention with three real, live and highly attractive candidates, each fully capable of defeating his Democratic opponent in November. It has never happened before in the history of the state. This fact, combined with the freewheeling spirit of the convention delegates, makes it entirely accurate to say that the Virginia Republican Party came of age this year in Roanoke. WIN Expanded To County wore incentive twiru, a program concerned with helping recipients of Aid to Dependent Children (ADO find work, has been added to services offered by the Virginia Employment Commission in Rappahannock County, Frauds Fulton, manager of the Charlottesville WIN project, has announced. The WIN program is operated by James Crane out of the VEC office at 122 S. Main St in Culpeper. Crane works in cooperation with the social service agencies of Rappahannock County. ADC recipients, except caretaker parents of a child under age 6 and those who are unable to work, are required to register with WIN for job placement or training, according to Fulton. Those who are exempt may volunteer to join WIN. / The welfare staff of the social service agencies screen all ADC applicants. All who arc not exempted and those who volunteer for WIN are referred to Crane. Welfare social services staff arrange supportive services, such as day care for children, counseling, and transportation, to facilitate the WIN registrant’s job or training schedule. Crane helps the registrant look for a job or enroll appropriate training. Training for WIN registrants can be through institutions such as com* munity colleges and vocational programs wlfee available. •»* “We feel WIN has something to offer not only to employers and ADC recipients bat to the com* munity as well,” Fulton said. “Employers who hire WIN registrants can get tax breaks and reimbursement for training costs as well as motivated worker*. WIN registrants get a chance for training and a good job.” - f

A survey * taken in 1975 shows that 14 per cent of divorced women are awarded alimony and 46 per cent of that figure collect regularly. Out of only 44 per cent of divorced mothers who are awarded child support, 47 pet cent receive regular payments, according to Jensen’s figures. Sex Dbdmlnathm While clearing up misconceptions on what ERA will not do, the speakers also emphasized areas of sex discimination that will be affected by passage of the amendment. Discrimination does exist, maintained Patricia Jensen and presented several examples. —In 1974, after the death of her husband, a Nebraska farm wife had to pay $25,000 in inheritance taxes on the family farm, listed in both of their names. Although she had worked side by side with her husband, the woman couldn’t prove she had made a financial contribution to the farm’s operation. She was told by Internal Revenue Service representatives that if she had died, her husband would have owed no money. —In Louisianna, a community property state, the husband is considered head and master of the marriage and controls all of the couple’s assets, including the wife’s salary and property. She may only act as his agent. —According to surveys taken in 1975, the average female college graduate earns less that the average male high school drop-out. Jean Marshall Garke, an attorney and State ERA Coordinator for NOW, added another recent example of sex discrimination to the list She cited a Supreme Court decision handed down three weeks ago that held a Philadelphia public school system segregated on the basis of sex did not violate the, 14th amendment. “They ruled that the systems were separate but equal. Now, where have we heard that before?” She also noted that the Supreme Court had overturned Federal Appeals Court rulings and held that sex discrimination was not involved in a Richmond General Electric Plant’s refusal to grant disability pay for time off taken to have a baby. The same company awarded disability payment for time off taken for treatment of drug addiction, alcoholism, prostate problems and hair transplants, Clarke said. The Supreme Court’s majority decision held that the company’s discrimination was on the basis of a condition, not on sex, she reported. “Without ERA, we’ll be subject to the whims of legislators to get laws equalized,” she stated.

Instead of women facing the almost impossible task of proving discrimination, the employer will have to show, that he is not discriminating, she explained. Clarke reported that ratification of ERA was needed in three more states by March 22, 1979, in order for 1 the amendment to become law. Most of the states who have not acted are in the South and pro-ERA forces are running into problems there with traditional conservative views on a woman’s “proper place”—and into dirty politics, said Clarke. In Nevada, North Carolina and Florida, ERA forces campaigned for candidates who pledged to support ERA and then switched votes and opposed the amendment after election. Virginia was always written off by the National ERA organizations as “too conservative to change," continued Clarke. Despite this gloomy prognosis, the amendment reached the Senate floor during the last Legislature session only to have Lt. Governor candidate Joe Canada, a previous cosponsor of the bill change sides at the last minute and vote against ERA, said Clarke. “The vote was 20 to 18 for and'we needed 21.” “The tide is with us but we only have 20 more months to do it,” Clarke said. Virginia is the only unratified state with an election this year and ERA workers estimate that seven additional votes are needed to get the proposal through the House of Delegates. Both Garke and Jensen urged women to contact local candidates. “Let them know where you stand,” they advised. Davies Opposed A woman in the audience reported that Butch Davies, Democratic candidate for French Slaughter’s seat. as 25th District Representative and one of the three males at Wednesday’s meeting, said he would vote for ERA if it could be proved that half the voters in his District supported the legislation. (Davies said later that he personally opposed passage of ERA, judging it to be “counter productive” in efforts towards equality under the law for women. He guessed that the overwhelming majority of Rappahannock residents would oppose ERA with the split somewhere close to 70 per cent against and 30 per cent for.) For the information of the audience, Jean Garke went over the position of statewide office candidates on ERA. Both Henry Howell and Andrew Miller, Democratic candidates for Governor, support ERA, as do all of the Democrats running for Lt. Governor, said Garke. With the exception of Ed Lane, all Democratic candidates for Attorney General also favor the legislation. In the Republican camp, Clarke said that John Dalton and both Lt. Governor candidates oppose ERA while both candidates for Attorney General have stated they support the amendment. The Equal Rights Amendment is a result of women's drive towards equal rights—and responsibilities, emphasized Jensen. She added that it’s passage was not going to take anything away from men. “Men will benefit...They’re not going to be stuck in the same old roles either,’’ she concluded. Church Notice Reverend Aubrey Jackson of Little Forrest Baptist Church will be preaching for the annual Men’s and Women’s Day at Macedonia Baptist Church, Flint Hill at 3 o’clock.

Homes will be in the $75,000 to $80,000 bracket, Goode replied. He explained that he personally would inspect and approve plans for all lots. “There will be restrictions...! plan on building in there myself," he added. “How many county residents will be able to afford to live in Goode’s development?” asked Harris. “That’s none of your business, to a certain extent,” replied Goode. “It is my business and the business of this Commission,” countered Harris. 25-Acre Lota Criticized Goode defended his subdivision plans and criticized 25-acre lot developments approved by the county in the past. People moving into Rappahannock and buying 25-acre lots “will run out all the young people in the county. They won’t be able to afford to live here.” His remarks sparked cries of “Amen, Amen” and applause from the audience. “If I want to keep the county beautified, I will have to build nice homes,” Goode concluded. Moderate Growth Plan Speaking in favor of the rezoning, Peggy Clark stated that she thought it would be “terrific” for the county to have some industry that an increased population would bring. “We can’t remain no growth...It’s just not RLEP that’s represented in this county.” The county needs a moderate growth plan, stated Miriam Harris. “We don’t have one now...What we’re considering is going to force growth here that nobody wants.” Becky Burke, speaking in favor of the subdivision proposal, suggested that Goode make his lot size even smaller so that county residents could afford to live in his development. “My generation is becoming extinct in Rappahannock,” she said. “We need a place to live.” E. J. Welch wanted to know where RLEP took the survey mentioned by Phil Irwin that indicated the majority of Rappahannock residents wanted the county to stay the way it is. “They didn’t come around to our neck of the woods,” he said.. Irwin answered that the U. S. Department of Agriculture had surveyed ten per cent of the land owners in Rappahannock and approximately 70 per cent of those questioned had felt the county should make no changes. “Where'd he make his living?” asked Welch, in reference to Irwin. Moderate Housing Needs Some type of moderate priced housing is needed in the county, “especially for teachers,” maintained Aline Johnson. “Is $75,000 moderate housing?” asked Wesley Harris. Only 14 Lots \ Goode’s attorney responded that his client’s proposal involved only 14 lots on 77 acres of land located two-tenths of a mile from the village of Flint Hill. He maintained that the tax dollars brought in by the development will far outweigh any expenses to the county. Direction Provided By Plan “Growth is not planned if it doesn’t proceed in accordance with goals on timing, location and type of development,” Marshall continued. “This kind of direction is provided in a comprehensive plan,” he said, adding that Rappahannock residents had not met to discuss these goals. The true tax rate in Prince William is $1.03 per $100 while Rappahannock’s is 24 cents per $100, he reported. Per capita government costs there are three times higher than those in Rappahannock, gross county debt five times higher and capital outlay 60 times higher. “If you would like this county to become like Prince William, I have three modest proposals,” said Marshall. “Approve this subdivision quickly, approve others of this type to come up...and continue to operate and make decisions regarding the use of land without a comprehensive plan, in the absence of objectives.” $30,000 In Service* "This subdivision packs a potential demand for services in excess of $30,000 a year,” said Phil Irwin. Ramona Neal told the Planners that they had been given a “sacred trust” in their reponsibility to guide county growth. She noted that the Rappahannock’s “social stability” attracted outsiders who were tired of the “rootlessness of suburban living.” She added that she could understand why county residents felt “threatened” by Goode’s subdivision plans since he was an outside builder building for outside people.

Keim noted that this could give support to any charges by Goode that the county was acting arbitrarily in denying his proposals. Alter Chairman Barksdale closed the public hearing, most of the audience left the courtroom, missing comments from the Planners and the vote on the rezoning application. “We heard a lot of stuff here tonight and it boiled down to a comprehensive plan,” said Planner Pete Luke. ‘‘In the past, the county has approved subdivisions wherever they came in, as long as ordinance requirements were met,” he said. “Over 13,000 acres of farm land have been lost and nobody raised a word...no one came to the Supervisors and said you’d better not approve that subdivision.. Farmland has been going out of existence and we don’t have control over it.” Subdivision Meets Requirements “This subdivision meets the requirements of the county set forth in the ordinance," Luke continued. “The man has been led to believe that he’s done everything we told him to do to meet residential subFor Dad PEN KNIVES s $13.00 I BILL'S SPORTING GOODS 210 East Main St. Front Royal, Va.

My vote is in favor of the subdivision and for those reasons.” “It makes us look awfully derelict that we haven’t adopted a comprehensive plan,” said Planner Newbill Miller. “I for one have never seen a comprehensive plan that wasn’t a plan for development. Rezoning For Betterment? Planner Dave Fannon stated that 90 per cent of what had been said at the public hearing was immaterial. “The philosophy of our ordinances is restrictive growth, slow growth and I think it’s worked,” said Miller. Luke’s motion to recommend approval of the rezoning was defeated, five votes to one. A substitute motion to recommend denial to the Supervisors passed with only Luke opposed.
