Well, they have made $1500 in two fund raising activities - the benefit polo game and from selling refreshments at the 4th of July celebration in Washington. The adults said if the children proved they would work for a track, the adults would help them but so far only $150 in contributions have been received. TRACK GOAL for clearing and grading $5,000 $1,000 The Rappahannock County High School track team would like to challenge the citizens of Rappahannock County to match each dollar they raise. $5000 is needed to clear and grade a training area for the track team. "The team members have clearly demonstrated their ability to work for what they want now let’s show them the citizens of Rappahannock support them,” said a booster club fan. “Send your contributions today to Panther Athletic League in care of Ned Johnson, Box 211, Sperryville, Va. 22740 and be a P.A.L.” COTTON CANDY IS A MUST for youngsters during the holiday celebration. GIVING A DELIGHTFUL performance as members of the Rappahannock Country Dancers are Nancy Secrist and Henry Hudson in the ribbon dance. At right is Alice Chrisman. More pictures, page 5. Crime Evidence Collection Vehicles In Use Three crime scene search and evidence collection vehicles, purchased at a total cost of $67,244 and partially funded by a federal grant in the amount of $54,000 made available through the State’s Division of Justice and Crime Prevention, were put into service today by the Department of State Police. Colonel D. M. Slane said, in making the announcement, that the vehicles are designed to improve the Department’s capability of arriving on the scene of every major crime in which State Police assistance is requested and with all the necessary equipment and trained personnel to identify, collect, process and preserve evidence. "The use of these mobile crime laboratories will undoubtedly make a significant contribution to the Department’s investigative capabilities,” said Colonel Slane. “They will ensure a more thorough and scientific search as well as improve the preservation of all physical evidence at the scene of a crime.” The vehicles, built to Department specifications by Sirchie Fingerprint Laboratories Inc., of Raleigh, North Carolina, are assigned to the Division of Investigation which was created by the 1974 General Assembly and established within the Department July 1 of that year. During 1976, the Division of Investigation conducted 4,085 criminal investigations. Thirty-four per cent were at the request for assistance by local law enforcement authorities throughout the Commonwealth. Division Captain H. V. Boone noted INVESTIGATORS W. P. SCHULTZE, left, and F. H. Lesley, Jr., both graduates of the Bureau of Forensic Science Academy, check one of numerous kits contained in the three crime scene search and evidence collection vehicles put into service by the Department of State Police. ' t that the vans would be located at the Department’s offices in Wytheville, Appomattox and Richmond and would provide for a reasonable response time to crimes committed in any location of the State. The mobile crime laboratories, painted blue and gray, will be the first utilized by the State Police and similar to those now being used by several local police departments in the state. Captain Boone said, however, that the State Police vehicles had been specifically equipped with tandem rear wheels to increase road maneuverability, particularly in rural areas, and that each vehicle would be operated by a two-man team consisting of graduates of the Bureau of Forensic Science Academy. The interior configuration of each vehicle is direct walkthrough access from cab to laboratory area with steel insulated paneling, custom made aluminum cabinets, dome lights, dash mounted console and evidence examination tables. The vans also have sidemounted spot lights, internal and external electrical receptacles, sink, refrigerator, water reservoir and a complete compliment of crime scene search equipment including special lighting accessories. Investigative equipment in the laboratory is extensive and includes: evidence vacuum sweeper kits, latent fingerprint search kit, chemical latent fingerprint kit, latent blood detection kit, plaster casting kit, blood recovery kit. Also, metal detection kit, neutron activation analysis kit, narcotic analysis kit, number restoration kit, ultraviolet kit, post mortem fingerprint kit, antiputrification mask kits, photographic equipment, and a combination land and underwater metal detector. New Methodist Minister Is Miss Vickie Pittard By DAPHNE McCULLOUGH Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The increasing number of women in Rappahannock who hold positions of responsibility traditionally dominated by males has grown by one more. Vickie Pittard, the new Methodist minister, joins a vanguard of lady laywers, blacksmiths, veterinarians and county court clerks in the assault on jobs usually reserved for men. Ministering to the Methodist congregations in Flint Hill, Sperryville, Washington and Huntly is Miss Pittard’s first full-time appointment. She previously served an Arlington church on a part-time basis while continuing her seminary studies. When the time came for a permanent assignment from the Bishop, Miss Pittard said she expressed a preference for a rural uiuu.il— vjii my uwh, icunci than as an associate. This is what they came up with and I’m real happy with it. Everyone I’ve met has been friendly, warm and helpful.” The new minister is a graduate of Greensboro College in Greensboro, N. C. and is continuing her seminary training at Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington, D. C. Until she finishes there, she will remain an ordained Deacon. Full ordination as an Elder in the Methodist ministry requires that seminary training be completed. “I have to finish two more courses and my thesis,” she explained. The Methodist Church in Virginia has a significant number of female Deacons and Elders, said Miss Pittard, adding that she hasn’t faced any prejudice against women ministers. For those who quote the Bible’s admonition, “Let the women be silent in church,” she has a ready answer. “People take that out of context. It refers to idle gossip during services” and applies to both women and men, she noted. Nor has Miss Pittard, who is 24 years old and single, run into problems with would-be matchmakers among her congregation. “I have a personal code of ethics. I do not date members of my congregation,” she stated emphatically. Marriage doesn’t figure into any of her immediate plans but she didn’t rule it out for the future. “I just have to wait and see. . .I’m only 24 and that’s too young to worry about it.” She plans to expand visitation work in the parish. “I think it’s very important for a minister to visit with people in their homes. It’s also my intention to see those in the hospital every other day if possible.” She has also resumed iciac an Having uinuicii active part in worship services. “I think the reaction has been fairly good,” she added. Miss Pittard said she sits with the children in the congregation and talks with them for about five minutes at their level, either explaining the theme of the sermon to come, telling a story, conducting a question and answer game or singing a special song. During a recent talk to the youngsters on the springtime rebirth of life, she passed out flower seeds to her youthful congregation. The children took the seeds home and planted them. Later, they will bring the flowers back to church and use them in an altar arrangement. "I want to involve children in the worship services,” she stressed. Miss Pittard said she is looking forward to working with her new Rappahannock parishoners. “People have time for people here. I’m glad to see that.” Park Policy Is Fight Fires Fire control policy in Shenandoah National Park is to fight all fires, even in areas designated as Wilderness, according to Assistant Park Superintendent Bill Loftis. In discussion at the close of the June meeting of the Rappahannock Planning Commission, the Planners appeared confused over what the attitude of Park authorities would be towards fire outbreak in Wilderness Areas. They expressed concern that fires would be allowed to take their natural course and might rage out of control, especially under current drought conditions. In a telephone interview, Loftis said that Park officials are considering a "hands off' approach towards fire control in Wilderness Areas but stressed that the policy was only under consideration for the future and had not been implemented yet. He added that he didn't expect current policy to change anytime soon. “We’d first have to do a lot of research, get public input, hold hearings and adopt a resource management plan” before any action was taken to change the existing practice of fighting Park fires where and when they occur," said Loftis. Mountain Fire Bums About An Acre A check Tuesday afternoon of a fire which smoldered along the mountain ridge near Chester Gap the previous day indicated that everything was "ok”, according to Forest Warden Tippy Jenkins. "About an acre and a quarter was burned by a slow fire which smoldered along the ridge on the Patrick Carrigan property north of Huntly,” said Jenkins. “In spite of the parched conditions in the area, the fire did not burn freely,” said the warden, who added, “It was very difficult to get to and all up-grade, so that volunteers on foot were fatigued by the climb and the extremely hot weather." “Apparently the heavy leaf cover prevented rapid burning, and kept it just smoldering,” he said. The Fire Warden surmised that a hiker or someone looking for gensing might have started the fire. Though the area was dense in places it was not too far from an old logging trail. He could see no signs of lightning having caused it, he said. Fire units from Chester Gap, Flint Hill and Front Royal responded after being alerted by area resident. However the fire was inaccessible by fire trucks so 4wheel drive vehicles were used as far as they would go, then firemen and other volunteers hiked the remainder of the distance. i VICKIE PITTARD, the county’s new Methodist minister, conducted her first service at the Flint Hill Church on June 26. Town Water Supply Critical The water supply of the town of Washington is rapidly diminishing. The reservoir level dropped five feet during the holiday weekend. The clients of the Washington Water System are not only requested to conserve water but are notified that excessive useage will ultimately require rationing. Flowers are beautiful but they will nm help to Hush a toilet bowl. “The town engineer and officials are genuinely concerned about the low water and continuing dry conditions, .and seek the cooperation the watei system substSriflers,'’ said Mrs. Virginia Miller, treasurer. ‘Happy Hour’ Ads Banned Several changes in Virginia’s alcoholic beverage control laws took effect Friday. Licensees are prohibited from advertising ‘‘Happy Hour” in newspaper and magazines and on radio or television. ‘‘High test” beer- may be sold statewide. Persons previously limited to 3.2 beverage licenses because of past local option elections now may apply to obtain regular beer licenses. Outside terraces or patios now may be classified as ‘‘designated rooms” for serving mixed beverages. The advertising regulations were amended to permit adult-sized items of wearing apparel advertising beer to be sold. The sale of such wearing apparel and of novelty and specialty items bearing alcoholic beverage advertising which would be suggestive of athletic prowess, tending to induce minors to drink or containing any indecent statement or depiction, will be prohibited. Persons operating food concessions at Cfoliseums, stadiums, or similar facilities, that are licensed to sell beer for on-premise consumption during professional sporting events, will be allowed to sell to persons at concession areas and all seating areas as well as additional locations designated by the Com mission. Alcoholic beverages will be allowed to be served in licensed private clubs when there is a public bingo game or raffle in progress, provided that alcoholic beverages are not served in the room where these activities are being conducted and are served only to members or bona fide guests of members of the club.

Americans Taking It Lying Down As Hammock Trade Swines Hieher By ROBERT C. R ADCLIFFE National Geographic Newt Washington — In the history of get-up-and-go achievers, Europe may have invented the wheel, but the New World invented the hammock. Wheels have long since rolled the world around, but now rope hammocks are also stretching toward new horizons. According to a survey by the National Geographic Society, about 100,000 are expected to be sold through 1977 in the biggest year yet of the $5million American business. Christopher Columbus and his men were the first Europeans to see a hammock when they landed in the Caribbean islands and walked in on a camp of Arawak Indians taking their ease in “hamacas,” as the local word hit the sailors’ ears. Church Notice The Mt. Lebanon Baptist Church invites you to join them in their revival services July 10-15 at 7:30 p.m. Revival speaker will be the Rev. Albert Elam, pastor of the First Baptist Church, Smiley, Texas. Rev. Elam has pastored in and around the Austin, Texas, area for over 40 years. Everyone is welcome to attend. Services will be held at Piedmont Regular Baptist Church near Sperryville each Sunday morning at 11:00. The Rev. Paul Bodson of Richardsville is the pastor. F=- r. “Loafing Loaers” As it turns out, the Arawaks may have been too prone to take life lying down because in years to come they were overrun and slaughtered by island-hopping invaders from South America, the fierce Carib Indians. It may have been the hammock-loving Arawaks that James Thurber had in mind when he wrote: “It’s better to have loafed and lost than never to have loafed at all.” Europeans soon learned what the Indian inventors had known all the time: Hammocks, with their loose fishnet weave, were ideal for a cool, breezy rest in the tropics, afloat or ashore. Not only that, but they were highly portable. And when it came time for a snooze, all you had to do was unroll it, find two somethings high enough and far enough apart to tie the hammock to, and climb in. Revival Gid Brown Bible Church will hold revival services July 11-16 at 7:30 each evening. The speaker will be Joe Bolden, West Virginia State Policeman, who is from Hinton, W. Va. The public is invited. Revival services will begin at F. T. Baptist Church Sunday, July 10 and continue Tuesday through Thursday at 8:00 each evening. The Rev. Sydney Rodriguez of New Salem Baptist Church will be the speaker. 1 Belle Boyd Restaurant CATERING yes! MIXED DRINKS AND BEER yes! Front Royal, Va. 635-6556 By the time Britannia and the Royal Navy were ruling the waves, Lord Nelson’s men had hammock-racking down to a science. Each tar was allowed 14 inches of width for his hammock, now made of tough canvas to survive life on a man-o-war. Space below decks was cramped, but rank still had its privilege: Petty officers got a full two feet. Ocean Motion Traditionally, a sailor carried his hammock with him, tightly rolled around his sea bag. And, in the days of sail, he might be sewed into it for burial at sea with a cannonball for ballast. It took World War II for the U. S. Navy to give up the hammock for the bunk bed on shipboard. Old hands were sorry to see it go, for the hanging canvas hammock tamed the ocean motion of a rolling ship as no steel rack ever could. On land, the hammock's heyday began in the Gay Nineties with lazy summer afternoons, moonlit verandas, lemonade, and mandolins. Its popularity began to sag with increasing use of air conditioning and the invention of foldup, finger-pinching, porch and lawn furniture. Now the hammock is “in" again, not only with a certain nostalgic appeal outdoors, but hung in rec rooms and modern living rooms. One family proudly sports a circular trampoline-like hammock where the coffee table used to be in front of the living room fireplace, and one ultimate hammockphile has spanned his backyard with a family-size version measuring 14 by 40 feet. ™ ™ “Fawcett* Motor Company Your Complete Automotive Store for LINCOLN MERCURY & AMC JEEP • SALES • SERVICE • PARTS FAWCETT MOTOR CO Across from Howard Johnson Dealer No 7612 Corner Rt. 29-211 Warrenton 347-4800 u*'4' ^ '9S, l* 'H Sock-Mop 1,5 * ^ I v^u*v & A* CortC Aft You.

THURSDAY, JULY 7,1977 Poor Sports It is unfortunate that poor sportsmanship, the bane of little League everywhere, has turned up in Rappahannock County. The Rappahannock Athletic Association’s baseball program is only a few weeks old and already, umpires are getting the same abuse and arguments that fall on officials in more competitive contests elsewhere. Kids on the sidelines have joined in to follow the adult lead, tossing taunts instead of balls at the players. There’s no place for this kind of foolishness in a program whose primary purpose is to give children something constructive to do with their time while learning the basics of a sport. Summer baseball is the newly formed Athletic Association’s first project. In an effort to avoid regional rivalry, the organizers choose—wisely, we think—to form teams representing the county as a whole rather than specific areas. There are not nine players on a team from Sperryville, Washington or Flint Hill but nine players on teams from Rappahannock. However, efforts to keep competition low keyed have been only partially successful. Mutterings and criticism have steadily increased and most of it is from the sidelines, not the bench or the playing field. It’s unrealistic to expect kids and their parents and friends not to care who wins or loses. However, it is important to emphasize that the adults in the program are not paid for their time or efforts. Umpires and coaches are all volunteers and while coaches earn the respect and affection of their charges, no one loves an umpire. They have a particularly difficult job. No matter what the decision, there’s sure to be disagreement. Obviously, umpires are not infallible. They may make an occasional mistake but calls have a way of balancing out evenly over the course of a game and any mistakes are honest errors. It’s absolutely inconceivable that it would be otherwise and fans who think—and voice opinions—that the officials are deliberately favoring one team over another ought to stop, think a minute and be realistic. The Rappahannock Athletic Association is not the big leagues where millions of dollars in salaries, bets and endorsements hinge on calls made by expert—and well paid—officials. The men behind the pitcher’s mound at the elementary school fields are people from the community who care enough to see that kids in the community have a place to go and something constructive to do to fill the long summer days. The very least these umpires and coaches deserve is cooperation from spectators in keeping team rivalry friendly. And while we’re dishing out criticism for poor manners, we’d like to award a large measure to the spectators at the 4th of July fireworks display in Washington who shot off bottle rockets and other fire crackers during the program. Again, this showed an embarrassing lack of appreciation towards the volunteer efforts of Mr. and Mrs. Carrigan, the folk dancers and the Potowmack Ancients fife and drum corps. The New Pioneers: Solar Home Heating Architects If you want a place in the sun, housebuilders and architects are getting ready to put you there. The day has arrived for the sun-powered house—no longer unthinkably expensive, due to rising gas and oil prices; no longer a dream of far-out designers, thanks to new building materials and ideas; no longer with only kiss-off encouragement from officialdom. There are 2,000 to 5,000 solar-heated houses in the United States today. President Carter, outlining his energy policy, hopes there will be 2.5 million by 1985. If there are, Americans will be well along in relearning a lot of living styles, from those of Colonial barnbuilders to Indian cliff dwellers, long forgotten during the century of relatively cheap heating fuels, the National Geographic Society says. 8 Million Solar Home* And changes could come if architects, builders, developers, and homeowners, go for the idea of solar energy. According to the research chief of the American Institute of Architects, there are 65 million dwelling units in the United States right look, especially the steep, glassy roof supporting the solar energy collectors. They take pride in owning the first solar house in their neighborhood, or delight in the way their traditional house sometimes can be adapted to solar heating without badly distorting the original design. Young architects are graduating as pioneers in new solar energy courses. Veteran designers are researching new methods or boning up on what may have been largely theory when they were students. Heating contractors and house builders are attending now. And there could be 80 million by 1990, with at least 10 per cent of them solar houses. Attitudes are changing toward solar-heated houses. Homeowners are slowly getting used to their different conferences and going to night school to learn about new materials and to study building methods for sunpowered houses. Do-ityourselfers’ books and magazine articles on sun power abound. Something For Nothing Sunshine is free and Goat Show At Luray A different kind of goat show will be sponsored July 9 by a group of goat breeders at Page County Fairgrounds, Luray. Instead of contending for prizes, entrants will receive instruction from American Dairy Goat Association judge William Maxwell on how to show their animals to best advantage. Maxwell will be assisted by Laura Smith, an experienced and successful exhibitor of goats, who is active with the Capital Dairy Goat Association of Washington. Further information and entry forms for the show may be obtained from Jeremy Freeman, show secretary, Box 222, Flint Hill, Va. 22627, telephone 675-3727. inexhaustible, giving solar energy a something for nothing appeal. However, though solar heating may be the cheapest way of warming houses by 1980, according to one expert, a sun-heating system could cost as much as S10.000 today. Most still say it is not practical to try to heat the house with solar energy alone; it has to be backed up—if sometimes only a little—with an oil, gas, electric, or coal furnace. But a few years ago solar heating was widely considered completely uneconomical, at best an expensive novelty. Workable solar heating relies on relearning old principles: Keep your house backed into the wind, like the long, sloping, north-facing roof 01 the Cape Cod house in Colonial days. Get your house behind something for protection, like canyon dwellings backed against a cliff, or like 19thcentury bank barns half buried into hills on the north side. Or learn a lesson from igloos, rounded and offering the least possible outside wall surface to bad weather. Button up the house snugly. Use insulated glass, tightly fitting doors, extra insulation. Try to get along without windy-side windows, but offer something like a greenhouse wall to the sunny south. Our Rappahannock Heritage Letters To The Editor School Board Criticized To the editor: How disappointed I was to read the article entitled “Politics To Be Basis For Hiring?” in the June 23 issue of the Rappahannock News. The issue at hand seems to be whether or not to allow some very conservativeoriented school board members to assert theif.Qt^r biases in hiring mmistrators and teachers. 1 feel that board'ihemBfcfs have no right personally to screen each applicant for his-her “interests, hobbies, and membership in clubs or civic organizations.” How irrelevant! Are these board members interested in hiring good teachers, dedicated to their profession (whatever their own personal interests, hobbies, etc.), or are they more interested in hiring the epitomy of the “conservative, middle-class citizen”? I am not advocating hiring political radicals (whether they be members of the KKK or of the SLA or of other extremist groups). Rather, I trust the superintendent’s judgment in being able to perceive if a person’s political orientation is too radical (either conservatively or liberally) to enable him-her to be an effective worker in this school system. < Certainly, • , enough about a pefspa’s character (or political afilifations, as some on the Board emphasize) can be ascertained by a personal interview with the administrative officials, without individual Board members having to conduct their own investigations into an applicant’s private life. What concerns me so much is that “openmindedness” towards issues is not a general practice of several board members. And this “narrow-mindedness” sways the vote many times and determines to a large extent the kind of school system we have in this county. I would like to see some progressive things happening in our county schools. Indeed, the sun does peak from behind the clouds at rare moments. But the classroom scene, generally speaking, is a decade or two behind. Progress, to a large extent, is dependent on that important decision-making body—the School Board. It’s high time for some changes around here. And the first change needed is that school board members be elected by popular vote. Perhaps then we, the people, could replace some Board members with those who are sincerely interested in education, not just nambypamby politics. DISAPPOINTED (name withheld) Nesting Boxes May Mean Hope For Bluebirds By DONALD J. FREDERICK National Geographic New* Washington—The tuneful bluebird once again includes a song of hope in its repertoire. Warbling a cheerful melody hasn’t been easy for the fabled bearer of happiness. Once fluttering close to extinction, the birds are staging a comeback thanks to a series of nesting box trails in the United States and Canada. “The eastern bluebird —now so scarce that most people under 30 have never seen otie—surely is one of the loveliest and most appealing of North American birds,” writes Dr. Lawrence Zeleny in the June National Geographic. "Its extinction remains a real possibility, but a determined rescue campaign has been mounted in the United States and Canada.” Numbers Have Dropped Since retirement in 1966 as an agricultural biochemist, Dr. Zeleny has devoted all his efforts to the nationwide effort to save the bluebird. During the past forty years, the numbers of the eastern bluebird (Sialia sialis) may have plummeted as much as 90 per cent. The mountain bluebird in the Rocky Mountain region and the western bluebird have suffered less, but gradually they are succumbing to the same pressures. Two rival birds, the starling and the house sparrow, have contributed to the catastrophe. These aggressive interlopers like to nest -in the same natural or man-made enclosures required by the mildermannered bluebirds. People, too, have sped the decline. In city and countryside; dead trees with cavities; that once provided bluebird nesting sites have been cqt down and hauled away. ■ Old tvooden posts where bluebirds once found cozy hollows have been replaced by metal posts. Unable to find suitable places to raise their young, bluebirds face disaster. Saved by Nesting Boxes Conservationists and bird lovers have fostered a modest comeback by building trails of nesting boxes for bluebirds. A trail may consist of any number of nesting boxes, usually placed a hundred yards or more apart. The generous spacing prevents fighting among the highly territorial birds. Says Dr. Zeleny: “The 85 boxes of our Beltsville, Maryland, bluebird trail have yielded hundreds of healthy fledglings, dramatic evidence that the most practical way to help these azure-and-russet songsters is to supply them abundantly with nesting boxes.” In the United States most bluebird trails lie east of the Mississippi River. Canada boosts the world’s longest bluebird trail. By GEORGE BOWLES In the days immediately following the Democratic primary, political observers in the Old Dominion pondered an oh- ____ vious problem facing the Democrats. That problem: How on earth could aticket composed of populist Henry tl-11_1 erate-conser- BOWLES vative Charles Robb and ultra-conservative Edward E. Lane work together as a mutually supportive team? The Democrats came up with a reasonably practical answer. The three candidates would pay decent lip-service to the support of their ticketmates but would go their own way and conduct “autonomous” campaigns. The philosophical distance between them was too great for any other approach to be credible. What was not quite so obvious is that the primary results presented the Republicans with a similar problem. In their case, however, the distance is not one of political philosophy, but of tactical requirements. The fact is that the kind of Sheep Raid Garden To the editor: I am disgusted! Just thoroughly disgusted! I have a small place in Amissville with a good garden started when the drought came along. So I water the garden as much as one can on the weekend. I can deal with the drought and the groundhogs but there is something I can’t deal with nor will I tolerate it. “LIVESTOCK” eating MY GARDEN. Yes, someone’s livestock trespass on my property and ate almost everything. Cabbage gone down to the stem, peppers leaves gone, all yellow and white onions topped, red onions gone, onions left on the ground to rot. all cucumber hills eone and even ate some of the potato plants which were not going too well because we could not water them. It looks like SHEEP because they left their telltale signs behind, but I don’t know who has sheep and who doesn’t. What do we do now? Fence the garden in, WHY, it is my land, my property, why should I go to the expense and fence when the owner of the livestock should fence and keep a close eye on the fence so things like this will not happen. How do people who depend on the garden for their food for the winter cope with this sort of problem. Last winter, the sheep grazed upon our land because we had sheep droppings in the front of the house, no one said anything. Also, my BING CHERRY TREE was broke in half, again nothing was said. Certainly, the owner of the livestock must know what has happened and we keep hoping to hear from him with an apology or I guess we are expecting too much. But, nevertheless, if I see livestock on my property at anytime, I will not be responsible for them or what happens to them! Please feed your livestock or sell them, but don’t feed on my garden, try YOUR OWN GARDEN FOR A CHANGE. SUZANNE BARRON campaign required‘for GOP governor candidate John Dalton to defeat Howell is very different from the kind GOP lieutenant-governor candidate Joe Canada must mount to defeat Robb, and vastly different from that GOP attorney general candidate Marshall Coleman must use if he hopes to best Lane. It is here that the great philosophical span of the Democratic ticket becomes a palpable Republican liability. As the tickets shape up, Dalton stands well to the right of Howell, Canada and Robb probably occupy about the same moderate conservative ground, while Coleman stands markedly to the left of Lane. No Right of Lane Thus Dalton’s problem. As the candidate for governor, he can blaze away at Howell as a liberal, but it would make no sense whatever for the Republican ticket to take this general line of attack against the Democratic ticket. Whether Robb or Canada is the more conservative is a highly debatable question. But there is no way for Coleman to get to the right of Lane. There is simply no ground to stand on out there. Thus the Republicans may find that their campaigns against their respective opponents may have to be fully as “autonomous” as those of the Democrats. There are also other tactical considerations involved, at least from Dalton’s standpoint. The Republican candidate for governor would, of course, never admit it, but for him to defeat Howell he must have the votes of thousands of conservative Democrats and Independents who now plan to vote for Lane. If Dalton, or the Republican ticket, would make blunderbuss charges which attempt to link Lane with the “Democrat liberals,” many Lane supporters might have grave second thoughts about voting a -split ticket. Dalton -may* ' thus be expected" to” handle"* Lane gently, indeed. There is another factor which will almost certainly enter into this interesting if somewhat esoteric mix of things. since most ot the Virginians who have been voting Republican of late are really independents (or consider themselves dispossessed Democrats) they might find a combination of Dalton, Robb and Lane much to their liking. See Them Done In Not only that, but there are said to be dark mutterings in certain Republican circles that some of the party’s top brass would not be all that unhappy to see Canada and Coleman done in. It will be remembered that they frustrated the will of the GOP high command at the state Republican Convention at Roanoke by snatching their nominations away from lieutenant governor candidate Walter Craigie and attorney general candidate Wyatt Durette who supposedly had the GOP leadership’s nod. Thus, for both the Republican and Democratic tickets in the campaign ahead, the not-so-stirring battlecry may be, “Every man for himself!” -t—i—(—tThe world has no room for cowards. We must all be ready somehow to toil, to suffer, to die. And yours is not the less noble because no drum beats before you when you go out into your duly battlefields, and no crowds shout your coming when you return from your daily victory or defeat.

Schultze, K. E. Andrews, Jr. and L. A. Floyd. Turquoise Test Discovered Washington—Science has put the bite to a notorious wooden nickel—fake turquoise jewelry. An Arizona analytical chemist has iearned how to fingerprint turquoise, determining whether a stone is natural, doctored up, or an outright fake. His technique of reading stones’ makeup has proven what police, gem dealers, and jewelry makers long have known: An awful lot of those turquoise rings, bracelets, and necklaces being sold during the ongoing boom in American Indian jewelry are not what they seem. They are low-grade stones dyed and treated to look like good turquoise, or tiny chips of turquoise glued together and polished to appear to be a single gem, or made-inHong Kong glass. Half are Fakes Mines in five states produce most of the greenishblue stones in America— Arizona, California, Colorado, California, Colorado, Nevada, and New Mexico, .the NatiQnal Geographic Society says. Almost all is made into Indian jewelry, a growing business of $750 million a year in New Mexico alone. Dr. Michael Parsons of Arizona State University at Tempe says about half of the hundreds of stones he has analyzed are not turquoise at all, but look-alikes of little value or clever or crude imitations. Of stones that are genuine, only 3 to 5 percent are “natural gem grade” turquoise, about the same percentage found in mining. Turquoise is a hydrous phosphate of aluminum and copper, formed through the eons by water seeping through rock. It’s usually found in arid regions, seldom in mines deeper than 100 feet. We call the semiprecious gem turquoise thanks to the French who, among others, thought it came from Turkey. But the trade routes led farther East, to mines in Persia.

In the New World, prehistoric Indians used turquoise for pendants, beads, mosaics, and carved figures. The “Sky Stone” One Indian legend credits a mythical mountain of turquoise with radiating blue color to the sky. However, natural “sky stones’’ are dull looking, waxy in luster, and may be soft and breakable. Body oil and excessive soap mav arid an unwanted orppn to the blue stone. The amount of greenness a stone takes on, contrary to an old Indian story, does not indicate the degree of a spouse’s unfaithfulness. Nature’s shortcomings have not stopped man from “improving” stones—and their value—deepening the color, and adding luster and hardness, with mutton tallow, butter, ear wax, Prussian blue dye, or liquid plastics. Such stablized turquoise can make, beautiful jewelry. But selling it as natural, untreated turquoise is against federal law and the statutes of at least nine states, with violators subject to $5,000 fines. In his pioneering analysis technique, Parsons aims a powerful electron beam at the stone, stirring up radiation which is then read and analyzed with help from a computer. Since every stone’s chemical makeup is slightly different, identities are as individual as fingerprints. Certificates with “fingerprint” descriptions already are helping police, museum directors, gem dealers, and customers to detect fraudulent and stolen turquoise. ++++ Life is the only real counsellor; wisdom filtered through personal experience becomes a part of the moral tissue.—Edith Wharton Physical Fitness Boom Brings Back Jump Rope Jumping rope, once a children’s game confined to playgrounds and sidewalks, has become fashionable. Nonsense rhymes of childhood have been replaced by wheezing gasps of exertion as Americans work to bring down their weight and build up their stamina by skipping rope, the National Geographic Society says. Until the current physical fitness campaign, virtually the only adults with jump ropes were prizefighters, for whom the exercise is as traditional as a cauliflower ear. Everybody’s Trying It • Now it seems as though i everyone from actresses and airline pilots to welders and I truck drivers is hopping inside a whirling loop as jump ropes move from gyms to back yards and basements—wherever there’s enough room to avoid snagging the furniture. Trainers long have known that jumping rope regularly can increase a boxer’s endurance. Today, basketball stars, tennis players, and other athletes are taking up the activity to keep in condition. Jumping rope is touted as a way to improve coordination, burn off some excess calories, replace fat with muscle, and strengthen | the cardiovascular system, j But doctors warn it can put I undue stress upon the heart if overdone. It also can cause aching shins, sore joints, and backaches—unless the jumper wears soft-soled shoes, bends the knees, and jumps just high enough to clear the rope. Model* Getting Fancier But as jumping rope has become popular, manufacturers have rushed into the market with fancier ropes. A purloined length of clothesline or a piece of No. 10 window sash cord no longer suffices. Cultural Arts Exhibit A Cultural Arts exhibit was held last Wednesday by members of the Rappahannock Homemakers Clubs.
