Rappahannock News, July 14, 1977

Aileen Plant Cleared The suspicion that an occupational health hazard was the cause of the hospitalization of several employees of a Culpeper dress manufacturing plant has been labeled unlikely by Virginia Health Department occupational health inspectors. On June 2,16 employees of Aileen, Inc. were taken to a Culpeper hospital with complaints of burning eyes, coughs, weakness of the extremities, nausea without vomiting and dizziness. Elements of hysteria were present. Four patients were admitted to the hospital overnight. Similar events occurred during the next several days. State occupational health authorities inspected the plant June 3 and June 14. The inspections revealed the absence of any known toxic substances in any quantity at the plant. The inspections included evaluation of the plant’s ventilation system and surrounding area for a possible source. None was found. Employees were interviewed by a team of public health epidemiologists and blood samples were taken. The results were negative. Extensive air samples taken while the plant was in operation on June 14 showed only traces of a transporting agent cominon in self* defense aerosol canisters. The agent is known chemically as 1,1,1-Trichlbtoethane. The substance is not used in the plant’s operation. Health authorities speculate its presence in the air samples were caused by the accidental or intentional release from a spray canister. “The chemical does not appear to be in any way associated with this plant’s operation,” said Dr. Robert S. Jackson, assistant state health commissioner and medical director of the occupational health program. Water Offered William Carrigan has announced that area residents may take water to use on their gardens from the pond located in front of Avon Hail, the Carrigan residence just outside of Washington. No prior arrangements are necessary. Anyone interested may just pick the water up. THE SUMMER SAGS attacked the candles at the Episcopal Church in Washington last week and left them pointing towards the floor. The Rappahannock Supervisors agreed to act on a request from County Extension agent Rap Owings and asked Virginia Governor Mills Godwin to declare the county a disaster area. The same day, Governor Godwin included Rappahannock along with 13 other Virginia counties in a request for disaster designation from President Carter. Godwin declared a state of emergency in Virginia because of the most severe drought in nearly half a century. Supervisor Chairman Pete Luke noted that area farmers had little or no carry over feed reserves after the hard winter. Current drought conditions have reduced this year’s first hay cuttings by SO per cent and expectations on a second cutting are almost nil, according to Luke. Farmers are having to reduce cow herds because of lack of feed to the extent that county agriculture will be adversely affected for years to come. Tom Eddins, county director of Agricultural Stabilization and Con servation Service, explained to the Supervisors that three types of assistance programs may become available to farmers if Rappahannock receives disaster designation. He said that farmers may receive help from federally funded programs that pay 80 per cent of transportation costs for out-of-state hay or emergency feed payments for 50 per cent of feed costs, not to exceed $40 per ton. “You can’t get both programs on the same load of hay,” he added. Eddins said that farmers will also become eligible for low interest loans from the Farmers Home Administration if the county is declared a disaster area. He added that it took approximately three weeks for any action to take place, basing his estimate on the time lapse last year between when Hanover County asked for disaster designation and when relief programs became effective. “The time element is important because the programs aren’t retroactive,” he said. Weather in Rappahannock County has not been this dry since 1930, according to former Extension agent Bill Lyne. Miss Ruby Jenkins reported that only 11.74 inches of precipitation have fallen during 1977, based on readings taken at her official weather station in Washington through Monday, July 11. “Three and a half to four inches per month has been our average in the past,” she reported. Miss Jenkins’s weather station registered 2.31 inches of rain on Sunday night. But amounts varied throughout the county. Reports ranged one-half inch in Gid Brown Hollow to six inches in the Flint Hill area with one and a half inches falling in Amissville and two inches on the F. T. Valley outside of Sperryville. Sunday’s rainfall will not measurably affect conditions in Rappahannock, said Extension Agent Rap Owings. “It doesn’t change the situation here. We’ve already been hurt.” DROUGHT DAMAGE in Rappahannock County to hay, pasture, barley and com was estimated at $1,893,000 on reports filled out Friday by county Soil Conservation director Tom Eddins and Soil Con* servation Service technician Johnny Green. Feed losses were figured at 75 per cent of the hay crop, 90 per cent ol barley, 70 per cent of corn and 40 per emit of wheat. Eddins said the forms also included disaster program requests. "We won’t know what well get for two weeks but we’re hoping for the best,’’ said Eddins. Davis Threatens Suit By daphne McCullough Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock Supervisors voted three to one to approve mileage reimbursements to the Sheriffs Department over the Objections of Commonwealth Attorney George Davis at last Thursday’s Board meeting. Davis reacted with a threat to sue both Sheriffs Department personnel and individual Supervisors to recover “improper payment” of mileage claims. As Clerk Ned Jones began his routine reading of accounts due at the close of the meeting, Davis asked if the Board members had seen his memorandum attached to the Sheriffs Department report — a memorandum charging that the mileage claims were improper and therefore, shouldn’t be paid. As required by the State Compensation Board, the reports say policing, not patrolling, noted Supervisor Chairman E. P. Luke. Davis indicated that this didn’t have any bearing on the legality of the claims. “As reported, I can see no way that the Board of Supervisors can legally pay them,” Davis maintained. Jones continued with his reports on the accounts due and at the close of his reading, Supervisor Butch Eastham moved that payment of accounts be authorized. “What does that consist of?” asked Davis. Bills and mileage for the Sheriff s Department, answered Luke. Mileage Payment Fought “I’m going to resist the payment of mileage,” Davis said. “What hat do you have on now... Counsel to the Board?” asked Luke, in reference to Davis’s dual role as legal advisor to the Board of Supervisors and as protector of the interests of county citizens in his capacity as Commonwealth Attorney. “1 don't have but one hat and you know that,” Davis responded and accused Luke of deliberately trying to mislead the public with his remarks. Luke told the Commonwealth Attorney that he preferred the Board not deal with the long standing controversy over mileage at Thursday’s meeting since Sheriff W. A. Buntin was on vacation and not present to defend his position in the issue. No Alternative “That’s too bad,” countered Davis. He warned the Supervisors that if they approved the mileage claims, he would have “no alternative but to bring legal action to recover improper payment from the recipient and individual Board members” who voted to approve payment. Eastham repeated his earlier motion to authorize payment and Supervisor Dick Latham seconded. “I’m not an attorney. I have to vote no if our legal advisor says it’s illegal and we might be subject to suit,” said Supervisor Clarence Baldwin. Supervisor H. B. Wood stated that he would abstain from the voting since he had not seen Davis’s reasons for considering the particular mileage claims improper. Luke noted that no reasons were included in Davis’s memorandum. Policing Not Proper The Commonwealth Attorney repeated assertions he has made at Supervisor meetings since the mileage controversy began last February. Davis claimed again that the Sheriff can patrol or police local businesses and homes only if the county adopts an ordinance agreeing to pay 100 per cent of mileage costs. Otherwise, the Sheriff and his deputies are enjoined from policing or patrolling businesses and residences unless a complaint has been received that a crime has been committed or is about to be committed at such location, according to Davis. In regard to Sheriff Buntin's current claim before the Board. Davis said “1 doubt very seriously if it will be reimbursed by the state” and predicted that payment would have to come entirely out of the county’s general fund. If the Supervisors authorize payment of the Sheriffs Department claim, “there’s nothing else I can do but go on and proceed under the statutes,” said Davis. Answer From Attorney General Luke reported that he had finally received an answer (Continued on Page 4) Supervisors Argue Again On Plan By daphne McCullough Rappahannock News Staff Writer C. D. Green appeared at last Thursday’s meeting of the Rappahannock Supervisors to protest against what he preceives as unnecessary delays in action on his proposal for a large-lot subdivision near Amissville. His complaints triggered another round of arguments in continuing dispute over whether the county has a comprehensive plan. Opinion remained split at the close of discussion although Planning Commission member Newbill Miller told the Supervisors that “we intend to have a comprehensive plan to present to you formally’’ before the state’s 1980 deadline. Green brought plats for his eight-lot development of lots 25 acres or larger to show the Supervisors and reported that, after several meetings with the Zoning Administrator, he had just been told the property would have to be rezoned. Supervisor Chairman Pete Luke affirmed that county ordinances required rezoning fronv> agriculture to residential for subdivisions over five lots. “We talked to the Administrator a number of times,” said Walter Robinson, Fauquier County Real estate agent representing Green. “We were first told that the subdivision could be administratively approved ... In the interim, he indicated that it (the subdivision) would require Planning Commission approval of preliminary and final plats . . . Then we were told that the property would have to be rezoned.” “We’re perfectly willing to work within the rules of the game,” Robinson continued, “but we need to know what the rules are.” “Have you read the zoning and subdivision ordinances?” asked Luke, adding that the two documents included all the requirements and steps in subdivision approval process. Robinson acknowledged that the developer had received copies of both but said that Green had specifically asked for information on action that was required from him and had met the requisite conditions, only to be apprised of new requirements. “We began this endeavor last September,” he added. If the Zoning Administrator had relayed information different than that included in the county’s zoning ordinance, “then he Rappahannock Lions Honored The Rappahannock Lions Club finished out the Lions year in June as the recipient of several prestigious awards, both regional and statewide. The Rappahannock Club won the state Achievement Award for activities conducted during the past year and the Outstanding Club Award in competition with 15 other clubs in Region Four. Two club officers were recognized for conspicuous achievement—Bill Racer with the President’s Award and Kermit Weakley with the Outstanding Secretary F ederal Drought Aid Sought Congressman J. Kenneth Robinson, characterizing drought conditions in the Shenandoah Valley and east of the Blue Ridge as among the most disastrous in his memory, said he has urged Secretary of Agriculture Bob Bergland to act expeditiously on Governor Godwin’s anticipated disaster certification request. Robinson noted that while the Secretary may approve some emergency assistance, such as loans to affected farmers, additional aid may be provided through a Presidential agricultural disaster certification, on recommendation of the Secretary. “The critical need is for cost-sharing assistance on livestock feed, particularly hay, as early haymaking was scanty, and current pasturage is nil,” Robinson informed Secretary Bergland by telegram; “distress sales of livestock are numerous." “In much of the 7th Congressional District, there simply is no com crop,” he added. m Earlier, Robinson had informed Governor Godwin that the situation was extremely serious in most of the area, and asked his early endorsement of disaster relief requests coming forward from county governing bodies. “The 4th of July recess of the Congress gave me opportunity to observe the pathetic situation firsthand in various parts of the 7th District, and it is clear that farmers are in the midst of an agricultural disaster of major proportions, with severe economic losses inevitable,” Robinson commented. He said Virginia Agriculture Commissioner S. Mason Carbaugh had assured him that his office had been busy developing data to support Governor Godwin’s request for federal aid. Robinson is a member of the House Agriculture Appropriations Subcommittee. Award.

Hours Spent Robinson responded that Green’s point is that hours have been spent in discussions with the Administrator and “we come back each time to bear a different interpretation.” “Tell us what to do—the whole thing—and then we’ll do it,” added Green. The next step is to get the application before the Planning Commission for rezoning consideration, said Supervisor Dick Latham. Both Luke and Planner Newbill Miller noted that Green’s proposal had not been submitted to the Commission to date. Luke stressed that the county currently lacked the financial resources to maintain a fulltime office to handle zoning and subdivision work. “Our staff is a one-day office, four days a month, he emphasized with the Planning Commission meeting once a month. Questions over procedure apparently resolved, Green indicated he would submit a rezoning application through the proper channels. Petition For Plan “Can we, as the Board of Supervisors, petition the Planning Commission to draw up a master plan” that designates areas for planned growth?” asked Supervisor (Continued on Page 4) Robinson Aide In County Rep.

Reminiscences Of A Time Long Past Yankees Invade Rappahannock By LAURIE MARSHALL Alyette Buckner has lived in Rappahannock County for all of his 91 years. He was one of the first orchardists to risk planting Macintosh apple trees baca in the early 1900’s and has served 32 years on the county Board of Supervisors. His father, who was a boy of 14 during the Civil War, told his son stories of what he saw and did when Rappahannock County had Yankee soldiers coming through at war with the Confederacy. Alyette Buckner has witten down these tales as his father told them, just as if his father was speaking. Laurie Marshall transcribed and edited Mr. Buckner’s writing which will be printed in a two-part series. Back in the days of the civil war the people were very much like those of today, very fond of excitement. I was then a boy nearing the age of 14 years. My birthday being the 13th of December and this happening between the 5th and 10th of December. Very often someone would come running down the road yelling, “The Yankees are coming! The Yankees are coming!” just in order to scare the people. They would run here and there and try to hide everything valuable they could while others would rush off to the woods with the horses. This same thing was repeated very often, so the people began to pay very little attention to the cry. Yankees Really Came One day, first part of December, 1863, I was at home when someone came down the road with the same old tale, “The Yanks are coming!”. I thought this time it seemed to be something in his voice that made me feel uneasy. Well, I thought to myself, I’ll get on my horse and go up the road and find out if there is anything to this story. I mounted my horse and up the road 1 went. Not more than half mile up I saw two Yankees standing talking to a woman in her yard. I MOYERS MOTOR CO.f INC.

Instead they turned their horses and ran up the road. I knew there must be more, so I turned and started back home. I had gone only a very I had only passed the two oak trees when something happened that I had never seen before or since. The horse I was riding, an army horse that had been captured by my uncle, Ned Gibson, one of Moses’ men, became so much excited that he the hill back of the house just one look was enough. The whole valley below was in a light blaze, all made from his fence rails. I will never forget how he dropped his head and not a word aloud was said. He then turned and told me where to go and spend LIFE-LONG RAPPAHANNOCK RESIDENT Alyette Buckner entertained Laurie Marshall with tales of the county during the Civil War and Prohibition. short distance when I heard the sound of horses feet running behind me. That made me start my horse off in a run. About that time I looked back and saw them coming. Instead of going lower down to the gate, I jumped the fence and made straight for the house. One Yankee decided to chase me - so he too jumped the fence, pulled his gun and began to fire at me. I turned in my saddle and began to fire back, which did check the Yank that was after me, but then came a roar like thunder. Road Full of Yankees The whole road was full of Yankees as far back as I could see. They started firing at me while I was running as fast as my horse could take me. I did not remember hearing any bullets, although some must have been near. I passed the house and ran by Itbe two big oak trees that wndT'back of therhduse on top the hill*- This heme is now owned by E. W. Gore. stopped right still and would not budge and began to neigh. I jumped off, grabbed a persimmon grub that lay close by, and with this, I was soon off in the woods. A Mother’s Plea While this was going on, my mother ran out in the yard, threw up her hands and cried, “My Lord, my Lord, they will kill my child.” She walked out to the soldiers and said to them, “Why, he is just a mere child!” One of the soldiers answered, “Well, Madam, he can shoot.” Night was drawing near and I knew my father had gone back in the mountains with his team after a load of brandy, so I hurried on to meet him and break the news. Not going so far before I met him, I said, “Father, our whole place is covered with Yankees.” He being about half and half refused to believe me- “Well, you come' go with' me and 1 wll show you.” When we arrived on top of Library Efforts Successful The Library’s 4th of July Bake and Book Sale netted enough money to pay for twothirds of the cost of its roof repair and painting. Food sales amounted to $219.45, and book sales took in $102. “That’s quite a lot,” stated Librarian Georgia Hufstedler, “because most of our books sold for 10 cents apiece. My bibliophile helpers were terrific salesmen.” Roberta Anderson, one of 'k to % Off in ail Departments throughout the store! the hard-working cochairmen of the Library Bake Sale, gave “many thanks to the many good Rappahannock cooks, both male and female, who contributed their wares.” Aleine Johnson, the other stem-winding co-chairman, added, “Literally, everything went like hot cakes... and I mean everything, including flag-waving cupcakes, ginseng cookies, upside-down cakes, all sorts of bread, even zucchini breadl Yes, and preserves, toppings, canned vegetables and dozens of fresh brown eggs.” “Our regional committee deserves the thanks,” continued Roberta and Aleine. They were Judy Grimsley in Chester Gap and Huntly, Esther Settle in Flint Hill, Ruby Cannon in Castleton, Lydia Anderson in Amissville, Mary Clarke in Sperryville, Myrtle Falls in Woodville, and Helen Holschue in Boston.

He rode back to his team and directed it to some other place for the night. His team was driven by Daniel Stark, a colored boy 16 years old. His load consisted of one barrel apple brandy and ten gallons peach brandy. Daniel Stark was well known around Washington, Virginia where he spent his latter days. “Liberated” Cattle Instead of going on and spending the night where my father told me, I decided to go down and see how close I could get to the solderiers’ camp. It was now some time after dark and the snow was falling fast. When I reached the picket line, being slow and cautious, I rode within 30 feet of the guards. They would walk back and forward from one fire to the other with a gun on their shoulder, never stopping. Very soon I rode np to • bunch of cattle all fenced in within 20 feet of the guard. I got down off my horse, let the fence down with all the ease I could, then got back on my horse and rode into the pen with the cattle. With my eye on the guard all the time, I started kicking with my feet and my horse biting the cattle. I soon get them out and drove them way into the woods. After a very tedious drive I got them about l1/* miles away in the mountains with the snow still falling. It snowed all nioht and the next morning there were no sign of cattle tracks. The arm; pulled out early next morning and made no effort to find the cattle. I found my father and led him back in the woods and showed him 44 cattle I had stolen from the Yankees. My father said, “Well, for these cattle I’m giving you that horse you are riding.” That made me very happy for that was just what I wanted and was the first horse I ever owned. When the Yankees camped here that night the officers searched the house and in the basement they found a barrel of brandy. An officer was afraid the soldiers would find it and drink so much that they would become unruly and unmanageable, so they took an ax and knocked the head out of the barrel and let out the brandy on the dirt floor. After they left I went in to see and there were some apples floating in the brandy. I picked the apples out of the brandy and I thought they were the best apples I ever ate.

T»v f «*■» w ’ ..» — •. .; . - » 3. r,* • VP I Drought Advice Released Rappahannock formers are suffering under the most severe drought conditions in almost half a century. In an attempt to alleviate some of the difficulties caused by exceptionally dry weather, county Extension agent Rap Owings has provided the News with the following management suggestions for drought-hit areas prepared by a special VPI Extension Service task force. Pasture and Hay Summer annual grasses such as sudangrass or sorghum-sudangrass planted after July 15 even in moist soil are not likely to produce satisfactory yields before frost, especially since they need to be 18-24 inches tall before they can be safely grazed. Seeding a foxtail millet or pearl millet may be a better alternative for additional hay or grazing since they can be safely grazed at any height. The triazine herbicides are all toxic to these. Rye planted by August 15 has the ability to provide late fall and early winter grazing which can greatly reduce the Those beef cow producers with tall fescue fields can drastically reduce their winter hay requirements by stockpiling the fall growth of tall fescue. Applying 60-80 lbs. of nitrogen per acre on good stands of tall fescue will provide winter grazing for a cow through most of the winter. With pastures so short due to the drought, it will be difficult to “set aside” a tall fescue field to stockpile, but in the long run, it would probably be better to feed some hay in the fall in order to have the winter grazing available. The application of 50-60 lbs. of nitrogen per acre to hayfields and pasture from August 1-15 will also stimulate fall growth of these areas for a fall hay cutting or fall grazing. Drought-stricken corn can make a good quality feed. Digestibility per unit of dry matter will be comparable to corn silage made from corn with normal ear development. Feed efficiency will not be as good as normal com silage and is estimated to be 80 per cent of that expected in high quality corn silage. To improve the quality of silage from stunted corn, it is suggested that the corn remain in the field as long as practical. Stunted corn, although it may not make an ear, will contain considerable moisture in the stalk. This corn will make better silage if harvested when the majority of leaves are “fired”. Even when the plant has “browned”, it will be difficult to make a silage containing 30 per cent dry matter or higher. Delaying harvest has another advantage of increasing yields if moisture becomes available. The com plant will resume growth if not completely killed by drought, and although it will not make an ear, it will concentrate nutrients in the “““ J‘v,u “,v‘v "‘J matter per acre than corn harvested earlier. Corn, sorghums, sorghumsudan hybrids, and most of the grass family will accumulate nitrate under adverse growing conditions. Dry weather and heavy nitrogen fertilization can result in a situation where plants accumulate nitrate rather than converting the nitrogen into protein. Heavy applications of manure and especially chicken litter will provide the same condition as straight nitrogen fertilization. The point to emphasize is that the above crops are potentially dangerous when dry weather interupts the normal growth pattern and these feeds should be fed accordingly. Ensiling is the best alternative for feeding as the fermentation process will Sickroom Supplies Hospital Beds - Oxygen Service Commodes - Walkers - Crutches T .A. vV* .‘Of* * IPPB Machines - Wheel Chairs Sale - Rental - Delivery Medicare - Medicaid 3Jl|e flams {tfyararacg 253-5275 The Plains SPERRYVILLE FIREMEN'S Annual CARNIVAL Wednesday - Saturday July20-21-22-23 Sperryville Carnival Grounds Rides Games Prizes Big Parade Thursday Night July 21 Starts Promptly at 7p.m. Queen Crowned Friday Night Grand Prize and other prizes Given Away Saturday Entertainment! Good Food! remove a significant amount of the nitrate. The material should be ensiled for a minimum of three weeks and then animals should still be acclimated to this silage the same as if you were feeding the material as green-chop. Yearling Steen and Heifers On Pasture It is poor economy to allow young, growing cattle to lose weight or make little or no gain because of poor pasture conditions. Producers with yearling steers or heifers on pasture need to consider their options and take steps to keep cattle gaining or remove them from pasture when the opportunity for gain is severely reduced or absent because of sharply curtailed availability of forage. Here are some options for producers to consider. Market Now—If pasture is neany usea up wun inue chance of recovery, it may be necessary to pull all yearlings off grass in the next few weeks. Normally, cattle make two-thirds of their pasture gain in the first half of the pasture season and with pasture conditions as poor as they are in much of the state, little additional gain can be expected this season. Producers should do the best possible marketing job by taking advantage of specie graded sales, tel-o-auction sales or special on-farm sale opportunities. In extreme situations, it may pay to feed hay or other forage or preferably limited grain due to the high cost of all types of forage until cattle can be put on the market. In most instances, forage feeding should be kept to a minimum. Market Some-Keep Some—If the pasture situation is not quite as critical, it may be possible to sell some cattle and keep some for a later sale. The percentage to market now will have to be matched to the best possible estimate of available grazing for the next 60-90 days. If both heifers and steers are on hand, it will be preferable to market the heifers and keen the steers. If steers only are being grazed, move the heavier end. Supplemental feeding—Feeding hay or other forage ,yearling, cattle on pasture doesn't appear to be a profitable alternative. Such feed will be in short supply this winter and should be kept for later use on most livestock farms. However, prices of corn and other grains are down from past levels and there may be an opportunity for feeding up to 1 per cent of body weight of grain to cattle where some limited grazing is still available. Sheep Sheep producers should consider early weaning lambs and finish them on feed in a cool barn or shed in order to leave the pasture for the ewes. The task force suggests that farmers with both ewes and cows should cull cows first. Don’t let the ewes get into too poor a condition prior to breeding. Ewes can be maintained on very little feed when not nursing lambs or just before breeding and lambing. One alternative would be to let them run on poor pasture, stubble fields or wooded areas and feed Vi lb. of corn per head per day. Beef Cow Herd Short pastures and sharply reduced hay production this spring and summer have created a crisis situation for many Virginia beef cow herd operators. Here are some suggestions that may help cow herd operators “hang in there” in the present emergency: 1. Cull open, old or unproductive cows. Pregnancy check as soon as possible. Sixty days after the breeding season ends is the right time to have cows examined. Keep the best, sell the rest. 2. If hay and-or silage supplies will be short this winter, cull cow herd to the level that can be wintered economically. Allow for crop residues, stockpiled fescue or winter grazing if these are possibilities but set cattle numbers in line with feed supplies. All types of purchased forage is likely to be expensive; grain will be a cheaper source of nutrients if forage is short. Cows can get by on as little as Vi lb. of hay per hundred pounds of body weight per day if additional nutrients can be provided by winter pasture, stockpiled grazing, crop residue, broiler litter or grain. 3. Creep graze calves on the best pasture available. This could be an alfalfa or clover hay field or an area of improved pasture. A simple creep gate will allow calves to use the best grazing while restricting cows to poorer grazing. 4. If creep grazing isn’t possible, creep feed grain to suckling calves. A mixture of 80 per cent cracked corn and 20 per cent soybean meal will give a 16 per cent protein creep ration suitable for calves getting little milk or high quality pasture. Don’t use urea in creep rations. 5. Wean calves early particularly in fall calving herds. In some cases, it may pay to wean calves early. Dry cows can survive on half the TDN required by cows nursing calves. Once cows are rebred, a period of reduced feeding will not do much harm. Heavier calves can go directly to market in special summer sales or calves can be put in dry lot or on best available pasture after weaning is complete. Feed a ration similar to the creep ration above in both situations and add good .quality hay if calves are in drjr tot. 6. Feed Supplements to Cows—At present hay prices and given the need for hay next winter, grain is a better option than hay if cows must be supplemented now. Two pounds of corn or other grain is equal to three pounds of hay. Cows can be fed two to five pounds of whole shelled corn per day on the sod. Utilization will be 80 per cent of ground corn and the expense and trouble of grinding and providing troughs can be avoided. Salt can be used to limit intake to reduce labor of hand-feeding. Barley and wheat can be substituted for up to one-half the corn in grain supplements. 7. Use Broiler Litter—In areas where broiler litter is available, it can be an economical feed for brood cows, stockers and slaughter cattle. Cows will readily consume a mixture of 80 per cent broiler litter and 20 per cent ground corn. The mixture will contain in excess of 50 per cent TDN on an “as fed basis”. Litter should be stocked in piles for one to two weeks after removal from the houses allowing it to go through a “heat”. Young cattle will do well on a mixture of 50 per cent broiler SALE 1 i Entire Stock j of j Ladies9 Summer j Wearing Apparel j PRICE j Sale Ends July 23rd i k Main St. Front Royal litter and SO per cent com or other grain. This mixture will contain about 60 per cent TON. 8. Supplement Two Year Old Heifers—Young cows, particularly spring calvers will be put under extra stress under present conditions. It may be desirable to separate these cows from the rest of the herd and give them better treatment to be sure they get rebred on schedule. 9. Don't Forget Good Management—Don’t overlook worming, fly control, implanting, grub treatments or other good management practices because times are tough. Gospel Music Sister Rosalee Smith, Gospel singer, will be at the Hopewell Baptist Church in Sperryville on Sunday, July 17, at 3:30 p.m. Miss Harriet Lewis, sponsor of the musical program, invites everyone to come and hear this great Gospel singer perform. Vespers Program The choir of the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church of Washington, D. C., will present a special music program at Sunset Vespers this Sunday, July 17, at 8:30 p.m., at the Luray Singing Tower. Carillonneur Charles T. Chapman will present a carillon recital at 8:00 p.m., followed by the all-music program. Program leader will be Don C. Kerr, Luray United Methodist Church Lay Leader. The New York Avenue Presbyterian Church choir is a favorite of those who have been attending Sunset Vespers. Director Stephen H. Prussing has brought the choir to Luray for years, and has presented many unusual and interesting programs. In the event of rain, services will be held at the Luray United Methodist Church after the carillon recital.

Published by Warrsnton Printing £r Publishing Company. Inc. THURSDAY, JULY 14,1977 Public Abuse We’ve received several letters in the past month — all unsigned — complaining about the bathroom situation in the county courthouse in Washington. Our anonymous correspondent(s) characterized the lack of separate public toilets for men and women as “disgraceful” and pointed a finger in shame at the county for not being able to afford better facilities. The term disgraceful is better applied to the circumstances surrounding the switch from separate facilities for men and women to one bathroom for the public and one bathroom for the use of personnel employed in the courthouse. It appears that a number of county citizens don’t know how to correctly use any kind of waste disposal system — whether it’s a dumpster or a bathroom. A good many businesses in the town of Washington are without water and toilet facilities. Employees of these establishments, as well as visitors to the courthouse, are in the habit of using the bathrooms there. This arrangement worked out fine until a few began to abuse the privilege. Towels, tissue and soap were stolen regularly with the bathrooms, particularly the ladies room, left in deplorable condition. The people working in the courthouse tired quickly of janitorial duties imposed on them by the abuse and thoughtlessness of others. They are paid to conduct the county’s business, not to clean up after lazy and slovenly citizens. When it became evident that the misuse wasn’t going to stop, courthouse employees took matters into their own hands and switched the signs on the bathrooms, reserving one for their S \ '■ ■: > - - : f » * m if f* * 4 rw* 4 & private use and assigning the other to be shared by the public. The inconsiderate attitude displayed by those who abused the public facilities at the courthouse is the same attitude shown by county residents who persist in dumping their trash on the ground at the dumpster sites instead of in the containers provided for disposal. Even when the dumpsters are empty, garbage litters the ground and the county has to foot the bill for cleaning up the mess. Adjoining counties don’t have this problem. What makes Rappahannock different? Lack of pride? While conditions at the dumpster sites have recently improved, it appears to be due to fear of punishment rather than growing citizen awareness. The Supervisors announced at their July Board meeting that the cost of picking up trash off the ground in June was approximately half that of the previous month. This would be heartening if it had occurred without the Sheriff’s Department conducting regular surveillance at the sites and making arrests for dumpster violations. In a further attempt to legislate respect for public property, the Supervisors are considering a change in the county ordinances that would institute a minimum fine of $50, or 30 days in jail, for those convicted of dumpster violations. We feel that the disgraceful part of the bathroom situation at the courthouse is not that there’s only one public toilet for both men and women to share but rather that existing conditions were caused by still another instance of citizen abuse. : <j # ir,t‘ • ; few Mf * : Services Available To The Blind Services available to the blind are neither widely publicized nor taken advantage of in rural counties such as Rappahannock. According to Valerie Morrill, representative from the Virginia Commission for the Visually Handicapped, eight Rappahannock residents are registered as legally blind and only four receive supplemental security income for the blind. A wide variety of services are available to anyone with a vision handicap besides financial assistance, said Mrs. Morrill. Vocational Rehabilitation is offered to those who are legally blind, have a deteriorating eye condition, or need corrective eye surgery. Under Vocational Rehabilitation, a person who qualifies can receive free workshop training and assistance in completing an education that may even include law school. “They can go as far in tellectually as their intellect will take them, regardless of their visual handicap,” explained Mrs. Morrill. Programs are funded through the Vocational Rehabilitation Act of 1964 with Federal Title 20 money, she said, adding that localities are reimbursed for the cost of any Welfare counseling provided to the blind. Rehabilitation Center “For anyone who goes blind quickly, I would suggest that they go to the Rehabilitation Center in Richmond,” said Mrs. Morrilli At the Center, built by donations from Virginia Lions Clubs, persons with a visual handicap are given an evaluation and taught skills on a 40-hour a week basis. Transportation, training and housing for the program are all free, regardless of a person’s financial status. Income eligibility requirements have to be met only for “pin money” disbursements to participants, said Mrs. Morrill. Home Bound Instruction Kathy Doyle, the Vocational Rehabilitation worker for Rappahannock County, will come into the homes of visually handicapped persons to teach and give folks the help they may need to survive, said Mrs. Morrill. Instruction includes homemaking skills, reading and writing braille, and developing an awareness of the environment through the use of the remaining senses. Mrs. Morrill said that the rehabilitation worker provides her clients with things like self-threading UVVUIVJ W11U VVltVi • » l n v gadgets that make life easier. Library materials are - mailed from Richmond to visually handicapped persons. Cassette players are provided free for as long as a person wants the use of one, said Mrs. Morrill. Magazines like Ms., Good Housekeeping and U. S. News and World Report are taped on floppy test records and do not have to be returned. Books are done on hard records and are circulated just like volumes in a regular lending library. Religious materials are also available and are particularly appreciated by folks who are shut-ins and can’t get out to attend church services, she said. Visually handicapped youngsters in schools can also receive special assistance from the Commission, which provides itinerant teachers whose salary is paid half by the Blind Commission and half by the local school system. These instructors provide parent and student counseling, furnish any instructional equipment needed and work with the teachers to explain special techniques for teaching the visually handicapped. The Commission also operates three low vision clinics in Charlottesville, Richmond and Roanoke where special magnifiers are prescribed. “If a person can’t get out, it may be possible to arrange for someone to come into the home to conduct an examination,” said Mrs. Merrill. She asked that anyone interested in further information on the programs available to the visually handicapped reach her at the Alexandria District office, telephone (703) 549-0360. Contact can also be made through the Rappahannock Welfare Office who will relay the inquiry to Mrs. Morrill.

"It would be kind of hard for me to vote against a subdivision with what we’ve got now,” he said. Luke answered that the Planners were charged with drawing up a county comprehensive plan, among other duties, when thtf Commission was created in 1962. “All of that was done,” maintained Rappahannock Commonwealth Attorney George Davis. ‘‘It hasn’t been done,” countered Luke. “It has,” Davis argued. “In my opinion, it’s been done too,” interjected JUpUTlSUl 11. U. TTWU. Luke asked to be shown a copy of the county’s comprehensive plan, if the document does exist. He maintained that state law required adoption of such a plan. “This is the law. If you don’t want to obey it. . .” Wood insisted that it was a matter of interpretation as to yhe^sr Rapp shaft* qgk^ County had fulfilled the comprehensive plan requirement. Rappahannock Interpretation “Everybody in the state interprets it the same way except Rappahannock, replied Luke. There are numerous reports in the Gerk’s office, including information on county land, people and facilities and data from the Division of Industrial Development and Planning, said Davis. “All these materials contribute to, and become part of, a comprehensive plan for the county . . . When we talk about the county not having a comprehensive plan, that is just not true,” he stated. The law requiring localities to adopt a comprehensive plan by 1980 deals with “those localities that haven’t even a Planning Commission ... or no land use controls or comprehensive piau ui any 5uii, L/<ivi5 continued. He charged that “public officials who say that the county has not adopted a comprehensive plan” are giving out “false information that is creating more problems.” Luke pointed out, that the reports in the clerk’s office referred to by Davis couldn’t be considered a comprehensive plan since th^ documents had never beer? adopted by the Board of Supervisors. Ordinances Of Entrapment Planner Newbill Miller entered into the discussion to assure the Supervisors that the Planning Commissioners wanted to comply with the Board’s wishes. “As far as a comprehensive plan goes, most people view this as something that will solve the problems of the county,” stated Miller. This hasn’t proved the case in adjoining counties that have adopted plans, he said. Instead, the plans have turned out to be “ordinances of entrapment,” he maintained. Davis interrupted to say that the county has a comprehensive plan. What it doesn’t have, he claimed, is a master plan, adding that the two documents came under separate sections of the Virginia Code. The Planning Commission hasn’t said no to a comprehensive plan, continued Miller, after Davis finished. ▼▼ e liiienu iu nave a comprehensive plan, continued Miller, after Davis finished. “We intend to have a comprehensive plan to present to you formally,” he volunteered. However, Miller noted that since receiving informed opinion on what a comprehensive plan entailed, he ,felt , that drawing, up a plan' was ^‘more technical than we’re ready to solve right now. If we wait and don’t get into too much of a hurry, we’ll have a better plan” and the county won’t be "crucified”, he said. 90 Per Cent Of plan “We have 90 per cent of what’s necessary. It’s a Davis Says He’ll Sue (Continued from Page 1) from the Attorney General’s office on his inquiry of last April on the scope of a sheriff’s department’s jurisdiction. The letter stated that a ruling from the Attorney General issued in April, 1977, was still in effect and that the ruling held a sheriffs department had the power and duty to enforce Commonwealth motor vehicle laws. According to Luke, Compensation Board officials have stated that mileage reimbursements to the county would be authorized provided the reports were filled out correctly and approved by the Board. “I’ve never said... that the Sheriff and his deputies do not have the power to make arrests for motor vehicle violations,” Davis countered. He maintained his position was that certain practices engaged in by the Sheriffs Department were not reimbursable under state law. “I’ve yet to receive a call or be told by a business that they don’t want to be checked on,” said Luke. He added that several business men in his district had been informed by Davis that the Sheriff’s Department would no longer be policing their establishments. Davis denied the allegation but Luke repeated that he’d been told by several people that Davis visited their businesses, relaying information that the Sheriff wouldn’t be patrolling any more. Deputy Ronnie Hawkins, acting sheriff in Buntin’s absence, requested a short executive session for personnel matters. Luke added that he, too, had a personnel matter to discuss. The Board adjourned after a 15 minute closed session and Luke reported that no action was taken during the closed meeting. Horticulture Programs Two programs are scheduled for those interested in different facets of horticulture. Both will be held at the Donaldson Brown Center for Continuing Education on the campus of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Blacksburg. The first program, Symposium IX, is arranged for the Virginia Council of Nationally Accredited Flower Show Judges and the general public who are interested in new ideas for artistic design and detail instruction in the growing of gladiolus, tuberous begonias and perennials. It is scheduled for July 19, 20, and 22. Garden Lovers’ Short Course is scheduled for August 17, 18 and 19 and is arranged especially for home owners interested in learning more about landscaping and fruit and vegetable production for the home grounds. For further information on either program, contact the Extension Office, 675-3619.

He emphasized that the Planning Commission wanted to cooperate with the Supervisors. “The only way this county’s going to survive is for all the county governing bodies to cooperate and pull together.” Miller warned the Supervisors that they’d better be prepared to accept a lot of abuse and charges of conflict of interest if they set about tabling specific areas for growtn on a master plan map. Both Supervisor Wood and Davis agreed that such action would upgrade certain property by raising its price tag while devaluating other land not designated for development. “Counties that have adopted master plans all regret it now” because of loss of control over growth, Davis maintained. Once land is designated for growth, a developer would have the authority to put in a subdivision, whether the county wanted it or not, said Miller. “We’re dealing with serious business,” he added. If the county decided to follow the approach of attempting to encourage high density development centered around existing villages Davis warned that he expected the Washington Town Council to reassert jurisdiction over a two mile area surrounding the town. Luke responded that this prospect didn’t alarm him. He noted that a village center approach was only one of several alternatives for directing growth and suggested that a number of alternatives be presented at special meetings in communities throughout the county to gather citizen opinion. Piece Meal “You can’t consider the county piece meal,” maintained Miller. Growth that happens in one area affects the tax rate for the county as a whole, he said. “You can’t free lance in each community . . . Development means higher taxes, more schools.” Without some sort of direction, the county will continue to be plagued with uncontrolled “spot T llbn “My theory is that spot development is better than a master plan”, countered Davis, maintaining that the county’s existing ordinances gave the Supervisors more control over proposed development than a comprehensive plan would. Supervisor Wood supported Davis’s defense of spot development. The county already has many of the elements required for inclusion in a comprehensive plan, Luke acknowledged. “We’ve got to get them all together so that people can see what we’re thinking about.” Following the lengthy exchange of ideas on comprehensive planning, the Supervisors took no action to either schedule a joint hearing with the Planners or to instruct the Commission to begin work on a plan. Social Planned There will be a social at the Rappahannock Community Center Saturday, July 23, 9 p.m.-l. Everyone is invited to come. To The Editor The Sheep Returned To the editor: . THE SHEEP RETURNED THIS WEEK1 They didn’t have time last week to finish the. job propertly. So they returned in full force. Tomatoes (ripe and green) gone, peppers gone, string beans stripped of leaves and beans but the plants still standing, potatoes wiped out, grapes with no berries or leaves, onions that were topped last week gone this week. Thanks to the sheep and a few cows that greeted us Saturday morning, my garden is completely gone. Cows, just like the sheep, went through the garden. What they ate, I can’t imagine but they left a little fertilizer behind just like the sheep did. Thanks for the fertilizer, but NO THANKS. I called the sheriff on Saturday to see what justice (if any) I had since my garden had been attacked by livestock. After talking with him, I learned you can’t do anything. If you had a fence area and if you could herd them into it, and if you had all the time in the world to wait for the owner to claim them, you could charge him for the damage that was done. GREAT, I don’t have that kind of time on my hands. This is four months of work down the drain. But after all, the cows and sheep were hungry. I wonder what would happen if the shoe was on the other foot. What would happen if this happened to THEM? Just at the time you are ready to harvest a few vegetables, something beats you to the garden. LIVESTOCK1 I didn’t need any help in picking my garden last year, and I certainly didn’t need any help in picking it this year. Doesn’t anyone care about others’ property? NEIGHBORS close by, watch out. YOUR GARDEN is next, because mine is completely cleaned out. (MRS.) SUZANNE BARRON Sheep Apology To the editor: In answer to Mrs. Barron’s letter of last week I would like to apologize for my sheep. I can’t blame her for being cross but had she told us about it we could have looked for the hole in the fence sooner and saved a lot of hard feelings. During this hot weather the sheep go out only at night and that inviting pond was too much for them. If Mrs. Barron plans to live in the country she must get used to the ways of the country and one of these is to be forthright with ones neighbors. Mr. Woody Barron has been our neighbor for years and is one whom anybody would like to have. Perhaps he can give some good advice on living next door to farmers! We try to keep the fence up but it is a continuing job and we would appreciate your letting us know when the sheep annoy you. With hopes for friendship. SALLY M. H.

The 4-H Day Camp program is an educational and recreational activity sponsored by the Rappahannock Extension Service. Sixty-six children enjoyed swimming every day as well as classes in crafts, drama, outdoor cookery, nature, fishing, music, first aid and woodworking. Saturday, the group went by bus to Dulles Airport for a tour of the airport, mobile J&S Nips Sonics Jacobs and Smith nearly ran into a hornet’s nest Sunday when the Sperryville Sonics came to Fauquier, but the host team managed to put together a pair of wins on scores of 14-13 and 11-3. GAME ONE. The Sonics surprised their hosts by exploding with enough hits to send 13 runners home, but J&S stood firm ground to nip the opposition by one run. Creasy sparked the winning rally with a 4-5 performance, supported with two hits each from Pilcher, Frye, Koval, James and Jacobs. Settle, Burke and Wharton led the Sonics with three hits in four at bats each while teammate Leake went 2-4 at the plate. Gene Jacobs picked up the win and Hitt was tagged with the loss. GAME TWO. With the same pitchers squaring off on the mound as in the first game, J&S boosted their record to 15-7 with an 11-3 win over the Sonics, now standing at 8-12. Breeden turned in a perfect 3-3 performance for J&S, aided by Pilcher and Thom who each went 2-3. Settle, Hitt and Payne each connected for two hits to lead the Sonics. lounges and the firehouse. A cookout at Bull Run Park in Manassas followed the airport tour. Mrs. Nancy Secrist, Extension agent, said the success of the camp program would not have been possible without the support and help of the following volunteers: Lynne Baines, Ann Norvell, Vinnie De Luise, Amy Monahan, Camille Harris, Jim Bankston, Irvin Kenyon, Howard Handorf, Cheri Woodard, Yogi Bear, Doug Shroeder, Rena Mae Jenkins, Ellen Mustoe, Vi Cooley, Helen Holschuh, Donna Fisher, Carolyn Manwaring, Marie Davis, Arlene Frye, Elsie Gheen, Brenda Hitt, Sarah Wines and Lillian Mustoe.

God is awake.—Victor Hugo REGULAR AUCTION Thursday, July 14 Good Sale of Nice Furniture and Usable Items. Special: Bettric Fan Just right for this weather! JENKINS AUCTION HOUSE Washington, Va. The “public notification” process is a new idea, spelled out by Congress when it passed the Safe Drinking Water Act in late 1974. Congress believed that consumers should be guaranteed the right to know when and if a problem exists that effects the quality of their drinking water. The idea was that consumers can participate fully in making decisions affecting their health only if they know all the facts. Notification about such problems may be made by means of a notice accompanying water bills, in the newspaper, or on TV and radio. The notice will explain what the problem is and what is being done about it. It will also suggest precautions the consumer can take himself, if such measures are seen to be necessary. EPA and State officials believe that most water supplies already meet the standards. Those that don’t, however, will now have to take whatever action is needed to remedy the problem. The town of Washington has the only public water system currently operating in Rappahannock County. Mrs. Virginia Miller, Town Treasurer, reported that she expects EPA’s new regulations will not affect the town’s testing procedures. Mrs. Miller said that water samples have been routinely sent for years to Luray for tests on at least a monthly basis. “They’ve always come back all right,” she added.

New Baptist Minister David Martin Moore of Winchester has accepted the naistorate for the Washington Baptist Church effective July 17. He is a graduate of the University of Richmond and Princeton Theological Seminary, Princeton, N. J. Mr. Moore has been a supply minister in New York, Pennsylvania and in Front Royal and acted as a staff advisor for Camp Lebanon in New Jersey during the summer of 76. He was active on the Bible Student Union revival team in Virginia for two summers. Among his immediate aims in the Baptist Church here is to promote growth in the Sunday School and institute a youth program. He also desires to organize a church choir. The Baptist Church here has been without a pastor for DAVID MARTIN MOORE some time, so there is much which needs to be done, according to a church spokesman. Lethal Import Spreads Across United States By WILLIAM J. O’NEILL Nitioul Geographic New* “ One of Europe’s deadliest killers evidently has taken up permanent residence in the United States. The killer is Amanita phalloides, a large white mushroom that one authority describes as “so clean and handsome in appearance as to practically invite gathering.” The mushroom reportedly tastes as good as it looks. But within 8 to 16 hours after eating the “death cup,” victims suffer severe stomach cramps and nausea, followed by liver and kidney failure. A. phalloides is the most toxic of the various species of poisonous mushrooms. One bite can be fatal. Nearly half of the people who mistakenly eat the mushroom die within a few days. Hundreds Poisoned In Europe, where the killer mushroom is common, it poisons hundreds of persons every year. Now the species appears to be spreading in the United States, the National Geographic Society warns. Mycologists, the experts who study the more' than 2,000 species of mushrooms, believed for years that A. pholloides did not grow in North America. They revised their opinions when it began appearing in California and Oregon in the 1950s. In 1966 the lethal mushroom was found on Mercer Island in Washington. In 1963 a chef in If 1313 Play It Cool for Safety While Swimming, Boating The long hot days of summer call for trips to the pool, beaches and resorts for fun in the sun. 1313 would like to pass along some pointers that can help make the vacation pastimes of swimming, boating and sunbathing safer and more enjoyable.

If clusters of blisters or large individual blisters form, the burn is a second degree burn and prompt medical attention is required. The cure is easy. Take your sun in smaller doses and do not try to get the great tan in a single outing. Two of the more common heat-related illnesses are Heat-Exhaustion and HeatStroke. The symptoms of heat-exhaustion can include a headache, nausea, dizziness, weakness, loss of appetite, muscle-cramps and faintness. The patient’s appearance may include moist and clammy skin, ashen-gray in color. The pupils of the eyes are dilated (enlarged) and the temperature may be subnormal. Care should include placing this person in a cool place with their feet elevated and then summoning medical help. Heat-Stroke (sunstroke) while not as common, is.far more serious than heatexhaustion. The most obvious symptoms of this illness are a very high temperature and hot dry skin. The patient will appear flushed and will be very ill. Wet cool towels should be applied over the entire body in an effort to cool the patient. Again, medical help cknnlH Ko cnmmnnarl i m _ mediately as the patient must be taken to the nearest medical facility for proper medical attention. One of the more important indirect problems caused by summer heat is the extra care required in driving. High summer temperatures often bring out low tolerance driving habits which can contribute directly to accidents.

The first and most important rule in swimming is not to over estimate your own abilities. Try not to swim alone. This recommendation is especially important to those who own private swimming pools, or take advantage of local ponds and lakes. Obviously, swimming alone offers little chance for rescue—should trouble arise. Public swimming pools offer their own type of problem. There is usually a crowd so that even an alert life guard cannot spot someone in trouble. Make certain while swimming underwater or diving that someone else is aware of your activities. Above all, refrain from “horse-play” as you may divert a lifeguard’s attention when he may be needed elsewhere. When diving, make sure that the only thing in the “target-area” is water. In pools, make sure that no one is swimming under the board or below the surface while you are diving. In ponds, lakes or down-by-the-oldmill-stream, be sure there is adequate depth and that there are no obstructions such as rocks, below the surface, before you dive. Boating is one of the most exciting of summer sports, IU1 VIIV UIVAp^l 1V11VVU person it can also be one of the most hazardous. Financial ability to own a boat does not qualify a person in seamanship. We recommend and support the courses in Boating Safety and Seamanship offered by the Coast Guard, Coast Guard Auxiliary and Power Squadrons. There are, however, a few basic rules that apply to every craft from cruisers to canoes: 1. Have a Coast Guard approved life jacket or floatation device for everyone aboard and do not overload your craft. 2. For offshore craft, carry fire extinguishers and signaling devices such as smoke and dye markers and if possible have 2-Way Radio Communications aboard. Most small boats and canoes have built-in floatation gear or air-pockets and, because of this, will stay afloat even when full of water or completely submerged.

After eating them, his family fell seriously ill and his 10-year-old son died. Since then, at least two persons died from the poisonous mushrooms in California and two more deaths were reported in New Jersey. Continuing to Spread In recent years, collectors have found the species in New York, Delaware, and Virginia. Late last year, Seattle residents were warned that the deadly mushroom is growing in that area. "It’s practically suicide” to eat even a small amount of Amanita phalloides, cautioned an official of the National Park Service. He advised that mushroom picking be left to the professionals and commercial growers. dui niycupnues are convinced that store-bought mushrooms just don’t compare with the delicious flavor of the wild varieties. They agree, however, that extreme care must be taken, and warn beginners never to pick mushrooms except with an expert. Authorities say it simply isn’t true that poisonous mushrooms can be identified by their texture, or by caps that peel easily, or because they have a telltale odor, or wil} turn a silver spoon dark when they are cooked, or by any other simple test. “When in doubt, throw it out,” is the rule followed by knowledgeable collectors. For anyone not absolutely familiar with the appearance of different species, the rule might be: Restrict your hunting to grocery shelves. ++++ The Parthians having captured the Roman general Crassus, who invaded their country, the Parthian King is said to have poured into his mouth melted gold, saying, “Now be satiated with what thou covetedest through life.” —H.
