Power Co. Reports New Peak Potomac Edison officials reported that the power company hit a new summer peak at 5 p.m. on Monday, July 18, with the production of 1235 megawatts of electricity. The previous peak, 1171 megawatts, occured last August, according to company spokesman Jim Poplar. Unlike other electric companies that serve more metropolitan areas, Potomac Edison is not experiencing any voltage capacity problems and has not had to ask customers to curtail or control use, said Poplar. “We’re a winter peaking company,” he continued, “so we’re getting along pretty well right now” despite the continuing heat wave. THE ADJOINING PROPERTY line, marked by the tree at the right, is only ten feet away from Steve DeMent’s new antique warehouse instead of the 50 feet stipulated in the special use permit issued DeMent by the BZA. Kindergarten Survey Planned Full Or Half-Day Classes? By daphne McCullough Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock School system will conduct a survey of prospective kindergarten parents to determine the number of students interested in half-day classes. The survey was authorized at the School Board’s July 12 meeting in response to a request from Sharon Kilpatrick that the Board consider allowing parents the option of choosing either full or half-day classes. School Board members have indicated in the past that they will be forced to go with four half-day classes for kindergarteners if program enrollment exceeds the 32 pupil per class limit, established by the state. The school budget for the coming year allows for only two kindergarten teachers. Enrollment currently stands at 59—a figure that could be handled by two teachers in two full-day classes—but school personnel have in dicated that they expect enrollment to increase. If enrollment goes over 64, Mrs. Kilpatrick suggested that parents be allowed to choose from one full day and two half day classes on a “first come, first served” basis as long as class space was available. She also suggested that parents of half-day students who live off main roads be required to transport their children to a central bus pick-up point. She noted that many kindergarteners will spend almost as much time on the bus as in school if a half-day program with regular bus routes is adopted. Board Liable Both elementary principal Buddy Carter and Superintendent William Bloomer told Mrs. Kilpatrick that they expected the large majority of kindergarten parents to opt for full-day classes if a choice was given. Carter warned that the Board might be liable for suit if the class size limit was reached and a parent who wanted his child to go full-day was turned down. Carter added that he felt the aggrieved parent would win in any legal action. Since the coming year is the first that state-mandated kindergarten will be offered in the county, Board member Paul Nichols advised that the plan drafted by the administration be followed. “The plan is still flexible now because enrollment is not definite,” Mrs. Kilpatrick responded. Half-Day Classes Anticipated Newly elected School Board Chairman Beverly Massie agreed that no firm decision had been reached yet on a kindergarten class program. “We expect enough enrollment to require four classes . . . But until we get down to the wire, we won’t be in a position to determine if we’ll have to have four (halfday, classes or two (full-day) classes,” she said. Board member Alan Stokes interjected that the school system could realize "quite a savings” if Mrs. Kilpatrick’s suggestion was implemented. Mrs. Kilpatrick acknowledge the impossibility of ' offering regular half-day classes if kindergarten enrollment stayed under 64. However, she added that she would like to see a half-day option, similar to Madison County’s, for parents willing to pick their children up at school. “But parents must be consistent” in selecting half-day classes, she added. “They can’t just use the school as a part-time baby sitter.” Mrs. Kilpatrick continued that she wasn’t sure if her kindergarten plan for enrollment over 64 students was feasible. “I couldn’t determine that without a survey” to find out how many parents would want their children enrolled in all-day kindergarten, she commented. "‘I’m not adverse to taking a survey,’’ Bloomer said, adding that he felt a decision on class scheduling should be made as soon as possible even if a late surge in enrollment forces last minute changes. Registration Compulsory He noted that parents are required to register eligible children for kindergarten. For the coming year, attendance is optional but parents must take “affirmative action” and put in writing that they don’t plan to send their child, said Bloomer. He acknowledged that parents may change their minds later and either withdraw a child from school or enroll one who had previously stayed home. The school system must be available for whatever number of kindergarteners that show up—either 50 or 100, Bloomer concluded. The Board authorized the new Superintendent to conduct a survey of parent opinion on half-day classes but emphasized that the survey was intended only as a source of information to aid school administration in planning the kindergarten program. Old Foiks Gaining The old folks seem to be gaining on the young ones, from the appearance of the PAL fund gauge. Ned Johnson, Panther Athletic League Donation Chairman, has received $1300 in contributions to help clear and grade an area for a track at RCHS. However, that along with the amount raised by the track members is ony half the amount needed. Track members continue to run in area meets this summer bringing home several blue, red and white ribbons. Their enthusiasm is unbounding even under the adverse conditions of limited training areas. A contribution, tax deductible, to the PAL association will help to assure track members a facility on which to train and run. Be a PALI Send your contributions to Ned Johnson, P. O. Box 211, Sperryville, Va. 22740. TRACK GOAL for clearing and $5,000 $1/100 BZA Revokes Permit By DAPHNE McCULLOUGH Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock Board of Zoning Appeals voted unanimously at last Thursday’s “on again-off again” meeting to revoke the special use permit issued to P. E. Steve DeMent III on the grounds that DeMent failed to meet conditions attached to the permit. According' to County Zoning Administrator Evan McNear, the next step in legal action against DeMent may be to file suit for violation of county ordinances. Then it will be up to the judge to take action to bring DeMent into compliance, possibly by requiring that he tear down the offending structure, said McNear. The BZA’s printed agenda for the July 14 session did not include anything relating to DeMent, whose special use permit was suspended at the' June 9 meeting for noncompliance with setback and construction requirements. At the completion of scheduled business, the Board voted to adjourn and Chairman Josef Gardiner twice repeated that the meeting was over. The minutes show that following adjournment, the BZA members voted to reconvene in executive session to discuss DeMents case and reached the conr*1licinrt fhat fhpu kaH “r\np more item of business.” Board member George Muth moved that the ■meeting be reconvenedagain-in open session. The motion was seconded by H. L. Manwaring and unimously approved by the rest of the BZA members. As the News was not informed of this special meeting, the following information had to be gathered from BZA secretary Patty Alexander’s notes and an interview with McNear. DeMent in Violation According to the minutes, DeMent’s special use permit was “discussed in detail” and BZA members concluded that DeMent was in violation of his permit, granted on April 14 for the purpose of adding to the present structure on his property in Sperryville. The permit stipulated that the 70 foot long, 40 foot wide addition be set back 50 feet from both Route 522 and the adjoining property. A sketch of the proposed addition on file in McNear’s office shows new construction attached directly to and part of the existing building and set back 50 feet from the neighboring property and Route 522. Also on file in McNear’s office is a letter dated May 17 from the BZA to DeMent, informing him that he was in violation of his special use permit setback requirements and directing him to conform immediately. The letter was written after BZA members noticed DeMent’s building going up—separate from the existing structure and only 10 feet from the adjoining property line. “Puzzled And Confused” To date, said McNear, DeMent’s only reply to BZA correspondence has been a letter in which DeMent stated that he was “puzzled and confused” over allegations of noncompliance. DeMent wrote that it was not his intention “to do other than follow the rules and decision of the Rappahannock Board of Zoning Appeals.” He claimed that his building permit included an approved breezeway between the existing building and the new structure and he didn’t address alledged setback violations at all. Regulations Not Satisfied McNear explained that the breezeway wouldn’t satisfy ordinance regulations that apply to building in a residential business district and flood plain. Because of the location of DeMent’s property in RB 1 District he may only “repair, improve and upgrade an existing facility”—not build a separate structure, said McNear. He maintained that the addition of a breezeway would not classify the new building as part of an existing facility. According to the minutes of the reconvened open meeting, the consensus of the Board was that DeMent “has continued to act in defiance” in proceeding with construction in violation of special use permit after being repeatedly warned. The BZA members voted unanimously to revoke his permit and noted that DeMent was liable under provisions of Article 15-2 of the Zoning Ordinance. The ordinance states that violations are punishable by a fine of not less than $10 or more than $250. Each day that a violation continues is deemed a separate offense, according to section 15-2-1. No Money For Legal Counsel BZA members also authorized a letter to the Board of Supervisors, informing the Supervisors of possible impending legal action and advising them of the BZA’s intent “to procure the services of a lawyer with imminent qualifications in the field of zoning law.” McNear noted that the BZA had no money for legal counsel and said fees would have to be paid out of the county’s general fund. Attorney Maurice Biddle, representing the owners of property adjoining DeMent's who had previously filed suit against both DeMent and the BZA, said his clients had decided to continue their case to await the results of BZA action. New Cars Authorized The Rappahannock School Board members and administration personnel, are going to have to dig down deep into their budget pockets for the coming year and find money to purchase two new cars for bus driver transportation. Superintendent William Bloomer reported at the July 12 meeting of the Board that the two vehicles used in carpools to get school bus drivers back home after their morning runs were no longer available. One of the automobiles is now used by elementary principal Buddy Carter and the second has an expired inspection sticker and is not worth repairing, according to Bloomer. Either the school system will have to secure additional vehicles or allow the drivers to take their buses home in the mornings, he said. Chairman Beverly Massie noted that Board members would have to weigh the cost outlay for a new vehicle against wear and tear on school buses, if the policy of providing transportation for bus drivers was to continue. “There’s no other solution but to get two more cars” when relative costs are compared, maintained Board member Walter Masterson. No Money Bloomer commented that there’s nothing in the budget for replacement of service vehicles. “Where’s the money going to come from?” asked Mrs. Massie. “We have to find some category where we can make a switch,” answered Bloomer and suggested the possibility of ordering one smaller school bus instead of a fullsize vehicle in order to realize a savings. Despite a few misgivings the Board members unanimously authorized Bloomer to purchase two used cars at a maximum price of $1,000 a piece. “If we can get it for $500, we’re going to do that,” the Superintendent added. Employment Policy The Board also unanimously adopted an addition to school employment policy. Bloomer described the clause as a “reaction to the affirmative action thing” (a request previously made by the Seventh District Black Caucus for more black teachers in the Rappahannock school system). Bloomer said that the impression he had garnered in attending several School Board meetings was that the Board members wanted “to go in terms of well qualified individuals”, regardless of race, sex, religion, creed or ethnic background. The new clause in employment policy reaffirms the School Board’s position of non-discrimination in hiring practices, said Bloomer. It states the intention of the Rappahannock School system to present equal employment opportunities to all qualified personnel, he reported. In other business. Bloomer was instructed to clarify responsibility for sewer hookup fee at the School Board’s Sperryville office before a new lease is signed. He was also asked to check on whether the School Board will be allowed to store school records currently kept in Warren County in the Rappahannock County jail and whether or not the fire proof filing cabinets ordered several months ago by the Board had arrived and were being used. Following the close of the open meeting, the Board went into executive session to discuss “personnel matters.” Rec Center July 27—Lion’s Club, Paul Nichols.

Yankees In Rappahannock (As told to 91 year old Alyette Buckner by his father) Part 2 By LAURIE MARSHALL R«pp»li«Mnock Ifcw CniT«po«ifcl This piece of news (the “liberation of 44 head of cattle from the Yankees) soon spread far and near and when it was over my Father only had ten cattle left. The cattle had been stolen from the farmers by the Union army as they passed along. The farmers came and identified all but ten and were allowed to have them back. In January my Father told me and Daniel Stark to drive those ten cattle near Charlottesville to be fed and for safe keeping. Daniel and I started out on this fifty mile drive. When I arrived at the Robinson River the rain had swollen the stream above normal. My horse was about in the middle of the river when I tipped my foot and fell in, getting wet up around my waist. After reaching the other side I pulled off my pants and wrang the water out, put them back on and continued on. Feed was very scarce and hard to get on my journey. One day on the drive it began to get late in the afternoon and every time I would ask for feea and to spend the night the people would turn me away. It began to look very bad for me and the cattle to find shelter for the night. Subterfase Necessary The next place I came to I rode up to the man’s house and told him “I am driving government cattle and I am ordered to demand feed and shelter where ever needed.” This scheme had wonderful effect. The man and his son hitched up his wagon and hauled out feed for the cattle. Without1 asking any questions, Daniel and I walked into his parlor and built a good fire. I watched him feed the cattle from the parlor window and it made me feel I had done wrong, but it was the best I could do on a cold wintry night. All my father had after the war was these ten cattle and about 100 pounds of tobacco which he had hidden in the corner of the room and made to look like a bed. Chilian Hardships Those of today have no idea of the hardships the people went through with during the War Between the States. Sickness seemed to be worse than ever and ahnost no doctors for the sick were to be found. There was a terrible epidemic of diptheria among the children and they died by the whole sale. Nearly all the hogs died from cholera. The dogs ate the hogs and the dogs died from sore throat. One of our neighbors had a hog that kept getting in my Father’s cornfield and we could not keep it out. One day Father told me to take the gun and kill the hog, which I did. The hog belonged to the wife of a soldier and when he came back from the war he was told that I killed his hog. The soldier was furious after hearing what happened to his hog. He got his rifle and came near my house and sat on a rock waiting to get a shot at me. Narrow Escape Mother found it out first and took me and locked me in a room. He continued to sit there on the rock waiting for me. I got tired of being locked up. I got out of the window on the porch roof and swung down on the ground and then into the house and got my rifle, went out in the yard and took a crack at him. I didn’t hit him but he immediately got up and left. He told someone later that the bullet passed close to his head. After the war “Barlow”, Registration Change Opposed Rappahannock Registrar Mary Geverley sides with the majority of members of the Virginia Voter Registrars Association in opposing Election Day Registration and Voting Legislation, H. R. 5400, now before Congress. If passed, the bill would allow voters to register on the day of an election. Currently, registration books are closed 30 days prior to an election as far as voter eligibility is concerned. “The cost of an election will go up” if the change in registration regulations is adopted, reported Mrs. Geverley. “We’d need extra help for voting.” She emphasized that there would be no accurate way to determine how many people would show up at the polls. “People getimpatient now if they have to' wait. We could need possibly twice as many workers” if the new law is passed, Mrs. Geverley said. Then, if voters don’t turn out in expected numbers, the precincts would wind up being over-manned, she added. Currently, from three to five workers are at the polls in the county’s six precincts for presidential elections, according to Mrs. Cleverley, and the county pays each approximately $30. She noted that election costs are born entirely by the locality and not reimbursed with federal or state funds. Doubling the number of precinct workers to handle registration for the crowds who may (or may not) show up at the polls on election day could cost county tax payers an additional $1,000, said Mrs. Cleverley. Keeping registration books open until election day would also increase the possibility of fraud and add to the difficulties of assigning a voter to the oprrect precinqt, Mrs; Cleverley continued. She expressed doubt that allowing people to register on election day would increase voter turnout, the goal President Carter hopes to achieve with the legislation. Mrs. Cleverley predicted that Fire-Rescue Notes On July 14, the Flint Hill Rescue Squad took Mrs. Martha Whorton from the Medical College of Virginia in Richmond to the home of her son, Thurmon Whorton, in Flint Hill. Also on July 14, the Sperryville Rescue Squad took Jake Fincham from his home in Sperryville to Culpeper Memorial Hospital. The Sperryville Rescue Squad answered a call to an accident on Route 612, but services were not needed. On July 15, the Washington Rescue Squad took Marion Freeman to Culpeper Memorial Hospital.

The Voter Registrars Association of Virginia sent survey questionnaires on the proposed registration change to General Registrars in the state’s 136 cities and counties. Of the 87 per cent who responded, all but four opposed the passage of H. R. 5400. Mrs. Cleverley urged citizens who support the Association’s opposition to passage of the legislation to write their representatives, Congressman , J.s Kenneth Robinson.

As soon as he left my playmate Press Fincham and I left for the river and stayed in the water off and on all day. When I left the river my throat was well. One day Press met a Yankee in the road and they began to have some words. Press began to curse the Yankee and the Yankee told him to shut up and if he didn’t he would put a load in him. Press then just dared him to shoot. The Yankee said, “I would shoot you but you are so brazen I will spare you.” Sometimes rather than go home at night Press would crawl under the straw stack and sleep with the hogs.

Sewer Plant Gets Use Permit By daphne McCullough RapiMhaiuock Nm Su» Writer The Rappahannock Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) took the last step in the maze of paper work surrounding Sperryville’s long awaited sewer system and granted a use permit to the county Water and Sewer Authority (WSA) to operate an approved sewer collection and treatment facility in a flood plain. WSA Chairman Maurice Biddle reported that .95 per cent of system constructioh costs will be funded by II.W , ___ Federal grants. “In order to get that money, we have to certify that we have provided the zoning.” Biddle noted that the treatment plant would lie in a flood plaid hut would be protected from flood damage by construction of a five to six-foot high berm, an earth embankment designed for this purpose. The system’s main sewer collection line will run down the Thornton River and a second line will be placed along the river’s north fork, said plant engineer George Long. The two lines will join SIDEWALK SALE 50% to 75% OFF Thurs. - Fri. - Sat. JULY 21.22 & 23 Hundreds of Items to choose from 317 East Mala St. Froat Royal 3HC Flint Hill Firemen's Annua! V?

"It’s the easiest place for it,” he added. > No Flooding Problems In accordance with Health Department requirements, the treatment facility will be situated at least 250 feet from the nearest dwelling, Long said. He described possible problems with flooding that may arise due to the facility’s location as . "relatively minor”, noting the difference in elevation between the two banks of the Thornton River. The sewdr plant side of the river is approximately seven feet higher than the opposite side where the Coop is located, he said, making any chance of flooding “very, very remote.” Long added that the flood plain designation at the plant’s location is “based on soils rather than on past occurance of floods.” The sewage treatment plant’s two lagoons cover approximately an acre in area and will have a water depth of ten feet. Long recommended that they be enclosed by a welded wire fence topped by two strands of barbed wire. He said that plans also call for site screening with two rows of trees to form a complete buffer. “The ground elevation of the lagoons will be approximately 12 feet above the mean water level of the river,” he concluded. “Then a five-foot berm on top of that,” interjected BZA Chairman Josef Gardiner.

The lagoons might look like pools to kids, warned BZA member Jim Massie. Long doubted if problems of kids trying to swim in the treatment lagoons would occur and maintained that the wire; fencing would be * adequate to discourage trespassing. “We could put up a 20-foot high fence and if the kids wanted to get in there, they would.” BZA member Hal Forward asked if plans for the treatment plant had met with any opposition from people in the neighborhood. No Objections From Neighbors “I’ve talked personally to everyone within a half mile . . . No, there is no objection,” Biddle answered. How will plant upkeep be funded? inquired BZA member Herbert Barksdale. Maintenance support has been included into the $6.50 per month user fee, Biddle said.

Barksdale asked if the future impact of the sewer treatment plant on the county’s tax rate had been considered. Self-Supporting Project The Sperryville plant will be a self-supporting project, responded Biddle. “I can’t see that it will have any effect on the tax rate.” He added that he expected the county’s rate to go up over the next few years but not because of Sperryville’s sewage plant. “Tei? chances to one, it will not be self-supporting in two years,” • predicted Admiral Gardner. •* “That’s right,” agreed Barksdale. “In ten years, it will be on the tax payers in Rappahannock County.” Despite their misgivings over future * financial responsibility for the treatment plant, . both Barksdale and Gardner voted with the rest of the 'BZA members in unanimously approving the use permit issuance.^ The BZA also issued a special use permit to Josephine Z. Borkowski for a gift shop in Sperryville adjacent to the 66 gasoline station and approved detailed plans for Country Cupboards’ new cabinet and furniture shop, also to be located in Sperryville.

THURSDAY, JULY 21,1977 Citizen’s Right To Know Government in Virginia is supposed to be conducted in the sunshine, not behind closed doors. A citizen’s right to know how officials conduct the public’s business is protected under the Virginia Freedom of Information Act. Public meetings are to be just that—public and open to the people. All of this was blatantly ignored last week by the Rappahannock Board of Zoning Appeals Mien the BZA members announced that their regularly scheduled, advertized meeting was adjourned. After adjournment, after the departure of all observers, the Board went into executive session and then back into reconvened “open” meeting. For all practical purposes, the meeting was secret. The reconvened session was not a regularly scheduled meeting and so the public had no opportunity to attend. It was no piddly little matter that the BZA members discussed privately. Antique dealer Steve DeMent applied for and was granted a special use permit in April to expand his business in Sperryville. The Board of Zoning Appeals attached certain conditions to the issuance of the permit and apparently, these conditions have been totally ignored. DeMent was warned—verbally by the Zoning Administrator and in writing by the BZA—that the building under construction was in violation of conditions included in the special use permit and contrary to restrictions in the county s Zoning Ordinance. Despite warnings and suspension of his permit, DeMent persisted. The building is now up. It can’t be ignored because adjoining landowners have filed suit against both the BZA and DeMent. During Thursday’s private meeting, the BZA members voted unanimously to revoke DeMent’s special use permit. We doubt if this action will have much effect. It’s not likely that DeMent is going to correct the situation voluntarily. He’d have to tear his building down to do it. So it appears that the BZA members are going to have to tap the county’s general fund to hire a lawyer and try to convince a judge to order the building removed. If interested citizens had been allowed to sit in on the BZA members’ discussion of the DeMent dilemma, someone might have asked why the Board waited so long to take any legal action. Why wasn’t an injunction obtained when it first became obvious that DeMent was ignoring the conditions of his special use permit? The Zoning Administrator insists that there are precedents in Virginia’s strong property rights court system for action that the BZA hopes a judge will take. Houses have been ordered taken down before. We don t doubt that he s right. But it still appears to be a last minute, finger-in-the-dike solution.

Pre-registration is necessary to determine meterial needed for the More Drought Aid Requested Democratic gubernatorial candidate Henry Howell reported in a statement released over the weekend that he has written President Carter, Secretary of Agriculture Bergland and Governor Mills Godwin requesting that they consider making U.S. Department of Agriculture impact aid funds available to Virginia’s drought stricken corn growers. Howell’s statement followed a tour of Fredericksburg cornfields on Saturday, July 16. If approved, U.S.D.A. impact aid would pump funds directly into drought areas to reimburse corn growers for their losses in seed, fertilizer, chemicals and other basic equipment. "It has been estimated that in the 46 counties most adversely affected, 75 to 90 per cent of Virginia’s corn crop has been ruined by drought,” said Howell. “Given the unfortunate situation of a nationwide com surplus this year, and the fact that corn prices are 50 per cent of what they were two years ago, the devastation of Virginia’s corn crop will mean severe economic hardship to our state’s corn growers.” "Com is Virginia’s number one crop,” Howell’s statement continued. He noted that Virginia farmers are presently not entitled to federal crop insurance protection now available to 1,457 out of 3,000 corn* "growing counties nationwide, although Virginia ia the 18th largest corn growing state in the U.S. Howell added that the Carter Administration had asked that all fanners be eligible for federal crop insurance as part of Carter’s national farm bill. If the legislation is passed, Virginia’s farmers will be able to obtain this insurance starting in 1979, said Howell. In the meantime, Howell said he had requested U.S.D.A. impact aid since “there is little relief in immediate sight for our hard pressed com growers.” He noted that the bulk of federal assistance under drought disaster relief programs for 27 affected Virginia counties will aid dairy farmers in the form of hay and transportation of additional feed from other states.

To many people, Old Faithful is the well-known geyser of Yellowstone National Park, projecting a jet of hot water into the air every six minutes. But midway up the mountain toward Virginia’s Skyline Drive, Rappahannock’s own Old Faithful is more important, more interesting and by far a more valuable resource than any periodic display of our western national park. Shenandoah National Park’s Old Faithful is a never-failing gushing artesian spring that pours out its invigorating treasure with utter extravagance. Lacking any glitter of the spectacular, its charm lies in the steady dependable supply of crystal clear water—symbolic evidence of God’s generosity to mankind. Legend has masked all attempts to discover the source, as if the simple gushing supply were sufficient evidence of good will. Pure, sparkling and refrigerated to 46-48 degrees in nature’s own secret depths, it flows from native rock through three man-inserted pipes into an arched basin. Even in a dry season the center pipe will fill a gallon jug in 20-25 seconds. In an era and area of periodic water scarcity where municipalities curtail the free use of water and where diners must request water with their meal, consider the amazing excess of the Old Faithful’s run. The mathematician resorts to his computer, duly impressed with the 3 gallons per minute equal to 180 gallons per hour or 4320 gallons per day just from the center duct, with two others uncalculated. Fancy lends color to the picture of long ago, when weary teams of mules or horses refreshed themselves for the last long pull through Thornton’s Gap and on to the new frontier beyond. Today, the old water trough is gone but the flow continues unrestricted, a gift to every thristy wayfarer—an oasis endowed and registered by the Almighty Himself. Unsung by the travel agencies of Virginia and unnoted by the Old Dominion Chamber of Commer, nevertheless the site is well-known to thousands. To the residents of nearby Sperryville, it is the source of drinking water while to the HAYWOOD JOHNSON of Washington, D. C. comes from his home about every three weeks to get water from the mountain spring near Panorama to take home. He used to buy distilled water for 99 cents a gallon to avoid consuming the chemicals necessary in the city water supply. Now he keeps a supply from the spring which lasts his family for three weeks, so it is no more costly than buying it. He fills the trunk of his car with gallon jugs. Johnson is retired now, so has the time to make the trip and enjoys a ride in the country too. He was formerly an employee at the commissary at Walter Reed. lady from Luray, it has just the proper softness to wash her hair. The motorcycle couple from Kentucky "stop every time they ride the mountain”. Two young men from Buffalo, N. Y., pause for a second cup while a man and wife from Arkansas fill several containers as they recall their home place with three springs. The con- | servationist marvels at the I steady flow seemly going to : waste. The ecologist is ^ delighted to see the crystal *? flow add purity and impetus * to a mountain stream which p feeds the Thornton River, i While the preacher thinks | deeply of a topic for a future | sermon—“and let him that is jj athirst come. And whosoever is will, let him take of the water j| of life freely.” } The fascination of Old ? Faithful is as constant as its i flow, drawing new friends j and old admirers alike. What j a delightful experience to | carry home a free jug of the purest mountain spring jj water. What an. opportunity ! to give thanks and what a challenge to preserve the site as clean as the gift that is given. H.

There are many reasons all of us should get into the habit of recycling. —Recycling saves the depletion of the natural resources in our earth. —Recycling reflects a changing attitude in our country to stop waste. —Recycling saves our county tax dollars by not using the dumpsters for recyclable materials. — Recycling brings proceeds which this year will go toward the building fund of the Washington fire house. I hope more people will make recycling a new habit in their households. It only takes a change toward awareness and a positive attitude to make recycling an The Little Fox easy and good habit. The Washington Recycling Center is located behind Merrill’s in the Town of Washington. Please drive slowly in the alley. Thank you. JUNE JORDAN An Illusion To the editor: There is an illusion in the minds of a few in Rappahannock County that growth is good, that on August 4th at 10 o’clock in the morning, the Board of Supervisors should approve the desecration of another piece of open space. But what do subdivisions indiscriminately scattered all over the county do for us? They: Destroy our ability to use the land for farming, grazing or forestry. Run our taxes ever higher as we try to support the schools, roads and services required. Drive out the Bradford’s and Baldwin’s, the Cash Store and Corner Store and others like them and replace them with Seven-Elevens and McDonalds. Increase crime, noise and pollution, turn our streams into sewers. Fail to provide the middle income housing that we do need around our existing villages. Lower the value of our property as they destroy the scenic beauty of the countryside and eliminate the wild life.

IMA FARMER Carrigan’s Thanked It is satisfying to know that there are citizens like Mr. and Mrs. William Carrigan who so willingly give of themselves to provide enjoyment for those around them. Their annual Fourth of July fireworks presentation has become a Rappahannock tradition enjoyed by many and their recent offering of pond water to any and all who need it during this dry, hot season are representative of their thoughtful concern for others. Their sharing and kindness is appreciated by many. Esther Settle v

RICHY LILLARD and Martha Susan Estes of Sperryville were seeing how the elephant ride operates prior to the opening Wednesday night of the Sperryville Firemen’s benefit carnival. Charlie Estes hurries around helping to whip the carnival grounds into shape for the four-night event. wood Shortage Feared Forestry experts fear a wood shortage if the available land to grow trees continues to shrink. Southern Forest Institute President J. Greeley McGowin II says the South will have to produce 50 per cent of the nation’s wood needs in the next twenty-five years, compared to the present 30 per cent. He said, “the nation faces a steadily decreasing land base—the result of expanding cities, roads, and recreation areas.” McGowin says the South’s forests can meet the challenge with good management. He added that the largest problem, however, is “the non-industrial, private landowner—the little man who owns three out of every four acres of commercial forest lands ip the South.” That’s about 2,000,000 landowners. McGowin says that most individual landowners aren’t Ev. 7:00 - 9:00Sat./Sun. Mar Man the Lifeboats fnr fnnl lOMtl ITIFUII PMli MORSE POWERS SILVERS*® VontHoyal Rt. 55 Incredibly FUNNY!!!! The story of a loser turned winner! ROHyOGM MNCTTEOTMfj managing their woodlands to maximum productivity, and in many cases aren’t replanting after a tree harvest. A recent U. S. Forest Service survey of six Southeastern states reveals an average loss of 500,000 acres of pine forests every year because of improper reforestation after harvest. “If the landowner thinks his trees will grow back all by themselves after they’re harvested, he needs to understand more about forest management,” added McGowin. “If he fears that harvesting will be unsightly and destructive to his land; if he thinks managed forests are counter-productive to his desires for recreation, wildlife and beauty, we must show him how he can produce timber and enjoy income without sacrificing those other things that are important to him.’’ McGowin also calls on Mate <x reaerai governments to come up with improved cost-share programs and tax incentives to encourage landowners to begin “tree farming.” Industry already supports the American Tree Farm System to stimulate interest in improving forest management. About 20,000 Tree Farmers in the South have benefited through higher productivity added the SFI President. “If every woodland owner would look into the American Tree Farm Program or other forest-management programs offered by industry or government, America wouldn’t have to worry about a wood shortage.” McGowin pointed out that industry and government lands are typically well-managed, but together they own only a fourth of the South’s forest. He concluded, “We have the land base to get the job done in the South—some 204,000,000 acres. We have the technical know-how. If we don’t get on the stick we’ll have nobody to blame but ourselves. Trees are a renewable resource that we don’t have to rely on anyone else to supply.” Lyt Wood, Virginia Division of Forestry agent for Rappahannock, reported that the county has 106,495 acres lin forest land, according to a tr&&$$(WT(QOeS V FURNITURE RESTORWGNftEmt REFIRI5HW6 FRESH MV DKEP HERRS,FLMTERS,HERMLSOOK^TEA ACCESSORIES ANTIQUES , MOSS mn DC aomuE rest owe ijv&Vfeto’ HOURS. fa-VtP I0A.H-5W Ffa-Sw i ah-bin 1976 survey conducted by the U.S. Forestry Service. Of that total, 75,000 acres are commercial, privately-owned land and 31,739 acres lie within the boundary of Shenandoah National Park. Total forest acreage comprises approximately 60 per cent of Rappahannock’s total land area, said Wood. He reported that forest land acreage had increased four per cent between 1966 and 1976 over the Piedmont region as a whole. About 300 acres of trees were planted last spring in Rappahannock County under the Virginia Division of Forestry’s reforestation program, said Wood. As an encouragement for replanting, state nurseries supply loblolly and white pine and yellow poplar in minimum orders of 500 trees, he said. He added that wildlife trees such as persimmon, bristly locust and autumn olive are also available in packets of 25. Seedlings are sold at cost, he continued, and in some cases, the forestry nursery will match half of the seedling costs. Most of the county’s reforestation work has been done in “old field situations” on abandoned farmland, said Wood. “If you’re not going to farm, the best thing to do is plant trees,” he concluded. —I—I— Traveling in Style In 1870 the first railroad train crossed the American continent. The train’s baggage car carried five ice closets and a printing press; its smoking car contained a game room, wine room, barbershop, and newspaper office, and the remaining sleeping cars, drawing room cars, and dining cars included two library rooms and two organs, says the National Geographic Society’s book, “Railroads: The Great American Adventure.” Rappahannock News, Washington, Va. Thursday, July 21, 1977 Law Equalizes Women’s Credit R ights Credit is difficult to obtain if you have never had it. But numerous women who have become widowed, divorced or separated have found that they had this problem even though thay had shared credit with their spouses, said Glen H. Mitchell, Virginia Tech Extension specialist in consumer education. The problem often has been that reports to credit bureaus were made only in the husband’s name, and the bureau would have no information under the wife’s name, he added. With the passing of the Equal Opportunity Act, a married woman has the right to establish her own credit record based on jointly held credit accounts. Mitchell described the act as one which is intended to protect against discrimination in giving credit because of a person’s sex, marital status, race, national origin, religion, or receipt of public assistance, such as aid to families with dependent children. Beginning June 1, 1977, creditors who provide information to credit bureaus on how you pay your bills must let them know both names on accounts you share, explained the consumer education specialist. For new accounts the creditor will automatically report in both names and accounts established before June 1, the creditor must either check the credit application or before Oct. 1, send you a form asking if you want the credit information provided in both your names, stated Mitchell. If you’re a married woman, it’s important that you fill out this form so you will have a credit history if you are divorced or widowed, he added. Bible School There will be a Vacation Bible School sponsored jointly by the Washington Baptist Church, Trinity Episcopal Church, and the Washington Methodist Church August 8-12 from 9:30 a.m.-11:30 a.m. On Monday and Tuesday, it will be held at the Washington Baptist Church; on Wednesday and Thursday, it will be held at the Episcopal Church and on Friday, it will be held at the Recreation Center.

The Butler’s Wednesday Disaster Change Proposed At a meeting in Harrisonburg on July 13, Congressman J. Kenneth Robinson told members of the Rockingham Farm Bureau that he “.will support an amendment during the next week’s House debate on the farm bill to make disaster payments for 1977 wheat and corn apply to planted acreage rather than to allotments.” “It makes a whole lot more sense to make disaster payments based on the actual acreage planted rather than on an outmoded, unrealistic allotment assigned by the government some years back on a smaller acreage, and kit would be of much- gre&Sr help to corn growers who have lost their crops in this year's drought,” Robinson observed. “I hope we’re successful in enacting the amendment into law, particularly in view of the fact the proposed farm bill would make such a change anyway applicable in and after the 1978 crop year. “As our farmers are sadly discovering,” Robinson explained, ‘‘the disaster provisions of present farm law are wholly inadequate and inequitable. Crop insurance is not available.

Even larger fanners have a tough time getting through a disaster when they’ve invested $75,000 to $100,000 on a single year’s land preparation and planting,” Robinson maintained. “While the proposed protection is far from perfect,” Robinson noted, “it would help to tide over many farmers who might otherwise be forced off their holdings in time of natural disaster.” Robinson reported he has been keeping in touch with the Department of Agriculture and the Federal Disaster Assistance Admihistratkm, «ihd hai'been assured that' relatively prompt action can be expected on Governor Mills Godwin’s disaster aid request.

I Virginia Traffic Deaths' Continue Downward I Virginia, which achieved an unprecedented fourth consecutive year in the reduction of motor-vehicle traffic deaths in 1976, could be on its way to an even more significant accomplishment in 1977. Colonel D. M. Slane, Superintendent of State Police, announced today that tentative six-month statistics for the current year indicate 462 persons have lost their lives on Virginia highways since January 1. The State has not had a lower sixmonth total since 1963 when 449 traffic deaths were recorded. Cathy Ann's Mini Mall, Front Royal Cheese Wine Health Foods SIDEWALK SPECIALS Main St. Front Royal “Although 462 deaths are still far too many,” said Colonel Slane, “the reduction in traffic deaths does indicate travel on our highways is becoming safer.” After the first six months of 1976, 474 deaths had been recorded. The end-of-the-year mark was 1,020. Pedestrian deaths are also down, 74 thus far this year compared to 80 during a similar period last year. Motorcycle deaths for the first six months stand at 22 compared to 25 a year ago, but there was an increase in cpn/ippmon The most alarming statistic is that bicycle deaths for the first six months increased to 11 from 4 in 1976. “It’s very satisfying to be able to announce reductions in motor vehicle deaths during a period when our traffic volume has risen almost five per cent,” said Colonel Slane, “but it is sad to report the deaths of 462 persons.

Every Virginian Should Have Birth Certificate “A birth certificate in the hands of every Virginian bom on or after June 14, 1912” is the objective of a joint effort between the Social Security Administration and the State Department of Health. In announcing the project, Deane Huxtable, State Registrar, and Bruce Hundley, Social Security Branch Manager in Culpeper, saud their combined efforts are designed to reduce the hardship encountered by individuals unable to produce their birth certificates. “Virginia began recording births on June 14, 1912,” Huxtable said, “and anyone born after that date should have a birth certificate or at least have had us search the records for one. In many cases where the birth occurred at home the attending physician or mid-wife may not have had the birth propertly registered.” “But,” Hundley noted, “many individuals have misplaced their birth certificates and come into the Social Security Office unprepared. Since Social Security’s rules require you to furnish a birth certificate if one was recorded for you, this adds a delay in processing the Social Security claim which could have been avoided.” Hundley also mentioned that this advice applies to the young as well as to those of retirement age since evidence of age is also often needed in issuing Social Security numbers to youngsters, or when filing for children’s benefits as a child of a retired, disabled, or deceased worker. Those who don’t have a copy of their birth certificate should obtain one by completing the request form (VS-6). This form is available from City and County Health Departments, Court Clerk’s Forage Council Organized Virginia forage producers, agribusiness interests and others concerned with the 4.3 million acres of pasture, hay and silage produced in Virginia, have formed an organization to support the state’s forage industry. A group of 26 producers, agribusiness representatives and agency personnel met at Alton recently to discuss the need for a Virginia Forage and Grassland Council, and adopted by-laws for its organization on July 9. Twelve directors were elected to serve until an official election can be held at the organization’s first membership meeting.

The same is true of marriage certificates, death certificates, and other necessary papers.” Huxtable also noted that Social Security is not the only agency who requires a birth certificate as the Veteran’s Administration, schools, and many others have similar requirements. “It just makes good sense,” he said, “to get your copy and then to safeguard it in a readily available place.” We’re Fighting for Your Life !

God never intended for a woman to usurp her authority over the man. I Tim 2:12. In public worship the woman is to learn in silence. The woman is not to assume that she has every right the man has to speak or hold office in the local assembly. The woman has no right to think that she can fill the office of Bishop or Pastor. She is to learn in silence, I Tim 2:11 says in the Word of God. Even under the law women are forbidden to speak in a public assembly. I Cor 14:34-35. I would be the last person on earth to abuse a godly woman but a truly believing woman has no desire to usurp her authority over godly men in God’s church. You can mark it down and believe it, when a woman wants to dictate to and dominate the men in the church that woman is not right with God and the men that sit under a woman’s preaching are also not right with God. Men are to pray in a public meeting says the scripture in I Tim 2:8, “I would therefore men pray.” Women should adorn the doctrine (truth) in silence. V9. There are places in the church for women to teach young ladies, not men. Titus 2:1-5. Aquila and Priscilla in Acts 18:26, this dear couple took A polios to themselves and instructed him in the ways of God more perfectly, he only knowing the baptism of John. Acts 18:25. The Bible has much to say about godly women. Matt 1:18-25 Mary the mother of Jesus the Saviour of the world. Luke 8:1-3 Mary Magdalene, Joanna and Susanna ministered to Jesus of their substance (physical needs). The home that Jesus went to often in Bethany, Mary and Martha. John 12:1-3. Preachers have qualifications to meet and women cannot meet these. I Tim 3:1-5. “Husband” ruleth well “his” own house. The Bible says the woman is to be subject to her husband, the man is the head of the house. Gen 3:16, and also the church-why? I Tim 2:1314. Titus l:6-9-v.9 “He” V6 “husband of one wife” V8 lover of good men. Praise God. All pastors should hold high regards for godly men of their church. From the Pastor’s Desk Rev. C. R.

HARRISONBURG 434-5326 LEGAL NOTICES NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF PROPOSED RATE INCREASE AND AMENDMENT TO FUEL ADJUSTMENT CLAUSE OF POTOMAC EDISON COMPANY Notice Is hereby given that on May 31, 1977, Potomac Edison Company filed with the State Corporation Commission of Virginia an application requesting a $3,825,380 permanent increase in its rates and charges for electric service. The Commission has suspended the effective date of the proposed rate changes and has scheduled a public hearing on the application in its Courtroom in the Blanton Building, Richmond, Virginia, commencing at 10:00 a.m. on October 4, 1977. The application seeks a permanent rate increase above the level of existing rates and seeks to make permanent the existing temporary rate increase heretofore authorized by the Commission to become effective May 1, 1977. Copies of the application and the proposed schedule of rates and charges may be reviewed in the Clerk's Office of the Commission or at any office of the Company where bills may be paid. On or before August 1, 1977, the Company will file with the Clerk of the Commission ten copies of the prepared testimony and exhibits of each witness it intends to present in direct testimony in support of Company's application. Copies of all such testimony and exhibits will be available for review on and after August 1, 1977, in the Clerk's Office of the Commission or at any office of the Company where bills may be paid. On or before August 15, 1977, all persons who expect to submit evidence at the public hearing as a party Protestant, and to cross-examine Company witnesses, must file and serve a Notice of Protest in conformity with the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure. On or before September 15, 1977, the Commision's Staff and all persons who have filed a Notice of Protest and who still expect to participate at the hearing as a party Protestant must file ten copies of all prepared testimony and exhibits of the witnesses to be offered at the hearing, and shall serve a copy thereof upon counsel for the Company and upon all other Protestants requesting same.

All such persons will be heard as expeditiously as possible, beginning at 10:00 a.m., or shortly thereafter, on that date. In order that the Commission may hear from the maximum number of persons desiring to make a statement, all public witnesses are requested to limit their oral comments to seven minutes.
