Rappahannock News, July 28, 1977

* 28th Year, No. 36 10 Pages THURSDAY, JULY 28,1977 Washington, Virginia Phone 675-3349 15' 125 Anniversary Celebrated Woodville Baptist Church will celebrate its 125th anniversary on Sunday, July 31, with the dedication of a new gothic steeple erected to house the original bell. According to Raymond Johnson, oldest active member of the church, Sunday’s program will be in three parts. At 10:30, a special church service will be conducted by the former pastor, the Rev. George Bowman, III. This will be followed by dinner on the grounds. At 1:30, Master of Ceremonies B. L. Price will direct the dedication of the steeple. George Beard of Culpeper will make the dedication speech. Months of planning have gone into the day’s activities. Revival services will start Monday evening at 8 p.m. and continue through Friday with the Rev. Ronald Wiley of Sperryville as guest speaker. The Rev. B. Gale Titchenell, starting his 18th year as minister to the Woodville congregation,, will have a special, candle-light communion service on Saturday night, July 30, to dedicate the commemorative medallions that will be given to each person attending on Sunday. In 1852, when the church was started, candles and oil lamps were used to light the church. These will be recreated for the communion service. Woodville Baptist Church has struggled against many odds to keep alive. In 1929, the church building was destroyed by a freak tornado. In spite of the great depression, the church members worked together to rebuild the church and to pay off the indebtedness. So it has been with the steeple. Money is available; work is underway. A commemorative plaque listing those who have given and a new carpet for the church are additional projects that are also underway. The public is invited to come to the anniversary services and help the parishoners commemorate the steeple dedication. A special invitation is extended to anyone having roots in Woodville. Planners To Act On Loophole The Rappahannock Planners decided at the Commission meeting last Wednesday to begin action on closing a recently discovered loophole in the county Zoning Ordinance. Planner Newbill Miller informed the Planners at the June Commission meeting that the ordinances included no minimum lot size for RS 1 subdivisions. He warned that this omission allowed land rezoned to RS 1 to be platted in one-acre lot size instead of five acres or 25 acres if the developer put in an approved water and sewer system. At last week’s meeting, Miller emphasized the ambiguity of county ordinances while restating the need for adding a minimum RS 1 lotnze.^ He noted that section of the Subdivision Ordinance requires rezoning to a residential designation for any subdivision containing more than five lots. Apparent Conflict Section 6-9-1 of the ordinance implies that only subdivisions with lots smaller than 25 acres have to be rezoned, said Miller. He added that section 6-1 of the Zoning Ordinance also implies that 25-acre lot subdivisions do not have to be rezoned. Miller maintained that it was the intent of the ordinance to exempt 25-acre lot development from meeting the rezoning requirement. However, he stated that he would go along with the current interpretation if the ordinance was amended to include a minimum lot size in RS 1 zones. He also suggested that the Zoning Ordinance allow for two separate RS 1 zones—one 25acre lot size and one 5-acre lot size. Miller advised the Planners to act on the loophole immediately. He said a minimum lot size amendment could be adopted the next time the Planners considered a rezoning. “I think the mechanics will allow that...It’s got to be done.” He declined to put his suggestions in the form of a motion. “I want to talk to George (Commonwealth Attorney George Davis) before I make a formal recommendation,” (that the Zoning Ordinance be amended) he said. Instead the Planners unanimously adopted a resolution to study the possibility of amending the ordinance with the assistance of Commonwealth Attorney Davis. Good Point “That’s a very good point, young man,” said Planner George Muth, complimenting Miller on his uncovering the ordinance loophole. “Thank you, sir. I appreciate the young man more than I do the good point,” answered Miller with a wide grin. 4-H Swim Party An afternoon for swimming has been arranged for all 4-H members, families and friends at South Wales Pool, Jeffersonton on Tuesday, August 2 from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. Transportation must be arranged by individuals and all children under 10 must be accompanied by an adult.

Mrs. Quaintance Completes 48 Years Of The Three R’s By DAPHNE McCULLOUGH Rappahannock Near* Staff Writer For the first time in almost half a century, Mary Botts Quaintance will not be greeting Rappahannock students when school opens in the fall. After 48 years in the county school system, she retired as principal of the elementary school on July 1. There aren’t many Rappahannock natives under 60 who went through public schools here without knowing Mrs. Quaintance. Since 1929, she has taught fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grades plus classes in high school and has been an elementary principal. Sometimes, the jobs overlapped. She was both teacher and principal at the old Sperryville Elementary School. “1 shared a seventh grade class with the librarian. I didn’t have a secretary or assistant principal or anything...But we didn’t have the paperwork that we have now,” she added. She taught before the state Standards of Quality that regulate class size were adopted. "One year, I had SO children all day long in eighth grade. Sometimes I wonder how we got them all in one room.” Despite class size, Mrs. Quaintance reported that she had few difficulties maintiming discipline. She began her first year in Rappahannock schools teaching an eighth grade class that included several “big, bad boys.” She used a switch on a vvupiv VI 111VIU JUJl vuv time—the first, last and only time that she had to resort to corporal punishment in her classroom. “As long as a teacher has a sense of humor and is fair and as long as the child knows that you really like him, you don’t have many problems,” she explained. Children are receptive to discipline and want rules and behavior guidelines, she believes. Although she has seen many changes in the Rappahannock school system, most relate to facilities, programs and the involvement of state and federal government. Mrs. Quaintance doesn’t think that kids here are any different now than they were a half century ago. “I really don’t think there’s been much change...There are more children who seem not to have pride in the quality of their work but I’m not sure Special Meeting Rappahannock Superintendent of Schools Dr. William Bloomer has announced that the School Board will hold a special meeting on Thursday, July 28 at 8 p.m. in the elementary school to discuss transportation policies and problems. t the percentage is higher. It just might be that there are simply more children in school.” “Country children are different than children in urban areas...They’re better behaved, friendlier,” said Mrs. Quaintance. Because of student attitudes, she feels Rappahannock County has been successful in hiring and keeping good elementary teachers. When speaking of her years in education, Mrs. Quaintance sounds most satisfied when she talks about her work with the school’s dental program. ‘T’ve always been interested in getting dental work done...(ever since) I taught pretty seventh grade girls and good looking boys with rotten teeth.” The first arrangements she made were with dentists in Culpeper. She enticed unwilling children into making the trio hv lettino thf»m ri in the rumble seat of her car. “They had rumble seats in those days,” she added. Later, school buses were used to haul students to three or four different Culpeper dentists, she said. “From 1930 until consolidation at the new elementary school in 1969, May Day was also Health Day in Rappahannock,” continued Mrs. Quaintance. “Only those children who had their teeth checked could be in the program...The May Queen was chosen from the seventh grade girls who had their teeth fixed, the attendants and ushers all had to have had their teeth checked too.” Besides encouraging good dental hygiene, she added that Health Day also gave an opportunity for participation to a lot of children who ordinarily didn’t take part in extracurricular activities. “The state supplied dental equipment still sits in an office in the elementary school but lacks an operator,” said Mrs. Quaintance. “We can’t find a dentist to come anymore. In the past, the head of the Richmond Dental School was a great help in keeping the clinic in operation,” she said. “He found dental school graduates who were at least willing to come to the county until they established a practice elsewhere. I reckon over the years eight or ten came and looked and decided to go on to larger towns.” Mrs. Quaintance had some parting advice to offer Rappahannock teachers and administrators. “The best thing that a teacher or principal can do is get to know parents. When I first taught, I visited every child’s home.” She acknowledged that this personal contact was easier when the county had neighborhood schools. She noted that her work had been made easier by the help of others involved in the Rappahannock school system. “The teachers here are very conscientious and very cooperative and the parents too. I think the parents here are unusually cooperative.” She added that she considered herself lucky with the type of administration she has taught under. “I’ve had very good relations with the School Board too,” she said. Probably the reason for all these effective working relationships lies with the extra effort expended by Mrs. Quaintance rather than with luck. She has taken the time to attend School Board meetings for the last several years, staying to the bitter end of many marathon midnight sessions. She said this wasn’t always the case. A couple of years ago, she was asked by a new teacher if she planned to attend the Board meeting. Mrs. Quaintance replied that she only went when there was an item on the agenda that applied directly to her school. “Do you think I should go?” she asked the teacher. After getting yes for an answer, she has sat in regularly on School Board sessions. It’s likely that she has put forth this extra effort in her relationships with parents and teachers also. Mrs. Quaintance should be able to look back over her half century in education with pride. If her instincts are right, she has accomplished something that few teachers can match. “During all my years here, I only had one child that I felt I never reached." Rainfall Increases Heavy rains over the last two weeks have brought the precipitation total for July up to the usual monthly average, according to readings taken at Miss Ruby Jenkin’s weather station in Washington. She reports that 3.98 inches of rain have fallen to date, during the month. Beef Referendum The preliminary result of the 1977 Beef Referendum for Virginia show that the order was disapproved. Of the 5,185 votes cast, 2,640 voted for the order and 2,545 voted against the order. At least 50 per cent of the registered voters cast a ballot; however, the order was not approved by more than two-thirds of the producers casting valid ballots. The order was defeated in Rappahannock County with 10 producers voting for the order and 58 producers voting against the order. Burke Resigns The Rappahannock Welfare Board breezed through a short agenda in open session at last Friday’s meeting. In the major item of business, Social Services Director Elizabeth Buntin formally submitted eligibility workers Becky Burke’s resignation and asked for emergency approval to have office assistant Nancy Reeve fill the position. Mrs. Buntin said she accepted Mrs. Burke’s resignation with regret. “I hate to see her leave,” agreed Board member Aline Johnson. "It will be hard to fill her position with someone as capable as Becky is now...But I can’t say that I blame her.” $$ Mrs. Buntin noted that Mrs. Burke had organized -y • rs* KCiB1?! the county’s food stamp program and administered it since it began. With Mrs. Burke’s resignation, Mrs. Buntin said she felt fortunate to have Nancy Reeve to take over responsibility for the food stamps. The Board unanimously approved the emergency appointment. Mrs. Burke said later that her decision to leave the Rappahannock Welfare Department was based primarily on her disagreement with the Board on salary decisions, “the latest of which was not to allow a cost of living increase.” Mrs. Burke explained that this meant her salary stayed the same as that of a new employee with the same qualifications as hers but no experience. “I felt five and a half years of experience should count for something,” she said. Two years ago, the state recommended granting a 12 per cent cost of living increase and the county Welfare Board approved only six per cent for Department employees, she continued. When the state recommended a six per cent increase this year, the Board didn’t approve anything, she said. Mrs. Burke added that the county’s share of the proposed increases would have amounted to only 20 per cent of the total. Mrs. Burke said she had applied for and accepted a position with the Madison Welfare Department where she will be filling the same job description at a considerable salary increase.

Jackson Front Royal, Va. 635-3055 making an efficient fire and rescue department,” says Charlie N. Manson, vicepresident of the Washington Company. With these comments in mind, one can see that the Washington Volunteer Fire Department is in need of financial support from the local community. In 1937 a bucket brigade was formed with an old fashioned hose reel. Later on in 1941, a firehouse on Gay Street was constructed. The two-story two-bay building houses their National Safety Council Yellow 1947 Mack 500 gallon fire truck and in the other bay is the storage room for the Washington Fire and Rescue Auxiliary’s Thrift Shop.

Thrift Shop go to the firerescue company. But because the firehouse is limited to only two bays, their only ambulance is kept outside the building 24 hours. Frustrated C. N. Manson said, “We can’t even buy a new fire truck because it wouldn’t fit in the building.” But that isn’t the present problem. For over two years the members of the company have been working on the construction of their new firehouse located on five acres near Route 211 on the southeastern part of town because they still have a volunteer labor shortage. The company figures they need roughly between $25,000$30,000 to complete the new brick building which will hold 4 to 5 vehicles and will have adequate facilities for banquets and for other community uses. The volunteer company operates on an annual $12,000 budget.

Hobson. The Washington Volunteer Fire and Rescue has 8 certified EMT’s (Emergency Medical Technician) and the company serves the areas of, Rock Mills, Rediviva, Harris Hollow, Tiger Valley, Five Forks, and Massies Comer, and part of Fodderstock Road. As for the construction of the new firehouse, C.N.

Hints For Beating The Heat Sweating, withering and wincing through 90-plus degree temperatures, Virginians are enduring water and power shortages while farmers are watching their crops being parched by pressure-cooker weather. From Virginia Beach to Roanoke,'- Bristol to Alexandria, many are wondering how to survive. Dr. Melvin Williams knows how. The professor of health and physical education is director of research at Old Dominion University’s Human Performance Laboratory, where the physiological effects of drugs, alcohol, exercise and other phenomena are gauged. He says to avoid heat exhaustion, heat stroke, or muscle cramps one should wear light clothing, avoid exercising in extreme heat or id uic sun, arms water ana other fluids, and know one’s physical limitations. recognize the body has limitations,” says Williams. “When exercising we are generating more heat and adding to heat stress, and we are increasing the likelihood of fainting or suffering from heat exhaustion and from stroke. The primary means of heat loss for the body is through sweating, which means a loss of body fluids. Recently, after running a marathon in North Carolina, I consumed 16 eight-ounce glasses of Gatorade—four quarts of fluid. This partially replaced the salt and fluid I had lost, but if you drink Gatorade, you should not take salt tablets to replace salt lost. In fact tablets aren’t necessary unless one has lost more than six pounds, and then one should take only one salt tablet for every two pounds lost. Losing body salt can cause heat cramps, but salt should be replaced only with adequate fluid intake. Salt loss combined with fluid loss can cause heat exhaustion,” Williams says. “Water depletion heat exhaustion resembles fainting and is caused by inadequate circulation to the brain,” he adds. “The skin usually becomes pale, cool, clammy, and is profuse with sweat. Heat exhaustion may incapacitate for a few hours, but it is usually responsive to treatment consisting primarily of cooling the individual in a reclining position. Mild stimulants such as iced coffee or tea may also be used. The individual should rest and be observed for several hours to prevent a relapse.” Heat Stroke Is Serious Far more serious is heat stroke. Stroke can damage the brain, liver and heart, and happens when sweating stops and body heat builds up to intolerable levels—for some up to 110 degrees. Stroke victims should be removed from the sunshine, wrapped in a cold towel or made cool as rapidly as possible, and taken to a hospital immediately. But stroke can be avoided by common sense. “When out on the beach or exercising, you should notice how much you are sweating. If you stop sweating, then you’re in trouble and should stop exercising, get out of the heat and consume fluids.” says Williams. He also recommends avoiding the heat and sun entirely from 11 a.m. until 4 Sunburn m§kn the even more difficult. ExerdM Advice “If you must exercise in the sun, take frequent breaks and work in the shade as much as possible,” says Williams. He says athletes can grow accustomed to exercising in the heat by gradually building up their tolerance over seven to 10 days. Eventually the athlete will sweat more, which will facilitate less salt loss and more heat loss. Sometimes reaction to heat is governed by age, sex or weight. “Anyone who is obese feels heat more because fat serves as a sort of insulation that retards dissipation of heat,” he says. “Some researchers speculate that females suffer more from the heat because of their lower and slower sweat production and the greater percentage of fat in their body weight. Females cannot seem to withstand exercising in the heat as well as males tolerate it. Some research also shows older people are more prone to heat stress, which may be due to the circulatory problems and lower tolerance !*••••••••••• Scott Hardware • Complete Line • of • Hardware J COME SEEUS * Main Street ? • Front Royal, Va. # PUBLIC AUCTION Thursday Night July 28 Beginning at 7:30p.m. Located At JENKINS' AUCTION HOUSE Washinton, Va.

But no one is exempt. Heat exhaustion is the most common heatinduced affliction in man. Even top-flight athletes will suffer the consequences of heat illnesses if they exercise too severely or too long in the heat. In the extreme, heat stroke can be fatal,” says Williams. Birth Announced Mr. and Mrs. Michael D. Bentley of Tucson, Ariz., announce the birth of a son, Christopher Drummond, on July 23, 1977. Dr. and Mrs. Edwin M. Eastham Jr. of Front Royal are the maternal grandparents of the baby. Mr. and Mrs. Bentley are former residents of Rose Hill, Washington, Va. r by which land parcels ate numbered and identified by location/’ Smoot explained. Anyone can locate a piece of property on county maps by using the geocode number, recorded on the deed said Smoot, adding that the geocode system was easier than “going to Mrs. Smith’s office and having her look it up. Smoot reported that he had finished recording geocode numbers for all parcels except some of the subdivisions and had worked out cost figures on the project. The time spent on each parcel was approximately one and half minutes, or three cents, with a total of $149.50 for geocoding all the county parcels, said Smoot. He maintained that the geocode system would make the Commissioner of Revenue’s job easier and recommended that the Planners accept use of the system immediately before his work was outdated. Planner Newbill Miller commented that he could see benefits in adopting the system if the county goes to computers for tax billing and other records. Otherwise, he predicted it would require more time rather than save time. Piedmont Vocational School has a computer available for use by the county, volunteered Planner Walter Masterson. The problem with adopting r1 the new geocode system is that two people hare to accept lt*s use—the Clerk of the Court and 'the Com* missioner of Revenue, said Planner Pete Luke. “If they don’t want it, they’re not going to use it,’’ he added. Luke agreed to explore the possibility of using computer facilities at Piedmont for county records and bills and Miller volunteered to help him present the geocode proposal to the Commissioner of Revenue and Clerk of the Court, if the use of Piedmont’s computer was feasible.

Godwin Jr. took action on three fronts during the past week to help wide areas of Virginia where farmers and others are suffering from the state’s worst drought since 1930. The action included: —Discussions with White House aide Jack Watson and Thomas Dunn, Director of the Federal Disaster Assistance Administration, asking prompt approval of Federal livestock feed subsidies for farmers in 42 counties, where total crop losses have been set at $152,613,348. This was a follow-up to a previous request. —Authorization for two localities to impose water conservation measures, and assurances that the same authorization would be forthcoming for other localities which may face water shortages. —Appointment of a task force of State officials to monitor the drought and related problems daily and to advise him of other action needed by the State government to provide help. At the same time, the governor urged Virginia citizens to conserve water and electricity in order to avert more critical problems. Action already taken by the Federal Interagency Drought Emergency Coordinating Committee has declared 56 counties and 23 adjacent cities eligible for grant and low-interest loan programs for water conservation and development and for crop business losses. A requested Presidential declaration which would authorize Federal subsidies of 2 cents a pound to help farmers buy feed for livestock is expected shortly. Governor Godwin said he had been told by the Richmond office of the Federal Farmers Home Administration that it could use considerable flexibility in judging eligibility of farmers for loans to cover crop and livestock losses, and that applicants need not be extreme credit risks to qualify. By the past weekend, the Governor had declared local water emergencies to exist in the towns of Woodstock and Louisa because of the prolonged drought conditions. He said he would not hesitate to take similar action for other localities facing water shortages. The action authorizes local governing officials to impose necessary water conversation measures “to ensure an adequate supply of water for essential uses, to protect the public health and safety, and alleviate possible suffering caused by this situation.’’ In other action, the Governor appointed an eleven-member Drought Emergency Task Force to provide him with advance warning of any severe worsening of the situation and to permit him to take additional action if necessary. Maurice B. Rowe, the State’s Secretary of Administration and Finance, was appointed chairman of the task force, which also includes representatives of the State’s agriculture, health, water, public utility, and emergency services agencies.

An examination of records in the Rappahannock Zoning Administrators office indicate that Steve DeMent has complied with stipulations listed in his building permit for the construction of his new building in Sperryville. DeMent’s special use permit issued for the building was first suspended by the Board of Zoning Appeals in June and at the BZA’s July meeting, the permit was revoked. The BZA members have indicated that their action is based on DeMent’s non-compliance with provisions attached to his special use permit—specifically, a setback requirement that stipulates the new structure must be 50 feet from the adjoining property line and a requirement that the new structure be an extension of the existing facility. The building constructed by DeMent is located 50 feet from Route 522 but considerably less than that distance from the Stuckey s adjoining property. It is also an independent structure, joined to the existing facility by a “breezeway.” While the special use permit issued to DeMent on April 14 stipulates that the 70 foot by 40 foot garage and storage area addition must extend from the existing building, it does not specifically address setback requirements. Indirectly, the matter of setback requirement may be covered. If the new 70 foot building were attached to the existing budding, then it would also have to be a good deal further from the Stuckey 8 property—probably even 50 feet. However, this is not set out in absolutes on the permit. By contrast, the building permit issued to DeMent is very precise and the information included on it appears to be directly at odds with contentions made by the BZA that DeMent is in violation. H he’s violating something, it’s not the conditions of his building permit. Hie permit states that the new structure is to be located 20 feet from the Stuckey’s property line and joined to the existing facility by a breezeway, 24 feet by 12 feet. It also carries a hand written notation that states “this permit is issued in consonance with the decision made by the Board of Zoning Appeals on April 14.’’ The Zoning Administrator may be right—the special use permit, vague as it appears to be, may take precedence over the subsequently issued building permit with its very precise conditions. However, the issue isn’t going to be settled outside of court—either with the BZA as complaintant in a suit against DeMent or as defendent in a suit brought by the adjoining property owners for violation of county ordinances in the issuance of the permit. It looks like an expensive solution that might have been avoided by closer attention from both the Administrator’s office in issuing the building permit and from the BZA members in not seeking to stop construction of a building that was going up in clear violation of their intentions. Small Businesses Have £(< ' . - , . , ‘ ’ .1 ;>,)■) ' ill <• If you’re tired of the hassles at work and think you want to be your own boss, investigate before you incorporate. According to the director of Virginia Commonwealth University’s new small business development program, Dr. George W. Rimler, most people don’t know what they are getting into when they open their own business. Consequently, the failure rate of small business is outrageously high, Rimler pointed out. “Small business is the backbone of the American enterprise system,’’ Rimler noted. “Contrary to what most people think, small businesses, not big corporations, account for 95 per cent of all business units in the United States, 37 per cent of the gross national product and employ 42 per cent of the work force.” “While small business plays a major role in the American economy, it is also subject to a high rate of failure. Within five years, 80 to 90 per cent of new businesses are gone. Some are absorbed or merged. But generally speaking, most of them fail,” Rimler added. According to Rimler, the high failure is due largely to poor business management such as failure to keep business records, lack of experience, insufficient stock, etc. But another important factor in business failure, according to the small business specialist, is that the novice doesn’t understand the philosophy behind the small business concept. “Many people never ask themselves how their business is going to be unique. If a person goes into a small business only to duplicate what big business is doing, he’s dead. You have to realize you can’t out stomp ail elephant,” Rimler said. “The small businessman has to ask himself what he has that other businesses don’t have.” The second major fundamental reason for failure is that the small businessman often doesn’t recognize the unique assets of the small business organization. “A small business can do things that larger businesses 'can not do. The ssmU business is more equipped to cater to certain groups, localize services, specialize and personalize services. Often small businessmen try to run their operations the way large businesses are run. And you just can’t play somebody else’s game,” Rimler said. “Instead the small businessman should ‘outcompete’ by tailoring his services and goods. Often he can hire better people, not by offering them more money, but by offering them experience in a growing concern, rapid involvement, and ownership potential. Also the small businessman can gain customers through his community involvement. These are the things that big business has trouble doing,” Rimler said. Another pitfall for small business, according to Rimler, is the method of financing. When a business is financed solely on bank loans, the small businessman is often overwhelmed by his debts. And according to Rimler, the chance of failure is higher than it would be if other financial sources were tapped. “Investments from other people are much more beneficial. For one thing, you don’t have to pay the bank so much every month. The other benefit is that jW get more people involved un the business,” Rimler noted. Anotner common mmaxc novice businessmen make is that they don’t get as much financing as they need. “If it is determined that X amount of money is needed for a successful first year, the novice often will opt for getting 75 per cent of that amount, thinking that this will carry him through. It’s just not so. Borrowing two thirds of the amount you need is like having two thirds of an operation,” Rimler said. Rimler also advises anyone going into business to hire an accountant. “An accountant is a must. Failure to keep proper records is often cited as one of the biggest problems 1 of the small business. The inexperienced businessman thinks that records will mean paying more money to the government. Actually it works in a» rrere. Mm rod, records wc unportent so vn trends can be analyzed, so that proper inventories can be kept, and so that the store owner knows exactly what he needs,” Rimler said. The most important thing to keep in mind, according to Rimler, is that having your own business won’t solve the problems of the world. “Often people have a frustrating day at work and decide that they want to open their own business. That’s fine. But you have to remember you’re getting into a whole set of new problems. While the work may be more satisfying, it won’t mean less work or fewer headaches.

Flint Hill Auxiliary Meeting ‘V!# The Flint Hill Ladles’ Auxiliary will hold Its regular meeting Tuewiay, August 2, at 7 pan. at the Flint HID Letters To The Editor Judge Not To the editor: I am writing in regard to a recent paid announcement found in this paper. It was in reference to women ministers, or to be more specific, the woman minister of the Methodist churches in the area. Frankly, I think someone’s male chauvinism is showing. What this comes down to is simply different interpretations of the Bible. This is the reason why there are so many different religions found in the world today. I’m sure everyone feels very strongly about their personal religious beliefs, but no one can possibly uphold their religion and condemn another. For none of us can be sure that our interpretation of the Bible is absolutely correct. Freedom of religion is one of the great things we enjoy in this country. For this reason I do not approve of members of some churches visiting around the community trying to convert people from their present religion to theirs. It is not right for one minister to condemn the beliefs of another church. After all, there is only one GOD. As far as the author of the article is concerned, he is certainly welcome to believe as he pleases. But I think it’s high time someone told him to mind his own business, for what goes on in another church is none of his concern. Matthew 7, verse 1 says “Judge not, that ye be not judged”. MRS. CHARLOTTE TURNMEYER Flint Hill Attention Anglophiles To the editor: A great many British subjects, and indeed American citizens with roots in Britain, have enquired how they can participate in Her Majesty The Queen’s Silver TnhiW In April last, His Royal Highness Thfc Prince of Wales launched In Britain an appeal for a Silver Jubilee Trust Fund, whose proceeds were, at the Queen’s express wish, to be used "to help young people to help others”. All over Britain local Silver Jubilee celebrations have been coupled with donations to this Trust Fund, and I am glad to say that “The Queen’s Silver Jubilee Appeal (USA)” has now been formed here with The Queen’s wishes enshrined in its Deed. I have written to a number of Anglo-American clubs and organisations suggesting that they follow the example set in Britain. As the Trust’s exofficio Secretary and Treasurer I should be very glad to hear from organising bodies or individuals who would like to participate or to make a donation to the Trust. I am, Sir Your obedient servant. G L SCULLARD Consul-General-Counsellor British Embassy, Washington Stocking Suspended Jack M. Hoffman, Chief of the Virginia Game Commission’s Fish Division has announced that all trout stocking activity (except in Douthat Lake and Big Tumbling Creek) has been suspended until at least October. Lack of rain has lowered the water levels in most trout streams, and the current long range forecast shows very little wet weather in the offing. The trout currently on hand at the Commission’s trout rearing facilities will be held for stocking as soon as the streams return to acceptable levels. The Little Fox i/JoimTbkr Our Rappahannock Heritage CETA Provides Summer Jobs Twenty-two county youths have found jobs through the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act’s summer program in Rappahannock. The purpose of CETA is “sorta to keep us kids off the street,” CETA worker Roger Smoot told the Rappahannock Planning Commissioners during his presentation before them at last week’s meeting. Jane Bowser, program director in Rappahannock, stated CETA’s first priority a little differently. It’s “giving low income kids jobs and money,” she said. Most of the youths working under her supervision plan on using their summer wages for books and school clothes, she noted. “If we can get them the kind of job that can give them training they can use (for future employment), that’s second priority,” said Miss Bowser. “Keeping kids off the streets and out of mischief is another secondary need filled by< CETA,” she continued. “We had a couple of boys referred to us who were on the verge of getting into trouble. Now that the youths are employed and no longer idle, there have been no further difficulties,” she said. Group Counseling In addition to arranging employment, Miss Bowser also schedules several group counseling meetings during the summer and invites an outside speaker to address the group on job opportunities. Miss Bowser said that youths working under CETA must either fall below poverty guidelines in order to meet income eligibility re quirements or be foster children who are referred automatically by the Welfare Department. Enrollees have to be between 14 and 21 years of age and most be going back to school in the fall. Federally Ponded “CETA is federally funded by the Department of Labor with money distributed to localities by the state through the Virginia Employment Commission,” said Miss Bowser. “The combined budget for the counties of Madison, Fauquier and Rappahannock is $100,000,” she reported. Finding jobs for kids that will increase their chances of finding meaningful future employment on their own is one of the biggest problems faced by Miss Bowser in her administration of Rappahannock’s program. Regulations that go along with the federal dollars prohibit job placement in profit disking organizations.' Work for hbn-pVbflt religious groups is also disallowed. The regulations have required that most of the youths in the county’s summer program be placed in clerical or maintenance jobs related to county government. CETA Pays Salary "CETA provides the salary and benefits. The organization provides the supervision,’ said Miss Bowser. She added that the kids are paid minimum wage, $2.30 an hour, and can work up to a 30-hour week. “Projects on public property are another first priority for the 17 CETA workers not placed in clerical or office jobs,” said Miss Bowser. She noted that a lack of work had made it necessary to accept some jobs from private individuals. All the private jobs have been outside and, in the case of Washington, affect the looks of the town and have long lasting benefit. “We don’t mow lawns or anything like that...Preferably, the work is done for low income families,” Miss Bowser added. Some of the projects completed by or planned for the CETA youths are: —Surveys and work on land use planning under the supervision of the county Engineer’s office and the offices of the Piedmont Environmental Council. —Flooring and gravel work at the Washington Fire Department’s new building. —Compiling of a community resource list including goals and services of state, regional and county governmental organizations, civic groups, clubs and churches. —Painting the inside of courthouse offices and outside of the Community Center. —Cleaning up Flint Hill Carnival grounds and painting the Fire Department building there. —Repairing porch for senior citizens in Amissville area. Miss Bowser said that she is still looking for additional work opportunities for her CETA charges. “If people know of work around the county that fits our guidelines, I’d appreciate being called,” she said. Prison Security Improved «* Escapes trom Virginia s state prisons .reached a tenyear low in fiscal 1977, according to figur&'cbiMfctostf' by the Virginia Department of Corrections. Both the total number of escapes and the rate-per1,000 inmates were at their lowest points in a decade, despite an inmate population which has risen sharply in the past two years. In the year ending June 30, there were 136 escapes from the state’s 11 major institutions and 30 field units for adult offenders. The number represents 19 escapes per 1,000 inmates in the system. The population of the state-operated correctional institutions on June 30 was 7,161, not including state prisoners temporarily held in other facilities. A year earlier, wnen tne June 30 population stood at 5'fOl, there were 303' elfcl^es, * or 53.1 pen thousand. A peak was reached in fiscal 1974, when 578 escapes, or 106.1 per thousand, occurred. Fiscal 1968, which ended with only 4,133 inmates confined in the system, experienced 179 escapes, or 43.1 per thousand. Bible School Vacation Bible School will begin at the Sperryville United Methodist Church, Monday, August 1 and continue through Friday, August 5. The hours are 10 to 12 noon. Children of all ages are invited to attend. !

ASCS Funding Added A Senate-House conference committee, meeting to reconcile differences in the 1978 agricultural appropriations bill, agreed to add funds to bail out the drought and flood conservation practices program run by the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service, Congressman J. Kenneth Robinson reports. Robinson, who served as one of the conferees on the bill that could be sent to the White House this week, said the funds are "specifically for use in areas the government has declared to be emergency drought impact areas, and that includes all 21 counties of our Seventh Congressional District. "It should enable certified farmers to get government cost-sharing help in replanting scorched or overgrazed pastureland, in digging new wells to water their livestock, and in meeting other droughtrelated farm needs.” "Drought has been so extensive in the nation this year,” Robinson explained, "we had to add funding to keep this important program operating.

Farm Bureau Seeks Bicentennial Farms Farms which have been in the same family for at least 200 yean are being sought by the Virginia Farm Bureau, according to Ian Pryde, Rappahannock County Farm Bureau president. The farms, begun before or during 1777, will be recognized as “Bicentennial Farms” by the Virginia Farm Bureau. Registered farms must have been owned by the same family for at least 200 yean and must be 10 acres or larger. The farmowner does not have to be a Farm Bureau member. “The line of ownership from the first family member owning the land may be through wives and husbands, children, brothers and sisters, nephews and nieces. Adopted children will be recognized equally with blood children.” Mr. Pryde said. To enter the program, the farmowner must submit a statement of certification from the Clerk of the Court or other documentation and registration form to the county Farm Bureau. The forms will be reviewed by the county board of directors and recommended to the Virginia Farm Bureau president for recognition and publication. Registration forms will be available from the county Farm Bureau office. Virginia Farm Bureau will continue to receive entries for the Bicentennial Farm certification through 1983 for annual recognition. October 1 will be the deadline for registration for each year of the period. All farms certified during the year will be recognized with a plaque presented at the Virginia Farm Bureau Federation annual meeting. Parasites Gain In War Against Man 11 ■ In the ongoing war of Homan Beings against Rats, the odds seem to favor the Rats. Rats multiply so rapidly that a pair could have 15,000 descendants in a year, reports Thomas Y. Canby in the July National Geographic. Besides that, the average rat can: -wriggle through a hole no larger than a quarter; -scale a brick wall as though it had rungs; •swim half a mile, and tread water for three days; -gnaw through lead pipes and cinder blocks with chisel teeth that exert 24,000 pounds of pressure per square inch; -survive being flushed down a toilet, and enter buildings by the same route; -plummet five stories and scurry off unharmed. Hie Ultimate Parasite “When we speak of rats,” a professor told Canby, “we’re dealing with the most numerous and successful mammals on earth, excepting mily man himself. Unfor tunately for us, the rat’s success Is almost invariably at our expense." This year, in the United States alone, rats will bite thousands of humans and destroy about SI billion worth of property, excluding countless fires they will cause by gnawing electrical in* sulation. They will destroy about a fifth of the world’s food crops. Rats and their parasites will spread at least 20 kinds of disease, from typhus to trichinosis to the deadly Lassa fever. In Asia, Africa, , and the Americas—including the Western States—people will die of plague, borne by the rats’ parasites. The war against the fourlegged menace is worldwide. Rat control is a matter of human survival in Asia, where rats consume enough rice each year to feed a quarter of a billion people. There is new hope: After thousands of hours of experimenting, American and Philippine scientists have found they can cut crop losses in the Philippine rice fields by 95 percent by strategically placing poison bait stations. Attack Frans Air In Hawaii, rats did $11 million worth of damage to the sugarcane crop last year. Biplanes now spread oats mixed with rodentkide on the fields, which is proving more successful at rat control than the introduction of the mongoose nearly a century ago. Cane-wielding “night killers” roam the alleys of Bombay clubbing rats that feed on piles of garbage. They account for only half of the 4,000 rats killed dally, however, not enough to make a dent in the city’s per-* manent rat population. India recently began a mass rat poisoning program, but acceptance has been slow because of the Hindu reverence for life and the rat in particular. Scientists in the United States say sanitation is the best weapon against rats. Amissville Aren News Mr. and Mrs. F.
