Founded 1877 28th Year, No. 40 8 Pages THURSDAY, AUGUST 25,1977 Washington, Virginia Phone 675-3349 j 15' Norton’s Gone Fishing “I don’t have any spare time if the first two weeks are any indication,” said O. A. Norton following his retirement in July as Superintendent of Rappahannock County schools. “I’ve been busy catching up for the past ten or 15 years on lawn and maintenance jobs that I’ve missed.” Norton left his job as Superintendent in Amelia County to assume the combined position of Superintendent for Warren and Rappahannock school systems in 1961. 'The county then had a consolidated high school with eight little neighborhood elementary schools. “Enrollment was a little higher than now with about 100 more children at the elementary level and fewer students in hfgh school,” Norton said. After running the combined school system for 14 years, he became a part-time Superintendent for Rappahannock alone in 1975. During his tenure, Norton directed the switch from neighborhood elementary schools to one consolidated facility. “The county ought to be complimented on the smoothness with which total consolidation was brought about in the ’60’s and the support the School Board received when they asked the public for funds to build the elementary school,” he commented. Norton has watched enrollment in Rappahannock schools decline steadily while the paper burden involved in running the system has mushroomed. When he first began the job, the Aid to Education Act had not been passed and schools were funded from state and local sources. “Over the years, federal money has been increasingly used to pay for added demands placed on schools to provide for the exceptional child who is O. A. NORTON,; Superintendent of the Rappahannock school system for the last 14 years, retired in July but has still been putting in hours at the School Board offices in Sperryville, trying to finish off the last of the 1976-77 school reports:. physically or mentally handicapped,” said Norton. “Along with federal funds have come an increasing number of federal regulations on how the funds are to be spent with the result that paperwork has quadrupled,” he noted. Norton doesn’t think that students have changed much over his sixteen years of work in Rappahannock. “Basically, children are the same. Society has become more permissive and children, as a part of society, may reflect this . . . young people are not under as close supervision as they once were.” But on the whole, Norton felt that Rappahannock had been most fortunate in the conduct and attitudes displayed by county youth. ‘‘We haven’t been caught up in many of the problems that have beset other communities,” he said. Norton also complimented Rappahannock parents. “The community has been interested in its children and has had confidence that the schools would do the best job possible. Schools need the support given by parents who are involved, who care about a child’s progress,” said Norton. “A good school system requires a cooperative effort between parents, teachers and administrators. We all need each other,” he said. “With a full-time Superintendent and an adequate staff, the school system should make progress,” Norton predicted. He noted that the county’s growth rate will determine just how pressing the need becomes for additional classroom space at the high school, adding that inadequate space already interferred with program flexibility there. “I’ve enjoyed my association in the county,” Norton continued. “People have been kind in many ways.” He reported that his immediate future plans are most definite. “I’m going to relax and do some fishing for the next couple of months.” Court To Review Decision On August 17, Circuit Court Judge Raynor V. Snead issued an order for review of the Rappahannock Board of Zoning Appeals’ decision to revoke a special use permit granted to P. E. Steve DeMent III. In a petition filed for a Writ of Certiorari, DeMent maintained that the permit was issued for the extension of an existing building with a 70 foot by 40 foot garage and storage area in accordance with the provisions in the Zoning Ordinance by the BZA on April 14. The petition states that according to the minutes of the BZA meeting and the terms of the permit, “no conditions were placed on the issuance thereof.” In the petition, DeMent notes that his building permit granted in early May stipulates that the new construction will measure 40 feet by 70 feet by 10 feet with a breezeway, 24 feet by 12 feet, joining it to the existing structure. The building permit sets distance from adjoining property lines at 50 feet from the left, 50 feet from the right, 150 feet from the front and 20 feet from the rear and carries a notation that the permit was issued in accordance with the BZA's decision on April 14. DeMent stated in his petition that subsequent BZA action to suspend his special use permit in June and to revoke it in July were taken “unilaterally and without notice and without providing a hearing” Jp the petitioners. He continued in his petition to maintain that the BZA had no authority to suspend or revoke the special use permit and even if it did, that the BZA acted in an arbitrary, capricious and unreasonable manner that constituted a violation of DeMent's right to due process. The petition stated that the granting of the original special use permit alleviated a clearly demonstrable hardship while the action to suspend and revoke “constitutes confiscating property without just compensation and is tantamount to condemnation." DeMent requested the issuance of a restaining order enjoining the BZA or the Zoning Administrator from issuing any notice of violation or any other criminal or civil proceedings until further order of the court is given. In ordering a review of the BZA’s action by the Court, Snead called for all documents and records pertaining to the case to be forwarded for his inspection.

Geocode Costs Presented It will cost the county approximately $6,000 to set up a geocode system that will automate a^yssment and tax records e^T centralize land use inforrpjation, according to Department of Agriculture representatives Gene Wunderlich and Jack Barrett. Wunderlich and Barrett attended last week’s meeting of the Rappahannock Planning Commission to brief the Planners on costs of the system under consideration. Currently, data on land ownership, parcel size, use and slope and development approved administratively (without public notice) is available to the Planners or interested citizens. The information is found in records kept in several locations, including the Clerk’s, Commissioner of Revenue's and Zoning offices. For several months, the Planning Commission members have been discussing the feasibility of adopting a geocode system that would pull together data from all county records and make it available at one source. The Planners have also considered computerizing records for the County Treasurer and Commissioner of Revenue—a job that could be done at the same time as implementation of the geocode system. Geocode Discussed “What is it you want to have geocode?” Wunderlich asked the Commission. “Information from the land books,” answered Planner Newbill Miller. “As much usable information...as we can reasonably expect to get,” Planner E. P. Luke added. Wunderlich explained that coding the physical data was the most expensive part of setting up a geocode system. He noted that merely plotting the latitude and longitude of individual land parcels cost ten cents each. Luke said the county would want to include more than just locator coordinates on any system adopted. Data that would enable officials to program various alternatives for tax and assessment rates would be particularly useful, he noted. "There’s quite a measure of difference” in costs between putting in locator coordinates and automating assessment records, said Barrett. He estimated that the figure for keypunching a minimum amount of data to benefit the Treasurer and Commissioner of Revenue would be $1,000. “I’m not able to give you a figure for geocoding,” he added. “That’s what costs ten cents a parcel,” interjected Wunderlich, noting that this cost figure wouldn’t include data on slope or land cover that the Planners might want to include. Keypunch Coding Barrett told the Planners that there is more expense involved in coding data for key punching than in keypunching itself. Someone in the county offices, he said, could learn to code the information. Barrett suggested that the Planners consider using Arlington County’s computer facilities rather than those at Piedmont Vocational School. “I know they would be pleased to do that service for another county,” he said, adding that Arlington would do the work at their cost. He volunteered to ask an Arlington representative to contact the Rappahannock Planners. Xt tht close of W u Aderlteh’ i and Barrett’s presentation, however, the Planners didn’t appear too optimistic on the chances that the Rappahannock Supervisors would approve the $6,000 expenditure for geocoding. Drought Aid Approved The Drought and Flood Conservation Program has been approved for Rappahannock County. The allocation for Rappahannock County is $6,195. The DFCP is a temporary program which provides assistance that will have an immediate and significant impact on alleviating soil and water conservation problems caused by drought. The county committee has authorized four practices for Rappahannock County. They are DC2, Developing Livestock Water, DC4, Establishing Permanent Vegetative Cover, DC5, Reestablishing Permanent Vegetative Cover and DC14, Establishing Interim Cover Track Site Geared C. N. Aldrich of Rock Mills has volunteered his time and machinery to clear underbrush at the site of the future track at RCHS. Once this clearing has been done, the area will be surveyed and bids for clearing and grading the area for the track will be accpeted. $4,000 has been raised for the track fund with approximately $1,000 additionally needed. Send your donation today to Ned Johnson, P. O. Box 211, Sperryville, Va., 22740. for protection from erosion. Under DFCP, the ASCS will provide up to 80 percent of the cost of earthing out these practices on farms affected by drought. Farmers who have a need for one of the conservation practices should make an application at the Rappahannock County ASCS Office. The signup period is from August 22 through September 2, 1977. All applications must be made during this time. Area producers whose corn yield has been reduced due to the drought are encouraged to make an application under the low yield disaster program. Legislation is now pending in Congress, that if passed, would determine eligibility based on planted acreage rather than on an allotment. For more information about these programs contact the Rappahannock County ASCS Office. Education Group To Meet There will be a meeting of the Rappahannock Citizens for Better Education Monday, August 29, at 7 p.m. at the Episcopal Parish Hall in Washington. Senator Nathan Miller will discuss with the group the formula of the state funding for education. RCHS Opening Agenda The opening day agenda for Rappahannock County High School sutdents will include assembling in home rooms for roll call purposes, an administrative assembly program, shortened class schedules and an early dismissal time of 2 p.m., according to the principal. On the opening day of school, August 29th, students will be provided their class schedules, locker numbers and room assignments. They will also be provided a list of fees including the cost of textbook rentals and textbook purchases. Students will be asked to show this list to their parents and guardians. Rental textbooks will be available in the areas of English, Math and Science. Textbooks used in other subject areas will have to be purchased new or second hand. At this point, the high school anticipates an enrollment of 455. Ordinance Review To Begin By DAPHNE McCULLOUGH Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock Planners decided at last Wednesday’s Commission meeting that it’s time to begin a review of the county’s zoning and subdivision ordinances. Chairman Herbert Barksdale noted that the ordinances were adopted in 1973 “They should be looked at in 1978. I thought it’s not too early to get started.” Planner Newbill Miller suggested that the Planners conduct a “line by line review” of the ordinances. Panning Baumgardner volunteered to go over the minutes of Planning Commission meetings held since 1973 to check for sections of the ordinances that the Planners had singled out as needing changes. Planner Pete Luke suggested that the Zoning Administrator be asked for a list of changes that he felt were needed. Barksdale interjected that McNear had informed the Planners he was discussing areas he felt needed attention with Commonwealth Attorney George Davis prior to making any recommendations to the Planners. “We don’t want solutions. We want the problems,’’ Luke responded. Planner George Muth suggested that the review start at the next regular Commission meeting. “Should action be taken immediately to close the recently discovered loophole in the zoning ordinance that pertains to residential subdivisions?” asked Planner Walter Masterson. (At a previous Commission meeting. Miller alerted the Planners to the lack of a minimum lot size requirement in the ordinance for RS I Districts. This loophole, he maintained, would allow developers to subdivide down to one acre lots after winning a rezoning to RS 1 if approved water and sewer systems were put in.) Loophole Action Not Urgent “There’s no urgency until Miller To Visit County Senator Nathan H. Miller will be visiting in the Rappahannock County area on Monday, August 29th- “I am looking forward to th^ opportunity of dropping by for a visit with all my friends in Rappahannock County. It is always good to hear the comments from the people on how they feel about the state government and the issues before the legislature.” Senator Miller will be at the Rappahannock County Court House from 12 noon to 1 p.m. "If anyone has any questions or problems, please stop by and chat with me.” Later on that evening. Senator Miller will be attending the Rappahannock Citizens for Better Education meeting. we get a rezoning request,” said Miller. He explained that an ordinance amendment could be advertized at the same time as a rezoning, should application be made, and action could be taken to close the loophole at the subsequent public hearing prior to consideration of the rezoning. Considerations On Plan Begin The Planners took a small first step in efforts towards developing a Comprehensive Plan for the county and requested Fanning Baumgardner to write for copies of plans adopted in Rockingham, Madison and Orange Counties. Miller reported that he had made no arrangements for Commission members to meet with Planners in other nearby. counties for discussions on comprehensive planning. "I’ve heard Rockingham has a decent Comprehensive Plan,” Miller stated. “Do any adjoining counties have a Comprehensive Plan that’s working?" he asked RapBook Rentals Hours Set Kindergarten school fees of $12 will be collected at the Rappahannock Elementary School on Friday, August 26, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., and on Saturday, August 27, from 9 a.m. to 12 noon. If possible, parents are asked to bring their children when they go to pay the fees. School officials feel that the opening of school on August 29 will be easier for the students if they can see the school and classrooms before Monday morning. All elementary book rental and activity fees may be paid at Rappahannock Elementary School Friday nights and Saturday morning, in addition to the kindergarten fees. pahannock-Rapidan Planning District Director John Cappelle. “Don’t tell me Fauquier, because it's not.” Cappelle replied that Madison, a county similar in many respects to Rappahannock, had a good plan but that it had only been adopted three months ago and so hadn’t yet been adequately tested. “1 wouldn’t take the time out to drive over to she Culpeper's plan,” he said and noted that Fauquier County is in the middle of revising the Comprehensive Plan there. Fauquier's first plan didn't work anyway. Miller interjected. What Not To Do "That’s very true,” agreed Cappelle, adding that Fauquier County could serve as a good example to Rappahannock on “what not to do" with a Comprehensive Plan. He suggested that plans from counties with land in the Shenandoah National Park be examined by the Commissioners. Luke noted that the Rockingham County plan had been adopted after a series of meetings in the various communities there with great involvement. Barksdale agreed that this would also be the course to follow in formulating a plan for Rappahannock, noting that community meetings had been held throughout the county to garner citizen opinion on the zoning ordinance before it was adopted. If the Plan is at all controversial, then people will turn out for hearings, added Miller. At his suggestion. Chairman Barksdale- asked Baumgardner to secure copies of ^Comprehensive Plans from Rockingham, Madison and Orange for the Planners to study before meeting with Commission members from other counties. I’M GOING, I’M GOING—stop pushing might have been the reaction of this tiny tot who marched in Thursday’s Amissville parade.

The annual cost of medical attention, the lots of earning ability due to temporary or permanent impairment, the direct property damage, and the insurance costs amount to fnany billions Of dollars each year, not to mention the toll in pain, suffering, disability, and personal tragedy." Being reminded it surely necessary, but even more important is the matter of coping with the situation. During the recent and most severe winter in our history, several members of the Sperryville Volunteer Rescue Squad completed a comprhensive First Aid training course. We feel that the reason for this typical effort is also important for you to know about. To help alleviate the statistics quoted above is bask to the mission of the SVRS. Prompt rescue service, first aid luiowledp and skill can mean the difference between life and death, between temporary and permanent disability, and between rapid recovery and long hospitalization. The volunteer service mission of the SVRS is to help you. your loved ones, your friends and visitors when an emergency arises. The Stats and the public are insisting on more thoroughly trained personnel and more up-todate-dquipment. This requires funds from the people in our service area, since the County does not fund rescue services in Rappahannock. Now you have the reason for this letter. Your continued financial support will enable the SVRS to provide the between element when an emergency arises. The members of the SVRS who provide rescue service for you and your Community are now asking you to volunteer your financial sosietenre. Your support wiO enable m to continue serving you. Pleaee make your check payable to SVRS and tend it to Cecil Baldwin, Sperryville. Virginia 22740. Finance Committee Respectfully, Cedi Baldwin, Chairman Dale J.

The Virginia High School League sets down spectator guidelines which are outlined as follows: The Spectator should: (1) Realize that he represents the school just as definitely as does the member of a team, and therefore, has an obligation to be a true sportsman, encouraging through this behavior the practice of good sportsmanship by others. (2) Recognize that good sportsmanship is more important than victory, by approving and applauding good team play, individual skill, and outstanding examples of sportsmanship and fair play exhibited by either team. (3) Recognize that, since the primary purpose of interschool athletics is to promote the physical, mental, Pickups Collide A two-vehicle collision occured August 17 on Route 211, three miles east of Washington.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 25,1977 Principals or Principles The controversy over the reassignment of seventh grade science teacher Lynne Baines, despite her objections, to instructor in a fifth-sixth grade combination class continues. At a special meeting last Sunday night, the Rappahannock School Board drafted a resolution requesting that Superintendent William Bloomer return Mrs. Baines to head the science program—a program that she organized four years ago. Bloomer declined to honor the request. Apparently, the new Superintendent feels bound to the “lame duck” reassignemnet made by ex-elementary principal Buddy Carter. Carter has gone and the timing of his departure has caused us to question his sense of judgement. In a move that struck us as blatantly unprofessional, Carter turned in his resignation as principal at the August 9 School Board meeting, just three weeks before classes were scheduled to start. He left Rappahannock in the lurch to take a position in his home county of Alleghany after holding the position vacated by the retirement of principal Mary Quaintance for approximately six weeks. Carter has spent 4 years in Rappahannock schools. He has first hand knowledge of the difficulties that rural, relatively low-paying systems perennially face in attracting top notch educators. In any case, by the middle of August, the crop of teachers and administrators has been thoroughly picked over. Most of the good ones, the ones with better credentials and experience, have been hired. Rappahannock’s difficulties in finding a replacement for an elementary administrator are compounded by the county’s housing shortage—another area where Carter has first hand knowledge. A new principal surely wouldn’t be impressed by having only two weeks before the start of school to find a home for his family in a county where it sometimes takes a year (or forever) to find an adequate dwelling. It is our recollection that the new seventh grade science teacher was presented to the School Board several months ago for employment approval as the fifth-sixth combination teacher. We’ve since learned that she expected to hold that position up to the time she was introduced at Monday’s teacher’s meeting as the new science instructor. At the last School Board meeting, several parents protested against Mrs. Baine’s reassignment, telling the Board that they had looked forward to having her instruct their children in science. If the parents, Mrs. Baines and the School Board members are all unhappy with the switch, we fail to see any compelling reason to uphold Carter’s assignment. If one has been stated, we missed it. Letters To The Editor Discretion To the editor: In reference to Mr. Konick’s letter regarding letters to the editor using pseudonyms, I would like to point out that Alexander Hamilton, John Jay and James Madison all wrote under the pseudonym of Publius in 1787. The Federalist papers were the result of these “Anonymous” letters and they facilitated in the adoption of the United States Constitution. Discretion is not cowardice, nor should it prevent one’s opinions from being presented to the public. To digress a moment, may I publicly ask the Board of Supervisors why they feel it proper to systematically exclude all those who must work for a living from their meetings? Were I to attend all the supervisors’ meetings, I would be without a job. Do 1 ask too much? C. MANSON Washington, Va. School System Editor: copy of letter I have sent to Or. Bloomer, Rappahannock County School Superintendent. Dear Dr. Bloomer: Tonight at the meeting of the Rappahannock School Board, I believe you did untold damage to the school system, the teachers and the children. If a competent teacher can be tossed round because of ill feelings of an incompetent administrator and not have you overcome, rescind or reverse that decision, you are in fact encouraging incompetence. We have more than enough of that in our State system now. I was of course naive enough to believe in principles and right, long forgotten items in our public I talked extensively with three members of the School Board and all agreed that Mrs. Baines belongs in the Seventh Grade Science Program, a program she worked extremely hard to develop and a position that I have heard no complaints of—Children look forward to Mrs. Baines Seventh Grade. The High School is pleased with the product she sends to them. She is happy in that life. position and has no wish to be moved, nor was she consulted about this. I realize that you have the degression to move her, and any other teacher any place you wish ... All of the teahcers are now more than ever aware of this. Susan Henry or Corrinna Fountain probably wonder if they will be next ... They are competent. I thought that teachers in the school system were placed as nearly as possible in the area they enjoyed teaching and new teachers coming into the sytem were then placed, where other openings were. I suppose you do not have to give a reason for your action, but I wonder what it is—Surely not just blind protection of another administrator and State procedure. Teachers also need protection—and who suffers most—those children of course. Elizabeth L. Streagle Forum on Waste To the editor: Persons attending the Candidates’ Meeting last May indicated strongly that a public information forum regarding the disposition of wastes would be valuable to those who have to struggle with this problem on a local level. In view of the lagoon problem at the elementary school as well as the problems around the cost of the dumpsters and the ultimate disposition of their contents, the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection has developed a program which will address both topics. In the past, the Annual Meeting has been held on the first Friday of September and has often conflicted with Labor Day weekend plans. We have rescheduled this meeting so that it will fall on the Friday following the holiday, September 9th. In a further effort to accommodate those who feel that the meetings do not end early enough, we will convene the meeting at 7:30 p.m. and will try on this occasion to start on time. All of the above is designed to attract the largest number of persons possible in order that these issues which are already before the public and which will ultimate effect each of us since tax dollars must be expended for such services, may be clarified. No program chairman can e,ver guarantee that the speakers will be perfect, nor even that they will be able to answer all of the questions raised; however, we would like to be able to assure the speakers, each an expert in his field who has agreed to come without compensation to help us to solve our problems, of the largest possible audience prepared to ask the questions about the most urgent community concern. We will look forward to seeing many citizens at the Court House. MITZ1E YOUNG Program Ch., RLEP Annual Meeting of RLEP To the editor: The Rappahannock league for Environmental Protection, at its Annual Meeting on Friday, September 9th at 7:30 p.m. at the Court House in Washington, Virginia, will sponsor a discussion concerning waste disposal. In an effort to respond to public interest in this subject which is of special concern to persons living in rural areas where the population is expanding, the R.L.E.P. has invited two experts to address this topic. Mr. Leo Horvath of McLean, Virginia, who has had much experience in planning sewer systems and in developing new methods of waste disposal is expected to discuss the various ways in which rural'communities might most efficiently and economically address this problem. Mr. Stanley Asreal of Alexandria who owns and operates one of the largest scrap disposal plants in the state will deal with the subject as it pertains to both recyclable and non-recyclable products. These matters of environmental (water and land) pollution are of particular interest to the League but it is hoped that the public will attend this meeting. After each speaker has presented his point of view, the meeting will be open for questions from the audience. Following the program a brief business meeting will be held at which there will be the election of officers to the RLEP. MITZIE YOUNG Program Ch., RLEP r :; Greg Swaim At Camp Greg Swaim, age 14, son ol Mr. and Mrs. Charles Swa^ Flint Hill, attended the first session of CAMP HOLIDAY TRAILS in Albemarle County, Virginia.

Our Rappahannbck Heritage Rappahannock Forests Part IV: Firewood By 1 LYT WOOD Rappahannock News Correspondent “Firewood will warm you twice.” I’m not sure where I heard this saying, but to put it to the test, you merely have to spend an hour or two at the chopping block, early on a November morning, dripping with sweat in subfreezing air. That same wood will warm you again the next year, with your feet propped up to the fireplace on a windy winter’s night. Heating with wood has such a charm and a practicality that hundreds of homes in Rappahannock County rely on wood as their main scource of heat. According to the U.S. Census, this amounted to nearly one third of the total number of homes in the county in 1970. Also, there is an exceptional market for firewood in the urban areas to the northeast, where a cord of wood can be sold for $60 or more. A woodlot managed primarily,, for timber production can provide a source of firewood in two ways. First, improvement cuttings can be made in the young timber stand which will remove the less valuable trees (such as hickory) and trees which are crooked or diseased. These cuttings will actually increase the productivity of the stand since the best trees will be allowed more growing space. Second, when a mature stand is cut for timber, there are always some parts of the trees which aren't usable as sawlogs because they are crooked or too small. These tree-tops and branches are ideal firewood material. Now let’s consider the special case where a landowner wishes to utilize his woodlot primarily for firewood production. Under careful management, a five or six acre woodlot of good hardwoods should, in my estimation, provide an ample and continuous supply of firewood to heat an average home. General management practices would not differ much from those discussed earlier under “Timber Produptiqp,” but,( the following suggestions might be helpful: 1. The very best kinds of trees for firewood are hickory, oaks, and ash. Red maple, yellow poplar, and pines are less desirable (although pine will make good kindling). Improvement cuttings should remove undesirable trees at a relatively small size to favor the growth of the best trees. 2. Be very careful not to create a “hole” in the stand by concentrating the cutting in one area. This would be wasted growing space that should be utilized. It is better to have a poor tree growing in a certain space than to have nothing at all. 3. Utilize all of the wood that you can, right down to the smallest branches. 4. Finally, the amount of wood that you will need to ciit would be reduced by properly seasoning the wood for a year or so, and by burning the wood in an efficient air-tight heater. This type of stove will certainly pay for itself within a couple of years, considering the fuel savings. Common sense and careful forethought in the selection of trees to cut will assure a sustained yield of firewood indefinitely. Wall-to-Wall Smokeys Effective “Wall-to-wall Smokeys” was the transmission heard quite frequently from motorists with citizen band radios during the July 1 - July 7, 1977, holiday period along Interstate 95. And the transmission was rather accurate. The Virginia State Police, in an effort to reduce the frequency of traffic accidents and the resultant injuries and deaths, were indeed “wall-towall” from the Richmond City Limits to Washington, D.C., during a one-week operation initiated by Major C. M. Boldin, Field Supervisor of the Department. According to Major Boldin, 20 troopers and two supervising sergeants from Division I, Richmond, were assigned to patrol 1-95 from the Richmond City Limits to the Spotsylvania-Stafford County Line for one eighthour shift each day between July 1 and July 7. Another 20 troopers and one supervising sergeant from Division II, Culpeper were assigned to patrol 1-95 north of Fredericksburg to Washington, D.C., during similar periods. “We felt it absolutely necessary to try this method of law enforcement,” said Major Boldin, “in an effort to reduce tragic accidents during this time of heavy traffic volume and to determine the effect of saturation patrol. Results of the increased patrol indicate troopers drove 50,823 miles and made 2,269 arrests. Of these arrests, 1,647 were for speeding, 90 for reckless driving and 11 for driving under the influence of alcohol. A total of 43 accidents were investigated during this period. Although speeding arrests were high in number, there were several other very significant indicators that the program was successful. During this period, troopers were able to assist more than 1,500 motorists for various reasons and the visibility of troopers undoubtedly helped to discourage potential violators. Through July 7, 1977, a toatl of 488 persons were killed on Virginia’s highways as compared to 500 at that time last year.

Latin American Women Attend Labor Institute Tobacco farm laborers in Honduras, even though some are unionized, are paid only $1.50 per day, according to Erlinda Hernandez. “They were paid only $1 before the Union came,” she added. Mrs. Hernandez, recording secretary of a tobacco worker’s trade union, was one of 40 some Latin American women attending a recent session at the American Institute for Free Labor Development outside of Front Royal. The Institute, established in 1962, is dedicated to helping the workers in. Latin America and the Caribbean raise their standard of living by building strong, democratic labor organizations. Created by the AFL-CIO, American Institute for Free Labor Development (AIFLD) programs are sponsored by American labor, business and government with the major portion of funding supplied by the government. The Front Royal Center is only a small part of a total AIFLD effort that includes assistance in construction of housing for Latin American workers, establishment of the first workers’ housing bank and provision of interest-free loans for financing such projects as land purchase, construction of community centers and gymnasiums and the purchase of printing equipment. Over 2,000 labor activists, the best graduates from AIFLD in-country educational programs, have been trained at the Front Royal center since 1966, reported Director Jack Heberly. Professors from the American labor movement and experts in specialized fields from Washington area universities serve as instructors on topics ranging from leadership training to union structure and finances, collective bargaining and political and economic systems. The little town of Front Royal seems an unusual site for a major international training center. Other centers operated under the same program are located in highly urbanized areas - the Afro-American Labor College in New York and the Asian American Free Labor Institute in Washington, D.C. Front Royal was selected for the Latin American center because the site there was available, suitable and union-owned. Located on 76 acres on the Shenandoah River, the facility was previously used by the Communications Workers of America for training programs and included a small recreational lodge, equipped to house and feed the students in ideal surroundings. Since acquiring the property, the Institute has added new dormitories, a classroom building with equipment for simultaneous interpreting and other improvements. The college campus at mosphere of the Front Royal center contributes to the pleasantness of the student’s stay, a very important factor in U.^—Latin American foreignl policy, according to HeberlV. The impressions that fledgling labor leaders collect ar^ “the key to their remembering the United States in good terms,” he said. During the seven weeks course, the Latin American students have time for very little besides their studies. Heberly said that four days are usually Spent on field trips through the Valley and adjoining counties. In the evenings, the students are free to leave for shopping trips in Front Royal. But their activities are limited by language barriers since few of them speak English. Heberly emphasized that town merchants and residents have gone out of their way to cooperate and assist the Spanish speaking visitors. “The people in Front Royal have become very used to seeing our students on the street and in stores,” he said. The students themselves seemed impressed with Virginia’s Piedmont region. “It’s very beautiful here,” commented class leader Esperanza de Zambrano, “but very lonely.” Speaking through an interpreter, both Mrs. Zambrano and Erlinda Hernandez expressed hope that what they learned from their courses at the Institute could be used to strengthen the trade union movement in their countries. Mrs. Hernandez said her newly gained knowledge was “too much to assimilate right away.” She said she planned to call a general meeting of her tobacco union and distribute literature and books supplied by the Institute. She added that she, too, would continue to study the materials. "There are thousands of fanners and farm workers who are not members of the union,” she continued. “I’m now better equipped to teach people what the union is all about” in an attempt to increase membership. Esparanza de Zambrano is president of a 347 member hotel workers union in Quito, Ecuador. She commented that, in many instances, unionism is equated with communism in Latin America as in the United States. She noted that all types of unions exist in her country with some oriented towards communism, some middle-of-the-road and some right wing. “The communists do little work and a lot of talking,” she said. “We (Continued on Page 8) LATIN AMERICAN LABOR LEADERS, all of them women, at the American Institute for Free Labor Development’s last program attended classes with an interpreter and equipment for simultaneous trans lation.

CELEBRATING THEIR SIXTIETH WEDDING Anniversary Saturday were Mr. and Mrs. Frank Atkins, pictured with their children, Elmer Atkins and" Mrs. Florine Estes, all of Sperryyille. Mr. and Mrs. Atkins were married at her home August 22, 1917 by the Rev. Warren Corbin. Approximately a hundred friends and relatives were present to offer congratulations wishes. Personal Suit Against Supervisors Dismissed Last May, Circuit Court Judge Carlton Penn dismissed a personal liability suit brought against the Loudoun Board of Supervisors by a disgruntled developer, ruling that the Supervisors enjoyed absolute immunity while acting within the sphere of their public duties. This ruling should be of interest to the Rappahannock Supervisors. During the continuing Sheriffs Department mileage dispute, the Board has been warned by Rappahannock Commonwealth Attorney George Davis that he would bring suit against individual board members on behalf of the county if those individuals persisted in approving mileage reim bursements that Davis deemed improper. In addition, Supervisor Chairman E. P. Luke has expressed concern on several occasions that members of the Board of Supervisors could be sued personally by developers for decisions on rezonings. The Loudoun suit was filed by representatives of Gateway of the World subdivision, and included a request for damages levied against the members of the Loudoun Board who voted against approval of the development as well as a request that the denial be overturned. Apparently in agreement with points raised in the brief filed by Loudoun County Attorney Steve Robin, Judge Penn dismissed the per DRY CLEAN WHEN YOU CARE.... t-ywtingtoft cfab/ime Fine Fashions and Draperies Our Specialty Professional Tailoring 72 Hour Suede Cleaning 117 E.

Absolute Immunity In his brief, Robin argued that members of Boards of Supervisors enjoyed the same absolute immunity accorded to State Legislators while acting within the sphere of their actual public duties. “Absolute immunity is accorded to those public officials who are called on upon to exercise a high degree of discretion,” Robin stated. He noted in his brief that the United States Supreme Court has not passed on the specific question of absolute immunity in the case of local legislators but maintained that a rational existed for extending the absolute immunity afforded to State legislators on to county legislators. “The county is a political subdivision of the state and exercises a wide range of legislative functions on the authority delegated to it by the state,” he stated. “The county is a closely related arm of the state, particularly in the legislative field.” Robin noted that the Board of Supervisors, as a body politic, has “sovereign immunity against tortious acts” and argued that the individual Board members are also covered by sovereign immunity against suits for tortious acts committed while they are acting within the sphere of actual legislative activity. This is according to a long standing common-law doctrine in Anglo-Saxon American jurisprudence, Robin’s brief continued. The underlying rationale for this doctrine is “to prevent threat of personal lawsuit from burdening governmental policy-making.” In the brief, Robin quotes extensively from an opinion rendered by Judge Learned Hand. In a case involving personal liability filed against a local governing body, Hand held that “to submit all officials, the innocent as well as the guilty, to the burden of a trail and to the inevitable danger of its outcome, would dampen the ardor of all but the most resolute, or the most irresponsible, to the unflinching discharge of their duties. Again and again, the public interest calls for action which may turn out to be founded on a mistake, in the face of which an official may find himself hard put to it to satisfy a jury of his good faith. There must indeed be a means of punishing public officers who have been truant to their duties; but that is quite another matter from exposing such as have been honestly mistaken to suit by anyone who has suffered from their errors... It has been thought in the end better to leave unredressed the wrongs done by dishonest officers than to subject those who try to do their duty to the ^constant threat of retaliation.” Building? •Paint •Lumber •Miliwork •Hardware ^ Complete One-Step BUILDING SUPPLY Warrenton Building Material Cov Inc. on the By-Pass Warrenton 347-1400 Engagement Announced Mr. and Mrs. John Dalziel Wood of Atlanta, Georgia announce the engagement of their daughter, Louise Dudley, to John Granger Macfarlane III, son of Mr. and Mrs. Macfarlane, Jr. of Roanoke.

Price Pastor r COUNTR Y JOURNAL By NANCY SECRIST Extension Agent Many people when living in the country decide to buy a side of beef and store it in the freezer. The following information can help you make the decision of whether it is worth it for you. The average side of beef, one that has choice quality and has a yield grade of 3, will weigh about 307 pounds and on the current market will cost approximately $0.67pound. To this you must add 12 cents to 15 cents per pound for processing and freezing. If 13 cents per pound for processing is used you are going to pay in the neighborhood of $245.60 for the carcass. Of the 307 pound carcass, you will get approximately 210 pounds of meat; the remainder being fat and bone. If you divide the 210 pounds into your cost of $245.60, you will find that the meat actually costs about $1.17 per pound. Add to this the average cost for the locker rental and your final cost per pound is about $1.26. At $1.26, T-bone steaks sound cheap but $1.26 soup bone is relatively expensive which leads us to the following discussion. One of the things you must be aware of is that when you buy a side of beef you get a tremendous variety of products. If you do not like or will not use all that you get, it may be much wiser to purchase only what you need. Obviously, the decision on whether or not to buy a side of beef must be a personal one. The current average store price for all beef is in the $1.30-$ 1.40 range; down 15 cents to 20 cents per pound from 12 months ago. If you like everything you get from a side and add intangible value on having your own beef or having it handy like you would in a home freezer, then purchasing a side may be a good thing for you to do. If on the other hand, your family eats a large amount of ground beef, they don’t like soup bone or you can’t really afford to buy $245.00 worth of meat at one time, you may decide to shop specials. When you tire of canning tomatoes and still have an abundance, try this recipe: Gazpacho An old Spanish dish with a hundred variations, gazpacho is a cold soup that seems a little like a salad because it is made of fresh vegetables and flavored with oil and vinegar. 3 lbs. tomatoes, peeled and cut up (6 cups) 1 onion, cut in chunks Vi cup green pepper chunks Vi cup cucumber chunks 2 cups tomato juice 1 clove garlic, minced Vi teaspoon ground cumin 1 tablespoon salt Freshly ground black pepper V* cup olive oil */« cup white wine vinegar 1 cup peeled, chopped tomatoes Vi cup Finely chopped onion Vi cup finely chopped green pepper Vi cup finely chopped cucumber Garlic groutons Combine tomatoes, onion, green pepper and cucumber chunks. Puree them in a blender or food mill until smooth. Then transfer the mixture to a large bowl or tureen and stir until well mixed and smooth. Add tomato juice, garlic, cumin, salt and pepper. Cover and chill well. Before serving, stir in the oil and vinegar.

Latin Women (Continued from Page 1) negotiate with communist labor unions only on matters specifically relating to workers’ issues, on the welfare of the workers. We try very hard not to get involved on political issues with the communists.*’ Mrs. Zambrano is personally concerned with using the union movement to raise women’s positions in society in Ecuador, in addition to improving the country’s general standard of living. “Our main objective will be to teach women to be more independent as far as work is concerned,” she said. There’s a stigma attached to women involved in union activities, she commented. “We want them to stop worrying about being judged... There’s nothing wrong with being an active union participant,” Mrs. Zambrano maintained. She reported that she planned to work towards organizing educational centers to teach women job skills along with labor laws and their individual rights and that she hoped to bring JACK HEBERLY, the director of AIFLD’s Front Royal center, relaxed in conversation with Esperanza de Zambrano and Erlinda Hernandez after classes finish for the day. more people into the labor movement. An immediate objective will be to get those already involved in unions to learn the rights and protections offered to workers, she said. "We have very beautiful laws on the books but they’re not enforced. We’ll work to have them enforced and more enacted.” She concluded that all the women who had attended AlFLD’s 73rd program “will go back to their own countries with renewed ambition, hope and energy.” Reach nearly everyone in Rappahannock County with your Classified Ad.
